| grandwatch_COMMA | hey. | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| grandwatch_COMMA | would a radeon 7700 perform as good on ubuntu a son windows? | 00:08 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | regarding the driver quality. | 00:08 |
| Denyerec | In the file manager, what's the command key to spawn a new window ? | 00:09 |
| Denyerec | Also, are there any file managers that are somewhat less.... basic. | 00:10 |
| Denyerec | Like Directory Opus, for example ? | 00:10 |
| mouse | #FreeBSD | 00:11 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | mouse, can you help? | 00:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | Denyerec: as in?: nautilus | 00:13 |
| Denyerec | Whatever the default file "manager" is | 00:14 |
| Denyerec | (More of a file browser if you ask me) | 00:14 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | nautilus. | 00:14 |
| Denyerec | Just wanted to spawn a new window - couldn't | 00:14 |
| Denyerec | had to use the mouse | 00:14 |
| Denyerec | Tried Alt N, Ctrl N, Ctrl Alt N | 00:14 |
| Denyerec | Nothing seemed to trip it off | 00:14 |
| Denyerec | But in the file menu, I see "new window" with N as a shortcut key underlined. | 00:14 |
| Denyerec | Thought that'd be Alt+N | 00:14 |
| Denyerec | But didn't seem to work | 00:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | grandwatch_COMMA: ati support tends to leave you with 2 choices: decent 2d performance and practically no 3d with radeon driver, or good 3d and crap 2d with fglrx | 00:15 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | what's with the three floodbots? | 00:15 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | it was fine on windows. | 00:16 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | but for some reason catalyst doesn't save the settings, I've tried everything. | 00:16 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | running as root.. | 00:16 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | hitsujiTMO, could you help with this problem? where catalyst wont save my settings. the screen always goes back to not spreading out compltely. across the screen. | 00:17 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | 1680 x 1050.. | 00:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | try setting up an xorg.conf | 00:18 |
| Denyerec | How do I spawn a root file manager? | 00:18 |
| === Terminator_ is now known as Terminator | ||
| hitsujiTMO | to be honest, i avoid ati graphics like the plague, so can't help you with the specifics | 00:19 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | i dont have dvi ports. | 00:19 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | this is a tv. | 00:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | Denyerec: install gksu and do: gksudo nautilus | 00:19 |
| grandwatch_COMMA | i would have gone for nvidia. | 00:19 |
| Denyerec | Oh, so you can't right click and "run as root" ? | 00:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | Denyerec: not that i know of | 00:20 |
| Denyerec | MMM | 00:20 |
| Denyerec | Maybe I should install Thunar instead of Nautilis | 00:20 |
| Denyerec | Nautilus seems awfully... basic. | 00:20 |
| Denyerec | Is it supposed to be ? | 00:20 |
| Denyerec | Or is it operating in some kind of newbie mode? | 00:20 |
| Denyerec | Bit new to Linux GUI, sorry :( | 00:21 |
| Denyerec | (Server commandline for years) | 00:21 |
| oldsmokey | gotta luv linux | 00:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | yeah, its intended for base use. power users tend to stick with terminal | 00:21 |
| Denyerec | Bit of a quantum leap that. | 00:21 |
| Denyerec | "Here, have a crayon. Or this supercomputer." | 00:21 |
| oldsmokey | cant wait to tweak the crap out of it | 00:21 |
| Denyerec | :) | 00:22 |
| oldsmokey | 3.12.0-031200rc6-generic will make it scream lol | 00:23 |
| sophie__ | oldsmokey, what's new in 3.12 over 3.8 from the standpoint of the end user? | 00:25 |
| ExWizzard | hello everyone, is it possible to restore an rm -rf / server by wgeting the files from another identical server /boot /usr and all that? | 00:27 |
| Thalheim | ExWizzard, how did you end up in this situation? | 00:28 |
| ExWizzard | i was called to fix this, i dont know the exact details, the user with root access executed the command | 00:29 |
| Thalheim | well, | 00:29 |
| Thalheim | you'd need to boot it from a live system | 00:29 |
| OerHeks | ExWizzard, not possible unless you were root. if so, time to backup and reinstall. | 00:29 |
| ExWizzard | i am booted into rescue mode, with the partitions attached | 00:30 |
| ExWizzard | half the files are there | 00:30 |
| ExWizzard | other half not.. | 00:30 |
| Thalheim | recover the files that you can. | 00:30 |
| Thalheim | then reinstall | 00:30 |
| Thalheim | and rsync the files from there | 00:30 |
| ExWizzard | i see, so no chance of bringing the server up online without reinstalling? | 00:30 |
| === leon is now known as Guest68286 | ||
| Thalheim | not really | 00:31 |
| Guest68286 | 这是哪里 | 00:31 |
| ExWizzard | i was hoping to run a file recovery program on the partition | 00:31 |
| Thalheim | at least that i know of | 00:31 |
| Thalheim | you can still run a recovery program on it | 00:31 |
| Thalheim | but there's no way you're going to do this on a live system | 00:31 |
| ExWizzard | the rescue mode is read only, cannot compile the recovery program | 00:32 |
| Thalheim | worst case, mount a network drive | 00:32 |
| Thalheim | and compile everything on there | 00:32 |
| tking0036 | I figured out the problem.. curl is replacing & in links with & | 00:32 |
| tking0036 | how do I stop that | 00:32 |
| Thalheim | tking0036, what language are you calling curl from, if any? | 00:33 |
| tking0036 | bash | 00:33 |
| Thalheim | is it in quotes? | 00:33 |
| ExWizzard | okay thanks | 00:34 |
| tking0036 | It's not.. I'll try putting the url in quotyes | 00:34 |
| Thalheim | tking0036, if that fails, escape all of the &'s with \ slashes | 00:34 |
| Thalheim | like this \& this | 00:34 |
| tking0036 | is that -e ? | 00:34 |
| Thalheim | tking0036, what command are you using? | 00:35 |
| === master is now known as Guest63859 | ||
| tking0036 | im doing curl -b cookies.txt --url "the url" | 00:35 |
| tking0036 | writing out with > out.txt | 00:36 |
| Thalheim | and your url is in double quotes and it still fails? | 00:36 |
| tking0036 | it doesnt fail.. It puts & | 00:36 |
| Thalheim | is the url constant? | 00:36 |
| tking0036 | It works.. Like I get that page | 00:36 |
| tking0036 | but there are links on the page with & in them | 00:37 |
| tking0036 | and it replaces every & in the response file with & | 00:37 |
| Thalheim | oh i see | 00:37 |
| tking0036 | Could I do something with sed? | 00:38 |
| Thalheim | thinking | 00:38 |
| tking0036 | I don't regex so idk there | 00:38 |
| m4t | hey, could someone tell me what is renaming eth0 to em1 in 13.10? | 00:38 |

| wr3d | hi all | 00:39 |
| fwaokda | using ssh whats the proper way to download a file to my pc from remote location? i tried scp filename ~/home/user/ but it put a copy on the remote server there | 00:39 |
| wr3d | does anyone know how to enable appmenu in GTK apps? | 00:39 |
| wr3d | or does unity-gtk2-module take care of that now? | 00:39 |
| tking0036 | Thalheim: any ideas? | 00:40 |
| Thalheim | try uppercase B | 00:40 |
| ausxxh | this is a dumb question, is there a way i somehow apt-get back to the stage of fresh install? | 00:40 |
| ausxxh | reinstall with uefi and windows8 is always scary | 00:40 |
| Thalheim | ausxxh, reinstall windows 8? | 00:41 |
| ausxxh | no reinstall ubuntu | 00:41 |
| Thalheim | oh | 00:41 |
| ausxxh | in fact my laptop does not have a windows 8 cd with it | 00:41 |
| Thalheim | then what does w8 have to do with it? | 00:41 |
| ausxxh | my ubuntu is 'broken' somehow | 00:41 |
| ausxxh | dual-boot, and i want to see if i can 'reset' ubuntu before i have to reinstall it | 00:42 |
| ausxxh | 12.04 that is | 00:42 |
| ausxxh | i think it's caused by some stupid i386 packages required by androdi build | 00:42 |
| Thalheim | ah | 00:42 |
| tking0036 | Thalheim: -B is for FTP transfers | 00:42 |
| overdub | fwaokda, scp -v user@host:/path/to/file . | 00:42 |
| fwaokda | thanks | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | ausxxh, there is no reset. | 00:43 |
| fwaokda | overdub, is there a cmd or something to find out what my user@host should be? | 00:44 |
| overdub | that would be the remote machine user host | 00:44 |
| fwaokda | ahh ok thanks | 00:44 |
| overdub | you said you wanted to copy a file to your computer from remote | 00:44 |
| fwaokda | yup | 00:44 |
| tking0036 | can someone help me with sed | 00:45 |
| tking0036 | I need to replace & with & | 00:45 |
| overdub | sed -e 's:\&:\&:g' | 00:46 |
| Thalheim | overdub, does it make a difference to use slashes versus colons? | 00:47 |
| tking0036 | overdub: thank you so fuckingmuch | 00:47 |
| overdub | you may use any non meta character as delimiter | 00:47 |
| Thalheim | learned something new | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | !language | tking0036 | 00:47 |
| ubottu | tking0036: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 00:47 |
| tking0036 | that worked | 00:47 |
| overdub | Thalheim, have had that feeling in IRC many times myself :) | 00:48 |
| ausxxh | wilee-nilee: thanks. it's time to get a 'recovery' mode for linux... | 00:49 |
| ausxxh | we should be able to roll back if a update messed things up | 00:50 |
| ausxxh | just the system stuff, not user data, | 00:50 |
| mae_tae | i want to install SVN but no idea, is there any web equivalent for that? do you know some good website where I can start on | 00:51 |
| wilee-nilee | ausxxh, You can if you know what your doing, there are no hand holding apps, that's the point. | 00:51 |
| tking0036 | what does the g mean in sed | 00:52 |
| gram-negative | Is there a way to make a customized boot-usb for ubuntu? As in I boot off of it and all of my settings are already there? | 00:53 |
| itaylor57 | g = global | 00:53 |
| itaylor57 | i.e. do the substitution on all occurances | 00:54 |
| tking0036 | how could I apply that to a script | 00:55 |
| tking0036 | like to a string | 00:56 |
| Thalheim | you mean, run it on a physical script or make it into a script? | 00:58 |

| Richhh | using wubi installer, stuck on 2/5 dots "Preparing to run ubuntu for the first time..." for ~1 hour now, fans are noisy so its hard to differentiate any hdd sounds, don't think there's a hdd light to check either, doesn't respond to ctrl+alt f1...f4 or s or enter, rebooted, following http://askubuntu.com/questions/127358/ubuntu-freezes-running-the-first-time did step 1, except ctrl+x didnt do anything | 01:38 |
| Wheez | Ubuntu dropped Wubi after 12.04 because it had so many problems | 01:39 |
| Richhh | shall i just switch the PC off to reboot then continue to step 2? | 01:39 |
| cfhowlett | Richhh, wubi is for testing ubuntu, not for long term installation. If you're only testing, you might find it easier to do so in Virtualbox. | 01:39 |
| Wheez | Or a bootable disk or USB drive | 01:39 |
| Richhh | bootable DVD was not detected for some reason | 01:40 |
| Richhh | bootable USB not supported by bios apparently | 01:40 |

| Wheez | There is a difference between dual boot and wubi Richhh | 01:41 |
| Richhh | ok | 01:41 |
| cfhowlett | Richhh, I take it this is an older machine? it'll probably enjoy lubuntu or xubuntu more. both are optimized for older/lower spec devices | 01:41 |
| Thalheim | by the way, lubuntu core is REALLY fast to boot. | 01:42 |
| Thalheim | i have it running on some servers for that reason | 01:42 |
| weasel00 | suacy upgrade hosed my mediawiki apache conf file. any pointers on the correct settings? tried google to no avail :/ | 01:42 |
| cfhowlett | Thalheim, I see your lubuntu and raise you that xubuntu is the foundation of Ubuntustudio ... | 01:42 |
| FesterJester | I am trying to take the output from shred and use it in YAD or Zenity | 01:43 |
| Thalheim | i'm calling your bluff* | 01:43 |
| cfhowlett | :) | 01:43 |
| Thalheim | no. joking | 01:43 |
| Thalheim | fold | 01:43 |
| cfhowlett | Thalheim, we both win! | 01:43 |
| Richhh | yeah cfhowlett | 01:43 |
| FesterJester | anyone familiar with zenity or yad? | 01:44 |
| cfhowlett | FesterJester, never heard of them on this channel. If they're apps you might find more support on their specific sites. | 01:45 |
| Richhh | so now i know not to use wubi do i need to uninstall whatever it has installed? | 01:47 |

| jack01111 | im on usb wifi...cant even connect to the net.. | 02:15 |
| wilee-nilee | jack01111, The usb wifi did not work in the live environment? | 02:16 |
| moderx | you might need to be wired to get thet wireless driver | 02:16 |
| jack01111 | sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt, after installation there was a single instance the gui pops out , but no wifi and then black screen | 02:16 |
| moderx | weird | 02:16 |

| moderx | do you get the splash | 02:18 |
| wilee-nilee | jack01111, Did the computer come with an OS, and does it get wifi? | 02:18 |
| moderx | like the ubuntu boot up? | 02:18 |
| jack01111 | no the computer does not come with an OS, it gets wifi on the live cd but not all the times, sometimes the drivers work on live sometimes it doesn't | 02:18 |
| jack01111 | im using alfa wireless usb | 02:19 |
| moderx | blah | 02:20 |
| wilee-nilee | jack01111, If you can get to the desktop and open a terminal run lsusb and identify the usb wifi exactly. There are many that plug and work, you might consider getting one they are cheap. | 02:20 |

| wilee-nilee | jack01111, You can get a usb wifi from amazon that will identify working on linux by just plugging it in, and or a local store near you. YOu can just run the command I gave you from a terminal and identify the usb exactly not just the name, that does not really work, hardware has specifics. | 02:24 |
| wylde | jack01111, you could see if there's a local LUG | 02:24 |
| moderx | I got one for 11 dollard | 02:24 |
| moderx | dollars* | 02:24 |
| moderx | you can get cheaper | 02:24 |
| moderx | but mine works fine | 02:25 |
| jack01111 | ok | 02:25 |
| moderx | is there a reason that you cant get wired? | 02:25 |
| moderx | or borrow a cable from a friend? | 02:25 |
| moderx | casue Ubuntu supports stuff pretty well | 02:25 |
| moderx | just yo have to be connected to the internet for the driver | 02:25 |
| moderx | which believe me.... Winbloz can be a nightmare for drivers... | 02:26 |

| Ben64 | !nomodeset | jack01111 | 02:36 |
| ubottu | jack01111: 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 | 02:36 |
| jack01111 | @Ben64 i don't see that try ubuntu screen | 02:36 |
| Ben64 | Guest98919: can you post a screenshot | 02:36 |
| Ben64 | jack01111: did you already install | 02:37 |
| Guest98919 | Ben64: No, because i can't run much Applications | 02:37 |
| Guest98919 | Firefox is on my Desktop, this Way i could enter a Webchat | 02:37 |
| Ben64 | Guest98919: "print screen" key should still take a screenshot, and you can post it using firefox | 02:37 |
| Guest98919 | If i try to access the Applications via PCManFM it just loads and loads... | 02:37 |
| furoido | hav eyou ever experienced Chrome not having titles in the tab? | 02:38 |

| kyle__ | I'm having graphics problems with my ubuntu box since upgrading to 13.10. It's got a Gforce 8400, using the neuvo driver | 02:54 |
| kyle__ | It seems to lock up on _something_ repeiter host does when rendering the preview of what path the print head will take | 02:54 |
| jorian | Before going down the rabbit hole, I was wondering if anyone has had any success using containers to run X11 apps in Ubuntu? | 02:55 |
| kyle__ | jorian: which type? I haven't tried, but it's an interesting idea. | 02:56 |
| jorian | kyle__: Well, I haven't done much research yet. But I was thinking it would be nice to run firefox in an LXC | 02:56 |
| kyle__ | jorian: Out of curisoity, why firefox, or why just firefox? | 02:57 |
| jorian | kyle__: Partly for securirty and partly just to see if I could do it. | 02:57 |
| * kyle__ is porting over some openvz containers to lxc right now | 02:57 | |
| kyle__ | Cool. | 02:57 |
| jorian | kyle__: I don't know very much about them yet. I just found out about them the other day, and I have been getting a little bit excited about them. | 02:58 |

| crocket | I installed 13.10, and ibus is not displayed in the unity panel. | 03:02 |
| matu | alguna chika? | 03:02 |
| crocket | It used to be there in 13.04 | 03:02 |
| crocket | What happened? | 03:02 |
| CrazyZurfer | just updated to 13.10 from 13.04 and now I can't log in.. i mean.. the screen keeps in black after login in. During update, had issues, so I did ppa-purge xorg-"Something" and that fixed the problem, what could it be? | 03:02 |
| kyle__ | CrazyZurfer: What video card? Mostly out of curiosity, more than being able to help. | 03:03 |
| CrazyZurfer | kyle__: Nvidia geforce 650M | 03:03 |
| kyle__ | CrazyZurfer: did you have ssh enabled? Have another system you can ssh in with to see what's going on in the logs? | 03:04 |
| CrazyZurfer | kyle__: I can enter to the console by control + alt + f1 | 03:05 |
| kyle__ | CrazyZurfer: Can you log in using a different wm/de? | 03:06 |
| CrazyZurfer | kyle__: I don't understand what you say.. I can see logs.. tell me where it is and i'll show it to you | 03:07 |
| kyle__ | CrazyZurfer: First check /var/log/Xorg.log.0, since X is still running. See if it crashed or if it thinks X is fine. | 03:07 |
| crocket | oh my | 03:10 |
| crocket | ubuntu is replacing ibus with its own input methods. | 03:10 |
| kyle__ | OK. So, if I shut down my system, go away for the night, come back, it works until something in repeiter host renders, then I get odd graphics corruption and nothing can get GUI back. If I reboot, I get a checkerboard garbage screen. I can repeat with a clean looking boot tomorrow. | 03:12 |
| CrazyZurfer | kyle__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6292722/ | 03:13 |
| kyle__ | It didnt' happen before I upgraded to 13.10, so is that conincidence, and the card is dying, or a driver bug and the card is fine? | 03:13 |
| roxx_ | hi | 03:13 |
| kyle__ | CrazyZurfer: X is fine. Or at least it thinks it's fine. Do you know how to choose a different DE from the login screen? | 03:14 |
| roxx_ | Have a question/problem with umask | 03:14 |
| CrazyZurfer | kyle__: nope | 03:14 |
| kyle__ | CrazyZurfer: I'm going to guess that it's something running on login (remenant from pre-upgrade), that isn't working. | 03:14 |
| kyle__ | Hum. Ok. This is from memory (my ubuntu box is hosed), so give me some leway.... | 03:15 |
| zerodivided | So TF2 runs pretty bad in 13.10. I'm running an HD 5870. Any idea whats up? | 03:15 |
| kyle__ | When you reboot, don't log in right away. Click the little ubuntu icon next to your name, and you should see a drop down. Click on it, and choose gnome for failsafe. Then continue to log in. | 03:16 |
| time1 | helllo everyone, i am using dolphin right now, it is much better than nautilus file browser | 03:16 |
| CrazyZurfer | kyle__: I don't see that option :S | 03:16 |

Since I updated to xubuntu 13.10 (on 3 machines) when I create files or directories locally on a machine the permissions are u+rwx,go+rx instead of ug+rwx,o+rx. This is true both on the command line (bash) and file manager (Thunar). BUT: when I login remotely using ssh, and create files or directories, the permissions seem to work fine, i.e. ug+rwx,o+rx. Is there a bug in xubuntu 13.10 that causes the OS to igno | 03:16 |
| kyle__ | CrazyZurfer: Is there an "other" option? | 03:16 |
| CrazyZurfer | kyle__: I don't see that ubuntu icon | 03:16 |
| time1 | i want to know one thing, the files with big file names are appearing as it as | 03:16 |
| CrazyZurfer | kyle__: nope, I see just the input password, but nothing else.. Down there I can see that it says, "invited Session" | 03:17 |

| time1 | how to do that in dolphin | 03:17 |

| fahadash | kyle__: sudo apt-get install compiz setting manager doesnt give anything | 03:34 |
| kyle__ | fahadash: compiz settings manager is a program to let you turn on and off compiz "stuff". Unity hides most of the stuff from you, so you can't turn it on or off by deafult. | 03:35 |

| 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. | 03:53 |

| roscogruen | lotuspsychje: may i ask this way, do you recommend it for a person completely new to linux and who won't want to figure things out? | 05:37 |
| grimeton | tjj: no route to host can also mean that the port is just not used on the other end (icmp message makes it through) | 05:37 |
| lotuspsychje | roscogruen: because ubuntu is very intuitive to install | 05:37 |
| xmetal | hmm i keep forgetting to install ubuntu on that spare partition | 05:37 |
| tjj | grimeton: It's definitely used on the other end, it's the default port to connect to for that service | 05:37 |
| grimeton | tjj: hm, so you think it's blocked locally? | 05:38 |
| xmetal | ubuntu is one i'd recommed for people new to linux (and many others too :) ) | 05:38 |
| tjj | grimeton: I think so | 05:38 |
| lotuspsychje | roscogruen: and security of your system will be tight | 05:38 |
| zorbsone | xmetal: virtualbox.org? | 05:38 |
| roscogruen | lotuspsychje: yes, i'll agree there. the help irc channel is the best i've seen of any linux. i'll go this way. | 05:38 |
| grimeton | tjj: check you local output chain of iptables | 05:38 |
| tjj | grimeton: How do I do that? | 05:38 |
| lotuspsychje | roscogruen: wise choice! | 05:38 |
| grimeton | tjj: open a root shell and enter iptables -L OUTPUT -vn | 05:38 |
| grimeton | hmm i wonder if there is an app armor setup for the telnet client!? | 05:39 |
| tjj | grimeton: 3 180 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:5000 | 05:39 |
| tjj | grimeton: That line is from when I tried (and failed) to unblock the port | 05:39 |
| grimeton | tjj: yeah you need at least create state, what's the output policy and are there other chains involved? | 05:39 |
| roscogruen | any recommendation on the type or flavor? want lightweight and no heavy whistles. i liked lubuntu but it didn't seem faster than the vanilla flavor of ubuntu | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | roscogruen: what is the system you want to install to? | 05:40 |
| grimeton | tjj: something like iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 5000 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT | 05:40 |
| roscogruen | i don't know what he has yet. | 05:40 |
| tjj | grimeton: I ran that command but get the same no route to host | 05:40 |
| roscogruen | my computer needs to restart. bbl. thank you lotuspsychje | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | roscogruen: if its a new laptop/desktop plain ubuntu will do fine | 05:40 |
| grimeton | tjj: what about a filter on your firewall? | 05:40 |
| tjj | I'm a total iptables newbie, I honestly don't even know what policies / chains are | 05:41 |
| grimeton | tjj: when you to a iptables -L OUTPUT -vn the first line in the output holds a policy | 05:41 |
| grimeton | tjj: something like Chain OUTPUT blabla POLICY | 05:41 |
| tjj | grimeton: I suppose it's possible, but I can use bittorrent on nonstandard ports. The only other thing that could be blocking me would be my router and I don't think it has any firewall restrictions | 05:41 |
| tjj | grimeton: iptables -L OUTPUT -vn now shows: 1 60 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:5000 state NEW | 05:42 |

| tjj | grimeton: 00:44:02.138769 IP 10.8.0.1 > 192.168.1.3: ICMP host 69.36.243.188 unreachable - admin prohibited filter, length 36 | 05:44 |
| tjj | 192.168.1.3 is my local ip | 05:44 |
| grimeton | tjj: so there is a filter ... | 05:44 |
| grimeton | tjj: either by 10.8.0.1 intercepting or by 69.36.243.188 | 05:44 |
| tjj | grimeton: A local filter on my box or a filter at some other point in the network? | 05:44 |
| grimeton | tjj: some other point in the network | 05:45 |
| tjj | hmmm | 05:45 |
| grimeton | if it is locally you wouldn't see an icmp message from the network | 05:45 |
| ripthejacker | how to check If I am using DDR1 or DDR2 RAM? | 05:46 |
| grimeton | ripthejacker: open the box and check the hardware | 05:46 |

| Bauer | thanks reisio, wasnt able to make their tar.gz work via ssh, will try again when I get home | 05:47 |
| ripthejacker | grimeton: Isn't there any way I can check without opening? | 05:47 |
| DoYouKnow | hi. I tried a day or two ago to connect to a CentOS box using a different graphics card and stream OpenGL apps over ssh | 05:47 |
| grimeton | ripthejacker: dmidecode would be another way | 05:47 |
| ripthejacker | I tried to use dmidecode, but it shows type as unknown | 05:47 |
| DoYouKnow | how mcuh bandwidth does this require and is it possible? | 05:47 |
| grimeton | DoYouKnow: real time video with opengl requires gigabits network at least | 05:48 |
| Bauer | but what if I want to do a normal install? and fix the missing lib? why not fix it reisio? which package can I install for that lib32asound2 on Saucy? | 05:48 |
| grimeton | DoYouKnow: and i don't think that would be enough | 05:48 |
| grimeton | ripthejacker: then you're pretty much lost i guess | 05:48 |
| ripthejacker | grimeton: Ok thanks | 05:49 |
| Bauer | or is it a good idea to issue dpk --force on the teamviewer .deb file? | 05:49 |
| grimeton | ripthejacker: did you run dmidecode --type 17 ? | 05:49 |
| Bauer | to force the issue | 05:49 |
| grimeton | Bauer: no | 05:49 |
| ripthejacker | grimeton: yes | 05:49 |
| grimeton | Bauer: --force isn't a solution, it's always a problem | 05:49 |
| ripthejacker | grimeton: also dmidecode --type memory | 05:49 |
| grimeton | ripthejacker: that's not nice | 05:49 |
| DoYouKnow | grimeton, how is it usually done? | 05:49 |
| ripthejacker | grimeton: why? | 05:50 |
| DoYouKnow | grimeton, I am referring to using ssh -X | 05:50 |
| grimeton | DoYouKnow: what? transfering real time video with opengl? bad idea imho | 05:50 |
| grimeton | ripthejacker: because that somehow means that your bios doesn't know what's going on | 05:50 |
| DoYouKnow | how do I view an OpenGL app remotely grimeton ? | 05:50 |
| grimeton | DoYouKnow: don't think that's possible - imho | 05:50 |
| grimeton | same goes for memory overlays in X | 05:50 |
| ripthejacker | grimeton: so it means , the pc has a low quality motherboard? | 05:51 |
| grimeton | ripthejacker: don't know, but at least it means the bios is not able to provide the memory type | 05:51 |
| reisio | Bauer: I doubt you'd have a problem with force, it would of course be a kludge :) | 05:51 |
| Bauer | reisio: like you said, I dont need audio :P as long as it wont break the system or something? | 05:52 |
| grimeton | Bauer: isn't there a tar ball that one can install to /opt or something? | 05:53 |
| Ben64 | Bauer: what are you trying to accomplish | 05:53 |
| Bauer | Ben64: trying to re-install teamviewer after the succesful upgrade to Saucy | 05:53 |
| Ben64 | Bauer: well did you fix all your apt problems first | 05:54 |
| Bauer | grimeton: the tarball does not seem to work propely via ssh, perhaps it will work when I am logged in X and run it... | 05:54 |
| Bauer | yes Ben64, no broken dependencies anymore :) but now teamviewer .deb file requires lib32asound2 in order to install | 05:54 |
| grimeton | Bauer: hmm | 05:55 |
| roscogruen | could someone give me a means to determine whether i've a 32 or 64bit box? | 05:55 |
| Ben64 | Bauer: why even use teamviewer? vnc works better | 05:55 |
| grimeton | roscogruen: uname -a | 05:55 |
| Ben64 | roscogruen: "uname -m" will tell you what the os currently is, not what your hardware is | 05:55 |
| Bauer | Ben64: I find teamviewer much simpler to use for other people, and especially when having two screens.. I tried setting up VNC to work, and it was pain.. I didnt get it to work properly and simply | 05:56 |
| Ben64 | Bauer: and you've been trying to get teamviewer to work for at least a day :) | 05:56 |
| Bauer | it requires to define the screens with :0, :1 etc... didnt work for me | 05:56 |
| Bauer | Ben64: it worked perfectly on 13.04 :P | 05:57 |
| grimeton | Bauer: you got a x64 box there? | 05:57 |
| Bauer | yes grimeton | 05:57 |
| roscogruen | does "x86_64 tell me 64bit is the version i want? | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | anyway, that library you want is in the repositories, don't install via thz | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | tgz* | 05:57 |
| reisio | roscogruen: where? | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | roscogruen: if thats what the command returned that means you're running 64 bit right now | 05:57 |
| Bauer | Ben64: do you refer to the lib32asound2? | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | Bauer: yes | 05:57 |
| roscogruen | okay | 05:57 |
| Bauer | Ben64: I tried, but it says Package lib32asound2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. aaand in the end it says: E: Package 'lib32asound2' has no installation candidate | 05:58 |
| roscogruen | is there a simple command to or way to blank and burn this iso to a usb stick to use an install device? | 05:58 |
| chris11 | hey, I just ran ls and got a file in red text, what exactly does that mean? | 05:59 |
| marek_ | re | 05:59 |
| grimeton | Bauer: gimme 5 minutes | 05:59 |
| Ben64 | chris11: its red. we'll need more info from you to be sure | 05:59 |
| Ben64 | Bauer: try libasound2:i386 | 06:00 |
| ripthejacker | grimeton: I gotit, I just checked for the motherboard info and looked online for the details. | 06:00 |
| lapion | I do not know if this is a problem in the ubuntu installer as well, but It cannot seem to make a btrfs volume. | 06:00 |
| lapion | in the ubuntu-gnome | 06:00 |
| Bauer | Ben64: libasound2:i386 is already the newest version. and: libasound2:i386 set to manually installed. | 06:01 |
| grimeton | Bauer: got it | 06:01 |
| chris11 | It's ubuntu 12.10 server edition, I tried to get a file via ftp and it hun on Opening binary Connection. When I then ran ls, that file that I tried to get is in red. I'm guessing the space is resevered, but it isn't valid? | 06:01 |
| grimeton | Bauer: fix your dependency problems and remove teamviewer, tell me when you're done | 06:01 |
| rrm | anyone has an idea when next lts comes out | 06:01 |
| Bauer | grimeton: done - 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded. | 06:02 |
| k1l | rrm: !trusty | 06:02 |
| grimeton | Bauer: now enable multiarch: dpkg --add-architecture i386 | 06:02 |
| grimeton | Bauer: then run apt-get update | 06:02 |
| k1l | !trusty | rrm | 06:02 |
| ubottu | rrm: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. | 06:02 |
| cfhowlett | !trusty | 06:02 |
| cfhowlett | rrm, April 2014 | 06:02 |
| grimeton | Bauer: got that? | 06:03 |
| Ben64 | chris11: pastebin "ls -l /the/file" | 06:03 |
| Bauer | yes grimeton | 06:03 |
| grimeton | Bauer: download the 32bit / multiarch debian package: http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb | 06:03 |
| grimeton | Bauer: then install it and see errors: dpkg --install teamviewer_linux.deb | 06:03 |
| rrm | cfhowlett, thank you, hope the unity will be a bit more fluid then in this current lts | 06:03 |
| grimeton | Bauer: then run apt-get -f install and see all necessary libs installed including teamviewer | 06:03 |
| Ben64 | chris11: and if you're on 12.10, you'd better hurry up and upgrade, you got 2 upgrades to do before February | 06:04 |
| crocket | I hate text entry. | 06:04 |
| crocket | It doesn't accept "Hangul" key as a shortcut for switching to the next input source. | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | rrm, consider the lxde/kde/xfce4 options: lubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu | 06:04 |
| reisio | crocket: you must like inefficiency, then :) | 06:04 |
| reisio | oh you hate that it is malfunctioning :) | 06:04 |

| crocket | reisio, ibus is much better than "Text Entry" that replaced ibus. | 06:05 |
| reisio | so use ibus | 06:05 |
| Bauer | works!!! thanks grimeton :))) | 06:05 |
| grimeton | Bauer: you're welcome | 06:06 |
| Bauer | grimeton: should I now remove the architecture in the same way? | 06:06 |
| rrm | cfhowlett, i did, might try xubuntu, lubuntu is just too minimal | 06:06 |
| lotuspsychje | !cookie | grimeton | 06:06 |
| crocket | reisio, Ubuntu 13.10 prevents ibus from appearing on the unity panel. | 06:06 |
| ubottu | grimeton: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 06:06 |
| Ben64 | chris11: probably the file type | 06:06 |
| grimeton | Bauer: no, never remove i386 from the arch list | 06:06 |
| cfhowlett | rrm, xubuntu is the foundation of Ubuntustudio FYI | 06:06 |
| grimeton | Bauer: the lib32 stuff will vanish and multi arch will become the way to go | 06:06 |
| reisio | crocket: that's only a problem if you need Ubuntu 13.10 | 06:06 |
| roscogruen | is there a set of instructions to get iso burned on to a usb stick so it is an install stick? mint has a one line command | 06:06 |
| crocket | reisio, It's obviously a bug or done on purpose. | 06:06 |
| Bauer | grimeton: wont that cause conflicts in installing other packages? wont it begin installing 32 bit packages instead? | 06:07 |
| grimeton | Bauer: if you remove i386 from the arch list you break your dpkg database, so bad idea | 06:07 |
| grimeton | Bauer: it only installs 32bit packages if you ask it to by adding :i386 at the end of the package name | 06:07 |
| grimeton | Bauer: i386 is a foreign arch, so it's not used for your system | 06:07 |
| grimeton | Bauer: dpkg --print-foreign-architectures | 06:08 |
| chris11 | oh, thanks Ben64. I thought the coloring signifyied some error message. | 06:08 |
| Bauer | awsesome, thanks for explanation :) | 06:08 |
| grimeton | Bauer: you're welcome | 06:09 |
| reisio | crocket: probably just a bug | 06:09 |
| reisio | crocket: it might even be listed as one already | 06:09 |
| roscogruen | lotuspsychje: are you still there? | 06:09 |
| crocket | reisio, It was added as a bug years ago | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | who know the usbinstaller trigger for roscogruen ? | 06:09 |
| crocket | Now the bug is universal in 13.10 | 06:09 |

| lotuspsychje | !info capbale | urterror | 06:13 |
| ubottu | urterror: Package capbale does not exist in saucy | 06:13 |
| reisio | urterror: of the package? | 06:13 |
| reisio | urterror: 'ntop' | 06:13 |
| reisio | 'get capbale' is was not to you | 06:14 |
| reisio | and was a typo for 'get capable' | 06:14 |
| reisio | 'cause this keyboard is awful | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | :p | 06:14 |
| grimeton | urterror: in the console use iptraf-ng | 06:14 |
| grimeton | urterror: for a bit colored nice-looky use darkstat | 06:14 |
| urterror | grimeton: it says resource or device busy when I sudo darkstat -i wlan0 | 06:18 |
| grimeton | urterror: darkstat is a daemon providing a web interface | 06:19 |
| urterror | I editated /etc/darkstat config file | 06:19 |
| grimeton | urterror: you have to configure it and then start the daemon | 06:19 |
| urterror | I'm on ubuntu server | 06:19 |
| grimeton | urterror: did you restart the service after you modified the config? | 06:20 |
| urterror | grimeton: it wouldn't even load | 06:20 |
| urterror | grimeton: it will say device is busy | 06:20 |
| grimeton | urterror: huh? | 06:20 |
| grimeton | urterror: ps auxw | grep -i darkstat | 06:20 |
| roscogruen | i am curious of something. i don't see an indication of moderators. is this so? | 06:21 |
| lotuspsychje | roscogruen: mods grant status when needed | 06:22 |
| grimeton | roscogruen: figure it out ;) | 06:22 |
| urterror | grimeton: it gives me a line | 06:22 |
| grimeton | urterror: is there a darkstat running? | 06:22 |
| lotuspsychje | roscogruen: do you need an op? | 06:22 |
| urterror | grimeton: there is a line saying darkstat | 06:22 |
| limpc | hi guys. | 06:22 |
| grimeton | urterror: that's not enough info | 06:22 |
| lotuspsychje | limpc: welcome mate, what can we do for you? | 06:23 |
| zorbsone | limpc: hello | 06:23 |
| urterror | grimeton: the line is mentioning my username | 06:23 |
| limpc | trying to install ubuntu 13.10 as a dual boot alongside my win7 partition. but during ubuntu install, it doesnt recognize my win7 partition (win7 is a fresh install as well, boots fine). googling around suggested I check gparted, which detects the partitions s invalid gpt tables. | 06:23 |
| grimeton | urterror: is it also mentioning grep? | 06:24 |
| limpc | I tried the suggested fix (chkdsk /f on windows boot) but that did not fix the problem | 06:24 |
| Ben64 | limpc: windows does weird stuff with gpt | 06:24 |
| urterror | grimeton: it says grep -i darkstat | 06:24 |
| grimeton | urterror: then darkstat isn't running | 06:24 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest1253 | ||
| grimeton | urterror: but i wonder which device is busy | 06:24 |
| limpc | Ben64: yeah i noticed. do you know how to get around this problem? | 06:24 |
| grimeton | urterror: can you pastebin your config somewhere? like pastebin.com ? | 06:24 |
| urterror | grimeton: I don't have a web broswer here | 06:25 |
| Ben64 | limpc: either don't use gpt, or partition using gparted before installing windows | 06:25 |
| lotuspsychje | limpc: a great choice would be loose windows once and for good | 06:25 |
| urterror | grimeton: I have either eth0 or wlan0 and none of those are mentioned | 06:25 |
| Ben64 | lotuspsychje: lose* | 06:25 |
| roscogruen | lotuspsychje: i don't need an op. just curious and noticing how more smoothly things are running compared to four years ago | 06:25 |
| limpc | lotuspsychje: i run linux for my primary systems. but this is a work laptop and they have software that can only run on windows. so i need it to dual boot. | 06:25 |
| limpc | Ben64: is there no way to fix the current windows partition without losing it? it has some licensed software on it that would be very difficult to reinstall | 06:26 |
| lotuspsychje | limpc: what kind of software is it, if i may know? | 06:26 |
| grimeton | limpc: run linux or windows in a vm | 06:26 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| limpc | lotuspsychje: its analytic software by Logi | 06:26 |
| limpc | its a pain because it has IIS/SQL Server integration | 06:27 |
| Ben64 | limpc: backup? | 06:27 |
| limpc | so theres absolutely no way to save the partition? | 06:27 |
| grimeton | limpc: sure, just install ubuntu around it | 06:28 |
| grimeton | limpc: in the free area behind winodow | 06:28 |
| lotuspsychje | limpc: did you choose install along windows during setup, or did setup not see the win partition? | 06:28 |
| Ben64 | limpc: i haven't seen a way yet | 06:28 |
| limpc | setup is not seeing the win partition. it displays a single, unused 1tb drive | 06:28 |
| limpc | the win partition is about 600gb | 06:29 |
| Ari-Yang | how come when I attempt to split a file into .rar parts it doesn't complete? | 06:29 |
| grimeton | limpc: that's weird, the partition should be visible in the partition table | 06:29 |
| Ben64 | grimeton: windows' gpt doesn't jive with linux | 06:29 |
| fahadash | I have a baseline ubuntu install, hardly installed anything on it and its eating up all my 5GB harddrive space why ? | 06:29 |
| grimeton | urterror: then do the following: cat /etc/darkstat/init.cfg | curl -F 'sprunge-<=' http://sprunge.us and give me the url | 06:29 |
| Ari-Yang | I'm using compress (and tried running file-roller in terminal), and I just can't get a file to split. running on ubuntu 12.10 | 06:29 |
| grimeton | Ben64: there is a partition table and the windows partition is in this partition table - and linux should see the partition independent of what is inside it | 06:30 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: you've got about 3 months to upgrade to 13.10 or lose support | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: 5 gig is a bit low for an ubuntu install | 06:30 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64: that doesn't answer my question, thanks | 06:30 |
| grimeton | urterror: eeer cat /etc/darkstat/init.cfg | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 06:30 |
| fahadash | lotuspsychje: Whats the minimum space requirement for ubuntu ? | 06:31 |
| limpc | grimeton: it detects that the partition is there, but complains that its gpt table is corrupted. | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: ok, the answer to your question is read the man pages | 06:31 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64: afaik ubuntu 12.10 will be supported 'til April 2014 or something | 06:31 |
| lotuspsychje | Ari-Yang: did you install 'rar' | 06:31 |
| Ari-Yang | lotuspsychje: aye, I did | 06:31 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64: I have thanks | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: but 13.04's support ends january | 06:31 |
| malinus | Ben64, what about 13.10? | 06:31 |
| grimeton | limpc: eww, but you're sure that the part table is fine? what part table does it detect? the gpt one or the older one? | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | malinator: july | 06:31 |
| limpc | grimeton: yes, it can boot into windows just fine. | 06:31 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | grimeton: again, windows' gpt does not work with linux | 06:32 |
| ObrienDave | malinus... 9 months is the new life cycle for non-LTSs | 06:32 |
| grimeton | limpc: but it's still weird ... | 06:32 |
| limpc | grimeton: theres only 1 partition on it, the windows partition, and a chunk of unallocated space. it detects the windows partition as an invalid GPT | 06:33 |
| lotuspsychje | anyone knows the trigger for that system requierment? | 06:33 |
| grimeton | limpc: does it say that the partition it self is invalid or that the partition table is invalid? | 06:33 |
| urterror | grimeton: ok will do | 06:33 |
| Ari-Yang | [02:31:24] <Ben64> Ari-Yang: but 13.04's support ends january ---> I suggest you check yourself before telling people to upgrade: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 06:33 |
| fahadash | What are the places to clean up the files from to get some disk space freed ? | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Ari-Yang: how about that 7zip package might help you? | 06:34 |
| limpc | grimeton: "/dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. " | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: that says 13.04's support ends january, so i'm right, thanks! | 06:34 |
| fahadash | Is there any application to do disk cleanup ? | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: firefox cache might clean alot! | 06:34 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64: I wasn't referring to that, I'm referring to 12.10, don't run away from your error | 06:34 |
| grimeton | limpc: that doesn't mean that it is broken - it's just missing the space at the beginning that holds a fake partition table for older systems | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: ubuntu-tweak can clean alot of old stuff aswell | 06:34 |
| Ari-Yang | lotuspsychje: wasn't aware that 7zip is available for ubuntu, I'll look into it, thanks | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: its not an error, upgrading to something thats EOL will not be a happy experience | 06:34 |
| ObrienDave | 12.10 is on the old cycle, 18 months | 06:34 |
| limpc | grimeton: yeah. its also stopping ubuntu 13.10 from seeing the windows partition or being able to install around it. | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Ari-Yang: not sure whats it called again | 06:35 |
| fahadash | How do I remove compiz ? | 06:35 |
| fahadash | compiz might be eating space | 06:35 |
| urterror | grimeton: I deleted the init.cfg file how do I recreate it | 06:35 |
| gdrg | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFXlX2hAw2o ROFL | 06:35 |
| grimeton | urterror: uargh, dpkg --purge darkstat and then reinstall it | 06:35 |
| lotuspsychje | !info p7zip | Ari-Yang | 06:35 |
| ubottu | Ari-Yang: p7zip (source: p7zip): 7z file archiver with high compression ratio. In component universe, is optional. Version 9.20.1~dfsg.1-4 (saucy), package size 371 kB, installed size 979 kB | 06:35 |
| Ben64 | gdrg: don't spam here | 06:36 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64: you don't know my plans and whether I'm going to upgrade or not | 06:36 |
| Ari-Yang | lotuspsychje: thanks, I'll look into it | 06:36 |
| malinus | when I'm sshing into my mediaserver I get the "7 packages can be updated. \n 7 updates are security updates." . When I then run upgrade, I get "The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic \n 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.". Any ideas? | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: i would not reccomend uninstalling compiz | 06:36 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: i'm letting you know before you get into a position where you can't upgrade | 06:36 |
| grimeton | limpc: an fdisk -l /dev/sda and an gdisk -l /dev/sda would be very helpful at the moment | 06:36 |
| fahadash | lotuspsychje: Can I keep compiz and ubuntu-tweak both ? | 06:36 |
| grimeton | limpc: to see what's going on | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: if you want ubuntu on low space hd, install lubuntu | 06:36 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64: there are other ways of upgrading other than using software-updater~ | 06:36 |
| Ari-Yang | ^__^ | 06:36 |
| cfhowlett | malinus, relax. just means some packages have been upgraded yet. Once ready, those downloads will drop | 06:37 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: not if you want to come here for support | 06:37 |
| malinus | cfhowlett, why are they held back though? | 06:37 |
| fahadash | Where are temp files stored when software manager downloads the stuff ? | 06:37 |
| cfhowlett | malinator, there are THOUSANDS of packages to update. | 06:37 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64: your response to what I just said doesn't make any sense .__. You're just going around in a circle, done having this discussion with you~ | 06:38 |
| malinus | cfhowlett, yeah? | 06:38 |
| limpc | grimeton: what info do you want from fdisk -l? | 06:38 |
| grimeton | limpc: the complete output | 06:38 |
| limpc | im on a livecd boot so i dont have gdisk | 06:38 |
| malinus | cfhowlett, Iø | 06:38 |
| malinus | cfhowlett, *I'm really not following you here | 06:38 |
| grimeton | limpc: can't you install it? | 06:38 |
| Ben64 | Ari-Yang: don't complain here when you can't upgrade then | 06:38 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: ubuntu has a default 'disk usage' icon to findout | 06:38 |
| cfhowlett | malinus when ALL are ready, you get the goods. Otherwise your system might break. So they're temporarily held. I just had that last week with new kernels. This week, they loaded. | 06:38 |
| fahadash | what would be the apt-get command to uninstall skype ? | 06:38 |
| cfhowlett | fahadash, sudo apt-get purge skype | 06:38 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: are you actually gonna try all you ask? | 06:39 |
| Ari-Yang | Ben64: >assuming I can't upgrade | 06:39 |
| fahadash | Yes | 06:39 |
| limpc | grimeton: pastebin.com/ShF2z0KA | 06:39 |
| malinus | how would I check, which additional repositores I haved added (with the apt-get-add) | 06:39 |
| cfhowlett | malinus thousands of lines of code, thousands of verifications to be done and MOSTLY by volunteers ... | 06:39 |
| fahadash | Doing it as I get answers | 06:39 |
| malinus | cfhowlett, okay, I'm with ya. thanks. | 06:40 |
| cfhowlett | malinus, best of luck | 06:40 |
| grimeton | limpc: this is a weird output | 06:40 |
| fahadash | It says / is taking 3.7 GB of space, but disk shows only 198 MB free. Total Disk is 5 GB | 06:40 |
| limpc | grimeton: gdisk says "found invalid mbr and gpt." | 06:40 |
| Ari-Yang | lotuspsychje: so with pzip, I should be able to make RAR files, yes? | 06:41 |
| grimeton | limpc: yeah, because the first partition should be with id EE | 06:41 |
| fahadash | /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu is taking 226 MB, Do I need it ? | 06:41 |
| grimeton | limpc: that's the weird thing | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Ari-Yang: that p7zip can do alot of stuff | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | fahadash: don't go around deleting random stuff, you're going to break your system | 06:42 |
| fahadash | :( | 06:42 |
| Ari-Yang | lotuspsychje: just apt-cache search p7zip and noticed p7zip-rar - non-free rar module for p7zip - hope that doesn't mean I can't make RAR files for free :S | 06:42 |
| fahadash | What would be the apt-get command to uninstall libreoffice ? | 06:42 |
| Ari-Yang | fahadash: sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | fahadash: search for it in the software center and remove it there | 06:42 |
| ObrienDave | Ari-Yang... non-free means the code is not FOSS | 06:42 |
| limpc | grimeton: EE? | 06:43 |
| Ari-Yang | ObrienDave: oh, I see | 06:43 |
| grimeton | limpc: yeah, GPT protective partition | 06:43 |
| fahadash | Uninstall failed: Error in function: | 06:44 |

| ObrienDave | dang typos | 06:45 |
| urterror | grimeton: http://sprunge.us/cyyi | 06:45 |
| urterror | can you read info on there | 06:45 |
| grimeton | urterror: that url isn't valid | 06:45 |
| lotuspsychje | limpc: wine and playonlinux might help you | 06:46 |
| killer | hey , is there a way I can rollback ubuntu to a particular time | 06:46 |
| limpc | grimeton: "On MBR disks, type 0x27. On GPT disks, GUID: DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC. A hidden version of a Windows RE type 0x7 partition with NTFS." | 06:47 |
| limpc | these partitions are both 0x7 | 06:47 |
| lotuspsychje | killer: you can make backups with dejadup | 06:47 |
| grimeton | limpc: hm, strange | 06:47 |
| urterror | grimeton: that's the output | 06:47 |
| ObrienDave | killer... not like Windows system restore, no | 06:47 |
| grimeton | urterror: sprunge.us can't find the paste under cyyi - sure there isn't any kind of typo? | 06:47 |
| killer | actually I was chrooting in ubuntu image , but eventually soething crazy happened and my mouse of the current installation stopped working | 06:48 |
| Ari-Yang | lotuspsychje: do I have to re-install archive manager/file-roller to be able to make RAR files after installing p7zip? | 06:52 |
| fahadash | Now I got some space freed up to install gnome | 06:52 |
| reisio | Ari-Yang: file-roller probably assumes unrar for that | 06:53 |
| Ari-Yang | I installed p7zip, p7zip-rar, and p7zip-full | 06:53 |
| fahadash | But installing through Software Center gives me this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/364874/cannot-install-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-4-lts-getting-404-on-a-deb-package | 06:53 |
| reisio | p7zip-rar probably only helps p7zip with rar | 06:53 |
| reisio | Ari-Yang: but no, either way if file-roller can find the unrar executable it wants, you won't have to re-install it | 06:53 |
| Ari-Yang | reisio: well I still can't split this file into multiple RAR parts :s | 06:54 |

| foofoobar | There is no such line like "system-ca-certs=true" like it is suggested in the solution | 06:54 |
| foofoobar | any ideas what I can do ? | 06:54 |
| reisio | Ari-Yang: sounds like something not worth doing anyways | 06:54 |
| reisio | Ari-Yang: other archive formats can be split, they can compress more, and do it more efficiently and at less cost | 06:55 |

| jack01111 | how do i use ubuntu to burn iso for windows 7 usb stick (uefi bootable) | 06:55 |
| lotuspsychje | !usb | jack01111 | 06:55 |
| ubottu | jack01111: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 06:55 |
| fahadash | What would be the package name for apt-ing ubuntu-tweak ? | 06:55 |
| Ben64 | jack01111: eh, that sounds more like a ##windows question | 06:56 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: you need to add a ppa from their website, want url? | 06:56 |
| Ben64 | !ubuntutweak | fahadash | 06:56 |
| ubottu | fahadash: Ubuntu Tweak is a tool that automates some things; however, it is potentially dangerous, and an informal review of its code is pending. Most of the things it does can be done by the use of other tools. Please don't ask for or provide support for it in Ubuntu support channels. | 06:56 |
| reisio | jack01111: http://serverfault.com/questions/6714/how-to-make-windows-7-usb-flash-install-media-from-linux#answer-167060 | 06:56 |
| roscogruen | using unetbootin to create a usb startup disk. it doesn't recognize the stick i've in it and suggests reformatting. i'm lost. | 06:57 |
| k1l | fahadash: ubuntu-tweak is a 3rd party. | 06:57 |
| fahadash | I just need ubuntu-tweak to help me manage the hard drive space.. Any other tool recommendation ? | 06:57 |
| lotuspsychje | well i never had any issue with ubunt-tweak | 06:57 |
| ObrienDave | roscogruen... so, reformat the stick. easy peasy | 06:57 |
| Ben64 | fahadash: you don't need it for that. you need more hard drive space really | 06:57 |
| reisio | roscogruen: do you have another stick you can try? | 06:58 |
| k1l | fahadash: what? there are alot of better ways to handle that than the ubuntu-tweak stuff | 06:58 |
| roscogruen | shouldn't i get something when i type, "fdisk -l" in terminal? | 06:58 |
| urterror | grimeton: I'm sure there is no type | 06:58 |
| urterror | typo | 06:58 |
| reisio | roscogruen: sudo | 06:58 |
| roscogruen | oh | 06:58 |
| reisio | you should get something, but on some systems you will get nothing at all, because those systems are silly | 06:58 |
| fahadash | The reason I moved away from windows was that windows was a hog who never had enough hard drive space and memory and processing power... | 06:58 |
| reisio | it should spit out an error if it requires root, it shouldn't just return nothing | 06:58 |
| urterror | grimeton: try yiov now | 06:58 |
| lotuspsychje | fahadash: 5gig is really low for ubuntu, go for lubuntu | 06:59 |
| k1l | fahadash: what do you actually want to do? | 06:59 |
| urterror | grimeton: that's the url cat gives me | 06:59 |
| ObrienDave | dang, new kernel. brb | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | k1l: he's uninstalling packages to free space from hi 5gig hd | 06:59 |
| Ben64 | urterror: case does matter | 07:00 |
| fahadash | k1l: I am just running a baseline ubuntu on a VM to try out stuff... Have not installed anything yet but it is taking 4.5 gigs already | 07:00 |
| k1l | lotuspsychje: ah | 07:00 |
| reisio | fahadash: that's at least 66% less than Windows 7 | 07:00 |
| urterror | Ben64: lol what? is a url | 07:00 |
| reisio | so no need to bring that up again | 07:00 |
| fahadash | I am sure Baseline Windows7 would need less than 5 GB, why not ubuntu then ? | 07:00 |
| reisio | fahadash: nope, it needs around 15GB | 07:00 |
| Ben64 | urterror: so? | 07:00 |
| reisio | but won't actually install unless it sees 20 | 07:00 |
| urterror | Ben64: the browser won't care | 07:00 |
| k1l | fahadash: if you want a really small system install the minimal install and then just install that packages you need. but that is recommended to advanced users | 07:00 |
| roscogruen | what is url to post a screenshot? | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | urterror: it does in fact, care | 07:01 |
| reisio | roscogruen: http://imgur.com/ | 07:01 |

I used to have external media mounted to my home directory, apparently the mount was poorly configured and none of the data went into the external hdd. Now I have gigs worth of material hogging up my internal HDD but I can't find it! Can anyone lend me hand? | 07:01 |
| k1l | fahadash: you dont get windows with that less disk space reauirements | 07:01 |
| urterror | Ben64: I'm sure it doesn't matter | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | urterror: well you're wrong | 07:01 |
| urterror | Ben64: like an email address | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | no, its not. you're wrong. case matters. | 07:01 |
| reisio | haider254: baobab | 07:02 |
| grimeton | urterror: doesn't work either | 07:02 |
| Ben64 | grimeton: yeah it does | 07:02 |
| grimeton | Ben64: gimme an url | 07:03 |
| Ben64 | http://sprunge.us/YIOV | 07:03 |
| urterror | grimeton: I'm not doing anything wrong I dont't think... when I type the command wrong it doesn't give me a url | 07:03 |
| roscogruen | reisio: do i need to register w/ that site? | 07:03 |
| haider254 | reisio: looks interesting, however I only have a command line connection to the problem pc atm... | 07:03 |
| grimeton | Ben64: aaah, upper case | 07:03 |
| Ben64 | grimeton: see, case does matter | 07:03 |
| reisio | roscogruen: not last I checked, no | 07:03 |
| grimeton | urterror: uncomment the lines with DIR and PORT | 07:04 |
| grimeton | urterror: then restart darkstat | 07:04 |
| grimeton | Ben64: don't tell me | 07:04 |
| reisio | haider254: find / -size +1G -exec du -hs {} \; | sort -h | 07:04 |
| roscogruen | i posted it several times. how do i get url for it? | 07:04 |
| haider254 | reisio: will give it a go | 07:04 |
| reisio | haider254: or try ncdu | 07:05 |
| urterror | grimeton: by restart darkstat you mean run sudo darkstat -i wlan0? | 07:05 |
| crocket | yo | 07:05 |
| grimeton | urterror: sudo service darkstat restart | 07:06 |
| haider254 | reisio: running the command now, will look into ncdu. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! | 07:06 |
| killer | Ubuntu is working normal except mouse stopped working suddenly when i broke something while chrooting in another systemm | 07:08 |
| urterror | grimeton: same error it says getaddrinfo null 667 failed name or service not known: device or resource busy | 07:08 |
| urterror | I think I'll call it over | 07:08 |
| grimeton | urterror: is there something running on port 666? | 07:09 |
| urterror | grimeton: I dontknow | 07:10 |
| grimeton | urterror: sounds like there is... netstat -anp | grep -i 666 | 07:10 |
| ObrienDave | killer... unplug and plug back in. happens to me all of the time | 07:10 |
| killer | ObrienDave: oops I did n't explained it correctly , it's a laptop nd mouse touchpad is n't working | 07:11 |
| urterror | grimeton: I have 6667 which is irssi | 07:12 |
| urterror | grimeton: not 666 or 666 | 07:12 |
| urterror | 667* | 07:13 |
| grimeton | urterror: hm, did you change it to 667? | 07:13 |
| roscogruen | i doubt it gives me the url to the screenshot. on a desktop w/ several usb drives, only one stick in now, is sdb the likely location? | 07:13 |
| grimeton | that's really weird | 07:13 |
| urterror | grimeton: no I haven't change anything there | 07:14 |
| grimeton | urterror: i don't understand what is busy there | 07:14 |
| urterror | grimeton: maybe this driver is not loaded right I had my device went to sleep earlier i had to modprobe -r it and then reconnect it | 07:15 |
| urterror | grimeton: actually I ahd to reestart | 07:15 |
| ObrienDave | killer... umm, that explanation would have helped. LOL | 07:16 |
| grimeton | urterror: hm, try again when the device is up and running | 07:16 |
| roscogruen | it also locks up firefox. had to restart it. | 07:16 |
| ObrienDave | killer... PS there is NO such thing as a mouse touchpad | 07:17 |
| roscogruen | could i do this in terminal: sudo dd if=~/Desktop/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb oflag=direct bs=1048576 | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | a touch mousepad ;) | 07:17 |
| ObrienDave | PFFFFFT | 07:18 |
| roscogruen | to blank the usb stick? | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | roscogruen: why are you using that bs argument? | 07:18 |
| roscogruen | mouse touchpad! LOL | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | cant say ive e er us | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ed the o | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | cant say ive ever used the oflag option with dd either | 07:18 |
| urterror | roscogruen: I usually say touchmouse | 07:19 |
| urterror | or mousetouch | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | those Lenvo machines have a little red nipple dont they still? ;) is it a Mouse-Nipple? | 07:19 |
| roscogruen | Dr_Willis: no idea. i copied it. i might guess it tells it where to stop | 07:19 |
| ObrienDave | LMAO | 07:19 |
| reisio | 'trackpoint' | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | roscogruen: you just want to image the iso to the usb? bs tells the size of block to use. not where to stop. | 07:20 |
| reisio | the thinkpads do, lenovo has many that aren't thinkpads | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M | 07:20 |
| reisio | the keyboard-only addons for the tablets have an optical alternative that isn't the same thing | 07:20 |
| roscogruen | i want to make a new usb install or startup or live stick to help friend install linux. | 07:21 |
| roscogruen | unetbootin is a dead end for me so far | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | roscogruen: the command i gave can do that. | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | roscogruen: the pendrivelinux site has numerous alternatives to unetbootin | 07:21 |
| urterror | roscogruen: use lili | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had issues with lili in the past. ;) beyond its extreme weird-gui-ness ;) | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | dd should work in most cases. - However - i have seen problem machines that just dont want to boot from a live-usb no matter what i did.. had to use a dvd on it | 07:22 |
| reisio | beyond that there isn't actually a guarantee that any of the following will for sure allow you to boot from usb: the bios/etc., the usb stick hardware | 07:22 |
| urterror | Dr_Willis: I was making a usb live ubuntu yesterday and my father closed lili thinking it was a spam window | 07:22 |
| roscogruen | i don't want alternatives but it done | 07:22 |
| urterror | I got so mad | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | urterror: yep - its one of the worst GUI;s ive ever seen | 07:22 |
| fahadash | Is the next LTS really coming on April 2014 ? | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: every 2 years is the schedule i belive | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | 14.04 = 2014. 4th month | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | 12.04 14.04 16.04 ;) | 07:24 |
| urterror | I started using ubuntu 7.04 | 07:24 |
| fahadash | Would that be capable of running on DELL Windows8 tablets ? | 07:24 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: how should we know. ;) | 07:24 |
| Dr_Willis | by the time 14.04 comes out - there maybe ubuntu tablets. | 07:24 |
| fahadash | ummm because you guys are ubuntu pundits ? | 07:25 |
| roscogruen | Dr_Willis: do i put the iso in the home drive? and is the "~" left out? | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | MS likes its tablets locked down so no other os's can work | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | roscogruen: use the fullpath.. dont rely on ~ | 07:25 |

| reisio | Calinou: hi | 07:26 |
| time1 | i mean, tool box, layers etc should be in one box, i have readd somewhere in release notes that this version can do that | 07:26 |

| crocket | Calinou, Stop that | 07:27 |
| crocket | Skip 13.10 | 07:27 |
| Calinou | no. :) | 07:27 |
| fahadash | Because apple hardwares are better ? | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | 13.10 seems to work well for me. | 07:27 |
| Calinou | apple hardware isn't "better", it just has an optimized OS | 07:28 |
| crocket | Dr_Willis, Because you don't use ibus. | 07:28 |
| Calinou | hardware that you find on high end android phones is more powerful | 07:28 |
| Calinou | and not more expensivd | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: cant really say ive seen many people in here with ibus issues. | 07:28 |
| Calinou | french here... | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | but i am using xubuntu on a netbook as my main 13.10 machine | 07:28 |
| time1 | Calinou: thanks | 07:28 |
| Calinou | np :) | 07:29 |
| fahadash | Dr_Willis: My gf is using ubuntu 12.4 LTS on her netbook | 07:29 |
| Calinou | Dr_Willis: same! :) | 07:29 |
| crocket | Dr_Willis, xubuntu is better | 07:29 |
| crocket | unity is annoying | 07:29 |
| fahadash | Dr_Willis: She asked for a more expensive netbook because hers was slow, I replaced win7 with ubuntu | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | i have no issues with unity. it just is too much for this netbook. | 07:29 |

| Calinou | time1: no idea :/ | 07:30 |

| fahadash | Gnome DE doesnt show up in sofware center when I search for it | 07:31 |
| Calinou | gnome-shell? | 07:31 |
| time1 | hmm, how to add it to the NEMO | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: gnome shell 3.8+ has their official gnome-2 look/feel thing. | 07:31 |
| time1 | i just don't like nautilus | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | i forget what they call it.. thse things have to many varity of names | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome-classic or somthing | 07:31 |
| Calinou | thunar here | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | if i want an old skool type desktop for low end machines i use lubuntu or xubuntu | 07:32 |
| time1 | why ubuntu ships such kind of buggy applications by default, like brasero, nautilus, | 07:32 |
| fahadash | Please help... Canonical or whoever just pulled GNome from software center... It used to be there 15 min ago | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | qtrazor is a newcomer to that catatory also | 07:32 |
| Guest12279 | when i run my script, it is working fine but when my script running through crown it showing some syntax error in command. what should i do? | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: use the apt-cache search command. and what are you searching for exactly? | 07:32 |
| time1 | does thunar support file search option | 07:33 |
| Calinou | time1: if you are affected by a bug try updating the packages | 07:33 |
| fahadash | Dr_Willis: Trying to install gnome | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest12279: cron dosent use bash by default. make sure your script is ran with bash as its first line. #!/bin/bash | 07:34 |
| time1 | Calinou: most of time, it hangs, stops responding in small directories | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: which gnome? Unity uses gnome3 by default.. so your being vague | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: gnome-shell? | 07:34 |

| Dr_Willis | fahadash: in what ubuntu release? | 07:35 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... the gnome meta is still in the repos | 07:35 |
| fahadash | 12.4 LTS | 07:35 |
| Guest12279 | Dr_Willis, oh ok thanks | 07:35 |
| fahadash | I just did apt-get update and still cant find it | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gnome-panel | 07:35 |
| ubottu | gnome-panel (source: gnome-panel): launcher and docking facility for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:3.6.2-0ubuntu15 (saucy), package size 333 kB, installed size 1353 kB | 07:35 |
| ObrienDave | use synaptic | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | thought it was gnome-panel that pulled in the classic gnome in 12.04 but i could be wrong. | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !classic | 07:36 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 07:36 |
| fahadash | Dr_Willis: http://imgur.com/ExFH7qR | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !nounity | 07:36 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome fallback mode -> install gnome-panel the bot just said. | 07:37 |
| fahadash | Unable to locate package ubuntu-gnome-desktop | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: because you are on an older release | 07:38 |

| sfera | Hi, I searched about this hardware in the forums but have not found any information that mentioned if this hardware with pre-installed ubuntu works easily with this somewhat limited power processor, do anyone know this hardware, have used it and that how responds with ubuntu? supports a resolution full hd 1080 pp? | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | be glad when all these redundant fallnack/classic/old-skool modes die out | 07:39 |

| reisio | sfera: if it's preinstalled, all you need is a return policy | 07:40 |
| roscogruen | what is the purpose of having xubuntu along with ubuntu? how is xubuntu different? | 07:40 |
| reisio | roscogruen: it uses Xfce instead of GNOME 3+Unity | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | roscogruen: xubuntu uses xfce | 07:40 |
| reisio | which is different, it's a little more like GNOME 2 than 3 | 07:40 |
| fahadash | I got gnome, thanks | 07:40 |
| reisio | and potentially uses fewer resources | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | xfce is a bit lighter ;) and more old skool in its looks | 07:40 |
| OerHeks | unity - 1024 mb / xubuntu - 512 mb / lubuntu 256 mb | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu and lxde is lighter still. | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | or go extreme and just use a basic window manager. ;) | 07:41 |
| roscogruen | hmm. | 07:41 |
| ObrienDave | a little too lite for my taste | 07:41 |
| roscogruen | i'm gonna restart and try ubuntu for first time in four years | 07:42 |
| urterror | it use to work well on my pentium 3 laptop | 07:42 |
| roscogruen | bbl | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | all im doing on my netbook is irc and watching vidoes. ;) jwm and a terminal is about all i need | 07:42 |
| urterror | Dr_Willis: are you watching flash videos from ubuntu server? | 07:43 |
| lapion | hmm gnome fall-back/flashback on i915 still does not do screen redraws correctly | 07:43 |
| urterror | how can it be done? using a svga framebuffer? | 07:43 |
| Twinlator | what's the most important new features in ubutnu 13.10? | 07:43 |

| wilee-nilee | Twinlator, having people ask "what's the most important new features in ubutnu 13.10?" | 07:44 |
| reisio | sfera: I'd guess not, but we can figure it out if we look it all up | 07:44 |
| reisio | sfera: do you have a screen that supports 1080p? | 07:45 |
| === urterror is now known as Patero-ng | ||
| sfera | reisio yes it is for a tv lg full hd from 120 cm of diameter , 47 inch | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Just use a flash downloader tool and a video player perhaps... | 07:47 |
| Lynxx | hello | 07:48 |
| Lynxx | i have a q | 07:48 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm.. even rather low end mondern hardware can support 1080p these days | 07:48 |
| ObrienDave | !ask | Lynxx | 07:48 |
| ubottu | Lynxx: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 07:48 |
| reisio | sfera: there are some <$100 computers you can get that do 1080p | 07:48 |
| Lynxx | Whenever i try playing bingo blitz on facebook it says i need to update flash. I already have updated to the latest but still same error, was working before i think... | 07:49 |
| Lynxx | ObrienDave, i was typing it | 07:49 |
| Twinlator | i'm using ubutnu 12.04 LTS now, and i wanna update my OS to the newest version. However ,the intro on ubutnu.com didn't give much more information. | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Lynxx: could be theres some newer flash on windows thats not out for linux yet. or their code is just being stupid | 07:49 |
| ObrienDave | ok, sorry. my impatience ;) | 07:49 |
| reisio | sfera: $50 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubieboard | 07:49 |
| Lynxx | :( | 07:49 |
| sfera | reisio i wanted this machine because is very small | 07:49 |
| reisio | sfera: €30 | 07:49 |
| reisio | sfera: this is even smaller | 07:50 |
| Lynxx | Dr_Willis, is there any work around? | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Lynxx: no idea. | 07:50 |
| reisio | and about 300% cheaper | 07:50 |
| Lynxx | other than using windows | 07:50 |
| Lynxx | ok ty | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Twinlator: if you dont have a real need to update. then dont. stick to lts or the latst release. | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Twinlator: upgradeing from your current install to 13.10 - maybe a bit of a pain. for little gain | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Twinlator: and 14.04 will be out in a few months. | 07:51 |
| Sazpaimon_ | why do the ubuntu 13.10 isos not have an EFI folder? | 07:51 |
| ObrienDave | 6, to be exact ;) | 07:52 |
| OerHeks | Sazpaimon_, why does it need to have it? it works on UEFI. | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 07:52 |
| Sazpaimon_ | because for me to boot the installer in efi mode, it needs a bootx64.efi file | 07:53 |
| Sazpaimon_ | does it not? | 07:53 |
| sfera | reisio reisio ok it is cool but i cant buy it in a shop of my country, true?? | 07:53 |
| reisio | Sazpaimon_: no, uefi boots the usb stick | 07:53 |
| reisio | Sazpaimon_: after installation you'd need an efi system partition, but not before | 07:53 |
| reisio | Sazpaimon_: besides that, a bootx64.efi file is not an efi folder | 07:53 |
| reisio | sfera: what country, España? | 07:54 |
| sfera | reisio , yes of course | 07:54 |
| reisio | I'm sure there are some €30 small form factor single-board computers supporting 1080p available in España | 07:54 |
| reisio | if not the cubieboard then something else | 07:54 |
| Sazpaimon_ | reisio, so then how does the uefi firmware know how to boot the usb stick? | 07:55 |
| reisio | does it matter if it has to be shipped to you, though? | 07:55 |
| reisio | Sazpaimon_: same way bios knows how | 07:55 |
| reisio | hello usb stick, please boot | 07:55 |
| Sazpaimon_ | uh, bios only knows because the MBR is formatted | 07:55 |
| Sazpaimon_ | uefi does not use MBR | 07:55 |
| Sazpaimon_ | oh wait, I was mistaken re: efi folder missing | 07:55 |
| Sazpaimon_ | i was loading the 32 bit iso | 07:56 |
| * reisio shrugs | 07:56 | |
| fahadash | Where do I find synaptic ? | 07:56 |
| Sazpaimon_ | the 64 bit iso clearly has EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi | 07:56 |
| Sazpaimon_ | carry on | 07:56 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... go through software center | 07:56 |
| OerHeks | Sazpaimon_, UEFI does not support 32 bit | 07:56 |
| Sazpaimon_ | OerHeks, yes i know, i accidently mounted the wrong iso | 07:56 |
| Sazpaimon_ | but just fyi that file is indeed required for any uefi system to boot the usb stick | 07:57 |
| reisio | sfera: http://cubieboard.org/buy/ three items for spain | 07:57 |
| sfera | reisio ok but i like buy it all in shops of my country | 07:57 |
| OerHeks | Sazpaimon_, i am aware of that, have fun! | 07:58 |
| lapion | well actually if you do not want to use bios emulation on an uefi system you need efi folder on any device you wish to boot | 07:59 |
| reisio | sfera: why? | 07:59 |
| Sazpaimon_ | also speaking of distros tha are missing the EFI folder | 07:59 |
| vadi | What is a Ubuntu-friendly drawing tablet? | 07:59 |
| Sazpaimon_ | the minimal CD is also missing it | 07:59 |
| === ping__ is now known as kiss | ||
| sfera | reisio , buy it only in physical stores ??? | 08:00 |
| reisio | sfera: yes | 08:00 |
| Sazpaimon_ | copying the EFI folder from the full iso into it makes it boot, though, but it'd be nice if it were included so I dont need to download an additonal 700+ MB ISO just to get the efi stuff | 08:00 |
| sfera | reisio which is a physical store ? Imai-solutions Quascar Goshield | 08:02 |
| Sazpaimon_ | is this a mistake or is it by design? | 08:02 |
| reisio | sfera: no idea, why do you need to buy it in a store? | 08:02 |
| reisio | Sazpaimon_: is what a mistake? | 08:02 |
| ObrienDave | it's by design | 08:02 |
| === mtrd`w is now known as EugeneBndt | ||
| Sazpaimon_ | reisio, the minimal iso missing the EFI bits | 08:03 |
| fahadash | How do I add new users ? I used useradd -d /home/username username <-- and I cant log in gui | 08:03 |
| Sazpaimon_ | it only takes up about 1.5MB more, so I dont know why that's missing | 08:03 |
| reisio | Sazpaimon_: I think someone said if it boots it boots | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: easier to use 'sudo adduser username' | 08:03 |
| sfera | reisio because i can taste the hardware in the same shop before of buy it | 08:03 |
| Sazpaimon_ | reisio, mini.iso wont boot unless I copy the EFI folder from the full iso to it | 08:04 |
| reisio | fahadash: you'd need to run 'passwd user' at the very least | 08:04 |
| fahadash | reisio: I did | 08:04 |
| reisio | sfera: that's what return policies are for | 08:04 |
| reisio | fahadash: then there are groups to consider | 08:04 |
| fahadash | It accepts my user/pass , screen flickers and comes back to login screen | 08:04 |
| fahadash | Which group should it be in ? | 08:04 |
| reisio | fahadash: almost all the same groups any user you're already using is in | 08:04 |
| Sazpaimon_ | its not a deal breaker, i'd just rather not have to download 700MB just to copy 1.5-2MBMB of data to make a 36MB iso work | 08:05 |
| reisio | 'groups existingUser' | 08:05 |
| fahadash | my current (root/default) user is in adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare | 08:05 |
| reisio | weird | 08:05 |
| reisio | fahadash: what'd you put in the home dir? | 08:06 |
| sfera | .. | 08:06 |
| reisio | sfera: if you're going to walk into a store | 08:06 |
| fahadash | reisio: useradd command didn't mkdir the new directory so I had to create one, its empty | 08:06 |
| reisio | sfera: you can just ask a sales clerk if it does 1080p | 08:06 |
| reisio | sfera: and return it if they lie to you | 08:06 |
| reisio | fahadash: -m does that | 08:06 |
| fahadash | I am trying adduser as Dr_Willis said | 08:07 |
| fahadash | adduser is asking a whole bunch of questions including room # and SAT score | 08:08 |
| reisio | yup | 08:08 |
| wylde | fahadash, they can be left blank ... | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | every time ive seen people have issues adding users from the cli.. its because they use useradd not adduser. ;) | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: so hit enter | 08:08 |
| sfera | reisio in the web if you buy something and you return this thing the cost of return this thing is yours | 08:08 |
| reisio | useradd is simple | 08:08 |
| fahadash | Why can't I use useradd ? | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | and they always seem to have a hard time understanding 'just leave them blank...' | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: my guess would be you did not tive useradd all the needed options | 08:09 |
| fahadash | sfera: That is why I always buy with free shipment; that comes with free return shipment automatically | 08:09 |
| wylde | you can use useradd, you just have to use it properly ;) | 08:09 |

| wylde | fahadash, I saw a couple alternatives suggested. | 08:25 |
| fahadash | cfhowlett: Can xubuntu or lubuntu help me accomplish what I am trying to accomplish ? | 08:25 |
| k1l | fahadash: we gave you alternatives. see the desktops that look like the way windows looks | 08:25 |
| fahadash | Dont want XP look, dont want xfce's default look | 08:25 |
| wylde | fahadash, then customize them? | 08:25 |
| zebedee_ | I can get to a desktop and alt+f2 will allow me to start applications - how do I get the top panel back please | 08:25 |
| fahadash | I want this look.... http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Final-Product-e1300273216522.png | 08:26 |
| fahadash | Is this possible ? | 08:26 |
| reisio | fahadash: there are several packs and howtos for making GNOME and KDE look like Windows | 08:26 |
| reisio | fahadash: including a few distros that ship them default | 08:26 |
| ObrienDave | xubuntu is a bit "plainer". I think it looks closer to classic windows | 08:26 |
| k1l | fahadash: and dont take the users for naive. they will see its not windows at least if they start a file browser or if the want to install some .exe | 08:26 |
| reisio | there's nothing in particular that makes Xfce plainer, the Xubuntu guys just went with flat gray because they did | 08:26 |
| fahadash | k1l: I am not going to tell them its windows... I am trying to help users have a smooth transition | 08:27 |
| wylde | fahadash, the answer is yes. It is possible. | 08:27 |
| fahadash | reisio: Do you have any link to those howtos ? | 08:27 |
| fahadash | wylde: How ? | 08:27 |
| reisio | nope, because they're so easy to find | 08:27 |
| vlt | fahadash: What distro is this screenshot? | 08:28 |
| fahadash | vlt: Ubuntu 10.4 LTS | 08:28 |
| reisio | https://www.google.com/search?q=windows%207%20theme%20gnome etc. | 08:28 |
| cfhowlett | vlt, that would be ... vista | 08:28 |
| wylde | fahadash, by starting with a reasonably similar desktop and cusomizing it. | 08:28 |
| wylde | customizing it. | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | having it sort of-kinda-look like windowsa but not act like windows will just cause more frustration | 08:28 |
| fahadash | vlt: Here is the actual page... http://www.howtogeek.com/55985/ | 08:28 |
| fahadash | Dr_Willis: Its "acting like windows" part that causes everybody frustration | 08:29 |
| cfhowlett | fahadash, it won't. it's not windows. | 08:29 |
| fahadash | If windows acting like windows, I wouldn't be trying to convert windows users into linux | 08:29 |
| fahadash | wait, i gotta rephrase | 08:29 |
| fahadash | If windows did act like windows, I wouldn't be trying to convert windows users into linux | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | i convert windows users by just lettingthem use the system and they relize how its differnt and better | 08:30 |
| * vlt too | 08:30 | |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... http://www.pcworld.com/article/2028896/how-to-make-ubuntu-linux-look-like-windows-7.html | 08:30 |
| cfhowlett | fahadash, time for you to do your own research. LOOK like windows is doable. ACT like windows ... install windows and send them away happy. | 08:30 |
| ObrienDave | that took all of 10 seconds to find | 08:30 |
| reisio | he probably means act like windows if it weren't so awful | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | watch out for 'theme guides' that date back 2+ years ;) | 08:31 |
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, lmgtfy | 08:31 |
| fahadash | wait it still doesnt make sense... I guess I am too sleepy | 08:31 |
| fahadash | What I meant to say, Windows acting like Windows is a problem | 08:32 |
| * Dr_Willis makes his windows setup look like unity. | 08:32 | |
| bazhang | !ot | fahadash | 08:32 |
| ubottu | fahadash: #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! | 08:32 |
| ObrienDave | cfhowlett... LMAO | 08:32 |
| * cfhowlett makes his ubuntustudio look kewl. | 08:32 | |
| Dr_Willis | I still cant get the elementary os desktop working right on 13.10 ;( | 08:32 |
| fahadash | cfhowlett: I guess I am misunderstood, I am not trying to make ubuntu act like windows.... | 08:33 |
| fahadash | I tried to get Windows to stop acting like Windows, I failed... So I moved to linux... | 08:33 |
| bazhang | fahadash, lets get back on topic | 08:33 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... i think they're trying to tell you to do some basic RESEARCH | 08:33 |
| cfhowlett | fahadash, I think we' ve beat this topic into the ground | 08:34 |
| bazhang | fahadash, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: i imagine if you want to customuze the desktop that much. you will want to be using XFCE and not Unity or gnome3 | 08:34 |
| fahadash | bazhang: I am talking about giving people who got stung by windows a solution...which is ubuntu... is it still off-topic ? | 08:34 |
| bazhang | fahadash, YES | 08:34 |
| wow | hi guys, i can see the display manager, and when i login, there is just black screen, here is the error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/6293691/ | 08:34 |
| reisio | it'd take less time with Xfce | 08:34 |
| wow | can someone help? thanks | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | wow: lightdm login works? or you dont even see that? | 08:34 |
| bazhang | wow tried nomodeset? | 08:35 |
| fahadash | Dr_Willis: Are you saying getting that theme is easier on xfce than on gnome ? | 08:35 |
| BenNZ | hi having trouble with the precise mini iso , ive tried on my laptop/desktop and vbox each time it fails after selecting the mirror , i did an md5sum test on the iso and it passed , anyone know what the problem is? | 08:35 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... YES, this is Ubuntu SUPPORT not ex-window user support | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: you dont understand how themes work on linux desktops. | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | oh well.. never mind | 08:35 |
| cfhowlett | dang, I just found his solution too http://ubuntusatanic.org/ | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | and for the record.. xfce is mor ecustomizeable. ;) | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | cfhowlett: what? not hanna-montanna linux? ;) | 08:36 |
| bazhang | !nomodeset | wow | 08:36 |
| ubottu | wow: 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 | 08:36 |
| reisio | it's not more customizeable, it's just less complex, and therefore more easily customized | 08:36 |
| cfhowlett | Dr_Willis, agreed | 08:36 |
| cfhowlett | Dr_Willis, LOL | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | be carefull we will have to !OT ourself more. | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | wow: if lightdm login screen works. but the desktop dosent. try making a new user. see if it works for them. | 08:37 |
| wow | ubottu: thanks, i'll try | 08:37 |
| ubottu | wow: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:37 |
| wow | Dr_Willis: nope, the same result | 08:37 |
| wow | ubottu: thanks anywahy | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | wow: i imagine the guest user also has the same issue? | 08:37 |
| jack | k1l, check http://pastebin.com/Whd7wW15 | 08:38 |
| wow | yep, i try the guest user, but it is black screen too | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | wow: often theres some issues with Unity/compiz and the video drivers. but ive never seen a defacto fix. | 08:38 |
| zetto123 | what is the top bar called in ubuntu? the one with all the small icons and stuff, and sometimes settings for an program. | 08:38 |
| reisio | top bar, globalmenu, etc. | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | wow: other then to try a differnt non-unity/compiz based desktop ;) but thats a little exterem | 08:39 |
| zetto123 | oh it doesn't have a specific name? | 08:39 |
| reisio | panel :) | 08:39 |
| wow | Dr_Willis: ok, then i'll try lxde, tk ;) | 08:39 |
| zetto123 | lol okay | 08:39 |
| reisio | zetto123: does it have a name in Mac OS? | 08:40 |
| zetto123 | reisio: dunno not a mac user soo | 08:40 |
| ObrienDave | zetto123... panel 0 | 08:40 |
| ab` | what should be the behavior of 'sed -ni s/regex/foo file'? | 08:40 |
| ObrienDave | I think ;) | 08:40 |
| reisio | ab`: an error | 08:41 |
| lapion | ubuntu installer cannot handle btrfs install | 08:41 |
| cfhowlett | lapion, default is ext4 ... | 08:42 |
| === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek | ||
| ab` | everytime i do that, sed empties my file. is there a reason behind it? | 08:43 |
| lapion | after manually selecting btrfs the installer cannot handle using or formatting btrfs | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | zetto123: theres some web sites that give the names of all the unity gui bits.. http://www.howtogeek.com/113330/ | 08:43 |
| reisio | ab`: try without -n | 08:43 |
| iceroot | ab`: sed will remove your regex with foo (and because you are using -n you will not get any output | 08:44 |
| zetto123 | Dr_Willis: thanks that can be helpful, gonna look into it | 08:44 |
| iceroot | ab`: and maybe remove -i for testing, because -i will edit the file directly (see also man sed for the options) | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | zetto123: seen several sites that are similer.. some may be a little out of date. then theres the offical ubuntu manual | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | zetto123 | 08:44 |
| ubottu | zetto123: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 08:44 |
| cfhowlett | lapion, stop the installation. reboot the ubuntu disk live session. DO NOT install. use gparted to prepare your partitions. then reboot and install into the partitions | 08:45 |
| zetto123 | okay thanks guys, guess i will for first time in my life read an manual | 08:45 |
| Dr_Willis | zetto123: its more pictures then anything else i recall. ;) | 08:46 |
| ObrienDave | rtfm ;) | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | 'read and follow label directions' | 08:46 |
| ObrienDave | something I can't get my wife to do LOL | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | some of the features of ubuntu are a bit hard to 'discover' | 08:46 |
| ab` | it works fine with 'sed -in s/regex/foo file', though. it seems little weird. | 08:47 |
| lapion | cfhowlett, like I said " cannot handle using or formatting btrfs" | 08:48 |
| ObrienDave | sometimes switch order makes all the difference | 08:48 |
| iceroot | ab`: ? so you say -in is working but not -ni? or what is your statement? | 08:48 |
| cfhowlett | lapion, per the gparted site, btrfs is doable. I don't know why your's isn't working. sorry | 08:48 |
| ab` | iceroot: exactly. | 08:48 |
| iceroot | ab`: ok that sounds strange, was never facing something like that, maybe i was just lucky | 08:48 |
| ab` | iceroot: just lost my big .emacs file | 08:49 |
| iceroot | ab`: the manpage says .) edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied) | 08:50 |
| iceroot | ab`: so maybe there is a backup? | 08:50 |
| ab` | iceroot: i didn't supply any, sadly. | 08:51 |

| BenNZ | hi having trouble with the precise mini iso , ive tried on my laptop/desktop and vbox each time it fails after selecting the mirror , i did an md5sum test on the iso and it passed , anyone know what the problem is? | 08:52 |
| geirha | -ni is -n -i, -in is -i with n as suffix | 08:52 |
| ObrienDave | BenNZ... have you tried a different mirror each time? | 08:53 |
| wylde | BenNZ, what mirror are you choosing? Are you trying the same one each time? Is there any additional error output? | 08:53 |
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, wrong mirror? | 08:53 |
| lapion | cfhowlett, sorry a preformatted partition works fine | 08:53 |
| cfhowlett | lapion, more than one way to skin a cat ... | 08:53 |
| ab` | geirha: oh i see, there are 'filen' files in same directory. | 08:54 |
| geirha | ab`: You probably don't want -n at all, just -i, so the question would be why did you include -n in the first place? | 08:54 |
| BenNZ | i did try the nz one and the one of the aus one's | 08:54 |
| lapion | still it's sloppy to not insert a warning in the installer to point to this shortcoming... | 08:54 |
| === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby | ||

| ChiVampir | Hi I have some problem and are unable to get my system to boot. | 08:55 |

| ubottu | ChiVampir,: 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 ..." | 08:55 |
| === songhui is now known as nubuntu | ||
| geirha | ab`: Technically, sed cannot edit files. What the -i does is write the result to a new file and move it over the original one afterwards | 08:56 |
| === Guest140 is now known as xtriz | ||
| lapion | e this one account to login to everything in the installer.. this should not be in the installer.. | 08:57 |
| BenNZ | nope doesnt matter which mirror , just tried aus and us again , hangs at the same place | 08:57 |
| xtriz | is their a GUI for openvpn ? | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | xtriz: client or server? | 08:58 |
| ChiVampir | I have problem with booting Ubuntu 13.10. I only run into this screen: http://i44.tinypic.com/2zsnr51.jpg I have disabled secure boot and boot mode is set to legacy. I was able to boot into the system one time after install (the boot took over 10 min), and installed updates as well as installing kernel 3.12. I've tried to do a boot repair and this is my url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6293415/ | 08:58 |
| ChiVampir | If you need it I can give you the output of lshw -short | 08:59 |
| xtriz | ActionParsnip, both | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ChiVampir: check BIOS settings for the drive in BIOS. You may want to run a low level check using the manufacturer's tool on the Ultimate Boot CD | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | xtriz: network-manager icon in your panel can connect to VPNs and has the client in. I am not sure about a GUI for openVPN as an endpoint but there are tonnes of guides on how to set one up | 09:00 |
| ChiVampir | ActionParsnip: Thank you. I will try and tell you the result. | 09:00 |
| xtriz | ActionParsnip, ok , it would have been nice if there was a nice GUI to configure VPN as well. | 09:01 |
| ChiVampir | ActionParsnip: I'm now in bios and don | 09:02 |

| gypsymauro | I mount a smb share with nautilus, but when I open a qt application I can't see that mount point and I've no idea on how to access to it, any hint? | 09:02 |
| ab` | geirha: so, what goes wrong when with 'ni'? | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | xtriz: why? Most people put it on a server OS, so has no GUI | 09:03 |
| wylde | gypsymauro, look in ~/.gvfs ;) | 09:03 |
| nubuntu | ? | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | xtriz: why does EVERYTHING need a GUI? | 09:03 |
| Twinlator | hello, i have a error when i run a c program. (i'm a new man in c language). http://paste.ubuntu.com/6293806/ | 09:03 |

| flutiwinger | q | 09:04 |
| ChiVampir | ActionParsnip: Where can I find the low level check? | 09:04 |
| gypsymauro | I don't have that folder | 09:04 |
| gypsymauro | even showing hidden files | 09:04 |
| flutiwinger | Quit | 09:04 |
| geirha | ab`: It includes -n, which you apparently don't want. | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: look again. its where the gnome virtual filesystem puts things | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: try the shell.. cd ~/.gvfs | 09:04 |
| ChiVampir | ActionParsnip: And what is the Ultimate Boot CD? Sorry for not knowing... | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: if you are using kde.. it might use a differnt location | 09:05 |
| knifes | i install ubuntu 13.10 | 09:05 |
| geirha | ab`: Have you looked it up in the manual yet? | 09:05 |
| knifes | yes | 09:06 |
| gypsymauro | Dr_Willis: yes iI found the same answer on internet but on my installation I can see in nautilus the share mounted and I can access to it but no .gvfs folder | 09:06 |
| gypsymauro | it's a 13.10 | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: ls -l ~/.gvfs gives what error/info ? | 09:07 |
| ab` | geirha: sure, i did. i have read the man, info and faq pages that come with sed. but it just says -n suppresses the output of context area. | 09:08 |
| gypsymauro | Dr_Willis: no souch fiel or directory | 09:08 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: and you are using unity/gnome? or kde? | 09:08 |
| gypsymauro | Dr_Willis: unity/gnome | 09:09 |
| ab` | geirha: this behavior is not mentioned anywhere. | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: i definatly have a .gvfs on unity/13.10 here | 09:09 |
| geirha | ab`: «suppress automatic printing of pattern space», which means that it won't output any lines unless you explicitly use the p command (or the p flag for the s command). | 09:09 |
| wylde | Dr_Willis, as does my Kubuntu 13.10 box | 09:09 |
| gypsymauro | Dr_Willis: I added the share using "connect to server" | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: you could always mount the shares by hand to whatever location you want i guess | 09:10 |
| knifes | ubuntu 13.10 its ok still have lot of error and bug to work on | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: access it in nautilus, and look at the path its using | 09:10 |
| gypsymauro | Dr_Willis: yes of course but is for a non geek user :) | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | gypsymauro: ctrl-l shows the full path.address bar | 09:10 |
| geirha | ab`: Why did you include -n in the first place? | 09:10 |
| gypsymauro | Dr_Willis: it says smb://myserver/share | 09:11 |

| ubottu | zetto123: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| yeehi | thanks, wylde... | 09:24 |
| lapion | cfhowlett, the breakage is probably because mkfs.btrfs gives a warning and aborts when formatting a pre-formatted partition. mkfs.btrfs will only format the partition if -f is used | 09:25 |

| ObrienDave | fahadash... thank you for saying so :) | 09:28 |
| fahadash | This is the snapshot of what I got so far....http://imgur.com/w8FpUc4 | 09:28 |
| fahadash | That pcmag article (whoever shared it), was awesome | 09:28 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... looks good so far | 09:29 |
| holden87 | hi guys, i just have one question | 09:29 |
| fahadash | ObrienDave: Now the menus are little bit off; the howtogeek article was showing the perfect win-like menu | 09:29 |
| n008 | how do I setup a light proxy on a server | 09:30 |
| holden87 | i installed 13.10, and when i visited youtube, it asked me to install the youtube shortcut or whatever that is. How do i uninstall it? | 09:30 |
| cfhowlett | holden87, it's a firefox addon and managed by firefox | 09:30 |
| n008 | that I can use from my dektop | 09:30 |
| cfhowlett | holden87, firefox> tools > addons > | 09:30 |
| holden87 | is it ubuntu online accounts 0.5? | 09:31 |
| holden87 | or unity websites integration? | 09:31 |
| harpal | I have ubuntu harddisk mounted on /mnt/oldlinux directory. I am trying to remove libc6:i386 using command dpkg -P --force-all --root=/mnt/oldlinux libc6:i386 | 09:31 |
| cfhowlett | holden87, ??? it's not related to ubuntu - it's a firefox dohickey | 09:31 |
| wasanzy | hello | 09:31 |
| cfhowlett | holden87, unless we're talking about different things | 09:31 |
| harpal | but it throws error about unable to execute installed post-removal script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6:i386.postrm): No such file or directory | 09:31 |
| wasanzy | how do I check if a file or directory is a symbolic link? | 09:32 |
| holden87 | no no, that's what the firefox addons are named in my addon list | 09:32 |
| holden87 | but i don't know which is the right one | 09:32 |
| holden87 | :D | 09:32 |
| harpal | while /mnt/oldlinux/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6:i386.postrm file exists | 09:32 |
| strit | Hi guys. Quick question, with hopefully a quick answer. I'm creating my own .desktop files, but the icons I specify in the file will not show. Is there a special syntax for that, or must the icons be in a specific folder? | 09:32 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... which picture? | 09:32 |
| jack | E: Internal Error, No file name for python3.2:i386 | 09:32 |

| jack | old,it's quantal | 09:33 |
| fahadash | ObrienDave: http://www.howtogeek.com/55985/ | 09:33 |
| harpal | I dont know why dpkg is not able to see that file while purging the package. | 09:33 |

| fahadash | ObrienDave: I am still seeing xfce layout on "Applications menu". Dont know how to customize that. | 09:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Do you guys recommend 12.04 or 13.04? | 09:34 |
| jack | 13.10 :P | 09:34 |
| fahadash | Wiz_KeeD: Not sure what is best but I use 12.04, I am a n00b.. 12.04 is LTS | 09:34 |
| holden87 | Wiz_KeeD: 12.04, because 13.04 support is ending soon | 09:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yeah that's why I use it too | 09:34 |
| jack | saucy > * | 09:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | soon? it hasn't been launched for that long :)) | 09:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | haha | 09:35 |
| holden87 | It has only 9months support | 09:35 |
| Zerant | Desktop I User 13.10 and on my Server and HomeServer i habe 12.04 LTS Server | 09:35 |
| DJones | Wiz_KeeD: Life spans are only 9 months now apart from LTS releases which are 5 years | 09:35 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... because they're being done by 2 different methods. neither one will look like the other | 09:35 |
| fahadash | ObrienDave: I got the bottom panel fine, applications menu button changed, window edges, folder icons changed... Can we even customize look n feel of Applications Menu ? | 09:36 |
| jack | E: Internal Error, No file name for python3.2:i386 | 09:36 |
| jack | :( | 09:36 |
| fahadash | ObrienDave: Or would that be the question for #xfce | 09:37 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash... don't know, never tried. I like it the way Xubuntu is. It's more like classic Windows | 09:38 |
| fahadash | ObrienDave: I wanna give windows users the warm and fuzzy feeling while they switch to ubuntu | 09:38 |
| fahadash | But that is good so far... Thanks again everybody for their help | 09:39 |

| HisaoNakai | Hey folks, Is there a cli/ncurses bittorrent client which renders graphs? | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | HisaoNakai: graphs of what? | 09:46 |
| vlt | Hello. Two questions after upgrade to 13.10: How to add more workspaces? And how to cycle through the keyboard layouts? The settings dialog says “Super+Space” but that doesn’t change the layout (but shows the starter bar instead). Any idea? | 09:46 |
| HisaoNakai | (upload/download graphs, and maybe torrent progress graphs) | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | HisaoNakai: rtorrent has an ncurses UI | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | HisaoNakai: no idea about graphs | 09:47 |
| HisaoNakai | ActionParsnip: rtorrent hasn't been updated in years, right? o.o | 09:47 |
| vlt | HisaoNakai: Can’t confirm. | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | HisaoNakai: if you want a server you can remote manage, then transmision has a remote UI you can use :) | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | HisaoNakai: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/tree/master/src updated 2 months ago, so no | 09:48 |
| jack | wylde: ping? | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | HisaoNakai: where did you get the idea that it hasn't been updated? | 09:49 |
| ObrienDave | HisaoNakai... you mean like bandwidth usage graphs? | 09:49 |
| HisaoNakai | ObrienDave: sorta | 09:49 |
| HisaoNakai | vlt: I see. | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | HisaoNakai: where did you get the idea that it hasn't been updated? | 09:50 |
| ObrienDave | don't know of one for Linux | 09:50 |
| HisaoNakai | ActionParsnip: Oh. Holy crap, i didn't know it was on github, I was looking at the Trac. x-P | 09:50 |

| ActionParsnip | vlt: in which shell / desktop? | 10:04 |
| vlt | ActionParsnip: Is there more than one Unity? | 10:05 |

| ActionParsnip | vlt: you could be using LXDE, XFCE, KDE and so forth. | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | risro_: because the latest (d)evelopment release is 14.04 | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | risro_: that's what the -d option does.. | 10:06 |
| wylde | ActionParsnip, he did include (and Unity) in his initial question is what he's saying. | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | vlt: You could also have LXDE installed and be using that etc :) | 10:07 |

| Wiz_KeeD | what does this mean? something to do with hardware?? | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: what GPU do you use? | 10:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | wait...it booted now but it gave all those errors | 10:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | graphics card? | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: yes, the chip on the card. What is it? | 10:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | there's a internal one Intel HD 4000 smth and there's a nvidia card as well | 10:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | optimus technology smth | 10:09 |
| risro_ | ActionParsnip: yeah I copied that line from the web and didn't think about the -d | 10:09 |

| wylde | fahadash, precise pangolin | 10:22 |
| cfhowlett | !precise|fahadash, | 10:22 |

| ubottu | Wiz_KeeD: 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 | 10:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ActionParsnip, I managed to get passed that and now installing updates | 10:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD | should be fine I guess no? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | time1: mounty can mount ISOs in GUI | 10:25 |
| zetto123 | anyone know how to get facebook chat system to work with empathy? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: i guess, look into bumblebee to support your Optimus mess | 10:26 |
| time1 | ActionParsnip: no, i mean, i was able to mount them in nautilus | 10:26 |
| BenNZ | hi still having trouble using the mini iso for precise , no matter what locale or mirror i use still gets stuck at downloading release file information , md5sum matches , and it doesnt matter whether i dd the image , use grub to boot the iso , or use vbox , anyone know what could be wrong? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | time1: there are nautilus-scripts to add that functionality | 10:27 |
| time1 | ActionParsnip: now, where they have gone | 10:27 |
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, and it still fails at the mirror selection? | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | time1: they are 3rd party, you'll find them online with ease | 10:27 |
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: just after with the release file download (same place as before) | 10:28 |
| napsc | Running 13.04: I just did the lastest update (not upgrade to 13.10). It put the “Computer” “Home Folder” and “Trash Can” on the desktop (I don't keep icons on Desktop normally) and now they've disappeared. Is that normal behavior? | 10:28 |
| time1 | ActionParsnip: i don't know why they got uninstalled, i have not updated nautilus | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | time1: its not a default feature of nautilus | 10:28 |
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, man, I wish I knew what to say, but if it's not a mirror glitch, I'm out of idea. | 10:28 |
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: also tried with the saucy mini but that didnt even get that far | 10:28 |
| chro | my keyboard stop working when I upgraded my ubuntu to 13.10. | 10:28 |
| chro | it works with older kernels, but not with the latest one | 10:29 |

| chro | what can I do ? | 10:29 |
| time1 | ActionParsnip: let me see | 10:29 |
| === BlackDex_ is now known as BlackDex | ||
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: i even tried quantal and raring and they failed at the same place as precise | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | chro: are there any bugs reported? | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | chro: does the system have a make and model? | 10:29 |
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: i cant figure it out either , perhaps theyre just not usuable | 10:30 |
| chro | ActionParsnip, yes there are | 10:30 |
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, are you on the internet with that box? I wonder if you're blocked or routing blacklisted or something | 10:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ActionParsnip, if I have a ssd and a regular drive, I partitioned the ssd in half and the full harddrive for windows then installed ubuntu with "install ubuntu alongside windows" that means ubuntu is not installed on the ssd? | 10:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Because if I boot from ssd windows starts automatically, if i boot from the other hard-drive, grub starts... | 10:30 |
| === luketheduke is now known as honestly | ||
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, try a different internet connection | 10:30 |
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: yep same one im using now , and i tried on my laptop aswell | 10:30 |
| BenNZ | cfhowlett: router issue? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: you can have grub in the MBR of any of the drives, it can boot multiple drives | 10:31 |
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, and ALL fail at the same point? i'd suspect you've got an ISP /router setting then | 10:31 |
| wylde | BenNZ, I tested a mini.iso here and got the same. | 10:31 |
| cfhowlett | BenNZ, not hardware, not software | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: normally it is on the same drive as the OSes etc, but its not 100% necessary | 10:31 |
| BenNZ | wylde: fails at the 'download release file' for you aswell? | 10:31 |

| Wiz_KeeD | ActionParsnip, I just formated my normal drive will start the install once again, any suggestions on how to install ubuntu on ssd? | 10:32 |
| BenNZ | wylde: thats the same , then its just ubuntu havent made the iso's properly then | 10:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I left the other half of the ssd unpartitioned | 10:32 |
| xxxman | ths | 10:32 |
| BenNZ | wylde: not much i can do about that then | 10:32 |
| wylde | BenNZ, not sure about, this iso I've had for a bit and used before successfully | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: use the 'something else' option at install, you can set the partitions you wnat to use Ubuntu with and what function they will fulfil. Set the '/' partition as being on the SSD | 10:33 |
| wylde | BenNZ, testing it again right now | 10:33 |
| BenNZ | wylde: release file changed perhaps and they need to update the iso's | 10:33 |
| wylde | BenNZ, perhaps. | 10:33 |
| Zerant | hey guys i am trying to ping an ipv6 host with my ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server and allways gets connect: Network is unreachable does someone know this problem? | 10:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ActionParsnip, it's strange that I formated my regular hard-drive from windows yet when I set to boot from it ubuntu still starts | 10:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | grub then ubuntu | 10:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that's mighty strange... | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: you can install grub to the MBR of the SSD if you want | 10:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have a feeling ubuntu is not curently installed on ssd it's taking like 10 seconds to shut down | 10:34 |
| wylde | BenNZ, just selected the Canadian mirror and it's hung on the purple screen | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: pretty normal... | 10:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | windows takes 6 secconds to boot and less to shutdown | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: so? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: my xpud boots in 3 seconds | 10:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it's an indicative that ubuntu is not on ssd | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: Its a totally different OS, it will behave differently | 10:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I was thinking that I install ubuntu on the ssd and keep the other hdd in windows that can be accessed from ubuntu as wel | 10:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | let me see now | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: if you want, put /var and swap on the platter based drive too | 10:37 |
| magdur | test | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !test | magdur | 10:37 |
| ubottu | magdur: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) | 10:37 |
| BenNZ | wylde: ok ive tried the us , aus , nz , fiji and there was another one , all fail at the same place , and youre having trouble with the canadian mirror , my guess is the release file has changed | 10:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ActionParsnip, i don't know what that means :)) | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: you hear abouty people putting /home in a different partition, right? | 10:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I guess | 10:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | But i'd keep it on the ssd to have things run super fast like server or a database | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: if you put /var on a partition on the platter based drive as well as the swap space, you will write less to your SSD and wear it out less | 10:38 |
| wylde | BenNZ, yep. Same issue with the canadian mirror | 10:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Yeah I heard about that | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: the kernel will keep things in RAM that you use a lot, much faster than your slow SSD | 10:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yeah yeah just read a few articles the other day | 10:39 |
| BenNZ | wylde: at least i know its nothing i have(nt) done , its an ubuntu problem | 10:40 |
| wylde | BenNZ, for the record it's a precise mini.iso | 10:40 |
| wylde | BenNZ, i386 | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: if you plan partitions before installing, you'll find it easier | 10:40 |
| BenNZ | wylde: ive tried precise , raring , quantal 32 bit , all fail at the same place , for some reason saucy crashes earlier , but i believe its related | 10:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Well i am installing now, will click the "others" option but I'll need some help there I guess | 10:41 |
| wylde | BenNZ, reasonable assumption I think. | 10:41 |
| BenNZ | wylde: my only other thought was perhaps theyre looking for the medibuntu repo's | 10:42 |
| zetto123 | i have a strange network problem in 13.10 didn't have this problem before. but when i connect to a wireless network with auth. PEAP i get dced all the time and gets really unstable internet. anyone know the solution for this? | 10:42 |
| Denyerec | Which is better performance wise, parsing find results with -exec, or using -print and then xargs? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: id say use -exec, | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | less processes ;) less redundancy | 10:43 |
| wylde | BenNZ, shouldn't matter. I don't think anything the mini iso installs comes from medibuntu | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | medibuntu was never official. so i dont see how any official iso would be using it. | 10:44 |
| Denyerec | While we're here... | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | its also dead | 10:44 |
| Denyerec | I copied some TTF's to /usr/share/fonts/ | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | as in..medibuntu, the repo is disabled | 10:45 |
| Denyerec | now my "ubuntu" top left, and many items in the UI, are non-printing boxes. | 10:45 |
| * wylde nods | 10:45 | |
| cfhowlett | medibuntu is gone. use ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:45 |
| Denyerec | Bear in mind I did not set these fonts for use | 10:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Idk what to do now ActionParsnip :)) | 10:45 |
| Denyerec | just moved them to the fonts folder | 10:45 |
| vikky | i need a portable php apache mysql linux server plz help | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: they overwrote fonts that were llready there? | 10:45 |
| BenNZ | wylde: i didnt think so , but other than that , the release file , cant think of anything else that would cause this | 10:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | there is only one dev/sdc6/ swap 8419mb and 0 used I have no idea wich that one is | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | Nah I checked, they're all fonts I own from Windows, nothing that was on Ubuntu previously. | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | I've done fc-cache -rv just in case | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | no dice | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | Maybe it's the VM glitching out and I should just reoot, | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: i would have put them in the users .fonts directory | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | reboot. | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: sudo fdisk -l will tell you which disk is which | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | I wanted them globally available to all users | 10:46 |
| OerHeks | vikky, install ubuntu server on your usb device ? | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: and there are packages in teh repos to install the ms core fonts | 10:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'm in the ubuntu installer in others now ActionParsnip | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | I have the core fonts. | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | Sadly I wanted a little more than comic sans and times new roman :) | 10:46 |
| Denyerec | (Segoe, Tahoma and Consolas) | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: check the fonts names.. sounds like you overwrote some defaults somehow. | 10:47 |
| vikky | sir i have ana pplication php which i will run on linux | 10:47 |
| vikky | so i will be giving this app to a client | 10:47 |
| Denyerec | The top level /fonts/ folder was empty tho Doc | 10:47 |
| Denyerec | It contained only folders | 10:47 |
| vikky | i need a portable apache mysql web server | 10:47 |
| vikky | which is porta ble | 10:47 |
| Denyerec | so I just popped the TTFs in there alongside said folders | 10:47 |
| racho | zetto123, i think this may be relevant to you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1104476 | 10:48 |
| vikky | does someone has it portable | 10:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1104476 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "Network manager cannot connect to WPA2/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 network without CA_Certificate" [High,Triaged] | 10:48 |
| Denyerec | Just to be sure I'll restart the VM as Unity can freak out inside there sometimes. | 10:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so dev sdb1 ntfs is the platter disk with 1tb size and 3221 used (even though I've formatted it from windows | 10:48 |
| Denyerec | OK yeah it was a VM freakout - apologies for th etime used Dr Willis | 10:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | the other is dev/sdc sdc1 ntffs sd2 ntfs sdc5 ext4 and sdc6 swap | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: ;) | 10:48 |
| Denyerec | Do you know of any decent file managers BTW? | 10:49 |
| Denyerec | I use Diurectory Opus on windows | 10:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so I guess it's installed on the ssd after all but grub is on the platter one? | 10:49 |

| Denyerec | it leaves Nautilus feeling like a box of crayons | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: 'gentoo' is a similer dual pane file manager. theres a few others in teh repos | 10:49 |
| thorin39 | mc the best | 10:49 |
| Denyerec | Cool | 10:49 |
| Denyerec | I shall check out both | 10:49 |
| Denyerec | MC looks like it's cmdline | 10:49 |
| racho | it is | 10:49 |
| Denyerec | if I was happy there, I'd not have bothered with Unity ;) | 10:50 |
| racho | ncurses interfaces | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | of course it is. ;) | 10:50 |

| Denyerec | Very true | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | mc has so many features i bet i dont even know 1/3 of them | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | and ive used it for years | 10:50 |
| Denyerec | I wish Directory Opus was available on Linux. | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: ir ecall some clones to it in the repos. | 10:51 |
| Denyerec | It's hands down the best and most useful peice of software ever conceived. | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall that onmy amiga decades ago. ;) | 10:51 |
| Denyerec | See? | 10:51 |
| Denyerec | Strong legacy. | 10:51 |

| NullVoxPopuli | Hi, I'm having a problem with my graphics, and I need this computer for work. If anyone could help, that would be great. I just upgraded to 13.10, and now lightdm is either black, or goes into low graphics mode. Using onboard motherboard / i5 graphics | 10:55 |
| vikky | im telling u | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: use the apckage manager and search for dual pane file manager. ; | 10:55 |
| Denyerec | plus the launcher bar is cluttered, and autohide doesn;t work | 10:55 |

| vikky | i have a php application | 10:55 |
| Denyerec | I'm installing them all now Dr_Willis | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | NullVoxPopuli: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | theres some package that adds a terminal here... menu item to nautilus | 10:55 |
| vikky | xampp is not portable | 10:55 |
| vikky | i want portable | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | or just use somthing like guake | 10:56 |
| vikky | i will give it to client | 10:56 |
| fahadash | vikky: Why you need a portable server-set ? | 10:56 |
| * ActionParsnip loves guake | 10:56 | |
| vikky | to give app to a client | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: have you asked in #lamp | 10:56 |
| NullVoxPopuli | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 10:56 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what guake? | 10:56 |
| vikky | ya they say they dont have something likt that | 10:56 |
| fahadash | vikky: If its a php web application you can host it and give clients the www address right ? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: drop down terminal, like the tilde menu in Quake. Hides and shows on shortcut key | 10:56 |
| vikky | no sir | 10:57 |
| vikky | i dont want to do that | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | NullVoxPopuli: do you use a switchable gpu (with an nvidia in there too) | 10:57 |
| vikky | i will give a php desktop application | 10:57 |
| fahadash | Its funny, you wanna ship a php web application + mysql database as a desktop application | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | 'php desktop application' sounds sort of.. well.. wrong in my mind... | 10:57 |
| vlt | Hello. I want to install grub on a new disk. I tried `grub-install --recheck /dev/sdc` but I get "/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: your core.img is unusually large.

| racho | vikky, create a virtual image with a LAMP stack copy the .vdi and carry it around on a usb stick | 10:57 |
| fahadash | +1 Dr_Willis | 10:57 |
| NullVoxPopuli | ActionParsnip: Nope, it's a desktop motherboard, with a 3.4GHz i5 (I think that's the speed). I think the onboard graphics are called HD 3000 | 10:57 |
| fahadash | vikky: You should rewrite the application in GTK+ | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | NullVoxPopuli: is the OS fully updated? | 10:58 |
| vikky | racho i didnot understand what u said | 10:58 |
| Denyerec | On windows I used Beyond Compare for diff | 10:58 |
| vikky | plz explain | 10:58 |
| Denyerec | (It;s awesome, by the way) | 10:58 |
| Denyerec | I know there are many, many diff frontends on linux | 10:58 |
| Denyerec | but is one considered "The Best" ? | 10:58 |
| Denyerec | (As BC is on Windows) | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: none | 10:58 |
| vikky | racho : help me | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: there is no single 'best' for anything | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | !best | 10:59 |
| 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. | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | This is the best channe however. ;) | 10:59 |
| Denyerec | Ok so a different approach | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | channel | 10:59 |
| NullVoxPopuli | ActionParsnip: just ran this: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo service lightdm restart; Still low-graphics mode | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: if there was the others would die off as they would not be used as one is best over all | 10:59 |
| Denyerec | Is there a comparable program to Beyond Compare on linux ? | 10:59 |
| vlt | vlt: I think I solved it. I moved the begin of sdc1 a bit further ==> error gone. | 10:59 |
| Wiz_KeeD | fdisk -l didn't work ActionParsnip | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: why not just use diff in CLI | 11:00 |
| Denyerec | OOH OOH | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Wiz_KeeD: you did do a 'sudo fdisk -l' or 'sudo blkid' | 11:00 |
| Denyerec | ActionParsnip - If I was happy in the CLI I wouldn't bother with Ubuntu. | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !find colordiff | 11:00 |
| ubottu | Found: colordiff | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: saying 'didnt work' tells us nothing at all | 11:00 |
| Denyerec | Turns out Beyond Compare has a linux build! | 11:00 |
| Denyerec | Happy days :D | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: man up and learn the cli. ;) | 11:00 |

| Dr_Willis | vikky: the idea of making a 'portable' php app. is just a bit weird. people are saying set up a mini system that runs in a VM to handle it. | 11:01 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, I'm using just the internal intel one. I /had/ a GPU, but I disconnected it, as NVidia causes problems a lot of the time, and I wanted to eliminate drivers being the issue | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: I had no idea about this, yet using the power of websearching I found that file | 11:01 |
| Denyerec | Didn't think you could run .debs on ubuntu? | 11:02 |
| Denyerec | I downloaded the tar source to build | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Denyerec: err.. ubuntu uses .debs | 11:02 |
| Denyerec | Oh | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | edgars: you dont run debs, you install them | 11:02 |
| Denyerec | Colour me silly | 11:02 |
| Denyerec | I was thinking of RPM | 11:02 |
| Denyerec | :) | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: how do you think you get updated? | 11:02 |

| vikky | Dr_Willis ,sir i want to have a server like server2go(it is for windows) | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | HisaoNakai: you read too far between the lines | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | vikky: never heard of it.. neer used it.. | 11:03 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho: I turned off the PCI slot that the gtx 650 is attached to. The monitor wouldn't turn on otherwise. I can only use the graphics card OR the motherboard DVI port. it doesn't let me use both | 11:03 |
| Denyerec | ActionParsnip - I was confusing it with RPM as they supply one of those also. | 11:04 |
| Denyerec | I am aware of yum, apt, etc. | 11:04 |
| ntg-work | my add a new printer button is greyed out, are there any packages that i need to install ? | 11:04 |
| Denyerec | But had to wrestle with RPM's at my last workplace. | 11:04 |
| wylde | vikky, make a bootable usb with persistance and install the lamp stack there? Just a thought. | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: apt uses deb files.... | 11:04 |
| Denyerec | Just got my brain crosswired. | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ntg-work: try the cups web interface? | 11:04 |
| Denyerec | I know | 11:04 |
| Denyerec | I am trying to relate to you | 11:04 |
| ntg-work | Dr_Willis: cups web interface? I'll look into that | 11:04 |
| Denyerec | That I am aware of this, and you have jumped on simple confusion. | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: well they make debs, so you are good :) | 11:04 |
| Denyerec | :) | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: i recommend you learn how to use diff, you will be able to use a standard command then, in any UNIX / Linux system as diff is diff. | 11:05 |
| HisaoNakai | vikky: You're probably looking at apache, lighttd or nginx. Read the documentation at library.linode.com . howtoforge.com is also useful at times. duckduckgo the rest. Any problems, ask on IRC :) | 11:05 |
| ntg-work | Dr_Willis: ooh sexy, thank you. | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: rather then some GUI app which may not be available | 11:05 |
| Denyerec | I can struggle by on the cmdline for simple stuff | 11:05 |
| Denyerec | but 3 way merges from Git on cmdline is pure hell fo rme | 11:05 |
| Denyerec | THe vimdiff interface is atrocious | 11:06 |
| Denyerec | That's why I got BeyondCompare in the first place :) | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Denyerec: it limits your skills, using standard apps means more transferable ability. Your choice though | 11:06 |
| killer | hey , where is the location of .deb packages (that are installed on system) | 11:07 |
| Denyerec | Sometimes you need to merge the code and move on, rather than learn a new language :) | 11:07 |
| Denyerec | (I do appreciate your point, however) | 11:07 |
| vikky | HisaoNakai, Sir i want to have a server2go like server | 11:07 |
| Dr_Willis | killer: no where.. unless they are cached in /var/cache/apt/ | 11:07 |
| vikky | server2go is for windows | 11:08 |
| vikky | it didnt need any installation | 11:08 |
| killer | Dr_Willis: exactly , thanx | 11:08 |
| HisaoNakai | vikky: That means it was pre installed. Everything has to be installed lol | 11:08 |

| vikky | no sir | 11:10 |
| HisaoNakai | vikky: Heh, same. Use the guides on library.linode.com . a quick fix solution is unlikely to help here... | 11:10 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, i suppose it has something to do with .Xauthority but i never had this issue. you may try to purge lightdm and then reinstall it | 11:12 |
| vikky | HisaoNakai, have u done some research on it | 11:12 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, I'll give that a go. one sec | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | you can remove the .Xauthority file and let it get remade if its an issue | 11:12 |

| grimeton | vikky: E_WRONG_LANGUAGE | 11:15 |
| vikky | i want portable web server?? | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | !hi | 11:15 |
| vikky | for linux includingn php,mysql | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | and no one in here seems to have seen one for linux vikky | 11:15 |

| NullVoxPopuli | oh yeah | 11:16 |
| vikky | :( | 11:16 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, I'm getting a ton of you have held broken packages errors. | 11:16 |
| wylde | vikky, you're not going to find a drop in. Have you made any attempts using the suggestions you were given? | 11:16 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, I tried installing gdm, said I needed gnome-shell first.. .but it is not going to be installed | 11:16 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, i tried installing gnome-shell, it listed 6 other dependencies that aren't going to be installed | 11:17 |
| NullVoxPopuli | :-( | 11:17 |
| vikky | i made aatempts for portable apache | 11:17 |
| vikky | but nothing worked | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | NullVoxPopuli: are they from a PPA by any chance? | 11:17 |
| vikky | path is the main problem | 11:17 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, can you re-install lightdm? | 11:17 |
| vikky | path and permission in ubuntu are problems | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: never had an issue | 11:18 |
| NullVoxPopuli | ActionParsnip, maybe? maybe not? I thought everything came from a ppa? | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | the idea that 'portable apps' on linux . are i think the core of the problem | 11:18 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, yeah, I already did a purge and reinstall of lightdm, no dice | 11:18 |
| === jwheare_ is now known as jwheare | ||
| vikky | thats why i have raised this problem | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | NullVoxPopuli: no, the normal updates come from repositories, those are the official packags made by canonical | 11:18 |
| vikky | if u have one portable server plz give me | 11:18 |
| vikky | i have tried all | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | NullVoxPopuli: PPAs are packages made by some guy on his PC and published to a PPA | 11:19 |
| grimeton | vikky: define "portable" | 11:19 |
| vikky | its in windows but not for buntu | 11:19 |
| vikky | portable means once i give this app to anyone | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: i dont know what a portable server is | 11:19 |
| === SunTsu_ is now known as SunTsu | ||
| vikky | it will run no configuration nothing required | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: by definition, servers stay still and users connect to them | 11:19 |
| grimeton | vikky: you want a virtualization solution | 11:19 |
| vikky | portable server is once downloaded run | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: why would you want a portable server?> | 11:19 |
| grimeton | vikky: e.g. an image for virtual box or something | 11:19 |
| vikky | to sell my app without clients work | 11:19 |
| vikky | i can give virtual box image | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: yes apache and sql do that, post install the services are told to run, as well as being added to the startup of the system so they run at bootup | 11:20 |
| vikky | server2go is there but for windows | 11:20 |
| grimeton | problem solved | 11:20 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, can you dump the whole lightdm.log | 11:20 |
| vikky | my quseion is is there a server2go like for linux | 11:20 |
| * Dr_Willis imagines how easially a 'portable' app would break... | 11:20 | |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: then they need to install the service on the system, then you add the service data | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | vikky: checked on askubuntu.com yet ? | 11:21 |
| === christian is now known as Guest18871 | ||
| vikky | action , this thing is already done in server2go | 11:21 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, and ActionParsnip: I'm removing all my extra ppas (wayland daily, ricotz-testing-saucy, ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates, xorg-edgers | 11:21 |
| === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers | ||
| ActionParsnip | vikky: the services you are talking about are in pretty much every mainstream Linux distribution, so they can install the service then copy in your data | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: I cant see a single issue here | 11:21 |
| grimeton | vikky: distribute server2go inside a virtualbox windows image - problem solved ;) hrr hrr | 11:21 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, you're on 13.10? why do you keep xorg-edgers if you don't have a discrete gpu | 11:22 |
| vikky | man the problem is that | 11:22 |
| ObrienDave | OMG I just HAD to play with the "make it look like Win7" stuff. dummy me LOL | 11:22 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, yeah, I'll dump teh lightdm log in a few. also, for xorg-edgers, i was trying /everything/ yesterday | 11:22 |
| wylde | meh, learn to package, include the lmap stack as dependency, and a post install script that installs your webapp, corrects perms and sets the appropriate settings in the lamp stack. Package is and have an installable .deb | 11:22 |
| vikky | the server will run some linux programs too | 11:22 |
| vikky | now tell me | 11:22 |
| vikky | this server will run programs from linux | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: yes, install the services and then import your data, done | 11:22 |
| vikky | actionparsnip | 11:22 |
| vikky | will my client do that | 11:23 |
| vikky | 'i want one click to go and nothing else | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | 'linux programs' is a bit vague | 11:23 |
| vikky | it is product not for my friend | 11:23 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho: paste.ubuntu.com/6294377/ | 11:23 |
| vikky | i want just a server2go like for linux | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: then you can make a deb, with the services as dependancies | 11:23 |
| grimeton | vikky: you want to distribute a virtualized linux image | 11:23 |
| wylde | vikky, then write one? | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | vikky: i doubt if 'one click and it goes' is going to happen with out a lot of work on your part | 11:23 |
| Ben64 | "portable server" and "server2go" are vague too | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: do you think people running MS SQl server have this? Or Windows IIS web servers? | 11:24 |
| vikky | ok let me explain whole problem | 11:24 |
| grimeton | maybe an ootb linux container | 11:24 |
| vikky | i have dep packages | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: no, they install the sevrice then the devs import their data, is completely normal | 11:24 |
| vikky | i will install them on client machine | 11:24 |
| vikky | and the software installed will be rujn with help opg web gui | 11:24 |
| vikky | plz state if there is a server | 11:24 |
| vikky | or if i can make one | 11:24 |
| vikky | withut any virtual thing | 11:24 |
| Ben64 | could you define "rujn with help opg web gui" | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: yes, install lamp as always, it will give you the server | 11:24 |
| vikky | lampp is not portable | 11:25 |
| vikky | what are u talking about | 11:25 |
| vikky | i have used it | 11:25 |
| vikky | i tried to make it portable but nothing happened | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: unless the server does not have web access (unlikely) it will be able to install the packages needed via their package sources | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: won't they | 11:25 |
| vikky | i will be giving debs for other softwares | 11:25 |
| wylde | vikky, then package your "web app". Seriously. http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html | 11:25 |
| vikky | and my gui will operate them | 11:25 |
| Ben64 | 1. what do you mean by "portable" 2. why do you need it "portable" | 11:25 |
| vikky | easy for client | 11:26 |
| ObrienDave | vikky... do you mean something like install the server on a USB stick? | 11:26 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, now that I've cleared my extra ppas, I can install gdm | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: why not use the package repos, like normal installs of any packages? | 11:26 |
| vikky | my god portable is for making client ease | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: lots easier | 11:26 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, can you also dump /var/log/lightdm/x-1-greeter.log | 11:26 |
| vikky | usb stick is good | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | 'portable' means differnt things to everyone in here. | 11:26 |
| vikky | but what when my client installs on machine | 11:26 |
| vikky | thats main problem | 11:26 |
| Ben64 | i can pick up my desktop computer, move it to another room. that is portable | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: using the web is much easier and will be sure it is the latest version available to the distribution | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: you are fixing a non-existant problem | 11:27 |
| vikky | portable means it is a webserver that can run directly from cdrom without installation | 11:27 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, gdm actually got me into my desktop... so.. that's good. I'll get you that file though. I'm still curious why lightdm doesn't work | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | then you wouldebnt be supplying it as a .deb if it was portable | 11:27 |
| wylde | vikky, if you simply learn to package your "web app" as a .deb. The all you need to carry is the mywebapp.deb as long as you package with the lamp stack as a dependency. | 11:27 |
| Ben64 | why would you possibly need to run a websever from cd | 11:28 |
| ObrienDave | because she wants to? | 11:28 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, i guess it may be some version/package clash between official packages and ppa packages | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like a huge security hole also. | 11:28 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, one of the biggest offenders is X | 11:28 |
| NullVoxPopuli | I hate X | 11:28 |
| vikky | ok | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | its just dumb, what is the customer uses Puppy? or gentoo? How will you run it from there? | 11:29 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho, I can't wait for Mir or Wayland to actually get some traction | 11:29 |
| vikky | now i have web app in php | 11:29 |
| vikky | im not hosting it | 11:29 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, soon we'll all bask in Wayland | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: its not feasible to take into account all eventualities | 11:29 |
| vikky | thats the main problem | 11:29 |
| * wylde *sigh* | 11:29 | |
| vikky | thats what im asking | 11:29 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, i actually run wayland no | 11:29 |
| racho | *now | 11:29 |
| vikky | the problem is that i want a server2go | 11:29 |
| vikky | plz if anyone knows that tell me | 11:29 |
| NullVoxPopuli | racho: I tried doing that yesterday, but I ended up not getting anywhere. | 11:29 |
| vikky | or if u dont see server2go | 11:29 |
| vikky | i want that type of server | 11:30 |
| vikky | Server2go a portable web server | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: the OS you are using is far and above more complex then WIndows, You can knock this all on the head by having the services install on a server | 11:30 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, i'm on fedora 20.. don't know what is the situation in ubuntu land | 11:30 |
| Ben64 | or write the application better so it doesn't need a webserver to function... | 11:30 |
| vikky | ActionParsnip i will do as u say | 11:30 |
| NullVoxPopuli | I think ubuntu things are a little /too/ tightly integrated with one another | 11:30 |
| vikky | just fullfill what i want | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: as this will install for whatever distribution and architecture they are using | 11:30 |
| NullVoxPopuli | I may be swiching to Arch at somepoint... so.. idk | 11:30 |
| vikky | i want my client one click and run app | 11:30 |
| humanoids | hi | 11:31 |
| wylde | vikky, no one has seen it. You're either going to have to search for it, or write one yourself. | 11:31 |
| vikky | one lcik app starts now tell me | 11:31 |
| vikky | ok | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: then make one for WIndows... | 11:31 |
| humanoids | i tried to start unreal and it needs libsdl | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | for Linxu | 11:31 |
| vikky | thats what u would have said earlier | 11:31 |
| vikky | ok bye | 11:31 |
| ntg-work | vikky: you want to make an app that uses a webserver? | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: with all the architectures, for all distributions/ | 11:31 |
| humanoids | then i tried to get to install the ia32libs but it won't work | 11:31 |
| vikky | lots of problem solved | 11:31 |
| vikky | bye | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | vikky: ood luck | 11:31 |
| NullVoxPopuli | oh, whaddaya know. I just found an article saying lightdm and gnome don't work together in 13.10 | 11:31 |
| NullVoxPopuli | great | 11:31 |
| NullVoxPopuli | lol | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | NullVoxPopuli: Hmm.. cant say ive noticed any issues.. been using them since beta | 11:32 |
| NullVoxPopuli | hmm | 11:32 |
| racho | NullVoxPopuli, did you have the gnome ppa activated? | 11:32 |
| NullVoxPopuli | in 13.04, yeah | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | i might be using GDM to launch both however.. im not sure what i got going right now | 11:32 |
| NullVoxPopuli | the upgrade removed a bunch of my ppas | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | NullVoxPopuli: then tahts why | 11:32 |
| racho | 13.04 and 13.10 use gnome 3.8 but afaik the gnome ppa is set to 3.10 | 11:32 |
| racho | so expect the unexpected | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | NullVoxPopuli: you can get gnome-shell from the Ubuntu repos | 11:33 |
| racho | ^ this. remove the ppa and sync the gnome packages with the official repos | 11:33 |
| ObrienDave | NullVoxPopuli... they aren't removed, just disabled | 11:34 |
| racho | humanoids, then install libsdl | 11:34 |
| humanoids | its installed but only the 64bit | 11:35 |
| racho | you can install the 32bit besides it | 11:35 |
| Ben64 | humanoids: which "unreal" are you starting | 11:35 |
| humanoids | unreal | 11:35 |
| Ben64 | yeah... which | 11:35 |
| humanoids | unreal 99 (not tournament) | 11:35 |
| Ben64 | if you put :i386 after the package name, it'll get the 32 bit version | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | humanoids: M-M-M-M-Monster kill! | 11:36 |
| humanoids | no monster kill | 11:36 |
| humanoids | its not tournament | 11:37 |
| humanoids | its unreal return to napali | 11:37 |
| racho | unreal + return to na pali | 11:37 |
| humanoids | coop not that stupid death match thing | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | head Shot!? ;) | 11:38 |
| racho | back in the days when pentium 2 was a mean machine :) | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Yep. | 11:39 |
| grimeton | yeah, dual p2 | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | I got some of the old Unreal games as part of a Steam Collection pack. | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | So this is an open sourced project you are refering to? | 11:40 |
| ObrienDave | my first PC was a 286 25Mhz LOL | 11:40 |
| grimeton | 286 that fast? really? | 11:40 |
| humanoids | my first computer? a zx spectrum | 11:41 |
| racho | mine was pentium 2 MMX 350 with a voodoo banshee....great times back then | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | humanoids: I still have one of those.. hanging on the wall. | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | oh wait. thats a timex sinclare. ;) | 11:42 |
| humanoids | i still use z80 computer | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | microwave oven, ;) | 11:42 |
| ObrienDave | Dr_Willis... i bought one of those LMAO | 11:42 |
| humanoids | nah TNC | 11:43 |
| zexcriz | what is virtualhost ? | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | CP/M ! ;) | 11:43 |
| grimeton | Terminal Node Controller | 11:43 |
| iceroot | zexcriz: sounds like apache2 | 11:43 |
| === andyc is now known as Guest37774 | ||
| grimeton | humanoids: are the basic ones still made with z80s? | 11:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | zexcriz: that's a question better asked in #httpd | 11:44 |
| zexcriz | ok | 11:44 |
| Juan22 | org | 11:44 |
| humanoids | grimeton i don't know maybe TNC2 based ones | 11:44 |
| humanoids | today they are used for APRS | 11:45 |
| grimeton | humanoids: last time i remember the tnc2s have been discontinued and they switched to smaller structures | 11:45 |
| lesshaste | when I save something as eps from gimp the quality is terrible. How can you make it "full quality" | 11:46 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: modify the quality settings before you store the picture? | 11:46 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, how do you do that? I have it opennow | 11:46 |
| humanoids | grimeton those from symek? | 11:46 |
| wylde | lesshaste, I bet #gimp would know | 11:47 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: go on save as and then a dialogue should open op | 11:47 |
| grimeton | humanoids: eww, it's at least 15 years ago ... don't remember | 11:47 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, save as doesn't give sensible options.. only export | 11:47 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, I mean export lists eps but save doesn't | 11:47 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: then use that ;) | 11:47 |
| grimeton | i wonder if the gimp on os x is that different | 11:47 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, there are no quality options | 11:48 |
| humanoids | no its like linux | 11:48 |
| lesshaste | wylde, sadly they are asleep or dead :) | 11:48 |
| ObrienDave | *correction* my first PC was a 386 25Mhz LOL | 11:49 |
| ObrienDave | IBM compatable, that is | 11:50 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: hm, i get a postscript dialog where i can seet multiple stuff | 11:50 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, anything related to quality? | 11:50 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, I get things like rotation | 11:50 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, and if I want a preview | 11:50 |
| RarrikinsRarriki | How do I randomize my computer's DHCP name? | 11:51 |
| === RarrikinsRarriki is now known as Rarrikins | ||
| grimeton | lesshaste: when i look at the exported eps at the same size the original png was the quality isn't really nice - you're right | 11:51 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: and i don't see anything regarding to quality options | 11:51 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, :( | 11:51 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, google doesn't help me either with this | 11:52 |
| vlt | Hello. After rebooting and logging in my volume control is back to really hurting 100%. How can I fix this? | 11:52 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: did you try libmagick? | 11:53 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: convert command? | 11:53 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, yes.. same problem | 11:54 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: looks like it's a postscript problem then ? | 11:54 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, I don't think so | 11:54 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, postscript can just contain the raw bitmap wrapped up in principle | 11:54 |
| bagz | hey , I'm trying to kill wpa_supplicant, but each time i try it respawns autmotically, is there any process that could be restarting it? | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vlt: i recall seeing mention of some cli tools at askubuntu.com that can 'save' the mixer state. | 11:55 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: hm | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vlt: someone was asking about it last week i recall seeing askbuntu.com showing several ways to set the levels at boot time | 11:55 |
| wylde | bagz, I would suspect network manager | 11:56 |
| Dr_Willis | vlt: somthing like alsactrl store/restore | 11:57 |
| bagz | wylde, thanks | 11:57 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 11:57 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: maybe this is the key: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1190558 | 11:57 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, it doesn't really contain any information | 11:58 |
| grimeton | lesshaste: it tells you that gimp is the wrong tool for the job | 11:58 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, that's just unhelpful in this case | 11:59 |
| lesshaste | grimeton, It's a picture.. someone else needs it in eps. End of stroy | 12:00 |

| rossmoore | Hi. I'm looking for some support with installing Ubuntu. I'm an experienced user of Ubuntu, but the 13.10 DVD simply will not even boot | 12:07 |
| rossmoore | Is this a widespread problem? | 12:07 |
| k1l | rossmoore: no. make sure the md5 is right in first place | 12:08 |
| rossmoore | md5 is definitely correct | 12:08 |
| rossmoore | I have tried grub n iso, usb stick and dvd | 12:08 |
| rossmoore | and have double-checked the md5 | 12:08 |
| rossmoore | the system is currently running 13.04 | 12:08 |
| vlt | Which key (combination) opens the shutdown dialog on Ubuntu 13.10 Unity? | 12:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmoore: in what way exactly will it not boot? does it get skipped over by the bios? | 12:09 |
| rossmoore | i have 5 drives on the machine, I've seen a hint somewhere that multiple drives might be a problem | 12:09 |
| k1l | rossmoore: no thats not a problem | 12:09 |
| rossmoore | it dumps me to initramfs right about 5 seconds after choosing "try ubuntu without installing" | 12:09 |
| rossmoore | or indeed "install ubuntu now" | 12:10 |
| k1l | rossmoore: maybe you need special kernelmodules. | 12:10 |
| k1l | !nomodereset | rossmoore | 12:10 |
| rossmoore | i've just a core i3 (sandy bridge) | 12:10 |
| rossmoore | gigabyte motherboard. nothing unusual | 12:10 |
| rossmoore | try nomodereset as a grub kernel option? | 12:10 |

| ubottu | rossmoore: 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 | 12:11 |
| k1l | hitsujiTMO: thanks :) | 12:11 |
| rossmoore | will give that a go right now | 12:12 |
| rossmoore | didn't expect to need that, just using on-board intel graphics. all open source | 12:12 |
| rossmoore | nope | 12:14 |
| rossmoore | right back at initramfs | 12:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmoore: i would try backing up your system and then perform a do-release-upgrade | 12:16 |
| rossmoore | k1l thanks for the nomodeset idea, but no luck | 12:16 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: thanks. that's where I started. | 12:17 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: Tried a do-release-upgrade. That bombed due to unspecified package problems, so I figured I back up and start again. Only to find, to my shock, that I couldn't even do that. | 12:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmoore: whats the exact model of your motherboard. i would report it as a bug, as it appears the kernel has dropped support for some device you are using | 12:19 |

| jasic | auronandace, why sir? | 12:20 |
| gvo | auronandace: Is anything replacing it? | 12:20 |

| auronandace | jasic: then you are talking to the wrong person, i don't use wubi nor recommend it | 12:24 |
| jasic | ok , so anyother guys there , installing Ubuntu using WUBI ?? | 12:24 |
| mjayk | ActionParsnip: im using "Disks" I also get the same error when I right click in file browser and format, would you recomment I try gparted? | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jasic: wubi is awful, its also not advised under Windows8 | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | mjayk: is the partition to format unmounted? | 12:25 |
| jasic | ActionParsnip, while I install WUBI, it downloads the files ,which it shouldn't ,I just downloaded 13.10 iso ... wanted to install using WUBI ... :p | 12:25 |
| jasic | ActionParsnip, I don | 12:25 |
| mjayk | ActionParsnip: fixed it sfdisk --force /dev/sdc | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | jasic: if you put the ISO in the same folder as the wubi ISO, is it used? | 12:25 |
| mjayk | ActionParsnip: it was the --force that made it work | 12:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmoore: i'm unsure as you are booting a RO file system at this point. https://wiki.debian.org/InitramfsDebug might help | 12:26 |

| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: Just noticed something as it boots: "Error root variable isn't set" flashes up briefly | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jasic: I recommend you resize NTFS, boot to an Ubuntu install media and install to the freed space | 12:29 |
| jasic | ActionParsnip, I know , but I don't have USB currently | 12:29 |
| jasic | neither a blank dvd :p | 12:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmore: seems like its not detecting or setting the root filesystem from the live usb. | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jasic: if you download the wubi.exe as a separate file and put it in the same folder as the ISO file, it will be used | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jasic: wubi is not a long term solution and is a try-before-you-buy at best | 12:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmoore: are you using a usb image or the dvd itself? | 12:31 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: yup. I'm using a DVD at this point, as the least likely to have some quirk (IMHO). The root filesystem should therefore be just the DVD | 12:31 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: Burned the DVD with brasero just now. | 12:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmoore: what filesystem was the usb when you tried it? | 12:31 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: with USB the filesystem was fat32 | 12:32 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: OK, by passing the debug boot parameter I can get access to some kind of initramfs debug log (mentioned in that link you sent me) | 12:34 |
| williamcarswell | hey | 12:34 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: I can't figure out how to "scroll" through it, but the last few lines say "no iti found. Try passing init= bootarg" | 12:35 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: sorry "no init found." etc. seems related to the root argument message before. | 12:36 |

| jasic | moppy, Is Debian a LFS ? | 12:42 |
| cfhowlett | !debian|jasic, | 12:42 |
| ubottu | jasic,: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 12:42 |
| moppy | jasic: think you need #debian | 12:43 |
| jasic | moppy, why debian repo doesn't work in Ubuntu ?? | 12:43 |
| pablo_ | there is a GPL driver for the gma3600 ? I founded only the proprietary intel driver. Pls answer me | 12:43 |
| moppy | jasic: this isn't debian | 12:44 |

| * cfhowlett ... feels a disturbance in the force and gets his trollbat ready | 12:46 | |

| linuxuz3r | ActionParsnip, | 12:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmoore: fraid not. have not seen that issue before | 12:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmoore: well, you could possilby try booting manually from the grub prompt, if you know how | 12:51 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: choose the hard drive partitions like (hd0,msdos2)? there's no problem booting the existing system | 12:52 |
| docmur | I'm having really annoying issues with Ubuntu 12.04 and up deuathenticating from my enterprise wireless. The wireless is WPA-EPA, PEAP, MSCHAPV2 and I have the Cert. I can connect to it but then it will drop and reauth and continue this over and over. I've tried wpa-supplicant and I see the exact same repsonse. | 12:53 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: I can do that, but I still can't successfully bring up the DVD | 12:53 |
| JWFoxJr | docmur: I had a similiar problem - try changing the channel on the infrastructure AP - you might be experiencing interference. That was what solved my issue. | 12:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | rossmore: does the dvd show up if you type ls at grub prompt at all? | 12:56 |
| jasic | moppy, is the kernel of Ubuntu modified from Debian or not ? | 12:58 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: how would it help if it did? [sorry, stepped away from that computer for a few minutes] | 12:58 |
| Pricey | jasic: Yes. | 12:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | could allow you to manually boot if whatever is detecting the dvd in the grub config is not working | 12:59 |
| jasic | Pricey, where is the kernel files present in the filesystem? | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: not something I use, | 13:00 |
| moppy | jasic: my understanding is the kernel is configured with different options | 13:00 |
| moppy | jasic: /boot and /lib/modules | 13:01 |

| linuxuz3r | ActionParsnip, ok | 13:02 |
| docmur | Whats the best way to set my channel? | 13:02 |
| linuxuz3r | docmur, what client | 13:03 |
| docmur | I prefer network-manger but I can also use wpa_supplicant | 13:04 |
| JWFoxJr | docmur: I guess it depends on who the AP mfg is. If it's enterprise AP like Cisco you could probably google how. | 13:05 |
| JWFoxJr | docmur: you don't want to set the channel from client side. | 13:05 |
| docmur | I think the channel auto selection might be causing my wifi issue | 13:06 |
| JWFoxJr | docmur: That could possibly be. I hadn't thought of that. | 13:06 |
| docmur | basically I'm authenticating / disauthenticating over and over to the enterprise wifi, PEAP, MSCHAPV2 WPA-EPA CCMP. | 13:07 |
| linuxuz3r | oh i thought you mean irc client | 13:07 |
| docmur | oh no lol wifi channel, sorry | 13:08 |
| rossmoore | hitsujiTMO: doesn't seem like it can't detect the dvd. It gets to the grub entry in dvd, then successully starts _something_ on the dvd using that grub entry | 13:10 |
| rossmoore | it's just that _something_ isn't functioning properly. | 13:10 |

| Scrivener | Yo, so I made the mistake of upgrading to 13.10... :P Hi all! | 13:55 |
| Scrivener | I'm on a Thinkpad T430 with Intel HD4000 graphics, and I am attempting to use 2 external monitors in addition to my laptop's screen. | 13:55 |
| Scrivener | Under Ubuntu 13.04 this worked brilliantly. No problems. I upgraded to 13.10 last night, come into work, and discover the error message "Could not set the configuration for CTRC65" | 13:56 |
| Scrivener | I discovered this post: http://askubuntu.com/questions/195812/2-external-displays-on-thinkpad-t430s-with-hd4000-graphics | 13:57 |
| Scrivener | Which seems to claim that 3 displays on the HD4000 is not workable in the real world, but I know this can't be true, as I was just doing it for the past several months without any problems. | 13:57 |
| kristenbb | Otak could you help me a bit further with my networking issue please ? | 13:57 |
| Scrivener | Only after I upgraded did this break (along with other sundry errors on different things... I may end up having to do a re-install of 13.04, ugh) | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Scrivener: why not do a clean install of 13.10? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Scrivener: 13.04 is EOL in January 2014. | 13:59 |
| Scrivener | ActionParsnip, I could try a clean install of 13.10, but I was hoping to avoid the arduous process of setting up my development environment again. | 14:00 |
| Scrivener | Luckily I've documented most of it, but still... | 14:00 |
| Scrivener | Is that what's needed to get 3 displays working again? | 14:01 |
| Scrivener | I'm sorta regretting trying 13.10 instead of waiting on 14.04 when I had an OS that worked :P | 14:01 |
| Scrivener | "If it ain't broke" and all that. | 14:01 |
| jpds | Scrivener: For a work laptop, use 12.04 LTS. ;-) | 14:01 |
| Scrivener | jpds, Well I found that 13.04 worked just fine :) Meh though. Nobody familiar with this display issue? | 14:02 |
| Scrivener | I'm *at* work and need to get working... I should've known better :P | 14:02 |

| saiarcot895 | moppy: the default one, yes | 14:41 |
| theadmin | Edgar_: OR, you can do the partitioning manually from the installer, then you need to create a partition for / with type ext2/ext3/ext4 (or btrfs though I'd recommend against this), and one for swap, and maybe for /home (also ext2/3/4/btrfs) | 14:41 |
| Edgar_ | OK I will try that. Do you mean that the installer will repartition and reformat my hard-drive? | 14:41 |
| moppy | i have a question about using Empathy with multiple PCs | 14:41 |
| theadmin | Edgar_: Yeah, it's full automated. It also detects already-installed operating systems and sets up dual boot. | 14:42 |
| k1l | empathy is a client, not a server, moppy | 14:42 |

| saiarcot895 | moppy: IM programs don't sync across multiple PCs; if you are signed in at multiple locations, the defined behavior is up to the IM server/messaging protocol | 14:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | moppy: the issue is if the protocol can handle concurrent logins, not the client | 14:47 |
| verses_ | in fact, when I landed up on the xfce the very first time I saw it's terminal the way it is now. | 14:47 |

| saiarcot895 | cebor: openjdk7 is open source and includes nearly everything in Oracle's JDK 7 | 14:48 |
| elijah | theadmin: what is a superior WM? | 14:48 |

| moppy | Yea Im aware its the protocol, i was just asking if some programs took 3rd party steps to get around it. I see from your answers you dont know of any so i assume there isnt one, unless i us a cloud service or a plugin to get it to sync over irc or something | 14:49 |
| verses_ | let me check then. | 14:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | mouzz: the the conf in that dir is a symlink, not the actual conf, just symlink to where it the conf is | 14:49 |
| theadmin | elijah: Basically... Ubuntu's default window manager, Unity, can into very tiny amount of actual window management tasks... There are other window managers, which can do a lot more, like auto-tiling, etc. But they can be pretty complicated to configure. | 14:49 |
| Mouzz | hitsujiTMO: I know. I'm in the mods-available dir. | 14:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | mouzz: its prob in /etc/php5/ | 14:49 |
| verses_ | theadmin, you were right , surprisingly. | 14:49 |
| saiarcot895 | cebor: I don't know about font rendering problems in JDK 6, but I would simply recommend to use JDK 7 for the security fixes | 14:50 |
| theadmin | verses_: Well that's weird | 14:50 |
| verses_ | just removed the "use system colors" and I get white screen with a prompt , ugh | 14:50 |

| verses_ | thanks theadmin | 14:50 |
| theadmin | elijah: Ah, there must be a way to do this with compiz. | 14:50 |
| elijah | theadmin: there was a gui program I could use to target the window to get the actual window name, I was then able to make the window "on all workspaces" and "always on top" in that case. | 14:51 |

You can then provide additional information (e.g. /var/log/apt/history.log or your sources.list or output of "apt-get dist-upgrade" and so on) that would allow people to help you. fwiw, you might get better support in #ubuntu-server. | 15:03 |

| user_ | i heard some people having trouble with suspend using chromebooks as well | 15:21 |

| slipp3d | that is how ubuntu works ... you install a service it opens the ports that service needs | 15:21 |
| theadmin | Patero-ng: Open ports aren't a bad thing... They're only a problem if some malicious software is opening them. | 15:21 |
| malinus | so, figuring out where stuff got installed, any ideas? | 15:22 |

| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: hmmm, Nvidia should have other drivers | 15:22 |
| slipp3d | if you want to leave openssh installed Patero-ng ... just change the port to a really high number and you should be fine | 15:22 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: just type the person's name, like you did | 15:22 |

| deitarion | My brother just bought a new system and we're trying to set up an nVidia+Steam stack but, with all driver versions tried, there's an unpredictable chance that it'll boot to the terminal and the binary drivers will have wedged X11 so strongly that, unless we `killall lightdm` first, it'll get stuck trying to shut down. | 15:49 |
| Gallomimia | ah i thought you meant you were unable to. you mean you cannot due to something running | 15:50 |

| Patero-ng | lotuspsychje: can I play multiplayer with that game | 15:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Patero-ng: dont think so, it seems to be asci in terminal against computer | 15:50 |
| deitarion | Does this sound familiar to anyone? I've been having trouble getting relevant results out of Google due to how new this card is. | 15:50 |
| Gallomimia | easy enough to fix in open source environment | 15:51 |
| jasic | clefebvre_, hello clem how are you ?? | 15:51 |
| Gallomimia | deitarion: what seems familiar is linus torvalds giving nVidia the finger for not supporting the linux environment enough and causing problems like that | 15:51 |

Ever since I tried running Firefox with pasuspender to gather data on why his Flash audio might be stuttering, he's had no sound because his pavucontrol keeps flickering between speakers and headphones, forcing a ALSA mixer mute each time it happens. | 16:12 |

| Ubnoobtu | saiar895: So, I have a question. What drivers am I using>? | 16:13 |
| deitarion | I don't know how to fix that. Ripping PulseAudio out of my system is coded into the post-installer setup script I always run on my systems. (I'd do it on his too since it causes latency in LMMS but, at the ALSA level, his system sets the S/PDIF output as default and I don't know how to change that without writing a whole new asoundrc.) | 16:14 |
| k1l | Patero-ng: what does ubuntu server has to do with it? | 16:14 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: I'm guessing the open-source Nouveau drivers, but can you open Terminal and type in "dpkg -l | grep nvidia"? | 16:15 |

| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: try that one. | 16:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Gallomimia, yes sir it is! | 16:26 |
| Gallomimia | if it flickers under both OS's you have one of three things wrong: possibly some software in the GPU and board is messed up. Possibly something in your bios is messed up. Most likely there's a hardware problem and you should return it. Seek hardware testing suites to look | 16:26 |
| Ubnoobtu | how would I find out how to open the settings once I do that. I have a hard time remember what each command is to open up those menus | 16:26 |
| tubaguy_ | Is there a way to allow a user to restart a service, but not added it to sudoers? | 16:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Gallomimia, they updated the bios btw! at the warranty | 16:26 |
| tubaguy_ | add* | 16:26 |
| Gallomimia | Patero-ng: yes. it's dpkg. read the manual and find out how to list all installed packages. it should have an option to list by install date | 16:27 |
| Gallomimia | tubaguy_: sudoers can probably let you restrict the commands each group of "sudo" capable users is allowed to do | 16:27 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: you can just hit the start key, type in "Software", and either "Software & Updates" or "Software Sources" should come up. | 16:27 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: from there, you can enable or disable proprietary drivers | 16:28 |
| tubaguy_ | Gallomimia: I have this in visudo: username ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/php5-fpm | 16:28 |
| Gallomimia | Wiz_KeeD: if that's something that has changed since your last "working" state of this computer, then you should look into that very strongly. i was going to say it's probably not that cause no one changed it... but they did. | 16:28 |

| gotsaquestion | How secure would you say Raring Ringtail is anyway? Like, are there any known vulnerabilities? | 16:39 |
| tubaguy_ | hitsujiTMO: Root can start and stop the service just fine | 16:39 |

| costales | Hi! Where can I send an email to Canonical about a mobile business collaboration? Thanks in advance! :) | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | gotsaquestion: as more people use the released version, more bugs get shaken out | 16:40 |
| Ubnoobtu | saiarcot895: the sudo restart caused me to go to the log in window, and when i signed back in, the only thing on screen is my mouse cursor | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | gotsaquestion: after a while the updates slow down, as it all gets worked out ;-) | 16:40 |
| gotsaquestion | But since it's open source, any programmer amongst all the contributors could leave a backdoor or something, right??? | 16:40 |
| MonkeyDust | costales ubuntu.com contact | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | gotsaquestion: theoretically, yes | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | gotsaquestion: but it tends to get spotted straight away | 16:41 |
| toggler | If there is noone with knowledge for 3G Modems in linux: Would there be a more specific channel | 16:41 |
| toggler | where i could get help? | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | toggler: don't ask to ask | 16:41 |
| Gallomimia | do believe i've read stories about such backdoors being spotted swiftly | 16:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | Patero-ng: try fbi then | 16:41 |
| gotsaquestion | Oh. That's cool. I was worried about that | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | toggler: just ask your specific question | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | gotsaquestion: in proprietary OSes you can hide all sorts of nasty stuff | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | gotsaquestion: I know, I've done it ;-) | 16:41 |
| malinus | gotsaquestion, you got it the other way around. Closed source, proprietary software almost definitely has backdoors, because why not? Open source software don't have that freedom because it can be reviewed. | 16:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | tubaguy_: are there relative links in the config? | 16:42 |
| tubaguy_ | hitsujiTMO: which config? | 16:42 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: still nothing has come up? | 16:42 |
| gotsaquestion | proprietary OSes? | 16:42 |
| Ubnoobtu | nothing | 16:42 |
| Gallomimia | gotsaquestion: that exact story is why OpenSource in the first place | 16:42 |
| Ubnoobtu | should I reinstall? | 16:42 |
| gordonjcp | Gallomimia: did you see the one about the root elevation trick that *nearly* got through, which came down to the difference between "==" and "=" in one part of the kernel? | 16:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | tubaguy_: for php5-fpm. such as relative symlinks or relative paths being reffered? | 16:43 |
| tubaguy_ | hitsujiTMO: Nope. Like I said, root can start and stop the service just fine. | 16:43 |
| gotsaquestion | So, what's the big difference between UNIX and Linux anyway? Is it the GUI or something? | 16:43 |
| gordonjcp | Gallomimia: long time ago now | 16:43 |
| Gallomimia | esing: i'm trying to compare your issue to mine from a week ago... | 16:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | tubaguy_: can anyone with sudo group start and stop the service? | 16:44 |
| tubaguy_ | hitsujiTMO: Yes. I just don't want this user to have sudo access to everything. | 16:44 |
| gordonjcp | gotsaquestion: UNIX is a specific trademark, and to be called UNIX a Unix-like OS has to meet a certain set of criteria | 16:44 |
| moppy | gotsaquestion: originally linux was a clone of unix, but they;ve diverged now. some unix are open source btw | 16:44 |
| Gallomimia | gordonjcp: no i don't think i did. sounds interesting. i think the one i was looking at was something in the repo that didn't get checked in thru normal channels. obv someone must have hacked their repo and added stuff hoping to slip it thru | 16:44 |
| moppy | gotsaquestion: and there's lot of unix that are not named unix, for example citrix's netscalar | 16:45 |
| toggler | On my mobile phone I can make hash-tag requests (call *102#) and receive back a notice from my provider, can I do something similar with my 3G modem? | 16:45 |
| gotsaquestion | And Linux doesn't have a set of criteria? | 16:45 |
| k1l | !ot | gotsaquestion | 16:45 |
| ubottu | gotsaquestion: #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! | 16:45 |
| costales | Thanks MonkeyDust :) I found this http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/contact-us I think is more specific. Thanks! :) | 16:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | tubaguy_: at this point, i'll bow out. unsure as to where along the line the issue is failing | 16:45 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: at this point, I'm not sure. | 16:45 |
| moppy | gotsaquestion: its open source and anyone can fork it, im not sure that's really a relevant way it think about it | 16:46 |
| Gallomimia | linux is linux. there's no linux-like things afaik. all distros are based on the linux kernel plus other things they like | 16:47 |
| Ubnoobtu | okay, I restarted | 16:48 |
| Gallomimia | esing what drivers did you install, and what card do you have?\ | 16:48 |
| Ubnoobtu | saiarcot985, I had to force restart it, and now when I logged in, everything came up., | 16:48 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: ok | 16:48 |
| leo-the-manic | Hi all. Trying to install the Jenkins tool following their instructions (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+on+Ubuntu). However when I run "apt-get install jenkins" it installs an old version (1.424); which seems to be in an Ubuntu package list. I don't have in-depth knowledge of apt-get; how can I use it to install the newer version from the Jenkins site? | 16:49 |
| Gallomimia | esing: i had problems with the radeon drivers too. first i tried installing specific drivers for the radeonHD7790 card i have, but that made things worse. i installed the generic catalyst package they have next, and everything works great | 16:49 |
| Ubnoobtu | saiarcot895 : Now I'd like to use the card settings to adjust the size of the display to fit within my monitor | 16:49 |
| Patero-ng | hitsujiTMO: I installed fbi but when I load w3m and go to facebook I can't see any images why | 16:49 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: go into Settings>Displays, and change the resolution | 16:50 |
| Gallomimia | leo-the-manic: did you add the software source as given in the top lines of that page you linked from jenkins site? | 16:50 |
| k610 | is : "service --status-all" really showing all runing services ? | 16:50 |
| saiarcot895 | Ubnoobtu: changing the resolution may or may not work, depending on the TV settings | 16:50 |
| leo-the-manic | Gallomimia: I think so, but I don't know how to check that it worked | 16:50 |
| leo-the-manic | Gallomimia: I ran all the shell code on the site | 16:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | Patero-ng: w3m has limited javascript support (unfortunately is the case for all terminal browsers). the fb images are displayed with js | 16:51 |
| Gallomimia | really the only way is to view the file called /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list and also make sure aptget is looking at that source | 16:51 |
| Pici | Patero-ng: keep in mind that framebuffer images will only display if you are working locally on the server, it will not work over SSH. | 16:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Patero-ng: an alternative browser you could try is links2 | 16:52 |
| leo-the-manic | Gallomimia: That file does have the jenkins-ci.org line. How can I check/make it that apt-get is looking at that source? | 16:52 |
| Ubnoobtu | yyyaaaaaaay | 16:52 |
| Ubnoobtu | Saiarcot985, You did it man | 16:52 |
| Patero-ng | hitsujiTMO: I'll try another website | 16:52 |
| Gallomimia | Patero-ng: if you really want a gui on a ubuntu-server i suggest you run an xwindow server. you can view it on a remote machine, and you can use gui web browsers and all that | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | Patero-ng: GUI on a server? Why? | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | Patero-ng: terrible idea | 16:53 |
| Gallomimia | leo-the-manic: this i don't know. i think i'm only slightly ahead of you in understanding apt-get and sources. i've never personally seen the sources split into multiple files within a .d folder like that | 16:53 |
| Gallomimia | leo-the-manic: but, maybe if you try apt-get update it will list out all the sources it just checked, and you'll find a jenkins-ci.org url at the bottom | 16:54 |
| esing | Gallomimia, The radeon driver which comes with ubuntu and I have the ati hd 7750 | 16:54 |
| esing | Gallomimia, I got adviced to enable v-sync, since it seems to be vertical tearing | 16:54 |
| Gallomimia | esing: very very similar to mine. i had to install a driver from amd.com | 16:54 |
| === karlo is now known as karlo|afk | ||
| Gallomimia | oh. mine's tearing a lot too, but at least there's gpu acceleration where there was none before | 16:55 |
| Gallomimia | esing: at first it was like... "why is this game running at 2.5fps and taking 400% cpu!?" | 16:55 |
| esing | Gallomimia, Hm, I thought I can install the proprietary driver also with the package fglrx | 16:56 |
| esing | And you still got tearing? | 16:56 |
| Gallomimia | that's the one that didn't work | 16:56 |

| Gallomimia | in fact everything went slower after installing that | 16:56 |
| leo-the-manic | Gallomimia: apt-get update does look at jenkins-ci.org. It also complains (which I forgot to mention earlier) about a "duplicate sources.list entry"; pasted the error to https://dpaste.de/to4X | 16:56 |

| fahadash | wilee-nilee: PPAs have access to all resources of the system that a Software would have ? | 16:59 |
| ihre | hays: how can I check wheter I should run make clean or not ? | 17:00 |
| hays | its not something you really check for | 17:00 |
| jhutchins | ihre: It really depends on the package, but it's probably best to start over. | 17:01 |
| Gallomimia | easing: this is the driver I used. I installed it right over top of the HD7790 driver which failed for me. Things basically "work" in that department so i moved on till I can get some time to really fiddle with it | 17:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | esing: 7000 series graphics only have had support to them in the radeon driver. i would report the issue as a bug on launchpad. in the mean time, it might be an idea to switch to the proprietary drivers | 17:01 |
| hays | bah just run make again | 17:01 |
| saiarcot895 | fahadash: If you add the PPA to your system and install packages from it, yes | 17:01 |

| FxMr | theadmin: thx | 17:30 |
| cconstantine | hitsujiTMO, that was a very hard thing to google for | 17:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | fxfm: you can also do it at the command line with xrandr | 17:30 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: pinging localhost works, pinging 192.168.1.1 (the router) does not work, and neither google nor google's dns work. | 17:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | cconstantine: surprising considering how many people it catches | 17:30 |
| theadmin | FxMr: Err, never mind. I misunderstood the description of dimmer. | 17:30 |
| theadmin | FxMr: Flux is not what you are looking for. | 17:30 |
| Gallomimia | GeekDude: type ifconfig and see if you like the results | 17:31 |
| Gallomimia | also ping not localhost but the non-localhost ip of the local system. | 17:31 |
| Gallomimia | whatever that might be 192.168.1.2 sounds like a good candidate | 17:31 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: I'm troubleshooting the XP end; IPConfig gives 169.254.204.146 as teh autoconfiguration IP address, and 255.255.0.0 for the subnet mask. all the other values are blank. | 17:31 |
| z2s8 | Is it safe to replace unity with GNOME, or should do a reinstall w/ Ubuntu gnome? | 17:32 |
| theadmin | z2s8: Sure is safe, no problems would arise | 17:32 |
| Gallomimia | GeekDude: so your ubuntu system doesn't have a network configuration for the bluetooth adapter? | 17:32 |
| z2s8 | I'm scared of dependency errors ;) | 17:32 |
| Gallomimia | set that up and you'll make progress. manual set up in system settings > network | 17:32 |
| wilee-nilee | z2s8, unity is a plugin in compiz running on gnome 3, what gnome are you referring to, the gnome shell, fallback gnome 2? | 17:33 |
| z2s8 | Gnome 3.8, the interface | 17:33 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: I'm confused, do I need to set something up I didn't? I just apt-get installed blueman, and enabled NAP in the "Local services" menu | 17:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I cannot seem to find a dual-bay hdd laptop on 15 inch | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | z2s8, the gnome shell, don't exspect support if you use a ppa. | 17:33 |
| z2s8 | Willee-nilee I suppose its gnome shell | 17:34 |
| z2s8 | Yep all good then | 17:34 |
| Gallomimia | you need to assign that adaptor an ip address, tell it what its router and subnet mask are, and provide a server to use for dns queries | 17:34 |
| wilee-nilee | z2s8, I use the shell myself | 17:34 |
| z2s8 | I'll give it a shot, thx guys! | 17:34 |
| Gallomimia | either your XP machine will provide your ubuntu system all that with a dhcp server, or you'll do it by hand | 17:34 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: So basically, I have to manually point it at all the relevant addresses? | 17:34 |
| Gallomimia | yeah | 17:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | Wiz_KeeD: use at your own risk: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/9-5mm-SATA-to-SATA-2nd-HDD-Hard-Drive-Universal-Caddy-CD-ROM-Pro-Optical-bay-/320987078390?pt=UK_Collectables_HardDriveEnclosures_RL&hash=item4abc521ef6 | 17:35 |
| Gallomimia | router is what you gave me. pick an ip you like on the same subnet, put subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 | 17:35 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: Where do I find a menu to do this? | 17:35 |
| Gallomimia | system settings > network | 17:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hitsujiTMO, to replace the standard dvd-rom / | 17:35 |

| GeekDude | Gallomimia: I have two options, "Wired" and "Network proxy" | 17:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | wouldn't that be at much lower speeds hitsujiTMO ? | 17:36 |
| Gallomimia | click the + button at the bottom of that list | 17:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | Wiz_KeeD: not necessarily. most likely sata1 speed ... depends on what interface the mobo is using | 17:36 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: It gives me the option to create a VPN, is that what I'm looking for? | 17:37 |
| Gallomimia | GeekDude: maybe the wired one is your bluetooth adapter? | 17:37 |
| Gallomimia | no, vpn is not what you want | 17:37 |
| Gallomimia | do you have a wired connection on this device? | 17:37 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: Ethernet wired connection on the desktop | 17:38 |
| GeekDude | (The one that is running ubuntu) | 17:38 |
| Gallomimia | but.... not how you're trying to connect? | 17:38 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: I'm trying to connect to wifi over bluetooth from XP to Ubuntu | 17:38 |
| Gallomimia | k.... your networking system doesn't know about your bluetooth yet | 17:38 |
| caadubuntu | ok | 17:38 |
| Gallomimia | you're trying to establish a bluetooth network from ubuntu desktop to xp... laptop? | 17:38 |
| caadubuntu | no | 17:39 |
| GeekDude | XP "laptop", it's an x86 fujistu tablet | 17:39 |
| caadubuntu | yes | 17:39 |
| Gallomimia | ah that's the issue. it has no ethernet :) limited options man... pretty ballsy to attempt this at all | 17:39 |
| GeekDude | I'm trying to get the laptop to use internet over bluetooth, and the desktop to use internet over ethernet, while sharing with the tablet. | 17:40 |
| GeekDude | tablet/laptop | 17:40 |
| GeekDude | the tablet runs XP, the desktop, ubuntu 12.04 | 17:40 |
| Gallomimia | k, so the desktop has internet thru it's wired connection? | 17:41 |
| GeekDude | yes | 17:41 |
| Gallomimia | ah. same problem, different direction. later in this process you'll want some kind of natd to run in your system. i think that's built in isn't it? | 17:42 |
| hid | hi is there a way to type non-breaking spaces in numbers? | 17:42 |
| Gallomimia | anyway, the problem i see now is getting your bluetooth device to be recognized as a network interface | 17:42 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: I wouldn't know. I'm not sure what a natd *is*. I'm not much for networking | 17:42 |
| hid | I'd like to follow the systeme international of units | 17:43 |
| Gallomimia | hid i would suggest you change the formatting and make the entire cell not wrap. i don't know if there's an actual nbsp | 17:43 |
| wagonboi | How would I check if my NIC has a correctly installed driver? | 17:43 |
| hid | i mean, automatically by typing the spacebar in numbers* | 17:43 |
| Gallomimia | GeekDude: natd stands for network address translation, and it's what home-based routers do to share internet like this. you need a program on your desktop to work with it | 17:44 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: Should I go with blueztools and try to set things up with the command line instead of with blueman | 17:44 |
| uvala | test | 17:44 |
| Gallomimia | bluetooth on ubuntu is a bit beyond my knowledge | 17:45 |
| sarah33 | hi everyone, I have a little problem, my brother has installed ubuntu on my laptop, and the fglrx didn't work, so he has explained to me that he had downloaded them from ati website and installed it. With the fglrx ubuntu version, the laptop cannot start, startup is blocked on purple screen. so the last time, ha has use grub recovery mode en use something like "check for damaged packages" to enable read/write on the disk and then go | 17:45 |
| sarah33 | to root shell and remove all fglrx packets. My problem is: I have updated ubuntu to 13.10 and I think fglrx is now ubuntu one because the laptop freeze on startup at purple screen, but grub recovery mode doesn't work, check for damaged packages works infinitely as graphical safe boot. So now I'm on the live cd and I want to chroot my system and remove fglrx, could someone help me to do that? | 17:45 |
| uvala | test | 17:46 |
| wagonboi | uvala, A+ | 17:46 |
| Gallomimia | GeekDude: what I want to do now is configure your network adaptor and the network between the tablet and the desktop. but somewhere in the plugging in a device, populating it to /dev, using its driver, and recognizing it as a network adaptor, something's not complete, and i am lost | 17:47 |
| uvala | hello everyone, I have problem getting sound in audacity, can anyone maybe help? | 17:48 |
| uvala | wagonboi, I couldnt understand your reply | 17:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | sarah33: try booting with the kernel option nomodeset | 17:48 |
| esing | I want to install the proprietary drivers for my ati graphic card. Do I just install the package fglrx or do I also have to tell ubuntu to stop using radeon? | 17:49 |
| sarah33 | hitsujiTMO, ok I have see that on internet, so at the boot, I'm pressing 'e' and change the concerned line but right after that I don't know what to do, how to save this modification and boot, if I press F10, the system start but freeze too | 17:49 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: Do you think doing something like this would work? http://www.jasonernst.com/2011/11/29/creating-a-bluetooth-access-point-nap-in-ubuntu-11-10/ | 17:50 |
| uvala | hello everyone, I have problem getting sound in audacity, can anyone maybe help? | 17:50 |

| theadmin | !rootirc | sarah33 | 17:50 |
| ubottu | sarah33: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 17:50 |

| ^Phantom^ | does xubuntu have full wine support? | 17:51 |
| oi | any ideas? | 17:51 |
| theadmin | ^Phantom^: What? That question doesn't even make sense. WINE is present in all the official Ubuntu derivatives' repositories, yes. | 17:52 |
| theadmin | ^Phantom^: But WINE isn't a supported piece of software per se, you'd need to go to #winehq for WINE support. | 17:52 |
| Gallomimia | GeekDude: im reading, but its looking promising | 17:54 |
| ^Phantom^ | theadmin, let me refine this question then, does xubuntu get access to the full wine environment? | 17:54 |
| ^Phantom^ | Seeing as it's a lighter 'buntu, and all | 17:54 |
| Gallomimia | GeekDude: bridge is better than natd | 17:54 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: So, this is what I should be doing/looking for? | 17:55 |
| theadmin | ^Phantom^: Basically... All the official Ubuntu versions (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Lubuntu) have full access to all sotware present in the Ubuntu Repositories (or the Ubuntu Software Centre), so as long as the machine has internet connection, yes, you can install WINE in full. | 17:55 |
| Gallomimia | GeekDude: also, this guide is for 2 ubuntu computers. you'll need to adapt the instructions for the xp side of the link | 17:55 |
| ^Phantom^ | That's what i was interested in. Thankies. | 17:55 |
| GeekDude | Gallomimia: I think the only difference is I don't need to bother with configuring the XP side | 17:55 |
| GeekDude | I'm not positive, though. Can't hurt to try | 17:55 |
| Gallomimia | yeah it should be ready. just wait for the bluetooth handshake | 17:56 |
| ^Phantom^ | I need to set my mom's xubuntu pc up to run wine | 17:56 |
| Gallomimia | k, so first add the bridge connection to /etc/network/interfaces like it says | 17:56 |
| Gallomimia | oh. | 17:56 |
| Gallomimia | it says get pairing done before anything else | 17:56 |
| theadmin | ^Phantom^: If the target machine is NOT going to have internet connection, but you have an existing machine running Ubuntu, you can easily build a custom ISO for that machine using the Ubuntu Customization Kit. | 17:56 |
| Gallomimia | and to use blueman from the repos | 17:56 |
| ^Phantom^ | Oh that is neat. | 17:57 |
| ^Phantom^ | It's already set up, though | 17:57 |
| ^Phantom^ | But that is neat. | 17:57 |

| OerHeks | b22, no, there is no linux client > http://www.poivy.com/download | 18:00 |
| hays | hitsujiTMO: the odd thing is that the 12.04 LTS configuration uses the open source kernel driver with no proprietary code | 18:01 |
| theadmin | basichash: In your ~/.vimrc, set directory='' | 18:01 |
| hays | hitsujiTMO: yet the kernel update breaks it for some reason | 18:01 |

| vindav | wilee-nilee: Thank you for your response. Ok, we'll...a couple of days ago I had updates from the Canada server, and after re-starting, my background wallpaper changed, the vertical launcher with Unity blinks and flashes randomly all together, when dragging screenlets or windows, duplication of images exist and seem liek they are multiplied immensely.

| theadmin | vindav: What is your GPU (graphics card)? If using proprietary drivers, stuff happens... | 19:07 |
| theadmin | vindav: I am running on nvidia with bumblebee though and things are fine | 19:07 |
| wilee-nilee | vindav, You might try a compiz reset, do you have a proprietary graphic driver installed per-chance? | 19:07 |
| vindav | theadmin: my graphics card is a Nvidia - GeForce310, driver version: 304.88 | 19:08 |
| theadmin | vindav: Hm ah, yeah, proprietary drivers may cause problems as I said, try deactivating them through System Settings -> Hardware Drivers | 19:09 |

| wilee-nilee | vindav, From nvidia or the repos? | 19:09 |
| theadmin | tejas: 2812 does not seem like any sort of HTTP port, unlikely that Apache will have to do anything with that. | 19:10 |
| vindav | theadmin: so, if I deactivate them from System Settings->Hardware Drivers, would do I do next after that, reboot or what ? | 19:10 |
| theadmin | vindav: Yeah, reboot and see if this helps. | 19:10 |

| tejas | theadmin what you suggest for this error..or i should go with webmin :-( | 19:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | tejas: did you change the monit config to allow access from ips other than localhost? | 19:11 |
| theadmin | tejas: Yeah no, Webmin is kinda broken with Ubuntu | 19:11 |
| tejas | it even not accessible from localhost | 19:11 |
| wilee-nilee | vindav, Ah, well I think you know what'sup from looking at your posts. | 19:12 |
| compdoc | tejas, if you use a browser to open monit, then yes, you likely need apache. Have you searched for any how tos? | 19:12 |
| vindav | theadmin: ok, I'll try that out first and come back to this chat here to report. | 19:12 |
| vindav | wilee-nilee: Could you please clarify as I am need of some understanding of that ? | 19:12 |

| theadmin | wilee-nilee: Don't be of saying that, you are into great help many times :) | 19:19 |
| wilee-nilee | theadmin, graphics I have no clue of is all. ;) | 19:20 |
| vindav | wilee-nilee: why is that ? I like your support too. In fact am reading and implementing what you shared in regards to that link in resetting Unity and Compiz. | 19:20 |
| wilee-nilee | vindav, This area I know enough from seeing traffic on the channel, and I don't give advice that is not conclusive without mentioning that. I have all intel setups they work, so I have not had to mess with drivers is all. | 19:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | tejas: try removing the space before "set httpd" also, try swapping localhost for ips | 19:21 |
| FabianS | Hey guys. | 19:22 |
| vindav | wilee-nilee: Unity is no longer present, and the terminal window is no longer accessible after I reset Compiz after entering the command: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 | 19:22 |
| FabianS | I can't get Ubuntu 13.10 to boot from a Thumdrive on a UEFI system. | 19:22 |
| vindav | wilee-nilee: I too have a intel setup on my Ubuntu box. | 19:22 |
| tejas | ohk hitsuji..trying it | 19:22 |
| FabianS | GRUB does start and kernel&initramfs are loaded. | 19:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | FabianS: disabled secure boot and fast boot? | 19:23 |
| FabianS | But it seems like the initramfs is unable to find the livesystem's squashfs. | 19:23 |
| wilee-nilee | vindav, I would do a logout or reboot, compiz is a bit funky with changes at times. | 19:23 |
| FabianS | Any ideas? | 19:23 |
| kostkon | vindav, go into tty | 19:23 |
| FabianS | hitsujiTMO: Obviously yes. | 19:23 |
| kostkon | vindav, give the command there | 19:23 |
| theadmin | FabianS: How did you create the LiveUSB? | 19:23 |
| FabianS | Else grub wouldn't boot. | 19:23 |
| vindav | kostkon: What is tty ? | 19:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | FabianS: sorry, didnt see the you got grub bit till after i hit enter :P | 19:23 |
| FabianS | theadmin: partitioned to ef00, formatted as vfat and copied the contents of the iso on the partition. | 19:24 |
| theadmin | FabianS: eeeeeh... way complicated. I am not qualified to tell if that would work :D | 19:24 |
| kostkon | vindav, press ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 and then ctrl+alt+f7 to come back | 19:24 |
| vindav | Before I reboot, I just want to make sure that everything that can be done will be done. | 19:24 |
| FabianS | theadmin: That's the default procedure for EFI install medium creation. | 19:24 |
| FabianS | Really simple. | 19:24 |
| kostkon | vindav, e.g. press ctrl+alt+f4. reset compiz/unity then reload it with setsid unity then ctrl+alt+f7 | 19:25 |
| compdoc | its looking like ubuntu 13.10 server with a Mate desktop has solved my remote desktop issues | 19:25 |
| theadmin | FabianS: EFI itself is incredibly complicated rubbish, in my opinion | 19:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | FabianS: at grub prompt, what is the output of: ls | 19:25 |
| wilee-nilee | vindav, try ctrl-alt-f1 login in then run sudo stop lightdm then sudo start lightdm | 19:25 |
| FabianS | hitsujiTMO: GRUB does load the kernel and the initramfs. | 19:25 |
| FabianS | It's not a GRUB problem. | 19:25 |

| theadmin | Patero-ng: No, "adduser USER GROUP" will add USER to GROUP. It will NOT add a new user if USER doesn't exist. | 20:22 |
| duxb | same thing happening on both my laptop and desktop | 20:22 |
| ozbrk | except the ram I upgraded it | 20:22 |
| wilee-nilee | duxb, what additional stuff is installed, such as desktops and pps'a? | 20:22 |
| kostkon | ozbrk, i have more or less the same hardware. runs ubuntu fine | 20:23 |
| wilee-nilee | ppa's* | 20:23 |
| kostkon | ozbrk, vanilla ubuntu with unity3d | 20:23 |
| Patero-ng | theadmin: ok I trust you | 20:23 |
| duxb | wilee: my laptop is a pretty standard install | 20:23 |
| ozbrk | vanillia ubuntu ? | 20:23 |
| wilee-nilee | duxb, no extras? | 20:23 |
| theadmin | Patero-ng: That's what the manual says anyway :D | 20:24 |
| Patero-ng | I have another question I installed program xboard and when I run xboard as user it says itcan't open display so I guess it needs sudo I sudo it but it says command not found? what is wrong here | 20:24 |
| wilee-nilee | duxb, Might just need another mirror | 20:24 |
| kostkon | ozbrk, i mean ubuntu (with unity) not xubuntu or some other flavour | 20:24 |
| vindav | wilee-nilee: hi there, am back after about 4 or 5 re-boots, all files intact, but still have the same graphics problems as before when I came to the chat room. I went to Hardware Drivers and it said that I was not authorized to activate the Nvidia driver 319. Can you please help me ? | 20:24 |
| theadmin | Patero-ng: Uh, xboard needs a graphical interface | 20:24 |
| vindav | theadmin hi there, am back after about 4 or 5 re-boots, all files intact, but still have the same graphics problems as before when I came to the chat room. I went to Hardware Drivers and it said that I was not authorized to activate the Nvidia driver 319. Can you please help me ? | 20:24 |
| theadmin | vindav: Eh, run "gksudo jockey-gtk" and then you can reinstall the driver. | 20:24 |
| wilee-nilee | vindav, I would if I had the skills, nvidia I have never messed with. | 20:25 |
| ozbrk | kostkon which release do you prefer n that kind of hardware | 20:25 |
| duxb | I have ppa's for opera and wine, that's about it, I'll try playing with the repo server. | 20:25 |
| jhutchins | !nvidia | 20:25 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 20:25 |
| ozbrk | 13.10 had a lot of problem when I tried it | 20:25 |
| kostkon | ozbrk, any but i would recommend 12.04 since it is lts with 5y support (until 2017) | 20:25 |
| vindav | wilee-nilee: ok, I appreciate your input very much. | 20:25 |
| kostkon | ozbrk, what kind of probs | 20:25 |
| ozbrk | ok | 20:26 |
| ozbrk | I gonna give a last shot for it | 20:26 |
| vindav | theadmin: am running that command now in terminal and will wait to let you know what goes. | 20:26 |
| wilee-nilee | vindav, sure, however you should get help from people who know this area is all. | 20:26 |
| ozbrk | Ubuntu 12.04 with unity2d | 20:26 |
| Gnjurac | can somone help me i sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/korisnickoime/MASA1 can mount partrition whit this comand and it works but asks for sudo password and i addet it trou GUI to start auto but it dosent work probably beacuse it requres password so i did this in visudo KorisnickoIme ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/korisnickoime/Templates/Automaunt but still not working what to do? | 20:26 |
| ruth | kostkon, we're back after downloading OpenJdk 6 and 7 and tried to open the game MInecraft in Opendjdk, but on our Ubuntu screen it says, "blocked, is not marked as executable, dangerous to run." Now what? | 20:26 |
| kostkon | ozbrk, even unity(3d) | 20:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Gnjurac, no password is not a good idea, and not supported here. | 20:27 |
| duxb | Ok, now I'm getting error reports being generated by /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade crashing | 20:27 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| kostkon | ruth, oh right. do the following: right click on it, select properties from the menu, then the permissions tab and then tick the allow executing as program option and finally press ok | 20:27 |
| wilee-nilee | duxb, You might check the software.list have you modified it? | 20:28 |
| Gnjurac | wilee-nilee, i read it online thet thet is best for runing sudo, or not have suggestions? | 20:28 |
| vindav | theadmin: am getting this from terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6297078/ | 20:28 |
| kostkon | ruth, 'close' button not 'ok' | 20:28 |
| FabianS | Gnjurac: put it in /etc/fstab? | 20:28 |
| duxb | wilee: I disabled all third party ppa's, set to the standard ubuntu.com repo, same thing | 20:30 |
| theadmin | vindav: Oh, right, uh, run "sudo jockey-text --enable=kmod:nvidia_319" | 20:30 |
| Gnjurac | FabianS, put this " sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/korisnickoime/MASA1" or what, and i want to learn how to run bin bash whit sudo anywey | 20:30 |
| FabianS | Gnjurac: Read the fstab manpage. | 20:31 |
| vindav | theadmin: Additional Drivers window mentioned that I should re-boot to activate the Nvidia driver 319 now. Shall I run that command you issued too ? | 20:31 |
| ruth | Ok, going to try that. | 20:31 |
| duxb | what's going to happen if I apt-get dist-upgrade on desktop version? | 20:31 |
| Elliot_ | Hi | 20:32 |
| Elliot_ | How do I chmod a folder so that I can add files to it? | 20:32 |
| theadmin | vindav: Ah no, never mind, if the window appeared then no problem | 20:33 |
| theadmin | vindav: Just reboot I guess | 20:33 |
| duxb | Elliot_ chmod 755 filename | 20:33 |
| vindav | theadmin: terminal reported that knmod:nvidia_319 is an unknown driver and to use --list to see available drivers. So, shall I just now reboot and see what happens ? BTW, do you know what tty means ? | 20:33 |
| Gnjurac | FabianS, ok thet can solve my automount but it will not help me run sudo in bash whitout promting for pass | 20:34 |
| wilee-nilee | duxb, dist-upgrade upgrades kernels and maybe any other held packages, not a distro | 20:34 |
| theadmin | vindav: Uh, it's kmod: not knmod:, but yeah just reboot for now. A TTY is a virutal terminal, they normally go from TTY1 to TTY7, you can access them with Ctrl+Alt+F{TTY NUMBER}, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1 = TTY1 | 20:35 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| FabianS | Gnjurac: Why would you want to run sudo in bash without prompting for a password? | 20:35 |
| duxb | Elliot_: but the problem may not be the permissions, but the ownership, which would be fixed by "sudo chown yourusername:yourusername filename" | 20:35 |
| duxb | wilee: dist-upgrade is for dist(ribution) upgrade, so it should do exactly the same as the upgrade tool, in theory | 20:36 |
| wilee-nilee | duxb, Its not | 20:36 |
| hays | ozbrk: try xubuntu if you want lighter weight wm maybe? | 20:36 |
| ntomkin | WTF | 20:36 |
| wilee-nilee | in ubuntu anyway | 20:36 |
| k1l | duxb: its not a 13.04 to 13.10 upgrade. | 20:37 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | duxb | 20:37 |
| ubottu | duxb: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 20:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | duxb: dist-upgrade differs from upgrade in the fact that it will install new dependencies if a package changes dependencies. it's not a distrbiution upgrade in ubuntu | 20:37 |
| hays | kostkon: i had problems with 13.10 also. specifically my broadcom wifi broke | 20:37 |
| duxb | gotcha | 20:37 |
| duxb | Ok, then how do I upgrade if do-release upgrade is broken? | 20:38 |
| hays | kostkon: in 12.04 i am using the bcmsmac (sp?) driver.. in 13.10 this driver doesn't work and neither d oes the proprietary STA driver | 20:38 |
| k1l | duxb: why is it broken? what happens? logs? | 20:38 |
| MonkeyDust | duxb any error message? | 20:38 |
| wilee-nilee | I think there is a bug in this area check duxb | 20:38 |
| zykotick9 | theadmin: VT1-7 are consoles, not TTYs. a tty is ANY terminal console or Xorg. ubottu also as some incorrect message about this ;) hope all is well with you. | 20:39 |
| Gnjurac | FabianS, beacuse i want to runs scripts thet requre sudo and not be promted for pass | 20:39 |
| theadmin | zykotick9: Oh, oops. | 20:39 |
| Gnjurac | FabianS, aloot terminal and other commands requre sudo | 20:39 |
| duxb | mostly, no, one try I got it to generate a crash report, SIG(something)V | 20:40 |
| FabianS | Gnjurac: That's extremely insecure. | 20:40 |
| jhutchins | duxb: It's not really the upgrade process that's broken. It's the resulting install. | 20:40 |
| kostkon | hays, hmm but yeah in 12.04 both drivers work also for me | 20:40 |
| hays | kostkon: yeah its a weird problem maybe residing in the kernel ? | 20:40 |
| duxb | there is no resulting install, it crashes before it changes a single file | 20:40 |
| jhutchins | duxb: If you're worried about it, hold off for a while before you upgrade. | 20:41 |
| MonkeyDust | duxb and what are the symptoms of the crash? | 20:41 |
| k1l | duxb: without any error or log it is very difficult to help there | 20:41 |
| duxb | upgrade process disappears after downloading tools, before calculating changes | 20:41 |
| bekks | duxb: SIGSEGV indicates defective RAM pretty often. | 20:41 |
| kostkon | hays, maybe, although 12.04.3 comes with 3.8, the same kernel as 13.10 | 20:41 |
| Gnjurac | as i read for me editing visudo username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: and making file unreadeble by any other feels secure , why shoudent it be? | 20:42 |
| hays | hmm | 20:42 |
| ruth | kostkon, thank you! It Worked! You are a computer genious. | 20:42 |
| kostkon | ruth, nice :) | 20:42 |
| duxb | ah, yes, SIGSEGV was the error code | 20:42 |
| hays | kostkon: not sure ive upgraded to that kernel yet maybe ill try | 20:42 |
| duxb | I tried /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade from cli and it seems to be working | 20:42 |
| kostkon | hays, yeah, only if you have installed it recently | 20:42 |
| bekks | Gnjurac: The will be able to do everything. Do you think thats secure? | 20:42 |
| FabianS | Gnjurac: Because any software you run will be able to do anything. | 20:42 |
| kostkon | hays, otherwise, you might have 3.2 or 3.5 | 20:43 |
| FabianS | Gnjurac: Including scripts running in your browser etc. | 20:43 |
| Gnjurac | w8 | 20:43 |
| Gnjurac | a sec | 20:43 |
| hays | kostkon: right now i have whatever it came with because i did a factory reset. i think 3.2 | 20:43 |
| hays | but i had it on 13.04 (?) with updated everything and it was working fully i think... but 13.10 borked it | 20:43 |
| kostkon | hays, hmm | 20:44 |
| hays | if you care a lot about it i can try to reproduce | 20:44 |
| Gnjurac | FabianS, i was thinking visudo username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/Bashscreept so it gives no request for password for only thet file and i set it to only sudo can acces read edit | 20:44 |
| hays | would involve me factory resetting again probably | 20:44 |
| hays | but if it would help devs find the problem im game to give it a go | 20:45 |
| kostkon | hays, theres no need to do that at the moment | 20:45 |
| bekks | Gnjurac: That bashscript will be able to do pretty much everything. Thats not secure. | 20:45 |
| dr3am_ | hello | 20:45 |
| hays | asus has like no downloads for this machine on their website from what i can tell | 20:45 |
| Gnjurac | bekks, why if i crated thet bash script and nobody can edit it if he dosent have sudo | 20:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gnjurac: did you write the bash script yourself? | 20:45 |
| Gnjurac | hitsujiTMO, y | 20:45 |
| bekks | Gnjurac: Then why does it need root privileges at all? | 20:46 |
| === remi is now known as Guest78365 | ||
| Gnjurac | hitsujiTMO, i did sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/korisnickoime/MASA1 so i can auto mount | 20:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gnjurac: you can do that in fstab | 20:46 |
| kostkon | hays, they sell ubuntu laptops in some markets though | 20:47 |
| bekks | Gnjurac: You can add an entry to the fstab to allow users to mount that device. | 20:47 |
| hays | yeah that's what this is | 20:47 |

| dr3am_ | i installed win 7 on c:, and make d: parcition for date, and also make f for ubutnu, then i install ubuntu from usb in option "install ubuntu alongside windows". | 20:53 |
| kostkon | hays, yeah | 20:53 |
| dr3am_ | there is no option in installation to install on f: | 20:54 |

| wilee-nilee | dr3am_, You can't make a partition in windows to install ubuntu on from a usb | 20:54 |

| dr3am_ | now i dont know how to boot winddows 7, and i dont know whete i installed ubuntu | 20:54 |

| sam113101 | I wonder if the magic trackpad works as expected on ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| jhutchins | dr3am_: Perhaps that would be a good idea. | 20:55 |
| hays | kostkon: i think its supposed to work with the bcmsmac driver so they figure the kernel folks have it | 20:55 |
| Richhh | wilee-nilee i plan to have internet, preferably wireless, my router is quite far away and i don't have a long enough ethernet cable | 20:56 |
| jhutchins | dr3am_: If it's not in the grub boot menu you may have removed it. | 20:56 |

| bekks | 11!mint < pinch0 | 20:56 |

| kostkon | hays, yeah, eveything is in the kernel so they don't need to care i guess | 20:56 |
| bekks | !mint | pinch0 | 20:56 |
| ubottu | pinch0: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 20:56 |
| duxb | dr3am_: if you put in your windows installation cd, it should have a repair tool that you may need to run to fix your install | 20:56 |
| pinch0 | Bella thank you | 20:56 |
| pinch0 | Bekks | 20:57 |
| duxb | after you do this, you may need to repair grub to get the boot choice menu back, google it and you'll find lots of guilds to do that | 20:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Richhh, As long as its a regular live install you will everything, but additional drivers that would be detected and downloaded, which might be important if you are not up for installing them without a internet access after install. | 20:57 |
| pinch0 | Sorry on android, um never getting another android ever again | 20:57 |
| jhutchins | dr3am_: Be aware that the windows repair tool will make it impossible to boot to ubuntu. | 20:57 |

| bekks | Ziber: 14.04? There isnt an ISO even, I guess. | 20:58 |
| duxb | google "repair grub" to get the boot choice menu back | 20:58 |
| Ziber | In fact, there is. | 20:58 |
| Ben64 | Ziber: #ubuntu+1 for 14.04, but its not even alpha yet | 20:58 |
| jhutchins | Ziber: loop mount it and browse. | 20:58 |

| wilee-nilee | Richhh, ON occasion we see people here who have limited skills with tough driver issues and are in trouble is all. | 20:58 |
| hays | that's upsetting a bit | 20:58 |
| Ziber | jhutchins: I can't find it. | 20:58 |
| jhutchins | duxb: Why do you suppose he'd need the windows bootloader? Grub should find and boot to windows if it's still there. | 20:59 |
| wagonboi | does anyone know how to find a virtualbox file using FIND? I lost mine and it's 10gigs, I need that space :\ | 20:59 |
| duxb | not if his windows install was corrupted by the repartition, usually something in the windows bootloader that grub hands off to | 20:59 |
| bodhi_zazen | Ziber: the files you want are in /casper - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot/Examples#Ubuntu_Menuentry_Examples | 20:59 |
| duxb | windows is such a fragile thing, and partition moving always presents a risk | 21:00 |

| dr3am_ | This version of System Recovery Options is not comparible with the version of windows you are ty to repair. | 21:04 |
| oscalation | is the right way to make ubuntu use local time to edit the /etc/default/rcs file? | 21:04 |
| dr3am_ | any other way ?? | 21:04 |
| mikeiz | so i can't start steam, libgl.sl | 21:04 |

| duxb | partitions* not parameters | 21:06 |
| mikeiz | i can't fix this problem because on ubuntu 13.10 ia-32lib are not available | 21:06 |
| pinch0 | Anyone know a work around a bug for a school network (PEAP) when you ignore the certificates it somehow sets them to true anyway. | 21:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeiz: have you fixed the dependancy issues for steam after you install it with: sudo apt-get -f install | 21:08 |
| Ben64 | mikeiz: ubuntu uses multiarch now instead of ia32-libs | 21:08 |
| hays | kostkon: if you were going to document the kernel config what would you grab? lsmod, lspci, anything else? | 21:08 |

| Elliot_ | Guys where can I find my FTP credentials? | 21:08 |

| Elliot_ | localhost | 21:11 |
| dr3am_ | wilee-nilee:everything is fine on ubuntu | 21:11 |
| bekks | hays: Then why do you need the kernel config at all? | 21:11 |

| mikeiz | Ben64: Why i can use Multi-arch ? Can you help me | 21:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | Elliot_: you'll have to figure out what wordpress wants to do with the ftp details and do it yourself | 21:11 |
| bekks | pinch0: Mint isnt supported in here. | 21:11 |
| doomlord_ | speakers/headphones are plugged in, volume is up :) | 21:12 |
| hays | bekks: well when I said kernel config I wasn't talking about .config I was talking about the dynamic configuration of active modules and status of hardware | 21:12 |
| pinch0 | I understand that bug is in ubuntu | 21:12 |
| hays | bekks: not too interesting into getting into a semantic debate though :) | 21:12 |
| Ben64 | mikeiz: not sure what you mean by that, but if you installed steam correctly, it should have pulled in all dependencies | 21:12 |

| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: hmmmm? well, I mean, first we need a good driver that detects the gesture, and then software (maybe the window manager) that makes a good use of them | 21:18 |

| jhutchins | Elliot_: Looks like the right way to fix it. | 21:20 |
| Snake2k | Dudytz: I don't know much about manipulating gnome panels, but you could look into Docks http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-power-docks-for-your-linux-machine/ | 21:20 |
| jhutchins | sam113101: Depends on how good you are. You're talking touchpad gestures? | 21:21 |

| sisterFister | hitsujiTMO: that option isn't there :\ | 21:25 |
| kostkon | hays, 12.04 has 3.2, you'll get 3.8 only if you install 12.04.3 or manually install the raring stack becuase older 12.04 installations don't get updated automatically. see here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 21:25 |

| sisterFister | 100MB | 21:28 |
| kostkon | HeathHayle, yeah, lubuntu 12.04 is not an lts. i think 14.04 will be though | 21:28 |
| hays | kostkon: Ben64: so for troubleshooting purposes it seems like I should install the quantal kernel and then precise and see where things start to go to hell | 21:28 |
| hays | and I am assuming that installing 12.04.3 is equivalent to installing the updated hardware enablement stack | 21:29 |
| bxtxcx | anybody know how i can get the front camera up and going? | 21:29 |
| kostkon | hays, yeah the quantal, not raring sorry. you could try that and see how it goes. you can always revert back to the previous one if you know how | 21:29 |
| kostkon | hays, revert to the 3.2 kernel* | 21:30 |
| hays | im not even sure how to see what version of ubuntu im running .. lets see if its somewhere obvious vice digging around in the command lind | 21:30 |
| kostkon | hays, actually it;s not only about the kernel, also it's the graphics stack that gets updated | 21:30 |
| HeathHayle | But 14.04 doesn't work oh old hardware does it? | 21:31 |
| HeathHayle | On | 21:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | hays: cat /etc/issue | 21:31 |
| kostkon | hays, you are running 12.04.3. | 21:31 |
| hays | lsb_release maybe | 21:31 |
| Ben64 | HeathHayle: ubuntu isn't really geared for very old computers | 21:31 |
| hays | yep im on 12.04.3 with the 3.2 kernel.. so that means these other packages update my kernel. cool. good way to safely narrow this down. | 21:32 |
| kostkon | HeathHayle, you could try lubuntu 13.10 and then upgrade to 14.04 that is going to be lts | 21:33 |

| ubuntu-studio | Hi there, guys. Any hint for a total newbie in UbuntuStudio? | 21:34 |

| bodhi_zazen | dr3am_: "depends" , terms such as "c:" have limited meaning, you have to understand how both windows and linux refer to partitions, otherwise you will write data / install / format the wrong location and loose data | 21:37 |
| hays | hmm interesting. I got a message saying restricted drivers are available when i upgraded to 3.2.0-55 | 21:37 |

| Patero-ng | I have a dilema, I have a folder named coco owned by root with permissions dr-------- meaning read only for root, as a user I can't access it but doing sudo cd coco/ just returns invalid command... so how can I access this folder as root? | 21:39 |
| hays | When Ubuntu tells me that there are restrticted drivers available, where is it going to get them from? e.g. what is it going to do under the hood | 21:39 |
| Ben64 | Patero-ng: you need +x to be able to enter a directory, and "sudo cd" is not really going to do what you want either | 21:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | Patero-ng: chmod +x it | 21:39 |
| wilee-nilee | bxtxcx, Can you identify the camera more exacting, run lspci and see if the info is there. sometimes cheese needs to be installed, details are the key here. | 21:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | bxtxcx: more than likely the camera is usb so you will need to run: lsusb | 21:41 |

| jhutchins | Patero-ng: Your permissions are invalid. | 21:47 |

| hitsujiTMO | Patero-ng: thats what you're doing , but why is more akin to what i'm asking for | 21:57 |
| jhutchins | bodhi_zazen: Dead on, I'll try to remember that! | 21:58 |
| wilee-nilee | jhutchins, I only read your last post that was not in that. | 21:58 |
| peyam | yes. it shows the tempearute in the terminal jhutchins . but since I have two variables names temp1 the conky shows both of them and not one | 21:58 |

| bodhi_zazen | "best" is subjective, I like scrub, YMMV | 22:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | Marlenee: ^^ | 22:00 |

| bodhi_zazen | Marlenee: dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1024K count=1024; rm file | 22:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | Marlenee: dd is the best free secure disk eraser | 22:04 |
| pfifo | bodhi_zazen: thats not a very secure disc erase | 22:05 |
| Archyme | Marlenee, are you trying to do something like windows' trim? for a ssd? | 22:05 |
| Marlenee | is "dd" faster enough to erase a big freespace like 500 GB or it depend on the speed of the HDD | 22:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | pfifo: if the count is large enough, it will zero fill the free space and IMO is secure , for the entire disk, modify dd, of=/dev/sda or what not | 22:07 |
| jpds | Marlenee: Depends on the size of the HDD and how fast it spins. | 22:07 |
| k1l | Marlenee: take a look at "shred". but the speed is limited by the hdd | 22:07 |
| dr3am_ | damn | 22:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | Marlenee: its as fast as anyother software is going to be, limited only by hdd speed/interface speed | 22:07 |
| dr3am_ | ubuntu is piece of shit | 22:07 |
| tmmunq | also the command you use for dd, blocksize makes a huge difference | 22:07 |

| kostkon | hays, nice | 22:08 |
| hays | kostkon: well if its not a kernel issue im kinda stumped where the problem could have resided.. but i guess well see | 22:09 |
| bodhi_zazen | why is urandom more or less secure then /dev/zero ? | 22:09 |
| kostkon | hays, yeah | 22:09 |
| tmmunq | wait, are you trying to just zero the disc or shred it for encryption? | 22:09 |
| hays | bodhi_zazen: that is a complicated question that depends on a lot of hardware specific information about the disk | 22:09 |
| Patero-ng | pfifo: because she is my math teacher | 22:10 |
| hays | the biggest key is really making sure the disk is actually physically writing zeros where you think it is | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | we seem to have a discusssion on whats best to erase a hd in here about every week. ;) I think the general idea is that using zero, makes it practically unrecoverable by any but the most dedicated reovery experts.. and even with the experts its not a guarentee if its even possible. ;) | 22:10 |
| hays | and that is highly unsure especially with an SSD. | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Yes - The rules are very differnt with SSD drives.. | 22:10 |
| hays | The only way to really get rid of the data is to destroy the disk | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) not even sure they can be recovered from, unless they dont write to the location in question. | 22:11 |
| wilee-nilee | !bs | dr3am_ | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | definatly seen people say 'dont use dd' on a ssd. | 22:11 |
| pfifo | Patero-ng: what? | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | well.. dont use dd to write to a ssd. ;) | 22:11 |
| wilee-nilee | dr3am_, There is a Bosnia local try them if thats where your at the language problem is where we are at. | 22:12 |
| hays | Dr_Willis: well there are some history effects that can occur with SSDs because of the way the data is written (quantum tunneling or some crap that leaves a trace for a while) | 22:12 |
| hays | its been a while since I've read the papers on it | 22:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | hays: theres trim for ssds (well, those that support it) | 22:12 |
| hays | also depends on who your adversary is for what you are comfortable with | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | hays: in theory information is never destroyed if you throw it in a black hole also.. ;) but it all boils down to the practical aspects ;) Im a mechanic jim! not a therotical-physisicsist.. | 22:13 |
| hays | but if they have microscopes and are willing to use them, you're mostly hosed | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | check the logs for the channel. should be a lot of urls mentioned. | 22:14 |
| hays | Dr_Willis: well suffice it to say that I've seen some things that are surprisingly possible with the right tools, and mostly automated | 22:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Hehe, start trek quotes. ;) | 22:14 |
| wilee-nilee | star* | 22:14 |

| wilee-nilee | peyam, The temp is commented out is all I have the shell running and a extension showing them. | 22:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | sburjan`: apt-cache show packagename | 22:18 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| kostkon | sburjan`, packages.ubuntu.com or apps.ubuntu.com or apt-cache show package_name in terminal or open the software centre | 22:18 |
| peyam | wilee-nilee: but do you have the same graphic card? | 22:19 |
| wilee-nilee | no I doubt it | 22:19 |
| wilee-nilee | peyam, I have not followed your post, you called me not I you. ;) | 22:20 |
| hays | kostkon: looks like redeclerations of enumerators in the module source code | 22:20 |
| peyam | wilee-nilee: when I run sensors in teminal I got the link I sended you and now I want the radeon-pc-...temp1 in my conky. and I dont know how | 22:20 |
| hays | kostkon: looks like stuff related to sound (alsa) | 22:20 |
| sburjan` | kostkon: I see the description: Transitional package for ruby-shadow [universe] . But I still don't know what is a transitional package | 22:20 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| kostkon | hays, ok. it shouldn't be a problem | 22:21 |
| hays | kostkon: ooh here's one that seems bad.. | 22:21 |
| hays | hmm i need to get xchat or something on this other machine | 22:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | sburjan`: a transitional package is a package that has been replaced by another ... it is only there so theres no broken dependanices on upgrades for users that used to use it | 22:21 |
| peyam | wilee-nilee: any suggestion? | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis | !info ruby-shadow | 22:22 |
| ubottu | ruby-shadow (source: ruby-shadow): Interface of shadow password for Ruby. In component main, is extra. Version 2.1.4-2 (saucy), package size 10 kB, installed size 81 kB | 22:22 |
| wilee-nilee | peyam, let me repeat, you called me not I you, just randomly asking people gets no where. | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis | lets ruby acess the shadow file it seems. ;) | 22:22 |
| peyam | wilee-nilee: so you don't know? | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | peyam: so whats the weather in alaska right now? ;) | 22:23 |
| hays | kostkon: something more serious in the compat-wireless module I think | 22:23 |
| kostkon | sburjan`, it means that the package is obsolete but being kept only for dist-upgrade purposes. it actually points to a another packge in this case ruby-shadow | 22:23 |
| peyam | Dr_Willis: good :) | 22:23 |
| kostkon | hays, what is the error | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | peyam: find conky example scripts that do what you want... and borrow their configs. ;) | 22:23 |
| wilee-nilee | peyam, I need some coffee from starbucks can you pick me up a cup? | 22:23 |
| === NightmareMoon is now known as Luna | ||
| sburjan` | kostkon: Thanks ! Now I understand better. And the description of ruby-shadow is: Interface of shadow password for Ruby. This allows ruby to interact with /etc/shadow file ? | 22:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sburjan`: thats my guess.. since thats where the shadow passowrds are kept. ;0 | 22:24 |
| hays | kostkon: working on it... have to get irc connected on this machine | 22:24 |
| pfifo | peyam: bring wilee-nilee's coffee by my place before you take it to him | 22:24 |
| peyam | Dr_Willis: I actually have a conky. but when I updated the distro I got two temps. one for the virtuel device and one for GPU. and both have the same name. When I write temp1 in the conky I get both temperatures but I only want one f them. | 22:24 |
| kostkon | sburjan`, apt-cache show ruby-shadow might show a longer desc. | 22:24 |
| kostkon | hays, ok | 22:25 |

| Dr_Willis | Trudko_: yes. you can resize wingows partions with gparted. and enlarge linux partions with the same tool. | 22:34 |
| u19809 | auscompgeek : correct I run 12.04 ... precise | 22:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | Trudko_: no you need to do it while the partitions are not mounted. so do it from a live cd | 22:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Trudko_: make backups first | 22:34 |
| kostkon | hays, damn. check for drivers in software sources | 22:34 |

| wilee-nilee | Trudko_, I would use windows disk management to resize it then reboot it so the chkdsk run before you install ubuntu. | 22:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Trudko_: use the gparted or some other live -cd - so you have full access to the disks. they must NOT be in use | 22:34 |
| Trudko_ | wilee-nilee: i alredy installed ubuntu but partition I have assigned to it is too small | 22:34 |
| OerHeks | 12.10 is supported until april 2014 | 22:34 |
| wilee-nilee | Trudko_, I would still use windows to resize itself if it were me. | 22:35 |
| hays | kostkon: the brcmsmac module is still loaded... | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Trudko_: and windows can resize its own ntfs (while its in use) and i find does the job much faster then gparted does | 22:35 |
| kostkon | hays, hmmm | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Trudko_: use windows to shrink itself., then use gparted live cd. to elnarge the linux partions | 22:35 |
| Trudko_ | ok so I should resize while in windows ( so now) | 22:35 |
| hays | kostkon: the brcmsmac driver for some reason thinks the wifi is rfkilled with a hardware block | 22:35 |

| nurow | does anyone know of a GUI/fornt-end for sixad or another way to connect SixAxis (PS3) controllers over bluetooth? It is really annoying to have to use a command line every single time I want to use my controller. | 22:49 |
| ixio2 | any idea how to obtain the external IP address of the router I am behind from shell only ? | 22:50 |
| fishscene | nurow: Not that this really helps or whatnot, but if you have to use the terminal, is it possible to script? | 22:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | nurow: could you not write a script for it and link it with a .desktop .... or better yet, detect when the device is plugged in then call the script? | 22:51 |
| hays | pfifo: no effect here.. but it seems like firmware would have to be flashed wouldn't it? | 22:51 |
| nurow | well.. part of my reasoning is the I'm going to be connecting multiple controllers, and I'd like a graphical interface for managing them, disconnecting them etc. | 22:52 |
| pfifo | hays: no | 22:52 |

| pfifo | hays: cant help with anything gui related sorry | 23:02 |
| kostkon | nurow, definitely the executable is qtsixa, i just checked its desktop file | 23:02 |

| ubottu | 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 | 23:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fabio: ubuntu server | 23:07 |

| Fabio | which DE you use? | 23:14 |
| mwhooker | Hi folks. I'm creating a chroot, and running various chef recipes in it. the end result is there are a handful of services that get started. my goal is to stop all these processes so I can remove the chroot. Ideally I would use policy-rc.d to make sure these processes don't start in the first place, but some of the services use upstart which doesn't respect the sysvinit policy files. Does anyone have any ideas? | 23:14 |
| schultza | unity | 23:14 |
| pfifo | mwhooker: your supposed you add a diversion to /sbin/initctl before you start installing software | 23:15 |
| mwhooker | pfifo okay, thanks. I read about that but wasn't sure it was best practice | 23:15 |
| pfifo | mwhooker: reboot to those process to stop, then add the diversion before you continue | 23:15 |
| hays | kostkon: haha. the sta driver is unblocked supposedly but there are no networks. | 23:16 |
| pfifo | to get* | 23:16 |
| Fabio | schultza I do not remember but there was an app for the tweaks?! | 23:16 |
| kostkon | hays, no networks being shown? | 23:16 |
| mwhooker | pfifo I'm pretty new to chroots. what do you mean by reboot? the parent system? | 23:16 |
| hays | kostkon: yeah the scan shows no networks in range | 23:16 |
| schultza | yes.. and there is a bug with that... im following the bug on that... disabled icons, but enabled background image. and made sure something else was "active". relogged in.. initially there were not there, but apparently there is a script that reactivates the desktop icons | 23:17 |
| kostkon | hays, hmm | 23:17 |
| kostkon | hays, try disabling networking and enabling it again | 23:17 |
| schultza | and every time i get an update from ubuntu updates.. my desktop icons reappear.. these icons are redundant for me. | 23:17 |
| kostkon | hays, whats the output of nm-tool | 23:17 |
| pfifo | mwhooker: yes, the processes that started used the host's system's /proc and hence dbus and upstart to start up | 23:18 |
| Quest | my laptop sleeps after some inactivity time. how can i change that. using kde, kubuntu? | 23:18 |
| jcastro_ | schultza, ubuntu doesn't put icons on your desktop by default | 23:18 |
| jcastro_ | which icons do you mean? | 23:18 |
| kostkon | hays, without sudo, just nm-tool | 23:18 |
| schultza | Computer, Home, and Trash. All of which are on my launcher bar. | 23:18 |
| schultza | ie: redundant | 23:18 |
| jcastro_ | do you remember how you added them to the desktop? | 23:19 |
| mwhooker | pfifo that makes a lot of sense. so you're saying the host system needs to be modified? | 23:19 |
| hays | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6297882/ kostkon | 23:19 |
| schultza | i never purposely added them... it was these annoying updates that keep readding them.. since this last update though, they keep reappear after login | 23:19 |
| pfifo | mwhooker: are you trying to end the processes you started? I highly recommend a reboot | 23:19 |
| kostkon | hays, disconnet the lan and see what happens? | 23:20 |
| AzizLight | Hi everybody | 23:20 |
| hays | kostkon: also I should note that there is an LED on my notebook that is usually lit when WiFi is on.. and its not lit. | 23:20 |
| mwhooker | pfifo I don't need the processes to start in the first place | 23:20 |
| jcastro_ | schultza, gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false | 23:20 |
| jcastro_ | should do the trick | 23:20 |
| kostkon | hays, that's not a good sign :/ | 23:20 |

| schultza | thanks.. ill check that out.. | 23:21 |
| pfifo | mwhooker: they start when you install/update them... simply entering the chroot wont make them start | 23:21 |
| AzizLight | but without creating the irssi_scripts/scripts/ dir in the example above | 23:22 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| schultza | nope.. still there | 23:23 |
| mwhooker | pfifo to add more context, the host system is running on ec2. the chroot is a mounted volume containing a base ubuntu install. Nothing is running in the chroot yet. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think redirecting ioctl before running chef (installs extra software, runs it), should make sure that nothing starts. right? | 23:24 |
| chris111 | is there anyway to check if an ftp transfer has completed succesfully? | 23:24 |

| === root is now known as Guest5818 | ||
| pfifo | mwhooker: i cant say for sure as I dont know chef, But I can tell you that running 'dpkg-divert --rename /sbin/initctl' will make upstart jobs NOT run. | 23:26 |

| mwhooker | pfifo oh wow, even better. I didn't know dpkg-divert existed. thanks so much for your help | 23:26 |
| project0101 | hi | 23:26 |
| hays | kostkon: actually, nevermind.. I think this solution is pretty suboptimal. Im just going to figure out how to revert to the raring stack | 23:27 |
| hays | err quantal stack | 23:27 |
| pfifo | importantmwhooker: 'dpkg-divert --rename /sbin/initctl && ln -sf /bin/ture /sbin/initctl' to be exact, the symlink is | 23:27 |

| pfifo | mwhooker: 'dpkg-divert --rename /sbin/initctl && ln -sf /bin/ture /sbin/initctl' to be exact, the symlink is important | 23:27 |

| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| pfifo | mwhooker: dpkg-divert is grat because if you upgrade upstart, it will see the diversion, and leave it in place | 23:28 |
| sam113101 | what's a system compositor? | 23:29 |
| Ari-Yang | hays: why would you want to run kernel 3.5 on ubuntu 13.10? and you can download kernels and easily install them from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 23:29 |
| hays | Ari-Yang: oh because wireless is borked on 3.8 | 23:29 |
| hays | its in the backscroll if you are curious | 23:29 |
| Ari-Yang | hays: I thought ubuntu 13.10 runs on kernel 3.11 | 23:29 |
| hays | Ari-Yang: hmm well 3.8 seems to be where the problem starts | 23:31 |
| hays | but i was pretty sure the update to 13.10 is when my system started borking. | 23:31 |
| Ari-Yang | hays: what's the output of uname -r ? | 23:31 |
| pfifo | sam113101: a compisitor is like a middle man between windows and the X windows system | 23:32 |
| hays | Ari-Yang: right now im on precise with a raring LTS enablement stack | 23:32 |
| hays | been trying to locate the problem | 23:32 |
| sam113101 | pfifo: isn't that the job of the window manager? | 23:32 |
| pfifo | sam113101: a compisitor is the graphical side, windows draw their buttons on a buffer provided by the compisitor, the compisitor draws the buffer where ever the window manager says | 23:34 |
| pfifo | sam113101: compisitors also enable some neat-o effects like fade in and out | 23:35 |
| hays | so.. is it advisable to run 13.10 with 3.2 or 3.5 kernel? | 23:36 |
| hays | just so i get the other shiny things that come along after 12.04 LTS came out | 23:37 |
| Ari-Yang | hays: what graphics card do you have? | 23:37 |

| wilee-nilee | cylex, Then, is there a uefi set up now? | 23:53 |
| cylex | wilee-nilee: not sure it only runs in legacy mode for me, so far. | 23:54 |

| hays | holy balls that 3.11 kernel works | 23:55 |
| wilee-nilee | cylex, uefi and msdos are completely different, and require different install parameters, so this is key information if you want correct info. | 23:56 |
| cylex | wilee-nilee: so uefi is propietary so it can't be dualbooted. | 23:58 |
| cylex | right? | 23:58 |
| wilee-nilee | cylex, No, it is just a different type of install. | 23:58 |
| hays | if I want to update to 13.10, do I run update-manager -d ? that seems to push me to update to 14.x | 23:58 |
| ObrienDave | cylex... yes it can be dual booted. | 23:59 |
| Ari-Yang | [19:55:53] <hays> holy balls that 3.11 kernel works ---> nice :T | 23:59 |
