[00:00] ObrienDave: how so [00:00] hays: from 13.04 , to 13.10 update-manager -d [00:00] hays: but its better to backup your files, and do a fresh install [00:00] hays: if you're on 12.04, then you're going to have to upgrade to 13.04 then upgrade from there to 13.10 [00:00] cylex: its telling me to update to 14.04 [00:01] hays: be aware though, 13.10 might have some bugs.... [00:01] cylex, You are missing the point you have to know what the setup is to install correctly, and we do to to help. [00:01] hays: don't, its buggy [00:01] cylex: there's no option for 13.10 [00:01] hays: apt-get dist-upgrade [00:01] hays: apt-get upgrade [00:01] cylex... OMG wilee-nilee is trying to help you. follow HIS instructions [00:01] I don't see Wille 's instrudction\ [00:02] *gives up and walks away* [00:02] trying to setup a reverse proxy without any luck, anyone have a few min to spare to help out? let me know what I need to post [00:02] cylex, what is your native language? [00:02] wilee-nilee: guju [00:03] !upgrade | hays [00:03] hays: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [00:03] so if update-manager is forcing me to 14.04 is there another supported upgrade path [00:03] wilee-nilee: gujarati [00:03] hays: you want to upgrade to 14.04? [00:03] !in | cylex [00:03] cylex: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [00:03] hays: or you want to do a dist-upgrade [00:04] wilee-nilee: I live in US, but why are you forwarding me there [00:04] wilee-nilee: heh [00:04] so I installed knapshot to get a screenshot. Print sc key didn't seem to be auto saving to anywhere. Anyway any insight as to why my terminal letter spacing looks this way? http://imgur.com/085KN3r I'm using Lubuntu by the way. [00:04] cylex: he wants to upgrade to 13.10 [00:04] :| [00:04] cylex, I have been very clear with, however you seem to not understand, that's why. [00:05] then just type update-manager [00:05] without -d [00:05] *nibbles fingers* [00:05] Willie-nileee: You said there isn't a way to dual boot, but ObrienDave said willee-nileee is helping you and he knows how to dual boot with win8 [00:05] it seems like you guys don't want to help [00:06] anyone can help me with Dual boot, with Win8 + Ubuntu [00:06] hello, i enabled high-contrast while i was trying to install ubuntu for the first time, and i now couldn't find how to disable it.. I'm sorry, i'm so new on ubuntu [00:06] cylex... seems like YOU'RE not paying attention [00:07] ObrienDave: he says you can't [00:07] wilee-nilee: the only language allowed in #ubuntu-in is English [00:07] HE DID NOT SAY THAT [00:07] yes he did [00:07] whatever, bye [00:07] !dual-boot > cylex [00:07] cylex, please see my private message [00:07] sisterFister: Change your font and use one that has 'mono' in its title. For the terminal you need a font with one fixed space for each 'sign' [00:07] now update-manager -d is telling me to upgrade to 12.10 [00:07] thanks, Ari-Yang :> [00:07] it seems it gives pseudorandom recommendations :) [00:08] hays: what version you are on [00:08] hays: if you're on 12.04, you'll have to upgrade to 12.10 [00:08] 12.04 [00:08] hays: then upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 [00:08] minimec: you just saved my life [00:08] trying to get to 13.10 [00:08] hays: then from 13.04 upgrade to 13.10 [00:08] Ari-Yang: ahh ok [00:08] hays: or you can just download 13.10 iso and install it using that [00:08] :I [00:09] LjL, I didn't know that, well they wont communicate with them either then. ;) [00:09] sisterFister: I do that every day... ;) [00:09] pro [00:09] wilee-nilee> cylex, No, it is just a different type of install. [00:09] Ari-Yang: yeah that may or may not be faster [00:09] based on my internet connection heh [00:09] that does NOT say it can't be done [00:10] and I have no CDROM drive so that complicates things perhaps [00:10] ill just do it this way... [00:10] minimec: would you have an idea as to why i can use something like liberation sans in ubuntu terminal but not in lubuntu lxde terminal? [00:10] This yields some info on Windows 8 and Ubuntu dual-booting and some of the issues: http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported [00:11] sisterFister: some terminal apps filter out all the non-mono fonts. because anything thats not mono - can look totally unreadable [00:11] sisterfister: stop trolling [00:12] ty Dr_Willis [00:12] sisterFister: Probably because the lxde cannot use ttf fonts. So you only have some basic 'old system fonts' available. [00:12] is that sister in the familiar or religious sense [00:12] sisterFister:... the lxde terminal, I mean [00:12] hays: religious [00:13] hmm.. lxterm here seems to call 'xterm; [00:13] Really liking lubuntu so far though. Much quicker on this laptop that I had in the closet. [00:13] How about setting global keybindings? I googled around but didn't really find what I was looking for. [00:13] in lubuntu [00:13] oh wait.. lxterm is not lxde's terminal. ;P [00:14] gnome 3.10 makes saucy really saucy. === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [00:14] i am trying to work out the implications of a sister fister in terms of biblical interpretations of consumation [00:14] quite possible this is green-lighted behaviour. anyway [00:15] hays: nun who has a stripper name. [00:15] sisterFister: This is a cool tool for keybindigs 'outside' of the window manager http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=xbindkeys&searchon=names [00:16] minimec: nice ty! [00:16] Hello, I'm new to Linux! Nice to meet you all! Hello world! [00:16] lol [00:16] I'd like to report a bug and I have no idea how to use the tracker: Upgrader lies about how much disk space is needed to upgrade to 13.10. Had 50 MB more than required, it crashed due to zero disk space during upload. (Machine with SSD). [00:16] sisterFister: the 'config' package is the GUI [00:16] s/upload/upgrade [00:17] so let me get this straight... my subversion client from 13.10 wants me to upgrade my repo, but now in 12.04 I cant upgrade my subversion client to the same version that 13.10 has, forcing me to keep 2 different working copies in my home folder. This is major problem here, im considering reporting this as a bug before I compile from source. [00:17] moppy, sometimes the data space is read differently in different apps, you should not have it that full anyway. [00:18] "Ubunt, linux for people (but screw developers)" [00:18] pfifo one good reason to switch to git ;) === azureuser is now known as Dragonberry [00:19] hitsujiTMO_: my hosting provider uses subversion, and im happy with their price [00:19] wilee-nilee, I had approximately 1. 3 GB free. This is kind of normal for small SSD laptops. [00:19] moppy, hardly [00:19] hello, i enabled high-contrast while i was trying to install ubuntu for the first time, and i now couldn't find how to disable it.. I'm sorry, i'm so new on ubuntu, so can you help please [00:19] the process for reporting a bug is usually to (1) report the bug through official channels (2) get flamed by a low level dev for some real or imaginary mistake you've made. (4) address the mistake (5) watch dupes being assigned to your bug (6) eventually the software in queston will be deprecated (7) bug will be marked WONTFIX. ok in all seriousness there should be a bug reporting system pretty easily finable via google [00:19] pfifo, ahh, your not using a vps? [00:20] I've omitted step 3, which is a surprise [00:20] people may fill them up but that is bad practice [00:20] hitsujiTMO_: I use a free service that provides subversion, if I use my VPS and dont pay the bill they delete my precious code [00:21] lol hays [00:21] wilee-nilee, 16GB SSD with two OS; Ubuntu has about just under 2 GB left after a fresh install. [00:21] i have a bug i opened in thunderbird in something like 2001 that is still open and still debated. [00:21] hitsujiTMO_: or if I do pay my bill and do something stupid, I delete my code [00:21] I finally had to unsuscribe to the bug because I don't use thunderbird anymore and it was making me depressed === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [00:21] ubuntu is infested with bugs [00:21] pfifo, i getcha [00:22] hi [00:22] anyone here?/ [00:22] wilee-nilee, doubltless you will say "get a bigger SSD" but thing is a chip on the main board [00:22] moppy [00:22] are you a windows user? [00:22] moppy, right, now you can read my mind, lol. [00:22] project0101, not regularly, no. the other OS is chromeOS [00:23] hi everybody, i have some noob asks. [00:24] no real stress, the data isn't local, i'm running the system restore ATM and will reinstal from fresh [00:24] moppy, why not get rid of chrome os? kinda pointless having it when you can have chrome in a real os is it not? [00:24] moppy: the problem with your SSD is that you're holding it wrong. [00:24] hitsujiTMO_, you're welcome to tell me how do that :-) bearing in mind chromebooks have firmware designed to boot it [00:24] Igom: Feel free to ask a question. [00:24] hays, clearly! i agree! [00:24] i have a 2gb ram, 200 hd, core 2 duo 1.50 Ghz laptop and i want to know what's the best distro i can use? [00:25] sometimes ubuntu get lag. [00:25] moppy: Some of the chromebooks can be put into a developer mode and have the OS wiped I believe [00:25] moppy: but I think this incurs a 5 second delay at boot time or something [00:25] lgom... I suggest Xubuntu [00:25] hays, well you have to be in developer mode that to even get ubuntu on there in the first place [00:25] lgom: You can try some of the lighter Ubuntu flavors such as Xubuntu or lubuntu [00:25] lgon, ubuntu might be better if you disable background blur in unity search [00:25] if you are concerned about ubuntu being to "heavy" yeah xubuntu is a good choice [00:26] lo0k im not upset, im saying the installer lies about disk space required. [00:26] there's an xfce mint also >ducks< [00:26] lgom, what DE would you normally use? [00:26] *throws a trout at hays* ;) [00:26] thats a great info, thanks. [00:27] but everyone lies about disk space. that's a long standing tradition in the PC community [00:27] sorry hitsujiTMO_ what's DE means? [00:27] sorry @hitsujiTMO_ what's DE means? [00:27] Igom: desktop environment [00:27] lgom, desktop environment [00:27] lgom... Desktop Environment === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [00:27] lgom: i.e. KDE, gnome, xfce, etc... [00:28] http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [00:28] this URI points to brief guidelines for bug reporting in ubuntu [00:28] gnome on ubuntu 13.10 [00:29] hays, I see now it is clearly not a bug as you say everyone lies about disk space ... i'll pass on the report :-) [00:29] hehe moppy im mostly joking around, feel free to try the bug reporting process. some projects are better than others [00:29] lgom, ubuntu by default has unity (unity sits on top of a hacked up gnome2) ... you can also get a install disk with gnome 3 instad of unity [00:29] erm i mean i will pass; not i will pass it on :) [00:30] lgom, Install htop and check whats running when it lags, and don;t overdrive the hardware if you are, install a lighter desktop if needed. [00:30] Igom: cor 2 duo ismore than enough for unity, as is your ram [00:30] moppy, it is not necessarily a lie, some calculate in 1,000 character blocks. Some use 1024 blocks. can make quite a difference in the end [00:30] and with the quality of installers getting markedly better in recent years, someone might actually care to fix a bug like that [00:31] Igom: the issue you migt have is 3d acceleration [00:31] moppy its enough? i have 2gb for ram [00:31] i think that i can install and other ubuntu flavor, i like xubuntu. [00:32] lgom, more than enough, as i said earlier, easiest thing to cut down some of the chug in unity is to disable background blur (do it in unity-tweak-tool) [00:32] but i really likes ubuntu looks (default) [00:32] two gig ram is more than enough, really. your problem will be unity needs 3d acceleration from the GPU. [00:32] lgom: im running straight ubuntu and its fine on this celeron 2gb machine [00:33] lgom: but applications are not always very snappy at loading. a different wm probably won't change that much [00:33] maybe a little if it frees up some memory [00:33] hitsujiTMO_, unity sits on top of gnome 3 as a plugin on compiz [00:33] anybody knows about the citadel server coredump problem described in bug 911732?

[00:34] Ari-Yang: yeah, i know. [00:34] hays you are running out of memory? what apps are you running? unity + a browser have a footprint of about 1 gig [00:34] Ari-Yang: whenever I try that it ends up being annoying.. BIOS settings to fish around in, weird methods to make the USB stick, finding a USB stick in my pile that I can erase... etc :) [00:35] you can dd the iso straight to a usb stick [00:35] hitsujiTMO_, The fallback desktop is a pseudo gnome2 is all [00:35] moppy: no, im fine i was just commenting that I have a weak, slow computer and it runs straight ubuntu fine. [00:35] yeah that part is easier in linux. [00:36] could someone with unity run this command please: qdbus --session com.canonical.indicator.session [00:36] pastebin results [00:36] well i read that i can still running ubuntu with out problems. That's ok. I really love to wor on my laptop when i erase windows at all! XD [00:36] well on windows, there's a graphical usb creator you can download from a link on the ubuntu site in the inatsllation guide [00:36] *work [00:36] the other reason I'm not doing it is because this laptop has a pretty neat "restore to factory" feature built in that I don't want to accidentally corrupt/erase by doing a fresh install [00:36] igom: you might need to use a different desktop, but see how it goes. i dont know what GPU your machine has [00:37] im __pretty__ sure its just a recovery partition, but im not sure because apt- sometimes gives me messages about it too [00:38] yay got chrome OS back running; just got to re-partition and install Saucy now [00:38] and ASUS has apparently denied existence of this laptop model existing at all, so finding any sort of recovery disk is basically impossilble [00:38] uhmmm i don't now what gpu has.

[01:02] everald, open the app, it's on the front page at the top [01:06] Ok, thanks. BTW wondering what the "Ubuntu One" folder in my home is for? [01:07] everald, that folder is sync'ed with the cloud [01:07] I was thinking that it was a remote mount of the ubuntu one space, but that doesn't seem to be the case--it seems to be a local folder. [01:07] Aha. Got it. [01:07] everald, it is a remote mount but you need to enable it [01:07] well it's not a mount [01:07] it's a sync'ed copy sorry [01:09] Yes, got it. [01:09] There's a problem: the backup tool still says "Backup location is too small. Try using one with more space.", [01:10] even though I purchased more space, have got 25G now, and only 13% used. [01:10] Actually it was using 3.2 GB before, out of 5GB. Why is it saying it doesn't have enough space? [01:12] Hm, could it be running out of space in /tmp or somewhere? [01:12] Sigh, imprecise error messages. [01:13] Hi there. I recently upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 (amd64) over three machines. Am impressed with how the interface keeps getting more polished. One minor issue that arises is that in Unity on one machine I can no get programs or files shown in the hud when I type. the 'search' icon just turns ... Is there something I missed (eg. unity equivalent of update-dlocatedb) ? [01:22] hey [01:22] ok good its working [01:23] yey [01:25] Okay, so I recently bought a new Laptop, and It had Windows 8 on. I formatted my 8GB USB Stick and put Ubuntu 13.10 64-Bit on it and restarted the PC. Everything is fine, but I'm now at the Installation type / Custom partition thing. [01:25] But I have a problem here. [01:25] I can't add the 827MB of Free Space in /dev/sda to /dev/sda2 [01:25] /dev/sda2 is the main 1TB Hard Drive. [01:26] Hey guys im having an issue. My motherboard has onboard audio Creative CA0132 chip [01:26] Im having trouble getting this to work [01:26] /dev/sda was the recovery drive from HP. [01:27] Ok, seems that we actually had too much stuff to backup (more than the 25GB), and did't see the error message in the past. Ignored part of the home dir, now seems ok. [01:27] ctcb... do you really want to do this? [01:28] ObrienDave, I'm losing 827MB from my 1TB Hard Drive. :( [01:28] I need all those MB's. === peter is now known as Guest66713 === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [01:29] ctcb... only asking if you are SURE you want to kill windows recovery [01:31] I'm sure, I don't want to go back to Windows. I only use Windows on my Gaming PC, because 95% of the Games in the world aren't Linux Compatable yet. [01:33] ctcb, Have you installed linux yet? [01:33] wilee-nilee, not yet, I'm on the screen where you pick what Drive to install to, and you can edit them and stuff. [01:34] he's just starting the install i think. [01:34] the gparted screen [01:34] ctcb, Yu plan to keep windows at all on the HD? [01:34] wilee-nilee, not at all. [01:34] Ubuntu is my laptop OS. :D [01:35] ctcb, That is a uefi gpt partitioning setup removing windows completely, may require a new partition table to msdos to just run linux easily. [01:36] and setting the bios to legacy, be careful here [01:36] hey guys, anyone familiar with unetbootin? [01:37] kxtwo, many are state the issues to the channel. [01:37] wilee-nilee: Would it be better to install Ubuntu on my HD, and then extend it by moving the free space? [01:38] ctcb, That has nothing to do with what I said, do you understand what I stated as a possibility? [01:39] wilee-nilee, Uh... no? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [01:40] yah, the # is empty so thought it might be worth coming here. ANyway, my friend wants windows on a laptop so I am using unetbootin to create a windows 7 usb. it is stuck at 52 percent though. I looked it up on the net and it said its normal to hang for a few minutes at that point because its is over 2G file size but its been 20+ minutes. was wondering if anyone had any ideas [01:41] FYI the reason im using unetbootin is because I only have ubuntu, no windows. [01:42] ctcb, That is okay, windows 8 has a totally different partitioning set up and bios then earlier computers, it is a uefi safe boot and gpt partitioning, that is attached to the main chip, and the ubuntu install would be communicating with that W8 system to run normally. Removing all of it may need you to change the partition table to be run ubuntu only, I would get help on this is all I suggest. [01:46] anything [01:47] kxtwo, what IS are you using to load the W7 to the usb? [01:47] OS* [01:47] um [01:47] ubuntu... [01:48] kxtwo, use this. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/tool-to-create-windows-usb-install.html [01:48] unetbootin sometimes has worked supposedly, this tool does everytime.

[02:28] it is running just really slowly [02:28] kxtwo, where was the iso gotten from? [02:28] this a microsoft ISO? [02:29] yes [02:29] kxtwo, and gotten from where? [02:29] from microsoft [02:30] that would've been my guess :p [02:30] kxtwo: what're you trying to do? [02:31] reisio, load a W7 iso to a usb. [02:31] install win7 on a friends laptop. I dont hve windows so was trying to put the iso on a usb to install. [02:31] I used unetbootin but it froze at 52 percent for over 30 minuts, now trying winusb but its super slow. Might be working but don't know yet [02:31] kxtwo: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28033/how-to-check-the-information-of-current-installed-video-drivers [02:31] only reliable way I have ever come across [02:32] erm, wrong paste [02:32] kxtwo: http://serverfault.com/questions/6714/how-to-make-windows-7-usb-flash-install-media-from-linux#answer-167060 [02:33] kxtwo, I have to wonder if the iso is not corrupted should not take that long to load, how big is the iso if you right click it then hit properties [02:33] close to 4 [02:33] 4 bytes? [02:34] kxtwo, 4 gigs, what release? [02:34] you can get the windows image checksums off of msdn [02:34] yeah I would do that [02:34] Has anybody ever used xubuntu ? [02:35] all the time ;) [02:36] at this point I'd be better off with a torrented version jeez [02:37] kxtwo, were you trying to setup dual boot? [02:37] ObrienDave: I don't wanna challenge the dictatorship of operators. would you be available at #ubuntu-offtopic for a quick question ? [02:37] kxtwo: http://is.gd/X4IjmC the 'Details' link expands and shows a sha-1 sum, ordinary Windows 7 x64 Ultimate in English is listed as, for example, 'Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) - DVD (English)' [02:37] sure, if I can [02:38] kxtwo, a torrent version would not be safe, nor will you get any support anywhere on freenode unless you lie. [02:38] reisio but is his iso an msdn one? [02:39] hitsujiTMO: if he doesn't know, those sums can tell him [02:39] let it go wilee-nilee It was obvious from your questionining you were against pirating, but torrenting does not equal pirating :) [02:39] Hey guys I installed 13.10 server on a laptop, how sd config the power management so that it is always on? [02:39] kxtwo, that is a assumption, and torrenting is illegal to get windows. [02:39] it'd be safe if the checksum passed, but that is another discussion [02:40] opps * how do I [02:40] I hate it when people dont understand how this works [02:40] torrenting is not illegal [02:40] sublimefreak: should be in the menu somewheres [02:40] if I have rights to what I am downloading [02:40] It is to get windows [02:40] kxtwo: it's not even if you don't :) but that's not really what this channel is for talking about [02:41] reisio, I know I am just responding to wilee-nilee it was blatantly obvious from the get go he was trying to dig and find out if I was pirating 7 lol. [02:41] reisio how do I get to the menu from the command line? [02:41] as to putting a valid Windows image onto USB from Ubuntu, I gave you a link explaining how to do it, so you're all set :) [02:41] kxtwo: I know I know :) [02:41] reisio, im still holding out on winusb [02:41] I think he's probably just trying to be in compliance with the channel and network rules [02:41] kxtwo do you have a licence on the bottom of your laptop? [02:41] reisio, just not sure why its so slow [02:41] oh [02:41] kxtwo: really, that thing I linked is the only reliable way I've come across [02:41] sublimefreak: ordinarily you don't [02:41] sublimefreak: some reason you need to? [02:42] I also gave a excellent tool that is a fork of the windows usb tool [02:42] how to set up 5G wifi in ubuntu? [02:42] microsoft dvd usb image tool? [02:42] is unreliable [02:42] I think they violated GPL on that one, too [02:42] The server is command line only isn't it? [02:42] if I get desperate I will just grab a windows machine [02:42] sublimefreak: ordinarily [02:42] sublimefreak: it also wouldn't have power management set to sleep the system [02:43] reisio: its easier to use diskpart ... especially if you wany uefi boot [02:43] reisio, The fork works and the tool is provided by them, all ones needs anyway is a ntfs with a boot flag and a extract toiboot it anyway [02:43] hitsujiTMO: more reliable, I'm sure [02:43] all I know is it failed when I tried it :) [02:44] using diskpart allows you to format the usb as fat32, ms tool only formats it as ntfs ... and you have to have fat32 for uefi install [02:44] reisio: which part is supposed to help me? [02:44] sam113101: the stuff about grepping and lsmod [02:45] I know what my graphic card is and which X driver is in use [02:45] reisio, it seems to have some sort of power management. Everytime the screen turns off on the laptop I lose my ssh connection on my other machine. [02:45] sam113101: what do you need to know? [02:45] I don't know if the kernel uses a specific driver [02:45] to allow KMS [02:45] sublimefreak: hrmm [02:45] sublimefreak: check your ssh timeout first [02:46] sublimefreak: but that'd be normal, actually, nevermind [02:46] KMS = the kernel knows about my graphic card and the bootsplash can display better, right? [02:46] sublimefreak: unless you're using screen/tmux, if your client dies, that's it [02:46] sam113101: potentially, yup, "better" [02:47] ok I'll investigate further. Thanks reisio [02:48] sublimefreak: sounds like you just need to use screen or tmux on the server, and toggle your client box's power management if it still bothers you [02:51] Is there a way to disable thumbnails by size ? Whenever I use type in a .py or .cs file the thumbnail shows text. I know to how to disable thumbnails on nautilus, but is there a way to do this by file types ? Thanks [02:53] so it's making a thumbnail of the text appearance instead of just using an icon? [02:53] reisio: yes [02:53] is there a terminal comand i can use to move any file with word 'cover' in the file name? [02:53] that does sound silly [02:54] dannymichel: yeah... [02:54] reisio: can you let me know it? [02:55] dannymichel: this will give you the right idea http://is.gd/I2Fq4P [02:55] dannymichel: yeah I'll have to figure it out, min [02:55] oh in the file name [02:55] dannymichel, you need something more complicated than a simple mv command? [02:55] bah I was thinking within the file for some reason [02:56] yeah find start/point/ -iname '*cover*' -exec mv -n {} new/path/ \; should suffice [02:56] or -name if you only want lowercase 'cover' exactly [02:57] do it with just find start/point/ -iname '*cover*' first, so you know all the files you find are the ones you want to move, then add the rest [02:57] reisio: should the console font also be ajusted to my screen? ie. not 800x600 on a 1920x1200 monitor [02:57] sam113101: hrmm? [02:58] KMS [02:58] sometimes it's stretched out ;_; [02:59] it's probably using the best res it can for your monitor [02:59] no, i just need a simple mv command garcianc . [02:59] you could reconfigure it to something you might personally prefer, probably [02:59] but I wouldn't bother if you're only going to be in X most of the time [02:59] i tried find ~/Desktop/Advertising\ CSR/ -iname "*cover" -exec mv {} ~/Desktop/Resume \; in the terminal and it didnt work [02:59] dannymichel: *cover or *cover* ? [03:00] garcianc was basically asking if you needed to find them recursively [03:00] or if they can all be assumed to be in one dir [03:00] dannymichel, if case is not an issue you can simply use: mv *cover* [03:00] any file with the name cover in the file name [03:00] in the case of the latter, you could just do mv -n dir/*cover* elsewhere/ [03:00] "nomodeset" disables KMS? [03:01] ' ~/Desktop/Resume' is the destination [03:01] sam113101: ms stands for mode setting [03:01] GUYS! I did a sudo apt-get update and now my moka icon theme isn't working in unity? [03:01] dannymichel: is it an existing directory? [03:01] ~/Desktop/Advertising\ CSR/ is wher eim looking in garcianc [03:01] so? [03:01] does anyone in here have experience setting up reverse proxies using apache? [03:02] sam113101: so yes [03:02] cool man [03:02] nownot: #httpd [03:02] reisio: it's dead in there :( [03:02] my brain is putting it all together, finally [03:03] garcianc: thanks [03:03] that worked [03:03] so the kernel driver and the X driver are two different drivers? [03:03] cool [03:04] but I guess the kernel driver does less stuff, so is less complex [03:04] just setting the resolution and color depth, maybe [03:05] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_setting#Linux [03:05] they both have their place [03:06] ok [03:06] reisio: do you know where I can learn more about unix-like operating system, such as current linux distros? know more about their inner working, the components, startup process, etc. [03:07] the graphic stack [03:07] hey, i was wondering if i could get a little help with installing alongside win8. [03:07] have an overview of existing unix tools [03:07] sam113101: google [03:07] sam113101: what you just asked isn't really an ubuntu tech support question... [03:08] sam113101: wikipedia will suffice for general knowledge [03:08] IzzyD: what about it? [03:08] and before i get the answer to google it, i have a few install guides already, but the seem to keep failing me. [03:09] reisio: i've tried to install multiple times already with little to no success. [03:10] IzzyD: what happens? [03:10] reisio: usually it's been a pretty smooth install for me on other laptops and desktops, but this time i'm having all kinds of problems that i'm assuming have to do with secure boot and the uefi. [03:10] like what? [03:10] IzzyD: can you boot the installer? [03:11] reisio: when i boot from usb it take me to the grub installer, where i have the options to try, install or oem install, but no matter what option i tried, it just sends me to a black screen and sits there. [03:12] IzzyD: add kernel param nomodeset [03:12] !nomodeset [03:12] 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 [03:12] hitsujiTMO: what exactly is that? [03:12] e) to edit kernel line/entrys - theres a line that says 'quiet splash' make it 'quiet nomodeset splash' [03:13] IzzyD: it turns off graphical things you don't need, that may potentially malfunction [03:13] the theres some key (f10?) to boot the new edited entry. [03:13] Dr_Willis: what's "quiet" for? [03:13] quiet is for the loggine messages. [03:13] quiet = doesnt spit dmesg at you [03:13] change it to noquiet nomodeset nofb if you want. [03:14] nofb = ? [03:14] reisio: hitsujiTMO will it affect my windows 8 install at all? [03:14] framebuffer [03:14] so networking and httpd is dead, anyone got a few to help me out with reverse proxy? [03:14] noquiet nofb nomodeset nosplash ;) turns about everything off [03:15] where can I change that, man, ubuntu doesn't install grub (or hides it, idk) nowadays [03:15] IzzyD: not yet ... wait till you get to the installer for all that [03:15] IzzyD: it's just for the installer session [03:15] nofb = uses text mode instead? [03:15] right [03:15] console uses framebufer by default. [03:15] that makes it not use the frameuffer console [03:15] sam113101: grub stays quiet unless you fail to boot, or you hold right shift on boot [03:16] right shift, will try it [03:16] reisio: hitsujiTMO: do either of you have a way that i can contact you off from here? this is the laptop i'm trying to install on. [03:16] IzzyD: fraid not [03:16] IzzyD: if you can get it to boot, just come back here on the live OS [03:16] there's an IRC client on there, IIRC [03:16] if I use text mode and don't have a monitor, but have a vt100 attached to the computer, will it use the vt100? [03:17] IzzyD: you'd want to start with 'try' instead of 'install' in that case [03:17] ok, and how do i go about installing the nomodeset? [03:17] IzzyD: it's just an option you pass, I thought someone told the bot to tell you how [03:17] sam113101, that'd be kewl [03:18] I wonder if my BIOS supports terminals [03:18] I hope yes [03:18] IzzyD: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png F6 [03:18] IzzyD: you dont install "nomodeset" you just choose it at the grub option ... edit it with e and append nomodeset then hit f10 as the doc stated [03:18] i've tried "try" a few times already and it still takes me to the same thing. [03:18] IzzyD: right, that's for after using nomodeset :) [03:18] reisio: the grub/boot screen looks nothing like that :P [03:18] hi. i have a dual screen setup but one of them is a tv. is there an app like a pager that will show me what's going on with my other screen so if it's powered off I can move windows from it to my powered screen? [03:18] so you can use IRC before installing [03:19] hitsujiTMO: does it have an F6 option? [03:19] i'm constantly opening windows on the wrong screen and having to power on the tv to move them [03:19] infinitux: yes, a pager [03:19] no just lists the install or try ... just needs to hilight try ubuntu and press e to edit it [03:19] okay [03:19] infinitux: you could also probably have wmctrl or devilspie dynamically move them [03:19] thanks. [03:20] reisio: i don't get the purple screen because my laptop is uefi. [03:20] hitsujiTMO: well that's what's in ubottu's link :/ [03:20] reisio: its quite outdated at this stage :P [03:20] good times [03:20] reisio: a lot of the links really need to get updated [03:21] reisio: am i allowed to link to an image in here? [03:22] IzzyD: course [03:22] reisio: http://i.imgur.com/4TjxW.jpg this is what install looks like. [03:22] 2girls1cup [03:22] what hitsujiTMO said should work, though, if you get a grub screen [03:22] IzzyD: right, hit 'e' and do what hitsujiTMO said [03:22] izzy, highlight try and press 'e' [03:23] cameras are so kewl [03:23] ok, hopefully i'll be back soon ^^ [03:23] yup :) [03:29] updated from 13.04 to 13.10 and now my virtualhost's pages are getting error 403, Forbidden :( === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [03:31] Crazyzurfer: apache httpd has been updated to 2.4 from 2.2 in 13.10 ... new config method [03:32] Crazyzurfer: have a read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/upgrading.html on the changes you need to make to your virtualhosts [03:32] really... [03:32] could be an opportune time to switch to nginx, then :) [03:32] hitsujiTMO: thanks, I'll read it [03:32] reisio: its not an abolutely crazy config, but it confuses the hell of a lot of people ... but do switch to nginx ... much sweeter :P [03:33] +1 for nginx ;) [03:33] yeah and if you have to learn a little new config anyways... [03:33] I find nginx's simpler anyways [03:33] Well I wanted to thank you guys [03:33] Got ubuntu fully installed :) [03:34] Does anyone know what I should do in this case? I did an apt uprgrade and it downloaded the latest version of the moka icon pack but now suddenly it won't work for the unity launcher anymore [03:34] reisio: far less to type at least :P ... i just wish it had decent relative path support [03:34] daniel_: change themes? or icon packs? [03:35] hitsujiTMO: relative path? [03:35] YellowGTO: gj [03:35] hitsujiTMO: Woorked! :) [03:35] Hitsujitm0 nooooooooooo moka looks so good [03:36] is there a chance that unity's been updated so that it can no longer be altered by ubuntu tweak tool [03:36] 0 [03:37] I use the tweak took in 13.10 [03:37] reisio: i failed >> [03:37] garcianc I'm on 12.04 and it's worked fine until today [03:37] reisio: as in if i could specify a root path (not the www root) for a server such as /home/www/domain ... i could then specify that the www root is www not /home/www/domainname/www or my ssl key is ssl/ssl.key not /home/www/domain/ssl/ssl.key [03:38] good morning to all [03:38] phpmyadmin now says: The json extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. :( [03:38] IzzyD: grr ... ok, how did you create the installer? [03:38] IzzyD: what happened? [03:38] daniel_... more likely is your system is too old to work with a newer version of tweak-tool [03:38] hitsujiTMO: hrmmm, I thought it took arbitrary variables [03:39] reisio: hitsujiTMO: this one was my fault, i couldn't remember what to do after hitting e. [03:39] IzzyD: ahhh lol ... append nomodeset to the end [03:39] hey guys , link for 0AD on ubuntu please ? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [03:40] reisio: hitsujiTMO: just type that into the command line? [03:40] izzyd yup [03:40] neetz_: whats 0AD?

[03:54] What I understood from total drive encryption is that it create a second partition in LVM which is encrypted, so far so good, however what happens if this partition gets "damaged" due to a power failure it's not able to write correctly to the encrypted drive and gets corrupt, is there a way to repair this? [03:54] hey everyone does anyone know how to install java for backtrack 5r3? [03:54] !backtrack | DeusExitium [03:54] DeusExitium: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[03:54] IzzyD: you in? [03:54] lotuspsychje: command please , ubuntu newbie here [03:54] hitsujiTMO: how EXACTLY do i type it in after hitting e? [03:54] thanks ubottu [03:54] Paulus68_1... if the encrypted drive gets corrupted, you're SOL [03:55] this is why you make backups ; [03:55] neetz_: maybe get the .deb from ObrienDave suggested you [03:55] ObrienDave: SOL? [03:55] !aptoncd | neetz_ [03:55] neetz_: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [03:55] Super Out Of Luck [03:55] SOL Sorry, out of luck [03:56] Dr_Willis: ok [03:56] ObrienDave: what about if drive is only half broken [03:56] and that's being NICE about it [03:56] IzzyD: errm, tis a long time since i've had 2 do it, give me a sec and ill have a look [03:57] IzzyD: should just have to go the line that starts with 'linux', hit END, add ' nomodeset' [03:58] people, an ENCRYPTED drive is nothing more than ONE giant file. what do you suppose would happen if ANY part of that file was corrupted? [03:58] IzzyD: then do what it says at the bottom of the screen to boot [03:58] ObrienDave: hmm so if you don't encrypt your drive and you get a bad drive because of power failure you might be lucky in order to retrieve some data, but if you are paranoid and you enccrypted your harddrive you loose by definition all your data [03:58] ObrienDave: that isn't necessarily true ;) [03:58] ObrienDave: I know it's a big file [03:58] lotuspsychje: ok [03:58] reisio: that's what i just tried and it still just brought me to a solid black screen. [03:58] IzzyD: horrors [03:58] ObrienDave: can you restore lost data with photorec on an encrypted drive? [03:59] lotuspsychje: that would be a neat trick. [03:59] NOT if you lose the key [04:00] ObrienDave: so its impossible to retrieve data with data recovery software? [04:00] since every encrypted drive is mathematically different, if you lose the key, it's history [04:00] cool [04:01] that's the same with anything, though [04:01] if you lose it it's lost [04:01] data recovery cannot recover data from an encrypted drive without the key [04:01] ObrienDave: tnx [04:02] ObrienDave: fair enough [04:02] * lotuspsychje can sleep in peace again while the fbi knocks on his door [04:02] LOL [04:03] IzzyD: ok, when you hit e a text editor like thing comes one ... on the second last line )starting with "linux" go the the end of that and just after splash append nomodeset [04:03] lotuspsychje: didn't know you had connection with the fbi [04:03] :p [04:03] only in passing ;) [04:04] IzzyD: i normally tell peopleto put nomodeset btween the 'quiet splash' so it becomes 'quiet nomodeset splash' ;) [04:04] any reccomended sound recorder package to record a decent audo interview? [04:04] reisio: hitsujiTMO: so then, at the end it should say splash append nomodeset? [04:04] How to set a firewall? [04:04] or just splash nomodeset? [04:05] !firewall | Guest9774 [04:05] Guest9774: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [04:05] not the word append it should say quiet splash nomodeset [04:05] Guest9774: you got one built in ;) [04:05] lotuspsychje... I like audacity [04:05] ObrienDave: ok tnx for hint [04:06] hitsujiTMO: and also, the end of the line says quiet splash -- do i keep the --? [04:06] !nomodeset | IzzyD [04:06] IzzyD: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:06] IzzyD: put nomodeset btween the quiet and splash.. makes it rather easy to understand... [04:06] IzzyD: keep it if its there. [04:07] quiet nomodeset splash [04:07] lotuspsychje: those instructions are actually really out of date [04:07] hitsujiTMO: ive tryed updating triggers in the past, never had any reaction on it [04:07] ok, brb again. hopefully not on windows. [04:08] OH!!!!! [04:08] secure boot on or off? [04:08] hitsujiTMO: there's a system to make a suggestion for outdated triggers, never had any luck... [04:08] IzzyD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#SecureBoot [04:08] Thanks [04:08] IzzyD: secure boot off, you wont be able to boot the usb with it on.... btw xchat is the default irc app in the live cd [04:09] lotuspsychje: i'll have to have a look at that. is there a complete list of triggers somewhere? !help doesnt seem to help [04:09] hitsujiTMO: yes, holdon [04:10] hitsujiTMO: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [04:10] lotuspsychje: sweet [04:10] hitsujiTMO: not sure whats the command to suggest anymore...

[04:11] hitsujiTMO: i think you had to msg ubottu...foo something [04:12] ObrienDave: nice1 tnx [04:12] lotuspsychje: /msg ubottu Hello sweetheart.....

[04:14] [Relic]: Opensauce :p [04:14] Guest9774: it'd be involved [04:14] Guest9774: i would be impressed if it was doable [04:14] so would I [04:14] truecrypt is almost a reasonable choice if you need to have an encrypted FS that you can use from random different OSes [04:14] and not really otherwise [04:14] hitsujiTMO: ok.. Do you know what should I add? [04:14] Crazyzurfer: try adding "extension=mcrypt.so" to php.ini === [1]chris111 is now known as chris111 [04:16] Question: I now have Ubuntu installed on my laptop, but I have a few problems: Some of my programs need Right Alt but when pressing Alt it takes me to "Type Your Command" [04:16] Guest9774: if the iso could Read your password it might be able to do so otherwhise you are out of luck [04:16] That exact line is but in /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini [04:17] since an iso is not able to think for itself the answer is NO [04:17] ctcb: as in "alt gr" brings up "type your command"? [04:18] why would anyone need to encrypt a free and open source ISO file? [04:18] hitsujiTMO: QnQ [04:18] ObrienDave: for secure boot? [04:18] IzzyD: not working? [04:18] hitsujiTMO, both Alt buttons on my keyboard are doing it. DOSBox tells me to press Alt-GR + Enter to go Fullscreen, but it can't because Type your Command appears when I do that. [04:18] LOL not quite the same thing ;) [04:18] hitsujiTMO: nuuu [04:19] ObrienDave: same reason you'd encrypt anything [04:19] hitsujiTMO: still boots to a solid black screen and stops there. :L [04:19] ctcb: odd, alt gr should not what version of ubuntu? [04:19] ubuntu 12.04... not getting sound with hulu or youtube, I I do get sound with amarok... earlier today the system insisted I had taken out internal hardware (which I have not) and asked if I wanted to remove... not alsa, but the other one .... can't think of the name right now... so I said yes. How do I get it back? [04:19] apb: pulse [04:19] ummm, there is nothing on the ISO that needs to be hidden. is there? [04:19] IzzyD: you booting from dvd or usb? [04:19] hitsujiTMO: Now it works, copied the file I told you and pasted it in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/ [04:19] !yay [04:19] reiso: yeah, that's that's it [04:19] Glad you made it! :-) [04:19] ObrienDave: why would he ask otherwise [04:19] Paulus68_1 thanks for d info [04:19] hitsujiTMO: Ubuntu 13.10 - AMD64 [04:19] hitsujiTMO: usb [04:20] reisio: Yeah, that's it [04:20] pulse [04:20] Crazyzurfer: \o/ [04:20] reisio: some people like to protect their data against god knows who [04:20] instead of encrypt, why not read only? [04:20] rot13 the iso [04:20] Paulus68_1: think you meant ObrienDave [04:20] ctcb: may be your keyboard sending same signal for alt + alt gr :( [04:21] LMAO there is NOTHING on the live DVD that needs to be encrypted [04:21] you are easily amused :p [04:21] yes, me too [04:22] oh, you meant me PFFFFFT [04:22] reisio: no I was refering to you :) [04:22] IzzyD: how exactly did you make it? [04:22] *ducks* [04:22] Paulus68_1: I like to protect my data? [04:22] hitsujiTMO: i made the usb using universal usb installer [04:23] hitsujiTMO: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [04:23] IzzyD: a few peeps have had trouble with ones made with that ... try http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [04:23] IzzyD: also, what graphics card do you have? [04:23] hitsujiTMO, I also have a problem with my keyboard where it has switched the " and @ keys around, how do I fix this? [04:23] so if I test my hardware sound device... it works... but I get no sound from hulu.com or youtube... hmmm... flash maybe? [04:24] apb: sounds like a flash sound issue to me. [04:24] Dr_Willis: it was working just fine earlier... reinstall?? [04:24] OK, if you're using the ISO to install a system, exactly what data that is sensitive to you, is actually on the disk? let me guess, NONE [04:25] When I install ubuntu I just select lbuntu minimal. Now I just get a blank desktop at longin... Nothing at all on it. Ideas? [04:25] apb: reinstall = windows mindset. [04:25] ctcb: change the keyboard layout your on us and want uk? change it in System Settings -> Text Entry [04:25] reisio: I was refering to this remark same reason you'd encrypt anything [04:25] apb: if you reinstall the exact same setup. id expect ehe exact same results. [04:25] apb: tried google-chrome yet? it has its own flash built in [04:25] Paulus68_1: ah, it all makes sense now :) [04:25] Dr_Willis: can't install chrome... it just won't go. went round and round on that [04:26] cidr, what installation disk is that for(what version) [04:26] Mini [04:26] 13.10 [04:26] Dr_Willis: I had to use chrome to use quite a few streaming sites. Including pac-12 network and esp3. The version of flash for linux is too outdated to work with them, but chromes worked fine. Just an FYI [04:27] reisio: it's still early on my side of the globe :p [04:27] hitsujiTMO: radeon hd 7310 [04:27] hitsujiTMO, I see something about changing sources, but not the current keyboard layout. [04:28] Dr_Willis: So what does the non-windows mindset do in the case like this? [04:28] s/the/a [04:28] drop back 5 yards and punt ;) [04:28] no doubt [04:28] apb: What's your issue? [04:28] IzzyD: graphics card should be ok, shoulbe be supported by default radeondriver at least .... try create a new installer with that linuxliveusb tool anyhow ... you may still have to boot with nomodeset [04:28] apb: blame adobe for lacking proper linux support.. personally i use google-chrome. no idea on your issues with it [04:28] IzzyD: try without first tho [04:29] CIDR: no sound from hulu.com or youtube.com [04:29] apb: i also use flash downloader extensions to download youtube videos [04:29] hitsujiTMO: ok, creating it now. [04:29] apb: you on ubuntu 32bit? [04:29] hitsujiTMO: Yes [04:29] Have you tried html5 videos? [04:29] 12.04 [04:29] apb: there may be some askubuntu.com hits on flash sound issues also. [04:29] this was working earlier today [04:30] CIDR: I doubt it. I simply tried hulu.com and youtube.com ... however amarok works. [04:30] apb, there was a bug in the .deb file ... there was an update for 64 bit today but so might be an updated .deb for 32bit too. if not install chrome beta.deb that doesnt have the bug [04:30] hitsujiTMO: I downloaded chrome stable... didn't work for me... where do I get the beta? [04:31] apb when did you download stable tho? today? [04:31] hitsujiTMO: Persistance: Live mode? [04:31] hitsujiTMO, Now I've changed the layout, Alt Gr no longer triggers it. [04:31] hitsujiTMO: few days ago maybe? [04:31] izzdy: just leave it at default [04:32] apb: i think it was updated today so try again ... [04:32] apb: if not i'll get you the link for the beta [04:32] ctcb: sweet! [04:33] hrmmm bit the bullet and did a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop wonder how long that'll take [04:33] how can i make transmission the default torrent client again? after i have choosen qbittorrent? [04:33] hitsujiTMO: installs! thanks! I'll go try the sound issue [04:35] apb: np ... good luck with the sound issue [04:35] thinknow... right click on a .torrent select 'open with' select Transmission with 'make default' checked [04:36] i know about that ObrienDave [04:36] but it wont show [04:36] it just show qbit [04:36] i had that problem on more than one installation [04:37] other programs dont use to be a problem [04:37] no clue on that one, sorry [04:37] Couldn't find a good guide for xbmc+ubuntu+intel that wasn't over 1.5 years old and had broken paste bins [04:37] just going to install xbmc over ubuntu-desktop and see what happens [04:38] !info xbmc [04:38] xbmc (source: xbmc): XBMC Media Center (arch-independent data package).

[04:38] hmm ... time for sleep [04:38] i mean, how can i make transmission the default application when i magnet a torrent? [04:38] I always have to fight with DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD etc.. [04:40] thinknow: you can open 'url' after you copy the magnet link [04:40] that fixed it. Thanks folks! [04:40] i know [04:40] taking forever to create live usb... that's how you know it's working ^^ [04:40] but automatically? [04:40] so i dont have to do that everytime [04:40] thinknow: in firefox you can set filetypes to programs aswell [04:41] because now every time i press the magnet button(that is the only one on piratebay) it opens qbittorrent. And if uninstall it, it cant find any application [04:42] thinknow: talking about a browser? [04:42] thinknow: check askubuntu.com yet? i seem to recall seeing this asked there also. [04:42] ok know i found where i can do it in firefox setings [04:42] thinknow: browse to transmission-gtk [04:43] where is it located? [04:43] thinknow: use the 'locate' command to find out [04:43] it isnt in the scrolldown menu [04:43] should ubuntu-desktop install the right intel drivers? [04:43] find ~/.mozilla -iname 'mimetypes.rdf' [04:43] mv that elsewhere [04:43] restart browser [04:43] locate and then.. [04:43] i cant locate transmission, dont know which folders to look [04:44] 'locate transmission' [04:44] or 'which command-you-want-to-find' [04:44] or which transmission-gtk [04:44] if you don't have locate try whereis [04:44] or dpkg -L transmission-gtk | grep bin [04:44] but /usr/bin/ is the usual place [04:45] wtf I install ubuntu-desktop but still boots to lbuntu and nothign on the desktop [04:45] ideas?

[04:46] Thanks folks [04:46] usr/bin/transmission-gtk [04:46] :) [04:47] CIDR: then you dident install it right.. or are not looking in the right place. or need to restart lightdm [04:47] I restarted lightdm [04:47] I just have an otpion of a user drop down and a password [04:47] CIDR: look for the other menus that exist.. a gear icon perhaps [04:47] uggh... internet speed on military bases in okinawa...

[05:07] CallingFlunky3: if the pc can boot the hd. should be able to [05:07] windows based guts = what do you mean. :) if its nomrmal pc parts.. its not windows based [05:08] i boot my EEEpc from external usb/flash/usbhd/sdcard all the time and run ubuntu from them [05:08] Well it was win 7, and I'm running on very little sleep lol [05:08] guys is there any way I can dupe my partition because I would like to have a second one to mess around with and try out xfce [05:09] The old drive crashed and I used ubuntu before [05:09] but also have all my stuff [05:09] niel: you can install xubuntu desktop on top of your u untu install and just select xubuntu at the login screen [05:09] I totally forgot about that [05:09] that would dupe ubuntu it will never know [05:10] reisio: i hate life >> [05:10] Had a problem booting up on first try so I'm trying to figure out what if anything I missed [05:10] I could just make another parition and copy the files onto it [05:10] but that might be sketchy [05:10] IzzyD: :) [05:10] reisio: it's still not working... [05:11] CallingFlunky3, You do a manual install and make sure grub is in the externals mbr? [05:11] reisio: and it's the same problem. [05:11] yo [05:11] also is there a way to mess around with my grub and rename/move things [05:11] my OCD does not like 2 Ubuntus [05:11] I also have xubuntu [05:11] :'D [05:12] Not manual, windows exe based install. [05:12] CallingFlunky3, wubi? [05:12] niel, have a look into /etc/default/grub .. after changes you need to run sudo update-grub2 [05:12] Any idea why I can't select "automatic login" ? [05:12] wubi??? meaning? [05:13] CallingFlunky3, what is a windows exe based install? [05:13] IzzyD: I'd try http://www.sysresccd.org/ with its no kms option, just to make sure it isn't another problem [05:13] wilee-nilee, wubi [05:13] yes it is [05:13] I used the windows installer... I couldn't remember how to do manual instal :/ [05:13] hi good evening, someone could say that when compiling a kernel hello world for me will not let me compile error generates a number who could colaborarme [05:14] reisio: this is honestly upsetting me... i can't live without ubuntu... [05:14] I've done it before but I lost all my notes [05:14] CallingFlunky3, its called wubi, and not a really to be used that way, I'm not surprised it wont boot. [05:14] andry, sadly all my boot options are not there [05:14] IzzyD: I hear you [05:15] :/ crap lol [05:15] then the names are in /etc/grub.d, but i cannot remember which file [05:15] Alright I'll see if I can search around some more. [05:15] Thanks guys [05:15] not that either [05:15] CallingFlunky3, wubi is a file in windows normally, putting it in the external at the least makes it read slower, and who knows what else. [05:15] id reccomend just running ubuntu in vbox.. instead of using wubi... [05:15] Oh goody [05:16] /boot/grub/grub.cfg then [05:16] lol I found the grub code [05:16] wubi is best avoided like a err... case of ... err.. some icky disease. [05:16] How about just making the drive use ubuntu? [05:16] you will not have to run update-grub after you edit the grub.cfg [05:16] else it overrides it [05:16] It doesn't have a OS anymore [05:16] CallingFlunky3: then no Wubi for you it seems [05:16] andry, # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE [05:17] I dont think I should [05:17] yes [05:17] you "can" if you know what you do :D [05:17] I will break shit [05:17] reisio: oh yay... 2 hours... [05:17] its my middle name [05:17] * niel backs up silently [05:18] IzzyD: ? [05:18] Alright, so what OS or .iso? and should I put the hdd on the pc I'm going to use it with to do the install? [05:18] reisio: the download time for the iso [05:18] IzzyD: 2 hours... :/ [05:18] oh right you're in a terrible bandwidth land [05:18] reisio: nvm... 4 >> [05:18] if you edit the grub.cfg - it will get overwritten next time you run update-grub [05:18] that's insane [05:18] CallingFlunky3, To install to the external you would boot a live dvd/usb and do a manual install to it, a flash drive if large enough would be better. [05:19] isn't there a web interface for searching apt packages [05:19] reisio: yea, military internet :P [05:19] :L [05:19] yes, i told him, but i guess you can add some 40-custom stuff and modify the names too [05:19] there should be a package called llvm3.3 somewhere. [05:19] i never did this with grub2 [05:19] how do I locate packages that aren't in apt? [05:19] IzzyD: maybe you should try, um [05:19] andry, I would so break shit lol [05:19] Okay I'm working on that usb drive now as wee "speak" [05:20] niel: Please keep the language clean [05:20] IzzyD: there are installers you can run directly from Windows [05:20] or, niel, https://launchpad.net/grub-customizer [05:20] IdleOne, sorry :P [05:20] reisio: it's a windows 8 pre install system.

[05:25] reisio: oh and wubi doesn't work [05:25] reisio: sourceforge [05:25] empathy uses libpurple? i can use pidgin plugins for it?

[05:28] reisio: back to just 2 hours ^^ [05:28] I installed from terminal [05:28] using sudo [05:28] it asked for password [05:28] socialcoder: actually it might be newserver, not server [05:29] socialcoder, xchat->server menu [05:29] IzzyD: see if that one does better [05:29] andry, it asked for my pass and I just opened it everything is the same as when I changed it [05:29] socialcoder, sorry, xchat->network list [05:29] honestly, I am not seeing it [05:29] there is no menu on top at all [05:30] /newserver irc.codetalk.io [05:30] socialcoder: type /server irc.codetalk.io in this window [05:31] grr synaptic does not set itself up in the dash :-( === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [05:31] using ubuntu 12.04 settingup a apache with ssl and facing error , error.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6298975/ [05:31] andry, does not seem to work sadly [05:32] reisio: that is with the new one >> [05:32] niel maybe have a look here u [05:32] http://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/grub2-revisited/ [05:32] IzzyD: hrmm?

So, from the usb drive install ubuntu to the hdd and boot... should work yes? [05:32] moppy, doesnt it come as module? [05:33] reisio: the 2 hours is with the server you sent me.

[05:34] yes, all kernels should have modules available to utilize proprietary protocols most people don't need [05:34] hehe well .. it is a nice-to-have running uefi boards [05:35] oh hang on, they seem to have added signed module support in 3.7 [05:35] andry: what, cifs? [05:36] no, signed kernels for secure boot [05:36] not really proprietary protocol [05:36] you can sign with your own key [05:37] ...was talking about cifs [05:37] hm okay, never read THAT much about it [05:37] i dont have uefi [05:37] on this laptop [05:37] lucky you [05:39] ooh yea, libpurple (pidgin) plugins appear to work in empathy === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [05:40] cool :) === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [05:41] Hi everyone.

[06:51] babinlonston: you want a debian source into your ubuntu? [06:51] PillowTalk: I think so. Honestly, the difference in cache size between the two drives is small [06:51] sgo11: sure it gdm? ubuntu uses lightdm as default [06:51] PillowTalk: Besides, the filesystem has its own cache and flushes stuff out to disk in bulk afaik [06:52] k1l_, it's gdm. I installed ubuntu-gnome 13.10. [06:52] <`Fibz`> babinlonston, try running that generate_repo.sh command [06:52] Thank you very much cestus i will use taht drive to install ubuntu [06:52] np - have fun! [06:52] I found out I have inferior graphics for Linux. My graphics card is an AMD Radeon 7640G. Is there a way to install the Windows driver for it? [06:53] Thanks so much. I have install it and it has worked well [06:54] hillary, your welcome! [06:55] k1l_: yes [06:55] ok [06:56] robertzaccour: no... [06:57] Ben64: How are you sure? I thought Windows drivers could be installed. [06:57] Hi guys, can you advice me a MySQL GUI client ? Like Navicat MySQL, but maybe there's free one ? [06:58] robertzaccour: Can't use Windows drivers directly, but AMD does have the Catalyst drivers for Linux. Latest is 13.9 I think [06:58] XATRIX, phpmyadmin ? [06:58] No no no.. It's a server-side [06:58] I need some GUI to connect to my server from my laptop [06:58] Cestus: Would it work with my gpu? [06:58] robertzaccour: Cestus no, dont download it from the amd site. use the driver that ubuntu ships for you first [06:59] !fglrx | robertzaccour [06:59] robertzaccour: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [06:59] robertzaccour: Ah, I see, it's an APU. A8 I'm guessing... [06:59] k1l_: I booted Kubuntu live session earlier and some of the effects didn't work, which tells me it has inferior default drivers. [07:01] Cestus: So I should be able to install it just fine? [07:01] how do I find out what my access level is in ubuntu? [07:02] robertzaccour: This page has some more info: http://askubuntu.com/questions/207733/why-does-my-laptop-with-amd-radeon-hd-76xx-graphics-get-overheated-when-using-ub [07:03] robertzaccour: Here is the driver straight from AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64 [07:03] I have an A10 in my desktop, and I used the driver from AMD without issue. I couldn't get the version from ubuntu (the "use proprietary drivers" thing) to work right [07:07] Cestus: thanks. Is this the one here? http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/737-28041SupportforATIMobility.aspx === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [07:08] Cestus: I didn't see mine in the search list, so I selected other then Linux 64 bit [07:09] robertzaccour: Weird, that's the links for Windows drivers. stupid AMD web site, lol [07:09] Cestus: Yeah, the search criteria had 7xxxm but not 7xxxg [07:10] robertzaccour: I'm pretty sure the 7640G is a built-in chip that's part of the AMD A8 processor. They call it an "APU" [07:10] brontosaurusrex: http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4279604 [07:11] XATRIX, my cirilica is pretty crappy and my rusian non-existant, whats the point? [07:11] robertzaccour: From here you can pick the "APU" category, then desktop (or mobile), then A-series, then Linux_x86_64 [07:12] robertzaccour: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download [07:12] brontosaurusrex: You don't have to :) I found a good GUI for MySQL, and it's free [07:13] XATRIX, cool [07:13] sure ;) [07:13] Is it just me.. or is networkmanager the most fragile service in linux? [07:14] You so much as touch anything.. and it stops working [07:14] btw, it is possible to use phpmyadmin to connect to remote databases as well apparently, never tested that thought [07:14] digitalw00t: Workaround is to just not touch anything. :P [07:14] Cestus: Got it thanks. Only issue now is I click the link and it just reloads the page. [07:14] Cestus: I'll try when I boot into Kubuntu live session after work. [07:14] Cestus: hehe.. yeah. Not really an option. [07:15] robertzaccour: Cool, good luck! [07:15] Cestus: Trying to update my linux skills. Never used it as a desktop before, always a server. [07:15] thanks Cestus [07:15] Cestus: And as such, I normally turn off the networkmanager and configure everything myself. [07:16] digitalw00t: I'm by no means an expert. Especially networking. DHCP runs, I get my IP from my router, and I'm happy. lol === karlo|afk is now known as karlo [07:17] digitalw00t: I've done network configuration on Arch, but so far I've been lucky on Ubuntu. Most everything just works (TM) [07:18] Cestus: Yeah.. I'm an rpm based guy myself most of the time, but mint/ubuntu/angstrom are forcing me out of my "comfort zone" [07:20] digitalw00t: The world's move to mobile consumption-only devices is getting me out of my comfort zone. I'm clinging to my desktop forever. :) [07:20] digitalw00t: if you configure the network in the interfaces the networkmanager stops managing that device [07:22] another quick question, is there any easy way to compile a MSVS c++ project for linux? [07:22] Cestus, As the spiritual sages say "you can't take it with you". [07:23] wilee-nilee: hehe yeah. Gonna have to switch to wireless in the underworld. :P [07:24] ;) [07:24] chris111: Depends - does the project use Windows-specific libraries? Win32 / MFC / WinRT / etc. [07:26] chris111: Oh - unless you mean writing a Linux app using MSVS on Windows...

[07:39] thanks `Fibz` & Dr_Willis [07:40] i rarely have dual monitor issues with my nvidia based desktop [07:41] no issues for me on nvidia or intel, too [07:41] <`Fibz`> im just one of the lucky ones i guess [07:41] intel i7, on a lenovo thinkpad (T530) [07:41] i had issues with my sound card [07:42] no 3D / texture support (or something like that) [07:42] external mini-displayport not working [07:42] no 3d on the soune card? ;) [07:42] hahah [07:42] no i mean with the GPU [07:42] the sound card was a problem apart from that [07:43] theres a thinkpad forum i belive on the ubuntu forums. Ive never owned a thinkpad. [07:43] (no sound, unless i plug in headphones, then there's sound.. from the laptop.... [07:43] I tend to stick to cheap netbooks [07:43] they are great machines, really [07:43] they even bring m pre-installed with ubuntu :) [07:43] hard for me to justify more then $300 for a new laptop these days - all i do is IRC and watch videos on them [07:43] 8GB Ram, i run ~7 virtual machines with ease [07:43] and even that - i do on my tablet more and more. [07:44] yeah then you wont need a beast of a machine [07:44] i'm a developer of highend webapplications [07:44] i need a beast [07:44] lol [07:44] i would like a netbook with a higher res screen. some apps just dont like the low res display [07:44] MrQuist: get yourself the biggest instance on AWS [07:45] EC2 [07:45] I had a beast of a Laptop weighed like 18 lbs with the charger.. ;) 19 in dispplay. 2 hd's .. sold it to my brother. I couldent stand to carry it back an dforth [07:48] Dr_Willis, same here.. sold it and got a lightweight alternative with a 15" screen.. I just couldn't stand the weight and comments like "oh, here comes the mobile cinema" [07:49] we host ourselves MindSpark [07:49] Hiya. When editing my ~/.bashrc, what's the difference between doing "PS1='foo'" and "export PS1='foo'"? [07:49] but i mean to develop you need quite some development VM's to be running [07:49] I believe "export" doesn't get saves, bittyx-work [07:49] MrQuist: to develop? or to deploy? [07:49] develop ofcourse [07:49] you don't develop in modules? [07:49] we have dedicated machines to deploy [07:50] I mean how big can a module be? [07:50] unless you're doing lots of compilation work of course [07:50] what do you mean with "module" ? [07:50] Well, if you're basically working on a module by module basis. You would only need to do unit testing in a way [07:50] or unit development per se [07:51] you wouldn't need a system that would run the entire platform [07:51] Can I remove pulseaudio and just use alsa? [07:51] no not everything [07:51] MrQuist: Not sure I understand what you mean? If I do "export", it gets saved automatically? Ie. I don't really need to put it in .bashrc then? [07:51] but then again, are you developing using huge db's for example? Because this is not the approach I take [07:52] MindSpark, we have an API, a frontend, a small developement DB, a dedicated machine with a development database, 4 dedicated machines for testing, QA, [07:53] CIDR: anytime ive seen someone try to remove pulse audio to 'fix' things they seem to come back a day later after doing a clean install. ;) so i dont advise it [07:54] you see, for the frontend you just need bandwidth. Now for the API, depending on how complex it is and what algorithms and mechanisms it implements, you may need a bigger machine. But still, for development, you're never really utitlising the entire system at once like in a live one, are you? [07:54] Dr_Willis: heh [07:54] I can't bitstream with it... [07:54] only allows 2 channel audio voer hdmi [07:55] not even sure what bitstream means. :) but my tv is stero only. So cant really advise. [07:55] you can set specific video players to use alsa and not pulse. [07:56] vlc audio settings -> output module -> select alsa [07:56] then close/restart vlc [07:56] Dr_Willis, yes, we do [07:57] but indeed, when you boot up the development environment, the first few calls to frontend still take about 5 seconds [07:58] Doesn't work for xbmc [07:58] I'm updating to xubuntu 13.10, but ppa-purge didn't remove my ppa-provided nvidia driver [07:58] will I have problems? [07:58] bittyx-work, what i mean is that i _believe_ "export" temporarily writes to the memory - the setting is gone once you reboot / log in again [07:58] when editing the file its saved on disk, so remembered [07:58] if I do what can I do to prevent them? [08:01] as far as I know Pulseaudio runs over alsa [08:01] it does [08:01] so it should be possible to skip PA and just use Alsa, but you'd probably miss out on some features [08:02] is OSS still used in anyway? [08:02] it's been some time since I used Linux as a PC [08:02] I have no way to force xbmc to use alsa [08:02] lame [08:02] CIDR: check out jackaudio [08:03] CIDR: you shouldn't need to "force" it anyway, should run by default IMO [08:03] OSS isn't really used these days [08:03] debian uses alsa, fedora/ubuntu/mint use pulseaudio [08:05] Issues is if I uninstall pulse audio works great in xbmc [08:06] passthrough works, bitstreaming works etc... [08:06] but then I have no audio at all in ubuntu like flash videos etc... Is there a way to get ubuntu to work with only alsa? [08:10] CIDR: did you run alsamixer? [08:10] you might need to configure xorg or X11 or whatever it is called these days [08:11] MindSpark: alsamixer doesn't have anything muted [08:11] Not sure how I tell X to use alsa? [08:11] CIDR: which version are you on? [08:11] saucy [08:12] CIDR: did you read the last paragraph on here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [08:13] MindSpark: problem is it needs diredct hardware access so that doesn't work [08:13] what needs direct hardware access? [08:13] xbmc [08:15] when i do do-release-upgrade it crashes after a while: https://gist.github.com/andriijas/7143853 any ideas? [08:18] If I remove pulse I have no audio devices in ubuntu [08:18] This is so obnoxious [08:18] does anyone know what I need to play .mp4 in VLC. it says i'm missing a plugin. [08:18] in clementine I mean [08:18] vlc works [08:19] gstreamer is missing a plugin i get === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [08:30] ronin, did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:31] Well wtf. Can't figure out how to get normal stuff in ubuntu to work with alsa now [08:32] CIDR, you have to specify default output device in audio settings [08:32] I can't, when I remove pulse there are 0 audio devices in audio settings... they're in xbmc, and work fine, but not in options [08:32] Only way this worked before was using lubuntu because it doesn't use pulse... [08:33] no, argh I misclicked and refused to eula [08:33] not even --purge remove + install asks it again [08:34] hahaha [08:34] unlucky [08:35] CIDR: how did you uninstall pulseaudio [08:35] I attempted to just disable it from loading [08:35] I also did an apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio [08:36] yep, that breaks audio [08:36] hey guys, i have dell vostro laptop and it has inbuilt finger print scanner. i am trying to set it up for login etc. can anyone help me with this please? [08:36] Hang on [08:36] I also installed alsamixer, etc... [08:36] doesn't matter, you broke it [08:36] I've also tried disabling pulseaudio but the results were the same [08:37] CIDR, silly question but, have you rebooted after all the remove/install mess? [08:37] Yes [08:37] over and over [08:37] hehe [08:37] i don't know where everybody sees something to purge pulseaudio, but that breaks audio about 100% of the time [08:38] I'm over it now. Gave up, install lubuntu which doesn't use pulse [08:38] CIDR, if it is a default package you removed chances are you can get it all again by apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or some general task package like that one [08:38] I have no desire to get it again. [08:38] It jacks up my audio passthrough [08:38] ezra-s: from what i remember, that doesn't fix the purging [08:38] best thing is to try to understand what happened [08:39] its much easier to remove pulseaudio by doing "sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio" [08:39] What happens is pulse doesn't work with hd passthrough [08:39] its what i did, everything works fine for me with alsa [08:39] Ben64, packages should bring their own configuration files, that's like saying installing anew would not fix it [08:39] That was what I did first... [08:39] I've done about 30 things. [08:39] apt-get remove pulseaudio, then reboot [08:39] nothing in ubuntu worked, but xbmc worked fine with the proper audio device selected [08:39] CIDR, you don't use pulse for passthrough and use alsa directly from xbmc [08:40] I'd love to, but I can't... [08:40] CIDR it is apt-get purge pulseaudio to remove cfg files [08:40] if pulse is installed XBMC no longer has the proper passthrough device. [08:40] CIDR, xbmc sometimes require you to specify the device in a very manual way for passthrough, I suffered through it too [08:41] I can find no manual way... [08:41] Other than in settings,system,audio, audio output asks for an passthrough device. [08:41] The selections go away when pulse is installed [08:41] for instance [08:41] I had to manually set it like "iec958:CARD=SB,DEV=0" [08:41] otherwise it would not work [08:41] back in the day they allowed you to do that [08:42] in 11.x [08:42] in 12.x that option no longer even exsists [08:42] CIDR, ohh [08:42] CIDR, and by hand in the config file? http://apaste.info/hgdi [08:43] It's no longer the same... [08:43] I wish it was. [08:43] CIDR there must be a way to tell xbmc to use ALSA [08:43] I don't have my xbmc here [08:43] so I can't check [08:44] Hello! It seems Ubuntu on one of my servers updated itself last night. I didnt know it has some automatic updates. How do I find out if and why it updated? [08:44] There is, remove pulse audio... [08:44] CIDR, no, I mean manually [08:44] I know what you mean, but I can't find the settings anywhere [08:44] it makes not much sense that you can't choose what you use for sound output [08:44] just countless threads of people having the same issues as me [08:45] agreed, but it seems to be an issue with the new audio engine that's in 12.x [08:45] CIDR, do you use that box mainly as xbmc player? [08:45] 60-70% of the timem. [08:45] But I also stream pac-12 games etc... via chrome. [08:45] CIDR, you could use xbmcbuntu :P [08:45] it is based in 12.04 If I recall correctly [08:46] ideal for steam, and all works out of the box [08:46] even in hybrid mobo pcs like zotac (my case) I didn't even have to worry about overscan and things like that [08:46] hrmmm [08:50] can i update wubi installed 12.04 to 13.10? [08:51] The gzip command run like this gzip -r only zips the files inside the folder. but i want the folder zipped with everything in it. [08:53] boviba: wubi is basically a dead project. I would get away from it as soon as possible [08:54] Zorky: tar -cvf filename.tar.gz directory_to_compress [08:55] what is JabberServer used for ? [08:55] zexcriz: chatting [08:56] ActionParsnip: Thanks :) [09:04] i just use my raspberry pi for a xmbc box CIDR ;) but im cheap. === kling is now known as Guest80259 === Guest80259 is now known as furoido [09:05] Yeah. [09:05] I have a decent box for it. [09:05] Dr_Willis, good choice [09:05] Since I like the high quality audio/video. [09:06] * Dr_Willis has high quality gilligans island videos.. [09:06] ;P [09:06] Heh [09:06] https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/61760_10151504067554414_1360911688_n.jpg [09:07] was it hard to assemble/solder the raspberry pi? [09:07] I like my DTS-HD/1080p etc... [09:07] ActionParsnip, ok [09:07] jack: no soldering needed. [09:07] cool [09:07] jack: theres addon board kits you can buy you assemble. but dont use those [09:08] Although the raspi stuff has came a long way. you can do 1080p h.264 [09:08] and it's like 35 bucks, so it's really hard to beat [09:08] indeed [09:08] Plex server on your ubuntu box. and plex-pi on the pi = Instant streaming client on your tv. ;) [09:09] but i got the plex channel on my smart-tv's ;) so i use the pi to run xbmc to stream to them [09:09] I can get 'I Dream of Jeannie' on every tv in the house. [09:09] How do I launch abiword on the gfahpical shell (Ctrl+Alt+F7) while I'm being on a virtual console? I get error message "Could not open X display" [09:10] l01: export your DISPLAY variable first [09:10] export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 [09:10] would be a common value [09:11] CIDR: android usb stciks, does a bit more for not much more green :) [09:12] Dr_Willis: Tried it, doesn't open abiword, I get the same message [09:12] I got an android desktop thing that does android or its own xbmc disrto. but the thing runs a lot hott-er then my pie [09:12] CIDR: plus Netflix ability :) === Quest is now known as Guest70232 [09:12] l01: on the X display see what the echo $DISPLAY says [09:12] Hello. Somebody can read me, please? [09:13] juan__: wassup? [09:13] ActionParsnip: Ive had some that dont want to run netflix android app sadly. :0 but they did do Crunchyroll.com fine. ;) [09:13] OK [09:13] Thanks ActionParsnip [09:13] xbmc and plex client for android also make them flexiable devices. [09:13] How to manually switch the ubuntu theme? [09:13] Dr_Willis: exactly :) [09:14] It says ":1.0" (without quotes) so I did on virtual console: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:1.0 and started abiword, still does not work, get the same message [09:14] sujx: of the whole desktop you mean? [09:14] or how to manually run ubuntu theme [09:14] en whole desktop [09:14] ActionParsnip: ive also seen a lot of weirdness with those android-box's ;) some apps really get confused by them. [09:14] l01: why 127.0.0.1 [09:14] I have a problem with update sistem in Ubuntu 12.04 and ASUS Eee X101CH. I can't update because the system don't find the medibuntu package [09:14] sujx: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue and which desktop are you using? [09:14] l01, try :1.0 [09:15] juan__: medibuntu is gone [09:15] OK [09:15] yeah without 127.0.0.1 it worked [09:15] And the solution? [09:15] juan__: disable medibuntu. its dead jim [09:15] ive not seen a need for medibuntu in ages [09:15] thanks very much Dr_Willis and Ben64 and jack =D [09:15] l01: thats odd.. since 127.0.0.1 is your local ip. [09:15] juan__: remove the repo, you can use software centre, or delete the medibuntu file/s in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [09:15] np,you're welcome [09:16] One moment. I am looking for software centre [09:16] ubuntu 12.04 [09:17] lightdm [09:17] sujx: no...gnome? XFCE? KDE? LXDE? [09:18] sounds very light [09:18] gnome [09:19] I cant to delete medibuntu.list [09:19] Why? [09:19] Hello, if i create a user called asdf, how can i autogenerate a password and send it by mail? Or what is the normal procedure to create users? [09:19] why lightdm sujx ? [09:19] try metacity [09:21] I am not very expert in delete files from some places in Ubuntu. I wish to delete medibuntu.list in etc/apt/sources.list.d Can you help me, please? [09:21] My software, started before the login screen in ubuntu, if I do not manually open the Themes service, software interface will become very ugly [09:21] juan__: don't just delete it manually, purge the ppa [09:22] !ppa-purge | juan__ [09:22] juan__: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [09:22] I dont know how to purge [09:22] how do i tar a folder without retaining the dir setup. i want to tar a folder in /users/username/desktop but when i do tar -zcvf folder.tar.gz /user/username/desktop/foldername i get this in the tar.gz file. /user/username/desktop/foldername. how do i ONLY tar the folder foldername [09:22] read that [09:23] jack: lightdm is a login manager.. metacity is a window manager. [09:23] sujx: you need to start up the gnome services for the apps to get the right theme settings [09:24] I was reading http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html, but I dont know the complete name of medibuntu [09:25] PPA [09:25] look in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ files [09:25] it shoul dhave a file in there for it [09:25] Dr_Willis, oops? i could have sworn lightdm is a wm too [09:26] jack: *dm = display managers.. your Login Managers. xdm, kdm, gdm, lightdm, and others. [09:26] ok [09:26] Thanks guys. I dont solve my problem. See you. [09:26] lightdm is the default login manager in Ubuntu, and I thought you confused lightdm with unity, the default DE of ubuntu [09:26] flvwm, jwm, olvwm = window managers. ;) then the new ones dont use the wm in the names. [09:27] i want start up my apps before gnome services.so i need to manually open the themes service [09:27] Zorky: tar -C /user/username/desktop -zcvf folder.tar.gz foldername [09:27] sujx: why do you want to start them up befor that? [09:28] excuse me [09:28] hello everyone, is there a free alternative to non-ö IM clients? [09:28] sorry :) non-free IM clients* [09:29] I mean one which connects to webcam [09:29] junir: such as ? [09:29] junir: what about empathy and pidgin? [09:29] junir: which non-free clients do you wish to replace with web-cam enabled open-source versions [09:29] Hey everyone [09:30] k1l_ can I connect to webcam with empathy? [09:30] junir: and are you talking about clients or protocols? [09:30] ikonia, skype, for example [09:30] junir: "no" is the answer to that specific client === dean|away is now known as dean [09:30] i have ubuntu 12.04 on and I stupidly installed false graphic driver on my os, and it nuked the unity desktop.how to revert it? [09:30] my desktop always blink and the panel goes to bottom [09:30] I have just updated to 13.10 and have a black background that im unable to change. Does anyone know how to fix this? [09:30] junir: the question is if the non-free protocol allowes other clients. which is "no" for skype [09:30] k1l_ I mean a free one which I can chat and see the person at the same time [09:31] ikonia, k1l_ I'd like to use a free program that can chat with and view the other person [09:31] andybrine: see if the issue affects a newly made user [09:31] junir: you need to be specific [09:31] junir: and you still need a chat protocol for that, too [09:32] Ok, thanks Dr_Willis. Ill try that [09:32] s boss ! it`s not my mean [09:32] sujx: what? [09:32] junir: you could use empathy with the google talk protocol to do video chats === HisaoNakai is now known as MangaKaDenza [09:33] hi i have a usb drive that is no longer mounting of displaying in any way. what is the first thing to do to see if it can be detected at all === zexcriz is now known as Guest36370 [09:33] roland_: sudo blkid, and see if you can mount it by hand [09:33] junir: well, you only need the jabber protocol and the jungle extension [09:34] ikonia, k1l_ I understand. I am asking not for a free client where I can use non-free IM. I mean a software that is just free [09:34] k1l_ I have jabber, but I wasn't sure if I can connect to camera with it. is it possible? [09:34] junir: see the jingle extension, yes [09:35] Hello, if i create a user called asdf, how can i autogenerate a password and send it by mail? Or what is the normal procedure to create users? [09:35] can anacron work, even without cron? [09:35] Dr_Willis: that returns an sda1,sda2 and sda3. both with the drive pluged in and not [09:35] k1l_ oh, great, I'll try right away, thank you very much k1l_ and ikonia! [09:35] diverdude: use `pwgen` [09:35] junir: (i think in ubuntu its already installed by default [09:35] Dr_Willis: so am i all out of luck [09:36] roland_: check dmesg output a few moments after you plug it in also. sonds like it may be dead jim. [09:36] k1l_ I had installed jabber, as a program named psi+ , is it correct that way? [09:36] junir: no you are confusing protocol, server and clients [09:37] k1l_ oh [09:37] junir: you need a client (empathy) a protocol (xmmp/jabber) and then a server (like a jabber server from google etc) [09:38] !jabber | junir [09:38] junir: jabber is a free and open source instant messaging protocol, unlike MSN and AIM. Supporting clients on Linux: Kopete (KDE), Pidgin, Gajim, and Empathy (GNOME), bitlbee (cli/irc). For more info see http://www.jabber.org/ [09:39] k1l_ thank you for your information!

It's only like 2-3x the price [09:54] Wiz_KeeD: again system76 [09:54] what is system76? [09:55] ActionParsnip, would you rather spend 1000$ on a great notebook and go on vacation. Or be fancy when taking your notebook out in starbucks? [09:56] guys does anyone have to suggest me a good movie player for ubuntu? i tried many of them and all they have little lag in HD movies..

[10:40] Depa: no idea, You could make an image of the ubuntu data, reinstall etc, then restore the image [10:40] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks :) [10:40] Depa: or (easier) backup settings and user data then do a full reinstall of both then restore your casual user data [10:41] Depa: its one of the reasons I fully HATE recovery partitions [10:42] Hello. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my USB stick.

[10:43] IwantUbuntu: 2 sticks, a CD and a stick etc [10:43] ActionParsnip: Will a normal CD work?

[10:47] I pinpointed the issue to an a day I updated (thursday) [10:47] I just need help in going through the names and findsing the offending package and possibly reverse or remove it (maybe there is a double older package that interferes) [10:47] cfhowlett: because I hate having 6 harddrives on my computer they all spin noise I with 1 ssd that's 1tb will be totally silent [10:47] Bollebib2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:54] ActionParsnip:yeah it is laptop [10:54] abc: thought to move near the router and use a wired connection to get fully updated? [10:55] abc: laptops do have Ethernet ports you know... [10:56] ActionParsnip:yeah they have ports ther is no cable near to me [10:56] abc: the wireless driver may offer itself to you over the Ethernet [10:57] abc: a cable will make this a lot easier. I'm betting its some cheapo Broadcom thing [10:58] ActionParsnip:but the real problem is i cant get cable iam in huge campany and evryting is in wirless [10:58] abc: i doubt the servers are wireless [10:59] ActionParsnip:yeah [10:59] you can get wifi dongles that work out of the box with ubuntu in the $10 range also. edimax micro dongle. [10:59] ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l [10:59] use them to get teh drivers for the other wifi stuff. but they might even work better then the built in card. [10:59] jhave: are there any bugs reported? [11:00] no its the only info [11:00] How can I change "Region & Language" --> System --> System Settings --> Format ? I can only change user account format, not system format. thanks. [11:01] Patero-ng: use w3m-img [11:01] uh.. I'm assuming here would be a smart place to get help? [11:02] ActionParsnip, a complet output of apt-get upgrade [11:02] http://paste.jdh.dk/16 [11:02] for switching to Ubuntu of course... [11:02] Xander_: yes this is ubuntu support. ;) [11:02] tsimpson: I just found that out thanks anyway! [11:03] ok, well that's good - I was wondering if there was a way to run Ubuntu on my laptop, that's currently running Win 7, but keep the original OS somewhere if I ever want to switch back? [11:04] Got a problem installing any Ubuntu newer than 12.10 on an older laptop. With 13.04+ I can install just fine, but when it then boots for real it complains it can't find the root device via disk-by-uuid. I can work around that, but it feels like something is terribly wrong... [11:04] ActionParsnip: so is that possible to remove current Ubuntu with affect current window system? [11:05] Xander_: first thing i do for a windows machine i get - is use the included tools to make a restore-the-os-DVD set. [11:05] Xander_: ubuntu's installer can resize the windows partins so you can have both os's installed at the same time. [11:06] Dr_Willis, so when I'm setting up Ubuntu after rebooting my computer, I would change the partition sizes of the hard disk? [11:06] Xander_: or if you want to get fancy - i often get a new SSD for any new windows laptop i get and plan on converting to linux. I remove the windows HD. keep it safe (after making a dvd backup to go with it) and use the SSD and have a linux only system on the ssd. [11:07] Xander_: the installer can resize the partions. windows can also resize/shrink its own partions. [11:07] does ssd make your laptops a lot faster? [11:07] paulpaul1076: amazingly more faster-erer-er [11:07] dang, i need to get one of those things once i have the money [11:07] most laptops use very slow/low rpm hds also. [11:08] ubuntu supports nvidia or ati best? [11:08] and ssd drives are not that expensive these days [11:08] im tired of my visual studio taking forever to do one thing [11:08] Wiz_KeeD: i tend to use nvidia, then inten, and ati as last resort. [11:08] inten? [11:08] nvidia, intel, ati...... anything else.. run away from. ;) [11:08] S3 - TOTALLY run from. [11:09] dual gpu optimus based systems - are a good idea to avoid also. [11:09] abc: how did you install it? [11:10] abc: get a wired connection, update and install driver using additional drivers. Not tricky [11:10] what is the best web editor for ubuntu 12.04 which has graphic support and code highlighting [11:11] ActionParsnip:thanks [11:11] vantesta: there is no single best softare, for anyt8hing [11:11] How can I change "Region & Language" --> System --> System Settings --> Format ? I can only change user account format, not system format. thanks. [11:11] vantesta: what do you mean "graphic support"? [11:11] vantesta: bluefish is a wysiwyg html editor [11:11] vantesta: I just use gedit for editing html [11:12] how can I copy text in nano o I can paste it here [11:13] Patero-ng: copy the text as usual, paste to a pastebin as usual.

I'll give it a try. so you mean rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p 2222' /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Linode/MRFGR2_RETRY_Versions/MRFGR2_RetryB/ username@domain.com:/var/www/domain.com/public_html [13:52] is there a way to install JAVA JDK on ubuntu with just app? [13:52] spessex, exactly [13:52] wylde: great will try it :) [13:52] spessex that will put everything in .../MRFGR2_RetryB folder into ../public_html, if that's what you want. [13:52] !java | new1 [13:52] i have a questions about keyboard layouts, when you have eg. laptop envy 13-2100es or 2100en the machine will be (respectively) from spanish or english market but what about ee, ex, ef, et i looked in google but no luck, thank you [13:52] new1: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [13:53] gvo: yes. thats great [13:53] wylde, tnx. right i don't need it. just the JRE i think. to run netbeans [13:53] spessex: what you had duplicated the MRFGR2_RetryB in public_html, [13:54] Uuugggh, So many problems with using linux, so much stuff to learn. And every distro is truely different, different errors, different nuiances with the UI, etcetc. Being a novice operator sucks... Why isn't 13.04 opening excutables anymore, and how else would I start the said program? [13:55] gvo: yes. MRFGR2_RetryB is where all the local dev files are and I want to send them into the public_html folder on the remote server. Is this right? [13:55] spessex yes. [13:55] spessex, don't forget if you're unsure you can test with -n to do a "dry run" that won't actually make any changes. [13:56] As long as you don't want a MRFGR2_RetryB folder withing public_html [13:56] gvo: wylde: great. where would I put the -n? [13:56] spessex:anywhere before the files specs [13:57] gvo: wylde: no I don't want the MRFGR2_RetryB folder in public_html just the contents of MRFGR2_RetryB [13:57] So wylde gave you the correct answer. [13:57] spessex, you can include it with the other switches or even on it's own [13:57] rsync -n -avz or rsync -anvz [13:57] ^^ [13:57] gvo: wylde: whats confusing me is that I'm getting loads of code in terminal similar to this Applications/.AdobePatchFiles/{109570E0-F794-4497-B53A-94C74513C234}/4e053f926d1cf5b2476a7b4175b5acaf [13:57] Applications/.AdobePatchFiles/{109570E0-F794-4497-B53A-94C74513C234}/4ed68e70901e3c483886963f379150c0 [13:58] spessex: that's a hidden file that is being tranfered. [13:58] spessex, is /Applications/.../.... the full path? [13:58] spessex, make sure you're using the full path from / to prevent issues [13:59] I suspect from within the MRFGR2_RetryB folder there is a Applications folder and that file is a part of it. [13:59] gvo: wylde: I think it's the full path. I'm simply dragging the folder to the terminal which gives /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Linode/MRFGR2_RETRY_Versions/MRFGR2_RetryB [14:00] gvo, that would make sense [14:01] gvo: wylde: so I should be using rsync -n -avz -e 'ssh -p 2222' /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Linode/MRFGR2_RETRY_Versions/MRFGR2_RetryB/ username@domain.com:/var/www/domain.com/public_html to test? [14:02] yes [14:02] wylde, so what is the best way for JAVA? [14:03] gvo: wylde: so would would it be taking hidden files…. there's literally 10's of them, maybe even a hundred? I have nothing to do with AdobePatches in the folder, it's just a drupal site? [14:03] spessex: Yes it takes all files [14:03] spessex, exactly. Then when you're happy with the output, remove the -n to have the transfer take place. [14:03] wylde, is open JAVA ok? [14:04] spessex, if you don't need the dot files, (files starting with . to transfer you can exclude them. [14:04] new1 for typical usage yes [14:04] gvo: but why would it be taking Applications/.AdobePatchFiles/{109570E0-F794-4497-B53A-94C74513C234}/4ed68e70901e3c483886963f379150c0 which appears to be from the base folder Applications and not the final folder MRFGR2_RetryB? Sorry to sound a bit dumb here but I'm pretty new to this. Thanks for your patience [14:04] wylde, tnx [14:04] new1, if you want oracle java webupd8 has a ppa with an installer [14:05] wylde: can you advise how to exclude with the command I'm currently using? [14:05] new1, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html [14:05] spessex: look at the folder MRFGR2_RetryB does it contain a folder named Applications? [14:05] wylde, just need to run netbeans is that good? === gary is now known as Guest51641 [14:06] new1, I have no idea. Maybe someone else knows. Sorry [14:06] gvo: sh*t it does! my mistake. its when I was messing resyc before and obviously cocked up! thanks again :) [14:06] spessex: np [14:06] hey.

Why isn't 13.04 opening excutables anymore, and how else would I start the said program? [14:11] Guest51641: Try restarting udev or rebooting. [14:12] gvo: rebooted a few times, both with usb in or out, moving it between ports, no difference [14:12] TheDeadMessenger, I know that feel. Keep working at it and once you start to "get it" everything becomes easier [14:12] Guest51641: Hmm. Don't know of anything else to try. [14:13] esde, thanks, but htf does anyone learn anything if it keeps changing? [14:13] TheDeadMessenger, what "executables"? [14:13] gvo: Thanks anyway.. anyone else have any thoughts on this? [14:13] Its the firestorm viewer, I downloaded, extracted it and tired running it, but it opens in gedit [14:13] TheDeadMessenger, try an LTS release. [14:14] I thought I was putting a LTS on it, using wubi [14:14] but it appeared as 13.04 [14:14] So what's the next step to working out what's wrong? Is there a support ticket option anywhere? [14:15] Guest51641: You can try http://ubuntuforums.org/ [14:15] Buuuhhh, am I an Idiot!!! WTFFF [14:15] TheDeadMessenger, ugh...wubi. What exactly did you download? A tarball?

[15:51] dongie: it does get re-written, that's why modules don't work for every version [15:51] and yes, /linux-source-3.8.0/drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.h [15:51] they're there. [15:51] dongie: hence why I'm sayingcheck [15:51] this is from lixnu-source or rwahtever package from 13.04. [15:52] dongie: so what's the problem then ? if it's in the source [15:52] you've downloaded the package...and it's in the source. [15:52] ikonia: ??? on 12.04 its in linux-INCLUDES [15:52] which is stuff USERS install [15:52] imorhi, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1244710 <== nasty data loss bug [15:52] Ubuntu bug 1244710 in Ubuntu "encryption on /home/$USER now silently truncates large files" [Undecided,New] [15:52] dongie: 12.04 is a different kernel [15:52] unless I'm miss-understanding what you're saying [15:53] what im saying is that 12.04 includes dvb-core/usb/etc INCLUDE files into linux-headers-3.5.0-wahtever [15:53] while 13.04 does NOT [15:53] even though they ARE in the full kernel package [15:53] dongie: yes, it's different kernel [15:53] which no sane user is going to install or try to use [15:53] dongie: things change between kernel versions. [15:53] dongie: what are you talking about no sane user ??? [15:53] ikonia: it makes it impossible to build out-of-kernel drivers. [15:54] dongie: no, it means the out of source vendors have to keep up [15:54] that's why modules can work in Version A but not Version B [15:54] it's not uncommon [15:54] .... [15:54] are you just thick or are you totally not getting stuff [15:54] I don't believe I'm thick [15:55] I maybe missing the point of what you are saying, but changes of headers between kernels is not uncommon [15:55] that's why the libc-headers project was tried and failed.... [15:55] the headers didnt change [15:55] dongie: then if they didn't change, what's the actual issue ? [15:55] they're NOT IN LINUX-HEADERS PACKAGE [15:55] like they WERE [15:55] dongie: but you should be building against the kernel source headers, not the linux-headers which are user space [15:56] anyone here uses netvibes ? [15:56] ikonia: huh. [15:56] im buildilng against wahtever the hell "kernel-package" installs [15:57] if you got better ideas, i'm all ears. [15:57] dongie: right, so if you install the kernel-source-package you should get the headers from that kernel [15:57] ikonia: that package doesnt even untar the kernel [15:57] * Underbyte wonders if dongie's real name is Cliff Yablonski [15:57] it sticks a 90meg .tar.bz2 into /usr/src [15:57] how the h ell is that useful?

[15:58] dongie, for kernel headers, use " sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) " [15:58] OerHeks: thanks, i'm past that already. [15:58] "kernel-package" installs that.

[17:13] thnee: The documents are being generated on the server where the conversion is taking place. Copying them to a local machine, and they display correctly. Viewing them in vim shows correct Unicode character escapes. [17:14] Soltis: still wouldnt hurt to just check the integrity of the file [17:14] thnee: I've tried this with about 100 different files.

So one of first things I did is that Installed Eclipse because I develop on Android. I downloaded 64 bit package from Android website(which have Eclipse and adb) I tried it and I got error right away. So i had ot install 32bit packages(lib32stdc++6) My question is ? how is it possible that I even ran into such a problem? [17:18] Has anyone here ever used 3jelly before? [17:19] Trudko: you have 64bit linux installed? [17:19] Trudko: sounds like you're installing the wrong version of Eclipse. You should be looking for a 64-bit version. [17:19] SimPaw, I do have 64 bit Ubuntu [17:19] Anyone else have a problem with Chrome on SS where tabs get "stuck" until you drag them out of the window? [17:19] Trudko: ok, what errors were you getting? [17:19] gordonjcp, well I downloaded 64bit package from android dev website [17:19] Trudko: uname -a [17:19] Trudko: oh, sorry, nonsense [17:19] Trudko: the ADK needs 32-bit libs === dean is now known as dean|away [17:20] Trudko: http://xtrahot.chili-mango.net/2012/09/installing-android-development-tools-in-ubuntu-1204-lts-64-bit/ [17:20] Trudko: ^ try that [17:20] SimPaw, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13571145/android-adb-not-found [17:20] and btw I do use 1304 not sure if that is relevant [17:20] thnee: Yeah. On the other machine (Windows) they show up correctly, except for a couple characters which I believe are subject to a known bug (Chinese glyphs in a certain range aren't displayed properly) [17:20] Trudko: shouldn't be hugely relevant [17:21] thnee: So if I convert a document on Ubuntu, it's garbage; on Windows it's missing 2 characters. [17:21] Soltis: NOW you tell us the other machine actually runs a completely different operating system... [17:21] Trudko: Ah, so it's not eclipse, but android SDK problem [17:21] gordonjcp, maybe this is stupid question on my part but is it problem for them to provide 64bit? I didnt have any such problem on Windows. I am asking this btw to not have some bad idea about Ubuntu. [17:21] Trudko: what version of that do you have? [17:21] SimPaw, what do you mean by that? [17:21] Eclipse? [17:21] Trudko: no idea, it's annoying [17:21] or ADt? [17:21] thnee: Not really relevant to the problem at hand; the problem is NOT the document -- it's something with the Ubuntu machine I'm on. [17:22] gordonjcp, hmm I worry that I will run into such problem later on and I dont want especially while working because I really do want to switch to Ubuntu [17:22] Soltis: it's relevant allright, how could you possibly compare any settings [17:22] Trudko: what do you see in /home/antz/Development/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools/adb? [17:23] need help , just installed ubuntu 13.10 and my pc looks like this [17:23] http://imagebin.org/274731 [17:23] thnee: The Ubuntu instance is completely default; it's a headless machine. It's very probably something wrong with the font configuration; even though the fonts are showing up with fc-list, LO must not be seeing them. [17:23] Or it's defaulting to handling them improperly. [17:23] also there's another problem that's not visible , which is underscanning [17:24] I have amd radeon HD 6450 card, and Caicos driver [17:24] Hello, I'm trying to edit a PDF that has some spanish text in it using LibreOffice Draw. The text looks fine in my PDF reader before editing it, but after I edit it in Draw, the Spanish language words are huge and span beyond their normal boundaries, overlapping with other words. Anyone know how to fix this? [17:24] I'm guessing it has to do with selecting the right character encoding, but I'm not sure how to do that? [17:24] SimPaw ? what could I see there? [17:25] Trudko: The error is saying it's looking for files in that directory, but can't find them [17:25] Soltis: so did you try opening the PDF in any other program? [17:26] please help , how do I solve this display issue [17:26] SimPaw, well there were ther eproblem was that I had to install some 32 bit libraries. see answer to the problem [17:26] btw I didnt post the issue but it was same as mine === Soul-Sing is now known as ZoZie [17:27] and yes error message is confusing [17:27] thnee: Yeah, I'm viewing it in Foxit [17:27] Trudko: now I'm confused.

[17:27] also the screen resolution is set to 1280x1024 instead of 1920x1080 [17:28] is there any key board shortcut to open file browser like windows +e [17:28] i am running ubuntu [17:28] 12.04 LTS [17:28] kalaka: hold down the Super key to see keyboard shortcuts [17:28] i am running KDE right now [17:29] thnee: KDE is very much similar to windows, UNity is also good, but it crashes very oftenly [17:29] SimPaw, its the one asked in question [17:29] kalaka: I use awesome myself [17:30] thnee: For fun, I opened them in LO; the characters all show up as the same junk character instead of showing up correctly.

[18:03] intrader: The update manager shouldn't be telling about that upgrade just yet. [18:03] intrader: What release does it want to upgrade to? [18:04] intrader, the update manager should not give you 14.04, as it is not out yet, unless you provoked the -d development option [18:04] therazr, OerHeks I 'provoked the -d development version through settings [18:05] therazr https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule [18:05] intrader, oke, then join #ubuntu+1 for support [18:05] therazr, it wants me to upgrade to 14.04 [18:05] !offtopic [18:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[19:38] on ubuntu server, I'm running w3m with image support and sometimes when I'm on another user session like on alt 1 some images from alt 3 that's running w3m come up and I think that's anoying is there a way to fix it [19:38] Well it's no good for me. And https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver says my card is fully supported. So why in this mess? [19:39] stevecoh1: right i just rebooted a machine - next to your name on the first login screen should be an icon [19:40] the options will vary depending on what you have installed (i have options for gnome, ubuntu default, cinnamon, etc) [19:40] ok, that_nima, let me reboot and try that.

Browsing through ISOs precise LTS, there are many to choose from. I need 64-bits. Any tip? [20:09] fossxplorer, precise is the version number, then they have -1, -2, -3 which is the service release (probably want the newer one) [20:10] Ok, so ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso might be the right one for me? [20:10] fossxplorer, if you dont need the gui, takr the server edition [20:10] yes, thats right but that has no GUI [20:11] desktop one has the gui [20:11] if you need to customise the install for some weird hardware, you might want the alternate installer [20:12] Ah, ok. I don't need GUI at all. I administer my servers through shell :) [20:12] unable to connect to wi fi in ubuntu 13.04 [20:12] moppy, ok, great. Then i will give ^ a try :) [20:13] use window .. mr paramjot [20:13] I would like to have a minimal install like do for my CentOS boxes [20:13] alternate installer i guess then [20:13] not 100% sure [20:13] fossxplorer: Just use the mini.iso [20:13] You can basically just install a base system + ssh then add what you want later [20:13] !mini [20:13] 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.

I'd like to remove them permanently as I can get to them through the launcher bar file browser or trash [20:17] Hi. I'm now on 13.04 Gnome 3 Fallback. Is the package still in Ubuntu 13.10? If not, what will happen if I upgrade? [20:17] It seems there is a network interface(?) on my system that I was not aware: ifconfig ax0 not sure what is ax0? [20:18] Timvde: Gnome fallback is in 13.10, yes. I don't know if it is an exact match to your current package though [20:18] therazr: Actual fallback as it was, or the new "This is just Gnome shell with some plug-ins" one? [20:19] Timvde: Gnome shell with some plugins now, gnome fallback was dropped [20:19] schultza, there's some unity tweaking tools you can use to get rid of that, should be in software center [20:19] ive used them.. and its still there [20:19] therazr: Figured as much :) I should test it out in a VM before upgrading then. But I guess it isn't compatible with Compiz anymore then? Because that would be a no-go in any case. [20:21] hi, any ideas why I get this error: installation step failed an installation step failed. you can try to run the faling item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. the failing step is: select and install software (ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04) [20:22] desktop icons are "off" on unity tweak and the icons are stills showing [20:22] do i need to upgrade to 13.10 to fix this issue? this is odd, my other 13.04 desktops do have this issue [20:23] Timvde: gnome session fallback 3.6 is in the repo, but I would say you can't use it in 13.10 with gnome 3.8. I don't know if this is accurate as I didn't test that. If you can only use GNOME Shell, then no compiz [20:23] how do i download a song off youtube [20:25] ampw, look in softwarecenter for youtube downloader [20:26] thanks, lets see if they let me download as .ogg [20:26] oh nice keyboard detection :9 [20:27] amwp youtube is flash, so i guess you need to transfer it later [20:27] how can i find out the bitrate from a mp3 file in "files" from ubuntu 13.10?

[20:29] alrighty [20:29] when i view the items as a list [20:29] so that i can see it for all files [20:29] boern easy way would be your mediaplayer, it could show that info [20:30] vlc too?

[20:38] moppy, How do I verify an image on an usb device? [20:39] Sander^lap, md5 check it, i cant remember the command. someone here will know. [20:39] You'll need to boot from a disc/rescue cd. [20:39] is there any way to tell ubuntu to re-download all the files needed for /boot/ ? [20:39] Create /boot, put the proper kernel/init image etc... [20:39] moppy, yes. I checked it with md5sum [20:40] then re-install grub properly [20:40] Sander^lap, There is generally a per-session boot that is outside the bios settings, I would see if there is one on this computer [20:40] CIDR, the grub dir is still there [20:40] Yeah, but it needs to reflect the changes to /boot [20:40] wilee-nilee, how do I do that? [20:41] Hello all, I plan to update my system to 13.10 as fresh install. I have a backup of /home. Is it possible to refresh the entire /home of the new system with that of the bckup? [20:41] CIDR, ok so where would I look for the proper kernel/init image etc? and what is etc? (I don't want to leave anything out, and while I'm relatively experienced with linux administration this is one area I haven't delved into yet) [20:41] CIDR, thanks btw [20:41] Sander^lap, can you cahnge the bios mode from EFI to legacy? [20:41] Sander^lap, On mine it is f12, where f2 is the bios, check the manual look on the web with the model, and per-session boot, maybe call the manufacturer, once you know it that is the key. [20:41] intrader: I think the installer in 13.10 will provide an option for you to maintain the current contents of your /home folder [20:42] But you can format the partition entirely too, thus eliminating those contents as well [20:42] I need help with my .desktop files. I can't get the icons to show. (yes, I did make it executable) [20:42] l337ingDisorder: Do you have a lice cd? [20:42] ermm livecd ? [20:42] CIDR, no but I can download and burn one [20:42] (btw this is for 10.04) [20:42] Download and burn oen of the appropriate version. [20:43] ok [20:43] and then just copy the files from /boot/ on the cd into /boot/ on my hdd? [20:43] Was /boot a seperate partition? [20:43] no [20:43] l337ingDisorder: Try reinstalling the packages that put files into /boot/ [20:43] therazr, The installer does not have a save home option, it has to be on another partition. [20:43] bekks, which packages would those be? [20:43] bekks: yeah that's what I'm getting to [20:43] linux-image [20:44] l337ingDisorder: linux-image grub [20:44] Yeah /boot/ is a separate partition [20:44] wilee-nilee: Is that so? Well then my bad :P [20:44] You'll have to mount / and /boot, then chroot to / [20:44] then do a apt-get install inux-image [20:44] then check the contents of /boot [20:44] both are already mounted, I'm actually using the system right now [20:45] apt-get install --reinstall linux-image grub [20:45] so I'd just do sudo chroot / [20:45] moppy, I changed it to secure mode off, as there is no uefi mode in the bios. [20:45] Ubuntu will preserve the contents of /home if you re-install regardless if /home is on a separate partition or not - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation [20:45] what he said ^ [20:45] oh [20:45] ok [20:45] Of course, you can always re-format it or what not [20:45] great, no chroot needed? [20:45] I messaged you the commands to mount the proper stuff and to chroot [20:45] is there a error on the reppo ? [20:45] http://paste.jdh.dk/18 [20:45] wilee-nilee, sweet. The boot meny was f12. Now im in Linux. How do I make it boot from ubuntu all the time? [20:46] do I need to chroot before doing the reinstall of linux-image ? [20:46] l337ingDisorder: no chroot needed. [20:46] awesome [20:46] oh man [20:46] lets hope this works [20:46] lol [20:46] l337ingDisorder: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:46] Sander^lap, Not installed yet right? [20:46] (and thanks guys) [20:46] Sander^lap, as well as turning off secure boot, you can also try to change the firmware from EFI to BIOS. There's usually an option for that. It will mean you can't use hard drives > 4 TB or something, but removes all EFI issues [20:46] anybody there can help me ? [20:47] i got this error http://paste.jdh.dk/18 [20:47] Good luck. I'll be around awhile. [20:47] ok reinstall went according to plan.. [20:48] so in theory it's (hopefully) safe for me to reboot now? no further steps should be needed? [20:48] wilee-nilee, only trying it out on from the usbstick so far. [20:48] oh [20:48] jhave: you will have to file a bug report on that one [20:48] nvm, just did ll... still no files there [20:48] WAIT [20:48] l337ingDisorder: triple check the contents of /boot/ [20:48] where does ubuntu nautilus store its image thumbnails? [20:48] You deleted /boot? [20:49] and you're still on the system? [20:49] l337ingDisorder: do not reboot. [20:49] STOP NOW [20:49] CIDR: sure. [20:49] CIDR, I was in /boot/ [20:49] I thought you had already rebooted [20:49] and I did rm * [20:49] Ok. You're still on the box? no need to chroot etc... [20:49] CIDR: He deleted it, and reinstalled linux-image and grub. [20:49] Sander^lap, on the usb only it seem that per-session is your best choice. I always use it my self anyway for usb's [20:49] Yeah, if you did what bekks said check the contents of /boot now [20:49] CIDR: And I just told him to triple check the content of /boot [20:50] yeah sorry, doing too many things at once [20:50] I did, it's still empty (except the grub dir, which was unaffected by my screw-up) [20:51] That's not right. sudo apt-get install linux-image completes successfully though?

[20:53] empty, except the grub dir [20:53] (which was unaffected when I did rm *) [20:53] is /boot mounted? [20:54] the grub dir is accessible so I presume so [20:54] it's listed in df -h [20:57] you guys both silent hoping the other can find a fix? (I'm silent hoping one of you guys can hehe...cause i can't) [20:57] Hi! [20:58] i guess a reinstall isn't the end of the world... but it seems like it should be fixable [20:58] Can I netinstall via wireless? Or do I need a cable connection the first time? [20:58] It is fixable. [20:58] l337ingDisorder: I'm just not sure why /boot is still empty [20:58] wilee-nilee, ah. OK. So when I install it side by side on the disk.. then it will auto boot into ubuntu? [20:58] would it maybe be worth doing apt-get remove linux-image [20:58] and then installing fresh? [20:59] I don't see what it can hurt [20:59] true enough [20:59] * l337ingDisorder tries [20:59] still empty [20:59] But the --reinstall should work... linux-image should install vmlinuz, initrd, system.map etc.. [20:59] pastebin the output of /boot [20:59] ermm of mount [21:00] ?

[21:10] Linux unicron 2.6.32-50-generic #112-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 9 20:28:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux [21:10] Linux D525NAS 3.5.0-42-generic #65~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 2 20:57:18 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [21:10] l337ingDisorder: take a look at what I gave you ^^ [21:10] Ntemis, That is the 12.04.2 kernel [21:10] l337ingDisorder: apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.32-50-generic [21:10] what? no! [21:11] i have the same kernel on my desktop and is 12.04.3 [21:11] Ntemis, Just a stack thing, you have all the latet except for the raring kernel. [21:11] latest* [21:11] bodhi_zazen, thanks -- when you say mkdir kernel do you specifically mean /kernel or would it be /boot/kernel/ ? [21:11] update/upgrade so i should [21:11] oh [21:11] will try that CIDR [21:11] and dist-upgrade brings nothing [21:12] okaaay.. downloadin linux-image generic [21:12] this looks promising [21:12] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:12] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [21:12] O.O [21:13] Ntemis, Read very carefully and be fully backed up , a clone would be the best in my opinion. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [21:13] this is a server [21:13] uh oh [21:13] l337ingDisorder: do you know what files to copy to /boot ? [21:13] Has anybody tried installing Windows after Ubuntu and using EasyBCD to restore Grub before? [21:13] Ntemis, Please don;t just post here just because you feel you can it feels the channel up and keep it in one set. [21:14] fills* [21:14] l337ingDisorder: ? [21:14] bodhi_zazen, no.. [21:14] CIDR, http://pastebin.com/0VKjwheT [21:15] Lyut: there are several methods to restoring grub after windows, pick one and ask if you have a problem with one of the Ubuntu tools such as boot-repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [21:15] Lyut, You don't need to, that just adds a 3rd bootloader grub will take care of it, just needs reloading to the mbr, if this is a msdos partitioning setup. [21:15] That's because there's already an initrd.img in /boot/grub [21:15] That's ok. [21:15] pl [21:15] ok [21:15] pastebin /boot now [21:16] CIDR, http://pastebin.com/bcjF5G2r [21:16] Hello. I installed Ubuntu 13.10 and the pkg cryptsetup but for strange reasons it doesn't find its way to the initrd.img. Any idea what has changed in 13.10? [21:16] More better [21:16] looking good so far [21:16] wilee-nilee: Thank you , now is clear what i need to do! [21:16] Does it hang right after grub vlt? [21:16] Should be good to go [21:16] ok.. [21:16] coms: What? [21:16] Ntemis, Cool, goo luck. ;) [21:16] good* [21:16] And why am stuck at 12.04.2 :D [21:17] CIDR: update grub (just to be sure) [21:17] \ [21:17] coms: Does what hang? [21:17] the boot process [21:17] cause i'm having the same problem [21:17] I have been using backbox happily for a few weeks now but today when I booted I noticed all my window borders had disappeared so now I can't minimize, maximize etc. Thoughts? [21:17] fingers crossed heheh... gonna reboot, if I'm not back in here with thank-you's I'll be poppin' in a liveCD heh [21:17] Thanks for the help, bodhi_zazen and wilee-nilee [21:17] bodhi_zazen, I'll do that first just for good measure [21:18] coms: The boot process asks me for my cryptsetup passphrase but that fails because there's no /sbin/cryptsetup in the initramfs. [21:18] Adam_Johns, Is this a backbox OS? [21:18] probably not needed l337ingDisorder , but will not hurt [21:18] wilee-nilee, Yes friend. [21:18] Adam_Johns, blackbox is not supported here. [21:19] Adam_Johns, Cool, try ##linux, this is ubuntu support is all, you have to be registered to go to that channel isall. [21:19] bodhi_zazen, I did apt-get update [21:19] coms: When I generate the initrd.img (by invoking dpkg-reconfigure cryptsetup or mkinitramfs) I even get a short msg that it's cryptsetup's turn now ... but without copying the needed files to the initrd. [21:19] just set my 7 yo son up with my old Acer and Lubuntu, he loves it [21:19] is there a way to tell it to update grub specifically? [21:19] any errors from that l337ingDisorder ? [21:19] I realise that but was told it was an ubuntu base so thought I would try, Sorry for the mistake. [21:19] sudo update-grub [21:20] Adam_Johns, try #backbox irc official channel on irc.autistici.org [21:20] no errors [21:20] ok [21:20] so in theory I should be good to go for a reboot now... (?) [21:20] l337ingDisorder: you should be good to go then, does not appear you have any residual problem with apt or grub [21:20] Ineed. [21:20] ok here goes nothin [21:20] Adam_Johns, This appears to be a backbaox irc channel I see none on freenode. http://irc.lc/autistici/backbox/ [21:21] (and in case I don't make it back, thanks for the help) [21:21] * l337ingDisorder holds his breath and plunges under water [21:21] uname says that I am running kernel version 3.11.0-12-generic (on saucy). Is this equivalent kernel 3.11.6 or is it actually 3.11.0? [21:21] Is /sbin/cryptsetup still supposed to be installed to initrd.img automatically in Ubuntu 13.10? [21:21] wilee-nilee: the picture in link shows that i must be on 12.04.3 to be able to migrate to rarring HWE [21:21] (+ the needed libs of course) [21:22] vlt: should be, how did you install / set up LUKS? [21:22] bodhi_zazen: I installed the pkg cryptsetup via apt [21:22] Alright. This is driving me nuts. I have ubuntu 13.10 installed, and xbmc 12.2 installed. In XBMC I only have Defaults (Pulseaudio) for audio output available. If I remove/kill pulse XBMC has the right passthtrough devices, but then no sound works in the gui/web broswer/ etc... How do I either get ubuntu to work with only Alsa, OR make pulseaudio not take over the audio hardware completely? [21:22] Ntemis, If it was 12.04.3 you would have it already I believe, I installed it and it was the raring kernel. === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [21:22] vlt: so you set up LUKS manually ? [21:23] wilee-nilee: can i do this? from 12.04.2 :: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-rarring xserver-xorg-lts-rarring libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-rarring [21:23] rather then during installation ? [21:23] Ntemis, On a server it does not really matter anyway really. [21:23] bodhi_zazen: Yes, the device was already a LUKS device. What do I need to do to let /sbin/cryptsetup appear in the initrd.img? [21:23] i know but... i stay on 12.04.2? no way!! [21:23] Ntemis, Are you backed up? [21:23] nope [21:24] any reported issues? [21:24] vlt: rebuild the initrd, can you boot it from an old kernel ? [21:24] Guys I need help I have dozens of SSL errors with Arora [21:24] bodhi_zazen: I rebuilt it over and over. [21:24] bodhi_zazen: No cryptsetup [21:24] Ntemis, All it is, is a kernel stack, hardly important, and all I can say is if you really care image/clone it ad follow the instruction in the link. [21:25] and* [21:25] vlt: how did you rebuild it ? [21:25] bodhi_zazen: I tried mkinitramfs and dpkg-reconfigure. [21:25] wilee-nilee: with the quantal cmd? [21:26] Ntemis, I can't help you here, I would if I knew you were backed up honestly. [21:26] is my risk [21:26] hi at the momemnt i have a linux backuppc that i am looking to configure and connect to all machines in the building if anyone will be able to tell me what will be the procedures to do that [21:26] vlt: try update-initramfs [21:26] and i have a lot of gb on this so i cant backup -> no space [21:26] bodhi_zazen: Thanks. brb [21:27] Ntemis, WE see to many people here who do not back up and spend days on this stuff, when a simple clone would fix it. [21:27] clone what? i can always bootup the old kernel [21:28] Ntemis, You have your cart about 10 mile in front of our horse then if you have no room. [21:28] am using ecryptfs, my disk started going bad, i was able to recover all of .ecryptfs and part of .Private .. Would that make it to where i cant mount what i recovered [21:28] bodhi_zazen: Nope. When I look into the generated initrd cpio archive there's no cryptsetup binary (nor libs) [21:28] clear and out, am staying on 12.04.2 for now [21:28] is cryptsetup installed ? [21:29] yes, i installed it all back [21:29] uname says that I am running kernel version 3.11.0-12-generic (on saucy). Is this equivalent kernel 3.11.6 or is it actually 3.11.0? [21:29] is cryptsetup in I think /usr/share/initramfs/hooks? [21:30] cgt: 3.11.0 - as it says in the title [21:30] did you update the correct kernel image ? [21:30] that file dont exist [21:30] you think wrong [21:30] ikonia: I figured, but why wouldn't Ubuntu provide updated versions of k3.11? [21:30] bodhi_zazen: Yes, cryptsetup is installed and works. [21:31] cgt: why would they unles there is something needed [21:31] sounds like a bug report then [21:31] I can tell you how to manually add cryptsetup to the initramfs ;) [21:32] ikonia: The updates are released because they are needed, not just because they can... [21:32] its in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ [21:32] cgt: who said ? [21:32] ikonia: look at the changelog [21:32] bodhi_zazen: I get a warning from update-initramfs "cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab for crypt". I know this warning from earlier Ubuntu versions but that hasn't been a problem. And I know that at least _something_ happens with cryptsetup during the creation. [21:32] cgt: that doesn't mean they are "needed" [21:32] cgt: they can't update to every minor kernel bump, the workload would be through the roof === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [21:32] it's not realistic [21:33] so post /etc/cryptsetup [21:33] and the full error message [21:33] ikonia: Why would it be "through the roof"? [21:33] bodhi_zazen: There's no error message. [21:33] the warning [21:33] cgt: minor kernel version bumps happen quite quickly, they would need constant rebuilds and testing [21:33] bodhi_zazen: actually its the same system install and i had everything on an external drive, and it droped and started going bad, and what i coud recover i put back in the home folder [21:33] bodhi_zazen: /etc/cryptsetup is empty. [21:33] and /etc/crypttab, lol [21:34] bodhi_zazen: "cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab for crypt -" [21:34] can you pastebin the contents of /etc/crypttab [21:34] ikonia: The changes are usually minor, it should require sa extensive testing as major versions [21:34] bodhi_zazen: /etc/crypttab is empty (except for the commented header line) [21:34] # [21:34] *shouldn't [21:34] thats all thats in crypttab [21:35] cgt: it's still testing, [21:35] should it be mounted while doing this? [21:35] bodhi_zazen? ^ [21:35] ikonia: Sure, but it can't be that much. Minor kernel versions aren't supposed to break things. [21:36] cgt: the test cycle would still be a lot [21:36] ikonia: it's just minor fixes. LOTS of bugfixes [21:36] cgt: no distro does this though [21:36] Add a line for your root device [21:36] what should it be [21:36] format is " none" [21:36] name is UUID= the drive UUID (blkid) [21:36] not following [21:37] and cryptsetup likdUUID will give the devide [21:37] its back in the home user folder now [21:38] example - luks UUID=2505567a-9e27-4efe-a4d5-15ad146c258b [21:38] How do I see if a usb wifi is detected correctly in ubuntu?

[21:41] bodhi_zazen: I know how to inflate an old initrd and how to create a new initrd.img (gz) file. [21:42] bodhi_zazen: I just don't know ehich files to put where. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [21:42] bodhi_zazen: And btw: There's no cryptsetup file in /usr/share/inintramfs-tools/hooks [21:43] bodhi_zazen: There's a cryptroot but not a generic cryptsetup script. === Guest49477 is now known as lighta-usb [21:44] CIDR, didn't work :( [21:44] am now on a liveCD [21:44] hang on, I'll pastebin what it says when I try to boot now === Sander^lap is now known as Sander^Lap [21:45] Hemm [21:46] http://pastebin.com/dMbaKJB0 [21:46] err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo The Mesa OpenGL driver is using software rendering, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly [21:46] anybody know how to fix this? its for lord of the rings online [21:46] Any ideas? [21:46] CIDR, bodhi_zazen: This comes up when I boot: http://pastebin.com/dMbaKJB0 [21:46] vlt: I think your problem is with ecryptfs, and not LUKS, thus you are barking up the wrong tree [21:46] Hey everyone. Quick question: how do I get in touch with the folks at developer.ubuntu.com? I need to upload a new version of my application and it keeps giving me a 400 error. [21:47] hrmm [21:47] that's weird, and you did do the grub-update [21:47] ya [21:47] it threw no errors [21:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1511863&page=3 Try the steps on post #22 [21:47] you on a live CD l337ingDisorder ? [21:47] bodhi_zazen, yeah [21:48] CIDR, thanks will check that [21:48] bodhi_zazen: There's no ecryptfs onvolved here. [21:48] *involved [21:48] bodhi_zazen: Why did you think ecryptfs? [21:48] tally ho chaps, i have installed ubuntu minimalist, and the i installed gnome fallback on top of it, however the GUI does not start on startup, how do i start the gui, startx doesn't work [21:50] vlt: mkdir ~/initrd [21:51] bodhi_zazen: done [21:51] cd [21:51] Pyro_Killer: try service lightdm restart [21:51] CIDR, hit a snag at the very first step...

[21:54] no, and I do not think you need much libs [21:54] vlt: http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/initramfs/ [21:54] CIDR, is there an easy way for me to find out? [21:54] hi.. trying to install php-zts but can't seem to find it - apt-get install php-zts [21:54] vlt: and you should file a bug report to see if you can fix the underlying problem === Abd_Allatif_ is now known as Abd_Allatif [21:55] bodhi_zazen: When I trie dto boot with only /sbin/cryptsetup it complained about missing libcryptsetup.so.4. So I copied it also, it complained about another one ... So I wanted to find out how to do this right.

You saved me another 13 boot, create initrd, reboot cycles [21:57] HeathHayle: The quesiton was posted quite a while ago. You may need to ask again.

[22:13] and one has the right stuff on it [22:13] CIDR, I unmounted /tmp/boot and mounted /dev/sdb1 to /tmp/boot [22:13] so we should be able to mount both of them, then do a cp-dpRX /whervertgoodstuffis /wherverisblank [22:13] CIDR, now /tmp/boot shows the files that were in /boot/ before === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [22:14] umount /dev/sdb1; mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/boot [22:14] ?

[22:17] I just upgraded to 13.10 and I want to use the static window switcher. But I don't see that option in compiz config manager anywhere. Is there something I need to install to get the old switcher back? [22:17] l337ingDisorder: Pastebin: sudo blkid please [22:17] bekks, (nautilus:2191): Gdk-WARNING **: nautilus: Fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server :0. [22:17] CIDR, to reitterate, there are two drives.. sda has only the ext3 raid partition, sdb has the ext3 raid partition and an ext3 boot partition that is not raid [22:17] (just making sure we're on the same page) [22:18] l337ingDisorder: then mount -t ext3 ... [22:18] bekks, why am I mounting /dev/sda1 exactly? It doesn't have the boot partition on it [22:19] sda only has the counterpart to the raid partition on sdb [22:19] but it does [22:19] bekks, I think maybe we should simply revert this kernel update. [22:19] I'm guessing sda has nothing on it === vale_ is now known as vixxo [22:19] CIDR, sda has data on it [22:19] bekks, there are errors relating to her wacom tablet input device, and also some immediate problem with nautilus... Im not sure how important nautilus is for unity [22:19] CIDR, it has the mirror of the raid array [22:20] Hey guys, when I try and install windows on to another partition, I can't because the disk is in GPT, is there any way around this? [22:20] bekks, would it fail desktop environment from loading [22:20] Im saying sda has a 100 meg parititon on it tow right? [22:20] I want to dual-boot Windows for gaming [22:20] both match? [22:20] What's the best way in Ubuntu to check for bad sectors on a drive? [22:20] sda1 sdb1 ? [22:20] CIDR, no [22:20] hola [22:21] They're not both 100 meg partitions? [22:21] CIDR, on sda there is only one ext3 partition, 300GB or so... on sdb there are two partitions; one is a 100mb partition and the other is the matching 300gb partition for the raid array [22:21] ohhh [22:21] Is SNA enabled by default in 13.10? [22:21] so your boot parition isn't actually on a raid1 array [22:21] Gotcha [22:21] I set it up so that my /boot/ partition was not raid [22:22] I'm guessing your menu.1st isn't correct [22:22] sophie_: sudo badblocks /dev/sda1 or whatever partition you want [22:22] trying to boot from sda1 and not working [22:22] menu.1st tries to load /dev/md0 [22:22] bodhi_zazen, thanks [22:22] yeah... [22:22] grub [22:22] How can I ungroup windows in the switcher in 13.10? [22:22] should have backed up my old menu.1st before updating grub [22:23] bekks, go figure... I unplugged the wacom tablet device, and now we can log in. [22:23] technically trying to boot from /dev/sdb1 not /dev/sda1 [22:23] bekks, into desktop that is [22:23] pastbin your menu.1st [22:23] Yeah, as you should be [22:23] but your menu.1st is probably pointing to sda1 [22:23] sophie_: be warned, it may be s sign your drive is failing, it can last a while, or it can fail with little or no warning (I've seen both), back up your data ;) [22:24] The drive is quite old, I just want to see if there's any sign of it failing [22:24] CIDR, http://pastebin.com/BnxXDMNu [22:25] always assume a drive is failing.. and can die at any time. [22:25] sophie_: you might also want smartmontools [22:25] http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-hard-drive-health-on-linux-with-smartmontools/ [22:26] hi [22:26] hrmm [22:26] we figured out that latest kernel update screwed up one of the input devices, and failst the unity and gnome desktop environmentss. [22:26] Alright [22:26] how can we undo the kernel update? [22:26] Try changing your first deal to root=/dev/sdb1 [22:26] and reboot [22:27] thought that might be the solution [22:27] will do [22:27] mediawork: the grub menu should have a list of all installed kernels. select an older one. [22:27] mediawork: boot an old kernel from the grub menu and then remove the new kernel [22:27] Dr_Willis, bodhi_zazen , ok, thanks, however, remove as in how? --- sudo rm /boot/...? [22:28] Dr_Willis, bodhi_zazen , sudo apt-get remove kernel? [22:28] mediawork: err... USE THE PACKAGE MANAGER. ;) if you used it to install stuff.. [22:28] apt-get [22:28] theres even ways to just select the older kernel by default in /etc/default/grub [22:30] Can't mini.iso be dd into USB pen drive for installation? [22:30] bodhi_zazen, Dr_Willis , I did aptitude search kernel, but there are no update packages listed... how can I find the one I want to remove? [22:30] dailylinux, no gui there? [22:31] grep vmlinuz /boot [22:31] mediawork: by its version number i would assume. the askubuntu.com site has some info on how to select the proper kernels i recall. [22:31] dpkg -l | grep linux [22:31] dailylinux, The regular iso can I would assume the mini can. [22:31] bbl [22:31] hmm, ok [22:32] bodhi_zazen, that was it!... we have kernel update 47... i.e. linux-image-extra-3.8.0-32-generic 3.8.0-32.47 [22:32] dailylinux, Which release, the mini became the alternate in 12.10 as far as the name. === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [22:32] mediawork: you just will not be able to delete (remove) a running kernel is all [22:33] mediawork: you can file a bug report and put kernel updates on hold [22:33] bodhi_zazen, it only affects all those wacom tablet artists out there... they are a minority :) [22:33] http://askubuntu.com/questions/18654/how-to-prevent-updating-of-a-specific-package [22:34] well, will not get fixed if you do not report it [22:34] bodhi_zazen, ok will file bug report, after I confirm it is only the kernel. [22:35] Has anyone here installed Windows after Ubuntu before? [22:35] I need some help with it :P [22:35] Lyut, It booting to windows now? [22:35] No [22:35] Lyut: it has been done many times, describe your problem [22:36] I can't install it because my disk is formatted in GPT [22:36] I want to install it on the same disk as Ubuntu [22:36] How do I shutdown a crashed ubuntu system? [22:36] Lyut, Did you originally have a W8 oem on there? [22:36] W7 [22:36] hold the power button HeathHayle [22:36] But I removed it [22:37] Although there was a 100mb partition left, I wasn't sure if it was my SSD manufacturer's partition or if it was installed by Windows [22:37] Thats not a safe shutdown though is it? [22:37] Lyut, The point is why the gpt is this a uefi computer? [22:37] HeathHayle, before that can you ctrl+alt+F1 to console? [22:37] Yeah it's UEFI [22:38] Lyut, Go to ##windows on this issue, come back for the grub boot. [22:38] is there an easy-to-use software for recording a desktop with sound to a video file? [22:38] Then how do I shutdown after that? [22:38] Alright thanks [22:39] Lyut, NO problem uefi info here is sketchy at times is all. [22:39] HeathHayle, 'sudo shutown -P now' to shutdwon. 'sudo reboot' to reboot, or optionally maybe restarting lightdm may recover you 'sudo service lightdm restart'. [22:39] I tried "Kazaam" and "recordMyDesktop" without luck === Pyro_Killer_ is now known as Pyro_Killer [22:40] No its not working when I type the password the HDD Is still working on the other task that was it going in the gui i think [22:41] HeathHayle, which command isn't working? [22:41] Its just console is being really slow [22:42] HeathHayle, it will if somthing like compiz is puking ;) Running the cpu up to 99-100% [22:42] Lyut, You have to be registered with freenode to use the ##windows channel and some others. [22:42] Is it ok to shutdown at console if the gui is trying to do something? [22:43] Oh right :/ === Rez is now known as LoRez [22:43] HeathHayle, far better than a hard reset since it will at least attempt to shutdown properly [22:44] 22/j #areca [22:44] gna. [22:44] It didn't reqnise -p [22:44] HeathHayle, -P [22:44] How can I install more software on my usb stick with live ubuntu? [22:45] HeathHayle, case matters [22:45] I cant find.. eg. ubuntu-restricted-extras package when I apt-get search for it. [22:45] Oh yer its linux forgot that lol [22:45] Why is linux case sen I never get that? [22:46] Because the filesystem is case sensitive... [22:46] Isn't Case Sensitivity a POSIX standard? [22:46] HeathHayle: Because Linux isnt VAX/VMS. [22:46] It said shutdown: time expected [22:46] Sander^Lap, 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install packagename' [22:47] HeathHayle: Then specify: shutdown -h now [22:47] HeathHayle, now [22:47] HeathHayle, I gave you the full command earlier ;) [22:47] wylde, ive done that. still the package isnt there. [22:48] Sorry did you? [22:48] HeathHayle, yep. I gave you 3 options, restart lightdm, reboot or shutdown(using the poweroff switch) [22:48] wylde, I guess I need to add some repositories for it. [22:49] Sander^Lap, oooo I missed where it was a usb [22:49] Sorry missed that [22:49] Lol [22:50] wylde, yes. Fresh downloaded ubuntu 13.10 on a usb stick :-) [22:50] i dont think its working lol [22:50] because it should be case sensitive, why would you not want case sensitivity? [22:50] Yes it is lol [22:51] Sander^Lap, ahh. not sure. Although you should still be able to install software to a live session. I only use them typically for installs :) [22:51] One of the Ubuntu devs came to Ogg camp, and i totally crashed his Ubuntu phone, and then it went in to boot loop :P [22:52] wylde, I just need some software to play youtube and stuff. So I can test the grafic card and sound before I install anything to this pc. [22:52] Stupid old computer I am trying to get the usb wifi working i was working down the trubbleshooting and it just when crazy slow [22:53] Sander^Lap, pastebin the full output when you try to install. 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [22:53] hi [22:54] how do i rest bios in terminal [22:54] please be more specific ion your requests [22:54] my bios time showing dissent then ubuntu [22:55] i dont have ntp installed [22:55] or utc [22:55] wylde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6303335/ [22:55] in windows shows same time in bios and in windows why linux differnt [22:56] Is it ok to ask for help in here or just i be googling for the answer? [22:56] how do i rest bios time in terminal [22:56] time in bios anoying me not the same as ubuntu [22:57] any one out there gonna help me [22:57] i dont have ntp installed or utc [22:57] Danny__, you set the bios time in the bios. Reboot, enter the bios and set the time there. It's not uncommon for the bios to be set to UTC and the OS adjusts according to location. [22:57] i wanna rest bios time [22:58] wylde i changed bios time reverted back [22:58] Hi [22:58] Is this the Blowuntu channel? [22:58] How to I install linux drivers from a cd? [22:59] my time is 9 :58 am bios says 19 :58 pm [22:59] gustavo: Ubuntu, not Blowuntu [22:59] HeathHayle: you don't [22:59] HeathHayle: what is it a CD for? [22:59] thats strange [22:59] A usb wifi adaptor [22:59] im in ternminal how can i fix it [22:59] HeathHayle: plug it in and see if it works [22:59] Danny__: hwclock [23:00] Danny__: set your hardware clock to the correct time, then set your timezone [23:00] HeathHayle: find out what chipset it uses, google it [23:00] Danny__: hardware clock should be UTC, always [23:00] Thats my problem it sees my hidden network but wont connect to it [23:00] HeathHayle: "hidden network"? [23:00] gordon i dont have utc [23:00] HeathHayle: oh, you hid SSID? [23:00] Yer [23:01] HeathHayle: yeah, don't do that, it doesn't work [23:01] HeathHayle: it kinda sorta works, *sometimes*, mostly by accident [23:01] im using linux mint ubuntu based [23:01] It worked on ubuntu 10.0 [23:01] HeathHayle: more by luck than design [23:01] !mint | Danny__ [23:01] Danny__: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [23:01] yeah grodon dosent have utc [23:01] Danny__: but in general, set your hardware clock to UTC time [23:02] Yeah, but it is though [23:02] gordon how do i do it no utc [23:02] Lol but it sees it it just has a red no entry sign on the wifi icon [23:02] Danny__: what do you mean "no utc"? [23:02] Danny__: you need to get help with Mint on their chat, which is the #linuxmint-help channel on irc.spotchat.org [23:03] gordon when i installed no utc [23:03] hey guys, I have a very slow internet connection via umts, how can I get the most out of it, so that I can at least watch youtube videos in everything minimum? [23:03] grodon ive been banned from mint chat [23:03] Danny__: probably because you don't make sense [23:03] Danny__: do you know what UTC time is? [23:03] grodon i kno [23:03] no grodon i dont [23:03] sod it, I give up [23:03] it's midnight [23:04] Danny__: then learn to tell the time [23:04] gordon my os time is 10:04 am bios differnt [23:04] gordon i want same os in bios [23:05] I'm having an issue with my display [23:05] when I start up;half of the time the screen is very bad,and moving or closing windows results in afterimages [23:05] so it looks like there are hundreds of windows open ,if I move one ,because they freeze in place [23:05] how do i rest bios time in terminal [23:05] I did an update a few days ago which may have resulted in this behaviour [23:06] Danny__: just do it in the bios? [23:06] pryo changes to differnt time when i change it in bios [23:06] Why wont linux connect to a hidden network then? [23:06] I can reset it with [23:06] unity --reset,then reboot [23:06] sudo restart lightdm and then reboot [23:06] they both solve my issue [23:06] in windows bios is the same as windows [23:06] but I'd like to prevent it [23:06] Bollebib2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:07] why linux bios time differnt [23:07] so it's possibly a faulty package. [23:07] ibe been stuck at bios time for two days [23:08] any terminal commands for bios time [23:08] moep [23:08] I'd like some help in finding that package,if possible [23:08] i just want time in os same as the bios thats all [23:09] i dont have ntp or utc [23:09] Danny__: third post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=836480&s=1ef1fe34eeb89fca50e8d4d33e235528 === alder_ is now known as Alder [23:10] wylde, I had to add the multiverse repositories. [23:10] Kinda strange why they aint added to the usb stick image [23:11] prokiller that didnt help i need commands [23:11] how do i rest bios time in terminal [23:11] to match the os time [23:12] im no nerd or geek [23:12] ive got terminal opend [23:12] How do I a flash plugin in firefox? [23:13] install :) [23:13] sudo apt rgk time sysn [23:13] sudo apt rest time [23:13] Sander^Lap: google it, though i always have issues with it, but installing cvhromium and installing it onto there is a LOT easier [23:13] fuck the bios time no one help me [23:14] hello [23:14] argh damn it [23:14] dammm it [23:14] enough of this crap [23:14] ive been tuck bios time for two days [23:14] Sander^Lap, ahh alrighty. Apologies. Had an unannounced visitor show up. :/ [23:15] i just want restore bios time to the os in linux in terminal [23:15] Danny__: http://linux.gids.nl/time.html [23:15] wylde, all ok.

[23:16] but* [23:16] Wondring which repository mplayer is in. [23:17] Hey, having some problems booting ubuntu after some software updates, wanted to see if someone could help me out [23:17] Ah. Found out. Needed both multiverse and universe. :-) [23:17] Sander^Lap, universe [23:17] oops too late ;) [23:18] Does anyone here host a virtualisation from Ubuntu? [23:18] I am looking to do so :D [23:18] of w7 [23:18] The boot process hangs on the purple screen right after the grub dualboot menu, already tried reinstalling my kernel but that didn't help, any ideas? [23:18] Im using ubuntu 12 wondering how I can make my fonts look right on a 66cm (26 inch) screen [23:18] prokiller disnt work [23:18] coms, what release? [23:18] hangs right on loading initial ramdisk [23:19] 13.04 [23:19] coms: give it 15 minutes [23:19] coms, Does an earlier kernel boot? [23:19] yeh 3.8.0-19 boots, but it terminal mode only [23:20] coms, is 3.8.0-19 a kernal from the repos? [23:20] ubuntu repos* [23:20] yeh [23:21] Hello everyone, my computer is an ASUS Eee PC, with 2GB of RAM, and processor ATOM N450 1.6 GHz. It says here that it is 64bit capable... Do you guys think I should install the 32 or 64 bit version of Ubuntu in it? [23:21] coms, Is this associated with a graphics driver perchance the terminal boot? [23:21] Bosi 12.04.3 64 bit [23:21] Bosi: im running 64bit xubuntu on my EEEpc 1001xpd right now [23:22] doubt it, purged my ATI driver and reinstalled xorg [23:22] oops its a 1001PXD ;) [23:22] but perhaps [23:22] Bosi: using 13.10 xubuntu and lubuntu on mind. The unity/ubuntu/gnome-shell desktop was a bit much for it [23:22] I had an amusing thought yesterday, in terms of ubuntu 08.04 is an ancient operating system, but some people still run windows XP from 2001 [23:23] coms, It seems you have a set of problems not associated the latest kernel and graphic issues, I suspect the graphic stuff is the first that need fixing, the kernel just needs a purge probably. [23:23] or a fix on the kernel, but probably wont work without the graphics being correct. coms [23:24] Dr_Willis, I actually have Xubuntu 32 bit that I installed long time ago, but this thought just ocurred to me. What will be the main difference if I change to 64 bit? [23:24] wilee-nilee, what would be how would you go about diagnosing the problem? [23:25] Bosi: It can utelize the processor to its full capacity, instead of runing everything on a single core [23:25] Bosi: you might not notice any differance. in theory video rencoiding or other math intensive stuff may be quicker. I basically ONLY use 64bit and only have the 64bit iso's/flash drives - because all my pcs are 64bit [23:25] coms, I'm not up on graphics, but If it were me I would get that fixed first, it seems you have tried to fix this or at least ran updates without it being addressed. [23:25] k thanks [23:25] Bosi: i dont see much reason these days to not use 64bit - if your cpu can handle 64bit [23:25] coms, I would reload the clone I have of my working system, but not everyone clone their setups. [23:27] only cloned my data files, not my setup :( [23:27] Dr_Willis, yeah, when I installed I knew less than I know today, so it didn't ocur to me installing 64bit. While running Xubuntu 32bit I feel my CPU a little too loaded... this might be the solution I was looking for. [23:27] hi [23:27] I had my 14.04 go south on me by running a partial upgrade just today, I popped in my usb with clonezilla reloaded the working image and am back in business, no running a reinstall and setups, took about 5-10 min.. [23:27] lubuntu would be lighter then xfce also Bosi [23:28] how do i rest bios time in terminal [23:28] rest = 'reset' ? [23:28] i dont have ntp or utc [23:28] Dr_Willis, do you think the next release of Lubuntu will be a LTS? I might try Lubuntu [23:29] dr willias keep the os time same as bios [23:29] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/hwclock.8.html [23:29] my time is 10 :29 am bios time says 24:00 [23:29] i think we had this discussion the other day. the bios clock will normally NOT be the same as the os time,. due to the os knowing about timezones and DST [23:30] Bosi: lts means very little to me really. [23:30] im not even sure on the lts-ness-state of lubuntu now. ;) [23:30] ok dr williws [23:31] dr williws so bios time will be not same in os [23:31] hwclock can read/set/reset the bios time [23:31] Dr_Willis, I heard they'd try to make the 14.04 a LTS release, but that's what I heard... anyway... I might try that. [23:32] dr williws is it sudo hwclock can read/set/reset the bios time [23:32] Danny_: if you lived in england on the UTC timezone.. it could ;) except when they change to DST. (if they do) [23:32] Pyro_Killer, looks like I just needed to install the "flashplugin-installer" package. [23:32] Bosi: i always stick to the latest release [23:32] Danny_: man hwclock id have to read the man pages to tell you the syntax [23:33] dr wilwas trminal comands rest bios time === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:34] Danny_: the terminal command can read, or set the bios time [23:34] Dr_Willis, well, I was happy with the 13.04 of Xubuntu, but when I upgraded a lot of problems appeared. I really regret of upgrading. With a LTS release I'd not have that problem. [23:34] it also mentions if you can set the clock to the local time. but then you need to make sure you set your Timezone correctly [23:34] what command [23:35] Danny_: have you looked at 'man hwclock' yet? [23:35] Danny_, read the manual. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man8/hwclock.8.html . Also, mint isn't supported here. #linuxmint-help channel on irc.spotchat.org [23:36] wydle to hard man [23:37] i just need sudo commands so i can copy and paste [23:37] then give up i guess.. the man page even gives examples of setting the time/date [23:37] i just need rest bios time in terminal with correct os time [23:37] i need trun of utc [23:38] i dont have ntp installed [23:38] Danny_, come back on a supported distribution perhaps? [23:38] you use the --set --date option. like the man page example shows. [23:38] i have ubuntu [23:38] Sander^Lap: In my experince it doesn't always work [23:39] cock [23:39] cock [23:39] cock [23:39] Danny_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:39] * wilee-nilee thinks this chanell should be called #ubuntu-enablers [23:39] Across the bottom of my screen is a menu strip that shows each running program... I don't know what it's called... a panel? Anyway, mousing over each item causes a menu to "drop up". Those "dropups" are translucent. How can I make them opaque? [23:40] Hello, I'm trying to edit a PDF that has some spanish text in it using LibreOffice Draw. The text looks fine in my PDF reader before editing it, but after I edit it in Draw, the Spanish language words are huge and span beyond their normal boundaries, overlapping with other words. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm guessing it has to do with selecting the right character encoding, but I'm not sure how to do that? [23:40] apb: panel and task list.. what desktop are you using? [23:41] kubuntu? kde? Are they the same or different? [23:41] kubuntu uses kde. [23:41] kubuntu is ubuntu with kde installed [23:41] kde has dozens of theme settings. [23:41] so you may need to explore them. I dont use kde enought ot know where theymay be at [23:41] Pyro_Killer: Thanks, that's what I was kind of thinking but wasn't sure. [23:42] abp: np, install all of the desktops [23:42] I don't think I changed the theme... although it's possible I changed it to windoze if I made any changes at all. [23:42] Hey, why isnt flash saying its available on firefox, on ubuntu 12.04 [23:42] Pyro_Killer: heh, pass on that option. Too confusing. [23:43] perhaps you need to install the flash installer package ubnoobtu [23:43] CIDR, still here? had company come by, then had to run a couple errands that couldn't wait any longer... back at it now. I changed grub/menu.1st to load /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/md0 and got the same results on boot.. Also tried setting it to /dev/sda1 just in case, same results === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [23:43] abp: you can usually choose from the login screen, cinnamon is quite a new and exciting one [23:43] nurow, I have tried some of the pdf-editors offered in the repos, I found none to really work all that well, in varied circumstances, I think it it depends on the code in the original at times, kinda a tough problem. [23:43] also, how can i get my video card to be recongized by ubuntu? [23:44] ubnoobtu: install the proper driver for it - is the normal way. Using the addational-drivers tool/tab/ [23:44] ubnoobtu, Start with identifying it to the channel with some details. [23:44] Its a Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT [23:44] CIDR, by "same results" i mean it says error: you need to load the kernel first. [23:45] I've downloaded, re-downloaded, confirmed MD5, tried multiple devices (usb flash, sdcard reader, even usb to SATA drive) and no matter when when I try to boot ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64 on an older Dell desktop (P4, 64-bit, EMT, VT extensions so not horribly old) with nVideo card, past BIOS I get a very brief message about starting Kernel then things go black. I never see the Ubuntu splash. [23:45] Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot, what this might be, etc..? [23:45] Hi everybody! [23:45] ubnoobtu, Take a look at Dr_Willis's post as well. [23:45] ubuntulog: so install the nvidia drivers for it. I tend to just install the nvidia-current package for most of mynvidia cards [23:45] oops wrong nick ;) [23:45] wilee-nilee :( I guess I should just use my Windows 7 VM :( [23:45] * Dr_Willis enlarges his fonts === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [23:46] dr_Willis, i've installed it through the tab, but when I go to check it in the details tab it shows unknown, and its running slower than it did before [23:46] nurow, adobe is probably the easiest, if you can afford that plugin, I assume it is a paid option. [23:46] ubnoobtu: you did reboot after installing the drivers? [23:46] Can someboy to response some question? [23:46] Yea [23:46] ivanUltraSuperSu, Tell us your problems with details.

I'm following this guide: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx and I'm waiting in #8 to complete, but it's taking long. Should I expect it to be long?

[23:48] * Dr_Willis wonders what #8 is ;) his phone internet is too slow to look at web sites === new1 is now known as new0 === THE is now known as Guest30834 [23:49] ivanUltraSuperSu: VPN and VNC are 2 differnt things.. [23:49] i would google it, setting up cpn is quite a task [23:49] «long» means I've been waiting for 20 mins for the command to complete, with no other feedback in the Terminal than a blinking prompt. === Guest30834 is now known as Guest30834L [23:49] *vpn [23:49] !vpn [23:49] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [23:49] o.k sorry [23:49] lol i have been installingg apps non stop for hours and have only used 10 gigs :S [23:49] I want to create a vpn with ubuntu [23:49] but I a new user === Guest30834L is now known as LjL [23:50] once you get a vpn setup. i belive you can then vnc to the machines as if they were on the same local network. thats how vpn's work i thought..

[23:50] Anyway, thank you Pyro_Killer :) [23:50] Chardot: it was waiting for you to ask in here... ;) [23:50] Any exemple? [23:50] I've downloaded, re-downloaded, confirmed MD5, tried multiple devices (usb flash, sdcard reader, even usb to SATA drive) and no matter when when I try to boot ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64 on an older Dell desktop (P4, 64-bit, EMT, VT extensions so not horribly old) with nVideo card, past BIOS I get a very brief message about starting Kernel then things go black. I never see the Ubuntu splash. [23:50] Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot, what this might be, etc..? Help? [23:51] Dr_Willis: hhaha [23:51] ok, rebooting... [23:51] Hello. If I want to playback a h264 video (which already works with mplayer) with totem ... what do I need to install? [23:51] !nomodeset | rainabba [23:51] rainabba: 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 [23:51] rainabba: try the minimal installer? one that uses text mode perhaps. could be the refresh rates are getting set wrong [23:51] * l337ingDisorder pokes CIDR in hopes that he's not too far AFK [23:51] rainabba: don't excpect the latest ubuntu to work straight off the bat, such is its nature, use 12.04 instead === xirre is now known as Xirre [23:52] rainabba: try some other disrtos also - see if any of them work properly [23:52] wilee-nilee: Right... but don't I need the menu screen first? [23:52] rainabba, on a live boot the try screen or a install from the grub menu. [23:52] the fact you dont see anything points to a possible refresh rate issue. you Can edit the boot files on a live-usb flash setup and make it use nomodeset by default. but i forget what files need changed [23:52] 12.04 will run on a toaster with an RFID tag, it is amazing [23:53] oi [23:53] Wow. So linux (Ubuntu of all distros) is still a PITA to install/use huh? [23:54] PITA? [23:54] rainabba: i have very few issues [23:54] "very few" [23:54] Thanks [23:54] Pain the posterior [23:54] !totem [23:54] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [23:54] rainabba, Your blaming the distro for your not knowing how to do it. [23:54] rainabba: my monitors would say ' mode/rate not valid' in your case i imagine [23:54] oh well. no loss i guess [23:54] 13.10 still needs work , 12.04 my dog could install [23:55] thats sort of the point of LTS vs non-lts releases. :) a work-in-progress vs a work-horse ;) [23:56] exactly, but in laymans terms, if you want it to work out of the box no hazzles, you choose 12.04, if you wanna muck around and know how to mend stuff that brakes 13.10 is you distro [23:56] I have a radeon hd 6400 series card.. And wondring how I can enable hdmi sound in ubuntu 13.10. [23:56] it's the way it has always been [23:57] on the sound icon choose HDMI as your sound output [23:57] vlt !codecs [23:58] Pyro_Killer, an answer based on dichotomies, but that is the way many reason. [23:58] Pyro_Killer, Im only able to choose "analog stereo output" [23:59] Is there an os program like google desktop search? [23:59] hmm there used to be google desktop for linux. but ive not seen it mentioned in ages.. did they kill the project?
