| hitsujiTMO | prx: i searched http_proxy and the ip, normally if it was some sort of malware, someone would have written about it somewhere | 00:05 |

| mIKEjONES | "trying to overwrite shared 'etc/sane.d/dc240.conf' | 00:45 |
| Anonynimity | could someone please point me to a fix for this? | 00:46 |
| Anonynimity | hello. I just upgraded from ubuntu 13.04 to ubuntu 13.10 and I have no launcher or gnome-indicator. | 00:46 |
| mIKEjONES | how come I can't use apt-get install? | 00:47 |
| mIKEjONES | everytime I try to install something it complains about some package that failed to install | 00:47 |
| Ben64 | mIKEjONES: sounds like you broke stuff | 00:48 |
| mIKEjONES | no, it broke itself | 00:48 |
| mIKEjONES | I tried to apt-get install ia32-libs as I have in the past | 00:48 |
| Ben64 | that doesn't really happen | 00:48 |
| mIKEjONES | except 13.X is broken | 00:48 |
| garcianc | mIKEjONES, can you sudo apt-get update? | 00:48 |
| mIKEjONES | garcianc: yea that work | 00:48 |
| mIKEjONES | works* | 00:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | mIKEjONES: try: sudo apt-get clean | 00:50 |
| mIKEjONES | it works for 5 seconds | 00:51 |
| mIKEjONES | but then it tries to install some other package that broke a while ago | 00:51 |
| mIKEjONES | so I'm trying to apt-get install irssi | 00:51 |
| mIKEjONES | but it's complainigna about libsane:i386 being a dependency to ia32-libs-multiarch | 00:51 |
| Ben64 | pastebin "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | mIKEjONES, Do you have broken packages? | 00:52 |

| Ben64 | thats not what i said : / | 00:55 |
| mIKEjONES | oh | 00:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | mIKEjONES: do what it tells you to do: sudo apt-get -f install | 00:55 |
| Ben64 | mIKEjONES: and using root like that is not recommended | 00:56 |
| mIKEjONES | Ben64: sudo times out kind of weird, I won't like prepending sudo in front of commands when I have to do sysadmining | 00:57 |
| mIKEjONES | I'm sure there is no difference between apt-get running as root or being sudo'd to run as root | 00:57 |
| mIKEjONES | http://pastebin.com/TqmuC3kB | 00:57 |

| dogslob | Installed ubuntu, grub failed. I get a blank screen with a cursor. Help? | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | 00:58 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:58 |
| mIKEjONES | well when I have to run apt-get and edit different files in /, I feel like running as root is recommended | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | that may or may not be a grub failure. grub is hidden by default if ubuntu is the only os installed | 00:58 |
| mIKEjONES | not quite sure what alternatives you would suggest | 00:58 |
| mIKEjONES | maybe chmodding -R 777 / ? | 00:59 |
| Ben64 | sudo. its very easy to use | 00:59 |
| mIKEjONES | yea it is | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | mIKEjONES: you may as well do a reinstall if you are trying stuff like that. | 00:59 |
| mIKEjONES | sudo -s is even simpler | 00:59 |
| genii | Recommended is sudo -i and exit after. | 00:59 |
| Ben64 | genii: no, you almost never need a root shell | 00:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | mIKEjONES: have you run: sudo apt-get -f install | 00:59 |
| dogslob | Can you install Ubuntu without Grub? | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | dogslob: you could install it.. but how would you boot it. | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | dogslob | 01:00 |

| hitsujiTMO | mIKEjONES: are you using a conflicting ppa? | 01:02 |
| mIKEjONES | no | 01:02 |
| garcianc | on the sudo issue, you can try an experiment and sudo vi <some filename>, then save it. Then check the owner of the file. | 01:02 |
| mIKEjONES | this is all vanilla raring | 01:02 |

| SuperLag | mIKEjONES: I'd almost try moving that /etc/sane.d/dc240.conf file an try the operation again. | 01:03 |
| genii | hitsujiTMO: Since they were able to start the install of ia32-libs and it's not in 13.10, then it's coming from somewhere. | 01:03 |
| SuperLag | wilee-nilee: hitsujiTMO: what do you guys think of my suggestion? ^^^ | 01:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | zipper: sudo apt-get install --reinstall | 01:03 |
| mIKEjONES | SuperLag: is there any way to just canel this package from being installed | 01:03 |
| mIKEjONES | apt seems hellbent on installing this package | 01:04 |
| mIKEjONES | like there is no way I make it forget it about it and remove it | 01:04 |
| SuperLag | mIKEjONES: something you requested for install has it as a dependency, so no. | 01:04 |
| mIKEjONES | any invocation of apt now turns into it wanting to install random packages | 01:04 |
| genii | Ah, 13.04, not 13.10, nvm then. | 01:04 |
| mIKEjONES | SuperLag: seriosuly? | 01:04 |
| mIKEjONES | there is no way to remove the package that wants to install this depedency? | 01:05 |
| mIKEjONES | until the dependency is installed? | 01:05 |
| SuperLag | mIKEjONES: but do you know which package it was that required sane in the first place? | 01:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | mIKEjONES: i would go with superlags suggestion and rename the conflicting .conf | 01:05 |

| Dr_Willis | unity can get picky sadly with the 3d drivers. :( not seen any really details of why 3d drivers are working. but unity dont run (well its compiz thts not running) | 02:00 |
| Ari-Yang | Dr_Willis: "3D drivers" == fglrx? | 02:01 |
| === shengyao_afk is now known as shengyao | ||
| Dr_Willis | Ari-Yang: or nvidia for nvidia cards | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | then theres the open sourced drivers that can provide 3d for some cards | 02:03 |
| Ari-Yang | Dr_Willis: but were you referring to fglrx when in previous statement? | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ive even seen the built in intel drivers hve issues. | 02:03 |
| === MobGod_ is now known as MobGod | ||
| exco | Dr_Willis, might be a problem here ... 5 nvidia nvs440 in my box ... | 02:04 |

| NCS_One | hitsujiTMO: a few times | 02:06 |
| smuxi | hitsujiTMO: they are both in the same vmnet, but vmware dhcp server is enabled | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | gabriel: see what delicious.com has bookmarked/tagged the most for linux tutorials also. ;) | 02:06 |
| smuxi | hitsujiTMO: it is enabled because it worked fine yesterday in this way | 02:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | NCS_One: what graphics chipset are you using? | 02:07 |
| smuxi | hitsujiTMO: I only needed to put the interface down, restart the dhcp server and put the interface back to up state | 02:07 |
| smuxi | today is a different response, tho | 02:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | smuxi: wait, did you not say that you were using an ubuntu vm as a dhcp server also? | 02:08 |
| smuxi | yes hitsujiTMO | 02:08 |
| smuxi | hitsujiTMO: I have 1 ubuntu vm as dhcp, but seems that it has issues with the vmware fusion dhcp server | 02:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | smuxi: then you should have vmwares dhcp sever disabled. otherwise you're running into conflicts | 02:09 |

| Crazyzurfer | hey guys.. how do I know if my nvidia 650m driver is installed? --> using ubuntu 13.10 | 02:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crazyzurfer: can you see something on the screen? | 02:16 |
| Crazyzurfer | yes | 02:16 |
| uncle_ben | i have an issue with an older dell dimension 2400, during boot, bios always complains: alert: previous fan failure. the fan works fine...i cleared the system event log and it made no difference. one thing i noticed is the the fan cable has four female connectors, but the mobo fan connector has only three pins...could that have something to do with the error message | 02:17 |
| omnomnOMINOUS | Crazyzurfer, try going to Software & Updates > Additional Drivers? | 02:17 |
| Crazyzurfer | but I've got 2 video cards, and I know one of them is obviously working, but I want to know if the nvidia driver is installed | 02:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crazyzurfer: it's installed ... you can see what drivers are getting loaded in your xorg log ... /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:17 |
| omnomnOMINOUS | I think that should tell you whether a proprietary video card driver is installed. | 02:17 |
| uncle_ben | i got the computer used, so not sure if fan is original, but it works | 02:17 |
| omnomnOMINOUS | If I had chosen "encrypt my home folder" when I installed ubuntu 13.04, and now I want to do a clean install of 13.10 on top of it, without destroying my old data, is that possible? If I choose "encrypt my home folder" again, with the same password, will that be safe? | 02:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crazyzurfer: you might want to have a look at this to get your optimus running: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 02:18 |
| msdw | omnomnOMINOUS: you could try to update from the cd this way it respects your data | 02:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | uncle_ben: sounds like someone replaced it with the wrong type of fan. | 02:20 |
| omnomnOMINOUS | msdw: I want to do a clean install, because my old install was broken. =/ | 02:20 |
| Crazyzurfer | hitsujiTMO: I've got it, because when upgraded to 13.10 I didn't have graphic interface, installed it and then worked... by the way that xorg log doesn't say anything about nvidia | 02:20 |
| msdw | then the safes way is to back up you home and then do fresh install | 02:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crazyzurfer: have you run optirun on anything to test it? | 02:21 |
| Crazyzurfer | omnomnOMINOUS: It doesn't say anything.. it says, there are no aditional drivers | 02:21 |
| Crazyzurfer | hitsujiTMO: nope, how can I do that? | 02:21 |
| uncle_ben | hitsujiTMO, i mean it's not critical...the fan works..i just hit F1 and keep going, but it's kind of annoying | 02:21 |

| hitsujiTMO | Crazyzurfer: install mesa-utils that gives you glxgears. run it from the command line with and without optirun ... if theres a noticable difference in fps then you're good | 02:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crazyzurfer: that looks like a known bug in firefox. try glxgears | 02:25 |
| uncle_ben | donavan01, try sudo lshw (assuming you have that package installed...if not...install it) | 02:26 |
| donavan01 | I tried that and the only thing it says under wlan0 is wireless interface | 02:27 |

| hitsujiTMO | Crazyzurfer: 2 secs, ill see how to turn off the vsync | 02:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crazyzurfer: do you have nvidia settings installed? | 02:30 |
| Crazyzurfer | hitsujiTMO: the only thing I've installed is bumblebee and bumblebee-nvidia, nothing else... should I have it? :) | 02:32 |

| xrandr | wilee-nilee: from the repos, not ppa | 02:40 |
| Crazyzurfer | hitsujiTMO: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." | 02:40 |

| ironcamel | ubuntu-gnome-desktop is installing the entire internet it seems like | 03:12 |
| Dr_Willis | philwdsa: Hmm. I see them for videos. i think theres some max file size config to let nautilus make them. | 03:12 |
| === lanr3fn1_sn3m is now known as Lacon1c | ||
| Dr_Willis | ironcamel: alt-tab in unity uses compiz. and has a lot of settings you can tweak | 03:13 |
| ShayGuy | Dr_Willis: And .config/google-chrome is more than four times the size of the larger of the other two. I think we're on the right track. | 03:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ironcamel: not sure about gnome-shell or the classic mode | 03:13 |
| philwdsa | Dr_Willis: where can this be adjusted? | 03:13 |
| jon1233 | How do I install VLC package from https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/stable-daily onto my windows machine, then move it to Ubuntu machine (no internet) via USB? | 03:13 |
| philwdsa | not sure if its the problem because I have penty of small video files | 03:13 |
| Dr_Willis | philwdsa: I see them for videos by default for local videos. I not for ones over the network shares. | 03:13 |
| msdw | jon1233: why dont you download the code for the vlc and compile it on the linux machine | 03:13 |
| jon1233 | i dont know how | 03:13 |
| jon1233 | someone told me to go to https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/stable-daily and download | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | philwdsa: i notice i DONT see them for .webm videos | 03:14 |
| philwdsa | but for avi you do? | 03:14 |
| odium | Why would playback of a bluray in vlc be effected by using makemkv to copy and decrypt an unrelated bluray iso? | 03:14 |
| msdw | when you download the code it comes with install instructions | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: you will need to also download ALL the dependencies.. that can be a lot of differnt packages | 03:14 |
| === k is now known as Guest24257 | ||
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: most likely the .deb package by itself wont install. it will want other dependencies also | 03:14 |
| jon1233 | :( | 03:15 |
| philwdsa | Dr_Willis: also I will add, I am trying to view the thumbnails on a external hd | 03:15 |
| jon1233 | How do I just make it work | 03:15 |
| msdw | usuali you use comands like ./configure, make, make install | 03:15 |
| philwdsa | but not sure why that would make a difference | 03:15 |
| jon1233 | Is there no easy way to do this? | 03:15 |
| BlackWeb | Just curious I have a HP Laserjet that I have Connected to my machine, Which if my PC has been running for a long period of time it seems like the Printer doesnt communicate with the PC, To where I have to Unplug & Replug the printer back-in in order to print to, Which I've tried doing service cups restart to have it re-spool the printer but it doesnt work, Is there another command I can use, Which seems like I did it before? | 03:15 |
| jon1233 | in windows I just download vlc.exe and put on USB and done | 03:15 |
| jon1233 | ubuntu = ??? | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | philwdsa: external usb hd with videos i get thumbnails here | 03:15 |
| ShayGuy | Dr_Willis: The launcher icon says "Google Chrome (beta)," too -- probably significant. Can I check what process it links to? | 03:15 |
| philwdsa | Dr_Willis: hmm... strange | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: you should connect to the internet and download it with the package manager | 03:15 |
| msdw | jon1233:you can do the deb installation but just download the deendencies | 03:15 |
| jon1233 | I cant no internet adapter on that computer | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: thats how ubuntu is designed to work. | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | run a cable | 03:16 |
| jon1233 | no internet adapter | 03:16 |
| jon1233 | not even place to plug in cable | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | otherwise you are going to spend i imagine several hours at this | 03:16 |
| === lanr3fn1_sn3m is now known as Lacon1c | ||
| jon1233 | so much for ease of use | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | its designed for mondern people who do have internet. | 03:16 |
| jon1233 | windows works fine without internet | 03:16 |
| jon1233 | Is there no big file I can download that contains all the dependencies? | 03:17 |
| msdw | jon1233:hey do you have a smart phone, u can use tether to share the internet | 03:17 |
| jon1233 | One big file that has it all and can auto-install? | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: not that i have EVER seen. | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu has a built in video player.. | 03:17 |
| shan | hey i'm having some trouble with editing my partitions, I have gparted installed and useable as a LiveUSB app, when i boot it, it puts me in a debian desktop where i can use gparted... but i need help, here are my partitions: http://i.imgur.com/qResR5Y.png | 03:18 |
| msdw | jon1233: only conected to the internet you can do the apt-get install vlc | 03:18 |
| jon1233 | I dont have a smartphone | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: or find some ubuntu system that does have networking and use the apt-on-cd tool | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | or even a ubuntu live-usb | 03:18 |
| jon1233 | Is there a way to get the restricted codecs installed? | 03:18 |
| jon1233 | I dont need VLC so much as codecs | 03:18 |
| jon1233 | just any video player that can play most video files | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | codecs might be a single package | 03:18 |
| jon1233 | I downloaded them from that packages.ubuntu.com place | 03:19 |
| jon1233 | restricted-codecs-59.tar.gz | 03:19 |
| === javi is now known as Guest68120 | ||
| Dr_Willis | download everything that looks like you may need the .deb not the tar.gz | 03:19 |
| jon1233 | but it wouldn't load in the software thing in ubuntu | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | .tar.gz would be source code | 03:19 |
| Ari-Yang | jon1233: download the .deb and make sure you have the required dependencies of vlc https://wiki.videolan.org/Contrib_Status/ | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | in most cases | 03:19 |
| Ari-Yang | jon1233: or you can configure https://wiki.videolan.org/Configure/ | 03:19 |
| Ari-Yang | as in compile from source | 03:20 |
| Ari-Yang | good luck | 03:20 |
| msdw | jon1233: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc last i looked - pulled in quite a few dependencies on a normal install of ubuntu | 03:20 |
| jon1233 | There are 20+ | 03:20 |
| jon1233 | i have vlc.deb | 03:20 |
| jon1233 | but it needed dependencies | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | yep ;) | 03:21 |
| jon1233 | is deb file like exe? | 03:21 |
| FoShizz | Hello! | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | a .deb is the package you install | 03:21 |
| jon1233 | so like .msi | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | its NOT an executable.. | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | its like an .apk on android. :) | 03:21 |
| xrandr | I got cinnamon to work | 03:22 |
| FoShizz | What would happen if I typed rm -rf /* on a livecd? Does it wipe the livecd permanently? Or does it wipe the entire computer as well? | 03:22 |
| xrandr | the only way to make it work is via the ppa, not the repos | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | FoShizz: hope you dont have any hard drives mounted to /media/ | 03:22 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest16023 | ||
| FoShizz | If there are harddrives, they all get wiped? | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | FoShizz: and ithink rm -rf/ has a failsafe these days - you need extra optins to do it | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | FoShizz: if they are MOUNTED | 03:22 |
| FoShizz | Is there a quick way to unmount all harddrives? | 03:23 |
| mojtaba | Hi, | 03:23 |
| jon1233 | Is there anyway to install restricted-extras via this http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/u/ubuntu-restricted-extras/ | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | FoShizz: not that ive noticed.. theres differnt ways they can get mounted.. and if they are in use. you might need to force them to unmount | 03:24 |
| jon1233 | Files look too small | 03:24 |
| FoShizz | dang | 03:24 |

| FoShizz | What's a good way to mess with someone who uses a livecd? | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu-restricted-extras is JUST a meta-package jon1233 its job is to pull in the other packages in an easy way | 03:24 |
| FoShizz | Without damaging the acutal hdd? | 03:24 |
| jon1233 | Are the original files available for download that can be transferred on usb? | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: the dependencies for that package are also .debs yopu can download and install. thats how the apt system works | 03:25 |
| jon1233 | have to transfer on usb after | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | foo pulls in bar and fii... you could install bar and fii seperately | 03:25 |
| mojtaba | I am using 13.10 and the clock is just disappeared from the top right of the desktop. Does anybody know what should I do? I searched clock in unity, but it is greyed out. | 03:25 |
| jon1233 | Is there a website that has the restricted-extras .deb files for 13.10 for download alone? | 03:27 |
| Polymorph | Hello | 03:27 |
| Polymorph | I need some help please | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: the ubuntu-restricted-extas is a 'meta pacakge' it has no real content. it just 'depends' on the OTHER .deb packages | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: so install ing it - forces the system to get the other packages. and saves typeing. ;) | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: ubuntu-desktop works the same way | 03:28 |
| jon1233 | Can I get those "other packages" from somewhere? | 03:28 |
| === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded | ||

| FoShizz | from the livecd that is | 03:40 |
| msdw | its a live cd that can be changed any changes you make when you reboot it will be the same | 03:40 |
| FoShizz | oh so you can store data on a livecd? | 03:40 |
| msdw | yes, but make sure that you dont have a mounted partition | 03:41 |
| FoShizz | wait idgi | 03:41 |
| msdw | on the cd no, on a usb yes | 03:41 |
| FoShizz | ok | 03:41 |

| Dr_Willis | jon1233: a live usb with a persistant save file. with 13.10 - you could then install vlc on it.. and get the debs it used | 03:57 |

| xmetal | thats why i like dependencies (in ubuntu-like distros) ... some of the dep's can be the same for many apps ... the "trivial" program itself can be a small download since you do not have to redownload what you already have | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | that site has a search feature | 04:04 |
| xmetal | wow @ room scrolling too fast | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vlc&searchon=names&suite=saucy§ion=all | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/vlc | 04:05 |
| jon1233 | got it thx | 04:05 |
| jon1233 | so if i download every file at http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/vlc | 04:05 |
| jon1233 | it will work? | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | try it and see. thats the ultimate test. I dont do it that way. | 04:05 |

| SPEEDWAVE | i bein to love steam...... | 04:06 |
| jon1233 | i wish there was a .rar that had all those dependencies | 04:06 |
| yaakov|eos | So I get this error whenever I try to upgrade or remove a package. | 04:06 |

| Anonynimity | Hi. Every time I go to login on lightdm, it goes to a console for about half a second then goes back to the login screen. could anyone help me fix this, please? | 04:06 |
| xmetal | honestly i like the package managers since it installs all the dep's i need for me ... other distros are pain sometimes | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | had to clean out my steam cache | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: yep. :) | 04:06 |
| xmetal | after awhile i forget what i was installing the dep's TO INSTALL in the first place | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: sort of the reason all the os's are going to software-market type setups | 04:07 |
| xmetal | lol | 04:07 |
| Guest14124 | no help here :( | 04:07 |
| jon1233 | uhh | 04:07 |
| jon1233 | those dependencies for vlc have other dependencies? | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: they can. | 04:07 |
| anudas | vlc is nicely running | 04:07 |
| jon1233 | that will make for hundreds of files to download | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc is a GUI app.. so it would depend eventually down to what X needs.. and s forth | 04:08 |
| jon1233 | !offline | 04:08 |
| ubottu | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | jon1233: you have a working X system/gui so you Do in fact has a lot of dependencies allready installed | 04:08 |
| xmetal | thats why in ubuntu-like (i dont use ubuntu) distros, i use the package manager and just backup the debs by hand | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Now if you were on a server install.... | 04:08 |
| anudas | apt-get synaptic | 04:08 |
| xmetal | all the dependencies (for that version of the OS) that i need | 04:08 |
| xmetal | !info synaptic | 04:08 |
| ubottu | synaptic (source: synaptic): Graphical package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.80.2 (saucy), package size 2394 kB, installed size 7646 kB | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | since ubuntu is not a rollign release. its easier to archive the .debs :) they dont get out of date as fast | 04:09 |
| woodong50 | !info ubuntu | 04:09 |
| ubottu | Package ubuntu does not exist in saucy | 04:09 |
| anudas | ubuntu software center | 04:10 |
| xmetal | apttocd is good though i just copy and paste debs to a "backup folder" i have and then "copy them" to other PC's running the same OS | 04:10 |
| xmetal | only issue i had is when i had (still do) PC's running Mint 14 and one with Mint 15 ... i made sure not to get the packages "mixed up" | 04:10 |
| xmetal | ubunu would be the same way | 04:10 |

| ShayGuy | Dr_Willis: After some fiddling around in /usr/share/applications/... I've somehow replaced "google-chrome.desktop" with "Google Chrome.desktop" and "Google Chrome (beta).desktop". :( | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ShayGuy: why not just make a script or use the cli to run what ever it is yiu are wanting to run. | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | or make your own 2 seperate launchers in your home | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | one for google chome. one for google-chrome-beta | 04:13 |
| ShayGuy | I don't need two launchers! | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ShayGuy: why do you need 2 browsers then? | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | whats the point of having google chrome and chrome beta both installed? | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | I would expect there to be a launcher for each one | 04:13 |
| ShayGuy | I don't need two browsers either. I don't know why I have chrome-beta at all. | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | we dont know either. | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis | but that seems to be the core of your issue | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis | uninstall them both.. install the one you want to keep perhaps? | 04:14 |
| ShayGuy | That and my computer not believing me when I say I don't want the beta. | 04:14 |
| ShayGuy | Uninstalling seems like a little much. | 04:15 |
| moppy | cannot parse. doesnt want it installed, thinks uninstalling is over the top? | 04:15 |
| ShayGuy | moppy: Please don't get on my case. | 04:16 |
| moppy | it's hard for me to understand what you want, or what you are asking | 04:16 |
| moppy | i don't understand the problem | 04:17 |
| aiwas | hi guyz | 04:17 |
| xmetal | same here | 04:17 |
| ShayGuy | moppy: I think I've got two versions of Chrome, normal and beta. I don't know what beta's doing there. My launcher's pointing to it. It should be pointing to normal. | 04:17 |
| ShayGuy | moppy: And I can't figure out what's going on when I try to fix it. That sum it up? | 04:18 |
| moppy | uninstall the beta one? | 04:18 |
| xmetal | uninstall all packages related to Chrome/Chrome (beta) and reinstall Chrome (alot of times the new release is just labeled as "beta" on Windows) from the package manager ? | 04:18 |
| xmetal | could be misunderstanding the issue, but that is what i'd do | 04:18 |
| xiaopi[z] | any reasons you don't want to use chrome-beta ? | 04:19 |
| moppy | yea it breaks | 04:19 |
| xiaopi[z] | been running for a while never had any issues | 04:19 |
| ShayGuy | And normal Chrome has all my bookmarks, history, extensions, etc. | 04:19 |
| moppy | anyway you either uninsall it, or delete the launcher and pretend it's not there. former is safer | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | if you copied your chrome dataa dir to the beta data dir.. i bet beta woud have them all also.... | 04:20 |
| xmetal | honestly i dont use either but i'd never use google chrome on any OS .. I'd stick with Chromium ... which is what chrome is based on anyway | 04:20 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| moppy | well you can backup your bookmarks or sync them to google, to keep them safe | 04:20 |
| xiaopi[z] | uninstalling it is like 1command like and get your bookmarks/history/extensions from one to another is a simple copy/paste | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | of coruse i think google chrome also has some sort of sync function as well | 04:20 |
| * xmetal agrees with Dr_Willis | 04:20 | |
| Dr_Willis | i got my phone/pc's all synced.. i rarely even hae to install extensions any more on new installs. :) it auto-magically does it | 04:20 |
| xiaopi[z] | and yeah if you have a google account, you sync them and are done with it | 04:21 |
| xmetal | i know Firefox has a good addon FEBE for backing up "everything" profile related and restoring them ... not sure if chrome has something similar | 04:21 |
| xmetal | chrome/chromium | 04:21 |
| moppy | i actually need google chrome on linux for the flash player becuase some people wont stop using flash :) | 04:21 |
| Dr_Willis | firefox can do it without an addon also. | 04:21 |
| moppy | xmetal, it's google, you can bet it saves everything you do :-) | 04:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. i dont have to use google chrome for flash at the sites i visit. | 04:21 |
| xmetal | probably ... i like that addon since it saves to a local folder | 04:21 |
| xiaopi[z] | chromium is doing flash just fine by default | 04:21 |
| xmetal | so i can backup | 04:22 |
| xmetal | true moppy | 04:22 |
| moppy | Dr_Willis, i find performance better in chrome, and some multimedia heavy stuff like games break in firefox | 04:22 |
| ShayGuy | I don't know what's synced and what isn't. I'm pretty sure the data from my last session isn't synced, at least. And in any case, while I appreciate the feedback, I wasn't looking for advice on what browser to use. | 04:22 |
| xmetal | lol | 04:22 |
| ParkerR | So I have been searching for a way to disable "Natural Scrolling" in nautilus. I have checked Preferences and also looked through all the dconf values. Everything that I Google brings up results of people wanting natural scrolling enabled for nautilus. Any ideas? | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | we all know opera is thebest anyway ;) | 04:22 |
| ParkerR | Ubuntu 13.04 | 04:22 |
| xmetal | i never had (even when i was on high speed) Chrome do good on either of my laptops | 04:22 |
| xiaopi[z] | is are last version of opera? | 04:22 |
| xmetal | (i am going to say Chrome, but i mean Chrome-like browsers) | 04:22 |
| xiaopi[z] | how* | 04:22 |
| xmetal | Opera = under-rated browser IMHO | 04:23 |
| xmetal | i like Firefox, but Opera is not bad | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | i tend to just use firefox these days. but do have all the main browsers installed. | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | but most of my websurfing is from a tablet ;) | 04:23 |
| moppy | 4od doesnt work either: it's a TV channel, they use some weird DRM in their flash that only google chrome seems to play | 04:23 |
| xmetal | i have alot of browsers installed to "test my site" | 04:23 |
| xiaopi[z] | firefox is just becoming a slow hog, and opera just got passed by chrome for so many things imo | 04:23 |
| xmetal | but for regular browsing i use FF | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | moppy: omgubuntu or webupd8 had an artical today on getting 4od working | 04:23 |
| yaakov|eos | I can't install, upgrade, or remove any packages. Whenever I try, I get this error: http://pastebin.com/u3iGLfvv Help if you can. | 04:24 |
| Dr_Willis | moppy: i dont even recall ever hearing of the site untill today | 04:24 |
| ShayGuy | Urgh... | 04:24 |
| moppy | Dr_Willis, cool, will check it. it's a UK TV channel | 04:24 |
| Dr_Willis | moppy: some special HAL package is needed to get it workling it seems. same for amazon prime | 04:24 |
| === mrapple is now known as MonsieurApple | ||
| moppy | what?HAL was depreciated how many years ago? | 04:24 |
| === MonsieurApple is now known as mrapple | ||
| Dr_Willis | moppy: tell it to the flash demanding sites | 04:24 |
| ShayGuy | OK, I've got Synaptic open, and there are packages called google-chrome-stable, google-chrome-beta, and google-chrome-unstable. | 04:25 |
| ParkerR | Its still used in some DRM cases for some odd reason | 04:25 |
| msdw | anyone knows about a security channel | 04:25 |
| Dr_Willis | ShayGuy: i recall having to delete my ~/.macromedia/ after installing that pacched hal package also to get amazon prime working | 04:25 |
| moppy | ShayGuy, wait the first thing you will do is backup EVERYTHING iny our browser. bookmarks, plugins etc | 04:25 |
| ShayGuy | I seriously hope removing one of these won't erase my Chrome data. | 04:25 |
| ShayGuy | But, backup, yeah? | 04:26 |
| ParkerR | ShayGuy, They wont | 04:26 |
| ParkerR | The data is in ~/.config/ | 04:26 |
| * xmetal agrees with moppy | 04:26 | |
| Dr_Willis | when in doubt... backup | 04:27 |
| moppy | i think ParkerR is probably right but better safe than sorry | 04:27 |
| xmetal | hmm (i dont know) but in Linux is it in the home directory? | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | package manger tools should not be touching tuff in your user/home/whatver we mentined this earlier | 04:27 |
| ShayGuy | I can't fathom what motivates you all to put up with people like me. | 04:27 |
| xmetal | its a good idea to backup anyway .. "just in case" | 04:27 |
| mukti_ | If I had a server, and its sole purpose was to act as a file server that had directories that could be mounted on other systems, what would that be called? An NFS server? | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | mukti_: network atatched storage. :) perhaps | 04:28 |
| moppy | sometimes you find the backed up data is keyed to some unique id that's lost on reinstall. a friend of mine had that happen | 04:28 |
| xmetal | :) as long as you dont say "I am going with Windows 8", we have no problem helping | 04:28 |
| xmetal | :P | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | mukti_: it culd be running ssh, or samba not nfs. | 04:28 |
| msdw | mukti: yes it is | 04:28 |
| moppy | outlook express on windows did that a lot. once you reinstalled windows, it wouldnt open your backup | 04:29 |
| moppy | because different user id | 04:29 |
| sam113101 | is /home/myuser/bin supposed to be in my path by default? | 04:29 |
| mukti_ | Nice, thanks. I have Samba servers, but I only use Samba so I can access files on my Windows boxes. I'm just trying to implement shared storage on a few servers now. Thanks! | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: if it exists when you login, the bash init scripts add it to your path | 04:30 |
| === lazers is now known as lasers | ||
| ShayGuy | OK, I've copied ~/.config/google-chrome to another directory. | 04:31 |
| ParkerR | Every result is either "How to enable natural scrolling in Ubuntu" or a bug report about nautilus not natural scrolling. https://www.google.com/#q=nautilus+13.04+disable+natural+scrolling I can't be the only one who doesn't like the reversed scrolling | 04:34 |

| Dr_Willis | Dispatch: you are useing the Unity desktop? a newly made user does or does not work? | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | 'sudo adduser testuser' and see if testuser works | 05:21 |

| Dispatch | doesn't work Dr_Willis | 05:23 |
| Dispatch | Dr_Willis, do you have teamviewer? | 05:25 |
| Dispatch | if so, would you take a look for me? | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | if a newly made user does not work. that points to a driver isue with the unity desktop | 05:27 |
| Dispatch | great | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | a dirty work around - install a differnt desktop like Lubuntu. that dosent use the 3d stuff | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop' and select lubuntu at the login screen/gear icon | 05:28 |
| Dispatch | ok.... um... what about reinstalling xorg? | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | reinstalling stuff rarely 'fixs' things i find. theres a reason its acting that way. could be a bug with the updated drivers, or kernel. or somthing. ive never seen a definitive reason. | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | what Is your video chipset? | 05:29 |

| Dr_Willis | sounds like ther may be some very deep problems going on | 05:33 |
| Dispatch | the cli Dr_Willis | 05:33 |
| Dispatch | upon login | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | that is weird. so you cant even login at teh console? | 05:33 |

| Dr_Willis | to compare | 05:34 |
| Dispatch | Dr_Willis would you take a look for me, please? | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | look at what? i really dont have any more ideas. | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | install a differnt desktop and see if that works.. would be the next thing i would try. If that also fails. theres somthing seriously wrong | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install jwm, thats the most basic window manager in the repos. and select it at the lightdm login screen. see if that one works. | 05:43 |
| Dispatch | I did try a different desktop but lightdm didn't like it | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | the lightdm login screen works. that shows that X is working. | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | what desktop did you try? | 05:43 |
| Dispatch | gnome, lxde, xfce, ubuntu, gnome classic (no effects), | 05:44 |

| SPEEDWAVE | guys can i still partition by hard drive while in ubuntu 12.04 using gparted? | 05:45 |
| === theinova is now known as inova | ||
| anudas | qparted working | 05:46 |
| aeon-ltd | SPEEDWAVE: you should be able to manipulate all areas but the partition you are booted to (can't unmount it) | 05:47 |
| === inova is now known as theinova | ||
| aeon-ltd | SPEEDWAVE: for safety reasons using livecd is the most ideal though | 05:47 |
| SPEEDWAVE | aeon-ltd, is there any other way to partition it i already installed ubuntu 12.04, i just forgot to partition it... | 05:48 |
| Dispatch | xubuntu was removed @ Dr_Willis.... | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Dispatch: and the same happens for a newly made user also correct? | 05:48 |
| Dispatch | ?? | 05:48 |
| Dispatch | that's correct Dr_Willis | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | does your /etc/profile file look normal? can you read it? | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | that message you posted eralier - may be a sign of some config issue | 05:50 |
| aeon-ltd | SPEEDWAVE: if you already installed it, then you have the livecd you used | 05:50 |

| Dr_Willis | look for any export lines that have a space in front of the = | 05:52 |
| aeon-ltd | SPEEDWAVE: explain in more detail what you want achieve | 05:52 |
| Dispatch | could that be what's causing it? second line from the bottom? | 05:52 |
| Dr_Willis | that error could be comming from your .profile or .bashrc also | 05:53 |
| Dispatch | where is .bashrc located? | 05:53 |
| SPEEDWAVE | aeon-ltd, i want to partition my hd one is for ubuntu and the other one is for backup file | 05:53 |

| Dr_Willis | the space in front of the = is a common error it seems | 05:54 |
| Dispatch | okay | 05:54 |
| milamber | hispeed67: nope, if you want the standard desktop: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 05:55 |

| Dr_Willis | Dispatch: your export message - imples that theres some export line thats invalid in one of your startup scripts. | 06:00 |
| aeon-ltd | SPEEDWAVE: use a live cd, shrink it there then create the partitino you want | 06:00 |
| anudas | dispatch: whats going on? | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | that could be causing the users to fail to get a valid shell/starts I guess.. | 06:00 |

| SPEEDWAVE | hispeed67, atleast 100 gb for my file | 06:01 |

| Dispatch | thanks guys for all of your help... I finally fixed the issue. | 06:13 |
| hispeed67 | Dispatch: what was iot? | 06:14 |
| Dispatch | I had to purge a couple things, and re-install them | 06:14 |
| Dispatch | my lightdm wouldn't let me login just kept giving me a login loop (for lack of better words) | 06:14 |
| Dispatch | so I purged lightdm and reinstalled the necessary packages. | 06:14 |
| milamber | hispeed67: when the machine reinstalls let the channel know some more specifics of the issue. . . is it not recognizing the card at all? and how do you know? | 06:15 |

| cfhowlett | SPEEDWAVE, gparted won't partition a mounted system. Logout and reboot with your ubuntu USB then partition | 06:25 |
| hispeed67 | SPEEDWAVE: gparted should allow you to shrink sda1, run swapoff to turn off swap, delete sda5 and sda3. after shrinking sda1 to what you want (if you paste df results i could reccomend a size for sda1) then, create an sda2 drive for your /home partition. | 06:25 |
| SPEEDWAVE | cfhowlett, ok but my ubuntu 12.04 remains when i do the partitioning | 06:25 |

| hispeed67 | makara: or, am i incorrect? | 06:44 |
| hispeed67 | the windows machine needs an X-server proggy | 06:44 |
| yaakov|eos | I honestly don't know what to do. I've googled for hours. | 06:44 |
| makara | i don't know. what's the app? | 06:45 |
| DeluxGhost | how to display chinese in ubuntu tty? | 06:45 |
| makara | Bauer, do you want to interact with the app as a GUI, or just launch it and send it arguments / run it as a daemon, etc | 06:45 |
| hispeed67 | it's a GUI app.. | 06:46 |
| Bauer | makara: well its not in /bin - I am trying to launch the installed teamviewer app I have, forgot to start it before leaving the house | 06:46 |
| yaakov|eos | Anyways, I think it has to deal with my filesystem experiencing errors due to a hardware issue a week ago. | 06:46 |
| hispeed67 | ok, 12.04 server, installed, installed ubuntu-desktop, will it still boot into text mode? | 06:46 |

| Ben64 | !info gpm precise | hispeed67 | 06:49 |

| hispeed67 | nice.. | 06:49 |
| makara | Bauer, either way, you need to find the teamviewer executable. Try all the /usr/bin | 06:50 |
| makara | Bauer, search for it `locate -i *teamviewer*` | 06:50 |
| Ben64 | why not "which teamviewer" | 06:51 |
| hispeed67 | find -iname *teamviewer* -print | 06:51 |
| Bauer | makara: there is no normal executable, it is installed in /opt/teamviewer8 and it is a bunch of bash scripts, which dont work if I try from command line | 06:52 |
| Ben64 | which is why you should use something better than teamviewer :) | 06:52 |
| Bauer | Ben64: there is nothing more user friendly and quick to use :P | 06:52 |
| Ben64 | this isn't seeming very user friendly | 06:53 |
| Ben64 | while vnc "just works" | 06:53 |

| Ben64 | leif_: there is #ubuntu-server , but its for ubuntu server only, no other distros | 07:17 |

| Patterson[FR] | @ben : question sloved ! | 07:18 |
| Patterson[FR] | * solved | 07:18 |

| cm13g09 | heh, true | 09:28 |
| Ben64 | anything in /lost+found/ ? | 09:28 |

| Ben64 | any info from logs after the login screen reappears? | 09:28 |
| sunson | I'm about to write a simple program which will make a request to _active_tasks and if a given host must be pulled out of replication, it will make appropriate calls to stop replication (and vice-versa to start replication). Otherwise, it will monitor the number and log. The output of this daemon can be monitored. | 09:29 |

| k1l_ | !ubuntutweak | pogiako | 09:45 |
| ubottu | pogiako: Ubuntu Tweak is a tool that automates some things; however, it is potentially dangerous, and an informal review of its code is pending. Most of the things it does can be done by the use of other tools. Please don't ask for or provide support for it in Ubuntu support channels. | 09:45 |
| pogiako | oo | 09:46 |

| dhanyaraj | I am really new to contribution. Can anyone tell me what is the next step after you commit the file (file in which you found the bug and you made the necessary changes) ???? | 10:31 |

| ActionParsnip | jasic_: permit for what? | 10:43 |
| petterroea | What do you mean | 10:44 |
| cer | hi guys I am trying to recompiled the kernel to solve a problem onn one of my machines .... but all the instructions I found online are contradictory and do not work | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !kernel | cer | 10:44 |
| ubottu | cer: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 10:44 |
| jasic_ | I heard that to keep an distro with *Buntu (Remastered fork) we should get permit from Cannonical | 10:45 |
| cer | ActionParsnip: yesterday after something like 7 hours of compilation following instructions the compilation failed with a ridiculous error .... have those instructions been update to the last kernel!? | 10:45 |
| k1l_ | jasic_: yes | 10:45 |
| jasic_ | k1l_: is it necessary? | 10:45 |
| k1l_ | yes it is, jasic_ | 10:46 |

| kindle | I know. | 10:52 |
| jasic_ | ActionParsnip: You mean we can keep our OS name Obuntu also or not??? should we take permit with cannonical? | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | kindle: its one of the founding ideals of the OS, and is why the OS is where it is today. So telling people to 'not do it' makes no sense at all | 10:53 |
| k1l_ | jasic_: see the link i gave you. it explaines alot and give informations on how to contact | 10:53 |

| Ben64 | why not just install both KDE and Unity? | 10:59 |
| wylde | excognac, why not nstall one and add the other desktop environment? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | excognac: separate /home doesn't influence the ability for multiple DEs | 11:00 |
| excognac | wylde: cos I'm gonna work on this machine, i go for stability or it doesn't really matters now? | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | excognac: it doesnt make a difference, you just choose the session at login | 11:01 |
| wylde | excognac, ^^ what ActionParsnip said | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | excognac: how would it affect stability? | 11:01 |
| zokko | uhm | 11:02 |
| excognac | ActionParsnip: ah ok, so i can even try out easy xubuntu too. Well, when i started to use ubuntu 9.04 it was i think, everbody adviced me to make separate installations to make sure i have a stable system | 11:02 |
| MonkeyDust | excognac separate /home is easier to reinstall / upgrade... does not affect stability | 11:03 |
| MacroMan | If I run 'sudo shutdown 11:30' for example, then exit terminal, it cancels the shutdown. How can I set a shutdown and close the terminal to leave the shutdown timer in place? | 11:07 |

| MacroMan | MonkeyDust, Just 'screen' from terminal? | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | MacroMan yes | 11:08 |
| MacroMan | OK, thanks. I'll give it a try | 11:08 |
| excognac | thanks all for advices. as i'm most comfortable with kde, sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends unity-desktop will install that environment, right? | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | MacroMan: try using the at scheduler | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | MacroMan: sudo at 11:30 type: shutdown -h now then press CTRL+D | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | MacroMan: atd is a service so will not die when you close the terminal | 11:13 |
| cer | excognac: mmmm .... no, if you want to use kde .... you should do apt-get install kde-standard or apt-get install kde-plasma-dekstop | 11:14 |
| MacroMan | ActionParsnip, Thanks for the advice. I only really need to do this once in a blue moon. I've just tried screen and it seems to work OK. | 11:14 |
| cer | excognac: if you would like to install everything then apt-get install kde-full | 11:15 |
| MacroMan | ActionParsnip, Actually, that at scheduler seems quite good. I'll give it a try | 11:15 |
| cer | excognac: if you are a just starting, do "sudo apt-get install kde-full" so you do not have to play around with installtion later. | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | MacroMan: its dead handly, like cron but a single shot command | 11:16 |
| excognac | cer: sorry, I must have been unclear: I'll install kubuntu, then to get unity, I supposed to do what i wrote? sorry but i'm totally not confident enough with Unity to go for it straight | 11:17 |
| cer | excognac: "sudo apt-get install unity" | 11:18 |

| cer | anyone who had recompiled the 3.11 kernel on 13.10 recently? | 11:22 |

| sam_ | ActionParsnip, got you. Thanks. Nothing obvious though.. | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sam_: so why were you not hitting TAB...like I said? | 11:23 |
| sam_ | ActionParsnip, I am now | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sam_: but why not earlier? | 11:24 |

| sam_ | ActionParsnip, Suspend etc settings whilst using LXDE desktop | 11:24 |

| merlin1978 | How to install IMAP libraries in Ubuntu? I have already ran this command "apt-get install php5-imap" but still I could not be detected | 12:12 |
| merlin1978 | Did I miss something | 12:12 |
| merlin1978 | ? | 12:12 |
| lotuspsychje | !imap | merlin1978 | 12:12 |
| ubottu | merlin1978: IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol | 12:12 |
| merlin1978 | lotuspsychje : thanks | 12:13 |
| lotuspsychje | !info php5-imap | 12:14 |

| charlie | What is the best way to install Brother drivers? | 12:17 |
| charlie | that is drivers for a Brother multifunctional device? | 12:18 |
| lotuspsychje | cer: was just looking up the package | 12:18 |
| === karlo is now known as karlo|afk | ||
| cer | charlie: best way is the Brotehr website, they have dedicated drivers for ubuntu and very good instructions | 12:18 |
| _root_ | hello | 12:19 |
| _root_ | is it possible to compile spicial kernel in ubuntu? | 12:19 |
| cer | charlie: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html | 12:19 |
| lotuspsychje | !kernel | _root_ | 12:19 |
| ubottu | _root_: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 12:19 |
| cer | charlie: this is the link to their suppor page | 12:19 |
| charlie | cer: I've heard that Ubuntu has drivers which works betters than native Brother's ones, but I don't remember how the driver is called. | 12:19 |
| cer | charlie: nope, believe me, I amdinister brother printers .... http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html | 12:20 |
| lotuspsychje | charlie: apt-cache search brother | 12:20 |
| cer | charlie: this is where you get the specific driver for your multifunctional printer or device .... remember to install sane-utiles first | 12:20 |
| cer | charlie: sudo apt-get install sane-utils | 12:20 |
| cer | charlie: the drivers in the reposotory are actually brother drivers repackaged afaik | 12:22 |
| _root_ | lotuspsychje, no i want to use a kernel for virtualization; specifically VMWARE ESXI | 12:22 |
| tarelerulz | Can you watch dvd out of the box with Ubuntu 13.10? That took some doing before. | 12:23 |
| cer | tarelerulz: nope you have to install libdvdcss2 | 12:24 |
| === _Sieb is now known as Sieb | ||
| cer | tarelerulz: to do so you have first to install liddvdread4 from the main repository (sudo apt-get install libdvdread4) | 12:25 |
| cer | tarelerulz: then you have to run the command inside the package manually | 12:25 |
| dv-_ | that's only for encrypted dvds isn't it? | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !dvd | 12:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 12:26 |
| cer | tarelerulz: so you have to run the command "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" | 12:27 |
| dv-_ | so it does play dvds out of the box | 12:27 |
| cer | tarelerulz: which will take care of installing it for you. | 12:27 |
| cer | dv-_: well, if you only have UNENCRYPTED dvds .... not many really! | 12:27 |
| === trench_ is now known as trench | ||
| tarelerulz | What program can read the dvd after you run that script? | 12:31 |
| cer | tarelerulz: dragonplayer, or if you prefer you can install vlc | 12:31 |
| cer | tarelerulz: or mplayer, of xmbc .... there are so many! | 12:32 |
| OerHeks | tarelerulz, any mediaplayer that supports dvd | 12:32 |
| cer | tarelerulz: I would chose vlc, it is the best / most complete .... "sudo apt-get install vlc" | 12:32 |
| Fudus | vlc or smplayer, vlc if you want menus | 12:32 |
| cer | tarelerulz: it allows you remote controls and so on .... it is the most complete, I always use it .... ever if I like a lot xmbc, it is more taxing on resources. Chose vlc! | 12:33 |
| tarelerulz | I took the tour of Ubuntu and it said DVDs. If you can't play dvd out of the box why do they says dvds | 12:33 |
| Fudus | (unencrypted dvd) | 12:33 |
| cer | tarelerulz: becaue you can play UNENCRYPTED DVDs | 12:33 |
| cer | tarelerulz: it does not say ENCRYPTED DVDs | 12:33 |
| tarelerulz | That is misleading , Who has note encrypted dvd. Not like your going to go to the red box and grab a dvd and start playing it. | 12:34 |
| AntelopeSalad | i have to setup password-less sudo for a certain upstart task, what would the path be to that task? | 12:34 |
| cer | tarelerulz: I have several .... for example, momentum production produces lot of DVDs of cinema d'essay that are not encrypted | 12:35 |
| cer | tarelerulz: most training DVDs are not exncrypted | 12:36 |
| cer | tarelerulz: and playing encrpted DVDs is very simple: just do what I told you, it is ONE command. | 12:36 |

| charpandnl | does someone know a quick tut/example on creating a cli bootable install disk with Ubuntu to Ubuntu? | 13:41 |
| minimec | cntrational: Ok. What I see is that you are running on 'Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe' as OpenGL renderer. That means that you have only software composite available for the Window manager. Unity is probably not the best solution for you. I would 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop', logout and use lubuntu as Xsession once. I think that will work much snappier. | 13:41 |
| squaredj | do you want it on flash or cd | 13:42 |
| charpandnl | flash | 13:42 |

| Kaco | someone about to get banned soon :) | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Lynxx: depends on your opinion of cool | 14:28 |
| Lynxx | ActionParsnip, someone showed me one a long time ago | 14:29 |
| Lynxx | it was really cool looking, wasnt kde or gnome | 14:29 |
| Lynxx | or that mouse one... | 14:29 |
| k1l_ | Lynxx: o_O | 14:29 |
| CoolApps | Like the WPA Supplicant and Ubuntu 13.04 crashing... | 14:29 |
| CoolApps | Strange bugs... | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Lynxx: compiz does all the redundant animation stuff, you can run it ontop of any DE you like | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Lynxx: xfce has a mouse as its mascot | 14:29 |
| CoolApps | I mean on all my PCs I always had a Ubuntu crash. | 14:29 |
| anudas | again, i must increase space for ubuntu :-) | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | CoolApps: every OS crashes dude | 14:30 |
| CoolApps | Like the crash "Ubuntu 12.04 has unfortunately stopped". | 14:30 |
| Lynxx | i never had ubuntu crash and i've ran it on some cruddy hardware | 14:30 |
| Ari-Yang | CoolApps: this is a support channel. By the looks of it you haven't asked for support, just stating old crashes you've had. | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | CoolApps: does it keep going? | 14:30 |
| bgardner | BenB: Ideally, you want to tell dhclient not to do that. Alternatively, have you tried: chmod -r /etc/resolv.conf ? | 14:31 |
| CoolApps | I know but the point is that it keeps on crashing too often. -Action | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CoolApps: try LXDE or XFCE :) | 14:31 |
| CoolApps | Yes. -Action | 14:31 |
| okay19 | Does the Ubuntu installer automatically set the mount point of the EFI system partition when using 'something else'? | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CoolApps: press TAB to complete my nick ;) | 14:31 |
| CoolApps | I mean that is not just Unity which is the issue ActionParsnip | 14:32 |
| Lynxx | oh i got a question.. is there any terminal command i can use that will delete all old files that arent needed by the system | 14:32 |
| CoolApps | Nice, thanks. -ActionParsnip | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | CoolApps: have you tested your RAM using Memtest86+ in Grub?> | 14:32 |
| k1l_ | Lynxx: no | 14:33 |
| k1l_ | Lynxx: you could run apt-get autoremove and apt-get autoclean | 14:33 |
| CoolApps | I am currently using a netbook so maybe that could be the issue. -ActionParsnip | 14:33 |
| Lynxx | oh yea thats what im looking for | 14:33 |
| Lynxx | ty k1 | 14:33 |
| anudas | Lynxx, i know some commands | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | CoolApps: worth a try, just to rule it out | 14:34 |
| BenB | right, but HOW? <bgardner> BenB: Ideally, you want to tell dhclient not to do that. | 14:34 |
| CoolApps | Not really but I think I know why -ActionParsnip | 14:34 |
| k1l_ | Lynxx: you could remove old kernel and header packages. | 14:34 |
| Lynxx | oh | 14:34 |
| Lynxx | how would i do that | 14:34 |
| bgardner | BenB: Still reading docs, I haven't modified dhclient in a while. Give me a minute. | 14:34 |
| k1l_ | Lynxx: see which kernels are installed and remove the old "linux-image-....." and "linux-header.." packages | 14:35 |
| CoolApps | Mmmmm but it will take too long to boot up which gets irritating, I mean that it is not much of a bother but I guess | 14:36 |

| utusan | and wish you luck | 21:50 |
| _root_ | hitsujiTMO, i guess i am; is there any other way? one side is my ubuntu under vmware esxi and the other side is my domain and its panel | 21:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | _root_: to be honest, if you're asking that question then you really should not be creating your own name server. It's a particularly difficult job to get right. for what particular reason do you want to create your own and not use a provided name server? | 21:52 |
| Gallomimia | even chuck norris uses a decent provider's domain name server... | 21:53 |
| _root_ | hitsujiTMO, it is a VPS not a hosting; there is no name server; i should manage that server | 21:53 |
| kindle | Wait. What? | 21:53 |
| * schultza agress with kindle | 21:54 | |
| kindle | All Chuck Norris does is advertise exercise machines. | 21:54 |
| apricots | i did a bad thing... i did dd if=some.iso of=/dev/sdh where /dev/sdh was my precious, and /dev/sdg was my thumb drive (the intended target). how can I retrieve my stuff (as much as possible from the overwritten device, /dev/sdh? | 21:54 |
| Gallomimia | well if a provider's dns is good enough for chuck norris it can work out for _root_ too. | 21:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | _root_, whoever you have gotten your domain from should have provided you with a domain server, you can add entries there to point to your ever. | 21:54 |
| utusan | maybe he is jackie chan | 21:54 |
| bekks | apricots: You cant. Restore your backup, thats all you can do. | 21:55 |

| bekks | kindle: Chuck Norris devides the load by infinity. ;) | 21:55 |
| apricots | the /dev/sdh contained my backups | 21:55 |
| Gallomimia | apricots: if you haven't overwritten the full drive try... some form of disk recover? | 21:55 |
| Gallomimia | that's not a backup >< | 21:55 |
| bekks | apricots: Then you still have your backups - or did you overwrite sdg and sdh? | 21:55 |
| schultza | apricots: always make two backups... one available nearby, another in another location | 21:56 |
| _root_ | hitsujiTMO, So you say i should get the name server from my domain provider and set it in my VPS? | 21:56 |
| utusan | Ubnoobtu: dpkg -i pkg.deb | 21:56 |
| Ubnoobtu | cool, thanks | 21:56 |
| apricots | i think i only overwrote the first 1G and it's a 120GB drive. i tried digger and testdisk and foremost, but they seem to rely on knowing what the original file system was. should i repartition the disk? | 21:56 |
| _root_ | hitsujiTMO, and that DNS should come with domain? i thought it should come with VPS | 21:56 |
| schultza | _root_: is this a private domain (no one outside is going to access to)? or what are you planning to do with this vps? | 21:56 |
| _root_ | right? which is it? | 21:57 |
| bekks | apricots: If you want to kill it even more. Create a full image using dd and try your recovery on the image. | 21:57 |
| Gallomimia | _root_: you should have your domain already hosted at a provider, and point your subdomain to the ip corresponding to your vps. | 21:57 |
| Gallomimia | you do have a separate ip for your vps right? | 21:57 |
| _root_ | schultza, it is .ru domain | 21:57 |
| apricots | yeah did create an image for messing with | 21:57 |
| bekks | apricots: Of the entire 120G? | 21:57 |
| apricots | yep | 21:57 |
| schultza | so it is publicly accessible. | 21:57 |
| _root_ | Gallomimia, i use Virtual server Unmanaged; | 21:57 |
| _root_ | Gallomimia, yes one valid ip for VPs | 21:58 |
| Gallomimia | thanks for that. no information whatsoever has been given about your setup | 21:58 |
| schultza | _root_: do you already have a name server hosting this domain for you | 21:58 |
| bekks | apricots: Then create a copy, so you can revert to a "original" image in case you mess it up while recovering. | 21:58 |
| _root_ | Gallomimia, an ubuntu server vmware esxi one valid ip | 21:59 |
| Gallomimia | hosted on what? | 21:59 |
| bekks | Gallomimia: ESXi. | 21:59 |
| apricots | yeah done that. i got the original drive in its messed up state, an image of it on another disk in that state and a copy of that to mess with | 21:59 |
| Gallomimia | where's the hardware | 21:59 |

| kindle | I'd just clean install. Ubuntu upgrades have screwed me in the past. | 22:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | _root_, i believe you are confusing what normally happens in a shared hosting environment, where you normally use the shared hosts managed name server, as they use this to ensure ns entries match with that of the hosting environment. In your case, all you have to do is manually specify A names from the domain registrars name server to your servers IP. | 22:01 |

| Guest2376 | msdw: could it be something with my sources.list | 22:05 |
| msdw | Guest2376: try upgrading from usb or cd | 22:06 |
| Guest2376 | msdw: i have tried that befor but do not see the option to update/upgrade an existing version just to install over | 22:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | _root_: in that panel should be where they allow you to manually enter dns entries. Just make your A names point to your VPS IP. If the VPS provider gave you an IP for a nameserver then something is terribly wrong there, as you're supposed to specify domains for nameservers, not IPs. This also is not an Ubuntu support scenario so I'm going to finish this here and ask you to read up on how name servers work. | 22:08 |
| Guest2376 | so can i go from 12.10 to 14.04 from the cd | 22:08 |
| msdw | Guest2376: are you booting from the cd | 22:08 |
| bekks | Guest2376: No you cant. You have to update to 13.04 to 13.10 to 14.04 (in april next year). Just use 12.04 so you can directly update to 14.04 | 22:09 |
| apricots | ok cool it looks like it was a single ext4 fs | 22:09 |
| apricots | but my .img is of the whole disk, i can create a loop with losetup /dev/loop0 ~/foo.img, but how do i make a loop for the first *partition* within the .img and not the whole disk? | 22:10 |
| dash_ | Is it generally safe to go from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS? | 22:10 |
| Guest2376 | bekks: today i got an update notice to update to 14.04 but when i tried i was told that the version that i was upgrading from was not compatible | 22:11 |
| apricots | uh nv. i should read the man page | 22:12 |

| fishduck | is "Signed Ubuntu Code of Conduct:" worth anything in launchpad? Does it mean that it's safe? | 22:35 |
| k1l | Guest2376: yes. you should consider to update to 13.04 and then to 13.10 since you cant stay long on 12.10. if you want to stay longer on versions you should consider installing the LTS versions (12.04) | 22:35 |
| Guest2376 | kindle: yep shure do | 22:35 |
| Guest2376 | kindle: or just change update notification to ltf from every :-) | 22:36 |
| k1l | Guest2376: you cant update from 12.10 to anything other than 13.04 | 22:37 |
| k1l | you can only update from 12.04 to 14.04 because its the LTS to LTS update. but for all other releases you need to update every time | 22:38 |

| k1l | fishduck: if you want to install PPAs and are unsure how trustworthy that is: look up who runs that PPA. often its run by developers of that software so it can be considered safe, in the meaning of not malicious. but it could still make some problems when it comes to depencies | 22:42 |
| fishduck | k1l: it's run by strangers in this case. If I upgrade ubuntu, will I get newer versions of git? | 22:44 |
| utusan | fishduck: if you are not sure then don't use it. | 22:44 |
| utusan | yes if you added to your apt repo, and if there is a newer candidate | 22:46 |
| fishduck | I mean, if I update my current ubuntu version, will the repo be more updated than it is now? It's like 30 versions behind for whatever you use. Sometimes even 5 years old. | 22:47 |
| utusan | depens on hgow you added it. not sure if ubuntu upgrade changes what's in the sources.list.d folder | 22:49 |
| utusan | or if the ppa has the newer version as well | 22:50 |

| fishduck | hatori: perhaps you want to make sure you computer(=bridge?) has all the connections.. and then you use some simple bridging technique. Perhaps you even need to set up a DHCP server. Actually, I don't know what you're doing so I can't relly help you. | 22:57 |

| DoYouKnow | I need like an x screen pool | 23:03 |
| dn5 | @DoYouKnow declare your configuration and what excatly do you mean | 23:03 |
| fishduck | hatori: sorry, routing tables. It's well integrated in the core of linux I suppose. So all you need is for the connections to work, regardless of their protocols/NICs into the bridge.. and the route them around as you like. But you will need some software to handle the incoming ppp0 connections since I don't beleive that it's a part of the linux kernel. Same with DHCP, you need software for that too. | 23:03 |
| DoYouKnow | dn5, I realized mid-typing that that I'm not running ubuntu | 23:04 |

| HootieMcDude | If you have unallocated disc space, how do you tell the harddrive to use it? I've got gparted but allocating it doesn't actually mkae it available. | 23:06 |
| moppy | HootieMcDude, mount it, use the default discs app in unity | 23:07 |
| moppy | HootieMcDude, it's a bit easier than gparted | 23:07 |
| dn5 | HootieMcDude you need to mount the disk after allocating it and other operations you've done | 23:07 |
| HootieMcDude | moppy: Server edition. No GUI | 23:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | HootieMcDude: you first need to create a partition and format it ... which can be done in gparted ... they you need to mount it with: sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/point | 23:07 |
| dn5 | Right click on allocated space and there is option to mount the disc, that way it should show as filesystem | 23:08 |
| HootieMcDude | So...there's no way to extend a Filesystem that already exists? | 23:08 |
| moppy | HootieMcDude, use the mount command then: "man mount". put it in etc/fstab if you want it to automount on boot | 23:08 |
| HootieMcDude | I can mount it but everything is installed on a virtual harddrive and the mounted filesystem...doesn't match up with anything that's available in GParted | 23:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | HootieMcDude: you can resize an existing partition while its unmounted (usually done from a live cd if its a main partition such a / ) | 23:09 |
| moppy | HootieMcDude, you can, boot from another ISO and use a disk tool | 23:09 |

| HootieMcDude | Ubuntu is running under Virtual Box. Everything is managed via LVM. I can allocate free space only to /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2. sda1 seems to be a system partition(flagged as boot). while sda2 is extended and contains a lvm2 pv filesystem. Whether I allocate the free space to sda2, or sda5 (mounted under sda2?) it never shows up as available when the system is running. Since df -h shows... | 23:20 |
| HootieMcDude | .../dev/mapper/stuff... (which doesn't show up in gparted!?) and is 100% full, am I just screwed? | 23:20 |

| hitsujiTMO | Richhh: i'm not familiar with individual writing methods i'm afraid ... but using a slower burning speed is the main thing that improves your chances of a good burn dramatically. | 23:22 |

| Ubnoobtu | this is the first time Ive ever done anything like this | 23:23 |
| Ubnoobtu | Whats up Dr_willis | 23:23 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Ubnoobtu: not connected? they are on the same network/networked? all one normally does is install ssh server. then ssh back and forth using password. you can set up keys later | 23:24 |
| Ubnoobtu | I was following the wiki, and it said avoid using the passwords, so I did. | 23:24 |
| Ubnoobtu | so the files are edited on both pcs | 23:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | dn5: is there a particular piece of software that you are looking for? | 23:25 |
| Ubnoobtu | the sshd_config files | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Ubnoobtu: if you have never used ssh or any of this.. the default setup takes just a few min to setup and no editing of files is really needed | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Ubnoobtu: are these pcs on some public network? | 23:25 |

| hitsujiTMO | jasonsmr: from where did you run grub-install? | 23:28 |
| hispeed67 | restart the ssh service | 23:28 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Ubnoobtu: restart the ssh service on the machines. and see if ssh works | 23:28 |
| jasonsmr | to erase it : dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=62 seek=1 | 23:28 |
| hispeed67 | service ssh restart | 23:28 |
| Ubnoobtu | isnt that like sudo service ssh restart? | 23:28 |
| jasonsmr | from the boot patition on the same drive | 23:29 |
| jasonsmr | from mint install at /dev/sd5 | 23:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | jasonsmr: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=62 seek=1 that command destroyed your partition table | 23:29 |

| Richhh | thx again hitsujiTMO | 23:29 |
| jasonsmr | hmm lets see | 23:29 |
| Ubnoobtu | lol, *how* do I use ssh, lololol | 23:29 |
| jasonsmr | what should I have used. I have a backup :P | 23:30 |
| julian-delphiki | Ubnoobtu, "ssh ip.of.other.server" | 23:30 |
| hispeed67 | even ssh localhost | 23:30 |
| jasonsmr | hitsujiTMO ; fdisk still reads the partition table! | 23:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | jasonsmr: the mbr is written to the first 512 bytes on you disk. you skipped the mbr and overwrote the next 31 Kbytes , which is your partition table | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis_ | jasonsmr: the pc may show the old table when you do some changes untill you reboot. or theres some command i recall to reread it. | 23:31 |
| jasonsmr | huh im eyes are opened | 23:31 |
| Ubnoobtu | how do I find my pc's ip? | 23:31 |
| HootieMcDude | Ok, so the problem is I need to resize a LVM disk. Anyone know how to allocate and expand an LVM partition? | 23:32 |
| jasonsmr | yea kpartx /dev/sda | 23:32 |
| julian-delphiki | HootieMcDude, its not as easy as expanding a drive. You have to add to the "pv" or physical volume, then you have to expand the LVM to reflect the new space added to the PV | 23:33 |
| Ubnoobtu | I ran ssh localhost, and it if I wanted to join it. and then it printed out some legal info | 23:33 |
| HootieMcDude | Peachy... | 23:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | jasonsmr: have a look at this for restoring partition tables: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370121 then to fix the mbr, what you should have done is boot to the live cd and chroot to your install, then run grub-install /dev/sda ... also no harm in running update-grub | 23:34 |

| Dr_Willis_ | Ubnoobtu: or use the sshfs tool to mount the remote server to a local directory | 23:41 |

| Guest2376 | what is the best way to edit the nameserver in resolv.conf, if i sudo vi , make the change firefox will work, but when i reastart my nameserver is set back to the original file | 23:41 |
| Ubnoobtu | what is "ssh ip.of.remote.box' and how do I find it | 23:41 |
| julian-delphiki | Ubnoobtu, "ip addr" on the command line | 23:42 |
| Guest2376 | Ubnoobtu: go to the remote box and type ifconfig or ipconfig | 23:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Guest2376: edit it in the head: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 23:42 |

| julian-delphiki | Guest2376, http://askubuntu.com/questions/131342/dnsmasq-sometimes-resolves-things-sometimes-it-doesnt Basically comment out dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf | 23:42 |
| Ubnoobtu | okay and what am I looking for after ip addr | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ifconfig | grep inet ;) | 23:43 |
| julian-delphiki | Dr_Willis_, you old school man you. | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | you look for the ip address of your server Ubnoobtu | 23:43 |
| MrPPS | Ubnoobtu: are you familiar with what an IP address is? | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ie: 192.168.1.127 | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | it might be time to start with networking fundamentals. ;) but really you just need the ip address of the server. and you should be able to ssh to it and copy files. | 23:44 |
| Ubnoobtu | alright cool, Imma remember ifconfig | grep inet | 23:45 |
| Ubnoobtu | because this one is 192.169.1.3, and the pc I want to send the files would be 192.168.1.8 | 23:46 |
| Voi | im looking for ubuntu versions with older kernels cus the newer ones wont work for me; is there a page where i could download ubuntu versions but with downgraded kernels? (so i dont have to downgrade manually) | 23:46 |
| Ubnoobtu | The authenticity of host '192.168.1.8 (192.168.1.8)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is 88:41:56:d3:57:0b:ed:2c:c1:ad:ce:50:fc:5f:87:67. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? | 23:47 |
| === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers | ||
| MrPPS | Ubnoobtu: yes | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis_ | so type 'yes' ;) | 23:48 |
| Guest2376 | hitsujiTMO: thx will know after update finishes | 23:48 |
| Ubnoobtu | Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.8' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. root@192.168.1.8's password: Permission denied, please try again. root@192.168.1.8's password: Permission denied, please try again. root@192.168.1.8's password: Permission denied (publickey,password). | 23:48 |
| Guest2376 | julian-delphiki: thx | 23:48 |
| MrPPS | Ubnoobtu: which user account do you use on the other system? | 23:48 |
| Ubnoobtu | uh, Robert? | 23:49 |
| Guest2376 | Ubnoobtu: yes it's asking if you accept the key | 23:49 |
| MrPPS | ok, so the problem is | 23:49 |
| MrPPS | you're trying to access it as user "root" | 23:49 |
| MrPPS | but using the password for "robert" | 23:49 |
| MrPPS | Ubnoobtu: so, change your command to: ssh robert@192.168.1.8 | 23:49 |
| delinquentme | cd /home/`$USER`/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ | 23:49 |
| delinquentme | how do I get a command like this to complete :D | 23:50 |
| Guest2376 | MrPPS: ah, i assumed it was a more basic question | 23:50 |
| Ubnoobtu | Oh my, i'm learning and you all are teaching me, thank you thank you | 23:50 |
| evan_ | hello. is there a way to disable text from being shown in source code files (java, c++, etc) without disabling thumbnails entirely ? Using 13.10 | 23:50 |
| MrPPS | :) | 23:51 |
| Ubnoobtu | okay, I've managed to connect, now, how do I send the folders over to the pc now? | 23:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ubnoobtu: you sonnecting with ssh or sftp? | 23:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | connecting* | 23:51 |
| MrPPS | Ubnoobtu: alright, by ssh'ing into it, you've just confirmed that ssh actually works - however, it's not SSH itself that we use to transfer files | 23:51 |
| julian-delphiki | personally i'd probably use Filezilla to connect over sftp. | 23:51 |
| MrPPS | it's another bit of software that uses SSH | 23:51 |
| MrPPS | Ubnoobtu: which folder is it that you're trying to transfer? | 23:51 |
| MrPPS | as in, what's the location of it, on the remote machine? | 23:52 |
| snadge | cracking release on the ole saucy chaps! | 23:52 |
| Ubnoobtu | wait, so do i connect from the machine I want to send from, or receive from? | 23:52 |
| snadge | im running it on a 2012 mac mini, with a 250gb samsung evo ssd, and 16GB of ddr3 ;) | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !info sshfs | Ubnoobtu | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Ubnoobtu: sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component main, is optional. Version 2.4-1ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 46 kB, installed size 132 kB | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Ubnoobtu: sshfs or scp are what i normally use. | 23:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ubnoobtu: technically you can do either... but the sftp put command is annoyingly broken for -r (wont create dirs)... where as sftt get will | 23:53 |
| Ubnoobtu | I wouldn't even know how to start those, lol | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Ubnoobtu: scp file file | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis_ | or sshfs user@server.ip:/home/username dirctoryname | 23:54 |
| MrPPS | Ubnoobtu: so, for example, scp file@remote.host:/home/user/file.tmp /local/file/location | 23:54 |
| Dr_Willis_ | or.. nautilus can access ssh servers also in the file manager.. connect to server ...... menu item | 23:54 |
| Ubnoobtu | is it possible to do entire folders? | 23:54 |
| Dr_Willis_ | now that you know ssh is working | 23:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ubnoobtu: scp -r is for recursive (folders) | 23:56 |
| trism | evan_: have you seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/136024/how-to-stop-nautilus-from-creating-thumbnails-of-specific-file-types ? | 23:56 |
| Ubnoobtu | But from what machine do I use the commands for? | 23:58 |
| evan_ | trism: thanks for replying. Yes I have check out that thread, but it doesn't seem to work. I know Nemo has a "remove text from icon" feature, but I prefer a different solution than to use Nemo | 23:58 |
| nicklas | how do you use jockey-text? | 23:59 |
