[02:16] yes [02:17] 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] Crazyzurfer, try going to Software & Updates > Additional Drivers? [02:17] 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] Crazyzurfer: it's installed ... you can see what drivers are getting loaded in your xorg log ... /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:17] I think that should tell you whether a proprietary video card driver is installed. [02:17] i got the computer used, so not sure if fan is original, but it works [02:17] 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? [02:18] Crazyzurfer: you might want to have a look at this to get your optimus running: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [02:19] omnomnOMINOUS: you could try to update from the cd this way it respects your data [02:20] uncle_ben: sounds like someone replaced it with the wrong type of fan. [02:20] msdw: I want to do a clean install, because my old install was broken. =/ [02:20] 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] then the safes way is to back up you home and then do fresh install [02:21] Crazyzurfer: have you run optirun on anything to test it? [02:21] omnomnOMINOUS: It doesn't say anything.. it says, there are no aditional drivers [02:21] hitsujiTMO: nope, how can I do that?

[03:04] jon1233: download the .deb of the package, is fairly simple and the answer is right there in front of you on that page; I'm sure you can figure it out [03:04] afk [03:04] I can't find the download link [03:05] I am on that page but no download links? [03:06] how do I download the file at https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/stable-daily [03:06] ShayGuy: search through your home dir for the config dirs and cache. the package manager tools rarely if ever (i cant think of a single example) touch files in the users /home/whatever directories. [03:07] i'm trying to run gnome classic, but it is not showing up in my sessions list on the login screen. do i need to install a certain package to get it? [03:07] jon1233: click on package details, then choose your architecture then you can download the debs [03:08] I am on windows [03:08] I cannot use those terminal commands === theinova is now known as inova [03:08] ironcamel: yes. depends on what ubuntu verion you are running [03:08] Windows computer has internet, ubuntu computer no internet [03:08] !classic | ironcamel [03:08] ironcamel: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic".

There are dozens of directories named "config" or "cache" in /home/myname. [03:09] ShayGuy: .config is first place to look. [03:10] * ironcamel is installing ubuntu-gnome-desktop ...

I see them for videos. i think theres some max file size config to let nautilus make them. === lanr3fn1_sn3m is now known as Lacon1c [03:13] ironcamel: alt-tab in unity uses compiz. and has a lot of settings you can tweak [03:13] 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] ironcamel: not sure about gnome-shell or the classic mode [03:13] Dr_Willis: where can this be adjusted? [03:13] 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] not sure if its the problem because I have penty of small video files [03:13] philwdsa: I see them for videos by default for local videos. I not for ones over the network shares.

[03:14] Why would playback of a bluray in vlc be effected by using makemkv to copy and decrypt an unrelated bluray iso? [03:14] when you download the code it comes with install instructions [03:14] jon1233: you will need to also download ALL the dependencies.. that can be a lot of differnt packages === k is now known as Guest24257 [03:14] jon1233: most likely the .deb package by itself wont install. it will want other dependencies also [03:15] :( [03:15] Dr_Willis: also I will add, I am trying to view the thumbnails on a external hd [03:15] How do I just make it work [03:15] usuali you use comands like ./configure, make, make install [03:15] but not sure why that would make a difference [03:15] Is there no easy way to do this? [03:15] 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] in windows I just download vlc.exe and put on USB and done [03:15] ubuntu = ??? [03:15] philwdsa: external usb hd with videos i get thumbnails here [03:15] Dr_Willis: The launcher icon says "Google Chrome (beta)," too -- probably significant. Can I check what process it links to? [03:15] Dr_Willis: hmm... strange [03:15] jon1233: you should connect to the internet and download it with the package manager [03:15] jon1233:you can do the deb installation but just download the deendencies [03:16] I cant no internet adapter on that computer [03:16] jon1233: thats how ubuntu is designed to work. [03:16] run a cable [03:16] no internet adapter [03:16] not even place to plug in cable [03:16] otherwise you are going to spend i imagine several hours at this === lanr3fn1_sn3m is now known as Lacon1c [03:16] so much for ease of use [03:16] its designed for mondern people who do have internet. [03:16] windows works fine without internet [03:17] Is there no big file I can download that contains all the dependencies? [03:17] jon1233:hey do you have a smart phone, u can use tether to share the internet [03:17] One big file that has it all and can auto-install? [03:17] jon1233: not that i have EVER seen. [03:17] ubuntu has a built in video player..

[03:18] I dont need VLC so much as codecs [03:18] just any video player that can play most video files [03:18] codecs might be a single package [03:19] I downloaded them from that packages.ubuntu.com place [03:19] restricted-codecs-59.tar.gz === javi is now known as Guest68120 [03:19] download everything that looks like you may need the .deb not the tar.gz [03:19] but it wouldn't load in the software thing in ubuntu [03:19] .tar.gz would be source code [03:19] jon1233: download the .deb and make sure you have the required dependencies of vlc https://wiki.videolan.org/Contrib_Status/ [03:19] in most cases [03:19] jon1233: or you can configure https://wiki.videolan.org/Configure/ [03:20] as in compile from source [03:20] good luck [03:20] jon1233: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ [03:20] vlc last i looked - pulled in quite a few dependencies on a normal install of ubuntu [03:20] There are 20+ [03:20] i have vlc.deb [03:20] but it needed dependencies [03:21] yep ;) [03:21] is deb file like exe? [03:21] Hello! [03:21] a .deb is the package you install [03:21] so like .msi [03:21] its NOT an executable.. [03:21] its like an .apk on android. :) [03:22] I got cinnamon to work [03:22] 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] the only way to make it work is via the ppa, not the repos [03:22] FoShizz: hope you dont have any hard drives mounted to /media/ === newbie is now known as Guest16023 [03:22] If there are harddrives, they all get wiped? [03:22] FoShizz: and ithink rm -rf/ has a failsafe these days - you need extra optins to do it [03:22] FoShizz: if they are MOUNTED [03:23] Is there a quick way to unmount all harddrives? [03:23] Hi, [03:23] Is there anyway to install restricted-extras via this http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/u/ubuntu-restricted-extras/ [03:24] 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] Files look too small [03:24] dang [03:24] 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? [03:24] What's a good way to mess with someone who uses a livecd? [03:24] ubuntu-restricted-extras is JUST a meta-package jon1233 its job is to pull in the other packages in an easy way [03:24] Without damaging the acutal hdd? [03:25] Are the original files available for download that can be transferred on usb? [03:25] jon1233: the dependencies for that package are also .debs yopu can download and install. thats how the apt system works [03:25] have to transfer on usb after [03:25] foo pulls in bar and fii... you could install bar and fii seperately [03:25] 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. [03:27] Is there a website that has the restricted-extras .deb files for 13.10 for download alone? [03:27] Hello [03:28] I need some help please [03:28] jon1233: the ubuntu-restricted-extas is a 'meta pacakge' it has no real content. it just 'depends' on the OTHER .deb packages [03:28] jon1233: so install ing it - forces the system to get the other packages. and saves typeing. ;) [03:28] jon1233: ubuntu-desktop works the same way [03:28] Can I get those "other packages" from somewhere? === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded [03:28] And put them on USB and transfer [03:28] jon1233: yes.. same place you get all the otehr .debs [03:28] however you are finding them [03:28] Dr_Willis: Sorry to interrupt -- DOES my launcher link to the wrong process?

[03:32] I was in the login page and clicked "log in" - the address I have posted was cut from the address bar [03:33] What's a good way to mess with someone running a livecd?

[03:34] fuqqq [03:34] ShayGuy: looks like its running the beta to me. :) [03:35] If I delete /etc, will I cripple a computer? [03:35] Dr_Willis: Would the upgrade have somehow changed the command? Do I just try and change it back now? [03:35] Its OK - I have logged in from Chrome -wierd!!' [03:35] thanks ppl [03:35] bye [03:36] FoShizz: the /etc file has the config of the ubunut [03:36] Dr_Willis: Not even sure exactly what the command's SUPPOSED to be... I don't know what the %U does, for instance. [03:36] sweet [03:37] if I rm -rf /etc a livecd, will it have permanent effects? [03:38] fuck this shit [03:38] i will download every dependency for vlc [03:38] I am using 13.10 and the clock is just disappeared from the top right of the desktop.

[03:43] heloo [03:44] compiler is for compiling :-) === faizul_ is now known as faizul [03:44] l_r: put -v [03:44] msdw, i don't have it installed [03:45] just install it [03:45] hello anudas [03:45] Welcome [03:45] msdw, i don't have 13.10 installed [03:45] last thing I need help with: anyone know where the VLC package is @ packages.ubuntu.com? I can't see it at http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/video/ [03:45] unles that you want a version that you can download and compile [03:46] hi [03:46] msdw, no i just need to know which version of g++ comes with ubuntu 13.10, as i don't have 13.10 installed to check [03:46] hi jmgk [03:46] FoShizz: i run live cds on systems with no hard drives. [03:48] anudas: Hey [03:48] !find g++ [03:48] Found: account-plugin-aim, account-plugin-facebook, account-plugin-flickr, account-plugin-google, account-plugin-jabber, account-plugin-salut, account-plugin-twitter, account-plugin-windows-live, account-plugin-yahoo, activity-log-manager (and 15871 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=g%2B%2B&searchon=names&suite=saucy§ion=all [03:49] $ g++ --version [03:49] g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.1-10ubuntu8) 4.8.1 [03:49] thx [03:49] Is it possible for me to use apt-get vlc, then somehow collect those downloaded files and put them on USB to another ubuntu machine? [03:49] anudas: how is Ubuntu? [03:49] jon1233: thats what 'apt-on-cd' does [03:49] lets you make a moveable repository [03:49] !aptoncd [03:49] 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 [03:49] mmmmmmmmmm [03:49] nice [03:49] cd/dvd or usb ;) [03:50] jmgk fine [03:50] Dr_Willis: I gather I'm supposed to edit the launcher, but I don't know what the command is supposed to be. [03:50] good good [03:50] is there [03:50] !aptonusb [03:50] anudas: on a laptop or desktop [03:50] ? [03:50] i usually just backup the DEB files themeselves, though APTtoCD is a good app [03:50] ShayGuy: i dont know eitehr. i dont know what you are doing. there MIGHT be a .desktop launcher for the non beta one. i imagine the command will be the same only without the beta :) [03:50] themselves* [03:51] desktop [03:51] how do I get the "show desktop" button on 13.10 [03:51] ah [03:52] jon1233: i recall theres some check box in one of the settings tools to enable it. [03:52] I never need it. ;) my desktop is blank [03:52] and you? [03:53] hmm [03:53] the ubuntu machine i have connected to internet is 10.04 LTS [03:53] will apt-get VLC for the CD repository still work? [03:53] to transfer to 13.10 cpu? [03:55] jon1233: thats going to make things a lot harder. [03:55] and no it wont work [03:55] ;( [03:55] 10.X stuff is 3 years older then whats in 13.x [03:55] I have a computer with a mac address of b8:ca:3a:b2:a8:6c and the ip is 66.75.232.175. Is there a way to wake it up if I'm on a different connection and the computer is asleep or off? [03:55] can i use the 13.10 cd to boot off of [03:55] jon1233: the best way would be to compile it [03:55] msdw how do i do that? [03:55] boot the 13.10 cd on the pc with the networking.. intall vlc.. see wht it downlaods [03:56] copy styff to flash.. move it over === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [03:56] compile it? thats not the best way. he would have to download ALL the dev pcakges and stuff [03:56] then hope he can compile it [03:56] hi Dr_Willis [03:57] 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] is another way. (or use it to make an apt-on-usb setup) [03:57] !apt-on-usb [03:58] why cant ubuntu just have one file that installs it [03:58] like windows has .exe [03:58] can put exe on usb [03:58] jmgk [03:58] Dr_Willis: OK, I'm going to try removing the -beta from the launcher. Wish me luck. [03:59] Hi does anyone know how to use rosegarden? [04:00] jon1233: youve aparently never had to go hunting for various dll's and other things to get a windows 'exe' working [04:01] i havent dr willis === owner is now known as Guest14124 [04:01] it just works :/ [04:01] jon1233: and you havent noticed how a trivial app in a windows exe installer will be severl DOZEN mb in size.. due to it having tohave all the extra stuff included every time [04:01] jon1233: no it does not.. [04:01] ;) [04:01] I need help. I have 13.04 installed and I can't get the flash player work with chromium or firefox [04:01] and when it breaks its 100x more a bear to fix [04:01] if i had windows without internet id just put vlc.exe on a usb stick and it'd work [04:02] Everything else works. I'm on a 32 bit system [04:02] jon1233: and HOPE the devs included all the libs in the .exe.. which can happen. [04:02] jon1233: what about exe that are only launchers for the download? [04:02] jon1233: or the .exe would be 300mb in size.. [04:02] * Dr_Willis is reminded of a mouse driver.exe that was 400mb in size... [04:02] it always just works for me [04:02] does anyone know a great midi sequencer for ubuntu? [04:03] I tried extracting the tar.gz and copying it manually and it didn't work [04:03] printer driver, 1500 mb [04:03] that usually works for me if nothing else does [04:03] naa [04:03] i cant believe [04:03] Can anyone see my messages ? [04:03] Guest14124: yes.. [04:03] I can almost make VLC work here [04:03] I just need to find the VLC package at http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/video/ [04:03] but its not there [04:03] !info vlc [04:03] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.8-1 (saucy), package size 1052 kB, installed size 3347 kB [04:03] I have an issue with installing and removing packages on my system. [04:03] Can anyone help me? [04:03] Or would anyone mind helping me out? [04:04] If I remember there is an address you type in google to get to the plugins [04:04] not just extensions [04:04] could anyone recommend a channel to ask about problems with c++? the usage of OpenMP in particular if it helps [04:04] 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] that site has a search feature [04:04] wow @ room scrolling too fast [04:04] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vlc&searchon=names&suite=saucy§ion=all [04:05] http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/vlc [04:05] got it thx [04:05] so if i download every file at http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/vlc [04:05] it will work? [04:05] try it and see. thats the ultimate test. I dont do it that way. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [04:06] those other packages MIGHT have other dependencies. [04:06] http://pastebin.com/u3iGLfvv [04:06] i bein to love steam...... [04:06] i wish there was a .rar that had all those dependencies [04:06] So I get this error whenever I try to upgrade or remove a package. [04:06] I finally got steam working again [04:06] I have no idea what to do, and I've googled for quite a while! [04:06] 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] honestly i like the package managers since it installs all the dep's i need for me ... other distros are pain sometimes [04:06] had to clean out my steam cache [04:06] xmetal: yep. :) [04:07] after awhile i forget what i was installing the dep's TO INSTALL in the first place [04:07] xmetal: sort of the reason all the os's are going to software-market type setups [04:07] lol [04:07] no help here :( [04:07] uhh [04:07] those dependencies for vlc have other dependencies? [04:07] jon1233: they can. [04:07] vlc is nicely running [04:07] that will make for hundreds of files to download [04:08] vlc is a GUI app.. so it would depend eventually down to what X needs.. and s forth [04:08] !offline [04:08] 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] jon1233: you have a working X system/gui so you Do in fact has a lot of dependencies allready installed [04:08] thats why in ubuntu-like (i dont use ubuntu) distros, i use the package manager and just backup the debs by hand [04:08] Now if you were on a server install.... [04:08] apt-get synaptic [04:08] all the dependencies (for that version of the OS) that i need [04:08] !info synaptic [04:08] synaptic (source: synaptic): Graphical package manager.

[04:12] 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] ShayGuy: why not just make a script or use the cli to run what ever it is yiu are wanting to run. [04:12] or make your own 2 seperate launchers in your home [04:13] one for google chome. one for google-chrome-beta [04:13] I don't need two launchers! [04:13] ShayGuy: why do you need 2 browsers then? [04:13] whats the point of having google chrome and chrome beta both installed? [04:13] I would expect there to be a launcher for each one [04:13] I don't need two browsers either. I don't know why I have chrome-beta at all. [04:14] we dont know either. [04:14] but that seems to be the core of your issue [04:14] uninstall them both.. install the one you want to keep perhaps? [04:14] That and my computer not believing me when I say I don't want the beta. [04:15] Uninstalling seems like a little much. [04:15] cannot parse. doesnt want it installed, thinks uninstalling is over the top? [04:16] moppy: Please don't get on my case. [04:16] it's hard for me to understand what you want, or what you are asking [04:17] i don't understand the problem [04:17] hi guyz [04:17] same here [04:17] 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. [04:18] moppy: And I can't figure out what's going on when I try to fix it. That sum it up? [04:18] uninstall the beta one? [04:18] 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] could be misunderstanding the issue, but that is what i'd do [04:19] any reasons you don't want to use chrome-beta ? [04:19] yea it breaks [04:19] been running for a while never had any issues [04:19] And normal Chrome has all my bookmarks, history, extensions, etc. [04:19] anyway you either uninsall it, or delete the launcher and pretend it's not there. former is safer [04:20] if you copied your chrome dataa dir to the beta data dir.. i bet beta woud have them all also.... [04:20] 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 === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:20] well you can backup your bookmarks or sync them to google, to keep them safe [04:20] uninstalling it is like 1command like and get your bookmarks/history/extensions from one to another is a simple copy/paste [04:20] of coruse i think google chrome also has some sort of sync function as well [04:20] * xmetal agrees with Dr_Willis [04:20] 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 [04:21] and yeah if you have a google account, you sync them and are done with it [04:21] 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] chrome/chromium [04:21] i actually need google chrome on linux for the flash player becuase some people wont stop using flash :) [04:21] firefox can do it without an addon also. [04:21] xmetal, it's google, you can bet it saves everything you do :-) [04:21] Hmm. i dont have to use google chrome for flash at the sites i visit. [04:21] probably ... i like that addon since it saves to a local folder [04:21] chromium is doing flash just fine by default [04:22] so i can backup [04:22] true moppy [04:22] Dr_Willis, i find performance better in chrome, and some multimedia heavy stuff like games break in firefox [04:22] 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] lol [04:22] 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] we all know opera is thebest anyway ;) [04:22] Ubuntu 13.04 [04:22] i never had (even when i was on high speed) Chrome do good on either of my laptops [04:22] is are last version of opera? [04:22] (i am going to say Chrome, but i mean Chrome-like browsers) [04:22] how* [04:23] Opera = under-rated browser IMHO [04:23] i like Firefox, but Opera is not bad [04:23] i tend to just use firefox these days. but do have all the main browsers installed. [04:23] but most of my websurfing is from a tablet ;) [04:23] 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] i have alot of browsers installed to "test my site" [04:23] firefox is just becoming a slow hog, and opera just got passed by chrome for so many things imo [04:23] but for regular browsing i use FF [04:23] moppy: omgubuntu or webupd8 had an artical today on getting 4od working [04:24] 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] moppy: i dont even recall ever hearing of the site untill today [04:24] Urgh... [04:24] Dr_Willis, cool, will check it. it's a UK TV channel [04:24] moppy: some special HAL package is needed to get it workling it seems. same for amazon prime === mrapple is now known as MonsieurApple [04:24] what?HAL was depreciated how many years ago? === MonsieurApple is now known as mrapple [04:24] moppy: tell it to the flash demanding sites [04:25] OK, I've got Synaptic open, and there are packages called google-chrome-stable, google-chrome-beta, and google-chrome-unstable. [04:25] Its still used in some DRM cases for some odd reason [04:25] anyone knows about a security channel [04:25] ShayGuy: i recall having to delete my ~/.macromedia/ after installing that pacched hal package also to get amazon prime working [04:25] ShayGuy, wait the first thing you will do is backup EVERYTHING iny our browser. bookmarks, plugins etc [04:25] I seriously hope removing one of these won't erase my Chrome data. [04:26] But, backup, yeah? [04:26] ShayGuy, They wont [04:26] The data is in ~/.config/ [04:26] * xmetal agrees with moppy [04:27] when in doubt... backup [04:27] i think ParkerR is probably right but better safe than sorry [04:27] hmm (i dont know) but in Linux is it in the home directory? [04:27] package manger tools should not be touching tuff in your user/home/whatver we mentined this earlier [04:27] I can't fathom what motivates you all to put up with people like me. [04:27] its a good idea to backup anyway .. "just in case" [04:27] 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? [04:28] mukti_: network atatched storage. :) perhaps [04:28] 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] :) as long as you dont say "I am going with Windows 8", we have no problem helping [04:28] :P [04:28] mukti_: it culd be running ssh, or samba not nfs. [04:28] mukti: yes it is [04:29] outlook express on windows did that a lot. once you reinstalled windows, it wouldnt open your backup [04:29] because different user id [04:29] is /home/myuser/bin supposed to be in my path by default? [04:29] 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!

I'm running 12.04 LTS and my computer is a hp g62 [04:43] that file read only or you dont have persmissions to SAVE the changes you made [04:43] (thats what it sounds like to me) [04:43] you can edit the settings, but its not saving [04:43] amyfunk, did you save it?

I was never able to find any help with that program [04:50] amyfunk: you are restarting the X server after altering that file? ;) [04:50] amyfunk, i thought i had seen someting in there about mosetrack, but was mistaken :) [04:50] mousetrack [04:50] Dr_willis, ah no i am not how does one do that?

[05:07] Dispatch: does guest user work.. does a new user work.. does remove/renameing the users .Xauthority file fix the issue [05:07] !steam [05:07] Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [05:08] I don't know I deleted the .Xauthority file but that was after logging in by CTRL + ALT + F1 - login - startx [05:08] I have disabled the guest account [05:09] I will try to see if I can login to guest [05:09] rebooting now [05:12] Dr_Willis I am unable to login to the guest session as well under the lightdm login manager [05:12] Dr_Willis I am unable to login to the guest session as well under the lightdm login manager [05:14] Dispatch: if a newly made user also works. that points to a problem with the problem users setting files. [05:14] often its their ~/.Xauthority file [05:14] if .Xauthity dosent fix it.. then it could be some other config file in the users home [05:14] okay. so if I use a CLI to do a rm -r .Xauthority will that possibly fix it? [05:15] rename/remove the file and try logging in again. [05:15] one moment. [05:16] that did not work either Dr_Willis [05:17] going to try to reboot [05:17] wish this silly spell checker would stop changing "hiatus" to "weaties" [05:17] :| [05:18] xmetal: at least its not replaceing it with dirty words.... [05:18] ;) [05:18] lol [05:18] that could be intesting in businesses .. .people run an auto-fix spell checker and dont proof-read [05:18] :P [05:21] still no joy Dr_Willis [05:21] Dispatch: you are useing the Unity desktop? a newly made user does or does not work? [05:21] 'sudo adduser testuser' and see if testuser works [05:22] Unity Desktop -- doesn't work for the light-dm login [05:23] test [05:23] test 123 [05:23] doesn't work Dr_Willis [05:25] Dr_Willis, do you have teamviewer? [05:25] if so, would you take a look for me? [05:27] if a newly made user does not work. that points to a driver isue with the unity desktop [05:27] great [05:27] a dirty work around - install a differnt desktop like Lubuntu. that dosent use the 3d stuff [05:28] 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop' and select lubuntu at the login screen/gear icon [05:28] ok.... um... what about reinstalling xorg? [05:29] 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] what Is your video chipset? [05:29] I don't know [05:29] lspci command should show you [05:29] sudo lshw | more [05:29] oops [05:30] lspci | grep VGA [05:31] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Coror Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [05:31] it was working fine before my upgrade [05:31] steam and reboots :( [05:31] I'll be right back Dr_Willis [05:32] -bash: export `/etc/profile` not a valid identifier [05:33] and what says that? [05:33] sounds like ther may be some very deep problems going on [05:33] the cli Dr_Willis [05:33] upon login [05:33] that is weird. so you cant even login at teh console? [05:34] I can login at the console [05:34] but I get that message when I do [05:34] I'll be back in a few minutes [05:34] heres mine [05:34] pastebinit /etc/profile [05:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6316506/ [05:34] to compare [05:41] Dr_Willis would you take a look for me, please? [05:42] look at what? i really dont have any more ideas. [05:42] 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 [05:43] 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] I did try a different desktop but lightdm didn't like it [05:43] the lightdm login screen works. that shows that X is working. [05:43] what desktop did you try? [05:44] gnome, lxde, xfce, ubuntu, gnome classic (no effects), [05:44] it just goes into a login loop [05:44] (lightdm) [05:45] guys can i still partition by hard drive while in ubuntu 12.04 using gparted? === theinova is now known as inova [05:46] qparted working [05:47] SPEEDWAVE: you should be able to manipulate all areas but the partition you are booted to (can't unmount it) === inova is now known as theinova [05:47] SPEEDWAVE: for safety reasons using livecd is the most ideal though [05:48] aeon-ltd, is there any other way to partition it i already installed ubuntu 12.04, i just forgot to partition it... [05:48] xubuntu was removed @ Dr_Willis.... [05:48] Dispatch: and the same happens for a newly made user also correct? [05:48] ?? [05:49] that's correct Dr_Willis [05:50] does your /etc/profile file look normal? can you read it? [05:50] that message you posted eralier - may be a sign of some config issue [05:50] SPEEDWAVE: if you already installed it, then you have the livecd you used [05:51] ok... sec [05:51] I think I see the problem.... === ZIPY_ is now known as ZIPY [05:51] maybe...

[05:52] look for any export lines that have a space in front of the = [05:52] SPEEDWAVE: explain in more detail what you want achieve [05:52] could that be what's causing it? second line from the bottom? [05:53] that error could be comming from your .profile or .bashrc also [05:53] where is .bashrc located? [05:53] aeon-ltd, i want to partition my hd one is for ubuntu and the other one is for backup file [05:53] in user home dir [05:53] in your users home. same as allother .files [05:53] ok === LoganG is now known as LoganG|off [05:54] export MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG=/opt/metasploit-framework/database.yaml is a valid line. :) [05:54] installing 12.04 server/amd64. doesn't install X by default, or is there a selection im missing?

[06:00] SPEEDWAVE: do you know what size partitions you want? [06:00] my lightdm is stuck in a login loop hispeed67 [06:00] Dispatch: your export message - imples that theres some export line thats invalid in one of your startup scripts. [06:00] SPEEDWAVE: use a live cd, shrink it there then create the partitino you want [06:00] dispatch: whats going on? [06:00] that could be causing the users to fail to get a valid shell/starts I guess.. [06:00] I know, that's why I purged them and re-installing them [06:01] hispeed67, atleast 100 gb for my file [06:01] SPEEDWAVE: is there data on the drive you want to save?

[06:14] I had to purge a couple things, and re-install them [06:14] my lightdm wouldn't let me login just kept giving me a login loop (for lack of better words) [06:14] so I purged lightdm and reinstalled the necessary packages. [06:15] 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?

Logout and reboot with your ubuntu USB then partition [06:25] 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] cfhowlett, ok but my ubuntu 12.04 remains when i do the partitioning [06:25] Guest26322, exactly also see ^^^ [06:26] hispeed67, has kindly offered assistance [06:26] !cookie|hispeed67, [06:26] hispeed67,: Wow!

[06:42] how can I launch a GUI application on Unity, from shell (ssh on remote control)? [06:42] bauer: two unix boxen? [06:42] hispeed67: what? [06:43] Bauer, just type the name of the app as it is in /bin/ [06:43] bauer: unix boxes on both sides? [06:43] I can't upgrade or delete a package using sudo apt-get. [06:43] When I try, I get this error: [06:43] http://pastebin.com/u3iGLfvv [06:43] hispeed67: no, I am at work on windows using putty [06:43] ssh auto-forwards X11, but if you are ssh'ing from windows to unix, you need an x-server on the windows machine [06:44] makara: or, am i incorrect? [06:44] the windows machine needs an X-server proggy [06:44] I honestly don't know what to do. I've googled for hours. [06:45] i don't know. what's the app? [06:45] how to display chinese in ubuntu tty? [06:45] 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 [06:46] it's a GUI app.. [06:46] 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] Anyways, I think it has to deal with my filesystem experiencing errors due to a hardware issue a week ago. [06:46] ok, 12.04 server, installed, installed ubuntu-desktop, will it still boot into text mode? [06:46] libreoffice is a gui app, but you can run it and have it process documents for you in the bg [06:47] ok that has to be a bot .. every single night on a different name the exact same question [06:47] over and over for a few nights now [06:47] Either way, this really sucks. :( [06:47] Bauer: are you sshing from ubuntu? [06:47] milamber: no, he's ssh'ing from windows [06:48] hispeed67: i am pretty sure putty supports it . . . [06:48] Bauer, when I installed teamviewer the other day, it opened in Wine [06:48] putty is an X server? [06:48] putty is a ssh client [06:48] Bauer: http://www.math.umn.edu/systems_guide/putty_xwin32.html [06:49] hey, does 12.04 have gpm still ?

Try all the /usr/bin [06:50] Bauer, search for it `locate -i *teamviewer*` [06:51] why not "which teamviewer" [06:51] find -iname *teamviewer* -print [06:52] 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] which is why you should use something better than teamviewer :) [06:52] Ben64: there is nothing more user friendly and quick to use :P [06:53] this isn't seeming very user friendly [06:53] while vnc "just works" [06:54] Ben64: because I forgot to turn it on hehe :P and about vnc - last time I tried it, I had hell setting it up for dual screens, I dont even remember if I figured out how to switch screens when using it [06:56] Hi all.

Spotify stopped functioning, and now freezes when I direct it to play a song, the terminal babble says that it doesn't have permission to make some sort of directory that pulseaudio needs it to. I try to listen to a song on youtube, and all videos are sitting and spinning endlessly, the buffer showing that it's loaded plenty enough to play, [08:57] but never actually beginning to. [08:57] i am trying to find a package using apt-cache but not able to. May I ask about it here? [08:57] jonp: you could try packages.ubuntu.com too [08:58] I've got Ubuntu 13.10 with a convertible laptop and I can't seem to get the on screen keyboard to show up, how do I properly enable it? [08:59] I've turned it on in the Accessibility settings, but nothing happened. [08:59] I honestly don't understand why every update for this OS results in something breaking horribly. Ive been using it since Breezy and haven't once had a clean version upgrade. [09:00] Also, when I flip the screen around and rotate the display, the touch positions don't get inverted aswell.

[09:18] Sorry if I don't talk for long periods a bit busy today lol [09:19] andreiiar: You could try to change the adress of that repository in /etc/apt/sources.list. Replace 'ro' with 'de' (germany) or 'at' 'us' (Austria, US)... You would then know, whether your 'ro' repository is somehow broken. [09:21] I'm trying to get the Sound Indictor to work on Xubuntu.

I put my password in, screen goes black, and then I get a login screen again. Logging in at the terminal works fine.... I'm running Saucy. Anyone able to point me int the right direction? [09:23] cm13g09 when in a terminal, type df -h to make sure no partition is 100% full... also delete old kernels [09:24] cm13g09: usually happens because of the .Xauthority [09:24] MonkeyDust: nope, 44% used [09:24] Ben64: ok [09:24] As a bit of context, the machine had a hard power off due to power cut this morning [09:24] cm13g09: ls -lan ~/.Xauthority [09:25] Ben64: showing as owned by my UID [09:26] -rw------- 1 1000 1000 53 Oct 28 09:04 /home/cmalton/.Xauthority [09:26] cm13g09: why doesn't that show your username, instead of UIDs?

[09:27] Ben64: It did run one when I booted.... [09:27] I can run another one if you want me to.... [09:27] well you can't run on a mounted partition [09:28] heh, true [09:28] anything in /lost+found/ ? [09:28] ie., I want to do maintenance on one of the machines in the cluster - I may upgrade couchdb some such. During such time I want the machine to not be 'replicating' to/from other hosts in the cluster. [09:28] nope :( [09:28] any info from logs after the login screen reappears? [09:29] 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] Ben64: I wish I knew which log file to look at.... I'm normally a Debian user.... [09:29] what does .xsession-errors say? [09:29] well debian isn't far off [09:29] OOOOOOH [09:29] but wondering if there is something existing already. please suggest if you think the above idea will work.

[10:59] why not just install both KDE and Unity? [10:59] excognac, why not nstall one and add the other desktop environment? [11:00] excognac: separate /home doesn't influence the ability for multiple DEs [11:00] wylde: cos I'm gonna work on this machine, i go for stability or it doesn't really matters now? [11:01] excognac: it doesnt make a difference, you just choose the session at login [11:01] excognac, ^^ what ActionParsnip said [11:01] excognac: how would it affect stability? [11:02] uhm [11:02] 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 [11:03] excognac separate /home is easier to reinstall / upgrade... does not affect stability [11:07] 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 run screen, then the shutdown command [11:07] MonkeyDust, Just 'screen' from terminal? [11:08] MacroMan yes [11:08] OK, thanks. I'll give it a try [11:08] 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? [11:12] MacroMan: try using the at scheduler [11:12] MacroMan: sudo at 11:30 type: shutdown -h now then press CTRL+D [11:13] MacroMan: atd is a service so will not die when you close the terminal [11:14] 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] 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. [11:15] excognac: if you would like to install everything then apt-get install kde-full [11:15] ActionParsnip, Actually, that at scheduler seems quite good. I'll give it a try [11:16] 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] MacroMan: its dead handly, like cron but a single shot command [11:17] 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 [11:18] excognac: "sudo apt-get install unity" [11:19] What is the command to launch gnome-power-manager GUI?

[11:23] sam_: I have said to press TAB but you don't seem to be doing so, why are you pressing ENTER after gnome instead of TAB as I advise [11:23] ActionParsnip, got you. Thanks. Nothing obvious though.. [11:23] sam_: so why were you not hitting TAB...like I said? [11:23] ActionParsnip, I am now [11:24] sam_: but why not earlier? [11:24] but still nothing about power manager showing up [11:24] sam_: what are you wanting to achieve? [11:24] ActionParsnip, because I misunderstood [11:24] 'press TAB' can be misunderstood.

That took some doing before. [12:24] tarelerulz: nope you have to install libdvdcss2 === _Sieb is now known as Sieb [12:25] tarelerulz: to do so you have first to install liddvdread4 from the main repository (sudo apt-get install libdvdread4) [12:25] tarelerulz: then you have to run the command inside the package manually [12:26] that's only for encrypted dvds isn't it? [12:26] !dvd [12:26] 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 [12:27] tarelerulz: so you have to run the command "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" [12:27] so it does play dvds out of the box [12:27] tarelerulz: which will take care of installing it for you.

"sudo apt-get install vlc" [12:32] vlc or smplayer, vlc if you want menus [12:33] 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] 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] (unencrypted dvd) [12:33] tarelerulz: becaue you can play UNENCRYPTED DVDs [12:33] tarelerulz: it does not say ENCRYPTED DVDs [12:34] That is misleading , Who has note encrypted dvd.

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.

[13:56] adamk: how do I check that? >.> === Lachesis is now known as lachesis [13:56] i did enter this chat cause of school . i got a few questions cause i'm making a thesis about this subject : Linux as an alternatievve for windows clients now my question is who can help me with some documentation and info about this subject i just started school so i'm still noob in computer world and everything about operating systems but i was wondering if the linux community can provide [13:56] documentation over this subject kind regards . Stef [13:56] cntrational: i think the reason is this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1200932/comments/3 [13:56] cntrational: Run 'echo $LD_PRELOAD' in a terminal window. [13:56] Ubuntu bug 1200932 in mesa (Ubuntu) "Using an intel GMA 3150 without opengl 2.1 support" [Undecided,New] [13:57] cntrational: unity does not work anymore on 3150 with new mesa versions like the one in 13.10? [13:57] adamk: that just gives me a blank line [13:58] kostkon: hm. [13:58] cntrational: OK. [13:58] In any case, it looks like this is just broken... Which is seriously screwed up. [13:59] cntrational: you can go up to 13.04 if hou want hardqarw accelerated unity [13:59] adamk, kostkon: hm. [14:00] cntrational: my theory is this anyway. try researching it more [14:00] well, thanks for the help, i'll see what i can do now [14:01] cntrational: run the unity support test. there is a cmd you can give [14:01] cntrational: If you decide to step back some ubuntu versions, I would consider 12.04, because 13.04 has just another 3 month before it is out of support... [14:01] cntrational: According to that bug comment, using Unity forces you into software rendering.. Try another window manager and see if 'glxinfo' reports that you still have software rendering. [14:01] okay, i'll see if i can do that [14:02] cntrational: wut why is your "OpenGL Vendor" VMWare [14:02] LjL: vmware is the vendor for the mesa software rasterizer. [14:02] i see [14:04] according to /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p, it does indeed use software rendering, and that Unity 3D isn't supported [14:05] cntrational: yes but it shouldn't, as far as i can see your card uses the i915 driver (which get loaded) and that's supposed to get full support. === jack is now known as Guest91051 [14:06] cntrational: If you start typing 'echo $LIBGL' and then hit tab, does it autocomplete any variable?

[14:30] i never had ubuntu crash and i've ran it on some cruddy hardware [14:30] 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] CoolApps: does it keep going? [14:31] BenB: Ideally, you want to tell dhclient not to do that. Alternatively, have you tried: chmod -r /etc/resolv.conf ? [14:31] I know but the point is that it keeps on crashing too often. -Action [14:31] CoolApps: try LXDE or XFCE :) [14:31] Yes. -Action [14:31] Does the Ubuntu installer automatically set the mount point of the EFI system partition when using 'something else'?

BenB: Ideally, you want to tell dhclient not to do that. [14:34] Not really but I think I know why -ActionParsnip [14:34] Lynxx: you could remove old kernel and header packages. [14:34] oh [14:34] how would i do that [14:34] BenB: Still reading docs, I haven't modified dhclient in a while. Give me a minute. [14:35] Lynxx: see which kernels are installed and remove the old "linux-image-....." and "linux-header.." packages [14:36] 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] ...

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [18:13] Anyone, how do I back out of upgrade to 13.10 - the menu of Eclipse does not work - shows only but no action [18:13] genii & ubottu - I'll look into that, cheers. [18:14] I am on 9.04 and basically the system is spamming me to upgrade on almos every click. I have no password set.

[18:29] Anyone, after update to 13.10, I followed by partial update, Xchat now displays clean (no garbled lines). Eclipse menu does not work at all [18:29] or does Ubuntu offer some more user-friendly console editor than vi? === devil is now known as Guest85340 [18:29] MarkDavis: nano is installed by default. [18:29] !ppc | pc_ [18:29] pc_: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [18:29] MarkDavis: try using nano [18:30] Anyone, after update to 13.10, I followed by partial update, Xchat now displays clean (no garbled lines). Eclipse menu does not work at all - only displays the menu headings but menu does not pop up [18:31] nicexe: I've just tried, seems like it doesn't work, or I don't know how to use it. I loaded (Ctrl+R) a document and it has displayed the information that some lines has been read, but in fact nothing is being shown. [18:32] !editor | MarkDavis [18:32] MarkDavis: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [18:32] ty [18:32] Hey, does anyone know of a great developmental environment that runs natively that will allow me to create vhosts such as project.dev and project2.dev and have them pull from different location and all tie back to a mysql db as well? [18:32] MarkDavis: use it as: nano /path/to/file [18:32] MarkDavis: nano is only good for ASCII [18:32] MarkDavis: what are you trying to edit? [18:32] a tex document [18:33] Hi, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10. Is there any way to make sure I'm using the best graphics driver available for GTX 470? Thanks [18:33] MarkDavis: tbh I find vim way more user-friendly than nano, but that's because I'm used to it [18:33] I request help on an ubuntu usb pendrive installation [18:34] MarkDavis: so what happens if you say "nano [18:34] it loaded it, but by now, I've just pressed Esc, then / and all disappeared. How can I recover it? [18:34] where can i turn off dropbox? [18:35] there is no icon, status bar, or even a clickable notification ...... [18:35] can someone elaborate this for me? is it an option you get during installation or do you have to do something different?"made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead. This image is adjusted to work properly on Mac systems." [18:35] I want to install ubuntu 12.04 on an 16gb pendrive, but i faced troubles, it only allows me to use 4 gb [18:35] MarkDavis: why use something you are not familiar with? [18:35] pc_: what are you trying to install on? [18:35] use gedit [18:35] imac g3/500 [18:36] tom67: Check the partition type [18:36] pc_: you can't run a recent Ubuntu on that [18:36] it was all ext4 [18:36] MarkDavis: press ctrl-x [18:36] pc_, you want to install the 32bit version or the 64bit version? [18:36] probably 32 [18:36] how much ram you have? [18:37] Where is the dropbox icon? [18:37] i want to turn off syncing... [18:37] utusan: it seems like graphical editors are out of the questions. All of them crash. On the other hand, I once read a manual about vim, but it was for System V and that version of vi worked somewhat differently. Or perhaps it's Ubuntu's vim configuration which has some pecularities. [18:37] I guess this would be a good place to ponder a point… Why does everyone insist on /srv/www when "www" is not a protocol, but instead http is? [18:37] How do I know I have the best graphics drivers installed? [18:38] idk. its an old mac just want to put ubuntu on it [18:38] utusan: Also, I didn't use vi for a long time. [18:38] Where is the dropbox icon? I want to turn off syncing before it downloads 2 tb data to the small vps.. [18:38] MarkDavis: if you can, install vim rather than use vi [18:38] pc_: your machine uses powerpc architecture that is no longer developed for by canonical. You cannot use x86 or x64 on it. they are completely different architectures. you will have to use an older ubuntu or a community port from the link that was provided to you earlier. [18:38] MarkDavis: is this on a remote machine? [18:39] pc_, then go for 32bit. Is there a problem with it? [18:39] /srv can contain data directories of services such as HTTP (/srv/www/) or FTP. << ? [18:40] where do i download the 32 bit version? [18:40] there on the d/l page [18:40] pc_: the 32bit wont work on your mac [18:40] what will? [18:41] pc_: why don't you go with debian? [18:41] is that a different linux os? [18:41] pc_: Yep, check your private message.

[20:12] intrader, from what I read you don't need to do the export, you add 'Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse' to the /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop file.

[20:27] Hit ctrl+alt+f1 [20:27] right now in Ubuntu 13.10 I can only get juju 1.16 [20:27] I'd rather not build from source if possible [20:27] Where I am booted, the Gparted flag is boot, correct? [20:28] Kalel: No. [20:28] Kalel: Technically, for linux. the boot flag isnt necessary since 15 years already. [20:28] Bekks will that turn off the static ip? [20:28] To install windows, I should format the partition to ntfs, right? [20:28] intrader, You can try http://paste.ubuntu.com/6320358/ do not delete or completely overwrite the old .desktop just rename it eclipse.desktop.old and create a new one from the paste. [20:28] kalel: just delete the partition, let windows format it [20:28] bekks: Could I see wich partition I'm booted? [20:29] sanman, If it's not in the repos, it is technically not supported here. There are ppa's also not supported. [20:29] HeathHayle: It will fetch a DHCP IP, but you still have to adjust your config prior next boot. [20:29] hispeed67: And about another ones? [20:30] fine, I'll just get a copy of the source [20:30] Bekks can I do ifconfig down on boot up? [20:30] I've added an entry to /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts, I took it from my ~/.ssh/known_hosts after doing a git ls-remote, so I know it's valid, but even with it in the etc location, it's still asking me if I know the specific host. thoughts on why it isn't applying system wide?

[20:36] i cant get skype to detect my mic, but other applications did but not any more [20:36] HeathHayle: Its still unclear what you are going to do. Do you want eth0 to have a dynamic IP, do you want eth0 (wired) to not collide with your USB dongle, or do you just want eth0 to not have an IP ever? [20:37] Kalel: No. [20:37] I have a problem with Transmission: When I first start add a well seeded torrent I get the full down rate, but after 1 minute it drops to something super low like 10kb/s [20:37] Bekks just set eth0 to dynmic [20:37] if I pause the torrent and start it again the same behavior happens [20:38] HeathHayle: Then adjust our networking config.

[20:41] bekks, I just did some reading on the raw devices in VirtualBox, do you know if something similar exists using Microsoft's Hyper-V?

[20:43] I've added an entry to /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts, I took it from my ~/.ssh/known_hosts after doing a git ls-remote, so I know it's valid, but even with it in the etc location, it's still asking me if I know the specific host. thoughts on why it isn't applying system wide? [20:43] the reason I suggest not using it is to eliminate it as a source of problems [20:45] if you hit ctrl+alt+f1 you should be presented with a virtual terminal you can try logging into [20:45] How do I do ip addr flush eth0?

Stick with LO as it is default with Ubuntu. [21:34] Any fixes? [21:35] lenzeor, wilee-nilee asked you what DE did you remove, as it can mess up a lot, you better backup your data and reinstall [21:36] OerHeks: I agree. LO is a good default.

Let me know if you you think i need to explain something more. [21:44] crap, wrong channel [21:45] OerHeks, I don't take it too seriously. It was to expected. It was also a upgraded system (12.10 to 13.04 to 13.10) which apparently isn't recommended. [21:46] DANtheBEASTman: not sure what you are doing but mixing pkgs might not be a good idea as the depends will/may break your system. [21:47] utusan: that's why you backport from source and don't apt-pin [21:47] i'll just do this like I do on debian and see how things go [21:47] <_root_> i have a fresh install ubuntu VPS and I waant to create ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com and then put thoese two in my domain control panel . What is the exact procedure??? [21:48] !root _root_ === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr [21:49] _root_: as in you want to create you're own dns? [21:49] ohhh... it's robotfu fail :( [21:49] DANtheBEASTman: you mean get the source from later and compile in precise? by all means yes you can [21:50] 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 [21:52] _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? [21:53] 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] Wait. What? [21:54] * schultza agress with kindle [21:54] All Chuck Norris does is advertise exercise machines. [21:54] 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] well if a provider's dns is good enough for chuck norris it can work out for _root_ too. [21:54] _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] maybe he is jackie chan [21:55] apricots: You cant. Restore your backup, thats all you can do. [21:55] Chuck Norris uses 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. How do you think it manages the load? [21:55] Hello All. Say I have Linux-firmware-nonfree _1.12ubuntu1_all.deb, how do I install it correctly? [21:55] * schultza hopes apricots did a backup in the first place. [21:55] kindle: Chuck Norris devides the load by infinity. ;) [21:55] the /dev/sdh contained my backups [21:55] apricots: if you haven't overwritten the full drive try... some form of disk recover? [21:55] that's not a backup >< [21:55] apricots: Then you still have your backups - or did you overwrite sdg and sdh? [21:56] 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] Ubnoobtu: dpkg -i pkg.deb [21:56] cool, thanks [21:56] 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] _root_: is this a private domain (no one outside is going to access to)? or what are you planning to do with this vps? [21:57] <_root_> right? which is it? [21:57] apricots: If you want to kill it even more. Create a full image using dd and try your recovery on the image. [21:57] _root_: you should have your domain already hosted at a provider, and point your subdomain to the ip corresponding to your vps. [21:57] you do have a separate ip for your vps right? [21:57] <_root_> schultza, it is .ru domain [21:57] yeah did create an image for messing with [21:57] apricots: Of the entire 120G? [21:57] yep [21:57] so it is publicly accessible. [21:57] <_root_> Gallomimia, i use Virtual server Unmanaged; [21:58] <_root_> Gallomimia, yes one valid ip for VPs [21:58] thanks for that. no information whatsoever has been given about your setup [21:58] _root_: do you already have a name server hosting this domain for you [21:58] apricots: Then create a copy, so you can revert to a "original" image in case you mess it up while recovering. [21:59] <_root_> Gallomimia, an ubuntu server vmware esxi one valid ip [21:59] hosted on what? [21:59] Gallomimia: ESXi. [21:59] 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] where's the hardware [21:59] <_root_> Gallomimia, in torento canada [22:00] not very descriptive either [22:00] your house? a datacenter? === whoever is now known as Guest2376 [22:00] <_root_> Gallomimia, i have access via Vsphere [22:00] hi all , i am tring to upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 can the update manager is saying that i am up to date ,can someone assist [22:01] I'd just clean install. Ubuntu upgrades have screwed me in the past. [22:01] _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] How do I install vnc sever? [22:01] if the file system was ext4 -- doesn't it keep copies of a superblock in a few places? [22:01] apricots: Yes, it does. [22:02] if i recreated the partition as it was before, could i use the other superblock stuff to restore it? [22:02] apricots: You dont knwo how it was before, which is the first pitfall. [22:02] <_root_> schultza, the domain provider just emailed me a pannel with user and pass;;;; the VPS provider gave me an IP Port submask gateway and an IP for nameserver [22:03] welp my HP LaserJet 6MP is spitting out garbage whenever i print since switching to 13.10 [22:03] bekks, it was a single primary partition i believe [22:03] spanning the entire disk [22:03] Guest2376: try dist-upgrade [22:03] and my radeon sound doesn't work :/ [22:03] apricots: Then use testdisk to analyze the disk and recreate the partitions found. === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [22:04] ok will try that. thanks [22:04] <_root_> hitsujiTMO, , the domain provider just emailed me a pannel with user and pass;;;; the VPS provider gave me an IP Port submask gateway and an IP for nameserver [22:04] msdw: i tried that and i am told that there is nothing to do that i am up to date [22:05] msdw: could it be something with my sources.list [22:06] Guest2376: try upgrading from usb or cd [22:07] msdw: i have tried that befor but do not see the option to update/upgrade an existing version just to install over [22:08] _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] so can i go from 12.10 to 14.04 from the cd [22:08] Guest2376: are you booting from the cd [22:09] 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] ok cool it looks like it was a single ext4 fs [22:10] 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] Is it generally safe to go from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS? [22:11] 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 [22:12] uh nv. i should read the man page [22:13] Guest2376: 14.04 just barely started dev [22:13] apricots: are you looking for this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/69363/mount-single-partition-from-image-of-entire-disk-device [22:13] Guest2376: You can update in april next year. [22:14] hitsujiTMO, yeah thanks i found something like that a little after i asked my question [22:14] so i am on 13.04 should i just get 13.10 or go back to 12.04 [22:15] Guest2376: what made you think yours is not 13.10? [22:15] Guest2376: you cant go back without reinstalling. [22:16] utusan: cat /etc/issue , returns 12.10 [22:16] bekks: doubt it [22:16] but i have an image so not that bad [22:16] Guest2376: I know it that you cant downgrade. [22:17] Guest2376: look in your /etc/apt/sources/list if you have raring or saucy [22:17] sources.list* [22:19] 'ello... [22:20] ive installed pangolin precise (12.04.3) and my sis eth0 is working, but the wireless is not..

[22:20] cli i mean [22:20] Guest2376: show in a pastebin"ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" [22:21] Guest2376: if you don't have sources.list, then you are in big trouble [22:22] Is it generally safe to go from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS? I have this virtual server instance that I would like to upgrade, but it would be bad if it crashed totally. Minor upgrade problems is OK. Am I good to go? [22:22] sources.list is in /etc/apt [22:23] but not in /etc/apt/sources.d [22:23] Guest2376: see my last line please [22:23] k1l: thats what i was getting ready to do [22:24] dash_: yes, it should be, ensure your 10.04 is as up to date as possible before upgrading and you should be good to go [22:24] dash_: however, as always... back up first ;o) [22:24] Guest2376: do you see raring or saucy? === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs [22:25] drussell: Thanks. I'll look into what backup procedures that we have. (I'm new to the installation, so I don't really know the status.)

[22:34] kindle: 13.04 update just came up [22:35] is "Signed Ubuntu Code of Conduct:" worth anything in launchpad? Does it mean that it's safe? [22:35] 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] kindle: yep shure do [22:36] kindle: or just change update notification to ltf from every :-) [22:37] Guest2376: you cant update from 12.10 to anything other than 13.04 [22:38] 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:correct , there are technial reasons as to why there are update restrictions (i read about it earlier ) [22:39] fishduck: It's Ubuntu, definitely unsafe <----- asked him whether https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa is safe. Is he right about ubuntu? [22:39] k1l: it must be done in sequential order [22:40] fishduck: its FUD [22:40] Hello everyone. When opening a program via terminal command using something like $ firefox &;, The programs will sometimes output error or status messages in that terminal tab. It outputs them while in irssi or editing someting in vim, so is there a way to prevent them from showing up? [22:40] k1l: FUD? [22:41] fishduck: ubuntu is not unsafe per definition. that was just a rant by that guy [22:41] so, I might have done something stupid [22:41] hi, my vps is running quantal, and ssh -X gives 'X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 [22:41] I logged in using xmonad as my window manager, and started upgrading ubuntu to 13.10 [22:41] I already put in X11UseLocalhost no [22:41] it's not going great [22:41] !ppa | fishduck [22:41] fishduck: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [22:42] right now it's handing on "configured xfonts-utils" - not sure if it's hanging, or if it fails to communicate with me through xmonad :/ [22:42] 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 [22:44] k1l: it's run by strangers in this case. If I upgrade ubuntu, will I get newer versions of git? [22:44] fishduck: if you are not sure then don't use it. [22:46] yes if you added to your apt repo, and if there is a newer candidate [22:47] 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. [22:49] depens on hgow you added it. not sure if ubuntu upgrade changes what's in the sources.list.d folder [22:50] or if the ppa has the newer version as well [22:50] otherwise it would just be ignored [22:50] don't trust the ppas, they're seldom runed by the software devs [22:50] run* [22:50] How do you move filesystem blocks?

Now, do I have to download and re-install my software every time a new version comes? [22:52] fishduck: yes, that's the reason why people maintain ppas [22:53] fishduck: anything you do manually, you have to update manually [22:53] 2.13 SunTzu says, that ppas are not saif.

If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [22:56] do you have any idea fishduck? [22:57] 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] fishduck: is it possible to do it manually ? [22:57] dn5: it only accepts ubuntu repositories I suppose. PPAs for example.

[23:03] I need like an x screen pool [23:03] @DoYouKnow declare your configuration and what excatly do you mean [23:03] 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. [23:04] dn5, I realized mid-typing that that I'm not running ubuntu [23:05] I'm just trying to figure out a solution like ZFS except with monitor pools instead of filesystem pools [23:05] Then what are you looking here @ DoYouKnow [23:05] DoYouKnow: in that case maybe those in #xorg or ##linux can help [23:06] thanks [23:06] 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. [23:07] HootieMcDude, mount it, use the default discs app in unity [23:07] HootieMcDude, it's a bit easier than gparted [23:07] HootieMcDude you need to mount the disk after allocating it and other operations you've done [23:07] moppy: Server edition. No GUI [23:07] 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 [23:08] Right click on allocated space and there is option to mount the disc, that way it should show as filesystem [23:08] So...there's no way to extend a Filesystem that already exists? [23:08] HootieMcDude, use the mount command then: "man mount". put it in etc/fstab if you want it to automount on boot [23:09] 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] 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] HootieMcDude, you can, boot from another ISO and use a disk tool [23:09] HootieMcdude, post a screen shot of gparted and address what you want.

[23:12] I mean I installed a package and its causing me troubble, I jus want to confirm due to conflictions with present packages that I sould find out the time that I did install it>> So I may remove it with better educated understand of how the system conflists present now can be best resolved [23:12] Yup as in what date [23:12] I'm doing something like request.jar(request.cookie(socket.handshake.headers.cookie)); [23:12] jasonsmr: you can see in the apt log: /var/log/apt/history.log [23:13] relized* that I could have answered that quickly opposed to writing an essay [23:13] :) [23:13] Thanks! [23:14] so now I logged out and in again, and I still have a runaway infinitely long dpkg --force-overwrite --stadus-fd 77 --configure ... running. Any way of seeing if that one actually does anything? [23:14] hmm [23:15] shoot, I installed flex today, and by that I am going to assume FlexNet>> well because Im getting a horrable error about it being in a sector of my MBR! on sector 62.. [23:16] These repositories are killing me for sure. [23:16] I think i installed it to use BSDgames [23:17] http://svnweb.freebsd.org anyone here added FreeBSD repository to Ubuntu? [23:17] dn5: you can't add a freebsd repo to ubuntu [23:18] freebsd isn't even linux [23:18] O rly? Thank you, I didn't know that. -.- [23:19] I'm trying to find a way to wget every lib from it. [23:19] dn5: adding FBSD repos to ubuntu makes zero sense... [23:20] 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] .../dev/mapper/stuff... (which doesn't show up in gparted!?) and is 100% full, am I just screwed? [23:20] jasonsmr, flexnet has been a problem in the past, I believe the bootrepair app has some tools, info all over the ubuntu foms in general. [23:20] burning my lubuntu iso again (assuming last discs installation I/O errors were due to bad burn as hitsujiTMO suggested), chosing min burn speed but which write method of {SAO,TAO,TAO with zero pregap,raw96r,raw16,raw96p} is least error-producing? [23:21] Hey all. I am following the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openssh-server.html, and I'm at the part where I take a file to the computer I want receiving the key and I've gotten confused [23:22] 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] ok will do the default [23:22] Ubnoobtu: can you ssh into the box currently, with a password? if so, check out ssh-copy-id, makes life easy. [23:23] definatly makes life easier. ;) [23:23] zykotick9, no I can't, I havent even gotten themconnected [23:23] this is the first time Ive ever done anything like this [23:23] Whats up Dr_willis [23:24] 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] I was following the wiki, and it said avoid using the passwords, so I did. [23:25] so the files are edited on both pcs [23:25] dn5: is there a particular piece of software that you are looking for? [23:25] the sshd_config files [23:25] 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] Ubnoobtu: are these pcs on some public network? [23:25] I just deleted the MRB with a backup on seperate drive and reinstalled grub2 [23:26] but still grub is acting like its not finding the stage2?? wierd! [23:26] They are both connected to the wireless router, [23:26] jasonsmr: what is the exact error you are getting? [23:26] Ubnoobtu: basics are install the ssh server package on the machines, then ssh ip.number.of.server for the otehr box. [23:26] Ubnoobtu: thats all i really ever do.

[23:28] jasonsmr: from where did you run grub-install? [23:28] restart the ssh service [23:28] Ubnoobtu: restart the ssh service on the machines. and see if ssh works [23:28] to erase it : dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=62 seek=1 [23:28] service ssh restart [23:28] isnt that like sudo service ssh restart? [23:29] from the boot patition on the same drive [23:29] from mint install at /dev/sd5 [23:29] jasonsmr: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=62 seek=1 that command destroyed your partition table [23:29] so grub-install /dev/sda [23:29] thx again hitsujiTMO [23:29] hmm lets see [23:29] lol, *how* do I use ssh, lololol [23:30] what should I have used. I have a backup :P [23:30] Ubnoobtu, "ssh ip.of.other.server" [23:30] even ssh localhost [23:30] hitsujiTMO ; fdisk still reads the partition table! [23:31] 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] 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] huh im eyes are opened [23:31] how do I find my pc's ip? [23:32] Ok, so the problem is I need to resize a LVM disk. Anyone know how to allocate and expand an LVM partition? [23:32] yea kpartx /dev/sda [23:33] 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] I ran ssh localhost, and it if I wanted to join it. and then it printed out some legal info [23:33] Peachy... [23:34] 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 === adamoutler is now known as Guest48318 [23:35] Ubnoobtu: and... you get a shell promot eventually..

[23:43] you look for the ip address of your server Ubnoobtu [23:44] Ubnoobtu: are you familiar with what an IP address is? [23:44] ie: 192.168.1.127 [23:44] 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. [23:45] alright cool, Imma remember ifconfig | grep inet [23:46] 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] 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) [23:47] 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)? === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [23:47] Ubnoobtu: yes [23:48] so type 'yes' ;) [23:48] hitsujiTMO: thx will know after update finishes [23:48] 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] julian-delphiki: thx [23:48] Ubnoobtu: which user account do you use on the other system? [23:49] uh, Robert? [23:49] Ubnoobtu: yes it's asking if you accept the key [23:49] ok, so the problem is [23:49] you're trying to access it as user "root" [23:49] but using the password for "robert" [23:49] Ubnoobtu: so, change your command to: ssh robert@192.168.1.8 [23:49] cd /home/`$USER`/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ [23:50] how do I get a command like this to complete :D [23:50] MrPPS: ah, i assumed it was a more basic question [23:50] Oh my, i'm learning and you all are teaching me, thank you thank you [23:50] 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 [23:51] :) [23:51] okay, I've managed to connect, now, how do I send the folders over to the pc now? [23:51] Ubnoobtu: you sonnecting with ssh or sftp? [23:51] connecting* [23:51] 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] personally i'd probably use Filezilla to connect over sftp. [23:51] it's another bit of software that uses SSH [23:51] Ubnoobtu: which folder is it that you're trying to transfer? [23:52] as in, what's the location of it, on the remote machine? [23:52] cracking release on the ole saucy chaps! [23:52] wait, so do i connect from the machine I want to send from, or receive from? [23:52] im running it on a 2012 mac mini, with a 250gb samsung evo ssd, and 16GB of ddr3 ;) [23:53] !info sshfs | Ubnoobtu [23:53] 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] Ubnoobtu: sshfs or scp are what i normally use. [23:53] 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] I wouldn't even know how to start those, lol [23:53] Ubnoobtu: scp file file [23:54] or sshfs user@server.ip:/home/username dirctoryname [23:54] Ubnoobtu: so, for example, scp file@remote.host:/home/user/file.tmp /local/file/location [23:54] or.. nautilus can access ssh servers also in the file manager.. connect to server ...... menu item [23:54] is it possible to do entire folders? [23:54] now that you know ssh is working [23:56] Ubnoobtu: scp -r is for recursive (folders) [23:56] evan_: have you seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/136024/how-to-stop-nautilus-from-creating-thumbnails-of-specific-file-types ? [23:58] But from what machine do I use the commands for? [23:58] 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 [23:59] how do you use jockey-text?
