| sisterFister | what's the one to check the date? | 00:10 |
| bekks | sisterFister: "date" | 00:10 |
| gimli_ | someone gave me a command to check all iso md5sums. something like < !md5sum > | 00:11 |
| gimli_ | will that work? ^ | 00:11 |
| wilee-nilee | !md5sum | gimli_ | 00:12 |
| ubottu | gimli_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:12 |

| fmedina | I am running 13.10, now all flash video freezes, any recommendations? | 00:13 |
| mheinke | fmedina, is the plugin crashing? | 00:13 |
| gimli_ | i've tried burning an iso to a usb stick twice. no luck. i am using this command | 00:13 |

| zeep | or minitube | 00:14 |
| gimli_ | sudo dd if=~/Desktop/filename.iso of=/dev/sdb oflag=direct bs=4M | 00:14 |
| fmedina | flash is not crashing, every single video stops a couple of seconds into playback, i slide the progress bar a bit and it starts palying for a few secs, and so on | 00:14 |
| zeep | gimli_: did you format the flash drive? i usually format it to fat32 and never had a problem dd'ing to it | 00:15 |
| zeep | i also don't use the oflag and bs flags. not sure if it matters | 00:15 |
| fmedina | hmmm.. actually sound does not seem to be working | 00:16 |
| Ponch0 | How come during installation, when I choose "replace and install" it doesn't actually erase anything? | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | sisterFister: if blkid is not showing the device.. then the system is most likely not seeing it at all. id see if the BIOS is showing the device | 00:16 |
| Ponch0 | It says it erases but it doesn't | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: delete it | 00:17 |
| gimli_ | zeep: that command has blanked, formatted and burned iso before. | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | before hand perhaps | 00:17 |
| Ponch0 | Dr_Willis: How? | 00:17 |

| sisterFister | Dr_Willis: the bios does not show it | 00:17 |
| Ponch0 | Dr_Willis: I've formatted with gparted and it's still there. | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: gparted can delete partions if thats what you want. | 00:17 |
| Ponch0 | It doesn't actually erase the data | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: formating what exactly? | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | sisterFister: It sounds like you have a hardware problem then. | 00:18 |
| Ponch0 | the harddrive | 00:18 |
| Ponch0 | deleting the partitions with gparted doesn't actually free up that space | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: use gparted. delete all the partions.. you ARE using the 'apply changes' button? | 00:18 |
| Ponch0 | Dr_Willis: I am lol | 00:18 |
| sisterFister | Jordan_U: Dr_Willis could it be that the drive is not formatted properly or would it show up in bios even if that were the case? | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen people not relaise that button is there. ;) | 00:18 |

| zeep | gimli_: dd will write over w/e is there, but if it's not working i'd recommend formatting it | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: you want to erase the whole disk? or just a few parttions? | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | sisterFister: It would show up in both your BIOS and in GNU/Linux no matter what bits are stored on the drive. | 00:19 |
| gimli_ | zeep: what would the command for that be? it has an old iso on it now. | 00:19 |
| Ponch0 | Dr_willis: Well I had to reinstall ubuntu and it kind of puts the old partitions in the back of the disk and just installs in new space | 00:19 |
| sisterFister | Jordan_U: well it was a 65 dollar SSD. I think I ruined it when i was trying to install linux lite on it once. | 00:20 |
| Ponch0 | So each installation my hdd has less and less space. | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: you could just try fdisk to delete the partions then be sure to write the changes. | 00:20 |
| charlie | Dont you have to set the Bios to acsi for a ssd | 00:20 |
| tom_ | hello everyone | 00:20 |
| Ponch0 | Dr_Willis: Lol ok thanks, next install i'm going to look into dd, I hate to use drastic measures but it seems there's no other way to actually free up the space | 00:21 |
| zeep | go into custom and manage the partitions by hand | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: use tge gparted live cd perhaps. Ive neer had gparted not do its job. Could be some odd quirk. or error going on | 00:21 |
| crankharder | ntp continues to not keep my clock in sync. syslog is showing a PID permissions error when I restart ntp (which starts as user ntp) but no other logging about syncing the clock: https://gist.github.com/crankharder/505fc3000fd6272b0363#file-gistfile1-txt-L3 | 00:21 |
| crankharder | any ideas why there'd be a perm error on that pid file? | 00:22 |
| Ponch0 | Dr_Willis: Usually when I reinstall, I use gparted after booting into live cd | 00:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Ponch0, I would post evidence of all this really for solid help, and be sure to use a live cd when using gparted to delete, I can't really tell if you have. | 00:22 |

| wilee-nilee | Ponch0, Are you removing extended partitions with logicals still inside? | 00:22 |
| Ponch0 | wilee-nilee: I'm not sure what that means, so I guess maybe I am missing something. | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: gparted has an actual offical 'gparted live cd' i use a lot. it dosent auto mount stuff and tends to be more up tp date with the gparted releases | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Ponch0, I suspect your technique is incorrect here. | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Ponch0: if a filesystem is IN USE then gparted cant change it. and the live cd can automount partions :) | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | so that can cause issues | 00:23 |
| Ponch0 | Dr_Willis: thank you for that, I have to get that. | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | fdisk wont care. | 00:24 |
| Ponch0 | all right thank you guys. | 00:24 |
| darkclown | /server 124.105.172.94:3333 | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | you can delete your / partion with fdisk and the system will say.. OK.. ;) then crash a little bit later | 00:24 |
| zeep | you can install gparted on the live cd provided you have enough free ram | 00:24 |
| wilee-nilee | zeep, gparted is on the live cd | 00:24 |
| fmedina | ok, in case anyone else encounterd video not playing back after upgrade to 13.10, turns out I had to: sudo chown your_user_here /run/user/1000/pulse | 00:24 |

| Ben64 | alainus: it might be in 14.04, but thats still months away | 00:46 |
| bekks | alainus: because kernel package will only be updated to major versions in case of heavy breakers - security fixes are applied to the same major version as the initial version. | 00:46 |

| Guest38418 | hi all i have two monitors on 12.04 but the second monitor does not show up in setting-displays, but if i upgrade to 12.10 it will work. so is there a package that i need that i do not have by default with 12.04 | 01:52 |
| apricots | i ubuntu is it possible to share a usb-connected printer over bluetooth? | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest38418, Look on the net for drivers in ubuntu for that monitor. | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest38418, Indentify it in a askubuntu search maybe. | 01:55 |
| Guest38418 | wilee-nilee: i think it might be my xorg.conf, it was set up with one monitor and i just hooked the second one up | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest38418, You were on earlier, what was done there, it would show up I would think at the least, is there even a xorg.conf? | 01:56 |

| gassho | hlo :D | 02:02 |
| xIlluzionx | I am a brand new Ubuntu user, and thus, I am having problems | 02:02 |
| Leroy91 | I'm trying to get my machine to go into standby and wake up on it's own at certain times, which I can do with a simple bash script on a cron job but I'm wondering (since I'm running an enterprise level server) if anyone has been able to reduce fan speed during standby time | 02:03 |
| xIlluzionx | I cannot get my machine to boot | 02:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Leroy91, This a ubuntu server? | 02:03 |
| Leroy91 | even in standby they sound like a wind tunnel and the BIOS has nothing about fan speed | 02:03 |
| Leroy91 | yes | 02:03 |

| Leroy91 | thanks i'll give it a shot | 02:03 |
| Zenith | feros O.o | 02:04 |
| xIlluzionx | I installed Ubuntu Server 13.10 and when it boots and I select "Ubuntu" it goes through boot and then powers off | 02:04 |
| Zenith | are you booting ubuntu off a flashdrive? | 02:04 |
| xIlluzionx | No, I installed off of a flash drive | 02:04 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, Fresh install. in a vm a regular hd, a potato? | 02:05 |
| xIlluzionx | created a bootable usb | 02:05 |
| xIlluzionx | This is a fresh install on a ssd with nothing but ubuntu | 02:05 |

| Zenith | FEROS | 02:05 |
| Zenith | hey Feros | 02:06 |
| Zenith | Mass Effect? | 02:06 |
| xIlluzionx | I will try F12 I suppose | 02:06 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, Be sure the ssd's mbr is where the grub bootloader went, this a dual with W8 perchance? | 02:06 |

| mr-rich-76 | Every time I close my laptop, sound stops working. 13.10 - system76 laptop - any ideas? | 02:07 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, The mbr? | 02:07 |
| xIlluzionx | How can I check that? | 02:07 |
| === HeartNew is now known as Newheart | ||
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, The mbr would be for example sda no partition numbers, we can assume there is no uefi right anywhere? | 02:08 |
| xIlluzionx | When it attempts to loag I see "Grub Version 2.00" at the top of the screen | 02:08 |
| xIlluzionx | Does that answer your question? | 02:08 |
| xIlluzionx | I currently have no way of seeing the partition scheme | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, uefi is rather important to confirm, I have the feeling you are not understanding me. | 02:09 |
| xIlluzionx | I'm not, I apologize | 02:09 |
| xIlluzionx | I am coming from a hackintosh setup if that helps | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, No biggie, we just want make sure we are communicating. | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, That would be outside my area of any knowledge. | 02:10 |
| xIlluzionx | I am fairly technology competent, however checking the mbr is outside my knowledge scope currently | 02:10 |
| wilee-nilee | what little I have lol | 02:10 |
| xIlluzionx | During the install, I said use the full disk, and at towards the end I said add the grub loader to the disk | 02:11 |
| xIlluzionx | I believe I am getting to the grub loader, when the computer boots I get to a black screen with four options | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, The mbr is part of a msdos setup, standard formatting, I'm not sure what you have, so that is important to the channel though. | 02:11 |
| xIlluzionx | This harddrive has never had msdos installed | 02:12 |
| xIlluzionx | I currently have a command screen loaded | 02:13 |
| xIlluzionx | "GNU Grub version 2.00-19ubuntu2" | 02:13 |
| xIlluzionx | I am able to type after "grub>" | 02:13 |
| xIlluzionx | Is that helpful information for further troubleshooting? | 02:13 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx,If the computer has had a gpt setup you may need to make sure any remnants are gone. There is a bootrepair app that will tell us with the bootinfo summary. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair Do you want a msdos is this a standard computer or an apple...etc or a uefi? | 02:13 |
| xIlluzionx | This will be only an Ubuntu server, nothing else. Looking into that application | 02:14 |
| xIlluzionx | It is also just standard hardware | 02:15 |
| xIlluzionx | not apple components | 02:15 |
| wilee-nilee | xIlluzionx, The tool may just fix it, save the bootinfo summary url though. | 02:18 |

| KillSnooki | Hi Everyone :) I have been having serious issues getting Ubuntu installed on both my laptop and desktop (dual-boot) I have been searching the interwebs intensively and at this point I am so confused on what's going on. I boot the Live CD and then select the option to install next to Windows. When I reboot no grub ever loads. I am running ACHI with UEFI if that matters. I just booted and told | 02:24 |
| KillSnooki | it to do a check disk but all I see is a black screen. | 02:24 |
| feros | Any tip on what to use for games? LoL and WoW (sounds silly like that...)? Wine, Crossover or playonlinux? | 02:25 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | KillSnooki | 02:25 |
| ubottu | KillSnooki: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 02:25 |
| wilee-nilee | KillSnooki, and another link. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 resize windows with it's partitioner for the unallocated space for ubuntu. | 02:26 |
| KillSnooki | Thanks Wilee, I have read all over that. I installed Windows in ACHI/UEFI mode it states I should not have any problem. | 02:27 |
| wilee-nilee | I would image windows to have a backup schema in case anything happens. KillSnooki | 02:27 |
| DevZero | i'm trying to resurrect an old dell 2400 for a senior citizen who only wants to surf a few websites...however, the onboard graphics are very buggy on linux and flash (i.e. youtube) is unwatchable. so i want to buy a refurb card for it, but am not sure about compatibility. how does someone know definitively if something is compatible in these situations with older hardware? specifically, i'd like to know if this ca | 02:27 |
| KillSnooki | meh I've reinstalled Windows about 5 times in the last week trying to mess with the MBR and what-not | 02:28 |
| wilee-nilee | KillSnooki, If uefi the mbr does not play out here. | 02:28 |
| KillSnooki | ah, uefi is the new bootloader? I thought uefi was more the BIOS? | 02:28 |
| wilee-nilee | KillSnooki, Yes it is a different bios, the boot is from partitions I believe. | 02:29 |

| thumbee | ive just increase the size of my VirtualBox VM from 8gb to 30gb successfully but im having problems adjusting the size in gparted. where it only still shows the original 8gb. any thoughts? | 02:31 |
| KillSnooki | Okay, the link you provided wilee says to update the UEFI which I understand. When I go to the lenovo y500 drivers for BIOS there's no updates available. Does UEFI have a separate update procedure? | 02:31 |
| wilee-nilee | thumbee, I believe you just make a new container and link it to the vdi. | 02:31 |
| thumbee | can u be more specific. im a newbie | 02:32 |
| wilee-nilee | KillSnooki, No idea really my knowledge in uefi is cursory at best. you might want to know of the bootreapir app as a fixer, and as a it makes a script to use when needing help called the bootinfo summary. | 02:32 |
| thumbee | right now in my gparted it says "/dev/sda5 7.76GiB" and thats the full horizontal bar. (meaning it only sees ths original 8gb allocation) | 02:33 |
| thumbee | *i believe. | 02:33 |
| wilee-nilee | thumbee, The os is installed in a container, a vdi or another depending on how you installed, you make another the size you want and in the preferences attach the OS to it, try #vbox maybe. | 02:34 |

| Dr_Willis | thumbee: that dosent make a lot of sence. :) gparted needs to bee installed by the admin/sudo user id imagine. since you would need to run gparted as root anyway. add the iso to vbox. i imagoue would tell vbox to stick the iso in the virtual cdrom drive | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | lianzinho: i seem to recall there being a way to make sed (or other regular expression engines) use a differnt escape characer. like # for example. that would make the regrexp a bit easier to read/understand | 02:56 |
| lianzinho | Dr_Willis: I've tried, but still not working | 02:57 |
| lianzinho | i've managed to do it using echo piping directly to sed | 02:57 |
| thumbee | Dr_Willis: yes - ahh yees yes. i just figured out what i was doing wrong. and realized what i said didnt make any sense lol. thanks! | 02:57 |

| Dr_Willis | lilstevie: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/407523/escape-a-string-for-sed-search-pattern in the comments mention using charrs other then \ for the escape sequence | 02:59 |
| wilee-nilee | delinquentme, Give some details to the channel than. | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | t's worth noting that you can avoid having to escape the forward slashes by not using them as the delimiters. Most (all?) versions of sed allow you to use any character, so long as it fits the pattern: $ echo 'foo/bar' | sed s_/_:_ # foo:bar | 02:59 |
| SPEEDWAVE | how to install this file hldsupdatetool.bin | 03:02 |

| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: a .bin is a rather useless extension. it means 'binary' and tells us very little.. what is that file supposed to do exactly? | 03:03 |

| kostkon | hmm | 03:24 |
| kostkon | !broadcom | marz, this: | 03:24 |
| ubottu | marz, this:: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 03:24 |
| kostkon | pfff | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | srtfmx: the #ubuntu-server channel may know if its even possible. #networking might. | 03:24 |
| garcianc_ | srtfmx, have you looked at something like this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot | 03:24 |
| marz | kostkon: Yes it is | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | i cant recall ever seeing a ftp server used as net-boot type setup I would think the limitaions of ftp would cause problems | 03:25 |
| kostkon | marz, all repos are enabled? also check in the 3d party software tab | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | tftp just grabs the initial kernel and initrd i thought. | 03:25 |
| srtfmx | I have looked it all and tried every possible thing which i can think off .Nothing is working. | 03:25 |
| thumbee | ugh. i finally got a new 'drive' added and when i try to drag files into the folder i dont have permission. can someone point me to how thats done. its called "/dev/sda3" mounted on "/media/sda3" | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !permissions | thumbee | 03:26 |
| ubottu | thumbee: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 03:26 |
| srtfmx | Yes i have looked at that link it tell us how to do it via nfs not via ftp | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | thumbee: if its ext2.3.4 then you need to chown/chmod the mountpoint or directories inside the filesystem to allow your user access | 03:26 |
| garcianc_ | not nfs, tftp | 03:27 |
| marz | kostkon: Yes, under the Other Softwares tab, the "Provided by third-party" is checked | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | thumbee: the same permissions rules apply if its a local folder. or a mounted filesystem. (as long as the filesystem supports the linux permissions) | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | thumbee: if you are using ntfs/vfat - then you have to change permissions in a differnt way | 03:27 |
| srtfmx | yes tftp just grab the initial kernel and initrd and then i am trying to grab remaining files via ftp which is not happening | 03:28 |
| kostkon | marz, reboot, try to enable it again, if you get the same message, then open a terminal and give: gedit /var/log/jockey.log then paste its contents on paste.ubuntu.com and paste here the url of the paste | 03:28 |
| marz | kostkon: okay, just a minute | 03:29 |
| delinquentme | if I'm sticking /home on one partition and the rest of my ubuntu install on another | 03:30 |
| delinquentme | how much of a 1TB HD do I want dedicated to each? | 03:30 |
| silverf0x | anyone can help me with uefi boot? | 03:31 |
| silverf0x | i just updated mine UEFI and cant boot on ubuntu | 03:31 |
| thumbee | finally got it. lol sudo chown -R user1:user1 /media/sda3 xD | 03:32 |
| thumbee | success | 03:32 |
| thumbee | lol | 03:32 |
| Ben64 | delinquentme: I have a 64GB / partition, 38GB of that is /home, and i have 9GB free | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | delinquentme: for / id use at least 30gb. some people get by with less.. but ive definatly filled up 20gb / befor. | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | delinquentme: 50-100 would be even safer | 03:33 |
| garcianc_ | srtfmx, I think that previous link might have been missing the step that tells you to copy the netboot install files to your tftp directory. This other link might show you a couple of more options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | delinquentme: be very very carefull if making a seperate /boot/ partion that you dont fill it up. use of a /boot/ partion is only needed in some cases these days | 03:33 |
| SPEEDWAVE | mesa-9.1.7.tar.gz how to install this in terminal using ubuntu12.04 | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | delinquentme: so / of 30-100gb. some swap partion, rest for home. | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: if its source code you compile it.. | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: and i imagine that will be quite a task. | 03:34 |
| srtfmx | garcianc: i have copid my netboot install files to that directory but the problem is that it is not able to up my eth0 and i dont know why is this happening | 03:34 |
| srtfmx | garcianc_ : i am able to download the kernel and initrd via tftp over the network but after that the eth0 kind of dies out and is never able to get ip again from dhcp | 03:35 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, i don't know if this a source code? | 03:35 |
| garcianc_ | I have had that problem before with pxe booting. Somehow it wants to use eth1. Are you able to manually bring up the interface? | 03:36 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, i want to update my mesa in intel driver do you think this is the roght updates as of 2013 mesa-9.1.7.tar.gz | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: dont get mad.. but i think you may be needing to learn to walk. befor you run. Extract the archive and look at the files in it. | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: i imagine trying to compile/install that will break things for you | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: there are ppa's with newer intel drivers. (the xorg - xedgers ppa) and intel has its 01.org site for newer drivers | 03:37 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, ah.. i see ok | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: either of those can also break things. :) | 03:38 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, thanks | 03:38 |
| zero_coder | hello | 03:38 |
| silverf0x | i just updated mine UEFI and cant boot on ubuntu | 03:38 |
| zero_coder | my os is getting stuck at times | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: why do you think you need to install newer stuff? | 03:38 |
| srtfmx | garcianc : no i am not able even to get it manually up.All tutorial is on nfs and i want to use ftp and i am stuck | 03:39 |
| thumbee | kindda silly question. but how do i change the ubuntu desktop gui folder to show files in "detail view" (reference to windows detailed view format) | 03:39 |
| thumbee | as oppose to icons :P | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | srtfmx: i cant even find any guides mentiong that its possible to do it over just ftpo. | 03:39 |
| garcianc_ | srtfmx, the nfs vs. ftp issue is different than your interface issue | 03:39 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, is that avaible in synaptic package manager? | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | thumbee: what ubuntu release? Nautiuls changes a bit from release to relase | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: PPA's are not in the default package manager repostories | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppa | SPEEDWAVE | 03:40 |
| ubottu | SPEEDWAVE: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| thumbee | ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64 | 03:40 |
| srtfmx | Dr-Willis : yes me too also not able to find any guide that it is possible or not. | 03:40 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, i don't know b'coz i just want to play my game in ubuntu ok.. | 03:40 |
| msdw01 | Anyoen know about zpanel | 03:40 |
| === robot is now known as Guest80062 | ||
| Dr_Willis | srtfmx: its possible that its not possible. ;) | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !info zpanel | 03:41 |
| ubottu | Package zpanel does not exist in saucy | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !find zpanel | 03:41 |
| ubottu | Package/file zpanel does not exist in saucy | 03:41 |
| msdw01 | zpanel for 12.4 | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: and what game is this? | 03:41 |
| srtfmx | garcianc: yes i know that both are different issue but i am not able to pin point my exact problem :( | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | msdw01: is it in the repositories? | 03:42 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, Dota 2 B'coz my hero is invisible in steam | 03:42 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, and i think my graphics is kinda low update i guess? | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: theres no guarentees that newer intel drivers may fix a game bug. | 03:42 |
| srtfmx | Dr_Willis: yes it is possible that its not possible but i am unable to find a reference for it even | 03:42 |
| garcianc_ | srtfmx, without a network interface up you will not be able to do a net install. The boot image comes from tftp, but the netboot install will get the packages from the internet repositories. | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: if you feel brave. try that PPA. or the o1.org | 03:42 |
| msdw01 | actually ive ran the auto install script but it says its installing but nothing | 03:42 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis,Uhmmm... ok i will try that is that not that harmful? hehehe | 03:43 |
| thumbee | problem is i dont even know what its called. ie. google "ubuntu desktop file view" -_-; ? like i want to see file size beside files in desktop view lol | 03:43 |
| srtfmx | garcianc: i have a pxe server on a centos 6 machine which is running dhcp server to give ip tftp service and vsftpd to transfer remaining files | 03:43 |
| mheinke | hows the party? | 03:44 |
| bl4ckdu5t | Trying to update wine and I did "sudo apt-get update wine" | 03:44 |
| Kryptis3 | I need some opinions. I seriously have no idea what to do. Should I switch to 13.10 or stay on ubuntu 13.04? | 03:44 |
| Ben64 | bl4ckdu5t: thats not how that command works | 03:44 |
| bl4ckdu5t | I think I'm doing it wrong | 03:44 |
| wilee-nilee | bl4ckdu5t, That is incorrect a regular update would do it if available. | 03:44 |
| SchrodingersScat | bl4ckdu5t: you meant sudo apt-get ; wine | 03:45 |
| Ben64 | Kryptis3: you'll need to upgrade before january or you'll lose support | 03:45 |
| mheinke | bl4ckdu5t, sudo apt-get upgrade** | 03:45 |
| SchrodingersScat | er | 03:45 |
| srtfmx | garcianc: all the netboot files are in tftp's directory and my client machine is able to fetch them via the ip given by dhcp but when its time to fetch the remaining files to install the remaining things it just dies out | 03:45 |
| bl4ckdu5t | ok I do my regular updates to tho | 03:45 |
| mheinke | update just checks whether new packages are available | 03:45 |
| Ben64 | bl4ckdu5t: wine will be included in normal updates | 03:45 |
| mheinke | upgrade actually..upgrades | 03:45 |
| Kryptis3 | Ben64 I am also contemplating if I should switch to another distro instead of updating to 13.10 | 03:46 |
| Ben64 | Kryptis3: thats not really a question for #ubuntu | 03:46 |
| srtfmx | garcianc: is it possible that the problem lies in the initrd file and it is corrupted or not compatible with my setting or something like that bcoz my eth0 interface seem to work fine | 03:46 |
| bl4ckdu5t | also, I want to be able to switch from unity to kde at anytime and switch back easily. How do I go about this? | 03:46 |
| SPEEDWAVE | ubottu, ok i will check that and read those in the link hope it helps me.. | 03:46 |
| ubottu | SPEEDWAVE: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: the xorg edgers ppa sould be easier to install/remove.. No idea about the 01.org drivers from intel | 03:46 |
| zero_coder | what is the best way to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 | 03:46 |
| zero_coder | ?? | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | zero_coder: a clean install. | 03:47 |
| Kryptis3 | Ben64 I needed an opinion and I went to Ubuntu, for me it only seems logical from my standpoing. | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | zero_coder: but you can backup, then try the release upgrade method. | 03:47 |
| mheinke | i did a straight upgrade and it worked great | 03:47 |
| Kryptis3 | standpoint* | 03:47 |
| Ben64 | Kryptis3: we might be biased here towards ubuntu | 03:47 |
| mheinke | 13.04 -> 13.10 worked like a charm | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | we see a lot of upgrade issues in here.. but thats because this is where people come when they have issues. | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | I also upgraded with no issues. :0 | 03:48 |
| zero_coder | Dr_Willis, my ubuntu is becoming unresponsive at times | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | otheres have not been so lucky | 03:48 |
| mheinke | Kryptis3, depends on your knowledge of linux | 03:48 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, ok i check it too | 03:48 |
| garcianc_ | srtfmx, that sounds much more complicated than my gut feeling tells me. You might want to double-check your DHCP configuration. | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | zero_coder: may as well do a clean new install. if you can. | 03:48 |
| Kryptis3 | mheinke, I have good knowledge of ubuntu. | 03:48 |
| mheinke | thats not the question | 03:48 |
| Kryptis3 | linux in general | 03:48 |
| KillSnooki | I am trying to install Ubuntu onto the lenovo y500 following the instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/272570/unable-to-install-ubuntu-on-lenovo-y500/290358#290358 I just whiped my drive and changed the grub.cfg try ubuntu file to text only. When I try to boot it get's stuck at fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs EFI VGA - removing generic driver | 03:48 |
| mheinke | are you comfortable rolling / compiling your own kernal? | 03:48 |
| zero_coder | Dr_Willis, okay | 03:48 |
| Kryptis3 | mheinke, Oh... not really... | 03:48 |
| bl4ckdu5t | I will like to know if 'apt-get install kubuntu' is enough for me to have kde running | 03:48 |
| qin | Kryptis3: Most of distros are blessed with live verion to try... | 03:49 |
| bl4ckdu5t | then will it be possible for me to switch back to unity at will | 03:49 |
| mheinke | can you get around without a graphical display? | 03:49 |
| anonymous__ | is anyone here? | 03:49 |
| Kryptis3 | mheinke, Yes. | 03:49 |
| srtfmx | garcianc_ : it is just giving ip telling ip of tftp machine and the name of the file .Nothing else | 03:49 |
| mheinke | you might want to try arch | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | bl4ckdu5t: 'kubuntu-desktop' is the full kubuntu setup. try kde and see if it gives you a useable desktop | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | bl4ckdu5t: you select the desktop to use at the login screen (lightdm) | 03:49 |
| garcianc_ | srtfmx, does the machine ever boot the image? | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | bl4ckdu5t: its trivial to have several *-desktop packages installed at the same time. ;) | 03:50 |
| anonymous__ | i am new here. .:D | 03:50 |
| mheinke | Kryptis3, i love ubuntu, its my go-to distro, but arch is fun and fast and allows you more freedom..more like a poweruser distro | 03:50 |
| mheinke | its worth trying | 03:50 |
| anonymous__ | may i ask some question is there metasploit in anon-OS | 03:51 |
| anonymous__ | ? | 03:51 |
| Kryptis3 | mheinke, I've tried Arch but I don't like it very much. | 03:51 |
| srtfmx | garcianc_ the machine just fetch kernel and initrd image but the same setting works perfectly fine when i do this to boot a centos image remotely | 03:51 |
| wilee-nilee | anonymous__, This is ubuntu support. | 03:51 |
| starkiller | i need hellllp lol | 03:51 |
| mheinke | Kryptis3, aww :P ok, well then you can go further down that path with slackware or gentoo..or go back to debian/ubuntu/mint | 03:51 |
| anonymous__ | hi there wilee-nilee | 03:51 |
| garcianc_ | srtfmx, sorry for not understanding but when you say that it fetches the kernel, does that mean that it boots? are you getting to a point where you can do something? | 03:52 |
| Dr_Willis | good old linux-from-scratch for those that want to spend all day reading a manual and watching code compile ;) | 03:52 |
| mheinke | LFS++ | 03:53 |
| qin | haha | 03:53 |
| KillSnooki | All day for you, all season for me ;) | 03:53 |
| starkiller | i love xubuntu, i have it on 3 computers:P but i have an old celeron 1.20 processor and 300 ram | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | the Linux-from-scratch book IS handy to read. if nothing else - you learn a bit about how things are setup on a typical linux system. and what differnt packages do | 03:53 |
| mheinke | im running 13.10 on a HP elitebook (quad I7 8gb ram) i love it! | 03:53 |
| * wilee-nilee whistles "no one knows the trouble I have seen" | 03:53 | |
| srtfmx | garcianc_ yes i do get to a point where i can select language country and such thing but when it go on to configuring eth0 interface it just dies out | 03:54 |
| Kryptis3 | mheinke, I do like debian based distros... But ubuntu is not fitting my needs, Mint doesn't like my computer for some odd reason. | 03:54 |
| starkiller | and i need an os for it:P | 03:54 |
| mheinke | Dr_Willis, have they come out with an updated manual? | 03:54 |
| mheinke | Kryptis3, how about debian? | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mheinke: not noticed. :) they come out with somthing eveyr year or so. ;) just changes version #'s i imagine | 03:54 |
| mheinke | or Kryptis3 there is an ubuntu deriv out there running Enlightenment Environment | 03:55 |
| mheinke | i forget the name | 03:55 |
| Kryptis3 | mheinke, I have tried it. By chance do you know any other debian distros? | 03:55 |
| Kryptis3 | mheinke, I think you are thinking about Bodhi Linux. | 03:55 |
| mheinke | Kryptis3, what are you looking for? | 03:55 |
| KillSnooki | (Same edits as listed in step 3. Also on my install Ubuntu was on the 8th partition /dev/sdb8. Yours may vary so check it first!) How can I check which partition the installed used in text mode? | 03:55 |
| mheinke | what is the itch you are trying to scratch? | 03:56 |
| lotuspsychje | Kryptis3: did you try E17 on ubuntu yet? | 03:56 |
| starkiller | is there something like xubuntu compatible for a p3 1.20 processor:P? | 03:56 |
| mheinke | starkiller, Damn Small Linux | 03:56 |
| kostkon | starkiller, how much ram? | 03:56 |
| zero_coder | ubunutu is getting unresponsive at time | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | starkiller: for low low end machines. You might want to check into Puppy Linux and its old-legacy variants | 03:56 |
| xangua | starkiller: there is Lubuntu, is the ubuntu flavor that uses less resources | 03:56 |
| mheinke | MacPup :P | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | starkiller: lubuntu is as light as normal ubuntu gets | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | does a P3 even support PAE? | 03:57 |
| Kryptis3 | mheinke, Lightweight, fully customizable, able to handle multiple desktop environments. | 03:57 |
| kostkon | Dr_Willis, yes. even p2 | 03:57 |
| kostkon | starkiller, lubuntu should be ok | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Kryptis3: those goals are often opposites of each other. ;) | 03:57 |
| mheinke | Kryptis3, sounds like Crunchbang | 03:57 |
| starkiller | i seen puppy and damn small lunix, wow thanks guys ill try lubuntu right nwo:P | 03:57 |
| kostkon | starkiller, lubuntu yeah. p3 is not that old | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | starkiller: whats your ram in that box? | 03:58 |
| kostkon | starkiller, and 1.2ghz is fast enough | 03:58 |
| lotuspsychje | !info E17 | Kryptis3 | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Kryptis3: Package E17 does not exist in saucy | 03:58 |
| starkiller | 300 ram | 03:58 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm | 03:58 |
| garcianc_ | srtfmx, sorry, I am stumped. I have run a bunch of distros over pxe before and never ran into that. The closest thing was with Slitaz wanting the interface to be eth1 after boot. | 03:58 |
| kostkon | starkiller, hmm | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | starkiller: 300mb? it would be a big benifit to track down more ram. | 03:58 |
| Kryptis3 | lotuspsychje, What? | 03:58 |
| Kryptis3 | ubottu I'm not using Saucy. | 03:59 |
| ubottu | Kryptis3: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Kryptis3: seems like they removed enlightment | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Kryptis3: ubottu is a bot.. | 03:59 |
| starkiller | well ram its like 25 bucks and im gonna sell this pc for 50 dollarsa lol | 03:59 |
| srtfmx | garcianc_ : can you tell me what setting you used to do this . Is it via ftp or nfs or http | 03:59 |
| Kryptis3 | lotuspsychje, I don't use enlightenment. | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | i have a pile of old ram chips from dead pc's :) | 03:59 |
| Kryptis3 | Dr_Willis, I was not aware of that. | 03:59 |

| garcianc_ | if you are just booting the image, all you need is tftp. If you want to do a net install, then the only method I have tried before is the netboot where all the installation files are downloaded from the internet repositories (http) | 04:00 |
| KillSnooki | I am so sorry but can someone help me pretty please? I am following a guide to install ubuntu on my lenovo y500. I booted into text with nomodeset and need to find where ubuntu was installed to mount it and edit the grub.conf | 04:00 |

| Dr_Willis | KillSnooki: a dirty way i installed to a problem system once was to do a 'full' install to a 8gb flash drive.. then using a 2nd text only live usb to boot.. imaged with 'dd' that 8gb flash onto the hd of the the problem pc. I then had a text mode boot on the problem pc. i could also ssh in and try to fix the other issues the box had. | 04:34 |
| femian | Hello how are. See, I want to install the xubuntu 12.04.3 but when I get to the part you see the operating system is installed and the other partition, it tells me that there is no operating system installed and does not show me the other partition, such that the disk is empty, but in reality if I have installed and another partition so, know how I can fix? | 04:34 |
| Guest38418 | i also noticed that 13.10 if i install and log in, it will fail to load a gnome desktop, and display an error message that only lets me report the issue | 04:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest38418: i rarely have dual monitor issues with my nvidia-driver systems. I dont know what the open sourced drivers support in that area | 04:34 |

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 05:24 |
| scottalan | I've been doing some reading and looking at the logs but can't seem to pinpoint the problem | 05:25 |
| lotuspsychje | scottalan: maybe describe what specific filtering you looking for? | 05:26 |
| cortexA9 | ok lotuspsychje thanks | 05:27 |
| cortexA9 | so 13.10 is not compatible right ? | 05:27 |
| cortexA9 | with all notebooks.. | 05:27 |
| linu | hi i just converted a png to ppm by mogrify -format ppm *.png and replace it into drivers/video/logo/ in kernel it shows the folowing error http://pastebin.com/UzTV5jB1 can you help me | 05:28 |
| scottalan | lotuspsychje: just basic filtering for now. ssh, samba, a few ports. Is that what you mean by filtering? Just allow/deny for now | 05:29 |
| lotuspsychje | scottalan: you have no router firewall enabled that could fight with iptables? | 05:30 |
| msdw | scottalan: have you checked the ubuntu manual it does give you examples | 05:31 |
| lotuspsychje | cortexA9: 13.10 can work for your device but might need some tuning | 05:31 |
| linu | http://pastebin.com/UzTV5jB1 anybody know ? | 05:31 |
| scottalan | lotuspsychje: didn't think of that. I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip | 05:31 |
| msdw | linu: use the command that is tells you | 05:32 |
| linu | msdw, pnmnoraw ? | 05:32 |

| Dr_Willis | sam113101: if a newly made user works.. and the old user has issues.. that points to a setting issue with the problem user. you could clean out/remove old config files untill you reset enogh settings back to default and it should start working. | 05:35 |
| cortexA9 | because i very need the suspend mode.. | 05:35 |
| cortexA9 | please help me | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | theres also hibernate instead of suspend.. I dont use either mode | 05:37 |
| cortexA9 | how to fix suspend mode.. | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | My rather modest netbook boots to ubuntu in less then 60 sec. | 05:37 |
| cortexA9 | mmm | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | suspend issues i imagine have a lot of threads on askubuntu.com and the forums. | 05:37 |
| cortexA9 | oh | 05:38 |
| cortexA9 | on HP ? | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | on Laptops and netbooks and even some desktops.... | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | on EVERYTHING. ;) | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | theres to much varity in the hardware | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | some work.. some dont. some semi-work | 05:39 |
| cortexA9 | Dr_Willis: that's bad :( | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | i never use or really need suspend or hibernate. | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | even on windows. | 05:42 |
| cortexA9 | Dr_Willis: because you shut down right everytime right ? | 05:42 |
| cortexA9 | Dr_Willis: because you shut down everytime right ? | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | desktop machines have 4+week uptimes... laptops - boot up in under 60 sec. | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | I think suspend might work on this netbook.. but im not sure. I have a swap file. not a swap partition | 05:43 |

| Dispatch | Hello. How would I install ubuntu-non-native-extras ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs (since medibuntu is no longer being hosted)? | 05:48 |
| Dispatch | in ubuntu 13.10 | 05:48 |
| cortexA9 | because i need a linux system installed. | 05:48 |
| cortexA9 | dual booting | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | i dident even have a swap file or partion on my desktop box for months. ;) | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Dispatch: ive not needed w32codecs in.. ages... | 05:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Dispatch, mediabuntu had the libdvdcss2 the restricted-extras are in the repos, you can still install the other. | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu-restricted-extras and i can play anything ive ever found | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | libdvdccs and run that script it includes.. for dvd playback. | 05:49 |
| Dispatch | E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-non-native-extras | 05:49 |

| Dr_Willis | ive never recall ever using ubuntu-non-native-extras | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | never ever. ;) | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | in my ages of ubuntu ussage. | 05:50 |
| cortexA9 | because i lost many time with unstable system hehe | 05:50 |
| wilee-nilee | Dispatch, make sure the partners is open and run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:50 |
| cortexA9 | i need one stable | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | cortexA9: use LTS release if you dont want to upgrade in the near future. or the latest release if you want to stay with the newest packages. | 05:50 |
| cortexA9 | i like upgrading my system. | 05:51 |
| cortexA9 | i think i use 14.04 repositories :P | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | then you have answered the question as to what release to install it seems | 05:51 |
| Dispatch | Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/fVnigTTZ | 05:51 |
| cortexA9 | after 13.10 | 05:51 |
| wilee-nilee | Dispatch, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs What release are you running the ones in that link are eol, at least 10.04 the desktop s and the other fully. | 05:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Dispatch: notice the years that post mentions? its over 3 years old | 05:53 |
| cortexA9 | maybe with 14.04 the suspend mode work Dr_Willis :P | 05:53 |
| Dr_Willis | cortexA9: no idea. doesnt matter to me one way or the other. | 05:53 |
| Dispatch | I know this Dr_Willis | 05:53 |
| Dr_Willis | ive not needed w32codecs or medibuntu in years. | 05:54 |
| cortexA9 | Dr_Willis: you have problems of wifi or something ? | 05:54 |
| cortexA9 | *had | 05:54 |
| leif_ | is there a ubuntu app for sever stuff | 05:55 |
| Dispatch | cortexA9 I accidently removed my dnsmasq-base package once... oops | 05:55 |

| Dr_Willis | cortexA9: i have very few hardware issues in ubuntu. | 05:55 |
| Dr_Willis | leif_: thats a little vague | 05:55 |
| Kamilion | Dr_Willis: assuming you're not using netflix? | 05:55 |
| IanHernandez | Is Codename here? | 05:55 |
| leif_ | apatche joomla etc | 05:55 |

| Kamilion | leif_: juju | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Kamilion: i have netflix working on ubuntu | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | !netflix | 05:56 |
| ubottu | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 05:56 |
| Dispatch | as in what leif_ like hosting a server? creating a server? what type of server? mysql? postgres? apache2? | 05:56 |
| msdw | Dispath: you want to install server programs or qhat | 05:57 |
| msdw | what | 05:57 |
| Dispatch | not me msdw | 05:57 |
| Dispatch | ^^^^^^ | 05:57 |
| sam113101 | Dr_Willis: could it be that?: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/sam/.compiz/session/1022aa078c17b270cd138302971146482800000015610031" | 05:57 |
| leif_ | yeah hosting a joomla sever whit apacthe msql that king | 05:57 |
| Kamilion | Dispatch: that might help -- since the primary reason for moonlight was netflix. | 05:57 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: IO = input output. could be the file is bad. | 05:57 |
| sam113101 | it doesn't exist | 05:57 |

| msdw | leif: install the lamp server | 05:58 |
| sam113101 | what are these files used for, anyway? | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: you could go hardcore and move all your config and other .* dirs in your home to some backup directory and reset everything back to defaults then move back what dirs you need | 05:58 |
| msdw | then intall joomla | 05:58 |
| sam113101 | but that's quite time consuming | 05:58 |
| Dispatch | what I'm trying to do is play mms streams in ubuntu | 05:58 |
| Kamilion | aka, view streaming internet video, likely with microsoft DRM applied. | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Dispatch: i recall using vlc to play mms streams. or streamtuner, or tunapie | 05:59 |
| Kamilion | i used to have good results with asfrecorder | 05:59 |
| Kamilion | but it's rare to find an stream without DRM turned on from a commercial source, these days... | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | other then Public Radio. ;) i cant think of any streams i listen to. | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | or the various shoutcast radio stations | 06:01 |
| Kamilion | ah, audio stream. I've had good results with totem and shoutcast; but I don't know of any mms:// audio streams anymore, unless it's from one of those '100000 channel free television' applications on windows. | 06:02 |
| KillSnooki | Well, another 12 hours waste trying to get ubuntu to install unsuccessfully. | 06:02 |

| Dispatch | gd-mf-ss-bwnm-cs-sob | 06:04 |
| KillSnooki | Isn't all hardware issues configuration issues? :) My issue is that I am completely new to Ubuntu and trying to install it on a laptop with sli video cards into uefi mode and have no clue what I am doing or even how to troubleshoot | 06:04 |
| Dispatch | uuuurrrrrGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH | 06:04 |
| KillSnooki | Soo I am just going through 50 billion pages not understanding anything ;\ | 06:04 |
| Dispatch | will free-tux-tv play mms? | 06:04 |
| Dispatch | in 13.10? | 06:05 |
| Kamilion | KillSnooki: well, there's your first problem. Drop uefi, it's nothing but pain, wait a year or so. | 06:05 |
| Dispatch | or TV-Maxe? | 06:05 |
| nevyn | uefi isn't hard.. it sortof works or it doesn't | 06:05 |
| Kamilion | KillSnooki: there should be no user-discernable differences between running ubuntu on UEFI and 'BIOS' fallback. | 06:05 |
| Kamilion | so unless you're trying to keep windows 8/8.1 and set up some dual boot stuff | 06:06 |
| nevyn | Kamilion: but why mess with it. | 06:06 |
| Kamilion | avoid uefi like the plague | 06:06 |
| KillSnooki | It's a nightmare... | 06:06 |
| nevyn | ubuntu installs on native uefi without problems | 06:06 |
| Kamilion | nevyn: tell that to the person saying 'it's a nightmare'. | 06:06 |
| nevyn | and it lets you boot your win8 without messing about in the uefi setup menu | 06:06 |
| wyattderp | I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 on UEFI standard. | 06:06 |
| dr_willis_ | KillSnooki: i thought yiu had video issues. not uefi idsues | 06:06 |

| FloodBot1 | Dispatch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:07 |
| KillSnooki | The worse part is the very first time I installed ubuntu on it I had everything running great! I wanted to install fedora instead so I could get a 'less user friendly' OS and try to learn more by less working hah | 06:07 |
| KillSnooki | and now nothing works. | 06:07 |
| * Kamilion laughs | 06:07 | |
| Kamilion | yeah, that was probably fedora's 'smarter' uefi scripts mucking around in the uefivars | 06:08 |
| KillSnooki | I cannot get Ubuntu to install under Legacy either though. It goes through and installs but never boots. Grub doesn't install from what I can tell BUT again I have no idea what I am doing ;) | 06:08 |
| Kamilion | sounds like fedora might have enabled secure boot for you. | 06:09 |
| KillSnooki | My BIOS does not have any options for Secure Boot. I've looked for it. My BIOS is pretty lame actually for such a high-end laptop | 06:09 |
| Kamilion | you'll have to go through and purge it's UEFI keys from your UEFI firmware interface -- should find an option around like 'clear enrolled fingerprints' | 06:09 |
| KillSnooki | ooooo, how do I do that? I just ran killdisk and wrote 00's to everything | 06:10 |
| KillSnooki | Would that do it? | 06:10 |
| Kamilion | 'Setup' is different from the UEFI firmware on some systems. And the only f--king way I've found to get into it is by using windows 8's 'shutdown to firmware' thing. >.< | 06:10 |
| Kamilion | i am not aware of another way to trip it, myself, other than pulling any SATA/USB 'disk' devices out of the machine and attempting to boot it; which should drop you into the firmware. | 06:11 |
| Kamilion | is this a Sager or Clevo laptop? | 06:11 |
| KillSnooki | I'm googling to find out how to get into these keys.... I have never heard of them | 06:12 |
| KillSnooki | It's a Lenovo Y500 | 06:12 |
| Kamilion | k. Fedora uses gummiboot for uefi booting; and it tries to enroll keys by default, last I checked in F19 | 06:12 |
| Kamilion | iirc, ubuntu uses 'slim', not gummiboot | 06:13 |
| KillSnooki | Everything went downhill after fedora | 06:13 |
| Kamilion | but I could be mistaken | 06:13 |
| KillSnooki | everything | 06:13 |
| airtonix | oh ok | 06:13 |
| airtonix | run for the hills? | 06:13 |
| Kamilion | i've turned off uEFI after several bad experiences last year. Either works or it doesn't. Once it doesn't, that's it, game over. >.< | 06:13 |
| KillSnooki | I was reading somewhere that uefi helps with ssd's speed | 06:14 |
| Kamilion | cause it's usually because i've pooched the keystore | 06:14 |
| KillSnooki | hah | 06:14 |
| KillSnooki | pooched ;) | 06:14 |
| Kamilion | only boot speed | 06:14 |
| KillSnooki | oh man and does it boot up quick with it. I had Windows 8 and honestly booted in less than 15 seconds | 06:14 |
| KillSnooki | from button to operation | 06:14 |
| Kamilion | uefi basically 'configures memory', brings up multiprocessor, configures the SATA controller, and then boots. | 06:15 |
| Kamilion | usually 0.05 seconds, just enough time for the display backlight to start coming on... lol | 06:15 |
| Kamilion | doesn't even start up the usb controller in quickboot | 06:15 |
| Kamilion | OS gets to handle all that fun stuff over ACPI | 06:16 |
| Kamilion | object is to get the OS dealing with it ASAP | 06:16 |

| Kamilion | and do nothing but things that get to that goal. Thankfully, most modern nvidia and amd graphics chips execute their own boot firmware independantly of their host system and are usually ready to go a few hundred microseconds after power's applied. | 06:18 |
| KillSnooki | oh snap, I turned off uefi and reinstalled. I have a desktop now. I just wonder if I will have the battery problem. I was experiencing issues charging. No matter how drained the battery was ubuntu would say '3 minutes to charge' and basically just try to ruin my battery | 06:18 |
| Kamilion | KillSnooki: go to the 'detail' page of the power graphs and look at the 'current charge rate' | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | KillSnooki: or its just miss-reading the info and doing nothing to your battery | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | from what ive read - its rather hard to 'ruin' a battery in mondern hardware these days | 06:18 |
| jony_easyrider | how can I launch: sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/[file1]and[file2] in a single command? | 06:19 |
| Kamilion | hint: 'power gauges' are usually read only -- the OS is generally not able to write to that device unless it's an apple device with firmware in the battery ;) | 06:19 |
| KillSnooki | I analyzed the graphs last time. Yeah I just unplugged my laptop and at full charge it says only 7 minutes remaining at 100% capacity | 06:19 |
| Kamilion | jony_easyrider: by specifying both files to chmod? | 06:19 |

| Shirakawasuna | I've been having issues with team fortress 2 fps lately (when in groups of people, I get an unplayable frame rate). I think the issue appeared some time around last Friday. I've tried a few different things trying to get it to work, including upgrading to saucy from precise (no luck). One of the things I did on Friday was update the kernel from one 3.8.0 revision to another. I have two questions: 1) Anyone know what's up with | 06:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | my frame rate issue by chance? 2) If I want to install e.g. a 3.8 kernel in saucy without compiling my own, what are my options? | 06:23 |
| Kamilion | try to be as specific as you can. <3 | 06:23 |
| Kamilion | Shirakawasuna: amd or nvidia? I heard some AMD patches were coming in 3.12 | 06:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | Kamaris: nvidia | 06:23 |
| leif_ | join #dansk-gruppen | 06:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | it's strangely dependent on being around crowds - not sure what it means. There must be some effect that appears more often in crowds (like particle effects) | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | i still say avoide ati/amd ;) | 06:24 |
| Kamilion | Shirakawasuna: Please locate a can of compressed air or a source of compressed air that is under 30PSI, and remove the dust from your video card. | 06:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | Not sure if that's possible, it's a laptop :) | 06:24 |
| Kamilion | Shirakawasuna: modern cards have analog limits when they reach thermal | 06:24 |
| yesyayen | hi all, i found size of my ubuntu desktop screen using wnck, but how to find the size of side menu bar and top menu bar, so that i can subtract them out to find total usable screen size. Doing this to place a window by giving screen coordinates | 06:25 |
| Kamilion | remove the dust from your laptop's gpu cooler fins then | 06:25 |
| jony_easyrider | Kamilion, ty | 06:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | Kamilion: I'll try it, but the issue I'm getting seems to crowd-dependent for that to be the case. The instant I exit a crowd my fps shoot up to 60. When I enter a crowd they go to 3. | 06:25 |
| Kamilion | Shirakawasuna: there's a good chance it's clocked itself down ~200mhz and things that were 'playable' before suddenly drop. | 06:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | yeah, could be | 06:26 |
| Kamilion | level geometry is less complex than character models | 06:26 |
| Kamilion | clean that sucker out and performance should return | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | compressed air gentlly applied. ;) dont blow the chips off the MB with 120psi. ;) | 06:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | I turned off 'powermizer' in an attempt to do that, but thermal limits probably aren't controlled by it | 06:26 |
| Kamilion | aye -- 30PSI or lower | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | been there -- done that.. ) | 06:26 |
| Kamilion | correct, thermal limits are hardware preventing powermizer from moving *past* a certain setting | 06:27 |
| Kamilion | those P states are no longer advertised to powermizer | 06:27 |
| Kamilion | likely you got a little peice of lint or cathair that somehow clogged a number of fins solid | 06:27 |
| Kamilion | and it may take a careful disassembly and cleaning to discover and remove. | 06:28 |

I downloaded and installed the appropriate linux-image-generic, linux-headers, and linux-headers-generic packages from precise and installed w/ dpkg, but running dpkg-reconfigure for the nvidia package only builds modules for the saucy kernel. Do you know what's up there? | 06:32 |
| sam113101 | Dr_Willis: the file is ~/.config/dconf/user, but if I get a new one well all of my settings are erased | 06:33 |
| sam113101 | how can I edit it manually? | 06:33 |
| KillSnooki | hrm I will have to get this battery thing sorted out. I need to figure out how to dim my screen especially. I have used up "13%" of my battery in less than 10 minutes | 06:33 |
| Kamilion | Shirakawasuna: i think you'll have to install DKMS (the dell kernel module system), which will automatically build many optional or closed modules/shims for whatever kernel is running. | 06:33 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| Kamilion | such as vmware tools, virtualbox guest additions, nvidia kernel shims, some broadcom ethernet adapters, etc... | 06:34 |
| Shirakawasuna | Kamaris: dkms is installed. Do you mean I need to reboot into the other kernel, then do the reconfigure / reinstall dkms? | 06:34 |
| Kamilion | yes | 06:35 |
| hellyeah | hey | 06:35 |
| Kamilion | dkms should lag on boot while those modules are built | 06:35 |
| hellyeah | how can i cancel screensaver? | 06:35 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 06:35 |
| Kamilion | otherwise the modules will always be built on the running kernel, so far as I remember. | 06:35 |
| Shirakawasuna | cool, I'll try it | 06:35 |
| Shirakawasuna | brb | 06:35 |
| Kamilion | hellyeah: There's usually two -- the screen blanking timeout in the power control panel, and the screensaver. | 06:35 |
| Kamilion | hellyeah: depending on which ubuntu, there may be three or four... screensaver, monitor blank, monitor sleep, monitor off. | 06:36 |
| hellyeah | 13.10 | 06:37 |
| Kamilion | no, i mean, lubuntu/kubuntu/ubuntu/xubuntu | 06:37 |
| hellyeah | just ubuntu | 06:37 |
| Kamilion | http://puu.sh/53AeB.png | 06:38 |
| Kamilion | all i can help with is lubuntu at the moment, sorry. :< | 06:38 |
| hellyeah | no problem | 06:38 |
| hellyeah | what lubuntu use as desktop environment | 06:38 |
| hellyeah | first time i heard lubntu | 06:38 |
| Kamilion | lxde and xfce | 06:38 |
| Kamilion | i added nautilus from gnome and gedit and gnome-terminal | 06:39 |
| hellyeah | lxde that must be new | 06:39 |
| Kamilion | nope, pretty old | 06:39 |
| hellyeah | hmm | 06:39 |
| cfhowlett | hellyeah, the distro is new, but lxde has been around | 06:39 |
| hellyeah | i heard xfc kde gnome fluxbox icewm wmaker | 06:39 |
| Kamilion | since 9.04 at least | 06:39 |
| snadge | how much is it worth to canonical the advertising in the unity dash? .. i hope its worth the dismay / shock to privacy advocates etc | 06:39 |
| Kamilion | i've had lubuntu | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !lubuntu | 06:39 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | wmaker - is old. ;) as is icewm | 06:39 |
| Kamilion | it became official in 10.04 i think | 06:39 |
| Raymii | https://www.digitalocean.com/promos/campaigns/51 - 60 dollar free digital ocean credit | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | snadge: not really On topic here.. and we have heard it all befor. | 06:40 |
| cfhowlett | !spam|Raymii, | 06:40 |
| hellyeah | lubuntu has compiz? | 06:40 |
| Raymii | cfhowlett Nope, it works | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | hellyeah: lubuntu uses openbox last i looked. | 06:40 |
| cfhowlett | Raymii, and it's offtopic ... as you know. | 06:40 |
| Kamilion | hellyeah: desktop effects? No. It has windows, and a taskbar. | 06:40 |
| Kamilion | hellyeah: :) | 06:40 |
| IfSixWasNine | hi, how can i create a cronjob wich gets called every hour between 04:00 and 20:00 daily? (sry for my dumb question) ;) | 06:40 |
| Raymii | cfhowlett Excuse me then. | 06:40 |
| Kamilion | hellyeah: works great in VMs or on machines with 256MB of ram. | 06:41 |
| cfhowlett | hellangel, it's been for low spec and older machines. Less eye candy = more power | 06:41 |
| snadge | yeah fair enough.. im a long term ubuntu user, and normally i use gnome-panel (flashback) .. im not greatly concerned about, but apparently a number of other people are.. i was just wondering if it was worth it to Canonical.. im hoping it is :) | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | IfSixWasNine: make it run at 4,5,6,7,8,9,........20... | 06:41 |
| Kamilion | snadge: hell, i used gnome-fallback for ages, just to get my dang cpu-meter widget | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !cron | 06:41 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto | 06:41 |
| hellyeah | i can try t hat | 06:41 |
| hellyeah | ubuntu is kinda heavy | 06:41 |
| hellyeah | and as far as i understand lxde doesnt have unity thing | 06:42 |
| Kamilion | all i wanted was a freaking cpu meter... and 'ubuntu' didn't have one for unity yet | 06:42 |
| snadge | you mean like the cpu frequency indicator? | 06:42 |
| cfhowlett | hellangel, sudo apt-get install lxde will get you the desktop environment. logout. choose lxde session. login | 06:42 |
| hellyeah | like system monitor? | 06:42 |
| IfSixWasNine | ahh, so when i separate them with , it will take all values, and separate with space "jumps" to the next param? | 06:42 |
| Kamilion | yeah, like system monitor. | 06:42 |
| KillSnooki | !nvidia | 06:42 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 06:42 |
| hellyeah | cfhowlett: i guess you meant hellyeah | 06:43 |
| hellyeah | :D | 06:43 |
| hellyeah | Kamaris: | 06:43 |
| sam113101 | Dr_Willis: how | 06:43 |
| cfhowlett | hellyeah, d'oh! | 06:43 |
| IfSixWasNine | thx for the link Dr_Willis | 06:43 |
| hellyeah | i really like to use panel upper panel and down panel | 06:43 |
| hellyeah | add some small programs like system monitor or force quit | 06:43 |
| Kamilion | http://files.sllabs.com/files/images/nolie.png | 06:43 |
| hellyeah | not it is not possible to do that | 06:43 |
| Kamilion | I loved System-monitor! | 06:43 |
| KillSnooki | The ubuntu restricted drivers for nvidia - will they push sli video cards? | 06:44 |
| hellyeah | i am not the big fan of unity | 06:44 |
| Kamilion | that's why there is choice. But, choice is also painful. Sorry about that. :< | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: how what? i dont even recall the original issue... irc dosent charge by the word... | 06:44 |
| hellyeah | it is a good thing but it is just arthictic side of os :D | 06:45 |
| * Kamilion stares at his irc log folder | 06:45 | |
| hellyeah | Kamilion: what coice | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | hellyeah: a new entry to the desktop catatory in 13.10 is razorqt | 06:45 |
| Kamilion | Dr_Willis: thank god it doesn't.... I'd need to be like... an oil millionare or something | 06:45 |
| * xmetal wonders if it's possible to be "too tired" to go to bed | 06:45 | |
| sam113101 | Dr_Willis: the problem is the dconf folder, as I understand it's some kiof container for settings using key value pairs, how do I read it? | 06:46 |
| sam113101 | I don't want to start with a new one | 06:46 |
| sam113101 | I want to try to fix it manually | 06:46 |
| Kamilion | hellyeah: well, linux, and ubuntu in specific, let you pick between a lot of desktop environments. You don't have to use unity. Buuuut.... you're also not gonna get the 'gpu experience' without it, for the most part. | 06:46 |
| sam113101 | gconf? is that it? | 06:46 |
| Kamilion | not without setting it all up yourself on some other DE | 06:46 |
| Kamilion | I think kubuntu probably has nice acceleration. | 06:47 |
| Kamilion | but I've never tried it, so I couldn't tell you. | 06:47 |
| sam113101 | oh, there is dconf editor | 06:47 |
| hellyeah | let me try lxde | 06:47 |
| hellyeah | i suppose it is kde's esque | 06:47 |
| hellyeah | just an instinct | 06:47 |
| hellyeah | hmm | 06:47 |
| FloodBot1 | hellyeah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:47 |
| Kamilion | hellyeah: it's best to think of ubuntu and linux like a bunch of pancakes, and everyone orders their plate a little different. | 06:48 |
| hellyeah | suppose lxde is kde's esque this is just instict | 06:48 |
| cfhowlett | Kamilion, hmm. ubuntu linux: have it your way. | 06:48 |
| Kamilion | but almost everyone has the plate underneath. (the linux kernel and GNU userland) | 06:48 |
| Kamilion | have it your way, only a couple apt-gets away | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: move it.. see if it fixs the problem.. then you can move it back and go setting by setting init.. and see what the issue is. | 06:49 |
| Kamilion | in some cases, seriously. apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 06:49 |
| KillSnooki | So the best Office to use with Ubuntu is 2007? | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: i regularry clean out all my old settings during beta testing. dosent take me very long to figure out what files does what and what ones to keep | 06:49 |
| Kamilion | KillSnooki: in wine without crossover-office? yeah. | 06:49 |
| KillSnooki | Does crossover-office work pretty well with 2013? | 06:50 |
| Kamilion | with crossover-office, i think 2010 | 06:50 |
| Kamilion | no idea about anything newer | 06:50 |
| sam113101 | I know ~/.config/dconf/user is the problem | 06:50 |
| KillSnooki | ah, I think I bought crossover-office like 10 years ago | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | I will stick with Libreoffice and Abiword. ;) | 06:50 |
| sam113101 | I'm trying to figure out which part of it | 06:50 |
| * Kamilion scoffs | 06:50 | |
| pogiako | hello | 06:50 |
| Kamilion | I'll stick with nano, gedit, and pycharm. :) | 06:50 |
| pogiako | can someone help me, python zlib isnt available where can i get it? | 06:51 |
| Kamilion | i don't need your steenking bold and italics... just syntax highlighting. | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: time to find a dconf file tweaker/editor i guess and spend an hr or 2 and hope ya figure it out. or rename it.. and reset things how you want | 06:51 |
| KillSnooki | Yeah, the problem though is I attend school full time and work full time and when I am at school I need things to work. I will switch over little by little | 06:51 |
| KillSnooki | I cannot live with my OFfice at this time ;\ | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | dconf-editor - simple configuration storage system - utilities | 06:52 |
| Kamilion | pogiako: it's part of python stdlib | 06:52 |
| pogiako | yeah | 06:52 |
| pogiako | it aint there | 06:52 |
| pogiako | trying to startproject with django | 06:52 |
| pogiako | that what it says | 06:52 |
| Kamilion | python-minimal instead of python? | 06:53 |
| pogiako | ide u mean? | 06:53 |
| pogiako | am just using text editor | 06:53 |
| Kamilion | http://puu.sh/53AF2.png | 06:54 |
| pogiako | yeah i got no zlib | 06:55 |
| snadge | im using ubuntu on my work pc.. because fedora wouldn't install.. well done guys ;) | 06:55 |
| pogiako | am using 2.7.5 | 06:55 |
| KillSnooki | !battery | 06:55 |
| KillSnooki | dern, hey Kamilion where should I start to troubleshoot the battery reporting issue? | 06:55 |
| snadge | cheers for releasing something, that actually installs and is useable, and doesn't just completely waste my time.. hehe | 06:55 |
| Kamilion | KillSnooki: uhhh.... Good question. Depends on a few things. | 06:56 |
| KillSnooki | Does ubuntu have to 'learn' how fast your battery discharges or charges? | 06:56 |
| Kamilion | Are you getting any reporting from the battery already? | 06:56 |
| KillSnooki | or should it be accurate from the get-go like Windows? | 06:56 |
| snadge | as a final offtopic point.. i will note that fedora installs perfectly.. in virtualbox running on ubuntu ;) | 06:56 |
| KillSnooki | yup. Started at 100%, 2.2 hours and now it's down to 67% with 1:42 remaining | 06:56 |
| Kamilion | snadge: hint, vmware player works sweeeeeet. | 06:57 |
| Kamilion | little more of a pita than virtualbox-ose to install though ;) | 06:57 |
| * Kamilion aways and rests his brain of #ubuntu for a while | 06:57 | |
| Dr_Willis | KillSnooki: theres known issues with powersaveing/battery life in ubuntu not being near as good as it should be. | 06:58 |
| Kamilion | (you may not realize this, but there are 1700 people in here.) | 06:58 |
| Kamilion | 1699. | 06:58 |
| Dr_Willis | KillSnooki: theres most likely HUGE number of threads on it on the forums and askubuntu.com - the omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites also have some guides on getting better life | 06:58 |
| Dr_Willis | i recall some power-saveing tweaks on the 'X things to do after installing ubuntu...' guides on both sites | 06:59 |
| KillSnooki | yup. I will look again. Right now my main concern is getting the screen dimmer to work. I've installed some program called pommed. We will see how it does ;) | 06:59 |
| Kamilion | note: linux and 'power saving' / 'hibernation' may be hazardous to your mental health. | 06:59 |
| pogiako | can someone help me get zlib? | 06:59 |
| Dr_Willis | apt-cache search zlib | 07:00 |
| Dr_Willis | \install what you need. ;) | 07:00 |
| pogiako | done it | 07:00 |
| Kamilion | pogiako: try apt-get install python-2.7 ? | 07:00 |
| pogiako | ? | 07:00 |
| pogiako | i already have python | 07:00 |
| pogiako | just need the module | 07:01 |
| Kamilion | python-2.7 or python2.7-minimal ? | 07:01 |
| pogiako | 2.7.5 is what i have | 07:01 |
| Dr_Willis | \install what you need. ;)zlib1g - compression library - runtime | 07:01 |

| West | I'm currently learning java in school and I am new to Ubuntu. Is this the appropriate ppa ? ppa:webupd8team/java | 07:02 |
| Dr_Willis | you asked for zlib.. | 07:02 |
| pogiako | yeah | 07:02 |
| West | anything I should be aware of ? | 07:02 |
| Kamilion | pogiako: there are two different python packages... one with some of stdlib stripped, python-2.7-minimal, and python-2.7 | 07:02 |
| pogiako | oh | 07:02 |
| pogiako | so what do I do then? | 07:02 |
| pogiako | i just want the zlib mod | 07:02 |
| pogiako | mod. | 07:02 |
| Kamilion | pogiako: apt-get install python-2.7 | 07:02 |
| pogiako | lol? | 07:02 |
| Kamilion | you have -minimal | 07:03 |
| Kamilion | it comes with ubuntu because the core OS needs it | 07:03 |
| pogiako | so i'll overwrite my python then? | 07:03 |
| pogiako | oh ok | 07:03 |
| pogiako | ty ;) | 07:03 |
| pogiako | i still need to dl i tright? | 07:04 |
| pogiako | right?* | 07:04 |
| Kamilion | yes :< | 07:04 |

| mykal | hi all. anyone point me to some good reading on methods for rdp from win7 to ubuntu 12.04LTS? | 07:04 |
| pogiako | went back to python site and am getting gzipped ;) | 07:05 |
| Kamilion | uhh | 07:05 |
| Kamilion | that's generally not a good idea | 07:05 |
| Dr_Willis | !java | West | 07:05 |
| ubottu | West: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 07:05 |
| Kamilion | the release tarball's been split into... ... something like 80 .deb packages? | 07:05 |

| tfh | hi, i upgraded yesterday, and since then my scroll pad doesn't work anymore. I have an acer aspire timleline. (there is a line on the right of the pad, usually swiping the finger up and down causes the page (like browser for example) to scroll up and down, this isnt working anymore) | 07:25 |
| lotuspsychje | tfh: maybe this can help? http://linuxg.net/how-to-enable-both-natural-scrolling-and-horizontal-scrolling-on-ubuntu-13-10-saucy-salamander-and-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail/ | 07:29 |

| lotuspsychje | tfh: doublecheck dconf settings anyway, to be sure if they are enabled | 07:31 |
| Raymii | Does anybody know how I can fool apt to think a specific package and specific version of that package is installed altough it is not really installed? | 07:31 |
| tfh | lotuspsychje doing now, thanks | 07:31 |
| tarelerulz | I have samsung note 3 and it only shows up in ptp, don't see sd card and I can't seem to trasfer movies off it. It supports mtp , ptp and usb 3. | 07:33 |

| Cliff123 | Hello, I just installed the proprietary NVidia Driver on my Notebook (Kubuntu 13.10) and now my graphics card is running on full power all the time. That means the fan is always on full speed | 07:57 |
| excognac | hi all, morning | 07:57 |
| lotuspsychje | Cliff123: did you have software to modify fan speed? | 07:58 |
| lotuspsychje | excognac: hello mate, what can we do for you? | 07:58 |
| Cliff123 | Well, I have nvidia-settings | 07:58 |
| Cliff123 | but my graphics card doesn't need to run on 700Mhz in desktop mode.. | 07:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Cliff123: is there a bios setting for that fan speed? | 07:59 |
| Cliff123 | and I cant set my fan speed with nvidia-settings | 07:59 |
| Cliff123 | the fan speed isn't the real problem. | 07:59 |
| Cliff123 | whats causing the fan speed is the problem | 07:59 |

| excognac | ikonia: could you please help me now? | 08:02 |
| ikonia | excognac: can certainly try | 08:03 |
| lotuspsychje | excognac: did you check your additional drivers section? | 08:03 |
| excognac | lotuspsychje: well, i tried. | 08:04 |
| auronandace | excognac: how new is the machine you are trying to install 12.04 on? | 08:04 |
| excognac | auronandace: brand new, i did 4-5 fail installs only. | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | normally we see in here - fans running at full speed. untill the nvidia drivers get installed. | 08:04 |
| auronandace | excognac: are you using 12.04 dvd or 12.04.3 (this one would have a more recent kernel) | 08:05 |
| excognac | ikonia: shall i just make a regular 12.04 install on it? (separate /, /home and swap, all primary) | 08:06 |
| excognac | auronandace: 12.04.3 live dvd. | 08:06 |
| Cliff123 | well, it doesn't look like there is an error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6328721/ | 08:06 |
| ikonia | excognac: lay it out how you feel comfortable | 08:06 |
| auronandace | excognac: did your machine come with win8? | 08:07 |
| excognac | auronandace: no. clean machine. i dont use windows. | 08:08 |
| auronandace | excognac: do you know if it uses uefi? | 08:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Cliff123: 966 gives acpi warning, not sure if this is your issue | 08:11 |
| Cliff123 | acpi is responsible for suspend and hibernate, isn't it? | 08:11 |
| C200 | I can't decide if I should buy a Chromebook. | 08:11 |
| auronandace | C200: we can't help you with shopping, this is just for ubuntu support | 08:12 |
| excognac | auronandace: why it cries for EFI /boot partition? | 08:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Cliff123: you checked bios updates for your toshiba? | 08:12 |
| Cliff123 | no I haven't. This is my notebook from work, I won't update the bios ^^ | 08:13 |
| Cliff123 | and it's a fujitsu ;) | 08:13 |
| excognac | at manual install / partition has to be EFI boot partition? not ext4? | 08:14 |
| Dr_Willis | the efi boot partion has its own special type i recall from the efi wiki page. but i think its a fat32 filesystem | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !uefi | 08:15 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | / would be ext4 (normally) /boot/efi is the special kind. (id reread that url i may be wrong) | 08:16 |
| Cliff123 | well, I guess I have to switch to nouveau drivers again and live with it's problems.. | 08:18 |
| Lope | Hi, Normally my USB3 hard drive works perfectly on my USB3 port. Now I've just bought a USB3 hub. I've plugged the USB3 hub into my USB3 port, and plugged my USB3 HDD into the hub. The HDD spins up, but doesn't auto-mount, and I don't see the HDD on lsusb? | 08:23 |
| jeannoel | hi in my gedit bottom panel, the command line is displayed in white, with white background | 08:23 |
| jeannoel | someone knows how to change the colour of that? | 08:24 |
| junktext_ | Lope, depending on your USB hub, not enough power may be going through the hub to reach your hard drive's power requirements. I've had issues like that in the past with other power-hungry USB devices running through hubs or extenders. | 08:25 |
| t38 | excognac: Definitely read thru the URL that Dr_Willis gave you. If you don't have a efi partition available, things will be pretty difficult. As far as the intel video, you should be ok although intel does have a repository for driver installation | 08:26 |
| junktext_ | Lope, can you plug other devices into your USB hub, such as a mouse, and will it work fine? | 08:27 |
| junktext_ | If so, that means your USB hub is working generally, but there still may be a power limiting aspect with more power-hungry equipment. | 08:27 |
| excognac | Dr_Willis: t38 tanks mates, i'm reading it. not sure, but looks like i can just ignore all efi as kubuntu will be the only operating system. i keep reading it | 08:27 |
| Lope | junktext_: ok will try that. I figured if the HDD spins up, which takes more power than just it's electronics. it should at least be visible. I'll try some lower power devices. | 08:28 |
| xgeek-cub | http://askubuntu.com/questions/368364/ssh-connection-refused-after-installin-freenx | 08:29 |
| junktext_ | Lope, also does your USB hub supply its own power supply (i.e., with a separate plug-in transformer to an outlet), or is the USB hub just a simple add-on to one of your PC's USB ports? If it's the latter, I'd assume it's a power limitation. If the hub supplies its own power, it could be another thing on second thought. | 08:30 |

| razzledazzle | how can I make the minimal installed detect my wireless hardware? | 08:32 |
| razzledazzle | *installer | 08:32 |
| lonixxx | Now, finaly i got nick | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | excognac: yep. you can kick in legacy mode and just use that. Im not sure what you gain by useing uefi over legacy.. if anything... | 08:32 |
| lonixxx | Guys, if i have a server with a /dev/sda thats getting full | 08:33 |
| den_ | iki wong ngenbdi | 08:33 |
| Lope | junktext_: I just plugged a flash drive into the USB3 hub. Also absolutely nothing happens. I unplugged the USB3 hub and plugged the flash drive directly into the USB3 port on my laptop. and instantly the flash drive mounts and pops up. | 08:33 |
| lonixxx | can i mount /dev/sdb as i.e. /etc/service somehow | 08:33 |
| excognac | Dr_Willis: basically setting bios legacy/uefi determines how i install os, right? | 08:33 |
| junktext_ | Lope, try also using a non-HDD option to test your USB hub. Such as a mouse to see if there is some reason the hub is either defective or simply not recognized for some reason by the OS. | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | lonixxx: so.. clean out the cruft? | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | lonixxx: you can mount filesystems, wherever you want | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | using a seperate partion/filesystem for /var or /tmp or /home is commonplace | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | excognac: thats how i read it. enable legacy, instgall in legacy mode.. keep it in legacy mode | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | lonixxx | 08:35 |
| ubottu | lonixxx: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 08:35 |
| lonixxx | Im trying to avoid haveing to move content anywhere | 08:36 |
| junktext_ | Lope, also... an old-school trick: Try plugging your USB hub into a different USB port than what you've been plugging it into. Sometimes this gets past weird temporary resource conflicts. | 08:36 |
| excognac | Dr_Willis: and if later on i change my mind, i can set uefi install with a boot-repair disk, i won't need to do the whole installation again, right? | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | excognac: no idea. Im not sure why you would want uefi mode when legacy mode works.. | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | only real reason i see to isntall ubuntu in uefi mode. is if windows is there in uefi mode also | 08:37 |
| junktext_ | Lope, I've gotta get some sleep. I wish you luck! | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | unless ive totally missed a reason for uefi mode. ;) | 08:38 |
| lonixxx | i guess its: Stop service -> move content to temp usb -> mount new drive as /etc/application - move back -> start service for me then | 08:39 |
| Lope | junktext_: okay I've just plugged a keyboard into every port of the USB3 hub. works | 08:40 |
| guest1763836947 | Hello | 08:40 |
| Lope | I've got another USB3 cable thats got 2 USB A plugs on it (for more power) will try that with the HDD in a few mins. have a good night. | 08:41 |
| Lope | thanks. | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | lonixxx: what kind of app is keeping a lot of data in /etc/ ? | 08:41 |
| Lope | BTW I think some USB2 devices really hate USB3. I've noticed 3G modems hate my USB3, and also some USB2 flash drives. | 08:41 |
| t38 | Dr_Willis: That would probably be the only reason not to use legacy | 08:42 |
| === DeepBlue is now known as Guest33899 | ||
| excognac | ikonia: now i'm installing it a legacy mode, no uefi mess. could that cause the problem previously or graphics has nothing to do with uefi? | 08:47 |

| helmut_ | hi | 09:12 |
| excognac | ikonia: yes. i left it as it was, by default screensaver turned on, now it's a messy striped loginscreen | 09:13 |

| ikonia | excognac: ok, what does it look like now you're logged in ? | 09:14 |
| excognac | ikonia: striped messy graphical interface onwhich i cant read things. | 09:15 |
| ikonia | excognac: ok, so it's a total mess. | 09:15 |
| lonixxx | Dr_Willis: its ita home writen-app made befor mytime, and its not etc its /var but it was a example | 09:15 |
| excognac | ikonia: yap. | 09:15 |
| ikonia | excognac: ok, so lets try to force the video card to use "vesa" module, it will be poor performance, but is normally a %100 compatible "fail safe" xorg module | 09:16 |
| ikonia | excognac: from there with a working desktop, we can move foward | 09:16 |
| excognac | ikonia: ok, ow do i dothat | 09:16 |
| ikonia | excognac: I'm guessing you don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:17 |
| auronandace | Lope: nvidia and virtualbox are giving your errors but the warning is about a realtek nic that doesn't have firmware | 09:17 |
| excognac | ikonia: so i go to text mode now | 09:17 |
| ikonia | excognac: seems a logical step | 09:17 |
| Lope | auronandace: how can the realtek NIC not have firmware. surely it should ship with firmware on it? what will happen if I proceed with the kernel upgrade? | 09:18 |
| Mergy | Hi all ! I have a small package problem: apt-get install libgd2 | 09:18 |
| Mergy | http://pastebin.com/v9wme9Mz | 09:18 |
| Mergy | Does anybody would have an idea about how to fix it ? It's the first time I get this ! Thanks :) | 09:18 |
| auronandace | Lope: if you are not using the nic then no problem | 09:18 |
| excognac | ikonia: no i dont have it | 09:19 |
| Lope | I don't use my nvidia GPU. I've got bumblebee installed to just power the GPU down and save power. | 09:19 |
| auronandace | Lope: commencing with the upgrade will probably break your graphics and virtualbox though | 09:19 |
| ikonia | excognac: that's not a bad thing, we need to create it | 09:19 |
| Lope | and I don't care about virtualbox. I use VMWare instead. | 09:19 |
| Lope | the main thing is I want my USB Displaylink adapter to work. | 09:19 |
| den_ | hello | 09:20 |
| Lope | I heard that the 3.9 and 3.10 kernels improve displaylink support and it may just work automagically. | 09:20 |
| auronandace | Lope: sounds like you got your bases covered then (just curious, why have vbox installed if you are not using it?) | 09:20 |
| den_ | FUCK ALL | 09:20 |
| den_ | FUCK ALL | 09:20 |
| excognac | ikonia: ok, i did sudo nano path+name | 09:20 |
| ikonia | excognac: hang on, step back a moment | 09:20 |
| Lope | so I figured if I'm upgrading my kernel I should just go for the newest release which is 3.11.6 | 09:20 |
| excognac | ikonia: kk | 09:21 |
| Lope | auronandace: I installed vbox before I got vmware working. | 09:21 |
| Lope | I should probably uninstall vbox. | 09:21 |
| ikonia | excognac: you've got no X11 desktop running now, correct ? | 09:21 |
| Lope | should I do it now or can I uninstall vbox after the kernel update? | 09:21 |
| auronandace | Lope: why not use the kernel that ships with 13.10? (it uses 3.11) | 09:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Lope: that would be good news. thats those usb-lcd-monitors right? Id recall ags ago they had big problems. | 09:21 |
| excognac | ikonia: how do i check that? | 09:22 |
| Lope | I'm currently on kernel 3.8.11-32 | 09:22 |
| ikonia | excognac: you're in a text mode - no desktop correct ? | 09:22 |
| Lope | I'm running ubuntu 13.04 | 09:22 |
| excognac | ikonia: yes ofc. i'm chatting froma different macine | 09:22 |
| Lope | Dr_Willis: correct :) | 09:22 |
| ikonia | excognac: just checking | 09:22 |
| auronandace | Lope: then why not install 13.10? why do you want to stay with 13.04? | 09:22 |
| ikonia | excognac: run "sudo X -configure" | 09:22 |
| Lope | auronandace: I don't want to have to reinstall everything. | 09:22 |
| Lope | it was such a mission getting everything I have set up. the apache, the samba, the mysql, mongo php you name it. | 09:23 |
| auronandace | Lope: just so you know then, you'll need to maintain the kernel yourself (can't be supported here) | 09:23 |
| Lope | so is 13.04 destined to stay on the old 3.8 kernel forever? | 09:24 |
| auronandace | Lope: sounds like the lts release would have been better for you | 09:24 |
| auronandace | Lope: yes | 09:24 |
| Lope | isn't 13.04 LTS? | 09:24 |
| auronandace | Lope: no | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Lope: you might want to test with a live-dvd of 13.10 and see if they work. | 09:24 |
| auronandace | Lope: anywho, i gotta go | 09:24 |
| Lope | well I read that if I upgrade my kernel I can just hold shift and boot to my old kernel? | 09:25 |
| excognac | ikonia: Fatal server error: server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.xo-lock and start again | 09:25 |
| ikonia | excognac: ok, so that still sounds like you have X11 running | 09:25 |
| ikonia | excognac: how did you go to "text mode" | 09:25 |
| excognac | ikonia: Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 09:25 |
| Lope | okay I'm continuing... | 09:25 |
| Lope | thanks guys. | 09:25 |
| ikonia | excognac: ok, so "sudo service lightdm stop" | 09:25 |
| ikonia | excognac: then try again | 09:26 |
| Lope | time for the big reboot. | 09:26 |
| excognac | ikonia: unrecognized service. it's not installed. yesterday i installed it so i coud use gui. | 09:27 |

| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, but still invisble my hero at dota 2 | 09:30 |
| ikonia | excognac: ok, so that should have lightdm as the display manager | 09:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Mergy apt-cache search libgd2 ... then install the correct package name | 09:30 |
| excognac | ikonia: i have no idea why it doesn't have/doesn't install it. | 09:31 |
| excognac | ikonia: i think it has kdm | 09:31 |
| ikonia | excognac: then it would be "kubuntu" you're using | 09:31 |
| excognac | ikonia: it is indeed kubuntu. | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | SPEEDWAVE: you did look at the steam forums and so forth to see if the issue had been reported? or did you just randomly decide that it was a mesa problem? | 09:31 |
| ikonia | excognac: come on !!! you've got to share this sort of information, you keep saying "ubuntu" - it's not, it's kubuntu | 09:32 |
| Mergy | MonkeyDust: with apt-get install or apt-cache install ? | 09:32 |
| MonkeyDust | Mergy apt-cache seach ... then apt-get install | 09:32 |
| excognac | ikonia: i'm utterly sorry, i think i have told it many times, i haven't repeated it tho. | 09:32 |
| MonkeyDust | search* | 09:32 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, i go there at steam support i try the same problem but not my luck | 09:33 |
| ikonia | excognac: sudo service kdm stop | 09:33 |
| SPEEDWAVE | Dr_Willis, in furom they say mesa should upgrade and everythings ok, but in my part not luck | 09:34 |

| MonkeyDust | Mergy i'm not familiar with that error, i'm no help there | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | and you hit Y ? | 09:41 |
| ShadowLAG | Unfortunately I am on a chromebook and I don't believe I can get a config file from this kernel. This chromebook shares the same specs as the aspire one. | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | vmlinuz-3.11.0* are the kernel names here ShadowLAG | 09:42 |
| ShadowLAG | I support what I am asking is this, when compiling a new kernel it forces me to make a config file from scratch | 09:43 |
| ShadowLAG | I am on a chrome kernel and am needing to update to ubuntu 3.10 supported | 09:43 |
| excognac | ikonia: cool. i found Sections driver only mentioned under stg like Section "Device" Available Driver options are:- and below (for instance) Driver "vesa" | 09:43 |
| ShadowLAG | That being said, if I were to apt-get and install the new kernels | 09:44 |
| ShadowLAG | would they generate a pre-configed bzimage? | 09:44 |
| reisio | ShadowLAG: the kernel packages tend to be for premade kernels, yes | 09:45 |
| ShadowLAG | Right on, that's great news hopefully I can skip compiling completely. | 09:46 |
| reisio | Ubuntu isn't big on compiling | 09:46 |
| === angel is now known as Guest95056 | ||
| ShadowLAG | The reason is, is because I need some way to have access to a kernel to repack and resign | 09:47 |
| ShadowLAG | and move it into it's own partition, yet when using source, it's a blank slate for driver support | 09:47 |

| huapox | i get a problem like this, | 09:52 |
| huapox | 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs' | 09:52 |
| ShadowLAG | One other question, the kernel that is grabbed from repo, does it rely on grabbing info from your current kernel or does it come with a wide range of device support built in? | 09:52 |
| reisio | ShadowLAG: should be the latter | 09:52 |
| huapox | "ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch" | 09:52 |
| huapox | do anyone find the solution? | 09:52 |

| sgo11 | Bauer, I read your bug. I don't know what the problem is. even if the input method is set to something else, you can still directly input english to password field. what's the problem? | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ShadowLAG: possibly crossed wires :(. Its early | 10:06 |
| ShadowLAG | It's all good | 10:06 |
| Bauer | sgo11: problem is, that the typing language in the login screen is set to the language of the last active window, which sometimes is not english | 10:06 |

| Bauer | sgo11: and in Windows (all versions) login screen never behaved in such way. Its not by design as well, I believe | 10:07 |
| sgo11 | Bauer, yeah, so what? you can only input english to password field. no. I just did the test. even if the typing language is set to non-english, I can still input my password correctly at the first attempt. no need to change typing lang. | 10:07 |
| Bauer | really? ok, I will test today when I get home.. pretty sure this is not true for my computer for some reason | 10:08 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 10:36 |

| yossarianuk | as well as spamming yourself when searching for any app | 12:29 |
| ikonia | yossarianuk: don't use it then if you don't like it | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | !nounity|yossarianuk, | 12:29 |
| ubottu | yossarianuk,: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:29 |
| ikonia | yossarianuk: or ask specific questions about issues you'd like to resolve | 12:30 |

| wilee-nilee | Private_User, details and errors on the attempt? | 15:30 |
| andreb | i created a group call admin... added my user to the group and the limited su so only members of that group can "su" to root.. but now my user cant su to root and hes in the admin group | 15:30 |
| andreb | what did i do wrong ? | 15:30 |
| bgardner | timbozeman: If you don't have sensitive info in it, you can also pastebin your apache.conf and I'll look over it with you. | 15:30 |

| gryg | rypervenche, thx it works, but vnc is too slow :/ | 15:31 |
| timbozeman | bgardner: Thank you very much! http://pastebin.ca/2472728 | 15:31 |
| Private_User | I downloaded the ISO from the website | 15:32 |
| Private_User | copied to a usb | 15:32 |
| rypervenche | gryg: VNC isn't slow, it is probably your client that is using too good of quality. | 15:32 |
| Private_User | mounted the usb | 15:32 |
| andreb | anyone ? | 15:32 |
| Private_User | but not sure which file to run there | 15:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Private_User, Have you run a update at all? | 15:32 |
| gryg | rypervenche, but on low quality I can not work | 15:32 |
| Private_User | the machine is a standalone no connectivity | 15:33 |
| gryg | I'm connecting to server over ocean (from europe to usa) | 15:33 |
| rypervenche | gryg: Sure you can. Why wouldn't you be able to? If the VM can't handle the connection, perhaps there are not enough resources allocated to it. Still, you should have no problem using VNC on it. | 15:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Private_User, I asked you if you had net access. | 15:33 |
| Private_User | not on the pc i want to install the ubuntu desktop | 15:34 |
| willybilly0101 | just curious, does ubuntu 64 also includes 32 bit libraries, or you can run only 64 bit software? | 15:34 |
| Private_User | I also tried to do a fresh install by booting with usb | 15:34 |
| wilee-nilee | willybilly0101 been that for awhile. | 15:35 |
| Private_User | I have the same issue as the one posted on ask ubuntu but there is no reply there | 15:35 |
| willybilly0101 | wilee-nilee, been how? | 15:35 |
| bgardner | timbozeman: Looks like a lot has changed between my version and yours, but the overall configuration is really close now that you commented out those lines. Have you tried restarting and testing it yet since you made those edits? | 15:35 |
| wilee-nilee | 32 or 64 willybilly0101 depending on what's available | 15:35 |
| Private_User | http://askubuntu.com/questions/368439/unable-to-install-ubuntu-desktop-13-10 I have this issue as well | 15:35 |
| timbozeman | bgardner: yes, I'm trying to do the config changes from this url http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/upgrading.html | 15:35 |
| willybilly0101 | so ubuntu 64 it's actually mixed, but has 64bit kernel | 15:36 |
| wilee-nilee | willybilly0101, its called multiarch | 15:36 |
| bgardner | timbozeman: Excellent choice, let us know how that goes. | 15:36 |
| willybilly0101 | yeap | 15:36 |
| willybilly0101 | unpure :) | 15:36 |
| willybilly0101 | thanks | 15:36 |
| wilee-nilee | willybilly0101, some things are only in 32 bit. | 15:36 |

| celso | hi all. people, i am playing nexuiz with a radeon 5470HD and i can't pass the 61 fps. i am using ubuntu 13.04 with 3.11 kernel with dpm enabled. i am playing with no vsync enabled and whattever resolution is, i always get no more than 61 fps. is radeon blocking something? | 15:40 |
| Ari-Yang | celso: I think you should also ask that question on #radeon | 15:43 |
| celso | ohh thanks | 15:43 |
| Ari-Yang | celso: you might need to upgrade your mesa to mesa 9.2 or 10 even | 15:43 |
| celso | didn't know that there was a radeon channel. | 15:43 |
| Ari-Yang | well now you do~ | 15:44 |

| geirha | Canadaftw: Maybe the image didn't get loaded properly on the usb then. Grub has nothing to do with that part. The reason it can't boot windows is because you removed grub's files. | 17:37 |

| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, Hmm, my dna shows right up, you have the desktop showing mounts? | 17:48 |
| rory | m3kk: Do you know what driver it was trying to install? | 17:48 |
| sangohan | xangua, it's already install and when i click on this icon, it opens a new instance to | 17:48 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: I do. WHen I connect my G'Nex, it works fine, just not the HTC One | 17:48 |
| Dubu | marlo: If you want the subnet also, you must move the '\(' to the left in the regex. (Everything betweeen '\(' and '\)' will be captured and printed with \1.) | 17:48 |
| CarlFK | when I plug in a usb disk, it normally gets mounted under /media/user/label - but only when I am logged into the gui. is there a script i can run that will mount it if I am sshed into the box? | 17:48 |
| m3kk | rory, it crashes while searching for drivers.. but they did show up in livesession thou :) | 17:49 |

| geirha | Dubu: Can also be done without grep | 17:49 |
| killroy1080 | hello | 17:49 |
| Dubu | geirha: How do you get the filename in the line then? | 17:50 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: Yes I have tried it on and off. I have not restarted the phone since enabling USB Debug | 17:50 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, should not matter but why not eh | 17:51 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: rebooting phone now | 17:51 |
| geirha | Dubu: Ah, the filename is wanted, I see. In that case it can't be done with sed alone. grep|sed or awk, then | 17:52 |
| logic_prog | am I blind, or are there no hadoop/hbase packages for ubuntu 13.04 ? | 17:52 |

| bjrohan | Aah, the screen is on when plugged into the computer, do you mean turning off the settine completely on the phone | 17:54 |
| yeyeman | If my computer is suspended and I vake it again, ubuntu completely freezes and I have to restart | 17:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | logic_prog: there are a few stuff missing in some distros because of compatibilities issues: such as haskell-platform is missing form raring as the GHC ship with raring is not compatible with haskell-platform 2012 or haskell-platform 2013 | 17:55 |
| yeyeman | If I type the wrong password at login, ubuntu sometimes completely freezes and I have to restart | 17:55 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, No, just that I open the phone up, using the password so I see the main screen then plug in. | 17:55 |
| logic_prog | hitsujiTMO: how does this relate to hbase/hadoop? | 17:56 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: Gotcha, that is the case with me, screen on, logged in, nada. Is there a setting on HTC One to not turn off screen when plugged in? | 17:56 |

| wilee-nilee | Canadaftw, If you have a windows disc/usb recovery or install you could reload its boot loader in general, however not being able to at the least show us say the bootinfo summary or identify whether this is a uefi or msdos makes this difficult.

| ljunggren | samgabbay, all the way eh? | 18:23 |
| samgabbay | hopefully you dont have amd | 18:23 |
| samgabbay | ljunggren: yessssss thats how i fixed all my laggy issues | 18:23 |
| ljunggren | samgabbay, radeon 6320 but intel cpu | 18:23 |
| samgabbay | ljunggren: god help you! | 18:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | ljunggren: it can run just as well if you have propper GPU support ... however ATI/AMD gpu support sucks. RadeonDriver had crap 3d accel, proprietary drivers have crap 2d accel. | 18:23 |

| yeyeman | MonkeyDust: its bittorent sync | 19:05 |
| === jono is now known as Guest21711 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | no_gravity: as I said, it's impossible to say. depends on too many things like what processor ypu have, how you set up the vm, what else you have running. what de you are using and whta de you install on ubuntu. if you want an idea of the actual speed, use a live cd | 19:06 |
| CatKiller | no_gravity: With virtualization in CPU and a recent CPU that supports all the fancy Virtualization extensions | 19:06 |
| CatKiller | it's more like 90% | 19:06 |
| CatKiller | upwards | 19:06 |
| no_gravity | CatKiller: i dunno. i use a lenovo X301. | 19:06 |
| CatKiller | I think the best answer is: | 19:07 |
| CatKiller | "it'll be horrible, or it'll be nearly as good" | 19:07 |
| CatKiller | if it's horrible either virtualbox is not configured or not using the virtual CPU extensions | 19:07 |
| CatKiller | or you don't have them on your hardware | 19:07 |
| MonkeyDust | yeyeman ubuntu has Deluge and Transmission, why use something else? | 19:08 |
| CatKiller | As people suggested just now you should try | 19:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | no_gravity: just create a live distro on usb from the iso using netbootin | 19:08 |
| wilee-nilee | !ppa-purge | niuniomartinez the java one anyway. | 19:08 |
| ubottu | niuniomartinez the java one anyway.: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 19:08 |
| yeyeman | MonkeyDust: they aren't the same kind of program | 19:08 |
| no_gravity | wow, its *really* slow. | 19:08 |
| no_gravity | like unbelievable slow. | 19:08 |
| CatKiller | see! | 19:08 |
| CatKiller | Predicted that! | 19:08 |
| CatKiller | :p | 19:09 |
| CatKiller | Most likely your CPU doesn't support virtualization | 19:09 |
| niuniomartinez | wilee-nilee: Thanks. Reading. | 19:09 |
| CatKiller | that's provided you have *real* memory allocated to the VM | 19:09 |

| DrFoo | Anyone know how to have an iphone look for music on an smb share instead of itunes? | 19:09 |
| wilee-nilee | you an check their webpages | 19:10 |
| wilee-nilee | can* | 19:10 |
| CatKiller | korrosion: Sounds like a crude method of SNMP | 19:10 |
| CatKiller | DrFoo: How is that a #ubuntu question? | 19:10 |
| korrosion | CatKiller: Sort of. We just need to keep an eye on our servers connectivity | 19:11 |
| no_gravity | still waiting for firefox to start.... how long will that take.. 10 minutes? | 19:11 |
| MonkeyDust | korrosion tip: there's also #ubuntu-server | 19:11 |
| CatKiller | korrosion: If you don't want to use snmp not sure | 19:11 |
| DrFoo | CatKiller because there is no itunes for linux and most of the previous libraries for ubuntu no longer work to sync. It affects the ubuntu community, and is fairly common thing to want. | 19:12 |
| wilee-nilee | no_gravity, ubuntu is a bit chunky in a vm, a lighter desktop might help. | 19:13 |
| wilee-nilee | takes a gig of ram in a partition alone basically | 19:13 |
| niuniomartinez | wilee-nilee: Thankyou. I think I have it fixed now. :D | 19:13 |
| wilee-nilee | niuniomartinez, Cool, enjoy. | 19:14 |
| CatKiller | DrFoo: But what could Ubuntu possibly do since you want the *iPhone* to discover music on a SMB share | 19:14 |
| no_gravity | wilee-nilee: maybe. im too lazy to experiment on for today. | 19:14 |
| CatKiller | DrFoo: Anyways, google's first hit: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1503989 | 19:15 |

| CatKiller | DrFoo: Seems like a good few music players exist on iOS to connect to SMB share | 19:15 |
| CatKiller | DrFoo: Which is handy because I was wondering myself | 19:15 |

| acovrig | Any ideas why 'Ubuntu' doesn't work, but 'Ubuntu 2D' woks? | 19:18 |
| goneGone-theForm | wilee-nilee, used to have gnome and others but purged them all, only unity (ubuntu-default) the option to select others is not there at the unity log in screen. | 19:18 |
| wilee-nilee | goneGone-theForm, purged how? | 19:18 |
| goneGone-theForm | wilee-nilee, i have the wifi connection ticked for "Available to all users" | 19:18 |
| goneGone-theForm | wilee-nilee, "sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell*" | 19:19 |
| wilee-nilee | goneGone-theForm, That tick is most important in the dektop on install. | 19:19 |
| CatKiller | DrFoo: I personally use OPlayer for videos and it works with SMB, but it's also a music player | 19:19 |
| xll11 | erm | 19:19 |
| xll11 | why my 'su' password does not work? | 19:19 |
| xll11 | shouldnt it be the same as the password for sudo | 19:19 |
| wilee-nilee | goneGone-theForm, was this a gnome only install originally? | 19:19 |
| goneGone-theForm | wilee-nilee, what's the command to see if i have de's currently installed other than unity. like... list all de's? | 19:19 |
| goneGone-theForm | wilee-nilee, know i installed from the a regular ubuntu13.10 iso, so it only had unity by default, i added on and removed gnome and others later | 19:20 |
| xll11 | sudo: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dfist-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py: command not found | 19:20 |
| wilee-nilee | goneGone-theForm, NOt sure, but there is a website psychocats that has meta lists of de's for full removal on some releases. | 19:20 |
| CatKiller | DrFoo: I also used FlacPlayer before. And it reads flac! | 19:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | acovrig: what do you mean by "ubuntu 2d" ? ... do you mean unity 2d? | 19:21 |
| DrFoo | CatKiller: nice, I'm moving everything to flac | 19:21 |
| DrFoo | CatKiller: does it read smb share, or just local filesystem? | 19:21 |
| CatKiller | DrFoo: FlacPlayer can connect to SSH files | 19:21 |
| wilee-nilee | I doubt 13.10 is there though yet, goneGone-theForm you have to be careful installing and removing thise meta packages to get them all. | 19:21 |
| acovrig | hitsujiTMO: I guess, 'http://askubuntu.com/questions/72978/what-could-cause-normal-ubuntu-not-to-work-but-ubuntu-2d-to-work-11-10' seems to be my problem | 19:21 |

| CatKiller | sftp sorry | 19:21 |
| CatKiller | works with Ubuntu or most NASs | 19:21 |

| DrFoo | CatKiller: use openvpn connect and then it appears as a LAN and you don't need ssh | 19:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | acovrig: unity requires 3d acceleration (runs on compiz). unity-2d does not use the 3d accel. | 19:22 |

| offensive-securi | hi all | 19:22 |
| xll11 | i wrote the path by hand, its on my ubuntu comp, windows here | 19:22 |

| hitsujiTMO | acovrig: you most like do not have a grpahics card sufficient to run 3d acceleration | 19:22 |
| xll11 | the path si correct | 19:22 |
| xll11 | (Was just a mispelling :p) | 19:22 |

| goneGone-theForm | wilee-nilee, alright thank you. | 19:24 |
| acovrig | hitsujiTMO: not sure, but probably; I think it updated compiz, and I have no idea how to downgrade or something to get it working... | 19:24 |
| wilee-nilee | goneGone-theForm, Generally If I install something I might want to remove I use the terminal and save the install packages, just for these sort of situations. | 19:25 |
| acovrig | hitsujiTMO: I am running 12.04 LTS, I wonder if it would be a good idea to update to 13.04 or 13.10 or if that would just turn out to be a nightmare... | 19:25 |

| wilee-nilee | goneGone-theForm, I'm not sure besides the ubuntu site listing packages are lists fpr 13.10. | 19:34 |
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | acovrig | 19:35 |

| wilee-nilee | HisaoNakai, You might ask them, If you download from gthem and the sum is correct your okay I would think. | 19:54 |
| kaklaa | it does not uefi, that's why it takes lot of time to boot? | 19:54 |
| sidhom | hi | 19:54 |
| sidhom | I'm no newbie here | 19:54 |
| kaklaa | why it is better than Windows , except virus free? | 19:54 |
| ctrlbyte | hi sidhom | 19:55 |
| wilee-nilee | kaklaa, hibernate has always been as long as a boot on my machines in ubuntu here. | 19:55 |
| kaklaa | lot of configurations need to be done, which takes time greater than installing drivers and softwares | 19:55 |
| Underbyte | question -- the ubuntu server cloud edition image is named exactly the same as the normal ubuntu server iso, is there a difference between the two? | 19:55 |
| wilee-nilee | kaklaa, the uefi hibernate is a pseudo, it is a sleep to some extent, you would have to ask the windows guys really. | 19:56 |
| ctrlbyte | kaklaa, virus free? Hmmmm not sure that statement is exactly true, Linux has come a long way in the last six years, not as much manual tweaking as you might imagine | 19:56 |
| wilee-nilee | kaklaa, You seem unhappy, are you sure this OS is for you, lol. | 19:56 |
| kaklaa | some small annoying bugs, which really need to take care , like wifi doesn't work BROADCOM most of time, bluetooth Headsets, and many more simply annoying bugs | 19:57 |
| kaklaa | nautilus hangs even on small directories | 19:57 |
| kaklaa | then many context menu, why ubuntu doesn't ship them by default | 19:58 |

| kaklaa | wilee-nilee: No, this is not a option for me, this is hardware upgrade | 20:01 |
| wilee-nilee | kaklaa, sounds OCD to be honest. | 20:02 |
| bekks | kaklaa: The only way to fasten that up is using faster hardware. | 20:02 |
| kaklaa | wilee-nilee: OCD means? | 20:02 |
| kaklaa | bekks: but same hardware works fast on windows | 20:03 |

I set approx up this morning, everything worked perfectly for a while. come back after lunch, and I keep getting 500 internal server errors when I try to access the cached repository at <server>:<port>/ubuntu/ I don't see anything in the logs that would help me, and googling for sys_error("is a directory") (the specific 500 error I'm getting) is not very helpful | 20:04 |

| bekks | kaklaa: Being too close at the router heavily impacts the connection. | 20:05 |

| Daekdroom | I'm using 13.10 and whenever I download a .rar file with Firefox, it doesn't display File roller under my "Open with:" choices. How do I make it show up there? | 20:09 |
| kaklaa | Broadcom wireless, STA driver installed not worked , binary installed, not worked, brcmacs installed worked but with poor speed | 20:09 |
| kaklaa | bluetooth worked out of box | 20:09 |
| Calinou | install unrar, use terminal, "unrar filename" | 20:09 |
| bekks | Calinou: Which is not true. For 8 years now, Broadcom chipsets work out of the box here. | 20:09 |
| kaklaa | Headset profile not worked | 20:09 |
| Daekdroom | Calinou, you clearly haven't got the point. | 20:09 |
| Calinou | bekks: why do I still see screenshots with broadcom drivers in proprietary drivers menu then? | 20:09 |
| Daekdroom | I know how to extract a rar file. | 20:09 |
| kaklaa | sending and receiving files worked | 20:09 |
| bekks | kaklaa: "not worked" is a pretty useless, while generic, statement. | 20:09 |
| Daekdroom | But I download these small rar files often and I need a faster way to do it. | 20:10 |
| bekks | Calinou: Because you _may_ want to use them. As you _may_ want to use nvidia instead of nv, or the opensource radeon driver, or or or | 20:10 |
| Calinou | yes, but the other proprietary drivers are already in the kernel, such as intel | 20:10 |
| kaklaa | countless hours on askubuntu, ubuntugeek and google | 20:10 |
| Daekdroom | Calinou, Intel isn't a proprietary driver. | 20:10 |
| Calinou | intel wifi is proprietary | 20:11 |
| bekks | Calinou: There is no single proprietary driver which is in the kernel. | 20:11 |
| bekks | Calinou: It isnt. | 20:11 |
| Calinou | there are tons of proprietary firmware in the linux kernel | 20:11 |
| DjAngo23 | Hallo everyone. I locked mysel out of my router: I can't assign IP Adresses from my router but i changed my NAS to static IP, and i can only configure my NAS via the webinterface. How can I access my NAS to reset this option? | 20:11 |
| bekks | Calinou: firmware are not drivers. | 20:11 |
| Calinou | it's only redistributable | 20:11 |
| bekks | Calinou: firmware is firmware - drivers are drivers. Some drivers do use firmware. | 20:11 |
| wilee-nilee | DjAngo23, reset it if locked out and start over. | 20:11 |
| Daekdroom | These files may be installed by default, but they're in linux-firmware-nonfree package. | 20:12 |
| MrMonkey31 | sorry, when I do checkinstall, on a program I'd compiled, can I rename my build directory first, or will that like, bust up everything? | 20:12 |
| Daekdroom | Whatever code is in the kernel is opensource, however. | 20:12 |

| thatguy001 | i've tried two usbs and two different iso files | 21:47 |

| hellyeah | what | 21:52 |
| esde | MonkeyDust, the hdd is dead. I am running by the channel an idea to ditch the hard drive altogether | 21:52 |
| bean | esde: yes you can do a USB drive with persistent storage. | 21:53 |
| jhutchins_wk | esde: I had a system that was PXEBoot, and I had to switch to an ISP provided router. No room for an HD, so I installed Debian to an SD card in a USB adapter and it ran ok if somewhat slowly. | 21:53 |
| bean | esde: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 21:53 |
| thatguy001 | bekks, I'm not sure if i'm making myself clear. I was able to install ubuntu 12.04 with a bootable usb. I noticed that the system was not funtioning properly, the cpu was being maxed out at all times and the computer would freeze. apon research I found that I needed a kerne that was in ubuntu 13.10. I can't run the update normally because ubuntu freezes half way through | 21:53 |
| esde | thanks bean, I think i found what im looking for :) | 21:54 |
| bekks | thatguy001: Then you have to create a bootable USB for 13.10 and install that way. | 21:54 |
| jhutchins_wk | esde: If their web apps work with firefox on windows, they should work in iceweasel. If they require IE4 notsomuch. | 21:54 |
| jhutchins_wk | esde: I created the system with debootstrap. | 21:54 |
| thatguy001 | bekks, I've been trying to do that, but I can't get past grub | 21:54 |
| thatguy001 | I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong | 21:54 |
| zenx | Hi I installed 13.10 when it was "beta", with the updated is my system up to date or are there still components from the beta? | 21:54 |
| bekks | thatguy001: On a bootable USB, grub isnt even used, isnt it? | 21:54 |
| DJones | !final | zenx | 21:55 |
| ubottu | zenx: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Trusty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 14.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 21:55 |
| bekks | thatguy001: the ISO is using syslinux as far as I know. | 21:55 |
| thatguy001 | I did the exact same process as when I installed ubuntu the first time | 21:55 |
| esde | Sweet! thanks jhutchins_wk, I was worried about possibly needing ietab in firefox, but using iceweasel would be even easier! :)) | 21:55 |
| DJones | zenx: Thats also refers to Saucy | 21:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | thatguy001: at what point in the installer does it fail exactly? is it the same point each time? | 21:55 |
| zenx | DJones, thanks | 21:55 |
| bekks | thatguy001: So which process did you follow to create the bootable USB? | 21:56 |
| jhutchins_wk | esde: Sorry, iceweasel is Debian-specific, firefox in ubuntu. | 21:56 |
| thatguy001 | hitsujiTMO, it doesn't even get to the installer. It just goes right to ubuntu 12.04 | 21:56 |
| jhutchins_wk | esde: (iceweasel is the same code rebranded) | 21:56 |
| houkouonchi-home | anyone here very familiar with grub 2 on ubuntu? | 21:56 |

| Ben64 | thatguy001: why are you linking to microsoft? you're trying to make an Ubuntu usb, not a Windows one | 21:57 |

| houkouonchi-home | ok.. does anyone know how to 1) select kernels via command that are in a submenu entry or 2) disable submenu entries without modifying existing grub files so when an update happens you get a bitch about files being modified? | 21:58 |

| bekks | thatguy001: I am saying: please read the link given, read it entirely. | 22:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | houkouonchi-home: you should be adding you're customisations in /etc/grub.d | 22:03 |
| wilee-nilee | dezine, I assume ext4 partitions, http://askubuntu.com/questions/159992/how-to-mount-ext4-partition | 22:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | houkouonchi-home: the normal file to edit is /etc/grub.d/40_custon iirc | 22:04 |
| houkouonchi-home | hitsujiTMO: yeah well I was wondering via a file in there if there is anyway to remove submenu's completely | 22:04 |
| houkouonchi-home | i have a sed that will do it but just putting a command in there (even with exec in front of it) doesn't seem to get the job done | 22:04 |

| houkouonchi-home | yes | 22:05 |
| thatguy001 | bekks, no, I didn't use wubi. I used diskpart and 7 zip and i put the usb in and it started the installer when i booted | 22:05 |
| thatguy001 | bekks, oh sorry | 22:06 |

| === ThalinVien is now known as Guest28290 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | houkouonchi-home: so if i'm understanding the issue correctly: you're trying to change the default os that is being booted up, however, when grub is updated, it's overwriting /etc/default/grub so you're customisations are gone? | 22:11 |
| houkouonchi-home | well /boot/grub/grub.cfg is actually what is written | 22:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | houkouonchi-home: and setting the default in /etc/default/grub doesn't work? | 22:12 |
| houkouonchi-home | numerical doesn't work if its a submenu.. full name works if you do submenu/menu | 22:13 |
| houkouonchi-home | the problem is now you have to figure out its a submenu.. its just making automation of this a PITA.... | 22:13 |
| houkouonchi-home | just found out you can boot sub-menu options by using submenu/menu format | 22:13 |
| houkouonchi-home | hitsujiTMO: the problem is this is all for automation | 22:14 |
| houkouonchi-home | and the sub-menu system is just making it a pain in the ass | 22:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | houkouonchi-home: have you tried adding a custom entry in /etc/grub.d that has a lower number than the existing files such that it gets envoked at an earlier point and becomes the first entry? | 22:16 |
| === bharris is now known as savoy9020 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | houkouonchi-home: there's potential the the existing scripts might get overwritten (excluding the 00_custom) on a grub update so modifying them may not work | 22:18 |
| houkouonchi-home | well i was hoping i could just use sed to remove the subentry part of the config files with a 50_custom type file that ran last and just formatted the final version of the file | 22:18 |
| houkouonchi-home | i don't really know how those files are invoked though | 22:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | houkouonchi-home: they'll be envoked in ascii order usually | 22:18 |
| houkouonchi-home | well i thought grub-update used those files in order to generate the grub.cfg | 22:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | houkouonchi-home: yes, it does, but an update to grub-pc package could potentiall overwrite those files | 22:19 |

| sisterFister | hello everyone. So a message just popped up for me saying that the "Filesystem root" has only 633 MB remaining. I know that my SSD has around 40GB of space available on it. It is also the only HD that's connected. What's going on here? | 22:29 |
| bekks | sisterFister: Enter "df -h" in a terminal. | 22:29 |

| esde | im using portablelinux to try and create a persistent usb install as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Portable_Linux_.28GUI-based.29 only problem is ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386 is 7MB larger than the 700MB limit portablelinux has. Is there a way for me to safely raise this limit? Or is there another install that's slightly smaller for 12.04 desktop i386? | 22:31 |
| bekks | sisterFister: Yo have 291M left on / | 22:31 |

| umar343 | I entered the following command " sudo lshw -C disk "in ubuntu 13.04 powered,2nd generation intel laptop,and the dvd drive & Hard disk is been detected,but when i run the "files and folders" application,I expect the presence of "ubuntu-disk" & "Hard disk" in the sidebar,which is absent,External storage is detected, | 22:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | sisterFister: i suspect you have a massive swap partition. can you pastebin the output of: lsblk | 22:32 |
| sisterFister | hitsujiTMO: bekks when I right click the SSD in the file explorer it gives the option to mount it. | 22:32 |

| hitsujiTMO | sisterFister do you have another operating system on it? thats your 40gbs free btw | 22:34 |
| sisterFister | hitsujiTMO: nope no other OS on this. | 22:35 |
| kostkon | sisterFister, or unallocated space but how could that happen. did you manually created your partitions during installation? | 22:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | sisterFister: can you mount it and have a look whats there: if there's nothing there you can delete it and increate the size of sda2 | 22:36 |
| sisterFister | hitsujiTMO: kostkon nothing in there | 22:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | sisterFister: if you're happy nothing is there, then boot to a live cd, run gparted and delete /dev/sda3 ... then increase the size of /dev/sda2 | 22:37 |
| kostkon | sisterFister, did you mount it | 22:37 |

| umar343 | @hitsujiTMO how do i become root ? | 23:07 |

| bekks | akurilin: Whats the "lts enablement stack"? | 23:08 |
| akurilin | jrib, hitsujiTMO thanks folks | 23:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | akurilin: i would guess they were from a game looking the libs | 23:08 |
| akurilin | bekks, I guess it's a way to upgrade a 12.04 kernel to support more recent hardware | 23:09 |
| akurilin | so you go from 3.2 to 3.5 I think | 23:09 |
| akurilin | and then eventually to whatever's after 3.5 once it's been proven not to break too much stuff | 23:09 |
| akurilin | in my case it's been a 50/50, one machine went into kernel panic when I did that, another one upgraded just fine | 23:09 |

| Kove | hi, i'm experiencing random crashes on ubuntu 12.04 LTS, can someone help me ? | 23:11 |
| Lisa201 | What type of crashes Kove? | 23:11 |
| esde | hitsujiTMO, i installed fglrx with apt and catalyst from amd's site iirc | 23:12 |
| Kove | Hi Lisa201 , system freezes, mouse cursor freeze, ctrl+alt+F1/backspace do not work | 23:12 |
| jc_ | ok. how would i make a live cd with ubuntu for powerpc? | 23:12 |
| esde | actually, i used additional drivers. :/ | 23:13 |
| Lisa201 | Wow, that's a solid freeze. Has it done this with any other operating system? | 23:13 |
| jc_ | ok. how would i make a live cd with ubuntu for powerpc? | 23:14 |
| Kove | I dont know, this is the only OS I have on this machine. Never installed windows here. Tried memtest but everything was ok | 23:14 |
| Lisa201 | You know how to burn DVD's and CD's jc_ ? | 23:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | esde: if you go to: system settings -> software and updates -> addtional drivers is there anthying showing up there? | 23:14 |
| jc_ | yes through brasero? | 23:15 |
| esde | Yes, I'm using the fglrx driver. It is activated but not in use. | 23:15 |
| Lisa201 | so jc_ you can download any ISO image and use brasero to burn that 'bootable' dvd or cd. | 23:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | jc_: what version of ubuntu do you wish to install? | 23:15 |
| esde | (post-release updates) | 23:15 |
| Lisa201 | jc_, I usually right-click on the ISO when you are finished downloading it, and select brasero | 23:16 |
| jc_ | what version would work on an imac g3/500? | 23:16 |
| ikonia | pretty much none | 23:16 |
| ikonia | the PPC port is dead | 23:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | jc_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads/ thats the downloads but a imac might not even be able to run them | 23:17 |
| Lisa201 | jc_, so you want to burn a Powerpc DVD install cd from within Ubuntu? | 23:17 |
| ikonia | the builds are automated, and to be honest, I wouldn't trust them anymore, it's pretty much dead | 23:17 |
| Kove | hi, solid crashes here on ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Can anyone help me ? | 23:18 |
| jc_ | i think thats what i want to do. i've seen on youtube that people are able to put ubuntu on their old imacs | 23:18 |
| ikonia | Kove: you'd need to provide more information than "solid crashes" | 23:18 |
| Lisa201 | Kove, usually a hard freeze like that is memory related. | 23:19 |
| Kove | I would. Tell me what information do you want. I've tried memtest and everyting looked fine | 23:19 |
| ikonia | jc_: a long time ago PPC was well maintained and even an official release I think, then it slipped to community support, then auto builds with community trying to fix it, for all intents, it's dead | 23:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | jc_ you want the desktop-powerpc.iso from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/ it's the only version that's supported anymore. but it probably wont run on such an old system | 23:19 |
| Lisa201 | Kove, if you have more than one memory module in the system, try it with one at a time. | 23:19 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest51073 | ||

| Kove | I have one, and the memtest runt 40 mins with no errors ... | 23:21 |

| Lisa201 | Kove, what version you trying to run? | 23:21 |
| Kove | ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 23:21 |
| Lisa201 | That's a stable release... | 23:22 |
| Lisa201 | Hum... | 23:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | kove what processor do you have? | 23:22 |
| Lisa201 | Kove, Possibly a corrupt download? Does it install all the way, or crash after it's been running? | 23:23 |
| ikonia | guys - why don't you find out more about the crash | 23:23 |
| ikonia | you're shooting blind making assumptions | 23:23 |
| Kove | I checked the cd ( usb stick ) for problems and everything was ok | 23:23 |
| ikonia | find out more about the crash, the situations, if it's hard locked, if you can get sysrq dump | 23:23 |
| Lisa201 | If it's hard crashed, there's not mouse, no way to ssh to it. etc... | 23:24 |
| ikonia | Lisa201: who said anything about the mouse or ssh | 23:25 |
| ikonia | finding out more about the situation, such as if it really is hard locked would be a good start | 23:25 |
| Kove | yeah, mouse is freezed. Not tried SSH however | 23:25 |
| Lisa201 | He said the mouse locks up, that's usually a sign that the lower level threads crashed too. | 23:25 |
| Kove | ctrl+alt+F1 doesnt work | 23:25 |
| ikonia | Lisa201: no, it could just be Xorg | 23:25 |
| andross | hello | 23:25 |
| philanthropy | Hey. | 23:26 |
| Lisa201 | Could be, but not usually. | 23:26 |

| philanthropy | How are you this brisk evening? | 23:26 |
| Lisa201 | Good, but I had to load Mint 15/kde. Ubuntu 13.10 was not runnable. | 23:27 |
| philanthropy | Oh wow. | 23:27 |
| dimitrilc | Does 13.10 support multi-monitors yet on Intel graphics? | 23:28 |

| ikonia | philanthropy: you may want to try #ubuntu-offtopic the social channel for more social chatter | 23:29 |
| kingbeast | Why am I having such a hard time installing chrome on 13.10? | 23:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | kove: is the live cd getting the same crashes? or just your install ... and how long before the crash occurs or is it just random? | 23:29 |
| philanthropy | This is not social banter, this conversation pertains to her Ubuntu 13.10 problem. | 23:29 |
| Lisa201 | Chrome or Chroium? (sp?) | 23:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | kingbeast: whats the exact issue? | 23:30 |
| ikonia | philanthropy: "can I interest you in a dj station" "where are you from" is nothing to do with a 13.10 problem | 23:30 |
| dimitrilc | kingbeast: how are you installing it? | 23:30 |
| Lisa201 | 13.10 was slow in everything it did, from booting to the logon prompt, to loading any applications. | 23:30 |
| ikonia | philanthropy: for that sort of thing #ubuntu-offtopic is the right channel, please. | 23:30 |
| Kove | hitsujitmo , is the install. The crash is completely random, sometimes it works for hours | 23:30 |
| kingbeast | It starts to install then just stops. Through the software center | 23:30 |
| dimitrilc | kingbeast: the software center in 13.10 has Chrome? | 23:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | kingbeast: i presume you mean chromium then not chrome | 23:31 |
| Lisa201 | Kove, when it crashes, if you have another computer you can use to ping the system, does it reply? | 23:32 |
| k1l | kingbeast: use dpkg in the terminal to see if there are errors | 23:32 |
| Kove | I have not tried. I will try | 23:32 |
| esde | hitsujiTMO, In additional driver it shows the fglrx friver and underneath it says "The Driver is activated but not in use." | 23:32 |
| Lisa201 | Kove, not the IP address when it's running and try that. | 23:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | esde: can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log | 23:32 |
| kingbeast | Never mind it just installed it. | 23:33 |
| Lisa201 | Kove, my instinct tells me it will not respond and it's still memory related. | 23:33 |
| Lisa201 | Nice kingbeast | 23:33 |
| Kove | ok Lisa201, I will try asap | 23:33 |
| Kove | is there any log I should look at ? | 23:34 |
| esde | http://pastebin.com/TkMT7tWG | 23:34 |
| esde | hitsujiTMO, ^ | 23:34 |
| Lisa201 | Kove, look at the end of the syslog they might show something. | 23:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | Kove: /var/log/syslog or /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:34 |
| Lisa201 | Ya, those | 23:34 |
| Lisa201 | check the end of the previous ones too, with tail. tail /var/log/syslog.1 etc... | 23:35 |

| hs2 | yea | 23:40 |

| hs2 | i can't find the source package for it | 23:43 |

| hs2 | even for 2.2.8 ? | 23:43 |

| hitsujiTMO | hs2: why are you worried about apache2 being EOL when you are running an EOL operating system? | 23:45 |
| ikonia | that is the bigger question.... | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | EOLbuntu ;) | 23:45 |
| hs2 | hitsujiTMO: tell me about it. i am running legacy software that will take time to update to 13.10. and until then the short term fix is to apply whatever updates possible | 23:46 |
| hs2 | pci compliance is a bitch | 23:46 |
| ikonia | hs2: but you're updating to another EOL apache build | 23:46 |
| esde | ty hitsujiTMO | 23:46 |
| bekks | hs2: pci compliance supports supported LTS releases too ;) | 23:47 |
| esde | hitsujiTMO, I added the ppa, ran update and then upgrade. xdiagnose was the only thing updated. Do I need to remove and install a package manually? | 23:48 |
| ikonia | pci complience is about minimising risk, and using non-standard software on an EOL OS is bigger than a vendor packaged build, it would be better to get an exception | 23:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | esde: not sure on this: i'm all intel gfx atm, so haven't had to use that ppa in a good few years | 23:48 |
| Kove | Lisa201, how can I see if apport is correctly running ? | 23:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | esde: hopefully someone else will be able to chime in and help you | 23:49 |
