[00:00] jc_: "burn image". [00:00] a 540line paste - that dosent really say a lot. ;) [00:00] am able to boot using a thumb drive.but cannot mount the hard disk even after booting using a thumb drive. [00:00] umar343: what exactly do you mean by "not able to boot" [00:00] i have a 'write to disk' on my nautilus right click menu.. not sure what added that. [00:00] k ty [00:00] umar343: i would boot the thumbdrive then we can trouble shoot from there [00:01] the laptop switches on , instead of the ubuntu screeen displaying i get a error saying Atheros network is not connected. [00:01] mac id is displayed then. [00:01] so you see the grub/whatever boot menu? then the Loading Ubuntu ...... screen? [00:02] umar343: sounds like pxe boot. check the integrity of the .iso file ... how did you create the usb image? [00:02] i am supposed to see "Loading Ubuntu..." but i don't.also i remove the thumb drive once the laptop has booted. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [00:03] use the bios/whatever key the pc uses.. to select/be sure it is booting the USB [00:03] first used a live cd to boot the laptop then installed the live image to the thumb drive. [00:03] so this whole ubuntu spyware thing... to disable it, i just slide the slider in the privacy settings GUI, right? === LjL is now known as TheGhostOfLjL [00:03] i.e. is that the whole thing or is there more config? [00:04] whatever option i select , network boot is selected by default/ [00:04] *default. [00:04] visceral: the omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites have several articals on it. [00:04] Dr_Willis, but for 13.10? [00:04] visceral: it depends on your exact ubuntu release to disable the ad lenss [00:04] 13.10 amd64 [00:04] hi is uubntu 1404 the next lts [00:05] i dont memorize the steps.. and im on lubuntu ;) [00:05] the bot factoids are out of date i belive on the topic also [00:05] umar343: ok, unfortunately what your exactly saying isn't making much sense. so you can boot to the live cd ok right? [00:05] but those 2 blog sites had good articals on it. [00:05] i uninstalled a number of apps and even apt to prevent my laptop from attacking external network. [00:05] what [00:05] 0_O [00:06] i really wish all this stuff was off by default :( [00:06] how do i trouble shoot ? [00:06] once a sstem is compromised fully , no anti-virus can help. [00:06] umar343: its not clear what you mean by that last line. about uninstalling stuff [00:06] i have found the answer on the web but i have this uneasy feeling that i've missed something [00:06] umar343: you seem to be sort of rambling. [00:06] or that it'll get turned back on with an update :( [00:07] visceral: its really not that big of an issue. its overhyped like crazy [00:07] Dr_Willis, it's the whole fact that i now have to be wary of things turning it back on on me [00:07] visceral: if you are that scared of it.. use a differnt non-unity desktiop [00:08] :-\ [00:08] visceral: you can turn of all online dash activity in: system settings -> security & privacy -> search [00:08] visceral: cant say ive ever heard of a users setting in their HOME directory getting turned on or off by updates... [00:08] EVER.. [00:08] i have uninstalled wireless drivers,games,libreoffice,remote desktop clients,desktop sharing and executed "sudo apt-get remove apt" [00:08] Anybody know why Mark of the Ninja runs so sluggish on my Intel hd 4000? [00:08] the pacakge manager tools dont touch stuff in the users home. [00:08] to prevent ddos attacks. [00:08] Dr_Willis, the mechanism may change and thus ignore the local setting [00:08] theoretically speaking [00:09] refer onlne cves , i found a website about apt leading to ddos attacks. [00:09] visceral: in theory they could replace busybox with some folding@home app also.. but i doubt it.. [00:09] in theory the only safe pc.. is one thats turned off... [00:10] hello? [00:10] umar343: perhaps you should step back and tell us why you think you need to do such weird things to 'prevent ddos' attacks [00:10] even a turned off pc is unsafe.i got the info about ddos on packetstormsecurity [00:10] hello? [00:10] hello tanuj [00:10] hi [00:10] how aer things [00:10] ae [00:10] are [00:10] great who are you again? [00:10] me? [00:11] yes [00:11] I am Obama Barack Hussein [00:11] i once logged into the hacker's chat on gogloom.com [00:11] :D [00:11] heh umar343 [00:11] i am someone who just joined this channel [00:11] awesome [00:11] it was in 2009 [00:11] cool [00:11] umar343: great - good for you.. now is there some actual ubuntu support question you had? [00:11] what is gogloom === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [00:11] have been having different kinds of problems since then , involving social engineering as well. [00:11] no, I'm just here to chat [00:12] !ot | tanuj jmgk this is a support channel not a chat channel [00:12] welcome undert [00:12] tanuj jmgk this is a support channel not a chat channel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:12] ok [00:12] oh sorry [00:12] i need to access the hard disk and DVD writer to install another OS on another dvd. [00:12] how do i do it ? === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:13] boot a live-usb and you should have full access to the system umar343 [00:13] you can install from a live-usb also [00:13] how do i create a live usb ? [00:14] umar343: the pendrivelinux site has dozens of tools and guides on making them. [00:14] ubuntu homepage also has a tool for it [00:15] i want to understand the hexadecimal output of the following command. sudo lspci -vvxxx http://pastebin.com/cKsYpScq [00:17] which white box in the alongside ubuntu represents the newer distro? [00:18] After installing xubuntu, when I boot only a black screen with a login prompt appears. Already tried to edit the grub file in /etc/default [00:18] anyone knwo what's going on ? [00:18] umar343: considering you are running a ubuntu environment right now ... you can just install netbootin and use that to create a live usb [00:18] unetbootin* [00:19] hola [00:19] why am i not able to access the content on the hard disk ? if i am allowed. === kevin is now known as Guest32566 [00:20] umar343: are you running the live cd now? [00:20] no on a usb [00:20] thumb drive. [00:20] i remove the thumb drive once the desktop appears. [00:21] umar343: because you need to use sudo/root accessw as needed [00:21] umar343: you need to keep the usb in. [00:21] err.. You boot the thumbdrive... then remove it? [00:21] I don't think you are supposed to remove the thumb drive without umount [00:21] i read online that sudo is not the ultimate command. [00:21] umar343: i think you need to read more.. === Guest32566 is now known as kmak [00:22] !permissions | umar343 [00:22] umar343: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:23] i want to know the specialities of nano editor.

[00:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6333137/ [00:27] umar343: can you also paste the output of: mount | pastebinit [00:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6333143/ [00:28] i always set the swap to minimum. [00:29] anyone knwo what's going on ? [00:29] After installing xubuntu, when I boot only a black screen with a login prompt appears. Already tried to edit the grub file in /etc/default [00:29] sisterFister: sounds like its booting to the CONSOLE if its just saying 'login:' [00:29] and can you login? [00:29] Dr_Willis: i can log in [00:30] umar343: you have not booted from the usb, you have booted from the hard drive. [00:30] Dr_Willis: and browse files normally, just no xfce environment [00:30] sisterFister: and this wasent a server install was it? ;) [00:30] Dr_Willis: no [00:30] had someond confused about that last week.. hehe [00:30] sisterFister: try 'startx' or 'sudo service lightdm start' and see if the gui starts up [00:30] umar343: can you please explain the exact problem again becaus ehtere doesn't seem to be one [00:31] the problem is not visible unfortunately,it is very complex. [00:31] i cannot boot using the hard disk or live cd. [00:32] there is a virus.i have files stored on the hard disk. [00:32] umar343: you have booted from the hard drive now [00:32] a virus on what os? [00:32] Dr_Willis: 'startx' outputs Fatal server error: no screens found [00:32] ubuntu 13.04 [00:32] sisterFister: sounds like you got some X configuration/Drivers issues going on [00:33] I doubt if you have a 'virus' on ubuntu 13.04 [00:33] Dr_Willis: was hoping that wasn't it. Had no problem using normal ubuntu :\ [00:33] umar343: ok, i'm definately calling troll now. i'm out. [00:33] sisterFister: what do you mean normal ubuntu? [00:33] the scroll key on touch pad does not work at times also. [00:34] inspite of removing apt,it is still present. [00:34] Dr_Willis: i had ubuntu 12.04 installed before and never encountered this issue. Now i've just installed xubuntu === |_ocke3 is now known as |_ocke [00:35] sisterFister: so this is a clean install that has never booted to the desktop? [00:35] Dr_Willis: correct. [00:35] sisterFister: whats the video card/chipset? [00:36] * Dr_Willis gets ready to run away it its optimus based.. ;P [00:36] sisterFister: can you login and install pastebinit and run: cat /vat/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit and link us the result [00:37] /var/log/ ;) [00:37] sisterFister: sorry: cat /vat/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [00:37] heh heh.., cat in the hat.. in a vat went splat [00:37] sisterFister: sorry: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [00:37] ok, it's right that time [00:38] no...it's such a long output and on a laptop that has no gui lol [00:38] can't i grep the lines you need? [00:38] a real cli guru uses the tab key so much.. they rarely need to spell everything [00:38] pastebinit is a cli tool to post things to a pastebin site sisterFister - no need for a gui [00:39] oh [00:39] sisterFister: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [00:39] sisterFister: that will produce a single url for us [00:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6333197 [00:41] sisterFister: seems it does not like you're graphics card. [00:41] hitsujiTMO: time to install lubuntu? [00:41] they really need to put pastebinit installed by default. ;) [00:42] pastebinit was installed by default [00:42] sisterFister: if the gfx drives are the issue.. the desktop wont matter [00:42] sisterFister: you'll probably have the same problem ... what is the exact chipset you have? [00:42] never had this issue with Ubuntu 12.04 [00:42] pastebinit is not installed by defatult as far as ive seen. [00:42] Dr_Willis: I didn't have to install pastebinit to use it [00:42] Dr_Willis: maybe its installed on xubuntu [00:43] might be. i got my 'install-my-stuff scripts' :0 that i always use to pull in things [00:45] *HELP* i find my self having to type 'sudo alsa force-reload' every time i login, either pulse audio and or alsa modules are not loading at boot up or when i log in or when they are supposed to be. how can i fix this? [00:45] sisterFister: what's the output of: lspci | grep VGA === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away === theinova is now known as inova [00:46] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6333222/ === AEM is now known as aem [00:47] gdos: try putting the command in /etc/rc.local as a dirty quick fix perhaps. === aem is now known as AEM [00:47] Dr_Willis: 'sudo alsa force-reload' or 'alsa force-reload' ? === AEM is now known as aem` [00:48] gdos: try one, or the other, or both.. [00:48] gdos: rc.local runs as root. so no need for sudo in rc.local [00:49] ok. somehow my sound system crashed (using xubuntu 12.04.3) and having a heck of a time keeping it loaded. even tried 'sudo apt-get purge --reinstall pulseaudio' and now i lost my volume control in xubuntu. [00:49] let me try that first. [00:50] sisterFister: looks like the radeondriver or fglrx isn't recognising the card at all. you prob need newer drivers for that card [00:51] sisterFister: it's a 7000 series card right? [00:51] hitsujiTMO: don't know it's the one that came with the laptop. [00:51] sisterFister: brand new laptop? [00:51] it's about 1-2 years old [00:52] Why is it that xfburn doesn't burn in a codec readable my most cd players? [00:52] Hey, can someone help me? I have a problem with a lost+found folder [00:52] lost+found how? [00:52] it's about 1-2 years old hitsujiTMO [00:52] sisterFister: what exact version of xubuntu are you trying to run? [00:52] problems with lost+found usually indicated a larger problem, such as a failing hard drive [00:52] Well, I am trying to build a cache.img using make_ext4fs [00:53] but whenever i do it an extra folder called lost+found is created [00:53] in the ache.img [00:53] so it messed up [00:53] *messes [00:53] that is normal, to have an empty lost+found [00:53] Luigi2012SM64DS: thats part of the filesystem [00:53] yes, but how can i stop ths from hapening? [00:53] hitsujiTMO: 12.04.3-desktop-amd64 [00:54] Luigi2012SM64DS: you cant [00:54] dang it [00:54] Luigi2012SM64DS: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2115/whats-lostfound-and-where-did-it-come-from [00:54] Luigi2012SM64DS: it's not an actual folder ... is part of the filesystem [00:54] http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/lostfound.html [00:55] Before I was able to make cache.img's using ubuntu with no problem [00:55] what is cache.img supposed to be for? [00:55] For Samsung Galaxy tab [00:55] im making a new root. [00:55] it is an actual directory hitsujiTMO , used by fsck [00:55] lost+found is normally made when the filesystems get fscked. [00:55] you can delete the directory if you want [00:55] Is there a way to configure XFburn to burn media that can be played back on a regular cd player? [00:55] sisterFister: i'd say you'd have to go for 13.10 to get it running. ubuntu 13.04 didn't even have propper support for your gfx [00:55] it is normal Luigi2012SM64DS , "ignore" it [00:56] yes, but this directory is created whenever i make the cache.img. [00:56] YaMoonSun: the buttons i see here in xfvurn says its playable in a normal cd player.. its always worked in my cd players [00:56] YaMoonSun: yea, you convert the say mp3 to a .wav [00:56] i delete it from the folder [00:56] i build cache [00:56] and poof [00:56] iut appears in [00:56] it* [00:56] Luigi2012SM64DS: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:56] Luigi2012SM64DS: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/lostfound.html [00:56] the tools making the cache are createing it i imagine Luigi2012SM64DS [00:56] How is that possible if I have done this before with no problems? [00:56] i dont see why an empty directory would hurt anything [00:57] Well, it's a .wav after it's been converted, but it's taking Audacious ages to detect all the newly burned song and my CD players refuses to detect them at all. [00:57] Eh, maybe i'm just crazy, ill try it out and see if it works. I just had problems before.l === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [00:58] hey guys, how can I encrypt my home folder after the fact (ie during install i opted out to do so) and also is LUKS apart of ubuntu natively? Does it allow for full disk encryption like truecrypt? === Pici is now known as TalkingMuffin [00:59] CD took 2 minutes to burn, and it's been nearly 10 minutes and the same computer that burned it has yet to detect the files on disc. [00:59] What do? [00:59] hitsujiTMO: xubuntu has 13.10? [00:59] sisterFister: http://xubuntu.org/news/saucy-salamander-final/ [00:59] chsados: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostInstallationEncryption [00:59] ty bodhi_zazen [01:00] basically, recovery mode then "ecryptfs-migrate-home --user you" [01:00] hitsujiTMO: was that the correct link? [01:00] back up any data first "just in case" [01:00] Hey.. when using CCSM.. as configuration is tedious i thought it would be a sane idea to export the configuration. Theres this choice to "include/exclude" defaults when doing that. But loading a configuarton wo defaults seems totally dangerous [01:00] encryuption makes data recovery difficult to impossible [01:00] hitsujiTMO: the actual downlaod page: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ [01:00] is there some good scheme for this [01:01] Squarism: what version of ubuntu are you using? [01:01] hitsujiTMO: ty [01:03] hitsujiTMO, 12.04 i think [01:04] good ubuntu behaving like a crack addict now [01:04] Squarism: i presume when it says "export" without defaults ... the import will merge it with your current config [01:05] hitsujiTMO, yeah.. that was my idea too [01:05] Squarism: just be careful what you do play with, as it can easily upset unity [01:06] Squarism: no way, tweak away, but use a test account =) [01:06] anyone try out btsync? two pretty much identical machines, web gui won't show on one of them (i enter username and password and it's just blank) [01:07] Welles_Lemuelson: please refrain from advertising and spamming users of this channel [01:07] hitsujiTMO, I just feel its VERY frustrating that most keybindings in ubuntu are not configurable wo ccsm. Further more.. the designers of unity/ubuntu seem to think people are using their computers to run an OS on vs and OS to run programs with.. ie ALL damn keykombinations are occupied by the OS making software that relies on hotkeys near unusable [01:08] PLUS.. ubuntu/unity devs say CCSM "not supported" [01:08] lol Squarism - use k/x/lubuntu or gnome =) [01:08] Sorry to jump straight in and ask an annoying question - but has anyone got the time to help me with installing Ubuntu as a 2nd (dual boot) os on a desktop with pre-installed Win 8 (asus mobo if it matters) [01:08] CCSM will be getting phased out in the next few reeases as will compiz [01:08] (I've read most of the pages I've found, but they seem to not be workign for me) [01:09] phyphor: just ask your question and maybe someone can help you [01:09] phyphor: state what you tried and what problem you had [01:09] Squarism: yes ... its a pita. once mir is up and running they will be looking to do away with compiz and all those effects will be handled differently. [01:09] Trying to install Ubuntu in UEFI mode, whichi I think I need to for Win 8 compatibility, I boot the dvd in UEFI mode [01:09] mir? [01:09] get teh text menu, but no options work [01:10] If I boot the DVD as non-uefi then I don't htink it installs in UEFI mode [01:10] hitsujiTMO, what is mir? [01:10] !mir [01:10] Mir is the next-generation display server currently under development by Canonical and Ubuntu. It's slated for inclusion in Ubuntu 14.04. For more information on it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec . For code, see https://launchpad.net/mir [01:10] did it boot to a black screen phyphor ? [01:10] which time? [01:11] oh, i thought "X window server" was removed by the switch to Unity [01:12] phyphor: you must boot in uefi mode in order to install the boot loader. can you try adding the nomodeset kernel parameter [01:12] Squarism: for better or worse, gnome2 and compiz are depreciated. While some tools such as ccsm may still work , anticipate more problems over time. Many users have had similar observations with Unity / Gnome 3, some use various other DE [01:12] If I boot off the DVD in UEFI mode it gives me the plain text menu, but none of the options work. [01:12] ok [01:12] trying again - boting off DVD in UEFI mode. I get the GNU GRUB text menu [01:13] I'm having trouble getting an update through update-manager. I'm wondering if anyone can help [01:13] bodhi_zazen, my plan would be to only use it for keybindings [01:13] hitsujiTMO: so drop to the install option, press e to edit, right? [01:13] wow I'm elidgeble for a custom google url what a privilige [01:13] I've used Synaptic to look into it. Apparently the package conflicts with itself [01:13] Dr_Willis, it worked. but however when i try and run pavucontrol it hangs on connecting to audio sever (exactly like this error): http://askubuntu.com/questions/70560/why-am-i-getting-this-connection-to-pulseaudio-failed-error [01:13] or rather the earlier version [01:13] phyphor: yes ... e to edit and after "quiet splash" add nomodeset [01:13] Ok, I've been working at this for a bit now trying not to bug and ask questions.. but I cannot seem to get a persistent usb stick to boot in the machine im working with [01:13] gdos: i know very little about sound trouble shooting [01:13] I keep getting missing operating system [01:14] esde: have you tried configuring the BIOS to look for a USB device insteda of the hard drive? [01:14] hitsujiTMO: then F10 to boot [01:14] phyphor: yes [01:14] Squarism: you might like http://askubuntu.com/questions/247331/how-do-i-remove-customize-unity-keyboard-shortcuts [01:14] There is no hdd installed, and im F12 booting to USB [01:14] Booting a command list. [01:15] I have not looked, but you can remove key bindings and re-define them [01:15] error: failure readinfg sector 0x6c00 from 'fd0' [01:15] error: you need to load the kernel first [01:15] I can't get past that in UEFI mode [01:16] phyphor: what version of Ubuntu ? [01:16] I'm not sure if it's a UEFI (bios) setting I need to change [01:16] bodhi_zazen: 13.10 [01:16] phyphor: can you do a checksum on the iso. [01:16] bodhi_zazen, it relies on ccsm too? [01:16] ouch, you might have to fall back to 12.04, uefi can be a problem on some laptops [01:16] luckybunny, There is no hdd installed, and im F12 booting to USB [01:17] Squarism: not to remove key bindings, and I bet you can write your own (not sure) without ccsm [01:17] hitsujiTMO: not from that screen - check disk for defects gives the same error [01:17] esde: looks like its not seeing the usb as a bootable device... how did you make it? [01:17] phyphor: can you do it in windows [01:17] I switched to an alternate DE ;) [01:17] I had the same problem with 2 differetnt download and burns [01:17] hrm [01:17] gparted shows it with boot flag enable hitsujiTMO [01:17] hitsujiTMO: if you tell me how when I get back in abotu 15 minutes - sorry, got to go deal with a pressing matter [01:17] phyphor: I have seen 2 laptops like that, uefi sometimes has bugs [01:18] how do i find the apt-get (name) of an app [01:18] bodhi_zazen, thanx for the info! [01:18] esde: yes but it might not have an mbr installed [01:18] shasf, apt-cache search [01:18] ahh [01:18] ty hitsujiTMO [01:18] apt-cache search [01:18] Squarism: I hope it at least gives you some more options is all, hope you can find something you like [01:18] phyphor: np [01:18] esde: what tool did you use to create it === me is now known as jdksah [01:20] anyone been able to place acestreams online? I'm trying to watch the world series, and the acestream I found looks to be faster than the flash one I'm currently watching. No love with these directions (adding a repo and apt-get install the -all option) [01:24] craigbass1976: Red Sox just scored again. [01:24] craigbass1976: 4-0 [01:24] I tried the usb startup disk tool first, then i tried unetbootin. I just opened gparted and tried setting the boot type to linux and got this error http://pastebin.com/8KBXs4r5 hitsujiTMO [01:25] someone was messing with my motorcycle- sorry [01:25] hitsujiTMO: so, boot into windows and ... ??

[01:26] Wow, the Cardinals really such. [01:27] phyphor: can you open command line and type: FCIV not sure if the tool is installed by default [01:27] phyphor: just a cautionary note ... I installed Ubuntu on a uefi system with uefi disabled, and after windows would not boot, had to re-install . If the defaults are not working there is a problem that may not have a simple answer and you might break windows ;) [01:27] profligacy, don't you blaspheme. Don't you BLASPHEME in HE-AH! [01:28] esde: can you open gparted. delete the partition and create a new fat32 partition. don't mark it bootable or anything. then use netbootin [01:28] hitsujiTMO: no fciv on this version of windows [01:28] bodhi_zazen: So far Windows is able to boot [01:28] bodhi_zazen, can ubuntu only be installed on it? [01:28] i might be getting a new laptop soon [01:28] I have specifically not been ,essing with the efi partitiomn [01:29] thiebaude: One laptop I coul ddual boot, windows with uefi enabled, ubuntu (or fedora) with uefi disabled [01:29] bodhi_zazen, but what if i wanted to just install ubuntu? [01:30] how do i find my vnc host display name [01:30] One laptop I broke bad, could boot linux without uefi, but was never able to recover windows, uefi broke and I did not have the windows recovery disk [01:30] phyphor: try this tool then http://www.nullriver.com/downloads/Install-winMd5Sum.exe and install, then right click the iso and check the md5 ... compare it with the hash on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [01:30] ok thanks bodhi_zazen [01:30] I dont know [01:30] thiebaude: boot ubuntu (or other) with uefi enabled, if it boots you shoulb be good to go [01:30] I think Linux Mint is the right choise! [01:30] ok cool, just wated to know [01:30] wanted [01:31] One laptop windows would boot with uefi disabled ("legacy" boot I think the bios called it) so I just left it disabled [01:31] bodhi_zazen: was it a non uefi windows install? [01:31] and that sums up my experience with uefi [01:32] hitsujiTMO: it booted both uefi and legacy, it was an early windows 7 release [01:32] hitsujiTMO: I've just grabbed fciv anyway [01:33] all I am really saying, ubuntu *should* boot and install with uefi enabled, if it does not, take care as you (or I) have broken windows by disabling uefi [01:34] bodhi_zazen, would be np for me since no other os besides ubuntu would be installed on it [01:34] wiped clean [01:35] thiebaude: well, either buy with no os, or linux pre-installed then ;) [01:35] hitsujiTMO: I don't have the ISO any more, just the burnt disc [01:35] http://laclinux.com/en/Start [01:35] Oh, wait, I have it on the other computer I burnt it on! [01:35] bodhi_zazen, i could just tell the store i dont agree with the ms terms of service,lol [01:35] :) [01:36] yep, but you still pay for windows that way [01:36] craigbass1976: There's another one. [01:36] What a horrible series... [01:36] ^^ [01:36] profligacy, i turned it off [01:37] phyphor: just run fciv -md5 on the iso file. and match it correct entry in the hash list i gave you earlier [01:38] Anyone know how to get the previously focused x window?

[01:40] not that much anymore [01:40] profligacy, [01:40] phyphor: can you try to burn it again at a slower speed [01:41] KillSnooki: The problem is that I can not get into BIOS even :/ I can hopefully recover my Windows that I did a recovery on and try to install again. [01:41] I burnt it at the slowest speed and verified after burning [01:41] why when I add 0.0.0.0 www.google.com into /etc/hosts and then browse to google.com it loads fine? This should not be loading. [01:41] DrGrov, did the laptop come with windows 8 installed on it? [01:41] phyphor: ok. in you're bios. enable legacy usb support (or disable it if it's already enbabled) [01:41] grkblood: www.google.com is not the same as google.com for /etc/hosts [01:42] KillSnooki: It did come with Windows 8 installed on it.

I did a full shutdown. It installed updates for me and then it restarted and then I did a shutdown.

[01:54] phyphor: looks like there's a compatibility issue with your uefi boot and either grub or the kernel them. if you boot in non uefi mode it it will not allow you to install a uefi setup and a non uefi setup most likely will break you're windows. if you wanted to try (and are able): you could try installing windows again as a non uefi install and then you should safely be able to install ubuntu [01:54] hitsujiTMO: I don't have the installation media, alas [01:55] phyphor: the other option would be to try ubuntu in a virtual machine [01:55] I am wondering if it's one of the other boot options, but there are oh so many [01:55] hitsujiTMO: I might have to, yes [01:55] I was hoping to avoid another abstraction layer, but needs must I suppose [01:55] thanks for your time and attention :) [01:56] hitsujiTMO, im trying a different usb now [01:56] phyphor: np at all [01:57] dont you guys ubuntu dev need to take a look at the tool apt-proz , i use it, it speeds up my update/upgrade process [01:57] would replacing windows with ubuntu, i.e. wiping my entire drive and installing ubuntu, make it run considerably faster? [01:57] apt-fast here [01:58] jonLarley: no [01:58] hitsujiTMO: dual booting or not it has no affect on how fast ubuntu works? [01:59] wilee-nilee: its using aria2 right, the aria2 resume is so bad, i tried it with uget, many of the files were completed before they were really done [01:59] any one knows where can i get ubuntu mobile [02:00] Romance, I'm not seeing a ppa with it above oneric [02:00] jonLarley: there's minimal effect. there can me a few small boosts from things like locating ubuntu on a part of the hdd thats fastest, but there would be no real noticable difference [02:01] hitsujiTMO: and there are no significant advantages outside of speed to replace your windows7 with ubuntu? [02:01] msdw: there is not ubuntu mobile. unbuntu touch is probably what you're reffering to: #ubuntu-touch [02:01] the phone version [02:01] wilee-nilee: need to add its ppa ppa:tahutek-team/prozilla [02:01] yeah found it thanks [02:02] jonLarley: no, there's no advantage, except maybe not seeing the grub boot option on the screen on inital boot. saves you like .... 3 seconds === LjL is now known as TheGhostOfLjL [02:02] msdw: #ubuntu-touch as i said. go there [02:03] and try to not be dissapointed with ubuntu touch at this time. :) === mini is now known as Guest33312 [02:03] ok thanks === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [02:04] i wish i wouldve tested the usb in another machine sooner...... it boots on another machine, looks like im troubleshooting a hardware issue :/ [02:04] why disapointed [02:04] how can i remove one specific unity web app?

[02:09] pero: web apps aren't a installed package... they're the offline cache of a page. if you can't find it in that folder check firefox settings [02:09] Dr_Willis, it worked. but however when i try and run pavucontrol it hangs on connecting to audio sever (exactly like this error): http://askubuntu.com/questions/70560/why-am-i-getting-this-connection-to-pulseaudio-failed-error [02:09] oops.

I know how to easily install them but I wanted to learn more on how to manage them. For example, if things went poorly and I wanted the older software what is the best way to handle this? Uninstall the new version of software, remove the ppa, then install the software from the unbuntu repositories? Is this the best approach to "roll" back to older [02:14] software? [02:14] hitsujiTMO: that's incorrect, it's either firefox or chromium - that's actually why chromium is still held back on 29 on the repo's (because of the downstream integration with the webapps) [02:15] greenhornlinux, ppa-purge [02:15] !ppa-purge | greenhornlinux at your own risk [02:15] greenhornlinux at your own risk: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [02:15] phyphor: there's a good chance trying that will damage you're windows install. [02:15] I wondered tha,t but if I don't tell it to touch the EFI partition it should be ok, right? [02:15] greenhornlinux, most any install in the cli will give you a list of what is installed. [02:16] being installed that is [02:16] okay thanks, if I didn't use ppa-purge would the above method I outlined do the same thing? [02:17] greenhornlinux, if you can perfectly uninstall the new hardware and make sure the replaced was back sure. [02:18] greenhornlinux, ppa-purge would be easier most likely, messing with ppa's has it's liabilities. [02:19] phyphor, You have the windows backed up yet? [02:20] or some plan incase bricked [02:20] wilee-nilee: hm... yeah, that is why I was trying to figure out the best way to manage them. I haven't had issues as of yet, just wanted to understand it a bit better. I suppose if I attempted manually I would have to make sure any of the newer libraries and such were purged too as to not cause conflict with the older software. I will have to read up more on ppa-purge but I am assuming all of that is taken care of for you. [02:20] wilee-nilee, are you in here every night? [02:20] :) [02:20] pretty much [02:21] wilee-nilee: I have my documents, etc on a separate partition [02:21] I guess I could dd the whole drive to a spare drive [02:21] and day, I have little other responsibilities and very little here. ;) [02:21] phyphor: well, the problem is is that it needs to create a bios boot partition, and will not be efi aware at that time so may mess up. [02:22] phyphor, I would not dd it it has an imager built in for at least one backup up to the pro version, clonezilla will do it repeatedly. [02:22] hitsujiTMO: I have the space to set up a bios boot partition [02:22] if that's sensible [02:22] dd can destroy the original at times depending on how you use it [02:22] wilee-nilee, awesome! im trying to insert myself into the ubuntu community, im a php (L.A.M.P) developer [02:22] wilee-nilee: you need to get in and out the right way round :) [02:23] mheinke, I'm on the cursory, not a developr or IT person.

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:24] PCLinux, linux bible [02:24] phyphor: seems the best to do is to create the bios boot partition manually before running the install. [02:25] PCLinux: any printed book on 'ubuntu' might be a bit out of date. pay attention to the release. and dont expect a 'general' book to cover everything. ;) [02:25] PCLinux, also..the Linux from scratch manual [02:25] phyphor: but do try to dd the drive first [02:25] If I really wanted its skills I would grey hat and make some money from business or government by employment [02:25] PCLinux: for real physical books. watch the bargin bins at the bookstores. :) anything by the Oreaily guys is worth checking out [02:26] PCLinux, the two things i shared will: 1) give you tons of knowledge into linux, 2) give you the nessessary skills to run ANY linux system (and even roll your own) [02:26] I appreciate that, Dr._Willis and also do these books cover things like, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics?

[03:06] Romance, 12.04 is funky with the shell, 3.4.1 in the repos is the best idea. [03:06] hitsujiTMO: the noobslab ppa, i followed exactly that website guide to install gnome extension shell under 12.04, no single step missed [03:06] Romance: did you install a ppa for 11.10? [03:06] hi [03:07] wilee-nilee: yes i removed the noobslab ppa and do update, but when i install gnome-shell, it gave me that error [03:07] gnome shell on 12.04 can be flakey i recall [03:07] hitsujiTMO: i dont know i followed exactly the guide from that website [03:07] Romance: put the ppa back in and use ppa purge [03:07] Romance, YOu did not run the purge? [03:07] !ppa-purge [03:07] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [03:07] i did purge with autoremove as well [03:07] that --purge [03:07] Romance: looks like it was targeted for 11.10 -> 0ubuntu1~11.10~ricotz0 [03:08] ye how do i fix this, im on recovery mode [03:08] Romance, ppa-purge not just purge [03:08] got a question concerning Ubuntu Studio, 13.10. It's simple noob question [03:09] willie_: surpisingly ppa-purge is not come by default so i need to install ppa-purge [03:09] Romance, Not the same, ppa-purge use sptitude and another to remove the installs and restore stock, generally. [03:09] hello,kelly, [03:09] aptitude* [03:10] hi [03:10] im new to this softwear [03:10] willie_, You aware of #ubuntustudio just in case? [03:10] hi,marmon [03:11] hi some1033 [03:11] guys shouldn't Vboxadditions be in aplications/system/terminal??? [03:11] No. I just hopped on Xchat and it shot me overhere. [03:11] but I will go over there. [03:11] Guest60707, Installed from the vbox gui I believe [03:11] yea [03:11] i am too.marmon [03:11] Thanks for the directions. Enjoy the evening! [03:12] only thing i couldn't install yet was vboxadditions,can't find it anywhere [03:12] Guest60707, file-preferences-extensions [03:12] i dont know how to use this software [03:13] Guest60707, YOU add yourself to the vbox config? [03:13] think so [03:13] where are you from,marmon [03:13] Guest60707... run Vbox, then add the additions ISO as a drive to the IDE controller [03:13] vbox homepage - has a very noice manual on using vbox [03:14] Guest60707: vbox addations - does not have a system/menu icon - since its used by vbox. its not a stand alone app. [03:14] Guest60707... after creating the VM [03:14] Australia [03:14] ahh...okok [03:15] i wish you could play minecraft on here [03:15] irc minecraft? ;) [03:16] * Dr_Willis runs from the creepers [03:16] can you speak chinese ,marmon [03:16] they have it on windows [03:16] marlon: have what on windows exactly? [03:16] wilee-nilee: ok i ppa-purge and its updated the list but looks like i already removed the ppa (with that --purge) , so try with apt-get install gnome-shell, still giving me that same error [03:16] minecraft is java and runs on linux [03:17] Romance: apt-get update [03:17] Romance: wait! [03:17] oh sec [03:17] huh [03:17] i using virtualbox [03:17] hitsujiTMO: [03:17] did you use the ppa-purge tool or --purge? [03:18] marlon - install the java virtual machine (JVM) from the ubuntu software center, and minecraft will work just fine; it's the same as windows: install the JVM, then run minecraft [03:18] marlon: you might want to be a bit more detailed in your statements. we barely know what you are meaning [03:18] Romance, You would add the ppa back install the gnome shell then run the ppa-purge. [03:20] hitsujiTMO: sorry, one more question, how much space does the base OS usually take up? [03:20] Romance, the ppa-purge need to see all the packages that should be there to run correctly basically. [03:21] in a perfect world antway, lol [03:21] anyway* [03:21] im installing java 7 [03:21] hitsujiTMO: with purge, apt-get update and tried to install still give same error [03:22] wilee-nilee: huh need to add it back? [03:22] phyphor: about 6gb + your swap file (swap is same as ram) .... you should have a minimum of 10GB on top of that as free space (i'd recommend minimum of 20gb [03:22] im new [03:22] Romance, that would be the logical move, have you ever heard of aptitude, it uses it and another package app [03:22] hitsujiTMO: even in a virtual environment? [03:22] Romance: you need to add it all back in ... then install the ppa-purge tool. then then ppa-purge. [03:23] phyphor: yeah [03:23] phyphor: should give it a 30gb drive minimum if you're going to use it a lot [03:23] wilee-nilee, hitsujiTMO: ah ok so i add the noobslab ppa again, install gnome-shell, and do a ppa-purge ? [03:23] Romance, Remember your question could you do this, I said yes if done perfectly, not really a option for most. [03:23] it's not going to do much [03:23] it's going to play music off the main system [03:24] and stream it to teh woooorld [03:24] this is ard [03:24] phyphor: you can cut it down to 20gb then. [03:25] hard [03:25] good plan [03:25] on it now [03:28] morning to all [03:28] evening [03:28] hi [03:28] night [03:30] phyphor, you can make it 100gb and set it as dynamically allocated too [03:32] wilee-nilee, hitsujiTMO: ok now it installed the gnome shell for 11.10 , Setting up gnome-shell (3.4.1+git20120521.41a14e80-0ubuntu1~11.10~ricotz0) [03:32] so i just ppa-purge ? [03:32] Romance, waht release are you running? [03:32] 12.04 [03:32] Romance, what was the ppa you used? [03:33] ppa:noobslab/gnome [03:33] i think it takes from there [03:34] Romance, So you had used this in 11.10 and upgraded to 12.04 and decided to mess with it right? [03:34] wilee-nilee: no, this is a fresh install 12.04 [03:34] Romance, That ppa has a 12.04 version, which did you load? [03:34] http://www.noobslab.com/2012/04/install-gnome-shell-34-and-extensions.html [03:35] i followed exactly from that site [03:35] Romance, Cool that should be the 12.04 version, so you have to ass the ppa-purge ppa I believe, here comes the bot [03:35] !ppa-purge [03:35] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [03:35] im new to this software [03:36] wilee-nilee: what should i ppa-puge [03:36] purge* [03:36] Romance, 12.04 uses a ppa for the purge I believe and the later releases it is in the ubuntu repos I believe. [03:37] huh? [03:37] hi [03:37] I have two files and I want to compare them to know the line numbers in where they differ, is there a program to do that? I need to compare the output of my program with an online judge's output [03:37] wilee-nilee: i dont get it [03:37] Romance: install ppa-purge [03:37] hitsujiTMO: i already had ppa-purge [03:38] romance: sudo ppa-purge ppa:noobslab/gnome [03:38] Romance... sudo ppa-purge ppa:noobslab/gnome [03:39] im watching a movie [03:39] sec [03:39] hello [03:39] hi [03:40] marlon99: plz keep this channel for support only, you can talk about movies in #ubuntu-offtopic mate [03:41] justasking, but, is there an irc channel for elementary os, an ubuntu distro? [03:41] *just asking [03:41] !asis [03:41] !alis [03:41] alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [03:41] lotuspsychje: yeah, seems nothing preserves file permissions :( [03:42] linux_unix-10: their homepage may mention their irc channel also. [03:42] linux_unix-10: #elementary [03:42] hitsujiTMO: maybe we can ask here [03:42] #elementaryos as well [03:42] linux_unix-10: and its not an ubuntu disrto. ;) its based on ubuntu 12.04 last i looked however. :) [03:42] why does it say "dpkg: warning: downgrading gnome-shell-common from 3.4.1+git20120521.41a14e80-0ubuntu1~11.10~ricotz0 to 3.4.1-0ubuntu2." , does it mean 11.10 got latest gnome compare to 12.04? [03:42] still based on ubuntu [03:42] any alternative for dropbox that could preserve ubuntu file permissions? [03:42] linux_unix-10, join #elementaryos [03:43] thanks [03:43] lotuspsychje: they all ignore permissions for windows compat ... even ubuntu one :( [03:43] Romance: or that ppa had a newer version then whats the default in 12.04 [03:44] ok soooo if after 20 minutes of non-use ... my screen dims ... to save power .... BUT when I use the brightness slider and nothing happens [03:44] what does this mean?

[03:52] how can i fix this prob ? [03:52] if you really want the best gnome-shell experience you should be trying the latest ubuntu release. since it has the newer gnome shell [03:52] guest-77RakO, any history leading to this?

[04:30] ? [04:30] xgeek-cub, nope [04:30] !dist-upgrade | xgeek-cub [04:30] xgeek-cub: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [04:31] and even though I told it to installupdates during installation, immeditely post install it has updates - hitsujiTMO is this common? I've never had this number of ussies with previous versions [04:31] anyone have a clue how to start troubleshooting my machine that won't suspend? It suspends and then immediately wakes up on its own! [04:31] phyphor: i don't think i've ever actually see it update anything during installation. [04:31] anyone know the process for installing gtx680 graphics drivers for unbuntu [04:32] wolftune, unplug the mouse and see if it happens [04:32] wilee-nilee: there's no mouse, no peripherals at all [04:32] wolftune, Ah, hmm, laptop? [04:32] wolftune: laptop? [04:32] i think updated during install. updates a core set of packages. [04:33] like security only updates [04:33] * mlt- is shocked... touchpad scroll repeat was ditched http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/10208/ Did this patch go through? [04:33] Dr_Willis: probably. even a debootstap install doesn't install the latest of everything [04:33] * Dr_Willis dosent even know what 'touchpad scroll repeat' would mean. [04:33] the daily do [04:35] touchpad scroll sucks.....oh wait, what is it. [04:35] Dr_Willis: I have separate buttons for up/down scrolling. Now I have constantly to press those instead of holding, e.g. in a browser [04:36] wilee-nilee: hmm, I wonder if my touchpad is sending signals when I don't touch it or something else… [04:36] pretty annoying [04:37] the question is: how can I check what signals that would wake the computer are being sent to troubleshoot?? [04:37] wolftune, That was my thought, as far as a mouse getting vibrations "man" [04:37] wolftune: more than likely its a kernel module not working properly [04:37] hitsujiTMO: ah, this did seem to happen with the 3.11 kernel I install as backport… [04:38] wolftune: have you googled to see if others are having the same issue? [04:38] wolftune: with your laptop model that is [04:38] hitsujiTMO: I don't google I duckduckgo. But yeah, I did some searches but don't know how to search [04:38] hitsujiTMO: like what to type [04:38] I mean I did obvious searches [04:38] wolftune: what is your laptop model? === jmgk is now known as FrankenBallmer [04:39] anyway, the same laptop (Thinkpad Twist) was fine before, so it does seem to be a 3.11 issue [04:39] except sometimes with 3.11 it works correctly [04:39] so it's not consistent always, it's sometimes ok [04:40] wolftune, unity desktop? [04:40] wolftune: whats the output of: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep xmir [04:40] hitsujiTMO: so searching shows up all sorts of issues about waking and suspending but dunno how to isolate search to this issue [04:41] hitsujiTMO: not using mir [04:41] wilee-nilee: I'm actually on KDE [04:41] It's Ubuntu but I have KDE installed, not Unity [04:42] wolftune, same in both de? [04:42] wolftune: you should at least report a bug. only bugs im seeing are reported against xmir [04:42] wilee-nilee: I only use KDE [04:43] wolftune, I remember years ago I had a Thinkpad running Ubuntu and the touchpad was all over the place until I messed around with synaptics. I can't really remember what i did, but you could search for that. [04:43] hitsujiTMO: how can I clarify the bug? Is there a way to even figure out what is waking the computer up? [04:43] wolftune: last comment here reports a *fix* https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1213233 [04:43] wolftune, You could make another user and see if it happens there.

Got a new system and it didnt come wigh an os..... [05:04] Ii wanted to load linux on it. However when he load screen comes up [05:04] alpha-android, linux or ubuntu? [05:05] Iit asks me if i want to install or run off cd. Doesnt matter what i choose it then voes to a grey screen hen nothing [05:05] Ubuntu [05:05] !nomodeset | alpha-android [05:05] alpha-android: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [05:05] !nomodeset | alpha-android [05:05] alpha-android, Make sure the disc is good check the sum [05:06] Gotten where i dont need nomodeset for any of my nvidia systems any more. ;) [05:06] alpha-android: I also suggest nomodeset [05:07] alpha-android: what is the video card/chipset on the pc? [05:07] My new system has an nvidia gf gt630 [05:07] then nomodeset may be needed. [05:08] Running intel i3 [05:08] still nomodeset [05:08] And how do i input this command [05:08] once you get the system installed. you may then need to install the proper nvidia drivers [05:08] When I try to run this command (sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs+504M) it outputs this: dd: memory exhausted by input buffer of size 528482304 bytes [05:08] bs=504M* [05:08] read the url the bot pasted above.. shows how to enable nomodeset [05:09] qwebirc: you dont want to use 504mb for a Block size.

[05:09] my ram is 504 MB [05:09] qwebirc: i dont know why someone would say such a silly thing [05:09] qwebirc: they wanted to kill your ram mostlikely === zack6849|Offline is now known as zack6849 [05:10] we are telling you to NOT use such a insane number [05:10] 4mb would be plenty [05:10] so 4MB is cool [05:10] Thanks [05:11] qwebirc: i've actualyl found not specifying a blacksize to be faster with some SSDs [05:11] while(true); do kill -USR1 `pgrep -l dd | egrep ' dd$' | awk '{ print $1 }'`; sleep 5m; done [05:11] qwebirc: but yeah. if you're going to specify something. 4M is good [05:12] Can this be used to check the status of the wipe? [05:12] try it and see. [05:12] ;) [05:12] well what would you suggest to check the status? [05:13] id just start it running.. then to fix supper.. [05:13] it will quit when its done.. [05:13] qwebirc: ive only ever just ran and headed off to do somethign else and not worry about it [05:13] Okay then [05:13] wish me luck bye [05:13] qwebirc: you could also use offsets [05:22] Popped my head in to say hi, [05:22] i dont know if this is modifiying a dev rule , BUT i figured out how to manually over ride the bluetooth. the command is [05:22] Hi! [05:23] What you trying to do ganjaherbs? [05:24] daveyg: just comletely disable bluetooth on start up. [05:24] ie not load the module or daemon [05:25] Doesnt bluetooth load just the same as a wifi card? [05:25] ganjaherbs, You have a gui? [05:25] right so we have to disable the daemon that handles the module and i also blacklisted the module as well [05:25] wilee-nilee: yes [05:26] wilee-nilee: 13.10 desktop on thinkpad x220 [05:26] ganjaherbs, I turn it off in startup applications, not sure if that works for you. [05:26] Only say that as i have a wifi card i dont like loading on boot so i use a bash script to run on boot to kill it. [05:26] wilee-nilee: well i ran the sed one liner to show hidden startup but bluetooth doesnt show up on saucy now [05:27] heh, not surprised [05:27] heaven forbid you need can you remember all that? [05:27] wilee-nilee: i guess sure [05:28] ah long term is okay, hehe [05:28] well al it is is i have the echo manual over ride and the blacklist [05:29] wilee-nilee: so far i only added uvcvideo and bluetooth to the blacklist === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [05:29] ah [05:31] hi [05:31] I am here [05:31] finally [05:31] wilee-nilee: i have noticed people getting the < | > command mixed up with the ">>" command [05:31] easy done. [05:32] ganjaherbs, Not sure what you mean, I'm just a bystander overall. [05:32] no code here [05:33] i still dont understand the pipe command really, the > or >> ive just about got my head around. [05:33] how to run add-apt repository without asking for user permission [05:33] means i will run that in sh script [05:33] i am only 3 chapters in to this Linux command line book and its been 6 months i started trying to learn it. [05:34] check its command line options [05:34] daveyg: just think of bash as a colection of rivers and you need to pipe a stream from one river to the next [05:34] ola2: it may have some --yes option [05:34] ganjaherbs: the basics shouldent take very long.. then you learn what you need as you need it [05:35] ola2: do you have root privs? [05:35] ganjaherbs... trying to remember all of it is the hard part ;) [05:35] I'm using MonoDevelop as an IDE for Ubuntu and whenever I use "using System.Net.Sockets;" I get the following error: http://www.byond.com/members/Xirre/files/Net%20Namespace.png [05:35] Any idea why? [05:35] ola2: add-apt-repository --help shoes a --yes option [05:35] thank you willis [05:35] if so you can use sudo -s [05:35] u saved a lots of work [05:35] ola2: all i did was read the docs. :) well the --help outpuyt [05:36] most of the apt tools have a --yes option [05:36] that will allow you root privs within that cli. [05:36] dr willis just i want to save day [05:36] so its like that asking experts [05:36] thanks a lot [05:36] is there a CD sized iso for ubuntu 13.10? [05:37] I don't have a dvd burner [05:37] bash 101 lesson #4 commandname --help or commandname -help often gives a quick help guide. ;) [05:37] Arch_NME: you could use a flash drive [05:37] I don't have one of those either [05:37] Hey everyone, my system already has 3 primary parititions (ntfs), I want to install ubuntu 13.10, how do I install it on a logical partition? [05:37] Arch_NME: thats how most people install these days. [05:37] Ive learnt so much from irc ola2 [05:37] !mini | Arch_NME [05:37] Arch_NME: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:37] it's 1:37am at my location and all I have is a cd burner and blank CDs [05:37] * Dr_Willis looks at his necklace of 12+ flash drives.... ;) [05:38] Arch_NME, use the net install very tiny. [05:38] lubuntu Might fit on a cd. [05:38] Arch_NME: unlucky man, i found an 8 gb flash drive at a bus stop the other day.... [05:38] ahh, yes that sounds perfect [05:38] Dr_Willis: and you look mighty pretty too :D with that necklace [05:38] i got a 16gb flash drive thats so tiny its barely noticeable when plugged in. :) [05:38] Arch_NME: the mini cd is no good if you want to do a uefi install tho [05:38] or no wait, text basedis no god [05:39] I need a live CD [05:39] Arch_NME: then try lubuntu. why do you NEED a live cd to install? [05:39] cant you install 10.04 off a cd then use then internet connection to upgrade? Arch_NME? [05:39] Arch_NME: external cdr/dvr drive? [05:39] I needto run gparted to repartition my drive prior to the install [05:39] Anyone? [05:39] daveyg, 10,04 would need a eol upgrade not really a positive. [05:39] Arch_NME: theres the cli fdisk and parted tools [05:39] Sup Snake2k? [05:40] Arch_NME: and cfdisk. [05:40] I got to do complicated stuff [05:40] I want a gui [05:40] Arch_NME: the mini cd is only a text based installer. you can still install the graphical environment with it [05:40] so you want to install from a hdd partition? can you do that? [05:40] I've got a software raid5 thing going that I need to resize [05:40] Arch_NME: theres a gparted live cd iso you can get [05:40] Whats eol wilee-nilee? [05:40] but i know nothing about raid. ;) [05:40] daveyg, end of life [05:40] it's ubuntu softwareraid so I thought I would need ubuntu to fix it [05:40] no? [05:40] daveyg: I need to install ubuntu 13.10.. now the system already has 3 primary partitions, when i make logical parititions they don't show up on the installer, when there is unallocated space the ubuntu installer says "unusable".. So do i get this to work [05:41] daveyg: I cannot turn a whole physical parition into ext4 [05:41] maybe I will just try the gparted CD first, thanks [05:41] Snake2k, You need a extended to contain logicals [05:41] its a handy cd to have. [05:42] def. [05:42] I just hope it can resize a software raid [05:42] that grml live cd - is alwo handy. but its more for power-admin type users. ;) [05:42] or even recognize it [05:42] wilee-nilee: do I have to turn one of my physical partitions into extended? will there be data loss? [05:42] i bet its something to do with the mbr rather than the way your formating the drive. [05:42] Snake2k: you mean 'primary' not 'physical' i think [05:42] Dr_Willis: oh yea sorry lol [05:43] You can have 4 primary partions max on non-gpt systems.. ONE of those can be an extended that holds logicals [05:43] daveyg: as in raring ringtail eol is SOON !!! [05:43] Snake2k, It would help if we could see a screen shot of gparted, at least me anyway. [05:43] wilee-nilee: Im using windows to make those partitions. [05:43] Snake2k, YOU can't make ext type partitions in windows [05:44] :/ [05:44] wilee-nilee: Isn't there any way to just use the wubi way to install ubuntu on windows? :/ the alongside windows thing just reboots into windows.. [05:44] wilee-nilee: because they are Linux partitions right? [05:44] Snake2k, My bet is you have 4 primaries the boot does not show in it;s partitioner. [05:44] although you should be able to drop ubuntu on a dis-used partion and format to ext? [05:44] ganjaherbs, loosely yes. [05:45] wilee-nilee: Yea i guess its 4 because of the system reserve thing too.. [05:45] wilee-nilee: ie as in Unix/Linux and POSIX [05:45] Snake2k, Any one but the boot can go in the extended, the firmware is commonly used. [05:46] Snake2k: HAVE YOU TRIED A LIVE USB CREATED WITH UNETBOOTIN? [05:46] ops caps [05:46] Snake2k, This is not a W8 uefi right? [05:46] using gpart will def allow you to make an ext partion [05:47] but ubuntu cd should do that for you anyway [05:47] you could create a ext partition running a live session from a flash drive created with unetbootin? [05:47] backup everything.. befor messing with messing around your partions.. ;) [05:47] +1 [05:47] ganjaherbs: I made the usb from the "universal usb installer" from pendrivelinux.com [05:47] where is the fun in that? [05:47] ganjaherbs: yes. ou can install/run gparted from a live usb [05:47] wilee-nilee: Nope [05:47] Snake2k: unetbootin is better IMO [05:48] Snake2k, cool I have short job I do in a moment nightly so others can help if needed. [05:48] ganjaherbs: Could that be the problem why alongside windows doesn't work? [05:48] Snake2k: yes [05:48] dont install linux to a pen drive etc and think it will keep working, [05:48] wilee-nilee: Thank :) [05:48] Snake2k: try again using unetbootin and set the disk space allowed for file ..... to 9999 [05:48] unless you really know what your doing it will cause all kinds of problems in the near future [05:48] ganjaherbs: Will do that now :) [05:49] Snake2k: ok [05:49] ive done full install to flash drives ;) ran fine.. [05:50] ganjaherbs: Btw just need to know one thing.. when i do a alongside windows, and if the system reboots, should i just let it continue or make it boot from usb. [05:50] live usb installs are best used for short term tasks. [05:50] Snake2k: choose the "install along side " option from the unetbootin grub menu [05:50] Doe for a while Dr_Willis, but i find in the end it fails. [05:50] Snake2k: after it instgalls and reboots you dont need the flash drive any more. [05:50] Snake2k: no reset your bios to boot from hdd [05:50] ganjaherbs: Dr_Willis: Thank you very much, I will do that now and let you guys know :) [05:51] daveyg: ran for almost 6 months+ that way. :) not had my 16gb flash have issues.. but it was a big $8 so im not worried [05:51] $8 [05:51] ive had more hard drive failures then i have had flash drive failures.. unless you count the flash drives going throught the clothes washer/dryer as a failure. ;) [05:51] my problem happened if i changed usb port. [05:52] change usb port? cant say ive ever had that be an issue. booted a full usb flash install on differnt machines and ports. [05:52] just have to watch out what drivers you install ;) if switching machines. [05:53] Dr_Willis: ganjaherbs: unetbootin doesn't have options for 13.10 :/ [05:54] Snake2k: i used it already.. are you sure? [05:54] i use tools from the pendrivelinux site.. not unetbootin [05:54] Snake2k... select the ISO. [05:54] If your good with linux Dr_Willis then thats straight forward. [05:54] but for most of us newbies it can be the end of the road. [05:54] theres a multisystem tool i use that lets me have several disrtos/isos on the same flash [05:55] Snake2k... at the bottom of the unetbootin window [05:55] ganjaherbs: ObrienDave: found the thing lol [05:55] daveyg: with the use of UUID's there sholdent be an issue with running from USB and changeing ports. unles theres some odd hardware quirk on the pc [05:56] Okay its creating the usb [05:56] you seem to know what your talking about Dr_Willis. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [05:56] hi, is there away for apt-get to only 'update' specific repo? [05:56] Im running ubuntu 12 [05:57] daveyg: he is Linux certified if that is what you mean? [05:57] im certified insane... [05:57] ;) [05:57] linux certified??? [05:57] Dr Insane [05:57] yes, we know LOL [05:57] sometimes for no reason it freezes [05:58] Is there a way to record the errors before i get locked out? [05:58] Arch_NME: compTiA LInux+ Certification [05:58] If it was a windows pc i would turn on error reporting ? is there something simular? [05:59] daveyg: install the ssh service. ssh in from another box and monitor the logs and see what happens when it freezes. [05:59] if SSH also freezes then its a deep issue.. if its just X freezeing. then its a driver/X issue [05:59] Wouldnt work. [06:00] Arch_NME: Dr Willis could probly pass it while drink [06:00] Arch_NME: Dr Willis could probly pass it while drinknk [06:00] oops [06:00] I would think that when the freeze happens you would not even get a ping back from the ip [06:01] Dr_Willis: could you take the test while drunk and pass it with flying colors? [06:01] Is there anyone who can help me set up a new partition in fstab? I've tried and it isn't working === hakr is now known as h[a]kr [06:03] cindyP: you should tell us what machine you are using [06:03] cindyP: you tried something like gpart's boot cd? [06:03] hmm machine? Lenovo [06:03] cindyP: OS? [06:04] I have a working system working Ubuntu 12.04 just want to mount a partition ext4 for some extra space [06:04] gparted [06:04] Did gparted to create and format the partition [06:04] But just to load a drive. [06:05] what about webmin? [06:05] I created mount point in /media [06:05] [06:05] I edited fstab but I can't access the drive - permission problem? [06:05] makes loading a drive really easy without knowing what your really doing with linux mount options? [06:06] don't think I have webmin [06:06] cindyP: there is a command you need to run and post the output to pastebin but i dont know the command.. they can help you then === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [06:07] cindyP: maybe try http://www.webmin.com/deb.html [06:07] cindyP: what is the filesystem on the new partition? [06:07] hi there [06:08] once you have it running you should be able to pick any drive, mount it and tell it to auto mount every time you boot. [06:08] file system is ext4 [06:08] what you think ganjaherbs? [06:09] what partition /dev/# is it? [06:09] daveyg: it is out of my leaugeu right now but i suggest checking the ubuntu forums [06:09] well, in case anyone is curious gaparted can see my software raid but it won't let me resize it [06:10] cindyP: http://askubuntu.com/questions/232790/automount-ext4-partition-with-user-permission-ownership-fstab [06:10] that should about sum it up [06:10] Arch_NME: there is a boot cd that will let you change partion size [06:11] thanks ganjaherbs - let me digest that link for a moment [06:11] i know its out there because ive done it before [06:11] !raid [06:11] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [06:11] cindyP: thats what its all about.. doing the homework.. no real way around it:) [06:12] Whats the reason behind what your trying to do cindyP? [06:12] That command didnt qork [06:13] I'm having trouble with a dual-boot windows 7/ ubuntu 13.10 installation, if anyone can help me, here's my problem: after installing windows 7 ultimate N, I then proceeded to install ubuntu 13.10 and the partitioner created some strange soup sandwich of partitions and told me my swap file wasn't big enough. Before I made the swap file larger with the ubuntu installer's partition tool, I noticed that there were two rand [06:13] hi alpha-android. [06:13] Hi davey === Amir_ is now known as Guest49416 [06:14] Im tryinv to get ubuntu to load on cd. It just wont do it. It goes to thw option screen then whatwver i choose it just voes to a grey screen and does nogi g [06:15] whats up alpha-android? im an android fan so thought i would say hi. [06:15] alpha-android: try the mini cd perhaps? it uses a text based installer [06:16] Someone suggested unetbootin [06:16] alpha-android... neither will help if you have a bad DL [06:16] HI, got a question regarding file sharing between ubuntu and windows. I set it up, ubuntu can see the windows machine, but when I try to access it, it gives "Failed to retreive share list from server". When I did a tcpdump to checkout what's happening, I see that the Login is failing. It's not prompting me to enter the Windows user name, so windows is rejecting the connection. Any ideas on how to fix this? [06:16] linux_is_my_hero: dont no if this would help but maybe, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [06:16] ObrienDave: hash sum? [06:16] daveyg: thanks! :-) [06:17] ganjaherbs... yep MD5 is your friend [06:17] guest, smb share === ubuntu is now known as Guest18767 [06:17] !md5 [06:17] anudas: what do you mean by "smb share"? [06:17] 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 [06:18] guest, try to learn somethink about sms or samba [06:18] smb [06:18] anudas: kinda trying to... any helpful hints? [06:18] ganjaherbs: the chown command seems to have done the trick. Going to reboot now to recheck thanks [06:18] What was that command again for nvidia cards? I have my nvidia hooked into the monitor. Maybe i should hook it up to the onboard instead and see if it installs. But then i will have to try install dfivers [06:19] daveyg: how do i just remove all partitions except the one that windows is on, so i can force ubuntu to do a clean install with the remaining 70 of 320 GB? ubuntu never fully installed when i tried to install it [06:20] may have solved cindy's issue [06:20] just boot from the install cd. [06:20] I think this is my answer: http://webapp5.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/SuSe-Dokumentation/manual/sles-manuals_en/manual/raidresize.html [06:20] should allow you to pick where you install it to. [06:21] daveyg: i do that and it gives me some rubbish about partitions not being proper. i notice that the root partition is only 4GB and the swap is only 4GB. i can adjust the swap size, but not the root size. [06:21] if i remember correctly you have to hit the advanced rather than clicking through [06:22] You dont so happen to have a motherboard that is set to raid? [06:22] daveyg: no raid [06:23] Do you have a spare hdd that you can put into that pc? [06:23] nope [06:23] i could format the hdd from the bios and start over and install windows and then ubuntu...any other ideas? [06:24] You have windows running okay i guess? [06:24] yes :-) [06:24] linux_is_my_hero, can you screen shot gparted from the live cd and imagebin it? [06:24] do you have a partion apart from windows to use? [06:24] ubuntu software center, system, NFS [06:25] wille-nilee: i can do that, but i have to log out and come back [06:25] format the hd from the bios? [06:25] Dr-Willis: yes, format the hd from the bios [06:25] cant sayive ever seen a bios that could format a Hard drive [06:26] im with Dr_Willis!

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [06:30] Did it ever work ubuntu_? [06:30] any geeks in here? [06:31] lol [06:31] ubottu thanks! [06:31] am i losing my mind or is this not making sense? [06:31] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [06:31] R0b0t1: use the package manager tools and look for the SDL* -dev packages [06:31] yes it was working the first time I installed it. [06:31] english :-) [06:32] I guess i fall into into the geek cat AngryNinja, why? [06:32] R0b0t1: or use the 'sudo apt-get build-deps packagename' (or ws it build-dep) to pull in all needed dev packages for a package to compile [06:32] AngryNinja, just freaks [06:32] I think windows might have something to do with changing the init file.. [06:32] lol daveyg, it was just a conv starter. I never know what to say in these things [06:32] xmetal... since you haven't asked anything, you must be losing your mind [06:32] ;) [06:33] xmetal: did you look under the couch? theres where my mind normally is when loose it. [06:33] Im in, What you up to AngryNinja? [06:33] was talking about the "carpet on trash" type comments [06:33] lol [06:34] how do you build software from source [06:34] LMAO yup, gotcha [06:34] i keep mine on a leash so if it trys to get away, it cant get far [06:34] not much daveyg, just trying to figure out something in linux...was hoping I could come here and pick someones brain [06:34] u? [06:34] I believe it was because of dual boot of Windows and Ubuntu which might have caused the problem [06:34] build software from source is easy, Save up and pay someone! [06:34] nobody talks on #ubuntu-es -.- [06:34] ubuntu_, Rather unlikely, but go ahead. [06:35] the dual boot sort of yes, windows unlikely [06:36] ubuntu_, Have you checked the sum of the iso or disc? how fast was it burnt? [06:36] AngryNinja: snet over a pm if that makes it easier for you to start. === xubuntu is now known as Guest87077 [06:37] LuisGere... okay, what do you mean by 'carpet on trash'? [06:38] a file that i erase [06:38] wilee-nilee: the amount of times if failed installing linux because of a poor download [06:38] and then i can't empty the trash [06:38] i don't know why [06:38] LuisGere, This root trash? [06:39] from cli, rm -r then folder name [06:39] no root, [06:39] i try with rm -r and it don't works [06:40] * xmetal scratches head [06:40] rm -r :-) nonback command :-) [06:40] i think that i have to empty like a root user [06:40] !trash [06:40] Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [06:40] sudo first? [06:40] makes sense to me [06:40] thanks i going to try it ubottu [06:42] okkkkkkkkk re-reading it i think i got it ... file got deleted, and its in the trash can but they want to empty the trash can it "something is not allowing it to empty" and that file is still there (in the can) [06:42] * xmetal yawns [06:42] what's it happens? a file was create only [06:43] and them i can't empty the trash, it can be virus? [06:43] yes xmetal [06:43] Is there a (or expected) problem if too many files are stored in one directory? [06:43] virus on linux? [06:43] LuisGere: virus? Your windows mindset is showing [06:43] i don't think so, right? [06:44] LuisGere: whats the exact path to the directory/file you are having issues with? [06:44] Quest... there is NO limit to the number of files in one sub-directory [06:44] lol @ "your windows mindset is showing" [06:44] Windows rules [06:44] Dr_Willis: It is a self-compiled package. How do I search available packages? [06:45] Quest, how many files you sugest? [06:45] ubottu thanks, i resolve the problem [06:45] LuisGere: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:45] R0b0t1: Im no tsure what you mean. give the channel more details [06:45] but i don't know why the file create only [06:45] XD oks, the bot resolve my problem! [06:46] *face palm* [06:46] i know i am really tired right now, but i feel lost trying to follow this [06:46] lol [06:46] i have to erase it like a root user on ~/.local/share/Trash/ [06:47] sorry for my english xmetal, i really have to practice. [06:47] hmmm @ just got a spam PM for diapers [06:48] oh no problem at all .. just trying to follow along to see if i can help [06:48] xmetal... don't feel like the "Lone Ranger" LOL [06:49] its weird that trash gets owned by root.. unless you were using sudo and the file manager.. or somthing === LoganG is now known as LoganG|off [06:50] i tried to erase it with bleachbit but it didn't work [06:51] ah ... so a file got the deleted on a non-root acct and now its in the bin "root" is who the file belongs too [06:51] hmm @ a command line way to empty the bin with "sudo" command in front [06:52] but when i try deleted on a non-root acct it didn't work. I can't delete that file [06:52] sudo apt-get install dyson "twice the suction" [06:52] sudo rm /path/to/file ;) [06:52] hmm wonder if running Bleachbit as root would do it [06:52] er [06:52] with root permissions i mean [06:52] not sure if i am saying that right [06:52] Im having some weird problems with ubuntu install, I can't see my mouse cursor anymore :/ [06:52] That is when I made the iso from unetbootin [06:52] most likely they ran the file manager as root. and its in roots trash.. running th efile manager as root and using its 'empty the trash' would do it. [06:53] and i don't know why this file apears [06:53] Best is to Not run nautilus as root. [06:53] * xmetal "Symathy laugh" at willie's joke [06:53] :| [06:53] and i typo'd that bad [06:53] I said was it root to start with [06:53] Sympathy [06:53] 'tis ok, we understand typonese ;) [06:54] yep [06:55] hi [06:55] xmetal [06:55] exit [06:56] thanks everybody, i can empty the trash. But why that file apears only? [06:56] hitsujiTMO: Virtual box really doesn't play nicely with sound. VMWare player finalyc racked it [06:56] 6 hours after I started :) [06:57] LuisGere: as i said earlier. my guess.. You were playing around with Running the File Manager as root. [06:57] LuisGere: since you havent vgiven us any real detaias as to the files name/path all we can do is guess === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [06:58] !details [06:58] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:58] the file that apear only was MS hPnKoe [06:59] ObrienDave anudas 8 million [06:59] ObrienDave anudas http://www.olark.com/spw/2011/08/you-can-list-a-directory-with-8-million-files-but-not-with-ls/ [07:00] * xmetal "throws in the towel" [07:00] and i don't playing with running the file manager as root, i play it as root when i read this here and delete the file, it works [07:00] Quest... that is NOT the same as a file limit. that is a limit of the "ls" function === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:01] echo * [07:01] ;) that has a limit also [07:02] true @ ObrienDave [07:02] file manager?? you mean nuatilus? [07:02] i don't understand =( [07:02] yes i mean nautilus [07:03] just out of curiousity why would you not want to run that as root? [07:03] Arch_NME: why would you need to run the File manager as root? [07:03] Arch_NME: your user has full access to their own files just fine whenrunning it as the user. [07:03] run Nautiuls as root.. one accidental deletion = system wont boot.. or worse [07:04] Dr_Willis, to edit some system files or something idk, why not [07:04] Quest... only the ROOT directory of a drive has an entry limit. SUB-directories have NO limit [07:04] Arch_NME: use the shell as root to do those tasks. Not the gui tools.. thats the best way [07:04] Dr_Willis, but why? It's easier to use gui tools [07:04] Arch_NME: if you got a nautlius window running as root.. and one thats not.. which window is which? ;) [07:05] you come back 30 min later.. 2 nautiuls windows open.. one can potentially delte your entire system... [07:05] well i think i can't explain with details on english my problem, but you said me how to fix it. Very thanks to all! ;) [07:05] Dr_Willis, lol, why would I attmpt to delete my entire system in any window [07:05] LuisGere: if its owned by root.. you need sudo./root rights to delete it.. [07:05] Arch_NME: as i said.. one MISS CLICK - and it can be gone. [07:06] compiz has a plugin to put (ROOT) in the title of apps running as root. [07:06] Arch_NME... funny things happen..... [07:06] too bad thats not enabled by default [07:06] Dr_Willis, okay then, that answers my question I was just wondering if there was some other reason [07:06] ive seen windows systems broken by a mistaken drag/drop in the system dirs. [07:06] if i want to run a gui/file manager as root. I dont use nautilus. i use a shell with 'mc' ;) [07:07] a shell with BRIGHT PINK background colors [07:07] Dr_Willis, I like to break things [07:07] ;) [07:07] Old Atari's did not have a trashcan. It was more like an Incinerator LMAO [07:07] Os-9 you dragged/dropped the floppy disk icon onto the trash to 'eject' it...... [07:08] somethink? [07:09] /ignore add Welles_Lemuelson [07:09] oops. ;) [07:10] Dr_Willis, he spamming you too, lol [07:10] Dr_Willis: Trying to compile a game, it needs a newer SDL library than in the repo [07:10] hello [07:10] abl_, greetings [07:11] I am seeking help to install Huawei Mobile Modem [07:12] R0b0t1: find a ppa with the newer versions, or compile them from source also [07:12] Arch_NME: not any more. ;) [07:12] How can I do that at the terminal? [07:14] abl_: this is a 3g/4g cellphone usb dongle modem? [07:14] Dr_Willis: Oh bother [07:14] well, thank you [07:14] Willis, are u there? [07:18] Anyone wanna help w/ forensics on my system crash? [07:20] abl_: give the channel details.. [07:21] was running a live distro ob a laptop, and a webpage caused the system to FREEZE. but I could Ctrl-Alt-F# to another terminal, which was VERY SLOW and showed kswapd0 consistently, tho it didn't say it was using much cpu. [07:21] Mr_Wills: you were correct, I cannot format my HDD from my bios. [07:23] thought I'd wait since sometimes I've had similar issues resolve themselves, but I fell asleep w/ laptop on my bed, and wgen I woke up, screen was black, not just no image, but not illuminated. [07:23] fan is still running, tho, machine is still hot [07:24] Is the CPU still working? is there any way to pull out of this nosedive? [07:25] did sys shut off from overheat? Am I potentially damaging my chip by letting it continue to run + not powering down? [07:28] if anyone can help me with my partition problem, i'd really appreciate it. this is what i have right now. http://imagebin.org/275331 [07:28] I'd like to cahnge it to be just two partitions: one for windows, one for ubuntu [07:28] ornj: you were running a live distro? why not just do a hard power down? no one here can tell you if the machine powered down. what is your question? [07:30] linux_is_my_hero: what is the problem? the ubuntu installer can automagically partition to install next to windows [07:30] my questions are: why do we think screen shut off tho fan is still running + processor is still warm? [07:30] hi, why i cannot start vsftpd using "sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart", i cannot use "service vsftpd restart" too ???? [07:31] am I damaging my CPU having let it continue to run after potentially having overheated? [07:31] ornj: the screen could have shut off due to power management settings and the fan is still running because the laptop temperature is hot. if the fan is running, then it probably didn't shut itself off. [07:31] milamber: it seems to be unable to do so. :-( it wants me to manually adjust the swap size, and it wants to root size to be 4gb, when it has more availible. I also am unable to adjust the two free spaces to be one free space. [07:31] ornj: you probably aren't damaging it further if you have taken it off the bed and it is cooling down [07:32] linux_is_my_hero: then you may want to look at !gparted [07:32] milamber: is there a program that can completely format my hdd to be completely empty so I can start everything over? [07:32] !gparted | linux_is_my_hero [07:32] linux_is_my_hero: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [07:32] linux_is_my_hero, a screenshot of the gparted partitioner on the live cd would be better. [07:33] is there any hope that the system will eventually work thru whatever it's stuck on, or did it just run out of RAM and die? no hope of salvaging what I'd saved to the live disc? [07:33] wilee-nilee: I'll try that [07:33] ornj: if it's an actual livecd you can't save anything to it [07:33] milamber: can't i at least do an imagebin of gparted from the livecd? [07:33] ornj: it would all be gone when you restarted anyways [07:34] i'm on ubunut 12.04 and using gnome 3 desktop, I'd like to run the benchmark from disk utility, I've started disk utility, selected my hdd but I can't seem to find where the benchmark options are... can anyone help? [07:34] well, no, exactly. but there was stuff I'd "saved" to the live filesystem [07:34] linux_is_my_hero: not sure what you are asking [07:35] jnhghy, top right the gear. [07:35] yes, exactly. which is why I'd like to recover this stuff before I do that. ;) [07:35] ornj: did you install an ssh server? what version of ubuntu was the livecd of, and have you tried ctrl + alt + f2? [07:35] milamber: can't i load ubuntu from the livecd, then open gparted, and use the printscreen button on my keyboard and paste the screenshot to an imagebin? it's either that, or use my cheesy camera cellphone [07:35] linux_is_my_hero: yes, you should be able to do that [07:35] got it, be back ... [07:36] wilee-nilee: that offers : 1) Format Disk 2) Create Disk Image 3) Restore Disk Image 4) View SMART Data ... nothing else [07:36] jnhghy, Live cd? [07:36] wilee-nilee: nope regular install [07:36] i ctrl alt f5'd, as you'll see above [07:37] ubuntu studio, so if that doesn't come w an ssh server, no. [07:37] jnhghy, I think benchmark is a unmounted option, I see it in mine but I'm running 14.04 [07:37] wilee-nilee: ok thanks ... [07:38] oh btw re pwr mgt... screen was set to go blank, but never actually went OFF. this is no light whatsoever, closing + opening lid doesn't help [07:38] ornj: did you ctrl + alt + f7 to get back to gnome? [07:39] a few times, it was still there before I fell asleep [07:39] (actually xfce, not gnome) [07:40] but i think it was on top/F5 when i passed out [07:41] ornj: well xfce has some issues with waking not working in general [07:41] here's a linux question, when you boot straight to cli, you can press ctrl with maybe shift or alt and then the numbers or maybe the function keys to get a screen full of jargon or a new cli. Whats the point of this? I only use it if ive crashed on boot? [07:41] i mean, on a live distro w/ no swap disk, what happens if you run out of ram? [07:41] oh, oops [07:42] daveyg, some only use the cli. [07:42] well, as i said, screen powering off wasn't normal m.o. [07:42] i can't install broadcom sta wireless driver, here's the error given: Sorry, installation of this driver failed. [07:42] Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log [07:43] Only people like you wilee-nilee. [07:43] what should i do? [07:43] daveyg, lol not me. [07:43] have also tried Ctrl-Alt-backspace [07:43] hi, why i cannot start vsftpd using "sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart", i cannot use "service vsftpd restart" too ???? [07:43] ornj: http://superuser.com/questions/536901/what-happens-when-linux-os-out-of-ram-and-no-swap [07:44] linux_unix-10: have you looked at the log file it told you to? [07:44] linux_unix-10, Have you seen the broadcom info from the bot? [07:44] thanky sir :) [07:44] pm sent wilee-nilee [07:44] daveyg, I have pm blocked [07:44] can someone tell me what the ubuntu archiving application package name is? [07:45] kongthap: we need more info, specifically - what are you typing into the terminal and what error message(s) are you getting? [07:45] pm has been tmi generally [07:45] milamber >> like the gb reference [07:45] hey, I have some input that has to be given to a program on the terminal [07:45] (the program does a call to gets) [07:45] but the problem is, I also need to debug that program [07:46] I have contrived some input to give it [07:46] but it's not all printable [07:46] milamber: "Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an [07:46] Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities, [07:46] e.g. stop vsftpd ; start vsftpd. The restart(8) utility is also available" [07:46] how can I give the program this input [07:46] Hey guys, my wifi isn't working, im using a dell inspiron n5520.. Like..

You might want to be asking this in a programmming channel [07:54] leif_: from ides suck you already have gedit | vi | emacs (which is kind of an ide) to fully integrated as eclipse, code::blocks, and even qt_builder [07:54] milamber: thanks but what is goog-fu ??? :( [07:54] thanks [07:54] what other details are needed? [07:55] Eclipse is great if you have 32GB of RAM and maybe a couple of eight-core processors [07:55] kongthap: google-fu*, i just googled it [07:55] I need to do gdb --args "program" "binary input that can't be typed" [07:55] or wait... [07:55] I need to do gdb --args "program" [07:55] then after it executes for a bit [07:55] give it the binary input [07:55] kongthap: http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/12/02/set-up-an-anonymous-ftp-server-with-vsftpd-in-less-than-a-minute/ [07:55] SomeDamnBody: so perhaps a fifo is what you need then [07:56] fifo?

If you're just starting out, it's unlikely you're going to want to get your head around learning the IDE as well [07:56] Dr_Willis, ok, so I looked up fifo [07:56] leif_: and gedit has syntax highlighting, and it's already installed [07:56] i guess i also want to know what likely happened - did overheating cause something to fail/shut off? [07:57] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO === karlo|afk is now known as karloone [07:57] Idk why you call them that, but I just told you that a fifo will *not work [07:57] gordonjcp, ok gonna try that [07:57] you dont even realize what a fifo is as far as i understand you... [07:57] and why wont it work. [07:57] milamber: can i ask a little more, if i had some huge collection of files at /mnt/blahblah what technique should i use, such as symlink or what??? [07:58] Dr_Willis, because a fifo is read into the program on the level of bash; it gets resolve so that what the program sees is it on the argument stack (if you do < that is) [07:58] milamber: i meant, i don't prefer that /mnt/blahblah to be the home directory [07:58] but the data must be delivered after a prompt is made available [07:58] that's why would be best if it were in my clipboard [07:58] so I could just paste it when it's needed [07:58] and then press enter, its done [07:58] SomeDamnBody so the app prints a 'enter your data:' and you are supposed to type IN binary data? [07:58] yes [07:59] something like that [07:59] that sounds rather insane. [07:59] sounds dangerous to me LMAO [07:59] well I'm sure you would think so [07:59] and it could read from a fifo that you then spit the data into the fifo from a second program. [07:59] i still wonder how you would type in a 'image.gif' like you were mentioning earlier. [07:59] kongthap: it depends on what you want the anonymous people to be able to do with them. i would not recommend allowing anonymous write access and if you are going to be working on the files you are just going to give yourself a headache if you have people accessing them at the same time. if you have enough space, it might be beneficial to just copy the files over and keep them sync'd w/ rsync. however, every use case is different. so i [07:59] I'm doing the example protostar and nebula binary security tutorials and this is what is required [08:00] Dr_Willis, well the way I would do it, is cat image.gif | clipboard [08:00] then run the program [08:00] enter your data: [08:00] but that won't work [08:00] imagebin.net/275334 [08:00] because the xsel and xclip doesn't work out right [08:01] ... [08:01] so that last bit.. [08:01] you think maybe I could spawn an interactive process [08:01] and pipe it's output to the second process that wants data [08:01] ? [08:01] linux_is_my_hero, I get a website not available. [08:01] I would just use python to print it in... [08:02] a fifo can print 'into it' [08:02] http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/using-named-pipes-fifos-bash [08:02] linux_is_my_hero it's imagebin.ORG [08:02] command1 reads ffrom a fifo.. command2 spits the data into the fifo and command1 reads the data as it goes in [08:03] wilee-nilee: imagebin.org/275334 before i reboot again, gparted sees the windows partition and the two free space partitions and cannot edit the free space partitions. i tried adding another partition that is the same size as the two empty partitions, and it did nothing. [08:03] milamber: i just want to serve only myself by using notebook to access my ubuntu desktop over ftp, i prefer ftp because the notebook will have to download huge stuff, don't care about the speed but just not to slow down my desktop too much that's all [08:04] !vnc | kongthap [08:04] kongthap: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [08:04] simpiler fifo examples -> http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2156 [08:04] linux_is_my_hero, So windows still boots, generally that 351MIB is the boot partition? you jsut need to choose the install alongside option. [08:05] linux_is_my_hero probably because the boundry is not on a cylinder. there is a setting for cylinder or megabytes. use cylinder if possible [08:05] linux_is_my_hero, Windows has a no read on it maybe needs a chkdsk [08:05] wilee-nilee: yes, windows boots without issues [08:05] kongthap: ftp is really an outdated way to do that. trying to keep files synced using ftp is a nightmare. if you are just trying to remotely access your desktop, vnc is a much better option [08:05] obriendave: I don't know what that means, can you tell me a little more? [08:06] linux_is_my_hero, Not sure it will resize on a no read, but you would want to resize windows with its partitioner if needed. [08:06] milamber: vnc and ftp are two totally different things [08:06] kongthap: have you looked at sshfs? [08:07] wilee-nilee: i already resized windows with its partitioner, then tried to install ubuntu with the alongside option. Why would ubuntu installer want to make the ubuntu root partition be 4gb instead of the remaining 50GB? [08:07] wilee-nilee: I can imagebin with my smartphone if that helps [08:07] gordonjcp: yes, it is. but if you look at the goal of "using notebook to access my ubuntu desktop" vnc makes more sense, which is why i am asking what he is actually trying to accomplish [08:07] linux_is_my_hero disks are defined by heads, cylinders, tracks and sectors. [08:08] or she* [08:08] ObrienDave: even ssd's ;) [08:08] linux_is_my_hero, It would install a main partition and a swap, thats all you need really. [08:08] obriendave: is a cylinder just a platter in the hard drive? === sodre is now known as sodre_zzz [08:09] wilee-nilee: with the ubuntu installer partitioner, i can adjust the swap size, but not the root size. why? [08:09] linux_is_my_hero well, they are not physically made that way, it's mostly for backwards compatibility LOL [08:09] linux_is_my_hero: it used to work that way. but these days - the drive controller might reinteperte the actual physical numers for the os to handle. [08:09] linux_is_my_hero: like in the case of a SSD drive. [08:10] Dr_Willis: so the OS sticks with predetermined standards and therefore does less work? [08:10] gordonjcp: i will try to google it :) [08:10] linux_is_my_hero LBA is sort of a disk defining emulator. to put it into very simple terms [08:10] linux_is_my_hero, One of the limitations here is only 4 primary partitions, or 3 primaries anda extended with logicals, did you try and have more than 4 primaries or run all in one fell swoop from gparted. [08:11] ObrienDave: is there a free partitioning program that I can download and put on a cd or dvd so that I can properly partition everything? [08:12] linux_is_my_hero, gparted is on the livecd [08:12] wilee-nilee: I think theres only 4 partitions: windows boot, windows, linux swap, linux [08:12] linux_is_my_hero we all recommend gparted [08:13] linux_is_my_hero, You don't have a windows boot nor need one leave that 351mib area alone it is to small, put an extended in the unallocated, and fill it with logicals ans a swap. [08:13] gordonjcp: if we're not talking about "secure things" is the operations are different between copying the files over sshfs and normal netowork sharing??? [08:13] which is the keyboard shortcut for copy and paste in terminal? (CTRL+C or +V not working) [08:13] and* [08:13] cfhowlett: imagebin.org/275334 gparted won't let me adjust the empty spaces, and ubuntu installer doesn't wanna use the full 59.33 gb to install swap and the ubuntu [08:13] jony_easyrider: try middle bouse button?? [08:14] wilee-nilee: tell me a little more, this is my first dual-boot machine [08:14] mouse* [08:14] milamber: i will google for vnc too, thanks [08:14] jony_easyrider SHIFT-CTRL C and V [08:14] kongthap: the solution really depends on what you are ultimately trying to accomplish [08:14] linux_is_my_hero, what do you not undertand? have you used gparted before? [08:14] I have not used gparted before :-( [08:14] milamber, ty [08:14] ObrienDave, ty [08:15] linux_is_my_hero, Really you do not have to make partitions the installer will do it if you just choose install alongside. [08:15] linux_is_my_hero gparted is the way to go for a GUI [08:16] Obriendave: i don't know what an "extended" is, nor a "logical" [08:16] milamber: nothing special i want to copy huge music files to my portable player, only my notebook has card reader, but the music files are update and always will at PC, so i'm looking for the way to use my notebook to get files from the PC and transfer it to the microSD... [08:17] obriendave: if you can explain what these things are I'm sure I can figure out how to make it work :-) [08:17] kongthap: are they on the same network? [08:17] linux_is_my_hero think of a hard drive as a whole pie....... [08:17] milamber: nothing over the internet just inside my home network via switch hub and access point [08:18] linux_is_my_hero, you've got your 59 .3 gigs available. install there and let the system allocate the partitions. you'll be fine [08:18] linux_is_my_hero the "pie" can be split into only 4 "logical" pieces...... [08:18] kongthap: then you should be able to right click on your music folder and then share it with whatever options you want. after that you can access it via the netbook and then you don't have to mess around with having multiple copies of things all over [08:19] linux_is_my_hero each piecs can be split into many "extended" pieces [08:19] *piece [08:19] milamber: during the copying process, the PC will get slowing down??? just asking [08:19] that's a really confusing description, and relates in no way to partitions [08:20] tried to make it simple. oh well [08:20] obriendave: so I add a logical partition equal to the 59GB, then split it into a swap (equal to the amount of system RAM) and a root? [08:20] kongthap: possibly, but not for long. if you want to keep the notebook and the desktop synced up, you should look at rsync. [08:20] obriendave: this definately helps :-) [08:21] linux_is_my_hero, I would do a auto install and practice on a flash drive. [08:21] milamber: ok i will look for both sharing and rsync [08:21] milamber: lastly when setting sharing on PC, how can i find the shared folder, just using network browsing??? [08:22] linux_is_my_hero, You will understand, however while dual booting with an OS you want to keep I would not mess aaround is all. [08:22] linux_is_my_hero basically, yes [08:22] kongthap: if you set up the shared folder to be accessible then that should be it [08:22] linux_is_my_hero and I agree with wilee-nilee [08:23] I had problems with the nvidia 319 update on ubuntu 12.04. now it is working again but I cant start the "nvidia x server settings" [08:23] and there are 2 icons in the starter. both are not working [08:24] linux_is_my_hero if you're not comfortable with this, practice on a USB stick. can't bugger up your OS that way [08:26] can some one help me with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6334542/ | I was trying to install a broadcom driver for my laptop, then a segfault happened.

[08:43] pogiako, Ubuntu does not have the empty resize [08:43] Dr_Willis: how can this problem be solved? [08:43] u can see change as ur resize it [08:44] thats what i want so i no longer need to unclick the mouse just to see what my window looks like [08:44] instead of showing me this orange background, i want it to be like Windows' [08:45] linux_unix-10: i would suggest checking askubuntu.com on how to install the drivers for your chipset. and the ubuntu forums.wiki page.

[08:46] am still on 03 [08:46] 04* [08:46] last time i installed .10, it had bugs in it [08:47] pogiako, You must free yourself from the binds of the windows OS in ubuntu grasshopper. [08:47] haha [08:47] pogiako: all software has bugs in it. [08:47] LOL grasshopper [08:47] no i mean [08:47] i just want that resizing stuff [08:47] pogiako: you've been given two ways to get it [08:48] pogiako, read more ... [08:48] especially that i'm mkaing site [08:48] making* [08:48] pogiako: i would think thats a feature of the window manager more then anything else.. i cant really recall seeing it ever used. [08:48] xfce seems to do it that way. [08:48] Dr_Willis: it's different in Xubuntu, and it can ebe changed using Compiz, both of which have been suggested [08:49] coz i find it annoying to unclick it before i get to see changes i make on the site am doing [08:49] hello [08:49] love my Xubuntu ;) [08:49] how is Xubuntu btw? [08:49] LOVE IT!

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [09:11] donkarlo: at the grub boot menu. like the guide shows.. you hit 'e' to edit the options [09:12] hello, there! my problem began this week and it has ocurred twice -- a few minutes ago being the second time; suddenly, but slowly, the graphics on my monitor begin to de-pixelate [if that is the right word...], turning impossible to read or see the images properly; it is progressive, i.e., it does not reach a peak before a certain time; I tried restarting the GDM [graphic desktop manager], but that does not solve the problem; only by rest [09:12] where is the grub boot menu [09:12] cyclist_2, could your monitor/graphics card be failing? [09:12] So lettin Rhythmbox pick up a year's worth of music has caused my machine to hang. oops [09:13] if you dont see the grub menu by default when you boot up. press and hold the SHIFT key when you boot up to make it show [09:13] lol === AbyssOne__ is now known as a1|away === a1|away is now known as AbyssOne__ [09:14] cfhowlett: alas, I do not know anything about that subject; what do you mean? is it a common problem? if so, how frequent?

[09:15] 'quiet splash' becomes 'quiet nomodeset splash' [09:15] Dr_Willis: I dont really understand it. if you can help me [09:15] then you boot the modified entry [09:15] cfhowlett: about the monitor: I use 2, one is of the laptop and the second is an older one connected to the laptop; but both are affected, so I don't think it is hardware related... [09:15] cyclist_2, you didn't describe your hardware, so hazarding a guess based on the behavior your described ... graphics cards handle the picture/images. they do fail. monitors get banged around and fail as well. [09:16] donkarlo: the url even shows a screeshot of what the edited line looks like.. [09:16] cyclist_2, little details do matter. could be OS related but I've not encountered it before. restate your query here from time to time. Someone else may know. [09:16] and press END keys to position your cursor at the end of the that line usually ending with “quiet splash”. [09:16] Now you can type in additional kernel options like nomodeset ( [09:17] cfhowlett: is there a test I can perform to find if the graphics card is failing?

I downloaded it on my other pc and extracted it dont know what to do next [09:24] !java|RevJoe, [09:24] RevJoe,: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

[09:25] Nvidia propiretary [09:25] yes it could be a bug, I did distro upgrade from 13.04 [09:26] karab44: run nvidia-settings and see if it confirms the driver is in use [09:26] I am just wondering is this visible on fresh install but I have too many things on my system to do format [09:26] Dr_Willis: I did what it said and after pressing ctrl+x it is just blinking [09:26] to many things - bah.

I can still access websites directly in chrome browser. my 3128 port is squid proxy which deny all outgoing access. thanks. [09:27] Dr_Willis: right [09:27] donkarlo: you could also try the 'text' mode option to get to a console. same as you did befor only use 'noquiet nosplash text nofb nomodeset ' instead of just nomodeset [09:27] bbl.. got a job to do. === dv__ is now known as dv_ === AbyssOne__ is now known as a1|away === a1|away is now known as AbyssOne__ [09:32] ing ubuntu 12.04, I installed squid in it I want to configure that could anyone help me in that [09:33] !squid [09:33] squid is a caching proxy for the Web.

[11:31] give me a minute [11:33] k === devil is now known as Guest64306 [11:33] Hey guys, is stable-4.3 meant to compile stubdom cleanly? I'm getting a compilation error that doesn't look like a bad build environment (fbfront.c:108:5: error: format ‘%u’ expects argument of type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 5 has type ‘long unsigned int’ [-Werror=format=] ) [11:34] kn0thing sure you're asking in the right channel? [11:34] Oh wait, sorry [11:35] excognac: ok, sorry, where are you up to, you've got 13.10 installed and its "ok" correct ? [11:35] Actually, whilst i'm here. Is there any reason why the xen packages for ubuntu are missing like half the tools? [11:35] ikonia: it looks like. how do i convince ourselves? [11:36] excognac: well, is it running ok, in general, [11:37] ikonia: yap. don't really know how to test. try to suspend or so? [11:37] no no lets not get that far ahead, I'm just talking about visual working [11:38] ikonia: cube animation works, resolution everything looks nice in gui [11:38] excognac: ok, so lets try to get that as a "basic" configuration, you're still in kubuntu right ? [11:39] ikonia: yes [11:40] excognac: ok, so lets stop kdm, "sudo service kdm stop" and generate the xorg.conf file again as we did before "sudo X -configure" [11:40] ikonia: so go to text mode? [11:41] excognac: correct [11:41] After upgrading to 13.10 I get boxes instead of letters in evince's GUI (though not in the documents I open with it) [11:42] ikonia: kdm unrecognized service [11:42] so i do lightdm? [11:43] ooh, is it lightdm, sorry [11:43] yes [11:45] cgt: have you tried other doc viewer apps? === dean|away is now known as dean [11:46] ActionParsnip: no [11:48] ikonia: it says: (++)Using config file: "/home//xorg.conf.new" (==)Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" Number of detected screens does not match the number of detected devices. Configuration failed. (EE) Server terminated ewith error (2). Closing log file. [11:48] It just seems weird. It shouldn't mess up characters like that. [11:48] Doesn't happen in any other app [11:49] ikonia: (i copied this manually from the other computer's screen) it lists drivers before this message. you want the /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [11:51] Hello. I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. My problem is the following. I have a folder containing many files in many subfolders and subsubfolders. I would like to create a new folder containing all the files and just the files (none of the subfolders). How do you do this? If there are different ways to do it, I prefer the easiest one (not from terminal). [11:52] parparazac: find folder/ -type f -exec mv -n {} ~/newfolder/ \; [11:52] excognac: hmmm, that's interesting [11:53] excognac: so it didn't make the xorg.conf.new as before then [11:53] reisio: is that exactly what i type in the terminal? [11:53] ikonia: yeah. well, as i understand this version knows something is messed up but it works [11:53] reisio: Is there a way to do it not from terminal? like an app or something? [11:53] parparazac: substituting 'folder/' and '~/newfolder/' as desired, yes [11:53] excognac: can I have a look at the xorg.conf.new it created [11:53] parparazac: it's really safer from a terminal [11:53] holy hell, ubuntu is getting worse and worse with each release [11:54] excognac: I'm assuming this is because parts have been split out into xorg.conf.d [11:54] does that move or copy the files? [11:54] parparazac: mv is for moving [11:54] i want to copy [11:54] parparazac: okay, cp -n instead of mv -n then [11:55] parparazac: find path/to/folder/with/files/ -type f -exec cp -n {} /path/to/newfolder/ \; [11:55] ikonia: paste.ubuntu.com/6335322 [11:55] excognac: whoaaa this time it thinks there are 3 displays [11:56] ikonia: i rofled [11:56] excognac: with 4 monitors ! [11:56] ok i will go try that, thanks [11:56] does ubuntu go through any sort of quality control anymore? [11:56] like _any_? [11:56] mIKEjONES: there are other distros if you don't like ubuntu, ranting in here won't change anything so please don't [11:57] I would like to zero-out unused memory pages to reduce the size of VM snapshots. The hypervisor saves all non-zero pages in the snapshot, so freed, non-zero, but unused pages are stored in the snapshot when they needn't be. [11:57] is this possible? [11:57] excognac: ok, so the card settings are different, this is all intereting to me as I've not usd the "on cpu" graphics before with xorg, certainly not in any real detail [11:57] ikonia: unfortunately its appeal to non-linux users has made this abomination of an OS a standard [11:57] I'm wondering, can I put up some sort of message on the regular console login screen (where it says Ubuntu $version $hostname $tty)? [11:58] mIKEjONES: as I said, you're free to chose a different distribution, but complaining in here won't do anything so, please don't continue [11:58] I'm on my 3rd reinstall of 13.10 this week [11:58] first installing ia31-libs-multiarch packages destroyed my system [11:58] to the point that I could even launch a shell anymore [11:58] mIKEjONES: stop [11:59] mIKEjONES: if you want help, ask a support question, if you want to complain, this is not the channel [11:59] mIKEjONES: raging here won't help [11:59] ikonia: I'm trying to be helpful and provide feedback to the developers [11:59] mIKEjONES: as I said, this is not the channel for it [11:59] like, they should probably consider total and complete career changes [11:59] mIKEjONES: final warning - please stop [12:00] ikonia: alright, but I would very strongly suggest looking at what nvidia-opencl-dev & opencl-headers do to X [12:00] excognac: from my point of view, I don't see why it's detecting the on cpu graphics so many times [12:00] excognac: I'm not sure how much of a problem that's actually creating, but it doesn't seem good === karloone is now known as karlo|afk [12:01] ikonia: it has a fancy BIOS with 5000000 settings. [12:01] hey guys one quick question, can i test a malware using ubuntu on vmware without actually harming my host pc? [12:01] excognac: no doubt. [12:02] guest1010: if you are careful and isolate the guest yes [12:02] reisio: it says missing argument for -exec [12:02] by isolate you mean not have a shared folder? ( im sort of new to this :/ [12:03] excognac: two things stick out in your current situation 1.) the version of the intel module that ships with 12.04/13.10 - and what/how it supports 2.) the terible detection of multiple devices [12:03] parparazac: then you copied it wrong [12:03] ikonia: it's infuriating spending 20 hours rebuilding a ton of packages from scratch only to have some poorly maintained package come buy and completely wreck a system to the point that you can't log in with lightgdm [12:03] and opencl pacakages are likely to be used by people in the scientific community [12:05] anyone here using Ubuntu 13.10 on a Macbook Pro? I'm having several problems, firstly, I can't seem to install wifi-drivers. Secondly, there are lots of graphical glitches around, haven't installed any proprietary drivers yet. === Guest62676 is now known as N0 [12:05] reisio: find /media/PENR/fpss -type f -exec cp -n {} /media/PENR/fpone/ \; [12:06] <__raven_> 13.10 segmentation fault in x264 with avconv and ffmpeg - how to solve [12:06] reisio: what's wrong?

[12:11] ikonia: like what? :p [12:11] * reisio reads [12:11] ikonia: i hope it's not because i set 4 virtual desktops [12:11] reisio: /bin/bash [12:12] what makes you think Xorg thinks you have 4 screens and 3 displays? [12:12] parparazac: should be fine, then [12:12] reisio: been working through this with excognac for a day or so, he's swapping between 12.04 and 13.10, xorg is messed up on 12.04 but it looks like it's a.) detection of the gpu - which is on cpu graphics 2.) the actual intel module from xorg not supporting it [12:12] bakr2d2 [12:12] reisio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6335322/ [12:12] but if we changed nothing then i will get the same error [12:12] reisio: when you do the X -configure and it does detection it detects 3 cards at the same pci address and 4 monitor definitinos [12:13] what happens when you start X without a xorg.conf? [12:13] reisio: how do i do that? === _Sieb is now known as Sieb [12:13] reisio: 13.10 it works, 12.04 it doesn't, but that appears to be down to the intel module shipped with xorg in 12.04 - but vesa also fails [12:13] excognac: you've already done it === karlo|afk is now known as karloone [12:14] okay, so... try the kernel from the working one with the non-working one? [12:14] it could just be the intel driver [12:15] reisio: that was my initial thought, but vesa also failing to actually display anything usable seems odd [12:16] reisio: does the command create the folder fpone or do i need to create it before? [12:16] reisio: however, i could have a gui with installing lightdm in 12.04 please note both are kubuntu! [12:17] reisio: I'm partially wondering if because it's detecting 3 cards the auto detection is not picking up vesa to the right address and using one of the other modules, but I'm not convinced by that [12:17] parparazac: ah, yes you need to create it beforehand === donkarlo_ is now known as donkarlo [12:18] what about editing this xorg.conf so it isn't crazy? :) [12:18] h [12:18] reisio: ok i did. but i still get the same error. missing argument for -exec . could it be because my ubuntu is in italian? [12:19] maybe the command is different or something === donkarlo is now known as motaka2 [12:19] parparazac: maybe indirectly, it could be it's mixed up about the chars [12:19] reisio: I've been playing with that with him, but the problem I'm seeing is forcing pci:0:2:0 to vesa doesn't seem to have an impact [12:20] what does it mean mixed up about the chars? how do i fix it?

[13:47] download? see firefox add-ons to get videos [13:48] santo_ with firefox, chromium, some other browser? === Mony_ is now known as Mony [13:49] I'm wondering if it could be website related due to miner videoclips appearing using software suitable for chrome [13:50] files are sized from 625 kb to 2-3mb [13:52] santo_ si it's with chrome? [13:52] so* [13:52] santo_, probably not a size issue ... [13:52] May be you should try flareget [13:53] I mainly use chrome yes, but alongsided chromium and firefox. No size issue, got it.

[13:56] motaka3: i'd just backup your home folder [13:56] motaka3 rsync -a is a quick way to backup [13:56] unless you have service configurations [13:56] okarin21 keep it in the channel please [13:56] sam113101: the who had a blank page with a blinking cursor [13:57] i still can't use gdebi after applying the following commands: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock and sudo dpkg --configure -a [13:57] I vaguely remember [13:58] linux_unix-10 what happens when you try?

[14:01] it's still ubuntu 12.04 [14:01] bean__: I have windows als on the same PC but it is not slow at all [14:01] motaka3: hmm, try installing graphics drivers then if its a non intel card.

I know there is a ctrl lock key sequence in windows, but not sure if it exists in ubuntu [15:48] hitsujiTMO: yeah I' [15:48] m at a loss too. thanks [15:49] user32: you must be part of a primary group. this questions is better asked in ##linux [15:50] Boot error... hmmmpf [15:51] packardbell: You may need to hit a hidden key to enter the BIOS.

[15:53] TalkingMuffin: oh? I didn't know that [15:54] SuperLag: it does all the java things at once, jdk, jre, etc. [15:54] user32 but thats a design decision by the ubuntu distib packagers.. they could very well put all users into a users group as well and it would work also ok [15:54] hmmm [15:54] in the Boot section there is 1: Removable Device - i can choose between Legacy Floppy, LS120, ZIP, ATAPI MO, USB FDD and USB ZIP [15:55] XLV it's not an ubuntu support question.

I spent all this time troubleshooting my connection to the roommate's windows box, only to not be able to mount their ISO's [16:42] MrMonkey31: What is the mount command you are running? [16:43] Rory: mount isopathnname destpath [16:43] !info gnome-settings-daemon [16:43] gnome-settings-daemon (source: gnome-settings-daemon): daemon handling the GNOME session settings. In component main, is extra. Version 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 (saucy), package size 485 kB, installed size 2600 kB [16:43] i think, it's the dns part that is not work working... [16:43] MrMonkey31: Does isopathname look like /path/to/image.iso ? [16:44] MrMonkey31: You could try with mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/mountpoint [16:45] MrMonkey31: And /path/to/iso.iso *cannot* be a samba url, like //host/share/path/to/iso.iso === mgodzilla is now known as mgodzillabat [16:45] MrMonkey31: That's right. You need to already mount your samba share to a proper mountpoint, *then* mount the iso from there [16:45] MrMonkey31: If its a network path to a samba share, you need to provide the type in the command and possibly pass your credentials. mount -t cifs //ip/path/ -o user=monkey === erry_ is now known as erry [16:46] TalkingMuffin: There's two mounts that TalkingMuffin needs to do - firstly to mount the Samba share to his filesystem tree, and then to mount the image [16:46] thanks Rory and TalkingMuffin, it's as I thought. hm complexity... [16:47] MrMonkey31: Not so much. How are you mounting the samba share?

Why? === erry is now known as eerry [16:49] pero: You would have to obtain a newer version, probably from upstream, and install (or compile and install) it. Alternatively, you could search to see if the version you want to install is included in a PPA. What version of Ubuntu are you using, and what version of gnome-settings-daemon do you want to upgrade to? [16:49] Rory: I was just doing everything via drag + drop out of nautilus, TalkingMuffin says I's gotta specify a cifs type so I reckon I'll try that first? [16:49] MrMonkey31: You still can't mount the iso in one step [16:49] Rory: 13.10, and 3.8.6 - which includes a patch for the 'do nothing on close lid' bug patched 6 months ago === mist is now known as spookymist [16:50] MrMonkey31: If you're using Nautilus already, why can't you just mount the .iso from nautilus as well?

[18:32] it effected /usr directory only (i guess) [18:32] Ari-Yang, yes, but I must have missed the .x [18:32] now my sudo command is not working..can i revert back old permissions for /usr directory and its files? or my system is broke? === lesshaste is now known as Guest16230 [18:34] hi, i need libusb 1.0.16 which is apt package?

[18:37] reisio: but if this is not possible I'm not to lazy to use terminal or gui [18:37] well he had win7 and ubunut paralell install then had the bright idea to delete the whole linux partition from windows and reboot# [18:38] paulus68: I don't know, you could maybe use 7z [18:38] paulus68: I think encfs would be less awful in the long run [18:38] so all that can be saved now is his windows install [18:39] !LTS [18:39] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop.

I have the original .iso for 12.04 [18:43] Anyone know why my status bar keeps freezing in SS? [18:43] Clock update stops, can't click on any items in it [18:43] intrader: you can use that and updating will mean that you end up on 12.04.3 with the 3.2 kernel [18:44] sjmikem probably this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1228360 [18:44] Ubuntu bug 1228360 in indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) "No clock in menu bar and can't edit Clock settings" [Undecided,Incomplete] [18:44] Quinto: 1.0.16 is only available in saucy [18:45] tsimpson: saucy?

The clock was there, was working fine. Then suddenly froze. It's visible, but not updating. [18:47] in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I have Match group groupname ChrootDirectory /mnt [18:47] Also can't click on anything else in status bar [18:47] mnt is owned by root:root. [18:47] sjmikem yeah, it must be related to the reported bug [18:47] kardan: I'm not sure it's in any repos, actually [18:48] lmat: sftp is for non-interactive file transfer, not a login shell [18:48] kardan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970105 [18:48] tsimpson: oh. === dean is now known as dean|away [18:48] tsimpson: um.. really ?

[18:48] lmat: yes, see man sftp [18:48] reisio: the problem is with gnome-screenshot, gpe-screenshot is fine BTW. [18:48] tsimpson: but hotplaug is only from 1.0.16 [18:48] tsimpson: "sftp is an interactive file transfer program" [18:48] and i must develop a software [18:48] tsimpson: Oh, so I should leave his shell as bash or whatever ? [18:49] lmat: yes, I mean it's not an interactive shell [18:49] lmat: yeah, just bash is fine [18:49] how i can do? [18:49] tsimpson: okay. [18:49] sjmikem no, i havent switched to 13.10 yes [18:49] Quinto: upgrade to saucy... [18:49] yet* [18:49] tsimpson: i cant [18:49] i have a beagle board [18:49] kardan: no problem at all, then, is it? :p [18:49] reisio: thanks! [18:49] reisio: i used the image file http://sourceforge.net/projects/supergrub.berlios/files/super_grub_disk_0.9800.iso , try it in virtualbox, youll see, i made the mistake to use it on my pc first, it deleted some files before i could reset [18:49] Quinto: the other option is trying to compile it yourself [18:50] will try glc anyway :) === h00k is now known as z0mbieh00k [18:50] silidan1: I don't have to try it, I can scan it with a virus scanner [18:50] tsimpson: what? [18:50] tsimpson: Well, I changed the shell to bash, and I use sftp -P port user@server and it connects just fine. When I pwd, it shows /home/user (rather than /mnt) [18:50] [14:43:15] howfield, where do I get it? I have the original .iso for 12.04v ---> Like I said before, you obviously didn't read nor check out the link ubottu gave you otherwise you wouldn't be asking that question. [18:50] Quinto: compiling libusb locally [18:50] good luck with that ;) [18:50] tsimpson: Perhaps it's not matching? I have "Match group groupname" in sshd_config, but how do I tell if it's matching? [18:50] silidan1: pretty sure sf.net distributing virus-laden files is unheard of, though [18:50] tsimpson: what do you want say me? [18:51] reisio: dunno, but the files that got mentioned are gone [18:51] silidan1: but again, it's the wrong tool for the job anyways, so that it does something strange is no surprise [18:51] lmat: perhaps there's something useful in /var/log/auth.log [18:51] reisio: actually i picked it cause it was said i can repair mbr with ti... [18:52] hello anyone here who can help me with a postfix setup issue? [18:52] do you say compile libusb on ubuntu on beagle board? [18:52] Quinto: if you can't upgrade to saucy, and you must have 1.0.16, then you'll have to download the source code for libusb and compile it yourself === Sieb is now known as _Sieb [18:52] silidan1: maybe so, but the correct tool to fix Windows' booter is a Windows install image [18:52] tsimpson: but work? === _Sieb is now known as Sieb [18:53] Quinto: I don't know [18:53] tsimpson: Nothing. accepted password, sshd:session... "subsystem request for sftp by user" [18:54] trupheenix, will another, easier to use mail transport agent work? or does it have to be postfix? [18:54] reisio: ok, gonna try it that way then [18:54] Hello , somebody who recording on ubuntu guitar ? [18:54] tsimpson: The maddening thing is that I set this up on a local virtual machine and it works just fine. [18:55] compdoc, i don't know maybe you can suggest [18:56] lmat: if you set chroot it'll still show /home/user, but it'll be /mnt/home/user on the system. does that sound plausible to you? [18:56] tsimpson: yes it does, Thanks so much. I'll take a look. [18:56] tsimpson: (of course /mnt/home doesn't exist, but I'll go with it) [18:56] trupheenix, well, you might need to remove postfix first. But I love nullmailer. you just tell it the name of your pc, and the name/address of your mail server, and boom! you can send mails [18:57] Ari-Yang, thanks for your help - why do you take such a tone? [18:57] compdoc, I need to receive mails as well [18:57] tsimpson: No, that doesn't work. cd ../../ then ls shows bin boot cdrom, etc. [18:57] tsimpson: I'm really thinking it's not matching. [18:57] trupheenix, thats a function of your email client. you sure you need postfix? [18:57] lmat: sounds like it [18:57] tsimpson: back to duckduck [18:58] compdoc, let me explain in more detail [18:58] Ari-Yang, thanks for your help - why do you take such a tone? - have now opened the link, and indeed the .x is clear [18:58] compdoc, I am trying to set up postfix on my application server; so that the application can send emails to users in my domain. === root is now known as Guest31582 [18:58] trupheenix, I use nullmailer so my ubuntu servers can send informational emails to me [18:58] compdoc, the application also would require it's own user id and pop support. [18:58] compdoc, ok [18:59] I could use postfix, but its too difficult for me to set up [18:59] compdoc, ok [18:59] compdoc, so does nullmailer want to use a relay to send e-mails? [19:00] trupheenix, it uses an email server to send. either local or romote [19:00] remote [19:01] compdoc, ok [19:01] do you have your own email server? [19:01] compdoc, does it have user management? like login with password? [19:01] trupheenix, no, its just an agent. its not an email server [19:01] compdoc, ah... [19:02] compdoc, I require an e-mail server [19:02] what do you use for emails now? [19:04] hello Ubuntu people :) [19:04] Postfix is a free and open-source mail transfer agent (MTA) that routes and delivers electronic mail <- which is the same as nullmailer. I dont think postfix is an email server if used by itself [19:04] compdoc, ok [19:04] compdoc, right now i use Google Apps for e-mails [19:05] trupheenix compdoc https://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-dovecot-mysql/ [19:05] this is what I use for mailserver [19:05] compdoc, postfix works fine. it sends out e0mails to anyother domain except my own. :( [19:05] yeah, thats what its for [19:06] compdoc, ok I am using dovecot behind postfix [19:06] trupheenix: use my tutorial ? [19:06] nstalled Xubuntu which also installed xfce how do i remove them and THIR packages? [19:06] streulma, i using postgresql instead of mysql [19:07] nightdrever what's thir? [19:07] thier sorry [19:07] [14:58:18] Ari-Yang, thanks for your help - why do you take such a tone? - have now opened the link, and indeed the .x is clear ---> You are welcome. Excuse the "tone" but I just don't like bothering with people that don't even think or ask for answers when it's right there in front of them, in this case you clicking on that link :| [19:07] nightdrever, what release and end goal? [19:08] 12.04 ubuntu install xunbutu too so i could select at log in [19:08] !puregnome | nightdrever [19:08] nightdrever: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [19:09] streulma, suppose the user is not on my postfix user table how do i send e-mail to him? the email id is valid. [19:09] hi [19:09] thanks ill try [19:09] nightdrever, you want xubuntu and ubuntu right? xfce is part of the xubuntu base. [19:09] i dont want them i just use ubuntu [19:09] brokedown: hi [19:10] trupheenix: don't understand [19:10] streulma, let me explain [19:10] nightdrever, Ah, reead your posts it does not say that. [19:10] streulma, so i have setup postfix+dovecot on my server at mydomain.com so that my web application can use it to send e-mails to users on my domain. [19:10] streulma, but the users on my domain have their accounts on a different mail server altogether. [19:11] how do you navigate by keyboard between a virtualhost guest (at fullscreen on one monitor) and the ubuntu host running in both monitors? [19:11] wille-nilee so is http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu safe? and ill still have my normal ubuntu? [19:11] nightdrever, Yeah excellent removal lists. [19:11] Ari-Yang, thanks for 'sort of excuse' - the linke should says 12.04.3 to avoid clicking the link. === jmknsd is now known as jakemp [19:12] Reading state information...

[19:12] streulma, so when I try to send e-mail to my users using postfix, postfix refuses to do so because those user ids are not in the user table of the postgresql db. [19:13] ok brb [19:13] trupheenix: then tyou need a send mail only server? [19:13] heh the bots link is 12.10, gotta check [19:14] streulma, need to receive mails as well [19:14] [15:11:45] Ari-Yang, thanks for 'sort of excuse' - the linke should says 12.04.3 to avoid clicking the link. ---> what? ._. [19:15] tsimpson: Does sshd automatically re-read the /etc/sshd_config ? === mcarifio is now known as carif [19:15] brokedown: have you tried using the Right Ctrl key to move between the two ? [19:15] trupheenix: you cannot receive mail on 1 server and other server at the same time, you can only have 1 mx-server once [19:16] streulma, nope. you can have multiple delivery apparently. [19:16] Ari-Yang, the text for the link (as in html ) [19:18] Ari-Yang, a constructive suggesting is beyond your current ugly mood [19:18] After modifying /etc/ssh/sshd_config, do I have to tell sshd to re-read the configuration ? === petey is now known as 31NAATMJ5 === nrdb is now known as 21WABO1TK [19:18] !12.04 [19:18] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu.

[19:19] was that a netsplit (recovery) or did I just have a personal network problem ? [19:19] now, moving on~ [19:19] Ari-Yang: why are you being obnoxious ? cut him/her some slack.. === anna is now known as Guest95826 [19:21] howefield: I'm not being obnoxious; I already told intrader why I don't bother helping those who want answers when it's right in front of them. [19:21] he's the one who continues to respond to me :| [19:22] Ari-Yang, learn to handle your answer helpfully and courteously. It is not usual to run into someone in your kind of mood [19:23] Ari-Yang: watch your blood pressure, ;-) you do have a choice in what you respond to... anyway I'm off for dinner. Have a good one :) [19:23] Ari-Yang, you helped -------> THANKS [19:23] howefield: you too~ [19:24] tsimpson: dude, I think the problem was that sshd wasn't reading my freaking sshd_config [19:24] howefield, thanks to you too - I am downloading 12.04.3 [19:24] tsimpson: Be sure the next time you help some one, have them do a little sudo service ssh restart !! ^_^ [19:25] intrader: noted; It's also not usual to run into someone with your level of curiosity and intelligence. You're welcome, happy to help~ === Sieb is now known as _Sieb [19:26] Ari-Yang, enough - you evidently have a bad day [19:26] intrader: Nah, my day has been good so far~ If you don't want anymore response for me, I suggest you don't reply to me :3 === Fuchs is now known as Zombiefox === siva_ is now known as Guest70589 [19:31] hi all! I have a Ubuntu 13.10 installation and my login user is the one created in the standard installation. I have been created a new user and the only group created is the group with the same same of the user. What's the recomended groups to add the user to permit all the users tasks like mount SD cards, use the camera, ecc ... where can I find information related of this configuration? [19:32] hi im on ubuntu 12.04 and i get 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 27 not upgraded. [19:32] how do i fix? [19:33] nightdrever, Sometimes there are partial upgrades, this is most likely do to the packages not be in yet (dependencies) there are many independent teams. [19:33] being* [19:33] anyone? [19:33] wildee i added sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [19:33] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nautilus [19:34] nightdrever, Usually this resolves it self within a day or to, being specific though here really helps. [19:34] !ppa | nightdrever [19:34] nightdrever: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [19:34] heeey [19:34] hoooo [19:35] do anyone have a problem with ubuntu after last night updates? [19:35] ok how do i remove sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [19:35] ok .. thanks all .. no support [19:35] nightdrever: sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [19:35] nadeem, 4 release right now can you like give details, and 1000's of package's. [19:36] it installed like 171 update [19:36] !ppa-purge | nightdrever [19:36] nightdrever: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [19:36] then fire fox stopped working [19:36] thanks [19:36] nightdrever: if you want to purge the ppa and revert to ubuntu's own packages then ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [19:36] and i close it stay on my screen [19:36] and sotware manager the same [19:36] nadeem, Oh the 171 install and firefox stops working, sounds like a bewitching. [19:37] i cant even use the thing that im using my windows again [19:37] oh no not windows [19:37] ;) [19:37] yeah!!! [19:37] its all errors that i have to keep logg in and out [19:38] to remove the screen that stuck on my screen [19:38] nadeem, sounds like a partial update, did you use the update manager? [19:38] yeah it was a partial update [19:38] nadeem, Bad, never run partials. [19:39] i cant use the update manger anymore [19:39] so what i have to do ? [19:39] im new to ubuntu [19:39] nadeem, You have missing dependencies, you can try and get it to regroup by waiting. [19:40] but the update manger isnt working [19:40] so how much i should wait [19:40] we all do this at least once unless warned it seems === _Sieb is now known as Sieb [19:40] nadeem: um... did you use the console? [19:41] nadeem, Hard to say if it will regroup to be honest, usually this if you had waited resolves it self rather soon. [19:41] nadeem: run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ? [19:41] nadeem: Welcome to Ubuntu! Have you used linux much before ? [19:41] nop [19:41] no experiance what so ever [19:41] nadeem: How old are you ? And what systems have you used before ? [19:41] nadeem: Ahh, new to computing ? [19:41] 29 [19:42] 12.04 lts i guess [19:42] my major was information technology [19:42] but never used linux [19:42] nadeem: ahh, nice. So you have a clue :) [19:42] yeah somtimes [19:42] nadeem: Go ahead and run the command I gave above (with && in it), and see what you get ? [19:42] ok [19:42] nadeem, Hmm information tech, and it did not occur to google partial upgrade ubuntu. ;) [19:43] ill get back to u on that one [19:43] haha [19:43] nadeem: I don't use the GUI for things like updates, etc. and I would guess it's 1) more reliable and 2) more informative [19:43] naaa i thought ubuntu only do the good stuff and i trusted it [19:43] anyone knows how to maximize my fps on gaming in ubuntu .. im running gtx 650 and i play with playonlinux. the game im trying to play is League of legends... [19:43] any tips? [19:44] ubuntu reputation stopped me from google [19:44] Ha, what? [19:44] google runs on open source [19:45] ubukou: new graphics card ? [19:45] I want to install kvm on ubuntu, but when I type which kvm it says kvm not found. === peter is now known as Guest58721 [19:46] lmat, yes.. got an nvidia hoping i could use linux as my only desktop [19:46] ubukou: Good idea. What problems are you having ? [19:47] lmat, well lol runs well. but i cant get past 30 fps and medium quality [19:47] ubukou: ahh, that's a problem :) [19:47] lmat, i know its "good" but in a competitive game its not... [19:48] ubukou: I have no idea. I barely use something more graphically featured than a framebuffer :o [19:48] lmat, thanks anyway, i ll keep tinkering.. [19:49] what is a better version of pidgin? [19:49] as in a better program [19:49] ubukou: Don't neglect duckduckgo :) [19:49] yeyeman: What does pidgin do ? [19:49] yeyeman: Microsoft Lync ? [19:49] hahahahahaha!! [19:49] * lmat is soooo funny [19:49] HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE [19:50] lmat, i ll give it a go... i used it for some time but i got a bit tired for some results.. [19:50] good one man!!! [19:50] ubukou: I understand. You're sure your computer can do better ? [19:50] yeyeman: ^_^ [19:51] What is the best way to get practical experience programming? [19:51] lmat, well its a really good card...so.. [19:51] profligacy: by programming [19:51] ubukou: And the rest of the system ? [19:51] What is a good small-scale project that I can do just to familiarize myself with different components? [19:51] profligacy: any particular language/s? [19:51] profligacy: Are you trying to learn a language, or a framework,.. or OS ? [19:52] reisio: Java or C# [19:52] profligacy: Or technology [19:52] ew [19:52] profligacy: ahh [19:52] lmat, quad core intel, 6 gigs ram plenty of watts... not convinced i cant do better [19:52] profligacy: Those are very different. What are you wanting? [19:52] ubukou: Sure. That sounds fine. (plenty of watts, really? :P) [19:53] Just want to do be proficient, contribute on gitub projects, etc. [19:53] profligacy: Are you wanting to be a professional programmer ? Or just explore the idea / [19:53] lmat: Professional [19:53] profligacy: ah, good idea :) Have you ever written a java programmer ? [19:53] s/programmer/program [19:53] lmat: Nothing exciting, no. [19:53] lmat: Just standard, undergrad assignments. [19:53] profligacy: The first thing I think you need to do is learn how to use a computer. This is overlooked by *way* too many people. Don't neglect this part of learning how to program. [19:54] profligacy: Learn how to use the shell (and of course, a good way to do that is to use it to write programs!) [19:54] profligacy: So you know how to javac and java -cp, etc. [19:54] Good evening to all.. Does anyone know if there is a way to change gdm background and font..? [19:54] using cp I want to copy all files in one dir in to another dir (for a backup) -- I want to follow all links even symbolic and copy all data in all sub dir. I don't want it to delete anything anywhere, if any file name exsist more than once I want it to amend the new file with something line .001 and so on... I am reading the man file for cp and I have googled but i am a little lost on the arguments and how they work together -- can anyone help? [19:54] lmat, not sure if underpowering a GPU can reduce the performance hahahhahaha.. nice way to put it tho, right???? [19:55] lmat: This is exactly the type of advice I need. [19:55] ubukou: ahh, watts going to your cpu/gpu, gotcha :) [19:55] lmat: Can the shell function as an IDE, or? [19:55] profligacy: :) [19:55] profligacy: Of course. [19:55] profligacy: That's what I use for my IDE. [19:55] profligacy: (I program java) [19:55] subterfuge: so you want files in subdirectories into a new dir with no subdirectories? [19:55] profligacy: Many use eclipse or whatever, but learn to use the shell (at least be able to) [19:55] Do you know of any resources that I can use to learn how to be productive using shell? [19:56] subterfuge: I've heard that the best way to do this is with tar. duckduckgo will show you. [19:56] hi again, how do i disable some startup items? [19:56] profligacy: You can just start using the shell, but you'll want to do something in the shell. [19:56] reisio: no I want to keep the directories and subdirectories intact [19:56] lmat: Who do you work for, anyone I might know? [19:57] profligacy: That something should be programming since you want to learn to program :) Just realize that you're not *just* learning programming, but you're learning shell/filesystems , too. [19:57] profligacy: Sure: Indiana University. [19:57] lmat: I underastand, but I just want to experiment and learn, perhaps heuristically [19:57] profligacy: If you want to get good at Java, write a spring app (from scratch) to learn how it work.s [19:57] profligacy: Everyone uses spring to manage their Java. === root is now known as Guest29104 [19:58] profligacy: Write the build script in shell (and the deploy script, too) [19:58] profligacy: For instance, find src -name '*.java' -exec javac -cp "$cp" -d dest {} \; [19:58] profligacy: :) [19:59] Thanks lmat :) [19:59] profligacy: Then you'll learn shell (you'll have to learn the find command, bash substitutions, quoting, and how to avoid globs to understand this example), java, and Spring all at the same time :) [19:59] profligacy: yo. [19:59] profligacy: the folks in #bash are masters. [19:59] profligacy: If a little short-fused [20:00] profligacy , lmat .. Please remember this channel is for Ubuntu support. For programming, you might want to find a channel that's appropriate for the language you wish to use :) [20:00] Thanks lmat [20:01] hi all [20:01] My fault genii-o-lantern [20:01] genii-o-lantern: Thanks. [20:01] i have mounted a network folder on a windows machine using dolphin .... how can i navigate to that share in the konsole ? [20:02] During slow times it's not so bad for a bit, but overall it's better to just find the best channel for the questions you may have, etc [20:03] is there away to auto hide 'taskbar' at top of screen? [20:03] andreb: just: mount ...should tell you where the folder is mounted at, then you can do the cd [20:04] geni : i am not seeing it there... [20:05] i added it in dolphin under network [20:05] i dont mean the launcher just the bar at top of screen with time etc on it.....can i auto hide it? [20:06] andreb: So you used some URL like: smb://remote-machinename-or-ip/sharename ? [20:08] geni : i just used the gui in dolphin to add it [20:10] rm [20:11] andreb: It might not actually be mounted then at the moment. If you want to access those types of shares from command-line, may want to look at the "Connecting using CIFS" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide [20:11] geni : this is the command i have used/tried via command line to add the share from console : "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=bob //192.168.10.5/bob /media/samba [20:11] i can see and read teh folder.. but cant write to it :( [20:12] guys [20:13] i need help guys [20:13] andreb: Sounds like the wherever the share is, the owner of the files and directories there is a different user than the one you are connecting with (or different group) [20:13] i'm using xubuntu with 13.10 [20:13] and the xfce4-power-manager isn't working [20:14] Is there a way to get an up arrow button to move up one level in the file manager in Ubuntu?

[20:34] hi I think my ubuntu 13.04 is missing the repository keys for raring http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Raring_Repositories#Add_repository_keys [20:34] can you plz tell me what path to use to re-add them [20:35] Oxymoron: They do seem to have a channel with about 70-90 users in it at #plex [20:35] wilee-nilee: Found one, but this seems to be some kind of ext4 or Ubuntu permissions error, as always. Frreaking HATE permissions in Linux, worst implementation ever. Soon I do chmod 777 / to open up everything, so all software can access everything. [20:36] yay more freaking [20:36] Lope: !gpgerr [20:36] tried the 'standard ones'¿ [20:36] !gpgerr [20:36] Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com » [20:36] I saw a command like sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32 [20:36] but I dunno what code to use. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [20:36] Lope: then read what ubottu just said ;) [20:37] cool, we wrote at the same time sort of. [20:37] so is that "standard repo" for raring? === motaka2_ is now known as motaka2 [20:37] my upgrading to 13.10 has stopeed.. [20:37] Lope, a custom repo? [20:37] I'm running ubuntu 13.04 [20:38] but I've upgraded my kernel to 3.11.6 [20:39] I'm trying to install the apt package called dmidecode and apt says it can't be authenticated. I did apt-cache policy dmidecode Nd I see its coming from 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages [20:39] tirengarfio, Look for any hidden popups hiding. [20:39] hello [20:39] can someone please help me to format my thumb drive. in the terminal under fdisk -l it tells me the drive is fat32 but is read only [20:39] how do i run c app in terminal? [20:39] via gedit === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] === aperson is now known as batperson [20:40] pogiako: write it in gedit, save it, compile it, run it. [20:41] xangua: okay I loaded that standard key you mentioned but still getting an authentication error. [20:41] i compiled it via "gcc 'appname'" then trying to run a.out [20:41] typing a.out but aint any good [20:42] "aint any good" means what? [20:42] haha [20:42] i mean [20:42] what would be the best distro to try out on a convertible ultrabook (lenovo helix)? Something that handles touch pretty well along with regular mouse/keyboard. [20:42] it doesnt run [20:42] "doesnt run" means what? [20:42] xbhya, Hmm, this is the ubuntu channel guess. [20:42] !details | pogiako [20:42] pogiako: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:42] http://bpaste.net/show/otxvGylXdUa24Y1ZpBhY/ [20:43] wilee-nilee, yes that is true, but the upgrading has crasheed, it has shown an message that it couldn't finish the upgrading.. [20:43] a.out: command not found [20:44] pogiako: run: "./a.out" [20:44] then trying gcc with a.out, [20:44] tirengarfio, Can you share it in a pastebin? [20:44] a.out: file not recognized: File truncated [20:44] collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status [20:44] haha, I guess I should be more specific. Does ubuntu handle touch gestured scrolling pretty well? I think that's the big issue I saw in my youtubing. People were visibly having a lot of trouble grabbing the scroll bars with their index fingers. [20:44] it has dissapeared, sorry [20:44] omg [20:44] i closed it.. [20:44] love yah bekks! [20:44] mwah! [20:44] hahahaa! thanks! ;) [20:44] pogiako: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:44] Anybody here having an issue with nautilus consuming large amounts of CPU? [20:44] sure sure ;) [20:45] tirengarfio, This the download or install portion, and are you backed up? [20:45] ? [20:45] the upgrade to 13.10 [20:45] yes, I have backed up [20:46] where can I find the GPG keys for this repo? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-amd64/ [20:46] tirengarfio, There is a portion when it is just downloading then it installs, does this make sense? [20:47] it was installing [20:48] im going to reboot im scared.. [20:48] tirengarfio, A crash in the download is less problematic than the install is all. Ah the install, on the few times I have done upgrades and had problems I have run this command. sudo apt-get -f install to restart the install in the upgrade or from a command line in the reboot. [20:48] sudo apt-get -f install [20:50] can I openly say upgrades suck. ;) [20:52] does anyone use (ppa:ondrej/php5 [20:52] ) for php 5.4, is it safe to get code there? [20:53] no idea how to verify the legitimacy of a PPA [20:53] legitimacy? [20:53] Dressed as the queen of england for Halloween I say all you subjects do the time warp again, happy halloween. [20:54] i don't want to download virus or malware :) [20:54] sure you do :) [20:54] lol [20:54] oh actually [20:54] reisio: yip that's the word i used! :P [20:54] if you're trying to use PHP [20:54] do i still use return 0? [20:54] you actually do [20:54] when i write c in gedit? [20:55] I have rebooted, till now, no problem [20:55] 'cause PHP is all about making things insecure [20:55] coz whenever i do, it doesnt work right in terminal lol [20:55] Im on 13.10 [20:55] whats good in 13.10? [20:55] compared to .04 btw? [20:55] pogiako: the website has answers to such questions [20:56] !notes [20:56] Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) release notes can be found here http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/13.10 [20:57] i dont use 'return 0' to finish my c code [20:57] is that fine? [20:57] coz when i do put 'return 0', the app doesnt work [20:58] pogiako: You should ask a c language channel, since it isnt related to ubuntu. [20:58] haha [20:58] pogiako: That was no joke. [20:58] they were actually the ones who told me to go here [20:58] they mightbe windows users' [20:58] am just a jolly person ;) [20:58] pogiako: So in which channel did you ask? [20:58] c [20:59] then they told me wrong channel lol [20:59] they might be using windows [20:59] pogiako: They told you to join this channel to learn how to execute a program you just compiled. [20:59] lol no [20:59] they told me to com here to get help [21:00] pogiako: You got help here - you learned how to execute a compiled program. [21:00] yeah i did thanks ;) [21:00] what am asking now is, do i need to type return 0? [21:00] pogiako: That has nothing to do with ubuntu support. [21:01] lol ikr [21:01] !offtopic | pogiako [21:01] pogiako: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:01] back to c channel then ;) [21:02] pogiako: but, to answer: no, you do not. [21:02] cool ;) [21:02] thanks [21:02] wont that do something with memory? [21:02] No. [21:02] coz return 0 tells c to stop right? [21:02] so it jsut stops without retunr 0? [21:02] pogiako: now you are really off-topic [21:03] haha ok ill stop [21:03] whats the difference between /dev/random and /dev/urandom? [21:03] pogiako: Thank you. [21:03] hplc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/random#Linux [21:03] hplc: dev/random will only return if there is enough entropy to generate a new random value. /dev/urandom will *always* return, even with bad entropy [21:04] so urandom is not the one to use for making a encryption pad? [21:04] tirengarfio, have you run a update to make sure you up to date?

[21:13] tirengarfio, try running sudo apt-get -f install [21:14] sln: yes, just state your problem... [21:14] I am using precise 3rd service pack. It was working great from past 2 years, now, sometimes every new window appears blank and white in colour [21:14] Fruckiwacki, which release the alternate has been changed to a net install in 12.10 I believe. [21:15] sln: you should also state what driver you are using and what gpu you have. [21:15] wilee-nilee, it was some recent saucy-alternate-amd64.iso [21:15] Fruckiwacki, Look at the the size is it about 30MIB? [21:15] I am using atom 410 processor. [21:15] wilee-nilee, ~700mb === maxb_ is now known as maxb [21:16] Fruckiwacki, Ah, hmm is this a canonical? [21:16] Ari-yang: I am using Atom 410 processor. [21:16] Fruckiwacki, Is it ubuntu or lubuntu or another? [21:17] wilee-nilee, oh - its lubuntu - just noticed [21:18] Fruckiwacki, Is that what you want, I'm not sure on the actual question, just noticed the alternate reference is all, the net does not encrypt I believe [21:19] Ari-yang : I don't know which GPU it has, I may be inbuilt in the Atom processor. [21:19] Ari-yang: If I guess I am using intel graphics driver. [21:19] wilee-nilee, the situation is: I have 1 hdd which is fully encrypted via Luks, LVM is on top of it. Under Archlinux i created a logical volume for the Ubuntu installation. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [21:20] wilee-nilee, Starting the Ubuntu alternate installer it cannot find the logical volume because its under the decrypted cryptroot [21:21] Fruckiwacki, I would assume this is possible, however get the right disc, and confirmation for what you want and need, all those tools I see here used. I would advise against encryption in general, but its a bit late for that now, lol. ;) [21:21] hi , i have sudo apt-get install pisg 'ed but cant find the pisg.cfg file anywahere on my pc [21:22] Fruckiwacki, Be careful caling it a ubuntu alternate, it does not exist in that release. [21:22] Hey, ever since I upgraded to 13.10, my custom keyboard shortcuts, through the keyboard system properties dialog don't work, any ideas? Known bug? [21:22] parduse: dpkg -L psig [21:23] duxb, You probably have to re do them, have you? [21:23] wilee-nilee, oh ok. So what version to choose? Desktop Version? I guess its able to build a minimal system? [21:23] Ari-Yang: "jockey-text -l" is not giving any aoutput [21:23] in 13.04, I'd have to reset them every time I restarted, since I upgraded I have completely removed and readded, still nothing. [21:23] Fruckiwacki, I'm not sure really, I was mainly concerned with accurate communication, I know nothing on this setup.

[21:36] pipsqueaker, sounds like hays may have some answers, not sure if apples are any different, but most use the bots link I sent you. although it seems to be working just everything is hidden. [21:36] I could connect to my home network by the "connect to hidden networks" submenu, [21:36] wilee-nilee: ok. It says "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller" [21:36] when that happened, all the other ones showed up [21:36] portugal [21:37] help [21:37] wilee-nilee the networks were never hidden when I ran windows or Mac OSX on the same device [21:37] sln, generally intel stuff works, have you tweaked the desktop, say compiz...etc?

[21:49] hays Ari-Yang will the drivers I have installed interfere with the functioning of the new kernel, once it's installed? [21:49] hays: then there was something wrong with the version you used [21:49] Ari-Yang: because I thought it was the latest when I struggled with this issue a few days ago [21:49] pipsqueaker: that depends.... are you using proprietary dirvers? [21:49] pipsqueaker: if they are proprietary drivers, you'll have to use the free/open source drivers [21:49] pipsqueaker: i think you will want to uninstall and reinstall the linux-nonfree-firmware package (or wahtever it was called) [21:50] got it [21:50] Last call for someone to help me with the keyboard shortcut thing before I leave?

[21:51] if it doesn't, you're good to go [21:52] i believe he needs to be using this b43 drivers [21:52] pipsqueaker: see, this is what mine looks like http://gyazo.com/ce84017b9822cee41c254d375bd43110 [21:52] which are open source but maybe nonfree? [21:53] none in use [21:53] pipsqueaker: 'k, you're good to go. [21:54] isnt it unsafe to be able to see the IPs of users when they join? [21:54] pipsqueaker: make sure to download the headers too after downloading the image [21:54] (I dont understand the internet all that much) [21:54] meh [21:54] no big deal [21:54] Ari-Yang I just used instructions from http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/10/linux-kernel-3-11-6-upgrade-ubuntu-linux-mint/ [21:54] that good? [21:55] Commands done, I'm ready to reboot [21:55] go for it [21:55] pipsqueaker: I guess... [21:55] go on ahead, reboot [21:55] wilee-nilee: I reset the unity, It changed everything to default. but, the command is not completed. [21:55] pipsqueaker: you did make sure to download the right ones right? [21:55] it hung at "Setting Update "run_key"/ [21:56] seeing how you're on 64bit you'd download the amd64 [21:56] pipsqueaker: irc has been around for decades (i used to irc in the 1980's) :) if you want to hide your ip theres ways to do it. [21:56] sln, I Believe thats how it run, close it and reboot and make sure it's normal. [21:56] runs* [21:56] There was also an error: G_IS_OBJECT failed [21:56] sln, yeah it's normal. it restarted unity [21:56] sln, ignre the errors and warnings [21:57] ok. many thanks. wilee-nilee: and kostkon [21:57] i have a feeling this kernel upgrade isn't going to help pipsqueaker, but its worth a shot [21:58] hays: what's his problem again? [21:58] I just rebooted, unfortunately the all-networks-hidden problem persists [21:58] pipsqueaker: what's the output of uname -r ? [21:58] Ari-Yang: his networks are all hidden [21:58] huh [21:59] 3.11.6-031106-generic [21:59] you mean like in network manager? [21:59] Yeah [21:59] yeah uhh... upgrading the kernel wouldn't help much I doubt in this case. [21:59] I can connect to them through the "hidden networks" submenu [21:59] My computer won't boot from its HDDs anymore and I wasn't able to repair it with 'boot-repair'. Would someone be willing to help me out & take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/6337966/ [21:59] and then all available networks show up and I can connect [21:59] its possible an API call in the driver is broken [21:59] but I need to do the connect via hidden network thig every time [22:00] dunno... [22:00] I might try just reinstalling Ubuntu at this point honestly [22:00] one would update the kernel for e.g. better/improved hardware support... [22:00] see but that's the thing [22:00] pipsqueaker_: try iwlist [22:01] like the reason why I upgraded was so that I can have dynamic power management on the open source radeon driver, and hardware video decoding support. === AlanChicken is now known as alanbell === alanbell is now known as AlanBell [22:01] typing that gave me a list of options [22:01] which one do I pick hays [22:01] Ari-Yang: i had to upgrade because for whatever reason the brcmsmac driver was disabling my wireless card [22:02] *nod* [22:02] Remind me- if I reinstall 12.04 and upgrade my kernel is that basically the same as getting 13.04 w/o the UI changes? [22:02] iwlist scan maybe? [22:02] alazyworkaholic, Have you tried booting from the sdc HD first? [22:03] pipsqueaker_: if you install 12.04 LTS, you can upgrade the kernel like you did just now [22:03] 12.04.3 runs on kernel 3.8 [22:03] pipsqueaker_: that's incorrect but close to correct [22:03] hays Ari-Yang here's my iwlist scan http://pastebin.com/Q6A6ZbqB [22:03] pipsqueaker_, as getting 13.10* [22:03] hi guys, Dr_Willis, how do you hide the IP. I remember back in the days when I used to use IRC I had a IRC client that did it for me... or was it one of the administrators that sorted that out for me mmm... cannot remember now its been that long ago now [22:03] pipsqueaker_: you are still running on 12.04 if you upgrade the kernel to 3.11 [22:03] alazyworkaholic, windows is in sda the windows boot id sdc, and sdc has the only grub in the mbr, that is one messed up setup. [22:03] you're just running on a different kernel is all. === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [22:04] k [22:04] Private_User: register with freenode and ask for a cloak in #freenode [22:04] *sigh* I wish Ubuntu played well with macs [22:04] well it shows one network.. heh [22:04] all I want is linux on this thing [22:04] yeah, because I'm connected to it [22:04] pipsqueaker_: file a bug report? [22:04] the problem is broadcom [22:04] where? [22:05] thanks k1l_ much appreciated [22:05] if iwlist doesn't show it seems like the problem is lower than ubuntu and likely in the b43 driver [22:05] hays well I've used those drivers before on this very mac, never had a problem with it [22:05] you could maybe try an older version.. dunno [22:05] wilee-nilee: the set-up worked for ages like this: a 64GB SSD (sdd) holds /boot (ext4) and / for linux. I keep /home as a raid0 on the pair of large drives (sda, sdc), sdb & sde are for backups. [22:05] alazyworkaholic, actually you have grub in the sdb sdc and sde, must be one of them to boot hopefully [22:06] pipsqueaker_: file a bug report? [22:06] Ari-Yang where? [22:06] * Ari-Yang shrugs [22:06] wilee-nilee: and I kept windows around on a little part of the bigger drives [22:06] alright guys, thanks for the help [22:06] I gtg [22:07] alazyworkaholic, sdd has syslinux now, I know m=nothing about raid is all. [22:07] pipsqueaker_: try #bcm-users maybe [22:07] #ubuntu-es [22:07] wilee-nilee: ok, thanks. I don't recall doing anything to make "cannot locate bootmgr" appear at boot time, but what do I have to do with boot-repair now to put grub in its proper place? [22:07] wilee-nilee: sdd has syslinux now ?huh? [22:08] wilee-nilee: when I installed 13.10 I told the installer to put the boot loader on the 64 gb ssd (sdd) [22:09] alazyworkaholic, Not sure really, sdd has syslinux in the mbr its on that script at the top. Two linux install and a windows with the boot partition split off and a raid. All I can say is just because it worked did not mean you would ahve any easy fix if broken, or was even optional. [22:10] alazyworkaholic, the bootrepair puts the syslinux in when fixing at times, I would find the bopotrepair thread at the ubuntu forums and post that script. [22:10] bootrepair* === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:13] alazyworkaholic, the inventor (I use that phrase loosly, lol) of the boot repair has a thread and is pretty good at clean up yo might talk with them. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1769482 [22:15] wilee-nilee: thanks. I'll try that if necessary. If I could just get grub to install on the right drive I'd be happy. boot-repair has so many "restore the mbr of" options, even for sdd, that I'm a tad lost. [22:16] alazyworkaholic, You can chroot to the sdd install and put grub in the mbr. [22:16] sort of odd to be using syslinux to boot a hard drive. :) [22:17] normally only see that on usb-live, or optical disks. [22:17] hello [22:17] wilee-nilee: that vaguely sounds like a good idea. How would I go about that? [22:17] brb [22:18] Dr_Willis: what is syslinux? what's its relation to boot? [22:18] alazyworkaholic, read carefully not real hard and a single command to do the chroot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_Boot-Repair_Graphical_Tool-1 === Guest60267 is now known as TonyL [22:19] alazyworkaholic: its a bootloader like grub and lilo. its normally used on cds [22:19] Dr_Willis, YannBuntu is an odd person, although this tool is helping many, a whole lotta cleanup is still done, glad I know at least this much of the cli. === TonyL is now known as Guest72558 [22:19] SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which runs on an MS-DOS/Windows FAT filesystem. It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, and for creation of rescue and other special purpose boot disks. [22:20] those french you know, hehe [22:20] ISOLINUX is a boot loader for Linux/i386 that operates off ISO 9660/El Torito CD-ROMs in "no emulation" mode. This avoids the need to create an "emulation disk image" with limited space (for "floppy emulation") or compatibility problems (for "hard disk emulation".) [22:20] most live cd's use isolinux. [22:21] Dr_Willis: Thanks for the explanation, I didnt know that. [22:21] well - bbl [22:21] I guess it may have been installed when I first tried using the standard repair options of boot-repair with my complicated setup [22:21] ubuntu live usb - ive had to tweak their rathe complex syslinux setup files befor.. === alazyworkaholic1 is now known as alazyworkaholic [22:29] alazyworkaholic, You can move that windows boot to the C partition of windows to have it on the same HD if needed with a recovery or install disc if your booting it or want to. [22:30] How can I install MySQL without having it start after install? [22:31] CharlieSu: Install it regurlarly, then configure it to not start automatically. [22:31] does unity-panel-service have a memory leak in 13.10? when I first log in, mine uses 5.7M, but after a few days, it's over 500M [22:32] bekks: I want to install it regularly but I don't want it to start after the install is done.. Apache and MySQL are exampels of services that automatically start upon installation.. [22:33] CharlieSu: Why dont you just stop it after the installation? [22:33] duxb: mine is at 66M currently [22:33] even more than compiz [22:33] xangua, how long have you been logged in? [22:34] duxb: almost half a day, i upgrade to 13.10 yesterday [22:34] bekks: That is an option, but I'd rather not have to do that.. Seems silly.. Especially things like MySQL where I may want to init my DB differently. [22:34] CharlieSu: Then let ot start, shut it down, and configure it the way you want. [22:35] bekks: lol.. ok. you obviously don't have an answer.. thx [22:35] CharlieSu: There is no way to regularly install it but having it not starting after installation. [22:36] CharlieSu: The only way would be to create a custom installation package. Which is FAR more effort then just shutting it down after installation. Did you want to hear that= [22:36] Yeah, unity-panel-service adds about 200-300K every time a program is launched, never deletes [22:36] * wilee-nilee puts 20$ on bekks argument [22:37] Hi, If I install tlp , do I have to uninstall the powermanager ? [22:37] CharlieSu, if you can find the system file that contains all the programs launched on boot and remove mysql from that [22:38] I can't remember what the file is though [22:38] duxb: Which will not inhibit mysql to be started right after the installation. [22:38] true [22:38] wilee-nilee: ;) [22:38] I'm in for the win. ;) === marti819 is now known as lazaruz [22:39] Anybody? if I install TLP, do I have to uninstall the default power manager? [22:39] CharlieSu, can you tell us why you don't want it to start the first time after install? [22:39] duxb: He wants to initialize the db differently. [22:40] how do I bind backspace to go back one step in the file manager? [22:40] what if you preconfigure all it's files, installler asks if you want to overwrite them, don't then blam, launches after install with your desired settings [22:40] didn't ubuntu used to have this feature? hmm [22:41] I mean it's pretty basic, even xubuntu has it [22:41] or rather xfce then [22:41] yeyeman: gnome reduced the functions in nautilus [22:41] different file manager, yeyem [22:41] or at least different default file manager [22:41] can I easily implement it? [22:42] You could just use thundar, or whatever filemanager XFCE4 uses === brokenstein_ is now known as krux [22:45] and can I set it as system default then somehow? [22:45] I haven't tried changeing it before [22:45] but get the feeling that if i click 'open directory' from some application nautilus will open anyway [22:46] and that inconsistency would be worse than not being able to backspace [22:46] you know what I mean? === Jeruvy is now known as Baphomet === Baphomet is now known as Guest50230 === Guest50230 is now known as Baphometh === Baphometh is now known as Baphomet_Jeruvy [22:51] have you tried googling "change default file browser in ubuntu"? [22:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager [22:52] on linux you use the file manager you want, unlike on windows [22:52] apps shouldn't call a particular browser directly [22:52] they call some app that selects the default browser [22:52] I just finished installing Ubuntu 13.10 alongside Windows 8.1, but I can't get the GRUB menu to appear.

[23:19] ok, terminal is also in a very small window [23:20] thats the xev input window. any input it gets from anything - it will print info out to the terminal [23:20] sudo cat /dev/input/mice normally prints out 'gibberish' when you move the mouse around also. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [23:21] if neither of those show mouse movements with some output.. thats a sign of what i would think would be a kernel type issue. [23:21] but don't know how to resize terminal window without mouse [23:21] or how to move the wondow [23:22] clefebvre: dude [23:22] sudo cat /dev/input/mice try this command. it should work form any terminal. or console [23:22] clefebvre: are u there? [23:22] also look at what devices are in /dev/input i got a mouse1 mouse0 and mice devices [23:24] it is showing some strange signs [23:26] its not showing anything [23:27] if I move the mouse the strange signs appears in the terminal [23:29] thats showing the mice device is working then. [23:29] so its aparently X thats not reading the right device. [23:29] do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [23:30] if so - look in it - with a text editor. see if thers some line mentioning /dev/input/mouse1 or mouse0 or mice, it may be its not set to be reading from /dev/input/mice like it should [23:31] ok [23:33] there is no xorg.conf, only xorg.conf.backup [23:33] as a test you could cp the xorg.conf.backup to xorg.conf and try restarting the x server. [23:33] most machines dont need an xorg.conf these days - X auto configures [23:33] be back in a bit [23:34] guys I got a transparent box on my unity desktop, when I reboot is the only time I can see it, I can't figure out what it is.
