| gimpygoo | I need an app that I can redirect my page to this comp.. I know that apache ( at least I think ) is included with ubuntu.... Right ? | 03:14 |
| mjw65ss | deper29 Thanks that worked like a champ | 03:15 |
| deper29 | mjw65ss: perfect :) | 03:15 |
| deper29 | mjw65ss: were you able to login as both root and your other user? | 03:15 |
| mjw65ss | Now i need to figure out how to choose between LFS and 13.10 | 03:16 |
| deper29 | mjw65ss: are you using grub? | 03:16 |
| mjw65ss | I logged in as other user and was happy with that | 03:16 |
| mjw65ss | yes grub2 | 03:17 |
| deper29 | which of the two does your BIOS point to? | 03:17 |
| deper29 | does it point to boot from lfs or ubuntu? | 03:17 |
| mjw65ss | im in 13.10 right now on same comp as LFS | 03:17 |
| deper29 | which is the default now? | 03:17 |
| mjw65ss | LFS is default | 03:18 |
| deper29 | okay, in your lfs system, I think if you do 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' as root that *should* find ubuntu | 03:18 |
| mjw65ss | Id rather have 13.10 as default | 03:19 |
| deper29 | mjw65ss: are they installed on two separate drives? | 03:20 |
| deper29 | or is it one drive 2 partitions? | 03:20 |
| mjw65ss | 1 drive 2 partitions and a shared swap | 03:20 |
| deper29 | mjw65ss: in all honesty, since you're in lfs I would just do the command I did and it should find ubuntu | 03:21 |
| mjw65ss | im in ubuntu now | 03:21 |
| mjw65ss | but i will try that | 03:22 |
| deper29 | then you just edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_DEFAULT to whichever menu entry is ubuntu | 03:22 |
| deper29 | *however* that might not work. If it has alternate boot options under a submenu of a sort, then you have to edit /etc/grub.d/ stuff | 03:23 |
| deper29 | and unfortunately that's out of my skill because I've never cared to do it. | 03:24 |

| deper29 | mjw65ss: out of curiosity, why did you install LFS? | 03:25 |

| racecar | or a better question, can malware thats on a liveusb infect my windows/ubuntu drives? I think it cant, but need confirmation | 03:27 |
| deper29 | yeah, haha, I've had that *exact* problem. I forgot to set my root password before during an install and couldn't do anythnig | 03:27 |
| mjw65ss | took me about 7 hours total | 03:27 |
| deper29 | sounds right. I think my gentoo install was a bit shorter, but mind you I don't think I had to compile as much as you did | 03:27 |

| fishduck | can I press a F key in unity to create a new file? | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | fishduck, why don;t you try them and tell us. | 03:37 |
| fishduck | because I didn't want to accidentally delete my CPU. But don't worry, nothing happened ^^ | 03:37 |
| mukti | I need a way to instantly sync files across two servers as soon as changes are made on one. Initially I thought of using NFS; however, if the NFS server goes down, the files are not accessible. Is there a solution that would duplicate files across multiple servers near-instantly (or at least within a reasonable amount of time)? | 03:38 |
| fishduck | mukti: check rsync | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | fishduck, wait, we can delete a cpu? | 03:40 |
| mukti | fishduck: I had thought of rsync, but would I just set up a cron job to copy the files? | 03:40 |
| deper29 | cfhowlett: yup. I deleted mine by accident last week. couldn't boot ever again. | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | deper29, pretty sure that's impossible. I'm guessing you deleted the OPERATING SYSTEM ... the cpu is (probably) still comfortably seated on your motherboard. details matter. | 03:41 |
| fishduck | mukti: I think rsync does exactly what you want. A cron job however, does it on a schedule.. and its effect depends on how you implement the job. | 03:41 |
| deper29 | cfhowlett: nope, I meant what i said. It was why I could never boot again. I deleted the cpu from my life forever. | 03:42 |
| hnhnhn | Hellllo | 03:42 |
| cfhowlett | deper29, uh huh. you realize the cpu - central processing unit, i.e. it's a CHIP on your motherboard? so you ... transported it to the neutral zone? | 03:43 |
| mukti | fishduck: okay, I'll read up on rsync more. I'm trying to implement this as a way to provide some sort of redundancy across servers (I'm going to have two servers running, and they need to always have the same files incase one goes down). Thanks | 03:43 |
| deper29 | cfhowlett: no, this isn't star trek... | 03:43 |
| deper29 | I just deleted it. You know, using an equivalent amount of anti-matter | 03:44 |
| genii | hnhnhn: Hello! If you have a support question regarding your Ubuntu, please just ask your question in the channel, so that someone may assist you. | 03:44 |
| wilee-nilee | just another dimension uh the 6th | 03:44 |
| deper29 | or that | 03:44 |
| deper29 | cfhowlett: I hope you knew I was joking... | 03:44 |
| fishduck | mukti: you could make a daily/hourly backup.. it depends on what you're up to. If a big file changes every minute, and rsync is unable to transfer just the small changes of it, perhaps rsync isnt the best idea. | 03:45 |
| mukti | fishduck: the only other thing I was thinking of was maybe some type of distributed parallel fault-tolerant file system | 03:48 |
| fishduck | mukti: do you need a real time backup, or what? | 03:48 |
| mukti | kind of. I'm trying to set up failover between two servers, and I want the data on one to be available on the other even if only one of them is up | 03:49 |
| wafflejock | mukti: how are you storing the data? | 03:50 |
| wafflejock | mukti: just curious if your using a DB engine for most of it, you may have better options available for replication in that case | 03:50 |
| mukti | wafflejock: right now, its just stored in a directory on the servers, nothing special | 03:51 |
| Mace268 | Am I correct in assuming thew package updater has an error in the notification area because some ppa's haven't updated to saucy yet? | 03:53 |
| fishduck | mukti: if you use some kind of syncing software, and the files are many/big, they _will_ be out of sync and different versions will be presented by them. Sophisticated synchronization techniques could solve that though, but i.e. rsync does not do it. | 03:53 |
| fishduck | Mace268: you shouldn't get an error if there's no updates for your dist. | 03:54 |
| mukti | This is actually for a school project. I have owncloud set up on two VMs, and I was going to set them up for to failover; but I failed to think out how I would handle duplicating the data across the servers would work. I'm looking into other things like lustre or tahoe-lafs; but I'm not really sure if that is what I'm looking for, or if it is more complicated then what I really need | 03:54 |
| fishduck | Mace268: if you add "incorrect" ppas for your software updater however, it's plausible (I don't know). Show the error message. | 03:54 |
| Mace268 | fishduck, i get some like this: "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/brandonsnider/cdrtools/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found" | 03:55 |
| Mace268 | they all worked in raring | 03:55 |
| fishduck | Mace268: quite straight forward. The ppa does not exist. That url is invalid because there's no release for saucy | 03:56 |
| wafflejock | Mace268: http://ppa.launchpad.net/brandonsnider/cdrtools/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-amd64/Packages | 03:56 |
| wafflejock | Mace268: see how one has saucy and the other has raring | 03:56 |
| yeyeman | what does line 12 mean? http://files.aigamedev.com/tutorials/aap-AStarCode.png | 03:56 |
| wafflejock | Mace268: means they don't have a repo setup for your version yet | 03:56 |
| Mace268 | ok that's what i thought, thanks for clearing it up. | 03:56 |
| wafflejock | Mace268: np yeah you can just try to load in a browser too, if it's giving you a 404 there you're not going to be able to get it basically | 03:57 |
| Mace268 | i guess i can safely ignore the errors until saucy is set up in those ppa's | 03:58 |
| wafflejock | yeyeman: stackoverflow question not really suitable for the IRC I don't think... intriguing though | 03:58 |
| fishduck | mukti: it really depends on the kind of data and application. | 03:59 |

| lotuspsychje | i read one day might have to do with this plugins eat memory to much? | 04:10 |
| wilee-nilee | It's a bit finicky many mess with it and don't know of the reboot or reset and loose the desktop and some have come crying here. | 04:10 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: yeah think just no need to bloat the system with stuff that isn't going to work well for everyone | 04:10 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: yes indeed i had to reboot also, makes sense | 04:11 |
| Ziber | I have an ubuntu server, with bridged interfaces (p1p1 is the physical ethernet interface, and I have it bridged to xenbr0 for Xen VM connectivity). When bridging interfaces, they both shouldn't show up with an IP, right? | 04:11 |
| wilee-nilee | I used to to use the unity desktop and saved the config, I like it but use the shell now with synapse and the cairo dock. | 04:12 |
| wilee-nilee | there is a config save when you get it all tweaked | 04:12 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: is cairo dock more stable then docky? | 04:12 |
| wilee-nilee | I like it better, not sure if more stable but more tweaking, I save a config of it to. | 04:13 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: nice, ill try it | 04:14 |
| wafflejock | Ziber: basic understanding of bridging I would agree with what you're saying | 04:14 |
| lotuspsychje | Ziber: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know it aswell? | 04:15 |
| wafflejock | Ziber: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge | 04:16 |
| Ziber | When I added "iface p1p1 inet manual", I lost connectivity to the box. Which is sitting my house... 200 miles away :( | 04:17 |

| babinlonston | Hi All , What is Reverse proxy and what the use of it , in which environment i need it ? and when i need to configure a reverse proxy , How to do it in ubuntu ? | 04:20 |
| lotuspsychje | !proxy | babinlonston | 04:20 |
| ubottu | babinlonston: Several Ubuntu channels prohibit access from open proxies and other anonymous connections due to a high level of abuse. The supported ways to hide your IP address on freenode are to use !Tor or get a !cloak | 04:20 |
| wafflejock | Ziber: were you typing these commands directly into ssh console | 04:20 |
| wafflejock | Ziber: believe you told that interface to have no IP | 04:21 |
| babinlonston | ubottu: ??? | 04:21 |
| Ziber | wafflejock: Well, yeah. You see my dilemma. | 04:21 |
| wilee-nilee | lotuspsychje, mines quite simple looking. http://imagebin.org/275701 | 04:21 |
| wafflejock | Ziber: I do | 04:21 |
| wafflejock | Ziber: unfortunately I have no idea what you can do except relax until you get home | 04:21 |
| buu | Ziber: Can you power cycle the machine? | 04:22 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: very nice! i like minimal | 04:22 |
| Ziber | Not remotely. I'm gonna see if my parents will fix it for me. And if I get it back up, I'll put the VPN on a VM, so I'm not messing with the network of the physical machine. | 04:22 |
| babinlonston | hey i'm asking for configuring in my office man | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | lotuspsychje, me to I have the top bar recessed, the shell has a lot of nice extensions. | 04:23 |
| buu | Ziber: That's what I meant, the parent power cycle =] | 04:23 |
| wafflejock | Ziber: yeah power cycle should do you good since nothing was being updated in the actual networking files yet | 04:23 |
| === ChairmanOfTheBoa is now known as COB | ||
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: ill try it in a bit, always loved ubuntu eye candy :p will match the wobbly windows | 04:24 |
| === COB is now known as EatAtJoes | ||
| wilee-nilee | The shell has a wobbly window extension, but not as nice as the compiz one. | 04:24 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: I used to dig the burning windows and exploding windows and everything too but found it was too distracting ultimately.... wobbly is still all good | 04:24 |
| lotuspsychje | wafflejock: did you try it on 13.04? | 04:25 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: no haven't used them in a bit probably 12.04 | 04:25 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: have wobbly on | 04:25 |
| lotuspsychje | wafflejock: cool! | 04:25 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: bummed about some of the keybinding issues in KDE it's the only down point I've found | 04:26 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: yes, the compiz one is pretty stable | 04:26 |
| lotuspsychje | wafflejock: you on kubuntu? | 04:26 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: like need scripts to use the super key by itself and keypad mapping issues | 04:26 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: yeah | 04:26 |
| lotuspsychje | nice1 | 04:26 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: went from 13.04 Ubuntu to Kubuntu, wanted to be able to customize, which I'm happy with but just bummed about a few of the keybinding issues | 04:27 |
| wilee-nilee | I used to have the cube and all the fun stuff in compiz, it did not work well on the transition to unity, but I think does again now to some extent. | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | wafflejock: hows the speed for you on 13.04 kubuntu? | 04:27 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: speed isn't really much of an issue, SSD and 2.4 GHz Quad-Core with 8 GB of RAM | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: never been able to run cube properly with unity myself | 04:28 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: any linux has plenty of headroom | 04:28 |
| fishduck | just simply want to tar -c compressed.tar /some/dir .. but I'm doing something wrong, now do I not? | 04:28 |
| wilee-nilee | 11 something it got funky if I remember, sort of | 04:28 |
| lotuspsychje | wafflejock: nice specs, what ssd brand you run on kubuntu? | 04:28 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: not much for a graphics chipset but really can't notice really any lag doing anything, booting the Win 8 Virtual machine takes about 10 seconds | 04:28 |
| wafflejock | lotuspsychje: it's a crucial 128GB | 04:29 |
| wafflejock | always strapped for space | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | wafflejock: i still use an old transcend 8 gig slc on ubuntu 13.04 64bit, and goes rocketfast | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo halt in 3sec | 04:30 |
| wilee-nilee | I think more would use the shell if they new of the extensions it is moving forward | 04:30 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: indeed | 04:30 |
| soldierboy | wilee-nilee, how is it moving forward? | 04:30 |
| Hilikus | why isn't ubuntu persisting my nvidia-settings? i have 3 monitors attached but only use 1, every time i log in i have to re-disable the other two. I try apply and also "Save to x configuration file" but the settings are always lost after a reboot | 04:31 |
| wilee-nilee | soldierboy, Just getting better per edition and the independent users are making nice extensions, both unity and the shell are nice though. | 04:31 |
| wafflejock | Hilikus: believe you need to run nview as sudo for it to have write permissions to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:31 |
| wilee-nilee | it sits under unity and compiz | 04:32 |
| Hilikus | wafflejock: when i do "save to x configuration" it asks for root password, i though it was doing it then | 04:32 |
| wafflejock | Hilikus: could be just a guess | 04:32 |
| Hilikus | i will try starting the process as root to see | 04:32 |
| itsnotlupus | dumb Q: just upgrade to 13.10, chrome refuses to start claiming it can't find libudev.so.0. libudev.so.0 is under /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ exactly where it should be. how would I get chrome to accept that simple fact? | 04:33 |
| wafflejock | itsnotlupus: take chrome aside and let it know you mean business and it's not getting any TV for a week | 04:33 |
| wafflejock | :) | 04:33 |
| itsnotlupus | but Chrome is how I watch all my TV :'( | 04:33 |
| itsnotlupus | no but seriously. tried ldconfig, no difference. it makes no sense. | 04:34 |
| wilee-nilee | itsnotlupus, Is it the latest chrome there was a missing something not long ago, I have not seen that complaint here in the last week. | 04:34 |
| itsnotlupus | fair point. maybe I need to download a new chrome and hope for the best. | 04:34 |
| the8thbit | My webcam doesn't work in firefox or chromium, but it does work on the desktop with cheese. | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | the8thbit: did you select your webcam in the flash window onsite? | 04:35 |
| wafflejock | the8thbit: yeah was going to ask how are you testing in the browser | 04:35 |
| wafflejock | the8thbit: Google Hangouts I haven't seen any issues | 04:36 |
| wilee-nilee | yeah check the adobe controls | 04:36 |
| wafflejock | the8thbit: but has their own plugin and controls | 04:36 |
| the8thbit | lotuspsychje, wafflejock: I tried this site: http://webcamtoy.com/ | 04:36 |
| wafflejock | adobe settings defintiely would block but should ask for access too | 04:36 |
| the8thbit | It says I have a webcam, and the little light on my laptop turns on, but all I get is black | 04:36 |
| the8thbit | and I think I'm using the HTML5 version | 04:37 |
| the8thbit | so it shouldn't be an issue with flash | 04:37 |
| wafflejock | the8thbit: all I get is black there too but I have two webcams | 04:37 |
| the8thbit | Ah | 04:37 |
| wafflejock | the8thbit: may be getting my laptop one instead of the main one but may just be broken | 04:37 |
| wafflejock | the8thbit: maybe wait for a few more to chime in but didn't work here after allowing | 04:37 |
| the8thbit | Well, in flash sites, I can't interact with the little popup that asks for my permission | 04:37 |
| the8thbit | does anyone know what coursera uses for signature track? (flash/html5) That's why I need my webcam | 04:38 |
| beepie | the8thbit, chrome has the lastest flash | 04:42 |
| beepie | ,/latest | 04:42 |
| the8thbit | beepie: I'm using chromium, does that also have the latest flash? | 04:44 |
| xangua | the8thbit: no | 04:45 |

| czhanacek | Hi everyone | 04:48 |
| czhanacek | So I managed to screw up one of our iMacs pretty well. | 04:48 |
| nucc1 | hi, what user does cron run scripts as? | 04:49 |
| czhanacek | I dd'd to the wrong disk (accidentally) when cloning another disk, and that disk was my hard drive. My question is this: Can I just run a live cd to wipe the hard drive and then install Mac OS X fresh? | 04:50 |
| wilee-nilee | lotuspsychje, cool I like it that setup, it is in .config now to just add to any new install. | 04:50 |
| czhanacek | Currently, I can't do that from the Recovery OS because it was also trashed. | 04:50 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: tnx for the hint! | 04:50 |
| xmetal | brb, trying to figure why my circuitry calculations are wrong again .. (and not even the same way they were wrong the first time) | 04:51 |
| wilee-nilee | hehe o prob | 04:51 |
| wilee-nilee | no* | 04:51 |
| cfhowlett | czhanacek, you'll have to re-grub / bootloader configuration | 04:51 |
| lotuspsychje | !cron | nucc1 | 04:52 |
| ubottu | nucc1: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto | 04:52 |
| czhanacek | cfhowlett: What is re-grubbing? | 04:52 |
| xmetal | going to the fridge for a second "fridge raid" | 04:52 |
| xmetal | :P sorry ... "ot " i know i know | 04:52 |
| wilee-nilee | That's why I never dd | 04:54 |
| wafflejock | czhanacek: do you have an OS X installation CD? | 04:54 |
| wafflejock | czhanacek: if you have that and Apple hardware I don't see why a clean install wouldn't work | 04:54 |
| czhanacek | wafflejock: Can't find it... | 04:55 |
| wafflejock | czhanacek: doing it on a hackintosh setup you just need a boot CD you use in advance of popping in the OS X setup disc | 04:55 |
| cfhowlett | czhanacek, grub tells the computer where to look when you boot. usually, the last OS loaded writes the bootloader and ignores all the previous OS. thus, install grub last or reconfigure if you install another OS | 04:55 |
| czhanacek | Also, I don't have a drive to burn dual-layer DVDs that all the Mac disks seem to be on. | 04:55 |
| wafflejock | czhanacek: you can order them this is what I started with to do a hackintosh setup http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard | 04:56 |
| czhanacek | cfhowlett: I'm not exactly looking to use Ubuntu long term | 04:56 |
| czhanacek | This was more to be an emergency setup | 04:56 |
| wafflejock | czhanacek: you may want to check out ubuntu while the CDz in the mail :), not sure what other alternatives you would have | 04:57 |
| wafflejock | czhanacek: if it's still under warranty maybe try to contact an apple store | 04:58 |
| czhanacek | Alright thanks wafflejock | 04:59 |
| wafflejock | czhanacek: np sorry it's not such a productive answer hope you get it worked out... dd is a double edge sword | 05:00 |
| cfhowlett | czhanacek, virtualbox is the way then | 05:00 |

| mjw65ss | deper29 Ok,I can now choose between LFS 7.4 and Ubuntu 13.10 . Now onto BLFS. | 05:04 |
| deper29 | mjw65ss: BLFS? | 05:04 |
| deper29 | also, was it as simple as editing /etc/default/grub? or did you have to dabble in /etc/grub.d? | 05:05 |
| mjw65ss | Part 2 has all the goodies to add to base LFS | 05:05 |
| mjw65ss | I just reconfigured the config file by adding the 13.10 location and menu entry in grub | 05:06 |
| mjw65ss | Yes it was a simple edit | 05:07 |
| mjw65ss | BLSF = Beyond LFS | 05:08 |
| mjw65ss | Then I can get a desktop going | 05:09 |
| deper29 | mjw65ss: ah, I see. So did you have to grab kernel source from kernel.org then? | 05:09 |
| mjw65ss | No i built one | 05:10 |
| deper29 | no, I know.where did you get your source from though? | 05:10 |
| deper29 | to build | 05:10 |
| mjw65ss | err..configured and then compiled | 05:10 |
| deper29 | no, I know that. But where did you download the stuff to compile? | 05:10 |

| RudyValencia | Hi, I'm planning to set up Ubuntu on my desktop and I'm curious: do I need swap if I have 32GB RAM? | 05:41 |
| RudyValencia | If so, how much should I allocate? | 05:41 |
| ticamai | Rudy: With that much RAM, on a normal desktop machine, I doubt you will need swap for anything. I have 4gb of RAM with 4gb swap and can run multiple memory-heavy games at once, with no issues. | 05:42 |
| ticamai | rudy: If you want to allocate swap, I recommend the same amount of RAM you have, and maybe a tiny bit extra. I believe hibernation may require this, though i may be wrong. | 05:43 |
| BradTN | ticamai any raid knowledge? | 05:44 |
| ticamai | BradTN: I'm afraid not. I'm only still early in my RAID training in my job as a NOC technician | 05:45 |
| kalakadsn | is there any good application for photo viewer, i use gnome image viewer and it is working good only in one instance, when i open multiple windows of the program, cursor gets busy, and this is annoying, nautilus also behaves same, how to solve that, nautilus work fine when i click the icon on the unity panel and when i click icon on my dekstop, nautilus gets busy cursor | 05:50 |
| cfhowlett | kalakadsn, shotwell is a good viewer. darktable is for a bit more advanced editing | 05:51 |
| cfhowlett | kalakadsn, but it sounds like your gpu might be a limiting factor. | 05:51 |
| === _multivak is now known as multivak | ||
| xmetal | i use various viewers (just to try them) myself but for editing, i typically always go back to GIMP ..no matter which OS i am on | 05:52 |

| RudyValencia | ? | 05:52 |

| RudyValencia | (I'm going to be doing Android building on it) | 05:52 |

| cfhowlett | Waaan, mmmm ... english? | 05:53 |
| kalakadsn | a simple dual core cpu 2.2 ghz | 05:53 |
| kalakadsn | 2 gb ram | 05:53 |
| kalakadsn | intel integrated graphics | 05:53 |
| cfhowlett | kalakadsn, okay, so an older box with limited ram. vanilla ubuntu used quite a lot of that. I'd suggest you do a test. sudo apt-get install xfce4 && sudo apt-get install lxde | 05:54 |

| cfhowlett | kalakadsn, logout. choose a different desktop environment. login. see what you think. If you like, xubuntu and lubuntu might be in your future. and if you really want to immersed in photo editing, see #ubuntustudio | 05:55 |
| kalakadsn | cfhowlett: when i open file browser from home icon on panel, then there is no problem, even when 10 windows are opened, absolutely no problem, but when i open file browser from desktop icon(Command nautilus) , cursor gets busy, that's it | 05:56 |
| kalakadsn | cfhowlett: no, i don't like lxde | 05:56 |
| kalakadsn | it's fast but it is not what i lookinng for | 05:56 |
| kalakadsn | and unity is quite fast on my system | 05:56 |
| kalakadsn | i am not facing any laggings | 05:56 |
| wilee-nilee | rawfodog, gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub is the area and GRUB_TIMEOUT= is the time, but be aware if you set it to 0 you may not have access to grub at all. | 05:56 |
| BradTN | wilee-nilee can you help with raid?? | 05:57 |
| RudyValencia | do western digital USB3 hard disks work on Ubuntu? | 05:57 |
| wilee-nilee | BradTN, Never touched raid. | 05:57 |

| BradTN | ive used other usb 3 disks on ubuntu fine | 05:57 |
| rawfodog | wilee-nilee, Id be able to fix it with a live cd thought right ? | 05:57 |
| rawfodog | ps, thanks | 05:57 |
| kalakadsn | cfhowlett: i usually do file browsing, with internet browsing and chatting etc, sometimes along with music player | 05:58 |
| kalakadsn | otherwise , a movie player like vlc, with other applications off | 05:58 |
| RudyValencia | theirs use a "SES" interface along with the USB mass storage interface | 05:58 |
| wilee-nilee | rawfodog, with a chroot sure, not a good way to go, some can set it to 0 and still get grub I would test it and leave enough like 1-2 seconds, your choice. | 05:58 |
| kalakadsn | so, RAM is not a issue and CPU is never above 30-35%, so this is not a problem for me | 05:59 |
| rawfodog | Ill leave it at 1 I guess :) | 05:59 |
| wilee-nilee | rawfodog, You dual booting? | 05:59 |
| rawfodog | wilee-nilee, nope | 06:00 |
| wilee-nilee | rawfodog, single install should bypass grub | 06:00 |
| kalakadsn | cfhowlett: i tried lxde but it doesn't have any looks. I use dash to search for my favorite application, this is not in lxde and it is easy to find application in dash | 06:00 |
| wilee-nilee | rawfodog, Try sudo update-grub and see if still there. | 06:00 |
| kalakadsn | cfhowlett: further PCMANFS doesn't have file search feature | 06:01 |
| rawfodog | wilee-nilee, I just changed it | 06:01 |
| kalakadsn | cfhowlett: and file search is a big issue in ubuntu | 06:01 |
| cfhowlett | kalakadsn, that was my best guess. nothing more to add. ask again in channel | 06:02 |
| kalakadsn | cfhowlett: hmm, thanks | 06:02 |
| wilee-nilee | rawfodog, run a sudo update-grub so it set and see if grub shows at all a single install should not show grub anyway. | 06:02 |
| rawfodog | ran the update. wilee-nilee, what am I looking for ? its at 0 still | 06:03 |
| kalakadsn | leave that, is there any way to improve read write performance to the NTFS file system | 06:03 |
| kalakadsn | i am getting half the performance , as compared with Windows | 06:03 |
| Ari-Yang | rawfodog: check /etc/default/grub and the line #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true should be uncommented | 06:04 |
| Ari-Yang | rawfodog: actually, pastebin /etc/default/grub let me see it | 06:04 |
| kalakadsn | where to add feature request to ubuntu | 06:04 |
| wilee-nilee | rawfodog, On a single install grub should not show at boot, what other OS is showing when you run the update? Have you had a dual boot, or removed another OS? | 06:05 |
| genii | kalakadsn: The traditional way is to fie a bug report against the package which you would like to have the feature, with the title something like "Feature Request" or "Wishlist" | 06:05 |
| kalakadsn | genii: is there any direct mailing system | 06:06 |
| wilee-nilee | kalakadsn, This a shared ntfs for read and write? | 06:06 |
| genii | kalakadsn: Not really. Package maintainers ( groups or individuals) have emails but it is considered bad form to contact them directly in this way unless it concerns some dire issue, which a Feature Request is not | 06:08 |
| wilee-nilee | kalakadsn, ntfs faster writes sudo mount -o big_writes /dev/sdXX /media/tmp the XX's are the HD and partition | 06:08 |
| kalakadsn | wilee-nilee: i am using ntfs-3g and there are 2 partitions of NTFS and i tried NTFS-EXT4, ext4-NTFS, NTFS-NTFS, speed are approximately 15 Mb/s for writing, 18 Mb for reading | 06:09 |
| wilee-nilee | kalakadsn, My concern is this to the windows OS mainly. | 06:09 |

| etfb | Is there a way to convert an Ubuntu system to Lubuntu without having to reinstall from a disk? | 06:42 |
| Linus | etfb yes there shoud be is it lxde? | 06:42 |
| etfb | Linus: I believe so. | 06:43 |
| etfb | I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 on a second-hand computer and it's too slow, but I can't make gnome-session-fallback work or switch off Compiz, so LXDE looks like the best option. | 06:43 |
| Linus | etfb then just install lxde from the repo. Removing unity might not be so easy but it shouldnt interfeer. | 06:43 |
| bazhang | lubuntu-desktop is the package etfb | 06:45 |
| Linus | etfb Ive done it with kde | 06:45 |
| Linus | no it isnt | 06:45 |
| etfb | bazhang: Aha! I was typing out a question to which that was the answer. | 06:45 |
| etfb | I couldn't find any package named lubuntu-*, but I was using the Software Center and it was slooooooow... | 06:46 |
| Linus | search for lxde | 06:46 |
| etfb | bazhang: Is it possible that the various *ubuntu-desktop packages are no longer included in the standard repos? | 06:47 |
| Linus | ^^ no bazhang is just wrong | 06:47 |
| bazhang | !info lubuntu-desktop | etfb | 06:48 |
| ubottu | etfb: lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.52 (saucy), package size 2 kB, installed size 31 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; powerpc; armhf) | 06:48 |
| etfb | Linus: don't be rude. bazhang does a lot of selfless good work here. He/she deserves respect. | 06:48 |
| bazhang | etfb, you would need to update soureces.list first; sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:48 |
| Linus | ok sorry but try lxde | 06:48 |
| etfb | Linus: though if you're secretly THAT Linus, I guess that wasn't all that rude compared to your usual... (I love Linus Torvalds, but man does he get grumpy...) | 06:49 |
| etfb | Trying both now. | 06:50 |
| Linus | etfb no Im not and yes he does. Got to love the guy though not just for what he created but his persona. | 06:50 |
| etfb | Linus: True. | 06:50 |
| etfb | So once it's installed (and yes, lubuntu-desktop does exist, and presumably loads LXDE as part of it, how do I make it the default? I remember something about having to manually enable a different login frontend. | 06:51 |
| bazhang | etfb, just select in the login window | 06:52 |
| d351r3d | What is the best way to download the repository for Ubuntu? Debian has images that I can jigdo. | 06:53 |
| Linus | etfb its apt-get install lxde. I just did an apt-cache search an thats what came up. | 06:53 |
| etfb | bazhang: Oh cool. I've noticed that option appeared when I installed gnome-session-fallback (though the WM itself didn't work). | 06:53 |
| etfb | I wonder what the difference is. Hmmm... | 06:54 |
| etfb | !info lxde | 06:54 |
| ubottu | lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.0-4ubuntu4 (saucy), package size 2 kB, installed size 30 kB | 06:54 |
| geirha | lubuntu-desktop is an empty package that depends on the lxde package, as well as the other packages that will be installed by a fresh lubuntu install | 06:55 |
| Linus | !info gentoo | 06:55 |
| ubottu | gentoo (source: gentoo): fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.19.13-2 (saucy), package size 755 kB, installed size 1906 kB | 06:55 |
| etfb | Judging from the amount of stuff I'm getting through lubuntu-desktop, it appears that the -desktop one installs all the "standard" software, not just the basics of the WM. Makes sense. | 06:55 |
| geirha | If you install only lxde, you'll be missing some packages you generally want | 06:55 |
| wafflejock | etfb: believe lots of the DEs have a -full package for getting it "all" in one shot | 06:56 |
| Linus | etfb you should have used lxde instead of lubuntu-desktop | 06:56 |
| Linus | ^^ using lubuntu-desktop your doing a Lubuntu install | 06:56 |
| d351r3d | Is there a somewhat easy process to getting all of Ubuntu repositories in one go or on dvd? | 06:57 |
| wafflejock | d351r3d: don't think all of the repo would fit on a DVD | 06:57 |
| etfb | Linus: I would rather get the full system, because then I don't have to deal with crummy apps that make certain assumptions about the WM they're running in. It's nice to have the option, but for my 8-year-old daughter's computer this method makes more sense. | 06:57 |
| genii | d351r3d: The repositories are somewhere between 35-40G | 06:57 |
| d351r3d | Well 20+ dvds. I know. | 06:57 |
| Linus | etfb ubuntu is left behind | 06:58 |
| genii | d351r3d: You could use apt-mirror then copy all the files someplace else after | 06:58 |
| wafflejock | d351r3d: I have heard of programs for getting sets of packages together for an ISO but can't recall any names now, never tried myself | 06:58 |
| etfb | Linus: I know, but that's fine. This is still quicker than downloading, burning and installing a fresh Lubuntu system. | 06:58 |
| d351r3d | I'm not tripping on the size of the repository. I just know to me that it's mostly unknown to a mortal how to acquire it. | 06:59 |
| Linus | etfb maybe | 06:59 |
| wafflejock | genii: apt-mirror nice | 07:00 |
| wafflejock | genii: do you actively use this? | 07:01 |
| d351r3d | So apt-mirror is the way to go? Would it collect all of the repositories that are connected during? | 07:01 |
| genii | wafflejock: I've used apt-mirror previously to host a repository offline for computer labs which were not internet-connected | 07:01 |
| wafflejock | genii: cool... seems like it might be fun to do just for edutainment value... have a local mirror for doing setups faster too perhaps | 07:02 |
| Linus | Ive found the ubuntu mirrors hard to find. I tried finding the source for the ubuntu installer (forgot the name) ap.... | 07:02 |
| wafflejock | currently learning the ropes on Grunt.js so one thing at a time but will try to stash that memory | 07:02 |
| geirha | d351r3d: #ubuntu-mirrors likely know the various way you can do the mirroring | 07:02 |
| babinlonston | Will DNS replace my system IP address by using my system name ? if i configured a Local DNS server ? | 07:03 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: DNS only resolves a name to IP it doesn't replace the IP | 07:03 |
| babinlonston | wafflejock: then did i need to set the ip address for my host manually ? | 07:04 |
| d351r3d | Apt-mirror seems the way to go. I'll give it a shot after I jigdo the debian repos. | 07:04 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: if you just want to change the setting for how you resolve a name locally you can use the /etc/hosts file | 07:04 |
| xino77 | quick question. Is there a command to verify all packages in release is installed and if all packages are correct? | 07:05 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: if you want everything on your network to resolve a particular name to a device then you'll want some sort of DNS | 07:05 |
| babinlonston | wafflejock: ok let me explain | 07:05 |
| chaotix | hey | 07:05 |
| Linus | babinloston What you mean by system ip? The world sees your router ip and no they cant route to your pc unless your router is missconfigured. | 07:05 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| babinlonston | wafflejock: we have 20 ubuntu 12.04 client machines and a server , i need to get assign ip address automatically , every time it Don't need to rotate the ip other machine , how can i dot it | 07:07 |
| xino77 | babin need to set that up at the dhcp server | 07:07 |
| babinlonston | Linus: I'm talking about local Ip address in my LAN | 07:07 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: sorry don't understand why are you not using DHCP to assign addresses what does it have to do with DHCP? | 07:07 |
| xino77 | and can set up the ip by mac address | 07:07 |
| xino77 | or set up each machine with its own static ip | 07:08 |
| wafflejock | DNS rather | 07:08 |
| cloudgeek | open a port using iptables ? in ubuntu | 07:08 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: yeah you use DHCP server to give out addresses | 07:08 |
| Linus | babinloston If you have that many machines that need to be public facing. You are in the wrong channel 2) You are useless | 07:08 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: or assign static IPs per machine | 07:08 |
| babinlonston | wafflejock: will u please then explain what the need of DNS server ? | 07:08 |
| wafflejock | DNS is just to resolve a name to an address | 07:08 |
| wafflejock | so say you wanted to name them labComputer1 labComputer2 etc. | 07:09 |
| xino77 | babin, DNS is domain name resolution. Get's the IP of google.com or ubuntu.org | 07:09 |
| wafflejock | you would need DNS so you can reference by name to get the IP | 07:09 |
| wafflejock | xino77: example is good | 07:09 |
| babinlonston | Linus: close your trap , you too came to know and no one know every think by knowing new things only we can learn step by step | 07:09 |
| wafflejock | nslookup google.com | 07:09 |
| cloudgeek | where I can find the config file for iptables on ubuntu | 07:09 |
| wafflejock | resolves to 173.194.46.78 | 07:09 |
| wafflejock | ns lookup utiltiy does DNS lookup so finds the IP from the name | 07:09 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: what you need is DHCP but all routers will do this basically | 07:10 |
| Linus | babinloston well said | 07:10 |
| babinlonston | wafflejock: you right i need to asign the name as system1 system2 likewise i need to assign for 20 computers in my lan | 07:10 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: okay if the goal is to have them by name then you are going to want to be messing with DNS | 07:10 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: but realize this doesn't affect the IPs | 07:10 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: it only resolves to them | 07:10 |
| Linus | babinloston what your asking depends on your router | 07:11 |
| xino77 | any one here know of a console command to check if all packages of a distro are installed correctly? | 07:11 |
| babinlonston | ok | 07:11 |
| wafflejock | your router basically is probably handling the DHCP if you're currently able to get online with multiple machines and haven't touched any of the router configuration yet | 07:11 |
| wafflejock | babinlonston: anything you do within the LAN won't be really visible from the outside without setting up port forwarding and having external authoritative DNS servers updated to reflect name changes but you should be able to configure your own internally | 07:12 |
| babinlonston | yes i have automatic ip assign from router , but i need to assign hostname as you said lab1 lab2 | 07:12 |
| babinlonston | ok | 07:13 |
| fishcooker | is there grub-md5-crypt comman on grub 2? | 07:13 |

| multivak | babinlonston: it seems to me you are gonna need ddns for that | 07:15 |
| wafflejock | Linus: I've thought about doing it at home before just for consistent name resolution | 07:16 |
| babinlonston | Linus: Don't need your help , many people's are here to help me | 07:16 |
| babinlonston | cloudgeek: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT | 07:16 |
| babinlonston | iptables-save > /etc/iptables.up.rules | 07:16 |
| Linus | wafflejock if your askig advice how to setup dns on a LAN I wouldnt use it as their are ways to spoof it. | 07:17 |
| babinlonston | cloudgeek: sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent | 07:17 |
| babinlonston | cloudgeek: sudo service iptables-persistent save | 07:17 |
| babinlonston | cloudgeek: sudo service iptables-persistent restart | 07:17 |
| Linus | the debian way of controlling iptables annoys me Red hat rule :) | 07:18 |
| babinlonston | cloudgeek: no need of restart upto save is enough | 07:18 |
| cloudgeek | babinlonston: thanks | 07:18 |
| wafflejock | Linus: nope wasn't really asking for advice though now I am a bit curious what do you mean about spoofing it? | 07:18 |
| wafflejock | Linus: I'm just saying so people within my LAN can use certain computer names for connecting to devices (I do web development stuff nice to be able to show people stuff on their devices without configuration) | 07:19 |
| Linus | wafflejock its about spoofing IP or UDP packets bitt to out of depth for ubuntu chst | 07:19 |
| babinlonston | Linus: Don't think yourself a Linus Torvalds | 07:20 |
| wafflejock | Linus: just don't see how spoofing would be relevant in a LAN situation | 07:20 |

| NGabi | Hi! I have a task in which I have change the permission of the owners for their home directories. Then I am told that the GID of the folders should be right set. What should I set the GID? | 08:17 |
| ripthejacker | If I have an unsolved problem about Ubuntu, where should I ask, askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org? | 08:19 |
| bazhang | ripthejacker, here and both of those | 08:19 |
| ripthejacker | bazhang: Ok thanks | 08:19 |
| helmut_ | hi | 08:20 |
| ripthejacker | I have a .desktop file, which when I try to run , fails silently. | 08:20 |
| ripthejacker | But when executing the 'Exec' entry from the command line, it works fine. | 08:21 |
| ripthejacker | And trying to open the .desktop with xdg-open opens the .desktop file in a text editor | 08:21 |
| you_ | hello! is it best to install Oracle JDK or JRE first ? | 08:23 |
| bazhang | http://askubuntu.com/questions/5172/running-a-desktop-file-in-the-terminal ripthejacker as detailed here? | 08:23 |
| you_ | *better | 08:23 |
| wilee-nilee | ripthejacker, can you right click then properties then navigate to the terminal in /usr/share/applications and have it open with it? | 08:25 |
| ripthejacker | bazhang: It's working that way, In short, the 'Exec' entry is not faulty | 08:25 |
| shadowflee | hey guys | 08:25 |
| ripthejacker | wilee-nilee: I cannot change the open with property of that file | 08:28 |
| ripthejacker | Actually It has no such property | 08:28 |
| wilee-nilee | ripthejacker, You had mentioned a text file openong thought maybe you could. | 08:30 |
| NGabi | What should a GID be when you change permissions for a folder? | 08:30 |
| ripthejacker | wilee-nilee: yes, by using xdg-open | 08:30 |
| ripthejacker | If i try to run that file in terminal directly , It parses the lines inside the file as shell commands. | 08:31 |
| juniour | hi how can i update my ruby ?? | 08:31 |

| BanjoFrail | I want to remove an custom installed font, but I just dont know how. I searched forums, but wihotu any solution that worked for me. Can someone help me? | 08:41 |
| wilee-nilee | yeyeman, The right click and tab area where you clicked the hide has a pressure adjuster to show it. | 08:41 |

| SMWim | as a skunk | 08:47 |
| SMWim | ufos are real | 08:47 |
| BanjoFrail | wilee-nilee: i want to replace the otf with ttf | 08:49 |

| multivak | SMWin: drunk on sunday? Really cool | 08:50 |
| SMWim | mondasy birtch | 08:50 |
| cortexA9 | hello, how to suggests an idea for ubuntu ? | 08:53 |
| SMWim | SUXK ME DICK | 08:53 |
| wilee-nilee | BanjoFrail, Out of my general area, all I can do is google, which I did and see various instructions, not sure whivh refer to exactly what would work for you. | 08:53 |
| cortexA9 | *suggest | 08:53 |
| wilee-nilee | which* | 08:54 |
| BanjoFrail | wilee-nilee: all instructions are about on specific folder where custom fonts are placed. but just not on my ubuntu | 08:55 |
| cortexA9 | hello, how to suggest an idea for ubuntu ?? | 08:56 |
| sharpnel | hello i was just wandering if is there any way to make ubuntu make every new file and folder created under my home directory with modes 0700? | 08:58 |
| cortexA9 | is it possible to make a Teamspeak server for Ubuntu ? like ts.ubuntu.com | 08:59 |
| uncle_ben | so i buy and install a geforce 6200 for an older system with dual boot xp and peppermint (an ubuntu derivative)...booting into xp i see a splash screen, then nothing...booting into peppermint, i see nothing...booting system rescue cd, i can boot into X normally...what's going on? | 09:00 |
| skebcio | how can I change the user postgresql is run as ? | 09:00 |
| geirha | sharpnel: put ''umask 077'' in your ~/.profile | 09:01 |
| wilee-nilee | uncle_ben, neither supported here, you want to find a peppermint forumor channel. | 09:01 |
| sharpnel | geirha, thank you. it works | 09:01 |
| geirha | sharpnel: Note that files are generally not created with execute bit set, so files will end up with 600 and directories with 700 with that umask | 09:01 |
| daron | hello all | 09:01 |
| sharpnel | geirha, it is fine for me i just donw want others to see them | 09:02 |
| wilee-nilee | uncle_ben, or ##windows if you are registered with freenode | 09:02 |
| sharpnel | i regulary run chomd -R 0700 * on my home folder but it has beign very anoying | 09:02 |
| geirha | sharpnel: Another way is to simply chmod 700 "$HOME" Then it doesn't matter what mode the files in your homedir has, since no one will be able to read or enter your homedir | 09:03 |
| uncle_ben | wilee-nilee, it's a simple hardware question...has nothing to do with the underlying OS although it seems to work with system-rescue-cd which is gentoo-based | 09:03 |
| sharpnel | yep :P | 09:03 |
| === bluedeep is now known as Guest66556 | ||
| uncle_ben | wilee-nilee, anyway, does it matter much? the channel is slow | 09:03 |
| geirha | sharpnel: chmod -R 0700 is a bad idea. That'll make all files executable; only files that are meant to be executable should be executable | 09:04 |
| wilee-nilee | uncle_ben, maybe ##hardware than, it is just a channel norm is all, nothing personal. | 09:04 |
| uncle_ben | wilee-nilee, already on that channel...anyway, i don't think you should stress about it so much | 09:04 |
| xmetal | uh | 09:05 |
| wilee-nilee | uncle_ben, Heh, I'm not. | 09:05 |
| uncle_ben | k | 09:05 |
| sharpnel | geirha, it is true but since i had no problems till now and i have alot of source codes and stuff it works fine for me to have them executable | 09:05 |
| === matic is now known as Guest83084 | ||

| excognac | ikonia: hi. the machine looks stable (i'm on it now) | 09:11 |
| BanjoFrail | in dotn understand, sry | 09:12 |
| cortexA9 | sry changed idea, is it possible to make a Mumble server ? | 09:12 |
| BanjoFrail | but you mean i can just install them without removing the old one? | 09:12 |
| excognac | ikonia: but it had 4 kdesomtehing screens up upőon boot, blank bléack windows | 09:12 |
| wilee-nilee | BanjoFrail, Yes, probably easier to see them from synaptic install it sudo apt-get install synaptic and what desktop are you using? | 09:14 |
| BanjoFrail | iam using ubuntu since 1 week, i understand absolut nothing what your asking me | 09:14 |
| wilee-nilee | BanjoFrail, Ah, thats okay synaptic is a package manager, the command is for the terminal. The desktop is what you guided user interface is to use the computer. | 09:16 |
| buu | Can anyone point me at an easy way to get a single package+deps from 'trusty' if I'm on 13.10? | 09:17 |
| wilee-nilee | !manual | BanjoFrail this might help | 09:17 |

| xx4h | "emits SOMETHING" in upstart can also be used for "stop on stopping SOMETHING" afterwards? | 09:18 |

| geirha | xx4h: For specifics about upstart, #upstart may be a better channel to ask | 09:21 |
| wilee-nilee | buu, you seen the broadcom wiki? | 09:22 |

| sajjad | is there anyone here? | 09:24 |
| buu | wilee-nilee: Oh, I have seen that. It doesn't really answer any of my questions. I need a more advanced version of the driver. | 09:25 |
| wilee-nilee | sajjad, why the -q | 09:25 |
| buu | So I either need to compile the broadcom one or get one from the next version of ubnutu | 09:25 |

| eutheria | i was wondering if there is a server like lync for linux | 09:42 |
| wilee-nilee | eutheria, what server there is a search in your irc app most likely. | 09:47 |
| wilee-nilee | I misread that sorry, never heard of lync | 09:48 |
| eutheria | wilee-nilee: lync is a ippbx, with im and video conferencing, | 09:49 |
| wilee-nilee | eutheria, If you are registered ##linux may have some users that would know, if you get no answers here. | 09:51 |

| moppy | eutheria, voip exchange server? | 10:03 |
| eutheria | moppy: and exchange runs on linux? | 10:04 |
| moppy | eutheria, they have pretty good video conferencing with hangouts: they use it internally themselves | 10:04 |
| Debolaz | Hmm.... I have a directory that's g+s www-data, but when I rsync into it, the files becomes owned by my own group. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I thought the setguid bit would force ownership to a specific group? | 10:04 |
| eutheria | moppy: i guess i should get out of the mentality of doing it all myself | 10:05 |
| moppy | eutheria, i dont know of any traditional server that would do it on linux, but you might see if redhat has somethng | 10:05 |
| moppy | eutheria, or ask ##linux | 10:05 |
| moppy | eutheria, or just use google apps, it does it or they couldnt do it themselves internally | 10:05 |
| k1l_ | zaq_: "/join #ubuntu-ru" to join that russian channel | 10:07 |
| eutheria | thanks moppy | 10:08 |

| moppy | Debolaz, they're a bit arcane, and hard to manage with large systems. But permissions are quite complex and i don't thnk there's an easy alternative. Remember it has to work for small and large systems | 10:11 |

| Fecondo | Hello! I got a problem: I try to compile a package (nginx) from sources but only usr/share/docs seem to be put into that package. Doesn't anybody know what can be a problem and where to look for a solution? | 10:12 |
| Debolaz | moppy: It shares the same problem as early java did: It's so simple that it doesn't really work well for anything, and the workarounds you have to go through as a result are incredibly complex. | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Fecondo: is there not a deb? | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !info nginx | 10:12 |
| caron_ | l | 10:12 |
| ubottu | nginx (source: nginx): small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.1-3ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 5 kB, installed size 90 kB | 10:12 |
| moppy | Fecondo, are you saying the sources only have the docs and not the code? | 10:13 |
| Debolaz | moppy: Today, I learnt that the setgid bit on directories is useless, because it can be overridden and hence doesn't guarantee anything. | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Fecondo: install using apt-get, why are you compiling? | 10:13 |
| Debolaz | moppy: And default behavior of rsync -avz is to override it. | 10:13 |
| Fecondo | moppy: I doubt it, there is also code, while compiling some .c files' names printing | 10:13 |
| moppy | i had to compile apache as i didnt like ubuntu's security options. i dont know what his use case is though | 10:13 |
| Fecondo | ActionParsnip: There is a deb with no binary executable (but exists in original package) | 10:14 |
| Fecondo | I'm getting sources by apt-get source nginx | 10:14 |
| === Terminator is now known as Guest29230 | ||
| moppy | Fecondo, is this a silly question, but how do you know it only builds the docs? did you check the paths, and do you on your system need sudo to install it? | 10:15 |
| sara_ | why when i have a network speed of 16.6289062 Mbps am i not able to streem a bbc radio programme via iplayer | 10:15 |
| moppy | Fecondo, oh i've not sed apt-get source: i have no idea what it does. can you get the code from their repo? | 10:15 |
| Fecondo | moppy: After installing I didn't found it in FS, so I opened .deb as an archive and didn't find an executable there also | 10:16 |
| Ben64 | Fecondo: you really should be using the repositories instead of compiling | 10:16 |
| moppy | not sure if there's supposed to be an executanle in a source deb.... just get the code form nginx's site/repo | 10:16 |
| Fecondo | Ben64: There is no way to install a module to nginx but compiling sources | 10:16 |
| Ben64 | then find a ppa with the configuration you like? or use a different server? | 10:18 |

| moppy | i don't understand that | 10:23 |
| moppy | Ben64, can you try to get them to PM him in russian? it might be the only way | 10:24 |
| Debolaz | Would it be possible to use some other mechanism other than parentdir setgid to ensure the content of a directory is always owned by a specific group? ACL or something? | 10:24 |
| Fecondo | Ben64: "trying to keep it updated" - that's quite simple by the way, just use configuration management systems | 10:25 |
| Ben64 | what? you'd need to recompile it for every bugfix | 10:25 |
| moppy | well it;s not hard once you done it once; make && make install, and go make coffee | 10:26 |
| Fecondo | Ben64: So what? You have to reinstall it for every bugfix. Difference just in minutes | 10:26 |
| moppy | s/you/you've | 10:26 |
| Ben64 | well look at all the trouble you're having doing it once | 10:26 |

| Fecondo | as Nginx is a candy and almost an unique instrument | 10:28 |
| moppy | i've no experience with nginx, it's supposed to be faster and lower memory footprint than apache, right? | 10:28 |

| ljunggren | Ben64, yes | 10:32 |
| moppy | ljunggren, i had this discussion about a month ago with another python dev about whether or not you want to localise error messages :-) | 10:32 |
| moppy | ljunggren, we never agreed! | 10:32 |
| ljunggren | moppy, i don't really know what you are talking about lol | 10:33 |
| moppy | ljunggren, is when you write a program and translate all the menus etc into another language (localisation). do you do the error messages? if you do, it good for the user, but you no-longer understand their bug reports | 10:33 |
| Ben64 | ljunggren: pastebin "ls -lad ~/.gnome2; ls -laR ~/.gnome2" | 10:33 |
| ljunggren | moppy, oh sorry | 10:34 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, http://pastebin.com/peL3jShv | 10:34 |
| moppy | if you dont the users cant fix it themselves. if you do, you cant fix it ;-) | 10:34 |
| ljunggren | it says | 10:34 |
| Ben64 | ljunggren: well theres your problem, stop running stuff with sudo! | 10:35 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, what am i running with sudo | 10:35 |
| ljunggren | :( | 10:35 |
| Ben64 | firefox i know for sure, but probably more | 10:35 |
| Ben64 | if you absolutely need to run a graphical app with root privileges, which should be extremely rare, use gksudo | 10:35 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, i have ran "sudo nautilus" for copying into themes, i have run "sudo steam" i think also.. but nothing else | 10:36 |
| Ben64 | yep, don't do those | 10:36 |
| ljunggren | Sorry | 10:36 |
| Jeroi | hello | 10:36 |
| ljunggren | i didn't know it was bad for me | 10:36 |
| ljunggren | will stop now | 10:36 |
| Jeroi | I have problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/370875/workspeace-view-shows-first-workspaces-out-of-border-at-left | 10:36 |
| ljunggren | but how can i fix this? | 10:36 |
| Ben64 | "gksudo nautilus" if you need, and you shouldn't need root for steam at all | 10:36 |
| marcx | hi, why is sudo bad? | 10:36 |
| Jeroi | Is there solution for this? | 10:36 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, it was giving me lot of headieachs | 10:36 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, i will never do it again swear! | 10:37 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, but is there a way to fix this easily? | 10:37 |
| Ben64 | "sudo chown -R ljunggren /home/ljunggren/.gnome2" | 10:37 |
| ljunggren | no! i wont sudo again! | 10:37 |
| ljunggren | lol j/k | 10:37 |
| Ben64 | sudo for command line apps, gksudo for graphical | 10:38 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, thank you thank you thank you! i was not aware of that | 10:38 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, gksudo gksudo. .. will tatoo that one | 10:38 |
| Ben64 | can actually prevent you from logging in under certain circumstances | 10:39 |
| ljunggren | Ben64, i think i have broken many ubuntu installs by NOT knowing this | 10:39 |
| ljunggren | because running lots os sudo nautilus etc | 10:39 |
| Ben64 | yeah they should make it more apparent | 10:39 |
| ljunggren | ive heard of gksudo but never bothered about it .. | 10:40 |
| ljunggren | i will carry on this message | 10:40 |
| Okitain | Ben64: I'm not in on what you're talking about, what is it? | 10:41 |
| Ben64 | Okitain: you should never use sudo for graphical applications | 10:42 |
| mojzesz | Hi all | 10:42 |
| Okitain | Ben64: I use gksu or kdesudo because X forwarding doesn't work otherwise, but what's the actual danger? | 10:42 |
| Ben64 | Okitain: root can end up owning critical files or directories in your home, preventing things from working as they should | 10:43 |
| Myrtti | Okitain: files in your home directory that govern how stuff works after you login into your desktop session might get wrong permissions and so loading the session fails | 10:43 |
| moppy | solution is to run as root obviously :-) *hides* | 10:43 |

| purezen | Hey guys..! I am a long-time Linux user.. mainly of Ubuntu.. though until now I used to do a fresh install whenever a new version of Ubuntu showed up.. Right now, I am using 13.04.. and want to upgrade it to 13.10.. If I do it from the software center in 13.04.. what all shall I loose/face issues compared to doing a fresh install..? Thanks..!! | 11:37 |

| Squarepy | purezen, f.i. if yyou run out of space | 11:40 |
| BluesKaj | purezen. in the terminal , sudo do-release-upgrade , then you can monitor the actual upgrade to 13.10 , but using the update manager works just as well, it's your choice | 11:41 |
| BluesKaj | purezen. you won't lose anything ..I didn't | 11:42 |
| purezen | Squarepy, BluesKaj : Hey..! No, space doesn't seem to be an issue..! I have aplenty..;-) Cool.. I will try do-release upgrade.. Only thing I am bothered with is that I have a lot of development stuff installed on my machine.. Ruby on Rails, Android etc.. I just dont want to run into issues with using that later.. | 11:43 |

NOW.. i want gedit, (or some other nice IDE i can work with C and gcc), but installing it from the software manager or whatever gives me some archaic version.. 2.x.. while one windoww it's 5.x atm. i followed instruction at | 12:18 |
| tortal | http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/Repositories#toc1 and added the saucy universe repo. now im getting some 3.x . So maybe there isn't even a 5.x ready in some repo. but im always perpexed to how apt-get makes it picks from the repo list. | 12:18 |
| MonkeyDust | tortal Saucy has gedit 3.8.3 | 12:20 |
| tortal | MonkeyDust: how do i get the latest then? and where can i probe for version numbers in apt-get ? the huge repo-list always perpexles me - i dont even know what saucy means | 12:21 |

| makara | hi. I'm looking for a simple file encryption tool to store passwords BUT it should just encryption the whole plain text collection of usernames, passwords, URLs, etc. I don't want to create hundreds of fields, and try to organise them, etc. Anything? | 13:14 |

| ActionPa1snip | kakakal: so you 'would like' it to work, there is a difference between that and 'need' | 13:14 |

| kakakal | MonkeyDust: i made a file named in the /etc/default/ | 13:14 |
| MonkeyDust | kakakal install prelink, first | 13:14 |
| reisio | makara: you could just put a text file in a 7z archive | 13:14 |

| reisio | kakakal: ask ap t-file | 13:15 |
| reisio | apt-file, even | 13:15 |
| makara | reisio, I thought of that, but then every time I want to see the passwords I would be creating a plain text field on disk, which I must remember to delete, etc. Not such a good way to do passwords. | 13:15 |

| starnix | ikonia, it checks for updates | 14:18 |
| ikonia | starnix: so it launches and behaves ok | 14:18 |
| ikonia | starnix: I assume it tells you, you are up to date ? | 14:18 |

| ikonia | starnix: you hit "upgrade" I assume ? | 14:19 |
| starnix | obviously. | 14:19 |

| siberiannerd | is that even possible? | 14:35 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: a user will have it's own home directory assigned, it may not be useable but it will have one | 14:37 |

| fztor | siberiannerd: give it a home directory | 14:38 |

| ikonia | siberiannerd: firstly you're trying to do this with a non-interactive user, and the home directory is /noneistent | 14:38 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, i still need a user to store ~/.config right? i need to run it from interactive user but with other user's permissions | 14:39 |

| fztor | siberiannerd: sometimes the application developers use $HOME or some other part, or fallback to the binary directory for storing files | 14:39 |

| fztor | siberiannerd: if it refuses to use something else than the users home dir, you have to create one | 14:39 |
| siberiannerd | got it | 14:39 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: it is possible with some apps, but seeing as the path to the path is hardcoded and there are only 3 flags for the command -help -version -webui-port no | 14:39 |
| siberiannerd | so it's not possible | 14:40 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, well at least maybe i could read about those shady possibilities you're talking about? any hints? | 14:40 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: what possibilities, I've just told you there are only 3 options for your application, and the config path is hardcoded | 14:41 |
| fztor | siberiannerd: what is that end-goal you mentioned? | 14:41 |
| siberiannerd | oh, sorry, but many thanks | 14:41 |
| siberiannerd | fztor, to run the app with nobody's permissions | 14:42 |
| Toasty27 | I'm having some trouble installing the QXL driver in an Ubuntu VM (12.04.3). I grabbed the xserver-xorg-video-qxl package for Raring since 12.04.3 installs xserver-xorg-core-lts-raring, so the ABI version matches, but dpkg complains that the version of xserver-xorg-core is not >= 2:1.12.99.901. Even though core-lts-raring provides 2:1.13.3 | 14:42 |
| Toasty27 | Has anyone else run into a problem like this? | 14:43 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: a work around would be to create a non-pirvileged user, with a locked password so it can't be used, set a valid home directory, lock the permissions on it, and then use "sudo" to run as that user, | 14:43 |

| joossee | Helsinkiii, ya cuz your email wont disappear unless you have set the client to do so,,,? | 15:42 |
| thomson112 | so an 8gb swap? | 15:42 |
| joossee | thomson112, no 4gb | 15:42 |
| auronandace | thomson112: no, just needs to be bigger than ram (2x would be a waste) | 15:42 |
| thomson112 | ok | 15:42 |

| padrino | I tried to just the general #linux channel but it wouldn't allow me to type so I have a question I'm going to post here. I'm thinking of buying the Android mini PC or the Pi, what'd be the best distro to run on it considering Ubuntu is a little slow because of the processor? | 16:17 |
| CatKiller | padrino: Ubuntu | 16:18 |
| ikonia | padrino: not really appropriate for this channel, try registering on Freenode, and then asking in ##linux | 16:18 |
| auronandace | padrino: you need a registered nick to talk on ##linux | 16:18 |
| ikonia | CatKiller: that's just silly advice, as ubuntu doesn't run on the pi | 16:18 |

| pune | hi, i'm using kubuntu 13.10 x64. up until today, multiarch was working and i was able to run 32bit programs on the 64bit OS. then the updater came along and crapped on something and broke the multiarch support. | 16:19 |
| CatKiller | ikonia: That's a surprise for me, the Marvel boards work fine | 16:19 |
| pune | dose anybody happen to know what i should install to fix multiarch support? | 16:20 |
| tacotruck123 | ikonia: so how do I mount fuse as root? | 16:20 |
| CatKiller | ikonia: A quick google search confirms what you're saying. I'd say they should probably dedicate some ressources to make it work there, there's some potential | 16:20 |
| kakakal | xangua: i don't have any problem with chat, i am looking for video calling other than skype and google hangout | 16:20 |
| ikonia | tacotruck123: the root account is locked, so it's not really the intended approach | 16:20 |
| tacotruck123 | So how else do I get read access to copy files over from external drive to network drive? | 16:21 |
| auronandace | kakakal: jitsi? | 16:21 |
| kakakal | auronandace: what is it? jitsi | 16:22 |
| auronandace | kakakal: an alternative to skype | 16:22 |
| ikonia | tacotruck123: what file system is on the external drive ? | 16:23 |
| kakakal | auronandace: no, never tried, hearing first time from you, how good it is, what about call quality on slow internet connections | 16:23 |
| auronandace | kakakal: i've never used it, i'm just aware of it (it uses java if thats an issue for you) | 16:24 |
| kakakal | no, i am using skype for linux, it is working okay, but UI is not that good as compared with windows | 16:25 |
| tacotruck123 | ikonia: according to this ubuntu live cd it is cifs | 16:25 |
| tacotruck123 | but to mount it I just used the connect to sever and chose smb share and typed username and password. | 16:25 |
| ikonia | tacotruck123: nah, the external drive would not be mounted on cifs - cifs is network file systems | 16:26 |
| ikonia | tacotruck123: that's not an extenral drive, that's a network share | 16:26 |
| ZeThomas | hey, i'm trying to get bumblebee and the nvidia drivers running on my laptop, but at the suggestion to run nvidia-xconfig, this file seems nowhere to be found? I tried with installing (sequentially) nvidia-current, nvidia-current-upgrade, and nvidia-319-updates | 16:26 |
| tacotruck123 | The external drive is vlm2 | 16:26 |
| tacotruck123 | Think it may come from a redhat box..not sure. | 16:27 |
| CatKiller | tacotruck123: lvm2 is not a filesystem | 16:28 |
| ikonia | tacotruck123: what you are saying doesn't make sense, it's either an extenral drive you plug into your computer, or it's on a network | 16:28 |
| ikonia | tacotruck123: which is it | 16:28 |

| Semajnad | bekks: But lets say the owner is root, and the group ownership is thenetwork, doesn't it need to be say rwxrwxr-- so the group can r w and x | 17:27 |
| bekks | andry: without a good reason, you dont all users being able to modify your files. | 17:27 |
| GeorgesLeYeti | I have a problem i wanna rename my user account so i used this tutorial: http://www.unixmen.com/how-rename-change-user-name-linux/ | 17:28 |
| GeorgesLeYeti | It seems to works | 17:28 |
| andry | bekks .. i was just pointing out how to chmod all files, not recursive, no folders | 17:28 |
| bekks | Semajnad: No. For files, you only need 0664 then, and not 0774. | 17:28 |
| lonewulf85 | well the login screen wallpaper. I want to change it and I am unsure about the res I think it is 468X800 or something small. | 17:28 |
| Semajnad | isn't 6 only r + w? | 17:28 |
| bekks | andry: You were pointing out on how to make all files modifiable by everyone. | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lonewulf85: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64001/how-do-i-change-the-wallpaper-in-lightdm | 17:28 |
| GeorgesLeYeti | but then i try to reinstall rvm with curl ... | 17:28 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | hello | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Semajnad: yes r + w = 6 | 17:28 |
| bekks | Semajnad: Sure. You dont need x on files, unless they are executables. | 17:28 |
| andry | bekks, again, i was pointing out how to chmod all files, no folders, recursive .. this was an example | 17:29 |
| andry | 777 as place-holder | 17:29 |
| andry | okay? | 17:29 |
| lonewulf85 | ActionParsnip, Thanks and cool name although I dislike parsnips :) | 17:29 |
| Semajnad | bekks: Yes they are, so my question is, if the ownership of the folder usr001 is root:thenetwork, and I need thenetwork to have rwx permissions, what chmod command can I use to change all files in usr001 to rwxrwxr-- | 17:29 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | im having an issue with nautilus (at least i think it is nautilus) im not getting it to display applications when i select properties and then open with | 17:29 |

| bekks | Semajnad: The command for doing it on all files was already given. | 17:31 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | semajnad: just do chmod 775 * | 17:31 |

| bekks | ubuntuuserhappy: That will catch all directories too, which is unwanted. | 17:32 |
| bekks | Semajnad: Do not do that. | 17:32 |
| Semajnad | bekks: I can't see where it was given, unless I'm missing it. | 17:32 |
| rypervenche | Semajnad: You should do a find command like... | 17:32 |

| rypervenche | Semajnad: find . -mindepth 1 -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \; | 17:32 |
| Semajnad | rypervenche: And i run that in the folder I want to change all the files to? | 17:32 |
| rypervenche | Semajnad: Make sure you're cd'ed into the correct directory though. | 17:32 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | semajnad: if you dont want dirrectories to change use the one from ryper | 17:32 |
| Semajnad | rypervenche: , ubuntuuserhappy , bekks Thank you very much. | 17:33 |

| xangua | hi everyone, after I upgraded ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 my bluetooth dongle stop being recognized; any suggestion on this issue¿ | 18:59 |
| joossee | 1 bitcoin sez googleknows | 18:59 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Is it somekind of security in Router to automaticly block Linux and Ubuntu devices? This is very weird also, because this block only happens sometimes and if you restart router it freeze the wifi name detection etc. | 18:59 |
| BluesKaj | 18:59 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 18:59 |
| BluesKaj | joossee.^ | 18:59 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: The router system log doesnt help. | 18:59 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | joossee: you want to see if you can google my problem? | 19:00 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Usually this happens ONLY if Transmission start a download, then it kind of get blocked by router and screw around with the network. Sometimes all devices get blocked, but usually only Ubuntu device. | 19:00 |
| joossee | ubuntuuserhappy, http://askubuntu.com/questions/66524/why-cant-i-make-a-file-association-in-nautilus | 19:00 |
| joossee | ubuntuuserhappy, GOOGLE sez us PCmanFM or install tweak | 19:01 |
| xangua | Oxymoron: only if transmission is open¿ maybe too many petitions¿ | 19:01 |
| joossee | ubuntuuserhappy, usePCmanFm to set the associations then switch back to nautilus.. or just install tweak | 19:01 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, what xangua said | 19:02 |
| Oxymoron | xanguam, joossee: whats petitions? | 19:02 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, if i remember correctly, windows can use way less open tcp connections then ubuntu so you are likely activaiting a security trigger in your rotuer | 19:02 |
| semajnad_ | Does anyone know what this message means in vi when doing :wq " Cannot write viminfo file /home/thenetworkadmin/.viminfo!" | 19:03 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, your router will have some anti flooding parameters setup which may be triggered by ubuntus speed. (simple answer) | 19:03 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Which mean Ubuntu is opening up too many TCP connections? :S | 19:03 |
| joossee | Semajnad, use sudo before launching vmi | 19:03 |
| joossee | vim | 19:03 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, "too many" is a relative term. morelikelyyour isp hates torrent traffic | 19:04 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Alright, techiniquans on ISP suck ashole then. They said they didnt have that kind of security in the router. | 19:04 |
| joossee | Semajnad, u probablydont have write permissions on the file | 19:04 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: I explicity asked ISP about that, and they said NOT limits. | 19:04 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: I presume the CIO didnt tell them or something .... | 19:05 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, honestlybro, ditch the ISP's router and get yourselfan ASUS 66N andput tomato on it... a$150 router just became a $3000 switch | 19:05 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Well yes, I have my own Netgear DualBand Gigabit router, BUT problem is that it doesnt support 4g. I dont have fiber. | 19:06 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, if the router is necessary for whatever reason, just plud a new routerintothe isp router and DMZ it, then use your router for all security | 19:06 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Which would explain why they have built in flood protection in 4G router. | 19:06 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Dual plug two routers? :S | 19:06 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, yes exactly... the fact that your are using a cellular connection certainlywont help thruput wise | 19:06 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, more like serial plug, but yes | 19:07 |
| Oxymoron | Isnt that very slow to have two routers? :D | 19:07 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| joossee | Oxymoron, not atall... | 19:07 |
| GZA-Genius | Oxymoron: nope | 19:07 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, i mean are you getting more than 100mbps off your 4g connection? i doubt it! | 19:07 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: No I do not, but I do not understand why it shouldnt be slower latency if you let network traffic pass through 2 routers instead of one? | 19:08 |
| npc_ | Hi, how i can create backup on ubuntu server ? | 19:08 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, do you have any idea howmany routers your netflix packet goes thru beforehittingyours? 1 or10morein the chain wontmatter | 19:09 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, the typeof latency your describing is sosmall in a commercial internet access context as to be irrelevant | 19:10 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Well hehe, a lot :P But my point is, two gateways through is more likely it cause some kind of error then one gateway? | 19:10 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, once you get on google fiber we can talk, but even then its just a matter of getting gigabit routers instead of 100mbit | 19:10 |
| moondog | but isn't NAT on NAT bad? | 19:11 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Google Fiber? | 19:11 |
| joossee | moondog, no NAT, just DMZ | 19:11 |
| moondog | probably can't turn off NAT on the ISP router | 19:11 |
| joossee | moondog, onlybecomes a problem for inbound connections | 19:11 |
| joossee | moondog, and even that is just a matter of sorting your routing tables | 19:12 |
| moondog | k, just curious | 19:12 |
| Oxymoron | moondog: I can switch to bridgemode instead of NAT, which is DMZ I think, joossee? | 19:12 |
| sirronb | I need help. Grub is not showing my windoze installation anymore. I need to get my Windoze installation going. Please!!! | 19:12 |
| moondog | bridge mode would be nice | 19:12 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, yes tHAT SHOULD WORK | 19:13 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: So my issue is torrent teqnique "flood" my router with too many TCP connection, which is more than Windows can handle. In other ways, Ubuntu can handle more connections then my router, but Windows do not and never trigger anything. | 19:13 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, im still confused though.. i thought everything was working now? | 19:14 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, if youre question is "are tech supportpeoplechumps?"the answer is yes | 19:14 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Yes, at the moment. Not sure if the setting I added is permanently, it just added my current IP to know computers in firewall of router. | 19:15 |
| joossee | Oxymoron, in both windows and ubuntu the machine is using DHCP yes? | 19:15 |
| mmazing | i'm trying to get better popup notifications for skype, after receiving a message nothing flashes etc with unity so if i don't see the initial notification, i don't notice the message until later - skype can run a command when a message is received, i'm just not sure what to use | 19:15 |

| joossee | then here is why u had problem: you prolly boot into ubuntu before DHCP has released the IP your windows os was using? ergo firewall gets confused... again 100's of possible reasons | 19:16 |

| joossee | IsmAvatar, hell be back | 19:21 |
| Oxymoron | joossee: Yes I know how to use wireshark, however its quite hard to filter this issue I am having. Even if I filter to tcp, its A LOT of traffic. | 19:22 |

| CodeOmegaPrime | I am running Ubuntu 13.04 and have the gnome3-team PPAs installed. My mouse keeps freezing randomly for 1 - 20 secs and then resuming. I have searched launchpad and have found a reference to the PPAs causing this behavior however this makes little sense to me as the PPA is not even used unless I am accessing its software through aptitude or synaptic package manager unless I am not understanding something properly. Has anyone | 19:24 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | else experienced this issue? | 19:24 |
| MonkeyDust | CodeOmegaPrime why do you use the PPA's? | 19:26 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

| CodeOmegaPrime | xangua that was my next step but was seeing first if anyone had experienced the same behavior. Only dumb question is an unasked one.

| lmat | bekks: hmmm...I'm the server admin. Is public key more secure ? | 19:36 |
| bekks | lmat: Yes, it is. | 19:36 |
| mirak | genii, if youy have an home theater computer, then changes are that it's connected to a HDTV, wich all support 24hz, and every modern monitor support 24hz as well to play bluray movies. | 19:36 |
| lmat | bekks: The password isn't written down anywhere, but the private key is on his hard drive. In what way is it more secure (besides brute force attacks) ? | 19:37 |
| Semajnad | CodeOmegaPrime: networkadmin is the home directory of networkadmin by using useradd -d /home/networkadmin -m networkaadmin | 19:37 |
| Semajnad | But it's saying it's owned by root:root and everything inside it even though I made it all while logged in as networkadmin | 19:37 |
| jamin | I've got a W530 that was working fairly well under 13.04 with the nvidia graphics in discrete mode. After upgrading to 13.10, I find that unless I'm connected to AC the driver refuses to acknowledge my GPU, anyone else seen this? | 19:37 |
| genii | mirak: Most modern monitors begin at refresh rates of 60Hz and progress from there upwards. | 19:37 |

| Linuxuser10000 | so what should i do to fix my tiem | 19:38 |
| kostkon | genii, he talks about vsync i guess | 19:38 |
| Linuxuser10000 | *time | 19:38 |
| bekks | lmat: The key is far more complex. And in addition, the key itself can be protected by the nowhere-written-down password. So an attacker would both need the secret password of the key (which you as the admin will never get) and the complex key to authenticate. | 19:38 |
| Oxymoron | I would like to know, is it possible to fix automaticly switch screen/audio to external, when plugin HDMI? | 19:38 |

| kostkon | genii, actually it's about syncing fps with the refresh rate or i guess even the opposite is possible | 19:39 |
| mirak | kostkon, no i am talking about refresh rate. The OS doesn't care if the TV works at 200hz internally, it just care about the reported refresh rates availables, wich 24hz is part of. | 19:39 |
| lmat | bekks: With public key authentication, the way to log in from different devices is to copy the private key to those devices, right ? | 19:39 |
| mirak | genii, NO YOU ARE WRONG | 19:40 |
| Semajnad | thenetworkadmin can create folders inside his home directory but anything deeper down the folder tree gets given perms of root:root even though thenetworkadmin makes it | 19:40 |
| mirak | genii, you just don't know what you are talking about | 19:40 |
| Semajnad | CodeOmegaPrime: | 19:40 |
| bekks | lmat: No, no, no. The privat key always stays private. The public key component is copied to the server, and when login in, the user has to enter his secret password to unlock the secret key, which is then used to authenticate against his public key. | 19:41 |
| Linuxuser10000 | !patience | 19:41 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 19:41 |
| bekks | lmat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys | 19:41 |
| lmat | bekks: Right, so the private key is on his computer (A). When he is using a different computer (B), he needs to copy the private key from A to B in order to login to the server (C), right ? | 19:41 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Semajnad ? | 19:42 |
| Semajnad | CodeOmegaPrime: Ah, hold on I think I got it. :P | 19:43 |
| bekks | lmat: No. :) The user can create as many secret/public key pairs, and is just required to provide you (as the admin for being able to initially enter them to "/home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys") those public keys. | 19:43 |
| lmat | bekks: AH. So he can create more than one private key for one public key ? Or he would send me another public key (for his other computer, B)? | 19:44 |
| jamin | if I boot the laptop on battery only, I get the following in Xorg.0.log: | 19:44 |

| tozen | hi all! ubuntu 12.10 has been updated till 13.04 as result got a problem with Shift+Prt Sc and Alt+Prt Sc combinations... login onto guest all works fine... so any ideas of what config file need to be deleted, please. thx | 20:12 |

| hitsujiTMO | jamin: can you file a bug report. I haven't been able to find any info as regards what the cause could be. | 20:12 |
| lmat | okay, this time the client said "Enter passphrase for key './stevesprivate':". I did, then it asked me for steve's password at the server. | 20:12 |
| lmat | So the server isn't authenticating properly :( | 20:13 |
| jamin | hitsujiTMO: will do... right now I have two theories... it's either the nvidia module doing something on load or the newer Linux kernel | 20:13 |
| jamin | the 3.8 kernel doesn't have the module built for it and I don't currently have the headers installed for it, so I'm going to get those and build the module for it | 20:13 |

| [Gentoo] | _JuJuBee: where do you store all this info? | 20:49 |
| XLV | i noticed that when i use eg unetbootin or universal usb installer, the install media has less boot options than the burned to cd same iso | 20:49 |
| XLV | eg the expert boot option which allows text boot and install for ubuntu server is missing, and others | 20:50 |
| _JuJuBee | [Gentoo]: noplace that I store it has all of it. I am thinking a bank got hacked since all of this information is used for a mortgage application and we recently purchased a home | 20:50 |

| HisaoNakai | XLV: It seems you want to talk to hitsujiTMO , not me :p | 20:53 |
| MonkeyDust | Ubuntivity i guess #winehq would be a better place to ask | 20:53 |
| reisio | it's not great that a person would have this information, but it's not like they would have had to infiltrate your OS to get it | 20:53 |
| kostkon | killer, or maybe not, if they already support click packages. not sure, read the guides on that page | 20:53 |
| [Gentoo] | Ubuntivity: dont think so | 20:53 |
| _JuJuBee | reisio: [Gentoo]: I don't write checks from the accounts listed (only 1) so where would they get those account #'s? | 20:53 |
| reisio | _JuJuBee: a question worth asking | 20:54 |
| reisio | but you can't really do that much to a person with their bank account number | 20:54 |
| Ubuntivity | thanks MonkeyDust, [Gentoo] | 20:54 |
| reisio | not that anyone else couldn't do, anyways | 20:54 |
| XLV | hitsujiTMO you mean the OS that the writing of the iso to usb is done? i suppose you propose dd the iso to usb? | 20:54 |
| [Gentoo] | im no wine expert but im pretty sure it cant go outside... actually i think it depends what drives are set in the wine options | 20:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | XLV: what OS are you on now and what iso do you want to burn | 20:54 |
| XLV | HisaoNakai sorry dude. they all seem greek to me | 20:54 |
| XLV | hitsujiTMO ubuntu 13.10 server 64bit, and a windows computer used | 20:54 |
| killer | kostkon: source package? | 20:54 |
| _JuJuBee | reisio: I realize that, just taking precautionary steps | 20:54 |
| kostkon | killer, nvm about that, read the guides at http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/ | 20:55 |
| [Gentoo] | Ubuntivity: but wine is generally run as a unpriv user so it shouldnt be able to go anywhere near root system files | 20:55 |
| reisio | _JuJuBee: well don't waste your time on data that any random joe can get on you | 20:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | XLV: dd is your only option. No tools have special support for 13.10 yet, so it defaults to a generic menu | 20:55 |
| reisio | _JuJuBee: but obviously if you can recall who you've _volunteered_ that information to recently, you can maybe inform the authorities that that person is trying to shake people down | 20:56 |

| reisio | then I'd report to the authorities the institution you gave the information to | 21:04 |

| chimeracoder | oh | 21:09 |
| roscogruen | ok. it gives info but this is all greek to me | 21:10 |
| [Gentoo] | the command md5sum might be useful | 21:10 |
| roscogruen | i tried that. terminal doesn't reply with anything. not even a prompt | 21:11 |
| zykotick9 | roscogruen: i've never heard of someone checking the md5 of a USB before?!? you "might" try md5sum'ing the device, or mount point... but i'm not sure either will work? good luck. | 21:11 |

| chimeracoder | actually, it's not problems connecting (that usually works) - it's that I get disconnected, and can't reconnect without restarting | 21:12 |
| roscogruen | zykotick9: the mdsum checked out before i put it on the stick. should it be good then? | 21:12 |

| zykotick9 | roscogruen: i'd assume so, or on boot isn't there a "verify this media" option? | 21:13 |
| roscogruen | isn't md5sum just a set of numbers. like a long serial number? | 21:13 |

| Pici | killer: Can you provide a link as to what exactly you are referring to? | 21:17 |

| PDilyard | oops sorry for double post | 21:21 |
| Pici | killer: Likely the source code for your application, if you choose to distribute it. I suspect that #ubuntu-app-devel might be able to provide more information. | 21:22 |

| kostkon | iwo, oh we are talking about the icon theme ok... | 21:52 |
| xangua | msassak: automatically accept a licence agreement withoud 'reading it' doesn't sounds good | 21:53 |
| lorundrik | lmat, correct | 21:53 |
| iwo | and probably other parts of the UI that are 'Mono' the theme, not mono the .Net framework | 21:53 |

| lmat | little_shira: apt-cache search mate ? | 21:58 |

| k1l | hitsujiTMO: right, just did a look at the error lines | 22:25 |
| k1l | techlord: see the paste you gave us :) | 22:25 |
| === peter is now known as Guest48328 | ||
| wafflejock | techlord: depends on the editor, usually shows line number in a status bar at the bottom if not showing line numbers | 22:26 |
| techlord | Yes I am looking at the gedit as well as the paste :) | 22:26 |
| kostkon | techlord, because i am not sure about the state of gksudo, give in the terminal: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list, scroll down and delete those lines, then press CTRL+X and then 'Y'. | 22:26 |
| techlord | I am using the default for ubuntu | 22:26 |
| cyberhack | hey people can tell me something? | 22:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | techlord: sudo sed -i 's/deb http:\/\/archive.canonical.com\/ partner//' /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:26 |
| k1l | techlord: see kostkons advice. it will remove the lines | 22:26 |
| cyberhack | ?? | 22:27 |
| cyberhack | ? | 22:27 |
| wafflejock | techlord: using kubuntu here don't have gedit to check, not sure if it has the option but I imagine it might, geany definitely does, and I mostly use sublime for development stuff which also definitely does | 22:27 |
| s5fs | I'm running stock 12.04, can anyone recommend a simple, drop-in tiling wm? i mostly work in terminals and want them to auto-layout, basically. | 22:27 |
| k1l | !details | cyberhack | 22:27 |
| ubottu | cyberhack: 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 ..." | 22:27 |
| cyberhack | i have 1 problem | 22:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | techlord: also: sudo sed -i 's/deb-src http:\/\/archive.canonical.com\/ partner//' /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:27 |
| cyberhack | i have the problem with virtual machine and wmware | 22:28 |
| techlord | Ok I am running you line from above for the sudo nano | 22:28 |
| k1l | wafflejock: gedit can do this too. but i think we should focus on the problem first and then go for the bonus :) | 22:28 |

| Dresk|Laptop | Hey, I'm Googling this as well, I'm getting some old threads, but what's the proper way to do an Ubuntu update, say from 13.04 to 13.10? The best thread I've found so far is from 2009, advising apt-get install update-manager-core and do-release-upgrade | 22:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dresk|Laptop: yup still the same | 22:29 |
| OerHeks | Dresk|Laptop, 'sudo do-release-upgrade" will do | 22:29 |
| k1l | Dresk|Laptop: you can run that from gui. or in terminal with do-release-upgrade | 22:29 |
| Dresk|Laptop | hitsujiTMO / OerHeks / k1l : Thanks guys, trying it out now | 22:30 |
| k1l | Dresk|Laptop: "update-manager" is the gui version | 22:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dresk|Laptop: well actually the propper way is to backup, then sudo do-release-upgrade | 22:30 |
| jhutchins_wk | Dresk|Laptop: DANGER WILL ROBINSON! MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! | 22:30 |
| Dresk|Laptop | Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 22:30 |

| Jordan_U | Obscene_CNN: Don't run random commands that you don't understand. Always try to understand what the command is doing before you run it, and if you can't do that at least get confirmation from multiple people (who you are reasonably sure aren't colluting) that it's a safe command. | 22:48 |

| hitsujiTMO | s5fs: dwm | 22:54 |

| hitsujiTMO | TheLordOfTime: remove the opera repos | 22:55 |
| compdoc | rhagu, looks fine: Reallocated_Sector_Ct, G-Sense_Error_Rate, Reallocated_Event_Count, Current_Pending_Sector , and Offline_Uncorrectable are all zero | 22:55 |
| s5fs | hitsujiTMO: okay i'll give it a look | 22:55 |
| k1l | TheLordOfTime: PPAs repos should be deactivated while upgrading anyway | 22:55 |

| rhagu | compdoc I am just curious where these two come frome especially because their timestamp is 0hours | 22:56 |
| Jordan_U | s5fs: Why do you want a tiling window manager? | 22:57 |
| k1l | TheLordOfTime: if that still causes error, because its checking that repos you need to disable that. | 22:57 |
| deper29 | s5fs: I see. I've never used dwm myself, so I can't speak for it. Of the window managers I've used most of them seem to require some configuration | 22:57 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO: Ok, 12.04 or 3.10? | 22:57 |
| rhagu | jhutchins_wk I will have a look at them, it is not too serious right now, because they are in a raidz2 setup, but what do you mean with "but it does not that you've never run a test"? | 22:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | s5fs: This should remind us that the timestamp is just another series of binary digits. | 22:58 |
| krabador | i need to know where i can look logs for wireless disconnections | 22:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | rhagu: You've never used one of the self-tests available in smartctl. | 22:58 |
| s5fs | Jordan_U: i work mostly in terminals and am sick of laying them out by hand | 22:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | rhagu: You don't have any scheduled tests (probably not necessary). There are no stored results. | 22:58 |
| zykotick9 | deper29: i believe awaesome is based off of dwm (but i think most tiling wms are...) | 22:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: 12.04 if you want absolute stability. 13.10 if you want the latest of everything possible. | 22:58 |
| rhagu | jhutchins_wk what is the difference between running a self test and looking at the results of smartctl -all ? | 22:59 |

| s5fs | I'll give awesome and dwm a look, thanks everyone! | 23:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | s5fs: dwm and awesome are both good for keyboard only setups. however i recently switched to openbox (not a tiling window manager) as the configs in it allow for far superior keyboard shourcuts and tools | 23:01 |
| krabador | i've wifi disconnection, many times , how can i look logs? | 23:02 |
| krabador | ubuntu 13.10 | 23:02 |
| moondog | hitsujiTMO: so if you run openbox on ubuntu... what is your initial install like... you just do a regular install and ignore unity? | 23:03 |
| moondog | or is there some sort of minimal install media? | 23:04 |
| deper29 | !minimal | moondog | 23:04 |
| ubottu | moondog: 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 | 23:04 |
| moondog | thank you :) | 23:04 |
| deper29 | you bet | 23:04 |
| gimpygoo | How are you all doing today ? | 23:04 |
| moondog | so that's the thing if you don't want to use a pre-selected DE than? | 23:05 |
| moondog | then.... | 23:05 |
| wafflejock | moondog: if you want ubuntu/debian base yes | 23:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | moondog: debootstrap install | 23:05 |
| wafflejock | moondog: lots of people go archlinux if they want to start very raw I believe | 23:06 |
| gimpygoo | Anyone have a suggestion for a different window manager other then the one that ships with regular ubuntu ? | 23:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | k1l: yeah i'll disable the repo for now, check back in a couple weeks or smth | 23:06 |
| gimpygoo | One that would be a good learning experience to install as well. | 23:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | moondog: can also be done with ubuntu server as a base | 23:06 |
| k1l | TheLordOfTime: check the opera community if there were changes or other news | 23:07 |

| niee | Hi folks :)) Any one to help me pls? I have a problem to my Google Chrome browser after try to play Video Clip in youtube (ubuntu 11.04). The sound is "stuttering". Any ideas how to fix this problem? | 23:08 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| gimpygoo | This comp is not handling compiz horribly... but I think that it could be doing better. | 23:09 |
| gimpygoo | with what Ive heard about linux running better on older hardware I am a bit underwhelmed to be honest. | 23:09 |
| gimpygoo | It is majorly slow sometimes. | 23:09 |
| deper29 | gimpygoo: tbh, it depends on the distro but I find it depends a lot on the desktop manager. | 23:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | gimpygoo: xfce is a good start. just install xubuntu. or lxde if you need something lighter (lubuntu). after that you want to start looking at something lighter again, openbox or fluxbox | 23:10 |
| gimpygoo | Now, that could be me ( prob is) but Im trying to optimize the system. My lack of experience on linux def plays a part I would think . | 23:10 |
| deper29 | If you're trying to run the latest ubuntu with unity and everything on old hardware: don't | 23:10 |
| gimpygoo | im on 12.04 . | 23:10 |
| gimpygoo | So not THE latest. | 23:10 |
| deper29 | and what hitsujiTMO said. Try something like xfce or lxde | 23:10 |
| gimpygoo | xfce , lxde... Could you extrapolate the differences quickly ? Or is that better something I read about ? | 23:11 |

| gimpygoo | Is it an easy process switching them out ? | 23:11 |
| ZeThomas | gimpygoo, some lighter distros are, in order of lightness: crunchbang, lubuntu, xubuntu | 23:11 |
| deper29 | yeah | 23:11 |
| gimpygoo | Ive never tried a different windows system . | 23:12 |
| deper29 | I don't know the command off hand, but I imagine it's sudo apt-get install lxde or something | 23:12 |

| hitsujiTMO | xfce is heavier than lxde, but still a lot lighter than unity/gnome. lxde is missing a bit from being a total DE. best way to install either is to install from their official distros : xubuntu or lubuntu | 23:13 |
| deper29 | hitsujiTMO: it shouldn't make a difference installing from repos or installing their distro should it? | 23:14 |
| Rory | deper29: the "lubuntu-desktop" package includes a lot more than just lxde | 23:14 |
| deper29 | that's fair | 23:14 |
| lvl1rogue | wafflejock, I've tried the link you gave for changing the login shell but none of the methods work. Does this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1932504) seem like a reasonable method to get my default shell to be bash? | 23:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | deper29: you'll have a small bit of an extra bloat installing from repos (background services that may not be needed, heavier login manager) | 23:15 |
| deper29 | I guess. but you can disable the background services too | 23:15 |
| deper29 | mind you, I don't expect that from a beginner | 23:15 |
| wafflejock | lvl1rogue: may work not sure if there are any caveats to setting up a symbolic link for the shell | 23:15 |
| wafflejock | lvl1rogue: did you log out an in after the .profile changes and .login changes | 23:16 |
| wafflejock | lvl1rogue: if not you wouldn't have seen any effect | 23:16 |
| lvl1rogue | wafflejock, yes and no. I do not have a .login file in my home directory. | 23:16 |
| UrielVigilant | its a good idea install ubuntu restricted extras on ubuntu 13.10 ? | 23:16 |
| lvl1rogue | wafflejock, I do have a .k5login if that helps? | 23:17 |
| lvl1rogue | wafflejock, I think that points to the authentication server | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | lvl1rogue: If this is really the university's default I would talk to the sysadmin, as it's silly. | 23:17 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: It's a good idea if you need it. It isn't a *bad* idea and won't break things | 23:17 |
| cpined | hello I have a flash issue...a while back I lost the ability to watch youtube videos after upgrading my OS...the solution was to insall Nvidia drivers and that worked, although I don't have a Nvidia driver I have an Integrated driver from Intel. I modified the xorg.conf( I think that is what it is called) and now it behaves like it used to. The video appears small and with pink,blue tints. How can I get it to work properly w | 23:17 |
| cpined | ith my real card? | 23:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | lvl1rogue: usermod -s /bin/bash useraccount | 23:17 |
| cpined | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) | 23:17 |
| Rory | cpined: What version of Ubuntu are you using, and what web browser? | 23:18 |
| cpined | that is my card | 23:18 |
| wafflejock | hitsujiTMO: account is apparently on university computer system so he can't just change the shell. tried chsh already | 23:18 |
| cpined | Kubuntu 13.10...chrome or firefox | 23:18 |
| KillBiebs | Question, I have been trying to apply a patch to Chrome for the first time ever (never patched before) and keep getting an error message that it cannot find file to patch at input line 3. I am typing sudo patch -p162 screen_gtk.patch. Here's the patch file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6361661/ Any suggestions? :) | 23:19 |
| wafflejock | lvl1rogue: yeah don't think the .k5login will help, as Jordan_U said this might be something to contact the university tech department about and see what the reasoning is and if they can offer an "official" solution for you | 23:19 |
| Rory | cpined: Can you try installing the package "flashplugin-installer" | 23:19 |
| cpined | sudo apt-get install ? | 23:19 |
| lvl1rogue | wafflejock, hitsujiTMO, thanks for the help... I'll ask the system admins | 23:20 |
| cpined | rory:flashplugin-installer is already the newest version. | 23:20 |
| UrielVigilant | Rory: but when i try to install restrited extras on ubuntu 13.10 it says i must remove first libavutil51 and libavcodec53 | 23:21 |
| UrielVigilant | Rory: this is a bad thing ? | 23:22 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: How did you install those packages? Are you using any third-party repositories (PPAs)? | 23:22 |
| deper29 | See you later, everyone. | 23:22 |
| wafflejock | later deper29 | 23:22 |
| UrielVigilant | Rory iam using playonlinux, epson scan and driver | 23:23 |
| jharley | hey, I have a box that just elected to start renaming a network interface from 'p2p2' to 'rename5'.. I can't find the udev rule doing this 'move', but it shows up in /var/log/udev. Help? | 23:23 |
| === jhutchins_wk is now known as jhutchins | ||

| jharley | ( there is nothing in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ) | 23:23 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: Can you please run the command : "sudo apt-get install -s ubuntu-restricted-extras" and paste the full output on http://paste.ubuntu.com then put the resulting URL in this channel | 23:24 |
| Rory | !pm | niee | 23:24 |

| cpined | Rory:is there anything else I can do? | 23:25 |
| niee | ok | 23:25 |
| niee | Hi folks :)) Any one to help me pls? I have a problem to my Google Chrome browser after try to play Video Clip in youtube (ubuntu 11.04). The sound is "stuttering". Any ideas how to fix this problem? | 23:25 |
| pouet78 | Hello I created a schroot with "mk-sbuild --arch armel" it works well by running qemu automatically. Now I have a rootfs already built and would like to work the same way | 23:25 |
| Rory | cpined: Can you go to the page "about:plugins" in Firefox and scroll down to "Shockwave Flash" - What is the value next to "Path:" | 23:25 |
| pouet78 | how schroot knows it needs to run qemu? | 23:26 |
| jhutchins | niee: Try different videos, try different browsers. | 23:26 |

| nemo | So this guy was installing linux for first time. Wubi. He ran jockey-gtk to see if by any chance there were any recommended drivers for his graphics card. | 23:26 |
| === buu_ is now known as buu | ||
| nemo | It recommended a wifi driver, so he installed it. it installed bcmwl-kernel-source:amd64 | 23:26 |
| nemo | Aaaand, completely messed up his wifi | 23:27 |
| nemo | he uninstalled it, but wifi is still messed up | 23:27 |
| nemo | any ideas on what I might suggest to try and fix? | 23:27 |
| niee | jhutchins: in different browser i dont have a problem, but i want to use google chrome. | 23:27 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: It looks like it's OK to remove those packages; they are just differently named in a different repository | 23:27 |
| nemo | niee: google chrome's just a waste of memory :) | 23:28 |
| cpined | Rory:/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so | 23:28 |
| UrielVigilant | nemo: but it startup faster then mozzila | 23:28 |
| nemo | UrielVigilant: eh. I hardly ever start up my browser, so haven't noticed. | 23:28 |
| nemo | UrielVigilant: besides fact once it is in mem, doesn't matter much | 23:28 |
| wafflejock | +1 chrome/chromium-browser I just like the debugging tools better | 23:29 |
| * nemo can't be bothered to check those speeds | 23:29 | |
| niee | nemo: good :) | 23:29 |
| nemo | wafflejock: firebug ? | 23:29 |
| nemo | ok. sorry for browser war thing. *shuts up* | 23:29 |
| UrielVigilant | Rory so i will remove it, then i will install restrited | 23:29 |
| nemo | well. still interested in suggestions on the broadcom screwup jockey-gtk instigated | 23:29 |
| nemo | puzzled why removing the package did not fix things | 23:29 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: Insyall restricted, and let it remove the packages | 23:29 |
| UrielVigilant | on terminal or software center it will do it anyay ? | 23:30 |
| Rory | niee: Try reading here http://askubuntu.com/questions/157082/how-do-i-configure-chrome-to-use-the-system-installed-flash-instead-of-the-bundl to see if disabling Chrome's built-in flash, and using the system-installed flash fixes the issue | 23:30 |
| wafflejock | nemo: I do AngularJS stuff Batarang and other AngularJS extension stuff in Chrome makes it much easier | 23:30 |
| niee | ok tnx Rory | 23:30 |
| wafflejock | nemo: don't get me wrong before Chrome I was all about Firebug, it's still nice | 23:30 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: I'd recommend the terminal: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" - however, you could just install the parts from that package that you actually need - what are you trying to achieve overall? | 23:30 |
| nemo | wafflejock: ah. have never used AngularJS | 23:31 |
| niee | Rory: some time sount play good, but some time is "stuttering". problem is not evry time. | 23:32 |

| ubottu | extras.ubuntu.com is an external !repo for new software made available after the Ubuntu release. This repository is not part of the Ubuntu distribution and the software is completely unsupported by the Ubuntu team, but the original authors may offer some support. | 23:32 |

| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 23:32 |
| nemo | wafflejock: there's an angularjs firebug addon, but unfamiliar w/ it. | 23:32 |
| UrielVigilant | Rory: i did it on terminal. I just want have sure, things will work when i am browsing or playing or working or listen music or dvd in future .. | 23:33 |
| wafflejock | nemo: still getting my feet wet but it's been awesome so far, ramping up on grunt/karma stuff right now for making my builds cleaner and getting some testing going for the client side code... will check that out, with Angular things can get mysterious so the more probing tools the better | 23:33 |
| nemo | wafflejock: glanced on AMO before typing :) | 23:33 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: To install everything from ubuntu-restricted-extras *except* those two problematic packages, you can run: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 liboil0.3 libopenjpeg2 ttf-mscorefonts-installer ubuntu-restricted-addons update-notifier-common | 23:34 |
| UrielVigilant | Rory: i can do it now , after i already installed in terminal ? | 23:35 |
| === map is now known as Guest96267 | ||
| UrielVigilant | Rory: or should i remove the package first , then sudo apt-get update and then that command you sugested ? | 23:36 |
| cpined | Rory:was that path correct? | 23:37 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: If you do the long command I most recently said, you won't have to remove anything because there will be no conflicts | 23:38 |
| UrielVigilant | ROry: i did it, and i get this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6361757/ | 23:40 |
| Rory | UrielVigilant: Then you already have it installed, and don't need to do anything at all. There are no errors there :) (I don't speak Portugese but I do speak apt) | 23:43 |
| UrielVigilant | Rory: thank your for all ! ;o) | 23:44 |

| gr33n7007h | Will any generic joypad work in linux? | 23:45 |
| wilee-nilee | gr33n7007h, Do you have one, or are looking for one? | 23:46 |
| gr33n7007h | wilee-nilee, Looking for one which will knowingly work | 23:47 |
| wilee-nilee | gr33n7007h, Ah, I would suspect some do. some don't, would be my guess, generally at least on amazon you can find ones that list the IS that will work. | 23:48 |
| wilee-nilee | OS* | 23:48 |
| jhutchins | gr33n7007h: Most of them are made by or imitate synaptic. You might get some offbeat one that didn't work. | 23:48 |
| Anden | i've got a keypad (separate numpad) that connects over serial, how can i set it up to work? i've tried inputattach -ps2ser /dev/ttyUSB0 but that didn't work | 23:48 |
| gr33n7007h | wilee-nilee, Will have a look on amazon see what I find | 23:49 |
| Rory | gr33n7007h: I'd recommend shopping around for one as normal, and then quickly searching the Internet to see if it works | 23:49 |
| wilee-nilee | gr33n7007h, I buy just about everything on amazon if I need it good return policies. | 23:49 |
| Rory | gr33n7007h: A lack of a large number of results is probably a *good* thing in this case, since it means people didn't have problems to post about :P | 23:49 |
| Fruckiwacki | Does Ubuntu require /etc/crypttab when using lvm on luks? | 23:50 |
| gr33n7007h | wilee-nilee, Good to know cheers | 23:50 |
| fk_007 | is there anyway to stop video0 from being used, i just ran motion web cam software and it was working fine but i don't know how to stop it so i hit ctrl+z to stop but webcam is still on and video0 is in use | 23:50 |
| gr33n7007h | Rory, Yeah will have search online then check with google | 23:50 |
| gndlp | Fruckiwacki: no idea :-/ | 23:51 |
| fk_007 | so i'm not really looking for how to use motion or anything but in general is there a way to "reset" video0 without restarting the pc | 23:51 |

| joossee | man i hate to be dick but canonical needs to pull its head out of its ass as far as hardwaregoes | 23:54 |
| gndlp | Fruckiwacki: According to that I think you must use luks | 23:54 |
| Fruckiwacki | yeah.. i was just confused because on Archlinux its enough to supply cryptdevice= as boot parameter | 23:55 |
| Fruckiwacki | on Ubuntu it /etc/crypttab seems to be read by initramfs | 23:55 |
| Fruckiwacki | -it | 23:55 |
| gndlp | yeah archlinux is a beast | 23:55 |
| gndlp | that is what i understand | 23:56 |
| Fruckiwacki | Archlinux simply asks for password on boot, Ubuntu doesnt, it just says it cannot find /dev/mapper/x, initramfs has dm-crypt as module loaded. /etc/crypttab is the only thing i havent set yet | 23:56 |
| Fruckiwacki | will try that next | 23:57 |
