| wolfy1339 | dos? no, i'm in ubuntu | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| gndlp | LOL | 00:00 |
| Anden | how do i make my own device for inputattach? because my keypad seems to be unsupported | 00:00 |
| joossee | wolfy1339, and it said "command not found"? | 00:00 |
| wilee-nilee | dorian, It's subjective, an opinion not support. | 00:00 |
| jhutchins | wolfy1339: What's a lua script? | 00:00 |
| wolfy1339 | lua | 00:00 |
| joossee | thats sounds like windows! | 00:00 |
| wolfy1339 | lua is programming language | 00:00 |
| gndlp | its what you use to hack payday 2 duh LOL | 00:00 |
| Fruckiwacki | joossee, yeah, installed saucy desktop beside an existing fully encrypted archlinux system. Due to the manual decryption and preparation of lvm volumes Ubuntu did know about lvm/luks and so kernel/initramfs modules were missing | 00:01 |
| Fruckiwacki | *did not know | 00:01 |
| zykotick9 | jhutchins: fyi, awesome(wm) uses a lot of lua | 00:01 |
| dorian | so a coke/pepsi question. what are the options? strongswan and racoon? (i've only used openbsd isakmpd) | 00:01 |
| Fruckiwacki | joossee, i thought /etc/crypttab is unneded as it seems to be on at least Arch | 00:01 |
| joossee | Fruckiwacki, ive never had to use it | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | Fruckiwacki, saucy desktop? | 00:02 |
| Fruckiwacki | wilee-nilee, that whatever its called 13.10 release cd with live desktop | 00:02 |
| joossee | Fruckiwacki, theres a bug in previous versions of ubuntu, depending on display drivers, the screen asking u for the encrypted partition passwords doesnt display until you hit esc or start typing the password... does itlook like u r getting thoseprompts? | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu hehe | 00:03 |
| Fruckiwacki | yeah, Saucy Salamander | 00:03 |
| joossee | Fruckiwacki, oh off a live CD? I have no idea.. i dont mess with that... make a bootstick instead | 00:03 |
| gndlp | Fruckiwacki: press the down arrow when that happens. That is the workaround | 00:03 |
| joossee | upvote gndlp | 00:03 |
| gndlp | Fruckiwacki: I have the same issue | 00:04 |
| === AEM` is now known as aem` | ||
| Fruckiwacki | Quote: If you replace the entries in /etc/crypttab , make sure to update the initramfs ( update-initramfs -u -k all ) | 00:04 |
| Fruckiwacki | should create one first :) | 00:05 |
| joossee | Fruckiwacki, this bug especially happens with multipleencryptedpartitions | 00:05 |
| sam113101 | guys | 00:05 |

| sam113101 | wilee-nilee: really? | 00:07 |
| gndlp | sam113101: I had that happen once what version are you running? | 00:07 |
| joossee | UNITY: Now with even less icons (tm) | 00:07 |
| sam113101 | gndlp: 13.10 | 00:08 |

| Rory | sam113101: No, not really | 00:08 |

| joossee | bad grampa = hilarious btw | 00:09 |

| joossee | OH THE HUMANITY!!! HE HAS THE WRONG SET OF ICONS!! | 00:09 |
| sam113101 | and when I use the ambiance theme I get icons from the radiance theme | 00:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: in pcmanfm by any chance? | 00:09 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: no, in the top bar, nautilus, etc. | 00:10 |
| gndlp | sam113101: try this run $sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-asset-pool then reboot | 00:10 |
| sam113101 | I'm trying to take a screenshot | 00:10 |
| jhutchins | joossee: Yes. | 00:10 |
| joossee | jhattara, just iwconfig or is there something better? | 00:10 |
| sam113101 | but I can't take one when there's a context menu opened… lol | 00:10 |
| gndlp | joossee: bad grandpa so worth seeing? | 00:11 |
| joossee | gndlp, ya theres one scene in particular that is worth the wholemovie | 00:11 |
| wolfy1339 | how do i use chmod to apply the mode R on a file | 00:11 |
| joossee | wolfy1339, by typing man chmod | 00:11 |
| jhutchins | Could we maybe get back to ubuntu support, and possibly "if you don't have something helpful to say, don't say anything"? | 00:12 |

| sam113101 | cfhowlett: no, the keyboard layout | 00:14 |
| sam113101 | there's a faint "Fr" | 00:14 |
| cfhowlett | sam113101, OK | 00:14 |
| sam113101 | it's supposed to be dark gray, same as other icons | 00:14 |

| salamandre43025 | Hi all, I'm getting 'upgrade-modifier-motd' errors 28 and 35 when I try to boot 12.04LTS | 00:18 |
| salamandre43025 | It's forcing a read-only filesystem and there is no documentation about it | 00:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | salamandre43025: can you post you dmesg please | 00:20 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: did you see my screenshots? | 00:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: yup, what tool are you using to change them, gnome-twaek-tool? | 00:21 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: it's a bug, it's not supposed to be this way | 00:21 |
| sam113101 | I want to fix it | 00:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: how did you install the theme? | 00:22 |
| salamandre43025 | hitsujiTMO: No dice. No access to the whole file system, it's all happening before the spash on boot | 00:22 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: I didn't, comes with ubuntu | 00:22 |
| gndlp | salamandre43025: can you go into recovery mode? | 00:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: did you install the icon set to the /usr/share/icons folder? | 00:23 |
| Mapley | use gnome-tweak-tool to set 'show icons in menu' | 00:23 |
| Mapley | sam113101, ^ | 00:23 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: I didn't install anything, I just expect everything to work | 00:23 |
| salamandre43025 | gndlp: I can go into recovery mode, but it won't allow me to use jockey-text to switch the drivers back from what killed the boot | 00:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: you must manually put the icons there. then set them in gnome-tweak-tool | 00:24 |
| salamandre43025 | gndlp: because that's also read only | 00:24 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: where am I supposed to get them? | 00:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | salamandre43025: have you tried remounting the filesystem? sudo mount -o remount,rw / | 00:25 |
| Dresk|Laptop | How would someone switch the default window manager at auto-login via files (not using the GUI?) Trying my best to automate something | 00:26 |
| gndlp | salamandre43025: can you try and get a log out of the machine? | 00:26 |
| gndlp | from recovery | 00:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: install gnome-tweak-tool with apt-get ... then wherever you downloaded the theme to, it prob has an icons folder that you need to copy to /user/share/icons | 00:27 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: I don't think you understand my problem | 00:27 |
| sam113101 | maybe "icon" wasn't the word | 00:27 |
| gndlp | salamandre43025: /var/log/dmesg is the one i want | 00:27 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: there's supposed to be a check mark besides "show sidebar", well it's there but it's faint… it's supposed to be gray/black | 00:28 |
| salamandre43025 | gndlp: checking now | 00:28 |
| sam113101 | also a dot beside "by name" | 00:28 |
| Mapley | sam113101, probably your icon theme's colors clashing with your GTK+ theme | 00:29 |
| sam113101 | Mapley: it happens even with a new user | 00:30 |
| sam113101 | and it's a new installation | 00:30 |
| Mapley | sam113101, fresh settings? | 00:30 |
| sam113101 | Mapley: yep | 00:30 |
| Mapley | Eh, derp, I'm stumped. | 00:30 |
| sam113101 | even crazier things happen when I plug my ipod in | 00:31 |
| sam113101 | (seriously) | 00:31 |
| gndlp | ipods are not cool man | 00:31 |
| salamandre43025 | gndlp: command not found | 00:31 |
| sam113101 | why would unity even care about my ipod | 00:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: that sounds like a problem with the icon pack? again. did you install it to the right folder? are there any dependencies for the pack that need to be installed? | 00:31 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: I didn't install anything | 00:32 |
| gndlp | salamandre43025: oh lol i want you to cat it and paste the input to paste.ubuntu.com or take a pic of it with your phone something | 00:32 |
| sam113101 | it's the default theme | 00:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: so you want to change the theme to a theme that isn't installed? | 00:32 |
| gndlp | salamandre43025: we are looking for something out of the norm | 00:32 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: no, the theme isn't working correctly | 00:32 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: alright, let me draw you something, lol | 00:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: ok ... so have you at least installed gnome-tweak-tool? | 00:33 |
| salamandre43025 | gndlp: not possible. Once again: unity is not booting. Splash is not loading. There is a driver errorr with Nvidia 319 updates and the read only file system is stopping me from fixing it from a command shell | 00:34 |
| stercor | I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 Upgrade Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10. I have a brick. Message: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I searched the Internet but the solutions mentioned GRUB. I have LILO. What to do? | 00:35 |
| gndlp | salamandre43025: just run $ cat /var/log/dmesg | 00:35 |
| James_Epp | I installed the package nvidia-319 as per steam's suggestion through the software center. After this, I cannot get a GUI up on my system. Is there any way I can remove this package without access to the live system? | 00:35 |
| gndlp | in your root terminal on recovery boot | 00:35 |
| salamandre43025 | gndlp: and now it's forcing fsck to access tty | 00:35 |
| PDilyard | is there a way to save the currently open applications between reboots? | 00:35 |
| gndlp | salamandre43025: that is normal let it do its thing | 00:36 |
| harris | for ubuntu touch on the status page why are there still two broken features for the nexus 7 | 00:36 |
| PDilyard | so when i reboot it just reopens my workspace to what it was before | 00:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: install gnome-tweak-tool | 00:36 |
| PDilyard | v 12.04 btw | 00:36 |

| === bre is now known as Booga | ||
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: its faint because it doesn't contrast well with you icon theme, so you need to change your icon theme | 00:39 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: what icon theme, man? it's the default one… | 00:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: exactly. | 00:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: the default icon theme is ... WHITE | 00:40 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: if I log out and log back in it's alright | 00:40 |
| sam113101 | how do you explain that? lol | 00:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: install gnome-tweak-tool and set the icon theme to ubuntu-mono-light | 00:41 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: it's set to ubuntu-mono-light already | 00:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: how did you set it? | 00:42 |
| kindle | reinstall/ | 00:42 |
| kindle | That's advice from a noob, though | 00:42 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: http://i.imgur.com/BOtouMP.png | 00:43 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: right click on desktop -> change desktop background -> theme -> radiance | 00:43 |
| sam113101 | that's how I did it | 00:43 |
| sam113101 | it worked fine on 13.04 and I expect it to work on 13.10 too | 00:44 |
| sam113101 | it's not supposed to be sorcery | 00:44 |
| sam113101 | (not blaming you for it btw) | 00:44 |
| gndlp | yes sorcery is reserved for upstart | 00:44 |
| tjbiddle | Not ubuntu specific - but this is driving me insane. Why does xargs keep leading with whitespace? git branch -a | grep __ | awk '{print $1}' | sed -e 's/remotes\/origin\///g' | grep -v 'storm' | xargs -t -n1 git push origin : | 00:45 |
| tjbiddle | it keeps giving me something like `git push origin : mybranch` | 00:45 |
| sam113101 | what about systemd? | 00:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: ok, but you didnt do it in gnome-tweak-tool , like i told you to 5 million times :P ... when you do it normally, it just changes a var that gets read upon application start. gnome-tweak-tool sends out a message that forces certain apps to refresh that var. | 00:45 |
| tjbiddle | not supposed to be a space between the colon and branch | 00:45 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: just tried it, doesn't work | 00:46 |
| sam113101 | it changes other icons | 00:46 |
| sam113101 | but not the ones that are broken | 00:46 |
| salamandre43025 | I might have found a work around | 00:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: that might be an app dependant issue, that that particular app isn't refreshing til it's restarted | 00:47 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: it's not just nautilus, it's the bar, too | 00:48 |
| sam113101 | *the bar* | 00:48 |

| gimpygoo | :) | 00:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam113101: just tried it myself. those items changed for me under gnome-tweak-tool. they are not part of the icon theme but the gtk+ theme | 00:51 |
| gimpygoo | Its awesome that you can change the entire way a computer looks and you didnt change the os out... and I can change it back. | 00:51 |
| gimpygoo | Im falling in love with linux.... I feel amazed at my computer again. | 00:51 |

| sam113101 | and forget about sound | 00:53 |

| ryanprior | When I hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift+(Left|Right) I am able to move windows to workspaces left or right. However, substitute (Up|Down) and nothing happens. Can anybody else reproduce this? Is it a bug or did they change the way keybindings work? | 01:02 |

| jhutchins | sam113101: Probably not the dm. | 01:06 |
| sam113101 | ok | 01:06 |

| wilee-nilee | PDilyard, Read carefully there is a section on a seperate home and a couple of options is all. | 01:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | PDilyard: where it says noatime use relatime instead | 01:30 |
| PDilyard | mmmk | 01:31 |
| wilee-nilee | I thin k it is fairly understandable but feel free to ask here if needed. | 01:31 |
| wafflejock | hitsujiTMO: what makes using noatime so bad? don't have it setup here and just read up on relatime so that makes sense but wondering what in particular breaks without the updated atime values? | 01:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | wafflejock: some apps use the atime, so using noatime breaks them. relatime has all the benefits of noatime and none of the cons. some stuff that break are things like some mail tools, some backup tools, tmpwatch. most break silently, such that you'll ever see why its breaking so it can make those tools harder to debug. | 01:37 |
| wafflejock | hitsujiTMO: yeah was thinking backup programs but just curious.. thx will go relatime on this too then | 01:38 |

| kakakal | hi alll, i have a dual boot system with win8 in it, i was comparing copy speed of my pendrive, pendrive file system is fat32 and it took 40 seconds to copy 2.8 Gb data in windows 8, then i tried same pendrive, in same port in ubuntu 12.04 LTS ext4 , desktop, it took 52 seconds to copy same data, why ext4 is slow as compared to NTFS and i tried the same with nautilus, dolphin and pcmanfs, all of them produced same results, | 02:08 |
| wilee-nilee | kakakal, Not much can be done to speed this up I would not really spend to much time on it. | 02:09 |
| phix | wilee-nilee: If you are interested, apparmor is stopping bind from running when using samba4 in DLZ mode, I read the samba4 wiki first however it failed to mention I need MMAP and LOCK permissions on some of the libraries and ldb files. | 02:09 |
| phix | wilee-nilee: I now have it working :D You would of thought the sernet packages would of included a samba apparmor file | 02:09 |

| kakakal | wilee-nilee: it is okay that, it will not take much time but performance is performance, when hardware is capable of doing it, it should utilize the hardware to its fullest | 02:11 |
| phix | wilee-nilee: well it is on by default since Ubuntu 7.10 :) | 02:12 |
| wafflejock | kakakal: I'm sure this depends on a lot of factors you may be able to use iotop to glean some more information about the details of your disk access also some of the steps wilee-nilee had suggested above on mounting using relatime in fstab and the like may affect things | 02:12 |

| kakakal | think about it, i am a normal user, a windows user and trying ubuntu first time, i will not such kind of tweaks or will get tired of somethings like that, because i never did such things, | 02:15 |

| wafflejock | kakakal: not to mention years of fixing driver issues for people, there are problems with all computer systems, most regular users really don't care about 12 seconds on a 2.8GB transfer, day to day I download e-mails listen to music and do development tasks and use git | 02:18 |

| wafflejock | kakakal: I also use DropBox (easy intergration everywhere) and Google Docs for collaborating with others to avoid the whole e-mailing documents rigamarol (sp?) and dealing with compatibility issues | 02:23 |
| kakakal | what if, when your friends doesn't use hangouts, it hardly works on slow internet connections | 02:23 |
| Skapare | lindar: no one on #ubuntu-jp knows about it? | 02:23 |
| wilee-nilee | kakakal, One argument for open source or linux is it's generally safer, windows can be run safe however I rarely meet someone who is. | 02:23 |
| lindar | Skapare: I didn't know that was a thing. | 02:23 |
| Skapare | lindar: give it a try and see if | 02:24 |
| kakakal | wilee-nilee: libre office starts biting dust when it comes in front of office 2010 or 2013, microsoft has set standards in office | 02:24 |
| Skapare | lindar: you might need to explain why you cannot talk in Japanese there :) | 02:24 |
| wafflejock | kakakal: the 2010 office document format is open source the files are just zip files with a bunch of XML inside, I haven't had problems with interoperability with LibreOffice but again I just prefer online collaboration over time wasted e-mailing documents and trying to merge things | 02:25 |
| kakakal | licensing is the issue, but when people use it for free, (Pirated, why they will move to open source, only one argument, it is better, then we must prove them it is better, whether it is file transfer speed or anything else | 02:26 |

| kakakal | wafflejock: google docs is a good service | 02:26 |
| trism | lindar: did you add Japanese (Anthy) in the Text Entry settings? it is a new setup in 13.10, I had to add Japanese (mozc) before it worked | 02:26 |
| cfhowlett | darkside_, get support from the game producers? | 02:27 |
| === isteps is now known as lacont | ||
| kakakal | wafflejock: i am using it only to some extent | 02:27 |

| kdelwat | I've been using 13.10 for a while now and the sound was working fine, however, since using it as a host system to build Linux for Scratch (don't know if it's related) the sound has stopped working completely. I encountered system errors on startup, but now they've disappeared. I've tried force-reloading alsa and removing and reinstalling both alsa and pulseaudio. Does anybody know what the problem could be? | 02:28 |
| wafflejock | kakakal: google docs has been pretty fantastic though... between that google drive, dropbox, springpad and slimtimer I have a pretty good workflow that is basically all online | 02:28 |
| wilee-nilee | kakakal, I would agree on documents, I started on linux, however I use word to write my grad papers, as I said they both have their uses. This is a ubuntu support channel, you have another user who consistently does not follow off tropic rules here notice this. | 02:28 |

| kevin | hey guys. so, i am using my ubuntu desktop workstation as user 'Kevin' but i have another user that i use to share some files over sshfs. since technically that user is logged in, i can't do a normal shutdown as Kevin because another user is logged in, so i have to do it as root. any way around this? | 02:30 |
| kevin | and by 'normal shutdown', i mean, clicking the upper right corner of the desktop in the panel (i use gnome classic) and choosing 'Shut Down' | 02:31 |
| Skapare | just logout then shutdown | 02:31 |
| wilee-nilee | kevin, just logout, they login in the same area right? | 02:32 |
| darkside_ | cfhowlett - actually the official maintainer of this game does not support linux ... 've seen several tutorials but even old users who have had success using the "Wine" | 02:32 |

| wafflejock | PDilyard: still have it running right now? | 02:37 |

| DareDevil_ | Uninstall network-manager totally screw up the internet connection | 02:40 |
| DareDevil_ | not even interfaces showing up in the ifconfig command | 02:40 |
| wafflejock | selite: generally speaking when I've used github.com I'll create the repository remotely check it out then move files into the folder where I checked it out, then add commit and push the changes | 02:41 |

| wafflejock | selite: recommend you check out http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started and http://pcottle.github.io/learnGitBranching/ | 02:42 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: Ctrl+Alt+F7 will get you back to the display that X is using by default | 02:43 |
| selite | wafflejock: Thank you sir. | 02:43 |
| buu | cfhowlett: I've read that =[ | 02:43 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: ok, and what would you like me to do in there? | 02:43 |
| wafflejock | selite: np godspeed | 02:43 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: in the terminal you can backup your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file and make a new one, so you're in there now? | 02:43 |
| PDilyard | no | 02:44 |
| cfhowlett | buu, make it easy. state exactly what issue you'r dealing with. asking seemingly random, unrelelated questions leads to madmess | 02:44 |
| PDilyard | im talking to you on the same computer | 02:44 |
| sam113101 | why does ubuntu keep turning off my monitors? ;[ | 02:45 |
| CrazyZurfer | got an update downloaded and the internet went off for a sec, The updates software thinks it was downloaded correctly but it keeps failing in the moment of upgrading, this update is "librhythmbox-core7", anyway to delete that update and download it again? | 02:45 |
| cfhowlett | sam113101, check your power settings | 02:45 |
| sam113101 | cfhowlett: they look good | 02:45 |
| cfhowlett | sam113101, specifically behavior such as "shutdown if inactive for x minutes" | 02:45 |
| sam113101 | it all looks good | 02:46 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: brb | 02:46 |
| sam113101 | "turn screen off when inactive for: Never" | 02:46 |
| lindar | I think I've figured it out maybe, because I'm using mozc and it's still not working. I think the correct fonts aren't installed, and that's why it won't type in terminal/chrome/etc. | 02:46 |
| cfhowlett | sam113101, so EXTERNAL monitors shutdown? | 02:46 |
| Skapare | it looks like from many postings found by google, ASUS ROG machines are failing widespread on 13.10 ... I wonder if that means 12.04.3 will not work on it, too | 02:46 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: ok, what do you want me to do in the terminal. im talking to you on my laptop now | 02:46 |
| sam113101 | cfhowlett: it's a desktop computer, I have two monitors | 02:47 |
| sam113101 | not sure what external means in that context | 02:47 |
| sam113101 | they really turn off, they don't just display a black image | 02:47 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: alright so you're going to want to cd /etc/X11/ | 02:47 |
| cfhowlett | sam113101, I've never done the multi-desktop configuration. Best you ask someone else. | 02:47 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: ok hang on, i cannot login for some reason | 02:48 |
| buu | cfhowlett: Sorry, I've been reading wiki pages for a while now. For some reason my wireless connection has dropped down to 24-32mbps, tested via wget. A laptop next to the ubuntu machine gets 500mbps+ on the same network with the same file | 02:48 |
| PDilyard | i type in my username, press enter, type my password and it says login incorrect :( | 02:48 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: did you get the X display back up by rebooting already if so you can do some of this from a terminal emulator instead of from the console here | 02:49 |
| buu | cfhowlett: The ubuntu machine was happily doing 400mbps+ lastnight then I restarted, it, heh. | 02:49 |
| cfhowlett | buu, sorry, not something I can address | 02:49 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: not sure whats up with login though | 02:49 |
| sam113101 | why am I the only one having issues with 13.10? | 02:49 |
| buu | =[ | 02:49 |
| wafflejock | sam113101: not true how long have you been in this chat? | 02:49 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: yeah, i originally restarted to get the X display back | 02:49 |
| wafflejock | sam113101: lots of wireless issues I'm hearing... haven't hit upgrade because of it... going to definitely be backing up before upgrading | 02:50 |
| lindar | trism: I think I don't have the correct fonts installed, because it's doing the exact same thing (types japanese in the unity search bar and nowhere else) with mozc. I think I'm missing a font. Do you know which and how to install it? | 02:50 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: okay you can just Ctrl+Alt+T if you're in the X display (Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back there if not) the Ctrl+Alt+T will open a terminal emulator | 02:51 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: yep im there and i change dirs into /etc/X11 | 02:51 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: so you should backup the existing Xorg.conf | 02:53 |
| wafflejock | cp sudo Xorg.conf Xorg.conf.bak | 02:53 |
| wafflejock | that came out wrong | 02:53 |
| wafflejock | sudo cp Xorg.conf Xorg.conf.bak | 02:53 |
| PDilyard | says no such file | 02:53 |
| opc0d3 | hey guys, i had a server compromised and it had a weak ROOT password. i was wondering. is it possible for an attacker to ssh root@server.com, get the public key, and then try to do a brute force or dictionary attack offline? once they find the root pass they reconnect? | 02:53 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu-server|opc0d3, | 02:54 |
| ubottu | opc0d3,: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

| opc0d3 | so, is that a yes or no? | 02:55 |
| opc0d3 | can you do an offline ssh password attack? | 02:55 |
| quickdry21 | opc0d3: If they can access /etc/passwd (which they could, as root) | 02:55 |
| opc0d3 | quickdry21: no, they couldn't get that... just ssh@server.com... theres no way to crack the root pass offline right? | 02:56 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: Xorg.conf doesnt exist in /etc/X11 for me | 02:56 |
| pogiako | hello people ;) | 02:56 |
| quickdry21 | if they can ssh root@server.com, they can scp root@server.com:/etc/passwd /local/file | 02:56 |

| pogiako | nah, just came by to say hi to our beatiful ubuntu people ;) | 02:57 |
| quickdry21 | opc0d3: sorry, it's /etc/shadow, not /etc/passwd, but same concept | 02:57 |
| opc0d3 | quickdry21: they can't get a shell because they dont know the root password... im wondering if SSH key exchange gives some sort of hash that can be cracked offline to find the root pass? | 02:58 |
| kakakal | it pops up a message that counted 2 CPUS | 02:58 |
| kakakal | that 's it and terminal cursor stopped blinking | 02:58 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: ok, im in /usr/share/X11 | 02:58 |

| PDilyard | wafflejock: i have 7.49 GB of swap, so i dont think thats a problem | 03:03 |
| quickdry21 | opc0d3: to get root access to your server via. ssh, they need a way to access your server via ssh (password or key based authentication), and then root access on the server itself. they could get root access by having ssh allowing root login via. password (so ssh root@example.com), root login via. key (ssh root@example.com w/ them having the privat | 03:04 |
| quickdry21 | e key with a public key allowed in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys) or user login (same method as last) that has access to the root password, or is allowed by sudo | 03:04 |

| wafflejock | PDilyard: yeah I doubt the SSD thing is your issue, unless you see very similar symptoms I wouldn't assume it's one bug or another, people experience various crashes and performance problems for different reasons (software/hardware combinations) | 03:05 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: looks like everyone basically suggests what I passed you on that last link which is basically to do a few things to shutdown X then to run dpkg-reconfigure to setup the X file I guess now... not sure when this changed | 03:06 |

| PDilyard | wafflejock: so there were several processes running, but none of them heavy | 03:07 |
| cfhowlett | CrazyZurfer, I believe the command you want sudo apt-get upgrade -f (-f to force the issue) | 03:08 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: yeah I switched off of Unity because I was having some issues with the desktop not loading up entirely on first login, that was 13.04, I installed KDE side by side with Unity (lots of extra packages) then decided I like it better backed up and went with a fresh kubuntu install | 03:08 |
| FukUmist | cfhowlett are there any other Offline dictionaries other than Artha, which just seems to be a basic thesaurus | 03:08 |

| pero | can i "control" a chromium web app from the terminal? can i specify the command line parameters for the launch of just that specific chromium instance? | 03:15 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: i installed it with apt-get and ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and there was no error but nothing happened either | 03:15 |
| cfhowlett | kakakal, uefi or legacy have no impact on performance | 03:16 |
| kakakal | cfhowlett: why they are implemented | 03:17 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: basically dpkg-reconfigure is just going to do the same thing as what that package would do during installation but now I'm bewildered as to how it wasn't present and what was being used? | 03:17 |
| cfhowlett | !uefi|kakakal, ! | 03:17 |
| ubottu | kakakal, !: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 03:17 |
| kakakal | cfhowlett: UEFI is for faster boot on windows , i think | 03:17 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: im not sure | 03:18 |
| testing | I want to ask question how to grep in order to get only the essid and signal level when i issue the iwlist command. | 03:18 |
| r000t | Hello. I'm having some issues adding a third monitor using my iGPU when two are already served by my NVIDIA card. I know the iGPU is turned on because Windows uses the third monitor, and because Ubuntu will display the splash, tty, and kernel messages on the 3rd monitor. The X server only displays on the first two. | 03:18 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: during the installation, i simply freed up 38 gigs on my ssd and left it unallocated. then i ran the installer and it automatically did everything | 03:19 |
| x_root | hey, i'll add this line in fstab | 03:19 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: yeah wasn't asking you to answer... but just not sure what's up... unfortunately on Kubuntu 13.04 so things are a bit different on my setup too perhaps try just doing the full DE reinstall | 03:19 |
| x_root | is this correct? /dev/sda3 /media/x_root/Files auto defaults,uid=1000,umask=1 1 1 | 03:19 |
| huwanli | rtyuio | 03:19 |
| x_root | to everyone act as owner of the directory | 03:19 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: DE stands for? | 03:19 |
| wafflejock | wafflejock: honestly not sure if reinstalling the desktop environment (unity) will replace the underlying X server | 03:20 |
| PDilyard | ah ok | 03:20 |
| PDilyard | PDilyard: yeah me either | 03:20 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: would installing 13.04 or 13.10 make a difference? | 03:20 |
| PDilyard | or do you think it is just the DE that is causing the crashing | 03:21 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: will definitely be different but not sure that it's a better move since 12.04 is LTS, have seen a fair amount of traffic through here of complaints about wifi on 13.10... I'm happy on 13.04 nothing major I've encountered but I have a System76 which is geared towards Linux | 03:21 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: between different versions there are different code/program repositories so everything is different (shouldn't be drastic, but sometimes small changes make all the difference) | 03:22 |
| PDilyard | im on a desktop with an ethernet connection, so if wifi is the only big issue i'd be happier with that | 03:23 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: yeah since you're on a pretty fresh install anyway maybe worth trying getting on the newest and seeing how that works out | 03:23 |
| JokerSmile | woops | 03:23 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: now what would be the best way to uninstall and reinstall? | 03:23 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: delete the partition and boot to a live usb? | 03:23 |
| PDilyard | or is there an option to install on top of the current installation? | 03:24 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: well if you're just going to wipe it out and put 13.10 just boot from the install and let it purge the disk when it asks where to install | 03:24 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: well i have windows on the same drive | 03:24 |
| wilee-nilee | JokerSmile, you did it, you registered? | 03:24 |
| Skapare | so has anyone gotten Ubuntu 13.10 to work on an ASUS ROG? | 03:24 |
| Skapare | maybe I should give up on wanting to buy that machine | 03:25 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: yeah that's fine you can just boot to LiveCD/USB then and wipe the linux partitions leaving windows then re-run the installer | 03:25 |
| PDilyard | ok | 03:25 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: thanks for your help | 03:25 |
| wafflejock | PDilyard: no problem sorry that was so unproductive, sometimes I hit sometimes I miss | 03:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Skapare, its the hardware not the machine, look there grasshopper. | 03:26 |
| JokerSmile | wilee-nilee, I registered before so hopefully thats still my name but I'm trying to identify my self(sign in), | 03:26 |
| Skapare | well hardware == machine ... if it can't be made to work, then no point buying it ... I'll look for something else | 03:26 |
| Skapare | any ideas for a high-end high-power laptop hardware that is Ubuntu friendly? | 03:27 |
| buu | Skapare: mbp? | 03:27 |
| PDilyard | wafflejock: yeah i always seem to have obscure issues | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | Skapare, Dell Sputnik | 03:27 |
| buu | WHY IS THIS GODDAMN WIRELESS CARD NOT WORKING | 03:27 |
| wilee-nilee | Skapare, Right, however both are plurals, you have to be specific if you want a real answer. | 03:27 |
| Skapare | I don't know what 'mbp' means | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | !SHOUT!buu, | 03:27 |
| wafflejock | Skapare: mac book pro | 03:27 |
| wafflejock | Skapare: I have a System76 and like it | 03:27 |
| testing | I want to ask question how to grep in order to get only the essid and signal level when i issue the iwlist command. | 03:28 |
| Skapare | cfhowlett: ok ... but I'll skip that ... Dell is one of the companies I don't do business with | 03:28 |
| Skapare | wafflejock: a mac book? ?? | 03:28 |
| wafflejock | Skapare: it's what mbp stands for | 03:28 |
| wafflejock | Skapare: I'm not suggesting it :) | 03:28 |
| Skapare | wafflejock: OK, didn't catch that | 03:28 |
| wafflejock | Skapare: not saying they're bad it's just not my thing | 03:29 |
| buu | testing: which command in specific? | 03:29 |
| Skapare | wafflejock: OK | 03:29 |
| JokerSmile | wilee-nilee, oh yeah it did work. but it printed ">NickServ< JokerSmile (and my strate out password) | 03:29 |
| Skapare | wafflejock: I'm not as anti-Apple as I am anti-Dell and anti-Sony | 03:29 |
| wilee-nilee | JokerSmile, If you have forgotten any sign in stuff #freenode will send a message to the registered email, if you are still in the system, I would speak with them. | 03:29 |
| Ari-Yang | [22:27:13] <Skapare> any ideas for a high-end high-power laptop hardware that is Ubuntu friendly? ---> this is an ubuntu technical support channel... your question isn't really technical support question | 03:29 |
| Ari-Yang | you're better off googling | 03:29 |
| * Skapare will take a look at System76 and see if their best laptop meets my wants | 03:30 | |
| JokerSmile | wilee-nilee, then on next line NickServ "Invalid command. use .... lalalal for help | 03:30 |
| Skapare | Ari-Yang: BTDT ... need PEOPLE's experience | 03:30 |
| JokerSmile | wilee-nilee, but it worked so i guess nothings wrong then. | 03:30 |
| wilee-nilee | cool | 03:30 |
| Skapare | Ari-Yang: but IMHO, finding hardware that matches software is a technical issue | 03:31 |
| Ari-Yang | Skapare: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CD8QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubuntu.com%2Fcertification%2F&ei=bmZ4UpGlIKnMsQSav4CoBA&usg=AFQjCNH8GnqTak1gQTBkYbSKie0zc_g8IA&bvm=bv.55980276,bs.1,d.dmg | 03:31 |

| lindar | >_< I'm going to bite Ubuntu. I've installed both Anthy and mozc and reinstalled ibus a billion times, but I can only write Japanese characters in Unity's search bar and not anywhere else. It always comes out in roman characters. | 03:31 |

| pogiako | how is 13.10 guys? | 03:33 |
| Skapare | lindar: no one on #ubuntu-jp knew how to make Japanese work? | 03:34 |
| CrazyZurfer | cfhowlett: purged and tried to install it again and send same error as always.. and didn't download anything says that needs to download 0/812kb ... so It keeps trying to install the corrupted deb | 03:34 |
| lindar | Skapare: Nobody in #ubuntu-jp knew how to exist and type in the channel. =/ | 03:34 |
| Skapare | oh | 03:34 |
| pogiako | am still on 13.04, scared that i might have to reinstall 13.04 coz last time i installed it it gave me probs regarding my graphics card | 03:34 |
| cfhowlett | CrazyZurfer, if you PURGED and it's still reported as corrupted, it is corrupted. | 03:34 |
| lindar | pogiako: Great unless you need to type in an Asian language. Video support is fine too, even though I had to reinstall the fglrx drivers. | 03:34 |
| wafflejock | pogiako: back up Clonezilla dd and/or rsync are your friends | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | lindar, I can't imagine what you want is all that difficult, I can't say I have seen you detail it out either. | 03:35 |
| pogiako | so which is more stable, 13.04 or 13.10? | 03:35 |
| lindar | wilee-nilee: I'm not asking *how to add* Japanese language support. I already know how it works. I'm saying it isn't working properly. | 03:35 |
| pogiako | i'd go for the stable one | 03:35 |
| Skapare | wilee-nilee: he needs the ability to input Japanese in all places ... maybe he'd be better off finding some Ubuntu based distro specifically for Japanese | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | that lacks any real detail | 03:36 |
| wafflejock | pogiako: 12.04 is LTS https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 03:36 |
| lindar | >.> | 03:36 |
| pogiako | can i have all the features that i have right now on 12.04? | 03:36 |
| Skapare | lindar: but this is something that works OK in an earlier version of Ubuntu? | 03:36 |
| Skapare | lindar: have you tried 12.04 LTS? | 03:37 |
| Ari-Yang | pogiako: lts has longer support, but may have stale software packaged... non-lts has new features and updates software packaged | 03:37 |
| wafflejock | pogiako: totally depends on what features you use... different repositories for different versions of ubuntu have different packages available | 03:37 |
| lindar | Skapare / wilee-nilee : Please read very carefully. I had Japanese input on 13.04 working fine. I upgraded to 13.10 and now it isn't. If I click on the button at the top left of the unity task bar, which opens up a file search menu for programs and files on the machine, I can type Japanese there. With the Japanese input still on I cannot type Japanese in any other input. | 03:37 |
| wafflejock | pogiako: basically it's a toss up between stability and cutting edge... but 12.04 will be supported security wise for longer | 03:38 |
| pogiako | aw man, thats knda sad coz its old :( | 03:38 |
| wafflejock | april 2012 | 03:38 |
| pogiako | huh? | 03:38 |
| wafflejock | 12.04 stands for 2012 04 (april) it's not that old | 03:38 |
| wafflejock | 14.04 will be the next LTS | 03:38 |
| Skapare | lindar: yeah, you explained that before ... probably broken software since you know how to set it up ... or broken software packaging ... I *am* suggesting running an earlier version until they can fix it | 03:39 |
| wafflejock | !lts | pogiako | 03:39 |
| ubottu | pogiako: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 03:39 |
| lindar | pogiako: Just wait for the next LTS and stick with 13.04 or go crazy and get 13.10 and deal with the consequences. There's some new shiny stuff. | 03:39 |

| Ari-Yang | pogiako: if you don't want 12.04 cuz the packaged software is old, I recommend you get 12.10... That expires april 2014, or you can get 13.04 but that expires really soon (next two months I think) | 03:42 |

| scriptThis | Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome | 03:42 |
| wilee-nilee | scriptThis, gnome 3 the fallbac\k or the shell | 03:42 |

| wafflejock | pogiako: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes | 03:43 |
| wilee-nilee | scriptThis, in the fallback you just use the alt key to add and remove I'm not sure there is a dir. | 03:43 |
| JokerSmile | can i be signed in with this nick on Ubuntu and my android irc client | 03:44 |
| cfhowlett | JokerSmile, 1 login at a time | 03:44 |
| scriptThis | I can't "alt drag" the terminal window to the top panel though | 03:44 |

| JokerSmile | cool thanks | 03:45 |
| CrazyZurfer | cfhowlett: E: No se ha podido localizar el paquete librhythmbox --> that means like.. couldn't locate the packages librhythmbox | 03:45 |

| Lyx925 | hello | 03:46 |
| wafflejock | Hello Lyx925 | 03:47 |
| wilee-nilee | scriptThis, I have not used the fallback, I would look on the web for adding stuff. | 03:47 |
| scriptThis | Finally got it: gnome-terminal --working-directory /home/name/path/to/folder | 03:48 |
| cfhowlett | CrazyZurfer, my last brilliant idea: spring cleaning. sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean THEN run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:48 |
| wilee-nilee | scriptThis, you know ctrl-alt-t is a terminal load | 03:48 |
| scriptThis | wilee-nilee, right, but that takes you by default to home, I wanted something that goes to a specific directory | 03:51 |
| wilee-nilee | hehe not quiet but nice try, see yah as you are gone. | 03:53 |

| lotuspsychje | morning to all | 03:55 |
| KillBiebs | Question, how do I disable the magazines/books from coming up in the software center? | 03:56 |
| Guest52101 | how do i access the boot menu for an acer aspire V5. F12 hasn't worked. changing bios didn't either for some reason | 03:57 |
| Emanon | So I'm running an encrypted 13.04 installation. Upon boot the encryption key prompt is in CLI. What do I have to install/change to make it use the GUItastic graphical decryption prompt? | 03:57 |
| Emanon | 13.10 Sorry. | 03:57 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest52101: try the ##hardware channel mate | 03:57 |
| lotuspsychje | KillBiebs: not sure sugestions like that can be disabled, do they really bother you? | 03:58 |
| cfhowlett | Guest52101, ask #acer | 03:58 |
| wilee-nilee | KillBiebs, I doubt you can all of them. | 03:59 |
| KillBiebs | hah yeah, it does ;\ | 03:59 |
| CrazyZurfer | cfhowlett: seems to work, but didn't install the update... I actually don't care about that update, just didn't wanted to have errors, thanks! | 03:59 |
| Guest52101 | cfhowlett: no one is in that channel | 03:59 |
| pero | can i "control" a chromium web app from the terminal? can i specify the command line parameters for the launch of just that specific chromium instance? | 04:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest52101: try a few, F2, DEL | 04:00 |
| BradTN | any mdadm experts around? | 04:00 |
| wilee-nilee | KillBiebs, I never use the software center myself just the cli. | 04:00 |
| thx1138_ | i need to install an nvidia driver for a geforce 6200...what's the difference / advantages of installing nvidia-304 vs nvidia-304-updates vs the nvidia install run file from nvidia's website? | 04:00 |
| lotuspsychje | BradTN: ask your issue in channel mate | 04:00 |
| Emanon | I'm somewhat familiar with it BradTN what do you need? | 04:01 |
| BradTN | my issue is this raid isnt working | 04:01 |

| BradTN | and i need someone who knows what they are doing to take a look plz | 04:01 |
| KillBiebs | cli as in apt-get? I'm brand new to Ubuntu so I have to use software center to see what kind of apps are available. I don't even know what I want yet ;) | 04:01 |
| BradTN | thx.. ive read and tried all this stuff thanks | 04:01 |
| Emanon | Perhaps if you gave some less ambiguous descriptions of your issue someone could help you BradTN. | 04:01 |
| lotuspsychje | KillBiebs: what packages do you need? we might be able to find your right software | 04:02 |
| wilee-nilee | KillBiebs, Yeah the terminal, I can see the dilemma. | 04:02 |

| Emanon | So presumably you're building your array via CLI correct BradTN? | 04:10 |
| === din_ is now known as din | ||
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| BradTN | yes | 04:12 |
| Emanon | BradTN: You might consider using LVM rather than RAID, it's more flexible and easier to configure providing most of the same functionality as the kind of software RAID you are trying to create. The package system-config-lvm provides a graphical tool by which to create and manage them. You might check it out before you continue. | 04:13 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| Emanon | BradTN: In my experience it's MUCH easier to create and manage Volume Groups and Logical Volumes than Arrays so that could be a better option for you. | 04:16 |
| BradTN | hows its redundancy and performance? | 04:16 |
| BradTN | mainly this is suppose to be storage for media to be streamed throughout house | 04:17 |
| niftylettuce | can anyone here make sense of what this means/does and how i can get it to work on my end with the TrustZone stuff? http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html | 04:17 |
| Emanon | You can set striping and (if I'm not mistaken) parity as you wish to replicate the functionality of popular RAID levels and though there may be some performance difference between LVM and RAID (I don't know if there is) I've never observed one. | 04:18 |
| wilee-nilee | niftylettuce, This a ubuntu-touch issue? | 04:18 |
| niftylettuce | wilee-nilee: sort of, i am trying to get passed motorola's bootloader | 04:18 |
| niftylettuce | wilee-nilee: apparently this guy figured it out by using a dev device and running through the Motorola Unlock Program -- he reverse engineered | 04:19 |

| 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". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 05:54 |

| cfhowlett | kakakal, again: subjective. you're accustomed to your pre-sets on windows media. It's possible to do the same in linux but those SAME pre-sets do not exist. make your own | 06:20 |
| lindar | kakakal: Yes, but subjective terms don't do anything for technical problems. It could just be your imagination. Have you tried using EQ? | 06:20 |
| GeekDude | Sometimes when I say "exit" over SSH, it replies "logout" and hangs. I assume this is because I left my browser connected via proxy? How do I fix it? I remove the browser post-issue, but it still just hangs | 06:20 |
| kakakal | yes, i used equalizer, built in the vlc | 06:20 |
| joossee | grrrr installing ubuntu desktop didnt fix my blackscreen issue... i mentioned that i have to use nomodeset to get to CLI...? | 06:20 |

| lindar | joossee: What kind of video card? | 06:21 |
| joossee | firemv 2250 | 06:21 |
| kakakal | none of them served my purpose well | 06:21 |
| lindar | kakakal: Okay. Cool story, bro. You're not being very helpful. | 06:21 |
| lindar | joossee: ATI? | 06:21 |
| joossee | lindar, there is a link here explaing problem with newer xorgs sez to run 7.0 | 06:21 |
| joossee | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1091380 | 06:21 |

| joossee | AMD nee ATI, my friend :) | 06:21 |
| joossee | so im wondering if i can revert to xorg 7.0 ? | 06:22 |
| joossee | on 12.04 | 06:22 |
| lindar | joossee: Had almost the same problem. Just a black screen, possibly with a blinky dot? I had to root console and force install the closed drivers because the open ones wouldn't allow it to run. | 06:22 |
| kakakal | lindar: i haven't created any story, this is true | 06:22 |
| joossee | lindar, thats what i need to do i think!! but no idea how to | 06:22 |
| kakakal | the same hardware, same volume level, and the same song | 06:22 |
| kakakal | but sound produced by windows is better | 06:23 |
| lindar | kakakal: Okay, I believe you. It doesn't sound as good on Ubuntu. You're also not giving us any helpful information. Vague subjective terms don't help troubleshoot technical problems. | 06:23 |
| kakakal | so what type of technical information you need | 06:23 |
| * cfhowlett ... grabs a bowl of popcorn and some napkins, proceeds to watch | 06:24 | |
| xmetal | !details | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 06:24 |
| lindar | joossee: You'll have to go into recovery from grub, load up root console, and manually install fglrx-updates. | 06:24 |
| joossee | OH FUDGE COOKIES | 06:24 |
| joossee | IT KINDA WORKED ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!\\ | 06:24 |
| joossee | i have one screen on with gui!!! | 06:24 |
| cfhowlett | !caps|joossee, | 06:24 |
| ubottu | joossee,: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 06:24 |
| kakakal | i am using pulse audio, i used equalizer in vlc, tried to change bass levels, tried some presets like rock, home, soft, techno, bass etc, but not equal to windows | 06:24 |
| joossee | yayayayayay! | 06:24 |
| xmetal | hmm | 06:25 |
| joossee | ok lemme see if i can get drivers installed the proper way | 06:25 |
| andry | anyone uses google chrome? if yes, what is your ~/.xsession-errors file size? | 06:25 |
| kermyt | kakakal, so why not just use windows? | 06:25 |
| lindar | kakakal: Actual technical information. "The bitrate is lower." or "The EQ is different." or anything helpful like that. If it's just that the EQ presets don't sound the same, copy them over or something... | 06:25 |
| xmetal | i tried the pulse audio equalizer in the latest version of the distro i use but it doesn't work it seems ... was fine in the version prior | 06:26 |
| joossee | ok wow this gui is very different | 06:26 |
| ObrienDave | much more fun th complain about a FREE OS than try to adjust it properly LMAO | 06:26 |
| ObrienDave | *to | 06:26 |
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, are you speaking *sputter* LOGIC? | 06:27 |
| ObrienDave | that would be WAY to easy ;)) | 06:27 |
| xmetal | logic? .. what in the world is that? | 06:27 |
| joossee | so lindar i just go to additional hardware? | 06:28 |
| lindar | xmetal: It's a program hipsters use to make music on overpriced computers. | 06:28 |
| cfhowlett | lindar, okay, that got a laugh. Good one. | 06:28 |
| ObrienDave | I could say to kakakal that windows is DESIGNED to be IDIOT proof. but, that would not be very nice | 06:28 |
| xmetal | oh ... is there a place where i can download this logic? | 06:28 |
| xmetal | :P | 06:29 |
| lindar | ObrienDave: It's also not true. It's genius-proof. I can't figure out how to get it to do anything. | 06:29 |
| ObrienDave | LOL | 06:29 |
| lindar | ::cool_guy:: | 06:29 |
| kakakal | lindar: i am not an audio engineer and i told you what i know from a general user point of view, and kermyt , this is what linux is all about? to shift to windows? because of some sound problem, there are many issues still need to be resolved by linux community, if they are not resolved, why the normal user will shift to linux, when one can get a fully functional copy(Pirated windows) for free, via torrent or whatsoever, if a user is aware enough, his/her syste | 06:29 |
| kakakal | ObrienDave: idiot proof, AND linux is GEEK PROOF :D | 06:30 |
| kakakal | but more than 85% people in the world are using windows, because they are idiots??? | 06:30 |
| kermyt | geek proof? my friend you are not the neckbeard you think you are. | 06:30 |
| lindar | kakakal: Okay, and your English skills are very poor, so you're not adequately communicating your problem. Windows sounds better and you can't explain what the difference is. | 06:30 |
| lindar | kakakal: We're not refusing to help you, it's just that you're not doing anything to actually allow us to help you. You're telling us it's broken, but you haven't told us anything else, and we can't help you without more information. Be more descriptive. | 06:31 |
| xmetal | 64% of all stats are made up ... 95% of people know that | 06:31 |
| ObrienDave | ignores the troll | 06:31 |
| kakakal | lindar: yes, i couldn't explain the difference in technical terms, in terms of bitrate and other things, i used same volume level, i used same song, so bitrate should be same, elsse i don't know | 06:32 |
| ianorlin | it might be quieter? | 06:32 |
| joossee | ok so i got ubuntu desktop running now i just need to install right drivers... | 06:32 |
| cfhowlett | kakakal, no one is going to jump through the computer to help you set your own sound preferences. | 06:32 |
| lindar | kakakal: Is the bitrate lower (does it sound like a fish-tank?)? Is the treble or bass different? Are the EQ levels different? | 06:32 |
| xmetal | bbiab.. want to try something | 06:33 |
| ianorlin | do you normally plug into speakers in the front and is it using worse built in speakers? | 06:33 |
| kakakal | cfhowlett: thanks | 06:33 |
| lindar | kakakal: Also, we're not required to help you. We're all random people who do this as a hobby, not official paid tech support representatives. We'll get along just fine if you get butt-hurt and decide to go back to Windows. | 06:33 |

| wilee-nilee | It's the ubuntu-gang lol | 06:33 |
| lindar | kakakal: So how about you be a little fucking humble and don't act so entitle. We don't have to fix your problem, and we're not inclined to if you're not going to help us figure out what the problem is. | 06:34 |
| joossee | hey im humble and unintitled! lets go back to the sooting melodies of fixing a funky video card! | 06:34 |
| * cfhowlett ... inserts "chillax" command into the thread. | 06:34 | |
| lindar | joossee: Did you get fglrx-updates installed? | 06:35 |
| wilee-nilee | joossee, Have you identified said card, look at lspci to do so. | 06:35 |
| joossee | lindar, hrmm dont think so..? | 06:35 |
| joossee | apt-get install fglrx-updates ? | 06:35 |
| joossee | how do i get command prompt? atl-f2? | 06:35 |
| kermyt | has anyoe gotten fglrx to work with with the new AMD APU? | 06:35 |
| lindar | joossee: That or ctrl+alt+t | 06:36 |
| lindar | joossee: "sudo apt-get install --yes fglrx-updates" | 06:36 |
| lindar | kermyt: Haven't tried. Too poor. If you buy me one I'll try it out and let you know. | 06:37 |
| rajuvm | Hi guys i have directory path /var/local/oab/src directory. In amazon instance its taking up more disk space of 2G, as we know its kind of very critical in prods. Could you help us in understanding, what this directory is and how can i handle it | 06:37 |
| joossee | lindar, ok comes up in lspci it seems right | 06:37 |
| kermyt | I have an AMD A4-3300 APU and fglrx runs but with an "unsupported hardware" logo in the right corner. | 06:37 |
| kermyt | the radeon drivers jsut hard lock the machine | 06:38 |
| joossee | 3,3 kbps wow! | 06:38 |
| lindar | kermyt: I get that same thing with fglrx, but fglrx-updates works great. | 06:38 |
| joossee | gigabit cables definately worth the extra ten bucks | 06:38 |
| kermyt | hmm ok thanks lindar | 06:38 |
| lindar | kakakal: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | 06:39 |
| lindar | kakakal: "buy professional support services" | 06:39 |
| joossee | hrmmm lindar... the install seems stopped at 94% .. i hit enter it just repeats "94% [5 fglrx-updates 87.6 ... 100%] | 06:40 |
| kakakal | lindar: NO problem, i don't have so much spare time to tweak, i will spend some more time on installing drivers in WIndows, next time, that's the only positive difference i could see in the linux. Otherwise, slow read write speed, even on ext4 partition as compared to NTFS, with same hardware, slow boot as compared to windows, slow application execution, like chrome, gimp, mozilla, they execute faster on windows, i installed preload, prelink,, ureadahead, and h | 06:40 |
| joossee | kakakal, yeah but i can copy all your files with a usb stick.\ | 06:40 |
| joossee | oh here we go install has resumed | 06:41 |
| joossee | depmod..... | 06:41 |
| kermyt | ext4 isn't designed to be a high performance FS. it's a journaling FS and as a result it's a little slower than most non journaling FSs like ext2 | 06:41 |
| kakakal | joossee: even with an encrypted hard drive? | 06:41 |
| lindar | kakakal: Okay, like I said, I don't care one way or another. It's not my job to force you to use Ubuntu. | 06:41 |
| cfhowlett | and now, moving on to ubuntu support ... | 06:41 |
| lindar | kakakal: You can't figure out how to get it to work and you won't explain what's actually wrong with it. | 06:42 |
| kakakal | lindar: i am not complaining anything to you and why the hell you are getting angry | 06:42 |
| ObrienDave | but he wants it fixed NOW | 06:42 |
| joossee | ok fglrx update installed reboot? | 06:42 |

| Hempathy | I'd just like to pass on my thanks to the due/tte who suggested xubuntu... can't believe it has taken me so long to try it | 06:53 |
| brian101 | kakakal: I take it I must perform this in a terminal window from Ubuntu? | 06:53 |
| ObrienDave | Hempathy YAY! | 06:53 |
| Hempathy | just what i'm looking for in a UI... although I kinda miss the lens | 06:53 |
| cfhowlett | Hempathy, sweet, ain't it? | 06:54 |
| Hempathy | ObrienDave, thanks man :) | 06:54 |
| kakakal | yes, it has a GUI, and it will do most of work automatically for you | 06:54 |
| ObrienDave | no prob | 06:54 |
| joossee | ok now i am just having weirdest problem: trying to launch amd catalyst config and it asks for password to modify system settings but it keeps getting it wrong... i checked for caps lock and it stays on until i hit the shift key... is my keyboard configured incorrectly? | 06:54 |
| Hempathy | love it, it has the simplicity of the earlier versions of Ubuntu that I fell for | 06:54 |
| cfhowlett | Hempathy, nice | 06:55 |
| ObrienDave | Hempathy that's why i can't stand Unity ;) | 06:55 |
| Hempathy | I've never been a fan of Unity | 06:55 |
| Hempathy | although after the last few version it has been growing on me... | 06:55 |

| brian101 | Thanx kakakal, I'll try it out tonight when I get back home after work. | 06:56 |
| ObrienDave | Hempathy welcome to Xubuntu ;)) | 06:57 |
| kakakal | brian101: no problem and i am shifting to windows :( | 06:57 |
| ObrienDave | Hempathy and join us on #xubuntu | 06:58 |
| Hempathy | Thanks for your help here though people as always | 06:58 |
| cfhowlett | Hempathy, xubuntu is also the base of #ubuntustudio | 06:59 |
| Hempathy | ubuntu studio???? is that the version with the audio visual plugins? | 06:59 |
| Hempathy | ...software in the distro? | 07:00 |
| brian101 | Ouch! I am considering going back to 12.04.03 LTS and staying there. Maybe looking for another distribution or following your path. Also :( | 07:00 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntustudio|Hempathy, | 07:00 |
| ubottu | Hempathy,: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 07:00 |
| cfhowlett | Hempathy, much more than merely plugins | 07:00 |

| Hempathy | cfhowlett, so currently i play woth GIMP & a couple of audio suits... this has the best recommended benchmarks? | 07:01 |
| ObrienDave | Hempathy just look for ubuntustudio in synaptic. no need to re-install | 07:02 |
| raju_ | Hello I am running Ubuntu 13.10 and I dont why its keep hanging for a while and then resuimng. could somebody help me ? | 07:02 |
| Paulus68_1 | Hempathy: then my guess is that Ubuntu studio is gonna be your friend :) | 07:02 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| cfhowlett | Hempathy, it all depends on what you plan to do. you CAN get any of the packages that are in ubuntustudio without installing the distro. US just puts it all together in a nice, tight, artfully arragned distro | 07:02 |
| cfhowlett | *BUT* I might be a tad biased ... | 07:02 |
| ObrienDave | just a bit ;)) | 07:03 |
| Hempathy | haha ObrienDave like you aint to Xu | 07:03 |
| cfhowlett | Hempathy, you've got xubuntu. Upgrading to US would be a trivial matter. I'd recommend the LTS version which means ... I"m going to be all xmas-y next April 17! | 07:04 |
| Hempathy | cfhowlett, ???? | 07:04 |
| Hempathy | xmasy? | 07:04 |
| Hempathy | ahhhh 14.04? | 07:04 |
| cfhowlett | :) | 07:04 |
| ObrienDave | Hempathy who, me? NEVER ;) | 07:05 |
| cfhowlett | indeed! I do LTS only so I usually watch the biannual OMG! It's 9:01! Is it out yet? with great amusement. | 07:05 |
| Hempathy | cool, I've only picked up a decent box in the last 12 months, so am looking to abuse what it's capable of | 07:06 |
| ObrienDave | abuse LOL | 07:06 |
| Hempathy | pissed that I picked up an ATI card | 07:06 |
| cfhowlett | Hempathy, I'll warn you now, once you pick up US and actually create something cool ... you'll never look at a vanilla ubuntu variant the same again | 07:07 |
| Hempathy | I've played with nearly every OS via V Box, stoked to finally find Xbb | 07:07 |

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 07:37 |
| webdev13 | ok , i will test the commands first in development env. | 07:37 |
| qwerty__ | i removed unity and am now using openbox so i cant do that | 07:38 |
| webdev13 | but im bad at lunux commands | 07:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | qwerty__: have a look there. I'd start by seeing if you can play a sound directly with alsa: use aplay from command line to do that | 07:38 |
| qwerty__ | i tryed aplay and nothing happens | 07:38 |
| qwerty__ | like i said the sound worked fine before i removed unity and installed openbox | 07:39 |
| qwerty__ | i also removed lightdm if it matters | 07:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | qwerty__: did you try aplay /path/to/file | 07:39 |
| qwerty__ | hitsujiTMO, yeah i tryed that before | 07:40 |
| lotuspsychje | qwerty__: why did you remove unity, as you can login to openbox? | 07:40 |
| qwerty__ | lotuspsychje, because i like using startx | 07:40 |
| qwerty__ | lotuspsychje, with openbox | 07:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | qwerty__: have a look at alsamixer to see of its muted. hit m on a channel to mute/unmute. | 07:41 |
| qwerty__ | cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 07:41 |
| lotuspsychje | qwerty__: maybe it removed needed files uninstalling unity | 07:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | qwerty__: install alsa-utils | 07:41 |
| qwerty__ | alsa-utils is already the newest version. | 07:42 |
| Yowl | My browser has been freezing up, and its frozen up my system too, causing weird graphic problems, like where it shows chrome shrunk and semitransparent (can't take a screenshot of it because of PC being froze up every time this happens) Is there a log or something that could tell me what might be going on? Could I have malware attached to my browser? | 07:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | qwerty__: then try again: alsamixer | 07:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Yowl: when did this problem occur? | 07:42 |
| qwerty__ | hitsujiTMO, same thing no such file or directory | 07:43 |
| Yowl | lotuspsychje: plenty of times, including just before I came here. I was viewing a review site, and as I was scrolling down, the page would lock up and the browser would offer to kill the page after awhile. | 07:43 |
| qwerty__ | hitsujiTMO, if i just type alsa i get something | 07:43 |
| Solupus | I installed citadel-suite and got everything working so far. When i tried to acess webcit via mydomain.com:8080 it works fine but when i try to access it through mydomain.com:4434 i get a connection timed out error | 07:43 |
| lotuspsychje | !details | Yowl | 07:43 |
| ubottu | Yowl: 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 ..." | 07:43 |
| Solupus | i tried a test build without apache and https worked fine | 07:44 |
| qwerty__ | Usage: /sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume} | 07:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Yowl: ubuntu version? upgrade? grafix card chipset and driver? | 07:44 |
| Solupus | but once I added apache I started getting the connection was reset error | 07:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | qwerty__: looks like you messed something up if alsamixer is not there and alsa-utils is installed | 07:44 |
| Solupus | timed out = correction reset* sorry | 07:44 |
| dreamy_ | what tag can i type on the command line to kow my internet ip? anyone helping? | 07:44 |
| everestt | join #cyanogenmod | 07:45 |
| qwerty__ | hitsujiTMO, when trying to figure out whats going on i reinstalled alsa-utils | 07:45 |
| everestt | (oops..sorry) | 07:45 |
| Yowl | lotuspsychje: radeon 6850, so it isnt necessarily maleware? | 07:45 |
| Archguy | How is there no one here? | 07:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Yowl: no i dont think its malware | 07:46 |
| Archguy | Anyone know why this alias doesn't work: alias alias keymap="setxkbmap -layout 'fr,us' -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll'" I put it in .bash_aliases in Lubuntu 13.04 | 07:46 |
| Yowl | lotuspsychje: What would signs of maleware in a browser on ubuntu be? | 07:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | qwerty__: if you want to use openbox, you should install a minimal environment fisrt. then install the components on top of it so you know whats going on. so you should have installed ubuntu-server and install the packages on top of that | 07:46 |
| wilee-nilee | Yowl, malware is not pointed at linux, not really the correct term | 07:47 |
| qwerty__ | hitsujiTMO, ok ill start over then hahaha ill be back thanks | 07:47 |
| lotuspsychje | wilee-nilee: my xchat icon on cairo dock doesnt start, and after running it from unity sidebar it opens second active icon in cairo, any clue? | 07:48 |
| wilee-nilee | lotuspsychje, Hmm not sure I would drag it off when closed and make another launcher, have not really had that happen. | 07:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Yowl: you have system freezes when not browsing chrome? | 07:49 |
| Yowl | wilee-nilee: Well plugins don't care much about the OS because they interface with the browser, right? Couldn't it be some maleware installed in the browser so that the OS doesn't matter? | 07:49 |
| xmetal | hmm | 07:50 |
| Yowl | lotuspsychje: I don't think so, but I often use my computer for browsing, so its hard to say for sure. Not sure if it happens in firefox or not, not been using it much | 07:50 |
| Archguy | Anyone know why this alias doesn't work: alias alias keymap="setxkbmap -layout 'fr,us' -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll'" I put it in .bash_aliases in Lubuntu 13.04 | 07:50 |
| Archguy | Hello, installed VMWare Tools and the CD mounts in Lubuntu but when I go into the folder /media/username/"Lubuntu 13.04" and try and read it I get ls: reading directory .: Input/output error | 07:50 |
| wilee-nilee | Yowl, highly unlikely never seen one myself or here in 7 years of using open source. | 07:51 |
| lotuspsychje | Yowl: you might wanna dig in /var/log/syslog.1 to see if there are relevant errors maybe | 07:51 |
| molavy1 | i can't understand why installtion of ubuntu on kvm take too long | 07:51 |
| molavy1 | i have centos as host and want install ubuntu as guest access 3GB Ram and 4 core cpu | 07:51 |
| molavy1 | i using libvirt and virtu manager | 07:52 |
| molavy1 | i take too long to show each step | 07:52 |
| Gentoon | Strangley my sound didnt work out of the box and I am having weird hibernation issues | 07:52 |
| Gentoon | anyways it didnt detect my sound, is there some simple app or script I can ru for it to try and detect it? | 07:53 |
| Gentoon | I have installed Ubuntu on this machine so many times and never had issues this is weird | 07:53 |
| Yowl | lotuspsychje: Considering it just happened, and considering there is no entries for today, it seems there are no answers in syslog.1 | 07:53 |
| molavy1 | and use less than 10% of hardware assigned | 07:53 |
| Gentoon | It is 13.04 btw | 07:53 |
| Gentoon | Anyone? | 07:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Yowl: your system freeze must have a cause, so somewhere it should have an error | 07:54 |
| wilee-nilee | molavy1, you sum it, ubuntu is not the best vm OS I have found anyway. | 07:54 |
| molavy1 | for example it show me 5 minute a purple screen and then show select keyboard layout | 07:54 |
| Gentoon | Sureley there is some setup script or something that will attempt to find my sound card? | 07:54 |
| molavy1 | which one is best to run web service on vm | 07:55 |
| molavy1 | ? | 07:55 |
| Gentoon | Ok btw it is sudo als force-reload | 07:56 |
| Yowl | lotuspsychje: Not in syslog.1. What ever the issue, is, it seems to originate from the browser, ranging from momentary strange hickups to the aforementioned total system freezes. But its the browser that freezes first, then the rest of the system seems to panic and freeze up soon after. | 07:56 |
| molavy1 | i don't know , that may cause of server host config , but it is default libvirt default config on centos and i don't change anything | 07:56 |
| Yowl | I misspoke, the rest of the system doesn't necessarily freeze up soon after, it depends on a few factors, like how much else I try to do etc | 07:57 |
| Yowl | I definitely haven't managed to get up system monitor during these browser freezeups though | 07:58 |
| Nothing_Much | How do I add a partition to the /home directory? | 07:58 |
| jony_easyrider | it's ok if I use "." in the a username in Ubuntu Server? | 07:58 |
| ObrienDave | Nothing_Much you don't add partitions to a directory. what do you mean | 07:59 |
| Yowl | Nothing_Much: I recommend naming the partition in gparted after making and formating to simply matters. You make the partition, format, mount it to /home, then you set ownership | 08:00 |
| molavy1 | any idea ? best approach to make server visualize with two vm , one for web server and another for local network usage | 08:00 |
| Nothing_Much | ObrienDave, What I mean is I can cd into the partition without going to /media/ | 08:00 |
| Yowl | Nothing_Much: I went through it with help here before, but I don't remember the particular commands for it. | 08:00 |
| Yowl | Nothing_Much: partitions are mounted whereever you want, whether it be /home or anywhere else | 08:01 |
| Nothing_Much | So how do I mount that partition on /home? | 08:01 |
| jnhghy | Nothing_Much: see if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoveMountpointHowto | 08:01 |
| yeyeman | software updater wants to install something for chromium?? I don't even have chromium install to my knowledge | 08:02 |
| yeyeman | how do I remove it? | 08:02 |
| jnhghy | molavy1: you have 1 server or 2 VMs? | 08:03 |
| Yowl | Nothing_Much: After that, if you can't add files to the partition, its because you haven't set ownership yet | 08:03 |
| Nothing_Much | I am able to put files in the partition | 08:03 |
| Nothing_Much | I just need to figure out how to mount them | 08:03 |
| Nothing_Much | to /home | 08:04 |
| jnhghy | Nothing_Much: using fstab, have you checked the webpage I've linked? | 08:04 |
| Grimm_ | Hey , once again i will attempt to install ubuntu 13 next to my windows 7 , on a machine with UEFI . Last 2 times i tried , i gave up after a few days of frustration , but i found my courage again. | 08:04 |
| Nothing_Much | I tried fstab | 08:04 |
| Grimm_ | Is this the right channel for support for this ? i really would need step by step help | 08:04 |
| Nothing_Much | Ah | 08:04 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Hey, I got a problem with polkit-kde: I installed the package, and the agent seems to get launched. But testing it with pkcheck says there's no agent to communicate with. If I use '--enable-internal-agent', the polkit related stuff works as expected, but KDE won't display any dialog. | 08:05 |
| yeyeman | how do I remove "chromium security updates" from my software updates? | 08:05 |
| Nothing_Much | I put it in the /home directory | 08:05 |
| molavy1 | jnhghy: i have one server hp proliant dl380 g5 | 08:05 |
| yeyeman | I don't have chromium installed so I don't want it's security updates | 08:05 |
| molavy1 | installed centos | 08:05 |
| wafflejock | Grimm_: yes, you're not likely to find someone who has your exact scenario but if you run thinigs by the chat and let people know when you're wary of a step you'll get feedback | 08:06 |
| Nothing_Much | But when I put it where my name is (where I wanna put it), it overwrites my documents, music, videos, etc folders | 08:06 |
| Grimm_ | ok , im going to try. Last times everything got pretty messed up , and i am not that tech savy to understand everything , even i have been reading for ages about GRUB's , legacy modes , EFI partitions and whatever else , but i still feel my head can't undrstand all of it :p | 08:07 |
| jnhghy | Nothing_Much: create a folder for it next to your name (I have a folder called RAID) in which you mount the partition... | 08:07 |
| Nothing_Much | Ah thanks | 08:07 |
| wilee-nilee | yeyeman, You ever install lubuntu, it used to have chromium? | 08:07 |
| wafflejock | Grimm_: yeah that's what I'm saying not sure any one person will have their head wrapped around every step but certainly a good place to get help along the way | 08:08 |
| molavy1 | jnhghy: any idea? | 08:08 |
| jnhghy | molavy1: I still don't understand what is the exact issue: you host a website that is public and you can't access it from the localhost? or what? do you also have a gateway? | 08:09 |
| Grimm_ | I got one SSD , split up in one small partition for the windows boot loader , and the rest of the SSD for windows 7 . On the second HDD i have in this machine , i create a GRUB boot partition of 500mb , a root partition , and a swap partition . Does this make sense ? | 08:09 |
| molavy1 | again , i have raw server and want setup visualization on it, i install centos 6.4 as host | 08:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, For what? | 08:10 |
| molavy1 | then i setup libvirt on it and make vm machine | 08:11 |
| Grimm_ | dual boot install of windows 7 and ubuntu 13 . windows on the SSD , and ubuntu on the HDD ? | 08:11 |
| jony_easyrider | I need a user friendly solution how can the users change their SSH password on my server | 08:11 |
| molavy1 | i want setup ubuntu as web server | 08:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, You mention efi earlier how is that related? | 08:11 |
| Nmbr1 | jony_easyrider: do they login via CLI or GUI? | 08:12 |
| roscogruen | ANYONE: want to install linux on an acer aspire V5-122p-0643. secure boot/uefi or something is blocking it. ideas? | 08:12 |
| jnhghy | molavy1: now I undertand... sorry don't know... | 08:12 |
| Grimm_ | i don't think its related , i was just stating that i have been reading a lot about all these things and EFI passed my mind , | 08:12 |
| Nmbr1 | jony_easyrider: if it is CLI why not have them type passwd? | 08:12 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | roscogruen | 08:12 |
| ubottu | roscogruen: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 08:12 |
| Grimm_ | now im using this guide , i think its also applyable for the latest ubuntu ? http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/10/10/dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-12-04-on-a-pc-with-uefi-board-ssd-and-hdd/ | 08:12 |
| wafflejock | !details | molavy1 where are you stuck? | 08:12 |
| ubottu | molavy1 where are you stuck?: 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 ..." | 08:12 |
| molavy1 | but it take to long and i am in installation about 15 minute for each step showing | 08:12 |
| molavy1 | i want install ubuntu version 13.10 , what command output you want know | 08:13 |
| wafflejock | molavy1: are you installing ubuntu server edition or desktop edition? | 08:14 |
| roscogruen | wilee-nilee: what does that mean? !uefi ? | 08:14 |
| wafflejock | roscogruen: the !somethingHere are commands meant for the bot to respond to | 08:14 |
| wilee-nilee | roscogruen, Read what the bot says right after, about uefi, it is a bot prompt | 08:14 |
| wafflejock | !bot | roscogruen | 08:14 |
| ubottu | roscogruen: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 08:14 |
| roscogruen | oh, okay. thank you. i've been wondering | 08:15 |
| roscogruen | lol | 08:15 |
| wafflejock | roscogruen: no worries new to IRC I take it :) | 08:15 |
| roscogruen | quite | 08:15 |
| roscogruen | old user but not frequent | 08:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, uefi is a bit of a mystery to most of us here, just a heads up really. | 08:15 |
| wafflejock | wilee-nilee: truth | 08:16 |
| jony_easyrider | Nmbr1, what is CLI? Those user accounts are for accessing their own folders on the server. The server is like a file transfer server | 08:16 |
| Grimm_ | yeah it seems to be :( and all these UEFI guides i find give different info as all systems seem to be slightly different | 08:16 |
| RaginHam | evening all | 08:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, When it's an OEM they can be for sure. | 08:17 |
| roscogruen | do many people bypass this block easily when moving from Win8 to linux? | 08:17 |
| Nmbr1 | jony_easyrider: CLI is command line interface. I would write a shell script and put it on their desktop that logs them in and issues the passwd command so they can type a new password | 08:18 |
| wafflejock | Grimm_: since you're in murky waters perhaps it's best to pull the SSD while doing the Linux install the do a bootrepair to get grub installed... just an idea | 08:18 |
| scott_w | roscogruen: running ubuntu on a UEFI system? | 08:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | roscogruen: uefi depends a lot on the motherboard manufacturer. For some it's simple, for others it difficult | 08:18 |

| ozgur | hii anybody connect succesufly wireless network with İntel Centrino-N 6300 card? | 08:19 |
| jony_easyrider | Nmbr1, do you recommend to give them a solution with using https://ssh.serverdo.in/ ? | 08:19 |
| Grimm_ | ive tried running a USB with the boot repair disk (burned with unetbootin) , but all it does is show me some options at boot , if i select the boot repair option , it loads ubuntu and nothing happens , no reports of boot repair nothing.. | 08:19 |
| jony_easyrider | Nmbr1, it's safe to use that site? | 08:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, bootrepair is run in the desktop | 08:19 |
| ozgur | iwlwifi driver is very unstable for dhcp or internet speed what can i do ? | 08:20 |
| Grimm_ | ok , should i execute it from the command then ? | 08:20 |
| Grimm_ | console i mean | 08:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | roscogruen: what version of ubuntu are you trying to install? | 08:20 |
| RaginHam | anyone ever updated a network card in a lenovo? Switched out the RT3090 which came in my machine with a ThinkPenguin Atheros AR9285..... my speed tests are amazing. Perfect, consistent speed for over an hour (something I'd never get more than 1 minute worth before). | 08:20 |
| roscogruen | gosh. how could i determine beforehand if i should be making the switch? (will i end up with tons of problems) | 08:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, Is there a bootrepair option in grub now after running it? Is ubuntu installed? | 08:20 |
| roscogruen | 14 i think | 08:21 |
| wafflejock | roscogruen: backup and don't worry | 08:21 |
| Grimm_ | ubuntu is not yet installed , i want to first fresh format all drives and reinstall windows on the SSD as this current install has issues. | 08:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | roscogruen: the version number is on the iso (aything 14.xx) isnt released til next year | 08:21 |
| roscogruen | looks like Grimm_ is having similar issue | 08:21 |
| Grimm_ | i got tons of issues ! :D | 08:22 |
| wafflejock | and softwares only one of em :) | 08:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, Bootrepair would be used to fix grub in general and the boots after all installs. | 08:22 |
| Grimm_ | bloody modern systems what the hell was wrong with old bios :P | 08:22 |
| RaginHam | Only problem, seems this BIOS has whitelisted devices. Keeps giving me a "140 - unsupported wireless device..." on the bootup, but seems to be working after each bootup. | 08:22 |
| Fargone | Ls | 08:23 |
| ozgur | hii anybody connect succesufly wireless network with İntel Centrino-N 6300 card? iwlwifi driver is very unstable for dhcp or internet speed what can i do ? | 08:23 |
| Grimm_ | ok, so i can best format first , reinstall windows on the SSD , unplug the SSD , install linux on the HDD and THEN run boot repair ? | 08:23 |
| roscogruen | hitsujiTMO: i've no idea. not important to me now | 08:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, I have W8.1 on my msdos and 3 linux OS's I'm avoiding the uefi thang as long as I can. | 08:23 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: don't unplug disks | 08:23 |
| wafflejock | Grimm_: yeah basically I was saying if you wanted to avoid tampering with the windows drive in case it had stuff you needed to keep | 08:23 |
| wafflejock | Grimm_: no need to unplug if it's all fresh | 08:23 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: leave them both in at the same time, so that the driver order/list is the same all the way through | 08:23 |
| Grimm_ | i got everything backed up on an external disk , and all external disks are disconnected now . Nothing too loose | 08:24 |
| ikonia | Grimm_: to be honest, no real need to use boot repair, using the tool from within ubuntu and the install media should be enough, you also know you are using the same versions of things like grub as the ubuntu installer then | 08:24 |
| wafflejock | Grimm_: cool | 08:24 |
| roscogruen | Grimm_: are you having a hard time with uefi block? | 08:24 |
| pouet78 | hello, does anyone knows where I can find help abous schroot? | 08:25 |
| Grimm_ | terrible hard time. Last time i tried it , windows would immediatly boot , i could not get the boot loader to appear . Next to that having issues with graphics card and ubuntu , but that got solved with some command (nomodeset or soemthing) | 08:25 |
| roscogruen | is it Win8? | 08:25 |
| RaginHam | pouet: what type of help? | 08:26 |
| Grimm_ | win7 | 08:26 |
| roscogruen | k | 08:26 |
| Grimm_ | aint touching windows 8 with a 50 feet pole hahaha | 08:26 |
| RaginHam | pouet78: tried "man schroot" in terminal yet? | 08:26 |
| roscogruen | it looks like they've put roadblocks up so running linux on top of it is difficult. very difficult | 08:27 |
| pouet78 | I'd like t create a chroot which runs qemu automatically because it is armel on my amd64 | 08:27 |
| Grimm_ | yeah it feels like that they make it as hard as possible . | 08:27 |
| roscogruen | well, at least we know the employees are actually working there now. | 08:28 |
| Grimm_ | but anyway , just to summarize what im going to do , so if anything sounds wrong i hopefully know it before i start this process again. | 08:28 |
| pouet78 | I already created one "from scratch" using mk-sbuild but now I have an armel image that I would likt to transform to a chroot | 08:29 |
| roscogruen | i'm thinking to pull out and not install ubuntu on this new laptop. it is the girlfriend's anyhow | 08:30 |
| pouet78 | I searched man and docs I don't understand how schroot knows to use qemu | 08:30 |
| pouet78 | any clue? | 08:31 |
| roscogruen | Grimm_: and also make sure win8 isn't on any new machine i buy | 08:31 |
| Grimm_ | 1st format all drives . Then install windows 7 on the SSD , just like i would do standard without thinking about dual boot. If thats done , install linux on the HDD via 'something else' and create following partitions : 1= 500mb boot partition , primary , ext4 , mount point = /boot. 2=root partition , primary , ext4 , mount point = / 3=4 gig SWAP ... Device for boot loader /dev/sdb | 08:32 |
| Grimm_ | does that sound sensible ? or am i lost already | 08:32 |
| Serus | Hi | 08:33 |
| Serus | I'm currently booted in a Live usb of ubuntu using UEFI | 08:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm_: if you're using uefi boot you need an efi system partition too (50mb should be enough) | 08:34 |
| Serus | I'm not Grimm_ But I am using UEFI boot | 08:34 |
| Serus | and I already have a UEFI partition | 08:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm_: ahh sorry, if you're installing win 7 then it will create it for you | 08:35 |
| Grimm_ | ok , so i don't need to worry about EFI at all ? i still dont get the EFI thing fully im afraid | 08:35 |
| Guest34904 | i am in greece and i see official docs https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-help/index.html in greek. how can i see it in english? | 08:35 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, So is this a uefi computer from a purchase and it had W8 or a custom build that happens to have a uefi setup? | 08:35 |
| Grimm_ | custom build with a Asus Arock motherboard with UEFI on there when i got it | 08:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | grimm_: instead of an mbr bootstrap, the OS looks for a EFI boot partition. when it finds it, it looks there for the various OS bootstraps. That's the only real difference. | 08:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, I think you can set the bios as legacy and make msdos partition tables and just install like normal. | 08:36 |
| Serus | Kinda the same here. | 08:36 |
| Grimm_ | had windows 7 also preinstalled . machine comes from a site where you put your hardware together , they make the thing , install the windows you want and deliver it like that | 08:36 |
| Serus | Yeah you probably already have an EFI partition then | 08:37 |
| Gnik | Hello IRC world | 08:37 |
| Serus | Same here. | 08:37 |
| Serus | Hi Gnik | 08:37 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, Ah, so the W7 was gpt uefi? | 08:37 |
| Grimm_ | euhm not sure what to answer there | 08:38 |
| Serus | wilee-nilee, probably, it's the case with my laptop atleast | 08:38 |
| Serus | Grimm_, Are you in windows? | 08:38 |
| Grimm_ | yup | 08:38 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, Can you run the bootinfo summary on the bootrepair it would give us any info on gpt? | 08:38 |
| Daxro | Just had an Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS production server become unresponsive, responded to pings no nginx, ssh, etc kinda weird not sure how to investigate this | 08:39 |
| Serus | Ok click on start, then rightclick on computer and then click manage | 08:39 |
| Grimm_ | ok im in computer management | 08:39 |
| Serus | Ok then click on harddrive manager or anything that looks like that | 08:39 |
| Grimm_ | i can try to run the bootinfo summary , if i figure out how to get the bootrepair to work in that ubuntu desktop | 08:39 |
| Grimm_ | disk management? im there | 08:40 |
| Serus | My windows is in dutch so it might not be completely accurate with other languages | 08:40 |
| Grimm_ | i speak dutch , mine is english but i can follow i guess | 08:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | !bootrepair | Grimm_ info on installing it here | 08:40 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, seems like Serus knows how to conform a gpt from windows. | 08:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | !boot-repair | Grimm_ info on installing it here | 08:40 |
| wilee-nilee | confirm | 08:40 |
| Serus | Ok do you have like a 100~200MB partition 1? | 08:40 |
| Grimm_ | 100mb system reserved | 08:40 |
| Grimm_ | on disk 0 | 08:40 |
| Serus | does it have a label? | 08:41 |
| Guest34904 | how can i see official documentation webpage in english? | 08:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair thats info on installing boot repair. | 08:41 |
| Grimm_ | alright thanks for that link , ill read into it in a sec | 08:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: that 100mb is the efi system partition | 08:41 |
| Nmbr1 | i've never used it. | 08:41 |
| Nmbr1 | as a general rule i like to keep anything account related in house | 08:41 |
| pouet78 | Daxro: you should have physical access | 08:41 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, yes I think so too, but it's probably labeled SYSTEM. | 08:41 |
| Grimm_ | im not sure if it has a label , don't know where too look fore | 08:41 |
| Serus | if it's labeled SYSTEM then it's the EFI partition | 08:42 |
| Serus | well it says system reserved so I'm 90% sure you already have an EFI partition. | 08:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: afaik, there's usually no labels on efi partitions even with windows. | 08:42 |
| Grimm_ | it just says " system reserved 100mb NTFS , healthy " | 08:42 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest34904, try bringing it up then add /en to the end | 08:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm_: of its NTFS then its not efi system partition | 08:43 |
| === scott_w_ is now known as scott_w | ||
| Serus | Grimm_, NTFS? Hmm, I'm not completely sure if that's EFI. | 08:43 |
| Gnik | Can I remove win7 off my laptop and make ubuntu my only OS? | 08:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | gnik: yes | 08:43 |
| Serus | Gnik, yes, if you want to. | 08:43 |
| Gnik | how? is there a tut? | 08:44 |
| Serus | It's really easy. | 08:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm_: are you in the live cd now? | 08:44 |
| Serus | Do you have ubuntu installed or are you in a live environment? | 08:44 |
| Grimm_ | no , im still in windows 7 , i havent started to format or anything yet , tried to figure out what road to take before i start walking | 08:44 |
| Serus | I see | 08:44 |
| Gnik | I booted off a USB | 08:44 |
| Grimm_ | im going to take my tablet in a second , to get on the IRC there , while i start the process on the machine im currently typing on | 08:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm_: can you boot the live cd. there's a few tools there that can show us exactly what you have | 08:45 |
| wilee-nilee | Gnik, This computer ever have W8 a uefi setup? | 08:45 |
| Serus | Ok Gnik are you familiar with linux? | 08:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm_: theres an irc client on the live cd (or at least you can install one) | 08:45 |
| Gnik | I used kali linux but not alot | 08:45 |
| Gnik | so im a noob | 08:45 |
| Gnik | XD | 08:45 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, I installed hexchat on live usb | 08:46 |
| Serus | Xchat* | 08:46 |
| Grimm_ | ok , is it sensible to first already install Windows 7 on the SSD as i would normally do without considering the dual boot ? If thats done ill plug in the liveusb for ubuntu and get into that enviroment ? | 08:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ahh, so it needs to be installed, but at least you can install it | 08:46 |
| Serus | Gnik, that's OK, how is your understanding on computers? | 08:46 |
| kubanc | Hellow! I get this error after i installed extplorer in /var/www folder: failed to spawn mysql main process unable to execute: permission denied | 08:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm_: its easier to if windows is installed first. | 08:47 |
| Serus | Grimm_, Yes, ALWAYS install windows first. Windows "breaks" the old bootloader. | 08:47 |
| Grimm_ | allright i start with that first. Nothing special i have to consider when installing windows ? | 08:47 |
| Serus | Nope, just keep spamming Next | 08:47 |
| Grimm_ | ok | 08:47 |
| Serus | well | 08:47 |
| Serus | you might consider not taking up the complete harddrive | 08:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Grimm_, If you are building partitions it is a manual install. | 08:48 |
| Serus | since resizing partitions can take a very long time. | 08:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | kubanc: I'm not sure extplorer is even being developed any more. might be an idea to try an alternative | 08:48 |
| Grimm_ | I generally use the entire SSD for windows as i use windows often for gaming and some more heavy 3D modelling software | 08:49 |
| Gnik | When I remove win7 will it also delete all the files/games/programs and viruses ? | 08:49 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, What device should I select for bootloader installation? The EFI partition, or just /dev/sda? | 08:49 |
| Serus | Gnik, everything will be gone. | 08:49 |
| Gnik | thats good | 08:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: if you see that then you're not in UEFI mode install | 08:49 |
| Grimm_ | its a 128gig SSD drive , and next to that i got a 1TB HDD , that i wanted to split up in one part of 100gig for Ubuntu , and the rest of that drive in NTFS as a "data partition" that all OS could reach | 08:50 |
| veryhappy | hi guys, can i anywhere get the bfq scheduler for ubuntu? cause i'm using this scheduler on my android phone and i'm very happy about it but linus torvalds "doesn't want to have to do with more than one kernel" like he stated. | 08:50 |
| Serus | Gnik, are you completely sure you want that? | 08:50 |
| kubanc | hitsujiTMO: well it broke my http server | 08:50 |
| kubanc | hitsujiTMO: i think permissions to my folders changed | 08:50 |
| Gnik | yes, im 100% sure | 08:50 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, this command "dmesg | grep "EFI v"" gives me the EFI version I'm running. | 08:50 |
| Serus | Gnik, Ok, you where in a live USB right? | 08:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: whats the output of: efibootmgr | 08:51 |
| Serus | let me check | 08:51 |
| Serus | currently not installed :p | 08:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: you may need to do: sudo efibootmgr | 08:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: install it onto the live cd | 08:52 |
| Gnik | When I turn on my laptop it gives me a choice to boot up in win7 or ubuntu, thats all i know Serus | 08:52 |
| ZujkisNx | Hi, I'm trying to run clojure server and getting an error: "Could not bind to port: XXXXX".. do I need to configure something in OS? | 08:52 |
| Daxro | pouet78: Why would I need physical access to a server ? | 08:52 |
| Serus | Gnik, I see, and you are in ubuntu? | 08:53 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, installation failed O.o | 08:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | gnik: if you want ubuntu solely, i would suggest just backing everything up and doing aclean install | 08:53 |
| Serus | should I do a apt-get update first? | 08:53 |
| Gnik | yes im in ubuntu now | 08:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: yup | 08:53 |
| svector | what shall I configure so that programs shall have the file access permissions they need? Eclipse says it can access android sdk's adb... | 08:54 |
| Gnik | clean install? | 08:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | gnik: as in wipe your current install of windows and ubuntu and install a fresh copy of ubuntu | 08:54 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, It's in use by the installer >.< | 08:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus :P | 08:55 |
| Gnik | and how do i do that? | 08:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | gnik: tell the install disk. it will give you that option when installing | 08:56 |
| Serus | requesting permission to paste 8 lines of output | 08:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: paste.ubuntu.com | 08:56 |
| Gnik | Can i do it via a USB? | 08:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | !usb | gnik yes you can! | 08:56 |
| ubottu | gnik yes you can!: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 08:56 |

| devilskin | I moved files from a ext3 file system to fat32 system and burned it to dvd and both comes up with files damaged. I know this because I md5sum the pictures on the source drive the ext3 drive and when I check them from this md5sum I get fails I get different files that fail when I do the backup again... does anyone know what I can do to get the files to another file system intacted? | 08:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: cool, so you're probably in uefi install so. did it actually ask you where to install grub to? | 08:57 |
| devilskin | what should I do? | 08:57 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, uh, what install type? I selected manual | 08:58 |
| Serus | I want to make sure nothing gets overwritten :) | 08:59 |
| Serus | I mean I selected "Something else" | 08:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: when you asked me where to install the bootloader to... did the installer ask you that? | 08:59 |
| Serus | yes, it asks that at the partition scheme | 09:00 |
| Woodsman | Does anyone in here have any idea why 250,000 insertions into a standard binary heap would complete half as quickly as 125,000 insertions followed by 125,000 deletions? I thought insertions were O(log(N)) and deletions were O(1), so it doesn't make sense that twice as many expensive operations takes half as long | 09:00 |

| Serus | hitsujiTMO, sending you a screenshot in a sec | 09:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: that must be a bug in the installer then. it can only install the bootloader to the efi system partition. lol, was just going to ask you for one. | 09:01 |

| AndroUser | test | 09:03 |
| AndroUser | dmmed\ | 09:03 |
| RaginHam | I'll try and address my problem again. | 09:03 |
| RaginHam | Lenovo's darned blacklist wireless devices. Updating BIOS my only option? | 09:04 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, WOW the site is SLOW, I need to tell my friend to restart his server. | 09:04 |
| Ben64 | RaginHam: doesn't seem like an ubuntu issue, maybe try ##hardware ? | 09:05 |
| RaginHam | The card seems to be working without a hitch... but I get the 104 - unsupported wireless on boot. | 09:05 |
| RaginHam | k | 09:05 |
| RaginHam | thanks Ben. | 09:05 |
| Grimm3 | ok cool , i got on the irc on my tablet pc , im going to format my SSD and the HDD , install windows 7 on the SSD like nothing special | 09:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: :) yeah that looks to be a bug in the installer. i would leave it as it is | 09:06 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, Anyway you should be able to see it after a while. | 09:06 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, I can also select /dev/sda1 | 09:06 |
| rich | why does ubuntu suck so much? | 09:06 |
| Serus | rich, I think this is not the right channel to talk about why ubuntu is bad. | 09:06 |
| rich | ney jsut kidding im using ubuntu now for years... | 09:07 |
| Serus | oh lol | 09:07 |
| rich | but im not very happy....with it. the problem is im not very happy with any distro | 09:07 |
| === Daniel is now known as Guest26601 | ||

| * Serus was going to use linux mint until UEFI destroyed his linux dreams. | 09:08 | |
| hitsujiTMO | rich this is a support channel, if you want to have a chat hop in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:08 |
| RaginHam | Vanilla Ubi? Tried Kubuntu or Xubuntu perhaps? | 09:08 |
| pouet78 | Daxro, To understand why ping is ok and othe services are not | 09:09 |
| Serus | To be honest I'm sceptical ubuntu will even run on my UEFI system. Seeing I tried to get that working for 24hours straight. | 09:09 |
| Grimm3 | never loose hope young padawan , many have succceeded before you ! | 09:09 |
| svector | I can't copy files to directories in / like /opt. how do i give the privilege to do so without going to the terminal and using sudo? | 09:10 |
| ikonia | Serus: I'm sure it will run as an OS, getting the bootloader setup can be a problem depending on your EFI implementation provided by your vendor | 09:10 |
| Grimm3 | maar ik begrijp je wel , erg demotiverend als het zo moeilijk gaat toch | 09:10 |
| ikonia | svector: you put the user in the right group or open the permissions on /opt | 09:10 |
| Serus | Anyway, hitsujiTMO, /dev/sda or /dev/sda1? | 09:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Serus, We see people dual boot on a uefi everyday here. its just a bit of work for some. | 09:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus /dev/sda | 09:10 |
| Serus | Grimm3, Yeah, but let's stick to English :) | 09:10 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, Got it. | 09:11 |
| Grimm3 | oki | 09:11 |
| Serus | wilee-nilee, a "bit" :p | 09:11 |
| svector | ikonia, chmod or chown? | 09:11 |
| ikonia | svector: depends which you do | 09:11 |
| Daxro | pouet78: But how would physical access help, when I have ssh access now ? | 09:12 |
| ikonia | svector: could be one, both, neither, depending on your approach | 09:12 |
| Serus | how big should I make the swap partition? I have 12GB ram and I tend to never shut down my laptop. Just closing it. | 09:12 |
| Grimm3 | ok stupid little question , but whats the IRC command if you want to send a message to another user in this window , without private chat (like you answer to me and i see it in red?) | 09:12 |
| Ben64 | Serus: do you ever want to hibernate? | 09:12 |
| svector | ikonia, I just want to be able to move files to any directory that I want | 09:12 |
| pouet78 | Daxro, Oh thought ssh were KO | 09:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: if you want hibernation then same as ram, if not 4gb should be enough | 09:13 |
| wilee-nilee | !tab | Grimm3 | 09:13 |
| ubottu | Grimm3: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 09:13 |
| svector | Grimm3, their name followed by comma or : | 09:13 |
| pouet78 | Daxro, you only have nginx KO? | 09:13 |
| svector | Grimm3, nickname | 09:13 |
| Serus | Ben64, That's closing my laptop and it will go in a low power state right? | 09:13 |
| Daxro | pouet78: It was during the non responsiveness for about 2 hours | 09:13 |
| Grimm3 | svector, lets try that | 09:13 |
| svector | Grimm3, :) | 09:13 |
| Ben64 | svector: the ability to move files wherever you want anytime is not very secure at all | 09:13 |
| MasterOfDisaster | I'm having a problem with polkit-kde-1, its agent doesn't register itself properly: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6363652/ | 09:13 |
| Grimm3 | that worked ? Sweet , learned something new again | 09:13 |
| ikonia | svector: if that's what you want without sudo - you're going to break your system, you need to apply thought to your file systems | 09:13 |
| Daxro | pouet78: Everything was not responding apart from pings, got a data center dude to reboot it | 09:14 |
| Ben64 | Serus: depends on your settings, hibernate is shutdown + save ram to HD to resume where you were at | 09:14 |
| Daxro | But not sure what caused it | 09:14 |
| svector | Ben64, so what is a good approach to move around files in nautilus? | 09:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | If you mention somesone name Grimm3, in a message, no matter where you put it, most irc clients will ping that user | 09:14 |
| pouet78 | Daxro, ok so check in logs i you see anything special before reboot | 09:14 |
| Serus | That's what I currently do in windows 7, but my swapfile isn't nearly as big. Iirc I only have 3GB swap on windows. | 09:14 |
| Ben64 | svector: why would you want to move files randomly around? what are you trying to accomplish? | 09:14 |
| Daxro | Every service we use was fine as far as the logs go | 09:14 |
| Grimm3 | ok cool , really handy to know | 09:15 |
| svector | ikonia, that's right but that means I have to use the terminal all the time | 09:15 |
| ikonia | svector: no it doesn't | 09:15 |
| Daxro | Apart from about 2 hour gap in ever log kinda like the drive was read only for a while | 09:15 |
| pouet78 | Daxro, what about system (/var/log/syslog) | 09:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: closing lid defaults to suspend. you can change that to hibernation if you can get hibernation working | 09:15 |
| Serus | Ok, then can somebody tell me the differences between them? | 09:16 |
| svector | Ben64, i wanted to move some files to /opt and couldn't do it in nautilus ... | 09:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus, windows has a seperate hibernation file to the swap | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | svector: you were already given the answer to that specific thing | 09:16 |
| svector | Ben64, can you tell me how to accomplish that? | 09:17 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, I see,I guess I'll google the differences for now. | 09:17 |
| Ben64 | <ikonia> svector: you put the user in the right group or open the permissions on /opt | 09:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus, in suspend the laptop is in a low sleep, but still somewhat running. hibernation is more like a shutdown, ram is dumped to the swap file. | 09:18 |
| asdasd | svector: if you know password, try alt+f2 'gksu nautilus' | 09:18 |
| svector | Ben64, on properties it says "You are not an owner so cannot change settings" | 09:19 |
| Ben64 | svector: right. the easiest way to change owner is from the command line | 09:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | svector: what they're trying to tell you to do is create a user group. add your user to that group. chown the /opt directory to root:that group. then chmod g+ws the /opt directory. then relog and you can safely do what you want | 09:20 |
| Grimm3 | one last IRC noob question , can i turn these join quit messages off with a command ? | 09:20 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, I guess to enable hibernation the only thing I can do is 12GB swap right? | 09:20 |
| Daxro | pouet78: There is 1 hour gap in /var/log/syslog | 09:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: its a bit more envolved then that, but you should at least give it 12gb swap if you do want to use it | 09:21 |
| Serus | 12288 is 12GB? or 12000? | 09:21 |
| Serus | seeing a megabyte is a million bytes here. | 09:22 |
| DJones | Grimm3: Which IRC client are you using | 09:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate 12288MB | 09:22 |
| DanielFew | Yes, nickname worked this time :P | 09:22 |
| Grimm3 | androIRC on my android tablet | 09:22 |
| Grimm3 | its different for every client ? then i know to google on this client specificly | 09:23 |
| Daxro | pouet78: Anyway cheers for the help, My manager is being an arse today so I cannot be bothered to help him anymore. | 09:23 |
| svector | hitsujiTMO, thanks a lot | 09:23 |
| svector | Ben64, I now get it. Thanks | 09:23 |
| DanielFew | If I wanted a user jailed in SFTP to say /home/network/directory, but needed them to be able to execute a file in SSH that's located in /home/network, what's the best way to go about doing this? | 09:23 |
| DJones | Grimm3: Grimm3 Yeah, every client is different | 09:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: in that partition tool 1 MB = 1048576 B ... but 1G = 1000 MB ... its a really confused partitioner | 09:23 |
| DanielFew | Oh, and the file they execute has to be able to interact with everything in /home/network and /home/network/directory | 09:24 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, yeah lol | 09:24 |
| DJones | Grimm3: Looks like there should be an option in the settings menu, buts that about all I can suggest | 09:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | serus: i normally setup may partitions with cfdisk, or cgdisk instead. much more sane | 09:25 |
| Serus | Can you help me find the right keyboard layout? | 09:26 |

| wafflejock | buu: what program | 09:29 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, Yeah, but I need it a little bit different, I normally can type these: ḿ ś | 09:29 |
| wafflejock | buu: is which finding it? | 09:29 |
| pouet78 | buu, command-not-found package | 09:30 |
| buu | Oh, my fault! | 09:30 |
| buu | I had a bad alias, fixed! | 09:30 |
| buu | But for the sake of curiosity, what does trigger that message/ | 09:30 |
| buu | And how does it know?! | 09:30 |
| simonsimcity | Hi, all | 09:30 |
| wafflejock | buu: a package name is not necessarily a binary name and it may not be in the path | 09:30 |
| Grimm3 | so i am in mu UEFI setup , and i found this setting 'launch EFI shell from filesystem device' , is that something usefull for my quest of installng windows 7 and ubuntu ? | 09:30 |
| wim66 | Serus: Engels (US, internationaal met dode toetsen) | 09:31 |
| wafflejock | buu: not sure exactly about it triggering the apt-get part but basically it's just looking for executable scripts and binaries on your path that match | 09:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: set it to dutch for now. you can easily change it later | 09:31 |
| buu | command_not_found_handle | 09:31 |
| Serus | wim66, I'm in english ubuntu ^^, but that isn't completely the right one. | 09:31 |
| simonsimcity | I have a problem that seems to be quite strange ... I installed a fresh VM with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and set up the network env ... | 09:32 |
| simonsimcity | Once in a while, the DHCP client jumps in and changes the IP address back .... | 09:32 |
| ItsMeLenny | i'm trying to compile http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ on 12.04 precise and i get configure: error: Cannot find proper GTK+ version and checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.1... no, any help would be much appreciated | 09:32 |
| simonsimcity | after waiting for maybe 3min, it switches back, to what I configured as static-IP ... | 09:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: ask about the layout in #ubuntu-nl | 09:33 |
| simonsimcity | I just see, that sendmail is active at that time ... | 09:33 |
| simonsimcity | Anyone had this problem before? | 09:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | simonsimcity: how are you setting the ip? | 09:33 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, OK :) | 09:34 |
| simonsimcity | hitsujiTMO: I updated the /etc/network/interfaces file and restarted network-interface. | 09:35 |
| simonsimcity | Would you like to see a copy of that? | 09:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | simonsimcity: what ubuntu is this? server or desktop? | 09:35 |
| simonsimcity | hitsujiTMO: Ubuntu Server | 09:35 |

| Grimm3 | im in the windows 7 install menu , just to be sure , i take the x64 architecture , not the x86 ? | 09:36 |
| Ben64 | Grimm3: windows 7 install menu? | 09:37 |
| Grimm3 | yeah fresh install of windows before i will install ubuntu , like i was saying earlier | 09:37 |
| Grimm3 | just dont want to mess up here alreay | 09:37 |
| Ben64 | well you should ask ##windows about windows stuff | 09:37 |
| Serus | Grimm3, most of the time it depends on the RAM you have | 09:37 |
| Grimm3 | 8 gig ddr3 ? | 09:38 |
| simonsimcity | hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/AxnbS0kb | 09:38 |
| Grimm3 | ben64, im asking this here as i am in the process of installing windows 7 AND ubuntu on this machine with UEFI setup , and ive had a very hard time failing at this in the past , so i rather ask everything here now to be sure , please dont feel offennded | 09:40 |
| Serus | Grimm3, x64 | 09:40 |
| Grimm3 | ok thx | 09:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | simonsimcity: that eth0:1 looks wrong. why is it a different network? you using bridged networking or nat? | 09:41 |
| simonsimcity | hitsujiTMO: I use NAT. But I can't see what this does to the problem here. This network is stable. It's just eth0, that switches back to the ip-address this machine had during installation of Ubuntu. | 09:42 |
| simonsimcity | I also have another machine with exactly the same setup (different Ubuntu-version) that has the same network-settings. I don't have that kind of problems there... | 09:42 |
| Grimm3 | in the partition table , it now created 100mb system reserved partition , and the rest of that SSD is fully for windows , primary. Is that ok , do i have to create that EFI thing here already or no worries ? | 09:42 |
| simonsimcity | ->network-setup I mean :) | 09:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | simonsimcity: have you installed network-manager or anything else similar? | 09:43 |
| veryhappy | hey guys, i know you're all reading and writing a lot and might miss something, but please take of this question that i already wrote before a while: can i anywhere get the bfq scheduler for ubuntu? cause i'm using this scheduler on my android phone and i'm very happy about it but linus torvalds "doesn't want to have to do with more than one kernel" like he stated. | 09:43 |
| veryhappy | thanks | 09:43 |
| simonsimcity | hitsujiTMO: If it was installed by default, yes :) Haven't installed anything like that by knowing ... | 09:44 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, It's installed, what should I do now? | 09:44 |
| === asdasd is now known as rikitiki | ||
| hitsujiTMO | simonsimcity: can you comment out the eth0 and eth0:1 completely and see if it gets an ip after rebooting | 09:45 |
| Serus | answering my own question: "reboot" | 09:45 |
| Serus | Awesome it got added to the EFI boot menu | 09:45 |
| Serus | Other distros can learn from this. (Looking at you linux mint) | 09:45 |
| Grimm3 | serus, im at that partition table to install windows , anything special i have to look here in order to install ubuntu later ? it located 100mb syste reserved and the rest of the SSD is the main partition to install windows on. Nothing ele i got to fix here now ? | 09:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: if you want you can customise the efi boot menu entry (change it from ubuntu) | 09:46 |
| Grimm3 | second HDD is just unallocated space for the moment | 09:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm3: just 2 partitions? | 09:47 |
| simonsimcity | hitsujiTMO: nope - just the loopback-network that's loaded now ... | 09:47 |
| ddaaa | guys, how do I change the default apps in ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| ddaaa | they keep reverting back whenever I restart my computer | 09:48 |
| Grimm3 | currently for the install of windows first . disk 0 partition 1 = 100mb system reserved , disk 0 partition 2 = 111.7gig primary , disk 1 unallocated space 931gig (this drive will get one partition for ubuntu , and another 500gig partition for data acesible from all os) | 09:49 |
| Grimm3 | or should i make those partitions for ubuntu now already ? | 09:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | simonsimcity: hmm, odd issue so, does the issue happen with just the eth0:1 commonented out? | 09:49 |
| k3rv1n | Can someone who's running 13.10 do me a favor and run this?... dpkg -S `ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-datetime-service | grep libical.so.1 | cut -f3 -d' '` | head -1 | 09:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | simonsimcity: or does it happen if you set the name of the virtual interface to eth0:0 instead of eth0:1 | 09:50 |
| k3rv1n | I'm trying to track a bug that's preventing my clock applet from displaying | 09:50 |
| Serus | Grimm3, which OS will you be using more? | 09:50 |
| Serus | Depending on that make the windows partition smaller or bigger. | 09:50 |
| k3rv1n | it seems my indicator-datetime-service is link against libical.so.0 and also libical.so.1 but my Ubuntu cames with libical.so.1 only | 09:51 |
| Grimm3 | hard to say , both of them , windows for gaming and heavy software like video editing or 3d modelling , linux for 'daily' computing , like writing , internet | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Grimm3: blender is good for 3d modelling etc | 09:51 |
| Grimm3 | so i thought to allocate the entire SSD for windows , as the more demanding and large software would run from windows | 09:51 |
| Serus | Grimm3, Then I would make windows bigger. | 09:52 |
| Serus | Oh you have 2 harddrives | 09:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | grimm3: if windows is not making a 3rd partition then your installing as mbr not efi. leave ubuntu set up it's own partitions | 09:52 |
| Grimm3 | yup , its the entire SSD now for windows | 09:52 |
| Grimm3 | ok windows is not making that 3h partition. so i dont allocate anything yet for ubuntu , we will deal with that when i try to install ubuntu ? | 09:52 |
| Serus | Grimm3, Yes. | 09:53 |
| Grimm3 | cool , installing windows started , and now for a smoke | 09:54 |
| Serus | Grimm3, Just do as you said, windows on SSD and ubuntu on the other hdd | 09:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | grimm3: yeah, worry about the ubuntu partitions when your installing ubuntu. you can't specify linux filesystems in the windows installer so there's no point in setting it now | 09:54 |
| Serus | I'm rebooting. | 09:54 |
| Serus | brb | 09:54 |
| Grimm3 | allright , damm you guys are smart | 09:54 |
| Grimm3 | im quite tech savy if it comes to windows , and my entire family knows when to reach me when something is wrong on windows , but if i get to these things , i feel such a dumb nooob | 09:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | grimm3: you learn from doing it again and again :P making mistakes is the best way to learn | 09:57 |
| Grimm3 | thats true ! | 09:58 |
| Grimm3 | noooooooooooo | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | why not ubuntu and windows on the ssd with user data, /var and swap on the platter based drive? | 09:59 |
| Grimm3 | windows cannot install required files , the file may be corrupt or missing | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ant windows swap and %temp% on the platter too | 09:59 |
| Grimm3 | so my usb disk didnt write properly | 09:59 |
| Grimm3 | damm you windows , damm you unetbootin | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Grimm3: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 10:00 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, IT WORKED!!!!! | 10:00 |
| Grimm3 | nope :( lets do that now | 10:00 |
| Serus | WOOT | 10:00 |
| Grimm3 | Omg your in serus ? you actually have them both running ? | 10:00 |

| Serus | But I think so | 10:01 |
| Grimm3 | so there is ligth at the end of the tunnel ! hopefully.. | 10:01 |

| Serus | Gnash or adobe? (I care about what works best) | 10:03 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, Yes. | 10:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus the tick key is acting as a modifier key | 10:03 |
| Serus | I know | 10:04 |

| Serus | I can also mix languages on the raspberry pi | 10:04 |
| marlo | \j #showoff-db | 10:04 |

| vasislav | switched hard drive to something with ath9k driver (atheros card) and its perfect | 10:09 |

| lecoeus | it's a free replacement for flash from the fsf but it is not perfect | 10:09 |

| olf-folks | ok long story short i installed ubuntu server followed by xinit and openbox my sound is not working | 10:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | vasislav: that's an old enough wireless card so you're prob on a decent driver for it. For issues like that it's simplest to just replace the card for one with better linux support | 10:11 |
| olf-folks | i installed alsa-utils when i go to run alsamixer it says cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 10:11 |

| cheesecakes | Kartagis: is ubuntu another partition on the same system? | 11:23 |
| eraggo | pers3us: lsusb is one way (if them are usb storages) | 11:23 |
| Kartagis | cheesecakes: yes | 11:23 |
| Kartagis | cheesecakes: dualboot | 11:23 |
| cheesecakes | Kartagis: do you have auto -login enabled? | 11:23 |
| cheesecakes | Kartagis: if not you can change the window manager while logging in | 11:24 |
| Kartagis | cheesecakes: sadly, yes | 11:24 |
| pers3us | eraggo: This shows a lot of stuffs which aren't additional storages. | 11:24 |
| cheesecakes | Kartagis: otherwise, change to another tty(ctrl+alt+f1), then login using your name and password | 11:24 |
| cheesecakes | Kartagis: then run this command:service lightdm restart | 11:24 |
| pers3us | eraggo: Which is kind of expected, as some internal devices are also connected via usb | 11:24 |
| cheesecakes | Kartagis: i think that will log you out | 11:24 |

| Kartagis | or recovery | 11:25 |

| Danato | hitsujiTMO: give me a minute and ill be back | 12:22 |
| geirha | debnoob: setting uid/username during mount is something you do with FAT and NTFS, since they don't support unix permissions. ext4 support unix permissions, so you change the ownership and permissions using chown and chmod to the desired ownership and permissions | 12:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: looks like its a mbr partition layout allright ... just stuck with a gpt signature | 12:23 |
| suigeneris | sorry, baby cried | 12:23 |
| suigeneris | ActionParsnip: have to quit irssi then, just a sec | 12:23 |
| geirha | debnoob: The sudo chown command I showed earlier is a one-time thing. Afterwards, it will be owned by your user. | 12:24 |
| debnoob | geirha: but wouldn't that need root | 12:24 |
| debnoob | geirha: doesn't udisk remove the mount point once its unmounted | 12:24 |
| cheesecakes | suigeneris: so any progress? | 12:25 |
| suigeneris | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 12:25 |

| geirha | debnoob: After doing the sudo chown on it (while it's mounted), next time you mount it, it will have that (new) ownership still. | 12:27 |

| debnoob | geirha: It worked! thanks, didn't think the folder would hold the permission once unmounted. Looks like a feature of ext | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | suigeneris: tried something like XFCE as a desktop? You can install it by installing xfce4 package | 12:30 |
| geirha | debnoob: This is common for unix-y filesystems. It's FAT and NTFS and similar that are exceptions | 12:30 |
| Rory | Emay: Waiting | 12:30 |

| debnoob | geirha: been a win guy for so long :) | 12:31 |
| geirha | debnoob: Since they don't support unix permissions and ownership, you instead say during mounting that all files shall be owned by foo and have mode 644 etc | 12:31 |
| suigeneris | ActionParsnip: no, not yet. I'm now trying to recover by doing what you are telling me. let me try that | 12:31 |

| Hounddog | Hello, i am not able to start my desktop anymore after trying to install fglrx and removing it again... | 12:32 |
| debnoob | geirha: my thought was the permission of mountpoint is only stored on the root filesystem. but now i know. | 12:33 |
| Hounddog | its directly login me in qt commqndline | 12:33 |
| Emay | Rory: I had 1st tried to install via USB & CD. At the 2nd install screen my USB KB stops working. I also tried via windows which fail short way through install (the log is from the windows install). | 12:33 |
| Rory | Emay: Do you mean using Wubi? | 12:34 |

| hounndo_2 | it is directly login me in to the commmandline and am a bit lost how to restore things again | 12:35 |
| Rory | Emay: It looks like Wubi is failing to download the disk image somehow. I'd recommend doing a "real" install (booting from a USB or CD) rather than using Wubi, because it can cause weird problems later down the line, has restrictions on total install size, and has theoretical performance issues | 12:35 |
| Rory | !md5 | Emay can you verify your installation .iso before burning it? | 12:35 |
| ubottu | Emay can you verify your installation .iso before burning it?: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 12:35 |
| Emay | Rory: I did try via USB & CD install 1st. But my KB only works in the 1st part (with options like check disc integrity) then loads another screen with the options again to try or install, this is where my KB stops working | 12:37 |

One of the options will be to verify the integrity of the install medium | 13:03 |

| user82 | does anyone have experience with wine regedit? do i need to point it to the windows path of the mounted drive, to mess with a existing windows registry? | 13:24 |
| hounndo_2 | Discordian93:thats when i gave up and tried removing it again and now i am stuck on console | 13:25 |
| dol | Booga? | 13:26 |
| Booga | Yes | 13:26 |
| dol | have you checked my config file? | 13:26 |
| hounndo_2 | reconfigure xserver-xorg also just tells me it is not installed | 13:26 |
| Discordian93 | hounndo_2: sorry man :(. I specifically bought nvidia because it works well with linux, have ran ubuntu for a year with no trouble until a couple of days ago. I guess you'll have to backup and reinstall, sometimes the xserver gets completely totalled and there's no way to restore it, happened to me a couple of times when i ran ATI | 13:27 |
| hounndo_2 | would be great if anyone would be willing to help | 13:27 |
| Booga | Hav u checked it under the terminal command | 13:27 |

| dol | Booga, I guess you didn't get my question. My question is just how to convert the rate to another rate in asound.conf | 13:33 |
| McManiaC | any idea why my tmux wont show 256 colors in vim properly, even though i already setup TERM=screen-256color (shown by echo $TERM)? | 13:33 |

| dol | hitsujiTMO, do you know how I can convert the rate in asound.conf? | 13:34 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: If you are unable to install pastebinit with apt-get, but you aren't running running another other package management utility, there's something wrong with your system. Try rebooting and installing pastebinit. | 13:34 |

| wedgetail | Hi guys, i need help. i installed Ubuntu studio using Windows USB Creator. I have used it a few times and now when start it up it asks for a password?? I did not use a password. Anybody know this problem?? | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, you sure you didn't set a pwd on the usb? | 13:40 |
| cfhowlett | and what are you doing to invoke the pwd request? | 13:40 |
| wedgetail | yes cf i am sure | 13:41 |
| goldstar | hi guys, in my applications, when hovering over a menu item, either nothing shows or the menu drops down but no text. Pls advice | 13:41 |
| goldstar | i am using saucy | 13:41 |
| hounndo_2 | adamk:was trying to use fglrx | 13:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | hounndo_2: the radeon driver doesn't support your gpu. you were probably running fglrx in the first place | 13:41 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, so in the LIVE session, you get a password request | 13:42 |
| wedgetail | just loading cf | 13:42 |
| hounndo_2 | hitsujiTMO:could be. | 13:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | hounndo_2: what version of ubuntu is this? | 13:42 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, you mean on booting the USB? | 13:42 |
| wedgetail | yes | 13:42 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, so you have NOT installed studio to your HDD, right? | 13:43 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ? | 13:43 |
| hounndo_2 | 12.04.3 LTS | 13:43 |
| wedgetail | yes after booting right as the program is about to start at the desktop | 13:43 |
| goldstar | anyone? | 13:43 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, by any chance, are you using the windows installer/wubi? | 13:43 |
| wedgetail | no, not on hdd | 13:43 |
| wedgetail | no | 13:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | hounndo_2: can you try sudo apt-get install --reinstall fglrx failing that you may need a later driver | 13:44 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, not normal behavior. | 13:44 |
| wedgetail | i know i installed yesterday and have used it a dozen times, but now it wants a password?? | 13:45 |
| hounndo_2 | adamk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6364717/ | 13:45 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, I'm behind the great firewall, so my speeds are throttle. search ubuntu + live + session + password OR wipe the USB and create a new one | 13:45 |
| hounndo_2 | hitsujiTMO:just a moment | 13:45 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Did you modify that by hand? It's a typical xorg.conf file generated by aticonfig, but with radeo ninstead of fglrx. | 13:45 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, wait, do you have persistence on the USB? were you running update or something? | 13:46 |
| wedgetail | will do cf, thanks for your help and have a good day | 13:46 |
| hounndo_2 | i did not modify anything there | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, or if you shutdown improperly that would make it act funky | 13:46 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Well someone/something did :-) | 13:46 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Change that file so that it loads the fglrx driver instead of the radeon driver. | 13:46 |
| wedgetail | i do have persistance, but no updates yet | 13:46 |

| User1985 | Hello folks | 13:47 |
| wedgetail | did a proper shut down. always do as i am fussy about that | 13:47 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, yeah, you really have to be careful with not pulling the USB before it's COMPLETELY exited and shutdown. otherwise strange things happen | 13:47 |
| User1985 | I desperately need some help to mount a NTFS partition :s | 13:47 |
| hounndo_2 | adamk just reinstalled fglrx also and rebooting | 13:47 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, so maybe actually install US to the HDD? | 13:47 |
| hounndo_2 | and back to commandline | 13:47 |
| hounndo_2 | ... | 13:47 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Just make sure that xorg.conf file says to use the fglrx driver and not the radeon driver. | 13:48 |
| cfhowlett | wedgetail, or if you want to only test further, install virtualbox on windows, and put US in the virtual machine | 13:48 |
| hounndo_2 | adamk:did that | 13:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | hounndo_2: check the xorg.conf again | 13:48 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: So pastebin your new /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. | 13:48 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: And xorg.conf file. | 13:48 |

| adamk | hitsujiTMO: Let's wait till he's actually using the fglrx driver before we tell him he might need a newer one. | 13:49 |
| wedgetail | i will try the search as you suggested. thanks cf | 13:49 |
| cfhowlett | User1985, reboot windows and shut it down properly. It's only in hibernate so ubuntu won't mess with it | 13:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | adamk: sorry your right | 13:49 |
| User1985 | cfhowlett : here's the thing. I do not have windows installed and I cannot for some reason. | 13:50 |
| cfhowlett | User1985, (and I hate myself already for asking ...) what? why? | 13:50 |
| hounndo_2 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6364741/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/6364764/ | 13:51 |
| cfhowlett | User1985, but you DID have windows at some point, right? format the HDD and reinstall. | 13:51 |
| cfhowlett | format to kill any last windows artifacts | 13:51 |
| User1985 | Yesterday, I did a clean install of windows on a dell XPS 14 and this morning, it refused to boot. | 13:51 |
| cfhowlett | User1985, I'm betting UEFI issues. the fact that you have NTFS means you had windows and STILL have the windows partition. | 13:52 |
| cfhowlett | !uefi | 13:52 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 13:52 |
| User1985 | Dell told me this morning they will change the HDD because it might be dead but still, I see the partitions in Ubuntu live and I need to access them so that I can backup my date. | 13:52 |
| hounndo_2 | hitsujiTMO: adamk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6364741/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/6364764/ | 13:52 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Well at least you're attempting to use the fglrx driver now... But it's encountering a serious crash. | 13:53 |
| hounndo_2 | jup | 13:53 |
| User1985 | Yes, I still have them, but some reason, it won't boot and whenever I try to reinstall Windows, the HDD doesn't show. | 13:53 |
| cfhowlett | User1985, so boot a live cd/usb in Read Only mode as was suggested by the error message. copy your date to another usb. | 13:53 |
| User1985 | It only show on a ubuntu live CD | 13:53 |
| User1985 | I'm not sure how to do that. | 13:53 |
| cfhowlett | User1985, U - E - F - I issues. windows 8, rigth? | 13:53 |
| cfhowlett | right? | 13:53 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Can you run 'dmesg | pastebinit' ? | 13:53 |
| User1985 | cfhowlett : I don't think so cause it used to work flawlessly. Plus, I am using legacy, not UEFI | 13:54 |
| cfhowlett | User1985, so, as the error message said, mount read only. copy to another usb. done. | 13:55 |
| hounndo_2 | adamk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6364769/ | 13:55 |
| cfhowlett | !mount | 13:55 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 13:55 |
| hounndo_2 | thx for your help btw, am loosing my mind over this | 13:55 |
| User1985 | I don't know how to do that :s | 13:55 |
| cfhowlett | User1985, read the link. gtg | 13:56 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Unfortunately I'm not sure there's much guidance I can give here. The kernel module is getting loaded, xorg is attempting to use the fglrx driver (along with the fglrx drm module and fglrx glx module). That all looks like it should. Then suddenly the driver crashes. By all accounts, it looks like a bug in the driver. | 13:58 |
| hounndo_2 | well t only started failing after i started messing with it | 13:58 |
| User1985 | cfhowlett: this is the error message (http://bayimg.com/IAcHOaaFA) and this is what I did (http://pastebin.com/Ns75i9L7) | 13:59 |
| User1985 | There is my masters thesis on that drive :s | 13:59 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: So this worked out of the box initially? You were probably using the radeon driver. | 13:59 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: You could remove fglrx entirely and try with radeon again. I do not know if 3D acceleration is available for that GPU with the radeon driver currently installed, but I *believe* it is in the latest version of Ubuntu. | 14:00 |
| hounndo_2 | adamk:yes it was working out of the box, then i thought lets try steam and it told me to run fglrx updates and such... and now i am here | 14:01 |
| hounndo_2 | latest would be 13.x right? | 14:01 |
| suigeneris | I am trying to install kvirc. it says no qt4 or qt5 found. I do have qt4 and its version is 4.8.4 but install quits saying minimum required is 4.6.0 | 14:01 |

| suigeneris | shouldn't build-dep retrieve qt as well? | 14:01 |

| hitsujiTMO | hounndo_2: you graphics card was only released about 2.5 months before 12.04 so compatible drivers may not have made it in to the repos on time | 14:02 |
| angs | in order to have pcap.h library, what package do I need to install? I tried libpcap-dev but it did not work | 14:03 |
| adamk | hounndo_2: Personally, I'd upgrade unless there's a specific reason you need to stick with 12.04. In any case, the first thing I'd do is uninstall fglrx and switch back to the radeon driver. | 14:03 |
| hounndo_2 | adamk am upgrading right now | 14:03 |
| hounndo_2 | or not... | 14:04 |
| hounndo_2 | ack i should have allocated more space for linux... | 14:04 |

| StrangeNoises | no no, i've seen this before. it works after that. i just have to use gparted or similar to format it as msdos, then erase disk in sdc works, then i can go ahead | 14:32 |
| StrangeNoises | that's how it was in 13.04 anyway, so far seems identical in 13.10 | 14:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: rebooting works for me ... try ctrl+alt+del and logout and log back in | 14:33 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | DrGrov: seems like the same issue that I have | 14:33 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | It's not really an option to reboot in the middle of my working day and it is a major annoyance not being able to use the top bar at all... | 14:34 |
| * StrangeNoises received new ssd for the htpc today; getting ready for the reinstall, basically | 14:34 | |
| StrangeNoises | reminds me, need to back up ~/.xbmc | 14:34 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | My icons just do not disappear - they just do not work | 14:34 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Ah, there is the Ctrl+Alt+Del combination and it does not force restart the computer :) | 14:34 |
| StrangeNoises | in theory it should just be possible to dd the whole thing across to the new disk, but bleh | 14:34 |
| StrangeNoises | i'd rather reinstall | 14:34 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | StrangeNoises: nothing like a fresh install to clear the clutter :) | 14:34 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: I did not try C+A+D just since I was afraid it would force restart like in good old days of DOS LOL | 14:35 |
| StrangeNoises | not even that much clutter on this one | 14:35 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Testing now. | 14:35 |
| StrangeNoises | was freshly installed with raring not long before saucy came out | 14:35 |
| StrangeNoises | ah, sdc just crashed. lovely. | 14:35 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Ah but it does not give me the option to restart. That is strange. Just log out. | 14:35 |

| hitsujiTMO | StrangeNoises: dbus communicating error? | 14:36 |
| StrangeNoises | that's ungood | 14:36 |
| kblin_web | StrangeNoises: what filesystem are you creating? | 14:36 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | StrangeNoises: unfortunately I often see issues when dist-upgrading ubuntu. It's not debian after all :p | 14:36 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Can I do a reboot somehow except a terminal+sudo reboot? | 14:36 |
| StrangeNoises | gustavnikolaj_, actually tends to go well for me, although that's because i'm used to discounting a certain amount of post-upgrade fiddling | 14:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: try logout and log back in and see if the power menu come back | 14:36 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Ok, will do. | 14:36 |
| StrangeNoises | i'm not reinstalling this machine because it's got gnarly; just because i'm replacing an hdd with an ssd for its system drive | 14:37 |
| hillary_ | kindly assist me with a command which will allow read write access to all files and folders in /var directory | 14:37 |
| kblin_web | StrangeNoises: I seem to recall trouble with 13.04 trying to use btrfs for / | 14:37 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | StrangeNoises: I make an effort to run as close to vanilla setup as possible, but still somehow manage to get in trouble. I have debian machines running without reinstalls for years - but I havent lasted more than a release for ubuntu yet :) | 14:37 |
| StrangeNoises | kblin_web, well, that's an exotic thing to be doing tbf | 14:38 |
| kblin_web | StrangeNoises: why? | 14:38 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | Anyway, did anyone of you have any other ideas about how to fix the unresponsive top panel in unity? | 14:38 |
| StrangeNoises | gustavnikolaj_, for that kind of thing i actually used to really like gentoo. no such thing as a distro version upgrade | 14:38 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | StrangeNoises: yea - rolling releases kind of do solve that problem | 14:38 |
| StrangeNoises | kblin_web, isn't it still rather early days for btrfs? | 14:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | hillary_: thats far too dangerous. what exactly do you need it for? | 14:39 |
| kblin_web | StrangeNoises: it's been in the mainline kernel since 2009, iirc | 14:39 |
| ObrienDave | i think i heard that btrfs was still experimental | 14:40 |
| StrangeNoises | right, here we go again, without extra space | 14:40 |
| StrangeNoises | i thought it was still experimental. (lots of things in mainline kernel are 'experimental' for ages. after all, wasn't it mooted to be the new default, preferred filesystem? but ext4 still is that,presumably for a reason? | 14:41 |
| hillary_ | i have a folder in /var named elgg and i need to do modification in some files. am getting unable to save cos of writes. It is in local host | 14:41 |
| kblin_web | StrangeNoises: arguably the kernel doesn't have a default filesystem | 14:41 |
| hillary_ | am customizing a site | 14:41 |
| StrangeNoises | i know almost nothing about btrfs btw, no axe to grind here, was just my impression of something i wasn't paying close attention to | 14:41 |
| === Sammy is now known as Guest89198 | ||
| StrangeNoises | well no the *kernel* doesn't, but distro-makers make their choices... | 14:41 |
| StrangeNoises | also, available filesystems that grub can work with can be a factor | 14:42 |
| kblin_web | StrangeNoises: sure. I still think it's a bit rude to allow creating a btrfs / in the installer and then crash without a hint at a later step if you simply don't want to support btrfs / | 14:42 |
| StrangeNoises | hm. crashed again. this isn't good | 14:42 |
| hillary_ | if i can allow read write to all the folders and files in the directory, it will make my work easy | 14:43 |
| StrangeNoises | i think i may have to make this disk in a mac at this rate | 14:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | hillary_: what tool are you using to edit the files? | 14:43 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | DrGrov: I found a way to solve your issue without rebooting: killall unity-panel-service | 14:43 |
| hillary_ | reg edit | 14:43 |
| gustavnikolaj_ | it will force it to restart | 14:43 |
| === Guest89198 is now known as Sammy__ | ||
| hitsujiTMO | hillary_: is it /var/www you need access to? | 14:43 |
| hillary_ | exactly | 14:44 |
| hillary_ | /var/www/elgg | 14:44 |
| StrangeNoises | heh, my cat has found a spot *behind* my monitors, where she can peek over at me. | 14:44 |
| maxiaojun | does anyone experience /etc/X11/X missing? | 14:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | hillary_: use gksudo gedit /var/www/elgg/path/to/filename | 14:45 |
| maxiaojun | this happened when i did some "cleaning" in ubuntu tweak, my os is 12.04 running unity 2d | 14:47 |
| maxiaojun | i fixed this issue myself, but after an unsuccessful logout (freeze) the issue happens again | 14:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | hillary_: normally you should have set /var/www to be owned by a www group and added yourself to that group followed by setting permissions g+ws on /var/www. all that BEFORE ever adding any site code. doing so now will unfortunately break the exising sites. | 14:47 |
| === Sammy_ is now known as Sammy-_ | ||
| maxiaojun | this issue is rather annoying as the observed phenomenon is that the computer boots, then black screen without any error message | 14:48 |
| wl-deav | hillary_ ideally you should use virtualhosts | 14:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | maxiaojun: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/Xorg /etc/X11/X bizare how that could have happened | 14:49 |
| hillary_ | <hitsujiTMO: i would mind how do i set it | 14:49 |
| maxiaojun | yes, i know this fix, but i wanna know what triggered the missing? | 14:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | hillary_: its too late now. as i said doing so will break exising sites. you need to do that before adding sites. | 14:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | maxiaojun: can't think of anything that would cause it to be honest. | 14:51 |

| === Guest7013 is now known as Mapley | ||
| nishttal2 | ObrienDave, hmm.. so I have to rebuild a otherwise fully functional production server? | 14:57 |
| StrangeNoises | in short, if you're not the sort to jump on a new release every six months, you're probably better of sticking to the LTS versions :-) | 14:57 |
| StrangeNoises | off | 14:57 |
| nishttal2 | StrangeNoises, and Natty isnt a LTS release? | 14:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | maxiaojun: you sould report a bug on it at the least. i'd be careful of using any such software that's not in the main repos | 14:57 |
| ObrienDave | nishttal2 what version is the server running? | 14:57 |
| StrangeNoises | nishttal2, no, it isn't | 14:57 |
| nishttal2 | ObrienDave, StrangeNoises Linux bart 2.6.38-8-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:49:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 14:58 |

| maxiaojun | hitsujiTMO: i know how to report bugs and reported many, but i'd try to find out the root cause first | 14:59 |
| nishttal2 | bekks, Ubuntu 11.04 | 14:59 |
| nishttal2 | ObrienDave, rt :) | 14:59 |
| bekks | nishttal2: Thats not supported anymore. Upgrade to 12.04 at least. | 14:59 |
| StrangeNoises | and 12.04 *is* an LTS release, so is supported for years | 14:59 |
| nishttal2 | bekks, damn.. i hate changing OS when its not really broken | 15:00 |
| StrangeNoises | so suits those that don't like upgrading often :-) | 15:00 |
| ObrienDave | 5 years | 15:00 |
| StrangeNoises | some of us are a bit crazy and do actually enjoy it ;-) | 15:00 |
| ObrienDave | like me YEEHAAA | 15:00 |
| bekks | nishttal2: It isnt supported anymore. No updated, no security fixes, nothing. Use LTS 12.04 to get 5 years supports. | 15:00 |

| bekks | nishttal2: 11.04 is not supported anymore. EOD. | 15:01 |
| nishttal2 | StrangeNoises, ObrienDave oh my workstation is always bleeding edge (13.10 rt now).. but production servers i dont touch | 15:01 |
| Aut0Exec | answer this quick | 15:01 |
| === Sree_ is now known as Guest89380 | ||
| StrangeNoises | nishttal2, same here, well, i plan for *eventual* upgrades, but i only install the LTS on those | 15:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Aut0Exec: probably not . depends on the cpu and gpu | 15:01 |
| StrangeNoises | hence my own dedicated hosted server is on 12.04, and those i support for a client are 10.04 | 15:01 |

| Aut0Exec | just install the damn thing i guess | 15:08 |
| Aut0Exec | see what happens | 15:08 |
| StrangeNoises | Aut0Exec, you can probably still *install* standard ubuntu, and if it's too sluggish on the desktop you can just install eg: lubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop and use that from then on | 15:08 |

| philinux | Aut0Exec: runs very well with default ubuntu install i.e unity | 15:09 |
| ObrienDave | picky, PICKY ;) | 15:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Aut0Exec use a live dvd / usb to try it out, is my advice | 15:09 |
| Aut0Exec | ok | 15:09 |
| Aut0Exec | installation prompts you for what type of install you want? | 15:10 |
| philinux | Aut0Exec: if it didn't run well i'd use something else | 15:10 |
| Aut0Exec | standard, unity, ... etc? | 15:10 |
| StrangeNoises | Aut0Exec, standard installer will just install unity | 15:10 |
| Aut0Exec | ok | 15:10 |
| StrangeNoises | it will work, you then decide if it's smooth and responsive enough for you | 15:10 |
| StrangeNoises | and if it is, you're done | 15:10 |

| StrangeNoises | no need to reinstall | 15:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Aut0Exec firdt try it, before you install | 15:11 |

| gimmic | x0011BF: it doesn't prompt for sudo auth when it runs? | 15:30 |
| x0011BF | gimmic: I usually run it as like sudo ./runWifi | 15:31 |
| x0011BF | I'm not sure how to get it to prompt for sudo in the bash script itself. | 15:31 |
| gimmic | is it only for you? | 15:31 |
| gimmic | or is this for someone else.. can it be a hack | 15:31 |

| darth_damian_000 | Hello. I wanted to ask what is the best way to upgrade to 13.10? I did research and no method sounds convincing. In-system upgrade risks files being deleted, upgrading with a live USB is not a recommended method (as it will delete files), a clean install will definitely remove my files. Is there a way I can do this with keeping everything? | 15:31 |
| gimmic | http://askubuntu.com/questions/303795/run-typical-sudo-commands-from-button-on-unity | 15:31 |
| x0011BF | Just for me. | 15:32 |
| gimmic | x0011BF: gksudo might be what you're looking for? | 15:32 |
| xangua | darth_damian_000: updates have never deleter my files | 15:32 |
| x0011BF | OK, I'll try it out. I remember doing this a while back and finding that I generally needed to be running from a terminal. | 15:33 |

| x0011BF | That gksudo thing is probably right. | 15:33 |
| x0011BF | Is there a way to just give a script sudo permissions though? | 15:33 |
| gimmic | gksu: Description-en: graphical frontend to su | 15:33 |
| gimmic | (also does sudo) | 15:33 |
| x0011BF | If it's owned by root you'd need sudo permissions to run it. | 15:33 |
| x0011BF | Er. | 15:33 |
| x0011BF | To edit it. | 15:33 |
| gimmic | edit what | 15:33 |
| x0011BF | Like if I could set a flag on it so that it doesn't need the sudo password to run as root. | 15:34 |
| bekks | x0011BF: setuid | 15:34 |
| x0011BF | It's not like an attacker could edit it without the sudo password anyway. | 15:34 |
| huttan | x0011BF: yeah, u can in the sudoers file. | 15:34 |
| gimmic | you can save the password into a launcher, which is why I was asking aobut other users | 15:35 |
| x0011BF | ah. | 15:35 |
| gimmic | or you can give passwordless sudo for that script in visudo | 15:35 |
| x0011BF | Yeah I worry about saving the password somewhere. | 15:35 |
| gimmic | for your user | 15:35 |
| gimmic | then use visdo | 15:35 |
| gimmic | *visudo | 15:35 |
| roflin | mmm I've got an issue with my sound after resume. I probably need to unload the right modules on suspend, but I don't know which one. | 15:35 |
| x0011BF | All of those things compromise security though. | 15:35 |
| ObrienDave | darth_damian_000 In-system is safest | 15:35 |
| gimmic | set it so you can passwordlessly allow execution of that script, problem is that script can be anything | 15:35 |
| roflin | the issue is that it doesn't work after a resume btw. | 15:35 |
| huttan | x0011BF: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130128020411AAZpsgc - i suggest you read the answer from, Chris D | 15:36 |
| gimmic | well, what you're asking is for a way to execute a bash script as root without a password. ALL solutions will compromise security. | 15:36 |
| ActionPa1snip | roflin: if you run: killall pulseaudio after you resume, is it ok? | 15:36 |
| x0011BF | What the hell huttan? A thoughtful response on Yahoo! Answers? | 15:36 |
| x0011BF | I should write another answer telling the person that if they use sudo wrong they'll get pregnant just to balance it out. | 15:36 |
| x0011BF | :P | 15:36 |
| huttan | x0011BF: it happens =) | 15:37 |
| roflin | I tried with pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload, but that didn't bring it back. | 15:37 |
| x0011BF | gimmic: To some extent yeah, but if I write the script myself and it is owned by root it doesn't really compromise much. | 15:37 |
| x0011BF | Because you'd need the sudo password to edit it. | 15:37 |
| gimmic | ya | 15:37 |
| gimmic | that's probably the best way- lock it down and set it for passwordless execution via visudo | 15:37 |
| x0011BF | OK, I'll read up on setuid, gksudo, visudo and that bizarro Yahoo! Answers thread. | 15:38 |
| geirha | x0011BF: The ownership and permissions on the directory the script is in also matters | 15:38 |
| x0011BF | Thanks for the advice gimmic , huttan and bekks. | 15:38 |
| gimmic | you don't need any of that first stuff- just do visdo and proper permissions | 15:38 |
| x0011BF | I'll just read it anyway :P | 15:38 |
| gimmic | the gksudo is only for the graphical password prompt, which you can bypass. | 15:38 |
| skulltip | when i upgrade by doing a format/install, i have a separate home partition. how do i keep it from messing up the installed GUI settings when I point the fstab to the new home folder? Won't the settings in new gnome/unity/whatever potentionally be impacted by the old settings in my home folder? | 15:38 |
| bekks | x0011BF: which gimmic? | 15:38 |
| geirha | any user with write access to the directory can replace the script with their own | 15:38 |

| StrangeNoises | i didn't either | 16:32 |
| Aut0Exec | np | 16:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | irgautvol: also can you pastebin .xsession-errors | 16:32 |
| sirronb | Aut0Exec: No sir | 16:33 |
| Aut0Exec | sirronb: thats unfortunate :) | 16:33 |
| deper29 | sirronb: do you have os-prober | 16:33 |
| irgautvol | hitsujiTMO .xsession-errors show crash stuff. Now I got to the background screen in gui after restarting lightdm - still without any controls | 16:33 |
| sirronb | Aut0Exec: No sir - never heard of. I was told this morning to use "boot-repair-disk". It did nothing. I can send you the paste.ubuntu | 16:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | irgautvol: can you still post .xsession-errors might give a clue as to whats preventing unity from loading | 16:34 |
| irgautvol | hitsujiTMO .dmrc is still Session=gnome-fallback | 16:34 |
| deper29 | sirronb: I would try os-prober. That's what I use. I think it's just 'sudo os-prober' | 16:35 |
| sirronb | deper29: No sir - never heard of. I was told this morning to use "boot-repair-disk". It did nothing. I can send you the paste.ubuntu | 16:36 |
| Lars_G | Ok, sorry but what IS the right toold to change what's run on each runlevel with upstart? | 16:36 |
| irgautvol | hitsujiTMO I have to retype here.. at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawing (multple) then update-notifier-crash (.... terminated with status 127) (multiple) | 16:36 |
| sirronb | deper29: tried that - no repsonse | 16:36 |
| deper29 | sirronb: hold on a second, let me dig out the docs | 16:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Lars_G: vim, nano, gedit... what ever you prefer. just remember that there is only 1 runlevel that you're running in | 16:37 |
| sirronb | deper29: Okay | 16:37 |
| Lars_G | hitsujiTMO: You mean edit the runlevel on the init file itself? ugh. So there's no tool to disable an init in a runlevel? | 16:37 |
| StrangeNoises | do runlevels even exist any more? thought just services had dependencies and it sorted itself out | 16:37 |
| deper29 | sirronb: try mounting the drive with Windows on it | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !runlevel | 16:38 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | deper29: partition ;) | 16:38 |
| Lars_G | !Upstart | 16:38 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 16:38 |

| Lars_G | lets see I saw those docs and I saw no reference on disabling stuff but I'll see again | 16:38 |

| deper29 | sirronb: s/drive/partition/ | 16:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | irgautvol: install pastebinit: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors | 16:39 |
| deper29 | ActionParsnip: ugh, you know what I meant. | 16:39 |
| jubale | I created a symlink between /usr/bin/something and /opt/something/something, but using symlink returned command not found. | 16:40 |
| * deper29 gets coffee | 16:40 | |
| sirronb | deper29: The drive is mounted and I can see the directories and files. GParted show all the drives and the structure looks okay. | 16:40 |
| ikonia | jubale: what was the command you linked | 16:40 |
| Lars_G | jubale: the command is "ln -s" for a symbolic link | 16:40 |
| irgautvol | hitsujiTMO : /var/crash/_usr_lib_i386-linux-gnu_indicator-sound.. ok give me some time | 16:40 |
| Lars_G | Oh I get it now. | 16:40 |
| deper29 | sirronb: you just mounted now? | 16:40 |
| deper29 | or was it mounted when you ran os-prober? | 16:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | lars_g: you edit the config files in /etc/init but everything is effective running in runlevel 2. you have more control with upstart where you can start and stop services based on other services being active, or a network interface going up. have a look at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ | 16:41 |
| Lars_G | jubale: Make sure a) /opt/something/something is +x b) /usr/bin is in PATH and c) You symlinked in the right direction | 16:41 |
| jubale | I did 'sudo ln -s ./manager-linux-x64.run /usr/bin/lampp-manager ', but calling lampp-manager returned command not found. | 16:41 |
| sirronb | deper29: It is always there. Just cannot see it on the GRUB2 bootloader. So I donb't have the option to boot to Windoze | 16:41 |
| StrangeNoises | ouch if c: is no :-) | 16:41 |
| StrangeNoises | jubale: you should use the full path | 16:42 |
| Lars_G | jubale: Ok, then, a) use full path for symlinking, b) check manager-linux-x64.run has the executable flag set | 16:42 |
| StrangeNoises | it's looking for manager-linux-x64.run in /usr/bin | 16:42 |
| ikonia | jubale: you'll find that link is wrong | 16:42 |
| StrangeNoises | yeah | 16:42 |
| ikonia | jubale: ls -la .//usr/bin/lampp-manager | 16:42 |
| ikonia | jubale: ls -la /usr/bin/lampp-manager | 16:43 |
| jubale | Used full path and now it says permission denied. | 16:43 |
| StrangeNoises | also, /usr/local/bin might be a better choice | 16:43 |
| StrangeNoises | for your link | 16:43 |
| Lars_G | StrangeNoises: c should only be harmfull if both files exist, so symlinking would fail anyhow | 16:43 |
| ikonia | jubale: right, so look at the permissions on the target, not the link | 16:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | jubale: give the full math for manager-linux-x64.run | 16:43 |
| Lars_G | jubale: And if you're symlinking again, remove the link you created wrongly first | 16:44 |
| jubale | It is owned by root | 16:44 |
| ikonia | jubale: ok, you're not root | 16:44 |
| deper29 | sirronb: hmm, I do not know why os-prober doesn't see windows | 16:44 |
| jubale | I used sudo | 16:44 |
| ikonia | jubale: and..... | 16:44 |
| jubale | and it said not permitted | 16:45 |
| ikonia | jubale: what does it actually say - word for word | 16:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | deper29: what's the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 16:45 |

| deper29 | sirronb: see what hitsujiTMO said | 16:46 |
| ikonia | jubale: ok, so work through those problmes, 1.) is /tmp writable for you, 2.) are you using selinux (no as you're using ubuntu I assume) | 16:46 |

| deper29 | sirronb: I believe you. can you pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l' | 16:47 |
| sirronb | deper29: It used to work until the last update. Then no more Windoze. | 16:47 |
| Lars_G | irgautvol: Is that md5? | 16:47 |
| irgautvol | Lars_G no, ref for pastebinit | 16:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | irgautvol: must be some part of you gnome config causing the crash. | 16:48 |
| jubale | Yes, /tmp is world writable. | 16:49 |
| irgautvol | hitsujiTMO : Yes I agree, but how do I debug? | 16:49 |
| ikonia | jubale: can I just ask why you are not just using a standard lamp install ? | 16:49 |
| sirronb | deper29: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365615/ | 16:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | irgautvol: the norm is to start resetting the configs by remaning them | 16:50 |
| jubale | Because I choose not to deal with the configurations. | 16:50 |
| ikonia | configurations ? | 16:50 |
| btorch | where does upstart keeps track of when a service is up ? I'm having some issues with it | 16:50 |
| jubale | Because I chose to use XAMPP. It is not a crime. | 16:50 |
| deper29 | sirronb: can I see your /etc/fstab? | 16:50 |
| irgautvol | hitsujiTMO : Ok which? I started renaming folders. | 16:50 |
| ikonia | jubale: no, it's not a crime, it just makes things a lot harder for you, so I was just offering some advice that may make it better for you | 16:51 |
| btorch | it thinks the service is up and running when in fact it isn't .. I see no pid for the service where it should be | 16:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | irgautvol: try starting with .config | 16:51 |
| jubale | I've found at easier to use XAMPP for now. I'll probably use lampp in the future. | 16:51 |
| ikonia | jubale: not sure how you've found it easier when you've not got it installed | 16:52 |
| jubale | It is installed, I shut down standard lamp services. | 16:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | sirronb: can you tell us the output of: sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sda | pastebinit | 16:52 |
| ikonia | jubale: standard lamp services ? they should not be installed unless you installed them | 16:52 |
| davidw | is there a way to show all packages that have a version greater than that in the repository? | 16:52 |
| ikonia | jubale: why would you install lamp to then install xamp | 16:53 |
| jubale | Yes, I did install them. I just haven't been using them. | 16:53 |
| ikonia | this is a bad configuration | 16:53 |
| sirronb | deper29: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365636/ | 16:53 |
| jubale | My problem isn't specific to XAMPP, nor is this channel. And, I do not believe I have to justify my choice to anyone. | 16:53 |
| deper29 | sirronb: 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' | 16:54 |
| ikonia | jubale: your problem startin Xammp IS specific to Xammp. that's why you are asking for help running it | 16:54 |

| jubale | No. I asked for help getting a symlink to work. I've been using XAMPP for weeks. | 16:55 |
| irgautvol | hitsujiTMO ok that did not work. I mv .config to _oldconfig. switched user and after login have black screen again for me (gui) Other gui user is ok | 16:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | irgautvol: try some of the other .folders | 16:55 |

| hitsujiTMO | sirronb: sudo lsblk | pastebinit | 16:59 |
| StrangeNoises | Grimm0: you can pick the drive to install on, and the drive to put the bootloader on, during the install process. you probably want to put the bootloader on the win7 ssd, but the ubuntu install itself on the drive you have ready for it. | 17:00 |
| ikonia | jubale: ok, so there should be nothing like apparmor blocking it, so if it's staticlly linked it's expecting files to be in a certain place, normally from an absoloute path reference | 17:00 |
| ikonia | jubale: if your running it from a differnet working directory, eg: a symlink, those paths maybe wrong | 17:00 |

| Rory | loizbek: Probably means you have something mounted somewhere in your home directory. Could you run the command "mount" and pastebin it for me again please? | 17:08 |
| irgautvol | hitsujiTMO I think I have tried all the resent ones | 17:08 |
| Grimm0 | ok , im at the partition table in ubuntu intallation (something else at install) , here is where i really need help as i never got properly passed this step | 17:09 |
| Rory | MisioPysio: The brightness levels are generally under ACPI control with the levels defined in firmware. For example the ACPI control method _BCL "Query List of Brightness Control Levels Supported" informs the kernel how many brightness levels are supported. You can't realistically change this. | 17:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | MisioPysio: have a look at the scripts in /etc/acpi/events/ | 17:10 |
| loizbek | Rory http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365711/ | 17:10 |
| Grimm0 | currently i see this = /dev/sda1 EFI 100mb , /dev/sda2 134mb unknown , /dev/sda3 ntfs 119793mb ( this is the main SSD partition with Windows7 on) /dev/sdb = 1tb free space | 17:10 |
| loizbek | According to baobab that 195 GB folder contains : 59.8 + 27.2 + 16.9 + 12.9 + 3.4 + 1.5 + 0.23 + 0.2 + 0.13 + 0.1 + 51 folders < 100 M → total < 128 GB | 17:11 |
| MisioPysio | Rory i meant i have 8 brightness levels(from 0 to 7) accesable by program (i've forgot the name looks like sunshine) but when im using Fn keys its jumping to much | 17:11 |
| Grimm0 | so i select the free space under /dev/sdb , i click the + sign , the create partition dialog pops up | 17:11 |
| loizbek | => 67 GB that my home folder contains are in no folder scanned by baobab | 17:11 |

| hitsujiTMO | irgautvol: you will need to sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /home/youruser after you you do all that y | 17:17 |
| Rory | pizzasauce: sorry /etc/bash.bashrc - or similar | 17:17 |
| Grimm0 | so now it looks like /dev/sdb1 ext4 , mount point / , 200000mb . What do i do next , boot partition , or swap ? do i need swap ? i got 8 gig ram ddr3 and i can still physically add more , but i have enough HDD space to allocate SWAP space if its better | 17:17 |
| loizbek | Rory: can't see it on the side : I have unmounted my iPod and the DELL utility which were not in home | 17:18 |
| Rory | Grimm0: You don't *need* swap. YOu don't *need* a boot partition | 17:18 |
| loizbek | Rory: but i know nothing of that fuse daemon | 17:18 |
| loizbek | which is not displayed | 17:18 |
| Rory | loizbek: Can you run the command: "ls -alh ~/.gvfs" and pastebin it please? | 17:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | anon12: have you tried without an xorg.conf ? | 17:18 |
| abradley | Files are read-only when mounted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365754/ | 17:19 |
| Grimm0 | oh ok , i understood something else . But where does it install the GRUB 2 then ? on the ubuntu partition | 17:19 |
| Grimm0 | ? | 17:19 |
| abradley | How can I get rw access? | 17:19 |
| loizbek | Rory : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365756/ | 17:19 |
| Rory | Grimm0: Yes it will install it to the MBR, and files in /boot - whether that is a separate parttion or not makes no difference | 17:19 |
| Grimm0 | keep in mind i have this UEFI setup.. dont know if thats the game changer , but had a lot of issues with it in the past | 17:19 |
| anon12 | hitsujiTMO, should I rm/mv xorg.conf and restart? | 17:20 |
| Rory | loizbek: So now you have unmounted everything, does your file usage tool still over-report space? | 17:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | anon12: mv | 17:20 |
| pizzasauce | Rory: thank you. | 17:20 |
| anon12 | hitsujiTMO, what should happen after reboot? | 17:20 |
| Grimm0 | is it still wise to add 8gig SWAP space , just to play safe ? or is that nonsense ? | 17:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | anon12: hopefully you should get a normal desktop | 17:21 |
| loizbek | Rory: Yep 195 GB… with the same folder sizes | 17:21 |
| anon12 | hitsujiTMO, can I restart the xserver from a terminal without reboot? | 17:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | anon12: its more or less a reboot, considering that its up before you login | 17:22 |
| Grimm0 | device for boot loader installation goes to /dev/sda ? (thats where windows is installed) | 17:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | abradley: if you are just getting ro when specifying rw then thats probably an issue with config on serverside | 17:22 |
| anon12 | hitsujiTMO, I will be back in about 5~10 minutes to let you know if it worked | 17:22 |
| param | http://tinypic.com/r/kbcf85/5 Rory I get this error | 17:23 |
| abradley | hitsujiTMO, thanks for your input. THe share is setup correctly. Other windows machines can rw correctly | 17:23 |
| loizbek | Rory: when I first noticed this, the free space of the HD was changing in nautilus, each time I was updated… | 17:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | are they able to write when the machine itself is not authed with the domain tho? the server may have seperate permissions for machine and user auth | 17:26 |

| hitsujiTMO | Grimm0: is the isntaller* | 17:29 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, typing is hard isn't it :P | 17:30 |
| Grimm0 | ow damm it wasnt loading the screen here lol . Serus , yeah thats me , same guy of this midda | 17:31 |
| Grimm0 | hitsujiTMO , how can i know ? | 17:31 |
| Serus | Grimm0, mind if I talk with you in private? (in dutch) | 17:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm): when you booted the isntaller from the boot menu did you choose: UEFI | 17:32 |
| loizbek | Rory : I see you are very solicitated, I guess I haven't been able to state my problem well enough for you to figure out what's wrong… | 17:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm0: are you also mount the efi system partition as /boot/efi ? | 17:32 |
| Grimm0 | i dont think i had that option , i am installing from a liveUSB , and when in UEFI choosing boot priority , it just gave the Sandisk USB as a possibility , but i dont think it said UEFI with it | 17:33 |
| Serus | Grimm0, I have a command for you that can tell you that | 17:33 |
| Grimm0 | the efi system partition was created with the install of windows automaticly , i dint create ay EFI partition myself , but i do have the option to do that in the partition table | 17:34 |
| bendog | hy | 17:34 |
| Grimm0 | Serus, can i use a command while in the partition table screen of ubuntu ? | 17:34 |
| Serus | Grimm0, open a terminal in ubuntu | 17:34 |
| bendog | kann mir jemand bissi helfen? hab internetprobleme | 17:34 |
| Serus | bendog, please speak english in this channel | 17:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm0: you still need to mount the efi system partition as /boot/efi .... just don't format it | 17:35 |
| Grimm0 | serus, while in the install dialog ? | 17:35 |
| bendog | oh, ok. i see. | 17:35 |
| Grimm0 | hitsujiTMO, the one that windows created right ? | 17:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm0: yes | 17:35 |

| Grimm0 | serus, i dont have that home dash i think , i got the black bar on top , all the way right i have this blue guy symbol and internet symbol next to it , no home or command anywhere to be found | 17:37 |
| Grimm0 | hitsujiTMO , if i click the EFI partition that windows created while in the ubuntu partition table , i cant edit anything except size and Use as | 17:37 |
| Serus | Grimm0, when you press the windows button you can see a menu right? | 17:37 |
| Grimm0 | only hgh cntrasst , screen reader , keyboard modifier and on screen keyboard | 17:38 |
| Serus | but you can search right? | 17:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm0: you just want to tell it to mount it as /boot/efi thats it | 17:39 |
| Grimm0 | nope , im thinking its because i have a second monitor , should maybe try again and unplug that one first as the resolution is not all the way ok , thats maye why its hiding the rest of the bar | 17:39 |
| Serus | Grimm0, what did you select? Try ubuntu or install ubuntu? | 17:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus he's in the installer mode,not live mode | 17:39 |
| Grimm0 | hitsujiTMO, i dont find how to add the mount point .. | 17:39 |
| Grimm0 | Serus, install ubuntu . Should have gone for try ubuntu without installing ?can start over | 17:40 |
| Serus | Grimm0, Too hard | 17:40 |
| Serus | Yes do that | 17:40 |
| strixUK1 | hi. i have a from-scratch ubuntu 12.04 server installation, and i am scratching my head why it doesn't perform comparably to the machine it's replacing (hostgator-configured, centos 5.9-based thing). | 17:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | Grimm0: hmm, all i can say is hopefully the installer automatically mounts it for you | 17:40 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, It only does when he is in UEFI mode | 17:40 |
| strixUK1 | example: loading a 230-odd MB SQL dump takes 45 sec on new machine, and 30 on old. | 17:40 |
| Grimm0 | lets try again from try ubuntu first , sounds like more options there | 17:40 |
| Serus | yes | 17:40 |
| loizbek | Rory : I'm a dumb fuck, it was a 70 GB file not folder… | 17:41 |
| strixUK1 | any pointers as to what sort of tuning i should be looking at? | 17:41 |
| h00k | loizbek: please keep the lanauge appropriate in here | 17:41 |
| loizbek | Rory: yet I don't understand how I get 70 GB worth of xsession-errors | 17:41 |
| Grimm0 | i can check if its booting the drive in UEFI maybe now as wel | 17:42 |
| loizbek | h00k: sorry about that | 17:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | strixUK1: you may want to ask the same question in #ubuntu-server too | 17:42 |
| Grimm0 | yes , boot order says boot option one = UEFI: sandisk (the live usb) | 17:42 |
| loizbek | h00k: kind of got mad at myself for not seeing something obvious and having people loose time over it | 17:42 |
| loizbek | Rory: thanks for the help anyway… | 17:42 |
| h00k | :) been there | 17:42 |
| Serus | Grimm0, If that works it will boot in UEFI mode (unless it has a fallback mode) | 17:43 |
| Grimm0 | and thats a good thing ? =D | 17:43 |
| strixUK1 | hitsujiTMO: ah bonus, thank you | 17:43 |
| Serus | not really :p | 17:43 |
| Serus | Because that will make you think it's in UEFI mode when it's not. | 17:43 |
| Grimm0 | mmm , can i switch it is the question then | 17:43 |

| Serus | Grimm0, you should also have a tab in your irc that says "Serus" | 17:45 |

| Serus | Grimm0, boot it in UEFI mode | 17:45 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Tested to log out, did nothing. When I get to the login screen I see the power button in the top bar but not after logging in anymore. | 17:45 |
| Grimm0 | allright | 17:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: have a look at the ~/.xsession-errors file | 17:46 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Ok. | 17:46 |
| MisioPysio | Hey im having some troubles with adjusting brightness with Fn keys, http://oi42.tinypic.com/4rax53.jpg - to ilustrate what im talking about. there are 8 levels (from 0 to 7 fully accesable by indicator brightness but not through Fn) it seems like its jumping through more than 12,5 % - like it shoudl be. Any ideas? | 17:46 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Nothing much there. | 17:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: thats the only log i can think of that would give a clue | 17:47 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: It says at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning a few times until the last line where it says, respwaning too fast, stopped. | 17:47 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Could it be a setting somehow somewhere+ | 17:48 |
| DrGrov | ? | 17:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: its a common bug tbh. i have random indicators not load for mee all the time. for some they never see certain indicators | 17:49 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: But how come it was visible until now then? | 17:50 |
| olf-folks | ok guys say i accidentally apt-get installed something and it ended up installing something that broke my computer, were would one find a log that shows what got installed and now needs to be removed | 17:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | MisioPysio: did you have a look at the scripts in /etc/acpi/events/ ? | 17:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: /var/log/apt/history.log | 17:51 |
| MisioPysio | hitsujiTMO: forgot about it give me a sec | 17:51 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Could I sort this problem out by switching to something else than Unity? | 17:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: you could try standard gnome | 17:51 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: How stable is XFCE? That should be fine with the top bar stuff? | 17:51 |
| Arroweb | hi, one question, anybody has test a minimal iso of ubuntu 12.04? for any reason it stuck on sreen, but with latest version works fine | 17:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: xfce should be quite stable, but i've never used it. I would try gnome first | 17:52 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Ok. GNOME meaning what exactly? The Classic something? | 17:52 |
| MisioPysio | hitsujiTMO: i have files like these in there : asus-keyboard-backlight-down and asus-keyboard-backlight-up (ironically im runing on fujitsu-siemens) | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Arroweb: did you MD5 test the 12.04 mini ISO you downloaded? | 17:53 |
| olf-folks | hitsujiTMO, your the best | 17:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: not classic just gnome: without the unity theme | 17:53 |

| pizzasauce | has anyone successfully used Privoxy? I couldn't not make whitelist work | 17:53 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Do I need to download that at all? | 17:53 |
| Arroweb | ActionParsnip: yes, could you test it and tell me if to you works? | 17:53 |
| olf-folks | ActionParsnip, i am not good with english | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Arroweb: I have it running now, i always use minimal to avoid bloat | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | olf-folks: its cool :) | 17:54 |
| Arroweb | ActionParsnip: the 12.04 version? | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Arroweb: yes, I like to stick with LTS | 17:54 |
| Arroweb | O_o | 17:54 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Well I am off to test. | 17:54 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Thanks again :) | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Arroweb: what video chip do you use? | 17:54 |
| Arroweb | ActionParsnip: NVIDIA, but with the latest version for example, it works without problems, I think could be the urls to repos from iso maybe? | 17:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: there's a package or an alternative installer ... i think the package might be gnome-panel | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Arroweb: try the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Arroweb: I assume you are not using an Optimus system | 17:56 |
| Arroweb | ActionParsnip: in vbox, the same problem | 17:56 |
| MisioPysio | hitsujiTMO: i've found script doing the brightness up/down thing | 17:56 |
| Arroweb | is something strange lol | 17:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | MisioPysio: you may need to follow that to the actual script doing the work and modify the script. failing that you could play with xrandr .... you can get your display name from the output of: xrandr and then run: xrandr --output <displayname> --brightness <level> valid levels are from 0.0 to 1.0 | 17:58 |
| TJ- | In Empathy chat client, how do we disable the automatic translation of text into emoticons? It interferes with copying/pasting code fragments, especially grep expressions | 17:58 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Strange. I logged out, did not see the power button at login screen but now when I logged in without a reboot it shows up properly | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Arroweb: maybe the newer xorg is needed for your particular nvidia chip | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Arroweb: i use an nvidia 6150LE onboard, works well | 17:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: as i said earlier: its a common random bug... it happens mainly for the clock for me. | 17:59 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Ok. Would all other DE's have that same problem? | 17:59 |
| Arroweb | ActionParsnip: ok, but not works in vbox neitger (in other pc with Intel card neither) | 18:00 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: In case it does not happen with other DE's I will switch. How do I select another WM/DE at the login screen btw? Did not see anything. | 18:00 |

| bekks | Arroweb: Its not strange but perfectly intended that you cannot use your hosts GPU in a virtualbox vm. | 18:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: no. gnome might as its the same base code, but they don't start apps early like what happens in unity. you can install gnome with: sudo apt-get install gnome-panel i think and xfce is: sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 18:01 |
| Arroweb | bekks: In both pcs? hmm | 18:02 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Ok, it is gnome-panel that I want. Thanks :) | 18:02 |

| hitsujiTMO | Arroweb: what exactly do you mean by stuck screen? | 18:11 |

| DrGrov | I am about to switch from Unity to XFCE4 on 13.10. Do settings and such what I have done now in programs and other settings be the same even though I change WM or DE? | 18:30 |
| AJH101 | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6366096/ | 18:30 |
| reisio | DrGrov: your preferences won't disappear | 18:31 |
| reisio | DrGrov: even for applications you uninstall they won't | 18:31 |
| DrGrov | reisio: Good if that is the case. I am a bit paranoid about that kind of stuff. | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | AJH101: disable the CD as a package source, the rest is fine | 18:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | AJH101: comment out the cdrom in your apr sources | 18:31 |
| SDr | what's the argument for zip to compress the current directory only, without subdirectories? | 18:31 |
| reisio | DrGrov: data in ~/ (that is, /home/yourUser/) is usually not altered unless you ask for it to be | 18:31 |
| lotuspsychje | DrGrov: are you planning to remove unity completly or not? | 18:31 |
| DrGrov | reisio: Is there any internet interaction or such in other WM or DE ? | 18:31 |
| reisio | SDr: the files in the current directory? | 18:32 |
| === ZIPY_ is now known as ZIPY | ||
| SDr | reisio, yes | 18:32 |
| reisio | SDr: if they have a . in them, you could do zip foo.zip *.* | 18:32 |
| DrGrov | lotuspsychje: I am not sure if I should completely remove Unity. I hope that bugs would be fixed with the top bar and disappearing icons. | 18:32 |
| reisio | SDr: otherwise: zip foo.zip $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f) | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | AJH101: you can use software centre to do it, or comment out the top few lines in /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:33 |
| DrGrov | So the reason I asked is that I spent countless of hours tweaking Unity to my liking and if I switch I hope it won | 18:33 |
| olf-folks | i think it may be faster to format and reinstall rather than remove all of thoes packages | 18:33 |
| reisio | DrGrov: is there what now? | 18:33 |
| DrGrov | reisio: Huh? | 18:33 |
| reisio | DrGrov: no settings should be altered, they'll just sit there and wait for Unity, even if you uninstall Unity | 18:33 |
| reisio | DrGrov: and if they don't, you don't want to use such daft software anyways | 18:34 |
| DrGrov | reisio: Ok, but probably would be the best to completely remove Unity? Just to be on the safe side and start fresh so to speak? | 18:34 |
| AJH101 | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the advice :-) | 18:34 |
| reisio | DrGrov: I don't know about safe, but it will help keep Xfce uncluttered | 18:34 |
| reisio | DrGrov: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntu | 18:34 |
| reisio | DrGrov: might be out of date, now, but you get the idea | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | we had a few users having issues here removing unity | 18:35 |
| DrGrov | reisio: Yes, probably uncluttered is the best for me. I do not like stuff hanging around from before. | 18:35 |
| SDr | reisio, yup, that works, thanks | 18:35 |
| DrGrov | reisio: Ok. Will look into that. Thanks | 18:35 |
| Martinjo84 | Then install xubuntu :D | 18:35 |
| olf-folks | im thinking about installing xu | 18:35 |
| lotuspsychje | !xubuntu | 18:36 |

| ActionParsnip | AJ_Z0: no worries dude, the CLI will nearly always give more useful output than GUI things | 18:36 |
| DrGrov | lotuspsychje: But would I still need to keep Unity around? | 18:36 |
| Martinjo84 | if you need it | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | DrGrov: thats up to you mate, i would not do it personaly | 18:36 |
| DrGrov | lotuspsychje: You would leave Unity stuff around? | 18:37 |
| lotuspsychje | DrGrov: yes, or switch to xubuntu like Martinjo84 suggests | 18:37 |
| DrGrov | lotuspsychje: I think I know what I do until I get some peace of mind. Fluxbox. | 18:37 |

| sam113101 | I find ubuntu gnome to be more stable than ubuntu, is that weird? | 18:39 |
| lotuspsychje | DrGrov: its supposed to all go flawless, but we had users removing unity and break stuff | 18:39 |
| DrGrov | lotuspsychje: Is there users who have actually managed to get it completely removed without issues? | 18:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov the risk is being stuck with just a kernel after apt-get messes up and uninstalls every dependency | 18:39 |

| DrGrov | I just can not stand Unity now with this missing power button. | 18:40 |
| lotuspsychje | DrGrov: check the pure link from reisio | 18:40 |

| sam113101 | reisio: what is it based off? | 18:42 |

| Semajnad | Hello, can someone help me with the best way to do the following : /home/thenetwork/usr001 - this has to have an executable in that usr001 needs to be able to run, but I want the user jailed tto /home/thenetwork/usr001/directory - this directory. Plus, the executable in usr001 folder needs to be able to access the files in the /usr001/directory | 18:42 |
| lotuspsychje | MagBo: sorry no | 18:42 |
| DrGrov | This is too complicated anyhow. | 18:43 |
| MagBo | ok, sorry. | 18:43 |
| DrGrov | Probably best to just reinstall everything from scratch. | 18:43 |
| reisio | sam113101: Unity? GNOME 3 and compiz, a barely maintained buggy fancy window manager | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: barely maintained? | 18:43 |
| MagBo | Semajnad: is the binary in question the only thing user should be capable of running? | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: really? | 18:44 |
| * lotuspsychje is happy with unity, compiz and wobbly windows :p | 18:44 | |
| MagBo | Semajnad: can you copy files? If so, just copy it over and do chroot jail. | 18:44 |
| * DrGrov is out | 18:44 | |
| * ActionParsnip uses OpenBox and enjoys no crashes and lots of free resources :) | 18:44 | |
| reisio | ActionParsnip: compared to other window managers, I'd say so yes | 18:44 |
| lotuspsychje | !info openbox > lotuspsychje | 18:44 |
| sam113101 | unity next won't be a compiz plugin, right? | 18:45 |
| Semajnad | MagBo: The directory structure /home/thenetwork/usr001 - this has an executable in and /home/thenetwork/usr001/directory - has files in the executable needs to access. So really I need those two folders available, but I don't want the user accessing the files in the usr001 folder. Plus the user needs sftp access into the second folder. | 18:45 |
| k1l | sam113101: right | 18:46 |
| Dooma | Hello. I have a question. Is the dhcp server necessary for pxe install if I have both computers behind a router? | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Dooma: as long as you can get dhcp, its fine | 18:46 |
| JokesOnYou77 | Hi all | 18:46 |
| TJ- | Dooma: PXE needs a BOOTP/DHCP server somewhere on the network segment, or else a DHCP relay/proxy if via a router | 18:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | on my low powered largenetbook/minilaptop i use unity quite happily, and on my large overly powered desktop (i7 + 32gb ram) i use openbox? Does any of that seem wrong to you guys? | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | hitsujiTMO: seems fine to me. I'd always use openbox, even with 1Tb RAM | 18:47 |
| MagBo | Semajnad: well, you can simply use two ssh-commands attached to two keys. This way when user will run ssh -i /path/to/thenetwork_sftp_key thenetwork sftp wrapper will get executed, when she runs ssh -i /path/to/thenetwork_binary_key thenetwork, binary in question will be executed. | 18:47 |

| lotuspsychje | openbox lookin neat here: http://www.deviantart.com/?q=openbox&offset=72 | 18:48 |
| MagBo | Semajnad: I would strongly suggest using multiple keys and ssh-command over chroot jails, even though chroot-jails are the easiest thing to do. | 18:48 |
| MagBo | Semajnad: do you need any clarification, or everything that I said is understandable? | 18:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | lotuspsychje: i dont even have a background | 18:48 |
| Dooma | Hmm, the router has dhcp, and it define ips automatically to computer. But, I set the TFPT server and when I start the PC to boot from network, it doesn't | 18:48 |
| lotuspsychje | hitsujiTMO: lol, i always loved ubuntu eyecandy.. | 18:49 |
| MagBo | I really need some halp with this — Ubuntu generates valid crypttab for swap, but by the looks of it it fails to read it.

| snakeds_ | Hi guys. Is Deluge the best offer for a client bittorrent to put into my ubuntu server 12.04 (i'm a student) and plug-in with my iphone/chrome/firefox for download things direct in my server? Or should i maybe try something else? | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8850924/raring.png :) | 18:50 |
| lotuspsychje | snakeds_: i like transmission the most | 18:50 |
| snakeds_ | another guy adviced me for transmission too | 18:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | Snake2k: transmission-daemon | 18:50 |
| MagBo | snakeds_: if you ask me, you should use rtorrent. You can simply manage it over SSH. Transmission is another great option as you run a headless instance and control it over a thin HTTP client. | 18:50 |
| JokesOnYou77 | snakeds_: I use transmission and set up a password pretected frontend with apache | 18:50 |
| MagBo | snakeds_: but I personally use rtorrnt. | 18:50 |
| MagBo | JokesOnYou77: is Apache HTTP server still alive? o_0 | 18:51 |
| snakeds_ | I need use what is more easyer to install, i'm jsut a student with very low experience | 18:51 |
| TJ- | MagoBo .... you'll need to be more specific about how you determine the 'failure to read' ... For a boot-time LUKS the initrd needs to include cryptsetup and crypttab entries and supporting kernel modules and binaries | 18:51 |
| snakeds_ | install and run, ofcourse... | 18:51 |
| JokesOnYou77 | MagBo: that was a joke, right? | 18:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | snakeds_: i have transmission also with password prteded frontend + ssl proxied thru nginx | 18:51 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: nice1 ! | 18:52 |

| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: How often did you get that problem with the top bar in 13.10 Unity? | 18:52 |
| snakeds_ | i think it'll take me 2 hours to install completely | 18:52 |
| === thomas is now known as Guest44582 | ||
| snakeds_ | I didn't catch what transmission-daemon have to do with Web UI ? | 18:53 |
| JokesOnYou77 | snakeds_: It's not overly complicated. There is documentation on the transmission website and if you follow along and do some googleing oyu should be ok | 18:53 |
| snakeds_ | Is web Ui the manager? | 18:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: not too often. but then again this laptop can be on for days at a time | 18:53 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: here's mine: http://oi41.tinypic.com/14vqqdf.jpg | 18:53 |
| MagBo | TJ-: great! Thanks, I'll look at initrd. Sorry, I really didn't thought that Ubuntu doesn't load all the needed stuff. But in case of encrypted swap it's just very strange because I have literally untouched fstab and cryptsetup generated by Ubuntu installer and it says "Failed to mount cryptswap1 S to skip, ...". I can lurk the logs but I thought that it's a common problem :) | 18:53 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Ok. I just am testing now to see how many times it goes missing. Now 2 times already without it missing. | 18:54 |
| MagBo | snakeds_: it's backend for WebUI. | 18:54 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: If it continues probably will go with xfce. | 18:54 |
| JokesOnYou77 | snakeds_: When you install the program you have the option of just running a background daemon that will download torrents for you and then you connect to that daemon from another computer over the web | 18:54 |
| pero | is there anyway i can control the CLI parameters that the gmail unity web app is launched with? | 18:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | snakeds_: transmission-daemon comes with a web interface ... its safest to reverse proxy it thru a real web server | 18:54 |

| TJ- | MagBo: Ubuntu does correctly set-up the initrd image for cryptsetup... I used it extensively. However, you might have a syntax error in the crypttab that prevents the initramfs hooks from working as expected. To check that, I often do "update-initramfs -vuk all 2>&1 | tee /tmp/initrd.log" and then review the log afterwards, searching for "crypt" | 18:55 |

| Jordan_U | Ziber: It looks like Ubuntu does have bash configured with a terminal setting escape in $PS1, so modifying $PS1 would make sense. What is the output of "echo $PS1" for you? | 19:05 |
| snakeds_ | sounds complicated for me hitsujiTMO. | 19:05 |
| MagBo | snakeds_: really simple way to access your stuff would be to ssh-tunnel. I made a simplistic autossh wrapper that does that — https://github.com/manpages/tunnel | 19:05 |
| TJ- | snakeds_: I use that to my server for having it mirror important/rare ISOs | 19:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | snakeds_: its actually really easy. | 19:05 |
| lotuspsychje | Serus: install the package, logout ubuntu and re-login to cinnamon | 19:05 |
| Serus | Awesome | 19:05 |
| snakeds_ | ok i'll install the transmission-daemon with the web UI | 19:06 |
| snakeds_ | And after i think about some ssh-tunnel | 19:06 |
| Ziber | Jordan_U: I have set it custom: [\u@\h] (\w) $ | 19:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | snakeds_: just do it one step at a time. get the daemon running. get the interface running. get the reverse proxy running. add the auth. add the ssl. | 19:06 |
| Serus | lotuspsychje, awesome, thanks | 19:06 |
| snakeds_ | I guess in maybe 2 hours i'm done | 19:06 |

| Serus | Is there a dev channel for ubuntu? | 19:08 |

| MagBo | snakeds_: just add your public key to your server, then put "forward yourserver 9050" in your .xinitrc (or whatever you use to bootstrap your X server at your laptop), do "sudo apt-get install proxychains" and now you can say "proxychains firefox" and open there http://localhost:$transmission_port and connect to your server's WebUI over encrypted channel, not running SSL. | 19:08 |

| samuelq | Hi, I installed 13.10 with LVM and an encrypted root (not just home directory) and at boot I cannot enter my password. The keyboard doesn't seem to recognize input. This is only for the crypt init page. The keyboard works fine in the live-CD and selecting the boot prompt. Any ideas? | 20:19 |
| ikonia | eg: Section "Display" could contain the subsection, but you can't have the subsection on it's own | 20:19 |
| samuelq | Fyi, it's a wireless USB keyboard though I had the same issue with a cabled USB keyboard as well. | 20:19 |
| joossee | ikonia, the "Screen" section perhaps? | 20:20 |
| ikonia | joossee: it's valid for a few sections | 20:20 |

| joossee | ikonia, can i revert xorg 7.0 instead of whatever 12.04 uses? | 20:21 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: I tried that as well. It's the same whether legacy USB is "enabled" or "disabled" in the BIOS | 20:21 |
| ikonia | joossee: no, you need to use the version that comes with the distro | 20:21 |
| joossee | ikonia, ok... so do you know how i can structure this so it doesnt generate a parsing error? so i need to next it in a Screen and Monito section? | 20:22 |
| samuelq | Though with legacy disabled I can't even select Ubuntu from the boot menu. With it enabled (the default on my system) I can get past the boot menu and even enter modify the boot menu (the emacs-like window) ... it's only the crypt password entry that doesn't work | 20:22 |

| bekks | Frank81: I know several people using encrypted setup with kernels > 3.8 | 20:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: might be an old bug re-occuring https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/229732 | 20:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 229732 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) "USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs" [Low,Fix released] | 20:28 |
| bekks | Frank81: So that doesnt qualify it to be a "gigabyte hardware releated issue". | 20:29 |
| Frank81 | samuelq thats not the problem i checked the init initram disk the drivers are in and even get loaded | 20:29 |
| Frank81 | the problem is even more tricky the keyboard works in grub befor drivers get loaded ^^ | 20:30 |
| samuelq | Frank81: Yes same here. Keyboard is fine pre-boot, in grub, and after boot (live CD) | 20:30 |
| Frank81 | there is a problem with the USB Implamentation it self some of the core coders a girl don't remember the name whanted to fix it befor some month | 20:30 |
| Frank81 | and fixed her issus but still don't works for me | 20:30 |
| Frank81 | ya for any reason it don't uses bios method to access the keyboard | 20:31 |
| Frank81 | there are tips to disable nativ USB Support and then it should work but it dosn't | 20:31 |
| samuelq | When I tried that I couldn't use my keyboard in grub either | 20:31 |
| Frank81 | right that | 20:31 |
| Frank81 | exactly same here and i got this problem as soon as kernel got newer as 3.8 | 20:32 |
| Frank81 | i even installed the pre versions of 13.10 | 20:32 |
| Frank81 | but couldn't submit a bug since all always say i can't verify it | 20:32 |
| Frank81 | now i can with you | 20:33 |
| Frank81 | and you even did fresh install | 20:33 |
| david38400 | Can anyone help please. I have just changed from Linux Mint to Ubuntu 12, but I need to feel my way around. I use Thunderbird and can't find any addresses. Is there any way I can get access to my old addresses or have I lost them forrever? | 20:33 |
| samuelq | Yes this is a fresh 13.10 install as of a few hours ago. | 20:33 |
| Frank81 | submit a bug report | 20:33 |
| Frank81 | on lunchpad | 20:33 |
| Frank81 | and tell me link i verfiy it | 20:33 |
| bean__ | david38400: is this a fresh install? | 20:33 |
| joossee | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/Qte1ZfHT UPDATED | 20:33 |
| david38400 | Complete fresh | 20:34 |
| jeff__ | i use cinnamon 2.0 as my desktop , love it! | 20:34 |
| david38400 | sorry completely fresh | 20:34 |
| jeff__ | using ubuntu 13.10 | 20:34 |
| bean__ | david38400: so your data that thunderbird had on your old install is gone then, no? | 20:34 |
| david38400 | It seems that way...... yes | 20:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | are ye able to chroot in and run an apt-get upgrade incase the affect package has already been fixed? | 20:35 |
| david38400 | bean__ Can you help at all? | 20:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Frank81: samuelq ^^ | 20:35 |
| bean__ | david38400: I'd say you're probably out of luck there unless you have a backup. They were likely stored locally in thunderbird. | 20:35 |
| samuelq | Wait what? | 20:35 |
| rustuptwist | i am using a Mac but I want to create a bootable USB stick for a windows PC laptop. the OSX usb instructions seem off. What is the best way to achieve what I am wanting? | 20:35 |
| samuelq | Frank81 hitsujiTMO: Should I create the launchpad issue? | 20:36 |
| david38400 | bean__ A shame, I will have to check on Thunderbird web...... Thanks a lot | 20:36 |
| bekks | rustuptwist: do you use ubuntu? | 20:36 |
| joossee | rustuptwist, why are you here? | 20:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: can you try and chroot in first and ensure all packages are up to date. there has already been a fix released for a similar issue | 20:37 |
| Hecter | Hi! can you give me a headstart on finding what i miss, i am following this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 20:37 |
| adamk | joossee: You need to put that Display SubSection inside a Screen Section. | 20:37 |
| rustuptwist | bekks: not currently. I am planning to put it on a Compaq laptop. I have used in the past. I am here to get help, info, empowerment. | 20:37 |
| Frank81 | hitsujiTMO: ya i am in no problem i simply boot old kernel | 20:37 |
| rustuptwist | joossee: ^^ | 20:37 |
| Frank81 | samuelq: make the bug | 20:37 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: It's a fresh install of 13.10 ... you want me to boot via the live CD again and try to update the packages? | 20:37 |

| jamescarr | did it change? | 20:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Frank81: and your's is completely uptodate? | 20:37 |
| Frank81 | since month its updated to the edge | 20:38 |
| HassanJ | Can anyone help, please? | 20:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: please, there was an update to intramfs-tools after the cd release for a similar issue | 20:38 |
| bekks | Hecter: whats the exact issue? | 20:38 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: Okay I'll try updating it first then ... | 20:38 |
| foghsho | I have a (hopefully) quick question. I have 3x Apple Xserve 2,2. They have OSX Server on them, and I want to install Ubuntu... however I am told that there is an EFI Boot issue. Just wondering if anyone has any idea on what I'm talking about, and how to move forward with the installs | 20:38 |
| joossee | adamk, i did? does the pastebin not reflect that? | 20:38 |
| adamk | joossee: The xorg.conf file you pasted is only three lines long... | 20:39 |
| joossee | oh my bad | 20:39 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: Maybe a stupid question ... what would be the easiest way to do that? Boot into the live-CD and chroot to the encrypted fresh install? | 20:39 |
| Frank81 | samuelq: no need since month i update and reboot always when changes to he kernel or init happen | 20:39 |
| Frank81 | nothing changed | 20:39 |
| HassanJ | I have a WD external HDD and when I plug it, it doesn't get detected by Ubuntu. How can I browse the disk content? | 20:39 |
| joossee | adamk, ikonia http://pastebin.com/wxFPYFVH | 20:39 |
| Hecter | bekks : im trying to use my SSH access to allow ftp uploads for /var/www | 20:39 |
| HassanJ | The HDD has in-built driver but it's for windows, of course. | 20:39 |
| bekks | Hecter: and whats the exact issue? | 20:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: would seem to be ... i don't use encryption so i don't know whats invovled in mounting the encrypted partition | 20:40 |
| adamk | joossee: I *believe* every Screen section needs at least an Identifier. | 20:40 |
| joossee | adamk, like monitor-id ? | 20:40 |
| joossee | samuelq, i can help you in a few mins probably | 20:40 |
| MonkeyDust | adamk screen -S [name] | 20:41 |
| samuelq | Frank81: It shouldn't take too long to test. Either way I think i'll file a bug as if this is really the fix they need a new live install CD. This is a show stopper for anybody using encrypted root partitions. | 20:41 |
| adamk | MonkeyDust: What? | 20:41 |
| adamk | joossee: Just some generic identifier. Can be anything, really. | 20:41 |
| Hecter | when i try to log in im getting : ERROR:> [11/6/2013 4:30:20 AM] Control connection closed. | 20:41 |
| adamk | joossee: And I'm not even completely sure it's necessary now. It certainly was a while ago. | 20:41 |
| Frank81 | samuelq: do so i ll watch joossee so he cant run away and he helps us the n | 20:41 |
| joossee | adamk, iam looking at the xorg documentation but i am not clear ongeneric identifier? | 20:41 |
| adamk | joossee: Give it a name. Any name. | 20:42 |
| adamk | Identifier "SomeName" | 20:42 |
| bekks | Hecter: then your overall setup is wrong. Most likely a firewall is blocking port 20, e.g. | 20:42 |
| joossee | adamk just after the screen section declaration? | 20:42 |
| ShadowStrider | Can someone help me with KDE problem? | 20:42 |
| adamk | joossee: Yep. | 20:43 |
| ShadowStrider | I can't log in to kde because I messed up with amd driver update | 20:43 |
| Hecter | bekks : i will look into solving the firewall, im following this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 20:43 |
| bekks | Hecter: Basically forget that guide. | 20:43 |
| Hecter | you have a better guide? | 20:43 |
| foghsho | Anyone have experience with installing to a mac machine? I'm concerned with the EFI | 20:44 |
| adamk | ShadowStrider: So the problem isn't really with KDE, but with your driver? | 20:44 |
| ShadowStrider | yeah I think so | 20:44 |
| bekks | Hecter: you dont need a guid for changing five well documented options in the config file. | 20:44 |
| ShadowStrider | and my wlan is not working when I'm not logged in KDE | 20:44 |
| adamk | ShadowStrider: Does your X server just not start up? | 20:45 |
| ShadowStrider | no | 20:45 |
| ShadowStrider | startx | 20:45 |
| bekks | ShadowStrider: No. Dont use startx. | 20:45 |
| ShadowStrider | what then? | 20:45 |
| joossee | samuelq, `what problem are you having? | 20:45 |
| adamk | ShadowStrider: We'll have to see the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file that is generated after you boot up. | 20:46 |
| Hecter | bekks : yeah but the problem is, im a newbie of newbies. i dont know where to look for the config file. :/ | 20:46 |
| ShadowStrider | and how do I recover that file? | 20:46 |
| bekks | ShadowStrider: start your desktop environment, like sudo service lightdm start | 20:46 |
| kgalahassa | why do not command "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" work on my ubuntu 12.10 | 20:46 |
| bekks | Hecter: /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf | 20:46 |
| ShadowStrider | sudo service lightdm start | 20:46 |
| ShadowStrider | ok | 20:46 |
| Hecter | bekks : copy that :) | 20:47 |
| bekks | kgalahassa: We dont know? Tell us which error you get. | 20:47 |
| ShadowStrider | Will do | 20:47 |
| ShadowStrider | be back soon ---> | 20:47 |
| samuelq | joossee: At boot I cannot enter the password for my root partition. The keyboard doesn't work. | 20:48 |
| Frank81 | Joossee Samuelq and me have the same problem NO USB Keyboard works after grube since Ubuntu Kernel Newer then 3.8 | 20:48 |
| joossee | samuelq, o...k. you have an unencrypted boot partition yes? | 20:48 |
| samuelq | joossee: USB keyboard ... Works fine pre-boot, grub, and live CD. Only doesn't work when entering the root partition decryption key. | 20:48 |
| Frank81 | the usb hid driver get loaded | 20:48 |
| === GZA-Genius is now known as GZA-AFK | ||
| joossee | samuelq, ok so everything works fine up until "Enter passphrase: "? | 20:48 |
| Frank81 | we both have full encrypted LVM | 20:48 |
| samuelq | joossee: Yes boot is unencrypted (I'm assuming!), the root is encrypted. | 20:48 |
| samuelq | joossee: Yes. | 20:49 |
| Frank81 | joossee thats right | 20:49 |
| Frank81 | and even after boot all works right | 20:49 |
| samuelq | Fyi, fresh install of 13.10 and I just checked the "Encrypt the entier disk ..." checkbox | 20:49 |
| kgalahassa | bekks, ok, see: http://pastebin.com/sCr2jq3A | 20:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: Frank81 actually looking again, the fix still hasn't been pushed through | 20:49 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: :( | 20:49 |
| Frank81 | where is it | 20:49 |
| Frank81 | i patch my self | 20:49 |
| joossee | samuelq, and youve tried just entering the correct passphrase and hitting enter at the prompt? | 20:49 |
| Frank81 | i only need to know what is happening | 20:50 |
| bekks | kgalahassa: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 20:50 |
| samuelq | It doesn't accept any keyboard input. | 20:50 |
| Frank81 | joossee even the keyboard led's don't works and even strg + alt + entf | 20:50 |
| joossee | cuz i am using that exact same system right now with usb keyboard and works fine. ive never had a problem with this on any bootsticks either | 20:50 |
| Frank81 | don't works | 20:50 |
| samuelq | joossee: ^ ... I tried with two USB keyboards. One wireless and one cabled. | 20:50 |
| Frank81 | so entering key brings nothing | 20:50 |
| Frank81 | my is cabled too | 20:50 |
| kgalahassa | bekks, it does'nt work. | 20:50 |
| joossee | ok what kind of screen are you in when entering the passphrase? | 20:50 |
| joossee | like graphical ornomodeset or what? | 20:51 |
| samuelq | I would have tried a PS2 keyboard but I don't have one anymore | 20:51 |
| bekks | kgalahassa: then pastebin the entire output of that command please | 20:51 |
| Frank81 | the same screen a alwys the normal enter passpharse screen | 20:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: Frank81: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/0.103ubuntu1.1 | 20:51 |
| samuelq | I forget the exact text but it's a black boot screen and it asks for the password to decrypt the partition. It's after grub. | 20:51 |
| Frank81 | the blue one and even if i got directly into the console | 20:51 |
| Frank81 | it works | 20:51 |
| Frank81 | as in screen so the usb driver has a problem | 20:51 |
| joossee | samuelq, huh that weird. you installed from a LiveCD? | 20:52 |
| samuelq | joossee: Yes 13.10 live CD | 20:52 |
| DJJeff | does anyone know what happen to the ubuntu version of inssider | 20:52 |
| samuelq | I just booted into the live CD fine and am able to decrypt/access the root partition. I just can't enter the password at boot. | 20:52 |
| bekks | DJJeff: Whats that? | 20:52 |
| kgalahassa | bekks, ok see this : http://pastebin.com/KZ7ELksv | 20:53 |
| DJJeff | or have a suggestion for an alt program like (inssider, netstumbler) | 20:53 |
| joossee | samuelq, hrmmm... you using a US intl keyboard in which USB port? | 20:53 |
| Frank81 | Urgency: | 20:53 |
| Frank81 | Low Urgency | 20:53 |
| samuelq | joossee: Yes wireless USB Microsoft comfort keyboard 5000 | 20:53 |
| bekks | kgalahassa: I doubt thats the entire output. | 20:53 |
| Frank81 | lol that is urgs | 20:53 |
| Frank81 | i should shoot the person who rated that as not urgent | 20:54 |

| Frank81 | download and apply that | 20:55 |
| ShadowStrider | Hey I tried sudo service lightdm startbut it said unknow service | 20:56 |
| samuelq | Frank81: Can I just add the module at boot for now? | 20:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | seems its missing the usb host driver required for your chipsets | 20:56 |
| ShadowStrider | any ideas how to proceed? | 20:57 |
| Frank81 | samuelq right that | 20:57 |
| Frank81 | you need to add it to the intiram disk | 20:57 |
| Frank81 | tutorials are around | 20:57 |
| ShadowStrider | And btw I've Kxstudio 64 bit 12.04.3 installed | 20:57 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: Ok ... this is progress now | 20:57 |
| bekks | ShadowStrider: You have to install lightdm first... | 20:57 |
| kgalahassa | bekks, ok, a minute please | 20:58 |
| Frank81 | i will probally wait till the commited fix is aviable | 20:58 |
| joossee | samuelq, ok my only suggestion is to install from an actuall install CD and do the paritioning mnually or barring that using guided. | 20:58 |
| joossee | good luck | 20:58 |
| ShadowStrider | but my internet connection doesn't work if I'm not on KDE | 20:58 |
| Frank81 | and update then but good to know that some one has done something | 20:58 |
| Frank81 | after half a year | 20:58 |
| ShadowStrider | I can't locate eg www.google.com | 20:58 |
| bekks | ShadowStrider: And I strongly doubt kxstudio is supported in here. | 20:58 |
| Frank81 | today is a good day | 20:58 |
| ShadowStrider | yeah but it's ubuntu based | 20:58 |
| samuelq | joossee: Yeah I don't think that'll work as the end result would be the same. The encyrpted disk won't be able to be decrypted at boot because of the missing USB support. Looks like hitsujiTMO has a possible fix though. | 20:58 |
| bekks | ShadowStrider: Doesnt matter, it isnt supported in here. | 20:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: chroot to the drive, edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules add: ohci_pci run: update-initramfs -u and you should be ok hopefully | 20:59 |
| ShadowStrider | So what should I do? | 20:59 |

| bekks | Hecter: Thats not a bad guide. We told it to you yesterday already, that it isnt possible. | 21:02 |
| bekks | ShadowStrider: We dont know. | 21:02 |
| joossee | thanks to adamk and ikonia andall others | 21:02 |

| joossee | its been a three day odyssey and i am changed man. thank you and goodnight! | 21:02 |
| bekks | ShadowStrider: You could just use Ubuntu. | 21:02 |
| ShadowStrider | well | 21:03 |
| ShadowStrider | Uninstall that and then install kxstudio on top of ubuntu? | 21:03 |

| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: in what way? how did you screw up? | 21:16 |
| mercutio | ok so probably no-one using trusty with X :) | 21:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | mercutio: try #ubuntu+1 | 21:16 |
| mercutio | what's #ubuntu+1? | 21:16 |
| wilee-nilee | mercutio, 14.04? I am | 21:16 |
| foghsho | Anyone have experience with installing to a mac machine? I'm concerned with the fact that Macs run EFI (no BIOS) and was curious about it | 21:17 |
| samuelq | Not sure exactly but I don't think I properly created the initrd ... it's a clean install so if i can't fix it'm just going to reinstall and try again | 21:17 |
| mercutio | ohh | 21:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | mercutio: #ubuntu+1 is for the beta | 21:17 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: ^^ | 21:17 |
| mercutio | thanks | 21:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: are you still in the chroot? | 21:18 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: No I rebooted and it didn't boot. I just restarted into the live CD again. | 21:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: can you remember the exact commands you did? | 21:18 |
| supNow | could use some help and am hoping not to be tossed around to other channels due to the nature of the issue. I'm getting an issue when trying to import a file to sql on ubuntu server. It's suggesting that it might be file size setting in the php.ini. I went ahead and ajusted anything related to the max file size and still get the same error. The php.ini file I edited was found in etc/php5/apache2 is that the one I should edit or does ubuntu server 13.10 have | 21:19 |
| supNow | it located somewhere else? | 21:19 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: Yes. 1) I mounted the encrypted partition (worked). 2) Mounted /boot to it (worked). 3) Added ochi_pci to the module list 4) Ran update-initramfs -u | 21:19 |
| daftykins | supNow: did you restart the daemons after the config file change? | 21:19 |
| supNow | the sql file is only 5.4m | 21:19 |
| andreb | hi all | 21:20 |
| supNow | daftykins, I ended up rebooting the entire system, would that do it? | 21:20 |
| daftykins | supNow: so what was the *actual* error? rather than what it suggested | 21:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: try doing a full mount set for the chroot. mount /dev /sys /proc and /dev/pts | 21:21 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: Oh yeah I did /dev, /sys, and /proc. I didn't do /dev/pts though | 21:21 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: Let me try it again with all four. Hang on | 21:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | i've found i've needed /dev/pts with uefi, can't remember exactly what for | 21:22 |
| andreb | question : i am trying to mount a ntfs share from one of my windows box ... i am using this command "sudo mount -t cifs -o username=test,dir_mode=0775,gid=1005 //192.168.10.1/backups /media/winshare" .... I created a group call cifshares and added my user to it.... i run the command it prompts for the password i enter it..and it mounts the drive.,... but my user cant write to the share... if | 21:22 |
| andreb | i use the same command and do uid=1000 and remove gid=1005 .. the user can write... any ideas what i am doign wrong ? | 21:22 |
| supNow | daftykins, let me try again so I can pull up the exact error | 21:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | andreb add rw to the options | 21:23 |
| samuelq | hitsujiTMO: Should I include my /boot mounted as well? | 21:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | samuelq: if its a seperate mount then yeah | 21:24 |

| auronandace | hackujin: by default it would look for the next lts (14.04 isn't released yet) | 21:47 |
| hackujin | I also edited /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set to normal but that upgrade fails | 21:47 |
| WobbleHeadDoll | Greetings everybody. | 21:47 |
| hackujin | I'd like to get it to 13.10 if possible | 21:47 |
| wilee-nilee | hackujin, wait till 14.04 is out for the lts | 21:47 |
| hackujin | is it impossible to upgrade to 13.10 ? | 21:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | hackujin: getting to 13.10 involves 3 upgrades | 21:48 |
| WobbleHeadDoll | Has anybody had any luck getting ATI Legacy drivers to work on XServer 1.13? | 21:48 |
| Calinou | you need to do 12.04 to 12.10 then 12.10 to 13.04 then 13.04 then 13.10 :) | 21:48 |
| Calinou | lengthy, but possible | 21:48 |
| wilee-nilee | hackujin, dual boot 13.10 transfer your stuff, and get it setup how yo like. | 21:48 |

| hitsujiTMO | WobbleHeadDoll: what kernel do you have? | 21:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | WobbleHeadDoll: uname -r | 21:49 |
| hackujin | so how do i make it detect 12.10 update? | 21:49 |

| Frank81 | Hi | 21:52 |
| Frank81 | samuelq: all works | 21:52 |
| WobbleHeadDoll | I heard it may also be because the XServer is 1.13 and the legacy drivers only support XServer 1.12. | 21:52 |
| Frank81 | i am so happy more then happy after more then 6 month i have now the new kernel and all works with usb | 21:52 |
| hackujin | Problem is I'm using this https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/apache2 for apache 2.4.x | 21:52 |
| hackujin | You guys know of any way to fix the conflict? | 21:53 |
| samuelq | Frank81: Everything worked? | 21:53 |
| Frank81 | hitsujiTMO: thx you 100 times for posting this bug link it worked 100% well i am so happy if you need anything coding related add me ask me i can help you probally | 21:53 |
| Frank81 | samuelq: all like a charm now | 21:53 |
| samuelq | Can you share exactly what you did for chroot/update? I tried it an bonked my install :/ | 21:53 |
| Frank81 | adding the ohci_pci driver is 100% the problem | 21:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | seems last supported version that can run that card is 12.04 (not 12.04.2 or 12.04.3) | 21:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | WobbleHeadDoll: ^ | 21:54 |
| Frank81 | i don't needed to chroot into my install i got a old working 3.8 kernel i booted it and it worked | 21:54 |
| Frank81 | but since your is a fresh install i give you now one big advice | 21:54 |
| WobbleHeadDoll | Is it possible to downgrade my 12.04.3 LTS 64-Bit installing to a 12.04 installation without having to go through the process of downloading and reinstalling the entire OS? | 21:54 |
| Frank81 | reinstall without LVM | 21:54 |
| samuelq | Frank81: lol | 21:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | !yay | Frank81 unfortunately didn't go so smoothly for samuelq | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Frank81 unfortunately didn't go so smoothly for samuelq: Glad you made it! :-) | 21:54 |
| Frank81 | it makes only problems and if you realy whant some parts un encrypted encrypt em | 21:55 |
| Frank81 | but i can tell you sha1 is cracked allready | 21:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | WobbleHeadDoll: not sure tbh, it's not something i've ever tried | 21:55 |
| Frank81 | and you don't need the NSA for that since people like me have amazon accounts the encryption is not worth it | 21:55 |
| WobbleHeadDoll | Ok, thank you hitsujiTMO. Perhaps some research on Google might be able to provide me with answers. Thank you for all your help! | 21:55 |
| Frank81 | there are realy effectiv matching attaks against the encryption | 21:56 |

| brontosaurusrex | jawohl | 21:59 |
| Frank81 | i use skype on ubuntu and its wine ported when it makes sounds | 21:59 |
| Frank81 | i get a realy bad signal sound that don't stops until i stop the application | 22:00 |
| Frank81 | a realy realy bad sound realy hurting | 22:00 |
| Frank81 | it has something to do with pulse audio driver i think :D what can i do | 22:00 |
| Frank81 | and one other big big problem if me is i have one Application that window the top of it is always out of screen so i cant realy move it | 22:00 |
| Frank81 | how can i get it back into the screen :D | 22:01 |

| Frank81 | i am so happy cant stop typing that sorry | 22:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Frank81: not very knowledgeable about wine i'm afraid. I avoid it like the plague. Why not use the native binary? | 22:02 |
| Rory | hitsujiTMO: The version of Skype for Linux just flat out isn't as good as the Windows version | 22:03 |
| Rory | It's about 2 years behind | 22:03 |
| Frank81 | Rory: its a wine port there is no skype for linux | 22:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | I see ... | 22:03 |

| Frank81 | Download it install it look whats get created with checkinstall or else you will see it | 22:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | frank most of my audio issues are with pulse audio ... i have 2 installs with the same intel audio. crackling on the install that has pulse, crisp clean sound on the one without. dropping the audio levels in the pam control fixes the issue for others | 22:05 |
| bekks | Frank81: There is no such thing as a "skype wine version". There is a windows binary that may be executed under wine. | 22:05 |
| Frank81 | thx a lot hitsujiTMO | 22:05 |
| Jpmh | Frank81: I have not tested it recently but I certainly in the past have run skype on both Macs and Ubuntu and have NEVER installed wine | 22:06 |
| Frank81 | bekks ok there is a Skype Package that uses WINE | 22:06 |
| Frank81 | Jpmh look do find / -iname 'wine' | 22:06 |
| Frank81 | and look what you get :D | 22:06 |
| Frank81 | i examined the skype port early coz i try since years to reverse engeneere some parts of it | 22:07 |
| bekks | Frank81: There isnt. You can use the Windows binary using wine, thats all. | 22:07 |

| FrancisH | any help with my irc problem? | 22:14 |
| kgalahassa | bekks, I'm trying. | 22:14 |
| Rory | FrancisH: Can you see the port is open when you use nmap? (nmap hostname -p portnum) | 22:15 |
| Rory | FrancisH: Or try telnetting to that port and see if you get immediately kicked off (telnet hostname portnum) | 22:15 |
| FrancisH | one sec rory | 22:15 |
| FrancisH | yeah i get right away kicked off | 22:16 |
| FrancisH | what does that mean? | 22:17 |
| Rory | FrancisH: It means there's nothing actually listening on that port | 22:18 |
| FrancisH | ok…so what do i have to do? | 22:19 |
| Rory | FrancisH: If you run "netstat -tulpn" you can see what port (if any) it's listening on. Are you sure it's actually even running? | 22:19 |
| Rory | FrancisH: Might have to use sudo netstat -tulpn | 22:19 |
| FrancisH | no I see the ranges set in the conf file, so 6665 to 6669 | 22:20 |
| Frank81 | wow | 22:20 |

| Rory | FrancisH: ^^^ | 22:21 |
| Rory | wow | 22:21 |

| wilee-nilee | disappearedng, uefi is a mystery for most of us, the manufacturers have their own versions, as I stated the ubuntu forum has a couple of people on every day focused on this.

| sventon | hi all, I followed the instructions here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx to create a bootable USB stick but then rebooting the USB are not found | 23:40 |
| joossee | Rory, ok awesomethank you. to help: from what ive read this is a newish card and thepeoplemakingpsots dont seem to clear about whether thevy connected a 2 or 5 ghz... | 23:40 |
| silveira | dbk0, a "lspci" might tell you what ubuntu sees as your sound chipset | 23:41 |
| rch-matt | having an issue with ubuntu laptop switching screens on ubuntu 13.04.03 lts. gives the error: requested position/size for crtc 148 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1366,0) size=(1920, 1080), maximum=(1920,1920) | 23:41 |
| Rory | joossee: Can you pastebin "sudo lspci -vvv" it will be very long | 23:41 |
| Rory | joossee: You might have to do "sudo lspci -vvv > outputfile" and then open "outputfile" ina text editor, to stop the terminal chopping off the start of the output | 23:41 |
| joossee | Rory, roger thAT | 23:42 |

| Pinkamena_D | I am sorry for my jumpy responses in the past. I am still looking for how to resolve hostnames of windows machines on my ubuntu box. From another windows box which is not registered to the domain, the names will still work and ping correctly, so this should not be as complicated as I throught at first | 23:42 |
| chomwitt | i always see https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-help/index.html in greek language. how can i see it in english? | 23:42 |
| Pinkamena_D | when I use the ping command, am I supposed to be putting just the name or smb:\\thename or something else? | 23:42 |
| Pinkamena_D | (I have tried both of those) | 23:43 |
| silveira | Pinkamena_D, have you tried putting entires for the windows machines in your "hosts" file? | 23:43 |
| Power1 | it looks like i need to rub apt-get -f install but I have no space on boot to install the new kernel here is the paste bin when running the perge command http://paste.ubuntu.com/6367520/ | 23:43 |
| Pinkamena_D | they have dynamic ips | 23:43 |
| dkb0 | silveira: hmm, my headphones do work actually. i don't think there's anything wrong with my speakers though. | 23:43 |
| dkb0 | anyway, here's this: http://pastebin.com/NkSLNbnD | 23:44 |
| Rory | chomwitt: When you visit that page, does the URL change? | 23:44 |
| silveira | dbk0, in that case there might be a mixer setting for output level, to switch between the low output range good for headphones and the higher output range needed for speakers. | 23:44 |

| joossee | Rory, http://pastebin.com/yelmJ9LQ i pasted the part for the NIC in question, which convenenitly appeared at the very bottom. can report wholeif necessary | 23:45 |
| Guest6558 | ciao a tutti | 23:45 |

| chomwitt | Rory: no | 23:45 |
| silveira | dbk0, sometimes it's called "external amp" or something like that | 23:45 |
| dkb0 | silveira: where would that be configured? didn't find anything in alsamixer. | 23:46 |
| Rory | joossee: Says it's been removed | 23:46 |
| joossee | Rory, let me see again.. i have tomanually type pastebin urls | 23:47 |
| Rory | joossee: Use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:47 |
| silveira | dbk0, it would be configured somewhere in alsamixer, usually | 23:47 |
| joossee | Rory, http://pastebin.com/yeimJ9LQ | 23:47 |
| joossee | Rory, ^^ thats the right one | 23:47 |
| joossee | Rory, sorry im ircingonphysicallyseperate machine | 23:47 |
| silveira | dbk0, are these speakers with a builin amp which might not be getting powerright now, or something like that? | 23:48 |
| dkb0 | silveira: dammmnnn, i feel incredibly dumb. the speakers became unplugged, that should have been the first thing i checked for. | 23:48 |
| dkb0 | thanks for the help | 23:49 |
| silveira | a ha :) | 23:49 |
| wafflejock_ | dkb0: haha always step 1 check for power :) | 23:49 |
| Rory | joossee: Hmmm, still nothing more specific to be gleaned from that. Does it have a more specific model number on the box or on the card itsself? | 23:49 |
| dkb0 | i'll keep that in mind next time | 23:49 |
| wafflejock_ | dkb0: I always laugh when I see that in troubleshooting manuals but apparently it's a good idea :) | 23:49 |
| joossee | Rory, what wouldi belooking for... it came with a CD for windows, might those inf files have morespecificity? i can read the card but i will have topower down server and remove it which is kinda pain in butt? | 23:50 |
| Power1 | it looks like i need to run apt-get -f install but I have no space on boot to install the new kernel. Here is the paste bin when running the perge command http://paste.ubuntu.com/6367520/ | 23:50 |
| joossee | Rory, they only make one model of this card, again its relatively new | 23:51 |
| Rory | joossee: Basically, I've reached the limit of my ability. Go on this page [ http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k ] and ctrl-F for AR93 - you will see 4 possible models highlighted. If you can somehow determine if your card is a AR9331 you will know that dual-band isn't suported by the driver | 23:51 |
| Rory | joossee: But I can't work out how to make it give anything more specific than "AR93XX" | 23:52 |
| joossee | Rory, from reading the inf files i believe it is 9330 does thay make sense? | 23:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | joossee: lscpi -nn | 23:52 |
| wafflejock_ | joossee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2032357 | 23:53 |
| silveira | joossee, if this is a pci card, you could get the pci id numbers at boot time, and from that know your model number | 23:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | joossee: lscpi -nn | Network that will give the pci and ven ids | 23:53 |
| Power1 | I think my apt-get is broken | 23:54 |
| Rory | joossee: Ah then that probably means it's not supported at 5GHz since in the context of that inf file, 9330 probably means "933X" and the only chip matching that in the driver is the AR9331 which has single-band support only | 23:54 |
| joossee | Rory, ok but I mean... are you saying the hardware doesnt physically support 5ghzor just the driver im running? | 23:54 |
| Serus | is it me, or is VLC's quality worse on linux? | 23:54 |
| Rory | joossee: I mean the ath9k driver doesn't support it; the hardware does, physically, in theory | 23:55 |
| joossee | Serus, display drivers on ubuntu are wrose..specially amd | 23:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | Serus: vlc just sucks in general | 23:55 |
| AcidRain2012 | ive made full backups of all of my files. i would like to completely reinstall the unity desktop. how can i do this? | 23:55 |
| Serus | I use nvidia drivers I think | 23:55 |
| pero | hitsujiTMO: do reco something better... | 23:55 |
| AcidRain2012 | when i boot into unity, every window leaves trails. looks like the entire desktop is fully broken | 23:55 |
| Serus | hitsujiTMO, that's not true, recent updates made it allot better. | 23:55 |
| bekks | Serus: Works fine here | 23:55 |
| Geo_ | it works fine here too | 23:56 |
| Serus | Could be me | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Power1: why do you think apt-get is broken | 23:56 |
| balM | Hello, I'm trying to set the correct time on my box but it doesnt work, I'm using dpkg-reconfigure tzdata to set the timezone. Any help would be appreciated, thanx. | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | I've always had issues with vlc over the last 10 or so years (or however long its been around) mainly syncing issues | 23:56 |
| joossee | Rory, Rory | 23:56 |
| wafflejock_ | hitsujiTMO: has been much better in recent times | 23:57 |
| wafflejock_ | hitsujiTMO: not sure what changed | 23:57 |
| joossee | Rory, looking at that link you posted... Mine is a PCIe model, which are all marked DB or dual band? | 23:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | in fairness i havent used it in a few years but | 23:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | balM: have you sync the time with an npt server?: sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com | 23:58 |
| Serus | bekks, yeah, it was the video. I do get a tiny bit stuttering in the beginning, but that's because the raspberry pi | 23:58 |
| Morgawr | Hello, I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask for this question but I have an intel HD4000 integrated GPU and I wanted to use OpenGL 3.2 but apparently mesa only supports OpenGL 3.0, I read that it's coming out with mesa 10 that has support for OpenGL 3.2 | 23:58 |
| Rory | joossee: I'm only going by the number, and also by the fact that you are using the ath9k driver, and clearly 5GHz isn't working :P | 23:59 |
| HomelessSanta | Howdy all, does anyone in here know how I can kill X with a shortcut key in Ubuntu? | 23:59 |
| Morgawr | I installed the mesa drivers from a more up-to-date ppa that says I have mesa 10 but it still reports opengl 3.0, does anybody know where I can check and find the 3.2 drivers? | 23:59 |
| bekks | Serus: So how did you get the nvidia chipset onto a raspi? And do you run Ubuntu on your raspi? | 23:59 |
| balM | hitsujiTMO: No I didnt, I tought there is another way to do this like date .. | 23:59 |
