[00:00] dos? no, i'm in ubuntu [00:00] LOL [00:00] how do i make my own device for inputattach? because my keypad seems to be unsupported [00:00] wolfy1339, and it said "command not found"? [00:00] dorian, It's subjective, an opinion not support. [00:00] wolfy1339: What's a lua script? [00:00] lua [00:00] thats sounds like windows! [00:00] lua is programming language [00:00] its what you use to hack payday 2 duh LOL [00:01] 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] *did not know [00:01] jhutchins: fyi, awesome(wm) uses a lot of lua [00:01] so a coke/pepsi question. what are the options? strongswan and racoon? (i've only used openbsd isakmpd) [00:01] joossee, i thought /etc/crypttab is unneded as it seems to be on at least Arch [00:02] Fruckiwacki, ive never had to use it [00:02] Fruckiwacki, saucy desktop? [00:02] wilee-nilee, that whatever its called 13.10 release cd with live desktop [00:02] 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? [00:03] ubuntu hehe [00:03] yeah, Saucy Salamander [00:03] Fruckiwacki, oh off a live CD? I have no idea.. i dont mess with that... make a bootstick instead [00:03] Fruckiwacki: press the down arrow when that happens. That is the workaround [00:03] upvote gndlp [00:04] Fruckiwacki: I have the same issue === AEM` is now known as aem` [00:04] Quote: If you replace the entries in /etc/crypttab , make sure to update the initramfs ( update-initramfs -u -k all ) [00:05] should create one first :) [00:05] Fruckiwacki, this bug especially happens with multipleencryptedpartitions [00:05] guys [00:05] Will settle for this one as it's pretty cheap if it doesn't work http://www.amazon.co.uk/Speedlink-STRIKE-PC-Gamepad-Black/dp/B00422IDJC/ref=pd_cp_vg_h__1#productDetails [00:06] are icons broken for all of you, or is it just me? [00:06] !details | sam113101 [00:06] sam113101: 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 ..." [00:06] yeah thanks for the infos, will bear that in mind once i get (physical) access to the pc again :) [00:07] can i tell my wifi signal strength from the command line? [00:07] sam113101, Yeah everyones icons are broken, lol. [00:07] wilee-nilee: really? [00:07] sam113101: I had that happen once what version are you running? [00:07] UNITY: Now with even less icons (tm) [00:08] gndlp: 13.10 [00:08] sam113101, You have frontal lobes, access them. ;) [00:08] I could never get my frontal lobes to mount :-( [00:08] sam113101: what icons exactly and how are they broken? [00:08] sam113101: No, not really [00:09] sam113101: Does the issue remain when you log in as another user, or as the Guest user? [00:09] hitsujiTMO: I get icons from the ambiance theme although I'm using radiance [00:09] bad grampa = hilarious btw [00:09] hey how do i use chmod to apply the mode R on a file [00:09] OH THE HUMANITY!!! HE HAS THE WRONG SET OF ICONS!! [00:09] and when I use the ambiance theme I get icons from the radiance theme [00:09] sam113101: in pcmanfm by any chance? [00:10] hitsujiTMO: no, in the top bar, nautilus, etc. [00:10] sam113101: try this run $sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-asset-pool then reboot [00:10] I'm trying to take a screenshot [00:10] joossee: Yes. [00:10] jhattara, just iwconfig or is there something better? [00:10] but I can't take one when there's a context menu opened… lol [00:11] joossee: bad grandpa so worth seeing? [00:11] gndlp, ya theres one scene in particular that is worth the wholemovie [00:11] how do i use chmod to apply the mode R on a file [00:11] wolfy1339, by typing man chmod [00:12] Could we maybe get back to ubuntu support, and possibly "if you don't have something helpful to say, don't say anything"?

[00:13] ok, here's an example: http://i.imgur.com/x388mxf.png [00:13] see the icon? [00:14] sam113101, you mean the signal strength, yes? [00:14] cfhowlett: no, the keyboard layout [00:14] there's a faint "Fr" [00:14] sam113101, OK [00:14] it's supposed to be dark gray, same as other icons [00:15] Hello users..this is a really educational facebook page for everyone and with variuos topics..please support it (like) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Educationcomesfirst/582556008464181 [00:15] Hello users..this is a really educational facebook page for everyone and with variuos topics..please support it (like) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Educationcomesfirst/582556008464181 [00:15] education_cfp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I've got clients that have been using it through 12.04, but now I just get "failed to bind to LDAP server ldap:///someserver: Can't contact LDAP server" in my auth.log [00:16] cfhowlett: here's another example: http://i.imgur.com/Ww5rWBS.png [00:18] Hi all, I'm getting 'upgrade-modifier-motd' errors 28 and 35 when I try to boot 12.04LTS [00:18] It's forcing a read-only filesystem and there is no documentation about it [00:20] salamandre43025: can you post you dmesg please [00:20] hitsujiTMO: did you see my screenshots? [00:21] sam113101: yup, what tool are you using to change them, gnome-twaek-tool? [00:21] hitsujiTMO: it's a bug, it's not supposed to be this way [00:21] I want to fix it [00:22] sam113101: how did you install the theme? [00:22] hitsujiTMO: No dice. No access to the whole file system, it's all happening before the spash on boot [00:22] hitsujiTMO: I didn't, comes with ubuntu [00:22] salamandre43025: can you go into recovery mode? [00:23] sam113101: did you install the icon set to the /usr/share/icons folder? [00:23] use gnome-tweak-tool to set 'show icons in menu' [00:23] sam113101, ^ [00:23] hitsujiTMO: I didn't install anything, I just expect everything to work [00:24] 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] sam113101: you must manually put the icons there. then set them in gnome-tweak-tool [00:24] gndlp: because that's also read only [00:25] hitsujiTMO: where am I supposed to get them? [00:25] salamandre43025: have you tried remounting the filesystem? sudo mount -o remount,rw / [00:26] 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] salamandre43025: can you try and get a log out of the machine? [00:26] from recovery [00:27] 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] hitsujiTMO: I don't think you understand my problem [00:27] maybe "icon" wasn't the word [00:27] salamandre43025: /var/log/dmesg is the one i want [00:28] 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] gndlp: checking now [00:28] also a dot beside "by name" [00:29] sam113101, probably your icon theme's colors clashing with your GTK+ theme [00:30] Mapley: it happens even with a new user [00:30] and it's a new installation [00:30] sam113101, fresh settings? [00:30] Mapley: yep [00:30] Eh, derp, I'm stumped. [00:31] even crazier things happen when I plug my ipod in [00:31] (seriously) [00:31] ipods are not cool man [00:31] gndlp: command not found [00:31] why would unity even care about my ipod [00:31] 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? [00:32] hitsujiTMO: I didn't install anything [00:32] 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] it's the default theme [00:32] sam113101: so you want to change the theme to a theme that isn't installed? [00:32] salamandre43025: we are looking for something out of the norm [00:32] hitsujiTMO: no, the theme isn't working correctly [00:33] hitsujiTMO: alright, let me draw you something, lol [00:33] sam113101: ok ... so have you at least installed gnome-tweak-tool? [00:34] 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 [00:35] 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] salamandre43025: just run $ cat /var/log/dmesg [00:35] 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] in your root terminal on recovery boot [00:35] gndlp: and now it's forcing fsck to access tty [00:35] is there a way to save the currently open applications between reboots? [00:36] salamandre43025: that is normal let it do its thing [00:36] for ubuntu touch on the status page why are there still two broken features for the nexus 7 [00:36] so when i reboot it just reopens my workspace to what it was before [00:36] sam113101: install gnome-tweak-tool [00:36] v 12.04 btw [00:38] hitsujiTMO: http://i.imgur.com/XLpuNou.png === bre is now known as Booga [00:39] sam113101: its faint because it doesn't contrast well with you icon theme, so you need to change your icon theme [00:40] hitsujiTMO: what icon theme, man? it's the default one… [00:40] sam113101: exactly. [00:40] sam113101: the default icon theme is ... WHITE [00:40] hitsujiTMO: if I log out and log back in it's alright [00:40] how do you explain that? lol [00:41] sam113101: install gnome-tweak-tool and set the icon theme to ubuntu-mono-light [00:41] hitsujiTMO: it's set to ubuntu-mono-light already [00:42] sam113101: how did you set it? [00:42] reinstall/ [00:42] That's advice from a noob, though [00:43] hitsujiTMO: http://i.imgur.com/BOtouMP.png [00:43] hitsujiTMO: right click on desktop -> change desktop background -> theme -> radiance [00:43] that's how I did it [00:44] it worked fine on 13.04 and I expect it to work on 13.10 too [00:44] it's not supposed to be sorcery [00:44] (not blaming you for it btw) [00:44] yes sorcery is reserved for upstart [00:45] 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] it keeps giving me something like `git push origin : mybranch` [00:45] what about systemd? [00:45] 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] not supposed to be a space between the colon and branch [00:46] hitsujiTMO: just tried it, doesn't work [00:46] it changes other icons [00:46] but not the ones that are broken [00:46] I might have found a work around [00:47] sam113101: that might be an app dependant issue, that that particular app isn't refreshing til it's restarted [00:48] hitsujiTMO: it's not just nautilus, it's the bar, too [00:48] *the bar* [00:49] Like to know if there is a dedictated freenode channel for "network-manager" issues! [00:50] Holy jeeeez! Kde is incredibly cool! [00:50] Thanks for the advice on how to switch desktops.. [00:50] gimpygoo: it's not [00:50] it's heavy and ugly [00:50] I like it better then unity so far... [00:50] so HA! [00:50] really? [00:51] I think i just like the fact i was able to change it . [00:51] :) [00:51] 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] 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] Im falling in love with linux.... I feel amazed at my computer again. [00:52] Amazing. [00:52] gimpygoo: I am worried about you based on what you just said and your nick [00:52] lol [00:52] I kind of like and hate linux both at the same time [00:52] oh come on now :) [00:52] i just think its super cool. [00:52] thats all. [00:52] It kills windows. [00:53] gimpygoo What do you like most about ubuntu? [00:53] I like the freedom it gives me, but I can only choose between buggy software [00:53] but if you forget about anything graphical [00:53] and forget about sound [00:53] I like the fact that Im fairly new and its not as scary as I thought it would be... I feel like I have the ability to change EVERYTHING... at least i will once I learn. [00:53] etc., it's all good [00:54] CLI is good on linux [00:54] gimpygoo: I dare you to install linux commandline only [00:54] CLI? [00:54] naahh.. hnsz... [00:54] command line interface [00:54] gimpygoo: google linux from scratch [00:54] I installed the desktop environments using the terminal. [00:54] and install it [00:54] .... :) [00:54] i uhh.. have some upstart job that appears to be stuck in a reboot loop and can't stop or kill it [00:54] halp? [00:55] gimpygoo: Or try commandline only in a virtual machine [00:55] Nahh.. I dont wanna go backwards :) [00:55] myndzi: what is the job [00:55] gimpygoo: Otherwise you can always install w3m browser ;) [00:55] one i was trying to create [00:55] s [00:55] que hacen chicos [00:55] qe decis kṕo [00:56] hola [00:56] http://pastie.org/8455867 [00:56] myndzi: PEBKAC..... lol jk what stanzas do you have [00:56] gimpygoo, myndzi, gndlp ...

XD [00:58] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [00:58] myndzi: remove the respawn from the conf [00:58] HI I DONT SPEAK SPANISH [00:58] hitsujiTMO: is there a channel more appropriate for bug solving/development of ubuntu?

They seem to have not gotten the memo yet on how talking in all caps is like shouting. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [01:00] myndzi: don't add a respawn until you know the script is stable [01:00] hnsz, not helpful [01:00] hnsz: thats not appropriate for this channel [01:00] i learned that the hard way, but i still need(ed?) to know how to abort the script [01:00] wafflejock: when I reboot my computer and my ipod touch is plugged in, weird things happen, I don't know where to start looking [01:00] it seems to have resolved itself but if there's an emergency stop button i'd still like to know about it ;) [01:00] cfhowlett: Pici Fair enough. I guess I'm just happy to have gotten it out of my system. [01:01] sam113101: be more specific about weird things [01:01] !details | sam113101 [01:01] sam113101: 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 ..." [01:01] myndzi: kill -9 pid:1 that has always worked for me [01:01] gndlp: :P [01:02] wafflejock: theme inconsistency, wallpaper doesn't span across multiple monitors, the font isn't right in some apps [01:02] and all of those issues vanish when I unplug my ipod and reboot [01:02] 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? [01:03] I don't know why it would happen [01:03] it doesn't make sense [01:03] sam113101, so the OBVIOUS solution is ... [01:03] sam113101: do you encounter issues if you boot with it not plugged in but then plug it in? [01:03] sam113101: dmesg and /var/log/messages are where to start. [01:04] sam113101: Possibly Xorg.0.log or wherever the xserver logs these days. [01:04] wafflejock: no, and if I log out and log back in, the issues vanish, too [01:04] without rebooting === Guest96144 is now known as davidfg4 [01:04] Howdy, I'm looking at seeing what users a package creates. How would I go about this for the package say, 'rancid' [01:04] sam113101: So it's a GUI issue. [01:05] config --replace also fixes the issues [01:05] IIRC [01:05] scottyob: as in: dpkg -L [01:06] jhutchins: compiz bug? unity bug? light dm bug? [01:06] hitsujiTMO: I believe that just shows files. [01:06] hitsujiTMO: that shows all the files (handy) [01:06] scottyob: woops, never read your question propperly [01:06] sam113101: Yes, probably. [01:06] sam113101: you may want to re-install your DE, but digging into logs is probably the only way you'll really see what's going wrong, as others have stated here quite a few places to check [01:06] sam113101: Probably not the dm. [01:06] ok [01:06] could it be the x server itself? [01:07] sam113101: Yes. [01:07] brb, I'll investigate the thing [01:07] wish me luck [01:07] sam113101: godspeed [01:08] scottyob: you'd have to see the init scripts in the package itself afaik [01:09] sam113101: Sounds like you should be able to figure it out, document it if you can. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [01:11] ubottu Can you send me help commands?

[01:22] i just installed yesterday [01:22] on this machine [01:23] PDilyard: it was probably just the xserver choking on something [01:23] i see [01:23] PDilyard: yeah wouldn't worry unless it's happening consistently [01:23] ok thank you [01:23] PDilyard: if it happens again: thats when you need to worry [01:24] right [01:24] PDilyard: always good to back up though once you feel things are stable [01:24] yeah well the only stuff i have on this drive is windows, ubuntu, and some stuff thats on github [01:24] PDilyard, you want to aware of, rather then a hard shutdown if possible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [01:24] !reisud [01:25] my other drive has all important files on it [01:25] ok [01:25] !reisub [01:25] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [01:25] PDilyard: good move on the dedicated drives for OS vs data makes things easier I'm sure [01:26] wafflejock, yeah the OS drive is a 256GB SSD, the files drive is a 1TB HDD [01:26] PDilyard, You have the ssd using a trim setup? [01:26] what do you mean? lol [01:26] !trim [01:27] PDilyard: will hopefully do that in my next laptop, for now just on a 128GB SSD, have an external NAS I backup to occasionally but really not making the best use of it... need to get rsync setup with cron but have been too lazy so far... mostly sync stuff to a remote git server too though so not too concerned [01:27] heh not in the bot, hold on [01:27] TRIM maintains your SSD by purging outdated 'dirty' blocks of data [01:27] for data cannot be edited, only programmed or erased. [01:28] PDilyard, Here is one I use, there are many on the web get a modern one, most are the same basically. https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd [01:29] PDilyard, Not necessarily attached to a fail as you describe but a tool you want to use. [01:29] ok i'll look into it [01:29] thanks for the tip [01:29] I have a 256 gig ssd as my HD [01:29] wilee-nilee: please tell me you didn't use noatime? [01:30] wilee-nilee, just follow all the steps on that page? [01:30] PDilyard, Read carefully there is a section on a seperate home and a couple of options is all. [01:30] PDilyard: where it says noatime use relatime instead [01:31] mmmk [01:31] I thin k it is fairly understandable but feel free to ask here if needed. [01:33] 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? [01:37] 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. [01:38] hitsujiTMO: yeah was thinking backup programs but just curious.. thx will go relatime on this too then === petersaints_ is now known as petersaints [01:41] wafflejock: popularity-contest uses it: http://popcon.ubuntu.com [01:45] does anyone here use fbgs? can I use fbgs inside xorg to view pdfs?

Network shows up in the list, but it just repeatedly asks me for the password. Using an Encore Wireless N300 PCI. When I type lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net it shows rtl8192ce. Any ideas why it just won't connect? Currently on windows trying to figure it out. [01:53] lolhiimchris, Can you boot to it and use another way to communicate, from windows is a hassle. [01:54] just a suggestion is all [01:55] I can try to get on IRC on my phone, I wiped the ubuntu installation and put Windows back on because I needed a functional computer, so all I can do is boot into a LiveCD [01:55] but even on the live it doesn't connect [01:56] lolhiimchris use wired eth till you figure it out [01:56] lolhiimchris, Ah, no actual install, well not sure what to say, realtec is a hassle they don't have linux drivers take a look here, http://askubuntu.com/search?q=rtl8192ce [01:56] hi all [01:57] i have a problem with my Wireless interface [01:57] it say connected but no internet [01:57] !details | TrD [01:57] TrD: 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 ..." [01:58] is there any reason it would just break like that though? it worked perfectly fine in 13.04 and the 12.04 LTS version works fine as well [01:58] i'm assuming it's kernel related? [01:58] TrD: can you ping your router? [01:58] one second please wafflejock [01:58] yes i can wafflejock [01:59] lolhiimchris, realtec have no linux drivers all that work are reverse or nd wrappers, I would get one that just works, these are one of the worst in general. [01:59] can you nslookup an address [01:59] (lurking for INFO324 anyone ?) [01:59] one sec please [01:59] hey, in apparmor what is the difference between /var/lib/ and /var/lib/** when specifying a directory? [01:59] for ubuntu 12.04 in what path are the static quicklist entries stored ? [02:00] is ** mean all files in that directories? or recursive including directories and files within them? [02:00] or is that what / means? [02:00] i cant wafflejock [02:00] lolhiimchris, Just no real support is what you can assume. [02:02] wilee-nilee, is this a good option from TRIM? http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/enable-trim-on-ssd-solid-state-drives.html [02:02] the cron job section === Xiti` is now known as Xiti [02:03] TrD: can you ping 8.8.8.8 [02:03] it's a public DNS from google [02:03] hi I want to edit the command that loads the terminal from the Ubuntu 12.04 Quicklist (the side bar) . where is te config file located ? [02:04] TrD: if you can ping that you have a connection to the outside and DNS is breaking down somewhere if you can't ping that you may need to check out your WAN connection on the router, do you have other devices connected? [02:04] PDilyard, That is the same as the link I gave you. [02:04] ah ok [02:04] haha sorry [02:05] PDilyard, Basically, after you do this a couple of times it becomes more recognizable, I have 3 Linux installs so have done it a few times. [02:05] ok so does any one know all about apparmor? [02:05] i see === siva is now known as Guest83689 [02:05] yes i'm connected with a 3G dongle now wafflejock [02:06] !details | phix [02:06] phix: 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 ..." [02:06] TrD: I mean are any other devices connected through the router, sorry for not specifying I realize you're here :) [02:06] phix, You will know if you spell out the issues [02:07] phix generally speaking ** is all subdirectories [02:07] !apparmor | phix [02:07] phix: For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [02:07] wilee-nilee: I have already above, I got no answer so instead of repeating the question I bumped it :) [02:07] wafflejock: thank you, that is all I wanted to know [02:08] phix, Cool I missed that. [02:08] 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, [02:09] kakakal, Not much can be done to speed this up I would not really spend to much time on it. [02:09] 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] wilee-nilee: I now have it working :D You would of thought the sernet packages would of included a samba apparmor file [02:10] wilee-nilee: i am trying to prove that ubuntu is better than win8, but it is lagging [02:10] phix, I never have messed with appamour === solarbaby_ is now known as Scully [02:10] lagging in terms of small benchmarks [02:10] * daftykins is now known as Mulder [02:10] kakakal, They both have a good, bad and ugly side, you can't empirically prove one is better than the other overall. [02:11] they have their individual uses [02:11] 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 [02:12] wilee-nilee: well it is on by default since Ubuntu 7.10 :) [02:12] 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] I think that goes in the Martin Luther King "I Have a Dream" category [02:12] phix, On but blocked unless tweaked [02:13] wafflejock: why not mount them automatically, without user's consent if performance can be improved this way === lacont is now known as isteps [02:14] kakakal: it depends on your use case scenario and they aren't going to have something in the system defaults that isn't going to work for everyone is my best guess [02:14] kakakal: I agree with wilee-nilee pretty much on this though there are bigger picture issues than a small performance gain on a huge data transfer depending on what your pitching it being used for [02:15] 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] 2.8G is normal now a days, [02:16] Ok why did my wireless suddenly turn into 24mbps [02:16] rate adaptive? [02:16] It was 480mbps last night [02:16] I believe only users who want to know all the tweaks will really get the most out of linux. I am learning and it seem's like every little thing requires tweaking but I know once I get it configured right I will have uptimes of 100+ days [02:16] daftykins: What's that? [02:16] kakakal: being a pretty hardcore windows user in the past I can tell you I ended up getting into the registry and system internals plenty of times [02:16] buu: wireless connections change data speed depending on throughput typically === DareDevil is now known as Guest57182 [02:17] daftykins: I mean, when I run wget I'm only getting 24mbps [02:17] oic [02:17] has anyone installed either 13.10 or 12.04.3 on an 'ASUS Republic of Gamers G750JH-DB71 17.3" Notebook' ? ... I'm looking at maybe buying one of these and wonder if Ubuntu (or Xubuntu) will work on it with support for all the things (video, wifi, audio, etc) ... I'm looking at buying one of those (and not leave Windows 8 on it) [02:17] poor articulation sir! === ramon is now known as woodoo [02:18] wafflejock: most of peoples are not developer here, they are here to do their day to day task, like office and social media [02:18] daftykins: One of the many amusing points is I get 24mbps ... with or without the antennas connected to the card. Heh. [02:18] 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] kakakal: are they transferring DVDs on the regular? [02:18] You'd think three 8in antennas would make a slight difference [02:18] sometask are fulfilled, some are at very down side, although alternative exists [02:19] kakakal: agree there are defintiely pitfalls to every system I've ever used [02:20] I'm about to headbutt a nail here. I've just upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 and now Anthy (Japanese) isn't working. Here's the weird thing, though... if I click on the Unity jigger at the top left and type in the search box, it works just as intended, but literally nowhere else will it input Japanese. Ideas? [02:20] kakakal: which covers quite a bit, SuSe, RedHat, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, OS X, MS-DOS up around 5.x, Windows 3.1 95, 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8 [02:21] kakakal: I've been through a lot of systems over time and not one is the silver bullet which is why they're still in competition and developing [02:21] wafflejock: you are right, nothing is completely perfect but we can try to get best of it. Like facebook video calling isn't available, alternative exist in the world like skype, but why the all other people will signup and go to skype, when video call is directly available to them in their chat window [02:21] kakakal: I use Google Hangouts, I try to use services that are just available everywhere [02:22] kakakal: lots of great web based tools for sharing now that work regardless of system [02:22] Can anyone give me some pointers as to how to fix the world's slowest fucking wifi connection? [02:23] Speed or rate or something? [02:23] 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] what if, when your friends doesn't use hangouts, it hardly works on slow internet connections [02:23] lindar: no one on #ubuntu-jp knows about it? [02:23] 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] Skapare: I didn't know that was a thing. [02:24] lindar: give it a try and see if [02:24] 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] lindar: you might need to explain why you cannot talk in Japanese there :) [02:25] 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 [02:26] 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] I'm trying to install the game "Ragnarok Online" but it's not working. I tried several tutorials from the internet, but did not succeed. My system is: Xubuntu 10.13 ... please someone help me. [02:26] wafflejock: google docs is a good service [02:26] 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 [02:27] darkside_, get support from the game producers? === isteps is now known as lacont [02:27] wafflejock: i am using it only to some extent [02:27] trism: Yes, I did. You see, Anthy actually works in the Unity search bar. I can type Japanese in there, and the shortcut key to switch roma/kana actually works. === peter is now known as Guest8108 [02:27] trism: It doesn't work anywhere else, though. [02:27] kakakal: yeah I'm lucky in that I'm starting my own thing so I'm not having to deal with all the migration issues you'll face with moving a windows shop over [02:28] hola [02:28] !es|Guest1302, [02:28] Guest1302,: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[02:28] lindar: strange, not sure then, I haven't tried anthy in 13.10 yet [02:28] 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] 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] 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] trism: I'll have to try mozc. [02:29] topic* [02:30] 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? [02:31] 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] just logout then shutdown [02:32] kevin, just logout, they login in the same area right? [02:32] 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] !wine|darkside_, great! see wine support [02:32] darkside_, great! see wine support: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:33] darkside: maybe you should look into using wine then - did you research it at all?

[02:36] wilee-nilee, wafflejock: ok guys it froze again...but this time the screen didnt go grey, it just froze and i couldnt move the mouse or use the keyboard [02:36] ahh shh kevin, I did not catch that [02:37] PDilyard: still have it running right now? [02:37] yes [02:37] PDilyard: go ahead and try Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a terminal [02:37] What's the difference between broadcom-source and broadcom-dkms? [02:38] PDilyard: more than likel you're going to want to just re-install your DE, might be worth trying to back up your XOrg config though and just regenerate it too to see if it helps [02:38] PDilyard, is it swapping?

[02:43] selite: np godspeed [02:43] PDilyard: in the terminal you can backup your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file and make a new one, so you're in there now? [02:44] no [02:44] buu, make it easy. state exactly what issue you'r dealing with. asking seemingly random, unrelelated questions leads to madmess [02:44] im talking to you on the same computer [02:45] why does ubuntu keep turning off my monitors? ;[ [02:45] 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] sam113101, check your power settings [02:45] cfhowlett: they look good [02:45] sam113101, specifically behavior such as "shutdown if inactive for x minutes" [02:46] it all looks good [02:46] wafflejock: brb [02:46] "turn screen off when inactive for: Never" [02:46] 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] sam113101, so EXTERNAL monitors shutdown? [02:46] 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] wafflejock: ok, what do you want me to do in the terminal. im talking to you on my laptop now [02:47] cfhowlett: it's a desktop computer, I have two monitors [02:47] not sure what external means in that context [02:47] they really turn off, they don't just display a black image [02:47] PDilyard: alright so you're going to want to cd /etc/X11/ [02:47] sam113101, I've never done the multi-desktop configuration. Best you ask someone else. [02:48] wafflejock: ok hang on, i cannot login for some reason [02:48] 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] i type in my username, press enter, type my password and it says login incorrect :( [02:49] 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] cfhowlett: The ubuntu machine was happily doing 400mbps+ lastnight then I restarted, it, heh. [02:49] buu, sorry, not something I can address [02:49] PDilyard: not sure whats up with login though [02:49] why am I the only one having issues with 13.10? [02:49] =[ [02:49] sam113101: not true how long have you been in this chat? [02:49] wafflejock: yeah, i originally restarted to get the X display back [02:50] 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] 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? [02:51] 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] wafflejock: yep im there and i change dirs into /etc/X11 [02:53] PDilyard: so you should backup the existing Xorg.conf [02:53] cp sudo Xorg.conf Xorg.conf.bak [02:53] that came out wrong [02:53] sudo cp Xorg.conf Xorg.conf.bak [02:53] says no such file [02:53] 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?

[02:56] wafflejock: Xorg.conf doesnt exist in /etc/X11 for me [02:56] hello people ;) [02:56] if they can ssh root@server.com, they can scp root@server.com:/etc/passwd /local/file [02:56] pogiako, greetings [02:56] PDilyard: yeah for sure... huh so apparently this is moved... not sure how I haven't seen this recently http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html [02:56] i come in peace, how about u? [02:57] PDilyard: ah wrong link http://askubuntu.com/questions/304091/wheres-the-xorg-conf-d-in-13-04 I'm falling apart over here :) [02:57] pogiako, great. Do you have an ubuntu support question? [02:57] wafflejock: haha np [02:57] hi all, i am trying my hand on ureadahead, whether it is actually working or not, how to know that? i put a command [02:57] ureadahead --force-trace [02:57] now terminal is not doing anything [02:57] wafflejock: i just dont want to kill my brand new ssd [02:57] nah, just came by to say hi to our beatiful ubuntu people ;) [02:57] opc0d3: sorry, it's /etc/shadow, not /etc/passwd, but same concept [02:58] 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] it pops up a message that counted 2 CPUS [02:58] that 's it and terminal cursor stopped blinking [02:58] wafflejock: ok, im in /usr/share/X11 [02:59] opc0d3: how was your server compromised then?

Artha isn't that good [03:05] 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) [03:06] 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 [03:07] 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?

[03:15] cfhowlett: okay [03:15] hi, all, is there any advantage of UEFI on UBUNTU, i am using Ubuntu 32 bit and system is capable of 64 bit but ubuntu 32 bit is more stable than 64 bit. Will i get any performance boost if i install it on UEFI Enabled, right now it is on legacy, i also have win8 installed but there is no efi boot partition on my system, advice?? [03:15] 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] wafflejock: i installed it with apt-get and ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and there was no error but nothing happened either [03:16] kakakal, uefi or legacy have no impact on performance [03:17] cfhowlett: why they are implemented [03:17] 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] !uefi|kakakal, ! [03:17] 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.

[03:18] 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. [03:19] 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] hey, i'll add this line in fstab [03:19] 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] is this correct? /dev/sda3 /media/x_root/Files auto defaults,uid=1000,umask=1 1 1 [03:19] rtyuio [03:19] to everyone act as owner of the directory [03:19] wafflejock: DE stands for? [03:20] wafflejock: honestly not sure if reinstalling the desktop environment (unity) will replace the underlying X server [03:20] ah ok [03:20] PDilyard: yeah me either [03:20] wafflejock: would installing 13.04 or 13.10 make a difference? [03:21] or do you think it is just the DE that is causing the crashing [03:21] 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 [03:22] 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) [03:23] im on a desktop with an ethernet connection, so if wifi is the only big issue i'd be happier with that [03:23] 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] woops [03:23] wafflejock: now what would be the best way to uninstall and reinstall? [03:23] wafflejock: delete the partition and boot to a live usb? [03:24] or is there an option to install on top of the current installation? [03:24] 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] wafflejock: well i have windows on the same drive [03:24] JokerSmile, you did it, you registered? [03:24] so has anyone gotten Ubuntu 13.10 to work on an ASUS ROG? [03:25] maybe I should give up on wanting to buy that machine [03:25] 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] ok [03:25] wafflejock: thanks for your help [03:25] PDilyard: no problem sorry that was so unproductive, sometimes I hit sometimes I miss [03:26] Skapare, its the hardware not the machine, look there grasshopper.

[03:35] so which is more stable, 13.04 or 13.10? [03:35] 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] i'd go for the stable one [03:36] 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] that lacks any real detail [03:36] pogiako: 12.04 is LTS https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [03:36] >.> [03:36] can i have all the features that i have right now on 12.04? [03:36] lindar: but this is something that works OK in an earlier version of Ubuntu? [03:37] lindar: have you tried 12.04 LTS? [03:37] pogiako: lts has longer support, but may have stale software packaged... non-lts has new features and updates software packaged [03:37] pogiako: totally depends on what features you use... different repositories for different versions of ubuntu have different packages available [03:37] 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. [03:38] pogiako: basically it's a toss up between stability and cutting edge... but 12.04 will be supported security wise for longer [03:38] aw man, thats knda sad coz its old :( [03:38] april 2012 [03:38] huh? [03:38] 12.04 stands for 2012 04 (april) it's not that old [03:38] 14.04 will be the next LTS [03:39] lindar: yeah, you explained that before ... probably broken software since you know how to set it up ... or broken software packaging ...

[04:04] no idea what that is :) [04:04] !xrandr | jazz [04:04] jazz: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [04:05] ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu [04:05] existing install. [04:05] * jazz checks it out [04:05] raid not apart of the OS at all. [04:06] Package xrandr is not available, but is referred to by another package. [04:06] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [04:06] is only available from another source [04:06] However the following packages replace it: [04:06] x11-xserver-utils [04:06] jazz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:06] sorry flootbot [04:06] jazz: man xrandr [04:06] man? [04:06] jazz: open a terminal and type: man xrandr [04:06] manual [04:07] ah, right [04:07] so... what am i looking for [04:07] by the way, i cheated, i'm using debian [04:07] but the folks in #debian aren't being very helpful [04:07] jazz: this is an ubuntu channel ofcourse [04:07] * jazz nods [04:07] off with your head here. ;) [04:07] :p [04:08] i hope that's all right [04:08] i could really use the help [04:08] jazz: lucky for you we pointed you in the right direction already [04:08] no screen tearing when i unoplug the HDMI and don't mirror [04:09] jazz: but support ends here and goodle will be your xrandr friend [04:09] and google also [04:09] As a jazz musician I call Giant Steps to #debian [04:10] So presumably you're building your array via CLI correct BradTN? === din_ is now known as din === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:12] yes [04:13] 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. === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [04:16] 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] hows its redundancy and performance? [04:17] mainly this is suppose to be storage for media to be streamed throughout house [04:17] 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 [04:18] 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] niftylettuce, This a ubuntu-touch issue? [04:18] wilee-nilee: sort of, i am trying to get passed motorola's bootloader [04:19] 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] wilee-nilee: i can't make sense of how to replicate his results and backdoor it [04:19] niftylettuce, YOu would want #ubuntu-touch for it and the desktop installs [04:22] In addition BradTN, LVM allows you to easily add to, remove from, resize and restructure your arrays while they are still running. So you can further reduce downtime while still allowing expansion or repair without any command line work. [04:25] I'm running full encryption on 13.10 and the prompt for my encryption key is presented via CLI rather than the usual graphical mode. How do I fix this? [04:32] system76.com rejected my email ... no such address as sales@system76.com ... guess they lose my business [04:33] hello [04:33] !hi [04:33] hi ok u see me [04:34] whaaatup [04:34] how can I help?

Please use torrent instead. usually faster and lightens the load on the servers.

I seem to be failing on setting up saslauthd for authentication. It's unlcear to me how to setup the correct path to find saslauthd [05:36] ObrienDave: nah I 'm surrounded by nice support people of ubuntu but since I didn't get a refresh in the channel for about 5 mins I was getting scared that everybody run out of me [05:36] hello?

We can read lowercase too. [05:40] hmm i was looking at ps/2 to usb (to use ps2 mice i have lying around in PC's without PS/2 ports) .. saw a few for between $2 and 3 bucks ... but to be honest i think it'd be better just looking at a new logitech mouse [05:40] I keep getting this error when trying to use postfix with saslauthd. warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory [05:41] Hempathy, you say it worked in gnome in the last post then not, how did you install gnome, this the shell?

[05:54] Hempathy, logout. choose a different desktop. login. no unity OR [05:54] !nounit [05:54] !nounity [05:54] 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] OR use lubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu [05:55] what does "investigate" mean in that? [05:55] I'm having problems using Skype and Google Plus. People can barely hear me.

[06:13] Hey it's me again yay. So it seems like I have to force everything to use iBus by right clicking and going to "select input method". iBus seems to work just fine and xim(??) is the problem. How do I remove the Ubuntu default input manager and use iBus as the default? [06:14] my god this machine is peppy [06:14] joossee, install the desktop the ubuntu-restricted-extras for flash, codecs, and the ms fonts if you want them. [06:14] then* [06:15] f*ck libreoffice!

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:16] omfg bot i know that [06:16] i dont get the people who say how "complicate" of a change going from MS to Libre office is ... i mean (I only have MS office 2013 cause i got it at a yard sale) there are probably differences... but i mean a spreedsheet is a spreedsheet [06:16] its just subjective [06:16] oops [06:16] 2003 * [06:17] or "Office xp" i guess its called . [06:17] i am new to vms but have this honking server so i have newb questions [06:17] server doesn't come with gui by default [06:17] hi all, i have a very solid query, my sound is working fine in ubuntu but it is not good as windows, i mean in sweetness, clarity, i can directly distinguish between the two, windows music is great to listen but here it causes some irritation, tried the same in rhythmbox and vlc, no good effect seen, i also used equalizer but not as good as windows music, sweet and clear, how to improve that [06:17] best discussions run on and on and on and on, best stopped in their tracks [06:17] figured that... is openvm really open? [06:18] ok finished installing ubuntu desktop. just a reboot then? [06:18] joossee, probably easiest yeah. [06:19] kakakal: as an audio engineer, I have no idea what "sweetness" means from a technical standpoint. [06:19] xenserver is that free? [06:19] is jealous of joossee connection speed ;( [06:19] kakakal: Could you use more technical speech and less artsy description? [06:19] lol [06:19] As long as one compares OS's it is a waste of time. [06:19] 45$ A MONTH 25/10 [06:19] lindar: sweetness means, that people love to hear, [06:19] lives WAY out in the sticks. DSL :( [06:19] tplink wdn4800 wireless card [06:20] lindar: i am not an audio engineer, i can say less noise, better bass effect n all [06:20] i just happen to likely .. .a mintier OS [06:20] * xmetal ducks [06:20] 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] 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] 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] yes, i used equalizer, built in the vlc [06:20] grrrr installing ubuntu desktop didnt fix my blackscreen issue... i mentioned that i have to use nomodeset to get to CLI...? [06:20] veromix in the KDE environment [06:21] throws more trout at xmetal [06:21] and A plugin from third party source in rhythmbox [06:21] joossee: What kind of video card? [06:21] firemv 2250 [06:21] none of them served my purpose well [06:21] kakakal: Okay. Cool story, bro. You're not being very helpful. [06:21] joossee: ATI? [06:21] lindar, there is a link here explaing problem with newer xorgs sez to run 7.0 [06:21] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1091380 [06:21] Ubuntu bug 1091380 in xserver-xorg-driver-ati "Xorg fails to start on ATI FireMV 2400 quad monitor video card" [High,Confirmed] [06:21] AMD nee ATI, my friend :) [06:22] so im wondering if i can revert to xorg 7.0 ? [06:22] on 12.04 [06:22] 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] lindar: i haven't created any story, this is true [06:22] lindar, thats what i need to do i think!! but no idea how to [06:22] the same hardware, same volume level, and the same song [06:23] but sound produced by windows is better [06:23] 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] so what type of technical information you need [06:24] * cfhowlett ... grabs a bowl of popcorn and some napkins, proceeds to watch [06:24] !details [06:24] 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] joossee: You'll have to go into recovery from grub, load up root console, and manually install fglrx-updates. [06:24] OH FUDGE COOKIES [06:24] IT KINDA WORKED ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!\\ [06:24] i have one screen on with gui!!! [06:24] !caps|joossee, [06:24] joossee,: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [06:24] 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] yayayayayay! [06:25] hmm [06:25] ok lemme see if i can get drivers installed the proper way [06:25] anyone uses google chrome? if yes, what is your ~/.xsession-errors file size? [06:25] kakakal, so why not just use windows? [06:25] 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... [06:26] 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] ok wow this gui is very different [06:26] much more fun th complain about a FREE OS than try to adjust it properly LMAO [06:26] *to [06:27] ObrienDave, are you speaking *sputter* LOGIC? [06:27] that would be WAY to easy ;)) [06:27] logic? .. what in the world is that? [06:28] so lindar i just go to additional hardware? [06:28] xmetal: It's a program hipsters use to make music on overpriced computers. [06:28] lindar, okay, that got a laugh. Good one. [06:28] I could say to kakakal that windows is DESIGNED to be IDIOT proof. but, that would not be very nice [06:28] oh ... is there a place where i can download this logic? [06:29] :P [06:29] ObrienDave: It's also not true. It's genius-proof. I can't figure out how to get it to do anything. [06:29] LOL [06:29] ::cool_guy:: [06:29] 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 [06:30] ObrienDave: idiot proof, AND linux is GEEK PROOF :D [06:30] but more than 85% people in the world are using windows, because they are idiots??? [06:30] geek proof? my friend you are not the neckbeard you think you are. [06:30] 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. [06:31] 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] 64% of all stats are made up ... 95% of people know that [06:31] ignores the troll [06:32] 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] it might be quieter? [06:32] ok so i got ubuntu desktop running now i just need to install right drivers... [06:32] kakakal, no one is going to jump through the computer to help you set your own sound preferences. [06:32] kakakal: Is the bitrate lower (does it sound like a fish-tank?)? Is the treble or bass different? Are the EQ levels different? [06:33] bbiab.. want to try something [06:33] do you normally plug into speakers in the front and is it using worse built in speakers? [06:33] cfhowlett: thanks [06:33] 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] kakakal, http://wiki.xiph.org/Videos/A_Digital_Media_Primer_For_Geeks [06:33] It's the ubuntu-gang lol [06:34] 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] 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. [06:35] joossee: Did you get fglrx-updates installed? [06:35] joossee, Have you identified said card, look at lspci to do so. [06:35] lindar, hrmm dont think so..? [06:35] apt-get install fglrx-updates ? [06:35] how do i get command prompt? atl-f2? [06:35] has anyoe gotten fglrx to work with with the new AMD APU? [06:36] joossee: That or ctrl+alt+t [06:36] joossee: "sudo apt-get install --yes fglrx-updates" [06:37] kermyt: Haven't tried. Too poor. If you buy me one I'll try it out and let you know. [06:37] 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] lindar, ok comes up in lspci it seems right [06:37] I have an AMD A4-3300 APU and fglrx runs but with an "unsupported hardware" logo in the right corner. [06:38] the radeon drivers jsut hard lock the machine [06:38] 3,3 kbps wow! [06:38] kermyt: I get that same thing with fglrx, but fglrx-updates works great. [06:38] gigabit cables definately worth the extra ten bucks [06:38] hmm ok thanks lindar [06:39] kakakal: http://www.ubuntu.com/support [06:39] kakakal: "buy professional support services" [06:40] hrmmm lindar... the install seems stopped at 94% .. i hit enter it just repeats "94% [5 fglrx-updates 87.6 ... 100%] [06:40] 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] kakakal, yeah but i can copy all your files with a usb stick.\ [06:41] oh here we go install has resumed [06:41] depmod..... [06:41] 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] joossee: even with an encrypted hard drive? [06:41] 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] and now, moving on to ubuntu support ... [06:42] 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] lindar: i am not complaining anything to you and why the hell you are getting angry [06:42] but he wants it fixed NOW [06:42] ok fglrx update installed reboot? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [06:42] lindar: calm down and enjoy your work [06:43] and using an encrypted file system is only going to make FS access times far worse.

[07:03] just a bit ;)) [07:03] haha ObrienDave like you aint to Xu [07:04] Hempathy, you've got xubuntu. Upgrading to US would be a trivial matter. I'd recommend the LTS version which means ...

[07:38] i removed unity and am now using openbox so i cant do that [07:38] but im bad at lunux commands [07:38] 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] i tryed aplay and nothing happens [07:39] like i said the sound worked fine before i removed unity and installed openbox [07:39] i also removed lightdm if it matters [07:39] qwerty__: did you try aplay /path/to/file [07:40] hitsujiTMO, yeah i tryed that before [07:40] qwerty__: why did you remove unity, as you can login to openbox? [07:40] lotuspsychje, because i like using startx [07:40] lotuspsychje, with openbox [07:41] qwerty__: have a look at alsamixer to see of its muted. hit m on a channel to mute/unmute. [07:41] cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [07:41] qwerty__: maybe it removed needed files uninstalling unity [07:41] qwerty__: install alsa-utils [07:42] alsa-utils is already the newest version. [07:42] 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] qwerty__: then try again: alsamixer [07:42] Yowl: when did this problem occur? [07:43] hitsujiTMO, same thing no such file or directory [07:43] 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.

[07:45] How is there no one here?

[07:46] 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 [07:47] Yowl, malware is not pointed at linux, not really the correct term [07:47] hitsujiTMO, ok ill start over then hahaha ill be back thanks [07:48] 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? [07:49] lotuspsychje, Hmm not sure I would drag it off when closed and make another launcher, have not really had that happen. [07:49] Yowl: you have system freezes when not browsing chrome? [07:49] 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? [07:50] hmm [07:50] 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] 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] 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 [07:51] Yowl, highly unlikely never seen one myself or here in 7 years of using open source. [07:51] Yowl: you might wanna dig in /var/log/syslog.1 to see if there are relevant errors maybe [07:51] i can't understand why installtion of ubuntu on kvm take too long [07:51] i have centos as host and want install ubuntu as guest access 3GB Ram and 4 core cpu [07:52] i using libvirt and virtu manager [07:52] i take too long to show each step [07:52] Strangley my sound didnt work out of the box and I am having weird hibernation issues [07:53] 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] I have installed Ubuntu on this machine so many times and never had issues this is weird [07:53] lotuspsychje: Considering it just happened, and considering there is no entries for today, it seems there are no answers in syslog.1 [07:53] and use less than 10% of hardware assigned [07:53] It is 13.04 btw [07:54] Anyone? [07:54] Yowl: your system freeze must have a cause, so somewhere it should have an error [07:54] molavy1, you sum it, ubuntu is not the best vm OS I have found anyway. [07:54] for example it show me 5 minute a purple screen and then show select keyboard layout [07:54] Sureley there is some setup script or something that will attempt to find my sound card? [07:55] which one is best to run web service on vm [07:55] ? [07:56] Ok btw it is sudo als force-reload [07:56] 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] 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 [07:57] 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 [07:58] I definitely haven't managed to get up system monitor during these browser freezeups though [07:58] How do I add a partition to the /home directory? [07:58] it's ok if I use "." in the a username in Ubuntu Server? [07:59] Nothing_Much you don't add partitions to a directory. what do you mean [08:00] 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] any idea ? best approach to make server visualize with two vm , one for web server and another for local network usage [08:00] ObrienDave, What I mean is I can cd into the partition without going to /media/ [08:00] Nothing_Much: I went through it with help here before, but I don't remember the particular commands for it. [08:01] Nothing_Much: partitions are mounted whereever you want, whether it be /home or anywhere else [08:01] So how do I mount that partition on /home? [08:01] Nothing_Much: see if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoveMountpointHowto [08:02] software updater wants to install something for chromium?? I don't even have chromium install to my knowledge [08:02] how do I remove it? [08:03] molavy1: you have 1 server or 2 VMs? [08:03] Nothing_Much: After that, if you can't add files to the partition, its because you haven't set ownership yet [08:03] I am able to put files in the partition [08:03] I just need to figure out how to mount them [08:04] to /home [08:04] Nothing_Much: using fstab, have you checked the webpage I've linked? [08:04] 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] I tried fstab [08:04] Is this the right channel for support for this ? i really would need step by step help [08:04] Ah [08:05] 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] how do I remove "chromium security updates" from my software updates? [08:05] I put it in the /home directory [08:05] jnhghy: i have one server hp proliant dl380 g5 [08:05] I don't have chromium installed so I don't want it's security updates [08:05] installed centos [08:06] 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] But when I put it where my name is (where I wanna put it), it overwrites my documents, music, videos, etc folders [08:07] 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] 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] Ah thanks [08:07] yeyeman, You ever install lubuntu, it used to have chromium? [08:08] 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] jnhghy: any idea? [08:09] 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] 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 ? [08:10] again , i have raw server and want setup visualization on it, i install centos 6.4 as host [08:10] Grimm_, For what? [08:11] then i setup libvirt on it and make vm machine [08:11] dual boot install of windows 7 and ubuntu 13 . windows on the SSD , and ubuntu on the HDD ? [08:11] I need a user friendly solution how can the users change their SSH password on my server [08:11] i want setup ubuntu as web server [08:11] Grimm_, You mention efi earlier how is that related? [08:12] jony_easyrider: do they login via CLI or GUI? [08:12] ANYONE: want to install linux on an acer aspire V5-122p-0643. secure boot/uefi or something is blocking it. ideas? [08:12] molavy1: now I undertand... sorry don't know... [08:12] 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] jony_easyrider: if it is CLI why not have them type passwd? [08:12] !uefi | roscogruen [08:12] 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] 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] !details | molavy1 where are you stuck? [08:12] 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] but it take to long and i am in installation about 15 minute for each step showing [08:13] i want install ubuntu version 13.10 , what command output you want know [08:14] molavy1: are you installing ubuntu server edition or desktop edition? [08:14] wilee-nilee: what does that mean? !uefi ? [08:14] roscogruen: the !somethingHere are commands meant for the bot to respond to [08:14] roscogruen, Read what the bot says right after, about uefi, it is a bot prompt [08:14] !bot | roscogruen [08:14] 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 [08:15] oh, okay. thank you. i've been wondering [08:15] lol [08:15] roscogruen: no worries new to IRC I take it :) [08:15] quite [08:15] old user but not frequent [08:15] Grimm_, uefi is a bit of a mystery to most of us here, just a heads up really. [08:16] wilee-nilee: truth [08:16] 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] yeah it seems to be :( and all these UEFI guides i find give different info as all systems seem to be slightly different [08:17] evening all [08:17] Grimm_, When it's an OEM they can be for sure. [08:17] do many people bypass this block easily when moving from Win8 to linux? [08:18] 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] 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] roscogruen: running ubuntu on a UEFI system? [08:18] roscogruen: uefi depends a lot on the motherboard manufacturer. For some it's simple, for others it difficult === karlo|afk is now known as karloone [08:19] hii anybody connect succesufly wireless network with İntel Centrino-N 6300 card? [08:19] Nmbr1, do you recommend to give them a solution with using https://ssh.serverdo.in/ ? [08:19] 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] Nmbr1, it's safe to use that site? [08:19] Grimm_, bootrepair is run in the desktop [08:20] iwlwifi driver is very unstable for dhcp or internet speed what can i do ? [08:20] ok , should i execute it from the command then ? [08:20] console i mean [08:20] roscogruen: what version of ubuntu are you trying to install? [08:20] 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] gosh. how could i determine beforehand if i should be making the switch? (will i end up with tons of problems) [08:20] Grimm_, Is there a bootrepair option in grub now after running it? Is ubuntu installed? [08:21] 14 i think [08:21] roscogruen: backup and don't worry [08:21] 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] roscogruen: the version number is on the iso (aything 14.xx) isnt released til next year [08:21] looks like Grimm_ is having similar issue [08:22] i got tons of issues ! :D [08:22] and softwares only one of em :) [08:22] Grimm_, Bootrepair would be used to fix grub in general and the boots after all installs. [08:22] bloody modern systems what the hell was wrong with old bios :P [08:22] 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. [08:23] Ls [08:23] 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] 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] hitsujiTMO: i've no idea. not important to me now [08:23] 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] Grimm_: don't unplug disks [08:23] 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] Grimm_: no need to unplug if it's all fresh [08:23] Grimm_: leave them both in at the same time, so that the driver order/list is the same all the way through [08:24] i got everything backed up on an external disk , and all external disks are disconnected now . Nothing too loose [08:24] 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] Grimm_: cool [08:24] Grimm_: are you having a hard time with uefi block? [08:25] hello, does anyone knows where I can find help abous schroot? [08:25] 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] is it Win8? [08:26] pouet: what type of help? [08:26] win7 [08:26] k [08:26] aint touching windows 8 with a 50 feet pole hahaha [08:26] pouet78: tried "man schroot" in terminal yet? [08:27] it looks like they've put roadblocks up so running linux on top of it is difficult. very difficult [08:27] I'd like t create a chroot which runs qemu automatically because it is armel on my amd64 [08:27] yeah it feels like that they make it as hard as possible . [08:28] well, at least we know the employees are actually working there now. [08:28] 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. [08:29] 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 [08:30] i'm thinking to pull out and not install ubuntu on this new laptop. it is the girlfriend's anyhow [08:30] I searched man and docs I don't understand how schroot knows to use qemu [08:31] any clue? [08:31] Grimm_: and also make sure win8 isn't on any new machine i buy [08:32] 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] does that sound sensible ? or am i lost already [08:33] Hi [08:33] I'm currently booted in a Live usb of ubuntu using UEFI [08:34] Grimm_: if you're using uefi boot you need an efi system partition too (50mb should be enough) [08:34] I'm not Grimm_ But I am using UEFI boot [08:34] and I already have a UEFI partition [08:35] Grimm_: ahh sorry, if you're installing win 7 then it will create it for you [08:35] ok , so i don't need to worry about EFI at all ? i still dont get the EFI thing fully im afraid [08:35] 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] 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? [08:36] custom build with a Asus Arock motherboard with UEFI on there when i got it [08:36] 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] Grimm_, I think you can set the bios as legacy and make msdos partition tables and just install like normal. [08:36] Kinda the same here. [08:36] 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 [08:37] Yeah you probably already have an EFI partition then [08:37] Hello IRC world [08:37] Same here. [08:37] Hi Gnik [08:37] Grimm_, Ah, so the W7 was gpt uefi? [08:38] euhm not sure what to answer there [08:38] wilee-nilee, probably, it's the case with my laptop atleast [08:38] Grimm_, Are you in windows? [08:38] yup [08:38] Grimm_, Can you run the bootinfo summary on the bootrepair it would give us any info on gpt? [08:39] 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] Ok click on start, then rightclick on computer and then click manage [08:39] ok im in computer management [08:39] Ok then click on harddrive manager or anything that looks like that [08:39] i can try to run the bootinfo summary , if i figure out how to get the bootrepair to work in that ubuntu desktop [08:40] disk management? im there [08:40] My windows is in dutch so it might not be completely accurate with other languages [08:40] i speak dutch , mine is english but i can follow i guess [08:40] !bootrepair | Grimm_ info on installing it here [08:40] Grimm_, seems like Serus knows how to conform a gpt from windows. [08:40] !boot-repair | Grimm_ info on installing it here [08:40] confirm [08:40] Ok do you have like a 100~200MB partition 1? [08:40] 100mb system reserved [08:40] on disk 0 [08:41] does it have a label? [08:41] how can i see official documentation webpage in english? [08:41] Grimm_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair thats info on installing boot repair. [08:41] alright thanks for that link , ill read into it in a sec [08:41] Serus: that 100mb is the efi system partition [08:41] i've never used it. [08:41] as a general rule i like to keep anything account related in house [08:41] Daxro: you should have physical access [08:41] hitsujiTMO, yes I think so too, but it's probably labeled SYSTEM. [08:41] im not sure if it has a label , don't know where too look fore [08:42] if it's labeled SYSTEM then it's the EFI partition [08:42] well it says system reserved so I'm 90% sure you already have an EFI partition. [08:42] Serus: afaik, there's usually no labels on efi partitions even with windows. [08:42] it just says " system reserved 100mb NTFS , healthy " [08:42] Guest34904, try bringing it up then add /en to the end [08:43] Grimm_: of its NTFS then its not efi system partition === scott_w_ is now known as scott_w [08:43] Grimm_, NTFS? Hmm, I'm not completely sure if that's EFI. [08:43] Can I remove win7 off my laptop and make ubuntu my only OS? [08:43] gnik: yes [08:43] Gnik, yes, if you want to. [08:44] how? is there a tut? [08:44] It's really easy. [08:44] Grimm_: are you in the live cd now? [08:44] Do you have ubuntu installed or are you in a live environment? [08:44] 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] I see [08:44] I booted off a USB [08:45] 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] Grimm_: can you boot the live cd. there's a few tools there that can show us exactly what you have [08:45] Gnik, This computer ever have W8 a uefi setup? [08:45] Ok Gnik are you familiar with linux? [08:45] Grimm_: theres an irc client on the live cd (or at least you can install one) [08:45] I used kali linux but not alot [08:45] so im a noob [08:45] XD [08:46] hitsujiTMO, I installed hexchat on live usb [08:46] Xchat* [08:46] 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] Ahh, so it needs to be installed, but at least you can install it [08:46] Gnik, that's OK, how is your understanding on computers? [08:47] 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] Grimm_: its easier to if windows is installed first. [08:47] Grimm_, Yes, ALWAYS install windows first. Windows "breaks" the old bootloader. [08:47] allright i start with that first. Nothing special i have to consider when installing windows ? [08:47] Nope, just keep spamming Next [08:47] ok [08:47] well [08:48] you might consider not taking up the complete harddrive [08:48] Grimm_, If you are building partitions it is a manual install. [08:48] since resizing partitions can take a very long time. [08:48] kubanc: I'm not sure extplorer is even being developed any more. might be an idea to try an alternative [08:49] I generally use the entire SSD for windows as i use windows often for gaming and some more heavy 3D modelling software [08:49] When I remove win7 will it also delete all the files/games/programs and viruses ? [08:49] hitsujiTMO, What device should I select for bootloader installation? The EFI partition, or just /dev/sda? [08:49] Gnik, everything will be gone. [08:49] thats good [08:49] Serus: if you see that then you're not in UEFI mode install [08:50] 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] 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] Gnik, are you completely sure you want that? [08:50] hitsujiTMO: well it broke my http server [08:50] hitsujiTMO: i think permissions to my folders changed [08:50] yes, im 100% sure [08:50] hitsujiTMO, this command "dmesg | grep "EFI v"" gives me the EFI version I'm running. [08:51] Gnik, Ok, you where in a live USB right? [08:51] Serus: whats the output of: efibootmgr [08:51] let me check [08:51] currently not installed :p [08:52] Serus: you may need to do: sudo efibootmgr [08:52] Serus: install it onto the live cd [08:52] 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] 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] pouet78: Why would I need physical access to a server ? [08:53] Gnik, I see, and you are in ubuntu? [08:53] hitsujiTMO, installation failed O.o [08:53] gnik: if you want ubuntu solely, i would suggest just backing everything up and doing aclean install [08:53] should I do a apt-get update first? [08:53] yes im in ubuntu now [08:53] Serus: yup [08:54] 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] clean install? [08:54] gnik: as in wipe your current install of windows and ubuntu and install a fresh copy of ubuntu [08:54] hitsujiTMO, It's in use by the installer >.< [08:55] serus :P [08:55] and how do i do that? [08:56] gnik: tell the install disk. it will give you that option when installing [08:56] requesting permission to paste 8 lines of output [08:56] Serus: paste.ubuntu.com [08:56] Can i do it via a USB? [08:56] !usb | gnik yes you can! [08:56] 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] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6363579/ [08:57] thanks everyone for the help [08:57] 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] Serus: cool, so you're probably in uefi install so. did it actually ask you where to install grub to? [08:57] what should I do? [08:58] hitsujiTMO, uh, what install type? I selected manual [08:59] I want to make sure nothing gets overwritten :) [08:59] I mean I selected "Something else" [08:59] serus: when you asked me where to install the bootloader to... did the installer ask you that? [09:00] yes, it asks that at the partition scheme [09:00] 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 === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell [09:01] 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? [09:01] hitsujiTMO, sending you a screenshot in a sec [09:01] 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.

[09:05] 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 [09:06] serus: :) yeah that looks to be a bug in the installer. i would leave it as it is [09:06] hitsujiTMO, Anyway you should be able to see it after a while. [09:06] hitsujiTMO, I can also select /dev/sda1 [09:06] why does ubuntu suck so much? [09:06] rich, I think this is not the right channel to talk about why ubuntu is bad. [09:07] ney jsut kidding im using ubuntu now for years... [09:07] oh lol [09:07] but im not very happy....with it. the problem is im not very happy with any distro === Daniel is now known as Guest26601 === ernesto is now known as Guest58949 [09:08] * Serus was going to use linux mint until UEFI destroyed his linux dreams.

[09:09] Daxro, To understand why ping is ok and othe services are not [09:09] 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] never loose hope young padawan , many have succceeded before you ! [09:10] 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] 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] maar ik begrijp je wel , erg demotiverend als het zo moeilijk gaat toch [09:10] svector: you put the user in the right group or open the permissions on /opt [09:10] Anyway, hitsujiTMO, /dev/sda or /dev/sda1? [09:10] Serus, We see people dual boot on a uefi everyday here. its just a bit of work for some. [09:10] serus /dev/sda [09:10] Grimm3, Yeah, but let's stick to English :) [09:11] hitsujiTMO, Got it. [09:11] oki [09:11] wilee-nilee, a "bit" :p [09:11] ikonia, chmod or chown? [09:11] svector: depends which you do [09:12] pouet78: But how would physical access help, when I have ssh access now ? [09:12] svector: could be one, both, neither, depending on your approach [09:12] 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] 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] Serus: do you ever want to hibernate? [09:12] ikonia, I just want to be able to move files to any directory that I want [09:12] Daxro, Oh thought ssh were KO [09:13] serus: if you want hibernation then same as ram, if not 4gb should be enough [09:13] !tab | Grimm3 [09:13] Grimm3: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [09:13] Grimm3, their name followed by comma or : [09:13] Daxro, you only have nginx KO? [09:13] Grimm3, nickname [09:13] Ben64, That's closing my laptop and it will go in a low power state right? [09:13] pouet78: It was during the non responsiveness for about 2 hours [09:13] svector, lets try that [09:13] Grimm3, :) [09:13] svector: the ability to move files wherever you want anytime is not very secure at all [09:13] I'm having a problem with polkit-kde-1, its agent doesn't register itself properly: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6363652/ [09:13] that worked ? Sweet , learned something new again [09:13] 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 [09:14] pouet78: Everything was not responding apart from pings, got a data center dude to reboot it [09:14] Serus: depends on your settings, hibernate is shutdown + save ram to HD to resume where you were at [09:14] But not sure what caused it [09:14] Ben64, so what is a good approach to move around files in nautilus? [09:14] If you mention somesone name Grimm3, in a message, no matter where you put it, most irc clients will ping that user [09:14] Daxro, ok so check in logs i you see anything special before reboot [09:14] 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] svector: why would you want to move files randomly around? what are you trying to accomplish? [09:14] Every service we use was fine as far as the logs go [09:15] ok cool , really handy to know [09:15] ikonia, that's right but that means I have to use the terminal all the time [09:15] svector: no it doesn't [09:15] Apart from about 2 hour gap in ever log kinda like the drive was read only for a while [09:15] Daxro, what about system (/var/log/syslog) [09:15] serus: closing lid defaults to suspend. you can change that to hibernation if you can get hibernation working [09:16] Ok, then can somebody tell me the differences between them? [09:16] Ben64, i wanted to move some files to /opt and couldn't do it in nautilus ... [09:16] serus, windows has a seperate hibernation file to the swap [09:16] svector: you were already given the answer to that specific thing [09:17] Ben64, can you tell me how to accomplish that? [09:17] hitsujiTMO, I see,I guess I'll google the differences for now. [09:18] svector: you put the user in the right group or open the permissions on /opt [09:18] 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] svector: if you know password, try alt+f2 'gksu nautilus' [09:19] Ben64, on properties it says "You are not an owner so cannot change settings" [09:19] svector: right. the easiest way to change owner is from the command line [09:20] 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] one last IRC noob question , can i turn these join quit messages off with a command ? [09:20] hitsujiTMO, I guess to enable hibernation the only thing I can do is 12GB swap right? [09:21] pouet78: There is 1 hour gap in /var/log/syslog [09:21] 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] 12288 is 12GB? or 12000? [09:22] seeing a megabyte is a million bytes here. [09:22] Grimm3: Which IRC client are you using [09:22] serus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate 12288MB [09:22] Yes, nickname worked this time :P [09:22] androIRC on my android tablet [09:23] its different for every client ? then i know to google on this client specificly [09:23] pouet78: Anyway cheers for the help, My manager is being an arse today so I cannot be bothered to help him anymore. [09:23] hitsujiTMO, thanks a lot [09:23] Ben64, I now get it. Thanks [09:23] 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] Grimm3: Grimm3 Yeah, every client is different [09:23] serus: in that partition tool 1 MB = 1048576 B ... but 1G = 1000 MB ... its a really confused partitioner [09:24] Oh, and the file they execute has to be able to interact with everything in /home/network and /home/network/directory [09:24] hitsujiTMO, yeah lol [09:25] Grimm3: Looks like there should be an option in the settings menu, buts that about all I can suggest [09:25] serus: i normally setup may partitions with cfdisk, or cgdisk instead. much more sane [09:26] Can you help me find the right keyboard layout? [09:26] Serus: what country are you in? [09:26] cant find it , so be it [09:26] serus: ahh nl [09:27] serus: is there a euro symbol on 4? [09:27] 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? Also the file they are executing in /home/network needs to be able to read and write to /home/network and /home/network/directory [09:27] Normally on windows 7 it's Dutch - English international. But that's not here. And now I'm doing annoying stuff like this: "Iḿ itś" [09:28] hitsujiTMO, http://content.hwigroup.net/images/products/xl/158162.jpg [09:28] serus: leave it as plain old dutch. you can change it after. [09:28] What part of bash/ubuntu generates the "program X is not installed type apt-get.." ? [09:28] quit [09:28] serus: that looks like a US layout [09:29] And why is it going off when a program is actually installed [09:29] buu: what program [09:29] hitsujiTMO, Yeah, but I need it a little bit different, I normally can type these: ḿ ś [09:29] buu: is which finding it? [09:30] buu, command-not-found package [09:30] Oh, my fault! [09:30] I had a bad alias, fixed! [09:30] But for the sake of curiosity, what does trigger that message/ [09:30] And how does it know?! [09:30] Hi, all [09:30] buu: a package name is not necessarily a binary name and it may not be in the path [09:30] 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 ? [09:31] Serus: Engels (US, internationaal met dode toetsen) [09:31] 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] Serus: set it to dutch for now. you can easily change it later [09:31] command_not_found_handle [09:31] wim66, I'm in english ubuntu ^^, but that isn't completely the right one. [09:32] 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] Once in a while, the DHCP client jumps in and changes the IP address back .... [09:32] 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] after waiting for maybe 3min, it switches back, to what I configured as static-IP ... [09:33] Serus: ask about the layout in #ubuntu-nl [09:33] I just see, that sendmail is active at that time ... [09:33] Anyone had this problem before? [09:33] simonsimcity: how are you setting the ip? [09:34] hitsujiTMO, OK :) [09:35] hitsujiTMO: I updated the /etc/network/interfaces file and restarted network-interface. [09:35] Would you like to see a copy of that? [09:35] simonsimcity: what ubuntu is this? server or desktop? [09:35] hitsujiTMO: Ubuntu Server [09:35] is there any fix or workaround for the apple io7 trust issue available yet? [09:35] Has anyone had errors with Perl doing a dist-upgrade on 12.04 recently? [09:36] simonsimcity: can you pastebin the interfaces config so please [09:36] im in the windows 7 install menu , just to be sure , i take the x64 architecture , not the x86 ? [09:37] Grimm3: windows 7 install menu? [09:37] yeah fresh install of windows before i will install ubuntu , like i was saying earlier [09:37] just dont want to mess up here alreay [09:37] well you should ask ##windows about windows stuff [09:37] Grimm3, most of the time it depends on the RAM you have [09:38] 8 gig ddr3 ? [09:38] hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/AxnbS0kb [09:40] 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] Grimm3, x64 [09:40] ok thx [09:41] simonsimcity: that eth0:1 looks wrong. why is it a different network? you using bridged networking or nat? [09:42] 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] 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] 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 ? [09:43] ->network-setup I mean :) [09:43] simonsimcity: have you installed network-manager or anything else similar? [09:43] 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] thanks [09:44] hitsujiTMO: If it was installed by default, yes :) Haven't installed anything like that by knowing ... [09:44] hitsujiTMO, It's installed, what should I do now? === asdasd is now known as rikitiki [09:45] simonsimcity: can you comment out the eth0 and eth0:1 completely and see if it gets an ip after rebooting [09:45] answering my own question: "reboot" [09:45] Awesome it got added to the EFI boot menu [09:45] Other distros can learn from this. (Looking at you linux mint) [09:46] 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] Serus: if you want you can customise the efi boot menu entry (change it from ubuntu) [09:46] second HDD is just unallocated space for the moment [09:47] Grimm3: just 2 partitions? [09:47] hitsujiTMO: nope - just the loopback-network that's loaded now ... [09:48] guys, how do I change the default apps in ubuntu? [09:48] they keep reverting back whenever I restart my computer [09:49] 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] or should i make those partitions for ubuntu now already ? [09:49] simonsimcity: hmm, odd issue so, does the issue happen with just the eth0:1 commonented out? [09:49] 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 [09:50] simonsimcity: or does it happen if you set the name of the virtual interface to eth0:0 instead of eth0:1 [09:50] I'm trying to track a bug that's preventing my clock applet from displaying [09:50] Grimm3, which OS will you be using more? [09:50] Depending on that make the windows partition smaller or bigger. [09:51] 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] 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] Grimm3: blender is good for 3d modelling etc [09:51] so i thought to allocate the entire SSD for windows , as the more demanding and large software would run from windows [09:52] Grimm3, Then I would make windows bigger. [09:52] Oh you have 2 harddrives [09:52] 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] yup , its the entire SSD now for windows [09:52] 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 ? [09:53] Grimm3, Yes. [09:54] cool , installing windows started , and now for a smoke [09:54] Grimm3, Just do as you said, windows on SSD and ubuntu on the other hdd [09:54] 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] I'm rebooting. [09:54] brb [09:54] allright , damm you guys are smart [09:55] 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 [09:57] grimm3: you learn from doing it again and again :P making mistakes is the best way to learn [09:58] thats true ! [09:59] noooooooooooo [09:59] why not ubuntu and windows on the ssd with user data, /var and swap on the platter based drive? [09:59] windows cannot install required files , the file may be corrupt or missing [09:59] ant windows swap and %temp% on the platter too [09:59] so my usb disk didnt write properly [10:00] damm you windows , damm you unetbootin [10:00] Grimm3: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [10:00] hitsujiTMO, IT WORKED!!!!! [10:00] nope :( lets do that now [10:00] WOOT [10:00] Omg your in serus ? you actually have them both running ? [10:01] Grimm3, Not sure if win7 is broken now :p [10:01] But I think so [10:01] so there is ligth at the end of the tunnel ! hopefully.. [10:01] There is [10:01] !yay | serus [10:01] serus: Glad you made it! :-) [10:02] Holy.. I wanted to type I've and this is what I got. ǘ [10:02] wtf is that O.o [10:02] sanskrit ? [10:03] serus: did you choose US - international? [10:03] Gnash or adobe? (I care about what works best) [10:03] hitsujiTMO, Yes. [10:03] Serus the tick key is acting as a modifier key [10:04] I know [10:04] But it works a bit different in windows as you can mix languages there. [10:04] o great , bootmrg is missing [10:04] I can also mix languages on the raspberry pi [10:04] \j #showoff-db [10:05] serus: adobe don't support linux anymore. if you install chrome you get the flash pepper plugin which is the best one available [10:05] hitsujiTMO: Adding it as eth0:0 didn't help ... will now try to disable it ... [10:05] HELP [10:05] hitsujiTMO, Iḿ using FF [10:05] intel 6205 wifi is giving me PROBLEMS [10:06] its using the iwlwifi driver and "11n_disable=1" does not work [10:06] is there some firmware? [10:06] serus: i've no experience with gnash. but the adobe installer will install a slightly older flash player === Emmanuel_Chanel_ is now known as Emmanuel_Chanel [10:07] I'll try gnash [10:08] so ubuntu 13.10 is QT now, which means gtk3x themes wont work very well on it to change my theme, so where do i get ubuntu 13.10 themes? [10:08] vasislav: what version of ubuntu are you on? [10:08] 13.10 [10:08] Ubuntu Studio XFCE [10:08] is there skype for ubuntu [10:08] so dumb [10:09] vasislav: is it working at all? [10:09] yes but hangs all the time [10:09] have to keep reloading pages === superuser is now known as olf-folks [10:09] linuxuz3r, http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/ [10:09] linuxuz3r: yes, you can get it from skype webiste [10:09] Serus: i recommend that you do not try gnash [10:09] switched hard drive to something with ath9k driver (atheros card) and its perfect [10:09] lecoeus, why not? [10:09] meaning a machine with atheros instead of intel 6205 [10:09] switched card to intel 6300, problem persisted [10:09] it's a free replacement for flash from the fsf but it is not perfect [10:10] and when i say not perfect, i mean it is barely usable sometimes and not usable other times [10:10] ok long story short i installed ubuntu server followed by xinit and openbox my sound is not working [10:11] 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] i installed alsa-utils when i go to run alsamixer it says cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [10:11] hitsujiTMO, don't all intel cards have 11n problems? [10:11] its gotten worse ever since kernel 3.5 [10:12] problem started in 3.8 kernel [10:12] vasislav: anyone i've seen has had to disable n [10:12] hitsujiTMO, i installed the server edition like you said with the same results btw [10:12] and in 3.11 is bad [10:12] so ubuntu 13.10 is QT now, which means gtk3x themes wont work very well on it to change my theme, so where do i get ubuntu 13.10 themes? [10:12] how do i install deb pkgs? [10:12] disabling N only cut the problem in half [10:12] ping become 250 instead of 560 [10:12] linuxuz3r, dpkg -i package.deb [10:13] olf-folks: so you installed: alsa and alsa-utils right? === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek [10:13] olf-folks: then you need to add yourself to the sound group and relog [10:13] hitsujiTMO, i installed alsa-utils is alsa a septate package? [10:14] olf-folks: yes you need to install alsa and alsa-utils [10:14] hey , im again trying to install windows , but this time it made 2 extra partitions , one system , one MSR , and then the primary windows partition Is that this EFI partition talked about earlier ? [10:14] Hi everybody, I cann't get my Atheros Wireless Network Adapter to work. Searched the net for several days. Could not find solution. See http://paste.ubuntu.com/6363869/ [10:14] ( installing windows first before installing ubuntu , before i get shot here...) [10:14] hitsujiTMO, ok it says alsa is already newest ver [10:15] olf-folks: once that is done add your user to sound group: sudo usermod -aG audio username make sure you do "-aG" [10:15] HP in all its BRILLIANCE puts a wifi card LIST in the bios, so only approved cards will boot, otherwise it says to shutdown and remove the "unapproved" wifi card [10:15] for elitebooks [10:15] like some PROFITEERING GLUTTONS! [10:16] hitsujiTMO, ok i added myself to the group [10:16] olf-folks: then try alsamixer again [10:16] hitsujiTMO, cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [10:17] olf-folks: can you pastebin the exact output of: alsamixer [10:17] vasislav: pays to shop smart then :) [10:18] i do! [10:18] hitsujiTMO, it works as root maybe i need to relogin after adding my self to sound? [10:18] but... but... i like those navpoint thing [10:18] hitsujiTMO, when im trying to install windows now , it created 3 partitions on the SSD , one 100mb system reserved , one 128mb MSR (reserved) , and then the primary partition. Is the MSR partition that EFI thing ? Is it ok like this ? [10:18] only HP and Lenovo seem to make the pointer in the keyboard thing [10:18] olf-folks: yes you need to relog for groups to take place [10:18] kkbrb [10:18] grimm3: cool that first one should be the efi system partition [10:19] so just let be and install windows ? [10:19] I"LL BE BACK, just wait for me here... [10:19] grimm3: msr is probably BCD. yes install windows away [10:20] ok sweet , found the liveCD and a usb dvd drive , the live USB didnt create 3th partition === superuser is now known as olf-folks [10:20] ok now alsamixer is working [10:21] Grimm3, Ofcourse it didn't [10:21] QUIT [10:21] sounds like logic in your world , :D I have no idea whats going on hahahaha [10:22] Need help. I'm not able to install my Atheros (AR5212/AR5213) wifi card. Can anybody help? [10:22] olf-folks: make sure master is not muted. m key will mute unmute it [10:23] hitsujiTMO: Do you know what those entries in the dmesg could mean? http://pastebin.com/KYKLz4Xf Think it has something to do with the problem, even so it didn't occur again until now. [10:25] ok i got to go to the doctor now , ill let windows install meantime , when im back ill start the ubuntu process ,thank you for all advice already ! [10:26] paperke67: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [10:26] simonsimcity: i'm not up on apparmor but i believe you must tell it to configure it with a profile before it will act upon anything. if you haven't configured one then it should not be causing you an issue. [10:27] simonsimcity: i could be wrong on that if there are default configurations set tho [10:27] is it possible to open up a file in nano without the comment lines? [10:27] does skype work on 13.10? === z_ is now known as Guest18693 [10:29] How is there no triplebuffer support for Linux? [10:29] Now when Steam for linux is released that should really come in handy [10:31] simonsimcity: hmm, just looked at my apparmor config files and there does seem to be some sort of default config there for dhclient [10:31] ActionParsnip : Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l [10:31] thomson112: should do, yes [10:32] 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? Also the file they are executing in /home/network needs to be able to read and write to /home/network and /home/network/directory [10:32] paperke67: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? [10:32] ActionParsnip: yes I do. [10:33] ljunggren: steam for linux was released a long time ago, and there is triple buffering available on linux. usually you have to enable it seperately [10:33] DanielFew: Uh, symlinks? [10:33] ljunggren: nvidia of ati? [10:34] hitsujiTMO, ati, can't find the settings anywhere and ive google it also =/ you know something? [10:34] hitsujiTMO, lack of it makes all my games totaly unplayable thou [10:35] hitsujiTMO, sound seems to not be working still [10:36] ActionParsnip: this is output of scan http://paste.ubuntu.com/6363961/ [10:38] hitsujiTMO, but when i unmute "PCM" and aplay a mp3 it makes a static noise from my speakers haha [10:39] ljunggren: forced tripple buffering seems to be removed from CCC. most games should have an option to enable triple buffering but you usually must have vsync enabled first [10:40] olf-folks: can you take a screenshot of the alsamixer. and can you give me a pastebin of: aplay -l [10:42] <_dot> hello, does anyone else have problem locking user in his home directory with vsftpd ?

I tried the following commands : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6364324/ [12:19] hitsujiTMO the issue is that the application i use for making music can not access hidden folders.... (./wine) so i can not specify the location of my instrument kits [12:19] Danato: can you pastebin the full contents of the parts.txt [12:20] debnoob: tried mounting using 'mount' instead...? [12:20] I have to give the port of my monitor for a vnc connection, since I have two monitors, after installing vnc, I get this: VNC Display :0 corresponds to TCP port 5900, VNC Display :1 corresponds to TCP port 5901. How can I know what is my display 0 and my display 1? [12:20] debnoob: sudo chown "$USER:" /media/dev # after it is mounted [12:20] chemist: can you not symlink to the folder? does it follow symlinks?

Afterwards, it will be owned by your user. [12:24] geirha: but wouldn't that need root [12:24] geirha: doesn't udisk remove the mount point once its unmounted [12:25] suigeneris: so any progress?

[12:27] hi all [12:27] * cheesecakes afk [12:27] debnoob: regardless of which user initiates the mounting [12:27] Maybe someone could look at my log file, it may explain why it's failing the install?

Looks like a feature of ext [12:30] suigeneris: tried something like XFCE as a desktop? You can install it by installing xfce4 package [12:30] debnoob: This is common for unix-y filesystems. It's FAT and NTFS and similar that are exceptions [12:30] Emay: Waiting [12:31] Emay: You have to actually tell me what the URL is, I'm not a magician :) [12:31] geirha: been a win guy for so long :) [12:31] 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] ActionParsnip: no, not yet. I'm now trying to recover by doing what you are telling me. let me try that [12:31] Rory: Sorry, new to IRC & Linux http://paste.ubuntu.com/6364380/ [12:31] brb [12:32] Emay: Can you fill me in on some background to your problem, that looks like Windows stuff to me [12:32] Hello, i am not able to start my desktop anymore after trying to install fglrx and removing it again... [12:33] geirha: my thought was the permission of mountpoint is only stored on the root filesystem. but now i know. [12:33] its directly login me in qt commqndline [12:33] 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). [12:34] Emay: Do you mean using Wubi? [12:34] Rory: via the widows install, yes [12:34] Hello, i am not able to start my desktop anymore after trying to install fglrx and removing it again... [12:34] Hello, I need good HTTP proxy server for production use, maybe with even filtering and so on [12:35] it is directly login me in to the commmandline and am a bit lost how to restore things again [12:35] 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] !md5 | Emay can you verify your installation .iso before burning it?

One of the options will be to verify the integrity of the install medium [13:04] where is that file? [13:04] Emay: that has issues for most people. Try using linux live usb or unetbootin.

Pls advice [13:41] i am using saucy [13:41] adamk:was trying to use fglrx [13:41] hounndo_2: the radeon driver doesn't support your gpu. you were probably running fglrx in the first place [13:42] wedgetail, so in the LIVE session, you get a password request [13:42] just loading cf [13:42] hitsujiTMO:could be. [13:42] hounndo_2: what version of ubuntu is this? [13:42] wedgetail, you mean on booting the USB? [13:42] yes [13:43] wedgetail, so you have NOT installed studio to your HDD, right?

It's a typical xorg.conf file generated by aticonfig, but with radeo ninstead of fglrx. [13:46] wedgetail, wait, do you have persistence on the USB? were you running update or something? [13:46] will do cf, thanks for your help and have a good day [13:46] i did not modify anything there [13:46] wedgetail, or if you shutdown improperly that would make it act funky [13:46] hounndo_2: Well someone/something did :-) [13:46] hounndo_2: Change that file so that it loads the fglrx driver instead of the radeon driver. [13:46] i do have persistance, but no updates yet === ubuntu is now known as User1985 [13:47] o7 [13:47] Hello folks [13:47] did a proper shut down. always do as i am fussy about that [13:47] 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] I desperately need some help to mount a NTFS partition :s [13:47] adamk just reinstalled fglrx also and rebooting [13:47] wedgetail, so maybe actually install US to the HDD? [13:47] and back to commandline [13:47] ... [13:48] hounndo_2: Just make sure that xorg.conf file says to use the fglrx driver and not the radeon driver. [13:48] wedgetail, or if you want to only test further, install virtualbox on windows, and put US in the virtual machine [13:48] adamk:did that [13:48] hounndo_2: check the xorg.conf again [13:48] hounndo_2: So pastebin your new /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. [13:48] hounndo_2: And xorg.conf file. [13:48] hounndo_2: it may be the case that you need a newer fglrx that whats in the repo [13:48] "The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state.

[13:51] format to kill any last windows artifacts [13:51] Yesterday, I did a clean install of windows on a dell XPS 14 and this morning, it refused to boot. [13:52] User1985, I'm betting UEFI issues. the fact that you have NTFS means you had windows and STILL have the windows partition. [13:52] !uefi [13:52] 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] 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.

[13:53] hounndo_2: Can you run 'dmesg | pastebinit' ? [13:54] cfhowlett : I don't think so cause it used to work flawlessly. Plus, I am using legacy, not UEFI [13:55] User1985, so, as the error message said, mount read only. copy to another usb. done.

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] well t only started failing after i started messing with it [13:59] cfhowlett: this is the error message (http://bayimg.com/IAcHOaaFA) and this is what I did (http://pastebin.com/Ns75i9L7) [13:59] There is my masters thesis on that drive :s [13:59] hounndo_2: So this worked out of the box initially? You were probably using the radeon driver. [14:00] 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. [14:01] 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] latest would be 13.x right? [14:01] 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] Please help me :s [14:01] shouldn't build-dep retrieve qt as well? [14:01] hounndo_2: Latest is 13.10, though it might work in 13.04. What version are you using? [14:01] maybe try a dist upgrade then? [14:01] the first time I tried (cmake ..) it said -- Found Qt4: /usr/bin/qmake (found suitable version "4.8.4", minimum required is "4.6.0") CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:403 (message): No Qt4 or Qt5 found!. when I tried with -DWANT_QT4=1, it said The use of Qt4 has been forced, but no Qt4 found on the system (WANT_QT4=ON) [14:02] adamk 12.04.3 [14:02] can you help me guys? [14:02] 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 [14:03] 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] 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] adamk am upgrading right now [14:04] or not... [14:04] ack i should have allocated more space for linux... [14:04] hounndo_2: is a clean install feasable?

[14:37] 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] kindly assist me with a command which will allow read write access to all files and folders in /var directory [14:37] StrangeNoises: I seem to recall trouble with 13.04 trying to use btrfs for / [14:37] 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 :) [14:38] kblin_web, well, that's an exotic thing to be doing tbf [14:38] StrangeNoises: why? [14:38] Anyway, did anyone of you have any other ideas about how to fix the unresponsive top panel in unity? [14:38] gustavnikolaj_, for that kind of thing i actually used to really like gentoo. no such thing as a distro version upgrade [14:38] StrangeNoises: yea - rolling releases kind of do solve that problem [14:39] kblin_web, isn't it still rather early days for btrfs? [14:39] hillary_: thats far too dangerous. what exactly do you need it for? [14:39] StrangeNoises: it's been in the mainline kernel since 2009, iirc [14:40] i think i heard that btrfs was still experimental [14:40] right, here we go again, without extra space [14:41] 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] 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] StrangeNoises: arguably the kernel doesn't have a default filesystem [14:41] am customizing a site [14:41] 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 === Sammy is now known as Guest89198 [14:41] well no the *kernel* doesn't, but distro-makers make their choices... [14:42] also, available filesystems that grub can work with can be a factor [14:42] 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] hm. crashed again. this isn't good [14:43] if i can allow read write to all the folders and files in the directory, it will make my work easy [14:43] i think i may have to make this disk in a mac at this rate [14:43] hillary_: what tool are you using to edit the files? [14:43] DrGrov: I found a way to solve your issue without rebooting: killall unity-panel-service [14:43] reg edit [14:43] it will force it to restart === Guest89198 is now known as Sammy__ [14:43] hillary_: is it /var/www you need access to? [14:44] exactly [14:44] /var/www/elgg [14:44] heh, my cat has found a spot *behind* my monitors, where she can peek over at me. [14:45] does anyone experience /etc/X11/X missing? [14:45] hillary_: use gksudo gedit /var/www/elgg/path/to/filename [14:47] this happened when i did some "cleaning" in ubuntu tweak, my os is 12.04 running unity 2d [14:47] i fixed this issue myself, but after an unsuccessful logout (freeze) the issue happens again [14:47] 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. === Sammy_ is now known as Sammy-_ [14:48] this issue is rather annoying as the observed phenomenon is that the computer boots, then black screen without any error message [14:49] hillary_ ideally you should use virtualhosts [14:49] maxiaojun: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/Xorg /etc/X11/X bizare how that could have happened [14:49] yes, i know this fix, but i wanna know what triggered the missing? [14:50] hillary_: its too late now. as i said doing so will break exising sites. you need to do that before adding sites. [14:51] maxiaojun: can't think of anything that would cause it to be honest.

[15:14] YAY Xubuntu [15:14] xubuntu is way lighter than unity, but unity is nicer if the system can cope with it :-) [15:14] oh snap [15:14] so worth the effort [15:14] yessir [15:14] totally [15:15] +1 ubuntu fanbois [15:15] Unity PFFFFFT [15:15] Aut0Exec and KDE is faster, more responsive than Unity, in my experience, that is [15:15] my other computer is a mac, so unity is less of a wrench [15:16] dock may be in the wrong place but at least the menus arent ;-D [15:16] Aut0Exec: I'm running the 64 bit version by the way [15:17] whats the command on the command line to know what processes are running?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [15:25] Is there a way to give the script permissions to run as root without me having to do it myself, or is there alternatively a way to get a graphical pop-up asking for root password?

[15:31] gimmic: I usually run it as like sudo ./runWifi [15:31] I'm not sure how to get it to prompt for sudo in the bash script itself. [15:31] is it only for you? [15:31] or is this for someone else.. can it be a hack [15:31] x0011BF: sudo cmd ... [15:31] 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] http://askubuntu.com/questions/303795/run-typical-sudo-commands-from-button-on-unity [15:32] Just for me. [15:32] x0011BF: gksudo might be what you're looking for? [15:32] darth_damian_000: updates have never deleter my files [15:33] 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] deleted* === BromaxSux is now known as mooyah [15:33] That gksudo thing is probably right. [15:33] Is there a way to just give a script sudo permissions though? [15:33] gksu: Description-en: graphical frontend to su [15:33] (also does sudo) [15:33] If it's owned by root you'd need sudo permissions to run it. [15:33] Er. [15:33] To edit it. [15:33] edit what [15:34] Like if I could set a flag on it so that it doesn't need the sudo password to run as root. [15:34] x0011BF: setuid [15:34] It's not like an attacker could edit it without the sudo password anyway. [15:34] x0011BF: yeah, u can in the sudoers file. [15:35] you can save the password into a launcher, which is why I was asking aobut other users [15:35] ah. [15:35] or you can give passwordless sudo for that script in visudo [15:35] Yeah I worry about saving the password somewhere. [15:35] for your user [15:35] then use visdo [15:35] *visudo [15:35] 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] All of those things compromise security though. [15:35] darth_damian_000 In-system is safest [15:35] set it so you can passwordlessly allow execution of that script, problem is that script can be anything [15:35] the issue is that it doesn't work after a resume btw. [15:36] x0011BF: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130128020411AAZpsgc - i suggest you read the answer from, Chris D [15:36] 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] roflin: if you run: killall pulseaudio after you resume, is it ok? [15:36] What the hell huttan? A thoughtful response on Yahoo! Answers? [15:36] 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] :P [15:37] x0011BF: it happens =) [15:37] I tried with pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload, but that didn't bring it back. [15:37] 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] Because you'd need the sudo password to edit it. [15:37] ya [15:37] that's probably the best way- lock it down and set it for passwordless execution via visudo [15:38] OK, I'll read up on setuid, gksudo, visudo and that bizarro Yahoo! Answers thread. [15:38] x0011BF: The ownership and permissions on the directory the script is in also matters [15:38] Thanks for the advice gimmic , huttan and bekks. [15:38] you don't need any of that first stuff- just do visdo and proper permissions [15:38] I'll just read it anyway :P [15:38] the gksudo is only for the graphical password prompt, which you can bypass. [15:38] 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] x0011BF: which gimmic? [15:38] any user with write access to the directory can replace the script with their own [15:38] anybody tried to push alt+princscreen+c ? [15:39] holms: why?

[16:36] 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] deper29: tried that - no repsonse [16:37] sirronb: hold on a second, let me dig out the docs [16:37] Lars_G: vim, nano, gedit... what ever you prefer. just remember that there is only 1 runlevel that you're running in [16:37] deper29: Okay [16:37] 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] do runlevels even exist any more? thought just services had dependencies and it sorted itself out [16:37] sirronb: try mounting the drive with Windows on it [16:38] !runlevel [16:38] 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] deper29: partition ;) [16:38] !Upstart [16:38] 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/ === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [16:38] lets see I saw those docs and I saw no reference on disabling stuff but I'll see again [16:38] ActionParsnip: oh, I did not know it was a partition. derp. [16:38] sirronb: s/drive/partition/ [16:39] irgautvol: install pastebinit: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors [16:39] ActionParsnip: ugh, you know what I meant. [16:40] 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] 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] jubale: what was the command you linked [16:40] jubale: the command is "ln -s" for a symbolic link [16:40] hitsujiTMO : /var/crash/_usr_lib_i386-linux-gnu_indicator-sound.. ok give me some time [16:40] Oh I get it now. [16:40] sirronb: you just mounted now? [16:40] or was it mounted when you ran os-prober? [16:41] 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] 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] I did 'sudo ln -s ./manager-linux-x64.run /usr/bin/lampp-manager ', but calling lampp-manager returned command not found. [16:41] 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] ouch if c: is no :-) [16:42] jubale: you should use the full path [16:42] jubale: Ok, then, a) use full path for symlinking, b) check manager-linux-x64.run has the executable flag set [16:42] it's looking for manager-linux-x64.run in /usr/bin [16:42] jubale: you'll find that link is wrong [16:42] yeah [16:42] jubale: ls -la .//usr/bin/lampp-manager [16:43] jubale: ls -la /usr/bin/lampp-manager [16:43] Used full path and now it says permission denied. [16:43] also, /usr/local/bin might be a better choice [16:43] for your link [16:43] StrangeNoises: c should only be harmfull if both files exist, so symlinking would fail anyhow [16:43] jubale: right, so look at the permissions on the target, not the link [16:43] jubale: give the full math for manager-linux-x64.run [16:44] jubale: And if you're symlinking again, remove the link you created wrongly first [16:44] It is owned by root [16:44] jubale: ok, you're not root [16:44] sirronb: hmm, I do not know why os-prober doesn't see windows [16:44] I used sudo [16:44] jubale: and..... [16:45] and it said not permitted [16:45] jubale: what does it actually say - word for word [16:45] deper29: what's the output of: sudo fdisk -l [16:45] Unable to initialize installer. [16:45] Is /tmp writable ? [16:45] Is SELinux enabled? You may need to disable it temporarily [16:45] Please see below for details [16:45] http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/index.html#id2826056 [16:45] jubale: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:46] sirronb: see what hitsujiTMO said [16:46] 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] hitsujiTMO /6365598 [16:46] deper29: I have 3 drives installed. 1 for Ubuntu; 1 for Windoze; 1 for databackups [16:47] sirronb: I believe you. can you pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l' [16:47] deper29: It used to work until the last update. Then no more Windoze. [16:47] irgautvol: Is that md5? [16:48] Lars_G no, ref for pastebinit [16:48] irgautvol: must be some part of you gnome config causing the crash. [16:49] Yes, /tmp is world writable. [16:49] hitsujiTMO : Yes I agree, but how do I debug? [16:49] jubale: can I just ask why you are not just using a standard lamp install ? [16:49] deper29: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365615/ [16:50] irgautvol: the norm is to start resetting the configs by remaning them [16:50] Because I choose not to deal with the configurations. [16:50] configurations ? [16:50] where does upstart keeps track of when a service is up ? I'm having some issues with it [16:50] Because I chose to use XAMPP. It is not a crime. [16:50] sirronb: can I see your /etc/fstab? [16:50] hitsujiTMO : Ok which? I started renaming folders. [16:51] 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] 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] irgautvol: try starting with .config [16:51] I've found at easier to use XAMPP for now. I'll probably use lampp in the future. [16:52] jubale: not sure how you've found it easier when you've not got it installed [16:52] It is installed, I shut down standard lamp services. [16:52] sirronb: can you tell us the output of: sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sda | pastebinit [16:52] jubale: standard lamp services ? they should not be installed unless you installed them [16:52] is there a way to show all packages that have a version greater than that in the repository? [16:53] jubale: why would you install lamp to then install xamp [16:53] Yes, I did install them. I just haven't been using them. [16:53] this is a bad configuration [16:53] deper29: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365636/ [16:53] My problem isn't specific to XAMPP, nor is this channel. And, I do not believe I have to justify my choice to anyone. [16:54] sirronb: 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' [16:54] jubale: your problem startin Xammp IS specific to Xammp. that's why you are asking for help running it [16:54] jubale: you don't have to justify anything - so I'll wish you good luck moving forward. [16:54] hitsujiTM0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365637/ [16:54] When I left click it often registers a double-click on my logitech mx5500 wireless mouse. Not sure where to start. Is that a hardware, driver, or ubuntu problem? [16:54] sirronb: your windows install is an mbr install and your ubuntu install is a uefi install [16:55] No. I asked for help getting a symlink to work. I've been using XAMPP for weeks. [16:55] 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] irgautvol: try some of the other .folders [16:55] jubale: the symlink works, thats why you are getting the error - because it's executing [16:55] hitsujiTM0: What must I do to fix it === waltercool_ is now known as waltercool [16:55] Okay. [16:56] sirronb: you may need to reinstall ubuntu can you tell us the output of: sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sda | pastebinit [16:56] jubale xampp does not even have its own dedicated channel (anymore) [16:57] jubale that is: there's no one there [16:57] Manager launches if I execute it directly. Launching via symlink is what has an issue. [16:57] hey , im trying to install Ubuntu 13 on a machine with UEFI , next to a windows 7 (dual boot), can i get support through this process ? [16:57] hitsujiTM0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365656/ [16:58] hitsujiTMO how do I kill that vt8 session for me - to make sure I can move the .Xauth folder and restart the login [16:58] jubale: it maybe statically linked [16:58] irgautvol: .Xauth isnt a folder [16:58] Why would that matter? [16:58] so ive formatted all drives , windows 7 is fresh installed on my SSD drive , it has one partition with 100mb EFI system partition. Now i want to install ubuntu on my secondary HDD [16:59] jubale: is this ubuntu ? [16:59] Hello! Does anybody know how to change intervals in brightness controlled by Fn+ keys ? I'd be glad for help [16:59] jubale: is this on ubuntu [16:59] Yes. [16:59] jubale: what version [16:59] 13.04 [16:59] anything special i have to take in mind now ? [16:59] I removed bumblebee and installed nvidia-prime. The xorg.conf file generated by nvidia-prime did not work and only provided a login shell at startup. I replaced the xorg.conf file with the xorg.conf.backup file in /etc/X11 after rebooting the laptop's builtin monitor is in a low resolution mode of 640x480 but the external monitor on the HDMI1 output is at the right resolution. How do I get the xorg.conf file settings right to have the main monitor at 1366x7 [16:59] 68? [16:59] jubale: is it on a desktop or a virtual host [16:59] Laptop, not virtual host [16:59] sirronb: sudo lsblk | pastebinit [17:00] 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] 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] jubale: if your running it from a differnet working directory, eg: a symlink, those paths maybe wrong [17:00] Oh. [17:00] hitsujiTM0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365674/ [17:01] Stranngenoises, i will try this now , last time i had issues as the GRUB didnt load so it would always start up windows , not giving me the choice of which OS to boot [17:01] Hello!

I'd be glad for help [17:01] xev is cool [17:02] sirronb: finally: mount | pastebinit [17:02] ok the GRUB loaded , so try ubuntu without installing , or straight to Install ubuntu ?

[17:03] !nomodeset | Granis [17:03] Granis: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

I don't think it's accepting any keyboard input. Any ideas? [17:03] Sorry Granis that was meant for Grimm0 [17:04] hitsujiTMO sorry I meant as group .. .Xauthority .Xauthority-c and .Xauthority-l [17:04] Rory, thank you for the link , exactly what i needed [17:04] param: sudo apt-get install make [17:04] hitsujiTM0: I have not re-installed no [17:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365690/ [17:04] Keyboard works fine pre-boot, selecting the OS to boot, and in the live CD. It's only the crypt password entry that doesn't work. I tried with a wireless USB keyboard and a cabled USB keyboard.

[17:05] Rory : make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [17:05] param: Looks like you already have "make" installed then :) What are you actually trying to do by the way? [17:06] loizbek: What do you mean by "70G unaccounted for" ? [17:06] hi [17:07] Rory: I have used baobab that says my home directory weighs 195 GB. [17:07] since recently (probably update to 13.10), I can't enter accented characters through a dead key in Emacs anymore. It works in all other apps, even in Emacs in a terminal. I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 and Emacs 24.3.1. I use the "English (international AltGr dead keys)" input source [17:07] Hello! Does anybody know how to change intervals in brightness controlled by Fn+ keys ? I'd be glad for help [17:07] irgautvol: ignore them for now and try other .files and folders [17:08] 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] hitsujiTMO I think I have tried all the resent ones [17:09] 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] 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. [17:10] MisioPysio: have a look at the scripts in /etc/acpi/events/ [17:10] Rory http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365711/ [17:10] 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 [17:11] 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] 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] so i select the free space under /dev/sdb , i click the + sign , the create partition dialog pops up [17:11] => 67 GB that my home folder contains are in no folder scanned by baobab === SuperGonzo` is now known as ULTIMATEgonzo [17:12] MisioPysio: You could install the xbacklight application http://askubuntu.com/questions/103249/how-to-increase-brightness-in-smaller-steps === ULTIMATEgonzo is now known as TheLord0fTime [17:12] i've tried it nothing changes [17:12] + I've cleared 30+ GB this week end haven't added data and today I've had to make space again, which is really really unusual [17:12] so i give 200000mb for the first partition (where i want ubuntu installed) , thats 200gig right ? [17:12] 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? [17:12] Rory i mean i have all this things working, but only intervals when im using Fn keys are incorrect... - weird [17:13] and i make it Primary , beginneing of this space , ext4 . What do i use as mount point ? [17:13] just / ? [17:13] MisioPysio: Those intervals are defined in your laptop's firmware and can't be realistically changed [17:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365736/ [17:14] Grimm0: / is the mountpoint where Ubuntu is installed yes === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [17:14] Rory, ok so i can create this partition , i dont need to create a boot partition before i do this ?? [17:14] irgautvol: ok create a user and add it to the sudo group. then log into that and rename your home folder. then: sudo cp -r /etc/skel /home/ [17:15] loizbek: Yes there's something mounted there, you can see by the line "gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/loizbek/.gvfs" - look in the sidebar of Nautilus and you will see what is mounted. Be aware it's not actually taking any space on your hard drive, it's just mounted under /home and so is being counted by baobab [17:16] MisioPysio: you can try playing with xrandr --output --brightness valid levels are from 0 to 1. [17:16] Rory: really I believe it goes beyond mounted drives… I would not have used 25 GB over two days without copying anything on the computer [17:16] Hello Canonicallians And Ubuntunians [17:16] Hi [17:16] loizbek: Do you have a network share mounted? What is actually in the folder "/home/loizbek/.gvfs" ? [17:16] I removed bumblebee and installed nvidia-prime. The xorg.conf file generated by nvidia-prime did not work and only provided a login shell at startup. I replaced the xorg.conf file with the xorg.conf.backup file in /etc/X11 after rebooting the laptop's builtin monitor is in a low resolution mode of 640x480 but the external monitor on the HDMI1 output is at the right resolution. How do I get the xorg.conf file settings right to have the main monitor at 1366x7 [17:16] 68? [17:16] is it possible to create an aliase for all users? for example, I would like to create the aliase chromium for chromium-browser --proxy-server=example:8080 [17:17] pizzasauce: Yes, in the file /etc/bashrc [17:17] irgautvol: you will need to sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /home/youruser after you you do all that y [17:17] pizzasauce: sorry /etc/bash.bashrc - or similar [17:17] 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 [17:18] Rory: can't see it on the side : I have unmounted my iPod and the DELL utility which were not in home [17:18] Grimm0: You don't *need* swap. YOu don't *need* a boot partition [17:18] Rory: but i know nothing of that fuse daemon [17:18] which is not displayed [17:18] loizbek: Can you run the command: "ls -alh ~/.gvfs" and pastebin it please? [17:18] anon12: have you tried without an xorg.conf ? [17:19] Files are read-only when mounted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365754/ [17:19] oh ok , i understood something else . But where does it install the GRUB 2 then ? on the ubuntu partition [17:19] ? [17:19] How can I get rw access? [17:19] Rory : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6365756/ [17:19] 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] 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 [17:20] hitsujiTMO, should I rm/mv xorg.conf and restart? [17:20] loizbek: So now you have unmounted everything, does your file usage tool still over-report space? [17:20] anon12: mv [17:20] Rory: thank you. [17:20] hitsujiTMO, what should happen after reboot? [17:20] is it still wise to add 8gig SWAP space , just to play safe ? or is that nonsense ? [17:21] anon12: hopefully you should get a normal desktop [17:21] Rory: Yep 195 GB… with the same folder sizes [17:21] hitsujiTMO, can I restart the xserver from a terminal without reboot? [17:22] anon12: its more or less a reboot, considering that its up before you login [17:22] device for boot loader installation goes to /dev/sda ? (thats where windows is installed) [17:22] abradley: if you are just getting ro when specifying rw then thats probably an issue with config on serverside [17:22] hitsujiTMO, I will be back in about 5~10 minutes to let you know if it worked [17:23] http://tinypic.com/r/kbcf85/5 Rory I get this error [17:23] hitsujiTMO, thanks for your input. THe share is setup correctly. Other windows machines can rw correctly [17:23] Rory: when I first noticed this, the free space of the HD was changing in nautilus, each time I was updated… [17:26] 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] Hi [17:27] I was thinking I wasn't feeling well, so I went to sleep for a "bit" [17:27] slept for 8 hours O.O [17:28] at last I'm back with kvirc [17:28] how is kvirc?

[17:33] 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] Grimm0, I have a command for you that can tell you that [17:34] 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] hy [17:34] Serus, can i use a command while in the partition table screen of ubuntu ?

[17:39] Grimm0: you just want to tell it to mount it as /boot/efi thats it [17:39] 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] Grimm0, what did you select? Try ubuntu or install ubuntu? [17:39] Serus he's in the installer mode,not live mode [17:39] hitsujiTMO, i dont find how to add the mount point .. [17:40] Serus, install ubuntu . Should have gone for try ubuntu without installing ?can start over [17:40] Grimm0, Too hard [17:40] Yes do that [17:40] 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] Grimm0: hmm, all i can say is hopefully the installer automatically mounts it for you [17:40] hitsujiTMO, It only does when he is in UEFI mode [17:40] example: loading a 230-odd MB SQL dump takes 45 sec on new machine, and 30 on old. [17:40] lets try again from try ubuntu first , sounds like more options there [17:40] yes [17:41] Rory : I'm a dumb fuck, it was a 70 GB file not folder… [17:41] any pointers as to what sort of tuning i should be looking at? [17:41] loizbek: please keep the lanauge appropriate in here [17:41] Rory: yet I don't understand how I get 70 GB worth of xsession-errors [17:42] i can check if its booting the drive in UEFI maybe now as wel [17:42] h00k: sorry about that [17:42] strixUK1: you may want to ask the same question in #ubuntu-server too [17:42] yes , boot order says boot option one = UEFI: sandisk (the live usb) [17:42] h00k: kind of got mad at myself for not seeing something obvious and having people loose time over it [17:42] Rory: thanks for the help anyway… [17:42] :) been there [17:43] Grimm0, If that works it will boot in UEFI mode (unless it has a fallback mode) [17:43] and thats a good thing ? =D [17:43] hitsujiTMO: ah bonus, thank you [17:43] not really :p [17:43] Because that will make you think it's in UEFI mode when it's not. [17:43] mmm , can i switch it is the question then === karloone is now known as karlo|afk [17:44] Grimm0, it depends on the files that are on the USB === MisioPysio_ is now known as MisioPysio [17:44] well good night to you guys and gals… === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [17:44] good night [17:45] Grimm0, you should also have a tab in your irc that says "Serus" [17:45] yes i can change it , in the Hard drive BBS priorities , i could bring the 'normal' Usb : sandisk up , and its now boot option one [17:45] Grimm0, boot it in UEFI mode [17:45] 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. [17:46] allright [17:46] DrGrov: have a look at the ~/.xsession-errors file [17:46] hitsujiTMO: Ok. [17:46] 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? [17:47] hitsujiTMO: Nothing much there. [17:47] DrGrov: thats the only log i can think of that would give a clue [17:47] hitsujiTMO: It says at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning a few times until the last line where it says, respwaning too fast, stopped. [17:48] hitsujiTMO: Could it be a setting somehow somewhere+ [17:48] ? [17:49] DrGrov: its a common bug tbh. i have random indicators not load for mee all the time. for some they never see certain indicators [17:50] hitsujiTMO: But how come it was visible until now then? [17:50] 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] MisioPysio: did you have a look at the scripts in /etc/acpi/events/ ? [17:51] olf-folks: /var/log/apt/history.log [17:51] hitsujiTMO: forgot about it give me a sec [17:51] hitsujiTMO: Could I sort this problem out by switching to something else than Unity? [17:51] DrGrov: you could try standard gnome [17:51] hitsujiTMO: How stable is XFCE? That should be fine with the top bar stuff? [17:51] 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 [17:52] DrGrov: xfce should be quite stable, but i've never used it. I would try gnome first [17:52] hitsujiTMO: Ok. GNOME meaning what exactly? The Classic something? [17:52] hitsujiTMO: i have files like these in there : asus-keyboard-backlight-down and asus-keyboard-backlight-up (ironically im runing on fujitsu-siemens) [17:53] Arroweb: did you MD5 test the 12.04 mini ISO you downloaded? [17:53] hitsujiTMO, your the best [17:53] DrGrov: not classic just gnome: without the unity theme [17:53] olf-folks: you're [17:53] has anyone successfully used Privoxy? I couldn't not make whitelist work [17:53] hitsujiTMO: Do I need to download that at all? [17:53] ActionParsnip: yes, could you test it and tell me if to you works? [17:53] ActionParsnip, i am not good with english [17:53] Arroweb: I have it running now, i always use minimal to avoid bloat [17:54] olf-folks: its cool :) [17:54] ActionParsnip: the 12.04 version? [17:54] Arroweb: yes, I like to stick with LTS [17:54] O_o [17:54] hitsujiTMO: Well I am off to test. [17:54] hitsujiTMO: Thanks again :) [17:54] Arroweb: what video chip do you use? [17:55] 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] DrGrov: there's a package or an alternative installer ... i think the package might be gnome-panel [17:56] Arroweb: try the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [17:56] Arroweb: I assume you are not using an Optimus system [17:56] ActionParsnip: in vbox, the same problem [17:56] hitsujiTMO: i've found script doing the brightness up/down thing [17:57] is something strange lol [17:58] 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 --brightness valid levels are from 0.0 to 1.0 [17:58] 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] 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 [17:59] Arroweb: maybe the newer xorg is needed for your particular nvidia chip [17:59] Arroweb: i use an nvidia 6150LE onboard, works well [17:59] DrGrov: as i said earlier: its a common random bug... it happens mainly for the clock for me. [17:59] hitsujiTMO: Ok. Would all other DE's have that same problem? [18:00] ActionParsnip: ok, but not works in vbox neitger (in other pc with Intel card neither) [18:00] 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] for that, is something strange === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [18:01] Arroweb: very [18:01] thought that could be other url on iso [18:01] Arroweb: Its not strange but perfectly intended that you cannot use your hosts GPU in a virtualbox vm. [18:01] 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 [18:02] bekks: In both pcs? hmm [18:02] hitsujiTMO: Ok, it is gnome-panel that I want. Thanks :) [18:03] Arroweb: Of course. Due to the nature of virtualization. [18:03] hey [18:03] Arroweb: You can read more about that in the vbox manual. [18:03] bekks: no, but in other pc with intel is same [18:03] my ubuntu 12.04 won't detect my wireless card with lspci [18:03] its an intel wifi 5100 [18:03] but thanks anyway, I will tray to find the problem [18:04] Arroweb: there is no problem. [18:04] Arroweb: You cannot use the hosts GPU in a virtualbox vm. [18:04] I know that [18:04] I say with other pc (intel card, normal) not works neither [18:05] Arroweb: Do you talk about a vm "not workin"? [18:05] then for me is strange [18:05] bekks: in pc (not vm) and vm, both [18:05] does someone uses a intel wifi link 5100 in an x200s? [18:05] Arroweb: In a vm, just forget about it. [18:06] thoonai: maybe here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/261988/no-longer-able-to-use-wifi-adapter-intel-wifi-link-5100-ubuntu-12-04 [18:06] bekks: yes, but the latest works fine, in both :) [18:06] Arroweb: You should clarify what you are talking about. [18:07] bekks: ok I will star again hehehe [18:07] start* [18:07] lotuspsychje: thanks, but this doesn work [18:07] ok, I have a pc with nvidia card and other pc with intel card === soul is now known as Guest87547 [18:07] right? [18:08] so [18:08] Arroweb: Dont use enter that often :P [18:08] sorry [18:08] thoonai: did you card work before on ubuntu? [18:09] I had downloaded de minimal iso of 12.04 (first, to test) [18:09] lotuspsychje: the output of lshw -c network doesnt display the wiki crd [18:09] lotuspsychje: nope [18:09] Arroweb: Start stating your issue please, for clarification. [18:09] thoonai: did you check your additional drivers section? [18:09] thoonai: can you pastebin the output of lspci [18:09] hitsujiTMO: sure [18:10] bekks: 12.04 stuck screen, and 13.04 works fine [18:10] Arroweb: Solvable with installing the graphics driver. [18:10] IHi I have a clean install of 13.10 but there seems to be a problem with my repos. I have installed Y PPA Manager but this cannot seem to solve the issues. Any ideas?# [18:10] hmm [18:11] Arroweb: what exactly do you mean by stuck screen? [18:11] Arroweb: Just in a vm, you have to use the guest additions, to install the graphics driver for the vbox graphics adapter. [18:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6366016/ [18:11] lotuspsychje: I tried once but it doesnt found any hardware for additional drivers [18:11] bekks: ahm I talking about my pc, not vm [18:11] hitsujiTMO: purple screen [18:12] Arroweb: boot with nomodeset [18:12] hitsujiTMO: ok, I'll try [18:12] thoonai: you did not accidentaly push the wifi button off, or disable in bios? [18:12] Arroweb: Then install the correct graphics driver, after booting with the nomodeset option, e.g. === wcchandler is now known as wcchandelier [18:13] lotuspsychje: nope and nope I checked both [18:13] So if I install XFCE4 on 13.10 it is only "sudo apt-get install xfce4"? [18:13] bekks: That isn't that I mind [18:13] i have no Idea. normally lspci should recognize the card even if there no drivers available [18:13] !uptime [18:14] !info xfce4 [18:14] xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.10.1 (saucy), package size 4 kB, installed size 31 kB [18:14] thoonai: is there a hardware switch turned off on the laptop? [18:14] damn 0 people, impressive [18:14] so but ive to go in few minutes so I'll get back later [18:15] hitsujiTMO: no there isnt [18:15] thoonai: wifi card dead maybe? [18:16] is there a more good way to remove alot of packages at one time other than apt-get remove etc [18:16] lotuspsychje: I guess so and im quite unhappy bout this ida [18:16] idea [18:16] olf-folks: That is the best way. [18:16] olf-folks: you can list multiple packages in apt-get [18:16] olf-folks: sudo apt-get --purge remove package1 package2 package3 [18:17] Greetings, I'm installing Ubuntu LTS, it generates valid crypttab for swap, but by the looks of it it fails to read it. [18:17] thoonai: you could try the livedvd and see if wifi works there maybe [18:17] olf-folks: remove the main page that you installed and the dependents will also get removed [18:18] hitsujiTMO, i installed gnome-tweak-tool and right after that i rebooted and my sound no longer works [18:18] olf-folks: try: killall pulseaudio [18:18] olf-folks: that's the weirdest one yet === zz_silverf0x is now known as silverf0x [18:19] Also, I'd like to have a shared encrypted /home with another Linux distro and I'd like to be queried for pasword when Ubuntu loads but — again — it fails to recoginze crypttab, so I need to go to tty1, luskOpen my device and mount it manually during each boot. [18:19] Hi I have a clean install of 13.10 but there seems to be a problem with my repos so that they cannot update. I have installed Y PPA Manager but this cannot seem to solve the issues. Any ideas? [18:19] olf-folks: pgrep pulseaudio? [18:20] AJH101: can you pastebin the error you receive? [18:20] AJH101: indian repos by any chance?

[18:29] ActionParsnip, yeah i ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [18:29] ActionParsnip: Cannot find the Pastebin link address and i do not want to paste directly here - can you help? [18:29] right after i installed it [18:29] !paste | AJH101 [18:29] AJH101: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [18:30] AJH101: use http://pastie.org [18:30] i should be able to uninstall ati's vid drivers under software center shouldnt i ? [18:30] 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] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6366096/ [18:31] DrGrov: your preferences won't disappear [18:31] DrGrov: even for applications you uninstall they won't [18:31] reisio: Good if that is the case. I am a bit paranoid about that kind of stuff. [18:31] AJH101: disable the CD as a package source, the rest is fine [18:31] AJH101: comment out the cdrom in your apr sources [18:31] what's the argument for zip to compress the current directory only, without subdirectories? [18:31] DrGrov: data in ~/ (that is, /home/yourUser/) is usually not altered unless you ask for it to be [18:31] DrGrov: are you planning to remove unity completly or not? [18:31] reisio: Is there any internet interaction or such in other WM or DE ? [18:32] SDr: the files in the current directory? === ZIPY_ is now known as ZIPY [18:32] reisio, yes [18:32] SDr: if they have a . in them, you could do zip foo.zip *.* [18:32] 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] SDr: otherwise: zip foo.zip $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f) [18:33] AJH101: you can use software centre to do it, or comment out the top few lines in /etc/apt/sources.list [18:33] 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] i think it may be faster to format and reinstall rather than remove all of thoes packages [18:33] DrGrov: is there what now? [18:33] reisio: Huh? [18:33] DrGrov: no settings should be altered, they'll just sit there and wait for Unity, even if you uninstall Unity [18:34] DrGrov: and if they don't, you don't want to use such daft software anyways [18:34] 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] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the advice :-) [18:34] DrGrov: I don't know about safe, but it will help keep Xfce uncluttered [18:34] DrGrov: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntu [18:34] DrGrov: might be out of date, now, but you get the idea [18:35] we had a few users having issues here removing unity [18:35] reisio: Yes, probably uncluttered is the best for me. I do not like stuff hanging around from before. [18:35] reisio, yup, that works, thanks [18:35] reisio: Ok. Will look into that. Thanks [18:35] Then install xubuntu :D [18:35] im thinking about installing xu [18:36] !xubuntu [18:36] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [18:36] AJ_Z0: no worries dude, the CLI will nearly always give more useful output than GUI things [18:36] lotuspsychje: But would I still need to keep Unity around? [18:36] if you need it [18:36] DrGrov: thats up to you mate, i would not do it personaly [18:37] lotuspsychje: You would leave Unity stuff around? [18:37] DrGrov: yes, or switch to xubuntu like Martinjo84 suggests [18:37] lotuspsychje: I think I know what I do until I get some peace of mind. Fluxbox. [18:38] What risks are there when removing Unity? === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [18:39] I find ubuntu gnome to be more stable than ubuntu, is that weird? [18:39] DrGrov: its supposed to all go flawless, but we had users removing unity and break stuff [18:39] lotuspsychje: Is there users who have actually managed to get it completely removed without issues? [18:39] DrGrov the risk is being stuck with just a kernel after apt-get messes up and uninstalls every dependency [18:40] hitsujiTMO: Ok, that is then a no-go for me. === david is now known as Guest64488 [18:40] DrGrov: im sure there are many succesfull [18:40] lotuspsychje: That is a relief :) [18:40] DrGrov: if you install xfce or whatever first, its usually ok [18:40] I just can not stand Unity now with this missing power button. [18:40] DrGrov: check the pure link from reisio [18:41] sam113101: not when you consider what Unity is based off, no [18:41] lotuspsychje: Will do. [18:41] !crypttab [18:41] !info crypttab [18:41] Package crypttab does not exist in saucy [18:42] reisio: what is it based off? [18:42] lotuspsychje: yeah, it's not a package. Do you know anything about how does Ubuntu handle crypttab though? [18:42] 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] MagBo: sorry no [18:43] This is too complicated anyhow. [18:43] ok, sorry. [18:43] Probably best to just reinstall everything from scratch. [18:43] sam113101: Unity? GNOME 3 and compiz, a barely maintained buggy fancy window manager [18:43] reisio: barely maintained? [18:43] Semajnad: is the binary in question the only thing user should be capable of running? [18:44] reisio: really? [18:44] * lotuspsychje is happy with unity, compiz and wobbly windows :p [18:44] 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] ActionParsnip: compared to other window managers, I'd say so yes [18:44] !info openbox > lotuspsychje [18:45] unity next won't be a compiz plugin, right? [18:45] 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. [18:46] sam113101: right [18:46] Hello. I have a question. Is the dhcp server necessary for pxe install if I have both computers behind a router? [18:46] Dooma: as long as you can get dhcp, its fine [18:46] Hi all [18:47] Dooma: PXE needs a BOOTP/DHCP server somewhere on the network segment, or else a DHCP relay/proxy if via a router [18:47] 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] hitsujiTMO: seems fine to me. I'd always use openbox, even with 1Tb RAM [18:47] 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. === dean is now known as dean|away [18:48] openbox lookin neat here: http://www.deviantart.com/?q=openbox&offset=72 [18:48] 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] Semajnad: do you need any clarification, or everything that I said is understandable? [18:48] lotuspsychje: i dont even have a background [18:48] 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 [18:49] hitsujiTMO: lol, i always loved ubuntu eyecandy.. [18:49] I really need some halp with this — Ubuntu generates valid crypttab for swap, but by the looks of it it fails to read it. What's more: I'd like to have a shared encrypted /home with another Linux distro and I'd like to be queried for pasword when Ubuntu loads but — again — it fails to recoginze crypttab, so I need to go to tty1, luskOpen my device and mount it manually during each boot. [18:49] 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? [18:50] lotuspsychje: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8850924/raring.png :) [18:50] snakeds_: i like transmission the most [18:50] another guy adviced me for transmission too [18:50] Snake2k: transmission-daemon [18:50] 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] snakeds_: I use transmission and set up a password pretected frontend with apache [18:50] snakeds_: but I personally use rtorrnt. [18:51] JokesOnYou77: is Apache HTTP server still alive? o_0 [18:51] I need use what is more easyer to install, i'm jsut a student with very low experience [18:51] 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] install and run, ofcourse... [18:51] MagBo: that was a joke, right? [18:51] snakeds_: i have transmission also with password prteded frontend + ssl proxied thru nginx [18:52] ActionParsnip: nice1 ! [18:52] most people are telling transmission, i'll call for it [18:52] hitsujiTMO: How often did you get that problem with the top bar in 13.10 Unity? [18:52] i think it'll take me 2 hours to install completely === thomas is now known as Guest44582 [18:53] I didn't catch what transmission-daemon have to do with Web UI ? [18:53] 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] Is web Ui the manager? [18:53] DrGrov: not too often. but then again this laptop can be on for days at a time [18:53] ActionParsnip: here's mine: http://oi41.tinypic.com/14vqqdf.jpg [18:53] 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 :) [18:54] hitsujiTMO: Ok. I just am testing now to see how many times it goes missing. Now 2 times already without it missing. [18:54] snakeds_: it's backend for WebUI. [18:54] hitsujiTMO: If it continues probably will go with xfce. [18:54] 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] is there anyway i can control the CLI parameters that the gmail unity web app is launched with? [18:54] snakeds_: transmission-daemon comes with a web interface ... its safest to reverse proxy it thru a real web server [18:54] Brb [18:54] got it [18:54] bonsoir j'ai des difficulté a me connecter a mon compt admin je ne peut pas changer mon password non plus que dois-je faire ? merci [18:54] but i don't have a real web server..

[18:55] merci [18:55] if i need apache i guess i'll wait for a moment [18:55] 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] I just put samba for work with 4 users here in my flathome [18:55] lotuspsychje: ActionParsnip ... i don't have anything installed to take screen shots :( [18:55] bitnumus: That usually means that you have hardware problems. Check the disk's S.M.A.R.T status with gnome-disks. [18:55] It took me a 4 weeks [18:55] TJ-: thank you so much, sir! [18:55] /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc [18:56] snakeds_: you don't have to. It can run on its own without and you can password protect it. It's more secure with a web server because you can use ssl [18:56] do i need a firewall or antivirus on my ubuntu laptop [18:56] Jordan_U, i checked, it says Disk OK. would this rule the drive out ? === duckxxx is now known as duckxx [18:56] !info scrot | hitsujiTMO [18:56] hitsujiTMO: scrot (source: scrot): command line screen capture utility.

[18:56] i don't want to go and buy a new HDD tomorrow (this is an SSD) if there is a new bug [18:56] do i need to enable the firewall or does it work from its own [18:56] I'll go up for the install. My thanks for all the asnkwers [18:57] Hey guys, I am running 13.10 but my window management seems to be missing. minimize max, bar all that. Do you know how to reset it? [18:57] snakeds_: you should go for nginx+SSL with self-signed certificate, I would say. I haven't heard anything about Apache for quite a while and it's quite a whale. [18:57] bitnumus: Could you please pastebin the contents of /var/log/dmesg? [18:57] with PS1, is there a way to set my SSH client's titlebar? I'm using termional, and I'd like the tabs to be set to the name of the remote server I'm connecting to. [18:57] last question Ubuntu server does have a irc chat? [18:57] this channel? [18:58] omg [18:58] sorry [18:58] hmm, Jordan_U the SMART utility says 'Disk OK' but at the top, there is 'Read/Write errors' > Normalised 94, Threshold 50 [18:58] snakeds_: are you asking if there's a channel, or if the server edition comes with an IRC client? [18:58] doesn't that indicate its screwed ? [18:58] Ziber: You wouldn't use $PS1 for that, but it is possible to change the title of your terminal window/tab. [18:59] bitnumus: It may be that the drive is fine, but the cable connecting it is loose. [18:59] JokesOnYou77 If there's a channel just for ubuntu server, but i guess it is this one [18:59] Jordan_U: How would you recommend I do that then? [18:59] Jordan_U, thats odd as i haven't touched it in ages! [18:59] snakeds_: if your downloading 100gb / day from a vps/dedicated server via college/work and you don't want the it department asking why you're downloading xxxx.mpg then you want ssl. you can also get actual ssl certs for free from startssl.com [19:00] Jordan_U, i'll shut it down and check cabling [19:00] snakeds_: #ubuntu-server [19:00] HitSujiTMO but the server is in my home, and i guess the download i'll be done by here [19:00] will* [19:00] snakeds_: you'll be fine without and web server so [19:01] \o/ [19:01] Thanks dudes [19:01] hitsujiTMO: yeah, but snakeds_ will leak his password in coffeeshops et al.

What is the output of "echo $PS1" for you? [19:05] sounds complicated for me hitsujiTMO. [19:05] 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] snakeds_: I use that to my server for having it mirror important/rare ISOs [19:05] snakeds_: its actually really easy. [19:05] Serus: install the package, logout ubuntu and re-login to cinnamon [19:05] Awesome [19:06] ok i'll install the transmission-daemon with the web UI [19:06] And after i think about some ssh-tunnel [19:06] Jordan_U: I have set it custom: [\u@\h] (\w) $ [19:06] 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.

It's the same whether legacy USB is "enabled" or "disabled" in the BIOS [20:21] joossee: no, you need to use the version that comes with the distro [20:22] 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] 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] can some one help me [20:22] joossee: you need to put it in a valid section. [20:22] ikonia, sorry.. nest it in a Screen and Monitor section [20:22] since i upgraded to 13.10 my usb keyboard don't works any more on boot [20:22] ikonia, ok i will try that now [20:22] Frank81: I think I'm having the same issue [20:23] any ideas how i could fix that ? it only works with the old 3.8 kernel image [20:23] I just did a fresh install and my USB keyboard doesn't work for entering the crypt password [20:23] samuelq maybe you got the same i have it since half a year [20:23] samuelq then you got same issu right [20:24] you got a logitech keyboard? [20:24] do you know what motherboard you got ? [20:24] Frank81: Yes I think so. I've never had issues like this before though I've never had a fully encrypted LVM volume as my root partition. Only used encrypted home directories before. I really like this better (if it actually works!) [20:24] coz i checked the ini ram disk and the usb drivers get loaded i think its a complet usb stack problem [20:24] Frank81: Hang on I'll get the model number ... [20:26] i am so glad that i found you samuelq coz together we can make a bug submission :D i alone couldnt do that since i cant reproduce the error to verfiy it i have no secund pc with same config [20:26] Frank81: It's a Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H [20:26] ya [20:26] jackpot [20:26] we got the problem [20:27] Lol ... well happy to help [20:27] i have a Gigabyte Mainboard too [20:27] Nice! [20:27] Well nice that we can actually figure out the cause at least! [20:27] I dont think your problems are hardware related at all. [20:27] bekks nope but the bug is related to the mainboard or chipset some how [20:27] You both have harddisks, CPU, RAM, too. :P [20:27] Frank81: I dont think so. === Kara is now known as Guest60840 [20:28] Ok Then tell me why does it work with kernel 3.8 and not with 3.8 + [20:28] Frank81: Basically, you have no proof for that assumption. [20:28] if all drivers got loaded? [20:28] Is it possible that a kernel moduel for USB keyboard support isn't loaded? I also found this regarding a similar issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1066376 [20:28] Ubuntu bug 1066376 in base-installer (Ubuntu Precise) "keyboard doesn't work to enter password with panda and encrypted partitions ubuntu" [Undecided,Confirmed] [20:28] When I used "windows_package" to do an install using Chef, I noted it leaves the install package on your machine. If you run the recipe a second time, it fails (I assume because it cannot clobber the existing install file)? Anyone have experience with this? [20:28] Frank81: I know several people using encrypted setup with kernels > 3.8 [20:28] samuelq: might be an old bug re-occuring https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/229732 [20:28] Ubuntu bug 229732 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) "USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs" [Low,Fix released] [20:29] Frank81: So that doesnt qualify it to be a "gigabyte hardware releated issue". [20:29] samuelq thats not the problem i checked the init initram disk the drivers are in and even get loaded [20:30] the problem is even more tricky the keyboard works in grub befor drivers get loaded ^^ [20:30] Frank81: Yes same here. Keyboard is fine pre-boot, in grub, and after boot (live CD) [20:30] 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] and fixed her issus but still don't works for me [20:31] ya for any reason it don't uses bios method to access the keyboard [20:31] there are tips to disable nativ USB Support and then it should work but it dosn't [20:31] When I tried that I couldn't use my keyboard in grub either [20:31] right that [20:32] exactly same here and i got this problem as soon as kernel got newer as 3.8 [20:32] i even installed the pre versions of 13.10 [20:32] but couldn't submit a bug since all always say i can't verify it [20:33] now i can with you [20:33] and you even did fresh install [20:33] 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] Yes this is a fresh 13.10 install as of a few hours ago. [20:33] submit a bug report [20:33] on lunchpad [20:33] and tell me link i verfiy it [20:33] david38400: is this a fresh install?

[20:34] It seems that way...... yes [20:35] are ye able to chroot in and run an apt-get upgrade incase the affect package has already been fixed? [20:35] bean__ Can you help at all? [20:35] Frank81: samuelq ^^ [20:35] 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] Wait what? [20:35] 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? [20:36] Frank81 hitsujiTMO: Should I create the launchpad issue? [20:36] bean__ A shame, I will have to check on Thunderbird web...... Thanks a lot [20:36] rustuptwist: do you use ubuntu? [20:36] rustuptwist, why are you here? [20:37] 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] 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] joossee: You need to put that Display SubSection inside a Screen Section. [20:37] 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] hitsujiTMO: ya i am in no problem i simply boot old kernel [20:37] joossee: ^^ [20:37] samuelq: make the bug [20:37] 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?

[20:38] samuelq: please, there was an update to intramfs-tools after the cd release for a similar issue [20:38] Hecter: whats the exact issue? [20:38] hitsujiTMO: Okay I'll try updating it first then ... [20:38] 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] adamk, i did? does the pastebin not reflect that? [20:39] joossee: The xorg.conf file you pasted is only three lines long... [20:39] oh my bad [20:39] 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] samuelq: no need since month i update and reboot always when changes to he kernel or init happen [20:39] nothing changed [20:39] 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] adamk, ikonia http://pastebin.com/wxFPYFVH [20:39] bekks : im trying to use my SSH access to allow ftp uploads for /var/www [20:39] The HDD has in-built driver but it's for windows, of course. [20:40] Hecter: and whats the exact issue? [20:40] samuelq: would seem to be ... i don't use encryption so i don't know whats invovled in mounting the encrypted partition [20:40] joossee: I *believe* every Screen section needs at least an Identifier. [20:40] adamk, like monitor-id ? [20:40] samuelq, i can help you in a few mins probably [20:41] adamk screen -S [name] [20:41] 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] MonkeyDust: What? [20:41] joossee: Just some generic identifier. Can be anything, really. [20:41] when i try to log in im getting : ERROR:> [11/6/2013 4:30:20 AM] Control connection closed. [20:41] joossee: And I'm not even completely sure it's necessary now. It certainly was a while ago. [20:41] samuelq: do so i ll watch joossee so he cant run away and he helps us the n [20:41] adamk, iam looking at the xorg documentation but i am not clear ongeneric identifier? [20:42] joossee: Give it a name. Any name. [20:42] Identifier "SomeName" [20:42] Hecter: then your overall setup is wrong. Most likely a firewall is blocking port 20, e.g. [20:42] adamk just after the screen section declaration? [20:42] Can someone help me with KDE problem? [20:43] joossee: Yep. [20:43] I can't log in to kde because I messed up with amd driver update [20:43] 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] Hecter: Basically forget that guide. [20:43] you have a better guide? [20:44] Anyone have experience with installing to a mac machine? I'm concerned with the EFI [20:44] ShadowStrider: So the problem isn't really with KDE, but with your driver? [20:44] yeah I think so [20:44] Hecter: you dont need a guid for changing five well documented options in the config file. [20:44] and my wlan is not working when I'm not logged in KDE [20:45] ShadowStrider: Does your X server just not start up? [20:45] no [20:45] startx [20:45] ShadowStrider: No. Dont use startx. [20:45] what then? [20:45] samuelq, `what problem are you having? [20:46] ShadowStrider: We'll have to see the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file that is generated after you boot up. [20:46] bekks : yeah but the problem is, im a newbie of newbies. i dont know where to look for the config file. :/ [20:46] and how do I recover that file? [20:46] ShadowStrider: start your desktop environment, like sudo service lightdm start [20:46] why do not command "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" work on my ubuntu 12.10 [20:46] Hecter: /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf [20:46] sudo service lightdm start [20:46] ok [20:47] bekks : copy that :) [20:47] kgalahassa: We dont know? Tell us which error you get. [20:47] Will do [20:47] be back soon ---> [20:48] joossee: At boot I cannot enter the password for my root partition. The keyboard doesn't work. [20:48] Joossee Samuelq and me have the same problem NO USB Keyboard works after grube since Ubuntu Kernel Newer then 3.8 [20:48] samuelq, o...k. you have an unencrypted boot partition yes? [20:48] joossee: USB keyboard ... Works fine pre-boot, grub, and live CD. Only doesn't work when entering the root partition decryption key. [20:48] the usb hid driver get loaded === GZA-Genius is now known as GZA-AFK [20:48] samuelq, ok so everything works fine up until "Enter passphrase: "? [20:48] we both have full encrypted LVM [20:48] joossee: Yes boot is unencrypted (I'm assuming!), the root is encrypted. [20:49] joossee: Yes. [20:49] joossee thats right [20:49] and even after boot all works right [20:49] Fyi, fresh install of 13.10 and I just checked the "Encrypt the entier disk ..." checkbox [20:49] bekks, ok, see: http://pastebin.com/sCr2jq3A [20:49] samuelq: Frank81 actually looking again, the fix still hasn't been pushed through [20:49] hitsujiTMO: :( [20:49] where is it [20:49] i patch my self [20:49] samuelq, and youve tried just entering the correct passphrase and hitting enter at the prompt? [20:50] i only need to know what is happening [20:50] kgalahassa: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [20:50] It doesn't accept any keyboard input. [20:50] joossee even the keyboard led's don't works and even strg + alt + entf [20:50] 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] don't works [20:50] joossee: ^ ... I tried with two USB keyboards. One wireless and one cabled. [20:50] so entering key brings nothing [20:50] my is cabled too [20:50] bekks, it does'nt work. [20:50] ok what kind of screen are you in when entering the passphrase? [20:51] like graphical ornomodeset or what? [20:51] I would have tried a PS2 keyboard but I don't have one anymore [20:51] kgalahassa: then pastebin the entire output of that command please [20:51] the same screen a alwys the normal enter passpharse screen [20:51] samuelq: Frank81: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/0.103ubuntu1.1 [20:51] 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] the blue one and even if i got directly into the console [20:51] it works [20:51] as in screen so the usb driver has a problem [20:52] samuelq, huh that weird. you installed from a LiveCD? [20:52] joossee: Yes 13.10 live CD [20:52] does anyone know what happen to the ubuntu version of inssider [20:52] 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] DJJeff: Whats that? [20:53] bekks, ok see this : http://pastebin.com/KZ7ELksv [20:53] or have a suggestion for an alt program like (inssider, netstumbler) [20:53] samuelq, hrmmm... you using a US intl keyboard in which USB port?

[20:58] bekks, ok, a minute please [20:58] i will probally wait till the commited fix is aviable [20:58] 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] good luck [20:58] but my internet connection doesn't work if I'm not on KDE [20:58] and update then but good to know that some one has done something [20:58] after half a year [20:58] I can't locate eg www.google.com [20:58] ShadowStrider: And I strongly doubt kxstudio is supported in here. [20:58] today is a good day [20:58] yeah but it's ubuntu based [20:58] 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. [20:59] ShadowStrider: Doesnt matter, it isnt supported in here.

[21:47] hackujin: by default it would look for the next lts (14.04 isn't released yet) [21:47] I also edited /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set to normal but that upgrade fails [21:47] Greetings everybody. [21:47] I'd like to get it to 13.10 if possible [21:47] hackujin, wait till 14.04 is out for the lts [21:48] is it impossible to upgrade to 13.10 ? [21:48] hackujin: getting to 13.10 involves 3 upgrades [21:48] Has anybody had any luck getting ATI Legacy drivers to work on XServer 1.13? [21:48] you need to do 12.04 to 12.10 then 12.10 to 13.04 then 13.04 then 13.10 :) [21:48] lengthy, but possible [21:48] hackujin, dual boot 13.10 transfer your stuff, and get it setup how yo like. [21:49] it's a server :/ [21:49] WobbleHeadDoll: what kernel do you have? [21:49] WobbleHeadDoll: uname -r [21:49] so how do i make it detect 12.10 update?

So just +r for www-data. How do I accomplish that www-data can +rwx at any time? [21:51] How would I be able to get drivers for my ATI Mobility Radeon HD4xxx series card then? [21:51] libapache2-mod-fastcgi : Depends: apache2.2-common (>= 2.2.4) but it is not going to be installed [21:52] Hi [21:52] samuelq: all works [21:52] I heard it may also be because the XServer is 1.13 and the legacy drivers only support XServer 1.12. [21:52] 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] Problem is I'm using this https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/apache2 for apache 2.4.x [21:53] You guys know of any way to fix the conflict?

I tried it an bonked my install :/ [21:53] adding the ohci_pci driver is 100% the problem [21:53] seems last supported version that can run that card is 12.04 (not 12.04.2 or 12.04.3) [21:54] WobbleHeadDoll: ^ [21:54] 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] but since your is a fresh install i give you now one big advice [21:54] 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?

Perhaps some research on Google might be able to provide me with answers. Thank you for all your help! [21:56] there are realy effectiv matching attaks against the encryption [21:59] ok hitsujiTMO lets solv my next problem [21:59] jawohl [21:59] i use skype on ubuntu and its wine ported when it makes sounds [22:00] i get a realy bad signal sound that don't stops until i stop the application [22:00] a realy realy bad sound realy hurting [22:00] it has something to do with pulse audio driver i think :D what can i do [22:00] 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 [22:01] how can i get it back into the screen :D [22:01] Frank81: hold left Alt, click and drag [22:02] daftykins: wunderfull thx [22:02] today is a good day today all my dreams become reality [22:02] all works [22:02] :D [22:02] i am so happy cant stop typing that sorry [22:02] Frank81: not very knowledgeable about wine i'm afraid. I avoid it like the plague. Why not use the native binary? [22:03] hitsujiTMO: The version of Skype for Linux just flat out isn't as good as the Windows version [22:03] It's about 2 years behind [22:03] Rory: its a wine port there is no skype for linux [22:03] I see ... [22:03] you can do a find and see it [22:03] it creates wine dirs [22:03] Well TIL [22:03] !info skype [22:03] Package skype does not exist in saucy [22:04] -topic [22:04] hitsujiTMO: i would love to use skype linux nativ binary maybe you can support microsoft with doing one [22:04] :D [22:04] Frank81 and Rory www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/‎ [22:05] Jpmh: ITS a WINE Version ! [22:05] Download it install it look whats get created with checkinstall or else you will see it [22:05] 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] Frank81: There is no such thing as a "skype wine version". There is a windows binary that may be executed under wine. [22:05] thx a lot hitsujiTMO [22:06] 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] bekks ok there is a Skype Package that uses WINE [22:06] Jpmh look do find / -iname 'wine' [22:06] and look what you get :D [22:07] i examined the skype port early coz i try since years to reverse engeneere some parts of it [22:07] Frank81: There isnt. You can use the Windows binary using wine, thats all. [22:07] it was more easy to get a real windows source code then the one of skype === cbx33 is now known as psavage [22:08] you CAN use the windoze version under wine or you can go to the page i gave you and get the correct version for your distro [22:08] !skype [22:08] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [22:09] are there normally any problems adding a desktop file to /usr/share/applications? I'm just trying to add eclipse but it wont appear - do I need to run somethign to update the list? [22:10] Frank81, the linux version is not a wine port [22:10] ill verfiy that [22:10] kostkon: that's what I keep telling him - I even gave him the download page - he choses to ignore facts [22:11] Jpmh, :/ [22:11] Frank81: perhaps you are thinking of teamviewer, that uses its own custom wine directory [22:13] hey guys, ive tried setting up ircd-hybrid, and the ports are open within my home network, but I get connection refused. [22:13] so i'm using gdm and I have "free'd the fish" - how do I kill the fish without having to killall gnome-panel ? [22:14] any help with my irc problem? [22:14] bekks, I'm trying. [22:15] FrancisH: Can you see the port is open when you use nmap? (nmap hostname -p portnum) [22:15] FrancisH: Or try telnetting to that port and see if you get immediately kicked off (telnet hostname portnum) [22:15] one sec rory [22:16] yeah i get right away kicked off [22:17] what does that mean? [22:18] FrancisH: It means there's nothing actually listening on that port [22:19] ok…so what do i have to do? [22:19] 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] FrancisH: Might have to use sudo netstat -tulpn [22:20] no I see the ranges set in the conf file, so 6665 to 6669 [22:20] wow [22:20] FrancisH: Do you see that in the output of netstat -tulpn? [22:20] yes [22:20] htop now shows each cpu core [22:20] Frank81: Which actual port is it listening on? [22:20] Frank81: sorry that was intended for you [22:21] FrancisH: ^^^ [22:21] wow [22:21] Rory i know i have no port problems any more [22:21] Yes Frank81 I was just hitting Fr[tab] but it fills in the most recent nick. My messages were both intended for FrancisH [22:21] in the last 4 month i made networking my primary knowleg fild coz i created a totally new way to send data accross networks [22:22] i wanna offer it as SaaS [22:22] it speeds up tcp traffic by more then 600% [22:22] FrancisH: If you look in the "PID/ProgramName" column to find your IRC daemon, then look at the corresponding entry in the "Local Address" column, what does that say?

[22:26] FrancisH: Is that the port you have been trying to connect to? [22:26] yes i believe so let me try again [22:26] Rory who runs that bot? called ubuntu? [22:26] its vulunerible === themill_ is now known as themill [22:27] in adium it still says connecting [22:27] FrancisH: Can you connect to that port on telnet? [22:27] Frank81: if you want to report any vulnerabilities about the bot, do so in #ubuntu-ops [22:27] what's with that pem_umask? i edit the /etc/login.defs changed UMASK to 0002 but it is still 022 ... [22:27] FrancisH: FYI being able to PM someone without having to say it in this channel is not a vulnerability, it's a feature [22:27] hitsujiTMO: thx again your today realy my bestfrind :D [22:28] :hybrid7.debian.local NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...

[22:28] Frank81: lol, np [22:28] FrancisH: I'd recommend finding the help channel or other documentation for the IRC daemon and asking there [22:28] ok cool thanks alot Rory i appreciate it [22:28] FrancisH: Those messages are coming from the IRC daemon you see, so if it wasn't connecting you wouldn't see them [22:29] cool thanks! [22:29] FrancisH: Also I'm not totally up on IRC, but it seems like you're trying to identify or something, but haven't set up anything to recognise what that means "No ident response" [22:29] ok ill look it up === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [22:30] How can I change the vars shown with locale permanently?

I chose /dev/sda for the boot loader and when ubuntu has finished installing I arrive at just the grub menu when I reboot my computer (just grub >). Any ideas on how I can boot into ubuntu? [22:34] eer: when you install a language pack it should list the supported locales [22:34] hitsujiTMO, I don't have an update-locale command. Is it not installed by default? [22:35] disappearedng, Try the bootrepair app, and save the bootinfo summary https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:36] eer: it should be. it works on a debootstrap install so it should be there for all [22:36] I'm running out of disk space and I'm trying to track down large files and folders.

I want everything to be in English but the US American way of displaying the date drives me nuts. It is not logical to me month/day/year. I want day/month/year [22:37] disappearedng, this a W8 install you did and no uefi? [22:37] eer: update-locale should address all of that [22:37] JoeyJoeJo, disk usage analyzer.

Is there a way to make that menu (File, Edit, etc) visible ALL the time, not just on hover? [22:51] jayar, State the issues with the wifi hardware info for help. [22:52] ianmac1: unfortunately no. it;s been brought up as a usability issue a few times but so movement on that. [22:52] ianmac1: the argument is that they want to get people to use the hud instead [22:52] hitsujiTMO, Ah, thank you. Hopefully they'll add an option to turn it on. [22:53] hitsujiTMO, Hmm.. perhaps they should focus on letting the user personalize the desktop they way they want instead of trying to get people used to something.

They use the bootinfo summary to get this stuff fixed, you would make sure to have uefi in a thread to get their attention. [22:56] jayar: Beeing too close to the router heavily impacts signal strength. [22:56] ianmac1: It's part of how secureboot is implemented, but it's been around for a while.

Seriously I had no idea about UEFI lol [22:58] jayar: sorry that should be 11n_disable=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1034740 [22:58] Ubuntu bug 1034740 in Linux "8086:4238 iwlwifi drops connection when using 802.11n" [High,Confirmed] [22:58] disappearedng, If you are getting a grub> I doubt you need to reinstall, but do what suits you. [22:58] What would I have to do to get windows domain computer names to resolve correctly from ubuntu? Usually I need to register with the domain on the windows computers. (I have the username and password for this) [22:59] and install the bootloader on /dev/sda right? [23:00] disappearedng, in a msdos yes, uefi I don't think so. [23:01] Pinkamena_D: https://www.zulius.com/how-to/resolve-windows-netbios-names-from-linux/ === makimac_ is now known as makimac [23:01] disappearedng, Do you have the W8 backed up? [23:02] Good evening all. Has anyone else experienced the problem of their mouse disappearing (becoming invisible) in Unity and LightDM? I'm able to log into an account I have setup with Gnome shell and once this loads the mouse icon appears. This happened this evening after I applied some updates and then did a reboot. [23:03] Kardinal, Have you modified unity, and were you on with another nick yesterday with this issue? [23:03] it always says "ping: unknown host" [23:03] hello... any idea how i can expand the used ext3 partition inside a virtual machine? [23:03] wilee-nilee: actually I don't care much about the w8 [23:03] I only use it for age of empires === map is now known as Guest37537 [23:04] disappearedng, I only use mine for word and grad papers, however that is enough for me to keep it usable, could this be the same basically for you. [23:05] is age of empires something you want in other words [23:05] serious when can steam port age of empires to steam on linux? [23:05] yeah [23:05] I haven't touched windows in a long long time [23:05] hey guys trying to get a TPLINK WDN4800 to see 5ghz networks? everything else working fine... notmuch help on google [23:05] mostly mac as I am a developer, and goobuntu at work [23:06] VlanX: expand virtual drive first, then boot the vm with a live cd and expand the partition with gparted. unless you're using lvm, which you have to expand with the lvm tools. ALWAYS do a backup first. [23:06] Hi Wilee-nilee: Answer : No - no Unity tweaking. No - first time I'm reporting this issue as I've just hit it this evening. BTW - It is Ubuntu 13.10. The Gnome shell is 3.8 [23:06] hitsujiTMO, So I'm assuming there is no way to disable the dash altogether. I don't use it, I find it annoying. I've hidden it but it still pops out on file drag and drop and other times. [23:06] disappearedng: google employee... prepare for fans and the NSA running to you [23:06] Kardinal, Is 3.8 a ppa version? [23:06] it uses ath9k i do believe === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:06] ianmac1: unfortunately i haven't heard of a way. should be possible, but have no idea if its an easy fix or not [23:07] yes, 3.8 PPA version. I have it on my ToDo list to check out Gnome 3.10 in a Virtual Machine build. [23:07] hitsujiTMO, ok, I'll keep researching. Thank you very much for your help. [23:07] im having an issue with the Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 on 12.04, basically it works at some wifi but not others where its gets allot of excessive retries and misc errors' [23:07] Calinou: Ex, now I am running my own startup [23:08] Kardinal, Nice dreams, however ppa's are not supported here and I suspect the root of the missing cursor, you aware of ppa-purge? [23:08] the general search results are to turn off power mgmt and disable N11 which i've done without much help [23:08] wow linux mint is nice [23:09] disappearedng, mint is ubuntu in drag and not supported [23:10] wilee-nilee: That's certainly a unique description of Mint. [23:10] my own, lol [23:10] Correction - mymistake - I should have stated that Gnome-shell was installed via Software Centre, PPA is what is required for 3.10. Gnome is fine with the mouse cursor - it is Unity that seems to have done the vanishing act! [23:11] Kardinal, What releases you running? [23:11] release* [23:12] wilee-nilee: if I reboot and I don't see grub at all (booting straight into ubuntu), is it correct that I assume that 1. Grub is installed, 2. Grub just doesn't present me the selection screen because it couldn't detect the partition for windows? [23:12] 12.04 to 13.10 which is it [23:12] Base install was Ubuntu 13.10 desktop i386. [23:12] Kardinal: the gnome ppas usually aren't compatible with unity as they replace common dependencies [23:13] my audio stopped working [23:13] !sound | dkb0 [23:13] dkb0: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. 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.

Much appreciated. [23:14] no prob [23:14] kardan, Sorry. [23:14] whats the best way to reinstall completely remove and readd the iwlwifi drivers etc. [23:16] glassresistor: It depends how you installed them in the first place [23:16] hitsujiTMO: already went through the troubleshooting === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [23:16] dkb0: where is the sound braking so? [23:17] breaking? [23:17] sorry, i'll be back later [23:17] Rory: using apt-get might have used a ppa trying to back to default settings and see how it looks [23:17] glassresistor: You can use "sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename" [23:17] Can anyone help me get WDN4800 to see 5ghz networks? [23:19] joossee: Can other devices connect to the network at 5ghz? [23:19] yup.. like this laptop im on right now! [23:20] Rory, dualband router, one is named "-2" other isnamed "-5" so i know for sure.. [23:21] joossee: Is it that the -5 SSID doesn't show up, or is it that it *does* show up, but you can't connect to it [23:21] joossee: Also can you just clarify what Ubuntu version you're using, sorry if you already said [23:22] Rory, 12.04 [23:23] joossee: Is it that the -5 SSID doesn't show up, or is it that it *does* show up, but you can't connect to it [23:23] joossee: Also could you please put the output from the command: "lspci -nn" onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and put the resulting URL in this channel? [23:23] Rory, doesnt show up in the list in network manager... [23:25] joossee: OK so as well as "lspci -nn" I would like to see the output from "sudo iwlist scan" [23:25] Rory, http://pastebin.com/pnE6jAXC [23:28] Rory, can I do a sduo iwlist scan | grep Frequency:5 instead? [23:29] joossee: No because that would only show the line that says "Frequency 5" and not the surrounding info. Feel free to censor SSIDs and MAC addresses if you are worried [23:29] Rory, iwscan doesnt return any 5ghz networks, just 2.4 [23:30] Right OK [23:30] Rory, `does kismet pickup 5ghz? perhaps i can see more details...? [23:30] Is there a fast way to remove old kernals from /boot to free some space? [23:31] joossee: By the way, do you know this device supports 5Ghz? Just because it says "wireless n" doesn't mean it does - did you have it working in Windows or something? [23:31] it clearly sez 5ghz on the box? [23:31] tp-link wdn4800 [23:31] its pretty recommended in all the forums and stuff, i researched quite a while i am certain it does 5ghz [23:32] Power1: use uname -r to find your current version. Then "dpkg --list | grep linux-image" to view all installed kernel packages [23:32] Power1: Then "sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic" for each one apart from the one you're using [23:32] Rory, no windows on this server, but if it helpsmy phone and my laptop can both see and connect to 5ghz from same location...? [23:32] (laptop is 5ghz) [23:32] it wont let me remove them with sudo apt-get purge [23:32] i have low gain atennas hooked up to the card as well\ [23:32] Power1: Why not? [23:33] is there a pastebin site? [23:33] Power1: Pastebin the full output please and give us the URL. [23:33] okay [23:33] !paste | Power1 [23:33] Power1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:33] Power1: It might be "sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename" [23:33] so my sound isn't working. my computer recognizes the speakers, and there's nothing wrong with the speakers themselves. i tried rebooting, resetting pulseaudio and checking alsamixer to see if it's muted, and nothing worked. [23:34] anybody able to help? [23:34] Rory, WDN4800 uses ath9k chipset and i disabled hwcrypt in modeprobe since this chipset is known for lagging...? [23:34] usb speakers? [23:34] silveira: regular sound jack, i don't know the technical term [23:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6367520/ [23:35] and im out of space on boot [23:35] joossee: I'm researching currently [23:36] Rory, ty .. ill be at this for a while so do your thing.. [23:36] joossee: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo iwconfig" ? [23:36] yes [23:36] sudo iwconfig [23:36] oops [23:36] Has anybody installed teamspeak? [23:36] !anybody | Serus [23:36] Serus: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [23:37] anyone? [23:37] lol [23:37] dbk0, if speakers plug into a standard audio jack, then the next thing to check would be sound card function, using headphones perhaps [23:37] Rory, http://pastebin.com/zwq1qTdT [23:37] "Who installed teamspeak" doesn't sound right [23:38] !anyone | Serus [23:38] Serus: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [23:38] Serus: Yes, some people in the world have installed teamspeak, to answer your question [23:39] ...okay, let me restate it then [23:39] "so my sound isn't working. my computer recognizes the speakers, and there's nothing wrong with the speakers themselves. i tried rebooting, resetting pulseaudio and checking alsamixer to see if it's muted, and nothing worked." [23:39] dbk0, what chipset of soundcard do you have? [23:40] How do I install teamspeak? It shows up in the software center, but it doesn't give me the option to install it. [23:40] OK joossee here's where I'm at with my google-fu: Your output of "lspci -nn" shows that your device is a "AR93xx" - according to the information here (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k) it could be one of four devices. Three of them support dual-band, but one of them (AR9331) does not - I'm trying to determine if your chip is that one [23:40] silveira: not sure, how do i check? it was working fine for ages before this happened. [23:40] 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] 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... [23:41] dbk0, a "lspci" might tell you what ubuntu sees as your sound chipset [23:41] 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] joossee: Can you pastebin "sudo lspci -vvv" it will be very long [23:41] 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 [23:42] Rory, roger thAT === user is now known as Depp [23:42] 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] 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] when I use the ping command, am I supposed to be putting just the name or smb:\\thename or something else? [23:43] (I have tried both of those) [23:43] Pinkamena_D, have you tried putting entires for the windows machines in your "hosts" file? [23:43] 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] they have dynamic ips [23:43] silveira: hmm, my headphones do work actually. i don't think there's anything wrong with my speakers though. [23:44] anyway, here's this: http://pastebin.com/NkSLNbnD [23:44] chomwitt: When you visit that page, does the URL change? [23:44] 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. === andrea is now known as Guest6558 [23:45] 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] ciao a tutti [23:45] !list [23:45] Guest6558: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [23:45] Rory: no [23:45] dbk0, sometimes it's called "external amp" or something like that [23:46] silveira: where would that be configured? didn't find anything in alsamixer. [23:46] joossee: Says it's been removed [23:47] Rory, let me see again.. i have tomanually type pastebin urls [23:47] joossee: Use http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:47] dbk0, it would be configured somewhere in alsamixer, usually [23:47] Rory, http://pastebin.com/yeimJ9LQ [23:47] Rory, ^^ thats the right one [23:47] Rory, sorry im ircingonphysicallyseperate machine [23:48] dbk0, are these speakers with a builin amp which might not be getting powerright now, or something like that? [23:48] silveira: dammmnnn, i feel incredibly dumb. the speakers became unplugged, that should have been the first thing i checked for. [23:49] thanks for the help [23:49] a ha :) [23:49] dkb0: haha always step 1 check for power :) [23:49] 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] i'll keep that in mind next time [23:49] dkb0: I always laugh when I see that in troubleshooting manuals but apparently it's a good idea :) [23:50] 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] 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/ [23:51] Rory, they only make one model of this card, again its relatively new [23:51] 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 [23:52] joossee: But I can't work out how to make it give anything more specific than "AR93XX" [23:52] Rory, from reading the inf files i believe it is 9330 does thay make sense? [23:52] joossee: lscpi -nn [23:53] joossee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2032357 [23:53] 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] joossee: lscpi -nn | Network that will give the pci and ven ids [23:54] I think my apt-get is broken [23:54] 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] Rory, ok but I mean... are you saying the hardware doesnt physically support 5ghzor just the driver im running? [23:54] is it me, or is VLC's quality worse on linux? [23:55] joossee: I mean the ath9k driver doesn't support it; the hardware does, physically, in theory [23:55] Serus, display drivers on ubuntu are wrose..specially amd [23:55] Serus: vlc just sucks in general [23:55] 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] I use nvidia drivers I think [23:55] hitsujiTMO: do reco something better... [23:55] when i boot into unity, every window leaves trails. looks like the entire desktop is fully broken [23:55] hitsujiTMO, that's not true, recent updates made it allot better. [23:55] Serus: Works fine here [23:56] it works fine here too [23:56] Could be me [23:56] Power1: why do you think apt-get is broken [23:56] 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] 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] Rory, Rory [23:57] hitsujiTMO: has been much better in recent times [23:57] hitsujiTMO: not sure what changed [23:57] Rory, looking at that link you posted... Mine is a PCIe model, which are all marked DB or dual band? [23:57] in fairness i havent used it in a few years but [23:58] balM: have you sync the time with an npt server?: sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com [23:58] 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] 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 [23:59] 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] Howdy all, does anyone in here know how I can kill X with a shortcut key in Ubuntu? [23:59] 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] Serus: So how did you get the nvidia chipset onto a raspi? And do you run Ubuntu on your raspi? [23:59] hitsujiTMO: No I didnt, I tought there is another way to do this like date ..
