[00:14] because after the restarting it didn't change [00:14] wilee-nilee: nomodeset [00:14] The newest kernels have moved the video mode setting into the kernel. So all the programming of the hardware specific clock rates and registers on the video card happen in the kernel rather than in the X driver when the X server starts.. This makes it possible to have high resolution nice looking splash (boot) screens and flicker free transitions from boot splash to login screen. Unfortunately, on some cards this doesnt work [00:14] properly and you end up with a black screen. Adding the nomodeset parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers and use BIOS modes instead until X is loaded. [00:14] Note that this option is sometimes needed for nVidia cards when using the default "nouveau" drivers. Installing proprietary nvidia drivers usually makes this option no longer necessary, so it may not be needed to make this option permanent, just for one boot until you installed the nvidia drivers.

[00:32] do i have to unistal a win . and run just a ubuntu,is it a win going to slow down ubuntu [00:32] wee, 13.10 is baws [00:33] dermag, resize windows with its partitioner, make sure you do not have 4 primary partitions already from ubuntu and install in the unallocated space. [00:34] damn it ubuntu [00:34] ports.ubuntu.com is down [00:34] dermag: Windows cant slow down Ubuntu. [00:34] dermag: Is there a windows version installed? IN that case resize the windows partition (I would probably do that in windows), and install Ubuntu aside of windows. You can then choose at boot, what system you want to boot.

[00:37] minimec, yeah, I didn't do anything too complicated. made my 20GB / and /home, installed grub to /dev/sda2 as normal and no swap partition [00:37] ok tnx for help [00:38] BillyZane but you can do sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade [00:38] i'll try [00:38] dermag, Windows OEM's regularily have 4 primaries and that is a problem so I would confirm that from a ubuntu live cd.

[00:44] i forgot,one more questione,about android ubuntu,somebody say its slow somebody its not,does it work ok on xperi pro mk16i [00:45] MonkeyDust: things like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak3 etc [00:45] vidplace7 yes, if you click further, it's all down [00:45] vidplace7 i guess we'll soon read why [00:45] because its not dualcore phone,but many has instal [00:46] Kamuela, I am unsure of any normal applications to see swap, but if you run "free -m" in a terminal, you will see information about swap [00:46] Kamuela: 'top' in a terminal... --> Swap: [00:46] dermag, You want #ubuntu-Touch for the phone [00:46] #ubuntu-touch [00:47] minimec, Jesus, no wonder I said I needed swap. I'm damned near full use of 4GB. WOW [00:48] is there a configuration file/setting for which kernel packages may be removed automatically by the system during upgrades? [00:48] Kamuela: ubuntu is 'reserving' some RAM, even though it might not be used right now. So the numbers might not be 100% accurate. [00:49] I thought there was such a thing.

How do I wipe my Ubuntu install and install a fresh Ubuntu 12.04.3? [00:52] Kamuela: 'sudo apt-get install htop' ... Much more accurate... ;) [00:53] wagonboi, use the manual install and put it in its place.

What is the best way to install Ubuntu with Cinammon? I would like to avoid installing Unity in the first place [00:56] wagonboi, cinnamon is in the 13.04 repos, not sure if its in the mini to bypass unity, 12.04 is not really set for cinnamon. [00:56] Would installing Ubuntu with Unity, installing cinammon, and then purge unity work? Or is unity too "integrated" into ubuntu? [00:56] If I run /home on a separate drive and want to use a SSD, would I see the most speed increase by putting the OS on the SSD or use the SSD for /home? [00:57] wagonboi, unity is tiny, and cinnamon uses most of it but the compiz plugin that is unity, I would not worry about unity. [00:57] Scunizi: keep both the /home and the OS on the SSD, but symlink all your /home media storage (like Music, Photos, Videos) onto the HDD [00:58] in subfolders [00:58] hello, i just got a new router and it can run an openvpn service... i was able to download configuration files for the vpn service from the router but in ubuntu i'm having trouble setting up the vpn client... do i need to install openvpn package and do all the configuration manually or is there a way to configure it right from the network connections window in unity? [00:58] wagonboi, cinnamon wont run in 12.04 though. [00:59] daftykins: not sure I follow.. keep the media storage on the standard drive with links on the ssd or vise versa [00:59] Ok, I will try 13.04. I hope my drivers work out of the box [00:59] Scunizi: I have my whole sytem on ssd '/' and '/home'. Large media files are on a different disk or the home network. [00:59] Scunizi: store media on the HDD, essentially. [01:00] minimec: daftykins cool. thanks to both of you.

It's $DISPLAY [01:34] FLeiXiuS, http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/launchpad.net yeah [01:34] wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6385442/ this is the complete file [01:34] just ask your question wolfgang [01:34] I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 today, and my internal mic wont work, I have been trying things all over google for hours. [01:34] ghostmediapro, i get :0 [01:34] heyun, thanks hold on. [01:34] you broke it! [01:34] I broke what? [01:35] sorry wolf, just funnin ya, I am a newbee too [01:35] did you check your settings [01:35] Ok then, also Im not that much of a newbie [01:35] And of course I checked my settings === Nisstyre-laptop is now known as nisstyre [01:35] then you know more than me lol [01:36] I know it was a foolish question but ... [01:36] Ubuntu 12.04 wont recognize it, but 13.10 will, but I dont like how buggy 13.10 is [01:36] i c [01:36] i upgraded to 13.10 and had a few problems, video seems slower... === Y is now known as Guest36254 [01:37] but everything seems to work [01:37] Are you using 13.10? [01:37] did you google your issue [01:37] yes I am [01:38] zenadmin@zentyal:~$ firefox & [2] 6612 zenadmin@zentyal:~$ Error: no display specified [01:38] It was slow and freezing for me, and from what I read, a lot of people can hardly use it, and I am more familiar with 12.04 anyway (not that there is much of a difference.) [01:38] did you sudo apt-get update [01:38] kostkon: zenadmin@zentyal:~$ firefox & [2] 6612 zenadmin@zentyal:~$ Error: no display specified [01:38] I did update it, but I really dont care [01:38] Im not starting ANOTHER fresh install of linux [01:39] did you see this http://askubuntu.com/questions/133903/internal-microphone-not-listed-in-sound-settings [01:39] or this http://www.humans-enabled.com/2011/07/help-when-your-microphone-is-not.html [01:40] wilee-nilee, wait for your good news === newbie is now known as Guest35599 [01:41] heyun, So you are just missing the grub bootloader in the mbr, all the easy follow wikis are down at the moment. The easiest way to do this is use this link to boot to xubuntu and install it from the desktop. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ This disc is tiny and can be loaded to a usb, once you get to the desktop just run sudo grub-install /dev/sda && sudo update-grub [01:42] is there anything wrong with the ppa repositories ? [01:43] heyun, That do able for you, I forget the exact mount and install you would do from a live cd to do the same basically. [01:43] I cannot seem to reach the ubuntu mythttv ppas [01:43] lapion: looks like all of launchpad.net is down to me, that's why I came here, to make sure it wasn't just me [01:43] lapion, seems to be some servers down yes. [01:44] wilee-nilee, okay, thank you. I'll have a try [01:44] ok thanks.. [01:44] and just when I am fixing my mythtv server [01:44] lapion: https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus/status/398980619880775680 [01:45] heyun, You mentioned getting a grub menu, I think grub was put on the usb drive you used to install with's mbr, generally it would boot the xubuntu. [01:46] heyun, OOPs hold on I made a mistake here. [01:46] heyun, YOU actually put grub in sda1 the windows partition, hold on. [01:46] None of those worked [01:47] shroomduke| none worked, and again, I was on google for hours and nothing worked, maybe Im missing the driver? [01:48] But if I open additional drivers nothing comes up [01:48] Well, In trying sudo apt-get update again then rebooting [01:48] heyun, Partially wrong, this link will fix the grub in sda1 partition, then you would use the other link to get to the desktop and run that command. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [01:49] Is launchpad down? [01:49] wolfgang__: Do you know, what sound device you have? do 'lspci | grep Audio' in a console. With the result in combinatio with 'ubuntu' you might find some further information. [01:50] heyun, I had looked for that grub in the windows partition but not close enough, have you gotten this additional info? [01:50] hey... i read an article that suggests upgrading rhythmbox to the latest version, using an outside ppa, "ppa:jacob/media". i myself dont plan on doing this, but i was wondering if it is safe, or if it would actually break one's ubuntu install... here is the link: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/8-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html [01:50] I figured that, it sounds like it is down [01:50] what sound card do you have [01:50] !ppa | chaotix [01:50] chaotix: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [01:51] chaotix, PPA's are not supported here is all, so that is the risk, you would want to know how to run the ppa-purge in general. [01:51] wilee-nilee, how can I get it [01:51] minimec| what? [01:52] minimec| What do you want me to do? [01:52] heyun, The second link is for running testdiak on a live cd/usb of xubuntu or ubuntu. [01:53] testdisk [01:53] is anyone seeing issues with archive.canonical.com right now? [01:53] i understand... i was just wondering if upgrading apps that are included in the regular repo with ones from ppa's could break one's installation... it isnt that i am asking for support... is that something that would be better asked in #ubuntu-offtopic? [01:53] wolfgang__: open a terminal an type 'lspci | grep Audio'. That should give you something similar like this "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)". Use that information an search the net in combination with 'ubuntu' or 'mic' 'bug' or so... [01:54] Lumiere: launchpad is down, due to a power outage. https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus/status/398980619880775680 perhaps archive.canonical.com is affected as well? [01:54] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) [01:55] it is? [01:55] wolfgang__: So you say that you have the same card as I do? well mine is working... [01:56] zykotick9: I will check a couple things [01:56] minimec| Do you have ubuntu 12.04? === thej is now known as Guest37041 === Guest37041 is now known as thejdeep [01:57] minimec| Do you have ubuntu 12.04? [01:57] wolfgang__: Well yes on the desktop. But the mic I use is the one of my Logitech webcam. I have the same card in a Lenovo too, on 13.10. Mic is working. I don't even know if I still have a mic to plug directly on the soundcard. [01:58] wilee-nilee, So I should do "testdisk", dose it the same as "test memory" when start form grub [01:58] on 13.10 It works [01:58] for me === silent is now known as Guest23349 [01:58] Well would an external mic maybe for? [01:58] maybe work [01:58] wolfgang__: Well for 13.10 I can confirm that... [01:59] Mine works on 13.10 to, but 12.04 is less buggy [01:59] hello, I'm having issues with flash not scaling when in fullscreen. whatshouldido? [01:59] heyun, No test memory tests the ram testdisk is a app read the link carefully here, the word test is just a random thing. [02:00] wilee-nilee, okay, I know [02:00] a random coincidence [02:00] When will launch pad be back up? [02:01] I need to restart my computer I will be right back [02:01] heyun, It's not real complex, you got the bootscript run that's pretty good, So I have faith in you here ask any questions if needed. ;) [02:03] wolfgang__: I was able to test the mic on my desktop with a mic plugged in the 3.5 jack input of the soundcard on 12.04. Mic is working. [02:04] IM back [02:04] wolfgang__: I was able to test the mic on my desktop with a mic plugged in the 3.5 jack input of the soundcard on 12.04. Mic is working. [02:05] Maybe its because I have an internal mic? [02:05] hello? [02:05] Is there a place where I can get drivers? The additional drivers didnt give me any [02:06] Or maybe a plugin? [02:06] wolfgang__: Looks like some alsa settings problem. I mean these Intel chipsets are well supported in Linux/ubuntu. [02:06] ok [02:06] How do I fix asla? [02:06] chaotix: i sent !ppa for teh warning part. YES, using PPAs can break your system. assume they will, to be safe. [02:06] ok guys i setup a xbmc and all of my computers run some sort of debian or ubuntu as well as the xbmc, now my question is should i really use SMB a windows protocall to stream video? [02:07] minimec| Could I be missing a plugin or driver? [02:07] user__: nfs is the *nix alternative. [02:07] user__: nfs is typically lighter, but smb is cool [02:08] wolfgang__: You don't need additional drivers... Debugging alsa can be tricky, and I am definitely not used to do that. Maybe the people in the #alsa channel can help. Explain your problem including the 'lspci | grep Audio' info. Also explain, that it works in 13.10. [02:08] ok, is nfs setup by default in the repos and is it difficult to configure? [02:08] minimec| ok Thanks [02:08] wolfgang__: no problem [02:09] !nfs | user__ [02:09] user__: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [02:12] is it just me or is the ubuntu website for the us down/messing up [02:13] hello... I installed ubuntu 12.10 desktop... is there a way I can convert it to ubuntu server and strip the gui? [02:13] wilee-nilee, now when I start computer, it doesn't appear grub, instead it direct into windows [02:14] MonkeyDust, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [02:14] I did that... it still boots up to ubuntu desktop [02:14] it only removes 65kb [02:14] hmm [02:15] guess you will have to do dpkg -l | less and start taking note of what you should remove [02:15] or just install a server version altogether, probably faster [02:15] wilee-nilee, I think it may be grub and windows exist in the same sector, how should I do,start ubuntu from live usb and update grub? [02:15] user is that canonical.com [02:15] but good question [02:16] Cannot initiate the connection to archive.canonical.com:80 [02:17] Monkeytoe: Never did that, but this link is a quiet good solution I guess... http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/29/completely-remove-ubuntu-desktop/ [02:17] shroomduke: a lot of the ubuntu sites are down atm [02:18] Monkeytoe: If you removed ubuntu-desktop, you have to reinstall it, before you use the command of the blog post above... [02:18] i c [02:18] minimet, kostcon I followed your advice about locking an application laucher to the Dash Bar. So far and icon for the executable appears in the desktop, but not in the dashbar. [02:18] heyun, Yes you have grub in sda1 the windows partiton, testdisk will remove that. Then you use supergrub to boot into xubuntu to run the grub-install /dev/sda and update-grub then. [02:18] are the lucid repos offline now [02:19] minimec| there is no one on alsa [02:19] bsmith093: lucid desktop is out of support [02:19] wolfgang__, there is, You are being impatient [02:19] IM on there right now === david is now known as Guest58734 [02:19] asking a question and not waiting isnt being patient [02:19] wolfgang__: That's odd. Try tomorrow. You might even find someone here... [02:19] k1l_: yes but are the repos down? [02:19] bsmith093: no [02:20] is ppa.launchpad.net down? it seems there is a connection problem when updating my sources. [02:20] bsmith093, yes it is eol [02:20] guest23349| im sorry if im growing impacient I have been trying to fix this all night. [02:20] !eol | bsmith093 [02:20] bsmith093: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:20] ive been trying to fix my sound issues for past 2 days... [02:20] well i cant seem to connect to archive.canonical.com [02:21] kclemente: launchpad is down, yes. there was a twitter post... [02:21] bsmith093, There are some server problems in the canonical/ubuntu area right now, some link some don't. [02:21] ppa's are down and some websites [02:21] Hiw much longer untell launchpad is back up? [02:21] *how [02:21] HI! Can someone help me find libcec package? [02:22] ahh so its temporary, and the launchpad thing will be fixed, because i just checked and those repos arent connection either [02:22] !find libcec | xubuntu330 [02:22] xubuntu330: Found: libcec-dev, libcec1 [02:22] xubuntu330: apt-cache search can also be handy [02:22] bsmith093, Yeah, it seems you are aware of the server needed though. [02:22] thanks zykotick9. care to share the twitter post link? [02:23] wilee-nilee: umm, that was worded horribly what did you mean? [02:23] kclemente: sorry, i don't have it in my history. i just logged out and back into irssi. search for launchpad status account on twitter. [02:23] bsmith093, archive.canonical.com [02:23] SchrodingersScat: is there a difference between libcec and libcec1? [02:23] wilee-nilee: yes? [02:24] kclemente: https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus/status/398980619880775680 [02:24] bsmith093, Not a server exactly but link, this is a 10.04 issue it is noit supported unless it is just the server anyway. [02:25] xubuntu330: not sure about that one, 'apt-cache show libcec1' gives me, "USB CEC Adaptor communication Library" among other information you might find useful. [02:25] thanks minimec, zykotick9 [02:25] oh thats what you meant, yes i'm running lucid desktop, due to long running downloads and certain scripts ive been running for several months now, when they finish i'll switch to 64 bit mint+mate [02:26] SchrodingersScat: I installed libcec1 and the package plexhometheater is still asking me for libcec [02:26] My internal mic Is not working in ubuntu 12.04 and from what I was told I might need to debug alsa because nothing on google helped My output of lspci | grep Audio: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) [02:27] SchrodingersScat: tried compiling from source but like most of the time it didn't worked ;) [02:28] xubuntu330: like most of the time? === Revi_Bed is now known as Revi [02:29] bsmith093, On occasion we see people running the eol for various legitimate reasons, but we are limited to what canonical does with the repos is all, as for where they are at. [02:30] can anyone recommend a simple to use video editor for new ubuntu user [02:30] SchrodingersScat: well the far I remember I never been able to compile anything ahah.. anyway the thing is I need plexhometheater.. Ive been able to install it under xubuntu 12.04 but now I am using ubuntu gnome 13.10 and I can't install it because of libcec that is missing from the repos [02:31] i was using videopad on windows if that makes it any easier in suggesting an alternative [02:31] xubuntu330: ah, ok, I was about to try in xubuntu 13.04. [02:32] cazalla: maybe ask in #ubuntu-studio too [02:32] I have a pc, and a laptop both running 12.04 LTS, the PC doesn't have wifi, I want to hook the two together via cat5, and use the laptop's wifi to get the pc online... any help? [02:32] cazalla: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5911/video-editing-software-options [02:32] heyun, So I'm checking that you understand that the grub bootloader is in the windows partition that is wrong and why you see a grub boot menu. It has to be removed, and put into the mbr which is sda, then you would update-grub. [02:32] hitsujiTMO: thanks, will do [02:33] SchrodingersScat: this is really annoying.. why can't I get this package when searching on google if it is available for the 12.04 version? [02:33] cazalla: I rarely do video editing. I noramlly use openshot. [02:33] minimec: thanks [02:33] hi everyone [02:33] that program looks simple enough, just need a time line type editor [02:33] i'll give that a go [02:33] PiTiVi that is [02:33] get the torch it's waxhead_ [02:34] quick question.. I want to install the nagios-plugin-contrib package onto a precise server however it's not included [02:34] I have a pc, and a laptop both running 12.04 LTS, the PC doesn't have wifi, I want to hook the two together via cat5, and use the laptop's wifi to get the pc online... any help? [02:34] !ics | billard [02:34] billard: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [02:34] what do I set up to pick up this package ? http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/quantal/universe/base/nagios-plugins-contrib [02:35] xubuntu330: I only see the server on their site, were you using the github? [02:35] Launchpad is back up [02:35] thanks zykotick9, looking at it now [02:35] SchrodingersScat: to get the source you mean ? [02:36] well, Im going to try to update again and see if it works [02:36] waxhead_, There are some server problems going on right now, if you are just trying to grab the debs. [02:37] Anybody know how to get scroll bars with up or down aarows? [02:37] wilee-nilee, do you mean to just down load them and install 'locally' ? [02:37] wilee-nilee, I was thinking it would be a case of adding in the repository to sources.lst but wasn't sure what repo to add. === GZA-AFK is now known as GZA-Genius [02:38] waxhead_: do NOT add a second ubuntu repo, for a different release! [02:39] waxhead_, That link is quantal, I see nagios-plugins in synaptic in my precise setup. I'm not familiar with what this is or does, so help from others is more appropriate. [02:39] zykotick9, :) Thanks for the warning... [02:39] Launchpad.net is back up, but when I try to update it still cant connect to the repo. [02:40] wilee-nilee, nagios-plugins is fine, but it doesn't include the check_lm_sensors check that's in naigos-plugins-contrib [02:40] SchrodingersScat: is it possible that my problems come from the server problems tonight ? [02:40] wilee-nilee, But I still not very clearly how I should do? [02:40] wolfgang__: not all the servers are back up yet i'd guess [02:41] Ok, Ill wait a little longer [02:41] what threw me was it's availabe on mythbuntu, but not on the ubuntu server... took me a while to figure out the differences [02:41] oh wow just realized you can click the up and down in the scrollbars [02:42] xubuntu330: not sure what you mean. [02:42] wilee-nilee, how to boot xubuntu, make a live usb super grub? [02:42] what's up with so many ubuntu/canonical web sites being down? DoS? [02:43] itsme23662: power outage [02:43] Now its down for maintenance. [02:43] oh :/ good timing lol [02:44] itsme23662: it would be pretty difficult to ddos an entire datacentre :P [02:44] heyun, Have you run the testdisk clean? [02:44] hitsujiTMO: Thanks, I hope they can get launchpad downloads working again soon [02:44] maybe I need to use pinning? [02:45] wilee-nilee, yes, and now when start computer, it directly boot windows, can't enter into grub [02:46] heyun: when the servers are back up give https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair a try [02:46] turns out xbmc works with ssh and sftp which i already had setup :) [02:46] user__: they're awful for streaming tho [02:46] heyun, Cool so windows boots, yer half way there excellent. So yeah down load the tiny supergrub iso and load it to a usb or disc and use it to boot xubuntu, and when there jsut run sudo grub-install /dev/sda && sudo update-grub and yo will be all set. [02:47] hitsujiTMO, im testing it out with my music library on my laptop, it seems to be working ok, no lag [02:48] heyun, supergrub is kinda a nice tool to have to boot to a OS without the correct bootloader being in the mbr. [02:48] user__: there's a massive overhead for both, and good luck when it comes to skipping back and forth in a movie [02:49] hello [02:49] hitsujiTMO, well, i looked into nfs and about half way thro reading how to set it up i thought it was too much configureing [02:49] wondering if someone can help me do simple text replacement ("aliases"?) in the terminal [02:49] so I just installed ubuntu server [02:50] is there any way to get a "desktop" started? :D [02:50] has anyone here used ADHD ? [02:50] user__: its 1 file you need to edit (/etc/exports) and some chmoding/chowning of the parent dirs. [02:50] It's based off ubuntu 12.04 Active Defense Harbinger Distribution (ADHD) [02:51] kwitt, install ubuntu-desktop? === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [02:51] no but everyone here has adhd lol [02:51] hi all - I just tried to run apt-get update on a 10.10 maverick machine and it spews errors [02:51] is there no way to even update at all ?

[02:54] .. people use Net-Attached Storage things these days , re NFS [02:55] ok hitsujiTMO can you kinda walk me thro the simple way lol [02:55] user__: and for a normal ubuntu install, you just need nfs-common installed and you can mount with mount or in fstab [02:55] user__: 2 secs [02:55] hitsujiTMO, the folder i want is /home/user/Music [02:56] Can someone tell me where Dynagen installs at when i use apt-get? [02:56] hitsujiTMO, ok it says nfs is newest version [02:57] user__: the smartest thing to do is setup a specific nfs root. i just go with /home/nfs (i'm never going to be creating a user called nfs ) [02:57] What does that mean? plexhometheater : Depends: libcec (>= 1.7) but it is not installable [02:58] user__: so: mkdir /home/nfs === GZA-Genius is now known as GZA-AFK [02:58] user__: so: sudo mkdir /home/nfs [02:58] vAd0r: you could try "dpkg -S dynagen" assuming dynagen is the actual package name... to list the files install locations [02:58] hitsujiTMO, okey i made the dir [02:59] Are repos servers still haven outage ? [02:59] update on a few issues: I had an issue where I would lose wi-fi connectivity after returning from hibernate and I also had an issue where my laptop was hanging on restart. Both have been resolved after changing my graphics drivers. [02:59] acecabana: i'm curious, from what to what?

[03:13] hitsujiTMO, did i do something wrong? [03:13] zykotick9: could be. this just ensures all access gets squashed to his user just in case. [03:14] user__: no. [03:14] so it my isp then > [03:15] hitsujiTMO: mmmm, interesting. i've never bothered with any of that "/srv/tv/ 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)" is all i use. i've used insecure to get OSX to connect, but other then that never had a reason for it either. user__ [03:17] can anybody here help me with playing audio on my laptop? [03:17] zykotick9: i use all_squash for non ldap as the same server is typically a samba server too. both shares can be used by a number of different users so i squash all to the same account for both nfs and samba [03:17] !anyone [03:17] A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[03:27] user__: on the server. just testing the mount [03:27] hitsujiTMO, ok ok lol [03:28] apt-get dist-upgrade [03:28] user__: i do see where the problem might be tho. nfs-server is resolving the symlink itself, instead of just following it [03:28] hitsujiTMO, mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 1.1.1.77:/music [03:29] user__: sweet. try: mkdir ~/ma_muzaac; sudo mount -t nfs 1.1.1.77:/home/user/Music ~/ma_muzaac [03:30] is anyone else having trouble updating the launchpad ppa repo?

[03:36] ppa.launchpad.net is down just when I needed something [03:37] Lol same here Karate [03:37] Same here. :P [03:37] same here [03:37] user__: sweet so you didn't stray from what i gave you. get rid of the first share. and swap /home/nfs/music for /home/user/Music [03:38] anyone? p4-hardware-friendly livecd for grandma?

We're working to get things back up" haha [03:38] how much ram instantp10neer [03:38] 256 [03:38] not even lubuntu will run on that :P [03:38] or barely if you use alt cd [03:39] user__: also swap nohode for fsid=0 [03:39] instantp10neer, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgGbZfR6Vec&list=TLuhvAM6JjgTLdmt979tgCjY7UBFkdJQOG other videos where she tries out different distros [03:39] its a pretty good idea of what a normal person might act like on their first time using a new OS [03:39] instantp10neer: First... I would go for lubuntu or xubuntu. But your will have a problem, because your p4 1.5 doesn't support the kernel of the live CD, because you have a NON pae CPU. Easiest way is to install 10.04 (yes 10.04), and then do the upgrade to 12.04 [03:39] . [03:40] for you users who have no links as they are down by the great Paul Robesen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EJSkJlh_fg [03:40] hitsujiTMO, ok now i should restart the server [03:40] I thought pentium 4 had pae [03:40] user__: so it should read: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6385708/ [03:40] user__: yup restart: sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart [03:40] PAE came in with Pentium Pro [03:41] 10.04 is now consensus with #Linux [03:41] is there another way to update openssl than using launchpad? [03:41] fudus2: ie at least 14 years ago [03:41] instantp10neer: lubuntu should be ok for a grandma. but i would try and update the ram to 512 if you can find some sticks [03:42] esde: you could compile it yourself. but i'd rather wait for launchpad to be up and running agian [03:42] compatibility issues? [03:42] esde: config would be the main issue [03:42] ah ok, ty [03:43] esde thanks for the vid, I will likely stick with 10 [03:43] user__: now once you've restarted we'll test again [03:43] instantp10neer: Forget what I said. THe P4 has pae. My Pentium M did not ;) [03:43] Any reason not to go 10.04.4? [03:43] user__: showmount -e 1.1.1.77 [03:44] instantp10neer: because its EOL [03:44] instantp10neer: unsupported [03:44] instantp10neer, er no support and no repos for the desktop.

[03:50] BuntuLover: "engineers"? does it really take that many smart people to flip a switch? :P [03:50] Yes. :3 [03:50] Its down when iI really needed something bad [03:50] I [03:50] <^Phantom^> beep beep [03:51] gartral: they need to ensure the integrity of the data and that no damage was done during the outage [03:51] olduser: any luck with xbmc? [03:52] always nice to see the armchair expert comments [03:52] wilee-nilee: :) [03:52] Gartral that is true, they do need to ensure the data is unaffected. [03:52] hitsujiTMO, no i click on add source i go down to where i see the ip of the server when i click on it it dose nothing [03:52] hitsujiTMO: you mean to tell me they don't have UPSes on the file servers so they can shut down cleanly? I don't think cononical is that dumb.. === christopher is now known as Guest33171 [03:52] hitsujiTMO, not yours of course. ;) === Guest33171 is now known as topper4125 [03:52] hitsujiTMO, but at least it shows up lol [03:53] I am attempting the guide "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto#Creating_your_NFS_installation".

[03:58] hitsujiTMO, lol... fair enough.. [03:58] hitsujiTMO, sorry im new to this im still figureing out xbmc [03:59] quick question, Is xbmc soemthing related to xbox retrieving data from computers? [03:59] olduser: you could try being more verbose about your mount and mount 1.1.1.77:/home/user/Music [03:59] waxhead_: so what seems to be the problem ? [04:00] Guest23349: nope [04:00] kostkon, ok [04:00] a general question of how long it can take for a IP address change to be reflected with afraid's services [04:00] hitsujiTMO, hold on im sshing into the xbmc [04:01] Guest23349, its kind of like mythbuntu, with out all the extra work [04:01] waxhead_: depends on the TTL for the DNS manager [04:01] Guest23349: xbmc = XBox Media Center .... its an app that begun on the original XBox as XBox Media Player and became the defunct standard for media player design as it grew [04:01] guest23349: Nope.. afaik XBMC has no connection to Microsoft. [04:01] :P [04:01] somsip, hmmm good point... [04:01] somsip, bit rusty on this stuff.. I'll go check [04:02] I know it doesnt have connection to microsucks.. But i thought it was related to xbox as it provides data from pc to xbox for music videos ..etc [04:02] Guest23349: it began as homebrew software for a modded xbox [04:03] hmmm.. an hour I gather by the SOA... [04:04] waxhead_: so you should be looking at an hour at the latest, depending if afraid.org cache entries normally [04:04] waxhead_: shouldn't take that long. its a 5min TTL [04:05] waxhead_: how are you updating your address? [04:05] hitsujiTMO, where did you see it was a 5min ttl? [04:05] hitsujiTMO, it's updated from the adsl router [04:05] it's resolving to the right IP now [04:05] so it's fairly quick... [04:05] hitsujiTMO, it is working i owe you one [04:07] SASL: added ubuntu: [PLAIN] maujhsn * [04:07] waxhead_: I can't remember, it was during the initial setup i spotted that. With a paid acocunt you can specify a shorter TTL, but there's no need. if its taking longer that 5mins to change IPs for you then it's your DNS ignoring short TTLs [04:07] olduser: sweet [04:07] SASL: added audacity: [PLAIN] maujhsn * [04:07] hitsujiTMO, NP.. thanks === silent is now known as Guest15540 [04:08] SASL: added ffmpeg: [PLAIN] maujhsn * [04:10] SASL: added pulseaudio: [PLAIN] maujhsn * [04:10] morning to all [04:11] lotuspsychje: morning lotuspsychje [04:11] hitsujiTMO: hello mate :p [04:11] lotuspsychje: for once, this is me up early and not late :P [04:12] SASL: added kdenlive: [PLAIN] maujhsn * [04:12] Why do people hate Unity so much?

[04:14] mrafiq_: or ##programming [04:14] sabazyo, greetings [04:14] The ad-lens wasn't really appealing either... and in the world of netbooks, and small screen laptops, the vertical bar is a lot of wasted screen real estate.

[04:41] acecabana, `man dd` [04:41] BuntuLover, thanks [04:41] siberiannerd: wha'ts dd [04:41] !dd | acecabana [04:41] hitsujiTMO, yes but I can't pastee it all, since that was my only computer [04:42] i asked on another channel and someone said a bra size [04:42] !t dd [04:42] SiberianNerd: No problem. There is a twitter feed to check the status(: [04:42] acecabana: man dd [04:42] psryn: can you take a photo? and do you have a live cd handy? [04:42] I have a livecd, yes [04:42] psryn: also as siberiannerd suggested, have to tried an older kernel? [04:42] @launchpadstatus on twitter. [04:43] yes [04:43] psryn, other kernel versions behave the same? can i you choose some previous kernel version in that first boot menu? [04:43] they all behave the same? [04:43] I chose two of the older ones, but one froze up annd the. other gave the samme masg [04:44] psryn: boot the live cd [04:44] *message [04:44] ok [04:44] Is Ubuntu resource intensive? [04:44] * topper4125 wonders if 'dd' is supposed to be 'do'? [04:44] JordanJ2: compared to what [04:44] Jordan: I'm running Ubuntu on 1gb of Ram [04:44] Intel Atom Processor [04:44] N455 [04:44] reisio, Windows [04:45] What version, BuntuLover? [04:45] topper4125: it's an actual command, dd, be careful with it [04:45] JordanJ2: nope, not compared to Windows [04:45] JordanJ2: its a little lighter than windows [04:45] Ubuntu 12.04 [04:45] Higher? [04:46] So MORE resource intensive? [04:46] psryn, since when it started? can you at least approximately draw imaginary timeline of this disaster? ) [04:46] JordanJ2: light-er, he said [04:46] Haven't tried it with a newer version. [04:46] siberrianerd, today [04:46] JordanJ2: lighter = less resource intensive [04:46] But it runs just fine with my little Lenovo S100 [04:46] *facepalm* [04:46] Yes I know, read that wrong [04:46] psryn, any updates? [04:46] JordanJ2, I'm running Ubuntu on a Lenovo IdeaPad S100 [04:47] like maybe you was updating the system [04:47] am uploading photograph [04:47] So not durasticlly lighter? [04:47] ^.^ [04:47] reisio, just checked it in man... never used it before... and ya... looks like its something you want to double check you have your command typed out perfectly with it. [04:47] I'm running Ubuntu on a Asus K45VM notebook [04:47] dd is a command where if you mess it up it's fairly easy to wipe your hard drive [04:47] JordanJ2 Only way to know is to run Ubuntu off a flash drive [04:48] topper4125: yes indeed [04:48] JordanJ2: i wouldn't say drastically but, it is noticeably less cpu and ram intensive. I would say that unity is a bit more gpu intensive tho [04:48] ok so one time i spent a lot of time compileing drivers for a usb wireless adapter, i had to recompile the whole kernel from my understanding, instead if doing that whole prossess again can i just move the kernel from one box to another [04:48] topper4125: the value of the of= bit, really [04:48] gpu means? [04:48] graphis processing unit [04:48] Graphical Processing Unit [04:48] ._. [04:48] graphics* [04:48] Will that make a difference while playing games? [04:49] JordanJ2: no [04:49] JordanJ2: will what? [04:49] gpu = go play urban terror ;) [04:49] olduser, look at "dkms" also and yeah if arch is the same and you have all necessary modules [04:49] JordanJ2: default Ubuntu uses a hardware accelerated window manager [04:49] JordanJ2: so does default Windows [04:49] the comparison is void [04:49] Can you use wine to install Call of duty modern warfare 2? It's a steam game [04:50] siberiannerd, yeah its the same exact hardware [04:50] Ok [04:50] Adam_ Check the wineHQ for compatibility status. [04:50] adam_: yes [04:50] adam_: install yes, play .... i doubt it [04:50] olduser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DKMS this could be superb solution [04:51] I would say that on an older computer it takes less work to make ubuntu perform at an acceptable level than Windows 7 does. I'd place Windows 8 as somewhere between the two, but don't have as much experience. [04:51] I successfully played Portal 2. No lags. Posted like it did on Windows on the same machine [04:51] I've seen a few reviews comparing games run with a Unity DE, and again with XFCE.... some... (only some) of the games ran faster with xfce... the ones that did though were pretty graphic intensive. [04:51] hello [04:51] topper4125: entirely possible [04:51] Played [04:51] pnorman: loose windows once and for good and install ubuntu on full hd [04:51] +1 [04:52] olduser: the other option is to put the kernel on hold so it doesn't get updated. [04:52] hi ubuntu, [04:52] * topper4125 stopped using win after XP [04:52] olduser: that's something you'd do on a non mission critical system tho :P [04:52] olduser, it will recompile your module for newer version of kernels which arrive with updates, all you will need to do is to keep an eye on if the driver is included in newer kernel or not and make a decision if you will continue to use yours [04:52] topper4125: same here [04:52] using ubuntu 10.04 LTS, this was intended to automagically bring nginx up on boot: http://pastebin.com/xrihJsZv ; however, upon reboot, nginx fails to start; no errors on boot screen. Any ideas what I should be looking at? [04:53] there are some step-by-step howtos i bet on how to achieve that with given source of the driver ;) [04:53] SDr. Using Ubuntu 12.04 here [04:53] I'm on 13.10 [04:53] well i went thro all of this on my old harddrive and now i have a new harddrive [04:53] lotuspsychje: I thought about for someone's Athelon 64-based netbook last week, but opted against it [04:54] Do you guys run vms to play games in windows [04:54] I play the game of life [04:54] more realistic [04:54] SDr: is it actually calling nginx on boot? [04:54] hitsujiTMO, any way I can figure that out? [04:54] Okay but you can't play the game of life. [04:54] It's zero players. [04:54] Can Buntu run World of Tanks? [04:54] I don't even have wine installed... lolz... I do use DOSBox though... for BardsTale [04:55] hitsujiTMO, there's nothing on Lish [04:55] Wine doesn't work or is hard to configure for some 3d games.

[05:03] lol [05:04] i'm singing, sorry [05:04] got carried away [05:04] so I need to run php as fastcgi for nginx integration.. i think the package i want is php-fpm can anyone tell me if thats right? [05:04] there's a nice channel called #ubuntu-offtopic where you can chitchat all night funny [05:04] topper4125, gotta get your heavy metals somehow. [05:05] Slade-: that's right [05:05] Slade-: yes [05:05] reisio: any idea where i set the socket/listen? [05:05] did you guys see the image? [05:05] thanks, i'll use it [05:05] Slade-: that's configurable [05:05] reisio: yea i cant figure out where [05:06] Slade-: if its same machine then use a unix socket in /tmp doing it in run requires a bit if tweaking [05:06] Slade-: it'll be in a config file provided by the php package [05:06] Slade-: dpkg -L php-fpm | grep etc [05:06] yea i see the config files. i just dont see em in there. course they're so long i may be going blind [05:07] Slade-: it's php-fpm.conf on this non-Ubuntu system I have [05:07] grep for 'listen' [05:07] oh wait. i installed php5-fpm not php-fpm [05:07] if i need to download the kernel headers, how will i know what one i need? [05:07] Non ubuntu? What do you run reisio? [05:07] Slade-: should be in sites-enabled [05:08] BuntuLover: something else [05:08] hitsujiTMO: that'd be for nginx wouldnt it? [05:08] Slade-: no i think php-fpm has a similar folder [05:08] hitsujiTMO, done that, /tmp/zomg wasn't created [05:08] Reisio: Running Ubuntu 12.04 here [05:08] LTS [05:08] SDr, then its an issue with tht [05:08] BuntuLover: farout [05:08] SDr: then its an issue with that conf. [05:09] oh whats the difference between the php5-fpm and php-fpm package? [05:09] why don't I have a link to my sound card in settings? [05:09] Slade-: php5-fpm = php5 engine. php-fpm = default engine... which is php5 [05:09] heh [05:09] Slade-: they should be the same thing [05:09] err ok [05:10] Slade-: don't have php-fpm installed atm, so can you humour me and: ls -l /etc/php5 [05:11] hitsujiTMO: i'll keep peeking i think i see what you mean :) [05:11] hitsujiTMO, what's weird, is even after running initctl reload-configuration , initctl list fails to show nginx [05:11] hitsujiTMO, and similarly, status nginx gives status: Unknown job: nginx === Plas is now known as Plasmastar === Devels_ is now known as Devels === Borborygmi is now known as Casmo === Synapsis is now known as Inoperable === Granis` is now known as Granis === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [05:12] SDr: you have that saved as /etc/init/nginx.conf ? [05:12] wow a lot of disconnection [05:12] hitsujiTMO, yes [05:13] hitsujiTMO: i think its in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d [05:13] Slade-: ahh yeah thats the one.... there should be a default pool in there [05:14] uses its own php.ini and everything, very weird [05:14] thanks :) [05:14] Slade-: you should have a different pool for each set of apps so if a pool crashes, it doens't take everything else down [05:14] hitsujiTMO, initctl list | grep filesystem is also empty. could there be a dependency issue?

[05:16] i like that it auto installs :P [05:16] err auto installs the startup [05:16] Slade-: yes, php-fpm is the preffered engine [05:17] hi all. running 10.04 here and added a ppa no problem however an apt-get update cant connect to the ppa, all other repos have no issues. anyone else experiencing this?

[05:51] nexus4: that can be hard to get rid of, since a lot of it can be things a person actually accidentally voluntarily installed [05:51] nexus4: that and since Windows has no package manager [05:51] cyruscloud, xset command is for setting user preferences to x with out opening .conf files... just have to 'wait and see' if it does the fix.

When I turn the display on, it defaults to the correct 1920x1080 resolution, but it causes a problem with XBMC which is configured to launch on startup. Is there a way I can force the resolution to always be 1920x1080? [06:08] hitsujiTMO, relevant lines from nginx's errorl.log: http://pastebin.com/rged4ryQ [06:08] could it be a problem with lightdm Goonbridge? Try this maybe: http://askubuntu.com/questions/73804/wrong-login-screen-resolution [06:08] SDr: it may not be actually terminating. might be forking and the parent process is terminating [06:08] Goonbridge: copy your displays EDID info to a file, and load it as a default for X [06:09] so, 2 problems here: /var/run/nginx.pid wtf, and no ipv6 [06:09] oldwzd: can you please advise me how to do that? === Guest35599 is now known as hellyeah [06:11] topper4125: I'm logging in automatically on this system - wouldn't that bypass lightdm? [06:14] Does anyone know how to configure exchange server in thunderbird [06:14] Goonbridge, it *should* I remember back in the 'ol Grub2 days I had a similar issue... and auto-logged in as well. [06:14] SDr, http://serverfault.com/questions/421460/nginx-failed-to-start-cannot-assign-requested-address maybe this is the case? [06:14] why is it a bad idea to open things on a root account? [06:15] I think it was acutally the "bootscreen" that messed everything up... had to remove it completely [06:16] D4rkness, ubuntu is not designed to use a root account, permissions basically and exposure, there are OS that you can. [06:16] D4rkness, when something runs from-under root it has all necessary rights and permissions to break the system completely if behaves in misconfigured or evil way (exploitation) [06:16] D4rkness, the reason it is so easy for malicious programs to do things to 'commercial' Operating systems is because most/all users give them selves 'super-user' status which opens up the whole system to software the OS 'thinks' you want to run [06:16] nothing stops you from using root account [06:16] is there an easy way to generate a generic xorg.conf [06:17] SDr: hmm, having trouble getting nginx to see the PID, gonna try an intermediate script [06:18] samba does not work [06:18] Goonbridge, http://askubuntu.com/questions/217758/how-to-make-an-xorg-conf-file scroll down to third answer for step-by-step [06:18] what the hell [06:19] oh ok now I understand I just want to add the root account is the only account that runs stably on my hp compaq on other accounts the load spikes to 1.00 then locks up tried clearing the cache to no avail i needed root access now im stuck on this root account until i can find a way to keep my other account stable [06:19] Goonbridge: Generic? You don't need a generic one. "Generic" settings are auto-applied. [06:19] apparently i can't get samba to work [06:19] D4rkness, You have set it up wrong with that scenario. [06:19] hei can someone help me with accessing a webdav on ubuntu [06:19] i get "not a webdav enabled share" from nautilus [06:19] i tried typing "samba" in terminal, it says i don't have it installed [06:20] D4rkness, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo contains info on 'how to enable root' and a *LOT* of info on why you shouldn't... [06:20] BillyZane: Then install it. [06:20] why would i not have it installed [06:20] i upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 and now my computer is broken [06:20] why would i not have samba installed [06:21] ill take a look at that thanks for your support you two [06:21] for the same reason I don't have it installed I didn't type in sudo apt-get install samba4 [06:21] sorry if i sound angry, but this is really frustrating [06:21] i don't understand why i would need to do that. i've been using it now since i installed ubuntu, it should be on my PC [06:22] why on earth would i not have it, did the 13.10 upgrade delete it? did it get removed from the path? [06:23] SDr: no luck here. I assume this is why nginx by default is on the old sysv init [06:23] is there a bug in the 13.10 upgrade that causes samba to stop working or be deleted? [06:23] I've seen a few reports about 13.10 doing this (not just with samba... with other software) [06:23] BillyZane, Did you use a ppa to install it per-chance, rather than the repos? [06:23] wilee-nilee, i got a big "hey... 13.10 upgrade is ready" sign, i click, "sure.. install" the install freezes, the new kernel does not work at all [06:23] hmmm [06:23] now my system is running 13.10 with the older kernel [06:24] * topper4125 only runs LTS to LTS... for a reason [06:25] cutting edge tends to be painful, bleeding edge is just messy. [06:25] installing samba4 for the first time [06:25] BillyZane, We see some problems here, I suspect people tweak there setup a bit past an easy upgrade, personally I always just fresh install, with a package list and the extra repos and keys, takes about 1/4 the time and is clean. [06:25] honestly i am on a different distro though next time i upgrade to ubuntu or a minty (~cough~) OS ..... i am going to go with one of the LTS releases [06:25] i was wondering which option i should take... there's domain controller, member, standalone, none. i just want to read/write files on my local network [06:26] true @ topper [06:26] "bleeding edge" is not the best at times [06:26] I LET others "beta test" the bleeding edge releases [06:26] lol [06:26] LTS just makes more sense, I upgraded to 13.10 and things broke too, like the keyboard layout switching [06:26] me to xmetal [06:26] So yeah... [06:26] wilee-nilee, hmm.. i've installed a lot of programs outside of /home, i'm not sure how you have your setup. this was my first install of any linux distro outside of a virtualbox [06:27] im running trusty lol i have not ran into any problems yet [06:27] i think i will stay with LTS from now on as well [06:27] with my setup i havn't meet any problems with 13.04 while with older releases, more stable ones, i had faced very uncomfortable issues [06:27] BillyZane, sounds like a tweaked setup, mine is a little unusual that all my extra stuff is mainly on externals and the computer is just multiple OS's. [06:27] it's not that straight forward as you tell, guys [06:28] wilee-nilee, it's definitely not clean. i have a lot of junk on here because it's my first install. kubuntu for instance which i never use [06:28] also, do you guys know which option i should pick when installing samba4? [06:28] i got domain controller, member, standalone, none [06:28] My LTS on on an old tired 20 Gig IDE, /home is on a 1TB Sata... no issues so far. [06:29] i'm just trying to read/write files from a windows box [06:29] i am not against "major upgrades" via updater .. though there is a reason that i "skip a version or two" and when i do preform a major OS (version #) upgrade ... i do a fresh install [06:29] bleeding edge.. DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04 [06:29] olduser: just came out or what? [06:29] BillyZane, There is a website for lists on whole desktop meta packages for removal. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ towards the bottom left panel. [06:29] preform [06:30] er [06:30] isnt it due in april? [06:30] still it's not windows where you need to wait for second service pack, it's not like that with major upgrades [06:30] what does the future of ubuntu hold? Where is the development heading? [06:30] dang fingers ... lol [06:30] fishduck, no its not out yet its dev version [06:30] hola [06:30] hitsujiTMO, okay. in that case: how can I set a script in init.d to start *AFTER* ipv6 init? [06:31] v [06:31] #cornudos [06:31] #madrid [06:31] jc_: Stop this. [06:31] como cambio de canal [06:31] sometimes (no matter the distro or if its Linux or MS....) its best to have a newest BUT a "if it ain't broke ... " mentality [06:31] (just my view) [06:32] newest = most updated that is stable with your system [06:32] is what i meant [06:32] slackware :3 [06:32] mine in certainly broke ahhaha [06:33] SDr: that i don't think is possible. unless you get it to fork a while sleep cycle that tests for the init of ipv6 === ncsaba is now known as NCsaba [06:34] When i think stability Debian comes to mind (And DSL for some odd reason) [06:34] not anymore to my mind [06:35] load spikes to 100 and my framerate drops to 2fps with heavy lag my cache appears full my swap isnt being used and my internet transfer is normal there is no intel duo core T7900 support in ubuntu 12.04 could this be the cause???

[06:43] Alright will do, Thanks for taking the time to help me out Topper4125 and siberiannerd [06:44] Anonynimity, could you please expand it like how does it look like, not everyone has icq, freenode also has rules so be careful and wise [06:44] when I type /whois nick I get > [A_Stupid_Guy] (A_Stupid_Guy@472018.922E5E.799BCD.157A2C [06:45] instead of getting [A_Stupid_Guy] (A_Stupid_Guy@472018.922E5E.799BCD.157A2C I would like to get the IP address === root is now known as Guest80457 [06:45] I'm just wondering if this can be done.

[06:47] but still can be random [06:47] 1) Just for testing. 2) yes, account-dependent. [06:48] testing meaning hacking into? [06:48] if it were random, it wouldn't be the same thing when an user signs on again though... [06:48] or spying? [06:48] no just testing. [06:48] Anonynimity, have you read this? http://www.donkboy.com/html/vol5.htm#icq [06:48] hitsujiTMO, follow-up: I ditched this branch of the possibility-tree, reset the init.d script, and updated the config file to bind to [::] ,such that it doesn't need the actual address [06:48] I have another computer that's connected right now, and I want to see if I can do this to my own computer. [06:48] hitsujiTMO, this solved the problem for now until the time multiple IPs will be concerned [06:48] I'm not using ICQ, I'm using xchat. [06:48] some guys pay well for other guys location =) [06:49] not me... just looking to do this for myself. [06:49] icq is on the stage in such cases often lol [06:49] hitsujiTMO, many many thanks for bearing with me, I appreciate the effort [06:49] hmm... why was I thinking you were asking about icq??? [06:49] SDr: np [06:50] because it's part of the ICQ's server software [06:50] Anonynimity: this is the Ubuntu support channel. Your asking this question in the wrong place [06:50] hitsujiTMO, I had asked the question, and siberiannerd was asking me what I was trying to achieve. I replied. [06:51] anyone else having more than one ppa come back with bad signatures all of a sudden? seems odd that it is happening to three of my repos out of nowhere [06:51] i can't still figure out what are you trying to achieve [06:51] they were all fine this morning [06:51] Anonynimity: still, this is an off topic discussion and shold be moved elsewhere [06:52] theleft: launchpad went down a while ago. might be a bit before its back to 100% [06:52] that explains it, thank you hitsujiTMO! [06:55] i wonder, does hostname need to be set in /etc/hostname for postfix to work? [06:56] HiddenDjinn: hostname needs to be set in /etc/hostname for a lot of things to work. (hostname != fqdn tho) [06:57] hitsujiTMO, oh, it's set...but i'm trying to configure this mail server to serve several domains at once [06:57] HiddenDjinn: if you want to specify fqdns, they go in /etc/hosts [06:58] hitsujiTMO, one per line or...? [06:58] HiddenDjinn: one or more lines per ip, an ip can have multiple domains [06:59] hitsujiTMO, thanks [07:00] HiddenDjinn: afaik, you should not need to specify fqdns in the hosts file, but it wouldn't hurt none the less [07:00] how do i get samba to work with my network? [07:00] hei again, anyone know anbout enabling webdavs? [07:00] !ciao [07:00] it use to work until i updated to 13.10 [07:00] hitsujiTMO, doing it [07:00] !list [07:00] mike01: No warez here!

[07:15] anon, nothing stops you from trying to [07:16] siberiannerd, lol [07:16] just leave the older one [07:16] with it's initrd [07:16] I want to know if it's safe. [07:16] Well, I already installed it. [07:16] do you feel safe? [07:16] Nothing blew up yet.. [07:17] Do you think it'll be alright in the near future? [07:17] safe, yes... fully supported by all of your other hardware... that's something you and maybe google wil have to hammer out [07:17] upgraded to 13.04, keyboard & mouse won't respond (can't login). How to fix? [07:17] topper4125, It works better with my notebook. I also heard it has better support for the battery and other components. It's the only kernel that support disabling the keyboard backlight [07:17] I can't do it with 3.8 [07:18] supports*. [07:18] systemfish, wont respond even for ctrl+alt+f1 ? [07:19] anon, sounds promising then :) looks like you did your homework. [07:19] siberiannerd: don't think so (will try soon). Num lock does not respond, so I guess not [07:20] systemfish, but it's not hardware related, right? [07:20] siberiannerd: ctrl+alt+f1 does not work. It's not hardware related but becomes a problem when ubuntu has booted up [07:21] maybe some module is missing for some very strange reason [07:21] i would investigate it via chroot environment from live [07:23] maybe i would put openssh server on that instance to get access through network after it boots up and would try to bring some logs here, lspci, lsusb, dmesg, syslog, lsmod, boot log [07:23] alright, will try [07:24] I'm trying "ubuntu with advanced option" from the boot up menu now [07:24] will try recovery mode [07:24] systemfish, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot also [07:25] brb [07:27] im trying to set up a VNC on my server so i can see the remote desktop, can someone help me to set it up? === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [07:29] ssfdre38: just read a tutorial [07:30] linux boffins tend to use console & ssh, not gui desktop ;-) [07:30] siberiannerd: what am I supposed to do? [07:30] i have but it all requires me being at the server, and i cant be at the server as its on the other side of the country === Caelum_ is now known as Caelum [07:32] I need help. I installed Ubuntu 13.04 Server onto VirtualBox in Win8 under UEFI. After the installation, the box rebooted and I got a GRUB 2 menu and I booted into my new installation and everything worked great. I shut down and detached the installation media. Now when I boot, all I get is an EFI shell :(. What can I do to get back into my installation? [07:32] systemfish, after getting into chroot environment you will be able to work into that instance with modules and /dev/ from the original environment, so if you keyboard works in live it will work on the "dead" instance [07:34] you will be able to execute commands under that "dead" instance in many cases, installing additional software, edit configs and things responsible for boot process [07:34] siberiannerd: why chroot when I just can login as root? [07:35] systemfish, oh, i've missed something probably, i'm not familiar precisely what "recovery mode" option does exactly [07:36] siberiannerd: instead of loading all the ubuntu stuff, I just get a root tty basically [07:36] so you're now able to operate the instance? [07:36] Do I have to manually set up EFI info when installing under EFI with Ubuntu Server? [07:37] i would set up openssh-server, boot into usual way where it stucks with keyboard and would look through logs [07:38] siberiannerd: can't I just look at logs in the root tty I have now? [07:38] though, what logs should I look into? [07:38] joebobjoe, I would ask in #ubuntu-server [07:38] systemfish, you keyboard works now, right? [07:38] yes === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [07:39] so tracking the event from past is harder [07:39] you may try though [07:39] how do you do such a thing? :P [07:39] there are tons of files in /var/log [07:40] reading through logs carefully, all those events logged in that time you booted normally, however if you was lacking the module it may not be obvious in some cases from what u've read in logs at this point === Krabbe_ is now known as Krabbe [07:41] siberiannerd: should I look trough all files in /var/log? [07:42] most probably .1 ones are could be useful too [07:42] syslog, dmesg.log, boot.log [07:46] hi [07:46] hi [07:47] hi [07:48] hi [07:48] thanks siberiannerd [07:48] systemfish, woa, any luck with that approach? [07:49] Anyone a themes expert? I was finally able to use a background image for my panel by editing my theme files, but the panel background get's slightly darker when i hover over it. You really have to pay attention to the panel to see it http://d.pr/v/bDag === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [07:50] siberiannerd: not really, lol [07:51] hi [07:51] need help plz [07:52] I am using ubuntu 10.04 [07:52] systemfish, i would suggest you to set up ssh access and boot it in usual way, getting into the box via ssh to see what's going on actually, starting from plugging/unplugging the device, looking at dmesg and `lsmod` [07:52] I want to install a SkyStar USB HD it is a DVB-S [07:53] this is lsusb : [07:53] Bus 001 Device 008: ID 14f7:0500 [07:53] dvb0s and a n hdd? [07:53] what do you mean? [07:53] siberiannerd: it seems like i dont have sshd installed, and i don't have any network access [07:54] you say it is DVB-S whats that mean..i didnt think u could have an hdd thats DVB-S [07:54] farid_, just a bit of a warning... 10.04 isn't supported anymore (unless its lts server edition) [07:54] it is LTS [07:55] true.. 10.04 was LTS... but only the server release is supported... not desktop lts [07:55] but people say it should be like this : [07:55] Bus 001 Device 003: ID 14f7:0500 TechniSat Digital GmbH DVB-PC TV Star HD [07:55] mmm 3rd party on a eol [07:55] why it is not detected?

[08:03] I don't like it [08:04] I got used to 10.04 [08:04] I get used to [08:05] farid__, here are some links from askubuntu. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=Technisat+SkyStar+USB+HD+ [08:05] is that the only way? [08:07] the problem is with Linux kernel [08:07] farid__, With a quick look it looks like a compile situation with some limitations, so take a read on the links. [08:07] but synaptic package says 2.6.32 is the latest version and installed! [08:08] but I need at least 2.6.39 to get this DVB-S detected on my system [08:09] I read all of the similar cases including that one [08:09] farid__, You might be best getting up to the next supported LT 12.04. [08:09] farid__, 5 years support, about another 3 1/2 years form now. [08:10] yes, it seems I have to do it [08:10] from* [08:10] what do you mean support? [08:11] I didn't pay anyone for using ubuntu [08:11] farid__, All the ubuntu releases have a time you can get support, help in other words, and have access to the regular repos. [08:11] I am sure it is not your task to support [08:11] all you are doing is helping [08:11] and god bless you [08:11] any updates made for 3rd party hardware are made for supported versions (10.04 LTS (server), 12.04 LTS, 12.10, 13.04 and 13.10). while they *might* work on older versions, there is no guarantee, nor any effort made to make them work for unsupported versions. [08:12] farid__, This is a support channel, call it what you want. ;) [08:12] thanks a lot [08:12] Anyone a themes expert? I was finally able to use a background image for my panel by editing my theme files, but the panel background get's slightly darker when i hover over it. You really have to pay attention to the panel to see it http://d.pr/v/bDag [08:14] dannymichel, Not many if any at all are going to download this, doesn't unity-tweak or compiz have a control on that? [08:14] looks like you have a shadow that appears a little delayed? [08:18] guys how to localize Ubuntu into my local language? [08:18] settings>>Language support [08:19] is there any free vpn or proxy software for ubuntu? [08:20] !vpn | farid__ this link has an article with links to software... [08:20] farid__ this link has an article with links to software...: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [08:20] I can't run psiphon3 with wine, it gives error [08:21] farid__ did you try dante? [08:21] * topper4125 has no experience with wine... I left Win a *long* time ago :( [08:21] farid__: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [08:23] no [08:23] never [08:27] everyone thanks for the help, bye [08:28] whats up with 13.10? [08:28] buggy as shit [08:28] the top right icon on the taskbar disappears every so often === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [08:29] haven't used it... I only upgrade from LTS to LTS [08:30] avoids a lot of headaches that way [08:34] guys how to localize a software [08:34] topper4125: whats the latest lts? still 12.04? [08:38] topper4125: its actually 12.04.3. im currently on 13.04. are the packages in the LTS version the same as the non LTS? [08:39] in case i face issue with the latest kernel for current release, should i take a look through mainline kernels or what are my options if bug is not fixed and critical for me? [08:40] where is the offtopic channel again? [08:41] i need a proper way to do this, please [08:41] krz, #defocus [08:48] arun_: That's somewhat complicated, and depends on various things, such as the language it is written in [08:48] geirha: the language is associated with Nepali [08:49] geirha: But a cultural / local language [08:49] arun_: I mean the programming language of the software [08:50] geirha: oh , its the py [08:50] arun_: Or are you asking how to translate this application into your (written) language [08:51] geirha: yaa, I am wanting to translate the software, not the codes , I have the po file of it in US, but needs to have in other language [08:51] arun_: If so, I'd head on over to #ubuntu-translators [08:51] so, ubnutu gais. Can I put a script or something somewhere, that'll execute before I login? I need to install a ssh daemon but have no access to a keyboard [08:52] the keyboard isn't working I mean.. only in recovery mode. But when I boot into ubuntu, it connects to the network but kills the keyboard and mouse [08:52] Hi, I select 64-bit and click on Ubuntu 13.10 button on ubuntu.com I get a file called: ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso ? [08:53] Can I trust it's the right version, 13.10 x64? [08:53] scarleo: that's probably not 13.10 64-bit [08:54] I'd say it's rather strange. Could someone tets if they have the same problem? [08:54] test* [08:55] scarleo, try http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads [08:55] scarleo: Testing it will not give you a 64bit iso ;) you can get the 64bit iso directly from cdimages.ubuntu.com [08:55] old complaint basically [08:56] scarleo: Just did, I got the 13.10 64-bit iso when I clicked the Ubuntu 13.10 button [08:56] wilee-nilee, Ok? So it's a known problem? [08:57] bekks, Iknwo, just wanted to report it if it wasn't just me, but it seems it's just me [08:57] scarleo, I think it has to do with allowing cookies and flash, just a guess though. [08:57] ok, thanks guys === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [09:02] how can distrowatch report linuxmint as the #1 distro, when their irc freenode channel is half full?? [09:03] krz: because people who gravitate to things like mint aren't really irc-literate :) [09:03] s/aren't/less so.. [09:03] on average. [09:03] krz: distrowatch reports how many clicks a link got on the distrowatch webiste. Nothing more, nothing less. Basically totally useless and offtopic. [09:04] deego: s/irc// [09:04] deego: s/irc-// sorry [09:04] LOL [09:04] the thing i like about unity/ubuntu compared to other distros. is the space manement in the desktop. i love how unity has a kind of "global" taskbar [09:05] the other dm's in other distros consume too much whitespace [09:05] also their official channel isn't on this network iirc [09:05] It's a sliding scale. Ubuntu isn't that exempt either. #Debian has as many irc members, though debian is nowhere near ubuntu on distrowatch (right?) [09:05] as many as #ubuntu.. [09:05] booted up in recovery mode. Can I "get into my normal environment" so that my wifi settings can kick up? [09:06] are the packages in 12.04.3 LTS updated? how can i see what packages/versions? [09:06] Don't get me wrong. I use mint. My wife does. My dad does. Nothing wrong with mint or ubuntu. But, none of them are irc-ers :) [09:06] krz: 12.04 receives updates for 5 years. [09:06] krz: you can see the versions using dpkg -l e.g. [09:07] im on 13.04 [09:07] there's no sshd installed by default, is there? [09:07] systemfish: no [09:07] krz: packages.ubuntu.com [09:07] krz: you asked about 12.04. And 13.04 will receive updates for 9 months. [09:07] systemfish: no, not on the desktop [09:07] are you guys on LTS/ [09:07] ? [09:07] krz: apt-cache show packagename will give you info for a specific package. generally a LTS will receive security updates, but not upgrades to later releases of the software [09:08] krz: Depends on the box. [09:08] if I start ubnutu recovery mode with network, can I get a tty somehow? [09:08] Hi [09:08] I've installed bustle [09:08] After I've launched it, I've got this message: 'No diagram loaded' 'Having saved the output of bustle-dbus-monitor' to a file , open that file to see a sequence diagram of D-Bus activity.' [09:08] systemfish: ctrl + alt +f2 should work [09:08] krz: i prefer lts for servers, but in general i'm on 13.10 for desktop use [09:09] How I solve this? [09:09] systemfish: no [09:09] iceroot_: I get nothing then.. just a blank screen with a blinking _ in the left top [09:09] Any ideas? [09:09] hitsujiTMO: you come across any bugs in 13.10? [09:09] systemfish: what are you trying to do? [09:09] krz: plenty. i've 2 reported atm [09:10] hitsujiTMO: install a kernel module.. without it, my keyboard and mouse won't respond as quick as the login screen pops up [09:10] hitsujiTMO: worth upgrading now, or waiting? [09:10] systemfish: you can install that from recovery just fine. [09:10] krz: depends on your needs [09:11] hitsujiTMO: I need internet connection plus a tty to do that [09:11] hitsujiTMO: I don't have a live cd [09:12] hitsujiTMO: when I start recovery mode with network access, I don't get a command line [09:12] systemfish: is this on a fresh install? [09:12] hitsujiTMO: upgraded to 13.04 [09:12] systemfish: have you tried booting an older kernel? [09:12] hitsujiTMO: kernel-image-extra is missing I suppose, according to some bug reports [09:12] yes [09:12] didn't work [09:13] but perhaps I can boot an older kernel in recovery mode + network.. will try [09:13] systemfish: have you tried booting an older kernel with text option? [09:13] hitsujiTMO: was it worth the upgrade for you? [09:13] hitsujiTMO: text option? [09:14] krz: yes, i got improved touchscreen support [09:15] systemfish: before booting the older kernel, hit e to edit the grub options, add text after: quiet splash [09:15] systemfish: then hit f10 to boot with those options [09:15] hello [09:16] what will that do hitsujiTMO? [09:16] systemfish: boots to cli only [09:16] hitsujiTMO: I can get a root tty, but with no network access [09:16] also, apt-get don't seem to work when I do that (although I don't have network access) [09:16] something about lock... [09:17] systemfish: if the issue is happening on both a new and old kernel, then i suspect it has nothing to do with kernel modules btw [09:17] systemfish: just try and boot with text first, if that helps then your part of the way there [09:17] hitsujiTMO: I don't have kernel-extras installed/loaded (I checked). I need those [09:17] ok [09:18] where am I suppose to add quiet splash? [09:18] I'm getting blank screen(unsupported resolution) and weird RADEON lines in my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386800/ when I have an nvidia card. I run a custom xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386803/ which has worked before upgrading 13.04 to 13.10 Can someone please look at my xorg log and give me some pointers? [09:18] oh.. nvm lol [09:18] systemfish: add 'text' after 'quiet aplash' [09:19] !fuckmywife [09:19] systemfish: and do that for the old kernel, no the current [09:19] hitsujiTMO: for the old kernel, or old kernel (recovery mode) ? [09:19] systemfish: old kernel [09:20] Hi [09:20] How can I uninstall a package I've installed from a deb file? [09:21] lucido: can you pastebin the output of: lspci [09:22] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386822/ [09:22] hitsujiTMO: awesome! So.. that cause unity not to start, but only a command line instead? [09:22] MarkDavis: a deb will have a packagename. you can remove it with apt-get remove packagename. what deb was it? [09:22] systemfish: yessum [09:22] what does cli-mode mean hitsujiTMO? [09:22] systemfish: command line interface [09:23] hitsujiTMO: is this temporary, or was that saved in the grub thing? [09:23] lucido: just so you know, you have an ati card, not an nvidia card [09:23] hitsujiTMO: with Brother driver. I still have problems with my printer, I installed drivers from the Ubuntu repository, then from Brother's page, but it neither one nor second worked. [09:24] hi after pressing ctrl + H to hide and unhide. The folder is automatically unhiding itself when i open file manager. how to solve this? [09:24] hitsujiTMO, damn, I was on the wrong console, let me regenerate the pastebins [09:25] MarkDavis: can you pastebin the output of: dpkg --get-selections [09:25] greyhatpython, to hide the folder has a period at the beginning, what is the folder and what is it you actually want? [09:25] I'm sure that it's possible to install this printer here because I have already did it once. I don't know why it doesn't want to work this time. [09:26] MarkDavis: have you installed it with an older version of ubuntu or the same version? [09:26] I've got Nvidia 240 GTS 1gb - how do I enable the 'eyecandy' ? [09:26] No, with the same. [09:26] !nvidia | sl1ck [09:26] sl1ck: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [09:26] And the system detects the printer. It just doesn't print. [09:26] MarkDavis: usb or network printer? [09:27] USB. [09:27] MarkDavis: can you pastebin the output of: lsusb [09:27] wilee-nilee i know to hide folder to add period in folder name. But my problem is when i open file manager the .period folders are displaying automatically. [09:27] hitsujiTMO: it has many lines. Should I paste it here? [09:27] Ok, with the correct info this time: I'm getting blank screen(unsupported resolution). Here's my Xorg.0.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386837/ I run a custom xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386833/ which has worked before upgrading 13.04 to 13.10 Can someone please look at my xorg log and give me some pointers? [09:28] !paste | MarkDavis [09:28] MarkDavis: 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. [09:28] greyhatpython, I had this problem in 13.04 or 13.10 no matter what I did in dconf etc, I just did a reinstall. [09:28] I am using 13.10 [09:28] bekks: so after driver installation eyecandy is automatically enabled? [09:28] re-install for a small problem? [09:28] MarkDavis: use paste.ubuntu.com [09:29] sl1ck: define "eyecandy" first :) [09:29] greyhatpython, seems strange but I could not figure it out myself, I'm not saying you should. [09:29] hitsujiTMO: OK, just a moment. [09:29] ya there should some other around for this to solve. [09:29] bekks: right, the windows 7 aero-like desktop :) [09:29] *way [09:30] sl1ck: Linux doesnt support Aero ;) [09:30] does --> find -daystart -ctime 0 -print correctly tell find to find files created today(ins. of 24 hrs. ago)? [09:30] bekks: which is why I added "-like" to the Aero bit ;) [09:31] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386855/ [09:31] MarkDavis: what version of ubuntu are you using? [09:31] sl1ck: Using the proprietary nvidia driver will give you the chance to enable a lot more of effects, and you will notice your desktop is somehow "faster" than using the nouveau driver. [09:33] bekks: how would I go about enabling the said effects, compiz? [09:34] thank you hitsujiTMO a lot, it works now (xorg mouse and keybord stuff was missing) [09:34] !yay | systemfish [09:34] systemfish: Glad you made it! :-) [09:34] :) [09:35] Hello room, I've been trying to make the Ubuntu 13.10 installation recognize my Windows 8.1 partition but my entire disk shows up as unallocated. Gdisk shows only a 250 GB free space and no errors. UEFI btw. Can someone help? [09:36] calmtits: can you pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l [09:36] oh wait gonna log back to the live USB stick [09:36] MarkDavis: can you tell me the output of: uname -r [09:37] 3.2.0-55-generic-pae [09:37] hitsujiTMO: the problem is going to be what the problem always is in that circumstance -- ubuntu doesn't like windows' gpt [09:37] MarkDavis: so this is 12.04 lts ? [09:37] exactly [09:38] ben64: i've a feeling that its a mbr install on top of a gpt partition table :P [09:38] alright I'm in, can you tell me the command again? [09:39] MarkDavis: have you tried installing brother-lpr-drivers-extra ? [09:39] calmtits: can you pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l [09:40] what's xmir? [09:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386895/ [09:40] hitsujiTMO: no, I haven't. [09:40] ddd [09:40] 我不知道怎么用啊 [09:40] for using this command : find /path/to/dir -name "**" -->how do i build a string like "20131109" to include todays date in place of ** [09:41] ben64: i was wrong :( [09:41] 什么wrong？ [09:41] calmtits: can you pastebin the output of: lsblk [09:42] lsblk [09:42] hitsujiTMO: and I've just noticed that something strange is going on because I can't log in as root when I am in a terminal but I can do it in window applications.

[09:44] bingo: That depends on your requirements. [09:44] because when I try to choose a booting device there's always an "Ubuntu" option, even if I don't have Ubuntu anywhere [09:44] bekks, i just browse and stuff, thats it really [09:45] bingo: Then you dont need additional rules, basically. [09:45] MarkDavis: what exactly do you mean can't log in as root? [09:45] but if i wanted to say, make a program outbound only. i could do that? [09:45] !root | MarkDavis [09:45] MarkDavis: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:45] for using this command : find /path/to/dir -name "**" -->how do i build a string like "20131109" to include todays date in place of ** [09:46] bingo: thats the default. [09:46] bekks, ty === jan is now known as Guest41022 [09:47] calmtits, Are you aware you have a gpt must be uefi computer? [09:47] calmtits: can you pastebin the output of: gdisk -l /dev/sda [09:47] hitsujiTMO: there is a terminal application offered by Ubuntu. So I tried to log in as root with su. And it doesn't work. But when I enter the same password when a window application requests it then it works. [09:47] wilee-nilee: yes, wasn't back when I did the forementioned but I deliberately converted to UEFI yesterday [09:48] !root | MarkDavis [09:48] MarkDavis: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:48] calmtits, cool. [09:48] Ben64: Strange, because the last time it worked. [09:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386944/ [09:49] if I had to guess I'd say that the leftovers of my goof back when I bought the PC this summer are torturing me [09:49] johndude: find /path/to/dir -name "*$(date +%Y%m%d)*" [09:50] calmtits: the windows has the wrong partition id. thats why it can't be seen [09:51] Gparted also has a warning for /dev/sda3 [09:51] "unable to detect file system" [09:51] the msftres one [09:52] calmtits: no wait, i'm wrong. 0700 is correct [09:53] calmtits: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [09:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386952/ [09:53] hello hitsujiTMO [09:53] what would be your second best linux preference? [09:53] distro* [09:54] hello lovelyrandomness [09:54] calmtits: Can you post a screenshot of Ubuntu's installer showing the drive as being unnallocated? [09:54] !screenshot | calmtits [09:54] calmtits: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [09:55] woot [09:55] wait [09:56] good call [09:56] it stopped being unallocated http://imagebin.org/276302 [09:56] :) [09:57] but the installer doesn't allow to install alongside Ubuntu [09:57] can I still do it manually? [09:57] hitsujiTMO: i'm still stuck, the vaio looks really good as deco on the table though :) [09:58] lovelyrandomness: hehe. i reread that link you gave and that's certainly not the issue. well not for that exact problem [09:58] i redid my writeup: http://askubuntu.com/questions/372970/13-10-doesnt-boot-on-vaio-pro-13 i had it set to legacy mode, after the UEFI installation [09:58] those are the choices I get http://imagebin.org/276303 [09:59] if all fails use another computer to burn ubuntu to a disk or usb and boot from it from the bios you will be back on your feet [09:59] in efernce to randomness [09:59] as for calm what are you trying to do? [09:59] hitsujiTMO: another user mentioned to drop the LVM and just install in legacy and it would work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2186715 [10:00] install Ubuntu 13.10 [10:00] maybe that's the best and fastest solution, right? [10:00] calm do you have a usb with at least 2gb? [10:00] although i seem to be so close, if this /cow error didn't appear and i could do "sudo update-grub" [10:01] you mean besides the live usb stick I am currently booting from? [10:01] no [10:01] the live stick your booting from has the installer correct? [10:01] the usb I boot from atm is 4gb and used lili usb creator to make it [10:01] yes [10:02] lovelyrandomness: can you boot the live cd again. I don't think the the lvm/encryption is your problem since its not even trying to boot grub [10:02] hitsujiTMO: So I've installed these extra drivers but it doesn't seem like it worked. [10:02] reboot and proceed to install are your partitions set? [10:02] hitsujiTMO: sure, hang on. thanks for helping, again, really! [10:03] the Ubuntu installer doesn't give me an "install alongside Ubuntu" option now, first it showed the disk as unallocated [10:03] I formatted, converted to GPT and installed Windows 8 in UEFI [10:03] oh you have to select the disk and erase it [10:03] it will take a long time if its alot of space [10:03] hitsujiTMO: have you seen my latest boot repair log? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386598/ i tried boot repair with the efi rename, don't know if i did something bad [10:04] and now I'm trying to dual boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.10 in UEFI [10:04] windows 8 isnt on the partition your going to erase is it? [10:04] D4rkness: For installing along windows, thats a fatal approach. [10:04] D4rkness: He is trying install a dualboot actually. [10:04] lovelyrandomness: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi [10:04] there's already 250gb free to install Ubuntu [10:05] and I'm trying to dual boot [10:05] aah [10:05] but I get no such option and I'm not sure if I should do it manually [10:05] Jordan_U: the partition is encrypted would that still work [10:05] well if his partition is showing as unallocated then i thing his windows 8 is beyond repair [10:05] assuming their on the same partition [10:06] it doesn't show up as unallocated after formatting or rebooting or something I did with all the googling [10:06] lol [10:06] D4rkness: Please look at his paste before assuming those wrong things, [10:06] lovelyrandomness: Yes, as the only partitions grub-install needs are your boot partition and EFI System Partition, neither of which are encrypted. [10:06] didnt see his paste hold on [10:06] D4rkness: He has a working windows 8, he has enough free space - just the "install alongside windows" option is missing. [10:07] D4rkness: http://imagebin.org/276302 [10:07] is the gparted warning normal? [10:07] calmtits: gparted cant deal with GPT labeled disks, yes. [10:07] ok [10:08] Jordan_U hitsujiTMO ok, i'm in now and will do what Jordan_U told me.. [10:08] calmtits: bekks: GParted handles GPT labeled disks just fine. What warning are you seeing? [10:09] how do I check whether my system supports S3 Standby/sleep mode? [10:09] Jordan_U: oh, you are right. fdisk doesnt handle GPT correctly, as can be seen in his paste here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386895/ [10:09] Jordan_U: http://imagebin.org/276304 [10:09] bekks: gdisk -l /dev/sdX [10:09] calm [10:09] your windows 8 is on sda4 correct?

Do you know what is supposed to be on sda3? [10:10] ok then this will be quite painless [10:11] select your freespace [10:11] and inistall there [10:11] your windows 8 wont be touched [10:11] D4rkness: It wont. He is using GPT and not MBR. GPT doesnt have the limit of four primary partitions. [10:11] Jordan_U: sda3 was made after yesterday's format === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [10:11] calmtits: How did you "make" it? [10:11] Jordan_U hitsujiTMO: mount: mount point /mnt/boot/efi/ does not exist [10:11] lovelyrandomness: that might need to be sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt//efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi [10:12] lovelyrandomness: that might need to be sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi [10:12] I tried to convert my Windows 8 installation in UEFI [10:12] formatted the whole drive [10:12] lovelyrandomness: second one [10:12] made a bootable UEFI usb with Windows 8 === Guest970 is now known as Morgawr [10:12] enabled "Windows 8" and "UEFI only" on the motherboard setup [10:12] hitsujiTMO: mount: /dev/sda2 already mounted or /mnt/ busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda2 is already mounted on /mnt [10:12] and just installed it [10:13] ya, did th escond one [10:14] lovelyrandomness: move onto: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi [10:14] bekks: so he has too many partitions written and doesnt want to risk killing windows [10:14] hi, i have several applications and also files and folders in the file manager without an icon to it in ubuntu 13.10 unity [10:14] hitsujiTMO: source_dir doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory [10:15] D4rkness: The first part is not true, as I explained to you already. [10:15] hitsujiTMO: should i do a quick reinstall? [10:15] Jordan_U: btw formatting and reinstalling everything isn't really a problem , what's important for me is to have both operating systems work [10:16] lovelyrandomness: sudo apt-get install grub-efi-amd64 [10:16] but as I mentioned before, I get a "weird" Ubuntu option during boot time in the "choose a device to boot" option [10:16] lovelyrandomness: a reinstall will prob just bring you back here. might be worth a try [10:16] even if I don't have anything Ubuntu related on hdd or anywhere [10:16] hi, i have several applications and also files and folders in the file manager without an icon to it in ubuntu 13.10 unity, how can i solve that problem? [10:17] Jordan_U: done [10:17] lovelyvaio: Did grub-install say that it was successful? [10:17] lovelyvaio: againL sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi [10:18] lovelyvaio: Sorry, I'm very tired at the moment. As hitsujiTMO said, you need to run grub-install again as you now have the needed packages. [10:19] thanks, Jordan_U! [10:19] I'm having problems with my armhf Ubuntu install [10:19] I can't figure out what's wrong with my sources.list! [10:19] Nothing_Much: #ubuntu-arm [10:19] and yes it was successfull [10:19] iceroot_: It's not really about armhf, it's just that my sources.list keeps screwing up [10:20] lovelyvaio: actually can you try: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu_13.10 [10:20] speaking from experience i had windows 8 installed first too on my second laptop then when i installed linux on both i selected the something else option then cleared a partition that wasnt my windows 8 drive and proceeded to install linux and i still have the option in my boot list [10:20] aha [10:20] not saying it will be the same for him but this was how it went for me [10:20] Can somebody tell me where the hell the release file is? [10:20] hitsujiTMO: hang on, it's doing sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi [10:21] lovelyvaio: just do the second one i posted after [10:21] lovelyvaio: once thats done can you pastebin the output of: efibootmgr [10:21] hitsujiTMO: finished, ok will do [10:22] lovelyvaio: sorry that should be: sudo efibootmgr [10:22] should I just try to erase that "warning" partition and try to see if I can install Ubuntu then? [10:22] for xubuntu [10:22] [02:20:36] hi [10:22] [02:20:41] i don't see the top toolbar [10:22] [02:20:44] how do i get it again? [10:22] [02:21:02] i tried restart lightdm , but that didn't fix it [10:22] ur0pl: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:22] calmtits: that warning part is windows BCD ... leave it [10:23] My sources.list keeps screwing up on me and I can't figure out how to get rid of an "expected entry" [10:23] ur0pl what version of linux are you running [10:23] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387057/ [10:24] lovelyvaio: sweet. try restarting and booting the ssd. [10:24] ok [10:25] should I just follow the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI and stop worrying that the installer doesn't give me the install alongside option? [10:25] thats what i did [10:25] turned out fine for me [10:26] just dont do it on the partition thats holding windows and you'll be fine [10:26] during the installation you will see it say "detecting other operating systems" [10:26] hitsujiTMO: it fails to boot, i get the vaio screen that offers me to enter the bios/uefi [10:27] lovelyrandomness: not even a grub menu at all? [10:27] guess because it looks for that microsoft uefi only [10:27] no [10:27] lovelyrandomness: disable secure boot in the bios [10:27] im sure its looking for the windows 8 image so it can add it to the list of start up OS's [10:27] hitsujiTMO: i have [10:28] always, did that the first time after i entered the bios [10:28] because right after the install i say ubuntu first on the list then windows 8 on the very bottom [10:28] lovelyrandomness: turn back on secure boot and boot the live cd [10:28] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_partition Mount point: /boot/efi (remark: no need to set this mount point when using the manual partitioning, the Ubuntu installer will detect it automatically) [10:28] they should both be on the grub menu that will pop up [10:28] should I just create a /boot then? [10:28] lovelyrandomness: 13.10 has a shim that allows booting with secureboot enabled [10:29] ok, booting... [10:30] calmtits it is an efi partition so if what their saying is accurate it will auto dectect it [10:30] lovelyrandomness: might as well try that reinstall so, but first, gonna clear out the boot manager [10:30] hi, can the ubuntu 12.04.3 desktop i 386 iso image (741MB) be burnt to a CD? [10:30] hitsujiTMO: ok [10:30] hitsujiTMO: i'm in [10:31] open the console again. pastebin the output of: lsblk [10:31] oh ffs [10:31] if you use the manual partitioning ("Something else"), the difference is that you will have to set the /boot/efi mount point to the EFI partition. [10:31] I can't figure out this sources.list thing! [10:31] Benkinooby: If you have an empty 750/800MB cdrom medium, yes. [10:31] so I create a /boot pointing to /dev/sda2 in my case? [10:32] or just use /dev/sda2 and assign a mount point to /boot? [10:32] I'm on armhf and it keeps spewing out needs for main/binary-x86/Packages! [10:32] lovelyrandomness: and can you pastebin the output of: sudo efibootmgr [10:32] calmtits: Thats not sufficient for UEFI. [10:32] calmtits: you need that /boot/efi mountpoint [10:32] I'm following the guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [10:32] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387096/ [10:33] what is .odp? [10:33] bekks: there are CDs with differnt size [10:33] ? [10:33] yeyeman: Open Document Presentation [10:33] and it says "Mount point: /boot/efi (remark: no need to set this mount point when using the manual partitioning, the Ubuntu installer will detect it automatically)" [10:33] so I'm not sure what I must do manually, just /boot or what [10:33] bekks: i only have 700MB CDs - some mention 80 minutes. i don't knwo how accurate those specs are [10:34] I'm on armhf and it keeps spewing out needs for main/binary-x86/Packages! [10:34] lovelyvaio: can you pastebin: sudo ebibootmgr [10:34] !mini | Benkinooby [10:34] Benkinooby: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:34] one part says "you must do /boot/efi pointing to the EFI partition" the other "no need to set this manually" [10:34] what computer do you have calmtits [10:34] as in specs or mobo? [10:34] Jordan_U: thanks i know that. i was just curious, since i never saw CDs that say 750 or 800 MB [10:34] I'm on a desktop PC atm [10:34] the computer model and the bios name [10:34] lovelyvaio: sorry that should be: sudo efibootmgr [10:35] I bought parts seperately [10:35] Guys, I seriously can't figure this out, I'm close to raging, I need some assistence asap. [10:35] hitsujiTMO: command not found :/ [10:35] hmmm alright what bios came preinstalled on your hard drive? [10:36] My sources.list is beyond repair and it keeps asking me for binary-x86 stuff, I'm on an armhf computer [10:36] bios? need to reboot to see that but the mobo is Gigabyte [10:36] or motherboard lol [10:36] lovelyvaio: for? (notice my spelling mistake earlier): sudo efibootmgr [10:36] GA-B75M-D3H [10:36] ok wait [10:36] hitsujiTMO: would a full reinstall, where i let ubuntu wipe the complete ssd and install using legacy mode, encrypted, w/o LVM work? [10:36] yes, i tried sudo efibootmgr [10:37] lovelyrandomness: trying that now. just want to clear the boot manager first [10:37] won't that get cleared if ubuntu wipes again? [10:37] thanks for that D4rkness, most people I see stopped bothering with me :/ [10:37] lovelyrandomness: sudo apt-get install efibootmgr [10:38] ok i dont know what makes your computer from any other you shouldnt even need a efi to install 13.10 [10:38] lovelyrandomness: no, its not stored on the ssd [10:38] My sources.list is beyond repair and it keeps asking me for binary-x86 stuff, the official repository keeps redirecting to the wrong ports for x86 packages [10:38] different* [10:38] Nothing_Much: dude, if no one is answering then there is no one who can or wants to help you. repeating your question does not help either. neither does "OMFG! I needz da help asap !!1!" [10:38] D4rkness: it's cause I installed Windows 8 with efi [10:38] Benkinooby: Oh, this isn't a support channel? Pardon me then. :/ [10:38] oooooooh that simplifies things [10:39] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387116/ [10:39] then yes you will need to install ubuntu the same way [10:39] and have the same version of efi [10:39] that you used on 8 [10:39] Nothing_Much: it is a support channel. but only if people who are able to help you are around and if those said people have time for you [10:39] not the same exact file but the same exact version [10:40] hitsujiTMO: and i read on the docs to boot repair, that i could later on convert from legacy to UEFI [10:40] lovelyvaio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387122/ [10:40] i can't update my linux [10:40] why [10:40] ?? [10:40] if you dont have the same version then theres no guarantee windows 8 will stay on the boot list [10:40] lovelyrandomness: i'd never recommend trying to convert. it can get messy [10:41] hitsujiTMO: done [10:41] well, what's the downside in not using UEFI [10:41] ? [10:41] lovelyrandomness: open gparted and delete all the partitions then write changes to disk [10:41] but yes if windows 8 went on through efi ubuntu must also go on that way so that if may be added to the list of startup os's [10:42] it* [10:42] lovelyrandomness: non efi uses mbr partition table, which has nasty limitations and more ways to mess up the bootstrap [10:43] hitsujiTMO: done, it warned me that is has no valid fake msdos partition table [10:43] Hey folks. I'm trying to remove all backup files in a folder using find /path/ -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 -iname '*~' | xargs -0 rm . But it deletes all files in that folder, instead of the backup ones. Please help :\ [10:43] lovelyrandomness: thats ok. start the installer and install away [10:44] hitsujiTMO: damn, now i don't want legacy [10:44] maybe i should go to my local hackerspace [10:44] and see if someone there would want to give me some advice [10:44] lovelyvaio: did you boot as uefi or usb ? [10:44] lovelyrandomness: just give it another install [10:45] hitsujiTMO: ? u have it set to uefi and booted from usb [10:46] lovelyrandomness: wait.. efibootmgr wouldn't have worked if you booted as legacy mode. drive on. install away [10:47] should i drop the LVM now? [10:47] lovelyrandomness: i'd say yes, because of 2 other bugs that can mess that up for you [10:48] ah ok, thank you! [10:48] lovelyrandomness: just stick with legacy layout for mow [10:48] now* [10:48] :( [10:50] lovelyrandomness: there's a bug where, depending on what usb chipset you have, your keyboard does not get loaded for the point where you need to enter your encryption password. another where it shows a black screen at that password prompt, instead of the prompt. [10:52] for the LVM+encryption? [10:52] i really need/want encryption [10:52] lovelyrandomness: yup. and theres no need for lvm if you're not doing encryption [10:53] ah, man, i was so happy to finally migrate from osx with full disk encryption to ubuntu with easy full disk encryption too [10:53] it works super fine on my friends eee pc [10:55] lovelyrandomness: will be back to normal with 14.04 hopefully. i beleive both bugs have fixes made. just not make it to a live cd [10:56] what do i search for on launchpad? i want to check, if my chipset is affected === ybon- is now known as ybon [11:01] lovelyrandomness: this is the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1238194 its if you require ohci_pci [11:01] Ubuntu bug 1238194 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu Saucy) "keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions ubuntu 13.10 saucy" [Critical,Fix committed] [11:02] i know the fix [11:03] you must use a bluetooth keyboard or use the mouse to click the menu and go to settings, then enable on screen keyboard [11:03] after login update your drivers [11:03] should contain a fix [11:03] thank you hitsujiTMO [11:08] lovelyrandomness: that install done yet? [11:09] nope, i have to head out, as much as i'd like to spend one whole day, to get it up and working again. my friends want to see me and i have to work too :/ [11:09] hi, i have several applications and also files and folders in the file manager without an icon to it in ubuntu 13.10 unity, how can i solve that problem? [11:09] hitsujiTMO: i think i will go to my local hacker space tonight and ask around, if they have an idea, or at least try the install there, they have fast wifi :) [11:10] lovelyrandomness: hehe. hopefully this time it will go smoother at leasy [11:10] lovelyrandomness: sweet === NCsaba is now known as ncsaba === pardusf is now known as parduse [11:17] silidan3: can you show us a screenshot of the problem? [11:18] hitsujiTMO: shouldnt be necessary, apps are there i can click them in unity sidebar. but they have no icon, just empty space, also in file browser icons look all the same for files and folders [11:20] Is there somebody that can give me a Linux VPS for free? It's just for some ZNC & IRC hosting :p 32MB RAM is enough [11:20] gblue: try amazon AWS [11:21] okay [11:21] oh [11:21] can i host a ZNC on amazone aws? [11:22] silidan3: can you try reinstall the icons: sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-asset-pool [11:22] gblue: you should be able to do whatever you want. its a small vps with some restrictions but its more than enough for znc [11:23] hitsujiTMO: did that, should i log out log in for it to take effect? [11:23] silidan3: yup [11:23] okay hitsujiTMO and that's free lifetime?

It seems to have to do with the order of arguments in find. In my case putting -print0 after everything else worked. [11:30] silidan: oh lol!

[11:42] junka, the most you can do to improve the battery is install indicator-cpufreq which will allow you to adjust the cpu speed. on demand is a good setting, or powersave if you want to keep the laptop on lowest usage. also turn down the brightness level [11:43] hitsujiTMO, my cpu does not support scaling [11:43] Hiyas all [11:43] I hear a lot about tlp powermanagement but I dont wanna use something out of ubuntu's repo aka ppa.

[11:59] I thought that was "\msg" [11:59] donc3: How long does it take to mount the drive? There is no solution. I tjust takes some time to mount the drive, that's all. [11:59] okay, and can I uncrypt this partition?? [11:59] decrypt* [11:59] donc3: write the nickname of the person, you want to talk to, that's enough to 'notify' the person. [12:00] minimec ok [12:00] donc3: No. Once crypted, you cannot go back. [12:01] bythe way. Good day everyone... [12:01] minimec: and I have another problem is that sometimes and without doing nothing Ubuntu turns crazy and it puts in low graphics mode, and then I have to reboot [12:01] if i'm on live cd, and want to make sure that no information is recorded after shutdown, i was told that i need to umount everything shown in "mount", right now mount returns: http://pastie.org/8467569 ; i'm not on a live cd right now, but if i were, how would i umount all of these? [12:01] o/ minimec [12:01] donc3: Would that be on boot too or during a normal session? [12:01] hitsujiTMO: Didn't know about that! I will download ant test that ISO and see what happens. Thanks a lot really [12:02] during a normal session [12:02] hitsujiTMO: Looks that you staay awake 24/7... Amazing ;) [12:02] minimec: rofl. i'm just allover the place [12:02] donc3: That is not normal, I agree. [12:03] minimec: yes, I know [12:03] hitsujiTMO: fixed it, thanks. [12:03] systemfish: cool [12:04] minimec: what can I do? === loulou is now known as votre_laurent [12:04] donc3: What exactly happens, when ubuntu 'turns crazy', as you say? [12:04] Guest84394: sudo umount -a [12:05] minimec: the screen turns black and it doesn't works anything till it says that it has turned in low graphics mode === votre_laurent is now known as votre [12:05] -a All of the file systems described in /etc/mtab are unmounted. (With umount version 2.7 and later: the proc filesystem is not unmounted.) [12:05] hitsujiTMO: can you explain more please? this won't umount the cd but everything else? what about swap and harddisk? === votre is now known as vote === vote is now known as _laurent [12:07] donc3: Is that on a laptop? When it happens, did you try to switch to a console with f1 once? It would be very interesting to read out the log files, after such an incident. [12:07] no, in a desktop pc [12:08] Guest84394: i've never tried it tbh, but it should unmount everything it can. anything thats needed will be forced to keep mounted. the swap is never mounted. yo use a swap drive you use: sudo swapon /dev/sdX and to disable a swap: sudo swapoff /dev/sdX [12:08] hey, I'm thinking about switching to Ubuntu or some ubuntu-based distro. how are the game support nowadays? I know there's Steam, but if I wanna play, like, Battlefield 4, is that possible in Wine or something? And how well does it do? [12:08] minimec: I have a ati 3850 HD agp, no I haven't try to read the log files, cause I don't know what log file is [12:09] donc3: Ok. You see. Now we would need the log files, to know what exactly happens on your machine. [12:09] ok i see [12:09] !wine|goldug, results vary. see wine for more details [12:09] goldug, results vary. see wine for more details: 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 [12:09] ty [12:09] minimec: ok [12:09] hitsujiTMO >> the command didnt work :/ [12:09] goldug: no. stick with windows if you want absolutely all games. best thing to do its to install ubuntu alongside windows and use them both til you get used to ubuntu [12:09] okay, thanks. [12:09] donc3: ati 3850 HD AGP! That is the problem, I think. Do you use Ubuntu 13.10? [12:09] printed out nothing [12:10] i just need to evaluate todays date in the command as i ll place it in a script [12:10] minimec: yes I use it [12:11] donc3: In fact... If I remember well, the opensource drivers have problems with the AGP slot standard. [12:11] minimec: but it works perfectly always! [12:11] what nvidia driver do you want? [12:11] hitsujiTMO: okay, that's what I thought. I have an SSD disk @ 250GB, så switching between the OS's will probably be fast... however, at this rate my ssd is almost full already... [12:11] I have 8800GT.. how can I figure out what nvidia driver to install? [12:11] donc3: It worked with previous versions, right? But not anymore... [12:12] minimec: No,but now works perfectly [12:12] but sometimes it gets this issue [12:12] I don't now why [12:12] johndude: i forgot to add wildcards: find /path -name "*`date +%Y%m%d`*" [12:13] I don't like the new window manager in Ubuntu however, is it unity? Don't remember what it's called, but it is easy to switch to a window manager that I find "better"? [12:13] is it* [12:13] goldug, very easy. sudo apt-get install. logout. change desktop manager. login. [12:14] hitsujiTMO>> i am testing right away thanx [12:14] donc3: Well I think the 'why' is the AGP card. The same card on pci-e wouldn't make any problem. [12:14] systemfish: nvidia-173-updates (or nvidia-173) [12:15] ok [12:15] minimec: so what can I do? [12:15] hi. I've bought VPS hosting, and it has Ubuntu 12.04, but the bash prompt is not setup like on my notebook. All I get is a dollar sign. No color, tab completion, history, etc. I tried copying the contents of .bashrc, but it hasn't made a difference. What 2 do? [12:15] cfhowlett, thanks. I've been trying a couple of *nix distro's, but they all seem difficult, since I need to manually edit most config-files and such... I think it's fun, but I don't have time for it. [12:15] hitsujiTMO: installing nvidia-current (304) .. what could possibly go wrong? ^^ [12:15] goldug: a very basic install of ubuntu would be about 30gb (including enough space for a single steam game to test) [12:16] Hi! I have Ubuntu Server 12.04, everytime after reboot I have to go and change nameserver to 10.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf. It has been while ago 10.0.0.2, but where it keeps inheriting it? I'm editing the file with sudo but still it is changed after reboot. [12:16] donc3: I am pretty sure, that you will not have that problem, if you step back and install Ubuntu 12.04 on that machine. At the same time you can reformat the partition and use it uncrypted. That will also speed up your system. This is what I would do in your situation. [12:16] systemfish: 304 is for 200 series and up. 173 is the latest for your generation of gfx card [12:16] donc3: So I recommend you to use ubuntu 12.04 LTS. [12:17] goldug, try this for desktop environment only - not the full meal! sudo apt-get install lxde && sudo apt-get install xfce4 (lubuntu and xubuntu desktop environments) [12:17] makara_: whats the output of: echo $SHELL [12:17] hitsujiTMO, /bin/sh [12:17] hitsujiTMO: so if I install 304.. nothing of benefit will happen really? [12:17] makara_: type: bash [12:18] ah [12:18] hitsujiTMO: that is.. it isn't baackward compatible with my card [12:18] okay, but another question: I have 5 harddrives (including the SSD, so 4 HDD and 1 SSD I guess), and I use them for different things. One for storage, two for games (I have a LOT), one for programs that doesn't need to be on SSD, and the system disk - SSD. [12:18] systemfish: probably nothing, the card is supported on that driver. [12:18] makara_: what company did you buy the vps from? [12:18] How do I manage them in Ubuntu? [12:18] donc3: On the other hand, I know that you are not the only one with that AT/AMD AGP problem. So probably some people are working on a solution. [12:18] And do I need to reformat them? [12:18] hitsujiTMO, so it isn't even loading bash when I ssh in. What shell is sh then? [12:18] systemfish: 304 is not compatable with your card [12:18] hitsujiTMO>>thanx soooooooo much. LAst thing just to make sure. The "*`date +%Y%m%d`*" part ALWAYS evaluates today right? [12:19] dash [12:19] amazing :| [12:19] thx [12:19] Hi there. I was just trying to udate Flash using Firefox on an unpriviledged account. The Flash Website tries to hand me an .apt file, but the "save as" is missing in Firefox. [12:19] minimec: okay thx [12:19] donc3: no problem [12:20] johndude: yup [12:20] minimec: and which log file should I see when it happens another time? [12:20] hitsujiTMO>> thank you very much indeed [12:20] it might be dumb questions, but I'm still a linux noob :( [12:20] goldug>> you are not alone :) [12:20] :) [12:21] hitsujiTMO, weloveservers [12:21] Hinterhuber: flash isn't supported on linux anymore. there is no updates [12:21] goldug, fwiw, alienware offers an ubuntu laptop ... [12:21] I've "compiled" a number of distro's, but only while following guides 100%. [12:21] hitsujiTMO, $3.50 a month!!!! [12:21] donc3: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/syslog [12:21] cfhowlett, okay, nice :) [12:22] jitsujiTMO: I hope you are joking! [12:22] hitsujiTMO, w00t? No flash?!? [12:22] [sorry, got your name wrong] hitsujiTMO: I hope you are joking! [12:22] makara_: if they're giving you dash as the default shell, then its a bit strange. [12:23] Hinterhuber: nope. pepper plugin in chrome is the only officially endorsed plugin for linux now. [12:23] hitsujiTMO, I ain't complainin [12:23] makara_: btw, amazon aws have ones for free [12:24] omg [12:24] is there any skype like application for ubuntu, which can work on slow internet connection, i mean 2G GPRS connection === stephen is now known as Guest31417 [12:24] At least for audio calls [12:24] hitsujiTMO: Maybe Ubuntu does not support it anymore, but Adobe certainly is. They also provide an .apt (which I need to download and install) [12:24] makara_: do you actually get the 100mps bandwidth tho? [12:25] Video calls not required [12:25] Hinterhuber: you can use the "tab" key to complete a name (type "hit" and then the tab key) [12:25] Hinterhuber: no. adobe no longer support linux [12:25] anyways, gonna run away now. Wife is kicking my ass, going to buy a frame for some stupid painting... [12:25] Guest84394: Thanx! IRC is not my world. === amar is now known as Guest84694 [12:26] yw [12:26] hitsujiTMO: how to fill adobe pdf forms then [12:26] Guest84394, I did not know that either, thanks from me too :) [12:26] hitsujiTMO: i haven't seen any application which works well on adobe forms [12:26] kskdfmdkf: no idea [12:26] :) it works like in the terminal [12:26] do u know the alternative? [12:27] kskdfmdkf, install adobe reader using the software centre [12:27] Hinterhuber: read the yellow infox [12:27] Hinterhuber: read the yellow infobox here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect [12:27] hitsujiTMO, what the heck would I do with 100mps?? [12:28] i am on a edge connection, 15-20 Kb/s sometimes when load is nil 28-29 Kbps [12:28] i am facing frequent drops in skype calls [12:28] i know because connection is slow [12:28] makara_: torrent? vps? (i use 200mbs on my ds) [12:29] i am looking for alternative, which can work on slow internet connection, [12:29] there should be some application for ubuntu to serve that purpose [12:30] google voice is even worse than skype, skype can do some call but google require even high bandwidth [12:30] hitsujiTMO, I couldn't watch the movies fast enough when I downloaded through a 512kbps connection [12:30] i couldn't purchase 3G Plans, because they are too costly for me [12:31] Hinterhuber: There is in fact a 'workaround' for flash on linux... Some netflix developer is working on a plugin that brings you the windows Silverlight and Flash versions to Linux. That thing is called Pipelight. It is using wine, but integrates very well into the installed Browsers (Firefox/Chromium). I use that for Silverlight... http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html [12:31] kskdfmdkf, Google chat is probably your best option [12:31] !ekiga [12:31] ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [12:31] i didn't have any success with ekiga [12:31] makara_: for voice call? [12:32] kskdfmdkf, for video call. Sure. You need to setup some software. [12:32] chating is not a problem :D [12:32] makara_: i need audio only [12:33] video call not necesssary to me [12:33] kskdfmdkf, http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/install-google-talk-ubuntu-official-repository/ [12:34] hitsujiTMO: Okay, maybe my wording was wrong: I am trying to install the latest _security update_. They state that they backport these [12:34] hitsujiTMO: (And Firefox warns me that my current version is unsafe) [12:34] minimec: Thanks for your help - but this is way too awkward. :( [12:36] Hinterhuber: I agree that this is not a 'clean' solution, but I need that for Silverlight... [12:36] minimec: Thank god I don't need Silverlight. I already hate Flash more than enough [12:37] hi everybody .... do you know how to change a BIOS disk into an EFI disk?? [12:39] Hinterhuber: One of our telekom/tv providers here uses Silverlight DRM for TV encryption.. :( [12:39] what are the trendy stacking window managers nowadays? [12:40] Just got this error while upgrading: http://caftp.3owl.com/Downloads/Fail.png [12:40] Just uploaded that image, not really a good sign but it got trough the rest of the installation though. [12:41] Through* [12:41] What do you think? [12:41] Thanks anyone, I'm heading over to a Firefox channel, maybe they can help. [12:41] exit [12:42] ?* [12:42] No one? [12:43] CoolApps, I get a 404 on that url [12:43] http://caftp.3owl.com/Downloads/Fail.jpg [12:44] Did the file extension wrong... [12:44] CoolApps, I'm getting those warning daily for the last year.........I have no idea if it's benign [12:45] Maybe it is to do with the drivers which where added? -Pat [12:45] I did add the SD Card reader driver... [12:45] I guess it didn't do any harm really.... [12:46] CoolApps, mine seem to be related to TCP table switching; but I do have 3 SD card readers perma-plugged in, so perhaps that's it, I dunno [12:46] Strange... [12:46] CoolApps: read the log file, but it appears connected to the SD card reader [12:46] CoolApps: looks like dkms failed to build a module. look at /var/lib/dkms/rts_bpp/1.1/build/make.log [12:46] whats the stacking wm that auto stacks? [12:47] CoolApps: Did you check the mentioned log file in/var/lib/dkms/rts_bpp/1.1/build/make.log ? Do you have enough free space on your '/' partition? [12:47] Looking at it at the moment... [12:47] hello guys I need some help with my Amd dual Graphic Cards [12:48] This is the first error: error: unknown field ‘proc_info’ specified in initializer [12:48] initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default] [12:49] is it wmii?

(trying to install nvidia-current now) [12:50] can i install itunes be installed under ubuntu? [12:50] Looks like expected errors. [12:51] Proc_Info... [12:51] !itunes|Junka, [12:51] Junka,: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [12:51] Junka: try install it with wine, but I don't think you'll get all the functionality (unless itunes exists for linux9 [12:51] Maybe it is to do with previous attempts of installing drivers for that processor. [12:52] I wanna sync with the latest iphone [12:52] Wow, that bot is just all ready. :P [12:52] iPhone 5S? -Junka [12:52] y [12:53] will it work with wine? has anyone tested it?

See here: http://www.libimobiledevice.org/ [12:54] hello, why should i consider switching to ubuntu (from mac)? why is ubuntu (or linux in general) better than mac? [12:54] Yeah, I assume it is to do with the card reader driver... [12:54] maclu3, OR you just run ubuntu ON a mac [12:54] maclu3, If you're happy with mac, why switch ? :-) [12:54] !mac [12:54] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [12:54] MSRthelle, mass inbox mailer sounds like malware [12:55] maclu3, You don't need to switch anyway, just install Ubuntu in a VM and run it in a window on your desktop. See if you like it or not. [12:55] but i mean what are the arguments used to support the point that ubuntu is better? [12:56] maclu3, I dont understand the purpose of asking that. Try it, if you like it, switch over. If not, dont [12:56] maclu3, ^^^ [12:56] what he said [12:57] You will have to see yourself, there is A LOT of stuff which is useful in Ubuntu. - maclu3 [12:57] maclu3: the scope of this channel is support issues [12:57] so it's just a visual preference? like how it feels kinda thing.... that's it? [12:57] maclu3, explain to me why you prefer red to blue [12:57] maclu3, install it for yourself, see for yourself. No one here is going to sell you anything .. unlike the fruitstore [12:58] defend your selection of chocolate ice cream over strawberry [12:58] Well Ubuntu is advanced in ways but you can just avoid those advanced ways and use it has it is. - maclu3 [12:58] !mac [12:59] when I log in, some stuff is trying to install itself.. but can't be installed. Can I remove it from whatever "to install" list that seems to exist? (nvidia-173-updates seems to be the package.. and I don't need it). Error msg is: failed to install nvidia-.. [12:59] maclu3, If you want to PM me i can explain to you privately why *I* use linux but it's entirely subjective to me [12:59] ok i have installed the latest libimobiledevice, alla I need is a player like banshee? [13:00] quite surprised of responses actually. thought you people believed strongly in some real superiority of ubuntu (real, not look and feel) and would give strong arguments for it . guess not then :) [13:00] maclu3, so you're trying to instigate a debate? not interested. [13:00] "you people"? See that choice of words is inflamatory and why discussions like this are just politics [13:00] maclu3: once you give ubuntu a chance you will never look back... [13:00] !players [13:00] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [13:01] maclu3: ever heard of the phrase use the right tool for the right job? [13:01] just wanted to hear some arguments if there are any, that's all [13:01] hi everybody, someone can help me with a dualboot : boot repait repport here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387438/ [13:01] PM and I'll tell you why I use it [13:01] maclu3, do your own research [13:01] maclu3: this is a support channel. not a debating channel [13:01] Lets say that Ubuntu is more for the advanced users. maclu3 [13:01] maclu3, please don't poll in here, this is ubuntu support [13:02] me mentally adds "don't poll and don't troll" [13:02] Does anyone know if it's possible to access an existing shell/terminal on the same computer from another one? E.g. I have ssh'd into my development server but I want to access that existing SSH shell/connection from another shell (a local one)? [13:02] +1 - 0erHeks [13:03] Inedible: no you need to use screen or tmux for stuff like that [13:03] Inedible, what is your use case for that? [13:03] I have a Problem with my AMD Radeon HD 8650G / 8670M Dual GPU. Basically my Laptop only uses the Radeon HD 8650G and he doesnt even show the other Graphic card as a discrete graphic card. But all the tutorials on how to get Dual Graphics working indicate that the computer "knows" that there is another discrete graphic card and thats why they dont work for me. So I just want to ask if anybody knows how to get dual graphics working [13:03] in this Situation or at least how to use the AMD Radeon HD 8670M only . [13:03] hi again im in from my boot disc using the try ubuntu method [13:04] hitsujiTMO: The main reason I want to do this is to be able to access that shell from PHP eventually [13:04] Or hitsujiTMO could you enlighten me as to a typical use case for doing so? I've never encountered a situation like that [13:04] Inedible: if you ssh and start a screen session. you can pick that screen session up again later from the local terminal or from another ssh session [13:04] hitsujiTMO: i can see my ubuntu partition, how can i get it back to work? [13:04] hitsujiTMO: I actually already use screen but it doesn't solve my usecase [13:04] Inedible, Ca I ask why you would need shell from php? isn't that like, really dangerous and don't they provide alternatives to it? [13:05] from the try ubuntu version i can see and access both partitions, what can i do now? just install the boot - repair utility? [13:05] i am getting "omitting directory...." with this command.What am i doing wrong? find /media/sf_main/source -name "*`date +%Y%m%d`*" -exec cp -R /media/sf_main/backup {} \; [13:05] hitsujiTMO: The reason I need to be able to do what I need is so that I use the existing SSH connection to the remote server instead of opening one when I need to (I'll be accessing the existing shell from PHP eventually) [13:05] moppy: I need access to shell output from remote servers [13:06] guys I am running ubuntu and windows from same disk. Can I resize directly from Ubuntu windows partition in order to get some extra space ? [13:06] Inedible, they dont create log files? [13:06] Trudko, you can use gparted on the ubuntu live cd to resize windows [13:06] Trudko, yed but defrag+scandisk windows partition before [13:06] moppy: That won't solve the problem of needing to log in to read the log file [13:07] Inedible: is this by anychance for something like a minecraft server? [13:07] moppy: With one SSH connection, I could grab the information locally [13:07] hitsujiTMO: Nope, I'm grabbing data from a remote machine to display on a web page === mind0 is now known as ne0sis [13:07] maintenance, so can I do it directyl from running ubuntu ? [13:08] Inedible, OK if you can't fix the remote servers to operate in a secure way, I guess you are required to SSH into them [13:08] Hi! I have a GPT disk with bios_grub, I need to move the disk to efi_grub .... how do I do that? [13:08] hello lads and gals [13:08] How to I improve battery A LOT on Ubuntu? [13:08] moppy: The servers are secure - I just want to avoid the overhead of ssh logging in every time I click the reload button on the webserver [13:09] CoolApps, have you got Jupiter? [13:09] hi again help pls [13:09] !details|Giwrgaras_, [13:09] Giwrgaras_,: 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 ..." [13:09] i am new to linux just switched from windows as much as i love it im confused even more [13:09] Inedible, I understand if you aren't responsible for the remote servers and have to use them as given, that's fine.

[13:54] MarkDavis, ... you mean hard drive? [13:54] Yes, I think, cfhowlett. [13:54] MarkDavis, dude. be sure. [13:55] cfhowlett: to put the other way: I have two partitions. I want to know which partition is the main partition of Ubuntu. [13:55] MarkDavis: lol - but to answer your question use the commadn 'mount' [13:55] MarkDavis: the otput of that command will shouw you, where your / is mounted [13:55] that [13:55] cfhowlett: because the situation looks pretty crazy, I've formatted it and I've just checked that it... stills contains a lot of the old stuff. [13:56] that's your system partition [13:56] MarkDavis, assuming you are or did dual boot [13:56] yes, they were a dual boot [13:57] but I formatted one of the partitions [13:57] MarkDavis, as Benkinooby stated: mount [13:57] as in command, not verb ... [13:58] Yes, so it even contains the directories of the users from the previous installation. [13:58] cfhowlett: BTW, I use the words "drive", "discs" and "partitions" largely interchangeably. [13:58] MarkDavis, thus my confusion ... [13:59] /s/drive/drives [13:59] anyone here use plesk? [13:59] /dev/sda1 on / [14:01] I don't understand what's going on. Both the partitions contain a lot of the old stuff. How is it possible? [14:02] MarkDavis: whats the output of: lsblk [14:04] MarkDavis: well in that case, /dev/sda1 is your current system partition [14:04] And I want to delete one of them. But it seems that the dictionaries of current users are on the partition which is not the Ubuntu's main partition. [14:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6388015/ [14:04] what is in $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND [14:04] I can't get it to do anything [14:05] I'm guessing it's where u invoke it...

Is "it" /dev/sda5? and if so, how did you format it? [14:08] MarkDavis: ls -al / === Guest28214 is now known as JanDC [14:09] How do I enter the advanced welcome page when booting from an kubuntu iso? [14:09] Once I had yet another Linux and Ubuntu mounted it on a "media" directory. I don't exactly remember how the partition I had formatted had been called. But I told Ubuntu to format it when installing. [14:10] MarkDavis: so you want /dev/sda5 removed? [14:10] MarkDavis: ls -laR $HOME | grep "/media" [14:12] why am I getting this [ 21.262] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "NULL" inspite of a validated mode defined in my xorg.conf? [14:12] Benkinooby: I want to remove the partition which I can safely remove. But the partition which is the main one of Ubuntu has directories of previously defined users, not now. The second partition has the directories of currently defined users. [14:12] hitsujiTMO: It returns nothing. [14:12] MarkDavis: then nothing in your home directory is linking to that partition [14:13] MarkDavis: /dev/sda5 is the "other" partition of you want to get rid of that [14:14] MarkDavis: what makes you think that /home of your /media/foo partition is the actively used one? [14:15] I am not sure if it is "/home of /media/foo". But, as I already put it, the main partition of Ubuntu has users which has been never defined on it since installation. I've checked that my home folder contains the files I've got since the new installation. [14:17] MarkDavis: maybe ubuntu tried to be smart and did the following thing during install: oh, i see a previous ubuntu install, lemme copy those files into the new install so that the user can keep his files in the new install without all that backup-hasslpe [14:17] *hassle [14:18] #ubuntu-fr [14:19] !fr [14:19] Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

And I must have defined the users during the installation :D. [14:20] MarkDavis: but to keep things short - dev/sda5 is the one to delete [14:21] ok, so problem solved? [14:21] Yeah.

[15:07] minimec, why we have to reset bios, is this a bios problem [15:07] lachitha: it might be and since i am out of ideas right now, it's the best guess :P [15:08] lachitha: I had exactly the same problem once eith my Lenovo laptop and Bluetooth. A BIOS reset did it... [15:08] CyberGabber, no, i need to find the address of a router at a different location...my set up at home is wired without a router, so i can't even test the commands here, but at least i know what to do now [15:08] lachitha: the problem is: hardware block is a problem, that you can not solve with software (surprise!!!) === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [15:09] Benkinooby, why is that. in windows wifi works fine. this is problem with ubuntu [15:09] lachitha: so you either have to find a way outside the operating system (BIOS) or find the correct hardware switch (seems like your fn+f8 is not a hard-wired switch but something that has to be run by your keyboard driver) [15:10] lachitha: what laptop model do you use? [15:10] im using toshiba l500D [15:10] Benkinooby: maybe NdisWrapper ? [15:10] lachitha: ok. i'll see if i find somethign for that. but until then, resetting the bios settings is a fair guess [15:10] pacy: wrong problem :P [15:11] Benkinooby, ok i will reset the bios [15:11] Benkinooby: wrong solution :P [15:11] pacy: fair enough [15:11] pacy: although i wonder what you're doing in this channel though... :P [15:12] pacy: maybe #wireless will suit your solutions better :D [15:13] Benkinooby: i should probably just wander around my city asking people if they need help with their wifi :) [15:13] hello [15:13] pacy: that [15:13] how do i print to an HP printer?

[15:37] Hello, I need some help here :) [15:37] hi :) [15:37] Hello charpandnl I'm having some issues with the Ubuntu installation [15:37] I've just succesfully configured pam_usb with a usbdevice to login [15:37] nvm :p [15:38] a c'mon :P [15:38] tell me [15:38] what's the issue :) [15:38] So I got this dedicated server from ShardGaming [15:38] but I think they didn't set the network up right [15:38] Because in the IPMI panel, the hostname is blank and it says I'm not allowed to edit it. [15:39] mmm [15:39] is there a way to dump the trash from the command line? [15:39] And Ubuntu asks for a hostname, I just made one up for the time being [15:39] I don't know the service Shardgaming provides, [15:39] This is for the Ubuntu server though, am I right? [15:39] Which config file do we edit to automatically mount Windows partition? [15:39] but it seems you do not have root rights? [15:39] what the heck i can do when apt-get gives unmet dependecies? i tried the offers in askubuntu.com [15:40] I can do a lot of stuff. I can mount ISO's and stuff [15:40] but I can't really edit hardware settings [15:40] tried $ sudo nano /etc/hostname [15:40] I'm installing Ubuntu right now with a random hostname, can that cause complications in the future? [15:40] hamedk: can you pastebin the full error you're getting? [15:40] yeats: sure [15:41] Ivann, in my opinion not, 'cause you'll be running services, [15:41] a hostname only refers as indication, just like DomainNames are easier than IP [15:41] Ok [15:41] But still it's an issue right? [15:42] I have no domain linked to the server right now, but if I do can I specify the sub-domain as hostname? [15:42] and when you're setting up an mailserver or something, you'll need to edit the config for those correctly, [15:42] Or a webserver? Because I'm planning on running that on there [15:42] but the system hostname is only handy for users to see where the are atm [15:42] Ok [15:43] Yeah mail, web, db... all the same ;) [15:43] Oh god, so that needs the advanced network configuration? [15:43] yeats: http://pastebin.com/7k0v3EuX [15:43] and ofcourse, hostnames can be used for lots of things, but the are not critical to set once, you can always change it [15:44] ok [15:44] hamedk: do 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get -f install' [15:44] Thanks for the help man :) [15:44] yeats : didn't work [15:44] np! [15:44] hamedk: same error? [15:44] now mine ;) [15:44] I'm a linux noob :3 [15:45] hi again [15:45] I configured usb-auth succesfull, but now I want to let the Gnome-keyring to disappear on logon, without clearing the pw ;) [15:45] how can I show all columns except the 2 last with awk ? [15:45] with '{$NF=""; print $0}' I get all columns except last one; but I want from first one to (last-2) [15:45] gheghe :P [15:45] you'll learn quickly Ivann [15:46] Ivann you were once a windows or mac beginner too [15:46] sar_A: try $(NF-2) to specify the second to last [15:46] True MonkeyDust [15:47] yeats: update says: E: Some index files failed to download.

[15:50] !nomodeset | dynamism you mean this [15:50] dynamism you mean this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [15:51] hamedk: The medibuntu repository doesn't exist anymore. Remove this repo from your sources...

[15:52] hamedk: check /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d [15:52] charpandnl, can I setup raid after the installation is done? [15:52] MonkeyDust: maybe. It has to be !nomodeset, not nomodeset? [15:53] dynamism open the link and follow the instructions, you'll see [15:53] Ivann, that's possible I think, but I'm not experienced with RAID, so don't base this decision on my words [15:53] Ok [15:54] yeats: in sources.list no medibuntu , should i delete the file in sources.list.d folder?

But my grub commands look almost completely different than the ones in this thread. [16:00] MonkeyDust: for one thing, it references /casper for linux and initrd. Is that related? [16:01] yeats: http://pastebin.com/p1vZc0fy [16:01] dynamism not sure, i've never had this issue myself [16:02] hamedk: I would assume your package installation will work until you have a successful 'sudo apt-get update' - did you resolve the bad signature issue?

'normal' would bring the default rotation back. === Dinosaur is now known as CookieNinja [17:03] ah looks like its not integrated into the server [17:03] solars: LVDS1 may be different with your device. Check 'xrandr' for the available devices. [17:04] does anyone care to help installing and configuring postfix on 12.04 can anyone help please [17:04] adej: what's not clear ? [17:05] what is my best option to upload a zip file to a remote pc where i have ftp&shell access and unzip it there? [17:07] johndude: 'scp' secure copy, then login via ssh and unzip... I guess I would do that. [17:08] When I connect my laptop to an additional screen and turn it on in the display settings I get the following error: "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files". Any ideas on how to make it working? === silent is now known as Guest55676 [17:09] minimec: thanks a lot, I think I'll bind it to a key, yeah [17:09] minimec>> any sample codes on that you know? [17:09] minimec, ok one more thing I noticed, right now if I use the touch display, it doesn't recognize scrolling/swiping of course - is it possible to configure this somehow? [17:10] solars: You could even do a script with if.. else... Then touching the launcher would alwys perform the action you want. LIke if 'inverted', then set 'normal', otherwise set 'inverted' [17:11] hi guys, I noticed a text-to-speech application starts up when I get at my login screen. It's very loud and obnoxious.. Any idea how I can disable it? [17:11] solars: http://www.dreamsyssoft.com/unix-shell-scripting/ifelse-tutorial.php [17:11] hey after updating my internal mic. no longer works, i've tried traditional fixes but none of them are working [17:11] solars: Something loke that... [17:12] minimec, yeah the script is no problem I'll just write a toggle [17:12] minimec: but do you know about the scrolling problem? [17:14] solars: No idea about that 'scrolling' problem. [17:14] alright, thanks :) [17:15] solars: no problem. [17:16] Can I override fdisk, where I have to start at sector 2048? [17:16] you can start where you want [17:16] ikonia: It won't let me choose sector 1 [17:17] hi guys, I noticed a text-to-speech application starts up when I get at my login screen. It's very loud and obnoxious.. Any idea how I can disable it? [17:17] Shinobi: why ? === eugene is now known as Guest11512 [17:18] Whop: i don't, but conceivably that's accessibility-related, so look at your accessibility settings [17:19] FixUbuntu: I tried looking at Universal Access.. But I haven't found the culprit yet. Are there other places to look? [17:20] Whop, sorry, i don't really know. i use Kubuntu only. i just thought maybe "accessibility" could be a useful hint [17:20] hi everybody! [17:20] FixUbuntu: All right, thanks for the help anyway. I'll have a loko under startup applications and see if I can find it. :) === ken is now known as Guest17578 [17:21] Whop: uhm, not sure because i think those are run *after* you're past the login screen [17:21] question, when setting ptr record, do you set the host or the fqdn? [17:21] FixUbuntu : Yeah, I think you're right. Nothing showed up. So I'll just post to the ubuntu forums and cross my fingers :) [17:22] I formatted a disk using GPT for installing Ubuntu. Once I installed Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit, I left one 80GB partition for emergencies. Now, I need to intall MS Windows 7 for a short while to run a model, and when I try to install it in the 80GB partition it says that I cannot install MS Windows on a GPT disk .... do I have to reformat everything and loose my installtion or is there an alternative? Anyone who did something similar? [17:23] ikonia: I have an old partition starting on block 1, and I need to fix that partition table. [17:23] Any way to manually adjust the partition table? [17:24] Shinobi fdisk, parted etc [17:26] XLV: I can't start a partition a sector 1, is there an option for this? [17:27] I don't recall this being an issue before [17:29] Shinobi: does it want to start at 2048? if so, that's "normal" (though, SOME of my drives do start at 1). [17:30] zykotick9: It's an old drive with an old partition setup. The first part is starts on block 1. I have to reset the part table, but fdisk is forcing a start on 2048. I'm checking out parted now. [17:31] Shinobi: fyi, fdisk is the WORST choice for partitioning (at least according to "man fdisk") [17:34] Shinobi: you cna use gdisk, it is pretty good [17:34] hello all.. :-) [17:39] hi, im using ubuntu 13.10, in my network manger, mobile broadband devices detected. bt cannot connect to Internet. hence i have to use like sakis3g software. can you help me to solve this [17:40] hi all, i need some help, is there a way to get flash to stay full screen on a dual monitor display when the monitor does not have focus, i have trid to exit with ghex edit, it worked befor for a few days but since package update quite working, have tried the flash maximize plugin but is not the esiest way to get out of full screen when the flash player has been maximized . I am on 12.04. can someon assist [17:40] how can i uninstall programs in ubuntu? [17:40] where is the control panel? [17:41] Nvs: use software-center [17:41] Nvs: why would you need control panel? [17:41] nvs: the left size that big thingg down the side , look for software center [17:42] nvs: the icon looks like a shopping bag [17:42] Whoever: what browser are you using? [17:42] ActionParsnip: ff [17:42] Whoever: is it the same in Chrome? [17:42] nvs: did that solve it for you [17:43] ok I ran into a minor announce. I can't get autocorrect to work in libre office. please helpt [17:43] yes thanks im looking there [17:43] ActionParsnip: no crome doesn't use the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOw arg [17:43] Nvs: or search in Dash. I assume you are using Unitt shell [17:43] annoyance [17:43] yes [17:43] i find unity very good [17:43] i dont know why so people say that this is crap [17:43] Whoever: i see [17:43] its like windows [17:44] hi, after messing around with the balance and such my mic does work with skype call testing service but not any other application/browser [17:44] Nvs: no single solution suits all. Its part of the human condition [17:44] nvs: you mean win-bloz :-) [17:45] Nvs: i find running a desktop environment a waste and use only OpenBox as standalone window manager [17:45] never heard of it [17:45] ActionParsnip you're a geek [17:46] lol [17:46] MonkeyDust: i like stability [17:46] i see some cool picts of it thought [17:46] nvs, unity is very different from windows. there is a hell alot more customization then windows and the unity tool bar is amazing. and the window snap in unity is epic. real downer is its a pain to get pc games that was made specificly for windows to run as well on it. so I dualbooted. still though. windows 7 was probably the only good os microsoft ever made [17:46] Nvs: do some research on it. Youll see :-) [17:46] ActionParsnip: i think he's new to the whol !m$ experience [17:47] Michael_87: i hate that snap windows thing in any OS. Drives me nuts [17:47] why use this minimalistic thing instead of ubuntu? [17:47] ActionParsnip, to each there own. but damn hot corners come in handy on ubuntu XD === map is now known as Guest61157 [17:48] Nvs: because it doesnt use Compiz which I find completely intollerable and crashes and does all kinds of stupid stuff. OpenBox and FluBox development is much more active and i have fewer issues [17:49] Nvs: its still Ubuntu [17:49] like ubuntu without crashes? ubuntu tends to work well until it goes to hell and you have to reinstall everything. at least thats my eperience [17:49] ActionParsnip: i gotta question FB's "active" development status ;) [17:50] my mobile broadband not working in ubuntu 13.10 [17:50] Nvs: https://db.tt/wv3FcIag fun [17:50] anyone know how to activate libreoffices autocorrect. pain in the ass [17:51] it has some cool skins [17:51] Lachitha: if you run: lsusb ,use the 8 character hex id to find guides [17:51] nvs: it is still ubuntu, and linux , the only difference is that withe linux and unix you can change the DE or WM and it is still linux , you just changing how your desktop looks [17:52] so its an ubuntu program? [17:52] I need help install Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu 13.10 pereinstalled. I formatted a disk using GPT for installing Ubuntu. Once I installed Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit, I left one 80GB partition for emergencies. Now, I need to intall MS Windows 7 for a short while to run a model, and when I try to install it in the 80GB partition it says that I cannot install MS Windows on a GPT disk .... do I have to reformat everything and loose my installtion or [17:52] is there an alternative? Anyone who did something similar? [17:52] ActionParsnip, actually friend network manger was detecting my usb dongle, bt can't connect with that [17:53] nvs: no , it is linux, here is what you are failing to see [17:53] Zykotick9: fluxbox 3.5.1 was released in Feb 2013 :-) [17:53] Is there any one-liner for installing .deb files from a known url? (no .deb file afterwards) [17:53] so its a linux os [17:54] Nvs: its a window manager, you will probably be using (crappy) compiz for all the eye candy and wobby windows [17:54] ActionParsnip: hummmm, my bad then ;) i didn't think they'd updated in a LONG time, i was wrong. [17:54] Nvs: its not a separate OS. [17:54] nvs: ubuntu, kubuntu, archlinux , gentoo , etc... are all linux distros and they all can use the same software , just the only difference you may see is the extention of the file [17:54] so i can put this on my ubuntu? and make it look pretty like that? [17:54] ive found some fantastic skins on that [17:54] I have a laptop with a broken left pointer button that keeps clickin* by itself. I've been tryin* to fi*ure out a way to map the caps lock to the left mouse button and disable the real mouse button. [17:55] nvs: You can get many ideas from customization on the Internet, there are plenty of artwork pages :) [17:55] Nvs: if you want, sure [17:55] ActionParsnip, can you do something for my problem [17:55] nvs on what did ubuntu crash? [17:56] Found lots of confusin* instructions via *oo*le, which accomplished nothin* except make a letter on my keyboard not work, which I replace with a star in this conversation... [17:56] nvs: depending what skins you have you may have a problem when you do an upgrade as to wheathr the skin still works without repeating previouse steps you did to get it working in the first place [17:56] mostly after installing lenses [17:56] oh, lenses.. [17:56] Lachitha: all i suggest is use the 8 charcter id. You'll find guides [17:56] then graphic card issues with my ati 4something [17:57] mostly lenses to be honest [17:57] nvs i guess lenses are the most hated part of ubuntu [17:57] theyre god damn usefull [17:57] grex25: dpkg -i <(curl -s http://....deb) might work [17:57] very clever idea if only it worked and they made lenses on everything [17:58] geirha: I will try, ty [17:58] grex25: Ah no, I tested it, it apparently needs to seek in the file, so you really need a file on disk [17:59] any chance with dpkg - i | wget .... ? [17:59] grex25: No, a pipe is not seekable either [17:59] Shinobi uefi motherboard? [18:00] Shinobi uefi needs a small partition in the start of hdd for its needs [18:00] grex25: If you download it to /tmp, you don't have to worry about removing it afterwards, since /tmp gets wiped during boot anyway [18:00] geirha: then the long 3 line way =) [18:00] Nvs if you have a radeon 4xxx gpu you will need the legacy ppa for the driver [18:00] how can i grep->> grep "string from file for search" filename, dont have graphics nor copypaste [18:01] geirha: yep, so 2 [18:01] grex25: Well, you can have more than one command on a line [18:01] geirha: wget a.deb; dpkg -i a.deb [18:02] cannot connect with mobile broad band [18:03] geirha: does writing/reading fromto /tmp need root? [18:03] grex25: no [18:03] grex25: or write a custom command. E.g. install() { local dir=$(mktemp -d); wget -O "$dir/f.deb" "$1" && sudo dpkg -i "$dir/f.deb"; rm -rf "$dir"; }; [18:03] Lachitha: did you try my suggestion? [18:04] im new to ubuntu. can u clearly mention that [18:05] lachitha: When you plug your MB pen it should pop in the network applet, in order to configure it [18:05] grex25: then install http://url/foo.deb though install is probably not the best name, since there's a common command named install already, but maybe dpkgi [18:06] geirha: callling dpkgi(http://abcd/a.deb) ? [18:06] lachitha, " network manger was detecting my usb dongle, bt can't connect with that" > backtrack ? [18:06] Ok folks, I have been in the ALSA irc and the PulseAudio irc and apparently they point the finger at each other when it comes down to this HDMI issue having no output or not being listed in either audio package. My audio worked fine until I did a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10 and now there are issues with no HDMI out. To me one or the other or both audio packages are not working with 13.10. So where does the end user go from [18:06] here???? [18:06] grex25: No, a function in bash defines a new command, so you "call" it just like you run other commands. cmdname arg1 arg2 ... [18:06] my ubuntu 13.10 is not mounting my Android phone... Windows does mount it, how can I diagnose why? === terry is now known as Guest47084 === xirre_ is now known as xirre [18:07] I am getting the error "unable to locate package Apache2" on 11.04- does a apt-get update resolve this? [18:08] dox 11.04 is EOL you might want to upgrade to a supported version [18:08] yeah, FOG works better on 11.04 apparently [18:08] dox: 11.04 is no longer supported. The repositories have been taken down by now, you won't be able to use APT. [18:08] ill give it a whirl on 13 anyways [18:09] Lachitha: if you run 'lsusb' in a terminal you will see an 8 character hex ID. Use it to find guides. Like I said when you first asked, so I know you didnt follow advice given [18:10] Tomastro: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload [18:11] Hi Action, Haven tried that yet hang on. Thanks for replying [18:11] everything is in its olderst version in the software center [18:11] Bauer1: if you instal openssh-server you can use andftp and transfer files using sftp over wifi easily :-) [18:11] how can i easily get the newest versions of programs? [18:11] ActionParsnip: i am still having the same problem in chome [18:12] Nvs: why do you need newer versions? What packages are 'old'? [18:12] eclipse, netbeans, ajunta [18:12] why do i need the older versions and not the newer ones? [18:12] Nvs: what are in the newer versions that you need so badly? [18:12] ActionParsnip: if i make the video full screen , then navigate away from the video the video will go back to the default size [18:13] nvs: Ubuntu is stable. They don't update packages to the latest versions just because they are there, they use versions which are tested and work well with this specific version of Ubuntu. You can look for PPAs if you wish. [18:13] ActionParsnip: and i am using the chrome flash extention [18:13] Whoever: could try minitube as a workaround [18:13] so the safest place to get things is the software center? [18:13] Nvs: yes [18:13] nvs: But those are not officially supported, may break your system or just not work [18:13] nvs: Certainly, the software in the Centre is tested by Ubuntu developers after all [18:13] nvs: the newest is bleeding edge and may or maynot have bugs [18:13] Nvs: what is in the newer versions of those applications that you need so badly? [18:13] so maybe thats the reason i had so many crashes in the past [18:14] along with some untested lenses maybe [18:14] ActionParsnip: is that an ext or a www [18:14] Whoever: its a standalone youtube player, doesnt need flash :-) [18:14] That's a new one for me. Well it apparently uploaded info to Alsa [18:14] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ecbcde4ed5874b18b8c18ea54d85ce7033287134 [18:15] Nvs: would you kindly answer my simple question. [18:15] ActionParsnip: thx [18:15] will give it a shot [18:15] ActionParsnip, why would you want the older version of everything? [18:15] if you could have something old and something new what would you choose? [18:15] Nvs: because its tried and tested and works and is solid [18:15] of course because it may contain new features and solve older problems of the program [18:16] Nvs: i se you are one of those "newer is better" fools [18:16] nvs: also, new bugs and regressions [18:16] ActionParsnip: may i pm you ? [18:16] Nvs: but for your needs, the newer version may not offer you anything at all [18:16] nvs: Replace 'old and 'new' with 'windows 7' and 'windows 8'. What would you choose ;) [18:16] Whoever: sure [18:16] Nvs: but all you see is a version number which is a bogus policy [18:17] Nvs: if the version you have does what you need, why fix it? [18:17] Nvs: makes no sense [18:17] because i dont have it on the first place [18:17] and you dont make sense [18:17] Action Here is a paste bin of the info also [18:17] http://pastebin.com/Mwhwvwxw [18:17] afterall you should stick with an old os that is the safest of all [18:17] Nvs: then try testing it, then see if the version is too old. [18:17] with such a logic [18:18] software is meant to be constantly updated, renew etc [18:18] ActionParsnip: lol, that is a fast workaround, thanks :) installing... [18:18] why stick with the old ones? [18:18] unity panel stopped working, what should I do? [18:18] Nvs: it makes absolute sense. The version from a year ago does exactly what I need but there is a 'new' version so I MUST upgrade. Is that how you think? [18:19] NVS imo If it ain't brok don't fixit... lol [18:19] of course not [18:19] you check if it has features that you like [18:19] or its a useless one like the new ubuntu 13.10 that contain no new cool features [18:19] and eye candy [18:20] Nvs: but you just said the versions are old, which may be true, but what Im saying is the version may do exactly what you need, thus mooting the version number [18:20] yeah sure thing [18:20] but if you dont upgrade youre missing the fun of it and the progress that goes with it [18:21] all updates are there for a reason [18:21] nvs: the feature are more of seamless integrateion betwween tablet/desctop/notbook , but your right there are no features that you will notice [18:21] Nvs: so 'old' is irelevant, so critisizing it is dumb without testing. [18:21] ActionParsnip: On the other hand, there shouldn't be anything wrong with using latest versions of most daily use software imho [18:21] ActionParsnip: you have been pm'd [18:21] Nvs: the updates may nit affect you [18:22] you can choose i agree with what you said that you could check the feautres, but not to stick with the old stuff [18:22] Nvs: if it works, why employ effort to fix what isnt broken [18:22] therazr: perhaps you unfamiliar with dependencies... [18:22] and sometimes updates may not contain eye candy but contain system stability improvements [18:22] therazr not quite... did you see !latest factoid? [18:22] !latest [18:22] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [18:22] and thats even better [18:22] nvs build packages yourself if you really want the latest, and do the debugging too. [18:22] Hi. How can I create a Desktop launcher that will open terminal and immediately run another program ? [18:23] (in unity) [18:23] Nvs: excessive eyecandy is distracting and imposes higher systen requirements. [18:23] DrDittersdorf: gnome-terminal -e 'command' [18:23] DrDittersdorf: ...is the command. Create the launcher as usual. [18:23] sure thing but as i said. software is to be constantly updated [18:23] its never good enough [18:23] MonkeyDust zykotick9 Actually I wasn't opposing to the use of PPAs, as for the main, official repos, they are good as they are now imho [18:23] its never stable enough, never clever enough, never pretty enough [18:24] theadmin: thanks. I don't have create launcher on right click ... [18:24] It's Unity [18:24] nvs: i think your are too new to the linux experience to be makeing some of the statements that you are, but at least your learning [18:24] Action: still reading my info here. That is a pretty helpful script. [18:24] Nvs: it is updated, but packages with significant issues and gains will be attended more than redundant eye candy and simply because a new version is out [18:24] therazr yes, but ppas's can from anyone anywhere, without being screened or controlled [18:24] can come* [18:25] theadmin: what i'm asking is actually how to create a launcher... I know in gnome it's easy [18:25] Nvs: ubuntu packaging doesnt work like that [18:25] DrDittersdorf: Well, you can create a .desktop files as follows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6389499/ [18:25] nothing like a projection to really lead to disappointment [18:26] MonkeyDust: I know that, but I try to stay to "trusted" PPAs, from known devs or like that. And if I need a newer version of a software, I don't see why wouldn't I use them [18:26] Drdittersdorf: if you copy one of the files in ~/.configure/autostart and edit it, you can make one as you desire [18:26] ActionParsnip: Good idea. will try that [18:27] there is an auto start gui in ubuntu I think [18:27] Drdittersdorf: put it in /usr/share/applications it will appear in Dash [18:27] nice. thanks [18:28] \identify qais81 [18:28] anyone got an idea how to fuix my hdmi audio? every 12 sec i hear a high pitched noise :o [18:28] is the parition table stored on block 0? [18:29] Nusuey: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [18:30] Guys, what about the problem in 13.10 with language switching? I still cant switch with left Alt-Shift, unless I switch using the icon with the mouse, at least once... [18:31] Bauer1: Yeah, is a bug. [18:31] Bauer1: Known issue, made me downgrade to 12.04 because it's annoying. [18:31] ActionParsnip: thank for the good idea. it's just perfect [18:32] Drdittersdorf: you can now configure systems in that way via SSH too :-) [18:32] theadmin: wow, its KNOWN, and not considered high priority at all? [18:32] Bauer1: But you can probably use a third-party layout switching tool, like gxneur [18:32] ActionParsnip: LOL got it [18:32] #join zlatana zeubi [18:33] Bauer1: (is in the repos, saying "third-party" because it's not part of Ubuntu eh) [18:33] Hello. Is it possible to get a list of all services that starts on boot? [18:34] Bauer1 find the package name, then contact the maintainer [18:34] Action: anything make sense in that upload of information? [18:35] hi I am trying to set up a clickpad with synclient but although i do any configuration the clickpad behavior does not change, is there anything that may be overriding my config? [18:35] Tomastro: if you run: alsamixer ,are all levels maxed and unmuted? [18:35] Bauer1: Well, *some* progress is there, earlier Alt+Shift wouldn't work at all [18:35] Yep [18:36] Tomastro: use F6 to select the right device for output, do the same in the sound app in Dash [18:36] RePOX. Check this out for your services [18:36] Hi All, I have an installation of Ubuntu server 13.04 running remotely in a datacenter with no KVM or anything attached to it. I'd like to do a fresh install of Ubuntu desktop 13.10. Is there a way I can do it remotely? [18:36] http://askubuntu.com/questions/57909/how-do-you-get-a-list-of-all-starting-services [18:36] ----->> http://askubuntu.com/questions/57909/how-do-you-get-a-list-of-all-starting-services [18:37] Juken: you can upgrade to 13.10 online then install a DE if you like [18:37] theadmin: well, but I have no idea how to find the correct package name responsible for the broken functionality... [18:37] ActionParsnip: I'd like to go with a fresh install, this guy has 7 or 8 GPUs in it and I'd like to start fresh to get the drivers and everything working correctly. [18:38] NuSuey: its a simple terminal command [18:38] Juken: then you will need a smarthands to get the disk put in and such [18:38] Action ..give me a minute.. need to reboot [18:39] ActionParsnip: I'm guessing you mean a person onsite :) [18:39] Juken: yes [18:39] ActionParsnip: Alright, thanks [18:39] Have you seen this? ------>http://askubuntu.com/questions/203301/how-to-safely-upgrade-from-an-older-ubuntu-version-to-a-newer-one [18:40] minimec:are you still there? [18:40] But it would be best to have someone on site there to do this. [18:40] !seen minimec [18:40] I have no seen command [18:40] ubottu: have a seen command u bad boy [18:40] hamedk: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:40] hamedk: yup [18:42] minimec: i just got home. how can i disable 3rd party repositories, it says dl.google..... has some problems in apt-get update [18:42] Ok Action I almost missed the last post to me I'll that again and see what happens === loulou is now known as votre_pseudo [18:43] Tomastro: use F6 to set the output device in alsamixer [18:43] Tomastro: also do the same in sound application in Dash === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away === votre_pseudo is now known as loulou [18:44] hamedk: check for Software & Sources in the dash. Other way is to remove the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d or the line in /etc/apt/sources.list. Similar as before with medibuntu... [18:44] Bauer1: It's starting to look like releasing 13.10 on schedule came at the expense of several problems not being fixed yet. [18:44] hamedk: Were you able to solve the 'mysql-server' problem. [18:44] minimec: no === deego` is now known as deego [18:45] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l [18:45] hamedk: Ok. Let's fix that one too. [18:46] where to start buddy? [18:47] Nusuey: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.config/pulse; rm -r ~/.pulse* [18:47] hamedk: First remove the repo that gives you errors. then 'sudo apt-get update'. [18:47] Nusuey: wait 10 seconds and reboot [18:47] ActionParsnip: did that help you somehow? :o no clue how to fix the issue.. [18:47] (lag) [18:47] ok going to reboot === juki is now known as loadid_czech [18:48] Just as I figured. Still no HDMI selection anymore in Sound as it was in earlier versions. I tried F6 again just to see if it would stick, but all I have in sound Output is Digital Output (S/PDIF) - Built-in Audio and Analog Output - Built-in Audio; and Input Just the USB Mic and My AverTV card. [18:49] I have tried all the options undr F6 and no change to sound === minuswell_ is now known as minuswell [18:49] Well at least HDMI showing back up [18:49] Tomastro: try under sound app in dash [18:49] Yep and no HDMI options [18:50] ActionParsnip: still got the issue :o every ~ 12 sec.. [18:50] TomAstro: what's your graphics card? [18:51] Built in GeForce 7050 PV/nForce 630a. It is what I have had all along. === dimitris is now known as Guest86626 [18:52] What still baffles me is that all the versions before including Susse worked fine. [18:53] TomAstro: So now you don't have HDMI audio output from your card? [18:53] mininec: how to fix this: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise/partner i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-i386_Packages) [18:54] i'm so stupid duplicate lines in source.list, yep? [18:55] This system had a custom version of Susse on it but they do not support the product anymoe so I went to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I was good until I decided to try a fresh install of 13.10. Guess I should have followed my own advice. If it is not brok don't fix it. [18:55] No rAZR [18:56] Hamedk: comment the partner repo out in /etc/apt/sources.list [18:56] Hamedk: sounds like you have a list file already defining it [18:56] Apparently 13.10 does not like this hardware [18:56] hamedk: the same way. 'software & sources' or in the file /etc/apt/sources.list. Put a '#' in front of the lines you DON'T want to use. MY /etc/apt/sources.list file would look like that... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6389655/ [18:57] Tomastro: Precise is also LTS so suported long after Saucy is EOL [18:57] TomAstro: These hardware issues mostly get fixed by kernel updates throughout the cycle of the release [18:57] TomAstro, what is the exact hw problem? [18:58] hamedk: Also I see, that you did not clean the /var/lib/apt folder, like I mentioned before... [18:58] What has changed from all the older versions to 13.10 that broke the audio which was quite fragile in the first place? [18:58] ActionParsnip: Normal releases are there for being used. We shouldn't use LTSs as excuses for bugs that exist in the other ones [18:58] minimec: how do you see that???? [18:59] hamedk: Magic ;) [18:59] hamedk: 17:39 minimec : hamedk: Take it easy... We will fix it ;) Follow that post and rename the files and folders in /var/lib/apt --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1983220&s=4122322b46163862b7973acf6c75921c&p=11958892#post11958892 [18:59] I can see many HDMI Output issues just building up in the forums since this release. [18:59] Hello [19:00] TomAstro, is the audio builtin to the motherboard? [19:00] ActionParsnip: are you still here? :) [19:00] minimec: your magic sucks this time :P i really did this :D [19:01] minimec: update without any error finally! [19:01] I have an old problem with my Atheros AR9285 on my Ubuntu 12.04, the problem is that I should be within 3 meters range from the router in order to be able to connect wifi. [19:01] In Short, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 after running 12.04, No upgrade, A clean drive and install. And No more HDMI or Digital Surround 5.1 and up output anymore. I have been at this since the Thursday release of 13.10 [19:01] hamedk: magic! ;) [19:01] Here is a detailed forum post about my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2134419.html [19:01] minimec: just executed the install -f , still mysql-server sucks [19:02] And yes the audio is on the board. [19:02] TomAstro, is the audio chipset builtin or replacable? [19:02] hamedk: so you did "sudo apt-get -f install" [19:02] Never had issues though [19:02] ok [19:02] minimec: so you can lower my degree of stupidity ! [19:02] yes i did it [19:03] hamedk: I do not consider you as stupid. Why should I? [19:03] I dd a MBR on my drive and copied what fdisk showed as the parition table. I'm trying to restore this in a vm, but when I dd the MBR to the VM drive the fdisk output doesn't match the fdisk output of the source. Anyone know why this would be? [19:03] So.. anyone know how can I solve my issue with the HDMI audio doing some high pitched noise every ~ 10 - 12 sec? [19:03] TomAstro, do you have any options to add on another sound card? [19:03] I've asked this here before, but it wouldn't hurt to have a second opinion. I have a HP ENVY dv6 Notebook PC with windows 8. Last time I tried turning secure mode off and dual booting ubuntu, the secured mode being off (as least the best buy rep told me that tends to cause issues) after a time, glitched my windows 8 partition. [19:03] minimec: cause i lost my file over libreoffice and when I wanted to install foremost for trying to get it recovered faced with this error! [19:03] hello i have connected my iphone via bluetooth to my computer in order to play music through my computers speakers. it is connected but when i play music through the phone no sound comes through. in the sound setting for input i have slected my iphone however and the input level shows sound but nothing is heard. i know my speakers are working however because i can play pandora on my computer. can anybody tell me how to get my phone audible thr [19:03] ough the computers speakers? [19:03] would love eternally .. anyone who would help me fix it === peter is now known as Guest7563 [19:03] :p [19:04] hamedk: Can you install other software, or does apt prevent you to install. Try sudo 'apt-get install gdebi' [19:04] Think old-style NES glitches, that's sort of what it looked like. I couldn't load into windows. Is there a way I can dual boot without turning secured mode off? [19:04] wjtaylor, Why the dd on a mbr they are easy to load for a boot? [19:04] I have one pci and one pci e . [19:04] minimec: no it doesn't let me do anything with apt-get [19:05] TomAstro, at least thats two ways to solve the problem [19:05] Not looking to replace hardware due to something that changed with the software. I'll just pull all my work and go back to 12.04 before i do that. [19:06] Happy Birthday everyone! [19:06] With all the pastebin info I posted I would think that a Dev would have picked up on this by now. The posts are mounting all over the forums on this HDMI issue. [19:07] hamedk: Now I know, that you probably have to move/delete a file, but I have to remember which one... Let me think a moment. [19:07] GuybrushThreepwo, have you been using the fast boot with ubuntu dualbooted? [19:07] wilee-nilee: wasn't sure i could put a linux mbr on a windows drive... [19:07] TomAstro, what does your dmesg say about the audio? That might be useful for deciding if it's a kernel issue or an alsa issue [19:08] wjtaylor: harddrives are OS agnostic === loulou is now known as _laurent [19:08] I had a Ubuntu update, then after Mozilla would no longer play flash (youtube, vimeo, etc.) I have a very old AGP video card that only uses an old version of libflashplayer.so, which I keep down graded. Where could I look to unblock flash? [19:08] Thank you. [19:09] Nvidia, btw [19:09] wjtaylor, This a msdos ntfs not a uefi gpt ntfs? [19:09] fx5200 [19:09] hamedk: ok. 'sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-old', then sudo apt-get update again... [19:09] Hang on Comestan, Let me post the Links [19:09] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ecbcde4ed5874b18b8c18ea54d85ce7033287134 [19:10] ThinkT510: Kind of dos mbr is different than what I use today.. it may be the same at some deeper level that I don't know [19:10] wjtaylor, If it is just a windows OS you would use its mbr loaded with its recovery or install disc if it using the mbr. [19:10] Associatex: your CPU may not support the features needed for new flash [19:10] http://pastebin.com/Mwhwvwxw [19:10] wilee-nilee: It's a Win2k NTFS part [19:10] ActionParsnip, it was working last night. [19:10] All the system info is listed in the two links. Pastebin being the shorter of the two URLS [19:10] wilee-nilee: The real issue is that I have a dd rip that I cannot mount [19:11] ActionParsnip, or did something change in the last 15 hours? [19:11] I thought it was a dd of a part, but I can't mount it directly or as a drive. [19:11] minimec: solved!!!!!!! [19:11] minimec: FUCKING SOLVED [19:11] wjtaylor, Not sure with that early of a windows release. [19:11] minimec: actually i didn't do the last thing you said! [19:11] Well That is one Happy Camper with a Solved issue. Congrats Hamedk [19:12] Associatex: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [19:12] hamedk: Now never mess with you sources again... ;) Only use 'software & sources' ;) [19:12] !language | hamedk [19:12] hamedk: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [19:12] Associatex: please use a pastebin to host [19:12] wilee-nilee: sure [19:12] wilee-nilee: now I feel old... :) [19:12] TomAstro: thanks! [19:12] Maybe a bit overly happy though... lol === moi__ is now known as _laurent [19:13] minimec: i purged mysql-server + mysql-server-5.5 [19:13] hamedk, Glad your happy, however this is a worldwide channel covering multi cultural ethnic and gender groups [19:13] well.. ActionParsnip tried even to use another sampling frequency.. didnt help too :/ [19:13] Is there a flag or some sort of marker that would show the beginning of a partition? Something I could look for with a hex editor? [19:13] hamedk: Ok. If you install mysql-server again now, it will use the correct package... [19:14] GuybrushThreepwo, have you been using the fast boot with ubuntu dualbooted? <- I'm not sure, I just know that last time I tried to dual boot, it wouldn't work unless secure boot was off [19:14] minimec: now I can get back to my real problem! [19:14] I'm not sure about fast boot, maybe i turned that off too [19:14] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.ca/2475051 [19:14] TomAstro, oh you've got the nforce sound on a MSI board? I've got one of those too. That's why I added a pci sound card, because it didn't work too well with anything [19:14] Nusuey: thats all i know. My sound troubleshooting ability is basic [19:15] GuybrushThreepwo, Mainly you have to shut down each OS to boot the other, no hibernate in either. [19:15] Hamedk Just a small suggestion, Read up on the workings of MySQL and even install a Sql manager to look at what makes it tick. I say LOOK Only.... But this way you will learn how it works [19:16] Guys, I have a problem with my Atheros AR9285 on 12.04, here is the problem details: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2134419.html [19:16] GuybrushThreepwo, No hibernate unless you go back to the OS hibernating anyway. [19:16] Associatex: uninstall flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin [19:16] wilee-nilee, the issue is that it didn't detect ubuntu while secure boot was on [19:16] And after I turned it off, after a month or 2, windows 8 stopped working [19:17] ActionParsnip: ah :( too bad.. it's the only thing that I need to go to windows to do.. wanna watch a movie? cannot.. the high pitched sound every 10 secs .. is really a bad bad thing :o [19:17] best buy rep thought that might be why, and i had to recover using recovery partition [19:17] It worked here since I bought this system as a TV / Satellite receiver package called a Captiveworks 3000/4000. It only does not work with 13.10 [19:17] hello i have connected my iphone via bluetooth to my computer in order to play music through my computers speakers. it is connected but when i play music through the phone no sound comes through. in the sound setting for input i have slected my iphone however and the input level shows sound but nothing is heard. i know my speakers are working however because i can play pandora on my computer. can anybody tell me how to get my phone audible thr [19:17] ough the computers speakers? [19:17] Ubuntivity: check wlan0 is your wireless device name [19:17] ActionParsnip, I have to manually install flash 10_2r152_26, that's the last one that will work with my card. [19:18] Associatex: you can use minitube as it doesnt use flash [19:18] I know I can just dump 13.10 but after all the tweaking that I did to they system I hate to have to do it all over again. [19:18] basically i want to know how i can prevent that from happening again because i need both OS [19:18] does secureboot have to be off? [19:18] ActionParsnip, but then I wont be about to watch flash on the other sites that use it. I'm going to see what might be installed that I wasn't aware of. Thank you for the help. [19:19] Associatex: try chrome as well [19:19] TomAstro, actually I'd guess maybe you were lucky when it worked in 12. I had a really bad time with the nforce onboard sound. And the onboard ethernet too. [19:19] It is probably one line of code that is trashing the HDMI in 13.10 [19:19] GuybrushThreepwo: Ubuntu does *not* require secure boot to be off. [19:20] ActionParsnip: it IS wlan0 [19:20] jordan, but EFI or whatever doesn't detect it or something [19:20] at least back then [19:20] ActionParsnip, same problem, I'm riding a dinosaur of a computer here. Thank you, you have been helpful. [19:20] This system had Susse on a CF card with only one gig of ram and No HD and HDMI and surround worked great. [19:21] i dont know whats changed since the beginning of the year [19:22] 1080P video out is great though via the HDMI. Just sound via that rout is history with this new version. [19:23] TomAstro, I notice the logs you posted said it also found a usb audio device. Maybe that is confusing alsa? [19:23] Associatex: then you will need to use the older flash [19:23] ActionParsnip, you're awesome! I didn't think to check what was installed. I got rid of the Adobe Flash Player plugin installer that somehow had gotten installed that I thought was blocked. Derp! Thank you very much for the help. I have my very old flash player installed and it is working correctly now. I'm thankful. [19:24] Yippy! [19:25] * Ubuntivity feels his problem is beyond the coverage of this channel [19:26] And Yes folks another Happy Camper in the garden of Ubuntu. Congrats AssociateX. [19:26] bangs head on table. [19:26] lol [19:26] when trying to mount my samba share using mount -t cifs -o guest,rw //192.168.1.197/Media /media/MINIX I get mount error(13): Permission denied on one computer while on another computer it works fine. [19:26] Ha ha! [19:27] Ubuntivity what problem would that be? maybe we can direct you to the right channel [19:27] TomAstro, what kind of usb audio device do you have connected? [19:27] The difference between the two comps is one is running 13.04 (the one that fails) and the other is running 12.04 [19:29] Just my cam. I had it all pulled and still no joy here. So not an issue with the USB mic on the cam killing hdmi. That mic works great. It can pick up a cricket fart a block away. [19:29] How do i test font substitutions in the terminal again? Like see what font is replacing Arial etc.? [19:30] TomAstro: whats your can issue [19:30] it doesn't work, it does work, i am lost [19:30] I am glad all are answering me now. Han on let me press play. [19:32] TomAstro: if you don't anster i / we cannot help you [19:32] I have an HDMI Issue. Al previous versions of Ubuntu I had HDMI out along with various digital surround sound outputs. As soon as I did a clean install (Fresh drive) of Ubuntgu 13.10, No more HDMI or Digital Surround Sound 5.1 and up[ [19:33] I guess I will repeat my question when trying to mount my samba share using mount -t cifs -o guest,rw //192.168.1.197/Media /media/MINIX I get mount error(13): Permission denied on one computer while on another computer it works fine. The difference between the two comps is one is running 13.04 (the one that fails) and the other is running 12.04 [19:33] TomAstro: is this a web cam ? if so then why hdmi [19:34] lvleph: is this in fstab or you are manualy tring [19:34] both [19:34] No not a problem Whoever. I am glad for the help. Just been posting this every half her or so. lol Thanks for taking an interest. Just odd that 13.10 does not like my system here when all previous versions including Susse worked fine with HDMI. [19:34] how would I setup, that my output would go through alsa instead of pulseaudio? [19:35] lvleph: are you tring to mount it from 192.768.197 [19:35] Nope on the webcam thing. I was just asked by my posted list in pastebin what the USB item was. [19:35] no I am mounting from 192.168.1.191 whoever [19:35] http://pastebin.com/Mwhwvwxw [19:36] lvleph: tell me : who owns /MEDIA [19:36] root [19:36] but that media is on an Android device, so don't chide me for that [19:36] lol [19:38] lvleph: so why are you tring to mount the andoid dir to your ubuntu box [19:38] whoever, I have hacked the hell out of this android device and now it is a media server [19:38] lvleph: why not just hook up your usb cable aand transfer files [19:38] lol [19:38] TomAstro, i switch to this channel, no need to make double work [19:38] whoever, it is not a phone [19:39] lvleph: there is a samba share app in the play that will make this a lot easier for you [19:39] whoever, there is no app running this is full samba [19:39] Thanks. Thats ok I was between Alsa Pulse and this channel. lol [19:39] like I said I have hacked the hell out of this android device whoever [19:40] lvleph: so it is still running a verient of andoid [19:40] yes whoever but this is not relevant to my question [19:41] If you would like to read more about what I have done I can give you a link to the writeup whoever [19:41] lvleph: ok, post it [19:41] ok, i got postfix working, finally [19:41] whoever, http://minixforums.com/threads/how-to-linux-optware-ssh-samba-transmission-flexget.2825/#post-23301 [19:41] lvleph: i assume you can ping it correct ? [19:42] It looks to me that I have all stummped here. There is no other information I can think of that I can supply to help me with this issue. It looks to me that the new kernel for 13.10 does not like Nvidia HDMI . I haven't taken notice of what sound cards of all the other growing complaints of no HDMI out with 13.10 but it is growing. [19:42] I can connect with one Ubuntu comp and not another [19:42] TomAstro, http://youtu.be/iYWzMvlj2RQ lol [19:43] i've also noticed that 13.10 doesn't really have a complete lamp stack [19:43] lvleph: what about your allow and deny files in /etc [19:43] whoever, I don't understand the question [19:43] I can use alsa output in vlc.. can I use alsa output in chrome? :o [19:44] Good Afternoon, I am trying to figure out how to uninstall/remove the youtube app from Ubuntu 13.10x64. I got a prompt in Chromium to install a web app and I clicked yes. Now the youtube app is always in my sound drop down list. Thank you [19:44] lvleph: typlicly in any linux distro there is in /etc/ host.allow and host.deny files that allow or deny hosts [19:44] TomAstro, don't panic. just test different kernel [19:44] Been there seen that. That does not relate to my issue though. [19:45] oh, in the hosts file. There is no whitelist or blacklist whoever [19:45] didthatwork, it's not installed into ubuntu, per se, it's installed into chromium [19:45] lvleph: can you ssh to it with both ubuntu boxes [19:45] yes whoever [19:45] didthatwork, you remove it from chromium, and it will be gone [19:45] lvleph: does eatch ubuntu box use the same login info [19:45] That's where I fail here. I am a hardware person or specific software and firmware for what I needed in Broadcast. I am lost on how to go about that. [19:46] no whoever [19:46] however they both have the same rsa pub [19:46] I had Skype, but now it's been days now that I can't get it to come up! [19:46] this shouldn't matter with samba though whoever [19:46] can you login to your android using the working credenials from the box with the credentials that don't work === tibr is now known as tibr2 [19:47] hack mobile sniff ? [19:47] permission denied again whoever [19:47] A quick support for 13.10. I have a screenshot showing my online accounts from System Settings. Does this mean I have no accounts and how does it work if it gets accounts there? http://aijaa.com/xJNtBk [19:47] Or I mean when it says "Add account" it is empty so to speak? [19:47] if I don't provide credentials it does ask for a pw whoever so that is a good sign [19:48] DrGrov: No accounts, yes. To add one, you click "Add account" and choose one. [19:48] lvleph: what does your allow deny ip range look like in smb.conf [19:48] minimec, I need help with making a launcher for Freemind - this used to be easy in previous versions of unity. [19:48] DrGrov: Then you log in, it automatically logs you in to all supported apps for that kind of account (Empathy, Shotwell, whatever) [19:48] theadmin: So, I click on ex. Facebook if I want to add that? The + sign did nothing. [19:48] DrGrov: Yep [19:48] so now can you log in to android from the working ubuntu box with both sets of credentials [19:48] theadmin: Ah okay. Now I am starting to get this. It was confusing me. [19:49] whoever, I don't have an allow or deny section [19:49] theadmin: You saw the screenshot? [19:49] intrader: Making a launcher is weirdly complicated nowadays, but does it have a menu entry already? [19:49] DrGrov: Yeah. [19:49] If you go to the github link in that link I provided you can see most of the smb.conf whoever [19:49] how can I mount a dd of a whole drive? [19:49] intrader: hi. ;) gedit ~/.local/share/applications/Freemind.desktop [19:49] theadmin: Great, thanks. Is there any clear advantages of having accounts added vs. having them online as regular?

It's recognized by neard etc, but how can I actually use nfc tags? [19:52] This is easier https://github.com/erichlf/AndroidSeedBox/blob/master/smb.conf [19:52] wjtaylor: sudo partx -a /path/to/image.dd and then run partx -s /path/to/image.dd to see what the partitions got created as [19:52] intrader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6389962/ [19:52] the only difference is the location of the share and its name whoever [19:53] Hello, my ubuntu won't start up at all, except for terminal in recovery mode. Any ideas? [19:53] Darksonn: the most common cause for that would be an Xorg problem, looking in the xorg log files would be a good starting point [19:53] lvleph: so can you pastebin that info tem [19:53] *then [19:53] theadmin: thanks I'll check that out. [19:54] ikonia: where are they located? [19:54] Darksonn: /var/log [19:54] hello everyone [19:54] !find nfc [19:54] ikonia: found them [19:54] Found: libdebconfclient0, libdebconfclient0-dev, bnfc, confclerk, libacme-brainfck-perl [19:54] hello. I am using linux for the first time. because my user is not in the sudoers file, I tried su>adminpass>visudo. I can edit the visudo file, but I dont know how to save the changes and the command line is gone, I see only --INSERT-- at the bottom. what should I do? [19:55] hopfen: what linux distribution are you using [19:55] I use centos [19:55] 6.4 [19:55] on vmware [19:55] hopfen: ok, so the #centos channel is the correct place [19:55] only see insert? sounds like vim? [19:55] lvleph: the share should have the same location since it is on the same server [19:55] ikonia: what am i to look for? [19:55] Ahhhhhhhhh Haaaaaaaa OK, For all that tried to help with the HDMI issue here. What in XBMC is allowing 5.1 surround sound to pass through S/PDIF and not HDMI but in surround sound when all other tests without XBMC only passes stereo? HDMI audio is still no go even in XBMC [19:55] , so that is mostlikly your problem [19:55] Darksonn: EE (this means error) is a good start, but any obvious errors or warnings [19:56] whoever, http://pastebin.com/Pi6Gb19L [19:56] that isn't what I meant whoever any I pasted the actual smb.conf [19:57] ikonia: okay, (EE) Failed to load module "intel" (module does not exist, 0) theres also some other simmilar ones [19:57] this looks like a two fold issue. [19:57] Darksonn: ok, so that's a good error, but also a concerning one, as intel should be installed by default on an ubuntu desktop install [19:58] ikonia: the error started around where i tried getting some drivers for a usb wireless reciever to work, i never succseeded [19:58] lvleph: can you post your entire conf i think i see a problem [19:58] TomAstro, maybe the Kernel doesn't have the option for S/PDIF passthrough with HDMI [19:58] Darksonn: well, undoing what you did there would be a good starting point [19:58] whoever, that is the entire conf [19:58] lvleph: do you want to allow annymouse [19:58] That could be possible [19:59] yes [19:59] ikonia: im not exactly sure which packages it was though, is there a way to see my most recent uses of apt-get [19:59] thats a problem [19:59] ok [19:59] Darksonn: the dpkg.log is a good start [19:59] mininec: i just wanted to share it with you! i could recover that libreoffice corrupted file! so hppy! [19:59] Darksonn: however also checking if the xorg intel packages are installed would be a good start too, however I'd expect them to be there, if not your install is messed up [19:59] mininec: thanks for your help bro :) [19:59] which setting is the problem whoever? [20:00] hamedk: No problem. [20:00] ikonia: it has worked before [20:00] Darksonn: yes, but it's not working now [20:00] Darksonn: so that means you've had the modules in place - now you've done something to them, which means it's probably pretty messed up [20:00] Why was that changed though. Leads back to, If it's not broke don't try to fix it. Now it's broke. Or the other issues fix one thing and break another. A Devs Nightmare. [20:00] lvleph: you dont need wins support , dns proxy, name resolv order or netbios name in global nor do you need guest account or preferred master [20:00] hamedk: Happy that you got your problems solved. [20:01] TomAstro, I didn't say that it wasn't in the kernel, but it is possible. I know this is why my android device can't do it. [20:01] guest will never work in this there is more you need to do for it to work [20:01] ok whoever [20:01] ikonia: where should i look in dpkg.log file? [20:01] minimec: actually all the forum guys were dissappointed at solving this problem but out of the blue i could recover my assignment out of libreoffice damn bug! [20:02] Darksonn: what do you mean "where" it's a log file of what gets installed [20:02] lvleph: so remove the guest ok, guest only entries for eadh share , and add a list of users , that will allow the user acces to the directory [20:02] I don't have guest in global whoever [20:02] Darksonn: I'd focus on if the intel stuff is there or not [20:02] <__raven_> pulse is completely broken in 13.10: only noise with several programs and no support of volume control any more. how to fix that [20:02] I want guest in each share though whoever [20:02] Oh I know what you ment. Just saying that something in this release is now broken. I am not the only one with the issue by what I have been reading this past week. [20:02] ikonia: okay, how would i do that? [20:02] lvleph: but you have guest account = root [20:02] without the guest I will have to use credentials whoever [20:02] Darksonn: look in the package manager [20:03] doesn't guest account = root assign ownership for the guests? [20:03] OvermindDL1: you have it set wrong , hold on, ill get you the correct settings [20:03] __raven_, is it a fresh install? [20:03] <__raven_> kostkon: yes [20:03] After being a PITA in here all day.. I might as well post a bug report since apparently all that tried to help may be stumped with this issue.

Manually did the cpu fan to 3(9 maximum) and 55 degrees C to keep it a bit more silent. [20:55] Fudus: thanks, but I'm on sendmail not postfix [20:56] psensor is probably laggish. It just froze on me :( [20:57] sendmail isn't officially supported by Ubuntu, so you'll probably need to go to #sendmail [20:57] didn't now that. I'll give that a try! [20:58] Not possible to go to postfix i suppose? [20:58] As it is the official email it'd probably be easier to use on Ubuntu [20:58] sure, you think that would be better [20:59] ok; since i have other problems with sendmail, I'll switch [20:59] lapidary: sendmail doesn't get much love from anyone anymore. [20:59] maybe it's the messy config files [21:01] lapidary: Do you have a reason to avoid postfix, or to stay with sendmail? [21:01] bekks: Conky it is, this psensor was just utterly laggish and did not leave me any choice to alter settings without freezing up on me and forcing the kill switch. [21:01] sendmail isn't working; it's not accepting my ssl key, and it's not receiving emails [21:02] that's reason enough to try another tool for me [21:02] Good reason. Postfix and exim are much easier to deal with. [21:03] How can I purge psensor easily and get rid of the additional packages it installed for me? [21:03] DrGrov: apt-get purge psensor === zack6849|Offline is now known as zack6849 [21:04] lapidary: are you looking for an easy to set up and use Email client? [21:04] DrGrov: Or something like that. Purge removes the package & it's settings files, temp stuff, etc, where remove leaves them. After that, you run, apt-get autoremove. [21:04] TomAstro: no, just want to setup an email server. [21:04] kyle__: Ok, apt-get autoremove after and it removes hddtemp and psensor-common then. Thanks. [21:05] Ahhh okis the otherway around. [21:05] TomAstro: easy is always good though! :-) [21:05] DrGrov: Never used psensor, is it a GUI or CLI monitor? [21:06] kyle__: A GUI monitor but buggish. Could not access preferences without it freezing and forcing a killall on it. [21:06] kyle__: "apt-cache depends psensor" would show you [21:07] lapidary: I can post you a google link for a few if you want [21:08] What would be the best file system to use for a USB 3.0 16GB flash drive, maybe both used in 13.10 and in Windows machines? [21:08] DrGrov: FAT32. [21:08] I think I'll go with postfix [21:08] bekks: But limits to 4GB file size? [21:08] DrGrov: Yes. [21:09] bekks: Is there anything else than FAT32 I could format to to get rid of the 4GB file size limitation? [21:09] DrGrov, You can use a nfts if needed [21:09] ntfs* [21:09] DrGrov: NTFS, but ntfs write support in linux is pretty slow. [21:09] wilee-nilee: What are the disadvantages with that? [21:09] bekks: Ah roger that. [21:09] DrGrov: extfat. Not as hideous as fat32, not as bad linux support asn ntfs [21:09] TomAstro: For the most part I want to say I have my own email server. Anything else (SpamAssen, AV software, fancy config) is just nice. [21:09] ciao [21:09] bekks: FAT32 it is then. Mostly documents and small stuff anyhow on it, not exceeding 4GB anyhow probably. [21:10] DrGrov, I have seen none myself I have a 2Tb external with ntfs. [21:10] bekks: GParted to the rescue then in formatting the 16GB? It was used for a Win8 OEM Recovery I tried [21:10] lapidary: There is Zimbra, iRedMail, PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystem and Atmail to name a few [21:10] DrGrov: Yeah, probably. [21:10] wilee-nilee: Okay, so NTFS is still then probably the best. [21:11] bekks: Ok. Can a 8GB flash memory card be formatted as well within Gparted? [21:11] Hi guys [21:11] DrGrov, best is a subjective, if you want bigger that 4 gig files it seems appropriate. [21:11] pozz: how did you make out with that driver issue? [21:11] :/ the avg live cd doesn't support ext4 or xfs. WTF? [21:11] DrGrov: Yes. [21:12] wilee-nilee: Yes, somehow bigger than 4GB is not essential for the 16GB USB stick but it will probably be essential later for an external drive. [21:12] I am back, just wanted to say that nvidia update thing did not work [21:12] bekks: About conky, it is GUI? [21:12] kyle__, This is a worldwide channel crossing cultural and ethnic boundaries does swearing seem appropriate here? [21:12] it caused my computer to not boot up.. just a flashing white cursor at the top left of my screen [21:12] Hmmmm That is odd what is the type of NVidia card there? [21:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky has a guide [21:13] wilee-nilee: Did I say the em-ess word? Sorry. [21:13] Ohhhhh Hang on just the flasher? [21:13] quadro 2000 and a quadro 4000 [21:13] kyle__, an acronym [21:13] ctrl-alt-f1 and do a apt-get remove nvidia* [21:13] bekks: It does not seem to give a GUI for Conky. :( [21:13] How are you looking at the vidio HDMI, DVI or VGA out? [21:13] I think my dd image that I'm trying to restore is corrupt. I've been looking at it through a hex editor and it's got the mbr, then it has what it seems is the primary partition. There are 4 partition entries on this disk. 1 primary, 1 extended, and 2 logical volumes in the extended. At the end of the primary partition (end partition block * 512) I see FILE* in the hex editor, I see it for the other logical volume as well, but then [21:13] there's more. Am I calculating the byte offset correctly ending block * 512. (This is a 512 byte sector drive.) [21:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery doesn't help i suppose? [21:14] pozz: How are you looking at the vidio HDMI, DVI or VGA out? [21:15] display port [21:15] Then you can reboot to get back [21:15] Is there any way to check which USB port I am using with my keyboard? I want to verify that it is not a USB 3.0 port in the front. [21:15] Do you have one or two monitors? [21:15] one monitor [21:15] DrGrov: I thought lsusb -v showed some of the information. [21:15] lsusb [21:16] I'm runnning a server on ubuntu and need to simulate dropped connections. Is there a linux tool that will randomly close / re-open port 8080 ? [21:16] Do you have a vga 9 pin out on that card? === jije is now known as jerjunds [21:16] hummm, dont know about that [21:16] I will see [21:16] What does Software-properties prop drivers have? [21:16] I Would like to know if installing "libpulse-dev" does anything to improve the quality of pulseaudio experience? [21:16] pozz: Why I ask is that it may be ouputting a VGA signal that is fine at the same time it is outputting a blank digital . [21:17] logic_prog: Shouldn't be hard to lash togeather a script to block and unblock the port using iptables. [21:17] logic_prog there's also #ubuntu-server [21:17] I have ran into that here with my 42 inch screen [21:17] yeah, but that requires using sudo [21:17] maujhsn: that will just install the header files. [21:17] Hapozz: Hang on let me check something [21:17] Hi [21:17] kyle_ Then what/ [21:18] hummm [21:18] kyle__: kyle__ That does show up the keyboard but nothing definite if it is USB 3.0 or 2.0. [21:18] I see [21:18] pozz: Hang on let me check something [21:18] okay [21:18] maujhsn: The -dev packages contain header files, and sometimes a few other small things necessary to compile and link programs against a particularly library. [21:18] The -dev packages are for when you want to compile something [21:18] DrGrov: When it talks about the USB ports, it probalby says if their uhci/ehci or something else... look for that part. I forget what the usb3 standard's name is. [21:18] pozz: Are there two cards there a 2000 and a 4000? [21:19] usb3 have a larger socket if I remember correctly [21:19] TomAstro, yes, and they both have vga available [21:19] I am plugged into the 2000, but they are hooked up internally to work together [21:19] kyle_ If I install it via synaptic package manager It does the compiling for me right? [21:19] kyle__: Ok, I have the possibility to look it through in the UEFI Bios GUI but can not seem to get a grip of if the front panel ports are 3.0 or 2.0. [21:19] Fudus: Not on the PC end. It's the same mechanically, but manfucaturers color it blue (except for apple, because they're apple). [21:19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lenovo_x220.jpg for the difference [21:19] Okis hang on I doubt it but in may be a driver conflict between the 2k and 4k series [21:19] kyle__: The mobo manual says the front pane ones are a USB 3.0 header (2x 3.0) [21:20] maujhsn: No. It just gives you the files necessary for compiling. [21:20] I dont think so, this happends to my other computer as well that is a GTX? 680 [21:20] pozz: have you tried nomodeset? [21:20] no... [21:20] !nomodeset | pozz [21:20] pozz: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:20] DrGrov: There used to be a gnome-tool that showed what was attached where, but I haven't looked at it in over a decade. [21:21] I see... [21:21] kyle_Would you happen to have that installed in any of your distros? [21:21] So blue is USB3, ok then :P [21:21] is ubuntu able to play 5.1 audio over spdif? [21:21] pozz: lol the bot beat me to it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [21:22] kyle__: On the other hand now when I come to think about it does not really matter :) I got 2x 3.0 then in front if that is the case and 2x 3.0 in the back. Can I safely unplug the keyboard right now and just plug it in the back without any major crash issues? LOL [21:22] DrGrov: That should work. [21:22] maujhsn: Probably not. I dont generally compile desktop apps, and pulse, jack and all the rest aggravate me to no end, so I try and not look at them. [21:22] Is it possible to change the Ubuntu splash screen? [21:22] bekks: So I can safely remove the keyboard and re-plug it in the back? [21:22] zykotick9: Thanks, was digging for that. [21:22] * kyle__ prefers using just alsa drivers, and NO sound daemon or other oberblown system. [21:22] DrGrov: Yes. [21:23] bekks: Testing. [21:23] so, recommendations on asp.net for mono... fastcgi or the xsp? [21:23] * DrGrov is running already in case there is an explosion [21:23] kyle_ thanks! [21:23] kyle__: if you use a DE, trying to remove pulse is really not worth the effort IMO [21:23] DrGrov: You can run, but you cannot hide :P [21:23] Not sure if nomodeset is what I am looking for... could it fix this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/5ETmD.jpg [21:23] bekks: LOL :) [21:24] Sometimes you can hook up a standard vga display and bingo Bob's your uncle [21:24] bekks: I just decided to re-plug in the front, to the right one instead so I am more comfortable with plugging in some other USB device in the front :) [21:24] * DrGrov is extremely lazy [21:24] zykotick9: I know. That's why I try and ignore it. If I messed with it, I'd be in a foul mood, and probably yell at kids to get off my lawn. [21:25] pozz: I have had that here and as soon as I set up all the video via the vga signal, reboot and all is well [21:25] I see... isent vga lower quality then display port? [21:27] maybe reinstalling ubuntu-desktop might help? is the line to type apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop? [21:27] pozz: yep. Well at least I found that here with my TV. I'm luckey that this 42 incher has a vga input as well as composite, DVI and HDMI === ubuntu is now known as Guest25134 [21:27] pozz: No, thats a meta package only. [21:27] well I think I have a vga to display port adapter laying around somewhere, but playing a 1080p movie onto my 55in may not look as great [21:28] pozz: not that I know of but it will dedfualt to that Noveau driver. You can blacklist that driver also [21:28] default^ [21:28] Guys! best line of the day! "http://i.stack.imgur.com/5ETmD.jpg" [21:28] lol why? [21:29] Just saying lol! [21:29] its not lol, I have been having this problem for over a month, I can not dist-upgrade with out it breaking... [21:29] I hate it. [21:30] Sorry pal lol! [21:30] pozz: Did you try to use the nvidia driver from the repos? [21:30] !lol [21:30] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [21:30] bekks, yes [21:30] bekks: That did the trick. Now I got it formatted as fat32. [21:30] I tryed 1000 things, I dont think it is a graphics problem it think it is a setting somewhere [21:30] pozz: hang in there I am going to give you the info on how to black list that oddball Noveau driver [21:31] Always a nuisance to use GParted, scary stuff in case something goes horribly wrong. [21:31] DrGrov: Then create a backup before... [21:31] pozz, What release is this? [21:31] okay [21:31] 12.04 [21:31] ubottu this is scary your sounding HUMAN! [21:32] pozz, There are resets for unity and compiz, if when using the repos driver I would run it. [21:32] tryed both [21:32] I reset everything I could find and rebooted... nothing ever solved this problem, it drives me crazy [21:32] maujhsn next: ubottu will start reproducing [21:33] MonkeyDust: Yeah, but whom? ;) [21:33] I ever took a backup of compiz on a computer I have that works fine and loaded it into this computer, never helped [21:33] dash shows no search results. I purged unity-lens-* to get rid of the spyware. Did that also remove its local-search functionality? [21:33] pozz, The dist-upgrade generally is a kernel upgrade, can you, or would you find some link to that and your problem, generally that is the issue [21:34] fishduck: lol, that was the issue. local searches where being send to ubuntu... [21:34] zykotick9: being sent to amazon, mind you. [21:35] pozz,Try a kernel where this is not happening in the grub menu maybe. [21:35] MonkeyDust It's scary, and no hahaha! [21:35] I have a folder full of files named as numbers, how can I rename them to "pad" the numbers to double digits? ie 1.txt becomes 01.txt, etc? [21:35] well I have a backup so I can just use it, but I want to use the most updated kernel [21:37] pozz: left a PM for youy [21:38] pozz, It's not that you have to use an earlier kernel but finding correlations, rather than random hypothesis. [21:39] pozz, commonly called the scientific method, hehe [21:39] hmm.. no config to automatically start up mono-fastcgi eh [21:40] err, no package [21:40] okay, good point. [21:40] me4oslav [21:41] well I just restored my computer, so I am waiting for dist-upgrade to finish, then I am going to try blacklisting the noveau driver... if that fails, I will get grub to start and try a different kernel [21:43] The latest version is Saucy Salamander, and it's been fully live for less than a month? [21:43] I wish the ubuntu updater thingy would stop thinking that it's totally cool to update my tuxonice kernel with a generic kernel. [21:44] itsnotlupus: pin. [21:44] hmm maybe I need to explicitly uninstall them generics [21:44] kyle__, grenade? [21:44] we ARE doing free word association, right? [21:45] HelloWorld321: yes [21:45] !pin | itsnotlupus [21:45] itsnotlupus: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [21:45] so.. no grenades? :'( [21:45] itsnotlupus: You pin packages in apt :) See ubott's comment. [21:45] alright thanks! [21:46] Hey guys [21:46] itsnotlupus: No gernades. Unless that's slang for a manly version of a girly-drink. [21:46] Anyone on 13.10 having issues with freezing? [21:46] Nouveau seems to crap out quite a bit. [21:46] I like me some girly drinks. [21:47] I'm having issues upgrading to 13.10. Mine says that it's failing to authenticate all the packages. [21:47] !upgrade |HelloWorld321 [21:47] HelloWorld321: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:48] tx, ubottu [21:48] I feel like I should have stayed on 12.04 [21:48] I'm considering reinstalling, actually [21:48] 13.10 is fast, but stability suffers [21:48] therazr: you too ;) [21:48] alfonsojon, you could try embracing the dark side, and go proprietary with your drivers? [21:48] oh,hey : there's spcific sections for each upgrade; but no 13.04 to 13.10 section [21:48] Already have [21:48] Didn't like it. [21:48] lol [21:49] it does feel dirty. [21:49] It fixes the lockups, but oh boy is it ugly [21:49] Plymouth is now stdout [21:49] HelloWorld321: you should follow this one http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade [21:49] graphics driver issues, alfonsojon [21:49] I like my graphical boot splash [21:49] :( [21:50] if it doesn't work, disable it in /etc/default/grub [21:50] question: a privacy option in settings says "don not include online result". However, WILL my searches be sent online anyway? (even though they arent included in the search result) [21:50] k, tx therazr [21:50] really, it's just 5-10 seconds where you don't do anything [21:50] Oh, also I don't like the new Unity smart scope so much [21:50] Thankfully, it can be disabled. [21:50] :) === federico is now known as Guest10285 [21:59] Hi I updated to Ubuntu 13.10 and all apache virtual hosts have stopped working? They're all still listed in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled but when visiting any of them I see just the 'It works!' page [21:59] Help!

[22:09] from cli [22:10] arcsky: probably best is 'sudo service lightdm stop' if you are on a standard ubuntu installation. [22:11] arcsky: Afterwards 'sudo service lightdm start && exit' [22:11] pozz, The other thing I have noticed about using a dist-upgrade is it will by pass a partial upgrade which will show in the update manager gui. Run it and make sure you are not upgrading when this is showing. [22:13] my ubuntu system is not picking up usb devices what could possibly be going wrong? [22:13] pozz, I had the vlc daily PPA running and this was causing a partial upgrade notice and messing with my upgrades in general. [22:13] 1 [22:14] jjavaholic, Not showing if you run lsusb? [22:14] minimec: thanks [22:18] Thomas_: have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2182652 ? Sounds very similar [22:19] Thanks glebihan [22:19] glitsj16, * [22:28] wilee-nilee. do you mean run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? or run the GUI? [22:28] the gui does show the partial update thing (before I do dist-upgrade) and then fails to update anything. so thats why I run dist-upgrade [22:29] pozz: NEVER run a "partial" upgrade! that means "your system will be broken" [22:29] "sudo do-release-upgrade" you might have to purge ppas that directly affect the ubuntu framework [22:30] salve [22:30] ce nessuni [22:30] o [22:31] !it | salvo [22:31] salvo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [22:32] pozz: fyi, you can run "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" to upgrade what IS possible... but in your case, i'm guess things are "broken" at this point... just fyi, for HOPEFULLY never again [22:33] okay, it does not let me do partial upgrade anways (unless dist-upgrade forces it)... i will put "sudo do-release-upgrade" on my list of things to do after i reboot [22:33] TomAstro: Thanks for links [22:36] Hey guys. What is the best way to do backups on Ubuntu Server? [22:37] jimgroth rsync is fast [22:37] jimgroth: IMO, backup A) the data you want to save AND B) the config files you want to save - onto "other media". YMMV === kameloso^ is now known as kameloso [22:38] I'm pretty much a newbie. ^^ [22:39] So far I've figured out that crontab is used to do periodic tasks [22:39] correct? [22:39] jimgroth you can also create a cron task with all wildcards, to have realtime sync with a backup medium [22:40] ah ha! my vhost is filtering smtp port for inbound email; I also know why tls wasn't working right as well, my signed cert is not recognized, I need to add startssl to the web of trust on postfix, or create a new self signed cert. [22:40] jimgroth like so : * * * * * rsync [source] [dest] [22:41] MonkeyDust: Sounds dangerous [22:41] geirha: +1 [22:41] * jimgroth tilts head [22:41] Why is that? [22:41] geirha i tried it as a test (one folder to usb), it works [22:44] Would the "all star" thing risk doing it too often and bogging down the machine? [22:44] guys I can't mount a virgin cd-r , any advise¿ [22:45] MonkeyDust: If the initial rsync takes more than one minute, you'll suddenly have two rsyncs trying to sync the same data, which will likely slow both of them, and if it takes more than two minutes, you'll have three rsyncs running ... [22:45] jimroth, how often would you like your backup? [22:45] Once a day would be good [22:46] geirha the actual example I found, was: */5 interval [22:46] jimgroth: what do you use that server for? private toy or business? [22:46] jimgroth, then replace all asterisks with "1 3 * * * " [22:46] Just learning [22:47] I do want to learn the right way to do things but for now I'm happy to just get data backed up. [22:47] Is saucy out now? [22:47] hey there, running 13.04 on Latitude E6430, my WiFi network card suddenly stopped seeing a particular WiFi network for some reason (other devices can see it just fine); networkmanager doesn't see it as well as `iwlist eth1 scanning`, any idea what might be going wrong? [22:47] scienziata: Thanks. I just figured out how to use crontab. :) [22:47] restart didn't help [22:47] and I can see other networks around [22:47] jimgroth: may i suggest dirvish. it is made from crontab and rsync and combines those two in a very nice way. you controll drivish with easy to understand config files [22:47] melkor: it is yes [22:47] !saucy | melkor [22:47] melkor: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes [22:48] Benkinooby: Thanks. I'll check it out. :) [22:48] Just noticed the latest mainline kernel has been bumped up to trusty. [22:48] jimgroth: so dirvish is somewhere above raw rsync & crontab, but below fully blown backup solutions [22:49] MonkeyDust: Well, if we're taking gigabytes and a slow hard drive, it'll easily exceed five minutes [22:49] jimgroth: there are business scale backup solutions in the repositories but i forgot their names. dirvish aims at advanced users and small business [22:49] that's how i see it [22:49] jimgroth: also if you're on a server you want tmux ;) [22:49] jimgroth: it's like screen but better :) [22:50] Slow down. ^^ [22:50] jimgroth, if this is a directly connected harddrive, you could use "cp -R -p srcdir dstdir" instead of rsync [22:50] It's going to be a network drive [22:50] on a NAS [22:50] I managed to connect it but if there was a connection issue my system would freeze. >.< [22:50] scienziata: even locally, i'd say rsync is better choice then cp... [22:52] Thanks for the help guys. I'll be sure to come back with followup questions after reading up a bit and playing on the VM. :) === jimgroth is now known as jimAWAY [22:53] bekks: Still there? About Conky, does the default repo supply a GUI version of it? [22:56] DrGrov: conky is for gui [22:57] DrGrov: it will blend in to your desktop background/wallpaper [22:58] Benkinooby: there is a conky-cli btw. === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [23:01] hello call can somebody tell how i install a older kernel with dkms [23:02] cyso: On Manjaro? [23:02] no lubuntu [23:03] cyso: then pastebin uname -a and lsb_release -a please, so we know which lubuntu you are on actually. [23:04] Benkinooby: Ah okay. That is great, I shall download it right away then. Want to check up on CPU temperature etc. [23:04] Benkinooby: Thanks. [23:05] http://pastie.org/8468703 [23:05] Hey all, Can someone point me in the right direction of changing user account passwords, and enabling t so when the laptop reboots, it doesn't log in automatically? [23:06] Does anyone know if wubi will be supported for the next LTS release? Or is that whole idea dead now [23:06] ziyagi: it's dead... [23:07] no output if i tipe lsb_release [23:07] cyso: type: lsb_release -a [23:07] with 'users and groups' from the menu...? @ubnoobtu [23:07] cyso: no output or "No LSB modules are available."? if the later, try "lsb_release -a" [23:08] http://pastie.org/8468708 [23:08] i got it [23:09] i want to install in 2 new kernels so that i can choice it in grub [23:09] Ubnoobtu: To disable autologin 'sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf' delete the name on the 'autologin-user=' line [23:09] toooooo late XD @minimec [23:10] i know that works with dkms perfektly [23:10] Anon1: Yeah... Sh.. happens === Guest28745 is now known as Mapley [23:11] Anon1: 2nd part would have been 'man passwd' and 'man adduser', but ... [23:12] bekks? do u know how to install 2 kernels so that i can choice it in grub with dkms [23:12] http://pastie.org/8468715 [23:13] install dkms, install the kernels as usual. [23:13] cyso: ahhh, dkms is kernel module support... which is used to build modules for that kernel. it's not used to boot other kernels... [23:13] dkms i installed but i dont kow how i do install in terminal the kernels [23:14] i need the 3.10 and 3.5 [23:14] cyso: those arent available for 13.10 [23:15] oh ok [23:15] cyso: If you use linux-image deb packages, just install the package. If you have modules to add (like Virtualbox), you also need the linux-headers, for the explicit kernel version and the kernel series. [23:16] cyso: Let's say you want the 'saucy' 3.12 kernel, look here ... http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/ [23:16] or don't do that [23:17] as you shouldn't be mixing kenrel versions, or unpatched versions unless you really understand the implications [23:17] hi all, plz help me i was upgrading my ubuntu 13.4 to 13.10 but decided to turn off the pc halfway thru the update coz i had to leave, now when i log into my ubuntu everythings messed up and keep getting erorr mesages, many stuff missing, how can i re upgrade? i have dualboot w/ windows. thx [23:17] Hello, i know it's the wrong channel to ask but i still ask [23:17] cyso: ikonia: I agree... [23:17] if i want to mount a cifs share on raspberry pi running Xbian, i get error code 13 [23:17] snake_: then don't [23:18] BUT if i run it with -o sec=ntlmv2 it works fine [23:18] snake_: if you know it's the wrong channel, please don't ask, use the right channel [23:18] heya [23:18] ikonia: the guys in #xbian are idle [23:18] snake_: sorry, that's not this channels problem to pickup the slack [23:18] need some help here, how can i disable permanently the lock screen on gnome 3.10 using ubuntu 13.10 [23:18] anyone can help please [23:19] minimec those are deb files so i dont have to run in terminal? [23:20] What channel would I go to for help with this? http://goo.gl/xFlnIO [23:20] dobleklick is enough [23:20] Eth0R3: https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+disable+lock+screen+on+gnome+3.10 [23:20] cyso: There are multiple possibilities for installation with GUI or Terminal. [23:21] hi all, i was upgrading my ubuntu 13.4 to 13.10 but decided to turn off the pc halfway thru the update coz i had to leave, now when i log into my ubuntu everythings messed up and keep getting erorr mesages, many stuff missing, how can i re upgrade? i have dualboot w/ windows. thx [23:22] fishscene: ive tryed allmost everyting using google search [23:22] and nothing, i search before ask here! [23:23] hi guys, is there any 3d benchmark for ubuntu? [23:23] Eth0R3: Did you reboot your computer after making the changes? [23:23] yes [23:23] and still the same === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs [23:23] the annoying thing is that i am watching flash stream and after X min it switches to the lock [23:24] phong_: glxgears [23:24] Eth0R3: You've tried: dconf-editor [23:24] /org/gnome/desktop/lockdown/disable-lock-screen [23:24] yes [23:25] Eth0R3: That should be possible with dconf-editor. Look in >org>gnome>desktop>lockdown [23:25] Eth0R3: apparently it is a known bug, but not many people know how to resolve it. More info here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1336052 [23:26] there is no lockdown on dcon [23:26] dconf [23:26] i ve saw that page [23:26] Eth0R3: hmm... screensaveer? [23:26] too [23:26] i am trying to run on startup gnome-screensave [23:33] What's up with ppa.launchpad.net? Getting an extremely low download speed. [23:33] you want to disable or enable the screensaver?! [23:34] pc-World: Not sure. [23:34] so can others reproduce this? [23:35] pc-world: Will try to download a package from PPA now. [23:35] BuntuLover: I'm trying to upgrade xorg-edgers and get between 10-80 kB/s [23:36] "ping ppa.launchpad.net" leads to a domain called haetae.canonical.com, don't know if that's normal or not [23:36] Canonical owns Launchpad. [23:37] well, I know that, but I'm not sure if the subdomain has always been that one [23:37] pc-world: they suffered a major power outage yesterday.. might still be shaky [23:38] glitsj16: that might explain it, thanks [23:38] pc-world: I think that has always been the subdomain but not entirely sure. and glitsj16 is right. [23:41] hey guys i just ran i dist-upgrade and it updated to the newest kernal but now when i boot ubuntu [23:41] i get a blackscreen [23:41] i had the previous kernal update prior to updating [23:41] my machine is always up to date but i never got a blackscreen from updating [23:42] Psil0Cybin: what Ubuntu release are you on? [23:42] 12.04 lts === drkokandy_ is now known as drkokandy [23:43] it shows the ubuntu splash screen then i just get a blackscreen :S [23:43] its so odd [23:43] so i have to go back to the previous kernal version to get back in [23:44] Psil0Cybin: what graphics driver? [23:45] pc-world: i am unsure i am using an aspire one acer D270-1628 [23:46] Psil0Cybin: so Intel probably [23:47] Psil0Cybin: pc-world: 'lspci | grep VGA' to be sure... [23:48] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [23:48] I'm not on 12.04, I don't know from which kernel version to which one they updated [23:48] how can o find out so i can show u [23:48] because i am so mind boggled. [23:48] i forgot to write it down when i booted in to the previous kernal [23:49] Psil0Cybin: 'uname -a' 'cat /etc/issue' [23:49] Linux stashb0x 3.2.0-55-generic-pae #85-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 2 14:03:15 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [23:49] Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l [23:50] is what those both commands stated. [23:50] the old kernal version works perfectly [23:50] i dunno what they changed >.< [23:50] * Psil0Cybin rabbles rabbles. [23:51] Psil0Cybin: Try to boot the previous kernel. Hold the left key right after the computer Boot screen and choose a different kernel. [23:51] i did [23:51] thats how im talkning to you now [23:51] it works perfectly [23:51] i just dont like using outdated kernal versions [23:51] How to I connect to a non authica samba share? [23:51] unless your suggesting to use it? for now.. [23:52] someone said there is a command before i could execute that would fixs this problem [23:52] but i cannot find a source of it on the forums :S [23:52] Psil0Cybin: I guess the kernel update was a bug and/or security fix release, so very surprising that it had the effects you're describing [23:53] too bad it's pretty difficult to get a decent release history from the repos [23:53] darn [23:54] so what can i do pc-world? [23:54] do you guys suggest i stick to an older version? [23:54] perhaps post on the forums? [23:54] Psil0Cybin: I don't know really; so the screen blacks out as soon as unity-greeter would usually appear? [23:54] yea [23:54] instead of the login screen [23:54] i get a blackscreen [23:54] usually before i would get a terminal login [23:54] that would suggest startx failed or startxfce4 [23:55] but now i just get a blackscreen as if my laptop is not working [23:55] but it is... [23:55] because previous kernal versions work perfect. [23:55] Psil0Cybin: you might want to file a bug on Launchpad; can you switch to a tty after the screen blacks out? [23:56] Psil0Cybin: Did you already use the nomodeset kernel option? [23:56] and can you reboot via Alt+Print+B, to rule out a kernel freeze? (though pretty unlikely)? [23:57] hmmm [23:57] im getting this error [23:57] RTNETLINK answes: File exists [23:57] Failed to bring up eth0. [23:57] FuZi0N: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:57] how can i fix this? [23:57] i tried googling it but most ppl have the problem with multiple gateways [23:57] however, i only have 1 [23:57] no no no [23:57] someone suggested a nomodset [23:57] kernal option [23:57] how do i go about doing that [23:57] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:58] !nomodeset | Psil0Cybin [23:58] Psil0Cybin: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:59] okayt perfect im going to ry it and report back
