| topper4125 | all settings, and all the "good stuff" is for the most part stored in /home... so If you have /home on a seperate partition, if anything happens to the OS, your data is safe... always a good idea to have them seperate (and frequent backups...) I don't see anyway of saving anything there... hopefully someone else does... | 00:00 |

| asjjohnson | what's up dudes. something really weird just happened I'm using ubuntu 12.04 (cinnamon DE) and chrome has went full screen i can't exit without using killall | 00:00 |
| np8 | asjjohnson: Try F11? | 00:00 |
| asjjohnson | @np8 yeah it jas no effect | 00:01 |
| np8 | asjjohnson: ok | 00:01 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| np8 | topper4125: No it is not on separate partition, but I will guarantee doing that next time. Thanks for the help anyways. | 00:02 |
| prasselpikachu | bye all, thanks to minimec, he helped me a lot! | 00:02 |
| np8 | Maybe ill just do a fresh install from live-cd | 00:02 |
| asjjohnson | crap. whats the cmd to restart x? i cant remember | 00:02 |
| Shirakawasuna | tripelb: which version of ubuntu are you running? | 00:02 |
| minimec | prasselpikachu: no problem. | 00:02 |
| minimec | prasselpikachu: n8 | 00:02 |
| topper4125 | I think that's your best bet np8, sorry to hear about the errors :( | 00:02 |
| prasselpikachu | n8 | 00:02 |
| topper4125 | asjjohnson, does alt-f4 close the window (not exactly a solution, but at least your not having to send a kill cmd | 00:03 |
| asjjohnson | just a sec | 00:03 |
| np8 | topper4125: By the way, do you know, that how can you see if a program is not going to continue executing anymore, after it has "gone gray" ? | 00:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | tripelb: I ask because there are several bug reports / issues with similar errors that were resolved by updating either ubuntu entirely or v4l2loopback specifically | 00:03 |
| asjjohnson | nada | 00:03 |
| prophit | I was apt-get installing ubuntu-desktop when my drive ran out of space. How can I apt-get remove whichever pieces of ubuntu-desktop got installed already? I tried 'sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop' but I get an error "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.". When I run dpkg --configure -a, it just tries to continue installing the desktop. | 00:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | tripelb: also installing guvcview | 00:03 |
| topper4125 | No i don't np8 | 00:04 |
| k1l_ | asjjohnson: sudo service lightdm restart | 00:04 |
| np8 | topper4125: My ubuntu 13.10 upgrade did turn gray (after 20% or so), and i checked from the system manager, that nothing "happens" there, and decided to reboot. I was not a good idea then. | 00:04 |
| cpined | apofis: any idea's? | 00:04 |
| asjjohnson | is lightdm cinnamon? that's the de im using | 00:04 |
| Shirakawasuna | prophit: the safest thing to do is to free up space, then install ubuntu-desktop, then autoremove or purge it. | 00:05 |
| topper4125 | Guess it wasn't... | 00:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | prophit: If that's totally unacceptable, you can force remove packages with dpkg. This is fairly risky so I recommend the first option. | 00:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | prophit: You can get a list of what you recently installed by checking /var/log/apt/history.log | 00:06 |
| k1l_ | asjjohnson: lightdm is the standard dm for ubuntu. the dm starts the x-server for you and manages the desktops (its the loginscreen basically) | 00:06 |
| asjjohnson | facepalm | 00:06 |
| topper4125 | Would the purge command help prophit? (Asking anyone else, cuz I'm just guessing in the dark) | 00:06 |
| lesocratic | Hello | 00:09 |

| asjjohnson | wtf | 00:10 |
| JordanJ21 | Hello, I have a Secure Boot EUFI enabled PC do I have to do anything to install ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| basichash | I killed a python process and now my audio isn't working | 00:11 |
| prophit | Shirakawasuna: I've done some cleaning and am trying to let dpkg --configure -a fix apt-get first. I doubt I've been able to make enough room. What's the dpkg command to force remove ubuntu-desktop? | 00:11 |
| topper4125 | !uefi | 00:11 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:11 |
| asjjohnson | im just gonna turn it off and on again lol | 00:11 |
| basichash | any ideas? | 00:12 |
| lesocratic | ubottu: I don't have the fon language in this list. | 00:12 |
| ubottu | lesocratic: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:12 |
| JordanJ21 | topper4125: I've been reading that but in that it says "Create a LiveDVD or LiveUSB of Ubuntu (>=12.04.2) 64bit. " I want 13.10 | 00:12 |
| Shirakawasuna | prophit: the purge and force-all flags. Read the man page so you know what they do. I'm not recommending that you do this until you've tried freeing up space and installing ubuntu-desktop. Is this an embedded system or micro vps or something? | 00:13 |
| zykotick9 | JordanJ21: >= means, greater or equal to. 13.10 is > then 12.04 - so you're good | 00:13 |
| prophit | Shirakawasuna: yes, it's a beaglebone black | 00:14 |
| Shirakawasuna | ah | 00:14 |
| JordanJ21 | I'm in the liveUSB now zykotick9 with no problems. Will that mean i'm ok? | 00:14 |
| lesocratic | ubottu: How can I add unexisting language ? | 00:14 |
| ubottu | lesocratic: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:14 |
| zykotick9 | JordanJ21: i'm not sure what your doing actually... i was just commenting on the >=12.04.2 part ;) best of luck. | 00:14 |

| tripelb | Shirakawasuna, Hi. back. I copied what you said so I can refer to it. I am running 12.04 on a 2002 dell. Interesting. I have had ubuntu get an internal error and ask me to restart maybe 4 times, not daily even. I had never had ubuntu do that, in years. But I ahve been having updates almost daily this week. | 00:27 |
| apofis | wolfy1339: if it wont work try to not buy MS' products in a future ;) | 00:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | tripelb: I've never encountered an 'internal error' in ubuntu. | 00:28 |
| Shirakawasuna | tripelb: I would start checking your hardware. Run SMART tools for your hard drive and do a memtest | 00:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys if the newest kernel is not working for me, is it fine to use an outdated kernel by a version? | 00:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | what can i do to attempt to fix graphical problems within a kernel | 00:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | Psil0Cybin: yes that's fine | 00:31 |
| JordanJ21 | Will I have any problems? | 00:31 |
| topper4125 | Psil0Cybin, Its fine to use an older kernal if needed... | 00:31 |
| === b is now known as Guest82216 | ||
| Shirakawasuna | Psil0Cybin: make sure to keep the older version's package installed | 00:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | like displaying a black screen after updating kernels, i have tried everything offered online and on the forums but i cannot get into it, so im stuck using an outdated kernel | 00:32 |
| Shirakawasuna | Psil0Cybin: Otherwise autoremove or purge will remove it eventually | 00:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay but is it safe to use an outdated kernel also if u use it does that mean no kernel from now on will work? | 00:32 |
| apofis | be back later | 00:33 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: New security issues arent fixed in your version. | 00:33 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay but if the newest kernel does not work does that mean that other updates will cause the same problem? | 00:34 |
| JordanJ21 | Will I have any problems installing ubuntu 13.10 with secure boot and eufi enabled? | 00:34 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: No. | 00:34 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: They might, they might not. | 00:35 |
| Lexzuz | whatsup everyone | 00:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | bekks: so i can assume if this kernel is not working i can sit this one out typeand other kernel updates | 00:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | would work? | 00:36 |
| JordanJ21 | Anyone? | 00:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | or if this kernel is not working no other kernel upgrades will work | 00:36 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: No. I said: "they might work, they might not." | 00:36 |
| bekks | JordanJ21: Secure boot will not allow you to boot anything else but the OS currently in use - Windows. | 00:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | Oh bekks so what can i do to insure that i can diagnose and fix these issues, for later kernel releases | 00:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | or do i just stick to a kernel that works for me? | 00:38 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: Find out what exactly is causing your issue - or stick with the version you are on. | 00:38 |
| topper4125 | Psil0Cybin, no one can guarentee what will and will not work in a kernal release... maybe everything will work next time, or maybe the screen issue will be fixed but bluetooth will be wonky... untill they are released... who knows... so the answer of "maybe, maybe not" is the best and most correct answer available. | 00:38 |
| JordanJ21 | bekks: Will I have a problem if I switch eufi to legacy? | 00:39 |
| bekks | JordanJ21: Thats depends on the current setup. | 00:39 |
| cpined | hello, any reason why Parole has issues playing back DVD's? | 00:39 |
| JordanJ21 | I have windows 8 installed | 00:39 |
| bekks | JordanJ21: Yes, I know. Still, no one can tell you "yes/no" to that last question. | 00:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | bekks: my graphic is causing the issue, after the grub menu and the xubuntu splash screen i get a blackscreen and it only goes away after restarting 5 - 10 times, and hoping that one time it works | 00:40 |
| JordanJ21 | What can I do to make Ubuntu work? | 00:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | so i am stuck restarting over and over again or using an outdated kernel in order to get my GUI working | 00:40 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: "my graphic" is very, very generic. | 00:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | it says no screens found in Xorg.0 | 00:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | says it cannot find a driver | 00:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | and goes to a blackscreen or a text terminal | 00:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | Psil0Cybin: Use an older kernel | 00:41 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: "it" isnt much more detailed as "my graphic". | 00:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | Psil0Cybin: Or try a newer one | 00:41 |
| topoyiyo | hi | 00:41 |
| minimec | cpined: Is libdvdcss installed? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 00:41 |

| === owner is now known as Guest90370 | ||
| Psil0Cybin | yes the nomodeset kernal option worked until i made it perminant then it did not work | 00:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | so someone tried to do vesafb.nonsense=1 and that too did not fix anything.. it was still a chance game | 00:42 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: So you did something wrong when making it permanent. | 00:42 |

| bekks | Psil0Cybin: The fact is: you have a graphics hardware which isnt support on kernels > 3.2 | 00:53 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: And the other fact: current kernel on LTS is 3.5... | 00:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | darn it.. .bekks so what would you do if u were in my positions | 00:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | and are broke | 00:53 |
| Guest90370 | really? | 00:54 |
| Psil0Cybin | i love ubuntu i dont want to use windows but i cannot afford a new machine | 00:54 |
| topper4125 | both of my AOE's love LTS+XFCE | 00:54 |
| Psil0Cybin | this laptop was running perfectly fine. | 00:54 |
| Guest90370 | so you have to wait til someone writes more code or what? | 00:54 |
| asjjohnson | ubuntu 12.04 cinnamon DE, chrome keeps going fullscreen, will not let me exit. tried F11, nada | 00:54 |
| diseasil | Psil0Cybin - try a different flavour of Linux. | 00:54 |
| bekks | Guest90370: Intel stopped supporting his hardware. | 00:54 |
| bekks | diseasil: That will not help him... | 00:54 |
| Psil0Cybin | using xfce..Bekks could i not build a build of my grahic driver | 00:55 |
| Psil0Cybin | for the kernel? | 00:55 |
| bekks | diseasil: The hardware he has is supported untile kernel 3.2 only. | 00:55 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: Get into graphics driver coding, and do Intels job. It will take years. | 00:55 |
| Psil0Cybin | can i not rebuild the graphic driver? | 00:55 |
| diseasil | ah, what about puppy linux? | 00:55 |
| Psil0Cybin | ughhhhhhhh :( | 00:55 |
| bekks | diseasil: That will not magically make a newer kernel work on his hardware. | 00:55 |
| Guest90370 | who said like several thousand people have windows 8 and ubuntu 13.10 dual booting? | 00:55 |
| bekks | Guest90370: It was me. | 00:56 |
| Psil0Cybin | but somepeople suggested you can download a build made for kernel versions | 00:56 |
| Guest90370 | I'd sure like to get some info | 00:56 |
| Psil0Cybin | of graphic cards | 00:56 |
| i00nsu | Psil0Cybin: manualy everyone can | 00:56 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: There is no build for your kernel... Intel stopped supporting kernels > 3.2 | 00:56 |
| Psil0Cybin | is it hard to do? | 00:56 |
| topper4125 | if you can get the source, you can for it. expand it, support it, sell it on ebay.... free as in freedom they all say. | 00:56 |
| Psil0Cybin | ugh guys im actually going to cry... i just got this laptop a year ago | 00:56 |
| Guest90370 | why can't I get this to happen? | 00:56 |
| i00nsu | bekks: that's really true? :o | 00:57 |
| bekks | Guest90370: I dont know. You are not providing that much details. | 00:57 |
| topper4125 | Psil0Cybin, which version of the Acer Apire One do you have? | 00:57 |
| bekks | i00nsu: Yes, thats really true. | 00:57 |
| OerHeks | Psil0Cybin, good luck finding a working driver. | 00:57 |
| Guest90370 | i mean right now i've got ubuntu 13.10 on my HP Mini and t works great!!! | 00:57 |
| Guest90370 | Grub doesn't boot ubuntu | 00:58 |
| bekks | Guest90370: you are using USB which isnt affected of secure boot, | 00:58 |
| Guest90370 | ONLY windows8 | 00:58 |
| topper4125 | I have 2 acer Aspire Ones, one is a D275, and the other is a first generation KAV60, both run fine under the new kernal | 00:58 |
| Eliyahu | does mint 15 work good with skype? | 00:58 |
| i00nsu | strange, I use gentoo kernel and everything work.. or you mean, only for GPU-cards ? | 00:58 |

| bekks | !mint | Eliyahu | 00:59 |
| Guest90370 | is there a better verson of linux i could use? | 00:59 |
| bekks | Guest90370: No. You just have to fix grub. | 00:59 |
| bekks | !grub2 | Guest90370 | 00:59 |
| ubottu | Guest90370: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 00:59 |
| i00nsu | strange, I use gentoo kernel and everything work.. or you mean, only for GPU-cards ? bekks | 00:59 |

| i00nsu | ok | 01:00 |
| Guest90370 | how and what does make BIOS boot to sda2/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi mean anyhow? | 01:00 |
| bekks | i00nsu: his dedicated GPU isnt supported by Intel anymore. | 01:00 |
| bekks | Guest90370: Thats described in the links given. | 01:00 |
| * topper4125 finds it really strange how we have the same hardware, same DE, same Distro, my vid works... the other person's doesn't... | 01:01 | |
| i00nsu | Psil0Cybin: what distro you using? + kernel | 01:01 |
| bekks | topper4125: did you compare make and model of your GPUs? | 01:02 |
| Guest90370 | how and what does make BIOS boot to sda2/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi mean anyhow???? | 01:02 |
| diseasil | I need help, I have a /home/home dir after fresh install | 01:02 |
| Guest90370 | oh bekks?? | 01:02 |
| i00nsu | diseasil: login-user isn't "home"? | 01:02 |
| topper4125 | bekks tried to get the answer to exactly what version of the Aspire Psil0Cybin has (there are several) but I have the OLDEST first gen and one of the newer ones... (from last year) both running LTS, XFCE, latest kernal... all good... my collection of netbooks should cover this issue. | 01:03 |
| diseasil | yes but also have sub dir from previous install. they are on a separate partition | 01:03 |
| topper4125 | which is why I think its more of an XFCE thing not a kernal thing personally. | 01:03 |
| ausjke1 | on 12.04 whenever i accidentally drag something over to the top bar the window i dragged goesto full screen | 01:04 |
| Guest90370 | I'm trying to understand this Linux stuff make BIOS boot to sda2/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi can anyone explain ??? | 01:04 |
| ausjke1 | anyway to disable this 'feature'? | 01:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | topper4125: i have a an acer aspire one d270-1628 | 01:04 |
| reisio | Guest90370: /nick biosPlease | 01:04 |
| xangua | diseasil: you mean you have a separate partition for /home ¿ | 01:04 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: and why gpu very exactly? | 01:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | I am running Xfce Xubuntu but having problem with the newest kernel | 01:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | sorry what bekks ? | 01:04 |
| diseasil | xangua: yes correct | 01:04 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: which graphics hardware in detail do you have? | 01:05 |
| i00nsu | diseasil: on the fresh install you made the "preserv old install /home" ? | 01:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | how do i find out | 01:05 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: within a specific model vendors may change the used hardware. | 01:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 01:05 |
| topper4125 | k.. back in a sec (this machine is a d275, my other is a KAV60 (first Gen).. gonna make sure the Kav 60 is running as current as I am sure it is, and I'll see whats up | 01:05 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: you dont even know and speculate about your hardware?! | 01:05 |

| wolfy1339 | how do you disable the feature "autosuspend" (for my wifi adapter, double checked it sees it, but doesn't use it)? | 01:06 |
| OerHeks | bekks search for cedartrail will do | 01:06 |
| Guest90370 | well I'll try back another time | 01:06 |
| Guest90370 | thanks to all | 01:06 |
| diseasil | i00nsu: no just backed up home with rsync formatted HD re-installed and restored home to the new partition. | 01:07 |
| i00nsu | Psil0Cybin: pastebin $ lspci -v | 01:07 |
| bekks | diseasil: so you restored one directory level too deep. | 01:07 |
| i00nsu | or use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 01:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | i00nsu: http://pastebin.com/Pp0hs8WU | 01:08 |
| wolfy1339 | how do you disable the feature "autosuspend" on usb devices (for my wifi adapter)? | 01:08 |
| diseasil | I seems like it but I don't under how. at no point did i invoke home/home | 01:09 |
| bekks | diseasil: you used one "/" character too much when restoring. | 01:09 |
| diseasil | the good thing is I have all my info. | 01:09 |
| Psil0Cybin | i00nsu: it looks like everyone is saying intel is not supporting kernel upgrades from now one...which is worrying me i just recently got this laptop a year ago.. i cannot afford a new one | 01:10 |
| bekks | Psil0Cybin: No. We said: Intel stopped supporting your specific graphics hardware for kernel > 3.2 | 01:11 |
| Psil0Cybin | bekks: how come 3.2.0-55-generic-pae works perfectly fine | 01:12 |
| BuntuFuntu | Psil0cybin: Hiya! | 01:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | just not 3.2.0-56-generic-pae | 01:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | hello BuntuFuntu ! | 01:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | like im using the one kernel below the new one | 01:12 |
| BuntuFuntu | Lol I was in my school's writing lab.. | 01:12 |
| BuntuFuntu | The computers all have Ubuntu stickers on them XD | 01:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | Lol BuntuFuntu | 01:13 |
| wolfy1339 | how do you disable the feature "autosuspend" on usb devices (for my wifi adapter)? | 01:13 |
| BuntuFuntu | Lol I' m guessing that means they are Ubuntu Hardware-certified? | 01:13 |
| ricepuddin | so I've got install issues with ubuntu server. My keyboard works fine in the grub menu and the system boots into the console-based installer... but from then on in the keyboard doesn't work (looks like it's off, as the numlock light goes out immediately as it starts to boot). Does anyone have any ideas on this? The exact same system works fine with a desktop ubuntu install. Keyboard is a standard wired usb. | 01:13 |
| BuntuFuntu | I took a shot in the dark installing Ubuntu onto this netbook. I'm glad it works fine though ^_^ | 01:13 |

| BuntuFuntu | Topper: Do you recommend I upgrade from the 12.04 LTS to 13.10 or wait until the next LTS comes out? | 01:15 |
| topper4125 | I only go from LTS to LTS... but don't let that stop you... | 01:15 |
| Psil0Cybin | topper4125: do you think its an issue if your using out dated kernels too? | 01:15 |
| Psil0Cybin | does that not create security issues, etc? | 01:16 |
| Psil0Cybin | topper4125: so you would keep linux on ur machine with out dated kernels? | 01:16 |
| BuntuFuntu | I will wait for the next LTS then. | 01:16 |

| kelvinella | I have to do sudo rm file in terminal instead. but how do I make it so that it is mount like windows does? | 01:17 |
| topper4125 | I *could* be a security issue... just not one I concern myself with...personally the only security threat that scares me personally is the NSA, and they don't care what kernal you have... if they want in, they're in | 01:17 |

| BuntuFuntu | Brb just downloaded 8 Updates for Ubuntu 12.04 | 01:18 |
| wolfy1339 | hello? i have been posting my question and nobody has been answering..... i uderstsnd there were other people but you have to atleast answer later | 01:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | topper4125: so your saying u would keep ur linux for ever @ some kernel version even if it is out dated | 01:18 |
| BuntuFuntu | Wolfy1339: What's your question? | 01:19 |
| topper4125 | because of exactly "HOW OPEN" this community is, if there is a *huge* gapping security threat that is real to the end user, it generally gets outted by the public, before it becomes a threat.... | 01:19 |
| Psil0Cybin | i am just worried about security issues. I want to keep my machine secure, by keeping it up to date. | 01:19 |
| wolfy1339 | how do you disable the feature "autosuspend" on usb devices? | 01:19 |
| Psil0Cybin | I do not understand if i should go to Intels head office and have a talk with them this is ridicious | 01:19 |
| Psil0Cybin | i just bought this laptop I hate intel! | 01:19 |
| BuntuFuntu | Wolfy1339: Let me check that for you. | 01:19 |
| BuntuFuntu | Psil0cybin: I run with an Intel Atom processor and an Intel graphics driver/chip I think | 01:20 |
| BuntuFuntu | I remember seeing something about my system having Intel GMA 3150 or something when I had Windoze. | 01:20 |
| i00nsu | Psil0Cybin: did you check md5sum of the ubuntu.iso ? | 01:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | i00nsu: it was a long time ago before i knew how to do md5sum checks so i did not | 01:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | but i got the iso specifically off the ubuntu site for my acer aspire one | 01:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | i looked around for a long time and finally found an ISO that would boot up properly | 01:22 |

| wolfy1339 | BuntuFuntu, maybe... lemme look at it | 01:24 |
| BuntuFuntu | Well, atleast they were right about it running Ubuntu. | 01:25 |
| topper4125 | amd and nvidia are the answer to a majority of the problems that are caused by wheelings and dealings by microsoft and intel | 01:25 |
| minimec | Psil0Cybin: Stop with that bullsh..t. Use some integrated AMD GPU/CPU chip once under linux and then I ask you, wich company you hate. | 01:25 |
| BuntuFuntu | omg, exactly what minimec said. That stuff is hell. ._. | 01:26 |

| BuntuFuntu | Psilo what chip are you using? | 01:27 |
| wolfy1339 | BuntuFuntu, no... that's not it. in windows when you went to device manager and go to a device's properties you could disable that option. Is there an equivalent of that in ubuntu? | 01:27 |

| minimec | Psil0Cybin: I am running some self compiled linux-kernels here. I am not always on the 'newest' stuff here. Enjoy your ...55 version of that kernel until maybe version ...57 of the kernel fixes your bug! | 01:28 |
| topper4125 | True... it was one cpu, for one specific run...still doesn't make sense to me... but that's the game they play, and they play it well. if they want to lock themselves down to a limited market... who am I to judge... | 01:29 |
| BuntuFuntu | Psil0Cybin: Rest assured that your bug will not last for long. Once a bug is found, Kernel developers are quick to patch them. | 01:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | BuntuFuntu: but they are suggesting it has to do with intel | 01:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | minimec: if that is the solution i would love That!! | 01:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | i am just paranoid there will be no fix | 01:30 |
| BuntuFuntu | I don't see why. Intel has worked with the Linux community before. | 01:30 |
| BuntuFuntu | I'm pretty sure they have anyways. | 01:30 |

| zykotick9 | william1: you might want to check the size of apt's cache as well "du -sh /var/cache/apt/archives/", you can remove with "sudo apt-get clean" | 01:45 |
| daftykins | zykotick9: already shared that one ^_^ | 01:45 |
| william1 | also those old kernels don't take up too much of the extra space I am seeing. | 01:45 |

| wolfy1339 | In windows, when you went to device manager and go to a device's properties you could disable the "Allow the computer to diable this device to save power" option. Is there an equivalent of that in ubuntu 13.10? | 01:49 |
| william1 | daftykins: apt-get clean cleared out 408 MB :) | 01:49 |
| topper4125 | what exactly are your trying to disable wolfy1339 | 01:49 |
| wolfy1339 | topper4125, selective suspend | 01:50 |
| topper4125 | william1, do you have bleachbit installed? | 01:50 |
| topper4125 | !info bleachbit | 01:50 |
| ubottu | bleachbit (source: bleachbit): delete unnecessary files from the system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.6-1 (saucy), package size 356 kB, installed size 1891 kB | 01:50 |
| Jinxy | Hello all | 01:51 |
| william1 | topper4125: This is pretty much barebones and the only thing that changed and added that 400 MB was the dist-upgrade. | 01:51 |

| Jinxy | where would it be if not in /etc/ ? Can I just create another one? | 01:52 |
| william1 | Thanks topper4125 will look into that though | 01:52 |
| william1 | I asked earlier, will try again. Any reason someone would want to make a new installation of 10.04 LTS rather than 12.04 LTS? | 01:53 |
| wolfy1339 | topper4125, you are the second person to link me there.... i don't HAVE the program their using & talking about.... | 01:53 |
| wolfy1339 | and no that's not it | 01:53 |
| zykotick9 | william1: 10.04 is ONLY supported on servers at this point! that means MOST of the packages are NOT supported. | 01:53 |
| william1 | zykotick9: headless servers is the target. | 01:54 |
| BuntuFuntu | William1: Recommend a new install of Ubuntu 12.04, If your using Ubuntu 10 as a desktop. | 01:54 |
| william1 | zykotick9: specifically a Xen domU. Just wondering if there are valid resons people might need the older one. | 01:54 |
| zykotick9 | william1: well, don't expect many packages... if you go 10.04. | 01:54 |
| william1 | As an example I know of a few things that only run on CentOS 5. | 01:55 |

| topper4125 | To guess an answer or two as to why someone would willingly install a nonsupported ubuntu release (like 10.04)... 1) maybe its for a special use box, that they know 10.04 (or at least the kernal that came with it... just work out of the box). or 2) there was a wallpaper in 10.04 you really *really* *#really#* liked. | 02:00 |

| Jinxy | ¬¬ | 02:01 |
| daftykins | topper4125: 1) 10.04 server is still in support 2) 'kernel' not kernal and 3) good night! | 02:03 |

| Jinxy | So that it runs every time I login? | 02:07 |
| Jinxy | Not on boot | 02:07 |

| Jinxy | reisio: Don't understand | 02:08 |
| topper4125 | Sessions and Startup?? | 02:08 |

| topper4125 | BRB switching to Unity... | 02:09 |
| wafflejock | Jinxy: think he's asking if you want it to run during a graphical login or for all logins from say ssh or tty | 02:09 |
| wafflejock | Jinxy: I think you're basically looking at ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc but not entirely clear just popped in | 02:09 |
| Jinxy | waffflejock: Noob question, but every commands inside a user's ~/.bashrc are run when they login, correct? | 02:10 |
| wafflejock | Jinxy: here's the official stuff I beleive https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bash-Startup-Files.html | 02:11 |
| gp5st | does anyone know if libmagic reads whole files or only as much as it needs | 02:11 |
| wafflejock | Jinxy: but yah basically anytime bash shell is used which I believe is the default shell for users | 02:12 |
| topper4125 | Jinxy, use startup applications to have unity auto fire programs you want | 02:12 |
| Jinxy | wafflejock: okay I'll give it a whirl, thanks | 02:12 |
| wafflejock | topper4125: good point too ^ | 02:12 |
| Jinxy | topper4125: I'm using a cli but thanks :) | 02:12 |
| topper4125 | oh... then ya.. bash it then... | 02:13 |

| ^aDaM | hi Guest3828 | 02:47 |
| Moonlightning | I did a `sudo apt-get upgrade` just now, but /boot filled up. So I moved a bunch of (apparently) old kernels and such out to /var/tmp (instead of deleting them). Then I did `sudo apt-get upgrade` again, but it completed successfully without doing anything. I'm not sure everything is in a working state. Is there some kind of integrity check I can do? | 02:47 |
| Guest3828 | Hi aDaM | 02:47 |
| Moonlightning | all of {vmlinux,initrd.img}{,.old} point to existing files in /boot, and I /think/ the `.old`s point to kernels|images that were there before. If the kernel or image is bad, the system will fall back to the old ones, right? | 02:48 |

| wilee-nilee | JordanJ2, Both have relative info if you have a uefi setup, and grub info is needed. | 03:07 |
| JordanJ2 | wilee-nilee: I am installing Ubuntu in Legacy mode | 03:07 |
| JordanJ2 | I am running Windows 8 in EUFI with Secure Boot | 03:07 |
| wilee-nilee | JordanJ2, still relevant if the HD and computer is uefi, unless you have wiped the gpt from it, have you wiped the gpt? | 03:08 |
| JordanJ2 | I would like to know if I will have a problem installing GRUB2 in Ubuntu if it would still boot into windows hence different modes | 03:08 |
| JordanJ2 | No | 03:08 |
| wilee-nilee | JordanJ2, grub 2 is installed yes but not in the mbr. | 03:08 |

| randomer_ | how to detect the level of anonymity that a proxy has | 03:09 |
| reisio | randomer_: that's the opposite of what people using proxies want you to know | 03:09 |
| reisio | so, with some difficulty | 03:09 |
| JordanJ2 | wilee-nilee: So I will not have a problem? | 03:10 |
| wilee-nilee | JordanJ2, I believe the legacy is for a wiped HD no gpt so you can use the mbr. | 03:10 |
| randomer_ | reisio yes? | 03:10 |

| reisio | iIlL10Oo: how're you expecting it to change? | 03:27 |
| adamu | BuntuFuntu, Well at least he wasn't trying to install keyloggers for 16... thats pretty good :P | 03:27 |
| pero | where can i get the actual extension for chromium's unity web apps? i've lost it and get it back it no matter what (reinstalling chromium-browser, unity-webapps-common, etc) | 03:27 |
| iIlL10Oo | reisio: I edit the font , use fontforge . and the font is applyed in chrome , but in terminal , I need restart X | 03:27 |
| BuntuFuntu | Lol true. I love using Ubuntu though | 03:28 |

| CADBOT | Anyone ever have a problem with Ubuntu booting to Purple, stalling, then having kernal panic on subsequent bootups? | 03:28 |
| iIlL10Oo | reisio: yes , how to apply my font without restartX | 03:28 |

| reisio | iIlL10Oo: did you try ending all your X terminal processes? | 03:29 |
| iIlL10Oo | reisio: no | 03:29 |
| CADBOT | BuntuFuntu: Same thing happened after a dozen installs :/ | 03:29 |
| iIlL10Oo | reisio: why need restart process ? | 03:29 |
| reisio | iIlL10Oo: wouldn't it be simpler to change the name of the font :p | 03:29 |
| reisio | that way you also wouldn't confuse the original for the modified | 03:29 |
| BuntuFuntu | Cadbot: Is it an attempt to kill init or what? | 03:30 |

| xangua | JordanJ2: you have been asking the same for several hourse and have been said many times the answer is no | 03:45 |
| ubottu | jordan2: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 03:45 |
| duhamel | i know that i need to install the rt3290 driver i just cant make it therefor i can't make install | 03:45 |
| BuntuFuntu | Hmm... You can't make install? | 03:45 |
| JordanJ2 | Oh ok. | 03:45 |

| zykotick9 | babinlonston: i believe there is some tool for ubuntu that makes removing old kernels easier (sorry i don't know which one it is). You can use "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" to like your installed kernels (and simply manually uninstall the ones you don't need anymore) | 03:47 |

| qwerty1793 | hi, I'm running a program on 12.04 which is ram intensive, if I monitor its ram usage using top then when it gets to ~80% the entire computer freezes for ~1minute (like I can't even drag windows around) and then it springs back to life with ~60% being used. Is this the swap disk kicking in? | 03:53 |
| curatrix | qwerty1793: most likely, yes | 03:55 |
| qwerty1793 | curatrix: is there a way that I can make it less of a 'jolt'? while this happens the entire of ubuntu freezes | 03:56 |
| curatrix | not really. .....if you are sharing memory with the GPU, you might want to fiddle with the driver settings to make the graphics less resource intensive | 03:57 |
| curatrix | alternatively ...you could try a lightweight desktop like xfce | 03:58 |

| martinlemaitre | yea im lookin at it | 04:21 |
| martinlemaitre | theres x32 x86 and sun solaris | 04:21 |
| Diamondcite | martinlemaitre: You need to get it to from the terminal. to somehting like "cd Downloads" if that is where it is. | 04:21 |
| Diamondcite | martinlemaitre: The folder/directory names are case sensitive. | 04:22 |
| Diamondcite | martinlemaitre: I am assuming the bin file itself is some kind of linux executable like certain installers by the way. | 04:23 |
| martinlemaitre | its in Downloads -> Maple | 04:23 |

| cfhowlett | MVanDruff, details ... | 04:23 |
| curatrix | MVanDruff: Just ask your question | 04:23 |
| Diamondcite | Once you actually find the file and change in the folder with 'cd' try: sh filename.bin | 04:23 |
| IdleOne | Diamondcite: probably going to need to chmod +x first | 04:24 |
| MVanDruff | i am not sure why i am getting this issue http://pastebin.com/FRSaQUHv | 04:24 |
| martinlemaitre | u confusin me | 04:24 |

| MVanDruff | oh boy its been a while since i updated | 04:26 |

| MVanDruff | i am using xubuntu and i am afraid i have forgotten how to check the release | 04:27 |
| xangua | MVanDruff: lsb_release -a | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | MVanDruff, terminal lsb_release -a | 04:27 |

| MVanDruff | how far behind am i? | 04:28 |

| xangua | MVanDruff: not very much, it's the current LTS | 04:28 |
| Diamondcite | martinlemaitre: Why can't it open? usually gives a little more detailed message. | 04:29 |

| sr20dett | Is it possible to see voltages coming in from a mic or set of headphone plugged into the 3.5 audio jack or can you only hear the audio coming out? | 04:45 |
| beardtree | Hi, how do I check which /etc files differ from the package maintainer's version? | 04:45 |

| duhamel | hello all, i was just in here having trouble compiling my ralink rt3290 bluetooth driver. i got it to work by downloading file with source code and building and installing manually. thank you to all that helped me out. | 04:52 |
| jmgk | thanks wilee-nilee | 04:52 |
| sr20dett | I need to use coil windings such as speaker or headphones to pick up magnetic or electric pulses and then use the app to count the pulses. The epoxy is to keep the coil from moving and picking up sound | 04:52 |
| wilee-nilee | jmgk, You could start it from the cli and look for the errors when it crashes. | 04:53 |
| cfhowlett | sr20dett, not an ubuntu problem then ... | 04:53 |
| jmgk | ah | 04:53 |
| jmgk | :) | 04:53 |
| jmgk | Good idea i'll report them if i get them | 04:53 |
| sr20dett | Well i need to know if the driver supports this or just sound | 04:54 |
| sr20dett | I was just seeing if anyone had an idea | 04:54 |
| sr20dett | Or maybe a direction to look | 04:54 |

| cfhowlett | datapolitical, packages are brought into the official repo at their own time. if you need 3.3, install it manually. | 05:02 |

| firespeaker | I broke some packages and now when I boot normally it "hangs" after loading cups | 05:17 |
| firespeaker | I fixed the package manager issues, but the problem remains | 05:18 |
| firespeaker | (it doesn't really hang, it just doesn't let me do anything other than change terminals and make newlines) | 05:18 |
| manmohan | jmgk are you there? | 05:18 |
| jmgk | yes hi | 05:18 |
| komakino | xangua, Thanks. I suddenly realize i got the terms mixed up. What i'm looking for are other shells with global menu. | 05:18 |
| xangua | komakino: kde also has them, i believe gnome shell has a plugin too (only for gtk apps) | 05:19 |
| komakino | I kinda like gnome-shell But there is a deal breaker; the reeeeally ugly task list. | 05:19 |
| curatrix | What do mean by global menu? | 05:21 |
| komakino | curatrix, It's when the shell grabs the applications menu and puts it in the panel. | 05:22 |
| datapolitical | cfhowlett: you mean that each package gets added to the version depending on when it's needed (some packages are added even well after the ubuntu version is released {my partner is asking this}) | 05:23 |
| curatrix | komakino: I might be missing something here but as far as I know ....they all do | 05:24 |
| komakino | curatrix, No, only Unity, afaik. Like http://goo.gl/gQ4vAv | 05:25 |
| zykotick9 | Hai_Karate: fyi, you can save yourself some typing by using "apt-get purge foo" | 05:27 |
| === soul is now known as Guest66040 | ||
| cfhowlett | datapolitical, no. each package is "certified" (inexact term, but low on coffee) and added to the repo when all the necessary dependency/plugin/work is complete. so it's not unusual to see a lag on a specific package and its appearance in the ubuntu repos | 05:28 |
| Hai_Karate | thanks | 05:28 |
| curatrix | komakino: Do you mean a menu bar that has all the applications (an icon each) in it? | 05:29 |
| komakino | curatrix, No, look at the top of the screenshot. The unity panel grabs the terminal applications menu. | 05:30 |
| curatrix | komakino: Yeah ....they all can do it. | 05:31 |
| komakino | curatrix, Ok, how do you make gnome-shell do it? | 05:31 |
| === whoever is now known as Guest85314 | ||

| phong_ | reisio, help? | 05:42 |
| cfhowlett | !vnc | 05:43 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 05:43 |

| Humean | ok but I already have an ubuntu livecd in | 05:46 |
| reisio | Humean: so use that | 05:46 |
| Humean | where's the disk utility though | 05:46 |

| reisio | Humean: 'disk utility', is that what Mac OS calls it? | 05:47 |
| Humean | I thought that's what ubuntu calls it | 05:47 |
| Humean | what does ubuntu call it if not that | 05:47 |
| Humean | https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/saucy/gnome-disk-utility/ | 05:48 |
| phong_ | Paulus68_1, ? | 05:48 |
| reisio | _gnome_ disk utility, maybe :p | 05:48 |
| phong_ | Paulus68_1, i know TV can do it..but just curious how to get the VNC | 05:48 |
| reisio | Humean: smartmontools | 05:48 |
| reisio | waste of time, though | 05:48 |
| firespeaker | reisio: ah | 05:48 |
| firespeaker | reisio: what if the file doesn't exist? | 05:48 |
| Humean | reisio, so what's not a waste of time? | 05:49 |
| reisio | firespeaker: what if someone bakes a pizza | 05:49 |
| Paulus68_1 | phong_: it was just a thought | 05:50 |
| reisio | Humean: if you don't have more than one copy of data you care about? | 05:50 |
| firespeaker | reisio: what controls the file | 05:50 |
| reisio | Humean: make another copy | 05:50 |
| Humean | I did that | 05:50 |
| firespeaker | and what would make it not exist | 05:50 |
| Humean | ok I'm out then | 05:50 |
| reisio | firespeaker: dunno, probably shadow | 05:51 |
| reisio | firespeaker: maybe if nobody's logged in | 05:53 |
| firespeaker | reisio: do you know what package that is? | 05:53 |

| reisio | firespeaker: does it exist? | 05:56 |

| reisio | well, that's another question :p | 05:58 |
| firespeaker | it's what I was getting at with the first question | 05:59 |
| reisio | first? | 05:59 |
| firespeaker | previous | 05:59 |
| reisio | previous? | 06:00 |
| firespeaker | the previous question | 06:00 |
| reisio | pardon? | 06:00 |
| firespeaker | nothing | 06:00 |

| crypt0queen[L] | oops mt | 06:00 |
| firespeaker | my question stands | 06:00 |
| neil02 | I am having lots of trouble getting the tftpd-hpa to work ... it installed find ... but it doesn't seem to start... netstat shows nothing... can anyone help? | 06:00 |
| reisio | which question? | 06:00 |
| firespeaker | (00:57:23) firespeaker: the question is why would runlevel rely on something that requires someone to be logged on to exist | 06:01 |
| firespeaker | (00:58:06) reisio: well, that's another question :p | 06:01 |
| reisio | firespeaker: it's hard to imagine the answer to that question being particularly useful | 06:01 |
| reisio | either it requires it or it doesn't | 06:01 |
| firespeaker | maybe | 06:01 |
| reisio | if you find out why it requires it, you know why it requires it | 06:02 |
| firespeaker | you suggested it might | 06:02 |
| reisio | I'm going to suggest there's some reason we're talking about utmp :p | 06:02 |
| firespeaker | yeah, I'm working on stepping back and figuring out what I'm really asking | 06:03 |
| reisio | :) | 06:03 |
| firespeaker | so I'm trying to figure out why xorg loads the right driver within chroot when I boot off a live cd but tries to load a vesa driver when I boot off that fs | 06:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | bah this kernel is driving me nuts with this blackscreen of nonsense :P time for a beer so i can relax and destress. | 06:04 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: that sounds familiar... | 06:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | when all else fails you have booze :) | 06:04 |
| reisio | firespeaker: boot off? | 06:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | firespeaker: because i have been harrassing everyone here to help me all night lmaoo | 06:05 |
| firespeaker | reisio: as in, I'm running another OS off of external media, and am using chroot to access my main system | 06:06 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: more like they're harassing you | 06:06 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: stringent clinging to semantics and ignoring pragmatics is a good sign you're being trolled | 06:07 |
| reisio | firespeaker: what would that have to do with X? | 06:07 |
| firespeaker | reisio: that's the question | 06:08 |
| turtz | ubuntustudio & line6 ux2 | 06:08 |
| firespeaker | starting X on the same file system from different OSes has different results | 06:08 |
| reisio | firespeaker: it is? :/... | 06:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | no no no im harassing them :P | 06:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | i have trigger floodbot 40+ times. | 06:08 |
| reisio | firespeaker: yes, well... different OSes, that doesn't tell you much | 06:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | gues just a quick question if i am a kernel behind the newest release that isnt like an emergency right? | 06:09 |
| firespeaker | right, well, I've been trying to track down what about them is leading to the difference | 06:09 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: that's fine | 06:09 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, absolutely not an emergency | 06:09 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: unless there's some major update | 06:09 |
| * cfhowlett orders a ninja hit squad to psil0Cybin's house immediately! | 06:09 | |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: that has definitely already been answered | 06:10 |
| reisio | maybe people are ignoring you because you're ignoring them | 06:10 |
| xmetal | eh? ... i was ignoring both of you | 06:10 |
| xmetal | :P | 06:10 |
| Psil0Cybin | cfhowlett: :) which house is that...you mean the cave i call home in the mountin tops | 06:11 |
| Psil0Cybin | with my 3G stick? | 06:11 |
| Psil0Cybin | no dice. i win. | 06:11 |
| Psil0Cybin | catch me if you can. | 06:11 |
| Psil0Cybin | firespeaker: and thank you, so how long could i use an outdated kernel for lets say | 06:11 |
| Psil0Cybin | until there is a security breach of some sort? | 06:11 |
| reisio | even beyond that | 06:11 |
| Psil0Cybin | really? | 06:11 |
| reisio | until you can't | 06:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | so why do people upgrade kernels? | 06:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | i am soooo confused :) | 06:12 |
| reisio | it's good practice | 06:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | thats it? | 06:12 |
| reisio | it's very good practice | 06:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | so if i find a good kernel i could essencially stick to it | 06:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | for ever? | 06:12 |
| reisio | but technically, after you install an OS | 06:12 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, kernels do come with improvements. NOT having those improvements immediately is rarely fatal | 06:12 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: sometimes updates are important, sometimes you get nice features | 06:12 |
| reisio | you needn't ever modify it, ever | 06:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | *sorry for poor spelling* | 06:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | oh really...thats it?? I thought it was like an emergency to keep your system up to date | 06:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | as soon as possible | 06:12 |
| === soy2 is now known as soysauce | ||
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, you were misinformed | 06:13 |
| Psil0Cybin | thats why i have been freaking out | 06:13 |
| Psil0Cybin | oh....okay. | 06:13 |
| reisio | it's more important for servers | 06:13 |
| Psil0Cybin | oh wow | 06:13 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 06:13 |
| cfhowlett | ^^^ | 06:13 |
| reisio | but good practice for all systems | 06:13 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea well i wannnt to keep my system up to date but this new kernel is just a no go for my gfx drivers | 06:13 |
| reisio | or anybody who wants FOO awful package like Flash to keep working | 06:13 |
| wilee-nilee | some ignore the obvious dufus | 06:13 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: did you try an even newER version yet? | 06:13 |
| Psil0Cybin | stupid intel :( | 06:13 |
| Psil0Cybin | no just what was given for LTS | 06:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | by the sudo dist-upgrade | 06:14 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, good practice also means keeping at least one outdated but working kernel present on your system. | 06:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | yup thats what im using | 06:14 |
| neil02 | I am having lots of trouble getting the tftpd-hpa to work ... it installed find ... but it doesn't seem to start... netstat shows nothing, and there is nothing in syslog as to why... can anyone help? | 06:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | i am using 3.2.0-55-generic-pae | 06:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | but i want to use 3.2.0-56-generic-pae | 06:14 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, why? if .55 works ... | 06:14 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: 3.2? that's pretty old | 06:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | because i thought it was needed for security reasons | 06:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | and yes its a old netbook | 06:15 |
| Psil0Cybin | :( lol | 06:15 |
| Psil0Cybin | cfhowlett: i thought kernels keep your system secure from exploites on linux systems lets say | 06:15 |
| cfhowlett | neil02, that a server type thing? maybe in #ubuntu-server channel | 06:15 |
| reisio | please stop frowning, if we wanted to baby sit little girls, we'd /join #kindergarten | 06:15 |
| neil02 | cfhowlett, maybe... I will try | 06:15 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, kernels have MANY uses and utilities | 06:15 |
| * ianorlin is using 3.11-12 | 06:15 | |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: do you have intel gma 3150 series stuff, on an off chance? | 06:15 |
| Psil0Cybin | firespeaker: what do u mean | 06:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | the intel is that in the additional drivers? | 06:19 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: I mean your graphics hardware | 06:19 |
| === matthewvz is now known as Guest52435 | ||
| Psil0Cybin | yea i have both cedarview trail gfx and the intel enabed | 06:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | it gives me two to use. | 06:22 |
| firespeaker | interesting | 06:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | why is it odd that it gives me two? | 06:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea i have both drm driver for intel gma500 and intel cedarview graphic driver selected firespeaker | 06:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | i just checked. | 06:23 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: cool | 06:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | why did you say interesting is that bad? do you normally have just one? | 06:25 |
| firespeaker | Psil0Cybin: you can have whatever drivers you want installed | 06:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | oh okay i guess so it woudnt cause conflicts right? | 06:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | or it could and it all dpends on every different situation | 06:27 |

| === jeff_liu is now known as jeffliu | ||
| Psil0Cybin | i have another question guys when u said i use 3.2 and its outdated | 06:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | what does that mean when that is the latest build i can get | 06:32 |
| reisio | https://kernel.org/ has the latest versions | 06:34 |
| reisio | the latest Ubuntu version will be a little lower than that | 06:34 |
| reisio | but only a little | 06:34 |
| reisio | and that's only for a new version | 06:34 |
| reisio | there are already 3.12 builds for Ubuntu | 06:35 |
| wilee-nilee | I gots 3.12 in the development | 06:35 |
| Psil0Cybin | so why would someone want a new kernel as opposed to an old one? | 06:37 |
| firespeaker | omg seriously Psil0Cybin | 06:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | like if i cannot get the new kernel using dist-upgrade | 06:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | would i still get it? | 06:37 |
| firespeaker | we've been over this | 06:37 |
| firespeaker | 1. sometimes there are important improvements, 2. sometimes there are useful new features | 06:37 |
| reisio | for the same reason anyone would ever want anything new | 06:38 |
| wilee-nilee | street creds | 06:38 |
| firespeaker | there are always minor improvements here or there | 06:38 |
| reisio | wouldn't matter if there were | 06:38 |
| firespeaker | yeah, they probably don't affect most users | 06:38 |
| reisio | wouldn't matter if they did :) | 06:39 |
| firespeaker | reisio: specify the scope of "matter" | 06:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay sorry guys i am a slow learner, i am teaching my self everything from scratch :) i am new to linux, but i learn by asking questions sometimes over and over but to be honest everyone says something different so i ask incase someone else has something else to say but yes i appologize firespeaker | 06:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | I just want to make sure what ever I learn is right, I want to maintain my system properly, and learn how to use linux properly, i do not just want to sit by and idle as I have problems like some suggest just to remove the problematic kernel | 06:41 |
| reisio | firespeaker: no :p | 06:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Psil0Cybin, opinions with research are an better, research is the optimal really. | 06:41 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: updating is good, not updating is bad, not updating when updating breaks things is entirely sensible | 06:42 |
| wilee-nilee | opinions are subjective | 06:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay thats what i really wanted to know. | 06:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | reisio: thank you and thank you wilee-nilee . | 06:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | guess linux is just a very complicated O.S | 06:42 |

| pero | lay off the shrooms | 06:43 |

| reisio | most distro versions endure through a handful of kernel images made for that ersion | 07:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | interesting wow :) | 07:18 |
| reisio | and then you can of course fudge virtually any version you like in | 07:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: it depends on when you installed the kernel. 12.04 has 3.2 12.04.2 has 3.5 and 12.04.3 has 3.8 12.04.4 will have 3.11 | 07:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | reisio: i have no money to go out and buy linux books, what do you recommend i read to teach me everything i need to know about linux security and maintaining a healthy system | 07:19 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: that's a black hole of information :) | 07:19 |
| xirre | reisio: BYOND v498 works and so does v440. Thanks. I can connect to my server and etc. | 07:19 |
| reisio | xirre: gj | 07:19 |
| th0r | Psil0Cybin: you might check out the linux documentation project....ltdp.org I think | 07:19 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security has some very basic documentation | 07:20 |
| th0r | Psil0Cybin: oops...tldp.org | 07:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | reisio: oh aha :P I just am sooo lost and i hate bugging you guys 24/7 about every nitty gritty question i cannot understand i really wish i could read like a guide online that would slowly teach me how to properly use linux | 07:20 |
| galabala | Yolo | 07:20 |
| galabala | Swag | 07:20 |
| Paulus68_1 | Psil0Cybin: google is your friend if you like to have info about these subject and be creative | 07:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | thanks th0r and reisio :) | 07:20 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: try to keep in mind that a lot of Unix security is focused on people who may well be running a mission critical server for NASA and the NSA combined :p | 07:20 |
| reisio | for an ordinary desktop user, almost all of it is overkill | 07:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea but i sometimes have no idea what to google, i just wish i had material i could read that would teach me the steps of maintaining a proper system | 07:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | like i could google till im blue in the face and i still would be missing some crucial information | 07:20 |
| reisio | well if it was easy to absorb, there would be no system exploitation :) | 07:21 |
| galabala | YoLo | 07:21 |
| reisio | :) | 07:21 |
| th0r | Psil0Cybin: on tldp check out the System Administrators Guide and the Network Administrators Guide. | 07:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | reisio: so i want to learn how to be as secure as any three letter agency:) if that is proper praticce. | 07:21 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: there are worse goals | 07:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | i dont wnat to be over paranoid but i wt to be safe and feel secure | 07:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | i dunno just dont want to get into bad linux habits | 07:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | thats all | 07:22 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: you really just need to be up-to-date, configure your firewall, and encrypt sensitive data | 07:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | if i learn how to do something , i want to learn properly. :) | 07:22 |
| === Guest49493 is now known as transentina | ||
| Psil0Cybin | well i am up to date othe then my god darn kernel so | 07:22 |
| reisio | unfortunately the kernel matters :) | 07:22 |
| reisio | but for example | 07:22 |
| reisio | the last big kernel vuln had to do with getting root when you were just a user | 07:23 |
| reisio | which is really only useful to someone who has ssh'd into your box somehow | 07:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | well that would worry me | 07:23 |
| reisio | most desktops don't even need sshd running all the time | 07:23 |
| === nullernull is now known as aldierdbeerpuddi | ||
| reisio | even though it's useful | 07:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | i would hate to have a security issue like that :( | 07:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea that is true | 07:23 |
| === transentina is now known as dettttleffff_ | ||
| reisio | and on top of that | 07:24 |
| reisio | for most desktop boxes, your user has access to all your truly important data, your personal data, already | 07:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | that is true | 07:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | but still root can keep settings changed in the system | 07:25 |
| reisio | so the exploit wouldn't actually have gotten them anything they wouldn't already have had after figuring out how to access your user account | 07:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | all my personal data is already encrypted | 07:25 |
| reisio | which is not necessarily a simple feat | 07:25 |
| reisio | just try to keep it in perspective :) | 07:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | thats true actually | 07:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | your making alot of sense reisio thank you | 07:25 |
| reisio | go outside every now and then and make that vitamin d :) | 07:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | for your perspective. | 07:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | hahha i am outside all the time. i work (have a dog, have a gf that i drive around everywhere ) linux is my time to shine | 07:26 |

| === dettttleffff_ is now known as transentina | ||
| Psil0Cybin | i just find it super interesting, i hate windows compared to linux | 07:26 |
| reisio | don't we all | 07:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | windows i a lazy mans machine linux is for people whoalways want to learn | 07:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | and i love learning | 07:26 |
| reisio | I don't know | 07:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | if only i went back n time 5 years id go to college for linux | 07:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | sadly i did not | 07:26 |
| reisio | I think the OS you have to spend less time reinstalling and rebooting is more for a lazy person :) | 07:26 |
| reisio | I've done one reinstall since 2005 | 07:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | wow | 07:27 |
| reisio | because I switched from x86 to amd64 | 07:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | that is amazing | 07:27 |
| reisio | and that basically requires a reinstall | 07:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | so if your system the most up to date? | 07:27 |
| reisio | not using Ubuntu, but technically one could have :p | 07:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | what version are you using reisio ? | 07:27 |
| reisio | no, I reboot for the usual things, kernel updates | 07:28 |
| reisio | though if you were bored enough you could get into kexec or ksplice to avoid even that | 07:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | wow | 07:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | i did not know that | 07:28 |
| reisio | so you have a critical server | 07:28 |
| reisio | and someone finds an exploit to the kernel | 07:28 |
| meteors2313 | hello | 07:29 |
| reisio | you can patch it and start it without rebooting all the systems | 07:29 |
| reisio | meteors2313: 'lo | 07:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | no way really?! | 07:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | reisio: | 07:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | linux is incredible....and mind blowing | 07:29 |
| reisio | pretty much | 07:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | that is actually nuts | 07:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | why do people even use windows for a server? | 07:29 |
| reisio | ignorance :) | 07:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | Like i am going into Health and Datamangement and sadly they use Windows | 07:30 |

| Jordan_U | thunder1212: Why did anyone convert a 1 page document from a jpg to a PDF? | 08:02 |
| thunder1212 | hitsujiTMO: i issued this command gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf and i got a pdf of 800kb | 08:04 |

| hitsujiTMO | thunder1212: can i ask why you need it to be 500kb? | 08:06 |
| thunder1212 | hitsujiTMO: bcoz there is some silly form i have to fill which requires a particular document in pdf format of 500 kb | 08:08 |

| __raven_ | Sazzaj: i dont know what is the "builtin" mechanism in xubuntu 13.10 | 09:31 |
| __raven_ | Sazzaj: wakeup crashes everytime so at least shutdown should be possible | 09:32 |
| Sazzaj | open a shell and type man pm-suspend | 09:32 |
| Sazzaj | oh ok | 09:32 |
| Sazzaj | so do a man shutdown instead | 09:33 |

| Walex | dol: that's a loaded question.. | 09:43 |
| Walex | dol: there is also and #ALSA channel but it is not that active. | 09:43 |
| Walex | dol: however, try to ask about your 'asound.conf' question, dangerous as it is. | 09:44 |
| maicsmarties | http://www.LittleStacy.com?id=99194 | 09:44 |
| dol | Walex, I have asked there as well but as you said, not active. so I am trying my chance here. | 09:44 |
| dol | Walex, :) | 09:44 |
| Walex | dol: so go ahead and ask... | 09:45 |
| dol | Walex, I have an asound.conf which is pretty much copy paste form here :http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc#Virtual_multi_channel_devices | 09:45 |
| dol | Walex, what I do is, I have two soud cards and I multiplex incoming source to those sound cards | 09:46 |
| dol | Walex, works perfect. but here is the issue | 09:46 |
| dol | Walex, I have multiple sources as well. So I need to dmix incoming sources too | 09:46 |
| dol | I couldn't figure out how to use multi plugin togerther with dmix | 09:46 |
| dol | Walex, did you understand my issue? | 09:47 |
| Walex | dol: that sounds very dangerous... I did not understand fully because you seem to use 'incoming' and 'source' in an unexpected way. | 09:47 |
| Walex | dol: however I have written a details introduction to such things with a number of example in the links that follow. | 09:48 |
| dol | Walex, let's imagine that I have 3 audio sources and 2 sound cards. I want audio to be mixed and played in both sound cards. | 09:48 |
| Walex | dol: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxSoundALSA.html#share | 09:49 |
| Walex | dol: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Cfg/ALSA/ | 09:49 |
| dol | Walex, these are the links that I haven't met yet. I will read them and report you back | 09:49 |
| Walex | dol: but also consider a sound daemon to do that. | 09:50 |
| dol | Walex, how do you mean? | 09:50 |
| Walex | dol: something like JACK or PulseAudio | 09:50 |
| dol | Walex, but there is a plugin called dmix? | 09:51 |
| dol | Walex, i tried it and it works as well. but couldn't combine them (dmix and multi) | 09:51 |
| Walex | dol: most likely you want 'copy' rather than 'multi'. But you can stack 'dmix' and 'multi' or 'copy'. | 09:53 |
| dol | Walex, can you give me an example of stacking? | 09:53 |
| dol | Walex, and is there any copy plugin? I haven't heard of it yet | 09:53 |
| Walex | dol: e.g. 'plug:dmix' anyhow the sample config files in that directory show how to do it. | 09:54 |
| Walex | dol: the 'asound.conf' file is vaguely similar to Lisp macros, and you can have a plugin as an output of another plugin. | 09:55 |
| dol | Walex, I will try that | 09:55 |
| Walex | as you will see from the sample 'asound.conf' the syntax is very peculiar to say the least | 09:56 |
| CaBa | hi | 09:57 |
| meet_praveen | how can we see running servers(like-apache,postgres....) in ubuntu | 09:57 |

| Walex | meet_praveen: those are called 'daemons' usually, and there is no guaranteed way to see only daemons, because daemons are by and large just ordinary processes, but there are imprecise ways. | 09:58 |
| Walex | meet_praveen: one way is 'service --status-all'. | 09:59 |

| meet_praveen | Walex: it shows all running services? | 10:00 |
| Walex | CaBa: I think it does. Note that EFI can do both signed and not-signed booting depending on how you configure it. | 10:01 |
| hiuhewquheuwiwqe | but i cant install apps at work | 10:01 |
| hiuhewquheuwiwqe | anyway to circumvent this? | 10:01 |
| Walex | CaBa: 12.04 has signed kernels and booting available, not sure if it can do *install* with them. | 10:01 |
| === AlexPortable_ is now known as AlexPortable | ||
| Walex | hiuhewquheuwiwqe: you can only install packages in the default system locations if you have 'root' permissions. | 10:02 |
| k1l | hiuhewquheuwiwqe: if you dont have sudo-rights (are not in the admin group) talk to the admin | 10:02 |
| Walex | hiuhewquheuwiwqe: but you can surely create your own package subtree under your home directory; but you have to recompile things usually. | 10:02 |

| NET||abuse | i'm trying to use ssh -D 8989 myremotebox and firefox doesn't seem to want to work | 10:26 |
| zztopless | Wondering if anyone has had success seting up their xorg.conf file to allow monitors running off sifferent GPUs to wrun together (nouveau does this out of the box, but I need to be able to use the nvidia driver for cuda) | 10:27 |
| Walex | NET||abuse: have you told Firefox that is your proxy port? | 10:27 |
| NET||abuse | i use -vN to get debug output on the ssh terminal,, i just get"debug1: Connection to port 8989 forwarding to socks port 0 requested." and 2 more lines | 10:27 |
| zztopless | the other gpu is the intel onboard that comes with most z77 boards | 10:28 |
| lucido | can someone please tell me what's wrong with my xorg.conf? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6404566/ | 10:28 |
| aslan | hi how can I set the password in grub2 | 10:28 |
| NET||abuse | " channel 2: new [dynamic-tcpip]" and "channel 2: free: dynamic-tcpip, nchannels 3" | 10:28 |
| NET||abuse | Walex: yeh, i configured the network settings, i've tried unticking "use this proxy server for all protocols" and set ssl,ftp and socks by hand to localhost:8989 | 10:29 |
| zztopless | lucido: what gpu are you running? | 10:29 |
| NET||abuse | so it seems to be hitting the ssh tunnel, but not actually utilising it. | 10:29 |
| Rhomber | question, does anyone know of any USB sound cards (with SPDIF and 5.1 channels) that work with Ubuntu? (pulse e.t.c.)? | 10:30 |
| Walex | NET||abuse: that's not the right thing. '-D' sets up a SOCKS proxy, not an SSL or FTP proxy. | 10:30 |
| NET||abuse | Walex: i do a curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:8989 http://www.google.co.uk and that worked. | 10:30 |
| Rhomber | been searching all day, after finding out my creative extigy isn't compatible | 10:30 |
| Walex | NET||abuse: Firefox you need to set only the SOCKS setting to have all other Firefox protocols proxied by SOCKS. | 10:31 |
| NET||abuse | ahhh | 10:31 |
| lucido | zztopless, nvidia-304 driver, problem is that x starts up with NULL modeline and defaults on 1024x768, what mt lcd cant display | 10:31 |
| lucido | GT630 | 10:32 |
| Walex | NET||abuse: note that it is not necessarily the case that *DNS* requests are proxied via SOCKSs. If that matters you may need to check that. | 10:32 |
| NET||abuse | yeh, saw that in the about:conifg | 10:32 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Passwords, the usual 'be carefull not to lock yourself out' notice applies | 10:32 |
| zztopless | lucido: looks alot different to my xorg.conf (sorry am in windows atm, don't have access to it), I am running kubuntu, but still | 10:33 |
| NET||abuse | Walex: but really i just want to hit a server from my home ip rather than work ip for testing :) | 10:33 |
| zztopless | there is no reference to your gpu which seems strange | 10:33 |
| Walex | NET||abuse: for testing, sure... :-) | 10:33 |
| NET||abuse | Walex: so blanking out those http, ssl and ftp values and ports just leaves the tab spinning when i try google. | 10:34 |
| Walex | NET||abuse: if you have low latency to home it may be safer to setup x VNC session and running the browser entiely at home. | 10:34 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, | 10:34 |
| Walex | NET||abuse: works here... I'll try again. | 10:34 |
| zztopless | I have been playing around with mine to try and get the onbaord and discreent gpus running together to run 3 monitors and I have a device section for the gpu | 10:34 |
| NET||abuse | Walex: seems like hastle, also i dont have X on my home box, headless little microserver | 10:34 |
| zztopless | something like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18382271/how-can-i-modify-xorg-conf-file-to-force-x-server-to-run-on-a-specific-gpu-i-a | 10:35 |
| onazari | @ObrienDave I want darw a plan by utm in librecad. | 10:35 |
| Walex | NET||abuse: a VNC server does not need an real X session, it is all in memory. | 10:35 |
| NET||abuse | Walex: oh i know, but you still need massive amount of supporting packages t run a remote X application over ssh x forwarding | 10:36 |
| NET||abuse | or even vnc | 10:36 |
| NET||abuse | Walex: I just don't want to dirty up my remote server with all that. | 10:36 |
| aslan | hi how can I set the password in grub2 | 10:37 |

| ActionParsnip | esdf: man googlecl amy show how | 11:15 |
| aslan | ActionParsnip, I tried that, its not working | 11:15 |
| esdf | ActionParsnip nop, just read thru their manual page online, doesn't show anything | 11:16 |
| esdf | ActionParsnip well is there any command line tool that lets me select a channel under account? | 11:16 |
| aslan | ActionParsnip, sometimes the grub menu is appearing but I can see only one entry in that | 11:16 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: i need to hit the Esc key, seems to differ | 11:16 |
| Priesty | I would use grub but unfortunately microsoft tends to set its boot manager as the default one each time windows updates certain files | 11:18 |
| Priesty | hence the need to have a fall back with the windows boot menu | 11:18 |
| Priesty | so I really need to add linux to the bcd store in the efi partition using bcdedit in windows | 11:19 |
| aslan | ActionParsnip, glitsj16, The actual issue is GRUB menu doesn't have much info, i mean the GRUB menu have only one entry im not getting the init levels to load or changing the other variables | 11:19 |
| Priesty | That way I will see it on the windows boot menu and grub and the user can switch back and forth as they wish | 11:20 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: is this grub2 ? | 11:20 |
| aslan | glitsj16, yes its grub2 | 11:21 |
| Priesty | so if anyone knows where to find the information for adding linux to the windows boot menu with uefi/secure boot and gpt harddrive partitions | 11:21 |
| Priesty | You'll make my day | 11:21 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: more recent ubuntu's offer grub submenus, might be also helpfull if you could pastebin /etc/default/grub | 11:22 |
| aslan | glitsj16, do you want grub.cfg ? | 11:23 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: no, let's start with /etc/default/grub | 11:24 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: that's the main grub2 configuration that puts the /boot/grub/grub.cfg together | 11:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Priestly: you don't need to add windows to the grub menu for uefi. just use the efi boot manager | 11:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | Priesty: or the other way around. even | 11:25 |
| aslan | glitsj16, I will bundle the grub folder and give you now | 11:25 |
| Priesty | I can add windows to grub not a problem but windows tends to put it's boot manager as the default one when it updates certain files so it is important that there is a linux enrty in the windows boot menu | 11:29 |
| Priesty | but no one knows how to do this with gpt harddrive | 11:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | Priesty: your uefi/bios has its own boot manager. Use that. adding another os to BCD messes up the fast boot anytime you want to boot to another OS. | 11:30 |
| Priesty | I have been using that menu no problems but we produce a java program that runs on linux for older users that need an easy to use interface so they can choose between linux or windows | 11:32 |
| Priesty | it is not always f9 to boot a different os | 11:33 |
| picapica | hi. I am running some cpu intensive processes and for some reason the processes are running much slower than they ought to be. | 11:35 |
| Priesty | so I know it is possible to add linux to the windows boot menu and have it booting with fast boot because i have already done it but when i tried to do it again it did not work so i obviously did something the first time that i may not been aware of | 11:35 |
| picapica | I believe the processes that are running are also very disk intensive so that might be a possible issue as well. | 11:35 |
| picapica | is there are diagnostic tool in the standard Ubuntu Quantal distro that will let me check to see what may be the problem? | 11:35 |

| PaRaD0xxR | heh..all I'm saying, 2nd hard drive only sporadically showed up the way it was booting into Ubuntu, but xp saw it everytime..just the facts ;) | 12:00 |
| PaRaD0xxR | yeah, bizarre | 12:00 |
| PaRaD0xxR | could be coindence, but 3 reboots now, and it's still there fine ;) | 12:00 |
| PaRaD0xxR | cable was somewhat loose, had just put a new right angle cable on it | 12:01 |
| moppy | PaRaD0xxR, If it's a loose cable, it's OS-independent. Either the firmware sees the drive and reports it to the OS, or it doesn't. | 12:01 |
| PaRaD0xxR | ahh | 12:01 |
| PaRaD0xxR | now I can't figure out how to share my printer on here | 12:01 |
| PaRaD0xxR | I assume that's an easier fix ;) | 12:01 |
| Walex | brandy: there is a specific channel for C/C++ help | 12:02 |
| aslan | glitsj16, here is the list of grub.d http://paste.ubuntu.com/6404932/ | 12:02 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: you need to set the printer to be shared and make is discoverable to other machines | 12:03 |
| st_prg | Hi guys, I'm having a bit of an issue with my menu. Nothing is visible except files. | 12:03 |
| PaRaD0xxR | I think it is shared | 12:03 |
| PaRaD0xxR | the box is checked | 12:03 |
| PaRaD0xxR | enabled is checked, shared is checked.. | 12:03 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: please dont use the enter key just type all you need to say in one go | 12:03 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: is this on ubuntu? | 12:04 |
| PaRaD0xxR | ok sorry ;) yes, 12.04. | 12:04 |
| st_prg | This is what I'm seeing... http://s17.postimg.org/x37fxo4gf/Screenshot_from_2013_11_12_20_00_46.png | 12:04 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: looks ok .. did you try to regenerate /boot/grub/grub.cfg by running 'sudo update-grub' yet? Please try that and resend /boot/grub/grub.cfg pls | 12:04 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: in printer properties you need to click the server tab and tick enable to be discovered | 12:04 |
| PaRaD0xxR | on the policies page, enabled.accepting jobs, and shared all checked, but says "not published - see server settings" | 12:05 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: ^^ server settings ;) | 12:05 |
| PaRaD0xxR | hm....I dont' see a server settings tab? | 12:05 |
| PaRaD0xxR | o...in the menu bar? | 12:06 |
| PaRaD0xxR | I was looking in the window ;) | 12:06 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: yeah !! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 12:07 |
| PaRaD0xxR | :) | 12:07 |
| PaRaD0xxR | thanks, I see it now | 12:07 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: I always found it odd that shared was not enough | 12:07 |
| PaRaD0xxR | yeah, that option should in the window with the other stuff, I will try it now and let you know | 12:08 |
| aslan | glitsj16, while doing the update Im getting the error as "cat: /boot/grub/video.lst: No such file or directory | 12:09 |
| aslan | " | 12:09 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: if you need to print to it from windows all you need to do is install Samba on the ubuntu print server and reboot. Windows will then find it as a network printer | 12:09 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: no other settings needed. I did this last week. | 12:09 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: looks like a reinstall of your grub2 packages are needed, you're missing critical files .. what do you use to install software on your machine ? I ask because our systems will differ , i can't simply give you a command just yet .. but this explains your trouble | 12:13 |
| === rory is now known as Rory | ||
| PaRaD0xxR | hmmm...samba? | 12:15 |
| PaRaD0xxR | I can see other windows machines fine, does that mean samba is already setup? Or is this something also needed for printing? | 12:15 |
| aslan | glitsj16, I GRUB has been updated successfully by creating the file video.lst in /boot/grub/video.lst and the new grub is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6404984/ | 12:17 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: for printing from windows to an ubuntu print server. Also use for file access. Basically for printing you just install samba package on the ubuntu machine that has the printer connected to it | 12:17 |
| PaRaD0xxR | philinux: that's what I'm asking...how can I tell if its already installed? | 12:19 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: how exactly did you create video.lst? there's still no boot items in there | 12:19 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: apt-cache policy samba | 12:20 |
| PaRaD0xxR | I can see windows pcs files already, just can't print from them | 12:20 |
| aslan | glitsj16, This is the command to create that "echo vbe | tee /boot/grub/video.lst" | 12:20 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: it only needs installing on the ubuntu print server to | 12:20 |
| PaRaD0xxR | says "samba : installed: (none)" | 12:21 |
| PaRaD0xxR | candidate...version table. I'm assuming this means it isn't installed? | 12:22 |
| === JoshuaP is now known as JoshuaP-afk | ||
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: your eyes do not deceive you | 12:22 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: fine, but your 10_linux section is not showing any bootable menu items .. strange | 12:22 |
| PaRaD0xxR | sudo apt-get install samba then? | 12:22 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: indeed | 12:23 |
| PaRaD0xxR | I have to reboot? | 12:23 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xxR: ah you'll need to reboot the print server for samba to be running. | 12:23 |
| PaRaD0xxR | ok, brb | 12:23 |
| shambat | which is authoritative? /etc/hostname or the hostname command? my system is showing different things for these two. | 12:24 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: in http://paste.ubuntu.com/6404851/ you at least at the 'MAC Gio V1.0' item, now that is gone too | 12:24 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: is this a fresh install? and of which ubuntu? | 12:26 |
| aslan | glebihan, its ubuntu 11.0 | 12:26 |
| aslan | and its not a fress install,my friend have done someting in this | 12:26 |
| aslan | I'm not able to fix this | 12:26 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: nice friend lol | 12:26 |
| aslan | glitsj16, :) | 12:27 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: maybe that's why you're looking to password protect your grub hehe .. 11.0 is no longer supported btw, you are aware of that yes? | 12:28 |
| aslan | glitsj16, ya I knew that | 12:29 |
| aslan | glitsj16, is there any other possibility to fix this | 12:29 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: i can't see anything directly, but i'll look around in the forums etc. ok | 12:30 |
| aslan | glitsj16, Thank you for your support | 12:31 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: you will need all the grub related packages and reinstall them, not sure where we can track those down for 11.0 | 12:31 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: no problem, didn't really solve anything yet :) .. do you have a live cd of 11.0 by any chance? | 12:32 |
| philinux | shambat: both same here | 12:33 |
| PaRaD0xx | hmmm | 12:34 |
| PaRaD0xx | don't know if I missed anything there | 12:34 |
| st_prg | Hi guys, I'm still having an issue with my menu. Only category that is showing is Files and Folders, although I also have applications selected. | 12:35 |
| shambat | philinux: if you have the chance, could you try to change it with the hostname command? sudo hostname yourhostname.local | 12:35 |
| shambat | and then check | 12:35 |
| PaRaD0xx | I can see the computer thats sharing the printer now in the add printer dialogs...but not a printer under it | 12:35 |
| st_prg | http://s17.postimg.org/x37fxo4gf/Screenshot_from_2013_11_12_20_00_46.png | 12:35 |
| philinux | shambat: have you seen the man page for hostname | 12:35 |
| meet_praveen | can i split the hard disk in several partition in ubuntu like in windows | 12:36 |
| PaRaD0xx | "you need to specify a valid network printer name" | 12:36 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: now on the windows machine you need to search for network printers from the printer dialog gui | 12:36 |
| aslan | glitsj16, ya I do have that | 12:37 |
| philinux | meet_praveen: yep | 12:37 |
| meet_praveen | philinux: how? | 12:37 |
| PaRaD0xx | yeah, I browsed...and I see all my windows machines...and I see the name this ubuntu box gave to the printer...and the lil blue pc icon...but I can't click on it to see the printer icon | 12:37 |
| shambat | philinux: I just did and it seems to have cleared things up :) | 12:37 |
| DJones | meet_praveen: Yes you can, but you can't do it with a mounted disk, if the disk you want to partition has your operating system on, you'll need to use a LiveDVD/USB so that the hard drive isn't mounted when you come to partition it, you can use gparted to repartition | 12:38 |
| PaRaD0xx | if I click on it, I get "you need to specify a valid network printer name" | 12:38 |
| DJones | !partitioning | meet_praveen | 12:38 |
| ubottu | meet_praveen: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 12:38 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: i'm not in win 7 at the moment. IIRc there's a button add network printer | 12:38 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: ok, let's boot that and try to get back in here, we'll give a shot at moving the needed packages from that iso onto your natty | 12:38 |
| PaRaD0xx | this is actually xp atm | 12:39 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: you may need to reboot the win machine too | 12:39 |
| luzx | what? | 12:40 |
| aslan | glitsj16, you want me to boot and live cd for grub update | 12:40 |
| meet_praveen | philinux: in system it shows single disk | 12:40 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: yes, we need a way to get at those grub related .deb files, otherwise your system will stay broken | 12:41 |
| philinux | meet_praveen: DJones gave you the answer | 12:41 |
| === kevin is now known as Guest39888 | ||
| PaRaD0xx | k, I'm rebooting the xp box | 12:41 |
| PaRaD0xx | I can see the pc icon, has a plus...but can't click on it to see the printer | 12:42 |
| PaRaD0xx | still rebooting | 12:42 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: no idea how to with xp. | 12:42 |
| goldstar | i am using saucy and have noticed that everytime I start my PC it takes about 5-10 minutes for my interface card to connect to the network. Does anyone know how I can diagnose this ? | 12:42 |
| PaRaD0xx | maybe reboot will fix ;) | 12:42 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: the answer will be in the printers gui on xp and "out there" somewhere | 12:43 |
| PaRaD0xx | out there? | 12:43 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: net search on www | 12:43 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: are you ok with that? and that will give you the opportunity to backup all what's on your presently unbootable system from that live cd as well | 12:43 |
| meet_praveen | philinux: DJones : i partitioned in two parts one for root installation and other with mount point boot ..so other partition is showing in system's boot folder | 12:44 |
| st_prg | Hello. I am having issues seeing menu items, I can only see files and folders. No applications. | 12:44 |
| aslan | glitsj16, ya glitch Could you plz give me the steps to do that... because I got few things to take the backup right now | 12:44 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/print_connect_net_printerw.mspx?mfr=true | 12:45 |
| philinux | st_prg: which ubuntu? | 12:46 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: sure, let's focus on the grub issue first ok, once you've booted from your natty cd we'll see what we can solve and take it from there | 12:46 |
| meet_praveen | DJones : i partitioned in two parts one for root installation and other with mount point boot ..so other partition is showing in system's boot folder....... now what should i do? | 12:46 |
| PaRaD0xx | philinux: thanks, I will keep trying | 12:47 |
| st_prg | philinux: 13.10 64 bit. Upgraded from 13.04 about a week ago, no issues up until today. | 12:47 |
| PaRaD0xx | something is blocking it, firewall perhaps? hmm | 12:47 |
| jnhghy | is there an open source program that will livestream my screen (while working on the computer)? I'd like to see on my screen exactly what another user is doing in livetime is there anything like this? | 12:47 |

| GuybrushThreepwo | Question... If I have a jar file, how can I include a shortcut to execute that jar file without using the terminal? | 12:48 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: i realize that coming here with a grub issue and getting the advice to update 11.04 isn't what you'd expect, but personally it's something i'd consider doing, but that's up to you ofcourse | 12:48 |
| aslan | glitsj16, How can I find you back in this, do you have any social link to connect you | 12:49 |
| infused | guybrushthreepwo like minecraft.jar? | 12:49 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: i'llbe here for the next few hours | 12:49 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: PM me if you're back, no problem | 12:50 |
| GuybrushThreepwo | infused, multibit-exe.jar | 12:50 |
| DJones | meet_praveen: What was the 2nd partition supposed to be for | 12:50 |
| philinux | st_prg: so you got desktop but no unity launcher on left or what? | 12:50 |
| st_prg | philinux: http://s17.postimg.org/x37fxo4gf/Screenshot_from_2013_11_12_20_00_46.png | 12:51 |
| aslan | glitsj16, Sure I will PM you | 12:51 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: it'll be something on the xp machine maybe. | 12:51 |
| meet_praveen | DJones: 2nd partition for safe space means data in 2nd partition should not affected by re-installing of OS | 12:51 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: ok .. i promise i won't fly off :) | 12:52 |
| GuybrushThreepwo | infused: I would imaging the same method would work as the method used to do it with minecraft.jar | 12:52 |
| GuybrushThreepwo | imagine* | 12:52 |
| GuybrushThreepwo | I just don't want to type it out every time | 12:52 |
| philinux | st_prg: I would reset unity and compiz back to default settings. http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/08/reset-unity-and-compiz-in-ubuntu-13-10/ | 12:52 |
| infused | guybrushthreepwo I think so too | 12:52 |
| st_prg | philinux: Ok | 12:53 |
| DJones | meet_praveen: Right, I'm not sure how you'll fix this, because you gave the 2nd partition the mountpoint 'boot' when you installed, that partition was set as /boot which is a specific folder used on linux systems and part of the system will have been installed into that | 12:54 |
| aslan | glitsj16, I think all this sort of issue can be solved only by geeks, I need you let me restart and come back | 12:54 |
| Zorky | Where is the nautilus folder icon located? i want to change the icon on a shortcut | 12:54 |
| DJones | meet_praveen: I'm not sure if /boot can be moved to another location easily, give me a minute to have a look for something | 12:54 |
| glitsj16 | aslan: ok, i've called worde things than geek ;) | 12:54 |
| glitsj16 | *worse | 12:55 |
| GuybrushThreepwo | does anyone know how to do it? or if theres like a simply batch file i can make or something to put on the bar? | 12:55 |
| st_prg | philinux: Nope, still only the one category | 12:55 |
| meet_praveen | DJones: so , i have to re-install os? | 12:56 |
| DJones | meet_praveen: Its should be possible to move whats currently in /boot but I can't find instructions on how to do it easily, if you wait around the channel, somebody else may be able to help | 12:57 |
| philinux | st_prg: what happens when you click the A applications icon. Screenshot shows files highlighted | 12:57 |
| philinux | st_prg: secnond from left on bottom of Dash | 12:58 |
| DJones | meet_praveen: If you do reinstall, when you set the mount point for the 2nd partition, maybe use something like 'data' as the mount point which would force the install to create its /boot within the 1st partition automatically | 12:58 |
| st_prg | philinux: http://s13.postimg.org/ekclaln9z/Screenshot_from_2013_11_12_20_58_21.png | 12:59 |

| PaRaD0xx | and I assume printers either...do I have to enable sharing some other way on the ubuntu system? | 12:59 |
| DJones | meet_praveen: If you do that, just reinstall the same as previously, install ubuntu onto the 1st partition, and set the 2nd partition to mount as 'Data' or some other name | 13:00 |
| philinux | PaRaD0xx: well you need to share a folder for it to be seen | 13:00 |
| PaRaD0xx | o | 13:00 |
| philinux | same as a printer needs to be shared | 13:00 |
| GuybrushThreepwo | I found something on making bash file to do it | 13:00 |

| PaRaD0xx | yeah shared is checked...but nothing seems to be able to actually see it | 13:00 |

| PaRaD0xx | :( | 13:00 |

| PaRaD0xx | what should be in the location box? | 13:01 |
| GuybrushThreepwo | "addung module and path to jar file" is confusing | 13:01 |

| GuybrushThreepwo | if that's the case | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | GuybrushThreepwo: as long as the file is executable and the 1st line is: #!/bin/bash you can have a .png extension on the file and it makes no difference at all, this isnt windows | 13:05 |
| GuybrushThreepwo | i see | 13:05 |
| st_prg | philinux: Still the same issue :/ | 13:05 |
| bgardner | GuybrushThreepwo: Just create the bash file as indicated in your link, don't worry about the extension. Name it my_script or whatever. | 13:05 |

| DJones | fishduck: April and October | 13:30 |
| DJones | !14.04 | fishduck | 13:30 |
| ubottu | fishduck: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. | 13:30 |
| fishduck | also, will it really be an awesome release as said, or are there just some minor updates? | 13:30 |
| cfhowlett | fishduck, yes. no. crystal ball says answer unclear. | 13:30 |
| st_prg | pilinux: That worked - thanks! | 13:31 |
| DJones | fishduck: It will be LTS though, so I guess that counts towards the awesome release :) | 13:31 |
| Rory | fishduck: In general LTS releases have focussed more on stability and bugfixes than headline features | 13:31 |

| PaRaD0xx | ok, making progress with the printing situation, sudo disable ufw makes it so I can now see the printer from windows...but still can't print | 13:44 |
| PaRaD0xx | printer name is invalid | 13:44 |
| PaRaD0xx | hmm | 13:46 |
| Togusa | hey PaRaD0xx | 13:47 |
| Togusa | are you using 13.10? can you please check if you have /etc/init.d/NetworkManager? my installation doesn't have it, and i was wondering if it was normal | 13:47 |
| PaRaD0xx | 12.04 | 13:47 |
| Togusa | uhm i see | 13:47 |
| Togusa | thanks anyway =) | 13:48 |
| PaRaD0xx | I'm here for help, not to help :) I mean, I know virtually nothing, so probably couldn't | 13:48 |
| PaRaD0xx | ;) | 13:48 |
| PaRaD0xx | trying to get print sharing enabled with winblows | 13:48 |
| Togusa | never tried to print stuff on linux | 13:49 |
| PaRaD0xx | my win boxes can see the ubuntu printer, but can't select it | 13:49 |
| PaRaD0xx | keep getting can't connect/invalid printer name | 13:49 |
| Togusa | is the printer shared from ubuntu? | 13:49 |
| PaRaD0xx | yes | 13:49 |
| Togusa | i know there's something inside /etc/samba/smb.conf | 13:49 |
| Togusa | but i never actually used it | 13:50 |
| DJones | Togusa: This probably doesn't help, just checked my 12.04 server and that doesn't have /etc/init.d/NetworkManager | 13:50 |
| PaRaD0xx | well, as I said, diabling the ufw helped... | 13:50 |
| Togusa | DJones: thanks! | 13:50 |
| PaRaD0xx | now windows machines can see the printer machine, and the printer itself...but get can't connect now | 13:50 |
| PaRaD0xx | so, getting closer, but still no dice | 13:50 |
| Togusa | 'cause i tried to install kde-full on it but the network applet keeps complainig about the network manager not running | 13:51 |
| PaRaD0xx | yeah, tried to edit the samba.conf...but not sure what to edit | 13:51 |
| Togusa | it's strange 'cause i remember i could start it manually in the past | 13:51 |
| PaRaD0xx | also, hate having ufw off | 13:51 |
| Togusa | if i had network-manager installed | 13:51 |
| Gregor_ | Hello, I want to buy a Radeon HD 7850, will it be okay with any linux distro? Whats are better Nvidia OSS or ATI OSS driver? Propitary Nvidia/OSS driver? | 13:51 |
| Togusa | can't connect? | 13:52 |
| Togusa | are you sure the ports are open? | 13:52 |
| Rory | Gregor_: I use a very similar card, and it works fine with Ubuntu, Mint, Arch and every other distro I've tried. The open-source Radeon driver is very good nowadays, and has improved recently in Linux kernel 3.12. This means even greater performance will be in the next version of Ubuntu | 13:53 |
| PaRaD0xx | Togusa no idea how to do that | 13:53 |
| Togusa | the only issue i have (unless Rory knows if they added support yet) with the opensource driver is that the GPU runs at its max frequency | 13:54 |
| Togusa | and i can't see the temps | 13:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | Rory: some of the radeon improvements are pushed back to 3.13 | 13:54 |
| Togusa | PaRaD0xx: iptables --list? | 13:54 |
| Rory | hitsujiTMO: I've noticed fantastic real-world improvements from installing the 3.12-saucy mainline kernel | 13:54 |
| Gregor_ | Rory: It will also be good with 13.10? I read recommends about Nvidia, but do you think radeon got more support than nvidia now? | 13:54 |
| ezra-s | Rory, define "fantastic improvements" | 13:55 |
| Rory | ezra-s: League of Legends in Wine goes above 30fps now consistantly; in fact usually above 60, so maybe an 80% performance improvement there. No wine or LoL update, and it goes back to slower if I use the old kernel | 13:55 |
| ezra-s | Rory, any specific configuration option in kernel config for that? | 13:56 |
| Rory | Gregor_: That's a very difficult question to answer. All I can tell you is my AMD Radeon 6970 works very well for my light gaming usage, as I just mentioned to ezra-s above | 13:56 |
| Gregor_ | I got a older nvida gt4xx, will working with a new Radeon (OSS drivers) be better than the old with propitary | 13:56 |
| PaRaD0xx | could that be my issue? I need to open the printer port? | 13:57 |
| Rory | ezra-s: I'm not sure, I just installed the packaged mainline kernel from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/ | 13:57 |
| Togusa | since there're so many people now, does anyboy know how to fix the "network manager not running" error i have on my DE? network-manager is installed but i can't start the service because /etc/init.d/NetworkManager is missing | 13:57 |
| ezra-s | Rory, I'm curious, just that, I read somewhere else that 3.12 would bring much better performance under certain conditions but I didn't read where specifically | 13:58 |

| cfhowlett | lucido, version? shotwell is for still photos not for video. | 13:58 |
| Togusa | let me try | 13:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | Togusa: network manager is an upstart service btw, defined in /etc/init/network-manager.conf | 14:00 |

| Togusa | from the netinst ISO | 14:05 |
| lucido | I'm still on 12.04 I think | 14:05 |
| cfhowlett | kognitiva_, make a usb stick. boot your computer with that stick. "try" and "install" will be offered as options. | 14:05 |
| Guest74202 | what do you do in Ubuntu? | 14:06 |
| Togusa | the autocompletion is working but not everything it seems | 14:06 |

| Pici | ActionParsnip: I hope not ;) | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: what is the '22' in that output denoting? | 14:48 |
| cfhowlett | CherryHillTony, open your file manager. it should autopen your /home directory. display hidden folders. find .Skype. select properties by right clicking on the folder. rename it. then start skype again. | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: hmm, could be num of subdirs | 14:49 |

| Pici | ActionParsnip: number of 'links' to that path. in this case, its because there are 21 subfolders. | 14:50 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: hardlinks, I *think* | 14:50 |

| Togusa | guys, a question | 14:55 |
| oaulakh | like how to rotate diffrent screen in ubuntu? | 14:56 |
| Togusa | does ufw manage its own configuration regardless of what you set using iptables directly? i.e.: if you modify the rules and then you reboot | 14:56 |
| Togusa | shouldn't ufw restore its own rules | 14:56 |
| Togusa | and discard the manual changes? | 14:56 |

| ciampix | pandamaster: ok your wireless is lacking a "firmware" that is a piece of proprietary software that the wireless card needs to work. Proprietary drivers have a copy of it inside and since your ubuntu is old you have no choice other than update and than install proprietary drivers for wireless. | 15:35 |

| logikos | hi, i have a ubuntu LAMP server with apache2 and i have alot of experience with WHM/cPanel | 15:43 |
| logikos | without WHM/cPanel what is the best way to create a new web user | 15:44 |
| logikos | is there a good tutorial out there that you know of? | 15:44 |
| jaami | i lost connection | 15:44 |
| logikos | i've googled it and tryed to do some reading but nothing seems to answer the question really | 15:44 |
| logikos | so far | 15:44 |
| jaami | i forgot the nick wh was asking me about uni | 15:45 |
| jaami | who*** | 15:45 |
| bean | logikos: you'd have to do a lot of it manually. Add the user, add them a vhost for apache, etc. | 15:46 |
| logikos | bean: i realize this, but i was hopeing there was a tutorial to walk me threw the steps to do it manualy | 15:47 |
| logikos | so that its less likely i screw something up | 15:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | logikos: there's no "best" way to do such a thing. it's really dependent on your needs. WHM/cPanal simply have their way of doing things, but one of the main questions you have to ask are what the restrictions you want to place onn the individual users | 15:47 |
| logikos | hitsujiTMO: i mention cPanel just becuase that is how i've always done it, but now i'm working for a company with an in-house server running an application that is used in house, not public and they dont have cpanel | 15:48 |
| logikos | they created there primary site in /var/www/ which i think is really stupid | 15:48 |
| logikos | as in my experience everything should be under a specific user | 15:49 |
| logikos | so i want to create a user, and move that site to the users own public_html dir | 15:49 |
| logikos | i can create the user and i can cp the files and chown them all | 15:49 |
| logikos | then figure out where the vhosts are defined and point it to the right place | 15:49 |
| logikos | i know these are steps and i understand them (kinda) | 15:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | logikos: that's a really bad way of doing it actually | 15:50 |
| logikos | but a step by step tutorial to make sure i dont miss anything would be helpful | 15:50 |
| zykotick9 | hitsujiTMO: +1 | 15:50 |
| logikos | hitsujiTMO: you have my attention | 15:50 |
| logikos | why is it bad? | 15:50 |
| logikos | i ask to learn, not to challenge | 15:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | logikos: because the users then have to access the same 1 account. you have no audit trail, no restrictions, no nothing | 15:51 |
| logikos | 'users' ? the 'users' useing the current site do not have an account on the server, they have a username and password to the site, manauged by php | 15:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | logikos: you want your sites under a group folder. not a user folder. | 15:51 |
| logikos | ok | 15:52 |
| logikos | where are group folders kept | 15:52 |
| logikos | so you would have permissions be 775 and 664 instead of 755 and 644 | 15:52 |
| logikos | ? | 15:52 |
| logikos | i have little experience with groups | 15:52 |
| logikos | little to no experience | 15:52 |
| logikos | there are only 2 people (presently) who need ssh or ftp access to these files | 15:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | logikos: where every you like. you can use /var/www as a group folder. or /srv/www . | 15:53 |

| logikos | different files are owned by different people | 15:54 |
| logikos | files created by php are owned by apache | 15:54 |

| logikos | php cant write to those files | 15:54 |

| hitsujiTMO | logikos: first questions: how many users need access to the server. how many users would work on a sigle site. and should a user have read/write access to a site he's not working on? | 15:54 |
| gordonjcp | logikos: you need to look at standard deployment techniques | 15:55 |

| Nach0z | lol | 16:30 |
| np8 | I am really in a deep trouble now then. The other "partition" contains swap but it still looks to be like >100Gt | 16:30 |
| logikos | hitsujiTMO: ty, reading | 16:30 |
| np8 | so my ubuntu partition has somehow 'merged' with my swap partition.. | 16:31 |
| np8 | and i cannot edit the fstab - file since it is inside the 'merged' partion. | 16:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | logikos: it should give you an idea of what bits to start looking into. things like g+s flag, etc | 16:32 |

| np8 | wheatthin: yes | 16:34 |
| wheatthin | one that can be formatted? | 16:34 |
| np8 | wheatthin: mobile phone == flash drive? | 16:34 |
| wheatthin | np8, no, it has to be like a jump drive | 16:35 |
| np8 | well. maybe and usb stick somewhere. | 16:35 |

| logikos | hitsujiTMO: i'm used to useing chmod with bits rather than the flags so chmod g+ws doesnt make much sence to me ... i'm used to and understand 755 (rwxr-xr-x) or 644 (rw-r--r--) or 777 (rwxrwxrwx) looking at chmod g+ws ... i assume that adds 'w' to the group chaning 644 to 664 or 755 to 775 ? | 16:37 |
| wheatthin | logikos, it just means you're setting permission at group level | 16:37 |
| joossee | guys i noticed i am running and fglrx 13.2 beta. Is there a way to revert to an earlier version of fglrx? | 16:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | logikos: g+w gives group writing permission. so turns 644 to 664. the g+s is a setgid bit so that any file or folder retains created in that folder retains the parents group rather than the creators group. http://www.linuxnix.com/2011/12/sgid-set-sgid-linuxunix.html this might be better at explaining | 16:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | ignore that first retains | 16:42 |
| geirha | logikos: If you want to learn more about unix permissions, I recommend http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions | 16:42 |
| Rory | np8 and everyone generally: If your Android phone is rooted there's a cool app that lets you boot your PC from just an iso as if it were a bootable flash drive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarebakery.drivedroid | 16:43 |
| Rory | I find it saves time if you boot from images a lot | 16:43 |
| Rory | Probably not worth rooting your phone just for that though, so procede as usual if that doesn't apply to you | 16:44 |
| np8 | Rory: Ok thanks :) | 16:44 |

| lucido | how come my X doesn't start with the resolution I defined in my xorg.conf? | 16:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | joossee: is xorg-edgers source in /etc/apt/sources.list ? or in a seperate file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ? | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | lucido: check in /var/log/xorg.0.log | 16:56 |

| wheatthin | cristian_c, sorry, can try sudo service mysql disable | 16:57 |
| joossee | hitsujiTMO, Rory oh yes i see it there as a .list file? | 16:57 |
| joossee | also a xubuntu one | 16:57 |
| lucido | ActionParsnip, wheatthin , it shouldn't be dinamically set if there is a definition in xorg.conf (http://paste.ubuntu.com/6406251/). Here's my X log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6406249/ First it recognizes the modeline and validates it but then it says it changes it to "NULL" | 16:58 |
| nicexe | ActionParsnip: Well I can't upgrade because even if I leave the password textbox blank (which is my password) it is still not accepted | 16:58 |
| nicexe | also I am not doing a clean install | 16:58 |
| joossee | hitsujiTMO, does not appear in sources.list | 16:58 |
| cristian_c | wheatthin, Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service mysql disable The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, but disable is not supported for Upstart jobs. | 16:58 |
| wheatthin | lucido, yes, unless it's being overwritten once again by another resource | 16:59 |
| computerguy | is there any command in ubuntu linux to install cisco packet tracer? | 16:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | joossee: that's ok then. you used apt-add-repository then. so ppa-purge "should" work | 16:59 |
| joossee | xubuntu-dev-xfce-4_12-precise.list | 16:59 |
| geirha | joossee, Rory: only files ending with *.list inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ are used, so tail -n+1 /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list} would yield a more correct output | 17:00 |
| computerguy | anyone tell what command works for installing packet tracer? | 17:00 |
| Rory | joossee: You could remove the xorg-edgers repository and then run this script to identify all the packages it installed | 17:00 |
| Rory | joossee: for p in $(dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | cut -f1); do apt-cache madison $p | grep edgers; done | 17:00 |
| lucido | wheatthin, something's wrong because if I don't have an xorg.conf, then it starts with 1024x768 and if I have then it says in the log that it also starts with 1024x768 but my lcd tv cant diplay it in that case | 17:00 |

| nicexe | I am on 9.04. The system spams at me at every opportunity to upgrade. I can't do it because when I leave the password blank the window just closes. (my password is blank) | 17:00 |

| hitsujiTMO | joossee: sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa | 17:01 |

| hitsujiTMO | Danato: can you run these to get the mainline kernel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6406630/ | 18:15 |
| Danato | hitsujitmo: ok | 18:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: let me know if there are any errors | 18:16 |

| hitsujiTMO | Danato: onces that's done reboot. if you have a problem booting the new kernel, just choose the 3.11 kernel to come back here again and we can remove the 3.12 kernel again | 18:17 |
| Danato | hitsujitmo: where will that option be? | 18:18 |
| oswin | Rory, no, in the system, for the trackpad | 18:18 |

| oswin | Rory, I tried to find the right property in xinput but nothing seems to match this | 18:19 |
| ripthejacker | I mean the same version of the kernel? | 18:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: at the grub boot menu, its normally hidden so you'll have to either hold left shift or right shift or hit esc to bring up the grub menu. | 18:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | trism: cheers for that | 18:19 |
| Danato | hitsujitmo: noted | 18:20 |
| ripthejacker | Danato: it will be in the advanced option for ubuntu | 18:21 |

I installed the Gnome3 PPA and it did a number of updates, but still gnome crashes all the time and therror seems to be "gnome-panel crashed with SIGFPE in g_closure_invoke{}" | 19:38 |
| Jinxy | so `/etc/rc.local` is where you can run commands on startup, where do I write commands to be run on shutdown? | 19:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: if you can, comment out the backlight script in /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup, then reboot to 3.12 kernel and see if the backlight work without the script, edit /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup again, reenable the script and rebott back into the 3.11 kernel and we'll remove 3.12 kernel | 19:40 |

| apullz | Yeah, I know how to do it | 19:53 |
| airtonix | joossee: did you try install ubuntu-desktop ? (i'd look this up first) | 19:53 |
| OerHeks | apullz, so your download is corrupted, what do you want us to do ? | 19:53 |
| reisio | apullz: so what don't you know how to do | 19:53 |
| apullz | but the ISO's are "empty" | 19:53 |
| joossee | airtonix, yep its installed | 19:53 |
| reisio | apullz: doesn't sound like you know how to do it, then | 19:53 |
| reisio | apullz: try http://serverfault.com/questions/6714/how-to-make-windows-7-usb-flash-install-media-from-linux#answer-167060 | 19:53 |
| Danato | <hitsujiTMO> back, I still had the same problem there | 19:53 |
| airtonix | joossee: re install it? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall ? | 19:53 |
| apullz | reisio, done that already | 19:53 |
| joossee | airtonix, kk | 19:53 |
| apullz | reisio, i have lurked my problem for days | 19:54 |
| reisio | apullz: well you must be doing something wrong :) try #windows | 19:54 |
| apullz | reisio, you suggest i go to windows with a linux problem. that is not helping | 19:54 |
| airtonix | joossee: or you could try installing gdm again? | 19:54 |
| reisio | apullz: imaging windows onto a usb stick is not a linux problem | 19:55 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO: so how do i uninstall that kernel? | 19:55 |
| joossee | airtonix, I was under the impression that GDM does not exist anymore? replaced with light-DM? | 19:55 |
| Aliekezhi | hi, I have a strange problem : when I open an image, with any program, the session just close automatically as if I was logging out...Any idea where it can come from ? (or what logs to check ?) | 19:55 |
| apullz | reisio, it is if it's done on ubuntu | 19:55 |
| airtonix | joossee: depends if you're using gnome-shell. gdm is still very much alive. | 19:55 |
| pseudorandom | hi, anyone with an idea how to fix 'error: file not found' on grub rescue command line? | 19:55 |
| joossee | ok i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop ... logoff? | 19:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: can you pastebin: dpkg --get-selections | grep linux- | 19:55 |
| reisio | apullz: everything you can do from Ubuntu is covered by the link I gave, the rest is some other domain | 19:56 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: is the file actually there? | 19:56 |
| hkan | reisio: is there something like a recovery mode from ubuntu dvd like windows has? there's a lot to reinstall | 19:56 |
| airtonix | joossee: oh are you trying out 3.10? | 19:56 |
| wilee-nilee | apullz, Do you want linux and windows, you will have to resize the linux with linux for a unallocated space, the usb load is easy. | 19:56 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: i dont know which file it is. perhaps it is, but which? | 19:56 |
| joossee | airtonix, no 12.04 server 64 | 19:56 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: what exactly are you trying to do? | 19:56 |
| joossee | airtonix, Unity is too crappy for my purposes | 19:56 |
| airtonix | joossee: 12.04 server with gnome classic or shell? | 19:56 |
| pinPoint | reisio: would it be a pain to maintain it? | 19:56 |
| reisio | hkan: you can do it from 'try' | 19:56 |
| airtonix | (sounds like shell) | 19:57 |
| reisio | hkan: or from the existing system without rebooting, probably | 19:57 |
| joossee | airtonix, whichever gnome i pick it seems to do the same one | 19:57 |
| pinPoint | vs doing apt-get update style? | 19:57 |
| joossee | load the same one | 19:57 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: are you trying to do a regular boot and it won't let you? | 19:57 |
| reisio | pinPoint: yes of course | 19:57 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: boot my computer. "error: file not found" is what i see immediately after powering up laptop | 19:57 |
| apullz | The usb load is easy, I agree. I have done it before. It's just that my Ubuntu is so buggy atm it says all my ISOs are empty when I know they're not. | 19:57 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: yes, a regular boot | 19:57 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: did you delete your kernel? | 19:57 |
| deper29 | that's what it sounds like you may have done. Or moved your kernel | 19:57 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: no i didn't. i did upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 though | 19:57 |
| airtonix | joossee: do you want gnome-shell or gnome-classic? | 19:58 |
| joossee | airtonix, either or i dont care, i just want it to run without crashing | 19:58 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: do you have a livecd to boot from? | 19:58 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6407085/ | 19:58 |
| hkan | reisio: I can reinstall them, it's not the problem. What I'm asking is if Ubuntu can reinstall its required packages automatically? | 19:58 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: I have gparted livecd only | 19:58 |
| erictr1ck | i have a very strange issue on an ubuntu 12.04 machine where i cannot make any requests from that machine back to itsself (curl, wget, etc..) though the external domain or ip address.

| rogan_ | hi all, i need help on vlc | 19:58 |

| gvo | erictr1ck: Normal | 19:59 |
| airtonix | joossee: well if you want gnome-shell, i'd start with 13.04 desktop then install gnome3 ppa | 19:59 |
| hkan | reisio: that should do the trick, thanks again :) | 19:59 |

| * joossee will brb | 20:00 | |
| airtonix | wilee-nilee: because it's more up to date? i thought that would be obvious | 20:00 |

| deper29 | pseudorandom: lol | 20:01 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: okay, so we need to get you a new kernel then | 20:01 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: i have a symlink from /vmlinuz to there but there's no kernel.... | 20:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: you might want to: sudo update-grub after that to make sure it sets 3.11 as default again | 20:01 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: yeah, how could I do that? | 20:01 |
| airtonix | wilee-nilee: will you kick me from the channel if I do ? | 20:01 |

| pseudorandom | deper29: i could try that, but would it work? let me try it | 20:03 |
| deper29 | or there's a copy of the kernel online somewhere. let me look | 20:03 |
| joossee | no change. Gnome still crashes immediately upon trying to add anything to a panel. restarts fine and runs fine until the next time i try to edit deaktop | 20:03 |
| Aliekezhi | does someone know how to fix this bug with unity ? the panel on the left appears on the start of session, but then dissapear and doesn't come back.... | 20:03 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: no, it wouldn't "just work" to do that | 20:03 |
| deper29 | it's a bit more involved than that :P | 20:03 |
| wilee-nilee | airtonix, I can't nor would I kick you anyway, and having a attitude is part of using your own subjective opinon on this help, questionable at best. | 20:03 |
| erictr1ck | gvo: I found the issue because I have a website that is running wordpress and and 'plugin' called RAMP. RAMP is a 'plugin' that pushes content from a staging build to a production build though xmlrpc. however, both builds cannot communicate. this is when i realized that the server cannot do external calls to itsself and am assuming this is the issue. :( | 20:03 |
| apullz | I have a problem, I'm trying to extract an ISO's files onto a USB. When I mount these ISO's nautilus shows that they are empty, or just a little text file with nothing in it. I have tried to do it through UNETBOOTIN but the result is the same, the only files on the USB after are the text files, or not in some cases. My Ubuntu is very glitchy at the | 20:03 |

| wilee-nilee | irreverant, It may be a bad install, it can be a host of other possible varibles, we have to go through these to get to an answer, does that make sense to you? | 20:22 |

| wilee-nilee | wolfy1339, using grub or the windows boot to get there? | 20:26 |

| deper29 | pseudorandom: could be. Why not get a 64-bit livedisk? | 20:26 |
| wolfy1339 | wilee-nilee, umm i don't know... i select the windows boot loader option from the grub boot menu | 20:26 |
| joossee | grrrr im so frustrated | 20:26 |
| joossee | and i dont mean sexually | 20:27 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: i don't have any blank dvds around me, also my computer does not boot from usb :/ i am stuck with that gparted thing | 20:27 |
| joossee | but.. also that | 20:27 |
| joossee | pseudorandom, unless you are on a sony or mac you should be able to boot usb...? | 20:27 |
| deper29 | joossee: not true | 20:28 |
| pseudorandom | joossee: i am on dell inspiron 15r se. in bios i don't see usb as a boot option | 20:28 |
| Jordan_U | wolfy1339: Why can't you boot from USB? You should be able to remove Ubuntu's UEFI entry and make Windows' default, the just remove your Ubuntu partition. | 20:28 |
| wilee-nilee | wolfy1339, Ah so from grub to windows, If you can get it to boot windows without grub removing ubuntu can be done with any partitioner including the on board of windows. You might try the ##windows channel if you can't get that windows boot by windows set. | 20:28 |
| deper29 | I have an old compaq that doesn't | 20:28 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: reboot into the usb | 20:28 |
| deper29 | don't mount anything, I want to try something else | 20:28 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: i can't, how can i boot into usb? in bios i don't see such option | 20:29 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: my bad. I meant boot into your gparted disk :P | 20:29 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: im inside gparted, reboot? | 20:29 |
| wolfy1339 | wilee-nilee, the only way i know of booting windows without grub, is to enable secure boot | 20:29 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: yeah | 20:29 |
| joossee | pseudorandom, what happens when you hit F12 during boot? | 20:30 |
| wilee-nilee | wolfy1339, You get my point though right, to remove ubuntu all you have to do is make sure windows can boot itself, then removal of ubuntu is no biggie. | 20:30 |
| pseudorandom | joossee: i see a list of devices to choose for booting | 20:30 |
| joossee | pseudorandom, in dell bios that should bring up your boot otpions.. the option to hit F12 may or may not appear | 20:30 |
| joossee | pseudorandom, and USB is not an option? | 20:30 |
| Jordan_U | wolfy1339: wilee-nilee: Secure boot has nothing to do with this as both Windows and Ubuntu support secure boot. | 20:31 |
| pseudorandom | joossee: no it's not | 20:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Jordan_U, Your missing the point I make, they want to remove ubuntu, I am saying make sure windows boots itself then remove ubuntu. | 20:31 |
| joossee | pseudorandom, here we are: F12 > Change boot mode setting > Legacy Boot Mode, Secure Boot Off > Yes > F12 | 20:32 |

| Jordan_U | wilee-nilee: Which is exactly what I said earlier :) | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Jordan_U, I did not see that, hehe. ;) | 20:32 |
| UrielVigilant | GNUSTEP its part of ubuntu 13.10 ? | 20:33 |
| pseudorandom | joossee: ok i can try that, but give me a sec i'll try what deper29 has in his mind first :) | 20:33 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: booted into gparted. what now? | 20:33 |
| Jordan_U | wolfy1339: You can modify UEFI boot entries in GNU/Linux using the tool efibootmgr. | 20:33 |
| joossee | guys i need help figuring out some display driver stuff... basically I am running Unity in 2D all the time, no matter what I select. also, i have fglrx installed, and it seems to be using it, but fglrxinfo returns a badrequest. i cannot figure out what is going on... :( | 20:34 |
| wolfy1339 | Jordan_U, yes, but what do i do? anyways i found a guide | 20:34 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: 'sudo mount /dev/sdX /mnt' | 20:34 |
| deper29 | where X is your partition of course | 20:34 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: yeah | 20:35 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: 'sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX | 20:35 |
| deper29 | ' | 20:35 |
| UrielVigilant | gnustep! | 20:35 |
| deper29 | so if you have ubuntu installed on sda1, it would be 'sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda' | 20:35 |
| pseudorandom | deper29:oh, i tried that before there is an error. let me write it down | 20:35 |
| deper29 | don't put the partition number in there | 20:36 |
| pseudorandom | hm | 20:36 |
| pseudorandom | ok | 20:36 |
| pseudorandom | without number one sec | 20:36 |
| deper29 | just sda | 20:36 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: installation finished No error reported | 20:36 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: i will reboot now to see if that worked | 20:36 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: unmount first | 20:37 |
| deper29 | 'sudo umount /mnt' | 20:37 |
| Jordan_U | wilee-nilee: What | 20:37 |
| deper29 | actually, it should probably take care of that on reboot anyway | 20:37 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: oh, i didn't do that just rebooted. :/ i'll try again if that didnt work | 20:37 |
| deper29 | but you were certain you had kernels in /mnt/boot, yes? | 20:38 |
| joossee | man where is adamk when you need him! | 20:38 |
| Jordan_U | wilee-nilee: Sorry, please pastebin the output of "efibootmgr". | 20:38 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: yes i was certain and now i just booted into my ubuntu :) thanks a lot! | 20:38 |
| deper29 | pseudorandom: good to hear! | 20:38 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: or not | 20:38 |
| deper29 | wait | 20:38 |

| deper29 | what? | 20:38 |
| joossee | pseudorandom, you might wanna unlock USB booting while its fresh in your mind... | 20:38 |
| pseudorandom | deper29: ok "the disk drive /tmp' was something but i didn't see the whole message | 20:39 |
| pseudorandom | it just started | 20:39 |
| pseudorandom | joossee: actually when usb is attached i see that option. apparently i need to attach usb drive to see it | 20:39 |

| Calinou | they can, but it may sometimes not work | 21:12 |
| Ari-Yang | hydruid: there won't be any errors or anything? | 21:12 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, if I dist upgrade, I will stop being in LTS, right ? | 21:13 |
| HaltingState | where is the development channel and security/kernel team channel? | 21:13 |
| zteam | Sometimes then I boot Ubuntu 13.10 I just get a black screen (no login window) and I have to go to ta TTY and reboot my computer, Xorg doesn't seem to be running either | 21:13 |
| Ari-Yang | what about 13.04 packages on 12.10? | 21:13 |
| w0otness | looks like i have the same problem being discussed, Hash Sum Mismatch. Tried what most of google has found. | 21:13 |
| hydruid | Ari-Yang: every package is different but the basic ones sure no problem......if you start talking about specific system libraries things can go bad | 21:13 |
| Calinou | dist-upgrade is not version upgrading, don't mix it | 21:13 |
| bluetazmanian | has anyone had any issue with the graphic card after upgrade to 13.10? | 21:13 |
| Ari-Yang | hydruid: specifically packages that deal with mesa | 21:13 |
| Calinou | not here, bluetazmanian | 21:13 |
| Calinou | ask your question directly! don't do polls | 21:13 |
| zteam | I'm using the Nvidida driver on a Geforece 8800 G | 21:13 |
| PDilyard | is there a way i can copy all the packages and settings from one ubuntu install to another? | 21:13 |
| hydruid | Ari-Yang: will probably be fine but it's always good to do a system image / backup just to make sure :P | 21:14 |
| bluetazmanian | ok, thanks | 21:14 |
| hydruid | PDilyard: are the machines the same model? | 21:14 |
| Ari-Yang | hydruid: kk, thanks... do you know if it's possible to add a 12.04 ppa to 12.10? | 21:14 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6407452/ | 21:15 |
| zteam | PDilyard, you can clone the entire / partition if you want to | 21:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, No that command is within the release. | 21:15 |
| hydruid | Ari-Yang: that is a whole other situation, usually those are version specific | 21:15 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, nothing to update/upgrade | 21:15 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6407452/ | 21:15 |
| hydruid | Ari-Yang: but it boils down to that every package is different | 21:15 |
| zteam | anybody has any clues, for my black-screen issues? | 21:15 |
| Ari-Yang | hydruid: right, so then I'll just d/l the .deb package contents | 21:15 |
| hydruid | Ari-Yang: but usually if it's going to bork your system it will give you an error first | 21:16 |
| PDilyard | hydruid. zteam: they are not the same model...but all i want is basically an automatically compiled list of apt-get commands to run to install all the same packages | 21:16 |
| hydruid | PDilyard: could do a dpkg --list > packages on both machines and then diff the differences...... | 21:17 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, should I post something to ubuntu bugzilla ? any idea what log I could check to see where this comes from ? could be linked with graphic drivers ? | 21:17 |
| w0otness | apt-get update gives this: W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/au.archive.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages Hash Sum mismatch | 21:17 |
| yeats | w0otness: try a different mirror? | 21:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | PDilyard, google for "dpkg --get-selections" | 21:17 |
| PDilyard | ok | 21:17 |
| zteam | PDilyard, okey there is a tool called apt-clone avaiable in the repository, try that :-) | 21:18 |
| PDilyard | zteam: sweet | 21:18 |
| ledtc | hydruid, that would be impossible as traceroute is a download package | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, I was just making sure you have all the repos you should have and that they are open, it was hard to tell from your responses, you do have an extra the google one, however it should not be attached to this crashing. Can you give any background that leads to this crashing of all these desktops, it seems it was working at one time, am I right here? | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, Graphic driver is a question for sure. | 21:19 |
| hydruid | ledtc: lol good point.....well it all depends on your situation. if the ubuntu box is the only one that not working it might be an ubuntu issue, but it sounds like it's a router issue | 21:19 |
| Grimm_ | hey , quick question about the installation of linux on my wife's pc. She has a asus EEE pc 1000 with 2gig of DDR2 ram , how much SWAP should i give it ? | 21:19 |
| zteam | PDilyard, :-) | 21:19 |
| hydruid | Grimm_: how big is the drive? | 21:20 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, well, I can't actually tell you since when this bug started.The bug can be reproduced by launching an image with any program (eye of gnome, gthumb...) with any DE (gnome, openbox or unity) | 21:20 |
| Grimm_ | the hard drive is about 160gig , and 50 of that has a windows xp installed | 21:20 |
| brontosaurusrex | Grimm_, twice the ram is usual recommendation irc | 21:20 |
| hydruid | Grimm_: give it 2-4GB..... | 21:20 |
| Grimm_ | alright great :) I was thinking for a moment 8 gig 'to play safe' , but that seemed like such a n00b move that i tought to come and ask :D | 21:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, Image being a jpg..etc? | 21:21 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, yes JPG | 21:21 |
| Grimm_ | and mount point for linux should be ok on just ' / ' ? | 21:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, what about with the stock image viewer? | 21:22 |
| wilee-nilee | opr shotwell | 21:22 |
| wilee-nilee | or* | 21:22 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, is there a syntax to save the logs with an imagedisplayer ? like "eog blabla.jpg >> blabla.txt" or something like this ? | 21:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, what about with the stock image viewer or shotwell? | 21:23 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, hum, what is this ? | 21:23 |
| AlexPortable | hi ? | 21:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, Thaose are installed image viewers | 21:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, right click any image and choose those. | 21:24 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, shotwell create same issue | 21:24 |
| Grimm_ | is it ok if the swap partition is Logical ? | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | Grimm_: Yes. | 21:25 |
| Grimm_ | the linux partition , i toke primary , ext4 , mount point / | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | Grimm_: Any of your linux partitons can be logical. | 21:26 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, "[ 4966.025] [mi] EQ overflow continuing. 100 events have been dropped." in my xorg.0.log Do you think it's linked ? | 21:26 |
| Grimm_ | allright , i should actually just look up what it means ... | 21:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, I have to wonder if you have just installed some apps that are causing this conflict, just a guess though. I have the feeling you are a new user from your responses, and may have just borked the setup, rather then there being any actual bugs, or there is a graphic driver problem, kinda a issue of many possible varibles. | 21:26 |
| Grimm_ | but so much to do and just 24 hours for the only version of me to do everything :( | 21:26 |
| Grimm_ | a day that is , luckely | 21:26 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, actually I'm a gentoo user, and this is not my computer. | 21:27 |
| deper29 | Aliekezhi: +1 for Gentoo :D | 21:27 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, but I see a lot of different bugs there which is seem to appear since last update | 21:27 |
| Aliekezhi | as every time I use an ubuntu.... | 21:28 |
| Aliekezhi | but anyway it's not my computer and I must fix this | 21:28 |
| deper29 | Aliekezhi: what is your issue? | 21:28 |
| Aliekezhi | I'd like to have an idea of what log or what to check | 21:28 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, Ah, Ubuntu is different than gentoo as far as building the OS, could this have been a gentoo approach to ubuntu possibly? | 21:28 |
| Grimm_ | hey guys , thanks again ! | 21:28 |
| Aliekezhi | deper29, session logout everytime I open an image with any program (tried with 3 of them) and any DE (tried also 3 of them) | 21:29 |
| deper29 | Aliekezhi: you could try asking in #gentoo | 21:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, Anyway this is beyond my ability to really help you fix. | 21:29 |
| deper29 | that seems strange :S | 21:30 |
| wilee-nilee | deper29, This is a ubuntu install. | 21:30 |
| Aliekezhi | deper29, tried with eye of gnome, gthumb and shotwell, and gnome3, unity and openbox => always the same bug | 21:30 |
| deper29 | wilee-nilee: ahh, I see | 21:30 |
| Aliekezhi | deper29, well it seems it's more an ubuntu related problem.... | 21:30 |
| Aliekezhi | wilee-nilee, ok thx.I'll try to post details on ubuntu bugzilla | 21:30 |

| Harmageddon | Hi! I was here a few days ago to solve a graphics error during ubuntu installation (worked with the "nomodeset" option). This worked fine for the installation and first start, but now, when I start Ubuntu, a window shows during boot, saying "The system is running in low-graphics mode." | 22:10 |

| aarobc_wrk | Hi guys. So I actually really like unity and I want to keep using it. I've heard there are these window managers called tiling window managers that make it so working with a lot of windows on a screen is much more streamlined. Is there some way to get something like that to play nice with ubuntu? | 22:11 |
| shrimpy | Hi aarobc_wrk, yes there is, but it's not very easy | 22:12 |
| shrimpy | Sounds like you want to keep using Unity but have it use a tiling WM? | 22:12 |
| aarobc_wrk | I started writing something that would do that using wmctrl, but I'm realizing it's a lot bigger undertaking so I was curious if there was something already written | 22:12 |
| Harmageddon | when I select "run in low-graphics mode for just one session", there's a new window telling me to wait one minute while the screen restarts. When I press ok in this window, I'm back to the ubuntu boot screen, the red dots are going on and on, but I'm not getting any further. | 22:13 |

| aarobc_wrk | shrimpy: in that case I will write my own | 22:18 |
| shrimpy | aarobc_wrk, oh, there are plenty of good panels to choose from. I just thought you said you wanted to continue using Unity. | 22:18 |
| aarobc_wrk | shrimpy: yeah, I just wanted something that will play nice with unity | 22:19 |

| william1 | swcdx: well I am using Debian, but yes NetFlix on Linux with pipelight | 22:36 |
| reisio | Theycallmejzero: sup jzero | 22:37 |
| william1 | It runs silverlight in wine and pipes the video to your native Linux browser. | 22:37 |
| swcdx | i am assuming it will work with ubuntu? | 22:37 |
| reisio | it works with anything | 22:37 |
| reisio | uses Wine | 22:37 |
| william1 | swcdx: works with everything even Gentoo. | 22:37 |
| william1 | It is better than the netflix-desktop as it uses your Linux browser not like before for it used the wine browser. | 22:37 |
| swcdx | great i am putting my daughter back on ubuntu | 22:38 |
| MoleMan | Is it possible to add a static route for everything above/between 192.168.0.50 - 192.168.0.255 ? or is it not possible as it's not a proper subnet or whatever? | 22:38 |
| william1 | I get ever slight jutter and I am using an atom processor. | 22:38 |
| Junka | reisio so should i go with 64bit after all? | 22:38 |
| reisio | swcdx: heheh, exactly | 22:38 |
| reisio | Junka: if your proc is 64-bit, yes | 22:38 |
| Junka | ok thanks | 22:39 |
| william1 | There really is no 32 bit vs 64 bit anymore. The only problem with 64 bit YEARS ago was driver support. | 22:39 |
| reisio | I don't recall there ever being a problem :p | 22:39 |
| * MoleMan does | 22:39 | |
| reisio | especially not compared to other OSes | 22:39 |
| MoleMan | although less so with linux, more windows | 22:40 |
| reisio | GNU/Linux was out in front | 22:40 |
| reisio | as ever | 22:40 |
| william1 | Also the guys at pipelight are even making a plugin for shockwave:) | 22:42 |
| Aliekezhi | is 3.8 kernel considered as unstable on ubuntu ? with ubuntu precise LTS I have 3.2 kernel by default | 22:42 |
| Junka | mate desktop is lighter than xfce? | 22:43 |
| Nothing_Much | xfce is lighter | 22:43 |
| Nothing_Much | mate is outdated | 22:43 |
| zerowaitstate | Aliekezhi: I am using 13.10 and my kernel version (stable) is 3.11 | 22:43 |

| shwaiil | Hi | 22:43 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, how to display what ubuntu version I'm currently using ? | 22:44 |
| zerowaitstate | precise is 12.04 | 22:44 |
| Rory | Aliekezhi: run the command "cat /etc/issue" | 22:44 |
| shwaiil | Q: I'm on 12.04 LTS and I'd like to upgrade PHP. Currently using 5.3.10 and I'd like at least 5.3.27! Is apt-get update and apt-get upgrade the way to do it ? Should I backup my php.ini ? Thanks for looking! | 22:45 |
| estudiante | Franco Dominguez | 22:45 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, 3.8 is in the list but not installed by default | 22:45 |
| pirret | Aliekezhi: lsb_release -a | 22:45 |
| Aliekezhi | Rory, thx for the tip | 22:45 |
| william1 | shwaiil: the php package that Ubuntu has should have all the security fixes in the latest 5.3.X... | 22:46 |
| Aliekezhi | Rory, pirret, zerowaitstate : I have a srange bug maybe one of you could have an idea : if I open an image with any image viewer and any DE, the session logs out...but if I open an image with the command "display" the bug doesn't produce.Any idea what this could be linked with ? | 22:46 |
| zerowaitstate | sounds like your X.org is segfaulting | 22:47 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, [ 4966.025] [mi] EQ overflow continuing. 100 events have been dropped. | 22:48 |
| Aliekezhi | and others in xorg.0.log | 22:48 |
| Aliekezhi | I can paste my whole xorg.0.log | 22:48 |
| zerowaitstate | paste to paste.ubuntu.com | 22:48 |
| zerowaitstate | it's probably a driver issue | 22:49 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6407894/ | 22:51 |
| lonewulf85 | My conky app says that i do not have swap in ubuntu 12.04 | 22:51 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, oh sorry looks like it didn't take all the lines | 22:51 |
| zerowaitstate | dump the end of the file | 22:52 |
| Aliekezhi | what program I could use to paste ? it seems wgetpaste is not on ubuntu default repos | 22:52 |
| trism | Aliekezhi: pastebinit | 22:52 |
| buu | Aliekezhi: apt-cache search paste | 22:52 |
| shwaiil | william1, thanks for looking! I've done a penetration test on my server and it claims 5.3.10 should be upgraded to at least 5.3.27 | 22:53 |
| shwaiil | I tried apt-get update, install or upgrade and I still have 5.3.10 | 22:54 |
| william1 | shwaiil: it may not understand how a backport works from an upstream source. | 22:54 |
| shwaiil | william1, sorry you lost me. You mean the version 5.3.10 on 12.04 LTS have fixed the vulnerabilities ? | 22:55 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6407909/ | 22:55 |
| william1 | shwaiil: It should. It will keep it's stable number like 5.3.10 and backport just the security fixes from the 5.3 branch of php. Let me see if I can find you something that shows you that. | 22:56 |
| Aliekezhi | "[ 4965.605] [mi] EQ overflowing. Additional events will be discarded until existing events are processed." and all the lines under seems to be related to my problem | 22:57 |
| Aliekezhi | and backtrace... | 22:57 |
| shwaiil | william1, thanks a lot for your support! By the way, how can I have a look on what versions of software I can get from my Ubuntu version choice ? Not sure if this is the PPA people talk about | 22:57 |
| Aliekezhi | looks like kernel/xorg crash | 22:57 |
| william1 | shwaiil: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/p/php5/php5_5.3.10-1ubuntu3.8/changelog | 22:58 |
| zerowaitstate | the kernel didn't crash, Xorg did | 22:58 |
| zerowaitstate | otherwise your system would have hung | 22:59 |
| shwaiil | william1, thanks a lot! So, my penetration test asked me to upgrade to 5.3.27, in my case I did apt-get update and that's enought right ? | 22:59 |
| william1 | shwaiil: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 23:00 |
| shwaiil | william1, should I care about backing up my configuration files ? such as apache, php, mysql | 23:00 |
| zerowaitstate | Aliekezhi: what does lspci show? | 23:00 |
| shwaiil | or it's safe to run those commands without having to ? I know ubuntu, or apparently warns me about conflicts | 23:01 |
| william1 | shwaiil: it is safer than not sticking with the native packages. Upstream sometimes changes more than they should within a branch which is why Ubuntu and other major distros backport just real fixes. | 23:01 |
| shwaiil | william1, thanks so much for your help;) | 23:02 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, lspci : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6407935/ | 23:02 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, currently using kernel 3.2 | 23:02 |
| william1 | you're welcome shwaiil | 23:02 |
| utahcon | I've got an Ubuntu 12.04LTS server that apt-get install apache2 says it installs but I get no /etc/apache2 directory created | 23:05 |
| Aliekezhi | zerowaitstate, seems really similar to my bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1210397 | 23:05 |

| zerowaitstate | Aliekezhi, you're right, it does look very similar. | 23:07 |

| zerowaitstate | you gonna try the fix mentioned? | 23:10 |

| Laban | In Unity, how can I remove certain pictures or recent documents from the scope/lens/unity-menu? | 23:32 |

| Laban | Exactly. | 23:33 |
| Laban | What else? :) | 23:33 |
| xstefen | :D I have the same issue lol | 23:33 |
| IdleOne | I am not certain about this but I believe that if you put your files/media in hidden directories by add a . (dot) to the start of the directory name, they won't be shown in the scopes | 23:34 |
| xstefen | I seem to remember reading that somewhere also | 23:34 |
| Laban | Yeah but that's a hassle | 23:35 |
| Laban | Who hides their porn anyways? | 23:35 |

| wilee-nilee | Laban, go to privacy and turn off and clear the history. | 23:36 |
| IdleOne | Laban: you just asked how to. Also please be helpful and lets try and keep this channel family friendly. | 23:36 |
| Laban | Thanks. And yes, I'll behave. Sorry. | 23:36 |

| Anonynimity | I believe it is Aliekezhi | 23:45 |
| Laban | So the system finds the hdd... but just won't attach it to the array? | 23:45 |
| Aliekezhi | Anonynimity, ??? | 23:46 |
| Anonynimity | I believe 12.04 is the newest LTS so far | 23:46 |
| Anonynimity | I know 13.04 is a STL, as is 13.10 | 23:46 |
| Laban | AceBlade258: sdg seems to think that it is attached (or so I would interpret the array state at least) | 23:46 |
| AceBlade258 | it's there | 23:46 |
| Aliekezhi | Anonynimity, well the bug report automatic message told me stopped being under devlopement | 23:47 |
| AceBlade258 | i can hit it with a dd test | 23:47 |
| AceBlade258 | it just won't add it... | 23:47 |
| Anonynimity | yes, 13.10 is no longer under dev, but it is still an STL | 23:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Laban, I use the shell rather than unity, but that privacy history is the first thing I turn off none the less, it keeps the dash from having just stuff not needed in general by me. | 23:47 |
| Anonynimity | until April (I think) | 23:47 |
| Aliekezhi | Anonynimity, so I can upgrade to a more recent LTS ? I'm using 12.04 | 23:47 |
| Anonynimity | I dont think there are any more current LTS' right now | 23:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Aliekezhi, next lts is 14.04 about 5 months from release. | 23:48 |
| bekks | Aliekezhi: In April 2014, you can. Until then, you cant. | 23:48 |
| Aliekezhi | Anonynimity, 13.10 is LTS ? I'm using 12.04 and full of bugs, should I upgrade to 13.10 ? | 23:49 |
| agora | no 13.10 is not lts | 23:49 |
| Anonynimity | no 13.10 is a S.T.L | 23:49 |
| Aliekezhi | if I post bug reports for LTS, will it be usefull ? | 23:49 |

| Aliekezhi | Rhomber, there are a lot of USB sound cards with SPDIF.... | 23:52 |

| Anonynimity | I know for a fact that lib32ncurses5 and "" - dev; lib32ncurses6 and --dev ; ia32-libs, arent | 23:53 |
| Rhomber | Aliekezi: yeah, and a lot don't work with Ubuntu / pulseaudio | 23:53 |

| Anonynimity | but agora - I'm on a 32 bit system -- i386 arch... all I see in that repo is amd64 arch | 23:56 |
| bekks | Aliekezhi: That log has nothing to do with investigating why your computer starts to swap :) free -m; iotop; ps aux; will help you to investigate that. And setting the kernel options vm.swappiness=10 and vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf will help even more. | 23:56 |
| bekks | Aliekezhi: And the backtrace part in the log (after the last line of the paste) would be the interesting part of the log, along with dmesg | 23:57 |
