| megadeath | thanks, i will try gift or may be wine too | 00:02 |
| reisio | no need for wine | 00:02 |
| megadeath | yes but i can use wine with ares | 00:03 |
| uncle_ben | i'm trying to get ario to play music cds and apparently, i need the cdio_paranoia plugin, but google isn't being my friend | 00:03 |

| Vivekananda | hey everyone. anyone any ideas on why the alt tab would skip the terminator console ? | 00:12 |
| wilee-nilee | Vivekananda, You using the terminator from the repos? | 00:15 |
| Vivekananda | I believe so | 00:15 |
| Vivekananda | let me check | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | that would be my only comment I have not used it nor do I use unity | 00:15 |
| Vivekananda | yep I am | 00:16 |
| Vivekananda | wilee-nilee: what do you use ? | 00:16 |
| === Guest63824 is now known as McPeter | ||
| wilee-nilee | Vivekananda, the gnome shell | 00:16 |
| Vivekananda | also while we are on the topic tell me how to get one of those sci fi movie themes on the desktop | 00:17 |
| wilee-nilee | with synapse and the cairo-dock | 00:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Vivekananda, Themes I have never messed with I see to many people with problems associated. | 00:17 |
| Vivekananda | are those themes even true or just make believe. I mean all black background and those cli interfaces with everything black | 00:17 |
| somsip | Vivekananda: look at tiling window managers like awesome and dwm | 00:18 |
| wilee-nilee | I have noticed a correlation with theme wanting and new users and confusion, hehe | 00:18 |
| dustinspringman | whats up fellas! upgraded to 13.10 and now my second monitor is detected under displays, but i get no video... intel sandybridge drivers appear to be installed and working properly... i've googled every thread and am 4 pages deep now with no luck.... thoughts? | 00:19 |
| dustinspringman | FTR, it worked on 12.04 before I upgraded.. =/ | 00:21 |
| dustinspringman | no changes at all other than software upgrade... | 00:21 |
| wilee-nilee | dustinspringman, My thoughts why the upgrade from a OS that has 5 years support. | 00:21 |
| dustinspringman | glxgears and glxspheres are rendering proper... where should I look? | 00:21 |
| wilee-nilee | 14.04 is the next lt | 00:22 |
| wilee-nilee | I would have dual booted 13.10 to see if it worked myself | 00:23 |
| wolfspy | hello | 00:23 |
| wolfspy | Should I replace windows with ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| dustinspringman | wilee-nilee: it was sorta by accident... I updated to the 2.8 kernel on 12.04 and it broke a bunch of stuff.... so I just kept upgrading... 13.10 is working well so far, the only issue I have is my second monitor (vizio 26" screen conneted via mini displayport) shows up in displays.. but no signal is all i get | 00:23 |
| wolfspy | I basically use ubuntu for everything, and windows just takes up disk space | 00:23 |
| wolfspy | im dual booting | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | wolfspy, That is your decision tis is not a polling channel. | 00:24 |
| dustinspringman | wilee-nilee: any ideas on what config file I can look at to determine why my monitor is detected but gets no video signal? | 00:24 |
| wilee-nilee | dustinspringman, Not really never messed with that graphic setup. | 00:25 |
| bekks | dustinspringman: which graphics card do you have? | 00:25 |
| dustinspringman | bekks: its an optimus... but i don't ever use the nvidia gpu (at all) in 12.04 this worked well.. Intel SandyBridge (HD 3000 I think)... | 00:25 |
| oaulakh | how apply swap partition in ubuntu | 00:26 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, apply? | 00:26 |
| dustinspringman | bekks: the intel gpu is giving me 68+ FPS on GLX tests.. on my laptop screen works great... but my 26" connected to mini-displayport is seen in "displays" but no amount of clicking will restore its video signal.. | 00:27 |
| oaulakh | helo wilee-nilee | 00:27 |
| oaulakh | yeah man apply | 00:27 |
| wilee-nilee | make or mount oaulakh | 00:27 |
| oaulakh | first when i intsall ubuntu | 00:27 |
| bekks | dustinspringman: then I am out of clues, since I only use nvidia on non-optimus systems. | 00:27 |
| oaulakh | i did'nt provide swap drive | 00:27 |
| oaulakh | but now i made it with gparted | 00:28 |
| wolfspy | Oh, and why does my Intel intergrated graphics cpu preform much better in ubuntu? | 00:28 |
| Vivekananda | wilee-nilee: In the movies and tv shows you see geeks and hackers using all black layouts and stuff but I dont know if all that is make believe or is it something acutualy possible in a ubuntu desktop | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, You can make a swap with gparted, make sure you are within partition types and the limitations, and you have a unallocated space. There is a swap file option as well. | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | Vivekananda, easily possible, if you know how, the desktops are just a bit tightlt woven together us all, you have to know how to deal with those limitations | 00:29 |
| oaulakh | swap file option where? | 00:29 |
| bekks | !swap | 00:29 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 00:29 |
| somsip | Vivekananda: look at tiling window managers like awesome and dwm | 00:29 |
| oaulakh | i just make my /dev/sda2 drive to swap | 00:29 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, /dev/sda2 is a partiton not drive, can you pastebin a screenshot of gparted, which may need to be installed. | 00:30 |
| Aikar | any recommendations to get around "Could not calculate update" Have quite a few packages with Broken status in apt.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6413489/ | 00:30 |
| oaulakh | but i dunno how i integerate it with ubuntu system | 00:31 |
| wolfspy | anyone? | 00:31 |
| somsip | !swapon | oaulakh | 00:31 |
| Rax2323 | join #freakshow | 00:31 |
| somsip | !info swapon | 00:31 |
| ubottu | Package swapon does not exist in saucy | 00:31 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, integrate what? | 00:31 |
| bekks | oaulakh: Then just take a look at the FAQ you just got a link for. | 00:31 |
| Rax2323 | #freakshow | 00:31 |

| somsip | bekks: scrolled up and saw it, thanks :) | 00:32 |
| wilee-nilee | wolfspy, Itel supports open source with actual drivers. | 00:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Intel* | 00:33 |
| wolfspy | but games run at 20 more fps | 00:33 |
| wolfspy | It shouldent make that much of a differance | 00:33 |
| bekks | why not? | 00:33 |
| wilee-nilee | wolfspy, This is support not discussion, do you have a support issue? | 00:34 |
| bekks | wolfspy: We have no clue about what windows actually does regarding drivers, so just take it as it is. | 00:34 |
| wolfspy | no | 00:34 |
| wilee-nilee | some discussion is okay, just not the default all the time, and to go on and on. | 00:34 |
| wolfspy | oh, I actually do have a 'real' question | 00:35 |
| wolfspy | why does the system monineter use a lot of cpu? | 00:35 |
| Ari-Yang | wolfspy: use htop | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | its a gui I suspect | 00:36 |
| Ari-Yang | !htop | wolfspy | 00:36 |
| Ari-Yang | erm | 00:36 |
| Ari-Yang | wolfspy: sudo apt-get htop | 00:36 |
| wolfspy | ok | 00:36 |
| Ari-Yang | hmmm | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | just a guess though | 00:36 |
| Ari-Yang | I had to run fsck on my laptop (looked like bad sectors)... I'm thinking about doing a fresh install of ubuntu 13.10 | 00:37 |
| Ari-Yang | think it would be okay? | 00:37 |
| Ari-Yang | like | 00:37 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: Why dont you just run fsck? | 00:37 |
| Ari-Yang | would I end up having to run fsck again? | 00:37 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: And a reinstall will not magically heal bad sectors. | 00:38 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: I /did/ run fsck... everything seems fine... what I'm asking is if I do a fresh install, would I have to run fsck again? | 00:38 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: I know that.... | 00:38 |
| Vivekananda | somsip: thanks. I will look at the tiling things but the question is will they remove a lot of the functionality that is available here with gnome. Two of the most frequently used by me are the alt tab and the worspace switcher. I wonder how I can do that for the tiling thing | 00:38 |
| Ari-Yang | like will ubuntu "remember" the bad sectors it dealt with when I ran it | 00:38 |
| Ari-Yang | or would I have to probably run it again? | 00:38 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: Then run fsck -f and you will be at the same point as you would be after a reinstall. | 00:38 |
| Vivekananda | I used kupfer for lubuntu earlier and that was pretty helpful to switch but I was wondering how the same things are achieved in the tiling systems | 00:39 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: what does -f do? | 00:39 |
| * ianorlin can see more use in wifi in a autoshop | 00:39 | |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: It forces a full fsck on a fs marked as clean. | 00:39 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: fsck -f actually /does/ a fsck. | 00:39 |
| ianorlin | crud wrong channel | 00:39 |
| Ari-Yang | oh | 00:39 |
| Ari-Yang | thanks | 00:39 |
| dustinspringman | bekks: thanks for trying at least.. | 00:40 |
| uncle_ben | i'm trying to get ario to play music cds and apparently, i need the cdio_paranoia plugin, but it's not listed in the plugins menu and google turns up nothing...i'm using ario 1.5.1 | 00:40 |
| Ari-Yang | well before I think about doing a fresh install... I'll have to back stuff up first and whatever configs I want that are in my ~ | 00:40 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: Just run fsck -f | 00:41 |
| wilee-nilee | uncle_ben, What ubuntu release? | 00:41 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: or run "badblocks" (look at the man page first) to see wether you actually /have/ bad sectors. | 00:41 |
| Aikar | any recommendations to get around "Could not calculate update" Have quite a few packages with Broken status in apt.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6413489/ | 00:41 |

| oaulakh | how i make swap disk as default swap | 00:42 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: does this not look like bad sectors? http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/35238191 | 00:42 |
| bekks | oaulakh: By reading the link ubottu gave you when you asked the first time. | 00:43 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: that was the 2nd time I had to run it (2 weeks ago) | 00:43 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: that log is me running fsck while on livecd (usb) | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, You can mount it from gparted and make sure your fstab has it. | 00:43 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: That are filesytem errors, no sign of bad sectors so far. | 00:43 |
| oaulakh | fstab what it means? | 00:43 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: though I don't have the log the first time I ran it :V | 00:43 |
| reisio | man fstab | 00:43 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: thanks for your info~ | 00:44 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: Oh, error reading block... you should create a backup, investigate the issue, and replace the disk. | 00:44 |
| bekks | !fstab | oaulakh | 00:44 |
| ubottu | oaulakh: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 00:44 |
| DJJeff | there is a program called "baobab" or "Disk Usage Analyzer" how do I put in a SSH address to scan? | 00:44 |
| Ari-Yang | bekks: yeah I would replace the disk if I could :/ | 00:44 |
| bekks | DJJeff: you cant. | 00:44 |
| Ari-Yang | I just have to make sure I have stuff backed up | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, here is my fstab swap line with my uuid, sudo blkid will tell you yours, and read the links you have been given. UUID=6302c200-bbce-413c-a99d-83bb8abd4317 none swap sw 0 0 | 00:45 |
| DJJeff | bekks: why not. | 00:45 |
| racho | Aikar, have you tried disabling ppas? | 00:45 |
| bekks | DJJeff: because baobab doesnt support that. | 00:45 |
| DJJeff | bekks: it does have the option to "REMOTE SCAN" | 00:45 |
| DJJeff | bekks: is SSH not remote? | 00:45 |
| bekks | DJJeff: just log in using ssh and run "df -h" | 00:46 |
| === atticus_ is now known as TheyTookRJobs | ||
| DJJeff | bekks: I do remember earlier versions of Ubuntu I was able to SSH Scan | 00:46 |
| DJJeff | bekks: "df -h" is not a GUI | 00:46 |
| bekks | DJJeff: I know. Thats exactly why I recommend using df -h | 00:46 |
| oaulakh | thanks i done it | 00:47 |
| oaulakh | it was easy | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | !yay | paulus68 | 00:47 |
| ubottu | paulus68: Glad you made it! :-) | 00:47 |
| DJJeff | bekks: time to boot up earlier Ubuntu in a VM to get this to work, thanks anyways | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | paulus68, sorry paulus68 | 00:47 |
| spitboxer | what package adds the commandline tool "deb" for adding sources? | 00:47 |
| oaulakh | just right click on swap partition in gparted and select swapon | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | !yay > oaulakh | 00:47 |
| ubottu | oaulakh, please see my private message | 00:47 |
| spitboxer | heh... i just installed irssi and im in console mode cuz of broken ATI drivers | 00:48 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, You add it to the fstab so it is always on? | 00:48 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| spitboxer | and alt-arrows changes my console tty, how can I disable this?!? | 00:48 |
| spitboxer | wtf | 00:48 |
| oaulakh | thanks wilee-nilee | 00:48 |
| spitboxer | haha | 00:48 |
| wilee-nilee | spitboxer, Please no swearing or acronyms of. | 00:49 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: which drivers are you using? fglrx? | 00:49 |
| Ari-Yang | that caused the thing to break | 00:49 |
| oaulakh | any best backup craetor for ubuntu | 00:49 |
| spitboxer | Ari-Yang: yeah, fglrx and fglrx-update | 00:49 |
| spitboxer | neither work | 00:49 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: yeah, go figure. You're taking a risk when using those drivers :/ | 00:50 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: why did you want to use them? and what radeon card do you have? | 00:50 |
| spitboxer | problem is i need XRandR support, HD4850, fairly new card | 00:50 |
| spitboxer | I need either XRandR or Radeon proprietary or both... Bad overscan on a mitsubishi DLP | 00:50 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, Any number of ways to backup best is your personal opinion. | 00:50 |
| spitboxer | with the default drivers ubuntu installed | 00:51 |
| racho | spitboxer, radeon (the open source driver) supports XRandR pretty well. i'am on HD5500 myself | 00:51 |
| DJJeff | bekks: in BAOBAB 3.4.1 you could SSH Scan in 3.8.1 you can not SSH Scan | 00:51 |
| spitboxer | ironically enough now that im in text mode the screen fits nearly perfectly... | 00:51 |
| wolfspy | Is firefox supposed to use a lot of CPU? (around 70%_ | 00:51 |
| wolfspy | )* | 00:51 |
| DJJeff | bekks: seems stupid to break things that work :) | 00:51 |
| spitboxer | racho thanks i might try reverting to it in a sec | 00:51 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: well did you install fglrx with apt-get install fglrx ? | 00:51 |
| racho | wolfspy, firefox no. however plugin-container aka flash may use up to 100% :) | 00:51 |
| spitboxer | Ari-Yang: yep | 00:51 |
| oaulakh | i want to backup my system like norton ghost did for windows | 00:51 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: okay, so now to get things working again and have your gui (X), you need to uninstall fglrx and get the radeon driver again | 00:52 |
| reisio | oaulakh: to where? | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, Ah, I use clonezilla, not many that are clones. | 00:52 |
| wolfspy | racho, I have top open and firefox is using quite a lot, plugin conatiner is using about 5 | 00:52 |
| spitboxer | another good question is though, how can i change the behavior of ALT-arrow keys? that breaks apps like irssi pretty blatantly | 00:52 |
| racho | spitboxer, also if using 13.10 make sure to ad radeon.dpm=1 to kernel boot params. it does make a difference | 00:52 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: uninstall whatever fglrx packages you installed before things broke. | 00:52 |
| oaulakh | clonezilla is it good in backup than tar? | 00:52 |
| * wilee-nilee waits for the clonezilla burn | 00:52 | |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: dpm is dynamic power management, prevents gpu from running hot | 00:52 |
| Ari-Yang | racho: are you on 13.10? | 00:53 |
| wolfspy | its mostly when I load or revresh a page, it jumps up to over 100% | 00:53 |
| reisio | oaulakh: it's a bit overkill | 00:53 |
| wolfspy | refresh* | 00:53 |
| pngl | Trying to install mplayer2 on 13.10 I get: E: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libav/libavutil51_0.8.8-0ubuntu0.13.10.1_amd64.deb 404 | 00:53 |
| oaulakh | hahahhaaa | 00:53 |
| reisio | oaulakh: for one thing your whole OS is already mirrored in thousands of places, 'cause it's free | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, clonezilla is run from a disc and does compress. | 00:53 |
| Ari-Yang | racho: because like, seeing how you have a hd5000 series card, you can use hardware video decoding with the open source radeon driver if you use latest mesa (10) | 00:53 |
| reisio | pngl: mplayer :) | 00:53 |
| oaulakh | good | 00:54 |
| racho | Ari-Yang, my other pc (with the ati card) is and i'm pretty happy. here is fedora with Linux workbox 3.13.0-0.rc0.git1.3.fc21.x86_64 | 00:54 |
| oaulakh | norton also run from disk | 00:54 |
| spitboxer | srsly, for console usage, how can i disable this behavoir of alt arrow keys... irssi depends on alt-arrow to change windows... ሺ? | 00:54 |
| oaulakh | clonezilla iso please? | 00:54 |
| pngl | reisio: same issue. I see it tries to connect using ipv6 (2001:67c:1360:8c01::1a) | 00:54 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, Its on the web, you can d\o that | 00:54 |
| oaulakh | okkkk | 00:55 |
| spitboxer | hah hitting numlock in console gives a fun error: [ 1157.872260] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/3/0/0x10000100 | 00:55 |
| Ari-Yang | racho: ah, nice, I'm running 3.12 on this laptop (with hd5400) and mesa 10, works real nice. Though the ppa I used for mesa 10 dropped support for 12.04 and 12.10, so I'm considering upgrading to 13.10 | 00:55 |
| racho | Ari-Yang, yes but afaik neither the latest mesa nor the latest kernels are in the official repos | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, It saves the mbr as well | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | norton does not | 00:55 |
| Ari-Yang | racho: no they are not, so people have to use ppa and the ubuntu kernel ppa | 00:55 |
| Ari-Yang | racho: the safest ppa for latest mesa would be oibaf's and the ubuntu kernel ppa is the way to go too | 00:56 |
| oaulakh | then that one is super than tar | 00:56 |
| === sara is now known as dubaco | ||

| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, I would not tar unless it it just the os alone not tar a clonezilla save | 00:56 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, Clonezilla just saves packages in a file not a partition. | 00:58 |
| oaulakh | cool | 00:59 |

| bkmeneguello_ | someone knows how to update bios in a dell | 01:02 |
| bkmeneguello_ | i have as Inspiron 14z | 01:02 |
| bkmeneguello_ | and need to upgrade the BIOS | 01:02 |
| reisio | bkmeneguello_: with a freedos image | 01:02 |
| joossee | wtf does that have to do with ubuntu? | 01:02 |
| reisio | joossee: maybe he's using Ubuntu | 01:03 |
| bkmeneguello_ | I use ubuntu | 01:03 |
| bkmeneguello_ | reisio: unfortunately freedos dont works | 01:07 |
| reisio | sure it does | 01:07 |
| dustinspringman | ah ha! I think i've found my problem.. maybe someone can help me fix... "xrandr is showing my monitor is connected to HDM1".. which is not the case... its actually connected to DP1 (displayport 1).... How do I tell xrandr "hey guy, you're using the wrong interface!?" | 01:08 |
| bkmeneguello_ | sorry, i said don't works to install my update | 01:08 |
| reisio | dustinspringman: what makes you think it cares? | 01:08 |
| bkmeneguello_ | the update is a windows 7/8 executable | 01:09 |
| dustinspringman | reisio: the issue I have is that my 26" monitor is being seen in "displays" but I get no video.... I have an HDMI and DisplayPort on this laptop.... the HDMI is tied to the nvidiaGPU which I do not use because nvidia drivers are a pain in my ass.... | 01:10 |
| dustinspringman | reisio: this is the only thing I can find that "looks wrong"... | 01:10 |
| dustinspringman | on 12.04 I had this working and xrandr showed "connecetd" on teh DP1 not the HDMI1 | 01:10 |
| dustinspringman | any thoughts on how/where to tell xrandr "use DP1" not HDMI1 ? | 01:11 |
| LarsN | CAn someone point me towards documentation on how to tune the screen dimming buttons? | 01:12 |
| spitboxer | Ari-Yang / racho : so, uninstalling fglrx & fglrx-updates was all it took - synaptic reports no package named "radeon" anyway and rebooting after uninstalling restored my X desktop | 01:12 |
| LarsN | I see the OSD indication pop up when hitting the brightness up & down. However the brightness doesn't change. | 01:12 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: you might be using radeon right now... what's the output of dmesg | grep radeon ? | 01:12 |
| spitboxer | btw the references to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the "manual instructions" for upgrading to proprietary drivers, are incorrect | 01:13 |
| spitboxer | xorg.conf no longer lives at /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:13 |
| spitboxer | Ari-Yang: radeon framebuffer device | 01:13 |
| === LarrySteeze|Away is now known as LarrySteeze | ||
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: and the radeon drivers are xserver-xorg-vide-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon | 01:13 |
| spitboxer | the problem is i get ridiculous overscan on this mitsubishi DLP | 01:13 |
| Ari-Yang | * xserver-xorg-video-ati | 01:14 |
| racho | spitboxer, well the radeon driver comes with kernel :) | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | bkmeneguello_, Most bios update have iso option to put on a disc. | 01:15 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: what ubuntu version are you using? | 01:16 |
| spitboxer | so my next questin is, where does the xorg.conf file live? I see some stuff in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d but not an actual "xorg.conf" file | 01:16 |
| spitboxer | Ari-Yang: I'm using kubuntu 13.10, fresh install | 01:16 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: you do not need xorg for ubuntu 12.04 and so on | 01:16 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: it'snot needed.... if you do want one, you'd have to generate one. | 01:16 |
| bkmeneguello_ | wilee-nilee, not these | 01:16 |
| bkmeneguello_ | only an exe | 01:17 |
| SamuraiDio | wilee-nilee, installing now. :) | 01:17 |
| spitboxer | Ari-Yang: in my case I do, its the only place I know of to put ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut options | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | bkmeneguello_ Are you sure no disc option is all I would ask. | 01:17 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: also seeing how this is a radeon card, run gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub and add radeon.dpm=1 in the GRUB cmd line, save the file, then run sudo update-grub | 01:17 |
| Ari-Yang | !xorg | 01:17 |
| ubottu | The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . Also see !xorgconf | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | SamuraiDio, Cool, enjoy. | 01:17 |
| Ari-Yang | !xorgconf | spitboxer | 01:17 |
| ubottu | spitboxer: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 01:17 |
| spitboxer | thanks guys, the problem is with nvidia drivers theres a command "nvida settings" that lets me do things like nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-0: 1920x1200 { ViewPortIn=2560x1600}" | 01:19 |
| racho | dustinspringman, xrandr --output DP1 etc... | 01:19 |
| spitboxer | trying to find the equivalent for ATI | 01:19 |
| Ari-Yang | spitboxer: I know you can generate one, but I forget... perhaps gooling "generating xorg.conf ati" or something? | 01:19 |
| ceed^ | I have a problem: Sometime when I boot (once every four-five times) I just get a blank screen, no login screen. I have to open a console, log in and reboot and the next time I get the normal login screen. What could the problem be? | 01:20 |
| Ari-Yang | !modeset | 01:20 |
| dustinspringman | racho: I've been trying a few of those commands and i've been unable to find how to properly say "go away HDMI1, I want to use DP1"... I even tried "xrandr --output "HDMI1" --off | 01:20 |
| dustinspringman | doesn't appear to do anything.. | 01:20 |
| racho | spitboxer, i haven't tweaked a xorg.conf in ages. if it is some dual-monitor, resolution thingy maybe you need xranrd | 01:21 |
| racho | dustinspringman, ok what happens when you run xrandr --output DP1 (also try DP-1) --auto | 01:22 |
| joossee | what kind of magic is needed for installing openoffice? i tried installing it from software centre and that didnt work, i tried it thru apt-get and that didnt work, and I tried it from their website and that didnt work either.. im at a losss here..? | 01:22 |
| Ari-Yang | joossee: use libreoffice | 01:23 |
| joossee | Ari-Yang, id rather not? | 01:23 |
| Ari-Yang | joossee: it should already be installed, what's wrong with LibreOffice? | 01:24 |
| dustinspringman | racho: nada.. cant turn off the HDMI1 cant turn on the DP1... odd thing is.. it sees "Viz 26" in "displays"... something is really goofy with xrandr here.... | 01:24 |
| joossee | Ari-Yang, its terrible on windows and I want one office suite across the board...? | 01:24 |
| dustinspringman | racho: its not a phantom connection either b/c i can unplug the DP and do xrandr -q and it sure enough shows "disconnected" on HDMI1 | 01:24 |
| Ari-Yang | joossee: wait, you don't want to install/use libreoffice on ubuntu, because it's "terrible" on Windows? and you rather use openoffice? | 01:25 |
| joossee | yes thats correct | 01:25 |
| LarsN | My laptop has a keyboard hot key to change the screen brightness. When I hit these keys, I get an OSD presentation showing the level changing, however the brightness doesn't change. Is there a guide anywhere on how to tune this so it actually works? | 01:25 |
| wilee-nilee | joossee, You have to purge libreoffice in general to have OO they share stuff, I think libreo is more uputo date thougbh. | 01:26 |
| FuqUmist | hello, how do i remove a virus from my ubuntu computer? | 01:26 |
| deezed | FuqUmist: virus? | 01:26 |
| joossee | i already removed it, that wasnt a problem | 01:26 |
| FuqUmist | yeah | 01:26 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: first you'd have to install one | 01:26 |
| wilee-nilee | FuqUmist, How do you know it's a virus, highly unlikely. | 01:26 |
| cvtsx | hello | 01:26 |

| deezed | FuqUmist: do you have a virus in your ubuntu? | 01:27 |
| reisio | yes, fluq | 01:27 |
| joossee | so installed via dpckg but now i just cant launch the damn thing...? | 01:27 |
| wilee-nilee | joossee, Did you purge it, use nicks here. | 01:27 |
| reisio | joossee: dpkg -L packagename | grep -i bin | 01:27 |
| FuqUmist | wilee-nilee it seems i may have this virus that targets linux computers with ebanking fraud "Citadel trojan" | 01:27 |

| Ari-Yang | !openoffice | 01:27 |
| ubottu | LibreOffice is a Free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install libreoffice". User help available in #libreoffice. | 01:27 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: in what way does it seem that way | 01:27 |
| Ari-Yang | !apache | 01:27 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 01:27 |

| reisio | Ari-Yang: ...god awful spam | 01:27 |
| cvtsx | fulq upload it somewhere so i can try to analyze it (i am a noob) | 01:27 |
| Ari-Yang | reisio: my bad XD | 01:27 |
| reisio | ubottu: your programmer is a failure | 01:28 |
| drisdan | Might anyone have any handy documentation available on how to transform a laptop into a wireless bridge? Google wasn't much help. I plan on using the wifi on the laptop as the gateway to the cable modem, then using the ethernet port on the laptop for a different internal network. | 01:28 |
| Ari-Yang | joossee: http://openoffice.apache.org/downloads.html | 01:28 |
| Ari-Yang | joossee: but you'llhave to compile from source (which isn't too hard) | 01:28 |
| reisio | ...he doesn't want libreoffice? | 01:28 |
| FuqUmist | reisio from CBL | 01:28 |
| reisio | drisdan: in network manager's properties | 01:29 |
| reisio | drisdan: you just check 'share connection' or something, it's very simple | 01:29 |
| cvtsx | fulqumist where do you think you were infected? | 01:29 |
| deezed | Ari-Yang: openoffice is actually without updates. its all libreoffice now | 01:29 |
| drisdan | Ubuntu 13.10 has it all built in? That easy? | 01:29 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: pardon? | 01:29 |
| Jouva | I'm trying to use phpVirtualBox which requires the vboxweb-service to be started. I do service vboxweb-service start and it just gets me back to the command prompt. Doesn't even say it's trying to start it. Any thoughts? | 01:29 |
| joossee | reisio, the command you posted returns soffice.bin and unopkg.bin ? | 01:29 |
| cvtsx | .also it shouldnt have executed unless if you allowed it to | 01:29 |
| reisio | drisdan: I haven't used 13.10, but networkmanager has had it for ages | 01:29 |
| Ari-Yang | deezed: tell that to joossee :| | 01:29 |
| reisio | joossee: what do you want openoffice for? | 01:29 |
| drisdan | thank you reisio | 01:29 |
| deezed | Ari-Yang: lol | 01:29 |
| FuqUmist | should i get an anti-virus or something? | 01:29 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: you should convince someone you have a trojan first | 01:30 |
| wilee-nilee | FuqUmist, Okay, so how do you know you have it, you have to recognize we are a bit well surprised, if you even have it and how you detected it. | 01:30 |
| cvtsx | why do you think you were infected? | 01:30 |
| Ari-Yang | !antivirus | FuqUmist | 01:30 |
| ubottu | FuqUmist: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:30 |
| cvtsx | scan it on www.virustotal.com | 01:30 |
| deezed | joossee: did you get it? openoffice has joined libreoffice. they'r now one | 01:30 |
| reisio | Ari-Yang: spam and wrong | 01:30 |
| joossee | holy crap guys I have my reasons related to costly data loss on libreoffice for windows. ya thats the reson. now can i get openoffice running without the commentary? no offence but yeesh | 01:30 |
| FuqUmist | wilee-nilee from http://cbl.abuseat.org | 01:30 |
| cvtsx | scan it on www.virustotal.com unless if its fud | 01:30 |

| kriskropd | if I wanted to completely remove and purge xorg and then re-install xorg (just xorg, not talkinga bout widnow managers or desktop environments or anything liek that) which all packages do I need to remove and then reinstall with apt-get ? | 01:30 |
| cvtsx | but thx for it | 01:30 |
| kriskropd | talking about window* | 01:31 |
| FuqUmist | rescept it says stuff like this.... :This IP address is infected with, or is NATting for a machine infected with the Citadel trojan." | 01:31 |
| xangua | kriskropd: for what purpose¿ | 01:31 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: is it a desktop machine? | 01:31 |
| deezed | joossee: its a channel to comment though. But still, maybe in windows it was not that good as in linux | 01:31 |
| joossee | deezed, let me gewt this straight, they splintered, got bought by apache or w/e, and then remerged? i fidn that unlikely..? | 01:31 |
| kriskropd | xangua: science - this is in a vm | 01:31 |
| FuqUmist | yeah | 01:31 |

| GuiValdevieso | !pt | 01:33 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: unfortunately, however, if you had a trojan, the only way to be sure your system is 100% clean is to reinstall | 01:33 |
| FuqUmist | http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/view/33884/hand-of-thief-banking-trojan-takes-aim-at-secure-linux-os/ | 01:33 |
| Jouva | naz: 2.4? I can't say for sure but I'm not sure 2.4 is included with 13.10? Maybe 2.6? I'd check the package list | 01:33 |
| deezed | FuqUmist: you can be sure by going on whatsmyip | 01:33 |
| cvtsx | fulq post the link here http://www.malwareurl.com/index.php | 01:33 |
| FuqUmist | reisio yeah, i really don't want to do that tho if i don't have to | 01:33 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: you don't have to, but it's the only way to be 100% sure | 01:34 |
| cvtsx | Fuq why did you execute it if its suspicious? | 01:34 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: clamav should find _that_ specific trojan's data for you | 01:34 |
| naz | thanks Jouva, I just did that its 2.7.5+ by any chance would you know were it would be located? | 01:34 |
| Jouva | Where 2.4 would be? | 01:34 |
| FuqUmist | if i install a new version of ubuntu will it get infected anyways? i'm not sure how it infects | 01:34 |
| naz | 2.7.5+ or currenct ver | 01:34 |
| naz | current* | 01:34 |
| cvtsx | Well FuqUmist: now that you are infected try to analyze it :D | 01:34 |
| joossee | ok fine screw it i will install your damned libreoffice grrrr. | 01:35 |
| Jouva | naz: I don't do much with python, but it might already be symlinked | 01:35 |
| cvtsx | FuqUmist: now that you are infected try to analyze it :D | 01:35 |
| deezed | FuqUmist: do you know you can backup your data and settings of your profile, reinstall ubuntu and set everything up very easily? | 01:35 |
| naz | Thanks Jouva | 01:35 |
| Jouva | naz: If you install it, you can use dpkg to search for the file or do a "which" or "whereis" | 01:35 |
| FuqUmist | cvtsx i'm not that computer savvy | 01:35 |
| deezed | joossee: lol | 01:35 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: what you do is reinstall, then install a system integrity system, such as AIDE | 01:35 |
| bkmeneguello_ | hey thanks for the freedos tip. it worked!!! | 01:35 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: that way even if you get it again, you won't have to reinstall | 01:35 |
| cvtsx | FuqUmist: why did you execute it if it was suspicious? | 01:35 |
| joossee | deezed, are they really back to being merged? cuz it doesnt seem so from what ive read? | 01:35 |
| joossee | first question: how do i uninstall a dpkg installation? | 01:36 |
| FuqUmist | do you think i become infected by browsing websites or something or was i specifically targeted? | 01:36 |
| Jouva | I'm trying to use phpVirtualBox which requires the vboxweb-service to be started. I do service vboxweb-service start and it just gets me back to the command prompt. Doesn't even say it's trying to start it. Any thoughts? | 01:36 |
| deezed | joossee: I've read so, but if you are saying they are not, I cant be sure. But anyway the point is: openoffice hasnt been updated for a while | 01:36 |
| cvtsx | FuqUmist: well tell us what happened between you being clean -> infected | 01:37 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: what does 'status' say? | 01:37 |
| Jouva | Same thing | 01:37 |
| cvtsx | probably not targeted tho | 01:37 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: best use clamscan to see if you've even got it first | 01:37 |
| Jouva | It's just not telling me anything, but it's not throwing an error either | 01:37 |
| FuqUmist | cvtsx nothing really, just browsing the internet and irc mainly | 01:37 |
| deezed | joossee: what do you mean as a dpkg installation? unpack it manually? | 01:37 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: you can do it from a live OS to reduce your exposure in the interim | 01:37 |
| cvtsx | o then it probably wasnt targeted | 01:37 |
| cvtsx | FuqUmist: but really try to analyze it, there are plenty of tutorials online | 01:38 |
| cvtsx | also post the suspicious website on http://www.malwareurl.com/index.php | 01:38 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: It's weird that it's giving me nothing at all. The file is definitely in /etc/init.d so it's not that it's missing | 01:38 |
| deezed | FuqUmist: I think its not that hard that you have got it from irc... | 01:38 |
| reisio | deezed: it is | 01:38 |
| reisio | but we don't even know if he's got it | 01:39 |
| reisio | don't put the cart before the horse | 01:39 |
| reisio | doesn't work right | 01:39 |
| cvtsx | lol ya | 01:39 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: I'm not really familiar with phpVirtualBox, but I did run it once several years ago. It should be logging to a file in /var/log | 01:39 |
| cvtsx | scan your computer | 01:39 |
| joossee | deezed, i ran dpkg -i *.deb in the appropriate directory and it installed to /opt... just wanna remove it before i install, gas, libreofiffice | 01:39 |
| cvtsx | also look at all out going tcp connections | 01:39 |
| deezed | reisio: some days ago Ive received some messages here from random users I've never talked with, and it looks like virus | 01:39 |
| === makimac is now known as makimac|afk | ||
| cvtsx | FuqUmist: look at all out going tcp connections | 01:40 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: do you know which port it should be running on? 127.0.0.1:10000 perhaps? you could try running 'netstat -tulpn' and seeing if you recognize that port being hosted | 01:40 |
| reisio | deezed: that's just spam | 01:40 |
| reisio | welcome to the internet | 01:40 |
| reisio | indeed, the human race | 01:40 |
| deezed | reisio: uhm... | 01:40 |
| reisio | deezed: uhm nothing | 01:40 |
| ianmac1 | joossee, you should be able to use apt-get to remove that *.deb | 01:40 |
| reisio | FuqUmist: sudo apt-get install clamav && sudo freshclam && clamscan -ir ~/.config | 01:41 |
| deezed | reisio: lol... uhm like "ah, got it!" | 01:41 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: The problem is I'm tring to run that service and it's just not even trying to run | 01:41 |
| reisio | ah :p | 01:41 |
| joossee | ianmac1, apt-get purge oppenoffice* ? | 01:41 |
| cvtsx | FuqUmist: also do you have the suspicious file on hand? | 01:41 |
| deezed | joossee: yes, ianmac1 is right. But why not just install it from synaptics? | 01:41 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: do you have permissions set up right? does phpvbox have a user that needs to be added to the vbox group still? | 01:41 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: I had it running recently-ish. | 01:42 |
| ianmac1 | joossee, sudo apt-get remove name-of-package.deb | 01:42 |
| ianmac1 | for each package you want to remove | 01:42 |
| joossee | omfg | 01:42 |
| kriskropd | ish as in almost running or ish as in almost-recently? | 01:42 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: ^ | 01:42 |
| reisio | cvtsx: he doesn't have a file, some website says his IP is "infected" | 01:42 |
| Jouva | Maybe a month or two ago. I don't BELIEVE I've rebooted since then. Box was rebooted 45 days ago, but... yeah there's no way I rebooted since then | 01:42 |
| ianmac1 | joossee, Shall I assume there were numerous packages? | 01:42 |
| Jouva | I've ran this within the past month | 01:42 |
| joossee | ianmac1, can i do that with a * instead in the DEBS directory of the untaredball? | 01:42 |
| Ububegin | Our windows server has crashed. Will it possible to use Ubuntu LiveCD to recover data out of it | 01:42 |
| cvtsx | reisio: o lol | 01:42 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: if it worked before then that is strange | 01:42 |
| cvtsx | reisio: what site is saying that? | 01:43 |
| wilee-nilee | Ububegin, If it mounts yes. | 01:43 |
| ianmac1 | joossee, no, you need to specify package names | 01:43 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: I know because I did this just after I started my new job which I've only been at for a month on this friday | 01:43 |
| reisio | that cbl site he mentioned | 01:43 |
| cvtsx | also this is a perfect example for why you should be using no-script | 01:43 |
| joossee | seriously i cannot use dpkg to reverse what its done? | 01:43 |
| ianmac1 | joossee, you still need to use individual package names | 01:44 |
| deezed | joossee: are you trying to install the last version? | 01:44 |
| reisio | cvtsx: not really, as we have no idea if he even has such a trojan, or how he might have gotten it | 01:44 |
| wilee-nilee | cvtsx, its not a flash trojan, and I doubt they have it. | 01:44 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: do you have one of these? '/home/vbox/.VirtualBox/vboxwebsrv.log' | 01:44 |
| ianmac1 | deezed, from what I gather, he used "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" in a dir and now wants to remove those packages | 01:44 |
| reisio | I doubt he has it, either | 01:44 |
| naz | I never understood linux, cant get games working but developing and sdks work | 01:44 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: is it updating whenever you try to start the service? | 01:45 |
| joossee | i installed the appropriate deb package from oppenoffice.org | 01:45 |
| naz | now games are working and i cant develop | 01:45 |
| Johnny_Linux | D`oh! | 01:45 |
| Jouva | Let me go look | 01:45 |
| ianmac1 | joossee, if it's just one .deb package it is as simple as using apt-get to remove it | 01:45 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: It is no updating it hasn't been updated since October | 01:45 |
| cvtsx | wilee-nilee: funny you mention that http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/11/zero-days-rule-novembers-patch-tuesday/ | 01:46 |
| wilee-nilee | General IP's can get a black list if someone is doing something | 01:46 |
| racho | naz, why can't you develop? what's not working? | 01:46 |
| naz | python, and also g++ will not compile perfectly good c++ code | 01:46 |
| FuqUmist | "Behind a NAT, you should be able to find the infected machine by looking for attempted connections to IP address 95.211.120.23 or host name flashveralops.pw on any port with a network sniffer such as wireshark." | 01:47 |
| wolfgang_ | I installed kubuntu along side xubuntu a while ago using the command sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 01:47 |
| wolfgang_ | How can I remove it? | 01:47 |
| deezed | ianmac1: uhm so why not remove? | 01:47 |
| wolfgang_ | Its causing preoblems | 01:47 |
| wolfgang_ | *problems | 01:47 |
| ianmac1 | deezed, that's what I'm trying to help him with | 01:47 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: I'm not really sure then. Have you updated the system during that time frame? I imagine since phpvbox is reliant on the vbox API, an update could easily mess something up | 01:47 |
| wilee-nilee | cvtsx, No mention of citadel, that is MS and we all know there that adobe is vulnerable, you point? | 01:47 |
| wilee-nilee | your* | 01:47 |
| Jouva | Maybe | 01:47 |
| cvtsx | idk why i posted it | 01:47 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: did you try to ask in #kubuntu? | 01:48 |
| cvtsx | but you can find information about citadel on there. also he is afk | 01:48 |
| cvtsx | so... | 01:48 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: I think I had to download a specific version of virtualbox direct from the website as the packages ubuntu wants to install is 4.3 and this wants 4.2 | 01:48 |
| deezed | ianmac1: yes, I just realized it | 01:48 |
| racho | naz, i have yet to see problems with g++ compiling correct c++ code. and python just works | 01:48 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: So I believe it's not updating through apt-get | 01:48 |
| wilee-nilee | cvtsx, I saw no citadel mentioned | 01:48 |
| cvtsx | on some of his other posts | 01:48 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: That and it would complain about that being the wrong version anyway I believe | 01:48 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, The terminal command should be the same in all distro's | 01:48 |
| xangua | !purexubuntu | wolfgang_ | 01:49 |
| ubottu | wolfgang_: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 01:49 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: true. I'm just asking because maybe they could have told you something useful | 01:49 |
| cvtsx | http://www.xylibox.com/2013/11/citadel-targeting-canada.html | 01:49 |
| reisio | cvtsx: shhh | 01:49 |
| cvtsx | a whois on his irc nick said pennsylvania but | 01:49 |
| wilee-nilee | lol | 01:50 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: and the problem you are saying here is not about distros, but desktops | 01:50 |
| cvtsx | ? | 01:50 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: can you run vbox from the shell just fine still? 'vboxmanage startvm --type headless /home/vbox/VirtualBox\ VMs/vm-name/vm-name.vbox' | 01:50 |
| Jouva | Oh. Weird. | 01:50 |
| Jouva | vboxmanage is GONE | 01:50 |
| naz | I have no problems on 12.04, 13.10 just does not like my hardware I guess, can't get everything back to normal | 01:50 |
| reisio | Jouva: no, it's just camelCase | 01:50 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, I asked here because the most useful people are here, especially if you want an answer fast, thank you. | 01:50 |
| reisio | VBoxManage | 01:50 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: try /usr/bin/vboxmanage | 01:50 |
| Jouva | oh | 01:50 |
| reisio | first thing you should do is alias it to vboxmanage :p | 01:50 |
| msdw | who knows how to install zpanel | 01:50 |
| * joossee agrees with wolfgang_ | 01:50 | |
| wilee-nilee | This is a perfect example why not to use Canadian banking, hehe | 01:51 |
| cvtsx | reisio: srry friend | 01:51 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: or reissio's suggestion, it does sometimes have uppercase | 01:51 |
| Jouva | ALSO gone | 01:51 |
| cvtsx | xD | 01:51 |
| deezed | wilee-nilee: true | 01:51 |
| reisio | Jouva: it's not gone, it's either present or not | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | yah sure | 01:51 |
| deezed | wilee-nilee: south park also says so | 01:51 |
| Jouva | It's not on my system that's for sure. | 01:51 |
| Jouva | It was, but now it's somehow not | 01:51 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: maybe you ran it from another directory, try 'locate VBoxMange' or with lowercase | 01:52 |
| cuzzo | Why would an ~/.ssh/config file with Host blah; User foo not be equivalent to: $ ssh -l foo blah ? | 01:52 |
| c_smith | anyone here know how I would add an @ubuntu.com alias to Empathy? | 01:52 |
| Jouva | Nope. Neither one | 01:52 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, that is one long command, thank you | 01:52 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: not sure if that will find it - you could also try to remember when you were installing/unpacking/building if maybe you left it in the Downloads directory or some other working directory and never properly installed it | 01:52 |
| Jouva | Wait hang on one sec | 01:53 |
| Jouva | ok n/m I was making sure it wasn't installed in some other directory somehow | 01:53 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, http://pastebin.com/Qj5piDn8 | 01:54 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: if it's "gone" (:D) then I know why it isn't working, but idk what happened :P | 01:54 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: sorry. I'm not sure why people actually think I'm rude or trying to fight with them | 01:54 |
| deezed | =/ | 01:54 |
| Jouva | Yeah it's supposed to be in /usr/lib/virtualbox according to the init.d script | 01:54 |
| cvtsx | well i would say he possibly could have been infected. since i just looked up his ip and he is from Canada | 01:54 |
| Jouva | And there's just a directory there ExtensionPacks | 01:54 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, I dont think you are rude? | 01:54 |
| reisio | Jouva: what makes you think virtualbox is installed? | 01:55 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: I remember having some problems with phpvbox before I got it to work and I eventually jsut settled for using vbox from a shell prompt instead | 01:55 |
| Jouva | reisio: It might somehow be uninstalled | 01:55 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: but if it's missing, it might've got uninstalled by aptitude somehow | 01:55 |
| reisio | Jouva: ... | 01:55 |
| reisio | so you have no reason to think it's installed | 01:55 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, IM using 13.10 maybe it doesnt work for 13.10 | 01:55 |
| Jouva | reisio: It was recently installed. It might no longer be installed | 01:56 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: do you know you can do this way: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde ? | 01:56 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: or either with synaptics | 01:56 |
| reisio | Jouva: dpkg -L virtualbox | grep -i bin | 01:56 |
| === LarrySteeze is now known as LarrySteeze|Away | ||
| Jouva | reisio: I did do an auto cleanup after I removed a single package that installed... I believe a bunch of X stuff and I realized I didn't need that package anyway. And well... yeah it uninstalled a little too much, so maybe it also uninstalled things such as virtualbox even though I used a .deb | 01:57 |
| ianmac1 | I love Synaptic, I don't know why Ubuntu doesn't ship with it. Much easier to use and understand than USC | 01:57 |
| Jouva | nope | 01:57 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, Thats for installing not removing, but if it comes down to it I could reinstall it | 01:57 |
| reisio | ianmac1: NIH | 01:57 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: anyway. just for asking, did you add the kubuntu repository? | 01:57 |
| deezed | ianmac1: agree!! totally | 01:58 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, No, that could be why its not installed correctley, oops :/ | 01:58 |
| ianmac1 | reisio, NIH? | 01:58 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: http://www.noobslab.com/2013/02/install-kde-410-in-ubuntu-12101204linux.html | 01:58 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: maybe it can help | 01:58 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, I just want it gone | 01:58 |
| xangua | and this is what happend when people don't read the questions :) | 01:58 |
| mammuth | #ubuntu-fr | 01:58 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: you might need to run 'dpkg -L virtualbox4.2 | grep -i bin' actually, try tab-completing on virtualbxos to see the versions | 01:58 |
| reisio | ianmac1: not invented here | 01:59 |
| ianmac1 | reisio, Ah, true | 01:59 |
| reisio | commercial entities make more money if they control what they're selling | 01:59 |
| Jouva | kriskropd: It has some remnants, but it looks like it's pretty much not installed | 01:59 |
| ianmac1 | good point | 01:59 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: Zalgo invaded your system when you weren't looking, I guess | 02:00 |
| Jouva | Just the /etc/default and /etc/init.s and a /usr/lib/virtualbox directory | 02:00 |
| kriskropd | lol | 02:00 |
| deezed | reisio: thats true | 02:00 |
| Jouva | I always forget if x86_64 IS amd64 or not | 02:01 |
| dustinspringman | so... Xrandr is seriously confused... its showing HDMI connected when I'm plugged into DP1... how can I fix this? | 02:01 |
| kriskropd | Jouva: *64* is always *64* | 02:01 |
| reisio | Jouva: x86_64 is the new name for amd64 | 02:01 |
| Jouva | ok | 02:01 |
| reisio | renaming things, great way to confuse people | 02:02 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, I found a tutorial on it, but it looks like since it is installed wrong it wont work, and its been causing errors, so maybe I need to reinstall linux? | 02:02 |
| reisio | "let's change its name so it's less confusing!" | 02:02 |
| wilee-nilee | hehe | 02:02 |
| reisio | "uhhh, but I already knew it was named 'amd64'" | 02:02 |
| kriskropd | "confuses everyone" | 02:02 |
| reisio | classic stabbing in the back of people who aren't ignorant | 02:02 |
| Jouva | It's kinda true that it should be not amd64 anymore | 02:02 |
| reisio | in an attempt to help the ignorant masses | 02:02 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: I dont think so | 02:02 |
| Jouva | Because of Intel having 64 bit | 02:02 |
| reisio | and you end up just confusing everyone | 02:02 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: try to uninstall and purge it | 02:02 |
| wilee-nilee | lets call it multiarch | 02:02 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, Well what should I do now? | 02:02 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: then just install it again | 02:03 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, and then try to uninstall? | 02:03 |
| kriskropd | my 64 bit nintendo | 02:03 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, So how do I add the correct distro's? | 02:03 |
| xangua | !purexfce | wolfgang_ second time i mention it to you | 02:03 |
| ubottu | wolfgang_ second time i mention it to you: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 02:03 |
| reisio | Jouva: nonsense | 02:04 |
| reisio | I just got done explaining... | 02:04 |
| reisio | you can't rename something, all that does is gives something TWO names | 02:04 |
| reisio | it's always that way | 02:04 |
| reisio | binary MB vs decimal | 02:04 |
| wolfgang_ | xangua that wont work, probably because its meant for 12.10. | 02:04 |
| reisio | AD vs CE | 02:04 |

| reisio | FloodBot1: suck an egg | 02:04 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: So I would do like that: first uninstall and purge what you installed and wasnt working properly, then add its repo, then install it from synaptics | 02:04 |
| reisio | DZane: using what | 02:05 |
| xangua | wolfgang_: this is what happen when people read there is a new blog http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-xubuntu/ | 02:05 |

| xangua | wolfgang_: you really don't like to read :) you are using the instructions to remove Ubuntu, not Kubuntu | 02:07 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: so do you plan to stay just with kde or both? | 02:08 |
| wolfgang_ | deezed, Remove kde and use xubuntu which is what I started with | 02:08 |
| wolfgang_ | xangua, I didnt read wrong, I used the one for kubuntu, and even if I used the one for ubuntu it would of worked because I have both | 02:09 |
| deezed | wolfgang_: ok, so cant you remove it with "sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop" ? | 02:09 |

| dancemasterglenn | Hi all. I'm attempting to get a bug fixed on launchpad, and I've been given a .patch file, but I do not know what to do to apply it properly. I can follow terminal commands; can anyone assist me? | 02:29 |
| dancemasterglenn | I can provide a link to the bug page if that is of interest. | 02:29 |
| nosmelc | Any ideas why a machine won't boot from Ubuntu 13.10 on a flash drive? It should be new enough(core 2 duo) to support that, and I tested it on another machine | 02:30 |
| ds_ | deezed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6413852/ --- just sits there, and my term is "dead" | 02:30 |
| wilee-nilee | dancemasterglenn, State the issues and post the bug link and the fix. | 02:30 |
| kriskropd | dancemasterglenn: do you have a copy of the source files available to compile? | 02:30 |
| dancemasterglenn | I've been unable to access the sound settings menu for months, when my audio interface is plugged in. | 02:31 |
| somsip | ds_: tail -f /var/log/fail2ban.log | 02:31 |
| dancemasterglenn | here's the link to the bug: | 02:31 |
| dancemasterglenn | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1131220 | 02:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1131220 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "[soundnua]: gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in gvc_mixer_control_lookup_device_from_stream()" [Medium,Incomplete] | 02:31 |
| deezed | ds_: wait. can you try to remove it and then reinstall it? | 02:31 |
| dancemasterglenn | the patch file was uploaded there, they were going to make me a ppa but they haven't had time to in the last few days. | 02:31 |
| somsip | ds_: F2B is very particular about permissions in /etc/fail2ban | 02:31 |
| deezed | ds_: you said the problem was in the installation first right? | 02:32 |
| ds_ | somsip: it just hangs when i tailed that | 02:32 |
| ds_ | deezed: i have to kill dpkg one sec | 02:32 |
| somsip | ds_: then try to start it again and you should see some output unless it's really b0rked | 02:32 |
| ds_ | deezed: correct. cant get past the install for some reason.. | 02:33 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, usually you apply a patch to the source of the program and then recompile the said program | 02:33 |
| kriskropd | dancemasterglenn: which can be done with 'patch' - appropriately named | 02:33 |
| ds_ | deezed: it tells me dpkg was interupted, and to run dpkg --configure -a. ive done that, and it the same thing | 02:33 |
| deezed | ds_: its not a big deal. just install it normally, copy the output and paste on any pastebin website | 02:34 |
| kriskropd | dancemasterglenn: usually you go to the root directory of the source code, 'patch -p0 < /path/to/patch.diff' | 02:34 |
| dancemasterglenn | Racho, I figured that would be the case, but I'm not positive which program I'd be applying it to. gvc-mixer-control? | 02:34 |
| deezed | ds_: can you try to reinstall it before dpkg-reconfigure -a again? | 02:34 |
| kriskropd | dancemasterglenn: then just ./configure and make | 02:35 |
| ds_ | deezed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6413870/ ill try what you last said one sec | 02:35 |
| === esde is now known as esde|away | ||
| ds_ | driving me nuts | 02:36 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, afaik this leads to libgnome-volume-control | 02:37 |
| deezed | ds_: did you try to reboot it already? | 02:37 |
| ds_ | deezed: is the a way to force the removal with apt ? | 02:37 |
| dancemasterglenn | Does it matter that I didn't compile any of this code from source? This is all from my normal install, so I'm not sure if the source for the program running (whichever program it is) is on here or if I just have binaries | 02:37 |
| ds_ | deezed: actually, ythat i ddint .. its on a remote box, but ill give it a shot now | 02:37 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, well you will need the source to apply the patch. the other option is to wait for a ppa (which is actually the binary of the source with the applied patch) | 02:38 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, the third option is to download libgnome-volume-control source code, apply the patch and use apt/dpkg to build a deb package out of it | 02:39 |
| deezed | ds_: there is an option to force in apt but its dangerous. its --force-yes. but I wouldnt use it | 02:39 |
| kriskropd | dancemasterglenn: to test it, you would run the locally nuilt copy of the program, to have it in place of the "normal install" you would need to move all the built files to the appropriate locations | 02:39 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, and install it | 02:39 |
| kriskropd | ~built* | 02:39 |
| === esde|away is now known as esde | ||
| deezed | ds_: maybe the option --fix-broken can help you more | 02:39 |
| dancemasterglenn | whew. Maybe I should just be waiting for the ppa then... I just figured if I should try and figure out this patch stuff if I can. Sounds a bit daunting though. | 02:41 |
| ds_ | deezed: as in apt-get --fix-broken ? | 02:41 |
| dancemasterglenn | how would I get the source to libgnome-volume-control, if I were going to try and patch it? | 02:41 |
| === danato is now known as Danato | ||

| Danato | guys what IRC do you like the most? | 02:43 |
| Danato | *IRC client | 02:44 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, also keep in mind gnome's git repo is for 3.10+ while ubuntu still uses 3.8 | 02:44 |
| ds_ | deezed: i did. up to the install that os | 02:44 |
| ianorlin | !best | 02:44 |
| ds_ | is | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:44 |
| fobelx | can i use ubuntu as a base for a commercial system? if yes, do i need to pay licensing fees? | 02:44 |
| deezed | ds_: uhm | 02:45 |
| deezed | ok | 02:45 |
| dancemasterglenn | racho, so there might be other issues on top of simply applying the patch, when i go to test? | 02:45 |
| Ububegin | fobelx: no, ubuntu is free... | 02:45 |
| alistair | Has anyone else had problems with their encrypted home directory recently (Ubuntu 13.04)? I rebooted my laptop this morning and can no longer access it. Just wondering if it is possible a recent update caused problems. | 02:46 |
| deezed | ds_: I would try something like: sudo 'dpkg-reconfigure -a', then apt-get remove again | 02:46 |
| lf94 | Ububegin: With what Canonical makes a user go through before downloading, that could change. :) | 02:47 |
| Danato | <ianorlin> my question was never which client is the "best", I asked which one do you like the most, your personal preference | 02:47 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, i also recall apt-get can fetch sources | 02:47 |
| ianorlin | weechat | 02:48 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, so you may pool the source code straight from the ubuntu source repos | 02:48 |
| racho | *pull | 02:48 |
| kriskropd | Danato: a poll is a poll is a poll is a poll | 02:48 |
| kriskropd | irssi :x | 02:49 |
| deezed | ds_: ? | 02:49 |
| deezed | kriskropd: indeed its nice | 02:49 |
| deezed | Danato: but xchat is so easy | 02:50 |
| dancemasterglenn | racho, that might be better... let me check and see if i can do that | 02:50 |
| kriskropd | deezed: but xchat uses gtk, doesn't it? i can access my irssi over ssh from anywhere, like I do | 02:51 |
| kriskropd | Danato: these discussions get offtopic, as you can see, which is why we refrain from asking such questions here - you really ought to ask that again in #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:51 |
| deezed | kriskropd: thats true. I actually dont use xchat much. I use more konversation, from kde, and irssi | 02:51 |
| Danato | ianorlin: thank you | 02:51 |
| dancemasterglenn | E: Unable to find a source package for gnome-volume-control | 02:51 |
| deezed | kriskropd: but accessing from anywhere you mean any terminal or shell, right? | 02:52 |
| Danato | kriskropd: ok no problem | 02:53 |
| kriskropd | deezed: yeah, I have a bash-fetish I think :X | 02:53 |
| deezed | kriskropd: haha, nice! | 02:54 |
| dancemasterglenn | racho, looking through synaptic and not seeing anything that looks quite like gnome-volume-control, gvc, etc... would it be contained in a larger overall package, possibly? | 02:55 |
| racho | dancemasterglenn, quite possible | 02:56 |
| dancemasterglenn | hmm. | 02:56 |
| deezed | ds_: so? | 02:56 |
| ds_ | deezed: sorry bout that .. i restarted the vm, snd the /etc/fail2ban.conf is hal there? it stops at fail2band pid file. when i try to remove, it says dpkg --configure -a. and still the same issue | 02:58 |
| ds_ | deezed: nevermind ,, reboot worked ! thanks ! | 02:59 |

| OlderThanDirt | I have an ANCIENT Dell Optiplex with the onboard graphics | 03:29 |

| xmetal | hmm | 03:36 |
| xmetal | !xubuntu | 03:37 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 03:37 |
| OlderThanDirt | Uses XFCE as the desktop environment XFCE is a fork of the old GNOME desktop, aimed at being lightweight but still usable. runs decently on lower end/old hardware Not exactly "super fast", but better than GNOME/Unity/KDE | 03:37 |

| nezzarioX | so it's literally just ubuntu with xfce4 preinstalled? | 03:37 |

| xmetal | ack @ 512 ... i'd go with (try it anyway) xfce, lxde or enlightment on that | 03:40 |

| nezzarioX | xmetal, i'm installing xfce now | 03:40 |
| OlderThanDirt | like I said, it's old | 03:41 |
| xmetal | hmm i have an old pc with 1.79ghz processor and 768 ... was going to try (xfce) on that but that hardware is failing | 03:41 |
| xmetal | doesn't work 1/2 the time | 03:41 |
| xmetal | i like xfce... even on my faster PC | 03:41 |
| xmetal | thats what I like about Linux .. can use w/e dE i feel like at a certain time | 03:41 |

| judgen | nezzarioX, if you want X without having to write startx or load a display manager for login you can always use the "nodm" package. | 03:41 |
| nezzarioX | judgen, dear god thank you | 03:42 |
| kriskropd | since we're discussing this, I might ask the question that brought me here a few hours ago that never got answered - does anyone here know which aLL packages need to be purged and removed for xorg? | 03:42 |
| OlderThanDirt | I can plug away with the 12.04 default GUI, in 2D, but I can't get it to recognize different resolutions | 03:42 |
| reisio | OlderThanDirt: that should be okay with Ubuntu, but better with Xfce, yeah | 03:42 |
| kriskropd | I'm fixing a borken xubuntu 12.04 install that updated ins tyle and failed | 03:42 |
| judgen | nezzarioX, when you install it it tells you to edit a text file to select what user and to enable it (as it is disabled by default) | 03:43 |
| judgen | nezzarioX, i use it all the time. | 03:43 |
| OlderThanDirt | reisio: thanks for the info. Like I've mentioned, I've never really gotten to know Linux that well, so I'm a n00b, to use the new word for rookie | 03:44 |
| nezzarioX | that's not exactly a new word | 03:44 |

| Vivekananda | somsip: thanks. I will check /etc/mysql/my.cnf for the image | 03:47 |
| nezzarioX | i deinstalled some sound management crap on this ubuntu install when I first installed it about 6 mo's ago | 03:47 |
| OlderThanDirt | nothing retarded about Dr. Who | 03:47 |
| xmetal | he got lost and went back to 1985 i guess | 03:47 |
| nezzarioX | i'd really like to watch some media on here tonight if possible, .. how would I go about sound? | 03:48 |
| Vivekananda | somsip: a question though. If I am a new user how would I know that my.cnf is actually the file I should go to when trying to locate the info for mysql ? | 03:48 |
| Vivekananda | other than asking you or someone here ? | 03:48 |
| judgen | nezzarioX, if your sound services got borked. make sure that alsa-tools, alsa-utils and lsb is installed. | 03:48 |
| nezzarioX | yeah, alsa-tools sounds like what I deinstalled | 03:48 |
| nezzarioX | 99.9% of the time it sits headless over here | 03:48 |
| judgen | nezzarioX, alsa uses extremely little power though. Pulse uses a little more, but it runs on top of alsa and is not needed unless you need the extra features. | 03:49 |
| somsip | Vivekananda: you read about the software you are using to find out how it works | 03:49 |
| nezzarioX | i just need stereo sound through this ancient onboard audio | 03:50 |
| nezzarioX | with vlc | 03:50 |
| judgen | nezzarioX, then alsa would do fine. Remember to look in the vlc preferences that it uses a output plugin that you have installed on the system | 03:50 |
| nezzarioX | i don't think the kernel sees the audio device though | 03:51 |
| judgen | i never use pulse as sound crackles even with the tsched tricgger set. | 03:51 |
| judgen | nezzarioX, is it listed in lspci? | 03:51 |
| Vivekananda | so I read about mysql to find it out right ? | 03:52 |
| judgen | time for a reboot for me.. hopefully my driver issues will be solved now | 03:52 |
| nezzarioX | sorry, the kernel sees it, .. AC'97 Audio Controller Intel Corp 82801DB/DBL/DBM | 03:52 |
| somsip | Vivekananda: or you can come on irc and ask other people to tell you want you need to know. | 03:52 |
| nezzarioX | damn this thing is ancient | 03:52 |
| Vivekananda | somsip: yep I know :) but that stumps my own action and thinking coz it is easy answer :) | 03:54 |
| somsip | Vivekananda: depends on how self-reliant you are then. Some people clearly come on here with no evidence that they've tried to find something out for themselves. | 03:54 |
| Nautilus | Vivek: googling the right things helps greatly ... | 03:55 |

| Vivekananda | nezzarioX: np | 03:56 |

| racho | gharz, you sure there is an export typed as eport? | 03:57 |
| IcemanV9 | gharz: eport should be export | 03:57 |
| gharz | racho: and it could be in .bashrc? | 03:58 |

| Rallias | What debug commands can I run on openvswitch to figure out why it isn't working? | 03:59 |
| ldnn | hi | 04:06 |
| Nautilus | i've installed vsftp and am wondering if I can disable FTP access (SFTP only)? | 04:06 |
| ldnn | Does anyone know where to put startup scripts in Ubuntu? | 04:06 |
| Flannel | Nautilus: Yes, uninstall vsftp. Instead, install openssh-server, which will give you SFTP automagically (unless you want to do it with virtual users, then it won't be automagic) | 04:07 |
| nezzarioX | Nautilus, ubuntu doesn't come with any ftp by default.. if you mean vsftp, uninstall it or remove it from startup | 04:07 |
| wilee-nilee | ldnn, does it need admin? | 04:07 |
| nezzarioX | ldnn, /etc/rc.local is good for simple things | 04:07 |
| ldnn | nezzarioX, much appreciated | 04:08 |
| nezzarioX | ok sound is not working | 04:08 |
| nezzarioX | do I need to start/stop soming after instlaling alsa-tools alsa-utils and lsb ? | 04:08 |
| ldnn | not really. I just need to load System Load Indicator on startup | 04:08 |
| nezzarioX | ok, not the right place for window management stuff | 04:08 |
| nezzarioX | check your WM's startup script, | 04:09 |
| nezzarioX | is xinitrc still used? | 04:09 |
| nezzarioX | i'm a little out of date | 04:09 |
| Nautilus | so, no vsftp eh? ... | 04:10 |
| === Mars is now known as Guest8278 | ||
| ldnn | window manager startup script? | 04:10 |
| Flannel | Nautilus: You could, but it's a pain if you just want sftp for semi-personal use (commercial/strangers/etc is a different story, slightly) | 04:11 |
| wilee-nilee | ldnn, startup applications which needs a command to fill with whats already there. | 04:11 |
| Nautilus | personal use yes | 04:11 |
| wilee-nilee | ldnn, which is sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop | 04:12 |
| nezzarioX | i'm lost | 04:12 |
| Nautilus | here's something I don't understand ... OpenSSH wants me to make a key. How did I setup vsftp and am using Filezille via "SFTP using SSH2" without making a key? | 04:12 |
| Flannel | Nautilus: Yeah, just remove vsftp and install openssh-server, and then log in. | 04:13 |
| somsip | Nautilus: if you are using Filezilla and want to copy files securely, just use scp | 04:13 |
| Flannel | somsip: Filezilla will do sftp just fine. | 04:13 |
| Nautilus | how does it work when I haven't made a key on the VPS? | 04:14 |
| somsip | Flannel: indeed, but if he's having problems setting up SFTP maybe easier to work around the problem, is what I was thinking | 04:14 |
| Nautilus | SFTP is working fine, so does FTP | 04:14 |
| Nautilus | I just dont want to allow FTP | 04:14 |
| somsip | Nautilus: fair enough | 04:14 |
| Nautilus | mostly, so *I* myself don't forget to use SFTP ;) | 04:15 |
| Flannel | Nautilus: These aren't login/authentication keys, these are "I am server X" keys. | 04:15 |
| ldnn | For example: to load the System Load Indicator on startup | 04:15 |
| ldnn | is sed necessary for that case? | 04:15 |
| Flannel | Nautilus: So, the various pieces must've just created them, or used default ones, or whatever. I'm not familiar with vsftp, so I can't speak to it exactly. | 04:15 |
| yuchi | Hello, I installed Lubuntu but cannot get into any GUI. After I startup, the screen continues to flash. I am able to get out using Ctrl+Alt+F1, where I am now. Thanks for any help. | 04:16 |

| Nautilus | Flannel: again, no key. So maybe a default one. (snakeoil?) | 04:16 |
| yuchi | cfhowlett: Thank you. | 04:17 |
| wilee-nilee | yuchi, Boot in with the nomodeset option and check the graphic drivers. | 04:17 |

| yuchi | wilee-nilee: I will try that, thank you. | 04:18 |
| OlderThanDirt | Nautilus: I'm thinking so, all things considered | 04:18 |
| Nautilus | 1024x768 being a common max on old gfx hardware | 04:18 |
| OlderThanDirt | it IS ancient tech, compared to the machine I have sitting next to it | 04:18 |
| {-r-} | There is a red triangle with a ! in it, and when I try to update my computer it come up with Failed to download repository information, Check your Internet connection. | 04:19 |

| OlderThanDirt | Not a one, no | 04:19 |
| Nautilus | sounds like 1024x768 hardware to me then | 04:19 |
| OlderThanDirt | It's an old Optiplex GX280 | 04:19 |
| racho | OlderThanDirt, you could see if it actually can support more with xrandr although i suppose not. you may event try to force a new mode through xrandr but prepare for unforeseen consequences | 04:19 |

| racho | OlderThanDirt, you can use xrandr for more than dual screen imaging. | 04:22 |
| OlderThanDirt | cfhowlett: No, dude | 04:23 |
| Flannel | fobelx: Why 6.10, might I ask? | 04:23 |
| fobelx | Flannel: its hard to answer that. | 04:24 |
| fobelx | Flannel: it is a long story. | 04:24 |
| Flannel | fobelx: I'm sure there's a good answer, and you're aware that 6.10 isn't supported anymore, so no security fixes (for a number of years) and all that, right? | 04:24 |
| fobelx | Flannel: sure. i understand. | 04:25 |
| Flannel | fobelx: OK, so. With that out of the way. Is that package not in the repositories? | 04:25 |

| === fourq_ is now known as salesforce | ||

| fobelx | Flannel: so i was looking for a way to get it via the web. | 04:28 |
| === salesforce is now known as moreq | ||
| Flannel | fobelx: What about regular packages? Also, why does a proxy preclude you from that? (That's really annoying) | 04:28 |
| OlderThanDirt | ^ | 04:29 |
| Flannel | fobelx: But, that's fine, you can still browse the package archives manually there, just like from anywhere else. | 04:29 |
| Flannel | fobelx: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ would be where you'd start, and then you can do the apt-get thing manually, looking at the gz for the package names (the version for edgy, if it exists) and then go there and snag it, etc. | 04:30 |
| fobelx | Flannel: thanks. i'll give that a try. | 04:30 |

| oaulakh | i'm facing swap problem again | 05:15 |
| Guest87436 | 你妈逼 草 这杂用啊 | 05:15 |
| cfhowlett | !swap | 05:15 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 05:15 |

| oaulakh | means when i first install ubnutu i did not give swap space to system | 05:16 |
| oaulakh | but now i have the space | 05:16 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, Did you add the swap to fstab? | 05:17 |
| oaulakh | helo wilee-nilee | 05:17 |
| oaulakh | you know first it was solved | 05:17 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, Last time you were here sda2 was a swap, did you add it to fstab? | 05:18 |
| oaulakh | but every time when i start system, it need swap space | 05:18 |
| oaulakh | no | 05:18 |
| oaulakh | last time i sought that problem with gparted | 05:18 |
| oaulakh | but when ever sytem reboot i have to configure it again | 05:19 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, I showed you mine and explained the uuid and you were sent at least 2 bot messages on fstab. | 05:19 |
| oaulakh | i get my uuid | 05:19 |
| oaulakh | but how i add it to fstab | 05:20 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, run sudo blkid and pastebin it I will give you the command to open fstab and the notation for it. | 05:20 |
| oaulakh | okk | 05:20 |
| oaulakh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6414290/ | 05:23 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, To open fstab run gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and put this there UUID=595ae3d8-ad9a-473e-8181-0147ea5fadfd none swap sw 0 0 | 05:24 |
| oaulakh | gksudo not installed | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, the error says install gksu right? | 05:25 |
| oaulakh | yeah | 05:25 |
| oaulakh | can i run it with sudo | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, sudo apt-get install gksu then run what I showed. | 05:25 |
| === Mars is now known as Guest94183 | ||
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, IN general gksudo is for gui's but a good default anyway. | 05:27 |
| oaulakh | done | 05:28 |
| oaulakh | now should i restart? | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, You can, but now fstab will mount on staring the OS. | 05:28 |
| oaulakh | thanks again buddy | 05:29 |
| wilee-nilee | no prob | 05:29 |
| oaulakh | going to restart | 05:29 |
| oaulakh | pc | 05:29 |
| wilee-nilee | peace | 05:29 |
| oaulakh | thanks wilee-nilee now its showing me swap space | 05:36 |
| oaulakh | on default boot | 05:36 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, Excellent, so you know now if lets say you wanted another partition or HD to be auto mounted you add it to fstab. | 05:36 |
| oaulakh | yeah now i know | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, If you open fstab you will see your main ubuntu partition already there. | 05:37 |
| oaulakh | yeah i see it | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | cool, enjoy. ;) | 05:37 |
| oaulakh | that was like ext4 | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | yep | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | oaulakh, You can also instead of having the UUID just have the partition like this /dev/sda2 for the swap. | 05:38 |
| wilee-nilee | the UUID only is replaced by that the rest is the same for the sap. | 05:39 |
| wilee-nilee | swap | 05:39 |
| oaulakh | okk | 05:41 |
| oaulakh | i got it | 05:41 |
| oaulakh | you means if we hav'nt uuid we still can add swap to fstab | 05:42 |
| oaulakh | with device location like /dev/sda2, right? | 05:42 |
| somsip | oaulakh: using UUID means that if you move drives around for any reason, they still mount correctly. Using /dev/sdXX is less flexible | 05:44 |
| oaulakh | okkk | 05:44 |
| oaulakh | then i think uuid is better than location | 05:44 |
| oaulakh | gud nyt | 05:49 |

| joobz | guys, how do i access the terminal / bash / cli from the ubuntu live cd? | 06:33 |
| joobz | i'm sitting at the gui desktop, cant find how to do it | 06:33 |
| makara | my default shell was sh, and I would enter bash manually. I changed bash as the default shell, but now it won't load colour. What 2 do? | 06:33 |
| joobz | i tried running /bin/bash but that didnt work.. | 06:33 |
| makara | joobz, ctrl+alt+T | 06:33 |
| joobz | thanks | 06:34 |
| joobz | how sad is that.. cant find a shell on a linux OS :/ | 06:34 |
| makara | that's a gnome virtual terminal, or you can get an actual TTY with ctrl+alt+F1, F2, F3 | 06:35 |
| makara | lightdm (GUI) is loaded in no 7 | 06:35 |
| makara | very sad | 06:35 |
| Ari-Yang | joobz: dash board search 'terminal' done | 06:35 |
| Ari-Yang | or ctrl alt T like what makara said | 06:36 |
| joobz | should be an icon on the desktop or taskbar for it | 06:36 |
| moppy | joobz, unity has a dash now. click in the top left then type in 'terminal' and it will find it | 06:37 |
| moppy | joobz, once yo have loaded it for the first time, then you can lock it to the launcher bar if you like the old legacy interface | 06:37 |
| joobz | cool | 06:38 |
| joobz | thanks | 06:38 |
| moppy | Basicalyl how unity works is they want to pretend the smart search function of the dash is the star trek computer and that you can type or speak into the bar and it'll work out what you want, and do it | 06:38 |
| moppy | (And it actualyl do it in enabled applications like GIMP) | 06:39 |
| joobz | sounds like spotlight in mac | 06:39 |
| moppy | can spotlight drive an app yet? | 06:41 |
| moppy | so i wanted to cut and paste, would it do it? | 06:41 |
| moppy | coz like, unity does it ... don't think it's like spotlight | 06:43 |

| joobz | moppy, when you say drive an app, do you mean run an app? | 06:48 |
| moppy | joobz, If a program builds in support for it, you can operate the program's menu bar via the dash. For example in gimp you type in "convert" and it will open the image file format conversion menu etc | 06:50 |
| joobz | no you can't with spotlight | 06:51 |

| joobz | moppy, how can i install synaptic on the 13.0 livecd? | 06:53 |
| joobz | i tried apt-get install synaptic and it didnt work.. i want hfsprogs, but it's not coming down from apt | 06:54 |
| moppy | the package manager? | 06:54 |
| IJNX | any idea how to run my own daemon with init.d scripts with different username? | 06:54 |
| IJNX | ie. restricted user | 06:54 |
| moppy | whe you say "didnt work" what error did you get? i assume you tried it with sudo? | 06:54 |
| joobz | ya | 06:54 |
| IJNX | I keep hitting EACCES for log and pid file. | 06:54 |
| joobz | it just didnt find the package | 06:54 |
| joobz | i was going to try see if all my repos are checked.. also did an apt-get update and it didnt find it after that either | 06:55 |
| moppy | in ubuntu it is : "sudo apt-get install synaptic" | 06:55 |
| joobz | didnt work | 06:55 |
| joobz | cant find it | 06:55 |
| moppy | Not sure if you have all the repos enabled then | 06:55 |
| moppy | the settings icon for the software updater has a thing to enable repos | 06:56 |
| moppy | synaptic is in ubuntu software centre as well | 06:56 |
| joobz | that's weird | 06:58 |
| joobz | apt-get update does its thing, completes successfully | 06:58 |
| joobz | then software updater says there's 137MB of updates to go | 06:59 |
| joobz | moppy, my end goal is to install hfsprogs package - what is the easiest way to do this? | 06:59 |
| joobz | i am reading that i need to run synaptics to enable all my repos, which should let me install hfsprogs | 06:59 |
| moppy | update doesnt install software, it just updates the database | 07:00 |
| === woodchuck is now known as broketech | ||
| joobz | which database? | 07:00 |
| moppy | you need apt-get upgrade afterwards to actually pull down the upgrades | 07:00 |
| tozen | joobz: change updates server to Main in update-manager Settings then try to update one again and see what will happen with installation | 07:00 |
| tozen | *once again | 07:01 |
| joobz | ok | 07:01 |
| joobz | it is currently updating that 137MB of data | 07:01 |
| moppy | joobz, I dont understand why you don't use the gui software updater if you are not familiar with the terminal | 07:01 |
| joobz | .. but it was set to Main before i got in here | 07:01 |
| tozen | joobz: ok | 07:01 |
| joobz | moppy, i prefer terminal.. just i use ports and rpm more so than apt | 07:01 |
| Danato | how do turn a screen off using xrandr? | 07:04 |
| joobz | that's funny | 07:05 |
| joobz | after completing the software upgrade of 137MB via the gui, it said i need to restart | 07:06 |
| Danato | nvm, got it | 07:06 |
| joobz | .. im using a live cd :) | 07:06 |
| moppy | joobz, yum list updates is "apt-get update" and "yum upgrade" is "apt-get upgrade" | 07:06 |
| Danato | hehehehe | 07:06 |
| moppy | joobz, the livecd has a persistant filesystem on it, it can update itself | 07:06 |
| joobz | but when i reboot | 07:06 |
| joobz | it goes right? | 07:06 |
| moppy | *yum update sorry | 07:06 |
| moppy | no it doesnt go | 07:06 |
| moppy | you;re updating the livecd | 07:07 |
| joobz | where is it storing that 137MB ? | 07:07 |
| joobz | the livecd is readonly? | 07:07 |
| moppy | on the usb of course | 07:07 |
| joobz | it's a DVD | 07:07 |
| moppy | oh sorry ... didnt realise you had opticals | 07:07 |
| moppy | my mistake, i dont use them anymore. sorry. | 07:07 |
| joobz | all good :) | 07:08 |
| joobz | apt-get update seems to be doing more this time | 07:08 |
| moppy | i dont have any optical drives left. none of my laptops have them. | 07:08 |
| joobz | ya.. we have an external drive for this | 07:09 |
| joobz | as often laptops are without these days | 07:09 |
| joobz | kinda like our USB floppy disk drive, for windows drivers on installation | 07:09 |
| moppy | i think apart from game consoles i havent touched an optical disk in several years | 07:10 |
| guidov | hey, the update manager just popped up and i agreed to install the updates, now it hangs at a certain step, what to do? | 07:13 |
| Danato | i only use the optical drive to install OSs | 07:14 |

| cleansweep | Hi, I'm trying to figure out the permissions setup on my apache2 install. I've setup a VM with 12LTS and installed apache2. It installed the /var/www directory as root|root. What's the recommend way for me to setup /www so that I can edit without switching to root? | 08:08 |
| cleansweep | Any thoughts? | 08:09 |
| cjmactheknife | cleansweep: normally apache2 runs as user/group www-data:www-data, so I'd say set the owner and group to that for a start | 08:10 |
| cjmactheknife | cleansweep: if you then put your user in the www-data group and ensure the files are group +rw, you will be able to edit them | 08:11 |
| gvo | sgo11 just make your change and "make" | 08:12 |
| cleansweep | hi cjmactheknife, I read one webpage where they recommended you do that but doesn't it open up security issues? | 08:12 |
| gvo | sgo11: as long as you don't reconfigure, you can change source files and run make again. | 08:12 |
| sgo11 | gvo, after make, what else should I do? since I followed this link "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel" and build the kernel with the command "fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic". thanks. | 08:13 |
| cleansweep | so your apache server can modify pages in the /www directory | 08:13 |
| gvo | sgo11: I'm not sure what that script does. | 08:14 |
| sgo11 | gvo, maybe I should simply run "fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic" this again. | 08:14 |
| gvo | Try it. | 08:14 |
| cjmactheknife | cleansweep: well, another option is to make sure the group is www-data and you're the owner, and just don't give group write permission, just read (and execute on directories, so it can traverse them) | 08:14 |
| cleansweep | It's not really an issue because I'm the only one who will see this server and the code will be pushed to a remote server with a different setup | 08:15 |
| sgo11 | gvo, thanks. I am trying it now... | 08:15 |
| sgo11 | gvo, how can I make sure that change gets compiled? | 08:15 |
| cleansweep | but I would like to understand what's gong on | 08:15 |
| gvo | Search for the *.o file that has the same name as the *.c file you changed. If the timestamp is newer than the *.c file, it worked. | 08:16 |
| sgo11 | gvo, thanks. I was thinking about that too. where does those .o files store? | 08:17 |
| gvo | often in the same directory as the .c | 08:17 |
| sgo11 | gvo, by running the command again, I got this error now: "/home/user1/kernel/3.5.0/linux-3.5.0 is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'" | 08:18 |
| gvo | sgo11 what directory are you in? | 08:19 |
| sgo11 | gvo, in the directory I was compiling the kernel successfully last time. | 08:19 |
| gvo | sgo11 not helpful, what directory specifically | 08:20 |
| cleansweep | cjmactheknife okay, I've changed the owner but left the group as root.Tested it, seems to have worked. Thanks for your help | 08:20 |
| sgo11 | gvo, /home/user1/kernel/3.5.0/linux-3.5.0 | 08:20 |

| gvo | labeebahmad32: So it sounds like something else is running. | 08:33 |
| labeebahmad32 | ok | 08:33 |
| gvo | labeebahmad32: Do you have another package manager running? Like Synaptic? | 08:33 |
| labeebahmad32 | i dont know | 08:33 |

| gvo | labeebahmad32: teisei OK as long as nothing is running. | 08:34 |
| teisei | Yes indeed I forgot to mention that | 08:34 |
| teisei | Make sure synaptic or update-manager is not running | 08:34 |
| labeebahmad32 | update manager is running | 08:35 |
| gvo | labeebahmad32: stop it | 08:35 |
| teisei | You may want to let it finish or kill it | 08:35 |
| wilee-nilee | labeebahmad32, You can't run two different installs at thew same time, let the update manager finish. | 08:36 |
| wilee-nilee | ola2, What do you mean "copy ppa repository"? | 08:39 |
| gvo | labeebahmad32: or let it finish. | 08:45 |
| labeebahmad32 | its about to finish | 08:45 |
| sl1ck | my grub screen is sluggish, how do I make it less 'graphicy' and more robust? | 08:45 |
| gvo | labeebahmad32: when it finishes you can rerun the dpkg | 08:45 |

| faryshta | which is the best way to connect to tor? i am trying vidalia but so far all fails | 08:56 |
| DJones | !tor | faryshta Not something I use, but hopefully the bot's info will help, | 08:57 |
| ubottu | faryshta Not something I use, but hopefully the bot's info will help,: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 08:57 |
| faryshta | DJones, i am at this step https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#using but the tor browser doen't seem to run | 08:59 |
| DJones | faryshta: I'm afraid its not something I've ever used, so beyond knowing about the bots factoid, I'm afraid I can't help with it | 09:01 |
| geirha | elementary, gvo: No, aliases aren't very useful in /etc/profile. Instead, put export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto' in there | 09:06 |
| gvo | geirha: Didn't know that. Thanks | 09:07 |
| elementary | geirha: Thank you. | 09:08 |

| Adari | i fubared! | 09:15 |
| Adari | Have a Win7 boot... and a Ubuntu partition | 09:15 |
| Adari | deleted my ubuntu partition to try out linux mint | 09:16 |
| fishsponge | hello! Is anyone using chrome v 31.0.1650.48 and having issues with the Facebook web site???!? | 09:16 |
| Adari | now it's not booting either. | 09:16 |
| fishsponge | basically, whenever I hover over anything on Facebook, including flash games, nothing shows up. If I click on something, I have then clicked on it... every other web site works fine, and facebook works fine in other browsers too... just Facebook is acting weird in Chrome v31 on Linux... | 09:18 |
| fishsponge | for example, if I hover over a hyperlink, the cursor does not change and the hyperlink does not get underlined... but if I click on it it works! | 09:18 |
| Adari | fish: what extensions do you have installed? | 09:22 |
| kali_eskrima | hi where and how do you create a file with a command lines? and than that it will be recognized and run in the terminal? where in ubuntu you do? | 09:22 |
| fritz_ | hie people i installed ubuntu 13.10 on a partition that had linux mint, but when i try installing a program using terminal i get the following message, /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintSources/mintSources can anyone help | 09:24 |
| jenenliu | hi guys, how can I edit my grub configuration after install ubuntu | 09:24 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO hi, HOWS GOING? where and how do you create a file with a command lines? and than that it will be recognized and run in the terminal? where in ubuntu you do? | 09:24 |
| fritz_ | sh: 1: /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintSources/mintSources.py: not found | 09:24 |
| gvo | jenenliu: vi /etc/default/grub | 09:25 |
| jenenliu | gvo: thanks | 09:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: hey. I'm not 100% following exactly what you're asking. do you want to know about writing scripts? | 09:25 |
| adac | how can I identify processes that use the hard disk extensively? | 09:25 |
| gvo | adac you could try iotop | 09:26 |
| vlt | adac: +1 | 09:27 |
| wilee-nilee | fritz_, Can you show us what this makes. lsb_release -a | 09:27 |
| scomed | ciao | 09:27 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO ok i m talking about this..... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6414980/ | 09:27 |
| vlt | scomed: Ciao | 09:27 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO also when you told me the other day about how to set my network mng for me to be always able to connect. well i did something and it seems its working now. but i dont know how to crate files that will work as an executable files. as you mentioned couple of days ago. i saved the conversation so i can try make it work. | 09:29 |
| adac | gvo, hmm iotop doesn't seem to show a process that is behaving out of normal it seems. I really have no clue what my pc makes so slow sometimes. It is not the memory, it is not the swap, it is not the processor, so it has to be disk load | 09:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: now I'm more confused. That's a udev rule. | 09:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: if you want to create a file and execute that file _. sounds like a script to me. I can explain that real simple. | 09:31 |
| gvo | adac if iotop isn't showing actvity, I think your assumption has to be wrong. | 09:31 |
| adac | gvo, it shows activity but not permanet activity. I'm not sure can even non permanent activity bring the speed of the machine down? | 09:32 |
| ogzy | what is the default username and password at the horizan interface after mirantis installation? | 09:33 |
| gvo | adac I doubt it. You might run sar and see if you can spot anything. | 09:33 |
| ogzy | ok it seems admin, admin | 09:33 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO haha sorry. i was trying to create a file that will always recognize my samsung phone when connected. i have a bunch of stuff that i need transfer. and then i remembered yhe other day u suggested to create a file for my netwrok manager.... so i just added that in. | 09:34 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO this is the website full from that pastebin http://askubuntu.com/questions/34297/galaxy-s-not-detected-how-do-i-make-it-work | 09:34 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO what is file _. ?? | 09:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: ahh i see. I get you now. In what way do you want the phone to be recognized? | 09:35 |
| faryshta | which is the best way to connect to tor? i am trying vidalia but so far all fails | 09:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: is it for data transfer? | 09:36 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO i want to see my folders and to see the data, transfer pictures and music... etc... yes | 09:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: ok. the first answer here should be right: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34297/galaxy-s-not-detected-how-do-i-make-it-work This will switch the phone to usb transfer mode. Is this not working for you? | 09:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: you should ignore the second answer thats for a different issue altogether | 09:38 |
| TsukasaUjiie | Hey, Im on ubuntu 13.04 (cloud images) and my rc-sysinint.conf upstart job isnt running at all. what would cause that? | 09:39 |
| kali_eskrima | no i didnt tried because i dont have with me the usb cable | 09:39 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO no i didnt tried because i dont have the usb cable with me now | 09:40 |
| gvo | kali_eskrima: install airdroid? | 09:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: its just that you need to change the phone setting to be visible as a usb mass storage device. Later versions of android require you to install software to recognize mtp devices. But for the samsung galaxy S it just needs that to be recognized as usb storage. | 09:42 |
| you-tee-f | hi | 09:43 |
| adac | gvo when trying to start sar I do get: Cannot open /var/log/sysstat/sa14: No such file or directory Please check if data collecting is enabled in /etc/default/sysstat but the ENABLED in the config is set to true | 09:43 |
| you-tee-f | i'm using an irc online, does someone know where i can find a no-install irc for ubuntu ? | 09:44 |
| cfhowlett | you-tee-f, you mean a web based alternative? | 09:44 |
| gvo | adac dpkg-reconfigure sysstat | 09:44 |
| gvo | adac and start /etc/init.d/sysstat start (or restart) | 09:45 |
| gvo | you-tee-f: chatzilla comes to mind | 09:46 |
| ianmac1 | you-tee-f, have you tried: https://webchat.freenode.net/ | 09:47 |
| === viv`d is now known as vivid | ||
| adac | gvo, did the trick! thanks! | 09:48 |
| DJones | you-tee-f: How do you mean no-install? Ubuntu comes with app's like xchat/empathy pre-installed, as far as I know, outside of using them or installing another app like irssi etc, you would have to use a webchat in a browser | 09:48 |
| cfhowlett | you-tee-f, there are firefox add-ons and, I'm sure, chromium as well | 09:49 |
| DJones | ianmac1: Just looking at you-tee-f's timeout message, they are using webchat, so I guess thats not what they want | 09:50 |
| babinlonston | While Mounting a NFS share how can i Mount it Specifying as read and Write in fstab entry | 09:50 |
| DJones | cfhowlett: They timed out, you'll have to resend that when they rejoin | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | DJones, noted. | 09:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: give it the rw option ... it should do this by default tho | 09:51 |
| faryshta | hitsujiTMO, hi. do you know about tor? | 09:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | faryshta: no i don't use it at all i'm afraid | 09:51 |
| faryshta | HiddenDjinn, damn. thanks | 09:51 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: its not Mount with rw , my fstab entry is here pls have a note 192.168.1.160:/nfsshare /home/sysadmin/nfsshare nfs rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0 | 09:52 |

| the_drow | Hi, I have a USB 3 to ethernet converter that doesn't work for me on 13.10 but works for another developer that is using the same OS and device. | 09:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: then i would assume that its configured on the server to be read only or you simply do not have write access to the folder that is bing mounted | 09:53 |
| makara | hi. I'm running 12.04 LTS Server. I read long time ago multiple users are a security risk. I've got 27. Any information about this? | 09:53 |
| the_drow | It's manufactured by STLabs | 09:53 |
| cfhowlett | !server|makara, | 09:53 |
| ubottu | makara,: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 09:53 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: this is my server config -----> /nfsshare 192.168.1.99(rw,subtree_check,sync,no_root_squash) | 09:54 |
| wilee-nilee | the_drow, See if running lsusb gives more details on it. | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | makara: in the sense that the more users you have, the more passwords there are to guess | 09:54 |
| adac | gvo, sar -d should output the disk activity right? | 09:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: and what are the permissions on /nfsshare ? | 09:54 |
| the_drow | wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6415066/ | 09:54 |
| === ogzy is now known as Guest69790 | ||
| the_drow | Appearntly it's ASIX inside | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | makara: it's not really a big deal, as long as everyone is using sensible passwords and you keep stuff up-to-date | 09:55 |
| makara | gordonjcp, seems unnecessary clutter for a server version | 09:55 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: its rw | 09:55 |
| the_drow | But the driver should be included in the 3.11 kernel mainline. | 09:55 |
| the_drow | wilee-nilee: It's working for a colleague of mine. | 09:55 |
| makara | gordonjcp, they're machine users, like 'games' 'irc' 'backup' | 09:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: can you show me the output of: mount | 09:56 |
| makara | gordonjcp, cat /etc/passwd | 09:56 |
| gvo | adac man sar | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | makara: they have no shells | 09:56 |

| makara | gordonjcp, they do. They have no home directories. | 09:56 |

| hitsujiTMO | makara: they are system accounts not user accounts. anything below uid 1000 is a system account. | 09:57 |
| wilee-nilee | the_drow, I have no idea to be honest, usually there is more info to search the web with. | 09:58 |
| makara | hitsujiTMO, so what does that mean in terms of security? | 09:58 |
| the_drow | wilee-nilee: I had this one installed for 13.04... | 09:58 |

| uladzislau | i have a big problem and need your help | 10:04 |
| uladzislau | the problem is that i can't log-in to kde plasma dektop. When i log-in, i getting standard login splash screen (icons of Hdd, earch etc) and then i getting black screen for a half-a-second and then i getting back to login screen | 10:04 |

| FloodBot1 | uladzislau: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:04 |
| uladzislau | it seems something with X server | 10:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | makara: makara that not logging to that account. that's assuming it's identity. try sshing to the server with: ssh irc@serverip you can't log in | 10:05 |
| wilee-nilee | the_drow, Ni I believe I said that already. | 10:05 |
| wilee-nilee | No* | 10:06 |

| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: sysadmin@system99:~$ echo "hello" | sudo tee /home/sysadmin/nfsshare/hello_file | 10:10 |
| babinlonston | hello | 10:10 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO what is dmesg? do i add the to the command? | 10:11 |
| gvo | adac that's the amount of time spent in the OS | 10:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: dmesg is a command. it outputs a system log | 10:11 |
| gvo | adac or not executing user instructions. | 10:11 |
| adac | gvo, yeah just scrolling down the huge man file .) | 10:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: if you've ran that: there should be a file hello_file in /home/sysadmin/nfsshare | 10:12 |
| gvo | adac however most of the system time is a result of the user asking the system to do something for him, not necessarily overhead of the OS. | 10:12 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: yes there is a file .... then Why i cant create any file and remove any file in GUI ? | 10:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: because you do not have permissions to write. Is this a share in your home or is this in work? | 10:14 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: work | 10:14 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO here you go. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6415151/ | 10:15 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO tell me if its missing something... i think it is | 10:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: and what kind of security do you need for this share? do you mid it being open or do you want it for you and you only? | 10:15 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: there are 24 Users here , They need to access it now With read and Write | 10:16 |

| gvo | kali_eskrima: Did ZBCss look like he was asking for ubuntu support? | 10:23 |
| cfhowlett_ | kali_eskrima, I'm going to assume that ZBCss post was NOT about ubuntu as he dropeed his snake game payload and departed. | 10:23 |
| kali_eskrima | gvo no not really.. just blabbering haha | 10:23 |
| kali_eskrima | cfhowlett what is a snake game? how do you see that a playload? sorry im very new to all this. and i like to learn from you guys, | 10:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: hmm. whatever is causing the problem is not being dumped to dmesg. can you tell me any exact info about the errors? | 10:25 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO ok its not a big deal , but the loading time is longer than how i should be, and its a black screen with message... cant load bytes broken pipes? and than it will load to the ubuntu desktop. maybe is nothing major, but i dont know | 10:26 |
| kali_eskrima | cfhowlett yeah some people are just attention seekers and naggers | 10:27 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: Done | 10:28 |
| === vibout is now known as vibowit | ||
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: it could just be that the system is waiting for network interface to come up | 10:28 |
| kali_eskrima | gvo so here there is not admin? that can someone be kicked out? or blocked? | 10:28 |
| gvo | kali_eskrima: yes, but he came in did his thing and left. No time to kick. | 10:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: on the client can you remount the nfs share: sudo mount -a | 10:29 |
| k1l_ | kali_eskrima: lets focus on ubuntu support in here. if you have a problem with users in here you are free to come to #ubuntu-ops and talk to the ops | 10:29 |
| gvo | kali_eskrima: Or complain on #freenode | 10:30 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujitTMO Oooh ok so i dont think is a big deal. so if i may ask you again. plese explain me more how to create a file and to add that command to exectute. where to add, how and how do i do? thanks sorry if i ask too much i just dont know, much about linux and ubuntu. just new to it | 10:30 |
| forgeaus | you guys have ubottu right? whats the command to get it to say foreign language channels? | 10:30 |
| forgeaus | I can only remember botsnack lol | 10:30 |
| olf-folks | would it hurt my server to remove Plymouth | 10:31 |
| kali_eskrima | k1l oh year there is the live admin :D yeah no problem. im focused on my problem solving. i wont say a word. sorry | 10:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: you you have naything defined in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 10:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | anything* | 10:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: no | 10:31 |
| forgeaus | if plymouth is only cosmetic then I don't see it as being harmful to remove... | 10:32 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO is that a folder you are talking about? or a com,mand? i dont know what is defined. | 10:32 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: ya its mounted but the server have other files and im here seeing some other files and folders | 10:32 |

| === rj-bplace is now known as rj_bplace | ||
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO I mean i know what it means but i dont know what are you talking about | 10:32 |

| forgeaus | !botsnack | 10:33 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 10:33 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: no i cant create | 10:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: thats a config file. can you: cat /etc/network/interfaces and paste the output | 10:34 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO oh ok, one sec | 10:34 |
| olf-folks | it wont let me remove Plymouth for some reason. | 10:35 |
| IamTrying | Who is maintaining bd.ubuntu.xxxxx ? all the packages to install with apt-get is failing , so bad quality, does anyone checks there quality? | 10:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: forry. i forgot one important thing. on the server can you: chmod 777 /nfsshare | 10:35 |
| IamTrying | I am remotely on a bd.ubuntu pc and i cant install any packages with apt-get all gives forbidden | 10:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: sorry* | 10:35 |
| babinlonston | ok | 10:36 |

| olf-folks | http://paste.debian.net/65786/ | 10:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | babinlonston: then remount on the client again (sudo mount -a) and try to crate a file in the share | 10:36 |
| IamTrying | package repository of bd.ubuntu is third class, can anyone please advise what should be done? | 10:37 |
| cfhowlett_ | IamTrying, yes. don't use that mirror. | 10:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: hmm. its not waiting for a network interface to come up then. must be something else broken, but cannot tell without knowing any specific errors | 10:38 |
| IamTrying | cfhowlett_, its so Third class repository - shame on them, very bad management , like Ubuntu is not working that kind of impressions they are getting | 10:38 |
| k1l_ | IamTrying: change to the main servers | 10:38 |
| IamTrying | cfhowlett_, who is maintain this repository its very bad quality. | 10:38 |
| IamTrying | OK | 10:38 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO ooh i see. ok nevermind the errors for now. i guess the ubuntu is working noneless with errors poping up. they are very fast on the start up screen. | 10:39 |
| ianmac1 | Will the Mate desktop env eventually make it into the repos? | 10:39 |
| cfhowlett_ | IamTrying, all of what you say may be true. That's probably why the default settings on ubuntu are to main mirrors. Of course that's easily changed to suit the user's needs. | 10:39 |
| k1l_ | ianmac1: if its comming to debian | 10:40 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: its Done | 10:40 |
| cfhowlett_ | !mate|ianmac1, | 10:40 |
| ianmac1 | !mate | 10:40 |
| babinlonston | hitsujiTMO: thanks man | 10:40 |
| ianmac1 | no factoid I guess | 10:40 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO so anyway can you help me with the folders creating of a file or executable file.. or where can i find more info on that... i want to create files to be executable. as you said for the network manager. i forgot exactly your words but i remember sometbing about the creating some file under certain name.. and then do the run in the terminal. i dont know what to create and where to create those files... | 10:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | IamTrying: that mirror is controlled by dhakaCom Limited https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 10:40 |
| IamTrying | OK - Thank you i will ask them to replace it to my servers i run several servers | 10:41 |
| cfhowlett_ | !mirror|IamTrying, Not that I've ever done it, but if you're running servers, perhaps you might wish to set up your OWN mirror. | 10:42 |

| cfhowlett_ | hitsujiTMO, where are you finding the info. I searched for "bd" and got nothing. | 10:43 |
| forgeaus | I think Kubuntu is going there, from what I read ... | 10:43 |
| ArcticLight | Hello, I have a question about Launchpad bugs... Is it possible to A) mark a bug as a possible regression and/or B) note which versions of Ubuntu contain the bug? | 10:43 |
| theadmin | ArcticLight: Try #launchpad | 10:43 |
| theadmin | forgeaus: Ah, maybe. But not the mainstream Ubuntu, it's gonna be using Mir. | 10:43 |
| === IJNX_ is now known as IJNX | ||
| forgeaus | whats Mir? | 10:44 |
| theadmin | forgeaus: A display server developed by Canonical for Ubuntu | 10:44 |

| adeebnqo | Hello, I have a memory card thats protected with a password. How can I reset the password using ubuntu? | 10:44 |
| cfhowlett_ | hitsujiTMO, thanks! | 10:44 |
| forgeaus | well its possible the Kubuntu thing I was reading was old? I'm not sure if they're going Mir though ... | 10:44 |
| cfhowlett_ | !password|adeebnqo, | 10:44 |
| ubottu | adeebnqo,: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 10:44 |

| ubottu | babinlonston: Glad you made it! :-) | 10:45 |
| olf-folks | http://paste.debian.net/65786/ | 10:45 |
| theadmin | forgeaus: From what I know, Kubuntu team doesn't plan to support Mir and for now will stay on X.org. | 10:45 |
| forgeaus | they seem to have split from canonical | 10:45 |
| adeebnqo | cfhowlett_ : The issue is not the password for my OS but rather of the memory card | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett_ | !kubuntu|forgeaus, | 10:45 |
| ubottu | forgeaus,: Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 10:45 |
| k1l_ | forgeaus: since KDE is refusing to support MIR kubuntu will evaluate to use Wayland after KDE drops X support. but that is some time away and better asked in #kubuntu | 10:45 |
| theadmin | forgeaus: They never were *in* Canonical. All the derivatives (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Studio) are mantained by the brilliant community :) | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett_ | adeebnqo, ah, sorry. missed that part | 10:46 |

| ubottu | kali_eskrima: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:46 |
| forgeaus | oh I wasn't trying to ask the question lol I was just making a comment | 10:46 |
| forgeaus | I wonder what happened to fluxbuntu ... | 10:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: create a file in you're home directory. call it hello_world. in the hello_world file add the line: echo "hello world" save it and then make the file executable: chmod +x hello_world then run the file with: ./hello_world | 10:47 |

| forgeaus | and why there never really was a stepbuntu? | 10:47 |
| d | -W | 10:47 |
| olf-folks | i think im muted? | 10:47 |
| === d is now known as Zap-W | ||
| theadmin | forgeaus: Eh. Lubuntu uses LXDE which is Openbox + a panel | 10:48 |
| theadmin | forgeaus: Close enough :D | 10:48 |
| cfhowlett_ | olf-folks, nope | 10:48 |
| olf-folks | ahh okay | 10:48 |
| forgeaus | yeah I knew Lubuntu was LXDE but I don't know much about LXDE | 10:48 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO Ok ...let me try this contraption. so the adding the line goes inside the file . hm and the make it executable is with the right click or in the settings bar? | 10:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: it's much easier to di it all in the terminal | 10:49 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO do i create a new folder or new document? | 10:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: its a new document | 10:50 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO oh just in the terminal.. so i just follow the steps. | 10:50 |
| kali_eskrima | ok | 10:50 |
| Zap-W | Hi, Have a question in bash manual the syntax for parameter expansion is ${parameter/pattern/string} with 2 slashes / , but in Greg's bash faq there is an example with 3 slashes "${file//foo/bar}" I am confused why are there double // after file instead of only 1 | 10:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: nano is the default text editor in the terminal. | 10:50 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO do i have to specfiy in the terminal that this is a new document and how it will know where to save it? i mean will it save to my home directory? | 10:51 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO so i should say to terminal.... sudo nano tex editor? to start typing in the terminal... ? oh im sorry im really lost in space | 10:51 |
| theadmin | Zap-W: Try #bash | 10:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | kali_eskrima: in your home: just type: nano hello_world that will open the file hello_world for editing. if it doesn't exist then it will load an empty file that will be saved as hello_world when you save with (ctrl + o) | 10:52 |
| theadmin | kali_eskrima: sudo = run command as administrator. nano is *one* of the huge variety of console-based text editors, the easiest one. To summon it, you can type "nano filename" where "filename" is the file you want to edit. "sudo nano filename" = the same, but as an administrator. | 10:52 |
| kali_eskrima | great it sounds like a game.. like skyrim! | 10:53 |
| theadmin | kali_eskrima: Heh. | 10:54 |
| olf-folks | i have always thought vim was more easy to use than nano | 10:55 |
| === siva_ is now known as Guest21499 | ||
| kali_eskrima | theadmin i wish i can get classes on the ubuntu/linux or sometning like that so i wouldnt bother you guys all the time with the most smallest and stupidiest questions. | 10:55 |
| theadmin | kali_eskrima: Eh, that's okay. You can bother us all you want ;) Or even me, you can pm me, I'm more than willing to teach. | 10:55 |
| cfhowlett_ | kali_eskrima, not stupid questions and see IBM for linux learning resources. | 10:55 |
| k1l_ | olf-folks: if you are used to the keybindings and the way vi and vim works. for regular desktop user nano is more like a editor they know from the GUI | 10:56 |
| theadmin | Vim is great but it takes hours to properly understand it | 10:56 |
| cfhowlett_ | kali_eskrima, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lpic1-v3-map/ or hit your library for the LPCI 1 book | 10:56 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO oH I see now.. it works in the terminal. like it opens the word nano text thingy great. ok let me try what you said earlier to create that file | 10:57 |
| kali_eskrima | theadmin thank you very much will do! :) | 10:57 |
| olf-folks | all you really need to know about vim is :qw! | 10:57 |
| kali_eskrima | cfhowlett thanks! | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett_ | kali_eskrima, also look for the free download "the ubuntu pocketguide" | 10:58 |
| theadmin | olf-folks: :wqa!, rather. | 10:58 |
| theadmin | olf-folks: "qw" is also not a command, quitting first and then writing makes no sense. | 10:59 |
| olf-folks | theadmin, i was testing you lol | 10:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: i tihnk you mean: q! | 10:59 |
| theadmin | "vi has two modes: beeping and breaking things" | 11:00 |

| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: sudo apt-get -f install | 11:02 |

| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:03 |
| forgeaus | plus two different modes from editing and writing, ugh, it does my head in | 11:04 |
| olf-folks | hitsujiTMO, i did that before i tried to remove it | 11:04 |
| kali_eskrima | hitsujiTMO ok i think i got it thanks i just need to play around and try it | 11:04 |
| gvo | forgeaus: It's not for people who don't use it fairly reguarly. | 11:04 |
| forgeaus | gvo exactly | 11:04 |
| forgeaus | I'm not saying it isn't powerful | 11:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: jusat try it agian now. can you pastebin the output | 11:04 |
| forgeaus | its just not my kind of text editor thats all | 11:04 |
| gvo | forgeaus: For those of us who need power and speed ... | 11:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: did you already remove some other packages? | 11:05 |
| olf-folks | hitsujiTMO, you want the whole output | 11:05 |
| forgeaus | gvo, then I say perhaps work smarter instead of harder? .. if you have the option :) | 11:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: please | 11:05 |
| Pumpkin-_ | any text editor that a first time user can't work out how to quit isn't user friendly. | 11:05 |
| theadmin | Pumpkin-_: When you run vim, it tells you how to quit right away :D | 11:06 |
| forgeaus | pumpkin well that isn' quite fair but under normal circumstances I'd agree | 11:06 |
| gvo | Pumpkin-_: Driving a semi isn't user friendly either however it is a necessary skill for some people. | 11:06 |
| olf-folks | http://paste.debian.net/65792/ | 11:06 |

| olf-folks | hitsujiTMO, oh my bad ha | 11:07 |
| Pumpkin-_ | theadmin: not if you open a file with it like "vi somefile". Then you are screwed. | 11:07 |
| theadmin | Pumpkin-_: True. Especially if you do use "vi", it's weird. Vim is way better. | 11:07 |

| gvo | gvim | 11:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: can you also pastebin: dpkg --get-selections | 11:08 |
| forgeaus | well the m part does stand for improved | 11:08 |
| gvo | best of both worlds | 11:08 |
| forgeaus | gvim is even better :) more improved | 11:08 |
| forgeaus | but still not so user friendly | 11:08 |
| theadmin | forgeaus: Actually, it used to stand for "Vi iMmitation". But then it became better so, yeah. | 11:08 |
| gvo | :help is always available | 11:08 |
| olf-folks | hitsujiTMO, hold on that may take a moment | 11:09 |
| forgeaus | theadmin interesting factoid, one which I'll probably not remember easily | 11:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | emacs ftw! | 11:09 |
| Pumpkin-_ | typing that : isn't going to be something 99% of first time users think of | 11:09 |
| forgeaus | I never understood how to use emacs either. .. | 11:09 |
| theadmin | forgeaus: You just hold down Ctrl or Alt and mash random keys just like you do in Vim :D | 11:09 |
| forgeaus | I think I'll just use kdevelop or something instead lol | 11:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | forgeaus: nah. use sublime text | 11:10 |
| gvo | forgeaus: Use notepad++ | 11:10 |
| olf-folks | http://paste.debian.net/65795/ | 11:10 |
| forgeaus | Pico is better for that... pico shows you what the commands are | 11:10 |
| forgeaus | although I guess I should say nano | 11:10 |
| Zap-W | from where what config file does kde take font name with alias ubuntu | 11:10 |
| Zap-W | I want to change the default font for ubuntu alias | 11:11 |
| Zap-W | oh it's an actual TTF font | 11:11 |
| k1l_ | forgeaus: do you have a suppor tissue? we have #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions and chatter to keep this channel clear for support | 11:11 |
| forgeaus | wasn't that originally part of the pine mail suite or something? | 11:11 |
| k1l_ | that inclused the $best-editor discussion :) | 11:11 |

| forgeaus | (its a bit late now... ) | 11:14 |
| olf-folks | hitsujiTMO, yeah i installed something that also installed gnome-session | 11:14 |
| olf-folks | hitsujiTMO, then it would not let me use openbox so i removed it | 11:15 |

| olf-folks | hitsujiTMO, me being someone who came from debian i have to ask why would Plymouth be required haha | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | olf-folks: its not required, its optional | 11:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | olf-folks: that i'm unsure of. there's a few very odd and unnecessary dependencies in ubuntu. | 11:25 |
| k1l_ | olf-folks: set nosplash and quite as kernel parameters for booting if you dont like plymuth | 11:25 |
| forgeaus | what is plymouth, I know when it runs (during bootup between grub and gdm or in my case kdm ... | 11:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | ActionParsnip: if you follow the dependency trail its needed for upstart | 11:25 |
| olf-folks | can i have a cool verbose boot? :D | 11:26 |
| Esor | why there's so big deal with ubuntufix website? | 11:26 |

| shomon | hi iptables | 11:27 |
| shomon | sorry but there is no problem getting out. the problem is internal | 11:28 |
| shomon | some router is plugged into another | 11:28 |
| shomon | or interfering where it shouldnt | 11:28 |
| === vibout is now known as vibowit | ||
| iptable | shomon: mtr to internal shows no delays? if so, this is not a layer 3 issue. You need to look at layer 1 - WiFi configuration itself. It would not be a router issue if on the same route it works on a cable and if mtr shows no issues. | 11:29 |
| shomon | yeah that's it.. how do I analyse the router traffic? | 11:29 |
| olf-folks | k1l_, kernel parameters? dose that have to do with grub? how would i change that? | 11:31 |
| shomon | aah okay so I guess I have to try from a computer connected to a router further down the chain... basically it's 3 routers connected together. but sometimes one gets some data crosswired | 11:32 |

| pacy_ | Hey there i got a really strange Problem. I recently installed xubuntu on my laptop and it works pretty fine except one thing: First it just occoured when the screensaver was activated and i got back to the laptop there were horizontal diplaycontortions. So i disabled it. But sometimes i need to close my laptop an when i reopen it the same issue eventuates. according to /var/log/Xorg.o.log iam using the | 11:35 |
| pacy_ | radeon module and the graphiccard iam using is tha ati radeon X1250. Anybody got an idea ? | 11:35 |
| Dannermax | Would it be better to ask my raid5 question in another channel? | 11:35 |
| CatKiller | Dannermax: What did you mean by "mount them"? You want to mount your RAID? | 11:37 |
| CatKiller | Is it assembled? Can you see a "md" device in "cat /proc/partitions"? | 11:37 |
| Dannermax | CatKiller: Yes i want to be able to access my RAID5 from my windows computer, and share folders from it with SAMBA shares | 11:39 |
| CatKiller | Dannermax: Is your RAID mounted? | 11:39 |
| Razkin | How can I make Ubuntu 13.04 look exactly like Mac OS X Lion? I don't like Ubuntu's current theme. | 11:39 |
| ikonia | Razkin: you don't, it's a differet desktop, | 11:40 |
| Dannermax | CatKiller: No, i dont see any nd devices. Only sda, sdb, sdc and so on... | 11:40 |
| CatKiller | Dannermax: How do you know you have a RAID5 then? | 11:40 |
| Razkin | ikonia: are there any themes? | 11:40 |
| ikonia | Razkin: not really no | 11:40 |
| Razkin | ikonia: I'd also like to disable Unity, I want the usual GNOME desktop. | 11:40 |
| ikonia | Razkin: you can install gnome shell | 11:40 |
| Razkin | ikonia: Do I have to make a switch to Ubuntu 9 to get the GNOME? | 11:40 |
| cfhowlett_ | Razkin, there is the gnome-ubuntu version | 11:41 |
| ikonia | Razkin: as ubuntu 9 is EOL and using gnome 2 - that would be unwise, but your choice | 11:41 |
| cfhowlett_ | !gnome | 11:41 |
| ubottu | GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 11:41 |
| Dannermax | CatKiller: TO be honest, i dont know if its mounted. But. I have had the RAID5 working in Openmediavault (debian) and it was mounted and had xfs filesystem. i was told that it would work just fine in another OS.. eg. ubuntu | 11:41 |
| ikonia | the gnome-ubuntu version is just gnome shell and not an official release, | 11:41 |
| cfhowlett_ | ikonia, confuzed I am ... it's an "official" shell? | 11:41 |
| CatKiller | Dannermax: Ok, then "sudo apt-get install mdadm" | 11:42 |
| ikonia | cfhowlett_: sorry, I meant not an official ubuntu release/distribution | 11:42 |
| Dannermax | CatKiller: I have mdadm installed :) | 11:42 |
| k1l_ | i thought the gnomebuntu was official spinoff now | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | then "mdadm --assemble /dev/md_d0 /dev/sd[a-e] | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | Provided the RAID has been created on sda, b, c, d, e | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | sudo that command too | 11:42 |
| ikonia | k1l_: no, it's a shambles | 11:42 |

| Dannermax | CatKiller: ok, but before i do that, can i show you the output of cat /proc/partitions ? | 11:43 |
| ikonia | cfhowlett_: yeah, that's why it's on ubuntugnome.org with people asking for help because they don't have a team | 11:43 |
| ikonia | there isnothing official about it | 11:43 |
| CatKiller | Dannermax: Sure just use bpaste or something | 11:43 |

| CatKiller | so sda, sdb, sdc, sdd | 11:46 |
| Dannermax | CatKiller: ok..perfect! | 11:46 |
| CatKiller | sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sd[a-b] /dev/sd[c-d] | 11:46 |
| CatKiller | if that doesn't work try /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc etc | 11:47 |
| CatKiller | as opposed to /dev/sd[a-b] | 11:47 |
| Dannermax | CatKilelr: SO this should mount the Raid5 1 mountpoint? | 11:47 |
| Dannermax | CatKiller: ahh.. don't understand the command, so just want to be absolutely sure.. :) | 11:47 |
| CatKiller | Won't break anything if you use --assemble | 11:48 |
| Dannermax | CatKiller: ermm.. i mean, so this should mount it as a single mountpoint? | 11:48 |
| CatKiller | Won't mount it | 11:48 |
| CatKiller | it will assemble it | 11:48 |
| CatKiller | then you have to mount it | 11:48 |
| Dannermax | ahh | 11:48 |
| Dannermax | sec | 11:48 |
| CatKiller | it will "create" it | 11:48 |

| ubottu | Dannermax: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett_ | Dannermax, I believe webmin hit the "not recommended list" some time ago. ask in #ubuntu-server | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett_ | !webmin | 11:53 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 11:53 |

| Teleport | using UNetbootin for installing KXstudio 10.4.3 Via Removable USB, Boot says "Invalid or corrupt kernel image", Burned the ISO file to a blank DVD, boot says "No Default or UI configuration directive found!", I've already tried to rename "isolinux" to "syslinux" | 12:21 |
| cynicist | philinux: you can't set it directly since it's not a standalone app, but rather a thunderbird addon. If you want to set thunderbird as your default calendar client see here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76921/how-do-i-set-lightning-as-the-default-calendar-app | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett_ | Teleport, you'll find it easier to install vanilla kubuntu and then add the kxstudio packages | 12:22 |
| Teleport | cfhowlett_ so first Kubuntu then migrate? | 12:22 |
| philinux | cynicist: thanks for that. | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett_ | Teleport, that'd be my recommendation. full details should be on the kxstudio site | 12:23 |
| cynicist | philinux: if you are using google's service for your calendar you can also get integration with the gnome panel date applet by configuring both thunderbird and evolution, since google cal will just sync events between them | 12:23 |

| troulouliou_dev | hi i have a ubuntu server 12.04 32 bits and i would like to upgrade it to 13.04 however do-release-upgrade do not show me any upgrade; | 12:37 |
| Teleport | cfhowlett_ ah same here okay thanks | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett_ | troulouliou_dev, it won't. you can only directly upgrade to 12.10 then to 13.04 | 12:38 |
| makara | i see, not www.vonnieda.org/software/lirc | 12:38 |
| nickVSS | Hello man | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett_ | troulouliou_dev, and since the current release is 13.10, you have to clean install 13.04. do-release-upgrade won't get you there. | 12:39 |
| troulouliou_dev | cfhowlett_, found it i had to edit prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 12:39 |
| cfhowlett_ | troulouliou_dev, so it works now? | 12:39 |
| troulouliou_dev | cfhowlett_, yes it was stick to lts | 12:39 |
| cfhowlett_ | troulouliou_dev, LTS is usually recommended for servers ... | 12:40 |

| troulouliou_dev | OerHeks, ha yes sure, didn't know that | 13:19 |
| troulouliou_dev | i tought intermediate where mandatory | 13:20 |

| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: you can go diurect to 14.04 from 12.04 as it is LTS to LTS and is supported | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: if you wnat 13.10 you will need to upgrade through each release in turn | 13:20 |

| pluesch0r | hi everybody. i'm on ubuntu precise here, got a question concerning the removal of old kernels. | 14:00 |
| cynicist | RebootKidd: http://xchat.org/faq/#q216 | 14:01 |
| pluesch0r | my boxes have been running for a while now and i'd like to remove all kernels that are not being used anymore. i've noticed that /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal is already massaging apt configs to not remove the current and the two latest kernels (via generating /etc/apt//apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels). but how do i actually remove the old kernels? apt-get autoremove doesn't try to dump them. | 14:02 |
| RebootKidd | cynicist thank you for the link but I have tried that and I show perl is running | 14:04 |
| dfcnvt | Nach0z: In my lifetime I've experienced it five time whenever I allow it to upgrade to new kernel / OS's version. | 14:04 |

| chabsgrabs9 | if anyone can help that would be amazing | 14:05 |
| cynicist | pluesch0r: Use 'dpkg -l|grep linux-image-' to list your installed kernels and then you can use 'sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-(version)' to remove the older ones | 14:05 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| cynicist | RebootKidd: then besides reloading it I'm not sure what is going on :\ | 14:07 |
| pluesch0r | cynicist: the idea is to not having to do this manually. i haven't installed any kernels by hand .. but still, they're being listed when i execute apt-mark showmanual | grep linux-image | 14:07 |
| pluesch0r | so .. how do i fix this? | 14:07 |
| Nach0z | ... :| | 14:08 |
| Nach0z | dfcnvt left way too fast | 14:08 |
| pluesch0r | cynicist: when i execute "apt-get autoremove linux-image*" it also lists the kernels explicitly configured as "NeverAutoRemove" in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels | 14:09 |
| cynicist | pluesch0r: I assumed you wanted to remove a kernel manually, afaik ubuntu already has a script that holds back the last 3 installed kernels, that's why apt generated that file to prohibit their removal | 14:12 |
| bamdad | Hi | 14:13 |
| bamdad | What is this path being used for : /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors | 14:13 |
| pluesch0r | cynicist: as i stated before: i see the autoremove prohibit stuff and so on. but when i issue apt-get autoremove, the kernels that should be listed aren't. | 14:13 |
| cynicist | pluesch0r: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 14:13 |
| cfhowlett | pluesch0r, autoremove doesn't remove kernels so far as I know | 14:14 |
| h0m1x | Hi | 14:14 |
| pluesch0r | they've been piling up since linux-image-2.6.32-22-server | 14:14 |
| cfhowlett | h0m1x, greetings | 14:14 |
| yassine_ | hello | 14:14 |
| cfhowlett | pluesch0r, list them and manuall remove em | 14:14 |
| pluesch0r | cfhowlett: how do i autoremove them, then? or .. what's the reason for setting up the whole autoremove apt config shebang in the first place, then? | 14:14 |
| pluesch0r | there has to be a reason for those postinst hooks. | 14:14 |
| h0m1x | I have atheros 9287 wireless driver, now I've installed aircrack on ubuntu which doesn't show me the interface how can I make sure the ubuntu has recognized the wirelesss driver? | 14:14 |
| pluesch0r | according to the bug report i've posted before, it should also be working. | 14:14 |
| pluesch0r | just trying to find out why it isn't working on my side. got 200+ boxes with several gigabytes of unused kernel images clogging the disks. | 14:15 |
| cfhowlett | pluesch0r, again, autoremove kills orphaned programs - NOT essential kernels. dpkg --get selections | grep linux-image | 14:15 |
| h0m1x | Can someone possibly reply? it's urgent. | 14:15 |
| cfhowlett | pluesch0r, then sudo apt-get purge linux-image-*.*.*.8 | 14:16 |
| pluesch0r | cfhowlett: they are listed 'install' | 14:16 |
| cfhowlett | pluesch0r, how many? | 14:16 |
| cfhowlett | pluesch0r, never mind. Personally, I'd recommend you keep the most recent 3. | 14:16 |
| pluesch0r | cfhowlett: 28 | 14:17 |
| cfhowlett | h0m1x, aircrack isn't supported here. sorry. | 14:17 |
| pluesch0r | cfhowlett: that's what i'm trying to do. | 14:17 |
| pluesch0r | cfhowlett: i know that i can just write a script to do this, don't get me wrong. if this was just one box i wouldn't bother. | 14:17 |
| pluesch0r | cfhowlett: but it seems to me that all the mechanisms are in place to keep the two latest + the currently running kernel when issuing 'apt-get autoremove' or god-knows-what-other command. | 14:18 |
| pluesch0r | cfhowlett: otherwise, those kernel versions wouldn't explicitly be listed in the apt configuration. | 14:18 |
| cynicist | pluesch0r: ah I see someone had a similar issue, where his kernels were being marked as manually installed and that caused the apt autoremoval script to ignore them | 14:19 |
| h0m1x | cfhowlett: It's not the matter of aircrack its the matter of the capability of ubuntu to recognize the wireless driver. | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | pluesch0r, I was unware you were scripting. sorry. way over my head. | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | !atheros | 14:19 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 14:19 |
| h0m1x | any wireless driver for the atheros? how can I make sure that the ubuntu has recognized the atheros 9287? | 14:19 |
| cynicist | pluesch0r: his solution was to add a postinstall script to change the flag to automatic so the script would pick them up | 14:19 |
| pluesch0r | cynicist: yeah, that's the link that i posted before. but they were doing some FAI stuff; that's not us. | 14:20 |

| pluesch0r | cynicist: for example, linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic is marked as auto over here. it's still not being autoremoved. it's also not listed as being protected in the apt.conf stuff | 14:21 |
| cfhowlett | OerHeks, netflix dr. who | 14:21 |
| cynicist | pluesch0r: well it was mentioned that it could be an apt bug | 14:21 |
| h0m1x | OerHeks: Cracking is not urgent, having the internet via ubuntu is urgent. | 14:21 |
| pluesch0r | cfhowlett: no worries. scripting would be my last resort. from what i've in the system it seems that this should happen automatically, but it isn't happening. | 14:22 |
| h0m1x | OerHeks: And of course it's none of your damn business! | 14:22 |
| cynicist | pluesch0r: not necessarily related to the FAI stuff | 14:22 |
| pluesch0r | cynicist: we're not using FAI. this is just plain vanilla ubuntu. there are kernel images marked as manually installed, yes .. but there are also some that are being marked as "auto" and that still won't uninstall. | 14:23 |

| sgo11 | Hi, I have two machines. Two have the same ubuntu version and kernel version. I added a module by compiling the kernel in one machine. it's a pen tablet module. it works fine in that machine. Now, I copy the kernel .deb packages to the second machine and install the compiled .deb kernel directly. The module works with a problem. can anyone tell me why? how to fix? do I have to compile the kernel in every m | 14:47 |
| sgo11 | achine for this purpose? thanks. | 14:47 |
| stewbuntu | I tried to install ubuntu dual boot and messed up and installed it over my OS, well the dual boot screen I think called grub 2 was mia, So I added ubuntu to an external hardrive via live cd and booted the external HDD and wala the old windows drive was there so I saved everything I needed to a 2nd external. So, I forgot to take of external #2 and put in my recovery disks to start a fresh windows 7 os and start all over and get ubu | 14:47 |
| stewbuntu | The copy my files. I went to boot windows and realized the external was still connected when it booted ubuntu even after post recovery was done and the 3rd cd popped out. Dooh :( so now I unplug external #1 and try to boot = grub rescue, try recovery cd with bios set to boot cd 1st = grub rescue, every cd including the live cd will not boot and it goes to grub rescue. | 14:48 |
| === cuore is now known as newbie_87D | ||
| stewbuntu | I can always put in the external and boot. The cd's will not boot even with the bios set and external #1 connected. Now that I have the data I just need to get passed this grub rescue screen and get new installations going. How can I get this to work? I think I have layers upon layers messed up now. I did choose the external drive when it asked where to load the ubuntu bootloader with external drive#1 when I saved my data original | 14:49 |
| stewbuntu | drives/partitions when I booted from the external #1 originally | 14:49 |
| newbie_87D | how ! i just downloaded a theme package. how to install it without using the tweak tool | 14:50 |
| Richhh | cynicist any ideas? | 14:50 |
| cynicist | Richhh: yeah, first of all it's your cd drive that is having issues | 14:51 |
| cynicist | Richhh: can't tell if it is a kernel bug/regression, bios, firmware, or cabling but it is one of those | 14:51 |
| stewbuntu | just plugged in an external cd drive | 14:51 |
| stewbuntu | nothing | 14:52 |
| stewbuntu | bios reads it htough | 14:52 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| stewbuntu | though | 14:52 |
| stewbuntu | can i run code from grub rescue line? | 14:52 |
| stewbuntu | can I wipe the boot loader on the internal HDD when booting from the external | 14:54 |
| cynicist | Richhh: my advice would be to use another computer to create a usb boot disk and install from that instead of trying to use a cd | 14:55 |
| stewbuntu | ok I work on that | 14:55 |
| stewbuntu | THANKS | 14:55 |
| Richhh | i didnt check the motherboard caps yet | 14:55 |
| stewbuntu | DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT | 14:56 |
| cynicist | Richhh: I think it's likely some bug affecting your particular cd drive | 14:56 |
| Richhh | has a mobo problem been ruled out? | 14:56 |
| stewbuntu | mobno issue | 14:56 |

| Richhh | cynicist the previous DVD drive did not read the ubuntu disc at all, i replaced with another and it read | 14:56 |
| Richhh | (but with io errors, wasnt sure if they were dvd drive related) | 14:56 |
| cynicist | Richh: could be the data cable to your cd drive, like I said I would just use a usb disk | 14:56 |
| Richhh | ok | 14:56 |
| Richhh | thx | 14:57 |

| odla | it add a launcher to my panel | 14:58 |
| odla | did it install anything else? can i just remove the launcher? | 14:58 |
| cynicist | odla: it's called a web app, basically a launcher on your panel that will open the site directly | 14:58 |
| Pumpkin-_ | win 14 | 14:58 |
| Pumpkin-_ | asfdasfa | 14:58 |

| Celestar | I just upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10. Now gnome/unity is not starting at all. In XFCE4, when starting the appfinder, I get this error: Failed to open window: Did not receive a reply.

| Celestar | What am I doing wrong there... | 14:59 |
| cynicist | odla: no it definitely installed using apt, specifically the unity-webapps-gmail package | 14:59 |
| odla | cynicist: ah | 14:59 |
| cynicist | odla: you can remove it or just remove the launcher, no harm | 15:00 |
| odla | cynicist: thanks | 15:00 |
| cynicist | odla: if you want to disable that functionality just go to firefox preferences > general and uncheck "Prompt integration options for any website" | 15:00 |

| Lockzi | Hello, I am having problems in Ubuntu 13.04 that it tries to mount my CIFS shares in /etc/fstab before the network is up. What's the best way to solve this?

| andyc | Quite annoying but not the end of the world | 15:55 |
| sebas_ | hello all | 15:56 |
| bgardner | andyc: I suppose the "Right Way" would be to make it an upstart job with defined dependencies, but I don't know how to do that. Perhaps you can make a script that says 'sleep 5000; mount -a' and then call that from rc.local (giving it as scriptname&). Comments from others as to how sane this idea is? | 15:57 |
| sebas_ | Is there a way to hide the mouse cursor while typing? I use a Desktop machine and no laptop so I cannot do the touchpad option. | 15:57 |
| optraz | any extra repository for ubuntu? | 15:58 |
| bgardner | andyc: Sorry, that's sleep 5, not sleep 5000. | 15:58 |
| andyc | Actually referring to http://superuser.com/questions/669287/automount-sshfs-using-fstab-without-mount-a, it appears someone with 13.10 is having a similar problem | 15:58 |
| sebas_ | I googled for it for a long time but cannot find anything about hiding mousecursor. I do find a lot about the touchpad option but that's for laptop if I understand correctly. | 15:59 |

| === Guest38175 is now known as sixqx | ||
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: <sorry, i'm on a personal campaign with this right now> blease don't use tty to mean "console/linux console/VT" - a tty is ANY terminal. console or xorg... using the wrong terms for things, makes everyones lives more difficult (in the long run) | 16:12 |
| adamk | fishbrain: It's likely either a problem with your drivers, or a configuration problem with unity. Your Xorg log file will rule out or confirm if it's a video driver issue. | 16:12 |
| fishbrain | it worked fine until i installed fglrx. which didn't work so i removed it. | 16:13 |
| flappy | Starting X via commandline on tty5 gives me the normal-style screen without the top bar. | 16:13 |
| adamk | fishbrain: So, again, pastebin your Xorg log file. | 16:13 |
| === Hexeon|2 is now known as Hexeon | ||

| BvL | sebas_: The auto hiding of the curse is app specific, there is no os wide setting for this | 16:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | fishbrain: how exactly did you install fglrx and how exactly did you remove it? | 16:14 |
| fishbrain | adamk how? :) sorry | 16:14 |
| adamk | fishbrain: again, use pastebinit. | 16:15 |
| fishbrain | hitsujiTMO: install 'sudo apt-get install fglrx' and removed with 'sudo apt-get remove fglrx' | 16:15 |
| BvL | sebas_: thats what it looks like at least | 16:15 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: i "understand" the commonly "tty" is meant as the console on F1 to F6 by default... but this is actually _incorrect_ usage, so, in a way i'm asking what we should "correctly" refer to them as. The options are console, linux console, virtual terminal (vt)... i can't think of any others right now ;) | 16:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | fishbrain: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:16 |

| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: sorry, error, does not compute ;) i'll drop it... for now ;) "echo $TERM" in a console, it return's "linux" 'cause that's what it really is (FYI, linux consoles are "weak", pretty much everyone has given up on them) | 16:19 |

| BvL | symptoms: lightdm usually fails to start on boot up (no gui login), if i switch user or logout there is no gui login, on lightdm fail i get the blinking text courser (" _ ") on the top left | 16:29 |
| Ari-Yang | SuperLag: if you're not even going to game, I do not recommend you installing it | 16:29 |
| fishbrain | hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6416592/ | 16:30 |
| Ari-Yang | SuperLag: you can either try installing it from ubuntu's repos (apt-get install fglrx or apt-get install flgrx-updates) or you can install it from the site, which I don't recommend | 16:30 |
| SuperLag | Ari-Yang: so you're telling me that the open-source radeon driver has better graphics quality than the closed-source driver provided by ATI/AMD? | 16:31 |
| CatKiller | How would that be surprising? | 16:32 |
| Ari-Yang | SuperLag: no, I'm telling you that radeon has superior 2d acceleration compared to fglrx. Are you going to be gaming? | 16:32 |
| Ari-Yang | SuperLag: what card do you have? | 16:32 |
| CatKiller | Team of people motivated to write good code with good reviewing peers write code against team of undermotivated Windows employees from a company that doesn't really care about Linux driver's quality and has a bad reputation about drivers in general | 16:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | fishbrain: can you go back to X and spawn a terminal there (ctrl + alt + t) and try the command in the terminal that way | 16:33 |
| Ari-Yang | SuperLag: fglrx though is better for 3D I guess BUT if you use latest radeon driver and mesa you'll get performance with radeon that rivals fglrx (I know some heavy gamers who have switched over from fglrx to open source radeon) | 16:33 |
| SuperLag | Ari-Yang: currently I have an RV610. I'm switching to an X1300, because of the form factor of the card. (switched from a low-profile system, to a full-sized desktop) | 16:33 |
| adamk | SuperLag: Then the proprietary driver isn't even an option with any recent distribution. | 16:34 |
| fishbrain | hitsujiTMO: yup no error there | 16:34 |
| SuperLag | adamk: why not? | 16:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | fishbrain: relog | 16:34 |

| Ari-Yang | yeah they can.. | 16:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | BluesKaj: ctrl + alt + t is the default for gnome (and unity) . i know he was running unity. | 16:35 |

| fishbrain | hitsujiTMO: thanks :) | 16:36 |
| SuperLag | Ari-Yang: adamk: I'm just having some stuff in Unity perform *really* bad... and my system has a LOT of resources (i7 quad 3.4GHz, 32GB of RAM, SSD) so that this is surprising) | 16:36 |
| adamk | Ari-Yang: Sure, if they downgrade all of Xorg and their kernel. | 16:36 |

| flappy | hitsuj1, any idea on my situation since your fix for fishbrain wirked so well? | 16:43 |
| cynicist | SuperLag: Nothing it's amazing, typing from it now. I just forgot that the new firmware came out months ago and Ubuntu typically updates things with new releases :P | 16:43 |

| Ari-Yang | cynicist: I'm disappointed (better yet disgusted) that ubuntu doesn't have native vdpau support on 13.10 for radeon :/ | 16:44 |
| Ari-Yang | cynicist, flappy, is 13.10 stable? Or have you come across major/minor bugs? | 16:44 |
| cynicist | Ari-Yang: I'm waiting for dpm to have some bugs squashed, maybe when it is enabled by default I'll give it another shot. Running on intel HD4000 graphics atm and the experience is pretty great | 16:44 |

| scottbuckel | Hello, there's a CVE which says it was fixed and released for Ubuntu 12.04. However, if I do an apt-get update/upgrade, I still have the old version of this software (gpg) which has a CVE vulnerability out for the version currently released via apt. Can anyone provide a recommendation? | 16:45 |
| Pici | scottbuckel: which cve? | 16:46 |
| Ari-Yang | cynicist: kernel 3.12 is the kernel to use now for dpm or kernel 3.11.7 | 16:46 |
| cynicist | Ari-Yang: not on my hd6870, for some reason I get a lot of stuttering while window dragging | 16:46 |
| cynicist | Ari-Yang: this is on even kernel 3.12 | 16:46 |
| scottbuckel | Pici: Several, but gnupg for example: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2013/CVE-2013-4242.html But apt-get still has only 1.4.11 | 16:46 |
| ubottu | GnuPG before 1.4.14, and Libgcrypt before 1.5.3 as used in GnuPG 2.0.x and possibly other products, allows local users to obtain private RSA keys via a cache side-channel attack involving the L3 cache, aka Flush+Reload. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-4242) | 16:46 |
| Ari-Yang | cynicist: maybe because you aren't using mesa 10 perhaps? | 16:47 |
| Ari-Yang | not sure... | 16:47 |
| floryn90 | hi everyone | 16:47 |
| cynicist | Ari-Yang: I tried with and without oibaf's ppa | 16:47 |
| Ari-Yang | cynicist: ah, I see..... did you file a bug report? | 16:47 |
| daftykins | floryn90: hi | 16:47 |
| scottbuckel | Pici: Any clue as to why apt doesn't get the latest version that says it was released? | 16:47 |
| floryn90 | i deleted /usr/share/applications/ and now i don't know how to regenerate it :( | 16:48 |
| sl1ck | what's the best cpu-friendly audio player? :) | 16:48 |
| OerHeks | floryn90, time to reinstall i guess | 16:48 |
| Ari-Yang | sl1ck: audacious or mpd (music player daemon) | 16:48 |
| cynicist | Ari-Yang: no, didn't see anything useful in the log files so I decided I would check again later since I saw no other reports on it | 16:48 |
| Ari-Yang | k | 16:48 |
| OerHeks | !best | sl1ck | 16:49 |
| ubottu | sl1ck: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:49 |
| cynicist | Ari-Yang: I'm hoping it's not something specific to my setup, since no one else has mentioned the issue | 16:49 |
| floryn90 | OerHeks: but if i use i live, i can copy that files | 16:49 |
| floryn90 | ?? | 16:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | floryn90: to regenerate you need to reinstall every application that was in there | 16:49 |
| Pici | scottbuckel: The packages were updated, but the version number was not bumped. See http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/gnupg/gnupg_1.4.11-3ubuntu2.4/changelog | 16:49 |
| Ari-Yang | cynicist: I think one of the devs has a hd6000 series card and hasn't had any problems like that at all... | 16:49 |
| Ari-Yang | cynicist: if you want you can state that problem on #radeon channel | 16:49 |
| floryn90 | hitsujiTMO: but if i use i live, i can copy that files | 16:50 |
| sl1ck | OerHeks: I said best CPU-friendly - I reckon it's pretty specific | 16:50 |
| cynicist | Ari-Yang: I'll definitely ask, thanks. I'd prefer to be using my discrete card with a functional dpm | 16:50 |
| Ari-Yang | kk, good luck | 16:50 |
| scottbuckel | Pici: Ugh! That doesn't make sense now, does it? | 16:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | floryn90: the live cd won't have the same software that you have installed. you can always try | 16:50 |
| floryn90 | i haven't installed anything | 16:51 |
| floryn90 | so with the live i can retrieve my desktop files | 16:51 |
| Pici | scottbuckel: Well, they typically apply patches instead of bumping version numbers. There may be more info regarding the CVEs themselves on http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/ if you want to see whether a package was actually affected and changed. | 16:51 |
| OerHeks | sl1ck, still depends on a lot of things, memory, cpu, soundcard | 16:52 |

| cynicist | sl1ck: if the memory is a faster speed yes | 16:58 |
| Nach0z | sl1ck: if you run out of RAM regularly and have to use swap memory, yes | 16:59 |
| sl1ck | cynicist: current ram is 1333 - the max clock speed. | 16:59 |
| cynicist | sl1ck: size won't matter unless you aren't already caching everything you can to RAM | 16:59 |
| sl1ck | no, no caching | 16:59 |
| sl1ck | i don't even a swap partition ;-) | 17:00 |
| sl1ck | (have) | 17:00 |
| cynicist | sl1ck: well linux does caching automatically, so you'll benefit even if you don't do anything in particular | 17:00 |
| CatKiller | And you never run out of RAM? | 17:00 |
| CatKiller | Then you don't need more RAM | 17:00 |

| cynicist | sl1ck: It can actually use less if you have something like noscript that is preventing lots of additional stuff from running | 17:05 |
| sl1ck | cynicist: i can't afford to use noscript, it often seriously impedes functions of normal web sites and can't know which sites are affected which ones aren't | 17:06 |
| sl1ck | stellar addon otherwise | 17:07 |
| SuperLag | Ari-Yang: no output for it | 17:08 |
| cynicist | sl1ck: Yeah I blacklist everything by default and just enable what I know isn't a social media tracker or whatever, it does take some time at the start but you do it once for your favorite sites and it speeds up browsing and reduces memory usage significant in addition to the security benefits | 17:08 |
| sl1ck | my system has ddr3 ram ecc unbuffered, but I don't know if the ECC option is ON. Is there anyway to check if my memory operates ON ECC? | 17:08 |

| Danato | Pici, I thought LFS was jst the name of the website, so probably no | 17:35 |
| cynicist | Kamuela: yeah it may do something like that, I'm just saying it can't do a live resize | 17:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Kamuela: it will ask you to restart windows to perform the resize | 17:35 |
| cynicist | Kamuela: it's just simpler to do it all from a livecd | 17:35 |
| FourFire | gvo: I'm back | 17:36 |
| Danato | Pici, aaah I see your point now | 17:36 |
| gvo | FourFire | 17:36 |
| Kamuela | cynicist, i think hitsujiTMO's thing is that windows will know how to do it more safely than something like gparted. i don't have access to a windows "live cd" although there probably are maintenance ones that can do this | 17:36 |
| Pici | Danato: You can use apt to reinstall something, but chances are it's not going to make much of a difference. | 17:36 |
| gvo | FourFire: I see | 17:36 |
| Kamuela | cynicist, hitsujiTMO in any case, i'll brb i'm gonna see what's up in windoze | 17:36 |

| gvo | FourFire you might not have enough time. | 17:37 |
| quellhorst | anyone have any experience setting up VPNs to sell to the public? | 17:37 |
| FourFire | I can leave my computer running | 17:37 |

| cynicist | SuperLag: a used hd 6870 for like $100, they are one of the best supported/performing discrete cards for the open source radeon driver atm | 17:37 |
| FourFire | if I can set it up to copy over and whatever | 17:38 |
| gvo | It's a multi step process. I'm writing it up now. | 17:38 |
| SuperLag | Ari-Yang: adamk: cynicist: http://amzn.to/1e5VUwA thoughts? | 17:38 |
| Danato | Pici, it was a try, but I already removed it, and now I have to install some power management tool. Now that doesnt seem to be a right one | 17:38 |
| FourFire | ok, thanks, keep in mind that I don't really know any terminal commands so I'll need the exact commands to be used | 17:39 |
| pacy_ | FourFire: for me it sounds like, and correct me if iam wrong, it would probably the best if you make a fresh and clean install of your system after you restored your installed progs via "dpkg --get-selections > installed-software" in a file so you can reinstall it out of the list | 17:39 |
| === dean is now known as dean|away | ||
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, it seems that I have an older error log from X here, which have some funny error messages, I upload that one as well | 17:40 |
| FourFire | pacy_: I don't quite understand, install programs, then clean install? | 17:40 |
| Ari-Yang | SuperLag: better ask for thoughts and opinions for that kind of stuff on #radeon | 17:40 |
| Ari-Yang | good luck | 17:40 |
| gdb | FourFire: He's saying to capture your list of installed software for reference, then reinstall and use that list to remember what needs to be additionally installed. | 17:40 |
| berga | So, being a massive linux newb (I've only dipped my toes as it were, with a few distros) - Could I install the server version of 10.04.4 and then install gnome or whatever from a usb stick? | 17:41 |
| zykotick9 | berga: NOT a good idea. use something with security support! please. | 17:42 |
| berga | argh | 17:42 |
| FourFire | gdb what exactly do I input in the terminal in order to do that? | 17:42 |
| pacy_ | FourFire: the command "dpkg --get-selections > installed-software" creats a list of installed software which you have to safn. afterwars you can restore it with "dpkg --set-selections < installed-software" the you have to execute the command "dselect"... though your settings would be lost | 17:42 |
| kostkon | berga: just don't | 17:42 |
| Ari-Yang | SuperLag: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102933 anyway, again, get advice from #radeon afk | 17:42 |
| FourFire | settings being lost is fine, I can do that easily | 17:42 |
| FourFire | finding all my programs again, not as easy | 17:43 |
| berga | any ideas on what I could do for my offline bitcoinarmory wallet, then? the bundle is for 10.04 =( | 17:43 |
| FourFire | I have to do what once I've input the first command? | 17:43 |
| pacy_ | FourFire: but you have to go through the list and delete everything which was not installed by you.. which should not be that hard.. | 17:43 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, here it comes http://paste.ubuntu.com/6416929/ please check this :-) | 17:44 |
| FourFire | There doesn't seem to be a visible response in the terminal to the dpgk... command | 17:44 |
| Danato | Im remaking the question now, what power management works with ubuntu? I need to install one | 17:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: is this a laptop or desktop? | 17:45 |
| KaoticFire | Does anybody know of any USB wireless NIC's that work out of the box with Ubuntu 12.04 | 17:45 |
| Ari-Yang | Danato: what card do you have? | 17:45 |
| pacy_ | FourFire: Than safe the list somewhere like on an extra stick. make a fresh install with your new partitiontable you would like to have and if its done you can you the second and the third command to resore the programs which remained in the list | 17:45 |
| Ari-Yang | Danato: and what ubuntu version are you on? | 17:45 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, it's a desktop | 17:45 |
| FourFire | where is this list? | 17:45 |
| pacy_ | FourFire: you create it in the folder you are you are using the command | 17:46 |
| Danato | Ari-Yang, Ubuntu 13.10, idk what card are you talking about sorry | 17:46 |
| FourFire | oh | 17:46 |
| Ari-Yang | Danato: graphics card | 17:46 |
| pacy_ | FourFire: i mean it is created by the command | 17:46 |
| FourFire | Oh neat, I found it, thanks | 17:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: is it just the sony tv that you have to connect to the machine or do you have another monitor? | 17:47 |
| FourFire | I also found the one I made yesterday | 17:47 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, most often it works, but sometimes it fails, seems kinda random to me | 17:47 |
| gvo | FourFire take a look at http://fayettedigital.com/howtocopyparts.html | 17:47 |
| Danato | Ari-Yang, its a bit complicated but my laptop comes with 2 cards, jst a sec and ill tell you which ones | 17:47 |
| Ari-Yang | Danato: lspci | grep VGA | 17:47 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, I have two monitors the Sony TV and my Asus monitor | 17:47 |
| Ari-Yang | Danato: type that in terminal... | 17:48 |
| FourFire | gvo can I resize the copy partition later? | 17:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: does the crash happen when just the asus is connected? | 17:48 |
| gvo | Sure, you can remove it and expand the first one. | 17:48 |
| FourFire | neat, thanks a heap | 17:48 |
| Danato | Ari-Yang, ah I thought you wanted to know the models | 17:48 |
| Ari-Yang | Danato: I want to know what graphics cards you have i.e. radeon hd6450 etc. | 17:49 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, well, both monitors is plugged in all the time so far :-) | 17:49 |
| gvo | My demonstration used a 15 Gb partition but yours will have to be bigger. I only had an 80 GB drive to play with. | 17:49 |
| Ari-Yang | Danato: so run that command and tell me | 17:49 |
| pacy_ | gvo: nice work there | 17:49 |
| Danato | Ari-Yang, Nvidia Geforce GT 630M and HD Graphics 4000 | 17:50 |
| gvo | Fourfire read through it before you do anything. The dd step will take a while | 17:50 |
| Danato | Ari-Yang, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 17:50 |
| Danato | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 635M] (rev a1) | 17:50 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, however the only monitor turned on is the Asus, both then it works and then it not works | 17:50 |
| gvo | pacy_: It's kind of what he was asking for yesterday, or at least what I understood him to be asking for. | 17:51 |
| flappy | hah, installing xubuntu-desktop gets me a working DE via manual startx. | 17:51 |
| Ari-Yang | Danato: well maybe the nvidia proprietary driver has power management... open up Software Sources go to the 'Additional Drivers' tab and see if you can select it, if you can apply the changes and reboot (make sure you set the nvidia card as default) afk good luck | 17:51 |
| __marco | what is the default terminal emulator in ubuntu? | 17:52 |
| gvo | FourFire: There may be some typos, especially in the last section that I didn't run. | 17:52 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, I can try to disconnect the Sony TV as a trial to test of course, but, sometimes it takes around 5 reboots for this issue to show up | 17:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: can you try without the sony tv connected at all. there is a lot of errors coming from the sony tv (its falsely reporting its supported modes). | 17:52 |
| cynicist | __marco: gnome-terminal | 17:53 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, okey, BRB :-) | 17:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: also if you do get the black screen, can you then pastebin Xorg.0.log and dmesg again and come back here | 17:53 |
| gvo | FourFire: Remember to change references to /dev/sdd to whatever your device is. | 17:53 |
| zykotick9 | __marco: gnome-terminal | 17:54 |
| Danato | Ari-Yang, thanks | 17:54 |
| FourFire | yes, thanks. | 17:54 |
| nafur | Hey, I updated to 13.10 yesterday and now my network somehow breaks down (when I hibernate or close the lid... I must test some more on this). The nm-applet just tells me "NetworkManager is not running..." then. | 17:55 |
| nafur | Are there any known issues about this? | 17:55 |
| __marco | thanks. Has it always been the default terminal emulator? | 17:56 |
| arityfn | Does anyone knows why my ubuntu system freezes when I try to play video with vlc or any other multimedia player? I am not using the open source drivers. | 17:56 |

| KaoticFire | Does anybody know of any USB wireless NIC's that work out of the box with Ubuntu 12.04 | 18:00 |
| arityfn | yeah, but the open source drivers eats my battery life like theres no tomorrow. | 18:00 |
| adamk | arityfn: Try a different video player and report the lockup to the driver developers. | 18:01 |
| adamk | arityfn: And, of course, make sure you try the latest version of the driver for your GPU. You could also try different versions. | 18:01 |

| PandaMaster | how do I mounta usb mount drive to amount point? | 18:05 |
| nafur | PandaMaster: from the command line? | 18:05 |
| zykotick9 | PandaMaster: if you plug it in, does Gnome not automount it for you? or you want manual instructions? | 18:05 |
| sl1ck | is there any way to remap my keyboard and rearrange some of the functions different keys have? | 18:06 |
| zykotick9 | PandaMaster: do you know the device name? "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" would mount it to /mnt, assuming sdb1 was the device/partition | 18:06 |
| PandaMaster | I'm trying to make a live usb, and UNetbootin says I need to mount my usb thumb drive to a mount point. How do I do tha? | 18:06 |
| gvo | PandaMaster: dmesg | tail would give you a clue as to the device name | 18:07 |

| nafur | sl1ck: yes, look for example here: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Xmodmap | 18:07 |
| gvo | PandaMaster: Is there anything in the drop box in Unetbootin? | 18:07 |

| porron | Hey guys, why your smartphone system is called Ubuntu For Android ? | 18:12 |
| porron | does it need android to run? | 18:12 |
| nafur | Oh, I just found that my bug was already filed... | 18:12 |
| reisio | porron: #ubuntu-touch ? | 18:12 |
| gvo | FourFire: There's a bunch of rules about partition alignment I've never quite figured out. | 18:12 |
| reisio | porron: pretty sure it does, yes | 18:12 |
| popey | porron: you probably want #ubuntu-touch | 18:12 |
| ania________ | hi can u help with 12.04 ........i just try to login ....but it keeps coming back to login screen.....can go into desktop | 18:12 |
| porron | I mean, you raise doubts | 18:12 |
| reisio | it's not so much that GNU/Linux needs Android to run | 18:13 |
| nitronewbie | reisio: would you offer me a channel? | 18:13 |
| porron | because on the "ubuntu touch" page I don't see any reference to android | 18:13 |
| reisio | it's that manufacturers put in place secure boot problems | 18:13 |
| reisio | and withold drivers | 18:13 |
| popey | porron: Ubuntu for Android and Ubuntu Touch are separate things | 18:13 |
| reisio | nitronewbie: #linux | 18:13 |
| porron | oh | 18:13 |
| popey | porron: Ubuntu for Android has not been released yet. | 18:13 |
| reisio | popey: but do they both run on top of Android | 18:13 |
| porron | popey: this is why the names raise doubts | 18:14 |
| nitronewbie | join #linux | 18:14 |
| porron | they are both operating systems for smartphones? | 18:14 |
| popey | porron: Ubuntu Touch (Ubuntu for Phones and Tablets) is the one you have probably read about on the wiki | 18:14 |
| ania________ | hi can u help with 12.04 ........i just try to login ....but it keeps coming back to login screen.....can go into desktop | 18:14 |
| popey | porron: Ubuntu for Android requires Android, Ubuntu Touch does not. | 18:14 |
| reisio | porron: well android runs on more than phones | 18:14 |
| hwilde | hello is anyone familiar with .ssh/config using ProxyCommand and nc to do multiple hops? | 18:14 |

| reisio | popey: really? | 18:14 |
| porron | great popey | 18:14 |
| popey | reisio: yes, really | 18:14 |
| porron | and... Ubuntu touch doesn't need android right? | 18:14 |
| popey | Ubuntu Touch doesn't need android. We use some drivers from Android | 18:14 |
| porron | I mean *won't* need android | 18:14 |
| reisio | popey: is there an install guide for any device, for installing to metal? | 18:15 |
| popey | But that's all. | 18:15 |
| porron | ok great | 18:15 |
| porron | and what about ubuntu for android? | 18:15 |
| popey | reisio: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices | 18:15 |
| popey | porron: Ubuntu for Android has not been released. It's still in development. | 18:15 |
| porron | what is it, what's the difference UbuntuTOuch and WHY has it been done | 18:15 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, Nope, the issue is still there | 18:15 |
| arun | clefebvre: hello clem are u there? | 18:15 |
| porron | I mean, you're developing ubuntu touch, why do you need even ubuntu for android | 18:16 |
| FourFire | oh dear, Ḯm going to PM you gvo, okay? | 18:16 |
| porron | that's what I don't get | 18:16 |
| popey | porron: Ubuntu for Android pre-dates Ubuntu Touch | 18:16 |
| porron | and... | 18:16 |
| porron | ? | 18:16 |
| xangua | !touch | porron popey | 18:16 |
| ubottu | porron popey: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 18:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: post a fresh set of logs: dmesg | pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:16 |
| reisio | porron: so touch is actuall a progression, and not an alternative | 18:16 |
| reisio | not just an* :p | 18:16 |
| reisio | popey: thanks | 18:17 |
| popey | np | 18:17 |
| porron | progression of what? | 18:17 |
| porron | of android? | 18:17 |
| editheraven | @ania : it's because the .xAuthority file is not owned by you | 18:17 |
| popey | Ubuntu for Android has a separate use case than Ubuntu Touch. | 18:17 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6417099/ | 18:17 |
| popey | Probably better to continue this in #ubuntu-touch rather than this support channel. | 18:17 |

| MonkeyDust | µxse | 18:22 |
| MonkeyDust | sebastien__ let's hea it | 18:22 |
| MonkeyDust | hear* | 18:22 |
| ania________ | i can login in terminal everything works well ...but crt alt f7 goes to desktop....where i can see login ....when i login it wont let me see desktop | 18:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: o.O what exactly do you mean. please explain further | 18:23 |
| arityfn | What driver from the AMD site should I download for this card, Radeon HD 7520G? | 18:23 |
| sebastien__ | thx MonkeyDust :) firts of all, are you french? it could make it easier :p | 18:23 |
| MonkeyDust | ania________ ctrl alt f1 shows a command prompt, work from there | 18:23 |
| MonkeyDust | sebastien__ i speak french, but if you want french support, better go to #ubuntu-fr | 18:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: also ls -l /var/log/lightdm | pastebinit | 18:24 |
| ania________ | Moneky ...i am using crt alt f1 shell now.....still | 18:24 |
| === rani is now known as Guest34436 | ||
| sebastien__ | ty MonkeyDust, i'm going there :) have a nice evening | 18:25 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, Well I was suffering from this issue http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/ubuntu-lightdm-black-screen-when-using.html | 18:25 |
| Aleksdem2 | <ania________> startx can't work? | 18:25 |
| Greylocks | ania________: type "start"x on ctrl alt f1 no quotes | 18:26 |
| Greylocks | ania________: sorry "startx" | 18:26 |
| ania________ | u dont get me | 18:26 |
| ania________ | startx works perfect.... | 18:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | ania________: you know the way you're in ctrl+alt+f1 shell. can you go to ctrl+alt+f1 to get a shell? :P Bute really can you pastebin your ~/.xsession-errors | 18:27 |
| ania________ | i can see desktop login screen see calendar choose ....between ubuntu 2d 3d classic but if you try to login it comes back to that screen dont go further | 18:27 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, but the suggested work-around didn't work for me. I atached this lines to /etc/init/lightdm.conf | 18:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Aleksdem2: Greylocks startx is NOT going to work when there's already xorg is already running | 18:27 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, stop on runlevel [016] | 18:28 |
| zteam | respawn | 18:28 |

| FloodBot1 | zteam: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:28 |
| ania________ | hitjiuTMO where is located xsession-errors | 18:28 |
| MonkeyDust | ania________ in ctrl alt f1, type df -h make sure no partition is 100% full, also get rid of obsolete kernels | 18:28 |
| ania________ | df -h 69% use.. | 18:29 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, However I had to remove that workaround, due to to some changes in LightDM (I think) | 18:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | ania________: its in your home. just install pastebinit: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors and just paste the url it generates here | 18:29 |
| zteam | hitsujiTMO, Here is my Lightdm log by the way http://paste.ubuntu.com/6417161/ | 18:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: ahh yeah I remeber that issue with lightdm and ssds. its actaully fixed in 13.10 | 18:30 |
| Zap-W | does anyone know a guide which shows how to get fonts to look almost as crisp as Microsoft or Mac OSX | 18:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log && sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log && sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log | 18:32 |
| reisio | Zap-W: fonts look worse in Microsoft Windows | 18:32 |

| minimalistt | hi folks , why is my 12.04 LTS booting with an orange screen .. i can never see the loading kernel thing .. | 18:35 |
| minimalistt | i'm guessing it must be something with the graphical terminal setting | 18:35 |
| zteam | minimalistt, just press Escape, and u should see it | 18:35 |
| minimalistt | zteam, ok .. but I have disabled the splashscreen .. its not the splash screen .. | 18:36 |
| minimalistt | zteam, lemme check though | 18:36 |
| dustinspringman | 13.10.... mini displayport connected to Vizio TV... worked on 12.04.. not any more..... odd thing is, I see the Viz 26" in "displays"...and I can pull windows over to it... just get no video... | 18:37 |
| maujhsn | gvo How are you today! | 18:37 |
| gvo | maujhsn: Great, how about you? | 18:37 |
| dustinspringman | only thing I've found that might be an issue is xrandr is showing HDMI1 "connected" instead of DP1 (as it should be DP1 for displayport1)... | 18:37 |
| minimalistt | zteam, dosent work :( | 18:37 |
| maujhsn | gvo, I was doing great until about an hour ago! | 18:38 |
| dustinspringman | any ideas on what I can do to make xrandr realize I'm not connected to HDMI1 and am actually plugged into DP1 ? | 18:38 |
| gvo | maujhsn: Sorry | 18:38 |
| minimalistt | zteam, its not a major problem .. just bugs me not to see all the booting text\\ | 18:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | zteam: lots of issues with the greeter. maybe try reinstalling lightdm and greeter. sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm | 18:39 |
| jubale | Is eCrypt data from previous session automatically removed upon new session or are a bunch of sessions kept? | 18:39 |
| maujhsn | gvo, i installed an upgraded version of NVIDIA drivers on my liveUSB, and have now lost the functionality of resizing open or active windows! | 18:39 |
| minimalistt | i think its something to do with # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) | 18:40 |
| minimalistt | #GRUB_TERMINAL=console | 18:40 |

| hitsujiTMO | ania________: can you pastebin the full .xsession-errors file | 18:40 |
| minimalistt | zteam, i think its something to do with # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) | 18:40 |
| minimalistt | zteam, in /etgrub.conf | 18:41 |
| ania________ | how to pastebin ;) | 18:41 |
| gvo | maujhsn: fall back to the previous version. | 18:41 |
| maujhsn | gvo, So what i did was deactived the new drivers and reinstalled the old drivers but still don't have the old default functionality! | 18:41 |
| zteam | minimalistt, yes, there should be some setting for it there | 18:41 |
| ania________ | im in ircii no access to desktop, or web | 18:41 |

| AnthonyUK | is there a way to reset the interfaces file back to default, I didn't realize the change in procedure for a static ip for ubuntu 12.04 | 18:54 |
| AnthonyUK | hence i used a old bookmark for a newer ubuntu | 18:54 |
| padrino | I'm doing a GSmart thing I think | 18:54 |
| padrino | idk really, just fucking about | 18:55 |
| daftykins | AnthonyUK: there's no reason you can't set a static IP in there | 18:55 |
| AnthonyUK | its all messed up | 18:55 |
| === padrino is now known as LitecoinTip | ||
| daftykins | AnthonyUK: can you be more specific? | 18:55 |
| minimalistt | AnthonyUK, just delete the file and it should be regenerated with defaults i guess.. | 18:55 |
| AnthonyUK | minimalistt: cool i will try that | 18:55 |
| minimalistt | AnthonyUK, take a backup though .. just in case | 18:56 |
| AnthonyUK | daftykins: I changed the settings so many times i just ended up wiping it empty | 18:56 |
| AnthonyUK | but when i wiped it the connection gui wouldn't even come up | 18:56 |
| === LitecoinTip is now known as padrino | ||
| daftykins | network-manager? | 18:56 |
| AnthonyUK | yeh | 18:56 |
| AnthonyUK | sorry lol | 18:57 |
| AnthonyUK | brb il try deleting and rebooting | 18:57 |
| === alexander is now known as Guest14750 | ||
| minimalistt | AnthonyUK, incase it fails to regenerate , reconfigure the package .. dpkg reconfigure.. | 18:57 |
| daftykins | AnthonyUK: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6417284/ | 18:57 |
| daftykins | AnthonyUK: something like that would be a decent starting point if what you do now fails | 18:58 |
| daftykins | ania________: do you know what graphics hardware you have? is this a laptop/desktop? | 18:59 |
| zykotick9 | AnthonyUK: i don't think delete and rebooting will recreate it! | 19:00 |
| rostam | Hi accidently I have removed part of a binary pkg installed on my system how can I recover it? thx | 19:01 |
| reisio | rostam: ask apt-file which package provides it | 19:01 |
| reisio | re-install that package | 19:02 |
| daftykins | see i wanted to guess which it was | 19:02 |
| reisio | :p | 19:02 |
| zykotick9 | minimalistt: fyi, there is no package for interfaces! "dpkg -S /etc/network/interfaces" it gets put there during the install. | 19:03 |
| rostam | the pkg is linux-image-3.8.0-29-generic | 19:03 |
| minimalistt | zykotick9, aww | 19:03 |
| utusan | rostam: just re-install it | 19:03 |
| daftykins | rostam: apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.8.0-29-generic | 19:03 |
| rostam | thank you | 19:04 |
| utusan | rostam: but if you removed it by un-installing it won't work re-installing | 19:04 |
| sa__ | how do i install blender, is there a way other than extracting the tar.bz2? that way doesn't show blender in the launcher or lock to launcher | 19:04 |
| daftykins | sa__: have you confirmed it's not an available package to install via the software centre / apt? | 19:05 |
| Nach0z | um | 19:05 |
| Nach0z | sudo apt-get install blender | 19:05 |
| Nach0z | :P | 19:05 |
| rosco_y | Does anyone know how to install libportaudio, I'm trying to compile some sources, and the makefile is complaining that: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lportaudio" | 19:06 |
| padrino | Can anyone tell me what this means?http://i.imgur.com/fdWm8JP.png | 19:07 |
| padrino | http://i.imgur.com/fdWm8JP.png | 19:07 |
| daftykins | rosco_y: apt-cache search lportaudio? :) | 19:07 |
| sa__ | daftykins, Nach0z the software center offers version 2.62, the tar.bz2 from the website is version 2.69 which works way better, for some reason, 2.62 has bugs and crashes | 19:07 |
| rosco_y | daftykins: ty, I didn't think of that :(doh) | 19:08 |
| sa__ | any way to have the newest version installed the way software center does? or can i only ever use the executable if i want to use 2.69 | 19:08 |
| daftykins | sa__: look into finding 2.69 on an APT repo instead perhaps - it'd keep it up to date better than a manual installation | 19:08 |
| utusan | padrino: hardly legible | 19:08 |
| sa__ | daftykins, is that through synaptic package manager? or ubuntu software center? | 19:08 |
| rosco_y | found it, thank you daftykins! | 19:09 |
| daftykins | sa__: both technically | 19:09 |
| SamuelSF | I'm having difficulty getting VMware playing running in Ubuntu 13.10. It tells me that I need Kernel headers 3.8.0-31-generic. But when I run the terminal command sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname - r) it tells me that "Package linux-headers-3.8.0-31 is not available, but is referred to by another package." | 19:09 |
| daftykins | rosco_y: :) | 19:09 |
| SamuelSF | *VMware Player | 19:09 |
| padrino | utusan I'll take another pic | 19:09 |
| daftykins | padrino: yeah thatimage is terrible - do you suspect this hard disk is faulty? | 19:09 |
| padrino | daftykins that my initial thoughts, yes | 19:10 |
| daftykins | SamuelSF: can you paste the single line output of "uname -r" please | 19:10 |
| utusan | SamuelSF: linux-headers-3.8.0-31-generic is the right name | 19:10 |
| padrino | here's new image, a little better: http://i.imgur.com/xhrq24i.png | 19:10 |
| daftykins | padrino: could you look at Disk Utility instead? that should report better status | 19:10 |
| sa__ | daftykins, thanks | 19:11 |
| SamuelSF | You want me to run uname -r and paste the output? | 19:11 |
| daftykins | padrino: hrmm those errors are a little vague, can you run the standard disk utility or perhaps run smartctl in a terminal? | 19:11 |
| daftykins | SamuelSF: es | 19:11 |
| daftykins | *yes | 19:11 |
| utusan | padrino: you might see/try fsck -f /dev/sd?? | 19:11 |
| Nach0z | sa__: you might be able to find a .deb package | 19:12 |
| SamuelSF | 3.8.0-31-generic | 19:12 |
| daftykins | SamuelSF: apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.0-31-generic ? | 19:12 |
| SamuelSF | should I run that as sudo? | 19:12 |
| daftykins | yes | 19:12 |
| padrino | On "identity" page it says "Overall Health Self-Assesment Test: PASSED" | 19:12 |
| padrino | And what do you want me to do to make it more specific as to what the errors are? | 19:13 |
| daftykins | padrino: run some SMART utilities that i'm familiar with, i don't recognise that one | 19:13 |
| padrino | daftykins care to name any? First time I've ever used this so not too familiar with it | 19:13 |
| padrino | I'm using Parted Magic btw | 19:13 |
| daftykins | padrino: is that a live distro? | 19:13 |
| SamuelSF | Package 'linux-headers-3.8.0-31-generic' has no installation candidate | 19:14 |
| padrino | daftykins yeah | 19:14 |
| daftykins | SamuelSF: can you run "sudo apt-get update" then pastebin "apt-cache search linux-headers-3.8.0" ? | 19:14 |
| daftykins | padrino: ah - open a terminal and see if 'smartctl' is installed | 19:15 |
| daftykins | padrino: typically 'smartctl -i /dev/sda' | 19:15 |
| daftykins | hmm, maybe -a actually | 19:15 |
| padrino | I have GSmartControl | 19:16 |
| SamuelSF | daftykins: "apt-cache search linux-headers-3.8.0" does not produce any output | 19:16 |
| daftykins | SamuelSF: ah - that's not good then. perhaps look up how to install headers for your specific version (ubuntu version) | 19:17 |

| kostkon | zetheroo, hmm | 20:22 |
| zetheroo | kostkon: the close button is unreponsive | 20:22 |

| zetheroo | cynicist: ok ... maybe my mirror is rubbish | 20:35 |
| nisstyre | buu: lsmod | grep ^snd | 20:36 |
| nisstyre | see if the correct kernel modules are getting loaded | 20:36 |
| nisstyre | that's why I suggested rebooting btw | 20:36 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: I just ran the executable and a new file created only had -rw-r--r-- | 20:36 |

| zetheroo | cynicist: paste.ubuntu.com/6417747/ | 20:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: That's because you are root. you should not be using root! the umask for users other than root is 0002 ... the umask for root is 0022 | 20:37 |

| buu | nisstyre: And I did like an hour ago =] | 20:38 |
| nisstyre | buu: are you sure the program you're trying to play sound with is configured to use that soundcard? | 20:38 |

| nisstyre | buu: you're saying you have two soundcards right? | 20:43 |
| Richhh | again, invalid system disc | 20:43 |
| buu | Yes | 20:43 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: oh that is fixable, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure update-notifier-common' | 20:43 |
| Semajnad | No hitsujiTMO , as admntekkit01 I did that. | 20:43 |
| nisstyre | because I only see the nvidia one | 20:43 |
| nisstyre | ok | 20:43 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: then try it again | 20:43 |
| zetheroo | ok | 20:43 |

| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: how did you login as admntekkit01? | 20:44 |
| buu | And the nvidia card should have 4+ devices available | 20:44 |
| nisstyre | buu: there could be an issue with the card itself | 20:44 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: through SSH why? | 20:44 |
| nisstyre | buu: or some kernel module isn't getting loaded | 20:44 |
| nisstyre | or there's a bug that's preventing it from getting detected | 20:44 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: try apt-get install --reinstall update-notifier-common | 20:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: if that's the case then MCMA_x86_64 is specifying it's own permissions | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | buu. sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel , then reboot | 20:45 |
| Richhh | guess im just gonna have to exhaust every option on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 20:45 |
| nisstyre | BluesKaj: he has that module loaded | 20:45 |
| nisstyre | BluesKaj: and he rebooted | 20:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: that you don't have control over | 20:45 |
| Richhh | then call it a day if it still hasnt worked | 20:45 |
| buu | BluesKaj: Uh how would modprobe + reboot do anything? | 20:45 |
| zetheroo | E: Internal Error, No file name for update-notifier-common:amd64 | 20:45 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: Why, MCMA creates files with default permissions -rw-r--r-- | 20:45 |
| nisstyre | buu: you might have a busted soundcard | 20:45 |
| buu | both cards suddenly busted? | 20:46 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: if that doesn't work you can fix it in synaptic, Edit > Fix broken packages | 20:46 |
| {-r-} | apt-get install --reinstall update-notifier-common works it just worked for me | 20:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: because the person who wrote it thought it was a good idea | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | load the driver , it's a common intel bug , buu | 20:46 |
| nisstyre | buu: well you're not connecting your audio equipment to the nvidia one are you? | 20:46 |
| buu | nisstyre: I am | 20:46 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: ok will try that | 20:46 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: No I'm saying it creates filers with default permissions, so surely it's not creating the perms itself. | 20:46 |
| nisstyre | buu: then you might have two separate but related issues | 20:46 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: I don't know the equivalent apt command unfortunately | 20:46 |
| fortinux | quit: | 20:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: it can create files with whatever permissions it wants | 20:46 |
| nisstyre | buu: if the intel card is not getting detected at all then I suspect a hardware problem | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | buu. , but you can acarry on trying other things if you wish , it's your call | 20:47 |
| nisstyre | buu: if the nvidia one IS getting detected then the hardware is probably fine | 20:47 |
| nisstyre | but there is some other issue preventing sound from working | 20:47 |
| buu | nisstyre: The nvidia one *isn't* getting properly detected | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | too many cooks anyway | 20:47 |
| nisstyre | buu: by "detected" I mean showing up when you do aplay -l | 20:47 |
| berga | hey haven't installed ubuntu in a long while and I feel I must praise the new installer (as of 12.04) - really love how streamlined everything is | 20:47 |
| nisstyre | buu: also you never pasted the output of lspci, does the intel one show up there? | 20:47 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: http://www.bashguru.com/2010/03/creating-user-group-and-shared.html that looks promising | 20:48 |
| berga | so <2 | 20:48 |
| berga | i spell like someone on valium | 20:48 |
| berga | so apologies | 20:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: that link is exactly what i told you already | 20:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: from the user admntekkit01 what is the output of: umask | 20:49 |

| berga | !rules | 20:51 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 20:51 |
| buu | nisstyre: Yes they both show up in lspci | 20:51 |
| berga | thank you | 20:51 |
| === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers | ||
| nisstyre | buu: then I'm blaming ALSA and/or aplay | 20:52 |
| cynicist | berga: yeah it is still the best installer imo, especially after recently trying the new fedora installer and nearly tearing my hair out | 20:52 |
| berga | cynicist, havent tried fedora since about 2002 | 20:52 |
| berga | i think | 20:52 |
| berga | as a long time windows user I can't understand why they don't start installing while you're inputting localization settings and username | 20:53 |
| berga | just makes everything feel faster | 20:53 |
| nisstyre | buu: I guess purging alsa and reinstalling it might help | 20:53 |
| nisstyre | buu: btw, is the intel card a surround sound card? | 20:54 |
| buu | yes | 20:54 |
| nisstyre | buu: alsa is known to be pretty buggy with surround sound cards, particularly with things like dmix | 20:55 |
| berga | also love that clean map thing where you select your timezone | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | modprobe and reboot should fix the kernel module loading , buu , I'm serious | 20:56 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: 0022 | 20:56 |
| buu | BluesKaj: A) I already tried it B) rebooting wipes out any modprobe | 20:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: and you ssh'd in as admntekkit01? | 20:56 |
| nisstyre | BluesKaj: I don't believe it would, since kernel modules get reloaded on every reboot | 20:56 |
| === Mars is now known as Guest65066 | ||

| morbidick | Hi, has anyone here experimented with displaylink setups? | 20:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: then you've changed the default umask | 20:58 |
| morbidick | i got the green screen working but from there on nothing else :/ | 20:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: where did you change it? | 20:59 |
| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: I don't know, how can I change it back? | 21:00 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: Is that specific to just that user then? | 21:00 |
| buu | If I boot ubuntu from a livecd it finds all my sound cards. | 21:01 |
| buu | Boy that's annoying. | 21:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: depends on where you've changed it. there's about 500 different ways you can change the default umask | 21:01 |
| nisstyre | buu: which is evidence that your alsa install is the problem | 21:01 |
| buu | nisstyre: Yeah.. | 21:01 |
| buu | I'm unsure how to reinstall it though? | 21:01 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO, is it possible to restore ubuntu's default drivers? | 21:01 |
| nisstyre | buu: purge it | 21:01 |
| nisstyre | that will delete all configs and stuff | 21:02 |
| nisstyre | and then reinstalling it will create fresh ones | 21:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: drivers for what? | 21:02 |
| buu | just purge alsa? | 21:02 |
| nisstyre | yeah | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | nisstyre. well, it usualy works, but if the ctrls arent setup correctly and pavucontrol outputs aren't set , then whether the kernel module loads or not is immaterial | 21:02 |
| buu | Which specific package | 21:02 |
| nisstyre | I can't remember offhand and I'm on an Arch machine atm | 21:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: for graffics? | 21:02 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO, I need my power management back, and graphics started acting weird, like the transparency of my terminal is gone | 21:03 |
| cm-t | hi, I am looking for an ubuntu themed template for libreOffice impress ( something more updated than http://spreadubuntu.org/en/material/presentation/ubuntu-new-template please) | 21:04 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO, maybe it only affects the graphics | 21:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: if its graphics drivers then removing the proprietary driver brings it back to the original | 21:04 |
| zetheroo | nothing I do is getting this flashplugin-installer installed ... | 21:05 |
| cynicist | Danato: which driver do you want to restore? Is it for amd/ati graphics? | 21:05 |
| Danato | cynicist, intel and nvidia | 21:05 |
| === Ryxai is now known as Guest99100 | ||
| Danato | hitsujiTMO, i ddnt have a proprietary driver till a moment ago, when i installed Nvidia drivers but it ddnt solve anything | 21:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: what way did you install it? through apt-get ? | 21:07 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO, i went to nvidia's website and downloaded the driver for my card | 21:07 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: the problem is update-notifier-common, it's a dependency of flashplugin-installer | 21:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: ahhh ... not sure how to remove that then. there should be instructions with the download | 21:08 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO, the problem is that earlier i removed and purged the power management (big mistake) and i cant get it back | 21:08 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: did you try apt-get -f update-notifier-common? | 21:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: can you pastebin the output of: dpkg --get-selections | 21:09 |
| zetheroo | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 21:09 |
| Danato | cynicist, E: Invalid operation update-notifier-common | 21:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | zetheroo: run: sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install && sudo dpkg --configure -a | 21:10 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: run that :) | 21:10 |
| zetheroo | so then I do "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and then get stuck at the flashplugin-installer issue again | 21:11 |

| hitsujiTMO | Danato: use pastebinit | 21:11 |

| Engin | what is the recommended web server for ubuntu nowadays? still apache? I need to run PHP on it. apache2-mpm-prefork (default) is vulnerable to fork bombs, apcahe2-mpm-[event|worker] requires PHP CGI at least. So I think it is ugly. | 21:15 |
| reisio | Engin: nginx | 21:15 |
| reisio | but PHP isn't recommended :p | 21:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: hmm. i guess your setup has gotten into a very mess state | 21:15 |
| reisio | PHP is just plain vulnerable | 21:15 |
| Engin | php is shit yes but it is required for now so... | 21:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | reisio: php isn't vulnerable, just all the apps written for it :P | 21:16 |
| MonkeyDust | like android ;-) | 21:16 |
| reisio | hitsujiTMO: it's both | 21:16 |
| reisio | Engin: cgi is good | 21:16 |

| kiwi_ | are there any reasons for using 32 bit instead 64 bit on recent systems (i3 and above)? | 21:18 |
| reisio | kiwi_: none | 21:18 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO, is there some kind of system restore? I really wouldnt mind, i have nothing important here. The most important thing is the script that you made so i could login with backlight | 21:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | kiwi: lack of ram is the only reason | 21:18 |
| kiwi_ | ok, thx | 21:18 |
| cynicist | kiwi_: no | 21:18 |
| * reisio headdesks | 21:19 | |
| kiwi_ | reisio, i havent dealt with hardware issues for a long time. i was happy with my t61 thinkpad until today | 21:19 |

| BoomerBile | i'm peeking around another window saw you headdesk | 21:20 |
| kiwi_ | cynicist. ok | 21:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | kiwi_: theres a small extra overhead cost in ram for 64bit over 32bit so if you're extremely tight on ram, 32bit can save you a small amount BUT at a cost of reduced processing speed. | 21:21 |

| morbidick | hi, is there any possibility to install xserver-xorg-video-displaylink without compiling it from source in 13.10? | 21:23 |
| berga | my virtual hdd is 32 gigs | 21:23 |
| berga | 512 ram | 21:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | kiwi_: when i said tight i meant like <512MB tight. you're not gonna notice the ram usage difference with 4gb, but you might notice the speed difference so yeah, defo 64bit :p | 21:24 |
| kiwi_ | ok | 21:24 |
| berga | and its 32 bit | 21:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: try installing gnome-power-manager to get your power manager back | 21:25 |
| Kamuela | cynicist: my boot directory isn't empty, but there are no mod files in it. just fonts/grubenv/etc | 21:26 |
| kiwi_ | i'm thinking about installing virtualbox for installing twice ubuntu, one for normal tasks and one for 'high security' task. what performancecost do i have to expect, running two ubuntus simultanously? | 21:26 |
| berga | I'm no expert but have some extra cores and ram | 21:26 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO, thats great! but i guess i should reboot | 21:27 |
| Kamuela | cynicist: I think I figured it out, I'll brb either with more problems or with news of success | 21:27 |
| zetheroo | after everything this is still as far as I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6418023/ | 21:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Kamuela: boot the live cd and try this https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCwQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.ubuntu.com%2Fcommunity%2FBoot-Repair&ei=LUCFUtDcIvKw7Aau84GQBg&usg=AFQjCNF2vJ-XPgGloXrPuZess9mOE6ou2A&bvm=bv.56343320,d.ZGU | 21:27 |
| Danato | brb | 21:27 |
| cynicist | Kamuela: you have to update grub since you changed stuff related to your partitions | 21:28 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: that's good, you no longer have that error at least | 21:28 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: yeah - but it just sits there ... back to square one | 21:29 |
| zetheroo | if I do CTRL-C I will get the same error as before ... | 21:29 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: yeah just give it some time, if it doesn't work you can always install flash manually at least | 21:30 |
| kiwi_ | berga, whats your opinion about virtualbox, overall? | 21:30 |
| sdfs | Helloo | 21:31 |
| sdfs | hi | 21:31 |
| berga | kiwi_, I haven't used it a whole lot to be perfectly honest, but I find it can be useful to sorta plan your future install | 21:31 |
| berga | for example I'm planning a reinstall of arch, which I stupidly dual booted with no planning the first time | 21:32 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: how to install manually? | 21:32 |
| kiwi_ | berga, did it slow down your system significantly? | 21:32 |
| berga | so I had to wipe it because I bloated it | 21:32 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: I extracted the tar.gz ... | 21:32 |
| berga | meh not so much but I don't run any servers or anything | 21:32 |
| kiwi_ | ok | 21:33 |
| berga | kiwi_, just fire it up when I'm in the mood | 21:33 |
| kiwi_ | yep | 21:33 |
| berga | I'm sort of a casual/lazy nerd | 21:33 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: I mean all that package does is download that archive and then extract libflashplayer.so and copy it to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so | 21:33 |
| berga | settling for windows since it works but always been really interested in the FOSS scene | 21:34 |
| berga | plus you can make linux look a lot more sexy than you can winblows | 21:34 |
| Kamuela | cynicist: still in grub rescue, used windows 8 boot disk to make windows 8 active again and i'm in windows 8. what _could_ be my issues? | 21:34 |
| berga | not a comp-sci major or anything even close, just a novice enthusiast | 21:35 |
| kiwi_ | berga, do two virtualbox instances share the same ip or can you make the look like two completely different machines to the web? | 21:35 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: ok I copied it there | 21:35 |
| berga | kiwi_, that I do not know. I would expect they share an external IP in you have router, but internal IP I cannot say | 21:36 |
| berga | I only ever ran one instance | 21:36 |
| kiwi_ | ok | 21:36 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: now you can restart firefox and check about:plugins to see if it found it | 21:36 |
| Kamuela | cynicist: i've checked all disks for errors in gparted, no problems, my current layout is 1 hard disk, /sda1(win8 reserved) /sda2(win 8 ntfs) /sda3(/) /sda4->/sda5(logical /home) | 21:36 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: Thank you for your help, in the end I've decided to just have a master tekkit01 that all managers log into to use SFTP. Quick question, how can I give someone SSH access to their chroot directory? At the moment the putty window just closes when they try to login to SSH | 21:36 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: nope it doesn't see to have | 21:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Semajnad: that i don't know i'm afraid | 21:37 |
| Semajnad | hitsujiTMO: Okay :) | 21:37 |
| Kamuela | cynicist: i've always had grub on /dev/sda2 and used windows to make active, with the new windows install it created a new partition that bumped everything down by 1 number on the sda list. i think that's where the massive issues are coming in | 21:37 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: copy the so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 21:37 |
| UrielVigilant | Some one can help me to figure out, what it is GNUstep, and why after remove and purge, on reboot or terminat, ubuntu 13.10 says that " Stopping GNUstep... cant find directory ... xxxxx/xxxx//////////////////////.. | 21:38 |
| Kamuela | cynicist: basically my disk layout changed a lot, and i think grub needs to be properly reinstalled and reconfigured. update-grub and grub-install don't seem to be working out for me i dunno. | 21:39 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: ok!! It's working in Firefox now :D | 21:39 |
| cynicist | Kamuela: yep, which is why I linked for you how to update grub | 21:39 |
| berga | kiwi_, just for perspective I'm running on an old intel dual core with 4G ram and it seems to do the job for a single vbox instance | 21:39 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: would you know how to get it working in Chromium? | 21:39 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: hehe the old school way, glad it worked out :) | 21:39 |
| Kamuela | cynicist: did that guide, still had the same boot rescue. boot rescue means that GRUB is working, right? i mean it's called grub boot. it just doesn't know its config files? | 21:40 |
| berga | perhaps a tad slow as it's configured to use only one of the cores as well as 512 meg ram | 21:40 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: nevermind ... it working in Chromium too ;) | 21:40 |
| zetheroo | cynicist: thanks a million! | 21:40 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: yeah chromium checks there too | 21:40 |
| cynicist | zetheroo: np man :) | 21:40 |

| === Mars is now known as Guest4553 | ||
| cynicist | hylian: install system-config-samba and use that to configure the share | 21:43 |
| cynicist | hylian: it's graphical | 21:44 |
| berga | kiwi_, well as my host os is windows I can just use add/remove programs | 21:44 |
| hylian | cynicist: did that, the other machine will not connect to it no matter what. i used gigolo, maybe i need somehting else? | 21:44 |
| berga | kiwi_, no idea how to do it on linux tbh | 21:44 |
| berga | basically its just an app | 21:44 |
| berga | in which you can run an OS iso you download from ubuntu.com or wherever | 21:45 |
| berga | like an emulator you could say | 21:45 |
| kiwi_ | berga, the host is windows ... ok thats completely different game | 21:45 |
| kamuela | cynicist, ok i'm back, would you mind linking that guide one more time? i remember the gist of it but not exactly how to get everything mounted perfectly | 21:45 |
| cynicist | hylian: can't you just navigate to the share? | 21:45 |
| berga | kiwi_, ah sorry then, wasted a bit of your time there | 21:45 |
| kiwi_ | gotta go, bye ... | 21:46 |
| kiwi_ | no problem | 21:46 |
| hylian | cynicist: but how, what app? what cli command?? | 21:46 |
| cynicist | kamuela: sure thing, the key is you need to mount the right partition and chroot into it to make it work | 21:46 |
| cynicist | kamuela: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145241/how-do-i-run-update-grub-from-a-livecd | 21:46 |
| berga | i'm afk now, any text with my name will be saved, byebye | 21:46 |
| cynicist | hylian: what OS are you using to browse the share? ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| em | hylian: ssh and rsync are the best way to transfer files between any two linux oses | 21:47 |
| hylian | cynicist: both machines are running xubuntu 12.04.3 64 bit | 21:48 |
| em | hylian: nautilus has a graphical file browser that can connect to servers and copy files | 21:48 |
| hylian | em: so is rsync a samba app, or another protocol? | 21:48 |
| cynicist | hylian: just use thunar like nautilus | 21:48 |
| cynicist | hylian: click browse network and find the share from there | 21:49 |
| em | rsync is a standalone program, yeah its a command line, but its easer to learn that then to learn how to configure a samba server | 21:49 |
| kamuela | cynicist, how would i alter this list of steps to simply reinstall grub to /dev/sda3? | 21:49 |
| hylian | cynicist: it just showed up... wowsa, i have some serious lag. thanks! | 21:49 |
| cynicist | hylian: np :) | 21:49 |

| Neoromantique | Should I be worried about it? | 21:50 |
| Danato | so how can i reset my ubuntu to default? all fresh new again? | 21:50 |
| reisio | Danato: which aspect? | 21:51 |
| cynicist | kamuela: where it says 'sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt', change /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda3 (assuming that is your / partition) | 21:51 |
| Danato | reisio, every packages, settings, etc. I dont care what goes with it | 21:51 |
| Danato | reisio, oh yeah and drivers | 21:52 |
| imanc | I'm having major issues with my laptop which is running Ubuntu 12.04 and Cinamon (via a ppm). All of a sudden it intermittently fails to boot, hanging on the ubuntu load screen. And when I run recovery and try to run fsck it exists with status 1 when attempting to check /home. I can't see anything in particular in the logs... | 21:52 |
| reisio | Danato: ah, well the most time conscious way would probably be to just reinstall, but | 21:52 |
| reisio | Danato: why would you want to? | 21:52 |
| cynicist | kamuela: then follow every step but ignore the bit that says, 'sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/boot' | 21:53 |
| em | imanc: sounds like a serious disk error, boot a live cd and then run fsck | 21:53 |
| Danato | reisio, I realized that ive been spending too much time fixing little important things that i broke, it takes way more time and effort to get them back than doing an installation | 21:53 |
| imanc | em: OK, makes sense thanks | 21:54 |
| Danato | reisio, it wasnt all bad though, i learned a lot hehehe | 21:54 |
| em | when jack is running then regular apps such as "play foo.wav" don't work, they freeze.

| OPTIMUS_ | I've managed to mess up my ubuntu 12.04 setup by uninstalling a few packages. I cannot log-in through the GUI anymore, I get "unable to load session 'ubuntu'.

| kamuela | cynicist, instead of update-grub can i do grub-install? | 21:56 |
| jhutchins_wk | Ah well. Upgrade experiment unsucessful. Nither going 2G -> 4G of RAM nor an Intel PCI Pro1000 NIC got me any more than 425M down. | 21:56 |
| jhutchins_wk | And oops, not the channel I thought I was in, sorry. | 21:56 |
| em | Danato: OPTIMUS_: one approach to getting a healty system is to copy the same os from another computer or partition. you must be using a live cd at the time. | 21:57 |

| troulouliou_dev | hi is it possible to shutdown network-manager as in 13.04 now ? | 22:13 |
| troulouliou_dev | is seems that it isn't a service anymore | 22:13 |
| kamuela | cynicist, installing it to the whole disk will break things pretty badly | 22:13 |
| kamuela | cynicist, i've always installed it to my /boot partition and then used windows to make that partition the active one | 22:14 |
| wilee-nilee | troulouliou_dev, I can in the shell, look closer I would say. | 22:14 |
| troulouliou_dev | wilee-nilee, service network-manager stop don't work anymore | 22:14 |

| wilee-nilee | Waka_Flocka, Do you have lm-sensors installed | 22:15 |
| troulouliou_dev | but this one close the session | 22:15 |
| Waka_Flocka | yes i do | 22:15 |
| cynicist | troulouliou_dev: sudo stop network-manager | 22:15 |
| kamuela | cynicist, http://pastebin.com/XJ6N5tQX what does that mean? | 22:15 |
| Waka_Flocka | ive rescanned several times with sudo sensors-detect too | 22:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | kamuela: you DO NOT install a bootstrap to a partition. you install it to the disk. installing it to a partition can break the filesystem in that partition | 22:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Waka_Flocka, use nicks if you can, you can tab complete them, did you run the lm-senors cli? | 22:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Waka_Flocka, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 22:16 |
| Waka_Flocka | wilee-nilee: yeah it cant even find lm-sensors cli | 22:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Waka_Flocka, Take a look at the link I mean this, sudo sensors-detect | 22:17 |
| cynicist | kamuela: you should either install grub to your mbr (/dev/sda not /dev/sda3) and let it automagically handle things or you need to configure your windows bootloader to recognize your ubuntu install | 22:17 |
| spike_ | hi | 22:17 |

| cynicist | kamuela: if you let windows manage the boot order then all you did was confuse grub, which means you need to run update-grub from the chrooted ubuntu environment and that's it | 22:20 |

| cynicist | kamuela: well first, did you try update-grub and what was the output? | 22:23 |
| kamuela | cynicist, update grub from within chroot? | 22:24 |
| cynicist | kamuela: yes, because if that works there is no need to install it to the disk | 22:24 |
| troulouliou_dev | ahoneybun_, just add this to the end of the smb.conf and set valid users to the user created with smbpasswd | 22:24 |
| troulouliou_dev | ahoneybun_, should work then | 22:24 |
| troulouliou_dev | ahoneybun_, nautiluls share add the same in /var/lib/samba/shares | 22:25 |

| johnflux_ | ss_haze: your english is impossible to read | 23:14 |
| ss_haze | maybe cause you can't read | 23:15 |
| johnflux_ | ss_haze: probably, sorry | 23:15 |
| cynicist | ss_haze: I'm still not sure what issue you are having, you say you are seeing things from a graphical environment but you can't log into a session | 23:15 |
| berga | I can't read it either | 23:15 |
| ss_haze | OK, so what's the answer | 23:15 |
| ikonia | ss_haze: again stop it, your English is not great, it is hard for people to read, which is why I asked you to clam down, please don't try to be rude to people | 23:15 |
| cynicist | ss_haze: and now you are asking about how to launch quassel from a terminal... | 23:15 |
| berga | but I'm swedish so that's my excuse | 23:15 |
| ss_haze | RM /TMP/X-0.lock | 23:16 |

| ss_haze | and it doesn't starts graphical environment FROM TTY | 23:16 |
| ss_haze | ALT-CRTL-F1 | 23:16 |

| rmah | hello, I just upgraded a server to 13.10 saucy and now my dropbox doesn't work. I have version 2.4.7 of dropbox (or at least that's what the VERSION file says) | 23:21 |
| salah | Hi again, I just found out that the constant sound beeps are also higher when I mouse the mouse. And at the same time the CPU jumps to over 40 % usage! This is a i7-3770K with Corsair AX 1200W power supply! | 23:21 |
| rmah | and there's no http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy distro | 23:21 |
| rmah | anyone know what's up? | 23:21 |
| === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers | ||
| ikonia | rmah: you'd have to ask dropbox - it's their repo | 23:24 |

| rampageRipper | the Atril thumbnailer heavily burdens the cpu.what can b done? | 23:25 |
| edoceo | I'm on 10.04 and just did an update, then update-initramfs runs but I get Permission Denied errors on /tmp/mkinitramfs_aRlU7k/ files | 23:27 |
| edoceo | Does that mean it failed to make a good initramfs? and I'll fail if I try to reboot? | 23:28 |
| === Sh4d0w is now known as D3M | ||

| whoever | edoceo: yes | 23:29 |
| === danato is now known as Danato | ||
| edoceo | whoever: is that because my /tmp is set noexec,nodev and such? | 23:29 |
| rampageRipper | what's wrong? | 23:35 |
| cubahero | anyone know what local firewalls AWS has enabled for ubuntu precise instances? I added security groups to my instance for port 8080 and I can see requests are making it the machine (via tcpdump) | 23:36 |
| cubahero | i also disabled iptables and ufw.... | 23:36 |
| daftykins | cubahero: disabled how? | 23:38 |
| cubahero | ufw disable | 23:38 |
| cubahero | status shows inactive | 23:38 |
| daftykins | do an "iptables -F" and "iptables -X" anyway | 23:38 |
| cubahero | yep | 23:38 |
| whoever | edoceo: i did 't see that you said that but just the word faile in building an image usually will mean you will have a problem booting | 23:39 |
| cubahero | did that too | 23:39 |
| daftykins | then iptables -L should be blank | 23:39 |
| daftykins | past that, check any IPs for typos | 23:39 |
| edoceo | whoever: it's odd that as root I cannot run this | 23:39 |
| cubahero | I'm hitting the server | 23:39 |
| cubahero | but requests aren't being connected to the applicatoin listening on 8080 | 23:39 |
| edoceo | When I try update-initramfs again it still gives that error | 23:39 |
| whoever | edoceo: intramfs is used in the booting process, you will need to correct the permissions and re build it | 23:40 |
| edoceo | The directory it makes has nice permissions: drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4.0K 2013-11-14 18:38 mkinitramfs_pr4FDX | 23:40 |
| whoever | edoceo: yes it is | 23:40 |
| cdsa21 | hi | 23:40 |
| daftykins | cubahero: "netstat -tuln" confirms it definitely is on 8080? | 23:40 |
| apofis | hi | 23:40 |
| edoceo | Same perms on the scripts/ directory in there, but none of the files in scripts/ get created :( | 23:40 |
| whoever | edoceo: don't know why you are rolling your own kernel on ubuntu, that is ususally done on arch or gentoo | 23:40 |
| cubahero | daftykins: https://gist.github.com/dkullmann/2b1d0c94c662e17a4137 | 23:41 |
| edoceo | I'm not rolling my own, this failure happend after a simple apt-get upgrade | 23:41 |
| cubahero | daftykins: yep - local telnet works and checked with lsof -i :8080 (similar to netstat) | 23:41 |
| whoever | edoceo: well most people don't attempt it on ubuntu is a better way to word t | 23:41 |
| whoever | *it | 23:41 |
| cubahero | daftykins: (netstat confirmed as well) | 23:41 |
| daftykins | cubahero: that is very odd - what's the service? | 23:41 |
| cubahero | daftykins: rethinkdb | 23:42 |
| whoever | edoceo: anyway if you still need my help, ill be back in a few hours | 23:42 |
| edoceo | whoever: this isn't a roll-your-own situation, this thing is all stock, the failures happend from apt-get upgrade | 23:42 |
| daftykins | cubahero: is it bound to the correct interface(s) ? | 23:42 |
| edoceo | I don't, thanks anyway | 23:42 |
| cubahero | ubuntu precise machine | 23:42 |
| cubahero | daftykins: good question | 23:42 |
| daftykins | to the configurator! :) | 23:42 |
| cubahero | un momento por favor | 23:42 |
| whoever | edoceo: that is odd, do you have an image that you can go back to and try to update again or just re run the update | 23:43 |
| edoceo | update-initramfs script fails, because it cannot write to the tmp directories it creates | 23:43 |
| cubahero | daftykins: +1 fixed gracias | 23:43 |
| edoceo | with or without apt-get invoking it | 23:43 |
| edoceo | If I remount /tmp and disable the noexec,nosuid,nodev options the update-initramfs works. | 23:45 |
| kiwi_ | hi... i'm just installing ubuntu on my new laptop. i used to make seperate partitions for /boot, /home and / .... besides i used to have a swap partition. however, nowadays i think thats not necessary anymore ... no swap and no seperate /boot partition ... just / and /home is fine .... what do you think? | 23:46 |

| Danato | can anybody answer kiwi_'s question? Im also interested :) | 23:51 |
| nd456 | channel | 23:52 |
| Danato | nd456, tv | 23:52 |
| nd456 | Can anyone help me getting my wireless card working? | 23:53 |
| pero | Danato, kiwi_: personally i do partitions for / /boot /home and swap | 23:53 |
| pero | i like to keep /boot separate just to further compartmentalize it from any fuckups i may do, and keep my machine bootable | 23:54 |
| berga | still on my ubuntu virtualbox problem... vbox itself recommended at least 8gb vhd but I increased to 32GB so that can't be the problem, right? I also disabled networking before starting the vm (since it's supposed to simulate an offline laptop) but the Copying files process is still taking quite a while to complete. Figured it would be a bit quicker for some reason. Am I just being impatient, | 23:54 |
| berga | or have I done something wrong? Anyone with experience have any idea? My host OS is windows 7 64bit (the vm is 32bt tho) | 23:54 |
| edoceo | kiwi_: I still make partitions for /boot, swap, /home / and sometimes /var | 23:54 |
| kiwi_ | pero, the seperate /boot was necessary in the old days because of 1024 cylinder restriction | 23:54 |
| kiwi_ | besides i never experienced any practical advantage | 23:55 |
| pero | i don't do it because it's necessary, i do it because i feel it prudent to keep my bootloader on a separate parittion | 23:55 |
| kiwi_ | yes | 23:55 |
| OrIWillChecklogs | In Ubuntu 13.10-Saucy I find that I am using "Gnome Flashback" Desktop Environment .. Where is this package in Launchpad ?? & is it developed apon of late ? | 23:55 |
| nd456 | Can anyone help me getting my wireless card working? | 23:56 |
| k1l | actually for some encryption setups you need a extra /boot partition | 23:56 |
| pero | to me, it's a logical distinction/separation of duties and partitions | 23:56 |
| pero | if boot is separate from the rest of the system, why would i keep it on the same partition | 23:56 |
| berga | I guess I'll just leave it over night and see what happens | 23:57 |
| kiwi_ | edoceo, thats what i did, except for /var | 23:57 |
| kiwi_ | ok, everybody still uses swap | 23:57 |
| edoceo | I usually only do /var on servers, so if logs or /var/tmp get full other things will still be OK | 23:57 |
| k1l | OrIWillChecklogs: yes, gnome continous the old-gnome-look desktop. the name is gnome-panel | 23:58 |
| edoceo | kiwi_: special case, on my desktop 16G ram I don't to swap - I just let programs crash | 23:58 |
| kiwi_ | then ... i might also stay with my old partition scheme | 23:58 |
| OrIWillChecklogs | thanx . | 23:58 |
| Corvaxia | I have a silly question. Since both PS4 and XBox One are now X86 based with processors manufactured by AMD what is the likelihood of an Ubunutu or SteamOS install being developed for the consoles? | 23:58 |
| Corvaxia | heheh Ubunutu. Ubuntu* | 23:59 |
| k1l | Corvaxia: those boxed dont allow other linuxes to be installed. so that is not on the ubuntu side to be decided | 23:59 |
| ikonia | Corvaxia: zero | 23:59 |
