[00:00] I was under the impression valve would be releasing a sort of steambox along with the OS, which would essentially be a PC but with the simplicity of a console [00:00] darn. I didn't expect it to work but I still had a glimmer of hope. [00:01] Berga: They are developing a linux based OS/Steam application for prebuilt or custom built PC's. [00:01] maybe that's not what you where asking though, my state of mind is not 100% [00:01] Eh, I appreciate the input regardless. [00:01] ya that't what I meant, I guess you where talking about maybe replacing xbox OS with steam OS or something? [00:02] yes [00:02] steam is not gpoing to release boxes (besides the test boxes for beta testers). they just focus on the OS. but that is quite too much offtopic for a ubuntu support channel. better suits into #ubuntu-offtopic [00:02] no idea then =) [00:02] Xbone is going to run 3 os [00:02] really exceted for steam os though, i gotta say [00:02] hi i need sshd for ubuntu 6.10. which package do i need to use? [00:02] ~~~Can anyone help me getting my wireless card working? [00:02] been trying to switch 100% to linux but so many games won't run well in wine [00:02] good night ... yawn [00:03] hi I'm trying to help a friend. almost a year back I gave him ubntu 12.04. I personally use 13.10 and very tempted to upgrade him. he asked me to help him out after he forgot his password. fixed that issue. but now I am facing a different problem. the old 12.04 unity is so slow when scroling it up and down. can some one show me a way to speed up its reaction speed? [00:04] v3n0mDr0p, what driver is loading with X [00:04] forgot his password :) sounds like he is not using his ubuntu box too often :) [00:04] fobelx: i dont think you want to use ubuntu 06.10 [00:05] kll maybe he has a pre-historic computer [00:05] k1l: i need to but what would the package be named in any case? [00:05] Safety_Dance, I don't know. I'm trying to look for it now [00:05] maybe so but those repos are long gone he will have to compile i think [00:06] Danato: that is no excuse. that packages dont get any updates and the ssh package got safty issues you learn in primary school today [00:06] /var/log/Xorg.log check in there v3 [00:06] /var/log/Xorg.log check in there v3n0mDr0p [00:07] Safety_Dance, I went to system settings, details. intel 945gm x86/mmx/se2 [00:07] This is driving me crazy. I have mounted a share at this path: mnt/nas but my problem is when i use Utorrent and i ad a torrent, it tells me: "Error former volume not mounted" but in another directory on the mount, it is able to delete snatches torrent files.. so why is it saying that? My smb.conf share is configured like this: http://pastebin.com/Ke0EzpHD [00:08] I write here, because i, maybe i have mounted the share the wrong way? [00:09] The utorrent server and ubuntu are on the same server === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:11] v3n0mDr0p, iirc that driver is called 'intel' check the log to ensure that is driver loaded if it is you probalby have optimal driver... [00:12] its /var/log/Xorg.0.log sorry [00:13] hi. i am looking at files in http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openssh/. have noticed files openssh-server-*.udeb. what is the .udeb extension indicate about the type of the file? is it still a debian package file i can install in ubuntu? thanks. [00:14] grep for LoadModule: "intel" [00:14] make sure there is no 'EE' [00:15] Safety_Dance, I have xorg.0.log and xorg.1.log. wich one do I open [00:16] v3n0mDr0p, try the 0 one [00:16] it should be the newest one or hmm [00:17] v3n0mDr0p, /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:18] Safety_Dance, I'm in and I told it to look for intel. got multiple results. exactly what am I looking for? [00:20] cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep '"intel"' [00:20] just make sure that module loaded it sound like it is [00:21] can anyone tell me if these errors found in .xsession-errors could explain why my system would randomly slow down for no apparent reason? http://pastebin.com/eFDuadax [00:22] how do you restore windows 8 bootloader? [00:22] Is there a command to get information about url in the terminal? [00:22] I think there is but I've forgotten it [00:23] or an application that gives tons of information about a url, like a reverse lookup [00:23] its still partitioned on my hard disk. [00:24] moengac, did you already try to reinstall windows or some thing just asking? [00:24] when i turn the power on it takes me to grub [00:24] no i haven't [00:24] Safety_Dance, look I'm in the xorg.0.log and I am still confused where inthe log I am trying to find [00:25] when i reinstall won't i lose all my files? [00:26] v3n0mDr0p, just make that command outputs (II) LoadModule: "intel", not (EE) LoadModule: "intel" [00:27] moengac, no i was just asking if you did that you should probably run the grub2 configuration... [00:27] then grub may load windows i dunno [00:28] Hey, do you guys still do Mac-specific ISOs? Or have the Mac-related issues with the regular ISOs been fixed? [00:28] Safety_Dance, LoadModule: "glx" [00:28] [ 22.849] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so [00:28] [ 22.849] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation" === LarrySteeze|Away is now known as LarrySteeze [00:29] yeah it is probably loading intel module... [00:29] Safety_Dance, does that tel you something or I am I posting the wrong thing [00:29] i dondoes anyone else have an idea on how to restore windows 8 bootloader if its still partitioned on hard drive. [00:29] idk why it would be slow i think it was supposed to be good at this point v3n0mDr0p [00:29] v3n0mDr0p, kinda... === Mars is now known as Guest38382 [00:30] Safety_Dance, the rest of the system is find. Everything works the way it should. its just the unity bar is slow when scroling up and down as opposed to 13.10. Just want to speed the scrolling up [00:30] yeah i here ya === Guest52435 is now known as matthewvz [00:32] Hello there, I am trying to get rsyslog to output *.* messages out to tty8, under 12.04, apparently it doesn't work anymore, as it used to do in 10.04. Has anyone sumbled upon the same issue? [00:33] *stumbled* [00:34] v3n0mDr0p, i am not aware of issues with unity... maybe boot a live cd of newer ubuntu and see how it runs [00:35] * enye repeats [00:35] Guys, how can I get url information from the command line? [00:35] Hello there, I am trying to get rsyslog to output *.* messages out to tty8, under 12.04, apparently it doesn't work anymore, as it used to do in 10.04. Has anyone stumbled upon the same issue? [00:36] Jinxy, you could ping the domain that will give you ip what info do you need? [00:36] 1668 users. no one knows. [00:36] good. [00:36] Do you guys still release Mac-Specific ISOs? [00:36] 1668 users? O.o [00:37] Safety_Dance, last I checked 13.10's unity worked much faster. but theres got to be away to fix this on the long term version . would be a pain in the ass to reinstall all his programs and start allover agian when the next non lts release comes 6 to 8 months from now. [00:38] do we have to reinstall programs when new versions come out? [00:38] Safety_Dance : That would work, but there's this nice command in ubuntu that I've forgotten that returns the os of the server in questions, the webserver installed, stuff like that [00:38] Danato: no [00:38] Just some general diagnostic information [00:38] thats what i thought, because i dont remember losing anything [00:39] v3n0mDr0p, yes idk that i would recommend trying to update unity im not really sure maybe use different window manager [00:39] Jinxy, nmap will give you more of that sort of info [00:39] i have a small issue, i copied my fonts over from my windows install and they show up as blocks when i try and use them... i ran fc-cache -f -v [00:40] you will need root for some of it's functionality [00:40] Safety_Dance: thanks fine, thanks [00:40] *that's fine [00:40] np :) [00:41] :D === LarrySteeze is now known as LarrySteeze|Away [00:41] Safety_Dance, damn. well another question. if my friend has way to much setup on his desktop and I don't want to do a fresh install. is sudo upgrading safe? [00:41] hi all.. has facebook flash games (farmville 2) on ubuntu/linux worked better.. as faster without lag? [00:42] nvm, duh moment i just fixed it lol [00:43] v3n0mDr0p, huh. don't don't to fast scroll I guess. can easily get to the bottom icons moving the mouse torwards them. still want to know if sudo upgrading is a good idea or not [00:43] hello? [00:43] yes [00:43] ask. [00:44] cocontmi, adobe no longer updates flash player for linux - only google chrome has a current flash player as google have a deal with adobe [00:44] I recently made a backup of my personal files using deja dup on Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit. If I restore this on Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit, will I run into some major problems? [00:44] one way to find out... [00:45] moppy: i have chromium.. same difference [00:45] Kramer_, data files *should* copy across fine but you know what they say about backups: an untested backup isn't a backup, all it means is you copied stome stuff [00:45] cocontmi, not chromium, it must be chrome [00:45] ok.. i will install chrome and find out.. thanks! [00:45] cocontmi, chrome has 11.9 version of flash (same as windows), chromium has 11.2 [00:46] Alright, thank you [00:46] good info thanks! :) [00:46] edoceo: did you get it to work ? [00:48] v3n0mDr0p, if you do try it i would make sure it is backed up and stuff [00:49] moppy: chrome stable or beta [00:49] you could break things that work and your friend may make you redo his system [00:49] s/could/probably will [00:50] sudo blkid /dev/md127 gives type: "xfs" does this mean, that my raid has to be mounted in fstab as a filesystem xfs? [00:51] Safety_Dance, no kidding. anyway its fine now. and It is probably for the best to leave him with the long term version till 14.04 comes out. can't wait for that [00:51] Safety_Dance, 13.10 has a few annoying bugs [00:51] whoever: remounting /tmp was the fix [00:53] v3n0mDr0p, yeah... i am not at all sure how upgrades go these days and it is a risk maybe clone it first then make sure that works if you are willing to try an upgrade [00:54] Safety_Dance, my advice has always been clean install from iso files. backup everything. [00:54] you need to learn how to upgrade properly [00:54] if you can't, you're using the wrong distro [00:54] i'm not getting any sounds,what went wrong? [00:54] rampageRipper: any number of things [00:55] reisio: ? [00:55] v3n0mDr0p, yeah read the docs on upgrading it might work like a charm [00:56] at that point it is a lot of work anyway and the cloning i would do regardless... more time there... might be better fresh ubuntu wipe [00:56] Safety_Dance, i will. but again this system will be fine as 12.04. thank you. I'm out for right now. thank you for the help [00:57] np at all [01:02] hallo?

When I check for updates, it gives this message: [01:28] Failed to download repository information, Check internet connection. [01:28] However, it often does have updates and will download them. [01:28] This also comes with a couple other problems. One is a red exclamation-triangle in the bar near the top right corner that claims that some of the update information is outdated. The other is in the main Update Manager window, there is a message that says "The package information was last updated 8 days ago." [01:28] there is a command that lists all connected devices right?

[01:50] Bozza: you're right my mistake [01:51] wilee-nilee: printer is listed, it connects and prints a blank page. however i am not on ubuntu so this may not be the best place to get support [01:51] i tried sudo apt-get remove simplescreenrecorder and it seemed to have worked. this process doesnt leave anything behind does it? [01:51] blazers: should remove it just fine [01:51] cool tnx [01:51] blazers, You would use purge rather than remove to get most or all. [01:52] wilee-nilee: i wouldn't know if there is a general unix irc channel. but ubuntu guys seem like the most knowledgable since ubuntu has been using gutenprint for quite a long time now as i recall [01:52] Bozza, Is this a ubuntu OS?

[01:55] wilee-nilee: whats the channel name ? [01:56] btw, can anyone tell me how to list and search the irc channel name and description in irssi ? [01:56] wilee-nilee: what is a good apple channel? i am usually in the macrumors channel as the guys there are very knowledgable. the reason why i thought to ask here was because ubuntu has been using gutenprint forever by default [01:56] Bozza, I see ##apple [01:57] i know it seems ridiculous asking here .. i feel ridiculous lol .. but there is reasoning behind it haha :) [01:57] wilee-nilee: ty will give it a go [01:57] wilee-nilee: also reading up on that huge gutenprint manual [01:58] buffer i/o error on device zram0 logical block 508192.

[02:10] natural: you'll be fine. [02:10] Does anyone know if the bug in 12.10 with crashing nvidia drivers has been fixed?

Version 13.10.2-0ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 476 kB, installed size 1894 kB [02:11] maxh76: works fine in 13.10 [02:12] natural: gufw is simply the graphical tool to ufw (the firewall thats already installed) You might like gufw if you need a gui or havent ever used ufw [02:12] natural if youre not feeling safe enough using a linux distro the other OS' should make you paranoid [02:12] i know it is optional, but so are working windows, haha, ok, but if i install it thorugh software center then just turn it on on the standard settings, does it help with online safety or does it just slow down my connection? [02:12] maxh76, Look at that bug page and find out.

[02:14] thanks asshat [02:14] I've been a linux user for seven years, and I've never felt the need to run a personal firewall. Work is one thing, but it's not necessary at all really. Don't do anything stupid, but you'll probably be fine without installing one. [02:14] that sounds sarcastic lol [02:14] natural: imo a firewall does not 'help' with security or slow down your connection [02:14] Hey Guys!! im using a toshiba l645D s4036 with ubuntu 13.10, it does not recognize the battery. I dosnt show the battery icon. i have try everything that i could find. Does anyone know what to do??? [02:14] bingo. [02:15] cool, xorgnak what do you mean by something stupid? [02:15] Tortex, can you open the power management settings? [02:16] power management settings are accessible through the top left icon on 'unity' click then type settings click on all settings or settings manager then on power settings, at least thats how i would get there quickly, i like unity [02:16] natural: stupid always finds a way of being unpredictable, but something akin to posting an unencrypted plain text file with all your particulars and passwords, you know - as a backup on your /var/www. [02:18] yup i can acces it [02:18] yeah i dont normally post anything unless it is some kind of screen shot or somehting like how to get ssl up and running, but no pw's or anything [02:18] hey natural [02:19] oh christ [02:19] something wrong ? [02:19] heh [02:20] but there is no battery options just what to do when the lid is close [02:20] head over to defocus jm, i dont think this channel is the right place for conversations about subjects other than ubuntu [02:20] nothing related to the battery [02:20] Tortex, Has this been since install?

[02:29] wilee-nilee, i know i can get the battery to show through powersettings or brightness lock? maybe? nah i think its jsut through powewr settings [02:29] no it just says acad [02:30] asshat the problem is that if i use cat/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/ [02:30] is says that the file dont exist [02:30] the battery icon was never there [02:30] ubuntu just thinks that this laptops is a desktop [02:32] i found a guy that deals with a similar problem [02:32] he trys to get the kernel to recognize the battery [02:32] but im lost on the steps [02:33] something is weird [02:33] and also i tried to install from cero ubuntu just in case [02:33] but it didn't work [02:34] when mounting a samba share in fstab, is it possible to give multiple users access via the uid= flag? [02:34] 13.10 gnome fallback (flashback) ... LibreOffice Calc hyperlinks & XChat links ... when i click on those links, firefox just opens a new window with my home page ... anyone else have issue ? [02:40] so quiet [02:40] no [02:40] noo! [02:40] okay maybe [02:40] o.o [02:40] it does seem a little early to be this quiet [02:40] people must be doing nonsense preparing for the season of pain [02:40] it is 03:40 in Stockholm [02:40] ssh I'm trying to sleep [02:41] sleep is for loosers [02:41] 10:40am in Macau, spent the whole night awake [02:41] yeah, but it's not even late for technophiles where most native english speakers are [02:41] peyam: hear hear [02:41] wilee-nilee: was that a pun? :p [02:41] yes. ;) [02:41] heh [02:41] dropbear I'm trying to sleep [02:42] doesn't work all the time [02:42] i gave up a while ago [02:42] If I don;t sleep I go more psychotic [02:42] ill have classes in a few hours [02:42] I am happy with my xubuntu. But by some unknown reason I want to move to a pure xfce dist. I don't know what dist I should choose [02:42] yeah? Well I gave up before then! [02:43] peyam: like a distro that makes it hard to install GNOME & KDE? :p [02:43] I'm not aware of any such insanity [02:43] reisio: You should empty ur brain when you lay down. think about nothing.. [02:43] lol its almost 11am here, how did you give up before? :P [02:43] peyam: tall order [02:43] Danato: I gave up before I was born [02:43] * reisio wins [02:43] :P [02:43] reisio: No. xfce is good but xubuntu uses some Gnome stuff. [02:44] Xfce uses GNOME stuff [02:44] optionally [02:44] *installing kde again* [02:44] you'd have to use a source based distro or compile it yourself to disable the GNOME stuff [02:44] oddly enought that's exactly what I do :) [02:44] Xfce is crazy lighter without that GNOME insanity [02:44] Debian xfce dosnt do that [02:44] no idea on the battery thing? [02:44] peyam: pretty sure it does [02:45] Have read that it does not! [02:46] Tortex: M yxubuntu frezes on battery mode. so I use windows or I have then cable plugged in when I use ubuntu [02:46] peyam: maybe if you disable recommends [02:46] but even then I doubt it [02:47] Tortex, My curiosity is did you have a icon until you tweaked your setup, and does the battery actually not work. [02:47] hahaha yeah thats exactly what im doing but it would be good to have everything working properly [02:47] hello 4 all i need help to instal ubuntu from usb flash device [02:47] the battery icon was never there [02:47] and the battery does work [02:47] it hold up for something like 1 and half hours [02:48] Tortex: any luck with the /sys entry? [02:48] Tortex, Make a second user and see if it is the same and try a live cd/usb and see if it is the same. Also use nicks here. [02:48] one question Tortex, is your bios updated? [02:48] have try that [02:48] yup already update the bios [02:49] !who | Tortex [02:49] Tortex: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:49] and your laptop is a toshiba right? [02:49] xorgnak sorry what do you mean? [02:49] Hey all, on ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Terminal Only) if I have run a cmd such as "aptitude install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql" on a server, how to I remove that? [02:49] ubottu: thanks! :) [02:49] Tortex, this could be your case https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/703302 [02:49] Ubuntu bug 703302 in linux (Ubuntu) "[Toshiba Satellite L650 X5310] battery not being detected" [Low,Incomplete] [02:50] Arrick: sudo aptitude remove ... [02:50] thanks [02:51] Help! Every time I restart my Ubuntu machine, I have to go into my nvidia X server settings and reset my primary monitor (dual monitor setup here). Even if I hit apply, and then save, when i reboot all my games start on the wrong monitor. I check the settings, and my primary monitor is no longer marked as my primary. I fixed this before, but since my reformat I haven't been able to fix it again [02:51] Danato: when i use dmesg | grep batt [02:52] Danato: i get this [ 0.990842] ACPI Exception: AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT, Evaluating _BIX (20130517/battery-443) [02:52] i have look to that recommendation also [02:52] its a no go === Mars is now known as Guest27594 [02:54] i think is a difficult thing to fix [02:54] sadly [02:55] Tortex, maybe somebody else can find you a solution, stick around [02:56] Danato: thanks danato! [02:56] and every one to give it a try [02:57] bye everyone [02:57] Tortex, see ya [02:58] yeathatsright: yo [02:58] my updates are taking much longer than I expected [02:58] i've lost my the Unity Webapps extension in Chromium - yet everything seems installed ok - any way to get it back? [02:59] You should definitely switch to Arch ;) [03:00] how do i execute a python script? [03:00] joossee: same as any other script [03:01] ./script if it's executable (chmod +x script), or interpreter script if it isn't (and you for some reason don't want it to be) [03:01] for python the interpreter will invariably be 'python' [03:01] so anyone install apache 2.4.x from a ppa? [03:01] ty reisio [03:01] yet? [03:01] joossee: rm -f script.py [03:01] joossee: probably someone [03:01] xorgnak: wtf :p [03:01] lol [03:01] it's a good death for a python script. [03:02] pinPoint: try the deadsnakes ppa. But see !PPA first [03:02] or the ever popular rm -fR drupal/* [03:02] pinPoint: ignore that. Looked at apache and saw python...doh [03:02] for the php fans. [03:02] heh [03:03] to do it respectfully you should use python [03:04] to do it respectfully, python should execute itself. [03:04] pinPoint: so...look for ondrej packages but be wary of what other updates it will pull in. I think he now maintains two PPAs - one pulls in an up to date PHP too, and one doesn't. Something like that [03:07] thanks again all you helpful people [03:07] im on a dell xps laptop, and all my power settings are being ignored - the screen does not do nothing when lid is closed, the screen also doesn't not turn off when inactive and charger is plugged in [03:08] pero: what version? [03:10] xorgnak: 13.10 [03:10] **** [03:11] seems to be quite a few power subsystem issues tonight. [03:12] this has been going on for a while - i've always thought i never set it up properly since installing 13.10 but now i double checked and turns out its not the case [03:12] pero: cat /proc/acpi/buttoni/button/lid/LID/state === FuchsUmist is now known as FuuqUmist [03:13] no such file/dir === glock9 is now known as foolove [03:14] try tab completing through it. [03:15] see if you can find where your lid switch is hiding. [03:15] nada [03:15] cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state [03:15] try that [03:15] there was a typo in your path ;) [03:16] state: open [03:18] pero: check your power settings. the switch is recognised, but there's nothing telling the operating system to change the brightness settings. [03:18] in System Settings -> Power? done did that [03:18] no dice? [03:19] When lid closed: Do nothing [03:19] but I close my lid and the screen turns off [03:19] and you're right, there is no setting to dim the screen but I want to find the one that turns it off after ~5-10min [03:20] well I just use screen to trigger my screen saver [03:20] does the job. [03:21] any idea where the setting that turns the screen off is? [03:23] finally the kde download is done [03:26] pero, try here; http://askubuntu.com/questions/15520/how-can-i-tell-ubuntu-to-do-nothing-when-i-close-my-laptop-lid === nydel_ is now known as nydel [03:27] i can switch my screen off with the keyboard [03:28] in my screenrc: blankerprg cmatrix -ab -u2\n idle 300 blanker [03:28] ki4ro, he wants the opposite, so would be there instead of "nothing"? [03:28] 5 minutes inactive, it's the matrix. [03:29] xorgnak: already tried all that unfortunately [03:29] really? wow. [03:29] tried =ignore too [03:29] this bug has been alive for ages [03:29] are you running screen? [03:29] i don't spend that much time in terminal [03:30] screen's got to be running for it to work. [03:30] wtf? why [03:31] that's kinda the point. [03:31] you're running a screen blanker. [03:31] oh [03:31] oops [03:31] i got you confused with ki4ro [03:31] it blanks your terminal, to keep your old school green on black crt from burning. [03:31] ki4ro: already tried all that [03:32] pero, Okay...good luck [03:32] yeah, xorgnak, that doesn't really help me out - since i don't spend that much time in terminal [03:32] hi! my screen turns off after 10 minutes. i have adjusted power settings and disabled power manager from startup but still, monitor goes into standby after 10mins of idle (AMD Radeon HD4200 based htpc,xubuntu 13.04 amd64, x.org video driver) [03:33] yet another power/screen issue [03:33] whats with the power manager today? === Mars is now known as Guest42775 [03:33] everything's also been with the 13 series. [03:33] lol nv_ [03:34] i'm just asking the same thing [03:34] nv_: it's in the Brightness & Lock settings [03:34] the settings are ignored [03:34] yeah, i jst reinstalled my ubuntu because it was too messy after a power manager issue [03:34] guys i got some serious issue i need help with who are my boot experts in here? [03:34] yes they are [03:35] I have a .bin file of a disc image from a friend. There is no .cue how can I mount it? [03:35] I'm still pretty solid on 12.04 [03:35] nv_: do they turn off only when you lock your computer? [03:36] a .bin? wow. get ye an iso if you've never done this before. let's not unnecessarily challenge ourselves. [03:36] robbierob: what you need? [03:36] I was kicked but I'm back. xorgnak I can't ask him to give it to me again for a long time. [03:36] What is so hard about mounting a .bin ? [03:36] durring boot i get a super slow response and then often its /dev/disk/by-uuid/5eb21af4 blah blah eror that says dose not exist [03:37] deadmund: some you can just mount as if they were any image [03:37] sam113101, they turn off after 10 minutes of idle (this is an HTPC, screens are going into standby while watching video [03:37] some you have to work harder [03:37] deadmund: is it just a regular old ubuntu image? nothing special? [03:37] i tried running boot helper and i got the response page ready for you.. [03:37] xorgnak: It's not an image of ubuntu, it's an image of a game CD [03:37] and some aren't images, but executables :) [03:37] I'm on KDE fyi [03:38] robbierob: does everything eventually mount and boot? [03:38] no... some times i have to round about go into recover.. select from advance option in grub and boot that way.......boot fixer didnt help [03:38] no definaetly not ok [03:39] deadmund: is it for an emulator? that's probably going to need to be loaded in some fashion [03:39] if i leave it alone it wont boot but hang [03:39] and go into shell mode with the above error [03:39] robbierob: standard install? [03:40] yes i did.....ubuntu studio 13.10 strait standard... [03:40] xorgnak: It's on old need for speed game that runs in crossover but I need to give crossover .iso images (not .bin images) [03:40] deadmund, i wish you luck. i havent figured out how to get games working in linux as anything but .ISO [03:40] nv_: mmm thanks [03:40] deadmund: bingo. [03:41] Is there no way to convert a .bin image to a .iso without a cue file? (google seems to think I need a cue file) [03:41] robbierob: encrypted home directory? [03:41] is says in the error the i am missing stuff...i looked as it was recover mode and it said in a few places that sda was not there but it recovers this and names it sda1 [03:41] no [03:41] deadmund: you need a .cue file. [03:41] i got the boot helper diolog for you... [03:41] http://extremefx.wordpress.com/2008/03/26/how-to-convert-bin-to-iso-image-whithout-having-cue-file-in-linux/ seems to be a solution [03:41] even in Windows, your pretty much SOL if you dont have the .cue file. [03:41] paste.ubuntu.com/6419248 [03:42] finally kde installed! :D [03:43] robbierob: jesus! boot output looks a whole hell of a lot prettier in your world! [03:43] what lol.... hahaha [03:44] thats the out put from boot helper [03:45] it mentioned that i may need to put the partition of 200mb in the from of the drive and re run boot helper again [03:46] robbierob: go for it. that's no kind of problem I've ever run into. [03:46] :/ i dont know how lol... and i still have boot issue number one... lol [03:47] That link I posted worked. I just had to create a very simple .cue file as it instructed and run bchunk. Now ark opens it and recognizes the files inside [03:47] vb_ ^^ [03:47] do you got and terminal magic that can help find out what the issue is? [03:47] robbierob: my advice, get yourself a 12.04 mini.iso install and learn all about lightweight window managers === jmgk1 is now known as jmgk [03:48] why pre tell? [03:48] deadmund_: good job. [03:49] robbierob: 13.10 is an interum release, which means most of the changes they've made are getting tested for the next long term support release. shit gets broke. it cuts you. ouch. [03:49] This should really be supported better by KDE / gnome / unity. It's very straightforward to take an easy guess at the .cue file [03:49] ahhhh.... k got a link/. [03:49] ? [03:50] robbierob: talking to me? [03:50] yes sir... do you have a link for it? [03:51] http://extremefx.wordpress.com/2008/03/26/how-to-convert-bin-to-iso-image-whithout-having-cue-file-in-linux/ [03:51] no sorry to xorg [03:51] I don't have any xorg link sir [03:51] lol sorry [03:51] those bleeding edge releases hurt.

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show.

[03:59] besides the visuals [04:00] wow. battle of the heavyweights, huh? [04:00] Danato: kubuntu-desktop installs the set of packages that Kubuntu wants by default. kde-full installs the Debian-provided KDE metapackage containing all of KDE SC. These sets of packages are different. [04:00] anyone know what packages need to be installed for directfb to work under 13.04? I can't get any providers(image, font) to work.

[04:10] !nounity | yohanes [04:10] yohanes: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty?

I refuse to buy anything Apple just because ;)) [05:03] wait why i plug my iphone5 to pc and always pop up: "trsut this computer......" i click trust [05:03] it always pop up same thing [05:03] technmom: fyi, userNAMES don't mean much, it's the userID that determines ownership! are you sure you need to change your username?

[05:04] ObrienDave: well imho their tablets are still the best in regards to the number and quality of apps available, and the ipod... has no competition yet [05:05] wouldnt buy an iphone though [05:05] you're entitled to your opinion ;)) [05:05] cfhowlett, look at this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/336112/ios-7-iphone-wont-connect [05:05] that is somewhat my issue [05:06] but im done with apple, I cant use my own device properly without feeling squeezed in loads of walls, an ipad is not worth it without being jailbroken [05:07] and even jailbroken its never really free [05:07] darm it [05:07] start to hate apple now [05:07] why it is so hard to just freaking get afile into it [05:07] unlike the android so easy [05:08] and flexible [05:08] exactly thats my point [05:09] so now my iphone is became useless darm it [05:09] can't even get files to it [05:09] welcome to apple [05:09] you can use ifile, but im not sure if you have to be jailbroken [05:09] its been a long time i dont use my idevices lol [05:10] darm it [05:10] crying [05:10] i want to call apple and curse out of them [05:10] darm it, [05:10] phong_, useless? hey remember that iphone photo streams and all that? get the link, download to computer [05:11] phong_, and next time, consider a nexus/android phone [05:11] zykotick9: yes I really need to I'm having trouble with my identity between systems [05:11] phong_: yes you have to be jailbroken http://cydia.saurik.com/package/eu.heinelt.ifile [05:11] once i have a bootchart, how can i interpret it to know what's taking most time and optimize my bootup time?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:12] phong_, get car. drive to apple store. borrow computer. transfer to usb. problem solved. [05:14] technmom: it's not the Username, but the UserID that needs to match between systems!!! assuming NFS/POSIX situtations... for anything Windows/Samba I have NO Clue! [05:14] technmom: i use to always give "zykotick9" the first user 1000 on all my systems, for that reason. [05:15] s/i use to always/i always/ [05:15] zykotick9: its not really a system but a repository that I use and when I update I need to match the names === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [05:16] technmom: interesting... back to, I have no idea. best of luck. [05:16] well all I needed to know is that I will still own my files [05:17] technmom: i wouldn't know, i've never "changed" the name of a user, only created new and copied files (then changed ownership) [05:19] zykotick9: thanks anyway sounds like I should be okay [05:19] technmom: advise if i may, have another use with sudo rights, before doing anything! [05:20] k [05:21] What is the way to clone my current ubuntu setup? will remastersys still work on 13.10? [05:22] HumT_, remastersys is no longer maintained [05:22] HumT_, For cloning that saves the mbr I use clonezilla. [05:23] wilee-nilee: sounds interesting. my purpose would be for pxeboot multiple copies of this installation [05:23] HumT_, I know nothing about pxeboot, but clonzilla is for bulk installations. [05:24] wilee-nilee: k ty [05:24] or deos anyway [05:24] i will check it out [05:25] wilee-nilee: much thanks. answer for pxeboot and clonezilla is here http://clonezilla.org/livepxe.php [05:26] HumT_, Thanks I have no use for it and a brain the size of a walnut, so well you know. ;) [05:26] hi wilee-nilee [05:27] hi [05:29] What do you guys use to burn dvds on linux? imgburn is not available for linux unfortunately [05:30] what's the easiest way to write a script that stops an upstart job but doesn't error if the job isn't running? [05:30] Danato: ubuntu comes with brasero [05:31] xangua: is it reliable enough? [05:31] Danato, brasero does the job [05:31] amagee: find a test for the upstart job - then "if TEST... else foo" [05:32] yeah, my question is what's the appropriate test, or if there's a way to get the stop command to just ignore the job not running [05:32] cfhowlett: nice. thanks guys [05:35] su: Authentication failure....need help! [05:35] redvil: use sudo? [05:35] !notroot | redvil [05:36] !noroot | redvil [05:36] redvil: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [05:36] sudo -i [05:37] im trying to install a firmware..and my linux cli knowledge is minimal [05:37] redvil: use "sudo -i" instead of su [05:37] redvil: as dinosrule said, use sudo. what command needs root privs? [05:37] i even installed xChat so that i can get quick response.. [05:37] redvil, stop typing. read the responses you are getting. [05:38] sure cf..sorry for the lag [05:41] hi all [05:42] hii [05:43] excognac: hi :) [05:43] anybody knows what file system uses OSx? can osx read an of Ext? === jnhager is now known as thatDude [05:44] excognac: HFS+, not by default [05:45] dinosrule: linux can read that right? [05:45] Hello. I'm having some issues with Ubuntu 13.04. After grub, I boot into a black screen with a blinking cursor. I can press ctrl+alt+f1-6 to enter the console, and entering"sudo service lightdm --full-restart" [05:45] morning to all [05:45] !nomodeset | pleanbean [05:45] pleanbean: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [05:46] excognac: read or read/write? [05:46] I tried nomodeset, and yes it does allow me to boot to the login screen. However, it restricts me to 1280x900 or something thats much smaller than what my display can go to. [05:46] dinosrule: r-w and create it with mkfs? [05:46] And I cannot set it to any larger resolution [05:47] pleanbean, check additional drivers, graphic drivers in general. Post that hardware if needed. [05:47] entering "sudo service lightdm --full-restart" boots me to the login screen too, but I don't want to have to do that ever time. [05:47] pleanbean: what graphics card/driver are you using? [05:47] I'm using a Radeon HD6950 [05:47] Let me check the driver [05:47] Can I check the driver via console? [05:47] excognac: Linux has support for read/write HFS+ with some limitations, most notably that journaling has to be turned off on the HFS+ partition. The "hfsprogs" package appears to contain mkfs.hfs, but I don't know how well it works. [05:48] fyi not necessary for me! best of luck - i can't help. [05:48] pleanbean: open /var/log/Xorg.0.log, check for a bunch of lines starting with 'radeon' or 'fglrx'. [05:48] pleanbean: radeon is the open-source driver, fglrx is the ATI Catalyst (closed-source) one. [05:50] dinosrule, I see lines with both radeon and fglrx [05:51] fglrx failed to load (module does not exist) [05:52] i'm looking for some help installing zentyal server, which i believe is based off ubuntu. The question I have is related to install errors when installing via bootable usb. It keeps wanting to go back to the cdrom. I've seen posts where others have tried installing ubuntu server and have seen this same error. any thought? [05:52] Anyone alive tonight? [05:53] barely [05:53] Hi Panther [05:53] dinosrule, where do I go from here? [05:54] pleanbean: either set up fglrx fully or remove it fully. I don't use fglrx, so you'll have to wait for someone who does, unfortunately. [05:55] anyone run into install issues with server and usb? [05:55] pleanbean, did you back up and push out an xorg config? [05:55] Biafra, no, I don't know how to do that [05:55] Hello [05:55] Longship: best is to shoot your specific issue in channel [05:56] i'm looking for some help installing zentyal server, which i believe is based off ubuntu. The question I have is related to install errors when installing via bootable usb. It keeps wanting to go back to the cdrom. I've seen posts where others have tried installing ubuntu server and have seen this same error. any thought? [05:56] lotuspsychje: they already did [05:56] dinosrule: oh my bad, early morning :p [05:56] lotuspsychje: don't support, or encourage support, for "based on ubuntu" in #ubuntu [05:56] I am running Ubuntu 12.04LTS and am trying to mount my Iphone 5GS but am recieving the error: [05:56] DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) [05:57] zykotick9: what do you mean by that? [05:57] dinosrule: thanks mate. What would would you recommend as files system on external hd which could be fastest to copy large files on both (k)ubuntu and osx (mainly avid and video files? (I generally don't neeed to touch them under linux just manage their storage) [05:57] Longship, You might try #zentyal [05:57] lotuspsychje: Longship isn't using ubuntu (or a supported spin) [05:57] Longship, I don't know the server very well but that seems to be something like software sources having the CD checked [05:57] alright I've got a stumper. I have an asus usb-n13 with ralink chipset (rt3072). I went the official website for asus and downloaded the driver. It refuses to compile. [05:57] i did check #zentyal but that channel is not active at all [05:58] zykotick9: oh ok [05:58] My phone prompts me to It starts to tell me that the phone is locked. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this sort of thing? [05:58] pleanbean, run the following and reboot: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old && sudo aticonfig --initial [05:58] excognac: I'm not sure, to be honest. OS X doesn't support many filesystems other than HFS+ and FAT32 (which won't work because of file size), so you might want to go with HFS+ and try to avoid writes from Linux. [05:59] pleanbean, this will backup xorg.conf if it's there, then run the utility to push out an xorg.conf that works with fglrx [05:59] Biafra, rebooting now [05:59] stumpedwithwirel: your ubuntu version? [05:59] 12.04 [05:59] Hey there, is this the right channel for Juju issues? [05:59] Biafra: i hope your nick isn't based on Jello... [06:00] Biafra, what could have caused this issue? [06:00] dinosrule: still thanks bro, I'll dig around hfs+ then [06:00] hehe are we not men [06:00] we are DEVO [06:00] lotuspsyche: 12.04.3 to be exact. [06:00] Biafra, unfortunately I'm still booting to the black screen with blinking cursor [06:01] pleanbean, Hmmm.... try adding nomodeset to the kernel options at boottime [06:01] Biafra: they already did, as mentioned earlier [06:01] Biafra, I tried that. It lets me boot normally, but my display resolution is much smaller than it should be [06:01] Luac: #juju [06:02] nomodeset and the desktop resolution are NOT related [06:02] thank yiu [06:02] Ben64, whenever I add nomodeset as a boot param, my screen resolution is much smaller [06:03] smaller than a blinking cursor? [06:03] Ben64: ahhhh, technically if you use the grub-keep (or similar option), they kinda are... but that's an extreme case... [06:03] pleanbean, you should be able to adjust that either in the display properties panel or via Catalyst Control Center [06:03] Biafra, I should. But the maximum selectable resolution is smaller than normal. [06:03] thats a different problem [06:04] pleanbean, what AMD gpu do you use? [06:04] Radeon HD6950 [06:06] pleanbean, single or crossfire? [06:06] single [06:06] crossfire == no opencl :( [06:07] I Would like to know how to get dodge windows in ubuntu 13.10? [06:07] wolfgang_: what's dodge windows, again? [06:08] reisio It makes it so that when you maximise a windows the launcher hides. [06:09] pleanbean, okay... we may need to purge and reinstall... [06:09] wolfgang_: used to do that by default? [06:09] reisio, What do you mean? [06:10] follow section 2.1 of the ATI BinaryDriverHowto in the wiki [06:11] !radeon | pleanbean [06:11] pleanbean: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [06:11] the link to the wiki is in the wiki article above [06:11] anyway [06:12] where is the setting that dims and turns off my screen after a period of time? [06:12] reisio: the option isnt there by default in ccsm. [06:12] does anyone have experience with the asus usb-n13 wifi adapter? [06:13] stumpedwithwirel, Lots of plug and work usb wifi, I would get one. [06:14] actually nevermind that - in what package is the brightness & lock settings located? [06:14] that would be too easy! [06:15] stumpedwithwirel, Yeah I know, so what's wrong with the internal wifi? [06:15] its a desktop [06:15] ah [06:15] !info compiz-plugins-extra | wolfgang_ [06:15] wolfgang_: compiz-plugins-extra (source: compiz): transitional dummy package.. In component universe, is extra.

Then I rebooted, and its telling me that it cannot mount /boot/efi [06:17] stumpedwithwirel: many usb devices also work out of the box on 13.04 where not default on 12.04 [06:17] lotuspsychje: Its not there, and I tried the 12.04-13.04 fix to get it, but in 13.10 It isnt there even after adding the ppa and upgrading the system.

[06:32] reisio: I'll give it a shot in terminal [06:32] Biafra, I used the Hardware Drivers manager [06:33] pleanbean, or be satisfied with the open-source radeon drivers [06:33] reisio: getting dodge windows feature for the launcher.

[09:43] <[Gentoo]> because you can adjust options then [09:43] <[Gentoo]> like size parameter [09:44] thanks wilee-nilee and lecoeus [09:44] <[Gentoo]> otherwise edit the script and adjust the mount options [09:44] <[Gentoo]> as default is half RAM === matic is now known as Guest16351 [09:45] <[Gentoo]> TomTom: what dir is the tmpfs on? [09:45] TomTom: Came across this, don't know how well it will work though http://blog.sebjan.net/increase-a-tmpfs-partition-size-on-the-go [09:47] How I can format low level [09:47] ? [09:47] to my hdd [09:47] so i can actually combine aria2 and apt-fast [09:48] <[Gentoo]> nitronewbie: do you wnt to zero the drive? [09:48] <[Gentoo]> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk [09:48] YAY!!! I finally found the right IRC client to talk to you guys.... but I've already fixed my issue, lmao [09:48] <[Gentoo]> syrious: what one [09:49] [Gentoo]: yes because computer doesnt read the hdd [09:49] I'm trying to teach myself ubuntu, so I loaded 13.10 onto my hp 255 g1 laptop... then I couldn't get the wifi to work properly [09:50] <[Gentoo]> nitronewbie: i doubt that will help then [09:50] <[Gentoo]> nitronewbie: in what way doesnt it read the disk? doesnt see the drive? [09:50] <[Gentoo]> or what [09:50] I cannot open operating system it wrecked. [09:50] Yes [09:51] It see the driver [09:51] but doesnt reading or writing over it [09:51] just see [09:51] syrious, what was up? [09:52] <[Gentoo]> nitronewbie: just use fdisk or whatever to delete then make a new partition [09:52] <[Gentoo]> and put a FS on it [09:52] Something smells fishy.... [09:53] syrious: somehow unity doesnt work well with the network i use most of the time [09:53] Any libavcodec (ffmpeg) experts in? [09:53] when i switch to kde it works jst fine [09:53] partition is not avaible... [09:53] <[Gentoo]> nitronewbie: what happenes when you do fdisk /dev/disk [09:54] <[Gentoo]> or paste the output of fdisk -l [09:54] I get I/O reading writing error... [09:54] not entirely sure really. I'm a super noob to linux, so I couldn't even begin to tell you, but I found a posting by searching Google that told me to enter in terminal "sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl kernel-source" then enter "sudo modprobe brcmsmac" did a quick reboot, now all is working well [09:55] <[Gentoo]> nitronewbie: if you want to try zeroing the drive do the command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk [09:56] I'm gonna do [09:56] This will be enough? [09:56] dev/zero code? [09:56] <[Gentoo]> maybe the disk is just bad [09:56] do I need anything else? [09:56] io errors usually mean the drive is dying or dead [09:56] <[Gentoo]> is it an old disk [09:57] Does some defragmentation on ssd on ubuntu exist? [09:57] Ben64 are you noob [09:57] <[Gentoo]> soman: yes but it doesnt affect it [09:57] sorry fragmentation [09:57] nitronewbie: watch the attitude here, guy [09:57] didn't see any hdd stuck in badsector? [09:57] [Gentoo]: like a simple hdd? [09:57] <[Gentoo]> soman: as it has no moving parts [09:57] <[Gentoo]> so its got no head to physically move [09:57] <[Gentoo]> which is why fragmentation affects hdds [09:58] thats not accurate, fragmentation does affect ssds as well [09:58] <[Gentoo]> well you shouldnt defrag an ssd [09:59] you shouldn't need to defrag ext3/4 at all [10:00] [Gentoo], Ben64, thanks [10:00] <[Gentoo]> Ben64: in what way does fragmentation affect ssds> [10:00] defrag lol [10:00] <[Gentoo]> if theyre digital [10:01] they're still faster in sequential reads [10:01] hey guys! [10:02] is there another indicator to just show the time than indicator-datetime ? [10:02] i just uninstalled evolution, and believe it or not, ubuntu need a wholesale crappy mail programm, in order to show the freakin time as it appears?? [10:06] hello? [10:06] is anybody here r do i have a netsplit? [10:06] !patience|remoteCTRL, [10:06] remoteCTRL,: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [10:07] so no netsplit... [10:08] remoteCTRL: have you tried installing with --no-install-recommends ? === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [10:08] hitsujiTMO: nope, i dindt know that siwtch until just now...? [10:09] ok... new problem. how do I install flash? I downloaded the tar.gz.... but I don't know what to do now [10:09] syrious: well thats not the correct way, its in the repositories [10:09] !flash | syrious [10:09] syrious: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:09] remoteCTRL: evolution-data-server is a recommend of indicator-datetime ... it's probably something to do with the "add event" and calendar it display [10:10] displays* [10:10] anyone who has an idea with the following issue: "so I have this weird problem.. got my both 2 monitors working (using the open source drivers) .. but my HDMI output (TV) won't work .. weirdly.. it only shows the ubuntu logo.. I can output the HDMI sound, but cannot see the TV (hdmi) video output. in the screen settings .. btw using 12.04" [10:10] hitsujiTMO: i suppose so, and with the mentioned switch it also wants to do so i am afraid... [10:10] ok, lemme try that [10:11] hitsujiTMO: i dont want to have anything related to evolution on my computer... [10:11] hitsujiTMO: actually i also dont want anything web-app related, and so futher and so on, because i am of the opinion, if i want to be spied on, i can go on and use windows, right...? [10:12] actually i am really thinking of swapping distros... mhm... [10:13] !libhal [10:14] What happened to libhal in saucy/3.10? [10:14] remoteCTRL: why not try a different DE? evolution is part of the gnome environment so maybe go for an environment not based on gnome? [10:14] ok, that worked!! thanks! [10:14] i got the standar unity running currently... [10:14] now how do I get my webcam to work, lmao [10:14] !hal | buu [10:14] buu: hal is in the process of being deprecated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info. [10:15] hitsujiTMO: but you know there are so many things on ubuntu nowadays that are really statrting to anoy me big time... like ressource consumption for browsers... [10:15] syrious: install cheese and see if it already does [10:15] cheese? [10:15] aye === kenny_18 is now known as kenny18 [10:16] remoteCTRL: resource consumption for browsers are down to the browsers not ubuntu. again, you can always go with a different browser if you wish [10:16] syrious: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/cheese [10:18] hitsujiTMO: its just the same with no matte what browser... opera, chromium, firebird... open like 35 tabs and FOUR GIGS of ram are prone to swapping ... -.- [10:18] hitsujiTMO: the problem is, that for some reason, that i really dont understand, the contents of ALL tabs reside in the memory at ALL times, dunno what that is good for... [10:18] remoteCTRL: I don't have that experience? are they flash heavy pages? that would explain it. [10:19] remoteCTRL: ok I've got it installed and the webcam shows up in the preferences, but I'm not getting any picture [10:19] hitsujiTMO: amongst others, yes, pages like youtube, open like 15 youtube tabs, and youve had it with four gigs [10:19] syrious: then its not working [10:19] if cheese dont work nothing works [10:20] so I won't be able to use my webcam at all then? [10:20] remoteCTRL: then the issue is with flash not the browser i suspect. [10:20] hitsujiTMO: but i also use farcebook like a sort of blog, i have aboos on quite a few sites, and when i just open them in new tabs to read them later, i'D say 15 is about the limit too... [10:21] syrious: not until you fix what is keeping it from working... have you already been helped around? if so, tell me what you did [10:21] hi, how do I find the right mirror for my location? I am in china [10:21] I haven't done anything yet [10:21] just started on this issue [10:21] hitsujiTMO: it is quite indiscriminate, it also doesnt respond well to javascript and others... [10:21] sarious, its an usb cam i suppose? [10:22] no not usb, integrated [10:22] hitsujiTMO: the huge design error is, to load the contents of all tabs at the same time. [10:22] remoteCTRL: facebook pages are full of flash instances. and is quite poorly optimised [10:23] like for ex, when you restart the browser and reload the previous contents you all of a sudden hear like 15 youtube vids runnign simultaneously [10:23] what the heck would that be good for?? [10:23] what the heck do i need a vid starting before i skip to the tab?? [10:23] helo =) [10:24] and therefore, what the heck do i need the whole vid loaded to the RAM thus using up 4 gigs of ram just for a few browser tabs? [10:24] remoteCTRL: I just had a look there, facebook timeline uses about 200MB ram to render in chrome. That's nothing to do with ubuntu. that would be down to the flash player and the design of the facebook page itself [10:24] remoteCTRL: use elinks [10:24] elinks is the best [10:24] hitsujiTMO: yeah i know but youre missing the point dude [10:24] lecoeus: for browser? [10:25] yep [10:25] i currently prefer chromium because it has one huge advantage over all the others: you can kill processes for tabs, so when i start it i open a console and keep killing processes, until its finally up and running, and when i really want to see the tab i reload it... [10:25] kinda cumbersome, right...? [10:26] cos otherwise i go fetch a coffe until its done loading and swapping... [10:26] thats simply a massive design error [10:26] its seriousl a bad bbad misconception [10:26] remoteCTRL: did you catch me saying it was an integrated webcam? [10:27] remoteCTRL: No, if your having issues with ram, switch to a lightweight DE (i'm just using openbox + lxpanel here, not even a full DE). But as regards the browser/flash memory usage, don't blame it on ubuntu when it has nothing to do with ubuntu [10:27] syrious: what does sudo lsusb | grep cam return and sudo lspci | grep cam? [10:27] syrious: all integraded webcams use a usb interface [10:27] gimme a sec and I'll check [10:28] hitsujiTMO: again: youre missing the point [10:28] hitsujiTMO: i am not blaming the fact that flash is a ressource-hungry biatch on ubuntu [10:28] what i am blaming on ubuntu is the nonsense, that it opens all browser tabs at the same time [10:28] and i also dont blame that on the broswer [10:29] remoteCTRL: watch the language here, and this channel really really is not for ranting, please don't [10:29] because it does it for all browsers which is NOT happening in windows [10:29] Ben64: @ language, fair enuff, the rest, yeah who else am i gonna tell? im on topic dude, i have an ISSUE here, ok? [10:30] remoteCTRL: that behavior you can turn off in the browser settings. (I have never seen that by default btw so you might have turned it on) [10:30] you're not talking about the issue really, you're ranting, and its a browser issue anyway [10:30] remoteCTRL it's just returning me back to a blank command line [10:30] hitsujiTMO: i sureley never did that... [10:30] syrious: apparently your webcam is not turned on, do you have a switch for it anywhere on the chassis? [10:31] not that I can find [10:31] Ben64: would you kindly explain to me then, wha 4 different browsers behave just the samte, which 4 different browseres do the opposite way in windows? [10:31] syrious: can you pastebin the ouput of lsusb [10:31] ummm how do I do that? [10:32] remoteCTRL: sounds like a question for the browser people [10:32] Ben64: all 64 brands of them, really? [10:32] remoteCTRL: is the problem reloading your previous tabs at startup? [10:32] syrious: open a terminal, type "lsusb" hit enter, copy and paste that into pastebin.com and give us the resulting url [10:32] because you should be able to disable that easily [10:32] remoteCTRL ok, gimme a sec [10:32] syrious, try just lsusb, then look for something that looks like your webcam. it will not necessarily say CAM in the name and in lower case :/ [10:33] remoteCTRL, reloading previous tabs is a browser setting. turn it off and no re-opening [10:33] lecoeus: *bitingmylipps* i'd seriously be grateful for a hint how to... ;) [10:33] for firefox, go to preferences, general [10:33] remoteCTRL, ffox? see preferences [10:33] remoteCTRL: again, thats a browser issue, check the documentation perhaps? [10:33] Hey guys. Running Lubuntu. Trying to figure out how to change the look of windows to something dark. [10:34] cfhowlett: no it isnt: i am not talking about not reloading the previous tabs in the sense of not even showing them, but not reloading in the sense of yes showing them, but reloading them WHEN CLICKED AT [10:34] remoteCTRL: i don't think that exists yet [10:34] perhaps you can save your session [10:34] jimgroth: you should be able to change the theme in a settings/preferences menu somewhere, i don't really use lubuntu so i'm not sure what it'd be called [10:34] Ben64: and i say you re wrong there, i bet you 2 punds of dollars! [10:34] then reload it when you want it [10:35] Ben64, I found a place where I can switch themes but it doesn't seem to accept every theme. [10:35] remoteCTRL: pastebin seems to be down for maint [10:35] In fact, none I've tried to download works. [10:35] syrious: use paste.ubuntu.com [10:36] syrious: what you just did, you shouldn't always ask before ;) [10:36] syrious: do it again with lscpi pls [10:38] ok, I think I'm doing it right this time: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6420541/ [10:38] syrious: can you do: ls /dev/video* [10:39] ok gimme a sec [10:39] do I put in the * too? [10:39] yeah [10:40] the webcam is listed on the lsusb, its Bus 002 Device 002: ID 064e:e263 Suyin Corp. [10:40] remoteCTRL: for firefox, check "don't load tabs until selected" in preferences, general, startup. for other browsers, check documentation. file some feature-requests or bug-reports to the browser-devs meanwhile === jnhghy is now known as jnhghy_away [10:40] it returned /dev/video0 [10:41] I have a problem with mounting CIFS shares...

[10:50] Terorr, I PMd you [10:51] syrious: ok, i have been googlen, that device code seems to be unidentifiable and its not a good sign that ubuntu doesnt recognize it, is that a very old or very new laptop...? [10:51] syrious: strange resolutions or something? I am not sure really, cheese is mostly a bit of fun. guvcview is a more serious webcam recording application [10:52] syrious: oh you got it working already...? what was missing? [10:52] hi guys, thoughts on MS finally dropping SHA1 while GPG in Ubuntu still uses SHA1 by default? [10:52] remoteCTRL: neither really, it's kinda in the middle? it's a HP 255 g1 [10:52] syrious: cheese tends to either work or not work, it is a simple teest for goodness, but it doesn't give much feedback when it fails [10:52] k kreatorr [10:52] mt === kreator is now known as kreatorr [10:53] lnostdal1: that isn't so much of a support question, but a great discussion topic for #ubuntu-offtopic [10:53] syrious: AlanBell is it working yet or not...?

Most are Ubuntu desktop/server ... some are Windows boxes [10:54] VipinMS: I have no idea what the answer is, that doesn't happen to me [10:55] syrious: if its a cheese issue, there is also kamoso, kamerka an camorama... [10:55] AlanBell: well the main thing I'm trying to get working is that I use a web based webcam chat service and I can't get past the adobe flash permissions.... is that something with the computer, OS, or the Browser?

[14:32] dang, too bad I have to get to sleep soon. ;)) [14:32] hitsujiTMO: using ACCCOUNT MANAGER [14:33] ubuntu_user: can you paste the output of: cat /etc/passwd | grep [14:33] PRESS on your name in Ubuntu right corner [14:34] then press user accounts [14:34] and from there [14:34] ubuntu_user: obviously replacing with the actual username for the caccount you created [14:34] It sounds like ubuntu_user is having problems with an encrypted filesystem, not with user logins.

[14:36] ubuntu_user: and it's ronalds2 that you cannot log into? [14:36] is there any way to login as root directly? [14:36] hey folks, i imported some data from a hfs+ disk and now the folders are owned by root, how can i fix the permissions for them? [14:36] obviosly ronalds not 2 one [14:36] no, it is NOT obvious. CHILL dude [14:37] ubuntu_user: sorry last sentence does not make sense. can you clarify what account if those 2 that you cannot log into [14:37] !permissions > somethingrandom [14:37] somethingrandom, please see my private message [14:38] that sentence^ of* [14:39] paws: Only if you put a password on root. Ubuntu doesn't. [14:40] paws: you need to boot into recovery mode from the grub menu or boot a live cd and mount the filesystem to fix it. [14:40] remoteCTRL, yeah, i read that already [14:40] somethingrandom: so whats the actual question? [14:41] not super clear for me, i should do "sudo chown user" and how do i do that for a dir and files in dir in that dir? [14:41] SomeDamnBody: sudo chown -R user:user /path/to/dir [14:42] somethingrandom: How did you "import" the files? [14:42] ah, that's it? [14:42] somethingrandom: for example chown -r somethingrandom:somethingrandom /path/to/file [14:42] remoteCTRL: I think its -R [14:42] that must be a -R i tghink.. not -r [14:42] gvo: youre of course right, thanks [14:43] thats something bad to mess up XD [14:43] thanks remoteCTRL [14:43] somethingrandom: np :) [14:43] and hitsujiTMO [14:43] gvo, mounted the hfs+ partition on ubuntu [14:44] easy peasy [14:44] something random, you can also change the file permissions with chmod...

[15:04] MrMonkey31: you can also just type in 'groups' to see the groups for your current user [15:04] I mean, how to start reading codes of big projects? where to start from? how should we know where the coder started from to code a project? we don't have the plan of the project to see where to start from so what should we do? [15:04] thanks ubuntu for ruining half year [15:05] xubuntu906: If you have the key to decrypt you'll probably find a way [15:05] xubuntu906: Only it won't be that easy [15:06] cynicist: nice. good to have these hints when it's morning time & I'm bugging out [15:06] confused... I added a user to a group using usermod -a -G production sftp but now I want to undo that.... someone is telling me to use deluser but that seems like the path to chaos. Any other way? [15:06] Thanks for your complete guidance channel! [15:06] If you're in a rush maybe you could request paid support [15:06] http://www.ubuntu.com/management === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [15:06] xubuntu906: Seems to me (since you had not even found the links I sent by yourself) that you have been looking for a solution for a few minutes only [15:06] MrMonkey31: lol, sure thing [15:07] expecting the answer right away [15:07] Hi! I'm trying to add an apt repository. I'm a little unsure how URL's map to PPA's. The repository I'm trying to add is given as 'https://launchpad.net/~unit3/+archive/bfgminer'. I think I need to convert that to a 'ppa:blah/blah' but I'm not sure how to do that. apt-add-repository does not accept that raw URL. Suggestions? URL's that explain that are also welcome! [15:07] otherwise deciding that you lost an entire year worth of data [15:07] I'am already trying to get my files for a day [15:07] tnx ubuntu for stopping me on login [15:07] I did nothing [15:07] And you didn't check google? :p [15:07] CatKIller I checked your mother [15:07] CatKiller: iirc, there are no more user contracts for Ubuntu support from Canonical. Only commercial. [15:07] FUCK THIS [15:07] xubuntu906: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:07] That's it, bye [15:08] hi. can someone paste me what my sources.list should be for an upgrade to ubuntu latest? [15:08] Pici: Good to know, I didn't [15:08] i want to upgrade to 13.10 [15:09] mattp_: You shouldn't touch your sources.list to upgrade to a new release. [15:09] mattp_: Got a backup? [15:09] i should just nuke and reinstall [15:09] im using a work provided custom ubuntu [15:09] i want to toss all that shit [15:09] mattp_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:10] Ugh, never mind. I found it. That URL has the info I needed *in* it, it's not the repository itself. Sorry for the dumb question. [15:11] cannonball. choose the section , techical details about this ppa , then choose your OS version in the "Display sources.list entries for" , then copy and paste the debs to your :/etc/apt/sources.list , then update and upgrade [15:11] Does anyone know when the problem with Ubuntu's GRUB for Windows 8 UEFI GPT will be fixed [15:12] It does not load windows without needing boot-repair to be run [15:12] later, taters! [15:12] BluesKaj: Thanks, but it's not an upgrade. It's a specific repo for a package I'm trying to install on a bitcoin miner. It appears that it doesn't support the older version of Ubuntu I'm running (Maverick). Will just build another I suppose. [15:12] * MrMonkey31 le waves [15:12] The problem seems to be cuased by the os_prober function [15:12] mustmodify: there are two ways of doing it, you can use 'usermod -G group1, group 2, group3 username' and simply make sure to include every group except the one you want to remove, or you can use 'deluser user group' (deluser doesn't delete group or user if you are using both options), another way is 'gpasswd -d user group' [15:13] Chillax86_. once you riun boot-repair make sure you run sudo update-grub in ubuntu [15:13] cynicist: ok. Seems like there should be a usermod -r if there is a usermod -a. But whatever. Organic growth is messy. [15:13] cynicist: thanks [15:14] yeah done that but boot-repair stop shimx64.efi (secure boot) from working [15:14] mustmodify: that is what deluser is for, it is just scary because if used improperly you can actually delete your user or group entirely. I do agree with you though, it makes things unnecessarily complicated. [15:15] so was wondering if anyone knew when Ubuntu/GRUB was going to fix the install without needing to run boot-repair and keep secure boot switchede on [15:15] hi lads [15:15] how to build weechat?) [15:16] BluesKaj yeah done that but boot-repair stop shimx64.efi (secure boot) from working [15:16] I just just realized I haven't used windows in so long that I can't answer questions related to getting ubuntu to work with it anymore :( [15:16] BluesKaj so was wondering if anyone knew when Ubuntu/GRUB was going to fix the install without needing to run boot-repair and keep secure boot switchede on === gimmic_ is now known as gimmic [15:17] Chillax86_. sorry i don't much about that . whether secure boot is necessary or not [15:17] know [15:20] Secure boot is not necessary but when you need to install Ubuntu on 12 machines of which the person would like secure boot to stay enabled it becomes a problem lol [15:20] Chillax86_: The whole point of secureboot is to prevent you from loading something like Ubuntu, so I don't think there's any scheduled plan for Ubuntu to fix it. It's not something Ubuntu does. [15:24] jhutchins_wk I'm affraid you are wrong secure boot just means that all boot binaries must be signed by a CA included in the UEFI signature database of which most hardware vendors have only included Microsoft's Key so that is why the linux foundation and most linux distros have paid $99 to microsoft to get there binaries signed. [15:25] How can I change tabs color of the inactive terminal window? http://imgur.com/uKisvVp,6JlrCDq [15:26] im using ubu 12.10 with xen 4.1 and pci passthrough to windows 7 flawlessly, but on my ubu desktop, after about 10 minutes of being on it gets extremely sluggish as far as the mouse is concerned. memory is well within limits. on the windows side, works great. any ideas as to the sliggishness ? [15:28] ubuntu 12.04, is there anyway to forward the whole desktop session over ssh/x11 vers just a single application such as firefox [15:28] please tell me hardware diagnostic tools for ubuntu [15:28] like for fan errors [15:31] ghostmediapro: You can use one of the vnc programs. [15:31] tightvnc or nomachine are good choices.

[15:35] that's what the init script recommends [15:35] please help me, I can't even sudo nautilus /var/www and save those files [15:36] Yes, but i *think* upstart got nuked in favour of a different solution [15:36] how on earth I suddenly lost possibility to login my ubuntu user, without messing with anything [15:36] ubuntu_user, have you tried using command line tools instead of nautilues? as in cp, mv, rm....

[15:41] WHAT? [15:41] ubuntu_user: It would help to be more descriptive. Why does trying to copy your files not work? [15:41] I cannot even access them [15:41] from tty [15:41] 1 [15:41] 2 [15:41] 3 [15:41] 4 [15:41] and 5 [15:41] cynicist: He's been at this for a while.

[15:47] never tought I will not be able for no f// reason to login or recover files trought live cd [15:47] or even get var/www files from non user folder [15:47] ubuntu_user: Relax, the reason you can't recover the files is because you encrypted that directory [15:47] I can't I lost VALUE [15:48] I shouldn't have been here in first place [15:48] If I have manually installed BIND on ubuntu do I use named.conf.local or named.conf? === Mars is now known as Guest25348 [15:49] ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly [15:49] TRY MESSING WITH THIS [15:49] !caps | ubuntu_user [15:49] ubuntu_user: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

[16:01] Guys anyone here has xrandr knowledge? I want to shrink the viewport of my HDMI-connected tv to solve a letteboxing problem [16:02] kisaro: yeah the problem is that device support depends on what version you are running, and he is on an older version of ubuntu with an outdated library [16:02] impradeepy: hey [16:05] cynicist: oh you're right, I missed the line about it being fixed on 13.04 onwards (which were the version I did this on) [16:05] machinarius: you might want to try arandr, a gui frontend for xrandr [16:05] impradeepy: [16:06] zykotick9, thanks man [16:08] has xrandr, or arandr in this case a way to autodetect when I connect anything via HDMI/VGA ?

[16:19] jsc__. run , dhclient eth0 [16:19] cynicist, i just marked 'show desktop icons' as you said. everything is fine now .... thank you [16:19] kiwi_: excellent, yw :) [16:19] :-) [16:19] One sec, blueskaj, will do [16:21] jsc__: mind using http://paste.ubuntu.com/ to link the output of the command 'lspci'? [16:21] BluesKaj> Nevermind apparently. Rebooting the 16th time is apparently what it took to solve that problem. [16:22] jsc__. rememeber this command too , it will come in handy , sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:22] and cyncist, the problem was that the ethernet didn [16:22] register in the lspci output [16:23] jsc__: that's bizarre, not sure how your system would even know what to do if it couldn't detect an ethernet controller at all [16:24] BluesKaj, I'll note that. Would it solve problems where a certain interface doesn't register in ifconfig, for instance? [16:24] jsc__: glad it is fixed at least though [16:24] jsc__: no it wouldn't [16:24] i cant see video preview images, however can play the youtube videos .... any idea [16:24] jsc__. amongst other things , yes [16:24] Hi there just a word about my new project http://solicms.com, a new free DB CMS ... Core engine is done, working on admin part now ... It will run of course on Ubuntu :) [16:24] cynicist, I had installed tlp in an attempt to limit rampant power usage and somehow that completely wiped all evidence of there being an eth0 interface at al [16:24] jsc__: if the interface doesn't register in ifconfig that is likely because the module (driver) for it isn't loaded [16:25] jsc__: Any unidentified devices in lspci? [16:25] I am having issues getting apt-get to work with my proxy. I have created an apt.conf file and added Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxyname.domain.net:80/"; [16:25] Oops. scrollback... [16:25] can someone tell me what im missing [16:25] jsc__: ah I dont have a laptop so I'm not familiar with what tlp does [16:26] hey is there a chat for scripts and encrytion around? [16:27] tlp is supposed to be add-on functionality that helps but doesn't conflict with the power manager in place. [16:27] robdog: Theres ##security, but I don't know what you mean by 'scripts' [16:27] But it recommends stuff like ethtool too, which I assume is where the problem occurred. [16:27] i.e. that I overwrite some important configuration somewhere by installing it. [16:27] And cynicist, lspci seems normal now. Nothing irregular, really. [16:28] jsc__: So do you have ethernet or not? [16:28] jhutchins_wk: he does [16:29] jhutchins_wk. he already has it back [16:29] jhutchins_wk, I do now [16:29] ok, forget the preview images ... i had a firefox plugin configured wrong [16:29] .sh stuff and bin bash stuff [16:29] robdog: #bash [16:30] Great! On to breaking the next thing! [16:30] trying to port over a script i created in windows needing help with the transpher [16:30] hmmm cool thanks...whats you experience with the subject pici [16:31] robdog: depends what the exact question is, but I'm in #bash, I'll look in and see if I can help.

I installed it and tried to login using it, but my desktop never loads, so I just had to hard-reboot. Any thoughts? === PresidentBarackO is now known as BarackObama_X [16:32] Ziber: are you sure it didn't load? [16:32] I can't boot from my pendrive. [16:33] lecoeus: All I see is the "Ubuntu GNOME" text on the bottom and my mouse... nothing else. [16:33] i don't know about the gnome text but tiling wms like xmonad don't usually have anything on the desktop [16:34] you just see the wallpaper [16:34] Edit your Xorg.conf [16:34] lecoeus: But I can't even see my apps? [16:34] if the keyboard shortcut to open the terminal doesn't work, then you have a problem [16:34] Ziber: that's normal [16:34] pici i am there now [16:34] there is no taskbar [16:34] sudo gedit /etc/xorg.conf [16:35] Didn't try it. Found a xmonad config file to use though. Gonna test that out in a sec. [16:35] !gksudo | BarackObama_X [16:35] BarackObama_X: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:35] lecoeus: you can "typically" right click on the desktop to get a menu... [16:35] Ziber: press mod+shift+return [16:35] I couldn't right click. [16:35] I always use sudo, I should try gksudo? [16:35] zykotick9: i don't remember how it works in xmonad [16:35] Well, I mean, nothing happened when I did. [16:36] lecoeus: i don't use xmonad... but using WM have right click menus (i use awesome) [16:36] in my experience right click doesn't work usually in tiling wms [16:36] Xmonad doesn't have enough features. [16:36] i used xmonad a bit, now i use i3 [16:36] i3 doesn't have right-click [16:37] Install Microsoft Windows. [16:37] lol [16:38] Pay Bill Gates.

[16:39] BarackObama_X. enough [16:40] Fine. === erry_ is now known as erry [16:41] ciao [16:42] pulsar78: Sometimes you can rmmod then modprobe or insmod, sometimes you have to blacklist the old drivers and reboot. === BadTaste is now known as Bad_Taste [16:43] Hi [16:44] nwy software similar to jupiter??

My desktop background loaded, and I could right click, but nothing else happened. [16:48] ney help?? [16:48] Is there not a better way to do this: dpkg -i riak_1.4.2-1_amd64.deb || apt-get -f install -y && dpkg -i riak_1.4.2-1_amd64.deb [16:48] I guess it says it doesn't have unity. But I want to see a launcher of some kind... === eric is now known as Guest31094 [16:49] I know redhat will let you install local rpms with yum so dependencies are automatically installed, haven't seen any better way to do this in Ubuntu [16:49] cpuguy83_: i'd think the 2nd "dpkg -i riak_1.4.2-1_amd64.deb" would be redundant [16:50] zykotick9: so the apt-get -f install would take care of going ahead and installing it? [16:50] cpuguy83_: As far as I know it's still a two step process, so yeah, dpkg -i, apt-get -f. === Mars is now known as Guest67082 [16:51] cpuguy83_: will the first dpkg installs the package (but, i'm assuming is missing dependencies), the the apt-get -f install fixes the issue. no now everything "should" be installed. === pbx is now known as pbx-lunch [16:51] hi lads [16:51] * zykotick9 can't type today [16:52] i have quiet sound in my kubuntu 13.04. can you help me? [16:53] aah... I figured the install didn't happen because it's missing the dependencies. [16:53] asm32dev, did you try unmuting? [16:53] Sure would be nice if apt-get could be pointed at a local file [16:53] wheatthin, what is unmuting?) [16:53] cpuguy83_, why not use dpkg? [16:54] wheatthin: For a single step process [16:54] lol ummm why as long as you get it installed? [16:54] just dpkg -i [16:54] master channel is set to maximum volume, but sound is quiet [16:55] Whats the apt command?why its used? [16:55] cpuguy83_: there is a tool to make it single step... but i can't recall the name (i've never actually used it).... gdebi i believe?! [16:55] asm32dev, so go to the PCM and unmute [16:56] pcm is set to maximum too [16:57] zykotick9: that's the graphical deb installer [16:57] sound card is a kind of realtek [16:58] zykotick9: hmm although apparently it can be used in a terminal too [17:01] hi baracko /msg NickServ info mendota [17:01] debasis: apt lets you get remote packages and does dependency resolution [17:01] oops [17:04] hello [17:04] kinda new at this [17:04] i need some help with ubuntu 13.10 windows 8 dual boot [17:05] Still troubleshooting xmonad, someone is suggesting adding it to "startup applications (on the Unity Panel)" What/where is that? [17:06] It says Startup Applications lol [17:06] and it does what it's name says it does. [17:06] ... Where? [17:07] Settings manager? [17:07] I don't see it on the System Settings. [17:08] Ziber: i think making xmonad a unity startup application would run it inside unity [17:08] Oh, did a search for it on the full system search thing. [17:08] as a substitute for compiz [17:09] lecoeus: Well, I want to do a unity + xmonad setup. [17:09] I don't use compiz. [17:09] Sot hat'd be fine. [17:09] *So that'd [17:09] compiz is installed by default isn't it? [17:09] Ziber: ok then [17:09] Yeah. Replacing it would be fine though. [17:10] xmonad --replace would work for one-time [17:10] might add that as an alias [17:10] lecoeus: if you replace compiz, i'm not sure any of unity will be able to run... [17:10] How do I format from cli? [17:10] anyone have experience with uefi windows 8 ubuntu 13.10 dual boot? [17:11] format external drives [17:11] bl4ckdu5t, very carefully.. us parted [17:11] use* [17:12] wheatthin: you mean 'su parted'? [17:13] zykotick9: you are probably right [17:13] zykotick9: i've never actually used unity but i think it was designed as a compiz plugin [17:13] parted is the app... use sudo . [17:13] ok thanks [17:13] lecoeus: it is (currently) a compiz plugin, yes. [17:14] CPU monitor screenlet comes up several times at boot. Any help for getting excess instances to stop launching? [17:14] Tried "xmonad --replace" and lost all window controls... :( [17:14] !xmonad [17:14] :/ [17:16] Also, I have an unworldy number of sessions in my list, on the login screen. How can I remove some of those? [17:17] Ziber: Have a look in /usr/share/xsessions [17:17] Ziber: yeah, we were saying unity + xmonad is probably impossible [17:18] Ziber: Probably enough to put a '.' in ront of the session you want to hide [17:18] Yeah. [17:18] Hm. [17:18] :( [17:18] Impossible you say? [17:19] unity is implemented as a compiz plugin [17:19] Ziber, unprobable without multiple complications. [17:19] :( [17:20] Well, I'm gonna try this Gnome + Xmonad. Brb. === alex88_ is now known as alex88 [17:22] Gnome + xmonad doesn't even have window controls. [17:22] Le sigh.

[17:32] flk: describe your situation [17:32] i installed ubuntu on a windows 8 computer [17:32] !uefi | flk [17:32] flk: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [17:32] then a serious of events caused my current situation [17:33] hey all, I'm trying to use one of the Ubuntu cloud images in Vagrant and it seems like the template uses a disk size that is way too small to be useful. Does anyone know where would I go to report this/talk to someone about the template? [17:33] ive read all that already [17:33] my problem is as soon as i boot-repair grub is my default boot loader [17:33] then if i select windows [17:33] and restart [17:34] windows boot loader overwrites grub [17:34] and i cant get into ubuntu [17:34] if i boot from liveCD and do boot-repair again [17:34] i can boot into ubuntu [17:34] but again [17:34] devnulled: try #vagrant [17:35] flk, please don't use return as punctuation [17:35] Rather than xmonad, are there other solutions to have my laptop and external monitor to each have their own, individually-controlled workspaces? [17:35] as soon as i pick windows boot loader, the system boots into windows without giving me any other options [17:35] sry, im too excited. i will control myself [17:35] hitsujiTMO: I'll give that a shot. It is a Ubuntu created template so I think I'd need to talk to someone from Ubuntu about it, but doesn't hurt to try there. Thanks. [17:36] flk, sounds like you have the wrong disk booting. Is this a dualboot on the same hard drive? [17:36] yes [17:36] devnulled: where did you get the template exactly and how big is the disk size? [17:37] flk, by checking fdisk 'sudo fdisk -l' you can see which partition is marked to boot. [17:37] hitsujiTMO: I got the image/template from http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ (I can give the full URL to the image if helpful) and the disk size is only 4 GB. [17:38] this is odd. fdisk -l shows only sda1 [17:38] flk, are you dual booting windows and ubuntu? [17:38] yes nightdemon [17:38] nightdemon666, windows 8 [17:39] and you "should" have ubuntu installed onto partition sda2 but fdisk only show you sda1 (which is windows)? [17:39] hitsujiTMO: I'm not sure if its a typo or what. Disk images for Vagrant tend to be 40 GB. I believe the images only allocate space as needed, so it shouldn't be a problem to increase it to something usable. [17:39] this is what fdisk got me: i need some help with ubuntu 13.10 windows 8 dual boot [17:39] devnulled: i presume the intention is that you can expand the partition to you needs [17:39] ups, let me try this again [17:40] hi i connected my old windows harddisk and it says access denied why i dont have root access to it?

[17:40] flk please use pastebin for your output [17:40] flk, did you partition your internal drive (/dev/sda) so that you would have /dev/sda2 [17:40] flk, you'll need to use parted, since it's GPT [17:40] hitsujiTMO: You have to basically create your own image again, or add your own new partition to do it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/317338/how-can-i-increase-disk-size-on-a-vagrant-vm [17:40] ahh, how do i do it with parted? [17:41] hmm, i sem to remember partitioning a GPT with Gparted... FYI === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [17:42] but you can see the partitions with parted yes... sudo parted -l i think [17:42] can i get a report like with fdisk from gparted?

[17:44] just useflk, based on what you information you have given me, it sounds liek grub is NOT installed to /dev/sda1, hence why you are not seeing the GRUB to give additional boot options. [17:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6422329/ [17:44] Anyone with multiple monitors figure out how to get each monitor to have independent workspaces? [17:45] Is there a free and cool video editor like sony vegas for ubuntu? [17:45] Ziber, I think you can, but it's tricky cause you gotta play with tty's [17:45] soman: dunno about being "like sony vegas" but openshot is nice [17:45] Hrm... [17:45] GRUB MUST be installed to /dev/sda1 to provide the necessary boot options to boot into ubutnu [17:46] on a side not, paste.ubuntu is great! [17:46] dev/sda1 is efi/boot [17:46] and you also have to perform a sudo update-grub command too i think... [17:47] how old is Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3 [17:47] I am using wubi, but... my laptop fan is a lot louder compared to win7, even though i just have a few tabs open on browser [17:47] ancient [17:47] any quick fix for that? [17:47] thumpba: Which package are you asking about? [17:48] Pici: i have a legacy system and trying to put a date with this ubuntu release...Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3 === BadTaste is now known as Bad__Taste [17:48] atl+ctrl+right arrow does not change window [17:48] thumpba: There is no such release with that number, that is a format used for package versions. [17:48] Pici: when i do a uname -a i get "2.6.24-24-xen" [17:48] lol well we are at 13.10 now :) [17:49] thumpba: What does lsb_release -a say? [17:49] command not found [17:49] if I am on a gnome terminal it prints C for right arrow and D for left arrow.. anyway to restore keyboard shortcuts? [17:49] thumpba: cat /etc/issue ? [17:49] hmm. [17:49] i did sudo update-grub [17:49] flk, how big is this harddrive? internal to laptop or desktop? [17:49] its a desktop 2TB drive [17:50] ok... [17:50] hitsujiTMO: Anyhow, thanks for the help.. I think I might just have to do it manually and create my own image unfortunately. [17:50] did you make sure that when grub installed that it installed to /dev/sda1? [17:50] grub is installed to the ubuntu partition sda5 [17:50] axisys: do you mean in vi? install vim! [17:50] thats the problem flk [17:51] I wanted to enable 3d widows with ccsm and that's when I lost the alt+ctlr+arrow functionality.. removed ccsm and compiz-plugin-extras since then.. unity --reset looks deprecated [17:51] i cant use an uefi partition [17:51] zykotick9: switch workspace with alt+ctrl+arrow is failing [17:51] flk why not? [17:51] GRUB's purpose is to allow boot options... windows boot loader will boot you straight to windows unless replaced by RUB [17:52] axisys: ahhh. different issue! i've got no clue on yours ;) === Mars is now known as Guest86774 [17:52] when I hit alt+ctrl+arrow and I am on a gnome-terminal .. instead of changing workspace it is showing C or D depending the direction of the arrow.. odd [17:52] ok, so i would have to overwrite the entire windows boot loader [17:52] yes [17:52] can i somehow leave the windows boot loader and add ubuntu to it? [17:52] but it wont hurt windows, it just replaces the boot loader with grub [17:52] keyboard shortcut shows the right setting.. but no worky [17:52] flk, it's more difficult like that. === poorlinuxnoog is now known as poorlinuxnoob [17:53] id like to keep the windows efi loader since its a premade dell [17:53] even the workspace switch does not work when pick a running application on different workspace [17:53] flk, and since GRUB is maintained by ubuntu, that's what we support :) [17:53] flk, GRUB will take over and boot windows normally as it should, but in order to boot to other OS recognized by GRUB, you must replace the windows one first. [17:53] ok [17:53] something needs reset/restore .. lets hope I dont need to re-install ubuntu [17:53] help, I connected my windows 7 harddisk, and now I cannot access any files, under permission everything is set to "only owner" can I change this under ubuntu? [17:54] so the question now would be how to install grub to sda1? [17:54] poorlinuxnoob, you have to mount it with user permissions in fstab and chown the files [17:54] hi people! [17:54] i have a question [17:54] wheatthin: you mean just mount it with sudo? [17:54] i cannot hear any radio in amarok 2.x [17:54] flk, in the future, if you need to remove ubuntu, and want to windows boot loader back, then you must use windows recovery disk to recover windows boot loader. [17:55] poorlinuxnoob, if you want it to automatically mount, then you need to add it to /etc/fstab [17:55] I am currently using the generic kernel on a VM. I want to switch over to the linux-virtual kernel, however when I install the linux-virtual package the bootloader wont show the virtual kernel as an option or boot it. Any help? [17:55] with proper user permissions [17:55] no i just need it once for backup [17:55] ok, so then sudo -s and then do your backup as room. [17:55] root* [17:55] does someone know something about listening radio in amarok?? [17:55] DrManhattan: have you installed the "$-headers" package(s) as well? [17:56] eyfour, I have. It is part of the normal install [17:57] when I do a manual update-grub it gives me a menu option, but I need the boot menu to boot the virtual kernel by default [17:57] DrManhattan: Ah, sorry [17:57] DrManhattan: From what I remember, you can set this by editing GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub [17:57] !workspaces [17:57] !monitors [17:57] Sigh. [17:58] DrManhattan, http://askubuntu.com/questions/100232/how-do-i-change-the-grub-boot-order [17:59] wheatthin, I appreciate the help, but a gui app is not what I am looking for. [17:59] DrManhattan, obviously you didn't read the page. [17:59] I'm really surprised there's no easy way to split workspaces for multiple monitors. [18:00] is there a way at all? [18:00] Not that I know of. [18:00] idd [18:00] i was afk for a moment, can someone help me on installing grub to the /boot/efi partition (sda1)? [18:00] DrManhattan: On second thought, if you want to have outdated -virtual packages installed in addition to newer generic-packages, it's possible that grub might not let you simply select one the of the "previous" kernel versions with a number. Hmm.. [18:00] MonkeyDust: ? [18:01] !fixgrub|DrManhattan [18:01] DrManhattan: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[18:02] blueskaj, but i want it on sda1, thats my efi boot partition [18:02] flk. live media meaning you live ubuntu installation media [18:03] flk, like livedvd or usb [18:03] wheatthin, sorry? [18:03] yes wheatthin, i understand i have to boot with liveCD [18:03] :( [18:03] oh right... [18:04] DrManhattan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring_GRUB_2 [18:04] DrManhattan: Apparently, it can be done after all. See "Setting a Submenu entry as the default" on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Submenus [18:05] wheatthin, like thet? [18:05] flk. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting#Install_GRUB2_in_.28U.29EFI_systems [18:06] wheatthin, not sure why u highlight me :/ [18:07] how do I change chmod for a whole folder and all its subdirectories and files?? [18:07] find the files first [18:07] Safety_Dance, because sir, you were getting two different issues confused. One guy needs to repair/install grub... the next guy wants to change it's boot order. [18:07] let me try some of these, thank you! [18:08] that is detailed in the docs wheatthin (sir) [18:09] lol wow I give up. I was polite, and someone has to be rude.. go figure. === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek [18:10] Safety_Dance, but what you're not getting is you were specifying the wrong document to the wrong person with another GRUB issue. [18:11] Is lspci command equivelant to a registry view command for Windows? [18:11] After upgrading to 13.10, when I log in to my phpmyadmin from the machine it's hosted on, everything is fine, but when I log in from a remote location, I see error indicators next to all my databases, but it gives no information as to what errors anywhere I look, any help? [18:12] duxb: if nothing bad is happening, why worry? clear that systems' browser cache [18:13] wheatthin, everything is detailed in the documentation page [18:13] duxb: also i'm afraid phpmyadmin != ubuntu support [18:13] that i linked [18:13] I accidently deleted a file i moodified a few minutes aigo, is there a way to get it back? [18:13] go ahead and read it [18:13] daftykins: I tried #phpmyadmin, nobody's home [18:14] duxb: good things come to those who wait ^_^ [18:14] i havent tried before but, wouldnt super grub disk be appropriate for flk's issue, or is super grub disk outdated for uefi/windows 8 boot process wheatthin? [18:14] Eagleman: Probably not, no. [18:14] nightdemon666, I've never used super grub, so I cannot say. [18:15] wheatthin, what issue in particualr do you speak of that is not covered in the documentation that i linked sir [18:15] strange and kinda crappy that the linux-virtual package is behind the linux-generic. Is there any way to remove linux-generic from the system? I tried apt-get remove linux-generic and linux-image-generic =- neither worked [18:15] DrManhattan, cause neither are installed. [18:16] DrManhattan: do you want to remove a specific kernel, or prevent it installing a generic? [18:16] wheatthin, nonsense [18:16] daftykins, I want to remove the generic and stop it from installing in the future [18:16] DrManhattan, it's a virtual package linking to a different set of packages. [18:17] trying to install ubuntu on an 6yo pc, seems theres a problem with the mobo's ide interface (read errors with various burns, optical drives, ide cables), bios supports booting from usb devices but says 'invalid system disc' on various makes of bootable ubuntu usbs, i have one more idea, could i put an ubuntu iso on a 2nd hdd and install across to the other hdd from it? [18:17] wheatthin, ok, so how do I go about removing it? I want to use linux-virtual, and linux-virtual only [18:17] (have also just tried updating the bios, succeeded but no change on 'invalid system disc' message) [18:18] Richhh: 6 years old, hope you're not trying to use 13.10 standard [18:18] uhh yeah i was [18:18] Richhh, it should be possible if you install via UNETBOOTIN [18:18] Richhh: but yep if you made it bootable that may well work. how are you making your USB drives? [18:18] daftykins, my computer is 7 and runs it just fine :) [18:18] buu, there should be ways, right? [18:18] well lubuntu 13.10 [18:18] wheatthin: well i'm pleased for you, but this of course does not make it a rule [18:19] Richhh: oh good, not standard then. [18:19] How do I make vnc server only serve one monitor ? [18:19] (or an area? or something...) [18:19] lmat: i bet they have documentation for that ;) [18:19] daftykins: I've been looking. I'll keep looking if you think it's out there :) [18:19] i have no idea [18:20] lmat, by selecting the :1 tty port when starting the daemon [18:20] wheatthin: Thanks. You're talking about vino ? [18:20] I'm talking about vncserver in general. [18:20] daftykins nightdemon666 have tried usbcreater and unetbootin [18:20] wheatthin: okay. [18:20] creator* [18:20] Richhh: what's the host OS you're creating these with? [18:22] Richhh, you are setting the BIOS to boot from specific IDE drive right? [18:22] daftykins its 3GHz Celeron with 1GB RAM, GeForce 7600 GT [18:22] eww [18:22] daftykins windows 8 [18:22] severely memory challenged :) [18:23] its my grandads old pc, with an old but loved gfx card etc added to it [18:23] actually windows 8 runs great on tablets with small memory.

[18:23] wheatthin: i'm sorry but these statements of yours are utterly useless [18:23] so if they can run on something that minute, then. I'm sorry you feel that way [18:24] nightdemon666 im setting the boot order to usb-hdd first, if thats what u mean [18:24] i havent tried to install from a second hdd yet, but i guess thats possible [18:24] right? [18:25] seem so [18:25] seems [18:25] Richhh: tends to be better to use a boot menu than rely on boot prioerities, if there is one [18:26] i suggest loading the .iso to the 2nd internal ide drive (thats what you meant by 2nd hdd right?) via Unetbootin, then when booting from it on desktop, make sure that ide drive is set to boot first. Unetbootin bootloader "should" appear and allow you do boot into live environment... === pbx-lunch is now known as pbx [18:26] lol I give up.. people have no logic in here it seems. [18:26] though prepare for wonderful GRUB issues :D [18:26] wheatthin: what logic is this? :) [18:27] oh don't worry about it. It's offtopic remember? [18:27] ok daftykins and nightdemon666 [18:27] logic isn't off topic :( [18:28] anyone know of anything like this for Intel integrated? http://blog.linuxacademy.com/linux/ubuntu-and-multiple-monitors-amd-edition/ [18:28] Richhh, just make sure that GRUB is installed to the drive you plan to boot ubuntu from... are you intending to dual boot windows and ubuntu on that drive? [18:29] nightdemon666 no [18:29] Ziber: do you mean drivers? [18:30] first just install ubuntu on its own drive [18:30] maybe install windows on the 2nd drive later [18:30] The GUI shown there seems to do exactly what I want... but for AMD, rather than intel integrated. [18:30] when I run a program I get: error while loading shared libraries: libfoo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [18:30] it works fine if I do LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./myprogram [18:31] this is a brand new saucy installation; I thought /usr/local/lib was in the library path? [18:31] DrManhattan: Have you tried removing linux-headers-generic as well as the linux-image-generic package? This worked for me. Make sure you're able to boot from your virtual image before doing this, though. [18:31] ive tried, no luck [18:31] daftykins: The GUI there is capable of individual workspaces per monitor as I'm trying to achieve. [18:31] Richhh, just make sure GRUB gets installed to the drive ubuntu will be booting off of... example; you want to install to 1st hdd (/dev/sda) and you are booting from 2nd hdd to do that (/dev/sdb) make sure GRUB gets installed on /dev/sda. Just verify that before saying "ok" to installing the OS :) [18:32] eyfour, it says neither is installed, although they both are [18:33] Gents, I have a problem with the Terminus font, when I use it, it doesn't look like it's a bitmap font [18:34] DrManhattan: Really? Sorry, but in that case I'm out of ideas. As mentioned earlier, though, it appears you can get Grub to boot to a virtual image. [18:35] DrManhattan: ...as default [18:36] DrManhattan: it says neither is installed? Did you install them through apt? [18:36] How I overcome the SIS videocard issue? It's driving me mad. === Webbnix is now known as MattsTechUK [18:39] Is there any aptitude flag or something that can help checking if there are security updates? [18:39] Guys, when i try to get torrent file, firefox asks for me to choose an application? what should I do? ubuntu 13.04? [18:39] starnix just select a torrent application that you have installed, one such as Transmission [18:40] starnix: or, just save the file. then open it after with you torrent client. [18:40] DrManhattan: how about ditching the linux-virtual package, and then installing linux-image-virtual and linux-headers-virtual? Does update-grub list them now? I struggled with a very similar issue myself, and there was something about switching between the aforementioned installation methods that solved it in my case. [18:41] zykotick9, i cannot download the file it self, it asks me to choose the application... [18:42] queretaro, transmission is installed, it doesn't list in that... [18:43] starnix: through that file explorer window that opens up, navigate to /usr/bin and select it from there === wagle_ is now known as wagle [18:45] queretaro, thanks. [18:46] How do I overcome the sis videocard issue? [18:47] wheatthin: your suggestion (select :1 tty port when starting the daemon) seems very good and sounds promising, but I can't find this documented anywhere in vino-server (or thereabouts). [18:48] wheatthin: ps -ef | grep vino shows that it is started like this : vino-server --sm-disable [18:48] wheatthin: whoa [18:49] wheatthin: I obviously read the vino-server --help too fast, now I'm seeing lots more options (under saya --help-gtk, etc.) [18:49] wheatthin: I'll let you know if this doesn't lead anywhere :) [18:50] starnix: no probs [18:50] Is there any aptitude flag or something that can help checking if there are security updates? === JoshuaP-afk is now known as JoshuaP [18:52] queretaro sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade will get the latest available in the repos, you can do this whenever you want [18:52] MonkeyDust: I know, but I just want the security updates, no more no less [18:54] s === dean is now known as dean|away [18:59] Hi!

[19:33] <[twisti]> add a group to a group ? i dont understand [19:33] jhutchins_wk: It is important to note what I'm trying to do. Personally, I believe the error "cannot open display :1" because it probably doesn't exist. I only have one X server, and it's local. It was suggested that I could use :1 to just share one particular monitor. [19:34] <[twisti]> the annoying thing is that there is a script in /etc/init.d that is clearly meant to start dropbox with an optional user/group parameter, but i guess nautilus ignores it ? im unsure whats going on exactly behind the scenes [19:34] jhutchins_wk: All in all, I would like vnc server to just serve one monitor (or a region of the screen or whatever).

[19:54] FATnerd: an update that is running? [19:54] Guest16566: The USB is running ubuntu? [19:54] lmat: that's not a great idea [19:54] lmat: "admin : dling" [19:54] what? [19:55] reisio: Depends on what he wants [19:55] lmat: it doesn't :p [19:55] yes [19:55] Lockzi: I see... interesting. And the permission is still 777 ? [19:55] lmat: Yes [19:55] reisio: That's what I do when I freak out.. :P [19:55] Harmageddon: Hey I looked into it for you and its a very difficult issue with newer switchable graphics, here is some info on it you may want to check out but I don't think you will be able to get what you need until projects like Bumblebee are more mature [19:55] lmat: that doesn't make it a great idea :p [19:55] Harmageddon: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/hybrid_graphics#The_New_Dynamic_Switching_Model [19:55] reisio: touche [19:55] any takers on my regex sed question? [19:55] :p [19:55] peb7268: which question? [19:55] peb7268: learn the substitute syntax. [19:55] reisio: He has unescaped / in his sed s// [19:56] it works [19:56] peb7268: oh, nevermind, no problem then :) [19:56] Guest16566: assuming you are using the usb to boot on a windows machine, check out Linux Live USB Creator or search for another one that has Persistence [19:56] i used it on another deal [19:56] lmat: that's not enough information [19:56] the numbers or the slashes or spaces are killing the regex i think [19:56] see above resio ( pls and thanks ) :) [19:56] hi. i need help updating ubuntu 12.04 LTS :( update manager fails to download libpostproc52_0.8.8-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb. it is even missing in the repository!? http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libav/ [19:56] peb7268: the slashes. Do you know what the slashes mean in sed s? [19:56] Lockzi: hmm [19:56] yeah I know what the beginning and ending slashes mean [19:57] Lockzi: If a file is part of group A, mod 777, and user B is member of group A, user B should be able to read the file. [19:57] sudo sed -i -e 's/listen = 127.0.0.1:9000/listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock/g' /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf [19:57] cynicist: Thank you! I'll look into this. Do you think, that my chances are better on Ubuntu 12.04 or xubuntu? Or should I just wait, until bumblebee works for me? [19:57] peb7268: Any other slashes screw it up and must be preceeded by \ [19:57] right [19:57] Buy Windows. [19:57] peb7268: So do it :) [19:57] BarackObama_X: good idea [19:57] lmat: The problem is not reading. All users can read... But they can't create new files and not edit existing... [19:57] BarackObama_X: PLease stop that [19:57] I knew that, just didnt know if I need to escape slashes, spaces, equals and dots or just the slashes and . [19:58] does anyone know why that lib is missing and how i can update my security patches now? [19:58] I know in regex . is a quantifier usually [19:58] Lockzi: So... touch file doesn't work ? [19:58] lmat: Exactly [19:58] peb7268: Oh yeah, if you want to be more strict, use \. [19:58] Sir yes sir! [19:58] Harmageddon: Either one will have the same issues, the support for switchable graphics is just too new in the Linux world at the moment. [19:58] Lockzi: Very odd, very odd. [19:58] lmat: touch is even what I am trying... [19:58] Lockzi: It's busted. [19:58] Ok, im going to try escaping everything haha [19:58] Harmageddon: so use whichever you enjoy more :) [19:58] peb7268: Probably should escape the slashes first... [19:59] so spaces are fine? [19:59] thanks lmat . rm -rf solved the problem [19:59] peb7268: inside '' yes [19:59] cool [19:59] um I didn't offer that... [19:59] cynicist: Well, if I don't see anything, I'm not enjoying much. Console login seems to look pretty much the same for different versions ;) [19:59] thanks so much [19:59] that did it looks like [19:59] quit [20:00] Harmageddon: oh wait what? I thought your issue was just not being able to turn off a gpu, you can't even boot? [20:00] cynicist: Exactly :( [20:00] Harmageddon: Was this always an issue or did something break a working install? [20:00] hi all .. ubuntu "stable" is based in the debian unstable? [20:00] Dudytz: How would you do it ? [20:00] Dudytz: Ubuntu doesn't have a stable [20:00] Dudytz: but yes Ubuntu is based on not-stable versions of Debian [20:00] cynicist: I managed to boot the install CD once, with nomodeset. Installation worked fine, but since then, when I'm starting it normally, it doesn't work. [20:01] not-"stable" [20:01] reisio: Welcome back :) [20:01] lmat: I pressed the wrong key combo :p [20:01] a debian unstable installing (with gnome desktop) is very similar to ubuntu gnome 13.10? [20:01] reisio: oh, good, you didn't give sudo poweroff a whirl :P [20:02] hahah [20:02] Dudytz: yes that would be true [20:03] Dudytz, there are a few differences, like ubuntu using upstart instead of sysv [20:03] for example* [20:05] exit [20:07] Dudytz planning to create another ubuntu derivative? [20:08] no! LoL ... plan to migrate from ubuntu to debian [20:08] or to ubuntu gnome [20:08] Dudytz: Because you need to use older software? ;) [20:09] no, because I don't like unity [20:09] and I use desktop via x forwarding in a lxc container [20:09] Dudytz install other DE, logout, switch, login [20:09] and is very problematic to install the ubuntu from minimal and install gnome without the unity things [20:10] (sorry my bad english) [20:10] Dudytz: Why is it a problem? [20:10] !mini [20:10] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:10] Sometimes people PM me and it's days before I even notice the new tab. [20:11] jhutchins_wk: you can probably make irssi yell more, if you wanted to [20:11] see #irssi [20:12] reisio: I really don't. [20:12] :) [20:12] reisio: I don't mind PMs, but they end up being pointless. [20:12] * topper4125 only uses Mini [20:12] ... which is one of the reasons I don't mind them. [20:12] I prefer /notice's, but most people don't know about them [20:13] ok .. I have been installed ubuntu saucy (using minimal cd) ... I install ubuntu-gnome-desktop and gdm ... but when I run gnome-session in the x forwarding, I see the unity desktop, how to change to gnome? [20:13] actually what I _really_ prefer is people who get upset at reading IRC messages to either learn how to use /ignore or to leave :p [20:13] but since that'll never happen, I use /notice and /msg to say certain things privately [20:13] Dudytz, log out, click the 'lil icon next to your name on the login screen, select DE of your choice [20:14] I don't have the login manager [20:14] is a X forwarding via a ssh logged with the correct user [20:14] I need only to start the desktop [20:14] but, when I run gnome-session, the desktop manager that is executed is the unity [20:15] Dudytz: Then start another desktop. [20:15] is there a configuration file to set the gnome as the default dm? [20:15] Dudytz unity a shell over gnome3 [20:15] great, how to disable it? [20:15] and set the "pure" gnome3 [20:17] Dudytz find gnome-shell [20:17] Dudytz, gnome classic or gnome shell is the one you want? [20:17] gnome-shell [20:17] is just the command that I execute [20:18] http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg [20:19] Dudytz does gnome-shell suit you, is your issue solved? [20:22] no, when I start gnome-shell .. I see the unity dm [20:23] is there a to swap back all that's been swapped out of the RAM? [20:23] *a way [20:23] sudo swapoff [20:24] and to reenable it right away? [20:24] https://www.jungledisk.com/business/server/features/ can I use it to mirror entire server? [20:24] wonders [20:26] Hello. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. My story is a bit long so I wrote it there. Thanks! http://paste.ubuntu.com/6422985/ [20:26] funky: Ask them. I'm not sure why you think we'd know about some third party tool. [20:26] Pici well its very popular tool [20:26] Extra info : Ubuntu is the only OS on this computer. [20:26] or was [20:26] so I think someone probably used it [20:27] funky: It has nothing to do with Ubuntu support. You should contact rackspace for questions: https://support.jungledisk.com/home [20:28] Pici dude its related to ubuntu [20:28] as it helps many ubuntu users to back up their servers [20:28] :P [20:29] why do i have a chinese ip address trying to ssh my server? [20:29] olf-folks: why wouldn't you [20:29] olf-folks: welcome to the internet [20:29] also have you been outside today? You might bein China [20:30] ! [20:30] old-folks : Have fun with a honeypot [20:31] can anyone look at this pcap file and tell me if they were trying to connect or if they were activly doing something on my server? [20:31] olf-folks: Probably just trying to login. Thats what happens when you have a server on the internet. Check your auth.log and perhaps install fail2ban or a similar package. [20:36] wow, apparently yeah there has been about 8000 attempts to break in to my root acct via ssh [20:37] all diffrent ips lol === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] [20:37] olf-folks: disabling the ability to ssh in as root isn't the worst idea [20:37] other than that, people are going to try to break into your server, always [20:37] you can force them to at least go through the effort of finding another IP to try with, though [20:38] with things like fail2ban [20:38] won't stop it, but makes it less noisy [20:40] reisio: i have a 22 char alpha numric root password hahaha [20:41] olf-folks: so you have a bad root password [20:41] olf-folks: http://xkcd.com/936/ [20:41] olf-folks: Then at least disable root login from ssh. [20:41] olf-folks: If you run sshd on 22 you get brute force attacks. Law of the internet. [20:42] you get them regardless [20:42] In any case you should refrain from giving such information about your password. [20:42] no that was smart [20:42] now he knows he chose his password badly [20:43] olf-folks: The only effective thing left to do is to run it on an obscure port, and they're catching on to that too. [20:44] olf-folks: fail2ban and throttling worked until they started doing low-speed distributed attacks. They come from a lot of different IPs and aren't repeated often enough to get banned. [20:45] yeah the log showed them changeing the port every attempt [20:46] i would estimate aronund 10k failed attempts to login [20:46] what is so important that you need a server is my question [20:47] hi, my server was in the middle of a 'resize2fs' call when it suddenly became unreachable. SSHing accepts username and password, but nothing happens after that. I can connect to it through IPMI but when I log I only get the "last login from " header, and nothing else; could this be caused by the resize2fs operation? and if so, I guess that rebooting at this time would be a bad idea? [20:47] soczol: if this happened to me I'd leave it alone for a while. I get the feeling it's chugging away and getting hung up on disk IO. [20:48] also I really hope you did that inside tmux/screen/byobu/something. [20:48] drwxrws---+ 944 administrator dling 0 Nov 7 12:20 movies - What does the + in the permissions mean? [20:49] Nach0z: yeah.. I really should have, but I noticed way too late that it was taking so long, and aborting it at that point was not an option (if possible at all) :( [20:51] yeah >___> [20:51] Nach0z: guess I'll just keep it running then, and hope for the best; I do have a quite recent backup, but still, would rather not want to go to the trouble to restore it === Mars is now known as Guest74546 [20:51] I guess rebooting it at this point would probably break it even more [20:51] my log shows that amazon was trying to ssh into my server xD [20:51] yeah the one thing I've learned in all my server everything, is to make sure that any operations that take more than about a minute to run should be done in tmux [20:52] hello everybody [20:57] Hey guys. I'm sure what I've done but I can't log in via SSH. It refuses my password that works locally. [20:57] *I'm -not- sure. :P [20:58] oh, Ubuntu Server 13.04 btw [21:00] jimgroth: try to delete ssh folder ( rm .ssh -R) [21:01] John20: How should that help? [21:02] John20: that -R is in the wrong place... and probably NOT a great thing to be doing. jimgroth [21:02] thanks but I already noticed the recursive rm. ^^ [21:02] Always makes me go "hmm" [21:02] maybe bad configuration? sorry if i typed something bad [21:02] what dose this mean [21:02] Nov 14 14:17:01 ubuntu CRON[7206]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) [21:02] John20: that would remove all of the user's ssh keys, which would be bad. [21:03] would matter not on this machine. :P [21:03] olf-folks: it means that one of root's cron job's just ran. [21:03] Hi, I need help installing ubuntu, is it ok to ask? [21:03] Siper: thats what this channel is for. [21:04] !ask | Siper [21:04] Siper: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:04] Ah, great. Well I'd like to know whats the easiest way to go about installing ubuntu on an external harddrive. I want it to act like the full OS though. [21:04] John20: well the -R at the end does still work (my bad). I figured it would try looking for a "-R" to remove. [21:05] I'm on a windows OS atm. [21:05] zykotick9: Maybe to move .ssh to .sshbackup would be better, but that was my quick and dirty idea.^^ [21:05] John20: for sure! [21:08] [21:09] Siper, A external will run slow a bit chunky, a usb flash would run better. [21:10] Siper, However ai neglected to ask is this a usb2 or usb3? [21:10] I* [21:10] I only have usb 2 on this laptop sadly === carmelo is now known as Guest89334 [21:11] Siper, Di you understand the general speed reading/writing differences between a internal and external [21:11] Do* [21:11] Hello. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. My story is a bit long so I wrote it there. Thanks! http://paste.ubuntu.com/6422985/ [21:11] Yes I do [21:12] Siper, A virtual install would be better, however ubuntu in a virtual is a bit slow as well. [21:12] wilee-nilee: For me, it isnt. [21:12] if i wanted to format/reinstall but wanted to keep my openbox/conky/terminator/etc configuration [21:13] bekks, Cool, I suppose there are variables in this, just trying to help. [21:13] wilee-nilee: Yeah, no offense meant :) [21:14] well I don't want to partition the internal drive, and computer has 32bit windows but supports 64 bit.. I thought maybe installing ubuntu on an external drive to get bit more performance out of my computer [21:14] bekks, No problem any input is good. ;) [21:14] Siper, Is this a oem windows? [21:14] can i just copy my home dir to an exthd, reinstall then paste it back in? [21:14] oem? [21:15] Siper, Original Manufacturer Install. [21:15] I'm not sure but it's capping out ram at 3gb [21:15] which package has `scp` command? Some reason it's on on my system :( [21:16] Siper: 32bit windows have an unusable RAM window of about 768M above 3GB. [21:16] edoceo: should be openssh-client [21:16] Yeah, :s [21:16] Siper, I have a toshiba laptop with 3 gigs ram a dual core about 5 yeras old, I have W8.1 64 bit and 3 Linux on it with a SSD it runs pretty fast, however I don't overdrive its use. [21:16] all installs are 64 bit [21:17] ls [21:17] wc :P [21:18] Siper, What I am wondering is can you reinstall the windows as a 64 bit and dual boot the ubuntu, or really for best use the ubuntu just dualbooted now, it's rather easy if you have the room. [21:18] Ah darnit, tripped on my adapter [21:19] Siper_, The external install is just using the manual install from the live cd/usb we can help you do it, but just wondering if that is really your bets option is all. [21:20] best* [21:20] Well I think it's my only option right now [21:20] Siper_, In what way? [21:21] Siper_, It may just be a waste of time, we see people having problems here is all. [21:23] THe 32 bit Ubuntu has pae kernels that will use all 3 gigs as well now [21:25] My laptop supports 64 bit [21:25] 32 or 64 gb ram with 32 bit pae i think : the same as windows servers [21:25] ah sorry [21:25] of course you still have the process limit [21:26] that's just total memory [21:26] (Someone was saying 32 bit windows was limited to 4GB, that's not actually true: it only applies to desktop versions of windows) [21:26] Siper, Yes you said that, how is that causing you to want a external, it will not make better use or run better in realtion to the computer as a 64 bit or a external [21:27] moppy: Its not true at all, since using PAE works on Desktop versions too. [21:28] If you activate it only. It's not on by default. I believe it's nly available for vista+ too. [21:28] bekks, windows desktop OS has PAE yes, but they programmed in an artifical memory cap (probably to make people upgrade). Win servers dont have that cap) [21:28] FlashSoul: Yes. [21:28] Siper, i dont see any advantage to 64 bit for you at the moment [21:28] moppy: 32bit versions of Windows Servers do have the same gap. === pd0x\explodes is now known as PaRaD0xx [21:29] I see, I got your last message wilee-nilee, and moppy. [21:29] I think I'll skip on the idea then [21:29] bekks, no they dont: they can address 32+ GB. You're welcome to check their specs if you wish [21:29] thanks! [21:29] Siper: When having 64bit hw, using 64bit OS is the way to go. [21:29] moppy: I do know them, thats why I said "no" ;) [21:30] well i can't parse your current statements as they seem contradictory :) [21:30] maybe i am just dumb [21:30] how many giga average ubuntu server takes? [21:30] funky on disk? [21:30] yes [21:30] funky, i did a minium install on an 8GB VM and it had 4.5 free after installing [21:30] I am copying entire server and it shows 128 TB so far [21:30] like wtf [21:30] :) [21:30] funky, your mileage may vary [21:31] I think its 3rd party tool bug [21:31] FlashSoul: Then leave out /proc/kmem ;) === Siper_ is now known as Siper === JoshuaP is now known as JoshuaP-afk [21:31] it would bo be able to mirror 128 TB in 3 min anyway [21:31] not [21:34] hi people [21:36] hi, lover [21:36] hi reisio [21:36] i m new to this haa XD [21:37] :) [21:37] so anyone knows how to crack mikrotik networks ? [21:37] LOvER: you're in the wrong place for that. [21:38] so what is the right place ? [21:38] LOvER: nowhere on freenode. [21:38] and what is the main goal of this chatting app?

[21:41] I like hacking too :) [21:42] SamSagaZ, gnome underlies unity and several of the other desktops, you are not actually using it directly unless you install the shell. [21:42] * jimgroth scrolls back up. Sounds like I missed some drama. ^^ [21:42] chinese are ok at cracking aka copy cats :) [21:42] dont want to get space wasted. [21:42] xubuntu packages are the same as ubuntu? [21:43] Are you looking for a tiny ubuntu install or what? [21:43] SamSagaZ, I doubt you know at all what your doing and have a false goal to be honest. [21:43] xubuntu is ubuntu with Xfce installed by default [21:43] SamSagaZ: it provides xfce instead of gnome/unity. [21:43] thanks guys [21:43] will install xubuntu then! [21:44] I kind of like lubuntu. Feels... petite. [21:44] a net install is t5he smallest if you build the desktop [21:44] yeah, will use net install [21:45] hi, can I ask about an issue I'm having with Lubuntu in here? Ubuntu can see my one windows share just fine, but I get "failed to mount windows share" on the Lubuntu I just installed on my laptop. [21:45] I installed Samba, thought that might the problem, still nothing [21:45] not sure I have it configured correctly [21:46] I think Samba is installed together with lubuntu [21:46] PaRaD0xx: did it tell you to run "dmesg | tail" to get more info on the error? [21:48] no, it did not [21:48] PaRaD0xx: can you do so? [21:48] I can see the shares, just can't connect [21:48] ok [21:48] SamSagaZ, So with the net install you can build a simple de or use a really light one. [21:48] PaRaD0xx: make sure smbfs and smbclient are installed. you can use smbclient to connect CLI style to see if there's an issue there [21:50] hmm..dont' see anything in the dmesg...ofc, not sure what to look for, very new at this [21:51] what ia the package name of gnome classic and gnome shell? [21:51] k, smbclient installed [21:52] !nounity | DeepBlue [21:52] DeepBlue: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty?

[22:05] ok, i'll check that out and let you know how it goes ;) [22:05] SamSagaZ: No, Xubuntu is a min resorces version of ubuntu, Ubuntu is the full tilt, and debian is what is the root distro of thoes two each behave differently [22:05] thanks [22:06] PaRaD0xx: oh and if it still causes trouble, try recreating a share without spaces in the name :) [22:06] ok. [22:07] SamSagaZ: Think Debian, Ubuntu then tweaks and changes Debian, Xubuntu takes Ubuntu, yanks out Unity, puts on XFCE [22:07] 'Xfce' [22:08] Hello.

I keep getting failed to execute grub-install on /dev/sdb. which log file do I consult to find out why [22:10] rebooting it [22:11] dougl: hrmm it's not very descriptive is it? can you pastebin the output of "tail /var/log/dpkg.log" ? [22:11] see if that does anything [22:11] FlashSoul: I'm not really sure, but I had a similar problem and loaded into a live distro and downloaded the tool boot-repair. It worked for me. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:12] hrm, nothin [22:12] still nothin daftykins [22:12] PaRaD0xx: is that with a share without spaces in the name too?

You can read it in the link I gave. [22:13] How do I get Gnome-Terminal to show what program or directory I'm in? Even if I ssh to another computer?

[22:15] I can see it but it won't mount. [22:15] * davidfetter_disq has heard of it, but no actual info other than its existence [22:16] daftykins, so "apt-get remove grub-efi-amd64-signed"? and the tail command = http://pastebin.com/gFW8zzgB which does not look any more informative [22:16] hmmm... you might have to manually mount it through the terminal.

I was working, out of the blue, boom.. I traced the problem to either the PDO module, or libapache-mod-php5.. The latter, I'm not sure because I first noticed the segfaults on CLI. I tried reboot, reinstall, but when I tried to purge the packages, I got lots of errors on libapache-mod-php5. Status right now is that I cannot apt-get purge libapache2-mod- [22:18] php5 php5, it errors with "ERROR: Module php5 does not exist!" and then it dies. Anybody here know what I could do besides a complete reinstall which is not really an option for me at this (kinda critical, i have people waiting for my work which I cannot finish now) moment? [22:19] Also when it hangs the hard drive indicator shows no activity [22:19] daftykins, worked just as you read... exits clean now - thanks again :) [22:20] dougl: my pleasure - just be sure to run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to make sure there's nothing else to go on before you try a reboot === pulsar78 is now known as pulsar78_afk [22:20] The only possibly relevant thing I can think of is that a few weeks ago I enabled 32 bit packages (I have 64 bit install), which I remember was required for something I needed to install back then.. I don't know if its relevant, but I also do not recall how to disable this.. Does anybody know how to disable 32 bit repo?

[22:35] I feel silly [22:35] thanks tho ;) [22:37] I guess when I rebooted some reason it connected to a different wifi [22:38] PaRaD0xx: XD [22:38] PaRaD0xx: all working now? [22:39] yeah [22:39] <---feels like an idiot [22:39] sorry bout that [22:40] didn't have that issue on the desktop cuz it's wired [22:40] is there an easy way to record all packages that were installed via apt-get so that i can quickly get a similar configuration on a freshly installed os?

I was thinking a preconfigured build like tthe server edition would save me headaches [22:46] Jebus u got to specify right package name [22:46] for it to find it [22:46] tasksel is a big help [22:46] adb devices is returning : no permissions on an android phone connected by usb. articles online claim udev is not able to recognize the permissions. I can get info by using udevadm but, creating a file in /etc/udev/rules.d does not change the permissions as it should. What is stopping the permissions from being applied? [22:47] server is a striped down Ubuntu with optimized kernal, its not suposed to be used as a desktop replacement [22:48] you literly boot to a prompt with no Gui, and build from there [22:48] sounds a bit past my skill level. i could dual boot my desktop tho [22:49] itanshi: what is it your looking to do (with what hardware) [22:49] anyone know's how to configure Armitage? [22:50] I'd like to run wordpress on my local machine. I dont get autoupdates without ftp access. Not sure why getting ftp setup on my local machine has been a headache [22:50] i've 12.10 on modest hardware. 2gig ram, 80gig ssd, .9 ghz intel, integrated graphics [22:50] Runing a webserver on your desktop (Doesnt know much about wordpress other than it runs on a web server) [22:51] i have lamp setup, runs fine [22:51] just no ftp [22:51] itanshi, have you tried setting up ftp from vsftpd? [22:51] I havent set up ftp, or secure ftp yet. [22:51] couple times yes [22:52] seems they changed their code between 12.04 and 12.10 [22:52] instructions are unclear [22:52] itanshi, did you upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10, or was the computer installed starting at 12.10? [22:52] upgrade === Mars is now known as Guest1054 [22:53] i may do a reformat to 13.10 sometime this year [22:53] itanshi, upgrading is bad luck [22:53] so, you'd reccomend to go forward with reformat to latest [22:54] Definitely a roll of the dice :) [22:54] i've avoided the 13.04 kernel, heard about hangups on install [22:54] I recommend maintaining your personal files and settings separate so you can back them up and do fresh installs when upgrading [22:55] i can backup fine [22:55] * CormacMcFionn agrees with anon12, lost my #2 drive, stuck with a one HD system and USB drives [22:56] hmm so partition the root user separate from the rest [22:56] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade always mangles my hdd [22:56] itanshi, yep [22:56] the last one went fine, but one before borked my screen [22:57] well thanks for the support. Anecdotaly, I've royaly messed up an old build with an nvidia driver [22:57] just retired the tower, got a nice one [22:58] itanshi, I managed to install a nvidia driver on an ATI desktop system by ssh from the desktop out to another computer before [22:58] cool [22:58] it should not had been possible [22:59] the shell seemed to had run the command on both systems [23:00] eww [23:00] anyone familiar with setting permissions in udev? === pulsar78_afk is now known as pulsar78 [23:05] what are people here using for groupware? The problem is not a shortage, but an overabundance to choose from. Anyone using anything like zimbra, citadel, egroupware or others? [23:06] For ubuntu 12.04 of course [23:07] is this thing on? [23:07] depends on what you want to do with groupware [23:08] CormacMcFionn: Everything! [23:08] Then I use Ubuntu :P [23:09] CormacMcFionn: chat, email, videoconferencing, data sharing, etc. etc. all web based. Open source, free. [23:10] citadel seems to have most of it... but I didn't see videoconferencing [23:10] gnome-xchat for chat, Gmail for emale, Hangouts for video confranceing, samba for data shareing localy, ubuntu one for across internet :) [23:10] It needs to all be integrated into one web based interface. [23:10] Google then :) [23:10] And google products aren't opensource [23:11] Well if you want free as in no money all under one roof, google is the least evil [23:11] well you can use squirrel mail and thunderbird [23:12] Those aren't groupware as far as i know [23:12] you can use them to access groupware [23:12] group ware is kind of an outdated concept these days [23:12] sorta [23:13] CormacMcFionn: how so? [23:13] there's one i'm trying to remmeber that is well liked [23:13] I use the term because it seems to include most of what I want. [23:13] most people solve particular needs with specific programs tailored to fit there needs. Group ware was a marketing ploy bundling programs together [23:13] Hi everyone. [23:14] Yes, but the bundle is what I seek... all integrated, functioning together with a web based interface. [23:14] client console then [23:14] I wanted to upgrade from 12.04LTS to a new long term support distro and was wondering if you guys would be able to recommend one. [23:14] apb1963, every google product has a backdoor and way to track you [23:15] itanshi: I presume you mean a portal that will allow the launching of separate programs [23:15] as I said, out dated, busness are so unique these days people have moved away from bundling [23:15] amazon has one coming out called workstations [23:15] anon12: There are numerous reasons why I don't like google, that's just one. [23:15] backdoor is a difficult term to swallow [23:15] itanshi: Is it open source? [23:15] its more like all of their traffic is sniffed [23:15] cliff: 12.04vis the cirrent LTS [23:15] current [23:16] apb1963, Google also fails to see the value in true world domination like Microsoft does [23:16] all internet traffic is sniffed by someone [23:16] yeah i've learned to love the b-bomb long time ago [23:16] anon12: I disagree... but that's a different conversation I really don't want to get into at this time. [23:16] I gotta go see you later [23:17] that's not good. [23:17] asana was the softwar eiw as thinking of [23:18] Thank NSA for that :) [23:18] cliff: if im not mistaken 12.04 is still "long term" as far as security updates and such . just not software. [23:18] OK, let me rephrase the question... I'm looking more for a BBS type, webcam, chat, forum and file sharing piece of software... all web based.... and opensource/free. [23:18] Notes, calendars, email included. [23:18] hi is there any ubuntu off topic channel [23:18] :) [23:18] And by notes I mean sticky notes [23:19] Dont know of any single program that does all that [23:19] wow ubuntu really fly in my new laptop [23:19] it boot so fast [23:19] adios to windows [23:19] This is getting trick now. The reason I wanted to install libusbmux2 and it looks like it is not compatible with 12.04LTS [23:19] I'd be happy if it had plugins [23:19] Can you guys think of a work around? [23:20] btw anyone wanna join our humble coder hacker team ##0x71 ? [23:20] itanshi: Thanks, I'll take a look at asana... maybe it's the cure [23:20] cliff: download the source and compile it yourself [23:20] no satan church nor hater of Jesus Christ nor 0x81 [23:20] i think sublime is finally compatible with evernote [23:21] i'll give it a try. [23:21] Thanks [23:23] itanshi: Looks interesting... but it appears more like a project management type software which while definitely useful.... isn't quite what I had in mind. [23:23] k [23:25] express.paltalk.com is a vague, half-hearted attempt at what I want... but it has some of the basics. [23:27] guys what is ide or text editor for c and perl [23:27] It has the videoconferencing, chat & forums features, email... I think it has the data sharing but not sure. It lacks the calendar, sticky notes and most of all... I have no idea where to get the source code for it. [23:27] guys what is ide for text editor for c and perl [23:27] It's probably proprietary. [23:27] notepad [23:27] terminal [23:28] You have to understand... it's going to be used by non-technical users... so it all needs to be simple... and integrated. [23:28] there's no dedicated one, most will work, sublime and gedit have color coding [23:28] netbeans will work too [23:28] ok, well thanks for your suggestions anyway you all. :) [23:29] yeah i'd have to delve into software comparisons to find more info, apb [23:29] hello [23:29] just trying to install the entire developer suite for wordpress on local host atm [23:29] yeah, I understand [23:29] ah southpark fan [23:29] shoudln't you be in line? [23:30] :D [23:30] hehe [23:31] In case anyone is on the same quest.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collaborative_software [23:31] There's buttloads there. too much. [23:34] is it possible to tunnel the built in desktop sharing through ssh? [23:34] pretty sure [23:35] because security options only ask for a password [23:36] oh crap my bad [23:37] found the info... the title mislead me [23:37] had vnc on it [23:41] hi, i have a tv tuner card, a Theater 550 Pro and i cant get it to work with ubuntu [23:42] this says it's not yet supported but i dont know if this is up to date: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI/AMD [23:43] i tried gatos but it didnt find my card: http://gatos.sourceforge.net/supported_cards.php === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:47] rodney77, I would try and contact people would actually know if you get no help here, or buy a supported card. [23:47] who* === _gcx is now known as gcx [23:47] rodney77: Do 'lsmod' in a terminal once. Do you have anything similar like this 'cx2388x' loaded? [23:48] sort of 3rd party all the way through. [23:48] minimec, 1sec [23:49] minimec, no [23:53] rodney77: Older TV cards used the 'bttv' driver; newer once the 'cx88'; some (with hardware encocoder) the 'ittv' driver. Also I found a link that lists it as unsouuprted. Also there is a thread (2006!) on a mailinglist... http://www.spinics.net/lists/vfl/msg28950.html [23:54] anyone else having issues connecting to ppa.launchpad.net for updates? [23:54] schultza: make sure that PPA is fine [23:55] rodney77: I am not very optimistic for that card. On the other hand, it should be easy to find an analog TV card that uses the bttv driver. Just have a look on ebay. They should be rather cheap. [23:55] Hi does anyone know and help me to guide me trough to network manager removal and changing ssid name? [23:55] schultza: They are struggeling for almost a week now... [23:55] too much activity? [23:56] tgus would be due the the wireless problem on my 12.04 lte which keeps more not working than working. [23:56] schultza: I think it started with a 'blackout' [23:56] minimec, thanks for the tip. I guess i'll give up on this card and look for a new one... unless it's worth trying the bttv driver anyway [23:56] and its not just one of my ppa, all of them are not working from that location... before they were working. so im assuming there is either a change or a falt on their end [23:56] ouch. computers and blackouts suck [23:57] who did the blackout on launchpad? maybe too much watching of the tv series "revolution" :) [23:58] debian [23:58] this: http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/blob/HEAD:/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv lists ati tv-wonder. lspci lists this: Multimedia controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Theater 550 PRO PCI [ATI TV Wonder 550] (minimec) [23:59] arent they under the same umbrella?
