[00:03] hey everyone.. i'm trying to setup a server with deluged,couchpotato and sabnzbd. got most of it working but i'm running all of this form vmware. Because i wanted ot save all downloaded files locally on my windows PC i tried connecting to a share and thought i set all permissions correctly but permission is still denied to deluged saving to it. i am able to save to it manually.

[00:08] even if it was a laptop there could be how much space someone has in a backpack [00:08] ademoglu: not saying it's bad you're just going to elicit a lot of opinion and probably few facts, and the nature of the question begs another question, what are you using it for and what do you want to be best about it?

[01:07] yes [01:07] we6jbo all on the same OS? or 3 different OSes or something [01:08] noideas: And what is your end goal? Why do you want such a file? [01:08] Is there a way to play a .MOV on an Ubuntu application ? It's a QuickTime File Format and VLC says No . Any ideas ? File = 2.2 GB [01:08] FuuqUmist: It would be Ubuntu 13 on a Dell OptiPlex 320 and then I'd want to share that one system with three different users [01:09] Jordan_U: to make sure The scopes on both DHCP servers have the same information [01:09] FuuqUmist: So I'd have a monitor and a keyboard in three rooms and then they'd all login to the Ubuntu 13 system [01:09] Kality: What error message does VLC give? Please pastebin the output of "file /path/to/video.mov"? [01:10] we6jbo i think just hook up the monitors and keyboards [01:10] hi there [01:10] I'm googling and I see people have done it but I'm not sure exactly how [01:11] Jordan_U, I don't know how to-do that ? Pls explain the file path thingy , to mees . [01:11] noideas: To get such an output I expect that you will need to make a full script, bash, python, or otherwise, rather than just use options to standard commands. [01:12] we6jbo do you want everyone to control the same document or something at the same time? or for each person to have their own personal session or something? [01:12] hey all [01:13] because i'm sure if you connect 10 keyboards are the same thing they will all work at the same thing automatically, same with monitors showing the exact same display image [01:13] FuuqUmist: It would be different tasks. One user might be playing a video game, another might be checking email and a 3rd might be printing a writer document [01:13] oh [01:13] Jordan_U, way over my head ... I just get 'sound' without picture .. it plays but - there be no picture . [01:13] Jordan_U: I though i might have to go that route. Would you be able to point me in a direction in attempts to accomplish my request?

[01:14] we6jbo if you fine out let me know, that sounds cool being able to do that with just one computer [01:14] my vncviewer is gone. Can anyone help me? [01:14] find* [01:14] sound in my system 100% working) [01:15] SchrodingersScat: That looks similar to what I'm looking for. Let me read a little more [01:17] we6jbo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClients in case that really is what you are looking for. === winegoddess_ is now known as winegoddess [01:19] Danato, I'm not sure where is the bin/bash and how are you trying to use it, I ran that chroot and had another OS on the hd set its grub to the mbr and updated it. [01:19] SchrodingersScat: Ok I read through the webpage. It's close to what I'm looking for. I do want the power of a desktop tower on each of the systems. I'm using a chromebook so I know that's not something I want [01:19] Kality: Does VLC give you any error message? [01:19] no [01:20] SchrodingersScat can you game or do intensive things with a thin client setup? [01:21] FuuqUmist: never had one of my own, can't say. [01:22] Kality: If you select Tools> Codec Information, what codec does VLC is used for the video in the file? [01:23] wilee-nilee: sorry I meant '/bin/bash'. I want to reinstall bash because it doea work, so they told me to chmod into the system and reinstal it. I followed the steps given in the tutorial I gave you and found that error [01:23] sorry guys, how comes i cant see previous a freeze with /var/log/syslog ? [01:23] SchrodingersScat: This is what I'm imaginging though I don't know if this would work. The Dell OptiPlex 320 system that I currently have would have three video cards for each user. The video signal would then be converted wirelessly to monitors in different parts of a building. The keyboard/mouse could run on it's own wireless signal somehow. Then each keyboard/mouse and monitor would have it's own desktop and home folder in addition to bei [01:23] Danato: Please pastebin the contents of /proc/mounts. [01:23] I can only see stuff from after the reboot [01:23] wafflejock you think its worth installing the ubuntu 64 bit on the dell inspiron 1526 when its only got 2GB of ram but can go up to 4GB? [01:24] wafflejock or should i stay on the 32 bit [01:24] Danato, Any command given for reinstalling bash, never had to do it, you are root there no sudo. [01:24] we6jbo: sounds above my pay grade. [01:25] Jordan_U: I cant, im on my phone [01:25] is it worth installing the ubuntu 64 bit on the dell inspiron 1526 when its only got 2GB of ram but can go up to 4GB? [01:25] My screen just went dim :( [01:25] Eliyahu, Should be fine, bump the ram if you can. [01:25] Eliyahu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [01:26] SchrodingersScat: Well it would be the price of three video cards and whatever drives the wireless signal plus three monitors and keyboards. I don't know if that would work or not [01:26] wilee-nilee: sorry I ddnt get your point [01:26] wafflejock its wise to upgrade to the 64 regardless then because it can process more right? [01:27] Eliyahu: agree with wilee-nilee 64-bit should be fine and is recommended on that page I've been using 64-bit builds for a bit and haven't had any problems really getting software or anything [01:27] it uses more ram for base [01:27] we6jbo: how to get the multiple users on there is what I don't understand how you will accomplish. [01:27] Eliyahu: yeah, 64-bit will be fine. It doesn't use much more ram than 32-bit version, some apps run a little faster and it's well enough supported now that there's really no reason not to. [01:27] Danato: Check the line in /proc/mounts relating to /mnt/tmp/ and see if it contains the mount option "noexec". [01:27] Eliyahu: it will generally get all the advantages of the architecture changes in 64bit vs 32 [01:27] SchrodingersScat: I don't know either. That's what I'm trying to research and find out [01:27] jaydubzy thanks :D [01:27] wafflejock thanks :D [01:28] I don't think 64 bit vs 32 bit is that much difference if you have enough ram [01:28] Hey there! I have a question: I upgraded to 13.10 today (don't know if it came out today) and when I started up my laptop, I logged in and the little sidebar (with all the apps, etc.) did not show up. [01:28] (sorry for the long post :p) Did I do something wrong? [01:28] draggehn: What video card do you have? It may not be getting along nicely [01:29] Danato, Are you reinstalling the bash app or something in bash? [01:29] I don't know as it is a laptop (and not mine for that matter; spare from my dad's work) and 13.04 worked nicely. [01:29] Eliyahu: np here's a bit more detail on memory usage http://askubuntu.com/questions/7034/what-is-the-difference-between-32-bit-and-64-bit-and-which-should-i-choose [01:29] draggehn: if you log out, at the log-in screen there should be a little circle near where you type your password. If you click this it will give you a list of alternate DE's, see if one of these works properly [01:30] Hi everyone. I'm an APCS teacher, I'm installing ubuntu on all our current machines. I'm looking for a Deep Freeze alternative for Linux. I have used ofris, but it doesn't reset system files, only home files. For example if someone uses chrome to login to their google account, their bookmarks, etc are saved on the computer ever after a restart. Does anyone have any ideas? [01:30] wafflejock you think the ubuntu 14.10 trust tarh isnt as good as 13.10 right now is it? [01:30] it is not stable yet [01:30] Jordan_U, It won't even play on latest software !! i.e. Lightworks . http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/lightworks-enter-public-beta [01:30] Jordan_U: I dont have a mounts dir in /proc [01:30] jaydubzy: the problem is whenever I press Ctrl+Alt+Del or try to log off (Ctrl+Alt+L doesn't work either) nothing happens. [01:31] Tangy81: I don't know what Deep Freeze does, but I usually just make images of my hard drives using dd. This way I can restore everything to the state it was when I took the image easily [01:31] wilee-nilee: the idea is to restore bash [01:31] Eliyahu: they go year.month so 2014 October it should be released for now you'll likely encounter bugs with anything beyond 13.04, 12.04 has long term support for 5 years then will have to switch over in 2017 at latest [01:31] draggehn: don't know if those shortcuts are in place anymore. Press ctrl+T to open a terminal and type "gnome-session-quit" to log out [01:31] jaydubzy: For a school enviroment with 36+ computers, that's inefficient. Deep Freeze basically "freezes" the computer state, so files created would be erased after a restart. [01:31] Danato, you've been getting better help than I can give, hehe carry on. [01:32] Tangy81: ah yes, I see. Not sure what you might want to use then [01:32] jaydubzy: I do not see this circle you are talking about and now that I logged out, I see a user named "Light Display Manager" with a password. [01:32] Eliyahu: currently I'm running 12.04 on my development and deployment machines but was using 13.04 with no real problems... had some actual hardware failure I mistook for a software failure so I down-graded after lots of debugging [01:32] we6jbo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcq5rWEeDko [01:32] draggehn: That's interesting, sounds like something's pretty broken :/ [01:33] the circle (might be the ubuntu logo) should be directly to the right of the user's name [01:33] draggehn: see above [01:33] SchrodingersScat: I'll check it out. Thanks [01:33] have you logged in draggehn? === noideas is now known as hugenumbers [01:34] jaydubzy: I don't see this. Hm. I think I'll do a(nother) fresh install. === hugenumbers is now known as noideas [01:34] wilee-nilee: lol actually any help would very appreciated, ive been here for some hours already without any [01:34] draggehn: verify the disc contents before you do [01:34] ianorlin: Yes I have. I also logged out with "gnome-session-quit" [01:34] ah [01:34] draggehn: I've had a lot of installs go bad because of corrupt DVDs [01:34] burn them slower [01:35] jaydubzy: freshly burned 13.10 from the site, I think it's fine [01:35] and check md5sum [01:35] draggehn: can never be sure. [01:35] draggehn: (without verifying and comparing md5, that is) [01:35] jaydubzy: how big should the .iso for ubuntu 13.10 be? [01:35] draggehn: check the md5sum it's your best bet [01:35] Danato, In general I have not had to reinstall bash I have not looked at it's dependencies, my simple reaction is in a chroot, apt-get install bash [01:35] draggehn: not sure off hand, compare the md5. [01:36] Jordan_U my mistake, mounts is not a dir, sorry jst a sec [01:36] jaydubzy: where will I find the md5 for the ubuntu 13.10 iso to compare to? [01:36] draggehn: if the md5 sum checks out okay then your download at least matches what the website is telling you, you should have, after that just pick a lower burning speed than max and give it another go [01:37] draggehn: are you on linux or windows to burn the iso? [01:37] draggehn: you can find it on the ubuntu site. you might need to browse to the alternate-downloads page to find the file there [01:37] jaydubzy: windows. [01:37] wafflejock: windows [01:37] jaydubzy: sorry, meant to quote wafflejock :p [01:37] *reply [01:37] draggehn: no worries [01:38] draggehn: if you use img burn to burn the disks I believe it shows the md5 sum for the iso for you in the burning window after you load the ISO [01:38] * Kality switch to Vaper rather than chain-roaching :( [01:38] draggehn: http://www.imgburn.com/ [01:38] wafflejock: yep, used that. [01:38] k yeah then the other part is to find the MD5 sum on the website where you downloaded from.. can you drop your current link? [01:39] wafflejock: I just used http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?release=latest&bits=64&distro=desktop&status=zeroc [01:39] if you have another comp with a burner might try that one [01:39] wafflejock: and I'm not seeing the MD5 in imgburn. Do I need to put a disk in first? [01:40] ianorlin: I have no other computers in the house (that I can use) other than my desktop and laptop [01:40] ah [01:40] draggehn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [01:40] draggehn: http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/MD5SUMS [01:40] wafflejock: beat me to it :p [01:40] draggehn: one sec lemme check on img burn actually haven't used it in a minute but recalled it showing the md5 somewhere, thought it was just after an ISO was loaded [01:41] jaydubzy: Now how do I check the md5 of the .iso? via command prompt? [01:41] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/Z6WR7ggA I had to copy it manually, I hope I ddnt make a typo === jipang_menjerit_ is now known as jipang_menjerit [01:42] draggehn: winmd5 [01:42] wafflejock, jaydubzy: weird, I logged onto the guest account and the apps sidebar thing is working fine. [01:42] wilee-nilee: the problem is that im not getting in a chroot yet [01:43] draggehn, Hello === travis_ is now known as Duel [01:43] Duel, hey. [01:44] draggehn: ah possibly something botched in your user config then (one of the . files or folders in your /home/user folder) not sure why this would happen with a fresh install though [01:44] wafflejock how about ubuntu drivers for hp webcams such as the hp hd-2200 ? [01:44] draggehn, Is there a way to move tha panel on 13.10? [01:45] wafflejock: it wasn't *REALLY* a fresh install; when updating from 13.04 via updater on ubuntu, something went wrong and wouldn't boot up (accidentally logged off in the middle of update heh.) [01:45] Danato, I see that, so when you ran those commands the first time to get there, what was you command then to fix bash, it was an error, just curious, that chroot worked fine for me. [01:45] I just kept data from previous install since I had sensitive data on there. [01:45] wafflejock: see above [01:45] Eliyahu: not sure about the webcam drivers really all I can say is my Logitech QuickCam Orbit has worked in every version, but don't know the details [01:45] wafflejock ok thanks [01:46] wafflejock: where would the config files be? and how would I fix these? [01:47] wafflejock better work for a 300$ webcamera [01:47] SchrodingersScat: I just found out this is called multiseat [01:47] wafflejock rediculous that youd spend 300$ on that [01:47] we6jbo: ok, looking into that [01:47] wafflejock: I'll do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and see if that fixes anything. [01:48] Eliyahu: I didn't pay $300 for a webcam http://www.pcplanetsystems.com/abc/product_details.php?category_id=21&item_id=1481 they have deals on em [01:48] Is there a way to move the Ubuntu Dock? Ive been looking and cant find anything on 13.10 [01:48] wafflejock :P [01:48] Eliyahu: although admittedly I've spent $300 on a speaker system but don't regret that :) [01:48] we6jbo: still takes some kind of minimal workstation though? [01:48] Duel: I can't check right now (or I would) because of my botched configs. [01:48] we6jbo: or not, nvm. [01:49] draggehn, what happened? [01:49] Duel, my sidebar isn't showing up :p [01:49] ok im on a computer now [01:49] wafflejock suggested that my configs must be messed up, but I do not know how to fix this without doing a completely fresh install from disc. [01:51] wilee-nilee, i was doing the first set of commands , those to create a chroot http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/07/creating-chroot-ubuntu.html [01:51] draggehn: think you can just configure a new user account and migrate things over, generally speaking there are two places I've seen things like this go wrong, either the .xsession/ICEAuthority file (don't think it's that here) or something in your /home/username/.something files, making a new user will not have all of your previous configuration files in it, you can potentially migrate them over then and see which one causes the [01:51] problem but you may have many [01:51] can anyone guess why i would have a python script that runs fine if i run it manually, but if i run it with the same command in an upstart its unable to make a network connection? [01:51] Duel: no way to move the launcher [01:51] i was thinking it was a permissions issue but its running as root when upstart runs it [01:51] draggehn: if you're in ~ at the command line to ls -al to see hidden (dot) files [01:51] wafflejock: I don't see any ".anything" files at /home/draggehn [01:52] wilee-nilee, and i got the error chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Permission denied [01:52] draggehn: in most file explorers it's alt + . to show them [01:52] draggehn: there's definitely a bunch in there or something went really wrong === danato_ is now known as Danato [01:53] wilee-nilee, oh and the specific command was 'sudo chroot /mnt/temp' [01:54] wafflejock: doing "Alt + ." brings up search (in nautilus) [01:54] Is GTK 2 or 3 on Ubunto 13.10? [01:54] draggehn: ah sorry, using dolphin right now thought it was the same [01:54] !chroot [01:54] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [01:54] might be alt+h can't recall [01:54] danato_, I am only slightly familiar with all the paths and dependencies, but unless that third line command, in the group of 5 line to do the chroot has a bash call I am confused where you have run it to get a error. [01:55] draggehn: http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t7.htm Ctrl + H it says [01:55] How do I add another chat? liek CHannel [01:55] Duel: /join #someChannel [01:55] wafflejock: got it just before I saw that :p [01:55] heh yeah sometimes you can just smash keys and get lucky :) [01:56] Ty [01:56] np [01:56] wafflejock you think the : AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor TL- 60 (2.00GHz 1M) with 2 GB of ram is faster with ubuntu 62 than windows vista? [01:56] wilee-nilee, how did you do it? [01:56] Eliyahu, Its fast I just got on 13.10 [01:57] Eliyahu: my guess is yes but my experience with Vista has never been positive [01:57] wafflejock: so, which .files should I investigate? [01:57] Danato, I just ran all 5 commands by them selves making sure ths sdXX was actually sda7 on my computer, I just went o another linux install on the hd rather than from a live cd, virtual the same. [01:58] to* [01:58] Kality: Did you see my question earlier? [01:58] draggehn: well that's the problem... not really sure what is causing it to fail but I'm just guessing it's something in there since the other guest user account works fine... you'll have to use check your syslog and maybe dmesg to see if you can track down what's causing it... alternatively make a new user account and one by one move over the . files that you want to try and re-use till you see which one fails === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [01:59] Danato, I know vey little about bash, I have to wonder if you ran the commands wrong or what ever damage got you here may be blocking you. [01:59] Jordan_U, I'm vaping .. please repeat questuion .. thanx . [01:59] wilee-nilee, i replaced sdXY to sda4, which is where my ubuntu is installed and im on a live cd [01:59] wafflejock: alright; I'll save that for tomorrow. Do you know the name of the process that creates the sidebar thing? [01:59] wafflejock: maybe I can start it via terminal [01:59] wafflejock hows the security in ubuntu? [01:59] wafflejock: it's called the launcher generally but not sure about the actual proces [02:00] Kality: If you select Tools> Codec Information, what codec does VLC is used for the video in the file? [02:00] for audio .. or video .. ,codec. ?? [02:00] Eliyahu: you have to harden any system you want to be truly secure, in any linux distro there's quite a bit of software available for firewalls and the like (use iptables to interface with the built in one) [02:01] draggehn: * oops addressed me instead of you up there, but yeah pretty sure it's just the "launcher" though again not sure of the process/package name [02:01] Danato, so you had an error "failed to run command 'bin/bash' Permission denied" what exactly caused this, what command? [02:01] Kality: I specifically asked about video. [02:01] Eliyahu: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-security.html [02:02] wilee-nilee, sudo chroot /mnt/temp [02:02] ok .. so its the vuideo codec .. it uses two with a .mov .. you knowv ? [02:02] Danato: What is the output of "ls -l /mnt/temp/bin/bash"? [02:02] **know [02:02] wafflejock: Googled "ubuntu 13.10 launcher not working" or something to that effect, gonna try what a youtube video suggested. [02:03] Kality: There are many possible video codecs that can be contained in a .mov container. Please follow the instructions I gave and tell me the information I asked for. [02:03] jordan_U: -rw-r--r-- 1 1000 1000 0 Nov 17 22:18 /mnt/temp/bin/bash [02:03] Eliyahu: if extreme security is a major concern a distro like Arch is probably more appropriate since it is completely stripped down and the less software you have the less possible vulnerabilities you have basically, that said you can make a pretty safe system with Ubuntu so long as you set appropriate permissions and use SSH and the like to secure communications [02:03] Danato: Well, that's clearly wrong as /bin/bash should be executable. Any idea how this happened? [02:04] wafflejock thanks for letting me pick your brain [02:04] wafflejock ill try to relent with you tonight :OP [02:04] Eliyahu: np it's pretty fun or I wouldn't come in here to avoid working on bugs of my own :P [02:05] plus learn a lot from chatting in here and saying things and getting corrected or more/better advice [02:05] Jordan_U, the container used for the video in a .MOV file is Motion Jpeg Video AKA " mjpa " [02:05] * Kality see's a Rabbit Hole :S #random [02:06] Kality: Please stop the offtopic comments. [02:06] Jordan_U, the container used for the video in a .MOV file is Motion Jpeg Video AKA " mjpa " [02:06] satisfied ? [02:06] jordan_U: actually yeah, I was reading a tutorial and on an exercise they thought it was funny enough to ask ppl "create and delete a file with the name $SHELL". And i ddnt think about it much before i used "sudo cat > $SHELL" [02:07] Hi, I'm trying to install Xubuntu using a Live DVD. I got a blank screen, so I restarted using nomodeset, but I'm still getting a blank screen. I am able to get into the terminal using Ctrl+Alt+1. What should I do now? Thanks for any help. [02:08] Jordan_U, that should be why my /bin/bash got messed up, and I know, it was stupid. But is it fixable? [02:08] wafflejock: fixed it! [02:08] draggehn: awesome what was it? [02:08] wafflejock: had to re-enable the Unity plugin in ccsm [02:08] ah nice easy one [02:08] Danato: Ahh, then "sudo chroot /mnt/temp/bin/sh" will get you a dash shell instead of bash, and you should be able to re-install bash from there (hopefully apt/dpkg don't depend on bash). [02:08] wafflejock: http://askubuntu.com/a/76951 [02:10] ,my dogs have no food [02:10] draggehn: wow well that's a bummer but good to know thx [02:11] jordan_U: chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt/temp/bin/sh: Not a directory [02:11] Hi, I'm trying to install Xubuntu using a Live DVD. I got a blank screen, so I restarted using nomodeset, but I'm still getting a blank screen. I am able to get into the terminal using Ctrl+Alt+1. What should I do now? Thanks for any help. [02:12] Danato: Sorry, "sudo chroot /mnt/temp/ /bin/sh" [02:12] Alright, now that my problem's fixed, I'm gonna leave. Thanks wafflejock and jaydubzy! [02:12] Good night! [02:13] draggehn: yup have a good one [02:13] Jordan_U, What are you doing with the .info I gave you , that you *specifically* request from myself ? [02:13] Why does it give an IP once they leave? [02:14] wafflejock, hey Does it matter what Theme I install for 13.10 Ubuntu? [02:15] Duel: no it shouldn't as far as I know... haven't played much with third party themes though, I switched to KDE in the last year but have only tweaked the theme to my liking in here [02:16] wafflejock, I just got on linux in the past 48 Hours. New incoming [02:16] Duel: http://askubuntu.com/questions/133835/do-themes-slow-down-ubuntus-performance [02:17] Duel: yeah lots of the stuff you can just google "my question here"+ ubuntu and get a decent answer most of the time, beyond that if you get stuck just come here and explain your situation as detailed as you can [02:17] wafflejock, I got a error. Said cannot locate package [02:18] Duel: that means that none of your currently setup repositories for getting packages has whatever it is you told it to install [02:18] wafflejock, So I need to find the repository that has it? [02:18] Duel: if you give details on what you're trying to install and where you found the instructions for it I can probably help [02:18] jordan_U: yeah I got access now :) thats progress, but should "sudo apt-get --reinstall bash" be working? [02:18] Duel: generally speaking yeah [02:19] ok last time ima ask hopefully someone can help, how do you set a primary monitor while using nvidsuckia? [02:19] wafflejock, Well I was just trying to install " MyUnity " and " Ubuntu-Tweak" because they are required. [02:20] Kality: Looking up information on vlc's support for Motion JPEG. Did you get this file from a video camera? What version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:20] wait a sec lemme rephrase the question, how do you get a primary monitor "working" while on linux and using nvidia? [02:22] hey guys i'm asked to fix an old server at work running zfsonlinux which has a degraded disk, problem is the zpool status only tells me the list of disks in disk0, disk1 etc. not /dev/sda and so I can't find out which device disk16 which is the faulty disks corresponds to, anyone know how to find this out please? Thanks [02:22] jordan_U: *"sudo apt-get install --reinstall bash" got it now :) thanks a lot [02:23] !server|bakemono, [02:23] bakemono,: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [02:23] Jordan_U, Qu.1 yes .. a 16GB SDCard 14MP Camera (GE 2011 camera) with .MOV output (.mov) quicktime file extension output . Qu.2 I am running an updated 13.10 'daily-builds' standard Ubuntu with Unity DE . .... OK ? [02:24] Duel: you should be able to get myunity with a regular sudo apt-get install since it's in the main repositories [02:24] Anyone ever seen this? The link /dev/vg01/testvol01 should had been created by udev but it was not found. Falling back to direct link creation. [02:24] Duel: Ubuntu Tweak you would have to downoad the .deb file here http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [02:25] Duel: then just click it to launch and it should launch the deb installer (basically like windows installer if you're familiar, just unpackages the .deb file for you and runs configuration from the program) [02:25] wafflejock, okay I will try [02:26] nvm i figured it out [02:26] bye [02:26] wafflejock, Know why I have to right click open in browser for links to work? [02:26] Kality: What do you mean by 'daily-builds'? Since 13.10 has been released, I'm assuming that you mean that you initially installed Ubuntu from a daily build beforeit was released, but I'm not sure. [02:26] Duel: just the nature of your IRC client I think [02:27] Jordan_U, Yes . correct .. but I call bearD . [02:27] wafflejock, it was like that on #!, Mint, and This now [02:27] i.e. development branch Ubuntu ... that is . [02:28] wafflejock, Installing it now [02:28] jordan_U: I got lots of Permission denied errors http://pastebin.com/DmcYxqRs [02:29] Kality: Please run "lsb_release -a" in a terminal and post the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com (and share the link to said output here). [02:29] wafflejock, How do I launch Ubuntu Tweak? [02:30] Duel: should show up in your launcher now if you hit Super/WinKey then type ubuntu tweak [02:30] Danato: Unfortunately installing bash normally requires bash. [02:31] jordan, Whoa, man! You just, like, totally blew my mind! [02:31] jordan_U: is it possible to replace it with a bash from another system? [02:31] wafflejock, Got it, Time to get themes now === dab_ is now known as dab [02:32] does someone knows how to use pavucontrol in ubuntu? [02:32] seriously, it's driving me crazy... [02:32] how do you set the default output device? [02:32] kmix "just works", pavucontrol still doesn't, wth ubuntu? [02:32] wafflejock, that link you gave me, the themes link in the bio, Idk what it means [02:33] wafflejock, do i get to see em? https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/themes/+index?batch=75&memo=75&start=75 or I just add them and see what they are? [02:33] it seems to be using the HDMI output as default, which I'm not using right now [02:34] Danato: Please pastebin the output of "find /-name '*bash*' /mnt/temp/var/cache/apt/archives/". [02:34] Jordan_U: s,/-,/ -, ? [02:35] Danato: Sorry, that's completely wrong. [02:35] Just setup a Xerox Phaser 6010N as a network printer. Status seems fine. Test page claims it's making it to the job queue AND succesfully completing but the printer never prints the test page. It's just "ready". Anyone have experience with this? [02:35] Jordan_U, take your time [02:36] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/amhcYQ4S [02:36] .... [02:36] Danato: Please pastebin the output of "find /mnt/temp/var/cache/apt/archives/ -name '*bash*' ". [02:37] jordan_U: find: `/mnt/temp/var/cache/apt/archives/': No such file or directory [02:38] Kality: Odd, according to https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/999 Motion JPEG should work in the version of VLC you're using. What happens if you try to play the file via Totem? [02:39] Danato: Your Ubuntu installation is mounted at /mnt/temp/, correct? Do you have a separate /var/ partition? [02:40] wafflejock, when I try and add sudo apt-get install attack-of-the-clones-gtk-theme It says package cannot be found [02:40] Duel: if you open MyUnity it has some built in packages [02:41] wafflejock, so ubuntu tweak wont work? [02:41] Duel: no just saying it's one way you can change your themes [02:41] Danato: I don't know if just copying bash over will work, but we should be able to use dpkg -x to extract the file from your most recent bash package. [02:41] jordan_U: yes its mounted on /mnt/temp and i use ubuntu on sda4 if thats what you meant [02:42] Duel: if you find custom themes you need to follow their instructions for install though [02:42] attack-of-the-clones-gtk-them [02:42] python's included with Ubuntu by default, right...? [02:42] Danato: Did you run the command I gave inside or outside of the chroot? [02:42] TheLordOfTime: hard to imagine otherwise [02:42] I think ccsm is python [02:43] jordan_U: I'm guessing inside, because im using the same dash terminal, and i ddnt quit anything [02:43] I can't get HDMI detected on my Raring installation. I have Intel stuff. Any advice/drivers/installs I could do? It's not detected in lspci or xrandr w/e. [02:43] wafflejock, https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/themes/+index?batch=75&direction=backwards&memo=75 how do I find intructions for any of the themes? [02:44] Danato: From inside the chroot you'll need to remove the /mnt/temp from the path in that find command. [02:46] Duel: to add this repository to the stuff apt searches (your /etc/apt/source.list) use sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/themes [02:46] Duel: then do: sudo apt-get update [02:46] that will get the new list of packages from current repositories [02:47] jordan_U, /var/cache/apt/archives/bash_4.2-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb [02:47] then you should be able to just: sudo apt-get install packagehere [02:47] Duel: if you find themes on sites like DeviantArt or elsewhere though they may be accompanied with instructions to install the theme manually [02:47] I cant scroll up on this IRC Chat [02:47] Okay [02:48] WIll do [02:48] wafflejock, Is ALT+F2+r and Enter still reload graphics? [02:48] Duel: not sure about that one [02:49] Duel: generally speaking in Ubuntu upstart scripts and upstart are used to start and stop the main processes/services/daemons [02:49] Duel: so usually something like, sudo service lightdm restart, will do the trick [02:49] Jordan_U, just installing totem this second ! [02:50] I cannot wait to migrate from this distro [02:50] wafflejock, Im getting http://www.deviantart.com/art/elementary-Dark-GTK3-Theme-244257862 atm. [02:50] Duel: Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a TTY if your graphics get too messed up, Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back [02:50] wafflejock, Hold on check this out. [02:52] wafflejock, Check this out http://pastebin.com/y6yXtuGg ? [02:52] Danato: mkdir /tmp/bash_extract/ && dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/bash_4.2-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb /tmp/bash_extract [02:53] Jordan_U, totem already installed on 13.10 [02:53] jordan_U: done [02:53] Duel: so you are trying to install a gtk 3.4 theme in latest ubuntu...not gonna work [02:53] Jordan_U, Do you know how to Proceed if totem does not render the .mov File ? [02:53] Duel: not sure that this theme has a package for your system then [02:54] wafflejock, Okay, Well what themes do? lol [02:54] Jordan_U, i.e. what to do next ? === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [02:54] Duel: basically this means the developer didn't make a .deb file compiled for your architecture you just have to see what it says in the comments basically, this guy says he ditched maintaining this [02:54] Danato: That should give you (among other files) a /tmp/bash_extract/bin/bash. If so, try "cp /tmp/bash_extract/bin/bash /bin/bash", then run "bash" to test it, and re-install bash anyway for good measure. [02:55] Jordan_U, totem just gives an error message .. Saying " Cannot play this type of File ." [02:55] Kality: It didn't offer to install additional codecs? [02:55] Jordan_U, No. [02:56] it didn't at all . [02:56] Kality: Try joining #videolan and asking there. [02:57] wafflejock, trying another theme [02:57] eyy I think it worked [02:58] jordan_U: since its taking a while, I'm guessing it is copying [02:58] Jordan_U, I know this is a 'friendly chit-chat' between ubuntu-omg users .. but I CALL BEARD ON YOU . [02:58] QnA session .. /join ubuntuQnAns. they said , it'll be Productive for AlmoST 2 hours !! they said ! [02:59] * Kality grumbles :P [03:00] I weouldn't mind .. but it's 3 a.m. Here !! [03:00] Danato: The extraction shouldn't take too long, if it's not done by now then it's likely something went wrong. [03:00] **wouldn't .. [03:00] wafflejock, Know of anything else cool I can do? [03:02] Jordan_U, Don't ignore me .. !! , https://www.dropbox.com/s/666k2ylo8cp0wz3/2012-12-04b.jpg [03:02] jordan_U: was I supposed to use sudo on that? [03:02] Duel: depends on what you're into... I really enjoy playing with Blender (3D editing) but there is a learning curve to it, Hydrogen drum machine is fun if you're into making music, Audacity is also good for mixing tracks together and doing some basic editing... GIMP and/or Inkscape if you like drawing stuff... Pithos is good if you use Pandora, lots of good stuff out there just depends on what you like [03:04] Duel, if you're a creative type, ubuntustudio has all KINDS of cool toys. [03:04] Duel: I personally mostly abandoned Unity at this point and went with a fresh Kubuntu install after having KDE side by side with Unity and deciding I liked it better... still have Unity in a virtual machine and XFCE in another just to play with everything === jon98 is now known as no [03:04] wafflejock, what about for customizing my desktop? this is mine currently http://imgur.com/5iAU48W === no is now known as Guest6938 [03:05] Hi, How can I install ubuntu/ubuntu touch on an MID A13 generic tablet????

[03:10] Kality: Yes. [03:10] jordan_U, it jst finished copying [03:10] Well then ... [03:10] Duel: yeah i wasn't a huge fan of the whole integrated top bar thing, also not a huge fan of the scope found it too distracting and unnecessary, in KDE can customize your panels more easily and has some cool "plasmoids" or widgets [03:10] I am a new user for ubuntu,even linux,I want to known how about the safety of this system?(My English is not very well,sorry) [03:11] Duel: Ctrl+L is helpful though for getting to that bar [03:11] icesvencn, it's safe. [03:11] jordan_U: how do i test bash from here? I tried reinstalling and i got the same errors [03:11] icesvencn, I can help on PM [03:11] Jordan_U, You *should* be well aware that Mr shuttleworth called for IRC operatives to be 'gracious' and not ""e mean" about being on this channel .. Are you listening ? [03:11] I hate the windows sysytem [03:11] wafflejock, Not to sure if I like this integrated bar thing.. [03:11] Jordan_U, He did this 3 weeks ago . [03:12] icesvencn: compared to Windows, Ubuntu will be incredibly more secure by default [03:12] Duel: yeah once i installed kubuntu and played with it for like an hour I decided to wipe my system and reinstall (SSD so strapped a bit for space and didn't want Unity anyhow) [03:12] wafflejock, Kubuntu you say [03:12] :) [03:13] Thank you ! So I do not need to install any firewall or safety soft? [03:13] icesvencn, there ARE users in #ubuntu-cn if you'd like to discuss in Chinese [03:13] Duel: yeah I suggest you install VirtualBox so you can install some other distros or desktop environments without messing up your main system [03:13] Jordan_U, Where are you on *this* List ? :: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-members/+members :: [03:13] wafflejock, I think i might have it already, [03:13] icesvencn, ubuntu has a firewall built in, but it's not turned on unless you want it. malware and viruses are extremely rare. [03:13] Duel: then once you settle on what you like just install that and if need be remove Unity or do a fresh install [03:14] Duel: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65083/what-different-desktop-environments-and-shells-are-available [03:14] Kality: I have asked you nicely to stop the offtopic comments multiple times, I have then asked you nicely to join #ubuntu-ops. Please do so. [03:14] icesvencn, where in China? There's a Beijing Linux User Group ... [03:14] My English is not very well ,but I can read ,I can improve my English here. How to turned on the firewall? [03:14] !firewall|icesvencn, [03:14] icesvencn,: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [03:15] !tunnel [03:15] wafflejock, SO if I install one of these will it remove that like auto or integrated bar [03:15] Jordan_U, Please refrain from giving serious instructions about #ubuntu-ops .. And Answer My Previous Qustion.. Immediately and Forthwith .. ' where are you on list ' ?? [03:16] * cfhowlett realizes he can NEVER be a mod because he doesn't have the patience for jackholes. [03:17] Duel: yeah none of the others have that, that I'm aware of... I've used KDE and XFCE recently, XFCE is very minimalistic (good for a GUI on a server if you want it), KDE is heavier and more feature rich.. MATE and cinammon were both okay but nothing that wowed me [03:17] wafflejock, What about Gnome? [03:17] cfhowlett: Calling people names doesn't help anything. Please don't. [03:18] hello do they have other topics channels? [03:18] does 12.04 have bluetooth? [03:18] i think i may have to install bluetooth drivers [03:18] Duel: haven't used it in years, like since Ubuntu 6 or something, but think MATE is meant to the be basically retaining old Gnome [03:18] ImTheDude: who is 'they'? [03:18] jordan, noted [03:18] IRC [03:19] wafflejock, Okay so Im either thinking Gnome, or the other 2 you said [03:19] ImTheDude: you can find plenty on freenode, can search the channel lists or blindly try to /join #room and see if it exists. === Rope is now known as ese [03:19] pogiako: Ubuntu 12.04 does have bluetooth support, but your specific bluetooth controller/device may not be supported. What type of bluetooth device are you trying to use, and how have you tried pairing it so far? [03:20] wafflejock, I also kind of like the dock tho. [03:20] i havent paired it with anything yet [03:20] maybe i do have to get drivers for it [03:20] Duel: yeah really it's worth it to do an install in virtual box (you just install virtual box with sudo apt-get install virtual-box) then you just hit new and walk through the wizard and hit start then it'll ask for an ISO, you give it the install ISO and go through the setup [03:20] Duel: it's worth it to have vbox installed to just test stuff and not botch your main system [03:21] ^^^^ agree [03:21] i cant pair with other devices even when other devices' bluetooth are on [03:21] wafflejock, Ima try GNOME First where do I start? [03:22] jordan_U: i dont think it worked because I still cant reinstall batch, is there any other way to test? [03:23] Danato: Did you run the cp command I gave, or just the dpkg -x one? [03:23] jordan_U i ran the cp command already [03:23] Duel: I have a guide I'm working on that walks through all the steps for setting up virtual box, would start there if you don't want to risk your system: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13qRYXSYyAunclSOr-iLhpHa7A88MQXrO04B0n8pQPmA/edit?usp=sharing [03:24] Danato: What is the output of "ls -l /bin/bash" now? [03:24] jordan_U: -rw-r--r-- 1 danato danato 959168 Nov 18 10:55 /bin/bash [03:24] wafflejock, I have to restart for this to work? [03:24] Duel: if you're not concerned with that follow this http://askubuntu.com/questions/112958/gnome-shell-can-i-install-alongside-unity [03:25] Duel: no virtual box is just a program that contains another OS [03:25] Duel: that's the nice part, no need to reboot... bad part is it is not giving the guest OS (one running inside) complete access to the hardware [03:26] wafflejock, so what If i do like it? [03:26] what will i hav to do then [03:26] Duel: nothing necessarily if you want to reclaim the disk space from the other desktop environment you aren't using you can just delete the packages for it using sudo apt-get remove package [03:26] or if you want to get rid of all config too sudo apt-get purge package [03:27] Danato: chmod 0755 /bin/bash && chown root:root /bin/bash [03:27] Duel: if you aren't concerned with the disk space you can just keep both options and you just pick at login which to run [03:28] jordan_U: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 959168 Nov 18 10:55 /bin/bash [03:28] wafflejock, well what If id only want to run Gnome? [03:28] Duel: yeah you'd just remove unity then.... I opted for just clean installing after backing up because I didn't want to deal with manually removing things and wasn't too far into configuring [03:29] Danato: Looks good. Try running "bash" now. [03:29] Duel, There is a gnome only release, unity is a plugin in compiz running on gnome they share about 98%. [03:29] of gnome [03:30] wafflejock, soo what does that mean [03:30] what I said or what wilee-nilee said? [03:30] !nounity | Duel [03:30] Duel: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [03:30] jordan_U: It Worked!! this feels like walking out of a hospital fully recovered, thanks a lot man :) [03:31] Im on the lastest ubuntu version [03:31] Danato: You're welcome :) Still re-install bash for good measure. [03:31] wafflejock, Do I still need VB? [03:32] Duel: no virtual box is just an option so you can do a full OS install and run it as though it's an application within your OS, was just suggesting it to try things out [03:32] Duel: it's definitely not necessary for changing your actual desktop environment or any other packages [03:33] wafflejock, Just for testing out stuff kindove? :) [03:33] hello guys [03:33] 'lo not [03:33] Duel: yeah just to throw caution to the wind and play with different OS/desktop options [03:34] going for a reboot, hopefully i wont have any trouble [03:34] wafflejock, saying be careful right [03:35] i'm having trouble with grub... I installed Ubuntu in my macbook air. With Ubuntu comes grub2... Then, Ubuntu works beautifully and all... But when i select Mac OS X in grub, it wont load. It stays in a purple screen forever... [03:35] Duel: eh just saying when you're new and trying a lot of stuff out and learning you might stumble, and easier to recover if it's just a virtual box machine that gets messed up... if you mess up the main OS it's more heartache [03:35] wafflejock, I can just go slow and copy/paste lines in to terminal tho? [03:36] well ones that i need to [03:36] Duel: yeah even so you may end up installing something that has a bug here or there... I'm not saying this happens often but you should be wary of which repositories you're adding and how reputable the source is [03:37] wafflejock, so I should re- look up the repository and then see if it works or? [03:39] Duel: well just good to see what's going on in the comments around a project and how many people are contributing/working on it and how recent work has been done... sometimes projects go stale and then you're more likely to run into problems you can't get help with [03:40] wafflejock, ooh. I know whatcha mean but now Im kindove sketched out if I mess up/. [03:40] Duel: well yeah that's why I'm saying go with installing Virtual box so anything that feels a bit sketchy you can at least try there first [03:41] Duel: generally if you find a stackoverflow.com or askubuntu.com question with an accepted answer for the same version of Ubuntu you have you're in good shape [03:41] Duel: and anything in the main repos is safe [03:42] Duel: but if you go out and just grab some package from some site you're putting your trust in whoever put out that package, I haven't had or seen any major issues but it's something to think about... same is true on any OS [03:43] wafflejock, I wanna get this dumb integrated thing outta here hahahaha [03:44] wafflejock, its not that bad, but its wierd, and gets annoying at times. [03:45] I'm trying to update kde-plasma-desktop from 4.11.2 to 4.11.3 ...apt-get install tells me I already have the latest version but clearly I don't.

[03:48] hi all, i used paragon NTFS instead of native ntfs-3g and it provide me more than twice copying speed as compared to ntfs-3g , but the problem is that i want to mount my NTFS partitions in r/w mode by default without any command everytime, and to copy files in to NTFS partitions, i need to use gksudo command, which is somewhat annoying, anybody please tell me, how to automount partititions with these paragon drivers in R/W mode for me(i am the only user on th [03:48] One that crashes the desktop [03:48] If I have a script in /etc/init, why doesn't it show up when I run `service --status-all` ?

[03:51] Duel: cool try following the guide I setup for the virtual box part, you can switch out the ISO for whatever you want [03:52] reisio: problem is that when i click at partitions in nautilus(left pane); they get mounted but in read only mode [03:54] reisio: also i think the drivers load to mount partitions, are native kernel drivers not paragon drivers, but when i mount some partitions with sudo command, they get mounted in my mentioned path and the speed is just awsome [03:56] reisio: this would be awesome to mount them in r/w mode without supplying sudo command, like ntfs-3g do by default, but speed is too slow to live with [03:56] kaksddkf: what does 'mount' say about them when they're mounted the way you like? [03:58] What's the difference between `service --status-all` and `initctl list` ? [03:59] reisio: i umount them first and then mount them with command mentioned in the paragon read me, and it just get mounted , but for normal user it is just a read only,owner ROOT because i mount them as root, using sudo command but without sudo command i am not able to mount them [04:00] reisio: sudo mount -t ufsd /dev/sda5 /mnt/check/ [04:01] reisio: this command mounts ntfs partition sda5 into /mnt/check and it worked like a charm, but only read only mode, to get write access, i need to use gksudo nautilus and then perform operations [04:02] im trying to add a shared folder [04:02] how do I do it [04:04] help [04:04] reisio: how to add some line in /etc/fstab , but there is no line for ntfs partitions in /etc/fstab and they get mounted in r-w mode when i click them with ntfs-3g, now i have uninstalled ntfs-3g in a hope that paragon drivers will automatically take over , but this didn't happened [04:04] kaksddkf: what does 'mount' say about them when they're mounted the way you like?

[05:38] okay wilee-nilee; you've heard of virtualbox right? [05:38] Yeah I made the mistake of putting 13.10 64 bit on my 32 bit machine, I ended up downloading 32 bit [05:38] wilee-nilee: You can actually run a 64bit emulator on a 32bit machine and install to that. But craptons of overhead [05:38] supports 32 bit... but doesn't support 64 bit os, correct? [05:39] Crimson_Rogue, Thats not the same and I doubt you can there either. [05:39] wilee-nilee, I have done it. [05:39] Greetings. I am trying to get Hibernation support working with an Ubuntu x86-64 system. It seems like I have swap working and the machine suspends, yet when resuming, the system boots normally rather than resume from swap. It seems that grub isn't passing 'resume=/dev/sdxxx' to the kernel. Before I hack up grub.cfg, is there a "proper" way to get update-grub and friends to add the 'resume=' option to the autogenerated grub config? [05:39] evilwombat: try google? [05:40] Crimson_Rogue, You say you have, that is your statement and you back peddling from a basic argument that never included a VM. [05:40] your* [05:40] Crimson_Rogue, already did. SNR was quite low, so I came here. [05:40] okay, sec... [05:42] Yes screen -r will resume the previous session [05:42] Most hits are from Arch Linux and friends, and they use different systems for config management. I'd like to try things the "nice" ubuntu way before resorting to config hackery. I've already tested manually passing resume=/dev/sda3 to the kernel via grub and hibernation works - now just have to get the config properly updated [05:42] note: this is olde [05:42] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/10/29/%23ubuntu.html === zero is now known as Guest95234 [05:43] evilwombat: what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:43] * ianorlin is using lubuntu 13.10 [05:43] Crimson_Rogue, I'm on 12.04 LTS [05:44] anybody know how to change the user in bash? it's right now postgres@macsplean and i want it to me macs@macsplean [05:44] evilwombat: See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1978290 [05:44] hello, I compiled gcc4.6.3 source successfully, and I copied the source to another named folder and recompiled it but it still searching for previous path while make time. how can I fix this problem? [05:45] macsplean: You're logged in as the user postgres ? [05:45] genii: im trying to set up postgres. it was a mistake [05:45] Crimson_Rogue, that does not appear to be relevant to my problem [05:45] anda bermasalah dengan kartu kredit/KTA?? Kami bantu dibebas bayarkan hub. Dita 02190409949 [05:45] macsplean: If you used su to get there, just use: exit [05:45] genii: thanks! [05:46] Crimson_Rogue, my suspend functionality is working fine. It is my hibernation that is busted, because the bootloader is not telling the kernel the name of the swap partition containing the resume image. Peeking at /etc/grub.d/ reveals references to /var/vm/sleepimage, but I haven't found much documentation on this [05:46] !id | dita [05:46] dita: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [05:47] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume evilwombat? [05:47] seems like there ought to be another grub.d item to look in /proc/swaps and add this as a candidate resume option when regenerating grub.cfg [05:48] Crimson_Rogue, interesting. That makes a reference to a resume option by UUID, but I haven't seen any hooks in grub.d/ that invoke this. I'll dig a bit deeper there. Thanks. [05:49] it has hibernate debugging steps there too.. figured it might be worth a shot [05:49] Thanks [05:49] you don't by chance have an nvidea card, do you evilwombat? [05:50] *nvidia [05:50] Noone seems to really care about hibernation these days. My laptop has an odd mechanical problem where the battery connection glitches and all power is temporarily lost, so it's hibernate for me until they replace it [05:50] Crimson_Rogue, I do, actually [05:50] have you installed nvidia-current through synaptic? [05:50] morning to all [05:51] http://askubuntu.com/questions/127253/suspend-and-resume-not-working-on-an-hp-dv7 @ evilwombat [05:51] Crimson_Rogue, Hmmm. I seem to be on nvidia-319, whereas nvidia-current pulls in 304. Regardless, this problem is not with the nvidia card, but with the bootloader [05:52] My problem is a very silly and very isolated grub thing. If there is no "clean" solution, I'll just manually patch it. But I thought with ubuntu there were all sorts of nice and clean ways of managing the configs [05:52] not that I mind hacking it up ;) [05:52] Any reason why sound would just randomly stop working? I log in as another user and sound works fine. [05:53] I have a question... I installed Ubuntu, then I added the XUbuntu interface so I could have a second boot option... but now when I boot my system I get the XUbuntu splash screen... can that be changed back to ubuntu? [05:53] I followed this and it didnt fix my problem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [05:53] has anyone went from Ub untu onto Kdm? [05:53] are you sure it's not the uswsusp or TuxOnIce evilwombat? [05:53] eoss: anything unusual in /var/log/syslog.1 ? [05:53] are you positive it's the kernel @ evilwombat? [05:54] Crimson_Rogue, positive. Checked the kernel commandline, and didn't see a resume option. Added one manually and it started working. But I don't want to type the option out each time I reboot. [05:54] or rather, resume [05:55] okay, so resume option not avaliable in kernel [05:55] resume option not passed to kernel [05:55] Oh well. If there's no clean answer, I'll just manually add one to grub.cfg. [05:55] thanks for the help [05:57] Mr_Midnight: whats your ubuntu version? [05:57] i'm on ubuntu 13.10 in my VMs [05:57] 13.10 [05:57] do you have cryptsetup installed evilwombat? [05:57] lotuspsychje: kernel: [ 28.188222] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio [05:58] then it says pulse audio daemon already running [05:59] Mr_Midnight: i think when you install xubuntu, it thinks you gonna use it as default, so you need to uninstall xubuntu or install a program to change bootslash screens [05:59] eoss: did you try a pulse audio restart? [05:59] lotuspsychje: so maybe if I reversed it and installed Xubuntu and then installed the Ubuntu-desktop package it would change to Ubuntu and do what I want? [06:00] Mr_Midnight: did you uninstall ubuntu after installing xubuntu-desktop? [06:00] no [06:01] does a file in tmp folder need permission to be read or write [06:01] ?? [06:01] lotuspsychje: just tried it didnt work. o.O I restarted too.....when I log in you hear that login audio but once im logged in audio stops [06:01] Mr_Midnight: try logout to xubuntu, and choose ubuntu from login window see if it changes your splash [06:01] evilwombat: Check for Broken Packages in synaptic [06:01] eoss: and creating a fresh user fixes your audio? [06:01] lotuspsychje: I have done that and it keeps the xubuntu splash but defaults to the ubuntu unity login [06:01] lotuspsychje: not even a fresh user, but just logging in as an old user fixes audio, yes [06:01] unpacking files kdm-full [06:01] taking forver! [06:02] Crimson_Rogue, thanks - no need. I think I've got this figured out - just added the resume option to /etc/default/grub and the config now looks good. Will test it out shortly. Good night [06:02] Mr_Midnight: you wanna keep using xubuntu? if not uninstall will fix it i think [06:03] I like gtg asap and this unpacking files taking to long [06:03] lotuspsychje: I like using both at different times... I can live with the splash just figured I would ask and see if there was a solution though [06:04] Mr_Midnight: there are several tools for changing bootsplash, never tryed them myself [06:05] lotuspsychje: I have it loaded on a small 32 GB flash drive so that I can boot any computer with it for troubleshooting or just to use my personalized environment as needed which isn't too often and like I said I can live with the splash the way it is but thanks for the ideas [06:06] !info plymouth | Mr_Midnight [06:06] Mr_Midnight: plymouth (source: plymouth): graphical boot animation and logger - main package.

I screwed up my dualboot. i'm a 48hrs linux user, so everything looks a bit weird to me. I would like to be able to boot properly, some help would be greatly appreciated. [08:01] figuringout, did you try and use a semicolon for a seperator instead? [08:02] wheatthin: no, let me try right away actually [08:04] shagelito: describe it the best you can === hans_henrik_ is now known as hans_henrik [08:05] wheatthin: no luck -- "invalid line" [08:06] and with ":" im getting core dump. going back to useradd / adduser :p [08:07] lol ok was just a suggestion. [08:08] but yeah you can change each user's password with sudo passwd [08:08] no luck btw, deleted all users, and did "useradd" again -- unable to login :( [08:09] figuringout, go into each user directory and delete the known_hosts file :) [08:09] ~/.ssh/known_hosts [08:10] then go and relogin. It should regenerate a public key [08:10] it's a must for a ssh handshake [08:11] ~/.ssh only has a file called "authorized_keys" [08:11] nothing else [08:12] ahh then that guide the first guy suggested would be helpful to import the .pem [08:12] obviously that host only allows authorized keys, and none to be generated. [08:12] resetting password helps actually [08:13] yeah? [08:13] though deleting users and re-adding them didnt :( go figure [08:13] lol [08:14] do you know of a gui-esque web-based control panel that will help me set this up? im guessing web-server admins do these things all the time [08:14] !zentyal | figuringout [08:14] figuringout: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server.

[10:05] excognac: not sure, but the OSX on it is broken (doesn't boot anymore) [10:06] tim167: did u try a live-cd? [10:06] Hi. How to force unmount a stale NFS mount. The NFS server is unavailable. But umount -lf /mnt/nfsmount does not work. It keeps waiting :( [10:06] excognac: macbook air doesn't have a cd drive [10:07] tim167: whatever, live usb then? === Guest7618 is now known as cva [10:07] excognac: well that's my question, i was hoping there was some not overly complicated way to make a mac bootable usb [10:07] and that doesnt require OSX [10:08] tim167: http://www.maketecheasier.com/install-dual-boot-ubuntu-in-macbook-air [10:08] well, you need a usb stick with ubuntu on it for sure [10:09] tim167: you can just boot ubuntu from your usb by holding some option button and an other one don't remember, that was just a regular ubuntu usb we used last week and that worked without any problems [10:10] I would like to install ubuntu core rootfs on SD card. Basically, im following this instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core/InstallationExample but i have problems with chrooting and installing the kernel because it is an armhf rootfs. Any ideas how i could bypass this problem? [10:11] noobmastah: ok, that would be cool, i guess i can just try that,... its an old macbook air though, one of the first models i think [10:11] I though about booting the kernel directly from u-boot loader and then installing the kernel in the rootfs but im not sure about some steps [10:12] tim167: I'm not sure how to install it either, but live usb should be no problem. Is it having an intel processor? [10:12] noobmastah: yes intel for sure === mrjaxon is now known as Norrlanning [10:14] Anyone? :) [10:14] noobmastah: problem is: i need hdiutil which is mac only ?

[10:15] step 1.3 at http://www.maketecheasier.com/install-dual-boot-ubuntu-in-macbook-air [10:15] tim167: what does it? [10:15] Convert the iso file to img format [10:15] tim167: why do you want that? [10:16] to make bootable usb from iso [10:16] tim167: you can dd the iso file directly no need to convert [10:16] noobmastah: are you sure ? [10:16] hi all [10:17] anyone can pass me a good link about pxe on ubuntu? [10:17] tim167: yes [10:17] noobmastah: hmm, ok, then i wonder why they add that step on that page [10:18] noobmastah: anyway I'm gonna try 'unetbootin' [10:18] tim167: I don't know maybe dd doesn't support it on the mac, but I've made so many usb sticks with iso files and they all worked so no I don't see the problem. :P [10:19] Nobody got an idea on how to umount a stale nfs mount when umount -lf /mnt/nfsmount does not work? [10:20] noobmastah: ok, thanks :) [10:20] Hi ! [10:21] noobmastah: so I could simply do "dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/path/to/usb" or such? [10:21] salam [10:22] tim167: correct [10:22] noobmastah: cool, I'll try it out, thanks [10:25] can testdisk be used to recover the only selected files from the partition?

Expect breakage [11:12] wubi isn't meant for more than testing [11:13] when going to 13.04, the installation went sour, and i had to reinstall 12.04, and eversince i have a shit ubuntu: nothing works, updates don't work, programs can't be installed, and i tried to reinstall 4 times already, with every time the same effect [11:13] frustrated_joe, dual boot is the recommended option. If you can't/wont' dual boot, consider virtualbox. [11:13] does anyone know how to uninstall recent updates ? after i updated i vouldnt boot ( low graphics) [11:13] frustrated_joe, you might also consider clean installing rather than online update. [11:13] i can not use anything else tha wubi, since my HD already has already the max number of partitions [11:14] you can use logical partitions [11:14] when i try the DVD to install, i can not partion my HD [11:14] frustrated_joe, false. virtualbox doesnt' need a partition and is more stable than wubi [11:14] frustrated_joe: Use extended and logical partitions. [11:14] can can only choose one of my four partions, not create a new one [11:14] logical passes that limit [11:14] i have no idea what are extended and logical partitions [11:14] !partitions [11:14] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [11:14] animus74: please don't do that [11:15] oh sorry [11:15] frustrated_joe : Either go to logical parts or virtualbox is the best option (and avoid going from LTS to non LTS unles you really need it ... if you want to remain stable) [11:15] i was randomly exploring this app [11:16] but why do i keep having so many problems with ubuntu now, as when i first installed it, added programs, etc, ALL worked without any problem what so ever, why suddenly with reinstall the same way it seems every time more problematic [11:16] frustrated_joe, you're running ubuntu under window's file structure. WHEN windows defrags, so goes your ubuntu. [11:17] Animus74: you should provide more details to help with your problem. what video card, what drivers for it, how did you get said drivers [11:17] Animus74: How does it fail to boot? What sort of error messages show up? What's your graphics card? [11:17] intel graphics . intel pentium . ubuntu 13.04 . it says low graphics mode [11:18] is there any way i can post a picture on this forum thing [11:18] !imagebin | Animus74 [11:18] Animus74: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [11:18] so, it seems that i should a install not using WUBI, but a normal dual boot. i am an absolute noob, is there some easy step by step way? now i have 4 partitions: 3 systemthingies, and the main one [11:19] frustrated_joe, get the 32 bit ubuntu. Install virtualbox on windows. Install 32 bit ubuntu inside virtualbox. [11:19] Frustrated_joe : agreed with cfhowlett, it is the easiest if your machine goes well enough ... [11:19] frustrated_joe, OR you could install the ubuntu, then virtualbox and put your windows inside virtualbox. depends on your needs. [11:19] !virtualbox [11:19] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [11:19] why the going back to the 32bit? [11:20] frustrated_joe: There a plenty of guides online. The main step during the install is splitting the main partition (which should sit under an extended partition) into two partitions, so you end up with more partitions than the hard limit of 4. [11:20] frustrated_joe, cuz your virtualbox likely won't run in 64 bit [11:21] cfhowlett : virtuabox can run both without problem, I have 64 on mine. It only depends on the host OS if it is 32 or 64 [11:21] @mathfreak: could you tell me where to find such a noob guide, and also how to tell later which partition is which in the installation menu of ubuntu, since i have noticed they have not the same names there [11:22] hi, i want to install Ubunut 12.04.03 as windows installer. and i want to install it offline. === nydel_ is now known as nydel [11:22] where could i get complete Ubuntu 12.04 Offline installer? [11:22] okay he message says : the system is runnig in low graphics mode [11:23] frustrated_joe: I followed the Community Ubuntu docs for dual-booting: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [11:23] and what about the option of installing ubuntu on a external HD? is it possible to run all programs that way as well? [11:23] your screen graphics card and input settings could not be detected correctly . you will need to configure these yourself [11:24] it started after an update [11:24] frustrated_joe: If you use the LiveCD, you're given the option to automatically resize the partitions for you. The partition that gets split is going to be the really big one (since that's where all your data and programs sit) === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [11:24] frustrated_joe: It is possible to run Ubuntu off of an external, but beware that your performance will be very unsatisfactory, since USB2.0 has a limit of 480 Mbps (USB3.0 is a bit better with this). [11:25] taken from the windows dualbootlink: "Choose the first option, which should say "Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup". Specify the size of the new partition by dragging the slider at the bottom of the window". With me he never asked this possibility of the new partion by dragging the slider [11:25] frustrated_joe: that dialogue isn't presented on a wubi install. [11:26] ah wubi [11:26] frustrated_joe, ^^^^ [11:26] sorry, now i was talking when i entered the live CD that i made, 64bit [11:26] frustrated_joe, mixing your tutorials is not the safest route [11:26] wubi means: will ultimately be inefficient [11:27] i don't agree, up until i wanted to upgrade, wubi was perfect, never had a problem under 12.10 [11:27] frustrated_joe wubi isnt meant to be upgraded, it's a test installtion [11:27] oh i found out i can access ttty3 [11:28] can i uninstall updates from here? [11:28] I want to install Ubunut 12.04.03 as windows installer. and i want to install it offline. where could i get complete Ubuntu 12.04 Offline installer? [11:29] maxmin: As a windows installer? That sounds like you want to use wubi. Our current discussion suggests that wubi shouldn't be used for anything serious. [11:29] maxmin, windows installer = wubi. Expect very sub-optimal results. wubi is for testing not for long-term installlation [11:29] I had hoped wubi would be gone and forgotten forever [11:30] can i try to install the 13.04 using live DVD, and leaving the 12.04 wubi-version on the pc as well, until i've got the 13.04 up and running? [11:30] MonkeyDu1t, dracula syndrome. just when you thought it was dead ... [11:30] frustrated_joe: Yes. [11:30] i feel like X could be running more smoothly/quickly. from this pastebin after installing my graphics driver does it seem like there are major errors i can easily fix http://pastebin.com/fAE6hrKA - kubuntu 13.10 [11:30] so, my main problem will be the partion, as i understand it? === support is now known as Guest94409 [11:30] the biggest headbreaker [11:31] Animus74: pastebin "lshw -C VIDEO" and "lspci" [11:31] frustrated_joe: yep [11:31] frustrated_joe wubi creates a space inside windows, it's not really a partition [11:31] frustrated_joe: Yup. The automatic partitioner should handle all the heavy work for you. You just need to specify how much space you want to split between ubuntu and windows. [11:31] mathfreak_: not when he already has 4 partitions [11:32] but, like i said, when inserting the dvd, he did NOT ask for the "slider" to partition [11:32] cfhowlett: then can i install it(Ubuntu 12.04) form an ISO image for long term? [11:32] Ben64: Windows sits under an extended partition. [11:32] frustrated_joe: because in order to make more than 4 partitions, an extended partition must be created, which takes up one of the four primary partitions, so you'll have to find one you can delete, at least temporarily [11:32] frustrated_joe what you can try: use the live dvd's gparted [11:33] syntax incorrect? [11:33] so, i should make a new partion in windows 7 first, and then run the live DVD? [11:33] frustrated_joe : really if your pc specs are good enough, go for virtualbox, it's the easiest way to have both system work in parallel [11:33] Ben64: is there something else ? [11:33] because deleting is NOT an option (system-files, backup,...) [11:33] Animus74: you must have typed something wrong [11:33] Ben64: Ah, that would make sense. Never mind. [11:34] be away for 10' [11:34] frustrated_joe: it would help if you let us know what your partition structure was [11:34] maxmin, you have choices. virtualbox inside windows with 32 bit ubuntu is the "safest" way so far as windows is concerned but performance will be limited. dualboot is a bit more work but totally worth the effort [11:34] I sure hope frustrated_joe backs up all his data before he does anything.

[11:55] maxmin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:56] maxmin, one partition for / (root) one for /swap and one for ...? [11:56] what i want to acheive is to load paragon NTFS drivers by default instead of NTFS-3G, i also unninstalled NTFS-3G but then kernel read only drivers got loaded instead of paragon-NTFS, anybody please help [11:56] cfhowlett: Is there a reason to continue setting up a partition for /swap? [11:56] read only situation is worse than R-W, :D [11:57] mathfreak_, habit more than anything, I suppose ... [11:57] mathfreak_, I can't see the harm in giving up 1 - 2% of my HDD to /swap [11:57] i deleted my other partition of windows while installing ubuntu can i recover them [11:57] cfhowlett: could you help me, as mentioned above [11:58] cfhowlett: Well, the space isn't so much an issue, but why not use a swap file instead of a swap partition? [11:58] cfhowlett: does ubuntu prompts me of these partitions whil i installing it? and how much should be each partition? [11:58] kaksddkf, whatever you're doing is over my head so .. sorry. too much ignorance of that point to do you any good [11:59] maxmin, I can tell you mine ... 15 for the / (filesystem) 8 for the /swap and the remainder in a dedicated /home. Your mileage may varry [11:59] vary [12:00] is it GB or MB? [12:00] help me please [12:00] maxmin, GB [12:00] sandman13: did you format the windows partition? [12:00] cfhowlett: i want to improve NTFS R/W perfromance and i installed paragon NTFS drivers, i am getting read/write speed two times more than ntfs-3g, and i want to make them default drivers while mounting any NTFS partition, not only those partitions which are mentioned in /etc/fstab [12:01] for eg. take a NTFS formatted pendrive [12:01] Danato, i selected the option which deletes the windows [12:01] kaksddkf, right. I understood a single digit percentage of that. this is NOT my area of expertise or knowledge. better to ask someone/somewhere else [12:02] cfhowlett: thanks [12:02] sandman13: then yeah, it formated everything, you will have to repartition your disk and reinstall windows on that partition [12:02] kaksddkf: I think pendrives still use FAT32 usually [12:03] kaksddkf i guess you're pioneering with that kind of NTFS format, don't expect much support [12:03] Danato: i'm planning to use ubuntu but i want my data back [12:03] cfhowlett: can i do partitions of 15GB for /root, 8 GB for /Swap and rest for .... before insatlling Ubuntu or Ubuntu ask me to do while installing? [12:03] sandman13: When it deleted the partition, did it take a long time (30+ minutes), or did it take a few seconds? If the latter, most of your files might still be accessible [12:04] kaksddkf oh, paragon ntfs is for mac! [12:04] maxmin, you mean set up the partitions before starting install ? sure [12:04] MonkeyDu1t: i just want to load paragon-ntfs drivers instead of ntfs-3g by default and paragon-ntfs also exist for Linux also [12:04] Danato: don't know i left while it was installing [12:04] kaksddkf did you ask for advice in the !mac channel? [12:05] i can't use ctrl-c in bash (any terminal) on my user, but I can on other users. Ubuntu 13.10. nothing happens when I press ctrl-C in bash to (for example) cancel a half-written command. but if I am running a script and hit ctrl-c it prints ^C to the console [12:05] Danato: i ran testdisk it only shows 96gb marked as linux rest of the disk space is not shown [12:05] MonkeyDu1t: No, this is the only channel i am aware of and this is a great channel to get help from community [12:06] Rory: intr is set wrong for that user [12:06] cfhowlett: I mean: can i re-arrange partitins for these Ubuntu from Windows XP before installing Ubuntu? [12:06] kaksddkf type /join macosx [12:06] kaksddkf type /join #macosx [12:06] MonkeyDu1t: why ? [12:06] ikonia: stty -a http://paste.ubuntu.com/6437124/ [12:07] MonkeyDu1t: he's asking for help in linux, why are you pointing him at macosx [12:07] sandman13: Previously I used http://www.sysresccd.org to recover files on a corrupt filesystem, but it depends if you did a full format or not. If you did a full format your files are lost (afaik) [12:07] Rory: intr = ^V [12:07] ikonia: EOF (C-d) doesn't work either [12:07] sandman, theres an option to install ubuntu that says "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" which is ticked by default, and theres a "Warning: This will delete any files on the disk" [12:07] ikonia my line of thinking was: paragon is a mac thing, wouldnt harm to ask advice there [12:07] MonkeyDu1t: will they help me regarding the same issue, because i am on linux and i am using linux drivers and i never used MAC [12:07] maxmin, you're using windows to rearrange your partitions? (Oh AND using xp? :) well, you could but, I always found the gparted tool in ubuntu to be easier to deal with [12:08] MonkeyDu1t: there is a linux version also, the mac version would work different [12:08] Danato: yes i chose that [12:08] sandman13: try to run gparted and see what it shows you [12:08] Rory: yes, because it's not set, look at the output you pasted [12:08] well, learned something new then [12:09] it shows whole disk of 500gb with 11.2gb occupied [12:10] ikonia: i don't really understand how stty works, I only came across it while investigating this. it says "eof = ^D" - I also can't use the scrollshweel on my mouse which might be related, might not. xorg.conf is empty [12:10] Rory: have you changed anything with your current user ? [12:10] Rory: as the tty settings don't get changed without effort, especially not on a perminent basis [12:11] ikonia: no, I don't think so, I only installed this morning [12:11] cfhowlett: does ubuntu prompts me to do partions while installing Ubuntu? [12:11] ikonia: it works if I switch terminal with ctrl-alt-f5 [12:11] Rory: have you done anything like run scripts, install packages from external repos etc etc. [12:11] ikonia: I have the nvidia graphics driver from xorg-edgers on this thinkpad W530 [12:11] Rory: looks like your current terminal is messed up if it works in other terminals [12:11] maxmin, yes. the first option is to let ubuntu auto install everything. don't. there's also an install next to windows option. Yes. OR you can go all manual and set it up yourself. [12:12] Rory: echo "$BASH_VERSION, $TERM" [12:12] hello, i'm back after having lunch... i will try again the reinstall... can i make a partition in my wubi 12.04, and use that partition then to install the 13.04 live dvd? is the partion made in wubi 12.04 a good partition? [12:12] ikonia: Well it doesn't work in gnome-terminal, xterm or terminator so I'm wondering if it's an X or Unity thing [12:12] maxmin, also, if you boot ubuntu and launch "try ubuntu" you can go online to IRC for support. then launch the installer. [12:12] geirha: 4.2.45(1)-release, xterm [12:12] Rory: again, those things don't get changed on their own [12:13] Rory: you can test this just doing "stty intr ^C" [12:13] then interupt should work with ctrl+c [12:13] ikonia: Not straight after doing that, do i have to run "reset"? [12:13] (note you have to do stty intr ctrl+v ctrl+c" to get ^C char - don't do shift +6 C) [12:14] cfhowlett: thank you. i will do like that. [12:14] frustrated_joe: wubi is godawful. What version of Windows are you using? [12:14] maxmin, you could also install only ubuntu and put XP inside ubuntu via virtualbox [12:14] ikonia: Yes I'm aware of that, wasn't just typing "^C" [12:14] Rory: ok, so that should enable "interupt" being bound to ctrl+c [12:14] maxmin: XP is EOL on 1st APril 2014, just so you know [12:15] win 7 [12:15] ActionParsnip, "come to end, it's time has and not soon enough!" to quote Yoda. [12:16] and yes, i am told off many times in here about the wubi-quality, that's why i am looking to reinstall [12:16] frustrated_joe : I currently have xubuntu 12.04 with virtualbox and windows 7 running inside, it runs fine but I have 4 cores and 6Go RAM [12:16] ikonia: After running that, "stty -a" shows "intr = ^C" but cannot use ctrl-c [12:16] cfhowlett: not a bad Windows version, does what it says on the tin [12:17] Rory: what happens when you press "ctrl +c" [12:17] ikonia: Absolutely nothing [12:17] Rory: does it not display anything on screen ? [12:18] frustrated_joe: if you resize your NTFS (Win7 can resize its own NTFS partitions), you can then install to the freed space. Or if you are installing from scratch, leave unpartitioned space and install to that and bypass the resizing phase altogether [12:18] ikonia: as in, type some text in a terminal without pressing Return, pres ctrl+c and nothing happens [12:18] ikonia: Nothing prints to the screen [12:18] im looking for an alternative package for laptop anti-theft like 'prey', any sugestions? [12:18] !info prey [12:18] prey (source: prey): utility for tracking stolen computers. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.3-7.1ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 527 kB, installed size 1101 kB [12:19] Rory: can I have a look at the output of stty now please. [12:20] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/FpEfRWge [12:21] Rory: does ctrl+m work if you press it for EOL [12:21] ikonia: Yes [12:21] I'm sure there's something in the x server which is intercepting the ctrl-c [12:22] Rory: why do you think that ? [12:22] ikonia: Just because it works when I switch to TTY 5 [12:22] Rory: you could get a better idea doing "stty intr ^S" and testing ctrl+s as interupt [12:22] Rory: which desktop and/or shell do you use? [12:22] Rory: Someone had a similar case with Konsole in #bash last month. If he started Konsole from KDE, ctrl+C didn't work. If he started Konsole via Alt+F2 run-dialog, it worked. [12:22] Rory: and which release? [12:23] Rory: and that isn't default behaviour, hence why I'm querying what you did [12:23] Rory: We didn't figure out what caused it though [12:23] ikonia: Setting it to ctrl-s doesn't work, as in, I can't use ctrl-s as intr [12:23] Rory: try a few other keys, that may give a clue if it's not taking interupt, or not taking the keys [12:24] Rory: get someone with a standad ubuntu install to verify the behaviour and stty output [12:24] Rory: yours does not look standard at all [12:24] I'm using Cinnamon currently but it also happens in Unity. I'll try some things. I'll also try removing the nvidia driver and seeing if using the open source one works [12:24] Rory: I think you're rushing ahead at random things [12:24] Rory: which desktop and/or shell do you use? and which release? [12:24] Rory: try to break it down more [12:25] Rory: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [12:27] Rory: no need to pastebin, its a single line so can paste in the channel [12:32] ActionParsnip: why /etc/issue rather than lsb_release? [12:33] geirha: its a single line and works on any standard GNU Linux distro [12:33] ActionParsnip: Except the sysadmin may decide to change it [12:36] hi all, i've got a usb stick that was encrypted with truecrypt but has been yanked before unmounting from a windows machine and is now 'unmountable'. I'm on a new ubuntu system and it's just /dev/sdb - i can't dd it because it says it's read only, i've checked hdparm and turned read only off but i'm still getting the same problem - any idea where i might be able to start to overwrite this bugger?

[13:43] TIBS02: Mostly from the net [13:43] !minimal | TIBS02 [13:43] TIBS02: 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 [13:43] TIBS02: the Mini ISO installs (mostly) from the network, yes [13:43] if i have two boxes one is running M$ and the other is running ubuntu. Ubuntu box is head less, and in the same network as M$. how can i export ubuntu destop to windows machine please [13:43] wicked thankies [13:43] ill install that now [13:44] Dacs, export? you mean to install it?

[13:49] djdie, yeah why don;t you get ubuntu in french...

Thanks in advance [13:50] Hello Everyone. I'm having problems installing a network printer. After I chose it, it looks for a driver, then neither gutenprint nor local driver do anything. After I click Forwards it just stays there. [13:50] cfhowlett: i want to pull ubuntu destop [13:50] tiago_, greetings [13:50] Any ideas? [13:50] Perhaps command line alternative to do it?

[13:53] it worked!

Where can I get information about this parameter? I'm using Duckduckgo and google for more than an hour now :( [14:03] zughdsdsa: It might be worth asking in ##linux somebody there may have an idea, its probably pretty rare most people here will have come across it if they're not compiling kernels (which is what I assume you're doing) [14:03] Howdy folks [14:04] BluesKaj: hey!

[14:29] FAT32* [14:30] junka: No. Also EXT4 has significantly more features as a filesystem than FAT32. You should only use FAT32 where you need cross-OS compatibility, as it's supported by almost everything [14:31] Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to get ifconfig or iwconfig in crouton for chromebooks?? [14:32] Touhou11, thanks. Is there a better filesystem than EXT4? [14:32] junka: EXT4 is a good general purpose filesystem. There are other specialized filesystems which are better in specific scenarios, but unless you're running a large server farm I wouldn't worry about it [14:33] @junka, if you're a home user, stick to ext4 [14:33] im looking for an alternative anti-theft package like 'prey', any sugestions?

[14:47] what is ubuntus equivalent to debian-keyring? [14:47] user__: tried renaming the libreoffice configuration folder then relaunch the application [14:47] sabgenton: gnome-keyring [14:47] thanks [14:48] ActionParsnip, all sorts of things [14:49] makara: for web access etc you can use Squid through an SSH tunnel [14:49] makara: not used vpn in Ubuntu myself. [14:49] AMD Xconfig resets on every reboot. :( [14:50] ActionParsnip, I want to use a VPN, if only for my education [14:50] ActionParsnip, any hints as to the folder location [14:50] ActionParsnip, I was not convinced with Squid. It's config file is enormous. [14:50] user__: in ~/.config maybe, or just in ~ [14:50] Does anyone know if using winbind to bind to my ActiveDirectory will register multiple hostnames to the DC's DNS? [14:50] I'm using the fglrx drivers, and I've asked in #ati... but all I get is . [14:50] ActionParsnip, so I'm looking into Nginx for reverse proxying my website. But even that isn't going so smoothly [14:51] user__: no bad thing, are there not videos on YouTube etc on this? [14:51] makara: I use squid+ssh, the only line I changed was allow from all hosts :) [14:51] ActionParsnip, on what, the original error i posted or libreoffice dir [14:52] user__: the libreoffice directory in ~/.config , rename it then launch the application. Is it better? [14:52] ActionParsnip, no libreoffice under ~/.config [14:52] ActionParsnip: is there a way to bypass public key unavailability (I'm experimenting in vm with different repos) ? [14:53] or lib-anything [14:53] ActionParsnip, :) well I need to know squid too. in time.... [14:55] user__: is there a hidden folder in $HOME then? [14:55] sabgenton: just import the GPG key (I assume you mean for a PPA) [14:56] Touhou11, what about JFS? I read it has low CPU usage [14:58] http://askubuntu.com/questions/22456/jfs-vs-ext4-vs-ext3 [14:58] ActionParsnip: no I'm messing with debian unstable gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys bla seems to be working [14:58] junka: interesting stuff [14:58] sabgenton: debian isnt supported here [14:58] ActionParsnip: but is there any way you can just turn of the checking? [14:58] sabgenton: ask in #debian [14:59] junka: I used JFS for a while.

[15:01] no but what if I want to make my own ppa, ppas come from debian unstable a lot of the time [15:01] sabgenton: You can't turn off the checking, but you can ignore it [15:01] sabgenton: no, PPAs are made by people compileing their own code and making deb files [15:02] jpds: how do you ignore it? [15:02] sabgenton: No, PPAs are only for Ubuntu. [15:02] jpds: but some are made from debian unstable [15:02] sabgenton: sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes [15:02] sabgenton: that's their porogative, PPAs are also not supported here [15:02] !ppa | sabgenton [15:02] sabgenton: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[15:06] sabgenton: if you can give the full output ofL sudo apt-get update I can advise [15:07] can i disable journaling on ext4? [15:07] junka: you can convert it to Ext2, yes [15:07] ActionParsnip: that generates a new config. I already have a working config. The problem is that it gets reset every reboot.

[15:16] sabgenton: btw, your 'ubuntu' distro is not supported here as you are adding Debian sources to your OS [15:16] oh [15:16] sabgenton: personally I think its a debian box with Ubuntu repos added, which I doubt the debian guys will touch [15:16] so that was just a warning === dwatkins_ is now known as dwatkins [15:16] sabgenton: yes the GPG key thing is a warning [15:16] as in it does nothing?

Uninstalling the fglrx *crap* and simply using the radeon driver, as well as the Display options in System Settings... JUST WORKS. I would have figured that the stuff straight from AMD would have worked *better*. [15:18] SuperLag: not always the case [15:19] ActionParsnip: a little frustrated... can you tell? :) [15:19] SuperLag: there is a legacy PPA for 2xxx 3xxx and 4xxx ATI GPUs which helps in Precise [15:19] ActionParsnip: which part isn't always the case? that the closed-source workes better?

[15:31] farhang: gimme a sec....jeez [15:31] what's the smallest ISO live cd ? [15:32] farhang: echo "options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null [15:32] farhang: reboot to test [15:32] buonasera [15:32] A_I_: puppylinux is very small [15:32] My question is from any linux geek here, i am a noob in linux but discovered a way to make a fast performing system, by default in nautilus left pane, while mounting NTFS partitions ntfs-3g drivers loads , i installed paragon NTFS drivers for better performance and they are providing better performance, what do i want to make paragon drivers default drivers while mounting any ntfs partition, instead of ntfs-3g. How to do that? anybody please help or guide wh [15:32] DSL is probably smaller. [15:32] A_I_: tinycore or xpud [15:32] tinyis 12Mb :) [15:33] :-) [15:33] thanks a lot guys ! === om26er is now known as om26er1 [15:33] LucidGuy: I purchased from http://www.instantssl.com before, they were the cheapest after researching. Not the slickest customer service, but the certificate is fine === om26er1 is now known as om26er [15:33] i also uninstalled ntfs-3g but then kernel read only driver came into effect [15:33] Touhou11: SSL purchasing is offtopic here [15:34] @Α_Ι, I agree, any ligtweight live distro would do! [15:34] kaksddkf: the mount option -t dictates the kenrel moudule used, within nautlius that is different, you'd have to research where it takes those options, I suspect it comes from dbus [15:34] ikonia: it comes from udisk i think [15:35] kaksddkf: what is udisk ? [15:36] Touhou11, thanks [15:39] hi ... i cant set the 'roll up' (toggle shade) on titlebar double click .. even though i made respective settings using gnome-tweak-tool and ubuntu-tweak ... is it a compiz issue ... any idea? ubuntu 12.04-64 [15:40] what is the compression of vmlinuz kernel found in /boot/ ? [15:40] kiwi_: ask in #compiz too [15:40] ok [15:40] jcz: use file command on the files, it may tell you [15:40] hello guys [15:40] the window maximes on double click, though it shouldnt [15:41] ActionParsnip: it just says that its data [15:41] jcz: bum [15:41] I'm using an Ubuntu-based distro now. One question. How do I install gambas2 on my PC? [15:41] ActionParsnip: ? [15:42] ubuntuuser: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [15:42] jcz: just an exclamation of exasperation [15:42] ubuntuuser: exactly what distribution are you using [15:42] ActionParsnip: i think you are a great linux PRO. [15:43] Zorin OS 7 @ikonia [15:43] ubuntuuser: not supported here [15:43] ubuntuuser: ask in #zorinos [15:43] ubuntuuser: ok, so #zorin is the correct support channel [15:43] ah #zorinos sorry [15:43] kaksddkf: been around the block a few times, thee are better than me by a LOT [15:43] sure then. I thought I might get some support since Zorin is UBuntu-based but thanks anyways [15:43] ubuntuuser you can try the ubuntu software centre [15:44] ubuntuuser: sorry about that [15:44] ActionParsnip: i have seen you many times here, solving difficult problems of the guys/gals [15:44] !cookie | ActionParsnip [15:44] kaksddkf: www.duckduckgo.com www.google.com is all I use.... [15:44] ActionParsnip: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [15:44] Hey its off-topic but I wanna make friend from US. :P [15:44] santosh: try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##club-ubuntu [15:44] I can talk about Xubuntu here right? [15:45] santosh go to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:45] ubuntuuser: Might be better suited to #xubuntu [15:45] ubuntuuser: yes, Xubuntu is a supported distro from Canonical. Zorin is not [15:45] oh damn, he did it before me [15:46] is there a gui to change the boot screen? [15:46] or loading.. [15:46] ollie-: use super-boot-manager [15:46] Great. So I burned a xubuntu 13.10 iso to a CD today and stuck in into my CD drive. Tried to boot it off the bootloader (F12) but drive did not detect anything and went straight to GRUB [15:47] ubuntuuser: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [15:47] ubuntuuser: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? [15:47] ollie try plymouth manager [15:47] I burned it at x16 speed so === ClumsyFairyQueen is now known as coffee-zombie [15:48] ubuntuuser: did you MD5 test the ISO? [15:48] i didnt see super-boot-manager in the software centre, so i will try plymouth manager [15:48] hello, is it a right forum to discuss the troubles with ati ?? [15:48] Salutations. [15:48] and how do I do it (sorry, Linux NOOB) @ActionParship [15:48] ollie-: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth; sudo update-initramfs -u [15:49] ollie-: you can choose from the themes you have installed [15:49] !md5 | ubuntuuser [15:49] ubuntuuser: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:49] ubuntuuser: without MD5 test, how did you know the data was complete and cosistant?? [15:49] where can i find alternative themes? [15:49] ollie sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ingalex/super-boot-manager [15:49] oh wait, i will google this [15:49] ollie-: there are some in the repos [15:49] adding that PPA is a bad idea [15:50] sudo apt-get update [15:50] sudo apt-get install super-boot-manager [15:50] the unity desktop is having trouble wherea s gnome-shell and xubuntu-desktop si working... [15:50] impradeepy: considering I gave the command to set the theme, seems a bit pointless [15:50] Roshan: Gnome is the desktop, Unity is a shell :) [15:50] agreed [15:50] "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ingalex/super-boot-manager/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-i386/Package" [15:50] impradeepy: adding that PPA is a bad idea. [15:51] ActionParsnip gnome-shell is working .. [15:51] impradeepy: doing it blindly is an even worse one [15:51] ollie-: doesnt support Saucy http://ppa.launchpad.net/ingalex/super-boot-manager/ubuntu/dists [15:51] impradeepy: ^ [15:51] hmm but without testing [15:51] impradeepy: only goes up to Raring [15:51] i am using 13.04 [15:51] yes [15:51] impradeepy: ollie- isnt [15:51] ActionParsnip i was puzzled to see why lspci -vvnn | grep VGA didnt show ATI?AMD whereas fglrx showed .. [15:52] but we should try atleast to add something to our repository sometimes it did works === parduse is now known as Guest14 [15:52] Hi. I'm having some problems setting a bluetooth speakers [15:52] hmm [15:52] is this the right place to ask? [15:52] ActionParnsip: in guest mode , the unity launcher and top panel is coming but no backgrund .. [15:53] impradeepy: the PPA you advised doesnt support the release the user has, so why advise it? [15:53] reset unity === calin is now known as Guest97500 [15:54] Roshan: Unity is a plugin for Compiz, Gnome shell uses mutter (might be metacity) either way, fewer issues as junk Compiz isnt running [15:54] actually was not knowing [15:54] it's the correct MD5 [15:54] impradeepy: makes sense to ask first doesnt it [15:54] ActionParsnip, hi, it hasn't been solved yet :\ [15:54] agreed [15:55] cheers :) [15:55] 1048df77899ca8d9d6ba23427b4d6259 (xubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso) [15:55] ActionParsnip: ya , but how to get opengl module loaded?? my account was blank but in guest modeit is partial blank .. [15:55] farhang: ok, remove the line from the file, you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to get write access [15:55] Roshan: which release are you using? [15:55] ubuntu 13.10 amd64 [15:56] ActionParsnip : ubuntu 13.10 amd64 === Moo is now known as Guest31425 [15:56] Roshan: not sure then dude. Are there any bugs reported? IMHO Compiz is a joke and should be ditched [15:56] lol [15:57] ActionParsnip: i hv not tried ubuntu 13.04 .. it is first ubuntu release , i want to try web apps .. [15:57] ActionParnsip: so Unity is a joke?? [15:57] welp, MD5 is correct er [15:58] hmm.. i cannot (or dont know how) to add any themes to the boot loader thingy [15:58] ActionParsnip, your opinion of compiz is not relevant to support. I'm using it (with xfce) as a WM with Emerald as the decorator and it works extremely well for my usage. [16:00] mbeierl: i can still express my opinion [16:00] mbeierl, ok .. let me try the problem of compiz with amd [16:00] mbeierl, my amd driver is Radeon HD 8600M series [16:01] I am currently starting my internet connection via a simple shell script which runs "sudo wvdial" (the script is owned by root with a no password clause in sudoers file) but when I run it it keeps a window open titled "sudo". How can I make this run silently in the background? [16:01] Roshan, you can determine whichi plugin that compiz uses by installing ccsm and disabling each plugin one at a time [16:01] ollie ve u installed themes from synaptics? [16:02] mbeierl: isn't emerald no longer maintained? [16:02] Roshan, perhaps only one plugin is responsible for the crappy performance [16:02] !emerald | auronandace yes. [16:02] auronandace yes.: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [16:02] wheatthin, oh ..ok [16:02] can't really decide between ubuntu and mint [16:02] maniong .. [16:03] maniong, put & at the end of the command .. [16:03] maniong, there u change it to background job :) [16:03] sandman13: the mint community is significantly smaller than Ubuntu's [16:03] Roshan, oh ok thanks =) [16:03] sandman13 ubuntu [16:03] not that size matters :P [16:03] lol [16:04] sandman13, try the live cd's for both and decide for yourself... they both have their own merits =) [16:04] i think Linux mint switched to debain to avoid the ubuntu security updates .. still theu get debain security patches [16:04] and they are even [16:04] i have run both but cannot decide [16:05] sandman13 flip a coin [16:05] sandman13 try fedora u ll increase ur confussion [16:05] maniong , u can try learning about hot plug [16:06] maniong, em trying this .. instead of modprobe everytime [16:07] Roshan, wvdial isn't an elegant fix but it's the best I can figure out with this mobile broadband for now.... it's..... utilitarian >_> [16:07] maniong, can add it to /etc/modules.d to autoload [16:07] I'm using Pidgin, and in Preferences... I've got "Show System Tray Icon" set to Always. But it doesn't show up on the Menu bar. [16:08] impradeepy, i have installed ubuntu [16:08] wheatthin: that way it does modprobe everytime ..or hv to do with modprobe.conf ?? [16:08] so no more confusion? sandman13 [16:09] Roshan, just add it to modules.d, and it'll load the module at boot every time [16:09] wheatthin: does it automatically wvdial everytime when it is hot-plugged or i hv to execute it?? [16:09] ahh, you have to execute it [16:09] ???? I'm not loading any kernel modules just a ppp script [16:09] wvdial* [16:09] ahh, then do it with cron [16:09] longviewbits: if you are using unity, it will not...pidgin is however integrated to the message indicator (envelope) with the package pidgin-libnotify enabled. If is not, you need to enable it in Tools>Plugins>search for Libnotify [16:10] wheatthin: ok .. let me see , [16:10] impradeepy: yes and no [16:10] sandman13 13.10? [16:10] Oh so I can use cron to automagically run wvdial whenever I plug it in? [16:11] hello there [16:11] xangua: Libnotify popups? [16:11] what's up people [16:12] i have aprob with xsane to operate the scanner of my canon pixma mp230. Found info about compiling and replace some sane-backend files to have a more updated version to supporet the scanner [16:12] problöem is that the suggestion using git to get the sources doesnt connect at all [16:13] Phixab: did you check the Canon Europe website for support? They make debs for some of their products. [16:13] already donne it and installed [16:14] doesnnt make xsane to work or detect the scanner [16:14] git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git [16:14] Phixab: tried simplescan? [16:14] that command ddint work to conenct to download the sources i need to upgrade [16:14] none of the scanner apps worlks [16:15] "no scanners detected" on any app strying tooperate the scanner [16:15] thr printing worksw [16:15] just the scanner that isnt detected yet [16:16] and the sane-backends should be on version at least : [16:16] git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git [16:17] root@lappis:~# scanimage -V [16:17] scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.22; backend version 1.0.22 [16:17] should be at least 1.0.23 to be able to operate the scanner i have [16:17] Phixab: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [16:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2177594 [16:17] read there and the info aboput the git instruction [16:18] Phixab: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [16:18] Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l [16:19] Phixab: A rather common problem with recent releases is that the permissions on the scanner device are root only, or a group that the user is not automatically added to. [16:19] Roshan, adding an ampersand after the command didn't seem to help it still runs in a terminal window titled "sudo" [16:19] sure , but thescanimage shows too old version [16:20] Phixab: You might check /dev and see if the scanner is there, and you might also look through dmesg to see if there are any pertinent messages. [16:20] it wont be detected/operate properly anyways afaik from google [16:20] maniong .. press enter now [16:20] u ll see the prompt ..now .. [16:20] Phixab: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/sane; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade will give sane-backends 1.0.23 [16:20] Phixab: https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewaldock/+archive/sane?field.series_filter=precise [16:20] Phixab: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=sane-backends [16:21] maniong_: cron is strictly a time-based scheduler. udev is event driven, it can take actions when a device is connected. There are other systems that can take actions when a connection comes up.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [16:23] jhutchins_wk: i suppose udev is based on hotplug??

[16:24] Roshan: Not sure how to explain the differences. udev is a lower-level, more modern system. hotplug was an interim system that preceeded it but still has it's uses. [16:25] ActionParsnip, hi again, sorry i disconnected. [16:25] Phixab: alioth is down. Check in #debian. [16:25] ActionParsnip, after gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf what should i do ????

After a Bit can I just Uninstall Unity? [16:49] it's set to auto, but i have the IPs set from years ago in the gui config. it has to be reading it's info from somewhere [16:49] !purekde | Duel [16:49] Duel: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [16:49] Is x forwarding fast enough to game with? [16:50] CADBOT: Generally not [16:50] bummer. thanks!

[17:11] I feel like messing about in the CLI with ffmpeg while I'm trying to stream something would be a bit unprofessional. [17:11] chamunks: twitchtv/ustream/etc? [17:13] i agree it's not really user friendly [17:13] but once you get it working it's not much of an issue [17:13] ffmpeg was the only thing working for me [17:13] I'm having a problem with CPU Monitor screenlet launching 6 screenlets when I only want 3. Plus, since yesterday, two image boxes are opening which I never launched in the first place.

[17:17] some sort of guidance [17:18] harsh410, you must be fairly new to irc. Generally asking the question is more efficient. [17:18] harsh410, also I didn't intend to come off as an asshat my apologies. [17:18] well thats correct @chamunks [17:18] i am new here [17:19] chamunks: truth is that even on Windows you don't have so many softwares for this (and the most known one works with a monthly subscription -.-) [17:19] @chamunks its ok ..atleast ur guiding me [17:19] FFSplit, OBS, Xsplit, seem to be the best options but I think there are one or two others but those are the biggies. [17:20] @chamunks i know php...and have done some coding on C++ in past [17:20] OBS doesn't support linux sadly and I don't think ffsplit does either and they're both "open source" [17:20] chamunks: i found this https://github.com/Pholey/Xstreamer [17:20] harsh410, fair enough what is it that you're looking to get out of here. [17:20] @chamunks u want me to get out of here?? [17:20] i came here to learn and see :) [17:21] harsh410, absolutely not. [17:21] I'm just curious. [17:21] Essentially trying to help you figure out what you're looking to find out. [17:21] harsh410: "to get out of here" as in "what are you looking for" [17:21] harsh410: he wasn't telling you to go away! :) [17:21] 95% of the time in IRC the problem lies in knowing the correct question to ask. [17:22] togusa chamunk ok [17:22] ok [17:22] i will put my question [17:22] :) [17:22] I'm the farthest thing from an authority in here regardless. [17:22] i have downloaded php gtk [17:22] i know some php and c++ [17:23] harsh410: are you asking "how to contribute to ubuntu" or "i want to program something on ubuntu"? [17:23] i want to program something on ubuntu [17:23] harsh410 try #ubuntu-app-devel [17:24] that would likely be a good place to start /j #ubuntu-app-devel [17:24] harsh410: you don't need any particular procedure then [17:25] harsh410: you can follow the quickstart tutorials of the framework you decided to use (gtk, right?) [17:25] harsh410: gtk has php bindings? [17:25] yes [17:25] yes [17:25] i thought you were going to use c++ :D [17:25] i got some info [17:25] after 5-6 hrs i was successful in installing a php gtk [17:25] so where is the conf for the desktop configuration during the login screen? [17:26] I noticed my multimonitor configuration is wrong during login, but fine under my user account [17:26] harsh410, you could just use tasksel to install a full out LAMP stack [17:26] i don't think i ever saw a php app in gtk [17:26] [Linux Apache MySQL PHP] = Lamp [17:26] gimmic: not working for me either, as i have two monitors with different resolution :/ [17:26] ok [17:26] gimmic: it's just ugly, not a real issue as it works fine when you login [17:26] @chamunks but then it willalways need a lamp [17:26] Yeah, I've got 3- two are the same and one is a diff resolution [17:27] my problem is actually just the order [17:27] PHP as far as I thought PHP was something that required a web server. [17:27] 1 - 2 - 3 in my userenv is 1 - 3 - 2 during login [17:27] gimmic: i tried to force both order and resolution several times, i just gave up [17:27] gimmic: if you find a way let me know [17:27] @lecoeus yes ur right this is why i came here to check iif i am on right track [17:27] will do [17:27] ok I've got to head off. Thanks Togusa I'll look into those things. [17:27] it will bother me otherwise, OCD powers activate! [17:27] chamunks: see ya! [17:27] gimmic: only thing you can do is to move the physical screens [17:28] not an option [17:28] the center display is larger than the other side ones [17:28] gimmic: because you probably changed the order from inside env [17:28] harsh410: i would take a look at c++ and qt [17:28] well, the login screen has to have it's own env, else how would the multimonitor even work [17:28] harsh410: qtcreator is a really nice ide for that [17:28] gimmic: i see :/ well you might try to force it using xorg.conf but i never managed to get it working [17:28] I'll poke at it [17:28] ok [17:29] harsh410: i support lecoeus, i love Qt :) [17:29] @lecoeus and python? [17:29] python is good too [17:29] it also has qt bindings [17:29] and gtk [17:29] harsh410: for Python you can use PyCharm: http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/ [17:29] depends on what you want to program really [17:30] it's got a free of charge edition (community) [17:30] unless it's too performance-dependent, python is good [17:30] Togusa: ok [17:30] Togusa: i want to develop things that can be used in a lan [17:30] Togusa: office use etc [17:33] harsh410: well, use Python then [17:33] really, any language is fine [17:33] (almost) [17:33] Togusa: ok thx ..and how is ubuntu demand in Europe [17:34] harsh410: what do you mean? are you talking about market share? [17:35] Togusa: yes ubuntu in market or people using it..or companies implementing servers on it .. [17:36] harsh410: not very different compared to other places [17:36] harsh410: most servers (afaik) use centos/red hat/debian [17:36] harsh410: i have found opensuse is popular in europe [17:36] it might be the only continent in which it is actually popular [17:36] harsh410: but if you develop using Python + Qt or C++/Qt you don't really care about the platform [17:37] ok [17:37] you of course have to avoid stuff like hard-coding paths, using native APIs directly etc [17:38] Togusa: ok thats a precious info..so wat i develop for ubuntu can work for suse etc as well [17:38] yes, if done right [17:38] ok [17:39] Togusa: i appreciate the help..can qt work for windows as well [17:40] harsh410: you can almost run it on your coffee making machine =) [17:40] harsh410: it works everywhere, and you can easily obtain a fully functional build environment from the Qt Project website [17:40] OK [17:40] harsh410: not sure what's the procedure if you want to use Qt with Python, as i've never done it [17:41] ok [17:41] how to connect iphone with ubuntu? [17:41] you still build the ui in qtcreator [17:41] then you import it in the python script [17:41] oaulakh: SUB cable usually [17:41] lecoeus: ok [17:41] sub cable? :o [17:41] *usb [17:41] :P [17:42] oaulakh: USB* [17:42] oaulakh: or use Bluetooth [17:42] but how to add songs without itunes? [17:42] oaulakh: banshee or Rhythmbox [17:43] how with banshee? [17:45] Togusa: for the login monitor thing, did you try copying user's ~./config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/lightdm/.config/ ? [17:46] looks like the default conf lightdm uses is there [17:46] gimmic: i didn't, as i'm using KDM [17:46] ah [17:46] but let me know if it works [17:47] gimmic: we just have to hang in here until we have wayland =) [17:47] Hey guys... How to install gcc with openmp support? I have installed gcc, but #gcc -v doesn't show openmp [17:48] howdie! [17:49] Hello, spurlz [17:49] hexorg: you might need to install something else: apt-cache search gomp [17:50] im looking for an alternative to 'prey' an anti-theft package for laptops, any sugestions?

( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [17:56] so the Ubuntu Developer Summit is coming up. Is there a video stream I can watch? [17:56] what size of swap space should be allocated for 4gb ram and 500gb hardisk [17:56] !swap | sandman13 [17:56] sandman13: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [17:57] sandman13: 4.4Gb is what I'd suggest [17:58] can it later be extended? i have given 2gb only [17:58] sandman13: You can make a swap file instead of a partition instead [17:58] ?? [17:58] sandman13: This would give you the ability to make your swap larger if you really need to in the future [17:58] mathfreak_: maybe the ubuntu dev guys might know? [17:59] sandman13: swap doesn't have to be its own partition. You can use a file for swap space instead [17:59] mathfreak_: #ubuntu-devel [17:59] guess which distro made my sound card not work on linux [17:59] thanks lotuspsychje [17:59] yw [17:59] mathfreak_: i believe UDS is now held on G+ :( [17:59] okay [18:00] [12:11:17] Anyone know good software for livestreaming in ubuntu? ---> quvi? [18:00] zykotick9: Ah. I guess I'll have to make a fake G+ account to watch then [18:00] allstarsnorks2: better ask your issue mate [18:00] * Ari-Yang shrugs [18:00] sandman13: https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux-swap-space [18:00] !quvi | chamunks [18:00] sandman13: That page describes how to make a swap file (instead of a swap partition). Scroll down to "Swap file" [18:00] After I watched a YouTube video, the sound was killed off [18:01] allstarsnorks2: anything usefull in /var/log/syslog.1? [18:01] where can i find this? [18:01] mathfreak_ i have seen this http://askubuntu.com/questions/33697/adding-swap-partition-after-system-installation [18:02] allstarsnorks2: browse your hd with nautilus and goto /var/log [18:02] allstarsnorks2: or open logviewer [18:03] Which is the best app for playing DVD movies now? [18:03] sandman13: Seems like the answers there describe how to make a partition for swap (which you can do, but it's not necessary). [18:03] jubale: i like vlc [18:03] VLC tries loading movie, but it goes blank. [18:03] is 2gb okay for now mathfreak_ [18:03] jubale: did you open the whole folder with vlc? [18:03] jubale: do you have restricted extras installed? [18:03] Yes. [18:04] sandman13: 2 GB sounds great. To be honest, as a single-user, I've never really needed to use swap, at all. === map is now known as Guest10102 [18:04] jubale: graphics card driver installed? [18:04] okay will see you after installation [18:04] Which folder, VIDEO_TS? [18:04] Nov 18 15:08:28 weijie-ThinkPad-SL gnome-session[2591]: CRITICAL: gsm_manager_set_phase: assertion `GSM_IS_MANAGER (manager)' failed Nov 18 15:08:28 weijie-ThinkPad-SL gnome-session[2591]: Gtk-CRITICAL: gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed [18:05] jubale: you need to play the folder containing video_ts and audio_ts with vlc [18:05] this is wierd... packages.ubuntu.com list libfftw3_omp.a as one of the files. But it's not on my system when I install libfftw3-dev :-( [18:07] what does encrypt my home folder means [18:07] Hi, Will ubuntu become slow by installing hundreds of apps? like windows? [18:07] !encrypt | sandman13 [18:07] sandman13: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [18:08] where can i find help from Ubuntu Builder? [18:08] mojtaba: it all depends how full your hd is [18:08] mojtaba: depends on your storage hardware [18:08] lotuspsychje: can't get a thing [18:08] sandman13: Encrypting your home folder means just that. Your home folder becomes encrypted when you are logged out, and ecryptfs will decrypt your home folder's contents as-needed when you log in. [18:08] lotuspsychje: daftykins: Suppose I have enough storage [18:09] mojtaba: no, it's about the type - SSD vs. HDD etc. [18:09] mathfreak_ that means i have to enter password every time i access the home folder [18:09] hexorg: which arch? I see it on amd64 here: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfftw3_omp.a [18:09] daftykins: Is it possible to move around the installed app in ubuntu? [18:10] newbie. [18:10] mojtaba: sorry i don't understand [18:10] i have checked the hash sum for the PCBSD DVD.iso that i've downoaded & now need to check this against the hash sum for the DVD which is provided as a bin file ending md5 & i've cd'd into the correct directory. what command should i use to compare the DVD hash sum with .bin file hash sum? [18:10] oh you mean like defragmenting? [18:10] sandman13: if you want to hibernate / suspend you will need as much swap as you do RAM [18:10] amesbury_eu: openssl md5 filename.bin [18:10] daftykins: In windows if I change the folder of an application it will not work. Is it the same in ubuntu? [18:10] sandman13: You have to enter your password once (at log in). Usage remains the same as if it was unencrypted. [18:10] mojtaba: how do you 'change the folder' of an application? [18:11] mojtaba: yep [18:11] Togusa thanks! [18:11] test [18:11] test [18:11] !test | gimmic [18:11] gimmic: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [18:11] !test | gimmic [18:11] ActionParsnip: suspend mean sleep in ubuntu [18:11] Sorry! [18:11] sandman13: that sort of thing, yes [18:11] Wasn't even in the right window [18:11] mathfreak_: argh can't decide what to do [18:11] Togusa: the monitors.xml worked great btw for lightdm [18:12] gimmic: nice! only issue is that i often move my laptop and i don't always have the same monitor [18:12] Yeah. [18:12] sandman13: If you think your data can be read by people you don't want reading it, encrypt your home directory. Otherwise, you're fine not encrypting anything. [18:12] how to tell ubuntu to accept loopback only on certain port? === coffee-zombie is now known as ClumsyFairyQueen [18:12] I had that issue in fedora, but now I'm on a desktop so no worries about hardware changes [18:13] mathfreak_ thanks [18:13] sandman13: I have an unencrypted home directory, but I set up an encrypted subdirectory if I need to encrypt anything. [18:14] Togusa re:md5 thanks again that worked & also noted for phuture reference. be well! [18:15] bunduru: ahhh, loopback gets used by a lot in *nix land. you're headed for tears trying to block localhost connections... (i have NO idea why you'd want to) [18:16] Hey hey hey [18:16] hello [18:17] zykotick9, i wanted to only accept loopback connection to the web interface of ktorrent.. which is plain http [18:17] bunduru: IF you do that, there are going to be serious problems... [18:17] since i can ssh into the machine i could just create a tunnel for that [18:18] how come :s [18:19] bunduru: can you define "loopback"? because it looks like you're asking for something else [18:19] bunduru: try it, then report back on what gets broken (i'd expect a LONG list...) good luck. [18:19] I just changed from Linux Mint to Ubuntu 12.04.My technician did this for me, but I was told 13.04 was available and better. Is this true? Thanks [18:20] bunduru: if you use Network-Manager, i'd expect DNS won't work anymore... for one thing. [18:20] david38400: 13.04 is available, better depends on your needs [18:20] Togusa, i mean localhost 127.0.0.1 [18:21] bunduru: only reason to block it is because you're not trusting what you're running on your own machine [18:21] ^ if that's the case, you have bigger problems. [18:21] is that machine used by other users as well? [18:21] no just me [18:21] then you don't really need to block connections on 127.0.0.1 [18:22] you just need to disable access from the outside [18:22] wow i didnt say that [18:22] well, that's what you asked [18:22] i said the oposite [18:22] maybe your question wasn't well written and/or we didn't understand it [18:22] auronandace, My needs are just for home, video, music and internet. [18:22] ok sorry i'll try to explain [18:23] david38400: then what is wrong with 12.04? [18:23] ok then you want ktorrent to accept connections only on 127.0.0.1 [18:23] and still use it remotely [18:23] david38400: 13.10 and 13.04 have quite short lifecycles. [18:23] david38400: if you stick with 12.04, you can upgrade to Trusty (14.04) in one jump in April next year [18:23] david38400: newer != better [18:24] david38400: as it is LTS to LTS upgrade [18:24] so ktorrent web interface runs on port 80 for example (plain http) and i just want to make this available on that host (localhost), so the only way to access it would be in the machine which is running ktorrent and not from the network [18:25] bunduru: ok then, see if you can open the settings for the web interface, and see if you can set the address the program binds to [18:25] bunduru: it only really matters if there are others on your network [18:25] bunduru: that makes a LOT more sense! see if ktorrent has an option to ONLY work with localhost. don't actually touch LO settings! [18:25] hi how can i stop pulseaudio manually ? [18:26] killing it respawn uatmatically a new process [18:26] bunduru: then in your browser go o http://localhost:80 and it will show, right? [18:26] troulouliou_dev: if you use gnome/unity - expect issue if you disable Pulse. [18:26] mudkip9001mizugorou [18:26] mudkip9001mizugorouu9gyyu7oo9upu9 [18:27] no option to set the ip only the port [18:27] ActionParsnip, mathfreak_ Thanks for your help. Will wait to upgrade to 14.04 in April then....... [18:27] ActionParsnip, yes but i can still access the web interface from any pc on the network [18:27] ActionParsnip: I take back what I said about radeon. [18:27] bunduru: you will then have to use a firewall to block the port [18:28] bunduru: so you only want to be able to access it from the server, and no other system? [18:28] auronandace, Sorry I didn't mean to say anything was wrong at all. It's just a friend didn't understand why I had 12.04 if 13 was out, but with the news from the others best to upgrade to 14 next April. [18:28] zykotick9, i need to disable it for xbmc [18:28] Ari-Yang, doesn't look like that factoid exists. [18:28] troulouliou_dev: you need autospawn=no in ~/.config/pulse/client.conf, see: man pulse-client.conf [18:28] ActionParsnip: it configures much easier, and keeps settings... but its quality is not good, compared to the closed source drivers. Ugh. Both ways suck. [18:28] correct ActionParsnip =) [18:28] bunduru: ok, I'll have a look at ktorrent to see if its configurable there [18:29] I have a hp 840 g1 notebook with a Wireless-AC 7260 module which I can't get running under ubuntu 12.04 [18:29] david38400: not sure why you mentioned 13.04 specifically since 13.10 is the latest release [18:29] trism, ha ok thanks === matanya_ is now known as matanya [18:29] hmmm not from the gui at least as far as i can tell [18:30] Togusa, i guess that could work block the port [18:30] trism pulseaudio is still started with "service pulseaudio" ? ot it is an xdg /autostart ? [18:30] bunduru: http://www.kde-forum.org/artikel/19138/ktorrent-web-interface.html [18:31] troulouliou_dev: xdg autostart [18:33] Togusa, we are talking about creating iptable rules y? [18:33] if there is no other way, yes [18:34] bunduru: have you checked out ActionParsnip's link? [18:34] can you setup a whitelist from the web interface?

[20:36] shadytv: I cannot see any networks. [20:36] hitsujiTMO: I already checked alsamuxer, nothing is muted [20:37] hitsujiTMO: also I worked before and I didn't change anything, hmm, why would it be muted?

[20:38] hitsujiTMO: there are 3 audio devices, my main sound card, an usb micro (no output) and my graphic cards which somehow can pass it on to my monitor which has some builtin boxes (very very bad quality and only working when I turn my amplifier off) [20:38] does ubuntu or debian encourage maintainers of packages to run services automatically upon installation? I really don't like that behavior. [20:39] shadytv: it is.. [20:39] Anita01, otherwise you'll have to istall drivers [20:39] hitsujiTMO: my problem is that I don't hear anything if I set the playback/output to my main sound card [20:39] g0th: does alsamixer refer to the correct device? [20:39] nicksloan: it's certainly the default in debian (ubuntu too i'd guess) [20:39] shadytv: help me how please. [20:39] I use pulse and pavcontrol [20:39] hitsujiTMO: how do I check that? [20:39] Anita01, from your manufacturers website [20:39] the chip which is shown is the correct one I think [20:40] g0th: run alsamiser. what itens show up in the top left corner [20:40] shadytv: my drivers are not listed for ubuntu. [20:40] items? [20:40] i see some instructions for using apt-get to install hbase on ubuntu but i don't see an hbase package on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ - anyone know what's up with that?

[20:41] Hey guys has anyone used NDISWrapper on Ubuntu and does anyone know which Windows wireless drivers you should use with it? And for that matter, might as well ask this too: I'm trying to use NDISWrapper because Ubuntu does not connect to the WiFi at my university. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it some other way? [20:41] Anita01: pastebin "lspci" and "lsusb" [20:41] hitsujiTMO: HDA Intel PCM, Chip: Realtek ALC898 [20:41] g0th: is the speakers turned on and properly connected? [20:41] adanoob: fron console (ctrl+alt+f1) log in as your user, then "ls -al" in your home directory, any files owned by root? [20:42] yes [20:43] No help with cheese anyone?

[20:45] WobbleHeadDoll: Sure, works fine as USB mass storage device. [20:46] Does that allow me to sync music to it via Rythmbox? [20:46] Ben64: i've tried that post ending with errors 2 etc. [20:46] itsujiTMO: any ideas? [20:46] david38400: you might be able to log into console (ctrl+alt+f1) then run "killall cheese" [20:47] david38400: fyi, alt+f7 (or alt+f8) to get back to GUI [20:47] g0th: i'm quite curious as to why a realtek id is coming up for an intel sound device. can you pastebin the output of: lshw -C communication [20:48] Ben64: any else ideas? [20:48] Ben64: any other ideas? excuse me. === here____ is now known as he_re [20:50] zykotick9: erm... nevermind, seems to be solved... main monitor was disabled in Nvidia settings... long story of how I figured that out and sort of fixed... [20:50] zykotick9: thanks anyway [20:51] Anita01, can you do lspci -vvnn and paste it in a pastebin [20:51] adanoob: glad you fixed it! [20:51] shadytv: yes, my pleasure. [20:52] g0th: here's a thought. did you use headphones at all on the device before the issue occured?> [20:52] yes [20:52] I tried both with and without headphones [20:52] http://pastebin.com/gPnhNapP [20:53] the realtek thingy is from intel hda sound stuff [20:53] shadytv: http://pastebin.com/NEGXzFq6 [20:55] g0th: i have noticed that with intel hda audio and jack detection that if headphones were connected to the front panel/laptop headphone jeck, and the machine is shutdown while its still connected. If the headphones are unplugged before the device is booted up again, the audio is still passed to the headphone jack [20:55] Hi, i have problems with my flash drive. it give me [523115.788741] sdb: unknown partition table (i can post all about usb flash from dmesg). On win7 it work.... [20:55] I try with update-usbids, but no luck [20:56] stomanata, What partition and table type? [20:57] hitsujiTMO: so I remove the jack, reboot and try again? [20:57] how to check about this wilee-nilee ? [20:57] Do you have ntfs-3g installed? [20:57] stomanata, I would think you know the partition type, is this not the case, and why? [20:57] g0th.is it a laptop or desktop? [20:58] Anita01, hmm realtek :/ [20:58] desktop [20:58] shadytv: yeap! what shall I do ? [20:58] Anita01, honestly im having problems with realtek drivers myself :( [20:58] stomanata: stomanata: can you dd if=/dev/sda of=~/moo bs=512 count=1 [20:58] Yes. i have ntfs-3g [20:58] hitsujiTMO: I always get this sound problems, is there any useable usb sound card for linux? [20:59] that supports 5.1 [20:59] preferably with a digital/optical connection [20:59] shadytv: damn.. I found a forum like Ben64 told me but it doesn't work even on make or sudo make install. [20:59] shadytv: ending with errors of kernel 3.8.0-33 [20:59] hitsujiTMO: the problem is I can't replace my sound card / no space [20:59] stomanata: stomanata: can you dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/moo bs=512 count=1 sorry. and can you post that file ~/moo in dropbox or somewhere [20:59] Anita01, we might have to go the more dangerous route and do it through Ndiswrapper [20:59] I will try it on windows first [21:00] 1+0 records in +0 records out +0 records out [21:00] if it works there it is definitely a linux issue otherwise I guess my soundcard is broken :( [21:00] hitsujiTMO: anything else I should check? [21:00] before I reboot [21:00] shadytv: why it's dangerous? [21:01] since no answer I assume not [21:01] bbl [21:01] g0th: thats all i can think of tbh. conecting in and out the headphones and rebooting to ensure that headphone jack is not activated [21:01] Anita01, you might crash the system it's give or take if it'll work. [21:01] Anita01, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [21:01] Hello. I am getting "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address" when i run dhclient on a wired connection. Been googling for the better part of the day without finding any stories relating quite to mine. Ubuntu 10.04 with a Realtek RTL-8169 card (according to lspci). It's a machine setup from a clone image, so there might be some configuration I don't know about messing things up.. [21:01] http://pastebin.com/LW1m5mKR [21:02] moment. it is for sda :) [21:02] stomanata: 2 things. its a binary file so pastebin aint gonna work. and did you see the second one? [21:02] shadytv: crash the system means? [21:02] Did this affect my hard drive?!?! [21:03] Yes. i perform second command :) [21:03] Anita01, i can cause issues in the kernel and you wont be able to boot the system [21:04] stomanata: no it wont effect the hdd. === srr is now known as Raymon [21:04] http://tranzit.dir.bg/load.php?id=DNUB3bnO3oTby3dE1756199 [21:04] ok. Thanks. [21:04] shadytv: yes but I can reformat it again through bootable usb right? [21:04] Xeethrax: are you aware 10.04 is EOL (on desktop)? "/msg ubottu eol" for details on that... [21:05] Anita01, yes you can... [21:05] Anita01, something a little curious though can you run sudo in front of lspci command some information is missing [21:05] shadytv: thanks for your time :))) [21:06] shadytv: sudo lspci ? [21:06] yes you need to run it as root [21:07] zykotick9: This is a cloned image running the same software on a bunch of machines. Supposedly tested with this hardware.. I'm not going to claim they were completely truthful about that though. Just trying to set up a network of these machines at my home but the nic is giving me a hard time. [21:07] Xeethrax: using 10.04 is sillyness... [21:07] shadytv: http://pastebin.com/7mP2ShEY [21:08] re [21:08] stomanata: is there 2 partitions on the drive? [21:08] Anita01, run this sorry sudo lspci -vvnn | grep Network [21:08] my soundcard seems to be broken :( [21:09] what usb soundcard should I use with linux? [21:09] ideally one with digital connection/5.1 [21:09] no. on win7 i perform quick format [21:09] zykotick9: I'll agree to that when there are hardware upgrades involved [21:10] shadytv: 07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8179] (rev 01) [21:11] shadytv: there's anything else you can help me? :/ [21:13] zykotick9: but you should realise that in this case, upgrading takes time and money and is not done lightly. We're talking about creating a new stable environment for the app to run, and recloning that on thousands of computers spread across a big geographical area. So the benefits of upgrading must be significant, or a neccessity [21:13] hitsujiTMO: still here? [21:14] Xeethrax: see, i view security as "a neccessity", i guess you don't... [21:14] hitsujiTMO: any suggestions what soundcard I should buy that works? [21:14] zykotick9: +1 [21:14] hi [21:14] Anita01, sadly im not to sure why your drivers aren't working you could try using an LTS release, they're older but much more stable, you could also try askubuntu or the ubuntu forums those guys helped me out a lot when i was just starting out. [21:14] hi ubu_ [21:14] hab ne frage [21:14] zykotick9: you seem to like making statements when you don't really know anything about the situation [21:15] !de | ubu_ [21:15] ubu_: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [21:15] its german? [21:15] thx [21:15] Xeethrax: best of luck (not include my nick further please) [21:15] zykotick9: the machines are not exposed to the internet, and "hacking" them wouldn't do much good as they are mostly just displaying information from a server [21:15] s/not/don't/ [21:15] shadytv: am on lts ubuntu. [21:16] zykotick9: wait, what, are you pretending that you were actually going to help with anything at some point? [21:16] shadytv: maybe I should try 32 bit instead of 64 bit ?? [21:16] please, why do i get sound from all applications in both gnome shell and unity except for system sounds in unity? running 13.04 [21:16] Anita01, no LTS is version 10.04 or 12.04 right now. [21:17] Anita01, LTS stands for "Long Term Support" you are more than likely on 13.10 [21:19] anyone [21:19] what good usb soundcard works with linux? [21:19] the price is not a big issue [21:20] !hcl [21:20] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:20] g0th: SoundBlaster or something that emulates one. [21:20] stomanata: the partititon is marked as type: FE. So in windows terms its a Disk Administration hidden partition. and linux terms its an old LANstep/Linux LVM. Either looks to be a mistake [21:20] it should be a usb card === Rink is now known as Carbon_rink [21:20] I don't think I hvae space for an internal card [21:20] g0th: I think you should do some more research on what you already have though. [21:20] jhutchins_wk: well it no longer works on windows [21:20] so my guess is the card is broken [21:20] if it is not [21:21] you/I don't know how to fix it [21:21] so I might as well buy a new one [21:21] I've asked a few days ago in here for a way to individually control workspace switching on multiple monitors (one being a laptop, the other being an external monitor). Any suggestions? [21:21] ]g0th: i'm not up on sound cards i'm afraid. I just stick to the motherboard built in cards usually. [21:21] what built in cards work? [21:21] (well) [21:21] again the price is not really the issue [21:22] I would pay 200$ if I knew for sure I got a really good solution that works without any issues [21:22] (or even more) [21:22] g0th all my devices are intel hda, and are problematic with pulse audio. that's all i can tell you [21:22] !enter | g0th [21:22] g0th: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! === McPeter is now known as Guest61457 [21:23] hitsujiTMO: yeah I know they have issues :( [21:24] what do you guys in here use as soundcards? [21:24] or sound doesn't work for you? ^^ [21:24] I recently moved and resized an ext4 partition using the latest gparted live CD.. browsing around the drive noticed that all the folders are intact, but more than half the files are gone and are instead in the lost+found directory... anything I can do? [21:24] also, if e2fsck returns no errors, can I trust that the issue was with resizing/moving and not the drive itself? === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [21:25] Does Compiz have a separate channel for support? [21:25] g0th: Again, CreativeLabs SoundBlasters are pretty much universally supported. [21:26] notedible: When messing with partitions, allways back up the contents. === Guest61457 is now known as McPeter [21:28] Hello guys, having some issues with getting ubuntu 12.04 64bit running: After getting the installer to run by adding the nomodeset option and a successfull installation. Im having the same problem with just getting a black screen after the splash screen. The nomodeset option is not helping at this point. Any suggestions? === naomi_ is now known as naomiaro [21:29] jhutchins_wk: i have backups but that's not the issue [21:30] it's just a pain because they are all over the place.. this was a central backup repository.. anyway, can I trust the drive? [21:30] jhutchins_wk: https://www.digitec.ch/ProdukteDetailsDruck1.aspx?Artikel=284977 [21:30] what about this? [21:32] * lasantha test [21:33] notedible: Do you have smartmontools installed? === S-USA is now known as SonikkuAmerica === fourq_ is now known as fourq [21:34] g0th: I think that wants me to be logged in - and I definitely don't speak Czek. === SonikkuAmerica is now known as Unit194 [21:34] Can you name good articles to setup ubuntu as home network router? === Unit194 is now known as SonikkuAmerica [21:35] g0th: I've had good luck with Asus and Megabit motherboard chipsets. [21:35] I suppose my problem is video card related or something. Should I try and get the ubuntu to boot in a terminal and somehow install nvidia proprietary drivers from there? [21:35] artem1: Yes, [21:35] artem1: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ [21:36] jhattara: Creative Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1, USB 2.0 [21:36] artem1: It was originally written for RedHat, but everything pretty much applies (and I think it's been updated to include Debian/Ubuntu). [21:36] jhutchins_wk: thx =) [21:36] g0th: You can search for articles about that card and Linux. [21:37] I plugged in my android tablet into my usb port.. dmesg seems to show it up [21:37] but how do I actually transfer files to it? [21:37] jhutchins_wk: main reason is to set up QoS to separate skype calls and other types of traffic [21:37] lesshaste: It _should_ automount as a storage device. Mine do. [21:38] artem1: I'm not sure that goes into QoS. [21:38] lesshaste: which ubuntu is that exactly? [21:39] jhutchins_wk: trying to [21:39] k1l_, 13.04.. it's possible it would just show up in a graphical file system browser [21:39] jhutchins_wk, it might have done.. how do I tell? [21:39] jhutchins_wk, dmesg looks sort of promising [21:39] hi guys. just went from Zorin OS 7 to Ubuntu 13.10 [21:40] lesshaste: make sure the android tablet got activated the option to make itself mountable [21:40] jhutchins_wk, and on the tablet it says "Internal storatge connected" [21:40] allstarsnorks2: neat [21:40] k1l_, how do you do that? [21:40] allstarsnorks2, hi [21:40] how do i install gksu in Ubuntu 13.10? seems that relinux wants me to install it. [21:40] jhutchins_wk: I didn't find _anything_ useful on usb soundcard for linux [21:41] jhutchins_wk: my guess is it probably works but only with something like a 50% chance [21:41] a soundcard is a soundcard to GNU/Linux [21:41] lesshaste: dmesg will show the events, which may or may not include mounting. If not, you need to set your system to automatically mount connected volumes, but you should see it in the file manager. It does depened on which desktop/file manager you use. [21:41] allstarsnorks2: install gksu... [21:41] reisio: what? [21:41] g0th: hi [21:41] reisio: yep. Zorin OS 7 gave me too many problems. especially sound. [21:41] lesshaste: make sure gvfs is installed on ubuntu [21:41] allstarsnorks2: weird [21:42] jhutchins_wk, http://pastebin.com/3L9eypAy /.. it's sort of promising [21:42] zykotick9: but how? sudo apt-get (?) [21:42] allstarsnorks2, http://askubuntu.com/questions/290810/how-to-add-gksudo-or-what-to-use-instead-in-ubuntu-13-04 [21:42] g0th: Seriously? http://bit.ly/IdbwTr [21:42] k1l_, gvfs is already the newest version. [21:43] allstarsnorks2: the package is call gksu, use whatever you use to installs software. but yes, "sudo apt-get install gksu" should work. [21:43] lesshaste: then it should get mounted ootb. which android is running on that tablet? [21:43] kostkon: thank you. that will be added in my browser's bookmarks. [21:43] k [21:43] k1l_, jelly bean [21:43] oh, jellybean is no mtp. [21:43] k1l_, http://pastebin.com/3L9eypAy .. does that say it is mounted? [21:43] allstarsnorks2, np [21:43] zykotick9: the thing is it says GKSU not found or something like that [21:43] k1l_, isn't that the latest version ? [21:44] !info gksu [21:44] gksu (source: gksu): graphical frontend to su. In component universe, is optional.

[21:45] lesshaste: make sure its mtp enabled. then ubuntu (talking about clean ubuntu 13.04 or newer with nautilus as file explorer) should mount that ootb === jje is now known as Guest41137 [21:45] jhutchins_wk: the first link is about some professional stuff which I don't need and which is probably hard to get working [21:45] jhutchins_wk: second link -> http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/hardware_matrix [21:46] I don't get the cryptic comments about usb 2 cards [21:46] allstarsnorks2: what does she know, out having kids accidentally, newb! [21:46] how does this tell me what usb2 solutions work? [21:46] it doesn't [21:46] third link: page not found [21:46] reisio: mind you, it's 5:45am [21:46] fourth link: not available [21:46] g0th: you looking to buy something?

It always says .... Guvcview error: [21:48] Unable to start with minimum setup [21:48] Any help please [21:49] How would a GeForce 8400 GS PCI-E video card work with Ubuntu 13.10? [21:49] lesshaste: IMHO should that be mounted [21:49] k1l_, ok.. where? :) [21:50] jhutchins_wk: yes, i do have it installed [21:50] lesshaste: doesnt it show up in nautilus on the sidebar in the "devices" group? [21:50] k1l_, let me try to run nautilus [21:50] i asked a few days ago a fix to the sound issue for 13.10, now i found miself a good fix for it so if anyone wants to know i'll gladly tell you, besides thansk for the help you gaved me a few days ago [21:50] k1l_, what's the right way to do this from unity? [21:51] lesshaste: again: what ubuntu are you running exactly? [21:51] k1l_, oh.. there it is :) [21:51] lesshaste: i got a fresh 13.10 here with unity and when connecting some androids nautilus pops up with the mountpoint [21:52] k1l_, it all works perfectly :) [21:52] ok [21:52] k1l_, I just wasn't using nautiful [21:52] k1l_, so where is it from the command line? [21:52] I was expecting mount to tell me [21:52] that was what i was asking before :) [21:53] no, it gets mounted with gvfs with mtp. gvfs beeing gnome filesystem mounting stuff. that works with nautilus [21:53] oh so there is no way to access the mount point from the command line? === Burritoh is now known as Jerry_Burritoh === Jerry_Burritoh is now known as Burritoh [21:54] rbrooks: they have less clues than me it seems [21:54] thanks in any case [21:54] reisio* [21:54] k1l_: that's gnome Virtual file system ;) [21:55] lesshaste: /run/user/myusername/gvfs/ [21:55] zykotick9: thanks :) [21:56] How would a GeForce 8400 GS PCI-E video card work with Ubuntu 13.10? [21:56] I'm having newly installed webcam problems can anyone help please? [21:57] g0th: lies! [21:57] david38400, State the hardware IE cam and what you have done...details basically to the channel. [21:57] notedible: Ok, watch the syslog and dmesg for messages from smart. If you start to see them frequently it's time to buy new hardware. [21:58] jhutchins_wk: k, thanks [21:58] Hi. I'm trying to hook up my laptop via HDMI to my flatscreen to be able to display Netflix on the TV. When I hook up the HDMI cable, it says No Input still, as if nothing was plugged up at all. It works in Windows, so I'm assuming I don't have something set correctly. Is there anyone available that could please assist? [21:59] wilee-nilee, OK, sorry. I have a webcam Logitech C170. Tried cheese and I put it in full screen mode and couldn't use it or the computer. Tried Guvcview but it says won't work with minimum controls?????? [21:59] reisio: how can an "impression" be a lie? [21:59] david38400, Working otherwise without fullscreen? [21:59] wilee-nilee: fyi, i believe prior to making it fullscreen, that david38400's webcam was working [22:00] zykotick9, Heh, seems that way thanks. ;) [22:01] g0th: if it's not honest :) but no matter [22:02] wilee-nilee, The first time I tried it yes. Then I clicked on full screen and can't minimise it or use it [22:02] david38400, Have you rinsed and repeated? [22:02] zykotick9, yes you are right. Once I put it to fullscreen that was the problem [22:02] ;) [22:03] wilee-nilee, Sorry I'm fairly new and don't understand what you mean? [22:04] david38400, Have you tried again just to see if it works in general, the full screen may be the only problem, is this a full screen from clicking the windows buttons or the f11 or f12 I forget fullscreen? [22:04] g0th: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main [22:05] hi [22:05] How do I get Ubuntu to stop cycling the hard disk 10x per minute? [22:05] g0th: On the first page, for me at least, is a discussion that leads to this: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main [22:05] wilee-nilee, Yes I have tried and it goes straight to full screen. As I can't get rid of it I have to shut down the computer. I clicked on the window button not f11 or f12 [22:05] g0th: All of the cards listed there should be plug-and-play on any Linux that uses Alsa. [22:05] manor: laptop? [22:05] saam: hi [22:06] g0th: That's not a complete list, that's just ones that the Alsa project knows for sure work. [22:06] wilee-nilee, I tried guvcview but it says won't work with minimum controls so I don't even know what it means. [22:06] reisio, yes. It goes nuts, but only on battery power. [22:06] does anyone know hidden web? [22:07] david38400, In general my approach is going through the possibilities, the variables, what screen is going full screen automatically, and have you tried opening it without the camera plugged in and resized it? [22:07] g0th: There are two specific cards in this discussion: http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=10719 [22:08] saam: we're pals [22:08] I'm having a problem creating a substatution script where it will take in input and write it out to a file using a set of substatution rules. I set letters as other letters, ie- A=Z, etc but when I echo it out it wont substatute [22:08] what does it mean? [22:09] wilee-nilee, Thanks for your help and patience. When I turn on cheese the whole screen is used up on my computer automatically. I haven't tried with the camera disconnected. I could do so..... I might disappear from the chat...... [22:09] i don't speak very dell [22:09] !it | saam [22:09] saam: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [22:09] david38400, Would not that seem to be the logical approach? [22:10] wilee-nilee, I agree. I unplugged the cam and tried what you said, but it still came on in full screen and I can't do anything [22:10] Seems to me like cheeze was always a small window. Maybe it depends on screen-vs-camera resolution. [22:10] david38400, The buttons do not respond? [22:11] wilee-nilee, Nothing responds [22:11] Maybe I should uninstall [22:11] wilee-nilee, How can I uninstall? === Jikan is now known as Jikai === Jikai is now known as Jikan [22:13] david38400, I don't see it in ~/.config which if removed will rebuild itself, You can sudo apt-get purge cheese && sudo apt-get install cheese if we can't find the config. [22:14] wilee-nilee, will try now. [22:15] Anyone got an idea? === Jikan is now known as Jikai [22:15] wilee-nilee, I did what you said I suppose I should try it again..... [22:16] Without the cam plugged in it couldn't find the device [22:17] jhutchins_wk: the alsa list is about internal soundcards mostly, I didn't find the mentioned soundblaster omni there [22:17] wilee-nilee, No luck I plugged in the cam and it insists on no device found === Duel is now known as travis [22:17] david38400, cheese here the gui goes back and forth with the windows buttons with no problem here, using a logitec c-270 nothing extra installed, I have to wonder if your hardware in genarl or the extra installed stuff is a problem. [22:17] Hey guys any of you know any good data scraping from websites software? [22:18] Juslintek: wget, curl [22:18] wilee-nilee, Its a Logitech C170 webcam === travis is now known as Guest90915 [22:18] reisio, you still there? [22:18] manor: hi === Guest90915 is now known as Duel-Travis [22:18] david38400, Yes I know, but you get my point right? [22:19] wilee-nilee, Sorry I'm not used to Ubuntu 12.04 so I don't understand what you say. [22:19] How can I uninstall and start again. Is that easy [22:20] david38400, In a terminal run sudo apt-get purge cheese && sudo apt-get install cheese [22:20] Did you have any ideas on correcting hard disk power management? I have spindown disabled in settings, so I'm missing something or there's a bug. [22:21] manor: internal hard disks? [22:21] wilee-nilee, I did that earlier and I still have the same problem. If I just want to delete do I run ... [22:21] sudo apt-get get purge cheese? Will that delete it [22:21] david38400, I would not here that some of what I said is not ubuntu only in asking if the hardware is up to the task or extra stuff installed to try and get it working, that applies in general to using any OS. [22:21] I want to properly remove everything [22:22] Can someone direct me to resources all security related? [22:22] Yeah, 2.5" Sammy 320GB SATA 1.5Gbps [22:22] wilee-nilee, sorry can't answer that. I will have to get my technician in then if there is no solution. I am surprised nobody here can help me. [22:22] david38400, purge removes the app and the config install reinstall sit. [22:23] hi, how do i make ubuntu dial in to a bbs ? [22:23] david38400: What's the prob? [22:23] wilee-nilee, So I just run.... sudo apt-get purge cheese? [22:23] abaddon [22:23] abaddon, Hi there. I installed cheese for my webcam, put it on full screen and cant minimise. [22:24] david38400, Copy and paste the whole command and then run it and when done check cheese again. [22:24] david38400: Have you tried F11? [22:24] wilee-nilee, I did that earlier and I still have the same problem..... I can try again if you think it will help. [22:24] abaddon, Please don't just interrupt. [22:24] david38400: I mean the key [22:24] abaddon, when do I F11? [22:24] david38400, With purge? [22:24] once I have the webcam in full screen? [22:24] david38400: when cheese is started fullscreen. [22:25] ok guys will try, thanks [22:25] david38400, Close cheese, run the whole command the open cheese. [22:25] wilee-nilee: david38400 Yes, if it's in full screen have you tried pressing F11 to exit full screen? Also, wilee-nilee sorry. [22:26] abaddon, You have not followed the whole conversation, the user is a bit confused, and you are not helping this is all. ;) [22:26] david38400: Which release are you on, what desktop? [22:26] wilee-nilee, I cant use it now, it can't find the device. I will try and run the command you mentionned to uninstall and install again [22:26] jhutchins_wk, Ubuntu12.04 [22:27] wilee-nilee: I thought the convo ended so I was trying to hlp ou. XD Sorry for the confusion david38400. [22:27] david38400, I give up this is a circular help with people now just interuppting a waste of my time, good luck. [22:27] wilee-nilee: Will purge remove the user-specific config files in the home directory? [22:27] jhutchins_wk: No. [22:28] I didn't think so. [22:28] Well david38400 since wilee-nilee has dumped you care to explain to me what's going on? [22:28] wilee-nilee, OK thanks in any case....... I have followed your info on the sudo apt and trying again. [22:29] abaddon, Wilee hasn't dumped me, he's tried to be very helpful, but I am getting inpatient and nervous with such a simple issue [22:29] I just don't understand why its so complicated to connect a simpel web cam [22:29] abaddon, Can you tell me how to just delete cheese in the proper way. [22:30] abaddon, I have stopped as idiots like you are interrupting. [22:30] david38400: sudp apt-get purge cheese [22:30] bekks, will see if it works. Thanks [22:30] david38400: depends on the specific hardware involved, it should be plug-in = working. [22:30] david38400: sudo apt-get purge cheese [22:31] wilee-nilee: I understand you are getting frustrated but calling other people idiots doesn't help [22:31] Thanks guys I have now removed Cheese. Can anyone suggest an app to run a webcam on Ubuntu 12.04 or isn't there one? [22:31] david38400: Try this: gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.Cheese:/apps/cheese [22:31] reisio: are you there? [22:32] david38400: Is cheese the only web cam software you'll use or are you up for others? [22:32] Danato: yarp [22:32] david38400: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [22:32] david38400: I suggest guvcview [22:32] Guys I am open to use any app that will work...... [22:33] reisio: when installing windows xp on virtualbox, should i choose the option that the pc will connect through a network or directly to the internet? [22:33] abaddon, I tried guvcviewbut it wouldnt work either. It said it wouldn't connnect on minimum settings and I couldn't find out how to resolve that problem. [22:33] david38400: That command I posted should reset cheeze to it's defaults - which should not be full-screen. [22:33] jhutchins_wk, Thanks for your help will try. [22:34] david38400: yikes.... [22:34] david38400: Here is the manual for Cheeze: https://help.gnome.org/users/cheese/2.91/cheese.html [22:34] Danato: doubt it matters, but through a network is fine [22:35] jhutchins_wk, Thanks for your help..... will give up for tonight. [22:35] abaddon, Thanks for your help too [22:36] how do I re-assign the media play/pause keys in system settings/keyboard/shortcuts back to default if it won't let me assign the play/pause key to to functions? (play AND pause)... what is the solution? [22:36] wilee-nilee, Thanks to you too. I will have another look tomorrow [22:36] Good night all [22:36] *to two [22:36] david38400: Good luk [22:36] Thanks [22:36] david38400: Good luck* [22:36] can some one tell me how to make ubuntu dial a bbs ? :) [22:37] reisio: yeah it worked this time, i reinstalled windows to check what did i do wrong at the beginning, but it was jst a VB configuration thing. thanks anyways [22:37] coo [22:37] gj [22:39] is there any way to restore the play/pause media key to play AND pause in keyboard shortcuts?

It was not among the five pages i bookmarked to be honest. THat page is a perfect example of what i mean, its really quite confusing [22:50] sybariten: XD Yeah...but it is litterally the best tool to create multiple boot usb systems [22:50] are questions about xubuntu at the right place in this chat? [22:50] zup... gedit adds \n at the end of files. Is it a bug or feature? [22:50] bbcom: they're fine [22:50] thx [22:51] fishduck: That's "new line". [22:51] sybariten: commands are not confusing, and you can just download the install script like the instructions abaddon gave you [22:51] fishduck: That's only seen in gedit, right? [22:51] abaddon: yeah ive read about that one.... is it a script or a GUI, btw ? [22:51] THey call it a script but it seems like it has a gui... [22:51] fishduck: that is not gedit adding it. its geddit showing it. windows editors add that [22:51] you can make a GUI from a "scripting language" [22:51] jhutchins_wk: I read that it's a "feature" of vim too, but no idea. But it's hellish annoying. [22:51] reisio: yes. [22:52] yes [22:52] I love this chat. so much. Please keep talking, I'm learning so much. [22:52] sybariten: The actual page for MultiSystem is in french. Soooo...yeah, I sent you the easy page,lol. It's a totally GUI based prob [22:52] ciao a tutti [22:52] where can I find crash reports in xubuntu 12.04? [22:52] sybariten: The actual page for MultiSystem is in french. Soooo...yeah, I sent you the easy page,lol. It's a totally GUI based prog* [22:53] sybariten: So litterally it's the easyest one to use. [22:53] abaddon: yeah, ive been there too, as i mentioned to xangua . I happen to speak french, but how often do people release software on non-english pages really? I dont think it helps the popularity unfortunately [22:54] sybariten: Totally true..but the French aren't generally friendly...imho.... [22:54] but really, take a look at this page for the program/system which is supposed to maybe be the best for multiboot USBs. https://sites.google.com/a/rmprepusb.com/www/ is that a shitload of information or what? How do you know what to (not) read, or even where to start [22:54] so they wouldn't care for the effort? [22:54] I have a question about accounts-daemon crashed in xubuntu 12.04. Anyone? [22:54] sybariten: So yeah, look at the link, get the deb file mand run it. Should install fine and be usable imediatly. [22:55] hehe i wont say anything bad about the french as it would be un-tactical :-D [22:55] sybariten: commands are not in french... [22:55] xangua: I don't think sybariten thinks they ar in french? [22:56] oh, a sidenote, abaddon and xangua : (and soething that i generally find is not very clearly explained on _any_ of these methods homeages) : does multiboot allow you to really boot the actual ISO file as it is, and thus adapts itself to the ISO files it will find on a memory? [22:57] or will the ISO files still be needed to be installed somehow [22:57] sybariten: Ummm, not sure what you mean? Are you talking about a sort of persisten mode?? [22:58] no, forget about persistence [22:58] sybariten: As for booting the iso, yeah, more or less it boots the actual iso. [22:58] imagine haveing five ISOs on a usb memory. Im talking about the actuall 700 mb ISO files. Can your system detect these files and present you with a menu where you can choose which one to boot? [22:58] sybariten: it will copy the iso to the usb and also install grub and make the apropiate configuration for it; you can set it to persisten also if you want to [22:59] I am currently running a dualboot setup, primarily using Ubuntu but keeping Windows around for iTunes and a few programs I need (such as MS Project) that are Windows-only. Is there a way I can take the existing partition on my harddrive and turn it into a VM in Virtualbox? [22:59] sybariten: Yes [22:59] and then you maybe DL a new (sixth) one, a slackware live ISO or something, and then if you put that on the USB memory you can also choose that one [23:00] sybariten: yup [23:00] xangua: coz generally speaking when they "copy the iso", they inflate it [23:00] sybariten: Tha's why it's sooo good as a prog. It's stupid easy to add or del an iso as needed. [23:01] abaddon: ok youve sold it to me [23:01] sybariten: I use Hirens boot cd, An OS I made, and Trinity rescue on my usb [23:01] ok [23:01] sybariten: YAAYYY!! Welcome to the best thing since sliced bread,lol [23:03] If on bugs.launchpad it says 'Fix Released' where can I find that fix? [23:03] hehehe [23:04] I have a question about accounts-daemon crashed in xubuntu 12.04. Anyone? [23:04] just ask. [23:05] xubuntu shows a crash report every time I boot: accounts-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in dbus_connection_send() [23:05] found it at bugs.launchpad [23:06] it says 'Fix Released' [23:06] hi how can i disable X/gdm from starting upon boot and manually launch it ? [23:06] but where can I find the fix? [23:06] !text | sasha_ [23:06] sasha_: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [23:06] hi did someone need me im here [23:07] sasha_: fyi, it's X/lightdm if you're using a supported ubuntu version (and haven't changed teh default DM) [23:07] zykotick9, and then to start gdm ? i just launch /etc/init.d/gdm or service gdm start (change lightdm to gdm) [23:08] yuo highlight me ubottu? :) [23:08] sybariten: Doing ok? [23:08] sasha_: i'd guess, or better "sudo service lightdm start" [23:08] zykotick9, but text or no text in the kernel line; how is X started in ubuntu ? .Xsession ?? [23:09] hello guys? can i ask about the live cd here or is there another channel for that? [23:09] sasha_: ahhh, Xorg (lightdm) would probably be started by upstart.

[23:11] zykotick9, ha htanks [23:11] blognewb, sdcard in a usb2 sdcard reader maybe [23:12] ** i meant can i access files inside a usb stick while im in the livecd loaded to a laptop with a win7 os [23:12] if you are booted yes you should see/mount usb drives [23:12] ^ [23:13] Hi to everyone...please someone that can help me whit this error...when I start my pc , appear the follow errror EXT4-fs (sda 1): last error at 1384698387: __ext4_get_inode_loc:3629:inode 4720112:block 18874494 [23:14] felipesierra: i'd recommend starting from a livecd/usb and fscking your sda1 partition... [23:14] felipesierra: sounds like your disk has some troubles, what happened before this started to come up? [23:14] and do what zykotick9 said ^ [23:15] sasha_: you can check /etc/xdg/gnome/xinitrc Or whatever you window manager is I think [23:15] i think you could put the live iso onto a sdcard while loaded in a reader and even boot from it create it with "UUI" [23:15] blognewb, ^ [23:15] sasha_: ie, if you're using xfce4 the it'd likely be /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc [23:16] can an ubuntu livecd also detect an sd card instead of a usb drive while it's on, rbrooks ? [23:16] daftykins: appear a screen whit some options and this error appear when I starr the pc en recovery mode [23:16] i think that would depend... [23:16] sasha_: Ultimatly I think pulse starts through daemon [23:16] blognewb, depends whether the reader device is detected/supported [23:17] felipesierra: so yeah, boot a CD/DVD/USB of ubuntu and fsck your disk [23:17] rbrooks, supported by what [23:17] tias yrmv :) [23:17] Linux/Ubuntu [23:17] abaddon, no it is xdg jus tfigured out thanks [23:17] the reader itself lots are proprietary [23:18] load a live cd and see... oh yeah [23:18] sasha_: Huh.... [23:18] :) [23:18] sasha_: Ok, cool [23:18] dont forget to thank whomever wrote the driver [23:18] abaddon, btw i guess pasuspender is more dedicated to my ultimate goal : [23:19] daftykins: zykotick9 : could be that my disk is damage? [23:19] it could be, yes [23:19] felipesierra: I recommend getting an iso from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/ and make a bootable usb [23:19] felipesierra: boot a liveCD! :) [23:19] sasha_: What's your ultimate goal? [23:19] felipesierra: could mean bad sectors... I got that like 3 weeks ago, had to boot off of a bootable usb and run fsck [23:20] Ari-Yang: daftykins zykotick9 thanks so much [23:21] abaddon, starting xbmc with direct access to device without pulseaudio [23:21] felipesierra: np, use start up disk creator, it should already be installed [23:21] sasha_: Why not have a script kill pulse at the begining? [23:23] abaddon, i still want a full DE that starts xbmc with direct device access [23:23] abaddon, just needed to figured out where and how it is started in the first place :) [23:23] blognewb, just to be clear, a usb card reader should always work [23:23] sasha_: Yould just add to your session manager or .xsession pulseaudio -k [23:25] if it is proprietary/builtin yrmv... [23:25] sasha_: Ahhh...I had a guy earlyer ask about starting modules within xbmc. You may want to look at using /etc/modules to ether stop or start pulse. [23:25] blognewb, i gtg hth [23:26] ciao [23:26] abaddon, my issue is that xbmc with pulse audio do not support dts hd ma / true hd 5.1/7.1 [23:26] abaddon, only dts-core 5.1 [23:26] rbrooks, thank you so much [23:26] no problemo [23:26] anytime cya [23:26] sasha_: It should handel pulse. I just don't know the command for its module. Errr...I'll pretend I got that,lol. Have you looked to just using ALSA? [23:27] sasha_: "pasuspender xbmc" should disable pulse... (i'd forgotten about that option) [23:27] abaddon, yes but pulese don't handle dts-hd ma/ dolby true hd [23:28] sasha_: You mean ALSA right? or both? [23:28] Hello. Is it normal that I have much worse experience with gaming on Ubuntu using Intel HD cards than on Windows? [23:28] omg_scout: loolz...intel.... [23:28] abaddon, upon some xbmc devs; xbmc have ALSA and pulseaudio support but pulseaudio is limited to stereo and 5.1 core [23:29] abaddon, so just nned to wrap xbmc launch/close with pulseaudio start/stop [23:29] intel HD on ubuntu should works really good [23:29] abaddon: what is so funny? I play non demanding games [23:29] why ubuntu /home/myusername is not showing when i logged in as root - recovery mode through shell? [23:29] sasha_: But ALSA can support it? [23:29] nismoSVK: for gaming... not so much... [23:29] abaddon, pulse is a wrapper around alsa right ? [23:29] omg_scout: It's Intel...shoulda gone with Nvidia...or ATI [23:29] sasha_: Yes [23:30] sasha_: Well...more or less [23:30] zykotick9 yes not for gaming [23:30] sasha_: pulse runs onto of alsa yes. it replaces ESD. [23:30] abaddon, yes direct alsa support it ; tested with openelec [23:30] nvidia is the best now for linux gaming i think [23:30] s/onto/ontop/ [23:30] sasha_: I once argued to a guy about purging pulse from the system and solely using ALSA and the forums called me an idiot,lol [23:30] zykotick9, ok that s it xbmc has its own audio engine separate from esd/oss/pulseaudio/ jackd ..... [23:31] abaddon: Why? Intel Hd4600 has enough power to run all 5 years old games I belive, and you get it for free. Anyway, I have issues with its driver, which I belive is not 100% following its windows counterpart [23:31] sasha_: It's never hurt me. But removing pulse will limit other functionality. [23:31] omg_scout: So you're using the propiatary drivers rather than the open drivers? [23:32] for intel HD cards is usually newest kernel the best [23:32] abaddon, ok guess i found my cuplrit here : http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7130/2 [23:32] HD3000/HD4000, newest kernel = better performance [23:33] sasha_: Ahhh..I learn something new every day [23:33] nismoSVK: I have 3.11.0-13-generic #20-Ubuntu. Is it worth going for a newer? [23:33] I'da advocated purging pulse. But the thing is I don't know how xbmc would handle it. [23:33] XD [23:34] omg_scout no if u dont want, its good [23:34] 3.11 have good results for intel HD [23:35] sasha_: Glad you found your culprit though [23:35] nismoSVK: Thank you, I will have a try. I don't want to keep dual boot only for those few games I play once in a month [23:35] abaddon, ;) thanks for your time btw [23:36] sasha_: Np, sorry I wasn't much help [23:36] abaddon, need to restart to test bye [23:36] sasha_: ciao [23:36] omg_scout: fine, i am using "only" 3.9.9 and its fine with intel, but i have nvidia optimus too, i use more times nvidia...what games u want play on linux? [23:37] how can install an older version (not the latest) of konqueror broswer for testing? [23:38] nismoSVK: It is mainly Crusader Kings, which uses Shaders I belive. I tried on their forum, but they claim they do not have active programmers in Linux to help that. On Windows it works well, on Ubuntu very ugly and slow. [23:39] icewalker: forwardporting is non-trivial most of the time... [23:39] abaddon, Sorry for calling you an idiot earlier, it was not fair. However I had asked the cheese user if they had hit f11, it just seemed you were more interested in giving answers rather than or knowing the whole picture we had at that point. [23:39] !cookie | wilee-nilee ;) [23:39] wilee-nilee ;): Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [23:39] omg_scout: u run it with WINE? i think u should try CSMT version of wine, whitch can improve direct3D games on linux very well (if it is on d3d) [23:40] zykotick9, I'm just willing to answer to my foibles, hehe. ;) === mint is now known as Guest24204 [23:40] Hi, can a livecd ubuntu run via a usb stick/drive detect/recognize a mounted sd card and read the files in it? [23:40] nismoSVK: Nope, it got official linux client, which one can get using Steam. Other Steam games work well on Ubuntu, like Half-life 2, which, I belive is as demanding as Crusader Kings [23:41] wilee-nilee: I think I'll live..barely. ;P Anyway, I apologize too as I should have asked to step in and get tyhe whole picture. Sorry.... [23:41] i trying to get/install an older broswer client that do support sni for testing on ubuntu13 [23:41] I'm needing some help troubleshooting a pxe/netboot install, the system was working great but unfortunately something changed and I'm not sure what - right now the installer is hanging right at loading the megasas driver as noted in terminal 4, my seed file is here: http://pastebin.com/UZqnUSXC [23:41] s/do/dont/ [23:41] Hi I encrypted my ubuntu /home. Now trying a debian OS (mint) any idea's how I can get it to read the encrypted data (what encryption tool does Ubuntu installer use?) [23:41] abaddon, I know you will. ;) [23:41] omg_scout: yes and u have problem with fps than ? [23:42] wilee-nilee: bwahajhahahahhahaha Ayyy [23:42] nismoSVK: FPS is lower, but also it just looks very ugly... hard to describe. Looks like it did some task on CPU, which is usually done on GPU, but I am not an expert here/ [23:42] i run into problem getting an old version of broswers (like firefox etct), any suggestions? [23:43] nismoSVK: Resolution and all graphic settings are all the same === james_ is now known as Guest67899 [23:43] omg_scout: yes its problem with game than, they should fix it soon [23:44] Is there anyone that has been able to install Ubuntu 12.x in a dual boot mode on Lenovo T series laptops? My main concern is compatibility with graphics and wireless. I have checked both the Lenovo and Ubuntu hardware compatibility web site. There is a clause there that the standard ubuntu may not work well with the certified systems. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201309-14169/ [23:44] omg_scout: maybe u can try run it with WINE (windows version of the game) if u will have same issues, maybe its problem only with linux client [23:45] Sam__: if the install image works, that's that [23:45] if it doesn't work, it might still work with some extra effort [23:46] nismoSVK: People say it works with other gfx cards, so I hope it will get resolved sooner or later;) === jhf is now known as Guest28941 [23:47] omg_scout: yes it will :-) [23:47] * wilee-nilee attempts a kinder nicer persona on the IRC just for fun === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [23:48] hi guys, i am having a problem installing gksu on my Ubuntu 13.10 install [23:48] reisio: I am planning to buy a lenovo model T with Windows installed and make it dual boot by using ubuntu's installer from Windows. I was trying to find if anyone has been able to perform this and on which Lenvo T model. [23:49] allstarsnorks2: What happens when you try? [23:49] allstarsnorks2, sudo apt-get install gksu does not do it? [23:49] I love Ubuntu 13.10 [23:49] Sam__: I did that, any questions? [23:49] abaddon: E: Unable to locate package gksu [23:50] allstarsnorks2, What release, and this is a canononical ubuntu right, not a derivative? [23:50] allstarsnorks2: Welll...this may better suit wilee-nilee [23:50] canonical Ubuntu 13.10 [23:50] Sam__: I installed ubuntu 12 and 13 + Windows 7 and 8 dualboot on T530 and T430, almost all configurations, worked without issues [23:51] wilee-nilee: 100% Ubuntu 13.10 from Canonical [23:52] anyone know about accessing data encrypted by Ubuntu? [23:52] allstarsnorks2, Can you run cat /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin it? [23:52] omg_scout: Two quick questions. 1) Which Lenovo model T did you use ? Do you remember ther graphcs and wireless chip vendor? 2) Were you able to install ubuntu using the dual boot installer from Ubuntu on Windows 7? [23:53] Hi, guys? can a livecd ubuntu run via a usb stick/drive detect/recognize a mounted sd card and read the files in it?Hi, can a livecd ubuntu run via a usb stick/drive detect/recognize a mounted sd card and read the files in it? [23:53] just a minute [23:54] blognewb, Should, you mounting it from the live session>? [23:54] May I stephan in for a sec wilee-nilee? Looking it up it seems gksu has been left out after Ubu 13:04 Rather gksudo is used in its stead. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:54] abaddon, YOu have to have gksu to run gksudo I believe. [23:55] wilee-nilee: Saysthey're not identical [23:55] wilee-nilee: Says they're not identical on the forums [23:55] wilee-nilee, from the live session sir yes [23:55] abaddon, I have seen that error when I ran it without it being installed I believe. [23:55] Sam__: I used T530 (I do not have it anymore so I cannot tell you about wifi vendor) but it had intel HD4000. I dualbooted using GRUB, without problems. Ubuntu worked "out of the box", Windows 7 needed most of the drivers installed (including ethernet card, which is pretty fail). Now I have T430 , also dualboot with Windows, and not a single problem with them. [23:55] abaddon, that's weird because i saw that gksudo is gone. I can get gksu just not gksudo === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [23:56] blognewb, So not being read? what format is the ssd in and has there been a problem with it already? [23:56] wilee-nilee: http://pastebin.com/cRqRkPtP [23:56] wilee-nilee: shadytv_ here is the discussion about it. Guy talked to devs about it.http://askubuntu.com/questions/284306/why-is-gksu-no-longer-installed-by-default-in-13-04 [23:57] Hi, I have connected my mobile (android) to my laptop (ubuntu). but when I run the command lsblk, I can not see the partition of the mobile phone. Do you know how can I cp my mobile contents via cmd? [23:57] mojtaba1: honestly easier to do it over wireless [23:57] i have a 5 year old eeepc (netbook). What version of ubuntu is optimized for it these days? [23:57] abaddon, "As a clarification, gksudo and gksu are not identical, even though one is a symbolic link to another" [23:57] wilee-nilee: true [23:57] wilee-nilee, no i am planning to go get an sd card and another usb stick now, i was trying to make sure if a livecd run via usb drive can mount/read/write to an sd card or should i get another usb [23:58] abaddon, I have had an error on gksudo " install gksu" [23:58] so, any luck? @wilee-nilee? [23:58] i hate abaddon [23:58] reisio: Just for my curiosity. How can I do that via cmd? [23:58] Sam__: Do you need help partitioning or anything? [23:58] bwahahaha strtok thanks.... wilee-nilee mmmmmmk [23:59] allstarsnorks2_, open the sources list and untick the partners run a update and try again. [23:59] wilee-nilee, are you still there? [23:59] mojtaba1: without wireless? [23:59] strtok: Don't worry, you can bash me since I have to go. =] I hate me at times too. [23:59] blognewb, Yes [23:59] reisio: yes [23:59] wilee-nilee: how do i do that? SOrry, I'm a LInux noob here. [23:59] mojtaba1: you'd have to find the devices and mount them
