blognewbwilee-nilee, so can a livecd read and write to an sd card?00:00
reisioblognewb: probably, depends on if that's in the kernel, which it probably is00:00
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2_, Easiest is sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the # in front of saucy partners. Genrally I would say gksudo her to open it but that is the crux.00:01
blognewbreisio, what does kernel mean here? im so dumb about hardware and interfaces im sorry00:01
wilee-nileehere*00:01
zykotick9!gksudo | wilee-nilee00:01
ubottuwilee-nilee: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)00:01
mojtabareisio: it is already mounted and I can see it via GUI. But how can I have access to it via cmd?00:01
reisiomojtaba: should say where it is at the top of the file manager00:02
reisiomojtaba: or you can right-click on a directory and open a terminal00:02
allstarsnorks2_okay done00:02
wilee-nileezykotick9, The user has no gksudo and can't install gksu, I'm assuming it is in the partners repo, I would suggest a cli edit but this is a fresh user, you are welcome to show them how. ;)00:02
reisioblognewb: it's a fundamental part of an OS, in the case of GNU/Linux it holds most of the drivers, like for card readers00:02
mojtabareisio: mtp://[usb:002,077]/Phone/DCIM/Camera00:03
reisioblognewb: most live OS images will have large kernels built to support a lot of hardware automatically00:03
reisiomojtaba: ah, mtp is something else00:03
allstarsnorks2_wilee-nilee: removed the 2 # that contains ubuntu partners00:03
zykotick9wilee-nilee: i'd suggest "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" from terminal then...00:03
reisiomojtaba: if it doesn't show up in the output of the 'mount' command, you'd probably have to copy it from the file manager, graphically00:03
wilee-nileezykotick9, Which can be a problem if the person does not know how to save, as I said feel free to instruct. a single sudo on the sources list is hardly a problem, it is long term not using that is.00:04
blognewbreisio, i see so the kernel is not a hardware right?00:04
zykotick9wilee-nilee: fyi gksu is in "main" whatever ubuntu calls that...00:04
mojtabareisio: You mean there is no way to reach it via cmd?!00:04
zykotick9!info gksu00:04
ubottugksu (source: gksu): graphical frontend to su. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2-6ubuntu2 (saucy), package size 26 kB, installed size 172 kB00:04
mojtabareisio: Actually I have copied lots of files and I would like to see if they are identical or not via cmd.00:04
reisiomojtaba: no there are probably lots of ways00:05
reisiobut I don't know mtp, so I don't know what tools there are for it00:05
wilee-nileezykotick9, I had them run cat /etc/apt/sources.list and pastbin it that repo is open and gave them the install command yet no gksu.00:05
zykotick9wilee-nilee: i have to assume the origional poster is NOT running ubuntu00:05
allstarsnorks2_so?00:05
reisiomojtaba: other than if it shows up in 'mount' output00:05
reisioblognewb: right, software00:05
mojtabareisio: no00:05
Imaginati0nHello i installed ubuntu and i have one question. Is it normal for the update manager to auto-open when it has new updates?00:05
mehworki have a 5 year old eeepc (netbook). Will the latest version of ubuntu work on it? I want something fast00:05
zykotick9wilee-nilee: oh right, i saw you do that - and thought it was clever.  so they are running ubuntu?00:06
wilee-nileezykotick9, here is their cat. http://pastebin.com/cRqRkPtP00:06
zykotick9wilee-nilee: sorry, i don't visit pastebin.com00:06
wilee-nileezykotick9, Probably a bad install command00:06
reisiomehwork: what processor? how much ram?00:06
wilee-nileezykotick9, yeah it's ubuntu00:06
reisiomehwork: what graphics?00:07
zykotick9wilee-nilee: that's messed then...  best of luck, to you and the OP00:07
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2_, Have you run a sudo apt-get update00:07
mehworkreisio: 1gb ram. itel atom cpu00:07
mehwork10.1" ultra-mobility display00:07
wilee-nileezykotick9, It's a mystery I tell yah. ;)00:07
zykotick9mehwork: consider xubuntu/lubuntu if you are looking for speed...00:08
reisiomehwork: and I'm guessing only intel graphics?00:08
allstarsnorks2_wilee-nilee: running it now and will update you00:08
Sam__omg_scout  Thanks for all the good information. I have not bought the Lenovo model T yet so I am hoping that the installer can lead me through repartitioning the drive. Thanks for the help again.00:08
mehworkreisio: probably00:08
reisiomehwork: yeah, basically what zykotick9 said00:08
mehworkreisio: i dont even care about graphics. i'd be happy for just a cli version of ubuntu if it's possible00:08
reisioyou can get more if you go with even less still, too00:08
Imaginati0nIs it normal for the update manager to auto-open in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?00:08
mehworki just want it to run fast. It has an ubuntu on it right now and it's super slow00:08
mehworkbut i havent reinstalled in years00:08
reisiomehwork: what do you want to do with it?00:08
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2_, Always run that first when you install.00:09
mehworkreisio: just command-line stuff00:09
reisiomehwork: you could just disable X then00:09
mehworkand python00:09
mehworkhow do you disable x?00:09
reisiobut if you want to install a new version anyways, use the minimalcd, I think it might let you opt out of desktop environment00:09
mehworki want it to be permenant so it doesnt load it slowly everytime i reboot00:10
Guest24204is it possible to mount /home enrypted by ubuntu in another OS? How does Ubuntu Encrypt?00:10
allstarsnorks2_how many files will it update?00:10
reisiomehwork: what version of Ubuntu has it got?00:11
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2_, None till you run sudo apt-get upgrade00:11
reisioGuest24204: yes, but you need to know the answer to that question00:11
blognewbhey guys i know my bios version but how do i find out if it can boot from SD so i can boot the ubuntu from there please :(( help me oh00:11
reisioGuest24204: it can vary, but it's probably with ecryptfs00:11
mehworkreisio: 10.1000:11
allstarsnorks2_wilee-nilee: Huh, well then00:11
zykotick9wilee-nilee: did "apt-get update" fix the missing gksu?00:11
reisiomehwork: so it's using GNOME?00:11
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2_, Running the update is key to seeting up the communication between the computer and the repos on a install.00:11
wilee-nileesetting*00:12
wilee-nileezykotick9, Still waiting for the answer.00:12
allstarsnorks2_wilee-nilee: okay then I'll update you. for now it's just running.00:12
reisiomehwork: probably be sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove00:12
nismoSVKsudo apt-get upgrade00:12
reisiomehwork: or s/gdm/lightdm00:12
Guest24204reisio: does LMDE have encryptfs?00:12
reisioGuest24204: 'ecryptfs', is available to any distro00:12
reisioas is basically any software00:12
Guest24204reisio: right, but I can't boot my new OS to install it..00:13
allstarsnorks2_well, it detected "gksu" alright. @wilee-nilee00:13
Guest24204reisio: at least I have something to google now. Thanks00:13
wilee-nileezykotick9, I did neglect to check which repo it was in and assumed the partners, having it not part of the stock install, hehe the bot would have told me. We have lift off now. ;)00:14
reisioGuest24204: hrmm?00:14
Guest24204reisio: I guess I can try re-intsalling ubuntu..00:14
zykotick9wilee-nilee: nice!  good job.  <that is why i sent the "!info gksu" to you>00:14
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2_, Cool, so you understand that intial ujpdate run to sync the repos with the computer and update and upgrade are standard commands.00:15
reisioGuest24204: to accomplish what?00:15
* wilee-nilee bows to zykotick9 00:15
wilee-nileein thanks00:15
zykotick9wilee-nilee: ;)00:15
Guest24204reisio: A system I can access my files in..00:16
mehworkreisio: i ran that command and it just said it was removing gdm startuplinks but when i rebooted it went rigght back into gnome00:16
allstarsnorks2_GREAT! Now I can start installing relinux. Thanks guys.00:16
reisioGuest24204: what's this got to do with ecryptfs?00:16

pngl_Ari-Yang: I was running 14.04 daily earlier and I had none of those glitches so I thought it could be some kind of drivers issues00:42

pngl_wilee-nilee: Sorry, I don't understand. Ubuntu comes with Unity, and gnome-shell is what I installed00:42
Ari-Yangpngl_: what graphics card do you have?00:43
grahamsavage__Hi, i've been using ubuntu unity on 12.04 about 6 months now full time and i find the windowing management infurating.   The main issue being having multiple windows in a single application open.  For example imagine having 8 windows in an IDE open and 12 terminal windows open.  In both windows and OSX if i want to open a particular tab i click on the icon in the dock or the start menu, all the windows for that application come to focus and i can00:43
grahamsavage__easily select any of the current windows.  In unity, i have to click wait for it for it to fade out the windows and then select each window indvidually.  This is a huge inefficiency every day and i've not been able to find any work around even though i know most of the ubuntu shortcuts.  Is there anyway to work around this?00:43

Ari-Yangwups00:44
pngl_Ari-Yang: I didn't choose anything so if that's the default, yes.00:45
wilee-nileepngl_, Good, that is much clearer, I was just point out that unity is a plugin in compiz running on top if gnome 3, just trying to confrim what installing gnome meant.00:45
sprunggrahamsavage_, you need CompizConfig Manager.00:45
sprunggrahamsavage_, You'll want to disable the window effects using that tool.00:45
Ari-Yangpngl_: alright, maybe you should use latest intel driver then seeing how you're using kernel 3.12... before you try that, I suggest booting into a previous kernel (ubuntu's kernel) and see if you have any glitches00:45
sprunggrahamsavage_, you may have to download it via the Ubuntu Software Center.00:46
dvb-nouveauhas anyone managed to install klear on ubuntu 12.04?00:46
grahamsavage__sprung: it's not the effects thats the issue, it's that the windows don't all come to focus00:46

=== left is now known as right
sprungdvb-nouveau, the way you are forming the question is very bad. We're assuming you already googled for an answer, and you didn't find anything, which you can form a hypothesis using induction that not many people have used this tool, in general, let alone in this channel.00:48
Andeni'll try a different take on my question: can i uninstall a package without removing the files? so that it just disappears from apt-get but leaves the files it installed on my drive00:48
wilee-nileepngl, None of that is technically supported the kernal or the ppa, just a heads up is all.00:48
=== right is now known as wrong
Ari-Yangpngl: when I say latest, I mean like version from git00:49
pnglwilee-nilee: since I need 3.12 to correctly run Ubuntu on my laptop, I guess that mans I'm in trouble00:49
Ari-Yangpngl: you can either compile from git http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ which I don't recommend00:49
Ari-Yangpngl: or add this ppa from here https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/ and run apt-get dist-upgrade00:49
Ari-Yangwhich I recommend00:49
Ari-Yangpngl: that ppa only supports 13.04 and 13.10 btw00:49
dvb-nouveaua guy who i lost touch with managed to install klear on ubuntu 11.10 (NO goole info on that) but i want to install klear on ubuntu 12.04?00:49
sprungdvb-nouveau, using deductive reasoning formed from the hypothesis through induction, the conclusion is you shouldn't ask whether anyone has used klear, you should instead provide error logs and links to what klear is, also what ubuntu version you are using would be helpful00:49
wilee-nileepngl, Not necessarily, you just have some limitations possibly, and I would be sure that is really the case. I doubt it is.00:50
wilee-nileedvb-nouveau, Is it in the 12.04 repos?00:50
grahamsavage__sprung: ok.. i've installed it.. and it's disabled the animation.. it still doesn't bring the windows to the front00:50

Ari-Yangpngl: and that's ubuntu's 3.11 right?00:50
pnglAri-Yang: If you mean 13.10, yes00:51
sprunggrahamsavage_, you mean you want certain windows to be Always On Top?00:51
pnglwilee-nilee: you mean you doubt I'll have limitations or you doubt I need the 3.12 kernel?00:51

Ari-Yangpngl: after you add the ppa, run apt-get dist-upgrade, log out and log back in (because you updated the driver)00:52
dvb-nouveausprung, you mean Eric S. Raymond???00:52
pnglwilee-nilee: you're right -- actually I just need two patches. But I just tried with 3.11 and got the same issues.00:52
wilee-nileepngl, Some here just wont help unless it is stock from the repos for good reasons, unless there is no other option.00:52
sprunggrahamsavage_, i don't know man i think you should probably just install windows 8 and give up00:52
Ari-Yangpngl: if you want to revert changes run ppa-purge ppa-here-00:53
grahamsavage__at the moment it only brings the most recently selected window to the front00:53
* MrHacks wishes there was some device on eBay he can buy to bridge MTP devices with USB making the USB side on the computer was a regular media device and the device side thinking it was some MTP compatible computer.00:53

grahamsavage__sprung: i find it hard to believe that everyone would just put up with it :/00:53

jubaleHrm. I'll be back in a bit.00:54

wilee-nileeMrHacks, There is a mtp ppa that was suggested for 12.04 you might look.00:55

pete-478I'm using OpenVPN for VPN and also noticed that remote shell is laggy when tranfering files, so the slow speed has something to do with VPN. Does OpenVPN throttle bandwidth or is it somehow inherently slow?00:56

MrHackswilee-nilee: tried that and it didn't work for KFHD7. connections are flakey with gvfs-mtp with my rooted Cyanogenmod'd HP Touchpad00:58
sprunggrahamsavage_, what happens what you left click the terminal icon and a group of windows comes up to select to go to the foreground and you select one that is not in the current foreground?00:58
grahamsavage__yes, that works00:58
BuntuFuntuMrHacks, do they still  sell Touchpads?00:59
wilee-nileepngl, That link comes up at untrusted on FF here, can you run lspci if the wifi is internal and lsusb if external and post the actual hardware, the cpu scaling I would have no clue of.00:59
sprunggrahamsavage_, is your xchat set to always on top?00:59
MrHacksNo. I snagged my when HP decided to sell them for $99 because WebOS sucked00:59
grahamsavage__sprung: ok think of it this way... imagine i have 100 terminal windows how do i bring them all to focus .. do i have to go   1. click menu 2. click window A  2. click menu 3. click menu B ... repeat ?01:00

ubottubvms: 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/IptablesHowTo02:07

abaddonreisio: .... T.T03:04
zykotick9abaddon: ya, that's true.  sometime they can work, but usually not so much.  ubuntu is based off debian sid/testing - packages for sid/testing will typically NOT work in debian's real release = stable.  so packages for ubuntu are expected VERY different versions from debian stable...03:04

abaddonzykotick9: You're saying I can't make a base and port it to Ubu 'cause of Canon?03:35
sprungor like how the Amazon search spyware Canonical put in Ubuntu wont work unless Canon supports it?03:35
zykotick9abaddon: supported and possible are not the samething.03:35
abaddonzykotick9: Right, I get that, so my question is when will Wayland be up and running assuming they complete it?03:36
sprunghttps://fixubuntu.com/03:36
zykotick9abaddon: i doubt wayland will be packaged in ubuntu... but maybe.  ask mark.03:36
sprungplease make sure you install unity-lens-shopping03:37
sprungso canonical can make money03:37
abaddonzykotick9: Sooo...what is it being supported on? And who is mark?03:37
zykotick9abaddon: Mark is the dictator (for life) of ubuntu.03:37
abaddonzykotick9: Doy me. XD03:38
sprungeven Red Hat doesn't steal your private information and sell it to Amazon03:38
sprungshame on you Canonical03:38
zykotick9ops can someone deal with sprung?03:39
sprungwww.fixbuntu.com03:39
abaddonzykotick9: But I don't get it. If I develope a program, how is Canon going to stop compatability? It's open software?03:39
wafflejockabaddon: he's saying they don't offer support for it03:39
wafflejocknot that they can stop you from making it work03:39

onizuhi03:40
wafflejockonizu: hello03:40
abaddonwafflejock: zykotick9 OHHHHH, I thought...nvm.... X.X I thought he was implying it wouldn't work 'cause of that. I just wanted to know when Wayland will be functional enough to use. I'm assuming they'll have a Ubu version ready.03:41
onizucan someone help me install my onboard graphic accelerator : nvidia geforce gt 540m ?03:41
zykotick9abaddon: again, i wouldn't hold your breath for a wayland implementation on ubuntu.03:41
abaddonzykotick9: They not making a version for Ubu?03:42
abaddondamb03:42
onizui had trouble with nouveau and to to install using nomodeset . now after installing, i tried installing bumblebee but it didn't seem to work. my guess it several drivers were clashing with each other.03:42
zykotick9abaddon: that's up to mark.03:42
wafflejockabaddon: yeah really if they're going with a major overhaul in one direction it's not likely they will build support for another big part, it doesn't mean you can't use other distros03:42
linuxlite1991i love windows!!!!03:42

onizuwith installing my nvidia graphics03:47
abaddononizu: Sup?03:47
abaddonmmm03:47
onizuabaddon: see my messages above03:47
abaddononizu: XD I did , sorry03:48
onizunp03:48
abaddononizu: Anyway, what have you tried?03:48
onizutried installing bumblebee03:48
onizudidn't work. so i uninstalled all nvidia that came with it03:48
CorvetteHey can someone help me? Suddenly my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS says 'Wired Connection ; Disconnected' in the WiFi menu and doesn't display any WiFi03:48
abaddononizu: Errr... is bumblebee the driver version?03:49
reisioCorvette: find the hardware wireless disable switch, and toggle it03:49
abaddononizu: Uh huh, and you've got no gui?03:49
Corvettereisio did that03:49
Corvettereisio several times03:49
abaddonno0p: Correct?03:49
onizuabaddon: i have03:49
onizuthis is what i have: http://ubuntuone.com/2v622ZnWZM8QJGe9WodPbT03:50
reisioCorvette: make sure it's turned on, then reboot03:50
abaddononizu: Ahh, ok...so did you try through terminal to install bumblebee or through Nvidia's site?03:50
onizuabaddon: terminal03:50
zykotick9Corvette: if you dual-boot with windows, boot that other OS and see if it's enabled there.03:51
abaddononizu: Why not try through their site and dl their deb file?03:51
onizuabaddon: i downloaded a .run file03:51
onizubut can't seem to run it really03:51
lostlambgreetings, I'm trying to install potent poinsettia (or something of that ilk) to my alienware laptop, but keep receiving an error about not having the graphics card drivers.  This wouldn't be an issue, but after telling it to run in low settings, it crashes.  Is there a work around, or something I'm missing?03:51
onizui booted into recovery mode and did : sh NVIDIA.whatever.run03:52
abaddononizu: Did you type sudo ./Blahh as your command?03:52
zykotick9onizu: IMO if you have a .run file - you're using the WRONG strategy!03:52
onizuit gave some error: can't wrote to /tmp , iirc03:52
Corvettereisio none of that works03:52
Corvettezykotick9 I don't dual boot03:52
onizuabaddon: i was already root03:52
onizuabaddon: i mean , the prompt was # instead of $03:52
zykotick9Corvette: best of luck (i don't have any other suggestions for you)03:53
onizuzykotick9: why is that?03:53
reisioCorvette: wireless router on?03:53
abaddononizu: Ok, but what about trying ./blah.run as your command instead of bash blah.run03:53
Corvettereisio yes and I can normally pick up neighbors03:53
onizuabaddon: i'll have to try that - need to kill x03:53
abaddononizu: Sounds good03:53
reisioCorvette: run an update recently?03:54
zykotick9onizu: this is debian's dpkg bot's factoid for "why nvidia installer sucks": nvidia-installer works fine for you today, granted.  Let's say tomorrow Xorg is updated -- the nvidia driver will break.  If you try to uninstall nvidia (nvidia-installer --uninstall), then you break Xorg badly.03:54
Corvettereisio yes today03:54
zykotick9 nvidia-installer overwrites files at random, ad has NO CONCEPT of package management.  We recommend against using it based on extensive experience.  USE THE DEBIAN PACKAGES.  Ask me abo.ut <nvidia>.03:54
Corvettereisio and it did say stuff about wireless security03:54
abaddonI've not heard of that b4 but better to listen to zykotick9 on this one onizu03:55
reisioCorvette: well, that's probably the culprit, then03:55
Corvettereisio how do I downgrade03:55
reisioask the channel03:56
zykotick9abaddon: onizu left :|03:56
CorvetteHow do I undo an apt update I did today03:56
abaddonzykotick9: XD I hope my method works mat least03:56
CorvetteIt seems to have killed my wifi capability03:56
abaddonzykotick9: Does ati have the same prob as nvidia?03:57
BuntuFuntuHmm, havent had to update since yesterday. Usually for me theres updates available in the morning ;o03:57
zykotick9abaddon: i avoid ATI (enemy of free software) so i wouldn't know.03:57
lostlambpardon, I don't mean to intrude again, but I'm still not certain how to get past the low graphics option when installing ubuntu on my alienware laptop.  After it doesn't find the graphics drivers,it sort of just hangs after attempting to go to low graphics until it's powere.03:58
abaddonzykotick9: I ask because I'm using ATI's drivers rather than the open ones. Really? ATI??? T.T And I like them so much....03:58
zykotick9abaddon: fyi, with amd/ati, you can't use "free" 3d drivers = fail IMO03:59
abaddonzykotick9: Hince why I'm useing the propriatary ones. XD04:00
zykotick9abaddon: nvidia has supported both gnu/linux and BSD for YEARS.  amd/ati was LATE in that game (i'm talking about non-free here).04:00
zykotick9abaddon: fyi, my first 3d support under gnu/linux WAS on an ATI card... that was a long time ago.04:01
onizuabaddon: it didn't work04:01
abaddonzykotick9: But 'ol Linus is famous for saying "Fuck you Nvidia"?? I kinda got the impression they were not the most helpful04:01

sandman13is there a way to access .mozilla04:08
wafflejocksandman13: if it's in your home folder you can use Ctrl+H in nautilus to show hidden files04:09

wafflejockor ls -al at the command line04:09
wafflejockor Ctrl+. in dolphin04:09
wafflejocker alt rather dang04:09

sandman13wafflejock: ctrl+h show hidden files or...04:10
lostlambif both are up and running though, the code stops on the laptop, and the mouse freezes on the monitor.04:10

abaddonwafflejock: quick tip. You don't need to type cd ~ to get to home. cd will do the job as well04:12
wafflejockabaddon: ah right just never think about that did stumble on it at some point though04:12
abaddonwafflejock: XD Also, l -al would be nicer if he just wants to see the files rather than all the info.04:13
abaddonwafflejock: Just my two cents04:13
zykotick9abaddon: actually "l -al" won't show anything :p04:14
zykotick9abaddon: ;)04:14

abaddonwafflejock: un momento por favor04:16
dreamx87so I installed ubuntu on a toshiba Satelite C655, but it's not picking up the network card driver at all, it won't recognize (mount) external devices (usb/cd) while in ubuntu, any clues how to get the drivers there via alternative means?04:16
zykotick9abaddon: that' might be "expected", we are on different distros ;)04:16
abaddonzykotick9: wafflejock T.T I'm sorry, I'm wrong.04:16
wafflejockabaddon: no worries04:17
wafflejockdreamx87: sounds like disparate problems04:17
wafflejockdreamx87: you should approach each issue separately04:17
wafflejockdreamx87: generally speaking you want to use lspci or lsusb to get info about your devices (mainly the device id to lookup)04:18
abaddonwafflejock: It's l -a Derp. I'ma hush now04:18
abaddoncries in corner04:18
abaddonwafflejock: will blkid work too for giving device ids?04:20
wheatthinabaddon, only UUI's of hd's04:21
wheatthinUUID's*04:21
zykotick9wheatthin: sidenote, i find LABELS a lot easier to work with then UUIDs.  YMMV.04:22
abaddonwheatthin: Is not the UUID the device id? Or is it HW:0,9, etc?04:22

unicornjedihelloo, I created a subdomain with freeDNS. How can I use it so that it points to my IP address?04:27
wafflejockabaddon: the first 7 characters from lspci or after the ID word in the lsusb output are numbers that correspond to the hardware04:27
wafflejockabaddon: they both also give human readable names of the devices04:28
wafflejockunicornjedi: where are you stuck? do you know your IP?04:28
wheatthinit'll be in a ration sequence04:28
sandman13i downloaded xdm accidently is there a way to remove it04:28
wheatthinratio*04:28
unicornjediwafflejock, I know my IP.  I have my apache2 server set up as well.04:28
Ben64unicornjedi: thats really not an ubuntu issue, check with freedns or maybe ##networking or something04:28
abaddonwafflejock: Hmmm, ok.04:28
unicornjediwafflejock, if I type in my subdomain in firefox (swagdogs.mooo.com) I can see the webpage but noone else can04:30
wheatthinunicornjedi, although that's a networking issue, You'll use your external IP address while creating a subdomain with your dns provider. Then you go configure apache to use that dns04:30
adam_where can I find the SSL module for apache2? I'd like to apt-get it04:30
adam_ie, what ppa do I need to add04:31
hamiltontwafflejock: just to be sure, you want to check that your IP address a public IP address. Easy way is to open a terminal and do this: "curl ifconfig.me"04:31
wafflejockadam_: believe you need openssl not to add a ppa04:31
=== steveb_ is now known as Guest35057
Ben64unicornjedi: you really should be asking in ##networking04:31
adam_oh. I'll google for that04:31
hamiltontoops, meant to ping unicornjedi , sorry!04:31
adam_thanks04:31
wafflejockhamiltont: np just confused04:31
wafflejock:)04:31
hamiltontYea my bad ;-)04:31
unicornjediokay ill head over to networking. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE04:31
hamiltontunicornjedi: So it's pretty simple over all, but the "normal" home setup can be one of the hardest to get right04:32
hamiltontYour home router needs to know how to allow incoming port 80 traffic to be "port forwarded" to your computer04:33
wheatthinnah, you just have to setup the alias to use that subdomain.. not too hard04:33
hamiltont(if you're not on a home network e.g. you're using a server, then it's even easier)04:33
Ben64take it to ##networking04:33

unicornjedihamiltont, haha, that's right. whenever I am on my website, I tie up my local area network04:34
sandman13i downloaded xdm accidently is there a way to remove it04:34
hamiltontFair enough. Ben's right though, drop this into the other channel and we can resume there04:34
wafflejocksandman13: anything you install with apt-get install you can remove with apt-get remove or apt-get purge04:34
Ben64joossee_: give more details. how you installed ubuntu, what the computer is, any ppas you might have04:35
wafflejocksandman13: purge gets rid of binaries and config, remove just the binaries but leaves config04:35

DRiceTechhey guys, I'm having a problem with Server 13.10 - anytime I do a restart or reboot, the computer shuts down - i have to manually restart the server04:38
wafflejocksandman13: there are some alternatives like synaptic but I generally prefer just dropping to the command line personally04:38
wafflejocksandman13: I only use the package managers if I want to selectively update or something like that in most cases... or I just want to browse occasionally04:38
wafflejocksandman13: I'm on KDE now so the default is Muon... it's fine I suppose, feel indifferent about it04:39

allstarsnorks2Like using Relinux and such04:41
allstarsnorks2Yep04:41
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2, Canonical ubuntu only.04:41
wilee-nileeor Canonical releases04:41
abaddonwilee-nilee: Thank you04:41
wilee-nileeabaddon, no prob.04:41
allstarsnorks2So Ubuntu distros that are custom made are not considered Canonical Ubuntu?04:41
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2, No they are derivatives.04:42
wafflejockxsi_: you just need to enable the appropraite modules between your php.ini and your apache config04:42
allstarsnorks2Was about to ask the install error but okay then04:42
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2, there is a ##linux channel and some for derivatives.04:42
wafflejockxsi_: if you're looking for mysql support search the php.ini for mysql to see where the modules need to be uncommented if they are commented out currently04:43
xsi_wafflejock I'm confused with windows's .dll files in php.ini (on my Gentoo) and 100% sure it's on a friend's Ubuntu04:43
wafflejockxsi_: the config files have some generic stuff that is preconfigured based on windows installs you need to correct sometimes04:44
wafflejockxsi_: not many places but there are a few04:44
wafflejockxsi_: mostly when it comes to paths and the like04:44
wafflejockxsi_: believe all of that stuff is commented out by default though so it all still works fine04:45

xsi_wafflejock ok )04:47
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2, choose it at the login window and login it will default there then.04:47
xsi_Who uses here Openbox I have very old bug04:47
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2, Have you install XFCE?04:47

allstarsnorks2I know04:48
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2,unless it is part of the xubunutu install which I believe it is, look at the dropdown at the login.04:49

allstarsnorks2But will installing xfce4 on Ubuntu give me Xubuntu's look or just stock xfce?04:53
greyhatpythonIt is still a spyware even after i disable the online search results?04:53
wafflejockgreyhatpython: the lens does lookups on Amazon and it does log what you're typing in there just like Google logs stuff from your e-mail to tell you when your flight is and YouTube keeps track of what you watch to suggest Ads04:53
abaddongreyhatpython: Just read up on their polacies and the complaints.04:53
wafflejockgreyhatpython: you can use XUbuntu Kubuntu or some other flavor if you really want to avoid unity otherwise you can remove/disable the functionality04:54
abaddongreyhatpython: It's a really good os. It just has problems like all other os's out there04:54
wilee-nileegreyhatpython, No more spyware then the rest you are attached to when you hit the web, not really any more than a colloquial term and inaccurate at best.04:54
wafflejockgreyhatpython: I used Ubuntu for quite a while, was sort of off put when Unity came around (we fear change) but then it sort of grew on me... after checking out KDE though I decided I liked the control/customization more04:55
abaddongreyhatpython: After disabling the stuff you're more or less good.04:56

greyhatpythonok if it logs just like you said like youtube that means no harm to my privacy04:56
abaddonThough, you may not like the package called popularity-contest. It sends info about what pkgs you use the most so that Canon can get a beter sense nof what users use04:57
greyhatpythonok then i don't feel this is a critical issue.04:58
abaddongreyhatpython: cool, welcome to Ubu04:58
abaddon=]04:58
wafflejockgreyhatpython: yeah it's not like they're digging up your credit card numbers or watching you through your webcam, that said I personally am a bit paranoid and if I was trying to build a real secure system would start with gentoo or arch or something with less going on but I don't feel it's a huge issue04:58
wheatthinehh, invasion of privacy.. lol04:58
greyhatpythonlet them know  what package i use because i use open source package itself04:58
wilee-nileegreyhatpython, wave to the nsa as you go about the web. ;)04:58

greyhatpythonOne more question? Why TOR is not working in my Ubuntu 13.10?05:00
greyhatpythonI used PPA05:01
wafflejockgreyhatpython: does it just not install?05:01
abaddonPrivacy may be an illusion but I want a darn good one if I gotta put up with it. It's not happening so far though05:01

wilee-nileegreyhatpython, You want to use the tor browser from there site05:02
wilee-nileeallstarsnorks2, Then install xubuntu05:02
greyhatpythonThe tor browser bundle is out of date and doesn't launch firefox05:02
allstarsnorks2Damn.05:03

wafflejocklll: you can use either the startup section in your system settings or you can use your .profile or .bash_rc script05:09

wafflejockyeah this is my chill out after work thing to do lately05:15
wafflejocktrying to help and learning05:15
lotuspsychjewafflejock: good idea05:15
abaddonwilee-nilee: I try and help to learn more. XD At the expince of others...he...he...he....05:15
wafflejockabaddon: that happens sometimes but it can be unfortunate, always need to be cautious when giving out advice05:16
lotuspsychjebest way of learning is solving problems05:16
abaddonwafflejock: Trust me, I really work on not giving out useless info. I just mess up at times. =/05:16

lotuspsychjeim looking for an alternative to the package 'prey' an anti-theft program for laptops, any sugestions?05:18

ubottuprey (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 kB05:18
lotuspsychjeor a script maybe that can email the laptops location every ubuntu boot, would do the trick05:18
lotuspsychjeprey uses online administration and i dont like that very much05:19
=== woodchuck_ is now known as broketech
lotuspsychjeif someone hacks their online database, they can access all laptops location in the world...that not really the meaning of anti-theft right05:20
wafflejocklotuspsychje: if you configure sendmail to work you can just use mail to send a message I believe05:22
lotuspsychjewafflejock: but what information would it email?05:22
wheatthinlotuspsychje, use your imagination.05:22
wafflejocklotuspsychje: good question...05:22
lotuspsychjewheatthin: im trying to brainstorm about this, but prey is the only thing i found05:23
wafflejocklotuspsychje: perhaps route trace or something not sure about geo ip lookup easily from the command line though05:23
wheatthinlotuspsychje, that's more of an offtopic subject no?05:23
lotuspsychjewheatthin: no because im looking an ubuntu anti-theft package05:23
lotuspsychjei need an alternative ubuntu package05:24
wheatthinlol so go to #ubuntu-offtopic05:24
lotuspsychjewhy?05:24
lotuspsychjethis is ontopic05:24
wheatthinIs your system stranded or unuseable?05:24

techkid6Is there a way to disable middle mouse in Ubuntu, especially the paste deal? I keep pasting accidentally copied things into my IRC shell (irssi)05:26
lotuspsychjewheatthin: support on information of existing packages05:26
abaddonwheatthin: mmmm offering alternatives is support.05:26
joossee_wilee-nilee, no. what is SIGSEGV ?05:27
abaddonjoossee_: look up on google?05:27
abaddon>.>05:27
wafflejockjoossee_: https://www.google.com/search?q=SIGSEGV+in+XQuesryExtension&oq=SIGSEGV+in+XQuesryExtension&aqs=chrome..69i57.310j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=what+is+SIGSEGV&spell=105:27
wilee-nileejoossee_, Not sure, I would make sure this is not a a hardware problem with a live cd.05:27
abaddonlotuspsychje: I don't recall the name but there is another tracker.05:28
lotuspsychjeabaddon: nice, hope you refind in your memory :p05:28
abaddonlotuspsychje: something like patriot or eagle05:29
lotuspsychjeabaddon: lemme lookup tnx05:29
joossee_wafflejock, wilee-nilee i suspect there is a problem with my video card? would that be rational? I have error correcting server ram condfiured with 4GB's as backup on 32Gb ram server..05:29
abaddonlotuspsychje: I'll look through my bookmarks05:29
wheatthinjoossee_, is this 32bit or 64bit?05:29
joossee_wheatthin, 6405:29
joossee_i mean.. CLI stuff will run for days zero errors... but anything with a GUI seems suceptible?05:30
wilee-nileejoossee_, Dude, clinically it has been proven that the answer to any problem is gotten to fastest by starting at the simplest problems first.05:31
abaddonlotuspsychje: I think it actually was prey.... They just changed their web page05:32
abaddonlotuspsychje: =/05:32
joossee_wilee-nilee, dont disagree but running a boot CD..  does that even come with firefox? transmission? mupen64?05:32
lotuspsychjeabaddon: tnx for looking anyway mate05:32
abaddonjoossee_: it'll come with ff and transmission05:32
ianorlinunless it is mini05:32
wilee-nileejoossee_, FF yes Transmission I believe so, but is any of that even working for you now?05:33
lotuspsychjeabaddon: prey got a hidden package install, but i dont like its administration online05:33
wheatthinjoossee_, a livedvd will come with it, yes05:33
abaddonlotuspsychje: Yeah, sorry about that05:33
joossee_wilee-nilee, ya when it says firefox crashes, nothing actually happens. ff stays open works fine. transmission crashed and mupen crashed a day after i opened it...05:33
abaddonlotuspsychje: So I'm not sure whyn that's an issue? What is the likelyhood of them getting hacked?05:33
wilee-nileejoossee_ I suspect you have just messes up your install as a new user, could this be the case?05:33
joossee_can i get a live cd of server 64?05:33
wilee-nileemessed*05:34
joossee_wilee-nilee, i had to replace fglrx a bunch of times to make my cvard work... bad repos where to blame05:34
wafflejockjoossee_: doing a bit of googling I'm seeing a lot of it surrounding ATI05:34
lotuspsychjeabaddon: its just me, i dont trust online stuff, clouds..i prefer my own secure system05:34
wheatthinjoossee_, no, usually server installs are cli05:34
wafflejockjoossee_: yeah server install won't have the GUI05:34
irreverantwhats a good to share a screen online from ubuntu to windows05:34
wafflejockjoossee_: that's basically the point of the server install disk05:34
joossee_wheatthin, yes, but i installed ubuntu desktop ontop of server... this machine is a beast so overhead not a problem05:35
abaddonlotuspsychje: XD Gotta given an take bro. Maybe fork prey and improve upon it05:35
wilee-nileejoossee_, You have an upgrade right that had a bunch of not supported ppa's right?05:35
wheatthinjoossee_, but you can't install that ontop of a livecd05:35
abaddonlotuspsychje: Assuming it really is open05:35
joossee_wilee-nilee, yes the xorg/ender repo i think05:35
irreverantjoin.me doesnt work on ubuntu and screenleap seems to want to install java for linux, it uses rpm and then just offers linux05:35
irreverantbut im not sure if that means apt package installation05:35
joossee_wilee-nilee, now i only use the real ppas05:35
lotuspsychjeabaddon: maybe there's an ssh trick, once you boot laptop you could access it remote, but i need a warning method also05:36
irreverantany help?05:36
irreverantteam viewer a good one?05:36
wafflejockirreverant: likely a tar.gz which they will have a README for doing installation05:36
wafflejockirreverant: I've used Team viewer but not on linux it was fine05:36
wafflejockirreverant: if you just need remoting but not while viewing VNC will work (may be able to view as well can't recall)05:36
wilee-nileejoossee_, Heh, if it were me I would reinstall and document or remember/understand what I did and was doing. and clone at some point.05:36
joossee_wilee-nilee, i have a pretty good handle on what i did and did not do. not sure how thats helpful?05:37
abaddonlotuspsychje: hmmm, maybe write a bash script to ping tom a given network and if not on the network send an email?05:37
abaddonlotuspsychje: Then just use an application to get it's location05:37
lotuspsychjeabaddon: yes that might work05:37
lotuspsychjeabaddon: would be cool to get emails every ubuntu boot, if the thief is not too smart he will at least boot the latop once right05:38
abaddonlotuspsychje: If you're good with C or C++ maybe make us a newprog. ;P05:38
wilee-nileejoossee_, perfectly helpful, theoretically any open source OS is fixable, from your comments I doubt that last statement with a slight snicker. ;)05:38
joossee_i cant just go about rebooting my server to boot another OS. these errors arent super frequent.. just enuff to be annoying05:38
abaddonlotuspsychje: that'd do.05:39

joossee_heres more details on the specific issue I get as a "SegvReason Reading unknown VMA" SegvReason: writing unknown VMA would mean that something was attempting to write to the destination of a pointer aimed outside of allocated memory. (This is sometimes a security issue.)05:42

sandman13how to uninstall a program that is installed with java?06:24
wafflejocksandman13: java itself doesn't install programs06:24
wafflejocksandman13: or rather it's not typically used to install programs06:24
wafflejocksandman13: you can download a program with a java program then install it06:25
wafflejocksandman13: if it's a .sh file you'll have to see if it takes a --uninstall flag or has some other option for uninstalling06:25
wafflejocksandman13: if it's a .deb file you can use dpkg purge or dpkg deinstall if it's apt-get you use remove or purge06:26
sandman13wafflejock: in .sh file it is written java -jar filename.jar and nothing else06:26
wafflejockjava -jar just executes a java file06:26
wafflejockjar is a java archive06:26
wafflejock-jar just tells java runtime you're going to give it a jar file which is like a zip with a Manifest file in it that tells it which class to execute06:26
wafflejockthe class is a compiled java file06:27
wafflejockit could potentially do anything06:27
=== c_smith is now known as c_smith_away
sandman13wafflejock: that means i can simply remove it to "uninstall"06:27
wafflejocksandman13: generally speaking yes the jar file might write configuration files elsewhere but it's typical for a jar to have everything in it to run06:27
sandman13wafflejock: does the program leaves traces06:28
wafflejocksandman13: if you install stuff outside of apt-get though you need to follow the advice from the site where you obtained the installation about how to properly remove06:28
cyphaseanyone know what file to delete to re-enable the first time sudo message?06:29
wafflejocksandman13: this is one of the nice things about using dpkg/apt-get the packages have descriptors of what is installed where so it can be easily removed06:29
wilee-nileecyphase, first time sudo message?06:29
wafflejocksandman13: with a jar file it's up to whoever writes it to decide what conventions to follow when it comes to configuration files and the like06:29
cfhowlettcyphase, first time what?06:29
sandman13wafflejock: i followed the steps to get the programs like in this website: http://ubuntuportal.com/2013/04/xtreme-download-manager-alternative-internet-download-manager-for-linux.html06:31
cyphasewilee-nilee, sorry, it's late. that message that shows up the first time you use sudo; with great power comes great responsibility, etc06:31
meet_praveenhow can i set java home environment variable06:31
wilee-nileecyphase,  Poat the out out of running   lsb_release -a06:32
wilee-nileePost*06:32
wafflejocksandman13: you probably want to get rid of the jar file and go into your browser settings and remove any extensions it installed... beyond that I have no idea really..06:32
sandman13wafflejock: okay let's see06:33
wafflejocksandman13: if you want to try to be a bit more sure you can use something like this: http://linux.die.net/man/1/inotifywatch to watch what files get changed06:35
wafflejocksandman13: I haven't used that one in particular but have used similar tools in windows to see what exactly an installer is doing06:35
sandman13wafflejock: normally where do these program get installed?06:36
eminorsandman13: you can use dpkg -L <name> to see what files are in a software package06:37
wafflejocksandman13: like I said with jar it can be anywhere really... well really any package can install anywhere06:37
wafflejockeminor: he's dealing with a jar he executed06:37
wafflejockeminor: it installs some junk in your browser06:37
eminordon't use java :>06:38
wafflejocksandman13: usually your programs installed through apt-get will just be setup in /usr/bin or have symbolic links there06:39
wafflejockeminor: nothing wrong with Java it's used in huge deployments on WebSphere servers running clusters of machines, client side java isn't anything great but on the server it's fine06:39
sandman13wafflejock: threw it out from firefox06:40
sandman13wafflejock: it used proxy to automate downloads in case of chrome06:41
sandman13wafflejock: changed proxy from automatic to none06:41

cfhowlettimpradeepy, what is your ubuntu question.06:44
impradeepyi am searching a gui for fan controller06:45
impradeepyand temperature monitor for cpu06:46
wafflejockimpradeepy: there's psensor, I'm using KDE now there's some nice plasmoids/plasma widgets for showing the stats on everything... not sure about fan control06:46
impradeepywill try now06:47
impradeepypsensors are not available for 13.04 :(06:49
impradeepywafflejock any alternatives??06:50
wafflejockimpradeepy: sorry not sure on Unity, like I said in KDE lots of plasmoids for displaying the system stuff06:52
Ben64!info psensor raring | impradeepy06:52
ubottuimpradeepy: psensor (source: psensor): display graphs for monitoring hardware temperature. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.0.3-1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 56 kB, installed size 392 kB06:52
impradeepyits ok06:52
impradeepyubottu not available in software centre06:53
ubottuimpradeepy: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)06:53
Ben64impradeepy: yes it is, ubottu gets that info from the same location06:53
wafflejockimpradeepy: psensor no s06:54

gartralwhere is ia32-libs for 13.10? I really need that package06:59
wafflejockgartral: http://askubuntu.com/questions/107230/what-happened-to-the-ia32-libs-package07:00
wafflejockgartral: alternatively have you considered compiling whatever it is that depends on ia32 that you are trying to install from the repos?07:01
gartralwafflejock: no, recompalation isn't an option07:03
wafflejockgartral: what are you trying to install07:04
gartralwafflejock: nothing it's a self-contained 32-bit app07:04
wafflejockI don't understand why it can't just be recompiled then? is it not open source?07:05
maekjust because I have an /etc/init.d script that does not mean its actually using upstart right?07:05
wafflejock!upstart | maek07:06
ubottumaek: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/07:06
reisiomaek: running, you mean?07:06
maekor upstart features?07:06
maekwafflejock: thanks.07:06
wafflejockSystemV uses /etc/init.d upstart uses /etc/init07:06
gartralwafflejock: it *IS* tecnically opensource, but the code has 32-bit binblobs, and also many functions that are explicit hardcodes07:06
impradeepywafflejock please see this ouptut http://paste.ubuntu.com/6441430/ after line 15707:06
Ben64gartral: the solution is to use multiarch and get whichever libraries you need07:06
maekreisio: im new to ubuntu and I have elasticsearch installing what looks like a traditional sysV init script but its not working. im trying to debug it following upstart docs but I dont see the config file for the job, etc07:06
reisiohow's it not working?07:07
maekwafflejock: oh. so I guess its using sysV07:07
wafflejockimpradeepy: seems it's not possible then07:07
wafflejockmaek: yeah there's a mix right now I believe for backwards compatibility07:07
maekreisio: cant tell. no output. it just says 'started' but then no process and no ouput07:07
reisiomaek: that's not necessarily abnormal07:07
wafflejockmaek: with the plan to move everything to upstart eventually I believe07:07
maekok so its just sysV thne07:07
reisiomaek: mmmm, or it's running and you don't realize it :)07:08
reisiomaek: can you pastebin the init script?07:08
wafflejockmaek: basically SystemV was more linear in it's startup system upstart is based on dependencies and start things in parallel as soon as possible07:08
impradeepywafflejock  no way to install pwm-capable sensor modules?07:08
maekreisio: id be surprised. no port bound, no process etc07:08
reisioI think he cares less about sysv vs upstart and more about his service working07:08
wafflejockimpradeepy: yeah looks like a lack of hardware support for the PWM, it did seem a bit strange07:08
maekreisio: its the output of this https://github.com/elasticsearch/cookbook-elasticsearch/blob/master/templates/default/elasticsearch.init.erb07:09
impradeepywafflejock hp dm4 suckz07:09
wafflejockreisio: yeah just explaining cause I just read up on it and figure it's worth it to know07:09
maekI was expecting like an upstart job like runsvdir07:09
impradeepywafflejock thankuvey much07:09
reisiomaek: so pgrep -l elasticsearch, nothing?07:09
wafflejockimpradeepy: np07:10
maekreisio: correct.07:10
maekno port 9200 either07:10
reisiomaek: and the PIDFILE is not present?07:10
maeklet me check. i think its making the pid but nothing else07:10
=== Adran is now known as Adran2
=== Adran2 is now known as Adran
=== CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob
reisioif the pidfile is there it won't ever start07:11
maekthe start-stop-daemon command is tricky never seen anything like     ES_INCLUDE=$ES_INCLUDE start-stop-daemon --background --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --chuid <%= node[:elasticsearch][:user] %> --exec /usr/local/bin/elasticsearch -- -p $PIDFILE07:11
gpledhaving trouble formating a usb jump drive07:11
maekreisio: oh yeah, I delete it and it re creates07:11
reisiomaek: that said: https://gist.github.com/rbscott/105201507:11
reisioetc.: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22elasticsearch%22%20%22upstart%2207:11
maekreisio: ty will look.07:12
reisioyeah some of that is meant to be preprocessed07:12
reisiothe rest is normal looking for an init script07:12
maekyeah the erb stuff is clear but07:12
maek    ES_INCLUDE=$ES_INCLUDE start-stop-daemon --background --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --chuid <%= node[:elasticsearch][:user] %> --exec /usr/local/bin/elasticsearch -- -p $PIDFILE07:13
maekthat is basically the line that gets ran07:13
reisioyeah07:13
reisioit just says run the executable, and track it with a file07:13
maekand I have no idea how you run start-stop-daemon as an arg to a var setting. thats just blowing my mind trying to figure out what its doing.07:13
reisioit's not an arg to a var setting07:13
ripthejackerIs it recommended to use Ubuntu 13.10 server edition on a production server and then upgrade to 14.04 when it releases, or should I stick to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?07:13
reisioFOO=bar command just means run command with FOO=bar07:13
reisioinstead of, potentially, FOO being equal to what the environment ordinarily has07:14
maekah ok07:14
maekclear07:14
cfhowlettripthejacker, as I understand it, LTS is recommended for server stability so 12.04 to 14.0407:14
maekpath=foo command07:14
Ben64ripthejacker: either at this point, since both are one upgrade from 14.0407:14
reisioso if you have two X's running, for example, :0 and :1, you can say DISPLAY=:1 gedit to run gedit on the second one07:14
reisiomaek: yeah07:14
maekreisio: ok ty.07:14
reisioit's a one-off environmental variable reset07:14
reisioor a one-off variable07:14
reisiodepending07:14
cfhowlettripthejacker, consider: 13.10 has a 9 month lifespan.  Do you REALLY want to install/config a server every 9 months?  especially a production server?07:14
dancatHow can I add a process to start at boot and stop at shutdown by a specific user07:15
ripthejackercfhowlett, Ben64: What are the factors that I have to keep in mind while upgrading, such that the upgradation does not break my existing setup?07:15
gartralBen64: I tried that07:15
eyfourripthejacker: If you can afford downtime and troubleshooting (if necessary) during the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04, and you need the newest features/versions badly, go ahead with 13.10. Otherwise, go 12.04 LTS.07:15
cfhowlettripthejacker, I'm not a server admin and I don't speak that language.  sorry ... see ben64 and eyfour 's comments or ask in #ubuntu-server07:16
Ben64ripthejacker: config files mostly07:16
gartralBen64: http://pastebin.com/LCwjth7U <- list of libs I need http://pastebin.com/7zp67aQX <- what happens when I try to install them07:16
Ben64gartral: ok, so thats not the correct name07:18
gartralripthejacker: your main concern will be your init level changes, make sure to read the changelogs for the version upgrade and pre-patch accordingly07:18
ripthejackerBen64, eyfour: what is the version I setup if I am definitely going to upgrade to 14.04?07:19
gartralripthejacker: 12.04 LTS07:19
cfhowlettripthejacker, you can directly upgrade 12.04 to 14.0407:19
eyfourripthejacker: 12.04 LTS07:19
Ben64yeah, 12.04 gives you much longer to engineer the upgrade07:20
ripthejackerthank you guys :)07:20
ripthejackerhave a nice day07:20
cfhowlettripthejacker, best of luck07:20

ubuntu870hi. I installed empathy-skype but there is no skype on online accounts07:35
reisioubuntu870: I think it might actually require skype to be running07:38
reisiooffering only the convenience of directly using only empathy, etc.07:38
Myrttiubuntu870: even if it would work with Skype running in the background, from what I've heard Microsoft is going to deprecate the API allowing you to use the empathy-skype thing in the near future07:39
reisiowell of course they are07:40
reisiobut that is always the case, with all things microsoft07:40

Ben64pogiako1: raring is not 12.0407:48
pogiako1oh sorry07:49
pogiako1haha i thhought he said raring07:49
Ari-Yangpogiako1: 13.10 is most likely better, but may still have some bugs07:49
djangonoobI have problems with my new notebook. It has amd 8750m and intel 4400 and I tried to install graphic driver but I did something wrong or I used wrong driver or something. Now I can't even shutdown (it restarts automatically)07:49
Ari-Yangpogiako1: tbh I have half a mind to upgrade myself07:49
pogiako1Ari-Yang: yah thought so07:49
wafflejockpogiako1: yeah tried to go up to 13.10 when I was having some minor issues in 13.04 but dropped back to 12.04 cause of video card issues I didn't want to deal with07:49
Ben64pogiako1: you'll need to upgrade before january or you lose support07:50
pogiako1lol07:50
pogiako1then where do you go from there?07:50
Ari-Yangpogiako1: tbh if you're on 13.04, you might as well upgrade to 13.1007:50
pogiako1should i fresh install 12.04?07:50
cfhowlettpogiako1, LTS only.07:50
Ari-Yangpogiako1: if you want lts, sure07:50
wafflejockcan just say make sure you back up your stuff.... I had everything backed up but wish I had just cloned with clonezilla/dd since restoration was still a bit of a pain07:50
Ari-Yang(lts = long term support)07:50
Ari-Yangpogiako1: though, 12.04 is most likely packaged with old and stale software, hop on to 13.10 for latest stuff07:51
pogiako1what's the usual problem with it?07:51
pogiako1and what's the ideal way to hop on to it?07:51
difoIs running ubuntu 12.04 virtual machine on a mac a lost cause?07:51

reisiodifo: the default 'Ubuntu' desktop environment uses what is meant to be a hardware accelerated window manager07:55
difoyeah, that seems to be the consensus.. asking you guys was my last resort07:55
reisioso it could give that appearance, under many circumstances07:55
Ben64easy solution is to not use unity07:55
reisiouse another DE or window manager and it'll appear normal speed07:55
reisioyes indeed07:55
difoalright, thanks07:56
ak5any ideas for the local precise 64 repository>?07:56
reisioor if you want the authentic _appearance_ without the lag, try unity-2d07:56
pogiako1from 13.04, 13.10 fresh install or 13.10 upgrade?07:56

reisiomy guess is they're getting worse over time, but people could also just be complaining more08:02
Ari-Yangpogiako1: if you're going to do a fresh install anyway and want latest software packaged already, might as well go for 13.10... tinker with it, if you realize that it is too buggy, do a fresh install of 12.0408:03
djangonoobcan someone help me installing right graphics driver for my new notebook. I botched something and now I have problems like restarting instead of shutdown/standby08:03
* reisio headdesks08:03

UrielVigilantfrom now on i will sitwch off the wireless hardware from software and not from hardware, maybe this should avoid this problem doesn it ?09:46
cfhowlettUrielVigilant, you'll like this: After almost 4 years of owning a dual booting win7/ubuntu equipped DELL, I accidentally hit Alt F7 instead of Fn F7.  Wifi came on instantly.  try the ctrl/alt/fn/super key alternatives before your reboot to windows or rfkill09:49
djangonoobI don't know how it is implemented but if you have an software problem and the hardware button invokes the same function as if you switch with software...09:49
UrielVigilantcfhowlett: i only have Lubuntu 13.10 on my laptop. This is jobcomputer, no Linux here . In my Laptop i only have Lubuntu not dual  booting .Do you think it will work anyway ?09:50
UrielVigilantdjangonoob: that incidence happens after a hibernate session and the turning on laptop.09:52
cfhowlettUrielVigilant, dual boot doesn't matter other than the fact that the Windows 7 wifi keypress was F7.  I've no idea what the default keypress is on your computer, but try the alternatives I suggested.09:53

cfhowlettcowbacon, true, true.  I've a personal bias.  Too many people scream !reinstall just like they scream !bug whenever anything little thing takes more than 15 seconds of googling to repair09:57
cowbaconcfhowlett: completly true. if users learn how to fix problems themself the community as a whole would benefit greatly. however, many aren't interested in tinkering with their system and just want something that works, and a reinstall is the easiest path then09:59

cfhowlettfahadash, I'm not a developer but ... take a look at the ubuuntu Sputnik version (Dell).  You can add any of those packages to vanilla ubuntu10:25
cfhowlettUrielVigilant, they should be pretty similar.  to try it though: sudo apt-get install lxde.  Logout.  choose lxde session.  login.  You10:25
cfhowlettUrielVigilant, you'll get the lubuntu experience but not the apps  and integration.  If you like it, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop10:26

aslanOerHeks, could you suggest me some other privilege escalation in 12.0 or further release11:02
DJonesufk: Precise is LTS so by default only shows LTS->LTS updates, Saucy isn't LTS so there isn't a direct upgrade path to that11:02
Ben64ufk: firstly, new versions of debian would never show up, since ubuntu is not debian. secondly, you should wait for 14.04 and upgrade directly to that11:03

ak5wilee-nilee: um... what?11:10
ak5wilee-nilee: I am asking about architectures11:10
wilee-nileeak5, If you have a 64 bit install all packeges that are 64 bit you will get anyway, however some are only 3s bit.11:10
wilee-nilee32*11:10
hamsterAnden: fixed it11:10
ak5wilee-nilee: where is the arch specified?11:11
Andenhamster: great :D11:11
Ben64ak5: by what architecture you installed11:11
wilee-nileeak5, Its multiarch you get whats available.11:11
hamsterThanks for your help buddy11:11
ak5wilee-nilee: i specifically do not want multi-arch11:11
wilee-nileeak5, why?11:11
Ben64ak5: then do not install any 32 bit stuff, its not complicated11:12
ak5wilee-nilee: trying to save on bandwidth on apt-get update11:12
ak5wilee-nilee: live in china, don't care about 32bit bins11:12
wilee-nileeak5, Do you want say firefox?11:12
ak5sure11:12
ActionParsnipwilee-nilee: your OS is multi-arch, you will just haul in a tonne of 32bit packages as edeps. This is  how you get Skype in 64bit Ubuntu11:13
wilee-nileeak5, only 32 bit in the repos.11:13
wilee-nileeActionParsnip, true, I am just wondering if the user has a dream or has any understanding is all.11:13
gordonjcpI wonder why people are so keen on Skype?11:14
Ben64wilee-nilee: firefox is 64 bit, don't know why you think its 32 only11:14
ak5my question is really only can I add deb-amd64 instead of deb as a prefix for those mirror lines11:14
ActionParsnipgordonjcp: possibly because its on everything etc, no idea otherwise11:14
wilee-nileeBen64, In the ubuntu repos?11:14
ak5and how will that effect my system11:14
Ben64ak5: you're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist11:15
Ben64wilee-nilee: indeed11:15
gordonjcpActionParsnip: hm11:15
gordonjcpActionParsnip: I guess I don't really understand the use case11:15
wilee-nileeBen64, Not that I know of check that.11:15
ActionParsnipak5: if that works, you will pull in 32bit debs of the packages you install in 32bit. Could get large if you install many11:15
ak5Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com precise/main i386 Packages11:16
ActionParsnipgordonjcp: I think its the one that got big, like Ubuntu. Many distributions do what Ubuntu dos but Ubuntu is the one that seems more visible11:16
ak5I get very many i386 lines when I apt-get update11:16
Ben64ak5: and?11:16
ak5Ben64: this is what I am trying to solve. Problem exists11:17
Ben64thats not a problem11:17
ak5It is if you are in China and it is sucking up your already seriously shitty bandwidth and apt-get update takes 10 mins11:17
Ben64watch the language here11:18
ak5Sure, stop the assumptions too please11:18
ordicollegefacebook11:18
ActionParsnipak5: apt-fast will download from multiple sources and can help speed things up11:18
ak5ActionParsnip: I'll check that out, but I am mainly using ansible for provisioning11:18
ikoniait will only speed things up if the problem is downstream from the source, not th ehost11:18
ak5ActionParsnip: is there a nice way to make a mirror only with precise64 packages?11:19
ordicollegemode passe11:19
Ben64about 2.5MB for apt-get update on 12.0411:19
gordonjcpak5: if you want 32-bit apps, install 32-bit Ubuntu11:19
ak5omg11:19
ak5gordonjcp: learn english please, I never said anything like that11:19
sabgentonanyone recommend good  click on tree to merge/rebase   git gui for ubuntu?11:19
cfhowlettak5, have you configured your mirrors to use the China servers, not the default11:20
ak5cfhowlett: yes11:20
gordonjcpak5: you want to install Skype, right?  Which is a 32-bit app.11:20
ak5gordonjcp: no I do not11:20
ak5cfhowlett: the chinese mirrors are unreliable, and key errors are scaring me11:20
ak5so I am using HK mirror11:20
ActionParsnipak5: what are you wanting to install that is 32bit?11:20
gordonjcpak5: so what *are* you trying to install?11:21
ak5ActionParsnip: absolutely nothing. I want to get my system not to check 32bit repos11:21

gordonjcpslaw45: if you want to make sure you get rid of all your data, dban11:35
ActionParsnipslaw45: just let the default installer do its job. Easys11:36
slaw45Thx Guys11:37
gordonjcpslaw45: when disk encryption loses your data there's still the theoretical possibility that someone might be able to recover fragments of it11:37
gordonjcpslaw45: better to just dban the drive, or if you really want to be sure, smash it flat with a big hammer11:37
cfhowlettslaw45, nuke it from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.11:37

amageeI just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 from 13.04 (xubuntu) and it's mostly fine except that when I hit "log out" from the start menu thingy, the system just hangs instead of bringing up the shut down / reboot / standby / hibernate popup. One time I did this and came back about 30 minutes later and the popup had appeare and worked properly. Running commands like pm-suspend from the command line works fine. Any ideas?12:36

AnaxandridasHello, everyone. I have an old guy who asked me to write a DVD for him, of one of my movies. This isn't something I've ever done (because I'm not over 50 years old). Every time I try to write the movie directly onto the disc, it tells me there's not enough space (which is odd, there's 4 GB of space on the DVD). I've tried using Brasero to make an image file, but it gets to 2 MB and just stops, sits there for hours. Tried using12:43
Anaxandridas K3b, but it needs me to have TS Video and TS Audio folders, which I do not. Tried a couple others, which didn't work for varying reasons. Can someone please inform me of how to go about using this ancient technology known as DVD writing?12:43

Pac-manhello fellas! ;d12:48
BluesKajis this a commercial ly abailable movie , Anaxandridas , if so it might be DRM protected , and you'll need libdvdcss2 from videolan,org to bypass the DRM12:48
Pac-manam I in the right corner for discussing ubuntu?12:48
zykotick9Anaxandridas: 1) dvd's are made to prevent easy copying 2) commercial DVDs are almost always larger in size then 4GB (which typically means you need to re-encode the video to make it fit)  3) i don't have an easy suggestion on how to copy it - but perhaps someone else does...  best of luck!12:48
Guest38018so, I want to start up 2 browsers in 2 different screens directly when I boot up12:48
AnaxandridasIt's not a DRM issue. It's an 'I've never had a reason in my life to do this, and I rather suck at it' issue.12:49
amageeGuest38018: that seems to be a different question from just setting up multiple screens.. have you got the multiple screens working how you want?12:49

cfhowlettPac-man, greetings.12:49
usr13zykotick9:  You can use mplayer to convert a DVD to just a video file, (that's one way).12:49
AnaxandridasAllow me to specify though, because you both had the exact same response. I'm not burning a DVD. I'm writing one. If I were burning a DVD, that would take me three minutes, two and a half of which would be petting my cat as it walked across the keyboard.12:50
BluesKajAnaxandridas. check out the size of the movie to make sure it fits on the disk12:50
zykotick9usr13: while true, that doesn't get it back onto a dvd...12:50
Anaxandridas... If this were a matter of me being unable to tell whether something is 700 MB, or 7 GB, BluesKaj, the answer would probably be to shoot myself in the face.12:50

BluesKajzykotick9. don't think that law's been passed yet , it's still on the back burner afaik12:57

=== ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube
amageeGuest38018: yeah i'm not really sure, you'd have to find a way tell firefox where to be via the command line, then put those commands in your startup scripts12:58
BluesKajAnaxandridas. why not just put it on a usb stick and let your friend copy it o the hdd and use vlc to play it back12:58
AnaxandridasWell, I just took a look at k9copy, it seems to need an image file to work with. Which is fine, but Brasero, the program I've been trying to use to make image files, has not worked. Can someone recommend a program to make an ISO/Cue?12:58
AnaxandridasBluesKaj, because the guy's in his 70s. He's one of those types who doesn't even own a computer :/12:59
BluesKajzykotick9.  Canada here too :)12:59
zykotick9BluesKaj: ;) ya i remember from #ubuntu-ca12:59
BluesKajheh , Anaxandridas I'm 70 :)12:59
BluesKajzykotick9. do you still chat there ?13:00
zykotick9nope...13:00
usr13Anaxandridas: But converting to file and then back into DVD format is a long way around to just make a duplicate DVD.  If the DVD manufacturer decides that you should not have a backup copy, you probably shouldn't do it, just protect the one you have.13:00
AnaxandridasBluesKaj, I tried explaining to him that doing this is kind of like taking a CD and putting it on an audiocassette. I don't think I've written to, or ripped from, a DVD in at least six years. And, like I said... He's a septuagenarian who doesn't even own a computer.13:00
BluesKajnods13:00
BluesKajAnaxandridas. bummer13:01
Anaxandridasusr13, though I really appreciate the continued help, I have stated many times that I am not ripping from a DVD. I am trying to write TO one. I have no DVD, I'm trying to make one.13:01
BluesKajAnaxandridas. it still might be protected thjo13:01
AnaxandridasIn this case, none of the ones I am working with are.13:02
usr13Anaxandridas: Sorry, I didn't know. SO... you have a video file?  And you want to convert to DVD and burn to a DVD disk?13:02
usr13Anaxandridas: Is that it?13:02
Pac-mancfhowlett: hello there, sorry was lost in 80's ;]13:02
Pac-manI changed autostart file, put cairo-dock there, below xcompmgr with "-n^" option and it doesnt work, but when I do it manually, that is xcompmgr by console it works great and black border around cairo-dock is gone? Do I something wrong?13:03
Anaxandridasusr13, yes, in whatever manner I can. I have multiple different file options, avi, mp4, mkv, whatever works. I just need to figure out how to make a DVD from it. I haven't done this in many, many years. I've tried making an image, but Brasero isn't cooperating there. None of the others seem to functionally do it without an Image file.13:03
Anaxandridasusr13, I'm continuing to cycle through varying programs. For one reason or another, none of them have worked out for me, though I'm sure to a large extent that's because I'm new to Linux.13:04
zykotick9Anaxandridas: check out devede <- only way I've personally made a functional DVD from a video file13:04
Pac-mananyone?13:05
AnaxandridasThanks zykotick9, I'll try that one.13:05
Pac-manoo13:05
usr13Anaxandridas: I think there is an app for this, (GUI app), but don't know what it is, the name or what ever, but you can do it from the command line with dvdauthor.  Once you have right video format, it is doable with dvdauthor.  See:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6442667/13:05
ultiwareAny idea why the libgnutls version shipping with Ubuntu is (very) outdated ?13:06

amageehow to do it for two separate firefox windows i'll leave up to you because i don't know :P13:08
Guest38018What im doing now is setting different profile for firefox, is it possible?13:08
amageehmm possibly, i'm not sure if a profile will do what you want13:08
usr13Anaxandridas: (you skip line 6 unless the mkisofs command errors out)13:09
Guest38018how to use xdotool?13:09
amageeGuest38018: i have no experience with it, i just found it doing a search a few minutes ago and looked at the man page13:09
Guest38018can you send me the link?13:10
amageehttp://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/13:10
usr13Anaxandridas: And you can skip lines 6-9 and skip to line 10 to burn to DVD disk.13:10
amageethat may not be terribly useful to you.. to install it, just run: sudo apt-get install xdotool13:10
amageethen: man xdotool13:11
BluesKajAnaxandridas. also if you get a speed error use speed =1 or 213:11
Guest38018Ok i will look for it first13:11
usr13Anaxandridas: Otherwise, use k3b or what ever your favorite burning sofrware is.13:11

usr13Anaxandridas: And of course, the file names are hypothetical so you can better understand the process.  You can certainly use those file names though, (you'll end up deleting the files anyway, so...).13:15
amageePac-man: sorry I don't know anything about xcompmgr, hopefully someone else can help13:15
usr13Pac-man: I know console, I had coffee with him this morning.13:16

Pac-manhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6442705/13:18
Pac-manI'm not sure what DE, but what I know, is that I have found autostart file and changed its contents, deleted all unnecessary files too, and the black border is still there, cause I dont like fake transparency for cairo13:19
Pac-manwhen I launch after logging and cairo-dock is loaded too -> xcompmgr -n& it works, but in autostart not anymore, thats weird I think13:20
zykotick9Pac-man: are you using Mint?13:21

IceCrafthi15:07
IceCrafti have a little problem. It looks like ubuntu blocks port 994. I can use ports like 6667 etc for my ircd but 944 won't work15:08
CapaHI have several servers behind a firewall, and I want to configure them to send emails through an internet facing server. Generally speaking, would I do this with Postfix, or what is the cleanest/most painless way to do this? Basically I want to configure one internet facing server to serve as the mail-server for a network of other servers which do not have internet connectivity.15:08
IceCraftalso checked with netstat. no program uses the port15:08
wsnipexwhy do you think the port is blocked?15:08
IceCraftThe error is: Can't bind to 994 Permission denied15:08
wsnipexports <1024 are priviledged ports15:09
RoryIceCraft: Ports below 1024 need root access to bind to15:09
IceCraftaah15:09
wsnipexthey need root to bind to15:09
wsnipexunless you use some trickery15:09
IceCraftis there any way to bypass that?15:09
IceCraftah15:09

RoryIceCraft: i'd recommend just using a port higher than 1024, if that is the easiest way for you15:09
IceCrafthmm15:09
wsnipexbeware, start as root doesn't mean RUN as root15:10
IceCraftah15:10
wsnipexyou should never do that15:10
IceCrafthow do you mean that?15:10
wsnipexa proper server software uses priviledge separation15:10

IceCraftokay, so removing the separation is one possibility15:18
wsnipexIceCraft, nope15:19
IceCraftwhy not15:19
wsnipex1. it would be inherently insecure15:20
wsnipex2. there is no need15:20
IceCraftah15:20
tePici: Well, not all, but most do.15:20
IceCraftokay, so the iptables redirect will do it. Thanks alot15:20
wsnipexand you didn't answer why you don't run your ircd on a port > 102415:20
tePici: ftpd httpd cups etc...15:21
wsnipex6000-8000 is the usual range15:21

ScrewbaI created an Upstart script which waits for my interface to be up and running and then a script kicks off to rename and configure the machine, I use the host or dig command to pull SRV records from DNS but it appears that it is not getting any SRV records.  What is the DNS daemon or DNS utilities which need to load so I can use the host or dig command?16:49
sandman13got it16:49
BarackObama_313Very specialized question there Screwba.16:50
BarackObama_313I suggest a forum post.16:50
daftykinsScrewba: package 'dnsutils' ?16:50
ScrewbaBarackObama_313: mainly, I need to know 'what' service/daemon controls the DNS lookup functions16:51
RoryScrewba: When you run that part of your upstart script manually in a terminal, does it return the results you expect?16:51
BarackObama_313Do you have an ubuntu book? Refer to the index.16:51
ScrewbaI see that mDNS or something like that is started prior to my script running but seems like I can not do DNS queries using host or dig during boot up16:52
ScrewbaRory:  If I run the script after the machine boots up, yes, everything works perfectly and it completes fine16:52

ixio2hey guys I need to create an SMTP server to sit out on the internet to act as a SMTP relay for several customers, thing like scanning machines, printers, monitoring devices. I will restrict it by source IP address rather than SMTP auth etc as some of the more rudimentary systems out there that need to send emails dont support TLS or SMTP auth. What's the simplest SMTP server to configure,17:17
ixio2perhaps even with a webui? I have an ubuntu server running in Azure I wish to use for this17:17

ses1984i have had this problem with lots of systems using older integrated graphics, and i don't know what the root of the problem is:17:25

MonkeyDustMace268  rsync is fast17:26
moppyMace268, Ubuntu has a built in backup client. Just remember. If you dont test your restore, you don't have a backup17:27
Mace268i can't get the built-in to backup /var and /etc though17:27
MonkeyDustMace268  you can use rsync for that17:28
moppyMace268, There is bakula, and rsync. Bakula is automated and easy to configure17:28

moppyMace268, Is your data encrypted?17:30
Mace268no17:30

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".

wilee-nileeki4ro, I linked the rhythmbox open to the mp3's music file on board it that works, I did do as OerHeks suggests beforehand and turned on the mtp, not sure if that made a difference I had not tried this path before.18:28
ki4rowilee-nilee, Is that an option in rhythmbox?18:29
wilee-nileeki4ro, edit-preferences-music-browse18:30

disparaissantokay so i'm trying to use gdebi to install nv and it gives me the error "this package is uninstallable. dependency is not satisfiable: xorg-video-abi-6.0" any clue anyone?18:32

wilee-nileedisparaissant, says your missing a package right?18:32
disparaissantyeah i can't find that package ~anywhere~18:32
disparaissanti could just be stupid tho18:32
wilee-nileedisparaissant, I generally look for a deb on the web to start with.18:33
sergiobenrocha2femian: 10.04 is no longer supported... in desktop18:33
MrHacksJust wehen I was about to log out of this shell that I left open overnight, ki4ro says the magic word and the duck comes out18:33

disparaissantwell it's a new install so let's see how bad i can screw it up by uninstalling xorg-core and reinstalling an older version! should be fun.18:37
wilee-nileedisparaissant, I see it in debian as a download, I am not familiar with nv though, using straight debian is not generally advised, and you have addressed the age already.18:37
MrHacksSpeaking of Wifi, I've noticed they past couple of times that when I boot up Ubuntu posts a system error prompt. Something about /sbin/wpa_suplicant. dmesg says something about a SIGSEGV error.  Hopefully this isn't a serious problem considering I use WiFi18:37
zzecoolbut i want to have multiarch support because the re is a conflict with ia32libs18:37

yash069Anuska: what u want to do ?18:52
MonkeyDustAnuska  why are rpm's so important to you?18:52
k1l_Anuska: you know that rpm stands for redhat package manager. this is the fedora/redhat system. ubuntu uses .deb which is comming from debian.18:53
yash069pico is old name for nano text editor18:53

Anuskayes but i try to install rpm18:53
k1l_Anuska: you should look out for .deb packages if you want to use them with ubuntu18:53
Anuskato learn rpm -ivh , rpm -V , etc18:53
yash069k1l_: RPM Package Manager !!18:53
k1l_Anuska: yes, but this is wrong.18:53
Anuskaoki18:53
Anuskathanks18:53
MonkeyDustAnuska  why? maybe there's a solution that's not alien to ubuntu18:53
Anuskai will install mandriva to learn rpm18:54
k1l_Anuska: ubuntu works with another packages system. its .deb based and not .rpm based like on that other distributions18:54
Anuskai know18:54
Anuskabut if i have a rpm i build a .deb pkg in ubuntu18:54
MonkeyDustAnuska  are you a troll?18:55

reisioP1ro: to GNU/Linux, a drive is a drive18:55

karab44by meaning of desktops I mean all virtual desktops on my system19:02
reisiokarab44: you'd have to figure out what's controlling those, historically in GNOME it was nautilus19:03
reisiokarab44: that'd still be my first guess with Unity19:03
reisiokarab44: as for the manipulation, use imagemagick's convert/mogrify commands19:03

karab44I don't want to have different wallpapers for each desktop I told you. I think more like about active desktop19:07
ses1984is there something like an ubuntu enterprise flavor that doesn't come with amazon integration, hard coded bookmarks to photo, music and video files in nautilus, etc?19:07
yash069live wallpaper ?19:07
airtonixkarab44: you mean like having a web page as your background?19:07
karab44for example imagine that desktop is a desk where you want to place photos everywhere on it19:08
anternatis bash scripting C++? another language? what exactly is it?19:08
ikoniases1984: the desktop is enterprise ready, it's up to you to build an image specific ot your enterprise19:08
ApteryxHi everyone! Could anyone comment on the state of Moonlight? Is the project dead? What is the way to get the latest version running on Ubuntu 13.10?19:08
ses1984bash is a language19:08
ses1984ikonia: you have to recompile nautilus from source to remove the links to photo, music and video files19:08
karab44then you could easily move it and scale it and manage interactively through desktops.19:08
ses1984that's enterprise ready?19:08
anternatty ses198419:08
airtonixses1984: brotip: install gnome-shell and gdm, dpkg-reconfigure lightdm, choose gdm. never deal with amazon integration again :)19:08
ikoniases1984: no you don't,19:08
ikoniases1984: you build a pressed image,19:08
ses1984that's what a ton of sources have told me19:08
ikoniases1984: then I suggest getting a grip on things before coming in all "smart"19:09
ikoniases1984: pretty much every desktop on linux will have bookmarks etc in place by default19:09
ses1984yeah but in old versions of nautilus you could just right click remove, now remove is disabled19:09
ikoniases1984: remove what ?19:10
yash069karab44: one way is to have conky ... but it will be to much work to do ...19:10
karab44I just wanted to printscreen but it stopped woriking...19:10
P1roikonia thank you :D19:10
ses1984on the top left of nautilus, in the places section, there's a list of folders that are in home holder, like Desktop, Documents, Music, Photos, Video, etc19:10
airtonixses1984: have you looked into xdg-desktop spec?19:10
karab44yash069: could I using conkey throw pictures on the desktop?19:10
P1roikonia ill try that,19:10
ses1984airtonix: no, checking that now19:11
airtonixkarab44: yes, if you used a lua module.19:11
yash069not sure but i think so ...19:11
karab44well we have two different opinions. OK guys let me check that :)19:11
airtonixses1984: from memory, there's a file in your home folder that specifies where they point to by default. not sure if removing or setting blank variables removes them19:11
=== busy_eliasps is now known as eliasps

ses1984i guess i should go through my history and try to leave comments on all of these sources that claimed removing those items from the places sections required a change of source and recompile19:15
ikoniases1984: no, as they are correct if you are asking the question you are asking19:15
ikoniases1984: if you want this by "default" then it is a compile option, if want this dynamic/changed from default compile options it's a configuration19:16
ses1984the questions asked were usually like this "how can i remove video from the places menu" and the answer "change source and recompile" ... that smells wrong to me19:17
andrytest19:17
ikoniases1984: it depends how you look at it, it's not technically wrong, but it is wrong for the question you asked, but the way you asked it was not also correct19:17
ses1984even if you want it 'default' it seems like it would be much easier to keep using the nautilus packages in the repos19:17
IEatTwixI can't turn wlan off, I get a "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted".. Any idea what might cause it?19:18
ses1984sorry if i came in here with a less than friendly tone. i've had a bad morning. thanks for help everyone.19:19
airtonixses1984: personally i feel it would be great if the gnome team approached all functionality of their apps as addon/plugin architecutre and just dogfooded  their own efforts. this would make releasing the kind of tools you want more practical.19:19

wilee-nilees/so/do19:53
wilee-nileermobenchain, Then use this with your description here of the details of the problems your having, include the graphic hardware info as well.19:55
rmobenchainwilee-niles:  quite honestly, it all started when i installed a vlc player.  can i just remove that and see what happens?19:56
ludwiqyo19:57
wilee-nileermobenchain, sure, you can run purge to get it all or just remove, I'm surprised vlc is a problem though.19:57
rmobenchainwilee-niles:  I have my history up in the terminal, you want me to cut and paste line by line what i have?19:58
wilee-nileermobenchain, you would want to use a pastebin if more than one line, and link these installs with the problems basically, organized is the key word. Do you need the apt-get for removing vlc?19:59
rmobenchainwilee niles: please.  that would be great :)19:59
wilee-nileermobenchain, sudo apt-get purge vlc  that should remove all of it and the config if you used remove rather than purge the config would remian.20:00

cablese habla español?20:03
rmobenchainwilee-nilee: I appreciate it.  does that sudo apt purge work on something like: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade20:03
wilee-nileermobenchain, That is all apt-get those are for calling the repos (update) installing (upgrade) remove and purge are what the phonetically sound like.20:04

ubotturmobenchain: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)20:05
rmobenchainhuh?  what?20:06
wilee-nileermobenchain, Not correct upgrade is used to install what update found, you would already have the latest flashplugin-installer, however some packages have newer versions per the release, flash is the same for all.20:07
rmobenchainwilee-niles: hmmm... this is just agitating now.  youtube is all sorts of choppy and i know i must have done something20:08
wilee-nileermobenchain, Flash is easiest installed with installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras which includes other codecs and the ms fonts if you want them.20:08
wilee-nileermobenchain, Are you trying to use the highest like 1080 resolution perchance on youtube?20:09

rmobenchainwilee-nilee: no.  am on 480p20:10
wilee-nileermobenchain, What is your chip IE cpu and the ram amount?20:11
rmobenchainwilee-nilee: uh, where would i find that?20:12
wilee-nileermobenchain, Not the clearest question, mainly I'm trying to see if the hardware is up for the high load of what your doing, and or in the end check if anything is using up resources that should not.20:13

rmobenchainHP Pavilion Slimline s3220n20:14
wilee-nileermobenchain, An okay computer about 5 years old 2 gig s ram and a dual core, Are you using any other resources when trying youtube, and is this 64 or 32 bit?20:16
rmobenchainwilee-nilee: am on a 32bit and only have facebook open in another tab20:17
rmobenchainwilee-nilee: am also using Chrome.20:17
wilee-nileermobenchain, Facebook is a very large code draw, try closing it the using youtube.20:17

Atluxityany of you use gnome shell and got any tips you want to share with me? extentions or simular20:19
wilee-nileermobenchain, You should install htop, and run htop from the terminal and it will tell you what is using what and how much such ans the cpu=chip and memory=ram. A conky would help to see this right on the desktop.20:19

rmobenchaintrism: Am using Chrome Version 31.0.1650.5720:21
trismrmobenchain: yeah that's not the version of the dev channel, it is chrome 3320:22
trismrmobenchain: so not the issue I mentioned, sorry20:22
wilee-nileermobenchain, Chrome also has its own built in flash, just a heads up.20:22
rmobenchainwilee-niles: how would I install the htop?20:22

geirhasmoores: As for the read+write permissions, that can be solved by telling the developers to use 007 or 002 as umask; otherwise, you can enforce it by enabling acl on the filesystem, and setting the wanted default permission bits with setfacl22:27

wilee-nileeOttOmanTR, Anyway this is mint take it to their channel.23:22
OttOmanTRwilee-nilee: agree, I don't know linux well. I'm just wondering that why there is no tool like acronis for windows. No matter what you do to harddisk, acronis restores every damn thing23:23
OttOmanTRunder linux there are tons of backup tools but none of them auto-restoring grub23:24
wilee-nileeOttOmanTR, You are used to a specific tool acronis which is a nice tool, however the linux tools are just as good you just have to understand their use.23:24
bekksOttOmanTR: Out there, there is no single application autorestoring your bootloader in case it detects it is broken.23:24
wilee-nileeOttOmanTR, auto restoring grub is meaningless, acronis does not save the mbr you have to reload it.23:25
wilee-nileeOttOmanTR, grub is in two places the OS and the boot loader is in the mbr.23:26
OttOmanTRwilee-nilee: acronis for windows does my be only for windows installed harddisks that doesn't have grub installed.23:27
wilee-nileewindows is the same but a different boot system23:27
bekksOttOmanTR: Acronis for Windows does not reinstall the Windows bootloader.23:27
wilee-nileeright there is no linux acronis23:27
OttOmanTRbekks: I'm using it now and I restored a low level formatted harddisk23:28
bekksOttOmanTR: I havent seen a low level fornatted disk for about a two decades now.23:29
OttOmanTReven it restores harddisk serial number, I have no idea how23:29
wilee-nileeand that means what exactly OttOmanTR23:29
OttOmanTRbekks: I mean deleted everyting, partitions, everything23:30
bekksOttOmanTR: And restoring the disk content like filesystems is different from restoring a broken bootloader. The first is what Acronis does, the second cannot be done or even detected by Acronis.23:30
OttOmanTRbekks: Again, I'm not familiar with linux like you do, just suggest me a good backup/restore tool23:31
bunduruoh my bad missed the "From a terminal change to user root and:" part23:31
OttOmanTRlive CD is better23:31

wilee-nileeOttOmanTR, If you are not understanding what we tell you, address that, rather than argue points that mean nothing, we know this stuff.23:31
wilee-nileewe would like to see you succeed23:32
OttOmanTRwilee-nilee: I have copy-protected commercial program. When you copy the program, the program stops. I copied that program's partition to a new harddisk. It worked but Windows warned me that there are two harddisk have the same serial number23:34

wilee-nileeOttOmanTR, this is ubuntu support.23:35
OttOmanTRwilee-nilee: you don't have to be mean, I just answered to you answer23:36
bekksOttOmanTR: As I said, Acronis cant clone a hwardware serial number. And as wilee-nilee said, this is Ubuntu support.23:36
wilee-nileeOttOmanTR, That is way off topic, we have just been trying to help you understand the mbr and grub , the use of acronis and linux /backup/cloning.23:36
abaddonOttOmanTR: wilee-nilee is not being mean. This is Ubu support bro. Not windows support23:36

pngl_Can Ubuntu properly manage multiple batteries? On my laptop it shows them both, with the correct charge level, but sleeps as soon as the 1st one dies. I'm using 13.10 and a sony vaio pro 13 with an additional "sheet" battery.23:37
bekkspngl_: Ubuntu doesnt manage batteries at all. It is your charger which is responsible for doing so.23:38
Boneheads1999I need help23:38
wilee-nileeBoneheads1999, tell the chanel you problems.23:38
abaddonBoneheads1999: Sup?23:38
Duel-TravisDoes utorrent work on Ubuntu?23:38
pngl_bekks: Not sure I understand. By charger you mean the power cord or some software?23:39
wilee-nilee!info utorrent23:39
ubottuPackage utorrent does not exist in saucy23:39
abaddonDuel-Travis: Ubu uses Transmission. But you can get Utorrent23:39
wilee-nilee!find utorrent23:39
ubottuFile utorrent found in whatweb23:39
Boneheads1999I'm trying to make an Ubuntu One account.  When I enter the verification code, it asks me to unlock the 'Default' keyring.  I have no idea what the password for that keyring is.23:39
bekkspngl_: The power supply and that bit of electronics responsible for detecting the battery and the charge level. Your battery has some electronics too, for the same reason.23:39
Duel-Traviswell nvrm. Booting on windows23:40
abaddonBoneheads1999: Did you use your paswd?23:40
Duel-Travisabaddon, How can I get urottent?23:40
Boneheads1999abaddon yes I tried to but it said that was incorrect.23:40
Sh1G3rUDuel-Travis,  if you want a good client and utorrent like for ubuntu go for qbittorrent23:40
abaddonGoogle it, there is a version out there Duel-Travis23:41
bekkspngl_: And if the second battery is "dead", then there is no way to change that. It may even apply that your laptop is incapable of charging the second battery, while it is "alive" and just "empty".23:41
wilee-nileeDuel-Travis, technically not supported as a 3rd party, however. http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-utorrent-on-ubuntu-debian/23:41
BrianHAnyone do any IDS testing with pytbull?  I need some assistance in setting up a virt lab.23:41
abaddonBoneheads1999: Did you give root a diffrent passwd?23:41
Duel-Travisbittorrent client dl?23:41
Sh1G3rUDuel-Travis, it is in the repositories otherwise you have to go to the utorrent site and download their linux installer23:41
Boneheads1999abaddon not sure I understand23:41
abaddonBoneheads1999: I mean, did you set a seperate passwed for root and a different passwd for your user account?23:42
Boneheads1999abaddon oh.  Well I don't think I ever set a pswd for root..23:42
pngl_bekks: Sorry I wasn't accurate. Both batteries work well. Under Windows 8, everything is fine: when one battery goes empty, the other is used. Under Ubuntu, the information is accurately displayed, but when battery 1 is almost empty, Ubuntu tells me something like "Your battery is almost empty, going into sleep", and then does just that.23:42
=== Laser is now known as Guest9424
abaddonBoneheads1999: Usually, to access root one uses ones user passwd. But if you set up root with a diff paswd you'ld use that23:43
bekkspngl_: Ah, so its just the power management of Ubuntu then.23:43
pngl_bekks: Yes. I'm open to any idea as to how to fix this.23:43
Boneheads1999abaddon yeah I just use my user passwd23:43
Boneheads1999abaddon for root23:43
Duel-Travisso23:43
bekkspngl_: I'm sorry, no.23:43
Duel-Traviswould i get the 13.04? im on 13.1023:43
abaddonBoneheads1999: Hmmm...I'm outta ideas. you could type sudo passwd which will set a seperate passwd for root but I don't think/know if that'll work.23:44
abaddonDuel-Travis: You asking me?23:44
icerootabaddon: Boneheads1999 please dont enable the root-account, its not needed and not supported, you can do everything with sudo command instead of switiching to the root-shell23:44
Duel-Travisyea?23:44
fahadashHow do I update gcc compiler ?23:45
Boneheads1999iceroot ok23:45
abaddoniceroot: Boneheads1999 Which is why I said I didn't think it would work. Nor the best option23:45
Sh1G3rUBoneheads1999, just run this sudo su, then passwd23:46
abaddonDuel-Travis: Ahh, OK, please in the future type my name or the users name. It helps us know who you are addressing your question to. As for the torrent client, why not try out a different cient?23:46
abaddonDuel-Travis: Also, can you send me the link to check it out?23:47
Duel-Travisabaddon, i like utorrent?23:47
bekksSh1G3rU: Dont run sudo su, since sudo passwd root is sufficient to set a root password and disqialify your from further support most likely.23:47
Duel-Travisabaddon, http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux23:47
abaddonDuel-Travis: XD OK, let me look at it23:47
Duel-Travisok23:48
Boneheads1999Sh1G3rU abaddon iceroot ok, I tried doing both those things.  It asked me to change the UNIX passwd so I changed it to what my user passwd is.  Then when it asked me for the keyring again, I typed the passwd that I set the UNIX passwd to.  It still says incorrect unlock key.23:48
icerootSh1G3rU: sudo su is always wring, because its calling a root-shell with a pseydo root-shell (sudo)23:48
Sh1G3rUbekks you are right , but it works too so donw disqualify me23:48
bekksBoneheads1999: BEcause setting a root password is not even supposed to unlock your users keyring.23:48
icerootSh1G3rU: it does not matter if it works for that case23:49
bekksSh1G3rU: It doesnt work for the problem offered.23:49
unicornjedi##networking23:49
abaddonDuel-Travis: What's your sys version?23:49
icerootSh1G3rU: there are other cases were sudo su will fail and we dont want something like that in this channel23:49
Duel-TravisUbuntu 13.1023:49
Boneheads1999bekks ok so do you know how to unlock my keyring?23:49
Duel-Travisand KDE23:49
Sh1G3rUbye bye everyone cu !!23:49
icerootSh1G3rU: sudo su is like cat foo | grep bar. it shows a lack of skill23:49
abaddonDuel-Travis: 64 or 32 bit?23:49
bekksBoneheads1999: http://askubuntu.com/questions/184266/what-is-unlock-keyring-and-how-do-i-get-rid-of-it23:49
abaddonDuel-Travis: I'd go with the 32 bit version.23:50
abaddonDuel-Travis: But, just for funsies, you should check out qBittorrent. It's a great client23:51
=== michael is now known as Guest54202
Duel-Travisbetter tan utorrent?23:53
abaddonDuel-Travis: You should compare the two to see.23:54
Duel-TravisWhat was it called?23:54
Boneheads1999bekks ok I started following those instructions.  I installed seahorse via terminal, but then when I press alt + f2, it tries running "Passwords & Keys" and then says it couldn't find it.23:54
Duel-TravisqBitTorrent?23:54
abaddonDuel-Travis: What does uTorrent have that you like s much?23:54
Duel-Travisabaddon, Just familiar with it23:55
abaddonDuel-Travis: Yes, qBittorrent23:55
Duel-Travisabaddon, gettting it now23:55
abaddonDuel-Travis: Well, it's good to get outta nyour comfrt zone at times,lol. Does uTorrent have a built in search?23:56
Duel-Travisno?23:56
abaddonDuel-Travis: qBittorrent has built in torrent searches23:56
Duel-TravisOkay23:57
Duel-TravisL)23:57
abaddonDuel-Travis: You can even add sites as you find them to its list23:57
Boneheads1999anyone?23:57

Ben64Boneheads1999: it says to run "seahorse"23:58
Boneheads1999Ben64 oh23:58
Boneheads1999Ben64 ok23:58
abaddonDuel-Travis: Anyway, the link you sent me seems fine. Just use the version number for your system, ie the 64 or 32 bit version. But consider trying qBittorrent too. I think you'll like it23:58
Duel-Travisabaddon, when i search i dont find anything?23:58
abaddonDuel-Travis: For qBittorrent?23:59
Boneheads1999holy crap I found it23:59
