[00:00] hi, what do i type in terminal to set language to italian? (language packages are already installed) === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [00:00] language/locale [00:02] hi, what do i type in terminal to set language to italian? (language was correct before, dont know why it changed) [00:03] IncrediblePony: So you get this error as soon as you boot from USB? [00:03] The installer can't even start? [00:03] nope [00:03] no UI or anything, just a boot:_ console [00:03] anybody? [00:03] IncrediblePony: Dang. We need to find someone who is knowledgeable about that part of the installation process. [00:04] warasab: you could try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" [00:04] how to update a specific version of ubuntu? [00:04] warasab: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/changing-default-language-from-command-line-438947/ [00:04] thanks [00:04] warasab: setlocale looks like it might help in this case. [00:04] seanz: i doubt red-hat info will apply to ubuntu... just sayin'. warasab [00:04] seanz: well I'm trying a different way to format my USB atm [00:04] lets see if it works :P [00:05] zykotick9: Yeah, I should vet links moreso than I just did. [00:05] what is keyboard shortcut for terminal? [00:05] sudo update-manager -d , how to specify the version? [00:05] ctrl alt t [00:05] warasab: This is probably a better link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale [00:06] thanks [00:06] help my [00:07] IncrediblePony: How are you formatting it? From what I understand, you can create a USB installer with cp on the command line pretty easily. [00:07] good bay [00:07] There are instructions "around the Internet" for such things. [00:07] hello. [00:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6450973/ [00:07] IncrediblePony: I would test the USB stick on a different computer if possible. See if it works. [00:13] anyone have problems with redhsift? [00:14] kludge_: are you finding, it isn't doing anything? [00:15] it crashes whenever I start it [00:15] just a heads up Im using xubuntu [00:15] kludge_: different issue then ;) best of luck. [00:15] haha [00:15] damn, Ill check the xubuntu channel [00:16] Good evening everyone === Deyan is now known as Guest99575 [00:17] hello guys i need your help please, i had an installation of ubuntu 12.04 on my computer, yesterday i decided to update to 12.10. [00:17] Ghostman, go to the Ubuntu download page, they still have 12.04 LTS on the download options [00:18] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [00:18] hello guys i need your help please, i had an installation of ubuntu 12.04 on my computer, yesterday i decided to update to 12.10. at the reboot now is asking me a login and password in a console mode, i do not understand what kind of login is exactly, a part that there is no way to have an access to a console [00:18] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [00:19] Thank you DCManning can you please help me with my question? [00:19] Ghostman, you will need to burn a copy of the 12.04 LTS ISO to a cd by going to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [00:19] the installer will talk you through the process [00:19] so you mean to reinstall again? [00:20] Unfortunately that is what I had to do when i tried that on my other Linux PC [00:20] but used to be already installed and working (with data also) [00:20] Is this for a laptop or for a phone? [00:20] is a desktop [00:21] if you are jumping from one OS to another, unfortunately, it means sometimes you have to lose your old files [00:21] well, i'm not jumping, i just updated! [00:21] I am not sure if there is another way, I can try to find someone for you who is a bit more knowledgeable than I am [00:22] thank you anyway, i will keep posting the initial question, thank you [00:24] hello guys i need your help please, i had an installation of ubuntu 12.04 on my computer, yesterday i decided to update to 12.10. at the reboot now is asking me a login and password in a console mode, i do not understand what kind of login is exactly (or related to), a part that there is no way to have an access to a console, what i should do? [00:26] lo all. we have (unfortunately) several 11.04 (ok, alot actually) instances... im attempting to install postgresql v9. Postgres provides debs and a repository, but unfortunately, natty is no longer supported (yeah, im aware). In this case, would it be better to assume using the lucid packages, or the precise packages to install postgres 9 on natty ? [00:28] hey [00:28] hi, so??i've got a ubuntu 12.04 machine (VM) here??i would like it to be running "whatever's newest" (13.10")? am i reading this right that really, the way to do this is have update-manager upgrade me 12.04->12.10,12.10->13.04,13.04->13.10? Three updates in a row? [00:28] !11.04 | Daemoen it isn't supported in #ubuntu either [00:28] Daemoen it isn't supported in #ubuntu either: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on October 28, 2012. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [00:29] When I first opened update manager it was offering to let me upgrade to 14.04, which sounds??wrong D: [00:29] zykotick9, ubottu: im not asking you guys to support it [00:29] but then i hit "check" and it took away that option. [00:29] hello [00:29] Hey I'm writing a shell script. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get some dummy maillog files to test my script it working! [00:29] im asking which version 11.04 would be closer to, id wager 10.04, as 11.04 should be able to satisfy any version dep that 10.04 could have, but not necessarily the case with 12, as that could have newer kernel and package versions [00:30] due to dependency, id wager that i should in theory be able to use 10.04 packages just fine on 11.04, but as I am not an Ubuntu engineer by trade, wanted to simply confirm the theory. [00:30] i have installed xorg related deb package which offers new version of xorg, but i have accidently kept the old version, now this message is not appearing when trying to install it again, could someone tell me how to bring it back ? [00:32] or how to show eula of that package again ? [00:33] Anyone know of a decent desktop zooming accessibility program? [00:33] My eyesight's starting to go bad [00:36] I can't transfer an iso from android to ubuntu 'not supported' [00:40] berryciderspider, What ubuntu release, I have had transfer problems at times, not an iso, generally media but found mount remount worked...etc. [00:41] wilee-nilee: on 12.04 [00:41] berryciderspider, Can you plug a usb flash into the android? [00:42] berryciderspider, Is the android even showing in ubuntu, and how are you trying to transfer? [00:43] when I plug phone into comp, it shows with purple header 'is digital audio devic', wants to open with rhythmbox [00:43] I can move photos, mp3s across, but not this iso [00:43] berryciderspider, In 12.04 I used a ppa to get mtp and show the android files. [00:43] mtp? [00:44] the issue is I don't have access to the internet on my desktop, and tethering isn't working [00:45] berryciderspider, mtp is Media Transfer Protocol look it up if needed. [00:46] Anyone having trouble running Skype on Ubuntu 12.04? [00:46] berryciderspider, My reference to mtp was just for being seen at all in 12.04, which you seem to have. [00:47] ah right [00:47] Tavor: you? [00:49] I am having issue with it, yes. It has been working just fine until today. Now it just loads and loads, never getting past that point [00:49] Tavor: what version? [00:49] reisio, 4.2 [00:50] Tavor: can you be more specific? [00:51] reisio: I launch the Skype application, and then the usual window pops up showing that it's trying to connect, but it's stuck doing that [00:52] you said that already [00:52] http://imgur.com/DrTvkda [00:52] That's what I see^ [00:52] and this is an image of what you already described, twice [00:52] can you be more specific about the version? [00:53] i am going to guess it's skype 4.2 for linux [00:53] oh yeah? [00:53] let's guess the solution, then [00:54] press CTRL+M+A+G+I+C :p [00:54] that'll probably work [00:54] This specific? http://imgur.com/vkrb5y3 [00:55] Could someone please help me? I have Ubuntu 12.04. I want the Unity interface but don't have it... where do I download it or get it? [00:55] Boneheads1999, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [00:55] Tavor: yes, 4.2.0.11 is more specific than 4.2 [00:56] Boneheads1999, I assume this is a headless machine? [00:56] Boneheads1999, What did you install to start with? [00:56] Tavor: run ls -a ~/ | grep -i skype [00:56] Tavor: or ls ~/.config | grep -i skype [00:56] wilee-nilee I bought this HP Pavillion a610e pre-installed with Ubuntu at a Thrift Shop. [00:56] moppy I have no idea what a headless machine is [00:56] Tavor: try temporarily moving what you find, to see if its presence is part of the problem [00:57] Boneheads1999, does it boot to a desktop, or a command line terminal? [00:57] boots to a desktop [00:57] moppy boots to a desktop [00:57] Boneheads1999, Was this thrift shop a computer shop where this was installed for users? [00:58] no [00:58] Boneheads1999, if it's standard ubuntu that will be unity. can you screen shot the desktop so we can see which it is? (or you mght be able to change it on the login screen by clicking the icon at the right of the login name) [00:58] moppy sure one sec [00:58] Boneheads1999, So somebody else's install for their use that you don;t know? [00:58] wilee-nilee yeah :P [00:59] wilee-nilee: ;) i like where your going with the above idea. [00:59] Boneheads1999, I would ren=move it and install your own,. [00:59] remove* [00:59] wilee-nilee: +1 [00:59] it's a good idea, so long as the machine works [00:59] Boneheads1999: yeah kinda agree with others here though it might be worth just playing with it as is first for the heck of it [00:59] there's usualyl a reason a computer winds up in a thrift shop though [00:59] * zykotick9 wonders how Boneheads1999 got the password... [01:00] autologin and free rootkits [01:00] zykotick9 I had to do like a root access type-deal [01:00] wilee-nilee: lol [01:00] it was fairly difficult [01:00] Boneheads1999: a headless machine is just when a OS has no desktop interface installed === miguel_ is now known as Guest41414 [01:01] one second.. I'm attempting to upload a desktop screenshot [01:01] wafflejock: technically, a headless machine is one without a monitor [01:01] moppy Here's a screenshot of my desktop: http://imgur.com/3WHctxM [01:02] got a tar.tz and I have no idea how to install the software. Any general guidelines? Can't find any instructions [01:02] oh.. there was a setup script [01:02] fishduck: don't... [01:03] zykotick9: there is no general way to install stuff like that I presume? [01:03] Boneheads1999, yea that isnt unity ... :-) could reinstall ... otherwise "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" then reboot and select unity on the login screen [01:03] zykotick9: fair enough [01:03] !checkinstall | fishduck [01:03] fishduck: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

[01:03] ok [01:04] btw guys which DE is that? I don't recognise it immediately [01:04] ubottu: I'll remember that. I've got a gui installer now though. But where do you chose to install software in general? it gives no suggestions [01:04] fishduck: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:04] moppy: nor do i. (but that isn't surprising) [01:05] darn.. second time ubo'ttu fools me [01:06] moppy: yeah feel like it could be XFCE but the panel makes me feel like no... not sure [01:07] Moppy: If we are referring to Boneheads1999's image, that looks like XFCE to me but like wafflejock said, the panel dont seem right. [01:07] this could be a new quiz show [01:07] moppy: Hey, I am not sure if you remember me from earlier, but have you ever heard of an xorg error that could totally freeze a system? [01:07] moppy: Name That DE/WM ;) [01:08] they click a few buttons in the theme manager then "name that DE" for prizes.

If I am using less than half? [01:34] re-install necessary because my nividia drivers got so messed up it was unrepairable. SYstem 76 team recommended re-install from LiveUSB. So my home directory was saved (thankfully), and reinstall went smooth. No rebuilding and tweaking. Had to reinstall all my packages. (6 months of tweak down drain). Two goofy issues found so far. Cheese starts shows my face. but won't snap picture and hangs when try to do video. AND #2. [01:34] lolcat, equal swap to ram or slightly larger is the norm.

[01:37] hello guys i need your help, i updated from 12.04 to 12.10 and at the reboot it ask me to login with a console terminal. I can not understand what kind of login it is, can you help me? [01:37] ffs... my efforts to install ubuntu seem to fail.. my entire win7 OS just crashed and burned because of it :( - well... reformatting my entire hdd === Guest41414 is now known as ubuntuzero [01:38] why did an african invent ubuntu and why isn't he a nigger? [01:38] irctc481 do CRTL ALT F1 to bring up terminal [01:39] is already in terminal, not even the graphics appear [01:39] coop999 is already in terminal, not even the graphics appear [01:39] irctc481: you need to use your regular username and password to login [01:39] start the lightdm (look for this on google) [01:39] after you login you can try to do this [01:39] sudo service lightdm restart [01:40] coop999 i can not because is not a shell, is just login with a cursor [01:40] if the graphics are able to startup properly you'll get a nomral graphical login if not you have to investigate what is wrong with your xorg.conf basically [01:41] ok, wafflejock, you told me before that is just a normal login and password. [01:41] if just login with cursor then try to login username and then password and then try the sudo command for lightdm noted previously [01:41] irctc481: yeah it's just asking for any user/password combo that is stored on the system or can be authenticated with PAM [01:41] the strange thing it is that i do not know the username, because i use to click on the user and type the password. [01:42] irctc481, Do you happen to have a graphic card that needs drivers? [01:42] is the username the same of the permission? [01:42] irctc481: you'll need to remember the username [01:42] irctc481: there's no harm in guessing really [01:43] irctc481: mine is just my first name believe this is default [01:44] how i can retrieve the username? [01:44] i'm loading in recovery mode now [01:44] just installed something that I have no idea where the installed stuff went. Searching trough whole / after its files.. finds it nowhere :P. How do I find the stuff it installed? [01:45] fishduck: how did you install? [01:45] fishduck: using apt-get? [01:45] hello. fresh re-install of 13.10 after upgrade went bad. Now Cheese will display my face, but will not snap photo and hangs when press video record. Webcam does work with skype. Nothing pops doing google search on Cheese that is recent in terms of errors. Cheese worked fine in 13.04 on this machine. [01:45] fishduck: if so you can use dpkg -L packagename [01:45] wafflejock: checkinstall and some weird package [01:46] wafflejock: thanks. it says /. .. what does that mean? [01:46] fishduck: if you installed from a .sh or the like you'll need to look into the file to see what it does or read the docs where you got the installer or us inotifywatch to see what's going on [01:46] hi everyone... normally not this desperate, but I've spent two days trying to get any version of ubuntu running on a ThinkPad T430. [01:46] Need to be able to use two external (non-laptop) monitors when it's docked, and to use the laptop monitor when it's not docked. [01:47] tomtheman5: getting CRTC -5 error? [01:47] I'm getting black screens, purple screens, really long mouse trails, super low resolutions... I've tried everything :( [01:47] tomtheman5: ah I ask cause on Kubuntu here and get that error if I have 3 monitors hooked up [01:47] tomtheman5, Have you checked the web on the dock being linux friendly? [01:48] wafflejock: No, I don't think so... Never seen that before. Should I check logs? [01:48] tomtheman5: I have to disable the LCD before hooking up the other two [01:48] it would have been obvious no need to search logs === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [01:49] wilee-nilee: I've read through around 30-40 different pages... I'm running out of help links :P [01:49] tomtheman5: or at least no need to search for that in particular then... but sounds like graphics drivers issues [01:50] wafflejock: That's what confuses me... I've got a T410 with 12.04 32-bit that does exactly what I want... It switches every time I dock === prince is now known as Guest89958 [01:50] tomtheman5, I would make sure the monitors can be run independently of the dock and what is needed to have them do so. [01:50] wafflejock i'm loading in recovery mode now and at the menu i selected root shell prompt [01:50] tomtheman5: still could easily be very different GPUs === irctc481 is now known as Easy [01:50] dunno what a GPU is... hang on...looking it up [01:51] Easy: you can type: ls -al /home/ [01:51] ah [01:51] oh just graphics processor [01:51] or graphics chipset [01:52] tomtheman5: you can use lcpci to see the details [01:52] ugh I'm really at a loss... company is offering me a mac instead, but I *really* want ubuntu to work lol [01:52] tomtheman5: you can put ubuntu on the Mac :) [01:52] but I would fight it :) === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon === Freejack is now known as Freejack_ [01:52] I just hate how light they are hahaha...

[01:53] I wouldn't I really do dislike them that much :0 [01:53] Do you know of any good resources that explain this stuff to a newbie? graphics, drivers, and how to manage them on linux? [01:54] tomtheman5: It's a moving target, unfortunately [01:54] like I said, I've been searching around since yesterday... but everything I find is really obtuse (to me, anyway) [01:54] tomtheman5: unfortunatley no I don't it's a bit of black magic as far as I'm concerned... I have a System76 which has been largely fine Intel HD 4000 graphics, but still quirks as I mentioned [01:55] Just for the experience and extra knowledge to help apple users [01:55] luckily nothing I can't easily get around in my case but not sure where exactly to point you [01:55] tomtheman5: did anyone point out the ubuntu manual to you? [01:55] gvo Good to see you in the house! [01:56] maujhsn: Hi always somewhere. [01:56] Ok! [01:56] eh I used one for a bit cause was working on a project for schools where lots of Macs are out there but no reason for another machine and so the hackintosh was born [01:56] what's /opt/ ?? [01:56] daftykins: no... downloading it now, thanks [01:56] fishduck: usually for optional software packages... third party stuff [01:57] i try to lock google chrome to laucher, but it refuses to be locked ... when i log out and login again it is not more in the laucher .... what can i o [01:57] fishduck: IBM Websphere installs there, Sublime Text I believe is suggested to be installed there, other stuff [01:57] I was told by #winehq to install libgl-mesa-dri:i386, to fix an issue with wine running with the software renderer, but when I try running 'sudo apt-get install libgl-mesa-dri:i386', it says that it is already installed. Am I running the correct command to install 32bit libs on a 64bit system? [01:57] chicognu, Desktop? [01:57] wilee-nilee, if my ubuntu is desktop version ? yes ... [01:57] wafflejock: so it's a program folder, perhaps? [01:57] chicognu, Unity? [01:58] wilee-nilee, yes [01:58] fishduck: yeah it's basically a folder for some third party programs, most stuff from the repos just ends up in /usr/bin with config in /etc [01:58] and logs in /var/log [01:58] chicognu, You are using keep on panel when open? [01:58] gvo Does freenode have a number two rival in the "irc" education world? [01:58] can someone help me figure out a slowness issue with nfs4 mounts? [01:58] fishduck: but occasionally something goes into /opt/ not sure the exact history of it [01:59] wilee-nilee, where is that option ? i don't know what is that about [01:59] maujhsn: I think effnet [01:59] Hi, I'm trying to install teamspeak. I can't find it with apt-cache or software center, but this exists. Ideas? http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/teamspeak-client [01:59] I keep seeing things telling me to go to the "Additional Drivers" tab of Software and Updates... Any ideas why that tab shows me no actual drivers? [01:59] maujhsn: actually freenode might be #2 behind OFTC [01:59] maujhsn: I don't know. [01:59] Ok! [01:59] chicognu, open chrome right click the icon in panel. [01:59] piousminion: lsb_release -a [02:00] wafflejock: Ubuntu 13.10 saucy [02:00] there is a option "lock to luncher" wilee-nilee [02:00] is that what im using [02:00] zykotick9 OFTC education based as well? [02:00] piousminion: are you on x64? [02:00] chicognu, That is? from a right click with chrome open? [02:00] piousminion: package says it's i386 think you need to suffix that on the package like, teamspeak-client:i386 [02:01] wafflejock: I am. hmm. Do I need to enable multilib somehow? [02:01] piousminion: not sure though just guessing here [02:01] maujhsn: dpkg's oftc factoid - OFTC is the Open and Free Technology Community, a support/collaboration service. They have an IRC network: irc.oftc.net. You may be connected to OFTC's network. http://www.oftc.net/ See also , and . [02:01] wilee-nilee, there is the title of the windown, the option to lock it and quit [02:02] chicognu, we are not communicating. [02:02] wilee-nilee, can we try again ? [02:02] zykotick9 Thanks for the food for thought! [02:03] maujhsn: fyi, my local LUG and debian both use OFTC over freenode [02:03] wilee-nilee, the panel you said is the vertical bar in the left, right ? [02:03] chicognu, open chrome, in the left panel right click the chrome icon and click add to panel. [02:03] think it's lock to panel no? haven't been in unity in a sec [02:04] chicognu: it's generally referred to as the launcher I believe in Unity, typically any bar with stuff in it within Linux has been called a panel though [02:04] can you stop FF from installing from ubuntus repository and get the updates directly from mozilla instead? [02:04] no confirmation in straight english that is even happening [02:04] fishduck: bad idea... [02:04] zykotick9: why? [02:05] fishduck: untested [02:05] wafflejock: +1 [02:05] fishduck: unless you fancy yourself a guinea pig [02:05] wafflejock, well here is lock to laucher [02:05] hi everyone [02:05] can I prevent ff from installing the weirdware from ubuntu then? I see a lot of weird plugins such as "onlineaccount-something" (I'm pretty sure.. like 100% that I don't need it and most likely don't want it) [02:05] but it don't really lock [02:06] chicognu: yeah not sure... for some reason in KDE I had to make my own .desktop file then use that to add it a panel [02:06] can someone tell me the sizes of the partitions that is recomended for ubuntu? [02:06] nevermind. figured it out. gssd wasn't running. [02:06] fishduck: now, THAT point makes an argument for using mozilla's version... best of luck. [02:06] chicognu: no problems with any other icon but the chrome one was fighting with me for some reason [02:06] i read that i should have 3 partitions for a 320gb hard drive [02:06] nicor: Depends on your storage space, and how much memory [02:07] i see [02:07] nicor: If you have low memory, you'll want some swap space [02:07] zykotick9: sarcasm? :P [02:07] 320gb 2gb ram [02:07] fishduck: NO! [02:07] wafflejock, lol, same here ... xchat is just fine ... anything is just fine .... but chrome .... [02:07] fishduck, some plugins are installed already, notice the dropdown on the left of each one. [02:07] nicor: 2 is a bit low, so you'll probably want to partition 512 to 1 GB of swap [02:07] fishduck: "I" wouldn't trust ubuntu's firefox... [02:07] ok thans [02:07] fishduck: I'm a chromium user personally like the stripped down and chrome developer tools [02:07] er right fishduck [02:08] Does anyone know if I can use the intuos wacom digipad with 13.10? [02:08] and the other 2 parts? [02:08] zykotick9: press ctrl+shift+a in FF and check the plugins and addons.. you'll find a lot of weird stuff, at least in the latest ubuntu versions [02:08] nicor: There is no real point to partitioning /home seperately on the same disk, as it tends to cause headaches you can easily avoid [02:08] ist ok 50 gb for the OS [02:08] fishduck: i don't use ubuntu (or firefox - i use iceweasel) [02:08] oo [02:08] oo [02:08] i see [02:08] nicor: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:08] nicor: If you have multiple disks, then you might want to partition one as /home [02:08] so i can have to parts [02:08] nicor, Can you explain 3 partitions and what they are? [02:09] nicor: Generally, if you partition / and /swap you'll be set on most installs [02:09] geekmasterflash, well i really like use other partition to home .... i don't need to backup anything when reinstalling the system [02:09] heekmasterflash: thanks [02:09] i think that is what im going to do [02:09] and i put 2gb of swap [02:09] just in case [02:09] nicor: That is definately overkill [02:09] fishduck: keep in mind - i'm a TROLL. your words, not mine :P [02:10] i use here /boot /system /swap /home .... there is a reason for swap be between system and home :) [02:11] the most accessed files during the use of system are in /system and /home ... so the swap between they will increase a little bit the performace nicor [02:11] boot partition is not needed in a msdos setup [02:11] wilee-nilee: if you use encrypted file systems it might be! [02:12] zykotick9, That may be, but I will not comment on those that encrypt. [02:12] ;) [02:13] wilee-nilee: i don't use encrypted FSs either ;) [02:13] chicognu: i see, so what yo recomend? [02:13] my /boot partition, in fact, are in my pendrive ... and a carry it to every single place i go. the hd on notebook are fully encrypted :) [02:13] Fully encrypted HDD here too. [02:13] And no, I'm not hiding anything. [02:13] i think that to advanced for me at this point, but ill ihave it on mind [02:13] of course you are [02:14] Nope. Nothing hidden. [02:14] wilee-nilee: im not an expert actually im really rookie with this but i read that there is 3 partition types for a hard drive, the primary one, the secondary one and the swap one.. === communist is now known as Guest83643 [02:15] wilee-nilee the primary ande secondary one are for the file systems end the swap one is for the ram memory to put there some secondary task or something [02:15] wilee-nilee: is that ok? [02:15] Does anyone here use teamspeak on 64-bit saucy? Everything online says the package should exist, but it doesn't. [02:15] nicor, primary I will assume is root and secondary is home, works for some who want to upgrade and keep home. [02:15] nicor, i don't have know how to recommend anything lol .... what i uses is /boot 256mb /system with 30gb (a lot are freespace, but i never now when I will need to install some thing big) swap with 512 mb or 1gb, and the everything else as home [02:16] And no, I'm not hiding anything. [02:16] well i hide porn from my mom ... normal porn ... but of course i don't wanna my mom to see it [02:16] lol [02:16] What? I'm not hiding anything. [02:16] chicognu, You can tab complete nicks [02:16] LOL [02:17] ok guys i think that i know now what im going to do [02:17] If your talking about the Iron man 3 movie on my HDD, that was there when I bought it ;o [02:17] im going to do 2 partitions [02:17] swap of 1 gb [02:17] Kidding. My Ubuntu is mostly default. Except for a Skype Package installed. [02:17] and the other one for everything else [02:18] BuntuFuntu: why the encryption then? [02:18] i apreciate the advices [02:18] nicor: Just keep in mind that if you format / and swap only, it will be easy but recovery could be harder [02:18] i see [02:18] Wafflejock: Idk. I guess to make it harder incase my laptop was stolen. [02:18] i ll have it on mind [02:18] :P [02:18] but just for future references [02:19] nicor: I get around that by having a usb hard drive for backup purposes. [02:19] BuntuFuntu: yeah but if nothing sensitive on it you're okay anyho [02:19] anyhow* [02:19] how much the root part should have? [02:19] nicor: But some people kile to go nuts [02:19] like* [02:19] hahahha [02:20] Did anyone hear that Adobe Photoshop's source code was released by some group that managed to steal it? o.O [02:20] BuntuFuntu: no but that's great news [02:20] BuntuFuntu: NOT ubuntu related! [02:20] wafflejock, in my case i full encrypt the hdd and walks with a pendrive with the boot encrypted because im really paranoic ... i belive some one can change my hdd contents when I'm out of home or some thing else ... and with the hd fully encrypted I believe it is not possible to put a keylogger or anything else [02:20] BuntuFuntu: I mean not the stealing part [02:20] i mean how much is the minimun amount that the root need to work properly [02:21] nicor: 5GB (but that'll break if you try to upgrade) [02:21] with the boot "decrypted"* [02:21] BuntuFuntu: but photoshop on ubuntu without VM sure would be nice, which Adobe would just work something out instead though [02:21] wafflejock: Aha yes but back on topic. do you think Arma would play on Ubuntu with wine and playonlinux? [02:21] !requirements | nicor [02:21] nicor: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [02:21] wish* [02:22] ok [02:22] got it [02:22] BuntuFuntu: not sure about that haven't done a lot gaming in wine just Steam [02:22] im going to read about it [02:22] thanks again! [02:22] good bye people! [02:22] Wafflejock: It won't hurt for me to try though :P [02:22] nicor: I generally let /root be part of /, since that means it can be expanded when I update [02:22] chicognu: that is extra paranoid why not protect the house? [02:22] wafflejock, protect the data is free [02:22] :) === jose- is now known as JoseeAntonioR [02:23] geekmasterflash: ahhh /root should be close to empty on ubuntu... [02:23] chicognu: true I suppose, I just don't have data per se that I'm worried about protecting... use keepass for passwords and the like, just about everything else is online [02:24] and i just don't think people on the west side of chicago are savvy to the point they're going to come in here install a keylogger and leave everything untouched [02:24] wafflejock, not to mention that I have an extra pendrive (that only have /home encrypted for no reason) with ubuntu 12.04LTS only to use internet banking and home broker system. (I don't need to say that I also walk to every where with that pendrive) [02:24] more likely they will take all the electronics and pawn them where they'll be wiped [02:25] Hi all [02:25] I've installed Ubuntu successfully, dual booting with Windows 8.1 [02:26] wafflejock, that is true ... i really recognize that my behavior are 98% based on paranoia, not in a real possibility [02:26] grumpybynight: great [02:26] chicognu: yeah I just don't want the extra trouble if I need to pull the drive and the like [02:26] Ubuntu is running great, but Windows seems to have slowed down a LOT. Very laggy after installing Ubuntu. I'm not sure why this has happened. Any ideas? [02:26] grumpybynight: Did you install it on a UEFI drive? [02:27] grumpybynight: I had a similar problem trying to dual boot from a drive formatted for UEFI. It worked, kind of, but made the original OS buggy as hell [02:27] hey can anyone tell me why my middle scroll button is irratic in ubuntu 13.10 [02:27] geekmasterflash: No, legacy. And I've disabled the fast startup setting. [02:28] I mean i'm scrolling then it starts going up when scrolling hte middle wheel down etc. [02:28] geekmasterflash: How'd you fix the problem? [02:28] grumpybynight, Ubuntu is a separate OS, should be no effect on windows speed. [02:28] grumpybynight: I didn't, I ended up bricking the hard drive putzing around with gparted [02:29] grumpybynight, You might defragg it if you resized it. [02:29] grumpybynight: so far running win 8 in a VM it's been good had it side by side before but no issues either (8 not 8.1 though) [02:29] wilee-nilee: I will try that. I'm not sure why it's happening, though, since Windows and Ubuntu are both on separate partitions. [02:29] i'm trying to re/un-install unity webapps - any way to do it without removing unity? [02:29] how can I write #ubuntu iso to my usb? [02:30] grumpybynight: It's unlikely, but did you have a large page file on the windows side? [02:30] grumpybynight: You might have eaten enough extra space that windows can't page right [02:30] guest4691: are you on ubuntu right now? if so, use "startup disk creator" from the dash [02:31] guest4691: if you are on a gnu/linux distro: 1st choices = cat/cp/dd; distant 2nd choice unetbootin [02:31] tomtheman5: the 'make' buttton is deactivated [02:31] I'm on ubuntu [02:31] guest4691: Is the USB stick formatted? [02:31] you'll need to download the ISO [02:31] Using chrome on ubuntu 12.04... Trying to open what is supposed to be a graphic... instead, it's downloading the file as a .php... opening it results in gibberish.... anyone know what plugin I might need to make chrome behave properly? [02:31] yeah to fat32 [02:31] I have the iso [02:32] guest4691: you'll need to download and select the ISO at the top [02:32] Before installing Ubuntu, I had C: and D: partitions. Windows was on C:. I resized my D: and installed Ubuntu in the extra space freed up. [02:32] lol did that [02:32] guest4691: Is the ISO file located in the home folder somewhere? === damccull_ is now known as damccull [02:32] its in documents [02:32] so yes [02:32] and the disk is formatted? [02:33] yeah to fat32 [02:34] isn't there a command for it? dd I think [02:34] any scrolling issues with ubuntu recorded [02:34] middle wheel scrolling [02:34] Anyway, I think I'll try defragging [02:34] brb [02:34] beats me, sorry :( [02:35] thanks anyway [02:35] guest4691: sudo dd if=~/path/to/iso/iso.iso of=/dev/sdx oflag=direct bs=1048576 [02:35] my system get stuck at checking battery state, what i can do? please help me [02:35] I did have some issues with the startup disk tool UI... both sections only show one entry, and you need to expand the window to see others [02:35] SetiAmon, State the issues to the channel if you want help. [02:36] guest4691: i'd suggest "sudo -i" then "cat /path/to/fils.iso /dev/sdX" [02:37] guys can you read my messages? just to realize [02:37] irctc084: yes we see your messages [02:38] zykotick9 ok, thanks, because i did not receive any clue i was thinking you can not read them [02:38] thanks geekmasterflash, writing now [02:38] The middle button,scroll wheel.when i am scrolling it will be irratic like scrolling down it will start scrolling up or jumpy etc [02:38] that is my issue [02:38] so nobody can help, me or giving me any clue? [02:38] ubuntu 13.10 [02:38] !tab | irctc084 fyi [02:38] irctc084 fyi: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:38] SetiAmon: Is it an optical mouse? [02:38] yes [02:39] irctc084, You gotta give it more than 2 min and post details. [02:39] a wireless mouse also [02:39] SetiAmon: Some optical mice have a the laser termine if the wheel is moving. If dust gets in it, it can cause mayhem [02:39] SetiAmon: Over enginnering for the win [02:39] wait it isn't optical if that means lazer.its just hte red light infared [02:39] SetiAmon: Otherwise, it might be wireless interference? [02:40] wilee-nilee: thank you, i'm trying to post details but i do not now what kind of details you needed [02:40] i didn't have a issue with windows [02:40] SetiAmon: Can you boot into windows currently and not have the issue? Sometimes issues prop up between boots [02:40] guys my problem is this, my system get stuck at "checking battery state" during boot what i can do? [02:41] maybe i'll buy another wireless mouse on black friday and see if that works [02:41] Just did a fresh install of 13.04 onto my T430... still getting the same graphics issues... Is it worth trying with 12.04? [02:41] irctc084, when where and how on the check would be helpful probably. [02:41] Nah the reason i've just install linux is because windows locked into a infininite startup boot loop and couldn't be fixed....lost 500gigs man [02:42] Or is it just never going to work because the driver just doesn't exist/work? (in which case I'd downgrade to my T410, which I know works) [02:42] SetiAmon: It's unlikely, but the issue could have been something that started between then and now and unrelated to Linux [02:42] SetiAmon: Do you have another computer you can test the mouse on? [02:42] nope. [02:42] its cool i'll just point and drag the scroll [02:42] wilee-nilee: i press the power on button, the system start to load and on the list of the service start it stop at checking battery. [02:42] SetiAmon: Is it bluetooth? [02:43] if it is a linux issue i imagine it will be patched [02:43] alright, so now nm-applet works.. [02:43] no bluetooth is turned off it has one of those usb sticks [02:43] wilee-nilee: i'm not even able to exit, i'm constricted to force the shutdown [02:43] if i run it as root. [02:43] irctc084, During the boot yhou have the splash off you are seeing text? [02:43] But it says it can't find networkmanager if run as a regular user [02:44] Can anyone tell me how to set the hotspots on the edges of my monitors? (i.e., lower-right corner opens the workspace view) [02:44] I'm finding that my current settings are disruptive [02:44] rosco_y: I assume you're talking about compiz? [02:44] I have an upstart job that runs a daemon that responds to commands and launches applications. I have it running as my own user (amagee). I can't seem to get it to launch graphical apps though, I get errors saying "cannot open display". Is there something, perhaps an `export DISPLAY=???` incantation that might help? [02:45] Hello. While booting Ubuntu from USB I get stuck at a black screen that reads "SYLINUX 4.03 2010-10-22 EDD Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al" [02:45] geekmasterflash: I admit that I really don't know what I'm talking about.... [02:45] JordanJ2, check the sum of the iso [02:45] rosco_y: For example, I have a hot zone on the bottom of my screen. If I click it, I can rotate to another desktop [02:45] How? [02:45] but when I accidentally drag my mouse down to the edges of my monitor, then different functions are triggered. [02:45] rosco_y: That is a compiz setting [02:45] JordanJ2: also if that doesnt help try a different USB drive [02:45] hot zone, that's the word I was looking for. [02:45] rosco_y: Namely, the desktop cube "Rotate" setting [02:45] wilee-nilee: yes, i will try to force the power off, and i will let you know exaclty [02:45] I do not have another. [02:46] compiz, ty--I'll try that for awhile -- thanks geekmasterflash [02:46] wilee-nilee: do you have any ideas what might be the problem? [02:46] irctc084, HOw many times have you forced it off now, and has it ever worked, and isgthee any history of other problems? [02:46] is there* [02:46] rosco_y: If that is what you want, grab compizconfig-setting-manager [02:47] rosco_y: Then launch ccsm from a terminal [02:47] geekmasterflash: ty--installing as we speak :) [02:47] supergauntlet, Did you look through the askubuntu link I gave you? [02:47] wilee-nilee: which one? [02:47] the one related to the wifi card? [02:48] How do I change my password for a registered Nick In Xchat [02:48] supergauntlet, Yes, and wasn't it found that there was a sort of messed up upgrade as well? [02:48] wilee-nilee: lots because there i no way to switch off [02:48] yes, i went through with dist-upgrade and that seemed to fix nm-applet not working at all [02:48] but now it will only connect to wifi if I run nm-applet as root [02:49] irctc084, Hard shutdowns will break a OS. [02:49] Jebus: Can depend on the IRC server you are in, but usually it's /msg nickserv set password [02:49] wilee-nilee: The checksums match. [02:49] Jebus: Unless you are asking how to change the password on file within Xchat's settings... in which case.... I am not sure [02:49] JordanJ2, What app did you load the usb with? [02:49] wilee-nilee: i'm on the grub now, you want me to do something? [02:49] Unet bootin [02:50] irctc084, Not that I know of. [02:50] JordanJ2, Is this a nvidia graphic? [02:50] wilee-nilee: ok i will just start ubuntu... [02:50] Intel [02:50] geekmasterflash thank you :) [02:51] irctc084, and have it stop again and then hard shutdown? [02:51] wilee-nilee: no at the grub i started ubuntu then it appear the ubuntu logo that is loading and the a black screen [02:52] irctc084: Have you nuked any xorg.conf file? [02:52] geekmasterflash: i don't know nothing abuot that [02:53] irctc084, So when is it that you are actually getting this stuck battery check? I have asked questions, if you do not understand them say so. [02:53] irctc084: if you are logging into a black screen, it commonly due to something wrong with the graphics / xorg. If you can reach a command line, sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:53] wilee-nilee: can try to reboot in verbose mode what do you think? so i can give you a bterre picture [02:54] irctc084: Actually nevermind, I think I only caught half of that conversation [02:54] irctc084, we are not even close to communicating and now others are reading these last posts not all and advising you, I'm done. [02:55] wilee-nilee: what do you mean? [02:56] wilee-nilee: It will boot on UEFI mode but not legacy [02:56] hola hare una pregunta en español [02:56] !es | uc_ [02:56] uc_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro.

[02:58] JordanJ2, Hmm 7 posts to even mention uefi. [02:58] ? [02:58] JordanJ2, That is a key point no matter what. [02:58] geekmasterflash: it goes black just after the ubuntu loading splash screen. [03:00] hey guys got a fresh dedicated server, havent used linux, logged into it via ssh, want to install Red5, any idea what package of java i should get?

[03:02] irctc084: When you're in the grub menu, find your ubuntu boot and press e to edit [03:02] yep good point [03:02] Do you know why wilee-nilee? [03:02] irctc084: You may find "quiet splash" appended to the boot image. Change it to nomodeset [03:02] irctc084: Save, boot that image [03:02] oh how do i get a desktop i can remotely use with a dedicated server? seen some software that does it.. [03:03] irctc084: And you may then be able to install missing drivers [03:03] I want to disable all the special functions that happen when my mouse hits the edges of my panels, it's driving me nuts.... [03:03] MajSlayer: VNC works [03:03] thanks i'll google it [03:03] MajSlayer: you can use VNC through an SSH tunnel [03:03] awesome [03:03] ty [03:03] geekmasterflash: $nomodeset? [03:03] MajSlayer: np === Duel-Travis is now known as Negative === Negative is now known as Dual-Travis [03:04] irctc084: nomodeset [03:04] thanks ran a isp at one time, 13 years ago. but this server has nothing installed by default [03:04] thus the questions, got a book in the mail.lol [03:04] the install it yourself ones i loved.. [03:04] this one is pretty much a blank slate [03:04] hello anyone knows a video capture usb support linux to see it in vlc as dev-1 rjemplo? [03:05] but i guess thats a good thing in the end.. [03:05] I've been rooting around in ccsm, but I can't find it there.... [03:05] exit [03:05] irctc084: So for example... linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-26-generic root=UUID=randomnumbers ro quiet splash $vt_handoff would become linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-26-generic root=UUID=randomnumbers ro nomodeset $vt_handoff [03:05] lots of stuff though, maybe I'm missing it [03:05] rosco_y, desktop and special functions?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [03:06] irctc084: I use control-x, but I think f10 works too [03:06] anyone know a way to log into linux thru a serial port? the small monitor on my netbook is broken and plugging a monitor into the serial port seems to require additional user interaction. [03:06] which i obviously cant do because i can see anything [03:06] hexacode: can't plug in a monitor to serial port [03:06] valerio [03:07] hexacode: that's a vga port if it fits [03:07] ok [03:07] wafflejock: thats what i meant lol [03:07] hexacode: okay yeah I mean there is serial communication but I don't think anyone has that port anymroe [03:07] geekmasterflash: ok, now i have a tty1 with a login , i logged in and i have a shell, but no desktop [03:07] q [03:07] hexacode: if you boot the computer with the vga attached, it should display something [03:08] i remember people logged into linux via physical console wires [03:08] wilee-nilee: ty, for example, when I put my mouse in the lower-right corner, it opens up my Workspace switcher, when I put my mouse off the right edge, it opens up a task switcher etc. [03:08] Ben64: ah ya i think thats right [03:08] thanks [03:08] irctc084: Good, now you can log in with user/pass and grab some likely missing files [03:08] hexacode: yeah sometimes there is a button to toggle on laptops in the f-keys row [03:08] i totally forgot that [03:08] I thought it would be clever when I did it, but I can't get used to it. [03:08] irctc084: What desktop enviroment do you have installed? [03:09] geekmasterflash: it was the dafault one [03:09] irctc084: IE: So unity? [03:09] i think unity? [03:09] rosco_y: yeah, I prefer to click and drag the top or bottom of the screen. [03:09] irctc084: K [03:09] irctc084: And what type of graphics card do you have? [03:09] geekmasterflash: is a dell opltiplex 760, just a sec i look on internet [03:09] irctc084: if you don't know your graphics chipset check with lspci [03:09] SchrodingersScat: that sounds pretty good, but I just want to disable all the hot-zone special functionality on my monitors, so I can just sling my mouse out of the way [03:13] srsly... I've reformatted this crap five times now... every time an error got fixed, a new one popped up.. I've lost all my files on my hdd from win7 cus ubuntu boot made it crash.... I'm getting sick of this -.-' [03:14] Someone? ._. [03:14] JordanJ2: problem? [03:14] JordanJ2: ah boot from USB hang... have you tried with DVD? [03:14] geekmasterflash: wafflejock it should be a Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500; [03:15] I have an Intel GMA. .-. [03:15] IncrediblePony: learningn to backup the hard way :) [03:15] It will boot from UEFI fine just not legacy. wafflejock [03:15] IncrediblePony: what makes you think your files are gone, though [03:15] lspci give me a list but i can not scroll up (font too big) === Dual-Travis is now known as Duel-Travis [03:15] irctc084: Okay, first order of buisness lets nuke any existing xorg.conf (likely nothing there, but you never know) do a sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:15] I do not have a CD/DVD drive [03:16] irctc084: Then we are gonna install drivers, then reconfigure lightdm [03:16] irctc084: lspci | less [03:17] geekmasterflash: can not remove not such file [03:17] irctc084: or, lcpci | grep graphics [03:17] irctc084: q to get out of less [03:17] can I uninstall the KDE FUll and get xfce [03:17] Duel-Travis: yes [03:17] irctc084: K, so now you need drivers. Forgive me, I have never used intel graphics before, I need to look up where they are kept [03:17] Duel-Travis: same as uninstall ubuntu desktop and install KDE [03:17] So I have no idea wafflejock [03:18] wafflejock, oKAY BRB [03:18] JordanJ2: sorry no ideas either except somehow getting an external drive to use or something, even so dunno [03:18] The ubuntu-desktop is a meta package [03:19] wafflejock: thank you very much [03:19] It worked it Legacy before [03:19] irctc084: np [03:20] wafflejock, Okay so how would I uninstall it? [03:20] irctc084: Sorry, it will take a moment still I am working and just got a call. [03:20] it sound strange that the update didn't retrieve the drivers, it use to have before! [03:21] IncrediblePony: nice talkin' with you [03:21] sudo apt-get remove kubuntu desktop full? [03:21] geekmasterflash: take your time, you are doing even more that expected to help me. and i really appreciate that thank you. thank you to all of you, i'm learning a lot today [03:21] Duel-Travis: would follow advice here https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=Remove_KDE [03:21] Duel-Travis, No, what release is this? [03:21] Duel-Travis: if you're strapped for space remove it otherwise install side by side [03:22] Duel-Travis: your far better off just installing XFCE and using it in place of KDE than taking KDE out and losing other stuff that depends on the same packages [03:22] Duel-Travis: if you need to get the space back from KDE you can remove it but keep in mind you might be blowing away a lot of other stuff in the process [03:22] wafflejock, like what? [03:22] okay, who here have had success installing ubuntu with Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com? [03:23] IncrediblePony: not I [03:23] how did you do it? [03:23] IncrediblePony: I'd use unetbootin, and if that didn't work I'd be careful and use dd [03:23] actually _I_ would do the reverse, but dd is riskier [03:23] dd? [03:23] Duel-Travis: read the page... you will see as you go through the process it will tell you what is being removed [03:24] wafflejock, I still have unity [03:24] IncrediblePony: right [03:24] reisio what do you refer to by dd? [03:24] that's not anything I'm familiar with I think [03:25] IncrediblePony: basically all Unix systems have a command, 'dd' [03:25] IncrediblePony: :) [03:25] Duel-Travis: yeah as noted on the site there though removing KDE may result in removal of other packages that other DEs depend on so safer to re-install those before rebooting to be sure all packages are in good shape [03:25] irctc084: Alright, I am back [03:25] I've got a dvd drive connected via USB and brasero/wodim are complaining that "cannot load media" [03:25] Duel-Travis: any time you're doing stuff like replacing your whole desktop environment it's good to backup too [03:25] Ascendion: to do what with [03:25] reisio: well, I'm reformatting my hdd for the fith time this evening [03:25] geekmasterflash: i was looking too [03:26] burning ubunto 13.10 on a 12.04 system [03:26] reisio: and I'm getting frustrated [03:26] wafflejock, Why does it remove so much things? [03:26] irctc084: Are you installing 13.10? [03:26] So confused >_, [03:26] reisio: I'm using UUI, to install my ubuntu, but everytime there seems to be something missing or wrong with my installation [03:26] IncrediblePony: you said [03:26] Duel-Travis: not entirely clear to me how the dependency management and such is resolved in apt-get couldn't tell you the details [03:27] IncrediblePony: I'd use unetbootin or dd [03:27] reisio: never used either [03:27] and atm I have no OS [03:27] IncrediblePony: that's hard to believe [03:27] no, i upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 geekmasterflash but i do not mind to upgrade to 13.10 at this stage [03:28] it's almost 5 in the morning :( - I just want ubuntu to work at this point [03:28] irctc084: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/how-to-use-intel-linux-graphics-drivers.html this site should tell you how to get the intel drivers repo added [03:28] irctc084: it's likely a good option [03:28] IncrediblePony: I figured [03:29] Duel-Travis, for the record here is a site, in playing around left column, are whole desktop meta packages lists for ubuntu. Duel-Travis [03:29] irctc084: Actually [03:29] irctc084: Don't add that. [03:29] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [03:29] irctc084: There has to be a better way to get intel drivers [03:29] wafflejock: geekmasterflash do you think that i can update to 13.10 from the shell? did that fixx this issue all at once? [03:30] IncrediblePony: you should probably go to bed and try again when your fresh [03:30] multiple releases and desktops [03:30] irctc084: I would suggest doing a clean install if you have a backup or aren't concerned with the data [03:30] irctc084: Yeah, wafflejock's right. At this point, updating may not help since you might keep whatever dependancy you have that's broken currently [03:30] any ideas why I cannot burn the new ubuntu iso using a dvd burner connected via usb ?? [03:31] wafflejock: ok, but i'm doing this in order to retrieve also the data stored in the home desktop folder wich is encrypted [03:31] Ascendion: reduce burner speed usually helps [03:31] Ascendion: not too familiar with externals though [03:31] Ascendion, using what app? [03:32] wafflejock -- not even getting THAT far -- using wodim off the command line it complains "cannot load media with this drive, load media by hand" [03:32] irctc084: I think you should be able to grab the driver via sudo apt-get install intel-linux-graphics-installer [03:32] trying brasero it just fails to load the app at all [03:32] cdrecord off command line gives similar errors [03:32] Ascendion: ah yeah not sure about wodim, always used Brasero or the like [03:32] Ascendion: similar? [03:32] xcdtoast says it cannot access cdrecord [03:33] reiso -- its been about 30 minutes since I tried cdrecord -- I got a short memory :) [03:33] and it seems that cdrecord is just an alias for wodim anyway [03:34] geekmasterflash: unable to locate intel-linux-... [03:34] irctc084: you should probably look into what you need to do to get a network share or whatever you plan on transferring to mounted via the command line then and just do a cp to copy everything out of there and then do a clean install [03:34] Ascendion: cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/sr0 path/to/image [03:34] Anyone here use intel graphics? I never have and I have no idea how to grab the drivers via commandline [03:35] Geekmaster: I'd have no clue. I think I use all open-source drivers [03:35] wafflejock: in case i can also just copy the files of the home in a separate drive, but the problem it is that i'm not ale to acceed without the desktop up [03:35] Geekmasterflash: I know my comp does have Intel GMA on board. [03:35] there's intel-gpu-tools not sure though [03:35] irctc084: the home folder is just in /home [03:36] how do I say yes to all for rm -r for write protected files? [03:36] i can't keep tying y [03:36] irctc084: http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/ [03:36] shai_: -f [03:37] its a directory [03:37] wodim: Cannot load media with this drive! [03:37] wodim: Try to load media by hand. [03:37] wodim: Cannot load media. [03:37] wafflejock: yes but it is encrpyted unfortunately, my desktop is encrypted [03:37] Ascendion: neat [03:37] reisio rm -r-f [03:37] Ascendion: you have more than one CD drive? [03:37] irctc084: Try, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [03:38] hmm well intel-gpu-tools is interesting.. not drivers but some cool stuff [03:38] shai_: probably -fr or -f -r, dunno what -f-r will do [03:38] and the burner is /dev/sg1 according to wodim --devices -- just the one dvd drive [03:38] irctc084: yeah see the link on booting from liveCD to access encrypted home folder [03:38] irctc084: most likely your best option there [03:38] Ascendion: and you tried /dev/sg1 ? [03:38] ya thats what I used for the command you gave [03:39] stargate sg-1 :O [03:39] Ascendion: run 'eject -T' until it opens, then run it again until it closes [03:39] sorry. [03:39] Ascendion: then try again [03:39] k [03:39] Ascendion: or stop wasting your time now and use a USB stick instead [03:39] reiso -- I'm about 1500 miles from the machine and the owner doesnt have a usb stick to sacrifice :) [03:40] Ascendion: sure sure :p [03:40] wafflejock: i just need to login in order to access to the encrypted folder? or i need the encrypt key? [03:40] irctc084: I would imagine the key but not familiar with encrypting home folders, I don't do it for this reason [03:41] geekmasterflash: some packages could not be installed... the followinf packages have unmet dependecies: xserver-... [03:41] Ascendion: have you tried just willing ubuntu onto it :) [03:41] Ascendion: you're using sudo, right? [03:41] irctc084: Looks like we found your problem [03:42] wafflejock: thank you i will try just as last resort [03:42] geekmasterflash: miss dependecies? [03:43] irctc084: Yeah, you are missing depedencies for your graphics card, thus why you are getting a nice black screen. You need to fix the broken dependencies [03:43] geekmasterflash: the complete text is: xserver-xorg-vide-intel : depende: xserver-xorg-core (>=2:1.12.99.901) [03:43] irctc084: I belive you can try sudo apt-get -f install [03:44] irctc084: To fix it [03:44] geekmasterflash: 0 updated 0 newly installed 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded [03:44] resio I did "sudo bash" before I started this mess -- eject -T gives "ioctl: input/output error" but I'm able to access the disc for read if I insert a burned disc [03:44] Ascendion: alright, well, that doesn't sound great [03:45] Ascendion: define access [03:45] thats why I'm here -- very confused :) [03:45] access as in view and copy files from the disc [03:45] Ascendion: you want to burn so you can install to the same box? [03:45] yes [03:45] geekmasterflash: the previous error says: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages [03:45] Ascendion: you want to reinstall Ubuntu? [03:45] irctc084: You done broke it good. [03:45] yes -- full clean wipe -- [03:46] Ascendion: why? (real quick) [03:46] irctc084: Try sudo apt-get update [03:46] irctc084: Then try sudo apt-get install -f [03:46] just to get up to date before installing the apps that are going on this box [03:47] irctc084: If that doesnt work, missing dependencies may not be resolvable [03:47] Ascendion: why not update without reinstalling :p [03:47] maybe this can help? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphow-to-removeinstall-and-reconfigure-xorg-without-reinstalling-ubuntu.html geekmasterflash [03:47] Ascendion, You can booth the iso from grub 2 if you like. [03:47] geekmasterflash: same but this time 7 not upgraded [03:47] boot* [03:48] reiso -- wasnt aware that update in place was possible [03:48] Ascendion: yes of course [03:48] ooh wilee-nilee was thinking about that for clonezilla how? [03:48] Ascendion: what version is it? What version do you want? [03:48] on 12.04 want 13.10 [03:49] irctc084: At this point, you're beyond my skill level to assist. :/ I'd try the suggestions on that link, but unless you can get the dependencies in order I am sure what else I could suggest. [03:49] It's complaining that it's finding some kind og GPT table or something like that [03:49] it sounds strange that i'm on a shell and there is no way to acceed to the encripted folde via console? [03:50] what does that mean? [03:50] geekmasterflash: thank you again i really appreciate your help [03:50] irctc084: Uh, burn an iso to a dvd and liveCD it? [03:50] yes that is what i'm going to try now [03:50] IncrediblePony: It means you try to dual boot on a protected disc [03:50] and what do I do if I don't have any discs? [03:50] IncrediblePony, Has the computer ever had W8 on it? [03:51] Ascendion: I guess the upgrade path for that particular jump would be pretty tedious, even though it shouldn't be :p [03:51] Ascendion: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [03:52] anyone have a good way to generate entropy for gpg creation if you only have access via shell? no mouse - etc [03:52] could have saved so many DVDs :) [03:52] well, reinstalling a Unix system for a reason other than changing hardware architecture is a bit silly [03:52] but yeah, you could have [03:53] reisio: eh just thinking clonezilla [03:53] geekmasterflash: wafflejock i'm inside the encrypted folder !!!! [03:53] oh, diff convo :) [03:53] wilee-nilee: no it hasn't [03:53] only w7 [03:53] what does aptitude -y full-upgrade do exactly? does it help with custom packages? [03:53] reisio: no in reply to the ISO booting thing... meaning I can boot from clonezilla iso without burning it, good tip [03:53] geekmasterflash: wafflejock sometimes the thing are so easy that we can not realize straight away! [03:54] IncrediblePony, The W8 factory installs are on uefi computers with gpt partitioning, I have seen a few W7 this way. The partition tables are set for gpt and a reloading of standard partitions will throw an error like this. [03:54] wafflejock: ah [03:54] irctc084: good to hear it [03:54] wafflejock: or you could just use all the stuff clonezilla has without booting into a new environment :p [03:54] wafflejock: do you want me to share how? [03:54] reisio: yeah but it's nice and makes less mistakes than me [03:54] :p [03:54] reisio: I've been using rsync recently with cron [03:54] wafflejock: :) [03:54] reisio: but nice to have clonezilla for an occasional full shot [03:55] anyone have a good way to generate entropy for gpg creation if you only have access via shell? no mouse - etc [03:55] IncrediblePony, An apple computer? I'm just trying to track down any gpt possibilities, apples are partioned with gpt. [03:55] irctc084: indeed [03:55] nullsign: Hit keys at random? Draw playing cards? [03:56] moppy: i only have access via shell.. [03:56] wilee-nilee: what can I do to make this go away? [03:56] moppy: i think it's annoying i need to use a GUI to make a GPG key.. [03:56] moppy: there ought to be a more clean way [03:56] nullsign: I'm sure you could use ambient noise or the like in a similar fashion but not sure about anything out of the box [03:57] IncrediblePony, Answering questions is a good start so we can be sure what we do is appropriate. ;) [03:57] nullsign, gpg --genkey? [03:57] moppy: correct [03:57] wafflejock: the best I've got is doing this - for i in {1..1000000}; do echo $RANDOM; done [03:57] but since /dev/random isn't really random.. im not sure how safe this is? [03:57] wilee-nilee: Sry, didn't see your question :P - no this is an ASUS computer of the rog gaming series [03:58] IncrediblePony, You have a live ubuntu CD? [03:58] or usb/dvd [03:58] nullsign: Hit keys at random? Draw playing cards? [03:59] nullsign: I don't think I really understand the need for entropy in this scenario to advise on how much it matters or not [03:59] wilee-nilee: I'm using USB atm trying to install ubuntu, I've been using UUI and unetbootin to install my ubuntu iso on the USB [04:00] nullsign: some advice here http://www.thingy-ma-jig.co.uk/blog/22-01-2010/generate-entropy-gnupg [04:00] IncrediblePony, UUI do you mean UEFI, and is that what you want? You still have W7? [04:01] UUI meaning Universal USB Installer, and W7 is gone.. I've been trying with and w/o W7 on my pc [04:01] wilee-nilee: same error every time [04:02] IncrediblePony: yeah I've used MultiBoot ISO and UUI before a bit but had much better luck with discs in general [04:03] IncrediblePony, Cool use this app, bootrepair to run just the bootinfo summary, it will tell us some key info on the gpt error post the the url to that summary. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [04:04] wilee-nilee: but I have no OS atm, will it work if I boot from USB just as a portable? [04:05] IncrediblePony, Yes, take a look at the link, it tells you how to run it from the live ubuntu usb. [04:06] IncrediblePony, What ai want is just the bootinfo summary it is on the gui, it generates a web link post it. [04:06] I* === geekmasterflash_ is now known as geekmasterflash [04:06] I need help. I have Ubuntu 12.04. Screenshot of my desktop: http://imgur.com/NNlwey3 What I would like my desktop to look like: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Ubuntu_12.04.png === waigani_ is now known as waigani [04:06] basically my goal is to get those cool buttons on the left and the nicer bar at the top [04:07] Boneheads1999: it's unity [04:07] Boneheads1999, Dude your stupid to run that OS you have no ides what is there. [04:07] idea [04:07] Boneheads1999: as already suggested you should just download fresh Ubuntu from the site and you'll be good [04:07] bonehead is right. ;) [04:07] wafflejock Yeah I am totally up for doing that.. but I have no idea how to. Could anybody link me to it or [04:07] Boneheads1999: http://www.ubuntu.com/ [04:08] Boneheads1999: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [04:08] Boneheads1999: Either way works 12.04 will have slightly longer support since it's a 5 year supported release but either one should be fine === Mercury_J is now known as haha [04:09] Wafflejock: Okay. I'll go ahead and download Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit [04:09] Boneheads1999: just download the file there then follow the instructions linked on the left of the download on how to proceed... basically you're just gonna burn this image to a disc then boot with it in the drive and follow the steps [04:10] Boneheads1999, Make sure the hardware is up for running 12.04 from a thrift store it may be to old to even boot a pae kernel or powerful enough to run it. [04:10] I have like 1 GB RAM if that means anything, lol [04:10] Boneheads1999: what wilee-nilee says is true be sure the hardware is up to snuff [04:11] Boneheads1999: means you have like 1 GB RAM [04:11] Boneheads1999: you will be better off most likely with Xubuntu or Lubuntu, something with less graphical overhead... perhaps the GPU is okay though [04:11] Boneheads1999, Thats good, I would just wonder about the chip, and age is all, my comments are basically so you don;t waste your time and use the install that will work. [04:11] you may* [04:12] failure is learning though. ;) [04:12] wafflejock wait a second [04:13] wafflejock I don't have a disc drive [04:13] wafflejock i'm laughing [04:13] Boneheads1999: no worries see the link reisio pasted up above [04:13] Boneheads1999: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [04:13] Boneheads1999: optionally can go the USB route but as I said to others here, haven't been very lucky with that myself [04:14] geekmasterflash: can you please tell me wich is the shell command to run the xorg? [04:15] startx [04:15] ok, thank you [04:16] uh [04:16] it should be sudo service lightdm start [04:16] * wilee-nilee hears Frank Zappa's coneheads in the back ground [04:18] wilee-nilee: I'll go to bed... I'm too tired to get any more done [04:19] Lol, startx doesnt work on ubuntu??? [04:19] IncrediblePony, Sure do your self a favor though and run that bootinfo and use the ubuntu forums for help. [04:19] wilee-nilee: I ran the boot repair but it just claimed success and no link, so I have nothing to give you === simpleirc is now known as Guest51189 [04:20] hey guys, how do i install a GUI on ununtu? this dedicated server is pretty much blank.. [04:20] IncrediblePony, You loaded the ppa and used just the bootinfo summary?

I'm so tired I can't focus [04:22] wilee-nilee: the bootinfo is what? and where do I access it? [04:23] IncrediblePony, Cool, well that script will give important info on the gpt error. The gui of the bootrepair has a bootinfo button you will see it on the web page. [04:23] Well [04:23] How do I know if I have GRUB2? [04:24] sorry gtg [04:24] wilee-nilee: okay, thank you :) I'll see if I remember it for tomorrow [04:24] wilee-nilee: nn everyone [04:24] IncrediblePony, Cool. [04:24] Hello [04:25] Is there any simple, easy, non-annoying way to stream audio from ubuntu to dlna? [04:26] how can i mount a fat32 usb drive via shell? [04:27] nick savorywatt === wilee-nilee is now known as Beldar === Beldar is now known as wilee-nilee [04:30] gedit is annoying, how do I make it stop creating extra files with ~ prefixes ? [04:30] It has filled my whole file system with garbage === wilee-nilee is now known as Beldar [04:30] Or at least, save it somewhere /tmp [04:35] So, as i may assume you already know that those ~ prefixes are "backups" i just learn to deal with the fact that some smarty did me a favor and made it to where a backup copy gets saved automatically, and i can delete if i want to :-) means i need to remember to groom the FS as i go when i make changes to config files :-P === geekmasterflash_ is now known as geekmasterflash === Beldar is now known as Fyodorovna [04:37] fahadash: http://askubuntu.com/questions/83026/prevent-gedit-from-creating-files-with-the-tilde-suffix === Fyodorovna is now known as Beldar [04:38] nightdemon666, I can manage my own carefulness, no thanks === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [04:45] what command do i run to install ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10? [04:45] MajSlayer: You run "sudo do-release-upgrade" [04:45] thanks Nothing_Much === david is now known as Guest73682 [04:47] fahadash: just use nano or sublime text or geany if you don't like how gedit does things [04:47] fahadash: or vi or vim if you like modes [04:47] I only use sed [04:48] I recently started using jedit for some stuff too it's kinda nice [04:48] used it for doing some XML cleanup and the regex search and replace helped a lot [04:50] I just use vi [04:50] wafflejock: hello mate === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [05:04] lotuspsychje: hiya lotuspsychje [05:06] !umask === Sebastien is now known as Seb_bday [05:07] Abicus: you can PM ubottu [05:07] Abicus: though it does not know umask [05:07] Ah, didn't think about that. I did see it didn't know umask [05:09] Abicus: yeah just figured I'd let you know, I occasionally check it for things [05:10] It's been a great help for me learning :) Is there anyway to just acquire it's database of links? [05:11] Abicus: I've heard of such a thing. Yes. [05:11] SchrodingersScat: Love the name. A little dark but clever. How might I find this database? [05:12] Abicus: All I know is someone here knows it. [05:13] !bot > Abicus [05:13] Abicus, please see my private message [05:13] hello i have a dell inspiron 1526 and the audio isnt appearing to work for the microphone , the video is working and sound is working but not mic for usb webcam or input jack mic [05:13] Awesome! Thank you IdleOne [05:14] Eliyahu: install alsa-mixer [05:14] and now i know too [05:14] Until the forgetting :( [05:14] The more you know * [05:15] Eliyahu: sudo apt-get install alsa-mixer [05:15] Hi I am experiencing some issues with my Wireless I can [05:15] wafflejock: thank you [05:16] Eliyahu: when you run it (alsa-mixer) you'll see volume sliders and 00 or MM under each one of the sliders, use arrows to move around and M to mute or Unmute use F6 I believe for switching cards [05:16] !details|georgij, [05:16] georgij,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [05:16] Eliyahu: np [05:17] Hi I am experiencing some issues with my Wireless I can't get it working no matter how much I try, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 Kernel. I can't find it with "ip link" when writing "lspci -k" I find it and it says it's using kernel module: "wl". [05:18] georgij: does it show up in iwconfig [05:18] wafflejock: Hi, no it doesn't :( [05:19] georgij: think you may not have the right drivers loaded then... use your lspci output to find the appropriate driver is your best bet [05:19] after it installs [05:19] you type alsa? [05:19] Eliyahu: alsamixer === talsamon is now known as Guest62513 [05:20] wafflejock: It says that the "Kernel driver in use: wl" from using the command "lspci -k" [05:20] Eliyahu: it's very basic graphical interface but is the low level audio controller so if stuff is muted here not sure that it works in pulse or jack [05:20] !alsa | Eliyahu [05:20] Eliyahu: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [05:21] georgij: sorry not sure if that means that it's actually working or it's just the currently loaded though [05:22] georgij: I have an Intel 6235 N wifi and it uses iwlwifi [05:22] Eliyahu: sorry believe the package was alsa-utils I imagine you got that figured out though [05:23] wafflejock: I have BRoadcam BCM4311. I try to rmmod wl but it just hangs and I have to terminate it with the break character. [05:23] !broadcom | georgij [05:23] georgij: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:23] georgij: you have pretty much the worst wireless chip for linux, it's not easy to get working sometimes [05:24] Ben64: fml? lol [05:24] Ben64, my mileage varies then. I used the 10.04 ISO for source, editied a couple of files in terminal and fired up my bcm 4312 wifi without even a reboot. took about 90 second [05:25] cfhowlett: hence the "sometimes" at the end of my statement :P [05:26] georgij: i'd suggest getting a cheap well supported usb card, or maybe install a more recent ubuntu [05:26] ^^^ agreed. [05:26] georgij: yeah probably Ben64 suggestion is best [05:27] georgij: I've bought a few wifi adapters just for OS compatibility in one case OS X but usually aim for something Linux friendly too [05:27] i couldn't get my broadcom to work at all on my laptop with 12.04, but 13.10 worked out of the box [05:27] the preloaded drivers in the kernel for newer versions has been much better recently [05:28] this is what i got that works on everything ----> www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=8072 [05:28] Ben64: nice monoprice is mostly amazing [05:28] indeed it is [05:29] Ben64: it is what you pay for but when you don't need much it's great [05:29] you get much more than what you pay for at monoprice [05:29] back [05:29] ok so how do I know if I have Grub2 [05:29] Ben64: yeah basically what i meant... sometimes the stuff is a bit cheapy but really how classy can a mini USB wifi adapter get === darkclown is now known as davion [05:29] Boneheads1999: what version of ubuntu did you install [05:30] Boneheads1999, run grub-install -v [05:30] by the way, 1.99 = grub2 [05:30] Ben64: I'm currently downloading 12.04.3 (an .iso file) [05:31] Beldar: thanks [05:31] anyone else that can't open empathy contact list? [05:32] Beldar: here were my results [05:32] user@ubuntu:~$ grub-install -v [05:32] grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-21ubuntu3.10 [05:32] that be grub 2 [05:32] ok thx [05:33] hello [05:33] OK since I don't have a Disc Drive [05:33] and want to install Ubuntu [05:33] I'm following the Grub2/ISOBoot [05:33] instructions [05:33] which are: Download and store Ubuntu ISOs [05:33] Create a GRUB 2 menuentry for running the ISO directly from a file [05:33] Install Ubuntu directly from an ISO file via the GRUB 2 menu [05:33] Boneheads1999: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:34] Boneheads1999: yup sounds like it should work [05:35] What are some good livestreaming solutions for Ubuntu? [05:35] BlueProtoman: explain livestreaming? [05:35] Boneheads1999: not sure where those instructions are from but thats overcomplicated. you can either write the iso directly to a usb drive, or use something like unetbootin to do it [05:35] wafflejock: Streaming from my desktop, that is. [05:35] wafflejock: it said it couldnt find package [05:35] BlueProtoman: there is XBMC there is VLC [05:35] smplayer [05:35] Eliyahu: yeah sorry I corrected up there at some point, it's sudo apt-get install alsa-utils [05:35] wafflejock: I don't quite think we're on the same page. I meant streaming the contents of my desktop (i.e. I want the world to be able to see what I'm doing). [05:36] Kind of like what artists sometimes do. [05:36] BlueProtoman: ah I'm not sure about live streaming [05:36] Ben64: well wafflejock said that using a USB drive is less reliable than grub2 [05:36] BlueProtoman: vokoscreen is good for capture [05:36] Boneheads1999: it works fine [05:36] Boneheads1999: it's been my experience USB is not reliable I'm not familiar with the Grub2 method just to clarify [05:37] hmm [05:37] wafflejock: Does it stream to the Internet, or does it just record to video? I want to stream to the Internet. [05:37] BlueProtoman: just meant for recording [05:37] wafflejock and Ben64: well I have a flash drive should I just do that? [05:37] wafflejock: Hrm, that won't do. I want streaming. [05:37] BlueProtoman: perhaps something on Justin.Tv or Ustream not sure though [05:37] yeah, its simple [05:37] beware of those more than willing to help you here the especially the longer it takes. [05:38] wafflejock and Ben64: and I have a flash drive, but it has some stuff on it. There's plenty room for the .iso, but just sayin'. [05:38] Ben64: experience has been not all flash drives end up booting or not all BIOS support boot from USB or work [05:38] Beldar: what does that mean? [05:38] easier to use usb than overwriting the mbr without a way to fix it [05:39] wafflejock: its already green in the synaptic package maneger an installed [05:39] Eliyahu: can just run alsamixer from command line then to get in there [05:39] All I want to know is if I should just go ahead and do the USB drive method [05:40] Boneheads1999: yes [05:40] Boneheads1999: it's definitely worth a shot if you've got a flash drive around [05:40] ok. [05:40] Boneheads1999: I was just saying my experience has been bad with it so giving an alternative [05:40] wafflejock: ok it opened up the mixer now what do i do to test the mic/ [05:41] Eliyahu: you just want to look around in here for the mic inputs and make sure they don't have MM underneath them [05:41] all of the 0s have green and white and red levels all the way up to the top of the box [05:41] an the nm has nothing in it [05:41] in the case that it ends up not booting or something from the USB drive, will there be any way to fix it or will I be completely screwed? [05:42] Eliyahu: F6 to change sound devices too, look around in the interface to see what you can do... basically you just want to make sure the mics aren't muted here though [05:42] mic boos 100/100 [05:42] Boneheads1999: take out the usb drive and nothing will have been changed [05:42] oh ok Ben64 [05:42] Eliyahu: you can use audacity to easily pick between different mic inputs to check if they're working [05:42] Eliyahu: sudo apt-get install audacity [05:43] audacity is open [05:43] Eliyahu: it's a nicer graphical interface and has a little mic drop down for selecting your inputs so test from there then [05:43] Eliyahu: you can also use arecord at the command line... there's some good arch docs on it [05:43] Eliyahu: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture [05:45] one more question. Once I have a bootable USB drive, should I shut down the computer then stick it in? or stick it in on the login screen.. or what do I do? [05:45] Eliyahu: I had similar issues... turned out one of them was the USB camera was hooked through a USB hub, the other part was my external mic had actually broken... so hardware failure I mistook for software failure [05:46] Boneheads1999: well if you want to boot from it, it needs to be in the computer during boot [05:46] ok [05:46] Boneheads1999: it should be in there on boot, you can select either boot options at your BIOS POST screen or in the BIOS setup changing the boot priority [05:47] I've had no problems installing to a USB drive [05:48] ObrienDave: yeah I have like 5 bootable USB flash drives I use for playing with random distros, it works most of the time, but not on all computers, particularly not on older machines [05:49] wafflejock: i am middle manning the commands to a new user i set up the ubuntubox and shipped it to that person and now they put their own webcam in and it doesnt have audio but my webcam i tested the audio on worked [05:49] well, no, the computer must support booting from a USB HD, of course [05:50] ObrienDave: right but even so I've had situations where some pariticular flash drive doesn't work but then another one in the same machine works it's just more wonky than with a DVD or CD [05:51] This is true, but you cant update the system on a CD or DVD [05:52] ObrienDave: well I just use it for install then toss it... it's a bit of an unfortunate waste but worth it for my time [05:53] ObrienDave: I just trust that bootable CDs/DVDs which have worked for more than ten years now are all good everywhere always.... except when you have no DVD drive [05:55] Eliyahu: would verify they aren't using a hub, even so mine worked in Audacity actually it just wasn't working in google hangouts [05:56] Eliyahu: beyond that you can use the stuff in the alsa guide I linked from the arch wiki to use arecord and the like to capture audio if you suspect any problems in audacity, do you see the mic input in alsamixer? [05:57] Eliyahu: when you hit F6 in there you should see a USB option if you don't I don't think it's seeing the webcam mic [05:59] wafflejock, also true, that's why I keep a few DVD-RW for installs ;)) [06:01] This session appears to be running under ssh, It is not recommended to perform a upgrade over ssh currently because in case of failure it is harder to recover. [06:01] ^ something to really worry about? [06:02] MajSlayer: well it's true if ssh can't start back up and you don't have physical access... [06:02] aye says it will make a second shh on port 1022 [06:02] but alas, being its a dedicated server, how else can i upgrade it? [06:03] MajSlayer: just saying would make backups if possible [06:03] aye [06:03] MajSlayer: I use AWS they have options for snapshot [06:03] MajSlayer: but like you say it's the only way [06:03] yeah not sure what else to do currently [06:03] being it has nothing on it really, most likely run fine.. [06:04] i'll give it a go, what the hey, figure 13.10 is better? [06:04] MajSlayer: [06:04] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes [06:05] MajSlayer: I dunno I've stuck with 12.04 most places still so far [06:05] aye [06:05] MajSlayer: used some PPA to get the latest PHP and Apache but don't see the advantage personally [06:05] heck i'll just give the upgrade a go [06:06] 13.04 was a little flakey to me [06:06] i liked 12 myself [06:06] so maybe .10 will be better [06:09] 54 seconds to download 250mb not bad.. [06:10] ATI video card here. is there a way i can quickly switch between radeon and fglrx modules (after reboot of course) or must i continuously uninstall and reinstall fglrx? [06:11] maybe blacklist the module and remove the driver line from xorg.conf or something [06:12] Hi all , Any Linux admins Here to give me Good linux Contents for My Blog [06:12] babinlonston: this is the ubuntu support channel, any other topic does not belong here [06:12] * ObrienDave jealous of MajSlayer connection speed ;P [06:13] ok [06:13] yeah hope this OneStep server turns out to be good [06:13] but its really my connectin per say... [06:14] sounds reasonable. lets reboot and see what happens [06:14] I just installed a 64-Bit Ubuntu 13.04 ISO into an Acer Aspire 5534 [AMD Anthalon 64] the installer said everything went through properly, and asked me to restart... when I restarted, it cannot find the Operating system [06:14] babinlonston, An?d this relates to ubuntu how [06:15] And* [06:15] Belder i need Ubuntu Contents so what asked [06:15] babinlonston, You want some cute little penguins.

[06:19] what one should i choose? i'm guessong the sda1 boot one correct? [06:19] guessing* [06:20] MajSlayer: should be sda [06:20] okay so first choice [06:20] Beldar: :p Better you Buy some Sheeps and go to field [06:20] just don't want to mess up this upgrade [06:21] babinlonston, What ever you heard I own no wool. ;) [06:21] havent used linux in 10 years..lol well not over ssh and on a remote computer [06:22] * Beldar whistles the coneheads [06:22] lol [06:22] thought that nick was familiar ;) [06:22] hehe [06:23] how do i set up remote administration in ubuntu 13.10 [06:23] well here goes, reboot required, hope this goes well [06:23] How would I reload the new shell (just changed to bash) in the middle of a bash script? [06:23] i want to remove an ubuntu box i am needing to fix at another persons house [06:23] i want to remote an ubuntu box i am needing to fix at another persons house [06:23] greeting fellow users [06:23] Eliyahu: just once is fine [06:24] ObrienDave, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-U_wH-fVGU [06:24] YouTube Title: Frank Zappa - Conehead, Live Performance, 1978 Views: 3,456 Length: 9:16 User: tomtiddler1 [06:24] Seb_bday, Your a bot [06:25] my netstat -tap shows netbios-ssn and microsoft-ds where that came from [06:25] OOOO, a Zappa fan, I LIKE you already LMAO [06:25] ObrienDave, Beldar: #ubuntu-offtopic [06:25] Is this impossible? Switching from sh to bash mid-script? [06:26] how about the bot in our midst [06:26] tell #ubuntu-ops === tvoss_ is now known as tvoss|test === tvoss|test is now known as tvoss [06:28] Maybe just give me a hint? I'm having a hard time Googling for the answer. [06:29] x1337807x: maybe ask #bash ? but they don't like questions about not-bash [06:29] I'll give it a shot, thanks [06:30] x1337807x: start the script with "#!/bin/bash" and the rest of the script should be run with bash then I believe [06:31] How do I install multiple conky widgets? [06:32] Tm_T: Good call, thanks. [06:32] anyone knows here [06:32] x1337807x: you can find more info about that for example from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29 [06:32] metasploit [06:32] anyone [06:33] hey room === siva is now known as Guest34772 [06:34] linuxlite1983, there is a channel with that name. [06:34] ok thaanks [06:38] How can I install multiple conky widgets? [06:39] #conky [06:42] hello? [06:42] I have a question regarding openssh [06:43] I want to shutdown a server and when I log into the super user profile on the server using ssh I type: shutdown -h 03:00 to make it shutdown at 3AM [06:43] but I want to close off the terminal and shutdown my own computer [06:44] would closing the terminalcancel the command I sent to the server through ssh? [06:44] I need help with installing AMD Catalyst control center, does anyone have experience with this program? [06:44] !anyone | syrious [06:44] syrious: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [06:45] nooblet: i've never used shutdown that way, you could try it and find out. or, use something like screen on the server [06:46] How would you do it? [06:46] YOu want to shutdown your server at 3AM through Openssh and go to your bed [06:46] well i never turn my server off, kind of defeats the purpose of a server. but i would use screen [06:46] well dang installing grub onto sda, well not she wont boot [06:46] shutdown the computer you used to log into the server via SSH [06:47] ok === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [06:50] nooblet: can possibly setup a cron job to shutdown at 3AM [06:50] MajSlayer, what exactly is it doing or not doing? [06:50] nooblet: not sure how the delayed shutdown works though it may be fine too [06:50] Could you tell me how to do that? [06:50] well i got it to reboot [06:50] ben64: ubottu: I know I've seen you guys on here before, I am very super extra new to the whole of the linux world. I literally have no idea what I'm doing and trying to learn the best I can as I go along. I know it's not the most recommended way to go about learning something new, but it is how I learn. Sadly, when looking for help through the ubuntu forms, chats, and other various support avenues, I am bombarded by people who continuously [06:50] treat me either like an idiot, or explain things to me as if I have been doing this for a while and know what it is you all are saying. I apologize if I offend anyone or get on anyones nerves, but for once I would like for someone to treat me as I am, a guy, trying to LEARN something, and help me accordingly [06:50] had to use LEAP3 from siglehop and tell it to reboot from there [06:50] just didn't reboot from ssh i guess [06:50] nooblet: haven't used it for shutdown but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [06:51] but what it wasnts doing was allowing to to ssh back into it, even after 5 mins [06:51] guess putty closed on me before some other question came up, no idea.. === Freejack is now known as Freejack_ [06:52] syrious: the purpose of the !anyone trigger is to get you to actually ask a question. asking if anyone has used "____" doesn't really help. also, ubottu is a bot [06:53] syrious: you get a mix in a random online community I try to be nice to people, it's hard though because sometimes you try to help people out and then they turn on you as though you owe them something, don't be offended if people expect you to know something or to try and figure it out for yourself, Ben64 was just trying to get you to explain your problem [06:53] syrious, and going on a "no help" rant does not help either [06:54] syrious: the IRC channel has it's own etiquette part of that is when you come here for help you need to include as much detail as you possibly can and explain what you don't know... or else no one can help you [06:54] what command would i type to see what version of Ubuntu i've upgraded to? [06:54] MajSlayer: lsb_release -a [06:54] thanks wafflejock [06:55] MajSlayer: np [06:56] hmm i dont think it has that package installed... [06:57] how do i download lsb_release package? === LoganG is now known as LoganG|off [06:57] MajSlayer: its not a package but a command to type in terminal [06:57] 13.10... Whenever I close the laptop lid and open it back up again, the login screen doesn't appear, and I'm forced to restart... is that a known issue? [06:58] I've got the power options set to suspend on lid close, which is what I want it to do [06:58] tkelley: maybe check settings in dconf editor, see if you can fix it there [06:59] not finding too much online... lots about black screens, but this is my regular screen with no content...mouse works too [06:59] tkelley, or try and moving the mouse, press a key, etc. [06:59] MajSlayer: yeah never had to install it honestly not sure [06:59] No command 'lsb_release' found from 'lsb_release' package [06:59] MajSlayer: try to just install lsb_release [06:59] k [06:59] ty [06:59] are you sure you have ubuntu? [06:59] ObrienDave: yeah, did that... it's worked for me forever on 12.04 [06:59] can't even Ctrl-Alt-F1 [07:00] it's just frozen, except for the mouse [07:01] install missing operand after 'lsb-release' [07:01] MajSlayer: what does "cat /etc/issue" say?

[07:03] and waffle once again:) [07:03] Boneheads1999: http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Flash-Player-on-Ubuntu [07:03] MajSlayer: de nada [07:03] yeah until my book arrives from amazon [07:03] i'm dangerous:) [07:04] first remote server i've played with only via ssh [07:04] MajSlayer: I have books I'm still dangerous [07:04] yep thats how it is:) [07:04] gotta be dangerous to learn [07:04] imo [07:04] MajSlayer: to some degree... good to have stable systems too [07:04] no risk, no reward [07:04] oh yeah now thats for sure [07:05] just saying you often do learn things by your mistakes [07:05] MajSlayer: indeed [07:05] granted its a horrible way to go about it.lol === hotfloppy is now known as Guest37171 [07:05] MajSlayer: VirtualBox is great for mistakes [07:05] give a guy a heart-attack.lol [07:05] Ben64: ok fair enough, I did not know that, I will remember that in the future. As for my question, I have an HP 255 g1 notebook computer, I have installed Ubuntu 13.10 on it, the Graphics card does not seem to be pushing the same quality graphics as it did when the computer was on Win 8.1 (the original OS that the computer came with) when I go through the Additional drivers option through the settings tree it only gives me 4 different opti [07:05] ons, and through all of them, nothing seems to change. I have tried to install the AMD Catalyst control center that goes with my hardware specs and even managed to get the correct drivers through AMD's website. I have tried to run a software update through the command line with no luck, and when I run the .run file through gedit (I have no idea what this program really does) it gets all the way through to almost the end, and then fails due [07:05] to some sort of scripting error ( I have not copied the error itself yet, and it will prolly be another 8 hours before I can get the error again if I restarted it now) so my question is this: is there a faster, simpler way to install the software that my hardware calls for? if so, what is it and can I please have it explained to me as if I am in an introductory class? [07:05] yeah need the heart [07:05] syrious: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:05] lotuspsychje & wafflejock: Looks like I already have "Adobe Flash plugin". === Guest37171 is now known as PencintaKucing [07:05] last version i use of linux was Mandrake to run a ISP way way back [07:06] Boneheads1999: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [07:06] everything has changed soo much [07:06] well shit, yet another thing I didn't know [07:06] lotuspsychje: Not yet. I'll go do that one second. [07:06] Boneheads1999: do about:plugins in your browser bar to see plugins === PencintaKucing is now known as hotfloppy [07:06] can I please mention now that I have absolutely no experience in IRC either?

Shockwave Flash is listed there. [07:07] Boneheads1999: says version 11,2 something [07:08] Boneheads1999: you did install your grafix driver correctly aswell? [07:08] wafflejock: Yeah I have version 11.2 [07:08] syrious, you just have to be fairly polite about it [07:08] Boneheads1999: hmm... sounds like it should be good then dunno [07:08] wafflejock: I'm gonna go ahead and do the restricted extras [07:08] lotuspsychje: Hmm... that link still says they don't have the option for the lid switch event: "After rebooting Hibernate menu reappeared in Menu. But still unavailable in Power Settings -> when the lid is closed" [07:08] syrious: well installing the drivers from the amd site is not supported and shouldn't be done. the Additional Drivers dialog is the correct way [07:08] Boneheads1999: I usually prefer chromium-browser myself but I have it in my firefox and it's working [07:09] !ati | syrious and reading this could help too [07:09] syrious and reading this could help too: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [07:09] tkelley: not sure for 13.10, but i would go dig in dconf editor and check some energy options there [07:09] I'm having an insane amount of problems with 13.10... is that a common thing? [07:10] tkelley: it all depends on the machine also [07:10] I really can't remember having this many problems with 12.04 [07:10] Ben64: alright, however, the last time I tried reading that, I got a headache, lol. that and most of what it says sounds oddly like 90% of what I've already tried [07:10] tkelley: many others have no issues on 13.10 [07:10] tkelley: I think 13.10 is still a bit shakey for some... others have said it's solid, not enough experience here to say [07:10] I'm on the same machine as my 12.04... only thing I've done is swapped out the HD for an SSD, and added some RAM [07:10] tkelley: what kinds of bugs? [07:10] tkelley: think at it this way: you helping the community to bug out [07:11] that shouldn't affect this type of thing, should it? [07:11] tkelley: out of curiosity, where are you from? [07:11] tkelley: well if the RAM has problems you could definitely get errors [07:11] syrious: plz use this channel for ubuntu support questions [07:11] well, right now, it's that when I shut my lid and open it back up again, I don't see a login screen [07:11] I'm in Boston [07:11] fair, was just curious [07:12] yes, I know it's late :P [07:12] syrious: we have a nice chitchat channel at #ubuntu-offtopic [07:12] I've been struggling with this install for a few days... my productivity at work has tanked :( [07:12] tkelley: always backup, always [07:12] lotuspsychje: I will keep that in mind [07:13] oh it's not about backing up [07:13] tkelley: best way is to grab 1 problem at once, and fix it in support here [07:13] tkelley: then don't shut the lid? or change it so shutting the lid doesn't activate any power saving features? [07:13] yeah with the SSD boot time isn't a big deal [07:13] maybe unity-wteak got energy tweaks aswell? [07:13] firing back up a few apps isn't a big deal, if you use KDE it restores the session [07:13] Ben64: But on the same machine, I've been shutting the lid on 12.04 for at least a year... And I know that one of these days it's gonna overheat in my bag :P [07:14] then set it to shut down when the lid is closed? [07:15] no, no... I don't think I'm being clear... sorry :( My issue is that now that I've *up*graded, I'm having to go through all these hoops to do things the same way I used to [07:15] tkelley: with your ssd speed it will be speed boot anyway :p [07:15] I know, I know... it's like 20 seconds, which is awesome :D [07:15] but still... it used to be 5 to open the lid, you know? [07:15] tkelley: try a clean install, maybe beter luck or wait for 14.04 to come out [07:15] tkelley: that's why I was saying you should back up before you upgrade so you can go back more easily.. just made the same mistake myself... had rsynced everything but wish I had just dd'ed it [07:16] haha this is a clean install! I've done a fresh install about 8-10 times today [07:16] tkelley: and whats why i stay on LTS versions [07:16] tkelley: oh ok [07:16] blargh [07:16] went from 13.04 to 13.10 and ran into some graphics issues I didn't want to deal with... so downgraded back to 12.04 [07:16] * lotuspsychje skipped 13.10 :p [07:16] how big of a difference is 12.04 and 13.10? is it worth it? [07:16] (vague question, I know...sorry) [07:16] tkelley: I don't think so... look at the changelog [07:16] tkelley: all depends on what your needs are [07:17] tkelley: if you are the guy, liking to test new versions.. [07:17] just for java development, web dev... apache, mysql, etc [07:17] nothing fancy [07:17] tkelley: no not really I do web dev too have a different PPA for the latest PHP but that's about it [07:17] cartainly nothing graphics-intensive [07:17] tkelley: look at the changelog though [07:17] ok, I'll do that [07:17] tkelley: if you want longer stable support, stick to LTS like Ben64 suggested [07:17] tkelley: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes [07:18] lotuspsychje, tkelley: yeah, especially since the non-lts versions are only supported for 9 months now [07:18] right [07:18] so in short, I'm not weird if I were to go back to 12.04... :) [07:18] no [07:18] that would be sane [07:19] like, that's actually a thing that some people do [07:19] ok [07:19] haha [07:19] tkelley: 14.04 is about to come...so good news for lts world === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:19] is that LTS? [07:19] long term support [07:19] !lts | tkelley [07:19] tkelley: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [07:19] !lts [07:19] yep, every 2 years [07:19] beat me to it [07:19] no, i know what it means [07:19] :p [07:19] just didn't know if this version was it [07:19] yeah every 2 years so 12.04 then 14.04 [07:19] sweet [07:19] even.04 is LTS [07:20] I gather that the benefit there is that there's more dev effort on it? [07:20] it's supported for longer, so more things get fixed, etc? [07:20] much longer support, more focus on stability, and way less upgrading to do [07:20] tkelley: it all depends on your machine... i had not 1 issue on 13.04 on my machine [07:20] tkelley: yeah just means it's focused on security upgrades for longer [07:21] yeah, I think every issue I've had has been with graphics [07:21] nvidia [07:21] tkelley: pretty much all graphics or wifi issues [07:21] most problems are with laptops really [07:21] tkelley: everything else generally works fine [07:21] they have funky hardware setups [07:21] and many machines run out of the box too! [07:21] do the LTS releases do more to address those types of problems? [07:22] yeah I've installed on lots of random machines doing IT work just too see if it works, most of the time the answer is yes minus wifi [07:23] wafflejock: last laptop i did had uefi, and just installed 13.04 out of the box, no issues, no bios tuning.. [07:23] tkelley: LTS at least with 12.04 seems to work a bit more reliabiably in general, it was just a good release [07:23] cool [07:23] hello [07:23] tkelley: experience will vary with different hardware though for sure [07:23] How can I remove all files in a dir matching *string*? [07:23] that settles it... I'm downloading it now :P [07:23] tkelley: that doesnt mean 14.04 will not have problems with your machine at the launch === Guest99575 is now known as KacanuH [07:24] right [07:24] * xmetal agrees with lotuspsychje, 100% [07:24] shijo: welcome mate, what can we do for you?

[07:26] lotuspsychje: it says nothing about pattern matching [07:26] lotuspsychje: 15.04 will XX [07:26] I'll believe anything after spending two days banging my head against a wall [07:26] Ben64: :p [07:26] ;) [07:27] [07:27] lol ... smeagol on the ubuntu development team ... just sitting there going "precissssssssse" .... then getting yelled at for not finishing the code he was suppose to get done [07:27] i can see it now [07:27] How can I remove all files in a dir matching a string? [07:27] user__: so you want only specific files deleted from a folder? [07:28] yeah [07:28] all containing the same string [07:28] user__: rm /path/to/directory/*foobar* [07:28] thanks [07:29] Ben64: btw they are .file files/dirs. Getting "no such file or dir exists" errors [07:30] user__: or here with a specific extension: http://askubuntu.com/questions/104831/how-to-delete-all-the-files-with-a-certain-extension-from-a-folder-and-all-of-it [07:30] user__: Are you using the full path? [07:30] user__: you want to delete directories too? [07:30] yeah directories too [07:31] then add -fr after the rm [07:31] and be very careful with it, one wrong move will delete everything [07:31] yeah especially with a sudo [07:31] it's the nuclear detonator of linux, that and dd [07:31] awesome, thanks gusy [07:32] !yay | user__ [07:32] user__: Glad you made it! :-) [07:32] pretty much anything with sudo and wildcards is full of danger [07:32] Ben64: true [07:32] people here have chmodded the entire partition to 777 and stuff [07:32] heh yeah that's no good either [07:32] yikes lol [07:33] hmm makes me think, i was looking for a bomb command to zero my hd's fast way if fbi rings my door [07:33] lotuspsychje: not really fast but dd does the trick I believe [07:33] lotuspsychje: think a hammer is faster though [07:33] wafflejock: will it not be recoverable after? [07:33] hmm not a command but you could install windows 8 on it [07:33] :P [07:34] a guy put magnets around his doorframe on SVU one time :P [07:34] the hammer? [07:34] xmetal: lol [07:34] dd is the fastest and best way to zero a drive, but you can't do it from itself [07:34] and the cops obviously realized like 3 feet too late haha [07:34] Ben64: will photorec not be able to recover after dd zero? [07:34] lotuspsychje: not at all [07:34] Ben64: nice [07:34] EMP is the best solution [07:34] its full of zeros if you did it right, so you can recover... zeros [07:35] 007 that sucka [07:35] hammer is way more effective [07:35] Ben64: got it [07:35] can retrieve info from hammered drive [07:35] not the way I would do it LOL [07:35] plus gives you a reason to buy a high amperage coil and capacitors you've been eyeing, which will give the FBI a reason to come [07:35] heheh [07:35] yes indeed, there are special companys who recover magnetic spindle [07:36] hmm this didn't ruin the pc, but just kicked a guy i know offline ... everytime he used his microwave, his wifi internet connection would die [07:36] lol [07:36] lol i can see someone hammering the heck out of the HDD, then remembering they just ordred a pizza and it's the delivery guy [07:36] LMAO [07:36] lol [07:36] (parinoid) [07:37] Guys, who has experience in dual-booting win8-64 and Ubuntu LTS 64?

[08:15] i would to see the desktop [08:15] ok, nm [08:15] not only the through shell [08:15] !vnc | lonmarlon [08:15] lonmarlon: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [08:16] should i also install vnc on my server? aside from my pc === integricho is now known as Guest15667 [08:16] lonmarlon: yes [08:16] aah ok i'll try [08:16] lonmarlon: you need VNC on both sides search for SSH tunnel for VNC [08:16] lonmarlon: that way can keep it all through SSH if you'd like [08:17] thanks i understand [08:21] looking for onscreen keyboard for kde??? [08:24] sometux: apt-cache search keyboard | grep -i kde === waigani_ is now known as waigani [08:40] Hi guys :) Is it possible that, with an HP 250 G1 (notebook), with only one video-card (Intel), I get screen shutdown at Ubuntu 13.10's boot? [08:40] Both live and installed version... [08:40] And 13.04 too... [08:40] if you're saying that happens, I'd have to say it's possible, yes [08:41] reisio: lol yes :) Happens... Why?? Is it possible that depends on UEFI? [08:41] DarthDepa: I doubt it [08:42] Which may be the problem? [08:43] A not supported video card? [08:44] DarthDepa, pretty low spec machine. you might find it's happier with lubuntu/xubuntu. [08:44] If I connect and external monitor, works fine [08:44] DarthDepa: look around during bootup for an option called 'nomodeset' [08:44] and if I remove it, works with laptop monitor [08:45] Is there an official mysql 5.6 package for precise? or any official mysql 5.6 package for that matter? [08:45] DarthDepa: so it works, but only after you connect an external monitor & disconnect it? [08:45] !mysql [08:45] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. [08:45] reisio: yes [08:45] hi all I am running ubntu-server 12.04. I have two call two scripts in my /etc/rc.local file to be started at boot however only one gets executed how can I get both to execute ? [08:45] ok, I've got a new problem - my machine hard-freezes when coming up from suspend. Some cursory googling shows others with similar problems. Where do I do now? [08:45] omri: nope [08:46] er, what do I do* [08:46] :\ [08:46] DarthDepa: is there a display on/off Fn+F# key combo on the keyboard? [08:46] reisio: no :( [08:47] reisio: there is only the possibility to switch between monitors... but not works... [08:48] i used the app on pendrive linux's site to make ubuntu bootable and persistent on a usb stick. now ubuntu wont boot and i need an important file from the persistent storage [08:48] what can i do? [08:49] reisio: no problem with Windows 8 and 7... [08:49] reisio: the notebook is new... [08:49] reisio: just unpacked... [08:50] DarthDepa: doesn't tell you much that it works in Windows [08:51] reisio: XD I told you only in order to exclude hardware problem :) I hate Windows... [08:51] reisio: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201301-12667/components/ [08:51] :p [08:52] TazmainianDevil, it may help understanding your problem if you give us the pastebin link to your /etc/rc.local file. [08:52] reisio: means that is supported, right? [08:53] varunendra, um well my rc.local calls two cripts I made, let me upload them as well. [08:53] DarthDepa: dunno, looks that way [08:53] reisio: which way?? :) [08:54] the way you described, "supported" [08:54] would installing TeamView be a good idea to ssh into a dedicated remote server, would it allow me access to a desktop? or would it still just be console only? [08:54] reisio: I don't know if is a "support" issue... :( If I remove the external monitor, works fine... [08:54] you said :p [08:54] reisio: maybe lightdm problem?? but I trought with GDM and not works at all [08:55] reisio: no, I ask you :) [08:55] DarthDepa: I'd try booting http://sysresccd.org/ and seeing if there is a different result [08:55] that would rule many other things out [08:55] it also has many boot options that could rule even more things out [08:55] varunendra, http://pastebin.com/dhpFDgxF [08:56] reisio: so, you suggest me that live and see if screen works? [08:56] DarthDepa: yup [08:57] reisio: I will check :) And come here to tell you result... [08:57] ok [08:58] Let me rephras, I am running ubntu-server 12.04. I have two call two scripts in my /etc/rc.local file to be started at boot however only one gets executed how can I get both to execute ? http://pastebin.com/dhpFDgxF [08:58] TazmainianDevil, do you background them? [08:59] Sven_vB, how do I get the first one to background ? The crucible one backgrounds itself [08:59] TazmainianDevil, is it the "perforce.sh" script that doesn't get executed? [08:59] varunendra, no the crucible-start doesn't get executed [08:59] TazmainianDevil, add " &" (space, ampersand) at end of both lines. also, make sure your bash scrit starts with #!, not just !. [09:00] +1 ^^ [09:00] has anyone set up a virtualized environment with ubuntu? and mind explaining how to manually set up shared folders [09:00] Sven_vB, it does start with a # just the copy that was being stupid. Do I need to add a & ad the end of the cd line as well ? [09:01] TazmainianDevil, no. just in the RC file. & makes the left-side command run as a background job. [09:01] Sven_vB, awh I see what you mean let me try [09:01] Bu [09:01] Hi [09:02] slut_tits, change the name please. this is a family friendly channel [09:02] TazmainianDevil, also there are some points where you can optimize performance and stability of your scripts once you learn more about bash scripting. [09:03] nothing bad in this case, though [09:03] Sven_vB, I will have a look, these scripts are currently just to get two program running at boot time. === asus is now known as Guest206 [09:04] programs * [09:04] What's the equivalent of visio in ubuntu? === waigani_ is now known as waigani [09:04] the_drow: I believe koffice and libreoffice both have alternatives [09:05] Hello [09:05] Emi_: 'lo [09:06] the_drow: oh yeah koffice is calligra now [09:06] libreoffice draw / calligra flow [09:07] Sven_vB, okay the perforce one worked like a charm, the curcible one said it was starting but didn't launch correctly. Is there a way I can delay it being executed ? [09:07] the_drow, looking for flow diagrams? [09:07] Is there any difference on calling scrips from /etc/init.d from calling them with invoke-rc.d??? Why shuld I call them one way or the other???? [09:08] andreiiar: you should probably call them with sudo service FOO [09:08] andreiiar: ...because that is how you're intended to [09:09] TazmainianDevil, after, cd, sleep 10s [09:09] I was told to run them directly from init.d folder but I've seen people calling them with invoke-rc.d. Nobody uses service [09:09] hi all i have been trying to read atr valuse using pn533 nfc reader,using libnfc and pcscd,when i started deamon it shows me http://pastebin.com/MKDVDfsb can you please help me [09:09] Sven_vB, I mean I want to delay the curcible-start one ? [09:10] TazmainianDevil, "sleep 10 && exec /Crucible/bin/start.sh" [09:10] TazmainianDevil, sorry, confused them. replace line 16 with ( sleep 10s; /etc/init/crucible-start ) & [09:10] TazmainianDevil, don't sleep in the main process of your rc or you will delay the whole script. [09:11] Sven_vB, oops [09:11] xD [09:11] however ( .. ) & makes all those go to background, including sleep. [09:11] Sven_vB, never thought about that delay thing, thanks for pointing that out :) [09:12] varunendra, so I put "sleep && exec ... " in the crucible-start ? [09:12] TazmainianDevil, just read what Sven_vB said about it after my msg [09:13] Sven_vB, I put the sleep in my rc.local and it worked lol. so it goes /root/perforce.sh & new line sleep 20 new line /etc/init/crucible-start & [09:13] Hi guys [09:14] TazmainianDevil, that is varunendra's solution, which will delay your rc. that is unelegant, and might probably earn you warnings about bad startup performance once you have analysis software for that. [09:14] hi. i created a shortcut for matlab in /usr/share/applications/ and now when i start it from the unity lens it runs and then shuts down again after a second or so. when i run the same command in the terminal it works well. did i miss anything? [09:14] TazmainianDevil, yup, I agree completely with Sven_vB [09:15] Sven_vB, yeah before you said don't put it in the rc.local file I had already done that and rebooted. [09:15] TazmainianDevil, ok. then try better with ( ... ) & [09:15] I feel stupid now. I just borrowed the"Official Ubuntu Book" CD, thinking it was an Ubuntu tutorial but it was actually a distribution of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS XD [09:15] Sven_vB, so with the curcible-start file would would it be "sleep 30 " new line " exe ..." ? [09:16] allstarsnorks2: but since you're online, you can get anything [09:16] TazmainianDevil, well, you can do that, but if you're not maintainer of the file in /etc/init/, don't touch it, or you get edit conflicts on updates. [09:17] ( sleep 30s; /etc/init/crucible-start ) & <--- should work just fine [09:18] Sven_vB, where would i put what you just said about the ( sleep ...) ? [09:18] this way, sleep is not in your rc process, because the & makes all the ( ... ) go to background, including sleep [09:18] you'd put that in your RC [09:18] replacing line 16 of your pastebin [09:18] Sven_vB, awh I see. What about be the best way to get thing to start at boot time ? [09:18] is it really necessary to have a SWAP partition? [09:19] i think the latest fashion is to wirte upstart jobs [09:19] Sven_vB, I'm not sure ubuntu-server 12.04 has that yet ? [09:19] You can run without swap, but it's more effecient to have a small amount of swap available unless you're running on very small partitions on an SSD or something like that. [09:19] allstarsnorks2_, no. if you have 2 GB RAM or more, you usually won't want a swap. [09:20] allstarsnorks2_: they're pretty useful, even when you don't need them for day to day operations [09:20] allstarsnorks2: necessary? no. useful, yes [09:20] 2GB no swap?! [09:20] TazmainianDevil, i don't know details about upstart, just read it somewhere. [09:20] my browser alone takes almost 2GB ram :P [09:20] GnubNix, but with an SSD you wouldn't want to swap in anycase [09:20] if you want to hibernate you're usually going to want swap, for example [09:21] I'm really happy to find out that it is legal to distribute Ubuntu. [09:21] hibernate never cleanly works for me, anyway. (even with a swap. ;-) ) [09:22] allstarsnorks2_, its open source you allowed to modify and distrubute your version of it [09:22] by the way, i want to wish Ubuntu an advanced 10th anniversary [09:23] angel4tim [09:23] reisio: Oh found it. Thanks! [09:23] TazmainianDevil, SSD lifetime isn't a problem anymore. At least not on a simple workstation machine. you will be hard pressed to hit a write lock even if you tried. I prefer to have a little swap available. Lots of people don't, but if i can afford the space then i'm happy to do it :) [09:25] GnubNix, would you happen to know if the vertext 3's lifetime isnt an issue? Then how is that lifetime affected if you use parted magic using secure internal wipe to clean it before you reload ? [09:26] TazmainianDevil, in a twist, use a cheaply replaceable SSD for just swap and nothing important. this way, if it breaks, no big deal. [09:26] linux is so frustrating... [09:26] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Pretty nifty [09:26] jsonwhite: nah [09:26] Can anyone give me a good link to understand how to create and view users as well as user groups ? [09:26] jsonwhite, yeah. real pity that there's no cool OS out there. [09:26] Ubuntu 12.04 says I havw 2GB Disk space, but I have 40GB! [09:27] Sven_vB, true, I mean there are those hybrid drives now with the ssd's on [09:27] TazmainianDevil as far as i know the secure erase function just flips a switch in the controller to set all the nand chips to 0. Wether or not each 0 would count as a write is a good question. [09:27] allstarsnorks2_, are you using gparted to prepare partitions for install? [09:27] no, I'm on Ubiquity rn [09:28] let me correct myself, commandline is frustrating.... [09:28] allstarsnorks2_, i made good experience with managing them in gparted before starting ubiquity. [09:28] i have 1GB memory ... this is my #free -m result here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6452417/ ... is my all memory are almost used ? [09:28] jsonwhite, why that? [09:28] GnubNix, that is true, I mean with a normal HDD you can refresh the surface using spin right , hard drive regenirator or even just a nwipe [09:31] gui makes it so easy to move around files... it probably spoiled me... declaring directories and learning new functions take too long... so many errors, can't even figure out what went wrong half the time [09:31] Installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a real burned CD takes a hella long time. LOL [09:31] jsonwhite, for moving files more graphically, have you tried midnight commander? [09:32] is there a sed -i (inline) equivalent for awk? [09:32] *-i (in place) [09:32] TazmainianDevil I have used Spinrite to fix a drive before actually :). Not a bad product. I've never used the "refresh" functionality though. As for your vertex 3, i'm not 100% up to date on all brands, but I read an article on Anandtech where they said the Samsung 840 Pro which i currently have has a lifespam of about 20 years with 20GB of writes a day or something like that. You can have a read here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6459/sam [09:32] #awk [09:32] sung-ssd-840-testing-the-endurance-of-tlc-nand [09:32] GnubNix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:33] ubuntuAPT: INFO: Quitting due to inactivity [09:33] nope. it's commandline iirc [09:33] jsonwhite: I really struggle to understand how to move files around with a GUI [09:33] I get the 403 http error with a default apache2 installation on ubuntu and accessing the server IP in the browser without path. How to fix this? [09:33] how do you know which little box is which? [09:33] bn`: well, 403 is permission denied, isn't it? [09:33] jsonwhite, it's pseudo-graphics on the command line, like norton commander if you know that [09:33] GnubNix, well with spin right you can fix the bad sectors and then with hard driver regenerator you can refresh the survace prett cool [09:34] bn`: so maybe look at the logs and see if you can work out what it was trying to do [09:34] gordonjcp: yes why is the default installation with the "it works" index.html in it 403? [09:34] TazmainianDevil Ok, good to know thanks :) [09:34] jeez, spinrite, there's a blast from the past [09:34] Sven_vB: let me ask, if i really really spent some time learning command line, how long would it take me to feel comfortable with it? right now I can't even mount a sharefolder in virtualbox (my starting point) [09:34] jsonwhite, if you don't yet have mouse support on your command line, check gpm [09:35] ok thx.. there.. [09:35] Time to learn the terminal depends on the person. understanding the file system structure will help a lot though [09:35] jsonwhite, it's the other way around. it's about how much lifetime you waste clicking the same buttons again until you're frustrated and want to start automating stuff. [09:37] Sven_vB: well for me, it's about trying to get the right tools/ setting up a developing environment... trying to get into programming... also feel free to explain what would you even need to automate... [09:39] jsonwhite, to estimate years, may i ask how much time you can devote to learning programming? like, are you a student using evenings and weekends? [09:39] GnubNix, the linux bible should help anyone learning the file stucture or hak5 video on it [09:39] I meant the OS alt video on it [09:40] Sven_vB: yup student, can use evenings and weekends devoted to programming, to be frank, havent been too productive with my time [09:40] morning, is there any way to take screen from Ubuntu login screen? [09:41] TazmainianDevil Well i don't mean that you have to be an expert, but just understanding that Linux doesn't use the WIndows system (C:, D:, E: ect.) And that / = root and how you would navigate through a directory, for example how you get to your home folder from the terminal... [09:41] TazmainianDevil Any book with lots of info would be good of course, but keeping it simple in the start is the best bet. Find a nice to the point tutorial on the net would be a good start [09:42] jsonwhite, i'd estimate it will take 2 years till you have a firm grasp, and ten years before you're on freenode irc average. the more you get into it, the more you will like to have a choice between GUI and CLI, and even start to combine them. [09:42] GnubNix, for anyone that needs to understand it good tut : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qQTXp4rBEE [09:42] jsonwhite: it'll take you minutes to get your head around using the CLI [09:43] jsonwhite, you can speed up if you manage to delay visual gratification and fast-forward repeat the most important parts of computer hardware history, thereby learning how data processing evolved. [09:43] jsonwhite: everything takes "--help" as a parameter [09:43] use it [09:43] TazmainianDevil Yea something like that would be good. http://bit.ly/cgHQxg that is also a good explanation of the file system. [09:44] jsonwhite: man pages are good too [09:44] jsonwhite, have you alrady selected which programming languages to start with? [09:45] Sven_vB: well learning python and webdev ( html, css, and mostly javascript) [09:45] jsonwhite, ok. for hints on JavaScript, come to #Node.js [09:45] TazmainianDevil What's the linux bible :P [09:46] i'll go there anyway now ;) [09:46] GnubNix, its a book on linux guides you how to install it , and so on. [09:46] hey, `sudo apt-get update` on my vagrant 12.04 amd64 vm gives me 'unable to connect to archive.ubuntu.com'. it connects to security.ubuntu.com fine however [09:46] reisio: well... good and bad notice...

[10:59] what happens when we place software breakpoints in our source code === JoseeAntonioR is now known as jose [11:02] what happens when we place software breakpoints in our source code [11:03] how do I find out where JRE is installed? [11:04] hey [11:04] yeyeman: which java [11:04] how could I know if a package x was installed properly or not with apt-get? [11:05] yeyeman: /usr/lib/jvm/... [11:05] ronin: apt-cache policy [11:05] if I'm not wrong :v [11:05] what happens when we place software breakpoints in our source code [11:06] if it says "isntalled" i assume everything was right even I got some java vm errors in the installation [11:06] I already have Lubuntu occupying all my hard drive, if i want a dual boot can i do it , simply reserving some space to window in HD and the install VIsta ? [11:06] Guest9203: stop repeating so often, maybe give more info, maybe go to a programming channel? [11:06] UrielVigilant: yep [11:07] the most difficult thing about java programming is figuring out how to set up eclipse [11:07] UrielVigilant: you'd need to resize the ubuntu partition. and why in all that is holy would you install vista willingly? [11:07] yeyeman: get eclipse in the eclipse siet [11:08] yeyeman: if you want to code android, there's some bundle/ADT at android site [11:08] thanks [11:08] Ben64: I love OnLive because i have an old specs laptop, but i love ultimate games that run wonderfull with OnLive . The joystick dont work with OnLive in PlayonLinux as i said . [11:09] UrielVigilant: install windows 7 if you must, but don't use vista, its the worst. and __try wine__ also check in #winehq [11:10] Ben64: I like egg [11:10] Iam afraid Windows 7 dont run on m,y laptop. Vista is actually a little havy [11:10] UrielVigilant: use xp :) [11:10] 7 will work on anything vista will, and better [11:10] * ObrienDave can find a ME install disk somewhere ;)) [11:11] not sure if it's a ubuntu problem, but ever since I went to 13.10, i cannot connect to steam's network [11:11] But i dont have conditions to invest on it for now . Iam not a pirate anyway . [11:11] anyone else having this issue? [11:11] UrielVigilant: oh, that's the problem, just create unallocated drive for your vista [11:12] maybe 10gigs [11:15] reisio, discussions about windows ME - what have i stumbled into? [11:16] what've you just highlighted me into... [11:17] bentinata : does it will slow Lubuntu perfomance anyway to have vista dool boot ? [11:18] why would it? [11:18] UrielVigilant: as far as I know, it willn't [11:18] no, they are in separate partitions [11:18] only one system is running at a time [11:18] UrielVigilant: except, because of that vista, your lubuntu will low on space [11:19] now you'll have a slow down in vista using vista [11:19] UrielVigilant: like, you only have 500mb space left on ubuntu /, it will slowing down your lubuntu [11:20] Jeaton Since Ubuntu 13.10 you are not able to conecet Steam anymore ? Are you talking about 13.10 final version or beta 1 or beta 2? [11:21] bentinata : that was one of the major reason i left Vista to Lubuntu, the anti defragamentation system [11:22] anyone can help me with partition problem? [11:22] bentinata : people say 5% to 10% disk free to dont slow down lubunt doesn it ? [11:22] UrielVigilant: yep [11:23] UrielVigilant: my ubuntu only had 6% disk free D: [11:23] UrielVigilant: but, it's okay (must often use apt-get clean, tho :v ) [11:23] hello guys can somebody help me out?

[11:28] not really [11:28] sudo service lightdm start [11:28] dont use startx on ubuntu. start the desktopmanager like lightdm on ubuntu [11:28] repozitor: don't know :v haven't go to CLI for a while [11:28] bentinata: that package is in 13.10 [11:28] I am not running unity, but I like the pretty windows provided by gnome-settings-daemon. However, this seems to start a compositor. How can I prevent compositing from starting? [11:28] philinux, i tried to open nautilus, but hit error [11:28] probably i forgot to use -q! [11:28] philinux: what package? [11:29] nautilus-open-terminal [11:29] repozitor, I use cli every day [11:29] repozitor: is a is a desktop installed?

[11:30] philinux, it doesn't do anything when I execute nautilus -q [11:31] lvleph, my students are so lazy [11:31] that's too bad [11:31] repozitor, so are everyone's students [11:31] hi to all.

However, this seems to start a compositor. How can I prevent compositing from starting? [11:35] lvleph: Well, not really, no. Ubuntu has its own repositories, packages, and so on and so forth, it evolved a lot and it's not compatible with Debian. This SteamOS on the other hand will likely just have different preinstalled packages. [11:36] theadmin, it was a joke [11:36] lvleph: Ah, okay, wasn't sure. [11:36] I have been using Ubuntu since 2006 [11:36] lvleph, try installing ccsm and disable what plugins you don't want launching to a minimal compositor [11:36] wheatthin, thankyou [11:36] lvleph: The "pretty windows" are provided by Compiz, which is both the compositor and the window manager Ubuntu uses, it's a two-in-one thing.

It seems to be a specific bug with xubuntu.

[11:43] yeyeman: They haven't, it's in the menus as well [11:43] yeyeman: View -> Show hidden files and Go -> Location [11:43] yeyeman: Keyboard shortcuts are just more... convenient [11:43] Yesterday because after uninstall a software center app game, the item doesnt disappear from menu i did typed on terminal : killall lxpanel : then typed : find ~/.cache/menus -name '*' -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm ; then typed : lxpanel -p LXDE & and then typed : lxpanelctl restart , then things come worses. Then i typed sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop, and the menu appear like.....new.....a [11:43] gain. then i uninstalled the app with sinatic and the item finally disappear from menu. The correctly way should be: install Kubuntu DEsktop and from there login : sudo apt-get remove lubuntu-desktop : and the install lubuntu desktop again , then login to lubuntu desktop again and then remove Kubuntu desktop ? [11:44] i was with Lubuntu 13.10 [11:44] instant headache ;)) [11:45] UrielVigilant: removing metapackags does not remove it's contents [11:45] how can I copy only two files from a folder in terminal?

[11:48] no [11:48] Xintruder: Yes, but hardly any of us actually work for the Ubuntu team, we're volunteers [11:48] Xintruder: No, we don't get paid or anything [11:48] ActionParsnip : The poin of the question is, if i was with Lxde Lubuntu desktop, with problems that i caused to it , but i was with it , and then and reinstalled it again with out purge it the old one, that means i have now duplicated files or something like that, bad for Lubuntu perfomance or so ? [11:48] i get this message so often lately: [11:48] Could not exec dpkg!

[12:00] why would you even attempt something like that [12:00] how to give static ip on ubuntu 13.10? [12:00] because there are no more updates on the OS [12:00] you know there's about as much support as trying to get an iPhone to run iOS right? [12:01] err [12:01] getting an iPhone to run Android [12:01] Freeman__: click the network icon -> edit connections -> choose yours -> click "Edit" -> IPv4 Settings [12:02] theadmin: let me try this thanks [12:03] dracarys you want me to keep you up to date how it works? i think its really interesting project [12:04] robin__: Linux on MacBooks is nothing but a time sinker [12:04] you're better off hackintoshing later versions of Mac OS X to run on that old machine [12:04] !ot | dracarys [12:04] dracarys: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[12:05] bazhang: I run both Ubuntu and Mac OS X, so I've done all the research robin__ has done, and a bit more on the subject [12:05] my conclusion is, it's not worth the time to try and get Ubuntu to run properly on the macbook platform [12:05] and I'm typing this on a macbook pro [12:06] dracarys, take the chat to another channel please [12:06] theadmin: do we have to do anything in the routes option that appears under the edit connections option :) [12:06] Freeman__: Not sure, you'd have to ask your ISP about that. If you aren't told, then probably no. [12:06] theadmin: this is a local network no iSP involved [12:07] is there a solution to the mouse-wheel scrolling problem in gEdit and in pdf viewer? Most applications seem to work fine with the mouse-wheel but gEdit & the pdf viewer (document viewer?) don't seem to even notice it scrolling. [12:07] Freeman__: Ah. Then probably not... You know, it's weird but I never dealt with static IPs, so don't take my word on this. [12:07] dracarys, I've never installed ubuntu on a mac, but as I understand it, it can be done. best source of info is the link above and the ubuntu forums for mac. [12:07] (nobody seems to be around at #xubuntu) [12:07] theadmin: anyone who knows anything about static ip ? Can you refer someone ? [12:08] In Xubuntu, is there a solution to the mouse-wheel scrolling problem in gEdit and in pdf viewer? Most applications seem to work fine with the mouse-wheel but gEdit & the pdf viewer (document viewer?) don't seem to even notice it scrolling.

[12:10] Freeman__: That kind of language isn't to be used here. No, not really. I know Linux pretty well, but...

[12:26] ActionParsnip, sandman13 xfce4 is just a metapackage. The dependencies must be removed manually [12:27] sandman13: now do sudo apt-get autoremove [12:27] varunendra i did this to remove http://paste.ubuntu.com/6453005/ [12:28] sandman13: if that does not then check xfce4 deps and remove in synaptic [12:28] Hello everyone [12:28] <[Gentoo]> hi [12:29] I need some assistance with a boot-repair [12:29] philinux when i remove xfce4 the background image of login screen is set to default is that normal?

But, when I do "echo DDIS > ../vgaswitcheroo/switch" and turn both on External monitor and laptop's screen, laptop's screen becomes "Very Bright" and I cannot decrease its brightness. So, how to change laptop screen's brightness when using discrete card using "echo DDIS >..." [12:31] Is FreeBSD better than Ubuntu? [12:32] <[Gentoo]> yes [12:32] Why? [12:32] <[Gentoo]> because [12:32] <[Gentoo]> it is [12:32] lol [12:32] sandman13, you have purged 9 items, while "apt-cache show xfce4" shows me 12 dependencies, including xfce4-settings (purging which I suspect may reset your background) [12:33] anyone able to tell me what I should do when I've run the boot-repair and I get the Boot-info text file? :) - cus I have no idea what to do with that information [12:33] [Gentoo], cmon freebsd is good in some ways and like mint it good in others [12:33] <[Gentoo]> TazmainianDevil: theyre entirely different [12:33] <[Gentoo]> stupid question to ask [12:33] !ot [12:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:33] varunendra when i reinstall the package i get the same old settings for the desktop any clue why? [12:33] [Gentoo], haha true, each has its application [12:34] like a heli and a car [12:34] sandman13 to remove program completely you have to purge ... [12:34] apt-get purge program-name [12:35] [Gentoo], what is the diff between distrobution and iso freebsd download ? [12:35] <[Gentoo]> dno what you mean [12:35] <[Gentoo]> theres bootonly, full iso etc [12:35] <[Gentoo]> none of its on topic lol [12:36] [Gentoo], sorry I know its off topic lol just gonna try freebsd [12:37] sandman13, no idea why. But you may have to purge all the dependencies as cfhowlett said. [12:37] how to temporarly turn off java in firefox? [12:37] cfhowlett: what i did was "sudo apt-get --purge remove xfce4" and it said no such package [12:38] anyone able to tell me what I should do when I've run the boot-repair and I get the Boot-info text file? :) - cus I have no idea what to do with that information [12:38] sudo apt-get purge xfce4 [12:39] sandman13: run this to show what needs to be removed apt-cache showpkg xfce4 [12:40] sandman13, and if you've already remove it ... it's gone. to kill the config folders you need to run apt-get purge at the moment of removing your program. [12:40] cfhowlett, it is just a metapackage as per "apt-cache show xfce4" [12:41] sandman13, this gives me a clear list of dependencies : apt-cache show xfce4 | grep Depends | cut -d " " -f 2- | sed 's/, /\n/g' | cut -d " " -f 1 [12:42] does anybody know why cups is not counting the pages? [12:42] that a file is? [12:43] when printing it, it just tells me everything is 1 page, even whe its not [12:43] varunendra got the list and i should remove them isn't it? [12:43] Am o zona DNS da? Daca am un hostname care arata catre mai multe ip-uri, cand se face rotirea? Adica daca intreb de doua ori la rand, o data imi raspunde ca andrei.com e 4.2.2.2 si a doua oara 4.2.2.1 ??? [12:44] sandman13, I've never done it myself, just guessing logically :). Short answer - yes, I think so [12:44] !it [12:44] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [12:44] sandman13, and not 'remove', you should 'purge' them [12:44] Excusame pero parle Romano! [12:44] sandman13: yep sudo apt-get purge packagename as varunendra suggests [12:44] SupaYoshi: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue does the printer have a make and model? [12:44] SupaYoshi: why have you not given this detail already? [12:45] em [12:45] sandman13: the sudo apt-get autoremove [12:45] And it was a crude mistake. I mean I put the speak in other channel. [12:45] cus i didnt know ActionParsnip [12:45] the output is empty ActionParsnip [12:45] Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l is all it says [12:45] SupaYoshi: that's not empty then, is it? [12:45] hello [12:46] SupaYoshi: what is the make and model of the printer please? [12:46] in cups it says make and model: Samsung CLP-320 Series [12:46] ActionParsnip, thanks so mcuh so far.. sorry im a bit clueless on what info to provide [12:46] SupaYoshi: how did you install the printer? or did it autodetect and configure? [12:46] I'm trying to update nginx adding the ppa and with "apt-get install nginx" and at the end of installation I get: "Configuring nginx (1.4.1-1ppa1~lucid) ... | krapulat@Frases:~# nginx -v | nginx version: nginx/1.0.14". Does anybody know why? [12:46] What do you think of SuperSoup for a nick? [12:46] Through cups, autodetect [12:46] It prints, verything works ;) just... it doesnt count pages.. which is a shame [12:47] Krapulat: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [12:47] SupaYoshi: are there any bugs reported? [12:47] philinux: help me with this list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6453093/ [12:47] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS \n \l [12:47] Krapulat: and do you use a GUI based OS with mouse pointer and Firefox web browser? [12:47] philinux: is there anything that depends upon these items? [12:47] When I do "echo DIGD > ../vgaswitcheroo/switch" and switch to _only_ Laptop's screen I _can_ change laptop screen's "brightness". But, when I do "echo DDIS > ../vgaswitcheroo/switch" and turn both on External monitor and laptop's screen, laptop's screen becomes "Very Bright" and I cannot decrease its brightness. So, how to change laptop screen's brightness when using discrete card using "echo DDIS >..." [12:47] ActionParsnip: Nope. It's a server. [12:48] sandman13: just purge them one by one in terminal [12:48] in? /var/log/cups/page_log? [12:48] sandman13: if they already gone it will say so [12:48] Krapulat: did you use this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable ? [12:49] philinux: says the package is not installed [12:49] sandman13: ok do them all [12:49] Krapulat: or this PPA https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/nginx-stable-testing?field.series_filter=lucid ? [12:49] ActionParsnip: I used this: "add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable" [12:49] !info nginx lucid [12:49] nginx (source: nginx): small, but very powerful and efficient web server and mail proxy. In component universe, is optional.

[12:52] SupaYoshi: ah right gotcha so this is a network printer [12:53] yes! :D [12:53] but installed with usb on cups [12:53] and then the computers print through cubs, on the usb printer :) [12:53] SupaYoshi: what does the print preview show [12:55] philinux: none of them are installed [12:55] I would like to confirm if somebody else is having a bug that I'm experiencing with Unity's global menu [12:55] sandman13: ok then I would logout or reboot [12:55] when I depress Alt in any GTK+ application, the menu entries do not display on top [12:55] it does work on Firefox and Thunderbird though [12:55] philinux: let's see [12:56] SupaYoshi: also can you specify like print only page number 7 for instance and it does print the specified page [12:56] how can I force ubuntu to delete a partition no matter wtf process is using it - I m sick of getting "device is busy" - I dont care. disconnect al processes using it, whoever does, override whatever restrictions, just delete the partition [12:56] even fuser -km doesnt work [12:56] !language | tilerendering [12:56] tilerendering: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [12:56] that device is always "busy" [12:57] philinux: logged out and logged in [12:57] tilerendering, boot gparted and edit partitions to your heart's content [12:57] boot gparted ? what do you mean.

I m admin, unmount anad delete [12:59] cfhowlett: that´s the brute force solution, thanks for that already. but there msut be anotehr solution [12:59] philinux: that means when i reinstall the package then the previous desktop settings of xfce4 would not be saved right? [12:59] tilerendering, you can delete the partition using fdisk, for example, but it will not successfully reload the partition table if there's a partition still mounted in the device [12:59] is the brightness problem on 13.10 fixed? [12:59] dyu: no [13:00] if you mean gnome3/unity [13:00] xangua: any idea on when it's getting fixed? i'm on xfce/xmonad. it might be just an ubuntu problem. [13:01] thinking about just reinstalling 12.04, but it's too drastic. if a fix is around the corner, i'll just gut it out til then [13:01] dyu: is a gnome problem [13:01] cfhowlett: gparted worked ! thanks [13:01] tilerendering, have fun, be safe. === vipul_ is now known as bipul [13:04] would someone do me a favor a launch a GTK+ app like gedit, and then depress the ALT key and tell me if the global menu shows up for the application? [13:04] the only way to show the menu on my system is to type ALT+F10 [13:04] if I just depress ALT the menu does not display [13:05] it only displays in Firefox and Thunderbird when I depress ALT [13:05] I wonder if it's isolated to my system [13:06] sandman13: not experienced installing xfce4 [13:06] philinux okay anyway thanks for the help [13:07] dyu: what is this brightness problem [13:07] sandman13: no worries [13:07] <> [13:08] philinux: i can't adjust it. only happened when i updated to 13.10. it's always on full brightness [13:08] are there any working packages for Squid3.2 / Squid3.3 for the current LTS? [13:09] I am printing from Windows, print previews shows page 7 only [13:09] and in the jobs center on cups it says: 1 page printed [13:10] dyu: must be hardware specific I guess. I've an acer 1410 and Fn Brightness works as it should [13:10] I'm experiencing a bug where the system sometimes reboots when the shutdown dialog is brought up [13:10] Azerus: The version in the 12.04 repositories is 3.1 I think [13:10] Is there a good log I could see for debugging what is triggering the restart?

[13:25] Hello all [13:25] iBog, greetings [13:25] hi [13:25] suppagga@: not sure [13:25] philinux how do i hide folders? [13:25] Any know the best way to upgrade php? [13:25] suppagga@: I wouldnt have thought so though [13:26] sandman13@: rename with a dot . at the front [13:26] hey guys, is there a way I can tell apt-get to install specific libraries to a different directory? [13:26] iBog: why? [13:26] Jrib because it's old an insecure [13:27] any thoughts? [13:27] all should have the guest session. it's very useful. I LOVE GUEST SESSION [13:27] iBog: what ubuntu version are you using? [13:27] :) [13:27] 10.10 [13:27] philinux: folders of linux live usb [13:27] iBog: it's old and insecure [13:27] iBog: your problem is that you are using an unsupported ubuntu release. Upgrade to a supported version of ubuntu [13:27] !10.10 | iBog [13:27] iBog: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [13:27] alrighty bye bye :) [13:27] iBog, unsupported as in END OF LIFE [13:28] Kris thanks. Can I just manually download php and install it ? [13:28] sandman13@: should be same - a dot at front hides stuff ctrl h shows them [13:28] Jrib ^ [13:28] philinx thanks [13:28] iBog: you need to upgrade your OS. Your OS is insecure since it's no longer getting security updates. Either upgrade (/msg ubottu eolupgrades) or fresh install 12.04 or 13.10 [13:28] Jrib: I'll [13:29] hello [13:29] Plan an os upgrade but need to upgrade php first [13:29] aptget, greetings [13:29] newbie here [13:29] iBog that makes NO sense. you can and should upgrade before worry about php [13:29] iBog: doesn't make sense to do that imho. You would just have a new php version with an unsupported OS. Just upgrade your OS and kill two birds.... [13:30] So how do I do an os upgrade? [13:30] That just sounds like a disaster [13:30] iBog, at this stage, download the 12.04 iso, make a usb and clean install [13:31] iBog: if you upgrade from 10.10 you need to upgrade to 11.04, then to 11.10, then to 12.04 LTS (and then keep going if you want to reach 13.10). I'd advise a backup and fresh install at this point. [13:31] iBog, you can make a /home partition to save your data in first, though [13:32] So I can't just install a new version of php? [13:32] would you put a new engine in a car with no tires, broken axle and busted windows? [13:32] iBog: sure, you can. But as we've told you a half-dozen times now, you would still be running an old, insecure, and unsupported EVERYTHING ELSE ON YOUR OS [13:33] php? [13:33] iBog, why you would download new php for upgrading your OS? [13:34] Jrib: im ok with an older os only need to update php [13:34] * cfhowlett backs away from the thread ... [13:34] iBog: it's not that the OS is old. It's that it is unsupported: i.e. no security updates [13:34] Bipul I only want to update php [13:35] Kris doing an os upgrade sounds like more work. I need to update php ASAP [13:35] iBog: the OS should have been updated months ago [13:35] And then plan the os upgrade [13:35] !php [13:35] PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package. See also !lamp for integrated server PHP. The Ubuntu server PHP5 guide is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/php5.html [13:35] iBog: this is something I would do ASAP [13:35] Chapecó [13:35] iBog;~ a new php most likely will have dependencies that are newer too [13:35] #Chapecó [13:36] gelson, /join #chapeco [13:36] Jrib true. It wasn't and now I have to come up with a plan. Php update is critical due to a security issue [13:36] iBog, you're running 10.10. you haven't had a security update since ... years. but PHP is your security priority? OK then [13:37] iBog: my advice is for you to install a supported version of Ubuntu. That's going to be easier and probably faster if you already have proper back-ups in place than installing a newer php. If you want to ignore that advice, then you probably need to go compile php or search for a random repository with a newer more secure php... [13:37] Yes it is the priority [13:37] Jrib do you know the version of php supported on 10.10? [13:38] iBog: 10.10 is not supported [13:38] so there can be no version of php supported on 10.10... [13:38] Jrib. Ok. What is the most current version of php that is available for 10.10? [13:39] iBog: 10.10 isn't supported... [13:39] anyone else having issues running steam on ubuntu 13.10? [13:39] When 10.10 was supported, what version of php dis it support? [13:40] iBog, best suggestion: go to the php page, look through the backpackages and take your chances [13:40] it was working i think on 13.04 until I upgraded, I tried performing steam --reset, but I get the same results [13:41] iBog: I don't know why you're resisting the OS upgrade. It's a major flaw in your process that you should address. You're just going to have to do extra work because instead of an OS upgrade (which gives you a supported version of php on a supported version of ubuntu) you're gonna have to muck about with trying to install newer php with old libraries on an old, unsupported OS and then install a newer ubuntu [13:41] later anyway [13:41] i'm using Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS and dpkg have some dependency problems. Anyone can help me? Check the errors -> http://pastebin.com/BQWRzvRP [13:41] or that [13:42] kenlik: you should say why you are running this command at all. WHat did you do to make you want to run this command? Also, pastebin "apt-cache policy PACKAGE" for every package mentioned in your paste [13:45] kenlik, is there any other installation is going on ?. [13:46] good afternoon - I've got a question about the extent of support offered for the LTS versions [13:46] hi all, i was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to configure the "run command box" that pops out when pressing Alt+F2 [13:47] If a customer installed a later version of e.g. MySQL than was default packaged with LTS 12.04 - would that in any way reduce the amount of support they would receive (assuming they had a support contract) ? [13:47] bipul: Doesn't dpkg report an error in that case, saying that it could not acquire the lock? [13:48] sperrhaken: you are correct [13:48] hombretao: What do you want to do to it? [13:49] hombretao;~ alt f2 then type in fire [13:49] hombretao;~ as an example [13:50] jrib, Ok my first attempts was apt-get install libasterisk-agi-perl and it show dependency problems above === LinuxGold is now known as Linux_Goldl === Linux_Goldl is now known as Linux_Gold [13:50] jrib, 2nd try was apt-get -f install to fix the problem [13:51] kenlik: include libast... in your apt-cache policy paste [13:51] kenlik: I have a script which does a lot of package-fix-y things you can see it here http://rory.sh/fixpackages === Linux_Gold is now known as LinuxGold [13:51] andyhunt66: only packages in the official repositories are supported if that is what you ask [13:51] Rory, kenlik: i would not advise running that script [13:51] jrib: oh, why? [13:51] xangua - thanks - does the inclusion of a later package (which won't be supported) affect the support for the rest of the system? [13:51] Rory: that apt-get install -fy seems DANGEROUS. apt-get -f sometimes wants to do really stupid things [13:52] sperrhaken, sorry i don't get you? [13:52] Anyone know why I might get "initctl: Unknown job: php5-fpm" when trying to start php 5.5.6? [13:52] jrib: I've seen his apt-get -f [13:52] andyhunt66: if you mean you install or update a program out of official repositories and wordk for you good, but you are on your own [13:56] i just got disconnected for a second, ill ask again [13:56] bipul: My question was in reference to: "is there any other installation is going on?" [13:57] is there a way to choose which keywords trigger whihc applications with the Alt+F2 "Run command box"? [13:57] hombretao;~ no it just looks up installed apps [13:57] I just plugged a AvermediaTV USB 2.0 in my laptop. lsusb tell me ID 07ca:0026 AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. AVerTV [13:57] jrib, check this with apt-cache policy -> http://pastebin.com/EjAjEqur [13:58] how can i see if it is supported?? [13:58] hombretao;~ for example alt f2 then type in gnome [13:58] sperrhaken, oh i see. yes because i have faces such problem. [13:58] Eloy_: search for the 8 character hex id [13:59] Eloy_: have a look at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerMedia [13:59] in terminal?? [13:59] yeah, it shows a list of apps begining with genome. philinux [13:59] Eloy_: no, on the internet [13:59] zykotick9: yes i just read it, but mine is older than them [13:59] hombretao;~ thats all it does === Dark-Ace-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [13:59] hey can someone help me make an alias in bash? [14:00] macsplean: sure, what is the coomand and what alias?

You have a later version than what apt is complaining about [14:01] hombretao;~ what are you trying to achieve?

[14:01] macsplean: then to test, run: source ~/.bashrc [14:01] philinux: i want to press Alt+F2 and type "chrome" instead "google-chrome" to open chrome browser [14:01] macsplean: bashrc [14:01] philinux: also, its wont open neatbeans, it won't show up [14:02] hombretao: is that in Dash? [14:02] ActionParsnip: i think creating .bash_aliases is better then editing .bashrc myself. [14:02] ActionParsnip: not sure, how do i check that? :c [14:02] hombretao;~ would be easier to pin the app to the launcher [14:02] hombretao: are you using Unity shell?

[14:14] Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l [14:14] ls [14:14] ActionParsnip: (not sure if you're familiar with kvm) but, getting network working (in a non-NATed way) would be VERY challenging on ubuntu (ie. you can't use N-M i don't think, as it requires a bridge) [14:14] cyc: 13.10 ships with 3.11, you shouldn't need to install that kernel [14:14] zykotick9: not sure tbh, never used kvm [14:15] cyc: was this via updates, or have you installed a kernel you found on the web? [14:15] @dadrc biste noch da? der chat ist 2x abgeschmiert [14:15] auronandace true ... I've upgraded a few weeks ago to 13.10 but I've noticed today that 3.8 is still used ... that's why I installed it [14:15] ActionParsnip, apt-get, of course [14:16] cyc: if you unplug the device, wait a few seconds then shove it back in, is it ok? [14:16] It all started when I was trying to get kernel headers for 3.8 and then finding out I still use kernel from 13.04 for some reason ... [14:17] ActionParsnip, eh, I tried a few different devices already and checked in windows if they're still working. So no ... that doesn't change a bit :) [14:18] anybody using picuntu? [14:18] http://pastebin.com/6LPHiE8Z [14:18] digitlman: if it isn't official then it isn't supported here [14:19] ok thanks [14:19] this happens if I disconnect the mouse (it's a wireless one, but an old fashioned one with a cord doesn't work either) [14:20] Other usb devices seem to work fine, usb stick for example. [14:22] is it possible to change 12.04 GDM loginscreen to the newest one known from 13.04 http://i.stack.imgur.com/OfG75.png [14:22] so ... maybe I'm having problems because 13.10 install was an upgrade, not a clean install. Still ... a mouse is pretty basic stuff :) [14:22] robin__: 12.04 uses lightdm, not gdm [14:23] kenlik: Is it possible that you missed an error during the previous dpkg run? (The one before you were trying to install libasterisk-agi-perl.) Can you remember what you did then, maybe the logs can refresh your memory?

When i try to burn an iso to a dvd+r, it prepares to do it, the it fails. [14:32] Le_Bacon: Does it give an error message? Does it occur with any .iso file or just one in particular? have you tried a different burning application like brasero? [14:32] Le_Bacon, does your burner support +R? not all do [14:33] Using brasaro? [14:34] Rory: well it's zorin os 6.4 ObrienDave: I've tried -R too, it doesn't work either. so i don't know. [14:34] Le_Bacon: This is the ubuntu support channel not zorin [14:34] Le_Bacon: I think you accidentally joined the wrong channel :) [14:34] i have the problem in ubuntu. that's why i'm here. [14:35] Le_Bacon, have you checked the ISO with MD5? [14:35] yeah, it appears to come out fine. [14:35] i think. [14:35] lol [14:35] Le_Bacon: Can you try using the command-line tool "cdrecord" with the following command: cdrecord -v -pad speed=4 dev=0,0,0 path/to/your.iso [14:35] Le_Bacon;~ ah you're trying to burn an OS iso [14:35] hey, i'm kind of a n00b here [14:36] When burning DVD's with brasaro i think you need to install some additional libs. [14:36] dvineone: Not to burn a disk image (.iso) [14:36] in k3b? [14:36] k3b should burn it with no problems [14:36] agreed ObrienDave [14:37] hmmm... well, i've got a problem. [14:37] Le_Bacon: Can you try using the command-line tool "cdrecord" with the following command: cdrecord -v -pad speed=4 dev=0,0,0 path/to/your.iso [14:37] Le_Bacon;~ could be a bad dvd. [14:37] Le_Bacon: if it fails then the error output from that command will be useful [14:37] philinux: i've gone through a bunch of them [14:38] Le_Bacon;~ I bet - hates em I do - I use dvd rw''s now [14:38] hi [14:38] Le_Bacon;~ I mainly use usb stick now [14:38] Le_Bacon: You could use a USb flash drive instead of a DVD if you are trying to burn an OS [14:39] philinux okay. but will an old laptop boot from that? [14:39] Le_Bacon: Only you will know that [14:39] Le_Bacon;~ not necessarlity. Does k3b not show an error [14:39] okay [14:40] philinux yeah, it does. it says it's a problem with the medium. [14:41] Le_Bacon;~ use the command line stuff that Rory gave you ^^ might get more info [14:41] how old is the burner? [14:41] ive tried several mediums though, and none of them work. [14:41] it's on old dell, i think its 10 years old. [14:42] Le_Bacon;~ have you another machine to burn the iso on? [14:42] might be time for a new burner or at least clean the lens [14:42] yeah, but do you have a good method of transporting the iso? [14:43] Le_Bacon: a flash drive...? [14:43] Le_Bacon: At a pinch, your phone [14:43] how 'bout an other dvd? [14:43] its 1.6 gig i think so should fit on aphone [14:43] Le_Bacon: lol if you could burn DVDs you won't need to transport the iso [14:44] Rory;~ i think he means as a data disk [14:44] no, i just mean as a storage device. [14:44] Le_Bacon: So you can burn DVDs, but you just can't burn this iso? [14:44] Le_Bacon;~ that might show if dvd burner works worth a shot [14:44] Le_Bacon: Can you try with the command I gave you earlier? [14:45] @Rory: what do i put the command into?

[16:45] Ubuntu Customization Kit [16:45] Hey back in 13.04 I remember that there was a "/etc/acpi/lid.sh" script that would control what happens when you turn of your lid [16:46] It is no longer their.... [16:46] themysticgeek. there used to be an app to make custom live media , but my memory fails me :/ [16:46] anyone know where I can achieve the same thing in 13.10? [16:46] Over and above all, it's just another day. [16:46] vaskozl: turn of your lid? [16:46] just realised 20GB is not enough size for a partition if you want to build custom UBuntu distros because they are all 5GB+++ [16:46] Well afair it was a script that was run when the lid was closed/opened [16:47] @ObrienDave: thanks [16:47] vaskozl: It might have moved to udev. [16:47] So lets say I could have it write in a file, logging every time the computers goes to sleep and wakes up [16:47] moreover I could have it so that it doesn't go to sleep [16:47] when I close the lid [16:49] jhutchins_wk: so what would I do? [16:50] Hello Guys, I am using XUbuntu, and xfce is still saving my session when i ask it not to. How to fix this issue? [16:50] hey guys what's the best irc client for ubuntu?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:51] navetz: xchat is popular for gui, and irssi/weechat in terminal. YMMV [16:51] okay cool. I currently don't have a client so I was looking for a couple suggestions [16:51] some like HexChat [16:51] I'm just using the broswer irc webchat [16:51] !irc | navetz [16:51] navetz: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [16:51] ok so here is my question in another way: Where is the config that allows you to change the events on lid close, power button, etc. [16:52] i like xcgat [16:52] xchat [16:52] i use it on windows and linux [16:52] thanks everyone I'll give xchat a shot [16:52] some like irssi [16:52] anyone with xfce bug solution? [16:52] weechat [16:52] weechat is good [16:53] you'll like HexChat [16:53] howcome everyone starts arguing about a "best irc client" and then noone actually answers propper questions [16:53] weechat has lots of pluginx [16:53] Hey guys, how do I delete a file as root?

[17:07] rjzell, is you pc working right now? [17:07] Kaneo: you HDMI is OUTPUT, NOT INPUT [17:07] suppose that you are responsible of a server which has got more than 20000 users suddenly an organisation makes you a call and tell you that one of your users is now hacking our server and they give you a warning which if you won't stop him in 30 mins, we will attack your server (DDoS) and further more we will sue you as well.

[18:55] weeG: You might look into freenx, it's supposed to have superior performance. [18:55] okay...thanks :) [18:55] eugene_mac: The pciid is the eight character numerical ID that shows up when you use the -nn option on lspci. [18:55] eugene_mac. sudo lshw -C video , which graphics ? [18:56] eugene_mac: It's what identifies the device to the system and is useful in determining what drivers it can use. [18:56] its called vnc [18:56] jhutchins_wk: 10de:0fe9 [18:56] BluesKaj: Nvidia, 10de:0fe9 [18:56] btw is it possible to change the language of ubuntu on the fly or does it require re-installation? === parduse is now known as Guest16892 === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob === miguel_ is now known as Guest19772 [18:57] jhutchins_wk: or was it number [0300] (stands before NVidia) you've been looking for? [18:58] eugene_mac: That should work with noubveau. I wonder if you have some other driver already mounted? [18:58] weeG: its possible just navigate to system settings -> Language and install additional language [18:58] jhutchins_wk: nothing i would have mounted myself [18:58] weeG: you can change the language anyway you want [18:58] on the fly [18:58] eugene_mac: There's a lot of noise in /var/log/Xorg.0.log but you may be able to figure out what it's loading. [18:58] Can somebody help me adjust screen brightness [18:58] I've checked google and only solution I found was to install xBacklight (I did sudo-apt get xbacklight) and it installed and then it said to do xbacklight -set 50 which never did anythin [18:58] eugene_mac: Oh, and nouveau is not a kernel module, it's an xorg driver. [18:59] hi [18:59] ohai [18:59] For some reason, even though my user's umask is 0002, the umask actually being applied to new folders/files is 0022. [18:59] eugene_mac: So it wouldn't show up in lsmod. [18:59] Anyone run into that? [18:59] Anybody?

[19:00] padrino: did you try restarting? [19:00] jhutchins_wk: no, though I've just found it in Xorg.0.log [19:00] zykotick9: The high end cards actually have both kernel- and xorg- modules. [19:00] seanz a Sony Vaio, 4GB RAM, not sure of exact model, sorry [19:00] padrino. threatening isn't going to help you , some patience will ,. however [19:01] Arch-TK, yes, didn't work :-( Are there any alternatives to xbacklight? [19:01] padrino: How did you install Ubuntu? [19:01] jhutchins_wk: when I boot from liveCD it does show up in lsmod [19:01] padrino, threatening to go back to windows doesn't effect us [19:01] since latest updates i cant save rsa_key passphrase to my keys ? anybody else with this problem, or somebody where it works. im on ubuntu 13.10, [19:01] BluesKaj I wasn't threatening?

I've come to realise thaT I have posted so much stuff on this forum that I can't really do without my account. Searching as a non member and view stuff is a pain. [19:21] is there a way to wget a link from www.nyaa.se/?page=download&tid=490750 [19:21] in command line [19:21] mips: the best thing to do is email one of the team, or talk to one in #ubuntuforums [19:21] did you tried curl adas ? [19:21] Guys, i have a question about 64-bit [19:22] Is it supported as well as 32.bit? [19:22] j4ckxandxj1ll: yes [19:22] ikonia, got a link to email addresses by any chance?

[19:23] j4ckxandxj1ll, the 64bit issues went away many many years ago! [19:23] :P thanks [19:23] mips: still some things like flash are awesome with 64bit ...

[19:30] j4ckxandxj1ll: send them a letter then. The important part is that you direct your frustrations where they are deserved. [19:30] does anyone know how to get list of unique programs executed by me using ps -ef?? [19:30] I know there is grep and cut but I am not exactly sure how to run these [19:30] *use [19:30] Guys i am not frustrated, nor am i blaming linux lol.

I use each for different purposes [19:40] Arch-TK: i see #ubuntu here [19:40] ps -u "$USER" -o cmd= | sort -u # unique lines [19:40] Truebattleaxe88: ugh ... overkill [19:41] mainly just tinkering with all of them [19:41] I prefer KDE when my wife needs to use the computer. I prefer XFCE [19:41] you mean your wife prefers XFCE [19:42] well she is familiar with both. I don't really have a set preference [19:42] use dwm then ^_^ [19:43] I'm trying to find a windows manager that is really customizable that I can still have a start panel and has my set of applications [19:43] openbox once setup is all i would ever need, second choice would be xfce [19:43] never tried openbox [19:43] Truebattleaxe88. KDE ftw! there [19:44] BluesKaj: you think KDE is horrible? I find it very much like windows. Which I don't like [19:44] can someone tell me a little bit more about MIR. I just read on it the other day. Kind of confused as to what it really is [19:45] FTW means for the win , Truebattleaxe88 [19:45] ahh gotcha. my mistake [19:45] kde can look like windows, os x, gnome, unity or a minimalistic wm...

[20:10] yes from official mirror and check it on the hash, lotuspsychje.. im installing the 12.04.3-server-amd64 [20:10] TheHustle: Most hardware like taht works fine in Linux. [20:10] lotuspsychje, that's correct [20:10] TheHustle: Windows sometimes needs drivers for it, but it's possible something has failed. [20:10] but I havent had need for these before so I needed little hint on these [20:10] TheHustle: We don't know what you mean that "windows 7 won't accept it". [20:10] abcd123: Then keep in mind that grep and cut are standard commands, but the commands you find on common linux systems, generally have a lot more features than the standard unix tools [20:11] fishcooker: ok mate, maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might also know your issue? [20:11] abcd123: so whatever you learn about grep and cut in Ubuntu may not work on unix systems [20:11] jhutchins_wk, windows shows the enclosure in device manager for about 5-6 seconds then disconnects [20:11] TheHustle: Only way to know for sure is to try. [20:12] TheHustle: join the ##hardware channel for device problems, they might wanna help you further [20:12] jhutchins_wk, will ubuntu automatically detect it? [20:12] lotuspsychje, thank you [20:12] fishcooker, There is a net install you might try. [20:12] in OS course we have both win 8 and ubuntu. I hate win 8 for it is difficult lol. Ubuntu is much easier - all I need to do is enter the command and I dont even have to know from where I can do it using GUI :) [20:12] TheHustle: Like I said: try it. [20:12] TheHustle: Linux usually does just fine with USB external drives, but they're all different. [20:12] jhutchins_wk, ok, thank you [20:13] TheHustle: I think ubuntu won't [20:13] TheHustle: I used to have to keep three different drives to boot various hardware I worked with.

[21:01] lotuspsychje, no word about the 'S' though :-( [21:01] fishcooker1, The advantage of a net install is you get what is in the repos up to date, no updates after the install.

[21:11] fishcooker1: as long as you remember the passphrase [21:11] What is the reason Ubuntu has disabled all apps in the system tray and forces EVEERYONE to hack it just to get it back. What is ONE good reason why they did that? [21:11] dannymichel: that's probably GNOME's doing [21:11] fishcooker1: you should also not forget your username and password on ubuntu [21:11] nvm, i found how to, but the specific one giving me all the problems is listed to allow, but the allow dialogue will not go away[i have reloaded it a few times] [21:11] dannymichel: they probably did it to be more like Mac OS, which is ever GNOME's motivation [21:11] dannymichel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1199877 [21:11] Ubuntu bug 1199877 in indicator-appmenu (Ubuntu) "unity-panel-service memory leak and 100% CPU usage" [High,In progress] [21:12] dannymichel: if you don't like Mac OS, try Xfce (also if you do, Xfce is flexible that way) [21:12] dannymichel: dont shoot us okay :p [21:12] system tray is enabled in Mac OS X reisio .

[21:28] ikonia, yes I got Owncloud and Cardav [21:28] ikonia to sync between a server and my phone [21:28] yes, it's a modern motherboard as it only has sata ports on the board, no ide [21:28] purchased it from ebuyer [21:28] ppokuyh: have you checked if your phone has applications to allow that to work [21:29] ikonia, to sync, that's okay [21:29] ppokuyh: have you checked if your phone has applications to allow that to work [21:29] ikonia, yes caldav and owncloud [21:30] as long as i remember the passphrase and username i will unlock the encryption folder, btw how to input the passphrase automatically(eg: i want to echo a file to input the passphrase) in case i want this box start and after automatically login and decrypt the home folder [21:30] ppokuyh: so if that works why are you asking "what should I use", you know the answer [21:30] Does anyone else have suggestions? I have installed adobe-flashplugin, flashplugin-installer, the adobe flash gtk program, I have checked permissions, I have restarted device[Acer Aspire 5534 AD Anthalon 64], i have i have cleared available permissions and manually input them in as the program requesting the permission specifies, and I still get the Adobe Flash settings dialogue asking for permission, but i cannot click the button to either acce [21:30] th0r, hi how to use Samba? [21:30] TheHustle: what happens if you put a dvd movie in? [21:30] ppokuyh: why are you looking at samba [21:30] lotuspsychje, ill go test it, brb [21:30] ppokuyh: that has nothing to do with the applications you've just said you want to use [21:31] ikonia, someone suggested to install Samba and an apps to sync [21:31] ppokuyh: but that's not what you are doing - you've told me what you are doing with owncloud [21:31] ppokuyh: so why are you looking at samba, when you know what you are doing [21:31] ikonia, I did consider the suggestion of Thor [21:32] ppokuyh: does your phone network mounting of file systems ? [21:32] darkelfjuggalo1: Hey, when it comes to flashsettings, they rarely work "in browser" to accept or decline. Typically, you need to go to the flash manager website to get settings right [21:32] ppokuyh: does your phone support directory syncronization of network file systems ? [21:32] darkelfjuggalo1: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html [21:32] ikonia, with Es file manager yes [21:32] lotuspsychje, /media is empty, dvd does the same, spins up and down and up and down [21:33] darkelfjuggalo1: There you can enter trusted sites to allow them access to mic and camera, or save files [21:33] ok thank you [21:33] ppokuyh: ok, so in that case you can use samba to setup a shared file system, mount it on your phone and setup (from your phone - not samba) directory syncrionzation [21:33] TheHustle: try to install vlc player, if that doesnt play your movie, device might be broken..check syslog also for errors on dvd [21:34] ikonia, thx for your help, I appreciate, how to use Samba? [21:34] lotuspsychje, how do i open /var/log/syslog? [21:34] ppokuyh: do the basic research it's not a 1 line response, it's reasonable complex to setup properly [21:34] today I upgraded to ubuntu 13.10 and I experience that using gnome-session-fallback, the length of the tastbars does not scale up to the monitor length, as it did on ubuntu 13.04. [21:34] TheHustle: the logviewer icon [21:34] ikonia, k I'll look into thtat [21:35] TheHustle: or gedit [21:36] de que estamos hablando? [21:37] Someone knows about ubuntu applications? I search an application for archiving notes sheets. [21:37] ALXTorresC: #ubuntu-es [21:38] mmm [21:38] vohe: "archiving notes sheets" can you re-word that perhaps? [21:38] lotuspsychje, device offlined - not ready after error recovery [21:38] Guys, I'm trying to install 13.10 x64 onto my server but this is what I'm getting everytime. Trying to install on RAID10, which is set up via hardware: http://tinyurl.com/lcpg8e4 - Any help would be much appreciated [21:39] geekmasterflash ; i can't see how to manually add a websiter [21:39] vohe, Never seen a specific app for archiving personal notes. [21:39] darkelfjuggalo1: See that drop down on the link that says "Edit Locations" [21:39] I need help. In Firefox, no youtube videos will load. it's just a white rectangle where the player should be. [21:39] darkelfjuggalo1: One of the options there is "Add location" [21:40] ISOcrates: 1: Did you run the CD integrity check at boot? 2: Why aren't you using the Server install image? [21:40] Zykotick9: notes for a choir needs to store, sort, and find in a database [21:40] no i do not see it [21:40] darkelfjuggalo1: on the link I sent, does the settings manager display? [21:40] darkelfjuggalo1: If not, you don't have flash properly installed. [21:41] How to i get the volume applet back? [21:41] JoshuaP, what desktop, and did you remove it somehow? [21:41] darkelfjuggalo1: If so, you should see a page that says "always ask" "always allow" "always deny" radio buttons [21:41] a flash embed object that looks similar to the dialogue pops up [21:41] darkelfjuggalo1: In that screen, bottom right just above the input text field is a drop down [21:42] lotuspsychje, device offlined - not ready after error recovery, is the last message in the error log [21:42] hey guys sorry to interrupt but, how do i launch applications from the terminal [21:42] Jordan_U: I did not do that, I will now. I like having the option to VNC in to do stuff on the desktop from time to time [21:42] darkelfjuggalo1: That says "Edit locations..." [21:42] vohe: are we talking music-notes, or just text notes? if it's text, check out Tomboy (or Gnote the non-mono-contaiminated fork) [21:42] darkelfjuggalo1: Select it, and choose the option "Add location" [21:42] !tab > vohe [21:42] vohe, please see my private message [21:42] TheHustle: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364543 [21:42] joseph__: you type the name of the app and press enter [21:42] i found it, the wrong tab loaded [21:42] thank you [21:42] Beldar: it went away after i uninstalled pulseaudio, then i re-installed it, and now it is gone [21:43] yw [21:43] hello everyone! Please, can anyone recommend me a good and easy software similar to openbravo or gnucash but easier ? Many thanks [21:43] JoshuaP, Have you logged out and back in or rebooted to see if it shows? [21:43] lotuspsychje, oh no, so the enclosure doesn't work in ubuntu :( [21:43] sorry i got disconnect.. [21:44] TheHustle: not sure, never tryed such device yet [21:44] Iulia: kmymoney2 [21:44] Iulia: Openbravo is generally the easiest one I know about. If those are too hard to figure, maybe you can try to install Quickbooks via Wine? [21:44] who send me a pm? [21:44] Openbravo seems to be nice and good but I don't want vmware [21:44] vohe: i sent !tab from ubottu to you via-PM? [21:44] It¡s possible to install without it? [21:45] !tab > vohe [21:45] vohe, please see my private message [21:45] Iulia: Quickbooks 6.0 is platinum capatablility with Wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=868 [21:45] thanks [21:46] i swear i hate these games my dad plays... they suck on gameplay, story line and resource [the whole computer should not freeze for 5 minutes loading one game page] [21:46] Is there a chance flash isn't working for me because my video drivers are too old? [21:46] zykotick9: sry, i used a irc client on an android (without Tab Key) [21:46] vohe: ahhh. [21:47] Boneheads1999: flash is just massivly limiting on linux [21:47] or graphics card or whatever [21:47] Boneheads1999: it's support has stopped and as applications move forward using newer versions of the plugin, less works [21:47] ikonia: then is there some sort of youtube app or something for ubuntu? [21:47] anyone know the command to remove a print job in ubuntu 12.04? [21:47] Boneheads1999: no, [21:47] what cli tool for pastebins do you recommend? [21:47] Boneheads1999: there is the html5 version of youtube, but that only supports videos encoding in a specific way [21:48] !pastebinit | kandinski [21:48] kandinski: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:48] preferably one that doesn't use pastebin.com, but a less sucky one? [21:48] zykotick9: thanks a lot [21:48] kandinski: pastebinit can be configured to use paste.ubuntu.org and others. [21:48] ikonia: have any idea if there's a flash alternative? (not like HTML5, but something that does everything flash would normally do) [21:48] Boneheads1999: there isn't one [21:48] lotuspsychje, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1782546&p=10948133#post10948133 maybe if i downgrade it'll work? [21:48] geekmmasterflash, I added the games location with always allow through the page you game me, and it is still asking when I load the game [21:49] Boneheads1999, You get 12.04 installed? Did you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras? [21:49] darkelfjuggalo1: there are other settings to be added [21:49] Boneheads1999: There are a few Free flash implementations, but none of them are very complete/functional. [21:49] oh? [21:49] darkelfjuggalo1: You allowed them via security, but you also need to okay them access [21:49] darkelfjuggalo1: There should be a tab for privacy [21:49] Beldar: I can't remember.. possibly. [21:49] Beldar: I'll brb [21:49] darkelfjuggalo1: And another for storage [21:50] Boneheads1999: there is a 'youtube app': Minitube, it can play and download youtube videos [21:50] when the computer stopps locking up [21:50] if that helps [21:50] darkelfjuggalo1: You're likely going to have to add the site to all of them [21:50] xangua: does it require flash? [21:50] any idea? I got a Chruch full of choir notes. And i have to manage them with a software. [21:50] Boneheads1999: no, it doesn't [21:51] Beldar: yes [21:51] I added a ppa but I can't update from it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6455568/ [21:51] Beldar: it still doesnt appear [21:51] i want to encyrpted my home folder.. and i've plan to put some apps on it that will run after the user login.. is it possible? [21:51] darkelfjuggalo1: Also, send me the url so I can see what it is you're attempt to do? [21:51] the games url? [21:51] fishcooker: Yes. [21:51] It's strange. A copy dialog box missing when copying a large file. And there's no indicator showing. [21:51] darkelfjuggalo1: Yes, please. [21:51] zynga1-a.akamaihd.net [21:52] kandinski: perhaps i t's not referenced as *couch* when it updates [21:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1010132 [21:52] Ubuntu bug 887821 in Unity 6.0 "duplicate for #1010132 "Show copy dialog" right click launcher entry doesn't work (on nautilus copy)" [Undecided,New] [21:52] darkelfjuggalo1: I am getting an error page when I go there. [21:52] looks promising Jordan_U..LoL [21:52] hydruid: how so? the url is listed on update [21:52] kandinski: how did you add the PPA? [21:52] add-apt-repository [21:52] that game is Frontierville by Zynga [21:52] can the passphrase automatically input when the box start [21:53] darkelfjuggalo1: http://www.websitedown.info/zynga1-a.akamaihd.net [21:53] kandinski: did you get any errors? [21:53] darkelfjuggalo1: Well, regardless of that the site is down [21:53] darkelfjuggalo1: So, nothing you do will work till they get it back up. [21:53] so it's Zyngas fault this is failing, not the device? [21:53] Beldar: okay I typed "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [21:53] ubuntu of course :-) Jordan_U [21:53] kandinski: I would remove it and try adding it back [21:53] is there any way to get menu bar like there http://lejup.lv/f/528e80d541f5eugfstar1385070805.png [21:54] fishcooker: The standard configuration for an encrypted home directory in Ubuntu, using ecryptfs, "unlocks" your files using your login password (so all you need to do is log in, there is no extra step). [21:54] Beldar: but now it's at some microsoft contract thing [21:54] hydruid: did you look at my paste? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6455568/ the .list file is all right, and is in the sources.list.d directory [21:54] hydruid: will do that [21:54] darkelfjuggalo1: Can't say that, but regardless if your device is not working, their site isnt [21:54] darkelfjuggalo1: So you can't fix it even if there was a problem [21:54] kandinski: that is strange, usually there is at least an error [21:54] thanks Jordan_U you are a kind person LoL [21:55] patsToms: that link made me hungry [21:55] fishcooker: You're welcome. [21:55] hyakuhei, haha, true [21:56] fishcooker: yes he is :D [21:56] patsToms: are you talking about the bar at the top? [21:56] hi all [21:56] it's Zynga i quit playing their games before this game came out becuase of crap like this... i don't see how they are still in business with such crappy business, my dad can't even complain to them about the poor quality becuase they disabled the report features for this particular game [i wish i understood why he and my mom still play it] [21:56] I need help. I'm trying to install restricted-extras, but now this popped up in terminal: http://pastebin.com/mDnpKbvk [21:57] i've a question... i've a vps with installed ubuntu server but i can use only ipv6 to connect to it... i installed apache but how can i connect to it through ipv6? is it possible? [21:57] patsToms: you mean transparent? you can install ubuntu-tweak, or unity-tweak if you are on saucy, to set the panel opacity [21:57] Boneheads1999: You've never seen an EULA before? [21:57] hydruid: this is weird indeed http://paste.ubuntu.com/6455597/ [21:57] Boneheads1999: Press tab to select OK, then hit enter [21:58] xangua, but it's not full transparent [21:58] kandinski: quit grepping it to confirm it's not something else [21:58] Boneheads1999, http://askubuntu.com/questions/16225/how-can-i-accept-microsoft-eula-agreement-for-ttf-mscorefonts-installer [21:58] Beldar: I'm good. geekmasterflash showed me [21:58] well i have applied all of the settings as is and I will see when it comes back up [21:59] Boneheads1999, Cool, carry on. ;) [21:59] Hi folks.

[22:00] BarackObama_MS: have a few minutes from playing all that basketball to ask some Ubuntu questions? [22:00] BarackObama_MS, As a representative of remulak, I like your work. [22:00] BarackObama_MS: How's my favorite muslim-socalist savior today? [22:00] xangua, check my image again - it's full transparent there :b [22:00] is there a way to add a brightness bar to KDE when I change brightness with the keyboard? [22:01] hydruid: but this is a list of all the urls apt-get hits (made with apt-get update): http://paste.ubuntu.com/6455627/ [22:01] Beldar: We use Microsoft. [22:01] kandinski: apt-get update will not show the name of the ppa. it'll just show http://ppa.launchpad.net [22:01] Geekmasterflash: We drop bombs on em. [22:01] geirha, aaah [22:01] patsToms: it is in mine too, if you already set the panel as you wished why are you asking then? [22:02] i have a wusb54g v1, it connects to my router when I disable security but once I enable wpa or wpa2 it just keeps prompting me for security key. any ideas? [22:02] clouder`grr: Ugh, yeah. If you turn on security it will want the security password. [22:02] hyddruid, geirha thanks, I was being tetchy tetchy [22:02] clouder`grr: You need to find out/set your WPA2 key [22:02] i do know it [22:02] My network is unsecured. [22:03] it just keep prompting me even after entering it [22:03] xangua, it's not mine screen [22:03] it does take a little while between prompts [22:03] xangua, I have like yours. I found solution on the net, but there is no solution for full transparent [22:03] clouder`grr: A little while as in, a day, or as in a few seconds? [22:04] \server [22:04] about 15 seconds [22:04] clouder`grr: And in that 15 seconds, can you surf? [22:04] I haven't tried, but I don't see the 'link' light blink at all during that time [22:04] patsToms: looks fully transparent to me http://i.imgur.com/zv2RGzL.png [22:05] clouder`grr: K, then you're router is rejecting your password. [22:05] clouder`grr: Might be a typo or wrong case. [22:05] clouder`grr: I recommend setting a new password, maybe all the same letter and trying to connect with it. If it takes, then you know the issue is just the password was wrong [22:06] clouder`grr: If it doesn't, then you may have some connection issue or some strange bug currently unknown [22:06] I've checked and rechecked, I'm certain I have the pw correct. I use wpa/wpa2 before, I only disabled it to see if it would connect without security [22:06] xangua, ok then [22:06] xangua, give me more info, what did you do [22:06] (15:57:16) xangua: patsToms: you mean transparent? you can install ubuntu-tweak, or unity-tweak if you are on saucy, to set the panel opacity [22:07] I will try ubuntu-twak [22:07] I tested the adapter on a winxp laptop just to be sure it wasn't the adapter and the keys worked and connected [22:07] clouder`grr: Okay, but you haven't ruled out typoing now. [22:08] kandinski: Assuming it provides a package named couchdb, try apt-cache policy couchdb [22:08] clouder`grr: Troubleshooting often means doing things we are sure wont work, just to eliminate them [22:08] geirha, it does, thanks [22:11] 127.0.0.1 is fun. [22:11] 127.0.0.1 sweet 127.0.0.1 [22:11] geekmasterflash: nah ::1 [22:12] mount -o force -t hfsplus /dev/XXX /mnt/ [22:12] doesnt work [22:12] anyone? [22:12] ivanrad: sup [22:12] need help with mounting read and write hfs+ on ubuntu ive tried everything [22:13] ivanrad: what error does it spit up? [22:13] mount -o force -t hfsplus /dev/XXX /mnt/ [22:13] let me show you [22:13] ivanrad: show the exact command you used, and the exact error you get [22:13] ivanrad use pastebin if it is a long error message [22:13] how do i list dev? [22:14] ivanrad: did you try just mount /dev/XXX /mnt ? [22:14] ivanrad: just show us the exact command you are using [22:14] ivanrad: lsblk -f [22:14] sudo mount -o force -t hfsplus /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ [22:14] why force ? [22:14] hello, i just rebooted my machine and... i dont know what happend, the login screen wont show up, cant start xserver, only got shell access, no write priviliges, in my home directory is a file like "Where is your desktop" and i should use ecryptfs-mount-private to restore/access it. ecryptfs-mount-private wont work, what happened ?! [22:15] http://pastebin.com/796H1bkw [22:15] root____5: By any chance, did you log in as root? [22:15] ivanrad: that's a different command than you one you just showed us [22:15] okay then the second 1 [22:15] whatever will do this [22:15] ivanrad: and as you can see it's not an error - it's already mounted [22:15] i want to mount read and write my hfs+ [22:16] geekmasterflash: actually not, my shell/bash shows my real username [22:16] yes but i cant read and write [22:16] hfs only has experimental read/write support [22:16] and why -o force ? === Guest81204 is now known as mappds === mappds is now known as mapps === mapps is now known as maps [22:16] Having a few problems getting my hardware working, anyone know how to enable a second display, enable form feed for a printer, and getting a wired xbox 360 headset working? [22:16] becuase i want to force it to work? [22:16] root____5: Have you logged in as root before? [22:16] ivanrad: that's not what -o force is for [22:16] oh okay [22:16] ivanrad: knowing what the commands do before using them is critical [22:16] well here this guide doesnt work [22:17] http://askubuntu.com/questions/332315/how-to-read-and-write-hfs-journaled-external-hdd-in-ubuntu-without-access-to-os [22:17] ivanrad: look at the difference in the commands you are using and the one in the that guide [22:17] ivanrad: you have not followed the guide [22:17] geekmasterflash: you mean this session or "ever", i think for both, yes. [22:18] ivanrad: but I warn you very strongly about trying to use write hfs access in linux [22:18] root____5: It's possible root owns something it shouldn't, as I recently has a problem with root owning Xauthority that caused a similar problem [22:18] why? the hard drive has 900 gb [22:18] i need to copy 414 gb [22:18] ivanrad: the size has nothing to do with it [22:18] ? [22:18] //// [22:18] root____5: As for the encrypted home folder, what is the error you get when you use ecryptfs-mount-private? [22:18] okay [22:19] so how do i change the format from hfs+ to ntfs> [22:19] ivanrad: 1.) it's clear you are not paying attention to detail - this ia bad and dangerous 2.) HFS write support is experimental [22:19] hi... is there any possible way to make video results from the unity smart scopes open up in totem movie player? [22:19] ivanrad: to change the file system you'd need to format(thus deleting the data) [22:19] okay if i dont have a mac are you saying this is impossible? [22:19] geekmasterflash: brb, got only one systerm [22:19] ivanrad: saying what is impossible [22:19] chaotix: open source, so yes [22:19] trying to change HFS+ to ntfs or whatever linux supports [22:20] ivanrad: you can't "change it" you have to re-format it [22:20] okay [22:20] ivanrad: and ext4 is the recommended file system for linux [22:20] reisio, how? [22:20] so basically i have to go buy a mac [22:20] ivanrad: what are you talking about ?? buy a mac [22:20] ivanrad: what are you trying to do [22:20] i have a drive that is 1tb big [22:20] ivanrad: did you try just mount /dev/XXX /mnt ? [22:20] geekmasterflash: "Private directory is not setup correctly" [22:20] reisio: hfs default to read only [22:20] chaotix: dunno :) [22:20] its formatted to HFS+ i sold my mac got a pc and installed linux because im trying to learn [22:20] (and rightly so) [22:21] xangua, still herE? [22:21] i need to copy 414 gb of files onto the hard drive [22:21] how do i do it from linux [22:21] ivanrad: are you planning on using the drive with a mac again in the future ? [22:21] no [22:21] root____5: http://goshawknest.wordpress.com/2010/04/16/how-to-recover-crypted-home-directory-in-ubuntu/ [22:21] does anyone know how to make video results from the unity smart scopes open up in totem movie player? [22:21] ivanrad: then the correct solution would be to back the data up off the drive, format it with ext4 and put the data back on - along with the additional data you want to use [22:22] chaotix: with what does it open it by defaul¿ [22:22] how can i back the data up off the drive without a mac [22:22] ivanrad: did you try just mount /dev/XXX /mnt ? [22:22] patsToms: ¿ [22:22] ivanrad: you can mount it read only - as it is now [22:22] there are HFS filesystem readers for windows that read HFS+ fine, if you have a disc around you can recover the data that way [22:22] xangua, with the default web browser [22:22] ivanrad: then you back it up by copying it off to somewhere safe [22:22] ivanrad: you can then format the disk with ext4 and put it back [22:22] xangua, i mean the online results [22:22] like from youtube and stuff [22:23] Glyde: GNU/Linux supports HFS+ [22:23] oh, where's the problem then? [22:23] CANT COPY [22:23] says read only [22:23] xangua, http://i.imgur.com/JSGYSQw.png [22:23] Glyde: he won't respond to my questions [22:23] ah [22:23] ivanrad: you copy the data OFF the drive [22:23] so it's going to be very hard to tell what the problem is [22:23] ivanrad: hence "backuk" [22:23] reisio: he wants hfs+ write access [22:23] ikonia i just tried that [22:23] ivanrad: ok, and what's the problem [22:24] ikonia: I didn't ask if he wanted hfs+ write access [22:24] ivanrad: where did you try to copy it to ? [22:24] xangua, any ideas why I don't have full transparent? [22:24] so that has no bearing on his ignoring my questions :p [22:24] linux desktop [22:24] i'm updating my fstab to allow TRIM, should I do that also on /boot and /efi partitions? [22:24] ivanrad: what did it say/error ? [22:24] The folder "100MEDIA" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it. [22:24] \nic ace_ [22:24] SamuraiDio: Are you doing this to optimize an SSD? [22:24] SamuraiDio: do this for ext4 partitions [22:24] geekmasterflash: thanks will try [22:24] ivanrad: is that the HFS disk ? [22:25] yes [22:25] geekmasterflash, yes, and to extend life [22:25] 99 - user #99 [22:25] ivanrad: ok, so open /mnt in the file browser, do you see the files ? [22:25] SamuraiDio: Then do it for every partition on the disk [22:25] patsToms: no idea, it does work for me in ubuntu 12.04 [22:25] k1l_, ah, sure, so /efi should not [22:25] yes [22:25] ikonia [22:26] ivanrad: ok, so click on right click on 1 file and click "copy" not "cut" [22:26] why dont you try join.me with me guarantee you will be shocked [22:26] ivanrad: what ? [22:26] go to www.join.me [22:26] ivanrad: no [22:26] oh [22:26] why is everyone so paranoid about sharing screens.... [22:26] I'm not paranoid [22:27] ivanrad: It's the questionable porn we keep running at all time. [22:27] it would take you 2 seconds to figure out [22:27] lol [22:27] no one has porn [22:27] I'll leave you to it then [22:27] xangua, I have 13.10 [22:27] why would you do that when this is a support channel? [22:28] ivanrad: No one has porn? What is this, some dystopian future? [22:28] ivanrad: please stick to ubuntu support in here [22:28] really dissapointing that no one would like to help a youngman like me [22:28] i could be learning [22:28] ivanrad: people have been helping you - stop making things up [22:29] how? [22:29] ivanrad: walking you through the problem, helping you troubleshoot it [22:29] ivanrad: People do - just not the way you want them, but the way they want. [22:29] i tried to copy the files and its not doing what you said it would [22:29] ivanrad: I'd not finished explaining it to you if you read the scroll back [22:29] they would rather see my struggle rather than learn instantly oh thats what you did wrong [22:30] ivanrad: stop complaining - and making things up, it's not helpful or true and it's insulting to people giving their time to help you [22:30] i did the copy what are you talking about [22:30] whats really insulting is wasting your time explaining things for minutes on end [22:30] ivanrad: give a man a fish, or show him how to fish. [22:30] rather than a couple seconds showing them [22:30] ivanrad: it's not a case of a couple of seconds [22:30] this isnt fishing this is ubuntu [22:30] !attitude | ivanrad [22:30] .... [22:30] ivanrad: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [22:30] i dont see water here [22:31] ivanrad: Yes, and being ubuntu doesnt mean: "oh wait, we give you some fish instantly." [22:31] However, this starts to be offtopic and unrelated to Ubuntu at all. [22:31] Anybody watch Arrow? [22:32] so why did your copy instructions not work [22:32] !ot | dannymichel [22:32] dannymichel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:32] dannymichel: this isn't a TV discussion channel, it's ubuntu technical support [22:32] ivanrad: Don't know, what error did you get? [22:32] haha, it was about a theme im making ikonia [22:32] The folder "Music 21 gb" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it. [22:32] ivanrad: There you go, that's why it didnt work [22:32] ivanrad: you are not giving factual information [22:32] ivanrad: You don't have write/read permissions [22:33] xangua, seems like I understand where is the problem. I'm with unity 2d, but needs 3d to get full transparent [22:33] okay [22:33] so this command doesnt work [22:33] ivanrad: stop for a moment, go away note down the information such as the disk names and mount points and then give it to the channel cleanly [22:33] ivanrad: that is a different disk name than you gave me earlier [22:33] ivanrad: It works, but you first need to have permissions [22:33] ivanrad: and your pastebin shows the wrong device names [22:33] ivanrad: Try running it via sudo [22:33] patsToms: unity2d is still around in 13.10? [22:33] someone have any idea how to get understand do I use unity 2d or 3d? [22:33] xangua, no idea [22:33] okay lets take a moment here [22:33] xangua, any way to check that? [22:33] ivanrad: so stop for a moment, take a note of the CORRECT information, then give it to the channel clearly [22:34] Hey people, I just got a new usb wifi adapter, and wanted started installing it, at some point, I needed to reboot and then I suddenly lost access to my other wifi adapter, so now my laptop is stuck with no internet.

[22:36] when i type mount it only makes it read only [22:36] geekmasterflash, sure, i'll do that [22:36] ivanrad: /media/1 TERABYTE is an invalid name. Use: /media/1\ TERABYTE [22:36] yes i already took the 1 TERABYTE out [22:37] i just mounted it as media [22:37] ivanrad: Then WHY do you paste it as it is irrelevant and outdated? [22:37] ivanrad: Give us the error as you see it NOW [22:37] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media [22:37] ivanrad: So we can help you, you unbelievablely dense man. [22:37] now i do not see the hard drive [22:37] ivanrad: So sdc1 is already mounted. [22:37] geekmasterflash: no need to call people named [22:37] names [22:37] ikonia: Sorry. [22:37] yes but why dont i see it in my home folder [22:38] you didn't mount it in your home folder [22:38] you mounted it on /media [22:38] where did i mount it to [22:38] what has happened with the medibuntu repo? [22:38] "sdc1 is already mounted at /media" ... [22:38] /media [22:38] what has replaced it? [22:38] ivanrad: Did you even read your own error messages? :) [22:38] zamba: it no longet exist [22:38] zamba: It is gone, basically. [22:38] zamba medibuntu no longer exists [22:38] yes i did [22:38] but i dont see media [22:39] ivanrad: It is /media which is not in your home folder. [22:39] ivanrad: Open a terminal [22:39] ivanrad: type [22:39] ivanrad: cd /media [22:39] ivanrad: then type ls [22:39] ivanrad: Do you see the files you are expecting? [22:39] yes [22:39] hello [22:39] => [22:39] now how do i see that in the explorer window [22:40] ivanrad: Go to /media in the window. [22:40] ivanrad: Click on filesystem, click on /, click on /media [22:40] The folder "100MEDIA" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it. [22:40] okay found iot [22:40] same message when i try to copy [22:40] Hey people, I just got a new usb wifi adapter, and started installing it. At some point, I needed to reboot and now suddenly my first wifi adapter is disabled and I don't know how to re-enable it. I'm assuming it driver collision or something? [22:40] geekmasterflash, https://gist.github.com/paulodiovani/e6656d3c4634f6e253c6 [22:41] ivanrad: You need to set permissions [22:41] ivanrad: 100MEDIA is not /media [22:41] MonkeyDust: so where are the same packages? [22:41] MonkeyDust: i need h264 support in vlc, for instance [22:41] SamuraiDio: How much memory do you have installed? [22:41] okay [22:41] zamba try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:41] 8GB [22:41] zamba: what ubuntu release are you using? [22:41] geekmasterflash, suggest for mount swap on tmpfs? [22:41] SamuraiDio: I would get rid of Swap or set swappiness to be super low [22:42] chmod +x ? [22:42] SamuraiDio: You don't want to be constantly writing to an SSD [22:42] geekmasterflash: Why not? [22:42] SamuraiDio: And you have more than enough memory [22:42] xangua: 12.04 [22:42] geekmasterflash, swap is not on ssd, is on 500gb hdd === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [22:42] bekks: Because SSD can only take so many writes before they are borked. [22:42] geekmasterflash: Technicallym there is no reason to not do so. The very first SSD had issues, nowadays those issues are gone. [22:43] geekmasterflash: There are tests running which reached 6Petabyte already for writing onto an SSD without breaking it. [22:43] Why cant i right click the hard drive and change the permission [22:43] geekmasterflash: As I said, those issue are gone for a long time now. [22:43] it says i am not the owner [22:43] quotaon: using /home/aquota.group on /dev/sda6 [/home]: Device or resource busy [22:43] ? [22:43] bekks: I guess? I recently had a few (albeit cheap) SSDs die from over writing === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [22:44] Error creating moint point: Read-only file system [22:44] geekmasterflash: There are chances that every disk dies at some point. But statistically SSD do live longer nowadays than they ever did before. [22:45] ivanrad: When doing what...? Do you think we can gues your commands causing that error? [22:45] bekks: Of course, but I live by better safe that sorry. At 8 gigs you hardly need swap anyway, so why risk it? [22:45] /dev/sda6 [/home]: group quotas turned on [22:45] work! [22:45] geekmasterflash, bekks I read a lot about it. SSD has a lower lifetime, but even for constant writes it may live for 8 years or more (just hiting a number, here). I don't think i'll keep the notebook for more than 5 years without getting a new one [22:45] geekmasterflash: For a safe living, have a backup. :) [22:45] when just plugging in the hard drive [22:46] SamuraiDio: Yeah, so you can use your SSD for swap even :) [22:46] geekmasterflash, oops, sorry, I have only 4gb. 8gb was the ultrabook I didin't bought :P [22:47] SamuraiDio: Ah, then you will want to keep some swap space. [22:48] geekmasterflash, bekks, I was planning to get a 8gb, use no swap and mount /tmp to tmpfs, but with 4gb make no harm have some swap space [22:50] geekmasterflash, bekks and again, it is on hdd. if memory hits swap I consider that something is wrong, so makes no point to have it on ssd [22:51] Which is a wrong assumption.

[23:41] but I can try with a guess to help you. [23:41] geekmasterflash: ok,so, egrep wasn't working. I just used unity to navigate the partitions file and opened it with gedit. both of those large drives have now vanished [23:41] Check system settings for monitors Glyde [23:41] do i need to do something like mount the drive? [23:41] Guest27605, I mean, that it would be useful to key a short message on one computer and send it to the other via the WLAN. ie, not going onto the Internet. [23:42] it only shows my first monitor in displays, the second one is on a different video card [23:43] rearden: Need a moment, I am at work and getting calls [23:43] geekmasterflash: take your time [23:46] Glyde: what graphics card lspci in terminal for details [23:46] !nvidia > Glyde [23:46] Glyde, please see my private message [23:47] !ati > Glyde [23:47] oh, sorry, the one that's not working is an intergrated [23:47] my ATI card works fine [23:47] Glyde: lspci should show integrated graphics as well [23:48] Glyde: do lspci -k to see what modules are loaded for the devices too [23:48] it shows the splash screen then throws *ERROR* PCH poison interrupt before going to an underscore [23:48] it's a pretty old flatscreen VGA monitor [23:49] works fine though [23:49] rearden: Okay, I am back. Still here? [23:49] geekmasterflash: yes, thanks for being so helpful, btw [23:50] what am I looking for in that lspci -k output? [23:50] Glyde: your graphics chip set and current module loaded basically would search the chip set and Linux version [23:51] rearden: Sorry, so now that you are on the livecd the command I gave you doesn't work? [23:51] Glyde: use lsb_release -a to see your exact distro [23:51] I see it, intel corp xeon e3-1200 v2/3rd gen core processor graphics controller, rev 09 [23:52] geekmasterflash: yeah, interestingly, it just spits the command line back at me. no errors or anything. i navigated to the file and opened it via gedit [23:52] I'm on 13.10 [23:52] geekmasterflash: the two large partitions have vanished. [23:52] rearden: Odd, so you can't see either hard drive? [23:53] geekmasterflash: correct. === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [23:54] * geekmasterflash scratches his head [23:55] this is frustrating, my drive is entirely filled up and i can't find out what the biggest files are [23:55] because the find / command i do to sort it has no space to write to /tmp [23:55] rearden: Alright try putting the command parted into terminal [23:55] can someone help [23:55] domino14: install ncdu === JoshuaP is now known as JoshuaP-afk [23:55] i have no space [23:55] domino14: or k4dirstat [23:56] domino14: live cd [23:56] domino14: You can free a little space with "sudo apt-get clean" [23:56] it's a remote machine [23:56] domino14: Then you can install those things [23:56] sudo apt-get clean is doing nothing [23:56] geekmasterflash: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ parted WARNING: You are not superuser. Watch out for permissions. Error: No device found [23:56] I'm running Opera for Linux (Ubuntu) how do I associate irc:// with xchat instead of opera irc? [23:56] Ncdu will be smaller its ncurses disk usage command line interface [23:57] rearden: sorry, sudo parted [23:57] domino14: check your /var/log/ kern.log or syslog or others can get filled up [23:57] geekmasterflash: i should have known that. ok, it appears to have put me into whatever it is you are hoping for [23:58] why does wine depends on so much i386 libs? [23:58] geekmasterflash: Welcome to GNU parted... \n(parted) [23:58] d----, installing to recreate right now, gimme a few [23:58] rearden: K, quit parted then reissue command sudo parted -l [23:59] esde: thanks! [23:59] geekmasterflash: alright, it is showing me one drive, the thumb drive i am on [23:59] rearden: wtf.
