| OlDirtyBastard | hi | 00:00 |
| legrandin | hi | 00:00 |
| dustinspringman | alright.... i'm at the end of my rope on this one..... so I have an optimus system, (yes, I know).... on 12.04 LTS, dual monitors worked well..... I updated to 12.04.3 and now my display port will not send video to the same monitor, using the same cable, on teh same display port that it was on 12.04....... i've googled for about 6hrs now... i've tried everything i can possibly think of... does anyone have any experience wit | 00:01 |

| OlDirtyBastard | I can't play AoE2 with wine because of the top title bar | 00:01 |
| lipvig | hitsujiTMO: thanks, I'll look into that | 00:01 |
| OlDirtyBastard | xD | 00:01 |
| legrandin | well im on 13.10 dustin and my monitors work fine | 00:02 |
| legrandin | so i probably cant help :D | 00:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | legrandin: are your configs catered for apache 2.2 and not 2.4? | 00:02 |
| legrandin | i just fixed it! thanks hitsuji | 00:03 |
| legrandin | also i tried that but i donbt have old configs cause i juast have 13.10, not upgraded | 00:03 |
| Beldar | dustinspringman, If you have been doing regular updates 12.04.3 would be what you have been running except for the kernel stack. | 00:03 |
| legrandin | for some reason there were permissions on the index file preventing me from opening it | 00:03 |
| dustinspringman | Beldar: I am pretty sure it was the kernel stack that broke this... | 00:03 |
| Beldar | dustinspringman, Is that what you upgraded, you would of had to do that yourself? | 00:04 |
| dustinspringman | Beldar: the 3.8 kernel popped up as a needed update... so I did it... | 00:04 |
| pfifo | dustinspringman: does it work when you boot with the old kernel? | 00:04 |
| dustinspringman | Beldar: as soon as I did, bam.. no mas.. | 00:04 |
| Beldar | dustinspringman, How long ago did you install this, and do you know what 12.04 it was, and have you tried any of the other kernels in the grub menu? | 00:05 |
| pfifo | dustinspringman: are you using propertiery drivers? | 00:05 |
| dustinspringman | pfifo: i've already destroyed that instance... i thought "oh, forums say it was fixed in 12.10"...so i updated.... then I updated to 13.04 because 12.10 didnt fix it... then i updaetd to 13.10 as a hail mary...... after all that I reinstalled 12.04 LTS (where I am now) and apparently during install it took me back up to 12.04.3 where I stand now.. | 00:06 |
| dustinspringman | nope, only using the Intel VESA drivers | 00:06 |
| pfifo | ok, fresh install then | 00:06 |
| dustinspringman | yes, | 00:06 |
| dustinspringman | in regular 12.04, the Intel Graphics were reported as such.. now in 12.04.3 they say "intel sandybridge mobile"... | 00:07 |
| dustinspringman | the "problem" I have surmised is this: xrandr -q and even in "displays" I see my VIZ 26"... but I get "no signal"... | 00:07 |
| dustinspringman | The EDID is detecting properly... xrandr sees that the HDMI1 is connected... just sits with "no signal" all the time... | 00:08 |
| pfifo | dustinspringman: there is a library for detecting display capabilities | 00:08 |
| pfifo | dustinspringman: and seems you have it working properly | 00:09 |
| dustinspringman | pfifo: right, and I've looked that up.. in 12.04 it was working at 1920x1080_60.00... | 00:09 |
| cpt_cupcake | I have connected my Mac OS mail client with my Ubuntu Mail server using postfix, and I can receive mails, but can not send any from that client. I have installed roundcube on the server and can send mails from there though. Does anyone know why? :-/ | 00:09 |
| dustinspringman | since i've gained kernel 3.8 this problem existed.. before that, I think I was on 3.6 and it worked well.. no special requirements.. =/ | 00:09 |
| ikonia | cpt_cupcake: I suspect you don't have relaying setup correctly | 00:10 |
| dustinspringman | I thought maybe it was a problem with the virtual display or screen layout or something... but i've tried HUNDREDS of forum fixes to no avail.... still...no signal.. =( | 00:10 |
| cpt_cupcake | ikonia: And how do I do that? | 00:10 |
| ikonia | cpt_cupcake: it's your mail server, you need to setup relaying for the correct incoming/outgoing connections | 00:11 |
| Chanito | Hey guys! What is the best video editing software in your opinion? Can be commercial or open-source. Thanks! | 00:11 |
| coleman | ha, looks like I mad it this time | 00:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | dustinspringman: have you tried installing 3.2/3.5 too see if the issue is fixed with the downgrade? | 00:12 |
| coleman | ha, looks like I made it this time | 00:12 |
| legrandin | does anyone know if there is a way to open my text editor (subl) to a specific file? | 00:12 |
| legrandin | Sublime Text | 00:12 |
| legrandin | i mean, to a specific folder, in the command line | 00:12 |
| kingbeowolf | anyone used "Wireless Hotspot" before? It gives a security type as WEP. Can I change it to WPA? | 00:13 |
| legrandin | like can i do something like "subl (folder)" or something in the command line and have it open that folder> | 00:13 |
| coleman | WPA doesn't always work | 00:13 |
| LjL | but WEP is always (very) unsafe | 00:13 |
| kingbeowolf | yeah | 00:14 |
| pfifo | legrandin: if the man page for it dosent offer anything, you can try the old fashioned `PWD=/path/to/files subl` replacing subl with whatever the command is | 00:14 |
| kingbeowolf | WEP can be cracked in 5 seconds | 00:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | legrandin: subl /path/to/folder | 00:14 |
| legrandin | oh snap, thanks guys | 00:14 |
| legrandin | LINUX IS FIN COOL | 00:14 |
| kingbeowolf | indeed | 00:15 |

| hitsujiTMO | dustinspringman: you should be able to install it just by going: sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.5.######-generic | 00:18 |
| coleman | try lightworks i guess Chanito | 00:18 |
| dustinspringman | hitsujiTMO: thanks man, going to give that a show now | 00:18 |
| Chanito | coleman: Thank you! And thanks for not being a douche :) | 00:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | dustinspringman: grub will still default to 3.08 so you'll need to manually pick the older kernel in the grub menu | 00:19 |

| robierob | guys i am using the radeon standard driver in ubuntu 13.04 can i play team fortress with this? | 00:20 |
| pfifo | robierob: well, technically yes. you might not get the performance you want | 00:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | robierob: not very well if i understand correctly. there's huge improvements by going to kernel 3.12 | 00:21 |
| robierob | i tried a few installs of other stuff could you answer some questions then? | 00:21 |
| robierob | kernal 3.12 | 00:22 |
| robierob | ? | 00:22 |
| robierob | sudo apt-get kernal 3.12 ??? | 00:22 |
| jemark | i have kernel 3.12.1 | 00:22 |
| robierob | this has been a pain for a few days now | 00:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | robierob: please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 00:22 |
| robierob | i havent been able to use any grafix intensive anything and i just got ride of the ati drivers with catalist | 00:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | robierob: its generally recommended to stick with radeon driver as it has far better 2d acceleration. | 00:24 |
| robierob | ok....and i am looking at that link and i dont understand how to install the better kernal for performanc | 00:24 |
| robierob | ok radeo driver better | 00:25 |
| robierob | for instance i am on a amd 64 machine | 00:26 |
| robierob | turion x2 64 | 00:26 |
| ikonia | robierob: you don't need a "better" kernel | 00:27 |
| robierob | for performance | 00:27 |
| robierob | ? | 00:27 |
| ikonia | yes | 00:27 |
| robierob | hmmmm why the sudjestion | 00:27 |
| robierob | if its faster then why not... | 00:28 |
| ikonia | the kernel isn't "faster" | 00:28 |
| robierob | every bit counts i am not alot of ram and the pc old ish | 00:28 |
| === HoloIRCUser is now known as kinjin | ||
| robierob | i C | 00:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | ikonia: robierob the radeon driver in the 3.12 kernel does bring some performance improvements | 00:29 |
| robierob | ok here is the issue......my card is no long supported and now i cant get cool drivers to use 3d stuff on this system.... | 00:29 |
| robierob | so... what to do | 00:29 |
| Sh1G3rU | robierob, what card is it? | 00:29 |
| unknown1 | Hi guys i am new to ubuntu | 00:30 |
| Sh1G3rU | unknown1, welcome to ubuntu | 00:30 |
| unknown1 | thanks | 00:30 |
| robierob | i got the opengl error and needed to update.... i tried failed misserably and now i clean all the junk out i installed and now i am back at the original Radeon driver with 13.04 ubuntu/xubuntu | 00:30 |
| vadi | Does anyone know by chance of eVGA nVidia SuperClocked cards run fine under Ubuntu with the SC'd speeds? | 00:30 |
| robierob | rs690m.....radeon xpress 1200 series | 00:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | robierob: ahh, if its a legacy card then you might not get much in performance gain then. | 00:31 |
| robierob | hatsujitmo: ubutnu what version? | 00:32 |
| robierob | ok | 00:32 |
| robierob | yes lagacy | 00:32 |
| Sh1G3rU | robierob, have you tried to download from ati the latest drivers? | 00:32 |
| Sh1G3rU | amd* | 00:32 |
| robierob | i didnt know why i was having so many issues latley and my screen getting all funky with me....now i am back to sqaure one | 00:32 |
| robierob | latest drivers dont support my card | 00:33 |
| pfifo | get the drivers that support your card? | 00:33 |
| Sh1G3rU | latest drivers for your card, each card have its own drivers | 00:33 |
| Sh1G3rU | some are packed in one single file | 00:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | ati legacy lost support after kernel 3.2 iirc | 00:34 |
| robierob | its a legacy card now.....radeon xpress rs690m 1200 series.. | 00:34 |
| robierob | i understand so what do i do know? | 00:34 |
| robierob | no team fortress? | 00:34 |
| pfifo | i throw away better cards than that | 00:34 |
| robierob | lol | 00:34 |
| mikeshollen | Good evening folks. I'm a linux newb currently running a few servers (teamspeak, murmur, vmc, etc) on an old win7 netbook. Recently I have exceeded the capabilities of that system so I have resolved to get some updated hardware and run a linux server for these services. The system I purchased has a 2.13GHz dual core, 4GB DDR3, and an SSD. I have a couple questions before I get started. Is 12.04 LTS server 64 the way to go | 00:35 |
| mikeshollen | for the OS? Is it that big a deal to run a GUI? Does that version of Linux support TRIM? | 00:35 |
| robierob | ok so....... what do i do guys? i am at an impass and i dont want to fry my system.... only putter i got | 00:36 |
| vadi | mikeshollen: TRIM is supported, you can enable it in recent versions of Ubuntu (I'm not certain if it's enabled by default or not). Let me find you a link. | 00:37 |
| pfifo | robierob: get an old kernel that supports the old driver and use them for gaming, you can setup grub to boot with that kernel/driver combo when you need it | 00:37 |
| robierob | ok ........how? | 00:37 |
| mikeshollen | Thanks vadi | 00:38 |
| robierob | examples? | 00:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: do you need a gui for the server? | 00:38 |
| mikeshollen | I don't know. I have never really utilized a command line only environment. | 00:39 |
| robierob | what driver do i need and the companion kernal? | 00:39 |
| mikeshollen | I believe I do because I don't think you can configure teamspeak server without one. | 00:39 |
| pfifo | robierob: you should be able to find the .deb package for linux-image-generic 3.2 in the archives, older versions are available too if you need them, once you got the one you want, boot that kernel and install the drivers you need | 00:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: you can manually run trim with: fstrim / its generalley recommended to not have it running constantly but to run it as a daily cron | 00:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: not run automatically i should say | 00:40 |
| mikeshollen | Thanks hitsujiTMO. What is a cron? | 00:40 |
| robierob | pfifo: i understand what you are saying but i am at a lose as in what i acualy need to do to acomplish that? | 00:40 |
| vadi | mikeshollen: The 'Automatic TRIM' part of http://askubuntu.com/a/19480/4918 seems to be simple enough to follow. I was mostly fishing about for good instructions - a lot of people write stuff that is overly complicated for beginners to follow. | 00:40 |
| vadi | cron is something that executes jobs for you on a period basis. A scheduler. | 00:41 |
| racho | robierob, what are you trying to do? | 00:41 |
| robierob | team fortress is the goal | 00:41 |
| pfifo | robierob: first get your kernel from the archives and get it booting, thats step 1 | 00:41 |
| racho | i assume you have some problems with the video drivers? | 00:41 |
| robierob | i got an old radeon card....rs690m radeon xpress 1200 series card... driver no longer supports it... no lagacy | 00:42 |
| mikeshollen | So do you think that system will run very well on that hardware? | 00:42 |
| racho | robierob, how does it run with the open source one? | 00:42 |
| vadi | mikeshollen: 12.04 LTS server is a good way to go. | 00:43 |
| robierob | i runs fine normally... but i cant run TF2....i get the open GL error need updating | 00:43 |
| jgirard | Hello! Having an issue with my cron job, can't get it to STOP logging to syslog. Tried everything I've been able to find online | 00:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: teamspeak server does install as a cli app. running the server would certainly be a good way of getting you used to cli :P | 00:43 |
| mikeshollen | When I downloaded the file, it is named ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso Is this for intel architecture? | 00:43 |
| vadi | mikeshollen: yes, it will work for intel. | 00:43 |
| mikeshollen | Also, is it worth running the 64 bit version, or will that complicate anything over the 32 bit? | 00:44 |
| vadi | 'amd64' is just a historical name for 64bit. AMD came out with it first I guess. Intel supports it. | 00:44 |
| vadi | Go with 64bit. | 00:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: yes, the name amd64 only refers to the fact that amd own the architecture | 00:44 |
| racho | robierob, fglrx dropped support for x1200 some time ago | 00:44 |
| robierob | yeah.... i got it | 00:44 |
| robierob | i mean i found that out throught this whole week long proces | 00:44 |
| racho | robierob, you can download an old kernel that works with the old drivers from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D | 00:45 |
| robierob | so what do i do now? | 00:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: you'll get increased performance on 64bit | 00:45 |
| pfifo | the first 64bit archetichure was the r4200 | 00:45 |
| vadi | racho: can't he use the radeon driver? | 00:45 |
| robierob | ok so what do i do with it... sudo install? | 00:45 |
| robierob | my experience thus far is a few terminal comands and 34 distros installed | 00:45 |
| racho | vadi, i think he may but he'll need 3.13 and maybe newer mesa | 00:45 |
| robierob | 3-4 | 00:46 |
| mikeshollen | I read that some people were having problems running 64 bit windows 7 on my computer because they were complaining that intel did not have proper drivers for it. Will I run into the same issue with ubuntu server? http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=NanoPC&U=en-us0000005 | 00:46 |
| mikeshollen | That is a link to my computer | 00:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: thats reffering to the atom processors i'm guessing. theres no 64 bit drivers for them | 00:46 |
| pfifo | well if its foxconn, their probably right | 00:46 |
| deedee | as far as i know, amd dropped support for HD4xxx cards and below since 12.04 - and my HD4870 was new in 2011 | 00:46 |
| bekks | mikeshollen: you will be fine with 64bit. | 00:46 |
| robierob | racho: what do i do with said kernal? | 00:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: for the atom gpu that is | 00:47 |
| mikeshollen | Am I getting conflicting advice from hitsujiTMO and bekks or am I misunderstanding something? | 00:47 |
| racho | robierob, nothing too different. you download the linux-headers linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages (according to your arch, 32bit or 64bit) | 00:47 |
| bekks | hitsujiTMO: of course the atom is supported with 64bit. | 00:48 |
| racho | robierob, in a directory of your choice. then inside the directory you issue a sudo dpkg -i *.deb and installs the kernel | 00:48 |
| racho | robierob, you can easily remove it with apt-get remove at any time later | 00:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: no, i still saying go ahead with 64bit. not saying not to | 00:49 |
| mikeshollen | Ok, thanks for clarifying. | 00:49 |
| robierob | ok...cool acualy directions... | 00:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | bekks: i'm reffering to the win7 issue he was talking about | 00:49 |
| racho | robierob, but a word of warning. fglrx requires a specific version of X11 too, and that may prove problematic | 00:49 |
| robierob | now again whats the benifit.... here system performance? and the abilitie to run fortress? | 00:49 |
| mikeshollen | Is there a preferred VNC server to install into the 12.04.3 LTS server distro, or does it come with one built in? | 00:50 |
| robierob | k.... | 00:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: is it the d2700 btw? | 00:50 |
| bekks | mikeshollen: neither nor, just run apt-cache search vnc and install the server of your choice. Or use freenx/nxclient- | 00:50 |
| mikeshollen | I believe so | 00:50 |
| pfifo | robierob: truly, if your into gaming, you should stick to windows. this would be simple stuff to setup in windows | 00:51 |
| racho | robierob, i would go the opposite direction. i would install one of the newer kernels (like 3.13) and then use the ubuntu ppa for the latest mesa & drivers | 00:51 |
| racho | robierob, the open source driver actually supports older ati cards better than amd official one | 00:51 |
| mikeshollen | http://ark.intel.com/products/59683/ | 00:52 |
| mikeshollen | Do you have any concerns with that processor? | 00:52 |
| robierob | ok..... | 00:52 |
| bekks | mikeshollen: No. | 00:52 |
| robierob | so what to do? | 00:52 |
| bobpit | I can't get my webcam to work in ubuntu 12.04 | 00:52 |
| mikeshollen | I am currently running a 1.6GHz single core ATOM. | 00:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: nope, its a decent low power processor | 00:52 |
| robierob | i though i had the open source driver installed? | 00:52 |
| bobpit | lsusb gives ID 1b17:6111 | 00:52 |
| ikonia | mikeshollen: linux will support any x86 or x86_64 processor fine - you don't need to check every bit of hardware with the channel | 00:52 |
| mikeshollen | And mumble has some really innovative methods for dealing with packet loss and audio fidelity | 00:52 |
| ikonia | mikeshollen: you've bought it, so you may as well try it | 00:52 |
| robierob | the regular radeon driver with ubuntu 13.04 | 00:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: running the 330? | 00:53 |
| mikeshollen | but I think it's too much for the atom | 00:53 |
| bobpit | any chance I can get it to work? | 00:53 |
| mikeshollen | What do you mean by 330? | 00:53 |
| racho | robierob, you do. it comes as a default. however the latest mesa stuff adds some opengl goodness. also consider that x1200 is a pretty old card | 00:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | the 1.6ghz processor you're on | 00:53 |
| mikeshollen | Let me check | 00:54 |
| legrandin | yeah wasnt linux build with the x86 in mind? | 00:54 |
| robierob | racho so what do i do from here... | 00:54 |
| robierob | latest mesa | 00:54 |
| robierob | ? | 00:54 |
| mikeshollen | It is an N270 | 00:54 |
| racho | robierob, i would go with latest mesa and a more current kernel | 00:54 |
| Sh1G3rU | it is good to go | 00:54 |
| bobpit | hey, anyone can help me find driver for my webcam? | 00:55 |
| robierob | ok.....now we are going some where... what and how | 00:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: you'll get about 4-6 times the performance increase on the newer processor | 00:55 |
| bobpit | lsusb gives ID 1b17:6111 | 00:55 |
| robierob | racho: where and how? | 00:55 |
| robierob | upgrade distros? | 00:55 |
| racho | robierob, i run a HD5500 and i am currently on 3.13 + plus latest mesa | 00:55 |
| mikeshollen | Plus more by dropping windows 7 for ubuntu I assume? | 00:55 |
| robierob | ok | 00:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: well i'm just going by the processor difference. | 00:56 |
| robierob | so just grab the kernal? sudo it into my system? what about the mesa stuff? | 00:56 |
| racho | robierob, https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/ | 00:56 |
| racho | robierob, you know how to add a ppa? | 00:57 |
| robierob | ummm kinda did it once | 00:57 |
| robierob | if you were to give me 5 steps or what ever can you list them? and let me see about doing this | 00:58 |
| racho | robierob, there are instructions at the bottom of the page | 00:58 |
| robierob | ok | 00:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | robierob: the 3.12 kernel should be enough of an upgrade for you. the 3.13 is still only beta and only feature power management for the newer gpus so you get no real benefit out of going for 3.13 | 00:58 |
| robierob | ok | 00:58 |
| robierob | 3.12 it is | 00:58 |
| racho | yeah go with it | 00:59 |
| robierob | steps? | 00:59 |
| racho | robierob, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 00:59 |
| robierob | that site was no helps | 00:59 |
| robierob | completly unfamiliar | 00:59 |
| racho | robierob, ok fast steps | 01:00 |
| racho | go here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/ | 01:00 |
| robierob | k | 01:00 |
| racho | robierob, do you run a 32bit or 64bit? | 01:00 |
| robierob | 64 | 01:00 |
| robierob | amd | 01:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: defo try and stick with cli tho. adding a gui is an unnecessary extra | 01:00 |
| mikeshollen | I don't know if I can manage the teamspeak server w/out a gui | 01:01 |
| _dale | running xfce, seeing problems with fonts sometimes having chopped characters, is there an easy fix? | 01:01 |
| racho | robierob, ok then you need the two amd64 .deb files plus the 3rd file xxx.all.deb | 01:02 |
| robierob | ok | 01:02 |
| racho | robierob, make a new directory and download them there | 01:02 |
| bekks | mikeshollen: You dont need a gui when just using vnc or freenx/nxclient (which I would prefer). | 01:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: teamspeak server on linux is cli only afaik | 01:02 |
| jrib | mikeshollen: why? At least with mumble, you just connect with your client and use the admin account to create rooms and permissions, etc. | 01:02 |
| robierob | racho: done that | 01:03 |
| mikeshollen | Will I get an option when installing to chose CLI or GUI? | 01:03 |
| racho | robierob, open a terminal and cd into that directory | 01:04 |
| bekks | mikeshollen: No. The server is CLI only by default, but you can install a GUI if you like to. | 01:04 |
| robierob | racho: let me go eat... will you be here in 2 hours | 01:04 |
| robierob | we'll get this done | 01:04 |
| mikeshollen | So with CLI I basically live in terminal? | 01:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: ubuntu server installs as cli. you can install a gui on top of that | 01:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | mikeshollen: yes | 01:05 |
| mikeshollen | Sounds scary. Let's do it! | 01:05 |
| mikeshollen | Thank you all so much for your help guys. | 01:06 |
| Sh1G3rU | mikeshollen, it is much easy to do it than to tell you how to do it | 01:06 |
| Freeaqingme | Hi. I've got a DTAP setup (development, testing, acceptance and production). I want to run all my updates on development first, and once I've tested and verified these updates, roll out the exact same versions to acceptance and production as well. How could I accomplish such a thing? | 01:08 |

| Guest66881 | Hi, whats the best dvdrip program to use for ubuntu 12.04LTS? thanks | 01:10 |
| jrib | Freeaqingme: are you just talking about package updates from ubuntu's repositories? | 01:11 |
| jrib | !dvdrip | Guest66881 | 01:11 |
| jrib | !dvd | Guest66881 | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Guest66881: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 01:12 |
| Freeaqingme | jrib, just packages, but also some other repos (which I;ve no problem with mirroring locally) | 01:12 |
| Guest66881 | Thanks jrib :) | 01:12 |
| jrib | Guest66881: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs here is what I wanted to send | 01:12 |
| _dale | running xfce, seeing problems with fonts sometimes having chopped characters, is there an easy fix? | 01:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dale: can you please post a screen shot of the issue | 01:13 |
| jrib | Freeaqingme: yeah, I would probably just have a local mirror of the repos and control when that updates. Would that work for you? | 01:13 |
| Freeaqingme | I'm thinking I could make a mirror, update it once per week. have dev and test use that mirror. And once tested and vetted rsync it to acceptance yeah | 01:14 |
| jrib | Freeaqingme: well, you want to make sure that the mirror doesn't get updated while you're still in dev and test | 01:14 |
| Freeaqingme | I was also looking at spacewalk, but debian support seems still new, and it would surely introduce some more complexity. But I'm not sure if it would also introduce some benefits | 01:14 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: I have a screen shot available, where would I post it? | 01:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | !screenshot | _dale | 01:15 |
| ubottu | _dale: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 01:15 |
| blackzombie | ayuda con bugtraq | 01:15 |
| jrib | Freeaqingme: I was envisioning something like: 1. sync mirror with the world 2. mirror is now frozen 3. update dev and test (using local mirror) 4. if all looks well update acceptance and production using local mirror 5. go to 1 | 01:16 |
| Freeaqingme | jrib, that's what I meant yes. Thanks ;) | 01:16 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: http://imagebin.org/278615 | 01:17 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: sometimes the t's and l's are extremely bad but aren't showing that this time | 01:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dale: is it specific apps? | 01:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dale: or every app? | 01:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dale: or even just a specific family of apps? | 01:19 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: from what I've seen, it happens in a terminal windows and at times with chrome | 01:19 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: I'm using linux lite but their support channel is sleeping today | 01:20 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: as you can see in the screen shot, the X character in the window title is chopped, it should read LXTerminal | 01:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dale: do you have a font config file in ~/fontconfig/fonts.conf or ~/.fonts.conf | 01:22 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: I'll check... brb | 01:23 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: I have a .fontconfig folder with cache files | 01:24 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: the file names look like MD5 hash | 01:24 |
| pfifo | my ubuntu 13.10 wants to perform a filesystem check almost every time I restart | 01:25 |
| bekks | pfifo: then you are shutting it down unclean almost every time. | 01:25 |
| deezed | pfifo: how do you shut it down? | 01:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dale: are the contents of the files xml? | 01:26 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: will open one to see if xml or binary... | 01:26 |
| pfifo | deezed, sometimes i use the gui, clicking the power icon and selecting the shutdown option. sometimes i type sudo init 6 | 01:27 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: they are binary files | 01:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dale: then i'm immediately out of ideas. | 01:29 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: 7ef2298fde41cc6eeb7af42e48b7d293-le32d4.cache-3 is one of the filenames | 01:29 |
| _dale | hitsujiTMO: ok, thanks anyway... will keep searching google... thanks | 01:30 |
| deezed | pfifo: did you try 'sudo shutdown -h now'? | 01:30 |
| bekks | deezed: on linux, shutdown -h now just calls init 0. | 01:31 |
| pfifo | deezed: no, i dont use that | 01:31 |
| racho | _dale, | 01:31 |
| _dale | racho: yes | 01:31 |
| racho | _dale, do you have freetype libraries installed? | 01:31 |
| racho | _dale, or anti aliasing disabled? | 01:32 |
| deezed | bekks: uhm | 01:32 |
| _dale | racho: don't know, this is a fresh install of Linux Lite and can't find much info from their support on the problem. It's been a while since I've ran linux... | 01:32 |
| _dale | racho: I will have to dig into the settings and see what I can find, thanks for hinting at things to check for | 01:33 |
| racho | _dale, does Linux Lite has a package manager and if yes can you query your installed packages for freetype? | 01:33 |
| pfifo | I think my shutdown problems stem from USB drives being plugged in, getting mounted in /media/pfifo, me not realizing their auto mounted cause im old skool, and unplugging the device leaving stale mounts. | 01:33 |
| ubuntu-studio | Hi. I installed Ubuntu Studio along with Windows 8.1 and runned Boot-Repair. After this Windows not appeared at GRUB. In this article http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tired-of-windows-8-how-to-dual-boot-windows-ubuntu/ says that I have to use an EFI partition mounted at /boot/efi. How to encounter this partition or create it? Thank you in advance! | 01:34 |
| _dale | racho: yes it has a package manager, will search it for freetype | 01:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | ubuntu-studio: can you pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 01:35 |
| _dale | racho: it has libfreetype6 , fontconfig installed when I search for freetype inside synaptic | 01:36 |
| racho | _dale, is libfreetype6 installed? | 01:36 |
| _dale | racho: yes it's installed | 01:37 |
| NEone | A sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade results in this: | 01:37 |
| NEone | The following packages have been kept back: | 01:37 |
| NEone | linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic | 01:37 |
| NEone | Why is it "kept back"? How can I install? | 01:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | !dist-upgrade | neone | 01:37 |
| ubottu | neone: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 01:37 |
| pfifo | NEone: use 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to upgrade | 01:37 |
| Random832 | NEone: because you ran upgrade instead of dist-upgrade | 01:37 |
| ubuntu-studio | <hitsujiTMO> I unistalled UbuntuStudio 13.10 and I`m trying to install again using or creating the EFI partition mounted at /boot/efi. | 01:38 |
| NEone | !upgrade | 01:38 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 01:38 |
| racho | _dale, well that's strange. i suggest looking for more from Lite forums/IRC. also you can try to install some additional font families and check the font settings of your shell | 01:38 |
| racho | _dale, another option is to write your own .fonts.conf | 01:39 |
| _dale | racho: ok thanks, will keep digging | 01:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | ubuntu-studio: as long as you boot the installer as uefi boot it will automatically do that for you | 01:39 |

| Nuclear_muffin | Is there a command I can type in terminal that will make it so I can hear my mic input? | 01:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Nuclear_muffin: you should be able to enable mic output in alsamixer | 01:43 |
| pfifo | Nuclear_muffin: you can turn the volume control up on you mic in alsamixer (on my card atleast) | 01:43 |
| pfifo | Nuclear_muffin: maybe `arecord | aplay` will be a second option | 01:44 |
| Nuclear_muffin | pfifo, It worked thank you. | 01:44 |
| Nuclear_muffin | pfifo, Its what I wanted, thanks | 01:44 |
| Nuclear_muffin | pfifo, Why is there so much feed back that I just didnt have when I was in windows? | 01:45 |
| pfifo | Nuclear_muffin: arecord and aplay by default use a really really crappy format, maybe try `arecord -f cd | aplay -f cd` | 01:46 |
| racho | Nuclear_muffin, you may want to open alsamixer press f5 and make sure Mic Boost is not ... too boosted | 01:46 |
| NEone | I have 2 identical servers. At least I thought so. Added own scripts to /etc/update-motd.d/ and one server actually show a new banner when ssh to it. But the other server does not update its motd:( Why? | 01:48 |
| jrib | NEone: are they both ubuntu? :) | 01:48 |
| bekks | NEone: Chech the sshd_config in /etc/ssh/ | 01:48 |
| bekks | *check even | 01:48 |
| NEone | both ubuntu 12.04, yes. sshd_config is identical in both. | 01:49 |
| NEone | Didn't find out where to check what's the timer/cronjob for updating this. So I rebooted both servers. One still has the new motd, the other one still didn't update it. | 01:50 |
| ki4ro | Anyone know if a fix has been found for 13.10 not recognizing MP3 players? | 01:50 |
| bekks | NEone: Reboots do not help when using linux, except you want to boot a new kernel. | 01:51 |
| racho | NEone, does /etc/update-motd.d/00-header file has its execution bit set up? | 01:51 |

| Crimson_Rogue | hello. I'm wondering if someone can tell me how to burn windows 7 on ubuntu | 01:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | james41382: if thats what you were going to ask | 01:53 |
| bekks | Crimson_Rogue: open a cd burning application, select the Windows 7 ISO, bur it as image, not as data cd. | 01:54 |
| Crimson_Rogue | brasareo work @ bekks? | 01:54 |
| james41382 | I don't personally have an SSD drive.. I don't even use ubuntu, but I have a friend who has setup ubuntu on a computer that has an ssd drive and they said they're having some problems so I thought I'd look into the details of it and determine if maybe I could give them some things to try to correct it. | 01:54 |
| NEone | racho: Yes, all the numbered scripts there do have the +x. (On both servers) | 01:54 |
| bekks | Crimson_Rogue: I never used brasero until now. | 01:54 |

| Crimson_Rogue | okay; thanks bekks I'll try brasero | 01:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | james41382: exactly what problems, we need details | 01:55 |
| talsamon | Crimson_Rogue, brasero works well, also xfburn.... | 01:55 |
| Crimson_Rogue | okay, and if I have ubuntu installed on my probook; will I be able to dual-boot with installing windows AFTER ubuntu? | 01:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crimson_Rogue: yes, but it can be a little harder to setup | 01:57 |
| Crimson_Rogue | okay hitsujiTMO; do I have to fix the GRUB for trusty? | 01:57 |
| Crimson_Rogue | or will windows ignore grub? | 01:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crimson_Rogue: is it uefi isntall or bios? | 01:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | install* | 01:58 |
| Crimson_Rogue | I have no idea... | 01:58 |
| Crimson_Rogue | all I know is I have ubuntu installed, and a windows iso | 01:58 |
| bekks | Crimson_Rogue: Windows will overwrite grub | 01:58 |
| Crimson_Rogue | okay bekks; is there an easy way to get grub back on without burning a seperate disk? | 01:59 |
| bekks | Crimson_Rogue: you need an ubuntu cd. | 01:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | for uefi its simplest to control the boot with the efi boot manager. you don;t need to do any extra finicky stuff to get it working | 01:59 |
| Crimson_Rogue | so I would have to enable uefi in the bios @ hitsujiTMO? | 01:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crimson_Rogue: yes for that. be aware that either os will try and set itself as the default boot anything their boot loader or kernel gets an update | 02:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | s/anything/anytime | 02:01 |
| Crimson_Rogue | okay, thank you hitsujiTMO | 02:01 |
| Crimson_Rogue | thank you bekks | 02:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Crimson_Rogue: for a bios/mbr boot you can also dd the grub bootstrap from the start of the drive before isntalling windows, then install dd in windows and dd it back. but thats more involved and dangerous than using boot repair | 02:04 |
| Crimson_Rogue | okay hitsujiTMO; thank you for your help | 02:04 |
| james41382 | Honestly I don't know the details off hand, but he said that it freezes now and then and that he thought it might have something to do with the SSD support. I read that SSD is support under GNU/Linux and that it works better with newer kernels. I believe he is running 12.04 or 12.10.. which is kernel 3.5? | 02:06 |
| james41382 | s/support/supported | 02:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | james41382: i doubt the ssd is the issue. | 02:07 |
| james41382 | hitsujiTMO: That's helpful. Thanks. So SSD has solid support out of the box.. no additional quirks to configure? | 02:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | james41382: prob more an issue to do with gpu or cpu | 02:08 |
| bekks | james41382: 12.04 is on kernel 3.8 currently. | 02:08 |
| james41382 | hitsujiTMO: Yeah I asked him if he knew what kind of video adapter was in the system, but he didn't know off hard. | 02:08 |
| james41382 | s/hard/hand | 02:08 |
| james41382 | 3.8.. okay. Well thanks a lot guys. You've been helpful. =] | 02:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | james41382: when it comes to drives, support is mostly technology agnostic. its the interface that ubuntu needs to support | 02:11 |
| NEone | !ln | 02:11 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:11 |
| NEone | !symlink | 02:12 |

| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: did you md5 verify the iso tho? | 02:54 |
| joecascio | No. | 02:54 |
| joecascio | I wouldn't know how to do that. | 02:54 |
| pfifo | joecascio: id go with mac over windows anyday | 02:54 |
| bruce | and then the downloaded file (downloaded via wget) is marked as executable with chmod +x. I did all that and now I get a message that I cannot execute this binary file. | 02:54 |
| Beldar | bruce, Technically 3rd party apps are not supported, you might consider just install the ubuntu server, much more support. | 02:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 02:55 |
| pfifo | joecascio: it sounds like the iso is broken | 02:55 |
| bruce | Beldar: I'm afraid that I won't have a running system. I had for days tried to get something to install. | 02:55 |
| pfifo | bruce: why isnt stuff installing? | 02:56 |
| joecascio | hitsujiTMO: Thank you. But what are the chances the ISO is bad? Does this happen a lot? | 02:56 |
| bruce | but does Ubuntu Server install anything special itself, that is not included with a desktop version? | 02:56 |
| Beldar | bruce, Not sure that is logical reasoning overall as far as support...etc, but heh its your decision. | 02:56 |
| madsailor | joecascio, even if the cd image verified it's still good practice to verify against the original md5 listed on the download page because it can get borked either during downloading or burning | 02:56 |
| bruce | I have a control panel setup on my hosting vps server and I installed zpanel, which is open source, versus cpanel which is not. | 02:57 |
| madsailor | easy to lose a bit here or there | 02:57 |
| pfifo | bruce: server dosent install Xorg and other gui related stuff | 02:57 |
| Beldar | bruce, The server is basically the same as the ubuntu base just no desktop. | 02:57 |
| === LoganG is now known as LoganG|off | ||
| === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG | ||
| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: it can happen occasionally. its an easy check to perform and good to get out of the way | 02:58 |
| bruce | ok, so this zpanel says that it needs to be installed before apache, Bind, mysql, dovecot, postfix, etc. It installs all that. | 02:58 |
| Arun | hitsuji: there is no such file now | 02:58 |
| bruce | The only thing I can figure, is that maybe the parent folder for this app does not have execute privileges | 02:59 |
| Beldar | bruce, the zpanel is a 3rd party you will not get support for it except from them or a forum or a irc channel is it the best solution? | 03:00 |
| bruce | I am using this system for development but I wanted to also learn sys admin and to simulate what I have on the remote server. | 03:00 |
| bruce | Beldar, I understand. I just don't understand in principle why an application would fail to execute. | 03:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | hmm, since there's no log to point to the issue i'd start randomly resetting configs till you find the issue. start by renaming the .config folder: mv ~/.config ~/.config.old | 03:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun^ | 03:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | then try to relog again | 03:01 |
| Arun | hitsuji: ok, btw i tried to go to the failsafe graphics mode and i got some error like screen not found | 03:02 |
| Beldar | bruce, Any number of reasons really, and this is not the place to fix it basically, you might try ##linux | 03:02 |
| pfifo | bruce: what application, what error messge is produced? | 03:02 |
| bruce | it makes it easy for getting email setup, as an aside... but the point of asking here is that on the Ubuntu box beside me, this app executed just fine. So, I'm just confused as to what would keep any app from executing... ok. | 03:02 |
| bruce | it is zpanel or zpanelx | 03:03 |
| pfifo | bruce: error message? | 03:04 |
| bruce | it says "Cannot execute this Binary file." It doesn't even get to any point of trying to check on ports being open or anything. Just immediately says cannot execute this binary file. It has execute privilege | 03:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun: since you are able to login with guest and not your own account, its most likely some config in your home causing the issue | 03:04 |
| bruce | the error message is "Cannot execute this Binary File" | 03:04 |
| pfifo | bruce, are you trying to run a 64bit app on a 32 bit system? | 03:04 |
| Arun | hitsuji: i'll try and tell | 03:04 |
| bruce | hmm good question. | 03:05 |
| bruce | that might be it... I think I unintentionally installed 32 bit Lubuntu | 03:05 |
| bruce | darn... I wonder how hard it is to upgrade to a 64 bit version of the OS? | 03:06 |
| pfifo | bruce exmine the output of 'file ./zpanelx` vs the output of `uname -a` | 03:06 |
| pfifo | bruce: you ve to reinstall, you cant upgrade from 32 to 64 | 03:07 |
| unicornjedi | hello. How do I see all the folders of my virtual machine in my host machine? | 03:08 |
| bruce | uname -a says i686 repeated 3 times? | 03:08 |
| Beldar | unicornjedi, Not sure you can a shared folder is the general use. | 03:09 |
| unicornjedi | beldar, okay | 03:09 |
| pfifo | bruce that a 32bit OS, if the other command says ELF 64-bit, then your trying to run 64 on a 32 | 03:09 |
| Beldar | unicornjedi, people use ssh that would probably work | 03:09 |
| bruce | I see | 03:09 |
| unicornjedi | okay, but I want to use a GUI to view the folders. :/ | 03:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | unicornjedi: you could set up an nfs share | 03:10 |
| Beldar | unicornjedi, This virtualbox? | 03:10 |
| bruce | is it hard to upgrade a system to 64-bit - a fairly new system install? | 03:10 |
| Arun | hitsuji: i've renamed .config to .config1 then restarted, but the problem persits | 03:11 |
| pfifo | bruce: its not hard, its impossible. | 03:11 |
| impossible | its me | 03:11 |
| Beldar | it's you | 03:11 |
| unicornjedi | beldar, I am on my host OS, but I want to use nautilus to see folders within my virtual machine | 03:11 |
| pfifo | arr ye scallywag | 03:11 |
| impossible | good choice unicornjedi | 03:11 |
| bruce | it's impossible? | 03:12 |
| Beldar | unicornjedi, sure and don;t want to answer questions, good luck. ;) | 03:12 |
| pfifo | bruce: you have to format and fresh install a 64bit system | 03:12 |
| unicornjedi | beldar, what. | 03:12 |
| bruce | Oh, I see | 03:12 |
| NEone | Is it possible to switch off IPv6 in Ubuntu 12.04 server? | 03:12 |
| wheatthin | unicornjedi, what is your host os? | 03:13 |
| Beldar | unicornjedi, "unicornjedi, This virtualbox?" | 03:13 |
| unicornjedi | wheatthin, ubuntu saucy salamander | 03:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun: next i'd try: .cache then: .compiz then: .gconf | 03:13 |
| unicornjedi | Beldar, yes | 03:13 |
| wheatthin | unicornjedi, just setup ssh server on the guest, and you can browse it through nautilus on the host | 03:13 |
| Beldar | unicornjedi, I don;t think what you want is possible but #vbox would probably a good source for more opinions. | 03:14 |
| NEone | Or can I tell apache2 to listen to tcp instead of tcp6 ? | 03:14 |
| bruce | maybe I should do that then. Just start with Ubuntu Server and then take it from there | 03:14 |
| unicornjedi | wheatthin, can you help me out with that on #vbox? | 03:14 |
| joecascio | hitsujiTMO: I just have funny feeling I'm creating a disk with entirely the wrong format. Like the Mac is not writing an ISO format. It's just writing the .iso file as a plain old file. Does that make any sense? | 03:15 |
| wheatthin | unicornjedi, nope.. just sudo apt-get install openssh-server on the guest if it's ubuntu as well | 03:15 |
| bruce | what is a good app for creating a bootable usb device? | 03:15 |
| Random832 | bootable how? from a livecd, or just in general? | 03:16 |
| pfifo | joecascio: that is a possibility, i have no idea how to verify that in mac | 03:16 |
| Random832 | i.e. do you want to generally boot a system and run off it, or do you want to install linux from a usb drive instead of from a cd | 03:16 |
| bruce | in general, from a download on a Ubuntu system | 03:16 |
| bruce | yes, I don't have any free dvds | 03:16 |
| Random832 | unetbootin has always worked for me | 03:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: ahh you burned it as data and not image. i think you can use disk utility to propperly burn the iso, otherwise you need to convert it to an .img and then burn wuth disk utility | 03:17 |
| wheatthin | joecascio, Umm you mean a dmg file instead of an iso? | 03:17 |
| Beldar | !who | Random832 | 03:17 |
| ubottu | Random832: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:17 |
| Random832 | Beldar: the traffic's not that high at 10 at night | 03:17 |
| Random832 | but anyway, bruce knows i'm talking to him | 03:17 |
| unicornjedi | wheatthin, soooo, I have openssh server. What do I do now | 03:17 |
| bruce | I want to download the latest version of Ubuntu 12.04 server and burn it to a bootable usb device | 03:17 |
| Random832 | bruce: unetbootin | 03:17 |
| bruce | ok | 03:18 |
| Beldar | Random832, not an issue to argue just use nicks it is a common courtesy. | 03:18 |
| bruce | thanks | 03:18 |
| wheatthin | unicornjedi, go to nautilus and connect to server :) give your credentials and vuala | 03:18 |
| Random832 | bruce: it'll even download it for you | 03:18 |
| joecascio | wheatthin: No, not a dmg. Just a plain old file to dvd. | 03:18 |
| Arun | hitsuji: renamed all the three still no use :( | 03:18 |
| wheatthin | bruce, use dd | 03:18 |
| Random832 | wheatthin: does that work? i heard that doesn't work | 03:18 |
| wheatthin | Random832, and why wouldn't it work? lol | 03:19 |
| === S-USA is now known as SonikkuAmerica | ||
| bruce | use dd? | 03:19 |
| Random832 | because the iso format is meant to boot from a cd and most systems won't know what to do with it if they find it on a different kind of disk | 03:19 |
| bruce | how does it download it? | 03:19 |
| wheatthin | by using DD, it's an exact replica | 03:19 |
| Random832 | bruce: unetbootin? you select ubuntu 12.04 from a list of things it lets you download | 03:19 |
| bruce | oh, ok | 03:20 |
| Random832 | wheatthin: have you ever done this? do you know what you're talking about, or are you just assuming it would work | 03:20 |
| wheatthin | Random832, I wouldn't suggest it if I hadn't done it or suggested it multiple times already | 03:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun: ok can you create a new account: adduser <newuser> | 03:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun: sudo adduser <nuwuser> sorry | 03:20 |
| Arun | hitsuji: abandon this one? | 03:21 |
| bruce | thanks, later... | 03:21 |
| Random832 | huh then i'm not sure why unetbootin exists | 03:21 |
| konstantinos | hello there | 03:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | Arun: no, just going to reset the home folder, which you need another account to do | 03:22 |
| pfifo | ive been able to get a USB stick to boot by using dd to write an iso to it. but it dosent always work. | 03:22 |
| wheatthin | Random832, DD works universaly :) Are you sure you know what you're talking about? | 03:22 |
| Arun | hitsuji: ok | 03:22 |
| Random832 | wheatthin: some bioses might be picky about it, see what pfifo said | 03:22 |
| wheatthin | pfifo, it should always work if you have a system that boots from a usb device. | 03:22 |
| wheatthin | But that has nothing to do with DD itself. | 03:23 |
| Arun | hitsuji: created | 03:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | Arun: sudo usermod -aG sudo <newuser> | 03:23 |
| pfifo | wheatthin: some time it can be a bios problem, but also the iso file itself can be the problem, for example, I have never been able to get the mini.iso to work with dd | 03:24 |
| Random832 | some systems can boot from a regular filesystem on usb and not from an iso | 03:24 |
| wheatthin | Random832, it doesn't show up as an iso fyi | 03:24 |
| Arun | hitsuji: done | 03:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun: once thats done, relog to the new user | 03:24 |
| Random832 | wheatthin: i'm talking about the format, not the name | 03:25 |
| Random832 | FAT vs ISO | 03:25 |
| Arun | hitsuji: logged in to the new uset | 03:25 |
| Random832 | the filesystem typ | 03:25 |
| Random832 | e | 03:25 |
| Arun | *user | 03:25 |
| wheatthin | if it's a proper bootable image, there should be no problems. | 03:25 |
| Random832 | wheatthin: you're not listening | 03:25 |
| Random832 | there are two types of bootable filesystem - FAT and ISO | 03:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun: ok: sudo mv /home/<olduser> /home/<olduser>.old | 03:26 |
| Random832 | some systems cannot handle ISO on a usb drive | 03:26 |
| unicornjedi | wheatthin, I connected to the server but all I see is the 'print' folder | 03:26 |
| wheatthin | unicornjedi, you have to specify the path you want to use. | 03:26 |
| joecascio | hitsujiTMO: The other strange thing is that when I burn the .iso file, the final dialog says, "Image blahblah.iso burned successfully". But then the Mac can't mount the completed disk. | 03:26 |
| Random832 | if you don't even know what FAT is or how it is relevant, just stop having this conversation. saying "it doesn't show up as an iso" or thinking that's relevant to what i said shows your ignorance | 03:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: can the mac mount the .iso? | 03:27 |
| Arun | hitsuji: ok done | 03:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun: sudo cp -r /etc/skel /home/<olduser> | 03:27 |
| wheatthin | joecascio, it can't mount it, because of it's encoded filesystem for a livedvd image. | 03:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | arun: sudo chown -R <olduser>:<olduser> /home/<olduser> | 03:28 |
| joecascio | hitsujiTMO: No, just tried that actually. Says, "no mountable file system". | 03:28 |
| pfifo | joecascio: what is the size of the iso file? | 03:29 |
| wheatthin | osx doesn't natively support ext file systems | 03:29 |
| unicornjedi | wheatthin, So Open Nautlius > connect to server > IPAddress ????? | 03:29 |
| Arun | hitsuji: done | 03:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: try this: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx | 03:29 |
| wheatthin | unicornjedi, yes, ssh:ipaddress then login info | 03:29 |

| hitsujiTMO | pfifo: wait im wrong | 03:31 |
| pfifo | i know | 03:31 |
| joecascio | pfifo: That's the download from ubuntu.com. It's the 32 bit version | 03:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: you need the 64bit for mac | 03:32 |
| unicornjedi | wheatthin, can you give me a specific example? ssh:192.168.1.24/???? | 03:32 |
| pfifo | joecascio: on linux i run `md5sum file.iso` and if mac dosent have md5sum then. well thats pretty silly | 03:32 |

| BuntuFuntu | Hey ya'll. I need help with a Touchpad issue? | 03:33 |
| wheatthin | unicornjedi, heh.. You just have to specify the protocol and the ipaddress and then the login credentials. | 03:33 |

| ^^Superfluous^^ | In cinnamon, my screen freezes occasionally when using the touchpad | 03:34 |
| BuntuFuntu | Touchpad isn't even working in live mode anymore. | 03:34 |

| Beldar | BuntuFuntu, Can you consolidate this into one post so you can actually be followed | 03:35 |
| wheatthin | unicornjedi, Ummm you're obviously not following the onscreen prompt that you SHOOULD get when you get to 'Connect to Server' | 03:35 |
| BuntuFuntu | Long story short. Buntu needs his touchpad to work again Beldar. | 03:35 |
| Beldar | BuntuFuntu, Then wait for help, and not spread it all over the channel. ;) | 03:36 |
| wheatthin | BuntuFuntu, make sure your synaptic package is still installed | 03:36 |

| pfifo | knoxy: i dont mean to scare you, but it sounds like part of a rootkit, and google didnt have any results about it. I was hoping you say its your own pet project. | 03:49 |
| Beldar | zaccattak217, if it works yes. | 03:49 |
| zaccattak217 | cool. thanks Beldar | 03:49 |
| knoxy | hitsujiTMO: I dont know... I'm trying to upgrade the kernel.... only upgrade | 03:50 |
| Beldar | zaccattak217, No problem, use the skype from the ubuntu repos. | 03:50 |
| bruce | for some reason, the ubuntu server 12.04 did not detect my ethernet card. | 03:50 |
| knoxy | pfifo: hmm, rootkit? hacker tool? | 03:50 |
| zaccattak217 | how do i do that? | 03:50 |
| Beldar | zaccattak217, sudo apt-get install skype in the terminal | 03:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | knoxy: do you have an encrypted filesystem? | 03:51 |
| bruce | I tried to install Ubuntu server using Unetbootin and it says that no network adapter can be found. | 03:51 |
| pfifo | knoxy, could be from your ISP as part of control panels, or other 3rd party tools | 03:51 |
| zaccattak217 | sowhat if i already installed it from their website? | 03:51 |
| Beldar | zaccattak217, There is also the ubuntu software center to install apps with. | 03:51 |
| knoxy | hitsujiTMO: this is a dedicated server. The datacenter install ubuntu to me.. | 03:51 |

| PDilyard_ | ok im on a uefi machine and i've deallocated the space that i had 12.10 installed in (im installing 13.10). When, I run the installer, ubuntu does not give me the option to install alongside windows (which, in my experience, will install into the unallocated space) | 03:53 |
| pfifo | knoxy, well this is failing because it cant find /lib/lib__mdma.so.1 which seems to be from some 3rd party | 03:54 |
| PDilyard_ | so if i choose "something else" in the installer, how do i select what partition to install to? | 03:54 |
| knoxy | pfifo: I always updated the server. I've problems only with this upgrade.... | 03:54 |
| Beldar | PDilyard_, Was that you experience with the 12.10 install? | 03:54 |
| Beldar | your* | 03:54 |
| knoxy | pfifo: I've this server since 2011 I think... | 03:55 |
| zaccattak217 | it says i have the current version so i'll just keep what i have | 03:55 |
| PDilyard_ | Beldar: no, that was my experience on my desktop, which is not uefi | 03:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | knoxy: that looks to be something to do with filesystem encryption ( which explains why its being called that this point ) this is something you'll need to get onto your provider about straight away. DO NOT reboot the machine | 03:55 |
| Beldar | PDilyard_, Ah well uefi is different hold on for the bot. | 03:55 |
| Beldar | !uefi | PDilyard | 03:55 |

| pfifo | knoxy: no, dont reboot, make a backup of your stuff | 03:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | knoxy: if it is an encrypted filesystem then it may fail to boot with the broken initramfs | 03:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: no, try mounting the .dmg | 03:59 |
| PDilyard_ | Beldar: i understand that its different, but im having trouble understand what im supposed to actually do differently, as the steps for installation are unclear (e.g. "install ubuntu in the usual manner") | 03:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | joecascio: if that works unmount it and burn it away | 03:59 |
| Beldar | PDilyard_, If I knew uefi I would help you. | 04:00 |
| zaccattak217 | xangua: windows install? | 04:00 |
| PDilyard_ | mmk well im rebooting then | 04:00 |
| Oddity | zaccattak217, he means to use Windows. Either dual-boot or install it in a virtual machine. | 04:00 |
| zaccattak217 | what's a virtual machine? | 04:01 |
| Oddity | 04:01 | |
| hitsujiTMO | zaccattak217: a virtual machine allows you to install a virtual computer with windows inside your ubuntu installation | 04:02 |

| noobsz | any ideas on as to why I can no longer use my password for sudo? | 04:49 |
| noobsz | or su? | 04:49 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: I have recovery option in CD that should help right ? | 04:50 |

| zzxc | Beldar, I'm not really sure how that would happen. Then is a monitor attached currently but the machine generally runs headless. I did a 10.04 -> 12.04 upgrade a while back that broke my system. I'm trying to fix it now so there is a monitor attached. | 04:50 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, That will work this a mbr msdos or a uefi install? | 04:50 |
| mikeshollen | When I install Ubuntu Server, if I chose to install services like LAMP or OpenSSH, will they initially only take up storage space until I need to use them for something, or will they consume CPU and RAM just for choosing to install them from the CD? | 04:50 |
| tgm4883 | mikeshollen, they will start their services at boot | 04:51 |
| zzxc | Beldar, I've tried both the ubuntu server iso and the ubuntu desktop instance. | 04:51 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, YOu can reload the windows bootloader is the point here. | 04:51 |
| mikeshollen | I can always install them later then, correct? | 04:51 |
| tgm4883 | yes | 04:51 |
| pfifo | mikeshollen: they will use cpu nd ram if you start them, but if you dont start them, only space | 04:51 |
| tgm4883 | or you could disable their startup | 04:52 |
| mikeshollen | If I want a web-admin service to remote control my server from my iPhone or another computer, do I need OpenSSH? | 04:52 |
| tgm4883 | pfifo, they start by default | 04:52 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: I tried using the windows 7 CD... when I tried for recovery option it asked for fresh installation so I dont think that will help | 04:52 |
| Beldar | zzxc, both have a blinking cursor, the server has no X, a blin king cursor generally is a missing driver for a desktop install. | 04:52 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: I think I will need to try ubuntu live | 04:52 |
| lemonsparrow | I can access the grub terminal.. | 04:52 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, YOu would not run the recovefry but use the command line, once grub is in the mbr it wont repair that. | 04:52 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen, you can but if you means of connectioning to the server is ssh you're kind of SOL. | 04:53 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, YOu have the live ubuntu right? | 04:53 |
| mikeshollen | What would you recommend for running a headless server so that I can control it from another device? | 04:53 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: no I am downloading it now.. earlier I had used a usb it got corrupt... so now I am downloading it again from another machine | 04:53 |
| zzxc | Beldar, doesn't Grub use X though I thought. | 04:54 |
| tgm4883 | mikeshollen, SSH | 04:54 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen. Yep what tgm4883 did. | 04:54 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, so what do want as of now, there is a script we can look at run from the live ubuntu to see whats on the hd? | 04:54 |
| mikeshollen | zzxc: What did you mean by I'm SOL? | 04:54 |
| zykotick9 | zzxc: grub does NOT use X | 04:54 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: now when I boot my machine I get the option to chose b/w windows and ubuntu.. when I chose windows I am taken back to the o/s selection page again...when I chose ubuntu.. I get the error Kernel panic - Not syncing: no init found. Try passing init=option to kernel” 12.04 first boot | 04:55 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, Right but that does not really answer what you want, the end goal. | 04:55 |
| tgm4883 | mikeshollen, I'm not sure what he meant by that. As long as you install the SSH server, you should be fine to connect | 04:55 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: end goal is to get thiis issue fixed.. if not by successfully installting ubuntu then atleast by making sure I save windows and all data.. | 04:56 |
| mikeshollen | If I select OpenSSH during installation of ubuntu server, is that what you are referring to by installing the SSH server? | 04:56 |
| zzxc | zykotick9, Sorry worried that incorrectly. I meant grub doesn't use X and I'm not getting to Grub so so I doesn't make sense for it to be issue with drivers and X. | 04:56 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, Did you resize windows with the ubuntu install, or remove any partitions from the HD? | 04:56 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen: Shit out of Luck = SOL. | 04:56 |
| tgm4883 | mikeshollen, yes | 04:56 |
| mikeshollen | I know, buy why would I be SOL | 04:56 |
| zykotick9 | zzxc: have you tried nomodeset? that's the 1st thing to try, with boot to black screen issues... best of luck. | 04:57 |
| xmetal | !nomodeset | 04:57 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 04:57 |
| === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek | ||
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: remove any partitions from the HD NO and as for resize windows with the ubuntu install, I didnt get what you meant.. | 04:57 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen: Well if you're running headless you need a way to connect to the machine. | 04:57 |
| lemonsparrow | pi_: Beldar what is the solution now ? | 04:58 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen. I mean you could do something weird like tel-net. but unless you have a monitor to attach when things go sideways it dones't make a lot of sense. | 04:58 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, ubuntu has to have unallocated space to install to, so how did you have that? With a choice of install alongside in the ubuntu install gui or reszing windows in windows or ubuntu to have that space. | 04:58 |
| mikeshollen | I can use my TV if things go poorly | 04:59 |
| mikeshollen | Do you guys recommend enabling automatic security updates for an LTS server install? | 04:59 |
| cfhowlett | mikeshollen, I would ... | 04:59 |
| tgm4883 | mikeshollen, depends on the server's job | 04:59 |
| mikeshollen | The server's job is to host communication servers like murmur and teamspeak | 05:00 |
| mikeshollen | possibly web hosting at some point | 05:00 |
| * zykotick9 thinks auto updating is a bad idea... | 05:00 | |
| cfhowlett | zykotick9, even security updates? | 05:00 |
| tgm4883 | mikeshollen, I'm guessing based on your previous questions, that it's a home server or other server for personal use. If it's publically accessible via the internet, then you have 2 options | 05:00 |
| tgm4883 | 1) enable auto-updates for security updates | 05:00 |
| zzxc | zykotic9, Yeah I'm guessing thats probably the case. Thanks. Do you know how to set up nomodnet on a server install? | 05:01 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: OK.. Ill explain.. I had only one drive in my windows.. C... it had windows and all my data.. while running ubuntu installer I chose the freespace from C drive... so both windows, ubuntu and my data is in one logical drive C | 05:01 |
| lotuspsychje | is there a way to lock useraccounts icon, to prevent other users to read the userlist? | 05:01 |
| zykotick9 | cfhowlett: yes even those... the admin should know what was just installed, if things go bad... MY OPINION ONLY! | 05:01 |
| tgm4883 | 2) Have a good plan for vetting and applying updates | 05:01 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, This a wubi install? | 05:01 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, while I agree with you, lets face it. Most people just do the apt-get upgrade (or dist-upgrade) and don't look at what is updating | 05:01 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: no bootale USb . | 05:01 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, and they do that whenever they remember to | 05:01 |
| mikeshollen | tgm4883, this will be a public use server. All the communications servers will be password protected but I will be using dynamic DNS to share them with friends and coworkers. | 05:02 |
| zzxc | cfhowlett: Yeah I have to agree with zykotick9 on that one. Either you can do it once a week manually or have it shut down in time of use. | 05:02 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, YOU can't install ubuntu in windows as you have described. | 05:02 |
| pi_ | lemonsparrow: i have o go my friend, if you want any help, i'll msg you my email | 05:02 |
| lemonsparrow | pi_: stay for 2 mins | 05:02 |
| zzxc | tgm4883L if id didn't require sudo leave you could run a chron job during an inactive time. | 05:02 |
| cfhowlett | zzxc, zykotick9 points taken | 05:02 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: pi_ OK so then I messed it up perhaps by having both in one drive... now what';s the way out ?/ | 05:03 |
| noobsz | damn well that didn't work | 05:03 |
| noobsz | =() | 05:03 |
| tgm4883 | mikeshollen, let me respond with asking another question. If an update breaks the system and it goes down for awhile, how bad is it | 05:03 |
| pi_ | lemonsparrow: i'll try and return in about an hour if possible, something important has just come up, sorry :( | 05:03 |

| Beldar | lemonsparrow, Same drive is fine. | 05:04 |
| tgm4883 | noobsz, add it to the correct group? | 05:04 |
| mikeshollen | tgm4883, No one would be losing money since it is for non-profit use. The only thing that would be upsetting would be if I was too busy to respond to the issue within a few hours, | 05:04 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: ok so now what's the solution to get this whole thing fixed.. | 05:04 |
| noobsz | tgm4883: I can't | 05:04 |
| lemonsparrow | pfifo: sure.. :) | 05:04 |
| tgm4883 | noobsz, you need to boot to recovery mode | 05:04 |
| noobsz | tgm4883: I can't authenticate and it's my only account | 05:04 |
| mikeshollen | I think I will probably do them manually maybe twice a month. | 05:04 |
| noobsz | I did | 05:04 |
| tgm4883 | !recovery | 05:04 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 05:04 |
| zzxc | tgm4883: Mmmm, good point. | 05:04 |
| noobsz | I did this http://askubuntu.com/questions/266986/authentication-failed-with-the-correct-password-and-now-i-cannot-use-sudo-anymor | 05:04 |
| noobsz | and it didn't work | 05:05 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen: just have just set up a cronjob for a time that you won't need to use the machine to do an update. | 05:05 |
| tgm4883 | noobsz, how did you break it | 05:05 |
| noobsz | I dunno | 05:05 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: ? | 05:05 |
| noobsz | I haven't done anything | 05:05 |
| zykotick9 | noobsz: 1) did you change the name of your computer by chance? 2) "groups" in a terminal, does it show sudo? | 05:05 |
| tgm4883 | noobsz, now that is a lie | 05:05 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, Get to the live ubuntu desktop and use the bootrepair to run only the bootinfo summary and post the url to it. This will answer the important questions I have to actually help you. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 05:06 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, why would changing the name of a computer break sudo? | 05:06 |
| noobsz | tgm4883: Nothing out of the ordinary like installing a few things flash plugin was one | 05:06 |
| mikeshollen | zzxc, that's a good idea. I was going to use cronjob to run TRIM maintenance as well. | 05:06 |
| tgm4883 | noobsz, sorry, I just don't believe you | 05:06 |
| noobsz | zykotick9: no, I didn't | 05:06 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: if your hostname and hosts doesn't match - sudo breaks | 05:06 |
| zykotick9 | noobsz: and are you in the sudo group? | 05:07 |
| noobsz | tgm4883: It worked up until about 5 minutes ago. I have installed Chromium, flash, htop, nmap, and a handful of others | 05:07 |
| noobsz | that's it | 05:07 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9, ah, yea, I thought you just meant changing it (eg properly) would break it | 05:07 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, The bootinfo script generated will tell us what is where, very important info to fix this. | 05:07 |
| zykotick9 | !hostname | tgm4883 fyi ;) | 05:08 |
| ubottu | tgm4883 fyi ;): Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 05:08 |
| noobsz | yes I am in groups | 05:08 |
| hamzad | how to write c programm in linux plz help me i m new on it | 05:08 |
| zykotick9 | noobsz: "in groups", is "sudo" listed when you type "groups"? | 05:08 |
| noobsz | I haven't changed anything. I did change smb.conf the workgroup to MSHOME but that's it and it was working fine for a while | 05:08 |
| noobsz | zykotick9: yes | 05:08 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: ok... so I will do that... I am sought of half way through my download of ubuntu live.. once it's done I will run the script.. will you be around ? | 05:08 |
| zykotick9 | noobsz: ok. | 05:08 |
| mikeshollen | How do I tell my software servers to automatically launch when the system boots? | 05:09 |
| noobsz | I tried to reboot in recovery mount /, and chroot /mnt usermod -a -G | 05:09 |
| noobsz | rebooted didn't work | 05:09 |
| noobsz | in fact I couldn't chroot in recovery | 05:09 |
| noobsz | it kept giving me an error saying chroot: usermod no such command or something of that effect | 05:09 |
| zzxc | Maaan this is irksome. | 05:10 |
| noobsz | but if I just used usermod by itself, it would give all the switch options | 05:10 |
| tgm4883 | noobsz, that isn't a single command | 05:10 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, I will be here for an hour an 45 min gone for a hlf hour than back. | 05:10 |
| noobsz | tgm4883: I know, I mean when I tried what was listed in that help article | 05:10 |
| zykotick9 | noobsz: using usermod is a GOOD way to break sudo | 05:10 |
| tgm4883 | !recovery | 05:10 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 05:10 |
| noobsz | zykotick9: I was using it to try and get it back | 05:10 |
| tgm4883 | noobsz, what help article | 05:10 |
| noobsz | http://askubuntu.com/questions/266986/authentication-failed-with-the-correct-password-and-now-i-cannot-use-sudo-anymor | 05:10 |
| noobsz | That | 05:11 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: ok.. so I believe in the boot repain UI itself I can find the option to generate the bootinfo summary right ? | 05:11 |
| noobsz | I didn't use usermod ever until just recently | 05:11 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: then shall copy paste it to you ... :) to further analyse the issue.,. | 05:11 |
| noobsz | and the only reason I used it is because that is what was said to do in order to try and get sudo auth back | 05:11 |
| zykotick9 | noobsz: fyi, when you change any user's groups - you need to log out and back in... (in case you didn't already know) | 05:11 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, Take a look at the link it shows the gui that comes up when you run it there is a bootinfo button there and a repair run just the bootinfo summary. | 05:11 |
| zzxc | Alright I did some research into and I don't think its nomodeset bc: I'm not loading to grub & the install disk works fine. | 05:12 |
| noobsz | zykotick9: I rebooted | 05:12 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: yep got it,, thanks a lot..catch up with you with the report in some time.. thanks | 05:12 |
| zzxc | Am I just missing what nomodeset does? | 05:12 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, No problem that bootinfo summary is a script we used to run till the app maker incorporated in to a full repair app. | 05:13 |
| noobsz | I have no idea what happened | 05:13 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: oh.. I see | 05:13 |
| zykotick9 | noobsz: do you get an error when you run "sudo foo"? | 05:14 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, easier to generate from a gui, and that app is an good repair toll otherwaise. | 05:14 |
| zykotick9 | noobsz: and foo is just a variable - when you run "sudo apt-get update" type thing? | 05:14 |

| MVanDruff | any ideas | 05:23 |
| zykotick9 | MVanDruff: from terminal, does "cat /proc/asound/cards" show your card? | 05:24 |
| MVanDruff | no it doesnt | 05:25 |
| zykotick9 | MVanDruff: that's not good ;) that means ALSA and thus probably your kernel/module setup is not detecting your card correctly. do you see it in the output of "lspci" assuming it's a pci/onboard card. | 05:26 |
| MVanDruff | its not onboard | 05:26 |
| mikeshollen | What is the difference between using OpenSSH and Puppet for remote administration of my server? | 05:27 |
| zykotick9 | mikeshollen: those are not related things... | 05:27 |
| MVanDruff | its a soundblaster audigy albeit that it is 11 years old | 05:27 |
| mikeshollen | Can you help a linux newb by explaining further? | 05:27 |
| zykotick9 | mikeshollen: ssh is secure shell/scp-sftp/other stuff. Puppet is to control a large number of servers in the same way, like a central control. | 05:28 |
| mikeshollen | zykotick9, so I would use puppet if I needed to deploy the same actions to a server farm, and I would use ssh for remote controlling a single server? | 05:29 |
| zykotick9 | mikeshollen: i'd imagine you can run puppet over ssh ;) | 05:29 |

| zzxc | Hey is there any inherint issue with downloading a image on a OSX machine using dd to copy of the system the install it on a machine that doens't use an IFE? | 05:33 |
| reisio | zzxc: an IFE? | 05:33 |
| Beldar | Private_User, You can't repair ram. | 05:33 |
| zzxc | EFI* sorry. | 05:33 |
| Private_User | Beldar, :( | 05:33 |
| reisio | zzxc: an Ubuntu image? | 05:34 |
| Beldar | Private_User, If you have multiple sticks you can remove them one at a time and see if it is just one of them. | 05:34 |
| zzxc | reisio, yep. Server image. I remeber reading something along those lines a while back. That images from a mac are only useful on a mac. | 05:34 |
| reisio | zzxc: even if it ended up broken you could fix it | 05:35 |
| Private_User | Beldar, ok cool I will try that, hopefully it works since each stick is 256MB and I only have 2 of them. So then that is a conclusion that all my internal errors in ubuntu were related to this issue | 05:35 |
| zzxc | reisio, But I don't remeber the context, or the reasoning. I'm wondering if that might be part of my issues right now. | 05:35 |
| reisio | zzxc: you could also mount it and copy just the files, and make a partition layout from scratch | 05:35 |
| Beldar | Private_User, awfully low ram to run ubuntu, hard to say if this was all the errors. | 05:36 |
| zzxc | reisio, Yeah but then you end up with a drive that doesn't have the bootable flag. And no UEFI manager. | 05:37 |
| zzxc | *sign* It could also be that the machine's drives are just failing. That would royally suck. | 05:37 |
| Private_User | ok cool no worries let me check what happens when I remove each RAM. The errors only started like maybe a day or 2 ago and when I try to vew report the apport crashes and the machine hangs. thanks Beldar | 05:38 |
| mikeshollen | When I first install server LTS, am I correct that I am not running in a root account, but I am a member of sudoers? If this is the case, do I need to create any additional users to protect my software servers within ubuntu server? | 05:39 |
| Beldar | Private_User, No problem, I wiuld run lubuntu with that ram is all. | 05:39 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen, Not quite. | 05:39 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen, root has all privillages. When you run something a sudo you are basically doing a su root. | 05:40 |
| zzxc | So you're using the root user to make the changes. | 05:40 |
| mikeshollen | zzxc, but how do I manage users in linux? In windows I wouldn't run my murmur server in the administrators account, I'd create a user account to run it in. Do I need to do something like this in ubuntu server? | 05:41 |
| tigerL | join /ubuntu_cn | 05:41 |
| zzxc | You create a user. Give them sudoer permission and then lock down the root. You should have to log in to gain access to the account. | 05:44 |
| mikeshollen | zzxc, so then without doing that, I am in fact in root after the initial install? | 05:45 |
| zykotick9 | mikeshollen: server uses sudo (not root). typically when you install a service, it adds a user for that server automatically (usually, no idea about murmur) | 05:46 |
| Beldar | zzxc, Not really a very good description of how ubuntu runs, there is no root account to start with. | 05:46 |
| mikeshollen | So if there is no root to start, then I am safe to use sudo to do my software server installs, and ubuntu creates the appropriate protection for something like murmur? | 05:47 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen: Actually I'm thinking of a different Distro. And | 05:47 |
| zzxc | Beldar, How do you mean there is no user root? | 05:47 |
| buu | mikeshollen: What do you mean by safe? Sudo temporarily invokes 'root' permissions to do something. | 05:48 |
| zykotick9 | mikeshollen: usually for services, yes. for murmur - I have no idea... | 05:48 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Its like the prompt windows added to ask you if you really want to do something, except you tell it before hand =] | 05:48 |
| zzxc | buu, Additionally sudo bash give you command prompt the ability to run everything as root. | 05:48 |
| Beldar | zzxc, this is not debian. | 05:48 |
| buu | zzxc: ubuntu installs with the root user disabled from logging in by default | 05:48 |
| Beldar | there is no root password for example | 05:49 |
| hurdorbsd | which is the most updated linux with latest kernel? | 05:50 |
| Beldar | hurdorbsd, this is ubuntu support do you mean this in that context? | 05:50 |
| zzxc | Beldar, Right but there is a root user. It just fairly transent. There is no password, it doesn't have the same type of home directory, you can't do a su root. | 05:50 |
| hurdorbsd | ya | 05:51 |
| mikeshollen | Forgive my inexperience, but from what it sounds like, I don't really need to create any additional users since root is disabled by default and I can temporarily gain root privileges by password. | 05:51 |
| hurdorbsd | which kernel is ubuntu 13.10 using? | 05:51 |
| Beldar | zzxc, ONe can get to a root account yes, it was that your decsiption and syntax is a bit off is all. | 05:51 |
| Beldar | hurdorbsd, 3.11 | 05:51 |
| hurdorbsd | 3.11? is it stable? | 05:52 |
| zzxc | buu, Interesting I didn't know that. Actually I've always ssh'ed through the ubuntu user on AWS and created my own user. | 05:52 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Well, its slightly more secure to create additional users to run services, that way if the service gets exploited it has less permissions than your regular user | 05:52 |
| buu | mikeshollen: For example it couldn't write to your home directory and files. | 05:52 |
| Beldar | hurdorbsd, It's released, stable would be a personal opinion in the end really. | 05:52 |
| zzxc | Beldar, Right, fair enough. | 05:52 |
| hurdorbsd | which ubuntu is using 3.10 lts kernel ?? | 05:52 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Lots of "major" services, like mail daemons and webservers, will add and run as their own separate user account. | 05:52 |
| Beldar | !13.10 | 05:53 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes | 05:53 |
| mikeshollen | buy, so this is unlike windows in that, windows you would log into one user and run all applications within that user, whereas linux you can be logged in as your non-root user, and then run services as different users specific to the service? | 05:53 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Yes | 05:53 |
| buu | mikeshollen: In short. | 05:53 |
| mikeshollen | buu, I understand the concept now. thanks for your patience. | 05:53 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Most old/large services like apache will allow you to specify a user to run as, for example you tell apache to run as user 'www-data', then you *start* it as root, it performs operations that need root permissions, such as listening on port 80, then changes its user to www-data | 05:54 |
| hurdorbsd | is there a linux which uses 3.12 kernel? | 05:54 |
| Beldar | mikeshollen, abstractly ubuntu is like an admin account with a password to execute in windows, | 05:54 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Note that root can change to any user but any user can't go to root without passwords, obviously. | 05:54 |
| Beldar | hurdorbsd, The development 14.04 does | 05:54 |
| hurdorbsd | Oh | 05:55 |
| buu | mikeshollen: But you can also explicitly run as a different user by using the sudo -u user; command | 05:55 |
| hurdorbsd | where can I find the development iso? | 05:55 |
| hurdorbsd | with xfce please | 05:55 |
| Beldar | mikeshollen, Really more like a standard account in windows where you can use the password for admin functions. | 05:55 |
| mikeshollen | buy, is there a possibility if I start a service with sudo and have it assigned to a user, that it could break functionality of the service at some point? | 05:55 |
| * buu glances around the channel | 05:56 | |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: | 05:56 |
| buu | Is there someone named buy here? | 05:56 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, yes. | 05:56 |
| lemonsparrow | downloading live.. :) | 05:56 |
| mikeshollen | typo | 05:56 |
| buu | mikeshollen: The question is slightly vague, but as long as you always run it as the same user, it should always work in the same way | 05:56 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, cool | 05:57 |
| pi_ | lemonsparrow: i'm back, do you still need help? :) | 05:57 |
| buu | That is, if it works the first time, it should work the second time! | 05:57 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: pi_ I am still downliading live.,.. | 05:57 |
| Beldar | pi_, Are you familiar with the bootscript? | 05:57 |
| pi_ | lemonsparrow: ah, ok :) | 05:57 |
| pi_ | Beldar: sorry, nope :( | 05:58 |
| mikeshollen | buu, my auto correct doesn't like your name :-) So this would prevent someone from gaining access to system files through one of my voice servers if they found a way to exploit the voice server? | 05:58 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen & buu: And you have to also enable a user's ability to do this. It's generally off by default on new uers. | 05:58 |
| Beldar | pi_, we are going to use it to duagnose the problems lemonsparrow is having, just a heads up. | 05:58 |
| Beldar | diagnose* | 05:58 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: (Y) | 05:58 |
| pi_ | Beldar: thanks :) | 05:59 |
| lemonsparrow | Beldar: when I ran windows repair.. the problem shown is no os installed.. | 05:59 |
| Beldar | no problem | 05:59 |
| pi_ | lemonsparrow: which windows do you have? | 05:59 |
| Beldar | lemonsparrow, Hard to say why the script will tell us whats up. | 05:59 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Yes, there is two levels here. The first level is that any user account can't access system level files, like the kernel and related configuration files. The second is that running as a *different* user means that they can't *write* (by default) to your personal files. | 06:00 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Note that they can read most files on the system by default, assuming they have full control over a user account. | 06:00 |
| wilornel | Hey guys, my laptop's wireless card and audio card/driver is not working properly(not working at all), so I decided to switch from EFI mode to Legacy. Here it says I need to make a new partition with a bios_grub, I can't set one..: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Converting_Ubuntu_into_Legacy_mode | 06:01 |
| wilornel | are* ... with a bios_grub flag*... | 06:01 |
| mikeshollen | When I setup murmur, I believe it uses port 64738 for TCP and UDP. Do I simply open that port through NetFilter or do I forward requests on that port to the murmur application? I am currently familiar with the Zone Alarm interface in Windows, but I have no experience with NetFilter. | 06:02 |
| Beldar | wilornel, THat is an option before installing. | 06:02 |
| wilornel | Beldar: The flagging? | 06:02 |
| zzxc | Think 8gb is enough for /, /boot/ and /user for a headless server? | 06:03 |
| bee_mo | howdy | 06:03 |
| Beldar | wilornel, EFI mode to Legacy. | 06:03 |
| zzxc | bee_mo Hey how are you doing? | 06:03 |
| wilornel | It's weird, because on Ubuntu's website, it says that "If Ubuntu is _installed_ on a GPT disk:..." | 06:03 |
| wilornel | Beldar, ^ | 06:03 |
| bee_mo | is the login to www.ubuntuone.com different than the errors.ubuntu.com? I'm getting a openID error. | 06:04 |
| Beldar | wilornel, It says to use the bootrepair app. | 06:04 |
| pi_ | zzxc: yepp, i have a raspberry pi doing the exact same. | 06:04 |
| wilornel | Beldar: it says to use Gparted if I use GPT | 06:05 |
| buu | What the heck is netfilter? | 06:05 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Is murmur like mumble? | 06:05 |
| buu | But quieter? | 06:05 |
| Beldar | wilornel, then use the bootrepiar | 06:05 |
| mikeshollen | buy, mumble is the client, murmur is the server | 06:05 |
| buu | oh | 06:05 |
| mikeshollen | buu darn auto correct | 06:05 |
| wilornel | Beldar. Again, it says that I need to set up a new partition if use a GPT disk | 06:05 |
| zzxc | pi_:haha hince the name? | 06:06 |
| buu | mikeshollen: Is this server behind a separate firewall? | 06:06 |
| Beldar | wilornel, Part of the problem here is that not many here are familiar with uefi. | 06:06 |
| Beldar | including myself | 06:06 |
| wilornel | Beldar: I'm not asking you anything about uefi | 06:06 |
| Beldar | wilornel, It is part of the scenario however. | 06:06 |
| wilornel | Beldar: I'm talking about setting a new partition at the start of the disk, and flagging it as bios_grub | 06:06 |
| hurdorbsd | guys if I try Dev 14.04 which uses 3.12 as kernel .. can I still update to final release of it without reinstalling ? | 06:06 |
| wilornel | Beldar: It is indeed. But I don't see how UEFI goes in the way of setting a flag on a new partition? | 06:07 |
| bazhang | !final | hurdorbsd | 06:07 |
| ubottu | hurdorbsd: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Trusty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 14.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 06:07 |
| pi_ | zzxc: lol yepp :) i'm ssh'd into the pi, which has an apache server running, with a cloud storage web app, and it all runs effortlessly on 8GB :) what type of server did you have in mind? | 06:08 |
| mikeshollen | buu, the server is attached to a consumer FIOS router/modem combo from Verizon. They do have a firewall built into the router, but I typically turn on a software firewall in Windows for better security. The Ubuntu Server manual says that NetFilter is a Linux subsystem that manipulates network traffic and is used by most Linux Firewall solutions. | 06:08 |
| hurdorbsd | ok | 06:08 |
| hurdorbsd | well guys where can I read about 14.04 and its kernel and other stuff | 06:08 |
| MrDyne | How do get a program/script/command to run at system boot without having to login each time? I've been Googling and messing with /etc/rc.local all day and I can't get nothing else to work. | 06:09 |
| Beldar | hurdorbsd, If you install 14.04 the #ubuntu+1 channel is where you would get help. | 06:09 |
| pi_ | hurdorbsd: i'd reckon google might be a good choice... xD | 06:09 |
| MrDyne | I made sure to chmod a+x /etc/rc.local like all the online guides said to do. | 06:09 |
| mikeshollen | buu, so does that mean I still need to install a software firewall and it just uses that service? | 06:09 |
| buu | mikeshollen: I'm going to admit this is areas where I'm not an expert, but I've never felt the need to run a firewall on linux. Just make sure you only have services listening to the outside world that you actually trust | 06:09 |
| mikeshollen | ok | 06:10 |
| buu | mikeshollen: use netstat -nlp; and nmap; to see what is actually listening for connections | 06:10 |
| buu | mikeshollen: To me a firewall is for when you can't control what might be listening on your machine, like a windows box that runs a bunch of default services that listen or something. | 06:10 |
| mikeshollen | buu, does this mean by default that I 12.04 LTS server doesn't have a firewall installed that I will need to configure for these services? | 06:11 |
| buu | mikeshollen: I'm fairly certain it does not come with anything like a firewall, yes. | 06:11 |
| mikeshollen | thanks | 06:11 |
| === jack is now known as Guest14013 | ||
| === MartinS is now known as Guest69284 | ||
| buu | mikeshollen: If you run sudo netstat -nlp; all the stuff at the top that has an IP is what is listening and obviously the colon is what port. If it is listening on 0.0.0.0 or the publically accessible IP address, that means its a "public" service, anything else can't be reached from the outside. | 06:12 |

| pi_ | ethang: yeah, i'd run an apt get update and install and if anything pops up asking you to upgrade, don't put it off :) | 06:18 |
| mikeshollen | If I setup a web server, do I also use SSH to transfer over html files built on my laptop to the server? | 06:20 |
| rypervenche | mikeshollen: It would be a good way to do it. You could use scp or sftp which uses the SSH protocol. | 06:20 |
| zzxc | mikeshollen. You would most likely use scp. Its the copy command over shh. | 06:20 |
| ethang | pi_:upgrde says I'm up to date | 06:20 |
| zzxc | rypervenche, is sftp installed by default now? | 06:21 |
| rypervenche | zzxc: It's a part of openssh, so if you have SSH you have it. | 06:21 |
| pi_ | ethang: what was the device again? i can't scroll up :( | 06:21 |

| ethang | sorry | 06:22 |
| pi_ | ethang: oh yeash haha :) | 06:22 |
| rypervenche | zzxc: I don't know if the server is installed by default. You might have to start the server and enable it. How you do that depends on the version of Ubuntu you're using. | 06:22 |
| rypervenche | zzxc: The fine folks here should be able to answer that question for you. I don't use Ubuntu anymore. | 06:23 |

| SchrodingersScat | zzxc: on desktop versions only the ssh client is installed by default. installing is just 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' and then you can log into the machine using your login credentials, etc. | 06:23 |

From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

| saintcajetan1 | it is pretty weird... | 07:35 |
| saintcajetan1 | never had has this happened to me, if I can even just boot I can fix it myself but since I can't I don't even know where to start. | 07:36 |

| Beldar | saintcajetan1, no blinking cursor just a black screen? | 07:43 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| saintcajetan1 | not yet, forgot to do that. I highly doubt it is broken hardware it is pretty brand new. I had shutdown all of a sudden so it is probable that. Let me see what I can be able to do with gparted | 07:44 |
| aeon-ltd | wilornel: desktop environment | 07:44 |
| wilornel | saintcajetan1: It's Ubuntu 12.04LTS | 07:45 |
| saintcajetan1 | just a blinking underscore _ at the top left corner | 07:45 |
| Beldar | saintcajetan1, I would fsck it most likely just for a variable check. | 07:45 |
| Beldar | saintcajetan1, If we were seeing grub I would suggest nomodeset. | 07:45 |
| saintcajetan1 | appreciate it will try that and see what happens | 07:46 |
| saintcajetan1 | kk | 07:46 |
| unicornjedi | hello, how would I view the files in my Ubunter server virtual machine? using nautilus in the host manchine? | 07:46 |
| Beldar | saintcajetan1, You could wait a minute with the blinking underscore and see if you get to a tty as well. | 07:46 |
| saintcajetan1 | tty terminal? | 07:47 |
| Beldar | saintcajetan1, ctrl-alt-f1 | 07:47 |
| saintcajetan1 | kk | 07:47 |
| saintcajetan1 | unicornjedi: try Control+alt+t to get to the terminal | 07:48 |
| wilornel | Hey guys, any idea why would my sound not work after hibernate? | 07:48 |
| saintcajetan1 | unicornjedi: then type nautilus | 07:48 |
| Beldar | saintcajetan1, Just to see if it is actually maybe a graphic thing, although you should still see grub, just sort of picking at possibilities. | 07:48 |
| saintcajetan1 | yeah I had installed the graphics successfully in 13.04 but for some reason when it upgraded to 13.10 recently | 07:48 |
| saintcajetan1 | it is not working properly | 07:49 |
| saintcajetan1 | I can't open steam | 07:49 |
| unicornjedi | saintcajetan1, but ubuntu server doesnot have a gui | 07:49 |
| Beldar | unicornjedi, You ask min #vbox yet, a shared file is how you share with virtualbox in genral or a ssh as another showed you earlier. | 07:49 |
| saintcajetan1 | I was going to fix that but then I messed up lol | 07:49 |
| Beldar | in* | 07:49 |
| Beldar | saintcajetan1, nvidia? | 07:49 |
| unicornjedi | Beldar, yea Im having trouble with that | 07:49 |
| saintcajetan1 | unicornjedi: yeah I know you should still be able to see nautilus if you try the command line no? | 07:50 |
| saintcajetan1 | Beldar: no I have AMD HD Radeon 7970 | 07:50 |
| superfat | hellp | 07:50 |

| davegempton | I have a juju deployment where machine 0 is running and looking good but machines 1 2 &3 are all showing instance-id: pending. I need to move them past pending and get them recognised. | 07:58 |

| deweydb | hello, i have an install of 13.10 ubuntu server and i keep loosing control of the session and cannot execute any commands after a couple minutes from a fresh reboot. I start getting errors like "root@spaceheater:~# sudo .... bash: /usr/bin/sudo: No such file or directory" | 07:59 |
| === killer is now known as phantom | ||
| deweydb | or "root@spaceheater:~# whereis sudo .... whereis: command not found" | 07:59 |
| deweydb | for pretty much every command | 07:59 |
| Beldar | unicornjedi, make a folder and open the preferences on the vbox gui where you start it and link to it, this does not read the vm's anything but wht you put in there from it | 07:59 |
| === phantom is now known as ass | ||

| xmetal | hmm @ how to ignore this guy who is changing nicks every few seconds | 08:00 |

| shady | it's android 4.2 butt always show me a msg | 09:05 |
| shady | that there is an error with the usb port | 09:06 |
| Beldar | shady, you have the usb debugging ticked in developer options? | 09:06 |

| gfetco | Dear Ubuntu users, I am having some issues with my headphones they to get static sound it even if all my levels are set to zero on alsamixer | 09:13 |

| reisio | gfetco: got another pair? | 09:13 |
| shady | ok thank you | 09:14 |

| Beldar | shady, cool, enjoy. ;) | 09:15 |

| gfetco | reisio: seems to be no problem with my other headphones but they are earplug phones, I don't think they have the same sensitivity. The big headphones which I am having trouble with atm works on any other device, such as my Android Phone, tablet, pc,... | 09:16 |
| jeremiah_ | . | 09:17 |
| reisio | gfetco: how many bands on the plug? | 09:17 |
| gfetco | reisio: on the headphones(with issue) it has 2 and the one working has 3. Hmm you're quite good at this! | 09:18 |
| gfetco | thanks | 09:18 |
| ousama | ousama | 09:19 |
| reisio | mmm, would've guessed the other way 'round if anything | 09:19 |
| reisio | probably irrelevant | 09:19 |
| reisio | but it could be that one plug is fitting better than the other | 09:20 |
| reisio | and the variance in bands (contacts) isn't helping | 09:20 |
| reisio | I don't really keep track, but I'd guess most ports are only designed with ordinary stereo (two bands) in mind | 09:20 |
| gfetco | reisio: I tried with another plug with 3 still the same problem :S | 09:21 |

| robin_ | there is no one there cfhowlett | 10:26 |
| ItsMeLenny | Beldar, http://paste.debian.net/67454/ for update, and i dont want to run upgrade | 10:26 |
| Beldar | ItsMeLenny, The upgrade is important to see, it will only show what ca be upgraded and you have a yes or no to run it. | 10:27 |
| ItsMeLenny | ah right, so you can still get the info if i hit no | 10:28 |
| Beldar | ItsMeLenny, yeah | 10:28 |
| ItsMeLenny | ok thats no prob then | 10:28 |
| apm1 | ok so i am thinking of setting up a 32bit environment on my laptop which has a 64bit cpu . i have heard wine is easier to debug on 32bit | 10:28 |
| ItsMeLenny | Beldar, heres the upgrade http://paste.debian.net/67455/ | 10:29 |
| apm1 | the latest app i need to run on this is a game gta4 | 10:29 |
| ItsMeLenny | i found i can upgrade the packages in synaptic tho | 10:29 |
| apm1 | would it run ? | 10:29 |
| Beldar | ItsMeLenny, Have you run any partial upgrades with the update manager? | 10:30 |
| ItsMeLenny | apm1, i have no problem running 32 bit games in wine on 64bit, but yes you can run 32 ubuntu on a 64 processor | 10:30 |
| ItsMeLenny | Beldar, thats whats not updating, the partial upgrade, thats when it kicks up the stink about not having ubuntu-desktop | 10:30 |
| ItsMeLenny | which i do have | 10:30 |
| apm1 | ItsMeLenny, have you tried GTA4 specifically ? | 10:30 |
| Beldar | ItsMeLenny, But have you run any as of yet? | 10:31 |
| ItsMeLenny | apm1, no, GTA SA | 10:31 |
| ItsMeLenny | Beldar, yeah quite a few I think, various random ones that like to screw up the system :P | 10:31 |
| apm1 | ItsMeLenny,and is there a newer version in repos for wine ? | 10:31 |
| apm1 | i see 1.4 still | 10:31 |
| Beldar | ItsMeLenny, Running a partial even one can brick your setup. | 10:32 |

| apm1 | i am not sure why there isn't a newer version | 10:32 |
| apm1 | does it go under a diff name or something ? | 10:32 |
| ItsMeLenny | apm1, i use their ppa | 10:33 |
| apm1 | wineHQ's ? | 10:33 |
| ItsMeLenny | Beldar, yeah, thanks for the help anyway | 10:33 |
| ItsMeLenny | apm1, yes | 10:33 |
| apm1 | ItsMeLenny, and what GPU do you have that runs SA on wine ? | 10:34 |
| apm1 | i have only had luck with nvidia | 10:34 |
| Beldar | ItsMeLenny, I will assume you understand why there are partials and adjust accordingly. ;) | 10:36 |
| ItsMeLenny | apm1, yeah i use nvidia 9800GT | 10:37 |
| ItsMeLenny | Beldar, yeah, i add a lot of ppas which some can be fickle | 10:37 |
| ItsMeLenny | apm1 you can check winehq to see how it fairs | 10:38 |
| apm1 | it fairs alright on wine but the test results are for 64bit systems ItsMeLenny | 10:38 |
| apm1 | i am rather curious for 32bit | 10:38 |
| apm1 | if no one has reported i'd be the first for a 32bit environment | 10:38 |
| ItsMeLenny | apm1, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8757 | 10:38 |
| ItsMeLenny | apm1, it probably wont make a difference at all, because wine only runs 32bit | 10:39 |
| * apm1 lights up :) | 10:39 | |
| apm1 | ItsMeLenny, and what are my chances on a readon | 10:39 |
| ItsMeLenny | wine cant run 64 bit games, theres a 64bit compilation of wine but thats just wine | 10:39 |
| ItsMeLenny | a readon? | 10:40 |
| apm1 | the GPU | 10:40 |
| apm1 | i'll use the catalyst driver | 10:40 |
| ItsMeLenny | thatd depend more on how linux handles a radeon than it would wine | 10:40 |
| ItsMeLenny | i use official nvidia drivers | 10:40 |
| ItsMeLenny | not the open version | 10:40 |
| apm1 | ItsMeLenny, noveau is not up to the level i know that first hand too | 10:41 |
| apm1 | but for amd prop drivers i've heard the reverse | 10:41 |
| apm1 | that catlyst is worse than the xorg drivers | 10:41 |
| ItsMeLenny | whats noveau isnt that a hand cream | 10:41 |
| ItsMeLenny | i dunno, ive always used nvidia, never had AMD, not a fan | 10:42 |
| apm1 | no its the free driver for nvidia cards ItsMeLenny | 10:42 |
| apm1 | ItsMeLenny, and the hand cream is "nevia" | 10:42 |

| molgrum | hi all, i installed cinnamon from the official repos and it works good except when i click the menu everything lags and freezes except the mouse pointer | 10:48 |
| NeoID | damn, I really don't want to move all of the data and format the drive just because of one file screwing around :( | 10:48 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: weird | 10:48 |
| gordonjcp | and you can *write* to that drive | 10:48 |
| gordonjcp | ie. you can create other files and directories? | 10:48 |
| NeoID | sure | 10:48 |
| NeoID | just that particular file is the problem | 10:48 |
| ItsMeLenny | molgrum, have you tried the 2D cinnamon | 10:48 |
| NeoID | how may I remove the t-attribute normally? | 10:49 |
| molgrum | ItsMeLenny: yes, same problem there | 10:50 |
| molgrum | unity and gnome works fine | 10:50 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: chmod, normally | 10:50 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: t is "sticky" | 10:50 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: what does (as root) chmod 755 <file> do? | 10:51 |
| === Ip is now known as Guest81692 | ||
| NeoID | gordonjcp, ok, then there must be somthing else giving me the problem | 10:51 |
| NeoID | operation not permitted | 10:51 |
| ItsMeLenny | molgrum, bizzare, i just updated to the stable, im not sure if it has the problem i havent restarted it yet | 10:51 |
| ItsMeLenny | i will see | 10:51 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: wait wait, is that *actually meant to be a directory*? | 10:51 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: because that looks like a filename | 10:51 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: is it possible that the filesystem is corrupted? | 10:52 |
| ItsMeLenny | molgrum, nope seems fine to me, try the nightlies or the latest stable | 10:52 |
| NeoID | gordonjcp, I start to think that it may be the case | 10:52 |
| NeoID | it's supposed to be a file, but it thinks it a directory | 10:52 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: yeah | 10:52 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: so the filesystem is borked in some way | 10:52 |
| gordonjcp | NeoID: unmount and fsck, I reckon | 10:52 |
| NeoID | what's the proper way of checking the filesystem? I have a mdam raid configuration... | 10:52 |

| cfhowlett | FlurglerHobbit, that's definitely abnormal behavior. Given the failures you describe, if it's NOT hardware, you might have some random bad code. Try this. create a new user and then use terminal. if it still fails, reinstall would be my next strategy. | 11:19 |

| Beldar | sandman13, I like the cairo-dock | 11:22 |
| vr2mx | 11:22 | |
| sandman13 | Beldar installed that previously but it installed its own desktop environment | 11:23 |
| Beldar | sandman13, I don't use it just the dock in the shell. | 11:24 |
| Beldar | there is docky | 11:25 |
| sandman13 | Beldar installed that too | 11:25 |
| Beldar | probably others | 11:25 |
| sandman13 | Beldar i wouldn't have used docks if the right button opened the menu for the launcher | 11:26 |
| Beldar | sandman13, I have used xubuntu in the past and a little of xfce, but not in a long time. | 11:27 |

| aeroraver | can someone help me, I tried to do a dist-upgrade last night from 13.04 to 13.10, i let it run over night to see that the installer crashed, and now when i try to upgrade via apt i get the following errors: http://pastebin.com/6fNTBmCp | 11:32 |
| sandman13 | Beldar can't understand you | 11:32 |
| cfhowlett | aeroraver, dist-upgrade will not move you from 13.04 to 13.10. you need dist-release for that | 11:32 |
| Beldar | sandman13, just saying there a lot of options. | 11:33 |
| sandman13 | Beldar what do you recommend | 11:33 |
| aeroraver | cfhowlett: well I used the gui installer when I got the option, but even then, appearantly apt doesn't respond anymore | 11:33 |
| Beldar | sandman13, nothing really I use the gnome shell, works for me I do not really need to have a lot of customization. | 11:34 |
| sandman13 | Beldar xfce was recommended by someone who was using Arch | 11:35 |
| cfhowlett | aeroraver, 1. boot a live ubuntu USB. Save your data. 2. download 13.10 and make a new USB. 3. Boot 13.10 and clean install. | 11:36 |
| Beldar | sandman13, problem with recommendations is they are subjective it works for them, may not be what another wants in the end, you gotta find what works for you some how though. | 11:36 |

| Layke | hitsujiTMO, I've been searching ubuntuforums for hour+ now, attempting to do anything I can try to fix. | 13:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: its not something i've seen before to be honest. Unless you've gone out of your way to manually remove important files i'd consider checking the drive for errors incase its caused by a failing hdd | 13:25 |
| Layke | Nope. I stay well clear of anything I don't understand. So don't go removing anything | 13:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: how old is the hdd? | 13:27 |
| Layke | 2 years~ | 13:27 |
| Layke | HDD seems unlikely though? | 13:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | yup | 13:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: are you using encryption? | 13:28 |
| dabears | hey all. How do I add a python script I made to the startup applications using terminal? | 13:30 |
| dabears | I set +x to the file, it runs properly when executed directly...but it wont execute on it's own when I add it to the file.desktop | 13:30 |
| trijntje | dabears: you have to specify the full path | 13:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | layke: can you try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall bsdmainutils liba52-0.7.4 libxfont1 | 13:31 |
| Layke | hitsujiTMO, Nope. One thought.. I just rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/<problempacakgename>.list and then attempt to install. | 13:31 |
| dabears | trijnte: you mean from ~ to the destination? | 13:31 |
| dabears | I started with home | 13:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: do not delete that file | 13:32 |
| Layke | And everytime I do that, I get a new error with another file.. files list file for package 'libhttp-negotiate-perl' is missing final newline | 13:32 |
| trijntje | dabears: the full path, starting from /home/ | 13:32 |

| trijntje | dabears: can you paste the path here? | 13:35 |
| dabears | k | 13:35 |
| trijntje | dabears: or put the whole .desktop file on pastebin | 13:35 |
| dabears | trijntje: /home/servu/pymount.py | 13:36 |
| trijntje | dabears: can you run that script by only putting /home/servu/pymount.py in the terminal? | 13:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: can you pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/libhttp-negotiate-perl.list | 13:37 |
| Layke | Sure | 13:37 |
| dabears | trijntje: no, but I designed it with that purpose in mine | 13:37 |

| trijntje | dabears: if you cant run the script with the full path, there is no problem with the .desktop file, but with the command | 13:38 |
| dabears | trijntje: when I run the file it executes everything just fine though. It worked 30 minutes ago but my server crashed and I had to reinstall the entire OS | 13:39 |

| Homely_Girl | I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with Dash, I've created a 2nd user account for my daughter to log in with but don't know how to allow that user to use the Internet connection, can anyone help plse? | 13:41 |
| === jcvassort_away is now known as jcvassort | ||
| trijntje | dabears: I think you have to add '!#/usr/bin/python' to the top of that file, then see if you can run it with ./pymount.py | 13:41 |
| prawnsalad | are there any standard tools to supervise a service? | 13:41 |
| moppy | dabears, does your python script and error out, or is it not being started? | 13:41 |
| trijntje | Homely_Girl: all users should be able to use the internet connection by default | 13:41 |

| Layke | ^^ hitsujiTMO | 13:42 |
| Layke | hitsujiTMO, So that pastie is a hexdump. | 13:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: ok. do you have a live cd/usb around? | 13:43 |
| moppy | that is weird : why would /home/whoever/pymount.py work and "python /home/whoever/pymount.py" not work? | 13:43 |
| Homely_Girl | trintje: When I logged in as her the internet connection went offline! Log back in as me 'n it's online. | 13:43 |
| Layke | No. (No DVD reader either on this machine). :( | 13:43 |
| trijntje | dabears: use /home/servu/pymount.py | 13:43 |
| Layke | Is that what I'd need to do? | 13:43 |
| dabears | trijntje: how is that any different from what I had already? | 13:44 |
| trijntje | Homely_Girl: click on the wireless icon, go to 'edit connection', and make sure 'all users can use this connection is set' | 13:44 |
| === jcvassort_away is now known as jcvassort | ||
| trijntje | dabears: you script is different now since you added the !# line | 13:44 |
| dabears | trijntje: I already had put that there though | 13:45 |
| hipitihop | Homely_Girl, is your machine WiFi | 13:45 |
| moppy | Homely_Girl, in the properties for the internet connection, is a setting you can check to 'allow all users' to use it | 13:45 |
| dabears | moppy: no clue. | 13:45 |
| moppy | Oh sorry, i am stepping on trijntje 's toes here ... I'll be quiet | 13:45 |
| Homely_Girl | trintje: Done thank you will test it 'n come back if necessary. | 13:45 |
| Homely_Girl | moppy: Thank you, I've done that now | 13:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: your filesystem may be corrupt. the .list file is supposed to be a text file with a list of all the files that were installed, but instead its pointing to an sqlite database. I'd not do anything at all on that machine until you run fsck on the partition and check smart errors | 13:46 |
| trijntje | dabears: which version of python are you using? it could be you script wont run in the default version that ubuntu has | 13:46 |
| Layke | hitsujiTMO, Okay thanks. (incidentally.. I just rm -rf that file).. and autoremove just worked... | 13:46 |
| dabears | python 2.7, this script is compatable with python 3 also | 13:46 |
| Layke | I might have resolved it. I agree I neeed to do a disk check.. | 13:46 |
| Layke | If that was suposed to be a text file, it definitely wasn't.. | 13:47 |
| moppy | he has put a python2 shebang in, ubuntu has py2 installed as default | 13:47 |
| naquad | how do i troubleshoot a problem with plugged devices (usb flash drive) not shown in thunar? i've digged down to gvfs, but can't figure out what's wrong here. udisksd is running, gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor is running, but in the end i get "Could not detect the volume corresponding to the device." from thunar. that is GVolumeMonitor doesn't have that device. wtf? | 13:47 |
| Layke | hitsujiTMO, Thanks for all the help. I think removing that .list file resolved this issue. I'm back to my very original unable to install php5-gd now :) | 13:48 |
| Layke | php5-gd : Depends: php5-common (= 5.4.9-4ubuntu2) but 5.4.17~rc1-2~precise+1 is to be installed | 13:48 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest23183 | ||
| Layke | Sounds like my php5-common is old? And I need to remove it? | 13:49 |
| Layke | And then reinstall from new repo? | 13:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | layke: i'd ignore that issue until you get the fsck done. have you ppas instealled? | 13:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | installed* | 13:50 |
| Layke | hitsujiTMO, I did. But I removed everything earlier. | 13:50 |
| hipitihop | While doing a ./configure I get "No pkg-config for libgnutls" despite having libgnutls-dev installed. I'm on 12.04 | 13:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: how exactly did you remove the ppa? | 13:50 |
| === serg_ is now known as jugernaut | ||
| Layke | rm -rf .../sources.list.d/ | 13:50 |
| === jugernaut is now known as jugernaut_31 | ||
| dabears | trijntje: what if pymount.desktop is not executing? | 13:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: thats not how you remove a ppa. | 13:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | !ppa-purge | Layke | 13:51 |
| ubottu | Layke: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 13:51 |
| trijntje | dabears: what do you think a .desktop file is? | 13:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: you'll need to add in that repo again then run ppa-purge | 13:51 |
| Layke | Okay. :) Thanks. | 13:51 |
| Layke | I need to find out what PPA that was though I guess. | 13:52 |
| dabears | trijntje: I know what it is....just saying though...I mean the script executes fine on its own...you agreed with my path directory...I don't see what is different between my old server and this one | 13:52 |
| dabears | It should be executing, no? | 13:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: yup | 13:52 |
| dabears | trijntje: tell me what you think I did wrong and I will go back and look | 13:52 |
| trijntje | dabears: no, .desktop files should not execute. They are basically the icons you see in the Dash | 13:52 |
| dabears | trijntje: ah | 13:53 |
| dabears | trijntje: shouldn't they execute on startup? | 13:53 |
| trijntje | dabears: no | 13:53 |
| dabears | trijntje: that's what I did wrong, I am being a moron. | 13:53 |
| dabears | So, now that we have that established. How do I go about make the script execute on its own at startup? Because I did something very similar to this before to make it work | 13:54 |
| moppy | dabears, silly question is there some reason you cant mount from fstab? | 13:54 |
| moppy | dabears, is this sshfs or something? | 13:55 |
| dabears | moppy: yes, I am still new to computers. I just made a script to solve my problem xD | 13:55 |
| dabears | It works fine | 13:55 |
| moppy | dabears, i think this is an xy problem. there is almost certainly an easier way to do what you are trying to do. what are you trying to do? | 13:55 |
| Layke | hitsujiTMO, WORKING :) Thanks. All done. That was all painful. | 13:56 |
| dabears | moppy: mount my external hd's on startup | 13:56 |
| Layke | hitsujiTMO, Really appreciate. | 13:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Layke: np | 13:56 |
| moppy | dabears, the normal way to do that is by putting entries in /etc/fstab file and letting the OS mount them automatically | 13:56 |
| dabears | moppy: i will look into that immediately, thanks | 13:57 |
| moppy | dabears, doesnt have to be immediate: if what you have works, that's fine | 13:57 |
| tom__ | hello | 13:58 |
| moppy | dabears, so you are using python to issue the system "mount" commands? | 13:58 |
| dabears | moppy: Yes, but I made a huge security risk in my server....I hard coded my root password into the program | 13:58 |
| moppy | dabears, so if you are writing python just to issue the "mount" command, can you not just do that from a bash (shell) script? | 13:59 |
| Katerine | Hola | 14:00 |
| trijntje | dabears: no problem, I could also have spotted that we were talking about different things ;) | 14:00 |
| trijntje | but the correct way to do what you want is to put it in fstab | 14:00 |
| dabears | moppy: it isn't only mounting the hd's. trijntje: thanks for the help though. Learned a thing or two from this process | 14:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | dabears: you could call from somewhere that its going to get called by root, such as in upstart or rc.local | 14:00 |
| naquad | where's complete description of groups for ubuntu (all those disk, cdrom, adm, etc...)? | 14:01 |
| dabears | hitsujiTMO: good idea | 14:01 |

| Katerine | Como Andan? | 14:01 |
| naquad | [Gentoo], *DESCRIPTION* | 14:01 |
| [Gentoo] | alright calm down | 14:01 |
| Foxtrot | lol | 14:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | naquad: i doubt there's a global description. many of the groups are created by individual packages and there would be a lot of legacy groups involved | 14:03 |
| naquad | ok, thanks | 14:03 |
| [Gentoo] | naquad: arch wiki has some | 14:03 |

| naquad | [Gentoo], i know | 14:03 |
| [Gentoo] | well what group do you want to know what it means | 14:03 |
| naquad | just wasn't sure its groups are 100% identical to ubuntus | 14:03 |

| [Gentoo] | ^ problem solved | 14:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | naquad: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/thunar the automounting info here might help | 14:06 |
| [Gentoo] | maybe both paste the output of groups | 14:06 |
| dabears | You guys should have seen me earlier though. For some reason my server kept throwing random characters at me in response to me using sudo...it would hang on reboot "repeatedly outputtin 'y'" it was so bizzare | 14:06 |

| dabears | moppy: good thing I didn't start on this software I got finished making my sequence diagrams for xD | 14:09 |
| dabears | I would have gone hulk on the server | 14:09 |

| dabears | What is going on.. | 14:11 |
| moppy | dabears, sysADMIN is well named. Lots of record keeping :-) Good luck with the rebuild and i hope you get it working (and document it for next time!) | 14:11 |

| geirha | dabears: What did you run with sudo exactly? | 14:13 |
| Pwnguin_ | Hello, I want to uninstall Ubuntu in order to install Lubuntu, but I'm having a little difficulty with that so can somebody help me with it? | 14:14 |
| dabears | moppy: hahaha! that's fantastic. | 14:14 |
| xangua | Pwnguin_: what are you are having dificult with? | 14:14 |
| dabears | geirha: I ran sudo apt-get update/upgrade. Generic stuff | 14:14 |
| dabears | Commands plainly didn't work | 14:14 |
| dabears | It was so weird | 14:14 |
| Pwnguin_ | basically I deleted the partition which I tought was Ubuntu | 14:15 |
| Pwnguin_ | but Ubuntu is still working | 14:15 |
| Pwnguin_ | and Windows 7 too | 14:15 |
| dabears | Pwnguin_: Ubuntu never dies. It only spreads. It has become self aware | 14:15 |
| Pwnguin_ | i tried to download a program called OS-uninstaller too | 14:15 |
| * dabears Terminbuntu | 14:15 | |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: how big was the partition that you deleted? | 14:15 |
| Pwnguin_ | but it only works for live cd or something | 14:15 |
| Pwnguin_ | I can't remember, hitsujiTMO, but smaller than the others | 14:15 |
| Pwnguin_ | it might have been the Lubuntu OS that stopped working before so that i couldnt boot it anymore | 14:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: can you pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 14:16 |
| Pwnguin_ | yes | 14:16 |
| geirha | dabears: Oh, you probably got a package conflict and answered, "yes, uninstall this bunch of important packages so that this new package can be installed" | 14:16 |
| Pwnguin_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6468758/ here it is | 14:17 |
| geirha | dabears: Would most likely be a package from some PPA | 14:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: i think its just you swap space that you deleted | 14:18 |
| Pwnguin_ | uhmmm ok I guess | 14:18 |
| dabears | geirha: Love how that works. Then when I came here and tried to explain it to everyone. Everyone responded, :your key is stuck" Until after the 12th time I explained it in which someone else was like, "yeah your OS is borked. Not a hardware issue" | 14:18 |
| dabears | geirha: makes sense | 14:18 |
| Pwnguin_ | should I reboot into Windows 7 and try to delete the actual partition of Ubuntu? | 14:18 |
| Pwnguin_ | I don't want the files anymore so i dont need to backup btw | 14:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: no, you may not be able to boot windows then since grub is probably what is loading windows | 14:19 |
| Pwnguin_ | yes i read something about that | 14:19 |
| Pwnguin_ | if i delete the partition then i will have to do some restore repair thing with windows | 14:19 |
| dabears | Also another crazy thing that happened...I bought a beagleboard over a year ago, designed this nice program to put on the OS I had for it...bought a bunch of other equipment so I could play with it....never could get this thing to power to the OS....then after 30 emails with liquidware they explain to me that they forgot to send me the headers for some piece on the board | 14:20 |
| dabears | better late than never, I guess | 14:20 |
| Pwnguin_ | ok but it shouldnt be any problem to have 3 OSes on a dualboot right? | 14:20 |
| Pwnguin_ | besides Lubuntu takes little space so it's ok i think | 14:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: you'd need to reinstall the windows bootstrap | 14:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: is this windows xp? | 14:20 |
| Pwnguin_ | no windows 7 | 14:20 |
| Pwnguin_ | but another problem I have is that I have tried to install Lubuntu with an USB but I can't get it to work | 14:21 |
| Le_Bacon | My Xubuntu machine won't connect to wifi. Now I know that it worked before, but it suddenly doesn't. | 14:21 |
| Le_Bacon | My Xubuntu machine won't connect to wifi. Now I know that it worked before, but it suddenly doesn't. | 14:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: from the win7 install disk get to the recover console and reinstall its mbr bootstrap http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/17521-how-fix-mbr-through-command-prompt.html then load the lubuntu live cd. dont go to install, but instead load up gparted and delete the ubuntu partition. then go thru the installation steps for lubuntu and you should be fine | 14:23 |
| Pwnguin_ | Okay, Hitsuji, but I don't have a CD I only have an USB | 14:24 |
| geirha | dabears: I guess I don't have to tell you that next time, hit q instead of y :) | 14:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: yest that will do ofc | 14:24 |

| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: you can skip that step but it puts you in the dange of not having a working OS if the lubuntu install fails ( altho i'm guessing that its failing on the lack of free space) | 14:26 |
| Pwnguin_ | whatever, this laptop is old garbage anyway | 14:26 |
| xangua | Pwnguin_: you could have just installed lubuntu-desktop package from the beggining instead of messing aroung with your partitions | 14:27 |
| Pwnguin_ | so how can I install lubuntu because I've tried but it has not showed up as an option on the dualboot | 14:27 |

| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: it cant find windows because it doesnt see the windows boot strap is my guess. delete the ubuntu partition and the extended partition before running the installer. it will install lubuntu into the free spave then. from there you can run boot repair to add windows to the grub list | 14:29 |
| Pwnguin_ | Sprry Adblocker but thats just my honest feeling | 14:29 |
| xangua | !info lubuntu-desktop | Pwnguin_ | 14:29 |
| ubottu | Pwnguin_: lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.52 (saucy), package size 2 kB, installed size 31 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; powerpc; armhf) | 14:29 |
| Pwnguin_ | No, Hitsuji, on the dualboot I have the options of Ubuntu and Windows 7 + ubuntu with advanced options or something more.. | 14:30 |
| Pwnguin_ | But I can't find Lubuntu | 14:30 |
| Pwnguin_ | that's the problem | 14:30 |
| Adblocker | Pwnguin_: You choose Ubuntu and in grub you should get the Lubuntu option | 14:30 |

| hever | Hello, I switched to lxdm as windowmanager, awesome is in the session list, but if I select it, openbox starts. I'm quite confused. I checked the xsession files but they look ok, any ideas ???? | 14:31 |
| Pwnguin_ | Okay, adblocker, but when I select ubuntu and press enter it just starts up | 14:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: its probably reffering to lubuntu as ubuntu | 14:31 |
| Pwnguin_ | how do i get into "grub" i dont know much about it | 14:31 |
| Pwnguin_ | no really, I'm using Ubuntu now | 14:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Pwnguin_: do you mean its not booting the live usb? | 14:32 |
| Pwnguin_ | yes exactly | 14:32 |
| Pwnguin_ | i have tried to change the boot order but still | 14:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | how did you create the live usb? | 14:32 |
| angela_ | quick question, what privilege does a user need in order to run a service XXX start/stop command? | 14:32 |
| Pwnguin_ | ummm I just downloaded it from the official websites | 14:32 |
| Adblocker | Pwnguin_: ok so when you boot you should be presented with the windows boot manager. You should see Windows and Ubuntu. When you choose ubuntu you will be presented with something similiar to windows boot manager called grub. It will have various boot options. | 14:32 |
| Pwnguin_ | I used UNetbootin | 14:33 |
| Adblocker | If you are just trying to boot from the flash drive you just need to change your bios or choose it directly during your startup | 14:33 |
| Pwnguin_ | when I choose ubuntu, ubuntu starts up, i dont get any boot options other than that | 14:33 |
| mao | unetbootin is not good for all linux disco.. | 14:33 |
| Pwnguin_ | and i have changed the bios boot order | 14:33 |
| Adblocker | Pwnguin_: hold shift when you choose ubuntu | 14:34 |
| Pwnguin_ | ok I will try that then | 14:34 |
| Pwnguin_ | thanks for the help | 14:34 |

| awesomess3 | I think my FlashPlayer_10_2_159_1 on my Ubuntu 10.04 got hacked :'( | 14:51 |
| awesomess3 | on Firefox | 14:51 |
| awesomess3 | I was on YouTube and it errored out in the middle of my video | 14:52 |
| awesomess3 | And then firefox started to get real slow from then on until I `mv ~/.mozilla/plugins/flash* ~/` | 14:52 |
| bekks | awesomess3: "flash got hacked" sounds...unlikely. Most likely, ther was just some error. | 14:52 |
| awesomess3 | I hope so :((( | 14:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | awesomess3: most likely its to do with the fact that your running an outdated version of flash on an outdated system | 14:54 |

| geoffmcc | pimme: It has been a while, but this is the tut i used. This will tell you how to setup bridged VPN. bridged VPN allows the clients to appear as though they are on the same local area network (LAN) as the server system. | 15:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: can you also pastebin: sudo lshw -C network | 15:06 |
| rwc2 | hitsujiTMO, ill have to google what you mean with acpi key | 15:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: normally you have some sort of keyboard shortcut for the wifi: fn+f2 is pretty standard | 15:07 |

| theadmin | adanoob: Tried simply looking in System Settings -> Displays? One of them may be disabled. | 15:24 |
| pimme | exit | 15:25 |
| adanoob | yes, it seems main laptop screen might be disabled, but only under my user, not under guest, but I think Guest doesn't have access to seetings | 15:25 |

| adanoob | is that changeable directly under xorg.config ? | 15:26 |
| Adblocker | I don't want to use apache | 15:26 |
| jinglescafe | I want to disable users / guests from installing software. | 15:26 |
| jinglescafe | how do i do that | 15:26 |

| jinglescafe | it asks for password, its the same password as the user | 15:26 |
| jinglescafe | The IT guy came in and said everything is fine. | 15:27 |

| bekks | jinglescafe: And did you check every single computer? | 15:29 |
| jinglescafe | so how do i stop user from installing software? | 15:29 |
| adanoob | I was just making a case that I did not merit that thing you did | 15:29 |
| jinglescafe | he checked them. | 15:29 |
| bekks | adanoob: You wrote a query to me. Putting your name in front of a line is not querying, it is hilighting. | 15:29 |
| bekks | jinglescafe: Users cant install software. Users dont have an account permitted to sudo. | 15:30 |
| adanoob | bekks: I wrote a query to you ? was not aware of that | 15:30 |

| jinglescafe | ok, the login is jingels1, password is jingles1 , it is the same password to install software | 15:31 |
| bekks | adanoob: Thats why I told you that there is no reason to do so, and that you please keep it in the channel. I didnt even read your query, since it was unwanted. | 15:31 |

| bekks | jinglescafe: You shoudl create a _guest_ account. | 15:31 |

| Togusa | you can replicate the base system on a VM, create a database, then use it on the machines you think are no longer safe (offline, possibly) | 15:35 |
| geoffmcc | jinglescafe: you should never trust any user for any reason really | 15:35 |

| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: you can use the xfce session to resolve the issue with your account. Please learn to read between the lines a little | 16:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: think about it | 16:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: what is the issue | 16:02 |
| sandman13 | why can't i reset unity? | 16:03 |
| bekks | sandman13: "Reset" in what way? | 16:03 |
| lostincake | ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 16:03 |
| MonkeyDust | i guess there's the command 'unity --reset' | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Sandman13: sure you can, its software wiyh stored settings. Why would you not be ablento reset settings in any OS for any application | 16:03 |
| rwc2 | ActionParsnip, i am trying to have rfkill list all say 'hard blocked: yes' for all. here are two pastes separated by '-------------------', one with wifi toggle key off, the second with it on, thanks http://pastebin.com/btebEYcs | 16:04 |
| sandman13 | ActionParsnip it freezes says no core found and something like that | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Lostincake: you can force install the deb and the file crossover will be ignored | 16:04 |
| lostincake | just through dpkg? | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Lostincake: yes | 16:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | sandman13: how are you trying to reset unity? ans what version of ubuntu are you using? | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: why are you using sudo if you are root? | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 16:06 |
| niru | hii | 16:06 |
| rwc2 | ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 16:06 |
| MonkeyDust | rwc2 no need for sudo, if you are root | 16:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: does the system have a switch or shortcut combo to activate/deactivate wifi? | 16:07 |
| rwc2 | MonkeyDust, k | 16:07 |
| niru | hhh | 16:07 |
| sandman13 | hitsujiTMO: Ubuntu 13.10 using command "sudo unity reset" | 16:08 |
| rwc2 | ActionParsnip, only a keyboard toggle, which doesn't make hard blocked: yes. anything i can disable in the bios is diabled also | 16:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | sandman13: that is not the correct way: read http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html | 16:08 |
| rwc2 | disabled* | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: try: sudo rfkill unblock all | 16:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: can you pastebin the output of modinfo ath9k | 16:09 |
| adanoob | boy oh boy.. so I adduser guest2, then attmpt to log in and I get a blank screen for 2 or 3 seconds and then I get back to the login screen... | 16:09 |
| geoffmcc | adanoob: are you using opensource drivers or nvidia binary? | 16:10 |
| sandman13 | hitsujiTMO: but i reset it earlier using that command | 16:10 |
| adanoob | geoffmcc: no, the proprietaryones dont remember if 304 or the 17x something | 16:10 |
| geoffmcc | adanoob: have you tried sudo nvidia-xconfig? | 16:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | sandman13: the command you are thinking of is: unity --reset and that is for pre 13.04. you just reran unity and got lucky | 16:11 |
| adanoob | geoffmcc: yes, it wrote a brand new xorg.conf, tand it seems fine and it still works under guest user, not under my user | 16:11 |
| lostincake | ActionParsnip, http://hastebin.com/raw/sikiyukuqa --- stll the same problem | 16:12 |
| rwc2 | hitsujiTMO, i added it to my first paste at the top http://pastebin.com/LsrqRetJ | 16:12 |
| gartral | adanoob: 13.04 or 13.10? | 16:12 |
| adanoob | gartral: 13.10 | 16:12 |
| awesomess3 | adanoob, maybe try adding groups to your user as guest is associated with? | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Lostincake: add the option: --force-all | 16:12 |
| gartral | adanoob: upgrade or fresh? | 16:12 |
| theadmin | sandman13: To reset Unity on 13.04 and up, do dconf reset -f /org/compiz | 16:12 |
| sandman13 | running that theadmin | 16:13 |
| adanoob | gartral: its a fresh one, but note It has been running fine for some time now, then suddenly... | 16:13 |
| adanoob | gartral: well, fresh one with a /user from a prior version | 16:13 |
| gartral | adanoob: Ah.. and let me guess.. when you log in to your user, the screen blanks for a few seconds and returns you to login promt, yea? | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: if you use xfce it is not compoziting and will be ok. You can then use the session to remove the Compiz or Unitybsettings then log off and log in to the Unity session and uninstall xfce. Makes sense to me | 16:13 |
| adanoob | gartral: yep thats it with the new created user, with my existing user just gets blank and strays there | 16:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: can you try: sudo modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1 | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: have you also ran: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME | 16:14 |
| gartral | adanoob: .Xauthority corruption! | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: make sure you own all your home directory | 16:15 |
| lostincake | ActionParsnip, --force-depends? | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Lostincake: --force-all | 16:15 |
| adanoob | no of course not, its not described in the pages I've seen, but ok, will try that . suppose you mean that for the newly created user right ? | 16:15 |
| gartral | adanoob: before trying ActionParsnip try sudo rm /home/(your bad user)/.Xauthority* | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: do you run commands like 'sudo nautilus' and 'sudo gedit' | 16:16 |
| rwc2 | hitsujiTMO, hard blocked: no still after issuing that command | 16:16 |
| adanoob | huh wait now I'm lost | 16:16 |
| lostincake | ActionParsnip, thanks much | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: reboot to test | 16:16 |
| lostincake | doing sudo apt-get install -f after that seemed to do the trick | 16:16 |
| rwc2 | ActionParsnip, k | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: do you run commands like the ones i gave? | 16:16 |
| rwc2 | hitsujiTMO, what command would i use to reverse that, though? | 16:17 |
| adanoob | gartral: which one of the bad users ? my user with blank or the new guest2 user with blank then login screen ? | 16:17 |
| sandman13 | hitsujiTMO: ran into after completing the steps but it did the work | 16:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | rcw2: that won't persist a reboot | 16:17 |
| gartral | adanoob: do that for both | 16:17 |
| rwc2 | hitsujiTMO, can you elaborate? | 16:17 |
| adanoob | gartral: I've already traied that for my user, did nothing | 16:17 |
| adanoob | tried | 16:17 |
| gartral | adanoob: then try it for your guest that's borked | 16:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: that command is only for that instance. it is cleared when you reboot | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: run the chown command i gave | 16:18 |
| truebattleaxe | is anyone using mir? | 16:18 |
| MonkeyDust | truebattleaxe #ubuntu-mir | 16:18 |
| adanoob | ActionParsnip: you have to describe that in more baby steps please | 16:18 |
| truebattleaxe | thanks monkey :P | 16:18 |
| rwc2 | hitsujiTMO, ActionParsnip is suggesting i reboot, why? | 16:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | !anyone | truebattleaxe | 16:18 |

| adanoob | ActionParsnip: a lot of assumptions in there | 16:19 |

| gartral | last ActionParsnip | 16:19 |
| gartral | oops | 16:19 |
| === Cor is now known as PackardBell | ||
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: its a terminal command so its copying and pasting text. You can do that, right? | 16:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | ActionParsnip: no. that command loads the module with that settings at that moment | 16:19 |
| gartral | have you also ran: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME | 16:19 |
| gartral | adanoob: ^^^ | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitsujitmo: ahh misread, thought you added it to a .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d | 16:20 |
| adanoob | under shich user you want me to run that command ? am I supposed to replace USER with something ? | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: no run it as is | 16:20 |
| adanoob | under which user ? | 16:20 |
| adanoob | my user ? | 16:20 |
| Laban | Does anyone in here know how best to copy loads of files that are hardlinked to eachother over to another machine? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: yes. The user with issues | 16:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: can you tell me why you're trying to get: hard blocked: yes ???? | 16:21 |
| Laban | I'm using rsnapshot for backup and I need to replace the backup server. | 16:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: are you trying to disable the wifi? | 16:21 |
| Laban | So I want to transfer the daily backups and preserve links. | 16:21 |
| rwc2 | hitsujiTMO, yes | 16:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: you can blacklist ath9k and then no driver will load for that wifi adapter. will that do? | 16:22 |
| Adblocker | Hey guys. Does ubuntu no longer support thttpd? | 16:22 |
| theadmin | Laban: rsync has a "-l" option which will copy links as links. | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !info thttpd | 16:23 |
| ubottu | Package thttpd does not exist in saucy | 16:23 |
| adanoob | ok | 16:23 |
| theadmin | Adblocker: What is "thttpd"? | 16:23 |
| adanoob | ran the chown command, then what ? reboot ? | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Adblocker: let me check for changelog | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: yes | 16:23 |
| streulma | hello, what is the best settings for Ubuntu 13.10 on a Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch, 2800px width ? | 16:23 |
| MonkeyDust | http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/ | 16:23 |
| gartral | theadmin: dunno that one, but the sound I made pronouncing it sounded like a bottle of water falling down steps | 16:24 |
| Laban | theadmin: Hm... I will have to look at that. | 16:24 |
| Adblocker | ActionParsnip: Do you have any replacement suggestions? theadmin: It is a simple web server | 16:24 |
| streulma | I like to run Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro | 16:24 |
| awesomess3 | Adblocker, looks like you'll have to install thttpd a different way: https://github.com/skybert/ece-scripts/issues/81 | 16:24 |
| theadmin | Adblocker: lighttpd is very light, too. | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Adblocker: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thttpd/+changelog | 16:25 |
| mguy | How light is say nginx in comparison? | 16:25 |
| A-L-G | I would use xammap for the web server | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Adblocker: apache2 maybe | 16:25 |
| rwc2 | hitsujiTMO, i'd also like to increase security by blocking wifi penetration, i see hard-blocked: no as a security issue, even through soft-blocked: yes. is blacklisting ath9k the best i can do via software? | 16:25 |
| theadmin | A-L-G: XAMPP is not a webserver, it's a LAMP-pack. And it's recommended against using it on Ubuntu. | 16:26 |
| adanoob | ActionParsnip: rebooted, still blank screen (all my files in $HOME were alreasy owned by my user) | 16:26 |
| truebattleaxe | oh ya i did have an issue. when I updated everything on kde somehow i lost the volume control on the top bar. I also am unable to use the volume controls on my keyboard. however it works in gnome | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: do you run GUI commands withbsudo, like nautilus? | 16:26 |
| adanoob | don't think so can try | 16:26 |
| A-L-G | or you can do it mysql php5 and all that but if you not that good at ubuntu i would just do xmmap | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Truebattleaxe: could use alsamixer in terminal | 16:26 |
| adanoob | gsudo nautilus right ? | 16:27 |
| rwc2 | ActionParsnip, once i reboot, do you expect i might not have wifi? if so, can you tell me how i can undo 'modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1' via the terminal | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanoob: no, its a question not an instruction | 16:27 |
| theadmin | adanoob: Do *not* run GUI commands with sudo, it's not recommended. It just might be the cause of your issue. | 16:27 |
| truebattleaxe | thanks actionparsnip i'll try that right now | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: if it was just that then it is not persistant | 16:27 |
| adanoob | ActionParsnip: I was asking because I have to test to reply to you no ? | 16:28 |
| adanoob | ActionParsnip: which command do I run in order to test if I can run GUI programs (under my user I suppose) | 16:29 |
| rwc2 | ActionParsnip, sorry, what is not then persistant | 16:29 |
| gartral | adanoob: try gksudo | 16:29 |
| alexandros_c | I need help cups is not recognizing my user name and password in ubuntu gnome 13.10 can anyone help me? | 16:29 |
| adanoob | cannot open display | 16:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: if the wifi adapter is soft blocked then it is disabled. soft and hard blocks are references to 2 different types of disabling methods for wifi adapters, not 2 different levels of disabling. hard bock refers to a hardware block ( physical switch ) where soft block refers to a soft key disbling ( acpi key / fn + f2) the reason why you can't enable hard block is possibly because there is no hard block interface for that wifi adapter.. | 16:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | .. either way soft black is enough | 16:30 |
| adanoob | Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display | 16:30 |
| gordonjcp | adanoob: what exactly are you trying to do? | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: the command and setting are not stored, there are ways to make it persistant | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Rwc2: but that isnt | 16:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | rwc2: if you want to permanently disable the the hardware then blacklisting the driver is enough. The kernel cannot interface with the divice if it has not driver to allow it to communicate with the device | 16:31 |

| Moeh | ikonia: I did that before already :) | 17:33 |
| basil1x | drchaos__, Is the phone powered on and plugged into the USB? | 17:33 |
| ikonia | Moeh: your logical volume is full - you need to extend the logical volume to use more disk and extend the file system once the volume is extended | 17:33 |

| hitsujiTMO | wilornel: thats suspend to ram | 18:01 |
| wilornel | hitsujiTMO: What would syspend to disk look like? | 18:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: is it transferring small files? | 18:02 |
| wilornel | suspend* | 18:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | wilornel: hibernation | 18:02 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, yeah, I'm transferring a bunch of dev stuff out of an ecryptfs partition | 18:02 |
| laptop | How do i make LXDE the default desktop environment, after installing it? | 18:02 |
| smaudet | so mozilla firefox style source code | 18:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: ahhhh even worse when encryption is involved | 18:02 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, well I'm thinking of removing the ecryptfs entirely | 18:03 |
| smaudet | its been crashing my desktop | 18:03 |
| laptop | How do i make LXDE the default desktop environment, after installing it? | 18:03 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, does LUKS suffer the same slow speeds? | 18:03 |
| smaudet | partition to partition | 18:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: basically , if your writing a small files, it needs to seek to that position on the hdd, this can take anywhere from 1 - 20ms for a seek. then your write the file, but with encryption it has to write a full block, and depending on the block size, that can be quite a bit of extra writing. then it has to seek back to the source, read the next file, then seek back to the write location, etc... | 18:05 |
| laptop | How do i make LXDE the default desktop environment, after installing it? | 18:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: the seek time is the big problem. with small files and hdds, it might be a good idea to to setup a ramdisk (i think tmpfs is a ramdisk) and copy to the ramdisk and then copy form there back to the hdd on the new location | 18:06 |
| ubuntuaddicted | is there a easy seamless way to switch back and forth from the open source radeon and fglrx drivers? | 18:07 |
| === z_ is now known as Guest55912 | ||

| zykotick9 | hitsujiTMO: your ramdisk suggestion seems overly complicated... personally i'd throw rsync at it (and it takes, as long as it takes) ;) | 18:09 |
| laptop | How do i make LXDE the default desktop environment, after installing it? | 18:10 |
| zykotick9 | laptop: probably from your login menu (lightdm) | 18:10 |
| Nono | Hi, how do i install Wikipedia on Ubuntu10.04 ? | 18:10 |
| laptop | zykotick9: Yes, but that will be *session only* thing | 18:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | zykotick9: well, if rsync buffers large groups of small files before writhing then yeah it would work, but otherwise using a tmpfs can server as a decent buffer | 18:11 |
| laptop | I want to make it the default DE | 18:11 |
| zykotick9 | laptop: ? i've never used lightdm (but there must be a way) | 18:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | laptop do you want to set it globally or just for a user? | 18:12 |
| basil1x | If you start LXDE, it will be default until you start another DE. | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9. how do you login ? | 18:13 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: getty ;) | 18:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | laptop if you want to set it globally try: sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s LXDE | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | ahh , zykotick9 , just o be different or is there some advantage ? | 18:14 |
| ubuntuaddicted | there's a lot of open gl libraries to ensure get removed etc etc if you're running a 64bit OS but also run steam since it's 32bit. So removing the fglrx driver can be complex. I wish there was a script I could run that would remove all the fglrx stuff, install and activate the radeon driver (would need to logout and back in) so I can play Painkiller Hell and Damnation and then when im done playing that game, remove the radeon and reins | 18:14 |
| ubuntuaddicted | tal fglrx (logout and back in) | 18:14 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: i don't have a DE either, juse xorg+awesome ;) it's a resource/personal preference situation | 18:15 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, not sure what I want a ramdisk for...unless you mean I should work in RAM? e.g. for small files? | 18:15 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, I might just switch to LUKS with a similar setup to what I have right now, its just this ecryptfs corruption is unacceptable, ubuntu devs haven't fixed it for over a year by the looks of it | 18:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: it can act like a buffy, so you're not constantly seeking( you're wasting about 1 second per 50 files just on seek time alone) | 18:17 |
| smaudet | And I can't find any ecryptfs devs | 18:17 |
| smaudet | or help | 18:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | s/buffy/buffer | 18:17 |
| mapreri | Hi! Does somebody remember what's the name of the package that reveal the change of the terminal resolution the change consequently the number of columns and rows accordingly? | 18:17 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, ok, but is that complicated to setup? And it won't help me with mass file transfer | 18:17 |
| smaudet | I understand the idea of a buffer but if its just another mounted fs I'm not sure how I can take advantage of it... | 18:18 |
| zykotick9 | mapreri: are you using nomodeset currently? nvidia/ati hardware? | 18:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: try what zykotick9 suggested and use rsync. if it buffers then it will help | 18:18 |
| e2xistz | Is Ubuntu doing anything about the suspend dialog window appearing every time after resume? | 18:18 |
| Garmeer | To me, ubuntu is synonymous with unity, I don't understand how other *buntu distros are in any way similiar to the unity version | 18:19 |
| Garmeer | can someone explain this? | 18:19 |
| mapreri | zykotick9: I ssh on a lxc container inside a vps. Anyway my current desktop uses an nvidia card with mir.... | 18:19 |
| zykotick9 | smaudet: with rsync, it can even resume copying of what you've copied so far :) | 18:19 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, zykotick9 ok I'll look into it, but A) I'm dealing with the ecryptfs issue first, I'll fix rsync/ramdisks later | 18:20 |
| zykotick9 | mapreri: none ;) | 18:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: you're probably already using a tmpfs. /run is typically mounted as tmpfs. some setups have /tmp mounted as tmpfs. | 18:20 |
| xangua | Garmeer: to me ubuntu is synonymus of use any desktop you want | 18:20 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, right, I think I am, but most files don't write to /run | 18:20 |
| Garmeer | xangua: but how are kubuntu and ubuntu similiar? | 18:20 |
| mapreri | zykotick9: ?? | 18:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: lol true, i'm just saying as an example | 18:21 |
| xangua | Garmeer: that they are ubuntu, do you have an ubuntu support question¿ | 18:21 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, zykotick9 will either of you be in tomorrow? I'll probably setup the new encryption/tmp directories tomorrow. | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | Garmeer. they use the same ubuntu "core " | 18:21 |
| zykotick9 | mapreri: if you're connecting via-ssh though, i don't think setting your console resolution will help either. I have no idea what to suggest for that, sorry. best of luck. | 18:21 |
| smaudet | s/in/in here/ | 18:21 |
| Garmeer | BluesKaj: what do you mean by "core"? | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | Garmeer. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core | 18:22 |
| smaudet | This move operation I'm not going to stop, which will take ~ 2-3 hours I suspect, and then I have to run my find operation on my encrypted directory X_X | 18:22 |
| smaudet | Unless you think I could just decrypt my home directory without worrying about corruption? | 18:23 |
| mapreri | zykotick9: AFAIK, it a problem of the remote system, that don't tell to the shell the change of resolution to let the shell change the columns and rows available.... But I don't remember what I have to install :| Thanks anyway :) | 18:23 |
| zzxc | How bad of an idea is it to have a install with out swap partition? | 18:23 |
| zzxc | For a server* | 18:23 |
| smaudet | zzxc, not a bad one? I would think you need more (real) memory in a server | 18:24 |
| === Emminent_Domain is now known as EmminentDomain | ||
| smaudet | zzxc, unless you're not doing very much on your server, I don't think you generally want to be swapping all the time | 18:25 |
| === EmminentDomain is now known as EminentDomain | ||
| smaudet | zzxc, swap is just a cache | 18:25 |
| smaudet | zzxc, the less caching you need to do, the better :) | 18:26 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Yeah I know. Well the server will probably be pretty inactive. So for power consuption it may be better to have a swap parition. | 18:26 |
| smaudet | zzxc, unused memory still uses power | 18:26 |
| zzxc | smaudet: True. | 18:27 |
| smaudet | zzxc, but on the other hand if you aren't doing much on your server if you have lots of swap then you can get away with having less physical memory | 18:27 |
| smaudet | Which will save power | 18:27 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Yeah thats my thought | 18:28 |
| smaudet | just don't do something silly like have 16 GB of memory and a 32 GB swap | 18:28 |
| === yc| is now known as yc|BAL | ||
| smaudet | More like 2-4 GB memory and 8 GB of swap | 18:28 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Yeah I think this machine only has 4gb of ram. Its an old atom mini-itx board/ | 18:28 |
| smaudet | 8 GB should be adequate | 18:29 |
| smaudet | I'd take out 2 GB if you want to save some power | 18:29 |
| smaudet | just run everything headless | 18:29 |
| smaudet | zzxc, just make sure your network systems can handle/redirect your load | 18:30 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Yeah. Well I have a few tb drives in there with some extra space on this I can alway just do a swapon command to make matters a little easier | 18:30 |
| smaudet | zzxc, otherwise your server will easily go down | 18:30 |
| cullen92 | hi | 18:30 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Its a home server for my use only. I was going to run a airplay server client, rtorrent, sftp and a personal github server on it. So its not like it's really going to be taxed. | 18:31 |
| zzxc | It crashed a while back when doing a 10.04 -> 12.04 upgrade. I've been meaning to put an ssd in it so I'm installing server on a usb drive so as a temp thing. | 18:34 |
| smaudet | zzxc, they have github servers? | 18:38 |
| smaudet | zzxc, or did you just mean a git server? | 18:38 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Yeah thats what I meant | 18:38 |
| zzxc | Sorry | 18:38 |

| JOptionPane | actionparsnip: how can he use lxde and unity?sorry im kinda noob | 19:38 |
| stenosis | hey there, i've got a simple question about the kernel policy for 14.04lts..just to get sure that i'm getting this right. As mentioned on the wiki, the next lts version will get some sort of "rolling kernel upgrades for hardware enablement kernels". Does this mean we'll be able to update to the latest kernel on a plain and simple way? | 19:40 |
| xangua | !14.04 | stenosis | 19:40 |
| ubottu | stenosis: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 | 19:40 |
| xangua | stenosis: 12.04 already does what you mention | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Joptionpane: lxde is a desktop, unity is a shell. You can run unity in lxde if you wish | 19:41 |
| stenosis | xangua: i can only see 3.5.x and the 3.8.x kernel in the repro.. and nothing newer | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Joptionpane: install lxde, log off switch sesion to lxde and log in | 19:41 |
| JOptionPane | gotcha | 19:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | stenosis: the .4 point release hasn't been released yet, once its released then 3.11 will be available. | 19:42 |
| xangua | stenosis: well 12.04 came at first with kernel 3.2 | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Syrious: try: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /run/user/1000/pulse | 19:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | stenosis: you can always install the mainline | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Joptionpane: Unity is nothing more than a plugin for Compiz. You can replace Openbox (default window manager in LXDE) for Compiz and get Unity in LXDE | 19:44 |
| syrious | actionparsnip: returns= chown: missing operand after ‘syrious:syrious/run/user/1000/pulse’ | 19:44 |
| syrious | Try 'chown --help' for more information. | 19:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | syrious: you forgot a space | 19:45 |
| Moeh | Can someone tell me how to fix: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Syrious: move the -R to after the $USER:$USER bit | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Syrious: or a missed space | 19:45 |
| bekks | !details | Moeh | 19:46 |
| ubottu | Moeh: 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 ..." | 19:46 |
| syrious | actionparsnip: space between $user and /run? | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Syrious: yes | 19:46 |
| syrious | actionparsnip: ok, I tried that but it didn't return anything. just brought me right back to the main command line | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Syrious: that means it worked. In Linux, no news is good news | 19:47 |
| Xethron | syrious: and when you checked the file was the owner changed? | 19:47 |
| Moeh | ubottu: Sure. So I am running ubuntu 13.10 32bit in a VM. I want to use it as nodejs server. I installed nodejs and mongodb and when I want to do "node app.js" I get the error mentioned above plus "Error: Cannot find module 'bson'" | 19:47 |
| ubottu | Moeh: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:47 |
| Xethron | ActionParsnip: lol | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Syrious: try gnome-mplayer again | 19:47 |
| Moeh | bekks: Sure. So I am running ubuntu 13.10 32bit in a VM. I want to use it as nodejs server. I installed nodejs and mongodb and when I want to do "node app.js" I get the error mentioned above plus "Error: Cannot find module 'bson'" | 19:48 |
| bugtraq | hola | 19:48 |
| syrious | actionparsnip: and now it launches!! yay! now to see if the file will play | 19:48 |
| stenosis | hitsujiTMO: sure but the mineline will often break drivers, especially Nvidia and stuff.. so i was just wondering about the rolling kernel upgrade policy that is mentioned on the wiki for 14.04lts and what it will bring. | 19:48 |
| jhutchins | Moeh: So it shouldn't be a problem if it ends up in pure JS mode, that should be a desired outcome. | 19:48 |
| syrious | Actionparsnip: and the file plays!!!! thank you ever so much!!! | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Syrious: all i did was websearch the error, found the fix..... | 19:49 |
| Moeh | jhutchins: Yes, but then it breaks with Error: Cannot find module 'bson' | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Syrios: mplayer was doing what vlc was doing way way before | 19:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Mr-digital: check master and other volume levels. Players also have volume sliders | 19:56 |
| mr-digital | i am using spotify and some songs a just fucking LOW as hell | 19:57 |
| mr-digital | i have all the levels turned up | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Mr-digital: pushing sound that high causes distortion. Better to crank speakers | 19:57 |
| mr-digital | usiing headphones | 19:57 |
| mr-digital | is there an EQ? | 19:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | stenosis: as far as i can tell, if you switch from linux-image to linux-hwe-image then you can receive kernel upgrades rather than just security updates + fixes. but that's not finalised yet. would be best to ask about it in #ubuntu+1 | 19:57 |
| aprilwine | Pici: will 1>&2 will also do the same job ? | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Mr-digital: use the speaker icon on the top panel | 19:58 |

| smaudet | ActionParsnip, you're fairly good, could you tell me if its safe to decrypt an ecryptfs partition if there are bad (internal) inodes? I already ran an fsck, smartctl comes up clean (only two prefail categories and not important ones AFAIK). I mean decrypt so remove the encryptfs and have a plaintext home directory. | 20:04 |
| Pici | !quietirc| mochajs | 20:04 |
| ubottu | mochajs: To ignore joins/parts/quits in your favorite IRC client, see http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Hide_join_part_messages | 20:04 |
| smaudet | I cannot run fsck on ecryptfs afaik | 20:04 |
| mochajs | I'm working on that for irssi. | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Smaudet: no idea man, not something I use. | 20:05 |
| smaudet | ActionParsnip, thanks | 20:05 |
| mochajs | How do you guys go about monitoring your IRC chats? | 20:06 |
| smaudet | mochajs, I don't | 20:06 |
| smaudet | I just ask a question and then if someone names me it shows up in e.g. blue | 20:07 |

| smaudet | ActionParsnip, I think mochajs meant event based monitoring | 20:08 |
| smaudet | Not just logging | 20:08 |
| folivora | ActionParsnip: that linlap, in 12.04 where I should put that smconfig file ? :) | 20:08 |
| smaudet | so not post-mortem | 20:08 |

| ubottu | logang|off, please see my private message | 20:10 |
| smaudet | mochajs, the best way is to just write a bot, and then create your own events in whatever language you're writing in | 20:10 |
| smaudet | But you have to check the irc rules | 20:10 |
| bekks | smaudet: Thats pretty much undeed. | 20:10 |
| smaudet | some channels don't allow/like bots | 20:10 |
| bekks | unneeded. | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Smaudet: why not make the client. Why do you need a bot | 20:10 |
| mochajs | The channels I visit do not allow bots. | 20:10 |
| smaudet | ActionParsnip, well if the client has an api, sure | 20:11 |
| skeuomorf | guys, I am trying to use Activity Journal but apparently it's not logging any activity, I am on Ubuntu 13.04, anybody has any clues? | 20:11 |
| bekks | The default config of irssi works perfect for hilights. | 20:11 |
| smaudet | But if you are just trying to monitor you may not want to pull up the ui | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Smaudet: irssi and pidgin can log irc chats, cant see why others can't | 20:11 |
| bekks | smaudet: The client doesnt need an API, since almost every client is capable of logging. | 20:11 |
| smaudet | ActionParsnip, Well, I'm talking about something like channel.addEventListener('flood',doSomething); | 20:12 |
| shhhh | come join #Kanaan for a little test | 20:12 |
| EminentDomain | bleh... gotta go get laundry done | 20:12 |
| EminentDomain | blimey | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Smaudet: the channel already has 3 floodbots.... | 20:12 |
| smaudet | *facepalm* | 20:12 |
| smaudet | that was just an example | 20:12 |
| smaudet | channel.addEventListener('mycustomevent',doSomething); | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Smaudet: irssi can do that sort of thing for you. | 20:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: the correct command is /facepalm | 20:13 |
| bekks | smaudet: Every sane client is configurable and provides tons of plugins for almost everything. No need to reinvent the wheel. | 20:13 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, doesn't work :( | 20:13 |
| * smaudet facepalm | 20:13 | |
| hitsujiTMO | /facepalm | 20:13 |

| bekks | smaudet: Sure. | 20:14 |
| smaudet | neat | 20:14 |
| bekks | smaudet: That how I run irssi for 15 years now. | 20:14 |
| * smaudet :) | 20:14 | |
| smaudet | bekks, I mean as a service in the background | 20:14 |
| smaudet | I mean I guess there's no reason you can't | 20:14 |
| smaudet | make irssi-service | 20:14 |
| bekks | smaudet: why? | 20:15 |
| smaudet | service irssi-service start | 20:15 |
| bekks | smaudet: use scree/tmux, and run irssi. Done. | 20:15 |
| smaudet | I don't know. | 20:15 |
| Foxhoundz | how do I add execute permission to a group for a folder | 20:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: well thay effectively is a bot. if there's no user interaction | 20:15 |
| smaudet | I don't have a use for any of this myself | 20:15 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, not if you intend to take control | 20:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: then run it in a screen session | 20:15 |
| smaudet | I mean you're just a bot with a keyboard | 20:15 |

| hitsujiTMO | mochajs: you prob can. you can certainly theme transmission daemon | 20:24 |

| Ben64 | Mister2: doesn't make it on topic here still | 20:28 |
| Mister2 | obviously, i just thought i'd mention it in case someone here was also on windows | 20:29 |
| mochajs | ActionParsnip: Anything can run under BSD. But it's a pain to run. | Smaudet: At one period of time #! was based off Ubuntu. But oh well. Just asking for simple basic assistance to see why my Transmission wasn't following my theme/or if themable via a config. (Which Ubuntu should still have, so I see no point directing me to #Crunchbang or #Debian) | 20:29 |
| Ben64 | mochajs: because this is an ubuntu dedicated support channel. you are not on ubuntu, therefore it is not on topic | 20:30 |
| smaudet | mochajs, I don't know, you could go look at their (Transmission's) website? | 20:30 |
| DEA7TH | hi all! I'm getting a new PC next week and so I'll install my first Linux. I was wondering which one to choose.

| Togusa | i am not | 20:31 |
| Togusa | i can post a screenshot if you want | 20:31 |
| Togusa | it's just a vm so i don't care if it has themes or not | 20:32 |
| DEA7TH | ActionParsnip: would it be easy to use at first? also, would it be still good once I'm experienced? I've heard ArchLinux is very customizable | 20:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | DEA7TH: asking such a question might be better in ##linux | 20:32 |
| Togusa | still, if you know how to fix it, a simple suggestion is not so hard to give | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Dea7th: its not for new ubuntj users really. Ubuntu does a lot of hand holding | 20:32 |
| Togusa | can't believe how you attack people for such a small thing | 20:32 |
| ElFizbanio | I haven't updated for 4 months, should I update? | 20:32 |
| mochajs | Alright. So let me rephrase this, is there a config file on Ubuntu for Transmission? From what I am aware of, if you set it in your settings Ubuntu to follow applications in dark, it make transmission dark. | 20:32 |
| DEA7TH | hitsujiTMO: thank you, I didn't know ##linux existed, it's not listed in the Channels List :c | 20:33 |
| Ben64 | mochajs: just go to crunchbang support | 20:33 |
| gregor3005 | hi, what are the important parts when i try to mount from an encrypted root partition? i encrypted the partition moved the system to the partition. update the informations in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab. updated the kernel image and the grub bootloader. installed grub to the new harddisk which is encrypted. now i have the problem the grub asked for the password but doesn't find the root="...." device which is the same uuid of | 20:36 |
| ElFizbanio | does anyone know how you can run byond 500 on WINE? | 20:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | ElFizbanio: have you looked in the wine db to see if its possible to get it running? | 20:37 |
| ubuntuaddicted | would it be possible to make a script that would remove the fglrx drivers and then install the radeon driver. theoretically i would just have to logout and back in and it should then be using the open source driver right? | 20:37 |
| Ben64 | !appdb | ElFizbanio | 20:37 |
| ubottu | ElFizbanio: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 20:37 |
| gregor3005 | i added also "GRUB_CRYPTODISK_ENABLE=y" to /etc/default/grub | 20:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | ubuntuaddicted: why exactly do you want to switch between the 2 drivers? | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Mochajs: you OS is nothing to do with Ubuntu | 20:38 |
| ubuntuaddicted | hitsujiTMO, because a $20 i bought is recommending the open source driver over fglrx. | 20:39 |

| ubuntuaddicted | hitsujiTMO, Painkiller Hell & Damnation is currently in BETA and should've known better but I bought it and I use the fglrx drivers currently | 20:39 |
| ubuntuaddicted | hitsujiTMO, oh sorry, lol a game | 20:39 |

| D4CH_RPi | wow, using gnome fallback no effects really sped up my netbook | 20:41 |
| MonkeyDust | knoxy that's a raid message... running 12.04 server? | 20:41 |
| Magellanicus | hi i need help | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | D4ch_rpi: yes. You arent using Compiz. | 20:41 |
| mochajs | ActionParsinp: I rephrased my question. I asked if there was a Transmission config file on Ubuntu. That is Ubuntu related. Regardless of what OS I am using, it is still a Ubuntu question. That is what you got onto me for. | 20:41 |
| Magellanicus | i would like do deactivate | 20:42 |
| knoxy | MonkeyDust: yes... Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS | 20:42 |
| Magellanicus | the touchpad | 20:42 |
| Magellanicus | when i have connected | 20:42 |
| Magellanicus | a mouse | 20:42 |

| Ben64 | mochajs: sorry, thats not how this channel works. take it to #crunchbang | 20:42 |
| unicornjedi | hello. I am running ubuntu saucy server as a virtual machine. How do I properly share the filesystem with my host OS (ubuntu desktop saucy)? | 20:42 |
| MonkeyDust | knoxy server or desktop? there's also #ubuntu-server | 20:42 |
| ubuntuaddicted | hitsujiTMO, it doesn't even start up. well it does but a black screen appears and actually freezes the computer. well, actually i can hear sound BUT i can't even go to tty1 or do anything. have to hardboot the computer | 20:42 |
| knoxy | MonkeyDust: this server have a hardware raid. | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Magellanicus: please press ENTER less. Its harder to follow and doesnt scroll the channel. See how this line is very long. Why are you hiting ENTER after every second word? | 20:43 |
| unicornjedi | I am using samba to share files between the virtual machine and the host... but I want my host to have permissions to edit any of the files in the virtual machine | 20:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | ubuntuaddicted: there are huge improvements to radeondriver with kernel 3.12 and the latest drivers. if you're moving to radeon i would suggest the kernel update and possibly xorg:edgers ppa | 20:43 |
| Magellanicus | i would like do deactivate the touchpad when i have connected a mouse in ubuntu 13.04 | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Magellanicus: why did you hit ENTER after every other word earlier? | 20:44 |
| mochajs | Ben64: Then how does this channel "work"? I rephrased my question. As I stated in my last message, it's an Ubuntu related question. Is that difficult to answer a yes or no question? If it doesn't have a config file, I'll drop the discussion. If it does then let me know. | 20:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | ubuntuaddicted: i would not suggest switching between drivers as that can lead to issues | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Magellanicus: genuine question. | 20:44 |
| knoxy | MonkeyDust: #ubuntu is more active... | 20:45 |
| Ben64 | mochajs: you're running crunchbang, so its not on topic. just stop already and go to the proper support channel | 20:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | ubuntuaddicted: altho. someone has mentioned that it may be possible to setup a grub entry to allow such a thing with outh having to uninstall/reinstall fglrx | 20:45 |
| mochajs | Ben64: >I actually have 10.10 running on my T60 Thinkpad. | 20:45 |
| Ben64 | 10.10 is no longer supported. nice try though | 20:45 |
| xangua | Magellanicus: you can easily use your function key to disable it, can't you¿ | 20:45 |
| bekks | mochajs: You have Crunchbang, not Ubuntu. It isnt supported in here. | 20:46 |
| Vinm | Hello from france ! | 20:46 |

| zzxc | Vinm: Hello | 20:46 |
| ubuntuaddicted | hitsujiTMO, i found that post who was talking about creating a grub entry that would boot into linux using a certain driver. maybe i'll look in that again. | 20:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | mochajs: for us to give you advice about a different OS is dangerous. if you want support goto #crunchbang or else use a distro that actually provides support | 20:46 |

| ubuntuaddicted | hitsujiTMO, i did read that about the radeon driver on phoronix website about the improvements to both open source drivers with kernel 3.12. is it that easy for me to simply install kernel 3.12 into Xubuntu 12.04.3? I am currently running 3.7 | 20:47 |

| Vinm | is anyone here have already made a mesh network with babel ? | 20:49 |
| ubuntuaddicted | hitsujiTMO, and what is that going to do? install the latest linux kernel? | 20:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | ubuntuaddicted: you can install what ever mainline kernel you want from there. that alone should bring some improvements. after that theres the option of using the xorg edgers ppa, wich brings updated radeon driver for xorg and updated xorg | 20:52 |
| gregor3005 | hurray i solved it | 20:52 |
| zzxc | Hey Does anyone know how to set nomodest on a server install? | 20:53 |

| Beldar | zzxc, Ah osx, no windows or linux computers around? | 21:03 |
| zzxc | Beldar: Remeber reading that there was some issue with installing from osx, brought over my Linux machine. then used ubootin tool. | 21:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | zzxc: md5sum the iso and try a different usb | 21:04 |
| Beldar | zzxc, In linux I use the multisystem loader some dd. | 21:04 |
| zzxc | hitsujiTMO: md5 checks out on the machine. I'll see what other usb I have around. | 21:05 |
| zzxc | Beldar: I though the multisystem loader was windows only. | 21:05 |
| Beldar | zzxc, its linux only | 21:05 |
| zzxc | Beldar: Hm I think I'm thinking of a different tool. | 21:06 |
| MonkeyDust | zzxc windows has yummi or yumma or so | 21:06 |
| smaudet | yummi? | 21:06 |
| smaudet | wut? | 21:06 |
| zzxc | MonkeyDust: Yeah thats what I was thinking. Thanks. | 21:06 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Its a tool to set up multiple live iso's on a usb. | 21:07 |
| smaudet | Ah | 21:07 |
| Beldar | zzxc, I like it as a multiloader loads vista through W8.1 if needed and just about any linux iso. | 21:07 |
| smaudet | thanks | 21:07 |
| smaudet | zzxc: hey do you know if it does efi boot? | 21:07 |
| smaudet | zzxc I already have something that works pretty well (not yummi) for making those isos | 21:07 |
| smaudet | but it only does grub/bios boot | 21:08 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Do you mean work with a OSX machine EFI? | 21:08 |
| smaudet | no | 21:08 |
| smaudet | UEFI | 21:08 |
| smaudet | I say EFI because its the same principle, different implementation | 21:08 |
| zzxc | Beldar: Wait what? Loads vista though w8.1? | 21:09 |
| zzxc | smaudet: Donno I've never actually used it. I haven't used a windows machine for about 4 years now. | 21:09 |
| Beldar | zzxc, Yeah it is a iso loader to usb's pretty versatile. | 21:09 |
| Beldar | and as many as you can fit on a usb | 21:10 |
| zzxc | smaudet: The EFI on Macs only will hang for 30 seconds while it tries to find a HFS(+) parition and won't recongize ext4 formats. | 21:11 |

| Beldar | pleanbean, well sdb is a gpt that is. | 21:19 |
| deariestubuntu | not sure what you meant by that | 21:19 |
| pleanbean | Any fixes, guys? | 21:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | pleanbean: you need to either reinstall windows as uefi or ubuntu as mbr | 21:20 |
| pleanbean | ok I'll try reinstalling windows as UEFI and report | 21:20 |
| Beldar | pleanbean, sda is a msdos HD sdb is a gpt, so ubuntu installed efi on sdb, not sure of a fix exactly, I would have just put ubuntu on the sda. | 21:20 |

| Sh1G3rU | mike7508, what message exactly? | 21:24 |
| pleanbean | I know, I seem to have gotten myself into this predicament just by trying stuff. | 21:24 |
| pleanbean | Beldar, I'm not sure what I should do honestly. | 21:25 |
| mike7508 | when doing the reboot process... it says attempting to kill remaining processes.... then way off on the right it would usually say [ok]... but here it says [fail]... then goes into single user mode | 21:25 |

| pleanbean | Beldar, what are the advantages of msdos HD over EFI? | 21:25 |
| Beldar | msdos* | 21:25 |
| Sh1G3rU | mike7508, try "sudo shutdown -r now" | 21:25 |
| Beldar | pleanbean, msdos here would be an advantage as it seems you don't have a uefi computer, the gpt is in the way of just an easy install. | 21:26 |
| deariestubuntu1 | Would not being able to login via terminal on a blank screen be something to do with having your home folder encrypted? | 21:26 |
| pleanbean | No, my BIOS is UEFI | 21:26 |
| mike7508 | sh1g3ru, that worked, but why wouldn't reboot now work? | 21:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | pleanbean: gpt + efi has a crazy number of advantages over mbr + bios, hence why it exists | 21:27 |
| Sh1G3rU | mike7508, are you usein "sudo reboot" or "sudo reboot now"?? | 21:27 |
| pleanbean | Right, and I'm trying to use it over mbr+bios | 21:28 |
| Beldar | pleanbean, Ah iteresting as the sda is msdos and so is sdc, heh kinda of a interesting mixture. | 21:28 |
| mike7508 | shig3ru "sudo reboot now" | 21:28 |

| Sh1G3rU | mike7508, because having rutorrent , rtorrent implicates to have LAMP installed and configured | 21:33 |

| Tefron | its just spyware company | 21:39 |
| pleanbean | Well I just want the cleanest and most straight forward procedure. What do you recommend? | 21:40 |
| bekks | Tefron: Please clarify your issue? Do you want to register a new email account at google/yahoo/etc. or do you want to run your own mailserver for your own domain? | 21:40 |
| Antisober552 | so is there a fix for workspace and the hiding launcher | 21:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | beldar, pleanbean easybcd does not work with configging linux when using uefi | 21:40 |
| Tefron | no i want just email accaunt in ubuntu mail service | 21:41 |
| Tefron | like in ubuntu one | 21:41 |
| Beldar | pleanbean, I don't personally see the advantages of gpt, a extended in linux allows an unlimited amount of logical partitions. | 21:41 |
| bekks | Tefron: then yoiu have to become a member of Ubuntu. | 21:41 |

| Beldar | hitsujiTMO, If you like I will wait for you to make any mistake and jump on you to. ;) | 21:42 |
| wafflejockTablet | Ubuntu is an os not an email provider | 21:42 |

| Antisober552 | so is there a fix for workspace and the hiding launcher | 21:49 |
| Guest64272 | I think it stems from the actual permissions on the site-packages dir, as the owner/grp = root/staff | 21:49 |
| Guest64272 | I can run them in root | 21:49 |

| jrib | CyclicFlux: what is the "staff" group? Why do you have it? | 21:53 |
| CyclicFlux | jrib, I think it could be from this particular bug, since I use pip to install. | 21:53 |
| scott__ | Hi. I just installed Lubuntu 10.04 on an old Toshiba Satellite. For some reason, that was the only Linux media that the computer would recognize. How can I properly upgrade to 12.04? I don't want to mess up the install | 21:53 |

| Qrchack | uhm it's installing those packages right now | 22:14 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, the bot gives the pschycocats website with desktop lists, or save the list when install from the cli. | 22:14 |

| Beldar | tgm4883, Heh, that is your opinion, and not sure it's a rational way of looking at it to be honest. Why would a full desktops packages list be a bad way? | 22:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Antisober552: no, i know of an issue that affects virtualbox guests. this is a new one. i'd recommend reporting as a bug on launchpad | 22:18 |
| wulpen | hi there | 22:18 |
| wulpen | ipsec to 0 | 22:19 |
| Antisober552 | okai its really bugging me | 22:19 |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, Going back to a pure Ubuntu desktop != Removing Kubuntu | 22:19 |
| Antisober552 | and was hoping you guys might of know about a fix | 22:19 |
| Antisober552 | okai well thx guys | 22:19 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, Did you look at the multiple desktops they have and started with ubuntu studio? | 22:19 |
| Antisober552 | where the launchpad | 22:19 |
| Antisober552 | do u have a link for it | 22:20 |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, lets say I installed Kubuntu-desktop, then some other app that had dependencies on some KDE libraries. If I then remove Kubuntu via all those packages, then it will also remove the application I installed that depends on some of those libraries | 22:20 |
| wafflejockTablet | Launchpad.net | 22:20 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, YOUr not looking at the full list, at the end is a ubuntu-desktop install to make sure all is there. | 22:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | launchpad.net you could try installing unity-tweak-tool and see if you can change the settings there too | 22:21 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, sorry the keys stick no intention of caps. | 22:21 |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, That is sidestepping the question. Doing the ubuntu-desktop install afterwards wouldn't catch a KDE library would it? | 22:22 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, If you had ubuntu and wanted those apps you would need them anyway, but I get your point. | 22:22 |
| === shaun_ is now known as wafflejock | ||
| tgm4883 | Beldar, so I install kubuntu-desktop, then install k3copy, then remove all of kubuntu using those instructions. k3copy is also removed | 22:23 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, The fact here we are in lala land compared to what the actual user problem is. | 22:23 |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, my understanding is the user wanted to remove kubuntu desktop right? | 22:23 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, Argue with someone else this is offtopic. | 22:23 |
| bekks | tgm4883: Why dont you just install k3copy instead of kubuntu-desktop? | 22:24 |
| * tgm4883 sighs | 22:25 | |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, I'm not arguing, but whatever | 22:25 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, Did you see this, "<designbybeck> I installed Ubuntu Studio, then Kubuntu-desktop, then Ubuntu..... I want to roll back to Ubuntu Unity theme, But my GTK+??? Theme/settings.... How do I just go back to Ubuntu Stock?" | 22:25 |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, no, I didn't see that | 22:25 |
| Beldar | ;) | 22:25 |
| tgm4883 | bekks, I don't want to do either. This was an academic discussion | 22:25 |
| designbybeck | Beldar, I agree a clean install would be the best way to go, It will just have to wait until the next weekend! ;) | 22:26 |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, and TBH, I'm still not sure why that page is the "superior" way to returning to "stock" | 22:26 |
| Koodoo | how is xubuntu | 22:27 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, Your argument is valid yes, however when one installs whole desktops and want specific apps from them there are perils to some extent that a experienced user can take care of. | 22:27 |
| xangua | Koodoo: xubuntu.net you can see yourself | 22:27 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, I did not say superior that is you word. | 22:27 |
| Beldar | your* | 22:27 |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, semantics | 22:28 |
| Beldar | tgm4883, And honestly inspite of your high level of experience and knowledge I usually have you in-ignore per you penchant to argue | 22:29 |
| Beldar | back you go hehe | 22:29 |
| tgm4883 | Beldar, yea, I usually stay out of this channel | 22:29 |
| [LMZ] | Has anyone have issues with install Ubuntu and getting a blank screen after selecting "install" on Satellite S75? It has the Intel HD video drivers | 22:33 |
| hseg | How do I find the upstream sources for packages? | 22:33 |
| daftykins | [LMZ]: is that true of selecting 'try' as well? | 22:33 |
| hseg | Specifically, I need to find the upstream source of http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/php5-curl | 22:33 |
| Beldar | [LMZ], Try getting to the desktop to install. There is a nomodeset option from that first gui. | 22:33 |
| [LMZ] | Beldar: Does the samething in Live Mode when you select it. | 22:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | hseg: apt-cache show <packagename> usually lists the upstream homepage | 22:34 |
| Beldar | [LMZ], I don't understand that. | 22:34 |
| Beldar | [LMZ],Black screen when you hit try? | 22:35 |
| Jordan_U | hseg: Are you looking for the upstream source code, or the upstream project? | 22:35 |
| [LMZ] | Beldar: Black screen when I select to install ubuntu from grub | 22:35 |
| hseg | Upstream source code preferably, project if necessary | 22:36 |
| [LMZ] | Beldar: Even with versions of 12 and 13... | 22:36 |
| Jordan_U | hseg: The source package contains the unmodified source, plus patches on top of that separately. | 22:36 |
| Beldar | [LMZ], Grub is on a install, hit f6 at that screen and choose nomodeset then try. | 22:36 |
| [LMZ] | Beldar: Ok let me try that real quick | 22:37 |
| ubuntuaddicted | so it's ok to install a mainline kernel that's named v3.12-saucy within Xubuntu 12.04.3 correct? | 22:37 |
| Beldar | gthe live id syslinux I believe to boot the install | 22:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | hseg: considering that its a php module the webpage for it is php.net | 22:37 |
| hseg | OK, but that doesn't help me much. I cannot infer from the sources how I'm supposed to build it. | 22:37 |
| Beldar | s/the/is | 22:37 |
| Antisober552 | so i decided that a restart might fix this bug and it had | 22:37 |
| wmp | list | 22:37 |
| Antisober552 | thx for your help guys | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | hseg: apt-get source php5-curl | 22:38 |
| hseg | Also, judging by the sources, the source given is for the entirety of php. | 22:38 |
| hseg | Jordan_U: Not on an ubuntu system, trying to repackage that package for arch linux | 22:38 |
| Antisober552 | and hope everyone has a great day , night ,evening or afternoon | 22:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | hseg: try the main site for info http://us3.php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | hseg: Yes, it's normal for one source package to create multiple binary packages. | 22:39 |
| kevin | hey guys. for some reason, every now and then my xorg goes up to 100% cpu. thoughts? | 22:40 |
| tata | my ubuntu partition left only 600Mb free spece. Is it problem for normal operating? | 22:40 |
| kevin | and it doesnt go away, i just have to restart x. this has started happening after i upgraded from precise to saucy | 22:40 |
| [LMZ] | Beldar: You said to hit F6 at the GRUB Menu? | 22:40 |
| Beldar | [LMZ], THis a install or a booted live? | 22:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | tata: yes you can quickly run out og spave after updates. can you pastebin the output of: df -h | 22:41 |
| hseg | Yes, however I was expecting there to be some kind of a build script that I could view, that dpkg would run in order to construct the binary package from the source package. | 22:42 |
| [LMZ] | Beldar: Both, if I select "try" or "install" I get a black screen after selecting it. | 22:42 |
| Beldar | [LMZ], this shows all the options. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 22:42 |
| tata | paste here? | 22:42 |

| kevin | gonna restart | 22:43 |
| tata | ok | 22:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | hseg: from the documentation you actually need to compile php with curl specific flags. hence why its all one source package | 22:43 |
| [LMZ] | Beldar: Ok I will read that over... then get back to you with a AWESOME or Fail. :) | 22:43 |
| [LMZ] | an* | 22:43 |
| Beldar | [LMZ], Cool, there is also a mini net install that is a text install if needed. | 22:44 |

| Ferix | Hello everyone and a question, is there an Ubuntu version that is "clean", I mean without all the preinstalled stuff like office, video player and such? | 22:45 |
| hseg | OK. Again, this still is much too vague for me. Is there some way I can get my hands on whatever configuration was used to convert the source package into a binary package? | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | !minimal | Ferix | 22:45 |
| ubottu | Ferix: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:45 |
| bekks | Ferix: Install using the minimal iso then. | 22:45 |
| Ferix | Ah, great, time to try that out then, thanks :) | 22:46 |

| santhust | Hi. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and experiencing stability issues: start-up hangs and while usage hangs (4 GB RAM, intel core 2 duo 2.4 GHz). I have heard that Linux Mint is more stable than Ubuntu. Should I switch to Linux Mint for stability? I have been using Ubuntu for long: 5 years. | 22:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | tata: i'd recommend trying to up the size of sda5 to at least 6gb | 22:50 |
| bekks | santhust: Linux Mint isnt supported in here, and afaik they do not have LTS versions at all. | 22:50 |
| daftykins | santhust: i would suspect you'd be better off running memtest on your system from the LiveCD/USB you installed from before swapping OS | 22:50 |

| [LMZ] | Beldar: k | 22:56 |
| everydaylinuxuse | pantheon is quite nice evilbug or my personal favourite XFCE | 22:56 |
| santhust | Becks: yes, I guess. | 22:57 |
| Beldar | everydaylinuxuse, Do you have an actual issue? | 22:57 |
| evilbug | everydaylinuxuse: not familir with pantheon, will check it out. and i'd like something lighter than xfce as well. | 22:58 |
| everydaylinuxuse | no beldar. | 22:58 |
| everydaylinuxuse | lighter than xfce would be LXDE | 22:59 |
| Beldar | ah I missed that evilbug was an actual nick being in the middle of a sentence | 22:59 |
| gdos | how can i configure leafnode for a local network (or ssh tunnels)? i do not want to subscribe to the 'BIG 8' news groups...just create my own. | 23:00 |
| evilbug | everydaylinuxuse: i'm looking at pantheon now and it's looking pretty sweet, very mac-like. | 23:01 |
| everydaylinuxuse | it isn't lighter than XFCE though. It is very clean looking though. You could also consider MATE as well | 23:02 |
| reisio | pantheon is GNOME 3 | 23:02 |
| daftykins | tata: ah you only have one kernel, ok you might want to use a larger hard disk indeed - depends what you're doing with that system | 23:02 |
| fahadash | When I click Log-off->Shutdown on my XFCE session and leave the "Save sessions for future use" checked. It just ignores my instruction. But when I hit shutdown option again, I get error message | 23:03 |
| evilbug | everydaylinuxuse: i just read an article saying that pantheon is very buggy on ubuntu :( | 23:03 |
| CountryfiedLinux | How do I find out what xserver version I currently have? | 23:03 |
| fahadash | CountryfiedLinux, Sometimes you can find clues inside /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:05 |
| everydaylinuxuse | yes I used it with Elementary which is based on Ubuntu but they have got it working quite well | 23:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | CountryfiedLinux: apt-cache show xserver-xorg | 23:06 |
| jhutchins | CountryfiedLinux: dpkg -l xorg | 23:06 |
| Beldar | evilbug, mate is not in the ubuntu repos so not supported, in case you consider it. | 23:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | evilbug: what version of ubuntu? | 23:07 |
| CountryfiedLinux | neither of those worked hitsujiTMO and jhutchins :( | 23:08 |
| evilbug | hitsujiTMO: 12.04 | 23:08 |
| tata | daftykins: is it possible to use sda2, like shrink and make new space for ubuntu? | 23:08 |
| CountryfiedLinux | oh sorry yes it did hitsujiTMO | 23:08 |
| CountryfiedLinux | thanks | 23:08 |
| evilbug | Beldar: thanks for the heads up. i might just stick with xfce. | 23:08 |
| daftykins | tata: it looked like a USB external drive - would that be right? | 23:09 |
| tata | no usb this is old HD | 23:09 |
| evilbug | Beldar: looking to get os x type functionality though gui-wise. | 23:09 |
| Beldar | evilbug, sure, just be aware of what is supported if that is needed. | 23:10 |
| jhutchins | Beldar: perhaps dpkg -l "xorg*", but you might be on the newer one that doesn't use xorg. | 23:11 |
| jhutchins | Dangit, sorry Beldar | 23:11 |
| jhutchins | CountryfiedLinux: ^ | 23:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | evilbug: theres a osx skin for lxde + cairo | 23:12 |

| ubottu | hisham: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (now end of life - see kali-linux) | 23:28 |
| zzxc | Do the bang commands pull from the wiki? | 23:29 |

| daftykins | that's a sign of how bad an idea it is :( | 23:34 |

| luke_ | i have ran through the setup and the ip is set to loopback, this is the only machine i am setting up | 23:52 |
| luke_ | anyone? i donbt really know how this irc thing works just wating for a reply;P | 23:53 |
| ggherdov | Hello. I am testing some configuration on a server I own, and before asking my ISP to modify its DNS records, I'd like to verify things are fine connecting to my shiny new subdomain with my laptop, without passing thru a DNS server. | 23:53 |
| ggherdov | Which is to say: I need to add an entry "foo.bar.com 42.42.42.42" to my /etc/resolv.conf | 23:53 |
| ggherdov | How is that done? There is a big sticky banner in the file that say "do not touch this, it's auto-generated" | 23:53 |
| elchinchilla | sa | 23:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | luke_: have patience. for some issues it can take a bit longer to getbhelp | 23:54 |
| luke_ | i just dont know how this thing works... i just wait? | 23:55 |
| _KaszpiR_ | hm | 23:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | ggherdov: its to /etc/hosts and its 42.42.42.42 foo.bar.com | 23:55 |
| ggherdov | hitsujiTMO: right, not resolv.conf. thanks. | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | luke_: you may need to repeat the question every 15 - 30 mins | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | luke_: there's also #ubuntu-mythtv | 23:57 |
| evilbug | how many of you actually keep to unity? | 23:57 |
| luke_ | hitsujiTMO: am i on the plain ubuntu one? i though i was on mythtv haha shoulda looked my bad. thanks for pointing that out | 23:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | luke_: you can ask the question in both channels | 23:58 |
