=== CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:03] hi. i want to install 32-bit SDLnet library on my 64-bit ubuntu install. [00:04] what is the package name? [00:04] !multiarch | fobelx [00:04] fobelx: use multiarch (i.e. just append :i386 to the package) [00:05] fobelx: libsdl-net1.2:i386 appears to be the right one [00:06] fobelx: why do you want this package by the way? [00:06] fobelx: sorry: there are some later versions. what version are you looking for? === miguel_ is now known as Guest66109 [00:07] fobelx: there's also libsdl2-net-2.0-0:i386 [00:08] And it works [00:08] Aint exactly pretty but it does work. [00:17] hi, one question, why is the net-tools package that outdated? there is "net-tools 2.10" but ubuntu ships with "net-tools 1.60" [00:17] daftykins: Hey, its up and running. [00:17] any specific reason, or is it because people should use iproute2? [00:17] daftykins: Ain't exactly pretty but its running for the first time in a while. [00:18] weissbier, You would have to ask the ubuntu developers, in gneral the release your running can be a factor. [00:18] i'm using ubuntu 13.10 [00:18] weissbier: according to the upstream source 1.6 is the latest [00:19] weissbier, Is there an actual attached to this other than "the latest"? [00:19] issue* [00:19] nah, just the output of the newer versions is more verbose [00:19] thats an opinion [00:20] i was compiling http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-tools/ [00:20] huh [00:21] thats not a bug for me, i just was curious [00:21] weissbier: http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-tools/files/?source=navbar is current stable. you're probably compiling the dev build [00:22] yeah, i was cloning the git [00:22] how can I check why a package has been held back by apt-get? [00:22] any ppa with the git-build anywhere? [00:22] weissbier: If you look at git HEAD of a project you're almost never going to be looking at a stable release. [00:23] interesting that fedora uses some newer release of it [00:24] litropy: does "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" offer to install them? regular "upgrade" can't install new packages, or removing blocking packages. [00:24] I'm on ubuntu 12.04, How can I install a package that is on latest ubuntu versions without conflicting with other packages? [00:25] clynamen: you can't really. check for a PPA for the software you're interested in updating. good luck, going down this road - you might need it ;) [00:25] !ppa | clynamen if your not familiar [00:25] clynamen if your not familiar: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [00:25] clynamen: you can, but could be tricky [00:26] clynamen: like download the .deb of the ppa of a different ubuntu version and then install them [00:26] clynamen: or just find a PPA.... [00:26] zykotick9, I imagine it does. But that doesn't tell me why [00:27] litropy: don't know what to tell you... there should be some aptitude advanced search for what you want though... i certainly don't know it ;) good luck. [00:27] !dist-upgrade | litropy because there are depenency changes [00:27] litropy because there are depenency changes: 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. [00:29] Thanks, all [00:29] I see, thanks, let's try ...

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:30] Quest: didn't make it to ##hardware? [00:48] anyone here good with steam on ubuntu [00:48] They arent answering on the other channe [00:49] ask away describing what you're doing and what's going wrong [00:49] koodoo: actually you were answered several times in the other channel [00:49] Which one is that hitsuji? [00:49] Ubuntu-steam? [00:50] No one is answering there. [00:50] And now it is a different question... [00:50] do you want to stop spamming and ask then? [00:50] Ok my problem: I open steam and play Gmod and it just closes with no error. I tried running with terminal(nothing there) . [00:50] It "crashes" [00:51] and it does not show anything big in terminal. [00:51] force re-check the cache? [00:51] daftykins: What does that mean? [00:51] the game cache. [00:51] anyone using nfs for windows 8, can recommend a client to connect nfs on ubuntu [00:52] daftykins: Will it delete anything if not, how do I do it? [00:52] aaas: install the Services for Unix-based in windows [00:53] koodoo: right click properties on the game in the game list, then local data tab or something like that, 'verify integrity of game cache' [00:53] hitsujiTMO it's no longer in win 8 for the version i have [00:54] aaas: ahh sorry . win 8 enterprise only :( try https://code.google.com/p/nekodrive/ [00:55] Hi people, having a sudden error via GRUB2 here. FYI: laptop with 1TB HDD and triple boot: WinXP / Ubuntu 12.04 / OpenELEC Gotham. Things worked fine for a couple of weeks, now I get a "invalid magic number" when selecting OpenELEC, and it won't boot. Ubuntu still boots (as you can see). This is the partition list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6471527/ . [00:56] Klojum, Have you run sudo update-grub [00:56] yep... one and only thing I did sofar, but to no avail. [00:57] aaas: you might also want to ask in ##windows that channel is more appropriate for that question [00:57] Klojum, That has to be a gpt setup with that many partitions [00:57] hitsujiTMO yeah i tried...no luck yet [00:58] I see no extended [00:59] Klojum: can you pastebin the output of: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda [01:00] Sorry, my bad. It's only a 750GB (it's late here already ;-) ) [01:00] Coming up.. [01:00] I would guess sda4 is the extended not posted [01:00] hmm... no gdisk installed [01:01] Klojum: sudo fdisk -l [01:01] Okay, here's a noob question: how come it has worked for almost a month now? === lex is now known as Guest79146 [01:02] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6471580/ [01:03] Klojum, Your problem is on a OS not really supported here try #grub maybe or their support maybe [01:03] <[LMZ]> Beldar: Well I got video to work, but I feel there is a few other issues; SSD. Going to replace that tomorrow and see, if not going to use the normal 1TB 5400RPM drive that came with it. [01:04] Already tried in #grub, but no response so far. [01:04] [LMZ], Go full ssd if you can. [01:04] Thanks anyway :) [01:04] <[LMZ]> Beldar: Yeah, this laptop I am on has 200GB SSD. It's very nice! [01:04] Klojum: where exactly do you get the "invalid magic number" error? [01:05] [LMZ], I have a 246 gigger, very nice. [01:05] 256* [01:06] Can anybody help me to get the bluetooth working on my hp pavilion 15 please? [01:06] can anyone help me figure out getting utorrent installed in ubuntu [01:06] When selecting the bottom item of GRUB's menu items, being OpenELEC. This item has been added via /etc/grub.d/40_custom. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6471601/ [01:06] i'm having issues getting the latest version of glibc [01:06] <[LMZ]> Beldar: Nice nice, anyways I am heading out. Thanks for your help! If I get it working with the new SSD, I will let you know. [01:07] i need to have 2.16 but i'm stuck at 2.13 and i cant figure out how to upgrade it [01:07] Can anybody help me to get the bluetooth working on my hp pavilion 15 please? [01:07] eminentdomain, 3rd party not really supported there are hand fulls in the ubuntu repo that are. [01:08] eminentdomain: why not use transmission? :p [01:08] gTupac i'm afraid of resetting all my rss feeds [01:08] i have quite alot of them being exported from another utorrent install [01:09] Hello, I was wondering if I could pick the rooms brain about an issue I'm having with Ubuntu. I will go into detail here and try to be a thorough as possible. [01:09] My friends computer stopped working and asked if i knew of a way to get a couple files off the hard drive to fix it. I did a bit of "Googling" and came across an Ubuntu Community posting regarding Data Recovery (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery) from what I could tell, is that it's rather involved and I'm still a novice user. [01:09] Something else I noticed, When i first plugged the hard drive into my computer and was running windows 8, It showed up saying it was (not that it was needing formatting but the word escapes me). So I went and installed Ubuntu on my computer and Ubuntu doesnt actually recognize the hard drive, It notices every other Hard Drive i plug into it but this one. [01:09] Eighga: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:09] 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. === tan_ is now known as Guest32526 [01:09] nick 华仔 [01:09] Did anybody else pledge for the Linux Voice magazine? :) http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/linux-voice [01:09] sorry, just learnt about flood [01:09] eminentdomain, oh then, im sorry, as I'm not using utorr for ubuntu, not sure if can help you out on this one :/ [01:09] pledge... [01:10] also utorrent lets me control it from my phone [01:10] can transmission do that? [01:10] Eighga, W8 is uefi and gpt partitioning, go to ##windows and ask about recovery. [01:10] spydon: why not ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:10] eminentdomain: if the hard drive failed, just use backups [01:10] hey, anybody could help me get my bluetooth on? please? [01:10] Eighga: if the hard drive failed, just use backups [01:11] Klojum: run fsck on the partition [01:11] hitsujiTMO: okay... brb [01:11] there are no back ups of the hard drive [01:12] also it originally had a windows 7 installation on it [01:12] Eighga: do you get output to dmesg when you plug it in? [01:12] Eighga: also, tell your friend, if there are no backups, then there is no important data === Guest32526 is now known as goahead [01:13] output to dmesg, I dont quite follow. [01:13] hitsujiTMO: FYI, gdisk information.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6471621/ [01:13] Well, my friend would do backups but you know how that goes, hasnt been done for a while, etc etc. [01:13] How can I force apt-get to install without worring about dependencies? [01:14] Eighga, W8 is a ##windows issue this is not ubuntu recovery on windows support. [01:14] Eighga: plug in drive, type "dmesg" see output. [01:14] clynamen, bad idea. [01:14] Beldar: I don't care, just tell me please [01:14] I do [01:15] clynamen: can you pastebin the exact errors [01:15] clynamen: apt-get install -nodeps (or something close...I am not on linux right now) [01:15] Beldar: I don't want to criticize or rant, but man apt-get is so broken [01:15] jrib: what in the list of output am i looking for? [01:16] hitsujiTMO: I'm trying to install boost libs from a PPA [01:16] and some dependecies are not satisfied since I'm replacing old boost packages [01:16] clynamen: sounds like a broken ppa then [01:17] hitsujiTMO: fsck on sda6: OE_SYS: clean, 20/131072 files, 51251/524288 blocks [01:17] btw, I know the risks, what is the command to ignore dependecies? === Angel is now known as Guest86609 === Guest86609 is now known as Angel2099 [01:18] clynamen, Just the fact you don't care is a huge red flag of you being back asking for more non-supported help, ppa's are not supported here. [01:18] Myrtti: good idea :) [01:18] Anyone know why mini-dinstall is creating "Packages" with filename that contain subdirs like "raring/mypackage"??? [01:18] Ok, I will shot myself in the foot, then I will not ask help anymore ;) [01:19] yeah right, and I have bridge for sale, you interested? [01:19] Beldar: network bridge? [01:19] * Beldar sees way to much help that is not supported here [01:19] clynamen: if your getting such an error from a ppa then there's a problem with the ppa itself. it has nothing to do with the fact that you already have a version of libboost installed already. infact any lib boost can be installed alongside another without any issue [01:19] SchrodingersScat, London [01:20] jrib: I got a message that says nss-myhostname [01:20] got that a couple times [01:20] clynamen: purge that ppa and find a non broken one [01:21] no ppa... I will install directly from the source [01:22] or, at least, there is no way to install a package from a newer version? [01:24] Hey i'm just getting ready to point my domain name at my internet's static ip address using A record. My domain provider is mydomain. I was wonder, there this huge list of mail, mx, www, email etc that can all be A recorded to a diffrent IP... can I just delete them all and leave the * wild card cuz it's all going to the same ip? [01:25] not totaly a linux question but the ip address goes to my linux server. === jesse is now known as Guest5641 [01:26] MrDyne: you will need an A entry for domain.xxx and you can use a CNAME for * to domain.xxx [01:27] MrDyne: just remember that * will have to be after all other records [01:32] part [01:33] [01:34] Hey is there something simalar to genfstab from arch in ubuntu? [01:35] zzxc: is nano/vim not good enough? [01:36] jrib: so I went through the dmesg and it doesnt mention this hard drive ever being pluged into it, I looked for the serial number, and any other number off the actual hard drive. Nothing at all came up in the dmesg report [01:36] zzxc: if it works on arch it probably works on ubuntu [01:36] hitsujiTMO: With how many times I've been unable to access a machine after doing that I try to avoid it alot. [01:36] reisio: Currently no package let me see if exist in apt [01:37] reisio: Yeah it doesn't exist. [01:37] zzxc: it's unlikely something named 'genstab' is more than a very small script or the like [01:38] 'genfstab'* [01:38] https://github.com/falconindy/arch-install-scripts/blob/master/genfstab.in [01:39] how do I find the control panel [01:39] tool: Flavor of ubuntu are you on [01:39] ubuntu 7 [01:39] reisio: Cool thanks.

[02:01] Beldar: Since when? [02:01] Beldar: It used to be on a super old version. [02:01] Beldar: ok 1st off: if you didn't see i have issues and 2nd off i didn't find any skype version in the ubuntu repos. [02:02] !skype [02:02] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [02:02] !Ekiga | zzxc [02:02] zzxc, please see my private message [02:03] Huh. Interesting I didn't know about that. [02:03] veryhappy: Out of curoisty what version and flavor are you using? [02:04] veryhappy, This from the skype site this repo? [02:04] veryhappy: Additionally you could try apt-get install xemacs21-mule xemacs21-nomule: xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn [02:05] anyone dealt with an "Input Signal Out of Range" issue in X? [02:05] GRUB is set fine, it's only after X loads [02:05] no video signal is displayed and the monitor shows "Out of Range" [02:05] veryhappy, really, what release you running, skype is in the releases not eol, and 3rd I saw your errors 4th did you read the bots info? [02:06] GrendelT: you need to lower the resolution to something your display can handle [02:06] it's at 1024x768 [02:06] that works on a different monitor [02:06] when i hook up this other monitor (a HannsG) it won't show [02:07] is there a safe way to install nvidia drivers? [02:07] sorry guys, got many conversations running on here [02:07] every attempt ive tried generally ends in a black screen after login [02:08] b0x: are you talking about downloading the driver from nvidia.com, OR using the Ubuntu install method? [02:08] but my system seems to be running very hot when on ubuntu, suggesting its running flat out the whole time (even though ive got onboard intel gfx also) [02:08] 12.04.3 LTS amd64 [02:08] any method [02:08] ive tried before from the software center [02:08] b0x: DON'T download the driver from nvidia.com! that is all ;) [02:08] why not? [02:10] veryhappy: Is it from the deb from the skype webpage. [02:10] the monitor is an HW191D ... says it supports 1440x900 @ 70Hz... I'm just trying to get it do to 1024x768 as a starting point [02:11] utusan: i posted "why nvidia installer sucks", a debian dkpg factoid to http://paste.ubuntu.com/6471795/ (no line wrap, sorry) [02:12] well, when i add the repository i get the error i've already shown and when i try to use the .deb file it said something is missing... [02:14] veryhappy, where did you get this repository? [02:15] hi all, i have pentium B960 processor and it is 64 bit capable, i have 2 gb ram, is it beneficial to use 64 bit ubuntu, instead of 32 bit, what performance gain i will get, if i switch from 32 bit to 64 bit [02:16] right now , i am using ubuntu 32 bit, 12.04 LTS [02:16] http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-skype-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ - but that was the 2nd page i tried out [02:16] it actually tells you the same the first page did [02:16] 64 bit is for more then 4g of ram [02:17] a_l_g: nothing more advantage for laptop users [02:17] a_l_g: instead of RAM [02:17] lol low end loptops [02:18] i read somewhere that 32 bit can also address 64 GB of RAM , with the help of PAE [02:18] veryhappy, Can you just run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and pastebin all of it, always pastebin commands. [02:19] kkkkkkk: tbo, i consider 2gb kinda a small amount of RAM, to begin with. SO, if you go 64bit, due to the overhead - you'll have even LESS, then if you stick to 32bit. there are a couple of cases where you'd want 64bit, but mainly media-encoding and number crunching (if you're doing either of those, primarily, then go 64 else stick to 32 (unless you upgrade your ram) [02:19] pae kernels allow more ram in 32 bit [02:19] what do you mean "always pastebin commands"? [02:19] include the commands as well? [02:19] i just know how to make pastebinit write everything online [02:19] veryhappy, Your first pastebin of errors shows no command leading to them. [02:20] sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback and kill the 3d look of ubuntu [02:20] i am asking about advantages of 64 bit processor and hardware, i don't need more RAM i am happy with 2 GB, as by default i use only 500 Mb of it, after opening firefox, chrome, etc, if i need to do some other work, i close one and work on another [02:20] ah gotcha [02:20] :D [02:20] ;) [02:20] but how? [02:20] 1&>2? [02:20] kkkkkkk: media encoding & math/number crunching - those are the main two benefits (besides supporting more ram) [02:21] veryhappy, run that command as a copy and paste to a terminal and copy and paste all of the text to a pastebin. [02:21] zykotick9: i do none of them :) [02:21] zykotick9: no simulations [02:21] well you want me to copy everything manually right_ [02:21] ? [02:22] veryhappy, What ever works for you. [02:22] ok [02:22] kkkk yes it will work but if your doing server to may need to use 32 bit [02:22] so, it is a safe idea to use 32 bit , for most of normal users [02:22] veryhappy, You can copy and paste all of the terminal info in one full sweep. [02:22] kkkkkkk: there is that 2035 (or whatever) year issue... if your in high finance or something ;) [02:23] 64 bit will work but it a little more work as a new user i would use 32 bit and call it a day [02:23] !tab | a_l_g [02:23] a_l_g: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:24] no shit [02:24] !language | a_l_g [02:24] a_l_g: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:24] geez [02:24] Every time I add a new item in alacart (the menu editor for the "applications" menu in gnome classic), it puts it under the Other group. How do I edit groups like Internet and Sound and Video? [02:25] a_l_g: i am a normal user with no specific task, watching some movies, surfing internet for my work, sometimes on facebook, that's it [02:25] thanks all [02:25] yw [02:26] Hey how do I install an audio compoent to a ubuntu server install? [02:28] is there a way to copy terminal text with > 2>&1? [02:28] What do you mean >2>&1? [02:29] veryhappy, click where the command starts and move the cusor to the bottom of the terminal or double click the terminal.

[02:31] you get ignored [02:31] Beldar: i'm also not quite a noob anymore but the hint you gave me was more than superfluous [02:32] Anyone know how to edit groups in the applications menu other than the "Other" group using a GUI? It seems like the default menu editor always puts them in Other, and the old "type" dropdown no longer exists. [02:32] * Beldar wonders when they put open source in kindergartens [02:32] how do you share a printer [02:33] Oh sweet.. I just found the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1244087 [02:33] Ubuntu bug 1244087 in Ubuntu "Ubuntu 13.10 Main Menu editor Problem" [Undecided,Confirmed] [02:33] Beldar veryhappy: Hey seriously guys, Enough the the snide comments. [02:33] Beldar: i'm quite often helping people in here and i'm sometimes even doing it for hours without my problems getting solved, then i might have the possibility to complain at least once! [02:35] veryhappy: You have the right to complain all you want--however, the only significant result of that complaint would be that you'll get ignored and not get the help you seek. [02:36] complaints > /dev/null [02:36] seriously guys, i'm sorry, but sometimes i can't hold it anymore. [02:36] save me [02:36] GrendeIT: In most cases, yes. People in here aren't a paid company to whom they need to actually please others. [02:36] veryhappy: Now, what did you mean by "copy terminal text"? Did you mean redirect to a file AND also see it? [02:36] you mean, nobody here is paid to listen to it :) [02:36] veryhappy: if that's what you were referring to, the utility you're interested in is called "tee" [02:37] or even care [02:37] veryhappy: If not, please rephrase your question. :) [02:37] pls save me [02:37] Hi! [02:37] :) [02:37] Lothsahn: i just wanted to have everything i typed and saw on the terminal in a file or concatenate it straight to pastebinit [02:37] !details | toobluesc [02:37] toobluesc: Please give us full details.

[02:37] help [02:37] if anyone has experience with monitor resolution being out of range, hit me up [02:37] veryhappy: I'm not sure about pastebinit, but if you want to redirect to console output as well as a file, you can output it to "tee". [02:38] toobluesc: sorry [02:38] ok [02:38] veryhappy: http://embraceubuntu.com/2007/05/17/using-tee-to-write-to-files-and-the-terminal/ [02:38] it works on one monitor, i've dropped the res to 1024x768, but still no love [02:38] im using ubuntu 13.5 [02:38] monitor works in higher resolutions in windows, and card works on higher resolutions on other monitors [02:38] tool: If you're talking about this conversation people let me join you.

[02:38] id like to share a printer [02:38] i installed 13.10 and my laptop won't wake from suspend. it worked on 12.04 [02:38] veryhappy: You, of course, may need to install the tee utility. However, it's very helpful if you want to both see output and send it to a file. As for pastebinit, I'm not familiar with that. [02:39] Hey, I have something of a strange issue I need some help with. For my work I need to set up a softphone. That I have done, but I am trying to set the program to use my headphones and not my speakers [02:39] !pastebinit [02:39] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:39] help [02:39] But I can't find any way to get ubuntu to recognize my rear headphone's jack [02:39] it seems to be using the "radeon" driver... is that good or no? do i want to use the fglrx instead? Radeon HD 6310 chip [02:39] help [02:39] I can get it to work if I disconnect my my speakers and plug the headphones into the speaker jack [02:40] Lothsahn: it is already installed :) btw: pastebinit just needs to be piped with "command | pastebinit" [02:40] But that means I can't listen to music while working, which would be tragic [02:40] help [02:40] tool, Stop posting garbage and give some details. [02:40] I did [02:40] hai hai [02:40] tool: but then please write more than just "help" [02:40] veryhappy: Ah. In that case, tee will work for you. You'll just have to redirect the output to tee first (which will copy to the console), and then pipe/redirect to pastebinit [02:40] I did [02:41] tool, Name of OS and printer and share info would be a good start. [02:41] tool: don't spam. post, be patient and continue to google while you wait [02:41] Lothsahn: "command | tee | pastebinit" ? [02:41] share info? [02:41] veryhappy: Don't remember the exact syntax. Go read the page I linked--it's pretty detailed with examples. [02:41] hitsujiTMO: hi. i tried to install libsdl-net1.2:i386 but it wants to remove a lot of packages and says the move could be dangerous. [02:41] ok [02:41] tool, from-to is there a network, is this wifi...etc [02:41] i installed 13.10 and my laptop won't wake from suspend. it worked on 12.04. any ideas? [02:41] what version are you running, what sort of printer is it? is the print server built into the printer? [02:41] hitsujiTMO: so i opted out. [02:42] Lothsahn: that's in all cases better than the manually copy and paste thing :) [02:42] thank you [02:42] veryhappy: of course. :) [02:42] hitsujiTMO: i couldn't figure out how to install version 2 of sdl net though... [02:42] veryhappy: Tee is a very common command. if the page I linked isn't descriptive enough, I'm sure you can figure it out with Google. [02:42] cannon mx 395 [02:43] k [02:43] ubuntu 13.5 [02:43] Anyone have any experiance with getting headphones to play nice with speakers? [02:44] ? [02:44] geekmasterflash, hmm, no details?

[02:44] trying to uninstall opera. ubuntu 12.04, not installed in software center but still showing in unity, and with which, and i can open and run it. i am not able to remove it with dpkg or apt, both say it is not installed [02:44] help [02:44] oh tool... [02:44] If I have a specific bug in ubuntu that's irritating to me, is there some way that I could pay to get it fixed? [02:45] ngak ada ubuntu 13.5 yang ada 13.4 [02:45] geekmasterflash, red wine, empathy and positive reinforcement. ;) [02:45] Beldar: Using pulseaudio, I am trying to get both my speakers and rear headphone jack to play nice. Currently, I can get the rear input to work, but my read headphone jack doesn't appear to be an option in sound control [02:45] tool: help spam is not cool - patience [02:45] Beldar: I can get the headphone to work if I plug them into the speaker port, but that means I can't use my softphone and listen to music [02:45] you no listen [02:45] Beldar: Which is my end goal [02:45] Lothsahn: sure, you can create a bug bounty [02:46] Beldar: I'd be happy to provide more details if you know which commands I should be throwing down to get them? [02:46] geekmasterflash, Not sure if it is not in the sound control, you sure it's not a input? [02:46] Lothsahn: you indeed helped me a lot. [02:46] jrib: Where can you do a bug bounty? [02:46] like for a mic [02:47] Beldar: I am positive, as I have the mic portion of my headset plugged into the mic port and it works [02:47] geekmasterflash, I would address this to the channel. [02:47] Lothsahn: I don't know. Check if launchpad has such a functionality [02:48] jrib: [02:48] jrib: Thanks [02:48] Lothsahn: anyway i didn't get the 2>&1 work for me [02:48] Lothsahn: if there isn't such functionality there (or you can't find it), try #ubuntu-bugs or the mailiing list [02:48] veryhappy: 2>&1 just means redirect stdout and stderror [02:49] Alright, so the issue is this: I have set up a softphone on my machine for work. I like to listen to music while I work, so my goal is to have my sound from the softphone go to my headphones and mic and everything else my speakers. My headset is plugged into the rear headphone and mic jack. My mic is working, but in sound control I have no rear headphones option [02:49] Lothsahn: eh? [02:49] geekmasterflash, no sign of it with alsamixer in the cli? [02:49] yea i did apt-get update and upgrade but i just got 4 lines instead of all the lines normally shown [02:49] Beldar: Let me check [02:49] just a guess [02:49] tool : you'll find this hilarious. I just googled for linux printer sharing canon and guess what model was in an example on the top 10 search results? yeah. cool huh? [02:49] so RTFM and Google away [02:50] how do you set the FQDN on ubuntu server? [02:50] When I run sudo apt-get update I get an error when it reads the cache at 98% is there a way I can fix this? I can't do any updates at all. [02:50] Beldar: Yeah, I see a headphone option in AlsMixer [02:50] veryhappy: So the syntax would be: command 2>&1 | tee (filename) >> pastebinit [02:50] geekmasterflash, is it off? [02:50] help [02:50] anyone using samba 4 or 4.1 in production? [02:50] Lothsahn: i need a filename? [02:50] help [02:50] veryhappy: That'd send it to pastebinit and a file. I'm not sure how to send it to pastebinit as well as stdout, as there's only one stdout stream [02:50] help [02:51] Beldar: Good question. I see multi-colored bars which seems to suggest to me that it's not [02:51] tool: stop writing help again and again [02:51] veryhappy: Well, yes--there's only one stdout stream, so unless pastebinit supported splitting the stream, I don't know of a way to send stdout to console and redirect it [02:51] help [02:51] richringer, Are you sure all the repos are up for your release?

[02:54] Lothsahn: it's strange i always just get Reading package lists... [02:54] Building dependency tree... [02:54] Reading state information...

Nvidia gfx. [02:57] hey is there any pulseaudio experts out there who might help me configure my alc268 soundcard with pulseaudio in ubuntu 13.10? [02:58] jimmy_bananas, state the actual details to the channel for help. [02:58] Beldar apparently my local cache is corrupted. I get an input/output error says status file could not be opened or parsed. [02:59] richringer, hmm, this from the cli? [02:59] What is the ubuntu way of using a scanner on 12.04 ? [02:59] Beldar huh? [03:00] richringer: i'd check your "dmesg" are you getting a lot of I/O errors? could point to a failing drive (hopefully not). [03:00] richringer, just wondering where and when you see "an input/output error says status file could not be opened or parsed." [03:01] Beldar I ran apt-get update in a terminal. it showed the error in the terminal window. [03:02] apb1963, you tried xsane? [03:02] richringer, I would follow what zykotick9 suggests. [03:02] apb1963, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Scanners [03:03] Beldar yea... I just checked and that's what it's looking like. [03:03] Lothsahn: it doesn't help anything [03:03] :D [03:03] Ive got a Toshiba Satellite X205-S9800 with the realtek alc268 soundcard configured for 2 channels in alsa. This laptop has 4 speakers and a subwoofer capable of 5.1 surround, however I am unable to successfully enable the pulseaudio settings to work as such. I am running (Ubuntu 13.10). I have done some suggested modification to the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf file with only confusing results. [03:03] FYI - i got my Out of Range error resolved by uninstalling the fglrx drivers completely and rebooting. [03:04] veryhappy: So I can help you get it redirecting to a file and console--but you're on your own for pastebinit [03:04] what command are you trying to redirect? apt-get update? [03:05] both alsa and pulseaudio are up to date, but I am teaching myself how to configure them via ubuntu forums, and trial & error so its been an education lol [03:05] doing a design layout for a game [03:05] Out of all the sci-fi shows and what not, who had the coolest lab? [03:06] veryhappy: The following command will run an "apt-get update" and send all output both to test.txt and the console: "sudo apt-get update 2>&1 | tee test.txt" [03:06] ok [03:06] veryhappy: I don't know of a way to redirect standard out to pastebinit and also have it go to stdout. There may be a way--but I can't help with that. But at least if you send it to a file, you could monitor that file with tail -f [03:06] (in another terminal). [03:06] yea i'll try that [03:07] Why is my apt broken, and more importantly what I do to fix it. I've found various references to similar errors, but no solutions. http://bpaste.net/show/iKh7LkCgKVcyJIbXpe9q/ [03:08] gp5st: What specific error are you getting? [03:08] veryhappy: I believe this would be your command to redirect to pastebinit and a file: "sudo apt-get update 2>&1 | tee test.txt" [03:08] Do check to see if pastebinit has a flag that can cause it also to output to stdout [03:08] veryhappy: "sudo apt-get update 2>&1 | tee test.txt > pastebinit" [03:09] gp5st: my question, why is bash-completion not even installed? is this some stripped down install of some sort? [03:09] Lothsahn: really strange, i did it all the time the way you did but it didn't work now i see it just worked with .txt ?! [03:09] procps failed to start [03:10] veryhappy: The specific filename should not matter. I don't know why it wasn't working for you! :) [03:10] zykotick9: idk, it's a small vm. from ramnode. [03:10] Lothsahn: no, i'm completely stupid. :D i didn't do it that way [03:11] Hello. Every time I try to install Ubuntu 13.10 (both 32bit and 64bit) the isntaller freezes. [03:11] gp5st: good luck. i got nothing. [03:11] zykotick9: why did initramfs-tools get messed up? [03:11] :( [03:11] Lothsahn: i did command1 && command2 | tee something and of course only saw the output of command2! [03:11] pgrytdal-2, Is the hardware up for it? [03:11] veryhappy: Well. Yep! You would. :) [03:11] is there a way to install vmware tools using sudo apt-get? [03:11] so i need to make an append for tee then [03:12] pgrytdal-2, Have you checked the sums of any iso or changed install media? [03:12] john_doe_jr: Not that I know of. Copy the installer from the virtual mounted CD and run it manually from your home directory [03:12] thank you guys for solving this issue :) [03:12] Lothsahn: alright thanks [03:12] veryhappy: Tee will append if you pass -a [03:12] Lothsahn: I think it's do to this error: invoke-rc.d: initscript procps, action "start" failed. [03:12] veryhappy: tee --help :) [03:13] Lothsahn: but i don't know how to fix it or why it broke [03:13] Beldar What do you mean "is the hardware up for it"? I have tried a different install media. How do I check the sums? [03:13] ok [03:13] !md5sum | pgrytdal-2 [03:13] pgrytdal-2: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:13] gp5st: Do not know solution offhand.

[03:14] so i'm used to using iptables, but not that used to ubuntu server, i just want to put an iptables rule to route 80 through to localhost:8081 and am not sure how to do it without conflicting with networkmanager [03:14] (so that it survives reboot) [03:15] Lothsahn: i've seen that, but i don't have /etc/sysctl.d/30-iscsitarget.conf [03:15] Beldar I know the LiveUSB runs just fine with the 64bit (except for the installer.) There is 8gbs of RAM. [03:16] pgrytdal-2, Cool, we just on occasion have people trying to install on computers to old and weak to really run ubuntu. [03:16] pgrytdal-2, Is this a dual boot perchance? [03:18] Beldar: Is a Lenovo S100 too weak to run Ubuntu? [03:18] !firewall | birdsnacks [03:18] birdsnacks: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a bunch of boxes with similar specs, but a slower processor. [03:20] BuntuFuntu: It'll be slow with a lot of things open, assuming it only has 1GB RAM default. [03:20] BuntuFuntu: how much? [03:21] Lothsahn: how can i printf a newline into a file? \n? [03:21] Well it's running fine and yes it only has 1gb ram. And Reisio: I got mine for free(: [03:21] BuntuFuntu: If you upped it to 2GB RAM your experience would be a lot better, but the machine I'm on right now really isn't all that much faster than that one--and I have about 50 deployed machines in production with smaller specs than that. [03:21] I use that same netbook as a Ubuntu Server, although I'd highly recommend upgrade the RAM (although it's a pain with netbooks) as you will see the difference right away. [03:21] veryhappy: echo -e '\n' [03:21] veryhappy: if you're talking C, you want fprintf [03:21] BuntuFuntu: oh, nice [03:21] think my cousin might give me one of those [03:21] veryhappy: and for a newline, it's \n on Linux and \r\n on Windows [03:21] she might be under the delusion that a 5-year-old netbook is worth something, though [03:21] \n works fine on Windows [03:22] YEEHAW you guys i did it with your help! http://paste.ubuntu.com/6472046/ [03:22] thanks [03:22] I think the S100 was released in 2010 [03:22] reisio: Not if you want to edit it in notepad. yes, I know it's a dumb editor, but a lot of windows programs expect \r\n. many do not. [03:22] the kind of people who use notepad will not be using things from a Unix system [03:22] veryhappy: :) Now you're VERY HAPPY. (pun intended) [03:22] :D [03:23] reisio: Depends on if they're planning to ship to other users. I frequently get asked why log files don't open right. :) [03:23] Holy crap I just found out MY S100 has bluetooth O.O [03:23] so you actually see that everything should work right, but now i can show you that i can't install skype [03:24] And there wasn't a setting to turn bluetooth on with windows 7 starter, [03:24] Lothsahn: notepad users who look at log files? I think not [03:24] o.o [03:24] anyways, you don't put a \r into a text file on the offchance it will go to Windows [03:24] Beldar No. It is not dual boot. The 32bit does not come out correct. The 64bit does. [03:24] just unix2dos as required [03:24] reisio: Yep. Wish those ubuntu folk hadn't renamed that package. [03:25] did they? [03:25] to what? [03:25] tofrodos [03:25] :/ [03:25] Device 'LGL35G' (E8:92:A4:12:BF:2F) wants access to the service '0000111f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb\ [03:25] There's a compatibility package, but like... seriously? [03:25] think that's just a separate package [03:25] WHat service is that? [03:25] Reisio: Yeah, but, by default, dos2unix and unix2dos doesn't work on Ubuntu unless you install extra packages [03:25] reisio: Or didn't in one of the previous releases, like 12.04 LTS [03:26] well that would mean tofrodos is superior [03:26] reisio: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1540180 [03:26] Lothsans, what service is my device trying to access? [03:26] Device 'LGL35G' (E8:92:A4:12:BF:2F) wants access to the service '0000111f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb [03:26] reisio: superior or not, I don't expect to code an application for any mainstream linux and have dos2unix nonpresent! It was rather annoying :) [03:26] That would be bluetooth, right? [03:26] BuntuFuntu: No idea. [03:27] yeah [03:27] they should've made it a drop-in replacement (use same name) [03:27] reisio: Agreed. [03:27] pgrytdal-2, So when and where does the installer freeze on the 64 bit, and are there any errors? [03:27] reisio: I mean, also, how much can you REALLY improve that package! I mean... regex replace \n with \r\n! [03:27] reisio: [03:28] yeah I mean, really all the convenience is in the name [03:28] you can do it with tr from coreutils, after all [03:28] reisio: I saw a software vendor do it with a regex. [03:28] reisio: and they screwed up their regex in shell. [03:28] heh [03:29] On the 64 bit, if I decide to encrypt my whole installation, it freezes after I put in my name, computer name, username, and password. If I do not do that option, it happens somewhere during "copying files" [03:29] ^ Beldar [03:29] reisio: And they did it because they didn't select dos2unix when they compiled busybox. I mean, you can't make this stuff up... [03:29] poor silly embedded people [03:30] Lothsahn: It was Bluetooth [03:30] reisio: I'm sure they saved like a full 100 bytes from the compiled binary. Given their volumes of like 10,000 units/year, that was like... a full $5? [03:30] Wow, so apparently Ubuntu 13.10 and Windows don't play nice together share wise [03:30] pgrytdal-2, I have never encrypted so that is a dead end for me. Any other info though like a custom computer build, if it had another OS and what it was, just variables that could be the root of the problems. [03:31] I love how samba just freaking breaks for no reason [03:31] me too [03:31] thejhawk: You mean samba? Haven't had any problems. Normally I find samba works better than windows file shares [03:31] I did too [03:31] thejhawk: was an absolute PAIN to setup, though [03:31] Everything worked perfect [03:31] Hmm, so I am not getting sound to my headphones, but it's mirrored what's being played on my speakers. Is there any way to have my front headphones be different outputs from my built in sound? [03:32] geekmasterflash: That's very dependent on your soundcard. [03:32] I made three folders sharable I even put files in them from both PCs last night [03:32] worked great. Then I come back to my computer tonight and can't share anymore [03:33] authentication error on Windows side and I can' access Windows shares on ubuntu side [03:33] Lothsahn: Realtek ALC892 [03:33] thejhawk: Weird. Check /var/log/samba and make sure it's running? [03:33] ok. scrapped unity and now back to xfce. [03:33] If it wasn't running wouldn't I not be able to see them? [03:33] evilbug: :) [03:33] Lothsahn: I am trying to have my front mic be sepearate outputs from my default so I can make phone calls and listen to music [03:33] pgrytdal-2, Other helpful info might be the install media and how you are loading the ISO to it. [03:33] geekmasterflash: I don't know anything about which card you have. I'm just saying that some cards would support multiple output streams, and some do not. I wouldn't normally expect an embedded chip like a realtek to do that. [03:33] I can see my PC on the Windows workgroup in Windows 7 [03:33] geekmasterflash: but I have no experience with a Realtek ALC892. [03:34] gp5st, okay [03:34] geekmasterflash: I'm not even sure if Ubuntu supports that with multiple sound cards. It might. You could pick up a soundblaster audigy dirt cheap on ebay and play with that in addition to your realtek [03:34] geekmasterflash: If you find it's impossible with the realtek [03:34] geekmasterflash: ...Unless it's a laptop. [03:34] Lothsahn: It's a desktop [03:34] Lothsahn: According to Realtek, this built in can handle multiple outputs [03:35] DoverMo: the mention of ubuntu there gets you kicked. happened to me before as well. I was hoping someone there might know something. I didn't spam the channel, and even acknowledged it was in contract to normal conduct and that I've tried other avenues first [03:35] I've already installed in the last day Ubuntu about 4 times so I am guessing this isn't for me [03:35] geekmasterflash: So I doubt you can do what you're trying to do, but you might be able to. I'm not sure how to set it up. [03:35] geekmasterflash: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=922860 [03:35] gp5st, : P. that's freenode for us [03:35] * thejhawk just doesn't have the time to spend days trying to find out why I can't do something as simple as share folders across a network. oh well =( [03:35] Lothsahn: I can do it in windows, so I am positive it's not a hardware issue. [03:36] geekmasterflash: that website talks about setup for multiple sounds cards in ubuntu. if it's just showing one stream, I would suspect it's not possible. [03:36] DoverMo: it's annoying. i know they don't want to get over run as an ubuntu support channel, but still. no way to build a community [03:36] geekmasterflash: That means the hardware supports it, which is good. Now the question is does the Linux driver support it [03:36] thejhawk: Let me see what I can find out. [03:36] The OS still looks nice though. Linux has come a long way from years ago [03:36] gp5st, indeed. bad sentiments [03:36] Thejhawk: Linux is just the Kernel, not the OS(: [03:36] I give Ubuntu credit as far as linux finding drivers [03:36] I kno [03:36] I am speaking on Linux as a whole [03:36] gp5st, anyways, the output from that command should tell you what you need to configure first [03:37] geekmasterflash: If the linux driver doesn't show it as multiple outputs, it's probably not possible. But you can buy one of these for $7 (including shipping) and have two soundcards: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Creative-Labs-Sound-Blaster-Audigy2-GOLD-PCI-Sound-Card-SB0060-Tested-Working-/321258355975?pt=US_Sound_Cards_Internal_&hash=item4acc7d7d07 [03:37] geekmasterflash: Just need a spare PCI port. [03:37] geekmasterflash: You might find that your easiest solution. [03:37] Lothsahn: Which I don't have. [03:37] Ubuntu looks fantastic though. Perhaps 5 or 6 years down the road you may see ubuntu machines that rival OS X and Win [03:37] Lothsahn: I am running SLI [03:37] geekmasterflash: You don't have $7? [03:37] That would be fantastic [03:37] geekmasterflash: Oh, a spare PCI port. I wasn't talking PCI-X... I meant the olstyle PCI port [03:38] geekmasterflash: No room in the case? [03:38] Lothsahn: My PCI ports are filled by 2 video cards and system blowers [03:38] Lothsahn: To keep it from roasting alive [03:38] gp5st: there is no part of that question that is debian related or even close to anything #debian can possibly help you with. Asking in ##windows would be just as likely to get you an answer. [03:38] Beldar It *is* a custom computer. I received it from my church, after the Windows XP installation got a virus, so they replaced the entire computer(??). I know the CPU is an Asus P5K3 Deluxe. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500. [03:38] Thejhawk: My school district replaced one of two Computer Labs at the high school with Ubuntu computers(: [03:38] The whole "your computer can completely break at any point in time after doing nothing" thing I think is still a hangup. [03:38] OS'S* Not computers [03:38] I mean not to those that have the time [03:38] And I think it's Edubuntu :3 [03:39] beldar The grpahics card (if it maters) is a Evga E-Geforce 8800GT [03:39] !es [03:39] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [03:39] geekmasterflash: what about a USB headset? [03:39] BuntuFuntu: Good to hear. I hope they have knowledgable people working with them [03:39] geekmasterflash: This all assumes that you don't see two outputs in the pulseaudio configuration tool [03:39] Lothsahn: Wouldn't that have the same problem? Or would the USB headset use it's own audio driver? [03:40] BuntuFuntu: Linux as a whole I think still requires people with a whooooooole lot of time to be able to troubleshoot. I mean my opinion Doesn't mean I am right [03:40] geekmasterflash: USB headsets usually have their own decoder--I *think* [03:40] thejhawk: They do(: [03:40] Hey is there a ubuntu server channel? [03:40] BuntuFuntu: But I think distros like Ubuntu will get past that [03:40] geekmasterflash: You should double check me on that. [03:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6472111/ [03:40] eventually [03:40] zzxc: /msg alis list *ubunt*serv* [03:40] geekmasterflash: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Penguin-USB-2-0-Audio-Adapter-Card-for-Linux-Ubuntu-/270791927280 [03:40] there you go guys [03:40] themill: I don't really care to talk to you about this. I acknowledged that and as a last ditch someone there would know someone or something about procscp. I didn't spam the channel and honestly didn't expect much to come of it. [03:40] beldar I used both a 2gb SD card (connected to a SD to USB converter thing), a 8gb SD card (same thing), and a 1tb external hard drive. I do not have an actual USB drive right now xP [03:40] THejhawk: the only problem I've had with ubuntu is my laptops touchpad stopped working yesterday but even that fixed itself XD [03:40] thejhawk, helps if you brain can telepathically read machine language [03:40] themill: But +q me, it's fine. w/e I'm not going to login to another box and rail against it or anything. I don't care to squabble about someone's fiefdom [03:41] Thejhawk: After like 20 minutes of using a usb mouse. my laptops came back :3 [03:41] !es [03:41] geekmasterflash you could check out that one. it's built to work with Linux, which would be a big plus in terms of messing around with drivers. [03:41] It might! [03:41] O: [03:41] pgrytdal-2, To be honest I'm not sure I never have install problems, so I'm just going through possibilities which there are a lot of. How are you loading that ssd? [03:41] gp5st: it's not about fiefdoms. Debian doesn't support upstart and Debian does support openvz. #ubuntu or ##linux might. [03:41] Lothsahn: Hmm, that might be just what the doctor ordered, that or Realtek offering real linux support on their drivers. [03:41] geekmasterflash: This is all non-ideal. I mean, theoretically, ubuntu should work like windows and let you do what windows does. But I don't know what options you ahve in the pulseaudio. if the driver doesn't expose multiple output streams, you're hosed. [03:41] I love Linux and I think ubuntu is great, I just don't like being afraid everytime I open up my laptop praying to the OS gods that everything still works [03:42] So I need help with pgadminIII. I already tried #pgadmin channel and I counld'nt find help there, can anyone point me to a better channel? [03:42] geekmasterflash: Start by looking at pulseaudio's configuration and see if you only see one output device. if you only see one, you're done. :( [03:42] pgrytdal-2, You are doing the install to an internal HD? [03:42] Thejhawk: I've ran that risk almost this whole month. [03:42] Lothsahn: a thought strikes me, can I duplicate the card in alsa and just have the second "card" have every channel but mic and headphone muted and do it that way? [03:42] Beldar Yes [03:42] That sucks too because samba was working great. the only hangup I had with my install was getting java to work with chromium and oidentd [03:42] two things that I didn't care that much about [03:42] Thejhawk: I full installed Ubuntu, no fall back os's:D [03:42] geekmasterflash: Possibly. I'm not 100% clear on how the audio configuration works down to that level [03:43] themill: it is about fiefdoms and i know that, hence why i said so from the outset. I was hoping to find someone to point me someone where i could get help or help me outside of the channel. shooing people away for seeing if anyone knows anything that they could discuss out-of-band isn't anyway to run anything [03:43] geekmasterflash: The mic isn't really the problem anyway--you don't care if the mic goes everywhere, you just want to capture it in skype or your telephone program or whatever [03:43] gp5st: it's not. But good luck. [03:43] geekmasterflash: The problem is the sound output [03:43] BuntuFuntu: Yea =( I wish I knew what made it break. [03:43] themill: in theory, this issue isn't about #ubuntu so why are you talking about it here? [03:43] Lothsahn: True. [03:43] BuntuFuntu: I thnk it has something to do with libpam-smbpass [03:43] BuntuFuntu: Everytime I use the software center to install samba [03:43] it would hang on that [03:43] Lothsahn: Here is something: When I look in alsamixer, I can see it has a headphone channel [03:44] themill: you're breaking your own philosophy just to make me upset and make sure i've learned my lesson [03:44] last time it hung I went into term and manually installed it via apt-get [03:44] Thejhawk: Hmm. did you google search it? Thats probably a stupid question lol [03:44] and it worked [03:44] Lothsahn: It's just mirrored to the base output [03:44] Beldar To create the live USB, I have used Unetbootin, usb-creator-gtk and the terminal method. (http://anl4u.com/blog/how-to-create-live-bootable-usb-via-terminal-in-linux/) [03:44] BuntuFuntu: Yea. can't find anything that seems usefull [03:44] geekmasterflash: I can't guarantee that the card I linked will show up as a second soundcard, but I think it will. [03:44] geekmasterflash: Ah. yes, you do not want to mirror that [03:44] geekmasterflash: If you could set it to non-mirrored and have two output sources, that's what you want [03:44] I installed Ubuntu, shared a folder and natuilus asks to install samba which I did [03:45] I noticed though it hung on libpam-smbpass [03:45] Lothsahn: Indeed, I am just not sure I can [03:45] So I went to terminal, apt-get installed and then my shares worked [03:45] for a day [03:45] now they broke [03:45] Thejhawk: Hmm. PM me thejhawk. [03:45] did you guys see? [03:45] Sure [03:45] pgrytdal-2, Do you have any dvd's, the ssd going through a usb converter could be a problem, one never knows. [03:46] Hi [03:46] Beldar No I do not. Besides, the DVD player on the computer I am using does not work. x( [03:47] Ubuntu keeps returning me to login screen when I login [03:47] Can someone please help? [03:47] hereticlocke just delete ubuntu and install archlinux [03:47] Haha [03:47] Seriously, this is an emergency [03:48] im being serious [03:48] eb0t: Yeah not a fast thing. [03:48] geekmasterflash: You using ubuntu? Open sound in the control panel [03:48] HereticLocke, i would recommend lunar linux [03:48] I wonder if it's better to use apt-get instead of the software center [03:48] HereticLocke: what's the error log say? [03:48] I mean I know the software center is just a GUI [03:48] Lothsahn: Just "sound"? [03:48] geekmasterflash: Applications->System Settings->Sound [03:48] geekmasterflash: AFK. Be back in a couple [03:48] or fedora if you dont want to get into the guts of linux [03:48] gp5st: something about a .so file [03:49] HereticLocke: So when you sign in it automatically signs out. [03:49] Lothsahn: Got sound open [03:49] HereticLocke: not very informative [03:49] Any samba gurus? [03:49] maybe turn off caps lock [03:49] opps [03:49] sorry about the any [03:49] I need a good seasoned samba guru [03:49] pgrytdal-2, Thats about it for me I'm assuming your limited to this install media. If it were me I would look there IE a USB, and look on askubuntu in regards to to hardware and computer model if relevant for this release your trying. [03:50] I would be greatful for your assistance [03:50] eb0t: interesting, i didn't see that in all caps..i wonder if pidgeon auto-converts that? [03:50] HereticLocke: log into console (ctrl+alt+f1) and run "ls -la .Xauthority" is it owned by root? [03:50] gp5st: error while loading shared libraries /use/lib32/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header [03:50] pgrytdal-2, Thing is it could be any number of things really. [03:50] dont know ...im using weechat-curses on archlinux [03:50] thejhawk: Whats your issue? [03:51] zykotick9: I have done that It is not [03:51] HereticLocke: ok. good luck. [03:51] Thanks [03:51] zzxc: I had 3 folders shared on a network, everything worked. I could get into the folders and add/remove files. I could also do the same on my Win PCs [03:52] gp5st: Does that help? [03:52] zzxc: And now they broke and I don't know why. Authentication problems for both [03:52] zzxc: on the Win side Win 7 is asking for a pass [03:52] But it is getting the auth page? [03:52] zzxc: and Ubuntu is asking the same [03:52] pgrytdal-2, Better help might be good, I am not a file checker for errors and there may be places to look in this freeze, I just don't know where [03:52] I get a diag, on Win 7 asking for a username and password. [03:52] HereticLocke: well, it's more informative than "something about an so" :) [03:53] Beldar Okay. Thank you anyway. At least you tried. =) [03:53] geekmasterflash: Do you see multiple devices under the output tab? [03:53] geekmasterflash: Like I have analog output and digital output on my computer [03:53] zzxc: When the software center installed samba it hung on libpam-smbass (did not install it) [03:53] zzxc: I did so via apt-get and that made them work before [03:54] but I don't know now [03:54] Lothsahn: I see HDMI/Display 4, HDMI/Display, Digital Output (buildin) and Analog Output (built in) [03:54] HereticLocke: from http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libstdc-so-5-wrong-elf-class-elfclass64-723830/ does installing 'ia32-libs' help any? [03:54] libpam-smbpass was on there [03:54] is on there I mean [03:54] geekmasterflash: That would indicate that it's not aware that your soundcard can output both [03:54] geekmasterflash: But if you hooked your speakers up on digital and your headphones on analog, it might work [03:54] geekmasterflash: Have to feed and tuck in baby. Will be back in like 30 mins. [03:54] I've had this trouble before and that corrected it. But now seing as how its installed I don't know what the issue is [03:55] Beldar that's the page I've been looking at... not able to get my scanner working properly... it prints... but xsane can't find it. [03:55] geekmasterflash: if you don't have digital speakers, though, that's not going to work. There may be another way to do it--but given that it only shows one analog output device I suspect it doesn't know your card can do them separately. [03:55] thejhawk: Wait so what is the change. Are you under the new OS on windows/ did you reinstall samba/ or did it just break? [03:55] it just broke. [03:55] Lothsahn: I have noticed something troubling [03:55] Lothsahn: I normally use pavucontrol for sound [03:55] zzxc: to trouble shoot I removed/installed samba [03:55] gp5st: package not available [03:55] that didn't work [03:56] beldar: sane-find-scanner finds it, I followed the directions and put the ids in the conf file... no joy.... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious [03:56] zzxc: I removed/installed libpam-smbpass [03:56] that didn't work either [03:56] Lothsahn: In pavucontrol, I get the option to set my built in a analog output+input [03:56] thejhawk: Did you do a remove or purge? [03:56] --purge [03:56] Lothsahn: Bunt in this sound screen, it doesn't even mention my mic [03:56] HereticLocke: even after doing an apt-get update? are you on a 64-bit machine? [03:56] should I not have? [03:56] No that was the right option. [03:56] Lothsahn: Or give the option to set input [03:56] apb1963, Have you googled the scanner and your release? [03:57] Purge removes all user files as well (supposely) [03:57] zzxc: I just wished it worked [03:57] zzxc: not sure what happend [03:57] Beldar: I don't understand [03:57] zzxc: they were working earlier today. I [03:57] Why zorinOS isn't supported here and I should fight with that offtopic? ZorinOS just uses the same ubuntu kernel, doesn't it? My tryings were crudely interrupted by "we are not abliged"? [03:57] thejhawk: Yeah I'm trying to set up audio on server. I know what you mean. Sometimes its like beating your head against a wall. [03:57] I've been away from my PC a while and I did get a few ubuntu diag. telling me Ubuntu had a problem [03:57] gp5st: Yes I am. Still does not work [03:57] Beldar: do you mean on the project sane page? That page won't come up. [03:58] geekmasterflash: not sure why that would be [03:58] zzxc: The only thing I think I can do is reinstall Ubuntu entirely [03:58] thejhawk: with the samba share after you put in the user and password? [03:58] apb1963, askubuntu is a good resource. Many time the hardware yhou using IE a scanner or computer or printer and the actual release like 13.04 brings up info, same at askubuntu. [03:58] zzxc: because I have no idea and no advance knowledge of samba [03:58] thejhawk: I would hold off on that until you're completely out of options. [03:58] your* [03:58] thejhawk: ehh I've only used it about as much as you honestly. [03:58] Though it was a different usecase. [03:59] zzxc: It asks for a user/pass and I give it one and still asks for one [03:59] apb1963, if others are having a problem chances are its on the web, [03:59] I give it the user pass for my account [03:59] HereticLocke: from http://askubuntu.com/a/179818 try 'sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 gcc-4.6-base:i386 libstdc++5:i386 libstdc++6:i386' what version of ubuntu. should have asked that sooner [03:59] thejhawk: when you did the reinstall did you tell it which users to allow? [03:59] I do the same when Ubuntu asks me for a pass to open a windows share [03:59] Can I restore files from a windows backup to ubuntu? [04:00] gp5st: This all started when I ran sudo MV /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:00] ubuntu_ashley, files of? [04:00] I backed up everything in windows before installing but I can't figure out how to restore the backup [04:00] HereticLocke: if your using 13.10 use apt-get install gcc-multilib [04:00] zzxc: About 30 min ago. And I have not beenin the config at all other than to change the workgroup [04:00] gp5st: Reverse that. xorg.conf first and then xorg.conf.bak [04:00] Have you restarted your machine since? [04:00] I restarted the service [04:00] and the name service [04:00] both [04:00] smbd nmbd [04:00] its a .VHD file [04:01] geoffmcc: Already installed [04:01] Lothsahn: Thanks for you help, but for my own sanity I think I will buy that usb sound expansion you showed me [04:01] ubuntu_ashley, This from a windows backup using its tools? [04:01] yes [04:01] HereticLocke: which version of ubuntu and can you install those packages? xorg.conf touches so much stuff, I won't be able to help you other than saying to switch it back [04:02] Hmmm: well its acting like it doesn't like the user info you're providing. [04:02] HereticLocke: the libc6:i386 line, not ia32-libs [04:02] gp5st: 13.10 [04:02] ubuntu_ashley, Not sure other than windows does not read the linux partitions without a driver and that is some old stuff. [04:02] try the line from the stackoverflow HereticLocke, ia32-libs is apparently for older version of ubuntu [04:02] :( [04:02] it has all my photos and poems [04:02] thejhawk: I'm kind of clueless on it though. I would try removing and reinstalling it again, and setting the user list up again, but I'm clueless as to what is going wrong. [04:02] ubuntu_ashley, Load it to a usb or external HD and try [04:03] gp5st: How can I switch it back? The packages are not available [04:03] I have the usb connected it sees the files [04:03] I can't open it though [04:03] HereticLocke: the xorg.conf file. do the libc6:i386 and company packages install? [04:03] Beldar: Good idea... sadly, there is only 1 hit for my 12.04 Epson XP-310; and the question was about printing. I have printing working... it's scanning that is a problem. The link they provide on that page leads to the Epson website... but the page isn't found. [04:04] oops. xp-300 [04:04] ubuntu_ashley, If it's made with the windows backup utility, its to just reload through that utility, not open [04:05] gp5st: Already installed [04:05] that just sucks [04:05] apb1963, I have seen problems with combo printer and scanners, you migh try posting at askubuntu and the ubuntu forums if you get no answer here. [04:05] HereticLocke: not sure then, you can try to remove and then reïnstall but they prob have tons of things depending on them. Someone else here might know how to force-install something [04:06] ubuntu_ashley, You might ask in ##widows they would know more on this I would think. [04:06] Beldar: nvm... I found the epson page. Thank you for your help! Hopefully that driver will do the trick. Time will tell.... very shortly :) [04:06] ubuntu_ashley, Is this the whole OS saved? [04:07] I dont know [04:07] ubuntu_ashley, A recovery or install disc has a reloading utility for images. [04:08] ubuntu_ashley: http://askubuntu.com/questions/202571/how-to-mount-a-virtual-hard-disk [04:08] why does my firefox crash every 10 minutes or so [04:08] geekmasterflash: Okay, I hope that works out for you. I can't guarantee it will. :) [04:09] any idea why a script will run fine from the command line (as ubuntu user) but not on crontab @reboot as the ubuntu user, i can't work it out, i've printed 'whoami' listed the dir, made sure the script goes into the right wd, etc, but i am getting permission denied on accessing the file the shell script (that cron fires) is running (http://dpaste.com/1481982/plain/ output showing the file is there and readable) [04:10] crontab -l @reboot /home/ubuntu/assembly_flight_mearth/sandbox/echo_server/run.sh >> /home/ubuntu/echo_server.log 2>&1 [04:10] i wonder if something isn't reading on @reboot [04:11] is there a good book for beginners? [04:11] ubuntu_ashley, hard to say. maybe check your plugins + extensions. You can do a clean install with "apt-get purge firefox && rm -rf ~/.mozilla && apt-get install firefox* [04:11] birdsnacks: if i where you, i'd check line 26 of /home/ubuntu/echo_server/echo_server.js <-what's that?! [04:12] ubuntu_ashley, meant to put " not "*" [04:12] DoverMo, what does that do? lol [04:12] zykotick9: $(which nodemon) $@ ${BASE}/echo_server.js - all parts of this are correct upon printing individually [04:12] ubuntu_ashley, it uninstalls, deletes local files, reinstalls [04:12] Ubuntu_Ashley, that command will fully delete firefox and then reinstall it. [04:12] and it runs fine if i execute my cron line from the shell as ubuntu [04:13] wonder if eth0 isn't actually up [04:13] birdsnacks: ? that's way over my head. but that's in the error, so it's your biggest lead right now ;) [04:13] i wrote it, it runs fine in debian :\ [04:14] can't figure out what resource is missing at @reboot [04:14] ubuntu_ashley: Try just deleting extensions from the ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.profile/extensions before removing everything. I couldn't open firefox at all earlier, so I had to do this [04:15] my soundblaster audigy sound card is no longer being detected. anyone know how to fix? [04:17] gonna try my new LiveCD brb [04:19] looks like @reboot is a bit of a disaster [04:19] Hey everyone. I was curious if Expect is still a common technology? [04:20] I have no xorg.conf file [04:22] my soundblaster audigy sound card is no longer being detected. anyone know how to fix? [04:22] HereticLocke: this is normal on more recent versions [04:23] Okay thanks [04:23] I can't login. It keeps logging me out [04:23] Won't display my desktop [04:24] HereticLocke: Can you access a tty? Perhaps try adding another DM , gdm/kdm I'm not sure what your original problem is [04:25] privacyplease: Yeah I can. I've tried those but it still returns me to login. That is just the problem [04:26] can anyone help me with an ffmpeg job? [04:26] !anyone | muteboy [04:26] muteboy: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [04:28] how do I use ffmpeg to rotate an mp4 90 degrees clockwise, and scale it down to 600px tall? [04:28] i've searched and found examples, but none seem to work [04:29] muteboy: you tried -vf "transpose=1" for rotate? [04:32] just tried it, and the output is the same as the input [04:32] muteboy: works for me but I'm no ffmpeg expert. Maybe you should try an ffmpeg channel [04:33] that is an exellent idea! [04:33] (didn't occur to me there was one) [04:33] HereticLocke: I'm not sure the steps you've taken so far, but are you using a propietary driver? Could you dump the Xsession log and upload it? [04:34] privacyplease: I cannot because I cannot login. I am via mobile [04:35] HereticLocke: Press ctrl + alt + f2 ? You should be able to login if the graphical login screen appears. Unless you really messed something up [04:35] privacy please: I can but no gui [04:35] Anyone know of an audio streaming client.. one that just sits there waiting to have data streamed to it? [04:36] HereticLocke: You can use pastebinin after logging in via tty to upload the file [04:36] pastebinit, rather [04:37] digitalw00t: do you mean like https://launchpad.net/audio-recorder [04:37] privacyplease: How? No gui no browser [04:38] HereticLocke: ctrl + alt + f2 should bring up a terminal, you do not need a gui [04:39] privacyplease: yes but how do I pastebin? [04:39] Looking for something I can run in a raspberry pi. Wanted to put it on the back deck and just stream music to it. [04:39] HereticLocke: sudo apt-get install pastebinit, it is a command line tool to upload to pastebin === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:39] digitalw00t: then the raspi forum is probably a better idea seeing how you need something that is built for that [04:40] I haven't decided on a platform. Raspberry, beaglebone, etc. [04:40] digitalw00t: still, if it isn't ubuntu, you are asking int he wrong place. This is for ubuntu support [04:41] I'm asking opinions in a linux irc channel. [04:41] digitalw00t: this is for ubuntu support only... [04:41] digitalw00t, there's ##linux [04:41] privacyplease: paste.ubuntu.com/6472253 [04:41] Wow.. there's always someone in each place like that. [04:42] digitalw00t: and when you leave, he'll be gone ;-) IT's just a suport channel. That's all [04:42] I can RUN ubuntu on a beaglebone black. If you don't have an opinion you don't have to speak. [04:42] digitalw00t, always [04:43] I normally use Ubuntu DoverMo, so I figured I would ask here. [04:44] HereticLocke: Can you explain the steps you took before the problem started? [04:45] digitalw00t, try searching 'icecast' [04:46] privacyplease: I sudo apt-get purge fglrx* [04:46] Then [04:46] Thanks DoverMo.. started eyeing vlc, but REALLY didn't want to run a gui. Hate to lose horsepower on a gui if it's not needed. [04:46] privacyplease: Then I sudo apt-get install fglrx [04:47] digitalw00t: doesn't omxplayer suport streaming on raspi? [04:47] privacyplease: Then mv /etc/X11/xorf.conf /etc/X11/xorf.conf.back Then I restarted and could not login === allen is now known as Guest83394 [04:49] Greetings from Pear OS 8 [04:49] :D [04:49] HereticLocke: I see, did you try the steps here http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-propretary-ati-drivers? [04:49] HereticLocke: I have done this myself before, and something like that fixed it [04:50] privacyplease: I think that is where the trouble started [04:50] Should I finish the steps? [04:51] HereticLocke: I would concentrate on removing the drivers completely, without reinstalling the proprietary ones until you login again [04:52] HereticLocke: The way I understand it, you removed the proprietary drivers, and then you haven't put them back in correctly and it's still using them and has nothing else to fall back to because nothing is setup correctly [04:54] Hi guys? I did try to verify a file by doing this on the terminal: gpg --verify --with-fingerprint x.html.sig x.html [04:54] if they are truly installed, then just run sudo aticonfig --initial [04:54] then it printed an RSA Key Id, then what should i do next to check? [04:55] is it enough that the RSA key id matches or do i have to do any more step? [04:56] wheatthin: Would that work with missing shared objects? [04:57] nope.. which objects were missing? [04:57] privacyplease: It didn't work. By the way there was no xorg.conf to remove I did as you said :( [04:59] HereticLocke: Did you remove all of the flgrx? and then restart? [04:59] wheatthin: paste.ubuntu.com/6472253 [05:00] privacyplease: I don't think so I will try again [05:00] Anyone here use Spotify to sync local music to an iPod? [05:01] Hi guys? I did try to verify a file by doing this on the terminal: gpg --verify --with-fingerprint x.html.sig x.html // then it printed an RSA Key Id, then what should i do next to check? is it enough that the RSA key id matches or do i have to do any more step? === ubuntu__ is now known as Guest98355 [05:07] privacyplease: No it still does not solve the problem [05:07] One further question: Does sudo apt-get install spotify-client ring a bell? [05:07] HereticLocke: Well your answer is in between removing the proprietary drivers completely and getting xorg dependencies working so you can login and maybe reinstall them [05:07] HereticLocke: Has the Xsession file changed? [05:08] privacyplease: No it has not [05:10] HereticLocke: Ok, do the steps to reinstall xorg? [05:10] HereticLocke: Then be sure to reconfigure it sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:13] Hello, I have ASUS Maximus Gene Z mother board with the graphical bios (EFI), I made a partition by decreasing volume of C drive, and converting the unallocated space to a drive H: which i intended to install Ubuntu on.

When I selected any of the options (try ubunt [05:13] Latter is the ISSUE # 2 i am having.

[05:14] yhusha_: I think linux can handle that just fine, perhaps uses the software centre to search for a gui version [05:15] yhusha_: sed may serve your purposes... jedit is a nice graphical option for doing regular expression search and replace if that's what you're looking for [05:15] yhusha_: sed [05:16] anyone?

[05:22] ubuntuaddicted [05:22] blognewb [05:23] blognewb: It depends what you are matching it to, it should match the correct signature of the author, I believe. [05:23] privacyplease: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6472333/ I pasted the question I asked here [05:24] privacyplease, the next line after i did that was it said the RSA Key ID, then the sender's RSA Key ID matched. But Isn't that a public key? His Public RSA Key ID Matched, is that enough as verification? [05:24] matched = i checked it manually [05:28] blognewb: Well you are importing the signature file and then verifying it with the file you downloaded. The signature or fingerprint is the public key that was used to sign the file with authorship. I'm not an expert though but I think that is how it works. === keith_ is now known as occamsquattro [05:29] privacyplease: Got any idea about what to do with that question i asked? [05:30] The signature or fingerprint is the public key that was used to sign the file with authorship. = so you think it's verified in your opinion, privacyplease ? [05:30] privacyplease: It does not work. :( [05:30] blognewb: I think so, best asked in a security channel though to be sure. [05:31] HereticLocke: It's hard for me to imagine where you are at in the process. Can you try to get in with failsafe mode? [05:31] ziikutv: I am reading your question [05:31] Alright I will yry [05:31] *try [05:34] Beldar: I did a bunch of different things, I'm not 100% sure which of them did the trick. The key was to unplug and replug my USB cable. I suspect, but am not sure that some of the instructions on this page helped, in particular installing the libsane-extras package, but again... not really sure which of the dozen things I did was required other than replugging my cable. Just thought you might like to know. Thanks again for the help. [05:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo [05:34] ziikutv: First of all, resizing a partition is a high risk process. [05:34] ziikutv: However, did you remove the recovery partition in the process? [05:35] privacyplease: I can't. The screen goes blurry [05:36] HereticLocke: Could you try using lightdm? Install and make sure it is set to use it? It's a long process to figure out graphic problems :(, especially from my limited memory of past problems. [05:36] So what is the huge appeal in using rtorrent? [05:36] privacyplease: I did not have it [05:37] Can you do a sudo startx in a tty and see if it produces a message [05:37] HereticLocke: Or not because it will probably throw a display mode error?

[05:39] as soon as the iso boots u [05:39] up [05:40] and i select any of the option from the grub menu my monitor goes to power saving mode [05:40] privacyplease: lightdm is the default already. Choosing gdm presents me with no login screen at all [05:40] if i install a mainline kernel into my Precise Xubuntu and I am currently running the AMD binary drivers, do I have to reinstall the AMD driver for me to get a display to work?

[06:47] I am doing ICS from my laptop (wireless is working perfectly) to my desktop using Ethernet [06:47] balsaq: idk, but making a directory for it to be in might help [06:48] so i have to make a directory [06:48] hmmm, never did that [06:48] rahuldroy: Because the wireless is not working on the Desktop? Correct? and the desktop is 12.04 or 13.10? [06:49] so how do i make a directory and then command terimanl to finish the installation? [06:49] Desltop is Ubuntu 12.04.3 and Laptop is 13.10. [06:49] it is right after i type sudo ./install.sh that the terminal asks me...what directory do i want it in [06:50] I would really appreciate the help guys :(, it saying that I it has a problem installing the grub-efi package into target [06:51] is a directory a file or was i supposed to have made a partiton for stuff like this when i did my install schmidtm ? [06:51] balsaq: idk what you are working with, if you had typed a directory that you had permission to make, it might have made it for you, it is a mystery [06:52] balsaq: A directory is a ... folder.. it contains other things like directories and files [06:52] balsaq: When it asks you for a place to install, try typing: ~/game [06:52] And see what happens [06:53] Hi everyone [06:53] Darryl: hi [06:53] ok schmidtm ill try that thank u [06:54] I am planning to setup a Django production server on Ubuntu. Has anyone setup Django production server? [06:54] Darryl: I'm sure someone has [06:54] rahuldroy: Ok, do you have the kernel version for the desktop? [06:54] Hi , i have a server which was installed with post-fix mail server in VPS, now i can send mail from VPS to any emails, and even i can send mails from any email to vps too, is it possible to use this post-fix to send and receive mails from any other vps which holding applications without installing or configuring post-fix in that vps ? [06:54] way terminal asks me the question, it leads me to believe there are various terminals for me to put installs? i dont know what a directory is so i dont know how to answer...it is the final step and my install is done [06:54] come and join #Kanaan for a test === perosredo is now known as pero [06:55] Kernel version : 3.5.0-43-generic (64 bit) [06:55] i mistyped that sch let me try again...does ubuntu already has places that are know as directories ? [06:56] or is a directory something i have to create when i install a game ? [06:56] balsaq: it's just where you want it to place files. folder/directory/etc. [06:56] ok here goes [06:56] Darryl: something kind of like http://eshlox.net/en/2012/09/11/nginx-uwsgi-virtualenv-and-django-ubuntu-1204/ [06:56] ill try your idea now [06:57] Darryl: just keep in mind a howto is no substitute for reading the package docs [06:57] Thanks reisio [06:57] i used xmodmap to map capslock to ESC, which is wonderful and i don't know why it took me five years to do it [06:58] but i am wondering if there is a way to map shift+capslock to capslock [06:58] gdoteof: :) [06:58] or something like that [06:58] since like 2 times a year i actually want it [06:58] gdoteof: xbindkeys? [06:58] gdoteof: not tab? [06:58] I would be using Ubuntu 13.10 server for Django because 12.04 does not work well on my old laptop server for some strange reason [06:59] reisio: not tab what? [06:59] gdoteof: ESC used to be where TAB is these days [06:59] i use tab all the time; i am happy to keep it the same [06:59] I think i should give 12.04.3 a try before trying 13.10 :D [07:00] !tab [07:00] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:00] ... [07:00] reisio: am i missing a point of yours? [07:00] I don't think so, no [07:00] can someone help me install grub? [07:00] elementary-site4: what's the trouble [07:00] Hello, i used another partition (ntfs) as my download default directory for firefox, but whenever i want to delete some of the files, it wont move to trash but delete it immediately, how do i fix it to move to trash first? [07:01] Darryl: honestly 13.10 has been better on my system [07:01] rahuldroy: Ok, if you had previous kernel versions work for you, then select a previous kernel at grub. Otherwise, the only option is an upgrade really that I can see would be useful [07:01] Romance: how're you deleting? [07:01] Darryl: I don't normally recommend going up to the cutting edge but in my case it's worked out pretty darn well.. using Kubuntu [07:01] reisio: right click, move to trash [07:01] Reisio: I am attempting to install elementary os on my computer, but the installer says cannot install grub-efi package to target [07:02] Romance: mmm, well if it's another FS, it'd actually be copying the data to trash [07:02] Romance: you sure you want that? [07:02] okay i got xbindkeys; are you suggesting i basically bind something to a script that turns off my capslock->esc binding? or can i do smething else [07:02] I will give 13.10 a try then. older version of Ubuntu gave kernel panic on long run on my old system :( [07:02] rahuldroy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6472561/ [07:02] reisio: of course, its my safe bet to restore something if i deleted wrong files [07:03] Romance: so this is... nautilus? [07:03] reisio: yes? ubuntu 12.04 gnome [07:04] Would there be any way to install grub to a different partition? [07:04] its an uefi problem i guess [07:04] gdoteof: sorry not sure I understand the issue entirely... xbindkeys will let you setup key bindings that don't ordinarily work through the key mapping settings but I'm not sure I understand your issue [07:04] elementary-site4: grub is supposedly to be always in /dev/sda [07:05] well, no grub can be installed to a partition [07:05] It's trying to install it there, but I don't think it can :C [07:05] it's just ordinarily not [07:05] wafflejock: well i have 2 issues. i used xmodmap to map Caps to escape; which works to hit escape but actually still turns caps on which is really annoying; and 2) if 1. wasn't an issue i would like to have some way to still turn on capslock [07:05] wafflejock: like, shift+capslock [07:05] or ctrl+capslock [07:05] Romance: that does sound like a bug, so despite being able to fix it yourself, you should probably first just see what upstream thinks about it [07:06] Romance: it may just be a pref, though :) [07:06] wafflejock: it appears xbindkeys is primarily a way to bind keys to commands; so i was wondering if it was being suggested that i write a command that can turn on and off capslock; then bind a key to that [07:06] or if there is some more direct way [07:06] reisio: i dont know, maybe i set fstab incorrectly, would it effect it? [07:07] Romance: no [07:07] it's a bug for a few reasons [07:07] it says "move" and does not move [07:07] yeah [07:07] thanks for that , ill try it out now [07:07] it also is a different behavior depending on FS [07:07] for one it moves, for one it deletes [07:07] now they may have done it on purpose, but it's still a bug :p [07:08] gdoteof: I've used xbindkeys to setup key bindings for the keypad in kubuntu to run system commands... it may also help to remap keys but it sounds like that's what you're using xmodmap for already so not sure how it'll come into play tehre [07:08] reisio: is there somthing i can do to at least "view" the deleted files [07:08] gdoteof: as you said xbindkeys basically allows you to run some command when a key or key combo is hit though so it may still come in handy but not sure exactly how to apply it to your situation [07:08] Romance: that's involved, did you lose some important files? === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [07:09] reisio: not really, just wanna try to find a way [07:09] Romance: well that's another matter :p [07:10] Romance: as to the original, do you see something about 'behavior' in the nautilus prefs? [07:10] okay; well maybe someone can help me understand why caps lock now maps to capslock and escape key [07:10] I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome 3 and on my secondary monitor I have this small area in the right where I can't mouse-click or scroll, any idea what could be causing this? [07:10] pressed seemingly simultaneously [07:10] Romance: oh nevermind [07:12] reisio: what kind of behavior, oh but when i `ls` in the terminal, it highlights them green which mean they are all readable writeable and executable no matter what files are they [07:12] Romance: ...huh? [07:12] reisio: yeah i was like 'huh?' too, i dont know why its like that [07:14] hello i have my windows vista disk for installation i am running ubuntu 13.10 and i installed virtual box i want to install the vista in he virtual machine how do i create an ISO of my vista disk to the drive or can i install it from the disk? [07:15] nixm: I think you can officially download the vista iso from the net [07:16] i have the real disk [07:16] its in my drive [07:16] nixm: just connect the optical disk in your settings for the vbox [07:16] nixm: 'install it from the disk?' yes [07:20] hi [07:21] I have a co-worker gifting me a 1.2 Ghz SPARC desktop (dual processors) from Sun. Is 10.04 worth installing at this point, or should I just stick with Solaris? [07:21] munz thanks got it [07:21] reisio thank you [07:22] sweet! [07:23] gothmasterflash: solaris is deader than disco [07:23] reisio, True, but 10.04 is older than dirt. Even other linux distros have nothing but old libs for SPARC as far as I can see [07:24] gothmasterflash: the arch is pretty dead, too :) === LoganG is now known as LoganG|off [07:25] reisio, Still sees some use in server rooms, but yes.

Could anybody help please? [07:26] I have SPARC NAS :( [07:26] kcj, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:26] wafflejock, That's basically what I plan to do with it. What are you running on it? [07:26] only 200Mhz too so building anything on it is a marathon [07:26] gothmasterflash: Already have restricted extras install. [07:27] It's a readynas duo mostly basic stuff just have some custom config for rsync [07:27] it works fine for what it does, backup and RAID 1, not a completely custom setup though [07:27] well the hardware you can't do anything about === a1|away is now known as AbyssOne__ [07:27] it's OS is sarge [07:28] but if you use something other than solaris, you _can_ have modern software [07:28] kcj: it's better when you explain further and pastebin error messages so you don't get random asnwers like 'install extras' :) [07:28] kcj: does sudo apt-get update help at all? [07:28] and that :) [07:29] kcj: near the bottom of the updates you will find some 3rd party app you installed and it is causing it [07:29] you can unselect it, not sure another solution [07:29] Can't really pastebin a dialog box but I can screencap. [07:29] spotify has done it to me [07:31] dinosrule, munz: Here's what apt-get update spits out http://paste.ubuntu.com/6472643/ [07:32] kcj, Odd [07:32] gothmasterflash: this is the output of my uname -a Linux NETGEARNAS 2.6.17.14ReadyNAS #1 Wed Jun 20 20:08:20 PDT 2012 padre unknown and here's my sources.list on the box, beyond that I can't really tell you much http://paste.ubuntu.com/6472647/ [07:32] Thanks wafflejock [07:32] gothmasterflash: Yes.

[07:34] elementary-site4, Which part has you stuck? [07:34] Hey all, I have a question relating to sandboxing of apps. My problem is that occasionally I will run an app that will take up all available system resources and crash the Unity shell. Is there a way of sandboxing programs so they don't crash Unity? I was thinking maybe using ulimit +/ renice [07:34] kcj: http://askubuntu.com/questions/89198/the-following-signatures-were-invalid [07:34] I put the iso onto the usb and then booted it up, and slected install ubuntu, but after that i get a black screen and nothing happens [07:35] Question on SE here, not much discussion though http://askubuntu.com/questions/372335/is-there-a-way-of-sandboxing-applications-so-when-they-fail-they-dont-crash-ubu [07:35] elementary-site4, How did you create the boot usb, exactly? [07:35] I used usb creator [07:35] elementary-site4, In ubuntu? [07:35] yes sir [07:35] elementary-site4, Did you remember to set the persistence? [07:36] I'm not sure what that means [07:36] elementary-site4, in usb creator, this is an option that asks you to select how much space you want to reserve for persistence [07:37] elementary-site4, I had to set it manually myself, otherwise I would get the same problem you did on USB boot [07:37] oh its set to to 1gb it seems [07:37] elementary-site4, How big is the usb device? [07:37] 8gb [07:37] is there a way to create a desktop shortcut to a remina entry? [07:38] remmina that is [07:38] elementary-site4, How big the iso? [07:38] roughly 800 mb [07:38] 883 mb to be exact [07:38] I actually had it to discard on shutdown [07:39] elementary-site4, Yeah, I would recreate the boot usb [07:39] gothmasterflash should i change that? [07:39] gothmasterflash: okay [07:39] elementary-site4, And make sure to change the reserved space to it's max [07:39] gothmasterflash could this possibly be an ueif problem? [07:39] grendal_prime: i think so [07:40] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Remmina [07:40] elementary-site4, Not likely. the image you are using should have UEFI capabilities [07:40] elementary-site4, Unless you are using an old image? [07:41] remmina -c ~/.remmina/file-name.remmina [07:41] gothmasterflash I am using the 13.04 image [07:41] elementary-site4, That should be fine. [07:41] elementary-site4, are you dual booting? [07:41] yes sir [07:41] elementary-site4, What are the installed OSes? [07:42] Windows 8 only so far [07:42] elementary-site4, Yikes. [07:42] gothmasterflash yes :'( [07:42] elementary-site4, I have had nothing but nightmares with trying to dual boot with win8 [07:42] gothmasterflash i need to keep windows 8 however to keep my warranty alive [07:42] :( [07:43] gothmasterflash did you manage to do it? [07:43] elementary-site4, You're probably breaking the warranty trying to install Linux. [07:43] elementary-site4, Yes, but not until after learning the hard way that GPT is difficult and can brick your disc [07:44] gothmasterflash ur scaring me 0.0 [07:44] curse u microsoft [07:44] T>T [07:45] elementary-site4, My warranty was voided when I installed Linux. Best Buy are nazis like that. [07:45] elementary-site4, Which is why I don't buy pre-build PCs [07:45] munz, ya that does not seem to do what i want [07:45] elementary-site4, Now I just build my own and each piece has it's own warranty [07:45] gothmasterflash if i keep the windows partitions it makes it easy to erase any evidence of linux ;3 [07:46] elementary-site4, http://apcmag.com/how-to-dual-boot-windows-8-and-linux.htm [07:46] elementary-site4, This will probably take you were you want to go [07:46] sweet! [07:46] er not.. [07:46] misread lol [07:47] I saw that guide and was confused on how to install the grub [07:47] :C [07:48] elementary-site4, The win8 tool they are showing tells you how [07:48] elementary-site4, Step Three: Chain Load Grub [07:48] elementary-site4, They are just dropping down menus [07:49] elementary-site4, Easy as windows, I guess. [07:49] that doesnt install grub however [07:49] only makes a menu for it [07:49] elementary-site4, I think you need to read it again [07:50] elementary-site4, the step one: Installation order is just telling you Windows first. [07:50] elementary-site4, And that when you install linux, be sure to make /boot partition to throw grub on [07:51] yes I understand that [07:51] which is why i said I not sure how to create partitions well [07:51] elementary-site4, The graphic interface is pretty good on that iso [07:51] I usually use the install alongside windows 8 option [07:51] and it does it for me [07:51] elementary-site4, Don't do that since you need to create a special partition [07:52] elementary-site4, Instead select the option to create your own partition [07:52] Yes and then I should create an ext4 swap and boot partition correct? [07:52] elementary-site4, How much memory do you have? [07:52] 150gb [07:53] I can allocate more though [07:53] elementary-site4, Memory, not storage [07:53] ohh [07:53] 8gb [07:53] elementary-site4, you probably don't need swap [07:53] so only ext4 and boot? [07:53] elementary-site4, first I'd create /boot [07:53] elementary-site4: You don't need a separate /boot/. [07:54] Jordan_U, He does if he wants to use the windows 8 OS loader [07:54] so I can just make one partition for boot and select install? [07:54] elementary-site4, No, you'll also need / [07:54] gothmasterflash: Your statement doesn't make sense. Please explain what you mean. [07:55] Jordan_U, If he wants to use grub boot loader, that's fine. However, he wants to avoid putting it on the MBR [07:55] Jordan_U, So that win8's boot loader can be used [07:56] meaning there will be one partiotion for /boot and one for / (main dir) :) [07:56] right ? [07:56] Jovial, That's the idea. [07:57] gothmasterflash: 1: Grub's boot sector should go in the MBR, or nowhere (if needed, a more reliable method of using a file loaded by BCD can be used) 2: Installing grub's boot sector to a partition (still not recomended) does not require a separate /boot/ partition. [07:57] xangua: How do I find the key for the repo that's failing? [07:57] gothmasterflash ohh okay I understand now. However I have never created a parition for boot before. how many space should i allocate for it? [07:57] elementary-site4: Do not create a separate /boot/ partition. [07:58] (01:33:22) ubottu: kcj just add the standard ubuntu keys: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com » reading helps [07:58] its a good practice to have a /boot partition - 300-500mb so if something go wrong you can boot somekind of recovery options in that partition :) [07:58] I have read it. [07:58] atleast that's what they say in the books :) [07:59] I must read these books. x3 [07:59] "Find the GPG keyword for the repository" the one that won't auth right? [07:59] xangua: ^ [07:59] wait jordan is saying to not create two seperate ones [07:59] elementary-site4, You may not want to create a /boot/ partition [07:59] elementary-site4, I think Jordan is correct. [08:00] I didn't come here to be patronised thanks. [08:00] elementary-site4: Also, going back to swap, do you want to be able to suspend to disk (hibernate)? [08:00] Jordan_U yes that would be very helpful sir [08:01] elementary-site4: Then you need either a swap partition or a swap file, and it should be the same size as your available RAM or larger. [08:01] Jordan_U, 0_0 [08:01] Jordan_U, You want him to create 8 gigs of swap space? [08:02] gothmasterflash: If they want to be able to suspend to disk while all 8 GiB of their available RAM is in use (for more than cache), then they will need 8 GiB of swap space to hold that data. [08:03] Jordan_U: So from what I understand I only need to create a 142 gb of ext4 / and then 8gb of swap? === Guest34123 is now known as cva === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [08:03] Jordan_U a guide i was reading earlier said to make 130 of ext4 and the rest swap [08:07] Hi all. I've installed a package (Xmonad 0.11) via "dpkg -i" and a .deb file downloaded from launchpad. Another version of that software (xmonad) was already installed (xmonad 0.10) via apt-get. I would like to go back to this previous version (xmonad 0.10). [08:07] How to? [08:08] elementary-site4: A 142 GiB root partition using ext4 and an 8 GiB swap partition makes sense, yes. Using 20 GiB for swap though is much more than needed, the only time you would need that is if you had programs allocating so much that they needed 28 GiB (highly unlikely, and would indicate something being very broken already), or if you needed to suspend to disk while programs were allocating 12 GiB, (still unlikely). [08:09] can anyone help me with some basic eigrp setup? [08:09] dissolve: eigrp? [08:09] dissolve: You're using Ubuntu for a router? [08:09] lol [08:09] Jordan_U thank you so much sir!! [08:09] no but if i ask in there the cisco guys laugh and dont answer [08:10] they are too smart to answer simple questions [08:10] <_joey> what's a good djvu plugin for chromium and firefox? Thanks!

[09:07] Lope: because you're telling it to open a terminal and run that command, it does exactly that, once the command is run, it exits [09:07] C4709: you could do that with iptables and say ulog [09:08] C4709: i think i remember something liks ddwrt or tomato having something like that [09:10] Lope: mate-terminal -e "echo hi ;cat" if mate-terminal has no "noclose" option [09:11] How to know PCIe is configured as a host or device in u-boot source code [09:11] vijaya: I have no idea what you are asking [09:16] PCIexpress either can be configured as a host or device...

[09:33] Anyone know how to add an entry to LightDM to run a VNC client? [09:34] Braggart: Searching the Internet for "lightdm vnc client" yielded this http://seb.so/vnc-from-boot-without-logging-in-ubuntu-lubuntu-xubuntu-and-mint-lmde/ [09:34] No, that's something else. [09:35] That's LightDM acting as a VNC server. [09:35] My apologies [09:35] I want to add an entry to LightDM, along side the user list, that executes a command basically. [09:36] The command being something to the tune of opening a full-screen VNC client. [09:36] Braggart: You could make a new user, and set the command as autorun for that users login [09:36] Braggart: Then when you log in as that user (you can set it without a password) it will start the VNC client [09:36] Hi all , I'm Using Ubuntu 12.04 and While access some webpage which was hosted in my VPS some time not opens and its shows some error as apache version and Ubuntu, I don't want to show that my server is using apache and Ubuntu as my operating system , how can i remove it ? Please Guide [09:38] Right, right, I vaguely remember reading something like that before. But how can I make sure nothing else loads? The user is to be just a dummy for the command, and I don't want anything else to load at all. [09:38] Braggart: or look in /usr/share/xsessions to see how sessions are created, and copy one and modify it, then you won't have to make a new user [09:38] hi [09:38] Braggart: Then you could have the fullscreen client instead of Unity, rather than on top of it [09:39] Do you know if lighdm from saucy still has XDCMP support? [09:39] nomike: Not sure, but if it does it might solve Braggart's problem as well :P [09:39] babinlonston: Try the IRC channel for Apache. [09:39] Oh? What's XDCMP? [09:39] k [09:40] nomike [cc Braggart]: Take a look here, there's an entry you have to add to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf https://wiki.ubuntu.com/xdmcp [09:40] Braggart: You don't want to use XDCMP naked over the internet [09:40] babinlonston: Apache support channel: #httpd [09:41] Rory, I know that page, but the most recent info's I could find are for 11.10. No mention about any further ubuntu releases. [09:41] Braggart: yes im there thanks mate [09:41] nomike: why don't you try enabling the option and see if it works ;) [09:41] good point. [09:41] Rory: Nah, I just have a local VM that I want someone to be able to access on my PC and nothing else. [09:42] nomike: Check the LightDM version and look it up and see if it supports XDCMP thing. [09:42] Braggart: up to you; sounds like you already have VNC all set up though so probably just go with that [09:43] Rory: Yes, that's why I'm not looking for a server. KVM VMs already broadcast VNC, I just want it to be accessible from the login screen. [09:44] Braggart: Right, so copy one of the entries in /usr/share/xsessions to /usr/share/xsessions/VNC.desktop and then modify it [09:44] Aye, be having a look at it now. [09:45] Braggart: Then you can log in to that session instead of Unity, on any user [09:45] Braggart: Although forgetting to set it back again, and accidentally logging into your VNC server will annoy you forever ;) [09:46] Braggart: Also, different users have different default sessions, so if you want to avoid the "make default or just for this sessions" dialogue you can make a new user called VNC or something [09:47] Can I haz user with option only to login with vnc.desktop? [09:47] i am using lubuntu quantal on an armhf. is there an easy way to get icedtea/openjdk installed on that? [09:47] Braggart: try giving him the shell nologin [09:48] tomboy64: That's a supported arch, so it should have dedicated repo you can apt-get install from/ [09:48] Braggart: didn't find one. only found openjdk-7 referenced - but couldn't figure out which [09:48] it isn't the "partner" repo [09:49] Then there's probably an issue. I can't say any more, perhaps you should look it up. [09:50] An issue with getting OpenJDK on armhf. [09:50] hello, where are the thinkpad keymappings stored? Suspend works but I want to set LockScreen myself ??? [09:50] ahhh, thanks for the hint with the repo, finally dug it up on launchpad. [09:51] Good luck. [09:52] Rory: What exactly do I have to modify on vnc.desktop. [09:52] Rory: What exactly do I have to modify on vnc.desktop? [09:53] By the way is there any VNC client preinstalled on Ubuntu? There should be, right?

[10:18] <_root_> and boot without it [10:18] reisio: not really, i have unlimited bandwidth but poor speed, just 1Mbps [10:19] Romance: so you want to reduce quality to make transfer time less? [10:19] reisio: exactly [10:19] Romance: what format is your stuff now? [10:19] Romance: I'd advise that it will take so long to convert the video on such a low-end machine, that the different might not be worth it [10:20] Romance: if it's one of those 128mb lowendbox openvz instances especially [10:20] reisio: err im not thinking it yet, i dont have torrent downloading atm [10:20] ah [10:20] Rory: its from host1free [10:20] Romance: You could find a lower quality torrent [10:21] well if you're talking about the kind of things I think you're talking about, they're going to tend to be more diligently transcoded than you could pull off without a lot of research [10:21] Romance: This page might help if you want to convert http://www.ubuntumanual.org/posts/327/converting-videos-in-ubuntu-using-ffmpeg-the-ultimate-free-video-converter [10:21] what you could do, though, is put a streaming media server on the box [10:21] let the network do the work [10:21] yes Romance , people who encode and release videos over bittorrent, especially well-known release groups, tend to be VERY good at getting the best possible quality out of a given size [10:22] reisio: I doubt the box has the power to convert a 1 hour video in less than an hour, which would prevent streaming [10:22] encoding time is not a concern, but 128mb ram is sufficient right to do the job? [10:22] Romance: yes but it will be very slow [10:22] you don't need to convert it, just stream it [10:23] it becomes the problem of the network device and your media player's caching ability [10:23] reisio: The entire issue is he doesn't have the bandwidth to stream, so needs to convert to a smaller file, I thought? [10:23] no he just doesn't want to wait [10:23] that is, he doesn't want to wait while it downloads from the remote server to his local box [10:23] stream it and there's no download of the whole file at once [10:23] Romance: Well, there's a few options for you been described so far. pick one and try it :) [10:23] how about split the files? would it be a better idea [10:23] you just buffer what you're about to watch [10:23] Romance: nope [10:24] Romance: That won't make a difference. 1+1=2, and 2=2, you still have to download the same amount [10:24] oh right [10:24] frdmn: Try 'dpkg -r initramfs-tools && aptitude install initramfs-tools' [10:24] <_root_> any ideas?

[10:32] hi just did a clean install of ubuntu server 12.4.3 with lvm and boot in a separate partition, install went ok but I can't boot into the system. No errors, no output just a blank screen, just wondering if there is an issue I missed and how can I go about fixing this? [10:33] How can i do that? Because it automatically log in with my user [10:33] Rory: how can i do that? Because it automatically log in with my user [10:34] WhatElse: You can boot to recovery mode, select the root shell option, and use the "adduser" command [10:35] Rory,ok, now I'll try, but I had this problem from the first time I've installed ubuntu 13.10 (fresh installation, hd was empty before) [10:36] WhatElse: It's possibly a bad .iso or a bad CD/USb burn [10:36] !md5sum | WhatElse [10:36] WhatElse: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [10:36] Rory, I've installed it more than one time, and I've checked md5 [10:37] Rory, when it was starting in recovery mode, it crashed with a kernel dump [10:37] WhatElse: I'm definitely going with a dodgy install then. Re-download, check the integrity of the .iso before you create your installation medium, then reinstall [10:38] hi just did a clean install of ubuntu server 12.4.3 with lvm and boot in a separate partition, install went ok but I can't boot into the system. No errors, no output just a blank screen, just wondering if there is an issue I missed and how can I go about fixing this?

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 ..." [10:39] WhatElse: does CTRL+ALT+F1 do nothing? [10:40] Rory, I'm not a newbie in linux world, it happens only with ubuntu, some pc, proprietary driver + arch linux everything work [10:40] i was attempting to updATE evince [10:40] ActionParsnip, nope [10:40] frdmn: Sorry, I don't get what you want to show me with the output of `dpkg -l'. [10:40] WhatElse: when you press numlock, does the light on your keyboard change? [10:40] Rory, no [10:40] Could someone help me figure out how to switch from EFI to BIOS boot? I am using Ubuntu 13.04 on a Mac and the NVIDIA drivers don't work in EFI boot mode. [10:40] WhatElse: That usually is the difference between a complete freeze-up, and something temporary... [10:41] Rory: the minute I turn on the comp it doesn't do anything, just a black screen, no grub menu, nothing. [10:41] WhatElse: have you tested RAM using Memtest86+ from Grub? [10:41] lvleph: That is entirely dependant on your machine, it will be something in your BIOS interface [10:41] hey guys, got this weird issue... [10:41] Rory, yes, as I said, sometime I can read the kernel dump of the error and it *seems* related to video driver [10:41] Rory, this is a make and there is no BIOS interface [10:41] i'm trying to change the netmask of one of my eth to /25, but it doesn't want to change from /24 [10:41] any ideas? [10:41] ActionParsnip, no, now I'll try [10:41] MAC* [10:41] peterbin: Do you even see a POST screen (not ubuntu loading, just the device itsself starting up) - can you get into a BIOS menu? [10:43] ActionParsnip, it is checking, but I don't think this is the problem, because on the same pc, archlinux and windows 8 work without problems [10:44] I've also tried latest video driver from nvidia website, and the one in repository (without results) [10:44] does apt-get keep a log of what was removed/installed? [10:44] i need to restore my system [10:44] Laurenceb: yup [10:45] in /var/log/ :p [10:45] where? [10:45] Laurenceb: /var/log/dpkg.log [10:45] ah [10:45] It must be something that happens during boot, because, if 1/10 it doesn't freeze on boot, then everything will be fine [10:45] WhatElse: It doesnt happen every time? [10:45] Rory, as I said, it happens 9/10 [10:46] Rory, every morning I boot my pc 10+ times in order to get it working [10:46] WhatElse, I was having a similar problem with an nvidia card recently. [10:46] hi, can someone suggest a screencast recorder for linux that works [10:46] makkalot: kazam [10:46] WhatElse: When you said you tried to install again 4 times, did you check the integrity of the medium? because if it was bad, you'd just be installing the bad image over and over [10:46] gothmasterflash, and? I have a gtx550 [10:46] WhatElse, I have a GTX660 [10:46] WhatElse, What I found was that my card was overclocked from the manufacturer [10:47] SimonJai, use ifconfig [10:47] WhatElse, and it was causing hell. It wouldnt over heat [10:47] WhatElse, Just lock up at boot, or randomly [10:47] popey, thanks checking [10:47] WhatElse, I flashed my bios and now I am good across all boots [10:48] Rory, the iso was ok because the MD5 match. now I'll do a dump with dd from the usb stick and check md5.. it should match, right? === root is now known as Guest99275 [10:50] Rory: fixed it, once you mentioned the splash screen, I went into the bios, apparently the boot order was disabled and the sata disk was being used for booting, weird, first time I've encountered this (old slash new comp). Once I corrected it, it now boots, thanks. [10:50] gothmasterflash, ok, I'll investigate. What is your card's manufacturer? [10:50] WhatElse, MSI [10:51] peterbin: Glad you got it working, boot order is exactly what I was going to suggest :) [10:52] WhatElse: There's an option to check integrity from the liveUSB's boot menu [10:52] gothmasterflash, mine is Zotac [10:52] Rory, ok, I'll try this [10:53] WhatElse, Can you give me the model number they sold it as? [10:53] WhatElse: You have to press a key when you see the purple boot menu with the keyboard icon at the bottom [10:55] gothmasterflash, yes, wait a sec [10:57] gothmasterflash, Zotac GTX550 Ti AMP: Edition 1GB 192 bit DDR5, PN: 288-5N194-100-ZT SN: xxxxxx [10:59] WhatElse: could edit the lightdm config file in root recovery mode so that autologin doesnt occur [11:01] WhatElse, Hmm, looks like that card is slightly overclocked by the manufacturer [11:01] WhatElse, Have you overclocked anything else on your system? [11:01] WhatElse, Like FSB or processor? [11:01] gothmasterflash, nothing [11:01] ActionParsnip, it freezes also in recovery mode, so it's difficult to adjust the config file [11:02] WhatElse, On recovery mode, did it freeze when you went to low graphics mode or even before then? [11:02] gothmasterflash, what do you suggest? I won't damage my video card just because ubuntu doesn't work :/ [11:02] gothmasterflash, before, it was booting and it crashed [11:03] my config is in /etc/network/interfaces [11:03] gothmasterflash, it doesn't reached the recovery menu and freezed [11:03] doesn't restarting network service update the netmask? [11:03] WhatElse, Well, if it's crashing before any graphics come in then it's probably not graphic card related. [11:04] if I installed Ambiance theme in usr/share/themes would it affect the original theme? [11:04] sandman13: Ubuntu already comes with Ambiance theme [11:04] sandman13: It is the default theme [11:04] gothmasterflash, I thought was a graphic problem because, If i remove "quiet" from kernel params, and I'll try yo read the kernel error, there are some "nvidia" words in the dump [11:05] WhatElse, Have you tried removing nvidia drivers and installing noveau to see if it boots? [11:05] Rory it's for xfce [11:06] sandman13, radiance for xfce? [11:07] hello [11:07] cfhowlett: are you suggesting or wondering? [11:08] sandman13, wondering? so far as I know, radiance on xfce is a no-go. [11:08] gothmasterflash, I'm using noveau now, with nvidia driver things go worse [11:08] WhatElse, I see [11:08] cfhowlett: thinking of giving ambiance a shot [11:10] WhatElse, But even with Noveau it still wont boot? [11:10] gothmasterflash, any idea? I'm in this situation from a lot of time now, this morning I get really fed up of spending half-hour every day to boot.. so I'm here :( [11:10] WhatElse, yes, this morning I tried a lot of times as usual, but it didn't start :/ [11:12] buenos días !

[12:03] gothmasterflash, there isn't any option about boot mode (legacy or uefi) in bios [12:03] WhatElse, Looks like you're stuck on UEFI. You'll need to use recovery discs to re-add your OSes to UEFI's safe boot [12:04] WhatElse, That should, hopefully fix the current issue [12:04] WhatElse, Which will then see if the bios reset fixed the other [12:04] gothmasterflash, interesting [12:04] gothmasterflash, yes, but if I'm lucky with this, I still have the other problem.

[12:08] ok. Thanks for the report, no action needed for now. Moving on. [12:08] Hello [12:08] Hello nano_ub [12:09] anyone here good with xorg? :) [12:10] nano_ub, I have managed to break it and fix it a few times [12:10] have some issue with hdmi on a hp 4510s [12:10] nano_ub, What do you need? [12:10] nano_ub, can you be more specific? [12:11] problem is, the hdmi is conencted to the tv, but dont get any picture on it [12:11] is there any graphical ssh clients in ubuntu that are similar to securecrt in windows? [12:11] nano_ub, Okay, so that could be anything. [12:11] but on the tv it says connected [12:11] nano_ub, At any point do you see a splash screen, like on boot? [12:11] and i cant find the, dual mode settings [12:12] nothing :/ [12:12] nano_ub, or is it always just blank? [12:12] nano_ub, Okay, do you have another monitor? [12:12] black, and says no signal [12:12] nano_ub, At this point you can't be sure it's the monitor [12:12] nano_ub, It could be lack of drivers, bad cables, etc [12:13] nano_ub, If you have another monitor hook that up and boot [12:13] nano_ub, Do you get the same problem? [12:13] cables works tryd it, [12:13] =[ [12:14] maybe dual mode something in xorg should be change, but i thought it was auto [12:14] nano_ub, xorg can [12:14] nano_ub, But your seeing a problem you can't address yet [12:14] nano_ub, Because without display you can't edit any xorg files [12:15] nano_ub, So we need to figure out if it's your monitor or something else. [12:15] nano_ub, The best way to do so is to go single monitor to the card [12:15] nano_ub, and see if you've got display [12:16] vga connector to a monitor works [12:17] nano_ub, How about THAT monitor? [12:17] hdmi to tv doesnt [12:17] nano_ub, even in single mode? [12:17] use a ssh server so you can change settings with the hdmi connected? [12:17] ya [12:17] nano_ub, Okay, so now we know the issue the next set is going to be checking that you have video drivers installed on your card [12:18] nano_ub, on single monitor, boot into linux then give me an lspci and post the results to pastebin [12:24] did a lcpci, and it says VGA Compatible Controller : Intel corporation mobile 4 chipset Intergrated Graphic Controller [12:24] nano_ub, okay, now do lscpi -k [12:24] nano_ub, And tell me if it's got a kernel driver [12:25] Is there a way to recover a file removed with rm? [12:27] what is the most recent gnome I can install on 12.04? I can't upgrade [12:28] Kernel driver in use: i915 [12:29] nano_ub, Okay good. What was the brandname and model of your monitor? [12:30] that 1 i connected samsung 2350 [12:30] nano_ub, I mean the one you want to use [12:30] Oh that one i want to use is a samsung 32" lcd something [12:31] nano_ub, Get the exact mode number. if we need to make an xorg config we have to include h-sync and v-sync. The wrong information can cause damage. [12:31] nano_ub: does the computer have hdmi out? [12:31] model* [12:31] ya Laptop, model name HP Probook 4510s [12:32] nano_ub: install ssh server and restart with the tv connected and ssh into it [12:32] bl4ckdu5t: sudo apt-get install extundelete [12:33] Ben64, You love suggesting that. :P [12:33] bl4ckdu5t: assuming you're one ext3/4 partition [12:33] gothmasterflash: it will help [12:33] Ben64, I agree, but my presumption is always that people don't have a second computer on hand [12:34] thats a bad presumption [12:34] i have :) but hdmi cable is not that long so :P [12:35] where is the ubuntu dev channel?

[12:56] btw, you do need to restart the ssh server for it to work on the new ip(s) [12:56] <_root_> Ben64: sudo service ssh restart? [12:56] yeah [12:57] <_root_> Ben64: is the service ssh or anything else? [12:57] yep thats the service [12:57] and you can check if its listening with nmap [12:58] <_root_> Ben64: how about nmap? [12:58] yeah, i said nmap [12:58] Hello [12:59] <_root_> Ben64: I mean how do i use nmap to find that out? [12:59] Hi there. Does anyone know why removable medias do not automount anymore in 10.04 ?

[13:11] What I need is something like, before I login using user "abc", there's already a byobu session for this user [13:11] leandrosansilva: Do you mean to automatically log in multiple users, and start them some empty byobu/screen sessions [13:11] leandrosansilva: OK [13:11] Rory: excatly [13:12] exactly :-) [13:12] leandrosansilva: Any commands in /etc/rc.local are executed on system boot [13:12] leandrosansilva: You could sudo -u username "command to start your preferred multiplexer" [13:13] Rory: leandrosansilva: above the 'exit 0' line :) [13:13] leandrosansilva: (one for each user) - if you wanted to make it one line you would do: for USER in `cat /path/to/list/of/users` ; do sudo -u $USER byobu; done [13:14] Rory: no need for sudo in rc.local, they are ran as root already [13:14] ActionPa1snip: sudo -u user [13:14] Rory: oh sorry, misread [13:14] ok, I'll try that. I've looked at tmux manual and there's nothing about that. For screen I know you can use -d -m -S options, which have that porpuse (to be ran in background) [13:14] leandrosansilva: I don't think you need to put that in rc.local because it's all background anyway [13:15] I'd like someone else to check my idea is sensible though, and will work [13:15] And by someone else I mean ActionPa1snip === nano is now known as Guest44247 === Guest44247 is now known as nano_ubu [13:18] Problem not solved :/ [13:19] hi [13:19] i hate linux [13:19] but found the log for Xorg tho, ' [13:19] ^_^ [13:19] :D [13:19] im using ubuntu 10.10 on old i686 based pc but I cant get anything done [13:19] ah [13:19] cant install irc, cant install flash [13:19] <[Gentoo]> with the unity ui?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [13:27] 10.10 is all I can get that is fine with my i686 pc [13:27] kiwiii: Consider Xubuntu or Lubuntu [13:28] kiwiii: Try Xubuntu, really, it should work just fine, maybe even better. [13:28] well that's an old machine [13:28] <[Gentoo]> kiwiii: is it i686 or before i686 like i586 [13:28] EminentDomain: yes I do [13:28] <[Gentoo]> because afaik i686 is the default 32 bit arch [13:28] cant get picture from my hdmi to the tv screen, hmdi is connected and on the tv, its says hdmi2 connected but no screen tho [13:28] rory i know what is eol, didn't expect ubuntu will become so nonchalant about old pcs which still need to run old distros [13:28] kiwiii: You can still run it, but the repositories aren't available [13:28] [Gentoo]:i686 [13:29] nano_ubu: Can you open Display Settings and see what you see? [13:29] it said on installation screen that I am running i686 cpu, cant run 12.04 [13:29] kiwiii: Third time: Try Xubuntu or Lubuntu. They will run just fine on an old PC like yours. [13:29] Hey everyone, I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 over an older install (complete wipe) and after a system update GDM went black [13:29] kiwiii, It's not that we are telling you that you can't run ubuntu if you like... just that it's going to be impossible to support. [13:29] kiwiii: Did you accidentally download the 64-bit version? [13:29] rory what is the use without repositories [13:29] Ive never had GDM do that before on this PC [13:29] only the main display, no tb [13:29] tv [13:29] Rory: i downloaded 10.10 32bit [13:29] lol someone with gentoo as nickname visiting an ubuntu chat [13:29] kiwiii, I generally find BSD and Gentoo to be good for old hardware [13:29] before I downloaded 12.064bit yes [13:30] cecilia: Visiting? [Gentoo] is very much a regular here [13:30] So I'm trying to figure out how to fix this without going back to 12.04 [13:30] gothmasterflash:my pc is pentium 4, 2800 with ht, it aint slow :< [13:30] JEHorn86: Can you try booting from an older kernel by selecting a lower-numbered version from the Grub boot menu, and see if the problem persists? [13:30] JEHorn86, did you do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [13:31] JEHorn86, I had the same issue, and I do some "/etc/init.d/lightdm restart" and some reboots [13:31] it fixed it [13:31] gothmasterflash, no way [13:31] gothmasterflash, still nothing ^^ [13:31] I logged in after the initial install and the updater came up so I ran it. After I rebooted that's when it occured. so no, I never ran dpkg directly. [13:31] kiwiii: all OSes eventually die, XP is dead on 1st April next year [13:31] JEHorn86: By the way do you actually mean GDM proper, or lightdm which is the default Dm now [13:32] G[zero]D, No way? [13:32] oh sorry, yeah lightgm [13:32] Rory: well sounds even much funnier then :D [13:32] nano_ubu, Still nothing? Have have you done? [13:32] dm [13:32] sorry lightdm [13:32] Sorry I've used Debian so long that I'm used to saying GDM or GDM3 [13:33] JEHorn86: You could try switching to another console (Ctrl Alt F1) and running sudo service lightdm restart, see what you see [13:33] Rory: if i download the 32bit version of 12.04 will it work on my Pentium 4 CPU? [13:33] kiwiii: Yes [13:33] kiwiii, yes [13:34] ok good thanks [13:34] i will return to slate linux a bit later [13:35] gothmasterflash, i upgraded everything, but there is no xorg file for me to check, so i cant do so much more [13:35] but i have a log tho from xorg [13:35] <[Gentoo]> nano_ubu: what are you tryiing to do [13:36] nano_ubu, are you booted into graphics? [13:36] nano_ubu, I could be as simple as going to settings, Displays, and turning the monitor on [13:36] gothmasterflash, I unable to connect the server to internet through ssh resevse tunneling [13:36] ya but no settings there [13:36] only main display [13:37] nano_ubu, Well, you can try defining the second monitor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:37] nano_ubu, But lots of warnings.... [13:37] [Gentoo], im trying to use hdmi on my laptop to the tv, but no picture [13:37] nano_ubu, You'll want to be comfortable with the command line in case it breaks [13:38] <[Gentoo]> nano_ubu: ah ok no idea [13:38] <[Gentoo]> im still on a vga lol [13:38] nano_ubu, and you'll have to get the right h-sync and v-sync for your monitor [13:38] nano_ubu, Or you can break it [13:38] ya [13:38] gothmasterflash: I doubt that actually, the monitor probably just won't display it, it's not like the bad old days. HDMI is cleverer than VGA to a CRT [13:39] <_KaszpiR_> hi [13:39] _KaszpiR_: Hello [13:39] Rory, Probably right, but I remember breaking monitors myself. Now I never take the chance. [13:39] <_KaszpiR_> got problem with AMD/ATI 8730M with installed latest AMD beta driver [13:39] <_KaszpiR_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6473839/ [13:39] nano_ubu, Okay, so you'll need to write an xorg.conf [13:39] <_KaszpiR_> this is error when running gnome-session [13:39] <_KaszpiR_> now I'm sitting on xfce4 [13:40] <_KaszpiR_> trying to solve this [13:40] nano_ubu, if you booted up to a blank screen, would you know how to get to command line and erase it? [13:40] <[Gentoo]> xorg --configure will give you a load of bloat but you can use it as a template [13:40] <_KaszpiR_> the laptop I have uses integrated intel video card and also has discrete mobile card from amd [13:41] <_KaszpiR_> ubuntu 13.10 [13:41] ok ive checked the log searched for hdmi, and found.. Output HDMI1 has no monitor section [13:41] heya guys, is there a difference between java jdk for ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server? [13:42] <[Gentoo]> meh33: why wouild there be [13:42] <[Gentoo]> same package [13:42] nano_ubu, Right, we need to define the monitor in xorg [13:42] [Gentoo], im just trying to make sure, following a guide for ubuntu desktop to install java jdk from source [13:42] nano_ubu, xorg --configure will give you a template to work with [13:43] <[Gentoo]> meh33: they will all be the same thing [13:43] nano_ubu, Once you have that, we can add another monitor section to it and define your HDMI display [13:43] <[Gentoo]> meh33: on a server you might want to look out for deps [13:43] <[Gentoo]> but thats it [13:45] I'm a Linux noob, trying to chmod my /var/www so that I can save doc edits from Bluefish. Can't get "sudo chmod -R 666 /var/www " to work. [13:45] ChaosZen: Why not, what happens? [13:45] gothmasterflash, Samsung UE32D4004BW [13:45] [Gentoo], thanks for the info dude [13:46] nano_ubu, That's the monitor model? [13:46] ya [13:46] ChaosZen: you want to set x-permission on dirs [13:46] nano_ubu, ok, and did you generate an xorg file? [13:46] !permissions | ChaosZen [13:46] ChaosZen: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [13:46] that part i dont know how to ^ [13:46] ^^ [13:46] nano_ubu, We've told you twice [13:46] nano_ubu, xorg --configure [13:47] brb :D [13:47] helloo any ideas why tmpfs /tmp would slow down after a while even if i have enough memory(32gb total, 6gb for /tmp) [13:47] <[Gentoo]> nano_ubu: 1366x768 on that 32" will look terrible for PC use [13:47] it gets spammed with tiny files for gigabytes [13:47] at some 2gb it slows waaay down [13:47] ok, nevermind then. Must have been momentary bug. Tried again to see the error message and it worked this time. [13:47] Hello. I'm having an issue with someone being able to send spam from my server. I suspect the problem is a php-script, but I'm unsure as to how to find out. Could someone point me to where to look? [13:47] doesnt work [13:48] who [13:48] command not found [13:48] [Gentoo], I dont know I am using a similar screen and it looks fine to me [13:49] Repox: If you look in the mail headers do you see a header similar to x-script [13:49] [Gentoo], only 720p on the tv so [13:49] nano_ubu, Try xorg -configure [13:49] nano_ubu, I might have put too man - in there. [13:49] Hey, is it possible to run a command for an x session from outside of said session? [13:49] i did command not found' [13:49] hello [13:49] ciao [13:49] Rory: I'm not where I can see the mail headers - I'm not recieving the mails myself. [13:50] Repox: They're being sent from your server; what MTA are you using? [13:50] Earlier I tried to chmod via terminal and even typing exactly like the ubuntu site explained to use chmod, it would display the syntax and say --help for details. [13:50] cd mp3 [13:50] ChaosZen: Sounds like you made a typo [13:50] Rory: I'm unsure, but I belieive it's Postfix? [13:51] nano_ubu, how about sudo X -configure [13:51] ? [13:51] I've got synergy running to share my mouse/keyboard with my xbmc server but it takes focus from XBMC when I leave that screen, which causes screen tear, so I wanted to run a cron job to use wmctrl to bring the XBMC window to the front [13:51] Then I started Bluefish using sudo bluefish from term to work around. Then chmod exactly the same way and this time it worked. [13:51] im in su [13:51] nano_ubu, Okay, then don't use the sudo part [13:51] nano_ubu, just the X -configure [13:52] brb [13:53] Repox: There's instructions here on how to log mail sent through PHP's mail() function [13:53] Repox: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-log-emails-sent-with-phps-mail-function-to-detect-form-spam [13:53] Rory: Thank you.

[15:17] Rory, that's what i already did and it's not working thvm-tools [15:17] Quest: thats not the error, that just says there was an error. it should be a few lines above that [15:17] hitsujiTMO, no. and I did rm tthat === BurritoBazooka is now known as Burritoh [15:17] sudo ./configure gives command not found [15:18] hitsujiTMO, theres was no error else where [15:18] trying to compile the node binaries [15:18] (nodejs) [15:19] hitsujiTMO, now after the rm, I dont see my apps in package manager [15:19] haev installed build-essential openssl libssl-dev pkg-config checkinstall [15:20] uh [15:20] wheres the help channel [15:20] !details | garshasp [15:20] garshasp: 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 ..." [15:20] garshasp: This is the official Ubuntu help channel right here. [15:20] garshasp you've come to the right place [15:21] im running 12.04.3 and it keeps freezing on me [15:21] im thinking of arnold's pizza shop now [15:21] 32-bit [15:21] garshasp, When does it freeze? At boot? After an hour? [15:21] it freezes after boot [15:21] any idea why i cannot sudo ./configure [15:22] randomly [15:22] garshasp, So, you can log in and it freezes [15:22] Richhh: you shouldn't be doing "sudo ./configure" [15:22] thats correct [15:22] garshasp, Are you overclocking anything? [15:22] i cant ./configure either [15:22] chicognu: there seems to be entries for different kernels in your grub.cfg. was there already a /boot in the pendrive? [15:22] gothmasterflash, everything is stock [15:24] ikonia how can i compile the untarred binaries then [15:24] something to do with compiz? [15:24] Richhh: you don't use sudo to do that [15:25] hitsujiTMO: look what i think it is happining i use luks to protect / and leave boot with out encrypt. I think my kernel is no reconize /dev/sda2 as a encrypted file system, because of this it don't prompt me for a password. what do you think ? [15:25] garshasp, Maybe. what graphics card are you using? [15:26] garshasp try a different DE, to know if it still freezes [15:26] hang on consulting the brochure [15:27] chicognu: it is set to load the the / from a wrapper, but what worries me is the entries for a 3.2 and 3.8 kernel. as if there was already a kernel and grub present on the pendrive before you tried to install and never formatted it [15:27] chicognu: s/wrapper/mapper [15:27] garshasp, For an issue like that my troubleshooting would be -use a different DE, if that fails find a different video card driver, if that fails, check your hardware with an other OS, if it's fine in another OS, try resetting bios [15:28] hitsujiTMO, my packages are gone [15:28] gothmasterflash, i have to use this version basically [15:28] i dont even know what a de is [15:28] garshasp, Why? [15:28] garshasp, Desktop Enviroment [15:28] oh [15:28] garshasp, So if you are using unity, try Gnome or KDE [15:28] would that be under settings? [15:28] in fact i don't format it before install but thouse kernels arent the default ? [15:29] in fact i don't format it before install but thouse kernels arent the default anywhay hitsujiTMO [15:29] garshasp, That would be under "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop" [15:29] :D [15:29] quest: i suggest a reinstall. I asked you for some info a while ago, and asked you not to delete that file. however since you insist on not doing what i ask, then I cannot help you further on this issue [15:29] ok [15:29] hitsujiTMO, it was an accident [15:30] gothmasterflash, have you found that gnome de works better for these issues? [15:30] garshasp, It's my go to, but I am strange [15:30] garshasp, Most people hate gnome [15:30] I have deleted some apt/cache/linux-image 4334 sometihing 64.deb and my packages are gone. is there a way to fix it? [15:31] I don't hate Gnome, I just don't agree with their direction. [15:31] garshasp, but the point isn't which DE is better, just as a test to see if your issue is something related to Unity or not [15:31] And the fact they ballsed up Nautilus. [15:31] chicognu: it generated the grub.cfg based on info of other things present in /boot so the initramfs or anything could be completely misconfigure. i suggest a reinstall but make sure you format /boot this time [15:31] gothmasterflash, whats your prediction based on past reports? [15:32] garshasp, My prediction is that you're going to end up resetting bios [15:32] gothmasterflash, is that difficult? [15:32] garshasp, but you'll want to take every option first [15:32] garshasp, Depends on your computer and if they used UEFI [15:32] oh dear === LoganG is now known as LoganG|off [15:33] gothmasterflash, have you heard about this problem with the 12.04 build? [15:33] garshasp, I have had this problem. [15:34] gothmasterflash, so you had to reset the bios lol [15:34] garshasp, Yes. [15:34] gothmasterflash, :( [15:35] hitsujiTMO: ok, i will do that but i need to know if my proceed has correct. I boot using livecd, creat swap and / on the hdd, format / with luks, creat a ect.4 fs on it, open the luks and map it to /dev/mapper/something and install / in /dev/map/something and boot on my pendrive (without format.) If i redo it again, formating /boot things will work just fine ? [15:35] garshasp, I got an MSI branded nvidia GTX660 [15:35] garshasp, and suddenly I started random freezing. tried everything [15:35] garshasp, Then I found out the manufacturer overclocked the card [15:36] garshasp, which didn't play well with my system [15:36] garshasp, reset bios, and then I was set. [15:36] chicognu: yes that does seem to be fine, [15:36] I have deleted some apt/cache/linux-image 4334 sometihing 64.deb and my packages are gone. is there a way to fix it? [15:37] hitsujiTMO: ok thank you [15:37] Hi - we need some help as our Postfix server does not send nor receives email since our lastest 10.04.4 update. All emails are queue with "Connection timed out" message. What can we do? [15:37] Rory: are you here by any chance?

[15:41] I have deleted some apt/cache/linux-image 4334 sometihing 64.deb and my packages are gone. is there a way to fix it? [15:41] joshhunt, ^ [15:41] Actually isn't 3.12 out for saucy and trusty now? [15:41] gothmasterflash, de change might work, can i switch to 2d from the settings? [15:41] Looks like it: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [15:41] JoshStrobl: no, thats the mainline kernel [15:42] @ikonia: Aaand the problem with running mainline is..what exactly? [15:42] at numerous times, first at $60, most recently and foolishly at 865 [15:42] ok. what exact should i apt-get install ? [15:42] JoshStrobl: it's not patched for ubuntu as the ubuntu kernels [15:42] JoshStrobl: hence "mainline" [15:42] "patched" [15:42] rather than "ubuntu" [15:43] hi [15:43] /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.8.0-33-generic_3.8.0-33.48_amd64.deb [15:43] subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 [15:43] xbuntu..

[15:46] zorlak_, we have help in other languages if you are having issues getting the idea across? [15:47] ikonia, what can i do now? [15:47] !es | zorlak_ [15:47] zorlak_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [15:47] Quest: did you try to install packages from anther release ? [15:47] Help needed with 10.04.4 Postfix please [15:47] @mregg: #ubuntu-server [15:48] JoshStrobl: thanks, I tried, but it's not active [15:48] yes [15:48] ikonia, no i gues [15:48] Quest: then why are the packages for a later version than 12.10 [15:49] Quest: did you use a PPA or an external repo ? [15:49] ikonia, really dont know [15:49] ppa. yes [15:49] Quest: come on !!! [15:49] Quest: Do you want us to guess? [15:50] Quest: I told you earlier, "this doesn't look like it's coming from the default repos" you said "it is" [15:50] * JoshStrobl facepalms [15:50] Pici, ikonia i can show you the info I can fetch but I dont know what happened. iam no expert [15:50] Quest: you activly told me the wrong information and said it was coming from the default repos [15:50] Quest: re-install your server with the right version you want [15:50] Quest: don't use PPAs and pay attention to th software you installing [15:51] ikonia, i dont know what ppa might be the "new repo thing" [15:51] ikonia, i should remove ppa? [15:51] Quest: even then it's not the default - I asked you and you said "default" [15:51] Quest: re-install your OS with the version you want to use [15:51] Quest: the install the right software using only the core ubuntu repos, no 3rd parties, no PPA's [15:51] ikonia, can reinstall. wil break alot [15:51] Quest: it's alrady broken [15:51] ikonia, broken things are ought to be fixed. arnt they? :) [15:52] Considering you're the one that broke it. [15:52] Quest: yes by people who can manage a machine properly and give clear information [15:52] Quest: the easiest / quickest solution would be to install using a supported version of ubuntu with the apcakges you want [15:52] Quest: http://www.ubuntu.com/download [15:52] Quest: that way you use only the core ubuntu repos - no external sources [15:52] ikonia, how about a dist upgrade? [15:52] Don't get stuff from PPAs then say you're pulling from the official repos. [15:53] Quest: it won't do anything [15:53] Quest: Really, re-install. [15:53] Quest: you've messed up your package system good, a re-install with the correct ubuntu version would be the quickest and best option fo ryou [15:53] wont it upgrade to new linux image? [15:53] No === moo is now known as Guest47401 [15:53] Reinstall. [15:53] ikonia, I have a lot of configs, databases, etc. [15:53] Quest: back them up [15:54] anyone can help me out with installing java jkd by any chance? after installing it and run 'java -version' i get this error: bash: /usr/bin/java: cannot execute binary file [15:54] ok [15:56] how come scponly was removed from the repos? [15:56] @meh33 Where did you install it from? [15:56] Dat, scp is in the repo's, and installed standard. [15:57] OerHeks: this is true but I was refering to scponly [15:57] I have tried to install lububtu-desktop but it requires that i have zram-config installed. zram doesn't seem to want to install on ubuntu 13.10. If anyone could / will help that would be much appreciated. Here is the output. http://pastebin.com/ebDkYwYv [15:57] JoshStrobl, i followed the simplest how to i could find, from here http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-JDK-on-Ubuntu-Linux [15:58] @meh33 Follow the directions at http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html [15:59] JoshStrobl, hmm that link doesnt open for me [16:00] Dat oh, no typo. scponly it was removed after Lucid > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scponly/+publishinghistory [16:00] @meh33 It's working for me. [16:00] @OerHeks Mind checking the link? [16:00] OerHeks: was it deleted because it was bad or unstable? [16:01] Otherwise I'll have an issue trying to keep a chroot with scp [16:01] ikonia, joshhunt the do-release-upgrade tool auto deleted the ppa and started downloading apps. i hope it will make things better? [16:01] JoshStrobl, it worked after multiple refreshes, thanks [16:01] Dat, i was looking for the reason, cannot find any. [16:02] JoshStrobl, ^ [16:02] @meh33 No problem bud, have a good one :) [16:02] hrmm maybe I should install it from the source then [16:02] OerHeks: do you know of any other alternative to chroot scp/sftp users? [16:02] @ikonia We tell the guy to simply re-install and nada, le sigh... [16:02] Quest: what part of "that will not work" have I not made clear [16:03] Quest: you ask "will it work" I saw %100 no, you do it anyway - this is why your machine is broken [16:03] Maybe he secretly wants a broken machine... [16:03] hm [16:03] ikonia, so if i just remove ppa and update . will that be ok? [16:03] Quest: NO !!!! [16:04] Quest: why can you not understand this "no" [16:04] * JoshStrobl facepalms [16:04] Quest: I've said 5 times now "no" [16:04] ikonia, is there any way i can fix the system without a reinstall? [16:04] What the **** do you not get by NO === root____1 is now known as YouDontKnowMe [16:04] NO MEANS NO [16:04] JoshStrobl: easy on the language please [16:04] @ikonia I said ****, as in the * 4 times. [16:04] JoshStrobl, so its not fixable by ANY means. thats hard to digest [16:04] Quest: the "best" way for you to get a working machine will be 1.) find an ubuntu release with the package you want - probably 13.04 or 13.10, then install that version [16:04] speaking of linux atleast. [16:04] @ikonia It wasn't some curse word that was auto removed ;) [16:04] Quest: it is fixable, but being honest, it's not fixable for you [16:04] Hi, ubuntu be trollin, I'm trying to figure out why my system is messed up. I had to boot into recovery mode and drop into shell... [16:05] @YouDontKnowMe Recovery mode drops into shell. [16:05] Quest: so the best thing to do is pick a later ubuntu version that has the packages you want as part of it's core repo - then install that [16:05] JoshStrobl: it implied a curse is ikonias point [16:05] @YouDontKnowMe It's not like Windows where you'll get put into a GUI with admin rights. [16:05] When I boot, it spits some text on the screen and then acts like its about to load the graphics whatcha call it, and then goes back to text, and then goes back to a black screen with my mouse and repeats [16:06] !details | YouDontKnowMe [16:06] YouDontKnowMe: 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 ..." [16:06] @YouDontKnowMe What were you doing prior to the restart? [16:07] JoshStrobl: I was clickin hella links in my chrome browser and then I restarted the next day and now it keeps going back an forth between text and my mouse cursor [16:07] I don't think this is the ubuntu virus but it could be [16:07] No [16:07] What were you doing aside from using Chrome? [16:07] Hello can someone help me set up ssh? [16:08] as a Tunnel proxy? [16:08] I think my lil bro was playing hella ram intensive games on chrome, when i was sleeping === Guest72379 is now known as kronos_ === kronos_ is now known as kronos__ [16:09] That wouldn't have caused it to crash and give you the issues you're having. Did you install any packages aside from Chrome before letting your little bro play? [16:09] Sometimes changes those packages have won't be applied until reboot. [16:09] how to run 3 commands in one line so that each runs after the first had finished. (each uses sudo)? [16:09] mregg: Hi, was in a meeting, do you still need me specifically? [16:09] Quest: what commands are you trying to run ? [16:09] I don't think so, the reason i restarted is becaues it was hella laggy [16:10] Quest: Put && in between them [16:10] genial, sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && echo 1 ? [16:10] Quest: Put && between them if you need to ensure each one completes sucesfully before the next. If you don't care if it was sucesfull or not, use ; instead of && [16:10] genii, ^ [16:10] Quest: why are you running update ?? [16:10] Quest: it WILL NOT WORK [16:10] Quest: it will make things WORSE [16:10] *sigh* [16:11] Quest: When you deviate from instructions, it makes no one want to help you. [16:11] Quest: do you understand the words I'm saying to you "it will not work to try to update/upgrade" ? [16:11] JoshStrobl: Any ideas? This is confusing [16:11] genii, I understand but I reinstalling is the last resort for me [16:11] Quest, no, you don't [16:11] Quest: blindly typing commands is not a better option [16:12] there comes a point where *ignore* is the appropriate response... just saying.... [16:12] @YouDontKnowMe Do you mind rebooting the system and seeing if you have any options for other Linux kernel versions? [16:12] if its fixable, I need to fix [16:12] It may be an issue with a specific kernel version. [16:12] Quest: typing commands blind is not a fix [16:12] Though doubtful. [16:12] Quest: I'm giving you a proper solution for now AND for the long temr [16:12] temr [16:12] term even [16:12] It may be that I havent restarted since the first time i installed ubuntu [16:12] @Quest It is NOT fixable. [16:13] Your FIX is to REINSTALL. [16:13] I ran updates on meh system I thinks [16:13] ah [16:13] Yea, I'd suggest rebooting and seeing if there is an option in your GRUB boot menu to switch to a different kernel version :) [16:13] Hopefully there is and it'll resolve the issue! [16:13] JoshStrobl: you talking to me? [16:13] Yes [16:14] okay yeah ill try that [16:14] Thankyou so much you are hella help [16:14] @YouDontKnowMe Don't thank me unless it works. [16:14] ;) [16:14] ikonia, ok.. what solution? [16:14] @Quest Re-install. Re-install. Re-install. (chants like Ballmer) [16:14] k [16:15] Obviously make sure your stuff is backed up. [16:15] reinstall [16:15] reinstall: command not found [16:15] ... [16:15] Quest: backup your data and configs, pick an ubuntu version that has the package versions you want in the core repos, install the new version, replace your backup date [16:15] just kdding [16:15] Yea, just going to ignore you @Quest [16:15] data [16:15] !zram | Kaffien [16:15] Kaffien: zRAM is a module of the Linux kernel which increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM, useful on systems with less RAM, and SSDs. Install zram-config to enable zRAM. [16:15] i know what it is [16:16] it just doesnt want to install / config .... but the point is moot now. thanks for your help [16:16] Sorry Kaffien I thought that would have more info than it did [16:16] hehe .... I didn't realise that lubuntu is an action distro as well. [16:17] an action distro? [16:17] Hi! please help.... how to install theme to Ubuntu from gnome look? i'm only start learn linux systems [16:17] what is the reigning champion desktop these days? [16:17] actual rather [16:17] Sorry, this keyboard is horrible. [16:17] thai-2012: what theme¿ [16:17] Kaffien, probably unity due to most people not caring enough to put something else on there. [16:18] Kaffien, Windows of course [16:18] other than unity. I'm using this one a vm so less graphic intensive the better. [16:18] don't you dare say console [16:18] @Kaffien MATE, Cinnamon, Pantheon. [16:18] lol [16:18] Kaffien: try xubuntu or lubuntu then [16:19] @Kaffien: Pantheon from elementaryos.org, MATE and Cinnamon from linuxmint.com [16:19] xangua i wanna theme "windows style" to my Ubuntu. but i don't know how to install. there is download button. it downloading archive. what next? [16:19] @thai-2012 Link to the theme please. [16:19] thai-2012: is this a gtk theme¿ if it is, it is a gtk3 theme¿ [16:20] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta+%28LiNsta+is+Not+Vista+%3B-%29+Pack?content=41090 this link. it downloading archive only [16:20] @Kaffien If I were you, I'd run MATE with Linux Mint. [16:20] ahhh it's been a while since i used mint. [16:20] I think i'll give that a go [16:20] thai-2012: I really doubt that will work now... it would have worked in 2006 when Ubuntu used Gnome 2 [16:20] Oh man, 2006 LOL [16:20] Takes me back :') [16:21] Half tempted to check out gentoo if it still exists. [16:21] now that i have a slightly more powerful machine than a p3-800 hehehehe [16:21] thai-2012: put the theme folders in the ~/.themes directory [16:21] ok. anyone give me a link please to to theme, which will work in 12 04? [16:22] thai-2012: then you should be able to see the theme in your theme manager [16:22] hi all, i am using ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS and i am having a weird problem, my USB 3g wireless modem gets detected automatically, after a minute, and connects, but the problem is that sometimes when connection dialing fails (due to server load or whatever ), it gets disappeared from the list, network menu>MObile broadband gets disappear from the list and i had to re insert modem again and wait for a minute to get it detected and try dialing again. why this is happ [16:22] thai-2012: I personally prefer the Webupd8 themes PPA https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/themes [16:22] !ppa [16:22] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [16:22] hitsujiTMO Thank you. but where is themes directory? [16:23] hitsujiTMO: it is a hidden directory (starts with a dot) in your home directory [16:23] thai-2012: ^ [16:23] thai-2012: ahh wait that's a metacity theme. thats not gonna work on unity [16:23] @thai ~/ is your home directory, so it'd be /home/yourname. .theme is a hidden directory. [16:23] thanks) [16:23] JoshStrobl: This is still giving me trouble [16:23] @YouDontKnowMe When you rebooted, did it give you other Linux kernel versions to pick from? [16:24] No [16:24] For some reason, its switching between my mouse cursor, and text on the screen when i try to boot. [16:24] How do I check/downgrade kernel versions? [16:25] i need to solve that problem, because in windows, when connection to internet fails, i can just retry untill i get connected, how to acheive the same in linux, it is weird to reinsert modem again and wait more than a minute for redialing [16:26] @YouDontKnowMe Let's try and see if it is a dependency issue. Boot it into shell (try CTRL + ALT + F1, sometimes that works). [16:26] sometimes due to server load, dialing fails and i need to redial, but i can dial only once in linux, if it fails, it gets out of the list [16:26] kkkkkkk, how do you do your insertion ? [16:26] @YouDontKnowMe Then try: sudo apt-get update (it'll update your apt cache) [16:27] I've tried to boot into shell (by using f2 instead of f1) and it gives me a chance to login but then it switches back to the mouse and text [16:27] brb im going to try to update [16:28] tavarish: it is a USB modem, i just insert it in USB port, wait for some time to initilize, click on the connection name MObile broadband, it gets connected. that's it. but when dialing fails, mobile broadband gets disappeared from the list , just like modem is being discarded and i need to re-insert the modem again in USB port [16:28] USB 3G wireless modem [16:29] Good afternoon all [16:30] kkkkkkk, I will say nothing, otherwise the 'buntu community here will ban me [16:30] i can't help you, sorry [16:30] hi, since today Im unable to login via IMAP , Im using courier-imap and Im on 10.04 , any ideas? [16:30] tavarish: you can say privately [16:30] getting a touchscreen to work on Ubuntu(studio) 13.10 and xinput-calibrator says I should add lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf [16:30] but my system doesn't have xorg.conf.d [16:31] do I create it or should I add the lines to a different file? [16:31] it won't help you, because it's a useless information to solve your problem, but a usefull one to explain why it will be difficult to solve it [16:32] Siya: you can just "sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" then create your file there [16:32] Siya: the alternative is to use xorg.conf but that's quasi-deprecated at this point [16:33] It's best to have it in xorg.conf.d/ anyways, since that is all user-defined and you don't risk messing with xorg.conf [16:33] Hi I need help reinstalling/repairing grub. Idk where the problem lies. [16:33] fisherjohn: you're using mint - not ubuntu [16:33] fisherjohn: this channel doesn't support mint [16:33] hello [16:34] tavarish: how to provide more information, lsusb detects it properly, mode-switch is working properly, but if dial fails , then it is out of the list, i mean unable to dial, that's it.

[16:35] I did update and upgrade afterwards === Guest27840 is now known as NotAGuest [16:35] thai-2012: create it [16:35] with upstart, how do I force it to start a process which it thinks is already running [16:35] @thai-2012 "cd ~/ && mkdir .themes" [16:35] salve ragazzi [16:36] kkkkkkk, what does dmesg tell you when it happens? [16:36] JoshStrob THANK YOU :) [16:36] Is there anyone who can help? When I boot, my screen hops from spitting out text output like "checking battery state" to the mouse cursor in front of a black screen, and it just hops back and forth [16:37] NotAGuest: what did you recently change? [16:37] Is there a way I can see from what repository a specific version of a package was installed? [16:37] tavarish: i never used dmesg and what to tell from dmesg command output, let me read log properly [16:37] with apt [16:37] @NotAGuest: Not entirely sure what the issue is then. It could possibly be a driver issue, since it doesn't seem to be a kernel issue (since you had no prior Linux kernel), nor a Chrome issue, or a dependency issue. [16:37] daftykins: Nothing that I know of [16:37] wow. Now i have Themes folder:) Thank you))) [16:37] JoshStrobl: sidenote, you don't need to use @ people will be highlighted if you include their nick (see "/msg ubottu tab") - this isn't twitter ;) [16:37] But I haven't restarted in a while [16:37] kkkkkkk, maybe you will have information about what happen [16:37] @zykotick9 I use it because smuxi has it for smart-tabbing. [16:37] NotAGuest: so you've done some upgrades, on which release? [16:38] daftykins: 13.10 [16:38] JoshStrobl: i see... lame... [16:38] @zykotick9 Not really. [16:38] NotAGuest: have you had it installed long enough that you have much on it? [16:38] Yes I have all my work files on it [16:39] i want ask again. Now i download tar Gz archive. I must unpack it and then put to themes folder? Or no [16:39] @daftykins Not a kernel issue or broken deps it seems. Maybe an issue with an open source driver? [16:39] Oh and sometimes I see something like "broken pipe" [16:39] thai you could gunzip it right into .themes [16:40] thanks [16:40] I installed the lubuntu environment btw [16:40] JoshStrobl: oh have you been assisting here already? sorry [16:40] @daftykins You're apologizing because you're helping someone out as well? You're strange :D [16:41] * NotAGuest whistles [16:41] @NotAGuest Did you do that before or after the issues? [16:41] Before... [16:41] ... [16:41] And you didn't tell me? [16:41] le sigh [16:41] Well, I mean I did it like 2 weeks ago [16:41] When I reinstalled ubuntu on my system [16:41] NotAGuest: use a console to log in (ctrl+alt+f1), then "ls -al .Xauthority" who owns that file? [fyi alt+f7 to return to where gui, is suppose to be] [16:41] i unzip theme to themes folder. but there is nothing. maybe i download wrong theme... oh. [16:42] but I dont recall restarting since then [16:42] Certainly sounds like lubuntu's deps broke your system then. [16:42] and suddenly the mystery turned another corner... [16:42] I've used lubuntu for weeks though [16:42] @daftykins What would life be without mystery and surprises, eh? [16:42] without it doing this since I installed [16:42] thai-2012: upon relooking at that theme, its a metacity theme ( gnome2 theme engine ) so will not work fully with unity/gnome3 [16:43] :D [16:43] zykotick9: one moment [16:43] I can't alt-left/right it isnt working :P [16:43] so i need to exit irssi to check [16:43] brb [16:43] hitsujiTMO: what category (left pane) i must choose in gnome look? GTK? Gnomw or what? [16:44] @hitsujiTMO He should be able to use GTK+ 3 themes right? [16:44] thai-2012: gnome-shell [16:44] ok [16:45] Okay so...it seems I cant log into my account and im stuck in root and there is no .Xauthority [16:45] JoshStrobl: yes, that theme will most likely come with gtl2 + gtk3 + metacity parts. its the metacity part that will fail [16:45] NotAGuest: you should not be able to login as root [16:45] ikonia: +1 [16:45] s/sgl2/gtk2 [16:45] ikonia: I did this from recovery [16:45] ahh ok, so from a recovery console [16:46] Yeah its the only way I can get access to the internets :P [16:46] @hitsujiTMO Noted for future reference :) Thanks. [16:46] NotAGuest: recovery mode does not have internet access [16:46] ikonia: ahhh, those little details - i had no idea either ;) [16:46] it's "single user" [16:46] or at least should be [16:46] ikonia: You can enable networking [16:47] I don't have a usb or cd so its not like i can reinstall it [16:47] I could iso-boot me thinks, but i hate the fact that im losing all my files... [16:47] NotAGuest: where is the normal account breaking? can you get to a vt with ( ctrl + alt + f1 ) [16:48] Nope [16:48] ..... [16:48] NotAGuest: what is happening then? [16:48] Nothing [16:49] when i alt-left and do ctrl+alt+f1 it switches back to here [16:49] NotAGuest: not even dropping to initramfs? no splash? nothing? [16:49] Nothing is happening [16:50] NotAGuest: can you try and boot with noquiet nosplash [16:50] hitsujiTMO: I forgot how to add those options [16:50] put them at the end of the grub command? [16:50] teamviewer is installed on ubuntu 12.04. most times it works great. but sometimes when i attempt to connect the windows will open and the remote desktop loads almost completely then freezes. I ssh into the machine, and kill the TV process and restart it. Nothing. Leave it running and type 'teamvierwer --daemon restart" and it's still "frozen" and other attempts to connect hang. The only way to resolve the issue is to reboot.

[16:55] NotAGuest: did you at least see an error this time? [16:56] hitsujiTMO: I didnt see any kind of error, just a bunch of text on the screen for a little while and then it kept doing what its been doing. [16:58] can you try and somehow pastebin /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/dmesg.0 [16:58] hitsujiTMO: I don't know how i could [16:58] NotAGuest: actually. can you try the kernel option: text [16:58] What should i be looking for in those files?

After updating to 13.10 I lost networking entirely. Not even a link light on the NIC. Tried another NIC (diff chipset) and a USB NIC and all have the same problem. Been googling for a few days with no luck, so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. [17:09] hitsujiTMO: I tried what you said, and it brought me to a login prompt, so i logged int and then it spit out a bunch of text like ls command not found and similar stuff (commands that were not found) then it logged me out [17:10] AnarchE: bad cable? checked connection on router / switch? [17:11] ActionPa1snip: Replaced the cable, tried a different port on the switch too [17:11] NotAGuest: hmm. interesting. have you modified /etc/profile or ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc? [17:11] ActionPa1snip: Verified the port and cable work with another PC as well.

[17:38] NotAGuest: actually, you probably cant see that link. its should contain exactly: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" [17:38] suuash1629: if you've installed stuff from 3rd party repos that created conflicts, you should be able to manage your dependencies and know whats changing [17:39] okay ill look at it [17:39] ikonia, what do you mean? i didn't understand.. [17:39] hi, how can i make dnsmasq dns service doesn interfere with my pc dns [17:40] suuash1629: I mean if you're using PPA's that create package conflicts, you should know / understand how to mange them without breaking things, knowing what they are changing and without blindly doing upgrades === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [17:41] i'm trying to make an ubuntu mirror , but when dnsmasq is on with archive.ububntu.ccom pointing to my server , on my server I cant access to real archive [17:42] i have not installed anything eles than libgl1-mesa-dri, which made the conflicts, just after that, it caused the problem [17:42] neyder: if you using your own mirror then just change the sources.list to point to you server [17:42] hello [17:42] suuash1629: right, so that backs up what I said [17:43] hey guys [17:43] hitsujiTMO, It's "NotAGuest" [17:43] Thank you, you helped me fix it.

[18:01] hi [18:01] suuash1629: which Ubuntu version are you using? [18:02] did anybody know, how to measure: when i read sometginf from file - how much is taken from memory (cached), and how much is real from hdd ? [18:02] or if tools like iostat, iotop show just real hdd acces (i dont think...), or hdd+mem [18:02] Lenn1e: depends on too many factors [18:02] Lenn1e: those tools show actual disk IO, not cache IO. [18:03] hmm [18:03] if so, its good. [18:06] Walex, i m using ubuntu 12.04.3, and i cant find which version of X should i use or anything else, the only problem now is not working mouse, while installing mesa some packages were removed and i think mouse driver was too removed, dont know exactly whats hapening. === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [18:07] suuash1629, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all [18:08] suuash1629: you should use the 'x-swat' PPA and choose the packages ending in 'lts-raring'... [18:08] suuash1629: most likely some packages were removed because you half-updated the server side stuff. [18:09] How can I determine what version of Cinnamon I am using?

[18:10] (friends using) [18:11] i guess awful was the wrong word, it's just very cluttered I suppose [18:12] ptyyy: yes, more concise :) [18:12] Hi guys, trying to do a merge, made all necessary changes, debuild -S 'd it and tested the build itself in pbuilder. How do I check it installs, I've forgotten? [18:12] Trudko: in general it works out of the box if you choose peripherals known to work... It is impossible to make every possible buggy peripheral work in advance. === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [18:13] Trudko: but the Webcam freezing could simply be too little power being available to it, it is a classic symptom.

[18:24] garshasp: installing or downloading, which is taking a long time? [18:24] Hello there. I just tried to update, but I got: "E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found." What can I do to fix this? === sage11 is now known as Oda_Wizjin [18:24] i cant even tell tbh [18:25] i did sudo apt-get blahblah [18:25] ok it finally did it [18:25] When logging in, click the little icon next to you name, select unity 2d, that should speed things up a little, you can also research alternative desktop environments. For older computers I like to use something called LXDE [18:25] Mojo_Jojo, yeah man, im in 2d [18:25] i had to figure that one out, but yeah, that helps tremendously [18:26] how do I get a live cd with kernel 3.12 ?

But when I do that dmesg says "zswap: deflate compressor not available" and send me back to the default lzo compressor. Is this a bug or a feature, and where should this be reported to?

[19:06] alright, thanks [19:07] inside ubuntu, of course [19:07] Hello [19:07] I have a situation with my Ubuntu [19:08] !details | FourFire [19:08] FourFire: 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 ..." [19:08] lol [19:08] I have the following equipment: Laptop with an Ubuntu installed hard drive unencrypted file system, bootable USB [19:09] , external usb to SATA III cable/adapter [19:09] ur0pl, usb-creater is installed standard, should work fine [19:09] Old hard drive with Ubuntu, encrypted filesystem [19:09] now [19:09] Thunderbird Question: How do I view messages that have been archived? [19:10] I've switched the old hard drive for the new one (laptop) [19:10] and installed the Ubuntu I'm currently using on it [19:10] Hey I want to play tf2 on ubuntu but I have a intel graphics hd 4000 and from what I have found they don't have a version I can use on 13.10 and when I play tf2 without it it's laggy and unplayable is there anything I can do to make it playable? [19:10] I need my files on this drive [19:10] how do I #1 boot of the old drive externally [19:11] #2 unencrypt/move files into this drive without booting from the old one [19:11] ubuntu 13.10, i keep getting a message that says "The update information is outdated. This may be caused by a repository that is no longer available." Is there a command i can run to see if any repos are failing? [19:11] Hello, I am having some difficulty configuring my pulseaudio settings. I would surely appreciate a little help or advice on this. I am running Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 on a Toshiba Satellite X205-S9800. Alsa is configured, and my soundcard is alc268. I have pretty decent sound however I would like to configure pulseaudio for 5.1 surround and to enable the built in subwoofer. I have altered the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to reflect 6 channels etc, but I find mys [19:11] elf lost when it comes to reflecting these changes in the pulseaudio manager. Thanks [19:11] FourFire, fastest way is to put the old drive back in, and do a backup [19:11] I also have the minor annoyance the since installing the new drive I can't boot directly but have to boot menu and select the installed drive manually [19:12] I recently did an upgrade and /dev/null is getting set to mode 0600 on every boot, any ideas? [19:12] FourFire, should think about that before doing a hdd swap [19:13] nafg nice troll, keep it up ! [19:13] otherwise it just goes to grup rescue and says "can't find device " [19:13] grub* === P4tt3rn_ is now known as P4tt3rn [19:14] All ubuntu versions are 12.04 [19:14] nafg: what was upgraded? was it packages from a PPA or main repo?

[19:14] I assume the letters are the ID of my old drive [19:15] hitsujiTMO: sudo do-release-upgrade [19:15] the drive I'm switching because it was poorly formatted and had upwards of 50 bad sectors according to S.M.A.R.T. [19:15] FourFire, good idea [19:15] nafg: ahh. did you have any ppas prior to the release-upgrade? [19:15] xangua: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6475338/ [19:15] (so I couldn't resize partitions before remapping bad sectors) [19:15] xangua: i guess i see it now, thanks :) [19:16] I don't want to backup the drive directly because the partitions are really ****ed up === Black is now known as Guest93820 [19:17] FourFire: image the drive an work the backup from that [19:17] Does anyone know where to find the transmission config file? Everything I find online TALKS about editing the config file, and all the settings therin, but no one talks about where to locate the config file. [19:18] fishcooker: look in /etc/transmission* maybe [19:18] fishscene: ~/.config/transmission/settings.json [19:18] what is the transmission file for ? [19:19] glitsj16: Thanks! chro: So I can modify the username/password to log in to the webclient. It seems it has locked me out… [19:19] oh transmission the bit torrent client [19:19] lol yes. Sorry for not being specific :P [19:20] fishscene: no /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json for the webinterface [19:20] I'll check out both. Also, where did you guys find this information? the Transmission wiki was 100% useless [19:21] fishscene: tou must stop the transmission-daemon service before making any edits [19:21] you* [19:21] hitsujiTMO: not sure, maybe I have a 3rd party postgres (csg) for historical reasons [19:21] hitsujiTMO: It's a rackspace cloud server [19:21] fishscene: just by browsing around your filesystem, nothing secretive [19:21] well I'm copying the files from the unencrypted and messed up old windows partitions in the mean time [19:22] glitsj16: That can take a while as I'm SSH'd into Ubuntu Server. >.> [19:22] which means I can feel free to format those partitions and maybe make the next bit easier [19:22] Either that, or my unfamiliarity with the filesystem is to blame here. [19:22] hitsujiTMO: I have done some commands which I was told to do earlier [19:22] fishscene: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigFiles === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [19:23] this resulted in some text file with all my installed packages (on the old drive) to be created (on the old drive and thus encrypted from here) [19:23] is that what you mean hitsujiTMO [19:24] is there any way I can boot from my old drive, via USB? [19:25] we've got 24 minutes before my 38 GB of files is transferred (at 22MB/s) [19:26] nafg: nah i doubt such a ppa would cause the issue. what may have happened is that something may have created a file there before /dev filesystem was mounted in which case you could try deleteing the file and rebooting [19:26] hi I want to know how to format a hard drive or sd card so all data is permanently lost? I hard I could use dd what is the exact command? [19:27] I heard I could use dd command but I don't remember the exact line [19:28] hey guys+gals, so, strange question, is there anyway to do a 'dry-run' with dhcp ?! as in, see what a dhcp server would offer without changing the ip? [19:28] FourFire: what i mean that since there are so many physical errors then any access to the drive could cause more errors ( from a failing hdd head ) so the best thing to do is image the drive ( dd the file hdd to a file ) and then use that image in a virtual machine to perform the backup [19:28] xangua: ok so the package that fails is obviously java6, but how can i see the name of the ppa that is causing the trouble? [19:28] xangua: in other words, what is the command to remove that ppaq [19:28] ppa* [19:30] Atero, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX [19:30] nafg: actually can you tell me the output of: ls -l /dev/null after boot [19:30] gr33n7007h: thanks friend [19:31] i've installed open-vm-tools on a ubuntu guest , but still i can't paste from host into guest , any idea what's wrong / [19:31] I will do it now is great [19:31] f00bar80, what VM are you using [19:32] chro, vmware workstation 9.0 [19:32] have you tried to ask in #vmware [19:34] but hitsujiTMO I'm using it right now! copying 38GB of files from it onto this drive [19:34] it was using it as my only system drive the day before yesterday [19:35] I just want to deal with this and hide it in my cupboard ASAP so it doesn't become a problem [19:36] FourFire: i'm just gonna warn you at this point that using such a drive in such a manner ( even as read only ) has potential to cause further damage ( not saying it is going to happen, just may happen ) you should always image a dodgy drive and work from that image instead [19:36] the smart status was green, apart from a failed read selftest and ~ 58 bad blocks [19:36] jhutchins_wk, does that work if the service is on 127.0.0.1? masquerading seem to be mostly for machines on the same network === kevin is now known as Guest77711 [19:37] 58 bad blacks is a lot [19:37] hitsujiTMO: so how do I image the drive? [19:37] * FourFire hasn't done any of this before [19:38] x? [19:38] :) [19:39] oh cool you can VM an... of Course you can :D [19:40] FourFire: the simplest thing to do is to dd the the drive ( dd if=/dev/sdX of=~/backup.img bs=1048576 ) but of course you have to be absolutely careful that you correctly specify the drive as the input file and not the output file. then you can mount that image in a virtual machine or dd it to a working drive [19:41] hitsujiTMO: Probably ddrescue if it has bad blocks [19:41] sex [19:42] sdX is my old drive which I'm copying, correct? [19:42] leno: You are not in the correct channel for that. [19:42] leno, No command 'sex' found, but there are 24 similar ones [19:42] !behelpful | geekmasterflash [19:42] geekmasterflash: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [19:42] leno, make sex and learn linux [19:42] what is 'bs=1048576' for? does it change if I mention that my partition is 32 GB in size? [19:43] Really IdleOne ? [19:43] * geekmasterflash sighs [19:43] geekmasterflash: yes, really. [19:44] FourFire, that's block size if im not mistaken, it means your partition is devided into chunks of that size, I'm no expert in the matter though [19:44] FourFire: yes its the sdX is the old drive . bs is blocksize. its just a buffer size of the amount of data it reads before writing to the destination [19:45] you know I just recently noticed that my clickpad works! [19:45] FourFire: blocksize. You can also state it by 'bs=10M', for example [19:45] it's amazing, I no longer Need an external mouse in order to use my operating system [19:45] ezra-s: FourFire the bs argument to dd just specifies how much data is copied at once [19:45] To all intents and purposes it doesn't matter what you put [19:46] Rory, so it was about dd, sorry about my intrusion, thanks for the explanation :) [19:46] FourFire: and ofc, sdX should not be mounted as you're performing the image [19:46] PDilyard: I doubt you installed something from that repository so you can just remove it in Sotware Center>Edit>Sources [19:46] the BS should for optimal performance fit within my drives cache [19:46] is that correct? [19:47] bs [19:47] xangua: thank you! [19:48] ezra-s: hitsujiTMO explained it while my incredibly slow Internet was sending my message [19:48] FourFire: as rory said it doesnt really matter about the size of the bs. you can omit it and it will do just fine. the only time you really need to specify it is when dealing with SSDs or you're attempting to copy a specific amount of info or from a specific location [19:49] FourFire: no, not necessarily correct. Usually, if a device is known to be faster is writing with a specific blocksize, google will show in a search [19:49] hitsujiTMO: thanks for telling me, I might have imaged while it was mounted [19:49] exactly FourFire for example to make a gigabyte of zeroes you do "dd if=/dev/zero of=zero.bin bs=1M count=1024" [19:50] FourFire: this is important: *never* 'dd' with output to a mounted filesystem. Corruption is almost certain [19:50] to the same FS you mean? [19:50] (meaning output to the /dev/) [19:51] reisio: don't dd to /dev/sda2 while a filesystem on /dev/sda2 is mounted. === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [19:55] good day everyone [19:55] o/ [19:55] hai2u [19:56] I was hoping someone may have advice [19:56] rottinrob_, On?

[20:17] geekmasterflash, lscpi -k returns something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6475634/ [20:18] " don't dd to /dev/sda2 while a filesystem on /dev/sda2 is mounted." ok now I'm confused [20:18] jhutchins_wk: The fact that a live CD doesn't work either is baffling. I feel like it has to be an APCI issue but it hasn't been. [20:18] fourefire: df -h will tell you what's mounted. you can't dd a live drive. [20:19] FourFire: So you'll have to umount then dd [20:19] I have the following setup: dev/sda (current, new disk) dev/sdb (old filesystem, Ubuntu partition is sdb5 I think?) [20:20] does that mean I should copy sdb5 to sdb2 ? [20:20] and then run That file [20:20] hola [20:20] suyash1629, Kernel modules: radeon [20:20] or do I copy it onto sda?

[20:22] FourFire: or you can dd a single partition with : dd if=/dev/sdb5 of=~/backup.sdb5.img [20:22] suyash1629, No I am wrong [20:22] suyash1629, That is the open source driver. [20:22] FourFire: i'd use absolute paths when dealing with dd === troy__ is now known as Troy^ [20:23] geekmasterflash, so, xserver-xorg-video-ati is working?

[20:27] I'll try sudo === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [20:27] suyash1629, Are you sure that your issue isn't that intel card? [20:27] suyash1629, which one is being used? [20:27] FourFire: sorry use sudo. /dev/sdb5 is only readable by root [20:27] I sudoed and stuff is happening [20:28] what does "sudo" stand for? I backronymed "Super User Direct order" [20:28] geekmasterflash, its a hp paviliion g6 laptop and has two cards pre-installed, i don't know which is used a default.. [20:28] sudo = super user do [20:28] if i do: X -configure [20:29] geekmasterflash, in windows both were used as needed. [20:29] give me some abord terminal [20:29] and save the fine in /home/user === b0xa is now known as b0x [20:29] but is incomplet [20:29] suyash1629, egrep -i " connected|card detect|primary dev" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:30] do mounts made in dolphin automatically unmount after a set time if unused? is there a timer setting in a conf file?

[20:32] geekmasterflash, so what should i do? [20:32] just installed 12.04 along side osx 10.9 on 2010 macbook pro now i get grey screen when trying to use osx [20:32] suyash1629, If you're having graphics problems, it's going to be with the card in use. In this case the intel card. Reinstall it's drivers would be the first suggestion [20:33] guest324: I would imagine not. That would be a terrible set up [20:33] Guest41284: You're at the EFI screen are you trying do a Ubuntu only machine? [20:34] geekmasterflash, because i didn't install this, came preinstalled when i install ubuntu. how can i reinstall it? [20:34] along side osx 10.9 [20:34] wheatthin: I take this is in reference to Guest41284? [20:34] yup [20:35] wheatthin: Alright cool. [20:35] zzxc: no i want dual boot [20:35] Guest41284: How did you partition the new drive, and what do you get if you hold option while booting? [20:36] Guest41284: Sorry new partition* [20:36] zzxc: in osx i allocated 40 gigs free space [20:36] sorry, it keeps crashing because of malfunction in nouveau [20:37] hi everybody, nouveau is giving me some serioous grief on 13.10 at 64bit .... the system crashes very often ..... this is the dmesg with the errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/6465235/ [20:37] Is it possible to convert an ubuntu install to lubuntu?

This is what I got with mplayer http://pastebin.com/6bg16bMS [20:37] suyash1629, I don't really know much about intel cards. Sorry. [20:37] sovern: yeah, install lubuntu desktop and bam! [20:37] thanks a lot geekmasterflash for ur time.. [20:37] Guest41284: How did you resize it? And what format is the Ubuntu install in? [20:37] sovern, install lubuntu-desktop [20:38] bazhang: apt-get install lubuntu-desktop? [20:38] sovern: Yeah removing ubuntu's cruf is a but more diffecult though. [20:38] sovern bazhang: yep [20:38] zzxc: i get the option to selecy osx huh thanks [20:39] I just downloaded and burned ubuntu-13.10-desktop-i386.iso but my 32-bit laptop doesn't seem to want to boot it [20:39] Guest41284: Alright cool. If you're going to multiple boot your mac with something beside windows you might want to check out rEFInd. [20:39] zzxc: how do a get a slicker selector setup so it defaults to osx and not efi [20:39] Guest41284: Haha see above. [20:39] opening it in windows explorer I can see all the files so looks like it burned ok [20:40] One sec I need to see if it finished building yet. [20:40] i searched thie net but didnt find satisfying results on askubunut.net : is kubuntu and installing KDE on ubuntu the same thing ??? please tell me :P #noob [20:41] adamVOGES: yes [20:41] can someone tell me on how to reinstall intel graphic card? [20:41] jiffe99: if it's very old it might not work, newer ubuntus need PAE [20:41] Alright, so I need to do some testing so I might have a slower response time. [20:41] Ben64: its only about 5 years old [20:41] jiffe99, Are you familiar with the per-session boot? [20:41] jiffe99: you'd have to look up the cpu and see if it supports PAE [20:42] my husband's computer is getting an error - Software Updater [20:42] , [20:42] Failed to download repository information, [20:42] Check your Internet connection [20:42] chalcedony: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:43] chalcedony, this a straight to the server no proxies..etc [20:43] my drive stopped whirring now [20:43] Beldar, yes his box, router, dsl [20:43] Guest41284: OSX's EFI manager will hang for 30 seconds while it waits to see if there are any HFS(+) paritions. And I don't think it will even recongize ubunutu. [20:43] chalcedony, no ftp...etc [20:43] Beldar, no [20:44] chalcedony, You might change the server in software sources just to check. [20:44] where i can get more info about Xorg configuration on ubuntu? [20:44] Guest41284: When I first installed ubuntu on a mac I did it though the bootcamp set up. It seemed to play work alright for the most part with that. [20:44] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [20:44] Beldar, do you mind elaborating some? not sure i remember how to do that? [20:45] Anuska: Yep beat me to it. [20:45] chalcedony, are you able to post your /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin? [20:45] chalcedony: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list on his machine? [20:45] Ben64: I'm not seeing PAE listed, there a way to tell from within ubuntu? [20:45] hitsujiTMO, TGiFallen_ ok moment :) [20:45] jiffe99: you said it won't boot... [20:46] can anyone please tell me how to reinstall the intel graphic drivers? [20:46] my X running witout gdm , kdm , xdm [20:46] how i stop the X? [20:46] suyash1629: its built into the kernel, you can't "reinstall" the intel driver [20:46] Anuska, you are looking for lightdm [20:46] Ben64: I have ubuntu 11.10 on it right now [20:46] chalcedony, ubuntu softwrae center-edit-preferences-software source first tab I believe [20:47] it just doesn't boot the install cd for ubuntu 13.10 [20:47] zzxc: refit vs refind? [20:47] jiffe99: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pae [20:47] Ben64, the driver is not working properly.. so i wanted to reinstall it [20:47] wow tgm4883, have other namepff [20:47] !work | suyash1629 [20:47] suyash1629: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [20:47] Anuska, nope [20:48] chalcedony, I'm on trusty and the software center is not letting me open the software sources, so I can't give you the exact everything. [20:48] tgm4883, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6475781/ [20:48] Beldar, ok he's on 13.04 [20:48] chalcedony, same thing [20:48] pae is listed under flags when I cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pae [20:48] Anuska, I'm not sure what you are trying to do [20:49] i try X -configure [20:49] jiffe99: are you installing from cd or usb? [20:49] Ben64, i mean it sometimes give errors and also while booting i get white screen [20:49] to create xorg.conf becouse is not on /etc/X11 [20:49] to configure videocard [20:49] ok [20:49] Anuska, I was just responding to you about stopping X regarding gdm, kdm, etc. gdm was replaced by lightdm in Ubuntu awhile ago [20:49] I honestly have no idea how to use VirtualBox to open this file [20:49] chalcedony, basically in software sources you have a button to look at all the possible servers like main or one closer to you or the fastest ping to choose from. [20:50] hitsujiTMO: I burned it to a dvd [20:50] Beldar, ah yeah [20:50] chalcedony, Cool, sounds like you remember now. [20:50] jiffe99: did you verify the dvd and did you md5sum the iso? [20:51] hitsujiTMO: do I need to add a virtual or physical hard disk to the VM? [20:51] FourFire: since you've just dd'd the lvm you should be able to mount that with loop [20:51] Beldar, sortof kindof - let me pastebin this [20:52] hitsujiTMO: I have no idea how to do that, could you give me a command? [20:52] jiffe99: if you computer has no pae support either install xubuntu or lubuntu wich uses non-pae kernel [20:53] xangua: it does have PAE [20:53] xangua: it didn't when I tried it [20:53] MD5 sum looks good [20:53] chalcedony, just run software-properties-gtk then ubuntu software-download from [20:53] are there any good free kubuntu/linux e-books available? [20:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6475801/ lowe graphic mode??? [20:53] I have some 32-bit non-PAE kit and I needed to install the mini iso [20:53] low [20:53] guest324: ebooks about what? [20:54] FourFire: unfortunately i'm not familiar with dealing with encrypted partitions. what type of encrytion did you use? luks? [20:54] gordonjcp, about linux basics, libraries, grub, etc. [20:54] hitsujiTMO: I don't know whatever is default on Ubuntu probably [20:54] guest324: yeah, head over to tldp.org [20:55] guest324: all kinds of stuff there, not all of which massively up-to-date but still worth a read [20:55] FourFire: ok, try this first: sudo apt-get install cryptsetup lvm2 [20:55] I can't use VirtualBox? [20:55] hello [20:55] (I just installed it) [20:55] gordonjcp, great, thanks, i think this is along the lines of what i'm seeking [20:56] guest324: don't forget the Ubuntu wiki [20:56] alright, I'll do that [20:56] http://pastebin.com/r3Nnkw3z tgm4883 Beldar - it looks like he has some odd things [20:56] FourFire: not for the lvm on its own. this should hopefully be simplerish [20:57] chalcedony, hmm ok, can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update"? That should show us which one is having the error [20:57] I have installled autofs and configured it to automount my cifs share, however when autofs daemon is running I cannot manualy mount hard drives from file explorer ( i am getting permission denied ) could some one help to resolve this ? [20:58] gordonjcp, is there book-like documentation on the wiki or is it mainly encyclopedic [20:58] FourFire: once thats installed: sudo modprobe dm-crypt && sudo cryptsetup luksOpen ~/backup.sdb5.img backup [20:58] hitsujiTMO: done [20:58] chalcedony, That is the sources.list we want to change the server it calls to for those. just run software-properties-gtk then ubuntu software-download from [20:58] chnage then server called to [20:59] !manual | guest324 [20:59] guest324: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[21:07] wafflejockTablet: Nope, it's a standard CD, 700 MB [21:07] Beldar, pastebin the whole of the update upgrade? [21:07] chalcedony, yeah including the comands you can use that command as is. [21:07] Guest63672: using a minimal CD? [21:07] FourFire: ok. i'm wondering if the image was the root partition and not the lvm. can you try: sudo mount -o loop $HOME/backup.sdb5.img [21:07] Minimal?

[21:11] Ubuntu 13.04 on the HDD, and i want to install Windows XP [21:12] ok I did the second thing [21:12] it's newline [21:12] FourFire: check in /mnt [21:12] Guest63672, Ubuntu is not the booting problem, and this is a windows issue go to ##windows, the XP install will wipe ubuntu. [21:13] how do I check exactly? [21:13] is it a folder in HOME ? [21:13] FourFire: not thats a folder in root [21:13] Beldar: Yeah, but since im using a single boot (Ubuntu) i should get the support till the moment where i don't have ONLY that OS installed? [21:13] Guest63672, Not a ubuntu issue. [21:13] mnt is folder with things inside it [21:14] FourFire: no* ... FourFire thats the backup image so. [21:14] it's in "root" or "behind" HOME [21:14] Not an Ubuntu issue, but there's not much to do from the Windows side.. [21:14] Beldar: Okay... [21:14] uff [21:14] Guest63672, The problem is not ubuntu related is all it is booting a XP iso. ;) [21:14] er cd [21:14] * FourFire isn't very familiar with file systems, they are currently more of a GUI guy [21:15] FourFire: as in in nautilus goto "Computer" thats the root directory. and then open mnt folder [21:15] ( . ) ( . ) [21:15] yeah I'm in mnt folder now [21:15] FourFire: whats in there? [21:15] it's "higher up" than HOME, not inside it [21:15] "bin" "boot" "cdrom" [21:15] lots of linuxy folders [21:15] Beldar: Okay, i thought there are people here that are willing to help, and not making formal statements about what is *Ubuntu related problem* and what [21:16] is not [21:16] but nevermind [21:16] FourDollars: thats your old hdd image then. so /mnt/home should contain your old /home directory [21:16] mnt/home has two broken shortcuts :( [21:16] Guest63672, Fair assessment if it was a ubuntu issue. [21:17] Guest63672, This is the official ubuntu support channel. Beldar is right, if it's not a Ubuntu issue, it can't really be supported here [21:17] FourFire: what do you mean? [21:17] FourFire: can you pastebin the output of: ls -l /mnt/home [21:17] Guest63672: I joined late. What was the problem? [21:18] He wants to install Windows XP and he thinks that ubuntu broke his CDROM drive [21:18] would not matter at boot [21:19] gareim: I am trying to boot Windows XP PRO SP3, from the CD-ROM. I am using Ubuntu 13.04. The CD-ROM won't boot, and it won't even play any kind of CD and stuff [21:19] hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/5kLVq8L6 [21:19] Guest63672: yeah CDROM is likely broke [21:19] Guest63672: sounds like a question for ##windows [21:19] p0wn3d: I am actually using Linux distros for a while, and i'm not a n00b, as you're thinking. [21:19] Yeah, booting from CD has nothing to do with Ubuntu since Ubuntu doesn't even load at that point [21:19] Really people here will help on Ubuntu issues where they can [21:20] We can't fix your CDROM though [21:20] Guest63672, I would just check the per-session boot option is all, they should know what that is in ##windows. [21:20] Yeah, i know, i just came here to see if someone has an idea of what the problem could be. [21:20] FourFire: and does /mnt/home/[user] propperly contain you old data? [21:21] just two broken links [21:21] nope [21:21] Guest63672 sounds like you have set the SATA controller to AHCI or linux, xp needs ide-mode [21:21] they ask to be deleted when I click on them [21:21] shortcuts* [21:21] Guest63672, some of are on ##windos as well. [21:21] Try testing the CD by booting it in a VM. If it works there, it's not your CD. If it doesn't, it's your CD [21:21] FourFire: can you pastebin: ls -la /mnt/home/[user] [21:22] Guest63672: best u can do is check cables and your bios settings or do a grub boot from iso but it may get hairy [21:22] FourFire: i wonder did you have an encrypted home folder too [21:22] Guest63672: When you insert a CD into this system while running Ubuntu, the CD should mount automatically and be avaialble in Nautilus.

[21:24] !root | January [21:24] January: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:25] I agree - thanks :-) [21:25] Heh like the spoon reference [21:25] FourFire: ok, can you run this: sudo ecryptfs-recover-private [21:25] bbl [21:25] What is the abbreviation for the *cd-rom file* under /dev?

I am using ver 10LTS because ver 12LTS HIDES all the power tools and geek goodies *SIGH* - Is there an Q&D way to expose a menu of geek tools in 12LTS?

[21:43] yeah that's like the command I input to get the file [21:44] docdtv, I don't follow. What exactly is Ubuntu hiding?

[21:48] hitsujiTMO sorry I /msg you accidently, thanks for your help [21:48] becouse i add Modes "1280x1024" [21:48] So I take it that doing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop" will ALSO USURP initialization of Unity, right? [21:49] docdtv, It will install gdm, which you can select as your primary Desktop Manager. From there when the system boots you will be give the option of unity or gnome [21:49] FourFire: personally i'd not use that file as a source directly. it will certainly contain packages that you don't want, like old kernels [21:49] docdtv, If you remove unity [21:49] docdtv, then it will just be gnome [21:50] chalcedony, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | pastebinit [21:50] hitsujiTMO: what should I do short of manually going through the file and installing every single "good" package by hand ? [21:50] Ok, I will accept the two-desktop option for now, Maybe some friends will be using Unity [21:50] can I go through the file and eliminate all the "bad" packages? [21:50] Beldar, lol ok that might work better, thank you :) [21:50] FourFire: can you pastebin the file and i'll see how it was generated [21:50] Many thanks for such friendly and expert help GMF - you're the best! :) [21:51] WiGust: Chromium is all open source.

I've been struggling with deleting a single file and whoever I ask has never seen something like this before. I'm root, but still can't delete this file: http://pastebin.com/qwQLyWtW [21:55] I'v found a "network installer" for ubuntu 13.10, and I'm considering using it as my bios doesn't seem to detect my usb devices; is there any important difference with a classical liveUSB installation? [21:55] Ilmen, check that fastboot is disabled [21:56] I didn't found any such option in my bios [21:56] (I tried to disable secure boot, but to no avail) [21:57] NeoID, is the drive encrypted? [21:57] geekmasterflash, no [21:57] NeoID, have you tried to chmod the file? [21:57] it's a raid6 configuration [21:57] xorg is so fuck [21:57] Ilmen, Are you not seeing it in the bios or it does not boot? [21:57] FourFire: can you run this: dpkg --get-selections | awk '{ print $1 }' > ~/newlist.txt and then can you pastebin that too [21:57] wafflejockTablet: no thanks, just my curiosity :) i don't use its [21:57] why ubuntu deleted xorg.conf from /etc/X11 [21:57] geekmasterflash, yes, but I only get permission denied [21:57] !language | Anuska [21:57] Anuska: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [21:58] Anuska: Please don't swear in this channel [21:58] Beldar: I don't see it at all [21:58] NeoID, is your desktop Unity, Gnome, Kde.... [21:58] geekmasterflash, none, ubuntu server [21:58] NeoID, Can you see who owns the file? [21:58] i add xorg.conf on /et/X11 and give me the graphic is low [21:58] Ilmen, Any other usb's to test with? [21:59] geekmasterflash, that's the strange part.. it's owned by "964858371", but I only have one user on the system [21:59] WiGust: It would be hard to get malciuous code in. They do make things like disabling third party cookies harder, but I haven't seen what article you're talking about. Got a link?

Taishou.a - Higurashi.mp3/ads [22:01] NeoID: ok, u means undeletable [22:01] NeoID, I sometimes get this problem when a file is in use [22:02] chalcedony, Not sure what to say, this is really basic stuff to get this command to a pastebin, once again we are getting slowed down on just basic fact finding, not even a solution. [22:02] zzxc: yeah, but only on russian http://habrahabr.ru/post/101396/ [22:02] hello. I want to install developers version of xubuntu 14.04 and I found the ISO with "trusty-desktop-i386" which should be developers version of xubuntu 14.04 but after installation it looks like ubuntu 13.04 - salamander... It should be like that, or I have to install developers version from some other ISO? [22:02] geirha, possible to remove the U somehow? I've rebooted the server multiple times, so the file should not be in use [22:02] NeoID: chattr -u [22:02] Beldar: I'm not sure to understand the question; my internal hdd has windows 8, and I have an image of ububtu on an external hdd [22:02] it's just an mp3-file.. but strange is that the file system suddently thinks it's a directory [22:03] *ubuntu [22:03] Ilmen, An image being a ISO or full install? [22:03] hmm, tried dvd and sd card, won't boot the ubuntu install from either [22:03] geirha, that didn't doo much... no erros, but still: -u-D--d-c----e- 13.

[22:04] zykotick9: unetbootin [22:04] jiffe99: ok. [22:04] hitsujiTMO, let me try from his box [22:04] Ilmen, On a HD not a flash usb, in gneral we see this method fail often is all. [22:04] WiGust: Thats cool I know a bit a Russian [22:04] NeoID, Are you using some kind of Active Directory/Samba? [22:05] geekmasterflash, I'm using samba [22:05] well, the ubuntu is on a flash usb actually; but the computer of my brother (windows 7) does detect it [22:05] @Beldar [22:05] hitsujiTMO, 8 received, 0% packet loss, time 7004ms [22:05] - to paste.ubuntu.com via ssh [22:05] NeoID, Anyone currently listening to music?

However my "assumption" is that the bios would show it for a per-session to work [22:07] chalcedony Beldar ahh its not piping to pastebinit because its failing at apt-get update and your using the guard operator &&. [22:08] What is compiz and why is it prone to failure? [22:08] Beldar: Windows 8 itself does detect the flash usb but not the bios [22:08] chalcedony: try: sudo apt-get update | pastebinit [22:08] NeoID, anything if you try lsof? === home is now known as Mongo44 [22:08] geekmasterflash, nope, no output [22:09] home: compiz is the 3d/eyecandy window manager, that makes unity possible... it's always had stability issues...

[22:10] geekmasterflash, http://pastebin.com/ZSe41WCx === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [22:10] hitsujiTMO, I wondered about that mine worked but only the last what's available, however all I ever wanted was a updat upgrade to a pastebin, the user could not access the software sources to begin with this is at the least an hour into a simple fact finding effort, rather disconcerting in the end. [22:11] NeoID: Hm. the u flag causes it to be undeletable, but why you can't remove that flag, I'm not sure. I don't use extended attributes much. Maybe the parent directory has some attributes too? [22:11] How many OS'es can be run on one computer? [22:11] hitsujiTMO, Help them please. ;) [22:11] geirha, I've tried to change that flag on every parent dir, but no changes are working [22:11] Mongo44: 88.3 [22:11] Mongo44: As many as you have space for [22:11] seems like the file is just a shadow/damaged [22:11] WiGust: Hey So I read though it. [22:12] NeoID: What does lsattr on the parent dir say? [22:12] Beldar: given that problem i'd still see the issue as being in the sources [22:12] NeoID, it looks like it's a symbolic link, Neo. [22:12] geekmasterflash, it should be/was always a file :S [22:12] NeoID, but other than that that strace doesnt tell me anything I know how to read [22:12] hitsujiTMO, Did you see the sources.list post? [22:12] geirha, -------------e- backup/homes [22:12] Beldar: no i'll look up [22:12] Is Debian better than Ubuntu? [22:12] NeoID, I'd recommend showing it to someone that knows more than me [22:12] Nobody has any idea about my printer issue? Im sure its something simple im missing as a nooB. I ran this guide: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/hp_setup.html yet hp setup is not detecting a printer via USB. [22:13] hitsujiTMO, They directed it at me, just one 3rd party. [22:13] could be the issue [22:13] NeoID: and lsattr 'backup/homes/13. Taishou.a - Higurashi.mp3/' ? [22:13] Mongo44: is Red better than Blue? [22:13] geekmasterflash, I've shown the problem to a whole bunch of people who claim to know a lot about ubuntu, still no one figured it out :p [22:13] but thanks for your help :) [22:13] Hi, somebody can help me setting up the POSTFIX [22:14] intersec: where are u stuck also does your ISP allow port 25 traffic? [22:14] intersec: Depends on the question. [22:14] If it has the immutable flag (i) set, then that would explain why you couldn't remove the u flag on the ads file within it [22:14] WiGust: My russian is a little bit rough but He refenced a Library that isn't included, and simply pointed to chorium connecting to google.ru as proof of phoning home. Which it could be, but more likely its a plugin connecting. [22:14] geirha, that gives me: ---D--d-c----e- /mnt/volume/backup/homes/Maki/Music/Musikk desktop/Ny cd/13. Taishou.a - Higurashi.mp3/ads [22:15] the first problem is i never did it [22:15] Beldar: the pastebin is expired. [22:15] Why did the ISS choose to switch to Debian? [22:15] chalcedony: can you please again pastebin the file /etc/apt/sources.list [22:15] NeoID: wait, the u flag is gone now. Try removing it [22:16] Mongo44: try #ubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu is support only [22:16] geirha, rm: cannot remove `ads': Permission denied [22:17] NeoID: ok, back to what I asked before then, lsattr '/mnt/volume/backup/homes/Maki/Music/Musikk desktop/Ny cd/13. Taishou.a - Higurashi.mp3/' # the parent of ads [22:17] NeoID: Sudo !! [22:17] zzxc__, He's in su [22:18] NeoID: Ignore me! [22:18] geirha, running that gives me: "---D--d-c----e- /mnt/volume/backup/homes/Maki/Music/Musikk desktop/Ny cd/13. Taishou.a - Higurashi.mp3/ads" [22:18] but still I can't delete it [22:18] chalcedony: can can you also run: sudo apt-get update &> ~/update.txt you'll then be able to pastebin the update.txt file in the home directory [22:18] I'm heading home. Have a good one guys. [22:19] anyone with experience installing 12.04 on mbps? getting a hanging black screen whenever I try and 'install ubuntu' or 'try ubuntu w/o installing' [22:19] there a way to tell if a dvd is bootable from within ubuntu? [22:19] Mongo44: try #winehq for wine specific question [22:19] NeoID: Really? it adds "ads" on the end, even when you did not provide it? [22:20] geirha, yes it does [22:20] it's a folder inside a file :p [22:20] NeoID: Then the filename probably has a / in its name, which is not allowed [22:20] Is there a way to turn screen brightness below the lowest setting? In darkness it seems too bright. I have tried redshift. [22:20] geirha, ok? how may I cange that? [22:20] *change [22:20] NeoID, Have you tried to rename it? [22:20] NeoID: It shouldn't be possible to have a / in a filename in the first place [22:20] good evening resident ubuntites... [22:21] i need help installing a game [22:21] buntutech, Which game? [22:21] So somehow it's been corrupted [22:21] it is called SecondLife [22:21] geirha, it shouldn't have one... the original file, which also is/was on another server did not have a / in the filename [22:21] and i have found instructions to install it in the terminal [22:22] mv filename foo.mp3 gives me permission denied [22:22] however i am failing at just one small point that i don't understand? [22:22] NeoID: It just ended with .mp3, right? so the NUL that terminated the file's name must've gotten changed somehow, by an accidental dd or some kernel bug or whatever [22:23] i will do my best now to describe the final part of my terminal installation command and hope that someone here can help me with the last step [22:23] this will take me a moment to type it out please stand by... [22:23] so I've verified that I can read the contents of the ubuntu install disk from within ubuntu on my laptop, I've verified it is bootable, but my laptop won't boot it [22:23] geirha, I guess something it's quite right as I can cd into the mp3 file and create folders [22:24] someone said xubuntu doesn't require PAE? [22:24] buntutech: use paste.Ubuntu.com for long text [22:24] jiffe99: it does [22:24] k1l: well what can I use that doesn't require PAE? [22:24] jiffe99: lubuntu was the one which got non-pae kernels [22:24] U can get 12.04 with no pae [22:25] gotxha [22:25] Does anyone know how to turn the screen brightness below the lowest given setting? [22:25] I found xubuntu non pas for an older machine [22:25] NeoID: It could also explain why it has odd ownership and weird combinations of attributes [22:25] Pae* [22:25] jiffe99: did we alredy not verify that you have a pae enabled cpu? [22:25] NeoID: You'd need someone with indepth knowledge of ext4 to figure out to get around it [22:26] i dont think you want anything which needs more rescources than lubuntu on a non-pae hardware [22:26] hitsujiTMO: it shows up but I'm running out of options to try [22:26] geirha, ok.. I guess it's way easier to just try to do a backup and reformat the array [22:26] thanks alot for your time :) [22:26] so I'm just going to try it to see if it works [22:26] jiffe99: what cpu is it? [22:27] t9400 [22:27] Xubuntu was fine for a live session but the HDD was basically unreadable making some crazy beeps [22:28] jiffe99: that definitely has PAE! have you disabled fast boot in the bios? [22:28] t9400 is totally fine === M2Ys4U|test is now known as M2Ys4U| [22:29] the instructions i found from a ubuntu member read as follows: download the games file (i did that)...unzip it....into a pre-made folder call programs in the "home" directory...(i did that also)...open terminal ( i did)...type the following into terminal: cd #HOME/Programs/SecondLife-i686-3.6.11.283787 ( i did that exactly)...the the instructions state; "then just install it using this...sudo ./install.sh ( i did that).... [22:29] .BUT IT DIDNT WORK??? the dadgummed termial thing said "you cannot install to a directory it is in" "install it to aa different directory"....so the moral of this story is...i need a new final command to install it as i don not know what directoy to use or even what a directory is! [22:29] hitsujiTMO: bios in this thing is very limited, there's very few options, I don't see anything about fast boot [22:30] jiffe99: ok. and you are booting from cd/dvd? [22:30] so there you have it [22:30] hitsujiTMO: yeah, I tried both dvd and an sd card [22:30] if anyone knows how please let me know [22:31] i cannot be any more specific thats exactly what has happened [22:31] zzxc__: it was a "bug" if trust discussion.) [22:31] jiffe99: would it be a bit mouch to ask is you can take photos of the bios menus and post them? [22:33] buntutech: u likely need to do one of two things read the install.sh in a text editor to see if it explains the parameters so u can install it somewhere u have write access or do sudo ./install.sh to run it as root [22:33] i id that sudo thing yes [22:33] and thats when terminal said to me....choose a different directory [22:34] had i know what to say at that moment i would be DONE [22:34] so i said desktop [22:34] no good [22:34] i said home [22:34] no good [22:34] buntutech: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:34] cat install.sh [22:34] * buntutech grimaces at the flood bot [22:35] buntutech: Could you paste the exact line? [22:35] Also check for a INSTALL or README file with the script [22:35] hitsujiTMO: I can probably list them faster, there's seriously very little here [22:35] one sec [22:35] does anyone know the names ok geirha but i totally wrote every detail out [22:35] and i mean every detail [22:35] buntutech: The exact line that asks to choose directory [22:36] ok well ill have to go do it all over now this will take time BRB [22:36] you only need the last two steps, the cd command and the install.sh === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:37] NeoID: geirha: It's still probably best to mkfs a new filesystem, but I'm curious if just "sed 's#13. Taishou.a - Higurashi.mp3/ads#13. Taishou.a - Higurashi.mp3Xads#g' /dev/foo" would "fix" this, assuming it really is just a file with a '/' in its name. If you can, it would be great if you could create an image of this entire filesystem with dd, or at least create a (much smaller) e2image image of the metadata and post your ... [22:37] ... problem to linux-ext4 mailing list (*before* trying my crazy sed idea). That way smart people can help figure out exactly what went wrong, and how to avoid/automatically fix such problems in the future. [22:37] Answered [22:37] Options [22:37] on ‎06-13-2011 07:05 PM [22:37] Hi Andrea... it's not too difficult. Just do the following: [22:37] 1. Download the latest Linux package (SecondLife-i686-etc) and save it into your downloads folder as usual. [22:37] buntutech: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:37] 2. Just open up the package in the package manager, right click the folder that appears inside it, and choose extract [22:38] Nobody has any idea about my printer issue? Im sure its something simple im missing as a nooB. I ran this guide: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/hp_setup.html yet hp setup is not detecting a printer via USB. [22:38] it was a that moment where i put in that command ...sudo ./install.sh that i need a name of a directory [22:38] brb [22:38] hi i need help isntalling my propretary driver on ubuntu 12.04, but i get a jockey error [22:39] buntutech: You already covered that part [22:39] buntutech: I'm asking for the exact line it prompted you about. "that i need a name of a directory" you've given three versions of that now. [22:41] gotta download it all over BRB === shaun__ is now known as wafflejock [22:41] buntutech: why?! [22:41] <_joey> what's a good ubuntu based distro with many diagnostic tools enough to fit on 4G memory stick [22:41] buntutech: You already downloaded and extracted it. Just run the sudo ./install.sh command again, and paste exactly what it outputs [22:41] ridethelongbus: try turning your printer off, then on again and see what happens. [22:41] last nite i got so frustrated i dleted it all [22:42] _joey: Ubuntu. Just create a custom usb stick and install the tools you want. [22:42] noone would help so i trashed it [22:42] all i needed was the name of a ubuntu directory [22:42] anyway ill go do it all over brb [22:43] hello everyone, I can check the health of the hard disk via disk utility. is there a tool to check the health of external disk? [22:43] buntutech: Most likely it had a default directory, but asked if you wanted to install it elsewhere. If that's the case, just hitting would work [22:43] hacyard: The same tools. [22:43] hacyard: smartctl I believe [22:43] buntutech: If not, I'd go for something like: /opt/secondlife [22:43] omg i was that close?? [22:43] hacyard: The disk utility is just a frontend for hdparm, smartctl and tune2fs. [22:44] can someone help me with an ubuntu variation install with lightdm guest account, disabling it in .conf file doesnt do anything [22:44] how freakin frustratiing is that [22:44] ok ill do all over again [22:44] NimbleGrimble: Which "ubuntu variation install" is it? [22:44] buntutech: i just had a look at the installer. if you run the installer without sudo it will just install it to your home directory without any hastle [22:44] bekks, yet smart status shows that it is not supported for the external disk [22:44] buntutech: That's why I asked for the exact question it asked you [22:44] Im running a home automation program, "Dianemo" [22:44] why cant i tbe in the ubuntu software center sheesh [22:44] hacyard: thats because of the intermediate usb interface. [22:45] bekks, is there a way to overcome that? [22:45] hacyard: No. [22:45] hacyard: The only way would be to not use USB but eSATA eg. [22:45] bekks, Im running a home automation program, "Dianemo" [22:45] hitsujiTMO: http://nsab.us/public/bios [22:46] NimbleGrimble: So thats some kind of distro, no "Ubuntu" then? [22:46] bekks, you mean the connection of disk to the pc? [22:46] hacyard: Correct. [22:46] buntutech: Ask the ones who made the program why they didn't package it for Ubuntu. It would be much simpler then. This way of installing something on Ubuntu is really a last resort [22:46] bekks, since I don't have this at the moment, I suppose I need another tool? [22:46] hacyard: There is none. It depends on the physical connnection you are using. [22:46] jiffe99: disable quiet boot [22:47] bekks, yes its a distribution and somehow has altered lightdm to the point of me being lost [22:47] hmmm ok but i guess its very simple in terminal ...if i had just answered the final question [22:47] bekks, I see [22:47] NimbleGrimble: Well, then you have to ask their support I'm afraid. [22:47] usually when someone is a forum tell u how simple it is its a very bad sign [22:48] bekks, thank you so much for your help! [22:49] ok its downloaded again... [22:49] :) [22:49] time to unzip it the program folder i just made under HOME [22:49] hitsujiTMO: that did it, although reading the description I don't see why that would matter === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [22:52] so yeah [22:52] i got lubuntu [22:52] way more stable [22:52] old version wubi so there ya go [22:52] took forever to update [22:52] garshasp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:52] opening fresh terminal... [22:53] jiffe99: its dependant from manufacturer to manufacturer, but thats more commonly known as "fast boot". it initialises some hardware late to speed up the boot process, usually by waiting until after the boot process has begun. so that can mean the that the usb interface or cdrom may not be available for the boot process [22:54] terminal isnt reacting the same way now isnt asking me ot do stuff now? [22:54] ok geirha i got it!!! [22:55] ill paste the exact final thing ternminal wants ok?? [22:55] buntutech: What do you mean by "isnt asking to do stuff"? [22:55] it is [22:55] im sorry im ready [22:55] time to go to 900 and stop farting around 800 [22:55] !broken > buntutech [22:55] buntutech, please see my private message [22:55] here is that thingu asked for [22:55] ok [22:55] oops [22:55] wrong channel [22:55] !broken > gassho [22:55] gassho, please see my private message [22:56] Enter the desired installation directory [/opt/secondlife-install]: [22:56] ther eit is [22:56] see?

[22:58] where is it [22:59] click the link in the message [22:59] buntutech: You just have been told :) [22:59] maybe i already intalled the thing? [22:59] buntutech: it's installed. [22:59] buntutech: yes [22:59] buntutech: the installer finished. [22:59] find the icon and run [22:59] omg ru serious [22:59] buntutech: "It's that simple!" [22:59] haha oh geez [23:00] noone ever gave me an actual answer here EVER [23:00] just always tell me do this do that [23:00] buntutech: you want us to do it for you? [23:00] too late its done [23:00] but ty [23:00] buntutech: way to show your appreciation, I'm sure everyone wants to help you now [23:00] i really do appreciate it [23:01] thats what i mean this is the 1st time im so happt i can hardly tell u [23:01] ty geirha and all who tried [23:01] buntutech: it would be way less dificult if you would take a breath and listen to what the volunteers say to you. you seem quite rushing through things instead of knowing what to do [23:01] the answer i need yesterday was simply...."hit enter" [23:01] buntutech: kk realize though most everyone here is just volunteering time and effort so sometimes you won't get a direct response [23:02] hi! [23:02] ok [23:02] buntutech: and we don't all play SecondLife :) [23:02] i understand what u mean [23:02] this is our secondlife [23:02] oic [23:02] buntutech: maybe they could just not track what your actuall problem is when you seperate your description over 20 lines and hitting enter that often [23:02] sorry about that [23:03] how it is your secondlife? [23:03] maybe u can come to secondlife now i can help u install it but better yet i can make your avitar the best [23:04] i do it in wondows usually but since id like to ditch my dependence on windows i was dying to get it in ubuntu [23:04] ty ty ty ty [23:04] this is way beyond my second life I was particles generated in a super nova at one time [23:04] whoever ur geirha u knew all i had to do the whole time was hit ENTER [23:04] odd issue.. since upgrading to 13.10, i always get window distortion like this: http://snag.gy/ruCeY.jpg [23:04] comes and goes, if you shake the window around it often resolves it [23:05] scrolling through long lists of files becomes very problematic though [23:05] How can it be that pgrep -f 'autossh .*-R' returns a pid but ps -eo pid,cmd |grep ssh does not show any autossh? [23:05] well ok lets see if it will let me play it [23:05] brb [23:06] have no idea where it is but lets see [23:07] What is the most awful command? something that could really screw the system up. [23:08] Mongo44: "exit", [23:08] now that its installed does that mean i go to my software center or synaptics to get it up and running? [23:08] Mongo44, anything with -f :) [23:08] buntutech: should just have an icon in the Games folder assuming it installed a .desktop file for you [23:08] does ubuntu 12 installed "Access Prompt" by default ? [23:09] is it safe to remove it [23:09] Access prompt? [23:09] tass: Why do you remove it? [23:09] buntutech: alternatively in the command line you can navigate to /opt where it installed and check for an executable [23:09] bekks , i dont remember installing this app [23:09] do you guys have it in your system? [23:10] What do those commands do? [23:11] Can one update a LTS Ubuntu version to a non-LTS one? [23:11] yeah i dont see any executables yet [23:11] i see the icon but its not exe [23:11] Mongo44: Please dont open unsaked queries. The command "exit" logs you out, preventing you from executing commands. [23:11] hmm [23:11] ill prolly go in game on my other computer and find someone who has actually amde this run [23:12] Why would sudo pgrep ... return something but not without sudo? [23:12] Ilmen: Yes, though you can't skip versions except from LTS to LTS, so to go from 12.04 to 13.10 you would need to go 12.04 > 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10. [23:12] !upgrade | Ilmen [23:12] Ilmen: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [23:12] nafg: Because ps -e without sudo shows user processes only. [23:12] bizarre a game with no exe files [23:12] buntutech: There is an executable. [23:12] ok im looking for it [23:12] Jordan_U, ubottu: thanks :) [23:13] they all say txt and stuff [23:13] Ilmen: You're welcome. [23:13] Mongo44: Do not query me. [23:13] do you guys have it "Access Prompt" app in your system? did ubuntu installed by default? [23:13] bekks: but, pgrep '.*' | wc -l returns 114 [23:14] oh wait i misunderstood [23:14] nafg: whatever that information gives you... [23:14] im lookoing thru all the second lif efiles now [23:14] havent seen access prompt [23:14] bekks: sorry, i thought you meant user's processes [23:14] buntutech: "access prompt" is not part of second life. [23:14] o [23:15] bekks: anyway the thing is, that sudo ps -e | grep ssh returns nothing [23:15] So why is pgrep returning something? === Jikan is now known as Jikai [23:16] i just found a scripot that supposedly install the viewer [23:16] ill try it [23:16] tass: try to find out what "Access Prompt" is really running. then, "dpkg -S /path/to/file" and it should return what "package" it's from. then there are further things that can determine, why it's installed. if this came from outside ubuntu repo... then it could be anything/from anywhere... [23:17] it looks like i gotta cut and past a huge amount of commands into terminal [23:17] pages of them [23:17] is that possible? [23:17] it will fill may screen full [23:17] cant hurt i guess [23:17] ok thanks [23:18] hello all, i have a DELL R610 with Perc6 SAS.

[23:21] now it say im not root so it installed it to home directory [23:21] buntutech: It looks like you need to issue a single command: ls -lhaR /opt/second* | pastebinit [23:21] whatever that means [23:21] do i relaly wanna install itroot [23:21] buntutech: Whyever you are doing random things. [23:21] hitsujiTMO: after grub. its say: /dev/sdc2 not exist. [23:22] i am follwoing the instructions in the install folder i found [23:22] to the T [23:22] Hello again [23:22] kr4m3r: i'd assume, because it's now sda2 ;) [23:22] buntutech: Well, then good luck. [23:22] kr4m3r: is it dropping to busybox / initramfs? [23:22] i think i need to put the word sudo in fornt of it though [23:22] to install it as root? [23:22] hitsujiTMO: yes [23:22] Does anyone know how to turn the screen brightness below the dimmest setting? [23:23] buntutech: you already installed it... you dont need to install it twice. [23:23] buntutech: All you need to do is just listen instead running random commands. [23:23] I tried to boot an old CD image of Ubuntu 12.04 but I get the error "no prefix found" or something like this [23:23] well we installed alotta files but the viewer is not up and running i have to launch the viewer [23:23] buntutech: And that will not be solved by installing it twice. [23:23] followed by a weird screen with some white pixel junk [23:24] there is an install sh file i ma using with ahuge termina lscript [23:24] buntutech: Do you actually listen? [23:24] yes [23:24] kr4m3r: can you mount /dev/sda2? mount -o rw /dev/sda2 / [23:24] buntutech: Please run the single command I told you. [23:24] ok what do u want me to do?

[23:25] hitsujiTMO: but fstab use UUID no? [23:25] kr4m3r: it may or may not. depends on how it generated [23:26] kr4m3r: It may, the usage of UUID is no requirement. [23:26] hi [23:26] UEFI is a piece of garbage lol [23:26] hello [23:26] kr4m3r: if its using UUIDs let me know and we can look elsewhere for where the issue could be [23:27] well there ya go [23:27] hitsujiTMO: ok, give me a minute [23:27] installing that pastebinit [23:27] is lubuntu good?
