| amnith | Actually, the flash that I'm using is "adobe flash plugin" from the software center. But it may not be working on my computer because I'm using chrome, and this flash doesn't seem to support chrome. Also, I've experienced this problem with firefox as well. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Beldar | amnith, chrome has it's own built in flash. | 00:02 |
| daftykins | flash - ah-AH | 00:02 |
| * zykotick9 drooles over onca's 220GB ssd < that's sick | 00:02 | |
| amnith | geekmasterflash I also have windows 8 and I never had this problem, so I think it might be exclusive to ubuntu and it compatibility with flash. I've heard that flash has always been a problem for ubuntu for some reason. | 00:02 |
| * Beldar has a 256 gigger | 00:02 | |
| geekmasterflash | amnith, Yes, I also had no issue in windows | 00:03 |
| amnith | beldar how do I "!reisub"? I typed it into the terminal and it said "bash: !reisub: event not found" | 00:03 |
| zelrik | I need help with password reset | 00:03 |
| Beldar | amnith, read the link not in a terminal. | 00:03 |
| bekks | amnith: chrome supports the current version of Flash built by Adobe and packaged by Google as PepperFlash. | 00:04 |
| Beldar | zelrik, passwd in the cli | 00:04 |
| bekks | amnith: Far more current than the "flash in firefox". | 00:04 |
| zelrik | Beldar, I dont have cli access | 00:04 |
| zelrik | Beldar, I forgot the password | 00:04 |
| Beldar | zelrik, no command line really. | 00:04 |
| geekmasterflash | zelrik, no ssh access? | 00:04 |
| zelrik | geekmasterflash, 0 access | 00:05 |
| glitsj16 | amnith: you might want to look at minitube or smtube to avoid flash on youtube | 00:05 |
| zelrik | none | 00:05 |
| zelrik | nada | 00:05 |
| geekmasterflash | zelrik, Cause if you can't get into the machine, I am not sure we can be much help | 00:05 |
| zelrik | I need to hack my computer | 00:05 |
| zykotick9 | !password | zelrik | 00:05 |
| ubottu | zelrik: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 00:05 |
| geekmasterflash | zelrik, Sorry, well beyond the scope of what we can help with | 00:05 |
| Beldar | zelrik, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword here is another link | 00:05 |
| zelrik | rescue mode doesnt help | 00:05 |
| zelrik | still prompted for a password | 00:05 |
| zykotick9 | zelrik: it should? | 00:05 |
| Beldar | zelrik, Your not doing it right then. | 00:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | zelrik: is this an encrypted drive? | 00:06 |
| Beldar | zelrik, Did you make a root password? | 00:06 |
| zelrik | shift > recovery mode, drop root password... prompted | 00:06 |
| zelrik | hitsujiTMO, it is | 00:06 |
| zykotick9 | hitsujiTMO: that explains that... | 00:06 |
| Beldar | bingo encrypted | 00:07 |
| zelrik | it s too secure | 00:07 |
| zelrik | I am screwed... | 00:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | zelrik: i bet you can guess that there's no way to get access to the drive without it | 00:07 |
| zelrik | my password is a variation of something | 00:07 |
| zelrik | but I forgot which variation exactly | 00:07 |
| * Beldar thinks the nsa needs to help here | 00:07 | |
| zelrik | I wonder if I can bruteforce it | 00:07 |
| zelrik | are there scripts around to bruteforce a password | 00:08 |
| Beldar | case point why encryption is not a good idea, without a backup to get in | 00:08 |
| zelrik | it s an old laptop | 00:09 |
| zelrik | I dont use the password often | 00:09 |
| zelrik | that s why I keep forgetting | 00:09 |
| pfifo | zelrik: you can setup the encryption to use a keyfile, and you can store that keyfile on a usb (or the internet) to prevent this sort of thing | 00:10 |

| Mississauga | standalone | 00:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mississauga: then defo not | 00:33 |
| jafar | i think Mississauga was talking about standalone | 00:33 |
| Mississauga | whats meant by ubuntu running as virtual machine? I know windows is often run as a virtual machine using Wine (or I think thats what its called) | 00:34 |
| SolarisBoy | Mississauga: wine isn't a virtual machine | 00:34 |
| jafar | Mississauga virtual machine is just some computer in your computer that is not real. | 00:35 |
| jafar | i.e virtual | 00:35 |
| Mississauga | example?? | 00:35 |
| euxneks | Mississauga, it's a software computer inside your own hardware computer | 00:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mississauga: no thats different. wine emulates(ish). a virtual machine allows you to run an os inside another os. So you can run lets say ubuntu, inside a virtual computer inside windows | 00:35 |
| jafar | you could be running windows 7 and have a virtual machine running ubuntu | 00:35 |
| Mississauga | ok, new stuff for me | 00:36 |

| hitsujiTMO | euxneks: yeah, its the simplest way to describes it role tho | 00:37 |
| mydevilroot | Hello all | 00:38 |
| SolarisBoy | wines like a windows chroot | 00:38 |
| mydevilroot | I have a question, what drivers are better, install the newest beta driver ATi from their website or use AMD FGLRX (updates) from Additionals Drivers in Settings Panel ? | 00:38 |
| jafar | hello there! | 00:38 |
| euxneks | hitsujiTMO, I think maybe a better way to describe it is a windows to linux translator | 00:39 |
| pfifo | mydevilroot: fglrx will have better support | 00:39 |
| mydevilroot | pfifo: okay, thanks, but fglrx has an issue, I can't record a videos or take a screenshots | 00:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | euxneks: as in it copies windows behaviours in linux? | 00:40 |
| euxneks | hitsujiTMO, well it sort of translates what windows apps want to do into similar things in linux | 00:40 |
| euxneks | hitsujiTMO, i.e. directX "draw line here" to similar openGL bindings | 00:41 |
| pfifo | hitsujiTMO: wine is a set of windows libraries that have been written for use on linux, and a set of tools to configure them | 00:41 |
| euxneks | hitsujiTMO, or "draw a window like this, in these dimensions" to X11 draw commands | 00:41 |
| euxneks | hitsujiTMO, it ends up being faster than trying to implement windows as an emulator on a linux machine, though it's very difficult | 00:42 |
| pfifo | mydevilroot: then perhaps you want the binaries, you can technically switch back anf forth between them if you really wanted to. | 00:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | euxneks: i was actually trying to trap you there with my laste statement. what i said is the definition of emulator. but yeah i know wine these days functions more like a wrapper/vm than an emulator | 00:42 |
| zykotick9 | euxneks: just wanted to say "i agree with you". WINE = Wine Is Not an Emulator ;) | 00:42 |
| euxneks | hitsujiTMO, haha fair enough | 00:42 |

| richringer | if I wanted to setup an ubuntu cloud. what ubuntu version should I go with? | 00:48 |
| DRice7 | i think i've exhausted that as the problem | 00:48 |
| DRice7 | pretttty sure it has to do with the ACPI somehow | 00:48 |
| pfifo | DRice7: what did you pastebin? its not dmesg | 00:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: can you also pastebin /var/log/syslog.1 | 00:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: and maybe /var/log/dmesg.1 | 00:50 |
| zelrik | ok how long does it take to bruteforce an encrypted file | 00:50 |
| jafar | it depends on the length | 00:51 |
| pfifo | zelrik: a lifetime | 00:51 |
| mydevilroot | I'll be back soon | 00:51 |

| DRice7 | brb, i'll pastebin some stuff | 00:51 |
| zelrik | hitsujiTMO, so I am screwed? | 00:51 |
| euxneks | zelrik, is it an encrypted HDD? | 00:51 |
| === SunTsu_ is now known as SunTsu | ||
| hitsujiTMO | zelrik: unless you can eventually remember the password | 00:52 |
| pfifo | zelrik: eat some fish sticks. always helps me to remember stuff, might take a few days to get the full effect | 00:52 |
| jafar | if its encrypted HDD, then its much more time than u can imagine | 00:52 |
| zelrik | euxneks, I think so | 00:52 |
| jafar | even months | 00:52 |
| zelrik | I ll never remember it | 00:52 |
| zelrik | just forget it | 00:53 |
| euxneks | zelrik, how did you make the password? | 00:53 |
| jafar | if u cant remember it then launch brute force and wait till you grow old | 00:53 |
| DRice7 | haha does cat /var/log/syslog.1 | pastebinit not supposed to work? | 00:54 |
| pfifo | it should work | 00:55 |
| zelrik | euxneks, I even forgot what I did when I encrypted that shit | 00:55 |

| zelrik | but it looks like I did | 00:55 |
| jafar | yeah it should work although not very certain | 00:55 |
| euxneks | zelrik, I feel for you dude :( that's too bad I forget stuff all the time. Might want to look into something like password gorilla for future things | 00:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: depends on the permissions of /var/log/syslog.1 (usual 640 afik) and if it actually exists | 00:55 |
| euxneks | I have my password db backed up to the "cloud" | 00:56 |
| * euxneks waves hands | 00:56 | |

| hitsujiTMO | conventry i dont think its a file thats usually handled by your acpi module afaik | 00:58 |
| zykotick9 | euxneks: if your passwords are in the cloud, then assume everyone has them as well... | 00:58 |
| zelrik | at the time, I was like 'ok all this makes sense, I am safe now' | 00:58 |
| euxneks | zykotick9, password gorilla uses encryption | 00:59 |
| zelrik | euxneks, I moved out 3 times since then | 00:59 |
| zelrik | euxneks, if it s written on a piece of paper, that paper is lost | 00:59 |
| zykotick9 | euxneks: i happen to know a couple of people (aka nsa) who likes to break "encryption" | 00:59 |
| coventry | hitsujiTMO: Surely acpi doesn't grab the keypress event ahead of the window manager. | 00:59 |

| euxneks | zelrik, I mined a coin a LONG time ago but have since lost the wallet | 01:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | coventry: that is, if its not handled by the acpi kernel mod | 01:02 |
| zelrik | I did try out bitcoin a while ago | 01:02 |
| coventry | You should release ZelrikCoin. Like Bitcoin, except the metric for the proof-of-work lottery is hamming distance of attempted decryptions to expected plain text. | 01:03 |

| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: dont, just upload it to somewhere. some fileshare site | 01:04 |
| DRice7 | oh ok | 01:04 |
| DRice7 | what's the easiest way to do that from CLI | 01:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: i see the acpi errors: ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S1_] (20130517/hwxface-571) | 01:05 |
| DRice7 | yes, That comes up alot I see | 01:05 |
| DRice7 | but I have no idea what it means | 01:05 |

| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: what kernel are you using? | 01:06 |
| DRice7 | i just went with stock ubuntu 13.10 server | 01:06 |

| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: o.o more unusual messages: PCI: Using host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary, use "pci=nocrs" and report a bug | 01:07 |
| coventry | hitsujiTMO: Thanks. Where are the acpi configuration files on ubuntu? Locate *acpi* is not turning up anything interesting. | 01:07 |

| DRice7 | ASRock E3c224-v+ | 01:09 |
| DRice7 | or maybe +v- | 01:09 |
| pfifo | mayhem: not being able to save them could be a feature request type of bug | 01:09 |
| DRice7 | most recent bios 1.40 | 01:09 |
| Dax|64 | you could disable acpi if you're not using SSDs or anything that benefits from them | 01:10 |
| DRice7 | my O/S boots off of an SSD | 01:11 |
| DRice7 | then i have 3x4TB drives in a raidz config - but that's besides the point | 01:11 |
| Dax|64 | mmkay | 01:11 |
| DRice7 | i was never able to properly reboot this machine, except with freenas, and hitting ctrl-alt-delete before ubuntu got ahold of it | 01:11 |
| coventry | hitsujiTMO: This is ubuntu 12.10, but that doesn't seem like something which would have changed recently. | 01:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: i'd say its just so new that theres no acpi support for it in the kernel. maybe report a bug and add the dmesg | 01:12 |
| pfifo | DRice7: i cant shutdown my machine so I feel your pain | 01:12 |
| DRice7 | hitsujiTMO, oh damn - that's not what i was hoping for | 01:13 |
| DRice7 | every version of ubuntu had sae results so i guess what you are saying makes sense | 01:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: you could try 3.12 mainline to see if that has support | 01:15 |
| DRice7 | haha, is that a quick google search away? What is 13.12 mainline? | 01:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 01:16 |
| DRice7 | that looks fun...hope i dont brick my server | 01:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: its 3 .debs to install. pretty simple and you can always jump back to an earlier kernel if it doens't work and remove the 3.12 | 01:18 |

| mug896 | im using 13.10 64bit but "compiz" process eat memory more and more every time i using dash and launcher | 01:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | mug896: what cpu/gpu do you have? | 01:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | mug896: sounds like your gpu has no 3d acelleration and is offloading to the cpu for the blur effect | 01:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | atom processor? | 01:24 |
| coventry | hitsujiTMO: The trick is to install acpid. | 01:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | coventry: ahh kk. i must have installed that manually when going over custom scripts with someone before | 01:25 |
| mug896 | my notebook cpu is Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M 480 @ 2.67GHz × 4 and gpu is GeForce 310M/PCIe/SSE2 | 01:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | mug896: o.O. and what speed is your cpu running at? cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz | 01:28 |
| nineTHe | I have ubuntu installed alongside win 8 (i can't boot into windows) I want to back up my ubuntu partition then wipe my hard drive and install just ubuntu. Is there a guide for doing this? | 01:28 |
| mug896 | cpu MHz: 1199.000 | 01:29 |
| kriskropd | would this be a good palce to ask why w3m-img doesn't work in my urxvt? | 01:29 |
| kriskropd | place* | 01:30 |
| Beldar | nineTHe, This a Oem windows * | 01:30 |
| nineTHe | Beldar: I have no idea what that means | 01:31 |
| Beldar | nineTHe, original manufactures | 01:31 |
| Beldar | nineTHe, The point is gpt partitioning and efi. | 01:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | mug896: yeah something definitely seems fishy there but i'm not sure where to look. you can try installing unity-tweak-tool and turn off background blur and see if that reduces the issue. maybe nouveau is offloading the filter to the cpu for some silly reason | 01:32 |
| nineTHe | Beldar: would it work if I booted into the live cd then erased my windows partition then start fresh install? | 01:33 |
| coventry | nineTHe: I don't know of tools which make that easy. You can use a live usb stick to clone the ubuntu partition with dd, then dd the ubuntu partition into the windows partition, make sure you can boot from it using grub, and resize it to overwrite the old copy once you're sure it's useful. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Disk_Cloning | 01:33 |
| Beldar | nineTHe, Ah, avoiding the questions, good luck, if youn do not address everything you do not understand you will not have much luck here. | 01:34 |
| nineTHe | thanks for the link Beldar | 01:35 |
| coventry | nineTHe: This will void your warranty. I would clone the entire disk somewhere before fooling with it, if I were you. | 01:35 |
| DRice7 | hitsujiTMO: how would i go about rolling back this kernel if this doesn't work out? | 01:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | coventry: software change voiding warranty? i i think not. | 01:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | DRice7: in the grub menu you can choose an older kernel. ( i think its in advanced or something ) | 01:37 |
| coventry | hitsujiTMO: Figure of speech. It is a drastic, potentially damaging change which would be irresponsible without a recovery method if it goes bad. | 01:38 |

| Beldar | highbass1, You using which password the user or the routers? | 01:40 |
| highbass1 | Beldar: user password ofcourse.... i know it works because i have a windows laptop sitting next to me and its working fine with it | 01:40 |
| Beldar | highbass1, Might be the routers | 01:40 |
| highbass1 | Beldar: what might be the routers? | 01:41 |
| glitsj16 | hitsujiTMO: i could be completely misreading mug896's issues, but what about him installing nvidia driver and nvidia-prime? read about nvidia-prime @ http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/using-nvidia-graphics-drivers-with.html ... please disregard if this is beside the point | 01:41 |
| Beldar | highbass1, run laspci and post the wifi hardware as well for just more info. | 01:41 |
| Beldar | lspci* | 01:41 |
| Beldar | highbass1, run sudo apt-get update to see if your user password is actually working as well. | 01:42 |
| highbass1 | 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) | 01:42 |
| highbass1 | its working fine | 01:43 |
| highbass1 | running updates right now | 01:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | glitsj16: yes installing proprietary drivers is an option, but i still find the issue a bit fishy. there should be no issue at all with that gpu and nouveau | 01:43 |
| NFD_ | alright, i'm having problems using nm-applet. Throws "(32) Not authorized to control networking." every time i try to do much of anything. | 01:44 |
| glitsj16 | hitsujiTMO: fair enough :) | 01:44 |
| Beldar | highbass1, I don't use unity so I'm not sure whether the password popup is yours or the routers is all. just an easy check if there is a router password is all. | 01:44 |

| hitsujiTMO | glitsj16: btw optimus is only a feature in 500 series + afaik, so nvidia-prime would be useless | 01:44 |
| glitsj16 | hitsujiTMO: just recently discovered nvidia-prime package that's all, takes the hassle out of bumblebee install etc | 01:44 |
| Beldar | NFD_, Might you running a partial upgrade? | 01:45 |
| NFD_ | hmm? | 01:45 |
| Beldar | be* | 01:45 |
| highbass1 | Beldar: ahh i see what you are saying... no its the router password that its prompting for... not the sudo password | 01:45 |
| highbass1 | Beldar: and it keeps popping for the router password even though i am typing the correct password | 01:45 |
| NFD_ | Beldar: what'cha mean? i had the problem pre-upgrade too | 01:45 |
| Beldar | highbass1, I have had to wipe the password in the nm to get it to work at times. | 01:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | glitsj16: yeah, prime is a nice upgrade from bumblebee | 01:45 |
| NFD_ | Beldar: how would I check? | 01:46 |
| Beldar | NFD_, If you see a held packages in a apt-get it may be a partial missing dependencies, especially in a dist-upgrade, this can break you setup. | 01:46 |
| highbass1 | Beldar: fair enough but this is a brand new installation ... i just installed and entered the password and it keeps reasking the pass | 01:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | mug896: actually are you still there? | 01:47 |
| Beldar | highbass1, I used to see a tick for auto connect, is this the original desktop? | 01:47 |
| NFD_ | Beldar: I'll check really quick, but i sorta doubt that's the problem | 01:47 |
| glitsj16 | hitsujiTMO: mug896: apologies for confusing the issue | 01:48 |
| Beldar | NFD_, Sure, however we have to at times check variables. | 01:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | mug896: i wonder are you running an internal intel gpu aswell? | 01:48 |

| NFD_ | it still connects when I get near a known wifi point | 01:54 |
| Beldar | NFD_, I missed nothing. | 01:54 |
| nixm | id like to install it to one of those galaxy tablets or something like a kindle fire hd | 01:54 |
| Hetal_ | nixm : Does your kernel support loop devices? | 01:54 |
| nixm | will those samsung galaxys support ubuntu? | 01:55 |
| Hetal_ | You can always try a dual boot | 01:55 |
| nixm | Hetal_ i dont have one yet id only buy one if it worked with ubuntu | 01:55 |
| NFD_ | Beldar: alright, fair enough :P | 01:55 |
| Hetal_ | Android is an edited form of Ubuntu | 01:56 |
| NFD_ | doesn't ever hurt to check | 01:56 |
| nixm | im not buying one of those unless i can get ubuntu loaded for editing videos on the field without having the bios for the device bricking on me from install | 01:56 |
| NFD_ | Hetal_: not quite :P | 01:56 |
| nixm | has any one here had any luck with loading ubuntu onto one of the hand held tablets? | 01:56 |
| Beldar | NFD_, like when one does statistics you consider variables. When I asked about a partial you did not know what I meant, you could easily have run one at any time, you did not say from install you have had this problem. | 01:56 |
| Hetal_ | Well I have done a dual boot | 01:56 |
| Hetal_ | But I had to get a new kernel for mine | 01:56 |
| Hetal_ | And mine was Acer | 01:57 |
| NFD_ | Beldar: exactly, it doesn't hurt to be thorough. you don't quite now how apt (get it?) of a user I am | 01:57 |
| Hetal_ | Can anyone guide me through installing libtcl8.6? | 01:57 |
| Hetal_ | I am 'new' | 01:57 |
| Beldar | NFD_, exactly we have users that come here that know virtually nothing so we have to kinda phish for levels of understanding | 01:58 |
| NFD_ | Beldar: yeah, I gotcha. just double-checking myself :P | 01:59 |
| NFD_ | Hetal_: gimme a sec | 02:00 |
| Hetal_ | k | 02:00 |
| SolarisBoy | Hetal_: is that the package name you want? i see tcllib in the repos | 02:00 |
| SolarisBoy | looks like a package containing tcl libraries and compatible with 8.5 and up | 02:01 |
| Hetal_ | libtcl8.6.so | 02:01 |
| SolarisBoy | i see | 02:01 |
| Hetal_ | I have tcllib installed | 02:01 |
| Hetal_ | But apparently it won't work with my programs | 02:01 |
| SolarisBoy | k wasn't sure if you wanted that or so - | 02:01 |
| SolarisBoy | ok. | 02:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | helal_: libctl3 in the repo? ( 1.8.5 on 13.10 ) | 02:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Hetal_: what app and how did you install the lib? | 02:02 |
| Hetal_ | I installed using apt-get install libtcl | 02:03 |
| NFD_ | hitsujiTMO: he said libtcl initially, which is different from libctl | 02:03 |
| Hetal_ | I need it for EggDrop | 02:03 |
| SolarisBoy | they generally keep the so files in the dev packages - i see tcl8.5-dev | 02:03 |
| SolarisBoy | it looks like .5 is whats in the repos currently (12.04 atleast) | 02:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | nfd_ w00ps my misreading. sorry | 02:04 |
| Hetal_ | I have installed tcl8.5-Dev already | 02:04 |
| SolarisBoy | but your app is looking for a higher version library - is that possibly the issue? | 02:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | Hetal_: did you try: sudo apt-get install eggdrop ? | 02:06 |
| SolarisBoy | or if that is in the repos you may try apt-get builddep eggdrop if for some reason the deps weren't pulled properly or there is some obscure library your system can't find (atleast as a shot) | 02:06 |
| SolarisBoy | Hetal_: did this work on another system and your moving the scripts elsewhere? if so how did you install the TCL there? | 02:07 |
| Hetal_ | No | 02:08 |
| Hetal_ | First time | 02:08 |
| SolarisBoy | are you getting an error about the 8.6 libraries at runtime? | 02:08 |
| vocx | Hetal_, last time I installed ActiveTcl it was quite simple. In general it does not conflict with Ubuntu included Tcl. This may be an option too. | 02:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | Hetal_: if you want to modify the source you can also just: apt-get source eggdrop and just repackage the .deb and install that. | 02:09 |
| Hetal_ | To be honest, I didnt know that EggDrop was available in the software center | 02:09 |
| john_doe_jr | how do I determine what the equivalent to mono-1.0-runtime | 02:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | Hetal_: first place to look for aything. second place to look is launchpad for a ppa :P | 02:10 |
| john_doe_jr | in ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| coryn|drunk | hi I just want to report a bug. When you press prntscr, some weird glitchy sound is played and the screen flashes. Also, this bug makes it impossible to take multiple screenshots in a row. | 02:11 |
| === vincent is now known as Guest67874 | ||
| coryn|drunk | it came with the latest upgrade | 02:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | coryn|drunk: does the screenshot dialog come up? | 02:12 |
| coryn|drunk | hitsujiTMO: yes | 02:12 |
| coryn|drunk | but it's glitching, as I said | 02:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | coryn|drunk: you using snd_hda_intel? | 02:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | coryn|drunk: whats the output of: lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel | 02:14 |
| coryn|drunk | hitsujiTMO: I'm using it, yes | 02:14 |
| coryn|drunk | can this bug be reported online? | 02:15 |
| coryn|drunk | without taking the long time of registering some account etc | 02:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | coryn|drunk: that audio glitch is a bug with snd_hda_intel + pulseaudio and has nothing to do with your problem. you can't take multiple screenshots in a row with the default screen capturing tool it seems. you'll need to install something else | 02:16 |
| coryn|drunk | wha.. but it worked in the previous version | 02:16 |
| coryn|drunk | hitsujiTMO: that audio bug is put there on purpose to mimic an old camera taking a picture (so it's not my sound stuff), and the flash are there to make it "cool" to take a screenshot. | 02:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | coryn|drunk: maybe gnome-screenshot has changed since the last version. | 02:17 |
| coryn|drunk | hitsujiTMO: yes, it has become utterly retarded. | 02:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | coryn|drunk: yes the audio is there for that effect, but the glitched sounds is a result of a different unrelated bug | 02:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | coryn|drunk: you should be able to simply uninstall gnome-screenshot and install a suitable alternative. maybe have a look here for some alternative apps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Taking_a_Screenshot | 02:19 |

| TeamColtra | coryn|drunk well I know in fstab it specifically mentions the user and group permission... | 02:21 |

| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO so maybe I am dumb here but why if the root folder is 777 | 02:33 |
| TeamColtra | are there files still protected by their "owners" and can I chagne that | 02:33 |
| ubuntuaddicted | flash videos within steam are playing really fast, the audio is at least. can't tell if the video is because the sound is fast motion. lol | 02:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: when anything writes a file, it creates it with its own permission. there are certain things you can do to curb that such as setting the setgid bit | 02:36 |
| TeamColtra | if I add the www-data user's group to my user will that make life better? | 02:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: possibly. depends on what umask the apache or whatever is running the php engine is running with. what permissions do the files have? | 02:39 |
| somsip | TeamColtra: I do that, and make all dirs in /var/www to be chgrp www-data and chmod g+s | 02:40 |

| ubuntuaddicted | anyone else have issues with playing preview videos within steam client? the audio in the videos is playing back really fast | 02:44 |
| Hetal_ | Can someone upload a php 5.5.6 executable for me? | 02:44 |
| TeamColtra | Actually I am concerned, I don't think my tmpfs is working because my files are still in the folder and rm is super slow (compared to how fast it would be if it was mounted properly) | 02:45 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO how could I tell if my tmpfs was mounted properly? | 02:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: the fact that you've set the sticky bit ( the 1 in mode 1777 ) will also go against you. as thsi means that only the files owner, directory owner or super user can delete the file | 02:45 |
| === jje is now known as Guest72633 | ||

| Mongo44 | Should I upgrade to 13? How would I do it? | 02:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: you should also use a different directory. /var/tmp is an already existing folder than may be used by other apps | 02:49 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO I am dumb (as you might have noticed) but would mode=7777 make it do what I want it to do | 02:49 |

| ubuntuaddicted | videos within the steam client are playing audio back really fast and it's all jittery, any solution for this? | 02:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: no. use 2777 | 02:50 |
| anti_ | anyone got any help on my question | 02:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: sorry. use 2777 and give it an id of a group you're in ( or whatever user is running the script is in, or a common group ) or set it as 0777 and just add yourself to the www-data group | 02:52 |
| TeamColtra | give "it" an id | 02:53 |
| TeamColtra | I have added group "33" to all the users that do website related things (root, user, and www-data) | 02:53 |
| TeamColtra | so you are saying add group 33 to this folder? | 02:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: so like mode=2777,gid=1000 (if the common group's id is 1000. the initial account has a uid and gid of 1000 as an example ) | 02:54 |
| TeamColtra | so in my example mode=2777,gid=33 | 02:54 |

| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO (just so you don't have to scroll up) in my example mode=2777,gid=33 | 02:57 |
| highbass1 | mann i cant figure this out... my wireless keeps prompting for password... its a fresh linux mint installation... | 02:57 |
| somsip | !mint | highbass1 | 02:57 |
| ubottu | highbass1: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 02:57 |
| highbass1 | ok thank you | 02:57 |
| coventry | If it's a fresh install, I recom | 02:57 |
| coventry | If it's a fresh install, I recommend installing some closer relative to ubuntu. The upgrade path for linux mint is painful. | 02:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: that will mean that any file/folder created will have the gid of 33 it will work. but in the exact way of doing things mode=0777 might just be easier for you | 02:58 |
| * Beldar thinks this channel should have your actually using ubuntu check before allowing on. | 02:59 | |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO I think I have /one/ last question: can I paypal you beer $$? | 02:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: lol | 03:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: i'm good | 03:00 |
| TeamColtra | Beldar well I am on my macbook air right now, my server is ubuntu (and my home computer is too... but I am not on it ) | 03:00 |
| Hetal_ | Beldar : I use multiple OS's to be on this channel | 03:00 |
| Hetal_ | Barely Ubuntu | 03:01 |
| Random832 | what about just banning people who are using mint or crunchbang? | 03:01 |
| Hetal_ | What's wrong with 'mint'? | 03:01 |
| Random832 | Hetal_: people come in here looking for support for it | 03:01 |
| Hetal_ | I feel it comfortable | 03:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Beldar: i think ubuntu should stop setting ubuntu as the default channel in all the irc clients and then the problem will be solved to be honest | 03:01 |
| Beldar | Hetal_ I use many myself, however when one is asking questions and needs repairs and is not actually on the OS it is problematic. | 03:01 |
| daftykins | channel policy isn't really up for discussion last i checked, it's a channel for support of Ubuntu and that's it (: | 03:01 |
| Hetal_ | Wonder who would make the channel Debian next | 03:02 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO I lied... do I need to do anything after editing fstab to make the changes take effect? | 03:02 |
| TeamColtra | otherwise I am still locked out | 03:02 |
| Beldar | hitsujiTMO, That is fine for some levels of help, some just don't transfer, I'm linux is linux without much difference believer myself though. | 03:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: if you add the www-data group to your user you need relog for the change to take effect | 03:03 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO I thought if I made it 0777 then the usergroup thing wans't needed? | 03:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | Beldar: its the fact that all the derivatives keep the same default settings that their users join here | 03:04 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO and how do I reload without rebooting my server | 03:04 |
| Beldar | This channel gets really busy at times with just ubuntu support anyway so allowing all is not real a reality. | 03:04 |
| MajSlayer777 | How would one go about using two programs it use the same port? anyway to have some way they can share the same port? or must i configure one of them to use a dif IP? | 03:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: its still needed, it just means you need a common group that owns that folder | 03:04 |
| Beldar | hitsujiTMO, Hat is a not a fact but a opinion. ;) | 03:05 |
| Beldar | That* | 03:05 |
| Beldar | facts are empirical | 03:05 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO okay so how do I reload wihtout rebooting? | 03:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: you dont need to reload. just log out of ssh and log back in | 03:06 |
| TeamColtra | ah | 03:06 |
| TeamColtra | I can do that | 03:06 |
| Beldar | generally a hypothesis | 03:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | Beldar: install mint and run xchat :P | 03:06 |
| Beldar | hitsujiTMO, I have | 03:06 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO >.> still not letting me :( | 03:06 |

| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: yeah apache is not setting write permissions on the group | 03:09 |
| TeamColtra | lighttpd | 03:09 |
| TeamColtra | so create a new group and add www-data and my user to it? | 03:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: no thats not going to do it. you need to get the php engine to 664 the files | 03:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: what is running the php engine? php-fpm? | 03:10 |
| TeamColtra | It seems like there should be a way to make a directory a free for all | 03:10 |
| TeamColtra | a basic dump folder that anyone can read and write to | 03:11 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO yeah | 03:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: i'll see if theres a way to set php-fpms umask | 03:11 |
| bish0p_ | Can I have some help compiling something? I'm new to linux, so I'm following this guide, but I know that the github link is broken, as it was taken down, so git dosen't work | 03:12 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO but PHP is working and writing files fine | 03:12 |
| bish0p_ | if I can find the bianaries, how hard would it be to compile it from there? | 03:12 |
| TeamColtra | just not when run as CLI | 03:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: yeah, you just need it to make the files group writable so you can change them without sudo tho | 03:12 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO <3 this is your area so I will follow your guidence | 03:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: ok to overwrite the default umask for php-fpm you need to edit the service script. can you pastebin /etc/init.d/php5-fpm | 03:17 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO file doesn't exist | 03:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: its kinda weird that you can do it for a specific application pool | 03:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: how did you install php-fpm? | 03:18 |
| TeamColtra | apt | 03:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: can you install pastebinit: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 03:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: then run: ls -l /etc/init.d | pastebinit | 03:20 |
| TeamColtra | THIS API HAS BEEN DISABLED. Please use Pastebin's new API. http://pastebin.com/api -- lol | 03:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: lols 2 secs | 03:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: then run: ls -l /etc/init.d | pastebinit -b "http://paste.ubuntu.com" | 03:22 |

| TeamColtra | debian :P | 03:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | :P | 03:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: ok. you need to find where php-fpm is being called from and add "--umask 0002" to the start-stop-daemon params as in http://blog.beverlyguillermo.com/post/15817675738/change-file-system-permissions-to-allow-file-uploads | 03:26 |
| TeamColtra | hitsujiTMO and this is supposed to be the line in fstab? ramfs/var/tmp ramfs defaults,noatime,mode=0777,gid=1000,nosuid,size=6GB 0 0 | 03:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | TeamColtra: you can remove the gid bit. its pointless with the mode=0777 | 03:28 |

| shaun__ | !uefi | Windows8User | 03:31 |
| ubottu | Windows8User: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 03:31 |
| TeamColtra | Windows8User why not just follow any of the countless dual boot guides? | 03:31 |
| Windows8User | does the windows installer still work> | 03:32 |
| Windows8User | (wubi) | 03:32 |
| shaun__ | if you need to deal with UEFI you should check that out... if it's not UEFI then just booting off the install disc and using the guided setup to install both will work | 03:32 |

| Windows8User | if i dont need uefi, can i just partition my drive like normal | 03:33 |
| Windows8User | or will that kill my windows 8? | 03:33 |
| Beldar | Windows8User, You have gpt partitioning and a gpt partition table do some research. | 03:34 |

| shady | have a problem with ubuntu one i cant sync b/w the server and my laptop and i received a error message (local and server roots are different) | 04:45 |
| crodjer | Does Ubuntu LTS recieve *only* security updates or the packages are updated too - like office suite, firefox, compilers, interpreters. | 04:45 |
| lotuspsychje | shady: http://askubuntu.com/questions/139077/file-sync-error-local-and-server-roots-are-different-root-mismatch-in-windo | 04:46 |
| lotuspsychje | !lts | crodjer | 04:46 |
| ubottu | crodjer: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 04:46 |
| shady | lotuspsychje: thank you | 04:47 |
| lotuspsychje | crodjer: everything will be updated on your lts for 5 years mate | 04:47 |
| crodjer | Oh, okay cool. | 04:47 |
| crodjer | It will not end up with obsolete packages like debain stable right? | 04:47 |

| koyetsu | does anyone have an updated tutorial for setting up a pxe install server? everything i'm seeing is based on ubuntu 9 and 10. i plan to use it with 12.04.3 and seems to have been some major changes in how daemons work | 05:00 |
| MajSlayer777 | no point in using linux for any kind of graphics anyhow | 05:00 |
| MajSlayer777 | it's not a gaming operating system, to say the least | 05:00 |
| cliffreich | im too lazy to install windows | 05:00 |
| trelane | koyetsu, dunno how much custom stuff there is in ubuntu, but dhcpd with the correct options (66 IIRC), and a TFTP server | 05:02 |
| trelane | MajSlayer777, yes, Valve agrees with you on this. | 05:03 |
| koyetsu | i know the requirements. unfortunately seems to be more complicated than i was hoping | 05:04 |
| Beldar | cliffreich, In general since your issue is graphics posting the actual hardware is helpful. | 05:04 |
| Beldar | to the channel of course | 05:05 |

| DRice7 | so I just clobbered my vty7 connection to lightdm by trying to run vnc11server - any way to get my screen back without rebooting? It seems lightdm is still running and the background processes (file transfers that I don't want to stop) are still running | 05:14 |
| mysqlstudent | Hi all. I read online that Gentoo is "snappier" and faster than Ubuntu, but that it is better suited for the enthusiast due to its complexity. Would you guys say that is true? I'm a Linux noob (about 5 minutes of experience), and I'd like to avoid incurring too much start-up costs in terms of time to just set-up a drive to store my multimedia (videos) | 05:14 |
| daftykins | mysqlstudent: gentoo is for masochists | 05:15 |
| DRice7 | rofl | 05:15 |
| Guest9090 | If you start building Gentoo right now..you may be up and running by Sunday....maybe | 05:16 |
| hellslinger | hahah | 05:16 |
| XMLnewbi | so i was expermenting with running php scrips on an infinite loop. realized its not good and my server would get super slow, few seconds lag in ssh. killall php didnt work, but I killed all the process's with kill -9. Not its all cleaned up and still running slow | 05:16 |
| hellslinger | echo "-j5" >> /etc/make.conf | 05:17 |
| XMLnewbi | System load: 0.08 Memory usage: 23% but its still like 2-5 second lag on every ssh call | 05:17 |
| mysqlstudent | Guest9090: so you're saying I should stick with Ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| mysqlstudent | Guest9090: yeah the guy who suggested Gentoo was throwing around a lot of computer terms -- sounded like a major enthusiast | 05:18 |
| Guest9090 | Just warning you that building from source is sloooooooow. And not just the initial install....but updating the system thereafter. | 05:19 |
| Guest9090 | I have 100 updates in apt-get or pacman...it takes 10 mins. In Gentoo, expect that to take an hour or better. | 05:20 |
| cliffreich | you can run gentoo in 1 day | 05:20 |
| locoloco | @mysqlstudent: not really a matter of this or that distro being "better suited" for one target audience or another. This is gnu/linux! You are free mold it to your liking. That said, Ubuntu is more turn-key than Gentoo so if timing is important, go for it. | 05:20 |
| === SchrodingersScat is now known as Guest12056 | ||
| cliffreich | or less, 1 day if you want a heavy kde or gnome | 05:20 |
| lotuspsychje | guys keep topic to ubuntu support plz | 05:20 |
| hellslinger | the last time I used gentoo, in 2007, I was able to get a machine going in less than a day, but it had 4 processors and ran distcc | 05:20 |
| DRice7 | After copying files from an NTFS external drive to a zfs tank - i have chowned the dirs and i'm still getting a permissions denied - any thoughts? | 05:21 |
| hellslinger | that was with all of KDE and web browsers building from source | 05:21 |
| mysqlstudent | while i don't understand what most of you guys are saying, it seems that most of you are suggesting Ubuntu for me since it is the easiest to set-up | 05:21 |
| mysqlstudent | OK. Thanks for the help Linux pros | 05:21 |
| hellslinger | DRice7: you might need to mount NTFS drive with ntfs-3g, not standard ntfs | 05:21 |
| Guest9090 | All depends on what you install. Obviously a full KDE setup will take more time than an xmonad or openbox setup. | 05:21 |
| crodjer | lotuspsychje: Heh, I try to do that but it is hard as they live far from where I work. | 05:22 |
| cliffreich | weird thing, seems like my ATI card wont work on gentoo nor ubuntu with amd drivers | 05:22 |
| hellslinger | mysqlstudent: any distro is ok, if you want a system that will be up and running in less than an hour, debian, ubuntu, mint, fedora, are good choices | 05:22 |
| mysqlstudent | hellslinger: OK. thanks for the confirmation | 05:23 |
| Guest9090 | Virtualbox is your friend when trying new distros. You are free to try any OS you want...with no risks. | 05:23 |
| XMLnewbi | any ideas on debugging a slow ssh portal when memory and system load is low? | 05:23 |
| DRice7 | hellslinger: so there is no way to get control once it's been copied? it definitely took up spacce in the pool | 05:23 |
| locoloco | @mysqlstudent: go download the image and follow the install instructions. You can tweak the perceived "snappy-ness" later. Welcome to Ubuntu! | 05:23 |
| mysqlstudent | okay thanks. is ubuntu a good solution for me if I play a lot of video games via Steam? | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | XMLnewbi: what is it you wanna have faster? | 05:24 |
| hellslinger | DRice7: I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. If I understood you correctly, you will have to remount the drive as ntfs-3g entirely | 05:24 |
| DRice7 | mysqlstudent: depends on what games, mate | 05:24 |
| hellslinger | mysqlstudent: if you play steam games, install ubuntu | 05:24 |
| XMLnewbi | I want to press ls and have the dir list show up in under 5 seconds | 05:24 |
| XMLnewbi | its also slow on each keystroke | 05:25 |
| DRice7 | Well the drive mounted fine, the files copied fine - I just can't get into the directories I copied - are we on the same page? | 05:25 |
| koyetsu | mysqlstudent: if you want to game i would use windows and run virtualbox of vmware player to vm your linux install | 05:25 |
| koyetsu | or pick up a cheap comp for a linux box as a seperate entity | 05:25 |
| hellslinger | DRice7: yeah.. so what do you mean by can't get into the directories.. permission denied? | 05:25 |
| DRice7 | yeah | 05:25 |
| cliffreich | dual boot is better | 05:25 |
| mysqlstudent | hellslinger: I thought a lot of games don't run on Linux (Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, etc.) | 05:25 |
| Guest9090 | mysqlstudent: If gaming is mainly what you use your computer, you probably should be on Windows. If you are a linux user that is a casual gamer, Ubuntu is probably best. | 05:25 |
| cliffreich | you can install linux and windows on the same computer, just install windows first | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | XMLnewbi: if the net speed is good, you will need to cleanup machine for system speed | 05:26 |
| DRice7 | gaming box = windows + extra linux box | 05:26 |
| locoloco | @XMLnewbi: have you traceroute'd the SSH target? Any hickups along the way? | 05:26 |
| hellslinger | mysqlstudent: you're correct. steam is native to ubuntu so you won't have to fuss to get it running. there are many games that do run, but not all, as you said | 05:26 |
| Guest9090 | mysqlstudent: Games only work on linux if they were written to work on linux. Most big game companies only release for Windows and consoles. | 05:26 |
| koyetsu | cliffreich: i've found that doing a base install of linux in a vm then shutdown and make a copy is very nice. that way if you break it, which a new user will do a lot, you can be back in moments | 05:26 |
| mysqlstudent | Guest9090: OK. Thanks. I recently unplugged a WD 2TB internal HDD from my desktop (it was off) to clean the case and it was unrecognized upon starting my computer back up. It showed "unallocated" on two rectangles on the drive in Computer Management. After following a few online guides, I got it to show "RAW" instead. I did not re-format, as I would like to avoid losing 2 TB of data. While posing this question to some people | 05:27 |
| mysqlstudent | in #hardware, one suggested I store my multimedia files on a Linux drive. Hence, my presence here | 05:27 |
| XMLnewbi | I was running php scripts on infinate loops, when too much was running at same time it was same symptions, soo bogged down each keystroke had lag. I killed the process and it went back to normal. Im sure I got all of them this time and it still bogged down | 05:27 |
| DRice7 | mysqlstudent, I have my main box as windows for gaming...and i have a NAS box running Linux for my multimedia storage/streaming | 05:28 |
| koyetsu | mysqlstudent: depends on what you are are trying to do with them | 05:28 |
| koyetsu | if you don't know linux but want media serving and everything up in minuites of config i would buy a synology nas not that expensive and VERY nice | 05:29 |
| koyetsu | the problem with linux is if you don't know what you are doing you WILL break your media storage and lose or appear to lose everything | 05:29 |
| mysqlstudent | DRice7: koyetsu: yeah, I just bought a drive less Synology 2-bay NAS. | 05:30 |
| mysqlstudent | koyetsu: well, it appears I have no idea how to use Windows 7 in addition to being clueless about Linux. I have no idea how/why my HDD would go "RAW" upon unplugging | 05:30 |
| hellslinger | mysqlstudent: NAS is a good way to go | 05:30 |
| koyetsu | then slap 2 WD red 3TB in that in mirrow | 05:31 |
| mysqlstudent | I think it's a security feature, but Western Digital doesn't have much support on this and there are no real guides online that I could find. I mean, people must unplug their WD internal HDD right? Not sure why this happened to me | 05:31 |
| koyetsu | mysqlstudent i've never had that happen before | 05:31 |
| locoloco | @mysqlstudent: second @hellslinger's suggestion, NAS may fit the bill. | 05:32 |
| koyetsu | could have been you have write cache turned on was writing something and when you unplugged it it corrupted your file tables | 05:32 |
| === Guest12056 is now known as SchrodingersScat | ||
| mysqlstudent | I have two WD HDD for my desktop. Both worked fine. Shut down. Unplug both. Clean case. Re-plug. Start-up. WD HDD with OS boots fine. WD HDD with video is "unallocated" then "RAW" and unrecoverable via MiniPower Tools or EaseUS. | 05:33 |
| koyetsu | no idea | 05:34 |
| mysqlstudent | thanks for your help everyone. appreciate the insight of comp. enthusiasts | 05:34 |
| Beldar | mysqlstudent, There is one WD HD release that does not work with linux, I forget the model, you might look on the web to see if it is this one. | 05:34 |
| hellslinger | NAS is just a good idea anyway, you'll never have to depend on a computer to access your storage | 05:35 |
| koyetsu | i fricken hate pxe.....could they have made this much harder to use? and with synology you can access your stuff on your mobile device too | 05:36 |
| koyetsu | synology with dsm 4.3 is pretty sweet | 05:36 |
| koyetsu | 1 trick you can do with it is turn any network printer into an ios usable printer, hehe no need to go buy special hp printer | 05:37 |
| daftykins | koyetsu: ooh interesting | 05:38 |
| daftykins | i wonder if that works with android too | 05:38 |
| koyetsu | should | 05:38 |
| daftykins | as i saw some stupid HP print service became part of my Nexus 4 after android 4.4 rolled out | 05:38 |
| koyetsu | lemme look at mine real quick | 05:38 |
| koyetsu | you can also enable google cloud print on it | 05:39 |
| hellslinger | daftykins: I'm pretty sure the android 4.4 stuff requires google print device or hp | 05:40 |
| koyetsu | i like it cause i do all my reading/research on my ipad and if i wanna hard copy something i can now just hit the print button rather than email a link to myself | 05:40 |
| hellslinger | I have an old brother 2070 that doesn't get seen by android 4.4 devices. I don't know how to make it work | 05:40 |
| daftykins | hellslinger: ah well, i don't even print things from my PC let alone a phone XD | 05:40 |
| daftykins | first thing i did was disable it | 05:41 |
| koyetsu | i'm using a 2270dw and an hp color laser 2600n | 05:41 |
| hellslinger | ahh. I wish it did work :( | 05:41 |
| koyetsu | oh well off to bed have to be up early for work tomorrow | 05:41 |
| kylemccool | night | 05:42 |
| locoloco | @hellslinger: perhaps try Brother iPrint&Scan app in the Play Store? | 05:44 |
| hellslinger | locoloco: That sounds like what I need, thanks | 05:44 |
| mysqlstudent | yeah, thanks for the help comp. enthusiasts | 05:47 |

| daftykins | Payton: are you just trying it out or will this be a proper install for using? | 07:17 |
| daftykins | using full time | 07:17 |
| Payton | daftykins: Proper install | 07:17 |
| daftykins | and is it the only OS to go on this 1TB disk? | 07:18 |
| Payton | daftykins: Yes | 07:18 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| daftykins | Payton: i would make a 250MB /boot ext4, a 50GB / ext4, a swap partition the size of your system RAM (or just 4GB if you don't want to hibernate/suspend/sleep) and the rest as /home ext4 | 07:19 |
| Payton | daftykins: Good because i did exactly that.... | 07:19 |
| daftykins | you could even go up to 100GB /home if you plan to install lots of software | 07:19 |
| daftykins | oops 100GB / | 07:20 |
| meddy | I'm havving problem updating my system... i get the failed to up date repository message | 07:20 |
| Payton | 100MB* | 07:20 |
| Payton | ? | 07:20 |
| Payton | xD | 07:20 |
| daftykins | nah 100GB root partition "/" | 07:20 |
| daftykins | is an option | 07:20 |
| Payton | Okai | 07:20 |
| daftykins | but i doubt you'd ever come close to filling that even with lots of software | 07:20 |
| daftykins | so 50GB may be plenty | 07:20 |
| Payton | daftykins: Thanks, i just didn't want to screw my pc up | 07:21 |
| nisstyre | 30 gb is probably more than enough | 07:21 |
| daftykins | meddy: go to system settings and run software and sources, i think it's called, then find the option to pick a different mirror | 07:21 |
| daftykins | nisstyre: sure but with 1TB to play with, who cares :> | 07:21 |
| nisstyre | I have 27 gb for / and I have 2.3 free atm | 07:21 |
| buu | Payton: Just make two partitions: /swap at 4gb or whatever and / at 1tb | 07:22 |
| meddy | I already tried | 07:22 |
| meddy | i used the find best server optoiopn | 07:22 |
| meddy | option | 07:22 |
| buu | Which I think is what it defaults to anyways | 07:22 |
| Payton | buu: Would that change anything? | 07:22 |
| nisstyre | you don't necessarily need a swap partition | 07:22 |
| Payton | I know | 07:22 |
| daftykins | meddy: maybe just pick archive.ubuntu.com then | 07:22 |
| Payton | With my 16GB RAM im fine | 07:22 |
| nisstyre | yeah if you have 16 gb of memory then there is no need for swap | 07:23 |
| meddy | ok let me try | 07:23 |
| daftykins | nisstyre: you're forgetting the option of suspend/hibernate | 07:23 |
| Payton | Ok so just dedicate all to root ? | 07:23 |
| buu | Payton: Yes | 07:23 |
| Payton | Okai | 07:23 |
| nisstyre | daftykins: does that require swap? | 07:23 |
| nisstyre | I don't think it does | 07:23 |
| daftykins | i fully disagree with this advice | 07:23 |
| daftykins | at least a separate /home is good for any potential reinstalls | 07:23 |
| daftykins | nisstyre: yeah it's what it writes the RAM to | 07:23 |
| buu | If you're reinstalling you should back up /home anyways | 07:24 |
| buu | Regardless of partitions. | 07:24 |
| meddy | nope doesn't work | 07:24 |
| daftykins | yeah right | 07:24 |
| daftykins | 'cause everyone does things that way ¬_¬ | 07:24 |
| daftykins | meddy: are you sure that system has a proper working network and internet connection? | 07:24 |
| buu | multi partitioned installs are mostly a holdover from multiuser systems | 07:25 |
| meddy | yes how would I be here on this channel | 07:25 |
| buu | And especially multi-process and multi-user | 07:25 |
| buu | These days are machines do one thing | 07:25 |
| buu | *our | 07:25 |

| daftykins | language. | 07:25 |
| meddy | why you think i live in the developing world | 07:25 |
| nisstyre | daftykins: suspending to disk isn't necessary | 07:26 |
| daftykins | that wasn't what i inferred by that statement | 07:26 |
| Payton | 07:26 | |
| daftykins | it was all part of my amusing joke | 07:26 |
| daftykins | nisstyre: no, hence why i said it was an option | 07:26 |
| nisstyre | daftykins: I mean you can still have suspend without it | 07:26 |
| daftykins | but by not offering it in your advice you prevent that option | 07:26 |
| daftykins | eh, nm then | 07:26 |
| meddy | we got 3PCs here 2 tablets a ps3 a chromecast and an roku box connected to this network... but something gotta be wrong.... | 07:26 |
| nisstyre | it just saves everything in memory instead | 07:27 |
| daftykins | suspend != hibernate | 07:27 |
| nisstyre | daftykins: I'm going based on these definitions, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Suspend_and_Hibernate | 07:27 |
| daftykins | meddy: right so can you use paste.ubuntu.com to share what it looks like when you run "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal? | 07:27 |

| daftykins | also a nexus7 repo 0o | 07:30 |
| daftykins | is this a tablet install? | 07:30 |
| meddy | nope just tried to download the installer that install ubuntu on my nexus 7 but the update command didn't work so yeah this is on a PC | 07:30 |
| daftykins | sounds like it messed with some things | 07:31 |
| daftykins | meddy: so none of those appear to actually be a problem, i'd be willing to bet you could still run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" still and updates will still come through normally | 07:32 |

| david_ | Hi all. yesterday did install u Studio v13.10 64 bit. on Software & Updates, shows 5 nVidia/alternative drivers. the one thats Checked is #3, with no driver version number. other 4 have driver version numbers. something tells me if i check, do reboot, might get a great -or- a bad reaction. what do you suggest? | 09:43 |
| BlackDalek | this may sound like a stupid question, but in Lubuntu... where do I find installed apps? I installed Oracle Virtualbox and Dosbox from the Lubuntu Software Centre, but they do not appear anywhere in the lubuntu menus. I can start the apps from terminal so they ARE there, but there is no entry in any menu for anything I install. Where are they? | 09:46 |
| altin | why am I getting: /bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libturbojpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 09:48 |
| altin | when I have this library installed ? | 09:48 |
| altin | it shows this error when I run anything with optirun ? | 09:48 |
| BlackDalek | Also.. is it just me or does Steam for Linux no longer connect to the Steam server? | 09:48 |
| altin | nvm fixed it | 09:50 |
| crodjer | T/leav | 09:54 |
| SASDOE | BlackDalek: installed apps can be in various places | 09:54 |
| ubuntuaddicted | is it generally ok to mix memory brands and speeds? 2 sticks are 4GB G-Skill 2133 (bios can only run them at 1866) and I am about to buy 2 more sticks 4GB Patriot Viper 1866 | 09:56 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntuaddicted, should be fungible ... | 09:57 |
| nighthawk1987 | crying now i just saw 4gb memory for cheap on outletpc. | 09:58 |
| ubuntuaddicted | cfhowlett, i figured it should work. thanks | 09:58 |
| ubuntuaddicted | they run in dual-channel so at least each channel has the same brand and speed | 09:59 |
| daftykins | ubuntuaddicted: compare the timings capable @ 1866 | 09:59 |
| ubuntuaddicted | daftykins, oh, the ram i already have is 11-11-11-30 and the ram i was going to buy is 9-9-9-24. is that not good to mix those? | 10:01 |
| Rory | ubuntuaddicted: They will all run at the slowest speed, obviously. It will work though. | 10:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | id get 2 more 4GB modules from G-skill but i can't find them in stock anywhere | 10:03 |
| daftykins | just go for it, worst comes to worst, you sell the existing kit and get a second set of what you're buying now | 10:03 |
| nighthawk1987 | Ubuntuaddicted: I just saw some in stock at outletpc.com for about 30 bucks a pop. it is according to how much you are buying them for.. they are 1866 | 10:04 |
| nighthawk1987 | I guess it was a black friday special | 10:05 |
| nighthawk1987 | and they are g-skill | 10:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | nighthawk1987, those timings are 9-10-9-28 | 10:06 |
| ubuntuaddicted | nighthawk1987, thanks anyway though | 10:06 |
| BlackDalek | another question.... how do I remove items from the Lubuntu menu? I did a "sudo apt-get remove wine1.4" but it's still in the menu. How can I remove redundant entries? | 10:08 |
| marcellux | hi. does anyone know how to install an apropiate flashplugin version to be able to wathc any kind of web content? | 10:08 |
| anunakki | its purge | 10:08 |
| anunakki | apt-get purge | 10:08 |
| anunakki | sudo apt-get purge wine1.4 | 10:08 |
| BlackDalek | anunakki, ahhh ok. | 10:08 |
| ikonia | marcellux flash is not really a stable / depenable solution on linux any more - it was never really great, but now it's EOL, you can't really depend on it in any way | 10:09 |
| impradeepy | hello | 10:09 |
| impradeepy | is there any C programming chhanel available? | 10:09 |
| tovarish | marcellux, flashplugin-installer ? it's not what you want? | 10:09 |
| marcellux | I tried it but it did not work | 10:09 |
| tovarish | what do you mean by didn't work? | 10:10 |
| BlackDalek | anunakki, um, using purge made no difference. It's still in lubuntu's menu. | 10:10 |
| marcellux | I downloaded the current version from adobe site and did as I was told, but nothing | 10:10 |
| impradeepy | ?? | 10:10 |
| anunakki | hmm | 10:10 |
| anunakki | odd | 10:10 |
| anunakki | purge usually removes it | 10:10 |
| anunakki | might have to manually remove now | 10:10 |
| anunakki | not very familiare with lubuntu or its menu | 10:11 |
| marcellux | I get the message I should install the version so and so | 10:11 |
| Beldar | marcellux, you install from the ubuntu repos | 10:11 |
| marcellux | I did that too, beldar | 10:11 |
| BlackDalek | Can someone who is familiar with lubuntu please tell me how to remove ghost menu entries (of uninstalled apps)? | 10:11 |
| Beldar | marcellux, So flash works nowhere ever as of now? | 10:12 |
| marcellux | right, beldar. it happened since last repos update | 10:12 |
| Beldar | marcellux, So flash works nowhere ever as of now? | 10:13 |
| marcellux | youtube works fine, but I cannot watch this, and I used to! http://tvthek.orf.at/program/ZIB-9/71256/ZIB-9/7184898/Ukraine-Abkommen-endgueltig-geplatzt/7184900 | 10:13 |
| Beldar | marcellux, You might note the message on it is not stable, it does not work everywhere, if it is working on youtube than it is working, you might try chrome it has a built in flash. | 10:16 |
| makara | will my computer boot if I make chmod 400 /etc/fstab? instead of doing this: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/20330/mounting-windows-share-on-startup-without-storing-password-in-plain-text | 10:18 |
| tovarish | makara, I hope that the mount process is run as root | 10:20 |
| tovarish | so my guess is yes | 10:20 |
| makara | tovarish, made it 600. Curious that this should be open to all users, since mounted network drive username and password is stored in plain text | 10:22 |
| Richhh | wondering about security of running Skype on Ubuntu 13.10, read here [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_security ] that Skype reads from /etc/passwd but 'newer' versions of linux store passwords in /etc/shadow where only privileged (not Skype) apps can access it, so I guess my version is considered 'newer' and is safER? | 10:22 |
| tovarish | makara, username and password in fstab? | 10:23 |
| tovarish | that file muts be readable by all users | 10:23 |
| marcellux | ok, thanks. I'll try chromium | 10:26 |
| sepero | Richhh: sure | 10:26 |
| makara | tovarish, are you saying I added that line to fstab? | 10:26 |
| Beldar | marcellux, chromium does not have the built in flash chrome does. | 10:26 |
| tovarish | makara, I am saying that no password must be in fstab | 10:27 |
| tovarish | because that file must rw-r--r-- | 10:27 |
| marcellux | ok. the chrome it is! | 10:27 |
| anunakki | meh firefox was default installed in my ubuntu-server dedi so i didnt install chromium | 10:28 |
| makara | tovarish, why must it be 644? Who needs to mount drives besides root? | 10:28 |
| anunakki | but i use chrome any other time | 10:28 |
| anunakki | i might even purge firefox and install chromium | 10:28 |
| anunakki | just because i love chrome | 10:28 |
| Overlordz | Richhh, so what if it does? | 10:28 |
| tovarish | makara, you can have line for things use can mount themselves (like usb key etc.) | 10:28 |
| Overlordz | Richhh, there are probably any number of system calls that could cause a read on /etc/passwd. that article is poorly written to not mention so. it's spreading FUD. | 10:29 |
| tovarish | fstab is public since the old time | 10:29 |
| === stijn is now known as stijndg | ||
| tanmay | y | 10:29 |
| tanmay | noooooo | 10:30 |
| blinky_ghost | j #rdo | 10:31 |
| Overlordz | Richhh, apparently I'm not the only one who finds that absurd. In the "Talk" section of that article: FUD about /etc/passwd: This is nonsense. The password file is public. If you call the getpwent API, it accesses the file. It is necessary for simple things like mapping the numeric user ID to a user name. I haven't seen a Linux installation in twelve years that put hashed passwords into /etc/passwd. Shadow files are now the nor | 10:34 |
| Overlordz | m. | 10:34 |
| Richhh | ok thanks Overlordz | 10:38 |
| MajSlayer7777 | umm what's a good videocard for ubuntu? i hear say away from ATI? that correct? | 10:42 |
| ikonia | MajSlayer7777: it really depends on make/model | 10:42 |
| ikonia | MajSlayer7777: and what works in this release maybe obsoleted in release +1 or +2 | 10:43 |
| ikonia | so research is key | 10:43 |
| MajSlayer7777 | going to trash my gtx 560 twin frozer 2, sucker keep locking up any computer i install it on | 10:43 |
| MajSlayer7777 | ahh i see ikonia | 10:43 |
| MajSlayer7777 | well one thing is for sure, i won't be buying any videocards that come "overclocked" second one I've had fail on me | 10:44 |
| MajSlayer7777 | anyhow thanks for the tips, i'll see if i can find one that works on ubuntu 13.10 well and it in the $300 price range | 10:45 |
| Overlordz | MajSlayer7777, i believe if you want to use strictly open source drivers, ati is better, otherwise, nvidia | 10:45 |
| MajSlayer7777 | ahh yeah i like ATI, always found the rendering of shaders to be quite nicer | 10:46 |
| MajSlayer7777 | (even if they are a bit slower) | 10:46 |
| Overlordz | ikonia, are you saying videocards might be obsolete in 1 or 2 releases of ubuntu? | 10:46 |
| Overlordz | sheesh I knew stuff got outdated fast but dang, now I need to buy a videocard every year | 10:48 |
| ikonia | Overlordz: not really "by ubuntu" but as ubuntu ships the binary kernel modules for ATI/Nvidia, they both can obsolete cards, or make the older modules required to support those cards, not compaitble with the more current/modern kernels | 10:49 |
| vocx | I think it's a bit naïve thinking that you can use the newest, "best" video card right away with a Linux kernel. The companies that make the hardware need to constantly change their product, "improve", to gain a market edge. | 10:50 |
| vocx | What could work is a manufacturer catering specifically to open sources, but its product should also be better than the competitors, which is difficult of course. | 10:51 |

| * Hassen is downloading ubunto 13.10 i386 | 11:08 | |
| Brandano | Hassen: i386? | 11:11 |
| Brandano | It's for something like a netbook? | 11:12 |
| Hassen | Brandano, the file beeing downloaded is labelled: ubuntu-13.10-desktop-i386.iso | 11:12 |
| Brandano | Hassen: yes, but that's for a 32 bit architectureù | 11:12 |
| ObrienDave | is your system 32 or 64 bit? | 11:12 |
| Hassen | 32 bit | 11:12 |
| Brandano | then it's fine | 11:12 |
| ObrienDave | that explains that :) | 11:13 |
| Hassen | did they make a ubuntu for laptops,and other one for desktops? | 11:13 |
| Brandano | there was a netbook remix for small screens | 11:13 |
| Brandano | then Canonical decided that everyone was going to use a touch screen interface anyway | 11:13 |
| Hassen | but laptops/notebooks use the same ubuntu as the desktops use? | 11:14 |
| Brandano | pretty much | 11:14 |
| bazhang | !une | Hassen | 11:14 |
| ubottu | Hassen: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. | 11:14 |
| Brandano | netbooks often use an Atom processor, which is a 32 bit multithreading cpu | 11:14 |
| Hassen | but strange...YUMI has failed massively to make a bootable live CD of my ubuntu 11.04 iso | 11:14 |
| Hassen | now i'll try the latest ubuntu | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | Hassen, netbooks like xubuntu and lubuntu | 11:16 |
| Overlordz | can't imagine why they thought Unity was good for netbooks | 11:16 |
| Hassen | so ?ubuntu is for netbooks? | 11:17 |
| invite | 2 | 11:17 |
| invite | 2 | 11:17 |
| invite | 2 | 11:17 |
| FloodBot1 | invite: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:17 |
| Rory | Overlordz: Unity came from the ubuntu Netbook Remix | 11:17 |
| cfhowlett | Hassen, lubuntu and xubuntu are better for lower spec machines such as netbooks. | 11:18 |
| Hassen | ewww...flooding around here is risky..crowded channel with 3 anti-flood bots :o | 11:18 |
| Brandano | why three floodbots? Resilience against netsplits? | 11:18 |
| cfhowlett | Brandano, one would hope | 11:18 |
| Rory | Overlordz: They announced that the netbook remix interface was going to become to default on the desktop | 11:18 |
| Hassen | Brandano, i see floodbot1/2/3 | 11:18 |
| DJones | Brandano: Yes pretty much, to cover netsplits & backup | 11:18 |
| Brandano | Btw, I found what was messing up my DNS lookup yesterday: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/996088 | 11:19 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 996088 in bind9 (Ubuntu) "Bind is not configured correctly on upgrade (resolvconf integration)" [Medium,Confirmed] | 11:19 |
| Brandano | apparently it affects upgrades to 12.04 too | 11:19 |
| MajSlayer7777 | hmm dang ubuntu didn't detect my SSD drive, and only found my old HDD | 11:21 |
| Rory | MajSlayer7777: Can you see it if you run "sudo fdisk -l" ? | 11:21 |
| Hassen | i'm waiting for ubuntu 13.10 to be downloaded so i start programming and diving deeper in scripting :) | 11:21 |
| MajSlayer7777 | well i'm sure it sees it now, but it didnt on install | 11:22 |
| pahaloom | Hassen, why ubuntu? | 11:22 |
| Hassen | pahaloom, what other OS do you suggest? | 11:22 |
| pahaloom | wouldnt you need just text editor and files? | 11:22 |
| outlaw84 | Hi, I am having some permission problems. I want my user to have access to /dev/ttyUSB0, but the chown disapears efter every reboot. What is the real solution for this= | 11:22 |
| pahaloom | Hassen, any OS will do | 11:23 |
| Hassen | pahaloom, but the command line interface is much richer than windows's one | 11:23 |
| Brandano | pahaloom: yep, Gentoo will work just as well, yet I wouldn't suggest it to a beginner | 11:24 |
| Brandano | Hassen: you mean bash scripting? | 11:24 |
| Hassen | Brandano, yes | 11:24 |
| disco | Hello world. | 11:25 |
| Brandano | Hassen: Ubuntu comes with its own set of idiosincrasies, there will be places where your tutorials just won't match | 11:25 |
| outlaw84 | Just to be clear nor Ubuntu or Gentoo is an OS, they are just distributions usually run with the Linux-kernel | 11:25 |
| Brandano | outlaw84: right. and both of them using bash, but that isn't an axiom either | 11:26 |
| disco | What's the difference, really? | 11:26 |
| tovarish | outlaw84, its udev | 11:26 |
| outlaw84 | disco: packaging system | 11:26 |
| Brandano | I wonder if there's any distribution using a different shell. Except perhaps Android | 11:26 |
| outlaw84 | tovarish: could you be more detailed? | 11:26 |
| Rory | Brandano: Other shells like zsh are available on Ubuntu | 11:26 |
| tovarish | udev recreate your "devices" during boot | 11:27 |
| tovarish | so you must configure it | 11:27 |
| pahaloom | Hassen, set up either cygwin or mingw | 11:27 |
| Hassen | that teacher woman said yesterday that windows is for beginners in programming,so move to e.g linux ubuntu to learn programming | 11:27 |
| Hassen | but i didn't agree with her | 11:27 |
| outlaw84 | Brandano: any distribution can have any different shell, the only difference is which shell they ship with | 11:27 |
| * Brandano did some ksh scripting on SystemV in the past | 11:27 | |
| BikerSco | Hello :) | 11:28 |
| cfhowlett | Hassen, here's a thought: install a buntu: then add the Sputnik Developer packages | 11:28 |
| cfhowlett | BikerSco, greetings | 11:28 |
| Brandano | Can't remember much of it, though. It was mainly to deploy PL-SQL stored procedures | 11:28 |
| tovarish | Hassen, that teacher is a troll | 11:28 |
| BikerSco | Can anyone recommend the best way to screen share between two ubuntu machine sont he same network? | 11:28 |
| pahaloom | Hassen, I would not agree on any teacher claiming so | 11:28 |
| outlaw84 | BikerSco: vnc | 11:28 |
| Hassen | yes | 11:28 |
| pahaloom | goahead, download ubuntu and start prooving her that it is much easyer for any real programming | 11:28 |
| Hassen | :) | 11:29 |
| outlaw84 | lol, like program difficult would depend from OS :) | 11:29 |
| pahaloom | show the b***h how much of a control can one have over its machine just by quitting windows | 11:29 |
| Brandano | BikerSco: actually, if you want to SHARE the screen you need the X11vnc package, not the vncserver package | 11:29 |
| tovarish | outlaw84, of course, it's depending of the API and how you link to it | 11:29 |
| pahaloom | but this would not quite be programming | 11:29 |
| Brandano | vncserver will create a new X11 instance instead of sharing the existing one | 11:29 |
| pahaloom | for programming, one needs just a good enough text editor | 11:29 |
| outlaw84 | tovarish: I would say it depends what you are programming, which has not been made clear yet | 11:30 |
| pahaloom | and usually - for real programming cases - a compiler | 11:30 |
| pahaloom | two tools | 11:30 |
| pahaloom | any OS will do | 11:30 |
| tovarish | outlaw84, everythign os more difficult to do on windows | 11:30 |
| Brandano | in defense of the teacher, the integration with the OS is probably a bit better in *nix | 11:30 |
| tovarish | s/os/is/ | 11:30 |
| Hassen | gentlemen..that's why i hate college..i get absent at most days of the week,here alone with my laptop,i learn stuff fast and correct by reading books and connecting to IRC,but there in college they troll you with wrong and boring informations | 11:30 |
| pahaloom | Hassen, maybe choose different subject? | 11:31 |
| pahaloom | Hassen, how about if you go to art school instead, or pick literature course | 11:31 |
| Brandano | But you'll only hit stumbling blocks when you start to deal with inter-process communications | 11:31 |
| ikonia | maybe take this to a different channel please, as this channel is for #ubuntu topics not school advice | 11:31 |
| Brandano | reading from a program's stdout in windows is a hassle | 11:31 |

| tovarish | outlaw84, did you read what I wrote? you have to configure udev | 11:32 |
| pahaloom | thanks, bazhang | 11:32 |

| outlaw84 | ActionParsnip: crw-rw---- 1 eseco eseco 188, 0 Nov 29 12:14 /dev/ttyUSB0 | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | outlaw84: did you chown it by any chance? | 11:34 |
| outlaw84 | ActionParsnip: yea I did not it reverts back to root after reboot | 11:34 |
| tovarish | outlaw84, when I want to enable access to a specific dev to users, i create a "device" inside /opt correctly configured, udev won't mess with that | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | outlaw84: is it root:root ? | 11:35 |
| copithod | whois outlaw84 | 11:35 |
| BikerSco | Brandano, outlaw84 thanks | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | outlaw84: or is it rot:dialout? | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | outlaw84: reboot, then chgeck the ownership | 11:35 |
| outlaw84 | ActionParsnip: I will | 11:35 |
| outlaw84 | tovarish: you mean with a symlink or how? | 11:35 |

| tovarish | koyetsu, mount | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | outlaw84: if you reboot and find the group owner, we can add you to the group and you will get access | 11:37 |
| koyetsu | oh...now i feal stupid | 11:37 |
| tovarish | koyetsu, but bezqre mount could lie about what is mounted | 11:37 |
| tovarish | to be sure "cat /proc/mounts" | 11:37 |
| koyetsu | awesome, thanks tovarish | 11:38 |
| tovarish | you're welcome | 11:38 |
| koyetsu | looks like i got it right. i've never used the uuid to setup a perm mount point befor i always just used /dev/sdXX | 11:39 |
| Brandano | is there a more recent version of Ubuntu for ARM architecture than 9.04? | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !arm | 11:39 |
| ubottu | ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 11:39 |
| Brandano | I really ought to update my Sheevaplug. | 11:40 |
| outlaw84 | ActionParsnip: the group was dailout, I added my user there and now it works :) Thanks | 11:40 |
| Layke | On my previous install I used <CAPS> as a keyboard modifier. For instance, I could press <CAPS> - l and it would create a GBP pound sterling symbol. Or I could press <CAPS> u : and it would create a umlaut. What's this called and how do I enable it again? | 11:41 |
| tovarish | Layke, xmodmap will probably help you | 11:46 |
| trijntje | Brandano: no, though there is an indiegogo campain to create one | 11:47 |
| koyetsu | hey tovarish, do you know what apache2 is called for the start/stop service in 12.04? i've tried apache2 apache and httpd and none of those seem to be right. according to ps -x /usr/bin/apache2 is running...but i need to restart it and i keep getting an "unknown job" error | 11:48 |

| Hassen | koyetsu, googling that | 12:00 |
| koyetsu | Brandano i went the hard way and rebooted the server....hehe | 12:01 |

| MajSlayer7777 | silly noob question i know, but just installed google chrome, how to i add a short-cut to my desktop for it? | 13:11 |
| Janhouse | How can I make the initram busybox contain logger and diff? | 13:12 |
| MajSlayer7777 | currently i can only launch it via terminal | 13:12 |
| gordonjcp | MajSlayer7777: which desktop are you using? | 13:12 |
| MajSlayer7777 | Unbunto 13.10, i guess the default one, it never asked.. | 13:13 |
| rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | top shows me that the program plugin-container contantly uses 50% of CPU power. Is this normal? | 13:13 |
| WiGust | MajSlayer7777: http://xmodulo.com/2013/11/create-desktop-shortcut-launcher-linux.html | 13:13 |
| gordonjcp | MajSlayer7777: okay, so press the flag key and type "chrome" | 13:13 |
| rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | And xorg uses nearly also 50% | 13:13 |
| Rory | rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr: Yes because that's probably Adobe Flash which is a notorious resource hog | 13:13 |
| gordonjcp | MajSlayer7777: when it's up, right-click on the icon on the launcher and click "pin to launcher" | 13:14 |
| rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | So what can I do about it? | 13:14 |
| gordonjcp | rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr: avoid flash, maybe | 13:14 |
| rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | MajSlayer7777, When what is up? | 13:15 |
| WiGust | Hassen: did you try ultaiso? | 13:15 |
| Hassen | WiGust, trying.. | 13:16 |
| rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | Rory, but i have 50% CPU utilization when Firefox is not even started. | 13:16 |

| N3xtIn | fastboot and ADB are not working .here is link to question.http://askubuntu.com/q/383418/28675 | 13:56 |
| ikonia | N3xtIn: how is that anything to do with ubuntu ? | 13:57 |
| ikonia | N3xtIn: just fie the permissions on the file | 13:57 |
| N3xtIn | which file | 13:57 |
| N3xtIn | ? | 13:57 |
| ikonia | the two it's saying "permission denied on" | 13:57 |
| Win8User | Back. | 13:57 |
| ikonia | the two it can't execute | 13:57 |
| Rory | N3xtIn: Remove adb and fasttools using whatever method you installed them with, and install from the repositories for fewer headaches | 13:58 |
| Win8User | Would you think I should get LTS or latst features? | 13:58 |
| shadej | can anyone help me what this means? http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/1.3/jms/tutorial/1_3_1-fcs/doc/client.html#1025249 | 13:58 |
| N3xtIn | yes , i have edited on .bashrc file , as said that guide | 13:58 |
| ikonia | N3xtIn: who said anything about .bashrc | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Win8User: depends if you want LTS? You can install 13.10 then upgrade to 14.04 in April next year and get LTS :) | 13:58 |
| ikonia | N3xtIn: I said fix the permissions of the two files | 13:58 |
| N3xtIn | how to do that? | 13:58 |
| Win8User | uhmmm | 13:59 |
| Win8User | its making me download amd | 13:59 |
| Win8User | i have an intel processor | 13:59 |

| ubottu | Win8User: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 13:59 |
| N3xtIn | @ikonia how to do that? | 14:00 |
| ikonia | N3xtIn: right click on them in the file manager and change the permissions | 14:00 |
| Brandano | N3xtIn: chown | 14:00 |
| ikonia | N3xtIn: with respect - if you can't manage basic file system permissions, you're going to struggle to use the development kit | 14:00 |
| ikonia | N3xtIn: I'd suggest trying to get a basic understanding of how to use linux before trying to develop on it | 14:00 |

| ikonia | thats the target distro for steam | 14:02 |
| ikonia | "can't run normally" | 14:03 |
| ikonia | ? | 14:03 |
| Pici | syeekick: It works the best on Windows, but what ikonia said ;) | 14:03 |
| Brandano | syeekick: native steam uses ubuntu as reference environment, so it ought to. Steam under Wine works fine, though there's some issues if you try to use files symlinked from an ntfs filesystem | 14:03 |

| N3xtIn | unable to change ,it keepon reverting back :( | 14:04 |
| ikonia | and links to an ntfs file system have no relevence | 14:04 |
| kmantzou | yeap my screen flashes and overheating is also a problem | 14:04 |
| syeekick | which should i install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or 13.10? | 14:04 |
| ikonia | skiy1337: you where told about this in ##linux | 14:04 |
| syeekick | and does ubuntu have spins like fedora does? | 14:04 |
| ikonia | skiy1337: please try to READ the answer people give you - it's not a linux issue, it'a marketing issue | 14:04 |
| ikonia | skiy1337: no | 14:04 |
| skiy1337 | Well, you've got a good memory. | 14:04 |
| ikonia | skiy1337: it was less then 60 seconds ago | 14:05 |
| ikonia | I can remember longer than 60 seconds | 14:05 |
| Brandano | syeekick: presuming you want the bleeding edge system and don't need stability at all costs, get the latest one | 14:05 |
| syeekick | whats ubuntus equivlent of rpm fusion in fedora? | 14:06 |
| Brandano | I don't exactly know what the "spins" are, but there's an Ubuntu Server edition that is officially supported by Canonical, and a few other distributions based on Ubuntu that have different desktop environments | 14:06 |
| ikonia | syeekick: there isn't one | 14:06 |
| frojnd_ | Hi there. | 14:07 |
| Brandano | ikonia: I had Steam under Wine work perfectly and Skyrim running at decent FPS. | 14:08 |
| BluesKaj | syeekick. compiz-fusion , maybe | 14:08 |
| ikonia | Brandano: so ? | 14:08 |
| Brandano | 15:03 < ikonia> steam under linux does not work fine | 14:09 |
| LjL | BluesKaj: ... what | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Brandano: correct, it doesn't | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Brandano: rpm-fusion is a repo | 14:09 |
| BluesKaj | LjL. I did say maybe :) | 14:09 |
| Brandano | plus there's the native steam linux client that seems to work fine on my machine. that you might find Valve's DRM despicable does not mean the program won't run | 14:09 |
| ikonia | what are you talking about ??? | 14:10 |
| coder2 | OK, thanks anyway. Who cares... | 14:11 |
| coder2 | Bye | 14:11 |
| Brandano | ikonia: why do you say that steam under linux does not work fine? | 14:11 |
| === jbroome__ is now known as jbroome | ||
| ikonia | Brandano: I didn't say that, I said under wine doesn't work fine | 14:11 |
| Brandano | I mean, what part isn't working? | 14:11 |
| Brandano | oh, under wine it needs tweaking, but it works | 14:12 |
| ikonia | no it doens't work | 14:12 |
| shadej | how can i find "Directory in which the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3.1, is installed"? on ubuntu | 14:12 |
| Brandano | as long as you don't symlink the steamapps folder but single folders under steamapps it works with symlinks to ntfs as well | 14:12 |
| ikonia | Brandano: so if I install steam under wine, buy any game and play it - will it work ? | 14:12 |
| Brandano | depends on the game, but generally yes | 14:13 |
| ikonia | Brandano: nonsense | 14:13 |
| ikonia | Brandano: look at the wineappdb - most of the game don't work, or have serious flaws | 14:13 |
| Brandano | it's wine support for specific steam games that is lacking | 14:13 |
| ikonia | and even those that work today can break tomorrow due to updates | 14:13 |
| ikonia | Brandano: sorry, that is not "steam works under wine" | 14:13 |
| Brandano | steam as and for itself works | 14:14 |
| ikonia | that is worthless | 14:14 |
| ikonia | it's clear the user is asking about the experience, the ability to use the steam gui, download and play games | 14:14 |
| Brandano | you can buy and download the game, and the authentication works fine | 14:14 |
| ikonia | what good is downloading a game if you can't run it | 14:14 |
| ikonia | that is not a "working solution" | 14:14 |
| Brandano | well, in my case it was good to download the game without having to reboot to windows | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Brandano: you downloaded 1 game - that does not mean it is a working solution | 14:15 |
| Brandano | no, I have about 150 | 14:15 |
| syeekick | ikonia, why do you like to brush everyone up the wrong way | 14:15 |
| === dean|away is now known as dean | ||
| ikonia | Brandano: you've got 150 games working under steam runing on linux in wine | 14:15 |
| Brandano | Nope, only a few of those work under Steam. Then again, I have several games that will work that are not in the list of Steam linux games | 14:16 |
| Brandano | Like Oblivion and Skyrim | 14:16 |
| ikonia | Brandano: right so again "only a few work" is not a "working solution" | 14:16 |
| ikonia | try to think about what you are advising the user | 14:17 |
| ikonia | if you say "steam works great under wine" he goes out and installs it, downloads some games and it doesn't work, you've just wasted his money | 14:17 |
| ikonia | it's clear he's asking about the end to end expeirence, rather than just the gui | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | Brandano. why do you need wine if steam games will run natively in Linux ? | 14:18 |
| Brandano | I assumed he meant the original steam client for Linux. If he knows what Wine is, I imagine he knows Wine is not an unfallible solution. | 14:18 |
| ikonia | Brandano: you'd be very surprised, | 14:19 |
| ikonia | Brandano: lots of people know what wine does but do not appreciate how far away from a solution it is | 14:20 |
| daniel_ | hi | 14:20 |
| daniel_ | :D | 14:20 |
| Brandano | BluesKaj: I had that setup before the steam client for linux ever came out. And as I mentioned, there's still some games that will work under Wine, but are not in the list of games available for Linux in Steam | 14:20 |
| Brandano | Oddly enough there's still enough reason to have both the native client and an instance running under Wine both installed at the same time. The problem is that you must make sure only one runs at any time | 14:21 |
| iliv | hi, where can I change tmpfs configuration on 12.04.3 LTS? It's not in fstab, I grepped files in /etc/ recursively for tmpfs and I don't really see anything that sets up tmpfs on /run. | 14:22 |
| sandman13 | sorry if this is the wrong channel but is there an alternative to MS Sql server management studio? | 14:22 |
| sandman13 | for ubuntu | 14:22 |
| ikonia | mysql workbench ? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | sandman13: interactive cli | 14:22 |
| BluesKaj | Brandano. , that's the distinction that one should mention at the outset when talking about wine a steam , otherwise it's confusing | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | and | 14:23 |
| hs366 | how can i find the right PPA for a software ? | 14:26 |
| ikonia | hs366: what do you mean ? | 14:27 |
| hs366 | like wireshark : i found ppa:pi-rho/security and ppa:dreibh/ppa | 14:27 |
| ikonia | hs366: there may not be one, you have to know the PPA / search the PPA's | 14:27 |
| hs366 | its a bit confusing for me as new ubuntu user | 14:27 |
| ikonia | there is not a PPA for "everything" | 14:27 |
| hs366 | ok | 14:27 |
| ikonia | hs366: I'd advise HUGE caution against using PPA's though | 14:28 |
| hs366 | sure | 14:28 |
| hs366 | i usually add from launchpad | 14:29 |
| hs366 | but how do you trust a PPA | 14:29 |
| ikonia | I don't trust any PPA to be honest | 14:29 |
| ikonia | or at least very few | 14:29 |
| hs366 | is there any source or list | 14:29 |
| ikonia | no, as there are too many PPA's and no control over them | 14:29 |
| hs366 | ok | 14:29 |
| hs366 | ikonia, Thx for advice | 14:30 |
| ikonia | no problem | 14:30 |

| hs366 | lol | 14:31 |
| === dean is now known as dean|away | ||
| Brandano | you should check with the software maintainer if there's an "official" ppa for it | 14:31 |
| Brandano | I mean, if you know you want software X, you trust it, and the official page suggests a ppa, chances are it will be safe | 14:32 |
| hs366 | i c | 14:32 |
| Brandano | No assurance, though, and especially on complex stuff it might mess up things | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | !launchpad | 14:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | 14:33 |
| ikonia | to be honest, I find a lot of the "official" ones are terrible | 14:33 |
| Shuro2 | ok maybe another question: on boot, cryptroot calls the command "/sbin/lvm vgchange -a y --sysinit" which is activating my volume-groups & logical-volumes. But it seems that it didn't create any mapper files like /dev/mapper/vgtest-root. Did someone know why that is so? | 14:33 |
| Brandano | Wine is one such cases, comes to think of it | 14:33 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: that suggests there are no logical volumes defined | 14:33 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: that command only activates the volume group - not the volumes | 14:33 |
| Brandano | ikonia: my use of quotes there was not random. official ppa is an oximoron | 14:34 |
| GhostWolf | hello | 14:34 |
| Shuro2 | ikonia: not quite right: output from "/sbin/lvm vgchange -a y --sysinit" is: "3 logical volume(s) in volume group 'vg_test' now active" | 14:35 |
| ikonia | you don't activate volumes | 14:35 |
| ikonia | vgchange is just the volume group | 14:36 |
| _root_ | in ubuntu 12.04.3; Do we still declare the static configs in /etc/network/interfaces like post-up route add GATEWAY dev eth0 post-up route add default gw GATEWAY broadcast x.x.x.x ??????? | 14:36 |
| coventry` | Is there a package which brings in sane defaults for laptop acpi keys (sleep, switch to vga display, volume, etc.)? | 14:36 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| ikonia | Shuro2: but I see where you are coming from, activating the group controls the availability of the logical volumes | 14:36 |
| Shuro2 | ikonia: afaik it's also activating the volumes. at least in every distribution i'm working with lvm (grml, debian) | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: I think that's a just a wording conflict, rather than an actual difference, I see what you mean | 14:37 |
| xeberdee | Dashboard dissapeared, so I followed a forum to get it back. Used 'unity --reset' and I'm now on command promt instead of gnome desktop. How can I get back into gnome? | 14:37 |
| Shuro2 | also the script "cryptroot" is not from me, it's included within ubuntu and should work | 14:37 |
| Shuro2 | okay, sorry. English is not my native language | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: no no, it's fine | 14:38 |
| WiGust | Can anybody give a link about users in Linux? I want to understand why exist users like "mail", "sync", "kdm" | 14:39 |
| ikonia | WiGust: they run processes, such as mail, or the kdm display manager | 14:39 |
| Shuro2 | the problem: it fails on finding the root lvm and halts the startup. sitting here quite some hours figuring out why he didnt create the mappers | 14:39 |
| richringer | I'm getting an error 500 in juju --upload-tools under ubuntu 12.10 how can I fix this please? | 14:39 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: I'm wondering if it's activating before it's decrypted ? | 14:40 |
| WiGust | ikonia: ok. Can I control them via "su <user>"? | 14:40 |
| ikonia | WiGust: what do you mean "control" them ? | 14:40 |
| coventry` | Looks like the answer to my question may be the package acpi-support. | 14:40 |
| xeberdee | How can I reset gnome desktop. I used a comman unity --reset that boots my PC into command promt. | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | richringer: what does the error mean? | 14:41 |
| WiGust | ikonia: writing commands in terminal from their names | 14:41 |
| ikonia | WiGust: why do you want to do that ? they locked system accounts | 14:41 |
| ikonia | WiGust: why do you want to do things as users you (until a minute ago) didn't know what they did | 14:41 |
| Shuro2 | ikonia: nah. first i enter my password, than the activating-output. and then the error. Here's a "screenshot": https://www.dropbox.com/s/pykcbusltgl07q6/2013-11-29%2013.14.09.jpg | 14:42 |

| ikonia | WiGust: why do you want to do this ? | 14:43 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: that looks very odd | 14:43 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: more so as it tries to continue after failing to find the mapper device | 14:44 |
| glitsj16 | coventry`: correct, you'll need acpi daemon as well if you don't already have that, which is in the acpid package | 14:44 |
| Bastian_b | Hello I would like to change transparency of a window, is there a way to do it using xfc4? | 14:44 |
| coventry` | glitsj16: Yeah, I have acpid, and implemented the sleep function myself before I noticed I'd strayed into yak-shaving territory. :-) | 14:45 |
| glitsj16 | :) | 14:45 |
| WiGust | ikonia: thanks, just for fun :) really | 14:46 |
| ikonia | WiGust: then you don't do it | 14:46 |
| Shuro2 | ikonia: yeah it continue after that, here's the line in the code 'echo "ROOT=$NEWROOT" >>/conf/param.conf' content of $NEWROOT is set above: 'NEWROOT=${cmdline_root:-/dev/mapper/$cryptlvm}' | 14:47 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: that part makes sense, and the error makes sense if the device file is not present | 14:47 |
| ikonia | Shuro2: it is just odd that the device file should not be present | 14:47 |

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

| hitsujiTMO | Danato: he means he wants to ensure you checked with the latest bios. once you have updated and tested. just post and say that you've tested and that theres no change. and post the output of that command too. that's all | 15:16 |
| damel | tovarish : maybe asus-nb-wmi/backlight/ ? | 15:16 |
| shadej | how to setup env't variable for j2ee? | 15:16 |
| tovarish | damel, yes it's ok it should work | 15:16 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO: jst wanted to make sure. thanks again :) | 15:16 |
| damel | tovarish : what should work ? | 15:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel? back light issues? | 15:17 |
| xeberdee | BluesKaj: I've done it before, but I'm still not sure what the problem is. If my xorg can't find the driver to use for graphic card, which might be correct as it just updated, or if the config is wiped due to the unity --reset. | 15:17 |
| tovarish | damel, try to write into brightness or actual_brightness | 15:17 |
| damel | does nothing | 15:17 |
| damel | already tried that | 15:17 |
| tovarish | you succeed in reading it ? | 15:18 |
| damel | yup | 15:18 |
| damel | 34 | 15:18 |
| damel | but my screen is at 100 | 15:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: can you say again what the exact issue is? | 15:18 |
| tovarish | do you have tried different values ? | 15:18 |
| tovarish | you have two backlight folders | 15:18 |
| tovarish | have you test the two ? | 15:18 |
| tovarish | oups sorrym only one | 15:19 |
| tovarish | the other is for keyboard | 15:19 |
| damel | hitsujiTM0 : I cant change my brightness on my laptop screen. The number changes, but the screen always stays at 100% | 15:19 |
| tovarish | if you read the file you get back the number you wrote ? | 15:19 |
| damel | I tested the default backlight folders | 15:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: can you pastebin the output of: ls -l /sys/class/backlight | 15:19 |
| damel | hitsujiTM0 : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6494483/ | 15:21 |
| damel | so yeah..I tested the default backlights, which did not work | 15:21 |
| damel | following tutorials on the internet, I added something to grub so that it could see ausus-nb-wmi | 15:22 |
| damel | my 'real' backlight | 15:22 |
| tovarish | when you wrote into brightness, and read after, do you get what you wrote? | 15:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: and echo 10 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/asus-nb-wmi/brightness does nothing? | 15:22 |
| BluesKaj | xeberdee. try this , sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , not a unity user , so not sure if this will work | 15:23 |
| damel | hitsujiTM0 : it changes the number in the file | 15:23 |
| Shuro2 | running around and added dm-mod, but no help at all :/ lvm2 still didn't create the device-mappers | 15:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: can you also pastebin the output of: ls -l /sys/class/leds | 15:23 |
| damel | and yes tovarish, it does save the number | 15:23 |
| tovarish | damel, that's impressive | 15:23 |
| tovarish | and is actual_brightness modified according to the number you wrote ? | 15:24 |
| damel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6494504/ | 15:24 |
| damel | lol...i know tovarish. thats why I'm lost | 15:24 |
| damel | normally everything 'should' work fine | 15:24 |
| damel | but its always at 100% | 15:24 |
| damel | and well that hurts my eyes if the screen is white | 15:24 |
| tovarish | my dear, I'm sad for you | 15:25 |
| damel | lucky I code in dark grey ;) | 15:25 |
| tovarish | me too dark grey, black bg | 15:25 |
| damel | but sometimes its just TOO bright | 15:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: can you pastebin the output of: ls -l /sys/devices/platform | 15:26 |
| damel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6494521/ | 15:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: nothing interesting there: what cpu do you have? | 15:27 |
| damel | i7 | 15:28 |
| damel | 3rd gen | 15:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: pastebin ls -l /sys/devices | 15:28 |
| damel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6494528/ | 15:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: pastebin ls -l /sys/devices/pc0000:00 | 15:29 |
| damel | ls: cannot access /sys/devices/pc0000:00: No such file or directory | 15:30 |
| damel | nm...i corrected it | 15:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel sorry forgot the i | 15:30 |
| damel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6494542/ | 15:30 |
| damel | no problem..just saw it late ;) | 15:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: find /sys/devices/pci0000:00 -name brightness | 15:31 |
| damel | nothing | 15:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: damn. thats quite unusual. what kernel are you using? | 15:32 |
| damel | the latest i think | 15:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: i'd almost try the latest mainline to see if theres any change | 15:33 |
| damel | 3.11.0-13-generic | 15:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: well , latest stable mainline | 15:33 |
| damel | ok...not sure how to do that hehe | 15:34 |
| damel | I do an apt-get for the file | 15:34 |
| damel | that should install it right ? | 15:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: have a look here and try 3.12 saucy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 15:34 |
| damel | ok..cool | 15:34 |
| damel | thx | 15:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: its 3 files you need to download and install | 15:34 |
| lotuspsychje | maybe its a brightness bug? makes no sense dconf dont wanna change values | 15:34 |

| damel | see if it helps | 15:39 |
| damel | thx for your help :) | 15:39 |
| web_knows | ikonia, Does that still sound rude? | 15:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel: if this doesn't work you'll want to report a bug | 15:39 |
| ikonia | web_knows: yeah a bit | 15:39 |
| damel | sounds good...I will ask you how to do that later if it does not work ;) lol | 15:40 |
| zykotick9 | sgerbino: did you install the driver from nvidia.com? | 15:41 |
| sgerbino | zykotick9: no i installed through jockey | 15:41 |
| zykotick9 | sgerbino: oh, actually, are you getting NO consoles in F1-F6 or are they just crappy resolution? | 15:41 |
| sgerbino | zykotick9: its hard to explain but its like my tty1-6 are "jittery" I see the text but its like shaking | 15:41 |
| sgerbino | zykotick9: i downloaded the nvidia-current package in 13.10 | 15:42 |
| zykotick9 | sgerbino: that's a new one for me... i have NO idea. best of luck. | 15:42 |
| sgerbino | you have nvidia working right? | 15:42 |
| damel | hitsujiTM0 : I will install these, go run some errends and I will bb in 30mins. If you still around then I will let you know how it went :) if not, thx alot for your help | 15:43 |
| zykotick9 | sgerbino: well... i don't bother fixing the resolution (though i used to) on my non-free nvidia box... but they're "functional" (crappy resolution though) | 15:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | damel np | 15:43 |
| sgerbino | i see | 15:43 |
| sgerbino | i've had this problem for the last 2 releases :P | 15:44 |
| sgerbino | never been able to get it right, except for using nouveau | 15:44 |
| sgerbino | and having weak 3d acceleration if any | 15:44 |
| zykotick9 | sgerbino: using consoles with nvidia propretary is a giant hassel.... with nouveau works great. | 15:44 |
| sgerbino | yeah :| | 15:45 |
| bcuraboy | hey guys.is there any chance that i could get cover-thumbnailer working in nautilus 3.4.2? | 15:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | sgerbino: maybe you could try different vga= kernel params. | 15:47 |
| sgerbino | hitsujiTMO: i did try that before, i forget the commands, but i listed all the applicable modes for my video card and tried each one editing the grub file right | 15:48 |
| sgerbino | hitsujiTMO: interesting to note, when I boot up BEFORE X server, everything is perfect, once X loads up everything goes to hell | 15:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | sgerbino: thats sounds a little odd alright | 15:49 |
| zykotick9 | hitsujiTMO: fyi, vga= has been deprecated for a while now... using some advanced grub options is the new vga= ;) | 15:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | zykotick9: yes i know. its just the nvidia driver does not support kms | 15:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | zykotick9: wait no i'm wrong they do. just not the built in kernel implementation | 15:51 |
| sgerbino | hitsujiTMO, zykotick9: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/94559675/VIDEO0003.mp4 heres a video of this bizarreness | 15:57 |
| zykotick9 | sgerbino: i've been searching for the answer to how to get higher resolution in console (with nvidia graphics), but i'm not finding the link (i wish i hadn't deleted my notes on this matter right now), but as a hint... look into uvesafb | 15:57 |
| MajSlayer7777 | ops sorry Brandano was in some other room, yeah on firefox, i'm pretty sure i did | 15:57 |
| MajSlayer7777 | so far chrome is the only browser i found to be quite reliable as far as flash goes | 15:58 |
| MajSlayer7777 | being flash is no longer supported for linux | 15:58 |
| sgerbino | zykotick9: i don't think its my resolution tho, its like perfect except for the jitter | 15:58 |
| tovarish | flash works fine under linux | 15:58 |
| Rory | tovarish: Adobe are no longer updating it, including security patches | 15:59 |
| tovarish | Rory, seriously? | 15:59 |
| Rory | tovarish: for about 2 years I think? | 15:59 |
| Rory | tovarish: I might be wrong on the exact timeframe | 15:59 |
| zykotick9 | sgerbino: ya, i've NOT seen that issue myself... i've got NO suggestions. best of luck! | 15:59 |
| sgerbino | zykotick9: thanks :D | 15:59 |
| tovarish | do you mean thaqn in 2 years we will be doomed | 15:59 |

| Absolute0 | What is an adequate amount of hard disc space necessary for a clean ubuntu install that will be used for python web development? | 16:04 |
| Rory | tovarish: That package is out of date because Adobe hasn't supported Flash for linux since february 2012 as I said | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | Rory. it still works | 16:05 |
| Rory | I didn't say it didn't work | 16:05 |
| tovarish | Rory, yes, i didn't know that, and i panick because i see no decent solution to have flsh except windows | 16:05 |
| Brandano | tovarish: oddly enough Mac users seem to do just fine without | 16:06 |
| tovarish | so ubuntu has "decent" clone of flash? | 16:06 |
| * tovarish suffer | 16:07 | |

| Brandano | IMO "flash" and "decent" don't really fit in the same sentence, but what should I know, I only used to be a flash developer | 16:07 |

| theadmin | tovarish: Adobe said they will mantain the Linux version of Flash for security fixes, but won't add any new features. | 16:11 |

| zykotick9 | xeberdee: fyi, you can use pastebinit from terminal to paste quite easily... | 16:35 |

| xeberdee | zykotick9: thankz | 16:36 |
| xeberdee | s | 16:36 |
| xeberdee | BluesKaj: :) nvidia-current is already the newest version. | 16:36 |
| glitsj16 | damel: tough issue it seems .. just another (wild) guess .. if you have NVIDIA gpu, you could try adding Option "registryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" in the appropriate Device section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 16:37 |
| xeberdee | BluesKaj: thinking that unity --reset has done the correct default setting for 12.04 server. Maybe I need to tell unity toi use a desktop or something? | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | unity is a desktop | 16:39 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: s/desktop/shell/ then yes ;) | 16:39 |

| damel | glitsj16 : I do have NVIDIA gpu...but no xorg.conf file | 16:42 |
| clockworks | i installed ubuntu ontu the stick directly, and it worked until now | 16:42 |

| zykotick9 | clockworks: fdisk doesn't support GPT... | 16:42 |
| clockworks | oh interesting | 16:42 |
| damel | I saw something like that...but when I did not find the file, I stopped trying :) | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9. , yeah , but why ?, a lot of ppl were happy with gnome | 16:42 |
| clockworks | zykotick9: so it isnt some partition table problem | 16:42 |

| clockworks | zykotick9: the problem is i cannot boot into the system anymore, and pressing shift on startup does not show me the grub menu. is there a way to modify the grub thing from another system? | 16:43 |
| clockworks | thans hitsujiTMO | 16:43 |
| glitsj16 | damel: you can generate one to test if it changes anything brightness wise .. use sudo nvidia-xconfig or the nvidia-settings GUI and add that option before rebooting (if you're not already lost all hairs getting your issue fixed heh) | 16:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | clocKwize: try left shift, right shift + esc to get the grub menu | 16:44 |
| clockworks | hitsujiTMO: installing it now | 16:44 |

| clockworks | i always tried right shit | 16:44 |

| smaudet | Hey, guy here with the inodes problems. I've backed up my home directory, I'm ready to try to troubleshoot this ecryptfs issue more thoroughly. Can anyone recommend the best way to migrate my files to a new user account? Should it be just as simple as creating the new user, and dropping the files in? Using Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS | 16:45 |
| clockworks | zykotick9: yes was doing that | 16:45 |
| clockworks | left shift though | 16:45 |
| clockworks | er right shift. let me try left shift | 16:45 |
| zykotick9 | clockworks: i always juse my left shift?!?! | 16:45 |
| clockworks | lol why, right one is much larger | 16:45 |
| glitsj16 | damel: :) it might need that acpi_backlight=vendor param as well, not sure about that though, good luck | 16:46 |
| zykotick9 | clockworks: ;) same size on my keyboard | 16:46 |
| clockworks | hitsujiTMO: gdisk shows it correctly | 16:46 |
| clockworks | so no partition table issue it seems | 16:46 |
| xeberdee | BluesKaj: That's what I'm trying to figure out. I can't log into a desktop anymore after switch to unix nvidia driver and unity --reset | 16:46 |
| clockworks | heh ok zykotick9 | 16:46 |
| clockworks | anyway let me try that | 16:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | so you're using uefi boot right? | 16:46 |
| zykotick9 | clockworks: if you are using GPT, forget about fdisk. use gdisk or parted/gparted. | 16:46 |
| clockworks | thanks will remember that | 16:47 |
| clockworks | somebody should fix fdisk | 16:47 |
| clockworks | or it will die and become part of history | 16:47 |
| damel | glitsj16 : yeah, gotcha. Already added it so there should be no problems there :) | 16:47 |
| damel | should be | 16:47 |
| damel | lol | 16:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | clocKwize: its not broken. fdisk is for mbr, gdisk is for gpt | 16:47 |
| clockworks | k | 16:48 |
| zykotick9 | clockworks: actually fdisk is the WORST choich for partitioning (at least according to "man fdisk") | 16:48 |
| clockworks | lol | 16:48 |
| tovarish | zykotick9, strangely, it's still the best :D | 16:49 |
| zykotick9 | clockworks: for example "fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things..." | 16:50 |
| Brandano | I'd be interested in alternatives to fdisk | 16:51 |
| zykotick9 | Brandano: gdisk, cfdisk, parted, gparted... you have lots to choose from | 16:52 |
| Brandano | Ah, right, sorry | 16:52 |
| Brandano | I forgot parted. Which is what I generally use. Man, I am tired | 16:52 |
| Brandano | I mean, I was thinking parted when you mentioned fdisk | 16:52 |

| theadmin | hitsujiTMO: I just assume from the recommendation on the official Ubuntu wobsite.. | 17:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | theadmin: the biggest cause on non booting usbs that i dealt with here on 13.10 release was that tool. unetbootin or linuxliveusb is far better | 17:13 |

| khoury | Hello people. Im fairly new to ubuntu, or linux and servers in general. I have a problem involving my ssh keys.. | 17:16 |
| khoury | Trying to deploy from my local machine to my ubuntu server. | 17:16 |
| khoury | Using Capistrano, it's a rails application. | 17:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | xeberdee: try startx if you don't have a display open | 17:17 |
| antoine | quit | 17:17 |
| zykotick9 | hitsujiTMO: i'm not sure if startx is configured to work OOTB in ubuntu? "sudo service lightdm start" might make more sense? xeberdee | 17:17 |
| khoury | Anyway, here a stackoverflow question i posted if anyone could help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20288969/capistrano-netsshauthenticationfailed | 17:18 |
| jahongir | Hi | 17:18 |
| khoury | Basically, I can't figure out how to give my ubuntu server the right access. They keys might not be configured, maybe I have missed a step some where? | 17:18 |
| khoury | :s | 17:19 |
| CookieM | hello jahongir | 17:19 |
| theadmin | khoury: Did you run ssh-keygen and make the keys? | 17:19 |
| Hetal_ | I need some help with an application using php | 17:19 |
| khoury | theadmin: I followed githubs guide for generating keys | 17:19 |
| Hetal_ | php -S 0.0.0.0:81 index.php | 17:19 |
| theadmin | khoury: Ah, okays | 17:19 |
| Hetal_ | It says -S isnt an option | 17:20 |
| khoury | So I do have a key | 17:20 |
| khoury | And I added it to my bitbucket deploy keys | 17:20 |
| Hetal_ | If I take out -S, then it says that there is no input file | 17:20 |
| zykotick9 | khoury: did you use ssh-copy-id to copy the key to the server? | 17:20 |
| pahaloom | anyone having problems getting lenovo T430 bluetooth to work? lsusb tells me it is ID 0a5c:21e6 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0 [ThinkPad] | 17:20 |
| khoury | Hmm Yes, wait I did that just a minute ago but I dont know if it succeeded, let me check. | 17:20 |
| theadmin | Hetal_: -S is only present since PHP 5.4, which Ubuntu version are you running? | 17:21 |
| Hetal_ | 13.04 | 17:21 |
| theadmin | Hetal_: Hm, should be there. But port 81 is priveleged, you won't be able to listen on it | 17:21 |
| theadmin | Hetal_: (not without sudo, anyway, and you shouldn't run that as root) | 17:21 |
| Hetal_ | Then should I just change thee port? | 17:22 |
| theadmin | Hetal_: You simply need to run "php -S 0.0.0.0:8080", without the "index.php" bit, in a folder which you want to be your servers' root. | 17:22 |
| khoury | zykotick9: Can I check if that is done some how? | 17:22 |
| Hetal_ | -S isnt a valid option | 17:22 |

| theadmin | Where did you even | 17:24 |
| Hetal_ | 4.4.9 | 17:24 |
| khoury | zykotick9: Well I do have the keys, but for example if I do a ssh git@github.com from my server, it asks for my passphrase, which it shouldn't if im deploying. | 17:24 |
| Hetal_ | Thats what it says | 17:24 |
| khoury | Then if I enter the pass, i get the message: PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 | 17:24 |

| rocks | Is smartctl reliable for telling disk errors? | 18:08 |
| genii | rocks: Might want also to enable SMART in your bios if it isn't already on in there. So that even before booting it should say something like "Imminent hard drive failure, back up your data" | 18:09 |
| rocks | I have smart enabled in bios | 18:09 |

| rocks | it has UUIDs in fstab | 18:10 |

| kerin | +1. even if you could install the way you're asking you'd be screwed if grub didn't detect something correctly | 18:26 |
| Brandano | get someone to lend you one | 18:26 |
| kerin | and if you're doing something unusual during the install, a grub-related issue is more likely | 18:26 |
| Brandano | maybe you have one around and don't realize it, like the one that comes on some cheap android tablets | 18:27 |
| nas_ | onboard virtual keyboard | 18:27 |
| kerin | nas_, I assume he means he needs a keyboard at boot to select boot volume/specify kernel params like nomodeset | 18:29 |

| xeberdee | Problems with NVIDIA, no unity - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6495496/ | 18:53 |
| Ilmen | Even portable programs (those that don't need external files)? | 18:53 |
| ilikegnome | xeberdee tried switching to gnome still to no avail | 18:53 |
| Ilmen | well, thanks for the replies :) | 18:54 |
| xeberdee | ilikegnome: what do you mean? | 18:54 |
| xeberdee | ilikegnome: I thought unity was gnome | 18:54 |
| ilikegnome | no two different environments xeberdee | 18:55 |
| Beldar | xeberdee, It runs on top of gnome 3 as a compiz plugin. | 18:55 |
| xeberdee | Beldar: Ah, ok so maube my ccsm is broken? | 18:56 |
| ilikegnome | I've even removed my xorg.conf file and only one display works | 18:56 |

| xeberdee | ilikegnome: what's the isue? | 18:57 |
| smaudet | Ilmen, not sure why you'd want to do that, if you want to run linux, you want to use ext or something, we only use ntfs to make windows happy :) | 18:57 |
| === servlsuser is now known as Stefan2 | ||
| Beldar | xeberdee, One can run specific unity and compiz resets per releases be sure to have the correct one, nvidia users do have problems. Be specific of the problems to the channel if you want help though. | 18:57 |
| ilikegnome | xeberdee i'm running three displays off three graphics cards (gtx 780) and only one works | 18:58 |
| ilikegnome | so 3-way sli | 18:58 |
| === Stefan2 is now known as Guest55783 | ||
| xeberdee | Beldar: what do you need to know other than what I put in http://paste.ubuntu.com/6495496/ | 18:59 |
| smaudet | ilikegnome, I don't know nearly enough about sli, but could the problem perhaps be the sli? | 18:59 |
| smaudet | ilikegnome, i.e. from what I remember sli is a port system for the graphics cards that creates 'slave' cards that don't output displays | 18:59 |
| Beldar | xeberdee, Not an area I'm best at the channel would want to know what is actually happening, and exactly what drivers you have installed | 19:00 |
| ilikegnome | only one display works, to clarify... smaudet i dont know this is my first machine with sli... shouldnt be nvidia-settings recognizes the displays | 19:00 |
| smaudet | if that's true, that would probably be your problem | 19:00 |
| ilikegnome | smaudet idk how to disable sli on ubuntu, need it for windows though, running a dual-boot setup | 19:00 |
| xeberdee | I have nvidia_current | 19:00 |
| smaudet | ilikegnome, oh so are you trying to run one desktop or 3 displays? | 19:01 |
| ilikegnome | I have nvidia drivers from xorg-edgers ppa | 19:01 |
| ilikegnome | running three displays smaudet | 19:01 |
| smaudet | Xorg actually lets you run three displays, which is different from one desktop on 3 monitors | 19:01 |
| Beldar | xeberdee, Generally, having that info available is good but just posting it is backwards for help is all. | 19:02 |
| ilikegnome | yeah trying to run 3 seperate desktops on 3 displays no luck thus far | 19:02 |
| xeberdee | I have nvidia_current, I have no desktop environment, no browser, bad res too. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6495496/ | 19:02 |
| ilikegnome | same xeberdee | 19:02 |
| smaudet | ilikegnome, well I don't know if its possible. I would disable the sli just for testing purposes | 19:02 |
| xeberdee | xeberdee: can anybody help me get back into unity. | 19:02 |
| ilikegnome | xeberdee delete xorg,conf | 19:03 |
| ilikegnome | xorg.conf* | 19:03 |
| smaudet | if thats your issue then windows isn't smart enough to dual boot this machine, because windows can't run 3 displays... | 19:03 |
| smaudet | But that'd be the first thing I'd try | 19:03 |
| smaudet | Or maybe there's a software option to turn of the sli? | 19:03 |
| smaudet | :) | 19:03 |
| smaudet | off* | 19:04 |
| ilikegnome | smaudet idk how to disable sli... windows can indeed run 3 displays doing it now | 19:04 |
| smaudet | ilikegnome, do you have three start buttons? | 19:04 |
| ilikegnome | no | 19:04 |
| smaudet | then it can't | 19:04 |
| smaudet | that's one display | 19:04 |
| ilikegnome | it can if sli is disabled, one monitor and my tv have a start button, i'm using nvidia surround, just cant figure out how to disable sli under ubunty | 19:05 |
| ilikegnome | ubuntu* | 19:05 |
| Guest55783 | I need to ask something | 19:06 |
| smaudet | ilikegnome, ok well then that is probably the issue, sorry I don't know enough about sli, try ##hardware maybe? Or go ask #xorg or something | 19:06 |
| ilikegnome | ok will try smaudet | 19:06 |
| smaudet | Nvidia-settings is usually smart enough to do one display, 3 screens though | 19:06 |
| smaudet | so you just need to figure out how to turn off sli :) | 19:06 |
| ilikegnome | yeah one display is working using it now... yeah going to try to do so | 19:06 |
| xeberdee | ilikegnome: my old xorg.conf was tiny, I don't even think it is the one used for config of x. The one at /etc/X11/xorg.conf yes? | 19:07 |
| ilikegnome | yeah | 19:07 |

| ikonia | does it NEED the app, or can it just be configured | 19:10 |
| Stefan48 | I am noob,I don't know,but I think it needs an app | 19:10 |
| ikonia | Stefan48: then I'd suggest talking to the provider and asking if/how they support linux | 19:10 |
| Stefan48 | maybe | 19:11 |
| Stefan48 | Do you heard for Wine | 19:11 |
| ikonia | yes | 19:11 |

| Beldar | ah | 19:18 |
| Beldar | dannymichel, Hard to say, an unanswerable questions at the least. | 19:18 |

| dannymichel | LTS and 13.10 and 14.04 Beldar ? | 19:19 |
| dannymichel | why 3 installs Beldar ? | 19:20 |
| Beldar | dannymichel, why not is my answer? | 19:20 |
| Beldar | I run all releases at some point I just don;t remove them always | 19:21 |
| ilikegnome | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6495631/ | 19:21 |
| dannymichel | you ever use 'sudo update-manager -d' Beldar ? should i or is it recommended just to fresh install? | 19:22 |
| xeberdee | ilikegnome: my old xorg.conf (when ssys worked) looked like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6495644/ | 19:23 |
| ilikegnome | do you have an nvidia card xeberdee? | 19:24 |
| Beldar | dannymichel, I never upgrade, that would take about 3-4 hours here and I have okay download speed, I can fresh install and have it the same in less than and hour. | 19:24 |
| dannymichel | gotcha. my DL is 50mbps. how does that compare to yours Beldar ? | 19:24 |
| Hassen | most of linux-live-cd maker softwares contain echo amenu where there a persistence option(here: http://s27.postimg.org/dxzebuiwj/Capture.png ) how much memry should i choose? | 19:24 |

| Hassen | *contain a menu where there is a* | 19:25 |
| dannymichel | i wasnt aware this was a contest ilikegnome | 19:25 |

| Beldar | kbs | 19:25 |
| dannymichel | gotcha | 19:25 |
| xeberdee | ilikegnome: yes, a quadro fx 3700 | 19:25 |
| ilikegnome | it wasn't i was just trolling | 19:26 |
| dannymichel | gotcha | 19:26 |
| xeberdee | ilikegnome: what I mean is, i'm not even sure that the xorg.conf at /etc/X11/ is the only conf file being used by unity. | 19:26 |
| dannymichel | cool cool | 19:26 |
| Beldar | dannymichel, even if I had that speed I would still not upgrade. | 19:26 |
| Hassen | join #linux | 19:26 |
| ilikegnome | xeberdee try using nvidia-settings, also which drivers are you using? | 19:26 |
| Beldar | Hassen, /join | 19:27 |
| Hassen | bedahr, yeah missed it,but most of linux-live-cd maker softwares contain a menu where there is a persistence option(here: http://s27.postimg.org/dxzebuiwj/Capture.png ) how much memory should i choose? | 19:27 |
| xeberdee | ilikegnome: drivers is nvidia_current, what is nvidia-settings? | 19:27 |
| dannymichel | i only have 2 USB drives and one has OS X on it and the other has Windows 8.1 on it. no blank DVDs. i do however have a 12.04 CD so i used that to install Ubuntu so im upgrading Beldar | 19:27 |
| ilikegnome | xeberdee, the configuration utility for nvidia-cards, sort of like nvidia control panel on windows, run it as root, change your settings so they suit you, and save the settings to your X config file | 19:28 |
| dannymichel | http://i.imgur.com/eXTb5pU.png Beldar | 19:28 |
| Beldar | Hassen, persistence is a usb load option genrally limited ti 4 gigs in apps, however you can have a casper-rw partition and have much more, your choice in the end on size. | 19:28 |
| dsfldsfldsfdsf | exit | 19:29 |
| Beldar | dannymichel, I would not upgrade without cloning the original is all. | 19:29 |
| glitsj16 | ilikegnome: why run nvidia-settings as root? | 19:29 |
| Hassen | Beldar, who much should i choose if i want to install ubuntu? | 19:29 |
| dannymichel | i have back-in-time backups Beldar | 19:30 |
| ilikegnome | glitsj16, your settings won't get saved if not running as root | 19:30 |
| Beldar | Hassen, You don;t need persistent to install. | 19:30 |
| Hassen | 0 then? | 19:30 |
| Beldar | dannymichel, Does that backup root? | 19:30 |
| glitsj16 | ilikegnome: never had to do that as root .. ymmv | 19:31 |

| savr | useradd: invalid option -- 'a' | 20:48 |
| millerti_ | ikonia: I cannot open the package manager. | 20:48 |
| ikonia | savr: it's not a valid option | 20:48 |
| millerti_ | I cannot get X11 to work. | 20:48 |
| millerti_ | So I need to use apt-get. | 20:48 |
| savr | why is the -a option invalid on ubuntu? | 20:48 |
| ikonia | millerti_: there are command line versions, | 20:48 |
| ikonia | such as aprt get | 20:48 |
| savr | and what replaces it? | 20:48 |
| ikonia | savr: it's an invalid option on any distro | 20:48 |
| ikonia | savr: what are you trying to do | 20:48 |
| savr | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-add-user-to-group/ | 20:49 |
| savr | I'm trying to add an existing user to a group | 20:49 |
| legoeater4 | if i put ubuntu on my acer aspire 4250 will it have wifi still? (when i installed debian it did not) | 20:49 |
| ikonia | savr: READ the text | 20:49 |
| ikonia | savr: usermod -a not useradd -a | 20:49 |
| Hassen | omg.... | 20:49 |
| geoffmcc | savr: usermod not useradd | 20:49 |
| ikonia | legoeater4: if your wireless card is supported | 20:50 |
| savr | rotfl | 20:50 |
| savr | ok thanks | 20:50 |
| maxploy | ikonia: i just created a folder in my home directory with winscp. its called: /test/ - then i check it on putty and i cant see this folder. the same on the other direction. i can create also on putty the folder /test" and put a file inside but i dont see the folder or the file on winscp. its the same server, the same folder. i really dont know what i doing wrong there | 20:50 |
| legoeater4 | How do i check if it is supported | 20:50 |
| geoffmcc | savr: assuming your trying to add an existing user to an existing group | 20:50 |
| bonhoeffer | back -- now without kids . . . real trouble -- i hit the ctl+alt+f1 and can't get back to x windows | 20:50 |
| ikonia | maxploy: ok - so I suspect the difference you are saying is your real home directory and the ftp root home directory (possibly) | 20:50 |
| Sh1G3rU | maxploy, have you logged in the same user or even the same machine? | 20:50 |
| Hassen | can't make any sort of linux live cd downloaded ubuntu 3 times,same errors,and fedora 16 is screwed a well.. | 20:50 |
| bonhoeffer | just trying to figure out if i have a software or hardware issue | 20:50 |
| bekks | bonhoeffer: then hit ctrl alt f7 | 20:50 |
| Hassen | i wonder what the hech is going on with this laptop | 20:51 |
| bonhoeffer | bekks: no love there | 20:51 |
| maxploy | its the same user, the same mashine, its absoluteley the same place where i create the folder | 20:51 |
| Hassen | *heck* | 20:51 |
| bonhoeffer | no responsiveness -- pretty sure this is the same problem | 20:51 |
| maxploy | home directory and the ftp root home directory, this could be the answer! | 20:51 |
| ikonia | maxploy: it's an easy mistake to make, ftp will normally log you in relative to the ftp root directory | 20:51 |
| bonhoeffer | should i do a hard reboot? | 20:52 |
| maxploy | i can see the html folder on both programs, putty and winscp. when i create a file in html folder with putty or winscp i can see the file in html folder with the other tool. | 20:52 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: first thing is to get your disk read/write again | 20:53 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia: but i can't even get to a prompt | 20:53 |
| ikonia | maxploy: ok, lets do a little test | 20:53 |
| maxploy | k | 20:53 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: right, rebooting should force an fsck to fix it | 20:53 |
| ikonia | maxploy: login to the machine via putty - and do "touch bigtest" | 20:53 |
| ikonia | maxploy: first and only command | 20:53 |
| ikonia | maxploy: then log out | 20:54 |
| maxploy | okay, wait please | 20:54 |
| ikonia | maxploy: let me know when you are done | 20:54 |
| bonhoeffer | back in again | 20:54 |
| maxploy | ikinia: done | 20:55 |
| maxploy | ikonia: done :> | 20:56 |
| ikonia | maxploy: ok, now login via ftp, I assume you don't see "bigtest" file | 20:56 |
| hafdh | hi | 20:56 |
| bonhoeffer_ | https://gist.github.com/tbbooher/7711901 | 20:57 |
| bonhoeffer | does that syslog tell anyone anything? | 20:57 |
| maxploy | ikonia: no bigtest file there win sftp connection | 20:57 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: hfs ?? | 20:57 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: nothing critical in that log | 20:57 |
| ikonia | maxploy: ok, now in sftp upload a file, one with an obvious name if possible | 20:58 |
| maxploy | ikonia: done - now check with putty again? | 20:59 |
| ikonia | maxploy: not quite | 20:59 |
| ikonia | maxploy: what was the name of the file you uploaded (the file name EXACTLY as it is) | 20:59 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia: hmm . . . and the filesystem is not read only -- i can touch a file in the root directory | 20:59 |
| maxploy | FILE.jpg | 20:59 |
| bonhoeffer | any other way to see the last errors -- what other log should i check? | 20:59 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: why are you using hfs ? | 21:00 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: that's a bad file system to run linux on | 21:00 |
| bonhoeffer | hmm. am i running linux on that? | 21:00 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: I do'nt know - are you ? | 21:00 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: that log suggests you've got a hfs file system | 21:00 |
| bonhoeffer | no -- partition type is 0x83 | 21:01 |
| bonhoeffer | ext4 | 21:01 |
| bonhoeffer | i think that is an external drive | 21:01 |
| ice9 | how to perform filesystem check for encrypted USB hard drive? | 21:01 |
| ikonia | partition type has nothing to do with it | 21:01 |
| ikonia | file system is key | 21:01 |
| bonhoeffer | sorry -- i got you | 21:01 |
| bonhoeffer | ext4 | 21:01 |
| bonhoeffer | yeah -- i have a 1 tb external drive that is hfs+ | 21:02 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: ok - unplug the hfs disk (if it's external) and reboot, see if that warning goes away | 21:02 |
| maxploy | ikonia: the filename is FILE.jpg | 21:02 |
| maxploy | ikonia: but just help bonhoeffer first, i have time :) | 21:02 |
| MartynKeigher | hey all. im stting up FTP using vsftpd and so far its working, and the guest user is limited to its folder. so that good. trouble now is i cant WRITE Data to the folder and file transfer wont work. what am i missing? thank you | 21:02 |
| ikonia | maxploy: ok, login to your ubuntu machine via putty and run this command "sudo find / -name FILE.jpg -print 2>/dev/null" | 21:02 |
| ikonia | maxploy: it will take a while to return a result, so give it time | 21:02 |
| ikonia | MartynKeigher: probably just file system permissions | 21:03 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia: will do . . . | 21:03 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: apologies, but just want to be sure and make sure you're starting from a "good" point | 21:03 |
| bonhoeffer | only ext4 now -- but how can i see the error -- i don't think it was the hfs+ error that caused the crash | 21:03 |
| bonhoeffer | or terminal shutdown | 21:03 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: can I see your syslog now please | 21:03 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: what error can you see ? | 21:04 |
| maxploy | ikonia: there we have the problem i i will recieve a little shirtstorm now, centos runs on this server, no ubuntu. :/ i just remember the good old ubuntu chat because i use it on my laptop. | 21:04 |
| ikonia | maxploy: ok, then take it to #centos | 21:04 |
| bonhoeffer | http://gist.github.com/7711985 | 21:04 |
| MartynKeigher | ok, i created my 'guest' user account using the following command: useradd -d /srv/ftp guest | 21:04 |
| MartynKeigher | so how can i give owenership of that fodler to guest? | 21:04 |
| MartynKeigher | chown guest /srv/ftp ??? | 21:05 |
| MartynKeigher | OR chown guest /srv/ftp/ ??? | 21:05 |
| bonhoeffer | how big of a deal is this: Nov 29 16:00:54 oxford kernel: [ 388.072297] [drm:gen6_sanitize_pm] *ERROR* Power management discrepancy: | 21:05 |
| geirha | MartynKeigher: yes, or chown guest: /srv/ftp to also set group ownership | 21:05 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: nothing really | 21:06 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: may explain the dimming screen, but certainly not the crash | 21:06 |
| MartynKeigher | ok great. i actually created a GUESTS group (prob dont need it though) so i can just assing the user correct? | 21:06 |
| bonhoeffer | hmm .. . | 21:06 |
| bonhoeffer | so there is there another log i need to be checking? | 21:06 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: do you know what a kernel panic is ? | 21:07 |
| geirha | MartynKeigher: it probably made it the primary group already. run id guest | 21:07 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia: i've seen it before | 21:07 |
| MartynKeigher | ah ok | 21:07 |
| MartynKeigher | got it | 21:07 |
| bonhoeffer | but i'm not wise on the ways of the kernel | 21:08 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: when you see the "text in the terminal" does that look like a kernal panic in your opinion | 21:08 |
| MartynKeigher | thanks. should be good from here (?) | 21:08 |
| MartynKeigher | we'll see. lol | 21:08 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: (if you've seen one before) | 21:08 |
| bonhoeffer | no | 21:08 |
| bonhoeffer | why? | 21:08 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: thats fie, just checking | 21:08 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: how often does this problem happen ? | 21:08 |
| bonhoeffer | i'm generally a bash/zsch user | 21:08 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: what does your shell have to do with it ? | 21:08 |
| bonhoeffer | every use -- but hasn't happened without the hfs drive | 21:09 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia: it seemed like you were asking if i was afraid of the shell (a noob) | 21:09 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: ok, run it without the hfs drive for a while, see what happens | 21:09 |
| bonhoeffer | not that i'm not a ubunu noob | 21:09 |
| bonhoeffer | will do | 21:09 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: I'd say the hfs disk is not "the" problem, but it will be interesting to see | 21:09 |
| MartynKeigher | k so i ran that, chown guest: /srv/ftp and now i get this error on conection: Response:500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot() | 21:10 |
| bonhoeffer_ | https://gist.github.com/tbbooher/d326372b4f18b12caa19 | 21:11 |
| bonhoeffer | new error | 21:11 |
| bonhoeffer | i've never gotten this one before | 21:11 |

| ikonia | dondopa: stop it, there is no need for that silly sort of comment | 21:12 |
| dondopa | ok | 21:12 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: can you please open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get update" | 21:12 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: lets see what that does | 21:12 |
| bonhoeffer | or sudo apt-get update -- now i got the big problem again | 21:12 |
| bonhoeffer | an "internal error" | 21:12 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: ok, pastebin it, lets have a look | 21:12 |
| bonhoeffer | how -- syslog? | 21:12 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: ooh the big problem | 21:12 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: sorry, I missunderstood | 21:12 |
| bonhoeffer | gist 7712070 | 21:13 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: so basically your machine has crashed | 21:13 |
| bonhoeffer | well, not so much -- it will (historically speaking) but i still have terminal access now | 21:13 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: you're on a terminal and can type now ? | 21:13 |
| bonhoeffer | yes | 21:13 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: ok, "sudo apt-get update" again, what happens | 21:13 |
| bonhoeffer | but i can't hit submit to send ubuntu the problem | 21:14 |

| Bor0 | hi. I am trying to install Windows 7 but I already have installed Ubuntu. so what I have is 4 partitions on /dev/sda (1 TB, MBR), and one partition is unallocated with 150 GB of size. so I install Windows 7 on the unallocated one and installation passes successfully, however after installation reboots Windows is not on the GRUB list | 21:14 |

| Bor0 | now I tried to add it manually and copy the EFI files, but then some other error messages appear. anyone had a similar issue? | 21:14 |
| bonhoeffer_ | https://gist.github.com/tbbooher/d326372b4f18b12caa19 | 21:14 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: ok dear that looks like you've got PPa's and external repos enabled | 21:15 |
| bonhoeffer_ | http://postimg.org/image/7flaufl8j/ | 21:16 |
| bonhoeffer | but clicking on "send error report" will lead to another error | 21:16 |
| ikonia | forget submitting the error | 21:16 |
| ikonia | 3rd party repos/ppa's not good, clean them up | 21:17 |
| ikonia | remote them from your sources.list | 21:17 |
| ikonia | (or the files from sources.list.d | 21:17 |
| bonhoeffer_ | http://postimg.org/image/foggl4bu9/ | 21:17 |
| bonhoeffer_ | remove them ?? will do | 21:17 |
| Beldar | !ppa-purge | bonhoeffer | 21:17 |
| ubottu | bonhoeffer: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 21:18 |
| bonhoeffer_ | sudo apt-get install ppa-purge Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header | 21:18 |
| Beldar | some trust the ppa-purge some don't is all | 21:18 |
| ikonia | no point trying to install anything yet | 21:19 |
| ikonia | as your package managment is screwed | 21:19 |
| bonhoeffer_ | ok | 21:19 |
| ikonia | remove the sources | 21:19 |
| Beldar | bonhoeffer_, On 12.04 I believe it is not in the repos. | 21:19 |
| bonhoeffer_ | ikonia, do you know the location for that file | 21:19 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer_: /etc/sources.list or files in /etc/sources.list.d | 21:19 |
| Beldar | bonhoeffer_, following ikonia is your best bet though here. | 21:19 |
| resure1 | Can anybody please tell me what are default 10-* files in /etc/fonts/conf.d? I removed all of them and don't know what should i restore from conf.avail | 21:20 |
| genii | bonhoeffer_: /etc/apt/sources.list is the main file, the ppa files are in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 21:20 |
| bonhoeffer_ | there | 21:20 |
| ikonia | genii: ahh /etc/apt... thank you | 21:20 |
| genii | ikonia: :) | 21:21 |
| bonhoeffer_ | yes, thanks | 21:21 |

| lostincake | but I can't login when I click on "Add Printer" | 21:22 |

| ikonia | kardan: that's quite a lot of PPA's | 21:24 |
| ikonia | oops | 21:24 |
| bonhoeffer_ | ok ! the sublime text stuff | 21:24 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer_: that's quite a lot of PPA's | 21:24 |
| bonhoeffer_ | ok | 21:24 |
| bonhoeffer_ | move them all to a temp dir? | 21:24 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer_: here is what you need to do "sudo cp -Rp /etc/apt/sources.list.d /etc/apt/not_sources.list.d" and then "sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*" | 21:25 |
| bonhoeffer_ | yeah | 21:25 |
| bonhoeffer_ | got it -- trying update | 21:25 |
| bonhoeffer_ | done -- easy | 21:26 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer_: ok, so the update works now ? | 21:26 |
| bonhoeffer_ | and i have to run . . . but yes | 21:26 |
| lostincake | anyone have any ideas about CUPS? | 21:26 |
| bonhoeffer_ | still feel i don't know what was crashing things | 21:26 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer_: reboot, see if the problem is gone | 21:26 |
| bonhoeffer_ | got it | 21:26 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer_: I suspect a PPA was causing the problem | 21:26 |
| bonhoeffer_ | then enable ppas one by one | 21:26 |
| bonhoeffer_ | ok | 21:26 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer_: let it run for a few days "safe" first | 21:26 |
| sereal | close | 21:27 |
| ikonia | I suspect the heroku is the problem | 21:27 |

| SASDOE | anyone have any suggestions as to minimal securitu measures for server. open ports are ssh and a couple more | 21:30 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: you need to evaluate your setup for that, there is no "standard | 21:30 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: what do you mean by evaluate? | 21:31 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: look at what your system is doing/needs | 21:31 |

| peterbin | Hi how do I access the boot options in ubuntu 12.04 desktop livecd? | 21:33 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: so for a server up all year receiving little traffic, change default port to ssh, install fail2ban, and relax hopefully? | 21:33 |
| === derek is now known as Guest87237 | ||
| ikonia | SASDOE: that's not what I said, but knowing what your server is doing and blocking what it's not using, is a good move | 21:34 |
| genii | peterbin: Usually F6 key. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions for details. | 21:34 |
| peterbin | genii: that's what I thought but the desktop version only gives two options, try ubuntu and install or am I missing something? | 21:35 |
| genii | peterbin: Try the F6 anyways, even if you don't see it listed as an option on the screen | 21:36 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: ports are filtered at router level, only selected ones are open. with that and proper protection on open ports (fail2ban being protection for 22 for example) | 21:37 |
| SASDOE | I should be fine | 21:37 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: not a bad starting point at all | 21:37 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: Ok thanks. | 21:37 |
| peterbin | genii: ... but then if i can't see the menu how am I suppose to add the option I want? Not trolling but I did try f6 and nothing came up | 21:38 |
| genii | peterbin: As the url explains, get to the menu by pressing any key when you see the logo on the bottom | 21:39 |
| peterbin | genii: ... ok, even if that's not working for me | 21:40 |

| iFire | Is it a good idea to run a windows vm under ubuntu and then virtualize the gpu? | 21:43 |
| iFire | Any problems with that? | 21:43 |
| daftykins | iFire: what do you mean by 'virtualise the GPU' ? | 21:45 |
| iFire | daftykins: graphics card passthrough | 21:46 |
| iFire | basically I want to switch to linux, but still develop games for windows | 21:47 |

| iFire | http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/56777/enabling-iommu-in-the-kernel-for-graphics-card-pass-through | 21:48 |
| daftykins | iFire: i'm sure using most VM software such as vmware/virtualbox you could pass through *some* graphical features, but the host OS needs the graphics hardware so you can't double allocate items i think | 21:48 |
| iFire | anyways I've read it's possible | 21:48 |
| daftykins | ah-har, for dual GPU setups | 21:49 |
| iFire | daftykins: well you know you can just disable the gpu for the ubuntu system... | 21:49 |

| iFire | darksand22: it's specific to the hard drive | 21:57 |
| daftykins | darksand22: Windows 8 will likely already be installed in EFI mode to a GPT disk, you won't be able to install legacy ubuntu beside it without changing BIOS settings every boot to switch OS | 21:57 |
| iFire | if you want the old format you need to wipe it | 21:57 |

| Gnea | jhutchins: unity is a desktop environment or window manager, it just handles what happens on the screen, it doesn't drive the login greeter | 22:13 |

| dondopa | My father wants to create a DNS server for his ampache web service so that the tablets can access and play music | 22:47 |
| daftykins | dondopa: can they not just connect by IP? | 22:48 |
| dondopa | Is He wants to use fake Top Level Domain | 22:48 |
| dondopa | No | 22:48 |
| dondopa | theycannot | 22:48 |
| dondopa | like for eg. www.raidospatial.inc | 22:48 |
| dondopa | I want to make my laptop running Ubuntu 13.10 Server into a BIND local DNS server. Make the laptop resolve names and interact with the router so that the samsung galaxy tablets in ourhomecan access the apache web server sites using the client app called Ampache.net | 22:52 |
| Walex2 | dondopa: it is very easy. | 22:52 |
| dondopa | This looks very complicated right now | 22:53 |
| dondopa | I dont even know how to explain it properly | 22:53 |
| xkernel | tozen, I deleted the .Xauthority file but still getting the blank screen | 22:53 |
| Walex2 | dondopa: look for a simple HOWTO on running your own local 'root' DNS server. | 22:53 |
| daftykins | dondopa: it shouldn't require too much, just look up some BIND configuration guides. you ultimately want a DNS forwarder with a couple of static hosts configured i expect | 22:53 |

| jhutchins | You can even use real domain names and have them resolve to a local address. I used to do that to block ad sites. | 22:55 |
| stef1a | how do you allow wifi to reconnect when it drops? | 22:55 |
| dondopa | No he doesn't want to use real domain names. Using fake TLD is what he wants | 22:59 |

| CoDEmanX | can i somehow redirect the screen output of "crontab -e", so that i can print what's on screen in my calling php script? or do i need root rights? | 23:07 |
| jhutchins | mdev: Can you ping the site? Open it in a web browser. | 23:07 |
| stef1a | how do you allow wifi to reconnect when it drops? | 23:07 |
| dondopa | My father said we need to install BIND to resolve the names for the web servers | 23:07 |
| dondopa | so that the tablets can access them and play music from ampache | 23:08 |
| jhutchins | dondopa: That or put the server in the host file. | 23:08 |
| CoDEmanX | echo(shell_exec("crontab -e")); <-- no output at all | 23:08 |
| jhutchins | dondopa: Is your tablet getting DHCP from an ISP's router? | 23:08 |
| dondopa | yes | 23:08 |
| bonhoeffer | hmm . . . i was doing an update, came back to pc, no icons, prompt, anything -- any options? | 23:09 |
| jhutchins | dondopa: So it's not going to know about your DNS server or your local hosts. | 23:09 |
| mdev | jhutchins trying to install in a kvm | 23:09 |
| mdev | keep getting https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50354233/mirror.jpg | 23:09 |
| dondopa | So what do I do then? | 23:09 |
| mdev | https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50354233/mirror2.jpg | 23:09 |
| jhutchins | dondopa: So you need to either use the server's IP address for the URL or replace the DHCP on the router with one of your own. Or hack the tablet to set the DNS manually. | 23:09 |
| mdev | for different versions tried different mirrors | 23:09 |
| dondopa | I cannot hack the tablet to set DNS manually. I wont run the risk of rooting so that one is out | 23:10 |
| dondopa | Nor do I know how to | 23:10 |
| dondopa | It's not my tablet either | 23:10 |
| dondopa | Samsung Galaxy tab 2 | 23:10 |
| CoDEmanX | nothing either for echo(shell_exec("sudo cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root")); | 23:11 |

| ddeeff | Hi. I recently upgraded to the latest release and some config files were changed by the updater. I approved the changes, but now something broke. Is there a log of those changes? | 23:54 |
