| dondopa | SSH is good | 00:06 |
| dondopa | but how do i copy things recursively without copying everything over using rsync? | 00:06 |
| zykotick9 | dondopa: scp has a -r switch? | 00:07 |
| === Rylai is now known as Rylee | ||
| dondopa | Ok here is ascenario | 00:07 |
| dondopa | i use scp -r | 00:07 |
| dondopa | backup my files | 00:07 |
| dondopa | later i have 1 file that is new to the old backup | 00:07 |
| nevyn | [TiZ]: is it optimus? | 00:07 |
| [TiZ] | nevyn: Yes, it is. | 00:08 |
| dondopa | how do i add that 1new file to the old backup without copying everything over again? | 00:08 |
| zykotick9 | dondopa: for backup, rsync is better... | 00:08 |
| dondopa | exactly | 00:08 |
| dondopa | so how do you do it inrsync? | 00:08 |
| nevyn | [TiZ]: so. the hdmi is probably not connected to the intel. | 00:08 |
| zykotick9 | dondopa: i think -u is update... but check the rsync man page? | 00:09 |
| dondopa | ok | 00:09 |
| dondopa | thx | 00:09 |
| zykotick9 | dondopa: fyi, rsync can use ssh... and be careful if you use the delete option (learned that the hard way) | 00:10 |
| [TiZ] | nevyn: Oh... I see. :/ | 00:10 |
| dondopa | oh dam.. | 00:10 |
| EMPHASIS_ | can anyone recommend a desktop capture program to produce e.g. .avi or .mp4? | 00:10 |

| [TiZ] | Huh? | 00:11 |
| nevyn | [TiZ]: so bumblebee can I think deal with this | 00:11 |

| nevyn | [TiZ]: which he spoke about in january at LCA | 00:22 |
| [TiZ] | nevyn: How far along is it? | 00:22 |
| wolfspy | coventry: should I do it while the game is open? | 00:23 |
| coventry | wolfspy: Run the terminal in the window where said you watch the video. | 00:23 |
| wolfspy | coventry: I dont think the video is the problem, it happens without the video | 00:23 |
| coventry | wolfspy: Sorry, read that as how should you do it. Yes, while the game is open. | 00:23 |
| wolfspy | coventry: java is taking up 102 cpu and 6.9 mem | 00:24 |
| andywojo | Use nmon instead of top.. top stinks. http://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/nmon | 00:24 |

| wolfspy | coventry: okj | 00:24 |
| nevyn | [TiZ]: well it was working code I don't know if it got merged tho | 00:25 |
| n000b | bekks nvm got it, had to unload em28xx_dvb then drxk then reload in backwards order, worked now | 00:25 |
| zykotick9 | don't install debian packages on ubuntu... that's silly. htop is a good top alternative. | 00:25 |
| andywojo | Haha why not? | 00:25 |

| Guest63526 | Hello, can someone help me mount a zfs pool using Native-ZFS? | 00:26 |
| zykotick9 | andywojo: 'cause they aren't created for use on ubuntu - they'll have different dependencies... | 00:26 |
| andywojo | True, that's a possibility - but I know that it works fairly well | 00:27 |
| zykotick9 | !wfm | andywojo just don't suggest it to others then... | 00:27 |

| jmgk | hi all | 00:28 |
| andywojo | Ah okay | 00:28 |
| andywojo | Well, it looks like there is a ubuntu specific one: apt-get install nmon | 00:28 |
| zykotick9 | andywojo: thanks though, i hadn't seen nmon before... probably won't replace htop for me - but good to know about. | 00:29 |
| Guest63526 | Anyone use Native-ZFS much? | 00:29 |
| jmgk | nope Guest63526 | 00:29 |
| coventry | nmon looks slick, but basically useless for wolfspy's issue without further instructions on how to set it up. | 00:29 |
| nevyn | [TiZ]: what laptop is it? | 00:29 |
| andywojo | It's born from AIX.. I like it better than nmon, because it exports nicely to CSV whereas I don't think htop does. | 00:30 |
| bekks | Guest63526: I am using native zfs, but not on Ubuntu. And I never heard of Native-ZFS. | 00:30 |
| andywojo | better than htop* | 00:30 |

| hassen | what is the "super key" in ubuntu | 01:07 |
| zykotick9 | hassen: "windows key", poorly named IMO | 01:08 |
| DuncanNZ | zykotick9: do you think "windows key" or "super key" is the poor name? | 01:08 |
| zykotick9 | DuncanNZ: well.. both i guess ;) but calling the windows key, "super" is my main issue | 01:09 |
| DuncanNZ | but it's not the windows key just because most computers have a windows symbol on it | 01:09 |
| DuncanNZ | on macs the "super key" is the command key | 01:09 |

| dooglus | also, any tab that uses flash now says "oh snap" in chromium. any fix for this? | 01:16 |
| dooglus | I upgraded the chromium-browser package | 01:16 |

| crankharder | not really sure how this happened to begin with... I formatted the SSD when I installed ubuntu. I never intended this box to be dual booted | 01:27 |
| dooglus | I did a full apt-get update && apt-get upgrade then rebooted. and the touchpad still doesn't work | 01:28 |

| daftykins | be careful of language please sir | 01:29 |
| crankharder | yea... from the initramfs prompt "mount /dev/sda1 /root" worked... how do I figure out how ubuntu is trying to mount /root? | 01:29 |

| dooglus | could it be related to the fglrx thingy? | 01:31 |
| zykotick9 | crankharder: i can't, but you've basically chrooted to /root then?!?! | 01:31 |
| crankharder | zykotick9: but yea, i see your point. and now that i'm in. if I sudo up, there's nothign in /root | 01:32 |
| crankharder | zykotick9: hell if I know | 01:32 |
| crankharder | i've got this in fstab: "UUID=bc030b95-9901-4b54-a7e1-f0738655904c / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1" -- whcih seems all normal | 01:32 |
| crankharder | gonna reboot and try w/o step #2 above | 01:33 |
| zykotick9 | crankharder: have you verified that UUID is correct? "sudo blkid" will show you. | 01:33 |
| crankharder | btw.. I *do* get the ubuntu loading screen prior to dropping to this initramfs prompt | 01:34 |
| crankharder | yea... wack. just executing "exit" at this prompt fixes things | 01:34 |
| dooglus | I got the touchpad working again by running "sudo dpkg -i fglrx_13.101-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-amdcccle_13.101-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-dev_13.101-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb" and rebooting. weird. it WAS an fglrx issue | 01:35 |
| crankharder | zykotick9: and yes, the UUID in /etc/fstab correctly matches one of the drives from 'blkid' | 01:35 |
| daftykins | AMD for you | 01:35 |
| crankharder | meh 'exit' fixes this... this is gonna have to bug me a *lot* more to debug any further. I dont turn this thing off except for, erm, lightning. | 01:37 |

| jmgk | hey hassen_ | 02:04 |
| vantage | bekks: full output here: http://pastebin.com/zEapBXMw | 02:04 |
| bekks | millerti_: what exactly are you refering to? PTY? VTY? | 02:04 |
| hassen_ | hello jmgk | 02:04 |
| hassen_ | given that e.g windows 7 gets the drivers for the machine without any help of manufacturer-made drivers,they are still yet useful to enhance the drivers' functionality,so i wondered about linux(like ubuntu),aren't there drivers for machines made for linux?like ubuntu | 02:05 |
| vantage | bekks: though it does list errors in there, I have no idea what they mean | 02:06 |
| millerti_ | bekks: Alt+Ctrl+Fkey doesn't work in 13.10 | 02:06 |
| bekks | vantage: that drive is going to fail soon. See lines 61, 64, 65, 70, 73, 75, 76, and especially 77. | 02:07 |
| vocx | hassen_, I don't understand your question? All drivers should come from the manufacturer. | 02:07 |
| zykotick9 | hassen_: wait, you don't think manufacturers make driver for windows... that's funny. | 02:07 |
| bekks | vantage: And the errors shows at the end indicate it is already failing. | 02:08 |
| vantage | bekks: I figured as much. Can you explain how you can tell that from those lines? | 02:08 |
| vocx | hassen_, what you could argue is that there is no hardware manufacturer specifically catering towards the open source community. They would be able to make drivers for Linux, Windows, and just about anything else. Hardware always contains "secrets", patents and stuff, so that's the tricky part. | 02:10 |
| bekks | vantage: unrecoverable sectors mean: every harddisk has a bunch of sectors not visible for normal usage, since they are used for replacing failed sectors "silently". If these hidden sectors are used up, vital sectors start to fail. Thats when you should replace the drive immediately. | 02:11 |
| bekks | vantage: In addition, you have a lot of unrecoverable errors, etc. - thats when the drive starts to die. | 02:11 |
| vantage | bekks: I guess I'm just not seeing "unrecoverable" in the output, where are you seeing that? | 02:13 |
| bekks | vantage: line 77. | 02:14 |
| vantage | bekks: ah, uncorrectable and the value of 100? | 02:14 |
| hassen_ | vocx, so that means ubuntu belongs to the open source community? | 02:15 |
| bekks | vantage: raw value 2. | 02:15 |
| bekks | hassen_: of course. | 02:15 |
| anchx | I am having troubles installing bcrypt on 12.04, python3.2 setup.py install is failing everytime, any idea? | 02:15 |
| zykotick9 | hassen_: ahhh, ubuntu belongs to canonical. bekks - there is no "community" | 02:15 |
| vantage | bekks: What does the 2 mean? 2 uncorrectable errors have occurred? | 02:16 |
| bekks | vantage: yes. | 02:16 |
| onca | fsck, why would a lvm partition scheme drop an entire luks partition and how do rescue it?!? | 02:16 |
| bekks | onca: lvm doesnt have partitions, lvm uses volumes. And you have done something to "drop" it. You can recover it from your full backup. | 02:17 |
| onca | i dont have a full backup | 02:17 |
| vantage | bekks: Gotcha. As far as replacing the drive goes, is there a way to migrate to larger drives? Or would it be better to just build a new array and copy the data over? | 02:17 |
| bekks | onca: then you have no chance to recover. | 02:18 |
| bekks | vantage: that depends on your type of RAID, etc. | 02:19 |
| vantage | bekks: RAID 1, 2 drives | 02:19 |
| bekks | vantage: HW/SW RAID, etc.? | 02:19 |
| vantage | bekks: one of which has now failed :) | 02:19 |
| vantage | bekks: SW | 02:19 |
| bekks | vantage: dmraid/lvm/zfs? | 02:20 |
| vantage | bekks: lvm, not dmraid, not zfs | 02:22 |
| vantage | bekks: ext3 | 02:22 |
| bekks | vantage: you are using lvm to create a RAID1? That needs three drives, as you know. | 02:23 |
| vantage | bekks: it's been around for a while | 02:23 |
| vantage | bekks: no, mdadm (or whatever the pre-dmraid method of raid setup was), with LVM on top | 02:23 |

| sage__ | hello i would like some very basic guidelines in crosscompiling a normal linux program for an AirOS machine | 02:43 |
| sage__ | i've never done crosscompiling before and now i wanted to try it on this AirOS antenna from my friend | 02:45 |
| ubuthetechguru | has anyone used the phoronix test suite before? i selected option 1 to run a test but it doesn't do anything | 02:45 |
| vocx | codygman, I think there are some guides about creating the deb. These would be more useful than asking the irc channel. But yeah, I think basically getting the source, and following some instructions and dpkg-deb. | 02:48 |
| codygman | vocx: Thanks for the input, I found a few of those. Actually I think I got it sorted ;) | 02:48 |
| hassen_ | why is it well said that ubuntu (or other linux OS) can't be infected with viruses? | 02:49 |
| vocx | sage__, basically you need the crosscompiler, libraries and headers, to the architecture you wish. Then instead of using the normal compiler "gcc", you would use something like "cross-compiler-gcc" on the file you want. What is AirOS anyway? | 02:50 |
| codygman | hassen_: Permissions is one reason it's harder for viruses to do well with linux. In windows everything is 755 by default. The other bigger argument is that it's not worth virus writers time to make viruses for linux, though that could change according to the market. However there are other reasons, these are just the biggest two taht come to mind for me. | 02:50 |
| vocx | hassen_, because of the permission structure. If you receive a virus, it will not work on system level directories because it does not have permission. If you run it with root it may, but if you run it with your normal user, it may only affect your home directory. | 02:51 |
| jmgk | hello hassen_ | 02:51 |
| hassen_ | so don't I need an antivirus given that i deeply browse the internet often? | 02:52 |
| sage__ | AirOS is a special operating system for wireless access points | 02:52 |
| sage__ | vocx: Im not sure.. i know it has something to do with wireless access points | 02:53 |
| Ari-Yang | !antivirus | hassen | 02:53 |
| ubottu | hassen: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 02:53 |
| codygman | hassen_: If you use firefox+noscript and avoid flash/java web with ubuntu, it's very unlikely you'll get a virus. However, javascript is needed for much of the web and carefully allowing only sites you trust can do a lot in avoiding being infected. | 02:53 |
| sage__ | vocx: my friends dad works in a internet provider and he had one spare antenna with that and he plays around with it | 02:53 |
| defcon511 | someone got a clue how i can get the window hotcorner functions from ubuntu/windows7? | 02:54 |
| defcon511 | when i drag the window on the top corner it just maximise to 1/2 desktop b | 02:55 |
| sage__ | vocx: ive been googling around trying to find out what architecture AirOS uses with no results.. not even in the official wiki | 02:56 |
| xangua | defcon511: do you have compiz settings manager installed¿ | 02:56 |
| hassen_ | understood,but i have a PC where i often access the win7 OS partition to get some of my data in the other ubuntu's one. | 02:56 |
| vocx | sage__, which official wiki? | 02:56 |

| pfifo | hassen_: theres a great linux antivirus in the repos. | 02:58 |
| pfifo | !info clamav | hassen_ | 02:59 |
| ubottu | hassen_: clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97.8+dfsg-1ubuntu4 (saucy), package size 124 kB, installed size 564 kB | 02:59 |
| sage__ | Nanostation is the name of the hardware for AirOS | 02:59 |
| hassen_ | pfifo, i see,thanks. | 02:59 |
| vocx | hassen_, then you can install the antivirus and scan that folder regularly. Many viruses are hidden in Windows, but once you pass them to a Linux system you can see then in plain sight, as .exe files. Then you realise they are viruses, and you can just erase them. They won't do anything when they are in Linux as they don have permissions to do anything and the system folders that they target don't exist. | 02:59 |
| hassen_ | vocx, understood,thanks. | 03:00 |

| erek | i want to create a database | 03:41 |
| erek | in mysql | 03:41 |
| erek | and then i want access the database from a php file | 03:41 |
| geoffmcc | buu: you will need to install php5-mysql, but if you apt-get install phpmyadmin it will get you everything needed. Not required, but easier to administer the databases | 03:41 |
| riccrouch | erek: phpmyadmin is a web-based front-end to a mysql database. You can create and edit databases from there. | 03:41 |
| geoffmcc | wrong person sorry | 03:42 |
| riccrouch | If you are just looking to write a PHP script to access the database, you don't need any extra stuff | 03:42 |
| erek | riccrouch: do you think phpmyadmin is a cheap way to administer a database? | 03:42 |
| erek | is it better to do everything by hand | 03:42 |
| riccrouch | Cheap? It's free | 03:42 |
| erek | cheap as in like cheating | 03:43 |
| erek | instead of doing it all by hand | 03:43 |
| riccrouch | Basically its a graphical interface to the database. You would use it to create and load/edit a database. You can use code to dynamically create pages and edit the database from code. | 03:43 |
| erek | will i be cheating myself out of learning | 03:43 |
| erek | understanding how sql works | 03:43 |
| mnemon | not really, you'll see the scripts through that too | 03:43 |
| riccrouch | Not at all. Used for different purpose | 03:43 |
| riccrouch | phpmyadmin has an "SQL" window where you can write pure SQL code if you want to. | 03:44 |
| mnemon | also, leaving it accessible to the world on production server is a very bad idea. | 03:44 |
| dondopa | Bind9 is hard to configure | 03:45 |
| riccrouch | I think by default phpmyadmin is only available on the localhost | 03:45 |
| dondopa | Rocket science | 03:45 |
| riccrouch | but that can be changed, so be careful | 03:45 |
| dondopa | My father configured Bind9 and forwarded the DNS servers of my ISP | 03:45 |

| Boohbah | dondopa: and this is a failure of bind9? | 03:47 |
| dondopa | No it is a failure of me | 03:47 |
| dondopa | Because I am not a machine | 03:47 |
| riccrouch | erek" usually http://<server address here>/phpMyAdmin | 03:47 |
| dondopa | BIND9 is when a person cannot help but say to himself"This is just too much linux" | 03:48 |
| dondopa | WAy too much linux mane! | 03:48 |
| riccrouch | sorry.... phpmyadmin, not phpMyAdmin | 03:48 |
| mnemon | dondopa: define a zone, write few A records in there, done. | 03:48 |
| dondopa | will that make it resolve the names so that I can access ampache on my tablet? | 03:48 |
| foureyes779 | peterrooney: welcome back | 03:49 |
| mnemon | as long as you use that server as your dns server, yes | 03:49 |
| dondopa | When I use nslookup it gives me the address of the router | 03:49 |
| dondopa | is that ok? | 03:49 |
| mnemon | i guess it depends on how your router is configured and where the bind is. | 03:50 |

| kkkkkkk | hi all, i am using sakis 3g to connect to internet, because modem manager is too slow to detect my modem, it takes few minutes to detect, sometimes it doesn't detect, then i need to re-insert modem, and all, i want to automate sakis 3g connection, everytime i start sakis 3g, it asks for password, i solved it using /etc/sudoers file, but i want that it does not ask for username and password for dial up connection, because most of times, In India, all operators | 05:11 |

| cfhowlett | trelane, unity really doesn't run well on old boxes. the easy fix is to boot to the command line, run sudo apt-get install lxde and sudo apt-get install xfce4 then login to one or the other | 05:11 |
| kkkkkkk | and custom user also | 05:11 |
| trelane | cfhowlett, this is a dual core box with 4gb of ram, and a dedicated video card. | 05:12 |
| xmetal | !lubuntu | 05:12 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 05:12 |
| kkkkkkk | trelane: unity has still problems like crashing on Ubuntu 12.04, bla bla, i suggest you to use KDE or Lxde, according to your need, | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | trelane, it "should run"! but until you figure out why unity if fragging, you might consider a non-unity desktop environment. | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | trelane, if I had to guess, I'd start with eyeing the video card... | 05:14 |
| kkkkkkk | trelane: KDE is also fine, if you were a windows user, you will not feel something different in GUI, except performance and stability | 05:14 |
| xmetal | unity runs fine on my AMD 4GB RAM "2009 laptop" | 05:14 |

| sandman13 | which is better? Clam AV or Avast | 05:20 |
| kkkkkkk | type in search box | 05:20 |
| kkkkkkk | sandman13: no one is better | 05:20 |
| ncrosby | kkk, that would require unity to be started. | 05:20 |
| sandman13 | why kkkkkkk | 05:21 |
| kkkkkkk | sandman13: because i have tested both of them, even AVG | 05:21 |
| xmetal | I like Avast myself, though i feel this the wrong channel for that question | 05:22 |
| kkkkkkk | sandman13: better not to use anyone of them, let your system run smoothley, they will just aquire some space on your hard drive | 05:22 |
| sandman13 | so what would be the choice? install none | 05:22 |
| xmetal | "best" is a matter of opinion | 05:22 |
| === Siya is now known as siya | ||
| xmetal | no AV is not the answer if you ask me but this is a question related to a different OS | 05:22 |
| xmetal | (OT is otherwards) | 05:23 |
| cfhowlett | kkkkkkk, eh? the amount of space required by either of those programs is trivial | 05:23 |
| kkkkkkk | sandman13: if you are much more curios, use dual boot with windows, antivirus updates are provided more freq. to windows users and their detection is much better than them | 05:23 |
| kkkkkkk | than linux AV | 05:23 |
| * xmetal stops watching Khan Academy video | 05:24 | |
| sandman13 | i need a AV for basic protection | 05:24 |
| xmetal | windows, sandman? | 05:24 |
| cfhowlett | sandman13, so install it on windows | 05:24 |
| ncrosby | trelane; if Unity won't start, I tend to have to reinstall the system. You may be able to work your way around it, but for me that would almost take more time. | 05:24 |
| kkkkkkk | Linux is already, secure from windows viruses | 05:24 |
| cfhowlett | !virus | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 05:25 |
| xmetal | i'd (yes i kjnow this is ot for this channel) go with Avast | 05:25 |
| kkkkkkk | trelane: yes, it will take much much more time, | 05:25 |
| trelane | I'm going to work around it, thanks | 05:25 |
| xmetal | nothing is perfect .. ."best" anything is a matter of opnion like i said | 05:25 |
| cfhowlett | !best | 05:27 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 05:27 |
| trelane | lets try a custom xorg.conf | 05:27 |
| sandman13 | i read somewhere that malwares still affect linux boxes | 05:28 |
| trelane | sandman13, malware != virus, please look at something like rkhunter if you suspect a rootkit (hint, you probably don't have one) | 05:29 |

| kkkkkkk | sandman13: i installed it, sometimes, you may face problems during updates, if you are using a proxy server, LINUX version and updates are always given less priority over windows versions | 05:36 |

| Vedrit | Anyone know if there is a channel for MONO support? | 07:28 |
| nezZario | This is really annoying | 07:30 |
| nezZario | for one, my motd always says there is a new release available 13.10 but I ran this last night and did the upgrade | 07:30 |
| nezZario | (i guess it completed) | 07:30 |
| nezZario | when i type it again, it says ther eis no release available | 07:30 |
| cfhowlett | nezZario, apt-get upgrade will not upgrade your release | 07:30 |
| Beldar | !alis | Vedrit | 07:32 |
| ubottu | Vedrit: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 07:32 |
| nezZario | i didn't say it would | 07:32 |
| nezZario | i typed do-release-upgrade like the motd keeps telling me to | 07:32 |
| nezZario | it done a bunch of stuff, i went to sleep | 07:32 |
| nezZario | it keeps telling me | 07:32 |
| vocx | !enter | nezZario | 07:34 |
| ubottu | nezZario: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:34 |
| nezZario | also, keeps telling me /usr/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/MYUSER/.Xauthority | 07:37 |
| nezZario | I did some googling, none4 of it really helped. I rm'd the file.. No go, .. A few things said it needed to be owned by 'machine' user? No go. Just really annoying, also it seems the previous deal about the .Xauthority file hangs my logins for 3-4 secs .. The machine is local over a LAN, previously it logged in basically instantly | 07:39 |
| vocx | nezZario, I don't have much experience with troubleshooting, but I remember whenever you have problems with Xauthority it indicates a problem with permissions, like a broken update and stuff. I've never had such issue, it's just what I hear. | 07:40 |
| nezZario | Looks like doing apt-get update + upgrade might fix the issue | 07:46 |
| nezZario | I think the do-release-upgrade may of not of finished .. Should've ran it in screen | 07:46 |
| cfhowlett | nezZario, upgrade and dist-release are NOT the same command. | 07:46 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:48 |
| nezZario | I didn't do dist-release. Can you give me some context as to how that relates to apt-get update+upgrade? I only ran do-release-upgrade so the motd would stop bugging me about it | 07:48 |

| shadej | getting this error "/j2eesdk-1_4_03-linux_2.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 07:50 |

| cfhowlett | nezZario, easier to send you the ubuntu cheat sheet | 07:50 |
| shadej | I did "sudo apt-get install libstdc++5" but no change | 07:51 |
| vocx | shadej, do you want to compile something in Java or just use Java? | 07:51 |
| cfhowlett | nezZario, OK the .pdf and read | 07:51 |
| nezZario | When I ran the upgrade, it actually failed and told me to run dpkg --configure -a which seems to be fifinishing the process.. /seems/ to be | 07:51 |
| shadej | vocx: I want to use jms(which uses j2ee) | 07:51 |
| vocx | shadej, what is that? | 07:52 |
| shadej | vocx: jms=>java messaging service. I want to use it to implement publish/subscribe and ppp [clinet-server class] | 07:53 |
| shadej | vocx: *pp | 07:53 |
| DoubleMintx | Can someone here help me with an install problem? My keyboard is not being recognized whether I have my keyboard set to 6 key rollover or N key rollover. | 07:54 |
| shadej | j2ee users on ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| vocx | shadej, I see there are some packages including something about jms in the repositories. Have you tried installing those before? | 07:56 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| vocx | shadej, you seem to be trying to install something from the sources. I think that is not a good idea. Most developing tools and libraries are available from the repositories. | 07:57 |
| vocx | !ubottu | shadej I install the JDK first, and see if that includes the jms libraries that you need | 07:58 |
| ubottu | shadej I install the JDK first, and see if that includes the jms libraries that you need: Hi!

| vocx | shadej, I did "aptitude search jms" and some additional packages are shown like "libspring-jms-java", "libjboss-jms-java" | 07:59 |
| shadej | vocx: ok let me check again | 07:59 |
| Vinnie_win | Is there an easy way for me to upgrade my gcc to the latest stable version on my Ubuntu virtual box? | 08:00 |
| vocx | shadej, by the way, I messed up the ubottu message | 08:00 |
| Vinnie_win | I already have an older one installed. | 08:00 |
| vocx | !ubottu | shadej | 08:00 |
| ubottu | shadej: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 08:00 |
| vocx | !java | shadej | 08:00 |
| ubottu | shadej: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 08:00 |
| vocx | shadej, LOL, I did it again, but the last one worked, sorry for spamming. | 08:01 |
| shadej | vocx: I have installed java and even I have eclipse | 08:01 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, which version you have? | 08:01 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, why would you want the most recent version? | 08:02 |
| Vinnie_win | vocx: I managed to write c++ code that blows up gcc 4.7.3 | 08:02 |
| nezZario | good l ord | 08:02 |
| Vinnie_win | vocx: And I want as much c++11 support as I can muster | 08:02 |
| meddy | sosip: are you there? | 08:02 |
| Vinnie_win | voc: In my defense I said the latest "stable" version :-) | 08:02 |
| nezZario | also, anyone have any idea why very ocassionally, grub doesn't auto-boot after a timeout? it's the darndest thing. my ubuntu box here is a headless machine, I use it as a router/gateway for the rest of my network | 08:03 |
| Alpha-Omega | Can I ask why when you're installing a minimal install with the minimal CD of Ubuntu, things such as Python are installed? | 08:03 |
| Vinnie_win | What happens to the older version of gcc and the older version of the standard libraries when I issue "sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8" after adding the PPA? | 08:03 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, my latest is 4.8.1, I'm running Ubuntu 13.10, what are you running? | 08:04 |
| nezZario | once and a while, my netowrk seems to loose internet. every time, i have to unplug a monitor from a normal workstation, plug it up, and it's stuck at the grub boot screen. i have to unplug a keyboard, and press 'enter' | 08:04 |
| vocx | Alpha-Omega, you mean without GUI? Perhaps there are a few scripts that depend on Python. And probably the base version of Python is small enough, like 20 MB, perhaps. | 08:05 |
| nezZario | Alpha-Omega: python is pretty minimal. you can probably force remove it if you really don't want it, but I think some nonessential but fairly important scripts might rely on them | 08:05 |
| Alpha-Omega | vocx: It's the base install | 08:05 |
| Alpha-Omega | nezZario: It's just that I did base install, X server, i3 and I was at 9xx MB, during the install Python was just one of the packages I saw. | 08:06 |
| Alpha-Omega | Is there a link that shows what all the base packages that come installed are? | 08:06 |
| nezZario | I can see the confusion there, I'm not sure why it would offer it to you as an option if it was already in the base | 08:07 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, I don think anything will happen to the old compiler. After all, compilers are more or less independent. You will have double tools, and double libraries, depending on the versions, so it should be fine. | 08:07 |
| nezZario | Alpha-Omega: It looks like some pretty important things are python, namely do-release-upgrade, etc. if you have a working ubuntu box somewhere try "file /usr/bin/* | grep Python" | 08:09 |
| vocx | Alpha-Omega, I think in Ubuntu many things are tied in by Python, almost like a substitute Bash. | 08:10 |
| nezZario | Really the only important thing I see is do-release-upgrade | 08:11 |
| Vinnie_win | vocx: When I install gcc 4.8.2 will the apt-get mechanism change all the necessary configuration files and settings so that the new gcc and standard libraries are the "current toolchain?" | 08:12 |
| nezZario | But none the less, you probably want it.. ;) | 08:12 |
| Vinnie_win | or is that what update-alternatives is for? | 08:12 |
| Alpha-Omega | nezZario: pastebin.com/vQa6BV4r | 08:13 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, I think so. But then again, during compilation it is you who chose the compiler in a makefile for example. Perhaps the only thing the installer will do is change the symlink to /usr/bin/gcc to the newest one. | 08:13 |
| Vinnie_win | my build system expects the symlink I guess, because I see no mention of version. | 08:13 |
| Vinnie_win | But after issuing "sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 50", "gcc --version" still shows 4.7.3 | 08:13 |
| Alpha-Omega | Would be nice if all distributions provided a page with a listing of all base install packages | 08:14 |
| nezZario | Alpha-Omega: Yeah, I mean I was just demonstrating that's all what relies on Python in that directory. I didn't need your pastebin :) | 08:14 |
| Alpha-Omega | nezZario: ohh ok :) | 08:14 |
| Vinnie_win | After running update-alternatives, etc/alternatives/gcc still points to the old one | 08:14 |
| nezZario | Alpha-Omega: You could install it and then list out the packages | 08:14 |
| Alpha-Omega | nezZario: yeah, I guess you're right | 08:14 |
| Alpha-Omega | One more question, when you have a liveCD and do things like updates which are more than the amount of ram you have, or download a file that's larger than the amount of ram you have, where are these files stored? How is it even possible to download these files or do these updates? | 08:16 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, I guess you can change the symlink yourself. | 08:17 |
| nezZario | I don't think it would download that much stuff, Alpha-Omega | 08:17 |
| nf7 | Hi, if I set a /etc/crontab job to run a command as a specific user, will it run if the user isn't logged in? | 08:17 |
| nezZario | Also, it may do compressed RAM | 08:17 |
| nezZario | Or a compressed ramdisk to be precise, | 08:18 |
| buu | Alpha-Omega: Unless you have swap on the disk or the livecd medium, you can't, etc. | 08:18 |
| nezZario | Alpha-Omega: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/ubuntu-minimal that might help | 08:18 |
| nezZario | I thought there was a base or base-files package or something, but that may be debian. I only use ubuntu at home ... | 08:19 |
| Alpha-Omega | nezZario buu so would older files disappear when new ones were downloaded and your ram usage was completely used up | 08:19 |
| nezZario | I have no idea, .. Test it out? Maybe they changed the apt utils to do 'clean' to rm the tarballs after use since I don't think apt does it on it's own .. I really have no idea I don't use live cd's on a regular basis | 08:20 |
| vocx | Alpha-Omega, I think you are not able to download "new" files since there is no space left? | 08:20 |
| nezZario | I mean yeah, I'm sure you'll get an out of disk issue if there isn't anywhere to put it.. It isn't going to defy physical limitations | 08:21 |
| nezZario | Nor would it willingly write to a disk unless you tell it to in some shape or form | 08:21 |
| Alpha-Omega | ohh ok, thanks | 08:22 |
| Alpha-Omega | Interesting, minimal install shows about 700 packages installed | 08:23 |
| Alpha-Omega | "dpkg --list | wc" sure is helpful :) | 08:23 |
| Alpha-Omega | "dpkg --list | wc -l"* | 08:24 |
| Vinnie_win | vocx: do I have to do some manual configuration to tell gcc where to find the new standard library or does a specific build of gcc know where to look for the standard includes and libraries? | 08:24 |
| nezZario | Alpha-Omega: If you have time, I wouldn't mind seeing the list pastebin'd if you would /msg it to me | 08:25 |
| === satan is now known as sa`tan | ||
| vocx | Vinnie_win, I think it's something like "gcc -std=c++11" or whatever the option is, and then it will use the standard, otherwise it may fall back to C99 | 08:26 |
| Vinnie_win | vocx: No...thats not what I mean. Each gcc brings with it, its own set of header files and static/dynamic libraries for the standard C++ library. How does the compiler/linker know which directroy in the file system to look for the matching headers? | 08:28 |
| Vinnie_win | Is that something I have to set up or does the executable just "know" beacuse it uses its name to build the path? | 08:28 |
| Vinnie_win | I already manually created the link in /etc/alternatives | 08:28 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, I think the executable just knows where to look. It's magic. I've never done any configuration at least, just run gcc. | 08:29 |
| Vinnie_win | Thats music to my ears. | 08:30 |
| Vinnie_win | execpt that now when I build, gcc cries that "cc1" cannot be found. | 08:30 |
| Vinnie_win | maybe something else I need to manually symlink | 08:30 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, which Linux have you used before? You seem to not be familiar with the Buntu ways. | 08:30 |
| Vinnie_win | vocx: I use Windows but in my defense I learned C on my own purey from the K&R book and on a Unix mainframe via dilup. | 08:31 |
| Vinnie_win | *dialup. | 08:31 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, cc1 is the preprocessor? I'm a bit rusty myself. | 08:31 |
| Vinnie_win | And you're right I'm not familiar with the Ubuntu ways. I only switch to my Ubunty virtual box so I can compile there and run the unit tests to make sure I didnt break anything. I do my main development in Windows. | 08:31 |
| Vinnie_win | After I manually update the symlink I noticed it looked different. Let me study it again. | 08:32 |
| Vinnie_win | Okay, here's the difference. Originally, ls -la in /etc/alternatives showed gcc -> gcc 4.7.1 something | 08:32 |
| Vinnie_win | Now, it shows gcc (both in green). I guess I screwed up the link | 08:32 |
| Vinnie_win | I used ln /usr/lib/gcc-4.8 gcc from the /etc/alternatives dir. Did i Need some flags to ln ? | 08:33 |
| Vinnie_win | maybe I did hard instead of symbolic | 08:34 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, like "ln -s", I always forget the options of "ln", so I do a "man ln" everytime. | 08:34 |
| Vinnie_win | Yeah. I did ln -- help. But that doesn't really give me that much when I dont know what I'm supposed to be doing anyway (lol) | 08:35 |
| _root_ | I have to add my first IP to my VPS this way http://paste.ubuntu.com/6497998/ and because of that I cant get the eth0:0 to IP alias. could you give me a clue as to what should I do to get eth0:0 working | 08:35 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, By the way, I would recommend the Programming Talk in the Ubuntuforums.org. You can learn a few trick by hanging out there. | 08:35 |
| wlightning_ | as of 13.10, my laptop appears to boot in airplane mode every boot, is there a way to change the default or have it use the last state? | 08:35 |
| Vinnie_win | vocx: That's a forum and not IRC right? | 08:36 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, Yep. Quite useful too. | 08:36 |
| Vinnie_win | Oh! I can read that while I wait. Thanks. | 08:36 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, I don't have a /etc/alternatives/gcc. My /usr/bin/gcc points to /usr/bin/gcc-4.8, so I would change the symlink there, but not sure for you. | 08:37 |
| Vinnie_win | I was able to fix the symlink after I learned the proper pronunciation and intonations and hand gestures. | 08:37 |
| Vinnie_win | success!!! woohoo | 08:38 |
| rasajeruk | why | 08:38 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, lol. | 08:38 |
| Vinnie_win | rasajeruk: You talkin to me? | 08:38 |
| rasajeruk | yeah | 08:38 |
| Vinnie_win | oh man...I want to scream now. | 08:38 |
| Vinnie_win | So....the same code that was making gcc 4.7.1 blow up is now crashing 4 8!!!!! | 08:39 |
| maxiaojun | any gui man page viewer for ubuntu 12.04+ ? | 08:40 |
| vocx | Vinnie_win, to use the latest standard, you definitely need to add some switches, like g++ --std=c++0x or something. I've read that before. Otherwise the compiler uses the previous, more stable, standard. | 08:40 |
| Vinnie_win | vocx: Yeah, I have all that in my build file. The problem is that some new template code I wrote is somehow making the compiler CRASH | 08:41 |
| Vinnie_win | I'm trying to narrow it down to a reproducible code sample. | 08:41 |

| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu | 09:34 |
| afidegnum | ok | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: open zoneminder in webbrowser: http://serverip/zm | 09:36 |
| afidegnum | ok, | 09:36 |
| lotuspsychje | cloneG: on wich ubuntu version are you? | 09:36 |
| lotuspsychje | cloneG: transmission should be installed by default.. | 09:36 |
| afidegnum | I was reading you can stream video from vlc to zoneminder, how possible? | 09:37 |
| afidegnum | can you provide a link to that? | 09:37 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: you can open an url with vlc, thats correct.. never tryed it with a specific zoneminder ip server yet | 09:37 |
| cloneG | lotusspsychje: 12.04, but I dont know where default applications executables are stored if any | 09:38 |
| afidegnum | that's where I am confused | 09:38 |
| afidegnum | so is zoneminder which streams the videos to vlc or the other way round? | 09:44 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: not sure mate, never done it myself..but i think you need the ip of your vps/passwords | 09:44 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: the vps will stream the url to vlc, vlc is just the client that will show it | 09:45 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: unless you want stream from your own machine, where the video recording happens? | 09:46 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: the vps will then only be used to store the video's | 09:46 |
| afidegnum | yes, that's what I am looking for | 09:46 |
| afidegnum | exactly | 09:46 |
| afidegnum | That's what I want to do. | 09:46 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: then you need your own internal ip zoneminder server to stream url to vlc | 09:47 |
| afidegnum | because i don't have enough processing resources, I need to do that from the end pc, | 09:47 |
| afidegnum | then store the video to the VPC so I can view or play them when I am away, online | 09:47 |
| forte | .... | 09:47 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: try http://127.0.0.1/zm | 09:47 |
| afidegnum | so meaning vlc will be available online to stream the videos right ? | 09:48 |
| afidegnum | and I want to have a multi-user setup as well, | 09:48 |
| afidegnum | different user with different videos | 09:48 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: you can do both ways...stream url's with vlc on remote, and stream them localy from your machine | 09:49 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: maybe the #vlc guys can give you a hand howto do it properly | 09:49 |
| afidegnum | ok | 09:49 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: but i would start with own http zoneminder config | 09:50 |
| afidegnum | ok, let me get this clearer, on the desktop, I install zoneminder there, stream video to a VPS serer having also zoneminder? | 09:51 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: no its not realy streaming to the vps, only use vps to store recorded video's | 09:52 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: unless you actually want an online server all the way? | 09:53 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: and not use your own machine | 09:53 |
| afidegnum | no | 09:53 |
| afidegnum | I want to store the recorded videos there | 09:53 |
| ram_ | thor | 09:54 |
| afidegnum | lotuspsychje: I can use zoneminder to save the videos remotely right? | 09:55 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: normally yes, its all about how you config it | 09:55 |
| afidegnum | ok | 09:56 |
| afidegnum | meaning i Have to use a different applications to play the video files online | 09:56 |
| afidegnum | am I right ? | 09:56 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: depending on how your vps will show those video files, you can stream then in a browser | 09:57 |
| afidegnum | ok | 09:58 |
| afidegnum | I understand | 09:58 |
| lotuspsychje | afidegnum: but we are getting a bit offtopic from ubuntu here | 09:58 |

| sandman13 | what would be the best downloader for ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| Beldar | !best | sandman13 | 10:24 |
| ubottu | sandman13: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:24 |

| Xeno-Genesis | I'm looking for someone who knows GTK+ enough to be dangerous to help me fix an Ubuntu bug | 10:28 |
| Xeno-Genesis | it's something that affects NetworkManager, I'm reading the code since a week ago and I'd like some guidance | 10:28 |
| Beldar | Xeno-Genesis, This is support, is there a bug reported? | 10:29 |
| Xeno-Genesis | sure | 10:29 |
| Xeno-Genesis | let me find it | 10:29 |
| SASDOE | guys i'm having trouble accessing my local server by it's domain name at home. i understand i need a loopback or another alternative. I was thinking i could change the computers local dns to one at the domain name registar | 10:30 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: what you just said makes no sense | 10:30 |
| SASDOE | is that a good idea or just plain stupid? what happens now is whenever i access my website at it's domain name i reach my router's page. | 10:30 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: why don't you just explain what's not working as you want | 10:31 |
| Xeno-Genesis | SASDOE, bug 1179070 | 10:31 |
| ubottu | bug 1179070 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "nm-applet show wrong characters on Modem broadband connection and sometimes crash." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1179070 | 10:31 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: sorry. Whenever I reach mywebsite.com, it works fine outside my network, but from inside my lan I reach my router, not the server hosting the website | 10:32 |
| Xeno-Genesis | SASDOE, it's quite easy to reproduce, I'm doing some debugging with Nevimer right now, but I'd like to get a GTK+ expert to help me out with a couple of questions | 10:32 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: where is the server hosting the website ? | 10:32 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: on my local network | 10:32 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: so where does dns point to ? | 10:33 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: not sure I understand. I would like to land on the same website wheter or not I am at home | 10:34 |
| SASDOE | Xeno-Genesis: I am not sure that has anything to do with my problem, but thanks. | 10:34 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: where is dns pointing your URL to | 10:34 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: my home ip I believe. | 10:35 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: so it's pointing at your public IP - which is bound to your router ? | 10:35 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: I have told my router to redirect port 80 to the server though | 10:37 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: right, so that's why it's not working | 10:37 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: your router will redirect from the outside world, you're not hitting it from the outside world, which is why you get the router welcome page | 10:37 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: what I don't understand is it used to work properly without a problem. Also now I have told the router that the server is called website.com, so souldn't the router send them straigt to the server? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: no, it's port forwarding, not dns resolution | 10:40 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: telling the router what the server is called means nothing | 10:40 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: the best way to fix this simpley for you is to put an entry in your /etc/host file on your client | 10:40 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: that would be a pain given I only own laptops that I constantly move around. | 10:41 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: then you need to set up dns and routing properly | 10:41 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: but the port forwarding works fine from the outside.. How can I fix it to work from the inside? | 10:42 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: setup dns properly | 10:42 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: or fix your router to act as a passthrough properly | 10:43 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: router settings are not modifiable because of tv and voip settings | 10:43 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: then you have a badly designed network | 10:44 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: I'm assuming you don't manage the dns server hosting your domain | 10:44 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: tell that to orange | 10:45 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: errr what has it got to do with orange ? | 10:45 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: no but I can, I think. | 10:45 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: who owns/manages the dns server hosting your domain | 10:45 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: it's their router that cannot have it's setting changed if I still want TV | 10:45 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: I believe it's gandi, the domain registar I bough my domain from. | 10:46 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: this problem has nothing to do with orange | 10:46 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: ok, so who manages the dns for your local network | 10:46 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: dns for my local network are enforced in the orange router. They cannot be modified. | 10:47 |
| ikonia | actually, we are moving out of range for a realistic solution for you | 10:47 |
| ikonia | SASDOE: talk to Orange then | 10:47 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: that's what I figured. | 10:47 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: so what I want is a loopback or pass-through? | 10:48 |
| ikonia | no | 10:48 |
| ikonia | loopback ???? | 10:48 |
| SASDOE | That's what some people recommend. But they are french so could be translation | 10:49 |
| ikonia | your router either needs to manage port forwarding better as a clean pass through (doubtful from what you are saying) or you need to map a local host entry to the internal ip address of the server, so it doesn't touch your router - but you said you didn't want to do that | 10:49 |
| SASDOE | ikonia: Ok I'll give it a try, thanks. | 10:50 |

| DJones | !gksudo | Thibultmol | 10:57 |
| ubottu | Thibultmol: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 10:57 |
| Thibultmol | Thank you guys. But something still isn't right. I'm following this guide http://www.noobslab.com/2013/10/add-open-as-rootadministrator-option-in.html but I need to restart nautilus but 'gksudo nautilus -q' doesnt work | 10:59 |
| MonkeyDust | Thibultmol it's a ppa, maybe you should contact the maintainer | 11:03 |
| Thibultmol | right | 11:04 |
| hst | hi all | 11:05 |
| Thibultmol | Would do you guys use when you have to open a file or folder'file explorer' as root. Do you use the terminal or some other methode that I don't know baout | 11:10 |
| ab` | i can't hide rhythmbox window, alt-f4 fully terminates it just like ctrl-q. any idea? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | just run the file manager as root | 11:12 |
| Thibultmol | Guess that's the best option | 11:12 |
| bekks | thats the worst idea. | 11:13 |
| ikonia | bekks: why is that the worst idea ? | 11:14 |
| bekks | Thibultmol: which folder do you talk about? | 11:14 |
| bekks | ikonia: Because people most likely just mess up permission or break other things when doing their work with a root filemanager and then forget about the fact they are using a root filemanager. | 11:15 |
| ikonia | bekks: that's their problem if they are not careful | 11:15 |
| meddy | i havving problems updating my system | 11:18 |
| Thibultmol | bekks: Just a folder from somewhere that I want to as root | 11:20 |

| aaaaaaaaaaa | Hi, I'm installing ubuntu 12.04.3 alongside windows 8 on a Lenovo y410P laptop and the partition manager is giving me a sliding scale for the resize of the windows GPT partition, but doesn't indicate which side will stay win8 and which will become ubuntu. Also, I just want to note that I had to manually turn on the backlight via FNkey+UParrow to see anything. | 11:40 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | I assume people here have installed ubuntu, so is there a Tooltip, or is windows always on the right in the installer, etc? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | aaaaaaaaaaa: you're "resizing" the exisitng partition - the existing partition is windows | 11:42 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | sure, but which side is which | 11:43 |
| ikonia | aaaaaaaaaaa: how many partitions are on your system | 11:43 |
| deanrock0 | ikonia: well, i thought that it would drop to login screen ... and not just "hang" | 11:43 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | 8 | 11:43 |
| ikonia | aaaaaaaaaaa: you have 8 partitions on your system ? | 11:43 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | err, 9, 8 hidden | 11:43 |
| hassen_ | Given that i entered this command to download Psysharper [ sudo apt-get install python-geoip python-tk tk8.5 python-pmw tcpdump ] where could I run the [ sudo make install ] command to install that application? | 11:43 |
| ikonia | aaaaaaaaaaa: what are all those partitions for ? | 11:43 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | yeah, lenovo ships it that way | 11:43 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | good question | 11:43 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | probably 1 is for the EFUI bootloader | 11:44 |
| ikonia | aaaaaaaaaaa: I'm not touching that, bottom line is you resize the partition and free spce will be before/after the partition you are resizing depending on where you drag the slider | 11:44 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | 1 is for the lenovo window installer since they don't give CDs or stickers anymore. not sure about the rest. | 11:44 |

| ubottu | Purefan: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 12:09 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | hassen_: I'm installing Ubuntu 12.04.03 as I type. But I want to also run it on 13.10 if possible (at least the binaries). | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | Purefan, in other words, download and install a currently supported distro - I suggest you go with 12.04 Long-Term-Support | 12:11 |
| Purefan | Thanks guys! I think I'll do that instead of upgrade :) | 12:13 |
| aguitel | anyone trying to install epson multifunction cx 5600 ? | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | Purefan, set your update options to LTS only and upgrade to 14.04 in April | 12:14 |
| Purefan | thing is I need to install mysql-server but the repos dont work anymore and dont want to download and compile unless I really have to | 12:14 |
| Purefan | and now that I learned that natty is no longer supported it makes sense to jump on the train and get a supported one | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | Purefan, bite the bullet, amigo. | 12:15 |
| Purefan | and Raring's EOF is in january lol | 12:15 |
| Purefan | oh yeah Duh! | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | Purefan, LTS has 5 years support ... | 12:16 |
| Purefan | sorry that's why 12.04 was recommended | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | :) | 12:16 |
| Purefan | :P going with Precise 8) | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | Purefan, if you have issues, ask here or in #ubuntuserver. By the way, I'm guessing your hardware is equally --- vintage - as your OS? You might want to get xubuntu or lubuntu as they are both optimized for older and lower spec machines | 12:17 |

| hassen_ | doh..i'm sure that when installing ubuntu, i chose my account's password as 'azertyb' but why can't that pass used for "su root" ? | 13:02 |
| ikonia | hassen_: because you don't "su root" | 13:02 |
| ikonia | hassen_: the root account is locked | 13:02 |
| hassen_ | does it have another known password? | 13:03 |
| yeats | hassen_: you want to change your password since you just shared it in a public and publicly logged IRC channel | 13:03 |
| ikonia | hassen_: no, it's "locked" | 13:03 |
| ikonia | !sudo | hassen_ | 13:03 |
| ubottu | hassen_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 13:03 |
| hassen_ | so how can I do some work involving 'su root'?? | 13:03 |
| ikonia | hassen_: read the link ubottu has just sent you | 13:04 |
| ikonia | hassen_: you should not su root at all | 13:04 |
| aaaaaaaaaaa | BluesKaj: if you run into the same issue on your g500 when you get it, I got it to working using a bootable bootloader (EFI boot manager utility) since grub fails to pull windows up. | 13:04 |

| lotuspsychje | BluesKaj: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EFIBootLoaders | 13:08 |
| UnHolyTerror | hassen_, By default the 'root' account is not assigned a password, so you couldn't login as root if you wanted too. The only way is to assign root a password then you can switch users/login as root just like any other account. | 13:09 |
| UnHolyTerror | hassen_, but you should see in those links why there is no need to do that. | 13:10 |

| hassen_ | UnHolyTerror, i deal much with bash scripting,root is required for many commands there. | 13:11 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:19 |

| young001 | hi,all I wanna split a file into two files,one is 100k,and the other is the left,how to do that? "split" command seems to only split file into same files | 13:26 |
| fault3r | Pici: where can i find i915? | 13:27 |
| llutz | young001: split -b 100k will do | 13:28 |
| fault3r | Pici: i found it :D | 13:28 |
| young001 | llutz, it seems split will split the file into same pieces of 100k | 13:28 |
| young001 | llutz, if a file is 300k,I wanna split into 100k and 200k | 13:29 |
| bekks | young001: then you are using it not correctly. | 13:29 |
| bekks | young001: you want to split into 200 and 100... | 13:29 |
| young001 | bekks, if the file is 500k,I wanna split into 100k and 400k | 13:29 |
| llutz | young001: split -b 400k | 13:30 |
| koyetsu | basically he only wants the first 100k in the first file | 13:30 |
| bekks | young001: 400 and 100, instead of 100 and 400. | 13:30 |
| llutz | whyever, makes no sense | 13:30 |
| koyetsu | sounds like he needs to parse the most recent logs or something | 13:30 |
| young001 | llutz, thx | 13:30 |
| bekks | koyetsu: then he should use grep and sed instead of split. | 13:31 |
| koyetsu | i didn't claim to be an expert | 13:31 |

| llutz | young001: dd if=file of=file1.out bs=100k count=1 same for the 2nd file with different bs | 13:31 |

| young001 | llutz, thx | 13:32 |
| bekks | llutz: head -c 100k ? | 13:32 |
| koyetsu | so any ideas on why ubuntu says it's iso isn't a valid mirror? | 13:32 |

| lotuspsychje | !tty | hassen | 14:03 |
| ubottu | hassen: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 14:03 |

| Thibaultmol | Hi all, I'm trying to install the latest nvidia linux drivers using this guide: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-the-Latest-NVIDIA-331-20-Drivers-in-Ubuntu-13-10-399182.shtml But I get an error at the last step saying I have to insert the Ubuntu 13.10 cd rom. How do I fix this | 14:45 |
| ^Jonni^ | привет | 14:47 |
| MrToaD | hi there, im having some major difficulties with AMD catalyst. Had installed via the "additional drivers" utility under System Settings. However this reported as 15.xxx.xxx etc. Wanted to try version 13.11 and 13.4, but that would not get me past grub screen. blank screen and system hang | 14:47 |
| MrToaD | have managed to uninstall the drivers and get system running | 14:48 |
| MrToaD | but when i try putting the drivers and catalyst back the normal way (which worked originally) i still end up with the blank screen and lockup | 14:48 |
| MrToaD | anyone able to help... ive a bunch of xorg.conf backups sitting around | 14:48 |
| MrToaD | from each attempt | 14:48 |

| Greyghostros | May not be the right place but need some help with data recovery.. My hdd has gone bad. I am trying to clone it with ddrescue but when the process starts it shows error: 1 and error size: size of partition. The partition was an ext3 which too is not being recognised. Using testdisk it does recognise it but any attempt to access it makes the hdd go offline. Is there anything i can try to recover? Thnanks | 14:50 |
| ^Jonni^ | Hello | 14:50 |
| hassen | i was downloading my ATI HD 3470 driver and now i got a "ati*.run file" | 14:51 |
| hassen | how to install it? | 14:51 |
| hassen | double-clicking doesn't seem to be the choice | 14:51 |
| MrToaD | sudo bash etc.run | 14:52 |
| koyetsu | hassen have you bothered to read the installation instructions? | 14:52 |
| MrToaD | or there are people saying you must get it into dpgk acceptable form | 14:52 |
| MrToaD | but im stuck on a more serious issue | 14:52 |
| MrToaD | as i cannot get a stable system running any more, when reverting to installing through "additional hardware" | 14:52 |
| MrToaD | this is worrying | 14:52 |
| MrToaD | can't start up system at all after trying the other drivers | 14:52 |
| === 18WAE7JTR is now known as Litandus | ||
| MrToaD | unless i boot into recovery mode | 14:53 |
| MrToaD | and remove them | 14:53 |
| MrToaD | reboot... | 14:53 |
| MrToaD | gone round that circle a few times, it completely hangs | 14:53 |
| koyetsu | MrToaD, i honestly don't use X so my only advice is blow it up and start over | 14:53 |
| hassen | MrToaD, what? | 14:53 |
| MrToaD | koyetsu: im thinking that, but i cant | 14:54 |
| koyetsu | why not? | 14:54 |
| lotuspsychje | MrToaD: how about fix broken packages from recoverymode? | 14:54 |
| MrToaD | but they are not broken packages | 14:54 |
| MrToaD | i did a force install, thats what broke it | 14:54 |

| adamu | Hello | 15:27 |
| MrHacks | I just had a thought. What MTP software SHOULDN'T I install, or what MTP Software should I remove? http://i.imgur.com/Pe2Uarc.png | 15:29 |
| MrHacks | I'm starting to believe the reason I could never get any of my MTP devices to connect anymore (an why I see these messages in dmesg http://pastebin.com/N1xfubFD ) is because I may have installed conflicting software. | 15:29 |
| mathieg2 | Have you purged all your mtp packages? | 15:30 |
| mathieg2 | apt-get purge xxx | 15:30 |
| DeepBlue | EM255E37: | 15:31 |
| MrHacks | I don't think I need to get rid of all my MTP software. Just whatever it is that doesn't let me connect my KFHD7 to my computer anymore. | 15:32 |
| MrMonkey31 | hoy! anyone know whether an ACPI=off param in the cmdline is the same as turning off ACPI in bios? or does it put it in some standby mode or switch it on occasionally for some nefarious purposes or whatever? | 15:32 |
| papa__ | does anyone know a mail client where you can click several messages for deletion at once? | 15:33 |
| DJones | papa__: I use thunderbird & can do that | 15:34 |
| mathieg2 | MrHacks> for android devices - I think the Kindle fire still counts - I find the adb tools are the most reliable way of doing mtp stuff | 15:35 |
| mathieg2 | let me look up the actual package name | 15:35 |
| papa__ | DJones thank you I will try that now | 15:35 |
| mathieg2 | its android-tools-fsutils | 15:36 |
| adamu | MrMonkey31, I believe if you pass ACPI=off as a boot parameter through the kernel command line it disables acpi in the kernel but it is still enabled in the bios its just not being used | 15:37 |
| MrHacks | That would be good mathieg2, if only I could CONNECT the device. I also have android-tools-fsutils installed as well as android-tools-fastboot and android-tools-adb | 15:38 |
| MrHacks | Again, whenever I plug it in I see this message in dmesg http://pastebin.com/N1xfubFD | 15:38 |
| MrMonkey31 | adamu: alright, not being used... by the kernel? by the chipset? I'm sry for being vague, I know so little though | 15:40 |
| as | MrHacks: try a different cable and/or do not use hubs | 15:40 |
| as | had that a few times, was always one of those two | 15:41 |
| MrHacks | as, did that. I own several cables. I used two different hubs. Still got http://pastebin.com/N1xfubFD | 15:41 |
| PatrickDickey | MrMonkey31: I believe that he means that the kernel won't be using it. The capability will still be available in the hardware (BIOS), but the software/operating system will be ignoring it. | 15:42 |
| as | try no hub at all | 15:42 |
| MrHacks | as: what do you mean by "try no hub at all"? | 15:42 |
| MrMonkey31 | adamu: in any case it looks like I can't fail with bios level disabling. I'm trying to troubleshoot some hw, and people have told me acpi is a culprit. also linus does not like it!! | 15:42 |
| MrMonkey31 | -understood | 15:43 |
| as | my last phone required to be kooked up to the rear port of my pc, couldn't even use the front ports on my case | 15:43 |
| papa__ | DJones | 15:43 |
| as | and could not use the hub in my monitor | 15:43 |
| papa__ | I don't see the option for that DJones | 15:43 |
| adamu | MrMonkey31, Well it is my understanding that if you disable it with the kernel command line it is not used by the operating system so that might be worth a shot but yeah you can't go wrong disabling it at the bios level | 15:43 |
| adamu | PatrickDickey, Yeah that is what I was trying to say | 15:44 |
| DJones | papa__: I just left click using Ctrl+left click and then press delete | 15:44 |
| MrHacks | as, so try the USB ports on the back of the computer? I think I only have USB3 ports avaiable back there, but I will attempt it | 15:45 |
| as | and your best cable :) | 15:45 |
| papa__ | DJones thanks.. What i was trying to do was make this easier for my grandfather who is 87 delete his mail. getting it online with ads and everything is causing him to click everwhere he shouldn't. The interface of thunderbird/evolution is simple enough for him but hes looking for that feature. Teaching him to hold CNTRL is like a two day process haha | 15:46 |
| adamu | MrHacks, I don't know if this will fit your needs but have you tried accessing it using PTP instead of MTP that is what I ended up doing and I haven't had any reason to switch to MTP because PTP works just fine | 15:46 |
| juniour | slug y i got this pastebin.com/D1qSXLWwa | 15:47 |
| juniour | www.pastebin.com/D1qSXLWwa | 15:47 |
| MrHacks | adamu: PTP is not available on KFHD7 | 15:48 |
| PatrickDickey | papa__: What exactly are you trying to do? Delete multiple messages, or permanently delete them (bypassing Trash)? | 15:48 |
| papa__ | PatrickDickey delete multiple messages | 15:49 |
| juniour | guys plz look at this www.pastebin.com/D1qSXLWwa | 15:49 |
| adamu | MrHacks, Oh okay I was not aware of that | 15:50 |
| PatrickDickey | papa__: You could try CTRL key + A key to select all, then Shift+ Delete (or just Delete if you want them to go to the trash folder). | 15:51 |
| OerHeks | juniour, that paste is deleted, so what now? | 15:51 |
| PatrickDickey | Make sure you click on one of the messages first though (so it deletes those). | 15:52 |
| juniour | wait | 15:52 |
| juniour | will send you agin | 15:52 |
| juniour | check now http://pastebin.com/jmx1QnVC | 15:52 |
| papa__ | PatrickDickey, I get that.. but what I am looking for is to check on a box on the left side of the message and be able to select several then click on the trash icon and have them gone. | 15:53 |
| papa__ | He needs simple process, would like to keep it the same as it always has been for him | 15:53 |
| juniour | i am not able to install linux header | 15:54 |
| coryn|drunk | is there a package for manpages for developers? I'm missing a few things, | 15:54 |
| juniour | uname -r give 3.6.11+ | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Papa__: right click email -> delete | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Juniour: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 15:55 |
| papa__ | ActionParsnip then we run into the problem not doing multiple at a time.. | 15:55 |
| MrHacks | Plugging in the device to one of the back USB ports did not resolve the issue. as, using a different USB port has failed and has only repeated problem in dmesg | 15:55 |
| juniour | ActionParsnip its raspberry pi | 15:55 |
| OerHeks | juniour, seems like an old kernel/ubuntu version to me, what version are you on? | 15:56 |
| papa__ | i guess i'll have to give him the option of going online and getting it or trying to use the cntrl key | 15:56 |
| adamu | papa__, Why not keep using gmail and just install a good ad blocker because it sounds like that is what he is already using so it might be easier for him to keep using that and the ad blocker should block the ads | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Juniour: doesnt answer my question | 15:56 |
| papa__ | because its netscape not gmail.... | 15:56 |
| papa__ | believe me Gmail would be much better | 15:56 |
| juniour | uname -a output :Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11+ #538 PREEMPT Fri Aug 30 20:42:08 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux | 15:56 |

| ActionParsnip | Juniour: true but this channel is ubuntu support only | 15:58 |
| DJones | juniour: Raspian isn't based on Ubuntu, however I think they have their own support channel #rasbian (could be a ##rasbian) | 15:58 |
| Maddeth | Hey all, anyone know if there is a netatalk channel? Or anyone able to help me with some netatalk issues? | 15:58 |
| juniour | DJones i talked about linux | 15:58 |
| adamu | juniour, There might not be a linux headers package available for arm architectures?? | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Juniour: every distro has its own channel. You can get distro unspecific support in #linux | 15:59 |
| DJones | juniour: This channel only supports the official Ubuntu releases, you'll need to ask in the channel for your distro | 15:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Juniour: you arent using Ubuntu so are not supported here | 15:59 |
| juniour | adamu i given thsi command to search sudo apt-cache search linux-headers* | 15:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Juniour: its that clean cut. | 15:59 |
| papa__ | My other question is, Does anyone know how to change the double click speed in Lubuntu? | 15:59 |
| juniour | ActionParsnip i am on ubuntu 12.04 but need to configure my other pc | 16:00 |

| wsky | why do you guys rewrite boot sector every time anything grub related gets updated :/ | 16:00 |
| wsky | i just fried a tc encrypted volume because of that | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Juniour: you arent. You are using raspian which is not supported here | 16:00 |
| mustafa_ | hi>>>>>i want to build a cloud with open stack >>>>i only can offer 2 machines>>>>with core2 duo E7400 cpu and 4GB ram each .......can it be done ? | 16:00 |
| adamu | mustafa_, Yeah I don't see why you couldn't | 16:00 |
| juniour | ActionParsnip k bro chill. i am user of ubuntu only | 16:01 |
| wsky | ok then a question, what console locale should i set to use a preboot-identical keymap? | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Juniour: you issue file says raspian. So its not ubuntu | 16:01 |
| MrMonkey31 | hay, openCL -- does anyone know if it can increase performance on my 4 core cpu system (directly or indirectly)? is that what it is for? | 16:02 |

| juniour | ActionParsnip what you say about this bro .Linux juniour 3.2.0-56-generic-pae #86-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 23 17:51:27 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux | 16:02 |

| papa__ | ActionParsnip, Funny thing is I changed the speed several times like that and its still not taking affect I thought i was wrong | 16:03 |
| wsky | google is useless nodays | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Juniour: i asked you for the output of the file and you said raspian, the kernel you want headers for is raspian. You may have another pc with ubuntu but the issue you are having is with raspian which is not supported here | 16:03 |
| papa__ | Just saw that you have to log out and log back in | 16:04 |
| papa__ | haha | 16:04 |

| pozz | I know there is a solution, I found one with google a few months ago for a different computer I have. | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Pozz: is it the same with other text editors likebleafpad? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Like leafpad | 16:10 |
| r0x | ActionParsnip: so... can u help me? | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: patience child. Jesus | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2124825.html | 16:12 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 16:12 |
| pozz | I am not sure about leafpad | 16:12 |
| cristian_c | I installed qt4-qtconfig. When I open the qt configuration tool, I change the font type and size. Then I select File-> Save, and the string 'Saved changes.' appears in the statusbar | 16:13 |
| cristian_c | But if I close and reopen the configuration tool, I find the previous settings, as if I had not made any changes | 16:13 |
| pozz | leafpad works fine | 16:13 |
| PatrickDickey | pozz: Why are you not sure about it? | 16:13 |
| jhutchins | r0x: Did you try what Togusa suggested? | 16:14 |
| cristian_c | I installed the libqt4-core package but it had no effect. Same result installing qt4 qtconfig again. It seems to be an issue related to fonts: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564548 but I did not understand the meaning of the last message in that report | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Pozz: then you know it is only gedit with issue | 16:14 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 564548 in qt4-qtconfig "qt4-qtconfig does not store font settings" [Normal,Open] | 16:14 |
| * PatrickDickey scratch that. I missed the first part of the issue. | 16:14 | |
| cristian_c | I tried to make a change in the settings either with the guest user or creating a new user. Unfortunately, the problem also occurs in these cases. Any idea? | 16:14 |
| pozz | PatrickDickey, because I did not try it until now | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Pozz: is there a config for gedit in settings somewhere youncan remove to get default configs | 16:15 |
| pozz | Thanks ActionParsnip, it is good to know | 16:15 |
| cristian_c | *ideas | 16:15 |
| r0x | ActionParsnip: i think it's useless to edito rc.local 'cause it will modify the startup configuration of my pc | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Pozz: is it the same in all sessions. Try Unity2D if you are using Precise | 16:15 |
| r0x | My problem, instead, occurs all during the execution time of the OS | 16:15 |
| pozz | ActionParsnip, so you are suggesting this might be somthing I configured? I don't think I changed anything about gedit | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: yes, why is that useless? | 16:16 |
| r0x | because, in that way, you will modify the brightness of the display at startup but it will don't override the brightness during all the time you logged in | 16:17 |
| pozz | okay, well I will have to log out for a brief moment to try unity 2D, brb | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x:did you try the boot options on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1875982&page=3 | 16:17 |
| r0x | it must be something related to the power saving or something like that | 16:17 |
| MrHacks | OK, new theory. I looked at /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids. (see http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids) Every Kindle except the HD 7 and the HDX is listed in this file. Although I wrote a /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file, the fact that the KFHD7 is not listed as one of the devices in usb.ids could be a clue as to why things are not recognized. | 16:18 |
| r0x | The guy said that: You can adjust the brightness to remain at a "fixed desired" level at each reboot by following this: | 16:19 |
| MrHacks | cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules only has one line in it | 16:19 |
| MrHacks | SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR={idVendor}=="1949", ATTR{idProduct}=="0007", MODE="0666" | 16:19 |
| llutz | MrHacks: "sudo update-usbids" | 16:19 |
| r0x | but i think that are something of ubuntu that change the brightness indipendently | 16:20 |
| r0x | however, i'll try it | 16:20 |
| pozz | ActionParsnip, the bug continues in ubuntu 2D. but there is more, in 2D, it opens a flashy icon in the launcher that just does nothing, even when click. it is replace with the text document the second time I try to open the file | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: did you try the boot options listed? | 16:21 |
| MrHacks | llutz: The file is up to date. However, the device is not listed. 'Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9"' is listed but not 'Amazon Kindle HD 7"' | 16:21 |
| llutz | MrHacks: isn't the syntax "ATTRS{idVendor}=="0xxx", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0xyy" " now? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Pozzz: ok it definately is gedit then and not the WM causing the issue | 16:21 |
| r0x | ActionParsnip: yes... some time ago... | 16:22 |
| MrHacks | llutz: No, ATTR is correct. ATTRS is incorrect | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | R0x: i siggest you report a bug then. Arebyou on the 3.8 kernel? | 16:22 |
| MrHacks | I only have less than a half hour left to hang out here. So if we can wrap this up so, that would be most helpful | 16:24 |
| MrHacks | s/up so/up soon/ | 16:24 |
| llutz | MrHacks: ok, but why are you using 2 different syntaxes here? ATTR={idVendor}=="1949", ATTR{idProduct}=="0007" | 16:24 |
| pozz | So anyone else have the 'have to open gedit twice' bug? | 16:25 |
| MrHacks | Explain? One is the attribute for the manufacturer. The other is the attrbute for the possible device ID. I wrote this based on a file floating around online | 16:25 |

| DRice7 | hey guys, I installed Ubuntu 13.10 server on a machine with an LG TV as a monitor connected to the ASRock E3C224-V+ motherboard integrated VGA. I moved the server to it's new location and now it won't boot with any other VGA monitor attached. I can detach a monitor and it boots after a little extra time. I can even plug the monitor in after booting to get tty access by using CTRL-ALT-F1, but getting into tty7 takes the monitor out of range. This has been plagui | 16:38 |
| PDilyard | my HP Pavilion laptop wont wake from suspend. When I close the lid or click suspend, it will just remain at a black screen until i power it off and restart it. if i set the close lid action to "nothing" my fan runs quite a lot and the computer gets a little hot inside its case | 16:39 |
| nashant | Hey, is it possible to use an array of values from a defaults file in an init script? I'm trying to start multiple vnc servers with different resolutions (one for laptop connection, one for tablet) | 16:39 |
| schmiedc | i3luefire: is you ssh-daemon running? | 16:39 |
| i3luefire | should be | 16:39 |
| DRice7 | nashant: I would like to know how you got that working...once you get it working :) | 16:40 |
| schmiedc | to you get a response from your server via ping | 16:40 |
| schmiedc | or maybe some firewall blocks your ssh port | 16:40 |
| DRice7 | if you are talking to me, yes i can ping and firewall is not a problem | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: is there a GUI installed on the system? With mouse pointer and Firefox web browser etc? | 16:41 |
| DRice7 | Action, I installed ubuntu desktop...yes i know - it's a server but i did it anyway lol | 16:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: then its a server OS. If you needed a desktop OS why not just install the desktop ISO? | 16:42 |
| DRice7 | lets not go with the freakin grumbles here. I needed it - it happened, let's move forward | 16:42 |

| boris | hi | 16:43 |
| i3luefire | i can log into it with webmin | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: do the services given by the server start ok? Can you SSH to the server? | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | I3lufire: webmin will break yoir OS | 16:44 |
| DRice7 | yeah, everything works like a dream except for the DISPLAY which always goes to "Unable to Open Display" | 16:44 |
| DRice7 | i tried changing the env variable but that didn't help | 16:44 |
| i3luefire | schmiedc, it says type 2 (protocol error) now | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: then who cares what the GUI is doing? Server is operational and doing it's job.... | 16:45 |
| DRice7 | I've decided that it is a resolution issue, and my monitor is not being detected because it's running through VGA | 16:45 |
| DRice7 | I need to move Terabytes of files, and filezilla is preferable | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: why not connect to the server using Nautilus and it will act like local storage. Lots easier | 16:46 |
| DRice7 | Nautilus? | 16:46 |
| PDilyard | the file explorer | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: yes, the default file manager in Ubuntu | 16:46 |
| DRice7 | mmm, pulling files off of a DLINKNAS on the network | 16:46 |

| medsopq236 | hello | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: you will see the remote files and can copy and paste files as if they were local and its all managed for you. It can connect to SSHFS | 16:47 |
| adamu | DRice7, Try restarting the ssh server through webmin? | 16:47 |
| adamu | medsopq236, Hello how are you? | 16:48 |
| DRice7 | i broke my webmin install at some point, need to fix that | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: if you port forward through your router you can access the data at any time from anywhere with a web connection and securely | 16:48 |
| DRice7 | sweet, can i setup nautilus in the CLI | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !webmin | 16:48 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 16:48 |
| DRice7 | lol, that explains alot - what's the webmin alternative | 16:48 |
| PDilyard | my HP Pavilion laptop wont wake from suspend. When I close the lid or click suspend, it will just remain at a black screen until i power it off and restart it. if i set the close lid action to "nothing" my fan runs quite a lot and the computer gets a little hot inside its case | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: nautilus is used on the client pc, not the server side | 16:49 |
| adamu | Alright I don't use webmin so I wouldn't know | 16:49 |
| * PatrickDickey wonders how accurate the webmin information is... Just saying because the webmin site says they've tested it against Ubuntu and other debian based distros without issues. | 16:49 | |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: for a webmin alternative, read ubottu's output fully | 16:49 |
| alocer | DRice7, go duckduckgo and search for "alternative to webmin " | 16:49 |
| DRice7 | PatrickDickey: It worked fine for me..until it stopped working on init.d | 16:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: oh the factoid changed | 16:49 |
| schmiedc | i3luefire, didn't got this one before | 16:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !ebox | 16:49 |
| ubottu | zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 16:49 |

| Rexter | ActionParsnip; ok, it shows in the network setting, but says unmanaged. | 16:50 |
| MrHacks | OK, new theory. Do I really need ATTR{idProduct} when I write a udev rule? I know who the vendor is, and the vendor is listed, just not the product itself. | 16:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Rexter: did you set it's IP in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 16:51 |
| MrMonkey31 | sorry if this is badly formed: is there a short answer to why'd I get "make[2]: *** No rule to make target `relpath'. Stop." when running make? building 32-bit wine, just looking for a "duh" type mistake I might have made. ideas? | 16:52 |
| * MrHacks only has a few minutes left to chat | 16:52 | |
| i3luefire | schmiedc, i think that was there before but fully it says http://pastebin.com/CtYXKNCm | 16:52 |
| Rexter | ActionParsnip; no | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrmonkey31: wine is in the repos. Why are you building it | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Rexter: hmm, try: sudo dhclient eth0 | 16:54 |
| Rexter | ActionParsnip; Nothing special. I'll want it dhcp | 16:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Rexter: does it succeed? | 16:54 |
| adamu | MrMonkey31, What is the full output of make | 16:54 |
| DRice7 | ActionParsnip: I run windows - Nautilus was not built for me | 16:55 |
| adamu | DRice7, Maybe try connecting to the SSH server with filezilla over SFTP? | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: ahhh there is an application for windows so you can map a network drive to SSHFS | 16:56 |
| PatrickDickey | DRice7: Why do you say that? 99% of the people who are using Linux probably used Windows before. | 16:56 |
| Rexter | ActionParsnip; Cannot find device "eth0" | 16:56 |
| DRice7 | and still need to figure out why I can't boot my machine if it's connected VGA | 16:56 |
| bunnyflop | v | 16:56 |
| DRice7 | PatrickDickey: what? | 16:56 |
| MrMonkey31 | adamu: oh boy.... http://pastebin.com/yC46hyHi - thanks for readin'! | 16:56 |
| DRice7 | ActionParsnip: reaalllly | 16:56 |
| PatrickDickey | DRice7: You said I run Windows - Nautilus was not built for me. | 16:57 |
| DRice7 | PatrickDickey: You took it too literally, slow your roll homie | 16:57 |
| DRice7 | PatrickDickey: As in, the binary will not run on my system. | 16:57 |
| MrMonkey31 | ActionParsnip: why are you NOT building wine? don't you want to squeeze the max goodness out of your win32 bins? | 16:57 |
| PatrickDickey | lol I'm blaming lack of sleep, and the fact that I've spent the last few days staring Windows 8 in the face... | 16:57 |
| pozz | Can anyone tell me if this is a bad idea: I moved the gedit binary to gedit.bin, then I created a shell-script named "gedit" that calls gedit.bin with the --standalone option | 16:58 |
| DRice7 | Windows 8 is the worst thing that ever happened to PCs | 16:58 |
| pozz | it solved my 'have to open gedit twice' bug | 16:58 |
| DRice7 | pozz: that should be legit | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrmonkey31: unless you change thebbuild config you will get the exact same config and performance of the Ubuntu build | 16:59 |
| adamu | MrMonkey31, I am not sure what the problem is.. are you trying to build 32bit wine on a 64bit system? | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrmonkey31: did you change anything in the configuration file, or any code | 16:59 |
| pozz | Thanks DRice7. My concern is if i ever try to remove gedit... what would happen if the binary has been renamed to a .bin | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Pozz: what was the magic bullet? | 16:59 |
| DRice7 | it will error out, or remove everything but the bin | 17:00 |
| pozz | I moved the gedit binary to gedit.bin, then I created a shell-script named "gedit" that calls gedit.bin with the --standalone option | 17:00 |
| adamu | ActionParsnip, Wouldn't he get 'slightly' better performance with processor specific compiler optimizations? | 17:00 |
| sacto1358 | ey guys where are you from? | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Adamu: very very little | 17:00 |
| MrMonkey31 | adamu: indeed I am. I've gotten this error periodically, no idea why, no radical alterations to the config line, was looking for a really short, obvious answer that only a newbie mighta been unaware of. dw about it, I'm content to leave this | 17:00 |
| DRice7 | sacto1358: murica - why are we playing a/s/l? | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Adamu: its a common misconception | 17:00 |
| jhutchins | adamu: If you think that makes a difference you should run gentoo. | 17:00 |
| pozz | DRice7, that scares me a little | 17:00 |
| DRice7 | pozz: don't remove gedit, problem solved. | 17:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Jhutchins: i have a gentoo box | 17:01 |
| adamu | jhutchins, I was just wondering I didn't think it made that much of a different | 17:01 |
| pozz | DRice7, I may want to reinstall it to try fixing a different, unknown to me at this moment, bug... | 17:01 |
| DRice7 | pozz: the just create a small bash script to call the binary with the option | 17:02 |
| DRice7 | again, problem solved | 17:02 |
| Rexter | ActionParsnip; thanks for your help on this. Cannot find device "eth0" | 17:02 |
| sacto1358 | guys where are you from? | 17:02 |
| sacto1358 | usa? | 17:02 |
| DRice7 | sacto1358: it's the internet - probably from everywhere. | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Rexter: ok run the lshw command again, what interface name does it have? | 17:02 |
| OerHeks | sacto1358, do you have an ubuntu support issue? | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Sacto1358: that is moot here, this is support | 17:03 |
| DRice7 | ActionParsnip, do you have a rec. for that program that maps SSHFS in windows? | 17:03 |
| sacto1358 | i try use other chat | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | MrMonkey31: if you dont change the build options, you will get the exact same binaries which come in via apt-get | 17:03 |
| jhutchins | MrMonkey31: Perhaps it's time to read up on the format of makefiles. If make reports no target "foo" it means that the makefile doesn't have a section named "foo". | 17:03 |
| adamu | MrMonkey31, When I was building wine on Slackware on a 64bit system I had to setup multilib | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: you do, press UP cursor in the terminal, magic! | 17:04 |
| jhutchins | MrMonkey31: This is why it is useful to read the README and INSTALL files, if provided. | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Drice7: then change the interface name in the command I gave | 17:05 |
| DRice7 | ActionParsnip: not catching the subtle comedy in your response... | 17:05 |
| DRice7 | oh snap | 17:05 |
| DRice7 | I didn't see a command brb | 17:05 |
| Belial` | anyone having issues with thunderbird no sending notifications of new mail? | 17:05 |
| MrMonkey31 | adamu: aye, and go through a minor heck involving it. but you can't build the 64 bit wine if you want to do what most wine users use wine for. to clarify, I'm not noob at this task, just in general I am. | 17:06 |
| Rexter | ActionParsnip; same as before. I thought it was a driver issue. What we have done has changed my mind in that. I think the interface is installed, just to connected to the network management tool somehow. | 17:06 |
| Thibaultmol | Hi all, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to add what I have to put in the custom_40 file to make a entry to boot into init3 | 17:06 |
| MrMonkey31 | jhutchins: I try to be effective, but don't you agree that sometimes there's a really short quick reason, but you've got to ask that right question? guess this wasn't one of those cases, that's all | 17:06 |
| adamu | MrMonkey31, Okay | 17:06 |
| DRice7 | ActionParsnip: okay i scrolled up, I see no command lol - can you throw it out again | 17:07 |

| saotome | I am trying to make an upstart service. I created the .conf file in /etc/init (https://gist.github.com/enmanuelr/7721603). When I try to start the service I get the usual "start/running" state, but the process isn't actually running. What am I doing wrong? | 17:08 |
| Thibaultmol | Does anyone know how to add an entry in GRUB to make linux boot in init3? | 17:10 |
| llutz | !runlevel | Thibaultmol there is no "init 3" in ubuntu | 17:10 |
| ubottu | Thibaultmol there is no "init 3" in ubuntu: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 17:10 |
| llutz | !nox | Thibaultmol this might do what you want | 17:11 |
| ubottu | Thibaultmol this might do what you want: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Thibaultmol: add the boot option "text" and it will boot to runlevel 3 | 17:11 |
| Thibaultmol | Basicly what I'm trying to do is install the official Nvidia driver and I'm kinda new to all of this and all of it seems like I'm doing something wrong | 17:12 |

| === anchx1 is now known as anchx | ||

| Rexter | Thibaultmol; can't you use the repositories? | 17:14 |
| === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY | ||
| Thibaultmol | The weird thing was that it says I have to pop in the install disk which makes me thing I'm doing something wrong | 17:14 |
| PatrickDickey | Thibaultmol: If you have the .deb file downloaded, you use sudo dpkg -i name.deb | 17:15 |
| i3luefire | where can i read the log files for sshd? | 17:15 |
| anchx | I am having troubles installing py_bcrypt OR bcrypt at 12.04 with python 3.2, any idea? | 17:15 |
| PatrickDickey | Thibaultmol: That probably means that your disc is still listed in the sources files. | 17:15 |
| adamu | Thibaultmol, make sure you blacklist nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d/ since you can't install the nvidia drivers while nouveau is loaded | 17:15 |
| _root_ | In nginx i get 2013/11/30 20:06:01 [crit] 2403#0: *8 connect() to unix:/var/run/php5-fpm/forums.socket failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, but i did mkdir -p /var/run/php5-fpm/ | 17:16 |

| ActionParsnip | Pos_: or use the menu in the top right | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Pos_: it uses polkit | 17:20 |

| stowelly | even the @keyboard layout chart@ that it shows in the settings shows UK layout, so i dont understand the issue.... | 17:21 |
| adamu | you could make it suid? sudo chmod +s /usr/sbin/reboot - (would this be secure) | 17:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Pos_: or you can add it in sudoers so that certain users can use the shutdown command etc. | 17:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Adanu: nice! | 17:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Pos_: use suid as above :-) | 17:22 |

| saotome | usr13 "Jobs are defined in files placed in /etc/init, the name of the job is the filename under this directory without the .conf extension. They are plain text files and should not be executable." | 18:07 |

| usr13 | Oh, it's not the script? | 18:07 |
| saotome | usr13, I feel like I'm missing something | 18:08 |
| usr13 | saotome: That is not where the conf file goes. Just in /etc is ok | 18:08 |
| saotome | usr13, I have the conf file, and the exec line points to a binary. There is no "script". Is that what I'm missing? | 18:08 |
| usr13 | saotome: You are missing something. .conf is for a config file, not a start script. | 18:09 |
| saotome | usr13, so the conf should point to the script, and the script should point to the binary? | 18:09 |

| * PatrickDickey I have skype. | 19:20 | |
| daftykins | DRice7: is this not a server system with a server OS though? | 19:20 |
| DRice7 | PatrickDickey: The site is a bit shoddy for navigation - thanks for the info :) | 19:20 |
| Brute | message me your skype | 19:20 |
| DRice7 | daftykins: I know, I know - why do I need a GUI...I'm moving a bunch of files using Filezilla from my DLINKNAS to the local hard drives | 19:20 |
| PatrickDickey | Brute: Um, I only message my skype name to hot women. LOL Is there a particular problem that you're having? | 19:21 |
| Somelauw | not sure what ice tea is, but the file I mentioned does exist, so there is no reason update-alternatives shouldn't find it | 19:21 |
| Brute | yes with Tor | 19:21 |
| Brute | I do all the things people say on ubuntuforums and i still get the same error | 19:21 |
| daftykins | DRice7: which protocols does said NAS file share with? it'd be easy to copy them over with samba access | 19:21 |
| PatrickDickey | What error are you getting Brute? | 19:22 |
| DRice7 | samba is super slow | 19:22 |
| DRice7 | talking about TBs of data | 19:22 |
| PatrickDickey | Somelauw: icedtea is the open source version of Java. | 19:22 |
| daftykins | DRice7: hrmm over gigabit LAN it shouldn't be :D | 19:22 |
| PatrickDickey | !java > Somelauw | 19:22 |
| Brute | Vidalia was unable to start Tor. Check your settings to ensure the correct name and location of your Tor executable is specified. | 19:22 |
| ubottu | Somelauw, please see my private message | 19:22 |
| Somelauw | I didn't know about update-java-alternatives. I first tried setting them each manually, then I just uninstalled java6, so everything got updated automatically. | 19:22 |
| Brute | i downloaded tor from ubuntu software thingy. | 19:22 |
| Somelauw | PatrickDickey: if apt-get install openjdk7 install icetea, then yes | 19:22 |
| DRice7 | dafty, 10 MB/s vs 25 MB/s difference using FTP over samba for this configuration | 19:22 |
| Somelauw | then i got icetea | 19:23 |
| PatrickDickey | tor | Brute | 19:23 |
| PatrickDickey | Sorry. | 19:23 |
| Brute | yes | 19:23 |
| PatrickDickey | !tor | Brute | 19:23 |
| ubottu | Brute: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 19:23 |
| Brute | i know | 19:23 |
| daftykins | DRice7: anyway, i see googling the exact graphics driver gives ubuntu and other distro downloads for a graphics driver from Asus | 19:23 |
| DRice7 | PatrickDickey: I have an auutogen.sh - but when I run it, I get an error about autoreconf not being found | 19:23 |
| Somelauw | PatrickDickey: So icetea is a codename for openjdk? | 19:24 |
| daftykins | DRice7: i would certainly trust Asus file downloads, or even the graphics manufacturer 'ASpeed' themselves | 19:24 |
| PatrickDickey | Brute: It sounds like it didn't install right, or you need a symlink to the actual bin file. | 19:24 |
| DRice7 | daftykins, holy hell what google search did you do | 19:24 |
| PatrickDickey | Somelauw: It's the version name, If I remember right. | 19:24 |
| Brute | i installed it from Ubuntu Software center not torproject | 19:24 |
| daftykins | DRice7: first i googled the motherboard and came up with: http://www.asrock.com/server/overview.asp?Model=E3C224-V%2B | 19:25 |
| PatrickDickey | Brute: That doesn't matter. Their documentation will still help you figure out the problem. | 19:25 |
| daftykins | DRice7: that told me the adapter is an Aspeed AST1300 (perhaps you can confirm with 'lspci' ?) | 19:25 |

| daftykins | DRice7: so a completely different board admittedly, but it has downloads for that adapter for Ubuntu versions, give it a try: http://www.asus.com/gr/support/Download/5/33/P9D-C4L/8/ | 19:26 |

| jmgk | ok guys | 19:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: can you pastebin the output of: df -h | 19:34 |
| jmgk | overall what is a better client for Ubuntu. Irssi or chat? | 19:34 |
| dougl | jmgk, we will get frowned at if we chat in here but is this text colored | 19:34 |
| jmgk | I know it depends on the preferences | 19:34 |
| dougl | xchat | 19:34 |
| jmgk | ? | 19:34 |
| jmgk | hm | 19:34 |
| dougl | xchat is what I found years ago and I am comfortable with it jmgk | 19:35 |
| jmgk | ah | 19:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | dougl: if you want a graphical client go with hexchat, otherwise irssi or weechat seem to be the more popular in cli | 19:35 |
| jmgk | I feel like more and more are going to text based clients per se | 19:35 |

| hitsujiTMO | jmgk: i'm using hexchat. I haven't actually tested the cli clients | 19:36 |
| * dougl googling hexchat | 19:36 | |
| jmgk | ah | 19:36 |
| jmgk | Hexchat is a newer version of Xchat dougl | 19:36 |
| jmgk | its the same thing | 19:36 |

| hassen | omg...i got many thoughts about what to install and try in ubuntu so much that i became confused ,and finally i ended up staring at the scren haha | 19:37 |
| hassen | *screen* | 19:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: have you tried running?: fstrim -v / | 19:38 |
| pero | hitsujiTMO: no - should i? | 19:38 |
| dougl | hassen, what do you do on your computer? | 19:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: try it. although i don't think its your issue, but can be worth a shot | 19:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: also have you enabled automatic trim? | 19:39 |
| hassen | dougl, can't tell what exactly..maybe i must refresh my mind a bit. | 19:39 |
| pero | trim should be enabled | 19:40 |
| pero | ,/: 59467685888 bytes were trimmed | 19:40 |
| * hassen is curious about ubuntu | 19:40 | |
| dougl | hassen, pm? | 19:41 |
| hassen | dougl, sure | 19:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: looks like its not. if those apps are dealing with a lot of tiny files then having auto trim on may cause problems. | 19:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: from that output i'm guessing trim is not enabled atleast | 19:41 |
| pero | yeah, that's 55gb | 19:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: when it slows down, what exactly is happening? | 19:43 |
| pero | hitsujiTMO: just really slow reads/writes | 19:43 |
| pero | like a movie will take 30 minutes to seek | 19:43 |
| pero | hitsujiTMO: i think that did the trick actually | 19:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: give it a bit of time and if that worked then the best thing to do is set that as a daily cron | 19:45 |
| === as is now known as turbomettwurst | ||
| pero | hitsujiTMO: can't i enable autotrim somewhere? | 19:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: you can but that could cause a similar issue if any app is deleting a lot of small files | 19:46 |
| pero | hitsujiTMO: it's just a regular computer - i don't really do much other than use a browser | 19:47 |
| somersett | daftykins: I got 562Mbps between the Win7 and Ubuntu machines on iperf | 19:47 |
| daftykins | somersett: be sure to use a good 32KB or so packet size | 19:47 |
| balrog-k1n | hi, i'm trying to install wine on a 64-bit system, i did dpkg --add-architecture i386 but now everytime i ask apt-get to install a i386 package it wants to remove everything 64-bit (or so it looks), what's wrong? | 19:48 |
| daftykins | somersett: and mix up which is the host and which is the client in order to be sure | 19:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: its best to just run it as a daily cron. you can just create a bash script with just "fstrim /" and put it in /etc/cron.daily or if you really want to enable auto trim. add the discard option to your ssd mounts in /etc/fstab | 19:48 |
| === dgfdgf is now known as `MArceLL` | ||
| somersett | daftykins, what am I testing for here. We know that iperf has good throughput, so obviously the issue isn't in this application. | 19:49 |

| DRice7 | just skip xorg.conf? | 19:55 |
| daftykins | DRice7: your log before showed it was already trying to look for the module, if what you installed has provided that module, you may not need a config | 19:55 |
| somersett | WIndow size jumps around. One was 22KB, another was 85.3KB | 19:55 |
| daftykins | DRice7: if you do, i would expect you just need the one device section with the name of the module that that driver installed - hopefully it came with a readme to suggest what it provided | 19:56 |
| DRice7 | daftykins: I like your logic - the auto-update.sh seems to have taken care of things...now to reboot | 19:56 |

| hallah | I'd like to inteject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. | 20:12 |
| hallah | Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. | 20:12 |
| hallah | There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in | 20:12 |
| hallah | combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux. | 20:12 |

| anew | perl script.pl -review "test this ... out what's up!" | 20:35 |
| anew | it gives me that error | 20:35 |
| anew | if i leave that out it's fine, but shouldnt it run inside the quotes ? | 20:35 |
| pero | hitsujiTMO: re trim: while that made the computer more usable, web browsing was still noticably laggier and then it completely choked downloading a few large jpgs, and eventually completely froze the system; on reboot it took 1 minute to load whereas it normally takes 30s | 20:35 |
| Danato | hitsujiTMO: although i got it now, ive got no idea what did i do to install and uninstall the 3.12 kernel. So after dpkg them should i simply reboot now? | 20:35 |
| Pici | anew: try single quotes | 20:35 |
| anew | ok | 20:36 |

| ActionParsnip | Danato: install the debs at the same time using dpkg | 20:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | pero: quite possibly, can you have a look at the smart info. un the disks utility you can find it there | 20:37 |
| Danato | ActionParsnip: i already installed them using dpkg, it was in hitsujiTMO pastebin, so now i jst reboot right? | 20:38 |
| zkvvoob | Hi guys! I have some problems receiving mail on a Ubuntu 12.04 server. Would someone like to help me? | 20:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: yeah, after you install the debs with dpkg, restart and it sholud boot the kernel. if it fails to boot remember to boot the older kernel by finding it in the advanced menu in grub | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Anew: if you make the top line be: #!/usr/bin/perl ,you won't need to use the perl binary to run the script, the shell will just know | 20:38 |

| daftykins | somersett: right, but you configured how much? any other special quirks going on in your setup? | 20:46 |

| malimbar | streulma, especially when you scale something with fixed pixels. Scaling means they have to guess what the missing pixels are, and then fuzz them together ot make them take up a weird area | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Danato: you can use software centre or apt-get | 20:48 |

| malimbar | ActionParsnip, that's what he said. Not sure why that woudl matter though? | 20:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | streulma: have you correctly set a resolution with the same aspect ratio as your screen. 1680 * 1050 is 16:10 but a normal standard would be 16:9 | 20:50 |
| zkvvoob | Here it is, then. I have a Ubuntu 12.04 server with Postfix/Dovecot installed. Up until a couple of weeks ago things worked fine. Right now I discovered that while I can send emails (notably from Rouncube which I use as webmail client), I can't receive any - either from telnet, or from outside | 20:50 |

| bekks | Calinou: Thats how it is shipped. | 21:12 |
| streulma | I would install Ubuntu on Mac, because I don't want to change the Mac for PC, but I would run Ubuntu, because it's free and for the Mac stuff I have to pay | 21:12 |

| Calinou | OS X updates are free as of 10.9 :P | 21:12 |
| streulma | Calinou: ALL updates from 10.9 ? | 21:13 |
| jevon | that i have a thumbnail like preview of the content in the tab? | 21:13 |
| streulma | so 11.0 and 11.1 and 2 also? | 21:13 |
| bekks | streulma: Yes. | 21:13 |
| daftykins | streulma: 10.9 and potentially future releases will no longer cost - but likely they will slowly remove hardware support with future editions | 21:14 |
| streulma | daftykins: there is my point, I would run my PC longer :) so I must install Ubuntu | 21:14 |
| jevon | please let me know | 21:14 |

| Steve132 | Can someone tell me how UEFI works? | 21:23 |
| Steve132 | I have a new laptop that came with windows 8 on it, and I installed windows 8.1 on it with their update manager | 21:23 |
| Beldar | Steve132, Probably not with any real definitive, whats the issue? | 21:23 |
| Beldar | you loose the grub boot? | 21:24 |
| Steve132 | I want to dual boot... I know this means that I have to do one of 1) disable UEFI and disable secure boot 2) Disable secure boot but not UEFI 3) Install a linux flavor with a secure boot key, | 21:24 |
| Beldar | !uefi | Steve132 | 21:24 |
| Steve132 | And I was just hoping someone could enlighten me on which of those options is best | 21:24 |
| ubottu | Steve132: 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 | 21:24 |

| Beldar | Steve132, Each manufacturer has there own tweaked version, this link may be helpful as well. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 Back up the windows first. | 21:26 |

| ResQue | hitsujiTMO: i would prefer to do this manualy, could you please tell me where the file is location or how i could find it | 21:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve132: simply install ubuntu away. you can safely install ubuntu with secure boot enabled. the only issue that i notice with uefi is that if any OS updates the kernel or bootloader it will update the efi boot manager, which sets then itself as the default OS. so you generally need to select the OS from the uefi boot menu | 21:28 |
| Steve132 | So ubuntu detects secure boot and works and configures itself? | 21:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | ResQue: you can't do it manually. it needs to have entries pertaining to as to where grub actually is | 21:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve132: yup | 21:28 |
| Beldar | Steve132, On a good day hopefully. | 21:29 |
| Steve132 | ok | 21:29 |
| Steve132 | is that recommended? | 21:29 |
| Steve132 | like, does it cause any bugs in either system to do it that way? | 21:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve132: yeah, some peeps seem to have issues booting oem copies of windows with secure boot disabled so its best to keep it enabled | 21:30 |
| ResQue | hitsujiTMO: grub-install would run a lot of unnessary commands, some of which try to access nvram which in the past has been known to damage macs. | 21:30 |
| Steve132 | ok | 21:30 |
| Steve132 | I'll try it | 21:30 |
| Steve132 | also, I wanted to try mint. I know mint is based on ubuntu...is mint likely to have the same support built in? | 21:30 |
| ResQue | hitsujiTMO: "cant do it manually" i dont understand isnt the very point of a efi file is that you can just select and boot from it | 21:30 |
| Beldar | Steve132, Make sure you have made a recovery cd or usb from W8.1 and back it up. | 21:30 |
| Steve132 | It's a brand-new laptop, so I don't care if I lose everything | 21:31 |
| Beldar | Steve132, Problem with that is its gpt, you can run into problems be prepared. | 21:31 |
| streulma | Steve132: I make a recovery disk from Win 8 on USB, then did from Linux a DD to the NAS | 21:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | ResQue: the efi file needs to be patched such that it points to exactly where grub is. | 21:32 |
| Steve132 | Beldar: I don't understand..what do you mean? | 21:32 |
| Beldar | Steve132, gpt is a different partition type which includes the partition table. | 21:32 |
| Steve132 | right, I get that | 21:32 |
| Steve132 | but I'm not sure I understand what that has to do with the backup media | 21:33 |

| streulma | I have to devide the hdd | 21:33 |
| Beldar | Steve132, Your choice I just see almost daily people not backing this up and or making a recovery which is tiny and having problems is all, this is like when you drive your car you wear a seatbelt. | 21:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | ResQue: this means that for ANY changes to grub, it will have to run grub-install anyway. I also sincerely doubt grub-install damages a mac | 21:34 |
| Beldar | cover your booty in other words | 21:34 |
| Steve132 | What I'm saying is that I don't understand what risk I'm taking. You are saying there is a risk of data loss or something, but I have no data to lose. What's the problem? | 21:34 |
| Steve132 | Then you said that I'll lose my gpt table or something, but I don't get that either. | 21:35 |

| Danato | hitsujiTMO: aah right | 21:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danato: just boot as a live cd. I presume he's trying to figure out whewre the issues stems from. was it an issue in the mainline kernel pre 3.13 or was it caused by an ubuntu patch | 21:47 |

| wiciu | hey guys! I open irc client after roughly 10years, I need some professional advise concerning privacy and what happened with my win8. I dunno if I could try to find out the reason of what happened. Is there some specialist of privacy online? I got obsessed by the fact that I was spied. Now I switched to Ubuntu and I feel it better. Much better. | 21:50 |
| wiciu | I know that I won't get any help in the small town I live now :P | 21:51 |
| wiciu | If the only way to start your ubuntu is to reset BIOS I guess it's not friendly marketing practice... | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiciu: its not like that. Where did you get that idea from? | 21:55 |
| Beldar | wiciu, Not really a support issue, if you go on the web you have no privacy, privacy is a myth so don't go full OCD on it. ;) | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiciu: windows8 is not supported here. | 21:56 |
| wiciu | yeah but now I would like to manage my switch to Ubu | 21:56 |
| Beldar | wiciu, go to settings privacy and clear it and turn off the save. | 21:58 |
| eddwan | hi there | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiciu: you can also change what is logged etc. | 21:58 |
| hassen | !sudo -i | 22:01 |
| hassen | !sudo | 22:01 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:01 |
| Beldar | hassen, be careful rooting the terminal it is rarely needed, just use sudo | 22:02 |
| hassen | wow..that funny ubottu bot.. | 22:02 |
| hassen | Beldar, yes,sure thing. | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | hassen: she is useful | 22:02 |
| hassen | ActionParsnip, indeed. | 22:02 |
| Beldar | many are used to doing it from other distros like debian is all | 22:02 |
| hassen | Beldar, read haphazardly in an article that sudo -i affers using root with the current username's pass | 22:03 |
| hassen | wanted to try anyway | 22:03 |
| hassen | *offers6 | 22:03 |
| Beldar | hassen, Cool. | 22:03 |
| ilmen_ | Hello | 22:04 |
| Beldar | wiciu, Do you use social media like facebook....etc | 22:04 |
| wiciu | yeah I know that. I've changed recently all my important passwords and I created kind of matrix to memorize all different passwords :) | 22:05 |

| oal | How can I run "adduser" without it asking me for Full name etc? Basically run the command and add the user, without asking questions? | 22:06 |
| wiciu | I have no clue that someone tried to log in in my social accounts recently | 22:06 |
| Beldar | wiciu, Personally I use none of that for some privacy is all. | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Oal: checked the man page, there may be a way to supress it, or just add the data at creation | 22:07 |
| wiciu | but what I feel is that windows wanted to collect a lot info about me | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiciu: those 2 things are not linked | 22:07 |
| ilmen_ | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 64bit on a laptop (along with Windows 8) via LiveUSB, but I couldn't use the "install alongside Windows 8" option because it throws an error telling it's not able to unmount some drive; so I'm trying to figure out how to properly use the custom partitioning mode | 22:08 |
| adamu | ls | 22:08 |
| adamu | oops hello | 22:08 |
| Beldar | windows, google creditors, addware, creditors, nsa take your pick that is just a few | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Ilmen_: resize your NTFS in Windows and run a chkdsk too, make sure the partition is consistant | 22:09 |
| adamu | Beldar, Of what? | 22:09 |
| wiciu | ActionParsnip: yeah I know I got obsessed too much recently but is it normal that your BIOS become upgraded to make boot win8 and anly win8 all the time? | 22:09 |

| Beldar | orgs | 22:09 |
| ilmen_ | I created from Win8 a FAT32 partition of 30GB for Ubuntu and a 4.20 GB one for the swap | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiciu: no it is set how it is at manufacture. Upgrading a bios is a bit more complex than running windows updates | 22:10 |
| wiciu | , I needed to reset CMOS to boot my Ubuntu from another disk | 22:10 |
| Beldar | adamu, I believe you just signed on you have missed the whole conversation. | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Ilmen_: fat32 is not suitable for Linux | 22:10 |
| adamu | Beldar, Yeah.. too bad I missed it | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Ilen_delete the fat32 partition and leave the space free, then install to that | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Ilmen_: also delete the other one for swap | 22:11 |
| ilmen_ | (respectively sda6 and sda7); I guess I have to select sda6 for "Drive where the startup program will be installed", right? | 22:12 |
| ilmen_ | Hmm | 22:12 |
| wiciu | OK! Anyway it was like this that my win8 updated to win 8 'Pro' - yep it was written like this, that was a server version and all that process of upgrade was not really approved by user- I mean, me | 22:12 |
| ilmen_ | And I want to have Ubuntu booting in EFI mode; should I do something now for this purpose or wait having Ubuntu installed first? | 22:14 |
| wiciu | ActionParsnip, Now I use Ubu ntu that is the server too but it was my choice | 22:18 |
| adamu | bye! | 22:19 |
| ilmen_ | Well, I can format my sd6 and giving it a mount point; would deleting it and installing in the freed space be really better? | 22:20 |
| wiciu | ActionParsnip: I would like to get some practical advices how to manage it now. I see that I have 32bit version, my PC is pretty modern the performance wouldn't be better on x64? | 22:20 |
| wiciu | what about the NTSF file system? If I don't want to use windows for multimedia is it rational to keep it? Should I format my disk to ext4 better? | 22:22 |
| hassen | sorry for reposting: how to execute .deb files in the terminal? | 22:22 |
| somersett | "sudo dpkg -i [package name]" to install | 22:23 |
| Beldar | hassen, Before doing this you checked the repos for what your installing? | 22:23 |
| jhutchins | ilmen_: Generally grub should be installed to the device, not to a partition. | 22:23 |
| jhutchins | ilmen_: sda, not sda# | 22:23 |
| hassen | Beldar, google chrome browser | 22:23 |
| ilmen_ | Is ext3 the best format for my ubuntu partition (30GB)? | 22:23 |
| hassen | somersett, i see,thanks. | 22:24 |
| bekks | ilmen_: use ext4 | 22:24 |
| wiciu | I have also 64GB SD disk inside my PC would't be better to use it as / for Ubu? | 22:24 |
| ilmen_ | Beldar: yeah, but I don't want my preinstalled windows 8 to be deleted | 22:24 |
| Beldar | hassen, It will install from the software center, I use gdebi personally. | 22:24 |
| jhutchins | wiciu: I would reformat the ntfs to ext - permissions and ownership will be more consistent through the system. | 22:24 |
| Beldar | ilmen_, why are you telling me? | 22:24 |
| bekks | wiciu: for dualboot, it is vital to not format your windows partitions. | 22:24 |
| hassen | Beldar, yes,but i got enought of move/click mouse :) | 22:24 |
| hassen | time to dive in terminal command line world | 22:25 |
| hassen | so we use the 'sudo' to install stuff in the system? | 22:25 |
| hassen | is the root the only one who can install and add softwares? | 22:25 |
| bekks | hassen: we use dpkg, and it requires sudo | 22:25 |
| hassen | yeah the sudo | 22:26 |
| hassen | even sudo bash blah.run | 22:26 |
| hassen | sudo is always present | 22:26 |
| hassen | no? | 22:26 |
| bekks | No. | 22:26 |
| Beldar | ilmen_, I would be backing up the W8 and have the recovery cd/usb generated to start with. | 22:27 |
| bekks | Installing software like sudo bash blah.run might break your box - dont do it. | 22:27 |
| somersett | Has anyone ever experience extremely slow network copy speeds? Like 0.03MB/sec? | 22:27 |
| hassen | bekks, why? | 22:27 |
| bekks | hassen: because blah.run might break your system. | 22:28 |
| jhutchins | Beldar: Be aware that a factory recovery image is likely to destroy the ubuntu installation rather than restore to a selected partition. | 22:28 |
| hassen | bekks, e.g i tried to install my ATI gpu prioritary driver with ati*.run file | 22:28 |
| Beldar | jhutchins, and? | 22:29 |
| bekks | hassen: that will break with every kernel update | 22:29 |
| jhutchins | Beldar: Also, an NTFS data partition is useful for sharing files between the Windows and Linux environments. | 22:29 |
| ilmen_ | I guess that making a backup with a tool like Macrium would be wiser | 22:29 |
| Beldar | jhutchins, I did not tell anyone to use a factory recovery | 22:29 |
| hassen | bekks, :o | 22:30 |
| jhutchins | Beldar: I seem to have gotten the wrong nick here. | 22:30 |
| Beldar | jhutchins, I think you are a bit mixed up I have not addressed a shred ntfs as well. | 22:30 |
| Beldar | ;) | 22:30 |
| jhutchins | Beldar: Got you mixed up with ilmen | 22:30 |
| hassen | seems like windows is getting bugs/errors/viruses from such stuff... | 22:31 |
| hassen | unlike linux | 22:31 |
| Beldar | hassen, Started on open source, and used windows of and on last 5 years, never had an infection in any. | 22:31 |
| bekks | hassen: linux still might break | 22:32 |
| Beldar | any OS can be compromised if you are careless hassen | 22:33 |
| hassen | reasonable | 22:33 |
| wiciu | I don't play games. Just the reason to keep Win8 would be for me graphic and video editing software. Maybe there are some substitutions for that on Linux now? I was not using Ubu fro ~5 years. Can you recommend my some good video software, this is what I would like to work with. I am able to pay but also I don't need too professional stuff. | 22:36 |
| Beldar | ilmen_, Macrium is a good tool, W8 has no mbr and this app does not save the mbr. | 22:36 |
| * hassen is testing the chrome's flash plugin in a 3D MMO | 22:37 | |

| ActionParsnip | Hassen: windows is the same, the run as admin nag thing, no different | 22:42 |
| wiciu | Calinou, thanks! | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | hassen: your user is a user, not root. You are sinply a member of the 'sudo' group which is allowed to run commands as root using the sudo command (and gksudo for GUI apps) | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Pdilyard: use scp to copy the script over. You can then run: ssh user@server "/path/to/file" and it will run, outputs will be shown in your terminal | 22:45 |
| wiciu | I remember that reading/writing NTSF on Linux was an issue before. How is it know? There is no difference if I store my music or videos on NTSF or ext partition? | 22:46 |
| PDilyard | ActionParsnip, thanks! | 22:46 |
| bekks | wiciu: ntfs, not ntsf | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Pdilyard: this feature allows easy managability of many servers | 22:47 |

| Beldar | Danato, Are you doing this in ubuntu? | 22:57 |
| Danato | Beldar: yeah | 22:57 |
| Beldar | Danato, I'm kinda fond of this one you can load multiple ISO, format the usb in gparted though. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 22:58 |
| gabe_ | this is a nice channel | 22:59 |

| Beldar | Danato, I have a 16 gig usb with a bunch of linux and a W8.1 iso on it. | 22:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Danato: Yes, GParted is probably the best tool | 22:59 |

| Jay_R | Like you log out. | 23:01 |
| Danato | SonikkuAmerica: I know, I already have it formated and made it bootable, but now i jst need it back to a normal flash drive | 23:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Danato: OK then, if you want to use it on Windows, use NTFS | 23:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Danato: Otherwise, use ext3 or ext4 | 23:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (the latter is preferable) | 23:02 |
| Ika | anyone got an idea why my laptop wont boot anymore? all i did was upgrade from 11.04 to 13.10? | 23:02 |
| Jay_R | Card is an NVIDIA GeForce 660 TI. | 23:02 |
| Beldar | Ika, Through all the releases between? | 23:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | =j ##usb | 23:02 |
| Ika | nope just booted 13.10 through usb and used the upgrade feature in the installation | 23:03 |
| Jay_R | So... Sometimes when I walk away from my box and it monitor goes to sleep, I'll come back to a display setting of 800x600. | 23:03 |
| Calinou | Jay_R, suspend using proprietary drivers is unreliable | 23:03 |
| Calinou | don't use it | 23:03 |
| Beldar | Ika, Or a fresh install? | 23:03 |
| DRice7 | Can someone help me with my Xorg starting problem? Issue is at the bottom of: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6501600/ | 23:03 |
| Jay_R | Calinou, noted. So screensaver is a better option then? | 23:03 |
| Ika | Beldar, i booted 13.10 through usb stick after using the disk creator tool then chose upgrade when the option came up | 23:04 |
| Jay_R | If I unplug the monitor and plug it back in, it goes back to normal. | 23:04 |
| Calinou | Jay_R, screensaver is useless | 23:04 |
| Calinou | just use something that shuts down screen | 23:05 |
| Beldar | Ika, Not sure if that was designed to go from a eol or anything but the previous release. What is the no boot symptoms? | 23:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | DRice7: Are you using a proprietary driver? | 23:05 |
| DRice7 | SonikkuAmerica, I just installed this driver from ASRock - because the ast module was not being found | 23:05 |
| Ika | Beldar, now when i boot up my laptop it comes up with a page similar to the windows one after a bad shutdown (eg. start normal, start safe mode) but linux 2.6 etc | 23:06 |

| YellowGTO | Software cant be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available | 23:07 |
| DRice7 | Ika, sounds lke you need to toss 'nomodeset' into grub before you boot | 23:07 |
| Beldar | Ika, Not sure what that would be, if it were me I would would boot the usb pull what you need and do a fresh install. Trying to fix that may not be easy if at all and would you know if really fixed in the end. | 23:07 |
| DRice7 | Ika, I've been researching the same problem all day. | 23:08 |
| Beldar | Ika, depends on what you want in the end. | 23:08 |
| Ika | Beldar, well i've tried rebooting from the same usb stick and it skips it in the boot list saying that it isn't there, same with CD Roms | 23:08 |
| DRice7 | If you google: 'nvidia blank screen', you should find what you need | 23:08 |
| Ika | DRice7, i was never really good at cmd lines :S | 23:09 |
| DRice7 | Ika, real easy step by step guides | 23:09 |
| Ika | DRice7, was that "no"modeset or "nc"? | 23:09 |
| Beldar | Ika, You aware of the per-session boot menu? Hard to tell what really happened so far with your description is all. | 23:09 |
| DRice7 | nomodeset | 23:09 |
| Ika | the o merges with the m so i couldnt tell :3 | 23:10 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset | Ika | 23:10 |
| ubottu | Ika: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:10 |

| wiciu | I switched from Win8 tu Ubu 12.04 LTS . Now I recognize that I don't need Win so much to live. I have one big partition of my PC with NTFS would it be beneficial to format it to ext file system? | 23:19 |
| mvhenten | ok sorry. so I can connect smtp from localhost, not from remote, I have tried to enable port 25 trough iptables but it still is "filtered" according to nmap... | 23:19 |
| Guiri | Beldar I already asked my question and no one responded | 23:19 |
| Beldar | Ika, you would use e edit read the link. | 23:19 |
| Ika | ah ok | 23:19 |

| Ika | sorry i skim read and didnt see it | 23:19 |
| Beldar | !uefi | Guiri | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Guiri: 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 | 23:20 |

| arpad2 | I tried to install Bumblebee from wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee, but after following the instructions the 'optirun opera' gave me an error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/6501697 where can be an user added to the 'bumblebee' group? | 23:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: did you add yourself to the bumblebee group? | 23:27 |
| === LarrySteeze is now known as LarrySteeze|Away | ||
| arpad2 | hitsujiTMO>: no, I couldn't find where it is | 23:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: type this EXACTLY: sudo usermod -aG bumblebee `whoami` | 23:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: once that's done you need to relog to be part of the group | 23:29 |
| mvhenten | ok a more pragmatic question: I see /etc/firewall.conf and I have removed ufw. I assume I can safely remove :ufw rules there right? | 23:30 |
| arpad2 | the thing is now I am not logged in with the user who has sudo priviledges | 23:30 |

| Beldar | koyetsu, This is ubuntu support you might try ##linux | 23:31 |
| Beldar | or the actual distros channel | 23:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: then log in with the user that has sudo proviledges and type: sudo usermod -aG bumblebee <user> replacing <user> with the user that you want to give bumblebee access to | 23:31 |
| silver073000 | !help | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:32 |
| koyetsu | i was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction....i tried the distro's chan 80 ppl no response | 23:32 |
| arpad2 | <hitsujiTMO> thank you | 23:32 |
| zykotick9 | hitsujiTMO: i think using "sudo adduser USERNAME GROUP" is MUCH safer suggestion then usermod - prevents the, "why am i only in one group now?" ;) | 23:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | zykotick9: cool, will note that | 23:32 |

| bodom | Hi there. I've made some customiziations to my initrd's "init" script. What is the correct place to put them so that they will not get overwritten by update-initrd? | 23:34 |

| arpad2 | <hitsujiTMO>: should I make a reboot after? | 23:36 |
| _dan_ | hi, any way to install openjdk-7-jre on old version of ubuntu (9.04)? | 23:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: no, just logging into the users account AFTER the change has been made is enough | 23:36 |
| zykotick9 | arpad2: just logout and back in (to apply new group memebership) | 23:36 |
| arpad2 | thank you | 23:37 |
| xangua | _dan_: please upgrade to a supported ubuntu distro | 23:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_: end of line versions are not supported here. best to upgrade | 23:37 |
| _dan_ | i am a bit worried if i upgrade i will not be able to connect to it anymore | 23:37 |
| YellowGTO | Beldar, digging in the logs I found 2 crash reports | 23:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_: is this a server? | 23:38 |
| _dan_ | yeah | 23:38 |
| YellowGTO | paste.ubuntu.com/6501745 | 23:38 |
| Balzy | Hello! I'm currently installing root on my kubuntu machine and I have a little doubt about the following line: (g)make [or, make -j n, for n core machines]. | 23:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_: so you are aware that you have been running a server with a insecure version of ubuntu for at least 2 years? | 23:38 |
| YellowGTO | And http://paste.ubuntu.com/6501750 | 23:39 |
| Balzy | My computer is a Intel core i3 so I think the core number is 4, is that right? | 23:39 |
| _dan_ | yep | 23:39 |
| Calinou | Balzy, that's 4 THREADS not cores | 23:39 |
| Calinou | i3s have hyperthreading, which doubles the number of threads available | 23:39 |
| Calinou | (it is enabled by default) | 23:39 |
| Calinou | so yes, you should use make -j4 | 23:39 |
| bitbagel | I had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. He would "play the bongos" on my ass. | 23:39 |
| Calinou | the number of threads matters | 23:39 |
| bitbagel | I had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. He would "play the bongos" on my ass. | 23:39 |
| FloodBot1 | bitbagel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_: best thing to do is backup what you can and then begin the upgrade process. | 23:40 |
| Balzy | Calinou yeah that was my doubt, what is exactly the number I should use? | 23:40 |
| bitbagel | I had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. He would "play the bongos" on my assssss. | 23:40 |
| bitbagel | I had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once. He would "play the bongos" on my ass. | 23:40 |

| Balzy | okay 4 | 23:40 |
| Balzy | thanks | 23:40 |
| Calinou | Balzy, 4 | 23:40 |
| arpad2 | <hitsujiTMO>: now it started the program, is it using now the videocard? | 23:40 |
| _dan_ | alright, i will try to upgrade... | 23:41 |
| _dan_ | what is the command to start it? | 23:41 |
| Balzy | Calinou so if a program or whatelse asks me the number of cores I should always refer to the number of threads that is 4? | 23:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: it should be. best thing to do is to run glxgears ( or similar app ), then run glxgears throu optirun and see if there's a difference. that should show if its working or not | 23:42 |
| Calinou | Balzy, yes | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | _dan_: be aware you'd have to upgrade 9.04->9.10->10.04->12.04 at least... fresh install would probably be easier... | 23:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | !eol | _dan_ all info should be here. eol upgrades are a little more involved afaik | 23:42 |
| ubottu | _dan_ all info should be here. eol upgrades are a little more involved afaik: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 23:42 |
| arpad2 | <hitsujiTMO>: ok, here glxgears not installed | 23:43 |
| Balzy | Calinou while the physical cores are only 2? | 23:43 |
| Beldar | YellowGTO, seems the software center is having some problem, I'm not really able to see what exactly, however just seeing if you can use apt-get as I asked would be a good start. YOu can start the software center from the command line will give better errors. | 23:43 |
| YellowGTO | I can use apt-get | 23:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: i think its part of mesautils | 23:43 |
| Calinou | Balzy, yes, there are 2 physical cores on an i3 | 23:43 |
| zykotick9 | arpad2: btw it's in the mesa-utils package | 23:43 |
| YellowGTO | It show I found out I had this issue actually | 23:43 |
| bekks | Balzy: 2 physical cores supporting hyperthreading result in four logical cores. | 23:44 |
| Beldar | YellowGTO, always use nicks here, run software-center | 23:44 |
| Balzy | Calinou okay! Thank you very much, now I understand what lscpu was telling me | 23:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | Balzy: a program should not be asking you how many cores you have ... unless its virtualisation software and its asking you how many cores you want to use on a guest | 23:45 |
| Calinou | np | 23:45 |
| arpad2 | <hitsujiTMO>,<zykotick9>: ok | 23:45 |
| Calinou | hitsujiTMO, it can ask you. | 23:45 |
| Calinou | yes, it can | 23:45 |
| Calinou | a decent amount of programs do that | 23:45 |
| Calinou | compilers, some game stuff... | 23:45 |
| zykotick9 | hitsujiTMO: it's the -j for compiling... | 23:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | Calinou: really? when it can just check itself? | 23:45 |
| Balzy | hitsujiTMO I'm installing Root and I'm following cern instructions | 23:45 |
| Balzy | hitsujiTMO (g)make [or, make -j n, for n core machines] | 23:46 |
| YellowGTO | I need to add a key manually to my sources because apt-get update wont work | 23:46 |
| YellowGTO | So i opened up sources and discovered this error | 23:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | ahh yeah, thats same thing, its asking for how many cores you want to use. not have | 23:46 |
| Calinou | hitsujiTMO, it is not always done, because it is not trivial | 23:47 |
| Balzy | hitsujiTMO since my computer has a multicore processor I think I should provide the cores number | 23:47 |
| xangua | !gpgerr | YellowGTO | 23:47 |
| ubottu | YellowGTO: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key> » | 23:47 |
| Beldar | YellowGTO, if you need a key you can use sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "key here" | 23:47 |
| zykotick9 | YellowGTO: i assume you added a PPA manually? BTW, if you use ppa-add-repository (<- or very similar), it will automatically add the keys for you | 23:48 |
| Balzy | Calinou, hitsujiTMO, what number shall I use? 4 or perhaps a small one? | 23:48 |
| Calinou | 4 | 23:48 |
| zykotick9 | Balzy: fyi, it doesn't really matter... | 23:48 |
| Calinou | unless you want to do something CPU intensive at the same time | 23:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | Balzy: 4 if you want it to be as fast as possible | 23:48 |
| Balzy | okay thanks! I think I'm going with 4, since sometimes I have to run intensive stuff | 23:49 |
| _dan_ | i am a bit confused by that page... how exactly do i run the do-release-upgrade? | 23:50 |
| _dan_ | with no args it just tells me it can't do it | 23:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_ whats the exact error? | 23:50 |
| Beldar | _dan_, What release are you on? | 23:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | 9.04 Beldar | 23:50 |
| _dan_ | An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool. | 23:51 |
| Beldar | ah it wont work with that command then, needs a eol upgrade | 23:51 |
| Beldar | _dan_, You are better off with a fresh install, much faster and more likely to be a good install. | 23:52 |
| arpad2 | <hitsujiTMO>: optirun glsgears crashed | 23:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_: you must upgrade to 9.10 not 10.04 | 23:52 |
| _dan_ | not feasible - i only have access over ssh | 23:52 |
| arpad2 | glxgears | 23:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_: your provider should have 12.04 templates and have some way of allowing you to reinstall | 23:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: well the fact that its crashing prob means you're on the other gpu. but ... yeah ... should not crash... what gpu do you have? | 23:54 |
| arpad2 | <hitsujiTMO>: you mean which dedicated? thats nvidia gtx675mx | 23:54 |
| _dan_ | yeah, my provider did not think that far ahead :) | 23:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_: then maybes its time to switch to a propper provider | 23:55 |
| _dan_ | it is my own machine | 23:56 |
| _dan_ | from a few year ago | 23:56 |
| hassen | reconnected | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | _dan_: ahh so you're just renting shelfspace and a connection? | 23:57 |
| _dan_ | no, it runs at my parents house actually | 23:58 |
| _dan_ | who live very far away | 23:58 |
| _dan_ | i am pretty sure if i hose the ssh connection noone there will be able to fix it | 23:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | arpad2: maybe try nvidia-prime instead of bumblebee. http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/using-nvidia-graphics-drivers-with.html | 23:59 |
| mappum | my networking isn't working. eth0 shows up on ifconfig, but all it says all TX packets have been dropped | 23:59 |
| mappum | this is a new motherboard, maybe it's not compatible? | 23:59 |
| mappum | i've tested on server 13.10 and desktop 13.10 | 23:59 |
| mappum | anything i should try? | 23:59 |
