[00:00] or run pm-suspend from command line [00:00] have u checked that u have set that property in the settings right? [00:00] Yeah, when I do that, although it takes him some ttime [00:00] Sorry guys! [00:00] My laptop DOES go to sleep [00:00] it's just that sometimes, it does not [00:01] so yeah, using the menu to set it to sleep works, but I have to look after the laptop and make sure it does [00:01] and its not a problem with the ubuntu 12.04 u have [00:01] did you make sure the lid setting is set to it [00:01] If my desktop looks like this http://imgur.com/5vubceE then what do i look up to solve it? [00:01] wilornel: also do you have any messages in dmesg after sleeping [00:01] Hey guys, does anyone know the optimal driver and kernel to be using for an Nvidia Geforce 9500gt? Specifically for Ubuntu 12.04 (or elementary os) [00:02] RocketPenguin: no idea are there any other symptoms? [00:02] DreamPCs: well which do you run, ubuntu or elementary [00:02] Running any fullscreen 3d applications kills x on my system. [00:02] dragonfly: it's just a public wireless network. with my username and password and these settings -> WPA/WPA2, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPV2 [00:02] Random832: I have plenty of messages there, which ones should I focus on? [00:02] I run Elementary Luna (which is base on 12.04) [00:02] RocketPenguin this guy looks similar to yours http://askubuntu.com/questions/307251/ubuntu-13-04-desktop-background-problem [00:02] Random832, Well, recently i had to go back to stock drivers because the ones i installed didnt work. i also had to restart unity because it was failing to start [00:02] But of course I get a much better response here lol. [00:02] wilornel: no idea, anything about an error while it was going to sleep [00:02] ok, so dynamically assigned ip address then..... [00:02] DreamPCs: then you should find support for that, we can't help you with a non-ubuntu [00:02] DreamPCs: please see the elementarys support [00:03] RocketPenguin: did you try reinstalling unity and rebooting? [00:03] hi, how i install a ATI Radeon driver on ubuntu? [00:03] anuska@marketingromania:/tmp$ sh amd-driver-12-6-x86_64.run [00:03] : not found12-6-x86_64.run: 1: amd-driver-12-6-x86_64.run: [00:03] amd-driver-12-6-x86_64.run: 2: amd-driver-12-6-x86_64.run: Syntax error: redirection unexpected [00:03] anuska@marketingromania:/tmp$ [00:03] Anuska: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:03] What if I tried to get an answer that would work for Ubuntu 12.04? Would ie be a horrible idea to use that fix on my OS? [00:03] Random832, No, i have not. Though, thanks for the link! This appears to be my issue, and i shall read it... [00:03] Anuska: take the fglrx from the ubuntu repo [00:03] apt-get install fglrx [00:03] ? [00:04] I have this same issue in Ubuntu btw lol, that's the main reason I started playing with out distros. [00:04] Anuska: yes [00:04] DreamPCs: if you want to use this channel, you need to be using a canonical ubuntu. elementary has their own support. [00:05] k1l, i install: apt-get install fglrx , now how i do? [00:05] Lock screen after 30 seconds is what I've just set. It doesn't work. [00:05] I understand (more or less) the difference between the two distros and the fact that they have their own support channel, but Ben64 (honest question, no sarcasm) is it really a big deal what avenue I chose for support? I mean isn't coming in here with the exectation that a certain fix may not work because of potential differences enough? [00:05] Anuska: log out and log in again. that will activate the driver [00:06] Random832, Itried as the answer said, and it gave me this:The following packages have unmet dependencies: [00:06] libxorg-gtest-dev : Depends: xserver-xorg-video-dummy but it is not going to be installed [00:06] E: Build-dependencies for compiz could not be satisfied. [00:06] sorry for what? [00:06] Oops [00:06] Longer than i thought [00:06] Sorry! [00:06] RocketPenguin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:06] I think that's similar to owning a chevy and you can't get mechanic work at a ford shop. [00:06] k1l, if i type: fglrxinfo >>>> Error: unable to open display (null) [00:06] DreamPCs: if support is a that big issue for you choose a distro with proper support in the first place. [00:07] Anuska: did you relogin? [00:07] Anuska: you need a xserver restart which is made when relogin. [00:07] Random832, Any ideas? [00:07] now [00:07] ah ok. so its just a problem with u getting acquanted to your laptop [00:08] I think you're missing my point k1l, I'm just saying why is it a problem to seek advice elsewhere? I try to help anyone I can with a Linux issue, regardless of distro. Some problems (like I'm sure this one) aren't even original to elementary. [00:08] join #category5 [00:09] DreamPCs: you are making even more drama and you know that other unsupported spinoffs or distros dont get support in here. EOD [00:09] How would i install xserver-xorg-video-dummy? [00:09] how can i [00:09] really inspect my whole system under the hood with a command? [00:09] like the processsor, ram, chipset, everything? [00:09] RocketPenguin: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy [00:10] Mitizaro: lshw [00:10] Mitizaro, sudo lshw, dmidecode lspci, lsusb [00:10] k1l I have no intent to "make drama" massa... I'm asking a question because I'm honestly curious of the answer. All I'm getting is "because that's the way it is" with no real explanation. [00:10] Ari-Yang, It says i have broken packages... How would i fix them? [00:10] DreamPCs, ##linux not here [00:11] Thanks bazhang, at least that was remotely helpful. [00:11] So much for linux being about community. Take care all. === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [00:11] DreamPCs: maybe we are just fed up with hunting issues that are not caused by ubuntu but people claimed it was not $spinoff issue but a real ubuntu issue? [00:11] RocketPenguin: sudo apt-get -f install [00:12] RocketPenguin: check out the manual for apt-get by running man apt-get [00:12] ok so as far as i know - i have.. AMD... which is 2,4ghz? or it was equivillent of 2,4ghz Intel... oh [00:12] and here's what i get: [00:12] DreamPCs: i think its very very bad attitude you come in here and start a drama even though you know its offtopic in here.

I just rather you say that then "oh well try their support channel uhh it can't be related uhhh there's no way we can fix such an issue." [00:14] EVEN my black screen bios before the OS loading registeres it as Unknown CPU type: 1433mhz... wtf? :D :) maybe because of the pseudo-overclock?? or old BIOS? [00:14] even if its 1433mhz, unknown type?? [00:14] why is apport crashing [00:15] apport-gtk-root is crashing every 5 seconds [00:15] other question ( i let my user login it every time ) and i want to acces from other computer the interface [00:15] what program i used? [00:15] I've noticed after installing 12.04 with home folder encryption, it takes about 10 seconds for my mouse to move at the login screen although the keyboard works fine. I'm not sure this did it when I first installed it. Has anyone noticed this behavior? [00:15] some like team viewer [00:16] phenom: I've noticed the same behaviour. [00:16] i install for remote : xrdp , but not connect me to interface what i connect on PC === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [00:17] samaire_: did you happen to install xfce or another DE? [00:18] I installed XFCE and skype.. Skype linux being skype linux,, hung and crashed when I tried to power down the pc.

Firewall should show up [00:25] yes, but I can ssh it from the university windows pc [00:26] so what is the error you get when you try to ssh from the laptop to the webserver?

[00:32] Guest93324: get it without the space [00:32] Try it* [00:32] no [00:33] so it could be that your server is down right now? [00:33] my wireless works fine to browse the web etc, but no ssh or ping.. [00:35] no the server is running fine, I want to ssh from my laptop cause it's got all my stuff on it... [00:35] mxander: can you ping www.google.com? [00:36] actually yes so it could be the server.. [00:37] many firewalls are set to not respond to ping requests..... [00:39] mxander: If I were you, my next step would be to try and ssh from a machine where I know it has worked before [00:40] o.k. then, I'll checkout the iptables -L..? === jagger|away is now known as jagger === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:45] Xorg is taking up 99% of my CPU [00:45] what do?

[01:10] becouse eth0 i know is pppoe [01:10] WeLinuxNow, Do you need java to do this and have you installed it? [01:10] when i put in a VFAT paritioned USB drive (new out of package), it mounts it under /media [01:10] Beldar: I do have java [01:10] but with permissions such that you can set executable bits on it [01:10] same to be eth2 [01:10] can't set executable bit, that is [01:11] question: how i configure second network to give internet at other computer?

[01:12] but i can't for example, chmod +x on any file to make it executable [01:12] anuska_: Under "Logical name" you'll see the interface name ;) [01:12] i think it is the mount flags [01:12] Jay_R: Yes, that's required [01:12] jcorgan, ah not sure myself.

Changing mount permissions, or files permissions? Because File Permissions are not a mounting issue :/ [01:21] nannes: ok. i am inserting a new USB drive into an Ubuntu desktop. It gets automounted. [01:21] But [01:21] it gets mounted with certain mount flags that prevent anything from being executable === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [01:21] i can't even chmod +x a script on the USB drive [01:21] but otherwise read/write is ok [01:22] i want to know how to change that mounting behavior [01:22] jcorgan: is this fat/ntfs? if so, you can't apply POSIX permissions to it... [01:22] 'noexec' doesn't show up in the mount flags [01:22] VFAT [01:22] i've tried chmod +x and it simply doesn't change it [01:22] jcorgan: wait [01:23] Did you just say VFAT? [01:23] yes [01:23] is the file system a fat32? [01:23] fat32 != ext* [01:23] jcorgan: If yes, well, then it's normal [01:23] i don't know, its a brand new preformatted USB drive, when i show mounts it says vfat is mounted on it [01:23] It's a fat limitation [01:24] jcorgan: there's a workaround [01:24] please do tell :) [01:24] jcorgan: what's the command you use to execute the script [01:24] ? [01:24] jcorgan: you can't apply *nix permissions to FAT, it's all how the filesystem is mounted (i don't know the details, i don't use fat) [01:25] zykotick9: yes, it is *acting* as if the 'noexec' flag is set for the mounting options, but that doesn't show up when i look at /proc/mounts for that device [01:25] nannes: it's a python script, but it is the same if i want to have a binary executable there too [01:26] jcorgan: I think that with shell scripts, you can use sh scriptname [01:26] yes, i know, but i really need to be able to natively execute files on the usb drive. [01:26] jcorgan: use a better filesystem ;) [01:26] so, is is really the case that you can't have rwx files on a VFAT partition? [01:26] yeah, I quote zykotick9 [01:26] jcorgan: http://askubuntu.com/questions/23128/how-do-i-execute-a-file-from-a-fat-usb-drive [01:27] read this ^ [01:27] nannes: thanks [01:27] i think #6 has my answer [01:28] yeah [01:28] jcorgan: look at this, too http://askubuntu.com/questions/246320/how-to-mount-disc-with-exec-permissions [01:28] Will a 7850 and 7770 work together in ubuntu with fglrx? I know I can't crossfire them, but I'd like to use both for more displays [01:29] ok, thanks everyone, i have enough to go chew on for a bit [01:30] looks like the culprit is that udisk-daemon is setting 'showexec' as a mount option, and I have to change it to not do that [01:32] :(( not resolve [01:32] with internet to share [01:33] <_TWS> can anyone tell me why the 12.04 installer insists on writing the GRUB crap to the USB installation media rather than to the HDD when installing from USB? [01:33] _TWS: odd.. never happened really. What do you mean by "insist"? [01:33] Can't you select the device? [01:35] <_TWS> I don't seem to learn my lesson.. it's happened over and over again on multiple machines. during install, it asks if it's ok to install grub on the mbr, and I say yes, so it does, but on the wrong device [01:35] <_TWS> just an annoyance... just need to vent [01:36] TWS: last time I tried to install ubuntu with a usb on a netbook it insisted to install it in the usb; tried to manually set up partitions¿ [01:36] _TWS: [01:36] aaa [01:36] works [01:36] but give me ip 10.42.0.1 [01:36] anuska_ ;) just need a little patience [01:37] how i add 192.168? [01:37] anuska_: you mean, locally? [01:37] i share the internet [01:37] Hey. I am trying to create an Ubuntu live dvd. I downloaded ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64 and used imgBurn to burn it to dvd. It all seems to have gone okay but it doesn't boot. (I have the bios settings correct as it will boot ok from the win 7 installation disc) [01:37] from a network card to other [01:37] <_TWS> hmm... I have 2 devices. A hard disk and a removable disk. I installed the OS to the hard disk, but maybe for shits and giggles, I should install grub to the removable disk that will likely be removed when the installation is complete [01:37] but have ip 10.42.0.1 [01:37] and i want 192.... [01:38] anuska_: in the server or in the client?? [01:38] server [01:38] ok [01:38] when i share the internet put my the ip automated [01:38] just set a static IP, with network manager [01:39] but remember, it's a different device, you can't be on the same subnet of the other one [01:39] if i select manual disable sharing to other comp [01:39] I'd imagine my issue is quite simple.... hmmm... is ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso the correct iso to use for a live cd? [01:40] <_TWS> hrrm.. maybe it has something to do with the usb drive showing up as /dev/sda and the hdd showing as /dev/sdb [01:41] What is it called when two people log onto the same computer with different desktop envirnments? [01:41] <_TWS> well, at least linux has all those pretty colors in the console to please my mind while I fix it [01:41] JPSman: multiseat, i believe [01:41] JPSman, pandemonium [01:42] How about with VNC?

[01:53] chimerical26, And tell us what you actually see when you try to boot. === shuduo_afk is now known as shuduo [01:53] Anuska: Well, in the ICS guide, at the bottom, you have the instructions to do that with static IPs (using iptables) [01:54] So.. but I don't see the problem on having that kind of IP 10.42.et [01:56] Beldar: I see a blinking underscore and that is all.... then after a few seconds it goes into loading windows 7 (or when I had the hdd removed it went on to try a network boot) [01:57] quit === root is now known as Guest81685 [01:58] chimerical26, You did ask if this was the correct ISO, can you share why? === tripelb is now known as UBOOboo [02:00] Because I couldn't find anything labelled Ubuntu_LiveDVD.iso or something similar and I wasn't sure if the full install and the Live DVD iso's were the same.....Perhaps I should try a 32bit iso [02:01] empty trash? Where is the trash? Ubooboo does now play well with only 1.3GB Free Space. [02:01] Ubuntu [02:01] chimerical26, Is this a 32 bit or 64 bit computer? Has it ever had W8 on it and or is it a uefi setup, two questions here. [02:02] I jammed up ao bad earloer that I had to hit tge power switch to reboot. Is there a keystroke way of rebooting? [02:02] UBOOboo, This an install or a live environment? === tan_ is now known as Guest95530 [02:04] articsun: can you answer? how to fix the BooBoo? [02:04] no.. [02:05] Beldar: gi. thanks. an install. +good distinction) [02:05] Beldar: Never had windows 8, i don't know what uefi is and I assumed 64bit but am back tracking and downloading a 32bit iso as we speak. (This is not my laptop. I am repairing it for some guy. A very strange issue. The touchpad and keyboard stop working as soon as windows starts loading. I've tried everything so I'm trying a linux live dvd to see if they work in that now) PS. If you've any cuggestions regarding the keyboard and touchpad I'm [02:06] * UBOOboo is on an old phone that gives me about a quarter inch od backscroll (2 lines) while I am typing. [02:07] UBOOboo, Uh so far most of what you have described makes no sense, can we get to the actual issue? [02:07] Beldar: gi. thanks. an install. +good distinction) [02:07] UBOOboo, are you a bot? [02:07] Beldar: installation. dual boot. thanks. an install. (Good distinction) [02:08] smells like abot to me [02:08] yep, looks like a bot :| [02:08] sorry i am a woman in LA [02:08] usually tripelb [02:09] huh [02:09] thats gross UBOOboo [02:09] tripleb ? [02:10] Stanley00: yep a bot [02:10] or a troll [02:10] I'll try to talk to text. everything slows down when I have no free space and I only have 1.3 gigss free [02:10] uh? [02:10] I just asked where the trash is I thought it was permanently deleted and the free space won't go up.. hence my question. [02:10] why are you even talking to us when you should be clearing up the space .. [02:11] no wonder you cant do what your describing [02:11] okay is it clear that I'm not a bot [02:11] uh no [02:11] You could be a troll [02:11] anyhow [02:11] the trash icon is on the bottom pane [02:11] its always there... [02:11] articsun: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:11] hello I am trying to get more free space on my drive this is not a troll [02:11] Or it is on the desktop [02:11] UBOOboo: well delete the junk you have. thats not really an issue [02:11] I have no trash icon [02:12] UBOOboo: You have to have one assuming your on Ubuntu and you don't know terminal commands [02:12] I know terminal commands. I am on a bunch too. I have no trash icon. I am using gnome-classic. [02:12] uh [02:12] ok [02:12] maybe there is something wrong with my installation then. [02:12] Sorry I cant help then [02:13] is there an official gnome classic ubuntu desktop? [02:13] whats the real problem UBOOboo [02:13] Most people here are experienced so.. [02:13] Random832, gnome 2 no. [02:13] I saw you in here 1 hr ago [02:13] Beldar: any luck with this guy ? [02:13] yes there is an official gnome classic. okay what is the terminal command to clear my trash. [02:13] Beldar: doesn't gnome 3 have a way to do it with a window manager and nautilus instead of gnomeshell? [02:14] !nounity | Random832 [02:14] Random832: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:14] i was wondering if there's an ubuntu metapackage and session setup to set that up [02:14] if I could google it I wouldn't be bothering with you. [02:14] ok gnome-panel thanks [02:14] 0 google it on my phone I'll be back [02:14] UBOOboo: Im sure you can .. maybe reinstall ? [02:14] that seem simple [02:14] back up and reinstall [02:14] or reinstall your DE [02:14] nevermind Arctic Sun you sound like the worst windows help desk person ever [02:14] Random832, what release you running? [02:14] or apparently "gnome-session-flashback" [02:14] Windows help desk person? [02:14] I run Arch Linux [02:15] thats pretty advanced compared to Ubuntu [02:15] 13.10 [02:15] so please don't mind me . I have better things to do [02:15] Beldar: your right he's a lost cause . Thanks for the warning [02:15] ;) [02:15] :) [02:15] articsun, hardly but glad you think so [02:15] UBOOboo: first, please pastebin output of "df -h" and "du -sh /* /home/*" [02:15] kk [02:16] hm [02:16] arch is linux and so is ibinti and about more than 300 other releases [02:16] ubuntu* [02:16] Beldar: of course but Arch is more advanced [02:16] for more advancers users [02:16] thats what I meant [02:16] Random832, sudo apt-get install gnome-panel for the pseudo gnome 2 de [02:17] articsun, hehe hardly [02:17] thanks Beldar [02:17] :P [02:17] the average joe will smash his keyboard :p [02:17] if he doesn't know how to use packman xD [02:17] articsun, arch does have excellent wiki's though [02:17] stan [02:17] thats true :P [02:17] Beldar: I burnt the 32bit iso to dvd and it loads. It gets to a purple screen with five white dots which in sequence turn to orange. When the last dot turns orange the laptop immediately shuts off. Any suggestions? [02:18] !nomodeset | chimerical26 [02:18] chimerical26: 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 [02:18] hi [02:18] hi [02:18] UBOOboo: yes? [02:18] chimerical26, might just need a low graphic boot, you can check the sum of the iso as well. [02:19] quit [02:19] god damn it. I remember live cds used to be a walk in the park. This is wrecking my buzz.... how many blank dvds do I have left for all this piss arsing around === Goldman60-W520 is now known as Guest44420 [02:21] chimerical26: do you burn the iso as image¿ are you maybe using UEFI¿ [02:21] chimerical26: stop wasting dvd's use a usb :P [02:22] Stanley00, I am here but I cant pastebin without a browser and they are too big. can I paste it into a private message to you then? [02:22] * tripelb is UBOOboo [02:22] !pastebinit | tripelb [02:22] tripelb: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:22] tripelb: | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [02:23] remember, I have no hard drive space to install anything. I am back in 1986 [02:24] tripelb: why don't you just use your computer to open a browser? all that output will not take over 10MB. [02:24] #xubuntu [02:24] I went to f6 and selected nomodeset and this time there were 4 dots and again the laptop just powered itself off [02:24] is there an applciation which keeps track of how often you use other applications you've installed? I'm curious about removing some stuff I haven't used on some machines in a long time that migth still be borrowing disk space. prefs for bash shell solutions [02:24] ben64 I dont quite understand that. I wil have to look up what sprung is... NO I CANNOT use a browser and http:// is browlerland. [02:24] Stanley00: sprunge is great! [02:24] tripelb: its a command, pastebins without a browser, you don't need a browser to access http [02:25] i think you do need to not be in 1986 though, you have to be in at least 1993 [02:25] join #xubuntu [02:25] Stanley00, if you want to look at the output I can put it in a pm. Ditto for anyone else. ... a.. the /sus and /tmp didnt have permission /var too [02:25] what's this about 1986 though? [02:26] Random832: if 2013 can't beat 1986, I'm not sure what the question is [02:26] tripelb: OK then, just pm me the output [02:26] Beldar: I pressed f6 on boot and selected nomodeset and this time there were 4 dots and again the laptop just powered itself off [02:26] tripelb: how are you able to pm it but not pastebin it? === whoever is now known as Guest83528 [02:27] Hi Random832 - I have a problame I use 12.04 gnome-classic and dont have a trash icon. I have a somewhat problematic install that freezes. Oops not enough freespace, only 1.3GB so I deleted and it doesnt show. I have no fliping idea how to find the Trash. All help would be appreciated. (rather than saying I'm a bot or a troll) I can use terminal but I dont know a lot. Thanks [02:28] Ben64, I do not have enough free space to use a browser. IRC is 1986 technology. [02:28] how big is your hard drive total [02:29] * zykotick9 thinks irc is 2013 technology as well ;) [02:29] and they just told you how to pastebin without a browser [02:29] tripelb, /home/user/.local/share/Trash [02:29] filled to 1.3G less than totally fill. [02:29] tripelb: you were shown two command lines that pastebin _without_ a browser, and free space does not matter if you can use a browser or not, i'm thinking you have many other problems [02:29] 1.3G is plenty of space to install pastebinit [02:29] Random832, what they told me involved going to an http site WHICH MEANS BROWSER. [02:29] also why don't you already have a browser [02:29] ....no it involved TYPING A HTTP URL AS PART OF A COMMAND LINE [02:30] tripelb: please read better [02:30] also only one of them did, the other didn't [02:30] Yous guys are stoned or somethign. I will try elsewhere and come back and tell you what to do. [02:30] you just saw "http" and your brain turned off [02:30] tripelb, open home then search type in trash [02:30] durr they must want me to click this [02:30] tripelb: if thats the attitude you bring here, you need not return at all [02:32] ben64 I'm been an enthusiastic user of #ubuntu starting in 2006 and I've never ever gotten this kind o attitude. [02:32] tripelb: you're refusing to provide any information, what are we to do? [02:32] tripelb: is this a joke? [02:33] Ben64: I've seen that user on here for a 1-2 hrs and the've been asking the asme question [02:33] same quesiton* [02:33] find me Dr_Willia or one of the oldline serious folks. [02:33] yes darling you are the one who is trashing me arctic_sun [02:33] tripelb: he'd need the same info we need [02:34] np I'll be back with how to do it with ease. bye for now. [02:34] tripelb: you are looking for the gnome trash dir? or just the desktop icon? [02:35] tripelb: iirc, the icon was enabled in a setting in gnome classic, the directory should be ~/.local/share/Trash I believ [02:38] Hi, I'm having a hard time increasing my "open files" ulimit for user "ubuntu" under Ubuntu 13.10. I have set my sysctl fs.file-max = 2047080, and I have added these entries https://gist.github.com/jey/39989df57ff23ef1bcb1 to my /etc/security/limits.conf and I have rebooted, but ulimit -Hn still says 4096. how can I fix this? [02:38] I'm using the Ubuntu 13.10 image provided by Amazon EC2 (I could get the AMI number if needed) [02:39] Anyone know how I can dim the screen to a really low setting? [02:40] Mongo44: do the acpi keys not work? [02:40] Mongo44, brightness [02:41] I would like to go even dimmer. [02:41] Mongo44: what's that for? [02:42] Mongo44: if you have an nvidia gpu and driver setup, you can apply "Color Correction" using 'nvidia-settings' [02:42] jey: I think you must set that number depend on your memory, if you set it too high, it won't work. [02:42] #ubuntu [02:42] Mongo44: idk what its called for ATI or Intel though [02:42] Stanley00: well, I have 60GB [02:42] When there is no light my display still seems too bright. [02:42] Mongo44: as beldar suggested brightness in system settings has a nice slider what should work? do it ? [02:42] Stanley00: but yeah, I'll divide them all by 10 and try again [02:43] does it? even [02:43] jey: you number is currently take about 80GB memory, if I calculate correct :D [02:43] hello i have question: i am running ubuntu hosting virtualbox with ubuntu as guest [02:43] ha! okay :) [02:43] kriskropd: How do I apply those settings? [02:43] and my question is the guest ubuntu does not have synaptic [02:44] why is this so? [02:44] sophocles: because they are a guest? [02:44] Stanley00: how do you calculate that? [02:44] Mongo44: for me, under nvidia-settings each of my individual displays are listed in a tree list under my GPU item [02:44] sophocles, synaptic is not in any release as of now, you have to install it. [02:44] Sopheria: what exact ubuntu version are you using? [02:44] Mongo44: then I just go to the Color Correction tab for each display where I can adjust Brightness and COntrast and Gamma [02:44] beldar: O I C [02:44] Stanley00: and yeah, it does work now. thanks :) [02:44] very nice [02:44] thanks guys [02:45] so why move away from synaptic in newer version? [02:45] Oh, I use a laptop, so there is no seperate controls for the LCD. [02:45] jey: welcome :D [02:45] sophocles: ubuntu has software center instead. that way they can sell stuff too iirc [02:46] I guess redshift helps somewhat : | [02:46] Mongo44: that would be a hacky approach,b ut yes redshift would do what you wanted as well, even if that is not what it was intended for [02:47] Mongo44: the controls I mentioned were specific to nvidia's driver capabilities - your drivers may vary [02:47] Mongo44: there are controls in /sys/class/backlight that you can interface with if you want to do it via a shell script [02:48] I thought redshift was used for low light conditions. [02:48] By shell script do you mean the terminal? [02:49] Mongo44: well, yeah [02:49] Mongo44: can you try running this "xbacklight -set 10" in terminal [02:50] Mongo44: redshift adjusts the non-red colors to help keep your eyes from drying - it just happens to also give you some brightness controls too [02:50] so what do you guys do if you don't mind me asking [02:51] sophocles: what? [02:51] sophocles: this is a support channel - we try to support and get support [02:51] sophocles: maybe as in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:51] we also have an !ot channel if you need a place to goof off [02:51] !ot [02:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:52] That command didn't dim the screen any. [02:52] #ubuntu-offtopic [02:52] Mongo44: looks like some driver issue :D [02:53] #ubuntu_offtopic [02:53] so what are my options? [02:54] i'm pretty new to irc [02:54] sophocles: try /join #ubuntu-offtopic [02:54] sophocles: are you trying to type '/join #ubuntu-offtopic' [02:54] sophocles: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic and you will go there [02:54] yes [02:54] thanks [02:54] :) [02:54] Mongo44: sadly, I can't help much with that :( [02:55] Mongo44: can you pastebin the output of: ls -l /sys/class/backlight [02:55] yo mates, do ubuntu have command line programs to mix audio? group small audio files into one, to add some effects and such? [02:55] What command do I use to find that? [02:55] aFeijo: take a look at #ffmpeg channel, good application, very versatile, lots of documentationa nd support there [02:56] and* [02:56] kriskropd, thanks! [02:56] I will [02:56] ls: cannot access /home/tovah/.local/share/trash: No such file or directory -- ok I did rm -rf ~/.Trash/* and the df -h and I still have too much fullness. -- Thanks [02:57] Mongo44: can you install pastebinit; sudo apt-get install pastebinit [02:57] couldn't I just copy and paste? [02:58] Mongo44: you could too, might be simpler to install that and copy + paste the url it generates instead [02:58] Also thanks to whoever told me I could open a browser. I just went to firefox and that worked. Now I want a program like the old "xtree" was it? That will tell me shwere my "stuff" is, ie which directories are the big ones. -- Someone asked me about the drive. The partition os about 33 GB. The drive is about 3x that. [02:58] I was in the process of moving photos to another partition. [02:59] tripelb: if you are looking for some other ideas to save space, you can try running 'sudo apt-get clean' -- these cleans out packages you probably don't need (notice "probably" make sure to inspect which packages it says it will remove before hitting "yes" otherwise you might need to redownlaod some packages later) [03:00] does anyone have a ubunto group cloak? [03:00] KickStarRabbit: you can ask for cloak on #freenode [03:01] i already have [03:01] Alright I have pastebinit. [03:01] but am looking for a ubunto one affiliation [03:02] !ot | KickStarRabbit you need to become a member https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [03:02] hitsujiTMO: What should I do next? [03:02] ubottu: has been kind of lazy tonight, hasn't it [03:02] kriskropd: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:02] oh, there you are :D [03:03] Mongo44: ls -l /sys/class/backlight | pastebinit [03:03] Mongo44: or if you can tell, jsut say if the directory is empty or not - mine is empty for instance - shouldn't be this much trouble to find out :) [03:06] if he is using the proprietary Nvida drivers that kills the backlight control [03:06] (at least on my Thinkpad W520) [03:06] same here (using an old 9800GT card) [03:06] It's saying it is empty. What is the -1 that precedes it for? [03:07] Mongo44: just helps format the listing that normal 'ls' provides [03:07] Mongo44: its a lowercase L, it shows hidden files and extra info [03:07] Goldman60, -l doesn't show hidden files [03:07] My bad [03:07] Goldman60, -a does [03:07] re 12.04 gnome classic. In nautilus I see Home and File System. I now understand that I should see Trash below that. Is that true? If so I have a problem. [03:08] Goldman60: that is -a ;) [03:08] but yea, I usually use them together too [03:08] * kriskropd is slow :X [03:08] I have a bunch of ls aliases so I haven't touched the flags in a while [03:08] Mongo44: any output here: find /sys/devices/ -name brightness [03:08] hello [03:08] The terminal is telling me -l is a command not found. [03:08] tripelb2: its been awhile since I've used any of the things you are describing :D but iirc you can adjust the natuilus bookmarks in settings [03:08] Hmm, I have an odd issue. I am using gnome and proprietary nvidia drivers. I just ran a game in Wine that adjusted my brightness settings to annoying bright and it changed my whole monitor not just the game. When I go to the system settings to change brightness ... there doesnt seem to be any way for me to do so [03:09] nautilus* - look in settings about including a trash shorcut [03:09] Mongo44: you need to add the ls before that [03:09] kriskropd, I dont know what a nautilus bookmark is, so I dont know if what you said applies. [03:10] Mongo44: please reread the initial command i gave you [03:10] Mongo44: ls -l /sys/class/backlight | pastebinit [03:10] Whatever happened to Action_Parsnip - he was always so clear. [03:10] tripelb2: those shortcuts on the left (it was the left, right? ._.) the little sidebar with thinks like /Home and such are bookmarks to locations on your disk and you can configure them however you like [03:11] kriskropd, looking in settings. oh reading what you just said.. [03:11] Still saying the directory is empty. [03:11] tripelb2: how exactly you do that escapes me as I haven't touched nautilus in years ('ranger' is my file manager of choice) [03:11] Mongo44: any output here: find /sys/devices/ -name brightness === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [03:13] nautilus Edit, Prerences open up: File Management Settings. It SAYS to confirm delets but this has not been happening. I also see nothing about a Trash choice in left-column "bookmarks" [03:14] kriskropd, how do you get ranger? I never heard of it before. [03:14] tripelb2: I was looking in a newer install of nautilus and I admit I cannot find any such setting to enable/disable trash either, I do see I have a trash location even though it errors because I dont actually have a proper desktop setup for nautilus [03:16] tripelb2: it's in repositories if you are interested, it runs in a bash shell with a curses interface. It's probably not the latest version, but you can try it with 'sudo apt-get install ranger' - with some extra configuring you can improve it by modifying the configs to your preferences [03:17] tripelb2: another light weight file manager I know of that stil uses a gtk interface is 'pcmanfm' - I don't know if this works with the nautilus trash or not though [03:17] That first command worked I just had to type it right. Here is the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6517781/ [03:19] tripelb: doesn't ubuntu come with disk usage analyser. that will show you a nice graphical display of your disk usage so you can find what needs to be deleted === szicari is now known as seanz [03:19] hitsujiTMO: Does that reading tell you anything? [03:19] tripelb2: hitsujiTMO is referring to 'baobab' [03:20] Mongo44 has an Intel card :) [03:20] Mongo44: can you type in a terminal 'cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight' [03:21] Mongo44: you might be able to adjust the value from there if it's not just a boolean value [03:22] even tho I cleared trash if I go to trash and properties in nautilus it says that it contains 8.6 GB ---- OIC I cleared the wrong place (following someone's orders) $ rm -rf ~/.Trash/* --- now I did: $ rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [03:22] Mongo44: sorry, I'll explain. 'cat' reads a file - I'm curious what the current contents of that file is in order to get a better idea of how it works [03:23] It says that is a directory not a file. [03:23] now I have half of my HD free 9.8 and half used. excellent. [03:23] Thats all the terminal said, nothing else. [03:24] hi, I'm new to linux. now I'm looking for a fast IDE for coding in c++, what do you suggest? I need the code completion feature btw [03:24] NOW I have kept my promise and told you what I needed to do. Simple minds are intelligent minds who can see what the current problem is and is not. THANKS TO ALL WHO TRIED. [03:25] tripelb2: thanks for calling us stupid [03:25] Mongo44: ok. i need the output of a number of commands now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6517816/ [03:25] hmm bowie check the Software Center [03:25] ;) [03:25] :) [03:25] To recap.

Could someone help me to find out where to get that? thx === timo is now known as Guest14239 [03:45] rostam: there seem to be several installation options given to you here http://autobahn.ws/python/getstarted/ [03:47] rostam: it seems you can get easy_install by using 'sudo apt-get install python-setuptools' - and then just follow the instructions as listed there [03:47] there being the URL above [03:48] rostam: there's also: sudo apt-get install python-autobahn [03:49] hi [03:49] kriskropd thanks [03:50] How do I install a program and all it's dependencies? - Trying to install scala 2.11.0-M7 deb; but there were unmet dependencies (such as Java, which apt-get isn't playing nice with) [03:51] kitsujiTMO: the pythong-autobahn is for Ubuntu saucy, I am on precise ... [03:51] AlecTaylor: sudo apt-get -f install === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [03:51] rostam: then you could try: pip install autobahn [03:51] rostam: then you could try: sudo pip install autobahn [03:52] rostam: without sudo if you're using a virtualenv [03:52] hitsujiTMO: Tried that already, made no difference [03:53] is there still a lot of issues with suspend to ram with 13.10? [03:53] AlecTaylor: where did you get the .deb ? [03:53] hitsujiTMO, what is pip ? [03:53] rostam: pip is the python equivalent of apt-get [03:53] hitsujiTMO, thx [03:54] because after upgrading, it takes about ~25 seconds to suspend and network doesn't work automatically afterwords [03:54] i wil git back too u [03:54] hitsujiTMO, apt-get install autobahn fails: Unable to locate package autobahn [03:55] rostam: but is pip failing? [03:55] Man installing a ppa on a server is weird. [03:55] Installing from* [03:56] hitsujiTMO, no apt-get install I used pip and installed fine thanks so much [03:56] zzxc: all you need to do is add the ppa with 'add-apt-repository' then 'sudo apt-get update' and then you can pull in your package like any other with apt-get [03:56] rostam: when you get a chance you should look into using virtualenv too. its really sexy [03:56] zzxc: server or not doesn [03:56] kriskropd: Nope add-apt-repository isn't installed by defualt. [03:56] doesn't really make a difference :) [03:57] zzxc: which version of ubuntu are you on? :o [03:57] kriskropd: 12.04 lts [03:57] hitsujiTMO, what is virtualenv ? [03:57] kriskropd: You have to do an apt-get install python-software-properties to get it to work. [03:58] zzxc: ah strange, I thought i remember it being on by default, aals it seems all you need to do to get it is 'sudo apt-get install python-software-properties' [03:58] alas* [03:58] which isn't that difficult :/ [03:58] kriskropd: I mean it makes sense for the most part. Installing a ppa on a server machine does kind of sound like a bad idea, but its still weird that they wouldn't make you track down a different package first. [03:59] kriskropd: Yeah I know. But like I said its a little weird. [03:59] zzxc: nothing weird about that, I've installed many ppa before [03:59] kriskropd: On server? [04:00] kriskropd: Like what? [04:00] 192.168.32.2 +6697 [04:00] zzxc: yup, I run two headless boxes and one which runs even more headless servers as virtual machines [04:00] zzxc: for isntances I get latest ranger and tmxu packages that way :) [04:00] rostam: it sets up a python environment that allows you to install what ever packages (without sudo) to that environment. so that you don't get any conflicts or have packages unnecessarily available globally. [04:00] tmux* [04:00] kriskropd: Hahahah alright yeah that makes sense. [04:01] hitsujiTMO, Thank you, one more: I also would like to install pyxmlrpc [04:02] rostam: try: sudo pip install pyxmlrpc [04:02] hitsujiTMO, I did and it can not find any downloads === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:06] <_davide> howdy -- any idea why manpages-posix-dev package is not available on 13.10? [04:06] <_davide> maybe it was replaced by something else? [04:07] rostam: looks like pyxmlrpc hasnt been updated since 2003. are you sure you want it and not some alternative package? [04:08] hitsujiTMO, Thanks I need to rethink that again. :) thank you so much for all your help [04:09] I wrote a ruby script "lala.rb", put "#!/usr/bin/env ruby" at the beginning of the file and did "chmod u+x" on it. However I can still only run it via "./lala" in the local folder and not via "lala" globally. I tried putting it in "/usc/local" but that didnt do the job. What is the correct approach? [04:10] siwica: you need to put it (or a symlink to it) somewhere in your PATH. For your user, you can just use ~/bin (create it and log in again if that directory does not exist) [04:10] rostam: btw, i prefer jsonrpc. its got a much lighter load and works well with javascript or anyother language that supports json [04:10] rostam: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-jsonrpc [04:13] jrib: thanks ill try this [04:15] I want to change the setting: open_basedir in php.ini to only allow php to open files in my webroot. Thing is, dont really know which my webroot is ;/ . Is it the dir where my .html .php etc are located? And if thats the case and I want to set up to websites then I would have two webroots right? [04:18] putting the file in ~/bin didnt change anything, even though I logged in again after and confirmed ~/bin is in $PATH [04:18] MarGul: Generally webroot refers to where apache is configured to look for files. [04:18] (For that vhost) [04:19] I can only assume thats what mod_php does [04:20] siwica: What is the current contents of $PATH? What does 'which lala.rb' show?

[04:25] anybody know a good way to speed up Jar games that run on openjdk? like Minecraft? [04:26] buu: I am using nginx and mine is configured to look at /usr/share/nginx/html as my root. So that would probably be my open_basedir right? [04:26] MarGul: Probably! [04:26] buu: Thanks :) [04:26] God knows how php handles php.ini [04:26] What an insane concept [04:27] buu: I have been tweaking for 2 days with php.ini to try and get it somehow secure. And yes, it's insane hehe [04:27] -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 4506 Dez 4 05:03 /home/simon/bin/blabla.rb [04:29] siwica: So its not executable for simon [04:30] buu: which chmod param would that be? [04:30] siwica: in this case, o+x [04:30] But why do you have files owned by root in your home directory? [04:32] buu: dont know [04:32] buu: how do I change the ownership?

[04:40] buu: and I am logged in as simon, blabla.rb is in ~/bin which itself is in $PATH [04:40] okee: you don't need to add it to the fstab if you mount it properly. you need a mountpoint in there [04:41] buu: ok, it does work with the rb extension [04:41] ...

What should I enter to get the correct mount point? [04:42] okee: check "man mount" for the syntax [04:42] I am looking at the documentation and it looks like I shouldn't be using vfat. That would be for a fat file system, and I am using ext4. [04:43] buu: I thought that's why you put #!/usr/bin/env ruby at the beginning of the file [04:43] siwica: That tells the kernel how to execute the file, it is independent of the filename [04:43] siwica: You can name the file whatever you want [04:44] why is gnome3 such a nightmare [04:44] buu: ok, I guess I got it know [04:44] buu: sorry [04:45] yeyeman, what do you mean?

I just made the switch half a year ago, so I still need to get rid of some ideology it seems ;) [04:48] ah nvm [04:48] siwica: Have you learned the 'file' command?

[04:49] Ben> I am not able to pull up the man page because the problem computer is booted from the live CD and the computer that I am on now is a windows box with no linux. However, I did locate the man page online, and came up with http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount Based on the information in the ubuntu forums, I am wondering if need the mount command at all, and whether or not I should just enter [04:49] "device: /dev/sdc5"?

[04:51] thanks [04:52] mi frend [04:52] geekmasterflash, something which can be abstracted to Cleanliness [04:52] yeyeman, I hardly think you can get more clean than gnome-flashback [04:52] ok ok . . . . bie [04:53] yeyeman, Applications in clearly marked areas, the ability to add launchers as simple drag and drop actions, and easily customizable interface [04:53] yeyeman, But I am not here to tell you how awesome I think gnome is, I am here to help [04:54] yeyeman, I find most problems people have tends to be when they are using Gnome-Shell or gnome, the non-flashback version [04:54] yeyeman, Which I'd say yes, it's rather clunky and confusing, especially if you are using gnome shell [04:55] yeyeman, Otherwise, if you don't like even gnome-flashback, I'd recommend unity or KDE [04:55] yeyeman, And if you want hyperminimalism as your cleanness, then xfce [04:58] yeyeman, http://imageshack.us/f/560/nisd.png/ [04:58] yeyeman, Seems pretty clean to me. [04:58] I'll have to look into gnome-flashback, as I said it may well be the case that I haven't figured out how to configure it properly yet [04:58] yeyeman, Take a look at that screen shot [04:59] yeyeman, That's what gnome flash back looks like [04:59] yeyeman, Minus the Giger background [04:59] haha oh god that screen shot is horrible [04:59] desktop icons [04:59] I put those there [04:59] they aren't the default [05:00] some kind of CPU conky widget?? [05:00] Yup [05:00] ay ay ay [05:01] Anyway, people can hate on desktop icons, but I find them fairly efficient [05:02] ive not seen desktop icons in so long :O === angel is now known as Guest42944 [05:02] Yes well, Unity just threw them into a side panel [05:02] :P [05:02] Making them both harder to find, and boxy [05:02] geekmasterflash, I think we have some different ideas of what constitutes cleanliness === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [05:03] yeyeman, I suppose. I concern myself with efficiently getting where I want to be without having to fuss with stupid things [05:04] If a gui gets in your way, then it's not doing it's job very well [05:05] tis why the linux enthuasiasts tend to use cli more and more - they eventually figure it out :) [05:05] indeed, kriskropd [05:07] geekmasterflash, probably it's the case that what I'm look for in a desktop is what you would label hyperminimalism [05:08] yeyeman, Then you probably want xcfe, or again, gnome flashback with a different theme [05:08] xfce [05:08] yeyeman: are you looking for a desktop environment? window manager? [05:08] kriskropd, DE [05:08] yes, sorry, xfce* [05:08] its ok :) [05:09] yeyeman: ah, I use dwm+dmenu from suckless, its a tiling window manager, cuts out a lot of stuff [05:10] yeyeman: its nto an "environment" though and if you don't like having to type the name of applications every time you want to open them, you need to create your own dmenu list, but it would be what I call functional minimalism [05:10] not* [05:11] or one of many options to functional minimalism, rather [05:12] yeyeman: archlinux has a lot of minimalist enthusiasts too, you might want to check out some of the ideas for environments there https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=47 - many of the needed packages are available in ubuntu repositories [05:13] Downloading Ubuntu now, and when I run it with VirtualBox, do I just select it? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [05:13] Downloading Ubuntu now, and when I run it with VirtualBox, do I just select it?

[07:10] um [07:11] Hello guys. It seems that every time I install an application through wine it becomes the default application for opening its associated mime types, overriding what is set at a system level. Can I prevent this behavior from happening? I'd like that instead, the default options would always be the system defaults, no matter what I install through wine (I'm using wine 1.4.1 and a XFCE desktop) === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [07:18] paco: that default is set in .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, maybe you can remove write permission to that file :D [07:19] well, I think that default isn't set there but somewhere globally, perhaps in /usr/share/mime something Stanley00 [07:20] but as soon as wine creates the file in .local/share/applications... it becomes the preferred one for my user [07:21] I'd like if wine created the entry, but didn't make it default, do you understand me? [07:21] paco: I know, but I rarely use wine, so I can't help much, just have an idea above :D [07:22] I'm sorry you can't help me Stanley00, it's a pain in the ass [07:23] I've been learning a lot about wine prefixes, hacks for these stupid proprietary programs, thought I was over, but.. no ! there's always more fun === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off === Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob === shuduo is now known as shuduo_afk === shuduo_afk is now known as shuduo === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [07:38] my laptop is Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, I want to use a 3G though USB, my type is asb t930-s, I use model_switch, but it can't be work [07:39] what should i do next...?

[10:06] My system logs into terminal after Nvida upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/6518813/ [10:06] anuska_: Ok, I have a plan. [10:07] anuska_: You use eth2 to share the internet, so set it's IP address to 192.168.0.1 (I'll do a pastebin for /etc/network/interfaces entry) [10:09] usr13, i configure with 10.42.0.1 [10:09] anuska_: For the entry in /etc/network/interfaces: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6518941/ [10:09] and work [10:09] but i want 192.168. === Kurko_ is now known as Kurko [10:11] is there any way to connect single wifi with two wireless networks and sum up their speed [10:12] anuska_: Add following lines to /etc/rc.local (before EOL line): http://paste.ubuntu.com/6518952/ [10:13] kalakjsd: not with common wifi-hardware, you'd need at least a wifi-adapter with 2 receivers [10:13] yes usr13 that is [10:13] but need tosee how to modify route [10:13] anuska_: Connect the other PC to the eth2 interface. [10:13] is there a way to "silence" an upstart job? [10:14] Pretty desperate after the last few days here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6518950/ [10:14] llutz: many cheap andriod device support hotspot, i have laptop and i don't assuming hotspot, but how to know that my hardware support that feature or not [10:15] anuska_: On the other PC do: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2;sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 [10:15] kalakjsd: hotspot only uses 1 wifi-rx/tx, android hotspots don#t share wifi-connections afaik [10:15] anuska_: And in the other PC's /etc/resolv.conf file add line: nameserver 8.8.8.8 [10:16] yes let me config [10:16] llutz: NO, a single android device can connect with 5 devices, and can share 3g internet speed between 5 devices, i checkd that [10:17] kalakjsd: yes, but it cannot share a wifi-connection [10:17] llutz: although my laptop is connected to only one, which is android' wifi === Guest70503 is now known as r_lex === apw` is now known as apw [10:19] llutz: it's not sharing really. To "share" wifi, you would need 2 wifi antennas, 2 wifi connections, one client and one hotspot and a bridge/nat router inside. That's a lot to ask a phone to do, considering it's not meant to be an AP repeater/router device and has 1 wifi system. [10:19] llutz: An Android phone can tether with USB to share its wifi connection with a non-wifi PC [10:19] or do what Rory said ;) that will work. [10:19] Rory: how is that related to kalakjsd question [10:19] * Rory scrolls up a bit [10:20] * iptable scrolls as well [10:20] oh kalakjsd you are looking to "bond" two connections, that's the word you are looking to research :) [10:20] up route add -net 172.20.11.0/16 gw 172.20.10.254 dev eth1 [10:20] some of that [10:20] Rory: are you any good at Nvidia and unity config? [10:20] kalakjsd: to establish 2 connections to 2 different wifi-nets, you would need your wifi-hardware to be able to send/receive on 2 channels tha same time. that isn't possible with most aaptors, and different from android hotspot-functionality === lili is now known as Guest89684 [10:21] xeberdee_: It depends what you need and what your problem is; I'm not going to commit to helping because I have a meeting in 5 minutes, but if you summarise your problem I'm sure someone can help [10:21] Rory: thanks, I'll give it a go [10:21] Pretty desperate after the last few days here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6518950/ [10:22] llutz: so I was right even though I didn't know what the question was. I'm good :P [10:22] fesf [10:23] xeberdee_: How did you install the nvidia drivers originally? through the package manager, or downloaded from nvidia's website? [10:24] kalakjsd: android hotspot has (up to 5) connections only on 1 frequency/chan, therefor it works [10:26] Anuska: For permanent configuration: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6518990/ [10:26] xeberdee_: you could try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current" [10:26] heya guys, quick question, if i have mysql installed with phpmyadmin, would it cause problems if i install postgresql as well? [10:26] meh32: no [10:26] thanks [10:29] hi folks. So, I'd like to run a script any time I enable the wlan0 card on my laptop (switching it on). What's the suggested way? [10:31] fortin: To do what? [10:31] fortin: And how will you switch it on? (with ifconfig)? [10:32] you could create an upstart script [10:32] usr13, is it really important? :D anyway, to setup openvpn, and no it is switched on by a on-off button on the laptop [10:32] I guess NetworkManager could do the trick [10:32] but maybe there's a better solution [10:32] fortin: Yes [10:32] Rory: I tried that but it didn't work. I did unity --reset which might have some effect [10:33] fortin: You want to just manually run the script? === shuduo is now known as shuduo_afk [10:34] usr13, I want -> 1) if I switch the wifi interface button on, openvpn starts 2) off , it stops [10:34] hello? [10:35] fortin: not sure if that works if you put it into /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d . you might read further on [10:35] Is any body use the 'irssi' chat client? [10:36] lili_: your real question is? [10:36] fortin: you could try to grab event from iwevent to find out when you are connected, or alternatively monitor IP [10:37] or in /etc/network/if-up.d, that would work ONCE the interface is up, which is what you really want. [10:37] you could utilise if-down.d to shut it down [10:37] How can I fix this? Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 304.88, [10:37] but this NVIDIA driver component has version 173.14.35. Please make [10:37] sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components [10:38] fortin: I'm thinking that network-manager will do what you want. === Cybert1nus is now known as Cybertinus [10:39] usr13, yep! thanks [10:39] Hi, everybody. [10:40] lili_: Yes [10:40] lili_: A lot of us use irssi [10:41] usr13: I just use irssi. === berend is now known as Guest26683 [10:41] lili_: http://www.irssi.org/documentation [10:41] spammer? hi [10:41] hi [10:41] What's your problem? [10:42] the ubuntu exim4 init script seems to fail creating the pidfile, any ideas why? I can't see any obvious issues, it looks like it's trying to create one in /var/run/exim4/, which exists, but the file never gets created [10:42] usr13: The irssi, how search channle list? [10:42] lili_: That is not a function of irssi [10:42] !alis | lili_ [10:42] lili_: 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* [10:42] !channels | lili_ [10:42] lili_: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist and !alis - See also !Guidelines [10:43] ubottu: thanks. [10:43] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [10:44] lili_: Depending on what IRC server you are on, there are many channels (usually). [10:44] usr13: en. [10:45] enbergj: check folder permissions there [10:45] can anybody help me get better res in terminal? [10:45] well yeah, I was thinking of that, but it's running as root, and the init script is running as root .. [10:46] right, what version of ubuntu? [10:46] 12.04 [10:46] iptable: Your question is hard to me. Sorry I can't give a anser. [10:46] does ubuntu (LTS) ever removes older versions of Linux kernel, after numerous updates? [10:47] lili_: I am not asking you any questions [10:47] nikolam, no, never [10:47] nikolam, removal of kernels is a MANUAL operation that you, the lucky sysadmin, get to do! [10:47] nikolam: unfortunately those issues have been quite effectively ignored in almost all distributions .. there's a few distros coming out with a feature for deleting the old versions now, but only a few [10:47] how i install my ati radeon driver for X? === trijntje_ is now known as trijntje [10:48] I have no unity, so I need to up the res of the terminal [10:48] I used to have problems with that on low disk space systems. I *THINK* I used to make it work removing some packages that depend of exact version, but just on latest... [10:48] I consider that a fairly big bug especially when some auto-installer sets up with like 200MB /boot and then starts auto-installing a new kernel every week [10:49] enbergj: /var/run/exim4 should have 750 with user Debian-exim:Debian-exim. For some reason when the folder is owned as root, exim doesn't start [10:49] enbergj, I am happy distributions now support BTRFS snapshots, so you can have old copy of the system. At least that should be working. Just some people reported that it keeps only latest system snapshot. Need to see that in practice yet. === rawagner is now known as rawagner|afk [10:50] enbergj also make sure there is no PID file there in the first place before starting exim [10:50] iptable: the folder is set up just like that .. I meant that exim4 is running as root, and the init script is running as root, so they should have permissions to set up the pidfile either way [10:50] there is no pidfile there at all, never, ever, probably never has been [10:51] Is there like a protocol for this channel to get help - or is it just ask? [10:51] !asj [10:51] !ask [10:51] 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 [10:51] xeberdee_: youjustask [10:51] nikolam: I was quite depressed when I first decided to give LVM snapshots a try and realized it's not a snapshot at all, it's a volume copy mislabeled as snapshot -> needs diskspace allocated from the volume pool .. and I thought it was going to be something sane, similar to zfs snapshots [10:51] usr13: thanks [10:51] I hope btrfs snapshots is more sane [10:51] energj: does exim start at all? also, what is the error you actually get? [10:52] I get no error, exim4 starts fine [10:52] Pretty desperate after the last few days here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6518950/ [10:52] enbergj, btrfs and zfs are different. those are truly allocations on the block level. [10:52] the issue is that it doesn't create the pidfile, thus trying to check for status fails, as it tries to check for existence of pidfile [10:52] no unity after unity --reset [10:52] how i remote connect at X using windows 7? but i let a logon user on computer and i want to connect at that user [10:53] zfs is longer here [10:53] i use teamviewer [10:53] but is other fast? [10:53] grep -i pid /etc/init.d/exim4 to see where it puts the pid file. Maybe some other location... [10:54] How might I go about getting unity started? [10:54] iptable: I know exactly where it's supposed to put it, I echoed it in that file when it calls start_daemon with the pidfile parameter, it is not creating the file [10:54] xeberdee_: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [10:54] anuska_: you are not making a lot of sense, but try X11 forwarding with putty and e.g. Xming on your windows 7 machine .. google can tell you more [10:54] yes [10:55] usr13: 12.0.4 [10:55] enbergj just for the sake of argument, chmod 777 /var/run/exim4 - just to be on the safe side it's not that. Can come back to 750 after test [10:55] xeberdee_, What release are you running? [10:55] iptable: /etc/init.d/exim4 is telling start_daemon (from /lib/lsb/init-functions) to start exim4 with the pidfile at /var/run/exim4/exim.pid .. start_daemon then passes this to start-stop-daemon, but this file isn't created .. the folder is owned by Debian-exim, but the script is running as root anyways [10:55] while trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, i get this error, any idea why? (same error 32 and 64 bits: http://puu.sh/5BLmL.png ) [10:55] xeberdee_: SO, how did you install your nvidia driver? [10:55] sure, will try [10:55] xeberdee_: From the package manager? [10:56] Sebastien, yeah, you're using wubi. [10:56] xeberdee_: You could just revert to the open-source driver for now. Want to do that? [10:56] iptable: no change [10:56] cfhowlett i used the download link, got the .iso and mounted it with powerISO, and run it to install. right? [10:56] xeberdee_: If so, just do: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:57] hi [10:57] Sebastien, wubi is the dracula of the ubuntu world. it's died, come back, been staked through the heart and is currently "dead" again so ... why not dual boot or put ubuntu in a virtualbox [10:57] enbergj: that's an interesting issue. Try inotifywait on the /var/run/exim4 directory (with recursion). This will tell you if the start-stop-daemon even tries to get to that folder [10:57] inotifywatch that is [10:57] Sebastien, You need to burn the iso to a dvd or put it on a usb and boot it to install. [10:57] usr13: originally yes, I switched in a gui, and then did unity --reset according to a forum. I tried removing the xorg.conf but to no avail. [10:57] xeberdee_: It's 12.04 (not 12.0.4) [10:57] cfhowlett and Beldar. thank you [10:58] i have issues with my install of 12.04 [10:58] after i watch a video in youtube , is it saved somewhere temprarily in ubuntu [10:58] ? [10:58] Beldar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6519117/ [10:58] !details|glasz_, [10:58] glasz_,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [10:58] fglrxinfo [10:58] fglrxinfo? [10:58] !fglrxinfo [10:58] xeberdee_: What happens right now when you do sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [10:59] sudo apt-get install fglrx [10:59] i have blank screen at startup, same with live cd but it works if i set nomodeset, so i added nomodeset to grub but the installed version still freezes . I'm wondering if it is nvidia related : last line of xorg log : [ 20.882] (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling 2D acceleration [11:00] usr13: cannot remove `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory [11:00] iptable: no, it doesn't look like start-stop-daemon is doing anything in that folder [11:00] xeberdee_: Ok. So... what exactly is the problem? === P4tt3rn_ is now known as P4tt3rn [11:01] usr13: I'm in the terminal. When I boot I get no unity. [11:01] enbergj can you pastebin your /etc/init.d/exim4 file? My one works out of the box [11:01] xeberdee_: So you just get console mode? No GUI at all? [11:01] usr13: yes [11:02] Hi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6519132/ what driver recommanded? [11:02] xeberdee_: Is this a fresh instal? [11:02] xeberdee_: 12.04.3 ? [11:02] usr13: no, it's been running for about a year I think [11:02] xeberdee_: cat /etc/issue #Tell us what it says. [11:02] hey guys... having linux, what video cards should i avoid? ATI or NVIDIA? [11:02] usr13: yes, that's right12.04.3 [11:03] ATI RV516 XT Radeon X1600 Series [11:03] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [11:03] iptable: I could, but the issue really doesn't seem to be the exim4 init script, I just modified /lib/lsb/init-functions slightly to make it also echo in start_daemon if it goes to the correct if -case and uses the correct pidfile, and it echoed the path to the pidfile it was going to create, yet this pidfile was never created [11:03] xeberdee_: ^^^ [11:03] usr13: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l [11:04] xeberdee_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [11:04] VlanX: *shouldn't* really need to avoid videocards in the current day and age, but I found intel graphics cards work best :) [11:04] xeberdee_, maybe even sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [11:04] after i watch a video in youtube , is it saved somewhere temprarily in ubuntu [11:04] usr13: I just upgraded [11:05] killer no, it's a video stream [11:05] xeberdee_: So you did that, and no errors? [11:05] usr13: no [11:05] xeberdee_: There were errors? [11:05] cfhowlett: you think I need a dist-upgrade? might solve it [11:05] cfhowlett: worth a try I suppose :) [11:06] enbergj I'm quite clueless on this one. Only thing I can think of now is debugging and tracing startup scripts. But other init scripts create pid files, so why not this one? [11:06] yeah, it seems quite weird to me too [11:06] xeberdee_, dist-upgrade will bring the CURRENT version up to the latest packages. it will NOT bring you an updated version [11:06] How i test if my driver are installed Video drivers? [11:06] I'm now trying to strace the script [11:06] usr13: sorry - no there were no errors. [11:06] ok [11:07] enbergj: is there --make-pidfile parameter on the start-stop-daemon command line? [11:07] no [11:07] just --pidfile [11:07] you think I should touch it? [11:08] yes, touch the pid file and assign correct user [11:08] basically the app creates it[s own pidfile OR start-stop-daemon creates it. If the app does it, it should have the file there with Debian-exim permissions. If you want start-stop-daemon to do it, add --make-pidfile to it and check if that works. [11:08] touch, chown, force-stop, start, the pidfile remains empty [11:09] try --make-pidfile in startup script [11:09] usr13: I'm confused as to how unity uses xorg.conf. If I do an auto config to generate xorg.conf then it tells me that API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 304.88, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 173.14.35 [11:09] well the startup script isn't calling start-stop-daemon, it's calling start_daemon from /lib/lsb/init-functions, which doesn't include that and I sure don't want to touch that file [11:09] xeberdee_: pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg #And send us resulting URL [11:10] ^When I startx [11:10] xeberdee_: You more-than-likely have wrong nvidia driver [11:10] you should be able to give start_damon the -m parameter [11:10] usr13: How do I change in terminal? [11:11] xeberdee_: uninstall it. [11:11] usr13: I believe I used the binary when the sys was working, and chanded to the open source unix driver in unity [11:12] usr13: that's remove nvidia_current right? which would be sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current [11:13] xeberdee_: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia*list |pastebinit #Show us resulting URL [11:13] 8 [11:13] xeberdee_: Show us what you have installed. === asdasdasdas is now known as dnaranjo [11:14] xeberdee_: Or tell us [11:15] usr13: there's a list here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6519169/ === internero__ is now known as internero [11:15] Hello I am trying to remap the section key uing xmodmap [11:16] xeberdee_: You have more than one. [11:16] iptable: if I try to add -m it gives me "illegal option", if I try to add -oP "$PIDFILE" so it goes to exim, nothing happens [11:16] I have tried xmodmap -e "keycode 39 = F12 F12" [11:16] xeberdee_: sudo apt-get remove nvidia* #Just get rid of all nvidia packages [11:17] But the only thing that does i disable both my section and my s key [11:17] enbergj: I'm quite clueless now I'm afraid. I got a ext3 partition fail here with a lot of data, need some time to recover that [11:17] sure === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [11:18] xeberdee_: And then, if you want to install an Nvidia driver, go to nvidia.com and download the *correct* one and install it manually. [11:18] Hey , anyone using downloadthem all in firefox [11:18] usr13: looks like 264m and ubuntu desktop is getting removed also... [11:18] iptable: i just need the cheapest and the lowes consuming video card to have a dual monitor setup [11:19] xeberdee_: I doubt it. [11:19] when I copy stuff from the net, can I do that without copying the formatting too? [11:19] VlanX: I got nvidia on one laptop and intel on the other, both work well [11:19] it even grabs some HTML code and injects it to wherever I paste it [11:19] systemfish, "stuff" ? [11:19] pasting my logs just in case http://pastebin.com/g21HQyWr [11:20] usr13: That might be good :) So - I should also be able to run unity desktop but without nvidia or what you think?" [11:20] cfhowlett: text [11:22] systemfish: so what, you browse with a browser (which one?) to a random web page, select some text, copy, open a text editor and paste, and you end up with HTML mixed with your text? [11:22] I'm trying to install gnaural with this link http://www.getdeb.net/install/gnaural [11:22] xeberdee_: Yes, try it and see. [11:22] let us know. [11:22] it opens a "choose application" window. What app do I need to use to install it? [11:23] usr13: hey man thanks for helping me. I'll rebbot [11:23] xeberdee_: Come back and let us know. [11:23] usr13: sure === P4tt3rn_ is now known as P4tt3rn [11:24] hello [11:24] usr13, resolved the problem :) all done [11:24] Anuska: Hello? === dean|away is now known as dean [11:24] good. [11:24] Anuska: How did it go? (What did you end up with?) [11:24] i configured using network [11:25] Anuska: Using what? [11:25] enbergj: paste it into a WYSIWYG html editor, and copies it from a page with FF [11:25] not manual becouse have a stupid stuff with p-to-p on ppp0 and i need to change all [11:25] Anuska: network-manager ? [11:25] using the network program [11:25] yes [11:25] Anuska: Ok good. [11:25] can you pm someting? [11:26] systemfish: and you want to paste it without the styles? .. the easiest way is to copy it first to a plain text editor, then copy from there to your wysiwyg html editor .. or find the correct "paste without formatting" link/key combo from your editor [11:26] Anuska: Yes [11:26] can i restate m issue or will it just be annoying? [11:26] enbergj: I copy a lot, that's why I need the quicker way. I'll look for that combo, thanks [11:26] glasz_, restate every 10 minutes or so is OK [11:27] i have blank screen at startup, same with live cd but it works if i set nomodeset, so i added nomodeset to grub but the installed version still freezes . I'm wondering if it is nvidia related : last line of xorg log : [ 20.882] (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling 2D acceleration [11:27] systemfish: most common key combo for that that I've seen is ctrl+shift+v [11:28] or ctrl+v [11:29] no, ctrl+v is just paste, paste without formatting is really never ctrl+v [11:30] i stand corrected, thanks :) [11:30] thanks :) [11:31] virtualbox? [11:31] !virtualbox [11:31] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [11:31] usr13: I really hop you have a great day! Thanks, I'm finally in unity again - working on the nvidia driver. [11:32] !nomodeset | glasz_ [11:32] glasz_: 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 [11:32] xeberdee: Follow instructions, (you have to turn off the GUI to install it. [11:32] usr13, yes i set the nomodeset option in grub, but it still freezes [11:33] i read this page allready [11:34] xeberdee: And to trun of the X server in Ubuntu you have to do "service lightdm stop" I think.... [11:34] xeberdee: That is key. You have to turn off X to install Nvidia driver manuallly. [11:34] usr13: BTW my card is getting quite old now, would you suggest the unix driver or the open source? [11:35] xeberdee: That is up to you. Depends on what you want to do with your computer. The Nvidia driver should work ok if you get the right one installed. [11:36] xeberdee: I don't use Unity, I use xfce so... [11:37] usr13: cos it's more lightweight or what is the advantage? [11:37] xeberdee: Functionallity suits my needs, and yes, it is more efficient. [11:38] Is it possible to have an if/then with user input in a script? [11:39] *Functionality* (spelling error corrected) [11:40] (This proves I am human) It is nap time. bye [11:40] !es [11:40] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[11:42] arun; can't you just re-install iit? [11:44] the channel is a bit sleepy, I must have got on here too early! :) [11:45] who [11:46] my installed ubuntu still freezes at startup, even though i added the nomodeset option to grub (live cd works with nomodeset) [11:47] love ubuntu [11:47] is fast [11:47] glasz; have you tested your RAM? [11:48] Rexter, no [11:49] quit [11:49] glasz; might be a good place to start. Next the hard drive, just to rule them out. They might just be the problem. [11:49] hello [11:50] Rexter, ok thanks [11:50] my ubuntu 13.10 doesn't seem to be playing music, any of the media players I used, doesn't play music including vlc and rythmbox. no error to show as well [11:51] wasanzy; when you say it won't play music, do you mean you just can't hear it? [11:52] Is not playing at all [11:52] when I click play nothing happens, I tried different music format and players [11:52] mp3 or wav files ? [11:52] Hi everyone! I have a Q: I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 at the moment and I have set up two users with admin rights (sudoers and all). My actual question is whether system updates (through the Update Manager app) should be made by just ONE of those users? Or is it OK if these updates are performed by any of the 2 users - it shouldn't mess the system up if the first time 1 user does the update, the next time the second user does the update, the third time, again [11:52] the first user does the update, and so on? [11:53] wasanzy, mp3 files or another format ? [11:53] LRRL, should work with all users as it is a system update you are making not a user profile update. [11:54] wasanzy:whats the error you getting? [11:54] LRRL: yes. [11:54] impradeepy: am getting no error [11:54] LRRL; even though you are doing it from a different user, the update is actually being run by the superuser. You're fine. [11:54] and the OS keep crashing too [11:55] roflmao , let me guess without any error as well ?? [11:55] Rexter: LRRL: yes. [11:55] players stopped immediatly? [11:58] ah, I see! yeah.. that kind of makes sense! :) thanks Rexter , madmouser1 , lili_ ! :D I just wanted to make sure, not to mess up everything I did! Thanks again! [11:58] wasanzy; you are using terms that have no meaning, "won't play," and "system crashes," don't actually mean anything. Explain the symptom, and the circumstances, rather than conclusions, will yield biter responses. [11:59] better, responses, maybe a little biter. ;) [11:59] LRRL: Have a good night. [12:00] Which ports need to be open on the server running a NFS Server? [12:00] LRRL, apt is the key concept. /etc/apt/ sources will keep track of where to get updates and the update management function of what is installed already [12:00] lili_, thanks :D it's midday here, at the moment :) [12:01] I want to download a directory and its contents from an ftp server using wget. Downloading the whole ftp server content recursively is easy, but how do I specify the entry level? [12:02] jost, by specifying the entry path in the wget URL? [12:03] kimphill_: thanks - I've been searching for an option for about 15 minutes now :-) [12:03] Eagleman ; http://bit.ly/1dPvdQ8 [12:04] I see.... But, let's go a little deeper into the subject! It's just a scenario, but let's assume the second user was a standard user (no rights to use sudo). The standard user checks for updates, the updates are displayed and I come and enter the Admin password (with rights to use sudo), while the standard user is logged in (not the Admin). Would that mess up anything? [12:04] Is everybody known how search channel list In rissi? [12:05] Is anyone here good with shell scripts? [12:05] Rexter: What do you want to know? [12:05] Rexter: I'm not sure i good with is. [12:06] lili_: try asking in #irssi or try www.google.com [12:06] Rory: Thanks. [12:06] gvf [12:06] Rory; lili_; is it possible to have an if/then with user input in a bash script? [12:07] Rexter: as in, read a variable, and do something based on the value of that variable? [12:07] Rexter: I think this sort of question is better for #bash as this is the Ubuntu support channel [12:08] Rory, yes and the variable value comes from user input. I'll check out #bash. [12:10] Rexter: read Virable, [12:11] can any one tell how to run phyon program in ubuntu [12:11] phyon? [12:11] yes [12:11] !phyon [12:12] I type the "/list -type" cmd, all list have been shows.

Well, maybe partly [12:19] Rexter: the level of channel activity does not make offtopic things on topic here [12:19] can any one tell how to run python program in ubuntu?? [12:19] spidergl: python foo.py [12:19] thanks [12:20] Rory, Ben64; some times the technical expertise is not as important as the community you enjoy interacting with.

I have the line "Files: extracted/foo /usr/bin/" in my equivs file, but the file ends up as "/usr/bin/extracted/foo". Can I make it so it ends up as "/usr/bin/foo" instead, without moving the file out of the extracted tarball? [12:52] is there an alternative to KOpen, thats provides thumbnais, like nautilus...?

[13:50] i don't know really..but i would like to set up my own local database of these links searches, so at next round they don;t show up in the serach [13:50] i'd rather use Ubuntu apps, than google's [13:50] BKK_Dude, so really you want to set up "google alerts" without using google alerts? [13:50] is google alerts the only way ? [13:50] exit [13:50] if so, then fine [13:51] BKK_Dude, certainly not the ONLY way, just the most familiar to many.

[14:08] !notunity | anton02 [14:08] anton02: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [14:09] k1l_: do you like unity?

[14:12] PROMO [14:12] are not spyware [14:12] anton02: actually its scopes. but that is getting offtopic [14:13] Do you guys know about ubuntu bug related with "/tmp is not ready yet or not present". A system script with a bug... [14:13] k1l_: its not spyware :) [14:13] I'm amazed that so many are butthurt over amazon ads but are so "meh" over Prism. We're ALL monitored ALL the time.

[14:38] philinux, not recommended. extra artifacts might confuse things. why wouldn't you format? [14:38] philinux: do you have / partition, then install the OS to that , then your /home won't need formatting [14:38] hylian, it's an old asus notebook m6800n and i could not find a manual for changing the battery [14:38] cfhowlett: the files will be overwritten with the new, can cause issues but largely its ok [14:39] ActionParsnip;~ so it's ok then [14:39] hi, I get severe graphical artifacts. It behaves as if it's a graphic card problem. The computer freezes. It either comes soon after a reboot, or not at all it seems. Is this problem known? Is it a new bug or is my hardware getting old? [14:40] Hi, a friend and I have been working on a very weird issue with his laptop, he switched from windows to ubuntu two days ago but can't seem to get any decent bass from his jack output, but he used to be able to when he was running windows [14:40] The laptop is a Sony Vaio Z VPC-Z2-290X, with the Realtek ALC275 according to codec#0, we've tried multiple tricks in pulseaudio and playing with pulse-eq, but pulse's sound always seemed to be trebled already, in Alsamixer I wasn't able to find anything to tweak either [14:40] The strangest thing is, my laptop is very similar to his (ALC275 as well) and I have perfect bass. Any pointers to what to do, test or try would be extremely helpful? [14:41] <[twisti]> my wildfly service isnt started, my rc3.d looks like this: http://paste.ofcode.org/KcrLqM5DPpUKqXPcft3yve [14:41] <[twisti]> i noticed that wildfly has a different way to reference to it, may that be the issue ?

[14:42] How does one track down issues with external monitors and video driver stuff? any good resources out there? or suggestions? [14:42] Hey there. I want to install windows and ubuntu in a dual-boot and the ubuntu should be encrypted. While trying to create a lvm in the enrcypted partition i'm getting the following error: "Error: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Device or resource busy" [14:42] philinux: I wouldnt suggest it personally [14:42] can anybody help me with that? [14:42] hey guys, I want to install a new linux distro, but not sure how to do this from an existing one, I mean I have like three OS on my drive, I deleted one, and now I want to replace that with the new one, how can I do this again?? [14:42] i saw a general solution for the problem, but not when installing ubuntu [14:43] systemfish check the temperature, usually an overheat issue. During boot, quite a lot of CPU is used and if your cooling is failing, this could be the case. dmesg should tell you, or otherwise run sensors [14:43] MCHammer: did you hibernate the PC before trying to install Ubuntu? [14:43] ActionParsnip: I will [14:43] MCHammer: or anything like that which would affect the disk [14:43] ActionParsnip;~ ok . Where is this "preserve home" option then === nickoe_ is now known as nickoe [14:43] iptable: do you know whether I should fear a complete hardware crash? [14:43] no [14:43] TauNeutrino : sudo gparted ? place cd in drive and install to partition? [14:44] new hdd, installed windows, shut windows down, started ubuntu installtion [14:44] philinux: i dont think that is an option, you wil need to remove the other folders manually, or if you have a separate /home partition then set the /home to mount and NOT to be formatted [14:44] MCHammer: did you leave unpartitioned space on the drive for Ubuntu to install to? [14:44] systemfish: couldn't say, although ActionParsnip's suggestion also stands (memtest). Otherwise, monitor temperature in terminal (watch sensors) and run a performance test tool to max you CPU out and see if it overheats. [14:45] o.O [14:45] k thanks iptable [14:45] systemfish: be very careful... melted motherboards and/or burnt cpu will ruin your day [14:46] ubuntu doesnt like my new laptop... [14:46] chibois: in what way? [14:46] yes, if your CPU temp is reaching critical, do STOP the test. you know where the problem is now. [14:46] ActionParsnip: ye, i left about 288gb free [14:46] why would things suddenly fail now? [14:47] first off its a HP Pavilion Touchsmart 11-e015dx with AMD Radeon HD 8250 [14:47] chibois: did you install the proprietary video driver? [14:47] systemfish: on my old laptop it just started one day to overheat a lot. The fan would still turn, everything was still fine, except it was overheating. No idea why, I finally got rid of it as it was old. [14:47] trying to boot into ubuntu live offa my flash drive [14:47] chibois: which release did you instal? [14:47] havent installed yet [14:48] systemfish, Either cracked hitsink or the thermal paste dried out or the fan would not turn fast enough. Can't guess. [14:48] i wanted to boot off the chip so i can shrink windows with gparted before installing [14:48] aka would still like the option to play the sims and skyrim... [14:48] chibois;~ better to use windows to shrink it's partition [14:48] systemfish: but yeah, first memtest, then sensors with a performance test of HDD, CPU and GPU while keeping a hand of cancel. temp can just up within seconds. DO backup your data beforehand though. [14:49] mchaammer:what is your file system? [14:49] no idea how to do that, last i checked windows cant shrink a partition its currently using [14:49] chibois;~ I did exactly that with win 7 [14:49] impradeepy: default one (ext4) [14:49] chibois: what version of Windows are you using? [14:50] it came with 8 [14:50] anybody running gnome3? [14:50] chibois: gparted in ubuntu will shrink your partition. DO backup your data beforehand, if it fails, you lost everything. [14:50] chibois: I recommend you resize the NTFS in Windows. As you are using Windows8 you cannot use Wubi [14:50] havent booted it yet, figured it would be happier if it was shrunk before it did its initialization [14:50] !anyone | WeThePeople [14:50] WeThePeople: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

Looking for a kvm management solution that is simple, but yet stable/powerful enough to be a good alternative for someone coming from hyper-v [15:05] NeoID, webbased?

[15:05] kongthap: 13.04 is EOL mid next month, may want to upgrade soon :) [15:05] is there virt-manager for windows? [15:05] ActionParsnip, where can i get unity tweak tool, from the ubuntu store??? [15:06] kongthap;~ if you have not rebooted or logged out since you reset unity type in a terminal setsid unity [15:06] jabba_: you can manage virtualbox via web interface [15:06] which means I pretty much have to install the dependencies manually and in order. [15:06] jabba_, I doubt that, at least can't I find any remote management tools for windows.. but a good webui would be as good [15:06] ActionParsnip, the reason i use 13.04 because i used to upgrade to 13.10, everything [15:06] virtualbox? [15:06] kongthap: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-unity-tweak-tool-in-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail.html [15:06] thought we are speaking about kvm [15:06] ActionParsnip, everything got messed, i even cannot shutdown [15:06] kongthap: took me 3 seconds to find that guide.....

In windows, I can compile in two mode: debug and release. in linux, what "mode" (if there's one) is the default one? and how can I change it? googling about "compile release build linux" only shows about how to compile linux kernel :p [16:23] i think in linux there's stable and devel [16:23] Yo's [16:23] generally stable means safe and proven [16:23] bowie: g++ and gcc compile "release" as default. If you want the compilation to be optimized (if you know what that is), you add -O -O1 -O2 and -O3 for different kind of optimization [16:24] ok I was thinking differently [16:24] bowie: if you want debugging information ("debug mode" visual studio), you have to add the flag -dbg [16:25] hmm so it defaults to "release" but does it mean I cannot debug it? (since in release mode all debug symbols are purged?) [16:25] ninja'd by systemfish :p [16:25] ITALIANI? === leon is now known as Guest80051 [16:25] !it | Guest80051 [16:26] Guest80051: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

I typed g++ mysource.cpp -dbg and it showed some error [16:28] seems like -dbg is invalid g++ parameter [16:29] bowie, use -g to keep debug symbols and -Wall for warnings [16:30] bowie: Yes: "hmm so it defaults to "release" but does it mean I cannot debug it? (since in release mode all debug symbols are purged?)" ... so you must pass the debug parameter. it's -g not -dbg as knightshade said [16:30] sweeet [16:30] works like a charm. thanks, dudes!! [16:33] thank Rory, he's a cake with ducks and tennis balls [16:34] my cursor freezes constantly on Ubuntu 13.04. Is this a known issue?

[16:43] I want to use 1 graphic hard to my displays and 1 card for OpenCL [16:44] are you running both cards? [16:44] Lighin: yes, its possible. You may need an xorg.conf file to define the dispays.

[16:50] Anuska: Your system has to support virtualizaton (Intel-VT or AMD-V). Your BIOS will show wether it does or not, and if it's enabled. [16:50] Lighin: ive never seen from 2 vendors, people usually keep to the same manufacturer [16:51] BrianH, thanks [16:51] Ya I agree... (I would of picked only 1 vender) But I got this graphics card for free [16:51] and I want to use it [16:51] Lighin: I'm not very versed with the topic, just never knew of anyone who's done it before. [16:52] Lighin: It's probably because of the dependency resolution with apt. [16:52] I think people have done it...but very few [16:52] I've been googling for about 2 days now [16:52] lol [16:53] Lighin: you can manually install the ATI driver, wont use thepackage system then, should be ok [16:53] Lighin: Similar to switching window managers, apt will delete the old and install the new. Maybe you can manually install it. [16:53] Lighin: spatry has a how to guide on youtube on this [16:53] made a partition for "/" typing 10240mb in the size field but windows displays only 14.3gb why?

[16:59] Lighin: Apparently both of the proprietary drivers try to install their own version of libGL, so it seems not possible to use both at once. [16:59] vmware workstation is not syncing the clipboard between Ubuntu 13.04 host and 13.11 guest as it should. [16:59] genii: thanks for looking that up [16:59] SuperLag: and is all that Trusty stff at the bottom related? [16:59] too bad they can't install that library in different places [17:00] and use it separately [17:00] ActionParsnip: but i input the size by calculating like 15*1024=15360mb while making the partition [17:00] Lighin: No problem. At least now you know why it behaves like this. [17:00] damn it.. I accidently typed sudo apt-get install * .. it's downloading and installing A LOT of stuff right now.. what do I do? CTRL+C ?? [17:00] ActionParsnip: I have Trusty in VMs, but this is happening on the host, which is Saucy. [17:00] systemfish: Yes. [17:01] ActionParsnip: Trusty runs in VMware Workstation VMs, and that's it [17:01] can I reverse whatever it is that I juts did? I have no idea what it installed. What's XFree-* ? [17:01] BrianH, i alocate 3,5gb on virtualbox and work if is more 3,5 not work [17:04] Anuska: Please define "not work". === dziegler- is now known as dziegler_off [17:05] genii: is it possible to install that libGL in different locations? [17:05] I just did a clean install of 13.10, the dual monitors work perfectly fine ( even on the login screen ) but once I log in, the screen is garbled. If I boot with only one monitor plugged in, however, and then plug in the 2nd after booting, it's fine. Any thoughts? [17:05] ActionParsnip: now where should i create a new partition for windows? windows or ubuntu? [17:06] bekks, if the allocated ram is more then 3,5 give this: VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX) , if is 3,5 or less work fine.. [17:06] Lighin: The problem is that, being proprietary drivers, it is problemmatic to tell the driver to look in an alternate location other than the default for the file.

[19:35] turns out I had X version of the kernel installed and the driver setup was compiling the module against Y kernel version headers [19:35] zteam: possibly yeah [19:36] it was running the installer, modifying the xorg conf, I'd reboot, x server never started because the modules were borked [19:36] output just said "lolsegfaultlol" [19:36] llutz: You're right, that does contain rules with my (presumably old) mac address. How do I rewrite them? [19:37] nickjohnson: just remove the file and reboot in normal mode, it will be created again [19:37] llutz: thanks [19:37] nickjohnson: or change the old mac into the new one and remove the eth1 part [19:38] Nach0z, okey, so how do I know if I had the correct kernel module? [19:39] well, the installer I was using was compiling. I just had to update the kernel and then update the kernel header files I had installed so that they matched before running the installer [19:40] llutz: That worked perfectly. Thanks! [19:40] That's a nasty gotcha for anyone changing hardware, though [19:40] nickjohnson: yep, known problem since udev came in [19:42] llutz: I presume the purpose of that is to ensure that network interfaces get the same name each boot? [19:42] Nach0z, well, I reinstalled my drivers then my system was updated, a couple of times, I even tried a ppa with fresher drivers, but that didn't help me either [19:42] nickjohnson: i guess so, yes [19:42] Well, thanks again. You saved me a lot of futzing around failing to achieve anything. [19:43] Nach0z, I can't stand these issues :-/ [19:43] nickjohnson: glad to help [19:43] zteam: Maybe it's not the drivers. [19:44] jhutchins, I don't know what else it can be, not that I can change anyway.... :-/ [19:44] PPA is a repository for softwares not uncluded in the official ubuntu software center,so does launchpad act as a browser of it? [19:48] zteam: usually PPAs and stuff have precompiled binaries and stuff. [19:48] with things like graphics drivers it's often best to just download the source (if you can) and just compile/install yourself [19:49] thats wrong for most drivers. [19:49] for most drivers, yes. for graphics drivers, it's the only way I've ever gotten them to work on Linux [19:49] probably has something to do with the fact that I'm on a laptop and it's gotta do the weird hybrid graphics crap with the intel and the amd and blargh [19:50] thats the reason. but not a reason for a general recommendation. [19:51] depends on how much of a gentoo user type person you are. if you want to make dang sure that something's going to work with your installed versions of X Y and Z, it's often best to just compile it yourself. [19:51] ambiguity = gone [19:51] how do I connect from one ubuntu box to another one that requires a keypair.. like if I copy the keypair into my home dir how do I tell it to use it? [19:51] Nach0z, Yeah I know, but I think it is compiling some DKMS-module [19:51] Well, I am using gentoo (on another box) for alnost ten years. thast why I would not recommend the same approach when using ubuntu [19:52] bekks: well, that's your recommendation. it just happens to be the opposite of mine. both are based on personal experience. [19:52] If I can't solve this issues, I guess I have to change to another distro :-/ [19:52] ixio2, ssh -i user@hostname [19:53] chris___0076 thanks, can the prvt file be a ppk or has to be pem ? [19:53] Nach0z: did you read this already?: [19:53] !nvidia | Nach0z [19:53] Nach0z: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [19:54] that was the first thing I tried during the installation process [19:54] ixio2, ppk and pem files are typiclay used by putty. ssh on unix usally generates a key pair in ~/.ssh [19:54] zteam: do you know what kernel you're using, and what version your kernel headers are? [19:55] chris___0076: I have a pem and ppk file issued to me and I am trying to scp a file to the remote box [19:55] ixio2, that is a hidden directory in your home folder. public key would be ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and private ~/.ss/id_rsa [19:56] dont see either of those on the remote box [19:56] its an EC2 instance [19:56] I see authorized_keys [19:56] ixio2, looks like putty is in the repositories: this link should help http://askubuntu.com/questions/284276/how-can-connect-server-using-ppk-key-file [19:56] Nach0z, uname -a [19:56] Linux steelhead 3.11.0-14-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 17:04:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [19:58] Nachoz, but there is a newer kernel and header avialable within software-updates [19:59] Hi all - which nvidia driver has least problems? I seem to have no end of problems installing and need something that's easy. [20:00] !nvidia | nvid [20:00] nvid: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [20:01] bekks: thanks I'll chjeck it. I was hoping to hear if there was a preferred driver [20:02] how can i resize icon size on the desktop and nautilus using terminal??? [20:02] zteam: do you have linux-headers-3.11.0-14 and/or linux-headers-3.11.0-14-generic installed? [20:02] if you don't, try installing those, removing your graphics driver, and reinstalling it. [20:02] hey guys, I can't use unetbootin to create a bootable usb stick with an iso, when I want to access the usb stick I get like this error message :http://pastebin.com/kmapuim0 [20:02] hopefully that'll let it compile the dkms module correctly [20:02] also, g2g. [20:03] I have a desktop with an AMD video card, using their drivers the 2 monitors I have plugged in are working 95%, just need to fix ovescan on one of them, I am now trying to enable a 3rd monitor that is using the onboard video. I verified the BIOS settings and made sure all 3 work under windows. How do I enable the 3rd monitor that is using the onboard video card? [20:03] TauNeutrino: I use the Startup Disk Creator, download image and press enter. [20:04] pls read again what I wrote [20:04] rzpe young [20:04] Nach0z, yes I have both of them installed [20:04] I have 13.10 on a ThinkPad 520 and it works fine if I use optimus or intel graphics but when I try to force discreet graphics the system refuses to boot [20:04] I tried installing nVidia drivers and all that and it doesn't work [20:04] hey [20:05] Nach0z, But there is updates avaialable to them [20:06] use apt-get install [20:06] Nach0z, but I don't think thats gonna help me :-/ [20:06] swanss: I feel for ya.. Nvidia is a real pain on linux. Graphics in general. [20:06] do u running ubuntu or backtrack? [20:06] nvid: If I could get any distro other than gentoo to boot up with discreet graphics only it wouldn't be a problem [20:07] But none of them want to boot when it's setup like that [20:07] I've been trying to get some kind of solution of showing my desktop on my monitor when it's docked [20:07] and then back on my lapotp when it's not [20:07] swanss: why you think gentoo can do it? [20:07] nvid: I know it can [20:08] I was using it for months [20:08] swanss: I know but why? [20:08] I'm assuming it has something to do with some configuration setup that most distros are using [20:08] As opposed to Gentoo where you do all that yourself [20:09] I wouldn't even have the slightest idea where to look on a fully done distro like ubuntu or fedora though === james_ is now known as Guest91672 [20:10] swanss: I went from gentoo to ubuntu, but then unity seems to make gnome complicated with ccsm and the config [20:11] swanss: so I was considering going back - bit of work in that tho. Anyway good liuck [20:12] Nachoz, I did this updates anyway, gonna reboot this computer now, thanks for your help buddy :-) [20:12] thanks [20:12] You too [20:13] Hello, I have a problem with the screen brightness. The animation is shown onscreen but it's not been changed at all. [20:13] how can i resize icon size on the desktop and nautilus using terminal??? [20:13] where can I find assistance using raid as a root filesystem? [20:14] odium: in here [20:14] well, I've been struggling using a raid0 ssd [20:14] odium: Thats not bootable. [20:14] odium: you need a seperate /boot for that. [20:14] the filesystem is fine and grub finds the kernel which loads fine [20:15] but it panics when locating the root filesystem [20:15] so, bekks, if I have 4 55Gb disks. [20:15] odium: that happens when you arent using a dedicated /boot [20:15] odium: so you are trying to use a 4-disk raid0? [20:16] yah [20:16] and any other configuration makes me split the disk up [20:16] but I want /boot to be on the ssd [20:17] odium: yeah, then use a 4-disk 256M raid1 for /boot [20:18] If using a laptop, can you set Ubuntu to only charge the battery up to 50% and then stop charging? The model I have is Thinkpad T61. [20:20] bekks, thank you, I'll try that but I think the configuration limits me to use 2 disks for raid 1 [20:20] matt021 according this answer, charging can be 1 or 0 > http://askubuntu.com/questions/170531/how-can-i-get-notification-when-my-laptop-battery-gets-fully-charged [20:20] then my remaining options are 2 102GB raid0s [20:20] hi [20:20] odium: there are no such limits. [20:20] is there an option to use the whole disk as raid1? [20:20] i have a problem with temp [20:21] who can help me? [20:22] aminamin: better to state your issue now [20:23] matt021, maybe this answer can help getting percentage > http://askubuntu.com/questions/69556/how-to-check-battery-status-using-terminal === Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much === max is now known as Guest48214 === swaagie[bbl] is now known as swaagie [20:24] matt021, you can somehowe combine those 2, but if you stop charging @ 50% , the batttery jumps in and charging will continue in seconds [20:25] OerHeks: Thanks, but I don't know how to do that, though. [20:29] But I don't even know if that is possible with other operating systems. [20:30] Or whether the battery operates separately from the laptop. [20:30] I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 and Samba is partially broken. I no longer see my smb shares through files manager. Some of the windows programs have a browse that connects me, so I know the shares are there. [20:31] I used webmin to create the shares. [20:31] oh my god. [20:31] !webmin | ajaxmike [20:31] ajaxmike: 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. [20:32] I didn't know that. [20:32] used it for years [20:33] I had to to create the shares because system-config-samba doesn't work in my xfce [20:34] ajaxmike: webminis know to break systems, and not supported. [20:35] You BITCHES I'M IN THE AREA, SNOOOOOOOP D-O-G-G [20:35] HI [20:35] anyone know how to fix a broken bluetooth stack? won't startup. used to work fine. [20:35] I need help [20:35] another signal hill gangster heard from === undefined is now known as Guest42658 [20:36] wat guest. [20:36] eh. [20:36] I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and im having trouble with flash [20:36] Each time i load a swf via mozzila, it wont load. [20:36] Guest42658: 10.04 as desktop isnt supported anymore, since April. [20:36] Someone help? [20:36] 10.04 | Guest42658 [20:36] Bekks, i know but i use a old pc. [20:36] Guest42658: That doesnt make it supported. [20:37] It doesnt support unity for new version. [20:37] Intel pentuim 3 [20:37] Guest42658, doesn't matter. [20:37] Guest42658: you could use alternative desktop environments, like xfce or lxde. [20:37] Guest42658, Do you think it would matter if you were running it on a potato? [20:37] ._. [20:38] Nevermind, ill post this on the ubuntu forums if you dont post any helpfull explenation. [20:38] I love xfce [20:38] Guest42658, With 10.04 you do not have access to the latest ubuntu repos. [20:38] Guest42658: you need to upgrade. Install xfce. [20:41] Be sure that processor has pae, otherwise Ubuntu won't boot [20:41] so, do I uninstall samba created with webmin and reinstall samba via synaptic? [20:43] Hello all! I am sick of typing sudo before every command. What can I do? [20:44] open your terminal as root and take your chances [20:44] ajaxmike: if I understand webmin, I think it uses the same repos as synaptic. If so your solution will install the same version of samba unless you edit sources.lst [20:45] gvo: you understand it wrong. webmin breaks config files. [20:45] ObrienDave: Is that it? [20:45] hmmm. so if synaptic is as bad as webmin, why is it included in the repo? [20:45] bekks: Haven't used webmin in a while, have you? [20:46] mm. dist upgraded and dashboard is gone again. Last time I went through a real pain to get it back by using unity --reset, but it's deprecated - what to do? [20:46] gvo: No. It was broken years ago, and that never changed. [20:46] ajaxmike: It's not bad, it's just that the both use the same files to list repos [20:46] madabyss, or use the history to find old commands and edit as needed [20:46] Has anyone in here created an save-able PDF using libreoffice? [20:46] yes [20:46] i do it all the time === AEM` is now known as aem` [20:47] ObrienDave: Can you please help me create one that you can actually save into? I haven't had any luck so far. [20:47] gvo: Oh, wemin just breaks the config files. If I uninstall and reinstall, I will have fresh config files? [20:47] bekks: Do you have an example of a broken config file? I know the Ubuntu party line says webmin is bad. But I use it on a regular basis and have never had a problem with it. [20:48] ajaxmike: I think you may have to purge to get ride of config files. [20:48] gvo: samba, nfs, hosts, cups, etc. [20:48] ner0x, get the multisave extension. works good [20:48] rid [20:48] gvo: Thats wrong. that will purge webmin, but not the broken configs of other services. [20:49] gvo: And basically, webmin isnt supported in here. [20:49] bekks: I thought he was wanting to fix samba. [20:49] gvo: Then he should get rid webmin first. :) [20:49] bekks: OK [20:50] I have other issues too. Menu items in xfce don't work [20:50] Hi, I just installed updates in 13.10, and kernel 3.11.0-14-generic boots into low resolution, upon sign-in I get a black screen. When I boot with 3.11.0-13-generic all is fine. How can I resolve whatever happened? [20:50] ObrienDave: Multisave you say. I'll check it out. === HeathHayle is now known as iH8ra1n [20:51] If you take out webmin, be sure you adjust the sources.lst file too. === iH8ra1n is now known as Guest26694 [20:51] ok [20:51] It probably includes some webmin specific repos [20:51] AaronMT, Did you install a graphic driver and if so from where? [20:52] Not as part of the updates I just installed I don't believe [20:52] bekks/gvo: remove webmin and associated entries in sources.lst. How do I get the system back to kosher? [20:53] ajaxmike: Restore backup or reinstall. [20:53] AaronMT, Take a look in additional drivers last tab by running. software-properties-gtk [20:53] reinstal might be easiest [20:53] yes === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY [20:54] Howdy [20:54] Beldar: in 0-14 recovery mode? [20:54] ObrienDave: Would you mind providing a link? I'm getting quite a few hits. === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [20:54] I agree, reinstall may be give you fewer headaches. [20:54] hi, I just did a series of dist-upgrades from 12.04 up to 13.10 (breaking my gfx driver in 12.10)... now in 13.10 I think the drivers better (lightdm actually notices there are 2 different screens) but when I lok in it fails and puts me back in lightdm [20:54] **log in [20:55] any advice? [20:56] I'm seeing 404 for a bunch of security pkg lists in apt, is there a good way to troubleshoot this? [20:56] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7795368 === VlanX is now known as VlanY [20:56] ObrienDave: Are the pdf forms you create able to be saved in-line? [20:56] AaronMT, That command brings up the software sources, boot with nomodeset if you have to to the desktop using that new kernel [20:56] wait, why are all the broken ones marked Ign? [20:56] !nomodeset | AaronMT [20:56] AaronMT: 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 [20:57] ner0x, http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/multisave-1 [20:57] ObrienDave: I have that, it doesn't ensure the pdf forms are able to be saved inline? [20:58] not sure about forms, just saves multi format files, one of which is PDF [20:58] I'm having a weird permission denied problem with running a shell script, even odder is that if I try to sudo it, I get the same permission denied error. http://isolating.me/i/SS-12042013-1142.png [20:59] ObrienDave: LibreOffice can save pdf by default. You didn't actually read my question did you? lol === HeathHayle is now known as minetape [21:00] anyone with a suggestion possibly? [21:00] Beldar: didn't do anything [21:00] your original question, yes Has anyone in here created an save-able PDF using libreoffice? === minetape is now known as Guest41516 === Guest41516 is now known as heathhayle [21:01] AaronMT, What did not do any thing? === heathhayle is now known as HeathisFunny [21:02] ObrienDave: Save-able pdf as in a form that can be saved inline. I would have said "Can someone show me how to export to pdf?" [21:02] adding nomodeset and booting into the newer kernel with it [21:02] ObrienDave: None-the-less you did try helping. :) [21:02] Hi again [21:02] Unity Dashboard gone. When I upgraded nvidia dashboard dissappeared, I fixed it by unity --reset which broke a lot of stuff as well. Now I dist upgraded, and dash is gone again but unity --reset is deprected. Is there a way to start unity dash from terminal? [21:02] still presented with a low-resolution sign-in and upon sign-in, black screen [21:02] not always correct, but always try ;) [21:03] AaronMT, You have to give details I gave you a command to run if you get to the desktop, which you have not confrimed whether you can get to at all or not to look at additional drivers. [21:03] Isolol: looks like that script calls starbound_server on line 5, which doesn't have execute permissions .. chmod +x starbound_server will solve that, nothing weird about it :) [21:04] It seems my system hate xbmc now, as soon I play a video with it, the computer locks the screen after 10 minutes and if I try to switch to window mode, unity crashes, any ideas? [21:04] AaronMT, Ah I see now a black screen, it helps to have all the info in a single post if you can, Do you know the graphic hardware, you can run lspci in the working desktop to identify and post this info. [21:05] AaronMT, Did you edit grub to add nomodeset? [21:06] zteam: Try a different viewer. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [21:06] Beldar: no added it to the additonal parameters in grub [21:07] zteam: Look for a setting in xmbc to block the screensaver, or disable your screensaver manually. [21:07] jhutchins, well, the thing is, I have been using XBMC for about 3 months now, and it all worker perfectly , until today [21:08] jhutchins, it is disaebled in the settings [21:08] AaronMT, Can you describe exactly what that means, was it added to /etc/default/grub in the working desktop and sudo update-grub was run? [21:08] zteam: Try a different viedo. [21:08] ER, video [21:09] Beldar: No, I hit 'e' and edited my commands before booting, added nomodeset to the parameter list (e.g, with quiet splash) [21:09] jhutchins, I had this compiz issue for a lot of time, now, but this is the first time I have it, crash, as fast I touch XBMC [21:10] AaronMT, Cool, just making sure we are on the same page, and I understand. We need the graphic hardware info, so you can get it by running lspci in the working desktop, or if you know just post it. [21:11] zteam: Did you recently upgrade to 13.10? [21:12] hi all, ubuntu touch questions here? [21:12] Beldar: the only relevant bits; VGA Compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF110 [GeForce GTX 580] (rev a1) [21:13] !touch | cuco [21:13] cuco: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [21:13] jhutchins, yes, But I had the same issue, with 13.04 as well, [21:14] So I did a clean reinstall of 13.04 and then upgraded it to 13.10 (13.10 was made avaialable a few days later) [21:14] AaronMT, Is this a dual card hybrid graphic hardware? [21:15] hey anyone know where the xfce option for text size is, everything has a default text size of like 4pt unispace atm [21:15] Beldar: It's running in SLI, yes [21:15] AaronMT: No unity after an upgrade with an nvidia card in your system? [21:15] Dashboarder2: I applied some updates all was working fine; now I boot to a low-res sign in screen and black-screen on login === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [21:16] actually I think it's gtk settings [21:16] AaronMT: just had the same problem. My solution was to sudo apt-get remove nvidia* [21:16] and then just reinstall the driver [21:17] any good instructions for reinstalling nvidia drivers and not messing up lightdm [21:17] AaronMT, Cool, my goal here was two things could this be fixed with additional drivers or identifying the hardware. The hybrid is a bit beyond my knowledge so having this info on the channel is important. [21:18] Dashboarder2: interestingly an older kernel boots fine, 13.0-generic and not 14-0 === HeathisFunny is now known as HeathHayle2 [21:19] AaronMT, I'm on 14.04 right now the highest kernel in the repos is 3.12, if you are running anything outside the ubuntu repos it is not supported. [21:19] AaronMT: I justuse the nvidia_current but now I have no dash (again) [21:20] sorry to butt in --- [21:20] er 13.12.0.5 [21:20] Oh well, I have no idea, ill continue to boot from 13.0-generic [21:21] AaronMT, Your original description was kernels through updates, I see you mention a 14, have you tried to add additional kernels not in the repos? === HeathHayle2 is now known as HeathHayle [21:21] hey my QT applications have tiny fonts [21:22] Beldar: no, I do not have additional sources enabled, not backports [21:23] I guess my dpi is too low? [21:23] AaronMT, Cool just trying to understand what is posted. [21:23] tiny font = font DPI is too low compared to screen DPI [21:23] Hello [21:23] hi [21:24] I have a question, my graphics resolution changed from 16:9 to 4:3 and my display is now named , "Laptop" [21:24] 16:9 and 4:3 are not resolutions, they are aspects [21:24] maxh76, Any kernel updates, what release? [21:24] Calinou where do I set that, xorg.conf? [21:25] I'm running 12.04 I'm pretty sure kernel updated yesterday before reboot. [21:25] I had to shutdown for update. === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [21:25] maxh76, Have you installed graphic drivers, and if so from where? [21:25] yeboot, some desktop environments have options for that [21:25] I haven't, I'm using nvidia though. [21:25] Beldar, there are always graphic drivers installed [21:26] I just installed proprietary graphics 3.04, I'm going to reboot. Be back with the same /nick if it doesn't work. [21:26] See you in a few minutes. [21:26] Calinou, Yes but user will go to the website for proprietary's. [21:26] users [21:26] Hi, I have a partition with ubuntu and Windows 8. However, whenever I start my laptop, it goes directly to Windows without giving me a choice to choose ubuntu. How do I fix this? [21:26] Calinou I'm using xfce, and all the xfce windows (and I think gtk windows) are using the correct sans 10pt font [21:26] Beldar, do not do that [21:26] Calinou but the QT/freedesktop windows seem to be using a different dpi [21:26] Firefly67 try pressing F12 [21:26] Firefly67, did you install windows 8 after ubuntu? === PupUser53cef1 is now known as Desperado [21:26] try to hold Shift when booting [21:26] Calinou, Why are you telling me this are you actually reading the posts. [21:26] (after the POST logo) [21:27] Beldar, I am... also you should end your questions with "?" :P [21:27] yeboot: you could use qt4-qtconfig to change the default font size for your qt apps (if the non-qt apps look fine) [21:27] Calinou, Your an idiot. [21:27] spell properly, and don't call eachothers names [21:27] no, installed ubuntu after Windows 8, Calinou [21:27] Calinou, sorry left out the ! [21:29] In my Unity taskbar, I have several common programs that do not show an icon. Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting methodology? [21:30] SteveH0: are those programs from outside the repository¿ compiled or binary [21:30] Calinou, And as you see the user did install proprietary drivers, my questions were appropriate to discover this. Why do you think I included a question of a kernel update and release? [21:31] Hello, I'm back. Installing proprietary 3.04 nvidia drivers did work. [21:31] maxh76, not advise, use the ubuntu repos. [21:31] advised* [21:32] xangua: These are terminal, system monitor and Back in Time. [21:32] Beldar, the 304 drivers are fine, however install them from the repos [21:33] SteveH0: have you been tweaking compiz settings then¿ sometimes when i do that I have to restart unity [21:33] glitsj16: I don't seem to have qt4-qtconfig installed [21:33] I usually would, but my aspect ratio got changed. How should I install using repository? I installed with "Additional Drivers" utility. [21:33] it got changed because your resolution has changed ;) [21:33] you're using the generic vesa driver because the nvidia driver broke [21:33] this is one of the downsides of using proprietary drivers [21:34] maxh76, that uses the repositories [21:34] so you're fine [21:34] Ok, thank you. [21:34] I wonder if 319 works now, not gonna try.. Yet. [21:34] Thanks for the help, adios. [21:34] yeboot: can you install it? depending on your ubuntu version it should be in the repos .. so sudo apt-get install qt4-qtconfig === max is now known as Guest37385 [21:41] Hello all, just made a fresh install of 13.04 server on an HP Proliant DL360 g4. Everything is cool until it reaches the grub menu. Display either doesn't show or appears fuzzy then eventually shuts off. Tried several suggestions including changing grub to nomodeset. Hope someone here can provide some guidance. === waigani_ is now known as waigani === timo is now known as Guest9768 [21:43] hey dougl [21:43] eagles0513875, hello [21:43] dougl: i think its more then a simple mounting issue [21:44] its not even seeing the partition [21:44] at all [21:44] not on a microsoft box either? [21:44] i dunno how to get it to mount in kvm [21:44] dougl: ^ [21:44] first time i have had the need to do such a thing [21:45] hi all! [21:45] hello [21:45] !hi [21:45] eagles0513875, what does kparted show on that partition? [21:45] eagles0513875, what is kvm again? [21:46] Beldar: gparted shows no partitions at all [21:46] I am old school [21:46] and i was using the drive earlier this afternoon [21:46] dougl: kvm = kernel based Virtualization [21:46] eagles0513875, This a msdos drive? [21:46] ntfs [21:46] Beldar: no ntfs [21:46] eagles0513875, msdos is a partition table type. [21:47] everything i have tried shows it as having no partitions or file system what so ever [21:47] im trying to mount it in a windows kvm vm to see if windows even detects it === shanahan is now known as someonnn [21:47] eagles0513875, Have you resized anything in it? [21:48] no its just one single partition [21:48] eagles0513875, Not a gpt? [21:48] no [21:49] * dougl is waiting to learn what to do when mounting a usb ntfs partition and getting the error "NTFS signature is missing" [21:49] eagles0513875, I wonder if it has a broken partition table or is broken or so fragmented it's not readable. [21:49] Beldar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6522026/ [21:49] Beldar: how can i get it to mount in a windows kvm vm i have [21:50] that does not look good [21:50] Beldar: what would break it when i was on it all day up until 6 hrs ago [21:50] eagles0513875, Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table seems relevant [21:50] yes but what happened to it [21:50] glitsj16: I installed it thanks [21:50] i didnt reformat didnt do anything [21:50] just moved songs around on the disk [21:50] glitsj16: I didn't see a dpi option though [21:51] So I'm trying to add an administrative user to GRUB2, so that if you want to change any of the boot options you need to login, but by doing so you need to authenticate just to boot the regular kernel, despite what this article indicates : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Passwords [21:51] In my Unity taskbar, I have several common programs (terminal, system monitor and Back in Time) that do not show an icon. Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting methodology? [21:51] What is better ubuntu or arch? [21:51] ubuntu [21:51] why? [21:52] package management and support [21:52] <[Gentoo]> Thor_: whats the point asking in here [21:52] !offtopic|Thor_ [21:52] Thor_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:52] Thor_, well... this is #ubuntu, so I'll say ubuntu [21:52] dougl: with the problems im having on kde im thinking of building a buidlroot system and building my own setup from the ground up [21:52] okok sorry [21:52] eagles0513875, I can't definitively say HD do break, do you have anything other than a windows vm version of windows to look at it with, YOu would have to add it to the read of the vm to see it there. [21:52] yeboot: no, but do you see the fonts tab? you can set up the default font type/size there [21:52] it's ok :) [21:52] eagles0513875, that is too bad you need to go that far [21:52] this drive is just a month old Beldar [21:52] glitsj16: it seems to use the same font as what I configure in xfce [21:53] but does not have the same dpi [21:53] hi people i have a problem with my keyboard [21:53] <[Gentoo]> Dice-Man: whats wrong with it [21:54] Beldar: can i pm you please [21:54] eagles0513875, Hehe, just trying to understand why this has happened, we don't do magic. I don;t PM [21:54] Is there anything better than WINE? [21:54] it doesn't print letters it prints little figures on it [21:54] Beldar: i guess i need to shutdown the vm [21:54] weird, if I set custom dpi in xfce's configuration program to 48, then set the font size to 18, everything goes to a normal sans 10pt font [21:54] Beldar: and how do i go about doing what you said above [21:54] <[Gentoo]> Thor_: a windows install [21:54] Thor_: a virtualized windows. [21:54] eagles0513875, This virtualbox? [21:54] good [21:55] ok thks [21:55] Beldar: no [21:55] KVM the vm is managed by virt manager [21:55] Doh! [21:55] <[Gentoo]> Thor_: well it depends, id rather have linux as the backing [21:55] eagles0513875, I only know virtualbox is all. [21:55] dougl: ? [21:55] yeboot: that's strange indeed, no clue on xfce's inner workings or settings alas [21:55] let me google a bit [21:55] <[Gentoo]> Thor_: but proper windows will actually work [21:55] Beldar: resolved the problem, just did a complete reinstall of NVIDIA's current driver [21:56] [Gentoo]: my keyboard prints little figures on it instead of letters [21:56] eagles0513875, The disk utility has a smart check top right corner gear dropdown. [21:56] i use ubuntu 13.04 [21:56] <[Gentoo]> Dice-Man: on what [21:56] [Gentoo], WINE can actually work too. [21:56] but not on all software... that's all [21:56] <[Gentoo]> Calinou: yeah yeah lol [21:56] Beldar: which one the gparted? [21:56] AaronMT, Cool, nvidia can be a pain from what I have seen, I have never had the pleasure/pain of using it. [21:57] [Gentoo]: on my screen i'm forced to use a second keyboard [21:57] wine did not work well at high resolutions [21:57] Beldar: ati is more so nvidia i have had nothing but good luck with it [21:57] eagles0513875, disks it is in the menu, it is another partitioner, but has a smartcheck. [21:58] Beldar: think i need to install it as im using kde lol [21:58] eagles0513875, Never had a problem with intel but thanks. [21:58] or possibly install ubuntu [21:58] currently my additional drivers says nvidia drivers are installed but not in use... but I get the nvidia splash when I startx [21:58] Beldar: give me a few moments [21:59] err start kde [21:59] hello everyone, I just installed ubuntu on samsung n150 plus netbook. the wireless driver was not there. is there a way to install it without internet connection (I have a second pc with internet) [21:59] dougl: im on kde [21:59] k [22:00] hello [22:00] Beldar: is disks part of unity? [22:00] bandio: What chipset? (lspci -nn) [22:01] what is the best way to connect to a windows ec2 box from ubuntu? [22:01] rdesktop [22:01] jrubino: :P not to use windows in the first place :p [22:01] eagles0513875, I believe its called gnome-dsik-utility I use the shelll but the install was ubuntu with unity. [22:01] ok if that is the name ill find and install the package [22:01] hello. How can you watch someone else's Twitter feed in Ubuntu? [22:02] jhutchins, the command returned a whole lot of lines. which mostly start with N10/ICH 7..shall I paste the output? [22:02] eagles0513875, gnome-disk-utility sorry [22:02] :) installing it now Beldar [22:02] I tried adding my Twitter account in Empathy but I do not see how to follow someone else's feed. [22:03] eagles0513875, Cool helps if you can see HD with it I think, the gear top right has the info it reads the HD often. [22:03] ok hold on [22:03] eagles0513875: Are you just trying to check the filesystem on a disk? [22:03] jhutchins: nope the partition and file system just vanished for some reason [22:03] jhutchins, he has an unallocated [22:03] it was working all day today and now its gone [22:04] when it was allocated earlier [22:04] eagles0513875: Flash drive? [22:04] usb 3 external hard disk [22:04] eagles0513875: Mechanical, not flash? [22:04] correct jhutchins [22:05] eagles0513875: Linux is becomming cursed by its success and windows dev environments are becomming cheaper [22:05] jhutchins, has a http://paste.ubuntu.com/6522026/ info I noticed the table info, just info for yah. [22:05] I'm trying to apt-get build-dep wine, it says "libcups2-dev : Depends: libgnutls-dev but it is not going to be installed". Trying to install libgnutls-dev: "libgnutls-dev : Depends: libp11-kit-dev (>= 0.4) but it is not going to be installed". And now I'm stuck because I can't find libp11-kit-dev 11 in the repo :) [22:05] Anyone have experience with fuzzy display after boot? [22:05] eagles0513875: I leave you in Beldar's hands then. If what he suggests doesn't work, there was someone who recovered from a similar situation using a program called "testdisk" (and that is all I know about it). [22:05] eagles0513875: the only OS i might use other than Buntu is Debian [22:06] at home [22:06] Suspiro, are you using a CRT monitor by any chance? [22:06] :-/ [22:06] if so, it's a sign of it degrading. [22:06] jhutchins, feel free to watch and comment, hard to say with a ntfs, could be a number of issues. [22:06] No IBM LCD [22:06] hmm [22:06] Tried on different monitor as well [22:07] so how do I battle this cancer that is apt-get ? [22:07] if so, then it's the video card adapter [22:07] Suspiro, what kind of video card? [22:07] malinus, meaning? [22:07] Suspiro: lcd monitors have a "native resolution", and usually have the clearest display at that setting. [22:07] malinus: 1. how the crap is it cancer and 2. what are you trying to accomplish [22:07] preferably not in that order [22:07] Whats the best way to delete an old isntallation of ubuntu? [22:07] Nach0z, Beldar : I'm trying to apt-get build-dep wine, it says "libcups2-dev : Depends: libgnutls-dev but it is not going to be installed". Trying to install libgnutls-dev: "libgnutls-dev : Depends: libp11-kit-dev (>= 0.4) but it is not going to be installed". And now I'm stuck because I can't find libp11-kit-dev 11 in the repo :) [22:08] malinus, Heh wine, just use windows for windows app is my advice. [22:08] Beldar, well that is a shitty advice, but thanks :) [22:08] Beldar: in disks what did you say to do [22:08] malinus: 1)Use the packaged version of wine or 2) find a way to do what you're really trying to do without the Microsoft garbage. [22:08] malinus I bet you've installed some external app, and now it's dependencies are conflicting [22:08] jhutchins, the output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6522140/ [22:08] jhutchins: or 3 use the latest version of wine which might fix your application issues [22:08] wheatthin, damn apt-get [22:09] malinus, we don't swear here and watch your attitude, you knock out good help showing both. [22:09] malinus it's not apt-get's fault. lol you typed it :P [22:09] sorry [22:09] malinus: jhutchins has the right idea actually. Start off by seeing if the latest prepackaged wine works. [22:09] Beldar: ping [22:09] malinus: also, sudo apt-cache search libp11-kit-dev says it exists. [22:10] The server I'm using has Integrated ATI RAGE XL Video Controller [22:10] eagles0513875, There is a gear in the top right corner smart data and self tests is what you want [22:10] malinus: sudo apt-get update once or twice then try sudo apt-get install libp11-kit-dev [22:10] Suspiro, ahh a bit old [22:10] Beldar: cant run the smart tests [22:10] It was working fine previously on a debian install [22:10] Suspiro, yes, but it's getting OLD [22:10] eagles0513875, That may be the case is it external? [22:10] stuff wears out [22:10] yes external [22:10] Nach0z, "libp11-kit-dev : Depends: libp11-kit0 (= 0.14-1) but 0.18.3-2ubuntu1~raring1 is to be installed" the never-ending story [22:11] Just yesterday it was on the 12 lts release and would have the issue only sometimes [22:11] malinus: sounds to me like you installed something that conflicts, or your ubuntu is out of date... what version of ubuntu are you using, and when was the last time you did sudo apt-get upgrade and/or dist-upgrade? [22:11] I'd restart the server and the display would be back [22:12] eagles0513875, Ah some are read some are not, not really sure what happened, if it were me I would plug it into a windows OS, maybe you can get the vm to read it, I only know vbox is all. [22:12] Suspiro, yes, it's your hardware failing. [22:12] Nach0z, it's 13.04, and today. [22:12] Upgraded to 13 now always fuzzy then to black [22:12] bandio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43x - Yes, you can download packages, transfer them, and install with dpkg -i. [22:12] Hello, I am trying to convince my MIS team to allow some of the college computers to run ubuntu. What would be the best way to allow ubuntu computers to log into a windows domain? (for authentication only, no profile loading needed) [22:12] Pinkamena_D: samba/winbind. [22:13] Pinkamena_D: Supposedly works pretty well. [22:13] Nach0z, but yeah, if I didn't have to install wine from source, I wouldn't do it. But also I want to learn how to do basic stuff like this. [22:13] do you have a tut you would recommend? [22:13] I've seen others post about the same issue on other hardware [22:13] malinus: if you go to the wine website they have a ppa for the latest versions [22:13] Pinkamena_D, Good luck with that, if they don't already I doubt they will change. The college I just graduated from had multiple open source labs [22:13] malinus the thing is, when you install other external packages, it breaks things. please stick to the repo, or you're going to continue to break things [22:13] Pinkamena_D: I'd start with the ubuntu wiki. [22:13] Pinkamena_D: No, I don't know of a specific one. [22:14] thanks, I am starting here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [22:14] malinus: the output from trying to install libp11-kit-dev seems to me that you're just on too old of a version of ubuntu for the libraries for the latest version of Wine [22:14] wheatthin, I guess I just shouldn't be using ubuntu then [22:14] Any way I could modify the network file and have ssh automatically run on boot? I don't necessarily need the display. [22:15] malinus if that's how you feel. But I'd take our advice, and do it the right way (according to Ubuntu) === magenta is now known as Guest99179 [22:15] uhm err... howdy guys! I have a little problem. After last update (or so in linux) my recorded audio is given back as very fast-forwarded fassion. Am i only one having this issue? I tried to contact guys at #audacity but seems guys are offline [22:15] and that only occurs on audacity [22:16] eraggo: You'll have better luck with the mailing lists/forums for audacity. [22:16] eraggo: That's an interesting problem and should probably be reported as a bug. [22:16] ok.

Could it still be the hardware? [22:21] Suspiro, no [22:22] jhutchins: jhutchins i don't see that file in there [22:22] Any suggestions on a work around? [22:23] can anyone explain to me how a file system and partition just vanish [22:23] jhutchins: i see a .bash_profile [22:24] eagles0513875: format? [22:24] How can I change the SFTP root?

[22:24] qin_: ntfs [22:24] i have never had this happen before [22:25] Suspiro, if it does, then it's still definitely hardware [22:25] eagles0513875: in anyway you want to recover partition table.

[22:50] last week i found out my imac's hard disk is on the way out and that is over 2 yrs old and already on the way out [22:51] hwlide this isn't the place [22:51] Beldar: bitcasa for 10 USD a month no limit on storage [22:51] in the cloud there i already have close to 400G backed up [22:51] wheatthin, why not, I am doing it in ubuntu. [22:51] from music and everything in between [22:51] re-installing proprietary nvidia drivers and runnign risk of making whole system go back to CLI... [22:51] eagles0513875: You might want to run smartmontools on them. [22:51] hwlide #ubuntu-offtopic [22:51] i already ran that on my imac [22:51] that is not offtopic @ wheatthin [22:52] jhutchins: is smartmontools in the repos [22:52] hwilde, is something broken? lol no. [22:52] eagles0513875: Yes. [22:52] I cannot understand why on earth the fade-in of the dash is hard-coded in the source code... [22:52] jhutchins: anything special to run it [22:52] eagles0513875: Not really, you do need to check the logs regularly. [22:53] jhutchins: ok does smart-notifier - graphical hard disk health status notifier interface with the tools? [22:53] eagles0513875: No idea. [22:53] eagles0513875: I would guess it's an add-on. [22:54] thats what im thinking [22:57] Hello [22:58] What are those files which have the same filename + extension as another files but with a ~ appended to it? [22:58] what are disadvantage of OpenJDK vs Oracle JDK ? for Java development training / learning purposes === sergi_22 is now known as iko2 [23:00] eTronik, it's easier to get source code for rt.jar in openjdk, so you can step through the standard librarys, they're otherwise very similar [23:01] ariscop, will I as a noob java programmer need access to rt.jar ? [23:01] for anything that is ? [23:01] eagles0513875: Yeah, it's an add on, does what it says on the box. Thanks! I have it now. [23:01] eTronik, it helps clarify things, if an api doesn't work as you expect stepping through it with the debugger is the most accurate way to learn [23:02] jhutchins: odd i have nothing showing up on kde :X [23:02] i know this is for unity support but os is the same being kde or unity [23:02] jhutchins: how did you start it? [23:02] eagles0513875: Try logging out and logging back in. [23:02] ok ill see it on next reboot [23:02] i dont want to reinterrupt test disk [23:03] sooooo.... trying again... anyone here know how to troubleshoot bluetooth or restore it to a clean state? [23:03] this is on 13.10 where it _used_ to work prior to adding a new device, and now it won't start at all. [23:04] i am happy to lose all my current settings and re-setup my devices, but to do that, i need to be able to start it. :\ [23:05] sunbird, what do you mean "now it won't start" [23:05] Ilmen2: http://askubuntu.com/questions/83026/prevent-gedit-from-creating-files-with-the-tilde-suffix === siya is now known as Siya [23:05] thanks :) [23:06] hwilde: if i start the bluetooth gui, and click on the off/on toggle, it switches to on for <1 second, then immediately switches back to off. [23:06] hwilde: i tried shutting down and restarting, problem persists on a clean boot. [23:06] hwilde: i've never had any issues with bluetooth before on this machine (lenovo x220) === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:07] Ilmen2: you're welcome, you can change the behaviour of gedit to suit your needs, info is detailed in that page [23:09] wow...laziness and 0 motivation suckness are overloading me.. [23:09] any one who knows some low-medium level projects in github that i can contribute to?joining projects will increase my motivation === Negative is now known as NEGATlVE [23:11] Is there any good Video Editing software in Ubuntu? [23:12] win 11 [23:12] NEGATlVE, you would have to define good, but ok... I'd say yes [23:12] NEGATlVE: openshot [23:12] NEGATlVE, ubuntu software center > type video editor or whatever > see the comments and judge [23:13] NEGATlVE, pro NLE lightworks [23:16] sunbird, you must have some relevant log messages in /var/log/messages or dmesg or something, find them and pastebin them [23:16] sunbird, /var/log/syslog [23:16] hello, can any one help to change xterm color, i was on /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color but i can't see it === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [23:17] Is there a way to disable compositing ? [23:17] Hi, trying to get ubuntu 13.10 running I get a failed to load r600 when I run glxgears [23:17] hwilde: there was nothing in dmesg or syslog. i'll check messages, but can't do so until i'm home (@work atm). so i guess there's not a simple way to just restore it to a clean state? i tried apt-get remove --purge but didn't help. [23:19] Would like to disable compositing to game === DWSR is now known as Guest11806 [23:19] hello, can any one help to change xterm color, i was on /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color but i can't see it [23:20] hi. i seted up vsftpd ssl on ubuntu 12.04 server. i added users and tested. everything works fine.. now im trying to access files that i uploaded over ftp to server via browser. so when i go ftpserver:990 and then type in ftp:ftppass and see files.. can someone point me to the right direction for google on that? [23:24] compex: Are you using Unity/Compiz? [23:24] sponzor: you forwarded port 990 for control and a data-range for communications i take it? [23:25] Sometimes when I edit files (usually system files) I get the warning "(gedit:4165): WARNING **: Could not load Gedit repository: Typelib file for namespace 'GtkSource', version '3.0' not found" === timo is now known as Guest15702 [23:26] what does this mean? [23:26] Does it need some upgrade? === Daemoen_ is now known as Daemoen [23:28] Actually I think this happen only when I run gedit from the terminal [23:29] compex: Compositing is already disabled for full screen apps by default (compiz's unredirect full screen windows). [23:29] Well this should happen everytime [23:31] try installing gir1.2-gtksource3.0 or similar [23:32] Hi [23:32] Beldar: :) still running here [23:34] X3MBoy: thanks for the suggestion [23:35] well hell ill have to run testdisk at home work just finished [23:37] Beldar: will restart the disk check when i get home i just finished work === Guest2029 is now known as LoganCloud [23:47] i shoul quit [23:52] i have two 128GB SSDs. I installed windows 8.1 on one of them. Then I installed ubuntu on the 2nd one, and made ubuntu use windows 8.1 EFI partition for UEFI boot. When I turned my computer on I was presented with only a grub prompt. So what I did was restore my windows8.1.img with dd back to the windows SSD hoping it would restore the EFI partition to its original form so I could at least then boot windows 8.1 again. But it did noth [23:53] the grub prompt. Why would this be? [23:54] anton02, Do you still get the grub menu, and have you run sudo update-grub in ubuntu? [23:55] Beldar: I disconnected the ubuntu SSD after hoping to restore windows 8.1 UEFI boot [23:56] anton02, Did you have windows in grub? Did you run sudo update-grub in ubuntu, two questions here. [23:56] Beldar: sorry, I meant to say I was presented with grub command-prompt, and not a menu [23:56] anton02, Ah, did you try the bootrepair app at any time? [23:57] Beldar: Ubuntu was installed 2nd, so why would you need to run update-grub [23:57] Beldar: Yeah I've tried that but it didn't fix it [23:57] anton02, sometimes grub needs this it has a os-prober to find other os's [23:58] quick question - anyone else affected by the whole citrix issue ... I'm a noob at this but I got this far... if anyone can point me in the right direction I will forever be indebted [23:58] anton02, That bootinfo summary that is generated with that app is important it is a detail script of what is there. [23:58] Beldar: But even so, it should still be able to boot at least ubuntu which it couldn't so the problem likely lies elsewhere [23:59] Beldar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6514668/ [23:59] anton02, In a perfect world yes, but when searching for answers on your own you can make things worse, the description is a bit hard to follow is all of what you have done.
