articsunlitropy:  sudo something restart?00:28
litropyarticsun, yes.00:28
BeldarPhil_new, Might be worth doing a text boot by hitting e at grub and removing the quiet splash to look for errors. You can get in through recovery and change the password, but it may be an issue that does not address is all.00:28

articsunlitropy:  I'm not sure hmm00:29

kakashiALStanley00: tvs is a teamviewer file02:23

sbn1986ok.. sorry about tha04:27
Beldarsdouble, Not sure that is the best way I would check if that is correct with ubuntu's framework.04:28
sbn1986I am a newbie in ubuntu ..I downloaded ubintu.. extracted the iso image to hard and tried to install by clicking on wubi. its again asking for downloading about 900mbs...04:28
sbn1986what is the problem ?04:28
Beldarsbn1986, wubi does not install from the iso, and is not recommended in general.04:29
wheatthinwubi comes with it's own installation medium prewritten to fetch04:29
sbn1986ok..04:29
Stanley00sbn1986: that wubi need an iso file, not extracted files, so you need copy iso to the wubi's dir04:29
sbn1986ok.. let me try04:30
Beldarsbn1986, there is virtually no support for wubi just be aware of that.04:30
sbn1986But its in the iso image... is their any alternative ways ?04:30
Beldaryou mess up and you will be by yourself04:30
sdoubleBeldar: it's not a huge deal, just a minor annoyance.  I'd log in as root to edit some nginx configs then sicne I'm logged in, I want to do some stuff as a user account.  just an extra step to cd ~ after switching, figured there'd be a way to automatically switch to that user's home dir04:31
sbn1986Beldar. what is the safest way of installing ? burn that iso image and boot from DVD ?04:32
Beldarsdouble, I believe ubuntu is structured in a manner that using su can break it in some circumstances is all, not sure otherwise as far as your goals.04:32

ubottutvin: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out and !UbuntuTV04:34
Sianguys, I'm scared. I was managing my sd card's files through mtp whn I changed the filename of one of its folders, some minutes after I tried to access it but it wouldn't let me, so I tried to look for it in my phone(that's where the micro sd card is)and the folder isn't there04:34

wadI'm not sure how it's set up right now. Just took it out of the box, booted it to Win8.05:12
wad(Wow, win8 is a pig.)05:12
Beldarwad, make the recovery cd/usb for W8, then image/clone it before you install ubuntu05:13
edenistwad: if win is on that 25GB [thats small!] drive, there probably wont be enough space to have ubuntu too. you can install ubuntu on the other drive, but put the grub bootloader on the drive windows is on, so it will prompt you at bootup which OS to boot05:13
Guest61515ubuntu is the preferred OS for proud gay men05:14

threex5 yeah wad, I think you need 16 to 20 gb just to run windows 805:14
wadOkay, thanks for the advice. I think the 25GB SSD is used for caching somehow.05:14
wadI'll have to read up on this.05:14

edenistgotjuice, is your laptop one with hybrid graphics?05:26

BeldarResQue, If it was you would have it figured out, uefi is different for every manufacturer, and not a a linux product, which has only been able to provide shims to use it.05:27

ResQuegotjuice: yes is it possible? it seems when i install grub i get either grub-efi or the pc grub version i want both05:31
gotjuiceResQue, if package manager doesn't allow to install both at the same time the very first conclusion is that they are in conflict according to some reason, which leads to some sort of conclusion05:32

tvinctmjr: Free software?05:45
gotjuiceliam, well, linux launches all that graphic stuff separately, like an unnecessary app if such parallel is appropriate, so some of such desktop environments require graphics card support with 3d features, my best guess is that you need to get working driver for your ati card, i'm not familiar with amd graphics, but there are howtos05:45

AlexLibmanok, thanks06:48
FlannelAlexLibman: That's the method you'll use.  If you want to downgrade to a previous version, you'll need to put that version's repos (raring) in your sources list, I'm not sure if you've done that or not06:48
AlexLibmanNo, haven't done that yet.06:49
impradeepyalex:check the version available in your repo06:50
FlannelAlexLibman: another way, if it's just one package, is to just download the deb and install it.  You'll still need to do the pinning/holding though, to keep it from upgrading.06:50

kevin__I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 on my laptop right now and the driver installed with it07:12

edenistok no worries. The reason I asked is that you must make sure the old drivers are uninstalled first. And that depends on how they were first installed07:13

uefinoobHey guys08:19
buucrocket: Ok, and?08:20
uefinoobI tried to install Ubuntu on my new ThinkPad laptop with UEFI, did the usual (disable fastboot, secure boot, etc.), and wanted to select "Install Alongside" as seen in this screenshot: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347270713.png08:20
uefinoobonly problem, when I got to that point, it's not there, only wipe hard drive and "something else"08:20
uefinoobso my question is08:20
uefinoobwill it run if I just shrink the main windows partition and make a new one for Ubuntu?08:21
Jordan_Uuefinoob: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".08:21

uefinoobi remember installing hardy heron many years ago on a real BIOS lol08:21
buucrocket: Aside from the obvious answer of 'google it' why do you want to?08:22
crocketbuu : 1) It makes it very difficult to measure the estimated time of copy completion 2) if the copy destination is a remote one and I stop the copy in the middle, the local machine keeps sending useless bits to the destination machine for minutes at full speed.08:23
uefinoobalright im in ubuntu08:23
Jordan_Uuefinoob: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".08:24

Beldaruefinoob, Make sure you do, you would want to have it W8 has the ability to do some of what it's used for from the desktop, but if you need to reload the boot or reload images you would want it. In general windows should be resized with its disk manager leaving an unallocated for ubuntu to install alongside, make an image/clone of windows if you can to be covered.08:42

uefinoobI'll make a recovery USB, create a blank partition from the disk manager in windows, then choose that partiton in ubuntu installer, install, and then run bootrepair08:45
Beldaruefinoob, It does with msdos, I'm not sure with gpt, however using the windows partitioner is safer.08:45

LajjlaAny pointers on the issue?13:06
marsfligthI tried few times to kill 'X' but I get a sort of logout13:06
yeatsLajjla: if you're using NetworkManager (which you do on desktop by default), the interfaces are managed there13:06
ActionParsnipLajjla: if you run:   sudo lshw -C network    you will see the interface name (if the Ethernet chip is detected)13:06
ActionParsnipIceSeven: its a single line, so pasting in here is fine13:07

IceSevencfhowlett, How to purge the freqd?13:11
LajjlaActionParsnip, it doesn't have a logical name unlike the wireless which is wlan013:11
ActionParsnipLajjla: could try removing then reloading the driver module using modprobe13:12
cfhowlettIceSeven, terminal command   sudo apt-get purge freqd13:12
IceSevenThanks a lot!13:12
cfhowlettIceSeven, then sudo apt-get install freqd13:12
IceSevenI try it13:12
marsfligthby the way, I still have a problem on video adapters. If I use the embedded Intel video adapter it works, but when I try to install a Nvidia o Radeon often I get only the Bash or the 'safe boot'. I followed many guides to remove Nvidia and Ati drivers but the problem persists. OS: Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit13:12

ubottumarsfligth: 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 parameter13:13

Romancehelp, about my flashdisk, its completely hidden (even with ctrl + h) , and when i do `ls -Ra`, i found only this --> .:13:15
Romancewhat is .: ?13:16
IceSevenThanks !13:16
ActionParsnipLajjla: what Ethernet controller do you have?13:17
ActionParsnipLajjla: any chance its a realtek 8111 or something?13:17
RoryRomance: Can you pastebin the output of that command so we can see?13:18
ActionParsnipRomance: is it mounted?13:19
RomanceRory: ah nevermind sir, testdisk didnt do the job well, photorec is now recovering the files :D ! love photorec !!13:19
RomanceActionParsnip: yes its ok now, love photorec <313:19
marsfligthK1rk: thanks for helping, I forgotten to say other 'symptoms', I using gnome-fallback (gnome classic) and using the embedded video adapter Intel works only with 'metcity', if I launch 'compiz' I lose menus specially in gnome terminal GUI13:20
LajjlaActionParsnip: 'product: Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller'13:20
ActionParsnipRomance: i suggest you maybe start backing up stuff, then you won't need photorec13:20
ActionParsnipLajjla: ok let me search13:21
LajjlaActionParsnip, you are too kind13:21
LajjlaYou shall be rewarded handsomely at the conclusion of our voyage.13:21

JaredForTheWinHas anyone noticed that Canonical released a 14.04 beta?13:23
cfhowlett!trusty13:23
ubottuUbuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu.  See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+113:23
ActionParsnipJaredForTheWin: yes, its also not duiscussed here. Try in #ubuntu+113:23
ActionParsnipJaredForTheWin: why would we not notice?13:24
ActionParsnipJaredForTheWin: its also not in Beta til February 201413:24
ActionParsnipJaredForTheWin: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/08/ubuntu-14-04-lts-release-schedule13:24
ActionParsnipJaredForTheWin: so wherever ou heard it was in beta is incorrect13:25

* cfhowlett ... but - but I HEARD it on the internetz!13:25
ActionParsnipcfhowlett: ohz noez13:26
ActionParsnipJaredForTheWin: so, where did you hear it was in beta please?13:26
JaredForTheWinActionParsnip: I have the link to a offical download to a ISO.13:26
RoryAction "It's not discussed here" Parsnip proceeds to discuss at length the Trusty release schedule13:26
cfhowlettLOL13:27
ActionParsnipJaredForTheWin: its in Alpha now, its not in Beta for a long long time13:27

JaredForTheWinHey guys, I have a problem with Ubuntu. Specifically 13.04.13:42
Guest89573hi all, using audacity on ubuntu 12.04 trying to record from flash based streams. recording works fine when listening to rhythembox but audacity sort of freezes when using a flash stream13:43
JaredForTheWinWell, when I start it up, it's like 720x800 resolution or something13:43
JaredForTheWinAnd I can't change it, and I tried a reinstall of Ubuntu13:43
JaredForTheWinAnd that didn't change it13:43

ActionParsnipthepreacher: do the links I gave help?13:59
vakusr13: i am ok with console, but my daughter not and will not :)14:00
cfhowlettjony_easyrider, resizing and updating have nothing to do with USB.  I'd suspect your USB itself has failed.  try a different one14:00
ObrienDaveice9, try a different icon theme. not all themes have all of the same icons14:00
ActionParsnipjony_easyrider: or try a different port (if you havent already)14:00
ice9ObrienDave, I tried but the problem remains14:00
vakphilinux: it is *after* apt-get install. it is ok now, I've been wondering why it was not installed from distro...14:01

ActionParsnipjony_easyrider: does:   dmesg | tail -n 15    show them in and out?14:02
vakusr13: right. That's why we stay with serving and those who can't will stick to management -- unfair, rigth ? ))14:02
ActionParsnipjony_easyrider: when you last unplugged it when it was working, did you use the safe removal feature in your OS before unplugging it?14:02

cfhowlettjony_easyrider, reboot.  choose advanced options or choose older ubuntu.  login14:03
ActionParsnipjony_easyrider: have you fsck'd the partition, you can do it in Windows too. FAT32 is far from robust14:03
usr13vak: Not so much that it is unfair, I would say unfurtunate.  (I want to do things for myself, and learn, so I fill sorry for those that don't).14:04
vakphilinux: it is installe and available now, i just can't figure out, how is the distro was installed if it wasn't done already...14:04

BTW I tried the simplescreenrecorder program and changed the Audio Input backend from pulsaudio to alsa and it was able to record the screen and the background noise although was very faint. If alsa will work instead of pulseaudio how can I make also the default back end instead ?14:15

molqra box 'A' gets its ip via dhcp .... how can i arrange so that A stores its ip on another machine B .... B has a fixed ip address so i can always query B to figure out A's ip .... or is there any other way to track the ip of a machine with dhcp addresses?14:18
jony_easyriderI will reinstall Ubuntu14:18
somsipmolqr: give A a fixed IP outside of DHCP but in the same network. Works for me14:19
gvoedolouglin: Is there and option Keyboard shortcuts in your Edit menu?14:19
Rorymolqr: You know the hostname of the box, call it 'foo' you can just to "host foo" and get its IP14:20
molqrsomsip: i see. could you give me some more details.14:20
edolouglingvo: The Search menu isn't listed in the shortcut editor and c-s-F isn't listed as a global shortcut either (looking via gconf)14:20
Rorymolqr: For the other approach, give A a static IP the same way you gave it to B14:20
molqrRory: thanks but what if many boxes have the same name? sorry i don't know much about networking.14:20
=== bobdole is now known as _dan_
Rorymolqr: It all depends on your dhcp server really. is it a home router?14:21

somsipmolqr: but you may be restricted by the DHCP server. If it doesn't allow you to allocate static in the same subnet then you will have problems14:22

zyzzyvanot sure how to quit or if it's safe to ctrl-C14:23
molqrRory: sorry. let me try again. boxes on my lan get ip via a DHCP server beyond my control. i want to monitor the ip of a fixed machine Foo. there are some fixed ips available. so i was hoping to have Foo write its ip to one of the fixed ip machine.14:24
ObrienDavedocente, you're set to only upgrade LTS versions14:25
Rorymolqr: Why not just assign foo a static IP in the first place, thus sidestepping the problem14:25
docenteObrienDave, howto unset this?14:25
somsipmolqr: in that case, setup a domain (including a free one like noip or dyndns) and get the A machine to register it's internal IP. Then you can use a FQDN to access it14:25
Rorymolqr: Oh yeah do that ^14:25
PaRaD0xxRHi, I'm still trying to get print sharing working.  I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu I think I followed the directions there all properly, but I still can't print to a Ubuntu 12.04 lts box sharing its printer, either on xp/7 or another pc running lubuntu.  Not sure what else to check.14:26
molqrRory: on my lan all machines have 172.a.b.c ips.... and i can not assign one of the fixed ips as the mail server, print server and ftp server are assigned the fixed ip. so these fixed ips are not availble tome for assigning to machines.14:27
ObrienDavedocente, software & updates, updates, notify me of new versions, change to "for any new version"14:27
tmmunq!zentyal14:27
ubottuzentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04).14:27
Rorymolqr: I think you should just refer to this machine by its hostname not its IP address. That's what they're for :)14:28
PaRaD0xxRThe lubuntu laptop sees the hostname of the ubuntu pc sharing the printer, and adds it just fine, but I get "cannot locate printer" when I try the test page14:28
Rorymolqr: Give it a nice unique hostname14:28
molqrsomsip: noip dyndns and FQDM ... will read up on them. thanks.14:28
tmmunqdoes anyone know any tools for benchmarking a network device? more specifically a router/firewall?14:28
Rorymolqr: Find out the full hostname with "dig +short -x 1.2.3.4" where 1.2.3.4 is your current IP14:29
docenteObrienDave, already set dont' work14:29
molqrRory: sorry but somehow i can' ever ping the machines by the hostname.. we always use ips... but of course the machines that have fixed ips.. i can ping them by hostname ... is this related to how the DHCP server is set up?14:29
somsipmolqr: basically, on an IP change, machine A will run a script to update the DNS records for a domain like 'machineA.mydomain.noip.org' so you can just access it using that fixed Fully Qulified Domain Name14:29
molqrRory: thanks will try that.14:29
molqrsomsip: yes i had something like that in mind. whenever the ip of Foo changes it will write its ip via ftp to the Bar server .. that has a fixed ip.14:30
Roryfor example molqr my current domain is "rory-W530.lee1.uk.odnet.co.uk" - anyone else who is part of lee1.uk.odnet.co.uk can just "ping rory-W530"14:30
docenteObrienDave, i have a terminal opened, explainj me where i can check why dist won't upgrade14:30
somsipmolqr: then you'd be reinventing the wheel a bit if you did the same thing yourself. Certainly possible I would think14:31
JaredForTheWinSometimes I wonder if Rory really is a AI..14:31

Firefly67hi can anyone help me with the keyboard in ubuntu 13.10 not printing the character it is supposed to print?14:34
ObrienDavedocente, try "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"14:34
RoryFirefly67: For example...?14:34
JaredForTheWinRory: But you are very intelligent!14:34
JaredForTheWinThe internet is getting a little bit TOO smarter...14:34
docenteObrienDave, i'm doing14:34
Firefly67I had to copy-paste the hash-symbol to get into this room, for example. If I type the hash key, it produces \14:34
RoryFirefly67: Go change your keyboard layout, it's set to USA by mistake14:35
JaredForTheWinSet to USA by mistake?14:35
Firefly67I don't see any option to choose any country14:35
RoryFirefly67: Yes on a US keyboard layout, you have to type shift-3 to get hash14:35
RoryFirefly67: it doesn't have its own key without pressing shift14:35
hydra7how to add space to /home in ubuntu?14:36
Firefly67ok, what do I do to make the keyboard type what it is supposed to type?14:36
JaredForTheWinFirefly is from England. That seems to explain it.14:36
Roryhydra7: Is it a partition?14:36
hydra7Rory yes14:36
Roryhydra7: Boot from a LiveCD and use the gparted program to rearrange and resize partitions14:36
Firefly67I don't see where I choose US/UK in keyboard settings -> keyboard layout14:37
hydra7Rory: let's see14:37

philinuxFirefly67;~ sorted14:47
ObrienDavehydra7, you can't directly merge 2 partitions14:47
hydra7ObrienDave then how can i do it?14:47
Roryhydra7: Back up, delete them, create a new bigger one14:47
[Jano]hydra7: Use gparted14:48
Roryhydra7: What is the other partition though, is it your Ubuntu / partition?14:48
hydra7Rory: deleting /home?14:48

dondopaWhats the handbrake commands to convert from avi to mp4 so that I can watch it on my samsung smart TV?14:49
RoryHi dondopa this is the Ubuntu support channel14:50
Rorydondopa: you want #handbrake14:50
hydra7Rory threw an error saying something like 'We are unable to inform the kernel'14:50
dondopathank you14:50
[Jano]dondopa: Use Avidemux14:50
Roryhydra7: err did you delete the entire partition table?14:51
dondopaJano I specifically have to use Handbrake14:51
ActionParsnipdondopa: handbrake is a GUI application, so there are no commands for it. Its a clickable application14:51
hydra7Rory i just selected it and deleted14:51
dondopahandbrake-cli14:51
PaRaD0xxRhmm..tried just a dummyfile to print, stuck at "getting printer information"14:51
ActionParsnipdondopa: http://andrebluehs.net/blog/converting-avi-to-mp4-with-ffmpeg/    why not use ffmpeg14:51
Roryhydra7: OK that's fine then, have you resized your home partition into the now free space?14:51
dondopaI have to use Handbrake specifically the command-line one14:51
Rorydondopa: Why?14:51
dondopabecause my dad insists that I use the stupid complicated Command line version14:52
hydra7Rory no resize option for home partition14:52

hydra7yes sd5 Rory14:55
hydra7*sda14:55
dondopaWhatever..14:55
RoryOK well there's not much you can really do hydra714:55
Roryhydra7: You can't resize it because /dev/sda7 is in the way14:55
ActionParsnipdondopa: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide14:55
ActionParsnipdondopa: I'd just get ffmpeg installed, ista tonne easier14:55
Roryhydra7: You could back up the contents of /dev/sda7 and delete it, then delete that swap partition14:55
dondopaffmpeg is slower than handbrake14:56
dondopaaccordingto my dad14:56
Roryhydra7: then you could resize /dev/sda5 as big as you like, and recreate the ntfs partition again14:56
ActionParsnipdondopa: http://wdtvforum.com/main/index.php?topic=1114.014:56

hydra7Rory can i create swap partition too?14:56
ActionParsnipdondopa: yeah but all this time wasted getting the commands right......14:56
dondopaI am supposed to find out on my own14:56
Roryhydra7: yes but you can see, can't you, that you can't resize /dev/sda5 because there's no room14:56
ActionParsnipdondopa: I'm sure we are talking minutes of difference in result14:56
dondopaIf I asked him he would scold me14:56
Roryhydra7: Imagine they are real physical sliders, and use your intuition14:56
balintanthi14:57

e_t_user137: The EFI boot partition has the files to load GRUB from EFI, then the /boot partition has your kernel and ramdisk for booting your system proper.16:39
e_t_GRUB doesn't know how to decrypt the encrypted partition, so it needs to load the kernel and ramdisk from unencrypted storage.16:40

ctcbActionPa1snip, tried that, it didn't boot, just went straight in to Ubuntu again.17:04
ActionPa1snipctcb: could borrow a friends PC to get this done?17:05
jhutchinsctcb: When you used dd to write to the device, you overwrote the partition table and formatted filesystem.17:05
ctcbActionPa1snip, I don't have real life friends.17:06

ctcbjhutchins, how else can I write the iso to the drive?17:06
subz3r0ctcb: just format the stick as you did. then extrac the iso to the stick. thats it.17:06
subz3r0dont forget the bootflag...17:06
jhutchinsA bootable installer image is typically written directly to the device, not a partition, and includes an MBR.17:08
ctcbsubz3r0, I'm not sure how I actually open the iso to copy the things to the USB Stick.17:08
jhutchinsctcb: Where did you get the w8.1 iso?17:08

jhutchinsctcb: Do they not have instructions on how to create a bootable USB?17:09
kn0thingHey, anyone have any idea why i'd have an initramfs pointing at a /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx when it turns out that the /dev/disk/by-uuid doesn't exist?17:09
jhutchinsctcb: How you treat the file is determined by how they set it up.17:09
daftykinsctcb: there is an MS program for making bootable win8 USB flash drives17:09
ctcbThey basically say write it to a USB Drive or DVD.17:09
ctcbSince my laptop doesn't have an optical drive at all, the second option is out of the picture.17:09
subz3r0why you guys just confusing him?17:09
daftykinsctcb: however, 8.1 is mostly designed for EFI boot, so you won't need anything other than the ISO contents to be extracted to the drive17:09
ctcbdaftykins, I don't know how to open the ISO.17:10
subz3r0ctcb: format the stick as ntfs and give the bootflag17:10
subz3r0then extract the .iso file with your favourite extractor17:10
subz3r0you can open the iso like a .rar or .zip  archive17:10
jhutchinssubz3r0: WHere does the MBR come from then?17:10

subz3r0standard ubuntu extractor ... ;)17:11

subz3r0pm me the result if it worked.... no time to scroll up x lines .... doing the dishes atm...17:12
snorlaxhey all... got a really stupid question.17:13
daftykinstypically the 8.1 ISO has a /boot folder with a bootsect.exe program to write the boot sector to a flash drive to make it boot correctly in legacy mode17:13
snorlaxhow do I restart gnome on gnome-ubuntu?17:13
Rorysnorlax: sudo service gdm restart17:13

snorlaxah ok. that was the problem.17:14
snorlaxnow I have an error this is good.17:14
jhutchinsctcb: Looks like they're right, this is a different kind of iso than linux installers use.  http://www.plop.at/en/winusbinstall.html <- pretty complete directions.17:14
snorlaxsomething crashed hard, and gnome stopped. It warned me about sending a crash notice, and now its in low graphics mode.17:14
snorlaxmight just need a reboot.17:14
snorlaxthanks rory.17:14
Rorysnorlax: yeah, solves 99% of intermittent issues17:14
subz3r0daftykins: UEFI installs?17:15
snorlaxi don't really need gnome on this box, but I like to look at configs using gedit.17:15
subz3r0ehh?17:15
subz3r0did you ever test it?17:15

Guest70826bye17:18
snorlaxwhat ..17:18
snorlaxdo they have a linux distro for that?17:18
daftykinssubz3r0: yes, UEFI vs. legacy - have you not done any OS installs on UEFI systems yet? they're quite different17:18
subz3r0daftykins: you said that my solution works only for UEFI, and thats bullshit17:19
subz3r0since the laptop was not with uefi where it was installed...17:19
john234How are all?17:20
compdocI cant speak for all17:20
john234great!17:21
daftykinssubz3r0: extracting the 8.1 .ISO to a flash drive and setting it as 'bootable' does not do enough to get it to boot in legacy mode.17:21

drpooany ideas?19:14
Milathats silly for it to shut down at 136 f. most anything i run will drag it up around 172. maybe theres a way to turn that off19:16
Calinoudrpoo, your graphics card is WAY too hot19:17
Calinouyou should keep an eye on temperatures19:17
Calinouit is suggested you install the proprietary nvidia driver to avoid issues19:17

snypoh19:26
LindyThingsnyp: after that, as you start tearing them out, you'll find that some of the things you don't think you need are actually dependencies of things you do need19:27

LindyThingsnyp: for example :)19:27

awesomess3hello. I have a 4GB thumbdrive and I want it to boot into Ubuntu 13.10. Should I use it as a Live disk drive? do I need to use grub? Should I use `usb-creator-gtk`? Should I just install ubuntu onto the thumbdrive? If I use it as a livedisk can I mount the rest of the 3GB onto /home/ubuntu?19:28
awesomess3I have an Ubuntu 10.04 and a Windows 8.0 machine.19:30
LindyThingawesomeness3: do you want a full blown linux install on it, or work it like a live CD19:30
awesomess3LindyThing, which would be better?19:30
LindyThingawesomess3: whichever suits your need. if you're just evaluating and have no need for installing packages, live is fine19:30
drizzle@LindyThing - do you work for Canonical?19:31

awesomess3LindyThing, well I want to install `wine`, but can't I do that on the LiveDisk? I think there is some space in the ramdisk to install at least a little bit of packages.19:31
LindyThinglindything: no, I'm a linux engineer for a major hosting / colo / managed services company using mostly redhat, but we support ubuntu and I've used it at home19:31
LindyThingerm... that was for drizzle19:32
LindyThingdrizzle: and i support my wife's Mint installation19:32
LindyThingawesomess3: you'll have to install things new every time if you run it live and install to ramdisks19:32
LindyThingawesomess3: live installs aren't really meant for what you describe19:33
LindyThingawesomess3: and a warning - i've run ubuntu on a stick before for work, and the solid state memory has a tendency to get shredded after a month of constant use19:34
LindyThingawesomess3: so just be aware that you'll be replacing that drive if you use it often19:34
LindyThingawesomess3: gparted will allow you to partition a thumb drive just like a hdd. It's been a long time, and I"m not sure about this, but Ubuntu MIGHT detect your thumb drive as an installable medium. If so, I'd just install it.19:35
LindyThingawesomess3: I've always used USB HDDs, so i'm not sure if there's any prep you need to do other than making the drive bootable19:36
LindyThingawesomess3: which you might be able to do in gparted.19:36

LindyThingdrpoo: that's what i would use19:49
LindyThingmadabyss: multiple users i take it? normally sftp works just like ssh, dropping users into their home directories and allowing hte same file permissions as they would have in an interactive shell19:51
LindyThingmadabyss: I've never personally had a reason for it to behave any differently, but I'd google "change sftp root directory" - there are a lot of hits in there19:52
madabyssLindyThing: Doesn't need to be. It's running as a VM on my local so I'm the only person that needs to login. It'd be nice if it could support multiple users but I only need to have access to the webroot19:53
LindyThingmadabyss: not the answer you want, but I'd just softlink the webroot in my home folder and double click into it19:54
LindyThingmadabyss: or, change your home folder to the webroot in /etc/passwd19:54
moraleshi, is there a command who can execute a program on console when we are innactif ? as the TMOUT = x close terminal when we don't use it.19:54
LindyThingmadabyss: then you'd always start in the web root19:55
LindyThingmorales: locally or SSH19:55
gordonjcpmorales: tmux, or screen19:55
madabyssLindyThing: Hmm.. I suppose that an option. Althought I think should be a way to define paths. Maybe in /etc/ssh/ssh_config19:56

s1ngl3c0r3Hello there, I have a situation that I am unsure of. I have an ubuntu server, I connect to it via ssh. I initialize a program on it, the program is running, and the cpu is working around 100%.  The question is.... if I drop the ssh connection, does the program continue to run? or does it drop when I drop the ssh session?20:28
Vaeciles1ngl3c0r3, are you logged in as root when SSHed?20:29
jhutchinss1ngl3c0r3: Depends on the program and how you launch it.  A normal program from a normal shell will stop.  You can use nohup, screen, tmux, or disown to keep it running.20:29
articsunEli-5dce:  hey20:29
s1ngl3c0r3Vaecile:yes, it is the root user20:29

jhutchinsxerty: Try /dev/sdb120:31
xertyak of course20:31
Vaeciles1ngl3c0r3: Because if that's the case, then you create a script in /etc/init.d/ to execute it when the machine starts20:31
Vaeciles1ngl3c0r3: Then you don't have to be logged in to start it20:32
xertybekks: right20:32

xertyjhutchins: it\s clean <question mark>20:32

slash_yes, this is the solution that right now I use. But maybe anyone here could run Office with wine21:05
jhutchinsslash_: THere is a commercial product called Crossover Office which makes it easier to run actual Office programs, but differences in versions are just as bad as the differences beteween Word and OO.21:05

ResQuetheleft: ye that sounds tright21:45
tehfoxResQue: but I think that only /proc/partitions is used when fixing grub.21:45
ResQuetehfox: thanks dude i will try it now21:46
jhutchinsResQue: Usually you want /proc, /sys, /dev, root, and /boot if seperate.21:46

hasseni don't want to return to windows21:49
hassenjust ubuntu21:49
belgianguyxerty: I wouldn't do that, do you have an empty CD/DVD nearby?21:49
belgianguyhassen: there's a specific LibreOffice IRC channel I think21:49
xertybelgianguy: I could drive to get that ptonbably21:50
xertybelgianguy: sure is best way21:50
belgianguyxerty: so you're on a live session atm, and you want to make an USB drive with another flavour on it?21:51
belgianguyxerty: I think a live session is loaded into RAM anyway, so perhaps you could make one, even in a live session21:51
Sianbelgianguy, finished my call. sorry for that, it was my mother21:51
belgianguybut cross check that with the people here21:52
xertybelgianguy: yes that's waht I mean21:52
jhutchinsmimarcu: There should be an init script, or you can call it from rc.local.21:52
Sianbelgianguy, ok, here I am , I will use MBR21:52
jhutchinsmimarcu: That way it starts as boot whether or not you log in.21:52
belgianguySian: gnome-disks should list your SD drive21:53
belgianguyand tell you if it was mounted, and have some options21:53
ResQuejhutchins: thanks a lot21:53
Sianbelgianguy, it does21:53
belgianguywhile gParted should certainly handle that, I usually can make do with gnome-disks21:53
ResQuejhutchins: thankyou21:53
jhutchinsxerty: It's theoretically possible to have a live CD image that will let you remove the disk after it's loaded, allowing you to do do things like burn a new disk.  That should be possible with USB as well.21:54
belgianguySian: can you select the SD card, and select the cogwheel icon?21:54
belgianguyit has the formatting options IIRC21:54
zzxcSian: Sorry, I was going to suggest using gdisk or fdisk, to parition it, then using mkfs.ext4 (or what ever) to set a file system on it. Looks you're working it though with someone already though.21:54

jhutchinstoni54321: Make sure the md5sum of the iso you downloaded matches the signatures on the web site, and make sure that the disk you burned matches as well.21:59
toni54321calinou ok21:59
belgianguyoops21:59
jhutchinstoni54321: The installer should work fine on an nvidia system.  It uses lower level graphics that are common to all chipsetes.21:59
Calinoujhutchins, it doesn't actually22:00
fabiooi22:00
belgianguySian: if you have gnome-disks open22:00
belgianguyand your sd card selected22:00
Calinouthe installer uses the open source graphics driver "nouveau", which _is_ accelerated, both in 2D and 3D22:00
belgianguyto the right are its partitions and general information22:00
jhutchinsCalinou: Are you telling me that Ubuntu has distributed an installer that won't work on an nvidia system?22:00
Calinouthe 3D acceleration however is slow, and the driver may not always be stable (it is a reverse engineered driver which gets very little help from nvidia)22:00
belgianguy2 icons left from the cogwheels22:01
LtRipleywhen i go to "Software & Updates" the tool just crashes, is that any priority in bugfixing?22:01
toni54321yes i want to make the modest instalacion but whe push the down arow nothind hapen22:01
Calinoujhutchins, it will work the vast majority of times22:01
jhutchinsCalinou: I'm talking about the actual installer.22:01
Calinouthe live CD/USBs use the open source drivers22:01
jhutchinstoni54321: Make sure the md5sum of the iso you downloaded matches the signatures on the web site, and make sure that the disk you burned matches as well.22:01
Calinouonly the command line installer would not use any real graphic driver, I think22:01

LtRipleyBeldar: in theory yes, for one package i get a 403 though22:02
jhutchinsbelgianguy: Wouldn't this be easier from the CLI?22:03
Calinouah22:03
Sianbelgianguy, this is what I have at the right http://i.imm.io/1lD8X.png22:03
toni54321ok boys what u thin that i have too do?22:03
LtRipleyBeldar: actually my intention was to change the source, thats why i started software & bupdates in the first place22:03
BeldarLtRipley, Hmm, I am wondering if this is not a broken setup rather than a bug.22:03
jhutchinstoni54321: I've told you twice.  Corrupt graphics in the installer is usually a bad image.22:03
jhutchinstoni54321: That or the hardware is bad.22:04
belgianguySian: is that gnome-disks?22:04
LtRipleyBeldar: it crashes... shouldn't it be an error message or something if it was a broken setup?22:04

BeldarLtRipley, Have you done any partial upgrades?22:06
Sianbelgianguy, 13.10, either way I found some other possible match22:06
LtRipleyBeldar: like in 'trying an upgrade and the power went off'? yes22:06
Sianbelgianguy, http://i.imm.io/1lDa5.png22:07
BeldarLtRipley, Ah, that is not good, I mean there are upgrades where packages are held waiting for dependencies, if run it can break the OS.22:07
BeldarLtRipley, I'm talking about upgrades within the release.22:08
LtRipleyBeldar: what do you mean with 'partial upgrade' then?22:08
BeldarLtRipley,  I mean there are upgrades where packages are held waiting for dependencies, if run it can break the OS22:08
Ilmen2Hi22:08
belgianguySian: that's the one22:09
belgianguyfirt unmount and then format22:09
BeldarLtRipley, The upgrade manager will tell you it's a partial, from the terminal it is more subtle.22:09
LtRipleyBeldar: if who runs what?22:09
LtRipleyBeldar: isn't the upgrade manager the tool that just crashes?22:09
BeldarLtRipley, Not sure I understand that question.22:09
LtRipleyi rephrase it: What is the upgrade manager?22:10
Sianbelgianguy, hmm, I can't specify format, just FAT, not fat 16 or 3222:10
jhutchinsmimarcu: It's better to keep the conversation within the channel, sometimes I don't notice PM windows for days.22:10
mimarcuoh okay22:10
BeldarLtRipley, there is a gui for updates and upgrade, 12.04 it is still called the update manager above that it's called software updatewr.22:11
Sianbelgianguy, doesn't matter, it seems FAT is FAT3222:11
jhutchinsmimarcu: Also, if I have to do actual work someone else might have an aswer.22:11
Ilmen2Why does left click over menu work the same way as left-click and trigger the action of the hovered menu entry? I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and when I do single right clicks on the desktop it creates an untitled folder, because the top menu entry is selected as soon as I release the right button, which is rather annoying22:11

Anyone know of any such utility?22:14

=== timo is now known as Guest51309
BeldarLtRipley, Yes I know, but your not knowing of what of some of what I have mentioned and a apt-get that fails makes me think you have a broken package stoppage, you also mention a power off in a upgrade.22:16

wadbekks, this time it didn't do all the kernel build sort of stuff that it did the first time. I ran this command: "sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current > n 2>&1" resulting in this output: http://wadhome.org/~wad/n23:23
dogmantikI get that feeling to hitsujiTMO :P23:23
wadActually, let me install openssh-server, so I can get output more easily... 1 sec23:23

dogmantiknot really, 60gb ssd I got for free, so its not the biggest loss in that way23:24
hitsujiTMOdogmantik: smartctl, but if you're getting that just connection then i'd say the controller is gone23:24

dogmantikyeah I guess its pretty messed up since I cant even get into bios when its plugged in now hitsujiTMO23:25
dogmantikis smartctl even something worth trying?23:25
dogmantikand, is that part of some other package? didnt find smartctl with apt on the live usb23:26
bekksdogmantik: Its not messed up, it is broken - electrically.23:26
dogmantikbummer23:26
hitsujiTMOdogmantik: yeah, if its doing that then it could even be an issue with the chipset/ata controller tho. but given that its a 60 gb drive then hopefully its just died of old age23:26

=== nils- is now known as nils_
dogmantikI think its a bit of my own fault as well, I was moving data from that disk to another while updating ubuntu on the disk the same time23:28
dogmantikand the screen just frooze and then this happened23:28
kosmo_daftykins: which loglvl should I choose? Well, maybe you know some good nooblinux tutorials I tried some but were not very usefull23:28
daftykinskosmo_: try 'error'23:28
daftykinskosmo_: then if that doesn't create a log with enough description of what's wrong, move up to 'info'23:29
dogmantikthanks hitsujiTMO, no use with smartctl as suspected though since the device wont even get a name under /dev23:29
hitsujiTMOdogmantik: yeah, hopefully its just the controller on the drive that's died and not something in the motherboard23:30
dogmantikwell, time to look into buying a new disk then23:30
dogmantikgonna try start up some other old disk to see23:31
dogmantikif its the motherboard i might as well use my laptop and forget about gaming for some time until i saved up money for a new desktop :D23:31

sfjI just got my W530 and I'm looking to learn more about Linux.  Trying to decide if it would be a better bet to try to optimize Windows for low resource usage and run VirtualBox with Linux distros, or use a Linux distro as a host and VirtualBox Windows when/if I need it23:57
sfjMostly considering battery life here23:57
sfjI didn't know if a kernel had been released that allows for similar battery life on Windows and Linux23:58
daftykinssfj: bear in mind that you have to restart a Windows host monthly for patch Tuesday23:59
