[00:21] There* [00:22] impossible, The splash you see when powering on if there generally has a bios and this other menu info.

[00:28] Phil_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. [00:29] ah [00:29] litropy: I'm not sure hmm [00:29] litropy: it should be fairly easy to Google? [00:29] pringlescan, Have you tried any other desktop installs in these installs? [00:29] the first 2 times weren't my fault, the third i ended up doing zfs on linux because I missed solaris [00:29] desktop installs of what? [00:30] pringlescan, lubuntu, xubuntu...etc [00:30] I did a kubuntu-desktop install after removing ubuntu-desktop [00:30] greetings! can anybody tell me how i can reinstall a lvm setup while keeping my separate home and data partitions? [00:30] gnome was a big aprt of the problem [00:31] pringlescan, so you don't think a lighter desktop was worth trying? [00:31] Beldar: I don't understand 'an issue that does not address is all. [00:32] Beldar: I don't understand 'an issue that does not address is all.' [00:32] Beldar: it is, everyone was using kde except one guy who was using something really weird [00:32] that used haskell for config files [00:32] Phil_new, It may be an issue that changing the password fixes [00:32] er does not fix [00:32] i don't really need a desktop, i'd like to run a browser, terminal windows, pidgin and an intellij ide [00:33] wm would be fine [00:33] i want good compatibility though, i hate fussing with things [00:33] pringlescan, do a met install and add what you need. [00:33] net* [00:33] I did except for when I did ubuntu-desktop [00:34] I started from scratch with a ubuntu-minimal [00:34] do a net-install and then install openbox [00:34] 12.04 lts, then upgrading it to 12.10 broke grub and the kernel due to zfs missing === guest436 is now known as impos [00:34] pringlescan, was that a net install or 12.04's alternative? [00:34] i booted from a 12.04 live cd and followed this: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-Ubuntu-to-a-Native-ZFS-Root-Filesystem [00:34] hey i got into bios. how can i make it show the buttons at bottom and boot into ubuntu [00:34] note, this is not the source of my issues, just the latest issue, i did try without zfs [00:35] is there any way I can get mobility radion drivers (9000 IGP) online? or somewhere [00:36] *radeon [00:36] pringlescan, I believe zfs is not really a developed to finished thing is all, kit is in a ppa to begin with from your link, [00:36] what i was told I need to do is chroot into my install and install grub from 13.x [00:37] pringlescan, might help if you listed the hardware. === Eli-5dce is now known as Eli-5dce_AFK [00:37] i know how to get in there, but how do I bring in that new package [00:38] impos, This a usb boot, and do you mean the choices of try, install, check memory gui? [00:39] impos, I can't tell at all what you mean in other words. [00:40] pringlescan, Get in there means the chroot? [00:40] I just need to know how to install a package from harding that uses a ppa [00:40] "You could try adding the raring zfs-native/grub PPA" — that's what I need to do [00:40] *raring [00:40] pringlescan, Your installing Harding? [00:40] ah raring [00:41] pringlescan, Get in there means the chroot? [00:41] i chrooted in [00:41] to my old system [00:42] pringlescan, once chrooted run apt-get update then load the ppa the apt-get update the apt-get install "package" [00:42] but i'm on quantal [00:42] I need it to load from raring [00:42] pringlescan: What is your end goal? [00:42] should cbanging boot mode to legacy support help? [00:42] help boot into Ubuntu [00:43] pringlescan, wont work unless you modified the ppa call to raring. [00:43] impos: Doing that would probably break booting of Windows, and should not be needed. [00:43] ok [00:43] apt-get was interrupted and has errors. -f install and dpkg reconfigure do not help, any other way to fix? [00:43] Beldar, I made changes to /etc/apt/sources.list.d to point to raring === hakr is now known as h[a]kr [00:44] impos: How did you create the Ubuntu USB you're trying to boot from? How did you configure your boot firmware to boot from USB? [00:44] I changed quantal to raring in the files, and I also made xxxxx-raring.list files [00:44] running apt-get update [00:44] pringlescan: What is your end goal? [00:44] adding the raring zfs-native/grub PPA so I can boot from a zfs root on 12.10 [00:46] crap... [00:46] I just did apt-get install ubuntu-zfs which will replace the kernel modules too I think [00:46] I just wanted zfs-native/grub to do the grub parts [00:47] I cant get a GUI when i EFI boot the ubuntu 13.10 live dvd, i can get to tty0 and i copied the whole /var/log dir. Could someone please help me, here is my xorg.0.log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6522651/ [00:47] pringlescan: It looks like all that the ppa contains is grub. [00:48] pringlescan: It looks like it's the https://launchpad.net/~zfs-native/+archive/stable ppa that contains ubuntu-zfs. [00:48] I think it may have something todo with my graphics card to drivers, i had to add the kernel nomodeset just to get to the tty console, before i added nomodeset i couldnt even boot [00:49] Jordan_U I changed both PPA to raring [00:49] so if I change one back to quantal [00:49] pringlescan: Why did you do that? [00:49] can I Fix it? [00:49] because I didn't know what to do [00:49] I'm tired and sick, not making much sense, but I need this to be done before I can go home and eat/sleep [00:50] lol, i havent restarted my system since I upgraded the kernel and im now upgrading it again. An entire kernel downloaded, installed and never used [00:50] pringlescan: No, use ppa-purge to completely remove the zfs-native ppa and all of the packages that have been installed from there, then re-add the ppa and re-install ubuntu-zfs. [00:50] i have a usb FTDI device and notice that when it is connected to an ubuntu machine something is constantly opening (and closing) it, i have used usbmon+wireshark but don't see any traffic, is there anything that usbmon would miss? [00:51] and only the grub part should be raring and the other part should be quantal [00:51] I'm thinking of just doing "debootstrap raring /mnt" and doing a fresh install of raring [00:52] but I don't know how the old version of virtualbox we have to run will work on it [00:54] well the alarm is armed in 6 minutes [00:54] that sucks [00:54] ppa-purge can't find the packages [00:54] pringlescan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:57] ppa-purge zfs-native/stable doesn't work [01:01] pringlescan: Saying "doesn't work" is rarely helpful.

I was running 12.4 and have done a series of dist-upgrades with a broken gui to 13.10; lightdm shows up on boot, detects 2 screens, but when I try to log in it fails, putting me back in lightdm.

[02:12] lxde [02:12] o [02:12] but as i said, i dont think its much difference [02:13] and xfce looks better then lxde [02:13] imo [02:13] ZIPY: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6522878/ [02:13] BrianH, neither are really supported here especially Security Onion distro [02:13] ZIPY: Yea, I use xfce too. [02:14] Beldar: Yeah, I was shooting in the wind. Asked on some other channels and IRC seems pretty dead tonight. [02:14] New build: asus z87 pro mobo - intel 4770k - 8GB of ram - 3 Asus VN248H monitors - Using integrated graphics - Tried to install the Ubuntu 12.04 on a clean hard drive using a thumb drive that installed the OS on this machine; so I know it works. It started to install like normal, asking my location and language, then it gave me an error with the option to proceed, so I did. I believe the error number was 10. Wish I remember the [02:14] number. Then it went on looking like it was installing but it all of the sudden looked like it was rebooting, and comes back up to a blinking cursor. [02:14] BrianH, You might try ##linux if there is no channel for that OS. [02:14] prices descend. [02:15] Beldar: Already did. Thanks though. :) [02:16] cliff, Do you think it might have actually installed, the blinking cursor is not uncommon on a reboot? [02:16] haha: a [02:16] I don't think it installed. [02:17] cliff: did you checksum the iso, and content on thumbdrive? [02:17] Not recently. [02:17] I can. [02:17] cliff, Might have gotten grub in the mbr though, hence the cursor without the OS there, can you boot the live session again? [02:17] Nothing is booting. [02:17] Just a blinking cursor [02:18] I can't get to the bios. It doesn't give me the option [02:18] cliff, It's not uncommon for the live to not boot, is the bios set to see it first? [02:18] hey guys, is there a way to open tvs files in linux? [02:18] Beldar, There is a per-session boot menu outside the bios. [02:18] cliff: You might need to test the media [02:19] I removed the thumb drive, it still goes straight to the cursor [02:19] how do I check the media? [02:19] kakashiAL: can you run "file your_file.tvs" and paste the output here? [02:20] cliff: there's option to check when you boot from thumbdrive. [02:20] ok. Going to check on this machine. [02:20] Stanley00: OnlineMeeting-4.12.13-Listen+MP3.tvs: data [02:21] ZIPY, sorry for the delay . You can force fsck by running fsck -y /dev/sdX [02:21] cliff, That is a uefi motheerboard [02:21] remember that /dev/sdX needs to be unmounted [02:21] if it's mounted you will probably break all of your files [02:23] kakashiAL: hmm, maybe your file is corrupt, the file command cannot recognize the format. [02:23] Stanley00: tvs is a teamviewer file [02:23] Stanley00: I mean it is a recorded season [02:24] kakashiAL: file command see it as data, so maybe that file is corrupt, or the file cannot recognize that format.

I've tried Variety and Wallch... but both have their idiosyncrasies and both don't allow me to have different images on different monitors... what is your suggestion Ubuntu community? [04:50] ctmjr: You mean http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2250? I don't see anything on that page about what has been made to work and what hasn't yet. What is lirc? === Guest46212 is now known as DeLorean719 [04:51] BTW, I am just interested in buying that card, but I am open to buying something else instead, if someone knows of a better, more linux friendly card [04:52] I don't find many options with this kind of product though [04:52] mi2deep: I remember compiz had a plugin for that, don't know if still have it [04:52] I use Gnome3 instead of Unity though... because, with extensions, it works better than Unity [04:53] Should I try Compiz with Gnome3? [04:53] mi2deep Have to back you on that. I've really come to appreciate Gnome3 [04:53] xangua: maybe in compiz-plugins-extra ? [04:53] Hm [04:53] definitely with you mi2deep..... [04:54] once I got used to the workflow of gnome3, I can't go back [04:54] With extensions, Gnome3 works for me [04:54] as for wallpapers on multiple monitors [04:54] I just cant find a really good way to manage wallpaper [04:54] it's a bit hacky, but you could always combine two wallpapers together into one image [04:54] Maybe I need to "rool my own?" [04:54] and wrap the single image over two screens [04:54] Ya that's too hackish [04:54] ;-) [04:55] And... I'd have to find a good way to make Gnome3 use a single image across dual monitors... I think it is possible... [04:56] But... [04:56] what if you wrote a python script [maybe bash], to randomly select two images from a folder, combine them into one image, then apply then refresh the wallpaper [04:56] no one can help me with my purple screen? [04:56] You'd think someone other than me has thought of this... [04:56] Ya [04:56] But what about the people with four screens [04:56] ? [04:56] Those poor people... [04:57] anyway [04:57] Thought I'd ask [04:57] threex5..... how far into boot do you get? [04:57] ANybody know where I could look for documentation on rolling my own? [04:58] (I already looked at bash/cron scripts on stackexchange) [04:58] threex5: when booting up, are you able to hold shift to go into grub? [04:59] ctmjr: You mean http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2250? I don't see anything on that page about what has been made to work and what hasn't yet. What is lirc? [05:00] edenist, I get to grub, then make my selection, and then it's on to the purple screen and that's it [05:01] are you able to select a different kernel? one of the older ones? [05:01] or is there only one choice? [05:01] edenist, there are other choices but they all go to the purple screen === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [05:02] although, when you said to hold down shift, I booted, held shift the whole time, it skipped grub entirely and now I have my login screen again [05:02] so now I am able to boot. [05:02] hmmm.... ok.... ha [05:02] odd [05:03] well, perhaps take the chance to look at your log files now to see if you can see any errors thrown up [05:03] in case it happens again [05:03] yeah ok [05:03] where should I start? what log files, edenist? [05:04] logs are stored in /var/log/ [05:04] the ones to look in are /var/log/boot.log [05:04] also /var/log/dmesg.log [05:05] tvin: you said you do not own the card yet how can i help you set it up? and i would by one from this list http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Digital_Tuner_Cards and lirc is used to control your remote http://www.lirc.org/ [05:05] I have dmesg but not dmesg.log, edenist [05:05] sorry, just dmesg [05:06] also /var/log/syslog can be handy too. But generally boot errors will present themselves in the first two I listed [05:06] hey guys, i've encountered a bizarre trouble which totally freezes the system, i made an attempt to trace it at least to make a guess looking at dmesg, kern.log and syslog, but nothing seemed strange, so knowing how to reproduce it i just `tail -f`ed those log files [05:06] and there is nothing strange so far [05:06] any assist or a hint would be appreciated [05:07] ctmjr: I don't need help setting it up, I need help deciding if I should buy it, if all its features won't work under ubuntu I might not want to. === Gary is now known as Guest61515 [05:07] only hard reset helps* [05:07] ctmjr: So all its features should work under regular ubuntu if set up right? [05:07] gotjuice: is there any system behaviour you can see which triggers the crash? or is it "Random"? [05:07] well, edenist, nothing jumps out at me as an error [05:08] I don't really know what I'm looking at but I don't see any lines that look like errors in those logs [05:09] edenist, not quite random, but it happens when i watch a movie via nautilus from smb:// share on mate from their repo on 13.04 with intel integrated graphics [05:09] edenist, vlc, smplayer [05:09] oh, you know what is different, edenist? now my wireless is disables === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [05:09] disabled [05:09] nevermind edenist. I don't think this was related [05:10] ctmjr: This site http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Digital_Tuner_Cards lists that card as "No" Under IR, and IR is the remote fuction, right? So is it saying the remote function won't work under ubuntu? [05:10] Why is ubuntu so slow on a virtual machine? [05:10] ctmjr: And I don't want to run it under mythtv, but plain ubuntu [05:10] three5x: no worries ;-) well, if you can't find anything, any the system boots now. thats good. Keep those locations in mind though, if you ever have an issue. Hold shift, go to advanced and boot to recovery mode, then look in those files [05:11] gotjuice: check your Xorg.0.log file [05:11] sounds like it could be X crashing [05:11] I just got my new laptop, yay! Now to install Ubuntu on it, as usual. But I have a question: I want to do a dual-boot with Windows 8, and this laptop has 2 drives, C is a 1TB, and D is a 25GB SSD. How will this work? [05:11] tvin: ok [05:12] edenist, may it happen that it doesn't have enough time to write the even log before the crash, is it possible at all? [05:12] wad: I assume you have windows installed on the 256GB ssd? [05:12] event* [05:12] 25GB, not 256. [05:12] I'm not sure how it's set up right now. Just took it out of the box, booted it to Win8. [05:12] (Wow, win8 is a pig.) [05:13] wad, make the recovery cd/usb for W8, then image/clone it before you install ubuntu [05:13] wad: 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 boot [05:14] ubuntu is the preferred OS for proud gay men [05:14] gotjuice: yes, that is very possible. especially if it's a hardware fault [05:14] yeah wad, I think you need 16 to 20 gb just to run windows 8 [05:14] Okay, thanks for the advice. I think the 25GB SSD is used for caching somehow. [05:14] I'll have to read up on this. [05:14] although there's a program called winreducer that's supposed to help slim that down [05:14] it very much sounds like a cache drive [05:15] it didn't work for me, though. I tried to created a slimmed-down windows 8 boot disk yesterday and it didn't work [05:15] edenist, on a booted system the tails from those logs during the crash hour =) http://pastebin.com/C5mxuGwz and no, it's double-boot system, windows 7 doesn't have such issue currently and i didn't experience it last year, it's something in here [05:15] thanks, i'll take a look. [05:16] nothing looks strange, totally === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [05:16] heh... .pastebins overloaded....

[05:21] tvin: what are you planning on using to watch and record tv with look on their website and see what cards are supported [05:22] gotjuice, yeah couldn't see anything which would indicate the cause [05:22] edenist, thank you anyway! [05:23] Is it possible to have grub-efi and grub bc bios on the same system. after install grub-efi version, i get the error "source_dir does not exist" when ever i run "grub-install --target=1386-pc" what am i doing wrong? [05:23] gotjuice, did you check your Xorg.0.log ? [05:24] ubuntu 12.04.3 3.2.0-57-generic-pae #87-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 21:57:43 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux CRASH. FREEZE....reboot....

[05:24] ResQue lots of info here.: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [05:25] ctmjr: I am not sure I understand your question. I plan to record TV with my hard drive, and my monitor, and perhaps a long hdmi cable running from my video card to my TV or something. And by "their website" you mean http://www.linuxtv.org? Even if a card is supported, that doesn't mean all it's features are [05:25] edenist, yep, nothing strange so far, current theory is that there is something with oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms [05:25] Anyone have a tip where I could look about creating my own tool to do automated wallpaper switching (either scriptable or otherwise) for multi-monitor? [05:25] Beldar: i have read this article, but this does not help answer my question [05:25] gotjuice, I would put money on it being audio or video driver related [05:25] ctmjr: I meant to say, and watch with my monitor and perhaps a HDMI cable running to my TV [05:25] ResQue, and I'm not sure you will get a definitive answer here to be honest. [05:26] edenist, seems like so, thanks for pointing that out [05:26] gotjuice, is your laptop one with hybrid graphics? [05:26] Beldar: what makes you think that? isnt this just a simple matter of package managment? [05:26] edenist, yeah, but it runs integrated intel one [05:27] gotjuice, oh ok, so you have it set to only use one? I've had issues with systems when it switches from one to the other [05:27] edenist, yeah i never play with unsupported hardware features, sorta habit [05:27] ResQue, 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. [05:28] besides i have the graphics for windows and 3d modeling software only, let it stay there until optimus will get the very proper support in next century [05:28] ResQue, In other words not hardly anyone knows it definitively. [05:28] Beldar: i think you may have misunderstood my question, i am refering to the packages in the repos grub-efi and grub2 not the spec or implimention [05:29] ResQue, Think what you like. [05:30] ResQue, does package manager allows you to install both on the same instance at the same time? [05:31] hi, i purchased and want to install 13.10 on asus f102b netbook, it keeps failing insallation- any help! [05:31] liam, fails how? [05:31] gotjuice: yes is it possible? it seems when i install grub i get either grub-efi or the pc grub version i want both [05:32] ResQue, 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 conclusion [05:33] gotjuice: i was hoping by passing the target=i386-pc or target=x86_64.eft it would know what i wanted to do [05:33] I rest my case lol [05:34] ResQue, honestly i never touch things similar to UEFI, i categorize them subjectively as evil and worthless [05:34] so can't help with that [05:34] gotjuice: lolz uefi is getting better, not sure it its worth the hastle yet [05:35] ctmjr: I am not sure I understand your question. I plan to record TV with my hard drive, and my monitor, and perhaps a long hdmi cable running from my video card to my TV or something. And by "their website" you mean http://www.linuxtv.org? Even if a card is supported, that doesn't mean all it's features are [05:35] tvin: let me explain you have a computer, you put a tuner card in it. then you have to do a scan to find the channels you can watch. then you have to have some way to play those channels. then you need a way to change the channels and record them. tv tuners are not plug and play [05:36] gotjuice: it seems the apt-get install grub2 will install different things depending on the current computer arch type how can i find out whats going on under the hood [05:36] well, sorry for delay, it does not seem to load after installation-and warning for low graphics environment appear-keyboard just does not work at that time [05:36] Beldar: thanks for the time [05:37] so do the ATI driver (open source one) just load itself when I boot up? or do I have to install it or something? How to I check what driver I am using? [05:38] ResQue, it should be like that, i would suggest to get better understanding of what is going on in initrd and read about the whole sequence of boot in context of how grub2 does in it's docs [05:38] gotjuice, I think that last post was for you regardinf asus f102b [05:39] ctmjr What are these "somethings" that I need to do all this, software? === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 === Heis_ is now known as Heis [05:40] liam, oh, is it the usual ubuntu desktop image you installed it from? it's shipped with desktop environment which requires 3d support, but i might be wrong [05:41] how can I set my password to nothing [05:41] tvin: yes [05:41] okay, it was from ubuntu site, sorry for my poor knowledge, what kind of 3rd party [05:41] floatingpoint, maybe it would be a good idea to share the main goal you're trying to achieve [05:43] so i have a laptop with an external monitor connected, i have it set to only use the external monitor, and in the power options i have it set to "do nothing" when i close the lid, but when i do close it, it shuts off the monitor and sound and everything, is there a work around for this? [05:45] ctmjr: Free software? [05:45] liam, 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 howtos [05:45] okay, will ask again later, thanks for trying [05:47] tvin: yes you should start to google now this is getting of topic for the channel [05:47] gotjuice: ok i think i figured this out. i instaled grub2 on both a bois-pc and efi-pc and did "dpkg get-selections | grub grep" and it seems there are only two files that are different grub-pc-bin and grub-efi-amd64-bin i think i can guess the rest from here thanks for the help [05:47] Beldar: ^^^ [05:47] *of/off [05:47] ResQue, np, i don't even feel helpful lol [05:48] gotjuice: wiki rubber duck debugging [05:48] gotjuice: sometimes just talking it through gets the problem solved [05:49] i'm glad it is the case [05:53] x [05:55] My system keeps freezing ever since last night.

I then switched to the PPA version, same problem. Should I go back to 0.8.1-1? What's the recommended way to downgrade a package? === max is now known as Guest52661 [06:43] AlexLibman, This is from a ppa right? === cheez0r is now known as Guest17298 [06:44] !ppa | AlexLibman [06:44] AlexLibman: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk.

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 not [06:49] No, haven't done that yet. [06:50] alex:check the version available in your repo [06:50] AlexLibman: another way, if it's just one package, is to just download the deb and install it.

I see the nice purple for a few seconds, then a black screen with a blinking cursor, then the screen turns off, and a few seconds later I hear the ubuntu "ready" sound. [06:58] Any ideas? I'd like to install ubuntu on my laptop. [06:58] There are two video cards in this machine, an integrated intel one, and an NVidia one. [06:58] In the BIOS, I disabled the NVidia one, hoping that would help. [06:59] Yes i'm interesting in knowing how to install latest Nvidia drivers for my laptops Geforce 310M card [06:59] any help would be great [07:00] hey, i chroot to my installation from livecd, i am in the root, i can do stuff as i have disk mounted. I su - my username, then i have error: locking counter and permission denied to open. I wanted to ecryptfs-mount-private and download some things from my home to install another system [07:01] any clue what to do to get to my .private if su to my user gives no permission to anything ?

[07:07] do you have an external monitor to plug in? it may be sending the video signal to that? [07:07] Almost... except it doesn't make the noise. [07:07] No external monitor. [07:07] I found a thread online, that is helping. [07:07] I'll let you know in a minute. [07:08] wad, no probs [07:08] Ah, simple. [07:08] I just needed to hit a key [07:08] then choose English [07:08] then from the menu choose F6 [07:08] and select nomodeset [07:09] TADA!!

[07:10] kevin__, do you have nvidia graphics drivers installed currently? [07:10] Ah, it's working with the NVidia graphics too! Sweet. [07:11] yes I do thanks for replying [07:11] wad, great to hear [07:11] I have Nvidia-304 [07:12] kevin__, no probs. How were they installed originally? Through the "additional drivers" section? or manually installed? [07:12] I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 on my laptop right now and the driver installed with it [07:12] So it was part of the isntallation package [07:13] ok 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 installed [07:14] so, you have to remove the current nvidia drivers, then install the updated ones. so, if you are on 304, do the following === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:16] kevin__, 'sudo apt-get purge nvidia*' followed by 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-319-updates' [07:16] if you are happy with the 319 drivers [07:17] which are the latest in the default repos [07:17] anything newer,aand you may have to get them directly from the nvidia website === zhang is now known as victorQ [07:18] Thank you very much!

[07:21] the idea being you run an application on the linux pc that captures the screen and wirelessly transmits it to a device hooked up to the tv where the receiving device does decoding / conversion to output to the tv [07:26] ciao [07:26] dowload [07:28] anyone know anything about optimus?

[07:58] it does sleep nicely when I select old kernel at boot (3.11.0-13-generic) [07:59] how can I update the path for `which` [07:59] ? [08:00] pahaloom: CHANGELOG [08:04] pahaloom, sleeps here with that kernel I would look around for problems with that computer model and that kernel to start with, or specific hardware. === terpaksa is now known as tahuJeletot === MomoNasty is now known as Momo|Off [08:16] I found a weird behavior on ubuntu 13.10 [08:17] When I copy a file anywhere(samba mount, local mount, usb mount, ...), empty data is generated first and data is sent to fill it. [08:17] crocket: You mean it preallocates the file? [08:18] buu, It seems to do so. [08:19] Hey guys [08:20] crocket: Ok, and? [08:20] I 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.png [08:20] only problem, when I got to that point, it's not there, only wipe hard drive and "something else" [08:20] so my question is [08:21] will it run if I just shrink the main windows partition and make a new one for Ubuntu? [08:21] uefinoob: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [08:21] okay that would require a reboot into ubuntu [08:21] not a problem [08:21] thank you for trying to help me [08:21] buu, How can I prevent preallocation? [08:21] i remember installing hardy heron many years ago on a real BIOS lol [08:22] crocket: Aside from the obvious answer of 'google it' why do you want to? [08:23] buu : 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] alright im in ubuntu [08:24] uefinoob: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [08:25] buu : even if I stop the copy in the middle, it actually stops after it's done uploading. [08:25] Well there's always http://askubuntu.com/questions/17275/progress-and-speed-with-cp [08:25] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/utRmtwa3 [08:26] The hidden partitions are a sort of recovery partition, I'd rather keep them incase all goes wrong [08:28] My only real question is, if I resize my Windows partition and make a new one for Ubuntu, will it boot, and if not, will bootrepair fix it for me? [08:29] uefinoob: You can always run fixmbr [08:29] I see [08:35] Man [08:36] uefinoob, Have you made the recovery iso yet in W8? [08:37] Why can't I stop a copy to a USB mount and a cifs mount? [08:37] Why can't I stop a copy to a USB mount and a cifs mount in the middle? === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [08:38] Because the kernel acts in mysterious ways. [08:38] Ineffable are the ways of the kernel. [08:38] Amen. [08:40] Beldar: No :/ [08:42] I'm wondering, if I run bootrepair, will it be able to fix it all for me? [08:42] hi everyone, is there a way to list the available sessions for lubuntu? i'm trying to make an auto-login but i don't know the names of the sessions, specially the one called "Game" or something [08:42] uefinoob, 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. === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [08:43] uefinoob, Have you looked at the uefi wiki? [08:44] yes i did but it never mentioned partitioning in the detail. i thought the installer would have the option "install alongside" as shown in the screenshot in the wiki but it doesn't :/ [08:45] I'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 bootrepair [08:45] uefinoob, It does with msdos, I'm not sure with gpt, however using the windows partitioner is safer. [08:45] helo world [08:45] Alright thanks for the advice I'll hope theres no bugs that wipe all my files [08:46] uefinoob, Don;t run bootrepair unless you need to, it may install fone and the grub menu will show both.

[08:52] whats wrong with the side bar? [08:52] I think this may be a kernel issue as I also tried latest opensuse, and it has the same issue.

I think I'm putting 13.04 back. Also tried 14, it just doesn't work. Also, upgrade from 13.04->13.10 broke the system gui doesn't work. had to install 13.10 over again.

[11:33] botsu, yes [11:34] in this case i find it pertinent to ask if anyone has a working xscreensaver because they might have figured out how to make it work. [11:35] botsu: work in what sense? [11:36] none of the standard procedures work. all proper packages are installed, gnome-screensaver is removed, xscreensaver -nosplash has been added to StartupPrograms. === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [11:37] botsu: so where is the issue? [11:37] i can only call xscreensaver-demo and preview them, they are not working with the system, ctrl-alt-l does not lock the screen [11:38] and neither is Lock/Switch account from the top bar [11:38] Rory: It works.

[11:40] yes [11:40] the demos work fine. the screensaver is not working with the system tho. [11:46] ActionParsnip: i can lock the screen using the Lock Screen option in the xscreensaver Preferences. but that's sort of a workaround, not an actual solution [11:47] that means i have to have the Preferences open if i want to run the screensaver. silly [11:48] node.js.nepal [11:49] how do I proceed if I want to `find ` a bunch of files and burn them on a CD? do I use cdrecord?

[11:52] Kartagis: i don't know any cli-tool for that [11:53] Kartagis: 13.10 comes with brasero, works well for burning .iso's or other data onto cd-r or dvd [11:53] Kartagis: cdrecord/cdrdao always need an image (or mkisofs and a pipe) [11:54] botsu: I'm aware of brasero, but I can:'t use it as I would lose a lot of time ascending into directories and such [11:54] hello, how is it possible to connect an extra monitor to laptop on ubuntu, every time i do it, both screens get turned off [11:54] !xrandr|pauser, [11:54] pauser,: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

[12:01] hrm [12:02] anyone? [12:03] hydra7: I'd only format to NTFS in Windows, NTFS is propriatary to Microsoftso for reliability I suggest you use Windows [12:04] ActionParsnip: that means not using gparted to create partition? [12:07] pauser: open the dash and look for Software and Updates [12:07] hydra7: you can make the partition, that's not a problem, but formatting it will need doing in WIndows [12:07] hydra7: Gparted will make industry standard partitions [12:07] in there, go to the additional drivers tab and check if there are any nvidia drivers for your card [12:08] pauser: ^ [12:08] botsu: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ? [12:09] botsu: ^ +1 [12:09] okay ActionParnsip will do it in Windows btw is there a way to add space to /home [12:09] hydra7: you can expand and shrink partitions as you need. Be sure your backups are up to date before yu start playing [12:09] you said you were on 13.04, just use the dash and search for Software and updates to install the nvidia driver [12:11] ActionParsnip: just backing up home folder right? would it affect the packages installed? [12:11] botsu: im using gnome-shell [12:12] hydra7: no the packages will be fine. Backup whatever you need. You should have a backup in place already, or is your data not important to you? [12:12] pauser: 'am using unity [12:13] botsu: so you mean now after restart it should work using dual monitors ?!

If fairly new, lubuntu might work. [13:50] vak;~ sudo apt-get install gnome-sound-recorder or use software center [13:50] vak: sudo apt-get install gnome-sound-recorder [13:50] gvo: it's a shuttle xs35, with atom cpu and graphic in cpu [13:50] vak: that should help you out [13:51] just for the record, im trying to record off grooveshark via audacity [13:51] xeberdee: I [13:51] philinux, JaredForTheWin: i will really do so, thank you, guys. However i am wondering how could it be that this basic app is not available by default anymore...

[14:00] usr13: i am ok with console, but my daughter not and will not :) [14:00] jony_easyrider, resizing and updating have nothing to do with USB. I'd suspect your USB itself has failed. try a different one [14:00] ice9, try a different icon theme. not all themes have all of the same icons [14:00] jony_easyrider: or try a different port (if you havent already) [14:00] ObrienDave, I tried but the problem remains [14:01] philinux: it is *after* apt-get install. it is ok now, I've been wondering why it was not installed from distro... [14:01] cfhowlett, none of my usb sticks are working in either port, and on the same machine on same USB port in windows they are working fine [14:01] vak: Her los.... [14:01] usr13: or gain. [14:01] vak: Yea, she gets you to do it for her. [14:01] fdisk -l shows me those sticks but they are not mounting automatically [14:01] vak;~ open a terminal and type in gnome-sound-recorder [14:02] jony_easyrider: reboot? [14:02] vak: So, you create scripts to do what she wont do, (so she can just click on an icon). :) [14:02] gvo, did not help [14:02] jony_easyrider, kernel upgrade recently? try dropping down a number. [14:02] jony_easyrider: does: dmesg | tail -n 15 show them in and out? [14:02] usr13: right. That's why we stay with serving and those who can't will stick to management -- unfair, rigth ? )) [14:02] jony_easyrider: when you last unplugged it when it was working, did you use the safe removal feature in your OS before unplugging it? [14:03] yes, I safely removed it [14:03] and yes, I've done kernel upgrade [14:03] jony_easyrider: what file system is it useing? [14:03] how can I downgrade? [14:03] ActionParsnip, fat32 [14:03] How do I remove the Find shortcut key (ctrl-shift-F) in the terminal (in 13.04)? The Search menu entries aren't listed in with the Terminal shortcuts and it doesn't appear to be a global shortcut. [14:03] jony_easyrider, reboot. choose advanced options or choose older ubuntu. login [14:03] jony_easyrider: have you fsck'd the partition, you can do it in Windows too. FAT32 is far from robust [14:04] vak: 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] philinux: 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] jony_easyrider, is this a wubi / windows installation or are you truly dualbooting? [14:04] *feel* (not fill) [14:05] usr13: they learn other things that techies aren't usually good for, sometimes absolutely not good for -- socially related stuff [14:05] ActionParsnip, because the version of ubuntu on which they are based are quite old, i'm trying to find equivalent or replacement command and applications [14:06] vak: social smocial [14:06] usr13: haha, right. [14:06] cfhowlett, truly dual boot [14:07] jony_easyrider, OK try the older kernel version [14:08] folks, If I my video card is manufactured by ATI, than why do I receive an 'Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' error?

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] kernel downgrade did not help, the sticks are not working :(( [14:16] I can't see where to remove the ctrl-shift-F shortcut in Terminal. Any ideas? [14:17] edolouglin: just don't use it and it will be the same [14:17] I need that shortcut for Emacs, so I can't just not use it. [14:18] a 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] I will reinstall Ubuntu [14:19] molqr: give A a fixed IP outside of DHCP but in the same network. Works for me [14:19] edolouglin: Is there and option Keyboard shortcuts in your Edit menu? [14:20] molqr: You know the hostname of the box, call it 'foo' you can just to "host foo" and get its IP [14:20] somsip: i see. could you give me some more details. [14:20] gvo: 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] molqr: For the other approach, give A a static IP the same way you gave it to B [14:20] Rory: thanks but what if many boxes have the same name? sorry i don't know much about networking. === bobdole is now known as _dan_ [14:21] molqr: It all depends on your dhcp server really. is it a home router? [14:21] molqr: change /etc/network/interfaces similar to this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6524937/ [14:21] Rory: sorry can't do that. I am on 172.*.*.* range... do you want me to give A some ip like 10.x.y.z. ? [14:21] I need to remove mono and install a very specific version on my server…does anyone know how to go about doing that? [14:21] Rory: no it is a university network. [14:22] somsip: thanks will check that. [14:22] molqr: 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 problems [14:22] molqr: Can you step up a level and tell us what you want to *achieve* - because there might be a neater way of doing it [14:23] hi to all i have a problem: the system wont upgrade more than precise pargolin, someone can help me? [14:23] hi all, I'm trying to abort a TestDisk operation that seems to be filling an external drive with more space than I was originally trying to rescue [14:23] not sure how to quit or if it's safe to ctrl-C [14:24] Rory: 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. [14:25] docente, you're set to only upgrade LTS versions [14:25] molqr: Why not just assign foo a static IP in the first place, thus sidestepping the problem [14:25] ObrienDave, howto unset this? [14:25] molqr: 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 it [14:25] molqr: Oh yeah do that ^ [14:26] Hi, 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. [14:27] Rory: 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] docente, software & updates, updates, notify me of new versions, change to "for any new version" [14:27] !zentyal [14:27] zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [14:28] molqr: I think you should just refer to this machine by its hostname not its IP address. That's what they're for :) [14:28] The 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 page [14:28] molqr: Give it a nice unique hostname [14:28] somsip: noip dyndns and FQDM ... will read up on them. thanks. [14:28] does anyone know any tools for benchmarking a network device? more specifically a router/firewall? [14:29] molqr: Find out the full hostname with "dig +short -x 1.2.3.4" where 1.2.3.4 is your current IP [14:29] ObrienDave, already set dont' work [14:29] Rory: 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] molqr: 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 Name [14:29] Rory: thanks will try that. [14:30] somsip: 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] for 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] ObrienDave, i have a terminal opened, explainj me where i can check why dist won't upgrade [14:31] molqr: then you'd be reinventing the wheel a bit if you did the same thing yourself. Certainly possible I would think [14:31] Sometimes I wonder if Rory really is a AI.. [14:31] somsip: yes sir. you are right. i will try to use the ones you mentioned. [14:31] docente, i don't know if you can change that through terminal [14:32] JaredForTheWin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent! [14:32] molqr: some reading http://www.shakabuku.org/writing/dyndns.html [14:32] But you are intelligent!

If I type the hash key, it produces \ [14:35] Firefly67: Go change your keyboard layout, it's set to USA by mistake [14:35] Set to USA by mistake? [14:35] I don't see any option to choose any country [14:35] Firefly67: Yes on a US keyboard layout, you have to type shift-3 to get hash [14:35] Firefly67: it doesn't have its own key without pressing shift [14:36] how to add space to /home in ubuntu? [14:36] ok, what do I do to make the keyboard type what it is supposed to type? [14:36] Firefly is from England. That seems to explain it. [14:36] hydra7: Is it a partition? [14:36] Rory yes [14:36] hydra7: Boot from a LiveCD and use the gparted program to rearrange and resize partitions [14:37] I don't see where I choose US/UK in keyboard settings -> keyboard layout [14:37] Rory: let's see [14:37] it says "Processing - Not Connected?" in the print queue [14:38] I only see switch to next source and switch to previous source [14:39] couldn't enclose the above in quotes as double quotes prints @ [14:40] Try typing @, then [14:40] Firefly67;~ system settings > keyboard then bottom left layout settings [14:41] oh, I have to click input sources to use - I choose UK? [14:42] Firefly67: If you have a UK keyboard then yes.... [14:42] Rory: can't expand from gparted [14:42] thanks Rory and philinux, now it works [14:42] Firefly67: Otherwise, no [14:42] Firefly67: £# @" [14:42] I chose English (UK) [14:42] Firefly67: shift 3 is £££ now?

[14:47] hydra7: Back up, delete them, create a new bigger one [14:48] <[Jano]> hydra7: Use gparted [14:48] hydra7: What is the other partition though, is it your Ubuntu / partition? [14:48] Rory: deleting /home? [14:48] Rory no just a empty formatted partition [14:48] hydra7: Delete that one then [14:49] hydra7: And expand /home into that space [14:49] empty one? [14:49] hydra7: yes [14:49] Whats the handbrake commands to convert from avi to mp4 so that I can watch it on my samsung smart TV? [14:50] Hi dondopa this is the Ubuntu support channel [14:50] dondopa: you want #handbrake [14:50] Rory threw an error saying something like 'We are unable to inform the kernel' [14:50] thank you [14:50] <[Jano]> dondopa: Use Avidemux [14:51] hydra7: err did you delete the entire partition table? [14:51] Jano I specifically have to use Handbrake [14:51] dondopa: handbrake is a GUI application, so there are no commands for it. Its a clickable application [14:51] Rory i just selected it and deleted [14:51] handbrake-cli [14:51] hmm..tried just a dummyfile to print, stuck at "getting printer information" [14:51] dondopa: http://andrebluehs.net/blog/converting-avi-to-mp4-with-ffmpeg/ why not use ffmpeg [14:51] hydra7: OK that's fine then, have you resized your home partition into the now free space? [14:51] I have to use Handbrake specifically the command-line one [14:51] dondopa: Why? [14:52] because my dad insists that I use the stupid complicated Command line version [14:52] Rory no resize option for home partition [14:52] hydra7: Can you take a screenshot?

[14:55] OK well there's not much you can really do hydra7 [14:55] hydra7: You can't resize it because /dev/sda7 is in the way [14:55] dondopa: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide [14:55] dondopa: I'd just get ffmpeg installed, ista tonne easier [14:55] hydra7: You could back up the contents of /dev/sda7 and delete it, then delete that swap partition [14:56] ffmpeg is slower than handbrake [14:56] accordingto my dad [14:56] hydra7: then you could resize /dev/sda5 as big as you like, and recreate the ntfs partition again [14:56] dondopa: http://wdtvforum.com/main/index.php?topic=1114.0 [14:56] dondopa: Why don't you go ask your dad? [14:56] Rory can i create swap partition too? [14:56] dondopa: yeah but all this time wasted getting the commands right...... [14:56] I am supposed to find out on my own [14:56] hydra7: yes but you can see, can't you, that you can't resize /dev/sda5 because there's no room [14:56] dondopa: I'm sure we are talking minutes of difference in result [14:56] If I asked him he would scold me [14:56] hydra7: Imagine they are real physical sliders, and use your intuition [14:57] hi [14:57] dondopa: good that you are being made to find out though, you can script it to abstract it to a single command when you get the actual command [14:57] I need some help: I have a mining pc and I manage it from TeamViewer [14:57] okay let's see will be back in a moment [14:57] balintant, mining - as in bitcoin?

In his case, the speaker was becoming muted. I had checked for that previously, but he lead me to consider the levels of seemingly unrelated items. [15:36] I eventually found that my "Bass Speaker" was set to 0 by default, but is actually mapped to my headphone jack. The level has no effect through the laptop speakers, but it is actually the headphone volume.

[17:06] dont forget the bootflag... [17:08] A bootable installer image is typically written directly to the device, not a partition, and includes an MBR. [17:08] subz3r0, I'm not sure how I actually open the iso to copy the things to the USB Stick. [17:08] ctcb: Where did you get the w8.1 iso? [17:08] jhutchins, Microsoft. [17:09] ctcb: Do they not have instructions on how to create a bootable USB? [17:09] Hey, 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] ctcb: How you treat the file is determined by how they set it up. [17:09] ctcb: there is an MS program for making bootable win8 USB flash drives [17:09] They basically say write it to a USB Drive or DVD. [17:09] Since my laptop doesn't have an optical drive at all, the second option is out of the picture. [17:09] why you guys just confusing him? [17:09] ctcb: 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 drive [17:10] daftykins, I don't know how to open the ISO. [17:10] ctcb: format the stick as ntfs and give the bootflag [17:10] then extract the .iso file with your favourite extractor [17:10] you can open the iso like a .rar or .zip archive [17:10] subz3r0: WHere does the MBR come from then? [17:11] jhutchins: ask your favourite search engine.. [17:11] ctcb: "file roller" does the trick... [17:11] standard ubuntu extractor ... ;) [17:12] making up a win8.1 USB as subz3r0 is recommending works only for UEFI installs, *not* legacy ones. you'd have to make up the drive a different way to work for those === bruno is now known as Guest70826 [17:12] pm me the result if it worked.... no time to scroll up x lines .... doing the dishes atm... [17:13] hey all... got a really stupid question. [17:13] typically 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 mode [17:13] how do I restart gnome on gnome-ubuntu? [17:13] snorlax: sudo service gdm restart [17:13] hm tried that. let me try again. [17:13] snorlax: do it from another terminal (ctrl-alt-f1) [17:14] ah ok. that was the problem. [17:14] now I have an error this is good. [17:14] ctcb: 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] something crashed hard, and gnome stopped. It warned me about sending a crash notice, and now its in low graphics mode. [17:14] might just need a reboot. [17:14] thanks rory. [17:14] snorlax: yeah, solves 99% of intermittent issues [17:15] daftykins: UEFI installs? [17:15] i don't really need gnome on this box, but I like to look at configs using gedit. [17:15] ehh? [17:15] did you ever test it? [17:16] snorlax: you can install gedit without installing the entirity of Gnome [17:16] i did it x times with windows 7 with NON UEFI [17:17] does anyone know if they are working on the login screen bug for the newest version of xubuntu so that you are able to change the background [17:17] oi === thunderbolt_ is now known as thunderbolt [17:17] hello [17:17] i want sex [17:17] no thank you [17:17] Rory: yea. I might do that. I'm testing out this thing called partkeepr. I really should jus tbe using ubuntu server. But I'll probably just X with gedit from now on. Not that I don't like nano, or vim. [17:18] bye [17:18] what .. [17:18] do they have a linux distro for that? [17:18] subz3r0: yes, UEFI vs. legacy - have you not done any OS installs on UEFI systems yet? they're quite different [17:19] daftykins: you said that my solution works only for UEFI, and thats bullshit [17:19] since the laptop was not with uefi where it was installed... [17:20] How are all? [17:20] I cant speak for all [17:21] great! [17:21] subz3r0: 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] subz3r0: it would require a boot sector to be created too, which your advice did not include. [17:22] anyway this is #ubuntu not ##windows ^_^ [17:22] NeoID: have you fsck'd the file system? [17:22] nope, but I notice that the drive-number is not in the correct order anymore [17:26] smurf metamorphosis [17:31] My Win95 virtual machine doesn't work. It says no bootable medium found. [17:32] Mongo44: i doubt that is a ubuntu issue [17:32] It is a virtualbox issue which is a program for ubuntu. [17:33] I think there is a virtualbox channel [17:33] are you installing from a cd? [17:34] I installed VB from the software center. [17:34] no, I mean windows 95 [17:35] that windows is so old you cant even surf the web with it [17:35] I thought I did not need a cd for it to work. [17:35] you have to install from something [17:36] hope you arent using floppy images [17:36] I don't even have a floppy drive. [17:36] Mongo44: you dont have a ubuntu issue. you have a virtualbox with windows95 issue. make sure the install media is set up propperly [17:38] I am just trying to install old Win95 games do I really need to install the OS? [17:39] its likely win95 isnt compatible: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes [17:39] Mongo44: you cant run the games in VBOX without a OS [17:39] !wine | Mongo44 that is what you want [17:39] Mongo44 that is what you want: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [17:40] I know about wine. I haven't had much luck when trying to install old applications. [17:41] Mongo44: yes, but you need to install win95 in vbox first before you can run programs on it === phil_ is now known as philwire [17:42] Well, that's a bummer. [17:42] hi all. is there a problem with the repo or is maybe a problem with my VM ... I get this https://dpaste.de/qcHy after apt-get update [17:42] f.e.

I don't understand the message, but OK i can join #ubuntu [17:44] subz3r0 ok, but why is that "Ign" there instead of "OK" ... [17:45] elmcrest: yes you have spoken english. but since there is a german channel to, there is no reason to talk it imho. anyways... [17:45] "too" [17:45] yes ok :) [17:47] elmcrest: "Ign" means, "nothing new for me - i ignore this repo this time" [17:47] IGN means ignore. in other words: Nothing has changed, so no need to updatee... [17:48] llutz subz3r0 ok thx ... i was wondering because there had been a kind of long break ... felt like a time out [17:48] elmcrest: you're welcome [17:53] Is there some way in which I can log in to the Ubuntu desktop over SSH? (Like, have the system start an X session.) === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [17:59] hi [18:00] hey, I'm using lsyncd to sync files via rsync, is there a way to also preserve permissions? [18:01] I would like to run a bash script in the earlier stages of the booting process. Which script or config files should I be looking for? Thanks in advance [18:02] rc.local is not of interest because my partitions have alredy been touched by several services === Siya is now known as siya [18:08] jonkri: you can do 'ssh -X' to access gui programs. I you need full desktop access, you might look into RDP [18:09] !rdp === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW [18:11] !vnc [18:11] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [18:11] yeats: RDP is Windows... [18:11] Rory: ah yes - you're right [18:12] D: Can someone help me? [18:12] I cant install ubuntu 12.04 without errors like crazy. [18:13] Milapurr: It's possible you have a corrupted .iso file [18:13] !md5sum | Milapurr [18:13] Milapurr: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:13] ive installed 12.04 before on here. [18:14] now my hard drive is failing and I need this to run [18:14] Milapurr: You're trying to install Ubuntu to a hard drive that's failing? [18:14] yeats: I don't have X on the client, so I actually want to start the window on the server. But I can't, because it's not logged into X. [18:16] guys if I'm connected to ssh, every my input is send as separate packet ? [18:16] jonkri: you probably need VNC then [18:16] quetzakubica: Check by running tcpdump [18:16] I can't afford a new hard drive and this one has a bad sector. [18:16] because I have big delay between inputs [18:16] Milapurr: I recommend booting from a LiveUSB/CD and backing up your data [18:17] Milapurr: I'm sorry to hear about your financial situation but if your hard drive is physically broken there's not much you can do besides buying a replacement! [18:17] Theres nothing really on the computer im using ubuntu for endlife. [18:17] It wont start windows 7 but used to run ubuntu just fine, i've done it before but I can't figure out how to reinstall anything [18:17] this is strange behaviour, I thought commands are send after "enter" [18:17] Milapurr: What errors are you getting? [18:17] Right now [18:18] Ubi-part man failed with exit code 10 [18:18] That sounds very much like hard-drive failure Milapurr [18:18] I cant boot into windows 7 without it hanging or without my wifi driver not working [18:18] That's because you have a failing hard drive [18:18] So there is no command-line program in Ubuntu that says: Log in this user to Ubuntu's display manager? [18:19] jonkri: You should install VNC [18:19] jonkri: That is exactly what you need [18:19] hey guys i have a problem.. have ubuntu 13.10 on my SSD and i made a NTFS parition for windows on my HDD.. how can i make it dualboot with grub? because now i have so boot either from SSD or HDD to boot in windows or linux [18:19] my computer is only seeing a 10 gb space on the hard drive for some reason... [18:19] boern: Boot into Linux, and run "sudo update-grub" [18:20] Milapurr: Because it's failing, physically broken [18:20] i have problems with grub2 [18:20] Milapurr: If it were a car, it would have its exhaust hanging off [18:20] Rory: Will VNC enable DISPLAY=:0 to be logged in?

[18:22] Milapurr: Just to make sure it's not this; when you boot from the LiveCD, check its integrity by choosing that option from the boot menu (press any key when you see the purple screen to access the menu) [18:22] If I get a new hard drive it wont have windows 7 and my computer didn't come with an install disk [18:22] Milapurr: You can get official install .iso from Microsoft's site, [18:22] Hello [18:22] for free? [18:22] Milapurr: Yes but you need to activate it still [18:23] I have an activation it's on the bottom. [18:23] Milapurr: You can use your existing license key to do that [18:23] Milapurr: You won't need to buy another Windows licence, if that's what you're worried about. For now though, I recommend you check the integrity of your Ubuntu install media just to make sure it isn't that which is causing problems [18:24] if i had another computer i would check integriy. [18:24] integrity* [18:24] Milapurr: You don't need another computer [18:24] Milapurr: Just to make sure it's not this; when you boot from the LiveCD, check its integrity by choosing that option from the boot menu (press any key when you see the purple screen to access the menu) [18:24] I have no irc anywhere else to stay connected.

If you can identify your Windows one (it will be something like /dev/sda1) make a mental note of that [18:53] its times like this i wish i didnt have a password on the router [18:53] Mila: If you can't identify it, paste the output from that command (ctrl-shift-c to copy from a terminal) onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel [18:54] Mila: I don't understand how your router factors into this [18:54] i need it to get online [18:54] Mila: Are you able to connect with a cable?

[19:01] LindyThing: i tried to use rtorrent and same story... [19:01] OK Mila You will need to run a chkdsk on Windows or risk data loss on that partition if you try to resize it [19:02] 1. Is wifi config per user? because if not, I can log in as the admin user, set up wifi, and then log in as the kiosk user and i'm done [19:02] Otherwise I have to edit config files or something [19:02] Mila: If you want to disregard that, you can pretend everything is OK by clearing the dirty flag: sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda3 === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [19:02] Mila: That will allow the installer to use guided partitioning to resize your drive and everything should be shiny and happy [19:03] denc: that's weird.

I checked out my kern.log and I see this line with every time my computer reboots: nouveau [ PTHERM][0000:02:00.0] temperature (136 C) hit the 'shutdown' threshold [19:14] any ideas? [19:16] thats 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 off [19:17] drpoo, your graphics card is WAY too hot [19:17] you should keep an eye on temperatures [19:17] it is suggested you install the proprietary nvidia driver to avoid issues [19:17] Mila, 136 °C... not F [19:17] drpoo: nouveau is pretty notorious for running mega hot [19:17] the hardware can be damaged with such temps [19:17] LindyThing, when it reclocks [19:17] when it doesn't reclock (fermi/kepler) there is no issue [19:18] drpoo: at risk of coming under fire, I agree with calinou - use prop drivers if you're not morally convicted to use FOSS [19:18] oh, thats a graphics. ick. fix that [19:18] Mila, it is harmful for CPUs or even VRMs too [19:18] LindyThing: OS:3.11.0-14-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 17:04:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux torrent client: Transsmision 2.82 (14160), error: Couldn-t bind port 51413 on 0.0.0.0: Address already in use (Is another copy of Transmission already running?)

Is there a list of stuff I might not need somewhere online? like so many video drivers and fonts. [19:25] drpoo: the instructions at the bottom might not be idea for the above link - you might need to flip to a console session, kill your X session, and THEN apt-get purge nouveau, then proceed to install the nvidia drivers as shown [19:25] snyp: sudo apt-get autoremove will remove all the things your system doesn't declare dependencies on [19:26] LindyThing, thank you! you rock!! [19:26] LindyThing: yeah, i just wanted a list of 'auxiliary' apps ubuntu installs that i might not need. i didn't want to search them all manually. [19:26] snyp: if you want to get more granular than that, you'll unfortunately have to look at what packages you don't think you'll need manually :( [19:26] oh [19:27] snyp: 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 need [19:27] snyp: most installed fonts are dependencies of either your DM or browser or office suite [19:27] snyp: for example :) [19:27] that.. could happen. mhm, gonna remove libreoffice i guess. [19:28] snyp: you might be able to crop out things that autoinstall with Gnome / KDE / whatever DE you're using, one at a time, without breaking the DE, then apt-get autoremove will drag out some chaff probably [19:28] can some how to inreface? [19:28] brb [19:28] hello. 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? [19:30] I have an Ubuntu 10.04 and a Windows 8.0 machine. [19:30] awesomeness3: do you want a full blown linux install on it, or work it like a live CD [19:30] LindyThing, which would be better? [19:30] awesomess3: whichever suits your need. if you're just evaluating and have no need for installing packages, live is fine [19:31] @LindyThing - do you work for Canonical? [19:31] How can I change the SFTP root? [19:31] hm. also need to delete the bulk of xserver-xorg-driver-xxx packages. that will be it for now. [19:31] LindyThing, 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] lindything: 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 home [19:32] erm... that was for drizzle [19:32] drizzle: and i support my wife's Mint installation [19:32] awesomess3: you'll have to install things new every time if you run it live and install to ramdisks [19:33] awesomess3: live installs aren't really meant for what you describe [19:34] awesomess3: 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 use [19:34] awesomess3: so just be aware that you'll be replacing that drive if you use it often [19:35] awesomess3: 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. [19:36] awesomess3: 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 bootable [19:36] awesomess3: which you might be able to do in gparted. [19:37] madabyss: need more info [19:37] LindyThing, what about 'usb-creator-gtk' have you ever used that tool? [19:38] awesomess3: no :( [19:38] snyp: are you low on disk space? [19:39] LindyThing, then how did you get the Ubuntu ISO into the 1GB thumbdrive FAT32 partition? [19:39] timo_ what do you mean? [19:39] awesomess3: what I'm discussing doesn't involve putting the iso on the drive as such [19:39] awesomess3: though that's possible, you're talking about a live install [19:40] LindyThing, or a LiveDisk demo === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [19:40] LindyThing: no. just low on bandwidth on the mobile internet connection i use when away from home. so updates will be pull stuff i won't be needing. [19:41] awesomess3: if you want to actually use the system, you'll want to make the thumbdrive bootable, then boot the machine with an install CD and the thumbdrive inserted, booting from the CD and selecting the thumbdrive as the destination [19:41] snyp: i get you [19:41] snyp: in that case, I think you just have to be careful of what you delete since they are all parts of a single package [19:42] i mean i can find my Screenshot [19:42] LindyThing, the command apt-get purge nouveau does not work. No such package [19:42] ok. [19:43] drpoo: dpkg -l 'nouveau*' | grep '^ii' [19:44] drpoo: that will show you anything you have installed that matches nouveau [19:44] drpoo you might need '*nouveau*' [19:45] or just nouveau [19:45] snyp: not sure if this helps, but "lshw -C display | grep -i driver" will show you what your display driver is [19:45] gvo: or that :D [19:46] LindyThing: I just setup Ubuntu as a development env. I need to change the sftp root to point to my web root... [19:46] I usually do it in two steps, dpkg -l | grep nouveau [19:46] LindyThing, I found xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is this the package to purge? [19:47] drpoo: is that the only match for nouveau?\ [19:47] hey folks [19:47] does anyone know why plymouth stops functioning after Nvidia driver install [19:47] LindyTing , see http://paste.ubuntu.com/6526367/ [19:49] drpoo: actually, i'm reading sites that suggest removing nouveau is actually not necessary [19:49] drpoo: so forget that part [19:49] drpoo: it wouldn't hurt anything and i always remove it [19:49] drpoo: but you don't have to [19:49] LindyThing, im going to give it a shot [19:49] drpoo: in that case, yes that's the right package [19:49] LindyThing, using this tutorial,, http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/11/nvidia-331-20-install-ubuntu-linux-mint/ [19:49] drpoo: that's what i would use [19:51] madabyss: 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 shell [19:52] madabyss: 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 there [19:53] LindyThing: 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 webroot [19:54] madabyss: not the answer you want, but I'd just softlink the webroot in my home folder and double click into it [19:54] madabyss: or, change your home folder to the webroot in /etc/passwd [19:54] hi, 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. [19:55] madabyss: then you'd always start in the web root [19:55] morales: locally or SSH [19:55] morales: tmux, or screen [19:56] LindyThing: Hmm.. I suppose that an option. Althought I think should be a way to define paths. Maybe in /etc/ssh/ssh_config [19:56] madabyss: maybe :) [19:56] madabyss: You can assign a chroot to ssh/scp. [19:56] Ok, i'll try [19:56] does anyone know how to fix plymouth after nvidia install [19:56] madabyss: http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20080220110039 [19:57] jhutchins madabyss: won't that chroot all ssh connections though? I got the impression he wants sftp to behave differently to ssh console connections [19:57] jhutchins: Oh awesome. Thanks! [19:57] LindyThing, jhutchins: That is true. I only want SFTP path [19:58] madabyss: That article also tells you how you could lock certain users down to scp only. [19:58] i would like to have ubuntu in cloud service, where to start?

[20:24] I asked this yesterday but I have to ask again. Is there anyway to su root on Ubuntu server? I'm really tired of typing sudo in front of everything. [20:24] jhutchins: [20:24] lol [20:24] madabyss, no. [20:25] there is a reason you type sudo for stuff that could be dangerous [20:25] jhutchins: no, it hangs when it tries to mount the disk, but the live cd can mount the ext4 partition [20:25] madabyss: 'sudo -s' [20:25] you usually do not use sudo, too, do _not_ prefix it to all of your commands [20:25] Calinou: I'm not but most of my commands require it. [20:25] daftykins: What does the s flag do? [20:26] madabyss: "man sudo" [20:26] Hello all.

[20:28] xerty: sudo of course. [20:28] Hello 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? [20:29] s1ngl3c0r3, are you logged in as root when SSHed? [20:29] s1ngl3c0r3: 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] Eli-5dce: hey [20:29] Vaecile:yes, it is the root user [20:30] where in h3ll is that confounded bridge [20:30] s1ngl3c0r3: use !screen, then you can disconnect ssh without stopping the command [20:30] jhutchins: fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb [20:30] s1ngl3c0r3: Do you want the program to run 24/7? [20:30] xerty: your filesystem is not on sdb most likely, but on a partition on sdb [20:30] jhutchins: MonkeyDust thankyou, screen it is. [20:31] xerty: Try /dev/sdb1 [20:31] ak of course [20:31] s1ngl3c0r3: Because if that's the case, then you create a script in /etc/init.d/ to execute it when the machine starts [20:32] s1ngl3c0r3: Then you don't have to be logged in to start it [20:32] bekks: right [20:32] s1ngl3c0r3: and you can leave and it will still run [20:32] jhutchins: it\s clean [20:32] Vaecile: Im not too savy with writing scripts, I think I will try the "screen option". Sounds like the script would be better, just in case they reboot the machine. Its a VPS, that I just purchased. [20:34] s1ngl3c0r3: The script is super easy. All you have to do is create a file called "yourfilename.sh" in /etc/init.d/ and edit it to run your program. === ThalinVien is now known as Guest68429 [20:36] jhutchins: after the failed update the sytem boots up with error / file system check or mount failed.

Thought I remembered Linux not playing well with AMD [20:47] So I installed Ubuntu on my new laptop. But I get a blank screen. After doing some googling, it looks like everyone who has an NVidia graphics card gets a blank screen when they install Ubuntu. >_< [20:48] * wad starts sifting through the forums, looking for solutions. [20:48] wad: That's strange. There's generic NVidia drivers that it should've falled back onto [20:48] those statements are so relative... i have an old amd 3200 with ati card working flawless on ubuntu [20:48] DAudioLink, the system seems fine. I hear the nice sound it makes saying that it's a the login screen. Just a blank screen, though... [20:48] hi, how can I know what is the default mail server actuall used by the system? [20:49] AMD cpus are always fine. I use them in VM servers [20:49] wad: Does the TTY work? Ctrl+Shift+F# iirc [20:49] * wad tires [20:49] * wad tries [20:50] Or is it Ctrl+Alt+F#? [20:50] I tried the first 3 TTYs. [20:50] No joy. [20:50] Any other ideas are welcome! [20:51] wad: Did you grab a live CD version of ubuntu or just an install media? [20:51] One thing I did try was editing the boot options, and specifying nomodeset, and that got it to boot to text only. [20:51] I installed from a USB thumb drive. [20:51] Ah so you got graphics in text only mode? [20:51] Which I burned with the latest 64-bit desktop. [20:51] DAudioLink, I'm not sure what "nomodeset" means.... I got a text login, and was able to login and "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" though. [20:52] Was hoping that would help it. === ubuntu is now known as Guest43804 [20:52] You can install the NVidia drivers/package from the console and see if that fixes it or uninstall them and try for the generic [20:52] hi all [20:52] It's possible the laptop has a heavily modified GPU that won't work without vendor specific drivers though.

[21:03] wad: WHat you need to do at this point is figure out what your graphical chipset is and look for instructions on getting it working in ubuntu. [21:03] ok [21:04] wad: lspci -nn | grep -i vga should give you somewhere to start. [21:04] It's a Lenovo IdeaPad y510p [21:04] slash_: oo or lo will work better with the documents, just keep them in the original format. [21:04] slash_: This will work better than trying to run office on wine. [21:04] I'm thinking I could just follow these instructions to install nvidia drivers from the console: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html [21:05] wwwwwww [21:05] yes, this is the solution that right now I use. But maybe anyone here could run Office with wine [21:05] slash_: 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. [21:06] slash_: Crossover Office is a commercial extension of the wine code. [21:06] jhutchins: sounds interesting [21:08] wad: Yup. Though running jhut's idea before you download the drivers to find out if the GPU even works with the Linux drivers would be prudent since the drivers are 200+ MB [21:08] I updated to 13.10 and system now won\t boot. \Filesystem check or mount failed [21:09] -dev [21:10] Is it true that Linux is virus proof?

Try setting up a chroot and running aptitude -f install. [21:13] Mongo44: Not really. But it depends on what you consider a virus. Its a pretty ambiguous term. [21:13] Mongo44. it is possible but very unlikely [21:14] xerty: Other than that, it's time to decide how much time it's worth before you just do a clean install. [21:14] jhutchins: Yes, me too.

You could even use it for the CRIME or BEAST attack on ssl, which was always the issue due the amount of traffic required. === nkts is now known as Guest5070 [21:19] Weeper: Also from ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [21:19] anyone has an idea of the cadence of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/Wanted/FirefoxDesktop? [21:20] I added some translations some months ago, and they have to appear I think [21:20] and they have *yet* to appear in the repo [21:20] belgianguy: Should be some contact informationon the site. [21:21] is Ubuntu good for Netbook Acer aspire one AOA110? On windows xp i had problem with SSD [21:21] jhutchins: thanks! [21:22] Weeper: if it has an USB port, you could try for a general idea of how it would work, although perfomance wise, I'd say a real installation might be faster [21:22] Weeper: you can 'try without installing', but odds are you are aware of that :) [21:22] but problem with ACER ASPIRE ONE is beacuse SSD 16GB is to slowly [21:23] XP was never built with consumer available SSD's in mind [21:23] i wanna try ubuntu on SSD, not live version [21:23] Weeper: is it just that the i/o is to slow? [21:24] Weeper: http://askubuntu.com/questions/1400/how-do-i-optimize-the-os-for-ssds [21:25] Weeper: all in all I'd expect Ubuntu to perform better, as it still integrates new technologies related to SSDs [21:25] Hey guys, I'm setting up an Ubuntu server to play around with. Which version do I want? The LTS? [21:25] whereas XP is pretty much EOL [21:25] Venko: Most likely yes. [21:25] hello guys, I'm trying to format an sd card with gparted and I haven't been able to. It fails to create file system, says that device is busy(it's not mounted). what can I do? [21:25] jhutchins: chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error [21:25] zzxc: So that's 12.04, right? [21:26] xerty: 32bit livecd, and 64bit installation? [21:26] Venko: Yep [21:26] what command will tell me a folders total file size, im looking for something like df [21:26] zzxc: Is 64-bit a good call for a server or should I go with 32bit? [21:26] ResQue: "du" [21:26] ResQue: du -sxh [21:26] Venko: If your hardware supports 64bit, use 64bit. [21:26] I would go with the 64bit if the machine supports it. [21:26] Venko: i don't think there's any reason to use 32 if your hardware supports 64. [21:27] bekks: thanks dude, normal i would google it but im stcuk right now in tty trying to fix an issue [21:27] Alright thanks :) [21:27] llutz: thanks also [21:28] hi [21:28] bekks: cheers. I'm starting again :) [21:28] i have ubuntu 12.04 lts , what program i download for itunes? [21:28] Weeper: I don't think XP had TRIM support so that might be part of the sluggishness. Depending on how old the machine is you might want to look at a lighter flavor. But installing ubuntu generally is pretty quick so theres no harm in trying it. [21:28] jhutchins: best to start over [21:29] XHEART24: itunes is not supported in other OS rather than Windows and Mac OSX. [21:29] Hi guys, Ubuntu 12.10, GNOME classic, Clock indicator applet - is it possible to keep the list of locations open when I click the clock applet? Here's what I mean: http://imgur.com/mAR39Zs [21:30] Sian: can you read from it? [21:30] ugh! no wonder i download various programs and do not work [21:30] thank you so much [21:30] can I use ubuntu startupdisk creator to make a USB with lubuntu, or another dist? [21:30] Sian: Its been a while since I've worked with gparted, are you comfortable with commandline? [21:30] xerty: I usually use Unetbootin, the startup disk creator often fails for me [21:31] xerty: it's available for Ubuntu as well [21:31] XHEART24: you can run it though wine, but then you're stuck with the windows version which isn't very good to begin with. === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [21:31] XHEART24: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347 [21:31] belgianguy: oh? well I only just recently started with it, but it's worked great the last 4 or 5 times [21:32] LindyThing: Haha exactly thank you. [21:32] zzxc now i run ubuntu live [21:32] xerty: Unetbootin allows to pick whatever Linux distro you like :) so creating a X/L/Ubuntu or even CentOS/Mint is all possible [21:32] why i can't enter WIFI password in ascii [21:32] ???? [21:32] LindyThing: great site [21:33] ony hex [21:33] xerty: it'll even download it for you [21:33] belgianguy: sounds good [21:33] Weeper: what? [21:33] XHEART24: for what it is :) [21:33] Weeper: is it wep or wpa password? [21:33] Weeper: Sometimes you need to prepend a: to the ascii text. [21:33] first of all i am an older person and just got as a gift an ipod shuffle, i am using ubuntu 12.04 lts [21:33] belgianguy, I'm sorry, had tyo do something. and yes, the files inside are readable [21:34] i need itunes for this computer [21:34] zzxc, it depends of the commands [21:34] XHEART24: iTunes is designed to work only with commercial software, Windows or IOS. [21:34] xerty: it's in the repos 'apt-get install unetbootin' should get you going :) [21:34] XHEART24: you can just rockbox your shuffle and put music on it like a USB thumb drive. [21:35] XHEART24: There are music management programs for Linux that will work well with iPods, but they don't interface directly with the iTunes store. [21:35] XHEART24: that's what I would do anyway [21:35] Sian: so it's not broken :) tried it from within the 'Disks' window? [21:35] XHEART24: I believe you can still interact with the store using a browser. [21:35] i am not interest in itunes store [21:35] belgianguy, I'm not following, from nautilus? [21:35] belgianguy: I'm on the live cd [21:35] Sian: Dash > Disks [21:35] So I'm testing ubuntu 13 to try openstack... How do I open the dashboard? [21:36] jhutchins, problem is ony with wep [21:36] jhutchins, what program you recommend for me to interact with my ipod shuffle me using 12.04 lts? [21:36] how can i change to ascii [21:36] i can only enter number is textbox [21:36] XHEART24: I know Amarok will work with most iPods. [21:37] Sian: live cd is fine, it should have that, too [21:37] XHEART24: Not sure about Exaile. I think the default gnome/unity music manage should work. [21:37] the dash is the upper most icon in Unity, with the Ubuntu logo on it [21:37] if you click it, you get a text box, and there I entered 'Disks' without the '' [21:37] belgianguy, I know, but there are various results, disk utility?disk analizer? [21:38] Sian: as mine's in Dutch, the logo looks like a hard drive with a wrench over it [21:38] i am downloading Amarok [21:38] belgianguy, here I am, but I think it isn't listed [21:39] belgianguy, a call, brb [21:39] Sian: ok, take a screenshot if you can, what version are you on? [21:41] Sian: it's called gnome-disks, can you run that from a terminal? [21:42] Sian: or launch gnome-disks from Alt-F2. [21:42] hello all [21:42] if i want to chroot and fix grub what directories should i mount -b? i was thinking /dev /proc but i cant quite remember [21:44] ResQue: I believe that those should be enough, I recall that I could restore grub with these two. [21:44] tehfox: thanks i am sure there was like 4 though, defo three [21:45] hey can someone help me with making my program autostart at login on my server im a ubuntu noob :P [21:45] theleft: i will give it a go and see what happends [21:45] ResQue: maybe /sys ? [21:45] !fixgrub [21:45] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [21:45] theleft: ye that sounds tright [21:45] ResQue: but I think that only /proc/partitions is used when fixing grub. [21:46] tehfox: thanks dude i will try it now [21:46] ResQue: Usually you want /proc, /sys, /dev, root, and /boot if seperate. [21:46] hey can someone help me with making my program autostart at login on my server im a ubuntu noob :P [21:47] hello [21:47] mimarcu: What program(s) are you trying to start? [21:47] mimarcu: typically things autostart on boot [21:47] writing in arabic in Libre office writer(ubuntu) is hard [21:48] arrows are reversed,and the cursor is very unstable and annoying [21:48] hassen: yes, it is [21:48] belgianguy: hi, i'm stuck remote with 1 USB live left and a dead sys disk. You think I can make unetbootin from live USB running sys to the same USB stick? [21:48] um well i was trying to auto start my minecraft server [21:48] clementine bugs when it is stopped, how do i fix it? [21:48] any one who knows an arabic text processor? [21:48] or an arabic language-plugin for LibeOffice writer? [21:48] xerty: hold on, can you explain your situation to me? [21:49] i don't want to return to windows [21:49] just ubuntu [21:49] xerty: I wouldn't do that, do you have an empty CD/DVD nearby? [21:49] hassen: there's a specific LibreOffice IRC channel I think [21:50] belgianguy: I could drive to get that ptonbably [21:50] belgianguy: sure is best way [21:51] xerty: so you're on a live session atm, and you want to make an USB drive with another flavour on it? [21:51] xerty: I think a live session is loaded into RAM anyway, so perhaps you could make one, even in a live session [21:51] belgianguy, finished my call. sorry for that, it was my mother [21:52] but cross check that with the people here [21:52] belgianguy: yes that's waht I mean [21:52] mimarcu: There should be an init script, or you can call it from rc.local. [21:52] belgianguy, ok, here I am , I will use MBR [21:52] mimarcu: That way it starts as boot whether or not you log in. [21:53] Sian: gnome-disks should list your SD drive [21:53] and tell you if it was mounted, and have some options [21:53] jhutchins: thanks a lot [21:53] belgianguy, it does [21:53] while gParted should certainly handle that, I usually can make do with gnome-disks [21:53] jhutchins: thankyou [21:54] xerty: 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] Sian: can you select the SD card, and select the cogwheel icon? [21:54] it has the formatting options IIRC [21:54] Sian: 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] isn't libre office a fork of open office?or both are seperate softwares? === root is now known as Guest45249 [21:54] for the firs time when i boot the dvd the mchine show only blac and purpur scren with small image doun. thats becous i have a nividia gfore grafic card. now when i make the boot the machine shou writet "ubuntu" only wthaut the instalacion opsions like "instal or try ubuntu". its intersting when i eject the dvd durring this time whith the riten "ubuntu" in the center of the schren the opsions aper imedjatly after the dvd is out [21:54] hassen: fork. [21:54] because i uses to see open office in old linux's [21:54] zzxc, don't worry [21:54] belgianguy, done [21:55] hassen, libreoffice is a fork of openoffice indeed [21:55] Calinou, jhutchins i see [21:56] Sian: what format were you wanting to format it in? [21:56] belgianguy, fat32 [21:56] xerty: the CD/DVD approach is certainly safer, as if you ruin your live usb, you don't have anything to start from [21:57] . [21:57] Sian: is the device unmounted? (is there a triangle showing as first icon?) [21:57] Naudy you're around? [21:57] (a mounted drive would have a square, a stop sign, whereas a triangle is mount it, a play sign) [21:57] for the firs time when i boot the dvd the mchine show only blac and purpur scren with small image doun. thats becous i have a nividia gfore grafic card. now when i make the boot the machine shou writet "ubuntu" only wthaut the instalacion opsions like "instal or try ubuntu". its intersting when i eject the dvd durring this time whith the riten "ubuntu" in the center of the schren the opsions aper imedjatly after the dvd is out [21:58] mimarcu: I think there are some examples on the web, I'd start with those. [21:58] mimarcu: Might even be in the /user/share/docs/ files for the package. [21:58] en #ubuntu-meeting [21:58] belgianguy, I don't know what do you mean with squares and trianglwes, but the sd is mounted [21:58] toni54321, woah, spell better, it's hard to understand [21:59] belgianguy: thanks for help [21:59] toni54321: 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] calinou ok [21:59] oops [21:59] toni54321: The installer should work fine on an nvidia system. It uses lower level graphics that are common to all chipsetes. [22:00] jhutchins, it doesn't actually [22:00] oi [22:00] Sian: if you have gnome-disks open [22:00] and your sd card selected [22:00] the installer uses the open source graphics driver "nouveau", which _is_ accelerated, both in 2D and 3D [22:00] to the right are its partitions and general information [22:00] Calinou: Are you telling me that Ubuntu has distributed an installer that won't work on an nvidia system? [22:00] the 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) [22:01] 2 icons left from the cogwheels [22:01] when i go to "Software & Updates" the tool just crashes, is that any priority in bugfixing? [22:01] yes i want to make the modest instalacion but whe push the down arow nothind hapen [22:01] jhutchins, it will work the vast majority of times [22:01] Calinou: I'm talking about the actual installer. [22:01] the live CD/USBs use the open source drivers [22:01] toni54321: 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] only the command line installer would not use any real graphic driver, I think [22:02] LtRipley, Can you run apt-get? [22:02] when this bugreporting tool then appears and i go on continue it seems to be crashign as well === shaun__ is now known as wafflejock [22:02] Sian: we want to unmount it before we format it :) [22:02] that's what I'm trying to explain [22:02] Calinou: The "live" installer uses X, but the normal one doesn't. [22:02] Beldar: in theory yes, for one package i get a 403 though [22:03] belgianguy: Wouldn't this be easier from the CLI? [22:03] ah [22:03] belgianguy, this is what I have at the right http://i.imm.io/1lD8X.png [22:03] ok boys what u thin that i have too do? [22:03] Beldar: actually my intention was to change the source, thats why i started software & bupdates in the first place [22:03] LtRipley, Hmm, I am wondering if this is not a broken setup rather than a bug. [22:03] toni54321: I've told you twice. Corrupt graphics in the installer is usually a bad image. [22:04] toni54321: That or the hardware is bad. [22:04] Sian: is that gnome-disks? [22:04] Beldar: it crashes... shouldn't it be an error message or something if it was a broken setup? [22:04] LtRipley: and the bug reporting tool crashes as well... [22:04] doh... === phantomcircuit is now known as PhantomCircuit [22:04] äh that shouldn't be directed to myself :D [22:04] i think that i don't have the time [22:04] LtRipley, YOU can make a package list here and change the repos with it. [22:04] http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [22:04] i'll get open office and use it in win7 then.. [22:05] * hassen is switching to Win7 [22:05] Beldar: what do you mean? === PhantomCircuit is now known as phantomcircuit [22:05] * hassen is restarting [22:05] * hassen : bye [22:05] ok ok but i cant do any thing with that infformacins [22:05] belgianguy, there are actually no exact match for a package called like that [22:05] LtRipley, look at the site, you can change the sources.list by opening it from the terminal. [22:06] isn't it still a bug that should be fixed? === szahrat is now known as archlinux [22:06] Sian: ah, that's too bad, then what version are you on? [22:06] LtRipley, Have you done any partial upgrades? [22:06] belgianguy, 13.10, either way I found some other possible match [22:06] Beldar: like in 'trying an upgrade and the power went off'? yes [22:07] belgianguy, http://i.imm.io/1lDa5.png [22:07] LtRipley, Ah, that is not good, I mean there are upgrades where packages are held waiting for dependencies, if run it can break the OS. [22:08] LtRipley, I'm talking about upgrades within the release. [22:08] Beldar: what do you mean with 'partial upgrade' then? [22:08] LtRipley, I mean there are upgrades where packages are held waiting for dependencies, if run it can break the OS [22:08] Hi [22:09] Sian: that's the one [22:09] firt unmount and then format [22:09] LtRipley, The upgrade manager will tell you it's a partial, from the terminal it is more subtle. [22:09] Beldar: if who runs what? [22:09] Beldar: isn't the upgrade manager the tool that just crashes? [22:09] LtRipley, Not sure I understand that question. [22:10] i rephrase it: What is the upgrade manager? [22:10] belgianguy, hmm, I can't specify format, just FAT, not fat 16 or 32 [22:10] mimarcu: It's better to keep the conversation within the channel, sometimes I don't notice PM windows for days. [22:10] oh okay [22:11] LtRipley, 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] belgianguy, doesn't matter, it seems FAT is FAT32 [22:11] mimarcu: Also, if I have to do actual work someone else might have an aswer. [22:11] Why 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 annoying [22:11] answer even. [22:11] gg [22:11] Sian: yeah, I was double checking that [22:11] lxle [22:12] belgianguy, thank you, I was able to do it :) [22:12] i just used you tube and i think it has what im looking for sudo apt-get sysv [22:12] Sian: glad to help! [22:12] my ethernet card isn't detected and when i type (sudo lshw -class network) i get the message network DISABLED [22:12] any ideas about how to enable? [22:13] Beldar: how do i start it? [22:13] LtRipley, try these two commands. sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get -f install [22:13] w0rmie: can you paste.ubuntu.com the output of "lspci" and "ifconfig -a" ? [22:13] *apt-get install sysv-rc-conf thanks for the help though :D [22:13] Beldar: what are those supposed to do? [22:13] w0rmie: lspci -nn | grep Network [22:13] LtRipley, run them and pastebin the output include the commands [22:13] w0rmie: What does that output? [22:14] jhutchins: I usually use GUI for tasks with lots of options, I find it easier to explain and it is a little more reproducible for those who want to repeat it later in a slightly different scenario [22:14] Beldar: what are they supposed to do? [22:14] anyone know of an advanced GUI based find and replace for unix that has features such as rollbacks, cross platform character support, macros, variables, etc, etc, there used to be one that I had access to on a unix mainframe about 30 years ago and it did an excellent job...too bad I can't remember what it was called! Anyone know of any such utility? [22:14] LtRipley, Those unlock a locked or update with broken packages. [22:15] Beldar: my main question was about that broken update tool, which i still consider an issue === timo is now known as Guest51309 [22:16] LtRipley, 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] rypervenche: after typing the command, nothing.. [22:17] w0rmie: Try it with sudo in front of the lspci? [22:17] LtRipley, The symptom of these crashes indicated this possibility. [22:17] hello [22:17] rypervenche: the same [22:17] w0rmie: Also make sure to use a capital N in Network. [22:17] Beldar: it fails because i get a 403 from the university of twente. To me it looks like my source has a problem, not me [22:18] Beldar: the two commands you gave me don't indicate any problem or anything to be fixed [22:18] LtRipley, Alright then I tried, carry on. ;) [22:18] thanks [22:19] rypervenche: oh yeah, with capital letter N (Network) ;) the message is: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0032] (rev 01) [22:20] Each time I do a right click somewhere it creates an untitled folder, that's annoying; is there a way to prevent mouse's right-button release to behave as a left click in desktop / browsing right-click menu? [22:20] Or perhaps it has something to do with my mouse [22:21] I do not have a solution for that, but I find it exceptionally annoying on laptop touchpad [22:21] A??> [22:21] w0rmie: uname -a and what version of Ubuntu are you running? [22:21] At least I'm not the only one experiencing this :) [22:22] Ilmen2: maybe your mouse is getting old and acting funny [22:22] It doesn't behaves this way under Windows [22:23] LtRipley, you can open that crashing software sources with this command and look for errors. software-properties-gtk [22:23] can someone help me figure out why `tail -F /var/log/kern.log` isn't following the log? I have to manually refresh it by pressing Ctrl+C and calling it again [22:23] how do I create a shortcut to an app on my desktop ? [22:24] gotchagotcha: -f [22:24] w0rmie: sudo lsb_release -a will tell you what version if you are not sure. [22:24] gotchagotcha: hmm, -F is same.. [22:25] CarlFK: yeah, tail will follow /tmp/dummy, but not /var/log/kern.log, neither /var/log/dummy.log [22:25] installed ubuntu 13.10 with secure boot enabled, but now I had to disable secure boot, and of course cannot boot ubuntu anymore. [22:25] I even tried `sudo tail -F /var/log/kern.log`, idk. [22:26] anyone know if there's a way to get rid of shim at grub? [22:26] rypervenche: i am using ubuntu saucy mini 13.10 [22:26] w0rmie: And what does "uname -a" output? [22:26] rypervenche: i've installed it in command-line mode [22:26] Linux s0cluster 3.11.0-14-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP **date** **time** UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [22:27] it's a DELL XPS 8700 with 12GB of RAM and 8cores CPU [22:28] Hi all, I am trying to install a driver for an audio interface (Gadget Labs Wave 824). I have to do it from source, and the README says to have /usr/src/linux be a symbolic link to the kernel headers. I've tried making that link to /lib/modules/../include/linux and the two in /usr/src/../include/linux but make still fails saying "no rule to make target 'modules'". can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? [22:30] LtRipley, this might be helpful, the mirror was working two hours ago, does the 403 have any mention of a missing key? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ftp.snt.utwente.nl-release [22:31] Beldar: http://pastebin.com/KdzevMYV [22:31] w0rmie: Hmmm, I'm still looking. You might need a different kernel. Can you run this for me, "ls /sys/class/net" and tell me what it outputs. [22:31] Beldar: i had the problem already days ago [22:32] LtRipley, Is that a ppa? [22:32] Beldar: don't think so [22:32] LtRipley, Did you add it to the sources.list? [22:33] rypervenche: lo p3p1 wlan0 (even the wlan0 is shown distabled using lshw -class network) [22:33] w0rmie: Do you have a wifi disable switch on your computer, or a toggle on your keyboard? === map is now known as Guest32151 [22:35] rypervenche: no i haven't [22:35] w0rmie: This is a laptop, yes? [22:35] Beldar: not manually, i chose university of twente at some point in some shiny gui tool === Guest32151 is now known as mappps [22:35] LtRipley, Can you run this command and pastebin all the info. grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} [22:35] Beldar: which is why i wanted to change it now, but the tool crashes [22:36] LtRipley, Having that ardour in there looks like a added repo is all. [22:36] w0rmie: Ok, not a laptop, I'll keep looking. [22:36] Beldar: i think ardour is in the main repo [22:36] Beldar: but the problem at hand is that the GUI tool crashes [22:37] LtRipley, May be but it should be a command that gets it not a address [22:37] rypervenche: entreprise workstation (Desktop) for medium entreprises with 2TB of HDD, 12GB of RAM, 8 cores of CPU 3.4Ghz each one [22:37] how do i enable verbose startup in 12.04? remove "quiet splash" int eh grub or is it something else?' [22:37] Beldar: i don't understand what you are saying [22:37] LtRipley, Yes I know a messed up sources will cause that crash. [22:37] w0rmie: sudo rfkill unblock wifi [22:37] Beldar: it should not [22:37] w0rmie: See if that does anything for you. [22:38] Hi all, I am trying to install a driver for an audio interface (Gadget Labs Wave 824). I have to do it from source, and the README says to have /usr/src/linux be a symbolic link to the kernel headers. I've tried making that link to /lib/modules/../include/linux and the two in /usr/src/../include/linux but make still fails saying "no rule to make target 'modules'". can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? [22:39] rypervenche: ok dude, take your time [22:39] i am also quite concerned that after this main ubuntu tool crashed, the bug reporting tool seems to have crashed as well === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [22:39] otherwise i wouldn't be nagging about it in here so much [22:40] LtRipley, I think you are obsessed with the cause, and not realizing the effect to be honest. [22:40] w0rmie: Try the command in my last comment. === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [22:40] just a guess, but things happen. [22:41] LtRipley, Sorry I have that backwards the effect and not the cause [22:41] rypervenche: rfkill isn't found o.O [22:41] w0rmie: install it. [22:42] Beldar: i consider a Segmentation fault always a bug, which cannot be justified by malformed input. Which i probably isn't even the case [22:42] LtRipley, have you run software-properties-gtk and looked for errors [22:43] Beldar: this tool will just give me a fancy python stacktrace [22:43] Beldar: i am not sure whether that is supposed to do that [22:44] LtRipley, Heh, you have all the answers, good luck. [22:44] doesn't feel like it [22:45] Don't bother posting to me I wil not see it [22:45] guess i made a friend there... [22:45] hi! [22:46] \q [22:47] ... the tool i am supposed to run is the one i reported to be crashing in the first place.... [22:49] i would report the bug to launchpad, but those bugs i reported there were just lying around for a couple of years just to be closed because 'the version is not supported anymore' [22:53] hello all [22:54] hello [22:58] Hello. Ubuntu server 12.04 (i think ... it's running kernel 3.2.0-generic) ... I have a scrip I was running on a rehat based box (kernel 2.4.?) that used ipcalc -n to return the network. ipcalc on Ubuntu is waaaaay different. I need to find a version of ipcalc that works like the one on redhat so I can move the script to a Ubuntu server box ... any ideas? === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [23:00] http://pastebin.com/RSSy0G7N [23:01] this is the stacktrace i get from software-properties-gtk [23:01] what does nemo use to find network shares? (samba shares in particular) [23:01] can find my Screenshot shoul hav camer ? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:03] schultza: what do you mean? [23:06] im trying to troubleshoot a samba issue. nemo is only seeing so many smb servers. yet.. nbtscan sees more. [23:07] thats more a nemo issue then :) [23:07] I'm trying to get my new install of Ubuntu to work, but by screen is blank on boot. It's an NVidia video card. Googling showed me this, so I'm trying method #2: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html [23:07] same with ubuntu default file browser too [23:08] !nomodeset | wad [23:08] wad: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:08] Yes, that's how I can get to a shell: nomodeset. But I don't get X. [23:08] Only shell. [23:08] I'll read that link, though. [23:10] Okay, yeah, so I use nomodeset to get to a shell, and I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers from the shell, using method 2 from the link: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html [23:10] But the driver doesn't seem to be appearing in the kernel. [23:10] HEllo there lads!! Does anyone here have idea on the REMOVAL OF "NVIDIAFB" [23:10] modprobe fails. [23:10] Can't find the driver. [23:11] Hi, I just installed my first ubuntu server, with deluge on, and my problem is I cant't download torrents. I can add torrent then it appears on downlaoding but got 0% all time. I guess its connected with permissions but did not found any helpful informations. [23:11] wad: then it isnt installed. [23:11] Yes, that's the same conclusion I've come to. [23:11] wad: which ubuntu do you have? [23:11] 13.10 [23:11] the latest and greatest! [23:11] :) [23:12] kosmo_: did you pick a path within /home/username/ to download to? [23:12] wad: name the version please. [23:12] sudo apt-get install nvidia-current #### that command did a bunch of stuff [23:12] Someone has idea on removing nvidiafb? (super old non-ubuntu nvidia driver that gets installed even though i format the whole drive and it should not be included in 12.04) [23:12] ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso [23:12] bekks ^^^ === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [23:14] daftykins: I tried different paths, and all didn't work I tried /home/myusername, triend /home/deluge/ ( I created seluge user before installation as guide said) [23:14] kosmo_: so are you sure you didn't miss anything in the guide? [23:15] wad: pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current" please. [23:15] Okay! Give me a moment. === Hassen is now known as Adran_Hassen [23:16] daftykins: I'm quite sure, what is more downlaod feature was working some time ago, but I had to do some server reboots and I changed destination folder as it stops. [23:16] kosmo_: are you using a known-good test torrent like an ubuntu one? [23:17] :q [23:17] http://askubuntu.com/questions/365958/error-while-running-software-related-programs-expected-gobject-object-but-got [23:17] looks like others have the same problem [23:18] daftykins: Im using torrent which I tested the same time on another machine, private tracker if it matters. [23:18] kosmo_: so try a public ubuntu one for sanity's sake [23:20] daftykins: still 0 kb/s [23:20] good morning... [23:21] kosmo_: well, i'm not familiar with that client to know if it has any errors to tell you of. are you behind a normal residential internet connection? === Ajar is now known as Ajarm [23:21] hello, not really ubuntu problem, but hoping someone might help me out, this happened when I was upgrading ubuntu to 13.10 now [23:22] daftykins: Im behind notebook with ssh acces to server, its in my house. [23:22] the screen frooze and I restarted my computer in the middle of upgrade, it wouldnt boot [23:22] so I figured time to reformat [23:22] but now my computer wont start with my harddrive connected [23:22] cant even get to bios when its connected [23:23] now im on ubuntu live usb, when i plug in my disk i get errors like [23:23] [ 191.344575] ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4080000 action 0xe frozen [23:23] [ 191.344587] ata1: irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed [23:23] [ 191.344595] ata1: SError: { 10B8B DevExch } [23:23] [ 191.344608] ata1: hard resetting link [23:23] [ 201.350731] ata1: softreset failed (1st FIS failed) [23:23] dogmantik: sounds like the drive fried [23:23] dogmantik: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:23] bekks, 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/n [23:23] I get that feeling to hitsujiTMO :P [23:23] Actually, let me install openssh-server, so I can get output more easily... 1 sec [23:24] dogmantik: i hope its not new [23:24] do you know if theres some way to test the hard drive? [23:24] kosmo_: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq#EnableDelugeLogging [23:24] seems worth a go [23:24] http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq#EnableDelugeLogging [23:24] not really, 60gb ssd I got for free, so its not the biggest loss in that way [23:24] dogmantik: smartctl, but if you're getting that just connection then i'd say the controller is gone [23:24] http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq#EnableDelugeLogging [23:24] http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq#EnableDelugeLogging [23:24] but I was hoping to install new ubuntu today :D [23:24] sorry [23:24] kosmo_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:25] Ah, much better. Now I can do stuff faster on the command line! === talsamon is now known as Guest45070 [23:25] its my first time with irssi sr floodbot [23:25] yeah I guess its pretty messed up since I cant even get into bios when its plugged in now hitsujiTMO [23:25] is smartctl even something worth trying? [23:26] and, is that part of some other package? didnt find smartctl with apt on the live usb [23:26] dogmantik: Its not messed up, it is broken - electrically. [23:26] bummer [23:26] dogmantik: 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 age [23:27] dogmantik: smartmontools iirc === nils- is now known as nils_ [23:28] I 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 time [23:28] and the screen just frooze and then this happened [23:28] daftykins: which loglvl should I choose? Well, maybe you know some good nooblinux tutorials I tried some but were not very usefull [23:28] kosmo_: try 'error' [23:29] kosmo_: then if that doesn't create a log with enough description of what's wrong, move up to 'info' [23:29] thanks hitsujiTMO, no use with smartctl as suspected though since the device wont even get a name under /dev [23:30] dogmantik: yeah, hopefully its just the controller on the drive that's died and not something in the motherboard [23:30] well, time to look into buying a new disk then [23:31] gonna try start up some other old disk to see [23:31] if 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 :D [23:32] well, thanks for your help hitsujiTMO, time to do some testing === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY [23:35] bekks, got any suggestions for me to try, for getting my nvidia drivers installed? [23:35] bekks, I'm in a much better position to do stuff now, can ssh into the machine. :) [23:35] wad: What is your video card? [23:35] wad: pastebin the requested information. [23:36] wad: What does lspci say about it? [23:36] bekks, here is the output of that command: http://wadhome.org/~wad/n [23:36] daftykins: its like: deluge is not installed yet, :sudo deluge - command not found; I used deluged command with result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6527265/ [23:36] usr13, let me get the name, 1 sec [23:36] wad: And please pastebin "sudo modprobe nvidia; dmesg" please. === haha is now known as wahaha [23:37] NVIDIA GeForce GT755M GDDR5 2GB [23:38] usr13, that's the video card [23:38] wad: do you have an Optimus system? [23:38] bekks, no, I don't think so. Not sure what that is. [23:39] wad: a hybrid graphics system, consisting of an intel and nvidia GPU. [23:39] getting dmesg === james is now known as Guest14851 [23:40] ah [23:40] Here is the output of dmesg: http://wadhome.org/~wad/d === wahaha is now known as haha [23:41] kosmo_: but you did install it? you're using it via its' web admin page, right? [23:41] wad: the kernel module is loaded. [23:41] What would be causing "Display" to open every time my screen brightness changes? I'm using Xubuntu 13.04, 32 bit, on an HP Envy M6 [23:41] Aha! === Guest14851 is now known as jintonation [23:41] wad: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia*list | pastebinit [23:41] ok [23:41] daftykins: I can use via webadmin page, but I use deamon client [23:42] /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-304.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-current.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-settings-304.list [23:42] usr13, it fit on one line, so I just put it in-channel. Same number of lines as a pastebin link. [23:42] kosmo_: i don't follow. you know that to run it with debug logging you have to stop it and run it again with the logging on? [23:43] daftykins: well I didn't know that. Letme try again. [23:43] I just installed pastebinit, what a good idea! [23:44] what is the best solution tu install apache+mysql+php all [23:44] Hi, If I install an older stable compiz FM and compositor, like 0.8.8 in a newer Xubuntu 14.04 when it comes out or in Debian Testing Xfce, will those update to newer versions of compiz, without my requesting that? (Newer versions are not stable according to the site) http://wiki.compiz.org/Installation === Adran_Hassen is now known as Hassen [23:45] wad: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [23:45] ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso [23:45] wad: Fully updated? [23:45] Yes [23:46] wad: sudo apt-get remove nvidia* ; go to nvidia.com ; download correct installer ; turn off X with command sudo service lightdm stop ; run installer ; reboot [23:46] What would be causing "Display" to open every time my screen brightness changes [23:46] Okay, I'll do it! [23:46] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6527297/ === brandon is now known as Guest70605 [23:47] usr13, I have no X on the machine right now, only shell. [23:48] wad: remove nvidia drivers ; rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; restart X, or reboot [23:48] Okay! [23:48] kosmo_: yeah that suggests it's still running. sorry but i don't think you know enough about general operation for me to help further [23:49] daftykins: :( ok no problem, but my last question is can you possibly give me some guidlines? [23:49] daftykins: I mean tutorials or smth or good website [23:49] i don't know of any, sorry :( [23:50] daftykins: lol, so how you got to know Linux? [23:51] usr13, I hope this installer can run from the command line, and not need X running.... [23:51] kosmo_: university [23:51] and i wouldn't really say i know it as well as i'd like [23:51] nowhere near [23:52] wad: Are you 32bit or 64bit? [23:52] but anyway this is off topic for this channel unfortunately [23:52] 64 [23:53] wad: http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/331.20/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20.run&lang=us&type=GeForce [23:53] Yup , that's the one I got. [23:53] Running it now. [23:53] wad: Good. It should work for you. Trun off the X server and run the installer. [23:54] Should I run it as root? [23:54] wad: But uninstall all other nvidia packages first and reboot. [23:54] I just tried that, and it hated me. [23:54] Ah, okay. === timo is now known as Guest58472 [23:54] * wad does that [23:54] wad: You just tried what? [23:54] usr13, I made it executable, and ran it as root. [23:55] But I hadn't rebooted since removing the old nvidia stuff.... doing that now. [23:55] I'll try running it as my user next. [23:55] damn it boots fast. [23:56] Any laptop users here? [23:56] lol, it must be run as root. [23:56] * wad does that. [23:56] wad: Correct [23:57] I 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 it [23:57] Mostly considering battery life here [23:58] I didn't know if a kernel had been released that allows for similar battery life on Windows and Linux [23:59] sfj: bear in mind that you have to restart a Windows host monthly for patch Tuesday
