[00:01] Beldar: the problem is I can't enable seconds - a symptom of the cause: the 'x [00:01] er [00:01] the [x]seconds option is disabled in the gui (along with most of the options) [00:02] CarlFK, generally no help comes down to bad descriptions and lack of details. and let me repeat I do not know of ant fix.

[00:09] Payton, I have always had ubuntu boot in a vbox so not sure of any options beyond making sure the iso is good. [00:09] Is a single iteration enough when using shred to wipe a HD? [00:10] MonkeyHobo: depends on who is trying to dig ;) [00:10] Probably no one, it's just an old wreck i'm giving away to a friend. [00:11] I'm just curious since I can't see how a bit could ever be anything else than 1 or 0. If it's been written as 0 once how could anyone ever dig up what was there before? [00:12] MonkeyHobo, I think your fine, run testdisk on it to see what shows [00:12] MonkeyHobo: bits are 0/1, but a pile of iron shavings can be all sorts of things === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [00:13] "iron shavings"? [00:14] MonkeyHobo: what the bits are saved in (the stuff on the spinny disk) [00:15] Hmmm, still baffles me that it's possible to regain prior bits... [00:15] MonkeyHobo, There is legit research on this issue, uh you wont find it here. [00:15] I don't doubt that, it's just beyond my knowledge... [00:16] MonkeyHobo, You will get subjective assumed opinions here, hardly worth the time to be honest [00:16] Anyway, I have limited time and the HD is 500 gigs, so I guess 1 iteration is all I got... [00:16] MonkeyHobo: start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_forensics [00:18] So when I'm burning, or attempting to burn, an audio CD with Brasero, why does Brasero just freeze at "Normalizing Tracks" and never actually do anything? When running it from a terminal, the only output I get occurs when adding any track which is: "** (brasero:15692): CRITICAL **: brasero_track_type_equal: assertion 'type_B != NULL' failed" [00:19] Hi everyone. Quick question. I installed Ubuntu Server on my laptop, and need to convert it to just a desktop operating system. (Don't ask why I didn't just install from a Live CD, as that's another issue entirely). Is it just a matter of installing ubuntu-desktop, and then purging ubuntu-server? [00:20] PatrickDickey: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and install a desktop kernel. [00:20] bekks: The kernel that installed is a generic (both the regular 3.11-14-generic and 3.11-14-extras-generic). Do I need a different one? [00:21] PatrickDickey: just install ubuntu-desktop and make sure lightdm ist installed [00:21] I'm getting a message saying "this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU, unable to boot." [00:21] there is no difference in server and desktop kernel anymore [00:21] I installed the right version and I am using a 64 bit [00:22] Using VBox though... [00:22] Payton: You might have to check BIOS to make sure that the AMD-V or VT (Intel's version of virtualization) are enabled. [00:22] PatrickDickey: ? [00:22] PatrickDickey: Sorry, I'm new to ubuntu and used to Mac OS [00:23] Payton: On your physical computer, in BIOS. If the virtualization isn't enabled, you can't install a 64-bit guest. [00:23] PatrickDickey: So I have to install a 32 bit version of ubuntu? [00:25] Payton: I'd say reboot, and go into BIOS. Look around there for anything that has to do with Virtualization, and enable it. It might be something like VT-x or AMD-v in BIOS. If you don't have those options, then yes, all you can install is a 32-bit version. [00:25] PatrickDickey: I've done all i could with the virtualization :/ [00:26] Payton: In BIOS, you mean? [00:26] Looks like I need 32 bit, but still I don't understand. I'm using a 64 bit based and 64 bit processor [00:27] hey, for the life in me, i cannot figure out how to get my system to run a script at startup. furthermore i want to make another script thatll execute before x is started [00:27] Payton: Which CPU do you have exactly? [00:27] What do you mean, OS? [00:28] the Processor [00:28] Payton, he means Processor. Intel or AMD, and type. Like Intel Celeron or AMD Athalon, for example. [00:28] Let me check [00:28] PatrickDickey: I mean: "which exact make and model is your processor"? [00:28] Intel Pentium 286 :D [00:29] no such thing lol [00:29] Pentium is 586, penta means 5 :) [00:30] * PatrickDickey is going to guess that Payton's BIOS doesn't have any support for virtualization in it. Has an old 64-bit computer sitting on the floor like that. [00:30] bekks: Processor: AMD A8-5550M APU Radeon HD Graphics 2.10GHz [00:30] #wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext && dhclient wlan0 [00:30] bekks: Close to a i5 intel processor [00:30] but there is no ip address acquired [00:31] Payton: Far away, since its AMD ;) You have to check wether you enabled AMD-V in the BIOS. [00:31] Payton: Out of curosity, what brand of computer is it? Brand and model. [00:31] PatrickDickey: HP Windows 8 and I have no clue as to witch model [00:31] bekks: How would i do that in VBox? [00:32] Payton: Vbox has nothing to do with that. Turn your computer off, boot it, get into the BIOS, and check that setting. [00:32] Payton: You do that on the computer itself. When you reboot, start pressing F2, and it *should* take you to the BIOS. Then look for that setting in there. [00:32] bekks: What do I look for in that? [00:33] Payton: I told you. [00:33] And Payton, if you see something on the screen that says "Press to enter setup", Press that key instead of the F2 key. [00:33] there is error message ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument [00:33] bekks: I know, haven't you heard of spam? [00:33] Payton: Whatever. I am not in the mood for jokes. [00:34] bekks: I can't see the message, in other words -.- [00:34] bekks: I don't joke around. [00:34] Payton: You even answered on my post. [00:34] Payton: So dont tell me you havent read it ;) === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [00:35] bekks: I already looked for my processor, you said nothing about the boot stuff [00:35] bekks: Great, I already forgot what to do [00:35] Xubuntu finished downloading. I put it on a USB using Rufus (http://rufus.akeo.io). The LiveUSB did not have wifi, however. [00:35] 1207 013047 < bekks> Payton: Far away, since its AMD ;) You have to check wether you enabled AMD-V in the BIOS. [00:35] 1207 013134 < Payton> bekks: How would i do that in VBox? [00:35] I shut off and rebooted in to Windows 8. [00:35] Alright [00:35] Payton: I did, and you replied. [00:35] I'll be back then [00:35] Should I Xubuntu first, and then try again? [00:36] CreamedChicken: In Windows 8, did you go into Power Options and disable Fast Startup (in What does the power button do)? [00:36] Yes, I did. [00:37] CreamedChicken: Then, did you either go into BIOS and set the boot order to USB before Hard drive, or press F12 (or whichever key gives you a boot menu) and choose the USB drive? [00:37] I pressed F12 and booted from USB. [00:38] Ok, so you got into the Live USB, but it didn't have Wifi, so you rebooted, right? (I missed that part) [00:38] Correct. Should I have installed first? [00:39] CreamedChicken: If you wanted to install it, then yes. It'll install from the USB without getting the updates. Afterwards, you'll probably have to get the driver for your wifi card, and install that. Then you'll have wifi. [00:39] oh [00:39] But, since you're in Windows now, I'd make sure of which card you have (the exact brand and model) so you know which drivers to get later. [00:39] I guess I'll reboot, install, hope it doesn't mess up, and try again. [00:40] * PatrickDickey has a new enough Realtek card, that I had to download drivers for it. [00:46] * PatrickDickey after 40 minutes, starts to wonder if he shouldn't have installed both ubuntu and lubuntu desktops... :P === DAAAMN is now known as B-rated [00:49] I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 Server, and have installed ubuntu-desktop. When the server boots up it goes straight into the Desktop login GUI. I was wondering if its possible to prevent that from happening, and instead be faced with the traditional black login command screen? [00:53] circ-user-b7neg: http://askubuntu.com/questions/148717/how-do-i-boot-into-the-console-and-then-launch-the-ubuntu-desktop-from-it might help you. [00:53] so i have tried downloading Ubuntu 13.10 from Ubuntu.com twice and it has worked neither time [00:53] Just passed the first pass, my HD still has a previous version of Ubuntu installed...? [00:53] STUPID: define hasn't worked either time. what happened? [00:53] perhaps I am failing to burn it to the CD correctly? I just open with Windows Disk Image Burner [00:54] I get an error when I try and boot the computer from the DVD [00:54] PatrickDickey: that looks helpful. thanks, i'll give that a try [00:54] STUPID: Can you set the speed in Windows Image Burner? If so, then you want the slowest speed possible. [00:54] if anyone needs my assistance I can assist - my specialty is networking [00:54] PatrickDicket - OK I can try that [00:55] circ-user-b7neg: Hopefully that works for you. I'm in the opposite boat of sorts. I had to install server, but want the desktop. [00:55] PatrickDicket: I don't get an option for burn speed [00:55] * PatrickDickey wooohooo I see it setting up Unity Scopes.... And LightDM. I might be set... [00:56] STUPID: Do you have another program for burning images? I'd try ISOBurn, if you don't. It allows you to set the speed, and also verify the burn. [00:56] PatrickDickey - I can download that and use it [00:57] Hey folks, quick question. On 12.04, how do I change the DNS servers used by a certain connection? [00:57] STUPID: That's what I'd do. It's free, and unofficially recommended by Microsoft (at least their beta developers). [00:57] would like to use the local instance of bind9 I just configured [00:57] Linux 3.2.0-57-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 21:38:12 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.. i want to install wireless driver for my ath5k [00:58] akurilin: You can change Network Manager to just get the IP address from DHCP, and specify DNS Servers in there. [00:58] which package to install? [00:58] i mean in the terminal PatrickDickey [00:58] fishcooker: linux 3.2 ... what ubuntu version is that? [00:59] PatrickDickey: any chance I could do that from a config somewhere? [00:59] fishcooker: /etc/network/interfaces If you change your IP Address to static, you can specify them in there. Or you might be able to do it in /etc/resolv.conf (but it might get overwritten by dhcp). [00:59] PatrickDickey: supposedly this was once located under /etc/network/interfaces [00:59] ubuntu server [00:59] akurilin: It still is. I had to do it this morning to update my laptop. [01:00] MonkeyDust: [01:00] i choose those kernel on installation step [01:00] have i do wrong thing here [01:00] Sorry, my other message to fishcooker was meant for akurilin instead (about network/interfaces and resolv.conf). [01:00] fishcooker: 12.04 has 3.8 that's why i'm asking [01:00] or should i install madwifi for this box [01:01] on installation there is option to choose [01:01] yeah i know [01:01] but i choose linux-image-generic [01:01] PatrickDickey: I cannot run ISOBurn because I am not administrator (Windows 7) === It is now known as Wug [01:02] what should i do MonkeyDust.. i want this wireless up and running.. [01:02] PatrickDickey: ok I'm kind of getting it. Is there any chance I can be on DHCP and still override its preference just for the DNS server? [01:03] just add this option to your interface "dns-nameservers 192.168.1.254 8.8.4.4" akurilin [01:03] im doing a release upgrade using the internet on my existing server build. Something makes me think this may have been quicker to do an overlapped upgrade instead (by downloading the 13.10 ISO)... Zzzzzzz [01:03] it won't override the resolv.conf [01:05] fishcooker: the interface isn't listed there, I don't think it will show up in that file if network manager is controlling it. === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [01:06] hello [01:06] hi myd_ [01:07] what just happened? [01:08] ubottu removes channel operator status from ubottu [01:08] DuncanNZ: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:08] STUPID: Try this instead http://www.freeisoburner.com/ supposedly you don't have to install it. [01:09] fishcooker: I actually stumbled upon a dhcp option that lets you specify DNS servers by hand [01:09] that's pretty convenient [01:10] DuncanNZ: I think the bot just demoted itself from an owner to a regular user. [01:10] PatrickDickey: why would it do that? [01:10] Alright, I'm back. [01:10] DuncanNZ: Maybe the hammer was getting heavy? [01:10] Setup automatically enabled wifi. [01:10] DuncanNZ: We have some bans that auto-expire, for those bans ubottu automatically ops herself, removes the ban, then de-ops herself again when the ban has expired. [01:11] oh I see thanks Jordan_U [01:11] DuncanNZ: You're welcome. [01:11] o/ [01:12] However, when I go to Xubuntu, it the only options are Install Over and Do Something Else. I selected Do Something Else. Because it is a "new" laptop, with UEFI, does it need anything special, like a /boot partition? I just have / and /home right now. === Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much [01:13] This is what GParted looks like: http://i.imgur.com/2vO3EFO.png [01:13] I've got /, /home, and /swap, is there anything else I'm missing, like /boot? [01:15] Hey uh, what's a man page? [01:15] !man > bish0p_ [01:15] bish0p_, please see my private message [01:15] manual = man [01:15] CreamedChicken: The bootloader should install in /boot/efi (which should be there, if your Windows 8 was booting in UEFI mode). If you're in CSM mode, you'll have to do a boot repair later on to get it to boot in UEFI mode. [01:16] alright, thank you [01:16] Huh? [01:16] Now this may make me sound like a complete idiot but how do I download from the ubuntu archives? [01:16] CreamedChicken: You're fine. Do you see the partition in the list that says "Boot"? [01:16] (under flags) [01:17] First one, fat32 partition, labeled "ESP [01:17] !fstb [01:17] !fstab [01:17] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:17] That's the one. When you install, GRUB will install there, and move everything around in there. That way you'll be able to boot either Windows 8 or Xubuntu. [01:17] CreamedChicken: Make sure that that partition is mounted to /boot/efi/ . === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [01:18] So, in a terminal, I need to do: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi, correct? [01:18] anyone a debian package kung fu master in here? for some reason a package I have created acts differently when being installed via dpkg -i vs apt-get install, the package is setup to just extra files into certain locations on the filesystem, with dpkg -i the files are extract as expected to the proper locations, but with apt-get install, the files do not show up anywhere [01:19] Anything else I need to do? [01:20] Brocky: believe you just need to add it to your /etc/apt/sources.list http://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror [01:21] im having difficulty get a script to run at startup [01:21] Hmm [01:21] So I can't connect to certain sites, I found out they all start with 192.* after resolving the hostmname? [01:21] Are they even supposed tos tart with 192? [01:21] And if so, what could be the problem? [01:21] Brocky: here's a post where they're showing some options through the GUI to update the sources http://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror [01:21] Lajjla: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:22] Like, is github.com 192.30.252.131 too for you people? === Guest2028 is now known as Zhaofeng_Li [01:22] CreamedChicken: No, that is something that you need to configure in Ubuntu's installer (unless you're using automatic partitioning, in which case it will be done for you properly automatically :). [01:22] Lajjla: yes nslookup resolves the same here [01:22] Lajjla: That's what I got also. So it's not the resolution that's failing. It's something else. Do you get an error message when you try to go to their site? [01:23] wafflejock: Unfortunetly Im currently on a windows machine... and Im looking to download http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ [01:23] PatrickDickey, I just can't connect, to 3 sites, all of whom staret with 192 [01:23] Maybe this is a flaw in my router or something? [01:23] Because like, the windows computer can't connect too [01:24] Jordan_U, like this? http://i.imgur.com/7Nxqm2v.png [01:24] Lajjla: It could be. It sounds like your router is trying to redirect all 192.* to your local network, instead of just the 192.168.* addresses. [01:24] Lajjla: yeah sounds like some issue with the router perhaps see if you can configure the LAN settings and use a different IP range [01:24] I thought maybe it wasn't supposed to connect to 192. and my dns settings are failing me., [01:24] Lajjla: Out of curiosity, what's your IP address on the computer? [01:25] Super weird, it only started today [01:25] But yeah, it does ssound like that [01:25] Brocky: looks like you can just grab the mini.iso file there for the minimal CD network install [01:25] Oh, hmm, I notice an anomaly, my static netmask is set to 255.0.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0 hmm [01:26] Lajjla: that would be a problem [01:26] then all 192.x.x.x are internal [01:26] PatrickDickey, I am 192.168.0.6 on this machine I believe [01:26] But, lket me see what happens if I reset the router with 255.255.255.0 now [01:27] Lajjla: should be all good if the router is 192.168.0.x and everything internal has a corresponding IP [01:27] Lajjla: What is it set at currently? (The 255.255.255.0 part). [01:27] so for pxe I just need the mini.iso for the pxe install.. I presume this means that being only 36M that it is missing a lot compared to the cd install though? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [01:28] Brocky: All the mini iso does is boot up, and connect to the PXE (or the Ubuntu mirrors) for the rest. That's why it's so small. [01:28] Brocky: the minimal CD install basically just gets you booting into the first couple of command line based menus then gets everything else from the net... I'm not too familiar with PXE boot setups though [01:28] Jordan_U, I currently have /dev/sda1 set as "EFI Booot Partition", /dev/sda8 as /home, /dev/sda10 as / and /dev/sda9 as /swap. Is there anything else I'm missing. [01:28] *? [01:28] Well, there we go [01:28] Lesson learnt, I can screw the whole building by doing this [01:28] What does netmask even do? [01:28] So let me get this straight, by that setting on my computer I can screw anyone who uses the router without needing a pass to the router essentially? [01:29] no netmask is used to determine which IPs are in the local range it shouldn't affect other systems unless it's changed on the router [01:29] nevzets: Netmask helps the computer to know which other devices are in the local network. If you change it, then it looks for other devices with that same netmask, and will only connect to them. [01:29] PatrickDickey: jinx :) [01:29] lol ;) [01:30] PatrickDickey, so whyis 255.255.255.0 the cannonical way to go. [01:30] nevzets: this gives you 200 some IPs to work with locally [01:30] And why does changing it to 255.0.0.0 on one machine block anytihng starting with 192 [01:30] I don't know what netmask exactly does, I just know it's supposed to be on 255.255.255.0 [01:30] Ahh k. Maybe I better explain what I am trying to do and get some advice that way... I want to install 13.10 server onto an old machine of mine however it has'nt got a cd drive. I tried usb and cant get it to boot from it either so I wanted to try PXE [01:31] nevzets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork [01:31] nevzets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT === nevzets is now known as Lajjla [01:31] nevzets: those are the parts involved if you really want to know, it's a bit complicated though just a heads up... I took a semester on Java network programming and learned a lot but was a full semester of school covering the details [01:32] Anyone have suggestions for partitioning? Just want to make sure I don't screw up the dual boot. [01:32] Hey, I'm a little confused about something with my laptop. I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, and to keep my system from suspending when I close the lid, I had to edit the file /etc/systemd/login.conf andand change a couple lines to "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" and "LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no" But it takes no effect when I'm on the cinnamon 2.0 environment. [01:33] Ah, I see, subnetmask is just to be seen as a number [01:33] It works fine on unity and gnome [01:34] CreamedChicken: It looks good. As long as you don't have it formatting the /boot, or your OS partitions, you should be fine. The ONLY ones that should be formatted are your /, /home, and swap partitions. [01:34] Lajjla: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164015 as much as I hate to reference microsoft here this is a good explanation [01:35] wafflejock: sometimes they're good for something. ;) [01:35] PatrickDickey: yeah honestly their docs have always been okay when it comes to programming stuff too... it's just the languages that don't make any sense :) (XAML ugh) [01:35] Microsoft good for something? huh, that's strange. They've only ever screwed me over. [01:36] But does anyone know to to keep my laptop from suspending on lise closure? [01:37] Rayhai: in the system settings power options [01:37] Rayhai: I'm in Kubuntu so can't check exact names from here if you're on Ubuntu [01:37] That's where I was going to point him also. [01:38] wafflejock: Tried that, doesn't work. [01:38] Rayhai: hmm works here you sure you checked for plugged in vs unplugged [01:38] Yep. [01:39] Rayhai: http://askubuntu.com/questions/15520/how-can-i-tell-ubuntu-to-do-nothing-when-i-close-my-laptop-lid maybe? [01:39] wafflejock: I had to modify /etc/systemd/login.conf, that fixed the problem on GNOME and Unity, but it's still borked on Cinnamon 2.0 [01:39] how do i automount a partition [01:40] Rayhai: not sure you may need to go to a cinammon specific channel or mint or something though not sure you'll find the answer here (just a suggest maybe someone here knows) [01:41] Alright, thanks. It's installing now. I'll be back if I encounter any issues. [01:41] Rayhai: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=101396 then. I didn't realize it was for cinnamon. [01:41] wafflejock: well my base is ubuntu 13.10, and I couldn't find anything on google, so I came here. [01:42] Rayhai: that's fine just trying to offer some extra options since I don't usually see a lot of chatter about cinammon in here [01:43] wafflejock: haha, well I'm just trying out some different desktop environment right now. Kinda looking for something that's clean and easy to use for productivity. [01:44] which one Rayhai? [01:44] I'm trying out Cinnamon 2.0 right now. I really like it, but I can't close my lid without it suspending. [01:45] Rayhai: I'm really loving KDE, it takes some rigging but you can get it just how you like it er at least just how I like it (I'm not a big user of the KMenu though just shortcut everything or put it in a panel) [01:45] haven't really given Cinnamon a serious shot yet though [01:45] kde is awesome [01:47] I'll take a look into it. Anyways, can someone suggest to me a good dock? I like docky, but hate the forced docky icon, and cairo-dock is too animated. I want a clean, customizeable dock. [01:47] Rayhai: also just another random suggestion using Virtual Box so you can test out a lot of stuff without messing up your main system (and clone VMs) is a nice option if you just want to blow through some stuff and not compromise the stability of your main system [01:48] http://glx-dock.org/ [01:49] oh, sry u already mentioned it [01:49] * PatrickDickey is really starting to think he bought a lemon... [01:49] wafflejock : I have no experience with VMs, but if it's nothing too daunting, I could give it a try [01:50] I'm getting hard lockups on one of my CPU cores. :S It just started now, after I've installed the desktops. I *may* have to restore my original drive, and start from there again. :S [01:50] Rayhai: super easy actually just, sudo apt-get install virtualbox [01:50] jevon: haha, yeah. I like glx/cairo-dock, but the animations are too much of an eyesore for me. [01:50] after that it has a GUI to make a new VM image file and set it up to install an OS then you point it to a ISO on first start [01:52] Rayhai: I actually wrote up a guide to getting it setup for doing development stuff (AngularJS is where my focus has been, playing with Android development too now) https://docs.google.com/document/d/13qRYXSYyAunclSOr-iLhpHa7A88MQXrO04B0n8pQPmA/edit#heading=h.bw2mdw5i1i9q [01:52] Rayhai: I took screenshots at each step of the VM setup and explained as best I could about what the important stuff does [01:52] Oh man. Gotta love 3rd world country internet speed. Over half an hour to download VirtualBox [01:53] wafflejock: Thanks! Once I can download a few things, I'll give it a try. [01:53] Rayhai: sure thing glad it can help some people... will eventually post this to my small business site but it's still a bit rough around the edges [01:54] Is there a way in bash to redirect a connection and logging the session without using a packet sniffer? [01:55] i had a new laptop with windows 8. I deleted windows 8, i want to install ubuntu. i disabled secure boot. Do i have to partition any special wayy? [01:56] gige: not in particular but uefi may be an issue [01:56] !uefi > gige [01:56] gige, please see my private message [01:56] i will be using 12.04 [01:58] is uefi like gonna be normal now [01:58] is it a new thing. or a windows thing [01:58] I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 and although virtually everything is working amazingly well, the HUD now knows nothing about any software installed on this box. Is there a way to rebuild whatever indexes etc are required for the HUD? [01:58] gige: a little from A but mostly from B I believe === waddedMe_ is now known as meat_wad [02:00] how do i automount a partition [02:00] gige: and since most PCs are preloaded with windows this is a thing now however you want to look at that [02:00] fixmypc956: fstab [02:01] !fstab > fixmypc956 [02:01] fixmypc956, please see my private message [02:01] wafflejock: i mean but soon linux will be no problem on this right [02:01] wafflejock: I didnt even know about this till my newest laptop purchase [02:02] gige: I imagine that's true since it's probably not going away, but I'm not sure... bough my laptop from Sys76 so it's all linux friendly out of the box, had Win 8 running dual boot but then decided to put Win 8 into a virtual machine instead since I just need photoshop here or there [02:02] bought* [02:03] wafflejock: i never heard of sys76 i want a laptop from them. Might return this lol [02:03] they shipped it to you with ubutu? [02:03] wafflejock: with KDE, is it possible to get myy desktop enviroment to look something like this? http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7381/11245011416_0c369350a4_o.png - The dark taskbar with minimalistic icons, along with the music playing in the task icons? [02:03] gige: hah yeah I hadn't heard about them but jupiter broadcasting is a linux channel that is funded by them and push it a lot so eventually decided to try it, quite happy for the last year with it... yeah shipped with 12.04 when I ordered last november [02:04] Rayhai, it's cinnamon + numix [02:04] Pessimist: I'm on Ubuntu + Cinnamon right now, but I'm haffing a few issues with it. [02:05] Rayhai: eh sort of, if you use the Oxygen theme and just have one panel at the bottom and use some dock app you can get it similar but won't be exact [02:05] having* [02:08] wired connection works for me but not wireless [02:08] i click connections but i dont see it finding any routers [02:08] !wireless | gige [02:08] gige: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:09] gige: you may need to install NDIS wrapper or otherwise figure out what to do for your specific device.. if usb use lsusb to see the device id and then look it up otherwise use lscpci [02:10] alright thanks [02:11] Rayhai: here's what mine looks like ATM http://pasteboard.co/1OmurxuT.png there's a hidden panel in the top left of the right monitor too where I keep stuff for quicklaunch [02:11] Hi, can someone help me?

[02:13] My youngest son was surfing the web last night and to my shock he was at www.bbc.co.uk the .uk stands for United Kingdom and, well, doesn't it cost extra to view long distance? [02:13] I set it to 1GB ram it should be fine cD [02:13] xD [02:14] SuperVeggie: there is no long distance when it comes to the internet, not since the days of dial up [02:14] Payton: if you're using Unity 64 bit 1GB is probably really not enough, depends on your DE and other choices [02:14] No, I am sure they charge extra. It doesn't make any sense that they wouldn't. England is a long way away, they would lose millions not to. [02:14] hi all , I am tring to use arp to list all nodes on my network, but am only getting back the gateway with arp -a . can someone assist [02:15] What should I set it to? [02:15] I have 8GB RAM [02:15] But I don't want to go into swap :( [02:15] Payton: give it half if you're doing a VM and you aren't using 4GB [02:15] SuperVeggie - I suppose it depends on your internet service. If you pay a flat rate it should make no difference. [02:16] So i need 4GB RAM? [02:16] I just don't want to use swap.. [02:16] Payton: it won't hurt, 2GB would be sufficient but I find myself getting into the 4GB range pretty frequently, granted I just leave stuff open all over [02:16] Well we use dial-up and you just said it costs extra for dial-up long distance? [02:16] wafflejock: hmm. I'm not interested in gradients and high quality/resolution icons, with my weak laptop, I need all the preformance I can get for gamming. Also why I'm looking for a cleaner dock. [02:16] Alright I'll set to 4GB [02:16] SuperVeggie: no the dial up will only cost more if it has to actually dial to a long distance number [02:17] going to domains from any country is fine [02:17] Ok thank you :) [02:17] SuperVeggie: sure thing [02:17] hello world!

[02:40] boern, generally you add them one at a tome and run a update and install what is needed and look for errors than, you will need to look at the errors and go through what they provide and run a ppa-purge on the broken one. PPA's have to be carefully used. [02:40] i've tried knoppix as live cd to my box, the wireless card work well, but when i install ubuntu it cant .. it is based on AR242X.. it used ath5k as driver [02:41] boern, Really don't use a ppa unless you know its safe, or are forced to. [02:41] boern: as Beldar explains you should be sure to add comments if you manually add PPAs to remind yourself what they are for and where they come from, you should also be careful because any updates to source pushed to the PPA will be brought down to your system [02:42] so what if i remove all PPAs from "other software"? [02:42] they are all uncheckt [02:42] unchecked* [02:43] http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported [02:43] on unity I tried to "send a window down" but now I cannot find which worspace it is in . is there a way to look for it ? [02:44] secure boot killed the dual boot [02:45] !ppa-purge | boern this is how you remove them. [02:45] boern this is how you remove them.: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [02:46] sudo apt-get install ppa-purge?

[03:28] azio_m: because .font is a directory or /home/youruser , not /home [03:28] ooh that === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [03:29] Alright, seems to have fixed the use of expo, it's just odd my settings don't appear to stick in CCSM. [03:29] xangua: what do you mean? [03:29] hi what up [03:29] azio_m: perhaps you need to mount the home partition on /home [03:30] Cube works too. But when I log into my standalone session, nothing is saved. Hrmm. [03:31] pfifo: sudo mount /home returns: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/myuser/tty1: Read-only file system [03:31] Anyone can help me?

[03:32] hdon: something must be missing [03:32] check your packages [03:32] lucasredsn0w, any idea which packages? [03:32] i suspect one of them must provide a file to lightdm which tells it about kde4 [03:33] but i'm unfamiliar with lightdm [03:33] azio_m: mount / as read-write `sudo mount -o remount,rw /` then try again [03:33] i dont know [03:33] lucasredsn0w, thanks anyhow. someone else may know [03:33] if I want to use KDE i will download Kubuntu [03:33] hdon: I've even got problem installing ubuntu [03:33] any idea?

[03:37] lucas, excellent the data spread across probably over at least 12 posts and you change your nick, I meant if your talking to someone else tab complete their nick. [03:37] ubunboy, if i might ask, how did you select "uefi boot" or "secureboot" ? [03:37] okay [03:37] I tried to run a game recently, and it said "Couldn't find matching GLX visual". I think its because i broke a package somewhere. any ideas? [03:37] hdon, I turned the UEFI boot on and turned the SecureBoot off [03:38] JesseH, please pastebin the output of glxinfo run from a terminal emulator in your X environment [03:38] !uefi | ubunboy [03:38] ubunboy: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [03:38] JesseH, can you tell me your GPU model? [03:38] ubunboy, where/how did you do that?

[03:39] I've got problem acessing pastebin [03:39] ubunboy, ah, i did not know. what are the meanings of the different options? i assume uefi is supposed to be uefi signed or has a workaround.. what is secureboot? [03:39] network issues [03:40] SecureBoot is a protection that keeps other OS away from the computer [03:40] hdon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6533103/ [03:40] JesseH, ah ok. what gpu do you have? [03:40] But I've already turned it off! [03:40] JesseH, using BumBlebee? [03:40] ubunboy, hmm.. how does it do that? (feel free to ignore me, i'm not being helpful, just curious) [03:41] What is bumbebee? [03:41] Some NV GPUs will have this problem if bumblebee is not correctly installed [03:41] JesseH, do you know the GPU in your machine? use lspci | grep VGA to find i believe [03:41] hey [03:41] JesseH, something like Nvidia Optimus, but it is available in linux OS [03:41] "Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD graphics card" [03:41] :P === supergauntlet_ is now known as supergauntlet [03:41] Oh that's an old GPU === ubunboy is now known as lucasredsn0w [03:42] JesseH, that's not a great GPU but it's better than nothing [03:42] I ran the game like, 2 days ago. [03:42] anyone know the proper kernel module or package for JesseH ? [03:42] hdon, I don't know too much about kernel [03:42] JesseH, did you do any kind of system maintenance like updates or add/remove packages? [03:42] hdon, oh yeah lol [03:43] I was clumsy and ignorant about it and broke something i think. :P === misquote is now known as ldlework [03:44] hdon, the Ubuntu font is really wonderful [03:44] Hello! I installed Xubuntu a while ago. There is audio playing a youtube video, but I cannot adjust the volume using the applet. [03:45] JesseH, it happens, especially on ubuntu. ubuntu is very easy for 90% of users, but then 10% who thought it would be easy get stuck because they aren't very experienced. it's okay, i hope someone can help you. i'm googling a little bit, but haven't found anything. [03:45] lucasredsn0w, hm? [03:45] CreamedChicken, driver missing? [03:45] I mean the font on ubuntu [03:45] I don't think so, I said, it played audio. [03:45] hdon, dont think ill ever be experienced enough not to make errors :P [03:45] CreamedChicken, youtube video playing in flash player? [03:46] try to change a browser or player [03:46] JesseH, true, nobody is that experienced [03:46] hdon, yup, it's playing in flash player. There is audio. I just can't adjust it. [03:46] CreamedChicken, that seems odd but flash if proprietary and difficult to say where the problem is unless the solution is already known [03:47] one sec, it's not an issue with flash [03:47] pfifo: i cant use mir with official drivers? [03:47] hdon, if you know my IP address you may find something [03:48] try to WHOIS me [03:48] err.... ok [03:48] i think freenode will not give me your IP though [03:48] hdon, you may find my IP location strange [03:48] oh it did [03:49] is it starts with 112? [03:50] http://i.imgur.com/2utOZEy.png [03:50] There, I drew an arrow. [03:50] yes. no reverse host resolution, assuming i did that right. [03:50] chinese IP? [03:50] When I click on it, it's just a little white box. No volume slider. [03:50] yeah... [03:51] CreamedChicken, oh when you said applet [03:51] CreamedChicken, i thought you meant in flash player [03:51] CreamedChicken, seems the applet is broken [03:51] CreamedChicken, you might try restarting the process for the volume control [03:51] have you tried restarting the computer? [03:52] Nope, guess I'll do that. [03:52] lucasredsn0w, how many hops are you to 112.65.215.6? are you behind a proxy? [03:52] nope [03:53] The network provider did something strange [03:53] I dont know either === FreezingAlt is now known as FreezingCold [03:54] pvl1: no, mir is designed for open source drivers === jake is now known as CreamedChicken [03:55] Nope, same problem. [03:56] lucasredsn0w, how did you make the determination that your IP was weird? [03:56] is plv1 still around? [03:56] CreamedChicken, try alsamixer from terminal [03:56] arrow keys, control+c to exit [03:57] Because I cannot map my ports === hakr is now known as h[a]kr [03:57] Romance: do you think you might be able to help me out. I got disconnected from plv1. ( or someone else ) [03:58] when i ping 198.168.1.1 it comes from 169.254.10.101 [03:58] http://i.imgur.com/c7H7lMh.png What do I want to adjust? [03:58] destination host unreachable. [03:58] lucasredsn0w, the last 10 hops that responded to my trace were all china. according to maxmind.com geoip database, that is. what's weird is the hop from 63.146.27.86 to 219.158.102.219. it goes straight from centurylink (my ISP) to "China Unicom Liaoning [03:59] Anonymous, that's because your routing table hasn't been configured [03:59] Because I'am really in China [03:59] Anonymous, please do ifconfig command and pastebin results [03:59] But our network provider will connect us to multiple networks [03:59] lucasredsn0w, ah, heh. still i didn't know there was a direct route from my ISP to a chinese backbone [03:59] hdon: ok.. I'm probably going to have to type it by hand.

[04:00] So what do I want to adjust in alsamixer? This is what it looks like: (Quit: [04:00] lucasredsn0w, ofc, but i'm pretty far south, i assumed all the transpacific connections were pretty far north, farther north than my ISP went [04:01] Oops, it's http://i.imgur.com/c7H7lMh.png [04:01] Anonymous, ohhh, of course, sorry [04:01] hdon, there are multiple direct routes [04:01] And those routes are everywhere [04:01] lucasredsn0w, amazing [04:02] Anonymous, do you have maybe a digital camera phone or something?

[04:03] lucasredsn0w, (i'm kidding) [04:03] i know [04:03] lol [04:03] I mean uploading, not dowloading [04:04] I'm not a spy at all [04:04] hah [04:04] I got that super monkey swag, super free flow yo [04:05] hdon, I use mega.co.nz to share files between countries [04:05] lucasredsn0w, i thought they got shut down [04:05] err.. i'm thinking of megaupload [04:05] you mean mega？ [04:05] yes but i was thinking of megaupload [04:06] Let me see [04:06] megaupload/megavideo/megawhatever i think they had a bunch of websites for sharing files running on the same backend [04:06] where are you from lucasredsn0w ? [04:06] Shanghai [04:06] lol [04:06] oh, cool [04:07] the only person i ever spoke to in china was a friend of mine who went there to work from here in US [04:07] What should I do in alsamixer? [04:07] hdon, do you have problem understanding my English? [04:07] lucasredsn0w, not at all, that's why i asked where you were from. your english is perfect [04:08] Ok so I have installed ubuntu but now it is running slowly :( [04:08] By the way, although my new computer is fast, but I cannot install ubuntu on it :( [04:08] Payton, are you on unity desktop? [04:08] hdon: is there somewhere i can paste a photo.. the usb still isn't working for some reason.. :/ [04:09] lucasredsn0w, :( [04:09] hdon: ? [04:09] hdon: I'm new to ubuntu.. [04:09] Anom01y, i don't know... maybe imgur? [04:09] hdon: ok. [04:09] hdon, can you tell me your mailbox or something other? so we can be friend [04:09] Payton, never used the shell in another *nix OS like mac os x, solaris, linux? [04:10] lucasredsn0w, /msg'd [04:10] hdon: I have used Mac os x but everything was pre setup for me [04:10] i see [04:10] Payton, ok, i think the default keyboard shortcut to launch a terminal emulator is Control+Shift+T [04:10] Payton, when you get the command line, don't be intimidated. this is a place where you can enter commands. [04:11] Payton, oh sorry [04:11] my mousepad isnt coming up in lspci, where can i see what mousepad my laptop has [04:11] Payton, i forgot i wanted to know if you were using unity [04:11] hdon: I know I have used the linux terminal xD [04:11] Payton, ah ok [04:11] Payton, does your desktop have a "dock" on the left-hand side and a bar along the top with menu/widgets ? [04:11] hdon: Yes [04:12] Payton, the "dock" is supposed to work like the one on mac os x, so at least that will be familiar to you [04:12] hdon: http://imgur.com/Z0oUlXd [04:12] Payton, this is the unity desktop. it's not everyone's favorite but it is the default. anyhow it means you can install a particular widget onto the top menu bar that will tell you about the resource utilization of your machine [04:12] hdon: Yes, i am familiar to the ubuntu OS [04:12] hdon: it appears as if it is not correct. lol. [04:13] hdon: Just need to speed this CPU up [04:13] Anonymous, very nice pic. i was worried it would be blurry. this is what i expected to see. does your LAN use DHCP? [04:13] I have a 10.10 server and I am trying to install squid. When I do a apt-get install squid I get this as the result E: Unable to locate package squid [04:13] . I've tried apt-get update, apt-get clean the update. Anything else I can try? [04:13] Payton, it may not be the CPU, we must diagnose what the bottleneck is [04:13] hdon: yes, it does. [04:14] Anonymous, you may want to try to run "dhclient eth0" to see if that establishes a dhcp lease from your dhcp server (probably on your LAN appliance) and sets up your routing table [04:14] hdon: What would you suppose it is? [04:14] Anonymous, it could take up to a minute in my experience to get a dhcp lease [04:15] hdon, see private messages [04:15] Payton, in my experience CPU is not the bottleneck. usually it is RAM and/or HDD access [04:15] hdon: ok, I'll try it. [04:15] hdon: I have set it to 20GB because I'm only using it for programming. [04:15] 20GB HHD [04:16] hdon: and 6GB RAM of my 12GB RAM PC [04:16] Anonymous, if it succeeds, you can run ifconfig and route -n again to see if your eth0 got an address and that your routing table has been altered. then try to ping your LAN appliance with ping command followed by the address of the LAN appliance (a good guess is that it's the same as the IP address you get from DHCP but with the last byte a 1) [04:16] hdon, email sent [04:17] lucasredsn0w, cool :) i will check my email in a little while [04:17] Payton, you have it set to 20GB? you mean you partition 20GB for your ubuntu install? [04:17] okay [04:17] hdon: Yes. [04:17] Payton, ah, that will not cause a slow-down [04:17] Payton, that's too small I think [04:17] Payton, what i mean is, HDD access, reading and writing [04:17] at least 30GB [04:18] hdon: ok [04:18] If you install a lot of stuff you will be short of disk spaces [04:18] lucasredsn0w: Alright, I need to go into the iso and re partition... [04:18] Payton, lucasredsn0w: my ubuntu is installed on only 14GB and it's enough for Ubuntu 12.04 but i wish i had made it twice as large because it needs more space to upgrade, haha [04:18] hdon, that's what I mean [04:18] I am running 13.10 :o [04:19] i have no estimation of 13.10's HDD capacity requirements [04:19] Payton, no need for re=partitioning [04:19] "-“ [04:19] but anyhow this is not the focus of the problem [04:19] I need some advice…my boss has a svn server set up but I don't know the name of it…I can use team viewer to get to my work computer and therefore on my companies network…how would I search for the domain name of the svn server while on our network? [04:19] I sorrt of got my session working. Do I necessarily need to be logged into a GNOME session to get the GNOME system indicators like volume, battery and so on, or is there a special thing I can add into my xsession to make them work? [04:19] Payton, let me get you the name of the package... [04:19] lucasredsn0w: What should I do :P [04:19] hdon: Alright [04:19] Payton, just use GParted [04:19] If not the xsession startup script, the .desktop files. [04:19] Payton, install indicator-multiload [04:19] and shrink spaces from other partition [04:20] GParted is strong enough to do that job [04:20] "sudo apt-get install gparted" [04:20] Payton, if it does not automatically show up (it doesn't for me, but others report it does automatically) you can run it from the Unity runner somehow or from a terminal emulator [04:20] Payton, oh or from the run dialog, alt+f2 [04:20] I have GParted [04:20] hdon: it's still.. well.. doing nothing. lol. === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:20] try to use it [04:20] I've followed webupd8's guide on how to make a standalone compiz session.

[04:22] it finally gave me a command prompt again.. but ifconfig shows no ip address [04:22] let me check th route -n [04:23] hdon: still the same in ifconfig and route -n [04:23] hdon, private messages has been sent to you [04:23] Anonymous, hmm... check the cable!

Its a qwest.. something.. [04:28] hdon: the NIC is built into the board. [04:28] Anonymous, i say "LAN appliance" because it probably performs many functions in one.. obviously it routes, and runs a DHCP server at the very least, maybe even integrated modem?

[04:37] Anonymous, by using the "pipe" character "|" (on my keyboard it is Shift+Backslash) you can chain two commands together so that the second command reads from the first command [04:37] Anonymous, you do not look, you can have the computer look for you. by using the | character, in a command like this: [04:38] Anonymous, lspci | grep Ethernet [04:38] Anonymous, then you will only see lines from the lspci command which contain the string "Ethernet" [04:38] hdon: OHHH!! ok!

[07:59] http://askubuntu.com/questions/387363/deja-dup-failes-to-restore-folder-doesnt-exist [08:02] vaio: You need to point dèjá dup to a folder with the archive, not the archive itself. [08:03] theadmin: the restore works, it just stops during the restore [08:03] vaio: Ah. Now that's odd. [08:03] vaio: Either way, you should be able to just unpack the archive like an ordinary one [08:03] vaio: So if all else fails...

Software Centre, Update Manager, other apt-gets? [08:16] Hmm... [08:16] Aumpa, The software center is already installed [08:17] Beldar: Not necessarily. Some editions of Ubuntu come without it (Lubuntu and Kubuntu, for example) [08:17] I used Crouton to install ubuntu on a Chromebook. [08:17] Oh dear... [08:17] Aumpa: That's... not really supported.

[08:52] Hi there. Say I write a c++ app and I want to package and distribute it in the form of a .deb file. Can anybody point me to a proper resource of learning about how to create a package for dummies? [08:53] ariscop, How do I learn to do such a thing? [08:53] benishor: Easiest way: make a Makefile or a script that installs all files to their respective locations, run that script under "checkinstall". [08:54] JesseH, with a fair amount of experience, i've done it on arch but don't know enough about ubuntu to actually do it === a is now known as Guest71341 [08:55] theadmin: sounds too easy :) do you happen to have a link/reference for this? [08:55] i have voice and mic problem with skype an the new ubuntu version [08:55] JesseH: It's not supported. A reinstall is probably the only reasonable option. Do you have a USB? [08:55] i have thinkpad t60 [08:55] theadmin, Ill have to order one now. [08:56] Or is it possible to run a 64 bit application on 32 bit? :P [08:56] Any possible way at all? [08:56] benishor: No need, just "sudo checkinstall COMMAND". COMMAND is your install script. The tool is fully interactive, it will ask you for the package name, version, dependencies and other stuff. [08:56] * JesseH is cheap [08:56] JesseH: No... What app do you want to run that does *not* have a 32-bit version? [08:56] theadmin: thank you very much! [08:57] theadmin, If I can't, then explaining it isn't much use. Thanks anyway! [08:58] JesseH: Here's a trick you might make use of. Install "grml-rescueboot". Place an Ubuntu ISO in /boot/grml and run sudo update-grub. Find the ISO entry in the GRUB menu, append "toram" to the line and boot it. [08:58] JesseH: Then you can reinstall by magic. But you need plenty of RAM to do this. [08:58] I have, 1.5 gb of ram [08:58] i have skype problems [08:58] JesseH: Hm, will probably be enough. I hope... [08:58] JesseH: Just a suggestion, though [08:58] dont work good [08:58] Guest71341: Details, please?

[11:12] hi all, i was wondering if someone could help me setting up google tasks using thunderbird? events work fine, but i cant add tasks? [11:13] during boot [11:13] what would happen if I shut down Ubuntu while apt-get is running? would it interrupt it gracefully, wait for it to finish, or just ignore it and break the installation? [11:14] jayar: in the bios or in ubuntu? Basically, how does the screen look when it asks the password? [11:14] how to hack a fb account??? [11:14] sifat: not the right channel [11:14] ubuntu... i could just turn off the bios one [11:14] sifat: thats illegal, please go away [11:14] its right when the gnome logo pops up [11:15] after bios screen [11:15] only for learning purpose man :P [11:15] jayar: that means you choose to encrypt your whole ubuntu during install, I'm not sure there's an easy way to disable that [11:15] "for learning purpose" [11:15] ha [11:15] lol classic [11:16] ah dang [11:16] !offtopic | sifat [11:16] sifat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[11:16] how do I hack bitcoin to get 6000 btc ? only for learning purpose :P [11:17] does anyone know how to use dnsenum in backtrack?? [11:17] jayar: maybe you could set the password to empty or something, but that way you loose all security you got with encryption in the first place [11:17] well its a fresh install so maybe i'll just go through and re-do it [11:17] sifat: the people in the backtrack channel, maybe [11:18] how can i go to the backtrack channel? i am new here [11:18] jayar: if you dont want the added security of encryption, thats probably the easiest. Just dont forget that if you do that, anyone who can touch your pc can get all your personal files [11:18] sifat: type /join #backtrack [11:18] thnx u man... [11:18] but i still have admin password [11:18] and home dir encryption [11:20] jayar: home dir encryption will help, thats true. However, you can also encrypt the whole install, and set ubuntu to automatically log you in. Than you only have to type in you password once, but you get the increased security of full disk encryption [11:20] oh yea how do i do that [11:21] jayar: during install, check the box 'don't as my password to login' or something similar [11:22] kk thnx === frdmn_ is now known as frdmn [11:34] hi, I have some problem with my own kernel, the usb-mouse acts very laggy. which kernel-module could be missing?

[11:59] I tried to install 3 times, same result [12:00] ActionParsnip, I don't think I have a gpu, I'm on Asus UX31E [12:00] it's an ultrabook [12:00] is that arm? [12:00] so an intel chipset or something like that [12:00] no, i5 [12:00] Flaburgan: why would anything be different between the reinstalls? You are taking the databoff then putting exactly the same data in the same place. How is that a fix? [12:01] Flaburgan: think about it..... [12:01] ActionParsnip, because I tried with the update from internet the second time, and with another image the 3rd time [12:01] I checked the checksum, the image is okay [12:01] Flaburgan: same thing...same data same place [12:03] What's a faster bit torrent client? I am using Transmission at the moment , but I think it should have downloaded far earlier than before. [12:03] ActionParsnip, anyway, how can you have something displayed during the boot, to know where the problem come from [12:03] flaburgan: try ctrl-alt F1 [12:03] how can I, sorry [12:03] Potas, client really doesn't matter so much as the health/seeding of the torrent [12:03] MonkeyDust, tried, I got nothing [12:04] Flburgan: did you try the boot option: nomodeset [12:04] I think I'm going to boot on the livecd and check the log from that [12:04] 100+ pages about zenbook http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1865577 [12:04] Potas: torrent speed is dictated by the uploaders, not the client [12:04] ActionParsnip, you mean, in grub, edit with e and add nomodset? [12:05] !nomodeset | flaburgan [12:05] flaburgan: 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 [12:05] ActionParsnip, [12:05] thx [12:05] Np :) [12:05] OerHeks, 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 run correctly... [12:05] first time I get this problem [12:06] but I'll have a look, thank you [12:06] Flaburgan: 12.04 is supported long after 13.10 is EOL [12:06] ActionParsnip, I know, but I'd like the last version :) [12:06] ActionParsnip, I sense he LIKES upgrading ... [12:07] Flaburgan: why the latest? You can also upgrade direct to 14.04 in April next year as it is LTS to LTS upgrade [12:08] I tried to choose the "safe mode" boot in grub (not sure it's called like that, I have it in french) [12:08] I myswewwlf 'returned' to 12.04 [12:08] myself* [12:08] and the boot is stuck on "Switching to clocksource tsc" [12:10] Flaburgan: try nomodeset may help.

I'm starting it with `sudo docker -d &` [12:12] matachi: so is it forking or running in the foreground of where you started it [12:13] I'm assuming -d is to daemonise it [12:13] ikonia: yeah, -d = "Enable daemon mode" [12:14] matachi: so you'll need to kill it with a kill signal [12:14] matachi: find the process ID and give it a "kill" signal [12:15] Matachi: killall docker [12:15] if you're just playing with it, dont give it the -d option, then when you are done, just hit ctrl+c [12:15] matachi, sudo docker kill # http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/use/basics/ [12:15] OerHeks: what's the jb input ? [12:16] sorry, correction, = [12:16] ah, so the pid [12:16] Oerheks: oh yeah. Process will be root owned [12:17] OerHeks: `docker kill` is for killing containers running in docker [12:19] matachi, does the deamon still run when empty? [12:19] ikonia: I'm finding docker's pid with `ps -A | grep docker` but when I do `sudo kill 3772` it spawns with a new pid, in this case 3949 [12:19] it is said on the interwebs that Vodafone mobile connect exists for linux. anyone knows which repo , version etc?

[13:50] wepslame: either way, plus run the test I suggested, as your connectio isn't dropping, I'd suggest, shutting down the laptop, hitting the kill switch, and then checking with iwconfig [13:50] MonkeyDust: NO! because i don't have HLS now! [13:50] MonkeyDust: i just have RTMP Streaming! [13:51] ikonia: Shutting it down == power off ? [13:51] MAF: i found two other rtmp/hls links, they both refer to nginx [13:51] cfohwleft [13:51] wepslame: corrrect [13:51] i ask again,how i can install amd drivers? [13:51] Robertica95, yes you can install amd and please be patient [13:51] Robertica95, I'm behind the great firewall and my internet is throttled ... [13:52] MonkeyDust: plz send it to me [13:52] MAF: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com/msg13832.html === Guest64506 is now known as jevon [13:52] cfhowleft,im patient,i wait for your answer === jevon is now known as jevon_ [13:52] ikonia: What's CTCP [13:52] ? [13:52] :) [13:53] wepslame: it was me looking at what irc client you where using [13:53] wepslame: as your connection didn't drop I wanted to check how you where connected [13:53] ikonia: I see, hang on, i want to send a pastebin output from the terminal [13:53] wepslame: why, you've not done the test yet [13:53] wepslame: what is there to show me until you've done the test [13:54] Robertica95, my connection is blocking out. ask in channel again - someone will know [13:54] okay [13:54] now i go to eat,i come back in 10-15 min [13:55] Lucid_Lynx_LTS, you can use "nice" in terminal to change the priority or use a task manager gui tool [13:56] hi all, im still looking for a solution to synchronize a local calendar and tasks with google calendar - to synchronize it with my android phone. using thunderbird, i cant get the tasks to synchronize ... is there a better solution? [13:56] a different client or maybe another calendar besides google that i can still synchronize with an android phone? [13:56] i need help updating a kernel, im stuck [13:58] rhumbot: make your own calendar with owncloud.org :) [13:59] ikonia: I've done the test, iwconfig's output was the same as before [13:59] wepslame: which is.... [14:01] wepslame: ah, you've just sent it to me in a private message (in future please use a pastebin, it's easier to share info) [14:01] wepslame: ok - as you can see from that output, there are TWO cards with wireless extensions that are not configured, [14:02] wepslame: that suggest either a.) the kill switch isn't working b.) you didn't do the test right [14:02] ikonia: I wanted to use pastebin, but thought this would be faster [14:03] ikonia: Which part says that they are not configured? [14:04] Hello guys [14:04] hi [14:04] hi [14:04] ikonia: ? [14:05] wepslame: "not associated to any access point" [14:05] I just installed xubuntu 12.04 , but when I log in it always takes xfce session instead of xubuntu session even though xubuntu session is selected on the log in screen [14:05] wepslame: no ESSID [14:05] ikonia: I see [14:05] Oh, but hang on [14:05] ikonia: You said [14:06] 1. Turn off the PC; 2: Turn the killswitch to off; 3: Do 'iwconfig' and send me the output [14:06] ikonia: I did that, in that order [14:07] wepslame: correct, it should not be showing any cards if the killswitch is disabling them [14:07] wepslame: or it should be only showing your usb card, as the kill switch should disable the internal kcard only [14:08] ikonia: Yes, but why would that kill-switch, also disable my USB interface? :/ [14:08] wepslame: it doesn't [14:08] wepslame: that's the whole point [14:08] <_87xman> Hi all! [14:08] hi [14:08] <_87xman> Wahat's up? [14:08] ikonia: So why i can't connect to a network? [14:08] wepslame: the cards are not configured, [14:09] hjkj [14:09] ikonia: So why i can't connect to a network? [14:09] wepslame: the cards are not configured, [14:09] I just installed xubuntu 12.04 , but when I log in it always takes xfce session instead of xubuntu session even though xubuntu session is selected on the log in screen [14:09] any help on this [14:09] ikonia: So how could i configure them, and what is meant by "configuring the cards"? Connecting them to an AP? [14:10] ikonia: I have basic knowledge [14:10] wepslame: correct [14:10] ikonia: So i may ask stupid questions, but that's it... [14:10] <_87xman> So I'm use Cinnamon desktop from ppa. I think it's a great altern destop for Ubuntu users. I'm use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. What about you? [14:10] ikonia: So, should i connect to the same network using the both cards? [14:11] wepslame: no, you only configure the 1 card you want to use [14:11] pratz: best thing i can think of is... see if you can hard code it in a conf file for your displat manager [14:11] wepslame: if you configure them both to the same network, it will cause a lot of problems [14:11] im back [14:11] can someone help me? [14:11] Yeah, a collision will occur i suppose [14:11] how i can install amd drivers? [14:11] Anden: do you know where is the conf file located ? [14:11] for graphics or what? [14:12] all drivers [14:12] <_87xman> On jokey-gtk [14:12] <_87xman> with [14:12] pratz: sorry. dont even know what display manager xubuntu is running by default. maybe you'll have better luck in their own irc channel? [14:13] ikonia:Should i turn off the internal with the kill switch, and see if the external (USB) card will stay active? [14:13] <_87xman> lsub [14:13] can someone help me???i ask again. How i can install all amd drivers?? [14:13] <_87xman> lsusb [14:13] Anden: but is this related to display manager or session manager ? [14:14] wepslame: thats what I asked you to do !!! [14:14] <_87xman> Robertica95 so please read help. It's a very simple thing. [14:14] Anden: I am facing the problem when loggin in with xubuntu session, but still I get xfce session [14:14] wepslame: that was the test I asked you to do - shutdown the laptop, disabled the card with the kill switch, power on and look at iwconfig to see what cards can be seen [14:14] <_87xman> KISS :) [14:14] ok,i will [14:15] pratz: yeah.. i thought maybe you can hard code which session to use in the dm conf file [14:15] Anden: ahhhh [14:15] ikonia: But i should've done that since i've "configured" the external wireless card? [14:15] pratz: iirc i did something similar for lightdm [14:15] wepslame: what ? [14:16] ikonia:Must go to eat, i assume it won't be a problem to help me when i come back, after 20-30 mins, if you are still here? [14:19] <_87xman> Robertica95 I can help you. So Wath's The AMD? Is it graphical card or AMD proc with GPU? [14:23] How do i alter the max. CPU-time of a given process, or how do i limit a given process to 50% cpu consumption [14:25] Lucid_Lynx_LTS: i dont know but are you familiar with "nice levels"? [14:25] <_87xman> KISS :) You have funn. [14:25] knightshade, eplained that one to me, but it doesn´t work for me.... [14:26] Anden [14:26] it sets the priority level of processes [14:28] <_87xman> Lucid_Lynx_LTS ! Have you got a latop or Pc? [14:33] Lucid_Lynx_LTS, 19 means lowest priority, -20 means highest priority. to set a process to lowest priority, you'd do: renice 19 $(pidof processname) [14:35] grub-pc had an update from synaptic. i clicked yes that I wanted the update but now a deb-conf dialog box is on my screen which says, GRUB install devices. I don't know which 1 to choose. I have 3 hard drives in my system, I know which drive is the / partition BUT not sure whether to choose the entire /dev/sda OR do I choose the partition /dev/sda1? [14:36] what would a default normal installation do? is it choose the entire drive? i think that's correct? [14:38] ubuntuaddicted, yes === ^Phantom2^ is now known as ^Phantom^ [14:40] serverbot, yes what? entire drive? [14:40] <^Phantom^> I think I've screwed something up. I tried to mount fd0 to /media/floppy0 on lubuntu, and the drive has just been sitting there spinning the diskette for 15 minutes, either that or is linux unable to read floppies anymore? [14:40] <^Phantom^> i did sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 -t msdos [14:41] <^Phantom^> and it's still just spinning [14:41] !floppy | ^Phantom^ [14:41] ^Phantom^: To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone [14:41] Good morning. I am setting up a Linux server, and I am trying to install/configure the no-ip server for free dynamic DNS. I ran make install, and followed through with the questions being asked. I am under the impression it should be running now. How do I check to see if it is currently a running service? [14:41] yes it will format you entire drive [14:42] <^Phantom^> Is there any way to stop the motor? [14:42] serverbot, i choose /dev/sda and clicked next BUT it just brings up a box that says install grub without configuring it, its like it's not taking effect [14:42] <^Phantom^> I don't want to eject the diskette and risk breaking the drive or something [14:43] mikeshollen: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might help you [14:43] Thank you [14:43] <^Phantom^> device manager is showing the drive as empty, too [14:45] !info fdutils | ^Phantom^ maybe this will work?

[14:53] Lix: security depends of what you actually want? [14:54] Lix: ive tested mullvad, a swedish vpn that supports ubuntu software, pretty decent aswell [14:55] <^Phantom^> Here's what I'm getting when I try to mount: mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [14:55] <^Phantom^> And it doesn't actually mount the diskette, it just sits and spins [14:55] <^Phantom^> doing this as root [14:56] lotuspsychje, PIA vpn is also a good choice if you don't mind $7US/mos [14:56] it has a swedish server [14:56] ^Phantom^: did you setup write-protect off on the floppy itself?

[15:50] toni are you using a different computer than the one you installed ubuntu on? I'm assuming yes... [15:51] toni54321_, did you check the icon in the top right corner? [15:51] yes [15:51] does it list your wifi when clicking onto it? [15:51] but dont apear nothing [15:52] i have dual bot with win 7 [15:53] and there is a wifi connection toni54321_, which shows you an empty list of available networks?

(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system [16:04] tried most of the things suggested there [16:05] Wiz_KeeD: because it can't read the file system where it's trying to update from / read from [16:05] I blacklisted all the nouveau stuff, but it doesn't seem to be picking up the integrated video card on boot. Any ideas? [16:05] ikonia, how come it worked before, was it because of the way I formatted the second time? [16:06] Wiz_KeeD: I've no idea, as I don't know what you are doing, you just asked what that error meant [16:07] Hiii === jose is now known as 64MAA3JWF [16:12] well I tried re-creating the bootable usb drive for ubuntu 12.04 32 bit, but it goes to that copyright line and then doesn't change when I try to install it on my netbook. === rehan_ is now known as Guest64125 [16:13] user82, does that mean I can't install 32 bit ubuntu? I have 64 bit crunchbang on it now, but a program I need won't work with it. [16:13] hi guys any channel for java related quires [16:13] ? [16:14] ceecee, usually it works. unless it is a really old machine without PAE, but then booting fails [16:15] I don't think it's really old [16:15] when I bought it it had windows 8 installed on it [16:16] Why is floodbod, flooding? [16:16] maybe you could upload a screenshot. go to "try ubuntu", connect your internet and then start the installer. this way you can grab a screenshot and upload it [16:16] I got rid of that for ubuntu, but it was so slow I put lxde on it, but lxde is ugly, so I switched to crunchbang, but crunchbang won't run scrivener. [16:17] er, what's try ubuntu? [16:17] it's an option on the live disk. [16:17] the live disk won't work [16:17] it just gives me a line about copyright and doesn't do anything else.

[16:22] don't blame you [16:23] I've got a EXT4 volume with 6.2GB free. I've deleted about 200MB of 550 files and written about 1500 files of 600MB to the disk. what are my chances of undeleting the original files? can I know if there has been corruption? [16:23] hey guys, any good and simple math plotting program? Like plotting linear equations in 3D and stuff? [16:23] Lope: why do you think there has been courrption [16:23] Lope: Slim to none [16:23] Lope: the odds of getting your files back are slim as a lot of other writes have happened [16:24] !undelete | Lope [16:24] Lope: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [16:24] Lope: use your backups [16:24] I'm new to linux. So I don't know how EXT4 treats deleted files. for example some filesystems might avoid writing over parts of the disk where files were deleted more recently? [16:25] okay I'll use other methods [16:25] TauNeutrino: scilab or genius might do [16:25] Luckily its only a small subset of the data that got corrupted. [16:25] why do you think there is corruption [16:25] there is nothing in what you've said to suggest any form of corruption [16:25] TauNeutrino: But I don't think anything is simple. [16:26] hmm. might be back. [16:26] hm [16:28] scilab? Isnt that the program with wich you have to start a server ?

I can't get any signals from the nearby Access Points with the USB adapter. Any ideas so we could solve this problem? [16:41] silly-billy: regarding the scanner, 1) is there a "scanner" group on ubuntu? in terminal "grep scanner /etc/group" 2) if so, are you a member? in terminal type "groups" to check.

[16:51] (data loss) [16:52] I added my user to the group scanner, but it still doesn't work. Any other ideas? [16:52] silly-billy: did you log out and back in? [16:52] zykotick9: yes [16:52] silly-billy: ya, i'm not shocked... i have a scanner that requires root to work as well. [16:52] cd [16:53] i found a solution with gparted to shrink the fs to the end of the disk at expand it later. but if gparted can somehow move files there has to be antother easy way to do it ?

[17:13] Well the Ubuntu bot is saying that i should repeat my question, in order to find an answer / solution. [17:13] Wiz_KeeD: run those commands [17:13] Which one? [17:13] hang on [17:14] Wad: tried Ubuntu 12.04 ? [17:14] Wiz_KeeD: do you have more than one harddrive? [17:14] wepslame: ifconfig ? could put the interface you don't like down ("Interface, you're a terrible burden on your mother.") [17:14] ActionParsnip, yes, actually, I removed the partition, recreated, and installed 12.04. Same issue: black screen [17:14] hi. how can i use the" softuer&update" for dowload nvidia driver? i open it but dont hapen any ting and ask me an autentificacion [17:14] Wad:: does ur machine have the ufi thing? [17:14] silly-billy: you restarted udev and disconnected/connected the scanner again? [17:14] Wad: what video chip are you using? [17:14] vusie, yes, but that's not an issue. [17:15] !nvidia | toni54321 [17:15] Wiz_KeeD: you possibly installed grub on the first drive, while the second is selected as boot device in BIOS [17:15] toni54321: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [17:15] ActionParsnip: NVIDIA GeForce GT755M GDDR5 2GB [17:15] SchrodingersSchat:Nice nickname, lol.

Thanks in advance [17:15] witquicked: where the windows bootloader is installed [17:15] yes [17:15] But I've disabled that in BIOS, so it's just using the integrated Intel chip now. [17:15] Wad: does your CPU have a GPU as well? [17:15] SchrodingersScat:Nice nickname, lol. Ontopic: But we are talking about wireless interfaces, should i use iwconfig instead? Thanks in advance [17:15] At least, that it the intent. [17:15] *Wiz_KeeD [17:15] llutz: would logging in and out be equivalent? [17:16] Wad: tried the boot option: nomodeset ?

[17:16] silly-billy: no [17:16] silly-billy: sudo udevadm trigger && sudo reload udev [17:16] I've blacklisted the nouveau drivers, too. I un-blacklisted them when I just disabled the NVidia in bios. [17:16] Wad: and: intel.nomodeset=1 [17:16] wepslame: afaik iwconfig is for setting options specific to wireless, but ifconfig can still put them up and down. ex. ifconfig wlan0 down # should put my wireless card down, unless some daemon in ubuntu puts it back up. [17:16] I haven't put that in, let me do it now: [17:16] Wad: and: intel.blacklist=1 [17:17] ok [17:17] Wait, why do I want to blacklist intel? [17:17] llutz: still no result [17:17] Don't I need that video driver? [17:17] SchrodingersScat: Thanks, i will try that now. [17:17] silly-billy: anything according that in syslog? [17:18] I want to do ANYTHING to get this laptop useable. [17:18] wepslame: running 'ifconfig' with no options should show you what you have access to, and so in your case you should see your two cards. [17:18] llutz: sorry, where can i see the log?

I have a petition to ask Rovio for a Linux version of Angry Birds for which I need signatures. [17:20] How can I get GLIBCXX_3.4.14 on Ubuntu 10.04? [17:20] vusie, COULD this be becuase of the ubuntu version [17:20] ? [17:20] I tried using the nouveau drivers, as well as the proprietary drivers from NVidia. [17:20] wad: i'm not surprised the problems are going, because both drivers are off [17:20] macky: #ubuntu-offtopic [17:20] JaredForTheWin, how do I turn on the Intel driver? [17:20] knightshade, sorry yes, you might be right? [17:20] In the past, it's always just automatically set itself up. [17:21] Thanks JaredForTheWin [17:21] Beats me why it's failing now.

[18:21] Darryl: You could ask in #django. The people there should know more [18:22] Wiz_KeeD: Install Windows first, then allow the Ubuntu installer to resize the Windows partition [18:23] Darryl: virtualenv is not a server [18:23] Darryl: you should use virtualenv both for development *and* production [18:23] gordonjcp, Sorry my mistake I did not do that much research on virtualenv [18:23] Darryl: virtualenv is a Python virtual environment akin to a chroot [18:24] :O [18:24] Did not know that.

[18:24] gordonjcp, That sounds cool. [18:25] Darryl: for serving Django apps in production, you should look at the documentation on deployment. I recommend nginx and uwsgi these days, although I *actually* use apache2 [18:25] will it be a trouble? [18:25] and hate it [18:26] Rory, if i do that linux will mess up grub [18:26] and win will start automatically [18:26] anyone in here do customer service?

[19:50] Rory: output of: cat /etc/issue -- Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l [19:50] Both Rory, just grub is not starting [19:50] booting directly to windows [19:50] Did not get a chance to install the boot repair thing [19:50] Hello, i'm trying to debug my .xsession / x-session-manager. My goal is to turn on my PC and have ~/.xsession run. This file contains 'exec i3' for my window manager. I'm not sure how to begin debugging this, but right now the screen goes black after grub and the Ubuntu logo. I have to ctrl+alt+f1 to command-line then I can run 'startx' to get to 'i3'. Any help is appreciated! [19:50] Wiz_KeeD: OK I'll wait [19:51] So no further investigating, run that? [19:51] Ironman: Yes please [19:51] Isn't it better to try to turn off uefi or smth? [19:51] Wiz_KeeD: ^ [19:51] (sorry Ironman ) [19:51] Wiz_KeeD: If you can, then do [19:52] Rory: I switch the terminal and logged in as another user. But the phone is not detected too [19:52] Abp: Can you do a full upgrade including the kernel by running: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:52] ok. [19:55] Rory: Should I delete the 51-android.rules? [19:56] Rory: done. all 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to removed and 0 not upgraded. [19:57] Aparently, I cannot maybe I need to make a bios update [19:57] does sudo apt-get update touch all installed packages too? [19:57] or just the distro [19:58] Guardian1: all packages that are installed with the packages system. not packages that you did download yourself [19:58] how can i see what options a package was compiled with [19:59] pvl1: technically, you cant. [20:01] Rory? [20:04] j0chn: I assume you checked in Nautilus to see if it was listed there? [20:05] exit [20:05] Wiz_KeeD: What? So you installed Ubuntu on a UEFI machine and it just loads Windows directly instead? [20:05] js2n: Try /quit [20:06] Wiz_KeeD: And if so, are you in the Live environment now? [20:06] SonikkuAmerica: unfortunatly nothing happens [20:07] j0chn: I didn't ask you that... I asked, did you open Nautilus (the "Files" application) and check the side bar under Devices? [20:07] Yes! [20:07] j0chn: OK. Good. Is USB debugging turned on? [20:07] Yes [20:08] j0chn: That's usually the problem... depending on the device, sometimes if the debugger is on, it won't connect as a mass storage device. [20:08] I just wonder because it already has been detected [20:09] And suddenly nothing happens anymore [20:09] j0chn: Nothing as in adb commands don't work, or nothing as in you can't access it as a storage device? [20:10] (Hard to believe, 2 types of nothing) [20:11] j0chn: ^ (by the way, you can use [ adb pull ] and [ adb push ] to receive and send files in debugging mode, respectively) [20:13] I did not get your question. Because english is not my native language. But if I got you right: My adb commands do not work because adb devices does not list any devices and no I can't access it as storage device. [20:16] hi.. ne1 to help me connecting with wireless? [20:16] Anyone up for troubleshooting a blackscreen? [20:17] <_Trullo> screensaver? [20:17] haha no such luck, unless it boots to a command prompt screensaver [20:18] Rory, configurigng grub-pc [20:19] the dev/sda on the harddrive or dev/sda5 [20:19] whish is where linux would be, i assume i pick the first one [20:19] why are you manually configuring grub [20:19] the installer will do that for you [20:20] Wiz_Keed , Rory has gone.. r u using 12.04? [20:21] Rory is nt replying for long. [20:22] After editing /etc/default/grub, I ran "update-grub". Should I have run "update-grub2" instead? Ubuntu 13.10. [20:22] my terminal is getting half hidden after restoring from taskbar. === sal is now known as antithesis_ [20:24] Rory, grub now starts but I have two windows loaders on sda1 and sda2 [20:24] now what? [20:24] <[deXter]|> Hi folks, looking at sources.list, is http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy-security the same as http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy-security/ ? [20:24] It occurred to me that Ubuntu gives all the credit to Linux and none to GNU, so I came up with the idea of renaming it to GNUbuntu. What'ya all think? :) [20:24] Abp, sorry didn't see that [20:24] Yes i am usint 12.04 [20:25] ikonia, I have uefi crap on my notebook and I installed windows first, then ubuntu alongside windows by leaving some space unpartitioned [20:25] WHOIS Wiz_KeeD [20:25] and then it boots directly into windows [20:25] <[deXter]|> Basically I want to replace security.ubuntu.com with a local mirror, so I was wondering how to go about doing that [20:25] I'm Paul :) nice to meet you [20:26] <[deXter]|> Is there a way I can browse the file listing of security.ubuntu.com via a web browser? [20:26] idk what it did or what happened to be honest but... [20:26] !apt-mirror | [deXter] [20:27] <[deXter]|> ? [20:27] ikonia, did I proceed in the correct manner? [20:27] [deXter]: maybe that is what you want: http://apt-mirror.github.io/ [20:28] <[deXter]|> No that's not what I want k1l_ [20:28] <[deXter]|> I want to browse the contents of security.ubuntu.com so that I can compare with a different mirror, so that I can replace it in my sources.list [20:28] Back to my usb connecting problem: I tried it with my galaxy s2 and that worked fine [20:30] Wiz_KeeD: still shouldn't need to apply grub menually [20:30] ikonia, that is what the tutorial suggested [20:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [20:30] or what do you mean? [20:30] hello.. Done upgrading.. wireless nt connecting. [20:30] Wiz_KeeD: "boot repair" [20:30] jockey not running. === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [20:31] hiii eveyone [20:31] ikonia, yes that's what I said myself but people here all suggested the same thing, it should not be needed since it worked perfectly on my other notebook with the same partitioning [20:31] what can I do? [20:32] look at why it's failing [20:32] that well help you understand the failure and how to fix it [20:33] Wiz_KeeD: When you go into BootRepair, under the Advanced tab, you can set it up to boot in UEFI mode there. [20:33] how do I do that? well...it's a bit late now [20:33] it's already installed and i'm updating the system [20:33] !UEFI | Wiz_KeeD This page (if the bot has one) will tell you about it. [20:33] !uefi | Wiz_KeeD This page (if the bot has one) will tell you about it. [20:34] PatrickDickey, so I needn't go through the proccess of reinstralling just setting up uefi? why doesn't it do that automatically? all notebooks after 2011 have it... [20:34] !uefi [20:34] 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 [20:34] yeah read about that a bit [20:35] Well if your laptop is like mine, the Ubuntu Live CD won't boot (graphics issues on mine) in UEFI Mode. So you have to install in BIOS Legacy mode, and use the steps there to fix it. [20:35] Wiz_KeeD: my notebook is post 2011 and doesn't have it [20:35] Note: Some BIOSes (e.g. American Megatrends' "Aptio", found on the Asus vivobook series) call Legacy mode "Compatibility Support Module" or simply "CSM". [20:35] * PatrickDickey can't even get Windows 7 to boot in UEFI mode... Stupid Toshiba laptops. :S [20:35] I do have american megatrends and asus indeed but no such setting, maybe I should update bios? [20:36] At least i'm not alone PatrickDickey === A is now known as Guest60638 [20:36] no such settings to boot in bio/legagy etc [20:36] Wiz_KeeD: If you scroll over to Advanced, the bottom most entry (System Configuration?) Is where it's located. [20:36] you are talking about the bootloader now PatrickDickey ? [20:36] Nope. In BIOS. [20:37] What I ended up trying (and I'm still trying it) is to install Ubuntu Server in UEFI mode, and then add the desktop later. === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [20:40] I just installed with gpt/(u)efi; this helped a lot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [20:41] PatrickDickey, I will try but I doubt i will have such a setting [20:41] So what should I be looking for exactly? [20:42] quiet here [20:42] k0d3g3ar: shh you woke me up. do you have a question? [20:43] Ok PatrickDickey, over in advanced in bios/uefi whatever it's called [20:43] yes what is the air speed if unladenbswallow? [20:44] air speed of an unladen swallow? [20:44] well is it an african swallow or...? [20:44] k0d3g3ar: African or European? [20:44] POSt logo type, start easy flash, play psost sound, internal pointing device, wke on lid open, power of energy saving asus usb charger+ in battery mode, intel virtualization technology intel aes-ni, sata configuration, graphics configuration, intel anti-theft technology, usb confi, network stack [20:44] that's all [20:44] lol [20:44] Wiz_KeeD: What are the tabs at the top of the BIOS window? [20:45] If the "additional drivers" isn't picking up my graphics card, should I just install the correct driver from the repo or is there something else I need to do (or alternatively, should I install the driver from nvidia)? [20:45] Main, Advanced, Boot, Security, Save & Exit [20:45] that's it [20:45] Main has just time and date nothing else [20:45] tgm4883: prioritise the repo ones to try first [20:46] Wiz_KeeD: And under Advanced, you have what you listed above, right? What's under Boot? [20:47] Launch PXE OpROM - disabled [20:47] Boot option priorities with boot option 1 p0: toshiba blabla (hdd) [20:47] boot option 2 P2: Matshita dvd-rom (optical drive) [20:47] CD/DVD Rom drive bbs priorities [20:47] and Hard Drive BBS priorities [20:47] Ok, which asus model is your laptop? [20:47] also delete boot option [20:48] Wiz_KeeD: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:48] Asus R501VB-S3116D === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [20:48] daftykins, ok, will do. shutting down lightdm and installing nvidia-319-updates now [20:48] Hello [20:52] Wiz_KeeD: When you boot up, hit F12, and if you get a Boot Menu, see if you have the option to boot in both UEFI or CSM (Legacy) mode. If you do, it will look like UEFI Boot to CD-ROM and then Boot to CD-ROM (or something like that). [20:54] PatrickDickey, i remember trying f12 nothing happend [20:55] You might need to update your BIOS then. See if one of their updates adds that capability or not. [20:55] hmm opens bios but no new options [20:56] hi [20:56] It is updated but there is no mention of the changes... [20:56] Wiz_KeeD: Under one of your tabs, do you see something like Intel Rapid Storage Technology? [20:56] whe i cen download the nvidia driver for ubuntu 13-10 [20:57] PatrickDickey, Intel Virtualization Technology === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [20:58] Wiz_KeeD: Have you disabled "Fast Startup" in Windows 8? [20:58] hello. Is there any way to run a script at a specific date and time like 2015-12-09 11:15 [20:58] Where in windows 8? [20:58] !cron | rasu [20:58] rasu: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto === Kurko_ is now known as Kurko [20:59] Can someone recommend me a channel dedicated to Wireless Networking, Encryptions and similar things? Thanks in advance. [20:59] So... uhm... is there a way to tell exactly what motherboard I have on my Ubuntu machine? [20:59] where i can download the nvidia driver for ubuntu 13-10 [20:59] ? [20:59] I also have a tab system setup in grub [20:59] knightshade: can i set year in cron?? [21:00] ABC: it is in the repos: apt-cache search nvidia [21:00] i've used ssh keygen on the "local machine" to create my SSH Key Pair and then i used ssh-copy-id to copy the public key into the "remote host" and then I changed PermitRootLogin to without-password and tried to login, as per this tut and it's still asking for my password https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2 oh and i restarted ssh on the remote machine too [21:00] Wiz_KeeD: Under Control Panel, Power Options, What does the power button do. [21:00] ABC, You can also download it from the NVIDIA website its under NVIDIA Unix Drivers [21:00] In windows PatrickDickey ? [21:00] how i can di it [21:00] Is this even os specific? [21:00] wepslame: #linux-wireless [21:00] esde, Did you do an service ssh restart ? [21:01] ok it work i think [21:01] Wiz_KeeD: Yes. That's where you disable Fast Startup. Then in BIOS, make sure you disabled Secure Boot. [21:01] ABC, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [21:01] ABC: apt-cache search nvidia; then install the driver supporting your hardware. [21:01] PatrickDickey, tghere is no such thing as secure booti n my bios [21:02] Either way, what's the difference since I've updated grub now? [21:02] Wiz_KeeD: So, you can boot to either Windows or Linux now? [21:02] PatrickDickey, after running the bootloader thing yes [21:03] My question was: 1.why did i need to do that? adn 2.why do I have two windows startups? [21:03] Good deal then. :) [21:03] ok now i'm on the nvidia site and i have an amd 64 [21:03] hello. Is there any way to run a script at a specific date and time like 2015-12-09 11:15 in cron i dont think i can set the year. [21:03] ABC: Then you want a driver that's x86_64 or just plain 64-bit. [21:04] <_dib_> When I do CTRL+ALT+1, and get to tty1, I login as root and do startx, then I go to CTRL+ALT+7, to get to my normal account. But when I go back to CTRL+ALT+1, I have to do CTRL+ALT+Z and then startx again [21:04] <_dib_> Is there a way to just resume it? [21:04] <_dib_> Because it seems to still be running [21:04] yes [21:04] Rallias, yes [21:04] rasu, x86-64 = amd64 [21:04] long version? [21:05] PatrickDickey, you mean to say that I needn't do all that bootloader fixing thing and I could just uncheck that option? [21:05] And it would have shown grub? [21:05] rasu: In your crontab, it should show you the format. Put the time in in that format. like 11 15 00 12 09 2015 /script-to-run [21:06] Wiz_KeeD: You had to do it, because GRUB probably installed in CSM mode, not UEFI mode (which is why it would boot right to Windows). As for the two windows startups, I'm not sure. [21:06] <_dib_> Does anyone have an answer to my question? Before it goes out of sight. [21:06] Then what is the point of disabling the fast startup PatrickDickey ? [21:07] Wiz_KeeD: Because when you start up from a cold boot (powered off), Windows will just start itself. It hibernates (more or less) instead of actually shutting down. [21:08] Wiz_KeeD: So, in other words, with Fast Startup enabled, it bypasses the bootloader altogether. [21:08] PatrickDickey: in my crontab i can see minute hour dayofmonth month dayofweak [21:09] rasu, then I'm not sure if you can set it for a particular year. Plus, I'm not sure why you'd want to run a script one time in the future (at least one time that's further out than one year from today). [21:09] PatrickDickey, yet it didn't bypass grub at any time [21:10] now i'm downloading, whe finish what i have to do? [21:12] daftykins, that seems to have worked great, other than now I've run the unigine heaven benchmark and want a second video card for SLI :) [21:12] PatrickDickey: i dont know if i will use it but i want to have the possibility [21:12] ABC, Not for Ubuntu but should be helpful http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/centos-nvidia.html [21:12] PatrickDickey: do you know if theres any other whay than cron? [21:12] Wiz_KeeD: Well if it's still enabled, I'd say that grub loaded the windows bootloader, which basically started up from hibernation. [21:12] ouch! [21:13] rasu: I'm not sure. I don't think they intended it to be used that far in the future, because you can't guarantee that the script (or even the computer) will still be available then. [21:13] is Opera available for ubuntu? [21:13] hassen_, yes [21:13] tgm4883: haha - SLI isn't that great imo, better to have a newer single-card [21:13] <_dib_> hassen, you know you can just check that yourself, right? [21:14] daftykins, I've got a GTX 760, but I just found the tessellation option in this benchmark and it makes it look amazing. Takes my FPS from 30 to 15-18 though [21:15] hehe === alexander is now known as iko1 [21:18] PatrickDickey, it's also scanning and reparigin drive d every time when loading windows wtf [21:19] hi how can i take copy all the mysql folder with its database and tables to store it in another pc? [21:19] Not so sure this is the right channel: Doesn't the ubuntu ld support --sysroot? Any toolchain ppl around? It sais it does, but after spending hours debugging, I still picks up libs from the system and not from sysroot [21:20] Wiz_KeeD: Fast Startup. ;) Do you just have Windows 8 and Linux, or do you have Windows 8, Windows 7/Vista, and Linux? [21:20] win 8 and linux [21:20] kal_, Try the mysqldump tool [21:21] And what is Drive D? Is it a data drive, that's shared between both of them? [21:21] adamu: how? [21:22] kal_, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+use+mysqldump+on+linux [21:22] Basically, Wiz_KeeD, if you have Fast Startup enabled, and boot to anything other than Windows 8, the next time you boot to it, it realizes that something changed on one of the drives (because your other operating system loaded the drive). So it does a checkdisk on it. [21:23] Today I upgraded to 13.10 my welcome screen is not coming but my terminal is working.Please help. [21:23] It doesn't show anything on the screen but my terminal works. [21:24] anish[1]: try startx and see if that loads. If it doesn't, then it should give you an error message. [21:24] let me try [21:25] anish[1], try sudo service lightdm start [21:25] http://pastebin.com/6H1G5rgA shouldnt the pub key be id_rsa.pub and private by id_rsa?

[21:30] Hi there, I have recently installed Ubuntu 13.10 on a ASUS ZenBook, and everything is working fine except the touchpad's rightclick button. Two finger scroll, click-and-drag etc all work just fine, but not rightclick from the button. I have tried the solutions provided here; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#Touchpad without success. Any ideas? [21:30] ok can u giv me the comand? [21:31] ABC, ./NVIDIA*.run [21:31] !nomodeset | anish[1] [21:31] anish[1]: 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 [21:31] anish[1], Graphic drivers may not follow a distro upgrade. [21:32] Beldar: ok let me try this option [21:33] yes i'm usin mow nomodeset. what can i do for runig the driver from hte termimal [21:33] In xinput, the touchpad is identified as ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad [21:34] anish[1], also check post 3 here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1968492 [21:35] states 12.04 but still usable [21:35] for some reason on ubuntu 13.10 i cannot use the left shift key + control combo (nothing happens). i would expect to be able to be able to highlight different things. any idea why this isn't working? [21:35] ABC, run the NVIDIA driver from the terminal as root then it should blacklist nouveau (if you have nouveau loaded I assume you do) then you will have to reboot and then run the NVIDIA installer and it should work [21:35] Beldar: i actually don't know how to use grub.Now I am on my grub and i gave acpi_osi= but i don't know how to boot the kernel after that. [21:36] Beldar: so i am reading about it. [21:37] hello everyone. I recently re-installed ubuntu 12.04, and I can no longer use Shift+Enter as a shortcut key-combination (I get the message that the combo is too generic). Is there any way to override that? [21:37] anish[1], I believe the boot from there is ctrl-x could be wrong, in that grub e for edit you would insert nomodeset than boot, do you know the graphic hardware you have? [21:37] Beldar: yes nvidiea [21:38] how caan i run it from hte terminal? what i have to write? === talsamon is now known as Guest38538 [21:39] anish[1], figured as such, nvidia drivers do not follow a distro upgrade in general, did you use a ppa for it or a proprietary driver [21:39] Beldar: i bought this notebook with ubuntu installed. [21:40] Beldar: so whenever i used to update it used to work automatically. [21:40] how can i figure out which app is getting bound do a specific key combination? === carlo_ is now known as Guest13649 [21:40] anish[1], Ah, new?, what was the manufacturer? [21:40] Beldar: but i am getting power off ubuntu screen. [21:40] Beldar: dell [21:41] anish[1], Cool, so you have distro upgraded before? [21:41] Beldar: no, I upgraded myself by just clicking on ubuntu screen. [21:41] how can i run nvidia from hte terminal? what i have to write? [21:42] anish[1], I Mean you have on this computer upgraded from one release to another before?

I upgraded to many earlier version and didn't have this problem.Yesterday night i tried updating again as i was emboldened by the fact that i had previuosly in the past had upgraded successfully. [21:50] exsist any softwer for downloadin and installin all the drivers? [21:51] anish[1], right, but after the upgrade to 13.10, the issue now was you could not get to the desktop, am I correct here? [21:51] control + shift + c and v don't work in terminal ; ubuntu 13.10; ideas? [21:51] arooni-mobile, gnome-terminal? [21:52] Beldar: yes, as the screen is not coming up after ubuntu screen loads the initial "loading ...." screen.So i am using my office laptop to connect to IRC channel. [21:53] kostkon, yes; as well as any other app for text entry (to move highlighter faster when selecting text via keyboard). to be clear the 'right' shift + control combo works; this one doesnt [21:53] on the left doesnt work [21:53] anish[1], Cool so my guess is reloading the correct driver is what is needed, I'm not sure on removing ant there now though. Run in the terminal software-properties-gtk to open the software sources and look in additional drivers. [21:54] *any [21:54] arooni-mobile, hmm ok [21:55] nvidia driver dont run. hiw can i run in form terminal [21:55] Beldar:it fails [21:55] anish[1], One can remove and load drivers from a terminal outside the desktop, I just wanted to at least get you to the desktop so someone who would be more knowledgeable in this area can get you all set up. [21:55] Beldar:segmentatino fault [21:55] anish[1], when are you getting this error? [21:56] when i type software-properties-gtk in terminal [21:56] Beldar: anyway i will load up previous version now.As i don't want to waste my time in doing all this crap [21:56] anish[1], hmm, not sure there can you get to the additional drivers in another way, I assume you are familiar with this already. [21:57] Beldar:yes, but i don't want to do that messy process... [21:57] anish[1], Cool, if you think you have a workable answer. [21:57] Beldar: thanks buddy for the help though. [21:57] anish[1], No prob. [21:58] salve a tutti === funkyHat1 is now known as funkyHat [22:00] What exactly does "Could not deduce (a ~ [a])" mean [22:03] Is Ubuntu Open Source?

I make some with SUSE Studio [22:19] If I install windows and the linux grub does not load because of UEFI thing, should I boot into live-cd and then run boot fix thing and reinstall grub or just change a setting? [22:19] marjan, If you still have problems, state what you have tried to the channel and include that wifi hardware info. ;) [22:20] Is this the right place to ask about a hardware (touchpad) problem? Or is that a kernel thing? [22:20] ludvigsj, This is general ubuntu issues, so state the issue. [22:21] to the channel [22:21] Ok. How do i get a Linux Kernal so i can make my own Linux Distribution? [22:21] LayAnotherBlock: Download it at www.kernel.org [22:21] LayAnotherBlock, Nice dream, there are many already. ;) [22:22] LayAnotherBlock: and it is called "kernel", not "kernal". [22:22] thanks i was looking for easy way :) [22:22] LayAnotherBlock: i think your issue suits better into ##linux than in this channel === hub is now known as Guest38472 [22:22] marjan, Hopefully that is it. [22:22] LayAnotherBlock: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [22:22] I have a non-functioning touchpad on my Acer E1-572. Seems as though it registers only a very small, sporadic set of the stream of events sent from the hardware. [22:23] hi, is there a good or official guide to installing AMD drivers on Saucy? [22:23] (As in if I log the touchpad input i see input only once every second or so while moving my finger around) [22:23] perry: install the fglrx from the ubuntu repo [22:23] !fglrx | perry [22:23] perry: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [22:24] (It works in Windows, so not a hardware issue) [22:24] those drivers are up to date with whatever AMD pushes out yes?

[22:25] perry: they are not the most recent. but they are made working with ubuntu [22:25] help [22:25] perry: you can install the amd drivers from their homepage. but ubuntu cant support that. if something goes wrong ask amd for help [22:26] ok. i got the kernel, and i'm currently unpacking the .tar file i got. Now what? [22:27] klehmc: I have tried the synaptiks thing. The touchpad is detected, but I don't get all the touch-messages.

I've just installed Ubuntu 13.10 and it's a totally different desktop to me ... how do i find all the programs I've installed etc... is there a special program to use ?? [22:31] ludvigsj, No problem, I see this thread referenced in another help blog, and it was multiple issues. [22:32] ludvigsj, I searched with your computer model, ubuntu and touchpad is all. [22:32] Bloodcage, KDE [22:32] amm... use the terminal for update of data base [22:32] thanks dougl but how do i launch it?? there is noch cmd line at all [22:33] very confusing this version [22:33] ok... Where do i start making my linux distribution from? the filesystem? the apps? do i make the desktop environment? [22:33] wath [22:33] LayAnotherBlock, Try ##linux this is ubuntu support. ;) [22:33] go to the system/administration/ [22:34] "sudo apt-get install kde-desktop" I think will do it. [22:34] Bloodcage: when you move the mouse down the screen, you've got a bar with many links including terminal [22:34] and browser gestor of aplications [22:34] the tastbar is on the left side and no terminal installed though [22:35] noo [22:35] softwaRE center, hds and so on [22:35] LayAnotherBlock, I believe you have to register with freenode to get to ##linux however [22:35] "sudo apt-get install kde-desktop" I think will do it. Bloodcage [22:36] thanks dougl... but i've no commandline where i can type it in [22:36] lol [22:36] like a noob.... this version is stressing me a lot [22:36] Ctrl Alt F1 to get a standard terminal [22:37] Bloodcage, Ctrl Alt F1 to get a standard terminal [22:37] I cannot use ##linux.

[22:49] the remote mahine 2 will not accept my key :/ [22:50] esde: did you add your client public key to the hosts authorized_keys? [22:50] yes [22:51] esde: what about the rights of the .ssh folder? 600 [22:51] compare the authorized_keys of remote machine 1 and 2. [22:51] on local or remote? [22:51] remote [22:51] 600 for the ssh folder will render it unusable. [22:51] 0700 for the .ssh folder. [22:52] -rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 391 Dec 7 16:31 .ssh/authorized_keys [22:52] i think i set 777 to troubleshoot erms [22:52] too many rights [22:52] *p [22:52] Esde: not wise, or secure [22:52] esde: thats not going to work. Change permissions to 0600 on that file. [22:52] Wish people didnt know about 777 [22:53] ok [22:53] changed [22:53] ActionParsnip++ [22:53] hehe [22:53] linux does allow you really mess stuff up [22:54] hell yea it does [22:54] bekks: are you sure for the 600 on the folder? [22:54] Beldar: all OSes do [22:54] i dont understand the underlying issue though. followed the same commands for two different machines. Same os, same release, etc. One works, one doesn't [22:54] ubuntu-studio: Yes I am. Without execution permission you cannot enter a folder to read the content. [22:54] god help you if you want to manually update your NVIDIA drivers on ubuntu, you WILL lose your whole OS install [22:54] ubuntu-studio: the .ssh folder needs 0700 [22:54] ActionParsnip, true but open source makes it easier in this area. [22:54] Ubuntu-studio: only the owner needs access. The other zero access keeps anyone else off [22:54] WeLinuxNow: Thats not true. I did it several times now, without problems. [22:54] bekks: thanks. It was old memory [22:55] ok so 600 authorized and 700 .ssh [22:55] still does not work [22:55] i've had to do a reformat every time i've installed nvidia drivers [22:55] Beldar: changing access to files in Windows will cripple the OS [22:55] and i mean the .run from their site [22:55] esde: What are the permissions of the other files in there? [22:55] not the drivers on the ubuntu repos [22:55] Beldar: the registry is very sensitive too [22:55] 2 different machines [22:55] user error? maybe, i doubt it, i followed instructions to a T [22:55] ActionParsnip, Yes, my statement was a broad one, generaized is all. [22:55] WeLinuxNow: why not use the packaged driver? [22:56] Beldar: gotcha [22:56] they're old version [22:56] nvidia updates like twice a month [22:56] http://pastebin.com/RwSGJdHB [22:56] i think i'm still on 319 with the ubuntu packages [22:56] nvidia is on 331? [22:56] something like that [22:56] WeLinuxNow: With Ubuntu packages, I am on 331-. [22:56] let me check my version, stand by [22:56] WeLinuxNow: maybe but does the packaged driver work? [22:57] yea, I'm on 319.32 [22:57] thats the latest version for ubuntu repos [22:57] how are you on 331? [22:57] WeLinuxNow: then where is the problem. Driver is doing what is needed yes.... [22:57] hi all, i am able to get ssh without password working on all but one machine. i have searched the net, most responses say to look at the logs, which i have but i cant see anything wrong. any ideas out there? thanks. [22:57] WeLinuxNow: I am using this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat [22:57] well with later drives comes better gaming performance [22:57] ActionParsnip, I removed home 3 times when I started on ubuntu, hehe not knowing even that it was easily fixable, this was the start of my computer use altogether. [22:58] WeLinuxNow: do you know that for sure? [22:58] WeLinuxNow: what nvidia gpu do you have? [22:58] are those permissions off?? [22:58] ActionParsnip: they don't release drivers to make the performance worse, right? i am on a GTX 670 [22:58] WeLinuxNow: the update may not affect your gpu. But you knew that [22:59] esde: We dont know, since you didnt pastebin them until now. [22:59] on my windows drive nvidia updates me to 331 [22:59] so i'd assume it effects me [22:59] i don't read all the release notes though.... [23:00] WeLinuxNow: Assumptions based on Windows are wrong, most likely, when it comes to Linux. [23:00] WeLinuxNow: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-331-93-beta-drivers-released [23:00] WeLinuxNow: doesnt seem to affect your gpu [23:00] hey peeps, i tried to configure grub to pick up on my windows installation . i have tried the following things: 1: os- prober then reconfigured grub. 2: boot-repair from a ppa, advanced configurations and default. 3: pointing to the other hard drive in BIOS this didn't work as grub is on both drives. boot flag is on both too [23:00] so I should still be sitting at 319? [23:00] WeLinuxNow: you are one of the blind "newer is better" [23:01] i may subscribe to that belief from time to time.. [23:01] the only thing i haven't tried is it manually edit the grub.conf file to make it forcefully pick up the windows drive. [23:01] i still don't see why 331 would make my system unrecoverable the couple times i tried it [23:01] WeLinuxNow: its not always the case. If the driver is giving 3D accelleration then its fine. Unless you get some sort of issue why fix what isnt broken? Its madness [23:01] even if it didn't effect me [23:02] WeLinuxNow: I dont see why you try it again and again when you always break it. Just use a PPA. [23:02] i was experiencing some graphical problems in killing floor, i figured the latest drivers would help [23:02] the PPA won't update me past 319, i figured the PPA wasn't up to date === ItTakesTwo_ is now known as ItTakesTwo [23:03] esde: was known_hosts file updated? Because the date associated looks old [23:03] Is the 319 beta still? [23:03] ubuntu-studio, how should i update it? [23:04] WeLinuxNow: 14.04 has 331 debs you can install btw [23:04] esde: by setting the identity of your calling machine. But can't remember the syntax. Maybe google [23:04] 14.04? ubuntu 14.04? [23:04] yes [23:04] trusty [23:05] WeLinuxNow: Did you read about that PPA I mentioned above...? [23:05] i've read up on x-swat [23:05] added the PPA, but i'm still at 319 [23:05] WeLinuxNow: Then look at the package names and versions. [23:05] and known hosts on remote right? [23:05] WeLinuxNow: xswat is notoriously unstable and not for production systems [23:05] yes [23:06] ActionParsnip: I suppose I'll just stick with the 319 till ubuntu updates it itself [23:06] I have restored with deja-dup backup several times. In each case I have clicked on a folder icon and selected " [23:06] esde: tuto on http://doc.fedora-fr.org/wiki/SSH_:_Authentification_par_cl%C3%A9 [23:06] WeLinuxNow: i dont understand why you arebso hung up on it when it wont get you anything [23:07] I have restored with deja-dup backup several times. In each case I have clicked on a folder icon and selected "Revert to previous version." How does restore work if the folder has been deleted so that the folder icon is no longer present? [23:07] ActionParnsip: I'm not really hung up on it, I was just saying earlier, updating the drivers manually makes ubuntu dead [23:08] ActionParsnip: if you update the nvidia drivers manually, (remove yours, install theirs, reboot restart x server blah blah blah), ubuntu boots to a blinking cursor [23:09] WeLinuxNow: you may need an xorg.conf file to load the driver. Also be sure the kernel module is built [23:10] ActionParsnip: I'm still somewhat new to linux. I still don't fully understand what a 'kernal' is [23:10] WeLinuxNow: the packaged versions are tried and tested under your release [23:10] i just emptied known_hosts on local and remote. issue persists [23:10] ActionParsnip: I've been on linux for less than a year, working on an IT degree right now that is showing me just how much I don't know about computers [23:10] WeLinuxNow: the kernel manages ram and hardware access by the OS. It is the core of the OS [23:11] ActionParsnip: so it's pretty much the layer under the OS? between the OS and the hardware? [23:11] Welinuxnow: yes, there are libs and APIs used bybthe apps to talk to the kernel. Its all about layers [23:12] ActionParsnip: I'm in intro to OS's right now. memory management is the current name of the game for this week === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [23:13] WeLinuxNow: Invest about a month for the first level. === talsamon is now known as Guest41515 [23:13] bekks: Come again? what do you mean? [23:13] WeLinuxNow: this layering allows you to have bits of it running on renote systems. In SSH you can use X forwarding and have applications displaying on a remote PC but running on a server system (like citrix). The system doesnt care where the X server is [23:13] WeLinuxNow: you wont learn that in a week. [23:14] bekks: Yea, I'm sure I won't learn everything. UoP has 5 week classes [23:14] I've been researching memory management for the past 2 hours, I have to write a 2 page paper on why memory management is so important when designing an OS. i'm not sure where to start [23:14] this weekend [23:16] WeLinuxNow: Now thats a homework. Good luck. [23:16] bekks: thanks. I thought I knew a lot about computers...I WAS WRONG === shah is now known as Guest64829 [23:19] ActionParsnip, bekks ubuntu-studio http://www.howtogeek.com/168156/fixing-authentication-refused-bad-ownership-or-modes-for-directory/ [23:19] chmod go-w ~/ was the command that did it [23:19] could someone point me in the right direction please question is way up there ^^ [23:20] Hello all, im trying to map a network drive and create a physical volume with command pvcreate(working on cloud project). I'm unable to succeed as network drive is not being shown as a device/storage block. Any pointers how to achieve this? can anyone pls let me know how to show a network drive in /dev/sd* instead of /media/* [23:20] esde: 0700 ... [23:20] it worked after i ran chmod go-w ~/ on the remote machine [23:20] Syeekick: do you have a dual boot and want Windows as default? [23:20] esde: ssh works fine, even with a group writable home. [23:21] Greetings, Just have a short question about the PING cmd under ubuntu. I was just wondering how did ping_cmd work, how it could tell that any host was alive or dead. I mean did it test the targeted host only on port : 80 ? or all ports so it could tell it was alive [23:21] shah0516: What is exporting this remote drive? [23:21] [23:21] fedgalaxy: It sends a ping pakcet [23:21] yeah on which port? [23:22] The default ping packet port [23:22] fedgalaxy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility)#ICMP_packet [23:22] fedgalaxy: you can telnet to port 80 to see if their is a service listening on the socket [23:22] hy [23:22] guys I managed to install windows and start the ubuntu live-cd in non-uefi mode [23:22] if i send packects using python, i must specify the port [23:22] ok [23:22] but it does not see another operating system at this point [23:22] ActionParsnip: NETCAT [23:22] quit [23:22] ActionParsnip, well i don't care what is defualt cause its easy to change the order on the grub splsash screen. the problem is my machine doesnt see the os on grub. its mounted and in tact [23:22] and I have to make a custom partition with ubuntu and install on it [23:22] any advice [23:22] ? [23:22] Buu: huh? [23:23] i wait for ubuntu 9.04.... come 9.04 this year? [23:23] just need it to display in grub so i can choose it [23:23] ActionParsnip: Stop recommending telnet as if it was a generic socket tool =[ [23:23] Buu: why, it works [23:23] ActionParsnip: Because it speaks telnet and everything that isn't telnetd *doesn't* speak telnet? [23:23] And we have a perfectly viable replacement? [23:24] dandedilia: 9.04 was released 200(9) in April (4)th month [23:24] dandedilia: please keep this channel clear for ubuntu support. [23:24] Wiz_KeeD: So do you actually have ubuntu installed right now? [23:24] Wiz_KeeD: I'm confused about what you're actually asking [23:24] Buu: telnet will succeed if the port is active, so yes it can be used to test sockets [23:25] buu, I have installed windows 8.1 and left a bit of unpartitioned space [23:25] now I am booting from dvd and it's the first time it's booting in non-uefi mode [23:25] Ok? [23:25] Install ubuntu on the empty space =] [23:25] and here it does not detect any other operating system installed (the installed 8.1 windows) [23:25] Ohh [23:25] it does not have the install ubuntu next to windows thing [23:25] Whats with everyone not detecting windows today [23:26] buu: I didn't get your question. I am trying to mount a drive that is shared from a windows pc (remote network) and trying to create a physical volume with that mounted space using 'pvcreate'. my purpose is to make this drive appear in the lvm file list and then I can allocate a volume to my cloud instance.. [23:26] Because most probably windows is installed in uefi mode and i've booted in non-uefi mode the dvd [23:26] What do you recommend here? [23:26] Wiz_KeeD: I've never tried it, I'd have to google.. [23:26] Bood in uefi and install ubuntu (which will end up booting windows directly and grub not showing, where I have to boot up live cd and use boot fix thing) or install it likethis? [23:26] ah ok [23:27] Surely there's some way to talk grub into seeing it [23:27] syeekick: if you run: sudo update-grub ,does it get detected? [23:29] How would I install Xubuntu 13.10 via network (PXE)? All wikis etc. say that an alternate Image is needed... which was last released for 12.04. [23:29] Wiz_KeeD, Have you tried bootrepair? [23:29] ActionParsnip, buu : port:80 concerns me the most because of http interface, so if I use a python program to test the availability of a range ip_addresses or i use the default ping cmd (ubuntu), there is no difference, thats your point? they will both give me good result? [23:29] Beldar, yeah If i install in uefi and use that it works but I end up with two instances of windows 8 in grub... [23:29] Issue with key mapping on new keyboard: http://pastebin.com/QUT0hXG1 [23:30] shah0516: Um, can't you just pvcreate a loopback file? [23:30] Wiz_KeeD, One is probably the recovery. [23:30] good to have if working [23:30] ActionParsnip, i done that and know it doesn't [23:30] Fedgalaxy: ping doesnt test ports. It simply tests logical connectivity (assuming you are not blocking icmp) [23:30] Beldar, they boot to the same thing [23:31] Wiz_KeeD, which is? [23:31] ahh ok , i see your point now [23:31] Fedgalaxy: if you want to test ip ranges you can use nmap [23:31] win 8 [23:31] syeekick: i have no experience of dual boot fixing. I single boot all my systems and always have [23:31] i will install in uefi mode the ubuntu and that's that [23:32] syeekick: maybe others can advise [23:32] it said secure boot not enabled just before booting from the cd [23:32] ActionParsnip, thanks any way :P [23:32] !bootinfo | syeekick [23:32] syeekick: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [23:33] Wiz_KeeD, so does the boot from from that dual windows in grub go to windows? [23:33] Jordan_U, dang ! [23:33] buu: yeah I can do that but my shared drive is not appearing as a loopback file. (I'm trying to assign more volume to my cloud space by extending the volume group) can you pls tell me how to mount this //servername/sharedname on loopback file? [23:33] Beldar, both options yes [23:33] im trying to configure an x server, and keeping getting this message: number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. im running ubuntu 12.10 intel 915 mobile graphics [23:33] let me install the ubuntu first, confirm the same problem that windows boots automatically and then go to repair and come back [23:34] shah0516: No I mean create the loopback file *inside* /sharename [23:34] Test [23:34] shah0516: Then add that file as a pv [23:34] ActionParsnip, yeah ,I could use nmap, but my only problem is : when "nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24", it tests only the last octet from 0 -> 255 , from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255, i want to test a range like this : 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 then 192.168.2.0 to 192.168.2.255, i cant everytime change the 3rd octet unless i code it, but how? [23:34] Beldar, I just hit standard repair without even the option to purge old kernels? [23:35] Wiz_KeeD, It sounds like you are not using it as of now hard to say, however if you have it and this double windows line is a huge deal, and you get no help here try this thread the bootrepair apps developer, and post the bootinfo summary. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post10871917 [23:35] fedgalaxy: Learn to code? [23:35] syeekick: Why "dang"? [23:35] fedgalaxy: Its literally 1 line [23:35] Jordan_U, cause its nice [23:35] yeah but with nmap, its only the last octet? [23:35] buu: thanks! can you give me some pointers on how to do that? ( create the loopback file *inside* /sharename) [23:35] so i need to make a loop or something [23:36] How do i make a Linux Filesystem? [23:36] Beldar, Ubuntu does not detect another os not even in UEFI mod [23:36] is it something to do with the latest ubuntu or smth? [23:36] is it a bug? === xubuntu is now known as Guest13222 [23:36] LayAnotherBlock: just code it ;p (you were already told to ask in ##linux since its not ubuntu support) [23:36] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/620XfKVi [23:37] what the hell is WRONG with this crap [23:37] kll_: I can't code And, ##linux dun wanna let me chat. [23:37] Wiz_KeeD, purging old kernels is easy, not sure what your referring to. You had a install that showed grub with two windows boots after using the bootrepair right? [23:37] LayAnotherBlock: man mkfs [23:37] shah0516: http://www.unix.com/showthread.php?t=152762 ? [23:38] buu, what do you suggest? system ('nmap -sP 192.168.x.0/24'); make x in a loop? [23:38] LayAnotherBlock: the bot told you already how you register with freenode. for problems with that process ask in #frennode [23:38] LayAnotherBlock: do you mean format a partition to a Linux filesystem? [23:38] buu: thanks. I will check that [23:38] fedgalaxy: Um, if thats the desired behaviour, sure? [23:38] syeekick: The reason that os-prober isn't finding any Windows installation is that you don't have any bootable Windows installation. Fix Windows (so that it's actually bootable), then os-prober will be able to find it. [23:39] Fedgalaxy: surely thay is 192.168.0.0/16 ? [23:39] Beldar, in the past yes [23:39] not anymore [23:39] now it does not detect the windows OS [23:39] ActionParsnip: No. I'm making my own linux distribution and i need to know how to make the FS [23:39] i t was bootable before the installation of ubuntu [23:39] Wiz_KeeD, And why is that install gone? [23:39] shah0516: http://doc.infosnel.nl/funlvm.html this might be slightly saner, heh [23:39] LayAnotherBlock: you can't code and you want to make a complete distro? [23:40] i reformatted [23:40] syeekick: Did you use automatic partitioning or manual in Ubuntu's installer? [23:40] Wiz_KeeD, Why? [23:40] LayAnotherBlock: please ask in #freenode for problems with ##linux. that is not ubuntu support [23:40] gparted [23:40] LayAnotherBlock: mk2fs.ext4 will make an Ext4 partition for you etc. Or is that not what you mean [23:40] because of that dual thingy, does it matter? [23:40] buu: :) [23:40] I can code. I'm learning [23:40] \lastlog boggle [23:41] !bootinfo | Wiz_KeeD [23:41] Wiz_KeeD: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems.

It is likely that was the install needed, and the dual windows lines might have been fixable or at the least something that was the only option, I gave you the link to the developers thread of the bootrepair app, they along with a couple others on the forums are really goo on these issues, and would use the bootinfo summary generated by that app. [23:42] boggle: use a / not a \ [23:42] good* [23:42] Jordan_U, : i used gparted to set up my shizzle. i didn't touch windows in the slightest [23:43] or the hard drive it sat on === derek is now known as Guest90464 === JotaK2 is now known as JotaK [23:44] Can someone tell me if it is possible to shutdown the computer at boot if it is not a certain time of day? I'm trying to get my kids to bed, but if I setup a scheduled shutdown, it occurs to me that it would be possible for them to sneak and turn it back on. [23:45] k1l_: thanks, lol, just got a weird new ergonomic keyboard with a significant learning curve [23:45] I m trying to installl latest nvidia drivers and tried using this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa but it doesn't work. [23:45] Subone: add an entry in cron for @startup then run a bash script to perform a check on the time and date and run a shutdown if certain situations are not satisfied [23:46] subone: You could do that via a signon script. I'm thinking check the time of day, if between certain times, then logoff [23:46] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa is it not valid ppa? [23:46] Chcha: why not use the nvidia-current from the official repos? [23:46] k1l_: no printing on any of the keys. looks sick, but takes some getting used to [23:46] ActionParsnip:how to do that? [23:46] ActionParsnip: I was thinking cron for the initial shutdown, so that would be an ideal solution I think [23:46] Issue with key mapping on new keyboard: http://pastebin.com/QUT0hXG1 [23:47] I will look further into cron, ty guys [23:47] Chcha: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ,no PPA needed. [23:47] subone: You would need to check if after HH:MM (PM Times) and before HH:MM (Before AM times).....Logout [23:47] subone: or simply take the laptop battery out of the machine [23:48] ActionParsnip:couldn't resolve archive.ubuntu.com [23:48] Wiz_KeeD, My point is you had a working install, many have to use the bootrepair to get everything set, grub is easily changed, removal of one of the windows lines was an easy option most likely. [23:48] MonkeyDust: It is not a laptop. Not sure what lead you to think it was. [23:48] Chcha: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [23:49] hello is there a way to determine what c headers a program that I am trying to compile with gcc is missing? [23:49] Subone: Cron probably not the solution, use the bash script as a logon script.....Even have it email you if the time check failed [23:49] ActionParsnip:13.10 [23:49] subone: then take the electricity cable with you, if the kids are not allowed to use the pc [23:49] Chcha: do you have web access on the system? [23:49] hikenboot, standard input output? [23:49] MonkeyDust: Thank you, no [23:50] no it doesnt mention what header it is missing [23:50] it could be its looking for streambuf.h [23:50] hikenboot, i suggest you download geany; compiler and debbuger [23:51] hikenboot, if the header is missing you should put it on the lib [23:51] Beldar, yes you are most right, now I know but it's too late, I will try to make the same setup tommorow [23:51] and place things back...just thought everything should have worked out of the box [23:51] fedgalaxy, how do I do that? [23:51] I will go to bed now it's late and will try again tommorow [23:51] Thanks a lot Beldar have a great night! [23:52] Wiz_KeeD, I understand, best of luck. ;) [23:52] hikenboot, do you have the header? did you download it? or you made it by yourself? [23:52] its a program which I got as source that only comes as source [23:52] jeffrey_f: You actually bring up a good point. Do I want to stop them from being able to login or do I want to also know who was attempting to login. So, perhaps a login script might be the way to go for this part. Is there a way to run a script at login, one that is not editable by the user? [23:53] it comes with a confdefs.h is that what you mean fedgalaxy [23:54] the confdefs.h mentions Have_CTYPE_H HAVE_REGEX_H HAVE STDLIB_H [23:54] jeffrey_f: nvm I see /etc/profile.d/ [23:54] subone:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/97137/how-do-you-run-a-script-on-login-in-nix [23:54] I'm also looking for other examples or just google -->Ubuntu bash login script [23:55] What is the minimal packages needed for i386/amd64 to boot? grub2 + linux-image? I'm working on testing some embedded debootstrapped image (in qemu). [23:55] hikenboot, i believe you want to compile the entire application in order to get it work, this what i know; when you want to compile en entire app, some headers need to be in the library so whenever compiler call them => find them, if those headers are missing from the Main library , your final app cannot be compiled, therefore you need to put ALL-IN the lib [23:57] subone: You could simply add the following command into System > Preferences > Startup Applications: bash /full/path/to/your/script.sh This should work as long as where ever you put the script is accessible to their profiles user [23:58] subone: Also, that may be changeable by them....depends on user permissions to remove the startup pgm [23:58] fedgalaxy how do i run it with geany? [23:58] it looks to be like an editor [23:58] is this the right program
