fedgalaxyhikenboot, i told you that before knowing that you had a zipped application that needed to be complied. I didn't know that you wanted to compile a source application from level 0. I thought you made main.c file who calls certain headers files which were absent from the main library folder.00:00

chchais it possible for me to downgrade from 13.10 to lower version with just command line???????00:16
chchaMy network is working and I have terminal working.So can i downgrade with command line?00:16
Beldarchcha, Nope you have to fresh install.00:17
chchaBeldar: oh ok....00:17
chchaBeldar: using live cd or USB.Is there any other way?00:18
Beldarchcha, You might address the problems on 13.10 to the channel though?00:18
hmf-pi:)00:18
Beldarchcha, You can use grub to boot an iso.00:18
chchaBeldar: but ISO should be copied before that right?00:19
=== AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away
Beldarchcha, downloaded00:19
chchaBeldar: ok you mean i should download ISO file and store that in some place and give the location of that ISO in grub?00:19
Beldarchcha, Yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot00:21
Beldarchcha, Not sure on resizing or removing the 13.10 if the iso is there when booted is all.00:22
Beldarchcha, One of your best tools thigh is the iso loaded to a dvd or usb though.00:23

pragmatismSo my IP tables are wide open, I can see znc running on the right port with netstat, but I can't hit it from outside my server.00:25
chchaBeldar:yes i asked my roommate and he has live usb but it has xubuntu installed so i will download the ubuntu on USB and try it.Should i use 13.10 and try it?Do you think it would work?00:27
Beldarchcha, I'm a little confused, your question was a downgrade from 13.10, as far as what you should try that is your decision.00:28
Jordan_Usyeekick: Your Windows installation is missing critical boot files, Ubuntu's installer doesn't touch files outside the partitions it's installing to and doesn't remove partitions unless explicitly told to.00:29
chchaBeldar:yes but as now i got a USB i would like to reinstall 13.10 with USB and see if it works or not.Upgrade didn't work though.00:29
Beldarchcha, Ah, again your choice, a failed upgrade does not mean it wont work. Have you addressed this failed upgrade here?00:30
chchaBeldar: no i don't want to waste time on fixing the problem but rather re-install and see if it works.If it doesn't then i will install previous version.00:30
Beldarchcha, Sounds like a good plan. Short of some driver not being supported if ubuntu worked in 13.04 than it should be fine to run 13.10.00:32
Beldarchcha, THing about upgrades is if yhou have added 3rd party repos or ppa's these can break an upgrade, so be aware of this some times a ppa-purge is the option and or removing stuff appropriately, before running the distro upgrade.00:33
chchaBeldar: i will take care of that in future.00:34
Beldarchcha, Cool, I clone all installs myself for just such a failure or any other.00:34
chchaBeldar: How can i keep a working copy of all the settings or everything related to kernel or ubuntu? Incase of failure i can just use the same.00:35
Beldarchcha, You can make a package list and save the source.list and source.list.d and keys, and document any kernel changes and do fresh install and have the same rather quickly in general, that's my method rather than upgrades.00:37
Beldarchcha, I have a list of additional apps I like, and if any need other repos, I just load them and the keys and run that list00:38

(Probably- is something I usually call a guess.) --- two things more. 1) what desktop would make a difference.

icerootvedrit: there is no other way, you have to reinstall your current system or install another system to make a clone of the permissions02:01
moondogunless of course he did a chmod -R02:01
kriskropdeddy ^^02:01

PatrickDickeyWhy?02:03
usr13iceroot: Good point.  If he did not use the -R switch, he is not in near as much touble....02:04
icerootvedrit: boot the system with a live cd, mount the damaged system and use chmod 755 /  (/ = root of mounted drive)02:04
moondogright02:04
* PatrickDickey can't say too much. I did a sudo chmod -Rh (or something like that) on a subdirectory, and it changed permissions everywhere because of symbolic links.02:04
moondogI've done chmod .*02:04
usr13vedrit: Do as iceroot says, you will more than likely fix your problem easily.02:04
icerootPatrickDickey: not symlinks but because it used also ..02:04
moondogthat really sucks too... cause it traverses backwards all over the place02:05
vedritokay, I'll give that a shot02:05
Stanley00stunis: you can try make a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/02:05
PatrickDickeyThat's why I keep almost all of my important stuff on a server, and I don't play around on that.02:05
icerootmoondog: i did that as well :)02:05
PatrickDickeyDare I ask what chmod .* would do? (I'm not going to try it to find out).02:06
vedritheh, I was wondering why mt recovery disk wasn't getting loaded. I put it in upside down. Heh... not my night02:06
usr13PatrickDickey: Nothing02:06
icerootPatrickDickey: using ..02:06
kriskropdstunis: I'm using dwm and setting up info in ~/.xsessionrc - I'm not using slim or ligthdm though (jsut plain old startx)02:06
moondogwell unfortunately the .. fits that criteria02:06
moondogwhich goes back a level02:06
moondogends up really screwing you02:07
stunisI attempted to Stanley00, but it didn't work02:07
moondogI think mine was actually chmod -R .*02:07
Stanley00stunis: can you give more details on what did you do?02:08
vedritAll this just to get Mono to work properly and load .aspx pages02:08
usr13moondog: It would depend on where you were at the time.02:08
usr13moondog: But the command as you just stated it, will do nothing.02:08
macxshello, i am having a problem in whicb i am unable to connect to wifi in certain networks (i.e. I can connect in one cafe, but not in my home or in an other cafe that I have connected to before and know the password)02:09
moondogoh well... of course I specified the permissions02:09
Stanley00stunis: maybe there's dwm.desktop at /usr/share/xsessions/, you can use that as a template for your custom desktop file02:09
MarchHareusr13: Since you don't seem to be answering, which would be a good channel for my question?02:09
stunisI'll have a look Stanley02:09

eddy /join #ubuntu-cn02:10
usr13MarchHare: You could also try ##linux02:10
stunisNo, there isn't. I'll upload my files02:10
locolocomacxs: what's the encryption?02:11
usr13macxs: Can you morph that into a question of some sort?02:11
jmgkhi all02:12
MarchHareusr13: I appreciate it. I'll ask there and see if they have any advice.02:12
Stanley00stunis: and upload the output of "ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/" and "dpkg -L dwm"02:13
usr13macxs: (We do not have enough information to give you any specific advise.)02:13
PatrickDickeyMarchHare: This might not help you, but the closest I can come up with is for an Amahi Home Server.  But the information is for Ubuntu, so it might work (the setting up IP forwarding portion) https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/OpenVPN02:13
macxslocoloco, usr13: Made question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20449058/ubuntu-13-10-connects-to-certain-wifi-wireless-networks-only and as for the encryption, i'm not sure. I'm not actually at one of those places now02:13
tripelbHere I am 12.04-gnome-classic slow as molasses. I have a live usage graph in the panel and can see CPU usage and easily see memory and cache. Is someone interested in helping me. Chrome brings things even slower. I havent got chrome started yet and I killed all the windows so It will start up with just one. (Bendar claims it is my 1G RAM Intel computer but I have used this much RAM on various computers since 2006 (Ubuntu 6.04 began my use02:14
tripelb of it) and this is different. I have ALWAYS used a lot of chrome windows.02:14
vedritmacxs: there could be a number of reasons why you can't connect to different networks. Encryption mismatch, transmission mode mismatch, password mismatch, protocol mismatch02:14
macxsvedrit - so you recomment I get home, connect to ethernet, then figure out why i can't get on the wifi?02:15
stunisStanley00, http://pastebin.com/gZGzNKZq02:15
PatrickDickeymacxs: You said you can't connect to your home wifi?02:15
macxsPatrickDicket - correct. But i can connect at this house i'm at now02:16
usr13macxs: The network-manager should should make the connection for you, if you provide proper perameters, (encryption key, etc.)02:16
vedritmacxs: not necessarily. If you are manually configuring the connection info, you may want to double-check what the access points settings are.02:16
locolocomacxs: see your phone for the encryption and confirmed pw and double check the items that vedrit: pointed out.02:16
tripelbnow chrome started, loaded ONE page - which used 100% of the cpu for 30 secs. The problem I was having before is that chrome wouldnt ignore pages that had been loaded for a while and wwere not being accessed.  30 secs02:16
* vedrit is happy he contributed02:16
MarchHarePatrickDickey: It might help. I really just need to see some sample configurations to see if I'm missing some routing stuff, or if I just need to tell pptp to set routes, etc02:17
macxslocoloco: at the cafe, the internet generally connects without a password then when i open a browser page it asks me for the password in there. It's not doing anyh of that though after I click the network icon02:17
usr13macxs: There are a number of possibilities or reasons you would not be able to connect to a particular network. One may be a limitation of the hardware you are using, but at any rate, it is something you work out via the network-manager.  If you supply the correct connection information, you should be able to connect.02:18
locolocomacxs: that sounds like a hotspot!02:18
Stanley00stunis: please upload the output of "ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/" and "dpkg -L dwm"02:18
stunisStanley00, http://pastebin.com/eZyTU2gB02:19
vedritmacxs: that's all stuff that happens after the connection is made between you and the AP. What you (somewhat) described earlier was that you weren't connecting to your home WiFi02:19
stunisThere02:19
Stanley00stunis: got it02:19
Vivekanandaanyone can tell me good tools to convert vob files to other format ? I wanted to know 1. fast tools 2. good quality conversion tools02:20
macxsso at a cafe for instance how should i handle that network configuration stuff? Should I ask the barista or look at something on my phone?02:20
usr13vedrit: If you can post an image of the network-manager window as you are attempting to configure the connection, it might give us a clue as to what you are doing wrong.  Other than that, I don't know.02:20
locolocomacxs: ubuntu/network-manager has no input on that password. That's handled through the browser. Consult the network admin of the cafe.02:21
usr13macxs: If you can post an image of the network-manager window as you are attempting to configure the connection, it might give us a clue as to what you are doing wrong.  Other than that, I don't know.02:21
macxslocoloco: lol the network admin of the cafe. I will be sucha  nerd02:21
macxsusr13 - Ok well i will be back here another time02:21
vedritmacxs: most of the time, you can simply allow the device to automatically configure the connection, and it will ask for a password/passcode if necessary02:21
Stanley00stunis: just look at /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop and make a custom session as you need.02:21
usr13macxs: Okeydokey02:21
macxsvedrit: that's what i;ve been tryin ...02:22
wadHow do you set preferred applications on 13.10?02:22
vedritmacxs: Okay. In that case, yeah, use your phone to find the proper configuration, ask someone who would know, or check the device if you can02:22
Stanley00stunis: first, run "cd /usr/share/xsessions/ && sudo cp dwm.desktop dwm-custom.desktop && gksu gedit dwm-custom.desktop", edit the file, save, and log in to dwm custom session02:23
macxsvedrit: k thanks02:23

usr13wad: Is your question:  How do I set chrome as default browser?02:27
vedritgood grief... this is why I was avoiding re-installing. It takes for ever for the disc to do anything02:28
usr13wad: If so, see:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/96080/how-to-set-google-chrome-as-the-default-browser02:28
anunakkiwad, check system settings, you're on 13.10 it may be different, i use windows for my personal desktop, my girlfriend has the ubuntu machine in this house, she'd probably be able to answer the question better than i could02:29
anunakkii use ubuntu-server with fluxbox on my dedicated machine02:29
stunisStanley00, gedit didn't appear, maybe I should try Geany?02:29

anunakkiusr13, i agree entirely, she actually knew nothing of linux before she met me, but now she operates like a pro on the ubuntu install i setup for her02:31
anunakkihowever, i don't like unity, and i felt like it was too different for her to adjust properly to it, so i installed cairo-dock and just removed unity's dock02:31
usr13anunakki: Awesome!  Good for her.  (You must have a pretty smart girlfriend!)02:32
anunakkii find she uses it like a mac more than anything, she's still not terminal ready, but she can use the machine just fine with her dock :)02:32
boggleIssue with key mapping on new keyboard: http://pastebin.com/QUT0hXG102:32
anunakkiyea, she is quite intelligent, and to be honest, she's really not that tech savvy, but if you give someone the right setup, something they're used to using (sort of) then they'll pick it up no problem02:32
anunakkinow i'm just abusing commas02:33
anunakkigod i am horrible with my punctuation02:33
usr13anunakki: You never really know, some take to a new OS like Ubuntu like a duck to water, others just don't get it.02:33
anunakkilol, i've noticed if you give a person cairo-dock, they are more likely to have at it and learn. i mean you can literally make it look exactly like OS X, but i gave her a sexy theme to use for it and she's been learning more and more ever since.02:35
usr13cool02:36
anunakkiman i am struggling to virtualize properly on my machine, i am far too used to freebsd jails02:36
stunisStanley00, I'm confused as to what I put in that file02:36
anunakkifor this libvirt, etc.. i remember when linux just used debootstrap to virtualize02:36
AB49KI never got the Unity interface, it always tripped me up, but the xfce interface just felt right from the start :)02:37
anunakkinow they've got a ton of what are basically wrappers, using debootstrap02:37
anunakkito over complicate the damn process for me02:37
anunakkiewww i hate xfce :P02:37
AB49KI just always found it way nicer - I even installed it over unity in my high power systems :)02:37
anunakkitbh, i am personally a fluxbox fan for any of my *nix desktops, i don't care which flavor i'm running, i'm probably most likely going to install fluxbox or openbox02:37
Stanley00stunis: first, change the "Name=Dwm" to "Name=DwmCustom". This is what show up in the session list.02:38
anunakkii dont need a dock either, so simply fluxbox.. done02:38
anunakkilol02:38
anunakkiyou should try fluxbox, it is perfect, so lightweight, yet entirely customizable and easy as ever to use02:38
AB49KI've used openbox, but not tried fluxbox02:38
anunakkii've used them all tbh, and fluxbox and i have just come to a mutal agreement over the years02:38
Stanley00stunis: then make a script, that will execute whatever you want when starting dwm, including dwm, then change "Exec=dwm" to "Exec=/path/to/your/script"02:39

RaskHello, channel. :)  I have a feeling this is a question that gets asked a lot, but I'm not finding what I want by googling... if I need a newer version of a single package than what the stable release provides, is there a minimally-painful way to tell apt to look to the future for that package only?04:41
vedritI'm using 12.04 and... I dunno. I think when I burned my disc, something wasn't quite right04:41

Beldartubaguy50035, Yeah, I meant just no desktop, you might ask in #ubuntu-server if no one knows here.04:42
adamuyenic, you would think 12.04 would be more stable since it is the long term release04:42

vedritusr13: wouldn't be surprised. I had to scramble to find a CD player, so it's untold years old, haha04:42
vedritjust couldn't get a USB image to work04:43
yenicadamu, i want it autoupdated with the rest of my software. the only thing in 12.04 i have installed outside of the repositories is Eclipse to get the latest.. and I had conflicts with Eclipse autoupdates not working well (needed sudo, and got out of whack with the repo version provided)04:43
Beldartubaguy50035, There is the mini if you want a web install really better for older installs to get the latest or an only option, or just more options.04:43
tubaguy50035Beldar: The network installer?04:44
yenicdoes cloning automatically keep it up to date? or do i have to continously clone it as new versions are updated?04:44

adamuargentum, Man sshd_config will help with configuring the ssh daemon05:10
technickuladamu: I'll check that out thank you05:10
adamutechnickul, np05:10
adamuhaha, using ipv6?05:11
technickuladamu: I should have mentioned ubuntu was in the process of installing and let me know when it tried to install the bootloader and failed. I'm not having problems booting yet :P. Or did I misread the docs you sent me?05:11
argentumadamu, Yea i've been reading up on it. There are a couple of goals that I have. I want to access the graphical seamlessly of one of my machines on my network from another... both running Ubuntu 13.10 *(xcfe) and the other goal is to remotely access through ssh the same host machine to run periodic updates and so on05:11
adamutechnickul, oh okay I was confused05:12
adamutechnickul, what is your problem then? :P05:12
adamuargentum, It might be better to use cron to schedule periodic updates05:13
argentumadamu: prehaps you have some suggestions for easy, responsive control of my other machine on my network?05:13
adamuargentum, you could use an ssh tunnel with local port forwarding so you only have to port forward one port (ssh)05:13
technickuladamu: lol I'll try again. I was attempting to install on my freespace formated ext3 partition, but during mid install ubuntu whined and said bootloader install failed and is asking me to choose a location to install the bootloader on, continue without bootloader, or cancel the install05:13
argentumadamu: Will look into it immediately... too green to realize that was possible05:13
adamutechnickul, Maybe you could install it on one of the drivers (e.g. if you had /dev/sda and /dev/sdb install it on /dev/sda then configure bios to boot from /dev/sda first?)05:14
technickuladamu: that's where this get's weird I don't have either of those options. All my options start with /dev/mapper05:15
technickulall of the are labeled /dev/mapper/isw_bjdhdaadjh_ASUS_OS05:15
technickuland then esome have a number at the end ex: /dev/mapper/isw_bjdhdaadjh_ASUS_OS505:16
adamutechnickul, maybe something like this? sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/mapper/<YourRaidDrive>05:17
adamutechnickul, oh wait one second..05:17
technickuladamu: I wish I could send a screenshot. I'm stuck on the install screen without a terminal :/05:17
adamutechnickul, this might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=155976205:18
technickuladamu: I literally just found that link haha05:18
adamutechnickul, haha05:18
technickulwas looking at it just before you sent it. I"m going to read through this thank you05:18
adamutechnickul, np05:19
adamuwell.. I better be signing off.. bye!05:20

* gtristan runs bumblebee actually, but not with 13.1005:37
meh_Hello, would anyone know how to set cups printer to not overwrite existing files?05:37
luk3rsin 13.04 bumblebee worked for me, but 13.10 broke something05:37
gtristanluk3rs, I've used bumblebee on a couple versions, upgrading (as you probably read the instructions) is a pain, I've personally only ever succeeded in re-installing a new version from scratch05:39
gtristani.e. a new entire distro from ISO image05:39
luk3rsi did a fresh install05:40
luk3rsstill not working05:40
meh_I've been trying to change the cups_pdf.conf file, but i "don't have the permissions".... how can one change file permission?05:40

gtristanlotuspsychje, the bumblebee thing takes care of a specific issue where you have an intel chipset & nvidia chipset... unfortunately the intel chipset shows up earlier on the pci chain... Xorg takes the first one it finds: Intel05:45

Gneamral3n: did the whole installation process itself seem to go alright?06:04

* PatrickDickey reminder that "fdisk" can't "see" GPT partitioned drives. You need to use "gdisk" for it.06:04

apb1963I want to have two virtual hosts on the same ubuntu 12.04 server.  I have registered the domains at freedns as A records each pointing to my (home) routers IP.  I followed these directions: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html  I get the default "It Works" page, but my index.php file is not coming up on either site.06:07
Beldarmral3n, I suspect the W7 isn;t a uefi install, and the dsic has gpt remnants keeping the xubuntu from seeing it.06:08
Gneaapb1963: make sure that apache is set to listen on port 80 of the internal ip's as well06:08
apb1963I received these warnings & errors on restart:  http://pastebin.com/aCyWi3KQ06:08
apb1963I have a listen directive in each domains config file06:08
PatrickDickeyapb1963: What happens if you try to go to the ip address on your local lan (192.168.x.x/host/index.php)?06:08
Gneaapb1963: okay, did you set them up as <VirtualHost> then?06:09
apb1963Gnea: Yes06:09
apb1963PatrickDickey: checking06:09
^MikeMy laptop seems to think there are two mice attached, and one of them has a dead battery, causing it to alert me. There is no 2nd mouse. How can I make the laptop correctly detect this hardware? The mouse and keyboard are connected using a single logitech unifying USB receiver.06:09
mral3nhmm well I'm not sure. It's the same windows 7 disc I've used before when trying to install linux alongside windows so not too sure.06:09
Gneaapb1963: not sure... might want to ask in #httpd06:09
Gnea^Mike: the laptop doesn't have a mousepad?06:10
apb1963PatrickDickey: same result. "This webpage is not available"06:11

apb1963Gnea: I went there first.  The one person to respond gave me a holier than thou answer with a "hint" that was useless.06:11
Beldarmral3n, Use this app and run only the create bootinfo summary and pastebin the url, it will answer a lot of questions. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair06:11
mral3nIf i choose the "something else" option and try to create one that way that wont corrupt my windows partition and make it unbootable will it06:11
mral3nOKay will do so right now.06:11
Gneaapb1963: well don't let him scare you off06:12
apb1963Gnea:  No.  I'm using freedns.afraid.org for dns.  And, as PatrickDickey made me check, it doesn't come up by IP either.  So it's not DNS.06:12
apb1963Gnea: Not scared, but while nobody is talking there, I figured I'd ask here.06:12
mikeshollenGnea, I'm struggling a little with your suggestion. I am trying to locate where the files are that i just installed with sudo apt-get murmur-server06:13
mikeshollenI am looking for mumble-server.ini i believe06:13
Gneaapb1963: Well, some people can be easily put off by the elitism that some people enjoy pushing while in a non-confrontational environment.  Can you pastebin your apache config?06:14
apb1963mikeshollen: find / -name mumble-server.ini06:14
gtristanOk new (related) question: I am running 64bit Ubuntu 12.04, I installed ia32-libs-multiarch... but I still need libfuse2:i386... running apt-get install libfuse2:i386 causes a warning, doesnt want to parallel install but instead insists on removing the existing libfuse2 package (and removing important stuff, like grub)... how can I get a 32bit libfuse.so ?06:14
Gneamikeshollen: sudo updatedb, wait for it to finish, then just: locate murmur | grep etc06:14
apb1963gnea: yes.  A moment please.  I appreciate the polite response.06:15

apb1963mikeshollen: export DISPLAY=0:006:20
Gneaapb1963: hm okay, what you'll need to do is write a <VirtualHost> directive for each site, and each site should have its own directory, logfile, etc06:20
apb1963Gnea: did I not do that?06:20
apb1963Gnea: AFAIK, that's exactly what I did06:20

apb1963mikeshollen: Copy & paste it, in the terminal.... exactly as I wrote it06:21
Gneaapb1963: oooh, I see, so you're sourcing multiple configs.... why don't do you prevent those from loading and just load this 'fun.sleepingwolf.net' for now and see if you can get just the one to work? or have you tried that yet?06:22
mikeshollenapb1963, i did06:22
apb1963mikeshollen: run your command again now06:22
Beldarmral3n, You have gpt detected "WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util sfdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted." use this link to clean it and xubuntu should see the install. http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/06:22

wilornelis there anybody out there?06:24
apb1963Gnea: Same exact errors as before that I pastebinned from the start06:24
mral3nshould I use that on windows or while I'm on the usb live?06:24
apb1963mikeshollen: I'm guessing you want to feed gedit a file name.  Did you do that?06:25
wilornelHey guys, my laptop is stuck in the "locked screen" mode. The screen is turned off, but the computer is still running.... It's not really in sleeping mode, since it's running, and it's not really running, since the screen can't be turned on...06:25
Gneaapb1963: hmmm. will that subdomain be available to the whole of the internet or are you just planning on making it available locally?06:25
apb1963Gnea: One of each.  The fun host worldwide.06:25
Gneaapb1963: okay06:26
Beldarmral3n, I believe you can run it from the xubuntu, never used it just recommended many time in the same situation. Use nicks here to you can tab complete the nicks.06:26
Gneaapb1963: try commenting out: Listen 8006:27
apb1963Gnea: Interesting thought.  OK06:27
mral3nok thanks06:27
* Gnea proceeds to compile the latest mame06:28

Beldarmral3n, Basically you have a gpt partition table from the W8 install, leaving gpt remnants that stops the xubuntu read of the HD.06:28
Gneaapb1963: okay. try changing <VirtualHost *:80> to <VirtualHost fun.sleepingwolf.net:80>06:29

Beldarmral3n, Cool, the intructions are pretty much there and if run correctly should fix it while booted to the live xubntu and you can install.06:31
apb1963Gnea: I should probably mention I had one of these working earlier, and you're backing out the precise changes I made - which I made because of the link I mentioned that I used.06:32

alfonsojonHello06:33
alfonsojonIs there any way to port Dust to GTK3?06:33
alfonsojonI'm using it on MATE and it looks fantastic, but some GTK3 apps look out of place.06:33
apb1963Gnea: OK, warnings have gone away (I added domain name in place of * in both spots)... but it's still not rendering properly06:33
Mongo44How do I do that?06:34
Gneaapb1963: check your logs and check permissions of the username that's actually running the httpd or apached daemons, the directories of the files you're serving, and the files themselves06:34
Beldarmral3n, you grab the amd deb?06:35
mral3nbaledar: yep06:35
GneaMongo44: well first step is to write it up as a bash script. know how to use an editor?06:35
Beldarmral3n, Cool I just downloaded it and installed just to check nothing wrong here.06:35
Mongo44Nope.06:35
mral3nbeldar: fixparts_0.8.8-1_amd64.deb .. I'll download it again just to be sure.06:36
GneaMongo44: okay, if you go to your menu and accessories, you should find the gedit editor - bring that up first06:36
apb1963Gnea: I originally had the owner as apb... but changed it to www-data earlier in the hope that was the issue... it wasn't... so now I'm wondering if I want it back to apb?06:36
Beldarmral3n, You can use your tab key to complete nicks looks correct last post if the spelling is incorrect it wont notify me you have paosted to me. ;)06:36
Mongo44OK.06:37
Gneaapb1963: no, you were right to go to www-data.  actually, ps auxf | grep apache or ps auxf | grep httpd  should tell you who it's running as. hopefully it's www-data, in which case I would just chown all the files & subdirectories of /var/www to that06:37
Beldarmral3n, I'm taking off for about 45 min in 5 min, just so you know.06:37
gtristanOk... what is the trick to installing the 32bit support low level stuff needed by gcc-4.6 ? i.e. the 32bit start stub (crtn.o) and -lgcc ?06:38
Gneaapb1963: but also make sure that they are world-readable06:38
apb1963world readable?  That sounds excessive06:38
gtristanfor some reason my cross compiler on Ubuntu 12.04 doesnt work :-/ preventing me from building the 32bit libfuse package locally06:39
Gneano. world-writable would be excessive06:39
apb1963that would be insane :)06:39
Gneanah, it would be disturbing, for sure... if it was +x or +s, THEN insanity would be a key factor ;-)06:40
apb1963Keep in mind the problem here... it's not rendering properly at this point.... the graphics are missing for one thing... maybe the prime problem.06:40
mral3nBeldar, not sure how to use the tab nick thing, Kinda a noob when it to comes to this. Also while installing the tool I got a package operating failed.06:40
Gneaapb1963: have you checked your .html files to make sure that paths for graphics are lined up properly?06:40
Mongo44Gnea: I have Gedit open how do I write the bash script?06:40

apb1963Gnea: it's a .index.php file.... and this worked earlier... I'm not sure what I did exactly...other than perhaps mess with directory directives06:41
GneaMongo44: press enter, and the next line should look like: echo 50 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness06:41

mral3nBeldar, nvm think I got it to work. Using the software center.06:42
apb1963interesting question... a moment06:42
Beldarmral3n, cool06:42
GneaMongo44: after you do that, save the file as my_brightness.sh06:42
mral3nBeldar, the nick thing is what I got to work. Not the tool. I was using the ubuntu software center btw.06:42
GneaMongo44: then close gedit and open a terminal, let me know when you are there06:42
Beldarmral3n, what errors do you see, it may need a dependency from the repo?06:43
mikeshollenif i am using command line through ssh, does gedit not work?06:43
Mongo44Ok I am ready.06:44
Gneamikeshollen: not by default.  you're basically trying to run an X app on a remote system and have it pull the display to your screen, which is a separate networking transaction06:44
mikeshollengnea, aha06:44
mral3nBeldar, Well I ignored the "quality" error and proceeded and it says the installation of a software package failed : (Reading database ... 153047 files and directories currently installed.)06:44
mral3nUnpacking fixparts (from .../fixparts_0.8.8-1_amd64.deb) ...06:44
mral3ndpkg: error processing /home/xubuntu/Downloads/fixparts_0.8.8-1_amd64.deb (--install)06:44
Gneamikeshollen: so you'd have to have ssh setup to accept such a transaction and allow your display to accept it06:45
energizer1mikeshollen: you could use nano or something instead (i.e. a text editor that uses the command line)06:45
Gneamikeshollen: or you could just run vim or nano06:45
energizer1gnea high five06:45
Beldarmral3n, You running 64 bit?06:45
Gneaenergizer1: :-)06:45
mral3nBeldar, yes sir.06:45
GneaMongo44: okay06:45
mikeshollenenergizer1, replace gedit with nano?06:45
GneaMongo44: type:  ls -l   you should see your my_brightness.sh there. do you?06:45
=== terry is now known as Guest25443
energizer1mikeshollen: just use it instead. try opening up a command line ssh, then type nano to get the text editor06:46
Gneamikeshollen: nano is easy-peasy to use06:46
apb1963Gnea: definitely php code.  I'm not running apache as www-data though.... and I changed the dir to reflect the proper owner and group... and now I'm back to "It works"... which is something of a lie.06:46
Mongo44I saved it in documents, I see the documents directory.06:47
Beldarmral3n, in the software ceter hit-edit-software sources-other software I believe and untick the cd and run a update than try again. If this works for installing it you have to turn the cd back on for the install.06:47
Gneaapb1963: I'm wondering... can you pastebin your 'root' apache config file?06:47
GneaMongo44: excellent. cd Documents  then  chmod 700 my_brightness.sh06:48
Beldarmral3n, cd on for xubuntu install that is, off for the update to be able to pull from the repos if needed for the fixparts install.06:48

Gneaapb1963: apache updates faster than the documentation can keep up, sometimes. the fact that it even has mostly decent documentation is pretty amazing, TBPH.06:52
GneaMongo44: if all goes well, you should see a bunch of ~ on the left side of the terminal. is that so?06:53
Mongo44This is supposed to be in the Documents directory, right?06:53
GneaMongo44: no, this can be typed anywhere06:53

apb1963Yeah, but the docs version matches the apache version06:53
GneaMongo44: at this point, you're accessing a protected region of the filesystem outside of your home directory06:54
apb1963so I find it hard to believe it could be so wrong06:54
apb1963anyway, that's a different complaint06:54

asdkhey guys can someone help me setup a crontab09:14
asdk?09:14
asdklol mongo same issue?09:14
impradeepyquantumpants: why are you wasting ur time and mind on editing source list?just resart it use purge,autoremove clean ur system first then start to update it because its no use to update if previuos unsitalled is totally removed from the system09:15
quantumpantsthat worked yash069, thanks :)09:15
yash069quantumpants: :)09:15
Mongo44Yeah, I am working with this command: echo 50 | tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness09:16

quantumpantsimpradeepy im not very good with computers, im still learning :)09:19
apb1963asdk: Is there an error message?  what are you trying to accomplish?  what have you tried?  what is it, or is it not doing?09:19
Mongo44It does seem to be lasting a long time, I think it could be. In the future if I want this brightness I just have to rerun this command right?09:19
asdksorry, ive set up cron with crontab -e, and i enter @reboot //home/admin2/run.sh09:19
asdkive given permission to the script09:20
asdkchmod +x09:20
asdkand when i reboot the computer09:20
apb1963Mongo44: the purpose of putting it in the crontab file was so that cron will run it for you, every 4 minutes.09:20
asdkit fucks up the whole system for some reason, and i can no longer boot into my ubuntu09:20

geirhaasdk: If it makes any assumptions on what PWD is, then yes, it could've messed up your system09:21
impradeepyquantumpants:then you must first start with beggining you are editing source list??its not good for you to just copy and paste and solve your solution all i want to tell you that you should do it properly thats it09:21
asdkits a simple script, just exports the display, and starts cgminer, a mining program09:21
Gneaif [ ${PWD} != ${HOME} ]; then cd09:22
geirhaasdk: and you're running it as which user?09:22

quantumpantsimpradeepy, im always one for doing thinks the correct way, i just don't know how to most of the time. i really appreciate the help i get from you guys on  #ubuntu09:23
asdkyes09:23
asdkit just runs forever in a terminal window09:23
asdki normally ssh into the system and run the script from my machine09:23
geirhaasdk: then I'd consider running it in a screen09:24
jjphai09:24
asdksorry what do you mean "running it in a screen"09:24
geirhaasdk: @reboot cd ~ && screen -d -m -S cgminer ./run.sh09:25

impradeepyquantumpants:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine09:25

asdkand that will bring up a terminal window and run the script?09:25
geirhaasdk: screen will provide a terminal for it, yes, and that screen will run in the background09:26
geirhaasdk: you can connect to that terminal by running  screen -x cgminer09:26
asdkis there anyway i can run the script the same way as i ssh into the system?09:26
asdkcause when i run the script with the onscreen terminal sometimes it makes the rig unstable and it crashes09:27
asdkbut i never encounter errors when i ssh and run it09:27
geirhaasdk: onscreen terminal?09:27
asdkviewing the desktop09:27

asdkterminal comes up09:27
asdkand i run the script09:27
FloodBot1asdk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.09:27
geirhaasdk: why does it need DISPLAY anyway?09:27
quantumpantsthanks impradeepy. how do I update the latest data from my local server? so i can get this system fully running smoothly ?09:27
asdkit needs exportdisplay=:0 to export all gpus of the graphics card09:28
geirhaasdk: Ah ok, then running it via cron won't work at all09:29
asdkoh =/09:29
asdkanyway i can set that up with ssh?09:29
geirhaasdk: You have to run it after the X server has been started, so the place to put it is in startup applications09:29
geirhathen it'll run when you log in graphically09:30
asdkbut I would prefer not to run it on the computers graphic display, because i get massive gpu rendering errors, and that eventually crashes the machine, if i ssh, then it also gets gpu rendering errors, but it can still process/"mine"09:31
asdkis there no way to automate my ssh connection, running of the script remotely?09:32
impradeepyquantumpants: u will get updates automatically  time to time just use software updater or use sudo apt-get updates09:33
impradeepyquantumpants: use sudo apt-get chache show package name to see whats the latest version available on your official repository, for example if u want to check for firfox then use sudo apt-get cache show firefox09:34
daakui'm seeing apt-get update pull i386 package indexes with lines like "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted" -- is there a way to prevent this? i only need amd64 and this seems to slow down apt-get update quite a bit, and it's pretty impactful when testing stuff with debootstrap09:36
geirhaasdk: there is, but it will fail if the remote end hasn't started the X server yet09:36

DF3D2I just wanted to thank you guys for making a linux OS that all my stuff was auto-detected and "just" works been banging my head against the wall for 2 days trying to make stuff work elsewhere09:52
AB49KI prefer debian, but I also have used ubuntu and I like it :)09:54
DF3D2I tried debian and nothing worked right09:54
DF3D2this laptop was 'too new' for it I guess09:54
AB49KDebian can be a little hard to get working lol09:54
DF3D2my wifi card is supported under ath9k but it just would not work on debian09:55
DF3D2no matter what I did09:55
CookieMdebian needs some tuning to make it work properly09:55
AB49KBut when you get it working, It's rock solid - and really good for servers :)09:55
DF3D2I had been using freebsd for awhile, and I got wifi to work on that. The maintainer actuall helped me via email, but I couldn't ever get flash to work -- it uses some linux compatibility layer09:56
DF3D2and who wants a laptop where you can't watch videos09:56
AB49KMy laptop doesn't even have a GUI installed ._.09:56
CookieMyeah, ubuntu makes it work out-of-the-box09:57
DF3D2yeah, I installed ubuntu desktop just to test, but i'm gonna switch to xfce I don't like unity.09:57

DF3D2my ethernet NIC isn't working, but it didn't work in freebsd/debian either. it's "too new" I guess09:57
DF3D2i dont really care, since my wifi works -- it is a laptop afterall09:57
DF3D2I came this close to having to install windows, heh i'd have been pissed09:58
DF3D2whoa, the touch screen on this thing even works10:00
DF3D2that's pretty cool10:01
CookieMDF3D2: which ubuntu are you using10:02
DF3D2so what is the easiest way to have a secondary screen be a set resolution, like I want to be able to use 1080p via hdmi on my hdtv when I connect this laptop, but the laptop screen is 1366x76810:11
bekksDF3D2: which GPU do you use?10:16
DF3D2bekks, it's just intel integrated hd400010:18
kostkonDF3D2, easiest way? You set up the external monitor in system settings -> displays10:19
DF3D2kostkon, awesome10:20
DF3D2seeing you on the 70" tv now10:20
DF3D2:-D10:20
kostkonDF3D2, nice10:20
DF3D2okay here is what I don't get, I can mirror the displays but I don't exactly want that. If I select above,below,etc it has no task bar etc on the one that isn't primary or whatever10:25
DF3D2like, i'd like to have a movie playing on the tv and browse the net on the laptop10:25
bekksDF3D2: Then dont mirror, but "place" the TV "next" to your laptops screen (in the display settings), and just move the movie player window onto the TV.10:26
DF3D2bekks, place next to ?10:27
DF3D2okay I see I can drag windows, between the two that is really cool, but it keeps defaulting to the HDMI connection (tv) to have the primary display, taskbar etc10:29

greenithi, how can i enter a startup-parameter in the install-media of ubuntu? the notebook i want to install ubuntu on only works when i enter "nomodeset acpi=off", but i don't know where i have to enter it at the install-media...10:41
Stanley00greenit: try press enter when you first see a purple screen when booting.10:41
greenitthx, i'll try :)10:41
bekksgreenit: it is too late then. livecd offers a boot menu.10:42
satoshhello. i have a particular problem. i have put the ubuntu .iso on a usb stick and am using it as a live usb. now i want to install ubuntu on the same usb stick and there is plenty of space still left. but when i use the usb-creator-gtk it always asks me to erase the whole stick, which doesn't work as it also deletes the live ubuntu i am running as of now.10:43
bekkssatosh: your approach isnt possible. use two usb sticks.10:44
DF3D2okay so pulse audio sees my usb-dac and I can use it in vlc if I specify it manually, however  pavucontrol and pacmd list-sinks don't list it as an output device, how can I fix this?10:44
satoshbekks: thanks!10:44
DF3D2like, how do I tell pulse this is a playback device, use it10:45
greenitbekks, where is the boot-menu and how can i enter it?10:45
DF3D2lol.10:45
bekksgreenit: it is displayed when the livecd boots.10:45
bekksit asks you what to do.10:45
greenitbekks, i don't even get that far, there is only a purble background with an keyboard-icon at the bottom10:46
greenitpurple*10:46
bekksgreenit: the livecds I do know ask you what to do before doing something. Use as 12.04 cd e.g. and you will get a boot menu before purple screens whatsoever.10:47
greenitbekks, k, i'll try :)10:47
DF3D2so no one knows how I can set my usb-dac as default? it doesn't show up in pacmd list-sinks even though alsamixer see's it, and it outputs sound -- also alsamixer has no volume adjustment for it10:49

locoloco`Wiz_KeeD: would you consider wiping Windows completely, installing Ubuntu then run Windows virtualbox?14:18
MonkeyDustthat's what I have14:21
ChrisFR06Someone here ?14:22
theadminChrisFR06: Yup. Ask your question.14:22
ChrisFR06Thanks :)14:22
ChrisFR06I am running Ubuntu 13.10 and if I stay too long on Chrome my PC will freeze14:23
ChrisFR06And I always have to reset it14:23
ChrisFR06Do you know this problem ?14:23
MonkeyDustChrisFR06: try chromium from the repos14:23
ChrisFR06You think it will help ?14:24
ChrisFR06Ok I'll try14:24
ChrisFR06But whats the difference between chrome and chromium, i know chromium is more "open" or something but does it have more or less features thanks Chrome ?14:24
theadminChrisFR06: Chrome has the exact same feature set as Chromium, plus a built-in Flash.14:25
theadminChrisFR06: But chromium in the repositories is modified to work properly with Ubuntu.14:25
MonkeyDusthttps://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome14:26
ChrisFR06Oh ok thanks14:26
ChrisFR06Ok i'll try to install chromium right now14:26
ChrisFR06THX :D14:26
theadminI use Chrome without any issues but one, but sometimes things go weird.14:26
locoloco`ChrisFR06: simple rebranding, afaik, chromium lets Ubuntu's Document Viewer handle .pdf's14:26
pulsar78i have to wait on lirc 20+ seconds, is there a way to start the lirc daemon earlier in the boot process ?14:27
MonkeyDust!info lirc14:27
ubottulirc (source: lirc): infra-red remote control support. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.9.0-0ubuntu3 (saucy), package size 598 kB, installed size 2316 kB14:27
Wiz_KeeDlocoloco`, nah not an option14:27
Wiz_KeeDespecially when it worked before14:27
Wiz_KeeDand I have no idea how, God damn itr14:27
ChrisFR06And I have another problem, when i go fullscreen on a youtube vid that aint in 1080, for example a vid that has only 720p max resolution14:28
ChrisFR06the youtube screen shrinks and its ugly14:28
ChrisFR06does anyone have the same prob ?14:29
xanguaChrisFR06: flash sucks in linux, it's a fact14:29
ChrisFR06Yeah i noticed that :/14:30
ChrisFR06ok bye and thx :)14:31

Wiz_KeeDyeah I can understand that choice, nobody's judging you XD14:32
strixUKi'm running ubuntu on an EC2 instance in which I don't automatically get any swap.  i've written a script to (carefully!) repartition local storage (which happens to be an SSD) and enable swap.  where's the best place in the boot sequence to execute this script?14:33
strixUKeg how does upstart interact with the sysv init mechanism?14:34
theadminstrixUK: uh. May I suggest a swapfile instead?14:34
strixUKtheadmin: sure, but why?14:34
theadminstrixUK: What you're trying to do sounds like a bad idea, resizing partitions of a running OS... eh.14:35
MonkeyDustif that can be done... partitions need to be unmounted to resize them14:36
msafiAn app I'm trying to install requires Python 2.7.x, not Python 3.x. I think if I do apt-get install python-pip, I'll get the latest Python.14:36
strixUKtheadmin: / (which is /dev/xvda1) is an EBS (think NAS) volume and is persistent across boots.  where available, locally attached storage gets repartitioned and new filesystems installed every time the VM is started, but otherwise is unmounted and has nothing on it.14:37
Lucid_Lynx_LTSI use Windows 9 to run Ubuntu 14.04 in a virtual box.... :-P14:37
Wiz_KeeDwin 9??14:37
msafiCan I still get the latest Python but run pip install myApp with 2.7?14:37
Lucid_Lynx_LTSohh man you are not up to date ?14:37
strixUKtheadmin: so i have an sfdisk script that says 'create a 4 GB swap partition and use the rest of the space as a type x83 partition; make swap on xvdb1 and enable.14:38
theadminmsafi: You can install the "python3" package and run Py3 programs with "python3 myfile.py".14:38
Wiz_KeeDfunny :))14:38
* Lucid_Lynx_LTS laughs14:38
msafitheadmin, what about Python 2.7? I need that also to install this app14:38
strixUKtheadmin: so far as i know, there is nothing dangerous about this.  the script gets the block device names via the system metadata mechanism that amazon offers, and i also have checks in the script to make sure it doesn't attempt to repartition an EBS volume i care about14:39
theadminmsafi: Python 2.7 comes with Ubuntu by default.14:39
msafitheadmin, I tried to do pip install myapp but got pip not available. So I apt-get install python-pip14:40
msafitheadmin, then I tried pip install myapp again, but encountered an error because it's Python 314:41
theadminmsafi: Uh. Odd.14:41
strixUKtheadmin: the question is, what in the boot sequence enables swap?  is it /etc/init/mountall?14:41
newuserhello, I installed the fallback session in ubuntu 13.10 a few months ago. I was having no problems at all. I use ubuntu in 2 laptops. I did an update onboth laptops and when I restart boom... I get to the login front page and when I log in with the admin account r any account14:42
locoloco`Wiz_KeeD: hehe, right channel to represent. Don't know if this could do the trick for ya? http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/14:42
newuserI I get a black screen and nothing else. What can I do?14:42
theadminstrixUK: That is correct.14:42
theadminstrixUK: ...as long as your swap is defined in fstab and not elsewhere.14:42
strixUKtheadmin: currently i haven't got it in fstab, because the swap isn't there at that time14:43
Wiz_KeeDMy issue is that I bought the notebook, installed win8 from stick then ubuntu alongside it, then boot repair and it worked14:43
strixUKtheadmin: i could either put my script elsewhere in the boot sequence, or try to get my script to run before mountall14:43
Wiz_KeeDbut I thought that was not the way to have it work and reformatted with 8.1 and 8.0 later, now ubuntu does not see win at all...14:43
newuserhello, I installed the fallback session in ubuntu 13.10 a few months ago. I was having no problems at all. I use ubuntu in 2 laptops. I did an update onboth laptops and when I restart boom... I get to the login front page and when I log in with the admin account or any account I get a black screen and nothing else shows up other than the mouse arrow pointer. Has anyone else experiences this issue? I did an apt-get update, purge, cle14:43
strixUKtheadmin: mountall.conf only says 'start on startup', which isn't very helpful.  is there some way to get init to execute something /before/ mountall?14:44
strixUKlooks like the sysv init scripts are invoked by upstart14:46
theadminstrixUK: They are, yes. But I'm not sure at whcih point in the startup sequence.14:47
locoloco`Wiz_KeeD: can you see the partitions in sudo fdisk -l ?14:47
MonkeyDustWiz_KeeD: also use lsblk and sudo blkid14:47
Wiz_KeeDi will format one more time14:47
Wiz_KeeDfor what?14:47
Wiz_KeeDi think it's because one might be in uefi mode the other not14:48
Wiz_KeeDif you boot usb in uefi mode or not, then the cd-rom in uefi mode...or not14:48

newuserimpradeepy: I just did an update on both pcs. Ohh I think it may be something screwed with the video card as I was trying to install cgminer on both pcs. Is there a way to reconfigure the video card?14:54
msafiPessimist, piotr_ thanks! In Windows it's ctrl+c14:54
theadminmsafi: Ctrl+D is end-of-file, Ctrl+C is SIGINT.14:55
theadminmsafi: They do different things. Ctrl+C normally terminates an application in Linux, too.14:55
piotr_msafi: in linux Xchat?14:55
impradeepynewuser: yes, which graphic card are you using?14:56
theadminmsafi: But interactive things like shells and programming languages' interactive read-eval-print loops often expect an EOF mark14:56
msafiI'm just saying in the command propmt in Windows, ctrl+c will always take you back to the prompt.14:56
theadminmsafi: Not always. The Windows version of Python won't take that, either.14:56

vinllen^_^15:37
FourFireI have a minor problem with my HP probook 4320s15:37
dondopa2013-12-03 10:31:00 status unpacked linux-image-3.11.0-14-generic:amd64 3.11.0-14.2115:37
vinllenI am a begginer in ubuntu....15:38
FourFireI have swapped hard drives with another, exact same laptop (because of failing original drive), installed a new Ubuntu (12.04) on it and when it boots, it doesn't boot15:38
FourFireIt comes to some grub rescue terminal in 800x600 resolution15:39
FourFireunless, I select boot options in the BIOS and manually select "notebook harddrive" from boot options15:39
FourFirehow may I fix this issue?15:39
vinllenthe grub doesn't work?15:40
FourFireThe first line which shows in the grub rescue terminal refers to some device "w17h-l0t5-0f-h3x-c0d3-s7r1ng5-c0nn3c73d-8y-hyph3n5" which I assume is some ID for my old harddrive15:42
FourFireI am assuming that a fix involves in some way locating where this id is stored and editing it into my current drive's equivalent15:43
ryu_is there an nvidia/xorg ubuntu channel?15:43
FourFireunfortunately I have no idea how to begin locating this and my google fu is not as strong as that of more experienced linux users15:43

usr13lifebird64: So as you can see, if you have your system configured so that one workspace is on one monitor and the other is on the other monitor, Ctrl-Alt-Shift-right_or_left should do the trick.  (I would assume that you would need to limit workspaces to only 2, instead of the default or 4).16:08

onsight666and usr13 its really hard to give specific info when my bios has no settings regarding post errors and i dont have long enough to read / take a photo of the error17:29
onsight666otherwise i WOULD give mode details17:30

usr13onsight666: So here is now it works.  You ask questions that directly relate to your issue(s) or give specific information about your issue(s).  Others try and give advice to their best abilities.  Sometimes it is precise and a sure-fire remedy, (or work-around). Sometimes it is only a clue that might lead you in the right direction or just some  information that might be helpful.17:34

cordycepsonsight666: tried a so-called "diagnostic disc" eg rescuecd?17:35

usr13onsight666: Does it not completely boot up?  Or_______________?17:36
usr13onsight666: How long is the boot process?17:37

adamutechnickul, /dev/mapper/<something> (not wrapper)19:46
HelloteamMaybe I could just resize my current ubuntu partition and install Arch on the side... let me start up that partition manager19:46
technickulyes bbut I do have an option for /dev/sda and one of the dev/maappers has linux-device-mapper (striped) 512.1 gb)19:46
technickulI believe windows sits on the (striped) one which is why I think I want to install it there19:47
wafflejocktechnickul: yeah as adamu says sd is the "prefix", "a" for drive one, "b" for drive 2, sda0 means first drive first partition here's a nice write up on it http://www.everyjoe.com/2005/10/12/technology/explain-why-is-there-no-hda0-or-sda0/19:47

BeldarWiz_KeeD, You will save a al ot of trouble if you can get that script run for us, use nicks on every post as well.20:52
technickulWiz_KeeD: I don't think you need to reinstall windows20:52
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, I already ran it once and restart, should I run it again and post the link?20:52
dbeActionParsnip: the linux kernel. Though it's mostly an example.20:53
BeldarWiz_KeeD, always use a nick when addressing someone here is all, you can use the tab key to complete nicks. ;)20:53
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, yes I know sry...20:53
BeldarWiz_KeeD, Yeah run just the create bootinfo summary not the repair.20:53
ActionParsnipDbe: apt-cache search kernel ,may be closer. No?20:53
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, I am now installing ubuntu on the whole system which wiped out everything and it said something about a gmsth partition20:53
Wiz_KeeDI can run that bootinfo in the installed ubuntu right Beldar ?20:53
ActionParsnipDbe: the package name ubuntu uses is linux-image20:53
dbeLike... "apt-cache search kernel" returns "xenomai-doc - Xenomai documentation". It's no... kernel.. there.20:54
BeldarWiz_KeeD, Yes on the install20:54
technickulBeldar : I have received the "EFI detected. please check options" should I worry about this?20:54
dbeActionParsnip: thank you20:54
Wiz_KeeDok Beldar let me finish installing ubuntu, boot it and then will get back to you20:54
Beldartechnickul, this when running the repair?20:54
technickultrying to open it I belive I ran this comand from the website you gave "sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)"20:55
ActionParsnipDbe: have you seen what xenomai is?20:55
BeldarWiz_KeeD, If windows is not installed the the live enviroment is better so that we get windows then ubuntu installed.20:55

technickulBeldar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/654290620:56
dbeActionParsnip: I have no idea what xenomai is, but I mean, what data is apt-cache searching through to find packages? It has to be more then name and description20:56
ActionParsnipDbe: Xenomai is a real-time development framework cooperating with the Linux kernel20:57
ActionParsnipDbe: so the result is not non-sensical20:57
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, ok will install windows first then, can you please help me in the rufus should I pick MRB for bios/uefi , MRB for uefi, or GPT for uefi?20:57
dbeActionParsnip: No, I'm sure every result it gives are 'relevant', sometimes less so, but I'm wondering how it can include so many packages on every search I make20:57
=== Duppy is now known as nuller
=== nuller is now known as duppy
technickulWiz_KeeD: according to the ubuntu docs and wht I've read if you install windows as uefi then you must install ubuntu in uefi mode and vice versa20:58
BeldarWiz_KeeD, I would like to see just the bootinfo summary before you do anything if possible.20:58
circ-user-tti51Hi all, im using VMM (GUI) to create some VM's.  I cant seem to find the "Snapshot" option? I've googled and found a command line method of creating a snapshot, but is there not an option in the GUI?20:58
technickulBeldar: did you get my paste?20:59
HenkipoisActionParsnip,  I connect via WiFi20:59
=== duppy is now known as DuppyWeb
HenkipoisIt's the only issue I've had with Ubuntu so far and I can't seem to figure it out.20:59
ActionParsnipDbe: you are searching for a string in the text. A little researchbthen apt-cache search will  give better result. Could also pipe to grep for better results20:59
Beldartechnickul, I'm not really up on uefi in general, I see one helper here who is in general at the moment, there is a thread at the ubuntu forums by the developer of the bootrepair can you post that script here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post1087191720:59
ActionParsnipHenkipois: are there lots of networks on the same channel as yours?21:00
HenkipoisWhat do you mean? We only use one network in the household if that's what you mean21:00
technickulBeldar: yup I'll do that. Everything is working for me I just don't get an option to choose an OS when my laptop boots :/21:00
dbeActionParsnip: apt-cache search png gives me 286 results, including a "musical score editor" and a "router platform" and a "routing demon". Do you think these are relevant results to that search? I'm sure many of these image manipulation programs has support for PNG, but that's not really what I'm searching for21:01

DF3D2hi impossible21:01

Wiz_KeeDBeldar, bootinfo summary right?21:01
[Gentoo]descriptions and all21:01
Beldartechnickul, exactly, there are several on the ubuntu forums focused on theses issue, if you want windows in the grub menu they can help.21:02

HenkipoisActionParsnip, I'm actually running Xubuntu now because it drove me so crazy but I'm either going back to Ubuntu 13.10 or choosing something else which is why I came here to see if there was a quick solution or something. I'm having too many screen tearing issues with Xubuntu so I can't use this either.21:02
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, here we are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6542925/ thanks a lot for taking interest and time in this, i really appreciate it.It's been two days now21:02
Pessimistdbe, apt-cache search basically does grep on package descriptions so that's why you usually get a lot of irrelevant packages or none at all. There are alternatives to apt-cache search: http://debian-handbook.info/browse/wheezy/sect.apt-cache.html21:02
dbeOh so there are two descriptions, a long and a short one. That is great.21:03
DF3D2impossible, im gonna try to write a script to fix it later21:03
dbe[Gentoo]: I envy you having a sane package manager21:03
impossibleDF3D2, sounds good. did you try xdotool and compiz?21:03
[Gentoo]has apt-cache search got no option to search package names only?21:03
DF3D2impossible, nah i tried xbacklight tho21:03
[Gentoo]if not thats stupid21:03
impossiblehm. ill try this then21:03
dbe[Gentoo]: not that I have found21:03
DF3D2anyway i gtg run out and pick up food afk21:03
impossiblealrighty21:03
dbe[Gentoo]: nothing in the man page21:04
Pessimist[Gentoo], --names-only21:04
[Gentoo]ah ok21:04
[Gentoo]was gona say21:04
dbeoh great21:04
ActionParsnipHenkipois: that doesnt answer my question. The DE is irrelevant  when it comes to drivers etc21:04
Pessimistdbe, you sure? " If --full is given then output identical to show is produced for each matched package, and if --names-only is given then the long description is not searched, only the package name is."21:04
HenkipoisActionParsnip, I see a bunch of networks. 6 channels21:05
HenkipoisI mean not 6 channels, just 6 networks21:05
mrbeardHi guys :D21:05
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, as Christopher Walken would say...where do we go from here?21:06
ActionParsnipHenkipois: ok, what channels are they on?21:06
b0bbi10hi21:06
b0bbi10I have a TrueCrypt encrypted external HDD, when I plug it in a Linux system, nothing happens. I need to decrypt (mount) it before the mounted and unencrypted drive appears in my system. then I dismount it, there isn't a drive anymore which I can select. is it safe to unplug the external HDD at this time?21:06
HenkipoisThere's 3 on channel 6,  1 on channel 1 and 2 on channel 121:06
Henkipois2 on channel 11*21:06
b0bbi10or do I have to unmount it again?21:06
BeldarWiz_KeeD, No problem, I would advise you to hang tight and use the developers thread on the ubuntu forum as well, this is not a huge problem but a technical install that is attached to specific steps to get you dual booted is all, post this script on this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post1087191721:06

ActionParsnipHenkipois: what wifi driver are you using?21:07
b0bbi10[Gentoo], on the left handside in my file manager, it doesn't appear21:07

[Gentoo]b0bbi10: sudo fdisk -l21:07
[Gentoo]b0bbi10: no idea about the FM, its not a reliable way of checking21:08
BeldarWiz_KeeD, Yes to that thread, many will try to help here but this is kinda a complex fix.21:08
ActionParsnipHenkipois: sobwait, you are bad mouthing ubuntu network drivers but you dont seem to know anything aboutbwhat you are using or ANYTHING about your own setup....21:08
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, how in hell did it work before? I installed them next to each other and I formatted then again thinking it wasn't the right way...now it won't work anymore21:08
Wiz_KeeDwhat could have changed...21:08
HenkipoisI wasn't badmouthing anything?...21:09
guidemarioHi there. I'm trying to install ubuntu and I'm getting a GPT signature/table on the installation ... follow the screen: http://s8.postimg.org/riisjvvnp/Photo_Dec_08_6_58_28_PM.jpg21:09
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, would deleting all the partitions reset everything to default?21:09
guidemarioany ideas on how to proceed?21:09
[Gentoo]guidemario: has the hdd got anything on it you want?21:10
ActionParsnipHenkipois: so you didnt say "gives such bad internet connection" ...no?21:10
[Gentoo]if not just redo it21:10
b0bbi10[Gentoo], http://pastebin.com/6YN8qpf6 it's probably the last entry (320 GB)21:10
guidemariono, i have windows 7 but i want to erase it all and just use ubuntu21:10
[Gentoo]on gparted, gdisk whatever21:10
BeldarWiz_KeeD, What your not understanding is that the factory install of W8 is a whole different partition table and partitions. Also this is a uefi computer, so the whole thing is different than what you have dealt with in the past with msdos standard partitioning is all.21:10
[Gentoo]guidemario: create a new partition table with gparted21:10
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, same notebook...yesterday21:11
HenkipoisWell I keep disconnecting from the internet and that specific issue has only happened on Ubuntu which is why I'm in the support channel ActionParsnip . I didn't know I was dealing with such short fused easily offended people. It was a problem and request, not a complaint.21:11
guidemariocan I do this with the live ubuntu? i just have windows 7 installed21:11
[Gentoo]guidemario: yes21:11
ActionParsnipHenkipois: basically you have the default setup and have made zero effort to make things better. If you had you would know all the things I am asking you as they would be part of your investigation21:11
guidemariook ... i'm not familiar with gparted...I just create a new one? i mean ... what if it asks for ntfs, fat, etc....?21:11
[Gentoo]at the top bar you can choose to make a new partition table21:12
ActionParsnipHenkipois: not short fused, just calling you out when you say you didnt say something when you clearly did.21:12
BeldarWiz_KeeD, Sure but in your want to fix a problem you had with 2 windows notations in grub, you have made some mistakes leaving you where you are at.21:12
HenkipoisGoogle didn't help me at all, but now I see how awful Ubuntu's support IRC is. I'll be sure to go to 4chan where even the neckbeards help me more ActionParsnip21:12
guidemariook I'll try ... if I don't succeed, I'll be back here using the live ubuntu, thanks so far21:12
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, maybe i'm not understanding this well, but deleting everything on the hard-drive doesn't "reset to default" so to speak to bring me in the exact point before I attempted to install anything?21:13
[Gentoo]b0bbi10: try from cli (as normal user) truecrypt --auto-mount=devices21:13
ActionParsnipFunny when people say they didnt say something then when you call them out they get upset and bail21:13
[Gentoo]b0bbi10: should appear in /media21:13
[Gentoo]truecrypt121:13
BeldarWiz_KeeD, yes, if you know how to install W8 with everything in the bios set correctly and install correctly, which to be honest I am not definitively sure of.21:14
Wiz_KeeDI see Beldar, okay thank you!21:14
b0bbi10[Gentoo], you probably misunderstood my question. I dismounted the drive in TrueCrypt already. now my question is if I have to unmount it via the system again before unplugging21:14
Wiz_KeeDvery much21:14
Wiz_KeeDYou have been most kind and patient21:14
An0n_Z3r0Ok I'm back.  I've just dropped the Wubi install way and going to install via usb.  anything I need to know before I try the usb boot route?21:15
VedritHey, is iceroot or usr13 on?21:15
BeldarWiz_KeeD, You have had your cart before the horse so far is my basic nice way of saying this. ;)21:15
[Gentoo]b0bbi10: ah, you should be ok21:15
b0bbi10[Gentoo], ah ok, thanks21:15
An0n_Z3r0I've come to the conclusion that the Wubi installer just isn't mainstream ready yet with the issues i got after trying twice.21:16
bonhoefferi have a usb key i made on my mac -- i'm trying to boot get an orange screen, but it ends up in initramfs21:16
[Gentoo]b0bbi10: if you dismounted it with truecrypt and its an encrypted drive / partition, it shouldnt be mounted elsewhere anyway21:16
b0bbi10allow me one off-topic question [Gentoo]: don't you think your nick is inappropriate in here or are you in the wrong channel? hehe21:16
b0bbi10[Gentoo], I see21:16
technickulBeldar: I never said thank you. So thank you very much!21:17
[Gentoo]b0bbi10: nah ive had this nick for ages21:17
technickulAlso [Gentoo] thank you as well for your input earlier!21:17
BeldarWiz_KeeD, If it helps your not the only one having problems in this area, I have seen quite similar mistake sets in others, it is not an easy situation altogether for everone is all.21:17
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, I had absolutely NO idea how complicated this UEFI setup can be...didn't even know about uefi, just saw the notebook, thought it was really nice, cool specs and went for it...boy was I in for a ride21:17
Beldartechnickul, No problem, there are only a couple of helpers here who really know this uefi dual boot stuff, so just be aware of that.21:18

Wiz_KeeDchannel operators pls?21:20
BeldarWiz_KeeD, You are correct there, if you had windows installed and was not seeing it I would send you to the fixparts link, however you just have the windows boot partition as of now, with the windows boot in the mbr. So a lot the same but different in other ways.21:20
Wiz_KeeDtechnickul, thanks a lot for the esc boot options thing :D i don't have to rattle in bios every time like an idiot21:21
technickulWiz_KeeD: no problem :)21:21
technickulmost laptops have that now a days21:21
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, I will try to format again delete all the paritions and install windows 8 once again, though something must be changed since I'm doing the same thing, only this time will use technickul's advice and will boot the stick in uefi mode and install windows in uefi mode as well as ubuntu21:21

Wiz_KeeDI would also like the idea of having ubuntu boot automatically and I could switch by clicking escape and picking a windows bootloader21:25

Wiz_KeeDyeah doesn't sound like a good idea in general tbh though i have no tehcnical arguments behind that21:28
=== linux_ is now known as brahim
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, the bootloader and all that is all stored on the hard-drive right? I have no risks of having remaining partitions from previous installs?21:28
BeldarWiz_KeeD, You had a working setup to begin with, you were just unhappy with the dual windows entries in the grub menu.21:28
juniourhi there21:29
adamuI've always though it would be fun to write my own bootloader21:29
GandalfHow does someone write a bootloader anyway? It's basically just a redirect from the first bits on a drive to a different place that then executes the commands necessary to choose which boot files to use when continuing, right? Or am I missing something?21:29
Wiz_KeeDBeldar, yeah which could have been adjusted from grub and I woul dbe setting sail but noo...i like the whips and pains21:29
=== Guest79905 is now known as Myrtti
juniouris any thing similar in ubuntu like oolydbg21:29
BeldarWiz_KeeD, YOu now have the windows boot in the mbr, not where it should be for a uefi install.21:29
adamuGandalf, Basically have to write it purely in assembly since you have to have a flat binary or something like that.. :/21:30
[Gentoo]juniour: http://freecode.com/projects/edebugger21:30
Wiz_KeeDwhereshould it be Beldar ?21:30
adamuGandalf, instead of using system calls you communicate directly with the bios21:30
Wiz_KeeDgpt?21:30
Gandalfadamu, what instruction set does that use?21:30
GandalfIf it's bios communication, it wouldn't be full x86, right?21:30
BeldarWiz_KeeD, It would be in the HD itself, but here is where I'm not exactly where or how to fix this, if it was a standard msdos using the nbr we would be done.21:31
Beldarmbr*21:31
adamuGandalf, Your calling the bios using x86 assembly21:31
GandalfAh21:31
adamuGandalf, Kind of like using system calls with assembly on linux21:31
Gandalfright right21:31
Wiz_KeeDI still don't know how it worked the first time...damn! :((21:31
adamuGandalf, I read a few papers awhile back on writing boot loaders but its been awhile.. :/21:32
Wiz_KeeDI just spent a bit more time configuring windows and adding some windows drivers and etc21:32
Wiz_KeeD...21:32
Wiz_KeeDthat's the whole differece21:32
GandalfSo if I were so inclined, I could look up x86 instructions, and dd the raw bits out to the proper location on a drive for the redirection, then I could have a bootloader I scripted elsewhere on the drive be executed?21:32
BeldarWiz_KeeD, I would use that ubuntu forums link, not only will they help you get it setup but explain anything you don't understand, so that in the end you are set.21:32

Its in the universe repository, which I have checked off in Synaptic, but when I run 'sudo apt-get install links' from the command line it outputs "unable to locate package links".21:41
daftykinstechnickul: well, i meant the GRUB shell ^_^21:41
SchrodingersScatsyntax_: have you tried a apt-get update ?21:41
syntax_nope, I will try that now. Thanks.21:42

onsight666Beldar: thats a shame, i still love you none the less xD21:42

daftykinstechnickul: did you just install Ubuntu just now, beside Windows?21:44
technickuldaftykins: well earlier21:44
daftykinstechnickul: ok, so just to confirm, if you hit ctrl+alt+del / reset the PC, then hold left shift as it boots, you only get offered Ubuntu as options?21:45
monkeyjuicesyntax_:  i think its called links221:45
AB49K2urgh, damn internets dropping out21:45
SchrodingersScatmonkeyjuice: links is also in my repos, not sure why syntax_ isn't getting it21:45

Guest27794mgorbach If I remember correctly it's autoremove, but wait for someone else's answer21:57
Beldarsyntax_, check that it is in the 13.04 repos.21:57

syntax_Beldar, I've solved the issue. I unchecked, re-checked and ran an update after upgrading dist as per dist-upgrade and was able to install links. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help. It was much appreciated.22:41
syntax_Beldar, its people like you that make the linux community so good!22:41
fedgalaxyphysicist, im sure you can work something out. if you want to know more about the necesisity of dkms, you have to see the files yourself and try to remove/edit whatever you see unecessary22:41

KLVTZWould anyone know a solution to fixing a problem with my 13.10? I booted this morning an my unity launcher resetted. It's literally factory defaults. My unity tweak tool doesn't work  either. And even when i try changing my background image, it doesn't change. None of my settings apply when trying to change them.22:42

fedgalaxyphysicist, no problem mate. I wish I had exact answer, but as you know each laptop has different hardware, it is kinda difficult to make a global kernel works with all new laptops with 100% functionality22:44
