| Meris | I'm trying to create a bootable UEFI USB stick to boot Ubuntu 13.10 from. Simply using Startup Disk Creator does not seem to work, it fails to be recognized as a boot device on my UEFI laptop. I use Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit on my desktop computer that I use to create my disk. | 00:00 |
| Beldar | guest549, To the channel name the nvidia card, and by the way PPA's are not supported here. | 00:01 |
| guest549 | the card is a nvidia gt745 | 00:01 |

| DF3D2 | yay finally got my brightness controls to work I think everything works now | 00:02 |
| Beldar | guest549, You are using a ppa, it is probably not needed and not supported here, you can use ppa-purge if needed. | 00:02 |
| Genesis_ | Hello all, recently downloaded wubi.. wondering how to do a full ubuntu download and let go of windows. | 00:02 |
| Beldar | !ppa-purge | guest549 | 00:02 |
| ubottu | guest549: 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 00:02 |
| Genesis_ | grateful for any feedback. | 00:02 |
| Beldar | Genesis_, Wubi is run from inside windows. | 00:02 |
| MarGul | Beldar: My CPU(have a quad) is avg around 30-40%. My Mem is 1200/6000 so not so bad, no idea why my CPU/GPU fan is so loud(just cleaned it with no difference, its only when I run flash player) | 00:03 |
| Genesis_ | understandable, so that may mean that simply a full ubuntu needs to be downloaded onto a usb and installed.. | 00:03 |
| Beldar | MarGul, take a look here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 00:03 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, odd my laptop never gets hot | 00:04 |
| Beldar | Genesis_, Yes, what is the windows release? | 00:04 |
| === HeathHayle2 is now known as HeathHayle | ||
| guest549 | beldar. so if it is not needed. will the gfx card function? | 00:05 |
| MarGul | Beldar: Okey I will take a look at that, it will give me info about my fan speed and stuff right? | 00:06 |
| CompuTronix | Hi, can someone help me with a hard drive issue? | 00:06 |
| Beldar | guest549, Not an area I'm really up on. This channel though is for fixing problems if fixable when details are given. | 00:06 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, sup? | 00:06 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2, Trying to format to NTFS, hard drive goes away after any operation starts. | 00:07 |
| Beldar | MarGul, That is the basic premise yes, depends on what sensors are on the computer. | 00:07 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, hmm "goes away" ? | 00:07 |
| Meris | CompuTronix, what do you mean with "goes away"? | 00:07 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: As in Ubuntu can no longer find the drive at that address. Says "no drive at that address" | 00:07 |
| Beldar | guest549, I gave you the ppa-purge in lieu of if you have to remove it it is the safest way to remove a ppa. | 00:08 |
| Meris | Computronix, is it an internal or an external drive? | 00:08 |
| MarGul | Okey thanks a lot, I have also tried to install the newest ATI drivers but when I run the fglrxinfo command it still says my version is 13.101 and not the 13.4 that I tried to install | 00:08 |
| CompuTronix | Meris: External, connected to USB 2.0 port via USB | 00:08 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, have you remounted since you formatted ? | 00:08 |
| adamu | hiya | 00:08 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: The formatting was never successful, so no. | 00:08 |
| Beldar | MarGul, Some have good and bad responses with fglrx, I just use the stock drivers myself from the repos. | 00:09 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Unity and Nautilus still see the drive, but the activity light is off and the command line cannot see it. | 00:09 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, does dmesg show any errors? | 00:09 |
| Beldar | stock meaning open source MarGul | 00:09 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, try replugging it ? | 00:09 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Tons of "sd 6:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device | 00:09 |
| adamu | CompuTronix, Is it plugged in :? | 00:09 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, try replugging it and try again | 00:09 |
| DF3D2 | and it isn't listed in the command 'mount' ? | 00:10 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Unplugging/replugging unsuccessful. Reboot of computer is successful, but only temporarily (same problem occurs) | 00:10 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Running mount, I see "/dev/sdb on /media/jamison/9C55-9DEB type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks2) | 00:10 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, either the SATA>USB pcb is going bad or the HD it's self i'd say, or even possibly the USB port on the computer (less likely option) | 00:10 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Recommended action? | 00:11 |
| adamu | CompuTronix, Is the external drive plugged into a power source? | 00:11 |
| CompuTronix | adamu: Power source derives from computer. No external power source. | 00:11 |
| adamu | CompuTronix, Alright | 00:11 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, pastebin sudo fdisk -l please | 00:11 |
| MarGul | Beldar: Okey, I was thinking about trying the opensource drivers but it dont really feel like this is a driver issue. Another thing, when I run lspci | grep VGA i get two cards. One intel integrated and then my HD Radeon 6400M. How do I know that its only using my HD radeon 6400M and not the integrated one | 00:11 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, specify only the amd card in xorg.conf | 00:12 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: http://pastebin.com/JG3CGAdM | 00:12 |
| === markthomas_zz is now known as markthomas | ||
| DF3D2 | so CompuTronix you are saying it is mounted, but doesn't show up in fdisk ? | 00:12 |
| Beldar | MarGul, Ah, dual cards, I'm not really an expert in this area, this is important info though when getting help. | 00:13 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, I think that is odd | 00:13 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: I agree hahaha | 00:13 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Hardware problem, do you think? | 00:13 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, i've had it happen | 00:13 |
| DF3D2 | USB>SATA pcb goes bad, but the SATA hd is fine (still using the HD in my comp years later) | 00:13 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: Thanks. I will try and do this, you think I need a reboot? | 00:14 |
| noemie | can anyone tell me when making a few partitions, size on sda and sdb are not the same even though when input the same size on creation | 00:14 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, for changing xorg settings? no | 00:14 |
| === LjL is now known as MetaPsycho | ||
| DF3D2 | MarGul, google how to specify a specific device in xorg ... hint: you need the pci info from lspci | 00:14 |
| DF3D2 | such as | 00:14 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: USB -> SATA going bad, is that a hardware issue? Will replacing USB cable fix it? | 00:14 |
| MarGul | Beldar: Okey, thanks for your help though. Going to try and remove my integrated one and we'll see what happens | 00:14 |
| Meris | I'm trying to create a bootable UEFI USB stick to boot Ubuntu 13.10 from. Simply using Startup Disk Creator does not seem to work, it fails to be recognized as a boot device on my UEFI laptop. I use Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit on my desktop computer that I use to create my disk. The USB stick has a gpt partition table and has a primary partition formatted to FAT32 | 00:15 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, the actual PCB in the enclosure | 00:15 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, this is an HDD enclosure right, not a usb flash stick | 00:15 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Correct. You're saying the circuitboard is fried? | 00:16 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, like this: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 00:16 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, i'm not saying it, i'm assuming it's a possibility | 00:16 |
| adamu | Meris, Try using unetbootin to create the bootable usb drive | 00:16 |
| DF3D2 | the actual Hdd could be fucked too | 00:16 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, can you take it out of the enclosure and plug it in via sata | 00:16 |
| Meris | adamu, does unetbootin support gpt/ UEFI? | 00:16 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: I can crack the enclosure, how do you recommend I plug in via SATA? | 00:16 |
| Beldar | Meris, Format the usb flash to a not gpt table fat32 then use the Startup Disk Creator. You can use gparted to change the table and make a new partition. | 00:16 |
| adamu | Meris, I have no idea | 00:17 |
| Meris | Beldar, a non gpt-table won't be recognized on UEFI motherboards. | 00:17 |
| adamu | Meris, I am not familiar with UEFI but unetbootin is good for creating bootable USB drives | 00:17 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, srsly ? | 00:17 |
| Djinnei | yo dawg, so how do I run an executable from the commandline in ubuntu? I tried 'run minderd'; 'run ./minerd'; '/minderd'; /run minerd etccccccc | 00:18 |
| adamu | UEFI just seems like a major headache :/ hopefully one I can avoid (at least for a few years) | 00:18 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, HDD < sata wire > mobo | 00:18 |
| DF3D2 | Djinnei, ./exec | 00:18 |
| adamu | Djinnei, chmod +x minerd && ./minerd | 00:18 |
| DF3D2 | Djinnei, ./program | 00:18 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Not familiar with low-level hardware. Please elaborate. | 00:18 |
| adamu | Djinnei, chmod +x to give it executable permissions | 00:18 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: Okey cool, im in my xorg.conf.d dir right now. (the google how to specify a specific device in xorg didnt really do it for me) Where would I specify my graphic card? | 00:19 |
| Beldar | Meris, Ubuntu has a efi boot | 00:19 |
| technickul | Beldar: oh gosh another efier lol | 00:19 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, hold on | 00:19 |
| technickul | Beldar: I'll be on later so I might be able to help now lol | 00:19 |
| adamu | technickul, Your laptop working good now? | 00:20 |

| Meris | technickul, well, I'd appreciate help with UEFI | 00:20 |
| technickul | adamu mostly just having issues with battery and fan occasionaly | 00:20 |
| adamu | technickul, thats good | 00:20 |
| Beldar | Meris, So what is the end goal here? | 00:20 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, sec | 00:20 |
| technickul | Meris: I'm going grocery shopping right now i"ll be on in about an hour I'll be back :) | 00:20 |
| adamu | cya :) | 00:21 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: Think I found one | 00:21 |
| technickul | adamu: sorta good I just don't want anything to happen to my battery | 00:21 |
| daftykins | Meris: i've heard that unetbootin can break UEFI boot capability when making up a flash drive | 00:21 |
| technickul | see ya | 00:21 |
| adamu | technickul, oh | 00:21 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Thanks for that. Recommending I crack open HDD enclosure AND laptop enclosure and plug HDD directly into mobo? | 00:21 |
| Meris | Beldar, the end goal is to install Ubuntu as dual-boot with Win8.1 on my Vaio Pro 13 | 00:21 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, laptop enclosure ? | 00:21 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: "computer" I've been referring to is a laptop. To access mobo I would have to open 'er up. | 00:22 |
| Beldar | Meris, Cool then you need a msdos fat32 on the usb at first then figure the install correctly. | 00:22 |
| DF3D2 | CompuTronix, that presents a problem since the external hd is likely 3.5" and laptops take 2.5" | 00:23 |
| DF3D2 | no desktops ? | 00:23 |
| === ivan_ is now known as Guest99550 | ||
| Beldar | Meris, I would make sure to have the recory drive made in windows 8 and a full cloned backup as well. | 00:23 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: I find this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics , but it says that its a good thing and that the laptop will switch to the dedicated GPU when I watch movies, play games etc and just use the integrated one for applications to save energy. Dont know if I want to disable it | 00:23 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, dont disable it then | 00:23 |
| DF3D2 | dnt realize u hd a hybrid i thought u had 2 devices | 00:23 |
| DF3D2 | I didn't* | 00:23 |
| profligacy | Is Ubuntu lightweight? | 00:24 |
| DF3D2 | I know 0 about hybrids, I hear they are problems | 00:24 |
| DF3D2 | profligacy, xubuntu is | 00:24 |
| adamu | profligacy, its software it doesn't weigh anything :{ | 00:24 |
| Meris | Beldar, there is already a FAT32 partition on my USB stick. The main drive is gpt-formatted though, so it won't be recognized in legacy mode. | 00:24 |
| Beldar | profligacy, depends on your definition of lightweight | 00:24 |
| adamu | profligacy, The server install can be pretty light weight | 00:24 |
| Beldar | Meris, You are misunderstanding, ubuntu has a efi boot that will read the HD, you can't load the ubuntu iso to a gpt is all. | 00:25 |
| k1l_ | profligacy: take a look at lubuntu | 00:25 |
| profligacy | What's Xbuntu? | 00:25 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: To be honest with you I dont know if I have hybrid actually. It was just a qualified guess to why I have one integrated and one dedicated one hehe | 00:25 |
| k1l_ | !lubuntu | profligacy | 00:25 |
| ubottu | profligacy: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 00:25 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, u could google the model #s | 00:25 |
| DF3D2 | and the laptop model # | 00:26 |
| Meris | profligacy, I use Lubuntu (openbox/ LXDE) . You can't get much lighter than that | 00:26 |
| profligacy | Meris: k1l_ Thanks. | 00:26 |
| adamu | tinycore linux is the smallest distro I know of (12mb) | 00:26 |
| Beldar | Meris, At not least with the app you are doing it with and a gpt table on the usb is not needed to install | 00:26 |
| === markthomas is now known as markthomas_away | ||
| DF3D2 | adamu, geez what is that a core and a tty | 00:27 |
| DF3D2 | kernel and a tty | 00:27 |
| CompuTronix | DF3D2: Thanks for the help. Signing off. | 00:27 |
| CompuTronix | !quit | 00:27 |
| DF3D2 | yep CompuTronix take care | 00:27 |
| adamu | DF3D2, its got a light weight desktop and package manager but yeah thats about it | 00:27 |
| Djinnei | thanks DF3D2 and adamu | 00:27 |
| DF3D2 | adamu, wow it has a window manager at 12mb ? | 00:27 |
| adamu | Djinnei, NP | 00:27 |
| Meris | Beldar, actually the first step is to make a bitwise copy of my restore partition that came with this laptop, using dd. | 00:27 |
| adamu | DF3D2, 12mb compressed :/ | 00:27 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: yeah thats what I'm doing now and my laptop does use hybrid so this wont solve my problem. Going to try and install chrome and see how flash works there. A little bit worried that my fan spins out of control when using flash player. Use youtube a lot | 00:28 |
| adamu | DF3D2, might be more once you burn it to the CD | 00:28 |
| Beldar | Meris, I would not dd myself, but carry on. | 00:28 |
| Meris | Beldar, well, after having started the Live image of Ubuntu that is. | 00:28 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, that is odd, I can use flash and my laptop never gets over 45c | 00:28 |
| DF3D2 | fan never gets loud | 00:28 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, i'd install lm-sensors and check ur temps | 00:29 |
| Beldar | Meris, windows has a built in imager, I use it or clonezilla myself. | 00:29 |
| Meris | Beldar, what would you use to make a bitwise copy of a restore partition then? (It's NTFS formatted and Sony propriatary) | 00:29 |
| Beldar | Meris, Use the windows imager and do the whole HD | 00:29 |
| adamu | Meris, you could also try just installing ubuntu and running windows in a VM | 00:30 |
| DF3D2 | Meris, I always just use dd | 00:30 |
| Meris | Beldar, ehm, no, that won't fit, I don't have 256GB to spare. | 00:30 |
| Beldar | adamu, a oem wont go to a vm. | 00:30 |
| DF3D2 | but Meris use clonezilla then it can do just the files u have | 00:30 |
| Beldar | Meris, ah, not fully prepared, hmm a common theme here, good luck. ;) | 00:30 |
| DF3D2 | and still restore just like it was a dd image | 00:31 |
| adamu | Beldar, I meant get rid of Windows install Ubuntu then use windows license to run in vm | 00:31 |
| Meris | Beldar, aye to that, alas... | 00:31 |
| Beldar | adamu, Would not let the oem key run in a vm, they would have to buy another. | 00:31 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: I have jupiter installed and my regular temps is like 50C but when I run flash player for long it gets warmer(60-70c). Maybe I have to try and clean out my laptop again(just did it 1 week ago) | 00:31 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, did you use air and blow the vents out? | 00:31 |
| Meris | Beldar, the restore partition is only a measly 4GB. It makes no sense to make an image of the entire HDD | 00:31 |
| DF3D2 | how old is it ? | 00:31 |
| adamu | Beldar, really? I did that with mine and it worked :/ | 00:32 |
| Beldar | Meris, That being you could trigger the restore partition. | 00:32 |
| DF3D2 | Meris, if you have disk space it makes perfect sense I do it all the time | 00:32 |
| Beldar | adamu, A oem, what release? | 00:32 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: yes, i did not remove my mother board to get it extra clean (didnt dare to do that) but I maybe gonna have to | 00:33 |
| adamu | Beldar, Windows 7 License that shipped with my laptop... maybe hardware virtualization support being enabled in bios has something to do with it? | 00:34 |
| bekks | MarGul: Try using google chrome, not chromium, and ensure that you are using PepperFlash, not Adobe Flash. | 00:34 |
| MarGul | The motherboard is in the way to get a complete clean. To afraid to break my laptop though, poor student and I would die without a computer haha | 00:34 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, if it is super old might need new thermal paste | 00:34 |
| adamu | MarGul, Also HTML5 youtube works well | 00:34 |
| Meris | DF3D2, Clonezilla eh?, hmm, does that also work on NTFS volumes? neat... | 00:35 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: about 2 years old so shouldnt need that. But I might gonna have to do all that | 00:35 |
| Beldar | adamu, I have not heard of this working MS has specifics about this and programs to prevent it with a OEM install. I would just say just because you claims it works, do not advise people to do it here, they would throw you off the ##windows channel if you advised it there. | 00:35 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, hmm 2 years, you never know it could be crusty | 00:36 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest77796 | ||
| adamu | Beldar, alright sounds good | 00:36 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, thats why I always write my temps down when I get a laptop, that way I know if the paste needs changed | 00:36 |
| DF3D2 | I just got this one, max temp i've seen has been 53c (max is 105c for ivy bridge) but I wouldn't wanna go over 80c | 00:37 |
| Beldar | adamu, I mean really if there is a stipulation that allows this just be sure you know it and include it in advising is all. ;) | 00:37 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: Yeah I really should do all this stuff but like I said, a bit afraid of breaking it because I have never done that on a laptop before. Yeah writing down temps is smart | 00:37 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, yeah, laptops can be hard | 00:37 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, what processor you got? | 00:38 |
| MarGul | adamu: how do I know if I use HTML5 when I'm using youtube? Pretty sure I will try out google chrome and see if that solves my problem | 00:38 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: Intel i 5 2,4 Ghz quad | 00:38 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, flash is a piece of crap anyway, necessary though I know. | 00:38 |
| adamu | MarGul, try this http://www.youtube.com/html5 | 00:38 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, im guessing it is sandy bridge based | 00:39 |
| DF3D2 | then | 00:39 |
| adamu | DF3D2, Yeah I am ready for flash to die :p | 00:39 |
| MarGul | adamu: thanks, set it up for HTML5 now. See if I expirence any difference | 00:39 |
| adamu | MarGul, np | 00:40 |
| DF3D2 | adamu, flash is why I had to stop using freebsd | 00:40 |
| DF3D2 | I could never get it to work | 00:40 |
| DF3D2 | adamu, I think everyone except adobe wants it to die | 00:41 |
| adamu | DF3D2, ahh the BSDs are fun.. I really like OpenBSD.. my problem was NVIDIA Graphics and Intel Wireless so now I just run it on servers :P | 00:41 |
| DF3D2 | adamu, Same! | 00:41 |
| DF3D2 | I have it on a server my self | 00:41 |
| Beldar | Meris, You can get the oem reinstall discs from the manufacture, I did that on a new purchase myself. On all the upgrades from that I was sure to get the ISO's and discs of them, so you have several options to just ensure you have Windows backed up sp to speak. | 00:41 |
| Meris | DF3D2, I know plenty of designers that claim that HTML5 doesn't provide a good alternative to flash yet. so many features are missing. | 00:42 |
| Beldar | so* | 00:42 |
| DF3D2 | adamu, this new laptop nothing worked right on freebsd | 00:42 |
| DF3D2 | everything works on ubuntu. I had to do a bit of work to get some of it to work, but didn't take long... wifi + ethernet + function keys +sd card+touch screen all work on xubuntu 13 | 00:42 |
| Meris | Beldar, I contacted Sony about those OEM disks, they would not send them, even if I paid them. | 00:42 |
| adamu | DF3D2, yeah I love the PF firewall with IPTables sometimes I think the developers were trying to see how annoying they could make the configuration syntax for it :/ | 00:43 |
| Meris | adamu, pf rules | 00:43 |
| Beldar | Meris, really, I'm surprised, what was their excuse? I would climb their managerial ladder till I got them myself. | 00:44 |
| MarGul | DF3D2: Got temp at 80c when I use flash now. This is bad | 00:44 |
| DF3D2 | adamu, the other problem with freebsd is the support -- the people in the irc channel expect you to have a comp science degree, and they just keep saying read the manual even when you have followed it to a T and stuff doesn't work. I did get EXCELLENT support from the guy who handles some of the wifi stuff via email though..... I just had to stop using it too many problems. | 00:44 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, that is bad | 00:44 |
| DF3D2 | adamu, for server use it is great, desktop use it's not good at all imo. Maybe pc-bsd is better, I never actually tried it I couldn't wait to get back on linux lol. | 00:45 |
| MarGul | My CPU % is just at around 10-20% so I dont get it. Probably need to clean it out better. | 00:45 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, I remember having a laptop where flash made it hot as satans ass | 00:45 |
| Meris | Beldar, they claimed that they had significantly altered Win8 in order to optimize it for the Vaio. The "optimizing" seemed to go further than simple .inf tweaks | 00:45 |
| DF3D2 | MarGul, that was awhile ago though | 00:45 |
| bekks | MarGul: Then look at "top" to see why. | 00:45 |
| DF3D2 | Meris, win8 is terrible, 8.1 is pretty good. | 00:46 |
| bekks | MarGul: Cleaning your fan will not change the CPU consumption. | 00:46 |
| Beldar | Meris, That makes no sense as far as selling you a oem disc set specified for that install. | 00:46 |
| Beldar | Meris, Is this a W8 to W8.1 upgrade and you asked for the W8.1 set? | 00:47 |
| MarGul | bekks: no I get that but it should hopefully stop my fan from spinning out of control (which is prob what generates the heat because its not CPU consumtion). Hopefully chrome solves this problem for me | 00:47 |
| Meris | Beldar, I couldn't agree more, but Sony seems more than a bit headstrong when it comes to that. | 00:47 |
| Payton | Hi, I wanted to know how to uninstall ubuntu from my PC, I am using dual boot | 00:47 |
| bekks | MarGul: It will not. Investigate why you CPU is constantly at 10-20%. Everything else will not solve your issue. | 00:48 |
| Beldar | Meris, did you get my last question? | 00:48 |
| adamu | DF3D2, yeah its more for server use and in that regard it does it job well IMO | 00:48 |
| MarGul | bekks: its not constantly at 10-20%. When I dont use any heavy apps its not that much. But I just mean that when I run flash if it was to be my CPU consumption I should see like 100% in CPU but I see low numbers even though my fan spins like crazy | 00:49 |
| Meris | Beldar, no I didn't, sorry about that. I asked them for either Win8 or Win81 (preferrably the last one). They refused bluntly. | 00:49 |
| bekks | MarGul: Then use a more recent flash implementation rather than that old, meanwhile unsupported, flash 11.2 | 00:49 |
| bekks | MarGul: Use the PepperFlash plugin shipped with chrome. | 00:50 |
| MarGul | bekks: Yes thats what I'm going to try now :) | 00:50 |
| joossee | is there a way to bridge to 100mbit connections to the same network into a single 200mbit connection in ubuntu 12.04? | 00:50 |
| joossee | ..two 100mbit connections... | 00:50 |
| Payton | Hi, I wanted to know how to uninstall ubuntu from my PC, I am using dual boot I want to know how so I wont have any problems later | 00:50 |
| Beldar | Meris, Ah, like I said I would climb their management ladder till I got a legit excuse. Or just get a external that would hold the full back up anyway, but that is me. | 00:51 |
| joossee | payton; easiest way is to reinstall windows | 00:51 |
| Beldar | Payton, Uninstall, and have what left? | 00:51 |
| adamu | I've been running flash and silverlight in pipelight and it has worked well | 00:51 |
| bekks | joossee: Nonsense, honestly. | 00:51 |
| daftykins | Beldar: dualboot part was a clue | 00:51 |
| Payton | Beldar: joossee I am using dual boot so I have both windows and ubuntu.. | 00:51 |
| Payton | xD | 00:52 |
| Beldar | Payton, What windows release? | 00:52 |
| Payton | Beldar: 8, I don't want 8.1 :P | 00:52 |
| bekks | Payton: Start Windows, have a Windows CD handy, delete the Ubuntu partition, shutdown Windows, boot the Windows CD, repait the boot environment, done. | 00:52 |
| joossee | bekks, ok well i figures the boot manager is above his pay grade but w/e.. let him rewrite his MBR | 00:52 |
| Payton | I'm using SD :P | 00:52 |
| Payton | And it works fine | 00:52 |
| Beldar | Payton, Go to ##windows and have them tell set you up on the correct windows boot using the windows boot laoder, then wipe ubuntu. | 00:53 |
| joossee | bekks, oh allright thatll do... | 00:53 |
| Payton | Beldar: Glad you told me what to do, but how is my question | 00:53 |
| bekks | Payton: your question has been answered. | 00:53 |
| Beldar | Payton, There is no specific un-install and with a uefi grub is been inserted in it is all. | 00:54 |
| Meris | DF3D2, I tried booting from USB using both Legacy and UEFI mode, using mbr part. table and Fat32 partition. On Legacy mode the screen shows "Operating System Not Found", on UEFI, it tells me that the disk cannot be booted from (yes, I have secure boot set to off) | 00:54 |

| adamu | Payton, how is it unrelated? because to remove ubuntu you need to windows stuff :P (and some of us don't touch windows with a 10ft make it 12ft pole) | 00:54 |
| Payton | bekks: I don't have a windows CD, it was pre installed. | 00:55 |
| Beldar | Payton, I would be sure you have the windows boot menu before you wipe ubuntu is all. | 00:55 |
| Payton | bekks: And I'm using an SD not a disk, and it works fine | 00:56 |
| Beldar | Payton, You can do this with the windows recovery drive you should have made already in windows. | 00:56 |
| bekks | Payton: You need a windows cd to repair your windows boot environment. But thats not a topic in here. | 00:56 |
| Payton | bekks: Like I said, it was pre installed and I don't have a CD. | 00:57 |
| bekks | Payton: Nonetheless, you need one. | 00:57 |
| adamu | Payton, if you installed with the install alongside of windows option and your still using the windows bootloader not grub you can actually remove ubuntu in add or remove programs :/ | 00:57 |
| adamu | Payton, It for get what its called I think its wubi? | 00:58 |
| Beldar | adamu, That would be a wubi removal. | 00:58 |
| joossee | Payton, or you may have a rescue partition already on the drive, at which point you should be able to just choose that and do a repair, then you can reclaim the HD space that ubuntu took by repartitioning it. | 00:58 |
| Payton | adamu: And that would recover all lost memory, right? | 00:58 |
| adamu | Payton, I'm not sure I think it would if you installed with wubi and used wubi removeal | 00:58 |
| adamu | Payton, I think a better question is why would you ever want to get rid of Ubuntu :P | 00:59 |
| Beldar | Payton, You installed ubuntu in a partition right? If so that is not a wubi install. | 00:59 |
| Payton | Wait I could create a restore pont to return to right? | 00:59 |
| Payton | point* | 00:59 |

| v0latil3 | hello. i have windows 7 and ubuntu 13.10 dual boot. i was wondering if it is possible to run MS office with wine with my existing install in windows 7. like could i mount my windows partition and run it from there somehow? | 01:00 |
| joossee | is there a good package for analyzing and enumerating your network for ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| Beldar | Payton, How did you install ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| adamu | v0latil3, no that doesn't really work well | 01:01 |
| adamu | v0latil3, just use libreoffice and export as pdf when your done | 01:01 |
| v0latil3 | i am asking about outlook | 01:01 |
| Meris | adamu, installing unetbootin does not succeed on my desktop. I get an error about a leaked pipe during lvs invocation. | 01:01 |
| v0latil3 | thunderbird doesnt work with exchange | 01:01 |
| Payton | Beldar: I partitioned it / = 12GB swap = 8GB the rest is in /home | 01:01 |
| adamu | v0latil3, oh well in that case maybe you could just use owa instead? | 01:02 |
| v0latil3 | i guess i could do that | 01:02 |
| Beldar | Payton, Then that is a standard install, make the recovery drive in W8 you need that no matter what. Are you using the grub menu to boot windows as of now? | 01:03 |
| Meris | adamu, the error message is partially in Japanese. I have reported it using the error reporter. | 01:03 |
| adamu | Meris, well your in luck I speak some japanese :P | 01:03 |
| Payton | Beldar: I don't know what the grub menu is, remember I am new to ubuntu | 01:03 |
| Payton | .. | 01:03 |
| nts7jst4bt1 | I wonder here is any metaspliot tutorials? | 01:04 |
| === jnpplf_ is now known as jnpplf | ||
| Beldar | adamu, Please be careful what you advise Payton's install was not a wubi, and you git then interested in your post which was wrong, this gets things confused here. | 01:04 |
| Meris | adamu, me too and I figured you did, because your nick translates perfectly into katakana :-) | 01:04 |
| adamu | Meris, yeah :) | 01:04 |
| yeats | v0latil3: you might experiment with evolution - it may have better exchange support | 01:04 |
| adamu | Beldar, okay ill ask before I advise :/ | 01:04 |
| Beldar | Payton the grub menu looks nothing like a windows menu to start with. If you had a windows only boot you would see no menu, do you see one as of now that has a choice of ubuntu and or windows? | 01:05 |
| Meris | adamu, would you like to read the error in a pastebin? | 01:05 |
| Payton | Beldar: Yes a menu saying to boot windows or the SD card (G:) | 01:05 |
| adamu | Meris, I'll try :/ | 01:06 |
| Beldar | adamu, Just be sure what you advise is correct is all. | 01:06 |
| Beldar | Payton, sd card? no ubuntu notation? | 01:06 |
| Payton | Beldar: Nope, and on the SD it works fine. :) | 01:06 |
| Beldar | Payton, what works fine? | 01:07 |
| adamu | Beldar, okay I didn't know if he used wubi so I was just saying if he used wubi he could do that but yeah next time I'll ask if they used wubi before I say anything.. | 01:07 |
| Payton | Beldar: Booting from the SD | 01:07 |
| Meris | adamu, here you are, it's a curious mix of Dutch, English and Japanese (mostly katana though): http://paste.ubuntu.com/6543695/ | 01:07 |
| Beldar | Payton, Heh, what is on the ssd ubuntu? | 01:07 |
| Payton | Beldar: Not ssd, SD. and yes i have the ISO on there | 01:08 |
| adamu | Meris, I can never tell the difference between katakana n and so :P | 01:08 |
| Beldar | Payton, my sd meant ssd a typo, so lets ask again on theis boot menu the ssd is the ubuntu install. | 01:09 |
| Meris | adamu, well, when you write them down, they have a different stroke order. so has a smaller angle between the strokes than n | 01:09 |
| Payton | Beldar: I can't understand what you just said, sorry | 01:10 |
| Beldar | Payton, You have a boot menu it says windows or ssd right? | 01:10 |
| Meris | adamu, here you are: ソン (son) | 01:10 |
| Payton | Beldar: Windows and SD, not ssd! xD | 01:11 |
| adamu | Meris, yeah I'm not sure what it says :/ but thanks! | 01:11 |
| Beldar | Payton, okay then you said SD works what is it, where does it lead you and what OS is it. | 01:11 |
| Payton | Beldar: It leads me to ubuntu of course :P | 01:12 |
| Meris | adamu, ah, you have no support for Japanese installed? Sorry about that then. I didn't want to confuse you. | 01:12 |
| adamu | Meris, no I meant the pastebin I can't read the pastebin japanese | 01:12 |
| Beldar | Payton, Cool, so can you make a recovery drive in windows? This is a small disc for repairs and needed to reset the windows boot to just it and other uses? | 01:13 |
| noemie | 12.04 alternate fails to install at select and install packages | 01:13 |
| noemie | wtf | 01:13 |
| Payton | Beldar: how would I do that? | 01:14 |
| Payton | Beldar: You mean restore point? | 01:14 |
| Beldar | Payton, MS has links to this, no it is not a restore point it is this. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-usb-recovery-drive | 01:15 |
| Meris | adamu, but I can ;-) subproces "インストール済みの post-installation スクリプト" roughly translates to: "The completion of the post install script" (...) returned an error value of 1 | 01:16 |
| Payton | Oh god no | 01:16 |
| Beldar | Payton, It is a bootble disc or usb to make repairs and load images and other repairs. | 01:16 |
| Payton | I'm not reseting windows | 01:16 |
| Payton | And I only have 2GB SD | 01:16 |
| Payton | ... | 01:16 |
| Beldar | Payton, Read the link it is not a rest. | 01:16 |
| noemie | seems this is another typical linux bug | 01:16 |
| adamu | Meris, what is that kanji? | 01:17 |
| noemie | they desperately need bsd coders | 01:17 |
| Beldar | Payton, Can I ask how old you are? | 01:17 |
| Payton | Beldar: Yes, 15. | 01:17 |
| Payton | Beldar: I don't have a USB xD | 01:17 |
| Meris | adamu, 済み means completion in this context. | 01:17 |
| adamu | Meris, okay thanks I only know like 5 kanji :/ | 01:18 |
| Beldar | Payton, Ah, just wondered as we are having some problems with understanding some things here. What you need to make is this disc or usb to repair the windows boot so you can wipe ubuntu and have windows boot. | 01:18 |
| Payton | Beldar: So like a virtual disc? | 01:19 |
| stamoulis | hi there, i am set to autologin and my keyring password is the same as my account password, yet it still promots me. please help :) | 01:19 |
| Beldar | Payton, this is a small disc or usb at the most about 300mb, not a virtual persay, a bootable repair setup | 01:19 |
| Meris | adamu, try http://taw.chaosforge.org/jrpg/ ,it's written in Python, so it even runs on my ARM-based OpenPandora | 01:20 |
| Payton | Beldar: So I would need a actual disc or USB? | 01:20 |
| Payton | :o | 01:20 |
| Beldar | Payton, yes | 01:20 |
| Payton | Beldar, I only have an SD.. | 01:20 |
| Beldar | Payton, and sd is? | 01:20 |
| adamu | Meris, Nice thanks I'll try compiling it now :) | 01:20 |
| Payton | Beldar, SD card | 01:20 |
| Beldar | Payton, same one that ubuntu is on? | 01:21 |
| adamu | Meris, well wait its in python then I probably don't need to compile it :P | 01:21 |
| Meris | adamu, you don't have to compile it. | 01:21 |
| Payton | Beldar: Yes | 01:21 |
| Meris | adamu, right, you just need the proper libs, like PyGame | 01:21 |
| Beldar | Payton, this plugged in externally? | 01:21 |
| Payton | Beldar: http://blog.frankvh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sd-card.jpeg :P | 01:21 |
| Beldar | Payton, turn the computer off remove the sd and start it and it should boot to windows if this is the case wipe the sd. | 01:22 |
| Payton | Beldar: So just boot from SD when it is inserted ? :) | 01:23 |
| Payton | Or wipe the SD.. | 01:23 |
| Beldar | Payton, No boot without the sd inserted | 01:23 |
| Payton | Wait, the files for ubuntu will still be on my HDD | 01:23 |
| adamu | Meris, Darn it I need python 2.4 :/ I'll have to try it later when I have some time to set it up | 01:24 |
| Beldar | Payton, That is fine I want to see if windows will just boot without the sd. | 01:24 |
| Meris | adamu, I run Python 2.67. Runs without a hitch | 01:24 |
| Payton | Beldar: I meant unintall completly. | 01:25 |
| Payton | :P | 01:25 |
| Payton | Curse my spelling | 01:25 |
| uBUXUBu | does chromium run better than FF in ubuntu 1204? | 01:25 |
| Beldar | Payton, can you just see if windows boots with the sd inserted? | 01:25 |
| Payton | uBUXUBu: I think it does but we have opinions | 01:25 |
| Beldar | Payton, without sorry | 01:25 |
| Payton | Beldar: Sure let me get my ubuntu PC | 01:25 |
| adamu | Meris, Oh I installed pygame and then it doesn't seem to be working and I am getting a message about requiring python 2.4 :/ | 01:25 |
| uBUXUBu | my ff seems a bit...slow | 01:26 |
| Meris | uBUXUBu, it depends. It usually feels snappier, but I can't live without my NoScript and AdBlock | 01:26 |
| Payton | uBUXUBu: Get cromium then | 01:26 |
| adamu | Meris, Oh its because I installed 32bit pygame with 64bit python :/ | 01:26 |
| Beldar | Payton, Please stay on just the topic of your request we are far beyond a normal fix here. | 01:26 |
| uBUXUBu | do i need no script in ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| uBUXUBu | im never root anyway | 01:26 |
| Payton | Beldar: It skips the GRUB menu when the SD is not inserted :) | 01:27 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, noscript firefox addon? yeah its good helps to stop XSS attacks | 01:27 |
| uBUXUBu | does it slow ff down | 01:27 |
| Beldar | Payton, and does it go straight to windows? | 01:27 |
| Meris | uBUXUBu, neither am I, but Javascript can do some pretty nasty things. It can be both a boon and a curse | 01:27 |
| uBUXUBu | hmm i guess im not aware of any attacks | 01:28 |
| uBUXUBu | on buntu | 01:28 |
| uBUXUBu | reboot and all gone right? | 01:28 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, XSS, CSRF are all really bad IMO | 01:28 |
| uBUXUBu | i run what can they do to my OS? | 01:28 |
| Payton | Beldar: Yes | 01:29 |
| uBUXUBu | what can xss and csrf do to my computer? | 01:29 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, they can exploit the browser to gain code execution on your system then they can try to escalate privileges, XSS can lead to session hijacking CSRF Token Stealing and alot of other bad stuff | 01:29 |
| Meris | uBUXUBu, normally you don't notice them, but they can steal personal data for instance or they can trugger a Javascript based know vulnarability in your browser. Lot's of vulnaribilities in browser occur in the JavaScript engine | 01:29 |
| Meris | trugger => trigger | 01:30 |
| uBUXUBu | wow even in ubuntu | 01:30 |
| Beldar | Payton, ah, well then it seems you ahve a windows boot without grub that's good. I would remove the sd card boot to windows and wipe the ubuntu install from there with its disk manager and the sd to, and use the sd card for the recovery media. | 01:30 |
| uBUXUBu | i have it set to store nothing and run ff in private only | 01:30 |
| gordonjcp | uBUXUBu: the OS you're running isn't relevant | 01:30 |
| uBUXUBu | then when done i run terminal apt get autoremove | 01:30 |
| gordonjcp | uBUXUBu: it's more down to badly-designed websites | 01:30 |
| uBUXUBu | wow | 01:30 |
| Payton | Beldar: So uninstall from list of programs? | 01:30 |
| Payton | :D | 01:30 |
| uBUXUBu | how do i know if i have them now | 01:31 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, yeah a lot of programmers don't know about CSRF and XSS is just hard to prevent when you have input being displayed a lot of places | 01:31 |
| Beldar | Payton, ubuntu should not be in the list of programs if you put it in a partition. | 01:31 |
| Payton | Thanks, I just needed to know, But i would never uninstall ubuntu :P | 01:31 |
| uBUXUBu | i suppose i could uninstall FF and reinstall it once in awhile | 01:31 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, no you should be fine the point is no script is good to have :/ | 01:31 |

| Beldar | Payton, THanks for a complete waste of time your going to ignore where you belong. | 01:32 |
| Meris | uBUXUBu, you would have to purge FF, including your personal profile in ~/.mozilla/firefox in order to get rid of everything *that is limited to FF* | 01:32 |
| uBUXUBu | sheesh | 01:32 |
| Payton | No need to be rude, Beldar | 01:32 |
| Payton | Beldar: I just wanted to know incase somthing ever hapened.. | 01:33 |
| Beldar | Payton, That was a ridiculous set of posts due to your lack of knowledge, don't waste our time here | 01:33 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, Security isn't about being bullet proof its more about layers like an onion :P Generally linux is not targeted by browser exploit packs though but thats just more security through obscurity which isn't security at all | 01:34 |
| Payton | Hey, no need to be like that, Beldar... | 01:34 |
| Meris | uBUXUBu, Firefox has access to your file tree and if it contains vulnerabilities that can be exploited within Gecko, the attacker can access your filetree using your normal user rights. | 01:34 |
| uBUXUBu | whoah | 01:34 |
| Payton | Beldar: I just wanted to know how so i could go back to windows if i needed, making it worth the time | 01:35 |
| uBUXUBu | its nice too see buntu is using both my core salmost equally | 01:35 |
| * Beldar would rather deal with kindergärtners they have better communication and higher cognitive skills, lol. | 01:35 | |
| uBUXUBu | almost* | 01:35 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, I suppose if you really wanted too you could chain together a firefox memory corruption vulnerability and a linux kernel exploit and get root access :P | 01:36 |
| Payton | Beldar, so lets all be friends here and set that to the side :) | 01:36 |
| uBUXUBu | i cant imagine that adam_ | 01:36 |
| uBUXUBu | adamu | 01:36 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, its most certainly possible | 01:36 |
| uBUXUBu | this 12.04 is so smooth on my optiplex its amazing i can hear anything running | 01:37 |
| Meris | uBUXUBu, try reading the release info of Firefox versions, especially those marked in Red (Critical) | 01:37 |
| uBUXUBu | no tick tick tickcant* | 01:37 |
| uBUXUBu | its like it doesnt even run the cpu | 01:37 |
| adamu | That would actually be a fun weekend project chain a firefox exploit and a linux kernel exploit together :P | 01:37 |
| adamu | then brute force local router password (assuming default credentials are used and portforward and install openssh :P) | 01:38 |
| uBUXUBu | i think ill turn a dell into a hardware firewall | 01:39 |
| adamu | uBUXUBu, thats always fun I recommend pfsense for that | 01:39 |
| uBUXUBu | maybe that will make things a lil tougher on exploits | 01:39 |
| Meris | adamu, any router that does not lock out external IP addresses after six or so password retries i not worth it's salt imho. | 01:39 |

| Meris | Andril, a Sony Vaio Pro 13 | 01:57 |
| Meris | technickul, I'm using a Sony Vaio Pro with an SSD containing Windows 8.1 and a pesky restore partition. | 01:57 |
| technickul | Meris: uefi right? | 01:58 |
| Andril | Meris, very nice what error do you have I had one when trying to install on my laptop too but someone helped a while back | 01:58 |
| technickul | Meris: I'd recommend keeping the recovery if you ever plan on going back to restore or if you think yu might sell the laptop in a couple years | 01:58 |
| Andril | hey technikul :) | 01:58 |
| technickul | Hey Andril :) | 01:59 |
| Andril | I may need you knowledge later :) | 01:59 |
| Meris | technickul, yes, I have every intention of keeping that restore partitiion, but before I resize the main partition and install Ubuntu on it, I want to have a dependable copy of that restore partition. | 01:59 |
| technickul | Is anyone familiar with kernal updates and how it adds to the grub menu? | 02:00 |
| technickul | Andril: sounds good :) | 02:00 |
| === hub is now known as Guest67926 | ||
| technickul | Meris oh you're saying you want to copy the restore partition just in case? | 02:01 |
| Meris | technickul, that's right. I don't dare to do that from within Windows 8.1 lest that restore partition has some safeguards against copying from within the Sony custom made version of Windows 8 | 02:02 |
| technickul | Meris: gotcha I guess I just made sure to not mess with the recover partition when I did my install | 02:03 |
| daftykins | Meris: there'll be Sony utilities to backup the recovery. | 02:03 |
| technickul | Meris: my install process was boot to iwindows shrink OS partition so I could add ubuntu to it. Load Ubuntu installer create swap and ext4 partition and then install ubuntu | 02:04 |
| Meris | technickul, probably, but I want to have them first, because I want to perform any restore activitities on *my* schedule, not Sony's. | 02:04 |

| Meris | technickul, how did you start the Ubuntu installer? | 02:07 |
| technickul | Meris: I booted to my flash drive which contained ubuntu | 02:07 |
| technickul | Meris: I think you mention you had uefi? | 02:07 |
| Meris | technickul, that's what I 'm trying to do. Yes, I have UEFI. | 02:07 |

| Beldar | syntax_, what does this command show lsb_release -a | 02:09 |
| Meris | technickul, no, it just won't start "Operating System Not Found" when booting from legacy mode and a simple boot screen telling me that my lappy could not find any suitable boot media when booting in UEFI mode. | 02:11 |
| syntax_ | Beldar, http://pastebin.com/cC2LT7R5 | 02:11 |

| technickul | Meris: have you checked the hash of the iso you downloaded and the hash from where ever it was downloaded to make sure they are identical? Also how did you create the usb? I use something called universal usb installer | 02:13 |
| Meris | technickul, I used the "Create Startup Disk" from Ubuntu itself to create the startup disk. I run Ubuntu 12.04 64 on my main system, | 02:14 |
| technickul | Meris: I don't have any experience with that | 02:16 |
| Beldar | Meris, this a 12.04.3 release? | 02:16 |
| Meris | technickul, mind you, I have used a SD-card, not a USB stick. that should not cause difficulties, because both the USB3 ports and the SD-Card reader are on the same bus. | 02:16 |

| Beldar | Meris, The iso is only about 700MB, and is this 12.04.3 earlier 12.04 I don't believe had all the uefi stuff needed. | 02:20 |

| Beldar | g0nz0w, Nope not supported here. | 02:22 |
| Meris | Beldar, I did not apply boot-repair to my USB device yet. Sony is known to be very fickle when it comes to specs, so that might do the trick. | 02:23 |
| Beldar | Meris, bootrepair to the usb? | 02:23 |
| Meris | Beldar, yes, if I read correctly: "You will also need Boot-Repair for several work arounds for Vendor UEFI issues and grub bugs." | 02:24 |
| Beldar | Meris, THis the gpt usb and a assumed fix with bootrepair? | 02:24 |
| Beldar | Meris, Bootrepair is for fixing installs | 02:25 |

| adamu | lol | 02:26 |
| kriskropd | how can I tell what the total size of an unpacked tar file would be? | 02:27 |
| Beldar | Meris, So have you throughly looked through the uefi wiki and that ubuntu forum link I gave you and removed the gpt table from the usb, three questions here. | 02:27 |
| Meris | Beldar, "In your BIOS, disable QuickBoot/FastBoot and Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT). If you have Windows8, also disable FastStartup." <= these options don't appear in my UEFI Setup. Probably "courtesy" of Sony... | 02:27 |
| Vedrit | Hey iceroot or usr13, either of you on? | 02:28 |
| Beldar | Meris, Have you looked at the ubuntu forums link, it is there that it becomes obvious that the manufacturers have their own versions of uefi. | 02:28 |
| Meris | Beldar, I've read the Forums link and as expressed before, Sony is quite fickle and they even admitted that their UEFI setup limits the user. | 02:29 |
| Meris | Beldar, I have removed my gpt part. table and reinstalled a MBR-type partition table. I am reading the UEFI Wiki right now. | 02:31 |
| Beldar | Meris, Sony is the Goliath you are Sampson, the monster does not clue you in on how to beat them, that is your job. My point here is that it can be done, however the method may not be exactly as described in any of this links. | 02:32 |
| Meris | Beldar, I might try setting a supervisor password as described in the Acer example, that just "might" unhide some critical options. | 02:34 |
| daftykins | Meris: i sincerely doubt it. | 02:34 |
| Beldar | Meris, Do you have full access to thew bios or is it locked? | 02:34 |
| hurley | q | 02:34 |
| Jebus | can I have the same registered nick on two different computers | 02:35 |
| Beldar | Jebus, yes | 02:35 |
| Jebus | thank you Beldar | 02:35 |
| tripelb | what is a standard simple torrent program for 12.04 -- looks like transmission doesnt go that new. | 02:36 |
| tripelb | jebus, irc doesnt care about what computer you are on. | 02:36 |
| Meris | Beldar, I see a BIOS menu, but it is stunted when compared to the Intel reference BIOS. Sony support even admits that. I demanded a full manual on their BIOS and they refused again. My statement was as follows: when I buy your hardware I expect to become the *owner* of that said hardware, including any and all information to use that hardware the way *I* see fit to do. | 02:37 |
| tripelb | jebus, but freenode does care about security and if you are on a network they deem insecure, like a mobile phone wifi, then it will make you useSASL for security. | 02:37 |
| Meris | Beldar, that was my last Sony if they keep up with this BS. | 02:37 |
| daftykins | Meris: you can always take it back. | 02:38 |
| Beldar | Meris, You looked on the web for the manual? | 02:38 |
| fixmypc956 | i created some directories and I want them to be shareable on the network. What command do I run to do that? | 02:38 |
| Meris | daftykins, I'm afraid I can't the month return period has already expired because of a repair to the fan >sic< | 02:39 |
| daftykins | Meris: can you take pictures of each page of what *is* there in the BIOS / link to pictures of the same one online? | 02:39 |
| Meris | daftykins, sure, I'll just whip out my samrtphone, just a sec... | 02:40 |
| daftykins | Meris: i worked on a Lenovo recently which needed a boot option set to 'UEFI' changed to 'Legacy' - though that one did have 'Secure Boot' and Fast boot too | 02:40 |
| daftykins | so it could be as you say, that Sony have really crippled that system for users | 02:41 |
| daftykins | ugh i'm running out of battery is the only thing | 02:41 |
| Meris | daftykins, if that would be the case, I could have bought a Windows RT instead (not that I *ever* would) | 02:41 |
| daftykins | what's the one you did get? a normal laptop? sorry i kind of came in late on this one | 02:42 |
| adamu | fixmypc956, you could setup an anonymous ftp server with vsftpd | 02:42 |

| Beldar | Meris, I will say though that your the first person I have seen on this channel with specific sony problems ever, and I am here many hours a day and for a long time, it seems statically unlikely this is a sony only problem. | 02:51 |
| Meris | daftykins, here's the 2nd page: http://www.imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=15930 | 02:52 |

| daftykins | Meris: ah good so you have secure boot off already | 02:53 |
| daftykins | Meris: so your 12.04.3 USB boot drive isn't working, is that the issue? | 02:54 |
| Meris | Beldar, I don't think this Sony specific, no. More likely Aptio AMI is at the root of these problems. | 02:54 |

| daftykins | oh i see | 02:55 |
| Meris | Beldar, that may be, but I'm using Linux since 1997 | 02:55 |
| daftykins | Meris: so the system is just ignoring it, so far? | 02:55 |
| daftykins | is that the issue? | 02:55 |
| Meris | daftykins, that's what it boils down to, yes. | 02:56 |
| Beldar | Meris, Cool, well long term use can get a person used to a norm that changes that is hard to follow or figure out. | 02:56 |
| daftykins | Meris: i'm not sure if it's a VAIO Pro 13 you have but the number looks similar - take a look at this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2183114 | 02:56 |
| daftykins | Meris: the user in the thread above disables "Intel AT support system" which was on your second BIOS page | 02:57 |
| Meris | daftykins, it is, it's exactly the same system | 02:57 |
| Beldar | Meris, Anyway hope you get this resolved. | 02:57 |
| Meris | Beldar, me too, especially since it's already 4:00 AM here and I need to rise at 8:00 AM T_T | 02:59 |
| Meris | daftykins, also with Intel AT Support System off: OPerating System not found... | 03:00 |

| Beldar | ccolbert, And get on the irc from that computer if you can, as we will need pastebins most likely. | 03:23 |
| ccolbert | I saw "UEFI" listed in some of the Q&A on the website but have no idea what that means | 03:23 |
| cfhowlett | !uefi | 03:23 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:23 |
| technickul | I just did an install on uefi | 03:24 |
| ccolbert | how do I get on IRC w/out having installed first? | 03:24 |
| Beldar | ccolbert, You can do it from a web browser | 03:25 |
| cfhowlett | ccolbert, IRC can be accessed via several internet based options ... install not required | 03:25 |
| Highest5 | Anyone here willing to help me out? | 03:27 |
| ccolbert | again, sorry for my ignorance, but if i'm in windows and able to get to a browser to chat, I can't grab the pastebins ... and if i'm in ubuntu, I haven't installed yet to get to a browser | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | !details|Highest5, | 03:27 |
| ubottu | Highest5,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | ccolbert, http://webchat.freenode.net/ | 03:28 |
| Beldar | ccolbert, Personally I wont help without exacting info from that computer, you are at best new to linux you stated as such, I wont guees and assume from your answers. | 03:29 |
| Beldar | guess* | 03:29 |
| ccolbert | yes, totally new | 03:29 |
| === fffff is now known as caffeine | ||
| ccolbert | so, i'll quit the install and tell it i just want to "try" it from the USB, then I'll go to that link for freenode and continue the convo from there? | 03:30 |
| cfhowlett | ccolbert, sounds like a plan! | 03:30 |
| Highest5 | I have a problem with installing Iron Browser. I'm running Ubuntu version 12.04 32-bit. When I try and run it, it doesn't run. I expected it to run. I checked the forums on the Iron Browser download page and there was a command for the 64-bit version that apparently made it work. | 03:30 |
| ccolbert | now I feel like a moron, that was easy enough | 03:30 |
| cfhowlett | ccolbert, sorry, but I OWN moron based on my initial ubuntu/windows installation debacles | 03:31 |
| Beldar | Highest5, 3rd party not supported nor does it run in ubuntu anymore. | 03:31 |
| Highest5 | Is that a new thing? | 03:31 |
| Beldar | on a good day I'm not a moron | 03:32 |
| Beldar | Highest5, Is what a new thing, use nicks here too. | 03:32 |
| ccolbert_ | ... and we're back | 03:32 |
| ccolbert | exit | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | Highest5, best to get support from IB directly | 03:33 |
| ccolbert_ | so, what do I need to type and paste? | 03:33 |
| Highest5 | Beldar, thanks. I'll see what I can find. | 03:33 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_ sudo fdisk -l | 03:33 |
| Beldar | !pastebin | ccolbert_ | 03:34 |

| macs | does ubuntu have a built in javascript engine? | 03:36 |
| ccolbert_ | ok, getting there ... how do I copy the results to be able to paste them for you? | 03:36 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, http://imagebin.org/?page=add also look for bot prompts I sent you one on this. | 03:37 |
| ccolbert_ | !pastebinit | 03:37 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 03:37 |
| ccolbert_ | i pulled up that page, but how do i paste the terminal output into it? | 03:38 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, Sory wrong paste imagebin | 03:38 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, http://paste.ubuntu.com | 03:38 |
| macs | does ubuntu have a built in javascript engine? | 03:39 |
| Beldar | !java | macs | 03:40 |
| ubottu | macs: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 03:40 |
| macs | Beldar: ... "javascript" | 03:40 |
| adamu | macs, it comes with firefox if that is what you mean | 03:40 |
| macs | adamu: ok i guess that does it then | 03:40 |
| macs | adamu: thanks | 03:40 |
| Beldar | macs, I was going to send you a patience prompt, but I hoped yo0u could figure it out. | 03:41 |
| adamu | macs, it is called SpiderMonkey | 03:41 |
| ccolbert_ | http://imagebin.org/281272 | 03:41 |
| adamu | macs, (the engine used by firefox) | 03:41 |
| ccolbert_ | beldar, you get that screenshot? | 03:41 |
| macs | adamu: thanks. I don't think I have a specific need for that right now but i was just curious | 03:42 |
| adamu | macs, okay | 03:42 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, yes, generally we want the data in a pastebin not the picture, however it looks like you have just 3 primary partitions, I'm surprised you had no install alongside button working. This a W7 manufacturers install? | 03:43 |
| adamu | macs, if you want to know how it works this is a good reference https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/Internals | 03:44 |
| MissValeska | I need help with an ethernet issue, eth0 is not detected by ifconfig, And is not even shown by the network manager. | 03:44 |
| MissValeska | ifconfig -a does not work either | 03:44 |

| Tyrantelf | MissValeska: your ethernet card driver isn't installed | 03:44 |
| macs | adamu: thanks | 03:45 |
| MissValeska | okay, How do I fix that then? | 03:45 |
| MissValeska | I tried installing them | 03:45 |
| ccolbert_ | and i'd be happy to provide just the data but couldn't figure out how to 'copy' | 03:45 |
| Tyrantelf | what happened? | 03:45 |
| Tyrantelf | when you tried to install them | 03:45 |
| MissValeska | I downloaded the realtek drivers, And I installed them, and eth0 appeared | 03:46 |
| MissValeska | And then I restarted | 03:46 |
| MissValeska | And it went away | 03:46 |
| MissValeska | I installed the realtek driver package after that from the sources | 03:46 |
| MissValeska | And it didn't change anything | 03:46 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, A single HD can only have 4 primary partitions or 3 which you have and a extended partition to contain logical partitions, ubuntu generally installs two partitions the OS and a swap, so that maybe why you got no alongside. I would suggest you use the W7 disk manager to resize the C to make a unallocated space for the ubuntu install, reboot windows then so it run s the auto chkdsk the n boot to | 03:47 |
| Beldar | the ubuntu live and we can get you installed. | 03:47 |
| Demios171 | I got real problem with installing wifi on Ubuntu 13.04? | 03:47 |
| Beldar | Demios171, Can you identify the wifi hardware by running lspci in a terminal? | 03:48 |
| ccolbert_ | great, i'll give it a shot! as an alternative, it looks like I could simply run ubuntu from the USB stick whenever I want to and never even bother with an install? | 03:48 |
| fixmypc956 | how do I change share permission on a directory | 03:48 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, The live works yes, however without a persistent it will not save what you do, and a persistent usb has limitations. | 03:49 |
| ccolbert_ | beldar, real quick, so when i go back to W7, am I asking it to remove one of my 3 existing partitions? | 03:50 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, You might try it out from the usb though to be sure you want an install. | 03:50 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, No removal just a resize to leave an unallocated space. | 03:51 |
| ccolbert_ | beldar, perhaps you can help with that ... i'm doing this b/c I've just installed it as the *sole* OS on another home laptop and figured it would be better/esaier to communicate with that from here if I have the same OS here as well ... is my logic flawed? | 03:51 |
| adamu | well I have to go cya :) | 03:51 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, Communicate from one computer to another? | 03:52 |
| ccolbert_ | access files | 03:52 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, ubuntu and windows can talk to each other from separate computers, or to the same OS. | 03:53 |
| ccolbert_ | i'm thinking of making the other PC (call it PC1) a laptop for the kids and this one (call it PC2) a glorified backup PC and backup harddrive | 03:53 |
| ccolbert_ | our external harddrive just died so I'm uber sensitive at the moment to have some redundancy in place | 03:54 |
| ccolbert_ | but you're saing I can keep PC2 windows-based since it's already installed and working properly even if PC1 is Ubuntu-only and I shouldn't have any communication/sharing issues? | 03:55 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, You want backup for sure, depending on what it is backed up it is likely you can save the ubuntu stuff on pc1 to windows pc2 | 03:55 |
| ccolbert_ | though perhaps PC1 (this slow POS) may run smoother if I were using Ubuntu in lieu of Windows ...... | 03:55 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, So pc1 is windows pc2 is ubuntu? | 03:56 |
| ccolbert_ | sure, let's go with that | 03:56 |
| cfhowlett | Beldar, how much storage capacity do you need? I save my data files in ubuntu one : 5 gigs free. Also another 12 in dropbox for work and I'm set... | 03:56 |
| Beldar | yeah a cloud might be workable | 03:57 |
| ccolbert_ | the names aren't as important as it is that I *only* have Ubuntu on 1 of them due to a major HD crash where the home-office mandated encryption left me OS-less | 03:57 |
| ccolbert_ | rather than running out to buy Windows (since HP doesn't seem to provide the OS on disk when you purchase a computer with it pre-installed anymore) | 03:58 |

| ccolbert_ | figured it's a great opportunity to learn the OS that's running the world (seriously ... NASA uses linux boxes to launch the shuttle ...... oh, poor shuttle) | 03:59 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, Most manufacturers will let you but the oem reinstall discs, so just saying. | 04:00 |
| cfhowlett | ccolbert_, another thing to consider: lubuntu is optimized for older/slower machines. xubuntu works pretty well too. you might find better performance than the latest ubuntu gives you. | 04:00 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, And you can image any OS, but learning linux is a good idea and using it in general. | 04:00 |
| Vyse007 | well linux boxes are used where performance and efficiency are demanded, so that's not surprising... | 04:00 |
| ccolbert_ | i assume you meant "buy" ... but I'm cheap and don't want to pay $35+ for an OS that was preinstalled on a $1K+ computer ... it's the principal of the matter | 04:01 |
| ccolbert_ | as far as imaging the OS, i'd have no idea how to do that | 04:01 |
| Beldar | ccolbert_, I have principals but apply them to tangibles/ | 04:01 |
| ccolbert_ | though I could probably google-search it in the same amount of time it took me to become reaquainted (sp?) with IRC ;) | 04:02 |

| Genesis_ | Wondering how to upgrade from wubi to a full out ubuntu install | 04:02 |
| ccolbert_ | i'm pretty sure i was doing IRC nearly 2 decades ago ... and it doesn't look to have changed a bit | 04:03 |
| buu | ccolbert_: We try not to! | 04:03 |
| tonyt | on the irc server has changed :) | 04:03 |
| tonyt | freenode didnt exist 20 years ago | 04:03 |
| Beldar | Genesis_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi then upgrade the OS if that is what you mean. | 04:03 |
| Vyse007 | Genesis_, you mean porting the wubi install to a full install? | 04:03 |
| ccolbert_ | anyway, i'll leave you guys to what you do best ... thanks for everything, and I'll surely be back if I run into any further snags | 04:03 |

| === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon | ||

| Vyse007 | joe__: Could be a bunch of reasons. For starters, is the ISO file error-free? Do a md5 check to make sure. Also, try using the USB stick on some other machine. That will make sure where the fault lies. | 04:30 |

| ubottu | Joe_B: Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information.

| * cfhowlett thinks everytime someone mentions "wubi" an angel gets the chills. | 04:59 | |
| usr13 | Vyse007: Yes, it works like a charm. I did one not long ago on an old laptop that would not boot USB and had no CDROM drive. I booted into the PXE server from a slackware DVD on another laptop but after it booted, I installed from the USB stick anyway, (booted over the network but installed the actual OS from the USB). Pretty easy. | 04:59 |
| Vyse007 | usr13: Oh yes its a charm. Arch has that functionality too I think... | 05:00 |
| lotuspsychje | cfhowlett: well if other tools fail.. | 05:00 |

| Gandalf__ | Lenovo H535, Richlands APU | 05:20 |
| Vyse007 | Nehal: There seems to be some problem however, and the live image loads the radeon module. | 05:21 |
| Nehal | Vyse007: fglrx is the proprietary driver by AMD? | 05:21 |
| tonyt | yes | 05:22 |
| Nehal | Vyse007: interestingly, I tried Linux Mint and got the exact same error in my logs. Possibly a bug in the radeon module? | 05:22 |
| Vyse007 | Nehal: Yes, it is. It is possible that these newer live images have made it a default for AMD cards, but I doubt that. | 05:23 |

| Vyse007 | Nehal: aaaaahhhhh, that explains a lot. A hybrid system is always a pain to get workign | 05:37 |

| Nehal | Vyse007: put it this way, without the AMD graphics card, my computer would be unuseable :) | 05:41 |
| Nehal | Gandalf__: Trust me, it's MUCH easier that way. Then I just press the special shortcut when my BIOS shows to show the boot menu, and select the second hard drive..... just removes so much pain... and potentially safer too... | 05:43 |
| Vyse007 | Nehal: You could mount the live system, install the drivers, then boot it and install. But that would require a good sense of the command line... | 05:43 |
| jay-o | Thank you, buu. I tried download procps-3.2.8.tar.gz and I wanted to install manual operation. | 05:43 |

| impradeepy | jay-o:no config file than i think it wont install i am sorry after compiling we cannot move forward may be due to corrupted tarball file | 06:23 |
| impradeepy | azzid:show me the output of apt-cache show bcmwl-kernel-source | 06:24 |

| stevildead | Beldar: im not trying to put the os on a mac | 06:25 |
| impradeepy | azzid:sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source | 06:26 |
| Beldar | azzid, Take a look at these threads the first has mention of a bug. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=AR9462 | 06:26 |
| Beldar | stevildead, But you are trying to load the usb on a mac right? | 06:27 |
| Beldar | stevildead, Or you tried. | 06:27 |
| === markthomas_away is now known as markthomas | ||
| azzid | Beldar: I've looking around, and for most of those folks wifi works, bad, but it works. In my situation iwconfig returns no wireless extension, no wlan0 at all | 06:27 |
| stevildead | Beldar: im trying to install ubuntu 12 from usb on a dell mini | 06:27 |
| Beldar | stevildead, On what OS did you load the usb with? | 06:28 |
| azzid | impradeepy: i'm upgrading right now, when it finsish I'll purge it | 06:28 |
| cfhowlett | stevildead, try lubuntu instead - optimized for lower spec machines | 06:28 |
| impradeepy | azzid:after removing 6.20.155.1+bdcom do one reboot if still no wifi then install its previous version then you should able to see working wireless because there is a bug in latest 6.20.155.1+bdcom | 06:29 |
| stevildead | Beldar: i downloaded the os with a mac book and put in on the usb from there | 06:29 |
| azzid | impradeepy: i dont get it, why bcom? my card is AR9462 | 06:30 |
| Beldar | stevildead, Then read the link I gave you, it is not for installing on a mac, but making the usb on a mac. | 06:30 |
| impradeepy | azzid:problem is you have two chipset broadcom and atheros so u need to blacklist one | 06:30 |
| impradeepy | azzid:thats why i told you to purge bcmwl that contains broadcom source packages | 06:31 |
| Beldar | stevildead, My question was have you seen the link anyway, loading a usb on a mac is a specialized procedure. | 06:31 |
| azzid | impradeepy: thanks, I'll try when upgrade finishes | 06:31 |
| impradeepy | azzid:ok good luck | 06:32 |
| stevildead | Beldar: i looked at it, im assuming it has to do w the file type ie .img | 06:32 |
| noemie | how can i mount the usb drive that now shows up as format type lvm2 | 06:33 |
| noemie | how do I mount /dev/sdc1 63 3907024064 1953512001 8e Linux LVM | 06:36 |

| jay-o | impradeepy: does my tarball sound wrong? | 06:39 |
| impradeepy | jay-o:yes | 06:39 |
| miketomdool | noemie I have no idea if this will work but try: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media (i have never used the LVM filesystem before so I wouldn't know if it would work) | 06:39 |
| impradeepy | jay:o:because it did not have a config file | 06:40 |
| impradeepy | jay-o:so after compiling we cannot able to configure and then install | 06:40 |
| jay-o | OK.I'll retry download. | 06:40 |

| noemie | Jordan_U, i wiped out 12.04 early this morning because / was too small after 1.5 years, so I reinstalled, but not lvm, just raid | 06:48 |

| noemie | no | 06:50 |
| noemie | it was just a backup drive | 06:50 |
| noemie | it was only mounted manually with mount /bkup | 06:50 |
| noemie | its odd because I destroyed 12.04 and reinstalled 12.04 | 06:51 |
| noemie | but when I installed, i did not have the drive plugged in for safety resaons | 06:51 |

| Blunder-fuss | Good Morning - I'm having dramas dual booting my Mac mini. I've already dual booted with Windows 7 but i'm trying to add Ubuntu. I created a 50gb NTFS partition (I'm just testing the install at this stage) and for some reason the installation doesn't see the seperate partitions. | 07:02 |
| guest-iofb1r | nihao | 07:03 |
| Blunder-fuss | Any clues? | 07:04 |
| impradeepy | blunder-fues: use ext4 file sytem for ubuntu not ntfs | 07:04 |
| Blunder-fuss | True - but shouldn't I be able to modify the partitions in the installer? | 07:04 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| impradeepy | blunder-fuess:yes,u can select something else during installation there you will find | 07:05 |
| Blunder-fuss | Yes, but it wouldn't every recognize the seperate partitions | 07:06 |
| forehand | this the place for noob questions? | 07:06 |
| Blunder-fuss | just saw hdd\a | 07:07 |
| Jordan_U | makara: What is the exact command you ran that gave an error, and what was that exact error message? (use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com for mroe than one line of output). | 07:07 |
| impradeepy | blunder-fuss:shoe me the snaps so that i can see your actual problem | 07:07 |
| makara | Jordan_U, its very simple actually. I just clicked 'Upgrade' at step 3 of http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade | 07:08 |
| boggle | Issue with key-mapping on new keyboard. Any advice would be greatly appreciated: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QUT0hXG1 | 07:08 |
| makara | Jordan_U, and I get 'failed to fetch' error message | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: What do you mean by "the installation doesn't see the separate partitions"? Are you talking about the Ubuntu installer? | 07:08 |
| Blunder-fuss | @Jordan_U yes | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | makara: Please pastebin the exact text of the error, or post a screenshot of it. | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | !screenshot | Blunder-fuss | 07:08 |
| ubottu | Blunder-fuss: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 07:08 |
| makara | Jordan_U, when I invoke the GUI updater from the cli, it puffs out the error message I posted on askubuntu | 07:08 |
| Blunder-fuss | I can't take screencaps, i'm on another machine | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". | 07:08 |
| makara | Jordan_U, http://askubuntu.com/questions/388162/warningrootfile-saucy-tar-gz-gpg-missing-on-distribution-upgrade | 07:09 |
| Jordan_U | makara: You shouldn't be running "sudo update-manager -d", you should just be running "update-manager" (as your own user, not root). | 07:09 |
| Blunder-fuss | The installation on sees the HDD as a whole, not the seperate partitions | 07:09 |
| forehand | I'm trying to set up an ubuntu box as a router but running into trouble. | 07:10 |

| azzid | impradeepy: I finished upgrading, rebooted no wifi. purged bcmwl (it was not installed), rebooted: no wifi. installed latest bcmwl, rebooted no wifi either. | 07:10 |
| aeon-ltd | keplr: can't confirm, but i think vlc might | 07:10 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: I expect that "sudo parted -l" will print an error because you have an invalid partition table, so please run that command and try to relay what that error message is. | 07:10 |
| Blunder-fuss | Jordan_U: Ok i'll try | 07:11 |
| impradeepy | azzid:why did you install the latest bcmwl? i told you to uninstall it and install the previous version because there is bug in the latest you have atheros so you dont need broadcom | 07:12 |
| Blunder-fuss | Damn Windows 7 for screwing up my part table | 07:12 |
| impradeepy | its not win7 fault mate< | 07:12 |
| azzid | impradeepy: my bad, how do i install previous? | 07:12 |
| keplr | Thanks aeon-ltd, VLC worked. | 07:13 |
| forehand | is there a networking channel I should hit up? | 07:13 |
| makara | Jordan_U, don't quite understand why a dist-upgrade shouldn't be done as root, but anyway it still gives the same error | 07:13 |
| Blunder-fuss | Sure it is - I used the inbuilt Disk Management, so I suspect that buggered it | 07:13 |
| miketomdool | makara can you go into ubuntu software manager->edit->software sources and tell me what it says in "download from: " | 07:14 |
| impradeepy | azzid:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros | 07:14 |
| makara | miketomdool, it used to be ftp from a south african server. I've changed it to main server. | 07:14 |
| Jordan_U | makara: You shouldn't run GUI apps using sudo. *If* you need to run a GUI app as root you should use gksudo, but in the case of update-manager it escalates its priveleges using policykit so it doesn't need to be run as root at all. | 07:14 |

| linuxlite1969 | help | 07:16 |
| forehand | help | 07:16 |
| Blunder-fuss | How do I bring up the console? | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | impradeepy: Most partition tables that parted considers invalid, like those with overlapping partitions, should not be possible to create with a properly written partitioning program. We don't know if that's the case here, but it is possible to legitimately blame the tool for this type of problem. | 07:17 |
| aeon-ltd | forehand: ask, in the future don't ask to asl | 07:17 |
| aeon-ltd | *ask | 07:17 |
| forehand | asl? | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | makara: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update". | 07:18 |
| aeon-ltd | forehand: ask | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: Select the "Try Ubuntu" option, then search for "terminal" in Unity. | 07:19 |
| impradeepy | jordan_u:agreed,but its simple to do partitions using disk management just shrink the volume and leave it as unallocated so that during installation of ubuntu we can easily create partitions :) | 07:19 |
| Blunder-fuss | Thanks Jordan_U | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: You're welcome. | 07:20 |
| Blunder-fuss | Ok, Jordan_U: because I'm loaded from the USB it's only showing the USB drive when I do sudo parted -l | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: That is not supposed to happen. What kind of drive is this and how is it connected to the computer? | 07:22 |
| Blunder-fuss | Jordan_U: when I do sudo parted -l it also says "Error: Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted's rescue feature to recover partitions." | 07:22 |
| impradeepy | format it | 07:23 |

| savagejen | I am on 13.04 and pptp is broken. Anyone know if it's fixed on 13.10. I don't want to upgrade unless I need to? | 07:23 |
| impradeepy | blunder-fuss:will suggest you to repair it using win7 or format it and then fresh install of ubuntu | 07:24 |
| theadmin | savagejen: I suggest you use 12.04 if you don't want to update often. 13.04 doesn't have long support, infact, it's almost over. | 07:24 |
| theadmin | savagejen: PPTP is working on 12.04, I have to point out. | 07:24 |
| savagejen | I can't exactly go back, can I? | 07:24 |
| Blunder-fuss | impradeepy: This isn't an option, I don't want to lose the Mac OSX partition | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: That's definitely not a good thing. If you can still access your data from Windows, and you don't already have good backups of all important files (as you always should), I recommend you do so now. This is most likely fixable, but the fact that it happened in the first place suggests that you may have a failing drive or other serious problem. | 07:26 |
| noemie | any help to get usb drive mount is greatly appreciated. | 07:26 |
| theadmin | savagejen: Downgrade is impossible, but a reinstall is. If you install over an existing Ubuntu installation, without formatting, it will save settings, user data, and even attempt to reinstall apps you had. | 07:26 |
| linea | Anyone i want to extract size and status from this type log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6544588/ | 07:26 |
| impradeepy | blunder-fuss:yes i am afraid, but i think there is no other options left for you as your drive is corrupted | 07:27 |
| savagejen | theadmin, that's not the point | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | theadmin: I wasn't aware of the trying to re-install apps part, do you have a source for that? | 07:27 |
| savagejen | I shouldn't have to downgrade | 07:27 |
| === KindOne- is now known as KindOne | ||
| jay-o | impradeepy: I am done.(http://paste.ubuntu.com/6544577/) it is too hard for end users to solve. :-) | 07:27 |
| savagejen | Yeah, pptp is old and broken, but people still use it, which means releasing broken packages is ridiculous | 07:27 |
| theadmin | Jordan_U: Source? Trying to install 12.04 over a 13.10 installation, it said "Restoring packages..." or something and after the install I suddenly had all apps I had before | 07:27 |
| Blunder-fuss | Jordan_U: I've got all the important files backed up so thats not a problem. I'm just not sure how well I can get OSX re-installed on the machine. Is it possible to repair this? | 07:28 |
| theadmin | savagejen: I have to say, PPTP has worked for me on 13.04 as well, so this is odd | 07:28 |
| savagejen | there's an open bug on launchpad | 07:28 |
| savagejen | I'm not the only person with the issue. | 07:28 |
| * savagejen is updating to 13.10 and crossing her fingers. | 07:29 | |
| theadmin | Hm, must be new or something. savagejen, if the bug is marked fixed for 13.10 then the issue isn't present. Anyway, you should upgrade regardless, 13.04 is EOL in a month or so | 07:29 |
| savagejen | theadmin, not fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1175897 | 07:29 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1175897 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "PPTP VPN Service failed to start after upgrade to 13.04" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: It is probably possible to repair, though repairing it may break booting of Windows, OSX, or both. | 07:29 |
| Guest27618 | Just a recommendation anyone who has installed Ubuntu 13.10, should upgrade there Kernel to 3.12 to avoid chronic Kernel Panics | 07:30 |
| Blunder-fuss | Jordan_U: repair via Ubuntu? | 07:30 |
| theadmin | savagejen: Hm. If the bug is in Network Manager, try using pptpsetup to configure your connection, pon to connect and poff to disconnect. | 07:30 |

| Blunder-fuss | Jordan_U: Ok, i'll give it a shot | 07:37 |
| Jordan_U | Blunder-fuss: It should also give you an error message (possibly a more helpful one), and then it should give you prompt to do more actions, you can just enter 'q' at any time to quit. | 07:37 |

| limace255 | hi all, I try to set an usb-key with auto-installation of an ubuntu-server.iso, using kickstart, instead of preseed; don't knw why, but it doesn't seem to be as easy as I hope... | 08:00 |

| JordanJ2 | Does Unity "lag" | 08:51 |
| JordanJ2 | Err | 08:51 |
| JordanJ2 | Does unity lag for anyone? Orbis it based on computer specs? | 08:52 |
| JordanJ2 | Or* | 08:52 |
| theadmin | JordanJ2: Lag? It does, sometimes, indeed. That's sadly due to the fact that all of its' "pretiness" highly relies on 3D acceleration of the GPU | 08:52 |
| v0latil3 | i cant install steam | 08:52 |
| v0latil3 | connection to repo.steampowered.com times out | 08:53 |
| theadmin | JordanJ2: It works fine here, but it's a huge pain on older systems. I suggest trying Xfce instead, or even KDE if your system is fine but the graphics card is old | 08:53 |
| JordanJ2 | !details | V01Px3 | 08:53 |
| ubottu | V01Px3: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 08:53 |
| DJones | JordanJ2: It will probably depend on the computer specs, I don't have problems on an i3 with 4Gb ram & intel graphics, but older processors/graphics cards could have issues | 08:53 |
| DJones | !requirements | JordanJ2 | 08:53 |
| ubottu | JordanJ2: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 08:53 |
| theadmin | v0latil3: That's a problem of VALVe, it's down indeed. | 08:53 |
| JordanJ2 | Anyway I can decrease that lag? | 08:54 |

| v0latil3 | theadmin, if i install the deb from store.steampowered.com, wiill it be able to be updated from apt if it comes back online? | 08:54 |

| v0latil3 | wow i cant download the deb either | 08:55 |
| v0latil3 | :( | 08:55 |
| theadmin | JordanJ2: It's highly GPU-dependent. If you have an nVidia/GPU graphics card, try going to settings -> additional drivers (or settings -> software & updates -> additional drivers) and activate the proprietary ones for your card. | 08:55 |
| JordanJ2 | So unity would run a bit more smooth | 08:55 |
| theadmin | err | 08:55 |
| theadmin | JordanJ2: NVidia/AMD graphics card, meant to say. | 08:55 |
| JordanJ2 | Wow my timing is way off tonight | 08:56 |
| JordanJ2 | theadmin: How will it tun on INTEL? | 08:56 |
| JordanJ2 | !unity | 08:56 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 08:56 |
| JordanJ2 | !nounity | 08:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 08:57 |

| purvesh0147 | what are the pros of ubuntu over other distros?? | 08:59 |
| theadmin | krz: "pm-hibernate" is the command. | 08:59 |
| DJones | JordanJ2: If you're concerned about lag, you could also try Lubuntu or Xubuntu which are both Ubuntu releases, but with a different and lighter desktop which should run quicker | 08:59 |
| DJones | !lubuntu | JordanJ2 | 08:59 |
| ubottu | JordanJ2: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 08:59 |
| DJones | !xubuntu | JordanJ2 | 08:59 |
| ubottu | JordanJ2: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 08:59 |

| krz | theadmin: is ubuntu using systemctl though? | 09:01 |
| theadmin | krz: No, Ubuntu uses Upstart, not systemd | 09:01 |
| DJones | JordanJ2: What you can do is download the iso, put it on a USB stick and boot up with that in the "Try Ubuntu" mode rather than install, that'll give you a bit of an idea, obviously, that would be slower than a full install, but might help | 09:02 |

| ActionParsnip | C4709: install a theme like you would normally, then use the guide I just linked toname the theme | 10:34 |
| C4709 | ActionParsnip: I m currently using windows 8 there are many themes already present by default now how to tell xserver(windows version) to tell which theme to use ? | 10:38 |
| DF3D2 | what the hell is wrong with xfce4-volume d, it stops showing the on screen display till i reboot -- killing the process + restarting does nothing | 10:39 |
| gordonjcp | DF3D2: XFCE is notoriously buggy | 10:40 |
| gordonjcp | DF3D2: you should use Unity | 10:40 |
| DF3D2 | gordonjcp, i don't like unity :-\ | 10:40 |
| DF3D2 | and that is my only issue with xfce so far | 10:40 |
| xintron | If I install build-essential and then want to remove everything (including everything that was installed), how would I do that? remove/purge build-essential + autoremove keeps a LOT of stuff | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: you can use Unity in XFCE | 10:40 |
| DF3D2 | its when i switch my audio output device to hdmi | 10:41 |
| DF3D2 | xfce4-volumed takes a shit or osmething | 10:41 |
| DF3D2 | something | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | C4709: install a theme, then set it as in the link I gave, see how this page says "raleigh" that is the theme being used: http://superuser.com/questions/69174/x11-looks-ugly-while-opening-a-remote-window-from-ssh-can-i-use-gtk-themes | 10:42 |
| DF3D2 | what is good besides xfce ? | 10:43 |
| DF3D2 | I used to use, i3 wm but wanted a break from it | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: LXDE | 10:44 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, lubuntu ? | 10:44 |
| DF3D2 | never used it, ill give it a try | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: no, LXDE | 10:44 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, isn't that what is used in lubuntu ? | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: just install lxde using your favourite package manager, log off and log in to the new LXDE session | 10:45 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, oh i'm installing lubuntu-desktop at the momen | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: yes it is the default DE in Lubuntu, with Openbox as the default WM | 10:45 |
| fishcooker | i've update the new kernel without notice to Linux 3.8.0-34-generic #49~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 13 18:08:04 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.. as far as i know 3.2.x... how to switch back to original kernel 3.2x | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: installing the lubuntu metapackage will install a lot of other packages, like leafpad, audacious, osmo and so forth when all you want is the desktop environment | 10:46 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, im not limited on disk space so it's fine :-D | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | fishcooker: reboot, hold SHIFT and you can select the older kernel | 10:46 |
| DF3D2 | brb gonna reboot in to lubuntu check it out | 10:46 |
| Sherrif | Hello | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: oh absolutely, but its just a bit of a waste imho | 10:46 |
| fishcooker | where is it on grub config?.. i want to check first from the grub config, ActionParsnip | 10:48 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, hmm the session manager isn't showing | 10:49 |
| DF3D2 | odd | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: log off, then log in to the new session. You dont need to reboot | 10:49 |
| DF3D2 | it's not showing the light login manager | 10:49 |
| DF3D2 | or whatever they call it | 10:49 |
| DF3D2 | only the xfce enter your p/w screen | 10:50 |

| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: thanks | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: which display manager do you use? Lightdm? | 10:51 |
| DF3D2 | no idea im on xubuntu | 10:52 |
| DF3D2 | but the screen thatr lets me pick sessions isn't showing when i log out | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: ok, look in /usr/share/xsessions | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: you should see one for LXDE or similar, if you open one with a text editor is it set to be hidden? | 10:53 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, yep lots of .desktop files | 10:53 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, Lubuntu.desktop says nothing about hidden | 10:53 |
| Hassen | hello all, whatever, whenever, and wherever you are. | 10:53 |

| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: its to accommodate other languages.... | 10:55 |
| DF3D2 | ok | 10:55 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, i think we have a mis communication though, What I am saying is the LOGIN MANAGER, whatever lets me select sessions doesn't show up at all anymore, it's now just an xubuntu login asking for my username/pw | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: try changing Type=Application to Type=XSession | 10:56 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, okay done, log out ? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: yes | 10:58 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, nah same screen, lets me log in to xubuntu only | 10:59 |

| manas | ActionParsnip, Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 11:05 |
| [Gentoo] | guest|98313: what music player do you use | 11:05 |
| DF3D2 | maybe I could just reinstall the session manager, what is it called ? | 11:05 |
| [Gentoo] | maybe it scans for all music files | 11:05 |
| guest|98313 | which music player does that | 11:05 |
| [Gentoo] | i dont know | 11:05 |
| philinux | ActionParsnip;~ remember the hard drive temp thing I had a few days ago | 11:05 |
| manas | speaking of music, Rhythmbox doesnt work with mp3s | 11:05 |
| manas | i haven't tried Guayadeque yet though | 11:06 |

| ActionParsnip | philinux: what was the issue? | 11:06 |
| [Gentoo] | guest|98313: you could | 11:07 |
| [Gentoo] | but itd be a pita | 11:07 |
| guest|98313 | how? | 11:07 |
| guest|98313 | what firewall program? | 11:07 |
| [Gentoo] | it must be in the options of whatever player you're using | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | [Gentoo]: im sure users in 2013 like pretty GUIs ;) | 11:07 |
| DF3D2 | oh light display manafer | 11:07 |
| [Gentoo] | as file managers dont do this | 11:07 |
| DF3D2 | light display manager | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | guest|98313: what media player are you using? | 11:07 |
| philinux | ActionParsnip;~ you know that hddtemp needed sudo access well a solution came using udisks without needing sudo | 11:07 |
| [Gentoo] | ActionParsnip: yeah i guess, but i think the cli can be pretty with nice .Xresources in a minimal way | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | philinux: yes | 11:08 |
| philinux | ActionParsnip;~ this is the conky line ${execi 60 udisks --show-info /dev/sda | grep temp | cut -c 52-54} | 11:08 |
| manas | Gentoo: i think i have to learn ... a lot ... to do that | 11:08 |
| philinux | ActionParsnip;~ no sudo needed | 11:08 |
| [Gentoo] | manas: i use ncmpcpp which takes a little bit of config with mpd, but cmus works out the box | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | philinux: ok cool | 11:08 |
| DF3D2 | [Gentoo], mpd + ncmpcpp is godlike | 11:08 |
| [Gentoo] | manas: if you like tinkering you could try it and you never know you might really like it | 11:09 |
| [Gentoo] | DF3D2: yes | 11:09 |
| [Gentoo] | it is | 11:09 |
| DF3D2 | b een using it for years | 11:09 |
| philinux | ActionParsnip;~ why udisks dont need sudo but hddtemp does is a mysterr | 11:09 |
| DF3D2 | anyway ActionParsnip any guidance man? | 11:09 |
| manas | Gentoo: I am tryingthx | 11:09 |
| guest|98313 | what are the main musioc players | 11:09 |

| manas | Gentoo, that is pretty cool i must admit. | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: not seeig anything spectacularly weird. I can give you a file of mine if you want | 11:10 |
| philinux | ActionParsnip;~ no , I decided to use udisks instead | 11:10 |
| guest|98313 | does gnome or vlc do this | 11:10 |
| [Gentoo] | manas: theres a cli program for almost anything | 11:10 |

| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, realizing it was showing a session manager all along, i was just blind and not seeing the button to change the session | 11:24 |
| DF3D2 | >.< | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: d'oh | 11:24 |
| DF3D2 | yep | 11:24 |
| DF3D2 | and lxe is very snappy | 11:24 |
| DF3D2 | kind of ugly, but i'm sure i can theme it | 11:25 |
| DF3D2 | lxde* | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: `well, welcome to light and airy LXDE, where crashes are few and resources used are low :) | 11:25 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, yeah it uses like 500 less ram than xfce and that is with firefox/xchat open | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: of loads, i have a PPA enabled to make it look like the defalt ambiance theme in Gnome :) | 11:25 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, do you know of any good on screen display programs for volume control? | 11:25 |

| DF3D2 | wow on my i5 laptop lxde is way snappier than xubuntu | 11:32 |
| DF3D2 | kind of nuts, it's like night and day -- and xfce wasn't slow to begin with | 11:32 |
| [Gentoo] | its a bit lighter | 11:32 |
| gyre008 | www.keepalived.org ? | 11:33 |
| DF3D2 | it feels "alot" lighter | 11:33 |
| DF3D2 | lol | 11:33 |
| gyre008 | I wonder if my ISP is blocking it :-) | 11:33 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, what theme is that!? | 11:33 |
| [Gentoo] | on a modern machine you wont notice anything faster than lxde etc | 11:33 |
| DF3D2 | so nice looking | 11:33 |
| DJones | gyre008: Yes http://www.keepalived.org/ | 11:33 |
| [Gentoo] | DF3D2: xfce with no comp should still be snappy | 11:33 |
| gyre008 | yeah timing out for me....crazy | 11:33 |
| DF3D2 | [Gentoo], I used to use i3wm but i'm taking a break | 11:33 |
| [Gentoo] | yeah thats what i use | 11:33 |
| DF3D2 | I wanted a more conventional desktop for a bit | 11:34 |
| [Gentoo] | yeah | 11:34 |

| DF3D2 | with firefox/chat | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: exactly | 11:34 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, xubuntu was about 800-1100 | 11:35 |
| DF3D2 | seems i won't need a second ram chip afterall 4gb should be plenty | 11:35 |
| DF3D2 | ActionParsnip, what theme are you using tho, i want it | 11:35 |
| [Gentoo] | 4gb will do anything | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | DF3D2: Linux is light, reuses libs in RAM and on the HDD too | 11:35 |
| [Gentoo] | unless you use vms | 11:35 |
| [Gentoo] | or zfs | 11:35 |
| gyre008 | yup guys | 11:35 |
| DF3D2 | yea im so happy with this laptop | 11:35 |
| gyre008 | works on my phone :-) | 11:35 |

| gyre008 | w0000t ?! | 11:36 |
| [Gentoo] | gyre008: proxy? | 11:36 |
| DJones | gyre008: Maybe try using a proxy like hidemyass.com just to see if its your ISP or just a routing problem, I'd give you the direct link I've just tried but as it gives an encrypted link it could be to any dodgy site so I'd rather you went direct | 11:36 |
| gyre008 | DJones: yep...works fine :-) | 11:37 |
| DJones | gyre008: Could be a dns/routing problem rather than deliberate blocking by the isp | 11:37 |
| gyre008 | could be | 11:38 |

| jrib | bibi346: usually one speaks of "resident memory" and "shared memory". Some of each can be in physical RAM but it can also be in swap for example | 12:38 |
| jrib | bibi346: afaik | 12:39 |
| Luthfi | #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:39 |
| jrib | bibi346: maybe resident also implies it's in physical ram, not sure | 12:39 |

| kasper | ok so thats good news.. headphones work now, but speakers dont | 12:42 |
| kasper | (my headphones are a gamecom plantronics 780) | 12:42 |
| kasper | terrible linux support for it. | 12:42 |
| bibi346 | jrib: ok, so basically "RAM" implies "shared memory" but not the opposite, "shared memory" can be something else than "RAM", for example as you said swap? | 12:42 |

| evon | I recovered a HD using DDRescue and it created an image file "data2.img" the drive was NTFS with 2 partitions. The reason I had to recover it was because one of the partitions got lost and my computer has not been able to mount at all. How do I mount this image so I can access the files? i've tried mount and ntfs-3g to no avail | 14:28 |

| Rory | ankles: evon I've had to do this in the past so if you have any specific problems with those instructions let me know | 14:32 |
| Rory | ankles: sorry hilighted by mistake | 14:32 |
| evon | Rory thanks. I'm about to try it now. I will let you know the results | 14:33 |
| deroy | http://i.imgur.com/AxMQ2PK.png What do? | 14:33 |
| Rory | deroy: You need to use a DVD not a CD | 14:34 |
| Rory | deroy: You can also use a USB flash drive | 14:34 |
| deroy | I need an Distro which is small for only testing my keyboard | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | deroy: tinycore | 14:35 |
| Rory | can confirm, tinycore is exceedingly small | 14:36 |
| Touhou11 | deroy: Arch Linux or Gentoo | 14:36 |
| evon | knightshade, rory. I cant follow the instructions in that link because the partition from the drive I'm recovering from is lost | 14:36 |
| deroy | I'm not a regular linux user. Arch and gentoo are too complicated | 14:36 |
| Rory | evon: So you need to recover data? | 14:36 |
| Rory | deroy: deroy Puppy Linux, it's small and has a GUI | 14:37 |
| Touhou11 | deroy: Anybody is capable of using Arch Linux or Gentoo, they're not especially technical. | 14:37 |
| evon | Rory. Yes from a .img file I created using ddrescue | 14:37 |
| evon | Rory. I tried testdisk on the drive first but that didn't help | 14:38 |
| Rory | evon: Sorry for your loss :| | 14:39 |
| knightshade | evon: and you can't mount the partition in the image file like described in the first answer there? | 14:39 |
| deroy | Puppy linux got a live disk? As in i can use it without installation? | 14:39 |
| evon | knightshade the instructions call for me to calculate some stuff based on the start of the partition. But I can't calculate it because there was not partition in the image. so there is no starting sector | 14:40 |
| Rory | deroy: Not sure. For distro-agnostic discussion I recommend joining ##linux - I'd take a look at Slax though, they are a live system http://www.slax.org/ | 14:41 |
| knightshade | evon: there should be a partition table in the image file, if you made an image of the whole drive with ddrescue | 14:42 |
| deroy | ok | 14:42 |
| knightshade | evon: have you tried the fdisk command 'sudo fdisk -lu your_image_file.img'? | 14:43 |
| Touhou11 | I recommend SystemRescueCD as the best "problem-solving" Live CD, comes with a lot of tools | 14:43 |

| evon | knightshade here's my output of both options in that post http://pastebin.com/spMpu1R2 | 14:45 |
| knightshade | evon: so there is no partition table. you could try photorec to recover files | 14:47 |
| evon | knightshade photorec never keeps the filenames. is there another program? is there no other solution? | 14:48 |
| gordonjcp | evon: testdisk? | 14:49 |
| knightshade | evon: i don't know really. I only recovered files from ntfs partitions with photorec. | 14:49 |
| Tashtego | Where was that? | 14:49 |
| gordonjcp | evon: depending on how badly you have broken the filesystem, there may be no filenames left to recover | 14:49 |
| evon | gordonjcp, testdisk can't even find a partition to repair | 14:49 |
| gordonjcp | evon: photorec works by looking at the disk and guessing what might be in a file | 14:50 |
| knightshade | evon: There are some other tools like extundelete, but I never tried them. | 14:50 |
| Touhou11 | Can't you just use backup? Or are they too out of date? | 14:50 |
| gordonjcp | evon: what's the partition type, and what did you do to it? | 14:50 |
| evon | NTFS. I was using it as a data drive. Just stopped working one day. all i've done is use ddrescue and analyze it with testdisk | 14:51 |
| evon | gordjcp NTFS. I was using it as a data drive. Just stopped working one day. all i've done is use ddrescue and analyze it with testdisk | 14:51 |
| evon | gordonjcp NTFS. I was using it as a data drive. Just stopped working one day. all i've done is use ddrescue and analyze it with testdisk | 14:54 |
| evon | gordonjcp rory knightshade, photorec just keeps saying error reading sector | 14:55 |
| gordonjcp | evon: oh, sounds like the drive has failed | 14:56 |
| gordonjcp | evon: in which case, the prognosis is not good | 14:56 |
| evon | gordonjcp does that mean the actual disks in the drive have failed or just the other components? | 14:57 |

| mgorbach | Seems to work about 30% of the time on each reboot of this server machine. | 16:36 |
| usr13 | mgorbach: X should be on TTY7 | 16:36 |
| mgorbach | usr13: No X here. Ubuntu Server / console boot. | 16:37 |
| usr13 | mgorbach: oh ok. Then that is probably normal. | 16:37 |

| TheKK | Have you guys used Bamboo pad on ubuntu? I want to buy one but not sure if it is compatible with ubuntu | 16:45 |
| mgorbach | What's for me is that the upstart messages show up ... some of the time. | 16:47 |
| duckxx | Ìû | 16:47 |
| mgorbach | Maybe 10% or 30% or something. Drives me nuts. | 16:47 |
| usr13 | mgorbach: May not be normal. May be a malfunction of the kernel log deamon | 16:47 |
| mgorbach | The rest of the time, just an empty blank console. | 16:47 |
| mgorbach | usr13: Yeah, perhaps. Does upstart have a nondeterministic ordering in how is starts up its stuff? | 16:48 |
| === jose- is now known as jose | ||
| usr13 | mgorbach: But I've seen that before.... didn't seem to be any sort of serious problem, can't find it now but... | 16:48 |
| mgorbach | I'm wondering if one ordering leads to upstart output on TTY7 and the other doesn't. | 16:48 |
| mgorbach | Yep, doesn't seem to be affecting much of anything else. Just bugging me a bit. | 16:49 |

| limace255 | yes; my /isolinux/txt.cfg file mention ks=cdrom:/isolinux/ks.cfg | 18:20 |
| usr13 | limace255: I don't use the kickstart application so I'm not sure | 18:20 |

| limace255 | Well, I'v tried to read preseed documentation, certainly better, but I won't have the time to read and perform good stuff...my line : ok with changing, but I don't know by what | 18:21 |
| syeekick | zykotick9, thanks pal :) | 18:22 |
| zykotick9 | syeekick: glad to help | 18:22 |
| limace255 | usr13: ks.cfg file is on the /isolinux/ks.cfg, on usb stick | 18:22 |
| usr13 | limace255: Seeing http://info.vortexbox.org/tiki-index.php?page=usbinstall | 18:23 |

| nvrpunk | does anyone know offhand | 18:23 |
| maujhsn | SASL: added ubuntu: [PLAIN] maujhsn * | 18:24 |
| usr13 | limace255: On http://www.dminnich.com/files/usb_kickstart.txt I see: "pdate the syslinux.cfg. Change the ks=cdrom to ks=file. Like this..." | 18:24 |
| limace255 | usr13: thx, I'm checking that.Have seen some thread too about changing isolinux by syslinux | 18:25 |
| limace255 | fine !! really thank you, I'm gonna check this now | 18:25 |
| zykotick9 | syeekick: oh, actually you weren't the person i thought. <ot> if your looking for security related stuff, i'd strongly suggest creating a kali livedvd, and using that instead. </ot> | 18:26 |
| usr13 | limace255: It says to change the line, Sync the drive. Pull it and try it. | 18:26 |
| maujhsn | exit | 18:26 |
| syeekick | yeah but i watned the tools on my ubuntu 13.10 system, i have not option to dual boot any more, live cds suck in my opinion | 18:26 |
| syeekick | but yeah kali is lovely | 18:27 |

| BobJonkman1 | Hi: I'm doing an 'apt-get install' and getting a large number of suggested and recommended packages. What is the difference between suggested and recommended? | 18:28 |
| koyetsu | have a wierd issue. at the physical console i'm able to ifconfig and it work but if i ssh into the box is tells me that it's not in my path and i have to use /sbin/ifconfig it the ssh and physical console configs different? i've never had this happen before | 18:28 |
| koyetsu | it=is | 18:28 |
| === client is now known as mob_titan | ||
| ActionParsnip | koyetsu: is /usr/sbin in your $PATH variable? | 18:28 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: cat /etc/issue #What does that say? | 18:29 |
| mob_titan | Does anybody know how I can loop through web pages and save them automatically? I am trying to save 150 pages without doing it manually | 18:29 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Are you sshing into an unexpected user? | 18:30 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: recommends are typically installed by default (you usually want them). suggests are a lighter suggestion. do you want more detail? | 18:30 |
| koyetsu | usr13 that returns Ubuntu 12.04 LTS \n \i | 18:30 |
| koyetsu | ActionParsnip wouldn't it have to be if on the console with same user it works fine? | 18:31 |
| BobJonkman1 | zykotick9: Thanx. And hi! I'm not sure that the recommends are getting installed... Let me check | 18:31 |
| === anthony is now known as Guest35041 | ||
| usr13 | koyetsu: Ok. Are you sshing into a user that may not have the same path as the one you expect? Look and see. | 18:31 |
| === Guest35041 is now known as anton_eh | ||
| ActionParsnip | koyetsu: each user can have it's own $PATH variable | 18:31 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: did you do something with /etc/apt/apt.conf perhaps? | 18:31 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: $PATH | 18:31 |
| mob_titan | anybody? | 18:32 |
| BobJonkman1 | zykotick9: No, but I've imported several source.list files from a precise installation (and painstakingly hand-edited every "precise" to "saucy"), then imported the GPG keyring too. | 18:33 |
| koyetsu | ok i'm logged in with same use both at the console and with ssh on the console i have paths on ssh i donot but it's the same user that is what has me confused | 18:33 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: If it is not the user you thought it was, su - other-user | 18:33 |
| anton_eh | anyone familiar with synaptic not loading using the GUI in 12.04? | 18:33 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: who | 18:33 |
| koyetsu | nope the prompts are identical | 18:33 |
| BobJonkman1 | mob_titan: Do a search for http-track, which will recursively download an entire web site | 18:33 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: i wouldn't "expect" that to interfer with recommends? sorry, i gots nothin'. best of luck. | 18:33 |
| koyetsu | koyetsu | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | anton_eh: try running it with gksudo | 18:34 |
| ldlework | Does anyone know how to get the mute button to also unmute? | 18:34 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Does who show you an unexpected output? | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mob_titan: wassup? | 18:34 |
| === choronzon is now known as Forcas | ||
| === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi | ||
| usr13 | ldlework: alsamixer | 18:34 |
| koyetsu | who shows 2 ligins from koyetsu 1 from tty1 and the other from pts/0 | 18:34 |
| BobJonkman1 | zykotick9: Thanx! I'm not too worried, I can always install them manually. Mostly I was curious about the difference between 'suggested' and 'recommended' | 18:34 |
| anton_eh | yeah ActionParsnip I can get it using gksudo though wondered if there was some sort of fix for the GUI? | 18:35 |
| koyetsu | err logins | 18:35 |
| koyetsu | can't fricken type today | 18:35 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Ok. Well that is strange. | 18:35 |
| koyetsu | yeah that's why i was wondering if something was wrong with my ssh server | 18:35 |
| mob_titan | BobJonkman1 will it be able to recursively download dynamic web pages that aren't part of a website but are in fact just URLs that are JSON endpoints? | 18:35 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Try it anyway su - koyetsu | 18:35 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: basically, recommends are "typically desired" features (ie. important. and are "assumed" to be installed), while suggests add features that aren't central to the operation of the package. | 18:36 |
| mob_titan | ActionParsnip Dying mate and u? | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mob_titan: waiting for 7pm so I can blow this popsicle stand | 18:36 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Yea, the ssh server could possibly be the issue, not sure that I've seen something like that before, but... | 18:36 |
| BobJonkman1 | mob_titan: It's been a while since I used http_track, but I don't think it cares about the filetype or content-type | 18:36 |
| koyetsu | usr13 ran that it asked for password i gave it it went back to prompt but hte issue is the same | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | anton_eh: why use synaptic when software centre is in a default install? | 18:37 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: $PATH | pastebinit | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: not: echo $PATH ? | 18:37 |
| koyetsu | from the ssh or the console? | 18:37 |
| anton_eh | old habits probably | 18:37 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: either should work. Right? | 18:37 |
| mob_titan | BobJonkman1 I've tried writing Python scripts, JS scripts and none of them work :'D | 18:38 |
| koyetsu | was wondering is i should try a CS101 windows fix and reboot the machine hehe | 18:38 |
| zykotick9 | usr13: wow, i had no idea "$PATH" by itself would do that - neat, thanks. | 18:38 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: & zykotick9 But as I see, echo $PATH is cleaner. | 18:39 |
| BobJonkman1 | zykotick9: Slightly OT: Sebastien was asking about Ubuntu Hours in your locality in #ubuntu-ca a few days ago. Would you be interested? Come join us in #ubuntu-ca ... | 18:39 |
| anton_eh | Thanks ActionParsnip I will take tht to my tutor and see what he responds with - all the best | 18:39 |
| tozen | ActionParsnip: isn't software-center more buggy? never using it aptitude only! | 18:39 |

| esde | I had ports forwarded with AirVPN and StrongVPN, but with my own VPN on an OpenVZ container, no luck. Is there some iptables rule i need to run on the remote server to tell it to open all ports for openvpn clients??? | 18:40 |
| koyetsu | http://pastebin.com/CCw5TsW8 | 18:41 |
| BobJonkman1 | mob_titan: Re-use the code, Luke. If you're doing Web scraping, find some libraries that do the work for you. I'm not a Python programmer (yet), but there's a library called "Beautiful Soup" that does a good job of parsing HTML pages, even badly formatted ones. | 18:42 |
| koyetsu | they appear to be the same after th su - command you had me run but ifconfig works in one but not the other dunno if any other commands are like that or not that was the one i ran into. but i can run /sbin/ifconfig | 18:42 |
| koyetsu | just irritating | 18:42 |
| === ExtreGhost is now known as Extreminador | ||
| === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 | ||
| mob_titan | BobJonkman1: I've looked into Beautiful Soup, It makes too much of the type of web pages I am trying to scrape. They are already in JSON format (except they are fetched through a URL) so a simple "save as .json" is what I am trying to get. I found something here: http://www.httrack.com/html/scripting.html and stackoverflow is frustrating | 18:44 |
| BobJonkman1 | mob_titan: You're right, httrack is what I meant. Like I said, it's been a while since I used it. | 18:44 |
| usr13 | zykotick9: Look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config and see if something there may be limiting a user's path. | 18:45 |

| usr13 | koyetsu: Look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config and see if something there may be limiting a user's path. | 18:46 |
| koyetsu | ok | 18:46 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Just looking at: http://serverfault.com/questions/450062/restrict-ssh-commands-for-a-group-of-users | 18:47 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Are you the sysadmin over this server, or is it someone else, (if you don't know what's doing it, must be someone else that has made a change). | 18:48 |
| koyetsu | oh it's mine | 18:48 |
| koyetsu | and nothing was changed i just installed the server fixed a networking issue then installed ssh-server and now this issue | 18:49 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Ok, well the above URL is just an example and may not at all pertain to your issue, but it *is* an example of what apparently can be done. | 18:49 |
| === sean__ is now known as psuchocoonass1 | ||
| koyetsu | yeah i'm looking at the ssh_config and see absolutely nothing in it that would cause this issue | 18:50 |
| koyetsu | i'm just gonna cs101 it and see if it fixes itself | 18:50 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: So the PATH *is* different for the local and the remote users. Right? | 18:51 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: (even though the users are the same?) (And are there *other* users?) | 18:52 |
| koyetsu | only difference appears to be at the beging of the $path return the ssh version being su - and the other being -bash | 18:52 |
| koyetsu | haven't made any other users yet | 18:52 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Well, you can exit the super user session. | 18:53 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: If that's what you mean.... You are still in a super user session? | 18:53 |
| koyetsu | after reboot and re-login to the ssh the path is changed: -bash: /usr/bin:/bin: No such file or directory | 18:54 |

| === joel_ is now known as JBueno | ||
| BobJonkman1 | FWIW, the 'apt-get install' did not automatically include either the recommended or suggested packages | 18:59 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: that's "odd" are you sure there isn't something doing that in your /etc/apt/apt.conf? | 19:00 |
| zykotick9 | BobJonkman1: suggests aren't typically installed by default, but recommends are... | 19:00 |
| mob_titan | thanks for the help BobJonkman1 | 19:01 |
| BobJonkman1 | zykotick9: Could very well be. But I was only curious; I'm not going to worry about it. I'll poke through apt.conf later | 19:02 |
| BobJonkman1 | mob_titan: You're welcome. Hope you've got something to work with | 19:02 |
| usr13 | koyetsu: Do you also have bash_profile? | 19:02 |
| koyetsu | nope | 19:03 |
| mob_titan | BobJonkman1 I am evaluating between another python script using a library or writing a script for HTTrack, I don't know why I'm bent on scraping, but I just feel like I need to complete this to learn something from it. | 19:03 |
| koyetsu | well i'm out of time for this right now i'll poke at it later thanks for trying usr13 | 19:04 |

| === hunter is now known as Guest32875 | ||

| ripthejacker | Is it loaded? | 19:32 |
| abdul | i need help | 19:34 |
| bencc2 | glitsj16: ok so it's libav-tools. thanks | 19:35 |
| glitsj16 | ripthejacker: check with lsmod | grep ip_vs_wrr | 19:35 |
| glitsj16 | bencc2: you're welcome | 19:36 |
| ripthejacker | glitsj16: empty | 19:36 |
| glitsj16 | ripthejacker: than the module isn't loaded | 19:36 |
| ripthejacker | glitsj16: so I just have to use modprobe ip_vs_wrr? | 19:37 |
| glitsj16 | ripthejacker: sudo modprobe <module name> yes | 19:37 |
| timhansen | when setting up a cronjob (logged in as root) via crontab -e , do i need to specify the username (root) before the command? | 19:39 |
| glitsj16 | ripthejacker: and check again with the former command to confirm that it loaded cleanly | 19:39 |
| ripthejacker | glitsj16: in /boot/config it's show as CONFIG_IP_VS_WRR, so the command will be sudo modprobe IP_VS_WRR or CONFIG_IP_VS_WRR? | 19:40 |
| glitsj16 | ripthejacker: sudo modprobe ip_vs_wrr i'd say, the config...=m doesn't do the actual module loading but configures it i believe | 19:41 |

| jhutchins | Ontani: try -t msdos | 20:05 |
| bekks | Ontani: pastebin please: sudo blkid | 20:06 |
| jhutchins | Ontani: msdos probably won't work if vfat didn't. | 20:07 |
| jhutchins | phdp_000: Is there perhaps a physical switch somewhere on the laptop? | 20:07 |
| phdp_000 | jhuntchins: very unlikely, I was typing on vim and surfing with firefox, everything was working fine. It just stopped working. | 20:08 |
| reggie_ | Hey folks need help with adjusting Owncloud upload size can anyone help? | 20:09 |
| phdp_000 | I'm quite puzzled, when I look for "Hardware disabled" on the internet I get all these poeple with problems getting their wireless to work but mine worked fine for months. | 20:09 |
| kostkon | phdp_000, rfkill unblock all ? | 20:09 |
| abdul | I cant install teamviewer | 20:10 |
| phdp_000 | kostkon: I just tried and it did nothing. | 20:10 |
| jhutchins | phdp_000: There may be a "wifi" icon - radio tower with waves - to the right of the power switch. This may be the switch. | 20:10 |
| ferr | sup anyone advanced in network management? | 20:11 |
| phdp_000 | jhutchins: Yes there is but I can't switch it from "Off" to "On" even after setting the airplane mode to off (I'm using Ubuntu GNOME). | 20:11 |
| [Gentoo] | ferr: what is it | 20:12 |
| ferr | [Gentoo]: I've got 2 ip cameras, nvr and switch. When I connect cameras directly to the nvr, both works. If I use the switch, I only can see one | 20:12 |
| jhutchins | phdp_000: It's entirely possible that your hardware has failed. Anything useful in dmesg? | 20:13 |
| [Gentoo] | ferr: ah i got no exp with the camera stuff sorry | 20:13 |
| jhutchins | ferr: Try #3networking | 20:14 |
| [Gentoo] | had to google nvr :) | 20:14 |
| jhutchins | ferr: Er, ##networking | 20:14 |
| ferr | jhutchins: thanks | 20:14 |
| jhutchins | ferr: Also whoever made the cameras/nvr. | 20:15 |
| === jack is now known as Guest19462 | ||
| ferr | I will try but I believe it's some kind of ip conflict which I don't get | 20:15 |
| [Gentoo] | a switch isnt a router | 20:16 |
| phdp_000 | jhutchins: First time I try this command, frankly I wouldn't know if there was something useful there. It does detect my wireless card (Intel Centrino). | 20:16 |
| ticking | hey, is there a simple way to get .X | 20:16 |
| ferr | but when I plug in one into switch, another directly to nvr, then both cameras work as well lol | 20:16 |
| ticking | .Xmodmap files working again?^^ | 20:16 |
| [Gentoo] | ferr: i have no idea how an nvr works | 20:17 |
| [Gentoo] | do you configure it like a router? | 20:17 |
| [Gentoo] | and choose ips to record from? | 20:17 |
| ferr | you can but basically it automatically connects the cameras | 20:18 |
| phdp_000 | jhutchins: I'll try to boot on Ubuntu with a USB stick to see if it's a software problem. | 20:18 |
| arayaq | Hi. I have a problem detecting the external monitor on a screenless laptop. It worked OK when it had the built-in screen, but now that I removed it the external monitor wont work. I've tried to reinstall but again the monitor goes undetected. | 20:18 |
| phdp_000 | jhutchins: Thanks for the help. | 20:18 |
| [Gentoo] | ferr: im guessing here, but maybe connect the nvr and 2 cameras to a router | 20:18 |
| arayaq | Any suggestion is well welcomed. | 20:18 |

| ses1984 | hi, i was looking for a hardware recommendation for a graphics card that supports triple head output, for programming not gaming. i'm hopefully looking for something affordable that doesn't consume a ton of power like a high end gaming card would | 20:25 |

| ScottNYC | question, why is it that Ubuntu Servers guided LVM install creates a sperate ext3 /boot partition? Why isnt it part of /roots' logical volume or at least its own logical volume, why ext3? | 20:26 |
| ses1984 | Pici: well a lot of people have recommended things that don't have linux drivers, or rely on X extensions that may or may not be compatible with future versions of ubuntu that don't use X | 20:26 |
| n008_ | how do I check current time ubuntu | 20:27 |
| n008_ | like `date` | 20:27 |
| ses1984 | in other words, there's tons of hardware out there that's not necessarily ideal for use in ubuntu, which is why i'm here | 20:27 |
| [Gentoo] | n008_: that, date | 20:27 |
| [Gentoo] | man date | 20:27 |
| n008_ | oh man tired | 20:28 |

| badass | is there a way to extract a file from a tar file that exists in a subdirectory within the tarfile to a specific directory? | 20:33 |
| badass | ex: tar -xvf myfile.tar -C /go/here/file.php path/in/archive/file.php | 20:34 |

| trism | badass: first answer here maybe? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9249603/how-to-extract-a-single-file-from-tar-to-a-different-directory | 20:40 |
| trism | badass: although honestly looks just like yours, so maybe not | 20:40 |
| trism | badass: maybe drop the file.php in -C | 20:40 |
| badass | i have the syntax right, im just wanting the file to extract without its parent directories within the archive | 20:41 |
| badass | so if my archives structure is a/folder/in/archive/file.txt | 20:41 |
| badass | and i want to extract that file, it brings the entire directory structure with it, no matter what is specified in -C | 20:41 |
| badass | i just want file.txt | 20:42 |

| saliak | I've installed mysql through apt. I need to add sphinx support for full text indexing, by recompiling mysql from source. If i just download the latest source, recompile and install, how does that impact what happened with apt? | 20:47 |
| Eisroman | hi guys! | 20:47 |
| SpamDroner | Hallo everyone. It's my first time using an IRC channel :) | 20:48 |
| subz3r0 | welcome :) | 20:49 |
| Eisroman | HI guys! | 20:49 |
| SpamDroner | thanx | 20:49 |
| usr13 | saliak: I'd say you need to uninstall it first. | 20:50 |
| usr13 | Eisroman: Yes. Hello? DO you have a question? | 20:50 |
| saliak | usr13: so apt-get uninstall it? so, that breaks other things, right? like, if i installed my lamp server through apt, then it'd remove all the mysql bits from php, etc. right? | 20:51 |
| saliak | usr13: this bit has always confused me. what if i just installed a new version from source what would apt-think? | 20:51 |
| usr13 | saliak: Hummmm, don't know about that, but don't think so. | 20:51 |
| usr13 | saliak: Uninstalling mysql would obviously cause stuff to quit working, but I don't think it will rip out what you've done with php | 20:52 |
| usr13 | saliak: Don't take my word for it. Soneone else say something, (I've never uninstalled and re-installed mysql). | 20:53 |
| badass | trism: thanks it works on OS X but you have to specify it before -xf | 20:53 |
| glitsj16 | saliak: are you sure you need to recompile mysql? looks like there could be other options according to http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-sphinx-on-ubuntu-10.10 | 20:54 |
| saliak | usr13: haha, ok. yeah, i'm pretty nervous about the change. i think in the past i've just installed over what apt had installed and it didn't break anything, but I'm not sure i ever went through a version update with that (so apt never touched that package again) | 20:54 |
| trism | badass: interesting, good to know | 20:55 |
| usr13 | saliak: I would suppose that if you installed a new version from source, you would need to un-install the old version first. But again, I'm not an authority, I've only used the one installed via the package management system and haven't uninstalled and re-installed mysql | 20:56 |
| saliak | glitsj16: yeah, I'm using RT http://www.bestpractical.com/docs/rt/4.2/full_text_indexing.html | 20:56 |
| === hakr is now known as h[a]kr | ||
| usr13 | saliak: You may very well be right in thinking you can just install another version leaving what you have alone. I don't know for sure. If you've done it before and it worked, I don't know why it wouldn' | 20:57 |
| usr13 | t work again. | 20:57 |

| kevin__ | some mouse movement and then complete freeze | 20:59 |
| usr13 | kevin__: If there is something that has maxed out your RAM, you could try stopping it. | 21:00 |
| usr13 | kevin__: You could do some investigation or you could try restarting X | 21:00 |
| usr13 | kevin__: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace should restart the GUI | 21:00 |
| kevin__ | thanks | 21:00 |
| kevin__ | and the REISUB i've heard of? | 21:01 |
| usr13 | kevin__: .... and kill all the GUI apps, (which hopefully will stop what is crippling the system). | 21:01 |

| jack | my browser is google-chrome | 21:12 |

| zongo | i have a bit of a dilemma | 21:50 |
| Vyse007 | sup zongo? | 21:50 |
| zongo | was wondering if any guru could help me | 21:51 |
| Vyse007 | Zongo: Go ahead and tell us what is the problem. | 21:51 |
| zongo | I am almost ready to migrate to Ubuntu | 21:51 |
| beandog | yay ubuntu | 21:51 |
| beandog | yay linux | 21:51 |
| beandog | yay | 21:52 |
| beandog | where are you migrating from? that's the question | 21:52 |
| zongo | i have been testing it for a while now but not everything is compatible with my laptop and linux | 21:52 |
| zongo | win 8.1 | 21:52 |
| beandog | ok | 21:52 |
| beandog | hardware or software? | 21:52 |
| zongo | hardware | 21:52 |
| Vyse007 | What hardware in particular? | 21:52 |
| zongo | I know from reading a lot of of docs that you can with time and tweating sometimes use generic drivers | 21:53 |
| zongo | ie: bluetooth stack | 21:53 |
| zongo | not compatible | 21:53 |
| === buka is now known as Guest83320 | ||
| zongo | plus, the small things like keyboard backlighting | 21:53 |
| Vyse007 | so your laptop's bluetooth doesn't work in linux? | 21:54 |
| zongo | that is correct | 21:54 |
| === yourbestfriend is now known as YOURBESTFRIEND | ||
| k1l_ | zongo: no one can answer that for general questions. for make and model we can take a look | 21:54 |
| Vyse007 | zongo: you have to give us specifics. What works for us may or may not work for you. | 21:55 |
| zongo | thanks, its an asus g750x | 21:55 |
| zongo | sorry i meant to write g750j | 21:56 |
| zongo | I have run hardware compatibiliy and the bluetooth is coming short | 21:57 |
| Hassen | VIVA UBUNTU | 21:57 |
| zongo | the wireless and ethernet card are good to go | 21:57 |
| zongo | One major issue is going to be graphic i think | 21:58 |
| zongo | if I am not mistaken | 21:58 |
| zongo | its a geforce 770 | 21:58 |
| zongo | in the ubuntu stack there is a pilote for it but that does not seem to give a decent output (fps) | 21:59 |
| zongo | compare to what i can run on win 8.1 | 21:59 |
| Vyse007 | the graphics issue can usually be solved by open source drivers | 22:00 |
| zongo | yes that's what i was reading but for the geforce the drivers (open source) are decent enough but not as good as what i would get on win 8.1 | 22:01 |

| Beldar | zongo, we don't help on as if installs. | 22:04 |
| zongo | ok | 22:04 |
| iballeat | Hi. Looking for help. After last shutting down my comp with Ubuntu 12.04 (Mate) i cant to get to login screen. Just some background for a second and restarting. What i can do in this situation? | 22:05 |
| zongo | was just trying to get an insight of people that had install ubuntu on their laptop | 22:05 |
| Beldar | zongo, It is good you are researching, run it in a virtual to see what happens there. | 22:05 |
| Vyse007 | zongo: Chances are that the hardware may work on a full install. On a live image, there isn't much you can do. | 22:05 |
| zongo | i have tried livecds and vms as well | 22:06 |
| Vyse007 | iballeat: You get to the background and then it restarts? Or you see a bunch of text and then it restarts? | 22:06 |
| zongo | the feel is good | 22:06 |
| zongo | but scared once on the laptop some drivers are going to be missing and whatnot | 22:06 |
| iballeat | Vyse007, i dont see any texts. only brown background (like before login screen) for one second and comp restarting. Just before this background i saw some text (smth about NTFS), but it was only for milliseconds and i can't read it. And i don't know where i can see it. | 22:09 |
| Vyse007 | iballeat: Do you remember any changes you made the last time the machine was working? | 22:09 |
| iballeat | Vyse007, i installed ubuntu from windows 7. (Maybe it helps) | 22:10 |
| LyGen | hi guys, im having a problem setting up my rtorrent+rutorrent box, rutorrent cant seem to find rtorrent running | 22:10 |
| iballeat | Vyse007, i do aptitude safe-upgrade two-three times a day | 22:10 |
| LyGen | can you help me? | 22:10 |
| Beldar | zongo, Your best bet is make sure your W8 is imaged/cloned have a recovery disc made in windos, resize it there and install and know how to remove ubuntu and reload any images if needed. | 22:11 |
| iballeat | Vyse007, i dont remember that i install something new | 22:11 |
| Vyse007 | iballeat: So you have been using this Ubuntu system for long right? What was the last thing you did when it was working? Also, you have a win7 install on the same HD? | 22:11 |
| iballeat | Vyse007, last time i just surfing and dont install new programs. i have win7 on other hd, but my comp boots from hd with win7 | 22:13 |
| kevin__ | Is there a Kali or Backtrack IRC Channel? | 22:14 |
| Beldar | iballeat, You have a wubi install, there is hardly no support on this install type, so be aware of this. | 22:14 |
| Beldar | !alosi | kevin__ | 22:14 |
| Beldar | !alis | kevin__ | 22:14 |
| ubottu | kevin__: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 22:14 |
| iballeat | Beldar, yeah, i use wubi install. i thought that it is fine program for installing (cause it is frequently appears in google search) | 22:15 |
| Vyse007 | Beldar: He has a wubi install? I thought he said win7 was on the other hd... | 22:15 |
| Beldar | Vyse007, They installed from windows. | 22:15 |
| kevin__ | thnx | 22:16 |
| Vyse007 | iballeat: Not much can be done about the wubi install. Especially if can't provide some logs. | 22:16 |

| schultza | Does Ubuntu do anything with the wins server information from dhcp? | 22:17 |
| Vyse007 | schultza: You mean pass on this info to something else? | 22:19 |
| Beldar | iballeat, There is a a user on the ubuntu forum who has focused on wubi, I would post this info there, with wubi in the thread title. They can probably get you up and running, than you might consider moving the wubi to a partition. | 22:19 |

| schultza | I'm trying to get samba working on my network. Apparently we have a server that points to a wins server, and the samba server is setup for wins, but not sure if linux/ubuntu does anything with the wins server information from dhcp to any samba clients like that network browsing feature in the files manager. | 22:20 |

| imeon | i look and i came back in few minutes | 22:24 |
| schultza | Vyse007: thanks. So I will have to install samba on each client machine and set it up to point to thw wins server in the smb.conf. | 22:24 |
| iballeat | Beldar, Vyse007, thank you. i will try | 22:24 |
| Vyse007 | iballeat: Good luck and feel free to post your experiences somewhere. | 22:25 |
| Vyse007 | schultza: Yes thats what you gotta do. Its a pretty easy setup tho, not a big deal. | 22:25 |

| schultza | Vyse007: thanks. | 22:26 |
| schultza | usr13: So can windows. But requires major setups in windows side. | 22:26 |
| Vyse007 | hey usr13 sup? | 22:26 |
| usr13 | schultza: What? (What does MS-Windows have to do with it?) | 22:26 |
| usr13 | Vyse007: Hello... | 22:27 |

| === s0beit is now known as s0beit|ZNC | ||
| schultza | I was just saying that I can do NFS. Was just stating it would take some effort on the windows side to get running with nfs. | 22:29 |
| usr13 | schultza: But why would you do that? Why would you *not* use samba? | 22:29 |
| Vyse007 | schultza: Samba is definitely easier to set up. | 22:29 |
| bekks | schultza: If you call "install the NFS client on Windows 7 Professional and above" "some effort" - then you are right. | 22:29 |
| schultza | bekks: It is. I've been through it. | 22:30 |
| bekks | It isnt. Did it within an hour in an entire division. :) | 22:30 |
| tripelb | 12.04 Is there some way that I can get my wifi to ONLY try to connect to my wifi and not to the others? Android can do that. | 22:30 |
| schultza | usr13: Trouble with samba not talking. Even on the same workgroup. I think I will have to install the nmbd server on client machines on the linux side. | 22:31 |
| schultza | bekks: maybe im new to nfs on windows then. :) | 22:31 |
| usr13 | schultza: Well, here is what I do; If I have files on a linux machine that I want to share with MS-Windows and Linux clients, I share them whith samba for the MS-Windows clients and nfs for the Linux clients. (I don't see any reason to not use both samba and nfs for the same share.) | 22:31 |
| schultza | bekks: We have no domain controller as it's a small business. <20 computers. | 22:31 |
| Vyse007 | schultza: NFS is a better option for linux clients but samba is definitely easier for win-linux systems. | 22:32 |
| schultza | Thanks all. I will look to set that up. | 22:32 |
| usr13 | schultza: Now that is just the way I would do it, I don't really know if it is good or bad, just seems to me to be easiest. | 22:32 |
| Vyse007 | usr13: Its also the way I setup in my lab, so I know its easy and efficient. | 22:33 |
| usr13 | Vyse007: Well yea. Makes sense to me. | 22:34 |
| hassen | OLEEEEY | 22:34 |
| schultza | Vyse007: Is there a recommend way or any ideas for me to setting up NFS? | 22:34 |

| tripelb | are my questions just too simple for you guys? I used to be able to get helphere but times have changed. | 22:36 |

| tripelb | thanks schultza | 22:38 |
| usr13 | schultza: For NFS on the server side, edit /etc/exports with line: /path/to/share 192.168.1.0/24(rw) And on the [linux] client, edit /etc/fstab with line: /home/schultz/nfs-files nfs nolock,users,rw | 22:38 |
| fedgalaxy | sorry guys, i didnt know that i must first wait. next time i will be patient. I am truly sorry | 22:39 |
| schultza | tripelb: Did you find it? | 22:39 |
| BobJonkman1 | For those still following my question about apt-get recommends: I found in the file '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99update-notifier' the line 'APT::Install-Recommends "false";' which is why neither suggests nor recommends were installing for me.

| tripelb | I didnt used to have a here and then not wifi so it never came up. | 22:39 |
| Vyse007 | fedgalaxy: I am no expert on CUPS, but shouldnt cups conf file have some options on what to listen? | 22:39 |
| tripelb | schultza, where does one set that? | 22:39 |
| schultza | usr13: Ok. So setup NFS clients to use the share mounted. Ok. | 22:39 |
| schultza | tripelb: Hang on moment. | 22:39 |
| schultza | s/on/one | 22:39 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007 : 6984/cupsd , the only information that I have found on the internet was CUPSD is for printers. | 22:40 |
| usr13 | schultza: And then restart nfs: sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart | 22:40 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007 : plus i didnt find the conf file for cuspd under usr/sbin dir | 22:41 |
| usr13 | schultza: You should edit to suit your needs, such as rw or ro as you see fit, and share with only part of the lan or just one IP or a couple IPs etc. etc. | 22:41 |
| schultza | tripelb: Under Edit Connections for the wireless network you want, there is a "General" tab with an option to "Automatically connect to this network when it is available." Make sure other networks do not have checked when in the vicinity of those other networks. | 22:41 |
| tripelb | schultza, I just deleted all the others. let's see if thta persists through a reboot. Last night my computer suggested I might want to reboot "if I have further problems" so it might come up. | 22:41 |
| === malinus is now known as Guest63213 | ||
| tripelb | schultza, I do not have a General" Tab | 22:42 |
| tripelb | fyi | 22:43 |
| schultza | Left click the network icon in the top right. Click Edit Connections. | 22:43 |
| schultza | Select the network you want to edit, and click edit. There you should see a "General" Tab. | 22:44 |
| Vyse007 | fedgalaxy: By default, cups will always listens on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1) | 22:44 |
| tripelb | schultza, I do not have a General" Tab -- but I will uncheck a certain button on each of the others if they show up again. I'd rather allow, than disallow. | 22:44 |
| tripelb | thanks | 22:45 |
| Vyse007 | Are you sure you can't kill it? You can always remove it from the boot and see if that works. | 22:45 |
| schultza | tripelb: oh. what version do you have again? | 22:45 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007 : why i cant kill the process to end the listening, and why it is by default. To handle printers? i dont have one | 22:45 |
| schultza | tripelb: Sorry, I'm currently running 13.10. | 22:45 |
| schultza | tripelb: I will have to download the latest LTS to see what it looks like in LTS. | 22:46 |
| Vyse007 | fedgalaxy: If you don't need printing, just disable it from startup. Thats it. | 22:46 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007 : hey man, i found the cupsd.conf file; it is said "# Only listen for connections from the local machine." | 22:47 |
| Vyse007 | fedgalaxy: like i said, by default it will listen on the loopback interface | 22:47 |
| Vyse007 | just remove it from startup if you dont need it | 22:47 |
| Vyse007 | do you know how to do that? | 22:47 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007 : where can i find the startup (12.04 LTS) | 22:48 |
| Vyse007 | fedgalaxy: are you familiar with the terminal? | 22:49 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007 : of course | 22:49 |
| Vyse007 | then just use this command: sudo update-rc.d -f cups remove | 22:49 |
| Vyse007 | Then reboot | 22:49 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007 : (i thought the startup had an interface) | 22:50 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007 : ok thanks, will do sir | 22:50 |
| Vyse007 | fedgalaxy: It does have an interface, but I havent used a DE in a while, so I don't really remember it too well. | 22:52 |
| tripelb | schultza, what happens when it tries is I have ended up with a set of 30 items in the panel and I have to choose each and close them and OK a dialog box to get rid of them. | 22:53 |
| tripelb | fyi | 22:53 |
| fedgalaxy | Vyse007: yeah it does, i will look that up on the ubuntu forums | 22:53 |
