I'm running XUBUNTU 13.10/WIn7 64 bit. My wireless was working absolutely fine on Windows, but I changed some things on my Linux partition due to very slow wifi. I was reading stuff of this place --> http://www.unixmen.com/resolve-slow-connexion-when-using-wifi-in-ubuntu-1104-natty-narwhal/#sthash.YBiyplyp.dpuf If anyone can help.. thanks.

[00:02] merci [00:02] pdp [00:03] palan, debian has it's own channel, this is ubuntu support. [00:03] Beldar, don't you know what version of Debian Ubuntu 13.10 runs? [00:04] palan, Just confirming you are running ubuntu 13.10, not sure why you would mention debian if so. [00:04] Even with Bumblebee installed, login leads to a black screen. Any diagnostics I can run to see what's wrong more specifically while I'm in bash? [00:04] palan: there is no version of debian in ubuntu [00:04] palan, There is no such thing as a debian ubuntu per-say.

Did you install anything else recently other than just the font? [01:11] i also got this http://192.168.2.6:8080/5cI8bjc [01:11] Nope. I just installed like 5 Calibri fonts (bold, mono, etc) [01:11] Then I refreshed the page and I had the fonts [01:11] but they look deformed [01:11] It didn't change all of my fonts [01:11] Villiska, I found this online. It may be a solution http://goo.gl/eK7dOP [01:11] just the websites that use Calibri in their CSS [01:12] But I'm not sure.

But, I'm not able to find it in the typical font folders [01:12] is my only problem really [01:12] did you try "locate calibri" in the terminal? [01:12] Yeah, it just brought me back to my hostname [01:12] or whatever [01:12] Villiska: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [01:12] Nothing showed [01:12] Villiska: look under the 'Manually' section, many additional paths are located there [01:13] Thanks, I'll have a look.

I can't find it in google fonts. === Emmanuel_Chanel_ is now known as Emmanuel_Chanel [01:16] Oh, jswagner it looks like they only named the 3 locations I said in my original comment [01:16] The font file isn't there though which is what is confusing me [01:16] Villiska y arent you talking to me [01:16] Because you're trolling and I'm focusing on my own problem [01:16] you checked ~/.fonts [01:16] ?

[01:18] I can't uninstall or locate the directory from the font viewer though. [01:19] Just a suggestion, open the calibri file again. Maybe instead of install it'll say uninstall? [01:19] It doesn't. It just says "Installed" and it's blanked out so you can't click it.

[01:25] If I could just type "Calibri" it'd bring up 4-5 results that I could just delete [01:25] Villiska, just to double check, "locate calibri" returns nothing? What about "locate -i calibri"?

I got the floodwarning by accident [01:30] Hello [01:30] Villiska, yes I got them [01:30] I'm doing some Googling [01:30] Oh okay thank you very much [01:31] The only other solution I can find is to disable bitmapping for Cleartype fonts [01:32] I installed Ubuntu and can ping google.com, but cannot ping my local servers.

[01:33] If you create a file called .fonts.conf in you home directory, and then paste the code from http://pastebin.com/d6qaYzfk into it, save the file, then log out and then back in your font may render properly, removing the need for you to delete the font at least [01:36] i keep trying to dhcpc wlan0, but it takes too long and fails. just wondering if anyone knew why.

[01:37] how come back terminal normal [01:37] CyanBlob, the problem with that was that I already have a .fonts.conf file and it has stuff written in it so I didn't touch it.

[02:11] WTF, it says that package is not installed [02:11] so im attempting to repair some broken packages since ubuntu failed to reboot after a autoremove, however, i noticed some of the files its downloading aren't even installed. [02:11] good day i have a problem in browsing mozilla firefox [02:12] i ran a sudo apt-get -f intall [02:12] But the apt-get installed didn't report any errors [02:12] is their any problem in yahoo.com cant check my emails [02:12] libreoffice, for example, is not installe.d yet its download it it [02:12] nicknack, Pastebin the errors from that command and a update upgrade from the terminal, and give some details. [02:12] edoceo_web: I just use cpan to install perl modules.. [02:13] edoceo_web: on my 13.10 system, it's installed at /usr/lib/perl5/DBI [02:13] BONG_IT what's your problem with Firefox? [02:13] yea, but CPAN is the wrong way to do it when your distrbution has apacakge manager, so says every Linux user I've met since 1999 [02:13] nicknack, What release is this and desktop? [02:13] edoceo_web: yeah, I'd stick with APT where possible [02:13] edoceo_web: I beg to differ, but it depends on what you're trying to do. [02:13] So, here's the issue: libdbd-pgsql can be installed but doesn't bring in libdbi-perl [02:14] beldar this is ubuntu minimal 13.10. i have no browser to paste it to paste bin [02:14] That is a little odd. [02:14] Yea, I'm just trying to keep the machine maintainable [02:14] But dbh::pgsql doesn't always require dbi. Just most of the time. [02:14] everytime i browse in yahoo specially in mail always page cannot display [02:14] nicknack, So just the base install no desktop? [02:14] *dbd === aksdjkd is now known as miketomdool [02:14] beldar i had pantheon, but after an auto update, it doesn't boot at all. so im trying to repair the files [02:15] edoceo_web: Anyway, apt-get remove --purge libdbi-perl; apt-get install... ?

[02:17] On Gentoo the DBD-PG package brings in the DBI package, if it's not installed - I expected Ubuntu to do the same - but, whatevs I'm all good now [02:17] i dont mind doing a -f install, but idk why its pulling in things i've never installed === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [02:18] BONG_IT maybe yahoo use last version of some web editor like flashplayer and it's why you can't see your mail display, use an other email compt... like gmail [02:18] nicknack, Is pantheon, from a PPA? [02:19] JordanJ2 I don't have any more ideas for you. Are you able to provide any error messages from the guest? Last time I'll say it heh but I wouldn't rule out security on the host as the issue until I was absolutely certain-- because NAT working bridged not sounds textbook security app issue..I would disable every network/malware/fw/security service I had and try again. Is there any chance the hostname of guest is same as the host === nicknack is now known as nicknack2 [02:23] If anyone gets bored, I've got a blackscreen on login just itching to entertain! [Ubuntu 13.10] [02:23] gmail is ok in firefox also other pc's using windows has no problem in browsing in yahoo only in ubuntu had problem [02:25] BONG IT do you have a message to update your flashplayer when you go on youtube? [02:25] im curious as to how many packages can be broken from just one autoremove. theres like 300mb of stuff it downloaded [02:28] nicknack2, There is no limitation per-say, you have to be aware of dependencies and what you ad or remove. === shuduo_afk is now known as shuduo [02:28] it looks like it got rid of pantheon too. [02:29] lets hope it reboots [02:29] nicknack2 use bleachbit to clean your RAM [02:29] nope. after rebooting, when elementary-os should go up, it goes to a black screne. [02:29] nicknack2, Is pantheon from a PPA I see it as part of elemetaryOS [02:29] i mean pantheon [02:30] yes, it was working just fine up until i did a clean [02:30] nicknack2, elemetaryOS is not supported here. [02:30] now it wont boot at all. [02:30] they have a channel [02:30] pantheon is a ppa [02:30] !ppa | nicknack2 [02:30] nicknack2: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[02:31] nicknack2, Just making sure at the least you are aware of what is actually supported. [02:32] i figured you guys would know what i can do to get the system back up. [02:32] nicknack2, Well I asked for some info and gave you the method on doing so and had to repeat questions so........ [02:33] Beldar: you asked me to install pastebin, and, i was unable to get it to install until i did a -f install first. [02:33] i shall post it again, once i install it. -f just finihsed [02:34] nicknack2, I doubt I can help, with the info I have now, others may be able to though. [02:34] I would if I felt I could [02:35] grr. this schools network is a nightmare. now it wont give me an ip [02:35] nicknack2, If it were me I would install another minimal desktop like lxde so that you have one to work from if you need a gui X [02:36] yes like xubuntu or lubuntu [02:37] ill install fluxbox if need be, the system just doesn't boot up pantheon [02:37] i even tried reinstall pantheon [02:38] let me get fluxbox going so i can paste bin everything [02:38] never mind. pantheon force loads itself. [02:38] nicknack2 what is your PC P4? [02:38] nicknack2, Cool that makes sense so you can communicate with the channel easily. [02:39] i have P4 2ghz with 2gig of RAM and i use lubuntu and i do everything fast [02:40] sorry a P4 3ghz [02:40] hey i have a weird issue my monitor keeps turning off after about ten minutes or so but i have all power saving features turned off!

[02:45] is anyone aware of actively developed eye tracking software for linux (that allows one to control the mouse pointer for example) [02:46] jrib, You would need something to read your eye at the least. [02:46] Beldar: sure, using a webcam [02:47] jrib, heh I don;t think so, nice dream though. [02:47] Beldar: see opengazer and gnome-mousetrap. They're just not actively developed [02:47] get some google glasses [02:47] I will pass but thanks [02:47] jrib: http://is.gd/jUGdDU [02:48] i know nothing in that kind of eye capting [02:48] tracking [02:48] somsip: thanks, I think there's one in there that shows promise [02:49] Hey chaps, I just got a weird error. I was running a bunch of flash, display froze so I manually rebooted. When I tried to login it I entered my password and instead of going to desktop it bumped me back at the login screen. [02:49] jrib: Lots of options. I cant vouch for any of them though [02:49] I fixed the problem by removing /.Xauthority then restarting. Can someone explain to me what the hell happened? [02:50] I search someone for broke the password that have create in a small program, if someone interested contact me at... imeon.1er@gmail.com... thanks!! [02:51] the people at elementary are not very responsive. [02:51] sweet lord, what have i done. lol [02:52] someone how i think this is an xorg related issue [02:52] I just had one of those too, nick. [02:53] I dunno what your issue is though. [02:53] how can i get the original /etc/grub.d and /etc/defaults/grub files? [02:53] ResQue: maybe boot-repair? guys? [02:53] ResQue: Look in the.deb? [02:54] i thought if i installed the grub2 and grub2-common package i would get them back, but that didnt owrk [02:55] is there a way to force reinstall the package, all of it, from scratch? [02:55] ResQue: what exactly did you do? [02:55] deezed: i deleted them [02:55] deezed: by them i mean the folder /etc/grub.d/* and /etc/defaults/grub [02:56] ResQue, You trying to reinstall from the desktop or a live cd? [02:56] nicknack2 you have to erase the package first [02:56] you mean that you were running bash as root and deleted them? why? [02:56] Beldar: from the desktop [02:57] i thought the grub config files would be in the grub2 package, am i wrong? [02:57] ResQue or with a usb bootable [02:58] ResQue, sudo apt-get purge grub grub-common grub-pc && sudo apt-get install grub-common grub-pc [02:58] imeon: i dont understand the question [02:59] ResQue: did you try to run a 'dpkg-reconfigure -a' ? [02:59] sorry that was a complement of Beldar say [03:00] hey guys, I enabled OpenVPN tunneling on my server and now it won't answer, which raises all kinds of questions [03:00] the server is an OpenVPN client [03:00] deezed: now i will try that now [03:00] does enabling OpenVPN client on a device make it unresponsive to SSH via its non-VPN address? [03:01] lilred: Its possible! [03:01] lilred: Depends on what the vpn server tells its routing table to do [03:01] i've given up. idk what else i can possibly do to fix this thing. [03:02] I wonder if there is a way to enable OpenVPN client without sacrificing local access [03:03] Beldar: thank you, your method worked. i think the first time i tried to remove i used --purge and not just purge would this have done something different? [03:03] nicknack2, I would use ubuntu, I mean like lubuntu then set it up, more support in the end. [03:03] lilred: like using vpn just for some tasks? [03:03] ResQue, I never use --purge so not really sure [03:04] Beldar: ok, thanks for the help [03:04] deezed: exact;y! [03:04] ResQue, No problem. [03:04] lilred: ok, like what? [03:04] Beldar:i dont have anything that i can use to install it! [03:04] deezed: problem solved, i used Beldar apt-get purge idea. thanks for the time [03:04] deezed: Ideally I'd want the VPN to be available through some virtual network device that I can manually tell my programs to connect to [03:04] torrent client, mainly. [03:04] nicknack2, You said you used a minimal 13.10. [03:04] ResQue: good!! np [03:05] i did, but odn thave anything that i can reinstall the system with. and pantheon forces itself to load osmehow [03:05] lilred: uhm, I think you can write a script for that [03:05] idk how [03:05] nicknack2, mini is a net install you can load whatever desktop and on servers etc.... [03:05] or* [03:06] yes i know that, however, i dont have a flash drive or cd to burn it and go through a reinstall [03:06] deezed: any idea what I should put in that script? :) [03:06] nicknack2, Ah, how did you do it this time? [03:06] i was at home. now im at school [03:06] i was suppose to ge ta paper going, but that didn't work [03:06] lilred: you could tell it that the torrent program is a variable [03:06] nicknack2, If you have grub boot you can load the iso to it. [03:06] lilred: and if that variable is running; then use vpn; done [03:07] lilred: else; dont use it [03:07] done [03:07] fi [03:07] don't you think there's a way to use VPN concurrently with my other stuff?

[03:13] still trying to load elementary [03:13] lilred: you'r welcome [03:14] nicknack2, If this was a mini 13.10 install and you remove the ppa's it should set you to the base install ready for a desktop, if the base is all there.

I'm having a curious network issue, maybe someone can help. When I ping most servers, everything seems fine; no packet loss, good ping reply. But when I use any other services from the same servers, e.g. browse, then I lag from ~200ms to ~2000ms, with a transient packet loss of ~30%. Any idea? [04:03] i would say the HD, Beldar [04:03] yes1: maybe you are running others process that are using internet as well? [04:03] idk, maybe it makes sense to have the SSD as well, IDK [04:03] ccmonster, Cool, you can just have ubuntu install to the ssd, without partitioning it, the install will do it and make a swap. [04:04] ccmonster, YOU could have windows and ubuntu on the ssd. [04:04] deezed: hmm, I haven't checked that. [04:04] any snags with doing that Beldar [04:04] I will look into this. Thanks [04:05] yes1: maybe a pstree or even a ps aux can help you with that [04:05] deezed: I'm doing it right now.. [04:05] okok [04:06] ccmonster, Windows would need two partitions a boot and C, you can just make a ntfa filling up the first part with gparted and have ubuntu install along side in the rest unallocated, so that when you do the windiws install it would be the first partitions. [04:06] ntfs* [04:07] ccmonster, Windows can with a custom install not have the boot partiton if you just load it to the pre made ntfs. [04:09] ccmonster, If any of this is confusing, that is okay, just ask questions and we can walk you through it. ;) [04:10] deezed: so far, I'm averaging 5kbit/sec from my wlan. That's about it. The problem has started a few days ago. I've tested from another computer under the same connection, and the problem is similar. Anyhow, I might have to call the ISP, but I think they're "throttling" my data somehow [04:10] yes1: they always do that [04:11] ok, so as a precaution, create a ntfs partition on the ssd [04:11] at the beginning [04:11] yes1: suddenly, when you are expecting a 10mb connection, you realize its actually 5mb that you are dealing with [04:12] deezed: Yeah, I went from 1.2 meg/sec to 12k/sec now... [04:12] Beldar: how do i set up the gpt [04:12] when i go to format its asking for primary and logical etc in the live usb [04:12] yes1: lol thats so radical. [04:12] deezed: thanks for your help. pstree did show a curious process though. I'll look into that [04:12] which isn't a feature of gpt, from what I read [04:13] How do I know what partition is an ubuntu partition? [04:13] yes1: ok no problem [04:13] ccmonster, Not sure there I don't use gpt, I was coming from a msdos setup as it seemed the ssd was msdos. [04:13] I can't find my ubuntu partition in partition manager xD [04:13] Payton: Disks (gnome-disks) will tell you [04:13] SonikkuAmerica: ? [04:14] ccmonster, If you made this computer and it is new enough it probably has a uefi setup, but that is out of my area as well. [04:14] Payton: Open "Disks" from the Unity dash [04:15] i made this computer a few years ago [04:15] so, possibly not. [04:15] SonikkuAmerica: I'm trying to find my ubuntu partition in windows.. [04:15] SonikkuAmerica: So I can remove it from my other PC [04:15] SonikkuAmerica: So I can have 1 win8 and 1 ubuntu :) [04:15] Payton: Oh... Windows wouldn't be able to tell you, because it can't read Ubuntu's default filesystem (ext4) out of the box. [04:16] ccmonster, Some like gpt, it seems to have some advantages, I have not used it so I'm a msdos user primarily as far as partition tables and partitions. === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [04:16] SonikkuAmerica: Exactly, how can I find the ubuntu partiton? is there any program> [04:16] ? [04:17] Payton: you can run in ubuntu the command 'df' [04:17] ok, so if i got traditional [04:17] i just format it as a logical parition [04:17] it (ssd) [04:17] deezed: What would that do? [04:18] list your partition specifications [04:18] ccmonster, A logical is inside a extended, if you want windows on there put a ntfs big enough for it and install ubuntu in the rest of the space. === LarrySteeze is now known as LarrySteeze|Away [04:18] deezed: So then I can go back and erase the ubuntu partition on windows? [04:18] i cannot choose ntfs from the live usb in installation type [04:19] let me open gparted [04:19] Payton: I think so, but the better thing to do is to erase it from one ubuntu itself === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:19] Payton, YOU stated you would never remove linux yesterday after I spent a long time showing you how per your request. [04:19] deezed: Would It remove the GRUB menu too? [04:19] Beldar: I have two PC's xD [04:19] Beldar: I want one ubuntu one win8 [04:20] Beldar: For editing :P [04:20] Payton, you were lying yesterday basically I would not believe a word you say. [04:20] Beldar: Okai [04:20] Beldar: End of convo? [04:20] ah, you want to remove completly your ubuntu from this pc? [04:20] deezed: Yes [04:21] so start your pc from a live cd or usb ubuntu [04:22] deezed: Ok [04:22] and format everything you have on the ubuntu partitions [04:22] which you will never see from windows [04:22] deezed: How would I do that? [04:23] Hey all, looking for help. I am on 13.04, running upgrade tool for 13.10. It's completed the steps 'preparing to upgrade' 'setting new software channels' 'getting new packages' and is working on 'installing the upgrades', but in the terminal below it says (after 'setting up ... packages') '... downloading ... flashplugin ..'. While doing this additional downloading, I believe my internet died, and now that it is back, the window is still s [04:23] itting there. No way to cancel. Thoughts? [04:23] al_la: Kill the proccess [04:23] al_la: :P [04:23] argh i forgot the command for killing a process [04:24] it eould probably mess it up though... [04:24] al_la, move the window around and make sure no popups are there to start with [04:24] Payton: I dont think he has to kill anything [04:24] Beldar Comes to the rescue! [04:25] if Beldar is right [04:25] No pop-up windows hidden behind it. Window is responsive (not hanged), but the command it's executing seems to have been hanged. [04:25] hi , why localhost:631 always says my printer status is Paused - "Unplugged or turned off" when I plug my usb printer ? thanks [04:26] deezed: How would I format everything on ubuntu so it uninstalls ubuntu on this PC? [04:26] anyway the command to kill the process is killall 'process' [04:26] al_la, Are you backed up per chance stopping the upgrade portion can be problematic at times. [04:26] I feel like there's a lot of danger in killing the upgrader halfway through an upgrade... [04:26] Payton: you will format from a live cd, not from your ubuntu installed [04:27] why does XDCC SEND ppppppppppppp crash my other router on gamesurge person was pming me that on xchat with ubuntu [04:27] Beldar: Yeah, my files are backed up .. it's the installation I'd like to save :( [04:27] deezed: Live CD? I don't have a CD :P [04:27] Payton: and remember to format it on nfts [04:27] Payton: you can use a usb stick [04:27] al_la, If you stop it run in the terminal sudo apt-get -f install it may finish it. [04:29] al_la: and remember also that maybe it can be running from behind, and killing it might mess somethings up [04:29] al_la, It may be that it will not restart and you would reboot and run that from a tty or recovery terminal. [04:30] Beldar: the distribution upgrade tool uses apt-get, or do you suggest that only to fix the package it's on now? [04:30] could rather than would, lets get som other opinions though al_la [04:30] al_la: yes, I would not restart it before set the things up [04:30] okay, i got mini iso on a usb, and its installing. [04:30] i was wondering if i can get wpa_supplicant to work [04:31] the network here is kinda weird [04:32] anyone? [04:32] al_la: have you managed to close the window? [04:32] nicknack: whats the problem with network? [04:33] well, i have to install from the net, however, the network here uses wpa-epa or something [04:33] so i have to use wpa_supplicant. [04:33] deezed: I see no way to close other than killing the process, so stil open [04:33] nicknack: but the net is already running ornot? [04:33] I wonder what a sudo do-release-upgrade from terminal would do... [04:34] why wont the gparted stop scanning and actually nshow me something [04:34] deezed:no there is no network at the moment. [04:34] al_la: Do sudo apt-get update next time :P [04:34] Payton: I was updated and upgraded when I started :/ [04:34] al_la: ok, so try it... maybe if you kill it now, and just try to run the same command with apt-get that you used before, just maybe, it will start from the point it has stopped [04:35] deezed: It will skip over the already installed files :P [04:35] al_la: yes, the point is not to update again, 'coz you said it already did, right? you just have to upgrade it again [04:35] Hi [04:35] is ther ea way that i can use wpa_suppliant to start hte net [04:36] kcin: Hi [04:36] Payton: the only way that windows will read the other partition is formating it [04:36] I'm adding a drive to a vm for nfs mounting but I don't know what the "default" partition type is [04:36] ccmonster, number of possibilities, what all is on the computer drive wise right now? [04:36] Payton: so if you dont want to loose any data its better to backup [04:36] rsync is a good tool btw [04:37] kcin: which os? ubuntu right? [04:37] Beldar: nothing [04:37] it's the blank ssd, and a blank 2TB hd [04:38] Payton,deezed: giving up for the night I think :) thanks for the info [04:38] ya ubuntu [04:38] though I would hope it applies to most linuxes [04:39] ccmonster_, A bland ssd and 2 TB, is not nothing, you mentioned a big HD broken is it this one? [04:39] blank* [04:39] Dang, I need a windows recovery disc.. [04:39] D: [04:39] I don't have a CD [04:39] kcin: yes! So if I understood right your question, a default partition to linux would be ext4 or ext3 or ext2 [04:40] no the broken one is not connected [04:40] it seems that ext4 is better [04:40] ccmonster_, Is the ssd and the 2 TB brand new? [04:40] k... know the code off hand? [04:40] they are both a year old, but were in boxes [04:41] How do you show everything in the Home folder? [04:41] ccmonster_, Might not have partition tables, how long has or did gparted run, where are you at as for as running gparted right now? [04:41] there was no partition [04:42] Mongo44ctrl-h [04:42] figured that wouldn't be a problem [04:42] MobGod: in bash it would be ll, or ls -lah [04:42] ccmonster_, right but that does not answer my question nor reference partition table. [04:42] or just ls -lh [04:42] its just runing [04:42] im trying to get wpa_supplicant going, except when i set eap=PEAP it fails [04:42] showing 'scanning all devices' in the status bar on the bottom [04:43] says its incorrect [04:43] kcin: what? [04:43] ccmonster_, how long now has it been running? [04:43] this time, about 2 minutes. [04:43] it ran last time for 5+ [04:43] Is it possible to remove linux partitions without a recovery disc? [04:44] And uninstall ubuntu [04:45] Payton: would you be mad with me if I give you this advice: dont uninstal linux. Uninstal windows. [04:45] ccmonster_, I would assume that gparted even on a 2 TB hd, even if it had no partition table finish by now, notice I said assume. If it were me I would stop gparted and close it and unplug the big HD and try again with gparted. [04:45] any help? [04:45] deezed: Remember, I have two PC's one with ubuntu as a main OS and this one that I want running just win8 [04:46] ok, unplugged the big hdd, so now it's just the ssd [04:46] nicknack: but you are trying to start a PEAP connection? [04:46] let's see what happens [04:46] yes [04:47] hello I booted from a live CD so I could allocate more space to my /dev/sda1 partition. I see that I have 13 gigs of unallocated space, but when I go to resize /dev/sda1 the maximum size doesn't include the unallocated space [04:47] well I don't see ext4 in the list under fdisk.... I kinda thought it was ext somthing but I don't see any ext listed [04:47] How do you show more in the Home folder? [04:47] yes, Payton, thats what I'm saying. Instead of trying a win8, which is not free and so "spy", you should try another distro on this other machine. like debian, or triskel, which is ubuntu based, or even Parabola, or fedora, I dont know [04:48] Mongo44: open terminal, and digit: ls -lah [04:48] enter [04:48] deezed: yes i want to start peap. otherwise, the connection wont work [04:48] deezed: I'm using dual boot so I have win8 and ubuntu xD [04:48] http://hotgirlsinyogapantss.blogspot.com/2013/12/pulling-them-up.html [04:48] deezed: I want this one without ubuntu so I have one PC with ubuntu and one With win8 [04:48] nicknack: oh, so you will have to edit your wpa_supplicant script to put your certificate and your right user/pass [04:49] deezed:it looks likeit looks like there is another connection. [04:49] idkw hats running [04:49] Payton: lol, so you know what is the price for having just windows 8? formating... [04:49] =/ [04:49] how can i kill any connection in the minimal install [04:50] deezed: How do I format xD [04:50] Payton: I just said: go to a live usb and format with gparted [04:50] Blaster, open gparted and take a screenshot of it and imagebin it. [04:51] deezed:the info is correct [04:51] however, peap seems to not work [04:51] deezed: Uninstalling ubuntu... from ubuntu? ... wut [04:52] nicknack: uhm, I dont know what can it be.. maybe if you pastebin the logs? [04:52] Beldar: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=15960 [04:52] Payton: yes, kind of [04:52] Payton: did you understand that its not from your own ubuntu? but a live cd [04:52] I mean in the My Computer equivalent. [04:53] deezed: I'm confused, I need someone to show me xD [04:53] oh I get it [04:53] ext4 is the format type [04:53] Blaster, You have an extended sda2 right after sda1, so sda1 can't move without dealing with sda2. [04:53] what's the partition type though... dos? [04:54] its saying the reaosn it d/c is reason 3 [04:54] usually that means there is another connection, right? [04:54] Beldar: Yeah, I read that. How do I deal with it? [04:54] kcin: yes, ext4.. [04:54] Payton: are you kidding? [04:54] deezed: Nope [04:54] deezed: I'm new to partitioning [04:54] Blaster, You can delete it or move it to the right, did it have a swap in it? [04:54] unless im doing something wrong, eap=PEAP right? [04:55] Payton: ok, so how did you installed ubuntu? [04:55] Beldar: Yes it does, but I don't see any options in GParted for moving it. It appears locked [04:55] nicknack: actually PEAP means Protected eap [04:55] deezed: I got Beldar To help xD [04:55] I think [04:55] so where does a disk tell you it's format type? lwhw -C disk seems to say only partition type [04:55] deezed:but why wont it run? [04:55] it says that eap=PEAP could nt parse or w/e [04:56] username and id are correct, triple checked [04:56] What is the key combo to show more in the file system? [04:56] nicknack: is your certificate right? [04:56] Beldar: My extended partition says "Busy (At least one logical partition is mounted)" [04:56] im using the same config as before [04:56] it worked fine then [04:56] Blaster, You need to unmount the sda2 right click it right on the edge of then green outline and unmount. [04:56] the* [04:56] kcin: maybe a fdisk -l [04:57] Beldar: It doesn't let me [04:57] All the right click options are grayed out [04:57] that's the known partition types & what got me confused in the 1st place [04:57] it lists things like hfs & stuff [04:57] Beldar: This is a VM inside VBox, that might make a difference [04:57] deezed: Ok lets make this easier [04:57] Blaster, It looks like there is a swap in there but I see no swap indicated in the left panel, and I know nothing about a vm. [04:58] deezed: Could I make my PC boot up a VirtualBox VM from startup? [04:58] xD [04:58] er vlm [04:58] Payton: why? [04:58] Beldar: I found this article about it http://www.rootusers.com/use-gparted-to-increase-disk-size-of-a-linux-native-partition/ [04:58] failed to parse PEAP [04:58] oh, I got it why.. you installed it from a vm [04:58] man, im so behind on my final, im royally FAKED [04:58] deezed: So I don't have to use all of my RAM on windows and ubuntu, just ubuntu [04:59] Payton: do you have a free usb to use there? [04:59] deezed: Free USB? you mean a USB with free space? [04:59] says unknown eap method peap you may need to add support for this eap method during wpa build time ocnfiguration [05:00] Payton: no, I mean usb that you can format [05:00] nicknack: what are you trying to do [05:00] deezed: I have no clue.. [05:00] Payton: what? [05:00] Blaster, are you right clicking on either the brownish red inside the sda or on the green box for the unmount, try both. [05:00] deezed: I don't know.. [05:00] sda2* [05:00] how do i get eap support for wpa_supplicant!? [05:01] Payton: ok, so another way [05:01] Beldar: I tried both. The only enabled options are Swapoff, Manage Flags, and Information. [05:01] Payton: you still have your ubuntu iso right? [05:01] nicknack: I think you had the same error as this? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=72071 [05:02] deezed: Yes, on my USB [05:02] can someone please just tell me how to get this thing working. please!? [05:02] lol, ok [05:02] nicknack: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/en/man5/wpa_supplicant.conf.5.html [05:02] so go on Virtual Box, start an ubuntu from there [05:02] deezed: Already loaded [05:02] and see if you can format your ubuntu partition from there [05:02] Blaster, try the swap off, The strange part is that there should be a swap partiiton notated in the lower list, I see just a extended, and no operations pending. [05:03] which means, open gparted [05:03] or partition manager [05:03] somsip:i am using password instead of phrase [05:03] (from ubuntu) [05:03] What does swapoff do? [05:03] Ben64:my config is correc,t im sure of it but PEAP is not build in support it seems [05:03] nicknack: ok [05:03] Beldar ^ [05:03] somsip: do you know how to get PEAP support? [05:04] Blaster, turns the swap off we want to see that key disappear in the list below [05:04] Ubuntu release upgrade won't work because of the bleeding edge PPAs, is it correct? [05:04] deezed: No, I want virtualBox to start ubuntu on startup xD and if I want to change back to win8 on start then i can change using f12 [05:04] osubuntu, You need to turn them off and maybe use a ppa-purge to remove to upgrade at times. [05:04] Beldar: ok yeah it worked, now I have the option to Delete the linux-swap [05:05] Is ppa-purge also 3rd party software or in custom PPA? [05:05] nicknack: no, I don't. [05:05] Blaster, Cool go for it, and leave a space at the end of the sda1 resize for a swap if needed, do the delete and resize in separate runs. [05:05] osubuntu: it will work, but it is recomended not to use third party repositories [05:05] does anyone know how to get peap support? i cant connect to the net without it [05:06] Payton: sorry, I dont get you. do you want to take ubuntu off or not? [05:06] haihaihai [05:06] Beldar: Not sure what to do from here... http://www.rootusers.com/use-gparted-to-increase-disk-size-of-a-linux-native-partition/ [05:07] Whoops I mean [05:07] http://imgur.com/k8x9yUD [05:07] iam installing ltsp on ubuntu but in application server and client get same ip [05:08] Blaster, delete the extended now for some reason that swap was not showing. [05:08] Blaster: (Hit the check mark up top) [05:08] Blaster, You have to hit the green arrow to make it run . [05:09] not arrow but check yeah [05:09] deezed: I did before, not knowing that I need the win8 disc that didn't come with my win8 pc xD [05:09] deezed: Now I want VBox to start up ubuntu on PC startup [05:09] can someone please tell me how to get peap support for the minmal install of ubuntu. otherwise, i cant install the system, nor, finish this final [05:10] Beldar: how much space should I leave for the extended partition? [05:10] sorry Payton, I wish I could help you, but given you history I can't anymore.. ask anyone else [05:10] Beldar: ☑ :) [05:10] Blaster, enough to have a swap equal to the ram you have for the OS. [05:10] nicknack: What have you tried so far? [05:11] Beldar: so the swap stores RAM data mostly? [05:12] Blaster, swap does multiple things, it allows hibernate if equal or slightly larger than the ram amount, and is used when the ram gets to a certain point of use. === kevin is now known as Guest93588 [05:12] Blaster: Swap is backup RAM, RAM doesn't exactly get used up but if so many processes use up your RAM, your system will go into backup mode or Use Swap. [05:13] Cool [05:13] RAM=Random access memory [05:13] Blaster, I could not give you a definite total use of swap is all, I doubt few here could. [05:13] !swap [05:13] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [05:13] So here's what I have now ... http://imgur.com/f88mF58 - do I need to allocate the unallocated? === nicknack is now known as xvee [05:14] xvee: peap is in my ubuntu, what are you running? [05:14] Blaster, Remove the extended run and just do the resize first. [05:15] An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. so this can be solved by ppa-purge ? [05:15] Blaster, You have to be careful with running multiple things in a row with gparted. [05:15] oh yeah, why's that? [05:15] guys, please. just help me get this internet up, and i wont bug you. pinkie promise! [05:15] I will run the grow operation by itself [05:16] Alt+SysRq+H does nothing? [05:16] it is supposed to show help messages :( [05:16] Blaster, gparted has a limited measurement of sizes on a hd is all. [05:16] oh ok [05:16] so I have this 1GB unallocated. If I allocate it to an extended drive, it still says unallocated below it [05:16] do I have to allocate it twice, like it was before? [05:17] bye guys [05:17] can someone please just help me get PEAP to work on the minimal version of ubuntu [05:18] Blaster, run the resize and be sure you still have 1 gig unallocated. The swap inside of it you make will be smaller, and again may be limited to gparteds abilty to read sizes. [05:18] Blaster, I'm not sure you need an extended for a swap either === james_ is now known as Guest23598 [05:19] xvee: peap is in my ubuntu, what are you running? [05:19] Beldar: This is how it originally looked, http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=15960, and this is how it looks now, http://imgur.com/uZVHABq - does it look correct? [05:19] Ben64:im on ubuntu minmal, during the install stage [05:19] however, because my school network requires it, i cant connect to the network [05:19] and with that, cant install anything [05:20] Blaster, remove the extended making process and resize first do not run both. [05:20] ok [05:21] Ben64:what can i do to get that booger working [05:21] do I need a logical drive as a child to my extended partition? [05:22] Blaster, a logical is what is inside an extended. As far as what can be put on that space as of now you have not exceeded the 3 primaries, needing a extended for more than one additional logicals. [05:23] I have a desktop! But nothing else. No icons, no windows--even ctrl+alt+T doesn't bring anything up. How do I fix Ubuntu 13.10 so that I have a desktop environment? (my background shows perfectly) [05:23] Beldar: Well, it looks like it worked. Thanks for your help. [05:24] i guess its not possible, then.... [05:25] How do I find alternative group chats?

I've tried the LiveCD version and it hangs on the screen where I can choose to either Try Ubuntu or Install it and the net install version right when it starts detecting disks. How can I fix this? [05:27] Intii, which version are you trying to install? [05:27] net isntall is 13.10 and livecd is 13.04 both 64-bit [05:27] I'm on a Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of ram [05:30] Can someone give me a keyword for me being able to log in and see my desktop, but I can't open any windows/see any icons? (keyboard & mouse are responsive). Eg, "desktop environment" or "gnome" or "UIWL, the Ubuntu Icon-Window Layer"--without error messages, I'm having a tough time googling! [05:31] ObrienDave [05:33] Helasraizam: If you log out and back in, don't restart, are they there? [05:34] no (both with ctrl+alt+F1 [relogin?] and ctrl+alt+bksp [restart x server]) [05:35] Helasraizam: What version are you running? [05:35] 13.10 === shuduo_afk is now known as shuduo [05:36] Intii, This a dual boot and if so with what and its release? === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [05:36] No dual boot, clean HDD [05:36] 13.10 (netinstall) and 13.04 (livecd) Beldar [05:37] Intii, Have you checked the sum of the iso? Does this HD have any unallocated space, any partitions there now? [05:37] No no partitions [05:37] Intii, It has a partition table? you check the sum of the iso? [05:38] Beldar: I have checked the sum of the iso [05:38] And there is no partition table [05:38] Intii, table? [05:38] Beldar, None [05:39] Intii, Ah, has to have a partition table, not sure on making one from the mini the live would just be gparted. [05:39] Beldar: It has to have a partition table before installing? [05:39] Helasraizam: Can you check if you have unity-scope-home installed? [05:39] afaik, you need at least a partition table [05:39] Intii, has to have a table to have partitions [05:39] Beldar: The installer hangs before I can even create partitions [05:40] Intii, because you have no table [05:40] Okay, I can create one with the LiveCD correct? If I go into the Try Ubuntu mode? [05:40] Intii, Can't have dinner without a table, so to speak. [05:40] lol [05:41] Intii, Yeah you can do it with gparted [05:41] live cd [05:41] I don't know if this matters, but it did have a Window partition before I cleared it and it was still hanging then [05:41] Anyone recommed some good Linux Sites? [05:41] nick4me: yes, it's installed [05:42] Intii, Ah what windows release? [05:42] 7 [05:42] does ubuntu base come with nouveau or nvidia drivers? [05:42] Studio Xfce v12.04.3 LTS 64 bit installed.. under Power Manager, On AC, Actions, slider "Put computer to sleep when inactive for". what's Xfce's definition of "Sleep"? like Hibernate, Stand by, Hibernate or Suspend, and might it be dangerous on an older computer? [05:42] Intii, this computer ever have W8 or gpt partitons? [05:43] waykool: i think it might be suspend to RAM [05:43] Beldar: Not that I know off. Unless the default Window 7 is gpt partitioned, but I doubt it [05:43] MBR most probabbly [05:43] hibernate is really a hit and miss [05:43] ah ok. ty krz [05:43] but dont quote me on that [05:43] Intii, well lets find out you on the live now? [05:43] waykool: There are two options, suspend and hibernate [05:43] this is how it is setup in debian at least [05:43] by default [05:44] Beldar: booting into it as we speak [05:44] the same may be for archlinux [05:44] Intii, Cool use this app to run just the create bootinfo summary and paste the url here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [05:45] v11.04 i read OS's were steering away from using Hibernate because it was messing up some OEM machines [05:45] I need to install an old version of mono (2.6.7) onto 12.4 precise….do I compile is all from source…is that my only option to get it installed? [05:45] Intii, the bootinfo running makes a url for you [05:45] Beldar: Okay give me a sec [05:45] hello, I want to use intel integrated graphics and my amd dedicated gpu on my desktop. Once i install the amd card only the monitor connected to it displays something [05:45] Intii, no prob I'm just hanging [05:45] if i remove the amd card the intel integrated works fine again [05:46] waykool: If you click on "Log Out" you should see the suspend option. You can try it and see for yourself if it works. [05:46] waykool: (Works ok on my laptops) [05:46] I disabled all custom ppas but it says An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. [05:47] osubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [05:47] osubuntu, You using any graphic driver ppa's [05:47] ok. rather do it now than mess up when i got 3 TB of valuable client projects piled up. [05:47] I only use open-sourced ones [05:47] osubuntu, xswat? [05:47] xswat? [05:47] osubuntu, ppa's can have open source [05:48] i mean [05:48] i only use open source drivers [05:48] Beldar: The whole system froze running the app. It's stuck on Scanning systems (os-prober) [05:49] how do i get more info then "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade." when using do-release-upgrade? [05:49] osubuntu, That does not answer the question, look through the ppa's and see if any are for graphic drivers open source has nothing to do with this. [05:50] Helasraizam: Maybe 3D issues? http://askubuntu.com/questions/384020/fresh-install-of-13-10-left-with-no-dash-nor-apps-only-blank-magenta-wallpap [05:50] Beldar, I disabled all custom ppas [05:50] Intii, Hmm, is this HD in good shape? It may be with no partitions it will not just tell us the partition table. [05:50] Beldar: Yeah it should be... [05:50] It was running Windows 7 fine [05:50] osubuntu, Yea I know, however you have stuff installed from them, most likely that is the problem. [05:50] i never used xswat [05:50] will the next LTS be 14.04 or 15.04? [05:51] waykool: 14.04 [05:51] 14.04 [05:51] aljosa_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/360293/could-not-calculate-the-upgrade-what-happened [05:51] smiles thank you. [05:51] osubuntu, We had a user the other day here with ppa's same error, it was a graphic driver ppa that was the problem/ [05:51] Beldar, i did ppa-purge xorg-edgers / ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [05:52] Hi everyone, I am getting this 'Authentication is needed to run /usr/bin/dropbox as the super user'. I have been using dropbox for quite some time now, and it's the first time I'm seeing this message. [05:52] osubuntu, ppa-purge was used? [05:52] osubuntu: pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [05:52] osubuntu: run the commands that Ben64 is giving you to. [05:52] Ben64, in sudo shell, LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ? [05:53] Intii, can you open gparted and take a screenshot and imagebin it. [05:53] osubuntu: thats not what i said at all... [05:53] Beldar: Yeah gimmie a sec gotta reboot [05:54] Ben64, my native language is korean [05:54] osubuntu: right, but why are you running stuff as root? [05:54] sudo -s [05:54] don't do that [05:54] bad habit [05:54] ironic.. 14.04 LTS releases the same month Microsoft ends support for windows xp. [05:55] Well, this is actually an rare occasion [05:55] i usually do sudo apt-get update [05:55] well.. [05:55] waykool, gives two reasons to pop the champagne [05:55] waykool: windows needs to end support for xp :P [05:55] waykool: it's time to move on lol [05:56] Is it possible to stream stdout to two or more files? [05:56] How can I get intel integrated and amd dedicated gpu to both display? the intel integrated works fine before i installed the amd card [05:56] I want one to paste it to pastebin, and one to terminal output [05:56] or do i have to copy the terminal window [05:56] !pastebinit | osubuntu [05:56] osubuntu: 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 === aljosa_ is now known as aljosa [05:57] osubuntu, That just sends it to pastebin though [05:57] Beldar, i mean, there must be some question wilest doing apt-get [05:57] so i have to use --force-yes or yes | command ? [05:58] big problem might occur- Vista win 7 and win 8 are based on XP. any new security vulnerabilities on XP (which most certainly will happen) will likely affect Vista 7 and 8. [05:58] nick4me: Thanks! My desktop env. choices are only "GNOME" and "Ubuntu (default)". For whatever reason, I can now see icons--the windows don't have a frame around them (with the close (x)/maximize ([])/minimize (-)) and I still can't start my own windows (eg by double-clicking a folder or ctrl+alt+t). How would I advance? [05:58] might be easier to copy+paste terminal osubuntu [05:58] okay [05:58] osubuntu, I don't know them myself, and personally want user to stick with waht is asked myself. [05:58] waykool: not on topic here, you could ask that in ##windows [05:58] but some lines might be cut [05:59] Beldar Ben64, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6549555/ is apt-get update [06:00] I wonder if the package tree is broken... :( [06:00] very true, not on topic. i don't use MS but guessing many in here might be. [06:00] Beldar: http://imgur.com/r8zoGaj [06:00] waykool, Any OS is as safe as the user makes it. [06:01] great point Beldar [06:01] hrmm im running into a problem with openjdk-6-jre on ubuntu 12.04 and log-hostnames.. [06:01] er long [06:01] Intii, That the gnome only live? [06:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6549555/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/6549565/ [06:01] http://pastie.org/8541370 [06:02] Beldar: yeah [06:02] I think I'm seeing a really old bug in java6.. but im wondering whether there is a fix in ubuntu12 somewhere? [06:02] some updated package..etc [06:02] Ben64, Beldar, Sorry for this, can you help me why the distribution upgrade is not working? Here is the apt-get update and upgrade log : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6549555/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/6549565/ [06:02] Afaik Java 6 is no longer supported [06:02] osubuntu: all looks fine there [06:03] yeah [06:03] dpkg --configure -a doesn't solve this either [06:03] or sudo apt-get -f install [06:03] Intii, Cool I use the shell, I would make a new table-device-create partition table and choose msdos, then try the install. [06:03] Helasraizam: Did you change to unity 2d and the icons came back? [06:04] nick4me: I don't have "Unity2d" as a boot option, only Gnome and Ubuntu (default); the icons are back in both [06:04] Beldar: Is it still supposed to say Unallocated after I do that? [06:04] Nobody could help me? :( [06:04] then ill send there a bug report... [06:04] Intii, yep [06:05] Beldar: As soon as I choose a language and click Continue the system freezes [06:06] Intii, Not sure than, this a live on a usb or cd or dvd? [06:06] Beldar: DVD [06:06] osubuntu: So you are wanting to go from 13.04 to 13.10? [06:06] yes [06:07] raring to saucy [06:07] Is there a quick and easy way to configure Grub in 13.10? I seem to remember there being an old graphical tool that would let you set background images and add menu entries and such. [06:07] Helasraizam: In the Ubuntu (default), try unity --replace in a terminal [06:07] Intii, I have seen iso's correct with a sum check and not work, and if burned to fast problems as well, just have to guess somewhat here. I assume the computer is powerful enough and all the hardware works. [06:07] osubuntu: Ok. I'll give you two pieces of advise, in the form of what I do and do not do. I do not use backports. I use LTS only. [06:07] LTS i see [06:08] LongTermSupport [06:08] osubuntu: Yes [06:08] Disable backports. And? [06:08] Oh [06:08] stick with LTS [06:08] Beldar: Yeah its got a Core 2 Duo 4GB of ram ran Win7 just fine. I've used this DVD before to install Ubuntu w/o problems [06:08] lol [06:08] osubuntu: (I like stuf that works.) [06:08] but is it possible to go from one LTS to another LTS in one step? [06:09] Intii, strange place to freeze is all, not sure really. [06:09] osubuntu: Yes [06:09] How do i stop the screen from shutting off during install from a oen drive [06:09] Pen* [06:09] Beldar: is there anything else I can do? [06:09] do-release-upgrade only upgrades to the version immediately released after current version [06:09] 12.04 -> 12.10 is possible but 12.04 -> 13.10 isn't possible in one upgrade [06:10] osubuntu: It depends on if you are set to LTS or not. [06:10] Intii, I would not rely on this disc working before as empirical data is all, if it were me I would do a new download and try a usb and or reburn the dvd. [06:10] ok [06:10] It says Err http://security.ubuntu.com sausy-security/main blah blah [06:10] Beldar: I have 3 different discs of Ubuntu...none of them work [06:10] It keeps shitting the screen off and i dont know ehy [06:11] it fails to load all saucy ppas [06:11] in apt update of do-release-upgrade [06:11] osubuntu: What does grep Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades say? [06:11] Intii, For me this is a knock out the possible variables, you have any usb's? [06:11] Wait apt-get is still in progress === Guest92281 is now known as ccmonater [06:11] Beldar, none at the moment [06:11] Beldar any ideas ? [06:11] Intii, I would look up installs with this version and that computer as well [06:12] osubuntu: Ok, well, I've given you *my* advise. [06:12] okay [06:12] ccmonater, not really. [06:13] Anyone know how to stop tje screen from shutting off durong install [06:13] Beldar, okay I'll continue this tomorrow...getting late. Thanks for all your help ! [06:13] Intii, Might need a kernel tweak or something, I have rarely had a problem, so mainly know these areas. [06:13] noapci? [06:13] Beldar [06:14] Intii, Not sure since I have not had to do it, could be that or another. [06:14] ccmonater: look at bios settings ... [06:14] What bios setting should i look for [06:14] Okay Beldar, I'll try that out. Thanks! [06:16] Intii, no prob, sorry we could not get it done. [06:17] Beldar, no worries! [06:17] Take care! [06:17] you ti [06:17] to* [06:19] Hi, Does anyone know of a good voice or noise activated audio/video recording program? [06:22] what do you mean by noise/voice activated?

[08:26] then* [08:27] jinppk, nope. gone is gone. resintalled the lightdm-kde-greeter should fix. reboot to test [08:28] its currently installed and boots ok [08:28] but it wasnt installed befor i installed kubuntu-desktop which is a dep of. [08:29] jinppk, ah, I see. so lightdm-kde is running not the default ubuntu-lightdm? [08:29] To be honest im not sure what lightdm is so i dont know [08:30] oh [08:30] jinppk, it's the purdy picturz and lightz when you start your buntu [08:30] when it boots up the login screen is not the original ubuntu one, sometimes it is the kde one and sometimes it is just white [08:31] Yep. so that must be the issue. [08:31] jinppk, right. there's a way to reset it back, but you have to do it manually. search for "set default lightdm" or similar terms [08:31] how do i get rid of the KDE one and get the Ubuntu(unity?) one back [08:32] ok thanks [08:35] jinppk, what release? [08:35] 13.10 [08:35] im trying dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [08:35] after remocing the kde greeter [08:36] hi. I use Docky, but since some time ago I can't get it to hide properly. [08:36] whatever option I choose, autohide, intellihide and window dodge - it just sits there. [08:36] jinppk, Ah, well there is a website that has whole package lists for removal, but only up to 13.04 at this time. In the future when you install a desktop save a list of the packages installed. [08:38] haha yes [08:38] i shoudl have, i figured it would log it [08:39] and i took the list from there [08:39] but i think the issue is some config stuff [08:39] Im going to try and reboot, so dont send me any msgs!

[10:24] imo, nothing comes close to SolidWorks [10:25] exit [10:25] ObrienDave, I'm starting to get the impression from my research. Maybe I'll mess around with Vmware and Wine. I've got a AW Aurora, so I have enough power to VM it. [10:28] Never could get SolidWorks to run under Wine. gave up trying :/ [10:28] I'm using lubuntu, but perhaps someone will know. How do I minimize a fullscreen game? [10:29] (uses sdl) [10:29] ObrienDave, Yeah, I'm seeing its listed as garbage. I've got iTunes on Vmware unity, I'll have to see if SW can handle being VM-ed. [10:30] nictrasavios, let me know if you do. good luck ;) [10:32] I'll have to see if I can script VMware Workstation to start on boot in unity mode. [10:33] I forgot my irc password, how can I recover it? (I know this is off-topic, but I don't know where else to ask) [10:33] i've install fail2ban.. the log said that the unban but i stil cant login.. i think the iptables don't accept my connection [10:33] k === ubuntu is now known as KeyboardFail [10:33] sazawal, ##freenode will send it to your registered email [10:33] sazawal, or make a new one [10:33] Beldar, whom to ask in that room? [10:34] JesseH: That's application-specific, sadly [10:34] sazawal, just ask [10:34] it's all mods [10:34] My keyboard and mouse do not work when i boot ubunut, it stops working at the GDM login screen, and it also fails to work if i do a kernal recovery boot boot. it works if i boot from the ubuntu live cd though. I have no idea how to fix this can someone please help [10:34] Beldar, ok thanks [10:35] KeyboardFail, Has it always been this way? [10:35] Beldar: no, this install has been working fine for days. [10:35] KeyboardFail, So any links as to why the change? [10:35] KeyboardFail: Does it work if you select an older kernel version from the Grub boot menu? [10:36] are all i5 processors 64bit compatible? [10:36] Danato: Yes [10:36] Rory: i did not try that, i can reboot now and check [10:36] Rory: thanks [10:36] hi, if i do "ls" and "env -i ls" ls doesn't use the same order [10:36] Beldar: i did update the grub config file early today, i changed the gfxmode to 1440x900x32, before it was not set [10:37] Danato, If they are 3rd gen or above. [10:37] I failed to found wich env variable mess with ls [10:37] does someone know which env variable I should remove to have the same order than "env -i ls"? [10:37] Beldar: i also had a look in the xorg log and there does not seem to be any errors, in fact i can clearly see it find both the keyboard and track pad mouse [10:38] nictrasavios: so does that mean that not every single i5 is 64bit compatible? or does it mean that i5 are all 3rd gen or above? [10:39] also the computer does not crash at the GDM login screen, i can see the cursor blinking, and i can use the power button to do a normal shutdown. it just seems as though GDM or xorg isnt getting any input [10:39] Danato, If you get a really old i5, it may not be. But if its a computer made since the sandy-bridge gen came out, your safe. (Which is every computer on the market today). [10:39] Hey. Can anyone recommend a good desktop environment for multi monitor? When I plug in/unplug my monitor in Unity my windows go all over the place and it takes me a long time to find them all again. [10:39] nictrasavios: thanks for that [10:39] KeyboardFail, I would check the kernel as suggested, generally you change grub in /etc/default/grub not sure of what you did as a cause, you can chroot from a live cd though and fix that if needed. [10:40] Danato, Actually, some i5's are 4th gen haswells now. Watch out for that. In general, i5 4th gen > i5 3rd gen. [10:40] tovarish: What's the output of "type ls" [10:40] Beldar: ok, i will use the live cd and reset the grub config back to the default and i will also try another kernel. thanks [10:40] Rory, ls is aliased to `ls --color=auto -F' [10:40] Rory: going to try your kernel idea now, thanks [10:41] tovarish: if you run \ls instead of ls, do you get the same as env -i ls ? [10:41] Rory, nope it change nothing (I have unalias ls temporary) [10:42] tovarish: that's what \ls does, btw, it bypasses the alias [10:42] I know [10:42] today I have to alias ls with env -i ls to have a correct sort order [10:42] but I really want to understand what broke my ls [10:43] tovarish: can you show me the output of "printenv" [10:43] Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel [10:43] jpentland, I personally have three monitors and prefer cinnamon since unity makes all three monitors look asymmetric, but I have no experience in unplugging and plugging in frequently, I just know that it seems to handle them better. (No mouse stick or awkward workspace bugs). [10:44] nictrasavios: You can disable sticky edges in screen options btw [10:44] Rory, But then I miss the launcher. [10:44] nictrasavios: perhaps KDE? [10:44] nictrasavios, hmm ok. I have a laptop with a large monitor so unplugging is the main use-case. I also have 8 workspaces which kind of amplifies the problem. === xerxas_ is now known as xerxas [10:45] Rory, Cinnamon works best, without all the bloat. [10:45] Rory, http://lpaste.net/96816 [10:45] jpentland, Hmm, well if nobody else has an answer then I'd say try cinnamon. But someone else may know better. [10:45] tovarish: Could you show me an example of differing output from "ls" and "env -i ls" ?

[10:51] KeyboardError, cool. [10:51] Rory, Merci! [10:53] v v [10:53] Beldar: i think the error may have something todo with i moved the (hd0,gpt4)/boot to (hd0,gpt1)/ and didnt update fstab, its a long shot but grub-install and grub-mkconfig did something and running them agian fixed it. thanks again [10:53] If I can open and work on SegFault in SolidWorks VM without my computer becoming a lethargic sloth... then I dub thee success.

I should not have any issue putting those on a 128MB CF card [11:00] but thank you very much for your help [11:00] tovarish: np, hope you can use that information somehow [11:00] I will [11:01] tovarish: perhaps alias ls to LANG=C ls --colors=auto -F [11:01] Rory: guess you can't help me without the output [11:02] Off topic, but does anybody know where I can get a monitor mount that can handle 3 27", and hang down from the ceiling like one of those dentist arms? I may build one of those.

[11:04] NuSuey: Do you have the AMD drivers installed from Additional Drivers tool? [11:04] Venko, create a virus that will disable the alien invader's defense system [11:04] Venko: hook it up to a Freedom Tower and spread free internet [11:04] Rory, yes you're right it's LANG and not XTERM_LOCALE which break ls, (How could I fail at testing) [11:04] tovarish: In your defense, it's not obvious [11:05] Keep the suggestions coming. I'm sure we'll get one I like eventually [11:05] Venko: Host an eternal dedicated server of Wings 2 [11:05] Rory: I don't use the proprietary gpu drivers, they are giving me headaches.. but as far as I understood, since the problem is in the internal GPU output (since I'm using the HDMI output on the mainboard) the problem isn't with the AMD drivers, but the Intel ones? everything works on 13.10 .. but not on 12.04.. the problem is - what is missing in 12.04 [11:06] NuSuey: Oh I see. Probably an Intel graphics driver in the kernel [11:07] hello [11:07] Rory: well .. I used the same kernel 3.12 on 13.10 and 3.12 on 12.04 .. 13.10 detected the monitors, the 12.04 didnt [11:07] I'm not sure then NuSuey [11:07] !hi | wekalaner [11:07] aww did that command go? [11:08] Rory: sry will go to lunch, brb in 30 min :/ if you have any idea.. just msg me [11:08] if i install the current version of ubuntu, will it be possible to upgrade to the new LTS in 2014 as soon as it comes out? in your experience, can i expect that the upgrade will work without a lot of problems? also, does the ubuntu installer allow me to use full disk encryption or do i have to do everything by hand? [11:08] wekalaner: You can upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04, and from 13.10 to 14.04 [11:08] wekalaner: You can do full-disk encryption automatically by selecting that option as part of the guided partiotioner in the installer === EYEARH is now known as ir601 [11:09] hi [11:09] ive just updated ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10 and my wifi is no longer working [11:09] can you ssh console command another remote computer with ubuntu default install? or do you got to install software [11:09] ir601: What wifi device do you have? [11:09] malt: You need to install openssh-server on the target system [11:10] wekalaner, and I can teach you how to make your computer reply with "Access Denied" and "Access Granted" instead of "cryptsetup: - blah blah blah" [11:10] malt: The client-side program "ssh" is already installed [11:10] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame_ [11:10] is the error [11:10] its a ra link i belive [11:10] nictrasavios: Can you make it do this? http://rory.sh/403.html [11:10] ir601: Do you have another way of accessing the Internet on that device?

[11:20] no [11:20] is a bug [11:20] Nprog, What kinda bug? [11:20] I've heard that before, this morning [11:20] nictrasavios: Can you provide some details on what actual problem you're experiencing?

[11:22] how can I set the execution order of an init.d script? [11:22] rory [11:22] on 12.04 [11:22] that completed succesfully [11:22] Brandano: What do you mean by execution order? [11:22] like the image [11:22] ir601: OK, do you have wifi now? [11:23] wow! [11:23] thanks man!!!!!! [11:23] Nprog: Can you describe your issue, bearing in mind we can't see what you can see? We only know what you tell us [11:23] oh wait it d/c [11:23] No problem, glad I could help :) [11:23] oh [11:23] reboot ftw :P [11:23] Rory: I have created a new init script for ASSP, an SMTP proxy. I'd like it to start after MySQL and Clamd hve been already started [11:23] lol ok 1 sec [11:23] Nprog, Alright, I'm not following. Can you please describe the situation in detail? [11:24] rory what was the cause? [11:24] Rory: I need some upstart documentation, I guess [11:24] out of date wifi drivers from 13.04? [11:24] I do not know how to say, just like the picture so [11:25] Brandano: You can edit /etc/init/your_script.conf and change its "start on" clause to include "and started mysql" [11:25] hi, what is the best way to replace lshd with openssh? [11:25] !upstart | Brandano [11:25] Brandano: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:25] i.e. how to stop the lshd service permanently, or star the openssh permanently [11:25] !find lshd [11:25] (i.e. preserving the state after boot) [11:25] !cn > Nprog [11:25] File lshd found in lsh-server [11:25] Nprog, please see my private message [11:26] install lsh-server lpapp [11:26] bazhang: huh?

[11:28] ir601: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/11/linux-kernel-3-12-released-install-ubuntu-or-linux-mint/ [11:28] bazhang: it is already installed, but like I said, that is not enough. [11:28] lets give this a wack [11:29] bazhang: the lshd service has to disabled, and the openssh has to be enabled. [11:29] lpapp, then detail your requirements [11:29] or you are claiming to reinstall the package because that will set the right service up? [11:31] thanks Rory [11:31] wekalaner: /np [11:31] oh that doesn't work, I can't weechat [11:31] No problem, glad I could help :) [11:32] Given that y is inversely proportional to x, when y = 5 when x = 7, find the value of x when y = 70 [11:32] Rory, would you like to help?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [11:32] I have an Math exam tomorrow. [11:32] i had installed debian wheezy over the weekend, however, my i217 ethernet card required me to upgrade the kernel - while updating there was a problem with the initramfs generation, so i broke the system twice. i just do not want to deal with these problems so i decided to go for ubuntu [11:32] oh sorry, wrong channel. [11:32] I thought I was in #maths. [11:32] sorry :) [11:33] wekalaner: regardless with Linux kernels you should buy only hw known to be supported, not buy random hw and hope it is supported. === nikki__ is now known as Guest47625 [11:33] wekalaner: also, Debian has a backported kernel with newer drivers, and even the 'stable' drivers get updated once or twice a year. [11:33] Walex: my hardware is supported, i just need a recent kernel version in contrast to 3.0.2 which is the default in wheezy [11:34] wekalaner: for the kernel you use... [11:34] Walex: i used the backported kernel. however, there was a problem with initramfs generation [11:34] anyone? [11:34] wekalaner: sometimes you can't win :-) [11:34] i was restricted to particular hardware is a made a hackintosh. linux is just my alternativ/second choice os for particular tasks [11:34] lpapp: Bueller? Bueller? :-) [11:34] huh? [11:35] well, i will give ubuntu a go and hope that it does disappoint me :) [11:35] *not [11:35] lpapp: the best way for repeating questions is: repeat them *in full*, not more frequently than about every 5-10 minutes [11:35] wekalaner: run it off a USB stick with a large persistance... [11:36] wekalaner: Precise which is the earliest supported release uses 3.2 but can use 3.8 using backports [11:36] wekalaner: all I can really say is - suck it and see [11:36] lpapp: BTW there was a popular TV series in the USA set in a college where a teacher would ask a question and then add "anyone? anyone? Bueller?" as the teacher thought that Bueller was the star student. [11:36] run what of a usb stick? [11:36] 11:21 < lpapp> hi, what is the best way to replace lshd with openssh? [11:36] 11:21 < lpapp> i.e. how to stop the lshd service permanently, or star the openssh permanently [11:36] 11:21 < lpapp> (i.e. preserving the state after boot) [11:37] lpapp: uninstall 'lshd' and install 'openssh-server' [11:37] lol I bet Kaxo didn't get his maths homework done for him in #maths :P [11:38] lpapp: unfortunately in Debian-derived systems services are started permanently as soon as they are installed, and viceversa obviously. [11:38] Walex: what the f...... strange! [11:38] wekalaner: Ubuntu, you can run it off the usb like a live cd, but faster as USB is a lot faster than optical [11:38] Rory THANK YOU [11:38] dpkg -l \*shd\* [11:38] No packages found matching *shd*. [11:38] lpapp: Debian derived systems make the assumption that if you install some service you always want to run it. [11:38] :D [11:38] ir601: It works now? [11:38] i see, thanks for the suggestion [11:39] yeah perfectly [11:39] Walex, Which makes it fun when you want to secure them... [11:39] Good to hear [11:39] lpapp: it is an assumption that annoye me, e.g. on a laptop. [11:40] nictrasavios: it is not so much secure, because they are supposed to be secure in their default configuration, and Debian Developers take that seriously. [11:40] Sorry for my ignorance, how can I defend against arp attack with arpON? [11:40] Walex: it is just stupid [11:40] sisyphu: Did you read the arpON docs? [11:40] hi all, I have added a NIC to my machine (in addition to the 2 onboard). I see it in lspci but it doesn't show up in ifconfig [11:40] Walex: What about those ssh keys? >.> [11:40] Walex: what is the name of lshd? [11:40] executable and package? [11:40] Walex, Yeah, but they are not always right. They can't make some changes because it would inconvenience many. [11:41] lpapp: 'dpkg -S lshd' and/or 'apt-cache search lshd' [11:41] gdi2k: ifup interface_name [11:41] Rory: Yeah but confused [11:41] sisyphu: What about this tutorial http://redes-privadas-virtuales.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/shutting-out-arp-poisoning-and-spoofing.html [11:41] !man | sisyphu [11:41] sisyphu: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [11:42] nictrasavios: it is more because it is a part of Debian Policy and changes to Debian Policy have to be discussed widely and let's say rather animatedly :-) [11:42] Walex: ah, it is lssh-server [11:42] lsh* === Screedo_ is now known as Screedo === ghil_ is now known as ghil [11:42] Walex: that is interesting that lsh-server is installed along with openssh-server [11:42] the last one installed will take precedence for the running service? [11:42] lpapp: I also recommend installing 'dlocate' and 'apt-file' [11:42] He said it [11:42] he said Ubuntu [11:43] lpapp: that's one of the things with Debian-based distros: they benefit from things like 'alternatives' [11:43] lpapp: or 'dpkg-divert'. [11:43] Walex, true. Still, makes it annoying. === deathspawn is now known as Guest64661 === Zhaofeng_Li is now known as Guest87856 [11:43] Rory: Thanks, but how do I find the interface name? I have eth0 and eth1 from the existing onboard NICs, but eth3 doesn't work: Ignoring unknown interface eth3=eth3. [11:43] Why are so many pingouts and joins happening? [11:43] gdi2k: 'ip link show; === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [11:44] Walex: It's not there :( only lo, eth0 and eth1 [11:44] nictrasavios: It's a busy channel and lots of people have it on autojoin [11:44] gdi2k: try 'lspci' to double check. [11:44] Rory, Any way to disable those messages? [11:44] nictrasavios: what client? [11:44] nictrasavios, xchat allow you silence the ins/outs [11:44] it's there: 04:07.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 10) [11:44] http://www.linux.org/threads/do-not-use-ubuntu.3977/ ??

[11:45] nictrasavios: Right-click on the tab you want to change. In the submenu of the channel name, there's a toggle-item "Show join/part messages", simply turn this off. [11:45] Thank you! Any way to make it global? [11:45] nictrasavios: /set irc_conf_mode 1 [11:45] nictrasavios: Then all channels you join after setting this will start with "Show join/part messages" turned off. [11:45] gdi2k: try 'dmesg | egrep '04:07|eth[^01]' [11:46] Rory: cfhowlett: Thank you both! [11:46] Walex: I am trying to uninstall lshd behind ssh [11:46] :D [11:46] I can only uninstall it from the server room?? [11:46] is that fake or what ? http://www.linux.org/threads/do-not-use-ubuntu.3977/ === TREllis_ is now known as TREllis [11:46] lpapp: first of all such work is best done in a 'screen' in general.

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt [11:47] Walex: thanks, but not there: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3748138 [11:47] lpapp: note also that 'invoke-rc.d' no longer necessarily work with Ubuntu, which uses 'upstart' for most services. [11:48] lpapp: try first 'service lsh-server stop; service lshd stop' [11:48] lshd: unrecognized service [11:48] lpapp: whatever the name is... [11:48] ok, uninstalled. [11:48] now reinstall openssh-server? [11:48] lpapp: I hope that you are not connected with 'lshd' right now... [11:49] of course I am. [11:49] Of course they would. By sending those strings, they have a program (not a human) index the strings to improve search results. I'd be shocked if they didn't. [11:49] lpapp: yes, or just 'service ssh start' [11:49] we'll see in 240 seconds when he ping timeouts :P [11:49] Walex: apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server went fine. [11:49] sudo netstat -anp |grep 22 |grep LISTEN [11:49] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 15462/sshd [11:49] tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 15462/sshd [11:50] lpapp: now, without logging out, open a second 'ssh' connection. [11:50] lpapp: you know, just for testing... [11:50] I already logged out [11:50] lpapp: you are a huge optimist :-). === root is now known as Guest3505 [11:50] but it fixed my sftp issue [11:50] why? [11:50] it does work [11:50] ohh I've been bitten by that one [11:50] Walex: I bought it because Linux Hardware Guide says "is supported by Linux kernel Versions 2.4, 2.6 and 3.0 out-of-the-box". http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2012-04-08-d-link-dge-528t-gigabit-ethernet-adapter-100010010mbit-pci-bus-2-2-32-bit-netzwerkkarte [11:50] lpapp: If it hadn't worked, you'd be locked out [11:50] nuclearnadal, None of that is actually bad. Infact, the kind of "survallence" (which it really isn't) is used by every mainstream website out there to improve user expriance. They aren't "watching you" they are sampling data from their user base to improve their program, how else would they figure out how to improve their content. [11:51] Rory: right. [11:51] lpapp: in my experience you *never* let go of a working connection until you have fully tested that the sw that allows you to do the connection works. [11:51] lpapp: unless you want a red-faced late-night call to the on-call datacentre engineers [11:52] Rory: actually the server machine is a few metres away [11:52] but it is very easy to forget and logout automatically. [11:52] lpapp: Ah that's OK then [11:52] gdi2k: IIRC that card is indeed supported [11:53] Rory: no, it is not ok, because it is impotan to develop that habit so you can rely on it "by instinct" for the cases where it matters... [11:53] Remote KVM master race [11:54] gdi2k: the reason why I asked you to look at the logs is to see why ever it is not being recognized. Because it should... [11:54] Walex: could it be conflicting with the onboard cards? (I bought this because the oboards are giving me endless headaches): 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03) [11:55] gdi2k: yes indeed, but unlikely. Whatever the reason is most likely it is somewhere in the logs. [11:55] gdi2k: also most likely you can 'remmod' the relevant driver and 'modprobe' it again to see fresh log messages [11:56] gdi2k: BTW those Realtek chips are bit crude, but they ought to be work fairly well with the right driver. [11:56] Walex: Thanks, will work on it. It's a bit tricky as it's a remote server and I'm very likely to lock mysefl out... [11:56] gdi2k: well, you are connected via the Realtek cards obviously, and the driver module will be completely different. [11:58] SolidWorks works beautifully on VMWare! [11:58] Walex: Yes, the existing cards are working at the moment. Going for the brute-force approach - having the onboard NICs disabled in BIOS and hoping it gets itself a DHCP address on reboot... [11:59] gdi2k: why? That's an unncessary risk. [11:59] gdi2k: you can tell an interface to get address via dhcp via dhclient eth1 etc [11:59] Walex: I can re-enable it if need be, I have some remote hands [11:59] can any one describe what wine does in one line? it takes the windows app and run its code? then converts the code to linux code? any sort of reverse engineering? [11:59] Guest68122: its translates DirectX calls to native Linux calls [11:59] gdi2k: or anyhow with 'ifup eth3', the problem is that you don't have an 'eth3' of course. [12:00] gdi2k: wait a sec. let me look again at your stuff, I was a bit distracted. [12:00] Guest68122, what ActionParsnip said + "with varying degrees of success" [12:00] Guest68122: Wine is a compatibility layer. It duplicates functions of Windows by providing alternative implementations of the DLLs that Windows programs call,[4] and a process to substitute for the Windows NT kernel [12:00] Guest68122: source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29 [12:01] gdi2k: wait a sec. I just double checked and the DGE-528 has got a Realtek chip too :-) [12:02] ActionParsnip, cfhowlett how wine knows the code without even knowing the code of the application? [12:02] Walex: yes, it's all realtek, that's why I thought it's perhaps a conflict [12:03] gdi2k: and I used to have a Realtek on a couple of machines. I vaguely remember that there is more than one Realtek driver, and/or it needs a parameter. [12:03] Guest68122: thats where lots of trial and error and research comes in [12:03] gdi2k: which kernel version have you got? [12:03] Rory: guess you didn't have any more ideas.. yea [12:05] gdi2k: also from http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/ethernet-card-dge-528t-and-kernel-2-6-a-350564/ I see that the hw code for the card is 1186:4300 [12:06] gdi2k: and if you do 'grep 0x0*1186.0x0*4300 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.pcimap' it will tell you which module supports it [12:06] Walex: thanks, will check it out. Was hoping this was going to be super easy as the onboard ones were such a headache. Anyway, I disabled the onboards in BIOS, but no dice. It doesn't configure itself [12:06] Walex: Will try when it comes back up on the onboard NCIs [12:07] If when installing ubuntu I create the /home directory on a seperate drive, can I preserve this should I need to re-install sometime in the future? [12:07] NerdKelly, indeed. that's the primary benefit of a dedicated /home. just don't format it. [12:08] Anybody an idea here, why gpg-agent starts without support for shh, even if configured in gpg-agent.conf? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2187463 [12:08] cool [12:11] load r8101 module, but no eth0 device, any hint would be greatly appreciated [12:11] is it okay to ask the same question which I asked a hour or so before, or is it considered rude? === amar is now known as Guest38273 [12:12] it is ubuntu 13.10 [12:13] Walex: Thanks for your help! A simple loading of r8169 did the trick. The onboard devices are using r8168 [12:13] Walex: Not understanding why that didn't happen automatically... [12:14] I can't see the internal GPU HDMI output in 12.04, http://i.imgur.com/zpgLwpt.png .. got one Monitor in the DP, the other in the DVI .. and the HDMI is in the internal GPU on the mainboard ..http://i.imgur.com/H17DBa7.png (5) I see the splash-screen (or verbose if I enabled it) on the HMDI - but the system detects only the monitors on the primary GPU [12:14] (everything works on 13.10 but not on 12.04) [12:15] Walex: Follow up: I had blacklisted r8169 when I tried installing Realtek OEM drivers for the onboard devices. It all makes sense now! I'm a lemonhead. :/ [12:16] anyone here use bitcoin-qt? It keeps crashing on me, and I can't find anything in the debug.log [12:17] Hi. I plugged in a second monitor of different resolution and now one monitor displays the opened windows and another displays the task and menu bars. How can I use each with a different desktop? [12:17] sudo modprobe r8169, it does not have eth0 yet [12:18] micheal_: try lspci -v it should tell you which module it needs [12:18] forget the question, nevermind :) [12:19] Blaster: bitcoin-qt started to crash on my underpowered devices some months ago. On machines with enough computing power and memory, I had no issues so far. [12:19] if bitcoin runs out of ram does it just crash? [12:19] lspci -v, no information about ethernet controller [12:19] I only have 1024 M allocated to that machine [12:21] Blaster: I don't actually know why, but it usually hogged the CPU for a while and all of a sudden it crashed. After about every sixth crash, the block chain needed reindexing. So, I don't use it on these devices anymore. [12:21] I would have thought the software would be pretty reliable on ubuntu [12:22] Blaster: That's probably not enough. You could try with bitcoind, but I don't think it makes much difference. Somebody told me to reduce the max connections, but I never actually tried. [12:23] Blaster: A year ago, it even worked on an alix with only 256MB RAM. [12:23] doesnt the cost of power outweigh the value of bitcoins? [12:23] hdon:here? [12:23] ActionParsnip, maybe with a ULV cluster [12:24] ActionParsnip: only if you beleve outdated charts that still calculate with the power consumption of CPU's for mining. [12:24] r8105e is an network chip integrated into onboard [12:24] ulrichard: hasn't crashed since I updated to 2048 M [12:25] fingeys crossed [12:33] lspci -v, no ethernet controller appear, ethernet controller is bad? === Jpmh is now known as JohnH [12:35] michael_: try: sudo lshw -C network [12:36] Hiyas all [12:37] sudo lshw -C network, nothing output [12:38] test [12:38] michael_: not even 'PCISYS' ? [12:38] :) [12:38] PCISYS, it does appear, but no result [12:39] michael_: wait, your PCI bus is slow [12:39] pci bus is slow, how to do next [12:39] michael_: wait, it will come [12:40] it has done, then return back to command line [12:40] michael_: or do you have your prompt back already? [12:41] yes, back to prompt [12:41] michael_: is the Ethernet enabled in BIOS? [12:41] michael_: do you dual boot? [12:41] single booot [12:41] michael_: is the Ethernet enabled in BIOS? [12:43] only wake on boardlan, no the ethernet enable option in BIOS [12:43] michael_: are the lights flashing around the RJ45 port? [12:43] the flashing is lighting [12:43] how can i change the grub resolution form the grub shell? [12:44] the lights is on around the RJ45 port [12:45] michael_: thats good. Are there any lines in dmesg relating to the interface? [12:46] in dmesg , there are two lines [12:46] michael_: what do they say> [12:47] realtek: no valid ssid, checking pincfg 0x40a4c601 for nid 0x1d [12:47] realtek: enabling init ASM_ID=0xc601 CODEC_ID=10ec0662 [12:48] not any others [12:52] what should i check [12:56] what is the problem?

[13:03] (maybe before you have to go outside) [13:04] cfhowlett: my issue is that xfce crashing but and I even thought about using unity [13:04] shuvarek, are you in ubuntu or xubuntu? [13:05] but I need to have some kind controls which shows me internet/memory/disk usage [13:05] shuvarek: conky can do that [13:05] and not conky as I would like to see it when I use other applications [13:06] Problem is I use computer with small memory [13:06] ./joined #linuxac [13:06] and when it started slowing down, I cannot see the conky [13:07] I need something what I can see everytime on panel, like in previous gnome, or xfce [13:07] Is it possible in unity? [13:07] ./joine#linuxac [13:08] blackpanther.hu [13:08] I am on xubuntu, but when I talk to much about other de on that chanel they told me that it is off-topic [13:08] so I came here because I think about unity too [13:08] shuvarek, try lxde [13:09] shuvarek, should be marginally lighter than xfce === bfiller is now known as bfiller_afk [13:09] I am using it (not now) but when I had the problem I installed it, but it is too primitive for my liking [13:09] even keyboard layoout I have to do from console [13:09] shuvarek: well what are the specs of your computer [13:10] Ben64: netbook samsung nc110 [13:10] yeah you should be running lxde [13:10] nice small thing, I have few systems on it (but usually use only one) [13:11] shuvarek, xubuntu / lubuntu are your recommended options [13:11] !pm > nuclearnadal [13:11] nuclearnadal, please see my private message [13:11] I thought also about mate, trinity, e17/18 and unity [13:12] Ben64: even in xfce I put one panel on the left (like in unity) so I can have more space to read [13:13] Ben64: and I like xfce, but it crashes too much [13:14] Ben64: has this same problem before when I used 12.04 (now on 13.10) [13:14] shuvarek, find/fix the reason for the crashes or try the other DE's [13:15] cfhowlett: what about unity, how much ram it needs, and is it possible to do what I ask on beginning? === Guest68122 is now known as Quest [13:15] cfhowlett: (see the processor/memory/network ussage) [13:16] you're not going to have a fun time with an atom and 1GB of ram on unity [13:16] some ppl have a lower threashold for fun than others [13:17] Ben64: so probably try with e17/18 or other [13:18] Ben64: will see [13:18] shuvarek, unity is highly demanding which is why almost everyone will recommend you use an alternate DE. xfce and lxde are known light alternatives [13:19] cfhowlett: I used to try bodhi linux some time ago (maybe one or few years) and it was interesting [13:20] cfhowlett: do not remember why I did not use it, if I have any problem with it, so maybe it is time to give it a try [13:21] shuvarek, unlike many, you are clearly comfortable with installing and testing alternate DE's. Kudos. Try them all - they're free. When you find the one you like, keep it! Best of luck to you. [13:21] cfhowlett: thakns [13:21] how do i take screenshot of current window. alt + printscreen takes screenshot of the "type your command" bar [13:22] Ruler-: Usability papercut.

I do apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-server-5.5, rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql, and then apt-get install mysql-server-5.5, and then starting the service will fail because the table mysql.host doesn't exist? [13:42] enbergj: sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5 [13:42] but why would I uninstall mysql-client and mysql-common to uninstall the server, that makes no sense at all [13:42] You could manually run sudo dpkg --reconfigure mysql-server [13:43] enbergj: And I think there's a command mysql_install_db [13:43] could not find libjava.so on ubuntu 13.10 [13:44] !details | mayo [13:44] mayo: Please give us full details.

[15:02] clarkk: what do you mean enable your system to use the [15:03] ah ok, but it doesn't boot up,a nd has been fine, not it will not boot cause of it not being able to mount /mapper/nagios--vg-root [15:03] clarkk: what are you expecting to happen after you install them [15:04] stormy98_: that looks like your root file system, or at least the root directory for your nagios install [15:04] ikonia: I'm hoping that flash won't crash every time I view a flash video in my browser. This was the case with previous versions of the nvidea driver and vdpau libs [15:04] thats what i thought, but how do i fix it! or have i just fooked the server! [15:05] clarkk: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are doing [15:05] ikonia: how do I ensure that the libs are utilised? [15:05] stormy98_: that language is uncalled for, and unwelcome [15:05] stormy98_: why can't it mount the file system ? [15:05] clarkk: utilized by what ? [15:05] sorry! for the rude words [15:05] ikonia: at all? [15:05] clarkk: something has to use them for them to be used [15:06] on boot up it says, cannt open root device mmapper/nagios--vg-root or unknown block(0,0); eroor -6 then please append a correct root boot option here are the avaliable parititons, 0b00 1040575 sro driver: sr, kernel panic - not syncing vs unable to mount root fs on unkonown-block(0,0); [15:07] stormy98_: ok, so either the the volume group is not active (corruption ?) he file system is damaged on it [15:07] stormy98_: what disks are in that volume group ? [15:07] I don't know, i'm guessing just the one parittion to be honnest [15:08] stormy98_: why don't you know ? is this your system ? [15:08] it is mine, but i never configured it! the person before me who configured it left with no ducomentation, so i got to pick up the peices! [15:09] stormy98_: what have you done so far to try to recover it ? [15:10] it has loads of kernels installed, like 10 or so, went through them and tried each one, also tried reocvery mode, tried to boot into single user mode as well same issue === Emmanuel_Chanel_ is now known as Emmanuel_Chanel [15:10] i could use /dev/mapper/sr0 as listed above but i don't knwo what that is [15:10] stormy98_: sr0 is normally a cdrom [15:11] ah ok [15:11] stormy98_: I think you need to boot from an external media to try to get a look at how the system is setup [15:11] stormy98_: trying to boot a root file system on volume manager control that is damaged is going to go nowhere [15:11] I want to start again. I have used configure, make install and install to compile and install a library. How do I remove that library? [15:11] to be honnest I would be 99.9% sure that it will onyl have one parition setup. [15:12] clarkk: you can try make uninstall or manually remove the files [15:12] ikonia: what would be best progarms to use to check the system then. [15:12] stormy98_: the best programs ? [15:12] stormy98_: "a shell" [15:12] haha stupid question 1 to me, I knew you would say that haha! [15:12] ikonia: where will the uninstall file be placed? [15:13] clarkk: there is no uinstall file [15:13] cheers ikonia will go have a play! [15:13] I suppose a live cd / usb key would be a good start. [15:13] stormy98_: that will work - just remember, the volume groups will not show up until you get them imported in your live media [15:13] can't you do something to 2 internet connections (like wifi and ethernet) so that your connection goes across both and if you disconnect one or the other it doesn't disconnect any existing connections? [15:13] I *thought* it was called bridging but that's not right [15:13] moparisthebest_: the overhead of that sort of setup at home is not workth it [15:14] that is not bridging no [15:14] ok thanks ikonia will go have a play :) [15:14] whats it called? [15:14] ok thanks ikonia [15:14] moparisthebest_: bonding [15:15] ah that's the word, thanks ikonia === Quest is now known as Guest61275 [15:18] what can I do to deal with bots trying to request /phpmyadmin /wp-admin etc. on a webserver? [15:18] Hi :) - I seem to have an issue with 13.10 over earlier versions with the layout of php configuration files. It seems like the folder that used to exist /etc/php5/conf.d no longer exist - I have some scripts that use this location. Does anyone know how and why this has changed and if there is a new layout to follow ? [15:18] no1peanut: would a symlink fix it? [15:18] bibi234: block it - change the url, setup port knocking, setup bad bots processes on apache [15:18] bibi234: you could setup htdigest authentication in front of them? [15:19] or do what I do and move /phpmyadmin if you can, to /phpmyadminbalbnthoaeu/ or whatever [15:19] moparisthebest_: using the default url is "exploiting 101" [15:19] moparisthebest_: sorry, wrong person [15:19] ActionPa1snip: most likely - but I would like to know why this has changed [15:19] no problem, I agree :) === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [15:20] I am not just trying to fix my immidiate problem - I would like to know why this has changed [15:21] ikonia: I'm not using the default URL, but those errors are polluting some log files, so I was wondering if there are some tools to block them? [15:21] bibi234: look into 'Fail2Ban' [15:22] if you aren't using those URL's at all, you can just block them [15:22] bibi234: well, either setup ignore on the logs, block that url, or look at badbots for fail2ban [15:22] or some other port knocking [15:22] or write a script to grep logs for IPs accessing those URLs, and iptables ban them [15:22] "bad bots" [15:22] moparisthebest_: that is fail2ban... [15:22] if no legit IP should be accessing those URLs, you should be able to safely ban them all [15:23] no1peanut: 600+ people in ##php (that's double #) [15:23] what is the stock twitter ap in 13.10? [15:24] somsip: ok thanks this tool looks perfect [15:24] vininim: http://www.twitter.com [15:24] :3, gwibber knocked off? [15:24] bibi234: and as for WP with this, you might find this useful. I think it's still relevant http://is.gd/0vAJYm [15:24] no idea [15:24] MonkeyDust: thx .. [15:25] vininim: isnt itcalled 'friends' now or something like that [15:26] vininim: gwibber is in the repos if you want it [15:26] "Gwibber is a social networking client for GNOME. It supports Facebook, Twitter, Identi.ca, StatusNet, FriendFeed, Qaiku, Flickr, and Digg." [15:26] somsip: I don't use wordpress, but those nasty bots are still trying :) [15:26] I know, just wondering if I should change my modus operandi if I want to give feedback on stock ubuntu [15:27] bibi234: ok. The filters in that post can still be adapted anyhoo. Good luck [15:27] vininim: why is 'stock ubuntu' a thing? [15:28] at some point of developlment "social networking" was a "thing" [15:28] vininim: if you prefer an app for a particular task, use it [15:28] I have a lot of things tweaked, just wondering if they decide for something differnt for twitter beside gwibber [15:29] I know, I just want to know "stock twitter access". if it's the site, I've been doing it for a while and gave some feedback on gwibber when it was stock. Wondering if it got replaced :) [15:32] Hi :) - I seem to have an issue with 13.10 over earlier versions with the layout of php configuration files. It seems like the folder that used to exist /etc/php5/conf.d no longer exist - I have some scripts that use this location.

[15:44] erm === derek is now known as Guest77851 [15:45] Coryn: Best way is probably to try it on dummy data [15:46] well, I guess you have a point, since I don't know what user sudo would put on temporary files [15:46] but if it was root, it's the same problem [15:47] vininim: the point is your exeucuting it as your user with root permissions, the other way is you are root [15:47] Hi guys!

[15:49] vininim: this is a channel for ubuntu linux - support, not "anyone who says the word ubuntu in any context" [15:50] lol [15:50] you're write just because of support, because discussing the meaning of ubuntu (starting from choice of naming) is on-topic on ubuntu related :) [15:50] mernilio: Good offtopic chat channels are #ubuntu-offtopic (official) and #club-nomicon (unofficial) [15:50] *right [15:50] Has anyone encountered the "waiting for more than 60 seconds for network configuration" message on boot?

That does not make sense [16:24] BenZur: if it is mounted on ~/.gvfs/ it can be copied like any other directory/files [16:24] BenZur: cp should do it. [16:25] BenZur: rsync as well, I would suppose. [16:25] BenZur: Is the share on a MS-Windows server? [16:25] usr13, do you think you can help me with partitioning in gparted please? [16:25] BenZur since you are copying from a windows machine why not just install samba server share a dir then drag and drop from your windows machine [16:26] Wiz_KeeD: Sure. [16:26] thanks a lot m8! [16:27] usr13: yes [16:27] koyetsu, can you explain a bit more pls? [16:27] ebhtura_: i thought it streamed [16:28] like, waits for so many values and runs [16:28] well since you are using samba that means the files you want are on a windows share. and it sounds like you are working from a shell on linux. why not just install the samba server then have it share out a folder. open it from windows then drag and drop from windows [16:28] hi, I want to use a 3rd hard drive as a shared ntfs data storage location for ubuntu & win 8.1. Must I shut down & reboot my rig to avoid data loss in win 8.1 or will a restart be okay? [16:29] pip__: Define the difference between "shut down and reboot" and "restart" [16:29] yeah - clear as mud that sorry [16:29] pip__: Do you mean like a hard reboot? [16:30] yeah, or a restart [16:30] pip__: You should make sure the ntfs volume is cleanly unmounted, one way of doing that is shutting down/rebooting properly [16:30] You shouldn't be hard-powering-off your system anyway [16:30] one thing to note. when opening a samba share from windows if it asks for a username and pass you will need to put computername\username in the username dialog so if your linux box it ubuntu and your username is BenZur you would put ubuntu\BenZur for your username [16:31] oh gosh, I meant shoud I select "shutdown" & then fire the rig up again [16:31] install samba server on the server or is it an application to install locally on the linux desktop? [16:31] or can I select "restart" [16:31] you install it on your linux box [16:31] does that make any sense? [16:32] where DC channel? [16:32] where can I find it? apt-get? [16:32] pip__: you can select restart [16:32] for example, if I select restart from win or Ubuntu I down have to push the power button to make the rig come on again [16:32] yeah it's there i'm not 100% sure of the package name [16:32] !alis | mjc [16:32] mjc: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

[19:09] irc-5225225: uhm, you can write a script to do so, I think [19:10] deezed: In that case, I'm assuming there's a library to read ID3 tags in python [19:10] oh well, i'll look around [19:10] irc-5225225: thats cool! so [19:11] irc-5225225: just think about something like that: [19:12] Hi guys, I have a problem with my system. Everytime I load it, it shows many windows that say "System program problem detected". I close the windows and I don't have much other issues, but that at the start is annoying. [19:12] irc-5225225: if the_artist_u_want*; then mkdir artist_folder & cp artist_u_want* artist_folder; fi [19:12] can you please help me in installing this driver in http://support-in.canon-asia.com/contents/IN/EN/0100459601.html ubuntu 13.10 ? [19:13] deezed: Preferably using format strings, so I can do %author/%album/%title [19:14] deezed: Python seems to be the best choice for that, just need to find a library that can read the tags. [19:14] jennie: what's the exact printer model, please? [19:14] deezed: Or even a command line utility, and I read the output. It's really hacky but I don't care. [19:14] irc-5225225: yes, it will be nice.. tell me if you make it after all [19:14] daftykins it is canonlbp2900B [19:14] deezed: I could put it up in GH if you want. [19:14] irc-5225225: I'm not sure if python is the best for that, but go ahead [19:15] irc-5225225: yes, sure! [19:15] deezed: Python is mainly the only language that I know, and it seems to be the best if you are writing scripts to do a specific function. [19:15] jennie: take a look here at where a very similar file is used to do the same http://askubuntu.com/questions/364121/how-to-install-the-printer-driver-for-canon-image-running-2520-in-ubuntu-13-10 [19:15] which I am. [19:16] irc-5225225: indeed, but since you are working with your own directories, maybe a shell script can do the match [19:17] irc-5225225: maybe the people in #bash can help better === francois is now known as Guest63545 [19:17] deezed: oh well. Can't really be bothered to mess around with shell scripts. I'm sure you could do it in 1 line of shell though. [19:17] agreed [19:18] irc-5225225: shell is not that far from python, if you know python already, I think in 2 days learning shell you will make the script you need [19:19] deezed: But python's cleaner, imo. In the end, it doesn't really matter. === aprx is now known as aproxy [19:19] irc-5225225: yes, that's true. [19:20] daninoz: that's apport throwing those messages at you, but you can disable it in /etc/default/apport [19:20] irc-5225225: the only point that in shell you have all the commands like 'mkdir' and 'cp' just there for you use it, in python you will have to import somethings.. which is not a big deal... ;) [19:20] daftykins that driver will work for my printer too ? [19:20] deezed: os.subprocess() === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [19:21] or, just os.mkdir() [19:21] jennie: stick to the download from the page you linked to, but follow things in the same way [19:22] Hello [19:22] irc-5225225: yes, sure! anyway, tell us when you have it done! it will be a nice one === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [19:22] jennie: did you download Linux_CAPT_PrinterDriver_V260_uk_EN.tar.gz yet? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [19:23] irc-5225225: easytag can [19:23] oops [19:24] yeah, I did say command line. [19:24] easytag can sort your mp3s into subfolders [19:24] but it's not command line. [19:24] daftykins yes I already did [19:24] from what I can tell [19:25] jennie: ok so did you extract it successfully? [19:25] yes [19:25] jennie: and have you looked at the file structure and noticed there are some .deb files in a 32-bit and 64-bit folder? [19:26] yes daftykins [19:26] jennie: did you try first installing the 'common' .deb? do you know if you're 32 or 64-bit? [19:26] I am at 64bit [19:26] irc-5225225: Yes, but it works. If you want to waste your time with writing a shell script, no problem. :-) [19:27] jennie: so you should be able to double click on the cndrvcups-common_2.60-1_amd64.deb file? [19:27] glitsj16, thanks. That worked. [19:28] daftykins I didnt have to do some commands in terminal before double clicking .deb file ? [19:28] jennie: no, you can try it this way [19:29] when I am manually adding a username to /etc/sudoers and /etc/init.d/sudo restarting, its still not allowing them to sudo [19:29] any idea why? [19:29] nvrpunk: they need to be a member of the right group [19:29] knightshade: But it's not command line, and no, it wouldn't work for my needs. It's not a waste of time. [19:30] knightshade: 'waste your time' was a bit rude, anh? anyway writing a script is always nice to learn and make another one... [19:30] nvrpunk: /etc/init.d/sudo doesn't do what you expect it to do. Its not something you need to touch ever. [19:30] jennie, if any debi or something is installed yes double click otherwise use dpkg -i nameof.deb plus let me know you are at debian os or ubuntu (it's not the same) [19:31] nvrpunk: Have you logged out and logged back in with that user since making your change? [19:31] so if they are in the sudo group [19:31] it should just work [19:31] right? [19:32] or do i still need to add the user to the /etc/sudoers [19:32] grep0r: already looked into it, it's supported on Ubuntu [19:32] nvrpunk: You don't need to touch /etc/sudoers if you put the user in the sudo group. The user will need to logoff and log back in for any group membership changes to take effect though. [19:33] daftykins, which one ati's driver? [19:33] jennie: ok i just gave it a try myself, what happened for you on trying to double click the .deb for common? [19:33] grep0r: we're talking printers here :D [19:33] I am seeing 'BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5' when running 'apt-get update' against http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com precise-updates [19:33] grep0r: jennie's query i am referring to [19:33] it is opening software center === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [19:34] jennie: did it work for you? it crashed for me in my VM, i ended up installing them via command line instead [19:35] I installed it in my ubuntu by software center [19:35] jennie: ok now do the same with the other .deb [19:36] okay I just did [19:36] daftykins, if you have cups why need caps :) [19:36] Hmmm [19:37] Anyone know how to force Xorg to generate an xorg.conf? [19:37] It's not running with one, but I need to adjust how it functions :S [19:37] jennie: ok now open firefox and browse to "localhost:631" and click "Adding printers and Classes" in the middle [19:38] jennie: then login with your username + password, then click 'Add Printer' top left [19:38] ok [19:38] xen: no [19:38] xen: What video driver are you using? [19:39] I have a question, my web browsers keep redirecting me to mobile websites. [19:39] xen: What is your video card? lspci [19:39] What do I do? [19:39] jennie: you should have an 'Add Printer' page now which has "Local Printers:" - click the radio button beside 'CAPT Printer' [19:39] ok daftykins [19:39] it is asking connection [19:40] jennie: yep now type in that box 'ccp://localhost:59687' [19:40] jennie: on the next page type any name, description and location you want for it [19:40] What do I do when my web browsers keep redirecting me to mobile websites? I'm on Xubuntu 13.10 on Armhf. [19:40] hmm now I can't resolve us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com [19:41] ok daftykins [19:41] and what about make ? [19:41] Nothing_Much: which web browsing are you using btw? [19:41] deezed: So far there's two, which are Chromium and Firefox [19:42] Nothing_Much: both are doing this? [19:42] is there a map program that I can use without an internet connection? [19:42] deezed: Yes [19:42] jennie: select Canon then the button below, it should give you a list of printers [19:43] my printer is not in the list , mine is LBP900B and it have LBP2900 only [19:43] jennie: down the list will be "Canon LBP2900 CAPT ver.1.5 (en)" [19:43] jennie: yes in printer terms they are not 100% specific [19:43] Nothing_Much: I'm not sure what can do that actually.. but you could try to use an extension in firefox.. see if with adblock it still happens [19:44] jennie: it will be a driver for the entire range of that model #. now click add printer and there will be some final settings to choose [19:47] Nothing_Much, does this happen with different browsers [19:47] karamel4e: Yes, maybe because I'm on armhf? [19:48] jennie: you can try printing a test page with CUPS now, or just try printing from an application - any luck? [19:48] trying to print [19:49] jennie: it's connected directly via USB, yes?

[21:13] speak spanish? === alan_ is now known as Guest47274 [21:14] kmyst: So what I'm assuming is that there's a file on the iso called boot.img?

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [21:14] if that's what you're talking about [21:14] kmyst: what command did you use to mount as loopback? [21:14] Jordan_U: end goal is i need to tweak it and rewrite it [21:15] kmyst: That's not an end goal, that's one step toward an end goal. Why do you want to tweak and rewrite it? [21:15] irc-5225225: yes, it's an eltoritio bootable image, specifically one with no emulation, hence it's 2048 bytes big and mount -0loop boot.img /mnt fails [21:15] Jordan_U: heh, ok...i need to modify the batch file that runs when the cd boots [21:17] kmyst: Still not an end goal. Why do you want to "modify the batch file"? (And keep asking yourself "why" until you get to the *end* goal). [21:17] Jordan_U: and while i can extract the image from the iso and/or disc, i'm running into a situation where i can't mount it (i surmise since it's no emulation and not floppy or hard disk emulation) [21:17] what do I have to delete to make an ubuntu install clean? I want to make an AWS AMI from my server, but I dont want to leave any logs, user data, etc on the image [21:17] just the new packages I installed, and some configuration files, and that's it? [21:18] kmyst: You can't mount the iso image? [21:19] kmyst: I don't think mount supports mounting those types of images [21:19] Jordan_U: because the silly batch file has a typo and won't load one of the three installers [21:19] usr13: yes i can mount the image [21:19] kmyst: wait, what? You just said you couldn't. [21:19] kmyst: oh ok. [21:19] kmyst: So what problem are you actually having? What happens when you try to boot? [21:19] irc-5225225: i said i can't mount the boot.img extracted from it [21:20] irc-5225225: he did.... but I guess that's not what he meant. [21:20] ah, ok [21:20] kmyst: file boot.img [21:20] kmyst: What does that say? [21:21] kmyst: Try gimp [21:21] Jordan_U: ok the batch file works like this: press a for booting os installer X, press B to boot os installer Y, press C to boot os installer Z... [21:22] usr13: it says it's data :) [21:22] kmyst: Ok. [21:22] usr13: why gimp? [21:22] that's what i was thinking..... [21:23] kmyst: Because I thought it was an image, (a graphical image). [21:23] usr13: nope it's a boot image [21:23] usr13: eltorito standard [21:23] kmyst: Normally at boot you see a menu and you move through that menu using arrow keys rather than pressing a single key to select an entry. Is this the menu that you're taling about? Also, to be clear, Ubuntu installation media doesn't contain any "batch files". [21:23] I was thinking like a splash screen... :0 [21:25] <_87xman> Hi all!

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [21:26] kmyst: So you're not working with the standard Ubuntu install images. You should make that clear from the beginning. We can't really help much with figuring out how other people generated their iso images and thus how to edit them.

[21:28] *intelligent* [21:29] <_87xman> works 7,9 GB but not too much faster. [21:29] Jordan_U: right it isn't but this is just general CLI stuff, i.e. isoinfo -d -i file.iso will tell you a lot of nice info about the image, dd to extract the boot image, etc. etc......basically mundane *nix stuff [21:29] <_87xman> because the RAM is fine. === mynameisnotdave is now known as islandmonkey [21:31] kmyst: Except that most of the time what you'll find in such an el torido disk image is just executable code, with configuration files being read from files on the iso9660 filesystem. You can't mount an executable, and since we don't know the tools that created this boot.img (it's not any of the standard *NIX bootlaoders), we can't really help you figure out how to modify it.

[23:23] Highest5: meh, leave it then [23:23] there is no reason to not take 64bit [23:23] buntu__: probably using a PAE kernel [23:23] Highest5: if it works don't fix it [23:24] buntu__: it maxes at 4gb [23:24] gordonjcp ok, I can work on that - I can easily do it with the vms [23:24] ram is not the reason to take 64bit :/ [23:24] ahh [23:24] aeoril: that might be useful to know [23:24] gordonjcp (I mean I can easily try to do it) [23:24] k1l: well, yah, there's lots of reasons. but it's still a choice. [23:24] Highest5: skype works since ages for me on 64bit [23:24] aeoril: not particularly to me, I'm not clever enough for Windows [23:24] aeoril: but file a bug [23:25] gordonjcp ok, thanks - I'll go ahead and do some testing. [23:25] standby gotta phone call [23:25] beandog: you can choose to install kernel 1.0. but nobody wants to to that too [23:25] I use 32bit because the 64bit install always hangs and says it can't find a live file system [23:25] ? [23:25] ? [23:25] whatevs. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:26] where i can find downloaded files using wget tool? [23:26] w0rmie: dumps them in your current directory [23:27] w0rmie: in that directory just type "pwd" to see the full path === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [23:27] i'm on / [23:28] w0rmie: so guessing you use sudo or are root? [23:30] i am with root on NFSROOT [23:30] hello all [23:30] morning [23:30] * beandog hates guessing games [23:30] w0rmie: what are you trying to do [23:31] i am trying to install nfsbooted from the old releases archives === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [23:33] eneng ra wong jowo [23:34] sorry i used the -P to get the whole path, it's fixed, thank you beandog :) [23:35] cool cool === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [23:36] i left linux since 2008, and i didn't touch a computer since 4 years ago :) [23:36] okay sorry guys...had to take a phone call... [23:36] good luck guyz [23:36] about this whole 32-bit vs 64-bit ubuntu idea. [23:36] Highest5: take 64bit if you cpu can handle that [23:37] We'll I have 4gb of ram so I think it can handle it. [23:37] sorry, k1l, I have 4gb of ram so it should be able to handle it. [23:38] Highest5: most modern cpus can handle 64bit. so in most cases it should work [23:38] My question really is, since I already have 32, and a partitioned hard drive. The OS only takes up about 20 gb. [23:38] The rest of my hard drive is just my home folder. [23:38] Highest5: oh okay, nicely done then [23:38] just don't screw up the partition section when reinstalling. :) [23:38] that would be bad. [23:38] So during the installation process, when I click "something else" do I delete the sda1 partition (the os) and add another one? or will the computer just know I want to replace the 32 with the 64 [23:39] Highest5: don't delete it, just mark it as active, and to reformat it [23:39] haha beandog, that's why I'm here. To make sure I don't screw it up. [23:39] well, you could do either. [23:39] but I would just go into the mount part [23:39] and tell it to mount it as / [23:39] then to mount /dev/whatever as /home === HeathHayle2 is now known as HeathHayle [23:39] Highest5: well, you can say to the installer it shoul use the old / as the new / [23:40] I have /home already set up. That's where all my music and pictures are. [23:40] and the old/home as the new /home. then it will install into / (click formating for / NOT for /home) [23:40] k1l, / should be the 20 gb partition right? [23:41] k1l: thank you, that's what I was trying to say :) [23:41] the one that actually has to os [23:41] Highest5: if you say your old / was about 20GB and the bigger ine was /home, yes [23:42] so when I go into the installer, I just format / and proceed with installation without adding or deleting my partitions? [23:42] anyone can tell me a good app to annotate pdfs ? [23:42] yes [23:42] Highest5: just look over it carefully before you proceed. It'll make sense. [23:42] Hi Guys -- recently I've noticed that my screen config (nvidia-settings creating the xorg.conf) aren't sticking after a reboot -- specifically my screen positioning -- any ideas? [23:43] Seems simple enough. and since /home is a separate partition of the hard drive there's no NEED to back it up right? the only part being adjusted is / [23:43] Highest5: but you need to tell the installer that the old /-partition will be the new /-partition (wich the check by formating) and that the old /home-partition is the new /home-partition without formating [23:43] just so I understand completely [23:43] Highest5: yes, just be aware what you choose to mount where and where you check the formating === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [23:44] k1l: well in the installer I would just click /, then click format. let it do it's thing, not touch anything else, and start clicking continue like when I first installed the 32-bit [23:44] Highest5: nope [23:45] !pastebin [23:45] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:45] Highest5: you need to choose manually partitioning. then choose the 20GB partition, choose mount as /, choose formatin, then choose the bigger partition, choose only mount as home, then proceed [23:46] yahp [23:46] exactly that [23:46] ahhhhhhhhhh okay [23:46] I remember having to do that when I partitioned the hard drive. [23:46] so, format, not re-partition [23:46] Highest5: if you dont choose the old /home to be used as new /home, that will no be used [23:47] and you'd have to modify your /etc/fstab on the new install .... which is *not hard* at all [23:47] one line of code [23:47] unless your home is encrypted [23:47] beandog: ya lost me [23:47] it's not encrypted (as far as I'm aware) [23:48] that's my specialty [23:48] then you're fine [23:48] gordonjcp also, I get this error whenever I boot (top line highlighted in white): http://i.imgur.com/7tZccsh.png - wondering if that is something to do with the Hyper-V VM also (it prints out to the screen during boot) [23:48] Basically, I'm saying, if you don't click reuse /home, you can still fixxor it, but after it's installed [23:48] My entire hard drive is 20 gb os, about 5gb for swap, and the rest (of the 500 gb) is /home [23:48] anyone can tell me a good app to annotate/comment pdfs that does not occupy much space ?? [23:49] Quick question. Is there a place I can plug in an xrandr call before my DE/WM of choice is initialized as I log in through the default Ubuntu greeting screen in precise? [23:49] akurilin: uh, kind of [23:49] okay I'm just about to go get this done....but now will all the programs I use still work in the 64-bit version? [23:49] the real question is, what ar eyou trying to do [23:50] Highest5: that's the golden question. [23:50] Skype, Compiz, Xchat, pidgin? [23:50] I don't need skype for video calls, just the group text chats [23:50] Highest5: meh, you're fine. [23:50] beandog: right now I have xmonad get started however Ubuntu does it by default when you install it through APT from the default repos. In order for the xmobar status bar to work correctly, the xrandr call I use to order screens correctly needs to be made before xmonad starts. [23:51] akurilin: oh okay [23:51] okay cool. But one last question and I'm sure it's really dumb, and I'm sure the answer is no. [23:51] beandog: I think without a DE picker you'd do this by configuring .xsession [23:51] akurilin: right, that's what I was going to suggest ... put it in there ... for root, I guess. [23:51] akurilin: I imagine even the xdm is going to load it [23:51] beandog: is there a way to bypass the default greeting scrreen then? [23:52] akurilin: that's a feature of the xdm [23:52] akurilin: and yes, you can [23:52] But I mess around with rooting android phones. Before I do any work with them I always backup the phone exactly as it is, so if something goes wrong, or I don't like it, I can restore it to what it was before I started messing with it. Can that be done in this scenario as well? [23:52] just in case? [23:52] Highest5: eh, what you really need to backup is /etc [23:52] you can pretty much ignore everything else. [23:53] Highest5: even then, all the user config stuff is gonna be in $HOME anyway [23:53] hi guys i need some help. i have been working on migrating a plesk server and flipped the switch to the new server today. I am running into an issue where the new server is pointing back to old one. where on ubuntu would I find my dns configuration? [23:53] beandog: ok I'll rummage around try to figure this out, thanks === Shane is now known as Guest82576 [23:54] mistawright: run nm-tool [23:54] akurilin: if you wanna disable the dm completely, and just directly login with your user, then... that might be easier, but harder to setup. Lots of options, of course. :T [23:54] beandog: okay, I'll go take a look. I don't want to screw anything up. So if somethings not feeling right, I'll just come back here. If everythings fine, I'll come back and give additional thanks to you and k1l [23:54] mistawright: also generally the DNS is configured by NetworkManager through the applet [23:54] I receive this error when I try to run 'gnome-settings-daemon'. I am running i3-wm on Ubuntu 13.04. [23:54] but as for now thanks for the help [23:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6553876/ [23:54] Highest5: good luck. [23:54] Highest5: if you are unsure come back and ask again [23:54] Highest5: you could always do a trial run in VirtualBox or something [23:54] mistawright: unless you disabled that and are configuring this by hand thorugh resolv.conf [23:54] Highest5: just to see how it works [23:55] I can do that? [23:55] hi, does anyone know how to get rsync to find only a certain filename, and only sync files by that filename? but, keeping the directory structure that that file exists within? [23:55] akurilin: what package is nm-tool part of? its not on my 12.04 lts server [23:55] Highest5: well, I mean, not for *your* specific setup, but you could duplicate the scenario. install ubuntu 32-bit with a separate /home partition, then reinstall to 64 bit and keep /home [23:56] mistawright: I'm actually curious to know if ubuntu server bothers with that toolset at all [23:56] might be a desktop-only piece [23:56] check resolv.conf to see if it's being managed [23:56] akurilin: yeah no networkmanager daemon either [23:56] I think I got it. It's not the first time I've installed the os. Just the first time I replaced it since partitioning the hard drive. every other time I just let ubuntu take the entire HDD and fully wiped it [23:56] Highest5: right. [23:57] But I'm off, hopefully, I'll return with good news. Thanks again beandog and k1l [23:57] Highest5: if you're uncertain though, I'd do a dry run. I'd be unhappy if I lost 500 Gb of data.
