I haven't tried the ubuntu installer yet, but on my past laptop that was the behavior [00:29] irreverant: well you see, there are reasons for this. first off, ipconfig on windows doesn't tell you your public IP either. it tells you your internal LAN one. second, 'ifconfig' is 'interface' configuration, whilst DNS is application layer. totally different [00:31] nurow: i'm not sure what you're replying to? [00:32] yes a know that, however, its useful information to have at a quick glance.... [00:32] you said that if it were a hybrid drive i wouldn't see two drives.. [00:33] nurow: oh right, sorry forgot about that one - yeah true hybrid drives handle the cacheing internally [00:33] depends what you've got [00:33] irreverant: i see what you mean, but ifconfig -a followed by checking out /etc/resolv.conf is no biggy [00:33] nurow: If your drive shows up in GNU/Linux like two drives then you have something very similar to FakeRAID. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:34] When I do ./configure before compiling a program it tells me: "Location of "tcl.h": not found" and "Location of "tk.h": not found" although I did install tcl8.6-dev and tk8.6-dev.

One, it's hard to help you with something if I can't try it myself. If you had told me what piece of software you were installing when you first asked I might have had it built myself now, and would be able to tell you how I did it. For another thing, most of the time that people come into this channel asking about compiling from source they just don't know how to search the repositories ... [02:07] ... yet, and should just install packages normally instead. [02:08] if pastie supports sending an unmodified text/plain version, yeah [02:08] (oh, and paste.ubuntu.com is so unrealiable clever that it rejects any text starting with the string (regardless of highlighting settings... which sounds like a horrible idea to me.

[08:01] Hello [08:02] CreamedChicken : This is Hogan from China === lyh is now known as Hogan [08:03] I rebooted in to Windows, deleted the Ubuntu partitions (150 GB /home, 20 GB /, and 4 GB swap), and resized the Windows partition to take up the space. I had tried to uninstall using os-uninstaller, but there were still grub entries left over. [08:03] how do i see all available displays from the terminal? [08:04] CreamedChicken, update grub and they should vanis [08:04] Well, I want to get rid of grub, I just want the Windows boot loader. [08:06] This is the current scenario: I deleted the Ubuntu entries using EasyBCD so only Windows was left. When I rebooted, it booted in to Windows 8 by default, so that works, but when I checked EasyBCD, there was Windows Boot Loader and Ubuntu, so Ubuntu came back. [08:06] bootrec /rebuildbcd [08:06] CreamedChicken, ##windows is the channel you need then. [08:06] Windows Boot Loader boots Windows, but when I choose Ubuntu, grub goes in to panic mode [08:06] bootrec /rebuildbcd in CMD [08:06] Hogan: I did that from a USB [08:07] boot computer form cd , and type shift + F10 ,then bootrec /rebuildbbcd [08:07] K, I'll do that again.

[09:10] jinx__: I'm not entirely sure, but you might want to check if purge removes /var/lib/mysql/* [09:10] that's where all the DBs are are === omega_ is now known as Guest46106 [09:11] I fixed that issue by creating a symlink there to /home/mysql instead (issue of sql taking up space) [09:12] only problem is connot acess :/ [09:13] jinx__: it needs to be r/w by mysql user [09:13] hi all can anyone assist me in this 3g confiuration? been struggling for few days with it: http://pastebin.com/Gvrgbjkk [09:14] somsip: , example pelase of command [09:14] its 5am and been at this for hours now :( [09:14] jinx__: chown -R mysql:mysql /home/mysql [09:15] jinx__: and chmod -R 755 /home/mysql [09:15] or whatever user your mysql is configure to run as ;) [09:15] oh, that's already chmodded. check the error here http://askubuntu.com/questions/390149/can-not-re-install-mysql-cannot-access-var-lib-mysql-memory88-no-such [09:15] jinx__: I wouldn't want to give you something not knowing how it will affect a symlink. Suggest you put the DB files back to /var/lib/mysql, chown mysql:mysql -R /var/lib/mysql and restart mysqld [09:17] jinx__: iptable probably needs to be 777 as mysql user will need full access, which is not safe so you need to use groups and sticky bits if you insist on using the symlink [09:17] can't restart mysql as I can't install it because of said error in link :/ [09:17] jinx__: after you fix the location of the DB files, restart it [09:17] jinx__: your other solution (since purging is an option for you), is to purge mysql, remove (or move out of the way) /var/lib/mysql and install mysql again [09:18] Sup Ubuntu chat [09:18] jinx__: and after that, mv the DB files to /var/lib/mysql and make sure the perms are correct... [09:18] Okay [09:18] somsip: , sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1 mysql-common correct? [09:19] jinx__: I've never done it. Remove the symlink first whatever you do next though [09:19] command to remove symlink in /home/somsip? Removing all sql files doesnt matter, no data is important to me there yet. [09:20] i mean [09:20] well, I've done aptitude remove mysql-server-5.1_ (see the _) to purge. not sure about apt-get [09:20] home/mysql [09:20] lol [09:20] jinx__: unlink [09:20] command please. if you can [09:20] jinx__: then, no offence like, but you seem to have gone a cack-handed way about setting this up. Get it working in the default install dirs first, and then fiddle with it to get it how you want [09:20] beware, unlink on symlink will remove it. unlink on directory will also remove that directory [09:21] jinx__: as per man unlink: unlink /home/mysql will remove the /home/mysql directory or link if it's a link. I understand /var/lib/mysql is the actual link, so unlink /var/lib/mysql [09:21] You're right, somsip. When I was importing my .sql file and seeing it failed because of space, it just pissed me off and kinda tried to find someway to fix it. Hate these different partitions for differnet folders thing.

[09:25] a space would do [09:25] I unlinked it though [09:25] jinx__, you can use /say command in irc to say things which start with slash [09:25] //// [09:25] Okay thanks :) [09:26] works in most of the clients [09:26] i think [09:26] So I unlinked the symlink. However, I don't think I'll be able to move /home/mysql back to /var/lib/mysql [09:26] due to space [09:27] jinx__: how about (since no data in the sql), remove the /home/mysql and /var/lib/mysql directories, purge mysql install and install it from fresh. Then see if it works. [09:27] okk [09:27] hello [09:28] hello [09:28] halo [09:28] so 'rm /var/lib/mysql', yes? [09:28] hallo [09:28] jinx__: I'd just flag that the mysql uninstaller might complain over the absence of /var/lib.mysql [09:28] how do I make the clock/time appear on my screen? [09:29] :-) [09:29] I want the time to show up on the top right of my screen, it doesn't show up anywhere [09:29] okay, somsip [09:29] so 'rm /var/lib/mysql', yes? [09:30] Firefly67: What Ubuntu version are you using? [09:30] 13.10 [09:30] can somebody help me with my dual-boot issue [09:30] T_T [09:30] hi i just try to connect my at91sam9g35ek board to ubuntu pc through gadget serial g_serial,but when i try to open minicom it shows minicom: cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory, but there is a file in /dev/ttyACM0, can you help me [09:31] i think windows got wiped out after i installed ubuntu [09:31] Firefly67: OK, first let's make sure you have the clock installed: sudo apt-get install indicator-datetime [09:31] i did that once. [09:31] jefersen: What happens when you try to boot Windows now? [09:31] jinx__: first uninstall mysql, THEN rm -rf /var/lib/mysql [09:31] Why do you say that? [09:31] hi, can anyone explain to me how i can install a package from tasty-backports onto my saucy system? i've added a tasty-backports line and done an apt-get update and that seems ok but when i do a 'apt-cache showpkg weechat/tasty-backports', i dont see the latest version available [09:32] well celroc, i don't even have the option to boot windows so i can't answer that question [09:32] tasty? [09:32] [09:32] installing, I didn't know clock had to be installed, I thought that was a basic feature that came with the initial ubuntu installation [09:32] jefersen: in linux, fdisk -l [09:32] rob_, because TRUSTY is not supported yet [09:32] jefersen pastebin the output [09:33] should i enter that in the terminal? [09:33] ObrienDave: sorry, trusty.. even if its not supported cant i force a package install from the backports repo? [09:33] n E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock [09:33] rob_, as TRUSTY hasn't even reached Alpha yet, not sure backporting is even possible [09:33] rob_: Thanks for "tasty-backports" you made me laugh over my morning tea [09:33] and how are you using my name like that [09:33] sudo update-grub jeferson [09:33] Rory: :D [09:33] rofl [09:33] jefersen: I type it in (your username) [09:33] Rory, done [09:33] jefersen: yes, in terminal. [09:33] (iptable) check [09:33] >.> [09:34] ObrienDave: there is a backports repo on archive.ubuntu.com [09:34] yes, that does highlight it for me. [09:34] oh ok [09:34] ObrienDave: for trusty.. [09:34] Firefly67: It is, but it's possible it was uninstalled somehow, perhaps if you were adding extra PPAs or removing existing indicators. Regardless, could you run that command? if the clock is already installed it will do nothing and we can look at another possible cause [09:34] Another un-related question. The only thing stopped me from replacing my windows to ubuntu is Adobe. How well can you guys say photoshop runs ? Last time I check was 2009 and it was a bit sketchy and slow. under wine. [09:34] fdisk -l | pastebinit [09:34] i got this error minicom: cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory after trying to open ACM0 in minicom, what is that issues [09:34] (iptable) well theres no output on the terminal when i enter that [09:34] and for my produces an audible sound so that all my neighbours know I have a message on IRC :P [09:34] lol [09:34] rory:bozz please the details http://paste.ubuntu.com/6565775/ [09:34] jinx__: still slow. === JoshuaP-afk is now known as JoshuaP [09:34] ty imghost that's what I was going to ask for :) [09:34] jinx__: though under linux, one would use GIMP [09:35] Rory, :) [09:35] ah, okay. [09:35] jefersen: none at all? fdisk -l - that should give you list of partitions [09:35] imghost: What Ubuntu version? [09:35] Rory, yes, it did something, seems to just have upgraded a couple of packages [09:35] jinx__: http://www.winehq.org/search/?cx=partner-pub-0971840239976722%3Aw9sqbcsxtyf&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=photoshop&siteurl=www.winehq.org%2F&ref=&ss=1335j240129j9 [09:35] Rory, 12.04.3lts 64bits [09:36] Getting these two errors while purging: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6565788/ [09:36] (iptable) it doesn't show anything [09:36] jefersen, copy to terminal: fdisk -l | pastebinit [09:36] jefersen, sudo fdisk -l [09:36] Firefly67: OK now log out and in, and see if your clock is there [09:36] ok, let me try that, Rory [09:36] dang, forgot the sudo ;/ [09:37] imghost: Can you please run "sudo apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol" and then run "yes | sudo sensors-detect" [09:37] Rory, i did install it === siya is now known as Siya [09:37] jefersen ah yes. as Belday pointed out: sudo fdisk -l [09:37] jinx__: Looks like you have another package manager doing stuff. [09:38] How does ps run in vm [09:38] jinx__: are you using a GUI? [09:38] (iptable) how do i paste it here [09:38] OK imghost now can you run "sudo pwmconfig" [09:38] jefersen: Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel [09:38] ok [09:38] jefersen: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [09:38] No, however this error was spamming and I had to force close: http://askubuntu.com/questions/390149/can-not-re-install-mysql-cannot-access-var-lib-mysql-memory88-no-such [09:38] ubuntu server 12.04 [09:38] via Putty [09:38] jefersen: yes, the "pastebinit" application is a shortcut which will do that for you :) [09:39] (iptable) The program 'pastebinit' can be found in the following packages: * pastebinit * pastebinit [09:39] jinx__: looks like you have dpkg or apt still running. Try ps -ef to find it and kill it [09:39] Rory, its scanning 1min please [09:39] jefersen: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [09:40] Rory, i am scanning all adapter [09:40] fyi imghost I'm just looking at this http://askubuntu.com/a/46135 [09:40] (iptable) http://paste.ubuntu.com/6565817/ [09:41] jefersen: oh, you got GPT. Do gdisk -l | pastebinit [09:41] Rory, already did that but lets do this again now may be earlier i do make mistakes [09:41] iptable: gdisk is a thing? You just changed my life [09:41] sudo gdisk -l that is. if gdisk doesn't exist, then first sudo apt-get install gdisk [09:41] Rory: lol yes. it's fdisk with GPT support [09:43] Rory, after scanning all adapters http://paste.ubuntu.com/6565830/ now will add lines [09:43] I want to convert my 13.10 installation to EFI boot, I dont have EFI partition so is it ok just to shrink one of existing partition and create an EFI partition for convertion or do i have to convert HD to GPT [09:44] Sigh I can't find it, iptable, but I'm tired so I'm probably just not noticing it. You think a server restart should help? [09:44] (iptable) http://paste.ubuntu.com/6565837/ [09:44] asad2005: http://falstaff.agner.ch/2012/11/20/convert-mbr-partition-table-to-gpt-ubuntu/ [09:45] jinx__: yes, the restart will resolve that issue [09:45] jefersen: sudo gdisk -l [09:46] Thanks for helping btw, really appreciate it [09:46] no probs [09:47] hello, is there any command which can show me my rights on the file or directory ? [09:47] (iptable) http://paste.ubuntu.com/6565843/ [09:47] jefersen: sorry, my bad. use: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda [09:47] (iptable) ok, no problem ^^ [09:47] cscsaba242: ls -l [09:48] May I ask, why are directories have different partitions and not all in /root? its really annoying. [09:48] OVH [09:48] (iptable) http://paste.ubuntu.com/6565848/ [09:48] cscsaba242: rights are on the lft. rwx rwx rwx - read write execute for owner user, group and everyone else in that order. Further to the right, you got user and group owners listed [09:48] jinx__: that's how you installed it. During install, you may partition however you wish. [09:48] (iptable) so it looks like my windows is pretty much gone, lol [09:49] iptable: but if I visit a remote intranet server how can make sure i will be in the group wich has rights to execute ? [09:49] (iptable) don't know how the partitions got messed up [09:49] iptable: can the group nested into each other ? [09:49] jefersen: yes. you only have a linux partition. was it windows 8 you had? [09:49] Yeah but if I tried to add the rest of space to / it wouldn't let me because there was already a partition for /, and wouldnt let me remove that one ether. [09:50] (iptable) yup [09:51] jefersen: Not sure though. You have linux installed in GPT, only thing I can think of is that windows could be using MBR and after conversion, windows got nuked. Although I thought that windows 8 used GPT. Not sure here. Too many factors to configure. Once thing is sure: it's gone. [09:51] iptable: groups command maybe enough for me, to show my groups [09:51] i could find out [09:51] earlier [09:51] Rory, /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed, how can i install it? [09:51] (iptable) haha, alright. at least i have that answered [09:51] cscsaba242: can you try to explain exactly what you mean? If you want to find out what groups you are part of, check /etc/groups for example [09:52] (iptable) so any idea how i can install windows again with a dual boot [09:52] Does anybody know what happened to /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch on Ubuntu 13.10? It seems to be no longer in place, but the 32-bit pakcages are still available on amd64. Is it in a different place? [09:52] iptable, how does that show win8 being gone? curious to know [09:52] Sucks [09:52] (iptable) and not fail this time [09:52] jefersenObrienDave: there is no windows partition. that's pretty much gone [09:52] lol [09:53] ObrienDave: there is no windows partition. that's pretty much gone [09:53] dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [09:53] iptable: a task consist of must command, i want to know will I have rights issues when I go throuh them [09:53] jefersen: use gparted to graphically partition your drive. make sure you got windows partition and linux partition. once you install windows though, your GRUB linux boot loader will be gone and you will have to boot into linux recovery to reinstall GRUB [09:53] much command, sorry [09:54] cscsaba242: sorry you got me lost [09:54] (iptable) i only understood 20% of what you just said [09:54] iptable, not following, I see 3 partitions [09:54] jinx__ run sudo dpkg --configure -a [09:54] ObrienDave: seriously, check the partition CODES on that output [09:54] iptable and jefersen: You'll probably want to do that from a LiveCD. I don't think you can re-format the drive using the already existing Linux installation [09:55] iptable, yep, i see it now ;) [09:55] ObrienDave: 8300 = linux, 8200 = linux swap, EF00 = EFI system. it's gone :( [09:55] yup [09:55] and mysql was installed! [09:56] hello? [09:56] jefersen: if you are not comfortable with that, I suggest start from scratch. First wipe all partitions and create 1 that's 50% of drive space. Install windows there. THEN boot into linux live-cd and install Ubuntu, choosing to utilise free available space. [09:56] jinx__ so that works now? [09:57] i would like to put unity on the bottom of the screen [09:57] (iptable) yeah probably should do that, any idea how i can recover my windows key? [09:57] and ideas [09:57] jefersen: should be on a nice sticker on the computer somewhere [09:57] jefersen: otherwise, no. [09:57] iptable: It's supposed to be somewhere on the case of your computer, IIRC [09:57] celroc: why you telling me ;) [09:58] or bottom of laptop [09:58] the side is nice but bottom is better [09:58] iptable: Because I'm too tired to pay attention to who I'm typing to. Haha! [09:58] ObrienDave gdisk is awesome, but the partition codes as opposed to partition NAMES is annoying as hell, I know [09:58] claycorn: As far as I'm aware, you can't move it http://askubuntu.com/questions/312955/move-unity-launcher-to-bottom-of-the-screen [09:58] haha, nice. [09:58] (iptable) yeah hopefully its around, else im scrwed [09:58] iptable: My sda1 part starts at 1 and ends at 3648 so i cannot convert to GPT? [09:58] bummer so much for that ' [09:58] ?:P [09:59] Does anyone know what difference is between theese two Ram memorys [09:59] iptable, hopefully I can resurrect my 3TB WD green with it ;) [09:59] asad2005: yes. You do need space for GPT. You *could* try to shrink the beginning of the partition but that's risky. I would suggest backup the data and reinstall for safety.

[10:01] claycorn, NSA [10:01] imghost: Sorry was afk. Try "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools restart" and then try again [10:01] nsa? [10:01] Hi! Any idea why Postgres could be failing to run using "service postgresql start" but run fine when I start it using "postmaster -D ..." ? [10:01] iptable: The first part is my root and already backed up my /home part. To shrink it i need to boot live cd then with Gparted i can do the shrink right ? [10:02] I confirmed the log directory is writable by the "postgres" user and the disk has plenty of free space [10:02] asad2005: you can shrink with gparted, not sure you can shrink at the beginning. You will have to start gparted and check [10:02] andre2: define failing to run. like, error messages. [10:02] iptable: ok thanks i will try [10:03] cfhowlett, you're bad ;P [10:04] iptable: it just gives me a generic error message "Postgresql failed to start. check the log files" [10:04] iptable: but there's nothign there [10:04] *nothing [10:05] anyways....... [10:07] iptable: sadly, now. getting socket error and my.cnf is empty :/ [10:07] no* [10:07] andre2: check the log files. i.e. check the log. Probably some permission issue [10:08] iptable: yeah, but the log doesn't have anything new, only stuff from yesterday, and I've confirmed that the "postgres" user can write to it [10:09] andre2: check the /etc/init/postgres to see how it is getting started [10:11] jinx__: apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1; rm -rf /etc/mysql; rm -rf /var/lib/mysql; apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 [10:11] the brute-force method [10:11] ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [10:11] hey guys whats up [10:11] and it my.cnf is still empty after that, dpkg reconfigure the package [10:12] xiut: ceiling, sky, birds, lotsa stuff [10:12] iptable: it's a big shell scripts that calls other shells scripts, frankly I'd rather not debug it if I can avoid it.

It used to be easy in 11 [10:36] jinx do a quick reboot there is some zombie process running [10:36] RealRave1: Ctrl+Alt+T [10:36] RealRave1: CTRL+ALT+T [10:36] Alright [10:36] geirha: ok that has changed as well. why make it easy :) [10:36] RealRave1: Alt+F2 did not open a terminal in 11 either, it opened the run dialog [10:36] *11.04 or 11.10 [10:36] ah, ok and then I would use xterm or kterm or whatever that was called [10:37] btw appreciate your help. Koma . Seriously. [10:37] Alt+F2 should work the same, just looks quite different [10:37] But I will remember that CTRL ALT T now, that;s handy - do I need to sudo for mounting? [10:37] hello everyone, I got a small issue with bzr saying unsupported locale settings, this has never happened to me before only now with 13.10 Saucy, probably because I have some locale settings in a few areas [10:37] yaw [10:37] How do I change everything to english in case this is the actual problem [10:38] RealRave1: No, just run mount as your user and paste the *one* line corresponding to the shared folder [10:38] geirha: ok, I still need to figure out what that is but I think it is some sort of //vbox protocol [10:38] geirha: is there any way I can list the protocols available? === gry is now known as Guest52675 [10:40] geirha: I think it is something like mount -t vboxsf windows_share /media/windows_share [10:40] RealRave1: you don't see any lines containing something on /media/sf_something ? [10:40] hello [10:40] So Koma , how are you doing? :] [10:40] RealRave1: i think that is better for you if you try to ask this question in #virtualbox channel [10:40] geirha: I need to figure out a way to share my clipboard again. at the moment I need to just type everything [10:41] RealRave1: If you do it manually, you'd run a mount command like that, yes. But I asked you to run mount with no arguments. That will make it list all currently mounted filesystems [10:41] Koma: So restarted. Run purge? [10:41] geirha: alright, I did not understand that I thought mount always needs arguments [10:41] RealRave1: left mouse button to mark the *one* line, middle click to paste it [10:41] jinx yep [10:41] geirha: ok this lists a bunch of stuff [10:41] i need ask but for talk? [10:42] geirha: there is a long list I need to figure out which one first [10:42] Which Language [10:42] RealRave1: should be near the end, and should contain ... on /media/sf_ ... [10:43] Koma: , done. [10:43] where is the name of the shared folder [10:43] apt-get update && aptitude install mysql-server [10:43] geirha: I think it is this one: Linuz-Share on /media/sf_Linux-Share type vboxsf (gid=999,rw) [10:43] hello [10:43] hello [10:43] hi, everybody i am here first time [10:43] RealRave1: good, ok, so any user that is a member of group with id 999 should have access to it. [10:44] Koma: ed to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 116 kB will be used. E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the mysql-server-5.5 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the mysql-server-5.5 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download [10:44] RealRave1: getent group 999 # will show you the group entry [10:44] geirha: ok, can I add my user to this gorup [10:44] can someone suggest me a channel wherein users discuss about open directories? [10:44] irc channel [10:44] i think that you are not updating well [10:44] paste.ubuntu.com [10:44] geirha: it says vboxsd:x:999 [10:44] paste the apt-get update [10:45] geirha: is there a set user group command or something? [10:45] RealRave1: a vboxsd? not vboxsf? [10:45] sry typo. I need to figure out a way to share the clipboard like it did with Ubuntu 11 [10:45] RealRave1: to add your user to the group, run sudo adduser "$USER" vboxsd [10:45] Relsak: Then you have to log out and back in again for that change to take effect. [10:45] Koma: Hope gist is fine. https://gist.github.com/kawohi/ba54079b08604ef0bece [10:46] geirha: I am getting "only one of two names allowed." === adi__ is now known as asamasery [10:46] dpkg -l |grep mysql [10:46] hi [10:46] come package has broken dependencies probably [10:46] geirha: sorry I copied the typo you copied :) [10:47] iHR mysql-server-5.5 5.5.34-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (no description available) Koma [10:47] geirha: hmm, the same if I enter sudo adduser "$Axel" vboxsf [10:47] geirha: my user name is Axel [10:47] geirha: not sure if the $ was deliberately? [10:47] RealRave1: "$USER" expands to Axel if your username is Axel. $Axel is wrong === Sandra__ is now known as Sandra [10:48] geirha: ok. sorry I made a wrong assumption. so the $ is like a % in windows? [10:48] dpkg --purge mysql-server-5.5 [10:48] geirha: and it is case sensitive :) [10:48] RealRave1: $var expands the value of the variable named var, yes. And USER is a special environment variable that will contain your username. [10:49] RealRave1: Yes, most things in linux is case-sensitive :) [10:49] geirha: ok this time the command worked. how do I get access to the folder [10:49] RealRave1: log out and back in [10:49] ubuntu [10:50] root@ns4005447:~# dpkg --purge mysql-server-5.5 dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.5 (--purge): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.5 Koma [10:50] geirha: ok I will try that. I will probably shut down and look for cliboard sharing and then start it up again [10:50] geirha: by the way is there a way to tell Ubuntu to reopen any explorer (or file search thingy windows) on restart? [10:51] geirha: also is there a way to show file URLs (full path) in the explorer thingies? [10:51] jinx wth have you done to this poor package? [10:51] ha :-) [10:51] Koma: lmfao :/ [10:51] I don't like the way everything is buttons you cannot copy & paste as URIs / file paths. very unfriendly [10:51] dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mysql-server-5.5 [10:52] done, Koma [10:52] hey guys, is it possible to 'suspend' or 'hibernate' when running ubuntu on an external hard drive? [10:52] I've read that there are some issues with powering the drive and was hoping someone could help clarify [10:52] aaaaand ? [10:52] RealRave1: Not sure. There used to be a "Save Session" feature. Not sure if it's still around in Unity. Never used it. [10:52] jinx__: if it did that without error you've successfully uninstalled and can install again if you'd like to install it [10:53] geirha: what exactly is Unity? is there any way I can get my old UBuntu 11 desktop manager back? [10:53] Command please? I want to make sure [10:53] geirha: I liked very much waht I had with U11 until my vbox partition ran out of space [10:54] dpkg -l |grep mysql [10:54] geirha: also for some reason resizing the host window is broken - I only get a couple of fixed screen resolutions now [10:54] look if there is a remaining package [10:54] geirha: but that's propbably a vbox proble,m [10:54] if not try reinstalling it with aptitude [10:54] aptitude install -y mysql-server [10:54] geirha: it would be great if I could disable Unity === onder`_ is now known as onder` [10:54] and for the god sake follow the instruction [10:55] Nothing appears, Koma [10:55] you mean "it exists without output"; if so, that's something :-) [10:55] installing [10:55] geirha: some success here - I can now access the shared folder, which means I can at least start testing Addons under LINux again, so thanks for that !! :) [10:55] Okay so it installed without errors [10:56] how can I test it out? lol [10:56] rm -r gives me that: foo no such file or directory [10:56] the file is there. just has some very weird name... [10:56] jinx__: did it ask you for a root mysql password? do you know the password? mysql needs a root username and password (of it, not of the system) to get started. [10:57] schnitzl: is its name 'foo'? [10:57] no [10:57] ;) [10:57] No, it did not ask, gry [10:57] gry, no [10:57] I will just check my old Ubuntu 11 to see what the desktop was called there... [10:57] schnitzl: try using tab complete then. 'rm -r ' [10:57] Hey [10:58] gry, lol sure i did this ;) [10:58] it used the old password [10:58] it works :) [10:58] How do I find out which desktop is installed in Ubuntu?@ [10:58] of course it works [10:58] thank you somsip iptable , Koma , and gry for helping =) [10:58] jinx__: ok. you found the password, and you came to the conclusion that it works. what does? the password, or mysql? [10:58] :) have a good time and look forward at mariaDB [10:58] its not that the file is not there, its some problem with the filename i guess gry [10:58] mysql [10:58] i'm in mysql> [10:58] Hello, can somebody suggest commandline tool, allowing to do http reqests against unix socket? [10:58] For some reason Ubuntu11 resizes its graphics automatically, Ubutnu12 doesn't anynmore :( :( [10:58] ok, that's lovely, jinx__ :) [10:59] mysql will be dropped by all the major linux distro in favour of mariadb [10:59] Is there a setting in Ubunut that tells it there is a vrtual graphics adaptor [10:59] ? [10:59] that is full opensource. [10:59] RealRave1: lspci [10:59] web_ervin: hi. a commandline browser? [10:59] Koma: lspci ? [10:59] pcman fm doesnt even show the file [10:59] something like curl or wget [10:59] will list all the hardware extensions [11:00] ..and it shoud be in standard repo, not on github etc. [11:00] Koma: I heard maria db is nice but too lazy to look at it :) [11:00] So I'm about to do one more thing related to mysql [11:00] http://serverfault.com/a/480686/157343 [11:00] tell me if you see any problems with doing that. creating symlinks [11:01] Koma: lspci lists a "VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter" [11:01] Koma: that is what Virtualbox gives it [11:02] even root cant delete it. it is as if the file is not there...isnt there anything stornger than rm -r ? [11:02] Koma: it lists the same in Ubuntu12 [11:02] schnitzl: rm -f [11:02] Koma, sorry that i ment [11:02] or mv /path/toFile /dev/null [11:02] Koma: How does it know the resulution of the virtual screen? === Gryllida is now known as gry [11:03] Koma: I can check display settings on both systems if this helps... [11:03] RealRave1: via a complex method that ask a list of working resolution via an emulated screen [11:03] Koma: Obvbiously something that has changed from 11 to 12? [11:03] RealRave1: please repeat the main problem === gry is now known as gry_ === gry_ is now known as gry [11:05] Koma: when I resize my Virtualbox window in which the UBuntu Client runs, the desktop does not resize. it remains at a fixed size. In Ubuntu (with Virtualbox additionas installed) it would automatically resize to give me a bigger (or smaller) desktop. Note that it did not scale the pixels just add more picels depenging on the host window [11:06] Koma: But my Ubuntu11 (where it works) runs no Unity so that might also be a factor? [11:06] RealRave1: this kind of question are unsupported here, i think that you need to ask in virtualbox channel support [11:06] not for being lazy but the drivers are not written by ubuntu [11:06] so we can not know how those things works [11:08] Koma: ok. I can ask them. as regards DIsplay settings there is just one additional Reslution listed which is always in sync with the window that I have ubuntu in. is there any way I can install the old desktop manager of Ubuntu11 into 12 or am I forced to use Unity? [11:08] RealRave1: Sounds like you haven't installed the guest additions for Ubuntu 12.04 yet [11:08] The resolution has notthing to be with the real supported resolution [11:08] geirha: Oh I do. I can pastebin the output of hte installation if you like [11:08] the driver of virtualbox bust update the optimal resolution to the virtual display every time the console is resized [11:08] geirha: I actually reinstalled it when you were helping me, just to make sure [11:08] so what you see is simply wrong [11:09] Koma: "wrong" :) [11:09] i am using ubuntu 12.04....when i run apt-get install,it says unable to locate package....i am not able to install any package...how to fix this? [11:10] Koma: do you mean virtual screen = wrong? I don't quite understand the context... [11:10] RealRave1: Yes, could you pastebin that output? [11:10] geirha: will do. I got the clipboard working now :) [11:11] RealRave1 : in my ubuntu 12.04, when I use apt-get install ,it says Unable to locate package...i am not able to install any package...how to fix this? [11:11] RealRave1: there is no screen and no graphic card [11:11] teju: you are asking a complete Linux noob. I have no idea, ask me a windows question ;) [11:12] so if your virtual screen says that the resoluzion i 100x100 pixel virtually the driver will accept this nonsense [11:12] teju: apt-get update [11:12] Koma: yes, they are "virtual" constructs like any hardware that is shown in Linux. Even the USB ports and drives aren#t "real" [11:12] i tried [11:13] Koma: there is a driver between anything "real" that gives access to the guest OS. so the term "wrong" might apply to anything [11:13] RealRave1: yep you are a layer under this it's a virtual device ina virtual environment wich is commanded by a hipervisor emulated in a x64 processor [11:13] auscompgeek: i tried sudo,apt-get update,.... but,no use [11:13] so yes [11:13] Koma: but the interesting thing is the same driver that works in Ubuntu 11 fails in Ubuntu 12. [11:14] Koma: unless there is some setting in Ubuntu somewhere that can improve it working with this. Usually this is the "guest additions disk" by vbox. [11:14] RealRave1: Note that there's no Ubuntu 11 or Ubuntu 12 [11:14] why is this interesting? from ubuntu 11 to ubuntu 12 there is a lot of developing in the kernel... [11:14] geirha: here is the pastebing https://pastebin.mozilla.org/3767947 [11:15] teju: could you please expand on that? [11:15] geirha: ? how do I find out the version number [11:16] lsb_release -rs [11:16] RealRave1: Anyway, that indeed looks like it succeeded, but it still doesn't work after a restart of the guest? [11:17] auscompgeek: i tried various options like sudo apt-get install,apt-get update.but,still,i get the same errot [11:17] geirha: ok, by the way I found out about my desktop managers: Ubuntu "11" runs GNOME 3.0.1 Ubuntu "12" runs Nautilus 3.4.2 [11:17] Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 uses Gnome with Unity by default [11:17] Nautilus is the file browser [11:18] geirha: can I disable unity? === embed-ns is now known as phil-ns [11:18] geirha: I only printed what I saw in help > about [11:18] geirha: forgot that this is context sensityuve [11:18] !notunity | RealRave1 [11:18] RealRave1: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [11:18] ubottu: thanks I will try that :-) [11:18] RealRave1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:19] geirha: I ran some system updates in the meantime, which seems to have fixed the resizing issue! thanks [11:19] geirha: maybe the latest video drivers were not downloaded yet [11:19] (or installed) [11:19] geirha: so the last thing is to get my nicer Applicatrion menu back at the top, (which probablyt means removin unity) [11:20] RealRave1: In that case you want gnome-panel [11:20] geirha: cool. is that in syustem settings? [11:21] (the real version numbers were 11.10 and 12.04 [11:22] !gnome-panel | RealRave1 [11:22] RealRave1: the release number is YY.MM in case you weren't aware [11:23] geirha: no I wasn't :-) so the canonical (release) version of Ubuntu is from 1204? [11:23] geirha: that's not too bad as far as OS goes [11:23] RealRave1: open the software center -> search for gnome-panel -> install [11:24] RealRave1: 12.04 was released in April of 2012, yes [11:24] geirha: that's cool. that';s pretty new for an OS release. compared with Windows. [11:25] geirha: it found "Launcher and docking facility for GOME" is that what I am looking for? [11:25] *GNOME [11:26] RealRave1: Yes. And once installed, you'll be able to select it at the login screen === kimiamania is now known as [BNC]kimiamania === __kimiamania__ is now known as kimiamania [11:30] geirha: ok, will do that now [11:31] I have a service (deluge) that I can use start deluged after my system boots. But it won't start up automatically on boot. Does any one know how I can get it to automatically boot on start up? [11:31] hi [11:32] after system update i cannot print [11:32] hey, i've got mint 14 installed on a hp machine, dual boot with windows 8, i've turned of the efui boot and installed grub, it has a sata and a ssd, sata has win 8 on and ssd with mint 15, /var and swap are partiions on the sata with / whole of the ssd. I've put the grub boot on the ssd and told bios to boot that hd, but it can't boot, if i put live cd in and select boot from local device I get the grub screen can select mint14 or win8 and boot into mint fine [11:32] Processing - "Unable to locate printer "GEN7A14E1". [11:32] what to do ? [11:32] geirha: ok I can now log in and getg 4 choices: GNOME classis, CNOME classic (no effects) Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2D. I guess I need classic to disable Unity? [11:33] RealRave1: Then one named just Ubuntu is Unity [11:33] geirha: aha. ok, so I will just try GNOME instead [11:34] geirha: ahhh! very nice :) :) :) thanks, now I am able to find my way around again [11:35] I just downloaded die install image for ubuntu 12.04 LTS. They call it a "CD image". But that stupid thing is 707Mb, thus not fitting on a CD. Now I can't burn that damn thing. Any suggestions? [11:37] geirha: that menu is so much more friendly :) :) :) [11:37] this you could use a USB flash drive to install it with [11:37] Koma , geirha: thanks a lot ofor your support [11:37] my printer stopped resolving samba share printer name, now it works only with IP address [11:37] anyone knows why? === pengunix_ is now known as pengunix [11:38] ip address of printer* [11:38] I havent got an USB flash drive, it died a few weeks ago. And I haven't got a DVD either. [11:40] Hi, I want to enable desktop sharing on a remote Ubuntu system. How can I do this via SSH? Running "vino-preferences" via SSH doesn't work because it cant connect to the remote dbus session... [11:40] I have the following problem: phantom keypresses, that is some of my keypresses get replaced by another key... [11:40] today it happened with both konsole and pycharm (java based ide for python) [11:40] before I have had similar problem with skype onl... [11:41] seems to be really random and restarting the program helps, but... [11:41] keyboard fail [11:41] in case of konsole wouldn't want to restart the program [11:41] splstn: no [11:41] Insatll image 12.04 LTS: Why call it "CD" if it doesn't fit on a CD. And why make it 707Mb? THey could leave out a few stubid games, making the image 700Mb or less. If make it bigger than 700Mb why not make it real fat since one needs a DVD anyway? I just don't get it. I just frustrated now. [11:42] splstn: or my keyboard is superintelligent and knows which program i am typing to... P === embed-ns is now known as phil-ns [11:43] !minimal | this [11:43] this: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:44] pwuertz: you need to set DISPLAY and the DBUS_SESSION-environment variables correctly, yes. You might be able to find them by looking in ~/.dbus/session-bus/ [11:45] geirha: there are 4 files in session-bus.. is one of them supposed to go into DBUS_SESSION ? [11:45] pwuertz: look inside them. Hard to say which one's the valid one. You need DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS [11:46] pwuertz: Alternatively, you can find the pid of e.g. natuilus, and check its env with tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/thepid/environ [11:49] What part is responsible for creating the /etc/localtime ? When it is the installer, why isn't this managed by debconf? [11:50] geirha: thanks! getting the nautilus env worked [11:50] my printer stopped resolving samba printer name, now it works only with IP addres [11:50] any1 knows why [11:50] The minimal. I see. That is an option. I am a bit concerned about the text based installer though. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bad with IT, I write code myself for a living. But the times when I liked to do DIY such things are long gone. How is that text based installer? DO I just have to type Y/N and to select options or do I have to audo apt-get and the like? [11:52] this: the text installer is very similar to the graphical one, terms are a bit misleading in that sense .. Y/n questions and the like yes [11:54] this: if you already have a working linux on the machine you want to install ubuntu 12.04, there's another way to, but i assume you don't have that option? [11:56] this: for some screenshots on what to expect in the text based installer, see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal for example [11:56] I myself have a ubuntu 10.04 LTS, using it right now. But I will install 12.04 LTS on dads notebook. He asked me to do so, because is Win XP is going extinct. HE asked ME for linux [sic]. I great day :). [11:57] What is when the internet connection is not very stable during net-install? Is that a problem? [11:58] this: that could be a road block indeed, it relies on the connection to get the packages [11:59] this: ask a friend to borrow a USB stick for an hour, if that's possible, that way you don't need a stable internet connection [12:01] What part is responsible for creating the /etc/localtime ? When it is the installer, why isn't this managed by debconf? [12:02] Well well well. Wait for the neighbour to return and ask him for a DVD or USB drive. Not the worst option. But wait... [12:03] this: lol. go buy a usb for $5 from walmart [12:03] I have 1Gb CF-Cards and a CF to IDE adapter and a "cable thing" to attach IDE/SATA drives to usb. Could that work? [12:03] this: what r u trying to do? [12:04] pgar23: No I don't. I wait for our customers to make me a USB drive for a present. Lol. [12:04] ok i am trying to remember the name of a few programs but for some reaason am drawing a blank. They are (at least two of them) "like movie maker" in MS [12:05] I try to install 12.04 LTS. But having no DVD and no USB drive. [12:05] i used them before on a similar distro, but the names, I cant remember at all for some reason [12:06] this: ask your dad for an early christmas present for himself, XP is going to die and funeral costs are way more expensive than a USB stick :p [12:06] hmm .. think "Open shot" was one of them (I am googling) [12:07] this, tell him that a USB stick is a LOT cheaper that win8 ;) [12:08] * xmetal shutters at Windows 8 [12:08] win8.1 is not that bad [12:08] once u get the hang of the new GUI [12:08] xmetal: kdenlive [12:08] well lets not go there [12:08] hahahaha [12:08] ty gordonjcp ... found them [12:09] pgar23: it's like the worst bits of Unity made worse, with none of the good bits [12:09] openshot, and kden where two of them [12:09] (i am hunting on the forums) [12:09] gordonjcp: lmao [12:09] pgar23: although to be fair, I don't really know my way around any version of Windows [12:09] i have to say that (despite not being my favorite DE) ... Unity is not as bad as I once thought [12:09] pgar23: so I've got a sort of a false summit on the learning curve ;-) [12:09] is there a way to get gedit to display it's tabs vertically?

[12:20] !nomodeset | pgar23 [12:20] pgar23: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[12:29] i also tried acpi_osi= and same activity [12:29] I was booting from usb, selecting install ubuntu and editing the boot params... [12:32] pgar23: easiest way is to hit F6 key after purple screen with a keyboard logo at the bottom, then choose nomodeset [12:32] Updating Java 8 is really annoying , :/ [12:33] take long time to update [12:33] glitsj16: I'm not even getting to the purple screen yet [12:33] pgar23: where do you get stuck? [12:33] right after I choose install ubuntu [12:34] black screen and the usb light doesn't flicker anymore like the computer is not reading the usb anymore (tried 3 separate usbs to make sure it was not that) [12:34] or maybe it is waiting for my input but I cannot see anything bcuz rthe black screen === dean|away is now known as dean [12:35] pgar23: you need to add the nomodeset option before that, look at the page i linked earlier under the heading 'How to enable kernel options on the livecd (before install)' [12:37] glitsj16: ya i took a look at that link. It does not tell you where to run thos params however, i ran them in the edit portion of the install [12:37] i scroll down to "Install Ubuntu" and hit "e" for edit [12:37] right after "setparams 'Install Ubuntu'" i type nomodeset then press f10 to install ... black screen [12:38] glitsj16: ^^^ [12:38] pgar23: do you get a purple screen with a keyboard logo at the bottom right after bios splash? [12:38] no [12:38] not yet [12:39] pgar23: strange, perhaps try to hold shift or esc key after bios splash to get it, not sure [12:41] pgar23: do you see the F1 -F6 menu on the bottom of the screen where you chose 'Install Ubuntu'? [12:41] glitsj16: no. It does not even get to that part. It prompts to install ubuntu, then i choose that and its a black screen === Guest87856 is now known as Zhaofeng_Li [12:42] pgar23: is this a minimal install perhaps? or the regular desktop from a live USB? [12:43] i hit f2 to opena CLI and grub> nomodeset did nothing but grub > acpi_osi= was accepted [12:43] glitsj16: it is a reg desktop from live usb [12:45] Hi, I've added deb-src http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse [12:45] to my sources.list [12:46] but when I try to run an apt-get source php5 it comes back with E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list [12:46] Am I missing something? [12:46] Badbit: apt-get update first [12:46] pgar23: that looks like a grub prompt, that won't work .. do you get a grub menu when holding shift or esc after bios splash? [12:47] jrib: Magic, thanks [12:48] glitsj16: ya it is a grub prompt because the normal boot mode is no good [12:49] hi [12:49] hi youtube... [12:50] pgar23: perhaps the iso was bad, out of ideas if those things aren't working i'm afraid [12:50] root, youtube? wrong channel === root is now known as Guest46924 [12:50] so the comp boots up, i repeatedly tap esc to access the boot options, choose UEFI: Sandisk Ultra, it prompts me to try ubuntu (also not working), install ubuntu, test for defects, I choose e to edit install ubuntu and type nomodeset, same black screen [12:50] flash animation are horizontally crunched and the colors are wrong on a fresh install with flash official plugin. anyone experienced this or has a workaround ? I cannot really play with flash settings because the settings dialog being in flash, it is unreadable [12:50] glitsj16: I formatted the usb, and re-installed from ubuntu site [12:50] glitsj16: thx for your help [12:51] nikokoo: is every thing blue in flash? [12:51] pgar23: strange, keep asking and hopefully someone chimes in with the magic bullet .. no problem [12:51] glitsj16: hahah. Ya. Thx man! [12:52] I will figure it out here soon [12:52] jrib: not blue, but sort of crunched and strange colors and horizontal lines [12:52] jrib: a bit like TV statics [12:55] coult installing ubuntu from usb fail bcuz the "Install Ubuntu" line reads: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed? Should I switch it to /usb/preseed...? === Ek_ is now known as Reacto [12:56] pgar23, no idea how/why your buntu is scrambled but here's a possible option: install the min to get our system basically set then add the goodies later === Zhaofeng_Li is now known as Guest94135 [12:56] !mini [12:56] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:56] pgar23: so you choose 'e' to edit, that's good .. did you add 'nomodeset' on the 'linux ..' line right after splash ? that's where it's supposed to be .. ignore if you already did this, just double-checking === Guest94135 is now known as Zhaofeng_Li [12:56] cfhowlett: ya that is a good suggestion. Will give it a try [12:57] glitsj16: ya e to edit and added the nomodeset. No good [12:57] Hi there's a bug with spdif output which have a patch to fix it, how do I apply the patch once I download it? [12:59] pgar23: than follow cfhowlett's advice, and perhaps make a bug report once you get it installed, goodluck [12:59] Anyone know if Airplay screen mirroring ever will be available for Linux?

[13:41] BluesKaj, a poster confirmed in that page it persists in 12.04 as well [13:41] BluesKaj, 12.04, newest kernel [13:42] and which audio chip , lar4 ? [13:42] BluesKaj, the popular on board intel one [13:43] BluesKaj, it's an spdif output bug [13:43] BluesKaj, someone in the thread isolated the problem and managed to work around it but i haven't figured how he did it yet.. [13:45] #canada [13:45] lar4, yes I use the spdif out on my media server to an audio receiver , and also have an onboard intel hda chip (as a an alternative), but I'm running 13,10 [13:47] BluesKaj, but i installed kernel 3.12 as was suggested to me here [13:47] and it persists [13:47] BluesKaj, which kernel are you using? [13:47] lar4: do you have the problem now - at the moment, from the machine you are currently chatting on [13:47] ikonia, yes [13:47] lar4: can you please show me the output form "uname -a" [13:47] lar4, 3.12.0-5-generic [13:48] ikonia, Linux host 3.12.0-031200-generic #201311031935 SMP Mon Nov 4 00:36:54 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [13:48] BluesKaj, you updated manually the kernel then? [13:48] lar4: do you know if the problem is fixed in that kernel ? [13:49] ikonia, i updated to 3.12 so obviously it wasn't [13:49] wasn't fixed [13:49] lar4, this pc is my test machine, so I'm sort of bleeding edge [13:50] lar4: you can't work it like that "I upgraded so obviously it wasn't" [13:50] Any one-liner CLI gods here? Yes there are. Good! I have this javascript-compiling binary. It compiles.. Javascript. About 5000 files. Problem is - once i build them, all file permissions are changed from 0755 to 0644 and the other way around. Git doesn't like that. Is there a way, to grab all the git diff output (old->new), filter out the filename and old file permission, then throw that into chmod and reset the permission? [13:50] lar4: knowing if that patch is in that kernel is critical [13:50] lar4, do you have pavucontrol installed [13:50] lar4: did you try to follow instructions on the page poster #38 provided in that bug report? that looks like an easy thing you can try and it offers uninstall instructions, so you don't end up with more sound problems .. just my 2 cents [13:50] Now i have " git diff -p -R | grep -E "^(diff|(old|new) mode)" | git apply ", but that also reverts content changes.

[14:31] OK I'm sorry i supposed people able to understand Lithuanian language. could someone help me to figure out how to get to console in Ubuntu 13.10 on mqcbook pro. the switch to console for instance tty1 cause screen turned off [14:31] well, i need eeepc Os best performance in linux [14:31] zuce: that's offtopic for this channel sadly, [14:31] Robertas2000, fn/ctrl/alt/f1 [14:31] have to hit the fn key to get f1 to work [14:31] lar4: did you disabled javascript or are using an addon like NoScript? [14:31] xangua, i do [14:32] Hows the gaming support on ubuntu linux, its been a few years since i have used it [14:32] ikonia again ... u are bored [14:32] lar4: well enable javascript then [14:32] pls respect me [14:32] :-/ [14:32] What is the minimum ram I need for Ubuntu, 32 bit? [14:32] lilkuz85: from a realistic point of view, it's still pretty poor, from a marketing/document point of view, much better and growing [14:32] !requirements [14:32] good question mark [14:32] Mark_de_J: 700mb for Ubuntu Unitu I believe [14:32] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [14:33] 88 mb ram with ubuntu server [14:33] lilkuz85, use steam and pay to play [14:33] this is perfect for me but need video [14:33] Got an old PC, Windows XP with 256mb ram. :P [14:33] windows sucks [14:33] Mark_de_J, Lubuntu is probably a good fit. Xubuntu would be close. [14:33] xangua, didn't help but i'll use the torrent instead [14:33] Ok so we still need to use programs like wine to install and run games in linux? [14:33] lubuntu i was test i need any better [14:34] lilkuz85: wine is still poor/ an unacceptable solution [14:34] Mark_de_J: then you may be considering Xubuntu or Lubuntu [14:34] What one is easier? [14:34] Mark_de_J, about the same [14:34] here this cahmpions questin bro ,no noobs ,THE PERFORMANCE IS VITAL [14:34] OK. [14:34] brb [14:35] I see, looks like steam is about to release their new distro [14:36] lilkuz85, i think we are using an open source os so gaming companies are not intrested to collaborate with it, so they will not earn money [14:37] Yeah i dont see how the new steam os will differ from any other linux distro [14:37] lilkuz85, lets wait and test ourself :) [14:37] hey all.. i ve a question on how to install the flashplugin on different browsers with the kubuntu system. i've the flashplugin-installer installed but there is no chance to open the install files with the apt application and i don't get the plugin installed neither in firefox nor in opera or chromium -.- [14:38] Maybe just out of the box support for the steam branded controller [14:38] steam is releasing a linux gaming distro ? [14:38] Yes its called steam os [14:38] Bloodcage, use sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [14:38] it is installed imghost [14:39] Bloodcage, whats the output when you open any flash websites like youtube?

[16:22] guys, I need to setup a mail server just to recieve one e-mail to validate my host [16:23] how do I configure postfix to recieve emails from everywhere [16:23] Hello everyone. Got some minor interference when logging into Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit. It distorts the wallpaper a bit but resumes and sets it accordingly. [16:23] i doesn't recieve any e-mail at all [16:23] I mean, are device files like dev sda in ISO format [16:23] Device files are images?? [16:23] osubuntu^android: Not really, you don't back them up. [16:23] Got a minor gnome-settings... issue which I passed and reported through the internal reporting system but after rebooting it persists the issue. [16:24] osubuntu^android: Generally avoid /dev, /proc, and /sys [16:24] Nono [16:24] osubuntu^android: Ideally do the backup running from something else like a live disk. [16:24] I heard they are backupable.. [16:24] Live disk? [16:24] osubuntu^android: live DVD? [16:25] I have to rewrite live usb [16:25] osubuntu^android: Allow the system to create them at runtime, don't back them up. [16:25] My ubuntu is broken and im gonna fresh install === Neozonz|Disc is now known as neozonz [16:25] jhutchins: i'm guessing there is a terminology/understanding gap here with osubuntu^android question [16:26] I have to backup original, rewrite live usb to saucy, then do a fresh install [16:27] What is the gap?? Please tell me so I dont make any mistake [16:27] Well... [16:27] osubuntu^android: that's not a fresh install, that's a restore of a damaged backup [16:28] No I dont have any backups now [16:28] so what do you want then ? [16:28] osubuntu^android, are you switching from any other os?or just upgrading the os? [16:29] osubuntu^android, backups of what? [16:29] I recentlt upgraded to saucy but something was broken so nothing but text mode seems to work [16:29] So i have to backup my works and home dirs etc before rewriting the damaged one [16:29] osubuntu^android, so you do not need to do a fresh install, [16:30] No even apt get doesnt seem to work [16:30] Is there any way to reset Unity or check some logs where to find a possible glitch what causes that wallpaper to distort itself momentarily and then align itself? [16:30] osubuntu^android: I'm sorry I don't understand the issue here, backup your data, do a clean install, restore your data [16:30] My ubuntu is completely broken [16:30] Hmm [16:31] Okay, the final question is, is it possible to backup via live uab [16:31] Live usb [16:31] osubuntu^android: yes [16:31] osubuntu^android: it's just the same as a livecd [16:32] Okay so I should find out.. [16:32] Pretty frequently I'll be using Teamviewer installed on my computer at home to connect from work. At home is ubuntu and at work is win7. When I'm connected, I have no problems with the connection. But randomly, like right now, the connection will freeze, I'll exit the connection, and try to reconnect, but will not be able to. I have tried killing the teamviewer process on the ubuntu machine and creating another, I've tried restarting teamviewer with "sudo t [16:32] eamviewer --daemon restart" and still nothing. Is this a known bug, or what can I do to try and solve the issue without rebooting the whole machine? [16:32] osubuntu^android, paste the output of "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade", just for my info please its a request i just want to see the errors [16:33] For anyone willing to help out, here's my situation. Ubuntu 12.04, unable to access just one single website. DNS resolution is happening fine (I checked through both wget and ping), but it doesn't get an http response. The site's up and running, and I can access it through my phone (using the same wifi network that my computer's connected to) [16:33] It simply doesnt wotk [16:33] esde: we can't support *their* product, you would need to take up such issues with them [16:33] Guys I renamed some pictures with massive rename (using nautilus) but i need to sent some one who use windows O.S and cannot read the pictures as a pictures... [16:33] Drivers are also broken [16:33] I have no internet access via my damaged one [16:33] PoZiTiFF_13, please see http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=166598.0 and join #ubuntu-ru [16:34] what could I do for fix it??? [16:34] osubuntu^android: that is unacceptable "it doesn't work" is not the description imghost asked for [16:34] osubuntu^android, thats not the expected answer [16:34] Thanks daftykins, what was i thinking asking a huge channel of ubuntu users if they too are experiencing a bug in a product that runs on ubuntu. [16:34] Okay so I have to manually do it myself [16:34] It is risky through [16:35] osubuntu^android: risky ? [16:35] osubuntu^android, sad :(, you should share your errors with us i bet you you will get 1000% times better solutions [16:35] osubuntu^android: why is it risky ? [16:36] I have no safe ways to rewrite my live usb [16:36] My live usb is precise pengolin [16:36] So to double-check, no one else has had issues with teamviewer freezing on ubuntu?

[17:27] JoBArTe_Skuld2: that's usually entirely automatic. [17:27] JoBArTe_Skuld2: otherwise you need to write a 'xorg.conf' file or use 'xrandr' or one of its GUI frontends.

[17:36] Is there any way to find out if/when Ubuntu will officially switch to php5.4 for 12.04? [17:36] catcher: of course not. it is supposedly stable. [17:36] Walex -In context of installing Canon2900B printer installation paste.debian.net/70742/ Why you told to do command at line#3 and line#5 and also at several forums I read about installing printer they told to do command at line#43 and line#44, why ? [17:36] how see the file on my internetbox? [17:36] Walex, in my ubuntu dont have xorg.conf on x11 folder :| [17:36] with the terminal [17:37] JoBArTe_Skuld2: you got to create one. [17:37] Walex, how to I create one? [17:37] JoBArTe_Skuld2: some utilities will create a simple one and then you have to add support for both devices [17:37] * JoBArTe_Skuld2 saw that have xorg.conf-backups.... [17:37] so__: Have you looked at the man page yet? [17:38] does anyone know http requests really well? How do you send a request in browser that contains the username/password in the same way that curl -u username:password does it? [17:38] jennie: 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs libglade2-0 libpopt0:i386' is because those are listed as the 'Depends:' prerequisites of the Canon '.deb' [17:39] Hello guys … does the HTML5 works smoothly??? I've searched a lot but not all videos on Youtube works .. just few : / [17:39] jennie: in an ideal world the driver packages would be installed with APT and the dependencies would be automatic, but Canon recommend in their installation guide ot use 'dpkg' and manually preinstall the dependencies that they list in that installation guide. [17:40] so, what i write on the man? [17:40] ok Walex and what about the command at line #43 and #44? [17:40] I dont get how the my nameserver can be on 127.0.1.1.. when the local interface is 127.0.0.1.. [17:40] my motherboard specification lists Bluetooth ADR 2.1 on it, does this mean in theory ubuntu can detect it as a device or must it be a usb device? [17:40] sander: that's N-M's new setup? don't ask me how it works though [17:41] JoBArTe_Skuld2: Xorg --configure [17:41] guys ... Anyone here managed to effectively play HTML5?? [17:41] sander: you can run a DNS server on the same server you are using the network on, quite simple [17:41] *waves* [17:41] rodhash: At least wait for your question to scoll off before repeating it. [17:42] sander: if you add lines to the bottom of /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head it will be added each boot, its a hack but it works [17:42] rodhash: Just like flash, there's good HTML5 and there's bad, and a lot depends on your connection. [17:42] jennie: as to #43 and #44 those should probably have been included in the '.deb' but Canon forgot them. This seems surprising to me. [17:42] How do I modify my kernel .config so that it only is using the current running modules? [17:42] recently set up ubuntu server 12.04. I installed Hamachi and set a static ip address for my server. However hamachi wouldn't connect until i changed the ip back to dhcp. [17:43] Walex- what is work of line#43 and line #44 ? [17:43] I thought there was a quick way to do that [17:43] sander: nmcli dev list iface eth0 | grep IP4 will show your actual nameserver used by network manager [17:43] bluetooth seems useful if you have say a printer in vicinity, mouse, keyboard, perhaps even a smartphone or headset. [17:44] jennie: creates the spool directory and the spool service socket for the Canon rasterizer daemon 'ccpd', and there is not much more to say [17:44] Are there virusses for Linux? :P [17:45] ActionParsnip, Thanks alot:) . Just curous how it works.. ahh.. now I figured it out 127.0.1.1 is mapped in /etc/hosts :) [17:45] Mark_de_J: yes but there are so few and none are wild that its a negligible issue [17:45] dhci: I don't much like BlueTooth as for common peripherals wires are not a problem. It is pretty good though for microphones and earphones [17:45] Mark_de_J, not much [17:45] sander: yes every OS will resolve its own hostname to 127.0.0.0/8 [17:45] dhci: because it is rather inconvenient to have long wires to your head. [17:45] So I don´t need an AV? [17:45] Mark_de_J, no [17:45] ActionParsnip, ok. [17:45] Thanks! :) [17:46] sander: so that local resources can talk to themselves, using the loopback interface, dead handy [17:46] Mark_de_J, virus is just a program that load automatically wihout your permission [17:46] bluez utils don't really detect anything unless there is a usb bluetooth dongle plugged in. dmesg reports a bunch of bluetooth initializations for me however I can't tell if it found an actual device [17:46] ActionParsnip: Check your hosts file. [17:47] imghost, what do you mean? [17:47] ActionParsnip: Or ifconfig lo [17:47] jennie: however the service socket most likely is not necessary, as CUPS communicates with 'ccpd' by default over the port at #6 and #9. [17:47] jhutchins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6567919/ [17:47] jhutchins: whats your point? [17:48] ActionParsnip: That's different. The actual standard is 127.0.0.1 [17:48] Mark_de_J, one line definition of a virus [17:48] jhutchins: try pinging 127.127.127.127 [17:48] jhutchins: this is a standard install === Neozonz|Disc is now known as Neozonz [17:49] Is that also the reason you must always enter your password when you install stuff etc [17:49] hey guys, i'm having a really strange problem with sshd (openSSH) on ubuntu 13.10. i have horrible delay (5-10 seconds) on each keystroke. if i ping between the machines, i get <15ms ping which is really good [17:49] suggestions? [17:49] jhutchins: ANY IP that falls into 127.0.0.0/8 will reply as it is the loopback network, it all goes back to the local PC [17:49] okay Walex :-) [17:49] jhutchins: so you can change that IP if you want, it will still work [17:50] jhutchins: as long as the first octet is 127 [17:50] Traditionally 127.0.1.0 is the internal clock. [17:50] jhutchins: it doesnt make any difference at all [17:51] Mark_de_J, yes you can say entering password simply means to me that i am allowing program to run you are providing authentication to a process to proceed further [17:52] oh, can I then change the password of my root account and main account? [17:52] jhutchins: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/rfc/rfc3330.txt "127.0.0.0/8 - This block is assigned for use as the Internet host loopback address. A datagram sent by a higher level protocol to an address anywhere within this block should loop back inside the host [17:52] jhutchins: defacto factory standard [17:52] Mark_de_J, yes [17:52] jhutchins: the fact you see 127.0.0.1 is just a formality [17:53] How?

I'm using a python library with which I hope to send data over suck a socket, and there's a minor detail that I'm not quite clear about. The wikipedia entry states that "Unix domain sockets use the file system as their address name space. They are referenced by processes as inodes in the file system. This allows two processes to open the same socket in order to communicate. However, communicati [19:38] on occurs entirely within the operating system kernel." I take this to mean that A) Permissions apply and B) I can't pass an arbitrary path that doesn't exist on my filesystem (e.g.: /blah/foo/bar) Is this correct? [19:38] if i open an image with shotwell viewer and drag it with mouse i get a "broken pipe" error and go back to login screen. what might be the problem? === amar is now known as Guest73617 === Guest73617 is now known as amar_ [19:39] blz: yes this is correct, I'm not super familiar with the details but was reading up on using the mysql.sock path which is a UNIX socket and does have file permissions like any other path, regarding how to set up a UNIX socket I'm unclear on the details [19:40] wafflejock, haha okay, thanks. That clears up question A =) === BurritoBazooka is now known as Burrito [19:41] blz: check out the comment from dlthomas on this page, he seems to know what he's talking about http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-can-i-create-a-socket-file-248399/ [19:42] very cool, thank you! [19:42] wafflejock, ^ [19:42] blz: sure thing always had me wondering too may dig into this a bit more for my own sake [19:42] haha down the rabbit hole! [19:43] blz: hehe indeed [19:44] hi ubunt you;) [19:47] wafflejock, the kind wizards at ##linux answered my incantation -- indeed unix sockets behave exactly like files and must exist along a real path [19:48] wafflejock, and, as you said, permissions apply [19:48] i cannot install ia32-libs says unmet dependencies. how do i install with dependencies installed??? [19:49] hawa: How are you trying to install ia32-libs? [19:49] hello, I have a computerproblem; my system will boot, but no bios showing up due to uncomplete overclocking, does someone now where to find a solution? (resetting the cmos-bios is not working) [19:49] Jordan_U: from apt-get [19:50] blz: yeah I actually ran into an issue with KMail that ultimately stems back to a problem with Akonadi which is the program that handles the "backend" storage of data for KMail.... Akonadi has a dependency on some sort of DB to store part of the info and I was fighting with trying to make it work so lots of futzing with this yesterday... still no solution but I just installed Thunderbird... may stick with a web client for now but I [19:50] did like KMail when it was working on my previous install... I may pop in at ##linux [19:50] hawa: What version of Ubuntu are you using and why are you trying to install ia32-libs? [19:50] jss1: did you remove the cmos battery and do a power drain? [19:50] i am using precise [19:50] <[Gentoo]> jss1: resetting cmos should work, drain the power completely also by unplugging the PC from the wall and press/hold the front power button a few times [19:50] Jordan_U: because there is some problem with ADB from ADT bundle... [19:51] hawa: are you sure you got ADT for the right architecture? [19:51] ah, i think i didn't drain the system, [19:51] jss1: good luck [19:51] i'll go try to fix it that way [19:51] wafflejock: i am sure i got it for 64 bit... as i am using 64bit precise [19:52] jss1: let me know if it worked [19:52] wafflejock: I haven't been able to get that whole kmail/akonadi mess to work. It's ridiculous. I don't need indexed metadata on my email. [19:52] What's the absolute minimum needed to compile, say Python. [19:53] Ridiculously elaborate (and disfunctional) crap like that should NOT be enabled by default, it should be optional. [19:53] is build-essential, really just th essentials? [19:53] ldlework: Yes, including the espresso maker built into the kitchen sink. [19:53] can somebody help me install ia32-libs??? [19:53] hawa: If Android Debug Bridge is a 64 bit application why are you trying to install ia32-libs? [19:54] hawa: yeah sounds right if uname -a shows you x86_64 then I believe you should be using the 64-bit linux download.... it works here but using Kubuntu 13.10, so a bit off, regarding your problem post the pastebin of your apt-get install line and results, someone may be able to help then [19:54] agree with Jordan_U though don't see why you would need the ia32-libs [19:54] Jordan_U: i dunno... i mean the adt doesnt launch... says cannot find the adb file even if it is there... [19:56] hawa: Try asking about that in #android-dev, ia32-libs seems completely irrelevant to that problem. [19:56] drupal7 package in ubuntu 12.04 seems to lack at least 7 security updates... :/ [19:56] http://pastebin.com/HXW3CJvf [19:56] Jordan_U: tnx... sure [19:57] jhutchins: yeah I don't see why it isn't using SQLite or something if it doesn't really need mysql and it causes this much extra trouble... I installed lamp for doing dev stuff on this box not sure if that caused more issues or if this is just how it is right now [19:57] Christoph_vW: You need to maintain drupal using it's own notification tools. [19:57] hawa: Though that error message suggests other problems you might have. Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install". [19:57] jhutchins: why is the package included in ubuntu then? when it is not maintained [19:59] hmmm, so i tried to take out battery, and to drain the power, now i put the battery back and plugged it back in, system is completely dead... [19:59] I am working with a client's VPS server, they are on a Ubuntu 11.10 install within an OpenVZ environment. I'm trying to dist-upgrade it and ran "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get upgrade" followed by "apt-get dist-upgrade", it installed like 2 packages on the dist-upgrade & I'm curious as to which version it would have bumped to if any at all. It didn't seem like enough for a complete dist-upgrade. (I'm [19:59] trying to bring it to current). [19:59] Jordan_U:http://pastebin.com/Tf9k7yRT [20:00] <[Gentoo]> jss1: doesnt turn on at all? [20:00] Christoph_vW: packages included in the main repos will generally lag compared to getting something directly from a third-part it doesn't mean updates aren't coming it just means they haven't had the time to test it out yet to push the updates into the main repo [20:00] !dist-upgrade | xnite [20:00] xnite: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed.

[20:01] xnite: If you were expecting it upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, dist-upgrade wouldn't do that, it basically just installs kernal upgrades for the release you're on [20:01] wafflejock: I just like to have a secure system... [20:01] i pushed front panel reset button [20:02] DJones: is it possible just to go straight from 11.10 to current? Or do I need to follow the upgrade steps for each individual release? [20:02] <[Gentoo]> jss1: maybe the cmos reset button isnt working, i would drain the power, take the cmos battery out manually for ~10 seconds then try again [20:03] hi i am trying to run /usr/bin/wvdial con1 &> /output.log in /etc/rc.local but it seesm nothing is being executed any idea? [20:03] xnite: Without a fresh install, you have to go release by release, I'd say upgrade to 12.04 and then wait until the release of 14.04 which you will be able to directly upgrade to because they're both LTS releases, otherwise, you'll have to go to 12.10, 13.04 and then 13.10 in sequence [20:03] my "software & updates" dont work. i have ubuntu 13.10 [20:03] Hello [20:04] Hey hey [20:04] Ale1, Don't work is to vague give details [20:04] Is this the right place for Ubuntu support?

New to Ubuntu [20:04] me1984, yes give details [20:04] Christoph_vW: well security means a lot of things, cananocial provides a certain amount of stability and support for packages included in the distro they are in part taking some responsibility by having a repo and reputation everyone can point at, Drupal users within Ubuntu are likely a small subset, so this is a subset of a subset of users, their concerns over Drupal security updates probably don't outweigh all the other security [20:04] concerns with just bringing in new code, I use PHP and Apache and MySQL, since i wanted some bleeding edge PHP parts for doing dev I had to either install from source or trust a third party PPA (which I did initially, now after distro upgrade I got the PHP I need anyhow) [20:04] is there any spanish ubuntu support? [20:05] !es | chatterx [20:05] chatterx: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [20:05] i open it and select revent. dont hapen anything [20:05] si [20:06] Ale1, In the terminal run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and pastebin all of it. [20:06] !ask | me1984 [20:06] me1984: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:06] !details [20:06] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:06] I have a remote server that was rebooted and now SSH server is not running. When the server boots, it is reachable via ping and a couple ports are open, but not SSH. When I boot to rescue mode (essentially Debian LiveCD) I observe that no logs are updated, indicating to me that the server isn't actually booting. 'Upstart' directory has it's timestamp updated each reboot attempt, however. [20:07] Any pointers? [20:07] [2428.311881] ERROR @wl_inform_single_bss : cfg80211_inform_bss_frame error [20:07] im getting this error and i dont kjnow what to do [20:07] glitsj16: still eager to help? [20:08] me1984, If this is a debian server see #debian [20:08] can some one help me resolve this please? [20:08] im using nvidia gtx 260 and when i set my resolution it is a little bit to large. In windows in the nvidia app you can drag and drop to resize the desktop after setting the resolution but not on linux. Does anyone know of a way to resize the desktop without changing resolution? [20:08] me1984: is this a VPS on Amazon or some other VPS provider, I'm not sure what you should do but it may help get feedback from others [20:08] Problems installing Ubuntu on an Intel Next. Using USB drive. I select "install Ubuntu" then it gives me (infrarms) cant find a live file system medium. Googled it, but nothing is working. Set to AHCI, most commands in GRUB such as "Partnew" do not work. Replies "unknown command". Using UEFI boot system, tried legacy, same issue. Concerned that I dont have root access and drive is unpartitioned. [20:08] It's Ubuntu 12.04. The only rescue option my host gives me is essentially Debian LiveCD. [20:09] wafflejock: It's a dedicated server [20:09] Mollusk, Do you get to the live desktop? [20:10] no, after selecting the install option, it shows the ubuntu loading dots, then kicks to the Infrarm issue [20:10] i retried the part of unplugging, taking battery out, powerdrain and put everything back: system turns on, but no bios [20:11] <[Gentoo]> jss1: you might have possibly damaged the cpu / motherboard with overclocking [20:12] <[Gentoo]> did you raise voltages? [20:12] jss1: if you have an unbootable system (I haven't followed the whole conversation) and do not even get a BIOS screen it is one of these things that is failing: Power Supply, CPU, Motherboard, RAM [20:12] hmmmm, i was affraid it might be that, i really hoped it would be oke, but i'll send it in for a checkup tomorrow... [20:12] jss1: easiest to check is RAM if you have more than one stick take the rest out and try to boot with just one, if that one doesn't work swap it for one other one, that basically eliminates the RAM isue [20:12] If one can only access files but not run anything installed on the server, is there a way I can tell if it's actually booting? Is it possible that Ubuntu would boot without updating any logs? [20:12] Mollusk, I think runnable however will need some tweaking is all, not sure of those tweaks though. [20:12] <[Gentoo]> when you overclock and raise volts, it put more strain on the psu and it can cause all sorts of issues [20:13] me1984: No. [20:13] ty Beldar [20:13] Bekks: No you cannot tell, or no it's not possible? [20:13] me1984: No, it isnt possible. [20:14] me1984: If you boot the system it will append the logs and overwrite dmesg. [20:14] Ale1, If you get those commands pastebinned use my nick when you post. [20:14] me1984: If you boot to a live CD, it will preserve the logs (but still overwrite dmesg). [20:15] jss1: Does it beep? [20:15] Beldar. i past the comand and the terminas is making something [20:16] Ale1, What is your native language? [20:16] albanian [20:17] jss1: jhutchins has a good point here, if you are having video/monitor issues you may not see the BIOS but should still hear the beep [20:17] I boot to the LiveCD so I can access the filesystem. When viewing logs, they have not been updated since the system was originally rebooted. However, when booting to disk the server gets to a state where networking is up and it respons to ping. Is there some kind of pre-Linux limbo state where networking would be up? [20:17] it gives a short 'toot-toot' noise, [20:18] jss1: You can try re-seating the RAM, and possibly remove one stick at a time. It wouldn't hurt to re-seat the CPU, but make sure you don't loose the dielectric thermal grease between it and the heatsink. Reseating drive cables is a good idea too. [20:18] i know the monitor works, because i am using it right now , with the same cable onnected to my laptop, [20:18] jss1: does it sound like a regular boot up noise or do you recall if it normally just beeps once? if you can find your motherboard manual it may tell you what the beep codes mean and you might get more info from that, my motherboard has a little LCD on it that gives POST codes for whats going wrong [20:19] jss1: The good news is that if it beeps the motherboard is probably ok. [20:19] wafflejock: Nice mb! [20:19] jhutchins: yeah it's pretty awesome I gotta say :) [20:19] We used to have a card that you could plug in to display that back in the 90's. [20:20] Beldar. this command install nvidia driver? [20:20] hi guys. [20:20] what is the recommended way to install a current version of PHP for use with lighttpd? The package version is quite old. [20:20] anyone please tell me a valid source.list [20:20] normally after the toottoot tthere is a higher beep, but that's gone for now... i'll go try swapping ram, and see if it changes anything [20:20] i can't able to install traceroute package [20:20] !sources.list [20:20] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [20:20] jhutchins: yeah same idea just built onto the board which is nice I never got around to really using one of those POST cards though think it was just before my time in IT [20:20] <[Gentoo]> jss1: 90% of the time it is ram if it beeps [20:21] Ale1, It is a updates and upgrades in general, you said from what I could tell this was not working. [20:21] jhutchins: sorry i don't have gui [20:21] this is a server having only shell access [20:21] Ale1, This was to check if that was true. [20:22] Hey everyone my Dimmer switches do not work please help. [20:22] Beldar. ok what i can do for drivers? [20:22] lonewulf85: you mean your brightness keys on a laptop? [20:22] W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.15 80] [20:22] lonewulf85, release your running to the channel, what you have tried....details [20:23] cybes: time to upgrade to a supported ubuntu version [20:23] cybes: Hardy is no longer supported. [20:23] Ale1, Not an area I really know, nor part of your original post. [20:23] wafflejock, Acer netbook actually. AO722 [20:23] cybes: You don't need a gui if you have lynx. [20:23] So no suggestions on how to resolve boot issues? [20:24] lonewulf85: well if no one else here can give you a direct answer I think I know a workarond but will take a bit of legwork on your part [20:24] wafflejock, Lets give it a shot. [20:24] sorry that source.list i entered myown line [20:24] from ubuntu site [20:24] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [20:24] is only available from another source [20:24] E: Package 'traceroute' has no installation candidate [20:24] this is what i get [20:24] Ale1, Was this originally about additional drivers in software sources? [20:25] using the default source [20:25] I use xscreensaver, it dims the displays when going to the screensaver, sometimes when it comes back, it doesn't fully un-dim them, why? [20:25] cybes: Yeah, don't know what brilliant twit decided the sources.list resource should be a GUI, sorry. [20:25] cybes: I'm afraid I can't reach my ubuntu box right now. [20:25] oh np [20:26] Beldar. i can't find software sources. where is it? [20:26] lonewulf85: you can use xev to get the keycode from a key then use xbindkeys to setup a "trigger" to call a script that will update the brightness file to make the change happen... this is my general idea, think we'd want to start with just updating the brightness file manually to be sure that works.. someone dropped it in here a few days ago I'll see if Google can help find it [20:26] lonewulf85: xev is simple just run it and then hit the key to see the keycode [20:26] lonewulf85: xbindkeys is documented here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xbindkeys [20:26] Ale1, run in the terminal software-properties-gtk [20:26] lonewulf85: might be able to use some built in key mapping stuff too from the system settings for that portion [20:27] Beldar. ok. it show me thw software sources? [20:28] Ale1, I have no idea what you actual problem is, your english is broken at best. [20:28] your* [20:29] Beldar. i want to install all drivers. that is what i want to do. [20:30] Ale1, all drivers means nothing. Is the OS running fine? === pizza-dude is now known as wiiguy [20:32] Ale1, usually an install loads the drivers needed. Be specific on any problems. === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [20:33] Beldar. no i install ubuntu 13.10 in "nomodeset mode". because ubuntu dont suport nvidia. i have to install the drivers now [20:33] Beldar: I think they were here the other day looking for the additonal drivers page, I'm not sure where that is hidden in unity nowadays though. === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [20:33] trying to create ftp server on ubuntu but when i put ftp 192.168.1.3 i get the error no address is associated with hostname [20:34] prashant_123456: can you ping 192.168.1.3? [20:35] wafflejock, yes i can ping === __Trullo is now known as _Trullo === edk is now known as edk- [20:38] where does Unity store the icon configuration along the left side? === edk- is now known as edk [20:38] when using xubuntu for a kiosk purpose, there is significant delay (nearly 2 minutes) before certain USB touchscreens and a USB webcam are initializing, where should I look in upstart to figure out why it is so delayed? [20:38] wafflejock, [20:39] Why would the ftp client read an address as a hostname? [20:39] the webcam initializes in just under a minute from boot, but the touchscreen takes longer, both are USB, and I assume upstart is scheduling them badly in some way [20:39] because it doesnt matter wether you use the IP or the hostname resolving to the same IP. [20:39] prashant_123456: THat's what's happening, it's trying to get an address as if that were a hostname instead of an address. Is it possible there's some odd character on the command line? [20:41] when you lock an application to the launchbar on the left, where is this fact stored? [20:41] or when you add an app [20:41] jhutchins, also i cannot ssh to 192.168.1.3 [20:41] jhutchins, odd character ? [20:41] prashant_123456: yeah maybe some space or tick or something that got copied in [20:42] Sorry for the doublepost, but I'll just leave this here: [20:42] prashant_123456: you can use nmap to see what ports are open [20:42] Hello, I am looking for a push in the right direction to troubleshoot boot issues on a remote system. The server boots to the point where networking is up and it responds to ping, though SSH does not come up. Looking at the log files, nothing is being logged at boot, though /var/log/upstart/ has it's timestamp updated to that of the boot attempt each time. I have no shell access, but have [20:42] full access to the file system. [20:42] jcorgan: add a custom application with a unique name and then grep for it in .config ;) [20:42] Spec: nice [20:42] jcorgan: (is only a guess) [20:42] better than what i've got now [20:42] hello [20:43] rhytmbox has it's own radio like shoutcast... [20:43] how to use that radio on android? [20:43] wafflejock, all 1000 ports are closed [20:43] jcorgan: I believe it stores/pulls these from /usr/share/applications/ and in the .desktop file it says where it shows up... I might be wrong though [20:43] i want connect my psp on my computer, but when i do that nothing happens, why? [20:44] Is the filesystem mounting read-only? [20:44] hey does any one know a noob friendly guide compiling a linux kernel 3.13 . i just need to complie not install [20:44] me1984: Read-only filesystem? [20:45] prashant_123456: WHat do you mean you can't ssh to that address? [20:45] Spec: seems to show up in .config/dconf/user, which is a binary file, some sort of database [20:45] jhutchins, yes i cannot ssh [20:46] viro: although not hugely noob-friendly you may want this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide [20:46] Hi, recently bought an Asus(advertised on Ubuntu home page), but it seems to be missing functionality, command prompt doesnt work, it has trouble with many sites, and some apps from the software center are not recognized as downloaded, should I just have it replaced? [20:46] prashant_123456: That doesn't tell us anything. What happens when you try? What happens when you use -vvv with ssh? [20:46] jcorgan: i was going to suggest dconf [20:46] jcorgan: is there a dconf-editor?

[20:49] jhutchins: Maybe it's being mounted ro on boot... is there a way I could determine this? [20:50] no... the format of memory card psp (vita) is special [20:50] kinda tricky because the live user (ubuntu) gets set up at boot time, not in files already on the CD image [20:50] so__: oh it's a vita, okay, I have no vita on hand so I can't even test that [20:50] :/ [20:51] wafflejock: Interesting, I'll give that a look [20:51] so__: I have a psp but never hooked it up to a computer, but I have no psp vita [20:51] well, thanks for the pointer to dconf [20:51] is there an Ubuntu representative I can speak to in one of these channels regarding my issue? [20:52] okok thanks === Rachel is now known as Guest13962 [20:52] so__: it is usb yes?

[21:08] Guest48259, what makes you think you need a ppa? [21:08] brian_: you can maybe try installing a different console app using the GUI software installer [21:08] ease of updates? [21:08] brian_: alternatively you can use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a tty terminal which might help to see what's going on [21:08] !ppa | Guest48259 [21:08] Guest48259: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [21:08] brian_: use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the GUI display [21:08] Guest48259, In general not advised or supported here. [21:09] y [21:10] Arent PPA's part of Linux OS Engineering in this case Ubuntu? [21:10] brian_: also would help to know if all commands are causing this behavior, does a simple ls work [21:10] Guest48259: they are unsupported software that may destabilize the system, not officially supported by Canonical [21:10] Guest48259, If the OS is running fine, let it pull drivers from the ubuntu repo. [21:10] Guest48259: they are a way for third parties to distribute compiled code [21:10] Is there a way to keep unity from hijacking my shortcut keys in other apps? [21:10] So no advice ok thanks [21:10] wafflejock: every command I try has the result, even just opening an app this way [21:11] Guest48259: only the advice that they are usually a bad idea unless you have a problem to solve with them [21:11] Guest48259: I can wrap up some compiled code and put up a PPA which is why it's not really a safe bet unless you trust the source ^ [21:11] Guest48259: a variety of nvidia experimental drivers are contained in the regular package repositories, look for them [21:11] Guest48259, It's not no advice, but a norm, if you have no choice but a ppa then people will help. [21:11] Thats why i'm asking which PPA would be the best choice for Proprietary Nvidia Drivers [21:12] Guest48259: an example where you need a ppa is the xorg-edgers ppa for experimental open source drivers [21:12] Guest48259, Are you reading the posts, one proprietary is not advised unless through the ubuntu repos and ppa's are not advised. [21:13] wafflejock: this picture more accurately describes my situation http://goo.gl/z7tk0o [21:13] Guest48259: but nvidia drivers are supplied in the distro, including experimental newer ones [21:13] Brewster: ah okay [21:13] Im confused [21:13] Guest48259, Look in software sources additional drivers [21:13] Yes I know of that [21:14] Guest48259: let me state it more clearly then: you do not need a ppa to get nvidia proprietary drivers, and several versions are available out-of-the-box, simply use the hardware driver selector for proprietary drivers [21:14] Op mijn Android telefoon staat een verbodsbordje links van de accu-percentage. Wat wil dat zeggen, heb ik iets uitgeschakeld oid? [21:14] Brewster: so it does look like your Xorg config is messed up or something, unfortunately it has changed a fair amount recently and I haven't kept up https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [21:15] Guest48259, proprietary drivers not run through the ubuntu repos generally wont follow kernel upgrades. [21:15] and thats why i'm here because as usual Ubuntu doesnt work out of the box as it should and those Proprietary drivers that should come with ubuntu arent present anymore and i'm unable to get them hence the reason to ask [21:15] But if you cant help no probs [21:15] CyberGabber: You're probably best join ##android (it may be #android) Op mijn Android telefoon staat een verbodsbordje links van de accu-percentage. Wat wil dat zeggen, heb ik iets uitgeschakeld oid? [21:15] Guest48259: your question is showing a misunderstanding [21:15] wafflejock: the command prompt issue is one of several so far, and the computer is less than a week old, would you suggest a replacement? [21:15] Could you direct me to an IRC channel where I might be able to get the advice I need? [21:15] Guest48259: this is the place [21:16] Guest48259: you just aren't explaining the situation adequately to help [21:16] Guest48259, You have not described whether you actually have any problems. [21:16] or just want the latest drivers [21:16] brian_: yeah if you're having a lot of buggy issues and don't have data or can easily back it up doing a clean install might not be a bad option, I'm on Kubuntu 13.10 right now after a clean install and it's been great (been backing things up with rsync which works out well though it takes some time) [21:16] My question is simple enough "Advice on the "safest" PPA for Nvidia Drivers for Ubuntu 13.10 [21:16] Guest48259: there are packages you can install with apt-get install [21:17] Guest48259: I repeat: no ppa is needed [21:17] Then where should I get them if no PPA is needed? [21:17] Guest48259: using the package manager of your choice, they are all just there [21:17] Not for me [21:18] i had issues with mynvidia on 2 dif machines 13.10 [21:18] hence the reason i'm asking [21:18] i installed ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa [21:18] Yes i've seen that PPA [21:18] Guest48259: everyone here is just saying you should use the drivers available from Canonical first, see if you have issues then look to the source or for PPAs https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-319 [21:18] add then update [21:18] waffejock: this is the computer advertised on the Ubuntu homepage with 12.04; it is factory conditions, and I could likely have it replaced low/no cost, so you suggest just doing so? [21:19] then install nvidia-331 [21:19] that worked for me [21:19] !nvidia | Guest48259 [21:19] Guest48259: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [21:19] Guest48259: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [21:19] Beldar [21:19] lol [21:19] Guest48259: if none of the options from canonical work out then you can use some PPA, but it's not the recommended initial route is all [21:19] Guest48259: if I may ask, what video card are you trying to use that needs new drivers? [21:19] Maybe I should contact Microsoft Support for the answers? lol [21:20] [21:20] Guest48259: it assumes that the person who made that PPA is going to continue updating it [21:20] Guest48259: apt-get install nvidia-current [21:20] Guest48259: needs no ppa [21:20] there we go something of an answer [21:20] thank you [21:20] Have a nice day [21:20] Guest48259: The safest way to install Nvidia drivers is probably just to open Software & Updates, go to the Additional drivers tab and if there is a appropriate driver available, it should be listed there [21:20] Nataly, what? [21:20] Guest48259: I withheld that answer because you never stated what video card you have [21:20] i have ubuntu 13.10 i want to find System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers for installing nvidia driver [21:21] Guest48259: where you may need nvidia-experimental-310 instead, or even one from ppa:xorg-edgers [21:21] lol [21:21] where they are?

[21:25] How can I purge phpmyadmin? [21:25] does anyone here know how upstart works on Ubuntu? I'm still combing through the /etc/init/*.conf files trying to figure out how USB webcams and USB touchscreens are initialized [21:26] Djones mmm [21:26] LordHavoc: That would probably be in udev more [21:26] genial: thank you, at least that's a lead [21:27] DJones. it is on "software & updates" dut i cant use it. i click on rwvent and dont hapen any thing [21:27] LordHavoc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbDriveDoSomethingHowto <- might help [21:27] I'll read that in a second, rebooting due to package updates [21:27] not sure where to go for questions like these but, I'm running ubuntu 12.04 with xfce desktop and all of a sudden my disc drive isn't reading any discs at all. at first it wouldnt read my windows 7 disc (which im trying to install) and now its not reading my blank -rw disc... which 10 minutes ago it recognized it no problem.... wtf is going on [21:28] *test [21:28] JARVIS running ok!

[21:30] not sure where to go for questions like these but, I'm running ubuntu 12.04 with xfce desktop and all of a sudden my disc drive isn't reading any discs at all. at first it wouldnt read my windows 7 disc (which im trying to install) and now its not reading my blank -rw disc... which 10 minutes ago it recognized it no problem [21:30] *test [21:30] ST0RMHAWK: no idea.... does the CD drive seem to be working at boot [21:30] !patience | ST0RMHAWK [21:30] ST0RMHAWK: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [21:30] sorry I'm just very frustrated right now [21:31] ST0RMHAWK: Sounds like a hardware issue [21:31] ST0RMHAWK: yeah it happens to a lot of people here we're sort of used to it hence the !patience from ubottu :), but really someone will see it and answer if they can [21:31] *restart [21:32] :*restart [21:32] It was reading my blank rw disc just minutes ago and now nothing [21:32] it just spins in the drive === dave is now known as Guest26854 [21:32] This laptop is relatively old, about 3 years old [21:33] I haven't used the disc drive much though [21:33] ST0RMHAWK: if you can reboot with the Win 7 boot disc or some other boot disc in and see if it boots to the CD that way you can see if it's a hardware or software issue [21:33] Hey so I'm trying to re-install phpmyadmin but I get this error: "mysql said: ERROR 1006 (HY000) at line 1: Can't create database 'phpmyadmin' " [21:34] jinx__: have you tried connecting to mysql directly and checking if it already has a phpmyadmin database? [21:34] jinx__: mysql -u root -p [21:34] jinx__: SHOW DATABASES; [21:34] I put the windows 7 disc in then rebooted my computer, it only boots straight to ubuntu though... also my bios is set to automatically boot from cd first [21:34] ST0RMHAWK: it does indeed sound like some hardware issue then [21:35] http://play.typeracer.com/?rt=1lmkitkwio8gy [21:35] ST0RMHAWK: the BIOS is handling things during boot that early on so if it were a software issue in ubuntu it wouldn't show up that early [21:36] wafflejock: there is none. [21:36] Before it boots to my installed os it looks like it's trying to boot the disc... sometimes it takes a minute to get passed the bios when the disc is in, so it's definitely trying to read it [21:36] Time to replace my disc drive you think? [21:37] jinx__: only other thing I could think of is if the user/password you supplied for it during the config step doesn't have privileges to create a database, not sure otherwise without more details [21:37] wafflejock, jhutchins ssh and proftpd worked thanks for the support [21:37] ST0RMHAWK: yeah I think so unless someone else here can offer a better way to diagnose but I can't really think of why it would not work during boot aside from a hardware issue, can try reseating it possibly [21:38] wafflejock: Could symlinks be doing this? I have a seem link in /var/lib/mysql to /home/mysql === ufoczKVJx is now known as ufoczek [21:39] ST0RMHAWK: does this delay happen with any disk or just that disk? could be a damaged disk [21:39] the disc is close to brand new, no scratches on either the windows disc or the blank [21:40] ST0RMHAWK: are you able to create an iso file from the drive ok? [21:41] jinx__: not sure about that [21:41] @hitsuji not sure what you're asking? kind of a newbie =p [21:42] Okay so how can I move mysql back to /var/lib/mysql? just remove the link and 'mv'? [21:42] hitsujiTMO: don't think he can see any media he puts in there, won't read/mount the Win 7 disc apparently [21:42] hitsujiTMO: also doesn't work during boot, take it away :) [21:42] oh yeah, I cant get my drive to recognize any discs in ubuntu hitsu [21:43] ST0RMHAWK: wafflejock ahh if its not even mounting the disk then yeah, new drive time [21:43] jinx__: I would personally copy it somewhere else first, remove the link then copy/move it depends on how big the DB files are though and if that's a concern [21:43] Nothing is in the db files, so not worrying about any data lost waff [21:43] wafflejock: * [21:44] jinx__: ah okay yeah I mean I guess at worst you just reinstall mysql in that case [21:44] well damn... appreciate the help guys! really all I'm trying to do is play a particular free online downloadable shooter, which is only compatible with windows, maybe there's a way to get it to work in llinux...? as far as I know gaming on linux is a nightmare [21:45] ST0RMHAWK: it's getting much better with Steam bringing things to linux and making the SteamBox and Wine handles some things well I guess but I stick to native stuff or play on a Win 7 machine, some people seem to be able to get Wine to do things well though === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [21:46] ST0RMHAWK: and np, you might be able to use another machine on the network and share the CD drive [21:46] can anyone give me some guidance on apache2 virtual hosts (or suggest a more suitable chat room if not applicable) please? [21:47] I'm going to attempt to get some games working on linux... really all I want is to play my games lol. Again, thanks for the help, I'll probably be back in a few LOL [21:47] ST0RMHAWK: or just make an ISO as hitsujiTMO was sort of saying, but do it from another machine, then transfer the ISO via the network or USB and mount the ISO as as disk [21:47] ST0RMHAWK: sure thing [21:48] robinder: probably not appropriate in here you can PM me though I might be able to help, otherwise I would guess #apache [21:48] wafflejock - thanks for the reply. It's quite early days for me to be honest, so may I have your permission to PM you initially with some basic questions? [21:49] robinder: #httpd is always a good one for apache httpd :P [21:49] robinder: sure I'm not an expert by any means but have a few VPS's setup for hosting some sites with virtual host configurations for a few domains, so if that's what you need shoot [21:49] i cant conect with wifi. how i can conect?

[21:50] !wifi | lui [21:50] lui: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:52] lui: you likely want to check, lspci -k, if the card is built in or, lsusb, if it's a usb device and search for your specific device, use lsb_release -a to get your distro version and if necessary uname -a to see if you have a 64 bit installation [21:56] gaah, for months now youtube has been non functional with chrome?! :/ [21:58] mrsun_, use chromium-browser [21:59] Does this look right in passwd?

[22:23] the_file do you know what "rm" means? [22:23] and it would be apt-get purge xfce?

I just went to see if I needed any drivers on my Ubuntu. It said I didn't have the "Smartlink daemon driver." I looked online, but didn't come up with anything that explained it very good. What is that, and do I really need it? [22:32] its no graphic drivers i think [22:33] then ill write up something [22:33] i think it has something to do with chipset / hardware drivers [22:33] since the lid opening and closing probably doesn't really work [22:33] right [22:33] just like on my lenovo the FN-keys are not working on ubuntu [22:33] is there a way i can fix it [22:33] Not sure... This is exactly the reason i've uninstalled ubuntu from my laptop... [22:33] those little features not working [22:33] hello to everyone ..... typing ls command and terminal stuck ? what is the problem???? my pwd = /home/zaza [22:33] well opening and closing the lid does something, as the power button stops flashing. [22:34] the screen just stays black [22:34] zaza -> pc froze [22:34] I don't see any logs. [22:34] oh, that, plus the fact that me 230 euroś docking station doesn't work [22:34] PDilyard, yeah thats hardware [22:34] ok === Moozer is now known as Flixikus [22:34] I want to remove a PPA, why this command doesn't work under Ubuntu 13.10 "apt-add-repository --remove ppa:banshee-team/ppa"? I got this error "apt-add-repository: error: no such option: --remove" [22:34] or, does it go into sleep if you close the lid? [22:34] i suppose that nothing happens with the OS if you open / close the lid [22:34] mbnoimi: use ppa-purge [22:34] is that correct? [22:35] zaza: problem with the drive or filesystem most likely. check your dmesg or syslog for any errors [22:35] another problem - I connected external DVD drive via usb and whenever I removed it from system, it left a DVD icon in sidebar..I tried to remove icons but there was nothing other than unlock from launcher, at last there was around 10 DVD icons in launcher | same no. of DVD msgs shown under disks/drives in nautilis [22:35] universal, learn2eject [22:35] windows handles that right [22:35] !ppa-purge | mbnoimi [22:35] mbnoimi: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [22:35] ok second [22:35] gnome doesn't [22:36] Hey can someone help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/390464/cant-create-database-error-2 No logs enabled... [22:36] UNK_SYN_ACK: I eject via launcher, via nautilis, via disks and lastly via eject and udisks command from terminal, result same - a new DVD icon in launcher and disk msg in nautilis [22:36] k1l_: thanks [22:37] universal, did you check /media/ ? [22:37] or... /dev/ [22:37] jinx__: can you manually create and remove databases [22:37] the one with all the hardware adresses in it [22:38] wafflejock: using create database testb? no [22:38] UNK_SYN_ACK: yea, terminal command eject and udisks take /media and /dev only [22:38] btw, a simple eject from launcher or nautilis should be enough [22:38] true [22:39] i guess this is some kind of bug in your window manager then [22:39] or, the gui / kde / gnome whatever [22:39] its same unity and nautilis like yours [22:39] mine is Explorer.exe at the moment, sorry :( [22:39] hmm [22:40] here is my paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6569330/ [22:40] jinx__: have you tried reinstalling mysql? sounds like your root user doesn't have privileges to create a db which isn't really right [22:41] jinx__: you may be able to try setting a password using mysqladmin but it sounds not right at all... at a basic level you should be able to connect via the command line client and create a db, if you can't do that not much else on top of that is going to work [22:41] UNK_SYN_ACK: what are you doing inside #ubuntu with an Explorer.exe interface ? [22:42] hello everyone, my computer has no sound recently. how can I revert this? [22:42] they both are two different worlds [22:42] !details | pegred [22:42] pegred: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:42] pegred: have you checked your sound settigns/audio mixer settings to see if it may have changed outputs or something? [22:43] !alsa | pegred [22:43] pegred: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [22:43] i usually use ubuntu [22:43] I have 12.04. I recently cant hear sounds from any application. yes, I checked sound settings. they are on [22:43] at home i sometimes use windows, for the sole purpose of programming multi-platform games, windows apps and playing games [22:43] and at work i usually use ubuntu (php development) but my laptop doesn't like ubuntu [22:44] or the other way around [22:44] wafflejock, I have 12.04. I recently cant hear sounds from any application. yes, I checked sound settings. they are on [22:44] pegred: try using pavucontrol or alsamixer to see what's going on possibly [22:44] it was either throwing away a 300 euros docking station and use 1 VGA monitor [22:44] or windows + 3 HDMI screens [22:44] so i chose the latter.... sorry :( [22:44] here is my paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6569330/ [22:44] UNK_SYN_ACK: why? I am running 1 VGA and 1 HDMI out of my laptop without issue [22:45] Thanks wafflejock, I'm just gonna reformat the system. Anyway to do a apt-get install of multiple packaxes? I need apache2, java, mysql, phpmyadmin [22:45] pegred, intel hda ?. if so run, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , there will be no output if the driver/module loads properly [22:45] kubunto try sudp apt-get -f install [22:45] kubunto try sudo apt-get -f install [22:45] wafflejock, when I just changed the sound setting from "digital output" to headphones, I could hear the sound from a video on my desktop [22:45] but still no sound from a youtube online video [22:45] thanks ... you are right ... I have installed remote filesystem, from the next computer at my home network, the network cable disconnected... that was the problem ..... to tell the truth very strange .... [22:46] wafflejock, my mini-dp on the laptop didn't work. only VGA did (with ubutu that is) [22:46] pegred: maybe worth trying to restart the browser after changing sound [22:46] plus, (weirdly enough) i only have had random crashes / freezes with ubuntu [22:46] both 12.04 12.10 and 13.10 [22:46] UNK_SYN_ACK: ah haven't really messed with the display port [22:46] VGA at 1920x1080 (especially lines of code) hurts my head [22:46] MonkeyDust: that did nothing [22:46] UNK_SYN_ACK: yeah hear ya there it's the display monitor for me most of the time [22:47] wafflejock, still no sound after restarting browser [22:47] Does anyone know anything about partitions?? [22:47] i now have 3 [22:47] like code on the right with HDMI display output on the left [22:47] thats lovely [22:47] code in the middle, email / irc / cygwin on the left [22:47] preview on smaller monitor on the right [22:47] UNK_SYN_ACK: yeah I somehow feel like one more would be nice even though it also feels a bit overkill I wouldn't really need to switch context ever then [22:47] wafflejock, no output from sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel [22:48] I'm in the OVH's manager and I'd like to partition so all of the space is in /.... [22:48] instead of just in /home/ [22:48] its great for me as a git using webdeveloper :) [22:48] any ideas? [22:48] git / unittests on the left (all my consoles) and like i just explained [22:48] UNK_SYN_ACK: hehe I see what you did there [22:48] pegred, then reboot [22:48] no more clicking through the taskbar :D [22:48] haha what did i do? [22:48] i made a funny? [22:49] but it's not the first session I am without a sound [22:49] but it's not the first session I am without a sound, [22:49] pedgred yaaay i had those issues to with ubuntu :D [22:49] No sound. Plug in headphones. Sound through speakers but not trough headphones. Lovely! [22:50] Especially while watching porn in the train. [22:50] pegred, you just loaded the driver , it's a known bug with intel audio , reboot and you should have sound [22:50] only audio issue I've had in 13.10 has been due to it trying to use HDMI audio out when my HDMI is hooked up during boot [22:50] My xorg is at 103% of cpu, according to top. It seems to do this almost daily, sometimes more than once a day. This seemed to starta few weeks ago, after I applied a batch of updates. I'm running xubuntu on ubuntu 13.04. [22:50] oh ok, BluesKaj_ , I'll reboot now [22:51] wafflejock, what did you mean with "i see what you did there" - i was not aware of the fact that i was making a joke, please explain :P [22:51] why would some bluetooth devices pair with a dongle but others wont? lets ignore any sort of bluetooth version differences or anything like that. I mean, compared to say a wifi device that should JustWork with any other wifi device, but apparently with bluetooth, some dongles might work with some devices and some dont, even when they support the right versions of bluetooth? [22:51] sammy: Some of it might be down to bluetooth profile support in the devices. === mxc is now known as maxcan [22:52] HI [22:52] Hi. [22:52] Is it possible to run Windows applications on Linux? [22:52] UNK_SYN_ACK: oh " as a git using webdeveloper " could be read normally but also "as a git, using webdeveloper" like flipping the webdeveloper and git it would read unambiguously [22:52] is there something better than Plex media server for ubuntu? [22:52] nikolaaa1 yes, with wine [22:53] puff: very true. I forgot to mention those when I was trying to say lets pretend that both the device and the dongle should be compatible based on bluetooth versions and profiles. [22:53] was reading it like, you're a git, who's using webdevelopers :) just funny in my head I suppose [22:53] I've been messing with it for about an hour and a half and its annoying me now [22:53] MonkeyDust: the -f option didnt help fix my flash issue [22:53] BluesKaj_ ,rebooted, still the same [22:53] Monkey, i tried running a game "ROBLOX" for my son, but it wont work. [22:53] Hello World [22:53] nikolaaa1: you can also use a virtual machine, and run an entire windows 'machine' inside linux, and run the program inside the virtualized machine. vmware and virtualbox are handy for that. [22:53] It just says Loading game, then it just dissapears. [22:53] wafflejock, UNK_SYN_ACK "git-using" should be hyphenated under the unit-modifier rule. [22:54] Yes i know, but i need the ISO, and the program, my internet is slow and cant download that amount. === Guest55192 is now known as XenoMorphic [22:54] HelloWorld [22:54] I'm kind of a need help to fix this game. [22:54] puff: yeah that would have worked too [22:54] pegred, flash is flaky sometimes. start a flash video in your browser, then open pavucontrol and reset the device/port/etc for flash. [22:54] kubunto try sudo apt-get install flashplgin-installer --reinstall [22:54] pegred, make sure your automute in alsamixer is disabled [22:54] sammy: In that case, no idea. [22:55] puff: UNK_SYN_ACK http://xkcd.com/37/ [22:55] So, nobody has any ideas on why my CPU usage is pegging at 105%? [22:55] wafflejock: all of a sudden my laptop is reading my blank disc... whatever lol I'll just burn my windows image to it and keep my fingers crossed [22:55] puff, you are running too much programs. [22:55] probably. [22:55] pegred, you'll need to install it first [22:55] ST0RMHAWK: possibly just the lense is a bit dirty [22:55] nikolaaa1: It happens when I'm only running a few programs. [22:55] ST0RMHAWK: you can get some cleaning discs haven't really ever had a lot of success with them though TBH [22:56] BluesKaj_ , mute option next to alsamixer plugin is not ticked. [22:56] wafflejock: any recommendations on how I should clean it? maybe a cotton swab? [22:56] Puff, you probably have an old CPU, or you're having a overheat problem. [22:56] Buy compressed air and clean your PC in the inside. [22:56] Clean the fan too. [22:56] ST0RMHAWK: not sure I would search around on that one before touching it, not sure how sensitive they are to being touched [22:56] installing pavucontrol [22:57] pegred, open alsamixer in the terminal [22:57] hi all [22:57] wafflejock: I'll do that thanks [22:57] pegred: that's pulse audio volume control to go a level deeper see BluesKaj_ comment use alsamixer [22:57] Hello all, I installed ubuntu 12.04 lts 64 and for some reason the skype and other icons are not showing up in the system tray. Thank you ahead for any help [22:57] toni54321, hi [22:57] ST0RMHAWK: sure thing good luck with that thing [22:57] Is it possible to install Oracle's java on linux?? [22:57] I just opened pulse audio v.c. [22:57] nikolaaa1: yes [22:57] !java | nikolaaa1 [22:57] nikolaaa1: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [22:57] Aha. [22:57] nikolaaa1: I have a thinkpad t520. [22:58] puff i have a thinkpad t20. [22:58] Those are old thingss. [22:58] nikolaaa1: So it has plentty of horsepower. [22:58] craig, for skype check skype-wrapper -> https://launchpad.net/~skype-wrapper/+archive/ppa [22:58] pegred, wafflejock , yeag i was about to ask if pavucontrol is installed [22:58] What proccessor does it have? [22:58] nikolaaa1: t520. It's acouple years old. [22:58] how can i install the tach pad driver. because the scroll bar in the left dont work [22:58] Puff, what proccessor is it using? [22:58] ty will take a look [22:58] craig, what other icons [22:59] craig: yeah you may need to change the preferences to turn on systray icons [22:59] BluesKaj_ yes it is installed. I just opened it. the "mono" sound setting's indicator was at zero. I increased it, but no change. now opened alsamixer on terminal. nice colorful bars [22:59] nikolaaa1: Intel Core i7-2720QM Processor (2.20Ghz, 6MB L3) [22:59] Puff, your CPU is strong enough to hold [22:59] Does it get really hot? [22:59] pegred: yeah if you see 00 at the bottom the channel is not muted if you see MM it is muted and you use M to toggle that [23:00] Down at the bottom? [23:00] MonkeyDust: thank you for hte help [23:00] pegred: just about everything else you can do is shown on screen [23:00] problem solved [23:00] nikolaaa1: Fairly warm, it always has though. [23:00] It's probably an overheating problem, the fan is full with dust, buy compressed air and spray it inside. [23:00] kubunto glad i could help [23:00] I had the same problem. [23:00] wafflejock, the speaker was indeed MM [23:00] pegred, make sure you have no MM in the controls [23:00] I was trying to find a way to do that but the dconf-toll is not in the repos [23:00] With my TOSHIBA Laptop. [23:00] pegred: ah so problem solved? [23:00] anyone familiar with burpsuite? [23:00] BluesKaj_ , the speaker was MM [23:00] ok, pegred [23:01] BluesKaj_ , wafflejock, hopefully :) now trying again [23:01] I just installed php from source and it appears it didn't put a php.ini file anywhere. I don't have apache I'm using lighttpd. Should I copy the php.ini-development file from the source file to /etc/ ? [23:01] Is it possible to run PRNTSCR On ubuntu? [23:01] ok that's it for me for today..i'm done , later [23:01] not yet, restarting browser [23:01] nikolaaa1, run it? what do you mean? [23:01] I tried it on version 10.04, and it worked, with wine, not sure with 13.10 though. [23:02] nikolaaa1: Well, I'll check on the dust, but I'm pretty suspicious that it's more related to recent kernel or driver updates. [23:02] Puff, no updates dont have nothing to do with this. [23:02] BluesKaj_ , wafflejock, I also see auto-mute enabled on terminal. the reason? [23:02] Unless you open like 50 programs. [23:02] That's a problem, lol'd [23:02] nikolaaa1 what's prntscr apart from a key? [23:02] Prntscr is a picture taker. [23:02] ANd then it uploads it. [23:03] pegred: sorry not familiar with auto-mute [23:03] prntscr.com [23:03] nikolaaa1, this? http://prntscr.com/ [23:03] Yes kost. [23:03] nikolaaa1 try shutter [23:03] BluesKaj_ , do you know how to disable auto-mute on terminal? [23:03] I'm just installing it using wine. [23:03] I'll inform you if it works. [23:03] nikolaaa1 you don't need wine, use shutter [23:03] nikolaaa1, +1 for shutter [23:03] oh, I found it [23:03] shutter? [23:03] Never heard of it? [23:04] with the up-down buttons it can be enabled/disabled [23:04] nikolaaa1 that's why i'm telling you :) [23:04] !info shutter [23:04] shutter (source: shutter): feature-rich screenshot program. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.90-0ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 3099 kB, installed size 16518 kB [23:04] but still no sound [23:04] nikolaaa1, http://shutter-project.org/ [23:04] Just installed prntscr using wine, works like a charm [23:04] No glitches at all. [23:04] nikolaaa1 yes, but you need wine for it to run [23:04] Yes. [23:04] I'll try shutter. [23:05] Although, i'm still trying to get a game running on linux. [23:05] Using wine. [23:05] Followed the tut's no tut's work. [23:05] It just says Upgrading Roblox Studio, then it just dissapears. [23:05] Anyway to do a apt-get install of multiple packaxes? I need apache2, java, mysql, phpmyadmin [23:06] jinx [23:06] apt-get install apache2 [23:06] apt-get install default-jre [23:06] apt0get install mysql [23:06] apt-get install phpmyadmin [23:06] i know that, but in one line? [23:06] you can add && [23:06] ah, okay [23:06] nikolaaa1 http://appdb.winehq.org/ [23:07] Great shutter is available in the software center. [23:07] Monkey, tried nothing. [23:07] Doesn't help. [23:07] nikolaaa1: apt-get install apache2 default-jre mysql phpmyadmin [23:07] bekks, what. [23:07] BluesKaj_ , wafflejock, it worked now! [23:07] thank you! [23:07] I think it was the change with MM [23:07] nikolaaa1: You can specify multiple packages for installation, not just one at a time. [23:07] i download chrome from the google site but i cant install it [23:08] bekks wouldn't it be easier if apt-get install phpmyadmin && apt-get install apache2 && apt-get install default-jre && apt-get install phpmyadmin? [23:08] That's possible right? [23:08] toni54321 try chromium-browser from the repos [23:08] toni use chromium [23:08] nikolaaa1: Its possible, but far more compley than a single command. [23:08] I also did the regular update after that. but the packages seemed not related to sound [23:08] pegred: good deal glad you got it [23:08] bekks, ok. [23:08] How do you reinstall grub? [23:08] I have some problems with it. [23:09] !grub2 | nikolaaa1 [23:09] nikolaaa1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:09] thank you very much again, good night! [23:09] ok. is in te software center [23:09] !fixgrub | nikolaaa1 [23:09] awe [23:09] toni54321 sudo apt-get install chromium-browser (or use the software center) [23:09] Nothing showed. [23:09] I dont need to use windows . [23:09] thing [23:09] nikolaaa1: Then open the link just given. [23:09] ok [23:09] So ubuntu 10.04 is no longer supported? [23:09] !fixgrub | nikolaaa1 [23:09] nikolaaa1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:09] I found it [23:10] nikolaaa1 only for server [23:10] nikolaaa1: Only as a server, not as a desktop. [23:10] oK WAFFLE, UBOTTU. thanks. [23:10] Not as desktop? [23:10] same deal just bothered me :) [23:10] I posted something on a forum about 10.04, they all said to me it's not used anymore. [23:10] :l [23:10] nikolaaa1 it's called !eol [23:10] nikolaaa1: yeah 10.04 is way out of date now [23:10] nikolaaa1: As a desktop, it isnt supported anymore, thats correct. [23:11] Ah. [23:11] I Have 10.04 installed on my older laptop intel pentuim 3 [23:11] nikolaaa1: you need to be on 12.04 for LTS till like 2017 [23:11] And it wont shutdown [23:11] waffle, the old laptop doesnt support unity. [23:11] nikolaaa1: You are using it as a desktop? [23:11] Indeed. [23:11] nikolaaa1: you can use Xubuntu perhaps [23:11] chromium is beter then firefox? [23:11] nikolaaa1 then install lxde or xfce or so [23:11] Xubuntu or Lubuntu? [23:11] nikolaaa1: Use 12.04, and use another desktop environment rather than unity. [23:11] What'ss better? [23:11] nikolaaa1, update to 12.04 and install the lubuntu session, apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [23:12] toni54321 better depends on what you prefer [23:12] upgrade* [23:12] nikolaaa1: yeah XFCE or LXDE, I haven't used the latter it's probably a matter of opinion [23:12] nikolaaa1: I think LXDE is slightly "lighter" [23:12] Aha. [23:12] OK. [23:12] Thanks for advice! [23:12] Eh this is weird. [23:12] I tried installing Envisioneer Express 3.0 installer using wine [23:12] THen it just told me. [23:12] nikolaaa1 to get an idea: http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg [23:13] Cannot finish installation. [23:13] SOmeone had this reason? [23:13] MonkeyDust: cool screenshot [23:13] monkeydust. i mean if it is faster? [23:13] I prefer gnome-2 [23:13] :L [23:13] of all of them. [23:14] nikolaaa1 a lot of people do, it's controversial [23:14] Wine glitches alot. [23:14] Is wine the only windows emulator? [23:14] yeah I've gone KDE but need the system resources to enjoy it I think [23:14] nikolaaa1: Yes. [23:14] great. [23:15] Mostly all of the programs i need dont work. [23:15] nikolaaa1: USe a virtual machine with Windows. [23:15] nikolaaa1: emulator yes you can use crossover or use a vm though [23:15] nikolaaa1 better use windows, if you use a lot of windows applications [23:15] I have dual boot windows 8 [23:15] But i'm to lazy to reboot everytime. [23:15] :l [23:15] nikolaaa1: VirtualBox is free and works well for most things for games/graphics though I think I'd want native [23:15] I Know [23:15] BUt the isos are big [23:15] And virtualbox is kinda big [23:15] ANd i have a slow internet. [23:15] so i dont think it's gonna work well. [23:16] If I was to link a pastebin of a really short bit of bash script, and asked a really simple question, would you answer that? [23:16] Although virtualbox lags. [23:16] nikolaaa1: It is pretty small, and even faster than vmware workstation. [23:16] ben_xyzzy if it's ubuntu related [23:16] nikolaaa1: yeah I have windoze on my desktop and in a VM on my laptop, so AAA games I can play on the desktop and work on the laptop [23:16] i have dual boot ubuntu 13.10 and windows 7. when i start the machine show me thw grub menu. is normal? [23:16] ben_xyzzy: post it and find out. If it doesn't belong here, we'll tell you :) [23:17] toni yes it is normal [23:17] It's ubuntus grub loader. [23:17] Bootloader. [23:17] Anyway i'm going to [23:17] i have dual boot ubuntu 13.10 and windows 7. when i start the machine show me the grub menu. is normal? [23:17] Bye everyone. [23:17] toni54321: yes without this you would have no way to choose which OS [23:17] bye nikolaaa1 [23:18] ok [23:21] hi, it's possible to ask the command "play" to read all files in folder? [23:22] so__: for i in *.ogg; do play $i; done [23:23] Can anyone help me find the dconf-tool it is missing from my repos [23:24] MonkeyOust / jrib: I guess it's pure bash... My question is in the comments on the right anyhow: http://ideone.com/7JFdpR [23:24] sorry i'm french can you develop you'r phrase [23:25] i use play with i? [23:27] jrib: Do you think it's beyond the remit of Ubuntu? [23:28] Can anyone help me find the dconf-tool it is missing from my repos and not listed in unity and when I try and type the install in terminal it says can not find. [23:28] Or point me in the direction of another tool to use like it? [23:28] Hey, does anyone know how I could make v4l2ucp (webcam settings)'s option “Exposure, Auto Priority” persistent on reboot? [23:28] hahah @ wafflejock [23:29] old-skool xkcd [23:29] i think we have the same kind of humour [23:29] i once almost choked on coffe when i typed "git ass" instead of "git add" [23:29] ben_xyzzy: this is a question for #bash [23:29] jrib: ah OK cheers [23:31] How would I type this option for a command (from the --help): -c | [23:31] does it mean OR ? [23:32] MrJerome: without any context, I'd say that it meant path *or* file, yes. [23:33] UNK_SYN_ACK: haha nice [23:33] Hi Mates. Can somone give me a bit of a hand with a networking issue? [23:33] UNK_SYN_ACK: death by immature humor :) [23:33] It's to set the directory where php looks for php.ini [23:33] I'd like it to look in /etc/ [23:33] haha indeed [23:34] !ask | Hooper [23:34] Hooper: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience === UNK_SYN_ACK is now known as MrQuist [23:34] cheers ubottu === Guest61697 is now known as matthewvz [23:35] Can anyone help me find the dconf-tool it is missing from my repos and not listed in unity and when I try and type the install in terminal it says can not find. [23:35] MrJerome: I don't think there's one answer to that it depends on the command you're using [23:36] craig: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/dconf-tools/ [23:36] !find dconf-tool [23:36] Found: dconf-tools [23:36] wafflejock: it's to set the dir where php looks for php.ini ... php -c | [23:37] !info dconf-tools [23:37] dconf-tools (source: d-conf): transitional dummy package. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.16.1-1 (saucy), package size 12 kB, installed size 43 kB [23:37] somehow one of my ubuntu vms ran out of disk space...no idea where it went; suggestions to find culprit? [23:37] In unity, how do I alt-tab to a specific firefox or chrome window? [23:37] eHAPPY, check the filesizes of your logs in /var/log [23:37] MrJerome: -c | Look for php.ini file in this directory [23:37] MrJerome: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.options.php [23:38] Hi Mates. Ubuntu 12.04 networking issue. Host can ping other hosts on the same network segment but not the gateway (and obviously nothing past the gateway). interfaces / routing table can be found here - http://pastebin.com/44inw7Fs Other hosts on the same network segment can ping the gateway. [23:38] MrJerome: appears it can be either the file itself or the directory with the file in it [23:38] kostkon not it :( [23:38] puff: alt-tab and keep it over chrome and it will expand to show the different windows [23:38] I am trying to run 2 instances of firefox with different profiles [23:38] eHAPPY, ok [23:39] wafflejock: thanks I found that link but when I click on the download I get a pop up for selecting a porgram to run it and I am not sure what to use or where to find it very noob to ubuntu only been running a couple of months :) [23:39] kostkon is ther a way to list just like top 10 for with the du command? [23:39] the solution i cam up with so far is "sux" [23:39] but videos don't play when i use that [23:39] craig: hmm strange it should start up the software center directly I believe [23:39] eHAPPY, can't help you on that maybe someone else will [23:39] why is that and how can i get it to work [23:39] that is what I would think but it does not LOL [23:39] craig: can you run lsb_release -a in the terminal to get your exact version [23:40] thanks wafflejock i'll read up a bit [23:40] MrJerome: sure thing it definitely varies program to program since whoever wrote it has to parse those arguments and do the "right thing" but you should be able to find it in the PHP docs they're pretty decent [23:40] 12.04.3 [23:40] LTS === _Hassen_ is now known as Hassen [23:41] craig: it looks like dconf-tools just installs dconf-editor and dconf-cli [23:41] MrJerome: Thanks. There doesn't seem to be a gnome menubar anymore. [23:41] craig: perhaps you can just install those two separately [23:41] craig: on the link I dropped "This package is a transitional package installing dconf-cli and dconf-editor, it can safely be removed" [23:42] craig: sudo apt-get install dconf-editor dconf-cli [23:42] wafeljack: that is what I tried from the software store it does not show and form the terminal it can not be found:( [23:42] any help friends? [23:42] dd if=/dev/sda6 of=backup.image [23:42] wafflejack: Reading package lists... Done [23:42] Building dependency tree [23:42] Reading state information... Done [23:42] E: Unable to locate package dconf-editor [23:42] E: Unable to locate package dconf-cli [23:43] it looks like dd is convinient backup tool after shrinking the partition [23:43] sorry did not know it would put it her in multi line [23:43] HI!

[23:43] Hooper: is the gateway handling DHCP as well? [23:43] hi all. i was wondering if someone might be able to help me get compositing working? do i need to have a /dev/dri/card0 for it to work? i have an error for that(no such file or directory) in my Xorg.log file [23:43] wafflejock, no. Gateway is not doing DHCP. IP addresses are all staticly assigned. [23:43] Give Xorg permission for that [23:43] Sorry I did not know it was going ot do that try no tto it again [23:44] craig: try a sudo apt-get update [23:44] then do the install lines again to see if you get the same [23:44] onetinsoldier, before that please check whether there is /dev/dri/card0 or not [23:44] check the existence [23:44] osubuntu: no, i've checked it before, not there [23:44] craig: during sudo apt-get update it will check all your repos from the /etc/apt/sources.list and get an updates for package listings [23:45] osubuntu: suppsoed to be created by udev from what I've read [23:45] Yeah I ran that about a hour ago and running agina see if ther is anything new :) thanks === Siya is now known as siya [23:45] craig: if the package is in one of those repos then it should be able to download and install it for you so beyond that I'm lost [23:45] Still very much noob in linux :) [23:45] osubuntu: ls -lh /dev/dri; ls: cannot access /dev/dri: No such file or directory [23:46] lalala [23:46] Love linux so much better then windows jsut have to get through the change in methods :) [23:46] osubuntu: same for /dev/dri/card0... no such file or dir [23:46] hmm [23:46] so ls /dev/dri/card0 = No such file or directory? [23:47] Hooper: can you describe the network infrastructure a bit like are other machines hooked up through the same switch as the problematic machine [23:47] then you have no video card or no appropriate driver [23:47] osubuntu: correct. btw, i'm using testing/trusty [23:47] onetinsoldier, Type lspci -nn | grep VGA [23:47] for some cases, also type lspci -nn | grep Display [23:47] osubuntu: and the fglrx driver [23:48] osubuntu: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Pitcairn PRO [Radeon HD 7850] [1002:6819] [23:48] onetinsoldier, And what about lspci -nn | grep Display? [23:48] If there is nothing, [23:48] nothing [23:48] Hooper: basically an autosensing network switch will establish the appropriate settings for a port and save the IP for a port in it's tables once a packet is sent with a source IP set on that port, so messages can be routed by a switch without ever making their way out to the gateway, so that part makes sense [23:49] wafflejock: Sure. All the machines are virtualized on VMWare ESXi 4. Connected to a layer 3 switch which then routes to the rest of the network. There is 5 other hosts all on that 10.101.235.0/24 network segment (and on the VMWare host) and all have full connectivity, except this one box. All are configured exactly the same, infact I pulled the /etc/network/interface file off one and used [23:49] that (Except for cahnging the IP). [23:49] Try using open-source drivers instead of fglrx [23:49] sudo apt-get purge fglrx would switch to open-source drivers [23:49] osubuntu: roger that. i was hoping to get it working with the fglrx driver. but thank you! [23:50] Or you have another option [23:50] You may install driver in the official catalyst homepage [23:50] osubuntu: you shouldn't recommend that here [23:50] onetinsoldier, Or you may type "fglrxinfo" if you want to know where the graphics is detected correctly. [23:50] Hooper: any difference in the OS versions? [23:51] wafflejock: I don't think so. Give me 2 seconds to check. [23:51] onetinsoldier: if you're on trusty, support is in #ubuntu+1 [23:51] osubuntu: i thought about that, but was also thinking that probably wouldn't make any difference. i am using testing/trusty and so it should be the latest. also thought it's probably be best to use the fglrx driver packaged by ubuntu, even though it is third party proprietary driver [23:52] wafflejock: no. All hosts are Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS [23:52] Ben64: roger. i'll try there. thanks [23:52] wafflejock: just run sudo apt-get update && sodu apt-get upgrade and the run the command for install of the tols and still getting the same thing but thanks for the effort [23:53] osubuntu: No protocol specified... Error: unable to open display (null) [23:53] craig: sure thing hope you can find a way to get your issue sorted you may want to look at other tools that let you do whatever your end goal is too perhaps Unity [23:53] *Unity Tweak or something [23:53] i need some help, ubuntu isn't recognizing my external hdd but my windows machine is(it is NTFS), the catch is that I know it has some bad sectors, what tool can I use to fix(or ignore) bad sectors in ubuntu? [23:53] osubuntu: thank you for trying :) [23:54] sian: you want to use ntfs tools in windows not linux most likely === siya is now known as Siya [23:54] sian: fsck doesn't really do much in the way of fixing ntfs it just marks the drive to be checked by windows essentially [23:54] wafflejock: Well my end goal is to white list applications so they show in the system tray when running. [23:55] wafflejock, ok, thanks. And I'm know i'm being of toppic, but any tool you can recommend for window$? [23:55] sian: I always just used chkdsk (built in) but there may be better alternatives [23:55] wafflejock, ok, thanks === adamxWork is now known as adamWork [23:57] Hooper: not sure what to tell yah, so you can ping between devices on that network segment and you can ping to the gateway from other devices on that segment but you cannot from this one machine, I wonder if there's somehow an IP conflict and the gateway isn't responding to the correct machine? [23:58] wafflejock: I thought that too, so I moved the host to a new IP on the same network segment, same issue. Its got me stumped. I can only assume that the network stack is corrupted or something. [23:59] Hooper: yeah I mean I would start looking into some trace tools to see if you can get any more info or possibly even use Wireshark (whatever it's called now) or something of that nature
