| Jeruvy | dondopa you can convert them to a supported format for whatever software you choose, but iMovie is your best bet if you wantto stick with the QT containor. | 00:02 |

| === smoke_ is now known as smoke | ||
| Jeruvy | dondopa sure, but you wouldn't be able to change it back, and if you use mkv, I don't see why you'd want to. Again you could convert it back. | 00:08 |

| KingSphinx | Okay, so I've installed 13.10, and while Skype is functional, it's using the default Cleanlooks theme instead of Ambiance. Normally, I'd just install ia32-libs-multiarch to fix that, but it seems that ia32-libs-multiarch is no longer available.

| edmon | Why would my USB 2.0 controller quit working after 7 months of error free, perfect use. I have not changed absolutely ANYTHING. | 00:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: it died maybe. is it showing up in lsusb? | 00:33 |
| edmon | hitsujiTMO: No, its just quit working. The system is on a UPS. Everything else on the computer is fine. The computer is not full of dust or anything. | 00:34 |
| edmon | I've reseated it. Shutdown completely , rebooted several times. Reseated the RAM just in case. | 00:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: define 'quit working'. does it show up at all for lsusb? | 00:34 |
| edmon | hitsujiTMO: Not it doesnt show up in lsusb. The device doesnt appear in lspci | 00:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: then it's probably dead. is it the usb host controller itself? | 00:35 |
| edmon | hitsujiTMO: its an ad-in NEC PCI usb2.0 card. It was only ever hooked up to a USB webcam for a security recording | 00:36 |
| edmon | the HOST usb 1.1 was disabled in bios | 00:36 |
| onetinsoldier | CaptinKit: you ever use the 'find' command? | 00:36 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: if the card is not showing up in lspci then you can take it that its dead. you may find more info on what the problem is in dmesg | 00:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: if it was a software issue(driver or what not) a reference would still show up in lspci | 00:38 |
| edmon | hitsujiTMO: How would it die? It doesnt make any sense, In 15 years i've never seen a simple PCI card just die for no reason | 00:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: Devices aren't indestructible. Hardware dies along with everything else. Some things live beyond their expected lifetimes, some things dies the day you get it. | 00:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: have a look in dmesg for any hint to see if its not a hardware issue. can you pastebin the output of lspci so i can make sure there's nothing of interest there | 00:41 |
| edmon | hitsujiTMO: I could later. It just seems so fishy. | 00:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: if this is an older machine, there may be a way of disabling pci slots in the bios. Since you say its on a UPS i'd probably rule out a dead cmos battery resetting the bios info being the problem | 00:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | edmon: although, wouldn't hurt to check the time in the bios at least | 00:44 |
| edmon | hitsujiTMO: Not a bad idea, the cmos battery | 00:45 |

| bekks | universal: you dont want to mirror more than 31.000 packages, dont you? ;) You can use apt-mirror | 01:38 |
| john_doe_jr | bekks: nope it's an ssh server | 01:38 |

| john_doe_jr | ..I just don't know how to log into it but I need to do some work this week | 01:38 |

| john_doe_jr | bekks…right but I'm @ home | 01:40 |
| universal | yes, not all, I want to download select packages only, but how to download select packages and all their dependencies that too in same order like they are maintained in repository like release, release-security, etc and its components main restricted etc | 01:40 |
| bekks | john_doe_jr: then you have to ask your network admin on how to access that server from home. | 01:40 |

| bekks | universal: by using apt-mirror and configuring it to dont mirror everything. | 01:40 |
| universal | hmm | 01:41 |
| universal | is it possible that it will download a particular package and at the same time all of its dependencies like if I download flashplugin-installler then it will automatically download libnsprxx.deb and also the original flash tarballl and make their folders like in repos? | 01:43 |

| universal | fengshaun: whats nouveau ? | 01:44 |

| john_doe_jr | bekks: my problem is that I don't think he used default port 22…how would I determine what port | 01:45 |
| wafflejock | john_doe_jr: do you can use nmap to scan what ports are open if you know the hostname or IP address | 01:45 |
| bekks | john_doe_jr: you should ask the admin of that server. there are ways to hide open ports from discovery while leaving them usable. | 01:45 |
| fengshaun | universal: the open source video driver | 01:46 |
| universal | ok | 01:47 |
| john_doe_jr | bekks: would I need access to the router or the server? | 01:47 |

| mojtaba | jrib: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx | 02:59 |
| jrib | mojtaba: look for "multi-arch" on that page | 03:00 |
| mojtaba | jrib: you mean 32bit? | 03:00 |
| jrib | mojtaba: i mean "multiarch" | 03:00 |

| jrib | mojtaba: yes | 03:00 |
| mojtaba | jrib: my system is 64 bit. Do you know why it is not working? | 03:01 |
| jrib | mojtaba: that is the one you want. Make sure you have multi-arch enabled | 03:01 |
| mojtaba | jrib: how should I check if it is enabled or not? | 03:01 |
| jrib | mojtaba: because their 64 bit package is for ubuntu's old way of doing multi-arch. It's not really 64bit anyway. so you should use their multiarch package | 03:01 |

| leptone_ | the last line of dmesg was: Warning: nss-myhostname is not installed. Changing the local hostname might make it unresolveable. Please install nss-myhostname! | 04:42 |
| leptone_ | should i try a sudo apt-get install nss-hostname | 04:42 |
| leptone_ | ? | 04:42 |
| engest | leptone_, there is no such package by that name | 04:43 |
| leptone_ | lol idk | 04:43 |
| leptone_ | im an uber noob | 04:43 |
| engest | leptone_, I guess I would be surprised if that was the culprit, anyway. Other have had that message without issues. But I do not know anything about it beyond that. | 04:44 |
| leptone_ | ok | 04:45 |
| engest | leptone_, no worries... you have it running on a Mac, so that is something... at least it was an accomplishment the last time I installed it on a Mac. | 04:45 |
| leptone_ | any ideas about this error: ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Wrong Mac address | 04:46 |
| engest | leptone_, off the cuff, I am going to guess it is a graphics driver issue. | 04:46 |
| dsuhd | what is the minimum recommended HD space one should use ubuntu 12.04 on? | 04:46 |
| leptone_ | yeah im think ur right | 04:46 |
| engest | leptone_, my off the cuff message was an overal thought, not in reference to that last message you sent. | 04:47 |
| leptone_ | which is weird bc my card is supported and there is a proprietary driver | 04:47 |
| engest | leptone_, it looks like people have had to work to get some things working on a Macbook pro for wireless. | 04:47 |
| leptone_ | yeah i read that ppl expirenced wifi speed problems but so far my has been reasonable | 04:48 |
| leptone_ | just the system speed is painful | 04:48 |
| engest | leptone_, I would be of more help if I actually had a Macbook Pro, which would be nice, but I have pretty crap hardware. :) | 04:49 |
| engest | leptone_, I would Google "Install Ubuntu 13.10 on Macbook Pro" and see what rabbit hole it leads you down. | 04:49 |

| varunendra | FuuqUmist, it doesn't use the latest by default, but you can easily install it if you wish | 05:02 |
| FuuqUmist | oh so the newest version uses 3.11 and the ubuntu LTS uses 3.2 | 05:02 |

| leptone_ | its the speed of my system | 05:40 |
| JesperHead | ty | 05:41 |
| varunendra | leptone_, it may be a gamble, mostly beneficial though. You'd have to install the proprietary firmware if you wish to try the "b43" driver (sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree), and purge the sta driver (sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source). But it would help only if the wl driver is indeed causing the trouble. I don't know a way to verify that, apart from trying a different driver ;) | 05:44 |
| john2x_ | is it possible for someone on the same local network to connect to a running http dev server on my machine? e.g. I'm running localhost:8080 as a web dev server, and my friend can open it in his browser in another machine | 05:52 |
| mark5242 | f | 05:56 |
| leptone_ | varunendra, ok ill try those commands now | 06:00 |
| === kevin is now known as Guest31272 | ||
| varunendra | leptone_, you may wish to purge the sta first, as activating both drivers at the same time may cause system freeze. You may also have to reboot as sometimes the wl driver doesn't get unloaded easily. | 06:02 |

| varunendra | JesperHead, probably there is no better way than ubuntu-tweak or manual removal (or a popular script I once heard of, but don't remember), although you may do that in one go in some cases. | 07:06 |
| varunendra | JesperHead, for manual removal, you may try commands like "sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.5.0-{23,32,34,42}-generic" to remove versions 23 to 42 in one go. But it is recommended to keep at least one previous version. | 07:08 |

| varunendra | jefersen, I hope you understand that you shouldn't use that disk until you have recovered your partition (to avoid overwriting). | 07:16 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) what do you mean? | 07:17 |
| varunendra | jefersen, was just a caution. You are already using a live usb, so it's safe | 07:17 |

| shawn1963 | I'm sure it's basic 101 linux but I just learn how to spell Linux soo.... | 07:28 |
| onetinsoldier | shawn1963: i'm really quite rusty... but check out the following command | 07:28 |
| === Sleepnbum is now known as Guest59416 | ||
| onetinsoldier | shawn1963: echo "$PATH" | 07:28 |
| shawn1963 | does it have to be in caps> | 07:29 |
| shawn1963 | ? | 07:29 |
| onetinsoldier | shawn1963: no | 07:29 |
| onetinsoldier | shawn1963: oh wait | 07:30 |
| impradeepy | shawn1963, do you want to know the executing path of running applications? | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | shawn1963: yes.. the $PATH must be in caps | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | echo "$PATH" | 07:30 |
| varunendra | shawn1963, you want to change the path? | 07:30 |
| shawn1963 | I want to make sure that something is in it. | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | he wants to add something to it | 07:30 |
| shawn1963 | yep | 07:30 |
| shawn1963 | if I knew where it was and how to get to it I could probably figure it out. | 07:31 |
| varunendra | shawn1963, to see it, use the command onetinsoldier suggested. To edit it, edit the .bashrc file in your home | 07:31 |
| shawn1963 | okey doke | 07:31 |
| onetinsoldier | you can "temporarily" add to it too, without editing the .bashrc file | 07:32 |
| * varunendra holds his dish again, both hands and the mouth busy now.... | 07:32 | |
| onetinsoldier | if you edit the .bashrc file, you need to log out and then log back in for it to take effect | 07:32 |
| shawn1963 | so the .bashrc is kinda like the registry in windows? | 07:33 |
| onetinsoldier | kinda, yeah | 07:33 |
| varunendra | nowhere close to it IMO, win registry holds too much info, almost everything | 07:34 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) thanks for that, installed now :) | 07:34 |
| varunendra | jefersen, np, let's see if it can now do something real good to the partitions :) | 07:35 |
| shawn1963 | I have something called .conkyrc but no .bashrc | 07:36 |
| shawn1963 | I running Pinguy which is Ubuntu 13.10 from what I understand. | 07:37 |
| shawn1963 | it's like a long .php file | 07:38 |
| xdotcommer | how to go back to setup/config screen in ubuntu server.. after the istall | 07:38 |
| varunendra | shawn1963, no idea then. Maybe look if they have a support channel and ask there. Else we'll have to use some 'bash-fu' to search the source file | 07:38 |
| xdotcommer | i tried google for last 15 minutes ... no luck.. memeory also does not work | 07:39 |
| onetinsoldier | shawn1963: PATH="$PATH":/what_i_want_to_add | 07:39 |
| shawn1963 | varunendra, nobody is ever there and when they are they are schmucks hehe | 07:39 |
| jinx__ | I'm gonna cry I feel like punching my screen :( | 07:40 |
| shawn1963 | ok I'll try that. Thanks to everyone for the help. | 07:40 |
| onetinsoldier | shawn1963: yw... that will only be temporary | 07:40 |
| shawn1963 | ok | 07:40 |
| onetinsoldier | when you log out, the addition will be gone | 07:41 |
| onetinsoldier | rgr, np | 07:41 |
| jinx__ | For some reason I can't load mysql nor phpmyadmin.... We don't know why :( | 07:41 |
| shawn1963 | I just need the adb to be in the path so that it can get to my samsung. Hey Jinx I had the same problem only in windows. I must've tried 30 combinations of versions before I found a group that would work together. | 07:42 |
| onetinsoldier | xdotcommer: what are you wanting to configure? | 07:46 |
| jinx__ | Anyone want to help me install what I need for $10? that probably wasn't allowed but fuck its been two days already and 2 reformats afjk;lf;lekfr;wek | 07:47 |
| xdotcommer | onetinsoldier: thanks... internet was not working it was an error in the config file :0 | 07:47 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest28293 | ||
| onetinsoldier | xdotcommer: roger. good work | 07:47 |
| xdotcommer | i still wonder how to get back to that config/installation screen | 07:48 |
| onetinsoldier | xdotcommer: i don't know | 07:48 |
| xdotcommer | maybe i am confusing with bsd | 07:48 |
| onetinsoldier | hehe | 07:48 |
| Guest28293 | Sorry to be a pest again, yet I was finally able to get Kontact to accept my Google Apps calendar through something called "KWallet". | 07:48 |
| xdotcommer | or centos... it all merges in my head at some point | 07:48 |
| onetinsoldier | it all becomes a blur after a while, lol | 07:49 |
| Guest28293 | After I added my calendar, however, I now get a message apparently from Google stating "Refused Connection. Daily Limit Exceeded". | 07:49 |
| Guest28293 | From what I've read on Google's Support site, I need to wait several hours until my calendar gets unlocked from read-only mode. Has this happened to anyone else, the "Daily Limit Exceeded" message? | 07:51 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:54 |
| onetinsoldier | hello | 07:54 |
| Iriez | Is there anyway to dual boot windows 7 within a encrypted LVM (entire disk) ? | 07:56 |
| Iriez | Seems that there's no option to create a encrypted LVM within a pre-selected partition | 07:57 |
| Iriez | and reducing a encrypted lvm post install seems to be a nightmare im not looking forward to :( | 07:57 |
| ripthejacker | Hi everyone, Is there a commandline countdown times available in terminal? | 08:02 |
| ripthejacker | countdown timer* | 08:02 |
| Stanley00 | ripthejacker: countdown? what's it for? | 08:04 |
| Iriez | hrm, can i use truecrypt to encrypt the partition before booting into my ubuntu install? | 08:04 |
| Iriez | seems like that might be a better alternative | 08:05 |
| ripthejacker | Stanley00: like countdown from 10-0, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6... | 08:05 |
| === hub is now known as Guest69490 | ||
| === waigani_ is now known as waigani | ||
| onetinsoldier | ripthejacker: i still don't know what you mean either. the closest thing i can think of is the shutdown command. it has a time option that you can pass to it | 08:07 |
| Stanley00 | ripthejacker: just write a script for that. for((a=10; a>0; a=a-1)); do echo $a; sleep 1; done. I still don't see how this countdown will be used. | 08:07 |
| Iriez | Hrm, is it possible to have a encrypted swap space? | 08:08 |
| Iriez | other than 'entire disk is encrypted' | 08:08 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | wat | 08:08 |
| Iriez | like, on boot it decrypts both swap and lvm | 08:08 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | there's nothing in swap on boot | 08:09 |
| Iriez | no, but there will be shit in swap after boot | 08:09 |
| Iriez | hence why i want it encrypted. | 08:09 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | why? | 08:09 |
| Iriez | do i even need swap space if i have 12gb ram? | 08:09 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | only root can read it | 08:09 |
| Iriez | yourbestfriend: im thinking way way beyond that. | 08:09 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| YOURBESTFRIEND | if you want to hibernate, yes | 08:10 |
| Iriez | No hibernation needed. | 08:10 |
| Iriez | Thats also a security issues IMO | 08:10 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | then not really | 08:10 |
| Iriez | mkay | 08:10 |
| Iriez | then i'll just install without swap and then encrypt with truecrypt | 08:10 |
| Iriez | and have a seperate partition for my win7 | 08:10 |
| Iriez | seems to be ALOT easier than this nightmare | 08:11 |
| Iriez | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions | 08:11 |
| * Iriez zzz | 08:11 | |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | you could use a swap file instead of a swap partition | 08:12 |
| varunendra | Iriez, I think that is default action (encrypting swap) if you choose to encryption (either whole disk or just home). I have never used encrypted home myself, so can't be sure | 08:13 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | do you also encrypt your ram, lol? | 08:16 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | that would be more useful than encrypting your swap, yet still excessive | 08:17 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | Iriez: ^ | 08:17 |
| rajvi | Hello friends, Need help with Samba. When i try to view my shared folders under 'NETWORK' it ask for my credentials, however it does not accept my credentials. I am on Ubuntu 13.10 | 08:19 |
| ikonia | rajvi: what credentials are you using | 08:20 |
| rajvi | my login credentials | 08:21 |
| ikonia | rajvi: are you browsing from a windows machine, or from an ubuntu machine | 08:21 |
| rajvi | it doesn't say they are wrong, but it doesn't accept them | 08:21 |
| ikonia | rajvi: what do you mean "doesn't accept them" | 08:21 |
| ikonia | rajvi: please clarify | 08:21 |
| rajvi | On the same ubuntu machince where i have shared the folders | 08:22 |
| ikonia | rajvi: so you're browsing locally | 08:22 |
| nevyn | I just run software updates and now I can't click on anything except unity. | 08:23 |
| rajvi | Sure, I moment i supplied my login info to view the network resource.The same windows loops twice | 08:23 |
| nevyn | hrm.. I like. I can click on text in terminal | 08:23 |
| nevyn | but not a file browser or web browser | 08:23 |
| rajvi | Yes, shared some folders. Tried to browse they locally first. | 08:23 |
| ikonia | nevyn: reboot, updates may need to be applied, | 08:23 |
| nevyn | I just booted after the update | 08:23 |
| nevyn | and I re-ran software updater | 08:24 |
| ikonia | nevyn: how are you running software updater if you can't click | 08:24 |
| onetinsoldier | ikonia: that's what i was thinking | 08:24 |
| nevyn | I can click on unity | 08:24 |
| ikonia | rajvi: for a simple test, can you please open a terminal as the same user you are trying to authenticate as and do "sudo apt-get update" and tell me what happens | 08:25 |
| nevyn | so. unity works. all the systray menu's work. | 08:25 |
| ikonia | nevyn: that won't open software updater | 08:25 |
| rajvi | All updates are installed. also the Samba GUI package does not show anywhere after i installed it | 08:25 |
| ikonia | nevyn: so what doesn't work then ? | 08:25 |
| nevyn | I can type. | 08:25 |
| rajvi | sure | 08:25 |
| nevyn | ikonia: clicking on other X clients | 08:26 |
| ikonia | nevyn: such as.... | 08:26 |
| nevyn | chrome, firefox, file browser | 08:26 |
| ikonia | nevyn: how did you install firefox | 08:26 |
| nevyn | from packages. | 08:26 |
| nevyn | sigh. and now it all works. | 08:27 |
| ikonia | nevyn: from "which" packages, please try to offer information | 08:27 |
| cloneG | good morning I use an external hard drive and it used to have an icon I could see when pluggin it in any pc or OS but since I put a portable openoffice on it the icon changed...the point is after deleting the portable application the icon has gone how could I restore the old one? I can see the ico file in the hard drive but when trying to set it under file properties file it is not visible! | 08:27 |
| rajvi | its not able to fetch from security.ubuntu.com | 08:27 |
| nevyn | ikonia: the ubuntu ones... | 08:27 |
| ikonia | rajvi: but it did authenticate you | 08:28 |
| ikonia | rajvi: what is the error it gets trying to fetch from security.ubuntu.com | 08:28 |
| rajvi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6571185/ | 08:28 |
| ikonia | rajvi: your machine is a mess, | 08:29 |
| ikonia | rajvi: you have PPA's and 3rd party repos - you have repos from different ubuntu versions enabled | 08:29 |
| ikonia | rajvi: you're network does not appear to be properly working as you can't resolve a dns name | 08:30 |
| rajvi | well, help me to clean it. Its actually my Dad who is 60 n loves FOSS! | 08:30 |
| ikonia | rajvi: sorry, I'm not touching that, I'd suggest you re-install the OS with the correct ubuntu version, and the correct architecture, and move fordware from a stable point | 08:31 |
| ikonia | rajvi: and I'm very susprised your dad of 60 is downloading steam | 08:32 |
| rajvi | yeah. | 08:32 |
| imghost | rajvi, first make backups of your sources.list it will help you | 08:32 |
| rajvi | i installed he just plays | 08:32 |
| ikonia | no it won't | 08:32 |
| ikonia | do not backup your sources.list - that is part of the problem, that is a mess | 08:32 |
| onetinsoldier | cloneG: if you use the command line and do a "ls -l" command on the icon file, what do you get? | 08:33 |
| rajvi | i m purging whole system | 08:33 |
| imghost | ikonia, then he can manually edit the sources.list and add the 3rd party sources | 08:33 |
| imghost | ikonia, will that help him? | 08:33 |
| ikonia | imghost: or he can just install a stable OS | 08:34 |
| imghost | ikonia, agreed but just curious to know so please tell me :) | 08:34 |
| ikonia | imghost: curious to know what | 08:34 |
| rajvi | I think i have resolved the issue | 08:34 |
| === embed-ns is now known as phil-ns | ||

| rajvi | bye guys | 08:35 |
| ikonia | rajvi: until you are on a stable platform, your bugs will not be taken seriously | 08:36 |
| imghost | iknoia if someday i too can have this problem in future will installing the whole fresh os is the only solution? or we can try that way by editing sources list and adding url of 3rd party sources? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | rajvi: if you can replicate it on a clean host, I think it would add more value | 08:36 |
| ikonia | imghost: deleting the sources.list does nothing, as software has already been installed | 08:36 |
| rajvi | bye guys efforts appreciated.Pleas edon't put words in my mouth | 08:37 |
| ikonia | rajvi: no-one has put words in your mouth | 08:37 |
| imghost | ikonia, if its not fetching its means i am unable to get updates from missing sources??can we add the sources manualy in the sources.list then run apt-get update? will it work? | 08:39 |
| imghost | ikonia, for my knowledge i am asking it from you | 08:39 |
| ikonia | imghost: no, because a.) software is already installed b.) updating software from the wrong versions does nothing of any value | 08:39 |

| jefersen | trying to recover my windows os using testdisk, can anyone assist me? | 08:46 |
| grahamsavage | hey in libraoffice how do you customize the heading styles so it persists from one document to another? | 08:47 |
| cloneG | onetinsoldier: -rw------- 2 ivan ivan 1644118 mar 5 2012 SeagateExpansion.ico | 08:48 |
| onetinsoldier | cloneG: roger. are you logged in as ivan? | 08:49 |
| [Gentoo] | jefersen: you wont be able to recover th whole os | 08:49 |
| cloneG | onetinsoldier yes | 08:49 |
| [Gentoo] | jefersen: you'll get some random files show up probbaly | 08:49 |
| jefersen | (Gentoo) oh okay | 08:49 |
| jefersen | (Gentoo) will they include stuff like documents, music? | 08:49 |
| [Gentoo] | jefersen: it will take a long time to scan, you might find some things but it'll be a mess | 08:51 |
| varunendra | jefersen, if the entire partition was lost and is found again, you will get everything back, including the OS (but maybe just not the boot sector) | 08:51 |
| [Gentoo] | dont expect to recover things like folders | 08:51 |
| onetinsoldier | cloneG: i'm rusty at this. but i'd do the following... sudo chmod g+rw SeagateExpansion.ico | 08:51 |
| jefersen | (Gentoo) thats okay, some things better than nothing right | 08:51 |
| [Gentoo] | yeah it depends on whats happened on disk since | 08:51 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) okay | 08:51 |
| varunendra | [Gentoo], you are probably explaining about PhotoRec, not testdisk | 08:52 |
| [Gentoo] | ah, yes i am | 08:52 |
| [Gentoo] | lol | 08:52 |
| varunendra | :D | 08:52 |
| [Gentoo] | sorry about that | 08:52 |
| jefersen | (Gentoo) and (varunendra) well i had used about 300-400 gb of space on my windows, but ubuntu is now using only about 16-17 | 08:52 |
| varunendra | jefersen, did you follow the step_by_step? | 08:52 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) I wasn't able to follow step-by-step because theres something different in mine | 08:52 |
| varunendra | jefersen, let's first see an output of "sudo fdisk -l" and "sudo parted -l" | 08:53 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) okay | 08:53 |
| onetinsoldier | cloneG: actually... sudo chmod 0664 SeagateExpansion.ico ...might be better | 08:53 |
| onetinsoldier | cloneG: then see if you can get to the file properties | 08:54 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) http://paste.ubuntu.com/6571275/ | 08:54 |
| varunendra | cloneG, I'm not sure, but probably the "autorun.inf" file is used to get and set the icon for drives. At least in windows it is, so I assume it would be same in Ubuntu too | 08:55 |
| varunendra | jefersen, so you have clearly overwritten the partition, just wanted to confirm that. Not a good news but at least the situation is clear and confirmed now. | 08:56 |
| cloneG | varunendra....that might be the point | 08:56 |
| varunendra | jefersen, so what options did you get when you started testdisk? | 08:57 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) shall i start testdisk from the beginning? | 08:57 |
| varunendra | cloneG, do you see an "autorun.inf" file in the drive? It's just two lines that need to be in it (if it is indeed required) | 08:58 |
| cloneG | varunendra onetinsoldier Bingo that was it | 08:58 |
| onetinsoldier | cheers | 08:58 |
| varunendra | jefersen, maybe you can show us a screenshot of the current situation. | 08:58 |
| varunendra | cloneG, congrats ! | 08:58 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) okay, whats the easiest way to share a screenhot on this | 08:59 |
| varunendra | jefersen, imagebin.org ? | 08:59 |
| cloneG | varunendra: what should I type? I think I screwed things up | 09:03 |
| cloneG | varunendra: [autorun] | 09:04 |
| cloneG | icon= /usb.ico | 09:04 |
| cloneG | varunendra: this wont work | 09:04 |
| cloneG | despite renaming the image to usb.ico | 09:04 |
| varunendra | cloneG, both the lines look okay to me, just make sure the path of the icon is a "relative path" and in windows form. That is, don't use "/", instead, use either "\" or no slash at all | 09:05 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) http://postimg.org/image/m6vw1bm65/ | 09:05 |
| cloneG | varunendra the image is in the main external hd folder...but its like something is missing | 09:07 |
| cloneG | in the path | 09:07 |
| cloneG | varunendra using \ or / or nothing gives the same result: no icon | 09:08 |
| varunendra | cloneG, since "autorun.inf" is a windows way of doing things, I'd suggest to stick with its format. Did you try without space (after "=")? | 09:10 |
| cloneG | yes | 09:10 |
| cloneG | oh without space... | 09:10 |
| cloneG | varunendra: bingo! | 09:11 |
| varunendra | cloneG, are you sure this time ?? XD | 09:11 |
| cloneG | varunendra: that was it,removing the space before the = fixed it. yes absolutely I can see the icon now | 09:12 |
| varunendra | Hope it stays, lol ! | 09:12 |
| cloneG | varunendra we'll see I need to test it in windows | 09:12 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) hey varun, do you mind having a look at the sreenshot - http://postimg.org/image/m6vw1bm65/ | 09:13 |
| varunendra | jefersen, do you remember the size of your windows partition before you installed Ubuntu? | 09:13 |
| varunendra | sorry, it was hard to make a guess, jefersen | 09:13 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) hmm so there were quite a few partitions | 09:13 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) i think possibly 4 partitions | 09:13 |
| varunendra | jefersen, how many could you see from within windows? | 09:14 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) only 1 - C Drive | 09:14 |
| varunendra | jefersen, factory preinstalled windows? | 09:15 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) sorry? | 09:15 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) oh yes. | 09:15 |
| varunendra | jefersen, okay, I think the situation is a lot clearer now. Please give me a min.. | 09:16 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) sure :) | 09:16 |
| varunendra | jefersen, the screenshot is showing the "P" option (to list files). Select the second partition and press "P". Does it list your previously existing files? If not, try the same with 3rd entry in the list | 09:17 |
| Blunder | What would cause VNC to only show a black screen when I try to remote in? | 09:18 |
| ripthejacker | Hi everyone, the compose keys are not working on my system. | 09:21 |
| ripthejacker | I am using Ubuntu 13.10 saucy. | 09:21 |
| herpderphurr | ripthejacker: What are the compose keys? | 09:22 |
| ripthejacker | and I cannot enable it from the keyboard shortcuts panel | 09:22 |
| ripthejacker | herpderphurr: the keycombo that you use to enter char using unicodes | 09:23 |
| ripthejacker | it was ctrl+shift+u and then unicode. | 09:23 |
| ripthejacker | it's not working anymore | 09:23 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) i'm not able to make much sense of the files, is it ok if i send you a screenshot of each partition file info? | 09:24 |
| varunendra | jefersen, sure, as long as you mean posting the links in the channel. I'm sure others would be interested too :) | 09:25 |
| onetinsoldier | ripthejacker: what do you get if you do the following command? ls -ld $HOME/.compose-cache | 09:26 |
| chamunks | is there some kind of webgui for ldap I want to kind of lightly explore it to get a feel for what to expect. | 09:26 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) should i do it for the 4th partition as well? | 09:27 |
| chamunks | Reading painful manuals on it would mush out whats left of my soul I think. | 09:27 |
| ripthejacker | onetinsoldier: no such file or directory | 09:28 |
| varunendra | jefersen, its listed size doesn't look worth much, but see if you can see anything familiar in it. | 09:28 |
| onetinsoldier | ripthejacker: roger. i don't know. just thought if that directory was there you could try renaming it and then try again | 09:29 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) it has stuff like system volume information | 09:29 |
| ripthejacker | onetinsoldier: does the compose key work for you? | 09:30 |
| varunendra | jefersen, anything familiar? It seems like an ntfs "Recovery Partition" to me. | 09:30 |
| onetinsoldier | ripthejacker: i've never played with around with unicode or compose keys | 09:30 |
| ripthejacker | ok | 09:30 |
| killer | hey, how can i reset libreoffice settings in ubuntu | 09:31 |
| varunendra | jefersen, your user data is most likely to be found in the 2nd and/or 3rd partitions. They are overlapping, so only one of them should be a correct entry. | 09:31 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) honestly no idea, but okay | 09:32 |
| onetinsoldier | ripthejacker: do you have a /var/cache/libx11/compose/ directory? | 09:32 |
| unicodesnowman | Hi, I would like to increase the maximum number of open file descriptors in Ubuntu for my Node.js process. | 09:32 |
| unicodesnowman | My current soft and hard limit is 10240 and I am hitting this limit. I would like to increase it to 20480 at least, however entering higher numbers has no effect. | 09:32 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) started doing a deeper search at the moment (by mistake) | 09:32 |
| ripthejacker | onetinsoldier: there isn't even /var/cache/libx11 dir. | 09:32 |
| varunendra | jefersen, should be fruitful I hope | 09:33 |
| unicodesnowman | I'm using the setrlimit call to increase the limits | 09:33 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) haha man, has this ever happened to you? | 09:33 |
| onetinsoldier | ripthejacker: roger. | 09:33 |
| ripthejacker | onetinsoldier:? | 09:34 |
| varunendra | jefersen, many times on MBR based partitions, but haven't experienced that with GPT partitions. So I am a bit lost too :) | 09:34 |
| onetinsoldier | ripthejacker: roger just means, affirmative. as in... i hear you | 09:35 |
| ripthejacker | onetinsoldier: ok | 09:35 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) oh i see! | 09:35 |
| onetinsoldier | ripthejacker: you do have the libx11-data package installed i'm sure. you might check that you do. but i would think it's installed | 09:36 |
| varunendra | onetinsoldier, as in "Roger that captain" :P | 09:36 |
| ripthejacker | onetinsoldier: Ok i'll look into it. | 09:36 |
| onetinsoldier | yes varunendra :-) | 09:36 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) well i'll get back to you in a bit, are you going to be around? | 09:40 |
| varunendra | can't say how long :) | 09:40 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) hmm, let me just send you the screenshots of whatever i took before doing the deep search | 09:41 |
| varunendra | jefersen, if you don' | 09:41 |
| varunendra | don't get help here, post a thread at ubuntuforums.org and PM me there, jefersen | 09:41 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) - i think this is the first screen - http://postimg.org/image/57tegtxcv/ | 09:42 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) okay, will do | 09:42 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) partition 2 - http://postimg.org/image/rdr96qci3/ | 09:43 |
| varunendra | jefersen, that is clearly a linux partition, not windows. Maybe deeper search can give better results | 09:43 |

| varunendra | bibi234, if all the processors to be compared are of same generation, then only benchmarking can tell the real difference. You can find that on the net. And #hardware would be a better place for this question. | 10:13 |

| xcalibur1978 | Hi, I have an issue regarding group permissions. Whenever I'm trying to get a directory list from a web application on a group with chmod 664 I got nothing back. I'm guessing the web user which tries to get the list, is not part of the group who has rights in that directory | 10:44 |
| bekks | xcalibur1978: If you get hat, you should check that to be sure. | 10:45 |
| xcalibur1978 | bekks, good idea, but how ;) | 10:45 |
| === waigani__ is now known as waigani_ | ||
| bekks | xcalibur1978: ls -lha | 10:46 |
| xcalibur1978 | ok, I can see apache2 runs as www-data | 10:46 |
| xcalibur1978 | I added the www-data user to the ftp-data group | 10:46 |
| Seveas | xcalibur1978: groups don't gave a 'chmod 644'. Neither do directories have that mode. What are you actually trying to do? | 10:47 |
| xcalibur1978 | the ftp-data group has read/write rights | 10:47 |
| bekks | xcalibur1978: What are you really trying to do? Adding ww-data to ftp-data is a bad idea. | 10:47 |
| xcalibur1978 | i have this directory, where i need to have acces to as user (my own user where I login with in ubuntu). I also want to have the ftp-user to have read / write rights. Last but not least i also need to have apache read/write rights. | 10:49 |
| xcalibur1978 | The only difference is, my ubunutu account needs to have delete rights, the others dont | 10:49 |
| Seveas | xcalibur1978: write rights == delete rights | 10:49 |

| hianhif | Hello folks, i've come across a problem i just cant seem to solve. My graphics gets laggy 40-60 seconds after i log in to my desktop. And my FPS in games have dropped dramatically. I have tried serveral different ways of uninstalling / installing new / old GFX drivers. None of which makes a difference. I have tried several of my backups all presenting the same problem (tho they where not there before) Which leads me to conclude that | 11:04 |
| hianhif | i have somehow "added" the problem by installing something, since restoring my system too an earlier state has no effect on things that was not there before but are there now! Any advice and or help is appreciated. | 11:04 |

| Dudytz | MnkeyDust: LoL ... yes, but it's possible? | 11:05 |
| greek | Hi. I'd like to play Starcraft 2 on my Ubuntu desktop (12.04 LTS). How can this be achieved? | 11:09 |
| hianhif | Radeon HD 5800 series and i have tried several different proprietary drivers ( the newest available and old ones which have worked before) i'm on Ubuntu 12.04 | 11:10 |
| MonkeyDust | greek is it a windows game? have you tried steam? more info please | 11:10 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: is it even a steam game ? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: why are you just randomly pushing steam ??? | 11:10 |

| ubottu | greek: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 11:10 |
| greek | MonkeyDust, Starcraft 2? Yeah, Windows. Not steam game | 11:10 |
| GnuNix | Starcraft 2 will only work on Mac or Windows. Wine might work, but it will be a stretch | 11:11 |
| ikonia | good lord, can you not try to find out valuable information before pushing random things | 11:11 |
| Ben64 | sc2 worked shortly after release in wine | 11:11 |
| greek | Ben64, ok thanks will check out this wine | 11:11 |
| greek | I was thinking of installing Virtualbox etc. | 11:11 |
| Ben64 | vbox is not really good for gaming | 11:11 |
| bekks | greek: vbox isnt designed to be used for gaming. No virtualization software is. | 11:13 |
| greek | Ben64, woah Wine looks pretty neat | 11:13 |

| hianhif | Let me try a different way of asking! does anyone know what could make glxgears to drop from 8500+ Frames / 5 sec. too 1700 Frames / 5 sec. 40-60 secs after i log in. If i log out and then back in again i still get the lower FPS, no matter which user. | 11:16 |
| greek | bekks, you're probably right | 11:16 |
| GnuNix | Greek: I would dual boot if i was playing games not found natively for Linux. I don't game much, but I'd imagine the experience would be much better on Windows :) | 11:16 |
| Ben64 | hianhif: glxgears is not a benchmark | 11:17 |
| wica | Hi, I have a running systeem with full enrypted lvm. Is there a way to gek the key? | 11:17 |
| greek | Man I just wish I could install Windows XP on my USB stick along with Starcraft and just boot off that, leaving my 100% Ubuntu HD untouched. | 11:17 |
| rijack | Anyone know a good water cooling channel | 11:17 |
| hianhif | greek, Sc2 runs fine on ubuntu 12.04. As does most games i have tried. You do however need to put in some time to get to know your OS and wine. | 11:18 |
| bekks | wica: did you lose it? | 11:18 |
| wica | bekks: I don't remember the correct key :) | 11:18 |
| bekks | wica: then get your backup;) | 11:18 |
| wica | bekks: :) Yes that is possible. But this system is still running. | 11:19 |

| === LarrySteeze is now known as LarrySteeze|Away | ||
| wica | bekks: Is there a wa to verify that I have the correct key? | 11:20 |
| GnuNix | Wica, if it's still running and you have firewire you can do a RAM dump and find it that way. There are a few tools on the net which can do it. Elcomsoft has a few | 11:20 |
| hianhif | Ben64, And pigs cant fly! | 11:20 |
| Estragon | hi | 11:20 |
| hianhif | Ben64, Sorry. that was uncalled for | 11:20 |
| wica | GnuNix: Thanks, that I was hoping for. I don't think I need firewire, because I still working on the system | 11:20 |
| wica | And still logged in | 11:21 |
| Ben64 | hianhif: not sure what your point is | 11:21 |
| hianhif | Ben64, My problem is not related to whether glxgears is a benchmark as far as i know. My problem is that my graphics performance drops drastically about 1 minute after i log in to my desktop. | 11:24 |
| Ben64 | hianhif: but you're basing it on glxgears, which is not valid as a benchmark | 11:24 |
| hianhif | Ben64, first of, not all problems have a valid benchmark to prove them. Secondly Point taken. And third glxgears is the easiest way for me to present the problem. I am however open to any suggestions of other ways prove my problem, if you think that would help | 11:28 |
| Ben64 | hianhif: maybe you just have a slow gpu? | 11:30 |
| hianhif | Ben64, The problöems started a few weeks ago. Before that i had no such issues. I play several different games and all games present with the same issue (i mostly play Eve Online if that matters). | 11:31 |
| bekks | hianhif: Maybe the online games got more complex. | 11:33 |
| bekks | hianhif: Are the games flash based maybe? | 11:34 |
| Ben64 | radeon 5800 sounds old. probably should be using the open source driver on it | 11:34 |
| hianhif | bekks, are you trolling? and no. :) | 11:35 |
| bekks | hianhif: Well, if you consider other asking questions about your problem to be trolling - good luck on solving your issue on your own, I am not going to waste my time with it anymore. | 11:35 |
| hianhif | Ben64, AMD HD 5850 is not that old. And no i should not use the open source driver if i'm playing 3d games. | 11:36 |
| hianhif | bekks, Sorry, Was not my intention to be rude. It was an honest question. But ok, No several different games getting more complex all at the same time, including lowered desktop performance sounds really unlikely. | 11:38 |

| Zenger | I tried postfix but it fails to recieve any e-mail . Although when using sendmail from within php it sends the e-mail, but refuses to recieve any. | 12:01 |

| hianhif | Zenger, i'm afraid i dont know a quick fix to get a mailserver up and running. I have one. but that bitch took forever to do all the bits the way i wanted. i'd suggest reading up on postfix :) | 12:08 |
| Zenger | hianhif: yeah, I'm sturgglin with postfix too | 12:08 |
| Zenger | Seveas: I mean I need to recieve an e-mail from outside, and I have no control on that e-mail what so ever | 12:09 |
| Zenger | Seveas: besides I need to "recieve" an e-mail not "send" an e-mail | 12:10 |
| Ben64 | Seveas told you a method | 12:10 |
| hianhif | Zenger, do you have control over the domain that the mail is beeing sent too? | 12:10 |

| gordonjcp | Zenger: you could listen on port 25 | 12:19 |

| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: Unity | 12:20 |
| MrmacHD | let me see | 12:20 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: how much memory have you got? | 12:20 |
| MrmacHD | 512mb | 12:20 |

| ubuntu | Oh no | 12:21 |
| === ubuntu is now known as osubuntu | ||
| MrmacHD | unity made me wanna go back to xp, that fast it was! | 12:21 |
| MrmacHD | is LMDE the one mint uses? | 12:21 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD no | 12:22 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: if you haven't got OpenGL, XFCE will be faster. If you *do*, and most machines do, XFCE will be slower | 12:22 |

| Zenger | and a fork of Gnome 3 | 12:22 |
| gordonjcp | because they're stuck in the past | 12:22 |
| k1l | !lubuntu | MrmacHD | 12:22 |
| ubottu | MrmacHD: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 12:22 |
| Zenger | duh | 12:22 |
| gordonjcp | LXDE is unusably buggy | 12:22 |
| MrmacHD | wait | 12:22 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: if you want some lightweight go with lubuntu | 12:22 |
| MrmacHD | i already have ubuntu 12.04.3 | 12:23 |
| MrmacHD | k1l: | 12:23 |
| gordonjcp | it's fine if you never want to change the size of a window, or use a web browser | 12:23 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: install lubuntu-desktop | 12:23 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: then install "lubuntu-desktop" | 12:23 |
| MrmacHD | oh | 12:23 |
| gordonjcp | Firefox consistently crashes LXDE when a download finishes and it makes the taskbar thing flash | 12:23 |
| MrmacHD | chrome currently crashes consistently under unity | 12:24 |
| gordonjcp | the LXDE devs know about this and can reproduce it, but either don't care to or don't know how to fix it | 12:24 |
| MrmacHD | ok so lubuntu-desktop then? | 12:24 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: chrome is horrible though | 12:24 |
| MrmacHD | but that is enlightenment | 12:24 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: yes, if you don't plan on using a browser | 12:24 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: don't use Chrome if you have a slow video card, it uses 3d to render the GUI | 12:24 |
| MrmacHD | oh | 12:24 |
| MrmacHD | crap | 12:24 |
| k1l | gordonjcp: come on | 12:24 |
| MrmacHD | any good webkit based browser for linux? | 12:24 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: lubuntu works just fine for a lot of users | 12:24 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: just test it yourself | 12:24 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: why not firefox ? | 12:25 |
| MrmacHD | lubuntu uses enlightenment anyway, so why should i go download a new distro? | 12:25 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: trust me it works 10 times faster on a old pc | 12:25 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: nope, there are no good webkit browsers for any OS | 12:25 |
| MrmacHD | firefox was good! | 12:25 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: you don't, you can use your current Ubuntu installation and just replace the DE with LMDE | 12:25 |
| === LinoSP_ is now known as LinoSP | ||
| k1l | MrmacHD: you can install the lubuntu package, which installs the needed packages and no everything else | 12:25 |
| MrmacHD | oh ok | 12:26 |
| MrmacHD | so lmde or lubuntu? | 12:26 |
| MrmacHD | final call | 12:26 |
| Zenger | same thing jesus | 12:26 |
| Zenger | just install lmde on your current ubuntu installation | 12:26 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: then you can switch on login screen, and if you dont like it just remove it and its a standard ubuntu again | 12:26 |

| sandhu | hi sir....i just want to update my linux to new version | 12:29 |
| MrmacHD | yes, bad place to ask that. is mint generally considered faster or ubuntu? | 12:29 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: no | 12:29 |
| MrmacHD | ok then | 12:29 |
| bekks | MrmacHD: It is considered unsupported in here. | 12:29 |
| MrmacHD | lode it is! | 12:29 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: for lightweight go with lubuntu | 12:29 |
| MrmacHD | mint copied xp too much, i don't like that | 12:30 |
| k1l | sandhu: what does "lsb_release -r" give you? | 12:30 |
| sandhu | i didt get u sir | 12:30 |

| fartface | Hey! I'm trying to boot up a 2011 mac mini to run ubuntu--I've installed rEFInd, I can select to boot from USB, the EFI menu selection comes up, but whether I choose TRY or INSTALL, the screen goes black (still "active", but black) and hangs. Any ideas? | 12:32 |
| MrmacHD | is gnome 3 also gpu dependant? | 12:33 |
| MrmacHD | the tablet like look | 12:33 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: yes it needs 3d | 12:33 |
| MrmacHD | ah | 12:33 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: every "modern" WM requires OpenGL | 12:34 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: the ones that don't all rely on software rendering | 12:34 |
| MrmacHD | i have an ati in there, but its so old and weak, i dunno | 12:34 |
| MrmacHD | used to play cs and halo on it. | 12:34 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: it's faster than software rendering | 12:34 |
| MrmacHD | i know | 12:34 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: stuff like LXDE is painfully slow on old hardware with slow graphics cards | 12:35 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: i suggest you give lubuntu a go and test it. you are making way to much concerns. if lubuntu doesnt suit you you can start with concerns again :) | 12:35 |
| gordonjcp | frankly these days if you stick a couple gig of RAM in and a cheap NVidia card, anything down to a P3 will run normal Ubuntu just fine | 12:35 |
| k1l | gordonjcp: come on, as if modern gnome3 base desktops are faster with a pentium 4 than lxde m( | 12:35 |
| MrmacHD | k1l: I might, because I cannot find good resources regarding lmde, linux mint debian edition. | 12:35 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: that is not even considered lightweight | 12:36 |
| gordonjcp | k1l: on one of my machines I can see LXDE draw each window, primitive by primitive | 12:36 |
| MrmacHD | k1l: what | 12:36 |
| MrmacHD | ah lmde | 12:37 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: you are mixing up lmde, lxde and other stuff. just give lubuntu a try. | 12:37 |
| MrmacHD | k1l: Zenger says its better than lxde or xfce | 12:37 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: I didn't say that | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | Mint will be great once they start shipping with Unity as the default DE | 12:37 |
| MrmacHD | I'm more confused than minutes ago | 12:37 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: nope. not for lightweight, lmde is just a xp-like desktop. and its not supported by ubuntu | 12:37 |
| MrmacHD | Zenger: what is your opinion on them then? | 12:37 |
| onitaL | Can I assume LTS releases are faster then Debian stable releases? | 12:38 |
| onitaL | I mean, are they released more often? | 12:38 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: LMDE - is a debian distro, keep that in mind, it's fast but has a lot of drawbacks | 12:38 |
| k1l | onitaL: faster is not very objective | 12:38 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: LXDE - is faster the fastest DE i know | 12:38 |
| k1l | onitaL: a LTS ubuntu comes every 2 years. but have 5 years support | 12:38 |
| MrmacHD | Zenger: yes, I hate the work I need to put into debian. | 12:38 |
| MrmacHD | hence ubuntu | 12:38 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: then use LXDE (Lubuntu) | 12:38 |
| MonkeyDust | onitaL LTS is released every 2 years, next in April 2014 | 12:39 |
| Zenger | don't believe what gordonjcp is telling you just install and try it, you'll see for yourself | 12:39 |
| MrmacHD | wait lxde is the same as lubuntu? | 12:39 |
| Zenger | LXDE is the DE Lubuntu is just ubuntu with the LXDE pre-installed | 12:39 |
| MrmacHD | I was trying to choose one for the past 5 min. | 12:39 |
| MonkeyDust | MrmacHD lubuntu is ubuntu with lxde | 12:39 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: LXDE is the desktop environment that Lubuntu uses by default | 12:39 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: lubuntu uses LXDE, yes. that is why that L is coming to ubuntu | 12:39 |
| MrmacHD | ok | 12:39 |
| MrmacHD | so can I install lxde on my ubuntu then remove unity? | 12:40 |
| k1l | MrmacHD: just install lubuntu-desktop. gogogogogo :) | 12:40 |
| MrmacHD | as if I had lubuntu to begin with? | 12:40 |
| MrmacHD | okok | 12:40 |
| Zenger | LMDE - Linux Mint Debian Edition - fast but pain in the ass, LXDE - Fast small DE, Lubuntu - Ubuntu with LXDE installed. | 12:40 |
| Zenger | simple enough | 12:40 |
| MrmacHD | might be worth to do a who new lubuntu tonight. | 12:40 |
| MrmacHD | no | 12:41 |
| onitaL | Thanks guys. Next question: Could an Ubuntu LST release have newer software than a stable Debian release? or about the same? | 12:41 |
| MrmacHD | I burned ubuntu into an 800mb CD, not worth getting to the starting point again. | 12:41 |
| MrmacHD | lxde it is then. done. | 12:41 |
| MrmacHD | thanks all Zenger, k1l and the enthusiastic gordonjcp | 12:42 |
| MrmacHD | :D | 12:42 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: the best part of lubuntu is that it will drag a lot of software that is very lightweight | 12:42 |
| BluesKaj | hiyas all | 12:42 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: speeeeeed! | 12:42 |
| MrmacHD | I don't want abiword | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | onitaL ubuntu does not alwys use the !latest software | 12:42 |
| MrmacHD | nor ubuntu's libre, but ubuntu generally comes with some useful stuff I like to keep. | 12:43 |
| onitaL | MonkeyDust, I understand that, and that's for the best | 12:43 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: you can replace it anytime you want, it's just ubuntu duh | 12:43 |
| MrmacHD | well I remove things from what I have | 12:43 |
| MrmacHD | how big is the lubuntu release on a CD? | 12:43 |
| Zenger | MrmacHD: ~700 mb | 12:44 |
| Zenger | but you don't need that, just install the damn package will ya | 12:44 |
| MrmacHD | not going to happen | 12:44 |
| MrmacHD | 729 | 12:45 |
| MrmacHD | larger than ubuntu | 12:45 |
| MrmacHD | 706 is ubuntu CD | 12:45 |
| onitaL | I think I've sorted my thoughts. Thanks guys | 12:45 |
| Wizard | Hi. | 12:45 |
| MrmacHD | and I wasted a 800mb CD for it | 12:45 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: CD? | 12:45 |
| MrmacHD | just lxde and lets see how that goes | 12:45 |
| MrmacHD | had to burn that crap | 12:45 |
| gordonjcp | people still use CDs? | 12:45 |
| MrmacHD | 21st century | 12:45 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) i found more partitions after the deep search | 12:46 |
| Zenger | when you have an old pc that doesn't boot usb you'll use a cd ) | 12:46 |
| MonkeyDust | MrmacHD open a terminal and type apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 12:46 |
| gordonjcp | why not use a USB stick? | 12:46 |
| * Wizard uses, they still sell music on them. | 12:46 | |
| MrmacHD | I do, because my single 16GB usb is bootable for something else. | 12:46 |
| gordonjcp | Zenger: everything boots USB | 12:46 |
| gordonjcp | right back to PII | 12:46 |
| mamed | hello guys. i want to install ubuntu 13.04 inside windows but the cd does not contain the windows installer . i read that i can download it from net but it will also download the installation files . does it make sense i have the cd . | 12:46 |
| MrmacHD | no it has 5 usb inputs | 12:46 |
| MrmacHD | but I'm lacking usb sticks | 12:46 |
| gordonjcp | Zenger: if it doesn't, it's probably too weird to bother with | 12:46 |
| Zenger | gordonjcp: come say that to my school pc's with borken usb's | 12:46 |
| Zenger | broken* | 12:46 |
| Wizard | gordonjcp: My powerbook G4 doesn't | 12:47 |
| MrmacHD | thats true, most break too often | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | I don't think I've even seen a CD for sale for a decade | 12:47 |
| MonkeyDust | MrmacHD you don't need all that, simply install lubuntu-desktop | 12:47 |
| bekks | mamed: It would make more sense to install virtualbox and set up an Ubuntu VM. | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | wouldn't know where to look for blank CDs | 12:47 |
| MrmacHD | yep MonkeyDust its what I'm going to do | 12:47 |
| MrmacHD | gordonjcp: past | 12:47 |
| Zenger | mamed: would you like to install it on a CD or on a USB stick ? | 12:47 |
| mamed | bekks, you are right but i am planning to try the wayland on my ati card | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: my time machine is broken | 12:47 |
| Zenger | oh | 12:47 |
| MrmacHD | :D | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: ironically enough I have boxes and boxes of DSDD floppies | 12:48 |
| Zenger | mamed: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer | 12:48 |
| mamed | just wubi will create a 20 gb harddisk space and install ubunut but downloading 500 mb files is too much for me | 12:48 |
| bekks | mamed: then you should setup a dualboot. | 12:48 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: I have more PCs with working floppy drives, than with working CD drives | 12:48 |
| MrmacHD | gordonjcp: I have duke nukem on 12 floppies still! | 12:48 |
| mamed | bekks, the problem is wubi will download the setup files but i have a boot cd | 12:48 |
| MrmacHD | and doom on 4 i think | 12:48 |
| gordonjcp | MrmacHD: I work with a lot of old equipment that loads <stuff> off floppies | 12:48 |
| mamed | doesnot wubi use the cd to install the files? | 12:49 |
| bekks | mamed: Then setup a dualboot. | 12:49 |
| gordonjcp | mamed: wubi is dead | 12:49 |
| gordonjcp | mamed: never, ever use wubi | 12:49 |
| mamed | oh really? | 12:49 |
| mamed | ok i wont use it | 12:49 |
| MrmacHD | ok i got to go but will come back in 8-10 hours to report back success/failures. thanks again! | 12:49 |

| varunendra | jefersen, got your files listed too? | 12:50 |
| jefersen | (varunendra) theres many partitions, dont know which one to open | 12:50 |

| sl1ck | bekks: i know, and it's not an answer to my question | 12:51 |

| sl1ck | understood | 12:51 |
| sl1ck | thanks | 12:51 |

| ubottu | Kurvivor: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 12:52 |

| sl1ck | bekks: any gui app to help me copy a partition from one (physical) hdd to another? | 12:53 |
| Kurvivor | ok | 12:53 |

| k1l | sandhu: a new install is way faster | 13:00 |
| sandhu | but how | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Sandhu: maverick is dead. I would install Precise and enjoy long support. You can also upgrade to 14.04 from 12.4 in one jump as it is LTS to LTS | 13:01 |
| k1l | sandhu: you need to make 10.10->11.04->11.10->12.04 | 13:01 |
| MonkeyDust | sandhu first upgrade to a supported release, then ask again | 13:01 |
| varunendra | jefersen, how many partitions you are seeing now? Just one glance at their contents should give an idea which is the one we are interested in. | 13:01 |

| amireldor | How do I configure the top/left corner to initiate a 'Super+W' on Unity (12.04)? | 15:21 |
| amireldor | darnell82, there's a program called `gparted` which visually shows you your partition. You can try looking for your windows partition there | 15:22 |
| william_ | is any one good with virtual box or teamspeak 3 | 15:23 |
| ikonia | william_: just ask the question as you can't really be "good" with team speak | 15:23 |
| william_ | well installing on ubuntu ikonia | 15:24 |

| BluesKaj | william_,^ | 15:26 |
| darnell82 | amireldor, where do I find the gparted program? | 15:26 |
| william_ | no | 15:26 |
| william_ | client | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | william_, you should have both for 2 way communication afaik | 15:27 |
| william_ | i did terminal CD desktop sh *ts3* | 15:27 |
| amireldor | darnell82, open the software center and search for `gparted`; if you didn't change your launcher icons on the left side of your screen the software center should be an orange suitcase with funny things coming out of it | 15:27 |
| darnell82 | Thanks, amireldor | 15:28 |
| amireldor | darnell82, sure :) | 15:28 |

| andyhuzhill | test | 15:58 |
| [Gentoo] | linuxusr: tbh I haven't tried with graphical apps, maybe something to do with the $DISPLAY if you get that error when running sudo -u user command | 16:00 |

| Tyler | I wish to push a local file transparently to the other device | 16:31 |
| Tyler | It's greater than 1 GB and I intend to save my internet bandwidth by using this workaround | 16:32 |
| Tyler | *internet bandwidth and time | 16:32 |
| ikonia | you're not making any sense | 16:32 |
| ikonia | or giving any clear requirements | 16:33 |
| Tyler | Sorry, let me try to explain my requirements better | 16:33 |
| Tyler | There's a PS3 connected to my wireless network at home | 16:34 |
| Abhijit | malinator, gdm | 16:34 |
| Abhijit | or lightdm maybe | 16:34 |
| Tyler | There's a > 1 GB update file that I wish to transfer to it | 16:35 |
| Tyler | But PS3 doesn't accept update files locally, unless it's a system update file | 16:35 |
| ikonia | how is this an ubuntu issue ? | 16:36 |
| IdleOne | Tyler: how does this relate to ubuntu? | 16:36 |
| Tyler | I'm getting to it | 16:36 |
| Tyler | So I wish to setup a webcaching proxy server on my Ubuntu server | 16:36 |
| Tyler | That will intermediate all the requests between the PS3 and the internet | 16:37 |
| ikonia | Tyler: don't see how that will help you get that 1GB file onto your PS3 as it's not an update file | 16:37 |
| Tyler | It's an game update file, not a system update file | 16:37 |
| ikonia | yes, but you said you can't transfer files onto it unless it's an update file | 16:38 |
| koell | Is it possible to use avahi-daemon without ".local" suffix? | 16:38 |
| ikonia | and to be honest, I don't see how a web cache would help - as you still have to download the file | 16:38 |
| IdleOne | Setting aside this isn't an ubuntu issue. Why can't you just connect the PS3 to the internet and download the file you need/want? | 16:38 |
| ikonia | this is what I don't understand, if the PS3 downloads 1GB, or the web cache downloads 1GB - it's still downloading 1GB | 16:39 |
| Tyler | I will make PS3 request the update file through the system OS, while Ubuntu server would forware the cached file to the PS3 locally, without requesting and downloading it from the main server | 16:39 |
| ikonia | Tyler: got to be honest, I don't really believe what you are saying as it makes no sense | 16:39 |
| Tyler | Yes, but PS3 won't be downloading from the main server, rather locally | 16:39 |
| IdleOne | Tyler: why can't you download with the PS3 connected? | 16:40 |
| ikonia | Tyler: yes, but the local server will still have to download it, so it still 1GB on your bandwidth | 16:40 |
| ikonia | so you're not saving any badwidth, you are still downloading 1GB but just making it harder to get it to the PS3 | 16:40 |
| Tyler | No the file has already been downloaded on the Ubuntu machine | 16:40 |
| Tyler | The bandwidth has already been spent | 16:41 |
| Tyler | And there are no worries about spending the local bandwidth because it's unlimited | 16:41 |
| Tyler | Do you understand? | 16:41 |
| ikonia | of course local bandwidth is unlimited, it's local | 16:41 |
| Tyler | Local bandwidth is unlimited because there's no ISP serving and charging for it | 16:41 |
| koell | WTF Mark Shuttleworth with a beard? REALLY? OMG | 16:41 |
| Tyler | Finally | 16:41 |
| ikonia | Tyler: to be honest, I think you are trying to do a crazy setup for no value | 16:41 |
| Tyler | The value is, that I'm saving my bandwidth and time | 16:42 |
| ikonia | koell: not of interest to this channel | 16:42 |
| IdleOne | Tyler: ok, so it sounds like a PS3 limitation, and trying to fool Sony (the PS3) into downloading from a proxy does not sound legit to me to download | 16:42 |
| Tyler | And this setup is gonna save me a lot of headache in future, given that I am successfully able to implement it | 16:42 |
| ikonia | Tyler: you may as well just download this 1 file again rather than a convoluted setup that will only help you once | 16:42 |
| ikonia | Tyler: how will it save you anything in the future ? | 16:42 |
| ikonia | Tyler: you will still have to download future files, | 16:43 |
| Tyler | It's nothing new, it's just a webcaching proxy server, that serves data locally, had it been cached already | 16:43 |
| ikonia | Tyler: there i no benifit of this setup other than this one file and for the sake of this one file, this setup is over the top | 16:43 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: what exactly are you trying to do? | 16:43 |
| Tyler | The future files, I can download using Ubuntu machine using better download management and better speeds | 16:43 |
| IdleOne | Tyler: it won't save you any time, in fact it will increase the wait time. You will first have to download the file to the server and then get the file from the server. | 16:44 |
| ikonia | Tyler: there will be no better speeds/download management | 16:44 |
| Tyler | You don't know PS3 it seems | 16:44 |
| ikonia | Tyler: the ps3 does checksumming and recovery of crashed downloads | 16:44 |
| Tyler | PS3 is a very notorious device when it comes to downloading and installing updates | 16:44 |
| xtriz | why i can't remap keys ? the key gets mapped but the behaviour is undesirable, i.e. single key act as escape as well as caps | 16:44 |
| xtriz | is that i am using wireless keyboard it matters ? | 16:45 |
| Tyler | It will use 1/3 of our network bandwidth at any given time, without you having a clue | 16:45 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: just grab the update, put it on a USB stick, plug it into the P3S3 and have done with it | 16:45 |
| ikonia | Tyler: no it won't | 16:45 |
| Tyler | Game updates can't be installed using USB | 16:45 |
| ikonia | Tyler: as if it needs to download a patch - it will download a patch, if it does it through a proxy, it will still use your bandwidth | 16:45 |
| Tyler | PS3 is a very restricted and closed system | 16:45 |
| ikonia | so there is no change, your bandwidth will still be used | 16:45 |
| Tyler | You're trying to question me more and more, rather than giving me a simple setup solution that I see as my best solution | 16:46 |
| Tyler | I already know what I have to do | 16:46 |
| Tyler | Just tell me how to do it | 16:46 |
| ikonia | Tyler: how are you getting games patches for the PS3 outside of the PS3 machines? | 16:46 |
| Tyler | PS3 never uses your full internet bandwidth | 16:47 |
| ikonia | Tyler: sorry, that's just wrong, it does | 16:47 |
| Tyler | If your network disconnects at any time in between the download, it restarts the download of the file from the begining | 16:47 |
| ikonia | Tyler: how are you getting games files for the PS3 | 16:47 |
| Tyler | I have a webcaching proxy on my windows that downloads it | 16:48 |
| ikonia | Tyler: from where ? | 16:48 |
| Tyler | It downloads the huge updates in the background, while I can use the PS3 system like normal | 16:48 |
| ikonia | Tyler: where are you getting the games patches direct downloads from | 16:48 |
| Tyler | PSNDM is the name of the webcaching proxy available for Windows OSs | 16:49 |
| ikonia | Tyler: that is a propitary tool for windos | 16:50 |
| Tyler | No | 16:50 |
| onitaL | c: | 16:50 |
| Tyler | That is not developed by anyone belonging to Microsoft | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Tyler: I didn't say it was made by microsoft | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Tyler: I said it was a propitary tool for windows | 16:50 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: "proprietary" | 16:51 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: that too | 16:51 |
| IdleOne | you might try asking in #ps3linux | 16:51 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: yw | 16:51 |
| Tyler | Than yes, it's propriet | 16:51 |
| Tyler | *propreity | 16:51 |
| Tyler | *propreitary | 16:51 |
| IdleOne | we get it | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Tyler: if you look at what that does, it just downloads the file for you, then splits it, then feeds it to the PS3 | 16:51 |
| Tyler | Yes | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Tyler: there is no real benift to this in real world usage unless you have 10+ PS3's on the same network | 16:51 |
| Tyler | If it had no benefits, than I would not be here asking you for a similar setup for ubuntu | 16:52 |
| Tyler | If it had no benefits, the programmer that coded it would never have coded it for the masse | 16:52 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: what exactly are you trying to do here? | 16:52 |
| gordonjcp | speed up PS3 updates? | 16:53 |
| Tyler | Yes | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | they only take a few minutes anyway | 16:53 |
| Tyler | Let me go through the benefits | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | kick the download off and leave it until it's done | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | there are no benefits | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | just let it download | 16:54 |
| Tyler | 1. My ISP provides me with a slow internet, I can't afford to trust the network for uptimes | 16:54 |
| gordonjcp | so? | 16:54 |
| gordonjcp | it'll be just as slow downloading it onto a PC | 16:54 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: he can't grasp this fact | 16:54 |
| Tyler | I the network goes down during PS3 download, the PS3 system restarts downloading the file from the very beginning rather than resuming it | 16:55 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: if it takes 1 hour to download a 1GB file on the PS3, it will take 1 hour to download a 1GB file on the PC, then he has the hassle of setting up and running a proxy to serve it | 16:55 |
| Tyler | 2. PS3 uses 1/3 of the total bandwidth available | 16:55 |
| ikonia | Tyler: 2.) wrong | 16:55 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: no, it doesn't | 16:55 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: it resumes from where it left off | 16:55 |
| Tyler | Yes, it does | 16:55 |
| ikonia | Tyler: it uses %100 of my network | 16:55 |
| ikonia | Tyler: so your network must be setup wrong | 16:55 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: I can tell you it resumes from where it left off | 16:55 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: I've already told him this, he doesn't believe me | 16:55 |
| ikonia | hence why what he wants to do is pointless | 16:56 |
| ikonia | and on that note, I'll leave it alone | 16:56 |
| Tyler | I'm the one experiencing the speeds that PS3 downloads files with, you can't dispute this with "me" the one who experiences it as first-hand | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: is your PS3 hooked up over wireless? | 16:56 |
| Tyler | And what about the downtime issue I made you aware of? | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | what downtime issue? | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: if your internet connection is down, neither your PC or the PS3 will be able to download | 16:57 |
| Tyler | Don't you get it, if my internet gets disconnected while the PS3 is downloading a huge file, than there's no other way to resume the file from what already has been downloaded | 16:57 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: the PS3 resumes files if the download drops | 16:58 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: it's right there in the documentation | 16:58 |
| Tyler | If my internet connection is down, and if the file has already been cached on the proxy server, all I need is a 1kbops dialup internet connection to forward that file to the PS#, because local bandwidth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ISP bandwidth | 16:59 |
| Tyler | PS3 only resume game files, not game update files | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Tyler: if the file is alrady downloaded...you don't need to move the file | 16:59 |
| Tyler | *resumes | 16:59 |
| Tyler | Why are you | 16:59 |
| Tyler | *trying to argue with me? | 16:59 |
| gordonjcp | okay, never mind then | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Tyler: because you're wrong | 16:59 |
| Tyler | Nope | 17:00 |
| ikonia | Tyler: and people are trying to save you time/effort/pain | 17:00 |
| Tyler | I'm not | 17:00 |
| ikonia | Tyler: ok, good luck then | 17:00 |
| Tyler | Let's argue then, let's waste some time | 17:00 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: a bunch of people in here are PS3 developers | 17:00 |
| Tyler | It seems you've so much of it | 17:00 |
| Tyler | Sure then | 17:00 |
| Tyler | Let's argue | 17:00 |
| ikonia | lets not | 17:00 |
| gordonjcp | obviously they can't go into specifics because of non-disclosure agreements | 17:00 |
| Tyler | You're saying PS3 downloads files using the full bandwidth that is available from the ISP? | 17:01 |
| ikonia | Tyler: you've had "FACT" given to you, and you disagree, that's fine, so you have a choice of accepting it, or making a crazy technical solution you think is better | 17:01 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: mine does, but I'm only on about 5Mbps | 17:01 |
| Tyler | I'm saying, it's not the case | 17:01 |
| ikonia | Tyler: it's up to you what you do | 17:01 |
| Tyler | For me, atleast | 17:01 |
| ikonia | Tyler: that's why I said earlier - you may want to look at your network setup | 17:01 |
| Tyler | It just took me 5 days to download a game, had I downloaded it on my PC, it would've taken hardly a single day | 17:01 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: if your connection is that bad, I suggest you switch suppliers | 17:01 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: how is the PS3 connected to the network? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Tyler: as I'm on a 80mb conection, and it uses 75mb, and I ended up putting qos rules on my network for this and other devices | 17:02 |
| Tyler | I just have a single ISP available here | 17:02 |
| nhorning | need some help with grub here | 17:02 |
| Tyler | It's connected using WiFi | 17:02 |
| gordonjcp | aha | 17:03 |
| nhorning | Hi all I'm trying to use a USB drive to boot an ISO | 17:03 |
| gordonjcp | mine is *terrible* on wifi | 17:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Tyler so maybe it's wifi that drops, not the internet connection | 17:03 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: try hooking up an ethernet cable | 17:03 |
| Tyler | It's a G | 17:03 |
| IdleOne | well, there is your problem | 17:03 |
| Tyler | What can you expect :/ | 17:03 |
| nhorning | Ok, I'll type all at once | 17:03 |
| IdleOne | So, please drop this PS3 discussion as it has nothing to do with Ubuntu. Thank you. | 17:03 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: my PS3 is one of the earliest ones and has problems with most wifi access points | 17:03 |
| Tyler | I can't provide a NAT 1 to my PS3 | 17:03 |
| Tyler | I don't care about PS3, I care about the issue, @IdleOne | 17:04 |
| nhorning | The grub on my USB drive is booting from my main hard drive, I need to change grub on the USB drive so that it boots from the ISO on the USB. How do I do that? | 17:04 |
| nhorning | Can anyone help? | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Tyler: ok - here is your fix, download and setup squid proxy server | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Tyler: that's the proxy server you need to setup | 17:04 |
| Tyler | Best way to implement webcaching proxy on Ubuntu? | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Tyler: good luck | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Tyler: just told you | 17:04 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: the first thing you need to fix is your connection to the PS3 | 17:05 |
| Tyler | Okay | 17:05 |
| IdleOne | Tyler: The issue has nothing to do with Ubuntu. That is what I care about. This is an Ubuntu support channel, not a "help me fix my PS3 problem" channel. | 17:05 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: you *must* have wired ethernet | 17:05 |
| gordonjcp | Tyler: forget it even has wifi | 17:05 |
| nhorning | ikonia: can you help me with my grub problem? | 17:05 |
| ikonia | nhorning: not really no | 17:05 |
| gordonjcp | nhorning: how did you create the USB stick? | 17:05 |
| Tyler | Tell me, how do I need to setup it so that it forwards the update files, rather then requesting them from the internet? | 17:05 |
| ikonia | I'm returning to my Christmas shopping after wasting my time with Tyler | 17:05 |
| === eugene is now known as Guest58561 | ||
| nhorning | gordonjcp: instructions in pendrive linux | 17:05 |
| ikonia | Tyler: setup squid proxy, in the PS3 settings point at squid proxy as a proxy server | 17:06 |
| Tyler | If I could filter URLs that are needed to be server locally rather than requesting the remote server | 17:06 |
| nhorning | gordonjcp: but at some point I screwed up grub while I was working on a system | 17:06 |
| nhorning | gordonjcp: I think I updated it to think that it was sda or something | 17:06 |
| nhorning | gordonjcp: I really just want to remove it from the drive and reinstall it | 17:06 |
| nhorning | gordonjcp: from the USB that is | 17:07 |
| Tyler | ikonia, you presume your knowledge is correct without even thinking it thoroughly | 17:07 |
| nhorning | gordonjcp: need it to work tomorrow for a demo | 17:07 |
| Tyler | *presumed | 17:07 |
| ikonia | Tyler: I "know" my knowledge is correct, because I have thought it through, however you can ignore it if you disagree | 17:07 |
| Schrodinger`Cat | meow | 17:07 |
| Tyler | I didn't meant to ruin your Christmas | 17:07 |
| Tyler | Tell me then, how did you not know that PS3 can't resume update files? | 17:08 |
| ikonia | Tyler: I know it can because a.) I have a PS3 b.) it says it does it in the manual | 17:08 |
| Tyler | How did you not know PS3 downloads and installs, updates by going in a restricted mode? | 17:08 |
| nhorning | gordonjcp: any ideas gordonjcp? | 17:08 |
| ikonia | Tyler: we did not talk about restircted mode, I don't know why you have just made that statement after that was not disussed at all | 17:09 |
| Tyler | If you knew than you didn't use it, lol | 17:09 |
| Tyler | You should've known, that's the point | 17:09 |

| IdleOne | because I asked you nicely to stop this discussion and you refuse. | 17:11 |
| IdleOne | Now please take it elsewhere. | 17:11 |
| Tyler | It seems childish first you tried to investigate every bit of my need rather than providing me a solution to the exact need | 17:11 |
| Tyler | And than kicking me out because I'm making my points rather rationally? | 17:11 |

| evilbug | tjbiddle: good luck. | 17:40 |
| dracnoc | step1: ... that's a new one on me. changing the configuration would require several steps and i think you would have noticed it. | 17:40 |
| dracnoc | step1: are you sure you're not selecting/highlighting several emails at once? | 17:41 |
| step1 | no. I select a few mails one after the other, then press delete and they all disappear | 17:43 |
| dracnoc | step1: hmmm.... it's the only thing i can think of. in order for several emails to be deleted at the same time/pressing delete only once, then they would all have to be selected at the same time. | 17:44 |

| dracnoc | hiya | 18:16 |
| kostkon | monsoor, hi | 18:16 |
| monsoor | Hi, is this the right channel to ask help regarding virtualbox issues on ubuntu | 18:17 |
| benbb | What's your problem? | 18:18 |
| monsoor | I cant get the virtualbox started after installation | 18:18 |
| benbb | Any errors? | 18:18 |
| monsoor | it gives error message VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtOpenGL.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK14QWidgetPrivate17hasHeightForWidthEv | 18:18 |
| benbb | Huh. That's strange. | 18:19 |
| kostkon | monsoor, what version of ubuntu are you on | 18:19 |
| monsoor | Currently on 13.10. just upgrades | 18:19 |
| monsoor | just upgraded | 18:19 |
| monsoor | it was fine on 12.04 | 18:19 |
| benbb | Have you done a system update yet? | 18:19 |
| kostkon | monsoor, how did you install it | 18:20 |
| benbb | I once had Vbox issues and that seemed to sort things out. | 18:20 |
| monsoor | yes, its all current | 18:20 |
| benbb | Did you reboot when it asked you to? | 18:20 |
| benbb | (The ubuntu updater) | 18:20 |
| kostkon | monsoor, from the usc or from their repo? | 18:20 |
| monsoor | i installed using the sudo commands | 18:20 |
| dracnoc | monsoor: nvidia or ati card? | 18:21 |
| kostkon | monsoor, i would suggest cleaning your cache (sudo apt-get clean) and then reinstalling it | 18:21 |
| monsoor | i am new to linux. I dont understand usc or repo. Please | 18:21 |
| puff | dracnoc, glitsj16, oddly enough, software center history shows no changes between Oct 12 and Dec 1, but I remember a bunch of updates in november (and /var/log/apt/history1.log shows them). | 18:21 |
| benbb | You used sudo commands but don't understand? | 18:21 |
| benbb | You should just be using VirtualBox. | 18:21 |
| kostkon | monsoor, if you want the latest you can use their official repo or just grab the deb -> https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 18:21 |
| benbb | * Software Centre. | 18:22 |
| benbb | Try a deb from kostkon's link | 18:22 |
| monsoor | I will try the cleaning. just a min. Just for info , i purged earlier installations before the recent install. | 18:22 |
| kostkon | monsoor, how recent? | 18:22 |
| benbb | FYI: USC means Ubuntu Software Centre. | 18:22 |
| dracnoc | puff: ... i'm not sure what that means for your system. are you having a problem with a particular package? | 18:22 |
| monsoor | couple of days ago | 18:22 |
| kostkon | monsoor, hmm ok | 18:22 |
| glitsj16 | puff: i'm afraid i don't use the software center, but your logs do have them, go with that info i'd say | 18:23 |
| monsoor | can u please repeat the commands for the clean | 18:23 |
| puff | dracnoc: I'm trying to figure out what caused this problem that's spiking my xorg to 103% CPU usage (according to top). | 18:24 |
| dracnoc | puff: i agree with glitsj16. the history in the software center is useful, but the logs are the real thing. go with them. | 18:24 |

| dracnoc | i'm not sure how the nouveau drivers will behave on your system. you might want to consider switching over. | 18:28 |

| puff | jamiejackson: Don't do it man! | 18:32 |
| glitsj16 | edza101: you mean identifier like LVDS-0, HDMI-0 etc? if so xrandr can show that | 18:32 |
| jamiejackson | puff: don't do what? | 18:32 |
| MonkeyDust | jamiejackson my advice: wait until April, you'll have a new LTS ubuntu | 18:32 |
| edza101 | glitsj16: thanks alot | 18:32 |
| puff | jamiejackson: Just (semi) kidding. I upgraded to 13.04 and I'm still kinda sorry that I left LTS. | 18:32 |
| kostkon | jamiejackson, you will be able to upgrade directly to 14.04 in april | 18:32 |
| dracnoc | puff: damn. optimus doesn't have a good history with ubuntu nvidia drivers | 18:33 |

| jamiejackson | puff, MonkeyDust, kostkon : okay, i hear you. i'll wait, thanks. | 18:33 |

| edza101 | puff: saving up though :) | 18:36 |
| puff | edza101: Ah... okay. I highly, highly recommend t-series thinkpads. | 18:37 |
| puff | edza101: Corporations buy them in droves, then replace them when they're 3-4 years old. But being a thinkpad T series (the T stands for Transportable, but it might as well stand for Tough) they are in far better shape than most 3-4 year old laptops. | 18:37 |
| Guest27584 | I've got Nvidia GeForce 310M | 18:37 |
| puff | Hmmmm: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Latest-Nvidia-Drivers-in-Ubuntu-13-04-350497.shtml | 18:38 |
| Calinou | 310M is not optimus, I think | 18:38 |
| Guest27584 | No its not dont think Nvidia are really supporting 310M | 18:38 |
| puff | Optimus on the thinkpad is a pain, though. | 18:38 |
| Calinou | they are | 18:38 |
| Calinou | but the 310M is a really low end and old card, and a rebranded one, and a mobile one... | 18:39 |
| edza101 | Calinou: Im sure all m series cards are optimus | 18:39 |
| puff | They did werid things to the video hardware. | 18:39 |
| Calinou | edza101, no not at all | 18:39 |
| Calinou | for instance, 8400M or 9600M are not optimus | 18:39 |
| Calinou | I think optimus starts with fermi cards... (400M) | 18:39 |
| === |Jurgen| is now known as |Jurgen|-afk | ||
| Calinou | puff, optimus implementations are generally the same around laptops these days | 18:40 |
| edza101 | Calinou: thats odd, I seem to remeber getting an old 380m | 18:40 |
| edza101 | and it was optimus | 18:40 |
| Calinou | 380M? | 18:40 |
| Calinou | very unlikely to see | 18:40 |
| Calinou | "300" series was a series of rebrand, usually for low end market | 18:41 |
| Calinou | I doubt there was anything mid or high end | 18:41 |
| glitsj16 | Guest27584: 310M is very well support by the nvidia driver in the regular repo's, girlfriend's laptop has one, works fine | 18:41 |
| edza101 | Calinou: it was from an old school recycle | 18:41 |
| puff | Calinou: That's good to hear, but a year or two ago, if you set the BIOS setting to purely the onboard intel chipset, it cut the external video port completely out of the loop. | 18:42 |
| Calinou | edza101, I doubt a school laptop would have a high end card | 18:42 |
| Guest27584 | ahh ok thats good guess I just have to find the right driver version | 18:42 |
| glitsj16 | Guest27584: what version of ubuntu are you using this card on? | 18:42 |
| Guest27584 | I am currently using 13.10 | 18:43 |
| Guest27584 | 304 works but is limited and 319 doesnt work at all | 18:43 |
| puff | Hm.... "Know that The Nvidia card is not compatible with Unity 3D. The Intel HD 3000 is. That >means that if you're using Unity 3D now, it's the Intel card which is in use.

| Guest27584 | but I know there are more versions out there and I'm in the process of finding the right one | 18:43 |

| glitsj16 | Guest27584: i always do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade before adding a PPA, but that's not necessary i believe, old habit .. after that run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates to get the new package info onto your system, run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get update again | 18:55 |
| Guest27584 | run the update process twice? | 18:56 |

| geirha | the last "update" was probably meant to be "upgrade" | 18:56 |
| glitsj16 | Guest27584: i use it as a precaution just in case you later decide to purge the PPA without getting into dependency hell | 18:56 |
| Guest27584 | ahh ok | 18:57 |
| glitsj16 | geirha: correct, thx for that :) | 18:57 |
| Guest27584 | I did sudo apt-get upgrade and its revealed an update to nvidia-settings but no other driver versions | 18:57 |
| glitsj16 | Guest27584: sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 in that case | 18:58 |

| stanley | stanley | 19:00 |
| glitsj16 | Guest27584: just fyi, you refered to the Nvidia-Linux-...run, that's the binary driver for a manual install, the repository way is simpler these days | 19:01 |
| imghost | puff, by default kernel is not loading your nvidia, you have to enable switch for that you need to take help of a 3rd party app called bumblebee | 19:01 |
| puff | imghost: I'm thinking of trying out the vanilla in-repo nvidia drivers first. | 19:02 |
| Guest27584 | Yes the repos certaintly speed up the upgrading without too much fiddling around. Its just finding the right repos | 19:02 |

| puff | imghost: I'm reluctant, because the last time I tried it, several months ago, my install got all kinds of messed up. | 19:04 |
| glitsj16 | Guest27584: allthough not officially supported here, because it's a PPA, i think the ubuntu-x team responsible for that particular PPA can be trusted, they mark it as stable themselves, never encountered anything odd with in 3+ years .. goodluck :) | 19:04 |
| puff | imghost: But okay, I'm installnig some updates now, when they complete I'll give bumblebee another shot. | 19:05 |

| imghost | puff, no comments, before seeing the outputs its useless to say | 19:06 |
| glitsj16 | Guest27584: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings-331 and you should be good to go | 19:07 |
| Guest27584 | thats great thank you | 19:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | puff, 13.10 has bumblebee in the standard repositories | 19:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It should be as easy as apt-get purge bumblebee if there's an issue | 19:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Did miracles for me, also you can use vgaswitcharoo if it's supported by your system to stop your discrete video card | 19:07 |

| puff | One of the things that bugs me the most about Unity is the way alt-tab works, is there a way to switch that back to the old style, where alt-tab just showed you all the windows instead of grouping them? | 19:15 |
| Guest43695 | Well I'm back from installing the driver. Had to reboot twice for it too work | 19:16 |

| glitsj16 | Guest43695: and, any first attempts? i recall having that too yes, no idea why, i just did a new dkms build to make sure and then it kicked in (but i encounter glitches all the time in life lol, hence the nick) | 19:19 |
| ceciliasp | <imhost> no. I can only see the grub> | 19:19 |
| glitsj16 | Guest43695: have you tried the nvidia-settings to see if you can improve those yet? | 19:20 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, ok use cd to boot and then use boot-reoair to reinstall grub | 19:20 |
| Guest43695 | yes i'm looking at them this minute the settings offer more options that the older veresion | 19:20 |
| imghost | boot-repair | 19:20 |
| Guest43695 | so hopefully after a reboot these glitches will have passed | 19:20 |
| dveim | Hello | 19:20 |
| ceciliasp | <imghost> in that same screen? (sorry, I´m a rookie in this) | 19:21 |
| Guest43695 | and I shall try now lol | 19:21 |
| ceciliasp | I don´t have a cd reader... just a usb stick which is not working either | 19:21 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, ok so you have bootable usb right? | 19:22 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, insert it then under biod select usb to boot | 19:22 |
| xubuntu188 | what is the path of the default desktop wallpaper | 19:22 |
| imghost | under bios | 19:22 |
| ceciliasp | imghost, yes but it´s not working. I can boot with the usb but then when I select Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu nothing happens.... just a black screen | 19:23 |
| onetinsoldier | xubuntu188: not certain, but probably /usr/share/wallpapers | 19:23 |
| dveim | i have installed ubuntu 13.10 on new laptop with nvidia | 19:23 |
| dveim | when i log in, everything is ok | 19:23 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, redownload it then | 19:24 |
| ceciliasp | imghost, ok I´m doing it right now. 12.04 64bits | 19:24 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, download only from ubuntu.com | 19:24 |
| dveim | but after i presses password, graphics disappears and and only alone mouse is on the display | 19:24 |
| ceciliasp | imghost, Is there any other way to boot at least to windows? | 19:24 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, after download use unetbootin to make a live usb | 19:25 |
| xubuntu188 | there is no wallpapers on usr/share onetinsoldier | 19:25 |
| dveim | also, i think it is linked, the screen size is unnormally small | 19:25 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, yes you can insert the windows installer | 19:25 |
| dveim | what can you advise? | 19:25 |
| ceciliasp | imghost, i´ll look for unetbooting | 19:25 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, then repair the computer | 19:25 |
| onetinsoldier | xubuntu188: i don't know then | 19:26 |
| kevin_ | Still having issues with Compiz on this I think is the problem | 19:26 |
| ceciliasp | imghost, unfortunatelly i don´t have windows installer. it´s a brand new laptop with no cd or usb file. i know there is a recovery partition though | 19:26 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, two way either download ubuntu again or if you have windows installer, point is we need to repair the computer thats all | 19:26 |
| dveim | hey, does someone have any ideas what should i do? | 19:27 |
| kevin_ | There is without a doubt Image Qualit loss when zooming out into Expo - or Desktop Wall | 19:27 |
| juki | devim, you'll have to fill me in a little bit | 19:27 |
| onetinsoldier | xubuntu188: do you have the following package installed? --> ubuntu-wallpapers | 19:27 |
| kevin_ | a blurriness that isnt there when using Nouveau | 19:27 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, why no backups? | 19:27 |
| dveim | juki: yes | 19:27 |
| xubuntu188 | onetinsoldier: no | 19:28 |
| dveim | juki: i ll answer any questions | 19:28 |
| juki | I see you only have a blank desktop with only a cursor? | 19:28 |
| ceciliasp | imghost, sorry what do u mean with no backups? all my sensitive information is in a different partition | 19:28 |
| dveim | juki: yes | 19:28 |
| juki | when did it work last? | 19:28 |
| onetinsoldier | xubuntu188: i'm not sure where the default background wallpaper is at, probably not from that package either though. i'm trying to find it | 19:28 |
| imghost | ceciliasp, i mean why no recovery disks? | 19:29 |
| dveim | juki: on logging dialog | 19:29 |
| dveim | juki: when it asked to enter password | 19:29 |
| onetinsoldier | xubuntu188: do you have images in /usr/share/backgrounds ...? | 19:29 |
| juki | is this a new install? has it ever worked on this machine? | 19:29 |
| kevin_ | and Nautilus goes blank when un-minimising | 19:29 |

| jhutchins | ceciliasp: It's always a good idea to have backups on a seperate device. Errors in partitioning could wipe out your data if it's on the same device. | 19:31 |
| ceciliasp_ | imghost, gess so.. | 19:31 |
| dveim | juki: i mean, after rebooting the problem appeared) | 19:31 |
| kevin_ | Yes its me 331 driver guy | 19:31 |
| juki | ok, do you know specifically what nvidia drivers you downloaded? 177 maybe? do you know how to uninstall them? | 19:31 |
| imghost | jhutchins, exactly backups on physical device always helps us | 19:32 |
| dveim | juki: afaik i pressed apt-get install nvidia-drivers | 19:32 |

| dveim | imghost: after entering password in login dialog, all disappeares except mouse. Probably it is linked with nvidia drivers, because this problem started after i downloaded them and rebooted | 19:37 |
| Myrtti | imghost: a bit late for that | 19:37 |
| jhutchins | ceciliasp_: Something to consider is that typically a recovery partition will destroy any other OS installed on that disk and return it to factory status. | 19:37 |

| glitsj16 | ActionParsnip: ccsm works without issues for me, granted that you're carefull with the Unity settings in there, and exporting your settings before fiddling around .. so intrader, that way be a wise idea before making changes in ccsm: go to the preferences and export your present settings before fiddling .. for placement of windows you should be safe according to me | 19:54 |

| intrader | glitsj16, ActionParsnip: my laptop is fairly fast but runs hot when using video - I am afraid of compiz... | 19:57 |
| Beldar | ceciliasp_ what partitions are mounted? | 19:57 |
| juki | maybe try booting with the nomodeset option dveim? | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Intrader: i hate compiz | 19:58 |
| kermyt | yep gst-plugin-scanner gets left running when FF zombies. | 19:58 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: you can use devilspie and gdevilspie (a GUI for that) to set your window positioning instead of via ccsm | 19:58 |
| kermyt | and it's sucking up about half of my CPU | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Intrader: if you use optimus then make sure you have bumblebee installed | 19:58 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: i just mentioned ccsm because that's already installed and devilspie might be overkill for 1 rule, but it works | 19:59 |

| ceciliasp_ | imghost how can i get that output | 20:00 |
| juki | you don't need a whole reinstall dveim, you just need to get the correct display drivers in there I think | 20:00 |
| geekstay | ActionParnsip : It's compatible with Adobe acrobat ? | 20:00 |

| kermyt | wait the problem just went away for some reason | 20:01 |
| juki | i think you hit "b" or "e" when the grub menu appears and add the "nomodeset" option to the boot string. it should start it in a safe mode that will let you get to your wifi and grab the correct drivers | 20:01 |

| ActionParsnip | Intrader: i prefer openbox. It doesnt crash nearly as much | 20:03 |
| imghost | ceciliasp_, The column headed "Mounted On" will have a "/" | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | glitsj16: unity isnt a DE. It is a shell. You can run Unity on top of any DE you want | 20:03 |
| intrader | glitsj16, ActionParsnip: in general I like the launcher; although it does not work properly to set up a new application; for example to install freemind on the launcher I could not do it and wound up with an icon on the desktop. | 20:03 |

After installation, Windows started again as if GRUB2 wasn't installed. To correct this I used Yannubuntu's boot-repair, first recommended settings, rename Windows, partitions, which yielded this log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6570083/ Afterwards I chose the recommend settings with renaming the Windows partitions. | 20:11 |
| Meris | That yielded this log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6570132. At that point Windows 8.1 didn't boot anymore, but I got no grub and no ubuntu After that I restored the original efi partitions that were backed in attempt 1, which yielded: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6574110. I tried libata.force=noncq as suggested by http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2192179&highlight=sony+vaio+pro but even that won't help showing grub, let alone booting | 20:11 |

| intrader | glitsj16, psensor show 100C for either cpu - pretty hot | 20:16 |

| intrader | glitsj16, and just to nail unity more, on windows XP I don't experience the overheating - it must be the driver for the nvidia | 20:19 |
| ceciliasp_ | anyone can give me a hand with this boot info http://paste.ubuntu.com/6574355 | 20:19 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: you can look at using gecko-mediaplayer (firefox and chrome multimedia plugin) and gnome-mplayer for instance if you want to try youtube from a native player instead of flash | 20:19 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: could very well be yes | 20:19 |
| glitsj16 | kevin_: ^^ gecko-media-player and mplayer in general has great VDPAU support | 20:20 |

| dveim | juki: thanks a lot for help! Is it another DE? | 20:55 |
| unknwn_ | well the drivers that i get from ubuntu are all somehow screwed | 20:55 |
| unknwn_ | gl isn't working at all | 20:55 |
| onetinsoldier | unknwn_: "doesn't work", and "scewed" iare pretty vague | 20:55 |
| onetinsoldier | screwed* | 20:55 |
| unknwn_ | can't find the ql drivers | 20:55 |

| SchrodingersScat | Alpha_Omega: apt-cache search irssi ? it's in my main, so shouldn't need to add repos.. | 20:56 |
| unknwn_ | for some reason | 20:56 |
| matzzz | So does anyone know how to fix my SLI problem? When 2nd card is inserted, machine reboots after ubuntu splash screen. With only one card, it's all fine. | 20:56 |
| juki | it's not a desktop, it's a window manager... maybe now you can get to restricted drivers manager and clear up the nvidia thing | 20:56 |
| jhutchins | Alpha_Omega: You do have a valid network connection, right? | 20:56 |
| === LinoSP_ is now known as LinoSP | ||
| onetinsoldier | unknwn_: after installing the drivers, you need to run the following command, and then reboot --> sudo aticonfig --initial | 20:56 |
| === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon | ||
| juki | dveim: ^^ | 20:57 |
| Alpha_Omega | yeah, my google ping worked | 20:57 |
| unknwn_ | ok gonna try that thanks onetinsoldier | 20:57 |
| madprops | hi | 20:57 |
| onetinsoldier | unknwn_: you're welcome.. good luck | 20:57 |
| madprops | can someone tell me the name of the network manager that ships with ubuntu? is networkmanager still mantained? | 20:57 |
| Jdar3 | I'm having problems installing on my windows 8 laptop, the disc or usb installer loads the GRUB menu, but no selections work (install,verify,etc) it just blanks the screen | 20:57 |

| intrader | glitsj16, no configuration for indicator-sensors - how do I uninstall? | 20:59 |

| matzzz | koell: it's the standard file manager in lubuntu, whch i used for a year | 21:00 |
| jhutchins | Alpha_Omega: does sudo apt-get update work? | 21:00 |
| koell | im using in currently in lubuntu but cant delete files via smb on my ubuntu server. not tried thunar and everything works fine. but i would like to stay on pcmanfm :( | 21:00 |
| Beldar | Meris, Did you resize windows from the ubuntu install? | 21:01 |
| Meris | Beldar, no I resized using the native disk manager from within Windows | 21:01 |
| Meris | Beldar, by the way, it's Ubuntu 13.10 64 bits | 21:02 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: I wonder since you mention Optimus cards. My missus got 12.04 running on her Samsung laptop that has Optimus. Should I be worried when installing 13.10 64-bit for her? She is not playing though. | 21:02 |
| matzzz | koell: OK i can confirm pcman does have that functionality, so your problem is one of fixig a configuration and not changing an FM | 21:02 |
| ikonia | DrGrov: depends what you mean by worried and how you are using the card | 21:02 |
| matzzz | koell: How are you connecting to the windows share? | 21:02 |
| koell | matzzz: so u can delete files via smb in pcmanfm? | 21:02 |
| ikonia | koell: that has nothing to do with the file manager | 21:03 |
| ikonia | koell: samba is totally seperate, a samba file system is just a disk mounted to a file manager | 21:03 |
| matzzz | koell: it should not depend on the file manager, how are you mounting or connecting? | 21:03 |
| koell | matzzz: i installed ubuntu server 32 bit 12.04 on my old netbook. now accessing via pcmanfm try to delete a file there but no context menu. with thunar it works | 21:03 |

| Beldar | Meris, is MokManager.efi a 3rd party? | 21:04 |
| koell | ikonia: it hast to do with it, in thunar it works. | 21:04 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: She is mainly doing surfing on the web, LibreOffice stuff and not much more. Worried if the card is "too old" to work properly in 13.10. | 21:04 |

| Meris | n0ob, actually unix is a family of OS'es | 21:05 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Okay, that I could have phrased better :) I meant unsupported due to the fact it is an Optimus card. | 21:05 |

| glitsj16 | intrader: back .. i installed it just now, works ok here .. i pulled the .deb from the PPA and went through the preferences ... does it not start for you? | 21:06 |
| spsful | Does anyone know how to search directly for specific words or letters in a webpage? | 21:06 |
| koell | herpderphurr: i3 | 21:06 |
| Beldar | spsful, ctrl-f | 21:06 |
| spsful | Thanks | 21:06 |
| ikonia | spsful: the "find" function in the browser ? | 21:06 |
| matzzz | koell: there is no reason i can think of why it shouldnt work, if you are connecting the same way with the same credentials | 21:07 |
| koell | matzzz: yeah thats the weird thing. ROFL | 21:07 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: Okay, that is good. 12.04 works well but she is complaining when looking at my 13.10 install and how I have it set up. She wants the same :) | 21:07 |
| Starvisitor | Hello im trying to install a more recent ati linux driver. Are the drivers in the Ubuntu PPA more recent then the default ones provided? | 21:07 |
| ikonia | Starvisitor: depends on the PPA - there are many PPA's | 21:07 |
| DrGrov | ikonia: But I will install 13.04 for her anyhow. I want to have a nice non-update cycle again for a year or two :) | 21:07 |
| herpderphurr | koell: Thanks. I'll try it out | 21:08 |
| spsful | quit | 21:08 |
| Beldar | Meris, I see this at the end of the script, might be relevant. Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda3/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file! | 21:08 |
| spsful | sorry | 21:08 |
| matzzz | koell: are you sure the username/password/ipaddress etc is the same, and have you double checked the server permissions? | 21:08 |
| Starvisitor | ikonia, the launchpad PPA https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/fglrx-installer-updates | 21:08 |
| ikonia | Starvisitor: check the package versions | 21:08 |
| koell | matzzz: i may try it tomorrow again, late here :) | 21:08 |
| Starvisitor | ikonia, the package version does no coincide with the ati driver version so its a bit confusing | 21:09 |
| koell | matzzz: but many thanks for ur help! | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Starvisitor: not really, the package versions such match either a) the ati packages b.) the open driver packages c.) the ubuntu versions | 21:09 |
| juki | maybe you need the nouveau driver dveim | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Starvisitor: there should also be information on the PPA's web page showing what they contain, if not contact the PPA maintainer and ask for clarification | 21:09 |
| Starvisitor | ikonia, thank you very much I thought it would be alot more simple. =P | 21:10 |
| unknwn | yeah onetinsoldier unfortunatly no success :( | 21:11 |
| dveim | juki: is default nvidia bad? | 21:11 |
| juki | using e17 is a workaround, but you should get your gdm working i think | 21:12 |
| Meris | Beldar, yes I have noticed, but I cannot find any option within my BIOS that looks even remotely like it would set that /sda3/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file to be bootable. I'm not sure how to proceed. I wonder, should I just install grub2 to the root partition of my ubuntu install and chainload it from the Windows boot manager? | 21:12 |
| dveim | juki: btw, in e17 screen size is too small, like was in unity =( | 21:12 |
| juki | meris fdisk /dev/sda | 21:12 |
| onetinsoldier | unknwn: no? hmmm. what do you get from the following command? --> grep card0 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 21:12 |
| juki | but maybe isn't the video driver, if you're currently using a gui dveim | 21:13 |
| Beldar | Meris, I would use that thread, it is the bootrepair developer, and several others focused on these dualboots, don't do anything you are not sure of. | 21:13 |
| unknwn | onetinsoldier i get this | 21:13 |

| madprops | ikonia jhutchins do you know how i can fire app network manager, i just installed it manually using dpkg -i but networkmanager or network-manager are not working | 21:14 |
| Starvisitor | how can I tell if im running the 64bit version of ubuntu? | 21:14 |
| Meris | juki, you want me to pastebin the output of fdisk /dev/sda? Beldar, yes I did a backup of Windows | 21:14 |
| dveim | juki: in unity, i played with possible screen resolutions, and noone was ok | 21:14 |
| ikonia | madprops: it's installed by default, why are you installing it yourself | 21:14 |
| madprops | ikonia: long story | 21:14 |
| ikonia | madprops: why are you not using the repo and using dpkg | 21:14 |
| Meris | juki, I ḿ restarting to the Ubuntu Live env. now, just a sec. | 21:14 |
| jhutchins | madprops: There are two components, the service and an applet in the destop. It should be set up to start at boot and should actually be started when installed. | 21:14 |
| madprops | i have no internet | 21:15 |
| IdleOne | Starvisitor: in terminal type: uname -a -- if you see X_64 in the output you are running 64 bit ubuntu | 21:15 |
| jhutchins | madprops: ps ax | grep net | 21:15 |
| onetinsoldier | unknwn: you'll need to use a paste website, or /msg me | 21:15 |
| jhutchins | madprops: Sudo of course. | 21:15 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: feel free to pm me, i'm in & out of the kitchen though .. cravings heh | 21:15 |
| madprops | jhutchins: it says something about netns | 21:15 |
| Starvisitor | IdleOne, x86_64 is that the same as 64bit? | 21:16 |
| IdleOne | Starvisitor: that is right | 21:16 |
| Starvisitor | IdleOne, tyvm | 21:16 |
| juki | Meris: i don't think bios is responsible for setting bootable flags, you can mark a partition bootable using fdisk | 21:16 |
| IdleOne | sure thing | 21:16 |
| madprops | jhutchins: what is the name of the applet? | 21:16 |
| jhutchins | madprops: How about service network-manager start? | 21:16 |
| madprops | jhutchins: service already running | 21:17 |
| Meris | juki, it is a gpt partitioning scheme, so fdisk won't work here, here's the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda: /dev/sda1 1 500118191 250059095+ ee GPT | 21:17 |
| madprops | i have wicd but it is not connecting to my router for some reason | 21:17 |
| jhutchins | madprops: You can't have both wicd and network-manager. | 21:18 |
| Meris | juki, I can use gparted instead, which will show me the rest of the partitions within the gpt. | 21:18 |
| juki | meris, fdisk will work | 21:19 |
| juki | you can change partition boot flags from fdisk | 21:20 |
| madprops | jhutchins: ok i stopped wicd | 21:20 |
| Meris | juki, apart from the output I've just shown you, it doesn't seem to show anything, it even recommends you to use gparted instead | 21:20 |
| juki | but you may not need to for what you're having issues with | 21:20 |

| Random832 | I have two audio devices that use the same module, and I can't figure out how to force one of them to be the first sound card in alsa | 21:47 |
| Random832 | has anyone else had this problem? | 21:47 |
| martin__ | . | 21:47 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: with those temps you're experiencing for so long now, perhaps it's wise to start a ubuntu forum and a nvidia forum thread (https://forums.geforce.com/ .. they'll probably have much better sensoring details for you than i do) | 21:48 |
| Nidalee | Wat | 21:51 |
| Nidalee | How doI "You will need to manually mount the hard drives, then you can edit the file causing the issue"? | 21:51 |
| intrader | glitsj16, good advice. I have just installed lm-sensors and run into the phrase 'Some south bridges...contain embedded sensors' ... | 21:51 |
| kevin_ | Are there any Laptop power saving configurations/apps etc for Ubuntu 13.10? | 21:52 |
| rootpt | yep | 21:52 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: the ubuntu help documentation states you should answer yes to all yes/no questions, i'd go for that | 21:53 |
| intrader | glitsj16, notice that there is nothing in /etc/modules. It wants me to add coretemp | 21:56 |
| rootpt | kevin_ http://www.noobslab.com/2013/07/how-to-improve-laptop-power-management.html | 21:56 |
| kevin_ | thnx rootpt | 21:56 |
| rootpt | u're welcome | 21:56 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: that's lm-sensors regular behavior, accept and proceed | 21:56 |
| intrader | glitsj16, it appears that there is nothing for nvidia | 21:57 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: not straight off no, but the indicator-sensors needs lm-sensors info, at least that's how i see it, otherwise it won't offer you sensors to configure .. and for my nvidia gpu i didn't have to add anything else | 21:58 |
| intrader | glitsj16, I'll add coretemp to /etc/modules while in sudo | 21:59 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: sure, as long as it gets loaded you'd be fine | 22:00 |
| honestemu | Anyone here have experience using Pidgin as their IM client for Facebook? | 22:03 |

| honestemu | Anyone here have experience using Pidgin as their IM client for Facebook? | 22:05 |
| martin__ | nope | 22:05 |
| intrader | glitsj16, I'll add coretemp and probably get in trouble on restart won't I | 22:05 |
| honestemu | Can someone help me get Pidgin to work with group messages in Facebook? | 22:06 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: why? it's quite a reliable kernel module used by many .. | 22:06 |
| intrader | glitsj16, so it will find coretemp upon reboot? | 22:08 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest21399 | ||
| intrader | glitsj16, I am being paranoid? | 22:09 |
| soylentbomb | honestemu: To my knowledge, facebook group chats were never implemented in XMPP, so they won't work in pidgin. | 22:09 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: correct, but rebooting isn't needed, run sudo service module-init-tools restart | 22:09 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: these days i'd prefer paranoid over foolishness anytime, but that's only my opinion :) | 22:10 |
| cGull | I'm using 12.04 on a usb stick, system worked ok until i added a 2nd gpu (another 7990) now it won't boot. I've tried to verify the filesystem through grub2, it finds 4 bad files and wants to reboot, but that does nothing. I get these errors "ext2-fs (loop1): ext2_lookup: deleted inode refrenced: xxxx" until the system halts and nothing more happe | 22:11 |
| cGull | ns. Can i fix this or do i have to load up the usb with a new iso? (Removing the 2nd GPU didn't help either) | 22:11 |
| hays | Hey, how do I get to a terminal login shell with ubuntu? X is broken so I need to get in that way | 22:11 |
| zykotick9 | !text | hays | 22:11 |
| ubottu | hays: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 22:11 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: and double-checking, asking for clarification etc, part of IRC when it comes to technical support no, i don't take any of your questions as hostile or whatever, to the contrary, better safe .. etc | 22:11 |
| intrader | glitsj16, thanks, if I issue `sudo locate coretempt` it lists a bunch of stuff | 22:12 |
| intrader | glitsj16, thanks, if I issue `sudo locate coretemp` it lists a bunch of stuff | 22:12 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: sure, that's what locate does, it looks through your filesystem, use lsmod | grep coretemp to see if it's loaded | 22:13 |
| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| glitsj16 | intrader: you don't need sudo for locate, only to update it's database (sudo updatedb) | 22:14 |
| intrader | glitsj16, it displays coretemp in a red letters - is it loaded? | 22:15 |
| hays | zykotick9: there was a time when you could hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 and get this | 22:15 |
| === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers | ||
| zykotick9 | hays: you still can?! | 22:16 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: yes it is, the color is a default for grep i believe, nothing to do with your overheating heh | 22:16 |
| hays | zykotick9: not on my system | 22:16 |
| === Neozonz|Disc is now known as Neozonz | ||
| zykotick9 | hays: then try booting to text, with above instructions. but sounds like you have more then just xorg broken. | 22:16 |
| intrader | glitsj16, cute - why on earth red? | 22:17 |
| hays | yeah i tried to add that and it didn't work | 22:17 |
| hays | and the link doesn't contain the information it says it does | 22:17 |
| hays | let me try it again a different way | 22:17 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: developer humor ? don't know :) | 22:17 |
| intrader | glitsj16, I will let it update /etc/modules and reboot -- see you in a while | 22:17 |
| zykotick9 | hays: e to edit the grub line, add text then (i think) ctrl-x to boot | 22:17 |
| Scip | hey, does anyone know how I can suspend ubuntu running from a USB HDD? | 22:17 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: okay, i'll go for another kitchen raid | 22:18 |
| Scip | I was thinking I might need to have the USB power persist or something like that | 22:18 |
| honestemu | Can someone help me get Pidgin to work with group messages in Facebook? | 22:18 |
| honestemu | I have normal messages working, but I don't receive group messages. | 22:19 |
| hays | zykotick9: yeah i get that. but there is no sensible place to add "text". The grub options have things like load_video=true, etc... text doesn't appear to be a valid option | 22:19 |
| zykotick9 | hays: sorry, i have no further suggestions. best of luck. | 22:20 |
| soylentbomb | honestemu: Again, group messages aren't part of the interface that facebook provides for chat clients, so there's no way to get them to work on pidgin. | 22:22 |
| honestemu | soylentbomb: Oh gotcha. You already said that? Must have missed it. Sorry. | 22:23 |
| honestemu | soylentbomb: Thanks for the help, though! | 22:23 |
| soylentbomb | honestemu: It's okay, things get buried in the join/parts. You can always help us nag facebook about it. | 22:23 |
| hays | zykotick9: thanks! | 22:24 |
| honestemu | soylentbomb: Also, is there another chat client that provides facebook group messages besides pidgin? | 22:24 |
| soylentbomb | honestemu: Not that I'm aware of, since facebook doesn't provide that capability to third-party clients. | 22:26 |

| ActionParsnip | Ikonia: but they will be familiar with packaging, no? | 22:32 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: that's not what that channel is there for, | 22:33 |
| ikonia | #ubuntu-packaging and #ubuntu-motu would be a better plac | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Ikonia: ok, but the hguys will be proficient with packaging wont they? | 22:33 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: not always, a lot of the developers won't package | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Ikonia: ok cool. Thats why i sugested it. There is method in my madness | 22:34 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: the guy in #ubuntu-dev writing glibc patches will probably have no idea how to build a deb package as thats not his job | 22:35 |

| Tex_Nick | a firefox problem, i'll ask in #firefox ? | 22:52 |
| Blunder | ActionParsnip: And just generally change settings and config the machine - kind of just doing everything. | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Blunder: you can run updates using apt-get in a terminal. Youan check web pages are up by connecting to it from the windows pc. | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Blunder: all can be done over ssh, much faster | 22:53 |
| Blunder | ActionParsnip: Of course, but i'd like to be able to remote into the desktop. | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Blunder: plus if you port forward port 22 on the router you can manage it from outside your own network, and securely | 22:54 |

| dondopa | wtf betong? | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Blunder: not something I use but i recommend you switch to ssh, its much more efficient for your requirements. You can connect using PuTTY from Windows | 22:58 |
