cGullI'm trying to boot 13.10 from a usb stick, once the "Ubuntu USB boot menu" pops up, nothing there works, Install/Persistent/Safe-mode/File-system-check all do nothing. I want a persistant environment (ISO burnt with 4Gb for that purpose) but i can't get it to work, any tips?00:22
NidaleeHi00:28
onetinsoldierhowdy00:28
NidaleeWriting a backup.sh file, however I'd like to write a .log file of teh time and date the backup was created00:29
NidaleeHow can I do this?00:29
Stanley00cGull: did you checksum the iso before write to usb?00:29
Stanley00Nidalee: you can use the date command, but I think you should ask this in #bash00:30
Nidaleethat channel is kinda dead atm :/00:35
NidaleeWould cd to/backup/directory echo "THIS IS STUFF FOR THE FILE" >> backup.log work?00:36
deezedNidalee: yes it works, but I dont think its what you want00:37
Nidaleedeezed: Well, I also would need the time and date, but is there  something else I'm missing?00:38
deezedNidalee: maybe it will replace your file or create another one. I`m not sure, but there is another command to add it as last line.00:39

koellwhere  can i find unmounted devices in the file system? is there a location for?00:44
Pessimistkoell, that's not how it works in gnu/linux. If you want to get a nice list of file systems and mount locations use: df -h00:45
onetinsoldierPessimist: doesn't that show only mounted filesystems?00:46
koellPessimist: so i can't access them before i mount`? i would like to use a console based file manager like ranger or mc00:46
Pessimistonetinsoldier, yep, probably. I think lsblk shows all file systems00:47
onetinsoldierPessimist: roger that00:47
onetinsoldierkoell: is this for disk devices only?00:48
onetinsoldierPessimist: yea, that lsblk seems to work pretty nicely to show 'em00:49
koellonetinsoldier: hdd's, usb-sticks00:49
onetinsoldierkoell: the command Pessimist gave seems pretty nice00:50
koellonetinsoldier: yeah many thanks :)00:50
koellonetinsoldier: im still happy to learn about linux (even on lubuntu)00:50
Pessimistkoell, I don't think you can modify files inside a file system without mounting it, only partitions and the partition table. I was trying to find some kind of document about this but can't find anything00:50
koellPessimist: i just tried to get rid of my sidebar in thunar and work more with the folders itself (instead of the bookmarks in the sidebar)00:51
Pessimistkoell, you mean directories =) mount/umount are the commands for mounting and unmounting btw. I suggest you read the manual00:53
koellPessimist: sure :D00:53
koellPessimist: whats ur fm of choice?00:55
Pessimistkoell, pcmanfm which comes with lxde. I have a crappy pc00:56

sanderHow do I remove a apt mirror comleately?01:02
sanderand uninstall all programs from it.01:03
cGullStanley00: Sorry for the delay in a reply, i've been trying things out. No i didn't do any checksums before writing the iso. I tried this with 12.04 yesterday and it was just the same, i went at it for hours and suddenly i got into a persistant environment but today it stopped working and i couldn't fix it, so now i'm trying 13.10 on a newly format01:08

zykotick9sander: "apt mirror"? do you mean a PPA?01:11
sanderzykotick9, yes.01:12

ubottusander: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html01:12

perlite11Hi, I have a new Dell Inspiron 15 i15RV-852BLk laptop running Linux Mint, and everything except the wireless works.  The wireless card shows up in lshw output as a "QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter" from "Qualcomm Atheros". Anyone have any tips on getting it working?01:21
sanderzykotick9, its just a normal ppa with a file named dropbox.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d01:22
perlite11... Linux Mint 16 to be exact01:22
koellperlite11: i've read some raspberry pi tutorials about downloading and compiling your own drivers for wlan card. but never done before :D01:24
deezedperlite11: you know what? recently I installed linux mint 15 olivia on my mom's notebook, and got the same error. I just reinstalled it, (with the same .iso, btw) and it works now01:24
onetinsoldiergremlins01:25
glitsj16sander: look inside that file for the exact content, take out the 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/' part and everything from /ubuntu ... what's left in the middle is what you need to feed to the sudo ppa-purge ppa: command01:25
deezedperlite11: anyway, probably the better channel to ask is on linux-mint itself, but they'r not on freenode, so I cant send you the #channel01:25
perlite11deezed: I'm on mint 16, and I just installed it yesterday01:26
sanderglitsj16, its deb http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu precice main01:26

agent_prohello people01:26
sanderglitsj16, what will the command be then?01:26
glitsj16sander: that's it? well my logic has been busted :p01:27
sanderglitsj16, thats it ;)01:27
glitsj16sander: you probably installed the PPA some time ago?01:27
deezedperlite11: I know. But maybe you've got any problems with the installation, I mean, its kind of normal. Since you had internet connection during the installation, that seems to me to be the lonely option I know. So my advice, if you recently installed it, is to reinstall.01:27
sanderglitsj16, a few months ago01:27
deezedagent_pro: hello01:28
glitsj16sander: hmm, workaround perhaps .. if you don't want to keep dropbox, you might as well uninstall that first by running a regular sudo apt-get install <packagename> (for each of the packages you want to remove, after that just remove the dropbox file from /etc/apt/sources.d directory and run a sudo apt-get update01:30

onetinsoldiersure, go ahead01:35
sanderglitsj16, I want to verify that I didnt install any malicous code from the dropbox ppa.. as chkrootkit detects the suckit rootkit. It says I should be warned if I installed software from a third party repisotory.01:35
glitsj16sander: that only talks about adding the ppa, not removing it as promised in the title ..01:35
sanderglitsj16, yeah.. :-(01:36
deezedtheaftermath: Sorry, I dont know what can it be, but maybe you could ask this on #grub01:36

MisesI'm using xchat presently.01:42

xorwitchBeldar , everything in the sense, like firefox , cmus, it ran fine with root, and now that i have made a user and checked the file permission, even the home directory has permission for root03:08
xorwitchit was a minimal install03:09
glitsj16intrader: true, that spells trouble 3 times03:09
Beldarxorwitch, If it were me I would install a correct setup, but thats me.03:09
cgeI'm not sure the best place to ask this, but I keep getting change notification spam from the community help wiki on a very old account, and can't seem to find how to unsubscribe from watching those pages... they don't show up in my subscribed wiki pages list, there's no information about how to unsubscribe from them in the emails.03:09
intraderglitsj16, curious, I have had to restart due to the heat problem - the machine simply shuts down03:10
glitsj16intrader: i bet that's a safety precaution built into the linux kernel03:10
xorwitchBeldar, thank you, i was expecting some other solution, but i guess what you said is the only choice i have.03:10
Beldarxorwitch, Basically ubuntu can become rather messed up running in root so whether you think its secure is up for grabs if even fixed.03:11
cgexorwitch, that should be fixable, if you're willing to deal with a bit of a hackish fix.03:11
intraderglitsj16, once it gets cpus to 100C or temp2 to 100C, it dies03:11
xorwitchBeldar , thats true03:11
xorwitchcge what would you sugest03:11
cgexorwitch: where are your permission problems? If you were running everything as root, and you created a user, that user should have a different home folder, and you shouldn't have any permission problems beyond your data not being there.03:12
glitsj16intrader: well i hope you can get it sorted out soon, wouldn't be the first machine that dies due to prolonged overheating03:12

intraderglitsj16, it must be a rugged puppy this lenovo t61P03:14

Trinity:-)03:14
cgexorwitch: If you move, as root or with sudo, all your stuff from that directory to your new user's home directory, and then run "chown -R USERNAME /home/USERNAME" as root or under sudo, that should fix most of your permission problems.03:14
=== Trinity is now known as onetinsoldier
glitsj16intrader: still downloading?03:16
cgexorwitch: There may be some lingering issues that may pop up, however, mainly relating to usernames. chown -R is your friend for these sorts of problems; you may also want to change the group for the files, but I'm not sure what ubuntu uses these days for groups.03:16

xorwitchcge thats one way you sugest, but there are other applications too, for example firefox, now i have to track all those files that need to be changed permission, and thats just one application, i used GIMP, blender, cmus, banshee, i guess what Beldar said would be better, since i wanted this install to be clean and secure, just couldnt resist the urge to try everything :p03:17
jmgkin general what do you prefer for Ubuntu03:19
jmgkdesktop or laptop ?03:19
intraderglitsj16, the desired driver is activated but not currently in use - do I need to reboot?03:19
cgexorwitch: What do you mean? That will change the permissions for everything that *should* have permissions changed. Unless you're doing something weird, all the data your user should have permissions for should be in their home directory, so moving everything and chowning them should work. The user application data is in there too; it's not a per-application thing. Your user shouldn't have rw access to the non-user application files like thos03:20
cge/usr.03:20
glitsj16intrader: yes, although i'm not very used to the additional drivers tool, but you will see the nvidia splash screen if all goes well that way, reassuring for a few times, goodluck03:21
Pencil_how do I use deb to look at source code?03:21
intraderglitsj16, rebooting03:21
onetinsoldierPencil_: dpkg -c  ...or... dpkg -x03:23
xorwitchcge i guess i will gve it a try then03:23
xorwitchcge thank you03:24
onetinsoldierPencil_: depending on if you just want to list the contents, or extract them03:24
Pencil_ty03:24
onetinsoldierPencil_: you must first have a source code package, not a binary package03:24
grahamsavagehey03:25
onetinsoldierPencil_: you are probably wanting to extract the contents of the source code package, so you can view the actual contents of the file i'm assuming03:25
grahamsavageis there anyway i can workout if my computer has been hacked?03:25
Pencil_Yes.   I need to read the source.03:26
Pencil_Binary wont work for me.03:26
onetinsoldierPencil_: man dpkg, or perhaps even better,  man dpkg-deb03:26
daftykinsgrahamsavage: what's got you suspicious?03:27
grahamsavagedaftykins: my amazon account got hacked03:27
grahamsavageand ran up a 12k $ bill03:27
onetinsoldierPencil_: perhaps you need to start with --> apt-get -d source <name_of_package>03:28
grahamsavageit was 3 days after i had logged into ec2 for the first time in 2 years03:28
grahamsavageso it's down too.. somehow the password got pilfered on the internet03:28
grahamsavageor there's a virus on my comuter03:28
daftykinsgrahamsavage: are you running up to date software and using a good password?03:28
onetinsoldierPencil_: then look at the man page for dpkg-deb --> man dpkg-deb03:28
grahamsavagedaftykins: yeah password is ok03:28
intraderglitsj16, as I don't know what the driver will do for me, it looks like there is more heat generated.03:28
grahamsavagedaftykins: software is upto date03:29
daftykinsso we're talking 10+ characters at least?03:29
glitsj16intrader: doesn't sound promising ..03:29
grahamsavagewhich the ec2 password or my computer password?03:29
grahamsavagemy computer password is 12ish, the ec2 one is 30 randomized03:30
daftykinsgrahamsavage: any and all03:30
grahamsavagei.e. the ec2 one is not brute-forcable03:31
glitsj16intrader: perhaps it's time to take the rugged puppy to an it 'vet' .. have you asked around in a hardware channel?03:31
Ben64grahamsavage: the only way to be sure your server is not compromised is to format and reinstall03:31
glitsj16intrader: do you have that nvidia-smi command available now?03:31
grahamsavageBen64: this is my desktop i'm worried about03:32
Ben64oh, well the same thing applies03:32
grahamsavagei've already deleted every instance of ec203:32
intraderglitsj16, I wish I could issue `command` and include its output. nvidia-smi installed and running - what will it do for me?03:32
grahamsavagei've got no idea how they got the password :/03:32
Ben64format, reinstall, have better security practices03:32
somsipgrahamsavage: did you store the .pem on any of the instances?03:33
glitsj16intrader: it's just a command that reports on a few params like your GPU temp, not like it can try to fix anything i'm afraid03:33
daftykinsgrahamsavage: i can't say i know much about ec2 but if it's a web service or has a web component, surely a cookie grab could've been performed by just being on other websites at the same time or some such03:33
grahamsavagesomsip: yeah possibly03:33
grahamsavagebut none of them were running03:33
grahamsavageevery ec2 was shut down03:33
grahamsavageuntil the hacker ones started up03:34
ehndehow do i log out?03:34
daftykinsgrahamsavage: what you could do is image up your OS right now, then format - then you can pick through the image at your leisure to try and identify any issues03:34
somsipgrahamsavage: ouch. Well, looks like you need to reset AWS Dashboard login, .pems, and your account details are on their with payment method so you could be in a hole right now03:34
grahamsavagedaftykins: hmm, yeah my ISP often injects code into webpages03:34
somsip*there03:34
glitsj16intrader: but now you've got the nvidia driver that indicator-sensors from earlier should work now and you can set an alarm with that so you can safely shut it down when needed03:34
ehndethere's no button or option to log off my desktop03:34
grahamsavagesomsip: i've got like 14 bank accounts, i just emptied that one03:35
grahamsavageno money is coming out :)03:35
grahamsavagesomsip: i've reset everything, deleted every user, removed every key03:35
somsipgrahamsavage: ok - sounds like the right approach03:35
grahamsavageadded multi-factor authentication, sent amazon an angry email03:36
grahamsavagebut now i'm stuck with how did they get the password03:36
grahamsavageemployee maybe :/03:36
ehndehow is there no log out button?03:37
ehndethis is almost as confusing as windows 803:37
Ben64ehnde: there is one...03:37
onetinsoldierehnde: have you tried the button in the far upper right hand corner?03:37

ehndethere is no log out button that i see03:38

boomgreetings all  are there any youtube videos that show how to install  Compiz on a 12.04 LTS install from start to  actually using it03:53
Beldarboom, compiz is installed in unity.03:53
Beldarunity is a plugin in it03:54
denny-Beldar: I'm not having this conversation again.  I can easily list dozens of things I do daily that take more keypresses and/or mouse actions with Unity or Gnome 3 than they do with Gnome 2.  It is slower for the kind of work I do, and/or for the way my mind works.  I'm happy to be able to stick with a way that works for me.03:54
Beldardenny-, And that's your reality, not everyone else's, when you use phrases like "yeah, Gnome Classic or whatever it's called, is (your) current best route to UI sanity." It is a subjective projection.03:56

KamuelaI'm using 13.10 with a Toshiba laptop with Intel HD 4600 and I'm having very odd intermittent display issues.03:59
denny-Beldar: It was a continuation of the advice you'd just given someone, how is that 'off topic'?03:59
BeldarKamuela, give the channel details if you can.03:59
aslaenok, I have no idea what is going on. I installed MySQL and it is only listening on 127.0.0.1. I have added bind-address = * to /etc/my.cnf and restarted MySQL04:00
aslaenstill only listening on 127.0.0.104:00
KamuelaBeldar, I'm not sure what else to say about it, except the fact that by default there's obviously a driver or configuration error because I have done no tweaking myself04:00
denny-Beldar: sarcastic remarks about my 'inability to adapt' are however against network policy.04:00
KamuelaI either have screen flickering or what looks like extremely low DPI along with only black/white/faded green colors04:01
denny-http://askubuntu.com/questions/364445/disable-the-new-keyboard-applet-in-ubuntu-13-10 ... I don't have the  “Show Current Input Source in Menu Bar” option on that dialog.  Help?  :)04:01
Ben64Kamuela: can you take a picture?04:01
KamuelaI'm not 100% if the screenshot is showing how bad my video is, but I think it is: http://postimg.org/image/vunxg9bhv/04:03
Ben64Kamuela: looks perfect04:04
KamuelaI can't tell if Ben64 is being sarcastic or not because it is really hard for me to look at the screenshot and see if it shows how bad it is. Is it possible that my display is just not being detected correctly?04:05
denny-aslaen, try a read of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11905895/mysql-remote-connection-not-as-usual - it suggests that mysql might not always shut down cleanly and so it does'nt restart properly with your new settings.04:06
KamuelaIs there a command that would let me see what graphics driver I'm using? And then one maybe that would let me see what video settings I'm using for the display?04:06
Ben64oh, no sarcasm here Kamuela. It has no problems on that screenshot. maybe try taking an actual picture?04:06
aslaendenny-: ya I read that. I actually did a kill -9 on all mysql processes and checked time, it definitely restarted04:06
denny-Kamuela, your screenshot looks fine to me also04:06
denny-sounds like you have a loose cable or something04:07
KamuelaIf screenshots are fine, is the problem likely to be a display detection thing?04:07
Ben64Kamuela: "lshw -C VIDEO | grep driver" and "xrandr" for your previous query04:07
Kamueladenny-, yeah, a loose cable that windows tightens just in time for boot to have a perfecct display lol04:07
denny-ah, missed that bit  :)04:07
jmgkhi there denny-04:07
denny-jmgk, heyla  :)04:07
jmgkhow goes it :D04:08
Ben64Kamuela: and to be fair, you never mentioned that it works fine in windows04:08
denny-jmgk, slowly but surely04:08
jmgkhaha04:08
KamuelaI get configuration: driver=i915 latency=004:08
denny-today I are mostly wanting to kill the language selection widget in the taskbar04:08
denny-I seem to be lacking a tickybox though04:08
KamuelaBen64, true, although I didn't mean the comment in any serious way. Just trying to get it fixed. That's why i came in here knowing it was either a display or graphics issue and not a hardware one04:09
Ben64Kamuela: which is why we need full details of a problem in order to diagnose it04:10
KamuelaIs the i915 driver alright to be using with hd 4600? and I tried to change that string and grep for xrandr and nothing was returned, unless I interpreted what I was supposed to replace in the command incorrectly04:10
RalliasUhm... so I'm having problems doing a release upgrade... how do I reduce my total disk usage?04:11
KamuelaOhhh, was I just meant to type xrandr? Because I got some info from that04:12
BeldarRallias, from what lts to whatlts?04:12
RalliasBeldar, 13.04 to 13.1004:12
Kamuela  1600x900       60.0*+04:12
* denny- types xrandr, then wonders where his laptop is hiding 3 HDMI ports.04:12
Kamuela is what the first line shows, and I'm wondering if the asterisk means something?04:12
BeldarRallias, That is not a long term04:13
denny-whoa, 4am04:13
Ben64Kamuela: thats the current mode04:13
denny-perhaps it is bedtime.  Night all  :)04:13
RalliasBeldar, I fail to see why me not running an LTS is an issue.04:13
BeldarRallias, It is not, but starting with correct syntax is helpful is all, it makes things confusing if you do not do so.04:14
glitsj16denny-: i remember reading on the missing tickybox, don't ask me why but if you have an entry in system settings like 'text entry' it could be hiding there .. goodnight04:14
BeldarRallias, Sorry I read that as a lts my mistake.04:15

AdamBInfinityhas anybody been able to set up their gnome-terminal to use solarized with vim? I get so far and then it seems as if my bold colors are displaying grey04:20
lotuspsychjeAdamBInfinity: did you try vim-gtk?04:20
AdamBInfinityno... i'm not sure i've heard of that04:20
KamuelaI can "fix" the major issue by opening up the display settings and changing resolutions back and forth. However it doesn't change what seems to be a weird flickering around the outline of the desktop. I'm cool with living with this, I'm just afraid that Ubuntu might be hurting my display by not outputting to it correctly.04:21
AdamBInfinityI don't want to use a graphical vim though04:21
intraderglitsj16, gpu at 91C, nearby cpus 81C04:21
Ben64Kamuela: its likely a configuration problem04:21
lotuspsychjeAdamBInfinity: i use solarized theme aswell, and vim-gtk to syntax highlight04:22
KamuelaBen64, this is what I suspected. And I wonder if what's happening is the refresh rate or one of those type of settings is off for the display04:22
glitsj16intrader: that's not going in the safe direction .. ask the channel again i'd say, i'm going horizontal for the night .. nice meeting you and keep well04:23

pbk829is it normal for a wifi adapter to not be able to connect/maintain connection to a wifi network unless the signal strength is at least ~70% (or -60dBm)?04:39
lotuspsychjepbk829: wifi adapter chipset? ubuntu version?04:40
pbk829ah just found an open source driver for it. maybe that will help it. will report back04:40
pbk829RTL818704:40
pbk82913.0404:41
meddywhen I boot up ubuntu 13.10 during  boot it says error writing or reading  HDO i think and it continutes the boot process04:41
lotuspsychjepbk829: wifi security wpa, wep?04:41
pbk829open04:41
lotuspsychjepbk829: should work fine with the drivers that installed by default04:42
lotuspsychjepbk829: or did you install other drivers from additional drivers?04:42
lotuspsychje!realtek | pbk82904:42
ubottupbk829: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b04:42
pbk829i didn't install any drivers. just what came with ubuntu04:43
onetinsoldiermeddy: i'd look at the output of --> dmesg | less04:43
onetinsoldiermeddy: see if you see the message in there04:43
lotuspsychjepbk829: you might wanna check realteks latest ubuntu driver on their site aswell04:44
onetinsoldiermeddy: if not, try --> less /ver/log/kern.log04:44
onetinsoldiermeddy: if not, try --> less /var/log/kern.log04:44
lotuspsychjeAdamBInfinity: you know colortail?04:44
onetinsoldiermeddy: you did say it contines to boot. so you boot into linux then?04:44
pbk829ya, maybe. but it has no issues when the signal strength is >70%. i was just wondering if that's normal.04:45
meddyyea but it interupts it everytime04:45
meddyand that command don't work04:45
lotuspsychjepbk829: well i have seen signal issues on ubuntu before, on some WEP security04:45

al_laHey all, quick question.  Fresh 13.10 install, went to Google Plus and upon pop-up, installed web apps.  Once installed, the launcher shows icon as gray question mark.  Searching dash shows blank file icon.  I purged unity-webapps-googleplus, reinstalled and still same problem.  This has happened for all web apps, but no other programs.  Another symptom: no web apps have integrated into messaging notification.  Any ideas?06:00
Beldaral_la, link to app.06:01
al_laBeldar, I'm sry, not quite sure what you mean06:02
Beldaral_la, link to what you installed.06:03

Jordan_Uceciymaxi: That's expected, you're creating a new file.06:54
ceciymaxiJordan_U, sorry....Now I understand06:54
Jordan_Uceciymaxi: You can now quit gedit and reboot your computer. At boot you'll have 4 entries for Windows, the first two won't work, and the second two should both successfully boot Windows. Once we've confirmed that the third entry works, we'll get rid of all of the rest.06:55

rootptTo download a file in the console i use wget, and to upload whats the command ?07:02
Jordan_Urootpt: Specifically how you do it depends on where you're uploading too, but wget also.07:02
ceciymaxiJordan_U, the first attemps with the 3rd and 4rd option didn' t work07:02
Jordan_Uceciymaxi: What happened when you selected those entries?07:02
ceciymaxiJordan_U, but then the 3rd. one worked and I was prompted with a Windows Recovery screen07:02
rootptif i want to upload lets say, if im connected in 1 machine with ubuntu by ssh, and i want to send a file from my computer07:03
ceciymaxiJordan_U, when I saw that recovery screen I just came back here07:03
rootptisn't is the command: put ?07:03
rootptno :X07:04
Jordan_Urootpt: That's an ftp command, used at an ftp shell, not a *NIX command per-se (you would use a different command to first get to an ftp shell). What is your end goal?07:05
rootptjust want to know how can i upload 1 file to other machine07:05

rootptHow can i upload to other machine07:06
rootptif its possible ..07:06
redtravismaybe someone here can answer a quick question I am using windows but I love the linux terminal is there a good program out there that would emulate a linux terminal? I am curently using git but it dosent get any wider than 1/3 of my screen and no tab support07:07
rootptredtravis, like putty ?07:07
pvl1why is udev taking up almost 4g, but only using 1%07:08
ceciymaxiJordan_U, should I run the recovery from windows?07:08
Ben64redtravis: sounds like a question for ##windows07:08
Jordan_Uceciymaxi: No (at least not yet).07:08
ceciymaxiJordan_U, ok07:08
Jordan_Uceciymaxi: What happened the first time you used the third and fourth entries?07:08
Sciphey, does anyone know how I can suspend ubuntu running from a USB HDD?07:09
Scipovercoming power issues07:09
Overlordzredtravis, try Cygwin07:09
Overlordzredtravis, and maybe Console207:09
ceciymaxiJordan_U,  it just went back to the grub menu07:09
ceciymaxiJordan_U, but I could get to the recovery window at the second attempt selecting the 3rd. option07:09
hax-*cough* /fixmbr was one cmd just sayin07:10
Jordan_Uceciymaxi: OK, I'm not sure what to make of that. Try the fourth entry again.07:10
redtravisrootpt: putty as far as far as I know is for ssh and what I want is to be able to use the commands I have gooten used to on windows like ls instead of dir07:10
ceciymaxiJordan_U, with the fourth one I just got back to the grub menu07:10
Overlordzyeah you want Cygwin it gives a "Linux like" console on Windows07:10
Jordan_Uceciymaxi: The second time you tried it as well?07:11
redtravisOverlordz: ill take a look at Console2 I am already tried out Cygwin and didnt like it too much07:11
ceciymaxiJordan_U, yeap07:11
ceciymaxiJordan_U, the only one that seemed to work was the 3rd one07:11
Jordan_Uceciymaxi: That alone makes sense, but I don't know why you're getting a recovery console with the third. I suspect that it's something wrong with Windows rather than something wrong with how we're loading Windows. Please join ##windows and we can see if anyone there can shed some light on this.07:13
ceciymaxiJordan_U, ok07:13
Overlordzredtravis, what didn't you like about Cygwin?  I think you can configure Console2 to work with Cygwin if you just didn't like the window07:14
ceciymaxiJordan_U, should I explain everything we just did?07:15

grendal_primedo you need to push to just one user or all on a vpn?07:39
grendal_primeand you do realize when you do this,  all of your traffic will be going through the vpn.07:40
darshanbm19911grendal_prime: all the users07:40

grendal_primethats a rabbithole you need to think about ..but if you know thats what you want then that is the first step in going down that rabbit hole.07:41

grendal_primedarshanbm19911,  the directive you are looking for is redirect-gateway07:47
Beldarthom__, This is ubuntu support not chat.07:48
darshanbm19911 grendal_prime: searching the term on google07:48
grendal_primehttp://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html07:49
grendal_primesearch for "redirect-gateway"07:49
grendal_primebasically states this07:49
grendal_primeAdd the following directive to the server configuration file:07:49
grendal_prime    push "redirect-gateway def1"07:49
grendal_primethat should give you what you need.  i know a lot of chines it worked for07:50
grendal_primealso.  the server you are running this on will need ip forewarding enabled.07:50
tenXdarshanbm19911: and that is exactly what i've ben explaining to you07:52
darshanbm19911grendal_prime: I don't have any authorization on server , I was just given a ".ovpn" file , I've used openvpn on windows to access my work related websites(Which are accessible only through Openvpn) , I shifted over to Ubuntu, I'm trying to replace my Windows07:53
grahamsavagegrendal: lol.. yeah very original07:53
grahamsavagefirst and last name07:53
grahamsavageis it possible to get google authenticator working for logging into ubuntu?07:53
tenXgrahamsavage: what does google authenticator auth you for?07:54
grahamsavagetenX: that you have your phone on you07:54
Picigrahamsavage: Looks like there are instructions on the google authenticator's google code page: https://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/wiki/PamModuleInstructions07:54
PiciNo idea if it works or not though.07:55
grahamsavagePici: yeah it works for ssh07:55
grahamsavagei've got it working on gmail / ssh / lastpass / google talk07:55
kryptarHey, does anyone know how to resize a NTFS partition from linux? GParted will not allow me to resize c:07:56
grendal_primedarshanbm19911,   and you will need to basically set the host of the openvpn server up as a router.07:56
tenXgrahamsavage: so its a client interface to auth your mobile device to google enabling you to interact further in what way?07:56
grendal_primeare you prepaired to do that?07:56
darshanbm19911Yes07:57
grahamsavagetenX: ok for ssh, it will require the code from your phone to be able to ssh in07:57
Beldarkryptar, what is the windows release?07:57
darshanbm19911grendal_prime:  yes07:57
PicitenX: its like an RSA key fob07:57
grendal_primedid you find the documentation i was reffering to at the openvpn.net site?07:57
tenXgrahamsavage: excuse me just asking for interest right now could google it right ahead07:57
kryptarWindows 7 professional07:58
Beldarkryptar, use nicks here, if bootable use it's disk manager to resize.07:58
darshanbm19911grendal_prime: Yes07:58
tenXPici: still dont get the context could you explain plz?07:58
grendal_primeif so...proceed with configureation as documented and report at next roadblock07:58
darshanbm19911grendal_prime: I've already followed those steps07:58
Jordan_Ukryptar: What error message do you get when you try to resize it?07:58
tenXgrendal_prime: if gone through every step with darshanbm1991107:59
tenXgrendal_prime: concerning ovpn07:59
grendal_primedarshanbm19911,  is there a firewall on the host?07:59
kryptarJordan_U: Well, I get no error message, but it says the Maximum and Minimum sizes I can resize to are the same07:59
grahamsavagetenX: yeah it's really good to stop hackers.. basically they don't have the device, even if they have your password they can't login07:59
darshanbm19911grendal_prime: just the default firewall that comes in with Ubuntu07:59
darshanbm19911grendal_prime: Iptables (ufw)08:00
tenXgrahamsavage: really dunno what kind of technique we're talking about, sorry for asking08:00
tenXgrahamsavage: could google it up of course08:00
grahamsavagetenX: so for example we currently have a deployment archtecture based on private keys which sit on my computer... with this i can type in an additional code from my mobile which will authenticate it.  Even if they get your password, they can't login08:00
grendal_primecan anyone tell me if that firewall is in an active state...at install...also  darshanbm19911 have you nmap that address to see if you can see the vpn accepting port?08:01

grahamsavagetenX: each code only lasts for about 30 seconds08:01
Picigrendal_prime: there are no iptables rules active at install time.08:01
tenXgrahamsavage: k it's some sort of client auth then?08:02
darshanbm19911grendal_prime: No, its disabled  by default08:02
grahamsavageyeah it's two-factor authentication08:02
tenXgrahamsavage: i see but for what services?08:02
grahamsavagetenX: it's like with my bank i have a hardware device i use everytime i do transactions online08:02
grendal_primedarshanbm19911,   This is what i do as my dayjob.. Literally..openvpn concentrator replacements for cisco concentrators.  would you be comfortable with granting me root access to the box.  There will be a minor fee08:02
grahamsavagetenx: gmail / google accounts in general / lastpass / ssh etc08:02
grahamsavage+ any app you build it into08:02
tenXgrahamsavage: thanks for your time and explanation08:03
grendal_primei was kidding about the fee08:03

grendal_primebut you may have to marry my ugly sister.08:04
grendal_primein my country that is the price you pay for knowledge.08:04
tenXgrahamsavage: so that is specific to google services and related to android?08:05
darshanbm19911grendal_prime: lol, caan you walk me through the steps?08:05
grahamsavagetenX: nah you can implement it in your own apps08:05
grendal_primeI could but it sounds like that has already been done.08:06
grendal_primetell you what08:06
tenXgrahamsavage: "app" is mobile related for me08:06

boldfilter1Hey ubuntu chat08:54
XeusI am running Ubuntu Server in a VM on Windows Server 2012, the primary partition ran out of space and I am using LVM so I increased the virtual disk size, however when I try to create a new partition it is only 1023 blocks available on the drive although fdisk shows the disk at the proper new size. It appears that the existing partition /dev/sda5 ate up all08:54
Xeusthose new blocks automatically yet the space is not available to increase the logical volume size? Can someone please help me? Thanks!08:54
ikoniaXeus: please pastebin the output of the command "df -h" and vgdisplay08:55
RoryXeus: I think you also have to resize the LVM volume group also http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/extendlv.html08:56
Xeushttp://pastebin.com/8v4yHpuz08:56
ikoniaXeus: you're running blackbox, not ubuntu08:56
Xeusblackbox is my hostname08:57
ikoniaXeus: there are other hints that suggest you are running blackbox08:57
john_ramboikonia, http://imagebin.org/28234808:57
XeusI am seriously running Ubuntu Server, not blackbox08:57
Xeusthat is just my hostname08:57
ikoniaXeus: ok, so your volume group is fully allocated, how did you grow the volume08:58
XeusI didn't do anything to it, all I did was resize the VHD08:58
ikoniaXeus: right, so you can't just do that,08:58
ikoniaXeus: you can't change the disk under the operating system and expect lvm to know it's changed08:59
XeusI realize that08:59
ikoniaXeus: then why are you surprised it's not working08:59
XeusI need to create a new partition to allocate those new blocks08:59
vmuseris there way to cache Unity's dash08:59
vmusersince it's super slow08:59
XeusI'm following this tutorial: http://www.rootusers.com/how-to-increase-the-size-of-a-linux-lvm-by-expanding-the-virtual-machine-disk/08:59
XeusWhen I create /dev/sda3 it only gets 1023 blocks08:59
Xeusbecause there are only 1023 blocks available09:00
XeusI rebooted, etc09:00
lotuspsychjevmuser: what are your system specs mate?09:00
Xeusthe original disk size was 6GB and I resized it to around 28GB09:00
ikoniaXeus: how are you creating the new partition09:00
Xeusfdisk /dev/sda09:00
Xeuscreate new primary partition09:00
vmuserlotuspsychje, Corsair SSD (last year model), 32GB DDR3, Phenom X609:00
Xeusset it up as an LVM with 8e hex code09:00
lotuspsychjevmuser: unity should work rocketfast then, what ubuntu version are you on?09:01
vmuserlotuspsychje, and an 5770 for VGA09:01

vmuserlotuspsychje, naturally09:01
ikoniajohn_rambo: the images are not served over https nor the stylesheet09:01
lotuspsychjevmuser: can you tell what feels slow on it?09:02
ikoniaXeus: can I please see in a pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" please09:02
asad2005In conky if i use alignment top_right the whole window disappear, how do i align? Is this a bug?09:02
vmuserlotuspsychje, still there is like 2-3 sec when searching for application via the windows/super key09:02
Xeusikonia: http://pastebin.com/zbPmsF7z09:03
lotuspsychjevmuser: you had this on previous ubuntu versions?09:03
john_ramboikonia, When I visit https://www.ubuntuforums.com I get  "The connection is Untrusted" ............I have instaeed the https everywhre addon is that causing the issue ?09:03
vmuseron this machine nope, and on the other one I'm on KDE09:03
ikoniajohn_rambo: what https addon ?09:03
vmuserwhich is a 12.0409:04
ikoniaXeus: ok, that partition looks good, what do you do next ?09:04
Guest78233hi, i'm looking for a tiny(<300MB) ubuntu distro with apt-get support, do you know of any?09:04
ikoniaGuest78233: not going to happen09:04
john_ramboikonia, https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere09:04
Xeusikonia: I try to create a new primary partition /dev/sda3 and it only gets 1023 blocks allocated (the rest of the remaining blocks on the disk)09:04
lotuspsychjevmuser: could be a 13.10 issue then, not sure what, but might take a look in /var/log/syslog09:05
Xeusikonia: it appears /dev/sda3 automatically took the new blocks?09:05
vmuserlotuspsychje, nothing of interest there, did it already09:05
vmuserthat's why i presume it's searching dynamically instead of caching the current contents09:05
Guest78233ikonia: are you sure? there are some really small ubuntu variants out there09:05
ikoniajohn_rambo: what the hell is that ? or the point of that "it makes browsers use https.....browsers already use https, that looks like a worthless bug of an application"09:05
ikoniaGuest78233: use one off them then, there are certainly no official supported ones09:06
lotuspsychjevmuser: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?09:06
Roryikonia: I confirm, it breaks sites that deliver some content over http and other over https09:06
vmuserlotuspsychje, yes09:06
ikoniaXeus: here is no sda3 partition in your pastebin.....09:06
ikoniaXeus: so I'm not sure what you are looking at09:06
Xeusikonia: I'm sorry, it appears /dev/sda5 took all the new blocks09:07
vmuserlotuspsychje, it's not a recent machine, but I think despite the old processor it should fly09:07
Guest78233ikonia: ok i see... perhaps there's a better channel to ask this type of question09:07
ikoniaXeus: but that disk likes fine and fully allow allocated apart from a small gap between sda1/sda209:07
Xeusikonia: /dev/sda3 is what I am trying to create09:07
ikoniaXeus: sda5 https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere09:07
ikoniaoops09:07
ikoniasorry, ignore that09:07
Xeusikonia: so /dev/sda5 took the new blocks automatically? why?09:07
ikoniaXeus: how do you expect to create anything when your disk is fully allocated apart from a small gap09:08
ikoniaXeus: it took all the blocks because somewhere you told it to09:08
john_ramboikonia, It actually tells FF to use https whwrever available . For example, by default FF uses the non encrypted Google page but with this addon installed it automatically selects the https  version of Google. I cam to know about this addon while using the tor browser09:08
lotuspsychjevmuser: with an ssd onboard should work fine09:08
lotuspsychjevmuser: got me an old amd 3200 with ssd also works rocketfast on latest ubuntu09:08
ikoniajohn_rambo: utter junk application09:08
ikoniahoschi_: type https://www.google.com - it works, you don't need this rubbish thing to do that for you09:08
Xeusikonia: I never told it to, I resized the disk, then tried to create a new partition /dev/sda3 and I couldn't get more than 1023 blocks09:08
vmuserlotuspsychje, maybe should find some guide to customize the dah09:08
ikoniaXeus: because it's allocated09:08
vmuserdash* maybe the problem comes from the dynamic search09:09
Xeusikonia: I even tried lvextend on my vg to see if it could expand to the entire /dev/sda5 and it says it can't expand anymore09:09
john_ramboikonia, OKay....I will just disable it a see if that solves the issue .....09:09
lotuspsychjevmuser: did you try disable background blur from compiz?09:10
Xeusikonia: if the drive is 26.8 GB and /dev/sda5 is using a majority of the blocks, why is my vg only 4.76 GiB?09:10
ikoniaXeus: I'm really sorry, but I don't understand what you are doing as it appears to just be a mess, you can't "extend" a disk that's already allocated to a volume group as the volume group just won't know about the additional space09:10
vmuserlotuspsychje, that one, no09:10
vmuserin which category is it?09:10
Xeusikonia: so I am screwed then? I can't expand my vg to use that additional space? or what?09:10
john_ramboikonia, No it didnt solve the issue .... I am still getting http://imagebin.org/28234809:11
ikoniaXeus: the way you would expand the volume group is create a new partition/disk - add the partition/disk to the volume group then extend the volume group09:11
ikoniasorry extend the volume09:11
Xeusikonia: that's what I wanted to do09:11
ikoniaXeus: that's not what you are doing though.....09:12
Xeusikonia: but somehow /dev/sda5 magically got those new blocks09:12
ikoniajohn_rambo: that's the same screen shot as before09:12
john_ramboikonia, Same thing just happened while using chromium09:12
ikoniajohn_rambo: please stop wasting my time09:12
ikoniajohn_rambo: you've just given me the same screen shot as before saying "it's still not working"09:13
Xeusikonia: at this point do I just increase the size of the disk again and hope the blocks don't get automatically consumed?09:13
ikoniaXeus: it doesn't "magically" get the new blocks09:13
ikoniaXeus: sd5 is unchanged - there is no "new" size there, you need to create a NEW partition09:13
Xeusikonia: I can't create a new partition that is more than 1023 blocks09:13
lotuspsychjevmuser: unity plugin, from ccsm09:14
ikoniaXeus: right, because there is no unallocated space free09:14
Xeusikonia: so I have to increase the size of the disk again?09:14
=== dino82 is now known as zz_dino82
lotuspsychjevmuser: can you lshw -C video for me?09:14
ikoniaXeus: to be honest, if I where you, I would create a new disk and add it to the volume group09:14
ikoniaXeus: you don't really seem to be ontop of lvm and partitions, so a new disk would be simpler for you to manage09:14
Xeusikonia: I followed http://www.rootusers.com/how-to-increase-the-size-of-a-linux-lvm-by-expanding-the-virtual-machine-disk/ to the letter, is there something wrong with this method?09:15
ikoniaXeus: yeah, you said you followed that, there is nothing wrong with it, but you're not really following it properly, creating a new disk would be simpler for you09:15
vmuserlotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6577078/09:16
vmuserlotuspsychje, maybe the problem is because I'm running 3 monitors?09:17
ilSt^^09:18
lotuspsychjevmuser: not sure, you should test one first and see if it occurs09:18
Xeusikonia: I agree with you that creating a new disk would be simpler, thanks for that -- I did follow the tutorial properly. Good day.09:18
ikoniaXeus: you didn't follow it, that's why it's not working09:19
Xeusikonia: I did follow it, thanks.09:19
lotuspsychjevmuser: did you find the 'background blur' option?09:19
ikoniaXeus: if you followed it properly you wouldn't be asking "why does it not work"09:19
ikoniaXeus: and I can see you're not following it properly, hence why I'm suggesting creating a new disk would be easier for you09:20
lotuspsychjevmuser: unity plugin from ccsm, dash blur: no blur09:20
Xeusikonia: It seems that you are insinuating that I am missing and/or overlooking a key step which I can assure you I am not.09:21
ikoniaXeus: I assure you, you are,09:21
Xeusikonia: okay i will look over it again, thank you for your help09:21
Xeusikonia: maybe I am just going insane :)09:21
ikoniaXeus: it's more that you don't understand partitioning and lvm09:23
vmuserlotuspsychje, I'll test it, but by no way I'm loosing monitors, need them for work :)09:23
lotuspsychjevmuser: i did not suggest to loose them :p09:24
Xeusikonia: I understand hard drives, blocks and partitions in general, I also understand when a disk is fully allocated. You said it yourself, this disk is fully allocated save for a few blocks in-between 2 partitions (which would be the 1023 blocks)09:24
Xeusikonia: which makes no sense to me when the OS is detecting the proper drive size09:24
lotuspsychjevmuser: no other grafix drivers showup in 'additional drivers' section?09:24
Xeusikonia: It leads me to the conclusion that something used the new available blocks and the primary suspect is /dev/sda509:25
vmuserlotuspsychje, nope09:25
ikoniaXeus: if you understand this, I don't understand why you are asking questions such as "why can I only create a partition with 1023 blocks" when you can see there is only 1023 blocks free09:26
vmuserlotuspsychje, nope, this is what i've got http://paste.ubuntu.com/6577119/09:26
ikoniaXeus: you "suspect" sda5 - unacceptable,09:26
ikoniaXeus: you've created an extended partition - I suspect that is your problem09:27
Xeusikonia: you are getting into semantics now09:27
Xeusikonia: I did not create /dev/sda209:27
is2b007require some assistance, I was trying to assign a hdd from /media/ to plex on Ubuntu 12.04, there were some complications from permissions, I looked around and saw I had to mount the drive to /mnt/ in order for it to be detected. I forcefully unmounted the drive and tried to mount it on. something happened, I messed around with it and now it's got "Corrupted file $UpCase, Input/output error"09:27
is2b007NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on windows. is there anyway to fix this via ubuntu09:27
Xeusikonia: that was and always has been there09:27
ikoniaXeus: no, I'm not getting into semantics09:27
ikoniaXeus: I'm stating what you are saying makes no sense09:28
Roryis2b007: The best thing would be to do it in Windows, is that an option?09:28
is2b007could it be done via a windows xp live usb?09:28
Roryis2b007: I don't think that exists09:28
Roryis2b007: Why do you have an NTFS partition if you don't use Windows dual boot?09:29
Xeusikonia: Instead of being a Stephen Mroczek and trolling people when you know the answer to their problem. perhaps you could provide some clues as to why I might be experiencing this issue rather than saying "You are a fucking piece of shit idiot who will never understand what you are doing so you should just give up"09:29
lotuspsychjevmuser: maybe go back and test LTS and see if your issue persists? (if you need it to be stable for work)09:29
Xeusikonia: because what you are doing now is not only unhelpful, but demeaning09:29
is2b007Rory: there was an error when trying to create ext409:29
is2b007Rory: decided to go NTFS, is there anyway to fix it via ubuntu09:30
vmuserlotuspsychje, nah, it stable enough as it is, just annoying09:30
vmuserI was just fooling around with 13.1009:30
vmuserbut had to use it, since the main machine died :D09:30
lotuspsychjevmuser: im skipping 13.10 myself and wait for 14.04 lts09:31
Roryis2b007: You can use ntfsfix which is part of the ntfsprogs package (sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs) - sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXN (replace /dev/sdXN with your actual partition)09:31
ikoniaXeus: if you don't want to deal with a honest conversation to understand and fix your problem due to your ego, thats your problem and I'll leave you to feel you have a superior understanding than you do....but with a broken system09:31
grendal_primealways my advice to everyone is LTS09:31
Calinougrendal_prime, not a good advice09:31
grendal_prime8 years says you are wrong09:31
lotuspsychjegrendal_prime: well, 13.04 was pretty fast for me and stable09:31
ikoniagrendal_prime: please, it's not "black and white"09:32
Calinouno09:32
grendal_primeyou want a list want doesnt work when it should?09:32
ikoniagrendal_prime: no,09:32
vmuserlotuspsychje, normal - does "intermediate" releases between the LTS are pretty much pointless IMO, they should just do LTS and having a rolling release "cutting edge" or something like that and do it arch style09:32
grendal_primethen shut up09:32
ikoniahoschi_: you've just come in an blindly randomly said "lts always"09:32
vmuserthose* I meant09:32
Calinouif something doesn't work, it's usually due to a PEBKAC, or to an easily fixable bug09:32
ikoniagrendal_prime: no - don't talk to pelple like that09:32
Calinouif you add 50 PPAs, deal with it09:32
grendal_primeLong term support09:33
=== freggles is now known as freckles
ikoniagrendal_prime: if you cannot be realistic with the advice you give or grasp that it's not black and white, then you should not be giving out random help09:33
grendal_primeif that does not mean what it is should then it should be renamed09:33
is2b007Rory: I ran it, supposedly $UpCase was fixed, when I went to gparted it specifies Inode is corrupt(625) something about the cluster accounting failing with there being extra clusters in $Bitmap09:33
ikoniahoschi_: apologies, that was not meant for you09:33
ikoniagrendal_prime: do you have an ubuntu support question ?09:33
grendal_primei was offering assistance09:34
ikoniagrendal_prime: now we've moved off that to you randomly insulting people, so lets stop for a while please.09:34
grendal_primebased on over 8 years of experinece09:34
ikoniagrendal_prime: your experience and needs, which is not the same for everyone else09:34
ikoniagrendal_prime: assesing the other users needs and wants is key09:34
grendal_primei insulted nobody.09:34
Roryis2b007: I strongly recommend running a chkdsk from Windows. ntfs support on Linux is still technically a bit of a hack, since there's no official support from Microsoft for it09:35
ikoniagrendal_prime: "shut up" - that is no how you speak to people09:35
ikoniagrendal_prime: you've been in this channel enough to know that09:35
grendal_primeok09:35
grendal_primewhat does long term support mean?09:35
Calinouit does not mean much to a lot of people, and "nothing" to some09:35
ikoniagrendal_prime: exactly that, supported for a long term09:35
ikonia!lts | grendal_prime09:35
ubottugrendal_prime: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04)09:35
grendal_primewe will do this the hard way...the time intensive way.09:35
ikoniagrendal_prime: we will do "nothing" - drop it09:36
is2b007Rory: Okay, thanks for the help I'll try get windows running on a seperate hdd in order to run the command09:36
knifebunnydo people fight in this channel a lot of the time ?09:36
lotuspsychjevmuser: maybe ask in ##hardware if there's any known issue with speed of your grafix card?09:36
ikoniaknifebunny: not really no, it's normally easy flowing09:36
grendal_primewhy would something be supported for a longer time than other releases?09:36
CPRdummyknifebunny: nope09:37
ikoniagrendal_prime: because it's designed to be maintained for longer and not dropped09:37
Sir_LetoIs there anyway to get HDMI audio working on a radeon 4670HD in Xubuntu/Ubuntu raring? (13.04)09:37
ikoniagrendal_prime: check the URL on LTS for an overview09:37
Sir_LetoI know that drivers no longer work for things09:37
lotuspsychje!sound | Sir_Leto09:37
ubottuSir_Leto: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.09:37
grendal_primewhy the hostility about preference to LTAS09:38
grendal_primeLTS that is09:38
ikoniagrendal_prime: there is no hostility to it, but blindly saying you should use it without checking requirements/needs is jus silly09:38
CalinouSir_Leto, updating to 13.10 could work a bit better maybe, but you have to set "radeon.hdmi=1" as a kernel boot setting09:38
grendal_primethats not what i said09:38
Calinou(I think)09:38
ikoniagrendal_prime: as I said, it's not black and white "everyone use it!!!" it's look at the needs09:39
lotuspsychjegrendal_prime: and other versions might work as good as lts also09:39
ikonia < grendal_prime> always my advice to everyone is LTS09:39
ikoniagrendal_prime: that is EXACTLY what you said09:39
grendal_primeadvice09:39
ikoniagrendal_prime: "everyone use LTS"09:39
Sir_LetoCalinou: How would I do this? And my card is set to be the default sound device.09:39
ikoniagrendal_prime: it's good to use LTS release for lots of reasons, other times non-LTS maybe a better choice, it depends on the needs and wants of the user09:39
CalinouI'm not sure, I've never done it, but I think you should edit /etc/default grub, add "radeon.hdmi=1" then do "sudo update-grub2"09:40
grendal_primewhen?09:40
Calinouthat is, if you use the open source driver, not the proprietary one09:40
Calinouif you use the proprietary one then the story is very different09:40
ikoniagrendal_prime: depends, listen to what the user wants/needs09:40
Calinoubut the proprietary one normally doesn't work as of 12.10 on HD4000s09:40
Sir_LetoCalinou: I don't have any drivers installed09:40
grendal_primeyour advice taken...you should also consider mine09:40
Calinouif you have anything drawn on your screen, you have a driver installed, Sir_Leto09:41
ikoniagrendal_prime: no, because it's wrong09:41
grendal_primedone09:41
ikoniagrendal_prime: "always LTS" is not good advice09:41
Sir_LetoBecause of that reason. Then it's the default drivers09:41
Calinouyou're just using the open source driver which is in the kernel :P09:41
grendal_primei must have missed something...what was the problem exacly?09:41
grendal_primeill hell the best i can09:42
grendal_primehelp out that is.09:42
ikoniagrendal_prime: ok, so you've just confirmed you had no idea what the problem was but just randomly told him to use LTS09:42
grendal_primeproblem?09:42
ikoniagrendal_prime: which goes back to what I was saying earlier about lisening to needs and wants and evaluating them for the situation09:42
lotuspsychjei sugested vmuser he could test lts just to see if his issue persists09:42
grendal_primei want to make sure i didnt miss anything09:43
grendal_primeone thing i have learned...start from the beginning.09:43
ikoniagrendal_prime: ok, so sit and watch the channel, and when you see something you feel you understand and have good advice for, jump in09:43
vmuserguys stop fighting or take it private09:44
Sir_LetoWhen trying to use aplay, I get ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:750:(pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Device or resource busy09:44
ikoniavmuser: no-one is fighting09:44
Calinoulotuspsychje, grendal_prime, that does not fix the issue09:44
Calinoupeople do not want to use a 1 to 1.5 year older version just because of some bug that can almost always be fixed09:44
vmuserikonia, okay, having unproductive conversation09:44
lotuspsychjegrendal_prime: ikonia is right about every version got its own features and lts is not always 'best' choice09:44
lotuspsychjethis is not fighting but learning09:44
grendal_primei came in late on the issue cause i was privet with an idividual who was lost cause nobody here realised that the prolem with there vpn was that they had a client issue not a server isue.09:45

alfonsojonaptoncd is no fun. :)09:52

lotuspsychjeikonia: sounds nice09:53
varunendraalfonsojon, why so? (aptoncd is no fun)09:53
alfonsojonI don't see the point in using APTonCD if the packages are already available via the repos09:53

alfonsojonlotuspsychje: Well, not really fast, just streamlined.09:54

lotuspsychjealfonsojon: this might be what ikonia sugested you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages09:55
XeusI figured it out, you were not very helpful. The 1023 blocks are between /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 and it was automatically grabbing that with the defaults. I realized my error was that I was not beginning my partition after /dev/sda5 and that is why it was only grabbing the 1023 blocks between the 2 partitions.09:55
ikoniaXeus: I told you this09:56
ikoniaXeus: I stated the extended partition09:56
Xeusikonia: how does that have anything to do with the extended partition?09:56
ikoniaXeus: and I stated the free space you where using was between sda1 and 2 - which is why it was so small09:56
Xeusikonia: okay you were right then, my apologies09:56
ikoniaXeus: because that is a fixed size as it contains partitions, so you'd need to make the start point AFTER it09:56
Xeusikonia: and yes, I was definitely not paying attention09:57
Xeusikonia: I also recall you saying the disk was fully allocated, which it was not09:57
ikoniaXeus: it was fully allocated09:57
ikoniaXeus: from an lvm point of view09:57
Xeusikonia: how so?09:57
ikoniaXeus: thats why you needed new partition09:57
Xeusikonia: you were being cryptic09:58
Xeusikonia: you can't tell me that is something you don't know already though09:58
ikoniaXeus: not really, you just didn't seem to have a good grasp on how it works,  that's why I told you just to create a new disk to keep it simple09:58
ikoniaXeus: when I suggested this you got all upset, so it made no sense to continue09:58
Xeusikonia: something tells me you have a habit of speaking cryptically09:58

MonkeyDustGuest89818  here's why http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/85714/boot-into-a-chroot12:04

lakitui'm trying to navigate downloading a gimp deb & dependencies for my offline ubuntu comp, on a fedora12:13
lakituany help?12:13
MonkeyDustlakitu  why are you asking here?12:14
lakitu#fedora sent me here12:14
lakitusaid to get a download script12:14
lakituit's a kubuntu - 12 i think12:15
bekkslakitu: you have to know for sure.12:15
MonkeyDustlakitu  i guess fedora can't handle .deb, as it's redhat based12:15
lakitubekks: how to tell12:16
lakituMonkeyDust: so i can't download deb files via fedora?12:16
lakituor what do you mean can't handle12:16
knightshadeHello12:16
ActionParsnipLakitu: yes. Its just a file12:16
lakituActionParsnip: yes what - i can't download deb files in fedora???12:16
ActionParsnipLakitu: you just wont be able to install it in fedora12:16
lakituright12:16
lakitui want to install it to a offline kubuntu comp12:16
knightshadelakitu: cat /etc/issue12:17
ActionParsnipLakitu: you can download deb files in fedora, yes. Why would you not?12:17
lakituUbuntu 12.0412:17
lakituActionParsnip: misunderstanding12:17
ActionParsnipLakitu: its like asking "can I download png files in fedora". Just because your OS cannot instal the application doesnt mean you cannot download the files12:18
lakituso how do i best get gimp on my kubuntu 12.04 without connecting it12:18
lakituActionParsnip: that was my take, he put it in such a way it was hard to tell12:18
ikonialakitu: burn the install DVD for your version, that way it will have everything you will probably ever need12:18
ikonialakitu: you can use that install DVD as a repo12:18
lakitueasily?12:19
ikonialakitu: you'll find that the best way to use your machine offline if you are notconfident12:19
lakituok12:19
ikonialakitu: yes, burn DVD, put into drive, enable it in software sources12:19
lakitui'm not exactly not confident, but just want easiest way12:19
lakitugui is nice12:19
ActionParsnipIs Gimp on the DVD media?12:19

Guest89818here is a script to boot into subdirectory, so it' seems to be possible; https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=932362#p93236212:23
bekksGuest89818: That not booting into a chroot, but booting into a subdirectory. The first isnt possible, the latter is.12:26
_Hassen_umm..I wonder if a 35 gb of HDD space is enough for a daily use of ubuntu12:26
ikonia_Hassen_: only you will tell12:26
_Hassen_ikonia, the thing is just i'm about to install ubuntu next to my win712:27
_Hassen_just sorting partitions now12:27
ActionParsnip_Hassen_: my / partiton is 4.4Gb used12:27
cfhowlett_Hassen_, *should* be but depends on your data storage.   I've got full on ubuntu studio + the dell sputnik developer packages.  /filesystem takes 11 gigs.  /home is over 20012:27
Guest89818what is the difference? I can also install kernel into chroot12:28
_Hassen_I often edit videos/photos and code/learn softwares12:28
_Hassen_as well as downloading softwares12:28
MonkeyDust8.2GB used  in / here12:28
bekksGuest89818: A subdirectory has nothing to do with a chroot, the content inside the subdirectory is not chrooted.12:28
_Hassen_MonkeyDust, from what total size?12:28
MonkeyDust_Hassen_  15, but i have a separate /home12:29
cfhowlett_Hassen_, the videos will eat up lots of space.12:29
bekksGuest89818: thats even said in the post.12:29
_Hassen_mmmm...12:30
cfhowlett_Hassen_, but sounds like we have similar interests.  Suggest you peek at #ubuntustudio and the Dell Sputnik Developer ISO12:30
_Hassen_cfhowlett, what is  Dell Sputnik Developer ISO ?12:31

apm1no cure we know of it , frankly we can't teach you how to pull the ISOs14:21
ActionParsnipArubi: use torrents, the protocol adds error checking14:21
arubiActionParsnip, will do.14:21
cfhowlettarubi, actually, I'd question this.  If you've verified md5sum and they're good, what do you meant "corrupt"?14:22
MississaugaI being out of the software field for a decade, back then lots of apps for UNIX based systems were written in Perl and mySQL. I was looking at the perl script sites and they seem dead, Perl seems a dying language. So what language are they mostly written in nowadays?14:22
cfhowlettMississauga, python14:22
arubiduring the install, i get a "integrity test failed" cfhowlett14:22
arubitried two different usb sticks, tried with unetbootin, tried dd14:23
arubithe md5 sums of the iso are correct every time14:23
ActionParsnipMississauga: perl is alive and well14:23
TJ-arubi: Sounds like a USB port problem... can you connect the USB device to a different bus/port on the PC?14:23
arubiTJ-, i tried two sticks, with two different comps14:24
DeviadI need to create 100 MySQL databases, is there a script for this?14:24
cfhowlettarubi, so you're getting error messages?  USB port issues?  test the iso in virtualbox?14:24
nuernapm1, and not runing14:24
TJ-arubi: sometimes under-powered hubs (even internal ones) can cause spurious data glitches especially on bulk writes to storage devices14:24
arubiTried verifying files on two different comps as well14:24
arubino hubs, straight to the mobo14:24
TJ-arubi: That is weird then!14:24
apm1nuern, no idea what you could do then sorry14:24
arubiCan anyone download the iso and verify? it takes about 10 - 15 mins for the whole process14:25
nuernapm1, no problem14:25
TJ-arubi: Is the device you're installing to, one of the devices you used to download/write the ISO images ?14:25
MonkeyDustarubi  server, you say? there's also #ubuntu-server14:25
TJ-arubi: I'm wondering if the installation PC has memory parity errors14:26
arubiTJ-, no. installing from usb to hjd14:26
arubiran memtest86+14:26
arubiall is fine14:26
cfhowlettarubi, torrent is definitely the way to go14:26
arubiHD SMART reports 100% health, but that doesn't mean anything since install hasn't started yet14:26
TJ-arubi: And the integrity test fails checking the installation media?14:26
arubitorrent should be done in a few minutes14:26
nuernActionParsnip, hmm dont know when i run wine <executable> it works when i run it with optirun  wine <executable> it crushes14:27
arubii'll try #ubuntu-server if this doesn't work. Thanks for all the input guys14:27
nuernActionParsnip, even if i use <optirun bash then wine14:27
ActionParsnipNuern: not sure. I think optimus is a nasty hack and is to be avoided14:27
grahamsavagehey.. i have a vm and disk IO is awful.. like really really slow14:27
nuernActionParsnip, ;)14:28
TJ-arubi: have you run a md5sum against the contents of the USB storage device itself? That should match the ISO md5sum. It'll take a while over USB2, but about the only thing left you've not checked.14:28
grahamsavagebut the metrics i'm getting back say only 37.6% utilization14:28
arubiI haven't actually TJ-14:28
grahamsavageis there a command i can run to get some useful indiciation of IO performance14:28
ActionParsnipgrahamsavage: what OS is the host and guest?14:28
apm1grahamsavage, vt-x enabled in the bios ?14:28
MonkeyDustgrahamsavage  vmware or virtualbox? linux vm or windows vm?14:28
TJ-arubi: Give it a shot... because you've done everything else we'd recommend!14:28
arubiHow do I get md5sum to run over the whole stick?14:28
grahamsavagenote IOtop: shows that i'm writing between  0 and 500kbs14:28
ActionParsnipgrahamsavage: what virtualization technology are you using?14:28
grahamsavagebut it doesn't show me that the IO is incredibly slow14:29
MonkeyDustgrahamsavage  take your eyes off your keyboard and read the question on the screen14:29

xubzI need some help configuring a live USB of Ubuntu 12.0414:33
MonkeyDustAgent86  how can we help you?14:33
lotuspsychje!usb | xubz14:33
ubottuxubz: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent14:33
ActionParsnipXubz: configuring in what way?14:33
Agent86sorry wrong channel I'm workin on python code, sorry about that.14:33
xubzI configured my USB drive using a tool name Universal USB Installer v 1.9.514:34
Agent86I'm guessing you mean a live OS of ubuntu on flash or USB, that is done easily in the dash panel there is a feature for startup,14:34
TJ-How do I install the KDE desktop as an alternative, is it "apt-get install kde-desktop" ?14:35
xubzConfigure as in creating a live Ubuntu USB drive14:35
MonkeyDustTJ-  kubuntu-desktop, or plasma14:35
xubzSure, Live OS, if that's what you prefer14:35
Agent86ok, 12.04 if you still have unity on that version then hit the super key to bring up the dash and search startup14:35
TJ-MonkeyDust: Ahhh, of course! Here's hopinh KDE can handle the multiple X screens :)14:35
ActionParsnipKj: i believe plasma-desktop does it, or you can install the full kubuntu with kubuntu-desktop14:35
xubzSo, I configured it all well and good using the free windows tool14:36
ActionParsnipXubz: so, where is the issue?14:36
Agent86there is a startup disk creator to make your live usb, however make sure you have a download of the iso from the ubuntu site that you want to use for the live cd14:36
Agent86i actually turned my phone into a live cd so I can diag peoples crap if their drive fails or they need to retreive data off their windows drive because their drive is failing etc.14:36
xubzBut then I ran an MD5 check on the configured USB drive, and it showed me an error suggesting the "casper/filesystem.squashfs" might have been copied incorrectly14:37
Agent86plug in the phone and BOOM ubuntu boots up to live usb OS on my smart phone as usb device lol14:37
Agent86don't install the iso on the usb drive put the iso on the computer then check it first14:38
ActionParsnipXubz: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the USB?14:38
xubzI thought the tool must be copying it wrong, so I copied the "casper/filesystem.squashfs" file using xcopy on Windows and passed the "-V" switch to make sure that everything is copying fine14:38
Agent86then let the ubuntu startup creator install the iso , and be sure to erase the drive to let ubuntu format it properly cause some formated drives won't work14:38
xubzIt copied without giving any error, ran the MD5 scan again, and still the same error suggesting "casper/filesystem.squashfs" has copied incorrectl14:39
ActionParsnipXubz: once you verified the ISO boot to unetbootin and point it to the ISO14:39
xubzI did the MD5 test on the ISO, and it's correct14:40
xubzd1c5676ae7ac98e8b19f63565905105e3c4c37a2 *ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso14:40
ActionParsnipxubz: ok then use unetbootin14:40
xubzThe ISO completely matches this SHA1 signature14:40
xubzWhat is unetbootin?14:41
ActionParsnipXubz: why not use the web to find out.....14:41
imghost!unetbootin14:41

* cfhowlett installed debian and running ubuntu? 14:48
shagelitowell i letf w8 for less than a month. I choosed to instal debian on my hard drive in dual boot. Installed the image downloaded from the official debian website. Today, i tryed to resolve broken lib dependency. I asked for help in #debain, and i learned that i asnt runing a deian machine, but a ubuntu one. So i switched to the right chanel and here i am ! Just would like to get some help to know what went wrong14:48
ActionParsnipPloppz: sudo apt-get update ,updates your system's knowledge of available packages and their versions14:49
MonkeyDustshagelito  what's the output of    cat /etc/issue14:49

MonkeyDustPloppz  medibuntu non longer exists14:50
shagelitowell thats weird as i just added some kali repo. your command returned me this : Kali GNU/Linux 1.0 \n \l14:50
PloppzWell, the thing is that I have virtual box 1 and the newest is 4, yet the system tells me I have the newest version14:50

shagelitoMonkeyDust: but, as i didnt performed such install. Can you tell me why the hell i am running this distro ?14:53
MonkeyDustshagelito  no, my advice: backup personal / important files and install the distro of your choice14:53
shagelitoMonkeyDust: sure ill do this. But do you have an idea of what could have generate the problem ?14:54
shagelitoMonkeyDust: as i only add the repo on my source list14:54
shagelitoMonkeyDust: no way to switch back, just like it did from Debian to Kali ?14:55

kostkonasad2005, disable the sound for the warning and/or error events in sound settings -> sound effects16:11

onetinsoldierjoe_b: i thought i remembered it being Esc16:23
glitsj16asad2005: strange that you don't have accessability settings, but you might try checking those settings by using dconf-editor and doing a find on 'sticky'16:23
joe_bDo you want the grub console or a normal command prompt?16:23
onetinsoldierjoe_b: i was actually asking, in order to try and help someone, who left when they didn't get an answer they were looking for16:24
joe_bOk.16:25
joe_bAnyone else had trouble with kernels 3.11.0-{13,14}?16:25
joe_bUsing either of those I get a hard lockup within 24 hours.  I reverted to 3.11.0-12 2 days, 11:06 hours ago and haven't had any trouble since.16:26
onetinsoldieri'd recommend sticking with what works16:26
joe_bSince it was a kernel lockup I can't provide any log or further info, so I don't know if I should file a bug?, thoughts?16:26
joe_bWell sure, but I worry it will cause issues for other folk who may not be comfortable enough with ubuntu to say "oh, well I know this kernel worked, so I'll just revert to that".16:27

[Gentoo]joe_b: blacklisting them if you dont use kvm wont hurt either way16:43

contractor99just curiosity to see what the reactions are :-)16:45
contractor99from these polls16:45
[Gentoo]i would guess more people use gnome if its out of them 2 and on any distro16:45

perohtHi, I've got a base system, harddrive A which only has linux installed (ubuntu 12.04). I recently removed that harddrive and plugged in a new harddrive, B, on which i installed a dual boot system (ubuntu 13.10/win7). I now want to put disk A back again and make it possible to dual/tripple-boot. I am not 100% sure which startup files I should edit. Assistance welcome.17:25

papa_How would I do that? I am only using the english language on ti too17:27
mike-irssiperoht: i would try live cd and then install boot-repair17:28
papa_Calinou I figured it out17:28
papa_thank you17:28
Anuska[Gentoo] yes but if i close the terminal how i re-enter in program? without kill17:28
[Gentoo]Anuska: dont kno what you mean17:29
papa_Only other issue I have is when  I set a favorite on the desktop from a website i can only open it in firefox not chromium17:29
[Gentoo]Anuska: run tmux, run weechat, press ctrl + b then d to detach tmux (do what you like, log out, whatever) tmux will stay running, enter any terminal and run tmux attach to get back to tmux with weechat running17:29
perohtmike-irssi: thnks, i will check that out.17:29
mike-irssiperoht: or just install-grub17:30

MonkeyDustAnuska  or !screen17:30

[Gentoo]Anuska: thats the special key, you have to press d after17:31
[Gentoo]to detach17:31
[Gentoo]MonkeyDust: everyone i know prefers tmux why would you use screen over tmux17:31
MonkeyDust[Gentoo]  because I don't know everyone you know and because I'm used to screen17:32
[Gentoo]i was gona say except if you're used to screen17:32

bowser4hi folks, i have a fairly fresh install of 13.10 (my first foray into ubuntu) but after doing a sudo apt-get -f install as recommended by a package i was installing (cant remember which one) it no longer boots as before, it boots to my desktop and thats it - no log on, no menu's etc - I can right click but thats all. Have I broken something?17:44
awktion_bowser4: does alt+f2 open a box?17:45
awktion_if so run gnome-terminal17:45
glitsj16nashant: i'm with awktion .. no clue what could be wrong running with www17:45
bowser4oooh didnt know that, will try. as sudo?17:45
awktion_na17:45
nashantI'll check www-data17:46
awktion_you're looking for a file - .xsession-errors or so17:46
bowser4if it does, assuming gnome-terminal will give me a bash terminal, how should I look to fix it>17:46
bowser4?17:46
awktion_it should tell you what went wrong with the gui launch17:46
bowser4ok17:47
awktion_you mgiht also try installing ubuntu-desktop (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)17:47
awktion_this is a catch-all 'metapackage'17:47
bowser4lovely. I shall try, many thanks asktion17:47
awktion_a metapackage is one that has no real content itself, but pulls in a bunch of other packages as 'recommended installs' or 'recommends'17:47
bowser4awktion17:47
bowser4sorry17:47
awktion_so package a depends on b c d, so if you install package a, it will pull in b c d on its own17:48
bowser4ok thanks17:48
awktion_so ubuntu-desktop is the package that is in a typical 'gnome' based install17:48
awktion_kubuntu-desktop for kde and so forth17:48
awktion_once in a while when installing a package its dependancies will rip out something else inside ubuntu-desktop17:49
awktion_then if there are any issues, the upgraded package(s) might not be re-installed, which can leave you broken17:49
awktion_pulling in the desktop package can help with some of that, sometimes you will get an error which is telling for the next step17:49
awktion_anyway i'm out before the ops can ban me for distributing more truth ;P17:50

cGullI want a live 12.04 put on a usb stick, i want that to be persistant. I was wondering about file-systems when burning the iso's onto the usb. I  have a 64GB stick and most programs like UUI wants to format it to FAT32. But when formating it through windows it says FAT32 isn't supporting that size and that i should use exFAT. I've gotten some errors17:56
cGull when trying to get this to work, could it have something to do with my usb size and filesystems ?17:56
daftykinscGull: yes FAT32 can't handle greater than ~40GB odd17:58
MonkeyDustcGull  are you in windows now?17:58
varunendrashadow98, if you have a virtual machine, boot it with the Ubuntu ISO and use the inbuilt "Startup Disk Creator" to create the Live USB17:58
daftykinsyou could split your drive into two17:58

daftykinsyeah i know18:00
mike-irssicGull: I've used ntfs for live cd, can't recall the software--but instead of using the whole stick why not partition.. right click my computer and then manage18:01

daftykinscGull: no.18:02
cGullor find a iso burner that supports another file system.18:03
cGullah ok18:03
varunendracGull, you can simply create a small FAT partition for the live system, then you can either place the casper-rw file on the larger partition (exFAT) or create a whole partition named "casper-rw" for persistence18:04
cGullvarunendra: thanks, i'll look into that right now! I'm not very comfortable with linux yet but i'm learning ^^18:05
varunendraoh, cGull I never tried putting casper-rw file on a separate partition myself (I prefer a separate partition itself), so can't say if it'll work18:05
varunendracGull, do you have gparted installed?18:06
varunendrait is already available on the live media18:06
cGullvarunendra: nope, never heard of it, i'm looking at win7 partition manager right now18:06
varunendrawhatever does the job :)18:06
cGullthanks guys, this give me just enough hope to keep going18:07
krishhai guys18:08
krishwhat are you all doing18:08
varunendracGull, I don't think it is difficult, although some flash drive model/brands themselves can be a challange sometimes.18:08
cGullif it was that my usb stick was too large and that has caused the weird problems, that's so silly i'll laugh if i can fix it :)18:09
varunendracGull, you can have one FAT partition of the size of "Live CD/DVD + persistent space", and rest whatever you want. Or you can have the FAT partition only large enough to hold the live CD's contents, then a partition for persistence (as large as you wish), and rest a third partition for normal data sharing. This always works for me.18:12
cGullvarunendra: cool, i'm also looking into gparted now18:13
varunendracGull, that will have the advantage of being able to create linux partition (if you decide to create a separate "casper-rw" partition for persistence) :)18:15
cGullvarunendra: nice, i'm not sure how i'd do all this but it's a good first step18:16

[Gentoo]other than for tor19:30
thisI did apt-remove purge and reinstalled it. I think it was not the official repo. I had to apt-something wit ppa(?) before installing it.19:30
[Gentoo]yeah19:30
[Gentoo]sounds like possibly a dodgy package19:30
glitsj16intrader: lspci -k | egrep 'VGA|use' | grep VGA -A 1 should show you the present driver in use .. and try the 'sensors' command to see if nouveau shows you gpu temp19:31
thisGentoo: I use firefox. But would like to have a tor-browser for some things.19:31
[Gentoo]this: download it from tor website19:31

[Gentoo]yes19:50
ActionParsnipThis: are you from Switzerland?19:51
[Gentoo]SchrodingersScat: thats different from someone using tor as a client19:51
thisOur ISPs log and save all my connections for 6 months. I just dislike that. That is why I use tor. Nothing more nothing less.19:51
thisSwitzerland, yes19:51
[Gentoo]this: its none of our business why you use it..19:51
mourtus_hello19:52
thisActionParsnip: Not using tor now.19:52
SchrodingersScat[Gentoo]: but you were saying something about no one should run exit nodes19:52
ActionParsnipThis: just checking19:52
[Gentoo]SchrodingersScat: no, no one wants to because of the abuse19:52
mourtus_i am loking for help19:52
[Gentoo]SchrodingersScat: of course you can sort of limit with ips / ports for exits19:52
ActionParsnipThis: you still havent said why you dislike it...19:52

ActionParsnipmourtus_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24916/how-do-i-remap-certain-keys19:55

mourtus_thanks19:56
ActionParsnipThis: so, paranoia then.19:56
imghostthis, are sure using tor is completely safe?19:56
ActionParsnipThis: you been accessing the web long?19:56
onetinsoldierthis: i know what you mean. is it me that's paranoid? or the government's NSA?19:57
thisI already used the net when only univierities and porn where online. So yes, I'm using it for a long time now19:57
onetinsoldierwhere's my bailout?19:58
Richhhthanks glitsj1619:58
ActionParsnipThis: so there wil have been a long time you didnt use tor, right?19:58
MonkeyDustthis  the moment you pay with your card, people know where and what you have been buying19:59
imghostthis,but i think by observing your traffic one cand find you19:59
MonkeyDustthis  Facebook even has your GPS data19:59
imghostcan20:00
thisActionParsnip: True. But at that time, the ISP dind not log all my connections. Nowadays they do it 'cause the are forcerd to by gouvernment. Times have changed.20:00
glitsj16Richhh: just test those i'd say, you might loose some functionality compared to firefox if you had add-ons running in that, but if it overheats i don't think you've got many options .. or go really overboard and look into using a terminal browser, goodluck20:00
thisI' dont use Facebook, I use only cash.20:00
thisParanoid I say.20:00
[Gentoo]imghost: no, with tor you have to be extra careful with stuff like filling out forms, you dont want to do anything with personal info through tor20:00
ActionParsnipThis: they did, and do. Its to observe criminal actibity20:00
onetinsoldierthis: you sound like me.. cash20:00
[Gentoo]imghost: it doesnt protect you from that20:00
Anuska:((((20:01
[Gentoo]facebook is ridiculous for privacy20:01

xubzHello20:02
xubzJust 12.3 MB left for OS usage20:02

MonkeyDust[Gentoo]  yes, copied from a buffer, before you even press enter20:02
xubzPlease help in mounting  "/cow" successfully :/20:02
[Gentoo]xubz: what is it20:02
imghostis it possible to trace a call that comes from a blocked caller id?20:03
ActionParsnipThis: in short. There are lots of wrblogs right from when you started using the web but you used it uncloaked, you didnt die and nothing bad happened. Why the change?20:03
ActionParsnipimghost: yes, the connection is still logged20:03
xubzI'm on a Ubuntu Live OS using usb and persistent storage20:03
thisActionParsnip: Why the change? Times change.20:03
xubzUbuntu is not accepting the "casper -rw" partition as valid20:03
mourtus_i want to know the information about a key in xev fonction but the key dont work at all there another way20:03
imghostActionParsnip, can you tell how can i see it?yesterday i got missed call from my own number20:04
onetinsoldierActionParsnip: you might want to find out what a Central Banking is about, and Quantitative Easing(QE) with the world's "reserve currency", but enough  of off-topic for now. we can take it to the off-topic channel if you would like20:04
xubzWhenever I try to browse the persistent partition, it show me the error - "Could not find "/cow""20:04
[Gentoo]xubz: sounds like you need a bigger drive20:04
[Gentoo]i knowi m stating the obvious20:04
xubzHow big?20:04
* Anuska :(((((20:04
ActionParsnipimghost: its only accessible by the caller or the feds20:05
[Gentoo]xubz: how big is your usb?20:05
xubzThe persistent partition is 512 MB big20:05
Anuskahi, i try to install video card ( ati ) on my ubuntu 12.4 and not work :((20:05
[Gentoo]xubz: thats tiny20:05
xubzThe USB is 8 GB20:05
[Gentoo]xubz: well youd want at least couple of gb to be safe running20:05
[Gentoo]if you only have 12mb left20:05
imghostActionParsnip, ok :)20:05
ActionParsnipThis: you are fighting nothing. Im fairly sure you arent even sure what you are afraid of :-)20:05
xubzHow to make a runtime partition?20:05
[Gentoo]xubz: do you have a hard disk in your pc?20:06
mourtus_i need know the information about a key in xev fonction but the key dont work at all there another way20:06
xubzOr how to edit that partition to utilize the remaining free space on the USB drive?20:06
ActionParsnipXubz: removing old kernels helps free space if that is the issue20:06
xubzYes, I have a HDD20:06
onetinsoldierActionParsnip: oh, i think he knows20:06
xubzTwo partitions, one has Windows 8, the other is for Sotrage purposes20:06
[Gentoo]xubz: you'd probably be better of dual booting if its of a decent size and you run another oS20:06
xubz*Storage20:06
[Gentoo]xubz: or youll be fighting for free space with that USB forever20:07
xubzI can only afford a LIVE OS20:07
xubzRight now20:07
ActionParsnipXubz: moving /var, /tmp and /home to a platter based storage can help lengthen the flash storages life20:07
xubzSo, I should move "var", "tmp" and "home" directories to my Storage drive?20:08
[Gentoo]not literally move20:08
[Gentoo]or they wont be read20:08
xubzThen?20:08
xubzCopy?20:08
[Gentoo]try fstab mounting them20:08
[Gentoo]but20:09
[Gentoo]what a mess20:09
xubzYou'll need to explain me the process20:09
[Gentoo]lol20:09
xubzlol20:09
[Gentoo] /tmp i wouldnt bother with in normal use thatd take up kilobytes20:09
[Gentoo] /home might take some space20:09
[Gentoo]or make tmp a tmpfs in fstab20:09
thisActionParsnip: You still didn't get it. Nevermind. Maybe you just have a lesser concept of privacy and freedom than I have.20:10
xubzI can spare close to 3 GB on my Storage drive for Ubuntu live20:10
onetinsoldierthis: can i msg you?20:10
thisonetinslodier: yes try it. I'll wait and see what happens...20:11
[Gentoo]xubz: seriously for any comfortable use you'll need another drive with some actual space on it20:12

SchrodingersScatGuest23006: so it's a permissions problem right? because you're in a liveCD?20:48
Guest23006yes20:49
jhutchinsucenik: Do you know if you're running unity or gnome?20:49
ucenikim running unity 2D, as far as i know20:49
SchrodingersScatGuest23006: i'm not an expert, but i would then try to cp it with sudo, then change the owner to your owner, etc.20:49
Guest23006how can I do that ?20:49
nashantgeirha: ah, right20:49
nashantgood point20:49
jhutchinscp doesn't copy recursively by default.20:50
jhutchinsman cp20:50
onetinsoldierGuest23006: sudo cp /media/ubuntu/89ac251e-17c6-4c47-b17b-1ebb03a61149/home/etje/.mozilla /home/20:50
ucenikbekks, i dotn want to change whole theme just to change to random mouse pointer.20:50
Guest23006that is what I have done20:50
Guest23006but nothing20:50
ucenikjhutchins,  i am in unity 2d20:50
SchrodingersScatGuest23006: nothing? not even an error? then it worked?20:50
Guest23006this is the error20:51
onetinsoldierGuest23006: what jhutchins said... so  sudo cp -R /media/ubuntu/89ac251e-17c6-4c47-b17b-1ebb03a61149/home/etje/.mozilla /home/20:51
Guest23006cp: omitting directory `/media/ubuntu/89ac251e-17c6-4c47-b17b-1ebb03a61149/home/etje/.mozilla'20:51
uceniki know older versions had theme and mouse tweaking. gcursour doesnt do anything20:51
SchrodingersScatGuest23006: oh, right, -R recursive add the -R20:51
Guest23006what -R stand for ?20:51
SchrodingersScatGuest23006: -R, -r, --recursive <--in the man pages 'man cp'20:52
Guest23006not I try to open firefox and I get20:52
Guest23006your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible20:52
ucenikGuest23006,  what exactly you want to do?20:53
SchrodingersScatGuest23006: sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu ~/.mozilla # maybe?20:53
FourFireOk, nevermind, I figured it out for myself20:53
Guest23006like I thought you said that I need to copy .mozilla to home and then open firefox so I can export the bookmarks20:53
onetinsoldierGuest23006: after doing the  recursive copy, you will probably need to change the ownership of the copied .mozilla directory and all the file within itto that of you new/current user20:54
ucenikarent your bookmarks stored in folder that you can access from live cd?20:54
BeldarGuest23006, You can just use the whole file20:54
intraderglitsj16: perhaps running gnome will do it; what do you think/20:54
Guest23006yes but how20:54
SchrodingersScati think that's the default user of liveOS anyway...20:54
Guest23006I am not an expert20:54
Guest23006my bookmarks are stored in the harddrive which I deleted the grub by mistake20:54
Guest23006but I can still accesing the files20:55
SchrodingersScatGuest23006: sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) ~/.mozilla # maybe?20:55
ucenikyou can restore grub20:55
BeldarGuest23006, If FF is installed delete the one there and use this folder, if this is to kali it is root I believe so may not be the same is all.20:55
Guest23006nothing schrodingerscat20:55
Guest23006I receive nothing20:55
bekksGuest23006: that command doesnt return anything.20:55
Guest23006Im using ubuntu live cd20:55
SchrodingersScatGuest23006: and reopening firefox did nothing?20:55
Guest23006not bekks20:55
Guest23006yes it is still appearing20:55
Guest23006your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible20:56
Guest23006when I try to open it20:56
onetinsoldieryou closed firefox and reopened it?20:56
ucenikhttp://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ Guest23006  and log in into your installation.20:56
Guest23006yes sir20:56
onetinsoldierafter the 'chown' command?20:56
SchrodingersScatGuest23006: I would check the folder then, see if you can learn anything, like look at the permissions and owner. also check that you didn't accidentally copy a .mozilla folder into your .mozilla folder.20:56
onetinsoldierokay20:56
Guest23006I checked but nothing20:57
Lothhi20:57
onetinsoldierLoth: hello20:57
LothHow stop like spam? http://nedman.fsdascmcvmqgdjhfserha.info/antvrs/#20:57
glitsj16intrader: well, you can try another desktop environment, but i'd go for something less taxing on the GPU, so i'm not sure if gnome-shell would be an improvement .. try xfce or lxde i'd say ... but in general there's something fundamentally off with your gpu, untill you succeed in tracking that down i believe the overheating issue will keep re-appearing20:57
nashantHey guys. Need a little help with apache. For some reason it's not letting me move my web root. If I use /var/www it works fine, if I use /data/www/%site%/public_html it works not. I've replicated the ownerships and permissions, and the full path is executable by the apache user. but still no love. Any ideas?20:57
bekksGuest23006: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data20:57
Guest23006I receive20:58
Guest23006you do not have the permission necessary to view the contents of ".mozilla"20:58
Guest23006when I try to open the file I copied20:58
MadkissActionParsnip: what on earth are you talking about?20:58
Guest23006I mean I love ubuntu but I am dying slowly here20:58
LothIm in chromium + adblock but he no stop this adv http://nedman.fsdascmcvmqgdjhfserha.info/antvrs/#20:58
Guest23006I just need the bookmarks :S20:59
Lothwhy?20:59
glitsj16intrader: or try the fallback options from the login manager when you log out, depending on your exact ubuntu version there should be something like unity-2d or named similar20:59
bekksGuest23006: then look at the /media/ubuntu/..... location, to find your bookmarks.20:59
jhutchinsGuest23006: So fix the permissions.20:59
MadkissActionParsnip: I mean http://releases.ubuntu.com/saucy/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso20:59
ActionParsnipGuest23006: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.mozilla20:59
intraderglitsj16: nouveau must be using it also - I wish it had the sensor for gpu temp20:59
Guest23006where it says20:59
ActionParsnipMadkiss: grab the amd64 ISO and it will work, you dont need the mac bit20:59
Guest23006$user $user20:59
Guest23006do I change something ?20:59
BeldarLoth, use the noscript variation.20:59
glitsj16intrader: that last option doesn't need anything newly installed and should show if that changes anything pretty much immediately20:59
Guest23006how do I fix the permission ?21:00
bekksGuest23006: you replace it with your actual username you are currently using.21:00
ActionParsnipGuest23006: run the command as I gave it, it will work21:00
bekksah ok.21:00
Guest23006I did21:00
Guest23006but nothing happen brother21:00
glitsj16intrader: what does the 'sensors' command output? paste that somewhere if you want21:00
MadkissActionParsnip: I just did that, and got to exactly the same place I had been to before21:00
ActionParsnipBekks: no need, $USER is your username of the person running command. Try: echo $USER21:00
onetinsoldierGuest23006: ls -ld .mozilla    ...what do you get?21:01
bekksActionParsnip: sudo echo $USER would be more interesting :)21:01
MadkissActionParsnip: I get a warning that the installation couldn't install grun, and then I get redirected into the Grub menu21:01
jhutchinsNotice the difference between $user and $USER21:01
Madkisswhich tells me it can not find its configuration file21:01
ActionParsnipMadkiss: could boot to liveCD, chroot to the installed OS and manually install Grub to the MBR21:01
intraderglitsj16: about the 'A' option: grep: option requires an argument -- 'A'21:01
MadkissActionParsnip: what would be the MBR target?21:01
Guest23006okay when I do ls -ld .mozilla21:02
Guest23006I get21:02
Guest23006d--------- 4 ubuntu ubuntu 80 Dec 15 19:24 .mozilla21:02
Guest23006that it is what I get21:02
BeldarLoth, clear your cookies and history, that link is blocked in noscript here.21:02
ActionParsnipMadkiss /dev/sda is common, whatever your drive is called21:02
onetinsoldierGuest23006: ahh-ha!21:02
Guest23006:) did find something ?21:02
onetinsoldieryes21:02
Guest23006heureca ?21:02
glitsj16intrader: is that from the 'sudo lspci -k | egrep 'VGA|use' | grep VGA -A 1' command? the 1 is the argument..21:03
Guest23006nice21:03
onetinsoldierGuest23006: chmod ug+rw .mozilla21:03
intraderglitsj16: ah, lol, I mmissed it21:03
onetinsoldierGuest23006: oops21:03
onetinsoldierGuest23006: chmod ug+rwx .mozilla21:03
ActionParsnipBekks: why? Sudo uses your user's profile so sudo echo $USER will output the same as echo $USER21:03
glitsj16intrader: no worries21:03
ucenikcan someone tell me how to change mouse theme in ubuntu 12.04 unity2D? coz i cant find it and everything i find on internet includes terminal21:04
MadkissActionParsnip: grub-install /dev/sda doesn't work and returns "can not install grub"21:04
onetinsoldierGuest23006: then close out firefox and try again21:04
ucenikbut i want to use comicsand cursors for lefthand21:04

onetinsoldierGuest23006: cheers. enjoy21:05
intraderglitsj16: ah, lol, I mmissed it; without the last grep I can also see it - the list is not too long21:05
Guest23006onetinsoldier21:05
Guest23006can I ask you something21:05
ActionParsnipGuest23006: permissions are important, as are owners.21:05
Guest23006can you explain me what did happen ?21:05
Guest23006and what was the problem ?21:05
MadkissActionParsnip: sda is the flash drive, yes.21:05
Guest23006thank you actionparnsip for your help too21:05
ActionParsnipGuest23006: the folder had nobody allowed to access it so the Firefox process couldnt launch21:05
Guest23006ouh okay21:06
ActionParsnipMadkiss: is there any protection on it in a hardware sense?21:06
Guest23006what a shame21:06
glitsj16intrader: what does 'ls -lh /usr/share/xsessions/' output? that should give me a clue on what other sessiàon you might try21:06
Guest23006can you explain me what then chmod ug+rwx .mozilla21:06
Guest23006did ?21:06
glitsj16*session21:06
Guest23006to .mozilla ?21:06
ActionParsnipGuest23006: not hard to fix21:06
ActionParsnipGuest23006: firefox, not mozila21:06
ActionParsnipGuest23006: read: man chmod21:07
intraderglitsj16: thanks for your help; I keep on searching for gpu overheating problem on lenovo t61p21:07
MadkissActionParsnip: I don't think so.21:07
Guest23006thank you21:07
Guest23006one question more21:07
ActionParsnipMadkiss: if you chroot from liveCD and get updated, does it help?21:07
david__Guest23006 chmod 77721:07
glitsj16intrader: yes i've tried looking with that t61p as well but nothing usefull yet21:07
Guest23006everything is cooll21:07
Guest23006but I can still not find the firefox bookmarks21:08
bekksdavid__: chmod ug+rwx is 770 not 777.21:08
ActionParsnipdavid__: please do the community a favour and never advise 77721:08
Guest23006david21:08

Guest23006explain me21:08
Guest23006chmod 777 ?21:08
Guest23006what does it mean ?21:08
FloodBot1Guest23006: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.21:08
david__sorry21:08
bekksGuest23006: No. Dont run that.21:08
Guest23006a okay  but  just for interest21:09
ActionParsnipGuest23006: the web will tell you. Its very simple21:09
bekksGuest23006: It is explained in "man chmod".21:09
Guest23006what does it mean21:09
Guest23006a okay21:09
Guest23006that is okay21:09
david__the permision user and group is 77021:09
Guest23006but now I cannot find the firefox bookmark21:09
david__in order to fin you can more commands21:10
onetinsoldierGuest23006: it means that it made the directory , readable, writeable, and executable, for the "owner" and "group" of the directory21:10
ucenikhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/218450/firefox-bookmarks-in-the-ubuntu-files-system21:11
Guest23006that is perfect21:11
Guest23006thank you I already understand21:11
onetinsoldierGuest23006: okay, cool21:11
Guest23006now that we gained access to .mozilla21:11
Guest23006I would like to know where the bookmarks are stored ?21:11
bekksGuest23006: Please read the link given.21:12
onetinsoldieri think in a .json file?21:12
bekksGuest23006: http://askubuntu.com/questions/218450/firefox-bookmarks-in-the-ubuntu-files-system21:12
bekksonetinsoldier: No, it is an xml most likely, no json.21:12
onetinsoldierbekks: okay, thank you21:12
ucenik:(21:12
ActionParsnipCould switch to Chrome, all bookmarks stored on the cloud. Easys21:13
onetinsoldieronetinsoldier@pikes-peak:~/.mozilla$ find -name *.json -print21:13
onetinsoldier./firefox/lm4vx022.default/bookmarkbackups/bookmarks-2013-12-13_10.json21:13
bekksonetinsoldier: "The bookmarks are actually stored in bookmarks.html if you just want that."21:14
onetinsoldierlloks like it could be .json files to me. i had a number of them. they have the word "bookmarks" as part of the filename21:14
ActionParsniponetinsoldier: could use -iname instead, no case sensitivity then :-)21:14
bekksonetinsoldier: Those json files are backups.21:14
onetinsoldierbekks: roger. when you back them up using firefox, you are given a choice, as .json or as html21:14
glitsj16intrader: there's a very nice tool to share information on IRC called pastebinit, if you install that you could provide the channel with the url you get after use .. eases the communication here .. i'm interested in some outputs to get you to have gpu temp readings at least, and to advise on other session options .. take your time and tell me if you have that installed21:15
onetinsoldierbekks: i have backed them up  using firefox before and selected .json... and then used the  .json file to restore in a brand new install. just sayin'21:15
glitsj16!pastebinit | intrader21:16
ubottuintrader: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com21:16

ucenikdarkelfjuggalo, "sudo apt-get remove" i think, but not sure21:19
darkelfjuggaloI installed it command line from repository [Command line is easer than the software center for me, it freezes on me too much]21:19
ActionParsnipucenik: tried using unity tweak tool21:19

SteveBell1hi all. having issues configuring samba under ubuntu21:22
SteveBell1I managed to setup a sharing folder via terminal21:23
SteveBell1but can't get the ex hdd setup correctly21:23
david_hm94Hey?21:23
ActionParsnipStevebell1: is the external partition NTFS by any chance?21:24
SteveBell1Hi ActionParsnip no it's ext 4 or 3 but ext for sure21:24
ActionParsnipStevebell1 ok good that makes things a whole lot wasier21:24
Guest23006ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ chmod ug+rwx .mozilla21:24
Guest23006chmod: changing permissions of `.mozilla': Operation not permitted21:24
ucenikActionParsnip, can you suggest a way to install proper version of unity tweak tool for ubuntu 12.0421:24
ucenikalso, my head is starting to hurt and i wanna curse at people who made it so hard to do something as simple as changing mouse theme21:25
Guest23006ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ chmod ug+rwx .mozilla21:25
Guest23006chmod: changing permissions of `.mozilla': Operation not permitted21:25
Guest23006I get this :S21:25
Guest23006now21:25
SteveBell113.10 here. and says samba (gui) is installed but does not show under software. when I enter samba in dash and select programs I see the samba gui but when clicking on that ubuntu software center opens21:25
nashantI've just run htop and it looks like I've got 7 apache processes running. 1 as root and 6 as www. Does this sound right?21:26
koelli never understand those ppl changing their mouse theme. doesnt matter21:26
onetinsoldierucenik: been a long time since I installed a downloaded mouse cursor theme. i have done it before, but it was a lot of headache before i finally achieved success, so i kinda know what you mean. however, it is free software. you  could always code a new user-friendly method! ;-)21:26
SteveBell1I can then select to install but install does not begin nor finish21:26
aiseyHi, how to switch ( settings ) ext graphic/ inter. graphic21:28
ucenikonetinsoldier true, but how with all the stuff done with linux and ubuntu people who code stuff cant make a simple official way to change mouse theme21:28
ActionParsnipUcenik: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak21:28
glitsj16nashant: looks normal yes, it gets that information from /etc/apache2/apache2.conf --> StartServers, Min/MaxSpareServers and the like to let you configure your apache to accomodate your traffic use21:28
ucenikalso, im lefthanded and i wanna use my right to complain because of discrimination :p even microsoft had nice left had cursors easy to install21:29
intraderglitsj16: thanks for your help; got a lot from 'gpu overheating problem on lenovo t61p' - I wich it had intel graphics21:29
ActionParsnipStevebell1: you can use nautilus to share folders21:29
paul__Is 10.04 outdated?21:29
intraderglitsj16: I don't quite understand why Windows XP on same machine does not overheat!21:29
ActionParsnippaul__: it is not supported on the desktop. It is only supported on the server21:30
paul__I have a lexmark printer that works with the driver for 10.04 but not 12.0421:30
paul__why do I keep getting occasional updates with 10.04?21:30
ActionParsnippaul__: are there any bugs reported?21:30
glitsj16intrader: nice, me neither .. that's why i think you need to make a bug report on it21:30
onetinsoldierucenik: there is actually a linux way to change it that's all set up and not too awful hard once you know it, but installing one is another matter21:30
paul__no how can I report the bug?21:30
nashantglitsj16: The I'm at a complete loss as to why I can't change my web root then21:30
ActionParsnipPaul__: things on the server which are also in the desktop will get updates21:30
ActionParsnippaul__: run: ubuntu-bug cups21:31
SteveBell1ActionParsnip: here's where I'm at: I managed to setup the smb.conf so I now have a folder which I can access from both osx and ubuntu. yey :) - but now I need to setup the ex hdd. any idea how to deal with that?21:31
paul__why do I run that?21:31
paul__where do I run that?21:31
=== black is now known as Guest42106
ActionParsnipStevebell1: then share the folder just like the one you already shared, the method is identical21:32
ActionParsnippaul__: in a terminal.....21:32
paul__ubuntu-bug cups21:32
SteveBell1ActionParsnip: well that would give anybody full read write access to the entire ex hdd not sure if that is ideal21:33
paul__is anyone going to care about the driver not being supported in 12.04?21:33
onetinsoldierucenik: update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme21:33
ActionParsnipStevebell1: the mounted us drive will mount to a folder, share that folder.21:33
SteveBell1so maybe allowing registered users only would be smart21:33
nashantglitsj16 (or anyone): can you see any problems with this VHost? https://gist.github.com/anonymous/797847321:33
ucenikonetinsoldier, something as simple should not require any terminal or indepth knowlage21:33
ActionParsnipStevebell1: you can use samba passwords to grant the access you want21:33
SteveBell1yes but I'm totally unsure which part of the smb.conf what needs to be adjusted21:34
ucenikActionParsnip, i think i made it, i will log off and on to see if its changed21:34
ActionParsnipStevebell1: sudo smbpasswd -a username ,you can then add lines to smb.conf to give rad only, fulll or zero access to a share21:34
gregor3005hi, does anybody use a wiimote with 13.10? when i try to pair with wminput i saw a entry in the log but wminput doesn't close and i cant use the device. i get this line: "input: Nintendo Wiimote as /devices/virtual/input/input25"21:34
ActionParsnipSteveBell1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/658042821:36
Rask01join /C++21:36
ActionParsnipSteveBell1: see how I deny and grant access :-)21:36
ActionParsnipSteveBell1: valid users, invalid users21:36
darshoi tried shutdown -h now and ubuntu doesnt shut down21:37
nashantglitsj16: and error.log https://gist.github.com/anonymous/797851121:37
ActionParsnipdarsho: i thought you said it didnt work, why are you reporting it again?21:37
glitsj16nashant: looks ok, i think you need to take a look at permissions for the stuff you marked as "Not working" ..21:37
gregor3005normally it should create a device /dev/input/js* as i had it with my ps3 controller (replica)21:37
darshoh ow can i fix this21:38
glitsj16nashant: perhaps use http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2185429&highlight=apache+virtual+host+non-default+documentroot as a guide21:38
ActionParsnipDarsho: will you answer my question please? I asked you if the command worked and you said no, then now you are just saying you tried it. Which is it?21:39

phunyguyBen64, yes, and sorry, meant that for #ubuntu-server, but I guess it can't hurt to ask here23:04
Ben64well thats the first drive where you'd normally be booting from23:05
phunyguyI selected /dev/sdd as the device to install to, but it still wants to choose /dev/sda as grub location.23:05
alex8022ya, tried that too.  My problem is that when I resize the virtualbox window, I get a bunch of white space in the window, and the display doesn't change size23:05
phunyguyBen64, in the OS, once booted, that drive IS /dev/sda23:05
phunyguyjust in the installer, it is /dev/sdd for some reason.23:05
trijntjephunyguy: it does? I thought they fixed that, but maybe not for the lts. You can still manually change that during installation iirc23:05
Ben64maybe ask the vbox channel then, alex802223:06
