[00:02] o/ [00:02] Hello [00:02] firmware92: depending on how the script is being called, there may not be a $PATH set. so the system may not know to look in /bin for the date command. same with avconv. you can find the full path by typing: which avconv [00:03] firmware92: as in the full path for the date command is: /bin/date [00:03] is it possible to connect multiplay vlans by trunk to ubuntu and create virtual nics ?

[00:06] Gelos: package ? it's part of the kernel [00:06] firmware92: just start the script with: #!/bin/bash and it will always be called with bash.

Is it the id_rsa or id_rsa.pub that I should backup and put in to my new OS? === Guest35988 is now known as sv503 [00:26] trism cheers! :D [00:26] ubuntu has worked on this machine in the past with no special configurations [00:26] MarGul: You will need both, I believe. [00:26] MarGul: both, but mainly id_rsa ... you can regen a .pub from the private key [00:27] Both [00:28] resizt0r: sounds like a dhcp issue [00:28] MarGul: the .pub file goes in your servers ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file... and your ssh client will use the private portion - id_rsa. [00:29] in my router i have dhcp setup to assign this machine the same IP at all times [00:29] nocterna1: Thanks, I will backup both of them but that was what I figured. Thanks :) [00:30] resizt0r: do you have multiple NIC's on this PC. maybe 'eth0' is no longer the same? [00:31] anyone have an idea why I cannot get access via any service from outside my network? firewall is disabled for testing. ports fowarded. ontop of that, my centOS servers work just fine [00:31] anything I am missing? [00:31] resizt0r: the static ip that you are hoping to achieve should be setup on the machine itself rather than the router [00:32] resizt0r: by this i mean you should modify the Network Settings either through the GUI or by modifying the /etc/network/interfaces file [00:32] Hey guys - i just got ubuntu 13 installed finally and trying to set up 32bit libraries, specifically "ia32-libs" and "ia32-libs-gtk" but apt-get is giving me a major runaround on it about other packages instead, what do i do? [00:33] where is the proper place to add a mime type [00:33] do you edit /etc/apache2/conf.d/mods-available/mime.conf? [00:34] No it only has the onboard NIC built into the motherboard [00:34] AirstrikeIvanov: Can you paste the output? [00:34] http://oi40.tinypic.com/25slzbt.jpg [00:34] this is a pic of my dhcp setup [00:34] karstensrage, depends on the package, are you talking about Apache's mime types? [00:34] resizt0r: if it worked before... then make sure your MAC address is still the same (not that it should change...) [00:35] how would i know if it changed [00:35] resizt0r: but any reason for using DHCP reservation instead of using static IP addresses? [00:35] Static Ip makes more sense [00:36] well last time i had linux installed it was a hassle with changing ip's [00:36] # The loopback network interface [00:36] TheLordOfTime, yes [00:36] auto lo [00:36] iface lo inet loopback [00:36] #The primary network interface [00:36] auto eth0 [00:36] iface eth0 inet static [00:36] AvengerLives: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:36] since the other pc's in the house access files off this pc regularly [00:36] resizt0r: your router DHCP reservation will have the MAC address, on your new livecd boot, type '/sbin/ifconfig' and compare the two entries [00:37] That output was an example /etc/network/interfaces file [00:37] i cant do that when i boot ubuntu [00:37] because it wont connect to the router [00:37] i could copy it down first i guess [00:37] Hello, I've got a Dedicated Server running Ubuntu 13.04 with Remote KVM capability.

[00:40] im currently downloading Ubuntu 13.10 for this testing, does standard ubuntu with unity have better multi-display options than kubuntu/xubuntu? [00:42] does some sort of default route need to be set in the OS [00:42] can't imagine why there would need to be [00:42] everything works fine on my LAN [00:42] zingchan: only if youre using static IP addresses, otherwise your dhcp server will assign it (if you DHCP server is configured correctly). [00:43] I have a static IP setup and my ports fowarded to that IP [00:43] set the ip, netmask and gateway in /etc/network/interfaces [00:43] zingchan: then yes, you have to set a gateway. [00:44] try 'netstat -rn'... you should have one line with a destination of 0.0.0.0 [00:44] yeah, destination 0.0.0.0 to my 10.0.1.1 router IP [00:45] zingchan: and you can ping 10.0.1.1 from this machine? [00:45] yep [00:45] can you ping 8.8.8.8 :) [00:45] everything works fine internally. the minecraft server I can access on the LAN, ssh on the LAN [00:45] pings 8.8.8.8 just fine too [00:45] karstensrage, yeah, I think you might try editing /etc/mime.types first... if that fails, then either mod_mime, or define the mimetype in the site's .htaccess [00:46] zingchan: ok, so routing is good. How did you disable your firewall? [00:46] I shall check my 2811 router configuration for the ports foward and I am not derping up the access list [00:46] sudo dfw disable [00:46] karstensrage, AFAICT it *is* possible to define the mime-type for a specific site alone, and not Apache-wide, by using the .htaccess, with the syntax formatting of: "AddType MIMETYPE .extension" [00:46] sorry, ufw [00:46] karstensrage, (for example: AddType video/quicktime .qt .mov ) [00:47] dunno if this is related, but everytime the server reboots, I need to set a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. [00:48] zingchan: I haven't using linux firewall in 6+ yrs, but what does 'iptables -L -v -n' show [00:48] zingchan: there should be three default chains, all set to policy ACCEPT. [00:49] zingchan: INPORT,FORWARD,OUTPUT I think [00:49] all are set to accept [00:49] zingchan: based on your need to reset a nameserver, i believe you have a conflicting process and interfaces file; i.e. your Network Manager might be trying to manage your network and overriding your interfaces and resolv.conf files [00:50] what port is your minecraft running on? [00:50] There are a few articles concerning this resolv issue on Google [00:50] zingchan: do a 'netstat -nat | grep ' [00:50] usually I have 3 running, ports 25535, 25575, and 25585.

Please, can someone tell me is there a way to replace the default content? [00:57] and if not, I am a complete idiot :P but I did check that first [00:58] Question... Is the content of /var in the 13.10 iso the same as that in the final installation? [00:58] Stiiilll waiting on this install :( [00:59] Or... would the contents of /var be regenerated upon a reboot? [00:59] Or could my system be unbootable now bc of the missing content? [01:01] I think "Copying Files..." has frozen :/ [01:01] ClientAlive: does you system run apache2 or other services that employ the /var directory? [01:02] ClientAlive: more to the point; are you aware of the previous contents of your /var directory? [01:03] In terms of bootability - I don't know, but I would consider backup of my /home directory before giving that a go [01:04] ClientAlive: /var contains all logs, some configuration, all package management, I think you need it [01:05] AvengerLives: It does run apache2, but the way I found out about the problem was by trying to install something. And, no, not sure what it's content exactly. I have mysql, apache2, was trying to install redmine the other day but ran into a prob with it. I do recall that the contents of /var were only about 7 or 8 dirs and maybe a couple hidden dirs. [01:06] it also contains some lock files and your crontabs [01:07] ClientAlive: otak is correct about the logs being located there by default. [01:07] AvengerLives: If I could get my hands on the default content and dump it back in there I think I would at least hava an opperational system. If thinkgs like apache or mysql, konversation, whatever - didn't regenerate, I could deal with that later [01:07] ClientAlive: I suspect you'll find apt-get et al are unhappy [01:08] well the default folder structure is thus: drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 140 Jun 21 08:05 .

[01:11] zingchan: I'm back for a bit... still no luck? :) [01:12] LordNed: packages.ubuntu.com is down for me [01:12] otak_, wrong ping I think ;) [01:12] Does anyone know? [01:13] http too [01:13] HeathHayle, It is a whole OS you have to install it from an iso [01:14] Oh ok thanks is it any good do you know? [01:14] does anyone know if dpkg --add-architecture i386 is wise on my 64bit system to install 32bit packages? [01:14] HeathHayle, Never tried it, I would be most concerned for support if that was a general need is all. [01:15] nocterna1: still no luck indeed [01:15] Oh I am just trung to get a mac look on linux [01:15] ok [01:16] i have the pc that wont assign ip address booted on the ubuntu 13.10 livecd [01:16] I've been double checking that my network is fine, as I thought it's setup as it should be [01:16] the mac address matches the mac address my router shows [01:16] How do I strip back a ubuntu distro to minimal? [01:16] zingchan: so you mentioned centos working fine (first off, nothing wrong using that... :) [01:16] zingchan: Is that centos machine using the same ports for its MC? [01:17] zingchan: same IP address as well? [01:17] yeah I know, but ubuntu is a lot more efficient for MC [01:17] HeathHayle, the desktop looks basically like the fallback and a cairo-dock in ubuntu [01:17] different IP, centos is .146, ubuntu is .96 [01:17] centOS machine is shutdown while I am trying to do this [01:18] zingchan: no worries - just a thought. Besdies this is #ubuntu instead of #centos :) [01:18] Oh does it not worth it then I am trying to get macbuntu to work but having problems [01:18] yep, I've heard from a bunch of my buddies to switch over as it's more efficient [01:20] zingchan: hehe, I don't really care either. I'm more of a gentoo person on 'server' type setups. Never played MC myself anyways! [01:21] zingchan: So the centos install was using the same IP address and ports as this ubuntu install? [01:21] different IPs, same ports but centOS is shutdown [01:21] i have ubuntu 12.04 with a broken ethernet card. i am trying to set up my hotspot and i know how to set it up on the host... but I am having trouble connecting a guest ubuntu 12.04 to the ad-hoc providing computer [01:21] while I am trying to connect outside the network. so there are no port conflicts === jakereye is now known as jakeri [01:22] both are forwarded, but only one server is running using those ports. never seen this be an issue before [01:23] HeathHayle, If you want support here, you might consider what's in the ubuntu repos is all, in general linux offers a wider app base and is free and mostly open source, much cooler than apple in my opinion [01:23] zingchan: I don't think your router can send the -same- port to two computers inside your network. [01:23] Lol fair enough how to I make my linux verson a miniumal version? [01:24] How come does Ubuntu 12.04 not have $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defined? [01:24] hmm let me test this out by using 25595 [01:24] HeathHayle, making it from what you have not sure, but you can do a net install and add just what you want on top- of the base. [01:25] zingchan: what kind of router are you using, anyways? dd-wrt, openwrt? [01:25] hehe, cisco 2811 [01:25] cisco IOS [01:25] zingchan: nice: ZBF or CBAC? [01:25] i click the adhoc network on the guest and it doesnt do anything [01:26] HeathHayle, what release do you have as of now? [01:26] good ole access lists [01:26] CBAC [01:26] zingchan: I used to have 2811, but with ZBF it could only ~16mbps. I bought a 3825 cheap on eBay last year! [01:26] 12.04 LTS [01:26] I'd love to switch to my 3825, I have it in my CCNP lab setup [01:26] frame relay switch [01:26] they sure are cheap now [01:27] i'd just love if ubuntu would connect [01:27] at all [01:27] :( [01:27] zingchan: all G1 stuff is pretty much EoSS now, so flood of hardware coming out on eBay. [01:27] Hi, I just updated and my firefox is no longer working [01:28] zingchan: have you looked at 'sh ip nat tran' while trying to connect from 'outside'? [01:28] HeathHayle, on this site lower left panel is playing around, there are full meta package desktop lists if needed. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [01:28] Beldar: 12.04 LTS [01:29] is there another ubuntu channel someone can recommend [01:29] I have not yet [01:30] trying a different port [01:30] I changed my /var/www/html to be owned by firefox [01:30] and I'll do a debug while I'm at it on the router [01:30] and I can't stilll access it [01:30] resizt0r: For what? There's #ubuntu-server and that's about it. [01:30] HeathHayle, The lists are for removing the desktops and installing another, if you look closely the new desktop install is at the end of the list. One could put whatever they want there within reason. [01:30] for assistance [01:30] zingchan: yeah, 'debug ip pack det ' with acl having your port in it should work [01:30] This is the channel you are looking for [01:31] i've asked my questions here, on several occasions === iScript680 is now known as iScript972 === iScript972 is now known as Sagitt [01:31] Beldar: No i want to strip back my install to miniualm [01:31] i cant be the only person on the internet who has had a problem with ubuntu not assigning ip address [01:31] somebody has to know what the problem is [01:31] and how to fix it [01:31] resizt0r: This is a 100% volunteer channel. If there's someone who is knowledgable and willing, they'll respond. In the meantime, there's not much you can do besides google. [01:31] HeathHayle, miniualm? [01:32] i've googled for the last 2 weeks [01:32] Minimum [01:32] HeathHayle, and minimum means? [01:32] resizt0r: Is Ubuntu running as your DHCP server? [01:32] doesnt the government assign internet ip address? [01:32] Not much stuff installed [01:32] no, im just trying to get it to work on my desktop [01:32] pandabear: Nope === matthew_ is now known as tankerkiller125 [01:33] on a standard home network [01:33] nothing special [01:33] i thought the us government assigns the ip address [01:33] Like the stuff you get when you use the mini.iso [01:33] zingchan: btw, we ditched last of FR about a year ago here. Sometimes I miss it still. MPLS is nice too, but... [01:33] on a pc that used to be running xubuntu 12.04 with no special configurations [01:33] resizt0r: Is this a fresh install? upgrade? Was it ever working before? [01:33] HeathHayle, Still not really a definitive answer is all. If you want gui's you need some sort of X. [01:33] Can I get help with my ubuntu install I lost the menu icon in the very top right hand side of the screen and I don't know why and even after a syastem restart uit won't come back [01:33] fresh install, has run xubuntu in the past, most recently win7 [01:33] Do i need to reinstall to get firefox working? [01:34] But but obvs I have got packages I dont want etc [01:34] Is it possible to take A/V codecs from windows (.ax & .dll fles) and use them in Linux? I would like to play back videos from a security camera system, but the videos do not use a common encoding. [01:34] pandabear: http://www.icann.org/en/node/1145082 [01:35] nbros652: The only method I know would somehow be through WINE. Other than that, I'd wager "no". [01:35] is there a channel for ubuntu develpers? [01:35] You can try installing the proprietary program through WINE to try to play back the videos [01:35] nbros652: I'm no sure about the .ax/.dll part... but there are many windows codecs available until linux. [01:35] fishscene: Thanks, I tried that... so far no luck. [01:35] nocterna1: MPLS is great. I only use FR for the cisco courses. not until the CCIE level do you really get a full lesson on MPLS [01:35] nbros652: chances are it may 'just work' unless it's really way out there in left field :) [01:35] nbros652: Name of the program? [01:35] nocterna1: Not part of the normal windows codecs [01:35] or codec? [01:36] Linux has one of the largest codec supports I know try searching the codecs online and the appstore [01:36] fishscene: It's some Chinese system... I can't remember the name. [01:36] nbros652: trying mediainfo 'filename' and see what is spits out :) [01:36] HeathHayle, Did you see the macbuntu iso download? [01:37] tankerkiller125: The codecs were quite difficult to find for Windows. I've not had any luck with Linux. [01:37] nbros652: You'll probably need to examine the video file to figure out what codec it is reporting it uses. [01:37] Yer but thats a unsupported distro now though isn't it? [01:37] nbros652: what were the codecs called [01:37] zingchan: like many things, the cisco courses/exams are aways behind the real world. I believe they will drop some of the older technologies soon or later :) [01:37] me [01:38] I want to be linux certified. I have a MCSE. [01:38] CCENT is now covering more advanced things like OSPF. so they are now catching up, at least a little bit. pretty awesome [01:38] cisco has a new program I'll be using next year at my career center. Yah computer tech class [01:38] Beldar Yer but thats a unsupported distro now though isn't it? [01:38] HeathHayle: did you know you can install different window managers and try them, without changing what you have now [01:38] CCNA goes into the very basics of BGP now [01:39] tankerkiller125: G722ACEC.dll, H264VDEC.dll, HikDataDump.ax, HikFileSource.ax, and a bunch of other Hik* files, some .ax some .dll [01:39] zingchan: I took CCNA a few years ago... now I don't have time for CCNP or one of the myriad of CCIE certs one can get. [01:39] HeathHayle, unsupported here, but would be on the ubuntu forums and the ##linux channel. You might if you don't mind doing config hacks remove the desktop you have with that site and install lxde and tweak from there or another even lighter desktop. [01:39] Otak_ what do you mean [01:39] I took the CCIE challenge exame @ Cisco Live this year (Orlando) and passed... so that was a pleasant suprise! [01:39] Is there a channel for ubuntu developers [01:40] A google search for "G722ACEC.dll" yields absolutely *nothing*. I think I discovered the end of the Internet [01:40] try in the serminal mediainfo [01:40] wow that is impressive. I am slowly studying for CCIE now [01:40] although I've been a bit lazy [01:40] What install lxde on my distro at the mo? [01:40] Does .Xresources do anything in 13.10? I have tried setting my *background: #FFFFFFF and it doesn't recognize [01:40] nocterna1: mediainfo simply gives the complete name and file size... nothing more. [01:41] nbros652: whoa! Never run across that before! ;/ [01:41] fishscene: like I said, it was hard getting it to play in Windows. [01:41] HeathHayle, wipe the desktop you have with the package list at the site I gave you then install lxde and tweak away. [01:41] nbros652: Did you try what tankerkiller125 said? [01:41] nocterna1: yeah, I'm banging my head on this one. To make matters worse, the player that I found to work listed nothing for the codecs either. [01:41] nbros652: most of the time, things 'just work' under linux when you install the 3rd-port codecs... they don't ship with ubuntu due to licensing. [01:42] And do you think lxde with work with macbuntu? [01:42] Have you tried vlc [01:42] HeathHayle, No idea. [01:42] ClientAlive: you can msg alis list *ubuntu* [01:43] nocterna1: you refering to trying wine? [01:43] Does .Xresources do anything in 13.10? I have tried setting my *background: #FFFFFFF and it doesn't recognize [01:43] nbros652: any chance you can drop a file on dropbox somewhere for me to grab and have a crack at? [01:43] try downloading VLC [01:43] Lol I think its to do with the qtk version is the problem [01:43] I'd be interested in examining this file too [01:44] tankerkiller125: vlc wouldn't even play it in windows [01:44] nbros652: nope. no wine/emulation involved in what I was thinking about. [01:44] HeathHayle, Personally I don't bother much with a customized desktop, I do use the gnome shell with the cairo dock and synapse though, so I use not all the options on it. [01:44] tankerkiller125: didn't work in linux either. [01:44] ALGUIEN HABLA ESPAÑOL [01:44] ??? [01:44] !es | alfonsovz [01:44] alfonsovz: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [01:44] !es > alfonsovz [01:44] alfonsovz, please see my private message [01:44] nbros652: I forgot what the ubuntu package is called. But on install I check the box 'install 3rd party files during install'. This grabs several things I believe. [01:44] nocterna1: give me a sec. [01:44] nbros652, mmm sounds interesting did the system have an installation disk [01:45] nocterna1: I'll upload to skydrive and put link here. === joe2 is now known as ice799 [01:45] How do I take a screenshot [01:45] HeathHayle: otoh i love openbox, but Beldar has advised me in the past so i repect his opinion [01:45] tankerkiller125: I wouldn't know. It was installed long before I started working here. [01:45] What is openbox [01:45] nbros652, Ah ok [01:46] AdamBInfinity: Is it just the background that is not set or does your .Xresources not work at all? Also, what program are you trying to affect with it: urxvt or xterm? [01:46] HeathHayle: http://openbox.org/ [01:46] DWTaylor_: I imagine that it is my entire .Xresources as that is the only thing in it at the moment. I'm trying to affect gnome-terminal.... so xterm [01:47] DWTaylor_: and I've also done the whole xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources [01:47] can someone help me with this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B94YIwPEFnAkcjE0eVBfd0V4RGs/edit?usp=sharing [01:47] Ok cool all I was is a mac os x style desktop for linux [01:48] Top Right corner no dropdown menu [01:48] AdamBInfinity: I'm not sure the gnome terminal will obey Xresources. It has its own config. You set the colors withing gnome terminal. [01:48] tankerkiller125, nocterna1, fishscene: Here's the link to the codecs I have: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=FE14EC11850C49E3!117&authkey=!AFEmslxinrok9rM&ithint=folder%2c.ax [01:49] nbros652, I almost wanna say it's a H264 codec but if VLC can't play it then it can't be [01:49] nbros652: What about the video file itself? (Note: DO NOT SHARE if it is sensitive) [01:49] nbros652: is this is the codecs or a sample of the video? [01:49] AdamBInfinity: Not in a gnome environment right now. But I know there is a place where you go in gnome terminal to set all 16 colors. [01:50] nbros652: what fishscene said - only if it's possible. [01:50] tankerkiller125: I'm wondering if its a customized variation of a h264 codec. [01:50] DWTaylor_: I'm using gnome-terminal but my $TERM is xterm? I figured that means I'm just on top of an xterm emulator [01:50] nbros652, I'll take a look [01:51] DWTaylor_: but either way, if I open an xterm terminal.... the background is not white as expected [01:51] nbros652: do these files contain audio? g722 is an audio codec. [01:51] nocterna1, fishscene: Let me see if I can find a video that wouldn't be a problem. brb [01:52] mm accoring to a colleague on skype it may be a mpeg 2 encoding [01:52] Old School [01:53] AdamBInfinity: Not sure on that but since gnome terminal has its own configuration I would be pretty sure it won't obey .Xresources. So you have to use its own config tool. [01:53] DWTaylor_: trying to get Solarized in gnome-terminal/Vim is becoming a nightmare! Thank you anyway [01:53] gtg really quick [01:54] i click the adhoc network on the guest and it doesnt do anything [01:54] i have ubuntu 12.04 with a broken ethernet card. i am trying to set up my hotspot and i know how to set it up on the host... but I am having trouble connecting a guest ubuntu 12.04 to the ad-hoc providing computer [01:54] mpeg2 is easily handled by just about every media player out there. I'm assuming you've installed gstreamer codecs? === tankerkiller125 is now known as AFK|tankerkiller [01:54] AdamBInfinity: Funny you mentioned solarized and vim. I tried installing the same thing this very day. [01:54] AdamBInfinity: And yes...its a nightmare [01:55] DWTaylor_: I'm starting to think it's impossible. I can get the colors matching except my bolds aren't correct. This makes my *.html look all grey because they utilize bolds [01:55] DWTaylor_: I can remove bold and it works perfect.... but I am persistent and want it EXACTLY how they have it on the site haha [01:56] AdamBInfinity: I spent about half an hour playing with it, and it wasn't quite right. [01:56] DWTaylor_: I've been trying since Friday. Losing my mind over here. === AFK|tankerkiller is now known as tankerkiller125 [01:56] AdamBInfinity: Agreed, it never looks like the pics on the website. LOL. [01:56] fishscene, Can you help me out a little [01:57] Installing gstreamer codecs? [01:57] has anyone seen my question? [01:58] fishscene, LOL no diffrent guy um the top right menu on the bar ontop in't thier anymore how would I fix [01:58] sn33zy: No IP address at all? Not even something like: 169.254.x.x?

[02:00] sn33zy: Just out of curiosity, have you tried rebooting the computer?

I have to export it or open it with special extensions for certain video editors. It whomps, but it works. [02:25] nbros652: This looks a lot like what I deal with. [02:26] fishscene: the system is a multi-camera system that records to a central location. I know there is channel information and probably some other information embedded as well.

[03:28] motherbrain: compiling packages is not really supported here. You might need to contact rhythmbox authors direct [03:29] or turn off useing totem [03:29] forehand: 'dhcp auto' will automatically set the gateway if it's provided by the DHCP server IIRC?

I understand it should be the ip of my gateway, but since that IP changes I am not sure what to set it to. [03:31] *should use [03:32] somsip, indeed. :) [03:32] forehand: youir other PCs see the wifi NIC on a different network from the cable modem IP.

I am not sure what ip address to use for the gateway in the dhcp server config. I think it's supposed to be the ip of BOX. Right? [04:43] forehand: if you set the clients as 'dhcp auto' they should set the gateway automatically [04:48] forehand: I got it up and running, is there any way to access my documents from my host computer? [04:50] somsip- so I can skip specifying the gateway in the dhcp config altogether? [04:50] what dhcp config are you referring to?

[04:52] hi. i assigned a password to root user. but still for many actions where root user authorization is required the system only accepts the original non root sudo user account password and not the root password. [04:53] somsip: looking for it... [04:54] !sudo | Abhijit [04:54] Abhijit: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [04:54] somsip: can't find it. Know of a good one for a basic home network? [04:54] forehand: the first two tutorials I get for this make no mention of having to set a gateway in dhcp3.conf http://is.gd/JUhVU5 http://is.gd/5xgi6i [04:54] lotuspsychje, i do not want the sudo. hence i assigned seperate password to root. [04:55] !root | Abhijit [04:55] Abhijit: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[07:23] KI7MT, the cmdline again shows the same shafox@archon:~$ cat /proc/cmdline [07:23] BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-57-generic root=UUID=fe4efee2-1bb4-42df-bad4-95344ce75e49 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 [07:24] Thats really odd, editing the defaults should have placed acip=off in the /boot/grub.cfg .. not sure why that is not happening corrctly. === KacanuH_ is now known as KacanuH [07:26] shafox, see para: 8 on this link, unless I've steered you wrong, that should have worked: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup [07:26] KI7MT, [ 19.062517] [drm:gen6_sanitize_pm] *ERROR* Power management discrepancy: GEN6_RP_INTERRUPT_LIMITS expected 16000000, was 12060000 [07:26] [ 24.949823] [drm:gen6_sanitize_pm] *ERROR* Power management discrepancy: GEN6_RP_INTERRUPT_LIMITS expected 16070000, was 16000000 [07:26] then para 9. sasy acip=off should appear. [07:28] shafox, that makes sense, as acip=off is not actually off, so it's had no affect on the kernel boot, thus your still getting the error. I dont know why grub is not getting updated. [07:28] well it aint happening in my case [07:29] can i compile the latest stable kernel from kernel.org in my ubuntu 12.04 ? [07:30] shafox, personally, I wouldnt' recommend that unless your well versed in custom compiling, best approach is sudo dist-upgrade === Romance is now known as Romancer [07:32] KI7MT, i did a sudo dist-upgrade . [07:32] there is nothing to update [07:32] or upgrade :) [07:33] shafox, well, that' means there's an issue with the .57 kernl itself. [07:33] kernel [07:34] in which case, you can live with it until the next patch comes out, or install a previous kernel. === Guest40081 is now known as ponbiki [07:39] Why is it that I can boot from my 16gb usb flash drive no problem but I can't off my 4tb seagate hdd? [07:41] TuxBlackEdo, that's a perfect question with no answer because you've provided none of the details needed for analysis [07:41] !details [07:41] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:41] qjackctl picks up xruns without any applications running. purge and reinstall helps for a few hr. but then xruns.... cant get more than mid 20-30ms of latency . my DV6 laptop should do way better than that. should I revert from lowlatency kernel to regular kernel? [07:41] kenetik, finally done with sudo apt-get upgrade. Time to restart and see what happens! [07:42] LordNed: Good luck, seemed like more than 13 min [07:43] kenetik, yeah that took me an hour to actually install the updates after downloading them. The write speeds on this USB drive are abysmal. Boots take 5+ minutes too [07:44] Also it hangs on shutdowns - is it safe to hard-crash it after running sudo apt-get upgrade? [07:44] Oh, didn't hang that time. Cool. [07:45] shafox: you said grub reverts? i had that problem too, i used grub-customizer and it just worked [07:46] Im still baffled on why it's reverting in the first place, though I must admit, I dont do allot of custom edits to the grub.cfg [07:49] In his case, the real solution to the problem is probably beyond the scope of the this channel, more suited to the kernel Guru's and probably a bug report. [07:52] Okay same issue kenetik - Xubuntu boots (see the bar that goes back and forth) and black screen for a long time and then I get a login screen, but it looks like X isn't running as I can't run "sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt" [07:52] I have downloaded and unziped Aptana so that the directory now includes an excecutable binary and other stuff. Where am I supposed to move the whole stuff? [07:53] (in the file system hierarchy of linux?) [07:53] Okay so I install ubuntu on my 16gb flash drive and it gets detected and boots off the usb when I select it to boot from the bios. However when I have ubuntu installed onto my external 4tb drive and I try to boot off of it, the bios doesnt even see the drive... [07:53] siwica: if you've done it that way, wherever you want. Convention would suggest /opt with symlinks to the binaries in /usr/local/bin [07:54] LordNed: ps aux | grep x [07:55] and I am beginning to suspect this may not be an ubuntu related error. I may as well have windows installed on the external drive, computers just don't want to boot from this external drive I have (I have verified this across multiple computers) [07:55] kenetik, http://hastebin.com/hifupocije.m [07:56] yah x isnt running [07:56] somsip, siwica this is a little dated but /opt is what the guys over at stack say too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14484057/how-do-you-install-aptana-on-ubuntu-12-04-1 [07:56] I assume X is crashing (or having issues booting) kenetik - ever since I installed the amd catalyst drivers (which has a line about modifying the x config [07:56] Is there a place I can find out why [07:56] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf >> paste it [07:57] !fsh | KI7MT siwica [07:57] KI7MT siwica: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [07:57] kenetik, give me a couple mins, rebooting again (re-ran the setup for the Catalyst drivers to see if that'd help, don't think it will) [07:58] + [07:59] screw it [07:59] i give up [07:59] I have things like Intel / Portland compilers / MXE etc in /opt but also use /home/username/bin .. far to many ways to skin that cat :-) [07:59] TuxBlackEdo, I have several external USB drives, never could get one to boot Linux. USB stick, no problem [08:01] What's TuxBlackEdo trying to do that's not working? [08:01] use an external USB drive to boot a distro [08:01] Doesn't matter, he left :p [08:01] yup [08:02] what does upgrade grub do [08:02] means what does it change in grub [08:02] Hmm, that should work, it's tested like gozilian times in the Ubuntu QA group [08:03] test [08:03] ami connected [08:03] yes [08:04] at&t just had a 3 minutes outage, thankfully freenode has high ping threshold [08:04] ola2, it updates any changed made to your boot parameters, like, a new kernel or splash screen edits etc. [08:04] changes .. [08:04] kernel module or kernel algorithms [08:05] means way of functioning or increase functionality [08:05] what does it changes [08:05] don't know about algorithms but different kernel options yes. [08:05] ok [08:05] than you [08:05] k [08:06] kenetik, contents of xorg.conf: http://hastebin.com/gatagipixu.cmake [08:06] wait this may help [08:06] what does it mean when gparted says "Partitions have beeen written but we have been unable to inform the kernel, probably because it is in use, as a result old partitons will remain in use. you should reboot now" weird thing is i can reboot however many times i want and it will always say this dumb error whenever i launch gparted [08:06] hi ppl, is there a way i can set somehow when i right click on desktop or in folder and go create new document that it shows me the ability to create an libre office writer or spreadsheet, i dont want always to go menu->libre writer then save as and then choose the place where to save ?? [08:07] TuxBlackEdo, measn your volume is mounted, to write partitions changes ot a volume, it must first be unmounted [08:07] means === Mark_de_J is now known as Mark_de_J[AFK] [08:07] logical_, can need to set the save locations in writer settings [08:07] what kind of vid card? [08:08] kenetik, two Radeon 7950's ATI [08:08] i dont understand? [08:08] eek [08:08] KI7MT, I am not operating on the partitions [08:08] sri abt the typos, my KB is not doign what I tell it :-) [08:08] gparted says it on launch ALL THE TIME [08:09] if I run "sudo aticonfig --lsa" it reports "0. 04:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series" (and the second one), so it's seeing them. [08:09] TuxBlackEdo, you can make changes to a mounted partition, if you need to do that, boot from a LiveCD, run gparted from the CD then make your changes. [08:09] you can't make .. .. [08:09] Lord gimme output from startx [08:09] logical_, tools > options > libreoffice > paths > edit ... [08:09] KI7MT, I have restarted my computer many times, gparted ALWAYS says that error [08:10] kenetik, it's thinking - while it does that, the screen is actually displaying a login screen (which is odd because I set auto-login to true on install) - I assume this is a not-x fallback? [08:10] si [08:10] TuxBlackEdo, lets start from the beginning .. what are you trying to partition / re-partition ? [08:10] "xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/mewtin/.Xauthority [08:10] " is the return from startx kenetik [08:10] "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting" - sudo startx? [08:10] are u root? [08:11] I don't think so [08:11] sudo rm -Rf /home/mewtin/.Xauthority [08:12] KI7MT, because I formatted a usb flash drive, and installed ubuntu on it, my computer recognizes that and boots right up. I do the same with my external usb hard drive and BIOS doesnt recognize it as a startup device [08:12] kenetik, ran that then tried to startx again, same issue. [08:12] s/because// [08:12] hmmm im stumped bud [08:13] kenetik, is there any sort of error log for X? [08:13] TuxBlackEdo, ... ok .. when you boot up do you have both the USB flash drive and the external USB drive connected? [08:14] cd /var/log should be X.*.log [08:14] Oh wait here's X trying to boot now that I ran it as root [08:15] KI7MT, no sir, i do one at a time [08:15] cfhowlett I am there but what should i edit?, i am new to linux [08:15] http://hastebin.com/fujodiriyu.coffee kenetik - it's just looping "No protocol specified" now [08:16] TuxBlackEdo, this may not be UB related at all then, but when you boot wiht jsut the external USB HD, as you said the BIOS does not identify the drive at all ? [08:16] Dunno pimp. [08:16] kenetik, well thanks for the help anyways, I guess I'll just bash around things until I hit something that works ;) [08:16] Might try reinstalling X [08:17] somsip: KI7MT: thanks! this helps! [08:17] KI7MT, what I meant was the BIOS doesn't identify it as a boot device [08:17] but I have used other external drives before and they boot just fine [08:18] TuxBlackEdo, did you set the partition as bootable? [08:18] ObrienDave, the installer did it, i confirmed it with gparted [08:18] k [08:18] TuxBlackEdo, Ok, one other quesiton, if you boot from the USB (key) flash drive and you plug in the external USB Hard Drive, does Ubuntu see the drive? [08:18] siwica: np [08:18] KI7MT, yes ubuntu will see the drive [08:19] YYYY [08:19] cze === mukti_ is now known as mukti [08:20] I know what the solution is... get a new external hard drive, this brand may just have some kind of flag which makes it impossible to boot off of? [08:20] seriously doubt that. I have all WD and they wont work either [08:21] TuxBlackEdo: are you trying to boot from one big 4TB partition? [08:21] yes [08:21] 1 big ext4 [08:21] TuxBlackEdo, sounds liek a BIOS issue to me, but, when booted from the USB Key, you could then use gparted to partition the drive, and further install from a LiveCD, making sure of two things, one the UDB HD is unmounted first, then install grub to the USB HD mbr. [08:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6587775/ anyone know whats wrong with my ubuntu? [08:21] TuxBlackEdo: then you need to use GPT or make smaller partitions [08:22] hi ppl, is there a way i can set somehow when i right click on desktop or in folder and go create new document that it shows me the ability to create an libre office writer or spreadsheet, i dont want always to go menu->libre writer then save as and then choose the place where to save ?? [08:22] somsip, just curious, why smaller? [08:23] TuxBlackEdo, MBR doesn't support larger than 2TB [08:23] KI7MT: split into 2TB for home, 100MB for /boot, rest for / (whatever) then the MBR limit is worked around [08:23] TuxBlackEdo: http://is.gd/DKr0Mw [08:23] ookay thanks guys i think this is what I needed [08:24] <3 somsip ObrienDave KI7MT [08:24] TuxBlackEdo: but short answer (given I know nothing about GPT) is to partition in a structure that will help you later when something dies. One big partition is the most brittle style of partitioning [08:24] dupa dupa [08:24] świgut dupa [08:24] admin1_: do you have a support question? === admin1_ is now known as RoChiMi [08:25] Muhahahahha [08:25] somsip, Ahh ok .. love this place learn something every time I drop in. I didn't know there was an MBR limit, I alway either use auto sizing or 100MB for /boot [08:25] why doesn't the installer stop me from creating a 4tb single boot partition [08:26] KI7MT: yeah - technology has just overtaken old standards, that's all. I don't know why the installer is dumb [08:26] hehe [08:26] TuxBlackEdo, I dont know, I need to look into that myself.

I get xruns about every 30 sec. for seemingly no reason at all. why I ask ---> http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=7104 [08:31] I actually used VMWare to load the iso to install it to the HDD [08:32] have you installed it that way before?

[08:45] that should work [08:47] TuxBlackEdo, Ok, so you source install device is the USB key and the destination is then USB HD .. I would try, if you can, just a CD ISO / LiveCD form your CDROM and only the USB HD connected to the machine, assuming you do not have an internal HD installed . connected, and select use the whole drive (USB HD that is) [08:48] teju, doesn't run on this machine...

I gotta log off now, my train is at my station any minute now. :) [09:39] shah0516, may want to try the full xubuntu-desktop and also ask the folks in Xubuntu, as they know Xface inside and out. [09:40] thanks.. will try that! [09:45] Hi, is it possible to install ubuntu on already created luks partition? [09:48] Silmarilion, yes, you can do a side by side (dual boot) or boostrap in a chroot and install that way, easiest way is using the LiveCD and install side-by-side [09:49] ok [09:49] tnx [09:52] taybi [09:54] Hi guys I have a three monitors setup (one laptop screen and two monitors) and the mouse isn't being transfered from one screen to another correctly. I'm running 13.10. [09:56] It's something with the sticky edges. [10:00] Wait, no it isn't. [10:00] the_drow, have you tuned of the sticky option? [10:00] KI7MT: yup it still doesn't help. I can't move my mouse between the screens. [10:01] KI7MT: and when I can the pointer moves to the wrong screen [10:01] There's a couple bugs written up on this, not sure which is the most current one yet. [10:03] Should I try to upgrade to xorg edgers and see if it's resolved? [10:03] the_drow, there's some settings in Compizconfig Ssettings Manager > Ubuntu Unity Plugin >> Experimental Tab [10:03] I dont have multiple monitors to test with. [10:04] KI7MT: I can't find it. [10:06] It's in the Software Center, CompizConfig Settings Manager [10:09] KI7MT: I don't see the experimental tab [10:11] It's the third TAB on mine, but I only have the laptop monitor listed. [10:12] the third tab is menus on Ubuntu Unity Plugin [10:16] Why does middle-click change the webpage in Firefox to a previous page (it's not the Back behaviour, as I have to click Back to go to the page I want to be on) and how can I stop it? [10:16] I'd rather use midle-click and drag to scroll [10:16] I believe this was the behaviour in older versions [10:19] hello, pls how do I create an ISO (CD image) file via SSH ? [10:20] the_drow, you may also need the compiz-plugin-extra package [10:21] KI7MT: I can't find it === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [10:22] afidegnum: What do you mean?

[10:26] Rory: there is no utput [10:26] but in ui it is showing pendrive and i can copy/paste data [10:27] ola2: Have you rebooted after performing that action? [10:27] ya [10:27] thats why im asking for help [10:27] the_drow, when you open CSSM, in the Filter box enter "Unity", then under Desktop select Ubuntu Unity Plugin [10:28] ola2: Can you please let me know the output of the command "cat /etc/issue" ?

Ubuntu says it's not there [10:30] KI7MT: Yes, I did apt-get update [10:30] Rory : Ubuntu 12.04 LTS /n /l [10:31] KI7MT: It should be sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins [10:31] the_drow, not sure why it's not there, I just installed CSSM then the plugin extras and the Exp TAB is under Unity plugins. [10:31] this is totally the wrong place to be asking this.. but i think i may be having an issue with libc in saucy [10:32] hexchat, firefox and chrome seem to randomly trigger it [10:32] ola2: Can you please edit the file /etc/rc.local [ gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local ] and add the line "modprobe -r usb_storage" without the quotes, before the "exit 0" line [10:32] snadge: Do you get an error? [10:32] KI7MT: sudo apt-get install compiz-plugin*s*-extra [10:32] Rory : Sir ,i did that too [10:33] the_drow, there's several plugings, compiz-plugins and compiz-plugins-extra [10:33] several plugins .. ..

[10:40] Gr1m: Go into Desktop settings (where you set your wallpaper) and make sure the Saturation slider is set to 1, not 0 [10:41] i recently install windows 8 on diffrent partition but now my ubuntu is not booting up [10:41] Rory: It worked I thought it was the setting in dconf.

[10:46] Wubix, ubuntu uses apt-get, yum is not supported. [10:46] Why do you need it? [10:46] Rory : pastebin.com/nKmfaFuD [10:46] i need it to make device control [10:46] i installed yum from the ubuntu repository so when its in there i suppose its supported [10:46] not you ola2 lol [10:46] !info yum [10:46] yum (source: yum): Advanced front-end for rpm. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.4.3-2ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 801 kB, installed size 3201 kB [10:46] ola2: The usb_storage module is still loaded, you need to add "blacklist usb_storage" to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file [10:47] ola2: That is the answer, until you do that it won't work [10:47] ok, this is chicken shit [10:47] troll or idiot? [10:47] thats' a good way to brick you system, as the dep versions different in yum and apt [10:47] Wubix indeed, yum is in the repo's, i wonder what fool did that. [10:47] Wubix, why are you trying to install .rpm on ubuntu? [10:48] He's gone [10:48] installing an RPM is not a problem, version control and deps are the problem. [10:49] agreed [10:49] Rory:any idea [10:49] ola2: Can you please put the contents of your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file on http://paste.ubuntu.com [10:49] ola2: I've repeatedly told you exactly how to fix it [10:49] ok Rory : im doing that now [10:51] Rory : www.pastebin.com/5ZTnZMXg [10:51] KI7MT: I just switched the cables and the HDMI screen is now the main screen. The order is now correct and the mouse travels between screens correctly. I have no idea why is that [10:52] ola2: OK you can reboot, or you can run "sudo modprobe -r usb_storage" [10:53] the_drow_, pass, I dont either, I know there were several bugs written on it, and the solutions all pointed compiz fix. [10:54] the_drow_, maybe you should submit a bug on launchpad, just to document the fix. [10:57] Hello, [10:57] Hello collo_kg [10:57] I try to install chrome on ubuntu 12.04 for one day and I get the following error: [10:57] google-chrome-Stable: Depends: libnss3 (> = 3.14.3) but 3.14.1-0ckbi1.93ubuntu.0.12.04.1 must be installed [10:57] collo_kg: Can you please open your Software Properties or Software Sources program, and ensure the Universe repository is enabled [10:58] collo_kg: then run the command: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install [10:58] You need sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d [10:59] apt-get -f install should do that [10:59] if not, then yes install that manually [10:59] I tried this command, but I always have an error [10:59] Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel [11:00] Agreed, but using -f is generally not a good ideas if you can avoid it. [11:00] I also tried manually, I downloaded the package [11:01] collo_kg: I mean, please can you enable the Universe repository, then run the commands "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install" - if you still get errors please put them on http://paste.ubuntu.com [11:01] If I can see the full output (including apt-get update so I can see what repos you're using) I can definitely fix it [11:02] he may also need: libgconf2-4 libxss1 .. build-dep is a good good option. [11:03] thank's Rory , I'll try [11:04] installing a downloaded deb doesn't bring in the dependencies. that's what apt-get is for. if you attempt to install a deb manually that has dependencies which aren't installed, it will remain in an inconsistent state. apt-get -f install will fix this by pulling in dependencies (that's what apt-get is for) [11:05] OK [11:05] Hmm I guess the quesiton would be, why install the .deb insted of using the repo version? [11:06] Because there isn't a repo version [11:06] not of google-chrome-stable, only chromium-browser [11:07] Could he not just sudo apt-get build-dep chromium-browser .. ? [11:07] Ahh . ok, got it. [11:07] build-dep pulls in the dependencies required to build the source package [11:07] it's only for compiling software [11:07] rr [11:08] good [11:10] hi. i set aliases in "terminator". when i restart system then the alias do not exist. help please. 12.04 ubuntu [11:10] Abhijit, set aliases in ~/.bashrc [11:10] ok [11:11] Pessimist, what is the root- home folder? i mean where is bashrc of root? [11:11] Abhijit, root account is disabled in ubuntu as far as I know [11:11] :-( [11:12] Pessimist, I know. I enabled it. [11:12] Rory, wow, I been under the impression, why I do not know, that -f == --force the install, not solve deps, my bad, sri for confusing things. [11:14] Abhijit, login to root and cd $HOME [11:14] Pessimist, got it. its on /root [11:15] KI7MT: By itsself with no arguments, it will forcibly install packages from the repositories which are needed, and that you didn't actually specify [11:15] KI7MT: So you aren't wrong [11:15] hi everybody [11:15] collo_kg: Status?

[12:42] Does anyone know a nice tool that sets my wallpapers to a random one from the web? [12:43] node111: I presume you've tried airodump-ng [12:43] In the Ubuntu Server installer, is dialog or whiptail drawing the windows? [12:44] 'Morning folks [12:44] What format is a network adapter ID in? [12:44] hey guys [12:44] new user here [12:45] xevwork, some of both, whiptail is Debian mostly, Dialog is for things like Tasksel [12:45] They both do the same thing, ncurses gui's in xterm. [12:46] KI7MT: I see. I'm trying to provide feedback during my preseed/late_command script so the user doesn't think it's frozen. Is there a wrapper for the curses GUI like the in-target and apt-install wrappers? [12:47] llvv [12:47] dknfkdv [12:47] you will die [12:47] Hi there, just testing my IRC client. Can someone just answer this message? [12:48] no? [12:48] xevwork, the progress indicator in both are really useless, unless you code (wrap) it properly, most likely a simple Bash or Perl script. [12:48] :D Hi there, MegaCat [12:48] KI7MT: That's my plan. I just can't find a whiptail or dialog binary in the installer. [12:48] MegaCat: yes we see you [12:49] Hey guys. How can I force a specific LightDM session from the command-line (ssh session)? I tried dm-tool, but it complained that it wasn't running within a desktop manager [12:49] Hi! I'm using X-chat. How do I answer you xevwork? [12:49] PUTA [12:49] So that you understand that I'm talking to you.

Most clients will highlight lines starting with your own nick, so it makes it easier for people to notice that you're speaking to them. [12:51] xevwork, So this is an answer to you then? [12:51] Hello, is asking about Qt packaging problem in Ubuntu polite here? [12:51] xevwork, if your referrign to the Alt-Installer, that't Whiptail until yo get to the additional options, then that is Dialog. [12:52] KI7MT: 73 de MM0YEQ [12:52] putaputaputaputaputa [12:52] xevwork, When answer me it's like MegaCat: [12:52] I'm face dwith some hurdles getting my Surface Pro 2 work well with Ubuntu [12:52] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64811‎ [12:52] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 64811 in Input Devices "Microsoft Surface type cover 2 assigned to hid-multitouch, "No inputs registered"" [Normal,New] [12:52] MegaCat: That's just because my IRC client does it differently. The colon vs the comma doesn't make a difference. [12:52] hi guys [12:52] problem is with the type cover 2, works fine during install but not at all on first boot [12:52] xevwork, Okey, thanks! :D [12:53] any way to make ubuntu use the reduced HID drivers that it uses during install? [12:53] I have a problem with vmware on ubuntu 13.10 [12:53] MegaCat: You may have to configure Xchat to automatically highlight. I use Quassel, so I'm not sure about Xchat. [12:53] i'm facing ubuntu crashes on xenserver [12:53] hello [12:53] 有人在么 [12:53] it's about spinlock.c, do you know what is it? [12:54] Malsasa: sure you can ask here, but #ubuntu-packaging has people who deal with that on a daily basis [12:54] hi [12:54] KI7MT: Yeah the part I'm looking at now seems to be a dialog window. However, there's no dialog binary in the installer environment. It must all be done with libraries? [12:54] when I open it, it says that some modules have to be installed in the kernel, and then when it starts, it doesn't list the virtual machines anymore [12:54] glitsj16: oh, thank you for pointing me. [12:54] !cn | ubunbo [12:54] ubunbo: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [12:54] glitsj16: thaknks [12:54] *thanks [12:54] xevwork, When we are talking our conversion is highlighter automatically (red). BTW why are you using Quassel, I mean like features and stuff? [12:55] xevwork, I'm not sure. I have it installed on my laptop let me look. [12:55] MegaCat: I use Quassel because it's QT-based and I use KDE, so it integrates a bit better with my desktop environment. [12:56] xevwork, Okey, thanks! :D [12:56] xevwork, BB [12:56] xevwork, it's a binary, /usr/bin/dialog .. maybe Whiptail is used throughout and they just used the dialig.rc for coloring, but there almost identical in coding. [12:57] KI7MT: That's not present in the install environment for me. I'm booted in the Ubuntu Server (12.04.3) installer on the second terminal. [12:58] xevwork, Whiptail is also installed in Ubuntu by default, so if you want Dialog specifically, have to install it after. [12:58] using lubuntu lxkeymap gives me index out of range error how do I change to swedish keyboard in the OS from terminal? [12:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6588719/ [13:01] KI7MT: Thanks. I was looking for it in the install image, but just realized that if I'm running a late_command during a preseed, I'll have the in-target command available and I can run whiptail that way. Thanks a lot! [13:02] xevwork, I dont have a server-install CD handy, but Im pretty sure the install uses Whiptail for all the user interaction / input items. [13:03] KI7MT: It does, which is why I'm perplexed. 'find -name whiptail' turns up nothing. [13:03] KI7MT: isn't it /bin/whiptail ? [13:03] how do I get hlep? [13:03] help [13:03] ? [13:03] Rory: Nope. [13:04] xevwork, I think so on the install CD that would make sense. [13:04] muchdoge: you'd need to ask [13:04] !ask | muchdoge [13:04] muchdoge: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [13:04] !details | muchdoge [13:04] muchdoge: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:04] KI7MT, Rory: Boot the Ubuntu Server ISO in a VM, got to the second terminal and start searching. If you can find it, I'll totally high-five you. [13:04] when I install a program wich has installer.run will I be able later to remove it with apt? [13:04] s/got/go/ [13:04] xevwork: cannot find it with "find / -name whiptail" ? [13:05] Silmarilion: No [13:05] Rory: Only the files that have been installed in /target [13:05] how to install photoshop in ubuntu 12.04? [13:05] !wine | lutfi [13:05] lutfi: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [13:06] I thought so.. This is bad because most of the packages in comunnity are out of date... [13:06] Just installed Ubuntu 13.10, first time using ubuntu. My tower has a Nvidia card on the board, and I have a AMD HD6770 plugged into the pci-e slot. Ubuntu doesn't seem to be able to see the AMD card, and when I try to install drivers they don't detect it. What do I do? [13:06] Silmarilion: what app are you trying to install [13:07] I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 on a Lenovo X121e. TTBOMK, that notebook doesn't support EFI or UEFI. === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [13:07] !away > Thor|Away [13:07] Thor|Away, please see my private message [13:07] Yet, the installer tries to create an "EFI BOOT" partition and tries to mount something to /boot/efi afterwards [13:07] Hm. All the whiptail output I try to create in a late_command is probably going to be captured to the log instead of displayed on the terminal. [13:07] the usual for programming netbeans, eclipse, lampp (xampp) etc... [13:07] xevwork, binarys are probably in the compressed image, and you'd have to extract it to see what all is there, not on the CD wehre the apps are housed. [13:08] Silmarilion: The repositories are there for a reason. You might find Ubuntu 13.10 has newer versions than 12.04 [13:08] muchdoge: Can you see possible drivers to install in the Additional Drivers tab of the Software Sources program? [13:08] Rory: only for the Nvidia [13:08] KI7MT: I'm in the terminal during install, which means I'm inside that compressed image. [13:08] hi all, I would like to be able to connect to my desktop with another device (another desktop, laptop, tablet) and be able to choose what resolution use, and be able to connect multiple user at the same time. VNC is not good for do that, any idea? [13:08] muchdoge: Can you show me the output of the command: lspci -v [13:09] Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel [13:09] KI7MT: Booted into it. Not just mounting the ISO... [13:09] hi [13:09] yes....hold on....I just type that exactly into terminal right? [13:09] test [13:09] xevwork, I'll have to dig on that one a bit. Maybe in the ramfs or something ? [13:09] KI7MT: This is all moot anyway, since I realized that all late_command output gets captured to the install log. So, whiptail won't display on the screen. [13:10] muchdoge: you can do this to make it easier: "sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; lspci -v | pastebinit" [13:10] muchdoge: that will give you a URL to give me [13:10] Hello, I am packaging my Qt app on Precise. I create the single executable with Qt Creator and package it using dpkg --build. But lintian says just single error: unstripped-binary-or-object. I have ggogling for that and read Debian Packaging Guide, but I can't figure out how to solve this. It seems .deb packages on many KDE packages (yes, Qt too) doesn't have this type of error. Any suggestion for me? Thank you. [13:11] xevwork, ok .. yeah, you'd have to be able to redirect IO for the progress indicator to work.

[13:13] i have installed JRE 1.7 but my firefox say no JRE is found, how do i fix this? [13:13] Rory: Thanks! I hope you can help me! [13:13] muchdoge: Is the PCI slot enabled in your BIOS? [13:13] Romance: sure, have you installed icedtea plugin? [13:14] Rory: I dont know how to find out on this OS. [13:14] muchdoge: It's not an OS thing, it's in your BIOS [13:14] muchdoge: I ask because Ubuntu does not see it at all [13:14] Malsasa: icedtea is bundled with openJDK right? i uninstalled openJDK [13:14] muchdoge: So it either isn't plugged in or it's disabled in the BIOS somehow [13:14] well....lets say its not...how do I turn it on? [13:14] eh [13:14] its deffenitely plugged in...I get video thru it. [13:15] short answer, ldconfig [13:15] Romance: install it separately. Search by Synaptic. [13:15] muchdoge: You plug your monitor into the graphics card, or the port on the motherboard? [13:15] Rory:its def plugged in, so I know its working. [13:15] Malsasa: ok thanks i will check on it [13:15] Rory: I can plug into ether, and both work. [13:16] muchdoge: Do you know the model of your motherboard? [13:16] :Rory er.....negative Capitan. [13:17] muchdoge: Did you build the PC yourself? Or is it pre-built, if so what's the model of the PC? === zz_dino82 is now known as dino82 [13:18] muchdoge: Is Ubuntu the first OS you've ever had on this PC, or do you also have Windows? [13:19] Rory: I had windows before [13:19] Rory: also, most of it is an 2 year old E-machine....im trying to find the original case to tell you what model. [13:19] muchdoge: What did you say the AMD pci-e card was? [13:20] Hd 6770 [13:20] "/join#ubuntu" [13:20] :Rory HD 6770 === BradCrittenden is now known as bac [13:22] I mean... I don't know what to say. It's not a driver thing, ubuntu simply does not see that device at all, exactly as if it wasn't plugged in. is your monitor connected to the video output on the graphics card, or the video output on the motherboard? === arsdragonfly1 is now known as arsdragonfly [13:22] Right now, mother board. I can restart it and use the AMD if you think that will make a difference. [13:23] Yes, and while you're restarting, go into your BIOS and double-check the PCI-E slots are enabled and at 16x speed [13:23] how do I do that with Ubuntu? [13:23] muchdoge: it's not an Ubuntu thing [13:23] windows is no longer installed [13:23] muchdoge: it's before any OS boots, you press a hotkey to access a menu [13:23] It's not a Windows thing [13:23] My problem (Qt packaging) just SOLVED by using command: strip --strip-unneeded EXECUTABLENAME. Lintian says no error. Thank you. [13:23] Rory, ah, what key would that be? [13:23] muchdoge: I don't know what it will be on your system, but it's usually F2 or Del [13:24] got ya.

[13:58] paws, netstat and vnstat [13:59] Abhijit: i am looking for something like mrtg but that can track all the computers in my network [13:59] paws: It needs to be something you install on the gateway [14:00] agh there is no tool that i can install on everyone's computer and send the stats to my server? [14:00] paws: Oh I see [14:01] paws: Yes you can use something like Nagios [14:01] okay [14:01] i will look into it === DavidGeb- is now known as DavidGebler [14:04] paws, search for "auditd" and "monit" [14:07] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20636282/stuck-at-grub-rescue-after-trying-to-install-centos [14:07] kenetik: you accidentally joined #ubuntu, this is the Ubuntu support channel [14:08] Rory: Did you happened to read the post? The server is running Ubuntu. [14:09] kenetik: Not any more, you installed Centos instead [14:09] kenetik: Yes I read the post: "After successfully initiating the CentOS installation..." [14:09] I run Ubuntu on my home computer, laptop and most of my servers. I've helped people in this channel before, wasn't expecting to have to deal with a smart ass. If you don't want to help, don't. [14:09] kenetik: You have 50% of a centos install, and 0% of an ubuntu install [14:10] kenetik: It's nto that I dont want to help, it's that #centos is the right place to get it [14:10] Rory: Great, preciate the assistance. You've been so much help. [14:10] !attitude [14:10] Ok [14:10] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [14:10] ignored [14:14] Rory: does nagios have to sit on the gateway? [14:16] paws: No, nagios server can sit on any server [14:16] It is possibly overkill, take a look at Abhijit's suggestion above. Nagios is a complete monitoring tool, bandwidth is just a part of it [14:16] this is kind of what i am looking for [14:17] i looked up Abhijit's tools too.. but nagios is kind of what i was looking for, except i dont understand how it will pull stats from other computers [14:17] nagios/icinga doesn't have any sort of computer detection mechanisms built in either. You would need to define each computer manually. [14:18] correct paws. if you want it to just automatically monitor traffic on the network without ant client-side configuration you will need to look into something for the gateway [14:18] okay [14:18] let me read over their manuals [14:19] thanx a lot Rory & Pici :) [14:19] paws: you will need to install an nrpe client on each machine and configure it with a plugin to report bandwidth. that's why I mentioned it might be overkill [14:19] paws: It's sort of enterprise-level === d3fc0n is now known as Guest93465 [14:22] Hello all [14:23] Hello there === embed-ns is now known as phil-ns === djD3f is now known as d3fc0n [14:50] Hi - I just got a SLI setup, trying to run triple head (Friend sold me his build really cheap, couldnt pass it up).

I'm using it on three machines (home, work, and my wifes computer) but its definitely less stable that 13.04 was. Often freezes, errors during startup, things not working. Thankfully I haven't updated my mothers machine to 13.10 yet, and I guess I won't until 14.04..., just wanted to share :P [15:18] what kind of cards?

IIRC support for 13.04 is only 9 months. [15:21] lose* [15:21] Ahh lol ya makes sense now i have a measly gtx 570. [15:21] phunyguy: but I still will be able to upgrade to 14.04 later, right? [15:22] JStalin, I doubt it [15:22] although I have been wrong before [15:23] JStalin, you may be able to upgrade to 14.04 early... but the path would be 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04 I think === EagleScreen is now known as Guest81826 [15:23] I am not sure how long it will take then to cut off the upgrade path [15:23] payam: and debian, well I got used to stable systems (since winXP) , I don't like the idea of moving everything all the time, and even if I could do it for my machines, I don't want to reinstall everything for my women :P [15:24] phunyguy: so I guess my mother will receive another Christmas gift :P [15:24] JStalin, 12.04 works well if you want stability, and that has 5 years [15:24] 12.04 <3 [15:24] phunyguy: thats why I'm waiting 14.04 [15:25] its also LTR afaik [15:25] LTS*, and yes [15:25] right [15:25] regular releases aren't designed to skip releases anymore [15:25] They give you a few months to upgrade, and that's it. [15:27] anyway its still more stable than windows7 on similar machine, I mean friend at work, have to restart his system few times a week, whole system crashing on my ubuntu is extremely rare [15:28] I have a super stable Xubuntu 13.10 laptop, and Ubuntu 12.04 desktop. No complaints here. [15:28] 12.04 server is rock solid and never dies.

[16:11] lirakis, !pastebinit | lirakis [16:11] lirakis ctrl alt t works fine here [16:11] !pastebinit | lirakis [16:11] lirakis: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [16:11] no no - not control alt t [16:12] MonkeyDust, once I am in the terminal, ctrl + shift + t intermitantly works to create a new tab [16:12] imghost, ... im confused, what am I supposed to pastebin? [16:12] imghost, but should i continue reporting bugs? is it even relevant any longer? [16:12] lirakis works fine here [16:13] Anarhist, you should report the bugs :) [16:13] MonkeyDust, like i said, it works intermittently for me, some times it works great, then it will just stop and not start working again [16:13] lirakis, now its working? ctrl + alt+t? [16:14] imghost, that was never the issue [16:14] imghost, i'll keep bombarding the void wit them then [16:14] imghost, i can open a terminal with ctrl+alt+t [16:14] imghost, creating a new tab within a terminal is flakey [16:14] lirakis, under terminal [16:14] imghost, aka ctrl+shift+t seems to work fine for a while, then it will just stop working === Guest46896 is now known as Duderino222 [16:16] lirakis, ok, Anarhist, good luck and if the bug is realy serious then most probably it will get fixed, just report it at luanchpad.net [16:17] lirakis i think it will not have a high priority [16:18] MonkeyDust, agreed seems like no one will even try to solve it :D [16:18] im just wondering if anyone else has experienced this on 13.10 because i know there have been other keybinding issues such as the vertical window movement [16:19] i wasnt sure if there were some other gnome changes that made things behave strangely [16:20] whoop === nxfrx_ is now known as nxfrx [16:25] Does anyone know how to copy python modules/packages installed using apt ?

[16:39] @asshat i successfully installed canon lbp2900B..but everytime i restart the pc, i have to remove and register the printer [16:40] @gvikaskc are you using default drivers?

I'm having trouble enabling xinerama. I can get the login screen fine, but logging in hangs with black screen and mouse cursor. Starting X from TTY does same and last line printed is loading extension NV-CONTROL. Ive even tried using the nvidia-331 drivers, and modified Xorg.conf to have SLI=On and MultiGPU=On too, same problem [16:44] ok [16:44] @gvikasck if that works then add it on startup [16:44] Apparently everyone in here is an asshat [16:44] asshat is a helpful guy [16:44] asshat: You haven't helped me yet ;) [16:45] holyguyver: what's your problem? [16:45] Does preseeding RAID work? It seems like I've tried a dozen suggestions from the web, but nothing works. It keeps making swap partitions that I'm not asking it to make! [16:45] Where can I find a list of the fonts included by default in Ubuntu? [16:45] Are there any libre fonts similar to these http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=401 ? [16:45] Could someone please tell me if there is a libre font similar to diploma or olde english? I already checked on google with no luck in getting an answer. [16:45] holyguyver, ubottu gave you an url to the ubuntu fonts [16:45] !patience | holyguyver [16:45] holyguyver: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [16:46] OerHeks: No ubottu gave me a link to the official ubuntu font [16:46] holyguyver: i'm not sure what fonts there are exactally but you can add fonts to libre office pretty easily [16:46] holyguyver: The Google Web Fonts perhaps [16:47] holyguyver: add fonts from any font website to /user/share/fonts [16:47] is there something i can do to blacklist tor connections? [16:47] holyguyver: restart libreoffice and they will show up [16:47] asshat: Rory : I am not looking for fonts for me, I am looking for what fonts I can use in css that everyone will be able to see on their systems [16:47] holyguyver: Then use Google Web Fonts that's exactly what they're for [16:47] holyguyver: http://www.google.com/fonts [16:48] holyguyver: then you're looking in the wrong place, you're looking for general css fonts not ubuntu fonts [16:48] holyguyver: Were you aware this is the Ubuntu support channel? [16:48] joshuap: are you trying to blacklist all tor connections or just some/a specific ones? [16:48] all, please [16:48] asshat: Rory : I figure libre fonts would be on all systems [16:49] holyguyver: People can only see fonts they have installed, or that you embed. The Google Fonts site allows you to embed the fonts and they are licensed for that [16:49] asshat: Rory : also I wanted to make sure ubuntu users could see my website as I intended it to look [16:49] joshuap: you can use ufw to do it [16:49] holyguyver: fonts wont be an issue [16:50] Rory: Thank you [16:50] asshat: sorry for asking this, but could you explain it as if i was a noob? [16:51] JoshuaP: Are you running a server? [16:51] Rory: yes [16:51] JoshuaP #ubuntu-server [16:52] ... [16:52] JoshuaP: You need to find a list of TOR exit nodes, and add firewall rules to block these IPs [16:52] With respect, you ought to know how to do that if you are considering running a server === hexed_ is now known as hexed [16:53] Rory: you're probably right, but yolo :P [16:53] JoshuaP: Why do you want to blck all tor connections? what sort of server is it?

[16:57] bazhang no [16:57] ok it dint work [16:57] nxfrx, what "didn't work" [16:57] cortexA9: as sum up: shrink the windows with the windows disk utility and choose the free space in the ubuntu installer [16:57] how else can i change system language via console [16:58] nxfrx, did you read the link [16:58] k1l can i use wubi ? [16:58] yes i did [16:58] Does the server iso have unity gui? [16:58] !work | nxfrx [16:58] nxfrx: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [16:58] i read alot of websites [16:58] AndChat399636, no gui with server [16:58] AndChat399636: Ubuntu server does not have a GUI by default. You can install any GUI that you want, though. [16:59] cortexA9: I wouldnt go on wubi if I were you [16:59] because i tried with wubi [16:59] well ill get back with details [16:59] anyone know if its possible to install 13.04's imagemagick on 12.04? [16:59] and doesnt work. [16:59] maybe pastebin them [16:59] not with wubi :/ [16:59] k baz [16:59] AndChat399636: the server install is pure CLI. If you want a desktop OS, Install the desktop ISO [16:59] thnkz [16:59] Thank you [16:59] I actually don't want gui [17:00] AndChat399636: or if you dislike Unity, install Xubuntu, Kubuntu or Lubuntu and you will get a different default sessioj [17:00] so there is not a good installer for windows ? [17:00] AndChat399636: then server is great, or ubuntu minimal [17:01] brendan`: You can compile imagemagick from source. This is useful in case you need support for 16-bit images for example [17:01] cortexA9: what is wrong with the way i explained? [17:01] Hi all [17:01] k1l: because i dont know if i can shrink.. [17:01] Thank you action [17:01] DLC, but the package install won't work? [17:01] AndChat399636: and if you pretend to run any games at all, ditch unity [17:01] Is icedtea the recommended java plugin? [17:01] cortexA9: if you cant shrink you cant install. thats it. you need at least one partition [17:02] brendan`: sorry, i mixed it up with libgraphicsmagic [17:02] I don't use unity [17:02] np, im inquiring about imagemagick package [17:04] brendan`: Generally it's a bad idea to mix releases. You get into problems with different versions of dependencies being required, and if package names change between releases you can end up with a real mess. [17:04] cortexA9: It is possible to shrink your Windows partition with tools like Parted Magic. Judging by your questions, it seems like you're at risk of breaking your Windows installation by attempting to install a dual-boot setup. I suggest you install VirtualBox and create a Linux virtual machine in order to get started learning Linux. [17:04] ok k1l done [17:04] 500 GB k1l [17:04] for ubuntu [17:05] xevwork yes, always backup first, if you start changing partitions [17:05] i don't shrink a windows partition. [17:05] but another.. [17:05] i use windows in vbox [17:05] yeah, im not in favor of it [17:05] cortexA9: Linux installers have supported shrinking a Windows partition and installing to a new partition on the same drive with dual-boot since the 1990s. [17:06] cortexA9: choose that for ubuntu (best is to make on extended partition and put one partition for / one for /home and one swap if you want swap, into that.) === pako is now known as Guest4912 [17:07] k1l: There is no reason to prefer an extended partition, and for a new user it's usually best to have a single linux partition so you don't run out of space where you actually need it. [17:07] cortexA9, always keep a live cd or usb as a backup on physical device:) [17:07] guys how to use fcrackzip to crack password protected zip file with brute-force method [17:07] need help [17:07] cortexA9: or resize in Windows, which I find favourable. [17:07] so there is not a good win installer right ? [17:08] cortexA9: wubi is a try before you buy, not a long term solution [17:08] jhutchins: you never know how much primary he already got there. [17:08] fwl731, this channel does not support cracking, thanks. [17:08] cortexA9: there is a excellent installer. just like you would install windows. [17:08] cortexA9: The Linux installers have worked well enough that there has been little reason to develop an installer that runs under windows. Just boot to the installer instaed. [17:08] okk [17:09] cortexA9: Installing to a windows filesystem has some serious compromises and is usually not a good solution. [17:09] so [17:09] better to do a DVD right ? [17:09] cortexA9: take a usb-stick [17:09] cortexA9: A CD with netinstall is a good way to go, that way you only download what you actually use. [17:10] cortexA9: usb works well too. [17:10] cortexA9,just fyi linux use ext4, windows ntfs so keep that in mind when ever you doing partition [17:11] ok thanks [17:11] downloading ubuntu right now [17:12] cortexA9: either is fine, the DVD just hasd more apps available on the install media [17:13] cortexA9, read the installing instructions from the ubuntu website and then proceed :) === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW [17:14] has nouveau gotten to the point of direct rendering yet?

[17:46] create a .desktop file there, set proper permissions, search for the app in unity and drag to your unity bar [17:46] it's an wireless mouse [17:47] Shadowslasher: explanation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles [17:47] but i have lost it's bluetooth device that came along with it [17:47] xtriz: then probably not, but what is the model of the mouse [17:47] !testdisk | deletedsteve [17:47] ok.... how about this.... Where is the journal actually stored? (part of the hdd, i had a drive with 3 partitions, grub/user/swap) [17:48] !info testdisk [17:48] testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.14-1ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 534 kB, installed size 1269 kB [17:48] it's amkette optimum wireless mouse that's what written on it === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [17:48] Thanks avenger [17:49] np man [17:49] xtriz: no, you will have to buy a replacement reciever, reprogram a different reciever, or a new mouse [17:49] hello guys, anyone has a link for how to build mesa and load it instead of the system default? I'm running ubuntu 13.10 (just upgraded from 13.04), I'm also using xorg-edgers PPA, I'm trying to run Metro Last Light on my macbook pro with an intel hd 3000, I've seen this game runs on this graphics, but on windows, and by now, even with the current xorg-edgers I was unable to make it run, so, I'd like to try building my own mesa [17:49] third call, and last [17:49] ok... so.... no one seems to know where the journal is stored, how about how "deep" it goes before being over-written? Months? Days? 100 file entries? [17:50] then I'll close this damned xchat [17:50] asshat, ok thakns for the info [17:50] give it a way to recover any? i dont want make ll new because i use also windows encrypted and have ubuntu encrypted and than i need to decrypt windows, make all manuual again etc [17:51] now I remember why I hate IRC so much [17:51] deletedsteve, did you try to recover the data with "testdisk" [17:51] img: I don't have the drive anymore. I'm asking for theory [17:52] deletedsteve: your issue is not in any way trivial [17:52] ak1l: I don't want a solution per se, I want to know how possible it COULD be to recover my data [17:52] I want to take zero action. [17:53] deletedsteve: so i would recomment to make zero drama out of it [17:53] I had files on that my ubuntu PC, i deleted them, then for 3 years ONLY booted up to run XBMC off of my network... how possible could it be to receover those files? [17:53] deletedsteve: i dumped 1tb accidentally and recovered all but probably 10gb [17:53] deletedsteve, theory says that whenever you run a live cd or usb then you can use preinstalled parted so first you have to check whether your all hard drives are mounted or not? if mounted then unmount first then mount that hdd from which you want to recover files [17:54] mike: but that was quickly recovered right? [17:54] deletedsteve: within minutes [17:55] deletedsteve: Are you trying to find out how to recover files, or to find out if someone else could recover them from your drive? [17:55] jhutchins: exactly [17:55] deletedsteve: Exactly what? [17:55] deletedsteve: it will kind of toss the scraps in a pile and then you can look at it and figure out you need to dump the programs or hat have you from that [17:56] *what [17:56] I'm trying to figure out if someone could recover my files, I sold that PC and didn't get a chance to wipe it entirely, only go to wipe 150gb off the top of the drive [17:56] deletedsteve: Given sufficient motivation, yes they could be recoverd. [17:57] deletedsteve, recovery of files can be possible to some extent when there is no over write [17:57] deletedsteve: truecrypt [17:57] deletedsteve: i suggest you better talk about that in the offtopic channel #ubuntu-offtopic since we dont have an actual support issue with it. [17:57] deletedsteve: Even a DOD wipe is not 100% guaranteed to make them unrecoverable. We generally require a DOD wipe plus physical destruction. [17:57] img: that's what I'm wondering about. If the journal is equired or not to receover [17:58] jhutch: yea, I'll need to look someday how a drive that's been wiped could still be recoverable, never understood that. like the bits could have a memory [18:00] deletedsteve: See PM for some references, this is not on topic for this channel. [18:00] Ok... so I put 100gb on my ubuntu box. Deleted it. Spent 3 years running XBMC off of network files. Fsck ran every 2-3 months, I did one big update once, formated the drive to NTFS and wiped 150gb off the top...... Chance of someone recovering my files (work and taxes).... seems pretty minimal [18:01] deletedsteve: testdisk/photorec maybe [18:01] deletedsteeve: just do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX a couple of times and unless they are ridiculously determined they can't get anying off of it [18:01] What it is the easyest way to install Lubuntu on Asus eepc and wich version ? [18:02] urielvigilant: use a usb stick [18:02] drive is gone, I can do no more wiping. If that weren't the case I'd take a 12ga slug to the drive. [18:02] deletedsteve: seems excessive [18:03] deletedsteve: a single pass of /dev/zero is enough to utterly destroy the data on any drive beyond all hope of recovery [18:03] asshat : some people say i will find problems installing lubuntu 12.04 in machines with less the 4 gb or with 4gb ram [18:03] deletedsteeve: it was in ext3 or 4 as i understand it and then you formatted it to ntfs and wiped some [18:03] ops 4 gb harddrive like eepc [18:03] deletedsteeve: you're good [18:03] i sledged a hard drive once. [18:03] it wasnt my drive. [18:03] asshat: you think? [18:03] urielvigilant: you can install with even 2gb of ram and have a decent install, are you talking about hdd space? [18:04] I'd really like to be able to logically reduce my axiety about this' [18:04] we had a big degaussing coil at a hospital where i worked. [18:04] deletedsteve: yeah, someone is more likley to dig through your trash and piece together bits of paper to get info [18:04] that sure nuked the everliving daylights out of them. [18:04] asshat: sold the whole PC after partially wiping to a kid who said he'd try and make it a hackintosh [18:05] iirc the drives werent ever even usable again [18:05] deletedsteve: I don't even bother wiping drives any more [18:05] :D [18:05] deletedsteeve: it's probably gone but even if it's not people looking for that sort of info will see that it's an ntfs drive and look for something with that fieltype, if your data was in ext3/4 the they wont know to look there [18:05] deletedsteve: I just chuck 'em in the mixed metals pile at work [18:05] gave me concern that he's not dummy. I never told him it even had EXT3/Linux so he's have to be REALLY good [18:05] deletedsteve: you're good === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY [18:06] I just seem to have worked myyslef up into a mess thinking about the extreme tiny possibility of this kid getting my work files [18:06] Asshat: thanks, that helps [18:06] deletedsteve: np, next time use lvm disk encyption [18:07] next time..... No joke. 12ga slugs. [18:07] I'll never sell a hdd again [18:07] use disk encryption anyway just in case it gets stolen or broken into [18:08] I need to know the dpkg command to get redmine/debconf configuration launched again. I thought I had copied it to the clipboard but it wasn't there when I went to the command line. [18:09] dpkg --reconfigure [18:10] Hi - I just got a SLI setup, trying to run triple head (Friend sold me his build really cheap, couldnt pass it up). I'm having trouble enabling xinerama.

Ive even tried using the nvidia-331 drivers, and modified Xorg.conf to have SLI=On and MultiGPU=On too, same problem [18:10] deletedsteve: handy hint - no-one except you gives the tiniest amount of a toss about your work files [18:10] deletedsteve: I'm sure this is a crushing blow to your ego, but I hope it sets your sense of paranoia at rest [18:11] gordonjcp: but i'd be looking for all sorts of funny pictures in there [18:11] asshat: [18:11] dpkg --reconfigure [18:11] dpkg: error: unknown option --reconfigure [18:11] first thing they're going to do is wipe it to reclaim the maximum ammount of space [18:11] speak for yourself, i photorec all hard drives and flash media i find in the garbage :) [18:11] cleintalive: you have to specify a package [18:11] love people's nude tumblr selfies [18:12] O.o [18:12] well this support chat turned weird real quick [18:12] oh, errr.

Srsly? ;) [18:15] shmup: ctrl+alt+f6 i believe [18:15] shmup, Try a nomodeset boot or a failsafe x from grub recovery and check the graphic drivers, are you using proprietary graphics? [18:16] yes, i am using the 319 nvidia proprietary drivers, Beldar [18:16] clientalive: sudo dpkg --purge redmine [18:16] clienalive: then install again [18:16] i've had issues with switching ttys on this os x keyboard. [18:16] Beldar: i will try that, one moment [18:17] shmup, From the ubuntu repos or nvidia, or a ppa, sometimes a kernel upgrade will cause this problem, you can try an earlier kernel from the grub boot. [18:18] shmup: function key [18:19] I may not be asking for the right thing or was unclear. I was in the process of a redmine install from the official ubuntu repo. I was in the second step where you are to select which database to use. I selected mysql, was told (by debconf I think) that it is not installed and to install redmine-mysql. I want to use mysql not sqlite. I saw there was the command I am to use to relaunch the setup/configuration listed at the bottom of the screen, [18:19] tried to copy it to the clipboard but it didn't, closed the window, ran sudo apt-get install redmine-mysql. Now I don't know what command that was to get the thing launched again. [18:20] can sbd help me install redshift from tarball???

[18:29] yep, that sounds clear.. thanks [18:29] shmup, You try a previous kernel from grub? === Wacko is now known as Wackoo [18:29] shmup, Use nicks here if you are addressing another. [18:30] stormy98_: how about rename 's/-//' * ; and $rename 's/_//' *; [18:30] Beldar: you know what, i did not. i do have two versions, and i should hilight nicks. sorry. trying older kernel now. [18:30] sory that message for ST0RMHAWK [18:30] asshat: np [18:30] shmup, Cool, I suspect that kernel will work, proprietaries generally don't follow a kernel upgrade. [18:31] would that work for all subdirectories though? [18:31] ClientAlive: what about sudo dpkg-reconfigure redmine [18:34] or is that just the same command [18:34] Beldar: okay so here's all i know: two diff kernals, and i've tried both with and without nomodeset, and it always results in Gnome login, logging in, black screen with blinking cursor. [18:34] hi [18:35] hi killer [18:35] hey [18:36] shmup, Not sure than my self you might look up a a compiz unity reset for your exact release if you are running unity and have tweaked the desktop. [18:36] doh..couldn't finish the software update however i retried that [18:36] shmup, You using the gnome shell? Is it a ppa version if so? [18:37] Beldar: yeah, using ppa gnome shell [18:37] mike-irssi: brings up a gui but I've gotten that before and it isn't the one. What I had was not a terminal based window but a window of it's own with the system theme. It was a a step to configure the database for use with redmine; and, from past experience, it would have then asked for the admin database password, then created a redmine database for redmine with that database program (mysql in my case). From there idk, never gotten past that [18:37] shmup, Probably the problem, you can ppa-purge it. [18:37] Beldar: oh wait no i am using official gnome-shell, so when i said 3.10 did i lie? [18:37] Beldar: not sure what gnome official repos are using [18:37] point. [18:37] brb [18:38] shmup, what ubuntu release are you running? [18:39] Beldar: 13.10 i was using 12.04 at work and almost wish i still was, hah [18:41] shmup, gnome shell 3.10 has to be a ppa , I'm in 14.04 right now and the stock shel is 3.8 [18:42] im installing ubuntu on an external drive for the first time-- how should I format the drive if I want one partition ubuntu and one partition shared files with windows? [18:42] shmup, I use the shell and honestly have found the ppa versions problematic, but that is only my experience. [18:42] Clucker, gonna run slow on an external at best. [18:42] Beldar: okay so lets say i'm in a root shell, and wanted to purge the gnome3 team's ppa [18:43] why is that? [18:43] Beldar: looking in sources.list.d i see gnome3-team-gnome3-saucy [18:43] !ppa-purge | shmup [18:43] shmup: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [18:44] shmup, use the purge follow the instructions. [18:44] hello all, I am trying to install an older version (12.04) of ubuntu because the version installed (13.10) apparently does not support my wifi card. Ubuntu 13.10 is already installed, but now my laptop will not boot from the usb that has the live cd on it...any suggestions? [18:45] pgar231, do you get any errors or it simply starts ubuntu from the hdd right away? [18:45] pgar231, You aware of the per-session boot menu outside the bios? You have checked the sum of the ISO, and know the usb boots? [18:45] \Hi all! I would like to access my desktop from another device. I would also like to be able to choose the resolution at connection like RDP. Also I would like to be able to connect with different users. Do you have any Idea? VNC doesn't seems fit my need! === wcchandler is now known as jppunaqyre [18:46] Beldar: after purging this, i'm not entirely sure if i'm thinking correctly: do i have to install gnome again? [18:46] ezra-s: no errors, just a blank black screen [18:46] like it does not even try to read from usb drive [18:46] shmup, Nope the stock shell should be there. [18:46] but it prompts me do i want to install or try ubuntu w/o install [18:47] !nomodeset | pgar231 [18:47] pgar231: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [18:47] Beldar: where do I put that in? I tried entering that as per suggested by some1 previously but no luck [18:47] I am entering it in.... [18:47] pgar231, The link shows you. [18:48] doesnt tell you where [18:48] I just checked it [18:48] pgar231, Note I asked you two questions as well. [18:48] pgar231, Yes it does look closer. [18:48] Beldar: well that was less than satisfying, hah. rebooted and same results. [18:48] beldar, why would an external HD run ubuntu slow? It's just a 5400 rpm drive, usb 3 [18:48] Beldar: you r not being helpful [18:48] i said it does not give any error. blank black screen [18:48] doesnt boot from the hdd [18:49] shmup, Try the original options, I have to assume you ran the purge correctly, have you tried any other desktops installed if there are any? [18:50] Clucker, usb 3 will run faster than usb 2 however not like an internal, and you did not mention usb 3 till now. [18:50] Beldar: yeah purge seemed to run correctly: ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [18:50] Beldar: all right, i'll go over the original thoughts [18:52] shmup, The older kernel may work now, you want the stock desktop anyway, and graphic drovers from the repos in general, others here are more up on what appears to be a graphic problem. [18:53] pgar231, Really, I asked two pertinant questions you have not answered and gave you a standard response to a black screen. [18:53] Beldar: So I have tried this usb on another laptop and it prompts me to install ubuntu and goes through the processes. So i know it is a working usb. When I try it on my laptop, it does not install ubuntu >> once I choose install it is a blank black screen. I tried entering "nomodeset" after "set gfxpayload=keep" [18:54] Beldar: what are your two pertinant questions again, my apologies/ [18:54] pgar231, on a live setting it is f6 at the gui that says try, install or check memory then choose nomodeset. [18:54] it does not even get that far [18:54] i dont get the GUI annd opt to hit f6 [18:54] that is my point [18:55] pgar231, How did you load the usb? [18:55] unetbootin [18:55] also downloaded the Live x64 iso from ubuntu [18:55] no success on both [18:55] but again, when I plug it into another laptop it loads and boots it from usb [18:56] I used this same usb to install the 13.10 version [18:56] pgar231, Ah, unetbootin skips that gui, you might try another loader, or find the tweak that gets it shown, and we are assuming still a nomodeset boot will get you in. [18:56] gotcha [18:56] thx man [18:56] do you have a suggestion for another loader? [18:57] pgar231, YOu in ubuntu to load it? [18:57] Beldar: I can be in ubuntu if necessary, but I have my win8 up now [18:58] pgar231, Use ubuntu and this multiloader. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [18:59] pgar231, There are usb loaders that work from windows that will show that first gui, I have W8 as well but this loader works well. [18:59] Beldar: thx again [18:59] no prob [19:00] Beldar: yeah i've tried ubuntu-desktop and same results, on both new/old kernel, both tried with nomodeset. curious, though.. if it was a graphics issue, driver issue, wouldn't nomodeset still get around that? [19:00] i'm still wondering about "it gets to try or install" and then "it doesn't even get that far" [19:01] shmup, Generally I would think so, have you done any tweaking to the desktop in general, themes, any other ppa's? [19:01] Beldar: numix theme and thats it i guess [19:02] it got to try or install part, then when I choose either it is just a black screen...like it does not proceed to the GUI option to hit F6 [19:02] but I will try Beldar's suggested loader [19:02] Beldar: i wonder, when its just blinking on a black screen, is there an error being output somewhere, logged, something, that i can maybe read into? [19:02] but what Beldar said was that before you choose either of those two options press f6 [19:02] shmup, Might be a problem, I don't really know, graphic stuff I have not had to really deal with, I have been just following channel norms on this. [19:03] mike-irssi, unetbootin skips that first gui and goes to a secondary install gui. [19:04] shmup: Can you boot into rescue/single user mode? [19:04] jhutchins: yeah i can [19:04] shmup: nomodeset addresses one specific video problem, it's not a universal fix. [19:04] jhutchins: all right, yeah, i can boot into recovery and get into a root shell if you have any suggestions [19:05] jhutchins, Thanks for looking at this. [19:05] shmup: /var/log/Xorg.0.log has a lot of "noise" in it, but you might find something there. [19:05] so i'm installing 13.10 on an 1 TB external drive-- half will be NTFS and the other EXT4, does this sound right and how much space should I allocate to swap partition? [19:05] shmup: Can you just switch to a console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 [19:05] does someone work with shotwell? i have some problems importing my photos from a different folder on my desktop. shotwell always freezes on import so i've to kill it via terminal. got these error on terminal ""** (shotwell:14310): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-VzAbRRQiEw"" [19:06] Clucker, For hibernate equal slightly larger than the ram for swap. [19:06] Clucker: 2x RAM up to 2G, 1X to 4G, stop at 4. === toristor is now known as Piper|Away [19:06] Beldar: gotcha [19:06] Clucker: Unless you need suspend-to-ram, in which case you need at least 1x. [19:06] I have 8 [19:06] jhutchins: see no i can't and i was wondering why. i've always been able to at other workstations. this one has an osx keyboard, and i've tried ctrl+alt+f1, but then ctrl+alt+cmd+f1. nothing. not sure? [19:07] jhutchins: also Xorg.0.log is empty [19:07] jhutchings: so if I have 8, go with 4? [19:07] shmup: Ok, it might be frozen at a different level. [19:07] shmup: Are there any other Xorg.* logs? [19:07] jhutchins: so if I have 8, go with 4? [19:07] jhutchins: yes a .old one [19:07] Clucker: Yes, that should be plenty. [19:08] thanks [19:08] shmup: Suggests that X is starting to load, writing a new file, then failing. [19:09] jhutchins: ah all right, i'm parsing log. lots of lines about contradicting itself at some resolution mode, then moving on, says it again at another resolution [19:09] jhutchins: i'll keep parsing [19:09] Clucker: I would dedicate about 2 GB to swap [19:10] pgar231: not 4?

[19:12] Clucker: Having a larger swap will also help with things that use tempfs. [19:13] Ok 4 it is [19:15] jhutchins: all i'm seeing are issue related to EDID and resolution contradictions then log ends with a pile of reuse xkmfile lines [19:15] jhutchins: i wish i actually had something useful to say heh [19:17] jhutchins: i made a new user and it works [19:17] jhutchins: wtf does that mean, should i just deleted my Xorg config? [19:18] s/deleted/delete [19:19] heya [19:21] I installed the AMD Catalyst drivers and now when my Xubuntu machine boots, I get nothing but a black screen. I can SSH into the machine so I can do things to it, but I can't get any display. It looks like X doesn't start, and running "startx" returns: "xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/mewtin/.XAuthority; X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting." [19:22] shmup: that means 'sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf' dont worry, X11 has abilities to autoconfige if there is no xorg.conf :) === Phoenix_31_m is now known as Phoenix === Phoenix is now known as Phoenix_m === Phoenix_m is now known as Phoenix_w [19:23] LordNed: are you sure, your card is still supported?

[19:26] LordNed: have you tried to reconfigre your X-server? [19:27] Does the used software for making a ubuntu bootable usb stick affect the ubuntu OS after beeing installed? The thing here is that I installed before Ubuntu with LiveLinux app, but later had to remove the ubuntu partition,then i made a bootable ubuntu usb stick using YUMI,and after running the OS,i mentioned that many pieces of softwares were missing so i had to install them manually(this is the case of YUMI) [19:27] sabayonuser, I've re-installed it, as well as run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. I looked in the X log, and there odesn't looke like anything wrong, it says it shut down succesfully [19:27] but with LiveLinux app,The OS was full with its features once i ran it === rickyb98bis is now known as RickyB98 [19:27] NuSue: on what kernel are you now and what kernel did you have when your fan was quiet?

[19:30] hassen: maybe its caused by the stick? === toristor is now known as Piper|Away [19:30] sabayonuser, it's the same stick used for both of the cases:YUMI and LiveLinux [19:30] odesk team application crashes when I start the minicam [19:31] shmup: as i know nvidia is not using the xorg.conf, but the xong.conf.d [19:31] sabayonuser: heh :x thanks [19:31] im working on a 12.04 laptop that doesnt wanna shutdown, says failed to shutdown services [19:31] sudo shutdown -h now? [19:32] Calinou: shutdown: time expected [19:34] i need an understanding in something, i suppose, because i fixed my problem and.... [19:34] earlier today at work when booting up and typing "plank" to start it, i decided to add . plank to .profile [19:35] i guess i'm surprised that a mistake like that can't offer any output, but i bet there is a logical reason [19:35] not sure why i tried sourcing that heh :x [19:36] hassen: to be honest i would suggest using pendrivelinux's UUI. but YUMI should be OK too. but MP3 is not installed by default due to its license as i know [19:36] Greetings. I am trying to install the nvidia-cuda-toolkit. I am having a dependency issue with nvidia-opencl-dev and nvidia-libopencl1-331. How can I install nvidia-cuda-toolkit with the 331 drivers? [19:36] shmup: congrats, that its working, always ask if you have questions ^_^ [19:38] sabayonuser, anyway everything was incredibly perfect when installed the ubuntu from that LiveLinux app, [19:38] forgot wheter it's LiveLinux or LinuxLive [19:38] the name [19:39] hi all. any way to check my system for hardware errors? i'm thinking something storage or network related is causing hickups and changing OS didn't seem to help [19:39] lo [19:39] can i ask a question ? [19:39] hi. how can I set up on my Ubuntu install that whenever some user logs in via SSH the history is cleared when they exit SSH? I want it to be for all users [19:40] hello. is there a software to turn a sim card reader into a fully working phone, or even a virutal android device? [19:40] hassen: thats strange... but you should use what works for you i guess ^_^ [19:40] so i loaded ubuntu from usb and chose the "try" option, if i update and upgrade and power down pc will it revert back to original ubuntu when i power up and choose try again ? [19:41] sabayonuser, that's too late,,just knew the difference after installed ubuntu :p [19:41] i think "try" means simply the live cd functionalty, all stuff is loaded into memory then, harddrive isnt changed or even needed kdz [19:41] HellTiger ah ok [19:41] damn, [19:41] wasted bandwidth [19:41] mon: you may try iotop and nmon to look for the causes [19:41] anyway if any serious changes would be made, you will get a explicit warning message before, kdz [19:42] ok so i have to install it onto a hdd [19:42] sabayonuser: i did. nothing sprang out but maybe i cant properly read it [19:42] hmmm [19:42] now to figure out how to dual boot, openelc and ubuntu [19:42] sabayonuser: user added precesses are: sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato and transmission [19:42] is it just me or are we having server problems today? [19:42] so a couple of python scripts mostly idling [19:43] sn33zy__: freenode is very unstable last days [19:43] kdz: that depends: if you enabled persistance, changes remain. if not, they dont [19:44] sabayonuser where can i enable persistance? === sarsaeol_ is now known as sarsaeol [19:44] Is chromium the know google chrome,but rebuilt for linux/ubuntu or what? I didn't find google chrome in the software center,nor could I install it with terminal after downloading its .deb package [19:45] mon: i would love to find what causes your hickups, but i pitty you cant tell in general...

[19:45] !chromium | hassen [19:45] hassen: You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [19:45] sabayonuser: no measury-kind of app which could stress-test or something? [19:46] sabayonuser: i'd even consider a login for you if you'd like. i'm desparate :) [19:46] was confused about both of them [19:46] im working on a 12.04 laptop that doesnt wanna shutdown properly, any hints to force it? says failed to kill processes [19:46] kdz: there are multiple ways to do this, depending on the OS in which you create the stick... [19:47] sabayonuser windows 7 and i used a program [19:47] short of compiling each component seperately, is there a way to get a more up to date LAMP package installed in 12.04 than the one currently available through apt-get [19:47] Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.1 [19:48] mon: never give your login away in an IRC ;P nmon and iotop pretty good monitors if you ask me ^_^ you might consider them...

[19:48] I was considering XAMPP which seems to have more up to date versions of apache, mysql and php [19:48] !xampp | xavierio07 [19:48] xavierio07: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [19:49] kdz: when you use UUI from pendrivelinux.com you are able to enable persistence with a single klick. but keep in mind, that it really is for testing and uncomparable to a real installation ;) [19:49] so the short answer is nothing available other than whats in the repo... ok thanks [19:49] xavierio07: if you need some newer version of one file i would look out for a PPA [19:49] sabayonuser thanks! [19:50] sarsaeol: holdon lemme try [19:50] k1l: thanks I'll look into PPA's [19:51] sabayonuser: i'll try that thanks [19:51] kdz: not a problem ^_^ keep asking :) === Piper|Away is now known as toristor [19:52] mon: i wish you good luck finding the misbehaving process ^_^ [19:52] sarsaeol: same issue, FAIL in red (killing all remaining processes) and freezes [19:55] i tryed with acpi=off but same result [19:55] I'm about to install 13.10 on my external HD, I have a primary drive and swap partition, what mount point do I use for the primary?

They show up as "unknown partition". vgscan finds no volume groups. Nothing interesting in dmesg. Any advice? They were showing up before I installed a couple of disks (and possibly reordered them so they appear as /dev/sd{a->b}, for example) [20:00] (did I exceed the line length limit there?) [20:00] (I finished with "example)") [20:00] sarsaeol: ctrl alt f1 seems not to work [20:01] lotuspsychje: have you tried… a hammer? [20:01] sarsaeol: lol [20:01] srry out of ideas, good luck though =/ [20:02] sarsaeol: tnx [20:03] So the partitions are showing up as "Linux" rather than "Linux LVM". Why might that happen? [20:05] Helo [20:05] strange..now i'm getting a very low download speed,while others around in the house's LAN are getting good bandwidths [20:05] h00k still there? got disconnected [20:05] Cna any one help me with my problem of my top most right menu (the logout and shutfown menu) [20:06] has dissapeared [20:06] Clucker: yep, in and out occasionally [20:07] h00k, alright so / for primary partition, is this ok if I'll be dual booting with windows? Windows is on my SSD and ubuntu will be on the external [20:08] Clucker: that should work, yep.

[20:27] could it be your firewall? [20:28] the host cant ping the windows VM either, but it can resolve its hostname [20:28] and theres no NAT on the VM no, the 2 are connected to a virtual switch [20:28] exit [20:28] I am certain that you can't have more then one return statement in the function but want to confirm ? [20:29] windows firewall disabled, i can ping it now [20:29] Agent86 you can have more than one return statement, e.g. if (something) { return a; } else { return b; } [20:30] aca20031 first thing on my mind: is the vm set to NAT or to bridged mode? [20:30] aca20031: oh right that, but what about just straight return x, return b, return c or something [20:30] yeah so i can ping it now. same issue though. [20:30] I mean you can't just have new lines with return, the print something then return and print some other stuff right. once it returns once it's done isn't it ? [20:30] Agent86 no you cant do that [20:31] ok I thought so just wanted to confirm that thanks [20:31] aca20031 same here, can't ping the VM [20:31] MonkeyDust the VMs are connected to the same virtual switch and connected to the host in bridged mode [20:31] i can ping it now, killed windows firewall [20:32] anyone know how to fix the wacom intuos 4 puck mouse buttons?

[20:35] aca20031 i can rdesktop to the VM, but not ping, it's odd [20:35] text in terminal disappears at random intervals [20:35] MonkeyDust yes, the host can RDP to the windows VM and ping it.

It has this UEFI thing, that i’m totally new to, meaning it comes with 1 partition for OEM, one for EFI, one C: for the OS and one other for something else. I got to ma [21:32] ke it to BIOS and set legacy mode, making it run USB with 13.10. Question is: If i want to make a Ubuntu installation (and possibly a win7 dual boot in the future) can i simply wipe this EFI and other partitions, and part the drive from the start, and make a normal BIOS to OS installation like my previous laptop? === BluesKaj_ is now known as BluesKaj === PDilyard_ is now known as PDilyard [21:35] How would i run a termial command on statup === kevin is now known as Guest6412 [21:38] salo , go into the bios/uefi and setup the uefi to legacy , and choose the boot legacy first option .

[21:51] so only those two ok [21:52] Guest6412, package managers like synaptic need to be edited too === ysahhiuu is now known as mrpararamtr [21:52] Guest6412: are you gonna show that error messages?

[22:00] Hi all! I would like to create a remote session on my desktop from another device. I would also like to be able to choose the resolution reconnect. And be able to connect multiple different users. [22:01] Actually I dont think there is anything wrong with my sources.list file I think its just a connection issues i'm having here [22:02] Yes i'm right it was just a connection issue [22:03] didnt make sense for the apt-get update to report correctly but apt-get upgrade not about to establish a handshake with the resource...unless of course there was a connection issue [22:03] jhutchins - yes. it's like there is no desktop running [22:03] sda: There are several ways to do that, vnc, rdp, xdmcp. [22:04] mechtn: Some configurations of rdp require that a session exist and be logged in to connect. [22:04] Thnx for the help anyway : ) [22:05] How would i run a terminal command at startup [22:05] jhutchins, xrdp i have problem with reconnection, vnc i cannot chose the resolution before connect, now i'm checking xdmcp [22:06] Hi, I just installed 13.04 but am not sure whether I did it in UEFI mode.

I have a NVIDIA graphics chip built into my mother board, and a AMD HD 6770 plugged into the pci slot. The computer dosn't see it at all. I thought the pci-e slot might be disabled, but The BIOS does not allow me to mess with PCI settings at all, nor dose it give me options about graphics. So, here is what im th [22:52] muchdoge1: use one or the mother [22:52] muchdoge1: you're going ot have problems missing those cards with good results wihtout effort [22:52] ikonia: er, what do you mean one or the other? [22:52] muchdoge1: either the nvidia or the amd [22:53] Is it possible to format the disk ubuntu is on while running ubuntu? without a live usb [22:53] ikonia, I would love to tun off the NVIDIA, but the problem is it wont recognize the AMD. [22:53] so if I do, I have no graphics, also I dont know how. [22:53] muchdoge1: so run off the nvidia. [22:53] muchdoge1: what's stopping you using the nvidia ? [22:53] ikonia, the nvidia is a piece of crap. The amd is a very nice card. [22:54] muchdoge1: ok, so disable the nvidia, and you'll probably find the amd will come to life, you will probably need to configure it better than default [22:54] ok, how would one disable a chip that is intigrated into the motherboard? [22:54] muchdoge1: in the bios ? [22:55] I do a rsync --exclude '/dirA/sds/' /dirA/ /dirB/ but nothing is copied. I get a "skipping directory ." output [22:55] no options for it. [22:55] muchdoge1: seems unlikley [22:55] ikonia: I know, but I ran around the bios for 4 hours last night, checking every option [22:56] muchdoge1: check the manual [22:56] rgr [22:56] lar4 what are we talking about? [22:56] just a straight rsync? [22:57] lar4: man rsync - LEARN how to use it [22:57] lickalott, it's an rsync command, it's supposed to copy a folder excluding a subfolder [22:57] lar4: instead of guessing [22:59] muchmoist: No option to turn off the graphics in the BIOS? [22:59] muchmoist: Sorry, I guess he gave up. [23:03] really, I have to do a dist-upgrade to get aptitude to install samba4? lol well thanks. [23:03] seemed to work [23:03] asdasjkda [23:03] dasda [23:04] OK now I did rsync /dirA /dirB and I get "skiping directory dirA".

[23:06] um [23:06] when you activate a vnc server [23:06] you connect to an ip correct? [23:06] you have vnc running on your ubuntu rig, and you want to know which IP to connect to from another system? (non ubuntu) [23:06] yes [23:06] ch1pasa: you can connect to an IP or FQDN - it's up to you [23:07] whats does ifconfig give you [23:07] you should have another interface name now. or...just try the ip of the system + port# that you are using [23:07] it gives me a lot [23:07] OR.... use openvpn <--- much better imo [23:07] ifconfig doesnt give me a port nor does the remote viewer [23:08] lar4 are you just trying to back stuff up? [23:08] lickalott, yeah [23:08] why does it not give me the option? [23:09] ifconfig won't give you a port. the port, unless you changed it, stays standard with vnc. so if you don't see a specific interface in ifconfig for your vnc then try the main IP (prob eth0) + the default vnc port (i.e. 192.168.1.1:943) [23:09] 192.168.1.130:943 doesnt work === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [23:10] lar4 - two options: Rsnapshot (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-rsnapshot-on-ubuntu-12-04) or a script (https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/serverguide.pdf Pg 294) [23:10] pastebin your ifconfig ch1pasa [23:11] it worked [23:11] now how do i find out my external ip?

[23:14] ch1pasa: are you connecting through a wireless router? [23:14] yeah and i selected forward ports automatically [23:14] yeah, but you pasted that after you said it worked. [23:15] is this all on an internal network? [23:15] oh oops [23:15] yes [23:15] the desktop is not on a wifi router [23:15] shouldn't matter [23:15] its direct connection [23:15] network is network [23:15] okay [23:15] so desktop is vnc server and is the client [23:16] just so I can paint the picture in my head [23:16] i want to use my iphone to see my ubuntu desktop computer [23:16] lickalott: Whatever vnc client your phone supports.

Then you will need to forward the ports on your router to allow outside connections [23:20] I am getting error when I do: sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon [23:20] see http://pastebin.com/PN79Crjc [23:20] connect to your wireless network and try your internal IP to see if it works. If that is successful, you need to forward the ports in your router and you'll be putting the ISP given IP address not the internal IP [23:21] okay [23:21] now i am forwarding the port [23:21] what port should i forward [23:21] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing [23:22] okay so its 5900 [23:22] just an opinion....teamviewer is a pretty stout program for what you're doing [23:22] but...handle yo bidness [23:22] yeah but everytime i install something through terminal it doesnt work [23:23] like for example i cant even install tor [23:23] ssh enabled on the ubuntu machine and connectbot on your phone [23:23] anyway...sidetrack [23:23] do you man....do you === will is now known as Guest19161 [23:26] Hello [23:27] Anyone here not too tired to help me with installation issues?

[23:41] all and any [23:41] from programming to writing openoffice documents [23:41] kandinski: then I'd suggest git [23:41] salo - dual boot or single install? [23:42] I just want it to be automated, not have to think about it [23:42] I think you can choose your destination for the dropbox folder locally kandinski [23:42] kandinski: then you are walking a line of balance between control and functionality. Dropbox is simpler. Git offers more [23:42] you can with winblows installs [23:43] yep, but $company, while happy for me to take work home in a laptop, absolutely forbids using dropbox [23:43] ch1pasa where you at homey? [23:43] kandinski: git / svn is pretty neat [23:43] hence the "dropbox clone" [23:43] kandinski: IIRC dropbox is built on something git-like [23:43] kandinski: there is also google drive and ubuntu one [23:43] yeah, I use git all the time [23:43] lickalott - My goal is to end with a 13.10 / Win7 dual boot. Current status is a newly bought pc with some sort of DEMO of Win 8.1, which i want to erradicate and replace with ubuntu. 2nd phase would be to add win7 as dual boot [23:43] kandinski can you run openvpn from work so you can have direct access to the files from home?

Am I missing something? [23:50] bad salo [23:51] no....there is much more to it. You're dealing with effed up bios issues going from 8 - 7 [23:51] ch1pasa [23:52] resc_user_3019 how far do you get into the install process? [23:53] jesus lickalott. you got me scared with the 8 - 7 .... =) so what are my options? Can I get a win 8.1 FULL version on top of the current DEMO one, and add Ubuntu on dual boot with this UEFI thing? [23:54] I am trying to install avahi-utils and it keep failing [23:54] it's not impossible salo, just not easy. windows 8 is a big fail imho. So i think it's worth the research. [23:54] see http://pastebin.com/wXMTrs9m [23:54] i can install linux completely. but it will erase the entire hdd. [23:55] but yes, to your question. You can install ubunut side by side with winblows [23:55] hahaha winblows [23:55] your drive it partitioned resc_user_3019?
