| syntax_ | Hi, I just ran the command "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix any broken packages and there weren't any. After which I tried to install wireshark via "sudo apt-get install wireshark" and I got the following error message "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages". I was wondering if anyone could help me? | 00:10 |
| syntax_ | If you would like I can pastbin the output for both commands. | 00:11 |

| lysobit | Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 (EFI boot), but Ubuntu says "no existing operating system detected" | 00:19 |
| syntax_ | Beldar: http://pastebin.com/XzqiKCzc | 00:19 |
| Beldar | lysobit, Have you imaged/cloned W8 and made a rcovery disc yet? | 00:19 |
| Beldar | syntax_, Not me the channel, and keep all the info together. | 00:20 |
| lysobit | Beldar: My laptop comes with a recovery partition. It's not a concern for me | 00:20 |
| syntax_ | Beldar, ok..., sorry about that. | 00:20 |
| Zal | where can I find a changelog for differences between Precise LTS Amazon machine imgages that are released? | 00:20 |
| syntax_ | This was the error message I received after attempting to install the wireshark package: http://pastebin.com/XzqiKCzc | 00:20 |
| Beldar | lysobit, We see people destroy their setups in this dual boot scenario so I would make an image and the recovery disc. | 00:21 |
| * hassen wonders if he can use proprietary drivers like his ATI Catalyst center that he used to use in Win7 | 00:21 | |
| lysobit | Beldar: It would be nice if I can even get Ubuntu to actually detect Windows 8 so I can even dual boot in the first place ;-) | 00:21 |
| Beldar | !uefi | lysobit resize windows internally | 00:22 |
| ubottu | lysobit resize windows internally: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:22 |
| k1l | !fglrx | hassen | 00:23 |
| ubottu | hassen: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 00:23 |
| Beldar | Zal, Amazon machine imgages? | 00:23 |
| hassen | k1l, understood | 00:24 |
| lysobit | Beldar: I followed the instructions on that page--step #4 is the part I'm stuck at since Ubuntu is not even detecting Win8. And there's no QuickBoot/Intel Smart Start in my BIOS | 00:24 |
| Zal | Beldar, Amazon Machine *Images* :-) | 00:24 |
| Beldar | lysobit, Is this your W8 install on a msdos partitioning scenario? | 00:24 |
| bennypr0fane | hello, I have this gamepad that is incorrectly identified by the kernel, it loads a driver for a different model: it thinks this: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0f30:0110 Jess Technology Co., Ltd Dual Analog Rumble Pad | 00:24 |
| Beldar | Zal, What is that? | 00:25 |
| bennypr0fane | but it's a Saitek device | 00:25 |
| lysobit | Beldar: I don't follow | 00:25 |
| lysobit | Beldar: It's W8 pre-installed on a laptop | 00:25 |
| Beldar | lysobit, Did you install W8? | 00:25 |
| lysobit | Beldar: Nope, laptop came installed with it | 00:25 |
| Zal | Beldar, it is an image file used to launch a virtual machine in Amazon's EC2 environment. These images are released by Ubuntu, and we're seeing segfaults using the most recent image. I'm trying to debug the cause. | 00:25 |
| bennypr0fane | as a consequence, I can't use it in a game bcs the button are somehow mapped in the wrong way, that Jess Tech dvice probably doesn't have the same number of buttons | 00:26 |
| Beldar | lysobit, Than it is most likely a uefi setup, I would doubt you are missing the bios stuff, but anything is possible. | 00:26 |
| bennypr0fane | how can make it so the right driver is loaded? | 00:26 |
| lysobit | Beldar: I know for sure it's a UEFI setup | 00:27 |
| Beldar | lysobit, Are you shutting W8 down completely when booting ubuntu or using the hybrid hibernate/sleep? | 00:28 |
| Beldar | also when checking the bios? | 00:29 |
| essial | bekks: I'm pretty sure Latex doesn't track requirements to tests in a requirements traceability matrix :-/ | 00:29 |
| lysobit | Beldar: hmm admittedly I may have FastStartup enabled - but since that's a Windows settings would that prevent Ubuntu from detecting Windows? | 00:31 |
| Beldar | lysobit, Hard to say, you want windows shutdown completely though, you will not have that option with a dual boot for safe use. | 00:31 |
| lysobit | I'm going to try with FastStartup disabled and get back to you if it still doesn't detect | 00:32 |
| Beldar | lysobit, Being in that state also may make the bios not show all the options I suspect, not sure how you would access the bios with it shutdown that way. | 00:32 |
| === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY | ||
| Beldar | lysobit, The not detect may also be due to there not being an unallocated space ready for ubuntu, again let me stress a complete imaging of the W8 and a recovery disc made, this is good insurance if things go wrong. | 00:34 |

| Beldar | syntax_, I see it as one word, just not sure to be honest. | 01:16 |
| syntax_ | Beldar: ok, thanks for your help. I will keep trying. Do you suggest anything other than what we tried? Things I might google? | 01:16 |
| Beldar | syntax_, I would look on the web fopr the missing package, maybe the name has changed. | 01:16 |

| trism | syntax_: in software-properties-gtk on the first page "Canonical supported free software and open-source software (main)" it is the first checkbox | 01:42 |

| syntax_ | trism: its listed different on mine but the first one is not checked | 01:42 |
| trism | syntax_: good, check it and then exit, then you can run: sudo apt-get update; again | 01:43 |
| linuxlite1969 | <Beldar> the second says the same ...it says that unable to lock the administrator directory | 01:43 |
| trism | syntax_: at that point you should be able to: sudo apt-get install wireshark; | 01:43 |

| CptBley | Other than that I tried to boot to windows XP and it deleted a massive amount of files on the NTFS file system and then when I selected Ubuntu from the boot menu it loaded GRUV | 02:02 |
| Beldar | CptBley, Is this a wubi install of ubuntu, what bootlaoder has been showing, two questions here. | 02:03 |
| CptBley | bootloader? | 02:04 |

| Beldar | CptBley, Ah a wubi, do you have a XP install disc? | 02:04 |
| CptBley | No | 02:04 |
| trism | syntax_: success I think! try: sudo apt-get install wireshark; | 02:04 |
| Beldar | CptBley, You need one to reload the XP boot to the mbr, or an image that has saved the mbr. | 02:05 |
| CptBley | I can boot to XP | 02:05 |
| CptBley | but not Ubuntu, it just wants me to play in grub | 02:05 |
| Beldar | CptBley, from grub? | 02:05 |
| CptBley | idk | 02:05 |
| CptBley | idk how to use grub | 02:05 |
| CptBley | but I can boot to Xp from the boot menu | 02:06 |

| mrlesmithjr | and get out of here if you hate linux because of not understanding | 02:39 |
| CptBley | Because I run a MINECRAFT SERVER | 02:39 |

| CptBley | Because nobody helps me | 02:39 |
| CptBley | This is why I hate ubuntu | 02:40 |

| Beldar | CptBley, you need help from a wubi support helper, there is only really one. | 02:40 |
| jonno11 | CptBley: It would help if you weren't a pain in the ass | 02:40 |
| jonno11 | CptBley: What's your question? | 02:40 |

| mrlesmithjr | it sounds like he tried to dual boot win/ubuntu the grub loader is not finding his ubuntu partition therefore dropping him to a grub loader | 02:42 |
| Beldar | CptBley, Hardly anyone here uses wubi, and you have removed file that you have not even identified. Wubi is the last thing you should have been using | 02:42 |
| === Guest59501 is now known as andrex|off | ||
| KI7MT | jonno11, windows trashed the mbr, and he's stuck at the grub boot prompt, probably needs to re-inatall grub | 02:42 |
| CptBley | I didn't use wubi | 02:43 |
| CptBley | Im not stuck at the grub boot prompt I'm in a terminal interface | 02:43 |
| CptBley | I didn't use wubi | 02:43 |
| mrlesmithjr | that is your grub loader | 02:43 |
| Beldar | CptBley, you said you did "<CptBley> it is a wubi install" | 02:43 |
| CptBley | I used an .iso opener | 02:43 |
| KI7MT | You said earlier grub promt | 02:43 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| CptBley | I didn't think there was a difference | 02:43 |
| CptBley | its a command line interface | 02:44 |
| CptBley | I used a iso opener and installed it using that | 02:44 |
| KI7MT | CptBley, Quote: I then restarted and booted into ubuntu 12.04 LTS from the boot menu and it appeared with a command line interface with the prefix grub> | 02:44 |
| xangua | CptBley: so you used wubi | 02:44 |
| CptBley | yeah | 02:44 |
| CptBley | idk | 02:44 |
| mrlesmithjr | what you need to do it follow the link i put out and reload the windows mbr and get rid of grub. then go grab virtualbox or something and run ubuntu there | 02:44 |
| mrlesmithjr | great for a newbie | 02:45 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| CptBley | I have important files on my ubuntu | 02:45 |
| KI7MT | Im sure you ahve a backup right? | 02:45 |
| CptBley | no | 02:45 |
| mrlesmithjr | so you don't hose up your windows install and come in here griping about how much you hate something becuase of the lack of understanding when everyone here is trying to help but you whine | 02:45 |
| KI7MT | Well that's the first lesson learned now isnt' it. | 02:45 |
| CptBley | -_- | 02:46 |
| CptBley | Excuse me but I shouldn't have had to back up | 02:46 |
| mrlesmithjr | WTF! | 02:46 |
| somsip | CptBley: and that's lesson #2 | 02:46 |
| CptBley | for gods sake | 02:46 |
| mrlesmithjr | should have 3 backups :) | 02:46 |
| Beldar | mrlesmithjr, swearing or acronyms of are not allowed | 02:46 |
| CptBley | is there a way I can recover the files in wondows | 02:46 |
| somsip | CptBley: did you install ubuntu on it's own partition? | 02:47 |
| CptBley | idk | 02:47 |
| CptBley | I don't know anything about computers | 02:47 |
| somsip | CptBley: so that's where it goes from wanting to help you to you making it difficult. | 02:47 |
| KI7MT | Indeed. | 02:47 |
| CptBley | I don't think I did | 02:48 |
| CptBley | because I could go into host in ubuntu and get all my files from windows | 02:48 |
| somsip | CptBley: you mean, when you booted to ubuntu you could access windows files? But you are now asking if you can recover ubuntu files from windows, yes? | 02:49 |
| CptBley | yes | 02:49 |
| somsip | CptBley: so can you boot into windows in any way? | 02:49 |
| CptBley | somsip: Yes | 02:50 |
| KI7MT | The answer to that is yes, but it's way beyond the scope of this channel | 02:50 |
| somsip | CptBley: ISTR there is something that can be installed in Windows that allows linux partitions to be mounted and read. But you will need to search it. Something like' ext4 from windows' might get you started | 02:51 |
| shreezbot_ | Is there a way to run a vhd created in Microsoft Hyper-V in Linux? | 02:53 |
| KI7MT | shreezbot_, you could look into virtualbox-fuse, but it's not stright forward. | 02:54 |
| shreezbot_ | Cool! Thanks for the info! :) | 02:56 |
| shreezbot_ | And the warning! | 02:56 |
| shreezbot_ | I'm running on Windows 2012 now with Hyper-V, and I'm working on a plan to get away from Windows on my homeserver and migrate evertyhing to Ubuntu... :) | 02:57 |
| KI7MT | shreezbot_, What Iv'e read in the past, it's not straight forward, and doesn't work for all configurations, so don't hold your breathe. | 02:58 |
| shreezbot_ | Well, given the information you've given me, I'm just going to forgo the idea of attempting to run my VMs altogether. I see no reason to virtualize with Ubuntu anyway... :) | 03:00 |
| shreezbot_ | I can run all of the applications I need for my homeserver (and then some) right on my Ubuntu instance. | 03:01 |
| darius93 | anyone know why when I do iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT && iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT && iptables -A INPUT DROP that i cant ping a server | 03:01 |
| shreezbot_ | This is just new territory for me as I really don't know anything about Linux... | 03:01 |
| shreezbot_ | I'm a Windows admin by trade, but I'm moving away from it. | 03:01 |
| somsip | shreezbot_: it's more than likely that you can, but difficult to guarantee in the case that you're using something uncommon | 03:01 |
| KI7MT | shreezbot_, It's good for testing, and allot of admins run full farms in VM, so there's nothing wrong with it, just converting from one flavor to another can be a pain. | 03:02 |
| CptBley | How can I completely remove ubuntu from the systejm | 03:03 |

| CptBley | so this computer is shot isn't it | 03:04 |
| shreezbot_ | Nice! You guys are so helpful! :) | 03:05 |
| KI7MT | CptBley, it depends on how Ubuntu was installed initially, and how you want the computer to be configured afterwards. | 03:05 |
| somsip | CptBley: you may be able to recover it, but you need patience and perseverence | 03:05 |
| CptBley | somsip then I'm stuffed | 03:06 |
| Beldar | CptBley, Hard to say if the XP is not booting now you would want ##windows for help, it was working. | 03:06 |
| somsip | CptBley: if you have no patience and are not prepared to persevere, possibly yes | 03:06 |
| KI7MT | I would have a serious look at re-installing Grub before throwing in the towel. | 03:06 |
| CptBley | I don't know how KI7MT | 03:06 |
| Beldar | somsip, This sounds like a wubi install would you agree? | 03:07 |
| somsip | Beldar: I was busy through the first part of the OP reporting the problem. It's really not clear to me | 03:08 |
| Beldar | CptBley, Do you have a ubuntu disc/usb to bootr? | 03:08 |
| CptBley | No | 03:08 |
| CptBley | I used a virtual drive to mount the iso and installed it using that | 03:09 |
| KI7MT | Me either, but getting to the grub> prompt made be thing dual boot, but if it's Wubi, grub not the problem for sure. | 03:09 |
| Beldar | CptBley, One of the problems here is determining the type of install, if a wubi no grub reinstall will fix this so, if you can at the least get a boot to XP or a boot to a ubuntu disc we are stuck. | 03:10 |

| Ascendion | everything I've been finding on google is 2-3 releases back :( | 04:28 |
| glitsj16 | Ascendion: try putting them at ~/.config/upstart | 04:28 |
| glitsj16 | Ascendion: did you look at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ yet? especially the cookbook section | 04:29 |
| jsm | exit | 04:29 |
| Ascendion | glitsj16 -- change made -- restarting | 04:31 |
| Ascendion | and yes I was all over that, and all over google | 04:31 |
| glitsj16 | Ascendion: well, it's in there that user jobs are deprecated and changes to session jobs, stumbled over that as well recently | 04:32 |
| Ascendion | ok -- so I got to set it up to run out of /etc/init ?? | 04:33 |
| glitsj16 | Ascendion: you can still set it up in your home, but there might be name collisions --> http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#session-job | 04:34 |
| Ascendion | reading | 04:35 |
| ningu | I have a xen vps on 13.04 that I want to upgrade to 13.10. upgrading is easy but it still picks the old kernel and not the new one. any idea why? | 04:36 |
| Ascendion | ok -- so I can create a single job in /etc/init that launches the init for my "user jobs" | 04:37 |
| ningu | I'm happy to provide more info, but I'm not sure what would be relevant. | 04:38 |
| ObrienDave | ningu, have you tried dist-upgrade? | 04:39 |
| glitsj16 | Ascendion: as i'm pretty much the only user on my machine i put them at /etc/init, can't confirm what you state would work, but testing is the road to enlightenment no? :) | 04:40 |
| ningu | ObrienDave: the new kernel packages are installed. but they are not being selected by grub. | 04:40 |
| ningu | and if I uninstall the old kernel to try to force it, then I can't boot | 04:41 |
| ObrienDave | ningu, have you tried update grub? | 04:41 |
| ningu | yes, no luck | 04:41 |
| ningu | it still picks 3.8 | 04:41 |
| Beldar | ningu, More than one Linux install? | 04:41 |
| ningu | Beldar: huh? | 04:41 |
| ningu | on this machine, no... | 04:42 |
| Beldar | ningu, any dual booting? | 04:42 |
| ningu | it's a xen vps | 04:42 |
| Beldar | ningu, and it owns the grub to boot it? | 04:42 |
| Ascendion | glitsj16 -- I'm the only user (cloud VM) but all the stuff I want to run (70 app servers) is in my default user account, and I want it to run restricted and in the directories where I have them set up | 04:42 |
| ningu | Beldar: what do you mean it owns the grub? | 04:44 |
| ningu | as far as I know... | 04:44 |
| KI7MT | Ascendion, write a script and use cron. Unless they only need to run if the box is rebooted. | 04:44 |
| ningu | xen is not like openvz, there is a kernel per box | 04:45 |
| glitsj16 | Ascendion: if i understand the cookbook section on session jobs $HOME/.config/upstart/ should work, there's no mention of putting anything in /etc/init to (trigger' those, but i'm still learning upstart so this is just a guess | 04:45 |
| Beldar | ningu, Does the grub menu booting zen have any other OS's showing, it is if the menu is reading the correct OS, since you keep asking questions, basic stuff. | 04:46 |
| ningu | Beldar: it's a vps, I can't see the grub menu when it boots. | 04:46 |
| ningu | I can tell you what's in menu.lst | 04:46 |
| Beldar | ningu, I figured as such, menu.list id grub legacy as well update-grub will not work. | 04:47 |
| Beldar | is* | 04:47 |
| Ascendion | glitsj16 -- read down a little further where they talk about non-graphical sessions | 04:48 |
| Ascendion | THAT is what I need :) | 04:49 |
| Ascendion | init for users only kicks in when the desktop starts up | 04:49 |
| KI7MT | ningu, Doesn't Xen VPS use somethign like PyGrub, not the normal Grub, and it's ifs not install, I think you may be hostage to the Host Kernel | 04:50 |
| ningu | I don't know. | 04:50 |
| ningu | I've only used kvm before | 04:50 |
| glitsj16 | Ascendion: point taken, that's only supported as of saucy, i don't use that .. and your setup is way more complex, my upstart job files are extremely short and simple heh | 04:50 |
| Beldar | ningu, You might upgrade that to grub 2 if possible. | 04:50 |
| Amjad | Hi guys, I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu, and while trying to boot into Ubuntu I've been getting the low graphics error for a while now. What could be the reason? :/ | 04:51 |
| Beldar | ningu, There is a #grub channel but it is grub 2 only | 04:51 |
| ningu | ok, well, I'll ask there | 04:51 |
| ningu | I just thought it might be something to do with ubuntu's /etc/kernel/postinst.d | 04:52 |
| jlmarks | Amjad: I get that issue when my partition is full. | 04:52 |
| Amjad | Is there any way I can resize the partition? :/ I suspected I set the size too low | 04:52 |
| Beldar | Amjad, missing graphic driver? | 04:52 |
| Amjad | It worked fine in the beginning, Beldar, but after a while I started seeing that error. | 04:53 |
| Beldar | Amjad, Ubuntu is in a partition? | 04:53 |
| Amjad | Yeah, it is | 04:53 |
| Amjad | And since it's ext (?) it doesn't show up in windows | 04:53 |
| jlmarks | did you use wubi? | 04:53 |
| Beldar | Amjad, As long as you are sure a live ubuntu disc/usb and use gparted to resize and unmount the swap. | 04:53 |
| KI7MT | ningu, Get in touch with your VPS provider, they can tell if you can upgrade it, and if so, how it's to be done with their config. | 04:53 |
| Ascendion | glitsj16 -- welp those configs didnt work anyway | 04:54 |
| Amjad | Um.. I don't recall exactly, jlmarks, but since it's on a partition I probably didn't use it? | 04:54 |
| Amjad | Hmm, I'll take a look into that, Beldar. Thanks. | 04:54 |
| ses1984 | i have been using 13.10 in a system with nvidia graphics. nvidia graphics burned out and i replaced it with amd, now i can't see anything but a black screen and cursor past the login screen | 04:54 |
| Beldar | Amjad, You know what a wubi is right? | 04:54 |
| Amjad | Btw, in case I plan to remove Ubuntu how should I go about it? I have grub 2 as the bootloader right now. | 04:55 |
| ningu | KI7MT: I just figured it out actually. menu.lst had some non-automatically-generated lines at the top and when I removed them and then re-ran update-grub, it correctly made 3.11.x the default kernel | 04:55 |
| ningu | looks like it's all good now | 04:55 |
| jlmarks | wubi is the windows based installer. if it is just on it's own partition, then you can use gparted, but be careful... it can tear up your data if you are not careful | 04:55 |
| Amjad | Yeah, it's that installer bundled with Ubuntu using which we can install Ubuntu in any of the drives, IIRC | 04:55 |
| om | ))) | 04:56 |
| KI7MT | ningu, thats good .. need to test it on reboot as well. | 04:56 |
| ningu | I did | 04:56 |
| ningu | that's how i know :) | 04:56 |
| Beldar | Amjad, You would reinstall the windows bootloader in the mbr if this is not a uefi, and look closer at the description of wubi, it's not bundled with ubuntu anymore and has nothing to do with drives. | 04:56 |
| KI7MT | ningu, all is good then :-) | 04:57 |
| Amjad | Um, how do I find out whether or not it's a uefi? Sorry, I'm a total noob at this. | 04:57 |
| Beldar | jlmarks, YOu can't resize a wubi with gparted it is a file | 04:58 |
| Ascendion | glitsj16 -- BINGO -- one each shitload of process started :) | 04:58 |
| glitsj16 | Ascendion: you can try #upstart .. ahh, succes :) | 04:58 |
| Amjad | jlmarks, can I allocate some of the free space from one of my windows drivers to the ubuntu partition using gparted? | 04:58 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| Amjad | Beldar, I think he meant the same thing ("as long as it's NOT wubi") | 04:59 |
| Ascendion | \the previous fail was cause I misnamed a conf file -- once I fixed that its all good :) | 04:59 |
| Beldar | Amjad, Heh, as long as you know the difference is all that matters. | 04:59 |
| jlmarks | Beldar: good to know, thank you. (I actually meant that I didn't know how it was set up, so it may be worth looking into). | 05:00 |

| spam6 | Hello! Can anyone help me get my android connecting to my computer? I cannot see the pictures on it! | 05:00 |
| Beldar | jlmarks, No biggie, heh. | 05:00 |
| Amjad | Although I'm pretty sure, I'll just take a look around in the drives for the wubi folder to see if I installed using wubi. That should be enough, right? | 05:00 |
| jlmarks | Amjad: if you just installed ubuntu recently, I would just reinstall it. If it has been up and running for a while you should probably look and see if something is growing to fill your space. (I had this error log one time that grew to over 45GB... just saying) | 05:01 |
| === ctracey is now known as ctracey|away | ||
| jlmarks | if you installed using wubi you can go to windows -> add/remove programs, and "uninstall" ubuntu | 05:02 |
| Beldar | Amjad, It would be in the windows control panel add remove, but the partition it is on should be a ext type to be a regular install, not a ntfs | 05:02 |
| Beldar | add remove if a wubi | 05:02 |

| Amjad | How do I find out for certain whether I have wubi or not? Just making sure | 05:06 |
| Beldar | Amjad, It would be in the windows control panel add remove, but the partition it is on should be a ext type to be a regular install, not a ntfs | 05:07 |

| Beldar | Amjad, looks good use a live disc/usb to resize it, you will see it there as a ext type partition if it is a regular install. Post a screen shot if you need some help with resizing the windows as part of this. | 05:15 |
| Beldar | spam6, Make sure the droid is plugged straight into the computer. | 05:16 |

| Amjad | Btw what is the recommended partition ize for ubuntu 12/13? | 05:18 |
| auto | what's difference between FAT vs FAT32 | 05:18 |
| Beldar | Amjad, you have to use a live medis to resize the ubuntu | 05:18 |
| Beldar | media | 05:19 |
| Danato | one is fatter | 05:19 |
| neteng | I think with FAT you are limited to 4GB file size | 05:19 |
| Amjad | where do I run the commands though, jlmarks? I don't have a functioning linux install rightnow. | 05:19 |
| auto | dynamically allocated | 05:19 |

| duhamel | hi all. i am wondering about installation partitions for 13.10 on ssd with efi. do i need to put efi boot partition at the beggining of drive? | 05:20 |

| auto | thanks for the info. much obliged | 05:24 |
| auto | i also have a (rc-108) error on my linux | 05:24 |
| auto | when i use virtualbox to try to load an iso | 05:24 |
| auto | it never works | 05:24 |
| auto | the image is good but the program said to update kernel headers, i did using synaptic | 05:24 |
| auto | still same error | 05:24 |
| auto | dkms -- shit i already have those packages and their up to date | 05:25 |
| Beldar | ROPA, You can have the iso on the computer and boot it with grub, not sure if that speeds it up though. | 05:25 |
| auto | i'm confused why virtualbox isn't working on backbox3.09 but compiz even works great for graphics in the desktop | 05:25 |
| duhamel | I do understand what UEFI is, it's hard for me to get out everything in a breif chat line.Thank both of you. back to reading. | 05:26 |

| grendal_prime | i set up bridge, so say my network is 192.168.1.0 (the physical network that everything in the office is on.) so my bridge is running on an ubuntu 12.04 kvmhost and it is going to use a static ip of 192.168.1.250 | 05:29 |
| such_coins | can someone help me out? someone named jim**** (i forget the rest) was helping me here, but i disconnected. Now I can't find him (i messaged all the jims, none of them responded) | 05:29 |
| grendal_prime | so i create my first vm, and it is connected to the br0 bridge, i give it an ip of 192.168.1.249 | 05:30 |
| === hazattack is now known as hipsterkhris | ||
| duhamel | I guess my question related more to the read/writes of partitioning with a /boot or just and swap and stuff. | 05:30 |
| ROPA | Beldar, thanks. so I just drag and drop the iso onto an empty partition, then run sudo grub-update??? | 05:30 |
| grendal_prime | now...i can get out to the internet..(and everything else on that network) but the other machines cannot see that machine..is that normal? | 05:30 |
| duhamel | *...just root | 05:31 |
| such_coins | auuuggg... does anyone here have logs of up to 30 minutes ago? I need to find the guy who was helping me | 05:31 |
| jackob | hello, after system update, I have a problems with nvidia hardware | 05:31 |
| grendal_prime | duhamel i just got here as well..what is the problem? | 05:31 |
| grendal_prime | sorry that was ment for such_coins | 05:32 |

| grendal_prime | such_coins, what is the problem about? | 05:32 |
| such_coins | thanks somsip | 05:32 |
| such_coins | grendal_prime: xubuntu won't connect to my ethernet network | 05:33 |
| ROPA | Beldar, thanks. so much, I'll check it out now. | 05:33 |
| Beldar | ROPA, No problem, yeah would be nice if as you asked. | 05:33 |
| grendal_prime | oh crap im in the wrong channel..sorry guys...that was all virt stuff.. | 05:33 |
| such_coins | so the guy helping me, jimarks, isn't here any more | 05:34 |
| star_prone | Hi | 05:34 |
| duhamel | grendal_prime: no problem just looking to optimize my ssd life right from install. i know i should avoid swap and leave unallocated space but was wondering about boot partition. its a UEFI bios and wasnt sure if i should give it an efi boot or what | 05:34 |
| star_prone | I'm using xubuntu 13.10 and I have a lot of problems with teamviewer | 05:34 |
| star_prone | it keeps crashing and i'm not able to connect in this manner | 05:35 |
| jackob | join #blender | 05:35 |
| star_prone | since I think I'm not the only one having this problem, I want to run a script that will run constantly on the machine and listen to log messages from teamviewer, and when it detects an error to restart teamviewer | 05:36 |
| star_prone | the only problem with this approach is that I don't really know how to do it | 05:37 |
| grendal_prime | what are you using team viewer for. | 05:37 |
| star_prone | can you please recommend something to begin with | 05:37 |
| star_prone | for remote control | 05:37 |
| such_coins | how do you search for a username on freenode? Is it possible? | 05:37 |
| grendal_prime | (dont get me wrong i use it to..but only for demonstartions... | 05:37 |
| grendal_prime | star_prone | 05:38 |
| star_prone | yes | 05:38 |
| grendal_prime | um, there are several better ways of doing that with nix systems | 05:38 |
| === david is now known as Guest6125 | ||
| grendal_prime | like...ssh, if you need a desktop, vnc, or xrdp, | 05:38 |
| star_prone | and what would those be? | 05:38 |
| star_prone | ohhh | 05:38 |
| star_prone | you're saying alternatives to teamviewer | 05:38 |
| star_prone | ok | 05:39 |
| star_prone | I get it | 05:39 |
| apb1963 | such_coins: I think you meant jlmarks but I don't think he was the one helping you | 05:39 |
| grendal_prime | ya... | 05:39 |
| star_prone | but that's not the point | 05:39 |
| apb1963 | such_coins: unless it was privately | 05:39 |
| such_coins | we were PM'ing | 05:39 |
| grendal_prime | well it sortof is, your talking about using something that is...well pretty buggy even when it is running great | 05:39 |
| star_prone | let's suppose for a moment that I want to use teamviewer because of its sky blue | 05:39 |
| star_prone | I understand your point of view | 05:40 |
| star_prone | but please don't get me wrong | 05:40 |
| grendal_prime | skyblue the internet provider | 05:40 |
| star_prone | (I was referring to the colour of the intergace) | 05:41 |
| grendal_prime | anything that is not a server and robust design is going to have a problem with satelite coneectivity | 05:41 |
| star_prone | *interface | 05:41 |
| star_prone | getting back to what I was trying to say, let's suppose I want to solve this problem as an exercise | 05:41 |
| grendal_prime | i dont know how to help you with that. | 05:42 |
| xpirator | Is there any commercial product or library to generate a secure license key?? | 05:42 |
| star_prone | I just want to create a program that will run like a service and that will restart teamviwer when needed | 05:42 |
| grendal_prime | you may be doing alot of bad ideas. | 05:42 |
| grendal_prime | xpirator, ? | 05:42 |
| grendal_prime | what does that mean? | 05:43 |
| star_prone | :))) thanks! I'm stupid, what can I say? | 05:43 |
| grendal_prime | why would you want a comercial app to do that. | 05:43 |
| star_prone | this argument wasn't suppose to happen | 05:43 |
| grendal_prime | star_prone, no i would not assume that. | 05:43 |
| star_prone | and I don't want talk about that | 05:44 |
| xpirator | i think commercial one is more secure than open source's | 05:44 |
| grendal_prime | if you need remote access to a machine i know how to do that..and very well..thats what i do... | 05:44 |
| grendal_prime | xpirator, hahahahahahah | 05:44 |
| grendal_prime | ok | 05:44 |
| star_prone | grendal_prime: I know how to that to | 05:44 |
| star_prone | but just for a moment | 05:44 |
| star_prone | A SINGLE MOMENT | 05:44 |
| xpirator | i mean... actually that's our boss's thought. | 05:44 |
| star_prone | a second in our lifetime | 05:44 |
| grendal_prime | you would use cron more than likely | 05:44 |
| star_prone | let's just assume that I want to use that | 05:45 |
| grendal_prime | every 60 seconds look for a pid. | 05:45 |
| star_prone | for no partivular reason | 05:45 |
| KI7MT | xpirator, maybe a bit of clarification is needed, what kind of secure key are you talking about, SW lic, PGP type, SSH type what ? | 05:45 |
| grendal_prime | or search for the running instance ...if not there have it fire up teamviewer server again. | 05:45 |
| === birdy is now known as Guest9655 | ||
| grendal_prime | look into cron | 05:45 |
| grendal_prime | or..there is one based on file change...i think its inocron... | 05:46 |
| grendal_prime | something like that | 05:46 |
| xpirator | we find a way to stop using our product when key is expired | 05:46 |
| star_prone | you know... this way of solving things... "use another app"... will never get linux as a seriour competitor for other "click, next, finish" OSes | 05:46 |
| grendal_prime | you can use...bash for that star_prone, or php, or perl, but you will more than likely wind up triggering it with cron. | 05:46 |
| xpirator | KI7MT, we find a way to stop using our product when key is expired | 05:47 |
| grendal_prime | star_prone, the way of solving anything in linux is use the app | 05:47 |
| grendal_prime | right app that is | 05:47 |
| grendal_prime | remote management of machines is a huge portion of linux. there are allot of really good existing applications for manageing remote machines. You dont need access to a desktop to do that in most cases | 05:48 |
| xpirator | is there any recommendable product or library to provide a robust algorithm to generate activation keys? | 05:48 |
| KI7MT | xpirator, thanks that cleard up allot of questions | 05:48 |
| grendal_prime | however, most of the time you can do what you need to do with ssh and rdp,xrdp,vnc. | 05:48 |
| grendal_prime | and really the best way to do what you are doing is via a vpn phone home type system | 05:49 |

| KI7MT | xpirator, I dont know the best solution for you specifically, but thee millions of servers world wide using open source encryption, it's pretty robust if used properly. | 05:53 |
| Beldar | xpirator, Can you show how this relates to ubuntu in any way? | 05:53 |
| KI7MT | Beldar, good point :-) | 05:53 |

| jackob | i think the reason is the virtualbox drivers modules which were upraded as well and messed up nouveau somehow | 05:55 |
| xpirator | K17MT, then can you recommend any open source encryption library? | 05:55 |

| === Diehard_ is now known as Diehard | ||
| grendal_prime | xpirator, as far as your comercial solution you are looking for im sure there are several out there. They are going to use something probably less secure but supported and probaly based on openssl and modified. | 05:57 |
| grendal_prime | and an older version. | 05:57 |
| such_coins | can anyone help me with some ethernet problems? | 05:57 |
| grendal_prime | xpirator, it will more than likely be cripled so as to charge more for more encription. (ie, the encryption level will be limited not in potential just in enforcement) | 05:59 |
| john2x | do authorized_keys rely on the client's IP address? I can't seem to connect to my server when I got home.. getting | 05:59 |

| john2x | grendal_prime: I can't connect to my remote server due to publickey denied error.. happened since I got home.. strange | 06:00 |
| grendal_prime | look into...xsession | 06:00 |
| xpirator | grendal_prime: yes, we don't need encription, we need a way of deactivation of evaluation copy. | 06:01 |

| KI7MT | xpirator, that's beyond the scope fo the channel as what's your asking for is a sw solution for what seems to be a commercial product. | 06:02 |
| grendal_prime | ya exactly... | 06:02 |
| grendal_prime | xpirator, if you used a comercial product and it timed out....see my comment above. | 06:03 |
| === ded_wam is now known as guardianx | ||
| xpirator | KI7MT: I think so. Sorry for that. | 06:03 |
| xpirator | grendal_prime: which one? | 06:03 |
| grendal_prime | they do crap like that to get you to pay for things that simply really are not that complicated...and fully supported by most if not all oses...open source encryption is where most commercial productes come from. | 06:03 |
| Oku7 | In ubuntu 12.10, as well as other debian distros, configuring tightvncserver has always been relatively easy, with similar settings | 06:04 |

| grendal_prime | or..set one for the entire server. | 06:05 |
| star_prone | grendal_prime: the right app from whose point of view? | 06:05 |

| Oku7 | grendal_prime: I've seen this answer quite a bit ; http://askubuntu.com/questions/366556/13-10-xrdp-problem-with-gnome-fallback | 06:05 |
| grendal_prime | aparently...you would like to use the wrong one so i cant help you | 06:05 |
| grendal_prime | Oku7, http://rbgeek.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/57.jpg | 06:07 |
| grendal_prime | http://askubuntu.com/questions/172384/vnc-grey-screen-and-start-on-boot-12-04 | 06:07 |
| xpirator | Thanks KI7MT, grendal_prime. | 06:08 |
| Oku7 | grendal_prime: take a look at http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=4448 | 06:08 |
| Oku7 | the way ubuntu handles vnc (or maybe it's the desktop manager), not sure; changed in 13.04 and again in 13.10 | 06:08 |
| star_prone | first, you helped me earlier by telling me about cron, I was just continuing the argument. I don't want you to help me by telling "use a different app", and then give me examples regarding the right apps. I would've use ssh if that would have been possible | 06:08 |
| Oku7 | grendal_prime: I'll try the settings from that screenshot however | 06:09 |
| grendal_prime | actually look at the second link | 06:09 |
| grendal_prime | i think it has several fixes for it | 06:09 |
| grendal_prime | both system wide and user specific | 06:09 |
| grendal_prime | you are trying to use xrdp and this is happening? | 06:09 |
| grendal_prime | Oku7, the reason i ask is i have had absolutely NO issues with any xrdp desktops i have set up in the last year. | 06:10 |
| Oku7 | grendal_prime: I've used both the xstartup scripts in both the first and second answer to that link | 06:10 |
| grendal_prime | that being said. I only use LTS | 06:10 |
| Oku7 | I don't think so - .. I'm using 13.10, and going with tightvncserver | 06:11 |
| Oku7 | could just as easily use a different vnc package however | 06:11 |
| grendal_prime | well xrdp uses tight...however xrdp behaves very much like windows rdp. it does not display the active desktop..but the users desktop. | 06:12 |
| grendal_prime | follow me? | 06:12 |
| KI7MT | All of the xx-vnx and xrp has allot of overhead, if you sped allot of time administering remote machines, your far better off getting proficient with the terminal. | 06:12 |
| star_prone | second: this is not about you and me, this is about a general principle. all the apps should work, not just those that we like. | 06:12 |
| star_prone | can I connect from my phone using tightvnc? | 06:13 |
| grendal_prime | KI7MT, much agreed..however..he may be popping desktops to people..for dev or something. | 06:13 |
| grendal_prime | and if thats the case..i would go with xrdp | 06:13 |
| Oku7 | It's a server that sits in the corner, I use the keyboard/mouse/monitor for my laptop when I sit there, so it's easier to full screen a vnc instance when I need to | 06:14 |
| grendal_prime | star_prone, you should pay for a liscense from teamviewer..they will be able to address your issue then | 06:14 |
| KI7MT | Of the two, using them both locally and long distances, I'd have to sat xrdp was a better performer, but it's up to the user. | 06:14 |
| grendal_prime | ah...see look into xrdp. | 06:14 |
| grendal_prime | much quicker...totall easy install | 06:14 |
| grendal_prime | apt-get install xrdp. | 06:14 |
| grendal_prime | use remmina and just specify that it is an rdp connection . | 06:15 |
| grendal_prime | it will run on 3388 i believe. | 06:15 |
| Oku7 | thx | 06:15 |
| Oku7 | .. remmina? | 06:15 |
| grendal_prime | client to connect from linux..or windows rdp client will work as well | 06:15 |
| grendal_prime | pretty sure anyway. | 06:15 |
| KI7MT | One thing to keep in mind, make sure you set the default session to 2D not 3D or even better got to LXDE or Xfce if possible. | 06:15 |
| star_prone | grendal_prime: are you by any chance linus torvalds? I have heard the same damaging ideas for linux community from him too | 06:16 |
| grendal_prime | team viewer is a commercial product | 06:16 |
| grendal_prime | i know this cause i use it. | 06:16 |
| KI7MT | grendal_prime, yes, xrp to and from win works with xrdp | 06:16 |
| grendal_prime | ya.. KI7MT i use that every time i have that situation..and android, rdp client has an option for it. I do a lot of kvm work from my phone like that | 06:17 |
| star_prone | yeah, that's true, but they also have a free version of it | 06:18 |
| star_prone | why does it work perfectly on other OSes and not on linux | 06:18 |
| grendal_prime | virtual machines over 50 of them, I can manage them from the monorail or the line at startours at disneyland from my android phone and xrdp. | 06:18 |
| Oku7 | grendal_prime: / KI7MT, that page I found earlier; http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=4448 outlines fixing 13.10 with XRDP & the xfce desktop.. apparently the gnome-fallback desktop is broken or removed in 13.10 | 06:18 |
| grendal_prime | it does work perfectly on linux for what its designed to do. and honestly it works perfect on ubuntu lts. | 06:19 |
| star_prone | we should stop saying "use a different app", and start doing something so that all the apps will work | 06:19 |
| grendal_prime | i use it very time i have to demonstarte things to clients. | 06:19 |
| grendal_prime | star_prone, i cant because it is closed source. | 06:19 |
| KI7MT | That's called Ubuntu QA and launchpad Bugs | 06:19 |
| grendal_prime | its a commercial product | 06:20 |
| grendal_prime | you need to talk to them about it. | 06:20 |
| star_prone | grendal_prime: and you connect to a machine which has teamviewer installed, or the other way around | 06:20 |
| KI7MT | I referring to, makeing things work in general, nothign specific. | 06:20 |
| star_prone | (other OSes are closed source too, but teamviewer wroks perfectly on them) | 06:20 |
| star_prone | anyway | 06:20 |
| grendal_prime | i use team viewer to display my desktop to clients. I dont use the server like you are using it because there is no reason to use it for that. | 06:20 |
| star_prone | I will drop the argument | 06:21 |
| star_prone | I get your point of view | 06:21 |
| grendal_prime | i have the correct programs installed that are linux native apps not win addapted apps. | 06:21 |
| star_prone | you are right, but in my oppinion you biased towards linux | 06:21 |
| Oku7 | grendal_prime: Are you running LTS for any particular reason? | 06:21 |
| star_prone | which is not that bad after all | 06:21 |
| Oku7 | why not upgrade to the more recent 13 series | 06:21 |
| grendal_prime | ya, things like the problem star_prone is experienceing | 06:21 |
| grendal_prime | i have servers that are required to run LONG TERM SUPPORT. | 06:22 |
| star_prone | for servers use ssh | 06:22 |
| star_prone | it's faster and easier | 06:22 |
| star_prone | :) | 06:22 |
| KI7MT | star_prone, that's pretty good, we're in a Linux Ubuntu Channel, adds are good most folks here are biased toward Linux :-) | 06:22 |
| KI7MT | odds are ... | 06:22 |
| grendal_prime | if i build things on my workstations..i need a seemless interaction. so i use lts all the way arround | 06:23 |
| Oku7 | Here's a question - via SSH how do I mount an encrypted disk? | 06:23 |
| star_prone | KI7MT: I have droped the argument | 06:23 |
| grendal_prime | star_prone, ssh is amazing. it is also an adhoc vpn and you can tunnel any protocol through it | 06:23 |
| grendal_prime | including xll | 06:24 |
| Oku7 | thru the GUI, it's shown as mounted, and upon clicking it I enter the passphrase, and can choose until next restart or for ever.. | 06:24 |
| star_prone | yeah, I know. | 06:24 |
| Oku7 | however I'm connected with root privlages, and not seeing anything inside the /media/user directory | 06:24 |
| grendal_prime | Oku7, i will upgrade to 14.04 when it is released and the distrobution upgrade is ready. | 06:24 |
| star_prone | it's just that my colleague who is an artist doesn't know that. try explaining him that. or.... yeah, I think I know the answer on this one: FUCK HIM! why does he use a computer in the first place? right? | 06:25 |
| IdleOne | star_prone: please mind your language | 06:26 |
| KI7MT | Oku7, Just FYI .. if performance, stabilty and security are top priorities, then LTS to LTS is the only way to go, the interim releases are merely stepping stones to the next LTS. | 06:26 |
| grendal_prime | they are testing distros basically | 06:26 |
| grendal_prime | as soon as i start using them i have to upgrade my servers every 6 months..instead of only one time every 2 years | 06:27 |
| KI7MT | They are better than development releases, but have hi potentials for bugs and security issues. | 06:27 |
| lkthomas | hey guys | 06:27 |
| grendal_prime | yes. however KI7MT imagine you have just 4 virtual hosts. | 06:28 |
| lkthomas | unity launcher showing on right of the screen, how could I config back to left hand side ? | 06:28 |
| grendal_prime | ? | 06:28 |
| KI7MT | Typically, I dont upgrade to the next LTS even until the first point release, like 12.04.1 .. then I upgrade from 10.04.4 | 06:28 |
| grendal_prime | dothe opposit what you did to get it on the right hand side | 06:28 |
| KI7MT | same will be for 14.04 .. will upg at 14.04.1 | 06:28 |
| lkthomas | grendal_prime: I have no idea how the user did it | 06:28 |
| grendal_prime | i agree with this KI7MT | 06:29 |

| KI7MT | grendal_prime, if your an admin for many machines with complex profiles, Landscape is a must have application. | 06:30 |
| grendal_prime | lkthomas, | 06:30 |
| grendal_prime | http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher | 06:30 |
| lkthomas | grendal_prime: I also found that | 06:30 |
| grendal_prime | ya KI7MT i agree, however im working on my own budget on my own datacenter. Im the one that does most of that. | 06:31 |
| KI7MT | Ubuntu Tweak can do that. | 06:31 |
| Oku7 | With XRDP installed; I'm assuming I need to modify my xsession file? | 06:31 |
| lkthomas | KI7MT: are you talking to me ? | 06:31 |
| grendal_prime | also these machines are pretty much appliances. | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | Oku7, i dont think so | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | i just install..connect | 06:32 |
| KI7MT | lkthomas, yes, check out Ubuntu Tweak | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | so you have a firewall on that? | 06:32 |
| lkthomas | KI7MT: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ ? | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | you will need to open up 3388 instead of 5900...or whatever the hell its for vnc | 06:32 |
| KI7MT | Yup, that be the one. | 06:33 |
| lkthomas | KI7MT: I will check that out, thanks | 06:33 |
| Oku7 | grendal_prime: well; I'm running a firewall on the router, which is connected to a vpn; and the linux box has pfsense | 06:33 |
| grendal_prime | some other really nice features about using xrdp you get all the fine tuning you get with rdp... | 06:34 |
| Oku7 | and the password isn't root… if whats what you're wondering | 06:34 |
| grendal_prime | i would hope not | 06:34 |
| grendal_prime | ok..soooo this machine is in the corner of the room...and you are vpn to it? | 06:35 |
| grendal_prime | you really are paranoid | 06:35 |
| grendal_prime | and...thats....OK...really.. | 06:35 |
| bow_vernon | hi guys, I had a strange experience. I installed squid3 on my linux server so it would act as a proxy server. all is well and done, I can open website thru it. however, it seems that I still get similar ip address and not using the proxy server's address. I hit checkip.dyndns.org to see my current ip address. it shows my current address and not my proxy server's address :O | 06:35 |
| Oku7 | no my router is setup as an openvpn client to a commerical vpn service | 06:36 |
| Oku7 | so all outgoing traffic from the lan goes thru that | 06:36 |
| grendal_prime | I dont worry about things right in the same room like that usually...but then again..im friends with the monster under my bed as well as the voices in my head. | 06:37 |
| Oku7 | although I would like to get my yubikey involved in initiating ssh sessions with the box.. | 06:37 |
| grendal_prime | Oku7, ...hmm i built one of those ...the installed it in malasia | 06:37 |
| bow_vernon | however, I tried using webproxy and hit checkip.dyndns.org well it gave me different ip address, which makes me sure something isn't going nice here | 06:37 |
| grendal_prime | any particular reason you are anonomizing all your outbound traffic? | 06:38 |
| bow_vernon | are you asking me? | 06:39 |
| grendal_prime | maybe... | 06:39 |
| Oku7 | haha | 06:39 |
| grendal_prime | are you doing that as well??? | 06:39 |
| bow_vernon | hmm I was trying to utilize my linux box to act as proxy server, that's all | 06:39 |
| Oku7 | grendal_prime: is judge jury executioner | 06:39 |
| bow_vernon | I'm trying to anonimize my outbound traffic because the network admin here is kinda shitty | 06:40 |
| bow_vernon | you know, me rulez you!! that kinda behavior | 06:40 |
| grendal_prime | not really, grendal_prime is always a little cautious about anonomizers...as i have built them and i now why they are built. | 06:40 |

| bow_vernon | sorry, I was giving a more detailed explanation of what I have to face everyday | 06:41 |
| grendal_prime | i understand. | 06:41 |
| grendal_prime | i dont judge. | 06:41 |
| bow_vernon | so..do you know what actually happens when one connects thru proxy? | 06:42 |
| grendal_prime | yes i do. | 06:42 |
| bow_vernon | please do tell me | 06:42 |
| grendal_prime | proxy is not what you want. | 06:42 |
| KI7MT | bow_vernon, may want to run your questions past the guys in ubuntu-server, I dont do allot of proxy stuff, so not up on this one at all. | 06:42 |
| grendal_prime | you want to vpn out. | 06:42 |
| === weltall2 is now known as weltall | ||
| grendal_prime | proxys are not typically encrypted, vpn is. | 06:43 |
| Oku7 | and for the love of god dont use pptp | 06:43 |
| bow_vernon | I don't use pptp. | 06:43 |
| KI7MT | It is it tunned through SSH | 06:43 |
| KI7MT | it is if .. | 06:43 |
| KI7MT | http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-tunnel-traffic-with-ssh/ | 06:43 |
| bow_vernon | I tried ssh tunnel to checkip.dyndns.org hey, it gave me the proxy server's address!! | 06:44 |
| grendal_prime | yes but thats so much the suck... | 06:44 |
| grendal_prime | its much easyer to set up a an openvpn server | 06:44 |
| bow_vernon | know any good openvpn server? | 06:44 |
| KI7MT | Merely saying it can be done, not that it's the best way :-) | 06:44 |
| grendal_prime | bow_vernon you have a mother or ...grand mother with a good cable connection? | 06:44 |
| grendal_prime | yes | 06:45 |
| grendal_prime | openvpn server. | 06:45 |
| bow_vernon | I pay my own internet, man | 06:45 |
| === mohammad is now known as Guest46951 | ||
| Oku7 | ahaha | 06:45 |
| Oku7 | that's not the point | 06:45 |
| grendal_prime | but your.....isp is awfull to you | 06:45 |
| bow_vernon | eh? | 06:45 |
| Guest46951 | hi | 06:45 |
| Oku7 | there are that many guests? | 06:46 |
| grendal_prime | if you set up openvpn server at your mothers house you can vpn connect to it and all your traffic is then released into the wild from there. | 06:46 |
| bow_vernon | isn't that what proxy is doing? | 06:46 |
| grendal_prime | no | 06:46 |
| bow_vernon | what?! | 06:46 |
| Oku7 | haha | 06:46 |
| Oku7 | why did you install it? | 06:46 |
| bow_vernon | so what's squid doin on my ubuntu?! that liar | 06:46 |
| bow_vernon | I thought proxy was meant to act as a "bridge" | 06:47 |
| grendal_prime | serving porn | 06:47 |
| grendal_prime | maybe | 06:47 |
| grendal_prime | just kidding on that. | 06:47 |
| Oku7 | (maybe) | 06:47 |
| bow_vernon | so instead of proxy server, I should've installed vpn server? | 06:47 |
| grendal_prime | back up.. | 06:47 |
| KI7MT | bow_vernon, bascialyl a proxy is an intermediate stop in the http request, which among other things allows content filtration, it's a not a security measure or spoof. | 06:47 |
| grendal_prime | basic need is what? | 06:47 |
| grendal_prime | your isp is blocking things? or...what? | 06:48 |
| bow_vernon | yes, sorta | 06:48 |
| grendal_prime | in or out? | 06:48 |
| grendal_prime | sorta..is not a networkable protocol by the way. | 06:49 |
| bow_vernon | out and in (I guess it blocks incoming traffic too as I can't use torrent) | 06:49 |
| KI7MT | If my ISP blocked Tor, I'd fire them. | 06:50 |
| grendal_prime | i dont think..anyway..(has anyone seen any "sorta" protocol in there wireshark sniffs? | 06:50 |
| bow_vernon | sorta = sort of | 06:50 |
| grendal_prime | yep still not a protocol to my knowledge | 06:50 |
| grendal_prime | ok | 06:50 |
| grendal_prime | all joking aside | 06:50 |
| grendal_prime | if you want to mask what you are doing from your isp you send it all out one port encripted and to a server that your isp has no control over. | 06:51 |
| KI7MT | bow_vernon, think ya need to be a bot more specific on what the problem is in order to get the right solution given. | 06:51 |
| bow_vernon | ok ok I'll be a lil more "honest" | 06:52 |
| grendal_prime | like an ubuntu server at your mothers house. or..realy good friend...partner in crime one might say. | 06:52 |
| bow_vernon | I have a pc at home, linux installed. great ISP, no blockages or something like that | 06:52 |
| grendal_prime | this is a compleatly different story...you should be running an openvpn server for the rest of us to connect to. | 06:53 |
| bow_vernon | but I spend most of my time at the office, which use bad ISP plus there's a troll admin on the way out | 06:53 |
| grendal_prime | oh no brainer | 06:53 |
| grendal_prime | ready for this? | 06:53 |
| bow_vernon | I was born ready | 06:53 |
| grendal_prime | do you have admin on the machine at work? | 06:54 |
| bow_vernon | what do you mean? | 06:54 |
| grendal_prime | windows? | 06:54 |
| bow_vernon | you mean like, admin access to my pc? | 06:54 |
| grendal_prime | can you install apps on it? | 06:54 |
| bow_vernon | of course. I got administrator access to my office pc | 06:54 |
| grendal_prime | hahah...god i love windows corprate practices. | 06:54 |
| bow_vernon | yes, it's win7 | 06:54 |
| grendal_prime | ok...install openvpn client on there. | 06:55 |
| KI7MT | grendal_prime, and they spend millions onf AV SW .. then wonder why :-) | 06:55 |
| grendal_prime | openvpn.net. | 06:55 |
| grendal_prime | i know right. | 06:55 |
| Oku7 | Depending on your companies IT competency, it's common for there to be screen viewers and such that let whoever cares enough, to directly watch your work as you work | 06:55 |
| grendal_prime | ok...then on your machine at home install openvpnserver | 06:55 |
| Oku7 | or in this case; watch porn over encrypted ports ;p | 06:55 |
| such_coins | I just replaced windows 8 with Xubuntu. I previously had 31 ping on a browser based game I played, now I have around 50 ping. Can anyone help me get a faster ping? | 06:56 |
| Oku7 | and this extra 19 ms of ping… really slows your game down? | 06:56 |
| bow_vernon | lol so all I have to do is just resort to vpn solution? | 06:56 |
| such_coins | Oku7: more than you'd think | 06:56 |
| grendal_prime | ya | 06:56 |
| bow_vernon | I guess this is what I've been wanting. thanks! | 06:57 |
| such_coins | it's a fast paced capture the flag game... koalabeast.com | 06:57 |
| KI7MT | grendal_prime, bow_vernon he probably need a stati IP from the ISP and he's gonna need a whole in the router to allow that. | 06:57 |
| such_coins | 19 ms is a big difference between a win and a loss in major league games | 06:57 |
| KI7MT | At home that is. | 06:57 |
| grendal_prime | major league video games? | 06:57 |
| Oku7 | isnt there a name server that allows you to get around changing ips... | 06:57 |
| bow_vernon | oh I got a static IP | 06:57 |
| Oku7 | forgetting the name | 06:57 |
| grendal_prime | i need to smoke more pot | 06:57 |
| such_coins | From what I've heard, there's no reason windows should run 19 ms faster than ubuntu | 06:57 |
| Oku7 | I have a static too | 06:57 |
| such_coins | err, the ping that is | 06:57 |
| Oku7 | such_coins: I'm assuming your dsl/cable modem is attached to a router, which your computer is then attached to? | 06:58 |
| such_coins | Oku7: yes | 06:59 |
| grendal_prime | bow_vernon, there are services you can go through for free ..or cheep or you can set up your own. | 07:00 |
| Oku7 | private internet access is one | 07:00 |
| Oku7 | (we're talking about vpn's still right?) | 07:00 |
| grendal_prime | if you are not very familar with the terminal i would recommend openvpn coupled with webmin on your server. | 07:00 |
| grendal_prime | god i hope so...otherwise i dont know what sort of services we would be talking about.... | 07:01 |
| Oku7 | such_coins: is this 19ms based on running the ping command, or does the webapp give you the latency? | 07:01 |
| Oku7 | you could try running traceroute; and see where things are slow | 07:01 |
| === david is now known as Guest42187 | ||
| such_coins | you can see for yourself at koalabeast.com it gives me the latency in game | 07:02 |
| KI7MT | Oku7, it's the only thing to talk abotu at the moment, nobody has any other issues it seems :-) | 07:02 |
| grendal_prime | bow_vernon, hold on i think i have a howto on this actually | 07:02 |
| grendal_prime | do you prefer video...or sextual | 07:02 |
| === Guest42187 is now known as Krishna73 | ||
| grendal_prime | sorry that was textual | 07:02 |
| kenetik | grendal_prime: definitely sextual | 07:02 |
| Oku7 | although 31 vs 50ms… thats pretty typical latency.. connections should vary 20 or 30ms over wan | 07:02 |
| jay-o | regarding ubuntu desktop dist-upgrade 12.10, it seems terrible. | 07:02 |
| bow_vernon | well I'm familiarizing myself with linux terminal right now | 07:03 |
| Oku7 | KI7MT: I know.. and i thought I had problems when I was trying to play counterstrike with 300+ms a decade ago | 07:03 |
| KI7MT | 19ms .. you can't see it or feel it in any game environment that's for sure. | 07:04 |
| such_coins | KI7MT: you must not play many fast paced games :p | 07:04 |
| Krishna73 | :) | 07:04 |
| such_coins | you definitely can feel the difference, both in your performance and your score | 07:04 |
| KI7MT | bow_vernon, that's a good place to be, but it's not an over night thing .. the more ya use it, the more you'll want to use it. | 07:04 |
| Oku7 | such_coins: if the 'game' ie the browser is reporting the latency; you could even be running into differences in how the javascript is executing | 07:05 |
| KI7MT | such_coins, yeah, i die allot in COD and Resistance :-) | 07:05 |
| bow_vernon | I've been using it for a month. altho I still don't know what grep/less is doing | 07:05 |
| Oku7 | well the man command is helpful | 07:05 |
| bow_vernon | sometimes the parameter isn't listed in the man page :p | 07:06 |
| cfhowlett | !details|jay-o, | 07:06 |
| ubottu | jay-o,: 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 ..." | 07:06 |
| such_coins | Oku7: what do you mean? Are you saying the JS executes differently on Windows Chrome and Xubuntu Chrome? | 07:06 |
| KI7MT | bow_vernon, OT but grep is a miner whos' looking for your input, and Less is the control valve, which limts the results to a managable level. | 07:06 |
| tman | How do you tell gcc to link against specific libraries in say a non standard development directory? | 07:07 |
| bow_vernon | so it "filters" output | 07:07 |
| bow_vernon | that's what you were saying, eh? | 07:07 |
| _qfu | how install mysql 5.6 | 07:07 |
| KI7MT | tman, gcc -shared *.o -o libstuff.so -0 somting-else.so etc | 07:08 |
| Oku7 | bow_vernon: goto google images and look around for linux commandline backgrounds.. ex; http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Lb-i_VCD1tE/TI7PRp3BNjI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/9IpBCrHE12w/s1600/ZiCzX.png | 07:08 |
| such_coins | Oku7: The game is made with node.js and socket.io, I assume the game is just displaying the time difference between each socket sent to it by the server | 07:08 |
| cmiller | I have an Ubuntu 13.10 server on which nginx refuses to start, and it isn't being particularly verbose about it. Does anybody have any suggestions about how to begin diagnosing this? The overall symptom is that service nginx start fails silently. | 07:08 |
| Oku7 | bow_vernon: it can be helpful when you're memorizing those commands | 07:08 |
| KI7MT | tman, pass the path to the libs before you run gcc then direct link to the .sop | 07:09 |

| derek0112 | I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on HP Pavillion g4. I ever used Windows 8, but this stuff consumes a lot CPU. I turned to Ubuntu. Our banks USBKey only support IE browser, this stupid one. I ever learned that wine might work. I tried wine, but it came up with lot of bugs. Then I considered using virtualbox to install a XP | 07:20 |
| grendal_prime | derek0112, now ...seriously. install virtualbox, | 07:20 |
| grendal_prime | look into seemless integration. | 07:20 |
| === thrillERby is now known as thrillERboy | ||

| cfhowlett | or ^^^^ | 07:20 |
| Oku7 | likely the fastest, route to $$ | 07:20 |
| derek0112 | that would consume me a lot disk space, well I only need the stupid IE for some simple but important tast | 07:20 |
| grendal_prime | you can run a virtualized app with the windows kernel right in your ubuntu desktop. | 07:21 |
| Oku7 | however i now need my standard 2&20 fee | 07:21 |
| Oku7 | you realize, that installing virtualbox & windows will consume just as much | 07:21 |
| derek0112 | that's why I wonder if there is some windown compatible kernel layer to run this stuff | 07:21 |

| Oku7 | anyway | 07:21 |
| Oku7 | we could also help optimize your banks latency response | 07:21 |
| grendal_prime | yep...its called...Microsoft windows | 07:21 |
| derek0112 | I like open source | 07:22 |
| grendal_prime | and it sucks...but...you can run it and then turn it off when yo want the suck to stop | 07:22 |
| grendal_prime | and still use a working computer in the mean time. | 07:22 |
| derek0112 | it is a headache | 07:22 |
| grendal_prime | also if its virtualized..you can pause the sucking....or blowing...whichever windows is doing at that time. | 07:22 |
| KI7MT | derek0112, things are nto goign to run any faster in a VM than they did with W8, in fact, they may be slower, but you'll have a native IE back if that's what you need. | 07:22 |
| Oku7 | Does your bank have any new/different versions of these usb keys ? | 07:22 |
| Oku7 | perhaps you can find one that plays with firefox/chrome etc | 07:23 |
| cfhowlett | derek0112, dual boot is your best optoin | 07:23 |
| taruti | How do I understand java dependencies? Installing leiningen (clojure thing) wants to use gcj, but I'd like to use openjdk. | 07:23 |
| grendal_prime | derek0112, ill make you a deal..ill run a virt windows for you ..you pay me 30 bucks a month..you can rdp to it and do whatever you want on it? | 07:24 |
| Oku7 | haha | 07:24 |
| derek0112 | lol | 07:24 |
| grendal_prime | i do that now for several people | 07:24 |
| Oku7 | pretty sure he needs his bank's USB dongle in the windows machine | 07:24 |
| grendal_prime | nope | 07:24 |
| grendal_prime | you can forward that right thorugh rdp bro | 07:25 |
| Oku7 | inteeeerresttting | 07:25 |
| Oku7 | then just go on aws | 07:25 |
| derek0112 | AWS? | 07:25 |
| Oku7 | or any other cloud provider (grendal's cloud included), and do that | 07:26 |
| Oku7 | amazon web services | 07:26 |
| KI7MT | Not the most secure idea sending your bank dongle to somebody else .. lol | 07:26 |
| derek0112 | lol | 07:26 |
| grendal_prime | ya ..but then you would have amazon looking under your kilt all the time... NOw me..I dont want whats under your kilt..i just want 30 bucks a month. | 07:26 |
| Oku7 | what bank is it anyway | 07:26 |
| derek0112 | Bank of China | 07:27 |
| Oku7 | shiaat | 07:27 |
| grendal_prime | oh crap | 07:27 |
| Oku7 | abort! | 07:27 |
| derek0112 | lol | 07:27 |
| grendal_prime | ya..well things go bad there..and they take your finger nails. | 07:27 |
| grendal_prime | or balls... | 07:27 |
| grendal_prime | if your a tennis player that is. | 07:27 |
| KI7MT | Alt-Ctrl-Del .. then setup a dual boot machine, Win8 and Ubunut | 07:27 |
| KI7MT | Ubuntu | 07:27 |
| grendal_prime | i dont know i like china really...things are simple... | 07:28 |
| Tex_Nick | derek0112: switch banks or consider cfhowlett's advice ... just dual boot ... tis NOT that hard | 07:28 |
| derek0112 | yes, not very hard | 07:29 |
| grendal_prime | dont do this...dont do that...those are bad...do this...that is good. i mean makes dayplanners much more simple ill bed. | 07:29 |
| grendal_prime | bet. | 07:29 |
| Oku7 | yeah; you left windows 8 cause your laptop couldn't handle it - so running a virtualized instance of windows inside linux, is going to be brutal | 07:29 |
| cfhowlett | derek0112, I'm in Beijing. I can't even begin to count the number of Windows XP terminals I see in use. If the bank says IE, best believe they will make NO effort to make your life easier by enabling firefox. dual boot. | 07:29 |
| Oku7 | it's dualboot, or new computer | 07:29 |
| derek0112 | you are in Beijing? | 07:30 |
| cfhowlett | derek0112, yep | 07:30 |
| derek0112 | lol, me too | 07:30 |
| grendal_prime | i know..you guys should complain. | 07:30 |
| grendal_prime | if you dont..it will never get added to the good list .... | 07:30 |
| cfhowlett | grendal_prime, complain? In China? Me thinks not ... | 07:30 |
| derek0112 | better I reconsier my demand | 07:30 |
| HaltingState | I am seeing app notifications for pidgeon, even after pidgeon is closed | 07:31 |
| derek0112 | I do most of my work on Ubuntu | 07:31 |
| derek0112 | only for some banking on IE | 07:31 |
| derek0112 | that's it, I can use other PC | 07:31 |
| grendal_prime | see....see...im telling you i live in a country were things work better cause everyone complains...also i have to marry your ugly sister if you help me with my problems. | 07:31 |
| pagioss | hi all, i am trying to have wvdial run on startup of system, for some reason including it in rc.lcoal does not seem to solve it | 07:31 |
| derek0112 | thank you guys | 07:32 |
| Oku7 | heh | 07:32 |
| Oku7 | I dont think we provided all that much help | 07:32 |
| cfhowlett | derek0112, best of luck. if you need help with the dual, send me a PM. I can do it ... for beer! | 07:32 |
| Oku7 | but you're welcome.. | 07:32 |
| grendal_prime | your welcome..we wussed out..but...we did try. | 07:33 |
| derek0112 | PM? | 07:33 |
| Oku7 | I say reverse engineer the dongle | 07:33 |
| Oku7 | & profit | 07:33 |
| grendal_prime | no no...i say openvpn to my kvm cluster and redirect your usb port ... | 07:33 |
| Tex_Nick | cfhowlett: now that's what's called service above & beyond the call of duty !!! ;) | 07:33 |
| grendal_prime | pay me 30.....um....yen? a month. | 07:34 |
| KI7MT | grendal_prime, Yen is Japan :-) | 07:34 |
| cfhowlett | LOL | 07:34 |
| Oku7 | can I store my bitcoin wallets on this cluster too? | 07:34 |
| cfhowlett | derek0112, private message | 07:34 |
| grendal_prime | sure....wateverthehell those are. | 07:34 |
| pagioss | i thin main problem is wvdial needs root priviledge when accessing /dev/ttyUSB | 07:35 |
| pagioss | so how can i run it from rc.local | 07:35 |
| grendal_prime | yen is japan? oh man...that explains my 401k issues. | 07:35 |
| Tex_Nick | lol | 07:35 |
| grendal_prime | pagioss, run it as root from rc.local | 07:35 |
| cfhowlett | Ok SERIOUSLY ot, but hilarious | 07:35 |
| tman | Did you make rc.local executable? | 07:36 |
| pagioss | grendal_prime: /usr/bin/wvdial con1 in rc.local doest do it | 07:36 |
| tman | eg. chmod +x rc.local | 07:36 |
| duckx0r | I am trying to add RAID1 to an existing installation. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdadm) says to do `mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1`. My question is, if one of the drives already has information on it and the other one is blank, which partition will be copied from the other one? Does the order in the mdadm command affect anything? | 07:37 |
| pagioss | tman: other commands in rc.local execute correctly | 07:37 |
| tman | But don't commands in rc.local execute with uid of 0 anyway? I don't see why the process couldn't access /dev files. | 07:38 |
| pagioss | i dont know either | 07:38 |
| KI7MT | duckx0r, do yourself a favor, make full back up of the data drive, then reconfigure the entire array as if it was a new drive install. | 07:39 |
| tman | what does wvdial do? | 07:39 |
| pagioss | dial a 3g conn | 07:39 |
| tman | ah I see. | 07:39 |
| KI7MT | tman, in a termainl, man wvdial | 07:39 |
| grendal_prime | could be that it is trying to connect with something that does not give acess to root. | 07:40 |
| grendal_prime | for security reasons | 07:40 |
| grendal_prime | i ran into this one time | 07:40 |
| grendal_prime | did you look at that error logs? | 07:40 |
| duckx0r | KI7MT, good idea about backing up. I haven't configured the array yet though. | 07:40 |
| pagioss | grendal_prime: if i execute as root from terminal it works | 07:40 |
| tman | I don't have it installed at the moment. | 07:40 |
| tman | And I mostly run gentoo. | 07:41 |
| grendal_prime | right...wich i think is a bad idea by the way. | 07:41 |
| grendal_prime | but im not excatly sure. | 07:41 |
| KI7MT | duckx0r, yup,that's the best / safest way, then you know youv'e got the data, and can start from scratch on the array. | 07:41 |
| grendal_prime | i think you need to use a diff user and add them to the modem group. | 07:41 |
| pagioss | you mean /usr/bin/wvdial con1 &> /tmp/err grendal_prime ? | 07:41 |
| grendal_prime | no...hold on im trying to remember how i got around this issue | 07:42 |
| grendal_prime | cause i know i have run into it before...cheep machine as a router via a dial up issue. | 07:42 |
| pagioss | yea same here | 07:42 |
| KI7MT | tman, man is on Gentoo also :-) .. although wvdial may not be, long story short, it's a PPP dialer. | 07:42 |
| grendal_prime | ya and i think that is usally the issue | 07:43 |
| grendal_prime | ya i dont know if this will help but i think this is what i used to get it working | 07:45 |
| sgeto | hello guys | 07:45 |
| grendal_prime | this is kinda diff in that it is a dial on demand config | 07:45 |

| sgeto | can someone tell me what edubuntu is? | 07:46 |
| KI7MT | sgeto, it's Ubuntu with mroe apps installed geared toward scholastics. | 07:47 |
| pagioss | grendal_prime: i dont see a modem group :) | 07:47 |
| KI7MT | sgeto, More Info: https://www.edubuntu.org/about | 07:47 |
| grendal_prime | ppp? | 07:47 |
| KI7MT | Dont say it :-) | 07:48 |

| grendal_prime | how about dailout? | 07:48 |
| grendal_prime | gofish? | 07:48 |
| KI7MT | that works too | 07:48 |
| Beldar | oh your sooooooooo academic, lol | 07:48 |
| Beldar | just a liddle ribbin | 07:49 |
| grendal_prime | damn well this has been real its been fun..but this has literally sucked away 2 hours of my life. I want them back. | 07:50 |
| grendal_prime | irc...is allot like the life sucking machine from the Princess Bride. | 07:51 |
| grendal_prime | only not quite as painful. | 07:51 |

| pagioss | grendal_prime: 1h and counting | 07:52 |
| grendal_prime | we may one day take as much as 20 years off of your life ..but i honestly dont know what that will do to you. | 07:54 |
| Oku7 | 1 hour till what | 07:54 |
| KI7MT | and what ya counting? | 07:54 |
| Oku7 | does this room have free pizza? | 07:54 |
| grendal_prime | hes a willing participant in the life sucking experience that is irc. | 07:55 |
| Beldar | no but free trout slapping | 07:55 |
| === subin47 is now known as grapetiser | ||
| grendal_prime | Not too many people have experience with trout slapping. | 07:55 |
| Oku7 | Beldar: that's a bucket list item for me | 07:56 |
| Oku7 | seriously | 07:56 |
| grendal_prime | thatnk god. | 07:56 |
| Beldar | ala monty python | 07:56 |

| XATRIX | Hi, i've installed ubuntu server and have the following: http://ur1.ca/g7zko | 07:59 |
| XATRIX | Any case to fix for root account ? | 07:59 |
| XATRIX | Also, i can't reboot my machine.!!! It simply doesn't execute RST signal or whatever | 08:00 |
| grendal_prime | ya. I made them watch the movie about a week ago. | 08:00 |
| sgeto | thx KI7MT! | 08:00 |
| XATRIX | After all processes killed, and the BIOS should reset the system - it simply hangs | 08:01 |
| Oku7 | do Faulty Towers.. | 08:01 |
| XATRIX | Only power-off / power-on can help me out | 08:01 |
| XATRIX | The same i have with Ubuntu on my laptop . I thought server won't be experienceing such things :( | 08:01 |
| grendal_prime | they kept asking for coconuts so i bought a couple and then cut them in half with a chop saw...they pretty much spend most of the day pretending to be horses now and saying werid crap | 08:02 |
| grendal_prime | how tall would you like your shrubbery? | 08:03 |
| Oku7 | that'll happen; hopefully you dont have a white rabbit int he house | 08:03 |
| grendal_prime | no but lots of weapons. | 08:03 |
| grendal_prime | mostly they are trained for those though. | 08:04 |
| grendal_prime | i teach college style saber fencing my kids are very agile. | 08:05 |
| grendal_prime | and use ubuntu every day.... | 08:05 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, have you tried doing an update then installing mc .. Im not sure if it's installed or not by default on ub-server | 08:05 |
| Oku7 | honestly cant tell where the bs starts and ends | 08:05 |
| grendal_prime | usually around your boots... Oku7 | 08:06 |
| XATRIX | KI7MT: possibly you're right, i downloaded the distro yesterday but didn't issue apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:06 |
| XATRIX | But what can i do with kernel hang while reboot ? | 08:07 |
| Oku7 | anyone here mess around with software defined radios? | 08:07 |
| grendal_prime | those those werid....web radios? | 08:07 |
| Oku7 | nope | 08:07 |
| grendal_prime | my motherinlaw has one | 08:07 |
| grendal_prime | oh...then she doesnt | 08:07 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, do the normal sudo apt-get update .. then if you want dist-upgrade and try install mc. | 08:08 |
| Oku7 | http://www.reddit.com/r/rtlsdr | 08:08 |
| Oku7 | for 20 bucks you pick up a usb tv tuner stick; that's capable of picking up 30hz - 2200mhz | 08:08 |
| grapetiser | XATRIX: do a normal apt-get update & apt-get upgrade before installing mc .. | 08:09 |
| grendal_prime | wireless ip? | 08:09 |
| Oku7 | and there are a variety of programs for decoding signals and such | 08:09 |
| grendal_prime | ip over rf or something like that? | 08:09 |
| Oku7 | they're recieve only | 08:09 |
| Oku7 | you can listen to airplanes, fire/police/public safety/anyone with a radio | 08:10 |
| grendal_prime | one of my clients has a bunch of that stuff he wants to use for...well transmitting data from weather and water data stuff. | 08:10 |
| Oku7 | ship beacons | 08:10 |
| Oku7 | weather satalites | 08:10 |
| Oku7 | all sorts of crap | 08:10 |
| Beldar | he mother ship | 08:10 |
| Beldar | the* | 08:10 |
| grendal_prime | hmm...i just get in the cesna..the radio in there picks up all that stuff | 08:10 |
| Oku7 | yeah | 08:10 |
| Oku7 | although it can actively decode the trunking systems that the state police use? | 08:11 |
| Beldar | as a representative of remulak we mean you no harm | 08:11 |
| JoFo | Hello | 08:11 |
| grendal_prime | i dont like those people their converstaions are depressing...and if im doing things correctly never are they talking about me. | 08:11 |
| Oku7 | that's definitely the ideal | 08:12 |
| grendal_prime | JOFO HELLO BACK AT YA. | 08:12 |
| JoFo | I’d like to install Oracle’s virtual machine on my Ubuntu. | 08:12 |
| grendal_prime | EVERTYING OKYFINE THEN? | 08:12 |
| grendal_prime | install kvm or virtualbox | 08:13 |
| === arsdragonfl1 is now known as arsdragonfly | ||
| JoFo | At http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html I see it is available for Ubuntu up to 13.04. Is the 13.04 .deb file compatible with Ubuntu 13.10? | 08:13 |
| grendal_prime | hmmm sounds like a misuse of the phrase virtual | 08:14 |
| grendal_prime | oooh you want a virtual environment? | 08:15 |
| XATRIX | locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory | 08:15 |
| XATRIX | :( | 08:15 |
| grendal_prime | JoFo, what sort of hardware do you have for a host | 08:15 |
| somsip | JoFo: you just want to install virtualbox? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 08:15 |
| Beldar | JoFo, notice both are listed | 08:16 |
| Beldar | https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 08:16 |
| JoFo | grendal_prime⁛ Yes. I want to install CentOS and perhaps Windows on a VM on Ubuntu. | 08:16 |
| grendal_prime | ok..so basically ya you need ither the free version of virtual box or the oracle(quasi free), or kvm, or xine, or ....there may be another one...but..virtual box will probably be best if your not sure. | 08:18 |
| KI7MT | grendal_prime, the VBox install is way outdated, should use the Oracle Install instructions. | 08:18 |
| grendal_prime | i use kvm but..you kinda have to know a little more about what is going on. | 08:18 |
| grendal_prime | ya i agree, oracle is keeping up pretty well. | 08:18 |
| grapetiser | XATRIX: run sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 | 08:19 |
| grendal_prime | basically the oracle stuff is going to work best al around..but you dont want to start anything comercial with it... | 08:19 |
| grapetiser | XATRIX: modify the locale to match your preferred locale.. the above is for english US | 08:19 |
| XATRIX | Yeap | 08:20 |
| XATRIX | I need english locale | 08:20 |
| XATRIX | Fixed it | 08:20 |
| grendal_prime | Not only that but larry ellison is cool.. I like him but we have alot in common. | 08:20 |
| grendal_prime | if you dont like him you might go a different route. | 08:20 |

| grendal_prime | god i wish eclipse was writen in some besides java | 08:22 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales | 08:22 |
| XATRIX | Yeap, i've done exactly the same | 08:23 |
| XATRIX | But how to fix system restart issue ? | 08:23 |
| XATRIX | I have this thing both on my laptop ubuntu, and server | 08:23 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, sri didn't see you said you fixed it, glad its sorted. | 08:23 |
| Ascendion | grendal_prime -- you dont want to know how many different pieces of software I've said that about in the last 2 months :) | 08:23 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, have you dont all the updates and upgrades? | 08:23 |
| grendal_prime | so Ascendion i figured out how to explain this the other day... | 08:24 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, have you done .. .. | 08:24 |
| XATRIX | Yeap, gonna try reboot | 08:25 |
| circle | If I create extra partitions out of the 'unallocated space' parts of my hard drive, will it delete the stuff on the paritions i already have formatted? | 08:25 |
| grendal_prime | Ascendion, it seems to me that java and the way it is typically implemented is an awful lot like moving several million marbles from Oregon to Mexico, one marble at a time with a Mac truck and trailer. | 08:25 |
| grendal_prime | and i stand by that. I wish i could patent it. | 08:26 |
| Ascendion | grendal_prime -- I know exactly how you feel and that pretty much sums up why I switched from java to c# and never looked back :) | 08:26 |
| Ascendion | so much boilerplate code that the functionality gets lost :) | 08:27 |
| grendal_prime | not a big fan of the sharp either...but that is not the work i do mostly so im probably not the best source. | 08:28 |
| grendal_prime | what i do know is... | 08:28 |
| grendal_prime | everytime i fire up an app that is java based...i watch my i5...slooooow..down . | 08:28 |
| === dp_wiz_ is now known as dp_wiz | ||

| grendal_prime | i build a metric tone of web crap now. | 08:30 |
| grendal_prime | mostly php | 08:30 |
| grendal_prime | but..its werid...as much as that lang is used...there is not a good layout tool that you can use for html without it jacking around with your php. | 08:31 |

| carlaneedshelp | i need help | 08:32 |
| grendal_prime | its called...and get this..."web page editor" | 08:32 |

| Ascendion | hehehe was just trying to prime the pump for the rest of you -- its been a jacked up day trying to get upstart happy with my user sessions and I'm ready to call it a night :) | 08:38 |
| grendal_prime | i now the feeling | 08:39 |
| grendal_prime | wife is prolly cold in bed | 08:39 |
| grendal_prime | fire in the stove here is getting low...im gonna crash as well | 08:39 |
| Ascendion | don't wait much longer or you'll end up sleeping on the couch :) | 08:39 |
| Ascendion | laters all :) | 08:39 |
| grendal_prime | peace! | 08:40 |
| grendal_prime | circle. i recomend that tool cause its about as dummy proof as it gets when it comes to partitioning. | 08:40 |
| grendal_prime | are you haveing some sort of problem with it? | 08:41 |
| XATRIX | KI7MT: upgrade doesn't help | 08:44 |
| XATRIX | Sill can't reset my system. Only power-off/power-on | 08:45 |
| grendal_prime | XATRIX, i didnt catch the beginning of this. | 08:46 |
| grendal_prime | what version? | 08:46 |
| XATRIX | Ubuntu-sever 13.10 | 08:46 |
| XATRIX | And a desktop one | 08:46 |
| grendal_prime | whats the hardware? | 08:46 |
| XATRIX | The same issue, i do #reboot | 08:46 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, what command are you using to shut the server down with ? | 08:47 |
| XATRIX | It shuts down the processes like as usual, but when the kernel should do the RST signal to CPU - it does nothing | 08:47 |
| grendal_prime | whats the hardware | 08:47 |
| XATRIX | Simply hangs, i have to power down the system , and power up again | 08:47 |
| Danato | this is weird but my maximize button windows borders is gone, how do I bring it back? | 08:48 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, understand but what command are you trying to use to shut it down with? | 08:48 |
| XATRIX | Ok, my laptop is Acer D255E, Intel NM10/ICH7 | 08:48 |
| grendal_prime | i have that machine | 08:48 |
| XATRIX | And my server is Supermicro X10SLM-F / Intel Xeon E3 | 08:48 |
| XATRIX | KI7MT: doesn't matter, if i do shutdown -r | reboot | or press ACPI power button | 08:49 |
| grendal_prime | i think i have that server as well | 08:49 |
| grendal_prime | i run lts on them without issue. have you tried lts on them? | 08:49 |
| XATRIX | On my laptop, i have the same issue, have to press power button for 5 sec to powerdown the system, and start again | 08:50 |
| XATRIX | Negative, | 08:50 |
| grendal_prime | do you have any data on them that needs recovery? | 08:50 |
| XATRIX | I also tried PF-kernel for laptop to check it out - the same | 08:50 |
| === Kryptron_ is now known as Kryptron | ||
| grendal_prime | d255 is a 4 core atom correct? | 08:51 |
| XATRIX | grendal_prime: don't think i need a recovery, my system works pretty well, but the restart fuction doens't work tho | 08:51 |
| XATRIX | Only have to halt/power up the system | 08:51 |
| XATRIX | d255 is a 2 core atom cpu | 08:51 |
| Beldar | !reisub | XATRIX hard shutdowns are not good | 08:52 |
| ubottu | XATRIX hard shutdowns are not good: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 08:52 |
| XATRIX | Atom N455 | 08:52 |
| Beldar | reisuo for off | 08:52 |
| grendal_prime | i have the d255e i think it is..i have the 4 core multi thread... | 08:52 |
| XATRIX | O_O | 08:52 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, It's hard to say what is causing the hang up, but the best place to srat looking is in the syslog | 08:52 |
| grendal_prime | but it works fine with the lts. | 08:52 |
| XATRIX | Beldar: i don't use hard shutdown. I use normal shutdown until the system expects to send RST, but it doesn't , and later i do hard shutdown | 08:53 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, in your grub cfg, you could also try GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="noapic" on your current kernel load. | 08:54 |
| XATRIX | O_o | 08:54 |
| XATRIX | Ok, but it's not a good advice to run permanent | 08:54 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, agreed, you need to look through syslog and see what is causing the stall. | 08:55 |
| XATRIX | I try it on the server, because i need my laptop to stay in IRC channel | 08:55 |
| grendal_prime | i would ofload any important data, install lts and see if you still have the problem | 08:55 |
| Danato | Please tell me how to solve this http://i.imgur.com/kyponyC.png | 08:55 |
| grendal_prime | ill bet it will go away. | 08:55 |
| XATRIX | How can i take a look at a dmesg, while the system is going down ? | 08:55 |
| somsip | Danato: IIRC only the active window shows the close button in orange | 08:56 |
| grendal_prime | dmesg is diff from the syslog | 08:56 |
| aeon-ltd | Danato: solve what? | 08:56 |
| Danato | somsip: aeon-ltd: theres no maximize button | 08:56 |
| Danato | theres jst a gap there | 08:56 |
| XATRIX | The stall happens, when i see the last system message on screen: | 08:56 |
| XATRIX | The system will halt now | 08:56 |
| somsip | Danato: oh yeah. No idea as I dont use that GUI | 08:57 |
| XATRIX | And a black screen | 08:57 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX,thry these: sudo halt sudo shutdown -h now sudo shutdown even init 0 then tail -n75 /var/log/syslog or incear -n as necessary to try and fond the cause | 08:57 |
| hellyeah | hey | 08:57 |
| hellyeah | wtf | 08:57 |
| hellyeah | i have install pdo driver | 08:57 |
| Danato | somsip: I can switch to other border styles, and there will still be a gap there | 08:57 |
| grendal_prime | your missing a graphic | 08:58 |
| XATRIX | But the system installer, i mean live-cd was able to reset the system after install complete | 08:58 |
| hellyeah | but look at here http://dpaste.com/1512472/ wtf | 08:58 |
| hellyeah | damn it | 08:58 |
| Beldar | hellyeah, no swearing or acronyms of | 08:58 |
| hellyeah | sorry | 08:58 |
| hellyeah | but i am in the middle of project | 08:58 |
| Beldar | thans\ks | 08:58 |
| aeon-ltd | Danato: no idea, but in most window managers you can choose the button layout (aswell as omit buttons) somewhere in the options | 08:59 |
| hellyeah | and i took this error and no solution here | 08:59 |
| Oku7 | anyone have linode referal/coupon codes | 08:59 |
| somsip | hellyeah: do you ever add software using PPAs? | 08:59 |
| hellyeah | somsiq yeah | 08:59 |
| somsip | !ot | Oku7 | 08:59 |
| ubottu | Oku7: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 08:59 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, I suspect something app / deamon is getting hung and not shutting down, but that's a guess. | 08:59 |
| somsip | hellyeah: is it possioble you added something to do with PHP froma PPA? | 08:59 |
| Oku7 | thx bot | 08:59 |
| hellyeah | somsip: if it will solve my problem then yes ! | 09:00 |
| somsip | !ppa-purge | hellyeah | 09:00 |
| ubottu | hellyeah: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 09:00 |
| somsip | hellyeah: it looks like you need to add a package which is not supported by the PPA, so it's trying to fallback to the official package. And that's causing problems. This is why PPAs are troublesome | 09:00 |
| hellyeah | got it | 09:01 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, I forgot to ask which server version are you running? | 09:01 |
| XATRIX | KI7MT: noapic doesn't help | 09:01 |
| XATRIX | Will try to inspect syslog now | 09:01 |
| somsip | hellyeah: just be aware, PPAs can mess things up. So be prepared for ugliness. Hopefully ppa-purge will work for you though | 09:01 |
| hellyeah | my /etc/apt/sources.list is empty | 09:01 |
| XATRIX | But don't think it's an app, cause app aps are killed already to system shutdown | 09:01 |
| hellyeah | i didnt install any php from ppa btw | 09:02 |
| XATRIX | SYSTEMD reports " * Will now halt" | 09:02 |
| grendal_prime | php5-mysql | 09:02 |
| XATRIX | Only when everything except init process is down | 09:02 |
| somsip | hellyeah: you could try updating php5-common first then, but something has messed up somewhere... | 09:02 |
| XATRIX | Maybe i have to load APM module ? | 09:03 |
| grendal_prime | XATRIX, put the lts on a stick ...load up and use the "try" option and see if you still have the problem | 09:03 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, You could try: [ sudo halt -P ] as there's several bugs reported around this but Im uncertain if it's on all version for 12.04 only | 09:03 |
| hellyeah | the best thing i can fresh install i guess | 09:03 |
| XATRIX | grendal_prime: what's the difference between lts and latest one ? | 09:03 |
| XATRIX | 13.xx ? | 09:03 |
| grendal_prime | allot | 09:04 |
| KI7MT | Loads of changes | 09:04 |
| XATRIX | :( | 09:04 |
| hellyeah | when i try to update php5-common it ask to remove php5, php5-cli and libapache2-mod-php5{a} | 09:04 |
| somsip | hellyeah: if you're preapred to do that, maybe you should go with one of the suggestions. If it works, great. If it then breaks, you'll be reinstalling anyway | 09:04 |
| KI7MT | Peronally, I'd would not run a server on any fo the 13.xx series. | 09:04 |
| grendal_prime | just try it if it works..then your good. | 09:04 |
| hellyeah | okey | 09:04 |
| hellyeah | thanks | 09:04 |
| XATRIX | Ok, i'll try it as a last resort. But i'm interested to fix 13.xx version | 09:04 |
| grendal_prime | and the lts will be upgaded this next year. | 09:04 |
| somsip | hellyeah: sorry I didn't have anything more constructive | 09:04 |

| XATRIX | KI7MT: actually i have the same problem on : | 09:06 |
| KI7MT | .. failing to halt | 09:06 |
| XATRIX | xatrix@Acer-D255E:~$ cat /etc/issue | 09:06 |
| XATRIX | Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 09:06 |
| XATRIX | So, it's not actually server-version trouble | 09:06 |
| grendal_prime | ill bet it is.. | 09:06 |
| XATRIX | I think it's a 3.x.x kernel problem | 09:06 |
| XATRIX | Or maybe 13.xx ubuntu scripts problem | 09:07 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, all myu servers are on 12.04 still, i've not even attempted to install 13.xx anything, and wont do until 14.04 comes out. | 09:07 |
| grendal_prime | try that lts just try it on the usb stick and see if it works...boots up shuts down...whatever ..then at least you will know | 09:07 |
| XATRIX | Why not ? | 09:07 |
| somsip | KI7MT: ditto. Been playing with 14.04 in a VM the last few days | 09:07 |
| circle | Tex_Nick: yes the unallocated space is contiguous | 09:07 |
| grendal_prime | problems like this probably | 09:07 |
| XATRIX | grendal_prime: yes, seems like i have no option to try left. only lets | 09:08 |

| circle | Tex_Nick: yes | 09:09 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, just curious, what you get with this: cat /etc/default/halt | 09:09 |

| cristian_c | Hi | 09:13 |
| cristian_c | I've tried bustle-dbus-monitor and bustle | 09:13 |
| cristian_c | In the various tests I've done, I have not seen activity about mouse and keyboard connected | 09:13 |
| KI7MT | It's not LTS, it's the kernel that will or will not support it, quick way to test, install it, or you cna go to the Kernel guys and work it that way. | 09:13 |
| cristian_c | devices work but are not announced in bustle | 09:13 |
| k1l_ | circle: for arch linux questions please ask the arch support | 09:14 |
| circle | k1l_: not asking about anything related to arch linux | 09:14 |
| cristian_c | at the same time, the only information shown by bustle are those related to applications | 09:14 |
| cristian_c | may be bustle is not the right program to detect the activity of the devices? | 09:14 |
| cristian_c | and if so, what is the right program to monitor this activity? | 09:14 |
| XATRIX | KI7MT: i've invest about few hours to get used to 13.xx :D last night, and to setup encrypted dm-crypt partition to install on :))))) | 09:14 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 09:14 |
| XATRIX | It's not a good idea to erase it again :) But seems like i have no option :( | 09:15 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, Your wont see that much difference between the two .. nit from the comman-line anyway. | 09:15 |
| XATRIX | Yea | 09:15 |
| XATRIX | Ok, will try it :( | 09:16 |

| XATRIX | KI7MT: what do you mean, a level of complexity ? | 09:22 |
| circle | Tex_Nick: my situation isn't all that complicated, I just want to know if I can split the unformatted space in my HDD into a few partitions and format those partitions without losing my data | 09:22 |
| XATRIX | I need my rootfs patition to be encrypted. | 09:22 |
| XATRIX | But The datastorage will be not. | 09:22 |
| Tex_Nick | circle, short answer ... YES :) | 09:23 |
| XATRIX | I aware only for performance penalty i didn't have tested yet | 09:23 |
| somsip | circle: yes, but you can never total guarantee against data loss. I've done what you want to do with no problem using gparted \ | 09:23 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, .. Ok, that's normally the other way around .. normally /home encrypted, bad /root not. | 09:23 |
| KI7MT | and /root is not ... | 09:23 |
| circle | somsip: kk | 09:23 |
| circle | somsip: i assume gparted will tell me if I'm going to do anything that will lose me data | 09:23 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, But' it's your server, so you can setup it up however ya need it. | 09:24 |
| somsip | circle: nope :) Usually it will all look fine, but not complete, and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth | 09:24 |
| KI7MT | circle, no, gparted will only ask you if your sure you want to do something, so best idea is to have a backup. | 09:25 |
| circle | what actions would cause me to lose data? all I want to do is grab the giant 500GB of unpartitioned space and make it into a bunch of smaller formatted partitions | 09:27 |
| somsip | circle: bugs and errors happen. They've all been on here at some time. Power cut, cat rubbed the power cable...anything | 09:28 |
| somsip | circle: halfway through a disk process, some things can be damaging | 09:28 |
| circle | somsip: what do you mean half way through a disk process? | 09:29 |
| somsip | circle: partitioning | 09:29 |
| KI7MT | circle, or, simply selecting the wrong partition could cause all sorts of problems. | 09:29 |
| gordonjcp | circle: if it's unpartitioned, there can't be anything *that* interesting on it | 09:29 |
| circle | I've got half of it partitioned | 09:29 |
| circle | I'm using that partition right now | 09:29 |
| circle | the other half is unallocated space | 09:30 |
| somsip | circle: its more than likely going to be fine. But you need to be prepared for that very small chance it will mess up. So, backup | 09:32 |
| circle | somsip: nah, have nothing to back up with for now, plus there's nothing much valuable on here at the moment | 09:32 |
| KI7MT | tar -pcvzf XYZ.tar.gz ABC is a quick command that can say ya loads of time on the other side of bad things happening :-) | 09:33 |
| Tex_Nick | circle: you might want to paste HDD info to pastebin ... sudo fdisk -l ... so channel guru's have a better idea what you want to do ? | 09:34 |
| circle | i'm going to format now, let's see how it goes | 09:35 |
| KI7MT | I think we have it, he has a partition he wants to expand, most of the time, goes without any trouble. | 09:35 |
| gordonjcp | oh, he's off | 09:37 |
| gordonjcp | I was going to suggest turning the unpartitioned space into an LVM partition | 09:37 |

| KI7MT | N3sh108, whos the owner of the script? | 09:47 |
| param | any other solution folks ? | 09:47 |
| KI7MT | N3sh108, meaning, is it a user script or sudo script? | 09:47 |
| cfhowlett | param, paint is windows program. wine MIGHT be able to run it | 09:47 |
| N3sh108 | root I think | 09:48 |
| KI7MT | Why would ya need / want paint when you have Gimp ? | 09:48 |
| KI7MT | N3sh108, probable want to check it, aslo make sure your ABS paths are correct | 09:49 |
| N3sh108 | KI7MT the script was created with root but it just has a ifconfig and curl, no sudos. Curl seems to work but not the ifconfif part | 09:49 |
| N3sh108 | the script seems to be run properly = I see it in the DB | 09:50 |
| N3sh108 | just empty space for IP. | 09:50 |
| elacheche_anis | Hey guys, I'm looking for a good documentation about the KERNEL HOT SWAPPING but can't find any :/ | 09:52 |
| KI7MT | N3sh108, when your running the script from an interactive shell, your /env/path vars are in play, cron does not use a shell, so it does not know where ifconfg / curl is, you need to gie it the paths. | 09:53 |
| N3sh108 | so, no reason to not work? | 09:57 |
| Jordan_U | elacheche_anis: What do you mean by "kernel hot swapping"? Are you trying to hot swap a certain type of hardware? Trying to literally change kernels while the OS is running? Reboot the OS without rebooting the boot firmware? Something else? | 09:57 |
| KI7MT | N3sh108, that's the reason why when you run it manually, it worked, but form the cron it's not finding ifconfig and curl for extract the IP addys | 09:57 |
| N3sh108 | oh ok. But curl worked without it. Ifconfig is built-in, so it should be there as well. Anyway is ifconfig in /usr/bin? | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | /sbin/ifconfig | 09:59 |
| KI7MT | N3sh108, Something like this, int the script itself: SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | N3sh108: you can run: which ifconfig and it shows you | 09:59 |
| N3sh108 | KI7MT but curl works and that's been added later while ifconfig is built-in, that's why that wouldnt be my first guess | 10:00 |
| N3sh108 | thanks, Ill check later :) | 10:01 |
| KI7MT | N3sh108, from what you've said, if it does not find ifconfig, doesnt matter is curl works or not. | 10:01 |
| N3sh108 | I understand but if crontab can see stuff in /usr/bin it seems unlikely that it cant see scripts in /sbin/ (thanks ActionParsnip) | 10:03 |
| N3sh108 | but Ill try later ;) | 10:03 |
| KI7MT | N3sh108, in any case, that's the two most common issues with cron running scripts, path variables and absolute path names. | 10:03 |
| elacheche_anis | Jordan_U, it's exactly that "Trying to literally change kernels while the OS is running".. You know if the kernel is updates it can't be used unless you reboot.. and on a production server it's not a good way.. and you need to keep the uptime | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | elacheche_anis: there is a process for upgrading kernels inline | 10:04 |
| elacheche_anis | I was looking on the internet and I find that the thing is called hotswaping | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | elacheche_anis: look into ksplice. I dont like the idea but it may help | 10:04 |
| circle | Tex_Nick: I'm back! | 10:04 |
| Jordan_U | elacheche_anis: Not quite. What you most likely want is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ksplice . | 10:04 |
| k1l_ | elacheche_anis: you are looking for ksplice | 10:05 |
| elacheche_anis | ActionParsnip, I don't like to use ksplice on my server.. it's not FOSS :/ | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: I think its terrifying | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | elacheche_anis: but it achieves the need...... | 10:05 |
| elacheche_anis | ActionParsnip, Jordan_U k1l_ if ksplice can do it so we can do the same thing manually.. :/ | 10:06 |
| Tex_Nick | circle: that sounds like a GOOD thing ... everyting went ok ? ... at least you were able to boot ok :) | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | elacheche_anis: then make it yourself | 10:06 |
| k1l_ | elacheche_anis: you can do it manually. but its not trivial to do so: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/32611/how-to-update-kernel-without-reboot-ksplice-alternative | 10:06 |
| elacheche_anis | Emmmm thx k1l_ for the link.. ActionParsnip that's why I'm asking.. May be someone else have did that before :p | 10:07 |
| KI7MT | I understand uptime is a big concern, but a scheduled reboot only takes a few short minutes, the impact of which is almost undetectable on the months logs. | 10:11 |
| KI7MT | One has to make the call on whether that Kernel update is absolutely needed or not. | 10:12 |
| elacheche_anis | +1 KI7MT | 10:16 |
| Jordan_U | elacheche_anis: Also, ideally the uptime of your critical services should not depend on the uptime of a single server. | 10:18 |
| elacheche_anis | Jordan_U, you're talking about load balancing? | 10:19 |
| alex116 | hi, I need help with backports | 10:22 |
| alex116 | the documentation says to just run make but backports says I shouldn't run make in the backports tree | 10:23 |
| aeon-ltd | alex116: so then don't do it in the backports tree | 10:24 |
| alex116 | you mean like calling make from some other directory? | 10:25 |
| KI7MT | alex116, what kind of backports we talking about here, an applicaitons, repo backports, src backports what? | 10:25 |
| alex116 | backports 3.12-rc7-1 kernel | 10:25 |
| alex116 | I want to get the backports for a wifi driver | 10:25 |
| alex116 | I was reading this: https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Documentation | 10:26 |
| KI7MT | alex116, and the documentation your referring to is the kernel compile docs? | 10:27 |
| XATRIX | What's the best idea why should i change server 13.xx to LTS ? | 10:28 |
| XATRIX | don't tell me, because it has working APM for your server ;) | 10:28 |
| alex116 | I think it is the backports documentation. Under the section "Usage Guide" it says "Building backports follows the same build mechanism as building the Linux kernel. " | 10:28 |
| alex116 | and then it lists how to build it | 10:29 |
| alex116 | but the actual backports source complains | 10:29 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, On sever, stability, bugs and security are top priority, so using bleeding edge distros compromise all three. | 10:29 |
| KI7MT | XATRIX, If however, your just playing / testing, it's not a problem at all. | 10:30 |
| KI7MT | alex116, been a while since I build UB kernels, so I'd have to go re-read, but, if the docs say not to run make in the source tree, cd out of it and provide the path as needed. | 10:32 |
| KI7MT | alex116, also, ubuntu-kernel maybe the best place for these questions, although some folks here may compile their own. | 10:33 |
| alex116 | k thx I'll try there | 10:33 |
| tdhz77 | Could anybody help me setup 3 monitors on Ubuntu 12.04? I have 2x Nvidia GTX 670's w/ Nvidia 331.20 drivers installed. I get 2 black X's on my TwinView screens. Thanks. | 10:46 |

| N3sh108 | I am having some graphical issues after installing some updates on 12.04. How do I find which packages are messing around? | 11:08 |
| N3sh108 | I basically can enter the login screen and .xsession doesnt say much | 11:08 |
| Beldar | N3sh108, Any kernel updates in those? | 11:09 |
| N3sh108 | not sure, I just run the software updater in ubuntu, after updating the apt list | 11:12 |
| N3sh108 | 611 updates and it got screwed | 11:13 |
| Beldar | N3sh108, was this a fresh install? did you see any held packages IE a partial upgrade? | 11:13 |
| N3sh108 | it's on a PandaBoard, I think it might be related to unity, but not sure. The problem is that I need to use the GPU | 11:14 |
| N3sh108 | it was yes | 11:14 |
| Beldar | N3sh108, A partial? | 11:14 |
| N3sh108 | not really | 11:15 |
| N3sh108 | everything seemed to be installed correctly | 11:15 |
| Beldar | N3sh108, read the questions clearly, I asked two. | 11:15 |
| N3sh108 | fresh and no partial | 11:15 |
| Beldar | N3sh108, had to have been kernel upgrades there then, Have you installed any graphic drivers, if so from where? | 11:16 |
| N3sh108 | just updated the system, nothing manual | 11:17 |
| Beldar | N3sh108, and what is a panda board? | 11:17 |
| N3sh108 | I write down everything I install | 11:17 |

| Beldar | N3sh108, Yeah I see that now had you invstigated installing ubuntu on it, and if there were any specificities needed? | 11:19 |
| cfhowlett | logical_, good news: ubuntu supports ubuntu users! bad news: mint isn't ubuntu ... consider your options. | 11:19 |
| Beldar | N3sh108, for example I find this info. http://omappedia.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_12.04_on_Pandaboard_with_TI_ppa | 11:21 |

| yossarianuk | hi - can I use do-release-upgrade to update an EOL version of ubuntu to another EOL version ? | 11:39 |
| yossarianuk | i.e | 11:39 |
| yossarianuk | from 10.10 -> 11.04 | 11:39 |
| yossarianuk | (I ultimately want it to reach 12.04) | 11:39 |
| Beldar | !eol-upgrade | yossarianuk | 11:40 |
| Beldar | !eol | Duck Dynasty | 11:40 |
| ubottu | Duck Dynasty: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 11:40 |
| Beldar | yossarianuk, hehe that was for you | 11:40 |
| cfhowlett | yossarianuk, possible but absolutely not advised. MUCH better to just download the current LTS via torrent and clean install. | 11:40 |
| === herpderphurr is now known as ccccccblttbbcgej | ||
| yossarianuk | cfhowlett: cheers - its for a server in a remote DC.... No easy access . | 11:41 |
| yossarianuk | (today) | 11:41 |
| XATRIX | Can i actually update my LTS-server to server-13.xx ? | 11:41 |
| yossarianuk | yes | 11:41 |
| cfhowlett | yossarianuk, d'oh! well, you are in for some pain .. | 11:41 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, of course. However 13.10 has only 9 months support so ... perhaps LTS is better? | 11:42 |
| dufa | /quit | 11:42 |
| yossarianuk | XATRIX: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 11:43 |
| XATRIX | cfhowlett: But after 9 months will pass, there will be 13.11; 13.12 ... ? | 11:43 |
| XATRIX | I simply upgrade it and will be happy | 11:43 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, releases are in april and October ... | 11:43 |
| XATRIX | So, what's the trouble with upgrading ? Why LTS is obviously better than ? | 11:44 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, LTS is supported for considerably longer - a factor in maintaining a working server, yes? | 11:45 |
| XATRIX | Hm.... You mean, non-LTS has no support ? | 11:45 |
| mah454 | Hello | 11:46 |
| mah454 | I need alternative for Teamviewer . | 11:46 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, 9 months versus 5 years on the server ... do the math :) | 11:46 |
| mah454 | what is your idea ? | 11:46 |
| XATRIX | cfhowlett: no no... I talk about after 9 months past, i will have to completely reinstall my server ? | 11:47 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, you don't have to but running an unsupported OS on a server is generally considered bad form | 11:48 |
| yossarianuk | mah454: have you tried nomachine.com ? | 11:50 |
| XATRIX | You mean i will receive no updates more, sine 9m past | 11:50 |
| XATRIX | right ? | 11:50 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, exactly - including no security updates | 11:50 |
| XATRIX | But i simply can do apt-get dist-upgrade, and i'm back in business again... no ? | 11:50 |
| yossarianuk | yes | 11:50 |
| yossarianuk | you have 3 months.... | 11:50 |
| mah454 | yossarianuk: nomachin need valid ip address . I use invalid . | 11:50 |
| yossarianuk | mah454: sorry not understanding you. | 11:51 |
| mah454 | can use nomachin with invalid ip address ? (non internet ip address) | 11:51 |
| mah454 | like teamviewer (with ID or username or ...) | 11:52 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, actually dist-upgrade will only upgrade the current release to the most recent packages but yes, if you're attentive you can certainly upgrade from distro to distro. | 11:52 |
| XATRIX | If i run dist-upgrade on LTS , will i get 13.xx ? | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, depends on your update settings. you can set it to upgrade LTS to LTS to update to the next release. BUT if you forget and DON'T upgrade during the next release window, you have to clean install. It will NOT skip over a release. | 11:54 |
| XATRIX | :( | 11:55 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, is this your server? | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | XATRIX: dist-upgrade will upgrade your packages in 12.04, if you want to upgrade from 12.04 you can upgrade to 14.04 (LTS to LTS) or to 12.10 (next release). If you want 13.10 you will need to upgrade sequentially to each release | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | XATRIX: or, just wait til April next year then upgrade in one jump | 11:56 |
| XATRIX | cfhowlett: yea | 11:56 |
| SuperTyp | how can I stop a not responding process? | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp: kill it, if it is a gui app then run: xkill and click it | 11:58 |
| SuperTyp | how? :> | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp: how what? | 11:58 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, agree with Action Parsnip's recommendation. For now, run sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:59 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, when 14.04 comes out in April, Christmas time! | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp: is the thing you want to stop a graphical application? | 11:59 |
| SuperTyp_ | just killed firefox :D | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp: so why ask 'how'? | 12:00 |
| XATRIX | Alright, let's try to use this version | 12:00 |
| SuperTyp_ | ActionParsnip: obv I didnt do it right | 12:00 |
| XATRIX | I've just moved from RHEL/Centos/Debian (2.6) kernels, to Ubuntu, because of unsupported hardware... | 12:00 |
| SuperTyp_ | so how do I kill the window I really want to kill? | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp_: you could bin a shortcut key to run xkill :) | 12:00 |
| XATRIX | So, i'm a bit new to ubuntu policies | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp_: is the application a GUI app? | 12:01 |
| SuperTyp_ | ActionParsnip: I am fine with the terminal, just tell me how I select the right window that I want to kill | 12:01 |
| SuperTyp_ | ActionParsnip: yes | 12:01 |
| DLC | XATRIX: dist-upgrade is not the same as do-release-upgrde | 12:01 |
| SuperTyp_ | ActionParsnip: it is a GUI started from netbeans | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp_: ps -ef | grep -i netbeans | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp_: ps -ef | grep -i netbeans | awk {'print $2'} | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp_: will show the PID, you can then kill the PID | 12:02 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Guys, if i put a hdd caddy in my notebook and install a ssd in place of where the hdd is now...can i basically UNMOUNT the phisical hdd from the caddy so it stops draining power and use just the ssd...then mount the hdd only when I need it? | 12:03 |
| DLC | SuperTyp_: another easy way of managing / killing processes is through htop | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: sudo umount /mount/point | 12:03 |
| SuperTyp_ | ActionParsnip: it shows me 3 PIDs | 12:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ActionParsnip, and that's it? :O | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: well, yeah. You will need to use the right mount point obviously | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperTyp_: then run it without the awk to see what is running. If necessary kill all 3 | 12:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and it will actually cut power to it and disable it completly? | 12:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | So in theory my battery life should extend tremendously and the heat production will also lower | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: you said yu wanted to unmount it, not sure if it will power it off | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: what usb caddy do you have? | 12:05 |
| Ben64 | Wiz_KeeD: if its unmounted it should power down, if not you can probably power it down with hdparm | 12:05 |
| DLC | Wiz_KeeD: I'm not sure how much difference you get in power use from a hdd vs ssd. Silicon heats up too you know (that's why GPUs have fans on them ) | 12:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | DLC, what you say makes sense, at least that's that they are saying | 12:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | HDD caddy that replaces the optical drive with a bay where you can place your hard-drive in | 12:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that kind of caddy ActionParsnip not usb | 12:07 |
| XATRIX | DLC: dist-upgrade proceed within the same major version. And do-release-upgarde is between ? | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: i'd try the unmount first, the kernel may power it down for you | 12:07 |
| cfhowlett | XATRIX, correct | 12:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ActionParsnip, i'll get back to you guys once it arrives and it works...hopefully! | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiz_KeeD: I dont think you will save as much power as you think] | 12:08 |
| DLC | XATRIX: usually, when new versions of packages incur additional dependencies, you'll need to do a dist-upgrade too, as far as i understand. | 12:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | m3h, the idea was not to draining power from two places when I only need one most of the time | 12:09 |
| akosicarl | goodevening can anyone help me with my ubuntu.. im new at using ubuntu... | 12:12 |
| cfhowlett | !ask|akosicarl, | 12:12 |
| ubottu | akosicarl,: 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 | 12:12 |
| XATRIX | Maybe you can advice me some Virtual Server Environment, based on Ubutntu + > 3.10 kernel ? | 12:12 |
| XATRIX | Like i was running proxmox installation for openvz + kvm | 12:13 |
| XATRIX | It has 2.6.32 kernel, and doesn't support my HW | 12:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ActionParsnip, one last question...if everything goes well and the caddy comes as well as the ssd...is there a possibility to just copy paste the boot information and the ubuntu installation (maybe also the windows) on the ssd file? | 12:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Like Drive C of windows and Ubuntu, sort of like transplat everything so I don't have to install everything from scratch yet again | 12:13 |

| ActionParsnip | Anuska: there is no single best way to install anything | 12:26 |
| cfhowlett | Anuska, sudo apt-get install gnome ought to do it | 12:26 |
| DLC | deedee: puppy linux os about 85 mb :) | 12:26 |

| Anuska | becouse yestarday install debian | 12:27 |
| cfhowlett | Anuska, please paste the output of lsb_release -a | 12:27 |
| k1l_ | Anuska: what does "uname -a" give you? | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Anuska: and if you wanted a dekstop OIS why did you install the server OS? | 12:27 |
| Anuska | Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS | 12:27 |
| Anuska | Release: 12.04 | 12:27 |
| Anuska | is precise | 12:28 |
| deedee | i don't need LTS, i need a lightweigt ubuntu based distro running in my virtualbox on my low-on-space-ultrabook | 12:28 |
| akosicarl | yes is ubuntu.. some dll files and some linux files too.. it started when i opened firefox | 12:28 |
| Anuska | :) | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Anuska: I suggest you reinstall with the desktop OS and you will be fine | 12:28 |
| Anuska | 3.8.0-29-generic #42~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 14 16:19:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 12:28 |
| Ben64 | deedee: well this is probably not the right place to ask. any ubuntu distro will be over 300MB | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Anuska: why did you instal the server OS when you want a desktop OS | 12:28 |
| deedee | that's sad, i didn't know that | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Anuska: you wont gain anything doing the installthe way you are doing it | 12:29 |
| Ben64 | deedee: maybe ask in #linux or something? | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Anuska: what were you thinking you were going to gain, exactly? | 12:29 |
| deedee | hm, k thx | 12:29 |
| Anuska | install gnome classic | 12:30 |

| ActionParsnip | Anuska: you can do that in the Unity sessiojn | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Anuska: install gnome-panel and lightdm you'll be fine | 12:30 |
| Anuska | thanks | 12:30 |
| DLC | deedee: yeah, i couldn't find a ubuntu based distro with an iso smaller than 730 mb | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | !mini | 12:31 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 12:31 |

| VictorCL | I need a command in linux that I can count how many files are that starts with a word ,is there such command? | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | VictorCL: ls | grep ^word | wc -l | 12:32 |
| DLC | cfhowlett: that's pretty neat | 12:32 |
| LjL | VictorCL: there isn't a specific command but it should be easy enough to build, do you mean in a single directory? | 12:32 |
| LjL | VictorCL: if in a single directory, the above should indeed work | 12:32 |
| VictorCL | ok thanks | 12:32 |
| LjL | VictorCL: otherwise, try "find | grep '^word' | wc -l" instead | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | VictorCL: simples bash stuff | 12:33 |
| VictorCL | ActionParsnip thanks your command worked | 12:33 |
| bobo_ | hello | 12:33 |

| akosicarl | or how do i restore or re install ubuntu? | 12:35 |
| bobo_ | j | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | akosicarl, reinstall? make a bootable USB, reboot and install ... | 12:36 |
| linu1 | hi i have insert my hp pendrive into my ubuntu pc it listed in lsusb and also dmesg,but there is no device in /dev like sd.... please see http://pastebin.com/StKGSNgr can you help me to solve | 12:37 |
| akosicarl | i tried creating a bootable USB but it never finishes. | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | linu1: when you last unplugged it from a PC, what steps didyou take. What file system is it using? | 12:37 |
| mhr | I have a script referring to an executable file at some line, but i am getting "no such file or directory" error. But when I check the file, it exists at that location. What can be the problem | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | akosicarl, could be a bad USB, could be a bad ISO ... | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mhr: have you addressed it absolutely? | 12:38 |
| mhr | ActionParsnip, yes | 12:38 |
| akosicarl | i downloaded the iso from the ubuntu site.. | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mhr: as in from / and not using ~/Downloads for example? | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett | akosicarl, and then you ran the recommended md5sum check, rigth? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | akosicarl: did you MD5 test it? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mhr: is the file marked as executable? | 12:39 |
| mhr | ActionParsnip, yes. | 12:39 |
| akosicarl | im sooo sorry i dont know what that is.. ive only been using linux for 3 days | 12:39 |
| mhr | ActionParsnip, yes. the same is working fine on other machine | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum|akosicarl, | 12:40 |
| ubottu | akosicarl,: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | akosicarl: MD5 summing is not Linux specific. You can MD5 in Windows too. So being new to Linux is not a factor here | 12:40 |
| mhr | ActionParsnip, I searched and found someone referring to 32 bit and 64 bit problem, can that be the problem? | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mhr: is the file 32bit? | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mhr: and is your Ubuntu 32bit? | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mhr: the 'file' command will tell you the arch of the file. uname -m will tell you the arch of your ubuntu | 12:42 |
| linu1 | ActionParsnip, last time also pendrive did not detect in /dev so i just unplugged it, and it uses fat32. | 12:42 |

| akosicarl | how do i check my system if its working properly? | 12:44 |
| mhr | ActionParsnip, i686 is uname -m o/p on the machine it works | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | akosicarl, turn it on and use it. | 12:44 |
| mhr | ActionParsnip, how can I solve this on 64 bit machine. | 12:45 |

| cabezzza | The problem is, i can see this nomber modified only if I'm logged as root using sudo -i | 13:24 |
| cabezzza | but, if I just do su, and execute ulimit -a I can only see 1024 | 13:25 |

| theadmin | It's a long-lasting issue with Pidgin. It seems to check NetworkManager for the connection status if it's present. If you are connecting somehow else, not with NetworkManager, but NM is running, Pidgin will become unusable. | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kskksksk: may be worth a try, see if it is specific to pidgin | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kskksksk: maybe the pidgin PPA for a newer version will be friendlier | 13:41 |

| theadmin | kskksksk: It may resolve it | 13:44 |
| kskksksk | let me check | 13:44 |
| Guest88646 | Тук-тук... | 13:45 |
| theadmin | kskksksk: Ah. Pidgin has a -f option that will cause it to ignore NM. | 13:45 |
| theadmin | kskksksk: Update your menu entries to use that. | 13:45 |
| kskksksk | theadmin: how to do that?? | 13:46 |
| theadmin | kskksksk: sudo nano /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop, find the line that starts with Exec= and at the end, add -f (if there is a %f or %u at the end, then add -f before that) | 13:46 |
| kskksksk | theadmin: then it will start detecting network from sakis3g | 13:47 |

| xorwitch | just typing the name, its located in /usr/share, i know the location. But i dont know what to search in google | 13:50 |
| xorwitch | theadmin: is it called, symlink | 13:50 |
| theadmin | xorwitch: Why is it in /usr/share? Binaries should go to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin if compiled manually | 13:50 |
| xorwitch | theadmin: so should i copy it to /usr/bin | 13:51 |
| theadmin | xorwitch: But generally, you have two solutions: 1) sudo ln -s /path/to/your/application /usr/local/bin/application OR 2) add the folder the app is in to $PATH, but ONLY do that if there's only executable files in that directory, or weird stuff will start happening | 13:51 |
| Strit | isn't symlink an already existing application/command? :P | 13:51 |
| xorwitch | theadmin: thank you, will also copy it to /usr/bin thanks for the tip | 13:52 |
| theadmin | xorwitch: Do not just copy the app... that won't work, unless it's a single binary | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | xorwitch: does it not have 'sudo make install' to install it fully?> | 13:53 |
| xorwitch | theadmin: yup the whole folder relating to that particular application | 13:53 |
| theadmin | xorwitch: No, copying the *folder* to /usr/bin is defininetly not a good idea. | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | xorwitch: you can use checkinstall to make a deb of your efforts, it will gel with your OS better | 13:54 |
| theadmin | It won't do anything, and it's entirely against the FHS as well. | 13:54 |
| xorwitch | theadmin: it was a orphaned project, so may be the configuration files from the old release were not proper | 13:54 |

| b0n1 | hey there! How can i check the ip of a network device that is linked with my pc with a hub? | 14:48 |
| b0n1 | i dont want to search the whole list of deviced that are in the list of the dhcp server | 14:48 |
| b0n1 | is there a way to communicate with the hub to get a list of connected ips | 14:50 |
| b0n1 | ? | 14:50 |
| b0n1 | i think hubs cant resolve ips right? | 14:50 |
| SunTsu | b0n1: hubs seldom are managed and hubs normally don't know anything about IP addresses, they only care about MACs. | 14:51 |
| nortonspeal | list [search key] | 14:51 |
| b0n1 | so is there a way to get the ip address that is assigned by a dhcp server for a device that is connect with my ubuntu via a hub? | 14:51 |
| b0n1 | or do i have to explicitly check the dhcpserver leases? | 14:52 |
| SunTsu | b0n1: is it in the same subnet or is it routed? | 14:52 |
| b0n1 | same subnet | 14:52 |
| nortonspeal | window 4 | 14:52 |
| nortonspeal | sync | 14:53 |
| SunTsu | b0n1: so, you do know the ip, right? Or do you know the MAC only? | 14:54 |
| b0n1 | i know nothing and i want to know the ip | 14:55 |
| b0n1 | i only know that it is linked with the same hub as my pc | 14:55 |
| b0n1 | i am just too lazy to plug in a monitor and do a ifconfig | 14:55 |
| nightdemon666 | b0n1, what are you trying to do? | 14:56 |
| gordonjcp | b0n1: you could try nmapping the expected range of IP addresses | 14:56 |
| SunTsu | b0n1: Well, doing it this way prolly is more work than plugging in a display. You'd need to ping every IP, check every MAC if it is from the device's vendor | 14:57 |

| jdvdt | what is a simple way to get outgoing mail using and external SMTP relay server? | 15:16 |
| ikonia | point a mail app at the external relay ? | 15:17 |
| jdvdt | I need bugzilla, wordpress, etc... to sendmail | 15:17 |
| ikonia | so set your own mta and use the smart relay / relay host option of that to point at the external relay | 15:18 |
| jdvdt | Is there any think special one would need to do i have tried postfix, ssmtp, exim-4. | 15:18 |
| ikonia | any of those will work fine | 15:19 |
| jdvdt | Could the issue be the FDQN, or is there any other ports i need than 25 open on the network? | 15:19 |
| ikonia | what do you mean "the issue" so far you've not offered a problem | 15:20 |
| StinkyFeet | Check with your ISP some (if not most) of them block port 25. | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | jdvdt: sendmail, exim or similar will do it. | 15:20 |
| jdvdt | This Linux network is on a VLAN which is partitioned from the rest of the corporate network. | 15:20 |
| ikonia | jdvdt: can you connect to the mail relay on port 25 ? | 15:20 |
| jdvdt | I was able to TELnet to is but when STARTTLS it cancels the connection | 15:21 |
| ikonia | jdvdt: so if you can telnet to it, you know there is a connection, | 15:21 |
| ikonia | jdvdt: so then you need to resolve the handshake between your mta and the relay | 15:21 |

| ikonia | ok, so it's just the linker doing this then | 15:38 |
| ikonia | gimmic: I'd look at the permissions in /opt/AMDAPP as it doesn't appear to find anything it expects in there | 15:38 |
| ikonia | gimmic: I'd also question why it's looking for 32bit libraries like cario - although I don't know enough about xfce to know if that's normal | 15:39 |

| dinahlopz | I am installing 13.10 server on a computer that previously had windows 8... and grub fails to install on target.. is there anything I should know? | 16:06 |
| dinahlopz | I mean, did windows 8 mess something up that I can't install ubuntu without considerable effort? | 16:07 |
| Touhou11 | dinahlopz: What error message does grub display? | 16:07 |
| dinahlopz | something similar to grub failed to install on /target | 16:08 |
| phil-ns | dinahlopz: are you attempting to install 64bit or 32bit? | 16:09 |
| dinahlopz | 32bit | 16:09 |
| phil-ns | dinahlopz: can you try with a 64bit? looks like its an issue with windoz Secure Boot...the 64bit version of Ubuntu is aware of this bullsh!t | 16:10 |
| dm4-1041tx | hello guys i am using 12.04.3lts i just cleaned my fan replaced the heat sink and thermal paste now laptop is running cool 55-60degree i5 but fan is very noisy now is there any way to reduce its noise?by decreasing its power supply any ideas? | 16:10 |
| dinahlopz | phil-ns: But I don't have a 64bit system | 16:10 |
| dinahlopz | I mean... this computer isn't | 16:11 |
| jhutchins | phil-ns: Using the cpufreq and power utilities you can throttle the CPU back when it's not needed. This should allow the BIOS to slow the fan automatically. A lot depends on how the hardware was intended to work and what it can do. | 16:11 |
| Jordan_U | dinahlopz: Did the computer come with Windows 8? What CPU does it have? Is it UEFI or BIOS based? | 16:11 |
| jhutchins | !uefi | 16:12 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 16:12 |
| dinahlopz | Jordan_U: I am not sure about that.. this isn't my computer.. | 16:12 |
| Pici | 70 | 16:12 |
| ObrienDave | dm4-1041tx, since most fans are permanently lubed, you probably need to get a new fan | 16:12 |
| dinahlopz | but it looks old.. so I suppose that it didn't... | 16:12 |
| dinahlopz | It's bios based | 16:12 |

| dm4-1041tx | ObrienDave, ok | 16:15 |
| dm4-1041tx | thankyou :) | 16:15 |
| ObrienDave | yup | 16:15 |
| Jordan_U | dinahlopz: How did you determine that it doesn't have a 64 bit CPU? | 16:16 |
| dm4-1041tx | ObrienDave,turbo boost will help in this? | 16:16 |

| dinahlopz | Jordan_U: I checked the service tag with dell website | 16:18 |

| dm4-1041tx | ObrienDave, ok, and one more thing do you have any idea of pwm cabale sensors?or any of its alternatives? | 16:20 |
| Touhou11 | adas: Depends on your TV, and what devices you have connected to it | 16:20 |
| dinahlopz | ok... I think the grub problem somehow solved itself when I reinstalled again. | 16:21 |
| ObrienDave | dm4-1041tx, i know what PWM is, no idea if there are any alternatives | 16:21 |
| dinahlopz | but now I get a blank screen *after* selecting ubuntu on bootloader. | 16:21 |
| dm4-1041tx | ObrienDave, how can i find one for dm4-1041tx? | 16:21 |

| ubottu | Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the _filter_url function in the text filtering system (modules/filter/filter.module) in Drupal 7.x before 7.14 allows remote authenticated users with certain roles to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long email address. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1588) | 19:21 |
| ubottu | Open redirect vulnerability in the Form API in Drupal 7.x before 7.13 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via crafted parameters in a destination URL. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1589) | 19:21 |
| ubottu | The forum list in Drupal 7.x before 7.14 does not properly check user permissions for unpublished forum posts, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information such as the post title via the forum overview page. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1590) | 19:21 |

| carlaaaa | ok Gentoo.. thanks for the help.. | 19:23 |
| KI7MT | airking, install gnome-shell, if it's not already installed, and at your log in screen, select gnome as the default desktop. | 19:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | Christoph_vW: i see SA-CORE-2012-002 applies to 7.12 alright. you should report this as a bug if you wish for the maintainers to fix it. But my preffered wau of handling such sofware is to pull direct from drupal.org and not from the repos | 19:23 |

| andyfied | hello | 20:21 |
| keldwud | so I'm having a heck of a time learning network manager and resolvconf, but I've made it to a certain point and now I'm stuck | 20:21 |
| keldwud | is this an appropriate place to discuss it? | 20:21 |
| keldwud | it's on ubuntu | 20:21 |
| MonkeyDust_ | !ask | keldwud | 20:22 |
| ubottu | keldwud: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 20:22 |
| genii | keldwud: A more specific description also helps | 20:22 |
| keldwud | I can't ping hostnames on my local network. This is because I don't have the correct nameservers in my resolv.conf file. I am running ubuntu desktop. I can resolve the issue by editing /etc/network/interfaces and including dns-nameservers and dns-search. however this is not ideal as network manager manages my connections | 20:24 |
| keldwud | I have edited my connection and added the proper nameservers in network manager under the ipv4 settings | 20:24 |
| keldwud | however, these do not propagate through resolvconf to /etc/resolv.conf | 20:24 |
| keldwud | so I have many workarounds to get hostname resolution working | 20:24 |
| keldwud | but I would like to get it working with networkmanager and resolvconf still intact | 20:25 |
| === Guest96288 is now known as bitnumus | ||
| keldwud | if I use /etc/network/interfaces, network manager throws a fit upon reboot | 20:25 |
| llutz | keldwud: add your settings manually to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head and run "sudo resolvconf -u " then | 20:25 |
| keldwud | llutz: I was reading about that. is that the only way? is to manually edit the file which /etc/resolv.conf is symlinked to? | 20:26 |
| keldwud | I also wanted to find out why network manager doesn't pass the information along like I assumed it would | 20:26 |
| llutz | keldwud: idk if it the only way, it is one way. /etc/resolv.conf will be built from the 3 files in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/ | 20:27 |
| keldwud | and that will persist? | 20:27 |
| llutz | keldwud: yes | 20:27 |
| keldwud | my other workarounds wouldn't persist, unfortunately | 20:27 |
| keldwud | although there was the option of removing resolvconf and network manager altogether | 20:27 |
| keldwud | but that defeats the purpose | 20:27 |
| llutz | keldwud: i don't see any use in networkmanager on non-portable-computers but it should work anyways. | 20:29 |
| keldwud | was it nameserver or nameservers (plural)? | 20:29 |
| llutz | keldwud: nameserver in head | 20:29 |
| llutz | keldwud: dns-namserverS in /etc/network/interfaces | 20:29 |
| llutz | lowercase s there ofc | 20:30 |
| keldwud | ok that's why I was confused. there *is* a plural one and a singular one | 20:30 |
| verodeb | hi, how can i calculate shmmax and shmall if i want 512mb of shared memory? | 20:30 |
| jhutchins | keldwud: Actually, the right way to fix this is to have your DHCP server provide the correct DNS servers. | 20:31 |
| keldwud | jhutchins: that's what I was looking for :) | 20:31 |
| keldwud | does that work even if I set things statically? | 20:31 |
| keldwud | can I still have dhcp push the correct dns servers? | 20:31 |
| jhutchins | keldwud: If you have a static address, dhcp isn't called, so no. | 20:32 |
| jhutchins | keldwud: If you have reserved addresses provided by dhcp, then it works. | 20:32 |
| keldwud | llutz: that worked like a charm, thanks. Haven't done a reboot yet, but I trust that it will persist now, thanks | 20:32 |
| keldwud | jhutchins: yeah, I have quite a mixed environment. one network manager did dhcp right, and the other network manager did everything statically | 20:33 |
| keldwud | my work computer is on the second network | 20:33 |
| keldwud | anyway, thanks for the help guys. jhutchins, llutz. | 20:34 |
| jhutchins | keldwud: Network-manager is useful if you change networks/connections frequently. If you're always on the same network when you're on it's better to just use the interfaces file. | 20:34 |
| llutz | ack ^ | 20:35 |
| keldwud | so why does it come as default in ubuntu distro? | 20:35 |
| keldwud | if a lot of people have to disable it to get things to work | 20:35 |
| llutz | keldwud: it was called to replace the old ifupdown and found its way into a lot of distros | 20:36 |
| KI7MT | To make it easy for people to get connected .. aka easy Wireless setup etc. | 20:36 |
| keldwud | okay that makes sense. I could see how if it weren't included, many people wouldn't make the switch | 20:36 |
| bekks | keldwud: Honestly I have no clue why people do have problems with NM in pretty easy setups. I am using it for static IPs, DHCP, non-changing networks, changing networks, and I never had any issues with it. | 20:36 |
| keldwud | bekks: except for the part where I couldn't add a new nameserver for DNS :-p | 20:37 |
| keldwud | other than that, I prefer to use it as well | 20:37 |
| verodeb | please help | 20:38 |
| verodeb | how can i calculate shmmax and shmall if i want 512mb of shared memory? | 20:39 |
| keldwud | also, sorry for the "hey guys, can I ask a question?" question earlier. I totally know better, but just completely derped that. | 20:40 |
| FafaZyrafa | hello everybody | 20:40 |
| KI7MT | bekks, +1 .. same here, I use for shared NICS, multi's ports, Static, DHCP, all sorts, works like a champ for me. | 20:40 |
| KI7MT | verodeb, how to calculate it is up to you, but sysctrl can modify it. Run sysctl with -p parameter to load in sysctl settings from the default file /etc/sysctl.conf but know what your doing when you do this, as it can cause all sorts of problems. | 20:43 |

| tortib | Hello | 20:55 |
| KI7MT | Hi | 20:55 |
| tortib | I have a question about wine and World of Warcraft, when I run wow in wine i get about 5 FPS what am I doing wrong the WineHQ DB states it should be running optimally. | 20:56 |
| KI7MT | tortib, Probably best to ask in winehq channel | 20:56 |
| K4k | Hi, I'm getting a failed to install grub bootloader when I installed /dev/sdaa (the first disk on my system). It works fine when I use /dev/sda on another system. Do I need to specify something special if I'm not using a three letter drive name? | 20:56 |
| KI7MT | K4k, is /dev/sdaa whay your using ? I would think it should be /dev/sda not sdaa | 20:58 |
| tortib | KI7MT: maybe you can answer this before I check there, what are the AMD drivers from the Oibaf PPA about? | 20:59 |
| tortib | I have an ATI Radeon HD 6950 | 20:59 |
| K4k | KI7MT: If I use /dev/sda the installer fails. If I cat /proc/partitions in tty2 during install I get a whole bunch of /dev/sda{a,b,c,etc} and /dev/sdb{a,b,c,etc}. I believe this is due to the disk controller on the system. | 20:59 |
| tortib | ah i found the problem I'm not using accelerated graphics | 20:59 |
| KI7MT | K4k, we could go into long discussion on this but, Grub installs data to the MBR, and in simple terms is not a partition. rather it's a small section on a device specifically for booting OS's | 21:00 |
| tortib | i'm getting 25FPS in GLXgears | 21:00 |
| K4k | KI7MT: I know this, that's why I'm confused. My preseed file is telling the installer to install to the MBR, not a partition | 21:00 |
| yoseforb | It possible to install GTK+ 3.10 in Ubuntu 13.10, with PPA or something? | 21:01 |
| KI7MT | K4k, Is that not the behavior you want in yoru preseed or is the ourcome not what yoru expecting, kinda confused on that part | 21:02 |
| KI7MT | tortib, I have no idea which PPA you should use for that. | 21:02 |
| tortib | https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers | 21:02 |
| tortib | I found that | 21:02 |
| KI7MT | tortib, SRI but I use all Nvidia, I reall ahve no Idea bout AMD cards. | 21:03 |

| HiddenCloud | hi | 21:18 |
| HiddenCloud | I've got a new SSD and I want to move ubuntu to the SSD but keep the /home folder on my current hddd | 21:18 |
| KI7MT | yoseforb, Yes, you can build it your selld, use build essential and buld-dep then something like checkinstall for installation so you can easily remove it when the upstram package is formally released. | 21:18 |
| K4k | KI7MT: (sorry for the slow reply) No, I'm literally just specifying the disk I want to install to. I was trying to do something fancy yesterday to detect what the name of the first drive in /proc/partitions was but that was failing miserably so I reverted. Here's my preseed file if your (or anyone) want to sanity check me: http://pastebin.com/7Jugfy7H | 21:19 |
| [Gentoo] | HiddenCloud: you'd need to put that /home in fstab | 21:19 |
| HiddenCloud | I'm sort of a newbie with linux, I guess fstab is where all the locations of folders are kept? | 21:19 |
| [Gentoo] | yes the mountpoints and options | 21:20 |
| HiddenCloud | so how would I move all stuff except /home to the ssd? | 21:20 |
| HiddenCloud | I have it mounted and formatted | 21:21 |
| mdelcx | fstab maps the physical and logical disks to a filesystem | 21:21 |
| [Gentoo] | you could use rsync from a livecd, but you would have to redo grub | 21:21 |

| K4k | KI7MT: the system had Solaris on it last. I suppose it couldn't hurt to wipe the drive's partition tables with gparted or something and try again. Good thought. | 21:23 |
| KI7MT | I dont know :-) .. but it's the most active one I go into. | 21:23 |
| [Gentoo] | xen: it depends, sometimes this channel is quiet an others are busy | 21:24 |
| [Gentoo] | xen: this has most users | 21:24 |

| KI7MT | K4k, Yeah, Maybe goign in to the drive and repartitioning to a single, or removing them alltogether would resolve it. | 21:25 |
| K4k | duel-traviis: yes | 21:25 |
| [Gentoo] | mdelcx: does it o ok | 21:25 |

| anonsomnia | Hello :) So I ran some scans with rkhunter & chrootkit, just wondering how I go about verifying the threats to be threats & not false positives? | 21:32 |
| TripleX | Anyone know how to make tty2 the default terminal you see when logging in? | 21:33 |
| KI7MT | icatmeow, not sure I follow your question, but if you asking can you install Ubuntu to a USB drive, the answer is yes. | 21:33 |
| TripleX | I got it right now so tty1 is the default, but I can't figure out how to change it to tty2 | 21:33 |
| andyfied | HiddenCloud: i'm pretty sure it's easier to do a clean install on your new drive | 21:33 |
| HiddenCloud | i know but i have som eissue's with it | 21:33 |
| HiddenCloud | and I dont wanna move my files manually | 21:33 |

| fatjon | what is 700 MIB | 21:34 |
| lonewulf85 | please help dim keys do not work | 21:34 |
| andyfied | HiddenCloud: it's not just a case of copying the files since you won't copy the boot sector | 21:34 |
| HiddenCloud | and re-setup my wine prefix and stuff like that | 21:34 |
| fatjon | what is 700 MIB | 21:34 |
| HiddenCloud | I know | 21:34 |
| HiddenCloud | but that's the first step | 21:34 |
| KI7MT | nashant, I dont know how you've setup / installed your server SW, and it's probably best discussed in ubuntu-server, but you should not have to keep switching suers to do log reviews. | 21:34 |
| Beldar | fatjon, 70% of a gig, lol | 21:34 |
| Beldar | or so | 21:34 |
| icatmeow | ok, then i can install ubuntu on the my cat. 2 ports, one front and one rear. | 21:34 |
| fatjon | beldar. gigabyt? | 21:35 |
| andyfied | HiddenCloud: well install the OS then copy the contents of /usr/bin | 21:35 |
| andyfied | icatmeow: i think you need to compile your own kernal for cats | 21:35 |
| KI7MT | icatmeow, in general, you can install ubuntu to any USB storage device that you BIOS allows you to boot from. | 21:35 |
| mdelcx | icatmeow, yeah, you need a kernel for meow86 arch | 21:36 |
| andyfied | i feel cat brain is non standard storage device | 21:36 |
| hassen | wow..that MultiSystem app looks perfect.. | 21:36 |
| Beldar | fatjon, That is a pointless question, what is the issue? | 21:36 |
| KI7MT | hassen, what multi-sys app ? | 21:37 |
| fatjon | beldar. i'm dowloadind and it saw 700 MIB | 21:37 |
| hassen | KI7MT, have a look: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 21:37 |
| Beldar | fatjon, It's a measurement of the size of the data. | 21:38 |
| hassen | i'm trying it,it looks neat | 21:38 |
| Beldar | amount/size | 21:38 |
| KI7MT | hassen, Ok, yes, read that earlier, look pretty nifty, thought I've not tried it out yet. | 21:38 |
| fatjon | how mega is a MIB? | 21:38 |
| hassen | KI7MT, whatever you want. | 21:38 |
| K4k | HiddenCloud: I'd second what andyfied is saying. I just tried to type out steps for you but realized it would probably trip FloodBot | 21:39 |
| HiddenCloud | you can pastebin them if you want | 21:39 |
| fatjon | beldar. how mega is a MIB? | 21:39 |
| HiddenCloud | installing a new os on it isnt an option | 21:39 |
| HiddenCloud | due to my dvdrom making dubstep | 21:39 |
| Beldar | fatjon, this is ubuntu support, first how is this related, and two the web is full of info use it | 21:39 |
| K4k | usb stick? | 21:39 |
| KI7MT | hassen, would need a pretty fast pen-drive though or you'd get bored waiting for boots to finish :-) | 21:39 |
| HiddenCloud | nope, lost it like a year ago | 21:39 |
| HiddenCloud | I did this before | 21:39 |
| HiddenCloud | just not with an assd | 21:40 |
| fatjon | ooooooooooooooooo | 21:40 |
| HiddenCloud | that time I made an image | 21:40 |
| HiddenCloud | but this time its not possible | 21:40 |
| fatjon | ok ok | 21:40 |
| K4k | HiddenCloud: it's possible, just very high risk of foobar | 21:40 |
| hassen | KI7MT, yep | 21:40 |
| HiddenCloud | whats the name of the file-browser from xubuntu? | 21:40 |
| K4k | thunar? | 21:41 |
| HiddenCloud | oh yeah | 21:41 |
| HiddenCloud | keep forgetting | 21:41 |
| andyfied | right | 21:42 |
| andyfied | so i still recommend buying a usb stick then installing from scratch. if you really want to do it the tough way you might want to search on ubuntuforums.org | 21:43 |
| KI7MT | rr. yeah Thunar is Xub FM | 21:43 |
| andyfied | cos i have no clue | 21:43 |
| KI7MT | K4k, just curious .. are you installing / administering lots of systems or just the one? | 21:54 |
| K4k | KI7MT: a bunch. This is the first one I've done, however, that has enough hard drives in it to wrap from sda-z and then start doing sdaa-az | 21:55 |
| mdelcx | damn | 21:55 |
| K4k | oh, I am in gparted now on the system and found out that that's why I am seeing it, it's not because of the disk controller. This thing just has a *#@! ton of disks | 21:55 |
| KI7MT | K4k, Landscape may be a tool better suited for you needs then. Foud this tib-bit on preseeds: Although most questions used by debian-installer can be preseeded using this method, there are some notable exceptions. You must (re)partition an entire disk or use available free space on a disk; it is not possible to use existing partitions. | 21:56 |
| genii | Sounds like a NAS | 21:56 |
| shreezbot | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my homeserver machine and it keeps hanging at language select. I checked the md5sub and they do not match. Is there a way around this? | 21:56 |

| shreezbot | md5sum even... | 21:56 |
| icatmeow | ok, I connected flash, and how restart my cat? | 21:57 |
| K4k | KI7MT: I would LOVE to use landscape if Canonical would ever call me back about my inquiries | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | icatmeow: depends on the cat | 21:57 |
| K4k | I've tried reaching out to them about a dozen times and I never receive an email from anyone about getting a quote | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | icatmeow: some cats may have a nonmaskable interrupt that you can fire with a small laser pointer | 21:57 |
| KI7MT | K4k, ok .. can't help with that one :-) | 21:57 |
| K4k | yeah, sorry, just ranting :) | 21:57 |
| Calinou | KI7MT sounds like a canonical employee | 21:58 |
| Calinou | suggesting landscape... never seen anyone using that | 21:58 |
| K4k | He had me fooled ;) | 21:58 |
| genii | Heh, "how do I restart my cat?" | 21:58 |
| KI7MT | Calinou, No, Im not, but if the $$ were right I would certainly entertain the idea :-) | 21:58 |

| ertl | gmachine_24: it works if I run it by hand | 22:00 |
| RealKillaz | Is it OK? | 22:01 |
| gmachine_24 | K4k, yes, but . . . OK, so if I back them up and then restore over the new install......... won't that also cause some problems? or no .... | 22:01 |
| K4k | gmachine_24: some of them will ;) | 22:01 |
| icatmeow | ys? | 22:02 |
| K4k | let me see if I can remember which ones are the most important | 22:02 |
| gmachine_24 | K4k, right, which brings me back to where I began :-) | 22:02 |
| KI7MT | RealKillaz, im not an iptables guru, but what are you trying to route ? | 22:02 |
| jhutchins | !tell RealKillaz about ics | 22:02 |
| ubottu | RealKillaz, please see my private message | 22:02 |
| gmachine_24 | ertI, if you run it by hand as in type it out in a command line? | 22:03 |
| gmachine_24 | ...or terminal.......? | 22:05 |
| RealKillaz | KI7MT, I'm trying to setup a NAT.... on one server.. | 22:05 |
| icatmeow | His wool stood on end. And from him smells bad. | 22:05 |
| KI7MT | RealKillaz, ahh ok .. now I can have a poke around and see what falls out. | 22:06 |
| RealKillaz | KI7MT, one server is in a public subnet and should route the port on the public subnet to another port of another machine in a private subnet | 22:06 |
| RealKillaz | So I can reach the machine in the private subnet: telnet <ip-of-machine-A> 22 is giving me the correct result.. | 22:07 |
| RealKillaz | when I'm on the machine B which is in the public subnet | 22:07 |
| icatmeow | Cat stopped moving and not breathing. USB flash driver fall like a bullet. | 22:08 |
| KI7MT | RealKillaz, I understand what your doing, have a looky here: http://www.howtoforge.com/nat_iptables | 22:08 |
| RealKillaz | So I;m trying to put an iptable rule that allows me to route the port 2022 on the public machine to the port 22 of the private machine | 22:08 |
| icatmeow | Is this normal? So it should be? | 22:08 |
| K4k | gmachine_24: can you pastebin me a list of the .* files/directories in your home directory. I can give you an idea of the ones that you don't need to bring if you want. | 22:08 |
| K4k | without knowing what you have it's hard to say what you should backup and what you should not | 22:09 |
| fishcooker | i have server 10.04 ... how to know from command line the startup program running/ init.d ... list running program automatically | 22:09 |

| fever308 | jhutchins: I need one for armhf | 22:14 |
| TripleX | Hello everyone. I'm having a problem when trying to boot to terminal instead of X | 22:14 |
| TripleX | Anyone have a minute to chat? | 22:14 |
| jhutchins | !armhf | 22:14 |
| TripleX | I'm trying to boot just to terminal and startx if I need the GUI | 22:15 |
| fever308 | !armhf | 22:15 |
| fever308 | !armel | 22:15 |
| TripleX | i figured out how to do this, but startx fails... | 22:15 |
| MonkeyDust_ | TripleX GDM has that option, LightDM does not, so install GDM | 22:15 |
| TripleX | MonkeyDust: I'm using Lubuntu, does that change anything? | 22:16 |
| TripleX | I'm quite new to this all. | 22:16 |
| kostkon | TripleX, to start X do sudo service lightdm start | 22:16 |
| MonkeyDust_ | TripleX i missed that part | 22:16 |
| kostkon | TripleX, oh lubuntu.. | 22:16 |
| TripleX | MonkeyDust_: I forgot to mention that | 22:16 |
| TripleX | kostkon: I was able to get it to boot to the terminal and everything worked, but running "startx" resulted in a black screen... | 22:16 |
| TripleX | I undid what i did and the GUI is working again but only when booting by default. | 22:16 |
| TripleX | the goal was to boot into tty2 (because tty1 has junk in it and is unusable) and run "startx" when/if I need a gui | 22:17 |
| Allisonfdsdfs | Hello | 22:18 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | Hello | 22:18 |
| TripleX | MonkeyDust_: any ideas? | 22:18 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | I need some help :p | 22:18 |
| TripleX | kostkon: if you got any ideas as well, let me know | 22:18 |
| kostkon | TripleX, try sudo service lightdm start | 22:18 |
| K4k | TripleX: everything I'm finding indicates that lubuntu uses LightDM in which case "service lightdm start" should work | 22:18 |
| _pers3us_ | Allisonfdsdffds, What? | 22:18 |
| KI7MT | TripleX, just for info, is this a server or desktop install ? | 22:19 |
| TripleX | KI7MT: Desktop | 22:19 |
| TripleX | so startx was technically incorrect | 22:19 |
| TripleX | so from terminal, I just run that command to start the gui, is that correct/ | 22:19 |
| kostkon | TripleX, yes | 22:19 |
| KI7MT | yes | 22:19 |
| TripleX | Fantastic! | 22:19 |

| TripleX | I had one other question guys | 22:19 |
| TripleX | Any idea how to default it to tty2? | 22:20 |
| _pers3us_ | TripleX, What are you trying to do? | 22:20 |
| TripleX | I couldnt figure that out and it isn't really neccessary as I can ctrl alt f2 but tty1 is useless to me | 22:20 |
| TripleX | pers3us_: I'm trying to make lubuntu boot to tty2 instead of tty1 | 22:20 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | anynone help me? :p | 22:20 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | crap... | 22:20 |
| _pers3us_ | Allisonfdsdffds, What is the problem then? Use any irc program and fire it up | 22:21 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | im a totall newbie at this things | 22:21 |
| _pers3us_ | umm tt1? | 22:21 |
| [erk]hacker | hey | 22:21 |
| [erk]hacker | wtf ? | 22:21 |
| icatmeow | Excellent, I found my cat. But he still was not breathing. Today will be a severe thunderstorm. I think a good thunderbolt revive him. I tie him to the antenna on the roof. And to see him in the morning. | 22:21 |
| _pers3us_ | TripleX, tty1? the DM boots to tty7 iirc | 22:21 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | _pers3us_, well... I dont know how :p I barely could open this chat :p | 22:21 |
| KI7MT | TripleX, You can use bind to change the default tty but it's not straight forward. | 22:21 |
| [erk]hacker | fofly bye | 22:21 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | im not a tech girl | 22:22 |
| _pers3us_ | TripleX, You don't want the desktop starting up right? | 22:22 |
| _pers3us_ | Allisonfdsdffds, Hmm, which chat client are you using. | 22:22 |
| shreezbot | Ok, how am I supposed to install Ubuntu, when the only way I have to download it is from a Windows machine and the md5sums are always different???? | 22:22 |
| KI7MT | TripleX, bascially, you use bind and bind it to a function script of sorts. | 22:22 |
| TripleX | pers3us_: It does normally, but when I edit grub to "quiet splash text" it boots to tty1 | 22:22 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | _pers3us_, XChat IRC on ubuntu studio :p | 22:23 |
| TripleX | KI7MT: Alright, i think that is more complex then i am looking for | 22:23 |
| _pers3us_ | Ah, so it boots alright but then? | 22:23 |
| TripleX | pers3us_: That is correct, i want to start at tty2 (a shell) and boot to GUI if needed. | 22:23 |
| KI7MT | TripleX, I'll go find an example. | 22:23 |
| TripleX | pers3us_: It just goes to tty1 instead of 2 | 22:23 |
| TripleX | Its not a big issue, just an inconvience really | 22:23 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | damn... i knew I wont find it heplful :p | 22:24 |

| KI7MT | TripleX, Found one: Change TTY Shortcut Linky: http://askubuntu.com/questions/147128/change-default-tty-shortcut | 22:25 |
| TripleX | Ill take a look at that now | 22:25 |
| _pers3us_ | TripleX, Umm, I am not able to understand tty1? Have you disabled lightdm or whatever dm service you have from init? Is Xorg running? | 22:25 |
| TripleX | both the man page and the URL you linked | 22:25 |
| andyfied | what torrent client are you using? | 22:25 |
| Allisonfdsdffds | _pers3us_, okay... I got that but nothing is happening... Do I have to edit some settings? | 22:25 |
| TripleX | pers3us_: I'm not sure if i am using the correct terminology but to my understanding ctrl+alt+f1 always has system stuff running | 22:25 |
| TripleX | pers3us_: I wanted to boot to ctrl + alt + f2, so I could have a clean shell to boot to | 22:26 |
| icatmeow | If nothing happens, then Ubuntu killed my cat. | 22:26 |
| _pers3us_ | TripleX, Oh! IIRC you need some script for that, it doesn't go directly in tty2 | 22:26 |
| icatmeow | imho | 22:26 |
| _pers3us_ | Allisonfdsdffds, Wait a min, lemme check. | 22:27 |
| TripleX | pers3us_: Yea sorry, I didn't know how to communicate that, is tty2 the correct terminolog? | 22:27 |

| pieces029 | My home directory is always encrypted when I log into my system does anyone know how to have it unencrypt it when I log in? | 22:37 |
| andyfied | no connect on 6667 either | 22:37 |
| KI7MT | pieces029, I dont understand the question, you want to remove encryption form your /home ? | 22:39 |
| pieces029 | no I want it to be encrypted but I want it to unencrypt so I can see it when I log in | 22:40 |
| pieces029 | currently I have to log in then run ecryptfs-mount-private | 22:40 |
| LvMises | o/ all | 22:41 |
| KI7MT | pieces029, I think, you can add that to the end of your .bashrc : ecryptfs-mount-private | 22:41 |
| LvMises | I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I want to install drivers for a GeForce 6200 Turbocache. I'm following instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/153915/how-to-install-drivers-for-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200-on-precise but it doesn't look too promising. | 22:42 |
| pieces029 | But then I have to type my password again. There is no way to have that just happen? I'm pretty sure it use to, since I didn't have to do this before. | 22:42 |
| KI7MT | pieces029, You woudl ahve to cd $HOME before that though. | 22:43 |
| LvMises | I ended up here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173-updates/173.14.35-0ubuntu1/+build/3597638 but it's for Quantal. I don't know what to do. :( | 22:43 |
| _pers3us_ | pieces029, or to your profile.d/somescript.sh if you are sole user. or your entire home is mounted. You can also pass the decrypt password using stdin | 22:43 |
| K4k | pieces029: see if anything here proves helpful, this sounds like the same issue you're having. http://askubuntu.com/questions/115497/encrypted-home-directory-not-auto-mounting | 22:43 |
| KI7MT | pieces029, _pers3us_ would still ahve to send a hash PW .. not sure how that would work. | 22:44 |
| _pers3us_ | pieces029, Just pass the password using stdin. | 22:44 |
| pieces029 | K4k, that looks promissingt | 22:44 |
| _pers3us_ | KI7MT, It works alright, I have written a decription script which took my password in plain text and did the decrypt-remount | 22:45 |
| raub | I have rsyslog setup in a client host to forward all of its traffic to a machine called logger, as in "*.* @@logger:541 | 22:45 |
| raub | When I do "tcpdump -v port 541" on the client machine, I see nothing. | 22:45 |
| raub | No error messages when I restart rsyslog | 22:45 |
| K4k | raub: what file do you have *.* $$loger:541 specified? I have had similar issues before. | 22:46 |
| KI7MT | _pers3us_, pieces029 send a plain-test PW to un-encrypt data .. not very secure I would think .. | 22:46 |
| K4k | raub: and where in the file? | 22:47 |
| _pers3us_ | KI7MT, Ya true. It isn't secure. | 22:47 |
| KI7MT | Kind of defeats the purpose of encrytion to begin with | 22:47 |
| raub | K4k: /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf has that line | 22:47 |
| raub | K4k: in the client | 22:47 |
| K4k | and where in /etc/rsyslog.conf does it include /etc/rsyslog.d/*? | 22:48 |
| _pers3us_ | KI7MT, The idea is to to run the script and keep the script in such a place where it can't be accessed unless user has actually logged in or something. I did it for completely different purpose though. | 22:48 |
| raub | the logger is setup to listen for traffic on 514/tcp, but right now I want to forget about it and focus on the client | 22:48 |
| raub | K4k: exactly. This is a standard 12.04LTS install | 22:48 |
| K4k | raub: So, the issue I've had in the past is that the $IncludeConfig line fell after a conflicting rule. Try adding the *.* rule you have in the 50-default.conf file at the top of rsyslog.conf and see if it works | 22:49 |
| KI7MT | _pers3us_, yes I understand the intent, but that PW, bing in plain test, sitting where it is, outside of the encrypted $HOME is a big security hole. All on would have to do is breach the system and read the script. | 22:50 |
| K4k | and see if you see traffic. If you do, start moving it below one rule at a time until it stops working. | 22:50 |

| duel-traviis | I download windows7 iso and Now when I try to make a live dvd it says I dont have anough space although the iso is only 2.3 gb | 22:52 |
| KI7MT | _pers3us_, pieces029 in any case you can pass the PW to a script, use decrypt via .bashrc and have it do what your asking, but be aware, it defeats the encryption protection you've setup. | 22:52 |
| gmachine_24 | LvMises - you must give us details.... name of video card, chipset, etc. | 22:52 |
| gmachine_24 | LvMises - also, what problems are you having? error messages? what have you tried? | 22:53 |
| pieces029 | KI7MT: Yeah I see that now. It's really wierd I don't remember having to unecrypt the home folder orginally but it's a server so maybe I was just doing maintenance stuff without worrying about it. | 22:53 |
| gmachine_24 | duel-traviis . . . and? | 22:53 |
| KI7MT | !details | LvMises | 22:53 |
| ubottu | LvMises: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:53 |

| LjL | it would be nice if i could check whether RILA's post is something inappropriate, but i cannot because country-wide blocks... | 22:54 |
| pieces029 | KI7MT, do you think having the home directory encrypted matters for trying to do port forwarding ssh -R stuff? | 22:54 |

| gmachine_24 | duel-traviis: try a different dvd? | 22:55 |
| KI7MT | pieces029, ssh port forwarding is a whole different beasty .. if you use keys, it's can all be automated, but still wont decrypt as your looking for. Personally, I dont really see a need for encrypting on a server, but that's just me. | 22:56 |
| duel-traviis | gmachine_24, Its my only usb.. :/ | 22:56 |
| gordonjcp | LjL: see PM | 22:56 |

| gordonjcp | pieces029: how familiar are you with Linux, or even Unix in general? | 22:56 |
| gmachine_24 | because it's impossible to tell what you're trying to do | 22:56 |
| pieces029 | KI7MT, So the reason I was looking into the encryption thing was because my forwarding wasn't working. Though maybe the hard drive needed to be mounted. Looks like a different issue. When I try to connect to the forwarded port it just hangs. | 22:57 |

| KI7MT | pieces029, Ok, it would be good if you could capture the -v/-vv errors when you get time. | 23:05 |
| iBog | hello | 23:06 |
| iBog | is there an iTunes clone for Ubuntu? | 23:06 |
| gmachine_24 | iBog, what does it need to do | 23:06 |
| bekks | iBog: there is no iTunes clone at all. | 23:06 |
| gmachine_24 | but, generally, what bekks said | 23:06 |
| iBog | gmachine_24: catalog music and videos as well as play them | 23:06 |
| iBog | catalog/index | 23:07 |
| iBog | ok | 23:07 |
| gmachine_24 | iBog, you mean catalogue as in keep track of music and videos on your hard drive and play them? | 23:07 |
| KI7MT | iBog, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=iTunes+Clone+for+Ubuntu | 23:07 |
| bekks | iBog: Does it have to work with iDevices? | 23:07 |
| gmachine_24 | catalog and index, then, yes | 23:07 |
| gmachine_24 | many | 23:07 |
| iBog | bekks: ideally | 23:08 |
| iBog | what is the most popular gmachine_24 | 23:08 |
| gmachine_24 | iBog: I don't know. I use Banshee and a version or software from Logitech which used to be called slimserver and was OS - but you should check around because there are many options | 23:09 |
| gmachine_24 | *version of software | 23:09 |
| icatmeow | bb friends i go to sleep | 23:10 |
| KI7MT | iBog, here ya go, 10 reviews: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-linux-replacements-for-itunes/ | 23:11 |
| KI7MT | iBog, Quote fro the first one on the list: This is probably the most popular of all the music library tools on Linux | 23:12 |
| nocternal | iBog: I find an all-in-one-product never does both well - video and music. Some will do one or the other better. Just my $0.02. | 23:12 |
| iBog | thanks all | 23:13 |
| pulsar78 | im trying to remove some display drivers, do i only keep my card ? (intel) because i also notice video-all and video-fbdev | 23:13 |
| nocternal | iBog: I use XBMC for local playback of video/movies and subsonic for streaming music and videos to devices. I still use iTunes (in VM) to do iPhone stuff though. :| | 23:14 |
| gmachine_24 | yeah, I've used 6 out of 10 of those and 7 if you count a brief use of itunes | 23:14 |
| KI7MT | pulsar78, Unless those drivers are causing you conflicts or they are failed attempts to resolve a problem, maybe best left alone. | 23:16 |
| maheanuu | I have a question on a problem that has happened after formatting several PNY USB Flash Drives in Ubuntu 12.04 Ubuntu, they were formatted Ntfs which I had done with other drives, but now these drives are showing up in Disk Utility as "Media Not Found" | 23:16 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, Anything on them? HOw long ago were they formatted, and with what app did you format with? | 23:18 |
| maheanuu | Beldar,I used the Ubuntu Format App and chose Ntfs I have not had this problem before, | 23:20 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, Format app? Dissk? or gparted or the cli? are these encrypted? | 23:21 |
| Beldar | Disk app* | 23:21 |
| maheanuu | This was recently I bought them for the family, (I live in Tahiti on the Island of Raiatea) They use them for big music or video files | 23:21 |
| maheanuu | Beldar,Disk Utility | 23:22 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, Anything on them? | 23:23 |
| Kronosynth | I can't get 'dkms status' to work on my system, or dkms in general: it always gives me a general 'dkms.conf not found!' error | 23:24 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, ntfs partitions can become fragmented and show as unreadable. | 23:24 |
| Kronosynth | does anyone know how I can fix this? | 23:24 |
| maheanuu | I did 5 of them and all are not showing anything, They Show up in Disk Utility but do not have anyway to do anything and they are listed as No Media | 23:24 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, Can you mount the,? | 23:25 |
| Beldar | them* | 23:25 |
| maheanuu | Beldar, brb | 23:25 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, Read the questions carefully please. | 23:25 |
| yacc | How painful would a 12.04LTS -> 13.10 upgrade be? | 23:26 |
| === zz_chamunks is now known as chamunks | ||
| Beldar | yacc, you have to go through all the releases between, I would wait for the april release of 14.04 a lts and upgrade straight to it. | 23:26 |
| xiamx | I have 2 ethernet ports, one with internet access and the other one is a localnet, what should i do so that packets destinated to internet go through the right port? | 23:26 |
| keepguessing | "30 08 * * 5" what does this crontab setting mean? Does it mean run on every friday at 8:30 AM ? | 23:27 |
| maheanuu | Beldar, It is showing up in Disk Utility as a "Generic Flash Disk | 23:27 |
| keepguessing | Sorry for reposting it | 23:27 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, So what is the actual problem here, explain clearly, IE can't be mounted, or no actual partitions now. | 23:28 |
| KI7MT | yacc, Beldar +1 on waiting or, install a fresh 13.10 .. upgrading more than 2nd level generally not a good idea, at least from my past attempts. | 23:29 |
| === unforgiven512_ is now known as unforgiven512 | ||
| Beldar | I never upgrade | 23:29 |
| KI7MT | I do for testing and that's bout it. | 23:30 |
| yacc | Beldar, well, I happen to have hardware (Wacom Bamboo Pad) that the 12.04LTS wacom.ko does not recognize, ... | 23:30 |
| ColdKey | Ubuntu doesn't recognize all of my mouse buttons. How can I fix this? | 23:30 |
| === Kronosynth is now known as Kron | ||
| Beldar | yacc, well thanks for not sharing that till now. | 23:30 |
| lickalott | what mouse are you using ColdKey, and was it present during installation? | 23:30 |
| yacc | Beldar, well, we'll see tomorrow if 13.10 recognizes it better, I've got 13.10 in the office ;) | 23:31 |
| maheanuu | Beldar, Firmware Version: 7.76 /dev/sdb then "No Media Detected" But it will try to format and then fail immediately with the message Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found | 23:31 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, Logitech MX510. Yes it was. Reciever was plugged in all the time and I used it during the install. All buttons are recognized except wheel right click :\ | 23:31 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, use gparted and make sure they have msdos partition tables, then make a partittion. | 23:32 |
| lickalott | ColdKey = http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=485175 | 23:32 |
| mbrigdan | This is a bit of a specific question, but I'm having trouble compiling kicad on ubuntu 13.04 64-bit. Cmake says it can't find OpenGL, despite me installing every opengl library I can find (including 32-bit versions) | 23:33 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, cp: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory | 23:33 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, I'm assuming you do not need gpt, we are not even close to actually communicating in any efficient manner. | 23:33 |
| ColdKey | I don't have that file in my etc :\ | 23:33 |
| maheanuu | Beldar, Thanks Much!!! I will try it right now.... That would be sudo gparted /dev/sdb In this case wouldn't it? | 23:34 |
| lickalott | ColdKey: cd /etc; ls -lrt | grep X post results here | 23:34 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, use the gparted gui the app | 23:34 |
| maheanuu | Ok and thanks again | 23:34 |
| KI7MT | That how too is a bit dated, it'a for fiesty 7.04 | 23:34 |
| Beldar | not sure on the cli is al maheanuu | 23:34 |
| mrsun_ | hmm anyone know of any known issue where the whole UI (in this case gubuntu) freezes but mouse pointer works? | 23:34 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Aug 20 20:00 X11 | 23:35 |
| lickalott | whats inside there? | 23:35 |
| KI7MT | ColdKey, You probably nee to look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:35 |
| KI7MT | ColdKey, also, have a looky here: http://www.butlerpc.net/blog/2012/09/configure-logitech-m510-usb-mouse-on-ubuntu-12-04/ | 23:35 |
| ColdKey | I don't have xorg.conf :\ | 23:36 |
| lickalott | ColdKey whats inside your X11 dir? | 23:36 |
| lickalott | what ver of ubuntu are you running? | 23:37 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, If you are using the terminal to open apps be sure to use gksudo | 23:37 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, 12.04 LTS | 23:37 |
| lickalott | try creating the file. and entering in the information from the page (i.e. copy paste) then reboot and see what happens | 23:38 |
| maheanuu | Beldar, OK, I already had it, but it doesn't see the /dev/sdb either | 23:38 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, No sdb in the drop down top right corner? | 23:38 |
| KI7MT | ColdKey, if it dont'e exist, you can create it by: X -configure | 23:39 |
| KI7MT | ColdKey, then: cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:39 |
| KI7MT | you'll need to use sudo too | 23:40 |
| ColdKey | I need to install X server then? | 23:40 |
| lickalott | you should have x server unless you're running the server edition of Ubuntu | 23:40 |
| === donttrustem__ is now known as donttrustem | ||
| KI7MT | ColdKey, after you create it, and copy it, reboot, then you should be able to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf can | 23:40 |
| maheanuu | No, it shows my sda drives and sdd thru sdk but skips that hole where sdb should be??? | 23:41 |
| hassen | http://technicalworldforyou.blogspot.com/2012/02/ubuntu-command-line-wallpaper-for.html | 23:42 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, Description:Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS | 23:42 |
| ColdKey | KI7MT, I don't need to instal xserver-xorg or I have to install it first then create config file? | 23:42 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin it | 23:42 |
| lickalott | that doesn't help homey. I'm running server 12.04.3 LTS, mine would show the same thing. Are you running the desktop version? | 23:42 |
| maheanuu | Beldar,No, it shows my sda drives and sdd thru sdk but skips that hole where sdb should be??? | 23:43 |
| lickalott | maheanuu a "hole" or its grayed out? | 23:44 |
| KI7MT | ColdKey, well yes, you dont have an xserver installed, what hardware you running? you said your on 12.04 LTS yes? | 23:44 |
| KI7MT | if you dont have xserver | 23:44 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, Sorry about that, I'm new to Ubuntu (*nix in general). How can I check which version I'm running. I installed it from Live USB but I'm 99% sure it's desktop version. | 23:44 |
| lickalott | do you have a GUI? | 23:44 |
| ColdKey | KI7MT, I'm running it on Lenovo Y580 with GUI | 23:45 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, Yes | 23:45 |
| lickalott | then it's desktop | 23:45 |
| lickalott | you should have xservers installed. | 23:45 |
| lickalott | to check open a terminal and type - dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall then look for xserver (or grep for it) | 23:45 |
| Beldar | maheanuu, run sudo fdisk -l in the terminal and pastebin it | 23:46 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, I've found this line xserver-xorg-coreinstall | 23:46 |
| ColdKey | and I have like 10-20 more with -video -input and etc. | 23:46 |
| maheanuu | lickalott, no it is just skipped over, the next line down is /dev/sdd | 23:47 |

| yofun | Ello... so either bash or python is messed up. I dont really know what it is but when I type (most of the time) a command I get "-bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory" | 23:48 |
| maheanuu | Beldar, how do I "pastebin" it? | 23:49 |
| PatrickDickey | yofun: That means that you're either typing the name of the file wrong, or it doesn't exist (normally). | 23:49 |
| Beldar | !pastebin | maheanuu | 23:49 |

| * PatrickDickey needs to wake up... Sorry about that. | 23:50 | |
| yofun | PatrickDickey: No I mean any command I type at terminal... | 23:50 |
| yofun | yofun@leonard:/usr/bin$ sudo su bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory yofun@leonard:/usr/bin$ | 23:50 |
| PatrickDickey | yofun: if you to into /usr/bin and type ls, do you see python listed? | 23:51 |
| yofun | I see it listed. | 23:51 |
| yofun | But I cant cd or nano it. | 23:51 |
| joshtekmobile | So hey. What does the precious and mighty ubottu have a link for when python seems to be there in /usr/bin/python yet the system doesn't seem to think so. | 23:51 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, Here is the output of dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep xorg - > http://paste.ubuntu.com/6602566/ | 23:51 |
| ColdKey | Does it mean I have xorg installed or not? | 23:51 |
| yofun | lol joshtekmobile shush. Im trying to handle it. | 23:52 |
| joshtekmobile | Aww you already asked :P | 23:52 |
| yofun | PatrickDickey: I see it listed. But I cant cd or nano it. | 23:52 |
| yofun | I can nano it but its just a "new file" | 23:52 |
| yofun | lol josh. | 23:53 |
| KI7MT | ColdKey, run this, if it fails, it's not, but it should be: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:54 |

| lickalott | true ColdKey | 23:54 |
| yofun | joshtekmobile: In fact...none of those files in /usr/bin seem to work. | 23:54 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, KI7MT -> Package `xserver-xorg' is not installed and no info is available. | 23:55 |
| lickalott | its odd that there isn't an xorg file.... | 23:55 |
| PatrickDickey | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1799720 might point you in the right direction, yofun. | 23:55 |
| lickalott | xserver-xorg-coreinstall <----- from the dpkg....???? | 23:55 |
| KI7MT | ColdKey, I need to read on this a bit, I dont understand how xserver is not installed on a Desktop installation, makes no sense at all. | 23:55 |
| joshtekmobile | yofun: which one? | 23:55 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, Yes, that was the paste from your command | 23:56 |
| ColdKey | KI7MT, Ok, please help if you can. :) I'm new to Ubuntu so I have no idea what's wrong.. :\ | 23:56 |
| ColdKey | I found that tutorial on ubuntu forums but I couldn't find the xorg.conf. It seems that it's because it doesn't exist :) | 23:56 |
| yofun | PatrickDickey: Nope.. | 23:57 |
| yofun | PatrickDickey: bash: cd: /usr/local/bin/python: No such file or directory | 23:57 |
| yofun | bash: cd: /usr/bin/python2.7: No such file or directory | 23:58 |
| PatrickDickey | yofun: try ls -l python* and pastebin the result. What you *should* see is python -> python2.7 and then python2.7. | 23:58 |
| chro | anyone can point me out a good application for commenting pdfs ? | 23:58 |
| lickalott | I'm saying, that it shows that xorg is installed based on the dpkg, yet it's saying that it's not. | 23:58 |
| joshtekmobile | chro: Google chrome has a decent built in PDF reader. | 23:58 |
| ColdKey | lickalott, KI7MT Can you check this output out... -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6602602/ | 23:58 |
| chro | joshtekmobile, and it allows to add some comments ? | 23:59 |
| ColdKey | I guess it says that it's installed but it's kind-a not :) | 23:59 |
| KI7MT | ColdKey, Indeed, it would appear not, so you can install is, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg .. but I really dont get why it's not already there. | 23:59 |
| yofun | PatrickDickey: They are there.However they seem to be empty. | 23:59 |
| yofun | Not a folder and a empty file. | 23:59 |
| joshtekmobile | chro: I misread sorry | 23:59 |
