| Smashcat | tinox: Have you tried exporting the X server to your local machine over an ssh tunnel? I used to do that with headless HP/UX servers - generally faster than vnc | 00:05 |

| haha | when i open firefox,my machine become slower and slower, who can tell me which browser is better? | 00:05 |
| KI7MT | Pick one :-) | 00:06 |
| KI7MT | !better | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 00:06 |
| tinox | Smashcat, well I actually want to use vnc. We're trying to setup a network where remote employees can RDP to a desktop that looks somewhat familiar to them. Kinda weird | 00:06 |
| lhz | Installed Ubuntu 13.10 from USB stick on a new PC with Win7 already installed. But PC just boots straight into Win7 after successfull install with /dev/sda set as target for boot loader. | 00:06 |
| lhz | I have also tried installing boot loader to same partition as Ubuntu root (/dev/sda2), then use EasyBCD in Win7 to add an entry to the Win7 boot loader for Ubuntu, but that just throws me into grub4dos. | 00:07 |
| tinox | Smashcat, interestingly I did install lubuntu on my local machine to try to replicate the issue, and chromium runs fine. It's only when on the remote server that there is an issue. Maybe a permissions issue with the user? | 00:07 |
| Smashcat | tinox: Ah ok - you can actually do that with exported x servers to thin clients, but whatever floats your boat :) | 00:07 |
| lhz | any hints would be welcome | 00:07 |
| Smashcat | tinox: I'd guess it's permissions too. If it's not creating the directories - but it could be the X server having problems with settings etc on a headless machine | 00:08 |
| Beldar | lhz, the boot goes into the mbr sda if a msdos setup. | 00:08 |
| lhz | Beldar: yeah that is what I normally do, and it usually works, but this time it just boots into Win7 directly, no sign of grub on the mbr. | 00:09 |
| tinox | Smashcat, do you have any suggestions on how I would test that out? I'm pretty new to all of this | 00:09 |
| KI7MT | lhz, sounds like you've done all the right things .. you could try running: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 00:10 |
| niner | UBuntu 13.10 question: I've added 'ForwardX11 yes' to /etc/ssh/ssh_config, I've got putty on my windows set up to tunnel X appropriately (works on Centos/Solaris servers also in my basement).... yet I can't get X applications to open on the Windows workstation upstairs. ( Yes, I'm running XMing ) | 00:10 |
| Beldar | lhz, use this tool JUST the bootinfo summary and podt the url to it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 00:10 |
| Beldar | post* | 00:10 |
| Smashcat | tinox: Have you checked the log from the xserver? | 00:10 |
| lhz | Beldar, KI7MT: will give it a try. PS: The Ubuntu installer didn't detect Win7 as an existing OS either, just listed the NTFS partition. | 00:11 |

| Beldar | lhz, Have you made the recovery disc in W7, and have you imaged/cloned it to an external? | 00:14 |
| Smashcat | tinox: It could be that the system is attempting to use hardware acceleration, which almost certainly isn't available. Try to disable that in the xserver config (can't remember what it's named now - been about 5 years since I used a Linux box with a GUI :) ) | 00:14 |

| lhz | Beldar: no, I have usb stick with bootable win7 on it just in case, but wouldn't hurt to clone the install I guess. | 00:16 |
| Beldar | lhz, Cool the install media is good to have I would clone it just to be covered for any possibility. | 00:17 |
| tinox | Smashcat thanks! | 00:17 |
| Beldar | lhz, with this dual boot as well you have to shut windows down every time to boot ubuntu, no fast hybrid boot, that may be what is causing a no grub read of a boot if you have been. | 00:20 |

| askm_ | it sets HorizSync and VertRefresh to values between 28 - 33 and 43 - 72 respectively | 02:00 |
| askm_ | however | 02:00 |
| * zykotick9 hears the words "optimus" and runs away. hitsujiTMO_ SORRY! | 02:00 | |
| hitsujiTMO_ | :P | 02:00 |
| askm_ | that limits me to a resolution of 640x480 | 02:00 |
| askm_ | haha ok | 02:00 |
| === Guest39950 is now known as tis_himself | ||
| hitsujiTMO_ | askm_: it does that because the gpu isnt directly conected to the display and falls back on your intel gpu with messed up settings. hence why you should not have a xorg.conf when using an optimus card | 02:01 |
| askm_ | alright i will delete that | 02:01 |
| askm_ | so should I still uninstall nvidia drivers using "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current" | 02:02 |
| askm_ | and then reinstall using info from the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual ? | 02:02 |
| hitsujiTMO_ | askm_: first uninstall. then test to see if you get unity-3d working | 02:03 |
| tis_himself | I am running 13.10 - After a recent round of patches, I recently lost the ability to authenticate to my wireless router | 02:04 |
| askm_ | ok | 02:04 |
| hitsujiTMO_ | tis_himself: have you deleted your entry for the router and re added it? | 02:04 |
| askm_ | so now that I uninstalled, reboot? | 02:04 |
| hitsujiTMO_ | askm_: yups | 02:04 |
| ubuntu3838 | Hello, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit and I am having a problem where my screen will freeze randomly, I can still hear everything in the background | 02:05 |
| tis_himself | well no | 02:05 |
| askm_ | alright, be back in a minute or so | 02:05 |
| tis_himself | lemme try that .. | 02:05 |
| Beldar | ubuntu3838, Do you know what swapping is? | 02:05 |
| ubuntu3838 | swapping? | 02:06 |
| ubuntu3838 | not really | 02:06 |
| Beldar | ubuntu3838, You have a swap partition at some point in using the ram it will start to use the swap, this can be a what is going on | 02:06 |
| ubuntu3838 | oh I know what your talking about now | 02:07 |
| askm | ok so i uninstalled, and rebooted | 02:08 |
| askm | no change | 02:08 |
| Beldar | ubuntu3838, generally at around 60% of ram use you can change the swappiness and use htop to see what's using up the memory, just a guess here though. | 02:08 |
| JoshuaP | can anyone help with this? - http://screencloud.net/v/dVt4 | 02:08 |
| toddel123 | Congrats on a great OS, I love Ubuntu and know you guys world really hard on it.:) | 02:09 |

| tis_himself | hitsujiTMO_, deleting the connection didn't help .. whats odd is this: I have two routers ..one has a password and the other is open only allowing access by MAC address | 02:11 |
| tis_himself | I can - am using the one using MAC addreeses but it fails on the password protected one | 02:12 |
| tis_himself | keeps prompting me for a password | 02:12 |
| hitsujiTMO_ | Sonderblade: because you have another application installed that has a dependency on emacs23 | emacs21, so its installign emacs21 to resolv that dependency | 02:13 |
| hitsujiTMO_ | tis_himself: I have that issue with one of my usb cards, but I had to fix it by removing networkmanager and configuring it with wpa_supplicant manually | 02:14 |
| JoshuaP | xangua: thanks | 02:14 |
| JoshuaP | how do i view a list of installed packages? | 02:14 |
| hitsujiTMO_ | joshhua: dokg --get-selections | 02:15 |

| tis_himself | for several weeks .. now no dice | 02:15 |
| JoshuaP | hitsujiTMO_: thanks | 02:15 |
| tis_himself | I suspect a patch .. but not sure | 02:16 |
| Sonderblade | hitsujiTMO_: then how do i know what package it is that has that dependency? | 02:17 |
| Toyraztory | how do I cd to downloads? | 02:17 |
| hitsujiTMO_ | Sonderblade: erm, not quite sure how to follow deps that way. | 02:19 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, what is the problem ? | 02:19 |
| Beldar | Toyraztory, cd ~/Downloads | 02:19 |
| Beldar | or Download what ever the file name is | 02:19 |
| Sonderblade | hitsujiTMO_: i figured it out by trial and error that it was haskell-mode, | 02:21 |
| askm | umm, hitsujuTMO, sorry for repeating, but I rebooted and no change in unity. still using 2d | 02:21 |
| hitsujiTMO_ | askm: hrrm, thinking an issue with the driver then. were you in uniy 2d from day one? | 02:22 |
| askm | yeah | 02:22 |
| tis_himself | varunendra, I have been running 13.10 for about 3 weeks | 02:23 |
| tis_himself | Long time Ubuntu user however .. | 02:23 |
| tis_himself | the wireless has worked fine but suddenly I have a odd problem | 02:24 |

| computerguy901 | so, there are script writers in here | 02:44 |
| bekks | KI7MT: big set? I've done the same, for a bunch of custom applications in one script, including building packages, taring them, release-wise, etc. :) | 02:44 |
| computerguy901 | no Windows guys? | 02:44 |
| bekks | computerguy901: Some, yes. :) | 02:44 |

| computerguy901 | good news! | 02:45 |
| computerguy901 | I am using Ultimate Edition and it is really cool! | 02:45 |
| KI7MT | bekks, there's allot to it, You'd ahve to llok up the WSJTX suite, there several applicaitons, multiple platforms, Debug, Release, Current Release Daily SVN's of each etc. | 02:46 |

| askm | so I do "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-noveau" | 03:03 |
| askm | and install a few dependencies it needed | 03:03 |
| askm | but when I reboot | 03:03 |

| tis_himself | OK varunendra try this one please: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6609184/ | 03:04 |
| askm | so Im like, OK, I ned to google that | 03:04 |
| askm | I google that error | 03:04 |
| askm | and use the solution at | 03:04 |
| askm | http://askubuntu.com/questions/41681/blank-screen-after-installing-nvidia-restricted-driver | 03:04 |
| askm | to do that I first boot into ubuntu by holding "shift" while booting | 03:05 |

| askm | so I hold shift as soon as I select the ubuntu option | 03:06 |
| askm | anyways | 03:06 |

| askm | "Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS [Ubuntu name] tty1" | 03:07 |
| tis_himself | yes | 03:07 |
| tis_himself | its 2WIRE310 | 03:07 |
| askm | "[ubuntu name] login:" | 03:07 |
| askm | and then | 03:07 |
| askm | I googel again | 03:07 |
| askm | *googled | 03:07 |
| Gaston_AR | Sorry for may english...NVIDIA: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 304.88, but this NVDIA driver component has version 304.108 | 03:08 |
| askm | and I found that I had to type "startx" | 03:08 |
| Gaston_AR | I only get a prompt | 03:08 |
| askm | but that gets stuck | 03:08 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, first of all, it is highly recommended to change that router's encryption type to pure WPA2-PSK with AES or CCMP (same things). Currently it is using WPA/WPA2 mixed mode with TKIP which is very inefficient at both speed and security and isn't as well supported on Linux as WPA2 with AES | 03:09 |
| tis_himself | OK - it belongs to Uverse and it's the default | 03:10 |
| Home555 | вв | 03:10 |
| varunendra | So it's not under your control tis_himself ? | 03:11 |
| tis_himself | well ... in theory it is. | 03:11 |
| tis_himself | it's in my basement :) | 03:11 |
| Beldar | askm, Have you tried a higher release live session, 2d was incorporated in later releases? | 03:12 |
| tis_himself | and of course it works with the windows 8 side of this laptop | 03:13 |
| askm | i havent tried that yet | 03:13 |
| Gaston_AR | Anybody is having problem with Nvidia in 12.0.4.3 ? (sorry for my poor english) | 03:13 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, it was recommended to optimise the transmission, although we should be able to do without that 'optimisation'. | 03:13 |
| askm | is there a way for me to install a new higher version | 03:13 |
| askm | using usb boot? | 03:13 |
| Beldar | askm, I would download a 13.10 and check it. | 03:13 |
| askm | but install it on top of this version | 03:13 |
| askm | like I dont want to partition even more now | 03:13 |
| Beldar | askm, usb yes, dual boot it or install, I would start with seeing if it runs. | 03:14 |
| askm | i dont have much of personal files so that shouldnt be a problem | 03:14 |
| askm | ok Beldar. thanks | 03:14 |
| askm | one more question | 03:14 |
| askm | since my laptop uses UEFI to boot | 03:14 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, on the driver side, please try this - "sudo modprobe -rv rtl8188ee" ..... then ..... "sudo modprobe -v rtl8188ee fwlps=0" | 03:14 |
| askm | will I have to do any additional steps to make sure that stays the same? | 03:15 |
| Gaston_AR | varunendra can you help me please? | 03:15 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, don't reboot after the above command as the change is temporary and will be lost at next boot. If it helps, it can be made permanent. | 03:15 |
| Beldar | askm, I'm not real up on uefi installs but there is the wiki and an excellent thread on uefi installs on the ubuntu forums and great support there on these dual boot types. | 03:16 |
| varunendra | Gaston_AR, I don't know much about graphics issues, other than suggesting the "nomodeset" option to everyone | 03:16 |
| tim` | installing cpufreqd on the latest 13.10 results in a segfault | 03:17 |
| tim` | x86_64 | 03:18 |
| tis_himself | varunendra, nope | 03:18 |
| tis_himself | same response | 03:19 |
| askm | @Beldar, before I do a 13.10, is there any way for me to revert al those changes so I can login to ubuntu graphical interface and not into tty1? | 03:19 |
| varunendra | Gaston_AR, have you read this wiki : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?? May get you going | 03:19 |
| varunendra | !bootoptions | Gaston_AR besides, see the available boot options | 03:20 |
| ubottu | Gaston_AR besides, see the available boot options: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 03:20 |
| Beldar | askm, I have not followed the circumstances fully, my idea is just to see if the live session works, if it does then the install should if tweaked correctly, theoretically. | 03:20 |
| Beldar | askm, And 14.04 is 4 months from release the next LTS. | 03:21 |
| askm | the steps I took on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/21kBrVR4 | 03:23 |
| Beldar | askm, YOU also might try the ubuntu forums with the problem at hand many more users there. | 03:23 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, another parameter you may try is "swenc" with the same driver - "sudo modprobe -rv rtl8188ee" .... then .... "sudo modprobe -v rtl8188ee swenc=Y" | 03:23 |
| askm | @Beldar thanks for those resources! I will definitely post on the forums if I don't get help here. | 03:24 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, you can use that parameter along with the previously tried parameter (fwlps). Use value 'Y' for "swenc" and 'N' for "fwlps" | 03:24 |
| quint | anybody know where i'd get an init script that works for deluged only? the one from deluge-torrent.org | 03:24 |
| Beldar | askm, All my computers have had intel graphics, and are old enough to work out if the box, so nvidia, optimus or any graphic fixes are out if my an real knowledge range. | 03:24 |
| Beldar | any* | 03:25 |
| quint | the one from deluge-torrent.org requires deluge-web ** | 03:25 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, do you also have any thread at ubuntuforums.org? I'm interested in solving this, but may have to leave the channel anytime now. | 03:25 |
| askm | alright | 03:25 |
| Beldar | askm, I suspect what you have is fixable with the right help, it may be that this channel just does not have it at the moment, the forums are an excellent help place, if you can seperate the wheat from the chaffe like you would here. | 03:26 |
| askm | do u know what packages I would have to install to get Xserver and gnome running? I think I have uninstalled everything nvidia related | 03:26 |
| Beldar | askm, not really I assume the first card is intel, or radeon and should have worked in the beginning, where as it has never worked I believe. | 03:27 |
| Beldar | askm,This 12.04.3? | 03:28 |
| askm | yes | 03:28 |
| tis_himself | no I haven't got one | 03:28 |

| Beldar | askm, All 12.04 is lts 12.04.1 to 12.04.3 do you know the difference? | 03:29 |
| askm | how do I check that? | 03:29 |
| Beldar | askm, what kernel is being used? | 03:29 |
| Beldar | askm, uname -a will tell you | 03:30 |
| askm | 3.8.0-34-generic | 03:30 |
| Beldar | askm, that is 12.04.3 the latest that is good. | 03:30 |
| askm | ok good | 03:30 |
| askm | will it help if I tell you the exact order of packages installed/uninstalled? | 03:31 |
| cem_ | is there any channel for ubuntu studio? | 03:31 |

| varunendra | tis_himself, I am very irregular at IRC yet. Ubuntu Forums is where I am more consistent (with same user ID). And you'll get more helpers, much better than me there. (http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php) | 03:42 |
| Beldar | varunendra, people miss how big and full of geeks that forum is. | 03:43 |
| Beldar | not the instant release of irc though | 03:44 |
| varunendra | Beldar, Thanks to askubuntu I guess ;) | 03:44 |
| Beldar | yeah maybe so both have good fix data I try to send people there and generally get a "I don't like waiting" response. | 03:44 |
| Beldar | than watch them destroy there install here. | 03:45 |
| varunendra | lol ! That's a pity, but so true | 03:46 |
| Beldar | especially with uefi dualboots | 03:46 |
| Beldar | no backups no recovery discs climbing with no tie offs | 03:47 |

| Soundtoxin | How do I get to the equivalent to sources.list for PPAs? I'm gonna install something from a PPA but I have to enable universe and multiverse first. | 03:54 |
| Beldar | Soundtoxin, universe and multiverse are in the sources.list ppa's are generally stored in sources.list.d if loaded with ppa load. | 03:55 |
| Beldar | Soundtoxin, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list for read and write to open those, then run a update | 03:57 |
| teenox | If anyone's up for a big challenge, I'm banging my head trying to get Chromium to work on a remote desktop environment. Who wants to give fixing this a shot? | 03:58 |
| Beldar | teenox, Is it bugs the problem? | 03:59 |
| Beldar | not that* | 03:59 |
| teenox | Beldar, not entirely sure. I put a new install of lubuntu on a new server. Lubuntu-desktop comes packaged with Chromium and won't launch. | 04:00 |
| teenox | Beldar, here's the specifics... http://askubuntu.com/questions/393517/lubuntu-why-wont-chromium-to-run | 04:00 |
| pfifo | teenox: i could have sworn there was a way to tell chromium where to go for the profile | 04:01 |

| teenox | pfifo, I haven't figured out how. That may be the issue, but haven't been able to get anyone to replicate the problem yet. | 04:02 |
| pfifo | teenox: fisrt option listed on the manpage http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/chromium-browser.1.html | 04:02 |
| Beldar | teenox, Is there a screen for anything is my question? | 04:03 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, subscribed the thread. I'll reply as soon as I have time to look deeper into this. In the meanwhile, let's hope someone better picks up your thread :) | 04:04 |
| teenox | pfifo, trying that now, thanks | 04:04 |
| tis_himself | OK thanks for your help .. maybe I can return the favor sometime. | 04:04 |
| varunendra | tis_himself, no problem at all :) | 04:04 |
| tis_himself | g-nite | 04:05 |
| teenox | Beldar, no screen. But if I run from terminal I get Xlib extension “RANDR” missing on display ":1" | 04:05 |
| teenox | Beldar, however I've been told that this is not actually the problem. there's something else | 04:05 |
| PebkacJones | bonjour | 04:05 |
| PebkacJones | hola | 04:05 |
| pfifo | teenox: why dont you just run chromium over ssh? why all the fuss with vnc? | 04:06 |
| Beldar | teenox, All this is outside my knowledge area, however the missing randr stands out to me, I assume you need some sort of basic X to get a gui if thats what you are looking for with chromium. | 04:06 |
| Soundtoxin | Beldar: I don't think your answer helps, actually. sources.list.d is empty for me. I'm following this guide, look at "Basic setup; step 2" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 04:06 |
| Soundtoxin | also my sources.list doesn't appear to list bumblebee or nvidia related stuff | 04:07 |
| Beldar | Soundtoxin, Your question made no sense I did my best with it. | 04:07 |
| teenox | pfifo, it's a weird setup, but need employees to vnc and use chromium. they wouldn't have a clue about ssh | 04:07 |
| Soundtoxin | Beldar: What part didn't make sense? I needed to do something you'd usually do in sources.list but in a place that lists PPAs, which aren't listed in my sources.list | 04:07 |
| Beldar | Soundtoxin, If you loaded another repo ppa or any other correctly they would be in either place. | 04:07 |
| pfifo | teenox: when you on your vnc, and you open a terminal, what is the output of "echo $DISPLAY" | 04:08 |
| Beldar | Soundtoxin, I you do a ppa install as shown on the ppa's web pages it would be in sources.list.d | 04:08 |
| Soundtoxin | Beldar: If you go to the page I linked, I have followed step 1 to add the PPA and I do not see Bumblebee or Nvidia in my sources.list | 04:08 |
| teenox | pfifo, :1 | 04:09 |
| pfifo | teenox: are you sure you have xlib installed? | 04:09 |
| Beldar | Soundtoxin, are you sure you are looking in sources.list.d | 04:09 |
| Beldar | these are two different places | 04:10 |
| teenox | pfifo, no... not really sure. I just did apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 04:10 |
| pfifo | teenox: yeah that is ok | 04:10 |
| Soundtoxin | Beldar: sources.list.d was either empty or didn't exist before I tried to open it in nano. I just ran the PPA install command again and it says to reboot to show changes, I will try that and come back if it doesn't work | 04:10 |
| Beldar | teenox, /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 04:10 |
| Beldar | Soundtoxin, sources.list.d is a file | 04:11 |
| pfifo | teenox: can you use chromium over ssh? 'ssh user1@1.2.3.4 -XC "chromium-browser"' | 04:11 |
| Soundtoxin | Beldar: I did sudo nano /etc/ept/sources.list.d | 04:11 |
| Soundtoxin | *apt | 04:11 |
| teenox | pfifo, one moment. I tried that and seemed to freeze putty. Guess i need to start an ssh session first? | 04:12 |
| pfifo | teenox: i dont know if putty can handle X forwarding | 04:13 |
| teenox | Beldar, I got "No such file or directory" | 04:13 |
| teenox | Beldar, "-bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d: Is a directory" | 04:13 |
| Beldar | teenox, this command will show whats in both. grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} | 04:14 |
| teenox | Beldar, ok that listed a whole bunch of stuff. What should I look for? | 04:15 |
| Beldar | teenox, do you have a desktop? | 04:15 |
| teenox | Beldar, my local pc? I'm on windows 7 | 04:15 |

| Beldar | teenox, so this is a remote access? | 04:16 |

| === Cajunfiend is now known as Supermetalfreak | ||
| teenox | pfifo, yes... except when I try to run the --user-data-dir I get something else. One moment | 04:17 |
| Beldar | teenox, I'm not familiar with that access, however I told exactly where the ppa's are, if you ran the command to load it from that link ten I was correct, you will have to figure out the access, or get it from another helper. | 04:18 |
| Beldar | then* | 04:19 |

| Beldar | trying to help two people and eat an apple is to much for me hehe | 04:21 |
| teenox | pfifo, still getting same results from chromium. It flashes open for a second as just one big purple box (can't even tell its chromium) and then crashes | 04:22 |
| pfifo | teenox: change your gtk theme and try again | 04:25 |
| teenox | pfifo, would that be the theme options in openbox configuration? | 04:27 |
| pfifo | teenox: yeah | 04:27 |
| teenox | pfifo, ok I tried a bunch of different themes and nothing worked. Although all the theme variations did was change window colors | 04:28 |
| teenox | pfifo, you want to try to ssh and see? | 04:29 |
| teenox | pfifo, pretty desperate at this point ha | 04:29 |
| pfifo | teenox: honestly I dont know what the problem is. if I did I might be able to fix it, but im about to sleep so cant guide you through all the hundreds of troubleshooting routes | 04:30 |
| teenox | pfifo, completely understood | 04:30 |
| pfifo | teenox: try firefox | 04:30 |
| teenox | pfifo, that's the weird thing. firefox works just fine. Unfortunately I have to use chromium or chrome for this project | 04:30 |
| teenox | pfifo, go figure! | 04:31 |
| pfifo | teenox: maybe build chromium from source | 04:31 |
| teenox | pfifo, by the way when I changed the chromium user-data-dir it created all the necessary folders and files when I tried to launch chromium. Just still having trouble running | 04:31 |
| teenox | pfifo, i was thinking that should resolve according to this, but not the case: http://askubuntu.com/questions/220504/how-to-make-chromium-browser-start-on-vnc-display | 04:32 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: did you try launch it from terminal, maybe shows usefull errors? | 04:33 |
| pfifo | teenox: I would (if this was my problem) run chromium in gdb and find out exactly where its crashing, the errors its giving you are useless. | 04:33 |
| KI7MT | teenox, I many have missed this earlier, but what OS are you running on the box your trying to connect to the UB server with? | 04:33 |

| Beldar | marz, no longer indicates you did, in what context? | 04:38 |
| DynamicFail | what besides iptables could stop traffic in ubuntu | 04:38 |
| JohnnyL | marz: I hope I can make this more simple for you. But is your laptop plugged into the outlet on the wall while your using the network? | 04:38 |
| DynamicFail | are tehre any acl's or anything? | 04:38 |
| marz | JohnnyL: Yes | 04:39 |
| marz | Beldar: It can still see my wireless network, but when connecting to it, it keeps on processing | 04:39 |
| lotuspsychje | DynamicFail: your router, ufw (iptables) | 04:39 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje cool, appreciate it | 04:39 |
| JohnnyL | marz: i have had similiar problems. try updating your configuration. if I plug it in it seems to work better. | 04:39 |
| marz | JohnnyL: I already update my system the "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" command | 04:40 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: how did you install chromium? | 04:40 |
| marz | I even restarted my computer | 04:40 |
| trism | JohnnyL: libglib2.0-dev if you're compiling | 04:40 |
| JohnnyL | marc: i am running 13.04. You should get that! | 04:40 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje it's packaged in lubuntu, which I installed with apt-get install lubuntu-dekstop | 04:40 |
| Beldar | marz, You said "no longer" this seems to mean it was working, in what context was it working, another release before an update...etc. | 04:41 |
| JohnnyL | trism : perfect thank you! | 04:41 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje also tried other environments, in whichcase I did apt-get install chromium-browser | 04:41 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: maybe test the on-web version install of google chrome(just to test)? | 04:41 |
| marz | Beldar: It was working perfectly last night, when I woke up and used the laptop, it no longer can connect to my Wireless Network | 04:41 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje, oh yeah I've done that as well | 04:42 |
| marz | Beldar: Other devices are connecting to my wireless network so I'm sure it is not the problem with the wireless router | 04:42 |
| Beldar | marz, post the wifi hardware, any updates or other changes that might be part of this change? | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: then something else is going on, this box is restricted in any way perhaps? | 04:42 |
| marz | Beldar: I'm sorry but I'm a newbie to ubuntu. How do I post the WiFi hardware? | 04:43 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje nope, shouldn't be. I deploy VPS servers with Ubuntu 12.04 64 | 04:44 |
| Beldar | marz, run lspci in the terminal and lok for it or pastebin all that info. | 04:44 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: very odd..not sure what it could be | 04:44 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje, tell me about it! Been trying to figure this out for about 30 hours lol | 04:45 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje makes no sense at all | 04:45 |
| marz | Beldar: It's Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 04:45 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: you have an nvidia card? | 04:46 |

| teenox | lotuspsychje on my local windows machine? yes | 04:46 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje what's strange is I can get chromium to work when I install lubuntu on VirtualBox on my local machine. Once I try to install on the server and VNC it doesn't work | 04:47 |
| Beldar | marz, Make sure any wifi switch is not accidentally off as well, it happens. | 04:47 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: what server version are you trying to install it to? | 04:48 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit | 04:48 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know your issue? | 04:49 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: but server version isnt GUI right, so where do you run chromium? | 04:50 |

| ianorlin | hello | 04:52 |

| dpecka | i need to know one think .. i'm not ubuntu user and i don't have ubuntu .. comes ubuntu by default with legacy grub infrastructure ? i mean is there by default /boot/grub directory and grub-install script from grub-0.97.xx package ? | 04:54 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: yes i have readed it, that first error shows xrandr, you got 2 monitors or something? | 04:54 |

| lotuspsychje | teenox: they have more experience with this | 04:56 |
| dpecka | Beldar: writing some script which makes some block device bootable using legacy grub | 04:57 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje thanks for all the help. Is there an irc channel for those guys? | 04:57 |
| lotuspsychje | teenox: #ubuntu-server | 04:57 |
| dpecka | Beldar: for example both fedora and suse comes with both grub installed by default but just with grub2 active and default bootloader | 04:57 |
| teenox | lotuspsychje thanks! | 04:57 |
| Beldar | dpecka, how is this ubuntu related? | 04:58 |
| dpecka | Beldar: so for compatibility reasons you have still installed grub 0.97 in there | 04:58 |
| dpecka | Beldar: my script should work also on ubuntu | 04:58 |
| Beldar | dpecka, should work in ubuntu is not really a legit relevance is all this is ubuntu support for ubuntu users is all I would think grub legacy is available in most linux repos ar as a download somewhere, not sure how I can help is all. | 04:59 |
| dpecka | hmm | 05:01 |
| Beldar | dpecka, basically just trying to get to a gist of how we can help is all. | 05:02 |
| dpecka | okay, i can include grub1 legacy files into my package\ | 05:03 |
| Beldar | dpecka, There is a grub channel but but even they only support grub 2 is all. | 05:04 |

| FireStorms | Hey, I want to use the shell more often, but one of the things stopping me is that I have not got a photographic memory to memorise commands. Other than saving .rc files, is there anyway to bookmark commands? I am aware of bash history using the arrow keys, but it's not a great way to bookmark cmds. | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | FireStorms: you can use tab completing and man pages | 05:27 |
| Cheekio | You can also use ctrl-R | 05:27 |
| Cheekio | that's a fuzzy search for commands | 05:27 |
| Cheekio | pretty much my best friend these days | 05:27 |
| Cheekio | That and tab-complete | 05:28 |
| Cheekio | a-d-d-tab-tab-tab | 05:28 |
| Cheekio | haha, beaten | 05:29 |
| zykotick9 | FireStorms: look into using alias perhaps. learning/memorizing the commands is best, takes some time/practise | 05:30 |
| FireStorms | I know of tab it's good i use it a lot, but it's still slow.

| KI7MT | jakesahir, with the Ubuntu Software Center or in a terminal: sudo apt-get do-release-upgrade | 06:18 |
| GZA-Genius | jakesahir: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:19 |
| GZA-Genius | jakesahir: then: sudo update-manager -d | 06:19 |
| KI7MT | GZA-Genius, dist-upgrade stays within the current release. | 06:19 |

| GZA-Genius | KI7MT: nope tnx though. I have the kernel I want to use and can install it no problem. But i would like to swap the stock kernel in the 13.10 server64 iso so I can use the liveCD when needed and if any reinstalls are needed makes my life much easier. | 06:24 |
| === jack is now known as Guest64727 | ||
| aproxy | I totally expected that to happen | 06:25 |
| GZA-Genius | What I had to do was install 13.04 server, setup, install new kernel remove others, then upgrade to 13.10. I hate doing dist upgrades | 06:25 |
| aproxy | Beldar, I'm running Elementary OS .2 which is built on 12.04 | 06:26 |
| GZA-Genius | even if everything goes fine I much rather do clean installs | 06:26 |
| aproxy | I figure you might want to know that | 06:26 |
| Beldar | aproxy, not supported here is all. | 06:26 |
| GZA-Genius | lol | 06:26 |
| KI7MT | GZA-Genius, I'm not following what your saying, you want a custom kernel but keep the ability to use the LiveCD as well ? | 06:26 |
| aproxy | Translation: go to #elementary? | 06:26 |
| aproxy | I assume? | 06:26 |
| JohnnyL | Why isn't my compile process recognizing that my 'alsa' is installed? | 06:27 |
| Beldar | aproxy, yeah that appears to be their channel. | 06:28 |
| aproxy | I've asked there before, noone knew. Just asked again, in case someone joined in the past week that knows what to do | 06:28 |
| aproxy | As you might imagine, I'd *love* to be able to install something required by just about every program I try to install :P | 06:29 |
| Beldar | aproxy, looks pretty messed up a bit broken just out of our channels rules to help is all. You might consider a ubuntu install for wider and more available support. | 06:31 |
| GZA-Genius | KI7MT: I already have a custom kernel that I have to use due to hardware (RAID Controller, and other little things). So I want to take the kernel I built and inject it into 13.10 server amd64 LiveCD iso. So I can use the Live CD and have it boot my kernel when I do. | 06:31 |
| aproxy | I don't suppose there's a way to update apt? | 06:31 |
| aproxy | I'm considering just going to pure ubuntu however it'd be the 5th time I've changed OSes on this laptop and I'm pretty sick of it | 06:32 |
| Beldar | aproxy, HOw much do you know about linux already? | 06:33 |
| aproxy | Enough to run a remote VPS and do day to day things. I've not messed with compiling, kernels, or all that stuff | 06:34 |
| KI7MT | GZA-Genius, I'd highly recommend building the kernel on you the system, enabling the Harware / Modules / Drivers with menuconfig need and installing normally. Maybe other know, but I don't know of a way to have the LiVCD install a kernel from another source. | 06:34 |
| Beldar | aproxy, that does not really mean much, from the link I see a large amount of broken packages and held packages, while you are trying to install, is why I ask. | 06:35 |
| aproxy | There's a few things I've tried to install, but got this error a few times | 06:35 |
| aproxy | I have added a couple PPAs for weechat and some other things. Big deal, or no? | 06:36 |
| GZA-Genius | KI7MT: Yea thats what I have been doing, but then I run into an issue when I need to boot from LiveCD in recovery or uh oh situations. | 06:37 |
| aproxy | I can paste my sources.list if you would like | 06:37 |
| Beldar | aproxy, ppa's are generally not needed unless that is the only option, one wants to keep the apt cleaned up is all for ease of use | 06:37 |
| GZA-Genius | KI7MT: Tnx for the help | 06:37 |
| aproxy | The install instructions for the applications didn't list another way of going about it besides compiling, of course, I couldn't install libc so that's out of the question :/ | 06:37 |
| GZA-Genius | KI7MT: Enjoy the holidays, tnx again! | 06:38 |

| Gr1m | geany 1.23 seems to be creating new copies of a file when it saves | 07:04 |
| glitsj16 | Gr1m: you should be able to turn off that behavior in the preferences | 07:09 |
| Gr1m | glitsj16: But when I close the files the extra files seem to disappear is this normal ? | 07:09 |
| aproxy | yes | 07:10 |
| aproxy | they are tmp | 07:10 |
| aproxy | Maybe even backups. | 07:10 |
| glitsj16 | Gr1m: most file editors have that yes, i think it is in the preferences under 'files', open new files from commandline or something similar | 07:11 |
| KI7MT | Gr1m, a quick Google says, you need the Save Actions Plug-In installed and Auto Save enabled, so "disabling auto save" should sort that out. | 07:13 |
| Gr1m | KI7MT: It happens even when I save manually | 07:14 |
| KI7MT | Gr1m, I not used Geany in a very long time, but a .tmp or whatever, if you have auto save enabled seems to be a reasonable action. | 07:16 |
| Gr1m | KI7MT: They are not .tmp . If the file is foo.py is creates n number of foo.py for n number of saves and deletes all of em after I close geany | 07:17 |
| KI7MT | If you dont want the temp backup up files to happen, disable the auto save / backup .. Gedit does the same thing. | 07:17 |
| john2x_ | hello.. is my video card busted if I can't see it in `lspci -v`? | 07:17 |

| glitsj16 | john2x_: i'm with aproxy, not a good sign, what does lshw -class display say about it? | 07:21 |
| john2x_ | glitsj16: yeah it's only showing the intel integrated graphics, which is what I'm using now.. | 07:23 |
| john2x_ | I don't understand, it was working fine yesterday.. | 07:23 |
| john2x_ | it's like it's not connected at all.. | 07:24 |

| ubottu | Treezus: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client.

| shafox | KI7MT, lets say I installed the program called "x", it is in the $home/src dir and its also in the $home/.bashrc file path. but If i want to use that "x" with root privilege like "sudo x", then it wont read the $home/.bashrc file it will read the root's .bashrc file. so what are other file modification has to be changed to use that program with sudo ? | 08:25 |
| KI7MT | shafox, $HOME/src is where you source files are, then you do ./configures .. .. .. make .. sudo checkinstall which created the .deb and installs to the system tree or wehreever ./configure specified it to go. | 08:27 |
| shafox | KI7MT, i dont need to specify any other optional value as in --prefix or something with sudo checkinstall ? | 08:27 |
| KI7MT | shafox, That's entirely up to the application your compiling, some apps allow custom options others dont. Try ./configure --help .. that usually lists the config options. | 08:29 |
| atreus_ | xubuntu | 08:31 |
| atreus_ | ohp sorry, I have a questions about xfce can anyone help me out? | 08:31 |
| shafox | KI7MT, lets say for python 3.3.3 they have the option for --prefix , but should I use it then where should i point to ? | 08:31 |
| KI7MT | shafox, Once you have done ./configure and make, sudo checkinstall merely installs the the binaries, libs, etc according to the ./config options .. and it keeps track of them so you can remove them with checkinstall | 08:31 |
| dv- | atreus_: don't ask to ask, just ask | 08:32 |
| atreus_ | the separators in the xfce4 right click menus are quite large and obnoxious, how can one make them invisible? | 08:32 |
| KI7MT | shafox, You need to read the python-3.3.3 README and INSTALL instructions, that will tell you how it's to be installed. | 08:33 |
| Akiva-Mobile | I am trying to speed up team viewer on a remote computer. is there a way I can disable compositing on an ubuntu 13.10 machine? | 08:33 |
| KI7MT | shafox, checkinstall is only a tool to manage the final step. | 08:33 |
| atreus_ | on my fedora machine, the separators disappear when apply the same theme, can anyone help me out? | 08:33 |
| aproxy | fedora? | 08:34 |
| aproxy | uhhhh nope | 08:34 |
| atreus_ | not help with fedora, I'm just providing evidence that the theme is not at fault | 08:34 |
| aproxy | aaaaah | 08:34 |
| KI7MT | shafox, if pthon3 is what your interested in, there's many documents that show how to install it in Ubuntu, alongside python2.7x without collisions. | 08:34 |
| ionwind | hi there | 08:35 |
| shafox | KI7MT, yeah i have installed it. just trying to know where should I point the --prefix | 08:35 |
| === dino82 is now known as zz_dino82 | ||
| KI7MT | shafox, most of the time, a shebang change is all that's needed #/usr/env pythpn3 v.v /python to use py3 | 08:36 |
| ionwind | i would like to know how to install doble panel in the nautilus | 08:36 |
| ionwind | before was just press f3 | 08:36 |
| Romance | shafox: why dont just apt-get install python3 | 08:36 |
| ionwind | ubuntu 13.10 | 08:36 |
| KI7MT | Romance, +1 | 08:37 |
| shafox | Romance, that will replace system version no ? | 08:37 |
| ionwind | pyton3?? | 08:37 |
| Romance | shafox: no, like KI7MT says, a shebang will choose either you want default python (2.7) or python3 | 08:37 |
| shafox | and also i just said python3 as merely for an example . | 08:37 |
| shafox | i want to know while configuring from source what --prefix should i use . | 08:38 |
| Romance | shafox: anywhere you want but you have to /path/to/that/prefix/python3 to call it | 08:39 |
| KI7MT | shafox, If that's all your after, Ubuntu packages python3 in such a way that they can co-exist, just sudo apt-get isntall python3 and change the shebang in your scripts than need python3 | 08:39 |
| shafox | Romance, ok. what about sudoing it ? again i have to use the full path while sudo program name ? | 08:39 |
| shafox | KI7MT, thats not the one i am after, i am just stated as an example cause it provides a --prefix option while configuring . | 08:40 |
| Romance | shafox: sure because since you want to pick where to install it , you have to, unless you put it on default location /usr/bin, then you can call it just by name | 08:40 |
| KI7MT | for python2 scripts. #/usr/bin/env python ... python3 scripts #/usr/bin/env python3 | 08:40 |
| KI7MT | shafox, :-) sri .. python is probably the easiest one .. what are you after then ? | 08:41 |
| shafox | KI7MT, i was after vim new, couchdb new. elasticsearch, redis-server like this ... | 08:42 |
| shafox | vim installation was fine but the path is not correct. | 08:42 |
| shafox | and so is elasticsearch | 08:42 |
| KI7MT | shafox, Oh we went over this the other night, use the standard ./configure no special prefix, and use [ sudu -E su ] to run VIM, that will preserve the users normal $PATH vars | 08:43 |
| Romance | you have to read the README if you want to compile it from source, but easiest way is by apt-get | 08:43 |
| shafox | KI7MT, i know we went over it, i am looking for alternatives . | 08:44 |
| shafox | hence asked. | 08:44 |
| KI7MT | shafox, and using checkinstall will make it a 2 second install / uninstall if you need to. | 08:45 |
| shafox | KI7MT, going with that. | 08:45 |
| KI7MT | shafox, that also allows you to play with any numebr of ./configure --prefix=/combinations, and remove them if they are not to your liking. | 08:46 |
| shafox | okies. | 08:46 |

| loostro | hi.. I uninstalled apache2 (with --purge), but it didn't remove my files in /etc/apache2, so I removed them manually | 09:24 |
| loostro | then i did apt-get install apache2 to get a fresh install... but nothing is in /etc/apache2 | 09:24 |
| loostro | i did whereis apache2 and i have one in /usr/lib and one in /usr/share.. but when i look inside of those, they don't look like apache2 files | 09:25 |
| KI7MT | washedout, probably your easiest option is Unetbootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 09:25 |
| washedout | bekks: yes I know, major brain fart. | 09:25 |
| loostro | i mean.. there is no apache2.conf, sites-avaliable dir, ports.conf.. etc | 09:25 |
| bekks | loostro: Uninstall apache2 again using apt-get purge apache2, and install it again. | 09:25 |
| washedout | thank you | 09:26 |
| loostro | bekks, thats what i did 3 times already, both via command line and synaptic | 09:26 |
| bekks | loostro: did you uninstall or did you purge? | 09:26 |
| loostro | i did sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 (CLI) | 09:27 |
| loostro | and "uninstall completely" when via synaptic | 09:27 |
| lotuspsychje | is it possible to switch from non-lts to lts version upgrade? | 09:31 |
| ObrienDave | i sure hope so *tapping foot, waiting on LTS* | 09:31 |
| Tex_Nick | lol | 09:32 |
| ObrienDave | tired of upgrading every 6 months. *needs STABILITY* | 09:33 |
| KI7MT | 12.04 to 14.04 .. easy anything esle roll the dice :-) | 09:33 |

| lotuspsychje | ObrienDave: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/ubuntu-14-04-alpha-1-released | 09:34 |
| Tex_Nick | 13.10 has been a bit kludgy here ... not too bad though | 09:34 |
| ObrienDave | already have my "new releases" ste to LTS only ;) | 09:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Tex_Nick: i skipped 13.10 and stay on 13.04 rocksolid for now :p | 09:34 |
| ObrienDave | *set | 09:34 |
| loostro | bekks do you think upgradeing to 12.10 => 13.04 will help? | 09:34 |
| KI7MT | Tex_Nick, It's an intermediate release .. all of them are thrashing out the next LTS. | 09:34 |
| bekks | loostro: No. | 09:35 |
| Calinou | ObrienDave, it depends of your definition of "stability" | 09:35 |
| Calinou | non-LTS versions are NOT BROKEN, and are thus STABLE in the definition of "not broken" | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | ObrienDave: 13.04 was very stable for me, never had 1 issue on it | 09:35 |
| Calinou | they are, however, more changing than the LTS | 09:35 |
| Tex_Nick | lotuspsychje: 13.04 was same here rock solid | 09:35 |
| loostro | ok this is weird.. when i do sudo apt-get install apache2 i see 3 steps only happening: download, unpack, configure | 09:35 |
| Calinou | 13.10 fine here, but there's a power management bug since always on xubuntu... the settings on the power management menu are not used | 09:35 |
| Tex_Nick | KI7MT: yes sir i understand that ;) | 09:35 |
| Calinou | lotuspsychje, you'll be unsupported soon, in 1 month | 09:36 |
| loostro | no promt that "package succesfully installed" or anything like that | 09:36 |
| ObrienDave | LOL just a tired, cranky, old fart, blowing off steam. *NEVER take me too seriously* | 09:36 |
| Calinou | you are not supposed to stay on the non-latest non-LTS | 09:36 |
| loostro | then i check whereis apache2 -> no results | 09:36 |
| Calinou | ObrienDave, smoking kills | 09:36 |
| lotuspsychje | Calinou: i know, ill wait an early 14.04 lts, to help sorting bugs out | 09:36 |
| KI7MT | Calinou, ya can't really, they dont support them long enough :-) | 09:37 |
| * ObrienDave NOT smoking, STEAMING. *there is a difference* ;P | 09:37 | |
| Calinou | they do, they don't have time to waste supporting old versions | 09:37 |
| Calinou | it's not hard to do "sudo do-release-upgrade" every 6 months and wait 1-2 hours | 09:37 |
| Calinou | (you can do other things during that) | 09:37 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 09:37 |
| ObrienDave | !tmi | 09:38 |
| ubottu | Um thanks... We *really* did not need to know that... | 09:38 |
| ObrienDave | LOL | 09:38 |
| KI7MT | There's no point really, sending the fixes upstream to the LTS, makes good sense to me. | 09:38 |
| Calinou | say that to the people who claim to have sex here | 09:38 |
| Calinou | not to me | 09:38 |
| loostro | find / -name apache2* -> only results in /usr/share/doc.. is this apt-get broken? | 09:38 |
| lotuspsychje | KI7MT: so its best to install lts clean right? | 09:40 |
| KI7MT | The problem is, the general public, those not used to the Ubuntu way, thing every release is supposed to be like an LTS, and that's simply not the case. | 09:40 |
| Tex_Nick | loostro: i'll probably get accused of a lame response here ... but have you used Synaptic to look @ Apache | 09:41 |
| loostro | Tex_Nick, im not sure what you mean | 09:41 |
| KI7MT | lotuspsychje, I test release upgrades, but on any machine I use in production, I do a fresh LTS install, but that's just how I do it, other may not. | 09:41 |
| lotuspsychje | KI7MT: ok tnx | 09:42 |
| loostro | after apt-get install apache2 Synaptic sais i have apache2 installed | 09:42 |
| loostro | also another apt-get install apache2 returns "package already installed" | 09:42 |
| loostro | but! sudo service apache2 status returns "requested a non existant service" | 09:42 |
| loostro | and find / -name apache2* returns only some doc entries in /usr/share/doc and the man page file | 09:43 |
| ramses69 | giorno | 09:44 |
| loostro | so the package is not installed.. but apt-get/synaptic think it is.. what is wrong? | 09:44 |
| KI7MT | loostro, is this a Server install or a Desktop install and you added Apache? | 09:44 |

| loostro | it was originally 12.04, but recently i upgraded to 12.10 | 09:45 |
| Tex_Nick | loostro: in the event you don't get an answer in this channel ... you might try #httpd | 09:47 |
| loostro | well... this seems like apt-get issue, not apache2 ? | 09:48 |
| KI7MT | loostro, #ubuntu-server is a goo resource as well. | 09:48 |
| KI7MT | good | 09:48 |
| bekks | loostro: seems like the user deleted files which apt still marked as installed. | 09:48 |
| lotuspsychje | loostro: or #httpd | 09:48 |
| KI7MT | I've never ran apache on a desk top install, always a server install, but this his problem really isn't making any sense. | 09:50 |
| lotuspsychje | zeorin: is this a kind of tablet? | 09:50 |
| Tex_Nick | bekks: would synaptic provide a better interface for loostro to have a look at what's happening there ? | 09:51 |
| bekks | Tex_Nick: No. | 09:51 |
| loostro | bekks: is there a way to "flush" apt cache? to force it to check for apache2? | 09:51 |
| bekks | loostro: thats not how it works. | 09:52 |
| loostro | or can i do that somewhere manually? | 09:52 |
| KI7MT | Well if it's a broken package .. autoclean / clean may, but that's a long shot. | 09:53 |
| bekks | loostro: pastebin "dpkg -l|grep apache" please, along with "cat /etc/issue". | 09:57 |

| Tex_Nick | loostro: out of curosity, what distro are you using | 10:02 |
| loostro | i was useing 12.04 but recently i used upgrade manager to update to 12.10 | 10:02 |
| zeorin | sorry, my Xchat crached. Yes it is a type of tablet | 10:03 |
| loostro | bekks, http://pastebin.com/Uh53C3Aa | 10:03 |
| lotuspsychje | zeorin: and you want an ubuntu with touch support on it? | 10:04 |
| bekks | loostro: And where's "cat /etc/issue"? | 10:04 |
| zeorin | I have an ubuntu with touch support on it | 10:04 |
| Tex_Nick | ok sir i had a thought ... it wouldn't affect 12.xx though | 10:04 |
| loostro | cat /etc/issue: Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l | 10:04 |
| zeorin | but it is not using the nvidia tegra3 driver | 10:04 |
| lotuspsychje | zeorin: maybe ask in #ubuntu-touch? | 10:05 |
| zeorin | from what I gather, ubuntu touch is sufficiently different from a Desktop os that I'm not interested in running ubuntu touch on it. But perhaps the devs will be able to help me anyway | 10:06 |
| KI7MT | lotuspsychje, zeorin have you install the nv-tegra driver from the repos ? | 10:06 |
| zeorin | yes I have, but that made no difference. I even then installed the driver using the instructions from Nvidia themselves, but that also doesn't help | 10:08 |
| KI7MT | zeorin, and for info, how did you determine that it's not using the driver? | 10:09 |
| zeorin | I think it has to do with the fact that the kernel is not standard. In the installation instructions I followed, the kernel is loaded from a different partition, via a kexec-hardboot call, which then loads the files on my ubuntu sd card | 10:09 |
| zeorin | the kernel is a patched (unclear what patches) version of 3.1.10 | 10:10 |
| zeorin | nvidia's supplied kernel (with tegra3 for linux) is 2.6, which doesn't work for me at all. | 10:10 |
| cristian_c | Another question | 10:11 |
| zeorin | I know it's not using it because modprobe nividia returns nothing, about ubuntu dialog shows unknown driver, and unity elements in desktop are all transparent white noise when I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 | 10:11 |
| washedout | can i ask a really stupid question? | 10:12 |
| lotuspsychje | no questions are stupid | 10:12 |
| cristian_c | I checked brasero and Xfburn | 10:12 |
| washedout | thank you ^^ i agree | 10:12 |
| cristian_c | but I found no options for extracting a data cd, such as an encyclopedia | 10:12 |
| KI7MT | zeorin, was it working wiht 12.04 or was that why you upgraded? | 10:12 |
| cristian_c | then I installed k3b, but even in this case I found options such | 10:13 |
| bekks | cristian_c: mount it and copy the content, or dd the cd into an image. | 10:13 |
| washedout | when i click an application i dowloaded , it says i have to launch an application? | 10:13 |
| zeorin | It was working with 12.04, but I like to be on the most recent version, especially with arm branch because building software for that if the version I need is not in the repo is a battle. | 10:14 |
| bekks | washedout: you have to install software first. | 10:14 |
| cristian_c | bekks, ok | 10:14 |
| washedout | in terminal? | 10:14 |
| cristian_c | bekks, but if I use dd to create an .iso image, should I extract the image, then? | 10:14 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| cristian_c | and how? | 10:14 |
| cristian_c | :) | 10:14 |
| bekks | washedout: search using apt-cache search packagename; and install using sudo apt-get install packagename | 10:14 |
| bekks | cristian_c: you dont extract an image. An image is not an archive. :) | 10:15 |
| cristian_c | ok | 10:15 |
| KI7MT | zeorin, ok, so something broke betweek 04 and 10 then .. not the best solution I know, but maybe a 12.10 fresh install v.s. upgrade may reove it. | 10:15 |
| bekks | cristian_c: you can mount the cd/image and just copy the files. | 10:15 |

| zeorin | also, even on 12.04 it was not using tegra3 drivers, but noveau instead, which worked (or rather, unity in 12.04 worked with that), but I think the system would be faster when using the correct SoC drivers. Also, wifi constantly disconnects and bombs out. I figured if I installed nvidias own drivers that could be fixed | 10:15 |
| cristian_c | bekks, then, I simply copy the cd content | 10:15 |
| cristian_c | :) | 10:15 |
| washedout | bekks: lol yeah | 10:15 |
| zeorin | there's no 12.10 fresh install possible that i know | 10:15 |
| zeorin | this is the armhf branch that was designed for ac100 toshiba, 'ported' to the transformer prime | 10:16 |
| === giuseppe is now known as Guest90656 | ||
| zeorin | In any case, I don't that that would help. when I did do-release-upgrade it did warn me that my graphics hardware was not supported any more | 10:17 |
| KI7MT | zeorin, Ok, so not only is it a special distro, it's a port also. | 10:17 |
| zeorin | well, not truly a port | 10:17 |
| KI7MT | :-) | 10:17 |
| KI7MT | and the plot thickens | 10:17 |
| zeorin | since it's all armhf, but the kernel is not the one from the repos at all | 10:17 |
| washedout | bekks: the search command where it says package name should i replace with something, it's not working? | 10:18 |
| KI7MT | So the kernel is the port, and the rest is armhf | 10:18 |
| zeorin | yes, I think so | 10:18 |
| bekks | washedout: it is working. What is the command line you are entering? | 10:19 |
| Guest90656 | /load .xchat2/budus.so | 10:19 |
| zeorin | The instructions I followed worked, but beyond direct installation instrcutions, it didn't really explain what they truly were doing, which makes it difficult to really understand the setup now | 10:19 |
| washedout | apt-cache search packagename | 10:19 |
| KI7MT | zeorin, well, if you can get your hands on the kernel source for 12.04 that worked, you could compare that to the 12.10 source that's not workign, maybe build your own for it adding in what's lost in the many translations :-) | 10:19 |
| bekks | washedout: thats a working command, searching for "packagename". | 10:21 |
| zeorin | KI7MT, thanks for the help, I'll see where I can get | 10:21 |
| KI7MT | zeorin, A trip to the ubuntu-motu channel may shed some light on this, those guys are the real gurus for this. | 10:21 |
| zeorin | thanks, i'll try that if I get stuck again. | 10:22 |

| karstenk1977_ | plz, can you help me, Ive installed xdebug and it is loaded fine, but I cannot connect to the local port i setup as remote port | 10:34 |
| karstenk1977_ | i try telnet localhost 9090 and get connection refused | 10:34 |
| karstenk1977_ | the port isnt used from another app | 10:34 |
| bekks | karstenk1977_: Then use lsof -i to see which ports are open actually. | 10:35 |
| karstenk1977_ | the port isnt listed | 10:36 |
| bekks | karstenk1977_: Then nothing is listening on that port. | 10:36 |
| karstenk1977_ | i was knowing before i ask | 10:38 |
| karstenk1977_ | yes but how can I check why xdebug not opened that port | 10:38 |
| bekks | karstenk1977_: If nothing is listening, why do you expect it to work? :) | 10:38 |
| bekks | karstenk1977_: Thats a different question than before. Does xdevug have any options to increase verbosity? | 10:39 |
| raven | im have some upgrade problems... when im trying to upgrade from 12.10 to 13.10 with sudo do-release-upgrade -d it comes up: Looking for new Ubuntu release. No new release found?? | 10:41 |

| MonkeyDust | raven -d means development, iirc | 10:42 |
| bekks | raven: you have to upgrade to 13.04 first. | 10:42 |
| MonkeyDust | raven i guess that would be 14.04, which is not yet available | 10:42 |
| raven | but the same message comes with sudo do-release-upgrade... | 10:43 |

| Calinou | oolaolo, they did for me, 4 upgrades on 3 PCs | 10:54 |
| Calinou | so, stop the LTS fanboying and the clean install fanboying | 10:54 |
| Calinou | you have the possibility to upgrade without reinstalling for a reason | 10:54 |
| Calinou | oolaolo, one of the PCs I upgraded on even used a non-free driver | 10:54 |
| Calinou | it is not my problem if you use 150 PPAs, use do-release-upgrade and then whine | 10:55 |

| debfan | win7 on sdb1 and i have an old ubuntu on sdb2 | 11:43 |
| ObrienDave | so, what's on sda? | 11:43 |

| ObrienDave | debfan, afaik, that is not possible. your boot drive, mbr or gpt is always sda | 11:45 |
| pacy_ | Physicist, My question is I don't see the list to choose anymore | 11:45 |
| Physicist | pacy_: So, the boot loader is missing? Or only Ubuntu? | 11:46 |
| pacy_ | Physicist, I want the list of Operating system to reappear on boot. | 11:46 |

| cfhowlett | !details|pacy_, details matter. | 11:47 |
| ubottu | pacy_, details matter.: 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 ..." | 11:47 |
| pacy_ | Physicist, I think so because it is booting straight to windows | 11:47 |
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, nope. you can send grub anywhere. | 11:47 |
| debfan | so, i should have an option to install grub in /dev/sdb2 then, right? | 11:47 |
| ObrienDave | oks | 11:48 |
| debfan | cfhowlett: does that make sense? | 11:48 |
| Physicist | The principal O.S. become Windows after the installation, You have to access boot loader from windows and change the time out. | 11:48 |
| cfhowlett | debfan, yes, but I don't have enough dual HDD to give good advice. sorry. | 11:48 |
| pacy_ | I have ubuntu 12 my windows 7 was attacked by viruses then I decided to reinstall | 11:48 |
| debfan | cfhowlett: no problem | 11:49 |
| cfhowlett | pacy_, your ubuntu is there. you lost grub. reinstalll grub and it's fixed. | 11:49 |
| cfhowlett | !grub | 11:49 |

| debfan | i want to eventually have the OS boot on separate drives | 11:49 |
| ObrienDave | debfan, LOL we all do :) | 11:49 |
| pacy_ | cfhowlett, How can i install grub | 11:49 |
| debfan | ObrienDave: really? lol | 11:49 |
| debfan | I just thought i was bad | 11:50 |
| pacy_ | Physicist, yes | 11:50 |
| Physicist | cfhowlett: He probably has access only for windows.. | 11:50 |
| debfan | I'm ok with all other aspects of the install.. | 11:50 |
| cfhowlett | debfan, no, every dual booter has to learn some details eventually. consider yourself initiated. | 11:50 |
| ObrienDave | !yay | debfan | 11:50 |
| ubottu | debfan: Glad you made it! :-) | 11:50 |
| Physicist | pacy_: You can reinstall grub from a live cd. Its a easy process.. Hang on. | 11:50 |
| Physicist | I mean. Wait. | 11:51 |

| pacy_ | I can't get a terminal | 11:52 |
| cfhowlett | pacy_, boot live CD. Use terminal. | 11:52 |
| pacy_ | cfhowlett, can u tell me the steps if u remember? | 11:53 |

| pacy_ | Physicist, ok let me see links | 11:55 |
| Tex_Nick | lazyfingers: specifically ? | 11:55 |
| Physicist | pacy_: All you need is a Live cd and the connect with the internet. ( from there.. | 11:56 |
| lazyfingers | Tex_Nick, before 13.10 it was possible to remap caps to behave like control, now it's not possible; even more, if i change it via setxkbmap it goes back in a couple of seconds.. annoys like hell | 11:56 |

| Guest21446 | is any of you guys using backtrack | 12:11 |
| Physicist | pacy_: I already was a user of backtrack, the new Kali, and is a high secure O.S. with lots of advanced tools. | 12:11 |
| Guest21446 | ?? | 12:11 |
| Physicist | Guest21446: ^ Was! | 12:12 |
| cfhowlett | Guest21446 backtrack is not supported here .. plus I believe it's now called kali linux | 12:12 |
| bekks | pacy_: Of course. | 12:12 |
| pacy_ | Physicist, Should i switch from Anonymous os to backtrack? | 12:12 |

| tobitobsy | hi! | 12:12 |
| pacy_ | Physicist, Yes | 12:12 |
| tobitobsy | i'm doing the yearly maintenance on my mom's computerwhich runs ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the xubuntu desktop. i just ran ubuntu-support-status and am surprised to see that xubuntu-desktop and many other packes are listed as unsupported. why is this? | 12:13 |
| pacy_ | bekks, What about backtrack? | 12:13 |
| Guest21446 | backtrack is damn good | 12:13 |
| bekks | pacy_: Discontinued and not supported in here. | 12:13 |
| Physicist | Its Kali Linux. Its an amazing O.S. based on Debian. If you have or want easy or hard targets, go on.. | 12:13 |
| Tex_Nick | lazyfingers: let met give that a try ... have you asked in #emacs ? | 12:14 |
| lazyfingers | Tex_Nick, it has no connection to emacs, it's a 13.10 ubuntu problem | 12:14 |
| lazyfingers | always worked until 13.10 | 12:14 |
| pacy_ | Physicist,On some sites they say that most of backtrack tools are useless, What do u think? | 12:15 |

| alkamid | Hi. I've just discovered a very strange behaviour in 12.04. I am trying to add a caption to a photo uploaded to google+, but whenever I click "alt" (in Polish, alt is used to type diacritics), it exits the text field. I have just tried the same thing on windows, so it is not a google+ bug | 13:38 |
| alkamid | but I haven't seen this behavior anywhere else | 13:39 |
| willbradley | what happens when you press alt, only a defocusing of that field or does an Ubuntu menu come up | 13:39 |
| alkamid | willbradley, only defocusing | 13:39 |
| alkamid | it's right alt | 13:39 |
| willbradley | only on google+? | 13:40 |
| alkamid | willbradley, apparently yes | 13:40 |
| === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW | ||
| willbradley | do you hold down the alt button or press it? | 13:43 |
| alkamid | just press | 13:43 |
| willbradley | for me on 13.04 that opens up the application-specific alt menu which is a feature in ubuntu 13+ | 13:44 |
| willbradley | however even when i just hold alt, it defocuses (and opens the chrome menu) | 13:45 |
| willbradley | so it may be a chrome linux issue | 13:45 |
| willbradley | or polish keyboard issue | 13:45 |
| alkamid | willbradley, I tested it on firefox as well | 13:46 |
| willbradley | broken on ubuntu firefox? | 13:48 |
| alkamid | willbradley, yes | 13:48 |
| willbradley | what focuses? | 13:48 |
| willbradley | i.e. what happens if you press space/left/right/tab/etc | 13:49 |
| alkamid | willbradley, it is the same as on chrome | 13:51 |
| alkamid | so only right alt defocuses | 13:51 |
| alkamid | the rest works as expected: left alt opens "type your command" on the top of the screen | 13:51 |
| alkamid | ctrls do nothing | 13:52 |
| alkamid | etc. | 13:52 |
| alkamid | (lunch, brb) | 13:52 |
| willbradley | so if you press right alt and then press space, what happens? | 13:53 |

| yeats | cuddylier: what are you literally typing? can you copy/paste? | 14:31 |

| bekks | [[thufir]]: pastebin the crontab please | 14:36 |
| cfhowlett | Ilmen, greetings | 14:36 |
| llutz | [[thufir]]: files in cron.d must not have extensions. or better: they must not contain a "." (dot) | 14:38 |
| Ilmen | I was having a try to the KDE plasma desktop (I only installed the core package) and it works fine; however afterward I had the bad idea to install the package kubuntu-default-settings and now my boot entry has been renamed to "kubuntu" and the log-in screen changed to a blue one with personnal avatar etc. I thought it changed the session manager to kdm, but running "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" didn | 14:40 |

| MonkeyDust | bencc2 my advice: first try it with a live usb or dvd, see if it works | 14:42 |

| Ilmen | MonkeyDust: I get the following reply: "There is only one alternative in link group default.plymouth (providing /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth): /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth Nothing to configure." | 14:46 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, i can help with permissions and webservices but I never used Joomla. Do you know how to use the linux shell to enter in commands? | 14:47 |
| MonkeyDust | Ilmen then i don't know | 14:47 |
| [[thufir]] | llutz: thx | 14:47 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, yes i know how to get around in the terminal | 14:47 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, Can we join #Joomla to talk? | 14:48 |
| Ilmen | Somebody recommend to run "sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo"; I'll try this %) | 14:48 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, you've tried "chmod 755" etc first? or do you need help with that? I'm not sure of your skill level, sorry if its a odd question. =) | 14:48 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, okay hold on | 14:49 |
| MonkeyDust | Ilmen let me know if it did the job | 14:49 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, oh wait don't do anything yet I was just inquiring if you've tried. | 14:49 |
| Ilmen | MonkeyDust: ok | 14:49 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, i haven't changed the permissions like that, i've just been changing the ownership of the file so far. www-data worked for all of my other folders | 14:50 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, if its not on a production server you can try: "chmod 755 /var/www/logs && chmod 755 /var/www/tmp" (remove the quotes) | 14:51 |
| alkamid | willbradley, I changed to unity2d and it works fine now | 14:52 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, actually add a -R flag "chmod -R 755 /var/www/logs && chmod -R 755 /var/www/tmp" (remove the quotes) | 14:52 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, so its recursive. | 14:52 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, okay. what does 755 mean? | 14:52 |
| theadmin | unicornjedi: 7 = full access, 5 = read+executa | 14:53 |
| theadmin | unicornjedi: Full access for the owner, read/exec for the group and everyone else. | 14:53 |
| unicornjedi | theadmin, I don't think thats safe for my live site | 14:53 |
| theadmin | unicornjedi: Valid point. | 14:53 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, yeah thats why i said if its not on a production server. =) | 14:54 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, development server for debugging only otherwise that might cause security issues. | 14:54 |
| Ilmen | MonkeyDust: well, it didn't work; I'll ask in #kubuntu, I may get more information there. Thanks anyway :) | 14:54 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, I'd recommend having a dev server for this sort of stuff so theres no risk, once you have it figured out you can push it up to your production server. | 14:55 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, my site is offline right now. so I can go crazy with it now | 14:55 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, ok then if u want to, this should get it working then u can tweak the permissions. | 14:56 |
| nik22 | hello, i am a new user and i have some questions. is there somebody who has spare time to help me? | 14:56 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, "chmod -R 766 /var/www/logs && chmod -R 766 /var/www/tmp" | 14:56 |
| theadmin | nik22: Ask away. | 14:56 |
| [[thufir]] | llutz: I set it as so: http://pastebin.com/RfNihFYV and am still waiting for it to run. | 14:56 |
| nik22 | can i put the laucher bar down like windows 7? | 14:57 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, then see if your permission issue is solved then u can remove them. | 14:57 |
| theadmin | nik22: Not in Unity, no | 14:57 |
| Dynamicwork | nik22: Absolutly not | 14:57 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, once I do that how do I check the permissions of the folders afterwards? | 14:57 |
| theadmin | nik22: You can use an alternative desktop, though. Kubuntu feels a lot like Windows 7 in many ways. | 14:57 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, what I do is 'ls -alh ./' | 14:58 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, list "all, list format, human friendly sizes" | 14:58 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, it will have permissions on the list | 14:58 |
| nik22 | ok next question, what is the keyboard shortcut for language change? | 14:58 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, drwxr-xr-x 2 unicornjedi unicornjedi | 14:59 |
| theadmin | nik22: You can configure that in Settings -> Keyboard Layout -> Options. I think the default is Alt+Shift, but I am not sure. | 14:59 |
| theadmin | ShadowE989: -l is not "list format" it's "long" | 14:59 |
| theadmin | Just saying | 14:59 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, ok see how it has 10 characters there where it has the 'drwx-etc' | 14:59 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, :p intrepret pwease | 14:59 |
| ShadowE989 | theadmin, hehe | 15:00 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, yessir | 15:00 |
| nik22 | super+space is the default | 15:00 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, ignore the d and notice there is 3 groups of 3 characters, rwx / r-x / r-x | 15:00 |
| nik22 | i found it in text entry options | 15:01 |
| theadmin | nik22: Ah, it is in 13.10, indeed. I assumed you were running 12.04. | 15:01 |
| theadmin | Guess I should have asked | 15:01 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, each group of 3 means the permissions for owner, group, everyone | 15:01 |
| [[thufir]] | I thought that I fixed this cron job: http://pastebin.com/RfNihFYV but it doesn't seem to run. can I check a log to see error messages, maybe? | 15:02 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, so its set to owner = read, write, execute / group = read execute / everyone = read, execute | 15:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | !manual | unicornjedi seems you might be in need of this. much of the console basics are covered in this | 15:02 |

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 15:02 |
| ShadowE989 | hitsujiTMO, i agree | 15:02 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, okayyy, i'll check the manual. reading is such a boreee | 15:03 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, brushing up wont hurt if you're running a server, but run the command I gave you before but with 766 instead of 755. like... | 15:03 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, "chmod -R 766 /var/www/logs && chmod -R 766 /var/www/tmp" | 15:04 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, its the 'nuke it from orbit approach but it will tell you if you're having permission issues or not. | 15:04 |
| unicornjedi | ShadowE989, okay let me try it real quick | 15:05 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, and it should get your site back online if the permissions are indeed the issue. | 15:05 |
| ShadowE989 | unicornjedi, fingers crossed =) | 15:05 |

| theadmin | llrealmanll: sudo apt-get install packagename | 15:16 |
| theadmin | llrealmanll: That will update the individual package to the latest version. | 15:16 |
| llrealmanll | pfifo: you see it's not latest version | 15:17 |

| pfifo | hkr: irssi | 15:19 |
| theadmin | hkr: There's no "best', everyone has their own tastes. irssi and xchat seem popular. | 15:19 |
| [[thufir]] | theadmin: not really, when I execute that script by typing in its path, it executes without further user input...I don't quite follow your question. When the script executes, it pegs the cpu. (bitcoin type mining) | 15:19 |
| tutak | Hello guys | 15:19 |
| hkr | Okay. Let me try that out. I really like XChat :D | 15:19 |
| [[thufir]] | hkr: I like pidgin | 15:19 |
| theadmin | [[thufir]]: Ah, alright. | 15:19 |
| MonkeyDust | hkr try a few, then decide which you like more | 15:19 |
| SrRaven | Hi, I have a macbook pro taht already has windows on it via dual boot, want to add linux to this, any idea how ? | 15:19 |
| hkr | Ah, Irssi is CLI based. | 15:19 |
| hkr | Cool. | 15:19 |
| [[thufir]] | theadmin: I was thinking, maybe have the script put a log somewhere saying "ok, I'm running."? | 15:19 |
| Wug | theadmin: I don't suppose you know off the top of your head if hexchat is available for ubuntu? | 15:20 |
| maxvi | Hi everyone! the download checkbox was hide in transmission and I can't exclude some files from download... | 15:20 |
| theadmin | Wug: Ain't, at least not in 12.04 default repos. | 15:20 |
| pfifo | !info hexchat | wug | 15:20 |
| ubottu | wug: Package hexchat does not exist in saucy | 15:20 |
| theadmin | Well, there. | 15:20 |
| MonkeyDust | maxvi not sure if transmission can do it, but deluge can | 15:21 |
| Wug | there's a small difference between being in the repos and being available | 15:21 |
| theadmin | Wug: Oh, if that's what you mean, sure. They have a PPA on their homepage. | 15:21 |
| theadmin | Wug: Just use that. | 15:21 |
| tutak | when i access a /Desktop/folder1 through terminal and then from there type cd / and then tab instead of giving me possible names of the folders in folder1 it instead gives the names of the subfolders in Root | 15:21 |
| tutak | what am i doing wrong? | 15:21 |
| Wug | fyi, but if you have the blessing of choice, pick hexchat. | 15:21 |
| theadmin | tutak: Because / is the root directory. ~ is your home directory, which is where Desktop and stuff is. | 15:22 |
| maxvi | MonkeyDust: I did it earlier with other torrent files and it keep works for them... but not for this torrent file ( | 15:22 |
| Wug | xchat has some outstanding security issues and has not been updated in years | 15:22 |
| pfifo | maxvi: what exactly is the problem? | 15:22 |
| theadmin | Wug: Ah. Well, I use Quassel myself. | 15:22 |
| hkr | Does Irssi use emacs style navigation ? | 15:22 |
| pfifo | hkr: no, but it probably can | 15:22 |
| Wug | hexchat is basically designed and marketed as having the same look and feel as xchat, which is why I like it | 15:23 |
| hkr | Hmm... I'm just learning the ropes of vim. I don't need emacs-ish IRCs yet :) | 15:23 |
| Wug | xchat's user interface is good | 15:23 |
| ice9 | are there complete Unity themes? | 15:23 |
| tutak | true.. | 15:23 |
| tutak | thanks | 15:23 |
| hkr | I love XChat. I use it now. | 15:23 |
| Wug | you'll love hexchat too | 15:23 |
| MonkeyDust | hkr if you use irssi in combination with screen, you can easily logout without losing the IRC session | 15:23 |
| ice9 | that modifies the menu bar and windows decoration | 15:23 |
| Wug | they behave the same way | 15:23 |
| hkr | Might switch to Irssi. Can't say no to CLI. | 15:24 |
| Wug | hexchat evolved from xchat-wdk which was basically just an open source xchat clone designed to run on windows | 15:24 |
| Wug | (unlike the "official" version of xchat on windows, which costs $15 or something) | 15:24 |
| theadmin | Wug: (which is honestly rather ridiculous... That's against the open-source ideals) | 15:25 |
| maxvi | pfifo: http://smages.com/images/screenlcl.png there are no download checkboxes... to exclude some files from download also there are no priority select ... | 15:25 |
| Wug | I agree. I used the free trial for a month before it started demanding money, and then bounced between various clones for a while before settling on hexchat, which performs the best and has the best future. | 15:25 |
| pfifo | its perfectly acceptable for something to be open source and cost money | 15:25 |
| Wug | but lack of consistent updates is not doing xchat any good. | 15:26 |
| Okitain | theadmin: no, actually, it's perfectly acceptable to give source to those who purchase your software. | 15:26 |
| pfifo | maxvi: make the window bigger? | 15:26 |
| Okitain | (and then they can share the source with whoever else) | 15:26 |
| Wug | there are a few password disclosure bugs, in which xchat will just beam your passwords out to random servers on connection | 15:26 |
| theadmin | Okitain: Ah, okay. Well. Commercial open-source is rare nowadays though. Anyways, I'm headed off. | 15:27 |
| maxvi | pfifo: oh.... sorry this is my fake... thanks! | 15:27 |
| Okitain | theadmin: well, Stallman did it. | 15:27 |
| Okitain | Has anyone used Windows Quassel? | 15:28 |

| wIzjIn | so now do you have enough empty space on ur hdd ? | 15:55 |
| SrRaven | im waiting for my ubuntu download to finish | 15:55 |
| SrRaven | so I can take 50 gb of my mac osx partition | 15:56 |
| SrRaven | whcih im doing using the hard drive tool from mac itself | 15:56 |
| wIzjIn | right | 15:56 |
| SrRaven | eta 3 mins + partitioning time | 15:56 |
| lotuspsychje | Balzy: maybe try a previous kernel in grub (recoverymode) and failsafeX | 15:56 |
| wIzjIn | so when you install ubuntu, its bootloader grub should automatically detect your currently installed OSes | 15:56 |
| SrRaven | I hope so otherwise im screwed lol | 15:57 |
| wIzjIn | no no | 15:57 |
| wIzjIn | it will | 15:57 |
| MonkeyDust | SrRaven backup first, if needed | 15:57 |
| SrRaven | using 12.10 btw | 15:57 |
| wIzjIn | but i recommend you use an extra swap partition | 15:57 |
| wIzjIn | other then the one you install ubuntu on | 15:57 |
| SrRaven | the newest version of ubuntu somehow doesnt have much tutorial wise in the mac section | 15:57 |
| wIzjIn | and in case | 15:58 |
| wIzjIn | have you ever used ubuntu before ? | 15:58 |
| SrRaven | theres nothing of importance on the macbook | 15:58 |
| SrRaven | yeah | 15:58 |
| SrRaven | been a while but yes | 15:58 |
| wIzjIn | so you should know the default software store | 15:58 |
| SrRaven | yeah | 15:58 |
| wIzjIn | from which you can download apps | 15:58 |
| Balzy | lotuspsychje the safe mode with the bash console works properly, I can anything from there but I have no idea about fixing the issue when running the default kde session, any idea? | 15:59 |
| wIzjIn | so in case, you install ubuntu, and it doesn't happen to detect or old OSes | 15:59 |
| wIzjIn | note this instruction down | 15:59 |
| SrRaven | im on my desktop atm | 15:59 |
| SrRaven | so i wont go | 15:59 |
| wIzjIn | There is a utility out there called "Boot-Repair" which you can install through terminal via simple command | 16:00 |
| wIzjIn | incase if grub overrides or old OSes | 16:00 |
| wIzjIn | use it from the newly installed ubuntu | 16:00 |
| bibi234 | I'd like to install ubuntu on a computer, how can I know if I need 32 bits or 64 bits, my CPU is "Intel Pentium Dual Core G2020." | 16:00 |
| wIzjIn | it has an option "quick fix" a one-clicker.. it will fix it for sure | 16:00 |
| wIzjIn | but i am sure ubuntu will detect your old OSes | 16:00 |
| SrRaven | partitioning now | 16:01 |
| wIzjIn | A simple google will let you to "boot-repair" install guide... | 16:01 |
| SrRaven | well removing 50 gb from the mac partitons, im resizing more or less | 16:01 |
| wIzjIn | keep 50 gb space unpartitioned | 16:01 |
| wIzjIn | make 5 gb swap partition | 16:01 |
| wIzjIn | and 45 gb ext4 | 16:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Balzy: not sure mate, maybe the #kubuntu guys might know? | 16:02 |
| SrRaven | ehh wIzjIn thats complicated now | 16:02 |
| wIzjIn | that ext4 partition you ll have to use as mount point | 16:02 |
| wIzjIn | whats so complicated ? | 16:02 |
| wIzjIn | whats so complicated ? | 16:03 |
| SrRaven | that the partitioning tool of mac doesnt offer me the 45 gb part | 16:03 |
| SrRaven | eh ext4 | 16:03 |
| wIzjIn | dont worry abt that now | 16:03 |
| SrRaven | I can either format in fat or exfat or leave it empty | 16:03 |
| SrRaven | so... | 16:03 |
| wIzjIn | keep it unpartitoned | 16:03 |
| SrRaven | should I just "clear" 100~ ? | 16:03 |
| wIzjIn | all these you have to do is while installing ubuntu | 16:04 |
| ehdi | Does linux have "Rights Management Services" on Linux --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Directory_Rights_Management_Services | 16:04 |
| Balzy | lotuspsychje okay I'll try to ask there, thanks! | 16:04 |
| wIzjIn | right now, you just need certain amount of empty space | 16:04 |
| wIzjIn | be it 50 or 100 gigs | 16:04 |
| SrRaven | alright resizing again :P | 16:04 |
| SrRaven | I only need to do some homework on it lol | 16:04 |
| SrRaven | I rather not use the software on windows :/ | 16:04 |
| === Windows is now known as WindowsHeelp | ||
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: You can resize partitions from within Ubuntu's installer. | 16:05 |
| SrRaven | done | 16:06 |
| SrRaven | rebooting into the usb ubuntu (hopefully) | 16:06 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: Do *not* use boot camp, it creats an ugly "hybrid MBR". | 16:06 |
| SrRaven | what u mean | 16:07 |
| wIzjIn | Jordan_U, he is largely unaware.. | 16:07 |
| SrRaven | alright it isnt booting into live ubuntu | 16:07 |
| wIzjIn | are you sure you have usb-boot enabled from Bios ? set it as first priority ? | 16:08 |
| SrRaven | no and no ! | 16:08 |
| SrRaven | wait how th fuck do you enter one on a macbook | 16:09 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: To allow installation of Windows, Apple's boot camp creates an out-of-spec msdos label even though you have GPT. It's ugly and causes problems and is not needed if you're notbooting Windows. | 16:09 |
| Jordan_U | !language | SrRaven | 16:10 |
| ubottu | SrRaven: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 16:10 |
| SrRaven | sorry :/ | 16:10 |
| wIzjIn | Jordan_U, will Grub detect older OSes in this case ? | 16:11 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: What iso did you use to create the bootable USB, and what tool? | 16:11 |
| SrRaven | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Quantal | 16:12 |
| SrRaven | used the tool in the boot section | 16:12 |
| Jordan_U | wIzjIn: Older? In what case? | 16:12 |
| wIzjIn | in SrRaven | 16:12 |
| wIzjIn | 's case | 16:12 |
| Jordan_U | wIzjIn: What do you mean by "older"? | 16:14 |
| wIzjIn | previously installed | 16:14 |
| Jordan_U | wIzjIn: Yes, it will. | 16:14 |
| wIzjIn | so SrRaven your good to go | 16:15 |
| SrRaven | as soon as I get it to boot | 16:15 |
| SrRaven | Im newschool...I dont have a cdr blank | 16:15 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: I asked two questions, you only answered one. | 16:15 |
| SrRaven | whats the second one | 16:15 |
| SrRaven | I answered one previously, I used the 12.10 version | 16:16 |
| SrRaven | like the tutorial suggests (its for 12.10) and the tool I used (as said before) was the one in the boot section | 16:16 |
| SrRaven | but the unetbootin doesnt seem to work | 16:16 |
| wIzjIn | it may be cause of some faulty setting in BIOS | 16:17 |
| SrRaven | ...and how would I enter a mac bios? | 16:17 |
| SrRaven | bios is windows | 16:17 |
| wIzjIn | generally, you can go there by pressing "Del" or "F2" while your computer is starting(booting).. | 16:17 |
| wIzjIn | there must be something similar in mac | 16:17 |
| hassen_ | does formatting the HDD, or 1/some of its partitions many times harm it given a period of time?(e.g to install an OS) | 16:18 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: Try Unetbootin and the normal (*not "+mac") Ubuntu 13.10 iso. | 16:19 |
| === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY | ||
| SrRaven | but the tutorial is a dozen times more confusing | 16:19 |
| pfifo | hassen_: no | 16:21 |
| oriez | I've got an SD card that I can't get work after formating, I tried GParted but when i'm deleting everything and then creating a full disk Fat32 partiton it doesn't seem to detect the partition in gparted!!!!!! maybe I massed up partitions... so I tried deleting everything - MBR too (dd etc.) | 16:21 |
| oriez | whats the problem? | 16:21 |
| Jordan_U | hassen_: No more than any other operation that writes an equivalent amount of data. | 16:21 |
| oriez | i'm stuck with /dev/loop0 when mounting... | 16:22 |
| bekks | oriez: how are you mounting then? /dev/loop0 isntr required for mounting a SD card. | 16:23 |
| oriez | idk, it automount loop0 | 16:23 |
| oriez | bekks, i get - /dev/loop0 3.4G 4.1k 3.4G | 16:24 |
| bekks | oriez: Where do you get that? | 16:24 |
| oriez | but the drive is 16GB | 16:24 |
| Jordan_U | oriez: Please pastebin the output of "losetup" "sudo parted -l" and "mount". | 16:24 |
| oriez | df -H | 16:24 |
| SrRaven | sorry my internet died | 16:25 |
| SrRaven | lost the last 6 mins | 16:25 |
| SrRaven | Jordan_U you said I should get 13.10, it isnt listed in the macbook pro wiki page, still go ahead or not? | 16:25 |
| munz | SrRaven: im running 13.10 on a 5.5 macbook pro | 16:26 |
| SrRaven | awesome | 16:26 |
| munz | no bios in macs, uefi sorta | 16:26 |
| SrRaven | but thats pre-intel isnt it | 16:26 |
| Calinou | HELp | 16:26 |
| Calinou | HOW DO I ADD MYSELF TO SUDOERS FILE | 16:27 |
| munz | no dual core | 16:27 |
| Calinou | I REMOVED THE ONLY SUDOER | 16:27 |
| munz | nvidia vid | 16:27 |
| SrRaven | hehe | 16:27 |
| bekks | Calinou: We can read lowercase too. | 16:27 |
| munz | http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533?viewlocale=de_de | 16:27 |
| munz | boot keys there | 16:27 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: My guess is that more will work out of the box, though you may have a harder time finding instructions for fixing the things that don't. More importantly, for a USB you don't want the +mac iso. | 16:27 |
| munz | hold c during startup for cd or usb | 16:27 |
| pfifo | Calinou: USE A CHROOT | 16:27 |
| Calinou | I need something simple | 16:28 |
| SrRaven | thanks both of you | 16:28 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: Pre-intel they were powerbooks. | 16:28 |
| pfifo | Calinou: format and reinstall | 16:28 |
| SrRaven | formatting my usb stick first | 16:28 |
| Calinou | that's simpler, but that requires ~1 hour | 16:28 |
| bekks | Calinou: Then use a chroot. | 16:28 |
| Calinou | how? what? | 16:29 |
| bekks | !chroot | Calinou | 16:29 |
| ubottu | Calinou: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 16:29 |
| munz | as far as installing i agree, do not use bootcamp let grub/ubuntu handle it | 16:29 |
| Calinou | I can't use any sudo commands | 16:29 |
| bekks | Calinou: Use a livecd and a chroot. | 16:29 |
| pfifo | Calinou: you could also boot into recovery mode, that drops you into a root shell without asking for a password, then add a user to the admin group or edit sudoers as needed | 16:29 |
| SrRaven | yeah be patient with me folks, still formatting :/ | 16:30 |
| oriez | Jordan_U - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=RWDzUVBu | 16:30 |
| nik22 | hello, how can i create a bootable usb in ubuntu? i used pendrive in windows to do this job | 16:30 |
| Calinou | pfifo, what file do I need to edit then | 16:31 |
| SrRaven | should i format the stick to ms-dos or something? | 16:31 |
| munz | SrRaven: if your fans dont work after install check this http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/11/ppa-install-fan-control-ubuntu-macbook/ | 16:31 |
| SrRaven | ...lol | 16:31 |
| SrRaven | that might get hot :P | 16:32 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: No, GPT is ideal. I'm not sure if unetbootin will set things up properly for EFI though. | 16:32 |
| SrRaven | GPT ? | 16:32 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: GUID Partition Table. | 16:33 |
| bekks | Calinou: the same you deleted yourself from. /etc/sudoers | 16:33 |
| Calinou | I used the GUI Stuff | 16:33 |
| Calinou | so I have no idea | 16:33 |
| SrRaven | Jordan_U how would I format it that way, windows doesnt offer me that | 16:34 |
| munz | SrRaven: also by default to use the f1, f2, f3, etc you have to press fn+f1 the details and workaround can be found here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard | 16:35 |
| oriez | Jordan_U & bekks - the thing is that GParted can format the drive but can't detect the filesystem which Gparted made!! tried both Ext(2,3,4) and FAT32 | 16:35 |
| Jordan_U | SrRaven: So you currently have Windows and OSX installed on this Macbook? | 16:35 |
| SrRaven | yes | 16:35 |
| SrRaven | and im using windows (my desktop PC) to write this | 16:35 |
| Jordan_U | oriez: Just "mount". | 16:36 |
| teenox | Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Lubuntu installed on remote VPS running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, using tightvnc to VNC to Lubuntu. Chromium does not work. Same install on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit VPS and Chromium works perfectly. | 16:37 |
| oriez | it says "created successfully" but then refreshed and nothing detectable | 16:37 |
| oriez | Jordan_U , I did | 16:37 |
| bekks | oriez: Then create the partitions using gparted, and create the filesystems using mkfs | 16:37 |
| Jordan_U | oriez: No, you posted the output of "mount /dev/sdc1". | 16:38 |
| oriez | Jordan_U , but i get the loop and the error that was in pastebin | 16:38 |
| SrRaven | seems to boot now | 16:38 |
| SrRaven | as I dont see anything | 16:38 |
| SrRaven | its white screen'ing | 16:39 |
| oriez | Jordan_U , http://pastebin.com/PCN2ZpBa - you mean this? | 16:40 |
| [[thufir]] | what is the syntax error with this cron job? http://pastebin.com/LqygtrDs seems pretty straightforward... | 16:40 |
| === Amar is now known as Guest43902 | ||
| SrRaven | it wont boot :/ | 16:41 |
| oriez | Jordan_U , how do you create a partiton with no fs.... unformatted option?? | 16:41 |
| oriez | or cleared? | 16:42 |
| SrRaven | ok now it did | 16:42 |
| munz | :) | 16:43 |
| SrRaven | so now, should I use the option "add ubuntu next to mac osx" or use the "something else" option? | 16:43 |
| SrRaven | considering I already have a dual boot windows thing | 16:43 |
| munz | does it see the windows side? | 16:44 |
| SrRaven | where | 16:44 |
| SrRaven | it only says "theres already mac osx" | 16:45 |
| munz | the installer, it only gives an option for the osx not windows too? | 16:45 |
| SrRaven | yes | 16:45 |
| Calinou | the graphical app that manages accounts still sucks, because it doesn't give sudo to people clearly marked as administrator | 16:46 |
| Calinou | but in any distro, giving someone sudo is a pain | 16:46 |
| oriez | Jordan_U , http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=jUGy01Dv - maybe that can lead to something?? | 16:46 |
| munz | sounds like the bootcamped windows will fall under the mac osx boot, Jordan_U u agree? | 16:46 |
| bekks | Calinou: because being administrator is technically different from having sudo privileges. | 16:46 |
| munz | sooo... i would do the along side osx, not sure what other choice we have | 16:46 |
| munz | sounds correct | 16:46 |
| bekks | Calinou: It is a oneline to give sudo to someone. Add the user to the group wheel. | 16:46 |
| bekks | Calinou: No need to even touch /etc/sudoers. | 16:47 |
| SrRaven | ok | 16:47 |
| Calinou | wheel? | 16:47 |
| SrRaven | it even already has macbook keyboard as options,neat | 16:47 |
| Calinou | why not something like "sudo"? | 16:47 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 16:47 |
| munz | sweet | 16:47 |
| bekks | Calinou: Because its wheel. | 16:47 |
| Calinou | anyway I would have to do that from a live USB | 16:48 |
| teenox | anyone know why chromium would work on ubuntu server 10.04 but not 12.04? Installed lubuntu desktop and accessing remotely with vnc | 16:48 |
| bekks | Calinou: you could already have done it successfully. | 16:48 |
| wIzjIn | SrRaven how are you faring ? | 16:49 |

| SrRaven | im not getting a confirmation or anything | 17:15 |
| SrRaven | but I did it | 17:15 |
| munz | ok, next we need to edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add the line: blacklist ndiswrapper | 17:16 |
| SrRaven | wel l guess it logging into my wifi is some form of confirmation :P | 17:16 |
| munz | so gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 17:16 |

| mastro | Hi, I have this very old PC of a friend I'm putting Ubuntu 6.10 in it. Everything works but I need to install some stuff. I need internet and hoped to use an USB wireless stick I have which need rt2800usb driver. It's not there in Ubuntu 6.10. Any suggestion? | 18:12 |
| Calinou | we don't support 6.10 here | 18:13 |
| Calinou | since... 2008 | 18:13 |
| ehnde | i installed the fglrx driver and i can no longer log into my desktop via GDM. what can i do? | 18:13 |
| ehnde | the desktop login screen comes up, but there is no way to log in...no authentication dialogue | 18:13 |
| mastro | Calinou, well modern ubuntu do not run on that PC | 18:14 |
| DJones | mastro: 6.10 isn't supported anymore, you'd be better using 12.04, if its a low powered machine, maybe look at Lubuntu/Xubuntu rather than Ubuntu | 18:14 |
| mastro | DJones, nope. too hard to use for him | 18:14 |
| Calinou | too hard? | 18:15 |
| andyfied | lubuntu hard? | 18:15 |
| yash069 | mastro: put xbuntu | 18:15 |
| Calinou | lubuntu is lighter | 18:15 |
| knightshade | Hello | 18:15 |
| SchrodingersScat | knightshade: hello | 18:15 |
| mastro | DJones, plain Ubuntu 6.10 is just perfect for him. I'm not going to follow that suggestion and start over. If you don't support me here I'll go ask in some other random channel. | 18:15 |
| DJones | mastro: Its not just support, all of the repo's for 6.10 will have been removed, it'll have a lot of out of date software, thats why it doesn't get support anymore | 18:16 |
| mastro | DJones, that's not an issue | 18:17 |
| fatjon | ubntu dont show the computer clok on the top right of the schren. | 18:17 |
| vith | mastro: sure seems to be considering what you're asking for | 18:17 |
| mastro | DJones, http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Repository/SourcesList/EOL - and the PC will NOT have internet, not will need any update or software after I set it up. | 18:17 |
| mastro | DJones, I just need internet to set it up. nothing more. | 18:17 |
| DJones | fatjon: Open a terminal window and try "killall unity-panel-service" I had to use that the other day to get the clock back | 18:18 |
| DJones | mastro: ok, good luck, but as has been mentioned, its no longer a supported release and doesn't get support in the ubuntu channels | 18:19 |
| fatjon | DJones. thenks now it ok | 18:21 |
| mastro | DJones, I got it. | 18:21 |
| mastro | DJones, but I still hope someone to pop up and help | 18:22 |
| andyfied | mastro: i doubt anyone can remember how to support it | 18:22 |
| mastro | andyfied, actually I can compile the driver on my own... but I would have to install make headers etc... which bring back the issue: I need internet | 18:23 |
| mastro | andyfied, currently the only thing I tough about is to move the hard drive in some external USB (which I do not have for IDE drive) and chroot in the system | 18:24 |
| mastro | andyfied, or manually find every single .deb copy over to the USB stick and bring it in the PC both are far from good solutions to me | 18:25 |
| andyfied | the driver for that is here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rt2800usb | 18:25 |

| ztane | toolbar = tray | 19:29 |
| ztane | /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev? | 19:30 |
| KI7MT | [[thufir]], the upstart cookbook walks through examples: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ .. you could also use one of the existing upstart scripts and modify it or fondsomeone to write it for you. | 19:32 |
| KI7MT | find someone .. | 19:33 |
| === Krock is now known as SmallJoker | ||
| [[thufir]] | see, where is an existing script, though? | 19:33 |
| [[thufir]] | I looked through that cookbook, I don't see where/which file to put any of that stuff. | 19:34 |

| sgfg | may not have the drives | 19:56 |
| bekks | sgfg: the answer to your initial question still is "yes". | 19:56 |
| mattintech | no_gravity: you could restart tightvncserver to reset the counter if you can ssh in. | 19:57 |
| sgfg | so no probes to encounter with the drivers | 19:57 |
| MonkeyDust | sgfg try a live usb or dvd, first | 19:57 |
| no_gravity | mattintech: that would kill my x session | 19:57 |

| jan_ | Nobody here that remapped keys in 13.10? setxbkmap works one time then it gets messed up and i have to reset and do it again and xmodmap doesnt work at all :/ | 20:13 |
| bekks | Calinou: Of course you can run COD on Ubuntu. | 20:14 |
| Calinou | I wasn't talking about COD | 20:14 |
| Calinou | lickalott, because 1) it wastes the time of people 2) it uses Google | 20:14 |
| jan_ | trin2>cod and its running "native" with steam:D | 20:14 |
| lickalott | honestly the only thing that separates "us" from the people asking questions is our google-fu. And I think it adds a sense of humor to the whole thing | 20:14 |

| jan_ | faryshta you could always create a dropbox account for your friends and you or use some irc channel | 20:28 |
| faryshta | jan_, I need yahoo messenger. | 20:28 |
| lickalott | if you were just looking for file transfer I was going to suggest other options. If you are using something yahoo specific obviously my opinions wouldn't matter. That's why I was asking. | 20:29 |
| faryshta | my friends are not tech savy | 20:29 |
| kostkon | faryshta, just give them the link to click on, be it a dropbox or even ubuntu one url | 20:29 |
| faryshta | kostkon, no thanks. | 20:30 |
| kostkon | faryshta, i don't think it's that hard | 20:30 |
| kostkon | faryshta, ok then | 20:30 |
| jan_ | hmm i used some google and it seems that file transfer is still a problem over yahoo, it was years ago already so if theres no fix im not to sure that it can be fixed easily(bad protocol) | 20:31 |

| tpw_rules | i'm not concerned about that and worst case scenario i can pull the drive and reboot | 20:42 |
| tpw_rules | or rather attach it to another machine | 20:42 |
| faryshta | jan_, the problem was solved for gmail accounts. | 20:43 |
| jan_ | sry faryshta its not looking like anybody solved it for yahoo, i did some google and no solutions:( | 20:43 |
| jan_ | are u on lts or 13.10? | 20:43 |
| lickalott | so you're concerned with the graphics at this point (only) tpw_rules? | 20:44 |
| tpw_rules | you could say that | 20:44 |
| tpw_rules | okay, disabled the floppy in the bios, done with that | 20:44 |
| jan_ | tpw there i no need to pull anything my point is that 12.10 is not a reasonable upgrade form lts if there is 13.10which has a lot of improvements and theres gonna be a new lts "soon" | 20:44 |
| tpw_rules | well my system doesn't work well enough to upgrade | 20:45 |
| tpw_rules | i needed to upgrade it to run a piece of software | 20:45 |
| jan_ | Ah btw anybody here that has a solution to the chrome flash player crapping up the panel and "dock" after going full screen? | 20:45 |
| lickalott | i did that once tpw_rules. THen figured since 12.10 wasn't LTS, I'd go with 13.04. When I did that upgrade my entire filesystem was read-only after wards. | 20:46 |
| tpw_rules | huh, that's a bit bizarre | 20:46 |
| jan_ | tpw im just curious, what did u need to run?:D | 20:46 |
| faryshta | jan_, yeah, I only come here after google fails me. Yes 13.10 | 20:46 |
| tpw_rules | cgminer for litecoins | 20:46 |
| faryshta | jan_, also tried y!m + wine and doesn't work either | 20:46 |
| jan_ | faryshta i know that its troublesome all the time, especially yahoo which i, im sorry, dont see the reason to use overall | 20:47 |
| jan_ | i assume its working on windows? | 20:47 |

| dave87 | jan_ I was hoping that would do the trick. the other drive is NFTS, normally used with windows. Could that cause some trouble? (during Ubuntu installation it couldn't see how much empty space there is on the drive) | 20:53 |

| sebsebseb | Calinou: jan_ offical Canonical supported dervatives yeah e.g. Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu, and the GNOME Remix as well I think | 20:59 |
| aarossig | BluesKaj: I pulled the harddrive a few months back to install archlinux on it, but I don't have the time to keep an arch system running smoothly anymore. I'm thinking that since I already have a full distro, it should (in theory) be easy to boot from USB | 20:59 |

| atma111 | thx | 21:20 |
| knightshade | atma111: de nada :> | 21:20 |
| bekks | jan_: Never ever do sudo passwd. | 21:20 |
| bekks | !root | jan_ | 21:20 |
| ubottu | jan_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:20 |
| atma111 | can divide the internet speed in my local network? | 21:20 |
| jan_ | bekks: he is on the live cd and he wants to set a password...i dont want to | 21:20 |
| bekks | jan_: and sudo passwd is the wrong approach. | 21:21 |
| Calinou | atma111, wondershaper | 21:21 |
| jan_ | i know that i can go sudo su without the need of a root password:D | 21:21 |
| bekks | jan_: sudo su is wrong, too. USe sudo -i | 21:22 |
| jan_ | atma your router can do that | 21:22 |
| jan_ | bekks: whats the difference? both work, sudo su works on other systems too | 21:22 |
| Calinou | my router can't do that | 21:22 |
| Calinou | not all of them can | 21:23 |
| bekks | jan_: Just because something works, it doesnt make it more sensible. | 21:23 |
| atma111 | wondershaper is better than squid3 ? | 21:23 |
| jan_ | bekks so whats the difference? | 21:23 |
| bekks | atma111: wondershaper is a firewall tool, squid3 is a proxy server. | 21:23 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as Guest60899 | ||
| timposey | bkks, jan_: thanks so do I or don't I | 21:24 |
| bekks | jan_: The difference is, that sudo asks for the user password, executes su, which, as root, doesnt ask for a password. The same thing, "ask for the user password and give the user a root shell" is done by sudo -i | 21:25 |
| atma111 | I have a cyber 8pc, I have an old pc | 21:25 |
| atma111 | I need to make a server | 21:25 |
| jan_ | bekks so if the same thing is done its the same with the same amount of keystrokes:D | 21:25 |
| bekks | jan_: your approach needs more keystrokes. | 21:26 |
| jan_ | sudo-su | 21:26 |
| jan_ | sudosu | 21:26 |
| jan_ | sudo-i | 21:26 |
| bekks | jan_: "sudo su" vs. "sudo -i" | 21:26 |
| jan_ | its the same amount of characters;) | 21:26 |
| bekks | jan_: Nontheless, your approach isnt sensible. | 21:27 |
| Beldar | jan_, I believe the difference in ubuntu is the level of root, IE what gets rooted. | 21:27 |
| bekks | Beldar: Technically not, both get you root environment. | 21:27 |
| jan_ | and i bet they both do it the same way | 21:27 |
| Beldar | a permissions difference | 21:27 |
| bekks | jan_: No, they dont. I told you the difference. | 21:27 |
| totesmuhgoats | hi folks | 21:28 |
| totesmuhgoats | how can i see what different java packages i have installed? | 21:28 |
| bekks | Beldar: No, same permissions. Different, not sensible way of getting them when using sudo su | 21:28 |
| jan_ | im not talking sudo -i vs su im talking sudo su vs sudo -i | 21:28 |
| bekks | jan_: Me too. I explained the difference to you and why your approacgh isnt sensible. | 21:28 |
| jan_ | u said they do the same or did i misread it?:D | 21:29 |
| Beldar | bekks, Cool I have just seen it explained by different permissions. | 21:29 |
| bekks | Beldar: The permissions granted are the same. | 21:29 |
| bekks | jan_: You did misread. | 21:29 |
| jan_ | yes so is there some safety issue with sudo su? | 21:29 |
| Beldar | does not matter to me but thanks | 21:29 |
| bekks | jan_: They do different things with the same result, which is a big difference to "they do the same". | 21:30 |

| Guest80040 | name ? | 21:31 |
| Guest80040 | hm | 21:32 |

| KI7MT | New Hire or New here ? | 21:33 |
| Guest80040 | eeegal | 21:33 |
| jan_ | alright found it, if i do sudo su i wont get logged by sudo anymore while i will with sudu -i | 21:33 |
| bekks | timposey: Which password did you change, and which exact command are you using for "chown -R"? what are the missing arguments? | 21:33 |
| bekks | jan_: thats another implication. | 21:34 |
| KI7MT | jan_, sudo -E su .. shoudl keep the users env | 21:34 |

| widad | jan_, sorry internet | 22:10 |
| jan_ | what id do is use a cable to connec tto see if theres a problem with the connection. if its working via cable you could think about getting whatever proprietary driver there is for your wifi (maybe ubuntu does it over the interface? I dunno) | 22:11 |
| jan_ | justtacuse2 : u cannot: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=11316 | 22:11 |
| jan_ | widad try a cable, i hope that u have one. | 22:12 |

| n00b_dust | widad, quoting the obvious here, but can you check if your browser is configured to use a proxy? | 22:12 |

| jan_ | widad whats your wifi card? lspci -v | grep Wire | 22:14 |
| jan_ | im sorry justcause but we cant change it, steam starts to get some games but mostly using dualboot with some win7 is the best solution. | 22:15 |
| widad | jan_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6613953/ | 22:15 |
| anon12 | I have installed nvidia-current by running sudo apt-get install nvidia-current; from a terminal but, when I run: sudo modprobe nvidia_current; I get: FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found. | 22:16 |
| jan_ | hmm that didnt give the wireless card, maybe u need to look at just lscpi -v to find out which one u have | 22:16 |
| jan_ | oh...do u use some wifi stick? | 22:16 |
| widad | jan_, wifi stick? | 22:18 |
| jan_ | do you use an internal wifi on a laptop or some usb stick to get wifi? | 22:18 |

| loa | jan_, what version you have? | 22:19 |
| loa | bekks, 13.10 desktop | 22:19 |
| jan_ | loa im using 13.10 too, didnt have a crash u could tell us what crashes your ubuntu once a week and how cheap power is so u never turn the thing off:D | 22:20 |
| loa | on 12.04 i have uptime until i need update and reboot | 22:20 |
| loa | jan_, i am from russia, here everybody have cheap personal nuclear reactor. | 22:21 |
| jan_ | :D | 22:21 |
| jan_ | seriously i guess that 13.10 could be less stable then the lts, theres gonna be another lts soon. on the other hand i cant remember a crash so i had to reboot this year | 22:22 |
| widad | jan_, do you have any idea to solve my problem please? | 22:23 |
| jan_ | yes widad try the lscpi -v and search for the name of your wifi chip | 22:24 |
| jan_ | thats mine: Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [Condor Peak] | 22:24 |
| jan_ | Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 BGN | 22:24 |

| === mhammermeister is now known as MHFixxxer | ||
| jan_ | okay widad iv got to go now. just remember if somebody else tries to help u what your wifi card is and that the issue should be that the 11n protocol is causing problems | 22:34 |
| jan_ | good luck and i hope that it just solved it anyway:D | 22:34 |
| loa | ok, for example i now have fs on one partition, have crypted home folder, ubuntu 13.10, i want install 12.04 on another partition, but save my home folder location. | 22:36 |
| loa | how i can do this? | 22:36 |
| widad_ | jan_, it says "FATAL: Module iwlwifi is in use."but wasn't | 22:36 |
| jan_ | hmm i really dont know how to do more then -rf to unload a kernel module. its how far my knowledge goes. i feel positive that disabling the 11n with those two commands would help, theres a similar problem that some wifi cards have with a german router thats common | 22:38 |
| widad_ | jan_, i hate that i really enjoy ubuntu i have tugling between win7 and ubuntu | 22:40 |
| jan_ | you gotta try at some more frequented hours somebody will be able to help u disabling the 11n stuff | 22:40 |
| nashant | Hey guys. 2 questions. 1: does anybody know if there's a brightness indicator that integrates itself with the power indicator? And 2: is there anything that stops the screen turning off when watching videos (flash/html/vlc/whatever)? | 22:40 |
| jan_ | ah wait do you nknow how to configure your router? | 22:41 |
| jan_ | nashant : http://www.ohloh.net/p/Caffeine_applet | 22:41 |
| widad_ | jan_, no that's the problem i just begun to learn it at school | 22:42 |
| jan_ | its simply going to the web interface and then disable the wifi mode to something thjats not "n":D | 22:42 |
| widad_ | oh i'll try | 22:43 |
| widad_ | jan_, thanks | 22:43 |
| nashant | jan_: I think you have to enable/disable that yourself, don't you? I still want the screen to turn off if I fall asleep watching something, | 22:43 |
| jan_ | your welcome. have a nice day and happy christmas, chanukka, new year, the other new year and whatver you fancy:D | 22:44 |
| jan_ | nashant then u can make the duration to disable longer in the options | 22:44 |
| jan_ | performance-click the brighhness link at the bottom | 22:45 |
| jan_ | disable screen after inactive for: x minutes | 22:45 |
| jan_ | so it wont dimm but after like 30minutes its going off totally | 22:45 |
| jan_ | gotta go, bb:) | 22:45 |
| nashant | jan_: So you don't know of anything that does it all automatically? Watches for a video and disable screen off just while it's running? | 22:46 |
| DannyButterman | Hi there. This morning my ubuntu has begun to boot to command prompt. It seems nvidia_304 is not working anymore following the last updates. I can only use nvidia_173 (which is why I can be here). Can someone help me ? Am I the only one with this problem ? | 22:54 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| jhutchins | DannyButterman: You usually have to rebuild third party (Nvidia) drivers if you upgrade the kernel. Try booting to the old kernel, it should still work. | 23:03 |
| DannyButterman | jhutchins: I always use repos drivers over nvidia binaries because of this problem. So it's not the case here. Plus the symptoms are the same with all the older kernels. I'm totally clueless :s | 23:08 |
| nesoi | hello... I am about to set up an AWS instance with Ubuntu server, and I'm wondering why one would chose 12.04.3 vs 13.10 | 23:09 |
| bekks | DannyButterman: Did you boot into the new kerneland reinstall the nvidia drivers? | 23:09 |
| bekks | nesoi: Because 12.04 has a much longer support than 13.10. | 23:09 |
| nesoi | bekks : in terms of features or performance, is there a big difference? How about in terms of installing current software versions of things like Postgres, etc? | 23:10 |
| nesoi | or how about in terms of stability? | 23:10 |
| bekks | nesoi: Should be supported in 12.04 as well. 12.04 has a much longer support. | 23:10 |
| helpmeplease | hello, could someone help me real quick with a problem | 23:11 |
| nesoi | yes, I know it's an LTS, but I'm wondering about every other concern :) performance, installing current software versions of other software, stability, etc. | 23:11 |
| Lunar_Lamp | helpmeplease: don't ask to ask, just ask :-) | 23:11 |
| bekks | nesoi: Was already answered :) | 23:12 |

| === paulo is now known as Europe26 | ||
| jhutchins | helpmeplease: can you boot to rescue mode? | 23:14 |
| DannyButterman | bekks: that's what I first did. I switched from one kernel to another, one nvidia driver to another. The result is I must use nvidia_173 or 173_updates and any kernel. All other nvidia drivers don't work (boot to command prompt) | 23:15 |
| helpmeplease | I can go to recovery mode | 23:15 |
| bekks | DannyButterman: Then maybe newer versions do not support your FPU? | 23:15 |
| bekks | DannyButterman: *GPU | 23:15 |
| helpmeplease | how would I find out? | 23:16 |
| === andrea is now known as Guest53872 | ||
| helpmeplease | Also under windows 7 the ubuntu parition is showing up as a recovery parition | 23:17 |
| DannyButterman | bekks: that's my guess too. But there must be a way to downgrade the nvidia_304 drivers to their previous working state, isn't it ? | 23:17 |
| bekks | DannyButterman: you cant "downgrade a state". | 23:17 |
| jhutchins | helpmeplease: Windows does not understand other filesystems wihout help (third party drivers). | 23:18 |
| helpmeplease | jhutchins: what do you recommend I do? | 23:19 |
| DannyButterman | bekks: downgrade a driver actually, you know what I mean anyway don't you ? Sorry but English is not my mother tongue :s | 23:20 |
| DarkKnightCZ | hi, can i somehow disable that annoying search-when-type feature? (so when pressing L in folder it jumps right to first file starting with L instead of recursive search of every directory) | 23:20 |
| Guest53872 | ciao | 23:21 |
| jhutchins | You should be able to get to the grub menu - you might need to hold down shift as you boot - that should give you a console from which you can fix your video. | 23:21 |
| MonkeyDust | DarkKnightCZ maybe you find a usful option in dconf-editor | 23:21 |
| helpmeplease | I dont know if the video is my problem, I am running an intel GPU, and most people seem to have a problem with nvidias | 23:22 |
| jhutchins | helpmeplease: It's not clear whether you're talkiing about an ubuntu recovery mode or some windows thing. | 23:23 |
| DarkKnightCZ | MonkeyDust: thanks, i will look into it | 23:24 |
| jhutchins | helpmeplease: Are you running two different video cards? | 23:24 |
| helpmeplease | no I am not | 23:24 |
| munz | DarkKnightCZ: if u find the solution plz let me know :) | 23:25 |
| helpmeplease | Well I have a problem and two ways of fixing it, the problem to restate is when I start up ubuntu I get the logo for a brief second then it goes black, no sounds or anything else, I could try and fix it from the recovery menu or the grub or whatever, or I could uninstall and reinstall, however I cannot uninstall as under the disk management in windows 7 there is the C drive partition and a blank named partition which I cannot del | 23:26 |
| helpmeplease | so I cannot uninstall, I hope that clears it up more | 23:26 |
| jhutchins | helpmeplease: Then you're either running an Intel GPU or an Nvida GPU. | 23:26 |
| helpmeplease | yes | 23:27 |
| helpmeplease | I am running intel gpu, never said I was using a nvidia | 23:27 |
| jhutchins | Ah, so I see. | 23:27 |
| DarkKnightCZ | munz, MonkeyDust: hmm, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1164016 | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1164016 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "restore type-ahead find" [Medium,Triaged] | 23:27 |
| helpmeplease | So I either need to figure out how to delete ubuntu and then install again, or fix it from the grub or recovery mode | 23:27 |
| helpmeplease | so do you have any idea what I can do? | 23:28 |
| jhutchins | helpmeplease: My first question remains, can you boot the system into Ubuntu rescue/recovery mode. That determines if the base system is OK, or if you have a boot problem. | 23:28 |
| helpmeplease | yes I can do that | 23:28 |
| jhutchins | helpmeplease: If it boots to rescue mode, try adding nomodeset to the kernel boot parameters. It should boot to a console again. | 23:29 |
| nashant | Anyone know how I get a brightness slider in the power indicator? | 23:29 |
| helpmeplease | I added that to the quicksplash under the grub menu but it went black but had an underscore and could not do anything | 23:29 |
| helpmeplease | and when I went back to the grub after restarting it was no longer there | 23:30 |
| pulsar78 | so ive been googling the last 30 mins for a simple bootdisk, no gui just some basic tools dd/ps etc | 23:30 |
| pulsar78 | cant find anything under 100 mb | 23:30 |
| munz | wow DarkKnightCZ that kinda sucks | 23:31 |
| pulsar78 | anyone an idea ? | 23:31 |
| DarkKnightCZ | munz: yeeah... but there are solutions in comments (patching current version of nautilus) | 23:31 |
| helpmeplease | any ideas jhutchins? | 23:32 |
| munz | DarkKnightCZ: cool, i may patch it then, i like nautilus and dont really want to switch file browsers | 23:34 |
| DarkKnightCZ | yep, me too :) | 23:34 |
