ice9what is the best dock for unity?00:02
zykotick9!best | ice900:03
ubottuice9: 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.00:03
kostkonice9, unity has its own dock, why do you need another one00:03
ice9kostkon, because it's auto hide way is not smooth00:05

Sia-hi, i got HP 250 G1 with ubuntu 12.4 pre installed, but with each new upgrade to new version or any linux distro i'm getting blank screen. it's any way to edit or let the live cd booting?00:05
ice9kostkon, and i want a dock where i can click on the app icon to minimize the app00:05

ZiberI have a bunch of wifi networks in the area, is there a way to see what frequency the other networks are on to configure my wifi network accordingly?00:12
redGod|2Ziber: LinSSID will do that00:14
kostkonZiber, in terminal give: nm-tool00:14
ZiberDoesn't show the "channel" though.00:15
kostkonZiber, it shows the frequency00:15
ZiberOkay, how do "channels" match up with frequencies?00:15
kostkonZiber, channel numbers correpsond to specific frequencies00:15
ZiberWell, the frequency of all three networks in range (including mine) are ~2400 mhz00:16
kostkonZiber, then select a different channel00:17
ZiberI just did. No change in nm-tool's output.00:18
ZiberI had it on "automatic" before, now on 6.00:19
kostkonZiber, no idea, try another one, also try reconnecting to your router00:20
BeldarSia-, Are you using proprietary graphic drivers? your reference to the live cd is not clear.00:22
lysobitEver since installing Ubuntu, my laptop keeps randomly making this sound every minute or so (the one in the first second): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUt7BpsP8Ro00:23
Sia-Beldar every thing is from hp preinstalled with intel graphic00:23
lysobitAs if it's just booting00:23
bruce549Ziber: you might try IWscanner or wifiradar00:23
deadmundlysobit: Is that an actual recording of your computer?  Are you kidding?00:24
deadmundIt sounds _horrible_00:24
BeldarSia-, This a dual graphic an optimus?00:24
lysobitNo, just an example. Not my computer.00:24
lysobitThe sound is similar.00:24
lysobitThe same sound when it first boots00:24
ZiberHrm.00:25
deadmundlysobit: That recording sounds like the fans are 1000 years old and the grinding sounds like a hard drive ruining its platters.00:25
lysobitI dunno, but it's really ticking me off00:25
deadmundlysobit: If you boot into the bios, does it still make that noise?  What does the bios say the fan speed is??00:25
Sia-Beldar with the ubuntu lts 12.0 works perfect, because is edited the grub from HP. but can't install or boot Live CD i'll get BlankScreen00:26
BeldarSia-, You familiar with a nomodeset boot?00:26
lysobitdeadmund: yes, that sound is made everytime the power button is pressed. I don't think the BIOS says anything about fan speed00:26
Sia-Beldar from the kernel section?00:27
Jordan_USia-: Can you post the contents of /proc/cmdline from the working installation?00:27
lysobitdeadmund: maybe it could be do with power saving management/settings? I installed laptop-mode-tools00:27
zykotick9Sia-: i can't boot modern ubuntu or debian ISO/USB on 1 of my boxes, but using the same iso with unetbootin works.  just fyi, of my issue.00:27
deadmundlysobit: I think it's just a really old fan.  Maybe you can clean it with a can of compressed air?  If it's a desktop it'll be easier to clean.00:27
lysobitdeadmund: it doesn't happen on Windows00:27
deadmundlysobit: Sometimes linux has trouble setting the correct fan speed.  I'm not sure what that package does.  Maybe check the fan speed with linux00:27

ZiberWifi-radar doesn't close? :)00:29
deadmundlysobit: Here's a lengthy article from arch linux about fan control: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_Speed_Control   If you get confused about anything I can help translate from "arch" to "ubuntu" or to "lysobit" if it's necessary.00:29

DeSianok Jordan_U i'm her Sia--00:30
Beldarhyprvx, In general we don't recommend wubi here, that is the windows boot menu, have you tried to install more than once?00:30
hyprvxNo, should I?00:30

I have some progress in that im able to login but everything is running super laggy at 1% speed. cursor included. i went to dinner came back and desktop did fully load... but mouse is dead lagged, switching to tty1 takes forever. but after i switched back to 7 the mouse was unlagged for a bit then it lagged again00:39

ice9how to check if 3D hardware acceleration is enabled?00:44
deadmundice9: output glxinfo (at the top).  It's called "direct rendering"00:45
ice9deadmund, direct rendering is yes, that's it?00:46
deadmundice9:  I think so.00:46
ice9deadmund, and how can i know which driver it's using?00:47
deadmundice9: You can check the driver using sudo lspci -k00:47
deadmund(note, rebooting required for switching video drivers)00:47
deadmundHere is this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/150149/how-to-test-3d-acceleration  which tests if your hardware will / can run unity which isn't exactly 3D accel but it almost the same.00:47
zipacedeadmund: you don't have to reboot when switching/unloading/loading video drivers, restarting the X11 server is already enough00:51

kreugerbekks, are ya still here?01:29
ColdKeyboarddeadmund: I tried switching it to both positions and still nothing :\01:29
deadmundColdKeyboard: switch it to on, reboot, check the output of sudo rfkill list01:30
ColdKeyboardNew wifi module is AR242x/AR542x, driver ath5k01:30
ColdKeyboardok, I'll rebot it now01:30
deadmundColdKeyboard: model is irrelevant I think01:31
ColdKeyboardI'm newbie here so I don't know :)01:31
deadmundsure :)01:31
deadmundno worries :)01:32
kreugerMaybe someone else can help me01:32
ColdKeyboardIt says that wireless is still hard blocked :\01:32
ColdKeyboardFunny thing is that the LED for wifi is not glowing in ether position :\01:32
deadmundColdKeyboard: mmmmm01:32
ColdKeyboardBut the Lubuntu detects the wifi module01:32
deadmundColdKeyboard: switch it to the "on" position. Turn the machine off (not reboot, off actually).  Turn it on, if that doesn't work I have no idea.  Sounds physically broken in that case.01:33
ColdKeyboardIt was off before I turned it on but I will try it again01:34
ColdKeyboardIf this doesn't work I don't know what to do01:34
ColdKeyboardWhat does it even mean that it's hardware blocked?01:34
glitsj16ColdKeyboard: check your BIOS to see if you can unblock wifi or resetting it to factory settings01:34
deadmundColdKeyboard: do you mean the machine as off, or the switch was off.  (also, try doing the same thing, except assuming that the switch is labeled backwards and off is actually on)01:35
deadmundWorth a shot.01:35
deadmundgood idea!  Check the bios01:35
deadmundColdKeyboard: hardware blocked usually means the switch is set to off.01:35
ColdKeyboardmachine was off01:35
deadmundColdKeyboard: check the bios01:35
ColdKeyboardOk, I will try checking the bios and reversing the switch, separately01:35
deadmundDoes the card / switch work in windows?01:36
ColdKeyboardI don't know, I didn't try this card in win :\01:36
ColdKeyboardI added it after I installed lubuntu01:36
ColdKeyboardOk, now I have 0:phy0:Wireless LAN01:37
ColdKeyboardAnd both Soft and hard blocked are :no01:37
ColdKeyboardthat's good right?01:37
deadmundColdKeyboard: there ya go, the switch was backward (weird)01:37
deadmundThat's great!01:37
ColdKeyboardI didn't get to the switch thing, I just shut down the machine and turned it back on with switch in ON position01:37
deadmundColdKeyboard: oh01:37
ColdKeyboardBut I still don't see any wirelesss network :\01:38
deadmundColdKeyboard: sometimes it needs to be that way, linux probably doesn't listen for the signal of the switch turning on or something.01:38
deadmundColdKeyboard: sudo iwlist scan   does what?01:38
ColdKeyboardwlan0 No scan results01:38
ColdKeyboard:\01:38
deadmundColdKeyboard: it didn't see any networks.  Are you sure there is one?01:39
=== zapsoda is now known as Guest59518
ColdKeyboardYes, I'm on one right now and there are 2-3 other networks, at least01:39
deadmundmmmmmm01:39

ColdKeyboardiwconfig says that TX-Power=20dBm01:39
deadmundThe transmission power (of the card) is irrelevant01:40
BeldarColdKeyboard, It might worth having this link, try to add the actual release to the search. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=AR242x%2FAR542x+01:40

ColdKeyboard?01:40
=== bill is now known as Guest19912
deadmundColdKeyboard: wait... then what is AR242x/AR542x  ?01:41
deadmundColdKeyboard: yeah, we're concerned with the wifi section of sudo lspci -k  ( sorry, got confused by what you said) it should list a driver /  kernel modules01:42
ColdKeyboardLine above this one says: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x/AR542 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)01:42

kreugerOh right, sorry. So my issue is that I can't login. I don't get any display manager. When I try to load the terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 I just get a black screen and blinking cursor. I have a video on youtube if anyone wants to see01:46
kreugerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15qY4ugYUp4 is the video01:46
deadmundColdKeyboard: well??01:46
nictrasaviosI've had a problem recently where, whenever I drag a window to the top to maximize it, X locks up. No mouse, no keyboard. Even if I pkill from a terminal, nothing changes. The only thing I can do is kill X, and relogin.01:48
Beldarkreuger, what release is this and is that kubuntu?01:48
ColdKeyboarddeadmund: Still no results :\01:49
kreugerBeldar,  It was originally Xubuntu (which is why that wallpaper still shows) but I switched to LXDE as well as LightDM. I believe it's 12.10. I haven't been able to use it for about a yr though.01:49
Beldarhard to see the possible de in the video here01:49
deadmundColdKeyboard: mmmm the driver isn't working for that card.  Start searching online if there is any alternative.  Look up your card / current driver on linuxwireless.org and see what it says.01:50
Beldarkreuger, Have you tried a text boot or nomodeset? has there been a update since you tried to run it again?01:50
kreugerNo I haven't. I couldn't even get the grub menu before today. How exactly do I do that?01:51
Beldarkreuger, If you have not used it for a year might you consider a fresh install?01:51
kreugerBeldar,  No. Too much data to lose and no way to recover it.01:51
Beldarkreuger, you can recover data with a live cd, just a suggestion is all for ease of travel.01:52
nictrasavioskreuger, Buy an external or even a big flash drive, save it, and then reinstall?01:52
Beldar!nomodeset | kreuger01:52
ubottukreuger: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter01:52

=== Idle0ne is now known as IdleOne
Beldarkreuger, Like you would edit the kernel for nomodeset a text boot would be replace ”quiet splash” with "text" this is to see if their are errors or a stopage.01:55
kreugerSome of it is music too lol01:55
kreugeryeah Im trying nomodeset now01:55
kreugerok so I stuck that in, hit F10 and Im back to the Xubuntu splash screen01:56
Beldarkreuger, A black screen on the tty makes me think it is stopping early.01:56
kreugerwell I was trying to call up the terminal01:56
Beldarkreuger, f10 to do what?01:56
kreugerAfter I put in nomodeset it says press f10 to boot. Im wondering if it didnt save?01:57
Beldarkreuger, Ah right, I thought it was ctrl-x01:57
nictrasaviosIt saved if you typed it in, no worries there.01:57
kreugerI think that was to save01:57
Beldarkreuger, kernel changes there do not save on a reboot.01:58
kreugerAnother user was attempting to help me earlier. He said to check xsession-errors which was mostly blank. But I found run.log in ~/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/01:58
Beldarthat is a per-session01:58
kreugerShould I share that?01:58
Beldarkreuger, Wont help me, I'm not real up on logs.01:59
kreugerYa, it didnt save the nomodeset. Let me try it again02:00
Beldarkreuger, I think the continue boot after changing the kernel is crtl-x try the nomodeset and the text boot.02:00

Beldarkreuger, You can remove that code in that edit mode.02:04
kreugerThe very first two paragraphs on there seems to be my issue02:04
kreugerNo luck removing it :(02:06
Beldarkreuger, Your video never shows a login gui are you getting one?02:06
kreugerno I dont get one at all02:07
kreugerIt just sits there with that icon spinning02:07
Beldarkreuger, Try that text boot I think it's stopping before that maybe.02:07
kreugerIs that the same way?02:07
Beldarfreezing02:07
kreugerlike edit the grub conf?02:08
Beldarkreuger, replace no splash with text02:08
kreugerok02:08
kreugerwill it be verbose?02:08
Beldarkreuger, You are from the grub menu hitting e for edit correct?02:08
kreugeryep02:08
Beldarkreuger, not sure the definition of verbose, it just removes the gui and you see just text02:09
kreugeralthough, mine shows just splash, not "no splash"02:09
Beldarremove and put text there02:09
kreugerok02:10
kreugerWell I had a text login, now it's gone blank02:11
Beldarkreuger, I suspect the boot it freezing the text mode should show where.02:11
linuxuz3rzfs a good filesystem ot work on?02:11
kreugerAll I saw was my username then it went blank02:11
Beldarkreuger, That is not normal it should be showing code as it boots. I have to wonder with the desktop additions there was an error made by you. Did you try and remove any desktops?02:13
nictrasavioslinuxuz3r, It has some advantages. No real reason not to stick with ext4 though.02:13
kreugerYeah that would be the verbose I was talking about02:13
kreugerI just saw some text, then login came up and went blank again02:14
Beldarkreuger, Ah so you saw the login gui?02:14
kreugerNo. it was text login02:14
linuxuz3ris there support for rw for zfs on windows and mac02:14
nictrasavioskreuger, verbose: using or expressed in more words than are needed. Verbosity is not when text is displayed on your screen, it when *more*, like debugging messages and such is displayed. More than what is needed for normal operation. Booting is not verbose, because that text is always displayed and needed for normal operation, but many distrobutions hide it because regular users don't need it.02:15
Beldarkreuger, top left corner, like a tty?02:15
linuxuz3rnictrasavios, ok02:15
kreugerBeldar, yep02:15
kreugernictrasavios, My bad, thanks for that02:15
kreugerBeldar, Would another video help?02:16
Beldarkreuger, Might be as simple as grub needs a relod or update from a chroot in a live cd, kinda hard to tell by me, it's been a year since you used it, I doubt you remember everything you have done.02:16
DWSRAnyone that can help me with a Hyper-V problem? I'm exposing 10 disks to a Ubuntu VM via the SCSI controller, but Ubuntu only sees 5 of them.02:16
kreugerYeah. I just know that I had Xubuntu and switched to LXDE. I dont think I removed anything more than XFCE itself02:17
Beldarkreuger, Do you have a external to pull the stuff you need to using a love cd/usb? or enougfh HD space to just install alongside?02:17
Beldarlive* hehe02:17
kreugerNo I don't have an external I can use. I was thinking about installing beside it, but there's a lot of configuration i dont want to have to redo either you know?02:18
Beldarkreuger, If you had removed xfce correctly the boot splash would show lubuntu, hence my suspicions.02:18
kreugerwell i thought maybe it was something to do with LightDM. However, it worked long after I switched the DE. It started acting up around the time I upgraded to 12.1002:19
DWSRAnyone that can help me with a Hyper-V problem? I'm exposing 10 disks to a Ubuntu VM via the SCSI controller, but Ubuntu only sees 5 of them.02:19
Beldarkreuger, Honestly configurations should be easy as pie for you, not a wall stopping you. ;)02:19
nictrasaviosWhy not remove the GUI entirely, remove all of the base packages, and then reinstall the base GUI from a text-only system?02:19
kreugerThey are, its just time consuming. I basically just want it to work lol02:20
Beldarkreuger, Well not much I can do here sorry.02:20
kreugernictrasavios, I can't even get tty to come up02:20
kreugerBeldar, thanks anyways, maybe someone else can help02:20
nictrasavioskreuger, Then you're going to have to back up, reinstall, and unbackup. You messed up your system, and don't remember how. We can't really help that without spending hours, if not days.02:20

kreugerI never figured out what happened. Originally it seemed to be a video driver problem02:21
ColdKeyboardBeldar: Yes I did, I tried several of the solutions but seems like none of them work for me... :\02:22

ColdKeyboardI don't know what should I do. there is no options for wifi in bios02:26

ColdKeyboardand no, it didn't see any networks02:27
kreugerzykotick9, I was using nvidia drivers at one point but I'm not sure where they came from. I was using nvidia-settings to set my prefs at one time. I recall that at one point the newest driver wouldn't work. my xorg.conf shows nouveau I believe02:27

BeldarColdKeyboard, Mint's advantage are more drivers I believe, however not the support ubuntu has is all.02:30
somsipColdKeyboard: given how you're asking in the official ubuntu support forum, you will only get ubuntu advice here02:30
nictrasaviosBeldar, ColdKeyboard, Unless you're good at lying.02:30
Beldarnictrasavios, Not to hard to detect.02:30

ColdKeyboardBeldar: I know, just saying that I mean no harm or disrespect :)02:32
nictrasaviosBeldar, Its worked for me in the past. I've had mint problems (back when I used mint, I went back to stock due to well... pride and dislike of green) and asked here, and solved them.02:32
Beldarkreuger, If this was a graphic driver problem the nomodeset boot should get you in generally.02:33
kreugerfair enough02:33
Beldarnictrasavios, There are helpers who don't check releases yes.02:33
nictrasaviosBeldar, :D. I'm one of them, although I don't think I'm that good of a helper. I get distracted way to easy... Anyway, OT.02:34
kreugerMy only other option I guess is to check the xorg logs02:35

jackshaftAnd the only update you did was the GTH03:17
jackshaftGTK*03:17
alexkruppBeldar: Yes that was the only update... It just popped up as being recommended when I booted into the system today, so I installed it.03:18
Beldaralexkrupp, So your sure this is at the least a 12.04 and beyond install?03:19
alexkruppBeldar: Pretty sure... My sysadmin tried a bunch of different versions trying to get one to work with my hardware, but I'm pretty sure we settled with one of the newer versions03:20

SonikkuAmericasolarradiation: Depends on what it's written in. If it's C, you need GCC. If it's C++ you need G++. If it's Python, you need Python. etc., etc.04:42
solarradiationClientAlive: run "dpkg -l packagename" and look at the package versin04:42

kostkonClientAlive, apt-cache policy package_name04:43
solarradiationSonikkuAmerica: for example, flex may be needed for a source build but not for a binary installation04:44
SonikkuAmericasolarradiation: Why not first check for a PPA or for a .deb package containing the latest version?04:45
KI7MTsolarradiation, start off by installing build-essential .. then look into build-dep before compiling your package.04:45

SonikkuAmericasolarradiation: Hm. What software is this?04:45
ClientAlivesolarradiation: kostkon: Thanks. I think I just accidentally verified that it is the one fromt the 3rd party ppa ( via software center and it show the latest version - which ubuntu's repo does not have ). Thanks.04:45

AbhijitEromej, the first difference "should" be in laptop fan uses. its sound. and the comparatively cool air.04:45
solarradiationerrr... SonikkuAmerica04:45
KI7MTsolarradiation, well, who ever wrote it, knows the dependencies, and they should have some sort of install documentation.04:47
AbhijitEromej, once all drivers are installed properly, the load is divided between cpu and gpu. so fan uses drops. and less heat. depends on number of and type of applications you use though.04:47
BeldarClientAlive, The idea of using a ppa is a later version availability, check that when you load one04:47

user141423You probably need to look for a more specific error message, it should say what line/file it failed on.05:47
Abhijitpa5tabear, it should tell you what are the errors. scroll up.05:49

=== Guest49880 is now known as andrex
Abhijitpa5tabear, do you have g++ installed?05:52
user141423Try sudo apt-get build-dep nodejs. That should install the stuff you need to build Node.05:52
pa5tabear@Abhijit: I don't have it installed. I don't know what it is. I'm looking it up now05:52
Abhijitpa5tabear, do what user141423 said05:52
pa5tabear@user141423: Thanks, I'll try that. is that everything?05:52
user141423It should be, but I've never used node so I couldn't say for sure.05:53
Abhijitpa5tabear, g++ is c++ compiler.05:53
pa5tabear@Abhijit: I'm running the command user141423 gave. And does this guide seem fine to follow: http://ariejan.net/2011/10/24/installing-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-debian/?05:54

hkrim stupid06:28
justadudewhen i sshd -generate i get invalid login grace time06:29
justadudei was under the impression i needed to -generate keys before even starting ssh server06:29
linux-killed-meBeldar: the symptoms described in the links provided are pretty much the same. But it make the process to wait for X to start. If i connect within the console, and then launch startx, i have the same error. Maybe I'm abolutly wrong ?06:30
hkrlinux-killed-me, try sudo startkde06:31
Zerberakanyone know the command in 13.10 for testing whether the dhcp server is operational?06:31
xPucTu4justadude: when you start sshd, it should generate the keys if they does not exist.06:31

Beldarlinux-killed-me, I would try the nomodeset boot, but your welcome to reinstall if you like.06:35
justadudewould it be sshd -g?  i thought i saw that on the man page but i could be wrong06:35
xPucTu4just enter "sshd" without anything06:35

Nimblefor what it's worth, I have ubuntu 13.04 installed through the UEFI system, not legacy BIOS07:13

DJGummikuhhttp://pastebin.com/8CbY14nC07:21
DJGummikuhhere is what I have :)07:22
Nimbleyou're trying to mount an .img, right07:22
DJGummikuhwell yeah, technically. actually the file ending is .sd but "file ZT283.sd" suggests that it actually is an image (look at my paste)07:23
magsvhi all. I need to use 'nomodeset' to launch 13.04 properly everytime, otherwise a blank screen. Any fixes? (Intel Core i3 graphics)07:23
NimbleI'm not as versed in file system matters as I'd like to be07:25
DJGummikuhme neither :) which is why I came here07:25
Nimblebut I'm assuming it's formatted in FAT and not UDF from your paste07:25
DJGummikuhyes, it's fat07:25
DJGummikuhit's, after all, not a cd image :)07:25
magsvbump :(07:27
DJGummikuhwhat kind of sad bump was that?07:27
magsvneed to boot my laptop. But everytime I have to add 'nomodeset' in grub07:27
magsvgone crazy reading irrelevant matter online. so. :(07:28
DJGummikuhhe. your problem is not so far from mine :) I want to switch mount points in my tablet. But for that I need to be able to modify my boot image of the tablet07:29
DJGummikuhand my xubuntu seems uncapable of doing that... and the online help I found so far also is not very helpful07:29
magsv'not so far' haha you're light years away from me buddy07:29
DJGummikuhwell in regards to boot issues and not helpful documentation :)07:30
magsvwhy do you want to 'switch' mount points?07:30
DJGummikuhmy tablet has "sdcard0" and "sdcard1"07:30
DJGummikuhit puts everything on "sdcard0" which is, in fact, not a SD Card but some more internal space07:30
magsvandroid?07:31
DJGummikuhhowever I have a 32 gig sd card in it and want it to use that as its main memory07:31
DJGummikuhmagsv: yep07:31
NimbleI don't think you're gonna get away with that07:31
DJGummikuhI did07:31
DJGummikuhup until 10.1 cm had the vold.fstab where I could switch the mount points07:31
magsvrooted?07:31
Nimblewell, that's surprising07:31
DJGummikuhof course07:31
DJGummikuhNimble: note that I did NOT swap the "internal" storage07:31
Nimbleoh07:31
Nimbleok07:31
Nimblehave you tried just using mount?07:32
DJGummikuhthe internal "sdcard" is formatted FAT just like the external one07:32
Nimblemount -t umsdos ZT283.sd ~/your/preferred/folder/here -o loop07:32
magsvI remember on this old 2.3 I had written a script to tell android to use an ext partition as my internal07:32
magsvyou could try something like that.07:32
DJGummikuhNimble: umsdos is unrecognized07:32
magsv*might mess up everything already installed - so beware*07:32
Nimbleare you using these commands on your tablet?07:32
DJGummikuhmagsv: well the problem is that 10.2 replaces all those files at boot time from some obscure ram disk I fail to find07:33
DJGummikuhthis is why I want to access the boot image, to find the ramdisk there and replace the "faulty" scripts at the root07:33
DJGummikuhNimble: no07:33
DJGummikuhNimble: on my xubuntu netbook07:33
Nimbleanyway, there are three different filesystem drivers you can use to mount FAT07:33
Nimblehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_filesystem_and_Linux07:33
DJGummikuhI tried vfat07:33
NimbleI don't know which one will work for you the best07:33
Nimblemsdos?07:34
DJGummikuhuuhm... device-mapper: table: 252:0: loop1 too small for target: start=16065, len=7711200, dev_size=52307:34
Nimblelol07:34
Nimblewelp, good luck07:34
Nimbleyou've hit the limit of my filesystem knowledge07:34
DJGummikuhhaha lol :)07:35
DJGummikuhactually taht did not come from the mount command, seems that's the reason why kpart is failing..07:35
Nimbleah07:35
DJGummikuhthe mount command saysmount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error07:35
Nimblemaybe it's not really FAT?07:35
DJGummikuhno matter if I use msdos, vfat or whatever07:36
NimbleI know my nexus 4 uses a version of ext07:36
DJGummikuhwell the problem is: it's not07:36
Nimbleiirc07:36
DJGummikuhit's basically a hard disk07:36
DJGummikuhincluding a partition table07:36
Nimbleah, well07:36
DJGummikuhI can fdisk /dev/loop1 and get this:07:36
DJGummikuh/dev/loop1p1           16065     7727264     3855600    b  W95 FAT3207:36
Nimbleok, so it's a whole disk07:37
Nimblewith a fat partition on it07:37
magsvNimble: sidebar, how does one figure out the FS from a image? (sd in this case)07:37
NimbleI saw some things that said FAT in the paste DJGummikuh posted when he ran "file" on the file07:37
magsvoh ok.07:37
DJGummikuhmagsv: losetup /dev/loop1 imagefile and then fdisk /dev/loop107:37
DJGummikuhthat gives you the patition table of that image, which has the line I just posed 3 lines up (W95 FAT32)07:38

somsipdanato: instability?08:24
danatosomsip: what kind of instability?08:24
somsipdanato: the kind that comes from using alpha software08:25
danatosorry08:25
R1ckdanato: some packages may have been built against, and require, the later kernel header files08:25
R1ckdanato: so they might break08:25
danatoRick: so should I reinstall Ubuntu or update to the latest kernel? which is also an alpha08:26
R1ckdanato: well, do you want to run alpha?08:26
danatoRick: I dont know how instable is it at this point, I jst booted and was able to connect, but I ddnt test it much08:27
R1ckdanato: oh, I'm confused how you "accidentally" update to 14.04 :) but I figure it should be quite stable at this point08:28
Beldardanato, #ubuntu+1 is the 14.04 channel08:29
somsipdanato: R1ck there is 'stability' like things run without crashing, and compatibility where new things work fine. I'm finding it's stable, but there are incomplatibilities with packages that aren't fully integrated yet. You may be lucky, or maybe not. And yes, +1 is the place to be08:29

Roryiivvoo: It is possible, there's a blog post by someone here http://johan.cc/2012/02/06/nagios-nginx/11:56
llutziivvoo: nagios recommends "httpd" so there should be no problem to install it with nginx or lighttpd11:56

trijntjewhat can I do to install ndiswrapper on 13.10?11:59
iivvooThe following extra packages will be installed:  apache2-mpm-prefork (etc..)11:59
iivvoowhile "nginx is already the newest version."12:00
mikubuntullutz: why does that page you gave me say to format to ntfs --- isnt the usb supposed to be formatted fat32?12:00
KI7MTiivvoo: there's several how-toos for Nginx + Nagios but most are showing that they compile nagios v.s. using apt to install it. Postgress shoudl be straight foreward.12:01
trijntjemikubuntu: using unetbootin is much simpler, you can install it from the software center12:01
MonkeyDustiivvoo  same here, i added --simulate and it says it installs apache12:02
iivvooKI7MT, I'm not depending on LTS to build my own packages :)12:02
iivvoothe post on johan.cc on this topic is rather trivial, "install nginx and nagios3, do some config"12:03
mikubuntutrijntje: i just opened unetbootin, but it doesn't have adriane-knoppix in the drop down12:03
iivvooif it were that easy...12:03
trijntjemikubuntu: no, you have to download the iso yourself, and then select it from disk in unetbootin12:04

hans__mis i java on my system its a new install12:57
hans__its a long time ago that i hat ubuntu12:58
mikubuntuchuzgrutz: that is a rough translation of the word ubuntu -- 'i am who i am, because of who we all are,' meaning that it is built on community effort12:58
uBUXUBuand it says my graphics is unknown under system details-gives me the impression its not using my radeon 557012:58
uBUXUBuubuntu=for the good of all people12:59
trijntjebekks: I've copied the firmware files, but I'm not sure what I have to do next. The page doesnt have any more steps as far as I can tell, and wireless is not working13:01
chuzgrutzoh ok my mistake13:03
chuzgrutzdoes ubuntu support dogecoin13:03
uBUXUBushould i try 64bit ubuntu 1204? i have 32 bit now13:03
uBUXUBui have 4gb ram13:03

andyfiedi have instructions13:04
chuzgrutzplz link13:04
RienzillaHey all. I just installed ubuntu 12.04 as a guest OS under centos (kvm/libvirt). The guest installs fine, but it doesn't boot. It hangs after adding swap. Is this a known issue?13:05
jdmhow are the security updates to Ubuntu?13:05
jdmare they daily like microsoft windows?13:05
andyfiedchuzgrutz: http://b.agilob.net/such-address-many-dig-on-linux-wow/ there is a bit that mentions zypper, just ignore that13:05
=== jacky is now known as Guest81139
jdmdo i need to reboot for all of them?13:05
jdmor most, etc?13:05
chuzgrutzwow thanks clicking13:05
cfhowlettuBUXUBu, if your machine can support 64 bit, try it13:05
cfhowlettjdm, no13:05
trijntjejdm: security updates are daily, other updates every two weeks. Its very rare to have to reboot after updates13:06
trijntjebtw, windows doesnt have daily updates13:06
uBUXUBuitdoes support 64 bit13:08
cfhowlettuBUXUBu, ?  torrent 64 bit and install ...13:09
uBUXUBucfhowlett, should run a lil faster huh13:09
uBUXUBuits pretty fast now actually13:09
cfhowlettuBUXUBu, debatable ...13:09
uBUXUBubut i know in 64 bit it will use all the ram13:09
uBUXUBusnappy now though13:09
trijntjeuBUXUBu: 32bit also uses all the ram, check you system monitor13:10
uBUXUBuwell i have 2gb ram now but i ordered a set of new ram (4 1 gig sticks) so i should have 64 bit to let ubuntu see it all right?13:11
trijntjeno, ubuntu can use more than 4GB ram with 32 bit, due to some trick I dont know ;)13:11
uBUXUBufor some reason its running like a sunburnt indian as it is though13:11
bekksuBUXUBu: You just have to use a PAE kernel.13:11
trijntjeI run 32bit and I have 4G ram available13:12
uBUXUBuwow13:12
Go|dfish_!ops13:12
cfhowlettuBUXUBu, colorful AND offensive.13:12
uBUXUBuwhat is the benefit of staying with 32 bit?13:12
bekksuBUXUBu: None?13:12
uBUXUBuso there is no benefit13:12
Go|dfish_how do i get a booty like kim kardashian?13:13
ItsMeLennyhow would i go about launching the i386 version of a program when i have both it and the 64bit version installed13:13
uBUXUBuso i think u mean that going to 64 bit is no benefit unless i install an awful otta ram13:13
uBUXUBulot of*13:13
ItsMeLennyif you have 4gb or more of ram you should go 64bit13:13
bekksuBUXUBu: No. your question was: "Is there a benefit in staying with 32bit?" - The answer was: "no."13:13
Go|dfish_how do i get a booty like kim kardashian?13:13
ItsMeLennyalthough i have 64bit on my netbook which has 1gb of ram13:14
uBUXUBui have read that 64 is snappier13:14
bekksuBUXUBu: Even with less than 4GB RAM you shoudl go with 64bit.13:14
uBUXUButhats is what i thought bekks13:14
andyfiedyeah, i got 2gb and i'm on 64bit13:14
trijntjebekks: I've followed the link you sent and copied the firmware files and rebooted, but I still have no wireless13:14
uBUXUBua year or so ago ubuntu techs would recommend 3213:14
uBUXUBui guess its more compatible now13:15
andyfiedbut i'm running lubuntu cos i think full flavour ubuntu might make it sluggish13:15
bekkstrijntje: Did you check the functionality of the driver, like is it loaded, whats the dmesg output, etc. or did you just copy&paste?13:15
cfhowlettandyfied, vanilla ubuntu would almost certainly clog your 2 gigs of ram13:15
ftpset chroot_local_user=YES, but can not restrict user to the virtual root directory, it still can change to /, what is the reason13:15
fowlandyfied, im running ubuntu ultralite 100s for the same reason13:15
uBUXUBui tried lubuntu and its nice but its seemed to be the same speed as ubuntu or awfully close13:15
bekksuBUXUBu: teh devs recommend that since there stilll are 32bit only machines out there.13:15
uBUXUBuok cool im glad thats the only reason bekks13:16
trijntjebekks: what do you mean? I went here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211 and followed the instructions13:16
ItsMeLennyhow would i go about launching the i386 version of a program when i have both it and the 64bit version installed13:16
andyfiedi wasn't even going to bother with a DE, but now i'm kind of glad i did13:16
uBUXUBuwell when my 4 gb ram get here ima switch to 64 then13:16
jdmtrijntje: some days it seems like it13:16
uBUXUButhis might be a nice lil boost13:16
andyfiedonly because i like to look at gkrellm :)13:16
jdmtrijntje: i have a question since i havent used linux full time in years13:17
uBUXUBui was thinking of making my page file ram 8gb...since ima have 4gb ram? is that enough?13:17
ftpchroot_local_enable=YES, it has no effect13:17
bekkstrijntje: there are instructions for two drivers on that page. Whichc one did you follow?13:17
jdmtrijntje: can i do a very small ubuntu install, copy files over to the linux partition and then gradually resize the partitions giving linux more space?13:17
ftpvsftpd.conf13:17
bekksubottu: ubuntu has no page file. Ubuntu has swap. And 4.1GB are enough when having 4GB RAM.13:17
ubottubekks: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)13:17
bekksuBUXUBu: ubuntu has no page file. Ubuntu has swap. And 4.1GB are enough when having 4GB RAM.13:18
imghostbekks, trijntje am back prblem solved?13:18
uBUXUBubut i had a crazy idea....install no swap BUT buy a fast flash drive and make that the swap ram??13:18
ftpchroot_local_user=YES, chroot_list_enable=YES and chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list13:18
bekksuBUXUBu: what is "the swap ram"?13:19
gordonjcpuBUXUBu: no13:19
uBUXUBuwont work huh gordonjcp ?13:19
ftpubuntu 13.1013:19
gordonjcpuBUXUBu: flash has a limited number of write cycles.  Using it for swap is a bad idea13:19
trijntjebekks: Im not sure, that page is really unclear13:19
mvk1i've made a script, that can automatically set the brightness of your laptop, using your webcam and new technique i'm trying out (using a halo mask)13:19
bekksgordonjcp: It was, a decade ago. Nowadays you wont ever reacg that technical limit during your lifetime.13:19
mvk1https://github.com/mvklingeren/ambient-light-sensor-emulation13:20
mvk1anyone willing to try it out?13:20
=== Krock164 is now known as SmallJoker
imghosttrijntje, what page?13:20
uBUXUBubummer13:20
bekkstrijntje: The page is perfectly clear, it is divided into the instructions for two drivers. Which one did you follow?13:20
gordonjcpbekks: you will if you beat the shit out of it with swap13:20
uBUXUBusounded like it might make it run faster13:20
mvk1i could use some people testing it..13:20
cfhowlettmvk1, let's see; NSA/FBI are monitoring people via webcam and you want me to try your script?  SURE ...13:20
bekksgordonjcp: You wont. :)13:20
gordonjcpno-one uses swap any more anyway13:20
uBUXUBuwell i hope i dont use the swap13:21
bekksgordonjcp: Thats nonsense. Everyone who uses hibernation uses swap.13:21
uBUXUBui just make it just in case13:21
trijntjebekks: I did the brcmmac drivers because for brcmfmac  the instructions only say 'for usb driver no nvram file is needed'13:21
bekkstrijntje: your chipset requires the brcmfmac driver, not the brcmmac13:22
uBUXUBui noticed...even if u do not make a big swap ubuntu will force feed u a small swap (like about a half a gig)13:22
raj1991rajis there a command line dictionary for ubuntu 12.1013:22
bekkstrijntje: And you cite just states that no nvram file is needed.13:22
cfhowlettraj1991raj, man man13:22
raj1991rajcfhowlett: what13:22
trijntjebekks: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211#Broadcom_brcmfmac_driver13:22
cfhowlettraj1991raj, terminal command: man man13:22
bekkstrijntje: Yes, and?13:23
bekkstrijntje: Did you follow the instructions there?13:23
uBUXUBuif someone could engineer a flash drive that can handle millions of writes my idea would work then prolly13:24
raj1991rajcfhowlett: i want a dictionary that would be command line. not a manual page for man13:24
trijntjebekks: where does it mention which files I need to copy:? it only says 'the firmware can be found ni the repository'13:24
bekkstrijntje: Like providiing the sdio driver firmware, etc? And whats the full output of dmesg?13:24
bekkstrijntje: Just read the full section...13:24
bekkstrijntje: Three lines down...13:24
raj1991rajcfhowlett: an eglish to english dictionary13:24
raj1991rajenglish*13:25
trijntjebekks: I must be stupid or blind, because I dont see anything for my chipset, BCM4323513:25
bekksuBUXUBu: Current flash drives can handle that much writes...13:25
uBUXUButhen why cant i make a fast flash drive a swap drive?13:25
VitoCorleonebekks, windows or ubuntu.13:25
bekksVitoCorleone: Doesnt matter what I am using ;)13:26
raj1991rajno one knows ?13:26
bekkstrijntje: Did you install the package from the repos mentioned?13:26
bekkstrijntje: And do you mind to answer my previous questions?13:26
trijntjebekks: I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry. I dont see anything about packages on that page13:27
VitoCorleonebekks, if you were running away from the police, and you had to use a OS, would you rather use ubuntu or windows 8?13:27
VitoCorleone;)13:27
bekkstrijntje: "The firmware can be found in the linux-firmware repository."13:27
bekksVitoCorleone: Doesnt matter for Ubuntu support in here.13:27
cortexA9hello i have one question, i think grub doesn't start on my system. Is it possible to use the boot manager of windows to boot ubuntu ?13:28
VitoCorleonebekks; answer my question please.13:28
VitoCorleonebekks, your job is to answer questions that are given to you.13:28
cfhowlettcortexA9, possible but something of a PITA to set up13:28
bekksVitoCorleone: Ignore set.13:28
cfhowlett!attitude|VitoCorleone,13:28
ubottuVitoCorleone,: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines13:28
=== vito_ is now known as Guest44579
trijntjebekks: yes, and that repository contains hundreds of files, which one do I need?13:28
mvk1cfhowlett, you can see that the SH script uses generally available tools (on Ubuntu)13:28
VitoCorleonecfhowlett; what is a volunteer?13:29
VitoCorleonewhat is the difference between a helper and a volunteer?13:29
mvk1cfhowlett, https://github.com/mvklingeren/ambient-light-sensor-emulation/blob/master/autobright.sh13:29
cortexA9because i wanna dual booting ubuntu.13:29
=== Krock164 is now known as SmallJoker
bekkstrijntje: "linux-firmware" is a package name. ;)13:29
cfhowlettmvk1, I stopped responding to your query because I don't know.  Thanks for the links but ... I still can't help.  Sorry.13:30
cortexA9and i don't want lost my windows partition13:30
mvk1cfhowlett, you see this last line, rm /tmp/snap00001.png13:30
mvk1cfhowlett, that means, right after getting luminance values, the image is deleted13:30
cortexA9*lose13:30
cortexA9sry13:30
mvk1cfhowlett, being alert these days is of course required13:31
mvk1thats more then true and sad13:31
trijntjebekks: you mean a .deb package?13:31
cfhowlettmvk1, right.  cool.  Thanks.  I'm not touching that script with a 10 foot pole.  But rest assured, someone less paranoid than me will be happy to help you.13:31
trijntjebekks: from the ubuntu repository?13:32
bekkstrijntje: Yes.13:32
mvk1cfhowlett, dont be so frikin paranoid =]13:32
trijntjebekks: then why the hell have I been spending 30 minutes trying to figure out what to do whith the info on that kernel.org page?13:33
cfhowlettmvk1, sounds just like "Trust us, we're the gov't and we're here to help you."13:33
cortexA9so i need a similiar wubi tool..13:33
trijntjebekks: linux-firmware is already installed13:33
cortexA9*similar13:33
cortexA9that works13:34
cortexA9with windows 713:34
cfhowlettcortexA9, stop.  you  ARE aware that wubi is, by design, a TESTING platform and NOT a long-term installation method, right?  and since it's running under windows, when windows breaks your wubi, there IS no fix.13:34
bekkstrijntje: Then answer my previous questions, like pastebin dmesg finally, etc.13:34
cortexA9yea cfhowlett13:35
cortexA9i need an alternative13:35
uBUXUBuive used wubi...works nice for awhile (and i mean that literally)13:35
uBUXUBuafter awhile...boot issue tend to crop up13:35
cfhowlettcortexA9, 2 alternatives.  A: dual boot.  B: virtualbox inside windows, put ubuntu in the Vbox13:35
trijntjebekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6623235/13:35
uBUXUBumy fav way is to install 2 HD's....one with windows one with ubuntu13:37
uBUXUBuvboxes run slow with bad graphics13:37

trijntjebekks: http://pastebin.com/kiimJQZF13:38
MonkeyDustuBUXUBu  you dislike *everything* about ubuntu, i wonder why you stick to it13:39
cortexA9i have windows 7.13:39
uBUXUBuno i love ubuntu MonkeyDust13:39
cortexA9right now13:39
uBUXUBui just get mad when stuff doesnt work right or read out correctly13:39
cortexA9but i dont know if i can boot with grub..13:39

bekkstrijntje: And whats the output of "sudo lsmod"?13:40
trijntjebekks: http://pastebin.com/9vVwDihc13:41
bekkstrijntje: Well,for using the driver, you should modprobe it.13:42
cortexA9i need a confirm if i can use wubi with windows 7..13:43
cortexA9or not13:43
cfhowlettcortexA9, wubi "works" with win713:45
trijntjebekks: I ran sudo modprobe brcmfmac, dmesg shows: [ 2031.389423] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac13:45
trijntjebut still no wireless13:45
uBUXUBuwubi works good with w7, always install w7 1st...but afterawhile wubi gets screwed up...works good fora a few weeks sometimes a few months13:45
uBUXUBunice thing about wubi is it unistall perfectly and completey in w7...even cleans out the registry and files system all with its own uninstaller13:46
cfhowlettcortexA9, you have your reasons for wubi, but be aware that support for same has already been cut back and the project itself is on life support13:46

xubuntu287Hi, can anyone help me to install radeon hd drivers in my notebook?13:51
xubuntu287Notebook: hp g62 GPU: radeon hd 5470 / intel graphic13:52
cortexA9i mean if i want to upgrade 12.04 to 12.10 or 13.04..13:52
xubuntu287I've tried it in many ways but just doesn't work13:52
uBUXUBuhah i just did that xubuntu28713:52
cortexA9is it possible ?13:52
uBUXUBumine is 5570 radeon13:52
xubuntu287How?13:53
bekkscortexA9: you can - but waiting for 14.04 and then updating directly 12.04 -> 14.04 is more sensible13:53
uBUXUBuby using the built in proprietary driver search in ubuntu13:53
denniz123456hello13:53
uBUXUBubut it was confusing cuz it say in terminal i have the 5570 but in system says unknown13:53
uBUXUBubut it seems to be working13:54
uBUXUBumy videos and game runs well13:54
xubuntu287Yeah I already did that but the computer get heated a lot13:54
cfhowlettdenniz123456, greetings13:54
xubuntu287so I assumed that it was not working13:54
uBUXUBudid it offer 2 choices xubuntu287 ?13:55
uBUXUBui tried the experimantal driver but ended up using the other driver13:55
xubuntu287I can't remember13:55
uBUXUBurun it again13:55
xubuntu287ok thanks13:55
cortexA9ok thanks bekks13:55

shazHi13:59
shazAny1 here?14:00
Pacyhi sha14:00
shazI hav ubuntu 13.1014:00
shazNd sumhow its wifi nd audio got disabled14:00
Pacyhi shaz what message is it announcing?14:01
shazFor audio i tried pulse-audio restart. Dat shows no output14:01
shazNd for wifi i tried rfkill unblock all14:01
shazNo output14:01
Pacyshaz actual no output is expected14:02
shazSo??14:02
Pacyshaz, but it would be fixed after running the command14:02
Pacyshaz, Is it written that wireless disabled by hardware switch?14:03
MonkeyDustwhat's "nd"?14:04
shazIts showing ethernet network disconnected, its a disabled selection14:05
shazPossibly, bcoz the wifi indicator light is also off14:06
Pacyshaz, don't you have a switch that might be switched off?14:07
trijntjebekks: and?14:08
njsgis there some way to get other icon themes for libreoffice (especially the old default theme?)14:08
shazI tried switching it on, wifi indicator light doesnt glow. It works fine in windows though14:08
MonkeyDustnjsg  better try #libreoffice, i guess14:08
njsgMonkeyDust: I am not sure, I remember libreoffice at home (other distro) does have a high contrast theme, but I don't see it here (ubuntu), so I wonder if there's some package for that in ubuntu14:09
njsgMonkeyDust: in fact there are several theme packages in ubuntu, so this is definitely an ubuntu thing14:10
njsgMonkeyDust: yes, # apt-get install libreoffice-style-galaxy14:10
njsgand now I have the theme I was looking for14:10
iivvooI'm in a rather minimal ubuntu 12.04 system (a docker image actually). locale is being a pain, as always but nothing seems to resolve it. No matter what locale-gen, dpkg-reconfigure locales, apt-get install langauge-base-en I do, I keep getting "warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_GB.utf8)"14:11
* njsg wonders, on second thought, if he shouldn't have just searched for it before bugging the channel :-P14:11
iivvoo(did you know postgresql fails to install properly if your locale is messed up?)14:11
njsgiivvoo: are you setting the locale for the user where you get the error?14:11
njsgiivvoo: can you pastebin the output of "locale -a"?14:12
njsgiivvoo: and which locale do you *want* to be enabled?14:12
iivvoonjsg: en_GB would be fine14:12
iivvooeven en_US fails14:12
shazPacy??? U there?14:12

njsgshaz: no14:13
iivvoonjsg http://paste.ubuntu.com/6623416/14:13

koellIs it a good idea to have different paritions on a NAS?14:15
iivvoohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6623426/14:15
trijntjebekks: what should I do next to get my wifi to work?14:18
njsgiivvoo: if you just run locale, do you see any similar error message?14:18
njsgiivvoo: it should show error messages if the current locale can't be applied14:18
iivvoono, I can't quite explain when I get the error and when not14:19
njsgiivvoo: which tool gives you the error?14:19
iivvooperhaps my locale is actually setup properly right now but postgresql still fails to install14:19
iivvootrying again now14:19
njsgiivvoo: at first sight, this seems to be some other problem, either a problem in other software that can't find the locale, or some other unlreated error14:19
njsgiivvoo: and make sure you login from a login screen after changing environment variables (such as the ones that control the locale), otherwise programs will be running with the old variables14:21
njsgiivvoo: if you're unsure about that, try rebooting if you didn't yet14:21

mmazingnafg: http://pastebin.com/GWAN865r was the exact packages i removed17:25
karstensrageit always tries update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-57-generic-pae and fails due to no disk space17:26

KamuelaI can get over a problem I'm having, I'd just like to know an opinion on whether or not it's hurting my display. Basically, my screen flickers with a lagging mouse cursor, but only when the screen is black. Any time the screen isn't black, there's no flickering except for on the edges of the screen where Ubuntu has a black border, like the top titlebar.17:39
Mark_de_JIs there a way to fix the problem?17:40

Mark_de_JYes, but I got no cable here at home17:42
panda_madnessHello! I have a little problem with ubuntu. When I'm on windows I use my dedicated graphics card (nVidia gtx 670) for my main monitor, and Intel integrated graphics (Intel hd 4000) for my second monitor. When I boot into ubuntu (13.10) with the default nouveau driver, it also works as it does in windows, both monitors are detected and working correctly. However, if I install any version of the nvidia linux drivers (both from the17:42
panda_madnessrepo and from their site) my secondary monitor stops being detected, and only the main one works. I have searched for a solution online but have not found a definitive answer. Could use some help.17:42
Mark_de_JI got only wifi here, can I fix it then?17:43
MonkeyDustMark_de_J  we have to know if it's a WAN or a LAN issue17:43
Mark_de_JWAN = No cable?17:43
Mark_de_JLAN = Cable right? That is working fine.17:44
MonkeyDustwan = internet, lan = connection between pc and router17:44
MonkeyDustMark_de_J  then it's a wifi issue, not an internet issue17:44
Mark_de_JAnd how to fix?17:44

phelixis it possible to run crontab manually and have it output to the display what is happening? Just trying to check to see the scripts in there are running properly17:49

gazarsgowhat does init 6 do that shutdown -r now doesn't ?17:50
lickalottphelix have an entry in the script that outputs to a log file17:50
phelixcan i just add like 1> ./file.log ?17:51
lickalottinit 6 is a restart (root) command level17:51

BrianHI have a problem with the workspace switcher that I'd like to fix if possible.  I run virtual machines on my Ubuntu box through VirtualBox, and when a VM is in full screen and goes idle, after reaccessing the system a user can use the workspace switcher to see everything else running on a system without hitting the Ubuntu lock screen.17:51
lickalottgazarsgo are you forcing the shutdown of the ubuntu VM or the host windows?17:52
user101hi17:52
BrianHIs there a way to fix this so that the user will need to enter the system credentials before using the workspace switcher?17:52
phelixwill cron run everything in order? If i need one script to run before the next one will work properly, will putting one before the other work? It doesn't run multiple scripts at the same time?17:52
gazarsgolickalott: the ubuntu VM… i guess whatever was wedged unwedged, because it finally bounced17:52
gazarsgothe host is xen in my case17:52
lickalottnot quite sure of your problem BrianH17:52
gazarsgothanks for the pointer on init 617:53
lickalottit will initiate in order phelix, but you're timing of the cronjob will need to be there as well.17:53
lickalottnp gazarsgo17:53
BrianHlickalott: the problem is that the system is idle and would normally require a password to unlock, but if a VM is left full screen beforehand, the user can use the host's workspace switcher to see the entire system.17:53
user101can someone throw me a script together to auto delete all logs on shutdown17:54
lickalottso the "timeout" for screen lock isn't propigating to the VM BrianH?17:54
phelixok so script a is before script b. Script b will not start running until script a is done correct?17:54
user101ubuntu m00b17:54
lickalottwait 1 user101, I'll HELP, but not write it for you17:54
user101thanks !17:54
eddlemonGreetings. I am running Ubuntu Studio. I am able to hear MIDI files in my headphones but no other sounds. Any advice?17:55
llutzuser101: put your /var/log into tmpfs [x]done17:55
lickalottphelix if you've timed it correctly.  just out of curiosty, why not have it run within the same script with a loop or sleep function17:55
phelixlickalott Probably a better idea.17:56
lickalottuser101 what are you trying to delete?17:56
user101just all the every log that is generated17:56
BrianHlickalott: not to the VM, but the host itself.  If the host goes idle with a VM in full screen, the host never asks for credentials if the VM was fullscreen beforehand.  It allows the user to access the VM without entering the hosts credentials.  The problem is that the user can use the hosts workspace switcher to see the entire host system without ever entering the hosts credentials.17:56
lickalottuser101 i.e. /var/*log*?17:56
trijntjeuser101: why not mount /var/log as tempfs (ie in RAM), that way the logs will automatically disappear when you shutdown. No messy scripts needed17:56
user101so /var/log in the temp? shouyld do it?17:56
lickalotthrrmmmm BrianH, I'd have to dig on that17:57
user101whats the advantage of doing it anyway17:57
llutzuser101: tmpfs is in RAM which is cleared at reboot. nothing left, logs gone17:57
calvinist!ops17:57
trijntjeuser101: tempfs, not temp. You can find instructions online17:58
lickalottthat's the easiest user101 (what trijntje and llutz said)17:58
user101ok thanks17:58
BrianHMaybe I can try screen recording it.  I'll just have to set the hosts idle timeout to be really short to show it.17:58
llutzuser101: just keep in mind that this will make error-handling harder, because you never have any logs after a reboot to check17:58
lickalottcan you edit the screen lock timeout for a shorter time BrianH?17:59
lickalotti'm not sure what the workspace switcher is.  i'm assuming scrolling between the workspaces on the desktop but i may be mistaken based on the description of your issue.17:59
BrianHlickalott: Ubuntu's workspace switcher18:00
lickalottuser101 agree with llutz.  why do you want to delete those logs?  They may serve a purpose one day18:00
lickalottthat's what I thought.  So if the ubuntu VM were to initiate a screen lock within a certain amount of time would that solve your issue BrianH18:01
BrianHlickalott: the VM is not Ubuntu, it's a Windows 8 VM.  The host is Ubuntu.18:02

MonkeyDustcarmineUbuntu  12.04 is good, stick to it, but is it server or desktop edition?20:13
carmineUbuntuMonkeyDust: desktop edition - but no desktop for me :)20:13
lickalottdoesn't help.  Server and Desktop both come in LTS forms.  when you boot do you come into a terminal like environment that takes up your entire screen?20:13
lickalottis this what you used = ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso20:14
carmineUbuntulickalott: when I reboot I just have a blank screen instead of a login (like xdm - kdm)20:14
carmineUbuntuno lickalott wait I have to go on the windows pc to check the file name20:14
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: Do you have the usual consoles?  Ctrl-Alt-F1?20:15
lickalottthis seems to be happening a lot lately.  My recco has been to throw a gparted livecd in, format the hdd ext3 and re-install.20:15
lickalottthe other things tied to this issue have to do with UEFI bios and junk20:16
lickalottcarmineUbuntu was there a previous kernel installed on the target harddrive20:16
carmineUbuntulickalott: the file is ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso20:17
carmineUbuntulickalott: no I am using the whole hard disk to have ubuntu on it20:17
lickalottthen i would focus on the target hard drive.  format with gparted (you can either use the ubuntu live CD or gparted live CD).  Format to ext3 and try to re-install20:18
OerHeks!nomodeset20:18
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter20:18
jhutchinslickalott: Reformatting is usually not a standard method to fix a bad xorg config.20:19
carmineUbuntulickalott: reinstall ? it was a blank hard disk and.. I am in bash at the moment and... I just entered my password and my location nothing more... the whole process was done by the CD20:19

carmineUbuntulag20:19
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: I don't think you should reinstall quite yet.20:19
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: It sounds like you simply have a video driver problem.  Do you see anything at boot?  Can you get to a console?20:20
carmineUbuntujhutchins: this is my very first time in ubuntu and... I dunno if it's using nvidia-drivers or nouveau20:20
lickalottif you can get in with a shell, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and pastebin it20:20
carmineUbuntujhutchins: well I did Alt+Ctrl+F1 and I am here from irssi20:20
jhutchinslickalott: By default there is no xorg.conf20:20
carmineUbuntujhutchins: but in Alt+Ctrl+F7 I have nothing20:20
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: Excellent.  No need to reinstall.20:20

ubottuFor Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto20:21

carmineUbuntuyeah I have a nvidia geforce 740m20:21
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: If you append nomodeset to the kernel parameters at boot you _might_ get a GUI with the vesa driver.20:21
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: Yeah, x is running but not correctly.20:21
carmineUbuntujhutchins: ok using vesa or uvesa .. and what about nouveau or nvidia proprietary drivers ?20:22
carmineUbuntujhutchins: at the moment I don't really know how to manage ubuntu :D i am like a virgin20:22

carmineUbuntuCalinou: i was used to portage... emerge -avt nvidia-drivers and game over20:23
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: If you don't have another system to surf from there's a console-based browser called lynx, and it renders the Ubuntu help pages pretty well since they're text based.20:24
Calinouinstalling drivers on your PC is complicated because of Optimus20:24
Calinoublame NVIDIA's poor, very poor support for that technology on GNU/Linux20:24
jhutchins!optimus20:24
Calinouelse, it is very easy to install the NVIDIA drivers ;)20:24
Calinoueven Bumblebee/Primus are much slower than the Windows implementation of Optimus20:24
Calinou(hopefully, the dedicated card will still be faster than the IGP... except on low end systems)20:25
jhutchinsNo?  Optimus is a small set of laptops with dual video drivers, should not be assumed to be the problem.20:25
Calinou(in the case of the 740M, it should be faster)20:25
carmineUbuntujhutchins: i installed elinks20:25
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: Whatever works for you.  _Is_ this a laptop with Optimus video?20:26
carmineUbuntuCalinou: ok but "how" ? :)20:26
Calinoujhutchins, any laptop with 400/500/600/700M NVIDIA cards series has Optimus, and it is a big problem20:26
Calinoubut I don't know if your problem is Optimus-related20:26
Calinoubut I'm just saying it's a problem in general...20:26
carmineUbuntujhutchins: i don't really know what you are talking about :D it's a asus x750j - i7 - nvidia geforge 740m - i now nothing else20:26
jhutchinscarmineUbuntu: Optimus is a special feature on some laptops.  Intel graphics for power saving, switches over to Nvidia for graphics-intensive things like games.  You would have paid extra for it so you'd probably know.20:27
carmineUbuntuCalinou: yes but there is a system to solve .. i mean ... i was with systemrescuecd and with nouveau drivers I had a functional xfce4 desktop working... the installation was good in GUI and now... X doesn't start20:27
carmineUbuntujhutchins: no no this laptop is cheap thanks god20:28

patarrhello all. I have read that Ubuntu has trouble running 3 monitors with 2 GPUs (One integrated, and one PCI). But I heard that the new kernel in 13.x allows it. Does anyone have experience with this?21:28
kostkonpatarr, why not give it a try21:29
kostkonpatarr, with a live usb21:29
redGodnope still no sound and also there is no icon on the toolbar anymore21:30
patarrkostkon, because I don't have the second GPU and don't want to bill my company for it needlessly.21:30
shreezbot_If I add a new drive to my server and format it ext3, amd I still able to share it via smb???21:30
kostkonpatarr, why are you asking then? just wondering21:30
KI7MTshengyao: yes21:30
patarrkostkon, to have a reasonable assumption that ordering a GPU won't be in vain.21:31
kostkonpatarr, oh, of course. ok then21:31
KI7MTshreezbot_: Yes should be no problem.21:31
lonewulf85I am continuing to have trouble with my dimmer controls any help would be gate. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 x64 on an acer AO722 and I am using the FGLRX drivers for my ati card.21:31
BluesKajredGod, did you purge pulseaudio and alsa-base, because if you did they need reinstalling21:31
patarrI also have another question. With Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, you have a stable environment and packages right? If I gave it the kernel from 13.x could I still benefit from that same stability and packages and such?21:32
redGodI did purge and I did reinstall21:33
patarrPardon my ignorance, I may not fully understand how LTS works and such. I presume it's like Redhat or CentOS, where they hold off on upgrading a bunch of libraries and such in order to maintain stability21:33
gordonjcppatarr: pretty much21:33
gordonjcppatarr: obviously "stable" means "does not change" here21:33
patarrdoes the kernel relate to this?21:34
zykotick9gordonjcp: ahhhh....21:34
kostkonpatarr, actually 12.04.3 comes with the 13.04 kernel by default but you can easily install the one from 13.10 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack21:34
kostkonpatarr, x and kernel of 13.10 that is21:34
patarrkostkon, that sounds great. If I keep up to date on my updates, does that mean I'm already perhaps at 12.04.3?21:35
gordonjcppatarr: yes21:35
gordonjcppatarr: if you installed from 12.04 dead you'd find you pull in a lot of updates at first21:35
gordonjcpwith 12.04.3 there are fewer updates21:35
kostkonpatarr, yeah, but only new installations from the refreshed iso get the new stack, older installations must update manually. when did you install it21:36
patarrhm, looks like I am on 12.04.321:36
geirhapatarr: you can check by running   lsb_release -a   in a terminal21:36
patarrgeirha: just did! :)21:36

GTB3NWcan the alias contain the key as well?22:02
RedstoneSheep_OerHeks: yep. how would i tell dpkg to get that?22:03
brontosaurusrexGTB3NW, no, you install keys on the "system level"22:03
OerHeksRedstoneSheep_, run saucy and you would have that latest version22:03

brontosaurusrexGTB3NW, alias could be "alias serv1='ssh user@server'"22:04
GTB3NWdo you have some kind of output you could show me please?22:04
KI7MTGTB3NW: example of .bashrc: alias srv1='ssh user@192.168.1.xxx'  .. all ya type in a terminal is srv1 with you keys setup, no log in necessary.22:04

brontosaurusrexGTB3NW, just "alias" will list them all22:08
GTB3NWhmm could do yeah22:08
GTB3NWbrontosaurusrex, yeah but I'd have to grep that22:08

GTB3NWthat's really quite annoying it doesn't have any built in functionality to list ssh aliases :/22:11

DiamondciteYears ago, my graphic driver would crash in mid use, causing me to freeze.23:04
PDilyardDiamondcite: although im getting nvidia 650 for christmas23:05
PDilyardlol23:05
PDilyardmaybe i should just let it go until then, and see what happens when i have the new graphics card?23:05
DiamondciteI had XID freezes on a NV GF4Ti and a GF6200.23:05
DiamondciteYou have two options for graphics.23:06
PDilyardthat would be an easy possibility to cross off the list if the problem continued after new gfx card23:06
DiamondciteIf the radeon driver doesn't work, try the Catalyst ones.. or vice versa23:06

PDilyardshould i try this?23:08
DiamondcitePDilyard: That is up to you, anything goes ^_^23:08
PDilyardDiamondcite: haha ok23:09
necrogamiwith iptables can i route traffic on my local machine that would goto x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y instead?23:09
PDilyardDiamondcite: forgot to mention, this has happened with both open source and proprietary drivers23:10
trismprsteele: here is a basic working one for awesome, probably just a quick substitution to get it working for xmonad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6626080/23:11
KI7MTnecrogami: yes, but you need to study up on the rules needed, not a 2 minute discussion for sure.23:12
prsteeletrism: wow, thanks!23:12
prsteeletrism: any inuition on the last line, or did you just copy from gnome-session.conf?23:12
PDilyardwait...how do i actually make the proprietary driver "in use"23:13
PDilyardhttp://imgur.com/uwRg0wI23:13
necrogamiKI7MT, thanks yeah ill go do that wanted to make sure it was doable before i just dove into it. I'm going to build 2 scripts home/away so i can add/remove the iptables rule so i can access the server from home and away (It has local lan and public ip's associated to it and on lan i can't access the public ip for some reason)23:13
PDilyardDiamondcite: ^^23:13
trismprsteele: it calls the dbus method on upstart EndSession when the awesome binary exits23:13
trismprsteele: to clean up the user init I imagine, and yes copied from the gnome-session one23:14
prsteeletrism: great, hopefully this works23:14
prsteeletrism: Its good to know if works for awesome though -- if it doesn't work for xmonad, its probably xmonad...23:14
KI7MTnecrogami: there are lots of how-too's for iptable routing .. simple google search produced 100's :-)23:14
necrogami:)23:14
PDilyardDiamondcite: and also, im up to 35C while running the "searching for drivers" process23:15
trismprsteele: let me know if it doesn't, we can try to figure it out, I just already have awesome installed, though I am a haskell fan23:15
prsteeletrism: will do! this will probably require exiting IRC for now though23:16
prsteeletrism: just to double check: you added awesome to the /etc/upstart-sessions file?23:17
g0bl1nPDilyard, which Radeon is it ?23:17
trismprsteele: yep, and the awesome.conf to ~/.config/upstart/23:17
g0bl1nPDilyard, how is it connected to the motherboard ? 6pin connector ? dual ?23:17
PDilyardg0bl1n: Radeon HD 6530D...it came with the computer23:18
KI7MTPDilyard: bare in mind, unless the code for the sensors is written by the HW MFG, there' a margin or error expected, from minor to completely unreliable.23:18
PDilyardKI7MT: you're talking about temperature?23:19
sudormrfhello all! I am looking to receive notifications whenever someone logs in to my server, makes changes on the server, someone port scans, etc.  The server has only one NIC.  Would Snort be something I should look in to or should I be looking elswhere?23:19
PDilyardmy cpu usage is at 40% now that i have 2 instances of sublime text open, xchat, and a few chromium tabs23:19
KI7MTPDilyard: temps, speeds. clock rates, the full range really.23:20
PDilyardKI7MT: gotcha23:20
sudormrfMaybe Nagios?23:20
PDilyardKI7MT: is that cpu usage normal do you think?23:20
gordonjcpsudormrf: got a pad of post-it notes?23:21
Viking667hey, I'm noticing an issue with my 13.10 ubuntu desktop system. If I leave it for longer than a certain time, it suspends, but can't come back out of resume, requiring a powercycle to fix. What app in Settings do I need to check for that?23:21
KI7MTlm-sensors is pretty good overall. it's hard to compare BIOS data with SW / FW in the OS space so it's hard to calculate the bias needed for each item.23:21
KamuelaDone is better than perfect.23:21
sudormrfgordonjcp, sarcasm?23:22
PDilyardand chromium is using the most processing power according to htop23:22
gordonjcpsudormrf: you could try writing "Someone is trying to log in as root" on one and sticking it to your monitor23:22
gordonjcpsudormrf: it will be entirely accurate, all day23:22
sudormrfgordonjcp, thanks for nothing.23:22
sudormrfIf someone has something constructive to suggest, please do. :).23:22
gordonjcpsudormrf: the broader point I'm trying to make is that it's kind of pointless monitoring that23:22
PDilyardKI7MT, g0bl1n, Diamondcite: here's htop's output http://i.imgur.com/C2bXDhb.png23:23
gordonjcpsudormrf: just assume it's going on, and take steps to harden up your server against it23:23
sudormrfgordonjcp, pointless as it may be, would Snort be the answer or should I be looking at something else?23:23
sudormrfgordonjcp, that is the assumption I already take.23:23
KI7MTViking667: pm-utils and gnome-power-manager are the tools to look into.23:23
gordonjcpsnort is pretty good23:24
PDilyardyeah once i exited chromium my cpu usage went WAY down23:24
Viking667KI7MT: thanks.23:24
sudormrfgordonjcp, would it be an issue to run it on a machine with only one NIC? or should I run it on another machine?23:25
gordonjcpsudormrf: no idea, I've never really used it23:25
gordonjcpI looked into it but it's just not something I found useful23:25
PDilyardinteresting, firefox is using far less cpu power than chromium, with the same tabs open23:26
KI7MTPDilyard: couple other apps, SAR and SYSTAT can give you a couple more tools to drill down on CPU usage.23:27
PDilyardhmm alright thanks guys23:28
prsteelealright, here it goes...23:28
Viking667hm. Weird. Okay.23:28
Viking667I'm off...23:29
prsteeletrism: and everyone else: your conf file worked. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong before, but thanks!23:30
trismprsteele: excellent23:30

Guest37405I have recently installed Lubuntu 13.10 x64, but cannot get any sound output through HDMI, using Radeon HD 4250 graphics.  I searched the web for this and tried using the 'radeon.audio=1' kernel parameter, but with no effect.  Any suggestions?23:46
