[00:00] <harushimo> oh okay
[00:00] <Woolio> I was having trouble connecting to mysql when i ran the command "mysql -u <user> -p" it gave the error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)", after googling some i thought maybe the server wasnt started so i ran "service mysql start" which returned "start: Job failed to start" just to make sure the server wasn't already running I ran "sudo service mysql stop" which gave 
[00:00] <Woolio> Errors were encountered while processing:
[00:00] <Woolio>  mysql-server-5.5
[00:00] <Woolio>  mysql-server

[00:00] <FloodBot1> Woolio: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:00] <Woolio> This on a ubuntu 12.04 server, Ive been trying to get mysql working for awhile, My last hope was asking here and if noone has any ideas ill reinstall the entire server :P
[00:02] <ice9> what is the best dock for unity?
[00:03] <zykotick9> !best | ice9
[00:03] <kostkon> ice9, unity has its own dock, why do you need another one
[00:05] <ice9> kostkon, because it's auto hide way is not smooth
[00:05] <ice9> when showing it
[00:05] <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] <ice9> kostkon, and i want a dock where i can click on the app icon to minimize the app
[00:05] <kostkon> ice9, right
[00:06] <ice9> what are the good docks out there?
[00:06] <Sia-> secure boot also disabled
[00:12] <Ziber> I 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?
[00:14] <redGod|2> Ziber: LinSSID will do that
[00:14] <kostkon> Ziber, in terminal give: nm-tool
[00:15] <Ziber> Doesn't show the "channel" though.
[00:15] <kostkon> Ziber, it shows the frequency
[00:15] <Ziber> Okay, how do "channels" match up with frequencies?
[00:15] <kostkon> Ziber, channel numbers correpsond to specific frequencies
[00:16] <Ziber> Well, the frequency of all three networks in range (including mine) are ~2400 mhz
[00:17] <kostkon> Ziber, then select a different channel
[00:18] <Ziber> I just did. No change in nm-tool's output.
[00:19] <Ziber> I had it on "automatic" before, now on 6.
[00:20] <kostkon> Ziber, no idea, try another one, also try reconnecting to your router
[00:22] <Beldar> Sia-, Are you using proprietary graphic drivers? your reference to the live cd is not clear.
[00:23] <lysobit> Ever 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=YUt7BpsP8Ro
[00:23] <Sia-> Beldar every thing is from hp preinstalled with intel graphic
[00:23] <lysobit> As if it's just booting
[00:23] <bruce549> Ziber: you might try IWscanner or wifiradar
[00:24] <deadmund> lysobit: Is that an actual recording of your computer?  Are you kidding?
[00:24] <deadmund> It sounds _horrible_
[00:24] <Beldar> Sia-, This a dual graphic an optimus?
[00:24] <lysobit> No, just an example. Not my computer.
[00:24] <lysobit> The sound is similar.
[00:24] <lysobit> The same sound when it first boots
[00:25] <Ziber> Hrm.
[00:25] <deadmund> lysobit: That recording sounds like the fans are 1000 years old and the grinding sounds like a hard drive ruining its platters.
[00:25] <lysobit> I dunno, but it's really ticking me off
[00:25] <deadmund> lysobit: If you boot into the bios, does it still make that noise?  What does the bios say the fan speed is??
[00:26] <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 BlankScreen
[00:26] <Beldar> Sia-, You familiar with a nomodeset boot?
[00:26] <lysobit> deadmund: yes, that sound is made everytime the power button is pressed. I don't think the BIOS says anything about fan speed
[00:27] <Sia-> Beldar from the kernel section?
[00:27] <Jordan_U> Sia-: Can you post the contents of /proc/cmdline from the working installation?
[00:27] <lysobit> deadmund: maybe it could be do with power saving management/settings? I installed laptop-mode-tools
[00:27] <zykotick9> Sia-: 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] <deadmund> lysobit: 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] <lysobit> deadmund: it doesn't happen on Windows
[00:27] <deadmund> lysobit: Sometimes linux has trouble setting the correct fan speed.  I'm not sure what that package does.  Maybe check the fan speed with linux
[00:27] <lysobit> hmm
[00:28] <Sia-> Jordan_U o k let me login on the laptop her with my second nick.
[00:28] <hyprvx> I installed Ubuntu under Windows using the Wubi installer, but now Ubuntu doesn't appear under the BOOTMGR list of bootable operating systems.
[00:28] <lysobit> (interestingly, my fan has a mode where it self-cleans the dust from itself, but only compatible with Windows)
[00:28] <Woolio> Kinda going nuts with this, Any help would be greatly appreciated... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6620480/
[00:28] <hyprvx> How can I edit BootMGR to see the Ubuntu OS as well as Windows?
[00:28] <Beldar> hyprvx, What windows release?
[00:29] <hyprvx> 7, Beldar
[00:29] <Ziber> Wifi-radar doesn't close? :)
[00:29] <deadmund> lysobit: 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] <lysobit> deadmund: thanks
[00:30] <DeSian> ok Jordan_U i'm her Sia--
[00:30] <Beldar> hyprvx, In general we don't recommend wubi here, that is the windows boot menu, have you tried to install more than once?
[00:30] <hyprvx> No, should I?
[00:30] <deadmund> lysobit: sure
[00:30] <Jordan_U> hyprvx: Uninstall Wubi and install a normal dual boot.
[00:31] <Beldar> hyprvx, I'm not sure many here know the windows menu is all.
[00:31] <hyprvx> Jordan_U: I will try that and Beldar: If what JU said doesn't work I'll try ##windows instead
[00:33] <DeSian> Jordan_U: her the /proc/cmdline http://paste.ubuntu.com/6620501/
[00:35] <Vedrit> Can anyone help me with getting my mono/Apache2 server to get my ASP.net pages to load? The mono channel is unresponsive
[00:36] <ice9> how to check if hardware acceleration is enabled?
[00:36] <rzralphwinxpuser> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH3QZvBfZeY
[00:39] <Aikar> hi - im running 13.10 with nvidia 331.20. Ive been trying to get 3 monitor setup working, and i now have this Base Mosiac option.. 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 again
[00:39] <Aikar> any ideas?
[00:42] <rzralphwinxpuser> .....
[00:42] <rzralphwinxpuser> 12.04 ?
[00:42] <rzralphwinxpuser> different drivers?
[00:44] <ice9> how to check if 3D hardware acceleration is enabled?
[00:45] <deadmund> ice9: output glxinfo (at the top).  It's called "direct rendering"
[00:46] <ice9> deadmund, direct rendering is yes, that's it?
[00:46] <deadmund> ice9:  I think so.
[00:47] <ice9> deadmund, and how can i know which driver it's using?
[00:47] <deadmund> ice9: You can check the driver using sudo lspci -k
[00:47] <deadmund> (note, rebooting required for switching video drivers)
[00:47] <deadmund> Here 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.
[00:51] <zipace> deadmund: you don't have to reboot when switching/unloading/loading video drivers, restarting the X11 server is already enough
[00:52] <deadmund> zipace: ahh, neat
[01:24] <ColdKeyboard> I have installed Lubuntu on very old laptop, first it didn't recognize wifi module, then I replaced it with another one, now it detects wireless module but I can't see any networks. rfkill list is empty (off). Can someone please help?
[01:26] <ColdKeyboard> When I do rfkill list I get phy0: wireless lan, soft blocked:no, hard blocked: yes
[01:28] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: The wifi switch is set to off
[01:28] <deadmund> iwlist scan   (to see networks)
[01:29] <kreuger> bekks, are ya still here?
[01:29] <ColdKeyboard> deadmund: I tried switching it to both positions and still nothing :\
[01:30] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: switch it to on, reboot, check the output of sudo rfkill list
[01:30] <ColdKeyboard> New wifi module is AR242x/AR542x, driver ath5k
[01:30] <ColdKeyboard> ok, I'll rebot it now
[01:31] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: model is irrelevant I think
[01:31] <ColdKeyboard> I'm newbie here so I don't know :)
[01:31] <deadmund> sure :)
[01:32] <deadmund> no worries :)
[01:32] <kreuger> Maybe someone else can help me
[01:32] <ColdKeyboard> It says that wireless is still hard blocked :\
[01:32] <ColdKeyboard> Funny thing is that the LED for wifi is not glowing in ether position :\
[01:32] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: mmmmm
[01:32] <ColdKeyboard> But the Lubuntu detects the wifi module
[01:33] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: 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.
[01:34] <ColdKeyboard> It was off before I turned it on but I will try it again
[01:34] <ColdKeyboard> If this doesn't work I don't know what to do
[01:34] <ColdKeyboard> What does it even mean that it's hardware blocked?
[01:34] <glitsj16> ColdKeyboard: check your BIOS to see if you can unblock wifi or resetting it to factory settings
[01:35] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: 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] <deadmund> Worth a shot.
[01:35] <deadmund> good idea!  Check the bios
[01:35] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: hardware blocked usually means the switch is set to off.
[01:35] <ColdKeyboard> machine was off
[01:35] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: check the bios
[01:35] <ColdKeyboard> Ok, I will try checking the bios and reversing the switch, separately
[01:36] <deadmund> Does the card / switch work in windows?
[01:36] <ColdKeyboard> I don't know, I didn't try this card in win :\
[01:36] <ColdKeyboard> I added it after I installed lubuntu
[01:37] <ColdKeyboard> Ok, now I have 0:phy0:Wireless LAN
[01:37] <ColdKeyboard> And both Soft and hard blocked are :no
[01:37] <ColdKeyboard> that's good right?
[01:37] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: there ya go, the switch was backward (weird)
[01:37] <deadmund> That's great!
[01:37] <ColdKeyboard> I didn't get to the switch thing, I just shut down the machine and turned it back on with switch in ON position
[01:37] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: oh
[01:38] <ColdKeyboard> But I still don't see any wirelesss network :\
[01:38] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: sometimes it needs to be that way, linux probably doesn't listen for the signal of the switch turning on or something.
[01:38] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: sudo iwlist scan   does what?
[01:38] <ColdKeyboard> wlan0 No scan results
[01:38] <ColdKeyboard> :\
[01:39] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: it didn't see any networks.  Are you sure there is one?
[01:39] <ColdKeyboard> Yes, I'm on one right now and there are 2-3 other networks, at least
[01:39] <deadmund> mmmmmm
[01:39] <deadmund> sudo lspci -k  says what?
[01:39] <ColdKeyboard> iwconfig says that TX-Power=20dBm
[01:40] <deadmund> The transmission power (of the card) is irrelevant
[01:40] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, 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> It says a lot... I guess I'm looking for Subsystem: AureWave AW-GE780 802.11bg Wireless Mini PCIe card
[01:40] <ColdKeyboard> ?
[01:41] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: wait... then what is AR242x/AR542x  ?
[01:42] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: 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 modules
[01:42] <ColdKeyboard> Line above this one says: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x/AR542 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
[01:42] <deadmund> Ahh, the AR242 and the AureWave-AW-GE780 are the same card.
[01:43] <kreuger> Can anyone help me? :(
[01:45] <nictrasavios> \join #ubuntu
[01:45] <Beldar> kreuger, Not without a description to the channel.
[01:45] <nictrasavios> Oh, I'm already here. Nevermind that haha.
[01:46] <kreuger> Oh 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 see
[01:46] <kreuger> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15qY4ugYUp4 is the video
[01:46] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: well??
[01:48] <nictrasavios> I'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] <Beldar> kreuger, what release is this and is that kubuntu?
[01:49] <ColdKeyboard> deadmund: Still no results :\
[01:49] <kreuger> Beldar,  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] <Beldar> hard to see the possible de in the video here
[01:50] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: 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] <Beldar> kreuger, Have you tried a text boot or nomodeset? has there been a update since you tried to run it again?
[01:51] <kreuger> No I haven't. I couldn't even get the grub menu before today. How exactly do I do that?
[01:51] <Beldar> kreuger, If you have not used it for a year might you consider a fresh install?
[01:51] <kreuger> Beldar,  No. Too much data to lose and no way to recover it.
[01:52] <Beldar> kreuger, you can recover data with a live cd, just a suggestion is all for ease of travel.
[01:52] <nictrasavios> kreuger, Buy an external or even a big flash drive, save it, and then reinstall?
[01:52] <Beldar> !nomodeset | kreuger
[01:52] <kreuger> It's been down that long because I havent had the need to use it, not because I can't fix it. I've been lazy. But my laptop is running out of space and its a desktop with 2TB so
[01:54] <nictrasavios> kreuger, You have either way to many movies, or way to many textbooks.
[01:54] <ColdKeyboard> I tried sudo modprobe ath5k, sudo ip link set wlan0 up, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid any and didn't get any response :S
[01:55] <Beldar> kreuger, 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] <kreuger> Some of it is music too lol
[01:55] <kreuger> yeah Im trying nomodeset now
[01:56] <kreuger> ok so I stuck that in, hit F10 and Im back to the Xubuntu splash screen
[01:56] <Beldar> kreuger, A black screen on the tty makes me think it is stopping early.
[01:56] <kreuger> well I was trying to call up the terminal
[01:56] <Beldar> kreuger, f10 to do what?
[01:57] <kreuger> After I put in nomodeset it says press f10 to boot. Im wondering if it didnt save?
[01:57] <Beldar> kreuger, Ah right, I thought it was ctrl-x
[01:57] <nictrasavios> It saved if you typed it in, no worries there.
[01:57] <kreuger> I think that was to save
[01:58] <Beldar> kreuger, kernel changes there do not save on a reboot.
[01:58] <kreuger> Another 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] <Beldar> that is a per-session
[01:58] <kreuger> Should I share that?
[01:59] <Beldar> kreuger, Wont help me, I'm not real up on logs.
[02:00] <kreuger> Ya, it didnt save the nomodeset. Let me try it again
[02:00] <Beldar> kreuger, I think the continue boot after changing the kernel is crtl-x try the nomodeset and the text boot.
[02:01] <kreuger> yeah Im gonna do that
[02:01] <kreuger> How do I ask the bot for info?
[02:01] <nictrasavios> !ubottu
[02:01] <kreuger> !ubottu $vt_handoff
[02:01] <nictrasavios> \msg ubotty nomodeset
[02:02] <zykotick9> nictrasavios: try "/msg ubottu nomodeset"
[02:02] <nictrasavios> !nomodeset | kreuger
[02:02] <nictrasavios> zykotick9, I did, I always get the slash mixed up.
[02:02] <kreuger> whoa I may have found something interest
[02:02] <s1r1nx> '
[02:02] <zykotick9> nictrasavios: it's ubottu not ubotty as well ;)
[02:03] <kreuger> so I noticed on the end of my grub line it says "$vt_handoff" which I've never seen before
[02:03] <nictrasavios> zykotick9, >.< I know, I got it working a while ago haha.
[02:03] <kreuger> Google brought me this: http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-fix-ubuntu-boot-splash-screen-after-grub-updates
[02:04] <Beldar> kreuger, You can remove that code in that edit mode.
[02:04] <kreuger> The very first two paragraphs on there seems to be my issue
[02:06] <kreuger> No luck removing it :(
[02:06] <Beldar> kreuger, Your video never shows a login gui are you getting one?
[02:07] <kreuger> no I dont get one at all
[02:07] <kreuger> It just sits there with that icon spinning
[02:07] <Beldar> kreuger, Try that text boot I think it's stopping before that maybe.
[02:07] <kreuger> Is that the same way?
[02:07] <Beldar> freezing
[02:08] <kreuger> like edit the grub conf?
[02:08] <Beldar> kreuger, replace no splash with text
[02:08] <kreuger> ok
[02:08] <kreuger> will it be verbose?
[02:08] <Beldar> kreuger, You are from the grub menu hitting e for edit correct?
[02:08] <kreuger> yep
[02:09] <Beldar> kreuger, not sure the definition of verbose, it just removes the gui and you see just text
[02:09] <kreuger> although, mine shows just splash, not "no splash"
[02:09] <Beldar> remove and put text there
[02:10] <kreuger> ok
[02:11] <kreuger> Well I had a text login, now it's gone blank
[02:11] <Beldar> kreuger, I suspect the boot it freezing the text mode should show where.
[02:11] <linuxuz3r> zfs a good filesystem ot work on?
[02:11] <kreuger> All I saw was my username then it went blank
[02:13] <Beldar> kreuger, 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] <nictrasavios> linuxuz3r, It has some advantages. No real reason not to stick with ext4 though.
[02:13] <kreuger> Yeah that would be the verbose I was talking about
[02:14] <kreuger> I just saw some text, then login came up and went blank again
[02:14] <Beldar> kreuger, Ah so you saw the login gui?
[02:14] <kreuger> No. it was text login
[02:14] <linuxuz3r> is there support for rw for zfs on windows and mac
[02:15] <nictrasavios> kreuger, 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] <Beldar> kreuger, top left corner, like a tty?
[02:15] <linuxuz3r> nictrasavios, ok
[02:15] <kreuger> Beldar, yep
[02:15] <kreuger> nictrasavios, My bad, thanks for that
[02:16] <kreuger> Beldar, Would another video help?
[02:16] <Beldar> kreuger, 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] <DWSR> Anyone 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.
[02:17] <kreuger> Yeah. I just know that I had Xubuntu and switched to LXDE. I dont think I removed anything more than XFCE itself
[02:17] <Beldar> kreuger, 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] <Beldar> live* hehe
[02:18] <kreuger> No 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] <Beldar> kreuger, If you had removed xfce correctly the boot splash would show lubuntu, hence my suspicions.
[02:19] <kreuger> well 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 12.10
[02:19] <DWSR> Anyone 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] <Beldar> kreuger, Honestly configurations should be easy as pie for you, not a wall stopping you. ;)
[02:19] <nictrasavios> Why not remove the GUI entirely, remove all of the base packages, and then reinstall the base GUI from a text-only system?
[02:20] <kreuger> They are, its just time consuming. I basically just want it to work lol
[02:20] <Beldar> kreuger, Well not much I can do here sorry.
[02:20] <kreuger> nictrasavios, I can't even get tty to come up
[02:20] <kreuger> Beldar, thanks anyways, maybe someone else can help
[02:20] <nictrasavios> kreuger, 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] <ColdKeyboard> Can someone please help me with ath5k? My wireless card is detected but for now it's hardware blocked. I got to unblock it but even then I couldn't see any wireless networks. Any ideas what should I do?
[02:21] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, Did you browse the askubuntu links I sent you?
[02:21] <kreuger> I never figured out what happened. Originally it seemed to be a video driver problem
[02:22] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: Yes I did, I tried several of the solutions but seems like none of them work for me... :\
[02:22] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, Do you have ethernet?
[02:22] <ColdKeyboard> now, yes
[02:23] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, Cool, if it were me I would get a plug and works usb.
[02:23] <ColdKeyboard> plug and works usb?
[02:23] <Beldar> in lieu of a maybe fix here
[02:23] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, usb wifi that plugs in and works
[02:23] <kreuger> I really just can't figure out why the eff tty won't work. It just keeps cycling back to the xubuntu loading icon
[02:24] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: I already replaced old PCIe with this one
[02:24] <ColdKeyboard> old one wasn't even detected as Wireless adapter
[02:24] <kreuger> Im gonna try booting older kernels
[02:24] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, okay and?
[02:26] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: I replaced it with this one, now it detects it as wireless adapter, I managed to remove hard blocked but I can't find wireless networks with it :\
[02:26] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, My point is, you may get it working, however in the mean time if you need wifi you can have it rather cheaply is all.
[02:26] <ColdKeyboard> I don't know what should I do. there is no options for wifi in bios
[02:26] <zykotick9> kreuger: did you install drivers from nvidia.com by chance?
[02:26] <nictrasavios> ColdKeyboard, Once you get it unlocked, remove the usb wireless. Dose it work then?
[02:26] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: I connected via ethernet
[02:27] <ColdKeyboard> and no, it didn't see any networks
[02:27] <kreuger> zykotick9, 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 believe
[02:27] <Beldar> yes I know, this is a internal card right?
[02:27] <Beldar> or a plugun
[02:27] <zykotick9> kreuger: well... best of luck.
[02:27] <Beldar> plugin*
[02:27] <kreuger> zykotick9, thanks
[02:28] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: Internal, PCIe
[02:28] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, I thought so just confirming for any other helpers
[02:29] <ColdKeyboard> Ok
[02:29] <ColdKeyboard> I'm thinking, will installing Ubuntu or Mint or some other distro help?
[02:30] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, Mint's advantage are more drivers I believe, however not the support ubuntu has is all.
[02:30] <somsip> ColdKeyboard: given how you're asking in the official ubuntu support forum, you will only get ubuntu advice here
[02:30] <nictrasavios> Beldar, ColdKeyboard, Unless you're good at lying.
[02:30] <Beldar> nictrasavios, Not to hard to detect.
[02:31] <ColdKeyboard> Well I was asking if maybe instaling some other version/distro will help... No need to get hostile :)
[02:31] <Beldar> no hostility here that I see
[02:32] <kreuger> hey guys, what's the default video driver for nvidia? should I try vesa?
[02:32] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: I know, just saying that I mean no harm or disrespect :)
[02:32] <nictrasavios> Beldar, 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.
[02:33] <Beldar> kreuger, If this was a graphic driver problem the nomodeset boot should get you in generally.
[02:33] <kreuger> fair enough
[02:33] <Beldar> nictrasavios, There are helpers who don't check releases yes.
[02:34] <nictrasavios> Beldar, :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.
[02:35] <kreuger> My only other option I guess is to check the xorg logs
[02:37] <Beldar> kreuger, It may be you need to remove the xorg.conf we see often that it gets people in trouble similarly as your situation is, and live cd would get you there.
[02:38] <kreuger> Beldar, you mean just delete it and reboot?
[02:38] <Beldar> kreuger, yes, and or try the nomodeset again then.
[02:39] <kreuger> alright I'll give it a shot.
[02:39] <wessssssss> hi, room.  I have a dual boot with ubuntu and windows 7 booting from gnu grub.  I just did a reinstall of windows 7 from a recovery partition and now cant boot into it because grub still thinks that the old install is there.  How do i fix this?
[02:40] <nictrasavios> !grub | wessssssss
[02:40] <Beldar> wessssssss, what old install, haow did you reload the grub boot?
[02:41] <Beldar> wessssssss, Have you run sudo update-grub in ubuntu?
[02:41] <wessssssss> the grub boot was still there after i reinstalled windows
[02:41] <cfhowlett> after a win7 reinstall, I'm surprised grub even appears
[02:41] <wessssssss> no, didnt know about that.  could that be my solution?
[02:41] <cfhowlett> wessssssss, restore/reinstall grub per the factoid should fix
[02:41] <Beldar> wessssssss, most likely
[02:41] <wessssssss> so just sudo update-grub?
[02:42] <Beldar> wessssssss, yes on the dektop in the terminal
[02:42] <Beldar> desktop*
[02:42] <Beldar> viva the os-prober
[02:42] <wessssssss> thank you thank you thank you
[02:42] <linuxuz3r> i need another filesystem other than fat32 that has rw in win osx linux and bsd
[02:42] <cfhowlett> VIVA!
[02:42] <linuxuz3r> what is a good one
[02:45] <linuxuz3r> anyone
[02:45] <cfhowlett> !patience|linuxuz3r,
[02:46] <kreuger> Ok thats strange. My livecd just booted up in text mode
[02:48] <Beldar> kreuger, You can run a nomodeset on the live cd with a f6 at the first, install or check memory gui
[02:49] <kreuger> yeah but I didnt change anything. it just booted that way
[02:49] <Beldar> kreuger, I'm wondering if there is a hardware problem, just a guess though.
[02:50] <Beldar> kreuger, Try a nomodeset from that gui
[02:51] <kreuger> I rebooted and the livecd came up normal now
[02:52] <Beldar> kreuger, Is this a dualboot, if so with what and it's release?
[02:53] <kreuger> Nope
[02:54] <Beldar> kreuger, Did you ever customize the grub menu, just curios is all.
[02:54] <Beldar> curious*
[02:55] <kreuger> I dont remember lol
[02:55] <kreuger> I had a backup of xorg.conf from a dist-upgrade. trying that out
[02:56] <cem_> hi all
[02:57] <cem_> i wanna use my printer on xfce
[02:57] <cem_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6621017/
[02:58] <nictrasavios> I guess I should bring up the issue I came here for now. Haha, as I said before, sometimes when I move a window to the top of the screen, and maximize it, X will freeze up. The only thing that works is switching to a term and doing `sudo pkill X`
[02:58] <Beldar> kreuger, for what its worth xorg.conf is not there on install.
[02:58] <kreuger> cem_ Are you sure cups is running?
[02:58] <kreuger> Beldar,  ya it didnt work, Im gonna delete it and start fresh
[02:59] <cem_> im new at linux, how can i?
[02:59] <moses> I have grubby installed and what it does is it auto boots to ubuntu, but I actually want it to autoboot to windows
[02:59] <moses> how can i change  this?
[02:59] <kreuger> cem_ open a terminal
[02:59] <nictrasavios> !cups | cem_
[03:00] <Rastart> http://www-01.ibm.com/software/network/dce/library/publications/dceintro/html/DCEINT04.HTM
[03:00] <Beldar> moses, http://askubuntu.com/questions/52963/how-do-i-set-windows-to-boot-as-the-default-in-the-boot-loader
[03:00] <cem_> t says command not found
[03:01] <cem_> !cups | "name of my account"
[03:01] <cem_> ah i see
[03:01] <moses> tyvm
[03:02] <nictrasavios> cem_, if you install cups with the Ubuntu Software Center, printing should work right away. If it dosen't, we can help you set it up.
[03:02] <cem_> ok i will
[03:02] <kreuger> you got ahead of me
[03:02] <cem_> thanx a lot
[03:02] <kreuger> Ah well
[03:02] <nictrasavios> kreuger, Sorry :P. Good thing helping people isn't a contest :P.
[03:02] <kreuger> Beldar, no luck deleting xorg.cong
[03:03] <kreuger> nictrasavios, not a big deal. just trying to give back to others lol
[03:03] <Beldar> kreuger, you try a nomodeset again?
[03:04] <kreuger> No Im giving up for tonight lol
[03:04] <Beldar> cool good luck when you try again. ;)
[03:12] <alexkrupp> I just installed the recommended GTK update, and now Ubuntu can't find my graphics card, mouse, or keyboard... any suggestions?
[03:14] <Beldar> alexkrupp, what release is this?
[03:14] <jackshaft> Does your kb & mouse still show up when you run lsusb?
[03:15] <alexkrupp> @Beldar I'm pretty sure it's the newest stable x64 Desktop version... although I can't actually check, since I can't really do anything with the OS.... I can't even click OK when it asks me if I want to run in limited graphics mode.
[03:16] <alexkrupp> @jackshaft As far as I know I can't run that, since it can't find my keyboard
[03:17] <Beldar> alexkrupp, You can tab complete nicks, I'm just tying to figure out what "recommended GTK update" is.
[03:17] <jackshaft> And the only update you did was the GTH
[03:17] <jackshaft> GTK*
[03:18] <alexkrupp> Beldar: Yes that was the only update... It just popped up as being recommended when I booted into the system today, so I installed it.
[03:19] <Beldar> alexkrupp, So your sure this is at the least a 12.04 and beyond install?
[03:20] <alexkrupp> Beldar: 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 versions
[03:21] <Beldar> alexkrupp, I would confirm the install from a live cd, maybe try an earlier kernel to see if you get any of the lost stuff back, not sure otherwise.
[03:23] <mgodzilla> heart.cashew
[03:24] <alexkrupp> Beldar: Ok, thanks. I'll try to make a live CD now. Would a 1GB USB stick work for 12.04?
[03:24] <Beldar> alexkrupp, Yeah
[03:42] <witeshark> can i get a little advise on Skype?
[03:43] <Beldar> witeshark, share the p;problem with the channel than we well all know.
[03:45] <munz> . /usr/bin/byobu-reconnect-sockets
[03:45] <munz> lol, my bad
[03:46] <witeshark> Beldar, i don't seem to see installation steps that work
[03:47] <Beldar> witeshark, Have you tried sudo apt-get install skype
[03:47] <witeshark> the second set on this page didn't work
[03:47] <witeshark> i will try that
[03:47] <Beldar> witeshark, It's in the ubuntu repos
[03:48] <witeshark> Beldar, package not found
[03:50] <Beldar> witeshark, This is ubuntu I assume it's in the partners repos I believe check that it is open on sources.list
[03:51] <Beldar> witeshark, run cat /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin the list if you would like this checked.
[03:54] <witeshark> that results in : http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/
[03:56] <Beldar> witeshark, make sure it is open in the sources.list if not remove the # and update then try the install.
[03:57] <witeshark> Beldar, okay TY
[03:57] <witeshark> brb
[04:00] <Rastart> got a noob problem with the shell. you know when lines are too long..? well how to vertical-scroll only? :P
[04:01] <lickalott> Rastart, what do you mean?
[04:02] <Rastart> simple things..i'm a dumb man, fo real
[04:02] <KI7MT> Shift+PageUP
[04:03] <anon12> I have a monitor that supports 3D TV. How do I get Unity to do a split screen 3d image with an already 3d picture as the background?
[04:03] <KI7MT> That works in Gnome-Term, not sure about Guake and others.
[04:04] <Rastart> got gnome-term
[04:05] <godzi> When I I use 'cat /etc/resolve.cong' it says it cannot find such file.  Can some one tell me why says this?
[04:05] <Rastart> i would like to know how to set vertical scroll only as default.
[04:05] <lickalott> it is Rastart
[04:06] <Rastart> what if it doesn't work?
[04:07] <lickalott> so when you scroll with the mouse it does it horizontally?
[04:07] <Rastart> well when i press shift+PageUP it changes nothing :P
[04:08] <Rastart> still have to move right-left for every single line :D
[04:08] <lickalott> what happens when you scroll with your mouse or use the sidebar scoll?
[04:08] <KI7MT> Works on all my terms .. suppose you could go check your key-bindings.
[04:09] <lickalott> maybe selected the wrong keyboard during setup?
[04:10] <Beldar> godzi, http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/
[04:10] <Rastart> well i suppose my usb keyboard isn't so evil
[04:10] <Beldar> things have changed
[04:10] <godzi> Beldar thank you I'll check it out
[04:11] <Rastart> i just can't see line after line without going left and right  all the time
[04:11] <Rastart> and it's a bit frustrating
[04:12] <kostkon> Rastart, what kind of output is that
[04:12] <lickalott> you mean it doesn't auto wrap within the terminal?
[04:12] <Rastart> what do you mean?
[04:13] <kostkon> Rastart, where is it coming from. that output that has too long lines to fit in your terminal line size
[04:13] <lickalott> http://askubuntu.com/questions/54995/dynamic-line-wrapping-in-the-gnome-terminal
[04:14] <Rastart> well any output in gnome-terminal
[04:15] <Rastart> and keyboard just comes from a common tech-shop
[04:15] <Rastart> lol
[04:20] <Rastart> well i got no screen function
[04:20] <Rastart> and i still can't have a correct view
[04:21] <kostkon> Rastart, no screen function?
[04:21] <Rastart> well can't i solve it without installing it?
[04:23] <Rastart> well kostkon is about lickalott line wrapping tip
[04:24] <kostkon> Rastart, yes got it
[04:26] <Rastart> i just don't need it to autoresize anytime i only wonder why only-vertical-scrolling doesn't work for me..
[04:27] <witeshark> Beldar, paste bin to come
[04:27] <Rastart> you know sometimes you need to scroll horizonal too..sometimes you don't.
[04:28] <JoshDreamland> Hi; is GNOME 3 officially supported?
[04:28] <JoshDreamland> The Flashback panel is failing pretty hard
[04:28] <Rastart> cant solve that issue without  screen command? that is my question :P
[04:29] <witeshark> Beldar, http://pastebin.com/EDanp8fD
[04:30] <Rastart> is there some other way to keep my eyes safe?
[04:34] <Abhijit> how to apt-cache search to know if the given program is installed or not. only cli.
[04:34] <zykotick9> Abhijit: "apt-cache policy foo"
[04:34] <Beldar> witeshark, remove the #  # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner run a update and try the install
[04:34] <Abhijit> zykotick9, thanks.
[04:35] <witeshark> Beldar, i see thanks!
[04:35] <Beldar> no prob
[04:39] <linu> hi all when i try to load g_serial module in my at91sam9x5ek board and connect usb to my ubuntu pc but it shows me initializing modem message and minicom is freezed,eventhough i double checked the permission also but it shows the same issues can you please help me
[04:40] <Rastart> i feel a bit confused..
[04:40] <Rastart> lol
[04:40] <Eromej> 'llo
[04:41] <solarradiation> I want to install from source package X. the ubuntu repo has and older version. I want to use the repo to grab all the -dev development packages and every needed to do a source build. how do i do this?
[04:41] <Eromej> I wanted to ask... is it normal to see no improvement in performances after installing an ATI GPU and open source drivers ?
[04:42] <ClientAlive> I added a 3rd party ppa for a package I need but when I do a sudo apt-get install < package > I'm not sure from the output if it the one fromt the ubuntu repo or the 3rd party repo that will be installed. How can I be sure I get the one from the 3rd party repo?
[04:42] <SonikkuAmerica> solarradiation: 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] <solarradiation> ClientAlive: run "dpkg -l packagename" and look at the package versin
[04:43] <solarradiation> SonikkuAmerica: yeah, I know. and all that dependency information is in the apt-get repo. how do I get all the necessary package needed for a source build?
[04:43] <kostkon> ClientAlive, apt-cache policy package_name
[04:44] <solarradiation> SonikkuAmerica: for example, flex may be needed for a source build but not for a binary installation
[04:45] <SonikkuAmerica> solarradiation: Why not first check for a PPA or for a .deb package containing the latest version?
[04:45] <KI7MT> solarradiation, start off by installing build-essential .. then look into build-dep before compiling your package.
[04:45] <solarradiation> SonikkuAmerica: there is none
[04:45] <SonikkuAmerica> solarradiation: Hm. What software is this?
[04:45] <ClientAlive> solarradiation: 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] <solarradiation> KI7MT: weird bioinformatics software
[04:45] <Abhijit> Eromej, the first difference "should" be in laptop fan uses. its sound. and the comparatively cool air.
[04:45] <solarradiation> errr... SonikkuAmerica
[04:47] <KI7MT> solarradiation, well, who ever wrote it, knows the dependencies, and they should have some sort of install documentation.
[04:47] <Abhijit> Eromej, 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] <Beldar> ClientAlive, The idea of using a ppa is a later version availability, check that when you load one
[04:47] <Eromej> Thank you for your answer. I am using a desktop, GPU temperature never goes beyond 35 degrees. Before that, I was using my desktop without GPU, and had exactly the same performances
[04:48] <Abhijit> Eromej, time to use some benchmarking tools.
[04:48] <Eromej> I did, actually, and got way below average issues, unfortunately :(
[04:48] <Eromej> way below average results$
[04:49] <Eromej> It generally seems just like the GPU isn't computing anything
[04:50] <ClientAlive> Beldar: Thanks, just wasn't sure if I needed to specify the install candidate in some special way or just the normal way. Apparenly the normal way pulls in the latest version automatically though.
[04:50] <Abhijit> Eromej, I am no expert on gpu, but I suspect the drivers are not configured properly. you may want to read the drivers documentation on how to check if they are installed and configured properly.
[04:50] <Beldar> ClientAlive, yep, you got it.
[04:52] <jojo_> I'm using ice as a site specific browser to launch web applications.  Does anyone here know if there is a way to get cairo-dock to recognize ice webapp launchers as a legit application launcher so that these ice launchers can be added to the dock?
[04:53] <Eromej> Thank you anyway Abhijit. Unfortunately I already tried many things before from the official guide and internet resources, but I never had any results. Just one question, why can't I post on the #radeon channel, is it blocked ? I'm not too familiar with IRC
[04:53] <Abhijit> Eromej, ask with details on askubuntu.com
[04:53] <Eromej> No one answered :(

[05:04] <Z3r0t0l0rEnCe> I'm really new to Ubuntu.  So I'm just reading,  reading and reading some more to learn as much as possible.  Plus I'm sure I'll be in here a lot to ask questions.
[05:04] <Beldar> witeshark, You just add that to the sources.list you will need a key it will probably tell you what is missing on a update and you can add it with. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "key here"
[05:05] <nictrasavios> !polling | shreezbot_
[05:06] <nictrasavios> !poll | shreezbot_
[05:06] <witeshark> Beldar, i see; so what i'm asking is what is the correct syntax to edit the sources.list as opposed to simply listing it?
[05:07] <shreezbot_> Not really asking for a poll, just want to know what works well with Ubuntu since I'm new to the platform...
[05:08] <Beldar> witeshark, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list open it as read and write

[05:11] <witeshark> then after editing?
[05:11] <JoshDreamland> unfortunately, clearlooks-theme-phoenix breaks the panel shell
[05:11] <Guest76023> helpme
[05:11] <Iriez> halp me
[05:11]  * Iriez flails arms
[05:12] <nictrasavios> #ubuntu-bots is a very fun channel.... haha.
[05:12] <Beldar> witeshark, Hit the save in the panel, it will ask you if you want to save if you just close ot anyway.
[05:12] <Guest76023> how to install dual boot with windows?
[05:12] <Beldar> Guest76023, This W8?
[05:12] <witeshark> Beldar, ok - and just deb NOT deb-src?
[05:12] <nictrasavios> Iriez, Sorry, but I'm not qualified to diagnose you. Or myself for that matter.
[05:13] <witeshark> also?
[05:13]  * nictrasavios ...searches for my mind...
[05:13] <Beldar> witeshark, On the partners, the src adds the binary if needed.
[05:13] <witeshark> ok
[05:14] <Beldar> Iriez, take two aspirin and call your doctor in the morning, or actually detail you problem to the channel.
[05:14] <Guest76023> help me installing dual boot
[05:14] <Beldar> Guest76023, Notice how people do address you I asked you a question.
[05:15] <Beldar> !dualboot | Guest76023
[05:16] <witeshark> Beldar, and after this, apt-get skype may find it?
[05:16] <Beldar> witeshark, run sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install skyoe
[05:17] <Beldar> sudo apt-get install skype
[05:18] <Eromej> Abhijit, I have posted a comment
[05:18] <Abhijit> :-)
[05:19] <witeshark> Beldar, wow that was fun; it seems to have worked TY x million
[05:19] <witeshark> :)
[05:19] <Abhijit> Eromej, add that description to the actual question.
[05:19] <Eromej> I did
[05:20] <Beldar> witeshark, No problem, so if you add anymore repos just run a update to sync the repos before installing
[05:20] <witeshark> Beldar, right - makes sense TY again!
[05:22] <witeshark> Beldar, total success, up, running and logged in thanks mate!! :D
[05:22] <Beldar> ;)
[05:27] <Abhijit> Eromej, does dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon'give you any errors?
[05:29] <Eromej> Abhijit, It doesn't
[05:29] <Eromej> Do you want me to post the result on Askubuntu ?
[05:29] <Abhijit> no
[05:30] <Eromej> Okay, anyway seems all normal
[05:30] <Abhijit> Eromej, have you uninstalled previous graphics drivers before installing drivers for this card?
[05:30] <Eromej> No, this is a fresh install
[05:31] <Abhijit> ok
[05:32] <Abhijit> Eromej, i offered the bounty. expect some attention.
[05:33] <Eromej> Thank you very much
[05:41] <pa5tabear> Hi all, I've just installed Ubuntu within VirtualBox and I'm looking for help installing Node and Meteor
[05:42] <pa5tabear> Is it normal for the "make" of Node to take more than 20 minutes?
[05:44] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, yes. depends on RAM and cpu.
[05:44] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, dont know specific about Node, but "make" takes a time.
[05:44] <WhiteFoxx> hi all
[05:45] <pa5tabear> @Abhijit: it seemed to finish, but it says I got Error 2 and Error 69.... do you think I need to figure out what these are? Or reinstall somehow?
[05:47] <user141423> You probably need to look for a more specific error message, it should say what line/file it failed on.
[05:49] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, it should tell you what are the errors. scroll up.
[05:50] <pa5tabear> @Abhijit: it does say flock: g++: no such file or directory
[05:52] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, do you have g++ installed?
[05:52] <user141423> Try 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 now
[05:52] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, do what user141423 said
[05:52] <pa5tabear> @user141423: Thanks, I'll try that. is that everything?
[05:53] <user141423> It should be, but I've never used node so I couldn't say for sure.
[05:53] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, g++ is c++ compiler.
[05:54] <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/?
[05:55] <pa5tabear> http://ariejan.net/2011/10/24/installing-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-debian/
[05:55] <pa5tabear> (no question mark at the end)
[05:55] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, never used Node. Can not comment.
[05:56] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, check the reputation of the github repo he is talking about.
[05:57] <Scunizi> what's the command like "build-essential" that brings up a menu to install various servers like a web server
[05:58] <zykotick9> Scunizi: tasksel - though i'm not sure how that is similar to build-essential package?
[06:01] <Scunizi> zykotick9 that's it. I guess similar in an offhand way. one installs a bunch of packages in one wack.  the other gives a list of a bunch of packages.
[06:01] <Scunizi> You understood what I was asking for, and for that... thank you
[06:02] <zykotick9> :)
[06:07] <linux-killed-me> greetings #ubuntu
[06:08] <linux-killed-me> this is my first attempt to use kubuntu, and kubuntu stop loading just after i entered my logins info. no need to mention that im not linux expert. but I'm having another computer to perform live test. Any help is greatly appreciated :)
[06:10] <hkr> did you complete the kubuntu installation ?
[06:10] <hkr> linux-killed-me?
[06:10] <linux-killed-me> hkr: affirmatvie
[06:10] <linux-killed-me> first boot were okay
[06:11] <linux-killed-me> first reboot lead me to this unpleasant situation :/
[06:11] <hkr> so you could login the first time ?
[06:11] <linux-killed-me> yep
[06:12] <linux-killed-me> i tryed with wrong logins to see if it was a login problem. But in this case it tells me that my login is not correct
[06:12] <hkr> what is displayed when you login now ?
[06:12] <linux-killed-me> well log box disappear. And thats it.
[06:12] <linux-killed-me> computer isnt freezed
[06:12] <linux-killed-me> as i still can move my mouse
[06:13] <hkr> wait a sec.
[06:13] <linux-killed-me> but nothing load, and the background still "pixelised"
[06:13] <linux-killed-me> even 2 ! Thanks alot for your support :)
[06:13] <Beldar> !nomodeset | linux-killed-me try this boot
[06:14] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: thks im having a look !
[06:14] <hkr> can you access the terminal by Crtl + Alt + F1 ?
[06:14] <Beldar> linux-killed-me, You may be missing a graphic driver, were you on the web when you installed and did you tck the update on install.
[06:15] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: it works the first time
[06:15] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: so i guess everything needed is installed
[06:15] <linux-killed-me> hkr: im tryin right now hold on
[06:16] <hkr> which kubuntu version is it ?
[06:16] <linux-killed-me> hkr: last one
[06:17] <hkr> 13.10 ?
[06:17] <linux-killed-me> hkr: downloaded today on the official server. MD5 checked also
[06:17] <linux-killed-me> hkr:  yes !
[06:17] <linux-killed-me> hkr: i have the terminal right now
[06:17] <hkr> Can you connect to internet ?
[06:18] <linux-killed-me> ... well i never tryed threw the terminal
[06:19] <hkr> Then press Ctrl + Alt + F7
[06:19] <hkr> and try Alt + F2
[06:20] <linux-killed-me> hkr: back to graphic log box, Alt+F2 dont do anything
[06:21] <zamn_> Hello, can anyone help me with fan issues? I have an ASUS laptop and tried going through the fancontrol tutorial and pwmsensors and all that jazz but nothing seems to be working. 'sensors' doesnt seem to actually pick up my fans/cores but just lists generic things (not sure). Can anyone help me lower the volume of my fans as I'm not even doing intensive processing right now.
[06:21] <hkr> linux-killed-me, Get to a terminal, login and type "sudo apt-get install startkde"
[06:21] <hkr> Without the quotes
[06:22] <linux-killed-me> hkr: I just tryed to connect threw the console, then start startx manually
[06:23] <Zerberak> Hey
[06:23] <hkr> and ?
[06:23] <linux-killed-me> i had a error such as
[06:23] <linux-killed-me> xinit : connection to x server lost
[06:24] <hkr> Right... Are you sure installed the desktop version and not the netbook version ?
[06:24] <kostkon> hkr, netbook version?
[06:25] <hkr> what ?
[06:25] <linux-killed-me> hsince i never asked for the netbook version, yeah. Also as i mentioned it worked the first time as it should
[06:25] <hkr> plasma desktop has two versions iirc
[06:25] <hkr> by first time, do you mean the live CD?
[06:25] <kostkon> hkr, oh youre right
[06:25] <linux-killed-me> hkr: no. threw my hd
[06:27] <justadude> is anywhere here?
[06:27] <xPucTu4> me
[06:27] <hkr> So you can't connect to internet via the terminal, alt + f2 doesn't bring anything up ?
[06:27] <justadude> hello puc
[06:28] <xPucTu4> hi
[06:28] <justadude> i have a stupid question for anyone who can answer it
[06:28] <hkr> ok
[06:28] <hkr> im stupid
[06:29] <justadude> when i sshd -generate i get invalid login grace time
[06:29] <justadude> i was under the impression i needed to -generate keys before even starting ssh server
[06:30] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: 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 ?
[06:31] <hkr> linux-killed-me, try sudo startkde
[06:31] <Zerberak> anyone know the command in 13.10 for testing whether the dhcp server is operational?
[06:31] <xPucTu4> justadude: when you start sshd, it should generate the keys if they does not exist.
[06:32] <Beldar> linux-killed-me, Did you run a update the first time you booted, what did you do in this first boot?
[06:32] <xPucTu4> wait to check
[06:32] <santa_> yo
[06:32] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:33] <hkr> Try reinstalling, linux-killed-me.
[06:33] <justadude> ok, so if it just says timed out, does that mean keys already exist?
[06:33] <justadude> or correction invalid login grace time
[06:33] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: no update.. just tweaking the main parameters such as themes and fonts
[06:33] <hkr> .join #python
[06:33] <hkr> Sorry ._.
[06:33] <linux-killed-me> ok lets go for another reinstall :D
[06:33] <Beldar> linux-killed-me, Did you install any themes off the web?
[06:34] <xPucTu4> justadude, -generate is invalid argument for sshd
[06:34] <linux-killed-me> negative. Only from the builtin ode theme fetcher
[06:34] <linux-killed-me> kde*
[06:35] <Beldar> linux-killed-me, I would try the nomodeset boot, but your welcome to reinstall if you like.
[06:35] <justadude> would it be sshd -g?  i thought i saw that on the man page but i could be wrong
[06:35] <xPucTu4> just enter "sshd" without anything
[06:35] <justadude> oh damn that easy?
[06:36] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: wise advice
[06:36] <xPucTu4> when you enter "sshd -generate"
[06:36] <xPucTu4> sshd is started with "-g" switch
[06:36] <xPucTu4> and argument "enerate" for that switch
[06:37] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:37] <xPucTu4> it is used for other things, but you can accept defaults
[06:37] <justadude> LOL that makes sense
[06:38] <justadude> im pretty new linux so i get lost sometimes
[06:38] <xPucTu4> you can read more with "man sshd" command
[06:38] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:39] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:40] <justadude> thank you very much puc
[06:40] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: moment of truth
[06:40] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:41] <justadude> alright off to play around more in terminal
[06:41] <justadude> everyone have a nice night
[06:41] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:41] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: and thats negativ
[06:41] <linux-killed-me> reinstalling
[06:42] <santa_> anyone hear of HP laptop sound issues?
[06:44] <santa_> anyone hear of HP laptop sound issues?

[07:00] <mehola> hi I've been having issue for a while now where after using my laptop for a number of hours, the internet stops working and asks me for password
[07:01] <mehola> has anybody experienced that before? the only way I'm able to fix is by hard restart
[07:01] <karthik_> Hi
[07:02] <karthik_> I am facing a problem of frequent wifi disconnections with my wireless lan card installed on my Desktop
[07:02] <mehola> karthik_, does it ask for password after the disconnect?
[07:02] <karthik_> The details of the wifi card are
[07:02] <karthik_> product: 	AR2417 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5007G 802.11bg] [168C:1D] vendor: 	Qualcomm Atheros [168C]
[07:03] <mjhszig> anyone had issues installing Inkscape?????
[07:03] <mehola> karthik_, I've been having such an issue for quite a while
[07:03] <karthik_> no its not asking for any password
[07:03] <mehola> oh okay
[07:04] <karthik_> if i disable the wifi and then enable it again from the notifications, wifi starts working for some time say 5mins or so
[07:05] <karthik_> if I reboot the computer, wifi will work fine for sometime again say 5 - 10 mins
[07:07] <karthik_> hi mehola, were you able to get it to work ?
[07:07] <mehola> karthik_, no, mine may be a different issue though.
[07:08] <mehola> karthik_, mine disconnects after a long time (hours) and won't reconnect until I restart
[07:09] <karthik_> hm, got it, going through the forms, i get one solution to replace network manager with wcid
[07:13] <Nimble> does anyone know why this might be in my apt history? I don't recall ever running it
[07:13] <Nimble> apt-get --no-upgrade -o Acquire::gpgv::Options::=--ignore-time-conflict -y install grub-efi
[07:13] <Nimble> for what it's worth, I have ubuntu 13.04 installed through the UEFI system, not legacy BIOS
[07:14] <Nimble> I'm assuming the -o flag instructs apt to ignore some sort of time conflict from gpg, maybe an out of date key?
[07:14] <Nimble> did I get owned?
[07:17] <DJGummikuh> Morning!
[07:18] <DJGummikuh> I am having a problem with a disk image and kpartx
[07:18] <DJGummikuh> I'm trying to mount the image of my tablet to modify something inside.
[07:19] <DJGummikuh> I already linked a loop device to the file, and using fdisk /dev/loop1 even shows me a partition table. However, kpartx says "device-mapper: resume ioctl on loop1p1 failed: Invalid argument"
[07:19] <DJGummikuh> and all the googling I did so far turned up nothing :-(
[07:20] <Nimble> what tablet?
[07:20] <Nimble> oh, image of your tablet
[07:20] <Nimble> nevermind
[07:20] <DJGummikuh> the image to flash my tablet
[07:20] <DJGummikuh> cyanogen 10.2
[07:21] <DJGummikuh> http://pastebin.com/8CbY14nC
[07:22] <DJGummikuh> here is what I have :)
[07:22] <Nimble> you're trying to mount an .img, right
[07:23] <DJGummikuh> well 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] <magsv> hi all. I need to use 'nomodeset' to launch 13.04 properly everytime, otherwise a blank screen. Any fixes? (Intel Core i3 graphics)
[07:25] <Nimble> I'm not as versed in file system matters as I'd like to be
[07:25] <DJGummikuh> me neither :) which is why I came here
[07:25] <Nimble> but I'm assuming it's formatted in FAT and not UDF from your paste
[07:25] <DJGummikuh> yes, it's fat
[07:25] <DJGummikuh> it's, after all, not a cd image :)
[07:27] <magsv> bump :(
[07:27] <DJGummikuh> what kind of sad bump was that?
[07:27] <magsv> need to boot my laptop. But everytime I have to add 'nomodeset' in grub
[07:28] <magsv> gone crazy reading irrelevant matter online. so. :(
[07:29] <DJGummikuh> he. 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 tablet
[07:29] <DJGummikuh> and my xubuntu seems uncapable of doing that... and the online help I found so far also is not very helpful
[07:29] <magsv> 'not so far' haha you're light years away from me buddy
[07:30] <DJGummikuh> well in regards to boot issues and not helpful documentation :)
[07:30] <magsv> why do you want to 'switch' mount points?
[07:30] <DJGummikuh> my tablet has "sdcard0" and "sdcard1"
[07:30] <DJGummikuh> it puts everything on "sdcard0" which is, in fact, not a SD Card but some more internal space
[07:31] <magsv> android?
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> however I have a 32 gig sd card in it and want it to use that as its main memory
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> magsv: yep
[07:31] <Nimble> I don't think you're gonna get away with that
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> I did
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> up until 10.1 cm had the vold.fstab where I could switch the mount points
[07:31] <magsv> rooted?
[07:31] <Nimble> well, that's surprising
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> of course
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> Nimble: note that I did NOT swap the "internal" storage
[07:31] <Nimble> oh
[07:31] <Nimble> ok
[07:32] <Nimble> have you tried just using mount?
[07:32] <DJGummikuh> the internal "sdcard" is formatted FAT just like the external one
[07:32] <Nimble> mount -t umsdos ZT283.sd ~/your/preferred/folder/here -o loop
[07:32] <magsv> I remember on this old 2.3 I had written a script to tell android to use an ext partition as my internal
[07:32] <magsv> you could try something like that.
[07:32] <DJGummikuh> Nimble: umsdos is unrecognized
[07:32] <magsv> *might mess up everything already installed - so beware*
[07:32] <Nimble> are you using these commands on your tablet?
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> magsv: well the problem is that 10.2 replaces all those files at boot time from some obscure ram disk I fail to find
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> this is why I want to access the boot image, to find the ramdisk there and replace the "faulty" scripts at the root
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> Nimble: no
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> Nimble: on my xubuntu netbook
[07:33] <Nimble> anyway, there are three different filesystem drivers you can use to mount FAT
[07:33] <Nimble> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_filesystem_and_Linux
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> I tried vfat
[07:33] <Nimble> I don't know which one will work for you the best
[07:34] <Nimble> msdos?
[07:34] <DJGummikuh> uuhm... device-mapper: table: 252:0: loop1 too small for target: start=16065, len=7711200, dev_size=523
[07:34] <Nimble> lol
[07:34] <Nimble> welp, good luck
[07:34] <Nimble> you've hit the limit of my filesystem knowledge
[07:35] <DJGummikuh> haha lol :)
[07:35] <DJGummikuh> actually taht did not come from the mount command, seems that's the reason why kpart is failing..
[07:35] <Nimble> ah
[07:35] <DJGummikuh> the mount command saysmount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[07:35] <Nimble> maybe it's not really FAT?
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> no matter if I use msdos, vfat or whatever
[07:36] <Nimble> I know my nexus 4 uses a version of ext
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> well the problem is: it's not
[07:36] <Nimble> iirc
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> it's basically a hard disk
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> including a partition table
[07:36] <Nimble> ah, well
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> I can fdisk /dev/loop1 and get this:
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> /dev/loop1p1           16065     7727264     3855600    b  W95 FAT32
[07:37] <Nimble> ok, so it's a whole disk
[07:37] <Nimble> with a fat partition on it
[07:37] <magsv> Nimble: sidebar, how does one figure out the FS from a image? (sd in this case)
[07:37] <Nimble> I saw some things that said FAT in the paste DJGummikuh posted when he ran "file" on the file
[07:37] <magsv> oh ok.
[07:37] <DJGummikuh> magsv: losetup /dev/loop1 imagefile and then fdisk /dev/loop1
[07:38] <DJGummikuh> that gives you the patition table of that image, which has the line I just posed 3 lines up (W95 FAT32)
[07:38] <pio_> hello, i have a problem switching user to root user, after typing the password, it will say "Authentication failur". Does anyone knows why? thank you.
[07:38] <magsv> DJ ok.
[07:38] <Nimble> pio_, you used the wrong password
[07:38] <Nimble> oh wait
[07:38] <Nimble> lol
[07:38] <Nimble> there is no password set for root users on ubuntu
[07:39] <magsv> pio_: boot into single user and change root password :)
[07:39] <pio_> Nimble, I use Lubuntu
[07:39] <Nimble> it's for security purposes, if you want to run a command as the root user you can use sudo <command>
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> still ubuntu :)
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> magsv: there's a much simpler way
[07:39] <Nimble> I'm pretty sure it's the same across all derivative distros
[07:39] <pio_> i tried login in root without password, still AUthentication failure
[07:39] <vagos1268> hi
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> pio_: try sudo su
[07:39] <Nimble> no password will work
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> and then enter your USER password
[07:39] <pio_> ah
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> then you are root and can give root a password
[07:40] <DJGummikuh> THEn you can use su with your new root password
[07:40] <magsv> There is no root user no?
[07:40] <Nimble> there is
[07:40] <Nimble> the password just isn't set at default
[07:40] <Nimble> you can't login as root until you set it
[07:40] <DJGummikuh> magsv: well at least on each and every ubuntu I used so far it worked :)
[07:40] <vagos1268> i am loooking for driver of nvidia 210
[07:40] <pio_> yay! sudo su root worked!!! THANKS MEN!
[07:40] <DJGummikuh> welcome :)
[07:40] <magsv> ah.
[07:40] <DJGummikuh> adn again happens what happens EVERY time I come to freenode..
[07:40] <Nimble> ?
[07:41] <DJGummikuh> I come to ask for help and in the end end up helping others without having my question solved ;)
[07:41] <Nimble> yeah
[07:41] <Nimble> this happens every time I come here too
[07:41] <magsv> Everytime :)
[07:41] <pio_> whats your issues?
[07:41] <magsv> Does anybody know anything about why I need nomodeset for Intel graphics to log into lightdm?
[07:41] <Nimble> intel graphics?
[07:42] <Nimble> which one specifically
[07:42] <magsv> core i3
[07:42] <Nimble> nomodeset usually means you're having a problem with your graphics driver
[07:42] <magsv> I know! This is so weird.
[07:42] <Nimble> do you know the specific model name of your processor?
[07:43] <ki7mt> magsv: thats been an on & off issue for a long time. Somt releases I need nomodeset, and others I didn't.
[07:43] <MathersMarshall> Well it's time for my night to come to a close. Night all(:
[07:43] <Nimble> good night~
[07:43] <magsv> Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3217U CPU @ 1.80GHz
[07:43] <vagos1268> yes
[07:44] <magsv> ki7mt: so I have to live with this?
[07:44] <vagos1268> i have the 210
[07:44] <kevinsky> 08:44:30 -!- xPucTu4 (~yahoo@TrueLove.Putka.Info) joins #ubuntu
[07:44] <alecb> is there a way to replace the "fixed" Xorg that's the default in stuff like xterm to something else? (eg, arial or consolas or some other xft font I have installed)
[07:45] <vagos1268> i can't have resolution of screene larger than 1024 x 768
[07:45] <magsv> Additional: X -reconfigure fails because of the no of screens more than detected error
[07:45] <magsv> vagos1268: manually edit xorg.conf?
[07:46] <vagos1268> lets see
[07:46] <helmut_> hi
[07:46] <ki7mt> magsv: until a kernal release comes out that resolves it, I would say yes, if you have to use it now to avoid the black-screen.
[07:46] <vagos1268> no
[07:46] <vagos1268> the command cad found
[07:47] <vagos1268> command can't found
[07:47] <Nimble> magsv, http://askubuntu.com/questions/257346/intel-mobile-4-series-drivers-with-nomodeset-parameter
[07:47] <Nimble> did this work for you?
[07:47] <vagos1268> lets see
[07:47] <imghost> magsv, paste the output ofgksudo gedit /etc/default/grub , graphics card
[07:47] <Nimble> intel's ark says your processor has an hd 4000
[07:48] <Nimble> but I don't know if that's the same as an intel mobile 4 series
[07:48] <Nimble> you should do what imghost says
[07:48] <Nimble> lol
[07:49] <imghost> Nimble, Adding the nomodeset parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers
[07:49] <Nimble> well, I know that much
[07:49] <magsv> checking. rebooting. lunching. brb. thanks Nimble.
[07:50] <krypto> I am trying to create a bootable disc from ubuntu 12.04 server iso, after making changes used "genisoimage -o 6.iso -R  /root/iso" but When trying to boot from new iso its showing "Could not read from CDROM code 004" any idea how to solve this.
[07:50] <magsv> imghost: will be right back.
[07:50] <magsv> thanks.
[07:50] <vagos1268> ahhh
[07:50] <vagos1268> i am lost
[07:51] <vagos1268> you say to right at the commmand
[07:51] <salah> So I have this famous problem, where my computer freezes for 1 second each 30th second or so. This is a week old computer so it's probably not Firefox that is to heavy...
[07:51] <Diplomatico> Hello, I can't access certain folders, like "usr" using the cd command.It works with others, like "Desktop".
[07:51] <salah> And I have actually no idea where to begin searching for errors
[07:52] <alecb> bump -- is there a way to replace the "fixed" Xorg that's the default in stuff like xterm to something else? (eg, arial or consolas or some other xft font I have installed)
[07:52] <vagos1268> i am downloading a driver
[07:52] <ikonia> alecb: not without rebuilding the packages that depend on them
[07:52] <ROPA> what command do I use to start firefox with a 5 second delay?? I want it to start every time I boot, so I added it to the startup menu. But, it starts so quickly, that it can't find the server(s), so none of the pages load.
[07:53] <ikonia> alecb: or do you just mean the font rather than the actual software
[07:53] <alecb> ikonia: I mean having it so when stuff wants to display "fixed" it displays eg, arial
[07:54] <Nimble> magsv, are you on irc with the computer you are trying to fix?
[07:54] <ikonia> alecb: I guess it depends if that's hardcoded to a font name, or just hardcoded to "default" in which case changing the default in the font server seems possible
[07:54] <salah> ROPA: sleep X && COMMAND, change X with seconds and COMMAND with your command. For example sleep 3 && firefox
[07:55] <Someus> Hello there! I tried to install Xubuntu and installation was successful but when OS started it was stuck at blue Xubuntu loading screen.
[07:55] <ROPA> salah tried that, and nothing happens, it's as though I didn't have firefox in the startup menu at all.
[07:58] <jason3> `/c
[07:58] <nownot> when I try adduser it tells me it already exist but its not in listed in cat /etc/passwd ... what gives?
[07:58] <Someus> Hello there! I tried to install Xubuntu and installation was successful but when OS started it was stuck at blue Xubuntu loading screen.  What's the problem?
[08:01] <Beldar> nownot, you have a desktop?
[08:01] <nownot> Beldar: server instance
[08:01] <Beldar> never mind than

[08:03] <DJGummikuh> gnah why can't nobody help me? :(
[08:04] <Ben64> DJGummikuh: you haven't said anything here for like 23 minutes. asking a question  may help
[08:04] <Nimble> DJGummikuh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1000644
[08:04] <Nimble> Ben64, that's not really fair
[08:04] <Nimble> he asked his question when he joined, is he supposed to spam it over and over?
[08:05] <Nimble> try the stuff in the third post DJGummikuh
[08:05] <Ben64> so saying "gnah why can't nobody help me? :(" is productive?
[08:05] <Nimble> he seems to succeed in mounting a FAT partition
[08:05] <Ben64> can repeat the question usually 15 minutes or so, its already way past normal scrollbacks
[08:05] <Someus> I am trying to download iso trought Xubuntu Live USB but it wont allow me to save file on Notebooks HDD. Permission Denied. How to allow?
[08:05] <DJGummikuh> Ben64: that was not meant to be productive, more like whining ;)

[08:08] <Someus> I get in Transmission torrent client Error: Permission Denied
[08:08] <Someus> aeon-ltd yes xubuntu
[08:08] <aeon-ltd> Someus: we spoke here a few days ago, you mentioned your ubuntu was feeling slow and your ram usage was high (90%)
[08:09] <Someus> yes
[08:09] <Someus> I rememeber
[08:09] <Someus> I deleted Ubuntu
[08:09] <aeon-ltd> what?
[08:09] <Someus> Now i am in Xubuntu Live CD
[08:09] <Ben64> so whats the problem? install it from the cd?
[08:09] <Someus> But install doest work
[08:09] <aeon-ltd> ok
[08:09] <Someus> I isntalled then restarted and Xubuntu got stuck at blue loading screen
[08:10] <Someus> So i want to download correct Xubuntu Iso and copy to USB correctly and try again
[08:10] <Someus> So i have no working OS on PC hard drive :) Just live usb now :)
[08:10] <Ben64> ok so where are you trying to download to
[08:11] <Someus> I try to download to PC hard drive because usb has 300 mb free space
[08:11] <Ben64> and are you running from live cd or usb
[08:11] <Someus> 1.8GB live usb
[08:11] <Ben64> you can't write a new usb onto the usb you're running from :|
[08:11] <Someus> ah yes
[08:11] <Someus> haha
[08:12] <Someus> Im stucl
[08:12] <Someus> I don't know the problem. Xubuntu installs just fine. But it wont start
[08:13] <Ben64> try nomodeset maybe?
[08:13] <Someus> Stuck at startup loading screen and i would wait forever
[08:13] <Ben64> or ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a console
[08:18] <basss> how can i create an ssh tunnel that would open any link from the destination server ?
[08:21] <DJGummikuh> is there a way to access a "u-boot legacy uImage" file's content?
[08:22] <R1ck> hi guys. suppose you have a VPS running somewhere and want to have a reinstall done, would you want to have to confirm this reinstall via e-mail or would you rather have it be click-click-yesimreallysure-click-done?
[08:23] <danato> hey I jst accidentally updated my 13.10 ubuntu to 14.04, but it kept my 3.12.6 kernel, I'm guessing there no clean and fast way to rollback, so what negative implications can I get?
[08:24] <somsip> danato: instability?
[08:24] <danato> somsip: what kind of instability?
[08:25] <somsip> danato: the kind that comes from using alpha software
[08:25] <danato> sorry
[08:25] <R1ck> danato: some packages may have been built against, and require, the later kernel header files
[08:25] <R1ck> danato: so they might break
[08:26] <danato> Rick: so should I reinstall Ubuntu or update to the latest kernel? which is also an alpha
[08:26] <R1ck> danato: well, do you want to run alpha?
[08:27] <danato> Rick: I dont know how instable is it at this point, I jst booted and was able to connect, but I ddnt test it much
[08:28] <R1ck> danato: oh, I'm confused how you "accidentally" update to 14.04 :) but I figure it should be quite stable at this point
[08:29] <Beldar> danato, #ubuntu+1 is the 14.04 channel
[08:29] <somsip> danato: 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 be
[08:30] <Sebastien> danato, typos?
[08:32] <danato> Sebastien, R1ck: yup, it was a typo, I was gonna type do-release-upgrade -h and I typed -d instead, I was tired
[08:32] <danato> I canceled it, but today when I ran a dist-upgradrighte command I got this massive update, I suspected something wasnt
[08:33] <danato> *dist-upgrade *something wasnt right
[08:40] <odin_> does ubuntu not have a default iptables save/restore mechanism? i.e. it looks like I need to edit scripts to implement this feature myself
[08:41] <odin_> I would expect like RH I simple save a file or run something like "service iptables save" and something does it for me removing human error
[08:42] <R1ck> whats the command you can use to find out the memory in your system again? (not amount, but DDR, MHz, etc)
[08:42] <odin_> R1ck,  'free' ?
[08:43] <odin_> right the I edit /etc/rc.local and use: /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables.rules  ## it is clumsy and weird I have to do this myself
[08:43] <R1ck> odin_: no, *not* amount :)
[08:43] <odin_> R1ck, find the memory in your system?  open the lid of the case ?
[08:43] <R1ck> odin_: afaik theres no default init script for iptables rules, but you can take the skeleton script and make it start/stop a firewall script of your choosing
[08:44] <R1ck> odin_: assume I'm a) very lazy or b) the machine is 500miles away
[08:44] <R1ck> ah I remembered. it was ipmidecode or something
[08:45] <slimjimflim> hi, i just installed ubuntu on a del n5110 and it periodically crashes with this weird checkery pattern on the screen.  anyone know anything about this?
[08:48] <R1ck> dmidecode was the command
[08:48] <slimjimflim> lspci tells me i have a:
[08:48] <slimjimflim> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[08:49] <slimjimflim> i'm guessing that's the issue
[08:49] <slimjimflim> ^^^^^dell
[08:49] <odin_> and I thought modern Intel driver were the best with linux
[08:50] <slimjimflim> odin_: apparently not in my case
[08:50] <odin_> just would be nice to catch up on hardware performance, but for non 3d they good
[08:50] <R1ck> slimjimflim: when it does that, hit ctrl-alt-f1, log in, and check logs to see what happened
[08:50] <slimjimflim> R1ck: i tried the ctrl-alt f*s and got nothing
[08:50] <slimjimflim> can't remember if i tried f1 tho
[08:51] <slimjimflim> i know ctrl-alt f7 is my normal xwindows
[08:51] <odin_> slimjimflim, maybe take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and older files of similar name
[08:51] <Someus> Hi i fixed my problem. I installed Xubuntu correctly by unchecking Propretiary drivers
[08:51] <slimjimflim> odin_: ok
[08:51] <R1ck> slimjimflim: it looks like a graphics issue, which should leave the rest of the system running, so ctrl-alt-f1 should work, if it doesnt you can try to ssh into your system from another host
[08:52] <slimjimflim> R1ck: k i'll try that
[08:52] <slimjimflim> checking logs now
[08:52] <Apollo> this is the troubleshooting and support ubuntu channel correct?
[08:52] <odin_> slimjimflim, enabled Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (or try it as well, it should make X11 restart, causing complete desktop logout etc..) it is useful to know if your system recovers to good video
[08:53] <slimjimflim> odin_: cool never knew about that
[08:53] <Ben64> odin_: i don't think that works anymore
[08:53] <slimjimflim> i'ma pastie my whole Xorg.0.log
[08:54] <Dudytz> hi all! If a user create a GPG key and store it in the Passwords and Keys, the root can read this key? Or only the user?
[08:54] <odin_> only because it is disabled key-sequence by default, not because feature is not implemented
[08:55] <lea_> bonjour
[08:55] <odin_> slimjimflim, well it should at least confirm the hardware it sees, the driver version, the hardware chipset kind, etc...
[08:55] <lea_> comment ta les vous
[08:55] <lea_> hello whate is you maime
[08:55] <slimjimflim> odin_: should i paste my whole log or just the last x lines?

[08:56] <odin_> slimjimflim, all of it, might as well, there should not be anything security sensitive in it (but you check it)
[08:56] <slimjimflim> odin_: right that's what i was thinking
[08:56]  * Someus sings a christmas song for slimjimflim
[08:57] <Dudytz> If a user create a GPG key and store it in the Passwords and Keys, the root can read this key? Or only the user?

[09:02] <DJones> slimjimflim: Someus: This is a support channel, if you want to wish people merry christmas you are welcome to have that conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic, but please keep this channel clear for support issues
[09:02] <Someus> People in the name of rules and laws forget about love and friendliness
[09:03] <slimjimflim> ok anyways, http://pastie.org/8570917
[09:03] <slimjimflim> my gfx card sucks
[09:03] <odin_> slimjimflim, (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so    (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"   compiled for 1.13.0, module version = 2.20.9
[09:03] <slimjimflim> odin_: o.O
[09:03] <slimjimflim> do i have the wrong driver?
[09:04] <odin_> no it is just probably too new!  here, I swap you for this older laptop I have here :)
[09:04] <Someus> I understand this is ubuntu support channel and i really like to get help here. But i wish you merry christmas.
[09:04] <slimjimflim> lol
[09:04] <Someus> Just relax more
[09:04] <slimjimflim> ikr
[09:04] <Someus> We need to relax
[09:04] <slimjimflim> happy festivus Someus
[09:05] <andyfied> merry belated solstice Someus
[09:05] <slimjimflim> lol
[09:06] <slimjimflim> odin_: so you say my gfx card is too new, how do you come to that conclusion?
[09:06] <odin_> slimjimflim, is it 1280x768 ?
[09:07] <odin_> just 1366x768 is a new size to me
[09:07] <Someus> To everyone there hopeless soul out there: You always can trust in Jesus. No matter what situation you are in Jesus loves you! Merry Christmas. If this somehow brake the rules so be it. Rules are to server me. I wont server a letter.
[09:08] <slimjimflim> odin_: it says 1360x768 (16:9) in the gui settings
[09:09] <odin_> slimjimflim, ok so lookup your CPU/GPU model and Xorg driver 2.20.9 for bugs/updates?
[09:09] <slimjimflim> odin_: link?
[09:09] <slimjimflim> just x.org?
[09:09] <odin_> you using quantal... well like on google!
[09:10] <slimjimflim> idk what quantal is
[09:10] <odin_> aka Ubuntu 12.10
[09:10] <Rory> !quantal
[09:10] <slimjimflim> oh
[09:11] <odin_> but this distro version is older than your hardware ?  I guess you are using 12.10 from the driver version  xserver-org-video-intel for 2.20.9
[09:11] <odin_> so can you try something newer ?  saucy ?
[09:11] <odin_> !saucy
[09:11] <slimjimflim> odin_: ya maybe.  lts is comfortable tho :p
[09:12] <odin_> !trusty
[09:12] <slimjimflim> bleeding edge is scary
[09:12] <odin_> this is next LTS I think, last LTS was 12.04  (not 12.10)
[09:12] <slimjimflim> oh hrm
[09:13] <slimjimflim> i guess i upgraded farther than i wanted to
[09:13] <odin_> this is no guaranteed to fix things but you can't expect brand new chipset to work on 18month old driver
[09:13] <slimjimflim> i didn't realize this was such an awesome new box
[09:13] <odin_> what is the CPU type ?  cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep model
[09:14] <slimjimflim> model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz
[09:14] <slimjimflim> x4
[09:14] <odin_> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xserver-xorg-video-intel  (your Xorg.log says inter_drv.so module version = 2.20.9, SO IT IS MY GUESS YOU USING "QUANTAL")

[09:24] <bestdnd> Hi all. I just upgraded to 12.10, and now I can't start Totem. writing "totem" to the terminal, I get the following http://paste.ubuntu.com/6622225/
[09:26] <nyros> hi all
[09:26] <Oz4fuWow> bestdnd: do you really mean 12.10 or 13.10?
[09:27] <Pramod> Hi all
[09:27] <bestdnd> not sure. it's the new version
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> !info totem
[09:28] <Oz4fuWow> bestdnd: then it is 13.10 where 13 is the year 2013 and 10 the month october as release date
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> bestdnd: install vlc, its the best player out there
[09:28] <Oz4fuWow> bestdnd: what graphics card and driver do you use?
[09:29] <bestdnd> vlc works. I have nvidia card, and don't know about my driver
[09:32] <Oz4fuWow> bestdnd: GLX have something to do with OpenGL and that has to do with graphics on your GUI. when totem is complaining about missing support then maybe other software will soon moan too
[09:32] <Oz4fuWow> bestdnd: maybe you just need to install the nvidia-current package and reboot
[09:33] <bestdnd> I'll look it up. Thanks
[09:34] <Oz4fuWow> !opengl
[09:34] <Oz4fuWow> hmmm
[09:35] <Pramod> Hi I am using  ubuntu 12.04 Gnome3 is not working perfectly and extensions are also not good
[09:35] <Pramod> is there any alternative
[09:35] <Pramod> ?
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> Pramod: define 'not working' plz
[09:35] <Oz4fuWow> Pramod: depends where the problem is located.  can you describe the problem a bit more?
[09:36] <Pramod> yes it is very slow when I am  using my system. Moreover I saw only few extensions
[09:37] <Pramod> and notifications are also not working
[09:37] <Oz4fuWow> Pramod: what are your hardware specs?
[09:42] <SmallJoker> Hello, does someone know how I get rid of the "VESA" graphic driver?
[09:42] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: install your proper graphics driver?
[09:42] <Rory> SmallJoker: What graphics card do you have? (What's the output of the command: lspci | grep VGA) ?
[09:43] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: I have no Idea how to do that..
[09:43] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: pastebin what Rory sugested plz
[09:43] <SmallJoker> I'll use pastebin, please wait
[09:43] <Rory> SmallJoker: Should be one line
[09:43] <SmallJoker> Ah not needed: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[09:44] <Rory> SmallJoker: Wow OK, what are you using? An old PC?
[09:44] <Rory> SmallJoker: Open the Software Sources program, go to the Additional Drivers tab
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> sis sounds old to me too
[09:44] <SmallJoker> Not really old...I can stil work on it
[09:44] <Rory> Yeah but you might be stuck with that VESA driver
[09:45] <SmallJoker> Well, I've got this package/folder: "xf86-video-sismedia-0.9.1", I compiled it and ... tuck at this point
[09:45] <SmallJoker> *stuck
[09:45] <Rory> brb meeting
[09:46] <SmallJoker> Rory: The problem is, VESA provides me OpenGL 2.1 which isn't supported by my integrated graphics, therefore I get ultra-low FPS
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: here's a page on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Sis
[09:46] <Pramod> hi what do you mean hardware spec? I have 500GB harddisk 2GB RAM
[09:46] <Pramod>  I am using 12.04
[09:47] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: I've already read that page and xorg does not seem to change alot
[09:47] <lotuspsychje> !info xserver-xorg-video-sis
[09:47] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: you got this package?
[09:47] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: wait, let me check
[09:48] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: yes, I already got that one
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: not sure what else we can do on this then
[09:48] <PhilipM> Hi. What are holes in files (lseek) useful for?
[09:48] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: But then, why it keeps saying "VESA" at the system Information?
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: can you lshw -C video plz
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: see whats next to driver=
[09:51] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: http://pastebin.com/iSBdeXw1
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: hmm no driver...did you check 'additional driver' section?
[09:52] <Pramod> patrick: what do you mean hardware spec? I have 500GB harddisk 2GB RAM

[09:52] <aisyah> hello
[09:52] <aisyah> hi all
[09:52] <aisyah> is ubuntu distro good for HTPC?
[09:53] <imghost> SmallJoker, what's up?
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> imghost: he's got a VESA on his sis card
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> imghost: trying to get his card working
[09:53] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: "additional_drivers" only shows me my wireless-card, no entry of a graphic driver
[09:54] <SmallJoker> imghost: Hey, some problems again :3
[09:54] <imghost> lotuspsychje, ok :),
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> aisyah  old post (2008-2009) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1093540
[09:54] <imghost> SmallJoker, summarise it in one line will try
[09:54] <aisyah> thanks MonkeyDust
[09:55] <Rory> SmallJoker: Can you install the package "xserver-xorg-video-sis" ?
[09:55] <MonkeyDust> aisyah  this is more recent http://askubuntu.com/questions/325179/setup-htpc-with-ubuntu-tv
[09:55] <SmallJoker> Rory: that's already installed
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: sis website also got linux drivers, not sure if this will help you..
[09:55] <Rory> SmallJoker: Then you're almost certainly stuck with VESA because that package provides the up-to-date SIS driver, you probably got an old legacy card
[09:55] <SmallJoker> imghost: What do you mean?
[09:56] <imghost> SmallJoker, paste the output of cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:56] <PhilipM> for nothing?
[09:56] <Rory> Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel
[09:56] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: Well, I've already serval drivers here, one seems to be okay: "xf86-video-sismedia-0.9.1" but I've no idea how to install it
[09:56] <imghost> Rory, hi boss :)
[09:57] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: try what Rory sugested
[09:58] <SmallJoker> Rory, well is that link addressed to me? What do I need to fill in there?
[09:59] <SmallJoker> Oh i see
[09:59] <imghost> SmallJoker, paste the output of cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:59] <imghost> SmallJoker, or use this to check the error cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> imghost: whats the EE for?
[10:01] <SmallJoker> sorry, I had something to do in RL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6622351/
[10:03] <imghost> lotuspsychje, i use it to check the errors
[10:03] <lotuspsychje> imghost: does that work for syslog errors too?
[10:03] <imghost> lotuspsychje, yes
[10:03] <lotuspsychje> imghost: cool lemme try that
[10:03] <imghost> lotuspsychje, sure
[10:04] <Rory> SmallJoker: Looks like you're using the sis driver not VESA. What issue were you actually having in the first place?
[10:04] <lotuspsychje> imghost: cat /var/log/syslog | grep EE shows nothing= no errors?
[10:04] <imghost> lotuspsychje, yes
[10:05] <SmallJoker> Rory, in the system informations, it shows me: "Graphics" "VESA: 6330" and I've got a too high OpenGL, one which isn't really supported by my graphics
[10:07] <caliel> hello - I was thinking about changing my distro to ubuntu - Do you know if the installation in UEFI is easy or not ?

[10:14] <lotuspsychje> !info qt-doc
[10:14] <SmallJoker> Rory, well I see the change of the OpenGL with a game, on WinXP OpenGL 1.4 = 14 frames per second, on Ubuntu OpenGL 2.1 = 3 fps, this seems like I need to change something...
[10:15] <Romance> qt4-doc i mean
[10:15] <Romance> !info qt4-doc
[10:16] <lotuspsychje> Romance: after your upgrade, re-uninstall it if you dont need it

[10:42] <VitoCorleone> There is a directory, and in CLI...how can I find out the whole size of that directory?
[10:43] <Rory> VitoCorleone: du /path/to/directory
[10:43] <Rory> VitoCorleone: use "du -h" for a human-readable output (Mb, Gb etc)
[10:43] <VitoCorleone> du -h /directory
[10:43] <VitoCorleone> like that?
[10:49] <VitoCorleone> Is there a specific command to findout which directory is using the most space on a linux server?
[10:53] <KI7MT> VitoCorleone: try this .. change the ./* to where you want to search: du -hsx ./* | sort -rh | head -10

[11:10] <Manzin> guys, I mistakenly deleted /usr/local/cpanel, and now, when I try to start my httpd server, I get this error: "RewriteMap: file for map LeechProtect not found:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect" - it isn't starting up, please help.
[11:12] <gordonjcp> Manzin: try reinstalling cpanel?
[11:12] <Manzin> with yum?
[11:13] <Manzin> "yum install cpanel" says cpanel isn't available.
[11:13] <Stefilutz> hello
[11:13] <gordonjcp> Manzin: wouldn't be yum, no
[11:13] <gordonjcp> yum sounds like a Redhat thing
[11:13] <Stefilutz> Hello !
[11:13] <KI7MT> Manzin: what server version are you talking about?
[11:13] <Stefilutz> BYE !
[11:14] <Manzin> How can I remove these lines: "<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
[11:14] <Manzin> RewriteEngine on
[11:14] <Manzin> RewriteMap LeechProtect prg:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect
" in httpd.conf from commandline? I am not very good with a CLI editor.
[11:15] <FloodBot1> Manzin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:15] <gordonjcp> Manzin: comment them out
[11:15] <Manzin> gordonjcp, what do you mean?
[11:15] <Manzin> I am in SSH.
[11:15] <Manzin> I am not a expert with nano or vim.
[11:15] <gordonjcp> you don't need to be an "expert"
[11:15] <gordonjcp> you just need to be functionally literate
[11:16] <Manzin> is there a specific command to remove those 4 lines from httpd.conf?
[11:16] <gordonjcp> no, because that would be pointlessly specific
[11:16] <gordonjcp> open the file with whatever editor you like, probably nano is going to be your best bet
[11:16] <gordonjcp> scroll down
[11:16] <gordonjcp> stick a "#" in front of those lines
[11:16] <gordonjcp> save and exit
[11:16] <gordonjcp> and then try restarting your sever
[11:16] <gordonjcp> *server
[11:17] <aaronmehar> Manzin, just add # to the start of every line from <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> to </IfModule> then /etc/init.d/httpd reload
[11:17] <aaronmehar> actually before the reload do "httpd -S" if the syntax is OK then reload

[11:29] <uBUXUBu> why does ubuntu report my graphics as vesa redwood (i have radeon 5570???)
[11:34] <MonkeyDust> uBUXUBu  maybe the card is too old or new, ubuntu does not recognize it, vesa redwood may be the closest it knows
[11:34] <uBUXUBu> so am i getting the use of this card??
[11:34] <uBUXUBu> does this mean my graphics card is not even used
[11:35] <Ben64> not used to its full effect
[11:35] <uBUXUBu> thats gonna pzzz me off
[11:35] <Ben64> vesa is a generic driver, works with pretty much everything
[11:35] <uBUXUBu> oh great
[11:39] <Beldar> Ben64, That info will drive their compulsive worry into full thrust. ;)
[11:39] <Ben64> well he left before i could give more info

[11:50] <aisyah> hi icezwo
[11:51] <uBUXUBu> i took the proprietay driver offered but after i take it it always says not activated
[11:51] <icezwo> can anyone help me with my Hypertransport, i have allready set the ht=on flag in the kernel butlscpu says Thread(s) per core:    1
[11:51] <icezwo>    
[11:51] <mikubuntu> my startup disk creator is misbehaving --- it won't allow me to change the file i want to burn to a usb -- trying to burn adriane-knoppix to usb for my blind friend
[11:51] <uBUXUBu> even after reboot
[11:51] <uBUXUBu> i tried the other driver it offered and same thing
[11:51] <uBUXUBu> but the green light in front of the driver is lit
[11:51] <mikubuntu> can i write to the usb via brasero or xfburn?
[11:52] <uBUXUBu> how do i avtivate this damn drivers and use my video card
[11:52] <mikubuntu> i've already made two cd's using brasero, but i don't see how to do a usb with it
[11:52] <icezwo> hi may you can help me with my problem ?
[11:54] <llutz> mikubuntu: you don't "burn" some iso to usb, you just write them. use dd/cat
[11:54] <iivvoo> hi
[11:55] <iivvoo> is it possible to install nagios3 on ubuntu 12.04 *without* apache, with nginx (and postgresql) in stead?
[11:55] <mikubuntu> llutz: do you mean i can just drag and drop the file into the usb icon/file location?
[11:56] <llutz> mikubuntu: no, use dd or cat
[11:56] <mikubuntu> llutz: ok, what are dd and cat
[11:56] <Rory> iivvoo: It is possible, there's a blog post by someone here http://johan.cc/2012/02/06/nagios-nginx/
[11:56] <llutz> iivvoo: nagios recommends "httpd" so there should be no problem to install it with nginx or lighttpd
[11:56] <iivvoo> llutz: no matter what I try, apt-get keeps installing apache
[11:57] <trijntje> mikubuntu: try unetbootin
[11:57] <llutz> iivvoo: http://askubuntu.com/questions/59551/how-to-burn-iso-to-usb-device
[11:57] <iivvoo> rory let me havea look at that, thanks
[11:57] <llutz> mikubuntu: : http://askubuntu.com/questions/59551/how-to-burn-iso-to-usb-device
[11:57] <llutz> iivvoo: sry wrong nick. did you already install nginx?
[11:58] <trijntje> Hi all, I just upgraded to 13.10 and I want to get my wireless working again with ndiswrapper, but I get errors when I try to install it from the repository
[11:58] <trijntje> ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-3.8.0-30-generic is not supported
[11:58] <iivvoo> llutz, I did
[11:59] <llutz> iivvoo: from repos using apt? i wonder why it still wants apache then...
[11:59] <trijntje> what can I do to install ndiswrapper on 13.10?
[11:59] <iivvoo> The following extra packages will be installed:  apache2-mpm-prefork (etc..)
[12:00] <iivvoo> while "nginx is already the newest version."
[12:00] <mikubuntu> llutz: why does that page you gave me say to format to ntfs --- isnt the usb supposed to be formatted fat32?
[12:01] <KI7MT> iivvoo: 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] <trijntje> mikubuntu: using unetbootin is much simpler, you can install it from the software center
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> iivvoo  same here, i added --simulate and it says it installs apache
[12:02] <iivvoo> KI7MT, I'm not depending on LTS to build my own packages :)
[12:03] <iivvoo> the post on johan.cc on this topic is rather trivial, "install nginx and nagios3, do some config"
[12:03] <mikubuntu> trijntje: i just opened unetbootin, but it doesn't have adriane-knoppix in the drop down
[12:03] <iivvoo> if it were that easy...
[12:04] <trijntje> mikubuntu: no, you have to download the iso yourself, and then select it from disk in unetbootin
[12:04] <mikubuntu> trijntje: ok, i already have the .iso downloaded
[12:05] <uBUXUBu> after i install the proprietary drivers it always says not activated??
[12:05] <uBUXUBu> whats going on
[12:06] <llutz> iivvoo: "LANG=C apt-cache depends nagios3*|grep -e apache -e httpd"   can you pastebin the output pls
[12:06] <mikubuntu> trijntje: about the formatting, is the usb supposed to be fat32?
[12:07] <iivvoo> llutz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6622831/
[12:07] <trijntje> mikubuntu: i think so, yes
[12:07] <mikubuntu> trijntje: and unmounted?
[12:08] <trijntje> mikubuntu: if something is wrong ,unetbootin will give an error
[12:08] <trijntje> just make sure you select the correct device to install to
[12:08] <mikubuntu> trijntje: ok, i'll try
[12:08] <trijntje> who can help me get ndiswrapper to work on 13.10 32bit?
[12:08] <trijntje> $ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

[12:09] <llutz> iivvoo: well,"aptitude search '~Phttpd'|grep ^i"     ngingx* listed?
[12:11] <llutz> nginx*
[12:11] <uBUXUBu> what is the terminal command to check and  see what graphics card ubuntu is using?
[12:11] <mattfury1> hey i have a huawei modem will i be able to netboot?

[12:13] <llutz> iivvoo: sorry no idea then why apt ignores that and still wants apache2
[12:13] <mattfury1> i have a 3gb connection limit

[12:17] <trijntje> uBUXUBu: no, that just shows you which graphics card is in the pc. Go to software and updates, tab 'additional drivers' to see if any additional drivers are available
[12:17] <uBUXUBu> i tried both cant see any difference
[12:17] <imghost> TriJntje, using cell now, i was trying to solve your problem anyway thanks
[12:18] <Ontani> Hi, i've got some issue with my sshd_config i've change permitRootLogin to yes but after a reboot its back to No
[12:18] <neyder_> uBUXUBu: juest a only system not get any diference, glxgears will give you different results
[12:18] <Ontani> why is this?
[12:18] <uBUXUBu> neyder_, please re-phrase that no i dea what u mean
[12:18] <neyder_> Ontani: are you shure changing sshd_config with sudo?
[12:19] <Ontani> yeah
[12:19] <Ontani> after the change when I restart my ssh service i'm able to login with root, but after a reboot i'm not
[12:19] <trijntje> imghost: I
[12:19] <uBUXUBu> it says the driver is activated but not currently in use
[12:19] <trijntje> imghost: I'm trying to install ndiswrapper on 13.10 but I keep getting errors
[12:19] <uBUXUBu> what in the heck does this mean
[12:20] <neyder_> uBUXUBu: so you are using drivers for your graphic
[12:20] <trijntje> $ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[12:20] <trijntje> FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
[12:20] <uBUXUBu> yes i am trying
[12:20] <uBUXUBu> but it says not in use
[12:21] <Ontani> hmmm same goes for a bunch of files, i've changed /etc/hostname after reboot it's back to original
[12:21] <neyder_> Ontani: uhm 'ls -l /etc/ssh'
[12:21] <uBUXUBu> even though i did install the proprietary drivers and its say activated not in use
[12:21] <neyder_> Ontani: paste contents of fstab
[12:21] <uBUXUBu> videos and my game play well?
[12:22] <neyder_> uBUXUBu: you shuld know that, i'm not on your desktop
[12:22] <imghost> uBUXUBu, whats the problem? i am on cell summarise it in one line, TriJntje, paste the output of lspci - c network
[12:22] <trijntje> uBUXUBu: depending on your video card, you might not even need additional drivers. I dont use them on my pc and gaming is fine
[12:22] <uBUXUBu> says unknown graphics in system
[12:22] <neyder_> trijntje: uBUXUBu has an ATI
[12:23] <imghost> TriJntje, use pastebinit
[12:23] <uBUXUBu> in drivers says i activated the proprietary driver but not in use thats my problem
[12:23] <uBUXUBu> brb
[12:23] <trijntje> MonkeyDust: lspci -c is invalid
[12:23] <neyder_> uBUXUBu: please reboot
[12:24] <uBUXUBu> ok
[12:24] <uBUXUBu> but have done it before but ok try again
[12:24] <imghost> uBUXUBu, first check whether your graphics cards supports switching or not check it from offiical site
[12:24] <uBUXUBu> no idea what u mean
[12:24] <uBUXUBu> switching?
[12:25] <uBUXUBu> i installed a 5570 and installed the proprietary drivers period
[12:25] <neyder_>  my USB3.0 flash drive doesn't work any more, do I have any hope? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6622857/
[12:26] <imghost> uBUXUBu, yes switching, by default kernel loads default modules but when you try to install proprietary drivers then first check its supported or not then you have to do proper switching by black listing one
[12:27] <imghost> otherwise different moules will conflicts with each other anf hence kernel will not able to load anyof them
[12:27] <Ontani> neyder_ : http://pastebin.com/kf9d2dxb
[12:27] <trijntje> imghost: lspci -c is an invalid command, but I know that I need ndiswrapper to get my broadcom chip to work. But in 13.10 ndiswrapper doesnt work
[12:27] <imghost> uBuxubu, otherwise different modules will conflicts with each other anf hence kernel will not able to load anyof them
[12:27] <imghost> trijntje i said lspci -c network
[12:28] <trijntje> imghost: yes, and that is not a valid command, invalid option 'c'
[12:29] <trijntje> imghost: can you paste a screenshot of that driver window?
[12:29] <trijntje> !paste
[12:30] <PhilipM> Hello
[12:30] <neyder_> Ontani: with version of ubuntu are you using, in wich system, why do you have an old ext3 FS?
[12:30] <trijntje> hi PhilipM
[12:30] <PhilipM> How is it possible to get a job as a Unix administrator if everybody requires previous experience?

[12:31] <imghost> trijntje, paste the output of lshw -c network
[12:32] <neyder_> Ontani: with version of ubuntu are you using, in wich system, why do you have an old ext3 FS??
[12:32] <neyder_> Ontani: sorry Up button deletes my message
[12:32] <Ontani> np
[12:32] <neyder_> Ontani: have you check SD card physical write protect?
[12:33] <Ontani> was thinking the exact same thing a few minutes ago
[12:33] <trijntje> imghost: http://pastebin.com/4iZZMLQX
[12:33] <Ontani> it's not locked
[12:36] <neyder_> Ontani: mount -l

[12:36] <imghost> trijntje,i only see ethernet interference, if you have broadcom wireless then paste the output of lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[12:37] <imghost> ethernet interface
[12:38] <VitoCorleone> ethernet interface
[12:38] <VitoCorleone> if you know what I am talkin' about.
[12:38] <VitoCorleone> all praise the ethernet interface.
[12:38] <VitoCorleone> ;)
[12:39] <Ontani> neyder_ : /dev/mmcblk0p3 on / type ext3 (rw)
[12:39] <imghost> VitoCorleone, i did correct it scrol up please and its t9 dictonary so when i typed inter then automaticaly interference
[12:39] <trijntje> imghost: I already know I need to use ndiswrapper, so this is all very pointless
[12:40] <mikubuntu> trijntje: thanks, unetbootin worked great for usb
[12:40] <neyder_> :S it shows as RW, if you want to configure, as workaround, put the SD card on other linux make changes and get back
[12:40] <neyder_> Ontani: previous was for you
[12:40] <trijntje> imghost: that command gives no output, lsusb shows13b1:0039 for the wifi dongle
[12:41] <mikubuntu> trijntje: does unetbootin work well for burning iso to cd also?
[12:41] <Ontani> rw isn't good?
[12:41] <bekks> mikubuntu: No.
[12:41] <mikubuntu> bekks: thx
[12:41] <bekks> mikubuntu: If you want to burn an image to a cd, use a cd burning application.
[12:41] <neyder_> Ontani: means read and write, so no reset have to be done.
[12:41] <imghost> trijntje, u did not tell you using usb wireless, that command shows whats in built wireless chips we have
[12:42] <Ontani> the changes I apply to my /etc/fstab are remembered
[12:42] <Ontani> so it almost has to be something else
[12:42] <mikubuntu> bekks: i already burned the cd's, i was having probs making a boot usb, but got it done with unet
[12:42] <neyder_> check rc files should they have some kind of resseting
[12:44] <neyder_> Ontani: I have to go out, luck with that
[12:44] <Ontani> thanks
[12:44] <trijntje> imghost: yes, I have a wifi dongle with Broadcom BCM43235 chipset that requires ndiswrapper to work. However, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper says no such module
[12:46] <bekks> trijntje: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[12:46] <imghost> trijntje, are you using dual boot?
[12:47] <bekks> trijntje: According to a very short google session, your BCM43235 works fine without ndiswrapper.
[12:47] <trijntje> bekks: according to a very short actually trying, it doesn't
[12:48] <trijntje> imghost: yes, I'm using dual boot
[12:48] <imghost> bekks, yes  exactly ndiswrapper uses windows network device drivers
[12:48] <bekks> trijntje: So which driver did you use? Did you place the firmware required, etc.?
[12:48] <bekks> imghost: I know how ndiswrapper works ;)
[12:48] <mikubuntu> bekks: can i use unetbootin to add a side by side install of adriane-knoppix directly to my laptop?
[12:49] <bekks> mikubuntu: no.
[12:49] <trijntje> bekks: which drivers should I use? I haven't found any so far
[12:49] <bekks> trijntje: Then you havent read the link given.
[12:50] <mikubuntu> bekks: is there any reason i shouldn't do a side by side of adriane with my ubuntu as long as i have the space?
[12:50] <bekks> mikubuntu: As long as you dont know hopw to fix your boot environment to boot Ubuntu again after using unetbooting to place adriane-knoppix, you should do it.
[12:51] <mikubuntu> bekks: if i can learn it well, i can teach my blind friend to use it
[12:51] <imghost> bekks, trijntje guys will solve this problem just letme finish my call
[12:51] <bekks> imghost: Yeah, solve it please but not sticking to ndiswrapper since his chipset works fine without ndiswrapper.
[12:52] <chuzgrutz> is ubuntu the official distro for africans?
[12:52] <andyfied> official distro for everyone
[12:53] <mikubuntu> chuzgrutz: canonical, the company that developed ubuntu, is owned/operated by a south african, but is used by 20 million people around the world
[12:53] <chuzgrutz> ah ok i like the name
[12:54] <mikubuntu> chuzgrutz: i am who i am, because of who we all are
[12:55] <hans__> hi
[12:55] <hans__> can some omne help me
[12:55] <cfhowlett> hans__, greetings
[12:55] <cfhowlett> !ask|hans__,
[12:56] <trijntje> bekks: I've followed that page, what now?
[12:56] <hans__> ok ubottu
[12:56] <hans__> i want to install a bin fil for my nas
[12:57] <hans__> now i get this mesage
[12:57] <chuzgrutz> mikubuntu: i dont understand what you mean is that for linux?
[12:57] <romildo> Is there a program to tell me the version of a truetype font?
[12:57] <chuzgrutz> i am who i am because of my parents
[12:57] <uBUXUBu> ubuntu 1204-system settings-prorietary drivers-says driver activated but not in use? what in the heck does that mean?
[12:57] <hans__> /home/hans/Downloads/storagemgrsetup.bin: 2468: exec: /tmp/install.dir.3411/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found
[12:57] <hans__> mis i java on my system its a new install
[12:58] <hans__> its a long time ago that i hat ubuntu
[12:58] <mikubuntu> chuzgrutz: 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 effort
[12:58] <uBUXUBu> and it says my graphics is unknown under system details-gives me the impression its not using my radeon 5570
[12:59] <uBUXUBu> ubuntu=for the good of all people
[13:01] <trijntje> bekks: 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 working
[13:03] <chuzgrutz> oh ok my mistake
[13:03] <chuzgrutz> does ubuntu support dogecoin
[13:03] <uBUXUBu> should i try 64bit ubuntu 1204? i have 32 bit now
[13:03] <uBUXUBu> i have 4gb ram
[13:03] <trijntje> uBUXUBu: can you post a screenshot of your driver screen?
[13:03] <trijntje> !paste
[13:04] <andyfied> chuzgrutz: ubuntu does support dogecoin
[13:04] <andyfied> i have instructions
[13:04] <chuzgrutz> plz link
[13:05] <Rienzilla> Hey 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] <jdm> how are the security updates to Ubuntu?
[13:05] <jdm> are they daily like microsoft windows?
[13:05] <andyfied> chuzgrutz: http://b.agilob.net/such-address-many-dig-on-linux-wow/ there is a bit that mentions zypper, just ignore that
[13:05] <jdm> do i need to reboot for all of them?
[13:05] <jdm> or most, etc?
[13:05] <chuzgrutz> wow thanks clicking
[13:05] <cfhowlett> uBUXUBu, if your machine can support 64 bit, try it
[13:05] <cfhowlett> jdm, no
[13:06] <trijntje> jdm: security updates are daily, other updates every two weeks. Its very rare to have to reboot after updates
[13:06] <trijntje> btw, windows doesnt have daily updates
[13:08] <uBUXUBu> itdoes support 64 bit
[13:09] <cfhowlett> uBUXUBu, ?  torrent 64 bit and install ...
[13:09] <uBUXUBu> cfhowlett, should run a lil faster huh
[13:09] <uBUXUBu> its pretty fast now actually
[13:09] <cfhowlett> uBUXUBu, debatable ...
[13:09] <uBUXUBu> but i know in 64 bit it will use all the ram
[13:09] <uBUXUBu> snappy now though
[13:10] <trijntje> uBUXUBu: 32bit also uses all the ram, check you system monitor
[13:11] <uBUXUBu> well 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] <trijntje> no, ubuntu can use more than 4GB ram with 32 bit, due to some trick I dont know ;)
[13:11] <uBUXUBu> for some reason its running like a sunburnt indian as it is though
[13:11] <bekks> uBUXUBu: You just have to use a PAE kernel.
[13:12] <trijntje> I run 32bit and I have 4G ram available
[13:12] <uBUXUBu> wow
[13:12] <Go|dfish_> !ops
[13:12] <cfhowlett> uBUXUBu, colorful AND offensive.
[13:12] <uBUXUBu> what is the benefit of staying with 32 bit?
[13:12] <bekks> uBUXUBu: None?
[13:12] <uBUXUBu> so there is no benefit
[13:13] <Go|dfish_> how do i get a booty like kim kardashian?
[13:13] <ItsMeLenny> how would i go about launching the i386 version of a program when i have both it and the 64bit version installed
[13:13] <uBUXUBu> so i think u mean that going to 64 bit is no benefit unless i install an awful otta ram
[13:13] <uBUXUBu> lot of*
[13:13] <ItsMeLenny> if you have 4gb or more of ram you should go 64bit
[13:13] <bekks> uBUXUBu: 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?
[13:14] <ItsMeLenny> although i have 64bit on my netbook which has 1gb of ram
[13:14] <uBUXUBu> i have read that 64 is snappier
[13:14] <bekks> uBUXUBu: Even with less than 4GB RAM you shoudl go with 64bit.
[13:14] <uBUXUBu> thats is what i thought bekks
[13:14] <andyfied> yeah, i got 2gb and i'm on 64bit
[13:14] <trijntje> bekks: I've followed the link you sent and copied the firmware files and rebooted, but I still have no wireless
[13:14] <uBUXUBu> a year or so ago ubuntu techs would recommend 32
[13:15] <uBUXUBu> i guess its more compatible now
[13:15] <andyfied> but i'm running lubuntu cos i think full flavour ubuntu might make it sluggish
[13:15] <bekks> trijntje: 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] <cfhowlett> andyfied, vanilla ubuntu would almost certainly clog your 2 gigs of ram
[13:15] <ftp> set chroot_local_user=YES, but can not restrict user to the virtual root directory, it still can change to /, what is the reason
[13:15] <fowl> andyfied, im running ubuntu ultralite 100s for the same reason
[13:15] <uBUXUBu> i tried lubuntu and its nice but its seemed to be the same speed as ubuntu or awfully close
[13:15] <bekks> uBUXUBu: teh devs recommend that since there stilll are 32bit only machines out there.
[13:16] <uBUXUBu> ok cool im glad thats the only reason bekks
[13:16] <trijntje> bekks: what do you mean? I went here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211 and followed the instructions
[13:16] <ItsMeLenny> how would i go about launching the i386 version of a program when i have both it and the 64bit version installed
[13:16] <andyfied> i wasn't even going to bother with a DE, but now i'm kind of glad i did
[13:16] <uBUXUBu> well when my 4 gb ram get here ima switch to 64 then
[13:16] <jdm> trijntje: some days it seems like it
[13:16] <uBUXUBu> this might be a nice lil boost
[13:16] <andyfied> only because i like to look at gkrellm :)
[13:17] <jdm> trijntje: i have a question since i havent used linux full time in years
[13:17] <uBUXUBu> i was thinking of making my page file ram 8gb...since ima have 4gb ram? is that enough?
[13:17] <ftp> chroot_local_enable=YES, it has no effect
[13:17] <bekks> trijntje: there are instructions for two drivers on that page. Whichc one did you follow?
[13:17] <jdm> trijntje: 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] <ftp> vsftpd.conf
[13:17] <bekks> ubottu: ubuntu has no page file. Ubuntu has swap. And 4.1GB are enough when having 4GB RAM.
[13:18] <bekks> uBUXUBu: ubuntu has no page file. Ubuntu has swap. And 4.1GB are enough when having 4GB RAM.
[13:18] <imghost> bekks, trijntje am back prblem solved?
[13:18] <uBUXUBu> but i had a crazy idea....install no swap BUT buy a fast flash drive and make that the swap ram??
[13:18] <ftp> chroot_local_user=YES, chroot_list_enable=YES and chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
[13:19] <bekks> uBUXUBu: what is "the swap ram"?
[13:19] <gordonjcp> uBUXUBu: no
[13:19] <uBUXUBu> wont work huh gordonjcp ?
[13:19] <ftp> ubuntu 13.10
[13:19] <gordonjcp> uBUXUBu: flash has a limited number of write cycles.  Using it for swap is a bad idea
[13:19] <trijntje> bekks: Im not sure, that page is really unclear
[13:19] <mvk1> i'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] <bekks> gordonjcp: It was, a decade ago. Nowadays you wont ever reacg that technical limit during your lifetime.
[13:20] <mvk1> https://github.com/mvklingeren/ambient-light-sensor-emulation
[13:20] <mvk1> anyone willing to try it out?
[13:20] <imghost> trijntje, what page?
[13:20] <uBUXUBu> bummer
[13:20] <bekks> trijntje: The page is perfectly clear, it is divided into the instructions for two drivers. Which one did you follow?
[13:20] <gordonjcp> bekks: you will if you beat the shit out of it with swap
[13:20] <uBUXUBu> sounded like it might make it run faster
[13:20] <mvk1> i could use some people testing it..
[13:20] <cfhowlett> mvk1, let's see; NSA/FBI are monitoring people via webcam and you want me to try your script?  SURE ...
[13:20] <bekks> gordonjcp: You wont. :)
[13:20] <gordonjcp> no-one uses swap any more anyway
[13:21] <uBUXUBu> well i hope i dont use the swap
[13:21] <bekks> gordonjcp: Thats nonsense. Everyone who uses hibernation uses swap.
[13:21] <uBUXUBu> i just make it just in case
[13:21] <trijntje> bekks: I did the brcmmac drivers because for brcmfmac  the instructions only say 'for usb driver no nvram file is needed'
[13:22] <bekks> trijntje: your chipset requires the brcmfmac driver, not the brcmmac
[13:22] <uBUXUBu> i 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] <raj1991raj> is there a command line dictionary for ubuntu 12.10
[13:22] <bekks> trijntje: And you cite just states that no nvram file is needed.
[13:22] <cfhowlett> raj1991raj, man man
[13:22] <raj1991raj> cfhowlett: what
[13:22] <trijntje> bekks: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211#Broadcom_brcmfmac_driver
[13:22] <cfhowlett> raj1991raj, terminal command: man man
[13:23] <bekks> trijntje: Yes, and?
[13:23] <bekks> trijntje: Did you follow the instructions there?
[13:24] <uBUXUBu> if someone could engineer a flash drive that can handle millions of writes my idea would work then prolly
[13:24] <raj1991raj> cfhowlett: i want a dictionary that would be command line. not a manual page for man
[13:24] <trijntje> bekks: where does it mention which files I need to copy:? it only says 'the firmware can be found ni the repository'
[13:24] <bekks> trijntje: Like providiing the sdio driver firmware, etc? And whats the full output of dmesg?
[13:24] <bekks> trijntje: Just read the full section...
[13:24] <bekks> trijntje: Three lines down...
[13:24] <raj1991raj> cfhowlett: an eglish to english dictionary
[13:25] <raj1991raj> english*
[13:25] <trijntje> bekks: I must be stupid or blind, because I dont see anything for my chipset, BCM43235
[13:25] <bekks> uBUXUBu: Current flash drives can handle that much writes...
[13:25] <uBUXUBu> then why cant i make a fast flash drive a swap drive?
[13:25] <VitoCorleone> bekks, windows or ubuntu.
[13:26] <bekks> VitoCorleone: Doesnt matter what I am using ;)
[13:26] <raj1991raj> no one knows ?
[13:26] <bekks> trijntje: Did you install the package from the repos mentioned?
[13:26] <bekks> trijntje: And do you mind to answer my previous questions?
[13:27] <trijntje> bekks: I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry. I dont see anything about packages on that page
[13:27] <VitoCorleone> bekks, 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] <bekks> trijntje: "The firmware can be found in the linux-firmware repository."
[13:27] <bekks> VitoCorleone: Doesnt matter for Ubuntu support in here.
[13:28] <cortexA9> hello 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] <VitoCorleone> bekks; answer my question please.
[13:28] <VitoCorleone> bekks, your job is to answer questions that are given to you.
[13:28] <cfhowlett> cortexA9, possible but something of a PITA to set up
[13:28] <bekks> VitoCorleone: Ignore set.
[13:28] <cfhowlett> !attitude|VitoCorleone,
[13:28] <trijntje> bekks: yes, and that repository contains hundreds of files, which one do I need?
[13:28] <mvk1> cfhowlett, you can see that the SH script uses generally available tools (on Ubuntu)
[13:29] <VitoCorleone> cfhowlett; what is a volunteer?
[13:29] <VitoCorleone> what is the difference between a helper and a volunteer?
[13:29] <mvk1> cfhowlett, https://github.com/mvklingeren/ambient-light-sensor-emulation/blob/master/autobright.sh
[13:29] <cortexA9> because i wanna dual booting ubuntu.
[13:29] <bekks> trijntje: "linux-firmware" is a package name. ;)
[13:30] <cfhowlett> mvk1, I stopped responding to your query because I don't know.  Thanks for the links but ... I still can't help.  Sorry.
[13:30] <cortexA9> and i don't want lost my windows partition
[13:30] <mvk1> cfhowlett, you see this last line, rm /tmp/snap00001.png
[13:30] <mvk1> cfhowlett, that means, right after getting luminance values, the image is deleted
[13:30] <cortexA9> *lose
[13:30] <cortexA9> sry
[13:31] <mvk1> cfhowlett, being alert these days is of course required
[13:31] <mvk1> thats more then true and sad
[13:31] <trijntje> bekks: you mean a .deb package?
[13:31] <cfhowlett> mvk1, 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.
[13:32] <trijntje> bekks: from the ubuntu repository?
[13:32] <bekks> trijntje: Yes.
[13:32] <mvk1> cfhowlett, dont be so frikin paranoid =]
[13:33] <trijntje> bekks: 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] <cfhowlett> mvk1, sounds just like "Trust us, we're the gov't and we're here to help you."
[13:33] <cortexA9> so i need a similiar wubi tool..
[13:33] <trijntje> bekks: linux-firmware is already installed
[13:33] <cortexA9> *similar
[13:34] <cortexA9> that works
[13:34] <cortexA9> with windows 7
[13:34] <cfhowlett> cortexA9, 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] <bekks> trijntje: Then answer my previous questions, like pastebin dmesg finally, etc.
[13:35] <cortexA9> yea cfhowlett
[13:35] <cortexA9> i need an alternative
[13:35] <uBUXUBu> ive used wubi...works nice for awhile (and i mean that literally)
[13:35] <uBUXUBu> after awhile...boot issue tend to crop up
[13:35] <cfhowlett> cortexA9, 2 alternatives.  A: dual boot.  B: virtualbox inside windows, put ubuntu in the Vbox
[13:35] <trijntje> bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6623235/
[13:37] <uBUXUBu> my fav way is to install 2 HD's....one with windows one with ubuntu
[13:37] <uBUXUBu> vboxes run slow with bad graphics
[13:38] <bekks> trijntje: And whats the output of "sudo ifconfig -a" and "sudo lsusb"?
[13:38] <trijntje> bekks: http://pastebin.com/kiimJQZF
[13:39] <MonkeyDust> uBUXUBu  you dislike *everything* about ubuntu, i wonder why you stick to it
[13:39] <cortexA9> i have windows 7.
[13:39] <uBUXUBu> no i love ubuntu MonkeyDust
[13:39] <cortexA9> right now
[13:39] <uBUXUBu> i just get mad when stuff doesnt work right or read out correctly
[13:39] <cortexA9> but i dont know if i can boot with grub..
[13:40] <cortexA9> because i had problems..
[13:40] <kibibyte> hi
[13:40] <kibibyte> i have no sound after todays upgrade
[13:40] <jdm> what file system is the default now?
[13:40] <kibibyte> [    7.955015] snd_hda_codec_hdmi: Unknown symbol snd_hda_get_connections (err -22)
[13:40] <jdm> i use to use ReiserFS before he murdered his family
[13:40] <kibibyte> what to do /
[13:40] <kibibyte> ?
[13:40] <bekks> trijntje: And whats the output of "sudo lsmod"?
[13:41] <trijntje> bekks: http://pastebin.com/9vVwDihc
[13:42] <bekks> trijntje: Well,for using the driver, you should modprobe it.
[13:43] <cortexA9> i need a confirm if i can use wubi with windows 7..
[13:43] <cortexA9> or not
[13:45] <cfhowlett> cortexA9, wubi "works" with win7
[13:45] <trijntje> bekks: I ran sudo modprobe brcmfmac, dmesg shows: [ 2031.389423] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac
[13:45] <trijntje> but still no wireless
[13:45] <uBUXUBu> wubi works good with w7, always install w7 1st...but afterawhile wubi gets screwed up...works good fora a few weeks sometimes a few months
[13:46] <uBUXUBu> nice thing about wubi is it unistall perfectly and completey in w7...even cleans out the registry and files system all with its own uninstaller
[13:46] <cfhowlett> cortexA9, 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 support
[13:48] <bekks> trijntje: pastebin dmesg again, along with ifconfig
[13:49] <cortexA9> what ubuntu version you recommend ?
[13:49] <linux|newb> dell inspiron 10 mini, ubuntu 12.04 - want to rotate screen and option is present in Displays but the changes won't stick... any ideas?
[13:49] <bekks> cortexA9: 12.04
[13:49] <trijntje> bekks: dmesg: http://pastebin.com/iA5qGE6L
[13:49] <trijntje> ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/cbsUCV6Y
[13:51] <cortexA9> bekks: if i want to upgrade 12.04 can i after ?
[13:51] <aaronmehar> im trying to use EOF to put data into file but the file doesnt exist - I thought I could put "touch /home/myfile;" then "cat /home/myfile <<EOF"
[13:51] <aaronmehar> but that creates the file but doesnt EOF the data
[13:51] <xubuntu287> Hi, can anyone help me to install radeon hd drivers in my notebook?
[13:52] <xubuntu287> Notebook: hp g62 GPU: radeon hd 5470 / intel graphic
[13:52] <cortexA9> i mean if i want to upgrade 12.04 to 12.10 or 13.04..
[13:52] <xubuntu287> I've tried it in many ways but just doesn't work
[13:52] <uBUXUBu> hah i just did that xubuntu287
[13:52] <cortexA9> is it possible ?
[13:52] <uBUXUBu> mine is 5570 radeon
[13:53] <xubuntu287> How?
[13:53] <bekks> cortexA9: you can - but waiting for 14.04 and then updating directly 12.04 -> 14.04 is more sensible
[13:53] <uBUXUBu> by using the built in proprietary driver search in ubuntu
[13:53] <denniz123456> hello
[13:53] <uBUXUBu> but it was confusing cuz it say in terminal i have the 5570 but in system says unknown
[13:54] <uBUXUBu> but it seems to be working
[13:54] <uBUXUBu> my videos and game runs well
[13:54] <xubuntu287> Yeah I already did that but the computer get heated a lot
[13:54] <cfhowlett> denniz123456, greetings
[13:54] <xubuntu287> so I assumed that it was not working
[13:55] <uBUXUBu> did it offer 2 choices xubuntu287 ?
[13:55] <uBUXUBu> i tried the experimantal driver but ended up using the other driver
[13:55] <xubuntu287> I can't remember
[13:55] <uBUXUBu> run it again
[13:55] <xubuntu287> ok thanks
[13:55] <cortexA9> ok thanks bekks
[13:56] <xubuntu287> i'll come back if I can't solve it
[13:56] <uBUXUBu> odd thing is it runs the same on any of them for me cant tell the difference
[13:56] <Pacy> is Physicist on this channel?
[13:57] <uBUXUBu> no pacy
[13:57] <Pici> Pacy: This is for Ubuntu support, try ##physics
[13:57] <uBUXUBu> by typing phy and hitting tab u will see he is not
[13:58] <Pacy> no Pici the physicist was a NickNAME OF A guy on this channel
[13:58] <Pici> Pacy: oh.
[13:58] <Pacy> Pici, and i think he changed the nick
[13:59] <shaz> Hi
[14:00] <shaz> Any1 here?
[14:00] <Pacy> hi sha
[14:00] <shaz> I hav ubuntu 13.10
[14:00] <shaz> Nd sumhow its wifi nd audio got disabled
[14:01] <Pacy> hi shaz what message is it announcing?
[14:01] <shaz> For audio i tried pulse-audio restart. Dat shows no output
[14:01] <shaz> Nd for wifi i tried rfkill unblock all
[14:01] <shaz> No output
[14:02] <Pacy> shaz actual no output is expected
[14:02] <shaz> So??
[14:02] <Pacy> shaz, but it would be fixed after running the command
[14:03] <Pacy> shaz, Is it written that wireless disabled by hardware switch?
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> what's "nd"?
[14:05] <shaz> Its showing ethernet network disconnected, its a disabled selection
[14:06] <shaz> Possibly, bcoz the wifi indicator light is also off
[14:07] <Pacy> shaz, don't you have a switch that might be switched off?
[14:08] <trijntje> bekks: and?
[14:08] <njsg> is there some way to get other icon themes for libreoffice (especially the old default theme?)
[14:08] <shaz> I tried switching it on, wifi indicator light doesnt glow. It works fine in windows though
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> njsg  better try #libreoffice, i guess
[14:09] <njsg> MonkeyDust: 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 ubuntu
[14:10] <njsg> MonkeyDust: in fact there are several theme packages in ubuntu, so this is definitely an ubuntu thing
[14:10] <njsg> MonkeyDust: yes, # apt-get install libreoffice-style-galaxy
[14:10] <njsg> and now I have the theme I was looking for
[14:11] <iivvoo> I'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 :-P
[14:11] <iivvoo> (did you know postgresql fails to install properly if your locale is messed up?)
[14:11] <njsg> iivvoo: are you setting the locale for the user where you get the error?
[14:12] <njsg> iivvoo: can you pastebin the output of "locale -a"?
[14:12] <njsg> iivvoo: and which locale do you *want* to be enabled?
[14:12] <iivvoo> njsg: en_GB would be fine
[14:12] <iivvoo> even en_US fails
[14:12] <shaz> Pacy??? U there?
[14:13] <njsg> iivvoo: please show the "locale -a"
[14:13] <njsg> shaz: no
[14:13] <iivvoo> njsg http://paste.ubuntu.com/6623416/
[14:14] <ltgr> hi
[14:14] <njsg> iivvoo: and the output of "locale" too, if it is not too much trouble?
[14:15] <koell> Is it a good idea to have different paritions on a NAS?
[14:15] <iivvoo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6623426/
[14:18] <trijntje> bekks: what should I do next to get my wifi to work?
[14:18] <njsg> iivvoo: if you just run locale, do you see any similar error message?
[14:18] <njsg> iivvoo: it should show error messages if the current locale can't be applied
[14:19] <iivvoo> no, I can't quite explain when I get the error and when not
[14:19] <njsg> iivvoo: which tool gives you the error?
[14:19] <iivvoo> perhaps my locale is actually setup properly right now but postgresql still fails to install
[14:19] <iivvoo> trying again now
[14:19] <njsg> iivvoo: 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 error
[14:21] <njsg> iivvoo: 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 variables
[14:21] <njsg> iivvoo: if you're unsure about that, try rebooting if you didn't yet

[14:54] <BluesKaj_> sudo reboot works too :)
[14:54] <xubuntu826> sudo init 6 just rebooted my pc
[14:54] <andyfied> davidbattlefield: i have no clue what armitage is. have you tried google.com?
[14:54] <zykotick9> xubuntu826: ;) we know what it does, it's just an "odd" suggestion
[14:55] <Zenger> Hi guys, I was attempting to install and configure postfix and somewhere along the way I messed up. Now I can't connect to my ssh :(. It keeps saying "Connection refused". I googled and found that I might have forgotten to configure openssh and now I'm locked out of my server :(
[14:55] <Zenger> Is there a way to recover ?
[14:56] <xubuntu826> ok, what else can I do?
[14:56] <davidbattlefield> Andyfied, yeah , i have done ma best. if you know someone who knows this, plz tell me.
[14:56] <andyfied> i'm going to google armitage, i really don't know what it is
[14:57] <davidbattlefield> andyfied, that might help me
[14:58] <andyfied> cyber attack management suite? i wouldn't know where to begin with that. i having trouble finding /var/log/messages
[14:59] <davidbattlefield> andyfied, yeah
[15:00] <makara> apparently Dropbox uses HTTPS, but when I etherape and wireshark, all I see it HTTP ??
[15:06] <startx> any one use aircrack ?
[15:08] <startx> hey
[15:08] <Zenger> I'm back with another question, I found a virtual console on my VPS provider and I'm able to connect my server. I still cant ssh to it. Keeps saying connection refused.
[15:08] <startx> any one use aircrack ?
[15:09] <Zenger> I tried reinstalling openssh-client/server
[15:09] <somsip> !anyone | startx
[15:09] <zykotick9> startx: it's not supported in #ubuntu try #aircrack-ng channel
[15:09] <zykotick9> somsip: see above
[15:09] <bekks> Zenger: Check wether ssh is running, wether a firewall is active, and which port ssh is listening to.
[15:09] <somsip> zykotick9: fair enough
[15:09] <startx> ok
[15:09] <pluto> ciao
[15:10] <Zenger> bekks: ps aux shows that ssh and sshd are running
[15:10] <startx> how to install aircrack-ng channel
[15:10] <startx> ?
[15:10] <bekks> Zenger: ssh is just the client.
[15:10] <zykotick9> startx: "/join #aircrack-ng" in your irc clinet
[15:10] <Zenger> bekks: i messed with this server so much I'm not even sure what to call a firewall :)
[15:10] <Zenger> bekks: how would one search for a firewall ?
[15:10] <bekks> Zenger: Look for iptables, most likely.
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> Zenger  there's ufw (easy) and fwbuilder (advanced)
[15:12] <Zenger> I'm looking at my Ip tables and I see a lot of reference to ufw
[15:12] <Zenger> is it safe to just remove it ?
[15:12] <MonkeyDust> Zenger  sudo ufw disable is enough
[15:13] <Zenger> MonkeyDust: should I reboot my machine ?
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> Zenger  to achieve what, exactly?
[15:13] <startx> how to install aircrack-ng channel ?
[15:14] <Zenger> MonkeyDust: ah I see. but no effect what so ever still
[15:14] <Zenger> I guess I need to somehow regenerate my ip tables or privs or something
[15:16] <Zenger> good news
[15:16] <Zenger> sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
[15:16] <Zenger> did the trick, unfortunatelly for port 22 which I actually tried to hide
[15:17] <llutz> Zenger: use portnumbers not service-names if you run services on non-default ports
[15:18] <Zenger> llutz: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 95 -j ACCEPT should do the trick , assuming I'm going to use the 95 port ?
[15:18] <llutz> yep Zenger
[15:18] <Zenger> llutz: thank you.
[15:19] <llutz> Zenger: if you use service-names like "ssh" it takes default ports from /etc/services
[15:19] <startx> aircrack is only for backtrack ?
[15:19] <Someus> Hello how can i make graphics card perform better?
[15:20] <Romance> in my vps, there are both upstart and systemd daemon running, which one is safe to kill/stop ?

[15:22] <bean__> Romance: I'd leave both -- they're likely both being used.
[15:22] <trijntje> ObrienDave: I tried that, bekks linked me to it but I didn't get it to work
[15:23] <Someus> trijntje yes!
[15:23] <Someus> I have ATI X1200
[15:23] <Someus> I have opensource driver
[15:24] <llutz> !info aircrack-ng | startx   install it, read documentation, don't ask here again, people won't give support.
[15:24] <sdouble> my sound is only working with mpd + sonata for my user account.

[15:26] <GeekDude> I'm trying to cross compile a program for ARM. In the past, I've used "RANLIB=/usr/bin/ranlib && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/arm-linux-gcc --host=arm-linux", but this program requires me to use CMake. I can't for the life of me figure out hwo to do this in CMake
[15:26] <Someus> Yes Steam game
[15:26] <Someus> Half Life 2 mod
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> GeekDude  there's also #ubuntu-arm
[15:27] <Someus> Like Sounter strike: Source
[15:27] <GeekDude> MonkeyDust: Would that be applicable if the host system is x86?
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> GeekDude  not sure, i'm not familiar with arm, it was just a tip
[15:29] <startx> aircrack is only for backtrack ?
[15:30] <sdouble> my sound is only working with mpd + sonata for my user account.  VLC/mplayer/chromium/firefox play no sound unless I run them as root.  mpd is running under my user and I've confirmed that my user is part of the audio and pulse-access groups.  any ideas on what else I can check?

[15:41] <bekks> me-1: of courde you can update.
[15:41] <bekks> me-1: you just get a warning.
[15:41] <trijntje> me-1: looks like problems with your mirror server, go into software & updates and change to the main server
[15:42] <me-1> trijntje,  I was thinking the same
[15:43] <me-1> trijntje,  I am using Lubuntu how can I do that with it..?
[15:43] <compdoc> me-1, you can try this first:   sudo apt-get clean
[15:43] <trijntje> me-1: I'm not sure, maybe via the software center -> properties?
[15:44] <XATRIX> How can i change a current local mirror for ?

[15:45] <Dudytz> hi all. I have a gpg and I don't remember the correct passphrase, but I remember the words used, is there a tool to combine several words with numbers to try to recovery the passphrase?
[15:46] <linux|newb> anyone known if the old dell 10mini v supports screen rotation?

[15:55] <raub> trijntje: you better not steal my title for worst typist this side of the Galaxy ;)

[15:59] <raub> adac:  if I don't know any better I would go with /var/log/syslog. But dark screen in vnc for me usually means the vnc server is not happy. At least that is when I connect to a Mac

[16:13] <zecar> my ubuntu all of a sudden started taking screenshots with f12, even though I haven't rebooted or installed updates, and that is not a system hotkey
[16:13] <zecar> how do I fix it?
[16:14] <zecar> I need f12 for another app and I'm kind of dead in the water till this gets fixced
[16:16] <warddr> zecar: go to system settings --> keyboard --> shortcuts and take a look at the screenshot shortcuts
[16:16] <zecar> I just said it's not a configured shortcut
[16:17] <zecar> is there a way to disable screenshots? this is a highly disruptive bug in my instance because I need that hotkey
[16:17] <zecar> as much as I do use screenshots, it's more important that I can have use of my f12 key
[16:18] <rtyuiop> hi
[16:19] <rtyuiop> when you download the ubuntu 12.04 vbox image from vbox website ?
[16:19] <rtyuiop> what is the default ubuntu 12.04 password ?
[16:20] <zecar> figured out my f12 problems, I tried to assign screenshot to f12 key and it said that it was already assigned and then failed out
[16:20] <sdouble> any ideas why I can't hear any sound unless I'm using root/sudo?  user groups: adm cdrom sudo audio dip plugdev fuse lpadmin sambashare pulse-access
[16:20] <zecar> so there's clearly a bug in ubuntu where it's assigning new shortcuts that don't appear in the keyboard ui

[16:25] <cortexA9> is it possible ?
[16:25] <flick> hello

[16:26] <cortexA9> i have this error
[16:26] <XATRIX> What is the current relese of 12.04.3 LTS, wheezy, quantal ?
[16:26] <cortexA9> how can i do ?

[16:27] <cortexA9> i have 12.10 right now
[16:27] <iivvoo> yes, so 13.4 is next
[16:27] <pavel_> movies
[16:27] <cortexA9> iivvoo: what is the command ?
[16:28] <flick> hello
[16:28] <OerHeks> cortexA9, 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 , there is no direct upgrade
[16:28] <XATRIX> What is the current relese of 12.04.3 LTS, wheezy, quantal ?
[16:28] <cortexA9> OerHeks: really ? damn
[16:28] <bekks> XATRIX: precise.
[16:28] <kostkon> XATRIX, it's called precise pangolin
[16:29] <cortexA9> so it's not possible to upgrade ?
[16:29] <__monty__> Hi, I'm looking for a way to change the background of the 'lock screen'?
[16:30] <raub> cortexA9: you have to do each step as mentioned by OerHeks and iivvoo
[16:30] <cortexA9> if i change the repository ?
[16:30] <richiesx> anyone have a solution for choppy browser scrolling (chromium) on a desktop using LXDE?
[16:30] <raub> cortexA9: only when you do LTS is that you skip a few in-between releases
[16:31] <the_drow> Hi guys, I'm on ubuntu 13.10 which has libmemcached 1.0.8 as far as I understand. I'm using pylibmc 1.2.3 and django-pylibmc 0.5.0 which claims to support SASL. After importing pylibmc and printing the support_sasl constant I realized that libmemcached isn't compiled with SASL support but the libraries for SASL are present. How do I enable SASL support? Do I have to recompile libmemcached?
[16:32] <raub> XATRIX: do you mean latest rlease or latest version for each release?
[16:33] <flick> hello
[16:33] <sdouble> any ideas why I can't hear any sound unless I'm using root/sudo?  user groups: adm cdrom sudo audio dip plugdev fuse lpadmin sambashare pulse-access

[16:52] <marianne> MonkeyDust: just wanted to thank you again for the help yesterday... got it working and have a task in place for backups
[16:52] <Infinitum> anybody in here know how to avoid a device to sleep. Like initiate the S3 state, but leave one PCI-device powered on?
[16:52] <OerHeks> XATRIX, Ign means there are no changes in the pdiff index file, it wont bother downloading it again.
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> marianne  great! i'm glad i good help :)
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> could*
[16:55] <marianne> MonkeyDust: i do feel kind of like an idiot... i was making a simple mistake... but then that can happen when you're sleep deprived
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> marianne  we're here to learn
[17:04] <kevie> Hi, I'm in need of a bit of help but haven't had much experience with Ubuntu (it's on my father's laptop)

[17:05] <trijntje> kevie: ask away ;)
[17:05] <kevie> it boots into a prompt but only about a quarter of the screen is covered and the mouse is active (almost like there is a graphical environment there, but no window manager)
[17:05] <sdouble> type startx and press enter
[17:06] <sdouble> see if anything happens
[17:06] <kevie> if I try booting recovery mode and starting in failsafe graphics the laptop just freezes

[17:10] <crugo> hi
[17:10] <uttern00b> Hello :)  I accidentally deleted the network connections/mobile broadband menu from the ubuntu panel. Can anyone tell me how to get it back? It would be much appreciated as I'm now stuck with windows as the only option :/
[17:10] <crugo> whois uttern00b
[17:10] <uttern00b> I'm me
[17:10] <uttern00b> :)
[17:11] <VlanX> *it's me
[17:11] <uttern00b> use a backslash tho :)
[17:11] <VlanX> isnt it forward slash?
[17:11] <uttern00b> is it?
[17:11] <crugo> you can add network applet to the panel again @uttern00b
[17:12] <uttern00b> Don't confuse me man. I'm fubar enuff as it is :/
[17:12] <crugo> well
[17:12] <crugo> sorry about that
[17:12] <uttern00b> crugo: how? And no, I meant VlanX confused me ;)
[17:13] <crugo> which version of ubuntu you are using?
[17:13] <uttern00b> ooold stuff. 10.4 afair
[17:14] <MonkeyDust> uttern00b  what's the output of    cat /etc/issue
[17:14] <Balzy> hi! I'm currently running kubuntu 13.10 on a notebook with radeon HD + Intel gpu, following the wiki page related to ATI opensource drivers I set in the grub config file "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.dpm=1"" in order to save the battery and reduce temperatures, the problem is that I'm experiencing some glitches scrolling web pages or watching flash video.
[17:14] <akshay2000> Hey! I'm writing remote control client for Windows Phone.
[17:14] <akshay2000> I need some help with JSON-RPC Notifications.
[17:14] <akshay2000> How do I receive the notifications on client side?
[17:14] <akshay2000> Moreover, I will the XBMC server will know what clients are connected and are ready to receive the notifications?
[17:14] <uttern00b> MonkeyDust: No idea. as I can only have internet access from winblows
[17:14] <crugo> oh man! 10.4 uses unity right? if so, then do you remember how you deleted it? i used ubuntu long time ago. a bit rusty. @uttern00b
[17:15] <zykotick9> crugo: 10.04 used gnome2...  fyi, 10.04 isn't supported anymore, nor is gnome2
[17:15] <uttern00b> crugo: May I PM you? this is going a bit too fast :/
[17:16] <akshay2000> uttern00b: You just need to get off 10.04
[17:16] <VlanX> uttern00b: i think you'd be better off upgrading my friend
[17:16] <akshay2000> It's time to get upgraded to something.
[17:16] <crugo> if gnome, then right click on the gnome panel, add panel item, then you should find the network manager applet. add it. then you get your network manger @uttern00b
[17:16] <uttern00b> Can't. old pc. and I hate unity
[17:16] <VlanX> -
[17:16] <VlanX> uttern00b: how about lubuntu?
[17:16] <crugo> sure go ahead uttern00b
[17:16] <VlanX> that runs on my toaster too
[17:17] <kostkon> uttern00b, lubuntu 12.04 would be a good choice
[17:17] <akshay2000> uttern00b: Better switch to something lightweight like Lubntu of XFCE Ubuntu.
[17:17]  * VlanX wins
[17:17] <kostkon> uttern00b, what are the pc specs
[17:18] <raysaas> Can any one  help me on speech-dispatcher and it's consequences?
[17:18] <kevie> OK, just got it sorted, it was deciding to boot into the recovery console by default, changed the setting and got it sorted \o/
[17:18] <kevie> later
[17:18] <ceh> hi everyone
[17:19] <kostkon> ceh, hi
[17:19] <chemist^> hello everyone
[17:20] <mmazing> heyo, i was trying to free up some room on my main drive by deleting some old kernels, and i think i borked my install :\
[17:20] <ceh> my first time in IRC :D nice to meet you guys
[17:20] <chemist^> mmazing lol..nice :D
[17:20] <mmazing> i've been looking through syslog and whatnot and can't seem to figure out where it is dying
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> ceh  this is the support channel, for nice chats, try #ubuntu-offtopc
[17:21] <mmazing> it shows the ubuntu screen and then just goes to a blinking cursor indefinitely
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> ceh  this is the support channel, for nice chats, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:21] <nafg> mmazing: sounds like the kernel is booting, no? What did you delete exactly?
[17:21] <ceh> ah, I have a question in ubuntu too :D
[17:22] <wolfspy> hi
[17:22] <karstensrage> hi can i safely delete all the -pae files in /boot?
[17:22] <wolfspy> I just bought an old computer for $15 and installed ubuntu server on it
[17:22] <bekks> karstensrage: Remove old kernels using apt-get purge
[17:22] <ceh> my BackTrack5 metasploit doesnt work when I run upgrade all
[17:22] <wolfspy> how can I tell how good the cpu is
[17:22] <wolfspy> if it is good I will run a minecraft server on it
[17:22] <chemist^> wolfspy type in: sudo lshw
[17:22] <bekks> ceh: backtrack isnt supported in here.
[17:23] <ceh> oh
[17:23] <ceh> where is it?
[17:23] <bekks> !backtrack | ceh
[17:23] <mmazing> nafg: let's see.... a bunch of linux-generic-pae stuff, i verified that i wasn't removing the current version
[17:23] <ceh> I
[17:23] <ceh> !backtrack
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> wolfspy  start with    lscpu
[17:23] <chemist^> ceh download kali-linux
[17:23] <chemist^> and join #kali-linux
[17:23] <kostkon> wolfspy, or do  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[17:23] <ceh> oh thanks guys
[17:24] <karstensrage> hi bekks how do you  suppress automatic regeneration of initramfs?
[17:25] <bekks> karstensrage: I dont do things like that :)
[17:25] <karstensrage> well i cant purge or anything since /boot is full
[17:25] <mmazing> nafg: http://pastebin.com/GWAN865r was the exact packages i removed
[17:26] <karstensrage> it always tries update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-57-generic-pae and fails due to no disk space
[17:26] <bekks> karstensrage: Then temporarily move away one pretty large file to free up space.
[17:26] <mmazing> my current kernel is 3.5.0-44
[17:26] <wolfspy> http://pastebin.com/5Sj8J2bD is this cpu good?
[17:27] <ezra-s> karstensrage, remove manually
[17:27] <bekks> karstensrage: Say you have three kernels in there, A, B and C and you want to delete A. Move away B then, purge A, move B back, purge B. C is your current kernel, dont touch it.
[17:27] <nafg> mmazing: this router blocks pastebin apparently so I can't view that
[17:28] <zykotick9> mmazing: wolfspy please consider an alternative paste site to pastebin.com - paste.ubuntu.com for example
[17:28] <wolfspy> why?
[17:29] <mmazing> nafg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6624368/
[17:29] <sdouble> any ideas why I can't hear any sound unless I'm using root/sudo?  user groups: adm cdrom sudo audio dip plugdev fuse lpadmin sambashare pulse-access
[17:29] <chemist^> wolfspy for a 15 $ computer it's ok
[17:29] <wolfspy> is it good enough to run a minecraft server?
[17:29] <chemist^> i don't have any experience with minecraft...
[17:30] <chemist^> judging from the screenshots, this could be run on a calculator
[17:30] <chemist^> :D
[17:30] <wolfspy> oh
[17:30] <wolfspy> not really
[17:30] <mmazing> i've chrooted to my main drive ... now what to look for
[17:30] <chemist^> just joking
[17:31] <chemist^> search google for minimum requirements for your game-server
[17:34] <nafg> mmazing: this is not something i'm familiar with but if you'd chrooted can't you now just apt-get install?
[17:35] <mmazing> well, i could reinstall all of those kernels i suppose, but i'm just trying to figure out what is going wrong
[17:35] <mmazing> i don't think the kernel is the issue
[17:35] <nafg> mmazing: true, but all you did is uninstall kernels no?
[17:35] <nafg> apt-cache depends didn't list anything that would get uninstalled
[17:36] <nafg> with it
[17:36] <nafg> mmazing: although depends on my current kernel lists libc6
[17:36] <Mark_de_J> Hi. Can someone help me?
[17:37] <nafg> mmazing: doesn't the ubuntu installer have a repair option?
[17:37] <Mark_de_J> I got some internet problems, my WiFi connection is working, but on a time I lose the access to internet
[17:37] <mmazing> hmmm, maybe
[17:37] <Mark_de_J> I still got wifi, but can't visit any website, how can I resolve this
[17:37] <mmazing> Mark_de_J : do you let your computer go to sleep?
[17:37] <Mark_de_J> No.
[17:38] <Mark_de_J> It is also when I use it
[17:38] <xubuntu826> Hi, my notebook hp g62 does not work with the proprietary GPU drivers
[17:38] <xubuntu826> my GPU is mobility radeon HD 5470
[17:38] <Mark_de_J> mmazing, do you have a idea how to solve?
[17:39] <xubuntu826> I can't install the Hybrid system either
[17:39] <Kamuela> I 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.
[17:40] <Mark_de_J> Is there a way to fix the problem?
[17:41] <MonkeyDust> Mark_de_J  do you have connection with cable plugged?
[17:42] <Mark_de_J> Yes, but I got no cable here at home
[17:42] <panda_madness> Hello! 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 the
[17:42] <panda_madness> repo 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.
[17:43] <Mark_de_J> I got only wifi here, can I fix it then?
[17:43] <MonkeyDust> Mark_de_J  we have to know if it's a WAN or a LAN issue
[17:43] <Mark_de_J> WAN = No cable?
[17:44] <Mark_de_J> LAN = Cable right? That is working fine.
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> wan = internet, lan = connection between pc and router
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> Mark_de_J  then it's a wifi issue, not an internet issue
[17:44] <Mark_de_J> And how to fix?
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> !wifi | Mark_de_J start here
[17:45] <Mark_de_J> MonkeyDust, that looks hard.
[17:45] <Mark_de_J> brb
[17:46] <mmazing> i'm looking at the rescue mode installer, and it says "To access rescue mode, type rescue at the boot: prompt, or boot with the rescue/enable=true boot parameter." i'm not sure how to pull that up
[17:46] <Mark_de_j> Back
[17:47] <Mark_de_j> Is there not a normal easy way to solve it?
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> Mark_de_j  a cable is the normal and easy way
[17:48] <Mark_de_j> Got no cable.
[17:48] <Mark_de_j> Must make on school then. :(
[17:49] <gazarsgo> if i can't reboot a box via ctrl-alt-delete or shutdown -r now what can i do ?
[17:49] <gazarsgo> box being a remote VM :)
[17:49] <lickalott> gazarsgo sudo init 6
[17:49] <phelix> is 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 properly
[17:50] <lickalott> or init 0 (software shutdown) init 5 (hardware shutdown)
[17:50] <gazarsgo> what does init 6 do that shutdown -r now doesn't ?
[17:50] <lickalott> phelix have an entry in the script that outputs to a log file
[17:51] <phelix> can i just add like 1> ./file.log ?
[17:51] <lickalott> init 6 is a restart (root) command level
[17:51] <lickalott> yes phelix
[17:51] <BrianH> I 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.
[17:52] <lickalott> gazarsgo are you forcing the shutdown of the ubuntu VM or the host windows?
[17:52] <user101> hi
[17:52] <BrianH> Is there a way to fix this so that the user will need to enter the system credentials before using the workspace switcher?
[17:52] <phelix> will 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] <gazarsgo> lickalott: the ubuntu VM… i guess whatever was wedged unwedged, because it finally bounced
[17:52] <gazarsgo> the host is xen in my case
[17:52] <lickalott> not quite sure of your problem BrianH
[17:53] <gazarsgo> thanks for the pointer on init 6
[17:53] <lickalott> it will initiate in order phelix, but you're timing of the cronjob will need to be there as well.
[17:53] <lickalott> np gazarsgo
[17:53] <BrianH> lickalott: 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.
[17:54] <user101> can someone throw me a script together to auto delete all logs on shutdown
[17:54] <lickalott> so the "timeout" for screen lock isn't propigating to the VM BrianH?
[17:54] <phelix> ok so script a is before script b. Script b will not start running until script a is done correct?
[17:54] <user101> ubuntu m00b
[17:54] <lickalott> wait 1 user101, I'll HELP, but not write it for you
[17:54] <user101> thanks !
[17:55] <eddlemon> Greetings. I am running Ubuntu Studio. I am able to hear MIDI files in my headphones but no other sounds. Any advice?
[17:55] <llutz> user101: put your /var/log into tmpfs [x]done
[17:55] <lickalott> phelix if you've timed it correctly.  just out of curiosty, why not have it run within the same script with a loop or sleep function
[17:56] <phelix> lickalott Probably a better idea.
[17:56] <lickalott> user101 what are you trying to delete?
[17:56] <user101> just all the every log that is generated
[17:56] <BrianH> lickalott: 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] <lickalott> user101 i.e. /var/*log*?
[17:56] <trijntje> user101: why not mount /var/log as tempfs (ie in RAM), that way the logs will automatically disappear when you shutdown. No messy scripts needed
[17:56] <user101> so /var/log in the temp? shouyld do it?
[17:57] <lickalott> hrrmmmm BrianH, I'd have to dig on that
[17:57] <user101> whats the advantage of doing it anyway
[17:57] <llutz> user101: tmpfs is in RAM which is cleared at reboot. nothing left, logs gone
[17:57] <calvinist> !ops
[17:58] <trijntje> user101: tempfs, not temp. You can find instructions online
[17:58] <lickalott> that's the easiest user101 (what trijntje and llutz said)
[17:58] <user101> ok thanks
[17:58] <BrianH> Maybe 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] <llutz> user101: just keep in mind that this will make error-handling harder, because you never have any logs after a reboot to check
[17:59] <lickalott> can you edit the screen lock timeout for a shorter time BrianH?
[17:59] <lickalott> i'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.
[18:00] <BrianH> lickalott: Ubuntu's workspace switcher
[18:00] <lickalott> user101 agree with llutz.  why do you want to delete those logs?  They may serve a purpose one day
[18:01] <lickalott> that'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 BrianH
[18:02] <BrianH> lickalott: the VM is not Ubuntu, it's a Windows 8 VM.  The host is Ubuntu.
[18:03] <lickalott> OH....
[18:03] <w3l3h> dear friends :)
[18:04] <w3l3h> have you ever try caching DotA2 update from steam using squid proxy?
[18:04] <lickalott> BrianH - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1124282
[18:06] <BrianH> lickalott: that's the problem.  Thank you very much. :)

[20:09] <elvis-hp> globalfind in xchat, is it possible?
[20:09] <lickalott> carmineUbuntu, you need to be more specific homesile
[20:09] <lickalott> *someslice
[20:10] <lickalott> elvis-hp, splain
[20:10] <carmineUbuntu> lickalott: well I installed ubuntu and rebooted - and I got a blank screen instead of xdm (or something else) - just a blank screen on Alt+F7 console... now I am here using irssi
[20:11] <lickalott> did you install server or desktop rev?
[20:11] <elvis-hp> ok now there are bigger problems, another time, thanx

[20:11] <carmineUbuntu> lickalott: I don't know - everything done from the installation CD - I just rebooted
[20:12] <lickalott> what is the full title of the .iso that you used?
[20:12] <carmineUbuntu> lickalott: I don't remember but it's 12.04.3 LTS
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> carmineUbuntu  12.04 is good, stick to it, but is it server or desktop edition?
[20:13] <carmineUbuntu> MonkeyDust: desktop edition - but no desktop for me :)
[20:13] <lickalott> doesn'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?
[20:14] <lickalott> is this what you used = ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso
[20:14] <carmineUbuntu> lickalott: when I reboot I just have a blank screen instead of a login (like xdm - kdm)
[20:14] <carmineUbuntu> no lickalott wait I have to go on the windows pc to check the file name
[20:15] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: Do you have the usual consoles?  Ctrl-Alt-F1?
[20:15] <lickalott> this seems to be happening a lot lately.  My recco has been to throw a gparted livecd in, format the hdd ext3 and re-install.
[20:16] <lickalott> the other things tied to this issue have to do with UEFI bios and junk
[20:16] <lickalott> carmineUbuntu was there a previous kernel installed on the target harddrive
[20:17] <carmineUbuntu> lickalott: the file is ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
[20:17] <carmineUbuntu> lickalott: no I am using the whole hard disk to have ubuntu on it
[20:18] <lickalott> then 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-install
[20:18] <OerHeks> !nomodeset
[20:19] <jhutchins> lickalott: Reformatting is usually not a standard method to fix a bad xorg config.
[20:19] <carmineUbuntu> lickalott: 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 CD
[20:19] <carmineUbuntu> sorry
[20:19] <carmineUbuntu> lag
[20:19] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: I don't think you should reinstall quite yet.
[20:20] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: It sounds like you simply have a video driver problem.  Do you see anything at boot?  Can you get to a console?
[20:20] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: this is my very first time in ubuntu and... I dunno if it's using nvidia-drivers or nouveau
[20:20] <lickalott> if you can get in with a shell, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and pastebin it
[20:20] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: well I did Alt+Ctrl+F1 and I am here from irssi
[20:20] <jhutchins> lickalott: By default there is no xorg.conf
[20:20] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: but in Alt+Ctrl+F7 I have nothing
[20:20] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: Excellent.  No need to reinstall.
[20:21] <jhutchins> !nvidia
[20:21] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: yes but I cannot start X (and I really dunno how to do it) - just checked lightdm status - it's running -
[20:21] <carmineUbuntu> yeah I have a nvidia geforce 740m
[20:21] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: If you append nomodeset to the kernel parameters at boot you _might_ get a GUI with the vesa driver.
[20:21] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: Yeah, x is running but not correctly.
[20:22] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: ok using vesa or uvesa .. and what about nouveau or nvidia proprietary drivers ?
[20:22] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: at the moment I don't really know how to manage ubuntu :D i am like a virgin
[20:22] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: Get the right ones set up to match your chipset - I'm afraid I'm all Intel graphics so I don't know the details.
[20:22] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: ok but - how ?
[20:22] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: Lots of reading to do then! <grin>
[20:22] <Calinou> I'm a virgin, and I know how to manage ubuntu, carmineUbuntu
[20:23] <carmineUbuntu> Calinou: i was used to portage... emerge -avt nvidia-drivers and game over
[20:24] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: 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] <Calinou> installing drivers on your PC is complicated because of Optimus
[20:24] <Calinou> blame NVIDIA's poor, very poor support for that technology on GNU/Linux
[20:24] <jhutchins> !optimus
[20:24] <Calinou> else, it is very easy to install the NVIDIA drivers ;)
[20:24] <Calinou> even Bumblebee/Primus are much slower than the Windows implementation of Optimus
[20:25] <Calinou> (hopefully, the dedicated card will still be faster than the IGP... except on low end systems)
[20:25] <jhutchins> No?  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] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: i installed elinks
[20:26] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: Whatever works for you.  _Is_ this a laptop with Optimus video?
[20:26] <carmineUbuntu> Calinou: ok but "how" ? :)
[20:26] <Calinou> jhutchins, any laptop with 400/500/600/700M NVIDIA cards series has Optimus, and it is a big problem
[20:26] <Calinou> but I don't know if your problem is Optimus-related
[20:26] <Calinou> but I'm just saying it's a problem in general...
[20:26] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: i don't really know what you are talking about :D it's a asus x750j - i7 - nvidia geforge 740m - i now nothing else
[20:27] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: 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] <carmineUbuntu> Calinou: 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 start
[20:28] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: no no this laptop is cheap thanks god
[20:28] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: lspci -nn will show you what video chipset(s) you have and you can match it to the wikipage for Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto
[20:28] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: how to start gpm please ?

[20:40] <pwler> list
[20:40] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: I think that when ubuntu installs the proprietary drivers, it blacklists the nouveau driver. (Since I don't have Nvidia I don't know.)
[20:40] <dmitru> carmineUbuntu: Yes, followed the desktop team - apt-get update && apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (gnom) apt-get install kubuntu-desktop (KDE) apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (Xfce)
[20:40] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: ok but I have this hybrid grafic card - intel + nvidia
[20:40] <jhutchins> You can check for a modprobe.d blacklist ...
[20:40] <zykotick9> jhutchins: you are correct about blacklist
[20:40] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: So it's Optimus after all, and you have to deal with bumblebee.
[20:41] <jhutchins> carmineUbuntu: Or with disabling one of the GPUs.  I know even less about that, sorry.
[20:41] <carmineUbuntu> jhutchins: thank you really much :) I dunno how to disable GPUs :D
[20:42] <dmitru> carmineUbuntu: You use a laptop?
[20:42] <carmineUbuntu> dmitru: yes
[20:44] <jonne_> anyone know what could be wrong with this boot sequence?
[20:44] <jonne_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6625304/
[20:45] <dmitru> carmineUbuntu: Problem in memory modules, defaul ubuntu not support two memory modules into some notebook models, therefore better pull out one.
[20:45] <jonne_> doesn't get past plymouth on 3.11 kernels, the 3.8 kernel from ubuntu 13.04 works fine
[20:45] <carmineUbuntu> dmitru: how ?
[20:46] <dmitru> carmineUbuntu: For two memory modules rebuild the kernel
[20:47] <Rallias> Is there a way with iptables to send non-ipsec traffic to the dumpster?
[20:47] <Rallias> To a specific port that is
[20:48] <john_rambo> When I try to enable the apparmor profile for Firefox I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6625367/
[20:51] <KI7MT> john_rambo: you could try: do aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox
[20:52] <KI7MT> *sudo
[20:52] <dmitru>  carmineUbuntu: Contact the store of purchase, where the is possible to buy a larger volume of the memory module, they can easily make the change of memory module.
[20:52] <john_rambo> KI7MT, sudo: aa-enforce: command not found
[20:55] <redGod> hey yall after I reinstalled 13.10 my speaker, mic, and headphones dont work
[20:55] <redGod> any suggestions
[20:55] <KI7MT> john_rambo: sri had that as shortcut they these two commands: sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox
[20:56] <KI7MT> sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.bin.firefox
[20:56] <KI7MT> Then: sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload
[20:56] <BrianH_> redGod: Did you check your Sound settings?
[20:56] <redGod> yeah its not detecting it for some reason
[20:57] <KI7MT> The check the status with: sudo apparmor_status
[20:57] <BrianH_> redGod: nothing listed in outputs?
[20:58] <BrianH_> redGod: try running "sudo alsa force-reload" in terminal
[20:58] <john_rambo> KI7MT, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6625423/
[20:58] <Torrelles> Hello, fellow comrades!
[20:58] <redGod> it says built-in audio but in alsamixer it only sees the hdmi
[20:59] <Torrelles> Ubuntu freshman here, currently installing it for the first time
[20:59] <xumuk> hi there
[21:00] <BrianH_> redGod: purge and reinstall alsa-base and pulseaudio
[21:01] <redGod> whats the command to purge?
[21:01] <BrianH_> redGod: "sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio"
[21:02] <redGod> BrianH_: Thanks
[21:02] <BrianH_> redGod: then "sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio"
[21:02] <zykotick9> redGod: you have tried F6 in alsamixer right?  does "cat /proc/asound/cards" show both?
[21:02] <BrianH_> redGod: No worries.  Hope it helps.
[21:03] <KI7MT> john_rambo: Ok, it would appear you profile is already present, thus the error. I actually getting the same error on my box using: sudo apparmor_parser /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox  so it may be enabled already.
[21:03] <redGod> we'll find out soon
[21:03] <zykotick9> redGod: two other thing, typically uninstall/reinstall doesn't do anything.  and two, you can save some typing with "apt-get purge foo"
[21:04] <BluesKaj> also pulseaudio has to be l
[21:04] <BluesKaj> killed before it can be removed
[21:05] <john_rambo> KI7MT, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6625452/      ............But I dont see FF in the list
[21:06] <KI7MT> john_rambo: ok, lets delete the old and add it in first: sudo rm /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.bin.firefox
[21:06] <KI7MT> john_rambo: then: cat /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox | sudo apparmor_parser –a
[21:07] <BluesKaj> but killing pulseaudio may not help if your sound card driver isn.t loading , especially if it's an intel hda . they have a bug which fprgets to load the driver after upgrades
[21:07] <BluesKaj> forgets
[21:07] <KI7MT> john_rambo: then  sudo apparmor_status  again and see if it appears.
[21:08] <BluesKaj> redGod^
[21:08] <dirch_> holla, wo bin ich den hier gelandet ?
[21:08] <redGod> the purge done nothing still no sound
[21:08] <jhutchins> !de
[21:08] <dirch_> ok, bb
[21:08] <john_rambo> KI7MT, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6625472/
[21:09] <redGod> BluesKaj: not sure the brand of it, it is internal on my laptop
[21:09] <john_rambo> Oh S*** ...One sec
[21:11] <BluesKaj> redGod, sudo lshw -C sound , look at he 'product"
[21:11] <KI7MT> john_rambo: hmm your apparmor doesn't seemt o be complete for whatever reason, all these commands are workign as expected on my 12.04 desktop.
[21:12] <john_rambo> KI7MT, I am using 12.04 too  64 bit.....
[21:13] <john_rambo> Okay .....Thanks
[21:14] <KI7MT> JohnUK89: check to see if you have the profiles installed: dpkg -s apparmor-profiles
[21:15] <KI7MT> whoops, wrong nick ..
[21:15] <redGod> BluesKaj: it's intell
[21:16] <Rdiance> hey guys
[21:17] <BluesKaj> redGod,, run , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , then you may have to reboot
[21:18] <Rdiance> i have ubuntu 13.10 and i installed xubuntu-desktop package. however, i didin't like XFCE, so i removed xubuntu-desktop and other XFCE packages, but the XFCE login screen is still there. how do i remove it and get back ubuntu's default login screen?
[21:19] <redGod> BluesKaj: done but nothing, so I am gonna restart brb
[21:24] <KI7MT> Rdiance: use sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm  and you should be able to select Lightdm or whatever you have installed.
[21:25] <Rdiance> alright, thanks KI7MT
[21:26] <ColdKeyboard> Could someone please help me on how to install madwifi on lubuntu? I have tried via oficiall how-to guide but I can't download the .deb file because it's not there or I can't find one :\
[21:28] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs   ColdKeyboard have a read
[21:28] <kostkon> !find madwifi
[21:28] <patarr> hello 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?
[21:29] <kostkon> patarr, why not give it a try
[21:29] <kostkon> patarr, with a live usb
[21:30] <redGod> nope still no sound and also there is no icon on the toolbar anymore
[21:30] <patarr> kostkon, 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] <kostkon> patarr, why are you asking then? just wondering
[21:30] <KI7MT> shengyao: yes
[21:31] <patarr> kostkon, to have a reasonable assumption that ordering a GPU won't be in vain.
[21:31] <kostkon> patarr, oh, of course. ok then
[21:31] <KI7MT> shreezbot_: Yes should be no problem.
[21:31] <lonewulf85> I 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] <BluesKaj> redGod, did you purge pulseaudio and alsa-base, because if you did they need reinstalling
[21:32] <patarr> I 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?
[21:33] <redGod> I did purge and I did reinstall
[21:33] <patarr> Pardon 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 stability
[21:33] <gordonjcp> patarr: pretty much
[21:33] <gordonjcp> patarr: obviously "stable" means "does not change" here
[21:34] <patarr> does the kernel relate to this?
[21:34] <zykotick9> gordonjcp: ahhhh....
[21:34] <kostkon> patarr, 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/LTSEnablementStack
[21:34] <kostkon> patarr, x and kernel of 13.10 that is
[21:35] <patarr> kostkon, 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] <gordonjcp> patarr: yes
[21:35] <gordonjcp> patarr: if you installed from 12.04 dead you'd find you pull in a lot of updates at first
[21:35] <gordonjcp> with 12.04.3 there are fewer updates
[21:36] <kostkon> patarr, yeah, but only new installations from the refreshed iso get the new stack, older installations must update manually. when did you install it
[21:36] <patarr> hm, looks like I am on 12.04.3
[21:36] <geirha> patarr: you can check by running   lsb_release -a   in a terminal
[21:36] <patarr> geirha: just did! :)
[21:36] <kostkon> patarr, yeah, but what was the point version of the iso when you installed it
[21:37] <patarr> kostkon, no idea.
[21:37] <patarr> Work machine.
[21:37] <g0bl1n> how can one check if a gpu is installed ?
[21:37] <kostkon> patarr, actually, what's your kernel version?  uname -a
[21:37] <patarr> g0bl1n: lspci | grep vga i believe
[21:37] <redGod> BluesKaj: do you have anything else to attempt
[21:37] <patarr> kostkon: 3.2.0-57-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP
[21:37] <[[thufir]]> I can find documentation for dovecot, and for postfix, but I thought there was a special page for dovecot-postfix documentation?  It's an integrated stack.
[21:38] <kostkon> patarr, then it's a pretty old installation
[21:38] <g0bl1n> nothing appears...
[21:38] <g0bl1n> its a PCI-e
[21:38] <kostkon> patarr, then you'll have to just update manually to get the saucy stack.
[21:39] <kostkon> patarr, instructions as always on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[21:39] <HoldenC> g0bl1n, lspci | grep -i vga
[21:39] <ImNaN> Hi gus where I can find the off-topic channel?
[21:39] <KI7MT> [[thufir]]: there's lots of how too for that stack, here's one using MySQL: https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/postfix2.9.6-dovecot2.0.19-mysql
[21:39] <patarr> g0bl1n: sorry, VGA in caps
[21:39] <patarr> or -i to make it case insensitive like HoldenC said
[21:40] <ImNaN> Hi guys where I can find the off-topic channel?
[21:40] <g0bl1n> yes, I only get the motherboard integrated card :(
[21:40] <[[thufir]]> KI7MT: me look for easiest setup
[21:40] <bazhang> !ot | ImNaN
[21:40] <g0bl1n> no ATI Radeon :(
[21:40] <ImNaN> thank you bazhang
[21:41] <g0bl1n> yet the fans are spinning...
[21:41] <KI7MT> [[thufir]]: me too, that one has good illustrations too :-)
[21:42] <slax0r> Hi, I'm trying to install 13.10 x64, but I have a problem right at the beginning, as the install boots up, actually already during the bootup, both the mouse and keyboard turn off, and remain so, if I unplug anything from the usb or plug it in, both kb and mouse come on, for 2-3 seconds, and then turn off again
[21:43] <GTB3NW> can anyone suggest an FTP client to me which is most similar to WinSCP?
[21:43] <ImNaN>  /ignore -channels #ubuntu,#ubuntu-offtopic * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS
[21:43] <GTB3NW> I'm struggling to find one which interface isn't trash and has decent integration
[21:44] <kostkon> GTAXL, filezilla maybe?
[21:44] <GTB3NW> I liked the fact in WinSCP you can hide local view
[21:44] <kostkon> damn
[21:44] <geirha> GTB3NW: Have you tried Nautilus?
[21:44] <g0bl1n> aticonfig: No supported adapters detected   damn...
[21:44] <kostkon> GTB3NW, ^
[21:44] <GTB3NW> and it integrated with putty, as in created a new session with my .ppk private key
[21:44] <g0bl1n> any hint on a ATI Radeon HD7870 ?
[21:44] <GTB3NW> I'm using xubuntu so naut isn't built in
[21:45] <GTB3NW> I'm not looking for so dead simple it only transfers functionality
[21:45] <GTB3NW> I need saved sessions and 1 click integration with putty/openssh
[21:46] <GTB3NW> I don't mind if it's strictly SFTP either, all the servers I connect to have ssh
[21:46] <KI7MT> GTB3NW: have a llok at the package called: secpanel .. simple yet capable ssh-ftp GUI
[21:46] <KI7MT> *look
[21:46] <GTB3NW> ty
[21:47] <GTB3NW> does it have any preview anywhere?
[21:47] <slax0r> http://themediahost.de/secpanel/
[21:47] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: scp+rsync and .ssh/config
[21:47] <geirha> GTB3NW: There's sshfs; a command that mounts a directory over ssh
[21:48] <KI7MT> GTB3NW: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/oneiric/secpanel/reviews/
[21:48] <RedstoneSheep_> hi. i want to install the latest tmux version (1.8.5 or stable: 1.8.4), but it's using  1.6-1ubuntu1. how can i tell dbkg to install the latest version?
[21:48] <GTB3NW> slax0r, can that convert .ppk on the fly?
[21:48] <jhutchins> geirha: Last I looked sshfs had stopped development, are they working on it again?
[21:48] <GTB3NW> jhutchins, might have to go down that root, any guides you know would set me going?
[21:49] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: Just the man pages.
[21:49] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: There are good and bad man pages, the ones for ssh are pretty good.
[21:49] <slax0r> GTB3NW: I have no idea, never used gui for such simple operations...
[21:49] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, filezilla?
[21:49] <GTB3NW> haha I'm fairly capable of doing the commands, but when it comes to remember a list of servers, why not just use a GUI lol
[21:49] <geirha> jhutchins: Oh, didn't know that
[21:49] <GTB3NW> one click connect, easy :P
[21:50] <GTB3NW> brontosaurusrex, filezilla is trash
[21:50] <GTB3NW> for such a mature open source project, it sorely lacks features and functionality
[21:50] <GTB3NW> thanks for all the suggestions and help all
[21:50] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, you requested two windows.
[21:51] <androidbruce> mirror doesn't support specified release
[21:51] <jhutchins> geirha: I don't know what the current status is, last time I looked they were using fish in kde3.5 for sshfs in fuse.
[21:51] <androidbruce> trying to install ubuntu 12.04 server
[21:51] <GTB3NW> brontosaurusrex, nah I didn't want local view
[21:51] <GTB3NW> that's what drag and drop is for haha
[21:52] <GTB3NW> I just can't understand why no one has created a winscp clone, at least design wise
[21:52] <GTB3NW> it's so straight forward and well designed -.-
[21:53] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: Mostly because nobody really needs a GUI to copy files.
[21:53] <ImNaN> GTB3NW, yeah WINSCP is a great sftp/ftp client
[21:53] <KI7MT> GTB3NW: GUI work ok, but once a person gets well in tune with CLI, there's little need for them :-)
[21:53] <androidbruce> anyone had experience using the us.archive.mirror
[21:53] <BluesKaj> redGod, sudo service pulseaudio restart
[21:53] <androidbruce> with server installs?
[21:53] <jhutchins> !mirrors
[21:54] <KI7MT> androidbruce: most people in us on a new install start off with that mirror, until they find one closer / faster ans switch over.
[21:54] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, write down the features you are after exactly and perhaps post them to some pastebin, or keep complaining ...
[21:54] <ImNaN> KI7MT: only for script
[21:54] <ImNaN> *scripts
[21:54] <GTB3NW> brontosaurusrex, the list wasn't long, read up
[21:55] <geirha> GTB3NW: Oh well, you could always try running winscp with wine
[21:55] <GTB3NW> bookmarks, ability to hide local view, integration
[21:55] <jhutchins> KI7MT: Physical location is no indication of network latency.  Most of my local connections in KC go through Chicago or Dallas.
[21:55] <GTB3NW> hmm, might give it a shot
[21:55] <kostkon> GTB3NW, run winscp with wine? not sure whether drap n drop will work though
[21:56] <GTB3NW> I'd be happy with filezilla if it had a 1 click button to open a new ssh session with putty/openssh
[21:56] <GTB3NW> I could bare the local panel lol
[21:57] <RedstoneSheep_> I can't figure out why apt-get doesn't update to the latest tmux build. it only updates to 1.6-1ubuntu1. How can I tell it to use the latest version?
[21:57] <KI7MT> Just curious, but if Windows has all the tools you like to use, why switch to Linux .. semms more pain than gain.
[21:57] <ImNaN> RedstoneSheep_: apt-get update
[21:57] <kostkon> RedstoneSheep_, you can't, if it isn't available in the repos
[21:57] <GTB3NW> RedstoneSheep_, the repos must update as well
[21:58] <GTB3NW> if it's a new build, the repos may not have been updated yet
[21:58] <kostkon> RedstoneSheep_, try to find a ppa that offers that version
[21:58] <GTB3NW> ^
[21:58] <ImNaN> ^^
[21:58] <KI7MT> RedstoneSheep_: apt-cache policy <packagename>
[21:58] <xangua> !latest | RedstoneSheep_ GTB3NW
[21:59] <KI7MT> then as kostkon stated, either got to the source for latest, or PPA.
[21:59] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, you use putty on linux?
[21:59] <GTB3NW> xangua, I know that, why did you ping me? lol
[21:59] <OerHeks> !info tmux
[21:59] <kostkon> !info putty
[21:59] <RedstoneSheep_> ubottu: there is a fix for an utf-8 bug that is really annoying me
[21:59] <GTB3NW> brontosaurusrex, I switch between windows and linux, I don't mind using openssh or putty, it does the same thing at the end of the day
[21:59] <kostkon> brontosaurusrex, it's available for linux too
[22:00] <GTB3NW> and I don't mind converting my ppk
[22:00] <GTB3NW> I just cba typing out the host everytime
[22:00] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, why not just use some terminal and put your servers into aliases
[22:00] <GTB3NW> gotta remember the aliases
[22:00] <GTB3NW> I'd rather click a session name tbh haha
[22:01] <brontosaurusrex> the "alias" command will list them all
[22:01] <KI7MT> GTB3NW: you dont ave too .. simple one liner in your .bashrc and you can connect to one letter, setup ssh-keys abd you dont even need a passwd.
[22:01] <brontosaurusrex> KI7MT, ^
[22:01] <GTB3NW> Yeah only issue is I have multiple keys :P
[22:02] <kostkon> RedstoneSheep_, only managed to find this http://askubuntu.com/questions/273013/how-to-install-new-tmux-1-8-on-ubuntu-12-10-or-12-04
[22:02] <GTB3NW> found a superuser thread on aliasing with openssh
[22:02] <KI7MT> GTB3NW: I have like, Oh,,, 15 or 20 servers at least I conect to with this laptop .. key mamanagement is pretty somple really.
[22:02] <OerHeks> RedstoneSheep_, Tmux 1.8 would be the latest / Last Update: 2013-03-26
[22:02] <GTB3NW> gonna take a look at it, thanks for the suggestion
[22:02] <GTB3NW> can the alias contain the key as well?
[22:03] <RedstoneSheep_> OerHeks: yep. how would i tell dpkg to get that?
[22:03] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, no, you install keys on the "system level"
[22:03] <OerHeks> RedstoneSheep_, run saucy and you would have that latest version
[22:03] <GTB3NW> ohhhh I see, you can specify the keys in the config
[22:03] <GTB3NW> didn't realize you could do that
[22:04] <GTB3NW> KI7MT, how do you list all your aliases?
[22:04] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, alias could be "alias serv1='ssh user@server'"
[22:04] <GTB3NW> do you have some kind of output you could show me please?
[22:04] <KI7MT> GTB3NW: 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.
[22:06] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, alias examples (that i just happen to have on this machine) http://paste.debian.net/plain/72385
[22:06] <GTB3NW> I understand aliases, you're talking about something different to what I thought you meant
[22:06] <GTB3NW> openssh actually has a config for aliases
[22:07] <dekiss> can I search the contents of the files for some string?
[22:07] <brontosaurusrex> dekiss, grep -i string file.txt
[22:07] <KI7MT> GTB3NW: I've actually written my own scripts, using Dialog to manage them, but is all you wnat is the list, jsut grep .bashrc or have you alias's in a seperate file that .bashrc sources.
[22:08] <brontosaurusrex> GTB3NW, just "alias" will list them all
[22:08] <GTB3NW> hmm could do yeah
[22:08] <GTB3NW> brontosaurusrex, yeah but I'd have to grep that
[22:09] <GTB3NW> someone has a nice ruby script for the official ssh aliases
[22:09] <brontosaurusrex> "alias | grep -i something" should work.
[22:09] <dekiss> brontosaurusrex I mean, I need to search for one string in all files in one folder and in all subfolders of that folder
[22:11] <pieces029> If I have ssh running on a different port, is there a way to access it with something similar url rewrites to make it invisible?
[22:11] <GTB3NW> that's really quite annoying it doesn't have any built in functionality to list ssh aliases :/
[22:11] <KI7MT> GTB3NW: lots of ways to grep is, something like: cat ./.bashrc |grep alias |awk '{print $2'}
[22:11] <GTB3NW> pieces029, currently on the subject of aliases, look at those ;)
[22:11] <brontosaurusrex> dekiss, grep -i string ./*
[22:11] <Balzy> quick question: how do I grep a flag? I mean I must find in a long help generated by a binary the line which describes the -R flag
[22:12] <brontosaurusrex> assuming you want to search this folder and subfolders
[22:12] <pieces029> GTB3NW, like command line aliases?
[22:12] <KI7MT> *|awk '{print $2}'
[22:12] <GTB3NW> nah ssh alias
[22:12] <Balzy> how do I tell grep to look for "-R" ?
[22:12] <GTB3NW> ~/.ssh/config
[22:12] <pieces029> GTB3NW, Ok I'll check it out, thanks
[22:12] <dekiss> this will do ?grep -I "test" /var/x/
[22:12] <GTB3NW> you're welcome
[22:12] <brontosaurusrex> dekiss, grep -I "test" /var/x/*
[22:13] <dekiss> -I is 100% sure to check only for bynaries files or it makes mistakes?
[22:13] <brontosaurusrex> dekiss, no idea
[22:13] <dekiss> brontosaurusrex I must put * at the end?
[22:13] <geirha> Balzy: -e -R
[22:13] <dekiss> ok thanks!
[22:13] <Balzy> geirha thanks!
[22:14] <pieces029> GTB3NW, OH so it's something I would have to do on a per machine basis?  Nothing I could put on the server that says oh, your looking for domain.x and silently routes it differently?
[22:14] <GTB3NW> not sure tbh, you could tunnel it if you have another server?
[22:15] <GTB3NW> does ssh have srv record support?
[22:15] <pieces029> Actually that's what I'm doing.  I have another server behind a firewall so I use ssh reverse port binding to tunnel it out.  I was hoping to get something setup so I don't have to rember the port or anything just give it a domain name.
[22:16] <GTB3NW> if it does, you could check that
[22:16] <GTB3NW> https://gist.github.com/taylor/1372925
[22:16] <brontosaurusrex> dekiss, uhm, actually it seems you need to use -r or -R for recursive search, give me a sec ...
[22:16] <pieces029> GTB3NW, Ok, thanks I'll keep looking around see if I can find anything.
[22:16] <GTB3NW> pieces029, ^
[22:16] <GTB3NW> setup a srv record, that will work
[22:17] <KI7MT> pieces029: write a simple connect scritp for the second link, but secure the permissions to like 600 or somethign to prevent abuse in case the server is compromised.
[22:17] <GTB3NW> not sure how that works tbh, do your research :)
[22:18] <dekiss> can i configure grep to show me exactly on which lines in the files the string was found?
[22:19] <KI7MT> dekiss: grep -in nullsomefile.txt  ... -n indicates line numbers.
[22:20] <orogor> hi
[22:21] <pieces029> GTB3NW, Is that link meant to be run on the server or the client?
[22:21] <GTB3NW> pieces029, no idea
[22:21] <hitsujiTMO> pieces029: you can use http://freedns.afraid.org/ to bind a dynamic ip to a domain name
[22:21] <GTB3NW> looks like openssh doesn't support srv records by default
[22:21] <dekiss> grep -I 'id="something' aaa/* is this ok for searching for " ?
[22:21] <dekiss> how can I escape " ?
[22:22] <hitsujiTMO> dekiss: \"
[22:22] <dekiss> thanks
[22:22] <prsteele> Anyone have experience getting Upstart to run custom sessions?
[22:23] <KI7MT> dekiss: echo "\"test\":\"some-other-test\"" |grep -e "more-test\""
[22:23] <PDilyard> ubuntu 12.04 keeps freezing. the mouse doesnt move, the clock doesnt change, and ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt do anything. i've tried proprietary and open-source graphics drivers, and the same thing was happening in 13.10
[22:24] <KI7MT> prsteele: custom sessions?
[22:24] <PDilyard> it usually happens when i have programs open in multiple workspaces, especially playing music in one workspace while working in another
[22:24] <PDilyard> but i havent noticed any specific parameters as to when it happens (it seems random)
[22:24] <hitsujiTMO> dekiss: you can also use '' for strings with no magic. echo '"test":"some-other-test"' |grep -e 'more-test"'
[22:25] <prsteele> KI7MT: yes, as in a login session... So instead of launching unity or gnome, launching, say, XMonad
[22:25] <jason__> ?
[22:25] <prsteele> launching isn't the problem -- its launching it while the line 'xmonad' is in /etc/upstart-sessions
[22:25] <orogor> anyone has an idea on the memory usage there ? http://pastebin.com/QqmwWcLN
[22:26] <hitsujiTMO> prsteele: upstart has nothing to do with that. thats handled by the display manager (lightdm by default)
[22:26] <dekiss> ok
[22:27] <KI7MT> prsteele: Im not sure that's an upstart thing more so a display manager config item.
[22:27] <adas> hi! I'm trying to install ubuntu server using a usb-stick. I get this message on the computer "there was a problem reading data from the cd-rom. please make sure it is in the driveQ
[22:27] <dekiss> grep -I "bbb" aaa/*
[22:27] <dekiss> for some reason this is not searching subflders, how to search subfolders too?
[22:27] <dekiss> all folders in the folder aaa
[22:28] <orogor> on 8gb there s only 256M free with maybe 2gb of resident memory for apps and 1gb of cache
[22:28] <dekiss> ah
[22:28] <dekiss> -r
  have u booted from the usb or cdrom
[22:28] <dekiss> :)
[22:28] <dekiss> thanks all
[22:28] <FloodBot1> dekiss: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:28] <hitsujiTMO> adas: what did you use to create the usb and have you verified the iso you downloaded?
[22:28] <adas> "http://paste.ubuntu.com/6625861/
[22:28] <adas> unetbootin
[22:29] <trism> hitsujiTMO: KI7MT lightdm spawns upstart for many of the user sessions now
[22:29] <adas> hitsujiTMO: how to verify, i got same problem with ubuntu server 12.04 and 13.10
[22:30] <prsteele> so perhaps I need to ask a different question. I would like to be able to start upstart session jobs, but it seems that I need to be running an upstart session to do so
[22:30] <adas> i tried with unetbootin and dd
[22:30] <hitsujiTMO> adas if its more than one iso then its prob not the iso. how old is the system?
[22:31] <hitsujiTMO> trism: realy? in what capacity and why? Still what he's asking for has nothing to do with upstart and is handled by the DM config
[22:31] <rigatoni> Anyone familiar with VNC? When using a browser, the scrolling is painfully slow. Lots of lag. If I decrease color depth to 8 bits from 16, it is more normal. Is this how VNC is or is there a way to fix this?
[22:31] <adas> hitsujiTMO: 2012?
[22:32] <hitsujiTMO> adas: can you try toggling the "legacy usb support" in your bios menu
[22:32] <ImNaN> Is 13.04 LTS ?
[22:32] <prsteele> So, anyone have experience getting 'start foo' to run, when foo is defined by ~/.config/upstart/foo.conf ?
[22:32] <orogor> rigatoni, check bandwith usage maybe down or upload is maxed
[22:32] <adas> hitsujiTMO:  i get to the installation, i chose language, keyboard input, but when the installation starts i get this error
[22:33] <adas> hitsujiTMO: the computer finds the usb
[22:33] <KI7MT> ImNaN: no .. 12.04 and soon to be 14.04 are LTS
[22:33] <hitsujiTMO> adas: may ber an issue with that usb device. have you tried another?
[22:33] <rigatoni> orogor, how would l do that? Like run a speedtest.net test?
[22:33] <adas> hitsujiTMO: tried 4 different
[22:33] <PDilyard> ubuntu 12.04 keeps freezing. the mouse doesnt move, the clock doesnt change, and ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt do anything. i've tried proprietary and open-source graphics drivers, and the same thing was happening in 13.10
[22:33] <PDilyard> it usually happens when i have programs open in multiple workspaces, especially playing music in one workspace while working in another

[22:34] <PDilyard> oops double post
[22:34] <KI7MT> ImNaN: more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[22:34] <hitsujiTMO> adas: thats a bit of an odd problem then.
[22:35] <Beldar> PDilyard, Have you checked if the memory is being swapped?
[22:35] <adas> hitsujiTMO: i found this, will look through, http://cirrus.ucsd.edu/~pierce/fix_ubuntu_usb/
[22:36] <hitsujiTMO> adas: if you run out of ideas and you have a rooted android phone then i'd try using DriveDroid
[22:36] <PDilyard> Beldar, no...how do i do that?
[22:36] <tadas_> irc.myp2p-network.eu
[22:36] <adas> hitsujiTMO: aigh, thanks
[22:37] <tadas_> irc.p2p-network.eu
[22:37] <tadas_> shit
[22:37] <tadas_> sorry
[22:37] <Beldar> PDilyard, I have a conky that shows the swap when I actually have a swap, hold on let me google that for you.
[22:38] <rigatoni> orogor, 32MB down, 24MB up
[22:38] <PDilyard> Beldar: i'd google it myself, im just not really sure about what terminology i would be searching for
[22:38] <jhutchins> adas: Which image are you using?
[22:38] <adas> jhutchins: ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso
[22:39] <hitsujiTMO> prsteele: what's the output of: echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
[22:39] <prsteele> hitujiTO: not set
[22:39] <Beldar> PDilyard, In general you will swap when you reach about 60% of use of the memory, this can be changed to be a higher point however. I'm not sure how to check if and when it's swapping I have just had it as part of a conky.
[22:40] <trism> prsteele: what are you trying to do exactly? create a new desktop session? I haven't tried one from scratch yet, but I was thinkin' of trying an awesome one
[22:40] <jhutchins> adas: Do you have a working linux system?
[22:40] <adas> yes
[22:40] <prsteele> trism: I just switched to XMonad, and it works. Now I want to be able to do, e.g., 'start trayer; start nm-applet' to get daemons running
[22:41] <PDilyard> Beldar: so what you think is happening is that it's swapping the memory for unity and all the programs over to the hard drive, and therefore freezing?
[22:41] <prsteele> trism: however, it seems the only way I can define 'session jobs' is to have upstart manage the sessions
[22:41] <Beldar> PDilyard, When you start to swap things slow down greatly is all.
[22:41] <glitsj16> prsteele: what version of ubuntu are you trying to get the upstart user sessions going? i believe saucy has it by default but for raring i had to uncomment the only line i had in /etc/upstart-xsessions and re-login
[22:41] <adas> jhutchins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6625928/ i found this, but the solutions in there doesnt work for me
[22:41] <ColdKeyboard> I have started ath5k module with nohwcrypt and no_hw_rfkill_switch, and now my wifi card is "working" except that iwlist scanning returns "wlan0 No scan results". How can I fix this?
[22:42] <ColdKeyboard> btw there are wifi networks around
[22:42] <jhutchins> PDilyard: How much ram do you have?
[22:42] <trism> prsteele: oh, the way the default one does this is to have gnome-session.conf emit desktop-start on post-start and then scripts can start on desktop-start
[22:42] <PDilyard> jhutchins: 8 gb
[22:42] <prsteele> ubuntu 13.04
[22:42] <jhutchins> adas: You can check the md5sum of the USB drive - should match the iso, which should match the posted sum on the repo.
[22:43] <PDilyard> Beldar: well this isnt just slowing down, its stopping entirely. nothing works
[22:43] <trism> prsteele: likewise it emits desktop-end on pre-stop and jobs can stop on that
[22:43] <SplasH> Hi, I tried to modify my sources with synaptic, but it crashed. After that I can't use apt anymore. apt-get update finishes without any message and in the log I find: apt-get[4133]: segfault at .... error 4 in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0  I restored the sources.lst, reinstalled libapt-pkg, but apt still does not work. What can I do?
[22:43] <Beldar> PDilyard, Try setting the swappiness to abut 10 this link tells you how. http://askubuntu.com/questions/103915/how-do-i-configure-swappiness
[22:43] <PDilyard> Beldar: i cant even recover to a terminal
[22:43] <prsteele> trism: that's what I was thinking. However, if I add xmonad to /etc/upstart-sessions, it hangs
[22:43] <adas> jhutchins: ok, ill do it tomorrow, have to sleep, thanks for help, goodnight
[22:43] <OerHeks> ColdKeyboard, disable N most of the times works
[22:43] <mh58541> does anyone know how to install Kwin in ubuntu 13.10\
[22:43] <glitsj16> prsteele: http://ifdeflinux.blogspot.be/2013/04/upstart-user-sessions-in-ubuntu-raring.html is where i found that for raring
[22:43] <trism> prsteele: oh I thought you said the session worked
[22:43] <Beldar> PDilyard, how much memory do you have?
[22:43] <PDilyard> Beldar: 8 gb
[22:44] <prsteele> trism: the session works when I don't have xmonad in /etc/upstart-sessions
[22:44] <trism> prsteele: I meant, I thought you had it working with upstart
[22:44] <prsteele> trism: nope, that's what I'm trying to get done
[22:44] <Beldar> PDilyard, May not be swappiness then, really depends on how much your using the memory, you can install htop and runhtop in the terminal and see how much is being used.
[22:44] <trism> prsteele: okay, again I haven't tried it yet, I am going to try a simple one now, if you're still around in a bit I'll get back to you
[22:45] <prsteele> trism: fantastic, thanks
[22:45] <hans__> whitch irc program is the easest
[22:45] <hans__> or the best in use
[22:45] <jhutchins> PDilyard: You should not be swapping then.
[22:45] <prsteele> hans__: I use ERC in Emacs, if you know emacs
[22:45] <jhutchins> PDilyard: top and free can show you how much RAM is used for what.
[22:45] <PDilyard> jhutchins: so can i disable it altogether?
[22:45] <Beldar> PDilyard, That link does give you the free -m command to check the swappiness.
[22:46] <PDilyard> yep, im looking there now
[22:46] <jhutchins> PDilyard: If you run top and see the swap numbers changing you know you're swapping.
[22:46] <jhutchins> PDilyard: It's good to have a couple of G available, but you shouldn't be using it.
[22:46] <PDilyard> swap says used is 0
[22:46] <jhutchins> PDilyard: The object is to keep things from crashing if you get low on RAM, but with 8G that should be hard to do.
[22:46] <jhutchins> PDilyard: As expected.
[22:47] <PDilyard> well im only running a couple text editors, music player, xchat, thunderbird, and chrome
[22:47] <PDilyard> nothing to taxing
[22:47] <PDilyard> too*
[22:47] <jhutchins> PDilyard: The next thing to suspect when it's a lockup-after-time is a thermal problem.  Do you have a temperature conky?
[22:47] <PDilyard> no
[22:48] <jhutchins> PDilyard: Might look into that, or just tear the thing down and clean it well.
[22:48] <PDilyard> jhutchins: so you dont think it was swap causing the problem?
[22:48] <jhutchins> Very unlikely.
[22:49] <Beldar> PDilyard, Yeah starting with using a conky to check this stuff might be helpful, the memroy use swap and temperatures. Did you load the lm-sensors?
[22:50] <PDilyard> the only problem is that once it freezes i cant really do any of these things
[22:50] <ColdKeyboard> OerHeks: I'm sorry, what do you mean by that?
[22:50] <Beldar> PDilyard, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[22:51] <Diamondcite> PDilyard: Can you test your system thermal stability with Memtest86+ ?
[22:52] <Diamondcite> If it's going to overheat, a memory test for a few hours would do it...
[22:52] <rigatoni> Is it normal for a VNC connection to lag quite a bit with higher color depth? I'm noticing browser scrolling is slow with 16 bit but smooth on 8 bit. Anyway to improve this?
[22:52] <Diamondcite> rigatoni: How fast is the network connection?
[22:53] <KI7MT> rigatoni: bigger pipes, shorter distances is about all I'd think.
[22:53] <rigatoni> Diamondcite on the client desktop its 32mb down and 26mb up. On my local connection it's about 20mb down and 4mb up
[22:53] <PDilyard> so are you guys saying to just install temperature monitoring software, and watch it for a few hours of use?
[22:53] <rigatoni> KI7MT, so prob just a network speed thing then?
[22:54] <Beldar> PDilyard, I think it is a knock out the possibilities at this point.
[22:54] <PDilyard> Diamondcite, Beldar, jhutchins: right now im at 14.2 deg celcius
[22:54] <rigatoni> KI7MT data transfer
[22:54] <KI7MT> rigatoni: more thatn likely, if your quality imporves as you lower resolution.
[22:55] <rigatoni> KI7MT, got it. I was hoping there was something in the settings, but that makes the most sense. Thanks for the info!
[22:55] <Diamondcite> rigatoni: VNC eats a ton of CPU and upload speed when doing higher bit depth.. (Resultion matters too), consider doing a test over a fast lan connection?
[22:55] <KI7MT> rigatoni: data transfer via the desktop not the best choice really. ssh, rsynz, zsync, ftp etc are much better ways to go.
[22:55] <Beldar> PDilyard, I'm at 29 C but I have a laptop on a game cooling pad and have very little running, I have to wonder if that is an accurate number.
[22:56] <KI7MT> *rsync
[22:56] <PDilyard> Beldar: this was my output from running "sensors"
[22:56] <PDilyard> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6625997/
[22:56] <Diamondcite> My tower's CPU is running at 35C right now, averages at 72C under normal circumstances (Distributed computing)
[22:56] <rigatoni> KI7MT, oh this is actually to control the remote desktop, not to transfer files.
[22:57] <rigatoni> Diamondcite, thanks for the tip. I'll try a lower resolution and see if that helps
[22:57] <Beldar> PDilyard, Should be more sensors showing, if a fairly newer computer did you load the lm-sensors and answer yes to all when run?
[22:58] <PDilyard> Beldar: yep
[22:58] <PDilyard> its only a 2 year old machine
[23:00] <Beldar> PDilyard, I think basically what we have done is just consider some of the possibilities, in the end maybe others here will have other ideas, I would loo on the web with that exact model and hardware for others with this same problems on the releases you have tried.
[23:00] <Beldar> look*
[23:00] <g0bl1n> lspci won't show my Radeon HD7870... Any additional test one can do ?
[23:00] <PDilyard> Beldar: i installed PSensor from the software center and its showing 16C from "temp1"
[23:01] <PDilyard> sometimes goes up to 20
[23:01] <Diamondcite> PDilyard: Err I can't see to find it.. what was your problem that you are experiencing again?
[23:02] <Diamondcite> 16C is unusually cold...
[23:02] <Beldar> PDilyard, sure, you understand that we have to somewhat guess here right? the senors may be accurate or they may be off, you may be swapping you may not be.
[23:02] <PDilyard> Diamondcite: every so often, everything freezes. the mouse doesnt move, the clock doesnt change, and ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt do anything
[23:02] <Diamondcite> (For the longest time I've been using gkrell as a very light weight(cpu wise) system monitor.
[23:02] <PDilyard> Beldar: yeah i totally understand. i really appreciate your help!
[23:02] <Diamondcite> PDilyard: Stays frozen?
[23:02] <PDilyard> Diamondcite: yep
[23:03] <Beldar> PDilyard, Cool, hope you get it resolved.
[23:03] <Diamondcite> PDilyard: Could you ping or SSH in?
[23:03] <PDilyard> have not tried that yet, sorry
[23:03] <Diamondcite> Okay. which graphics do you have? AMD(ATI)? Intel? NVidia?
[23:04] <PDilyard> amd
[23:04] <Diamondcite> Someone else might answer Adurino..
[23:04] <Diamondcite> I don't know if it applies to your case anymore..
[23:04] <Diamondcite> Years ago, my graphic driver would crash in mid use, causing me to freeze.
[23:05] <PDilyard> Diamondcite: although im getting nvidia 650 for christmas
[23:05] <PDilyard> lol
[23:05] <PDilyard> maybe i should just let it go until then, and see what happens when i have the new graphics card?
[23:05] <Diamondcite> I had XID freezes on a NV GF4Ti and a GF6200.
[23:06] <Diamondcite> You have two options for graphics.
[23:06] <PDilyard> that would be an easy possibility to cross off the list if the problem continued after new gfx card
[23:06] <Diamondcite> If the radeon driver doesn't work, try the Catalyst ones.. or vice versa
[23:07] <Diamondcite> This tower I am on isn't ubuntu.. but it gives an example.. cause flash player is buggy.. running flash player in 32bit chroot , cause my X to crash and I need to login again.
[23:08] <PDilyard> http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers-fglrx
[23:08] <PDilyard> should i try this?
[23:08] <Diamondcite> PDilyard: That is up to you, anything goes ^_^
[23:09] <PDilyard> Diamondcite: haha ok
[23:09] <necrogami> with iptables can i route traffic on my local machine that would goto x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y instead?
[23:10] <PDilyard> Diamondcite: forgot to mention, this has happened with both open source and proprietary drivers
[23:11] <trism> prsteele: here is a basic working one for awesome, probably just a quick substitution to get it working for xmonad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6626080/
[23:12] <KI7MT> necrogami: yes, but you need to study up on the rules needed, not a 2 minute discussion for sure.
[23:12] <prsteele> trism: wow, thanks!
[23:12] <prsteele> trism: any inuition on the last line, or did you just copy from gnome-session.conf?
[23:13] <PDilyard> wait...how do i actually make the proprietary driver "in use"
[23:13] <PDilyard> http://imgur.com/uwRg0wI
[23:13] <necrogami> KI7MT, 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] <PDilyard> Diamondcite: ^^
[23:13] <trism> prsteele: it calls the dbus method on upstart EndSession when the awesome binary exits
[23:14] <trism> prsteele: to clean up the user init I imagine, and yes copied from the gnome-session one
[23:14] <prsteele> trism: great, hopefully this works
[23:14] <prsteele> trism: Its good to know if works for awesome though -- if it doesn't work for xmonad, its probably xmonad...
[23:14] <KI7MT> necrogami: there are lots of how-too's for iptable routing .. simple google search produced 100's :-)
[23:14] <necrogami> :)
[23:15] <PDilyard> Diamondcite: and also, im up to 35C while running the "searching for drivers" process
[23:15] <trism> prsteele: 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 fan
[23:16] <prsteele> trism: will do! this will probably require exiting IRC for now though
[23:17] <prsteele> trism: just to double check: you added awesome to the /etc/upstart-sessions file?
[23:17] <g0bl1n> PDilyard, which Radeon is it ?
[23:17] <trism> prsteele: yep, and the awesome.conf to ~/.config/upstart/
[23:17] <g0bl1n> PDilyard, how is it connected to the motherboard ? 6pin connector ? dual ?
[23:18] <PDilyard> g0bl1n: Radeon HD 6530D...it came with the computer
[23:18] <KI7MT> PDilyard: 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.
[23:19] <PDilyard> KI7MT: you're talking about temperature?
[23:19] <sudormrf> hello 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] <PDilyard> my cpu usage is at 40% now that i have 2 instances of sublime text open, xchat, and a few chromium tabs
[23:20] <KI7MT> PDilyard: temps, speeds. clock rates, the full range really.
[23:20] <PDilyard> KI7MT: gotcha
[23:20] <sudormrf> Maybe Nagios?
[23:20] <PDilyard> KI7MT: is that cpu usage normal do you think?
[23:21] <gordonjcp> sudormrf: got a pad of post-it notes?
[23:21] <Viking667> hey, 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] <KI7MT> lm-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] <Kamuela> Done is better than perfect.
[23:22] <sudormrf> gordonjcp, sarcasm?
[23:22] <PDilyard> and chromium is using the most processing power according to htop
[23:22] <gordonjcp> sudormrf: you could try writing "Someone is trying to log in as root" on one and sticking it to your monitor
[23:22] <gordonjcp> sudormrf: it will be entirely accurate, all day
[23:22] <sudormrf> gordonjcp, thanks for nothing.
[23:22] <sudormrf> If someone has something constructive to suggest, please do. :).
[23:22] <gordonjcp> sudormrf: the broader point I'm trying to make is that it's kind of pointless monitoring that
[23:23] <PDilyard> KI7MT, g0bl1n, Diamondcite: here's htop's output http://i.imgur.com/C2bXDhb.png
[23:23] <gordonjcp> sudormrf: just assume it's going on, and take steps to harden up your server against it
[23:23] <sudormrf> gordonjcp, pointless as it may be, would Snort be the answer or should I be looking at something else?
[23:23] <sudormrf> gordonjcp, that is the assumption I already take.
[23:23] <KI7MT> Viking667: pm-utils and gnome-power-manager are the tools to look into.
[23:24] <gordonjcp> snort is pretty good
[23:24] <PDilyard> yeah once i exited chromium my cpu usage went WAY down
[23:24] <Viking667> KI7MT: thanks.
[23:25] <sudormrf> gordonjcp, 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] <gordonjcp> sudormrf: no idea, I've never really used it
[23:25] <gordonjcp> I looked into it but it's just not something I found useful
[23:26] <PDilyard> interesting, firefox is using far less cpu power than chromium, with the same tabs open
[23:27] <KI7MT> PDilyard: couple other apps, SAR and SYSTAT can give you a couple more tools to drill down on CPU usage.
[23:28] <PDilyard> hmm alright thanks guys
[23:28] <prsteele> alright, here it goes...
[23:28] <Viking667> hm. Weird. Okay.
[23:29] <Viking667> I'm off...
[23:30] <prsteele> trism: and everyone else: your conf file worked. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong before, but thanks!
[23:30] <trism> prsteele: excellent
[23:32] <wenbria> I used to have this command that would allow me to connect my electric guitar and hear in the speaker what I play. works ok but I lost the command and I don't remember it, what can I do?
[23:34] <orogor> wenbria, it did anything more than unmute the mic
[23:34] <orogor> ?
[23:35] <wenbria> yes
[23:35] <glitsj16> wenbria: the command might still be in your ~/.bash_history with any luck
[23:35] <wenbria> orogor: yes
[23:39] <wenbria> could it be this?
[23:39] <wenbria> pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1
[23:39] <kostkon> wenbria, yes
[23:41] <orogor> i did swapoff -a , made the summ of rss from ps -e, got 2Gb of ram used by apps, free -m shows 1GB for cache+buffer and 6.6gb of memory used
[23:41] <orogor> anyone would knows why the number don t seems to add up ?
[23:45] <Beldar> orogor, http://askubuntu.com/questions/223759/how-to-read-correctly-free-m-output
[23:45] <g0bl1n> how can one see the logs from the PC booting up ? Can't see my HD7870 listed in lspci
[23:46] <nicofs> Is "ssh user@domain.tld:1337" the correct syntax if "domain.tld" points to my router's IP and there, 1337 is a port forwarding to the specific device in my network? what kind of forwarding do i need? does anyone know?
[23:46] <Guest37405> I 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?
[23:47] <nicofs> to be more precise, :1337 forwards to device:22
[23:51] <timposey> Hello all, I have a new install 13.10 system, giving video problems so I pulled the pci video card an using the one on the main board.  I get video fine but keyboard does not work or have power, the mouse lights up but it is like the drivers for these are not installing
[23:51] <timposey> Before I had the problem with video and pulled the card everything was working fine.
[23:56] <teryio> hii
[23:56] <kostkon> teryio, hi
