| GTB3NW | they do on windows apparently | 00:02 |

| mmazing_ | heyo, i seem to have borked my system in some way, and can't figure out what's going wrong exactly | 00:19 |
| mmazing_ | i removed a bunch of old kernel packages that were taking up a ton of space | 00:19 |
| harushimo | I'm trying to setup an kvm on ubuntu | 00:19 |
| harushimo | I installed qemu and virt-manager | 00:20 |
| mmazing_ | computer was working for quite a while after that, but when i finally rebooted it won't finish booting (although it does load the kernel) | 00:20 |
| harushimo | I used virt-manager but I get an error | 00:20 |
| bekks | mmazing_: Maybe you removed the current kernel? | 00:20 |
| mmazing_ | bekks: it does load the current kernel, i can see syslogs and whatnot | 00:20 |
| Roy_Easel | 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? | 00:20 |
| mmazing_ | i can chroot to that drive as wel | 00:20 |
| mmazing_ | well* | 00:20 |
| mmazing_ | Roy_Easel, there's a program i installed that fixed that for me, one sec ill see if i can figure out what it is | 00:21 |
| banderaz | need help with ubuntu 10.4 live cd anyone? | 00:23 |
| mmazing_ | hmmm, i think i figured out my kernel issue | 00:24 |
| bekks | !ask | banderaz | 00:24 |
| ubottu | banderaz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 00:24 |
| Beldar | banderaz, The desktop is end of life, what is you goal here? | 00:24 |
| bekks | mmazing_: Whats was/is it? | 00:24 |
| mmazing_ | last line in boot.log is "Starting VirtualBox kernel modules" | 00:24 |
| Oli | banderaz: Throw it out the window. It's ancient and unsupported and dangerously behind on security updates. | 00:24 |
| mmazing_ | i bet virtualbox needed an older kernel | 00:24 |
| mmazing_ | i'll try and remove virtualbox and see if that helps | 00:24 |
| bekks | mmazing_: then chroot and update the vbox modules. | 00:24 |
| mmazing_ | i don't use it anyway, i've been using kvm and qemu, so just gonna remove it i think | 00:25 |
| mmazing_ | Roy_Easel: search for PulseAudio Volume Control and install that | 00:25 |
| mmazing_ | Roy_Easel: you can select processes that are running that are outputting sound, and change what they are outputting to | 00:26 |
| mmazing_ | so when you play a video, vlc (or whatever you use) will be on the list and you can change it to hdmi | 00:26 |
| mmazing_ | weird ... chroot isn't working with apt | 00:27 |
| mmazing_ | Can't open /dev/null: Permission denied | 00:28 |

| goncalo_ | anyone experiencing untrusted packages during the upgrade or install when using ubuntu's gb mirror? could the server have been hacked? | 00:38 |

| Birdman3131 | Beldar: No. its still one bios. | 00:46 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset | Sazpaimon__ | 00:46 |
| ubottu | Sazpaimon__: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 00:46 |
| Sazpaimon__ | it's a retina display, for the record | 00:46 |
| Birdman3131 | on not one | 00:46 |
| KI7MT | bitbyte: well .. most srv admins would probably say tha'ts a tad off the mark, the options provide specific functionality that you either need or want, and each should be reviewed for it's own merits. | 00:46 |
| Sazpaimon__ | oh right, i havent tired nomodeset yet | 00:46 |
| Beldar | Birdman3131, So you have a ubuntu install in a ext type partition, not a wubi file in a partition, easybcd will boot a install in a ext partition. | 00:47 |
| bitbyte | KI7MT agreed, Need to really go through the man page. Will be working a lot more in the morning on it when I'm not working remotely | 00:47 |
| gordonjcp | Birdman3131: got an SD card and external reader? | 00:47 |
| KI7MT | bitbyte: If you dont want it, or dont think you need a particular funtion, disable it, but at least read up on the potential security impacts of doing so before hand. | 00:47 |
| kostkon | morten77, probably it's time to upgrade to 12.04 | 00:47 |
| bitbyte | KI7MT thanks for the advice :) | 00:48 |
| morten77 | I don't like the way ubuntu have changed really | 00:48 |
| KI7MT | bitbyte: following the best practices from a security stadpoint is probably a pretty good guuide, as you can avoid soem common pitfalls. | 00:48 |
| kostkon | morten77, you can upgrade to 12.04 and then install the gnome-fallback session | 00:49 |
| morten77 | maybe I try debian directly later intead with lxde or mate | 00:49 |
| Birdman3131 | Beldar: Ill try that. I do have easy bcd installed. (My set up is windows 7 and a ubuntu partition. I could not get to the partition so I was going to try wubi but it errored out.) | 00:49 |
| morten77 | something I really would love is if ubuntu had a 10 years LTS version though. | 00:49 |
| bitbyte | KI7MT yeh i'll be giving it a good look over tomorrow, I did have it working fine but I had an issue and had to reinstall and ran into the bug where 13.10 ubuntu won't recognize USB input to reinstall so had to install 12.04 LTS then do do-release-upgrade -d and accidentally jumped to 14.04 :/ so dealing with setting everything back up. | 00:50 |
| Beldar | Birdman3131, windows wont read an extension type partition without drivers and not really a normal way to do it, try easybcd. | 00:50 |
| Birdman3131 | morten77: Then it would have all the issues that XP has. People hanging on to it too many years later | 00:50 |
| bitbyte | the physical server doesn't have PS2 support so couldn't seem to get 13.10 installing :'( | 00:50 |
| morten77 | I really don't want to upgrade os every 3 years. and I certainly won't get a win8 for my windows needs just because ms eol's winXP in 2014 | 00:51 |
| kostkon | morten77, all lts versions after 10.04 are for 5 years | 00:51 |
| morten77 | ah, ok that nice | 00:51 |

| neyder_ | hi tehre | 01:13 |
| kostkon | neyder_, hi | 01:14 |
| Beldar | birdman313131, You can also put grub in the mbr, from the desktop, if you want a grub boot if this is a msdos partition table and install, I'm not sure it is from your description though. | 01:14 |
| neyder_ | ok, i have to go out, have a nice night | 01:14 |
| Bray90820 | Is it possible to run a bash script upon connecting a Bluetooth device | 01:16 |
| === Administrator is now known as Guest43166 | ||
| KI7MT | Bray90820: just for info what are you trying to accomplish with the script? | 01:19 |
| Bray90820 | well a while ago i was trying to get a bash script to run on start up for my mouse but i realized that it wasn't working because my mouse wasn't connected | 01:20 |
| Bray90820 | so i want it to wait until i connect my mouse to run | 01:21 |
| Bray90820 | I am just trying to slow down the acceleration of my mouse further then what the system setting have | 01:21 |
| morten77 | ah... I found out what with top that the volume control is called "indicator-sound" lets see if I can make it stop jump now :-) | 01:23 |
| KI7MT | Bray90820: you could look into using a combination of Bluz and Dbus for detection then run a subprocess .. but would take some indepth knowledge of scripting and protocols for both. | 01:23 |
| Bray90820 | KI7MT: which I don't really have | 01:23 |
| KI7MT | Bray90820: but the answer to your original question, is yes, it can be done, it's just not a point and click solution. | 01:24 |
| Bray90820 | Now if i could get my bluetooth mouse to be detected on startup then the script should work | 01:25 |
| Bray90820 | i end up needed to click before it is detected | 01:25 |

| KI7MT | SonikkuAmerica: possibly .. but it's said to be "included soon" whenever that is. | 02:22 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: did you update /etc/apt/apt.conf in your VM client? | 02:22 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, I searched for /etc/apt/apt.conf | 02:24 |
| john_rambo | but ther no such file | 02:24 |
| john_rambo | there | 02:24 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: it's not there by default, you need to create it | 02:24 |

| zykotick9 | john_rambo: 2 ways to skin a cat - i've never used the method suggested there - but i don't think you should use both! use that method if you're more comfortable with it! | 02:29 |
| shreezbot_ | Is there a faster way than the mv command to move a bunch of data from one disk to another???? | 02:29 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, That didnt work so I am deleting that file ....... | 02:29 |
| KI7MT | john_rambo: shreezbot_ create a tar.gz or archive and move one file, then extract it. | 02:30 |
| KI7MT | john_rambo was on previous by mistake, sri. | 02:31 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: should have asked you before, are you sure it isn't working? on the apt-cacher-ng server, where files showing up in /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/? the first time things are downloaded, they do need to come to from the internet... ps. i set my local apt-cacher-ng server to point to the cache as well... they aren't pulled from the ususal /var/cache/apt/archives directory | 02:34 |

| john_rambo | zykotick9, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6626855/ ..........My host is upto date .. | 02:37 |
| john_rambo | I mean it was upto date before installing apt-cacher-ng | 02:37 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: cd into uburep are there files? | 02:37 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, dists pool | 02:38 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: i was trying to explain above, just because the server is up-to-date doesn't mean clients will get those files! the server would need to be using the cache as well! | 02:38 |
| john_rambo | Okay .... configuring host ... | 02:39 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: i'd guess, it WAS working before, and my suggestion/change wasn't necessary | 02:39 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: it should work either way though, but your original method - does have an advantage... of not creating apt.conf | 02:40 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: it is possible to import your current /var/cache/apt/archive files - but i've never tried... | 02:42 |

| jester | is ssid just the name of the connection? | 02:44 |
| jester | the human readable name or something else? | 02:45 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, So just to be sure .........Its not necessary for the host to use apt-cacher-ng ? I am just confused with just this one atm | 02:45 |
| glitsj16 | jester: there's a package called linssid that shows what you want, i thought (mistakenly) that it was in the regular repos | 02:45 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: it's not necessary, but that means stuff it download WON'T be available to clients | 02:46 |
| john_rambo | Thanks a lot | 02:46 |
| glitsj16 | jester: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 02:46 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo: if host (server) uses it as well, then things will only have to be downloaded once, no matter by which host/client | 02:47 |
| glitsj16 | jester: yes it's the human readable name | 02:48 |

| rrawze | This has happened to me many tmes trying to boot a USB stick. Sometimes you have to create a USB boot stick via program called 'Unetbootin', and even then, sometimes it is flaky. I have seen where I have to create the USB atick 3 or 4 times to get it to work. | 03:47 |
| Beldar | CptBley, I would check the sum of the iso if needed, and maybe try another usb loader, as far as I can tell it should boot to the live desktop. | 03:47 |
| CptBley | Sum? Live Desktop? | 03:48 |
| Beldar | !md5sum | CptBley | 03:48 |
| ubottu | CptBley: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:48 |
| Beldar | CptBley, Is the ubuntu a live cd/usb ISO download? | 03:49 |
| CptBley | Yeah I downloaded the ISO today and used unetbootin to put it on a USB | 03:49 |
| Beldar | CptBley, check the sum, and maybe try another usb loader. If you used unetbootin to download the iso that not always works is all. | 03:50 |
| CptBley | !Hi |CptBley | 03:50 |
| CptBley | !Help | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 03:50 |
| CptBley | I didn't use unetbootin to download it | 03:51 |
| Beldar | CptBley, cool check the sum to verify a good download using the link. | 03:51 |
| CptBley | Im on a mac | 03:52 |
| Beldar | CptBley, Cool beyond me to help you, good luck. | 03:52 |

| ItsMeLenny | how do i install different versions of the same program from a ppa? | 03:55 |
| Beldar | ItsMeLenny, check that the versions are not release related. | 03:56 |

| ubottu | CptBley,: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 03:57 |
| salmandjuli | Indonesian | 03:58 |
| ItsMeLenny | Beldar, i want to keep the other versions | 03:59 |
| ItsMeLenny | such as wine, i want to install 1.6 and 1.4 | 03:59 |
| saiarcot895 | ItsMeLenny: if it's the same package name, you can't. If they have different package name, you might be able to | 03:59 |
| Beldar | ItsMeLenny, I think you may getting in over your head, just a guess, and making sure you understand ppa-purge | 04:00 |
| saiarcot895 | ItsMeLenny: for that, PlayOnLinux might help. I think it allows you to have different wine versions installed | 04:00 |
| zykotick9 | ItsMeLenny: check out playonlinux, it allows that. normally you can't have multiple versions of the same program installed. | 04:00 |
| ItsMeLenny | playonlinux didnt help | 04:01 |
| ItsMeLenny | not in over my head | 04:01 |
| Beldar | hehe of course not, the questions alone surely don't indicate this | 04:02 |
| saiarcot895 | ItsMeLenny: The "Manage Wine Versions" command didn't install the versions you want. | 04:02 |
| ItsMeLenny | how do a set up a 2nd environment | 04:02 |
| saiarcot895 | ItsMeLenny: ? at the end | 04:02 |
| rrawze | ItsMeLenny, just some thought on running stuff under wine. I have set my wine environment to server2003 instead of xp. It just runs better for some reason. I used to jump wine versions by re-installing it to get some programs to work, but setting the environment to server2003 stopped me from having to do this. All my programs i use for wine are now happy. | 04:07 |
| ItsMeLenny | rrawze, i'll try | 04:08 |
| ItsMeLenny | rrawze, didnt work | 04:09 |
| ItsMeLenny | something so bizarre is going on | 04:09 |
| alex_fun | hey folks is 13.10 good? | 04:12 |
| alex_fun | or 13.04 is better? | 04:12 |
| SchrodingersScat | alex_fun: I don't think support for 13.04 is much longer for this world | 04:13 |
| Beldar | alex_fun, Better is a subjective per person opinion | 04:13 |
| alex_fun | so 13.10 is more supported? | 04:13 |
| Beldar | equal support for all releases here still supported | 04:13 |
| alex_fun | cool | 04:13 |
| rrawze | alex_fun, I had much trouble with 13.1 vs 13.04 using the LXDE desktop environment, but I found out it was the login manager messing up things. I switched to LXDM and all is fantastic in 13.1 for me | 04:14 |

| shreezbot_ | Ok, so I have a TON of memory on my homeserver because I started out running Windows 2012, which happily ate all 24GB that I gave it. Now that I've seen the light and switched to Ubuntu (never looking back), what in the hell am I supposed to do with all of this memory? | 04:15 |
| shreezbot_ | I can't get this thing to use more than 2GB and I'm doing EVERYTHING on it! | 04:15 |
| SchrodingersScat | shreezbot_: tmpfs? | 04:15 |
| SchrodingersScat | shreezbot_: many a virtual machine? | 04:15 |
| shreezbot_ | SchrodingersScat, I thought of tmpfs, but my main OS drive is an SSD, so I don't really know if that's nessesary... | 04:16 |
| shreezbot_ | Oh, that's another thing... 256GB SSD and I'm using 5GB of it... #firstworldproblems indeed... | 04:17 |
| rrawze | SchrodingersScat, I have a PE2900 here with 32gb ram. Whenever it would sit for yo=hours, the memory/cahce manager would slowly eat the ram up with HDD cache, then whenever you would try to start a program, ity would make the computer seem crawling slow because it was trying to dump the ram back all the time. I eventually had to rewrite the cache manager to stop it. | 04:18 |
| SchrodingersScat | shreezbot_: ^ there you go, rewrite your cache manager. | 04:19 |
| shreezbot_ | SchrodingersScat, lol, I'm not that smart yet... I'm a Linux baby... :) | 04:20 |
| SchrodingersScat | shreezbot_: minecraft eats ram, right? | 04:21 |
| shreezbot_ | SchrodingersScat, I've heard that it does | 04:22 |
| rrawze | it will eat whatever amount of ram you allow for in the JVM environment. my minecraft server is currently using 2GB ram | 04:23 |
| rrawze | it takes about 300k blocks of tnt going off at once to bog it down to any significant degree' | 04:24 |

| dharani1 | hi | 05:06 |
| siberiannerd | i experience dependency problem adding bumblebee ppa on 13.04, am i the only one? | 05:06 |
| lotuspsychje | is it true one can execute sudo commands without the root password on ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| Beldar | lotuspsychje, There is no root password, you know that. | 05:07 |
| cfhowlett | !root | 05:08 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:08 |
| Beldar | admin user passwords are what you have | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | Beldar: yes but i mean, is it possible to run sudo commands, even not having admin pass | 05:08 |
| Beldar | I believe so not sure how though | 05:09 |
| lotuspsychje | that does sound scary no? | 05:09 |
| lotuspsychje | where does that leave ubuntu's security? | 05:09 |
| === dharani1 is now known as dharani_sahu | ||
| Beldar | behind the password if it is so like always | 05:09 |
| Beldar | I think you can acces the admin from a regular account with the admin password, not sure though. | 05:10 |
| lotuspsychje | ive been told any users can execute sudo commands without admin pass too | 05:11 |
| Beldar | been told, hmmmm | 05:11 |
| Beldar | by whom and did they show how. | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | by someone that helps alot here | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | lotuspsychje: You can't use sudo unless your user is a member of the "sudo" or "admin" group by default. | 05:12 |
| Beldar | any OS can be cracked it sounds like more along those lines to be honest, I want proof. | 05:12 |
| cfhowlett | I use su adminaccount from my daily account all the time rather than actually login to admin | 05:12 |
| dharani_sahu | @lotuspsychje you should know either ROOT password or ADMIN password to execute commands | 05:12 |
| lotuspsychje | dharani_sahu: thats just my point, this guy said its not nescesary to know admin pass | 05:13 |
| Beldar | cfhowlett, I figured it was a su | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | lotuspsychje, pics or it didn't happen ... | 05:13 |
| lotuspsychje | just automated sudo scripts would be enough? | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | lotuspsychje: That person was wrongwrong. | 05:14 |

| Jordan_U | duoi: What is your end goal? | 05:15 |
| duoi | Jordan_U, finding out firmware version | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | duoi: That's not an end goal. Why do you want to know the firmware version? | 05:17 |
| duoi | Jordan_U, for my own personal satisfcation | 05:18 |
| lotuspsychje | seems like my scrollback doesnt go that far | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | duoi: Ok. Firmware is generally loaded by the driver when the hardware is initialized, so that would probably be the place to start looking. | 05:20 |
| dharani_sahu | @lotuspsychje as Jordan_U said may be you need to be a user of Admin Group | 05:21 |
| Jordan_U | !logs | lotuspsychje | 05:21 |
| ubottu | lotuspsychje: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. | 05:21 |
| lotuspsychje | dharani_sahu: so another users cant do nothing, without being member of that admin group? | 05:21 |
| dharani_sahu | lotuspsyychje: yes | 05:22 |
| Jordan_U | lotuspsychje: They can't run processes as root. | 05:22 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: fyi, to use the sudo command you need to be in the sudo group (historically, it was admin) | 05:22 |

| Toyraztory | hi howlett | 05:30 |
| zykotick9 | scarrs: does "try ubuntu" do anything? if so, once booted into live environment, try the install icon there. | 05:30 |
| Jordan_U | duoi: GPU's don't have a BIOS. | 05:30 |
| Toyraztory | I cant seem to download non linux steam games | 05:30 |
| duoi | Jordan_U, what does GPU-Z report on Windows then? http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/gpu-z-save-bios.png | 05:30 |
| Jordan_U | duoi: They have option ROMs that run in the BIOS. | 05:31 |
| cfhowlett | Toyraztory, makes sense. why would steam load osx/windows games on your linux box? | 05:31 |
| duoi | Jordan_U, how can I get those details on Linux? | 05:31 |

| cfhowlett | Toyraztory, pretty sure playonlinux and steam aren't built to cooperate | 05:32 |
| cfhowlett | !firewall|varun, | 05:32 |
| ubottu | varun,: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 05:32 |

| ubottu | sdfsfs,: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 06:13 |
| sdfsfs | thanks | 06:14 |

| KI7MT | Bray90820: I did allot of looking around and did not really find anything that was a solid solution. | 06:15 |

| mnsekh | thanks for the resources ubottu , cfhowlett | 06:23 |
| KI7MT | whoops libcurl4-gnutls-dev .. not 5 | 06:23 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT: so what do you think? | 06:24 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: I would install libcurl4-gnutlss-dev .. it required 3, but also provided libcurl4-dev | 06:25 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: Have a lok at: apt-cache show libcurl4-gnutls-dev .. | 06:26 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT, I typed that into my console, and it went insane. | 06:27 |
| muchdoge | sorryI guess I should say im a complete lynux noob | 06:27 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: lol .. Well according to the package, it provided libcurl4-dev, and that looks to be the only way your going to get libcurl4 .. | 06:28 |
| muchdoge | oh, should I have let that run? | 06:29 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: yes, in terminal type: apt-cache show libcurl4-gnutls-dev | 06:29 |
| KI7MT | That will list the package details .. it won't install it though. | 06:30 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT, How do I install it? | 06:30 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev | 06:31 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT. Same error. Should I copy and paste it somewhere so you can see? | 06:32 |

| KI7MT | Hello | 06:48 |
| MarkDavies | How can I start vi (not vim) in Ubuntu? | 06:48 |
| Bray90820 | KI7MT: maybe i could just change the default value of the mouse | 06:49 |
| Bray90820 | KI7MT: xinput | 06:49 |
| boobs_ | whois Hexeon | 06:50 |
| KI7MT | MarkDavies: this may be what your needding: http://askubuntu.com/questions/111019/how-to-make-vi-default | 06:52 |
| MarkDavies | thank you, KI7MT | 06:53 |
| KI7MT | Bray90820: Im really not sure what you need to do .. I've not used a BT mouse before. | 06:53 |
| Bray90820 | Well maybe someone else can chime in then | 06:54 |
| Bray90820 | What i want to do it make this my default | 06:55 |
| Bray90820 | xinput --set-prop "Aaron’s mouse" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 3.5 | 06:55 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT: OK, Im not sure what to do now. Someone told me to install it from repositories, but from what I can tell, that would be an install CD. I dont have one, I installed via a USB. | 06:55 |
| MarkDavies | Ok, let's assume that I've just started vim. How can I go to the insert mode nicely? | 06:55 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: If your really new to Ubuntu and the Terminal itself, may be worth reading the relavent portions of the ubuntu-manaul, just for background so your not lots on all the instructions. | 06:56 |

| MarkDavies | KI7MT: I have the general knowledge of vim. But I can't find how to go to the insert mode. I tried to do it with ESC :i after starting vi, but it doesn't work. | 06:58 |

| quizme | hi, i installed postfix, but when i tried to run it, I got the message that port 25 is already in use, but i don't have anything running on port 25 as far as i know. | 07:00 |
| MarkDavies | KI7MT: do you use vim? | 07:01 |
| KI7MT | MarkDavies: No. | 07:02 |
| KI7MT | quizme: Did you elect to configure later, or do the config at install ? | 07:02 |
| quizme | K17MT I configured it as an internet server | 07:03 |
| quizme | K17MT i see something about Sendmail accepting connections | 07:04 |
| KI7MT | quizme: have a look at: ... nmap localhost ... and see what that tells you | 07:04 |
| KI7MT | quizme: you may need to dpkg-reconfigure postfix | 07:06 |
| quizme | K17MT http://pastebin.com/ZLCkeHd0 | 07:06 |

| muchdoge | KI7MT. I read that. Im still having the same problem If I try to install it from the app center, it tells me to check my internet connection. If i install it from console, I get a 404 error. Im fully connected, as you can see, so what is the problem? | 07:13 |
| imghost | Bray90820, inbuilt, usb or wireless mouse? | 07:14 |
| KI7MT | quizme: that looks a bit odd, sendmail has p25, I belive, that should be postfix, have you tried restarting PF after install ? | 07:14 |
| Bray90820 | imghost: bluetooth mouse | 07:14 |
| Bray90820 | apple magic mouse | 07:14 |
| quizme | k17MT postfix is not running due to the port conflict. | 07:15 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: have you done an update / upgrqade since you installed Ubuntu ? | 07:15 |
| quizme | k17mt I guess i have to kill sendmail | 07:15 |
| imghost | Bray90820, oh ok i do not have much knowledge of bluetooth mouse but try to install sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics , i think it will solve your problem | 07:16 |
| muchdoge | It did one today when I logged on....Ill do it again boss....sorry, I know everyone is asking you everything. I really appreciate the help KI7MT | 07:16 |
| KI7MT | quizme: sudo apt-get purge sendmail | 07:16 |
| KI7MT | sudo apt-get install --reinstall postfix | 07:16 |
| KI7MT | sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart | 07:16 |
| quizme | K17MT: Package 'sendmail' is not installed, so not removed | 07:17 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:17 |
| Bray90820 | imghost:from there could i add "--set-prop "Aaron’s mouse" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 3.5" and it would work? | 07:17 |
| imghost | Bray90820, i think yes | 07:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Bray90820: another one here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/285970/mouse-acceleration-13-04 | 07:17 |
| Bray90820 | Thanks | 07:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Bray90820: maybe you can edit settings from dconf-editor aswell? | 07:18 |
| KI7MT | quizme: then either restart or dpkg-reconfigure postfix and restart it. | 07:18 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT: How often does one need to run an update like this? | 07:18 |
| Bray90820 | Thanks | 07:18 |
| quizme | K17MT how is it that Sendmail was running but never installed ? | 07:18 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: depends .. I do it before installing any SW | 07:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Bray90820: or maybe unity-tweak-tool | 07:19 |
| KI7MT | quizme: I dont know, that's odd as well. | 07:19 |
| quizme | K17MT could i be hacked ? | 07:19 |
| KI7MT | quizme: anythign is possible, but I highly doubt it. Is this a local machine ot a remote server? | 07:20 |
| quizme | K17MT remote | 07:20 |
| KI7MT | quizme: and this is a ubuntu server yes? | 07:20 |
| quizme | yes | 07:20 |
| quizme | K17MT yes | 07:21 |
| KI7MT | quizme: lets find out if this is postfix sendmail: dpkg -S `which sendmail` | 07:22 |
| quizme | K17MT postfix: /usr/sbin/sendmail | 07:22 |
| KI7MT | quizme: As Postfix is actually a drop in replacement for sendmail that has it's own sendmail binary. | 07:23 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| KI7MT | quizme: That's what you shoudl ahve, that's proof that Postfix is using it's sendmail and it locked onto p25. | 07:24 |
| quizme | K17MT okay... | 07:24 |
| KI7MT | quizme: so you could do a quick dpkg-reconfigure, then restart, and test from there., as you know Postfix has P25. | 07:25 |
| quizme | K17MT which options should i choose ? | 07:25 |
| KI7MT | quizme: jsut fyi, my nock is K i cap I not 1 :-) | 07:26 |
| KI7MT | my nick .. | 07:26 |
| quizme | oh | 07:26 |
| quizme | KI7MT which option should i choose? (No config, Internet site, Internet site with smarthost, satellite, local) | 07:27 |
| quizme | i chose internet site last time | 07:27 |
| Bray90820 | I think i might just need to give up on the magic mouse if i want to use ubuntu | 07:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Bray90820: you sure your bluetooth driver is installed correctly? | 07:28 |
| lotuspsychje | Bray90820: here's an url on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleMagicMouse | 07:28 |
| KI7MT | quizme: I would have a read of the install docs for that answer, as the configs would be different for each, I belive the standard is Internet Site, but you'll need all the host name and routing info at that point. | 07:29 |
| Bray90820 | lotuspsychje: the problem isn't with the mouse itself it's with ubuntu | 07:31 |
| lotuspsychje | Bray90820: what ubuntu version are you on mate? | 07:32 |
| Bray90820 | I am on 13.10 | 07:32 |
| lotuspsychje | Bray90820: did you try blueman? | 07:32 |
| lotuspsychje | !info blueman | Bray90820 | 07:33 |

| KI7MT | quizme: are you using a how-too for this or just starting on it? There's several good Devcot + Postfix install how too's I can dig you one up if need be. | 07:35 |
| xmetal | hmm has anyone ever had the issue of "unity displaying fine" but having no programs or anything IN THE unity menus? (if so, you know what would cause this?) | 07:35 |

| xmetal | i dont use unity all the time, though i do want to figure out what may be causing this | 07:43 |

| xmetal | I have tried (just because i like them) other DE's and Unity is the only one with this issue ... KDE, LXDE, XFCE, all have "normal" menus | 07:48 |
| xmetal | no big deal but i would like to see if i can figure out whats wrong here | 07:49 |

| kkkkk | guys and gals please guide, | 07:49 |
| lotuspsychje | xmetal: maybe try e3 or blackbox on it? just to see improvement | 07:50 |
| lotuspsychje | xmetal: or install lubuntu-desktop on it like cfhowlett suggests | 07:50 |
| KI7MT | xmetal: I'd agree with cfhowlett .. the gfx requirments of Unity os a fare bit higher than, LXDE (Lubuntu) or XFCE (Xubuntu) may be the best option for you with older hardware. | 07:50 |
| lotuspsychje | i had an old acer once, even didnt like lubuntu either | 07:51 |
| xmetal | issue is i have used ubuntu and other distros (you cna guess which one) + unity before and it was a-ok | 07:51 |
| xmetal | maybe there is something with the new version that doesn't "like" my computer's graphics card | 07:52 |
| lotuspsychje | xmetal: wich version are you trying? | 07:52 |
| lotuspsychje | kkkkk: huawei installed by default for me on 13.04..not sure bout other versions | 07:53 |
| KI7MT | xmetal: I'd first try with 12.04 LTS .. then, if you really need the later 13.xx versoin, give them a shot, or wait until 14.04 to LTS to LTS upgrade. | 07:55 |

| athene_noctua | Is it in /dev somewhere? | 08:00 |
| lotuspsychje | athene_noctua: show volumes visible desktop or something | 08:01 |
| atmosx | hello, can I somehow tell ufw not to use dmesg to dump logs but to use a specific file? | 08:02 |
| KI7MT | athene_noctua: ls /dev/cd* .. not sure why you'd want automount off, but all esle fails, re-enable it in dconf-editor | 08:04 |
| athene_noctua | KI7MT: Ah, I think I see it. I should just be able to manually mount it to /media or /whateverelse then . . . | 08:05 |
| athene_noctua | KI7MT: I never thought to use a wildcard with ls like that, smart thinking. | 08:07 |
| KI7MT | atmosx: I dont think so, /etc/rsyslog.d/20-ufw.conf tells rsyslog which kernel ring entries get bufferd to ufw logs, but there may be a redirect hack somewhere. | 08:07 |
| athene_noctua | Well, thanks. I got it figured right nicely now. /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw are sym links to their respective block devices, also in /dev. | 08:09 |
| KI7MT | atmosx: you could have a look at: ufw off .. man ufw has more options. | 08:10 |

| muchdoge | sorry, I mean what is the command line to install a .run program I have DOWNLOADED. | 08:31 |
| BlackDex | just execute it via a terminal | 08:31 |

| kkkkk1 | hi, all, how to do calling from modem in ubuntu | 08:32 |
| kkkkk1 | i have huawei e303u | 08:32 |
| BlackDex | KI7MT: Thx.. i will check it :) | 08:32 |
| kkkkk1 | i have ubuntu 12.04 | 08:33 |
| kkkkk1 | LTS | 08:33 |
| muchdoge | BlackDex: same error, must run as super user. | 08:33 |
| kkkkk1 | is there any gui to do mobile calling from ubuntu | 08:33 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: chmod +x <file-name>.run .. then ./file-name.run | 08:33 |
| BlackDex | muchdoge: add gksu or sudo infront of it :) | 08:33 |
| muchdoge | Thanks! | 08:33 |
| KI7MT | hmmm fergot about sudo on that one, whoops :-) | 08:35 |
| muchdoge | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6627996/ | 08:38 |
| KI7MT | kkkkk1: See Info: http://askubuntu.com/questions/179324/huawei-e173-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 08:38 |
| kkkkk1 | let me see, KI7MT | 08:38 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: try one at a time: sudo apt-get install ./amd-catalyst-13.11-beta then sudo apt-get install ./v9.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run | 08:40 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT and BlackDex: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6627996/ this is what I get for all of the above. | 08:40 |
| muchdoge | Rgr | 08:40 |
| kkkkk1 | KI7MT: this is only for internet, i want to use call facility of the modem, it is capable of doing voice calls from PC | 08:41 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT. I figured out the whole problem I was typing out the full file name. .run and all. | 08:41 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: Oh man my bad, those are not apt packages .. at least the .run is not | 08:42 |
| kkkkk1 | KI7MT: on windows i do it regularly, and this should be the case with ubuntu also | 08:42 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: just to sudo ./<file-name>.run | 08:42 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: correct instructions: sudo ./amd-catalyst-13.11-beta then sudo install./v9.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run | 08:43 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: sudo ./amd-catalyst-13.11-beta | 08:44 |
| kkkkk1 | KI7MT: i want to do voice calls from Laptop, USSD & SMS, since it is capable of doing all these things, then why not in linux also, further, Huawei is world's largest telecom solutions provider, so there should be native support for such devices | 08:44 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: sudo ./v9.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run | 08:44 |
| KI7MT | Sorry, copy and paste kicking me in the back side... | 08:44 |

| cfhowlett | kkkkk1, there will support only if the OEM (huawei) decides to offer such. otherwise you must wait patiently until the linux community decides that figuring out a way is a worthy project. | 08:45 |
| muchdoge | KI7MT: Command not found. But the file is right there. | 08:45 |
| KI7MT | kkkkk1: I dont make the call what is or is not supported in the kernel .. need to take that up with Linus Torvalds Mr. Linux Kernel :-) | 08:45 |
| cfhowlett | kkkkk1, here's a hint: does Huawei suggest that they offer linux support ? | 08:46 |
| kkkkk1 | cfhowlett: it is a worthy project, most of people in INdia now a days, use 3g modems, not wired broadband | 08:46 |
| kkkkk1 | cfhowlett: yes they offer linux support | 08:46 |
| KI7MT | muchdoge: all you need is sudo ./file-name .. and if you you alreadh chmod + x the file should run, sorry for the confusion. | 08:46 |
| cfhowlett | kkkkk1, again; Mr. Linus Torvalds but if they offer linux support shouldn't you be on their site to get the official instructions? | 08:46 |
| KI7MT | Other way to di it, ndiswrapper and chmod the win-driver, but Im not going there on this one. | 08:47 |
| KI7MT | modprobe the win-driver | 08:47 |
| BlackDex | ah.. i have found the problem... it is amixer which is broken | 08:48 |
| BlackDex | it mutes everything for some reason | 08:48 |
| kkkkk1 | cfhowlett: i am not lINUs TORVALDS, but why people will choose linux, when there are so many restrictions on user, apart from simplicity, like wifi either slow or not working, first time user don't know how to blacklist n all, no support for windows programs, except virtualbox, no highlighting in PDF's and many other issues | 08:49 |
| kkkkk1 | mobile broadband not working, bluetooth broken | 08:49 |
| cfhowlett | kkkkk1, you really asking the wrong person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Torvalds | 08:50 |
| kkkkk1 | if by some gud luck, mobile broadband worked , then USSD not working, SMS not working | 08:50 |
| kkkkk1 | cfhowlett: thanks | 08:50 |
| cfhowlett | kkkkk1, and on a side note; "no support for windows programs ..." OF COURSE NOT! linux ain't windows! | 08:51 |
| kkkkk1 | but there should be some programs that can do somebody's tasks | 08:51 |
| xangua | no support for specific mac programs either ;) | 08:52 |
| kkkkk1 | VLC, chrome, are some good programs, but they exist on windows too | 08:52 |

| the_drow | Hi guys, I accidently deleted /usr/local/lib/ How do I restore it? | 08:57 |
| somsip | the_drow: how did you delete it? Command line or Nautilus? | 08:58 |
| the_drow | somsip: command line | 08:58 |
| somsip | !undelete | the_drow | 08:58 |
| the_drow | I'm an idiot. | 08:58 |
| ubottu | the_drow: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 08:58 |
| somsip | the_drow: but it may all be a bit ugly for you... | 08:58 |
| Bray90820 | Is there a way to run a script after a bluetooth device is connected | 08:59 |
| llutz | the_drow: /usr/local/lib should be nearly empty on default installations, so if you haven't installed a lot of 3rd party stuff, you might be lucky and won't miss anything. | 09:00 |
| wangzheng | haha | 09:00 |
| wangzheng | exit | 09:00 |
| the_drow | llutz: I had http://paste.ubuntu.com/6628082/ | 09:01 |
| somsip | the_drow: perl, python and some ruby here. So you could repair any of those if you use them | 09:01 |
| llutz | Bray90820: you may monitor dbus events and trigger a script that way | 09:01 |
| the_drow | I wrote sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/ lib* instead of -r /usr/local/lib/lib* | 09:01 |
| KI7MT | that could be ugly | 09:02 |
| the_drow | Why the hell am I allowed to do that without warning :P | 09:03 |
| cfhowlett | the_drow, because if you're smart enough to know what sudo is, you're expected to be smart enough to know what NOT to do? | 09:04 |
| llutz | the_drow: you arent, it needed root-rights and root should know what he's doing | 09:04 |
| KI7MT | the_drow: well .. that little thing called sudo .. is why not all users are in the sudo group .. | 09:04 |
| gry | Hi. What tool may you recommend to clean up some space if I think I have a lot of programs I maybe don't need, and removing a program doesn't remove dependencies automatically? I have a lot of audio, tex, other applications I don't need, they installed with a lot of fonts etc. | 09:04 |
| Rory | gry: You could use the Disk Usage Analyser to find any large unneeded files or folders | 09:05 |
| KI7MT | gry: apt-get purge and autoremve | 09:05 |
| cfhowlett | gry, sudo apt-get purge programnanehere should do it | 09:05 |
| KI7MT | autoremove | 09:05 |
| Rory | gry: You could also look at installing Bleachbit which is sort of like ccleaner for Linux | 09:06 |
| cfhowlett | ^^ also apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean and apt-get clean | 09:06 |
| KI7MT | gry: also Ubuntu Tweak has a descent janitor in it also. | 09:06 |
| gry | Rory: I already tried k3dirstat, it is not very helpful as the individual files or directories are not big. KI7MT, I would try apt-get purge and the like, but I would find it useful if it said which programs are taking most space, with dependencies included. | 09:07 |
| gry | Ok, k4dirstat, not k3dirstat. | 09:07 |
| gry | Rory: Bleachbit looks small; I am not interested in clearing cookies, while I'm interested in other non-temporary things (the install takes 10GB + 10GB /home already with, I think, most of it in /usr/ or some like). | 09:08 |
| llutz | gry: you may set "APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant false;" in apt config and hope that apt-get autoremove removes most of the unwanted stuff | 09:09 |
| KI7MT | gry: I'd had to do some diggign to find an app that says which packages have the biggest footprint + deps, that can get kinda hairy. | 09:09 |
| somsip | gry: check unneeded locales | 09:10 |
| gry | FYI apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean and apt-get clean freed only 200MB or so. | 09:10 |
| somsip | gry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 09:10 |
| KI7MT | gry: one cmli app, localepurge gets rid of allof of unwanted lang packages too, also controls future installs as well. | 09:11 |
| gry | Locales look like a last resort, there is a package to get rid of those but I'm trying to address the main problem — redundant installed programs and libraries. | 09:11 |
| the_drow | Does anyone know how to enable SASL support for libmemcached? It seems that ubuntu doesn't compile libmemcached with libsasl by default | 09:11 |
| somsip | gry: fair enough. I cleared a surprising amount when I deleted dead locales on a recommendation from here | 09:11 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest10463 | ||
| gry | Ok. I think it's not my case. Although I'll think of it if I'm on fire at some point. ;) | 09:12 |
| Rory | gry: You can remove packages which no other packages depend on, and that you did not manually install, with "sudo apt-get autoremove" | 09:12 |
| gry | llutz: I'll try the autoremove with "APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant false;" in a moment. | 09:12 |
| === nibbler_ is now known as schnibbl | ||
| Rory | gry: You can also delete downloaded package installer files in the cache with "sudo apt-get clean" | 09:13 |
| gry | Rory: That only freed 200MB, I think, like I mentioned a minute ago. | 09:13 |
| Rory | gry: Ah Sorry I missed that. Take a look with the disk usage analyser you might have some .iso sitting around somewhere or something | 09:13 |
| gry | llutz: Where can I find "apt config"? | 09:13 |
| KI7MT | the_drow: See info about mid way down the page: http://blog.couchbase.com/sasl-memcached-now-available | 09:13 |
| gry | Rory: I used k4dirstat and I will try the disk usage analyser in a moment as well. | 09:14 |
| llutz | gry: add the entry to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99zzz-personal | 09:14 |
| Dermhye | hi | 09:14 |
| KI7MT | Hello | 09:14 |
| gry | llutz: The file does not exist. Ok to create it? | 09:14 |
| the_drow | KI7MT: I already know that one. The latest libmemcached has a bug in their compilation process. | 09:14 |
| llutz | gry: sure | 09:14 |
| Rory | lol llutz "999zzz-personal" you're taking no chances | 09:15 |
| KI7MT | the_drow: no work around fer the bug? | 09:15 |
| gry | llutz: After creating it, apt-get autoremove, or apt-get update first? | 09:15 |
| llutz | Rory: make sure its the last one being read ... | 09:15 |
| Rory | llutz: I know, just made me laugh | 09:15 |
| the_drow | KI7MT: You have to disable -lsanitize=thread | 09:15 |
| llutz | gry: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get autoremove | 09:15 |
| the_drow | I'm not sure what that means | 09:15 |
| llutz | Rory: german perfectionism :( | 09:16 |
| gry | I wonder how it'd guess that I have LyX installed and don't mind getting rid of it... Hmm. Trying, anyway, it's a wonderful thing to try. | 09:16 |
| KI7MT | the_drow: me either, I'd have to do allot of digging through the ./confiure & dos to work that one out. | 09:16 |
| gry | Ah, that's a HUGE list with 1GB freed if I go for it. | 09:16 |
| KI7MT | *docs not dos | 09:16 |
| llutz | gry: check the list of removed packages carefully | 09:17 |
| llutz | gry: _before_ pressing Y | 09:17 |
| llutz | gry: but in most cases you won't miss anything of the stuff being removed. if you do, just reinstall it later | 09:18 |
| KI7MT | Backup comes to mind ;-) | 09:18 |
| gry | llutz: I read it. I think it doesn't pretend to remove anything horridly useful (eg, if one of the things it removes is needed for a program, it would also propose to remove the program, right?) https://pastee.org/ttgtz | 09:18 |
| llutz | package-list backup | 09:18 |
| gry | How do I use the backup thing? Command not found. | 09:19 |
| llutz | gry: dpkg --get-selections >~/mypackages.list | 09:19 |
| KI7MT | dpkg --get-selections > /package_list.txt .. I was too slow .. lol | 09:20 |
| Rory | gry: That's going to break a lot of things, just from a quick glance it will break vlc, it will break any openbox you're using, you'll lose java, and anything that uses python-lxml | 09:20 |
| Rory | you want to uninstall libpython3.2? | 09:21 |
| llutz | Rory: lose java?? just a few hardly needed additional packages | 09:22 |
| gry | llutz: https://pastee.org/6bhec | 09:22 |
| gry | Rory: I don't know what depends on it. Knowing that would be nice. | 09:22 |
| MrDyne | Got a sub domain on my server setup with a self signed ssl/https. It's the only https vhost so any https connection show that one subdomain which is a private wiki. I don't want that. How do I make Apache not to default all https to that sub domain. | 09:22 |
| gry | Probably things would work with python 2. | 09:22 |
| gry | I might prefer some similar but less automatic tool, rather, semi-automated. | 09:22 |
| KI7MT | There's allot fo stuff on that list. | 09:22 |
| Rory | OK well I'm not advocating that command unless you don't care what happens, or know how to fix it | 09:23 |
| gry | I don't care, I know how to fix it, but I'd not mind a less automated tool still. | 09:23 |
| gry | Something that does less things for me. | 09:23 |
| Rory | gry: You could install synaptic and go through all the installed packages, uninstalling anything you don't want | 09:24 |
| gry | Is removing /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99zzz-personal and apt-get updating enough to get rid of the change it imposed? | 09:24 |
| llutz | gry: yes | 09:24 |
| KI7MT | That's probably a good ideas as you can filter by programs, development, etc etc | 09:24 |
| gry | Ok. I also tried synaptic, it can sort by size of individual package, but not "package and all dependencies". | 09:25 |
| llutz | gry: now you have a list of packages you manually can edit and remove what seems to be safe for you | 09:25 |
| llutz | gry: and don't worry about the linux-* packages. those are old unused kernels, you safely can remove if your running kernel works fine | 09:27 |
| KI7MT | Ubuntu Tweak is good at gettign rid of all those old kernels safely. | 09:27 |
| gry | llutz: I noticed. :) | 09:27 |
| llutz | dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge | 09:27 |
| dipedup0 | gry: don't remove them. You may want to run other kernel | 09:28 |
| gry | Yeh, I know the space they take roughly. | 09:28 |
| cfhowlett | gry, keep at least ONE old working kernel | 09:28 |
| dipedup0 | When is Ubuntu phone going to hit metro pcs | 09:29 |

| === andrex is now known as Guest28346 | ||
| gry | cfhowlett: "I have this one, it's a year old as I didn't update. Can I remove everything else?" comes to mind. But that's solid advice, I just should keep looking for a program that shows size of packages in a more tree-like way. | 09:29 |
| cfhowlett | dipedup0, long answer short: no one knows any details yet. | 09:29 |
| dipedup0 | gry: why remove them. Just leave them. | 09:32 |
| dipedup0 | cfhowlett: they have long way to catch Google android. | 09:33 |
| dipedup0 | Maybe they should go route like apple and make own hardware to. | 09:35 |
| Rory | dipedup0: I imagine they'll partner with a hardware manufacturer like LG | 09:35 |
| Rory | dipedup0: Similar to Google and its Nexus phones | 09:36 |
| Beldar | dipedup0, This is support not your blog on the ubuntu touch. | 09:36 |

| gry | dipedup0: The hardware way is probably still in the future. It's not uncommon to start with something simple and focus on software initially. | 09:38 |

| ArunC | dipedup0: doesn't matter which repo, the clone is failing. | 09:44 |

| we6jbo | All the audio from one computer playing on another computer | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | we6jbo: I think you can do that with pulseaudio | 09:54 |
| we6jbo | I was thinking about doing that as an alternative to using Bluetooth but I don't know if that would work or if it would be such a good idea | 09:54 |
| KI7MT | MrDyne: Been a while since I used self-certs, and applied at the domain level, any sub.domain is also covered by the same cert, and you cant seperate them unless its a seperate domain. | 09:55 |
| xmetal | well i did get everything except the applications back in unity | 09:55 |
| gordonjcp | we6jbo: 73 de mm0yeq | 09:55 |
| xmetal | turns out some needed package (I think i have this right) Unity-scope-home was not installed | 09:56 |

| gster | Hi there, I am struggling to mount a drive I cloned with dd. Even after a reboot I got this error while trying to use fdisk: "fdisk: unable to seek on /dev/sdb: Invalid argument". Any help would be grateful. | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | we6jbo: you'll need to translate a little for differences between Arch and Ubuntu | 09:56 |
| MonkeyDust | gster what was the exact fdisk command? | 09:57 |
| we6jbo | gordonjcp: I'll continue reading through the website. Thanks for the link | 10:01 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: If I do fidsk -l the output shows /dev/sda partitions perfectly but regarding /dev/sdb/ , the output is : "Note : sector size is 4096 (not 512)" and then, "fdisk: unable to seek on /dev/sdb : invalid argument" | 10:01 |
| MonkeyDust | gster ok, paste this line in a terminal: sudo apt-get install pastebinit;sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here in the channel | 10:02 |
| MrDyne | KI7MT: I don't want domain wide https.. At the moment I only want https to load and work for a single sub domain.. at the moment I can type in any made up https://*sub*.domain and even the main domain and it shows me the wiki. | 10:05 |
| gordonjcp | we6jbo: what are you trying to do, anyway? | 10:05 |
| we6jbo | gordonjcp: I wanted to play audio from my 2nd computer wirelessly to my netbook through headphones as an alternative to using bluetooth or wireless headphones | 10:06 |
| gordonjcp | we6jbo: ah, that pulse stuff ought to do it | 10:07 |
| we6jbo | to go along with my wireless keyboard | 10:07 |
| we6jbo | I don't know if there would be too much lag though | 10:07 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: OK I am posting the pastebin URL shortly. FYI The dd command I used was dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb conv=noerror,notrunc | 10:08 |
| Clever_Ideot | hello .. | 10:08 |

| Clever_Ideot | I have a discrepancy .. | 10:09 |
| Clever_Ideot | there seems to be issues with php5 packages | 10:09 |
| Clever_Ideot | I'm repetatively getting error | 10:09 |
| Clever_Ideot | do u guys know a Marc Daslauriers ?? | 10:11 |
| gry | No. But what with him, and what error? | 10:11 |

| KI7MT | MrDyne: for a simple soluton I'd look into using .htaccess to https requests. Otherwise use mod_rewrite and RewriteCond's to filter requests. | 10:12 |
| Clever_Ideot | why are php5 packages showing this when attempting to do an install?? | 10:13 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: What are you running to get that error? Can you please show me the full command and the full output? | 10:13 |
| Rory | Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel | 10:13 |
| Clever_Ideot | apt-get install php5 | 10:13 |
| Clever_Ideot | php5 anything | 10:13 |
| Clever_Ideot | even happens in synaptic | 10:13 |
| Rory | OK, can you please show me the full output of "sudo apt-get install php5-cli" on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 10:14 |
| === [Derek] is now known as to | ||
| === to is now known as [Derek] | ||
| Clever_Ideot | has there been any other reports of the same issue?? | 10:14 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: Not in here, at least that I've seen | 10:15 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: Are you going to show me or not? | 10:15 |
| Clever_Ideot | okey dokey | 10:15 |
| Clever_Ideot | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6628389/ | 10:16 |
| me-1 | hi....I was doing "sudo apt-get upgrade" in the middle of the process I had power cut . what should I do now..? | 10:17 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: That is all that appears when you run the command "sudo apt-get install php5-cli" ? No other output? | 10:17 |
| Clever_Ideot | yea dude , that little window pops up | 10:17 |
| Clever_Ideot | I guess that's in my tmp folder or something | 10:17 |
| Rory | me-1: Try running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" again - if you get an error, put the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com and show me | 10:17 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: pastebin.com/bUszA5kW | 10:18 |
| Clever_Ideot | okey dokey | 10:18 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: Can you please run this command exactly as it's shown here: sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install php5-cli | pastebinit | 10:18 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: That first one was for me-1 not you | 10:18 |
| me-1 | Rory, I am doing as you said | 10:19 |
| Clever_Ideot | awww | 10:19 |
| Clever_Ideot | I don't want to do upgrades | 10:19 |
| Clever_Ideot | do I have ta?? | 10:19 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: It's OK, the second one was for you. I haven't asked you to do upgrades | 10:19 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: Can you please run this command exactly as it's shown here: sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install php5-cli | pastebinit | 10:19 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: It will give you just a single URL, can you let me know what that is please | 10:20 |
| Clever_Ideot | ok | 10:20 |
| Clever_Ideot | well I will do php-pear | 10:20 |
| Rory | Sure | 10:20 |
| Rory | That's fine, whatever you know gives you an error | 10:20 |
| Clever_Ideot | what is pastebinit | 10:20 |
| gry | Clever_Ideot: it sends output to a web page. | 10:21 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: It will automatically put the output of a command onto paste.ubuntu.com | 10:21 |
| Clever_Ideot | I just pasted the output | 10:21 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: for example "echo hello | pastebinit" will make a pastebin with hello | 10:21 |
| Clever_Ideot | what other alternatives do I have?? | 10:22 |
| Clever_Ideot | everyone likes options | 10:22 |
| MonkeyDust | gster this link shows the same error, but it is zentyal related (which is ubuntu based) -- what's the output of cat /etc/issue | 10:22 |
| Rory | Ahh Clever_Ideot hold on... can you please try running sudo apt-get remove apt-listchanges | 10:22 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: And then sudo apt-get update, and try your install again | 10:22 |
| Clever_Ideot | ok, I'll hold | 10:23 |
| Clever_Ideot | brb | 10:23 |
| Clever_Ideot | Ima make me a sammich | 10:23 |
| KI7MT | lol | 10:23 |
| ObrienDave | food? at a time like this? ;P | 10:23 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. I am tunning on a live CD | 10:23 |
| newworldorder | My messages file is empty and messages.gz.1 etc are from 2011. Why could this be? | 10:23 |
| bekks | newworldorder: No logging enabled. | 10:23 |
| newworldorder | How can I enable it? | 10:24 |
| newworldorder | I am getting an error message every 5 Minutes. | 10:24 |
| newworldorder | And I want to find out what is causing this. | 10:24 |
| ObrienDave | umm, turn message logging on? | 10:24 |
| MonkeyDust | gster first of all: the latest 12.04 is .3 , maybe that's part of the issue | 10:25 |
| bekks | And we have to guess the error message? | 10:25 |
| * lotuspsychje wishes a merry xmass to all #ubuntu users and supporters: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6628415/ | 10:25 | |
| ObrienDave | Bah, Humbug. ;)) | 10:25 |
| Rory | bekks: Guess the error message is my favourite game | 10:25 |
| ObrienDave | whwt? you didn't pass mind reading class? oh, the shame ;P | 10:26 |
| KI7MT | Seems to be alot of folks playing that game fer sure. | 10:26 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: I do not understand why I cannot see the partitions on the new drive after running dd (+partprobe/reboot). What about this note about the sector size (4096) ? | 10:27 |
| andyfied | i'm playing guess what caused the segfault right now | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | gster nah, it's above my head, never done it myself, i'm sure someone else can help better | 10:28 |
| andyfied | opening the log causes a segfault too | 10:28 |
| bekks | newworldorder: So do you want tell us the actual error message? | 10:28 |
| [Gentoo] | andyfied: nice | 10:29 |
| Clever_Ideot | hahaha! | 10:29 |
| matrixa1 | Hello! I desperately want snow on my Compiz desktop. The package I need is compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported but it's deprecated in 13.10. What do I do? Can't find a ppa with it | 10:29 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: This problem happened when I copy the raw device (if=/dev/sda). I tried to do a dd of the partiton (if=/dev/sda1) and It worked but then the partitions is not bootable ... | 10:29 |
| Clever_Ideot | this is what you do ... | 10:29 |
| Rory | matrixa1: Blast from the past :) I don't think you'll be able to get that on a Unity desktop | 10:29 |
| newworldorder | bekks, I clicked it away. I am just reading that there is no more messages file in natty? | 10:29 |
| Clever_Ideot | you pee in a spray bottle | 10:29 |
| Clever_Ideot | ... | 10:29 |
| Clever_Ideot | get fan | 10:30 |
| newworldorder | That means that I can delete the messages log files? | 10:30 |
| lotuspsychje | matrixa1: i found wobbly windows in compiz-plugins-extra | 10:30 |
| bekks | newworldorder: Dont touch them :) | 10:30 |
| Clever_Ideot | and put your computer in a freezer | 10:30 |
| efe | hi | 10:30 |
| bekks | newworldorder: And without the error message, we cant help you, unfortunately. | 10:30 |
| [Gentoo] | newworldorder: you could but why | 10:30 |
| Clever_Ideot | then spray the mist in the fan towards the computer | 10:30 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: by It worked, I meant I am able to mount the new /dev/sdb1 parttion ... | 10:30 |
| lotuspsychje | Clever_Ideot: plz stay polite in channel | 10:30 |
| Clever_Ideot | I was giving advice | 10:30 |
| matrixa1 | Rory, xfce here ;) yeah, it was working once upon a time before packages killed backwards compatibility | 10:30 |
| [Gentoo] | Clever_Ideot: how is pee related to snow | 10:30 |
| newworldorder | bekks, it is my dad`s ubuntu laptop. I have to wait until the error message comes again | 10:31 |
| MonkeyDust | gster you made it? problem solved? | 10:31 |
| Rory | matrixa1: I'm not sure xfce even uses Compiz | 10:31 |
| Clever_Ideot | well why not make it yellow snow | 10:31 |
| Clever_Ideot | go against the grain | 10:31 |
| [Gentoo] | newworldorder: do you remember even a little bit of the error | 10:31 |
| matrixa1 | Rory, it doesn't, I just like to have a few effects here and there hehe | 10:31 |
| bekks | Clever_Ideot: you advice is everything, but helpful. | 10:31 |
| [Gentoo] | Rory: it uses its own thing | 10:32 |
| Rory | matrixa1: I think that attempting to hack Compiz into xfce probably isn't worth the hassle | 10:32 |
| newworldorder | [Gentoo], no | 10:32 |
| matrixa1 | Rory, that said I have Compiz running, I just want the snow plugin | 10:32 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: no not really, Because I am not able to boot on this drive. So tried to dd the raw device but it is even worst .. | 10:32 |
| Rory | matrixa1: Oh OK, well maybe you could find the plugin source and compile it? | 10:32 |
| Clever_Ideot | why don't php5 pachages install | 10:32 |
| [Gentoo] | matrixa1: maybe you could use a snowy video as desktop background with something like mplayer | 10:32 |
| Rory | matrixa1: from here http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Snow | 10:32 |
| Clever_Ideot | I'm completely stumped on this one | 10:33 |
| matrixa1 | [Gentoo], Rory Thank you, both are good alternatives | 10:33 |
| matrixa1 | Merry Christmas! | 10:33 |
| newworldorder | Is there a good tool for optimization of ubuntu and clean up? | 10:33 |
| bekks | Clever_Ideot: They give you an error message. | 10:33 |
| Clever_Ideot | yes | 10:33 |
| bekks | newworldorder: Those "tools" are not needed in Linux. | 10:33 |
| lotuspsychje | !info xsnow | matrixa1 | 10:33 |
| ubottu | matrixa1: xsnow (source: xsnow): brings Christmas to your desktop. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:1.42-9 (saucy), package size 33 kB, installed size 149 kB | 10:33 |
| [Gentoo] | newworldorder: i guess you come from windows + ccleaner? | 10:33 |
| newworldorder | [Gentoo], no | 10:33 |
| Clever_Ideot | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6628442/ | 10:34 |
| [Gentoo] | newworldorder: i wouldnt trust anything like that ccleaner alternative (cant remember what its called) | 10:34 |
| newworldorder | just don`t want to spend christmas fixing Ubuntu systems | 10:34 |
| [Gentoo] | newworldorder: you dont want some automated tool touching things | 10:34 |
| bekks | newworldorder: Then dont do it? No one forcees you to. | 10:34 |
| [Gentoo] | newworldorder: what things do you want to "clean"? | 10:34 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: I guess i should try to dd with option -b=512 to ensure sector size is 512 bytes ? | 10:34 |
| [Gentoo] | look in home and /etc dir for leftover junk from uninstalled programs | 10:34 |
| [Gentoo] | that wont optimize naything though | 10:34 |
| newworldorder | log files | 10:35 |
| Clever_Ideot | so were supposed to come back after christmas break to bugs ?? | 10:35 |
| bekks | Clever_Ideot: Thats a changelog, not an error message. | 10:35 |
| newworldorder | No logging is currently active and I want to find out why. | 10:35 |
| MonkeyDust | newworldorder I use two custom scripts, but you'll have to trust me for it | 10:35 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: Did you try removing that package? | 10:35 |
| bekks | newworldorder: Because it is disabled. | 10:35 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: sudo apt-get remove apt-listchanges | 10:35 |
| newworldorder | I am trying to find out how to enable it. | 10:35 |
| Clever_Ideot | what are listchanges | 10:36 |
| newworldorder | http://askubuntu.com/questions/51265/where-is-var-log-messages | 10:36 |
| bekks | newworldorder: The file name changed and you have to configure syslog to log even more. | 10:37 |
| Clever_Ideot | I just saw a shooting star and I thought it was a missle | 10:37 |
| [Gentoo] | Clever_Ideot: you are out of your face | 10:37 |
| [Gentoo] | but it is christmas | 10:37 |
| Clever_Ideot | wow | 10:37 |
| Clever_Ideot | I've never been told that | 10:38 |
| Clever_Ideot | thank u | 10:38 |
| [Gentoo] | yw | 10:38 |
| ArunC | it was the proxy setting.. i added an exception and it worked. | 10:38 |
| slax0r | hi, anyone done dualboot with windoze 7 and ubuntu? | 10:38 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: Are you drunk? | 10:38 |
| MonkeyDust | gster i'm not familiar enough with dd, i'm no help | 10:38 |
| andyfied | not since 2009 | 10:38 |
| Clever_Ideot | no, I don't drink | 10:38 |
| newworldorder | What does this mean (an entry from syslog): Dec 24 11:17:49 whoopsie[1074]: last message repeated 13 times | 10:39 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot:can you just try running this: sudo apt-get remove apt-listchanges | 10:39 |
| Rienzilla | newworldorder: well ehm, that the last message from that process repeated 13 times? | 10:39 |
| bekks | Rienzilla: Thats too obvious ;) | 10:39 |
| Rienzilla | it's a way of saving logfile space | 10:39 |
| Clever_Ideot | okay | 10:40 |
| Rienzilla | instead of printing it 100 times it just says 'it repeated 100 times) | 10:40 |
| [Gentoo] | well its to stop spam in the logs | 10:40 |
| [Gentoo] | mostly | 10:40 |
| Clever_Ideot | well now the upgrades are taking place, one second please would u kind sir .. | 10:40 |
| KI7MT | newworldorder: have a look at the ownership of /var/log/syslog ... is it syslog.adm ? | 10:40 |
| gordonjcp | whoopsie is a horrible name, I didn't think Ubuntu was so deliberately homophobic | 10:40 |
| newworldorder | KI7MT, yes | 10:42 |
| Clever_Ideot | u ever get the feelin someone's watchin u .. | 10:42 |
| Rory | lmao gordonjcp | 10:42 |
| [Gentoo] | what does whoopsie mean in the logs | 10:43 |
| gster | MonkeyDust: Ok np. Thanks a lot | 10:43 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: All the time man. It's called Mescaline. It's the only way to fly | 10:43 |
| Clever_Ideot | it means ur system made a poopoo | 10:43 |
| [Gentoo] | o dear | 10:43 |
| newworldorder | Is there a ways to create an KDE based Ubuntu stick for installation from Gnome environment? | 10:43 |
| Clever_Ideot | what's mescalin | 10:43 |
| vmuser | is it possible to resize ext4 partitions on the fly | 10:43 |
| [Gentoo] | Clever_Ideot: i think the system needs to go on the naughty step | 10:43 |
| Rory | Clever_Ideot: It was a Matrix quote... nvm, offtopic. | 10:43 |
| bekks | Clever_Ideot: Could you please stop your unhelpful comments? | 10:43 |
| vmuser | seems like I've run somehow on space on / | 10:44 |
| Rory | vmuser: Not on the fly, but you can boot from a LiveUSB and sort it out from there | 10:44 |
| Clever_Ideot | how deep does the rabbit hole go?? | 10:44 |
| bekks | [Gentoo]: hostname[pid]: messagetext | 10:44 |
| vmuser | Rory, damn, I really don't want to take the machine offline | 10:44 |
| [Gentoo] | vmuser: you have to | 10:44 |
| [Gentoo] | to resize | 10:44 |

| bekks | vmuser: Clean up space more likely :) | 10:45 |
| newworldorder | Is it possible to create an Kubuntu live stick from an Ubuntu system? | 10:45 |
| bekks | newworldorder: Sure. | 10:46 |
| Clever_Ideot | yes sir | 10:46 |
| Clever_Ideot | sorry sir | 10:46 |
| Rory | newworldorder: Absolutely, you can use the Startup disk creator that's included | 10:46 |
| bekks | newworldorder: just use unetbootin, e.g. | 10:46 |
| KI7MT | newworldorder: you chek it's running with:initctl status rsyslog .. and sent a test msg with: logger -i -t TEST -p daemon.info "Test message" | 10:46 |
| newworldorder | Rory, and simply use the image from Kubuntu.org? | 10:46 |
| Rory | newworldorder: precisely | 10:46 |
| Clever_Ideot | ok, changelogs removed | 10:47 |
| vmuser | Rory, sure | 10:47 |
| vmuser | bekks, yea I wonder where does 40 GBs are | 10:47 |
| vmuser | since this is the size of the root | 10:48 |
| Rory | vmuser: You can use the (included) Disk Usage Analyser | 10:48 |
| matrixa1 | lotuspsychje, have you tried xsnow? It looks terrible | 10:48 |
| Clever_Ideot | wow, it worked | 10:48 |
| bekks | vmuser: Then investigate it.start with: du -hx --max-depth=1 / | 10:48 |
| Clever_Ideot | thanks fellow grammers | 10:48 |
| Rory | No problem, glad I could help :) | 10:48 |
| lotuspsychje | matrixa1: no, didnt test myself mate | 10:48 |
| lotuspsychje | matrixa1: found another old thread about that addon: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/11/script-to-install-incredible-compiz.html | 10:49 |
| lotuspsychje | matrixa1: not sure if its still active | 10:49 |
| matrixa1 | lotuspsychje, thanks, I'm currently compiling from source, it looks like this fyi http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=aHaNDZk4NOg#t=15 | 10:49 |
| matrixa1 | if I get it working, I'll share :) | 10:50 |
| lotuspsychje | matrixa1: wow that looks decent eyecandy mate | 10:50 |
| MonkeyDust | for screencasts, not for production machines | 10:51 |
| vmuser | didn't think that it was possible to eat up 14gb in /var/lib | 10:54 |
| Rory | vmuser: is it /var/lib/apt ? | 10:55 |
| Rory | oh no that's /var/cache/apt, ignore me | 10:55 |
| Rory | vmuser: You can keep drilling down til you find the culprit folder | 10:55 |
| lotuspsychje | firefox cache can eat lot aswell | 10:56 |
| vmuser | Rory, nope vmware | 10:57 |
| vmuser | wtf | 10:57 |

| aliendough | "E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/" | 10:58 |
| Rory | aliendough: There is the answer | 10:58 |
| aliendough | i have no idea how to change it | 10:58 |
| Clever_Ideot | partitions | 10:58 |
| aliendough | or fix it i mean | 10:58 |
| Rory | aliendough: I can see that you are using 100% of your tiny tiny hard drive | 10:58 |
| Rory | aliendough: Is it a super-cheap low-end VPS? | 10:58 |
| aliendough | i have a 35gig HDD space | 10:58 |
| aliendough | it was cheap, Rory | 10:58 |
| Rory | aliendough: Not according to df -h | 10:58 |
| bekks | aliendough: clean up old archives from /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 10:58 |
| aliendough | but i dont understand it too m uch to be honest | 10:58 |
| KI7MT | vmuser: nice little cmd fer checking things, change /vat/* to what ya need: sudo du -hsx /var/* | sort -n -r | head -n 10 .. | 10:58 |
| r0ber | buenas | 10:59 |
| Clever_Ideot | some places try to limit the size of partitions to try and get u to upgrade | 10:59 |
| Clever_Ideot | run df -h | 10:59 |
| Rory | aliendough: df -h shows you have 997M and you're using 100% of it | 10:59 |

| aliendough | Rory: they said I have 35gig of space.... | 10:59 |
| aliendough | so they make you use 100% of a partition? | 10:59 |
| Rory | aliendough: Can you show me the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 10:59 |
| aliendough | yes, hold on please | 10:59 |
| Rory | aliendough: It's possible you have a 35 gig hard drive sitting there not mounted | 11:00 |
| Rory | aliendough: Although at this point you should probably contact your VPS provider for support | 11:00 |
| aliendough | Rory: http://pastebin.com/J4Bq6fiA | 11:01 |
| Rory | OK aliendough I can see you have a 35 gig partition but it's set up as swap! How did you set up this VPS? | 11:02 |
| Rory | aliendough: It's likely you intended to have those partitions the other way round | 11:02 |
| bekks | Rory: Thats not true. | 11:02 |
| Rory | bekks: No? | 11:02 |
| aliendough | Rory: the ChicagoVPS company did it al for me | 11:02 |
| bekks | Rory: swap is 35 times smaller than the first partition. | 11:02 |
| Rory | Oh sorry I derped | 11:02 |
| aliendough | so I need to ask them to change my partitions? | 11:03 |
| bekks | aliendough: partitions are ok, filesystem size on the firstz one isnt. | 11:03 |
| aliendough | oh | 11:03 |
| Rory | aliendough: That almost certainly isn't something you did though, it looks like it was set up wrong | 11:04 |
| aliendough | when I log in via the web interface to ChicagoVPS's website there is a "rebuild" option and I can choose things like CentOS, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu...should I try doing this? | 11:06 |
| Rory | aliendough: Be aware it will nuke your entire VPS, anything you don't have a backup of will be gone | 11:07 |
| bekks | aliendough: No. That will resetup it and you will lose all data on your VPS. | 11:07 |
| aliendough | i dont have anything on there. I paid for this service two days ago and have had nothing but problems :)) | 11:07 |
| aliendough | this is as far as ive got | 11:07 |
| bekks | aliendough: then call them and urge them to fix it. | 11:07 |
| Rory | aliendough: I thought as much. If you do that fresh rebuild of Ubuntu and then look at "df -h" hopefully you'll see a 35G partition | 11:07 |
| Clever_Ideot | I'm having mail server trouble | 11:08 |
| Clever_Ideot | could it be because of hot damn my hot damn isp?? | 11:08 |

| LinuxKilledMe | Greetings #Ubuntu. Ive just joined the adventure. I have experienced some vsync problems so i look for it in google. Its a nvidia optimus card. after installing a nvidia-* command required, each time i boot, my display is turned off. It only pop On when i press the alimentation button. So straight after, it stop. (logic). Any hints ? | 11:09 |
| LinuxKilledMe | looked* excuse my french | 11:10 |
| vool | Rory, I don't think so | 11:11 |
| vool | Rory, I mean, I haven't changed any setting, it used to work before | 11:11 |
| lotuspsychje | vool: maybe the #freenode guys might know? | 11:11 |
| === AbyssOne is now known as Abyss_One | ||
| Rory | vool: Try without a secure connection, see if that works | 11:12 |
| lotuspsychje | vool: you spelled the correct network adress of freenode? | 11:12 |
| === arsdragonfl1 is now known as arsdragonfly | ||
| vool | Rory, I am using a new wifi network. probably it is the reason? | 11:13 |
| vool | I am also talking to freenode people now | 11:13 |
| === Abyss_One is now known as Jelle1 | ||
| bekks | vool: No, wifi isnt the reason. | 11:13 |
| vool | is there a way to circumvent this problem? | 11:13 |
| bekks | Unless you have a cable - no. | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | vool: same error on freenode webchat? | 11:14 |
| bekks | vool: Is it your wifi network, or is it some public wifi? | 11:14 |
| Rory | vool: What server are you trying to connect to, and what port? Sure it's identical on chatzilla/xchat ? | 11:15 |
| Rory | vool: I'm going with proxy, make sure xchat is set to automatically detect proxy settings, or use system proxy settings | 11:15 |
| vool | lotuspsychje, I haven't tried webchat (it never worked for me) but chatzilla works, which is where I am writing now | 11:15 |
| LinuxKilledMe | or maybe could you just point me a proper place to seek help | 11:15 |
| vool | bekks, yes, it is a cafe wifi | 11:15 |
| Rory | vool: since chatzilla probably uses Firefox proxy settings | 11:15 |
| bekks | vool: Then maybe the irc ports are blocked as suggested in #freenode. you could ask the wifi owner. | 11:16 |
| Rory | Yes, Chatzilla may be a webchat in disguise, I'm not familiar with it | 11:16 |
| lotuspsychje | LinuxKilledMe: re-ask your question here (once in a while) | 11:16 |
| vool | ok, then I'll stick with chatzilla for the moment :) | 11:17 |
| Rory | vool: Can you try connecting to irc.rory.sh on port 1025 with ssl, and see if you get an authentication failed, or if you get a network unreachable? | 11:17 |
| Rory | vool: If you can connect to that, it probably means they're blocking normal irc ports 6667 etc | 11:17 |
| vool | where do I set proxies, port etc..? | 11:17 |
| Rory | vool: In xchat? Not sure | 11:17 |
| vool | on xchat | 11:17 |
| Rory | vool: Poke around the settings | 11:17 |
| LinuxKilledMe | lotuspsychje: roger | 11:18 |
| lotuspsychje | LinuxKilledMe: maybe paste also as much details, ubuntu version etc | 11:18 |
| vool | Rory, yes, I am trying to figure out where I can change settings | 11:18 |
| Rory | vool: Presumably edit -> preferences | 11:18 |
| lotuspsychje | bray90820: been able to fix that apple mouse yet? | 11:19 |
| bray90820 | i kinda gave up | 11:19 |
| lotuspsychje | bray90820: maybe re-ask in channel | 11:20 |
| bray90820 | what i need to do is find some way to run the script after the mouse connects | 11:20 |
| bray90820 | I have been asking in here for like 24 hours | 11:21 |
| lotuspsychje | bray90820: enduring pays off :p | 11:21 |
| vool | Rory, I checked there, but couldnt find. will ask xchat people | 11:21 |
| MonkeyDust | bray90820 maybe it's simply not possible | 11:21 |
| bray90820 | It should be | 11:21 |
| bray90820 | all i need to do is run a script after a bluetooth device connects | 11:22 |
| Rory | bray90820: Is this relevant? http://superuser.com/questions/305723/using-udev-rules-to-run-a-script-on-usb-insertion | 11:22 |
| bray90820 | It's a bluetooth mouse | 11:22 |
| lotuspsychje | apple magic mouse right | 11:22 |
| bray90820 | yes | 11:23 |
| bray90820 | but what really matters is that it's bluetooth | 11:23 |
| lotuspsychje | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicMouse | 11:23 |
| bray90820 | nope | 11:24 |
| MonkeyDust | bray90820 try the blueman package (bluetooth manager) | 11:24 |
| bray90820 | did | 11:24 |
| bray90820 | i mean the mouse works if i manually run the bash script every time i boot | 11:24 |
| MonkeyDust | bray90820 then automate that | 11:25 |
| bray90820 | it actually works if i don't run the script but not well | 11:25 |
| MonkeyDust | bray90820 create a custom script and put that in your startup application list | 11:26 |
| bray90820 | If i auto mount the script then i runs before the mouse is connected and fails | 11:26 |
| bray90820 | i need to click the mouse before it is connected | 11:26 |
| bray90820 | the mouse sleeps to save power | 11:26 |
| MonkeyDust | bray90820 or consider using a cable connected mouse | 11:26 |
| bray90820 | I might need to just run the script every time i boot | 11:27 |
| bray90820 | if i put it in my startup apps it does the same thing fails before i click the mouse | 11:27 |
| LinuxKilledMe | lotuspsychje: sure. sorry but im French AND new to linux. So its not easy as abc fo me. I installed succesfully KUBUNTU 13.10 on my laptop. After experiencing some graphic issues, such as vertical desynchronisations, google told me i had to configure my nvidia optimus card installation. Then I followed a tuto who required a command to be installed. Everything went fine. But at reboot, when kubuntu load my screen is shutted down | 11:30 |
| Rory | bray90820: !nomodeset | LinuxKilledMe | 11:30 |
| Rory | oops sorry bray90820 | 11:30 |
| Rory | !nomodeset | LinuxKilledMe | 11:31 |
| ubottu | LinuxKilledMe: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 11:31 |

| aleksejs_ | Hi! I have 3.5.0-43-generic 12.10 xubuntu. Problem is with torrent clients - they don't seed. I've tried Transmission, Ktorrent and qBittorrent, played with settings - nothing helps. Any ideas? | 11:42 |
| Rory | aleksejs_: That's almost certainly your ISP blocking torrent connections | 11:43 |
| aleksejs_ | Rory, everything works with uTorrent@windows | 11:43 |
| Rory | aleksejs_: OK so you should make sure you have protocol encryption enabled in your torrent clients | 11:43 |
| aleksejs_ | checked | 11:43 |
| MonkeyDust | aleksejs_ try deluge | 11:45 |
| Rory | +1 for deluge, it's the most similar to utorrent imo | 11:46 |
| aleksejs_ | thanks, I'll try | 11:47 |
| aleksejs_ | it seems that deluge doesn't know how to import existing torrent :( | 11:48 |
| Rory | aleksejs_: It can open .torrent files | 11:49 |
| Rory | aleksejs_: If you have them saved somewhere, you can set it to automatically open .torrent files in a directory | 11:49 |
| shubhamjain | You mean torrents that are in middle of progress of downloading. | 11:49 |
| Rory | aleksejs_: If they're in the middle of downloading, you will have to make sure your download directories are the same, and then make it force a re-check of each torrent's data | 11:50 |
| MonkeyDust | aleksejs_ i guess deluge knows, but you have to find out how | 11:51 |
| Turingi | so if the hard disk runs out of space that can trigger a kernel panic on boot? | 11:54 |

| hellyeah | hey | 11:54 |
| hellyeah | what was the name of firewall that ubuntu used | 11:55 |
| cfhowlett | !ufw | 11:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 11:55 |
| aleksejs_ | very strange: I've added a torrent, chosen location where downloaded files were, but then it decided to download those files again and make a copies in the same directory | 11:56 |
| aleksejs_ | guess I did something wrong | 11:56 |
| cfhowlett | aleksejs_, it didn't see the original torrent for some reason | 11:56 |
| Rory | aleksejs_: if the torrent file is /foo/bar.iso is it downloading to /foo/foo/bar.iso? | 11:57 |
| Rory | aleksejs_: Or what is it doing? Because you can't have two identically named files in the same directory | 11:57 |
| aleksejs_ | hmm | 12:00 |
| ObrienDave | aleksejs_, some torrents make their own directory where you d/l it | 12:00 |

| ObrienDave | yes sir, it does ;P | 12:20 |
| aleksejs_ | it's interesting that there's no time zone assigned to the north pole | 12:22 |
| ObrienDave | hmm, i would think they would use zulu time. i dunno | 12:24 |
| aleksejs_ | as no one is resident of north pole, and as all longitude lines arecrossed there, there's no meaning of assigning specific time zone. Also on north pole there are only one day in year. But explorers mostly use GMT time | 12:26 |

| ObrienDave | aleksejs_, yes, you see thousands of connections but only a few actual data transfers. that's normal | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | !details|efe, | 12:51 |
| ubottu | efe,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 12:51 |
| aleksejs_ | ObrienDave, not few, but only one | 12:51 |
| aleksejs_ | it's like: Seeds: 0 (1234), Peers 0(1) | 12:52 |
| aleksejs_ | pretty sure that's not possible | 12:52 |
| aleksejs_ | should be a bug with something | 12:52 |
| ObrienDave | aleksejs_, that's still possible. just because you're seeding, doesn't mean people are requesting. that's how torrent works | 12:53 |
| ObrienDave | aleksejs_, that is normal | 12:53 |
| aleksejs_ | ObrienDave, then how come that linux clients are not seeding at all for some 2 months, but everything works fine on windows? | 12:54 |
| Left_Turn | on ubuntu i tried to install virtualenv.. its missing zlib.. i tried to install pip so i can find zlib, my pip install fails it's missing setuptools. i try to install setuptools, that fails to. The i try to run distribute_setup.py this fails with so many urllib errors.. Is it really this impossible on linux? | 12:54 |
| ObrienDave | aleksejs_, the number in () are the number that have that same file as you. the first number are connections to YOUR copy. no biggie | 12:55 |
| aleksejs_ | and how could it be that seeding works fine while torrent is downloading and after download, but until I restart Deluge? | 12:55 |
| j4n6 | hey follks, is there somebody using a thinkpad with ubuntu 13.10 who knows how to further tweak the trackpoint? With other distros i get ibm/trackpoint as name and i can set it up to be a lot faster. Ubuntu only offers me "mouse" and not that high speed. Merry Xmas | 12:55 |
| efe | ok. I have problom with my login background. I use xubuntu 13.10. When the login page comes up, my xfce blue background do not show up, instead, a white and snowy-like image comes. When I change the user combobox to 'Other', the blue background shows up, then, when i change to my own username, the blue background is still there. In all Words, when i change the selected value of username combobox, the problem is solved. | 12:56 |
| aleksejs_ | and also, there is a bug assigned specifically to Ktorrent but not solved yet, and there are reports about the same behaviour with other clients | 12:56 |
| aleksejs_ | I'm 110% sure this is not a normal behaviour | 12:57 |

| efe | chithira : since u dont wanna keep windows boot along side with your ubuntu boot(dual boot), the easiest solution is to insert windows dvd, go to partioion manager, delete the boot partition of windows (and create free unallocated space for linux if u dont have), Then install ubuntu | 13:11 |
| aleksejs_ | maybe this is the reason? | 13:12 |
| ObrienDave | aleksejs_, could be | 13:12 |
| V1TSK | chithira, format one partition to ext4 and then install Ubuntu into it. | 13:12 |

| ObrienDave | aleksejs_, yes, it seems your router has something to do with it. not really sure on that one | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | chithira, doable. when you run install, select the "something else" option when you get to the partitioning stage. of course, back up all data first. | 13:14 |
| chithira | efe, dose that means I wont loose any files of other drives ? | 13:14 |

| chithira | thanx for the help guys... see you in ubuntu :) | 13:16 |
| efe | chithira, oofcourse u wont loose, boot partion is about 20Mib. If u dont need C partition, u can also delete it so that it become unallocated, then install ubuntu | 13:16 |

| Ycarene | cfhowlett - because it's not in either libgtk3-dev or libgtk2-dev | 14:34 |
| cfhowlett | Ycarene, try dpgk -l | grep gtk-config | 14:34 |

| Ycarene | cfhowlett - hmm, no gtk-config, though from a little digging it looks like gtk-config went the way of the dinosaur when gtk2 came out and it uses pkg-config. I don't think I can install this program. | 14:41 |
| chrispecoraro | actually, I can run 13.10 in virtualbox but with 4gig on the machine it's pretty slow since compiz is a memory hog | 14:42 |
| cfhowlett | chrispecoraro, lubuntu/xubuntu would be lighter | 14:42 |
| Rory | chrispecoraro: In situations like that I usually recommend Xubuntu, which is a lot lighter on graphical resources specifically | 14:42 |
| chrispecoraro | Right, i'm using lubuntu | 14:42 |
| leo_ | MonkeyDust_: i know, but we got a lot posts about my nvidia card down there | 14:42 |
| Rory | chrispecoraro: Lubuntu is good too but it's even more lightweight | 14:43 |
| chrispecoraro | xubuntu is lighter than lubuntu? | 14:43 |
| [Gentoo] | no | 14:43 |
| chrispecoraro | xfde vs lxde | 14:43 |
| cfhowlett | chrispecoraro, other way around I think | 14:43 |
| chrispecoraro | Okay | 14:43 |
| [Gentoo] | with 4gb ram though you wont notice much difference | 14:43 |
| OerHeks | lubuntu 256 mb / xubuntu 512 mb // ubuntu 1 gb | 14:43 |
| [Gentoo] | going from xfce to gnome etc is quite major | 14:43 |
| Rory | chrispecoraro: Lubuntu is more lightweight, but I imagine your main issue is graphical reosurces if you're virtualising. So either Xubuntu or Lubuntu would be good, but (IMO) XFCE is more mature | 14:44 |
| Rory | Other opinions are available | 14:44 |

| phelix | I have an item in cron. I can tell that its not running properly. as what its supposed to do doesn't actually update. But if I take the command that i have in there and copy it and paste it . It runs fine. How can I troubleshoot this? In cron if i add > file.log the only thing that populates in this log file is. "#!/usr/bin/env tail: cron.log: file truncated" but no output about what is happening | 14:56 |
| phelix | other than this goes into the log file Anyone have any ideas ? | 14:56 |

| aleksejs_ | yes | 15:07 |
| cfhowlett | trisquelgnu, sure. you'll need to set up the bootloader thought | 15:07 |
| cfhowlett | *though* | 15:07 |
| MonkeyDust_ | trisquelgnu technically yes, but windows will ruin the grub | 15:08 |
| aleksejs_ | but if you have an UEFI then it's better to intall win8 | 15:08 |

| MonkeyDust_ | trisquelgnu sure, see what ubottu says, but it's a pain, you'll get frustrated and think ubuntu is no good | 15:08 |
| cfhowlett | MonkeyDust_, ^^^ until the first time you actual get the fix and find it so simple a caveman could do it ... | 15:09 |
| aleksejs_ | you will need to modify windows bootloader later to be able to boot from ubuntu. Or even easier way is to restore grub from livecd/usb | 15:09 |

| yto | harushimo: ok . but is this true? | 16:27 |
| PatrickDickey | newatit, assuming you only install programs from the official repositories (not third party locations), you can be fairly confident that they're legit. There are programs that you can install to verfiy the files later, but I'm not sure if they verifiy them originally or not. | 16:28 |
| dipak | newatit: or try synaptic package manager to search the files | 16:28 |

| Unovy | glitsj16: I'm currently using ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x64) | 16:30 |
| PatrickDickey | newatit, if you're comfortable with the command line, you can try sudo apt-get remove netpanzer or sudo apt-get purge netpanzer. If it's installed, then that *should* remove it (purge will remove all configuration files and anything associated with it). | 16:30 |
| Rory | newatit: Could you tell us what files have aroused your suspicion? It's possible it was somehow installed by mistake; what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 16:31 |
| Rory | newatit: It's not really that simple to say whether a file is "legit" or not | 16:31 |
| harushimo | yto: I did a few computers and laptop before. That may solve the shutdown problem | 16:33 |
| harushimo | yto: I seriously think the laptop is not completely restarting | 16:33 |

| PatrickDickey | Newatit, that means that they were installed as part of other updates/package installations, but were left when you removed those other updates/packages. | 16:35 |

| newatit | is it possible that its from windows? | 16:36 |
| dipak | newatit: no | 16:36 |
| glitsj16 | Unovy: sorry, had a phone call .. what you could try is seeing if there's a more recent version of grub-customizer, what version do you use right now? apt-cache policy grub-customizer will show you .. | 16:36 |
| PatrickDickey | newatit, nope. Windows doesn't "see" the linux drives, and linux won't install windows programs unless you use WiNE. It's just a normal thing through upgrades. | 16:37 |
| Rory | newatit: Those packages are on my Ubuntu system too, they're to do with the email client, and a couple of other things. It's safe to remove them if you like, with the command "sudo apt-get autoremove" but they don't do any harm by being there | 16:37 |
| Unovy | glitsj16: That's okay. It's saying that I've installed the "4.0.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1p" version | 16:38 |
| newatit | i dont have windows anymore.. when i tried to reformat windows it didnt clean the drive properly so.. i installed ubuntu using a USB i made with an infected windows.. | 16:39 |
| PatrickDickey | newatit, did Ubuntu format the drive as part of its installation? | 16:39 |
| newatit | yes.. | 16:40 |
| JoeyJoeJo | I ran 'update-rc.d drbd defaults' to make drbd start on boot, but when I rebooted, drbd wasn't started. How can I fix that? Is there another command I should be running to make things start at boot? | 16:40 |
| === Guest15823 is now known as lili-nya | ||
| newatit | but is it possible that the Ubuntu USB installer i made from windows is infected? | 16:41 |
| PatrickDickey | newatit, unless you install Something like Wine (a program that allows you to run Windows programs), then windows files (.exe, .bat, .dll, etc) won't run. | 16:41 |
| PatrickDickey | So, newatit, even if the USB was infected, the virus wouldn't have any effect at all. | 16:41 |
| Rory | One of the primary reasons I use Linux actually :3 | 16:41 |
| Unovy | glitsj16: I've checked in launchpad.net that there is 5 different packages avaliable. https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/grub-customizer/+packages | 16:42 |
| glitsj16 | Unovy: that looks like the most recent version available .. so that plan is gone hehe, i'm afraid that i don't have anything more usefull .. best shot you have is contacting the maintainer of the PPA through launchpad and adding your error info | 16:42 |
| Unovy | glitsj16: Is there a possibility I've installed the wrong one? | 16:43 |
| glitsj16 | Unovy: yeah, those are for different versions of ubuntu | 16:43 |
| glitsj16 | Unovy: it's unlikely, if you added the PPA through the regular procedure it should only offer you the package for precise (12.04) .. | 16:44 |
| pyrobisqit | hello, I'm having problems with the free AMD drivers, as they cause corruption and I'm unable to install Ubuntu | 16:45 |
| pyrobisqit | is there a way to install ubuntu in text-mode? I think there was an alternate CD somewhere? I can't find it | 16:45 |
| Unovy | glitsj16: Oh... I see. I'll try to find a way to contact the maintainer about this issue | 16:46 |
| newatit | how come i see similar configurations that the virus did to my windows? | 16:48 |
| PatrickDickey | pyrobisqit You might be able to use Ubuntu-server for that. That's how I had to install ubuntu on this laptop. | 16:48 |
| PatrickDickey | newatit, what do you mean by similar configurations? | 16:48 |
| glitsj16 | Unovy: https://launchpad.net/grub-customizer has a link in the right column to report bugs, you might need to make a launchpad account to use that facility, add your ubuntu version and the error like you pasted here before | 16:48 |
| pyrobisqit | PatrickDickey: Unfortunately, Ubuntu-server lacks USB drivers I need for keyboard, so that's no good, I don't have any PS/"2 keyboards anymore | 16:49 |
| pyrobisqit | maybe I can install Lubuntu, but it's unbelievable that there's no way to install Ubuntu without 3D acceleration anymore | 16:49 |
| gmachine_24 | greetings. I use rsync to back up my music drive; however, everyone so often the back up drive ... well, I don't know what happens but folders disappear and the drive goes into a "read only" mode; supposedly root has rw access but even as root I can't change anything. this has happened several times over the years and the only solution is a reboot. I'm going to run an e2fsck on the drive but... | 16:49 |
| gmachine_24 | ...can anyone explain this? thanks. | 16:50 |
| newatit | like changing the update settings.. and adding trust certificates | 16:50 |
| PatrickDickey | pyrobisqit you could try a net install disc then. If you have to install an older version, you can always upgrade to the version you want. | 16:50 |
| newatit | installing and copying files.. and changing my settings | 16:50 |
| pyrobisqit | PatrickDickey: Nope. Net install disc doesn't have UEFI key to boot in secure mode. I don't want to install using a MBR style partitioning scheme | 16:50 |
| pyrobisqit | I would have to boot it in BIOS mode apparenttly | 16:51 |
| PatrickDickey | Newatit, I would say it depends on what settings and certificates are being changed. WIndows update does those things also, to an extent. But the important thing is Windows viruses won't work on Linux, and there are very few Linux viruses in the wild. | 16:51 |
| PatrickDickey | pyrobisqit disable secure boot. Then you can reenable it after you install, if you want. | 16:52 |
| pyrobisqit | I guess I'll just go with Lubuntu and then install ubuntu-desktop | 16:52 |
| Unovy | glitsj16: Okay, I'll create an account to report this bug | 16:52 |
| xaier | Merry Christmas! | 16:52 |
| pyrobisqit | PatrickDickey: It's not just secure boot keys, the net install system will actually be installed in BIOS mode, thus no GPT and many other UEFI features | 16:53 |
| pyrobisqit | the system would be running in BIOS legacy mode | 16:53 |
| glitsj16 | Unovy: best of luck, at least you can get into your system manually .. | 16:53 |
| aditya | hello | 16:54 |
| gmachine_24 | there is a swap file on a drive I use to store music - nothing else. do I need a swap file on this drive> | 16:54 |
| Unovy | glitsj16: Yes, that's what I was thinking of | 16:54 |
| gmachine_24 | ? | 16:54 |
| newatit | it redirects me to sites and tracks my surfing activities.. it even logs my local activities | 16:54 |
| ceq | I'm currently installing ubuntu on my dads xp-home machine. I did so via wubi. Since xp wont be updated in april, is it safe to work on ubuntu this way? | 16:54 |
| Unovy | glitsj16: But how do I access the list of options that grub menu shows when my machine boots up? | 16:54 |
| PatrickDickey | gmachine_24 I think you're confusing swap file with something else. in Linux, a swap file is like the virtual memory in Windows. It uses a portion of your drive space as "memory". | 16:55 |
| newatit | how do i get rid of these things? | 16:55 |
| glitsj16 | Unovy: you will need to hit the left shift or esc key just after your bios splash to show the regular grub menu | 16:56 |
| PatrickDickey | pyrobisqit If you boot the netinstall disc in UEFI mode, it should install in UEFI mode. If not, you can use BootRepair to fix that later. | 16:56 |
| PatrickDickey | newatit, what does all of these things? And when you say it redirects you to sites, do you mean it directs you to another site when you go to say amazon.com, or does it redirect you to a search page? | 16:57 |
| Unovy | glitsj16: Hm... Doing that, it'll give me the option to reorder the list? | 16:57 |
| ceq | was that a stupid question? i'm having trouble understanding the core difference between a wubi install and a normal, parallel install next to windows - any help? | 16:58 |

| phunyguy | hey what is the difference between the -p and -d options with do-release-upgrade? | 16:58 |
| gmachine_24 | PatrickDickey: I know what a swap file is. but I'm looking at the drive and a swap file is listed ... taking up 6gb more or less..... which makes no sense to me | 16:58 |
| phunyguy | gmachine_24, because swap is a partition, not a file. | 16:59 |
| newatit | im having areally had time explning things sorry | 16:59 |
| PatrickDickey | !wubi | ceq try this. | 16:59 |
| ubottu | ceq try this.: Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information. File wubi bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug | 16:59 |
| gmachine_24 | phunyguy: OK, I meant partition. Alright? Anyway, it's there and I don't know why. | 16:59 |
| phunyguy | gmachine_24, since it is a partition, that space is considered used. | 16:59 |
| imghost | yto, which make and model? | 17:00 |
| PatrickDickey | gmachine_24 how much memory do you have in the computer/ | 17:00 |
| ceq | ubottu: but is it safe to use ubuntu this way adter april, when xp doesnt get updated anymore? | 17:00 |

| danny4way | I have an error with linux-header-3.8.0-31-generic | 17:01 |
| glitsj16 | Unovy: no, to do that you will need to edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file manually, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg .. just make sure you don't mess up the syntax .. in fact, do a sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.bak before editing, so you have a backup | 17:01 |
| danny4way | it says there's no installation candidate. | 17:01 |
| danny4way | I need that or i can't process what i am doing. | 17:01 |
| MonkeyDust_ | ceq even if you should delete xp, you can still use ubuntu, they are independent from each other | 17:02 |
| ceq | ok sweet. so wubi is just an installation interface? | 17:02 |

| gmachine_24 | I don't seem to be able to make my point. I have Ubuntu and Debian and Windows on one drive. There are two swap files on this drive. I have two OTHER hard drives to store/back up my music. This is all they do. Yet, one has a 6GB swap file and other partitions which make no sense to me. So, never mind. II don't need a swap on that drive. Thanks anyway. | 17:09 |
| MonkeyDust_ | ceq wubi is nice is nice to make yourself familiar with the ubuntu interface, but not a real installation | 17:09 |
| MonkeyDust_ | typo* | 17:09 |

| Rory | danny4way: Open the software center, search for "virtualbox", click Install | 17:45 |
| MonkeyDust_ | danny4way what were you trying? | 17:45 |
| newatit | when i typed this apt-get autoremove.. this appeared " Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission denied)" and this one " Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?" | 17:45 |
| Rory | There's no messing around with Grub involved | 17:45 |
| danny4way | Because when i googled it, it says I have to first | 17:45 |
| danny4way | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 17:45 |
| danny4way | then | 17:45 |
| xangua | danny4way: saucy has no 3.8 kernel | 17:45 |
| danny4way | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 17:45 |

| xmetal | anyway it seemed some of the "dependencies" (where cause of a bad install or someone didn't mark them as depend... ) for Unity in my Mint 16 were not marked to be installed | 17:46 |
| xangua | newatit: sudo apt-get autoremove | 17:46 |
| Rory | danny4way: Before you go searching random internet sites it's best to look in the software center, it's what it's there for | 17:46 |
| MonkeyDust_ | danny4way alwayf first look if it's in the repos (software center) | 17:46 |

| danny4way | I am not sure why. But it's what they say. | 17:47 |
| ceq | dipak: keyboard is ps2 - mouse can do both. usb legacy is enalbed. currentlz plugged vis usb | 17:48 |
| danny4way | And after that I have to get extension package. | 17:48 |
| Rory | danny4way: You don't have to. use apt-get or the Software Center and it will get dependencies for you | 17:48 |
| ceq | *currently | 17:48 |
| Rory | danny4way: You can get the extension package by clicking a button in Virtualbox once it's instaled. it even prompts you to do it | 17:48 |
| LongH | http://www.coindesk.com/2013-bitcoin-trading-volume-winners-losers/ | 17:48 |

| ryan_turner|MTW | I used qemu-img resize +20GB on a .img, and virt-manager shows that image as now being +20GB over the original size, but in the VM I can't figure out how to expand the partition. The guest is ubuntu 12.04 server and I have it installed with LVM. On the guest, vgdisplay shows the VG size as still the old size (19.76 GiB), and when I tried to lvresize -L +20G but it said there was space. So, what am I missing here? I thought this was su | 18:26 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | pposed to be as simple as making hte .img bigger on the host and then using lvresize on the vg to bump the size up of the drive (accessing it by booting the VM up with knoppix) | 18:26 |

| PatrickDickey | newatit: The easiest way is to ask questions about what exactly is going on. If you don't know, it might not be a bug, or at least it won't be anything we can help fix. | 18:45 |

| XATRIX | root@vox2-clu-ua:~# service glusterfs-server stop | 19:39 |
| XATRIX | stop: Unknown instance: | 19:39 |
| XATRIX | What do i do wrong ? | 19:40 |

| XATRIX | stop: Unknown instance: | 19:40 |
| XATRIX | networking stop/waiting | 19:40 |
| SaberX01 | XATRIX, you need to use sudo ... sudo service networking restart | 19:41 |
| XATRIX | i'm currently under root account | 19:41 |
| SaberX01 | why are you using root ? | 19:41 |
| SaberX01 | that can cause all kinds of problems. | 19:41 |
| XATRIX | I setup server as a root, and later i'm gonna use it as user ? | 19:42 |
| SaberX01 | No, you dont use root at all on a ubuntu server. | 19:42 |
| SaberX01 | you use sudo .. | 19:43 |
| XATRIX | Hm.. ok | 19:43 |
| XATRIX | xatrix@vox2-clu-ua:~$ sudo service glusterfs-server start | 19:43 |
| XATRIX | glusterfs-server start/running, process 2321 | 19:43 |
| SaberX01 | the root account does not even have a password, you ahve to give it one to use the account, but should not do so. | 19:43 |
| XATRIX | xatrix@vox2-clu-ua:~$ sudo ps axu | grep gluster | 19:43 |

| XATRIX | Nothing extra | 19:43 |
| SaberX01 | At this point, there's no telling what's gone wrong if you been using the root account, you probably better off reinstallign and settign things up the right way. | 19:44 |
| XATRIX | xatrix@vox2-clu-ua:~$ sudo service networking restart | 19:45 |

| SaberX01 | Yeah, you used the root account. | 19:46 |
| XATRIX | So, how can i fix it ? | 19:46 |
| SaberX01 | reinstall it. | 19:46 |
| XATRIX | You gotta be kidding | 19:46 |
| SaberX01 | I've done 100's of server installs, I don't think I ever had to use the root account for anything. | 19:47 |
| XATRIX | SaberX01: yes, but i'm new to Ubuntu servers | 19:48 |
| XATRIX | before it i used Centos, and never had problems with doing things under root | 19:48 |
| SaberX01 | And your learning :-) .. | 19:48 |
| SaberX01 | I know, I use CentOS 5 / 6 .. and there, yes, root account, but not on a Ubuntu server. | 19:48 |
| XATRIX | Hell | 19:49 |
| XATRIX | How can i fix it without reinstall | 19:49 |
| XATRIX | It's not good to reinstall linux | 19:49 |
| SaberX01 | Read this and the server guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:49 |

| SaberX01 | XATRIX, That's my recommendation, you can't fight it if you wish, but a little reading ahead of time would have saved you allot of trouble. | 19:52 |
| brownfox | dumb question but i just cant remember. How do I drop out of the gui and operate only in terminal in ubuntu? is it like killall xstart or something? | 19:52 |
| brownfox | or i should have said startx | 19:53 |

| SaberX01 | CTRL+Alt+F1 | 19:53 |
| brownfox | @SaberX01 cheers | 19:54 |
| XATRIX | SaberX01: So there's no way to fix my system ? | 19:54 |
| SaberX01 | XATRIX, I'm sure there's a way to fix it, but I don't know how, nor would I want to re-permission the whole system. | 19:55 |
| XATRIX | I didn't change any permissions | 19:55 |

| SaberX01 | levo, in addition to thats listed Foxit, Chrome, Xpdf, Apvlv, Zathura, MuPDF, Quick Poll .. just for a few more. | 20:17 |
| Reynaldo_Jose | anyone here using ubuntu touch on nexus 4? | 20:17 |
| Beldar | levo, commenting out is the tough one linux pdf apps are just not up far some tasks that you can get for windows. okular has some use, not sure relevant. | 20:17 |
| levo | SaberX01,Beldar : im using evince and it works fine, but i need to comment and highlight things | 20:18 |
| Beldar | !touch | Reynaldo_Jose | 20:18 |
| ubottu | Reynaldo_Jose: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 20:18 |
| Reynaldo_Jose | thanks Beldar | 20:18 |
| yaraju | I've asked on #pulseaudio but they suggested my problem was more specific to #ubuntu | 20:19 |
| Beldar | levo, About a year ago I went through most of what linux offers and was surprised at the limitations of what I found, depends on your need I suppose, commenting out is a tough one I think, if I understand it's meaning. | 20:20 |
| Beldar | IE editing a pdf | 20:20 |
| levo | beldar: not editing, just leaving comments | 20:20 |
| SaberX01 | levo, Okular for KDE or Acrobat probably the most widely used in that fashion, e.g. Comment & Highlighting. | 20:20 |
| Beldar | levo, okular works for that I believe pretty well. | 20:21 |
| levo | saberx01: okular is not lightweight | 20:21 |
| levo | in comparison to evince | 20:21 |
| Beldar | levo, gotta take what you get in a system at times. ;) | 20:21 |
| SaberX01 | levo, agreed, .. but it does the job well. | 20:21 |
| levo | SaberX01: could there be some add-ons for evince that do those things/ | 20:22 |
| Beldar | that heavy chocolate cake is heavy, but tastes so good. ;) | 20:22 |
| levo | ? | 20:22 |
| SaberX01 | levo, there may be add-ons / plugins,Iv'e only used Evince briefly. | 20:23 |
| levo | SaberX01: thanks, i'm googling | 20:24 |
| alket | How do i remove asking for keyring in Ubuntu, its driving me crazy, thank you | 20:24 |
| SaberX01 | alket, when are you referring too, login, after screen saver when ? | 20:26 |
| Beldar | alket, When and where is this happening, and did you add a key to it? | 20:26 |
| alket | SaberX01: when I connect to wireless, opening google chrome etc. | 20:26 |
| alket | Beldar: when I connect to wireless, opening google chrome etc. | 20:27 |
| alket | Beldar: No i didn't | 20:27 |
| alket | Beldar: I don't want too, I just don't need it. Is it possible to remove it completly ? | 20:28 |
| Beldar | alket, the wifi should be a auto link, did you tick that in its preferences, chrome is strange have you run it as root or are using the terminal to launch? | 20:28 |
| alket | Beldar: no, I just click on launcher, it shows on startup too | 20:28 |
| Beldar | alket, If you mean remove the password we don;t support that here. | 20:28 |
| alket | Beldar: to remove keyring application | 20:29 |
| Beldar | alket, I'm not sure if keyring is what the syntax is, a password for the wifi yours or the one for the router is common. | 20:29 |
| dluzius | how to create new folder in U 13.10 | 20:30 |
| SaberX01 | Beldar, keyring is right, unless the interface is enabled for all users, then the keyring will not appear, but the WLAN PW (if used) will still prompt the user. | 20:31 |
| Beldar | dluzius, right click make new folder | 20:31 |
| Beldar | SaberX01, I'm not sure in their description that is a clear scenario however. | 20:31 |
| SaberX01 | dluzius, in term .. mkdir ./dir-name or in file manager, right click, new folder | 20:31 |
| alket | I have to click cancel many times to use the desktop | 20:32 |
| alket | when it was gnome 2 I knew how to remove it, but in unity I cant | 20:32 |
| SaberX01 | Beldar, he jsut said wireless, chrome whatever, I've never seen the keyring for chrome, so have no idea what tha's about. | 20:32 |
| bekks | alket: andwahts the content of the message boxes you cancel? | 20:33 |
| Beldar | SaberX01, exactly | 20:33 |
| alket | SaberX01: do you know how to disable/remove it | 20:33 |
| SaberX01 | alket, how to remove the keyring, yes, but I dont talk about security work-around's here in the channel | 20:33 |
| SaberX01 | Nor in PM's | 20:34 |
| alket | SaberX01: what the name of application, because when I type in dashboard it only show "Password and Keys" | 20:34 |
| bekks | alket: you better fix the cause of the messages. | 20:34 |
| SaberX01 | what he said ^^ ^^ | 20:35 |
| alket | bekks: how to fix the cause at the login, just as I login it shows as crazy, moments before I just opened filezilla and I thought its not going to end | 20:36 |
| bekks | alket: and whats the content of the message boxes you cancel? | 20:36 |
| alket | bekks: Don't remember, Im going to restart the computer and read it and post it here. Thank you very much to all | 20:37 |
| bekks | alket: without the exact error no one in here can help you. | 20:37 |
| bekks | -.- | 20:37 |

| alket_ | Beldar: no , it is fresh install | 20:50 |
| Beldar | alket_, problem with that image is you include no context. | 20:50 |
| alket_ | Beldar: I dont understand what do you mean by context | 20:51 |
| Beldar | alket_, Have you done any tweaks as of now to remove this problem? context means why and when are you seeing that login popup | 20:52 |
| Beldar | alket_, I have the feeling you have been tweaking and left this info out. | 20:53 |

| donvito | that is in april 2014 right | 21:00 |
| ikonia | donvito: correct | 21:00 |
| Error404NotFound | ikonia: that include line as is? may be because i came up with that on my own and couldn't find it in documentation, not in man pages of cron, crontab. | 21:00 |
| donvito | thanks | 21:00 |

| SaberX01 | Test == Sate | 21:43 |
| Rory | Apollo: We see you | 21:43 |
| demon^eye | i install Ubuntu and all fine... after that i add my OLD sata hd and at boot ... ubuntu says /tmp is missing... and the my "old" hd wont show in Ubuntu | 21:43 |
| Rory | demon^eye: Can you boot into Ubuntu currently? | 21:44 |
| demon^eye | yes | 21:44 |
| demon^eye | but i cant see the HD | 21:44 |
| Beldar | demon^eye, Make sure the boot is on the new ubuntu hd in the bios. | 21:44 |
| demon^eye | first boot all went fine ( /tmp erroe was shown) after sec restart happen what i told ya , no "old " hd in ubuntu | 21:44 |
| Beldar | demon^eye, Did you change the HD type in the bios from sata to another? | 21:45 |
| demon^eye | the Hd i add is ok in bios...i just do sec restart and Gubru menu popup | 21:45 |
| demon^eye | i didnt touch the bios , sec restart doest list my hd after booting ih the OS | 21:46 |
| demon^eye | in the first it did (/tmp msg) | 21:46 |
| demon^eye | i think it coz installing new hd (my old one) the drivers letters moved and Ubuntu doest find the swap partion in its old location | 21:47 |
| Beldar | demon^eye, Are you sure your booting the new ubuntu, was the first HD failing? | 21:47 |
| Beldar | demon^eye, If you run sudo fdisk -l in the new ubuntu does the old HD show? | 21:48 |
| demon^eye | ti install it like i said on one partition (1 hd ) after installing and configure i add a sec hd (2 hd sata) and the /tmp error popup at boot | 21:49 |
| demon^eye | but OS loaded | 21:49 |
| demon^eye | sec restart my 2 hd wont show anymore IN UNBUNTU only... | 21:49 |

| JohnnyL | Beldar: do you think that'll do it? | 22:32 |
| Beldar | JohnnyL, I would run purge then make sure the .mozilla file is gone and anything in .config | 22:33 |

| Beldar | harris1, You would want the touch helpers right? | 22:35 |
| harris1 | Yea? | 22:35 |
| DJRWolf | Beldar I added it to Ubuntu since I liked it more then Unity or LXDE | 22:35 |
| Cooperz | Start Run CMD opens a command line. I type it there | 22:36 |
| kostkon | harris1, you mean in the spreadsheet? | 22:36 |
| harris1 | Yes | 22:36 |
| Beldar | harris1, This is not the touch channel, you have to have some patience on that channel like all of them, it is a night before a holiday. | 22:36 |
| kostkon | harris1, it explains why | 22:36 |
| DJRWolf | is there a command I can use to manually get the gui back long enough to fix the problem? | 22:36 |
| harris1 | Its says due to hw errors what is thatl | 22:36 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, HOw did you add it? | 22:37 |
| JohnnyL | Beldar what is .config? is that a subdir of .mozilla? | 22:37 |

| kostkon | harris1, :) merry xmas | 22:42 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, I suspect the cinnamon for 12.04 is problematic it is in the 13.04 repos but is a problem on the 13.10 installs. If you have a autologin setup you need to get to the login to get to whatever desktop does work to tweak the cinnamon if its possible. | 22:42 |
| Cooperz | I'm kidding guys | 22:42 |
| Beldar | Cooperz, your trolling | 22:43 |
| Cooperz | Just trying to put a few smiles on some faeces | 22:43 |

| [[thufir]] | Cooperz: I'm coming in late to this, but why not just try wubi first? | 22:43 |
| Gnea | Cooperz: there'll be a smile on my face when you've successfully answered my question. | 22:43 |
| Gnea | good. ;-) | 22:44 |
| Beldar | [[thufir]], Not really a ubuntu question and possibly polling, however amazon and 1000's of websites offer downloads of albums and single songs. | 22:47 |

| nbb | Guys, I'm thinking about Ubuntu Server (13.10) for my home server. It's really nice amount of software and it's fresh. But I really like systemd and I think that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/systemd is extreamly outdated. What's current support for systemd in ubuntu? Is it a little stable and usable? | 22:51 |
| bekks | nbb: systemd is used in 14.04 - for a server, I'd always stick with 12.04 until 14.04 is being released. | 22:53 |
| Beldar | Cooperz shows us that fruitcakes are still around on the holidays. ;) | 22:53 |
| DJRWolf | Beldar is not auto login and also does not get to login | 22:54 |
| lwizardl | I have encountered a problem. My USB drive is NTFS formated I told windows to safely remove drive F (USB) and now windows says its corrupted and linux wont boot it. How can i force the drive to mount so I can atleast copy off the data then reformat | 22:55 |
| lwizardl | http://pastebin.com/hUScLmxg | 22:55 |
| DJRWolf | Beldar it goes strait to command prompt, no login screen or gui startup splash at all | 22:55 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, What was the original install? Did you remove that desktop, and do you have graphic drivers installed if needed? | 22:55 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, Was there a working desktop at some point, details are the search at this point. | 22:56 |
| DJRWolf | Beldar I did not remove unity, that is what came stock with it; it has been working for a couple of years now, it just stoped after I did the update a couple of days ago (been busy) | 22:58 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, Do you have proprietary graphics installed? | 22:58 |
| DJRWolf | Beldar nVidia (GTS 450) | 22:59 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, from nividia, or the repos? | 22:59 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, may be a simple as a graphic driver problem, are you familiar with using nomodeset to boot? | 23:00 |
| daftykins | lwizardl: you might want to use Windows to fix it | 23:00 |
| DJRWolf | Beldar I did the one from "Restricted drivers" | 23:00 |
| lwizardl | daftykins: tried that it just wants to format it | 23:01 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset | DJRWolf I would try this and a text boot id needed | 23:01 |
| ubottu | DJRWolf I would try this and a text boot id needed: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:01 |
| Beldar | if* | 23:01 |
| DJRWolf | Beldar still in the shalow "gui" end of the Linux pool | 23:01 |
| daftykins | lwizardl: if that paste of yours includes the ntfsfix output, it looks like you're out of luck | 23:02 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, I have always had intel so never a graphic problem here. | 23:02 |
| JohnnyL | wow that didn't help at all. | 23:02 |
| lwizardl | daftykins: it is what pops up when the drive gets detected | 23:02 |

| nbb | bekks:12.04's software looks really old. It's long time to 14.04, but I'm excited about this LTS. Is there any official information about systemd in ubuntu server 14.04 online? I was google for it, but no results. | 23:03 |
| daftykins | lwizardl: look into ntfsfix then | 23:03 |
| kostkon | nbb, long time? only ~4 months | 23:04 |
| Beldar | JohnnyL, Not really sure of your problem, and trying to understand why you removed FF to begin with. | 23:04 |
| kostkon | nbb, 4.5-5* | 23:04 |
| bekks | nbb: 12.04, which is an LTS release, receives security and bug fixed until 2017. 13.10 will be supported until June 2014. Go figure :) | 23:05 |
| Beldar | JohnnyL, Did you add a firefox PPA? | 23:05 |
| fatjon | hi. how can i control on ubuntu 13.10 if somebody is usin an spy softur on my pc? | 23:06 |
| Beldar | fatjon, Can you make more sense and be specific. | 23:06 |
| esn | fatjon: You could monitor the network trafic | 23:06 |
| esn | Tunnel your trafic through another box and watch what happens | 23:07 |
| fatjon | i want to control if i have a malwere on my ubuntu 13.10 | 23:07 |
| fatjon | esn. how? | 23:07 |
| JohnnyL | Beldar nope. | 23:08 |
| Beldar | fatjon, highly unlikley you do, no real malware for linux, it is rootkits you watch for | 23:08 |
| JohnnyL | I removd FF to begin with because after do-release-upgrade it crashed /crashes evertime i start it. | 23:08 |
| nbb | kostkon: After server reinstallation, it will work a few years. And I need to do it in a few weeks. | 23:08 |
| kostkon | nbb, alright then | 23:08 |
| JohnnyL | ftp version works. but i like having the icon on the side with the other apps. | 23:08 |

| vanina | hhhhhhh | 23:10 |
| esn | fatjon: First of you could install Wireshark on the "infected" machine. I imagine that could work | 23:10 |
| nbb | bekks: I know, it's hard for a stable distro with fresh software in repos and long support. And Upstart is next thing to learn. Thanks for help and some advice, thank kostkon too. | 23:10 |
| Beldar | JohnnyL, There is a #firefox channel you might try there, if you have changed your web access like a proxy...etc this is important info. | 23:11 |
| fatjon | esn. ok. look now for wireshark | 23:11 |
| Beldar | DJRWolf, Hmm, not sure if it was me since I clone all my installs I would fsck it | 23:12 |
| DJRWolf | Beldar ok, will do and report findings | 23:12 |
| Beldar | fatjon, What makes you think you have a problem at all? | 23:13 |
| Beldar | esn, You have not confirmed if the user has any problem, and yet advise as though they have. | 23:14 |
| fatjon | defore use ubuntu i use win7 and somebody install to my compiuter 4 malwere. i i find thet usind a anti malwere softuer | 23:16 |

| fatjon | i now i have feaver thet can hapen aganin | 23:16 |
| esn | Beldar: I presume he wants to investigate. Why he wants to is not of my business | 23:16 |
| Beldar | esn, it is your responsibility to give relevant help, not just anything asked for. | 23:17 |
| Beldar | fatjon, Your description is to vague, and just hard to follow can you be exacting with your posts. | 23:18 |
| esn | I'll take that in mind next time Beldar :) | 23:18 |
| Beldar | esn, cool, no biggie, I just suspect this user is a bit lost is all and not familiar with linux. ;) | 23:18 |
| esn | Oooooohhh.. Beldar I thought he had a spy on windows and wanted to investogate with Ubuntu xD | 23:20 |
| Beldar | fatjon, Although any operating system can be compromised, to do it in linux is not very easy if used carefully, this is not much different in any other OS really, linux in general just has more safeguards on install. | 23:21 |
| fatjon | beldar. ok | 23:22 |
| RocketPenguin123 | How would i copy a partition from a 30gb hdd to a 260 gb hdd, but keep it the same size? | 23:25 |
| Beldar | RocketPenguin123, same computer? | 23:26 |
| glitsj16 | Sparkie: chmod translates to 'all users' (a) will be granted 'write access' (+w) to tmp and data files or directories .. usually the command refers to files or directories with full path, like /tmp so in this case it would only have effect on something beneath the folder hierarchy from where the command is given | 23:26 |
| RocketPenguin123 | Beldar, Its a laptop, so one hdd per use. I have a dock, and it is hooked up with the donor drive. my laptop has the drive it needs to be copied onto. | 23:27 |

| michagogo|cloud | thoraxe: yes | 23:28 |
| iceroot | thoraxe: amd64 = 64bit for intel and amd | 23:28 |
| compdoc | thoraxe, yes | 23:28 |
| Aqua_Reef | Beldar: Have you tried resizing the partition to the size it would be on the other drive. Then do a bit for bit copy? | 23:28 |
| thoraxe | k tx | 23:28 |
| compdoc | I thought it first | 23:28 |
| Beldar | RocketPenguin123, gparted can copy and paste make a same size partition on the new HD that size, youn will just nee to load the grub menu to the mbr if a msdos setup. | 23:29 |
| RocketPenguin123 | I remember there being a command that would simply copy one partition from one drive to another | 23:29 |
| RocketPenguin123 | Beldar, ...Load wha? | 23:29 |
| Beldar | RocketPenguin123, You could dd, but that is not what I would do. | 23:29 |
| Aqua_Reef | RocketPenguin123: Maybe that's dd? I'd recommend resizing the partition though. | 23:29 |
| RocketPenguin123 | And how do you copy the partition in gparted? I dont see that option | 23:30 |

| Aqua_Reef | RocketPenguin123: Slave the drive, find where it's mapped to, then copy the partition over. | 23:32 |
| colbyo | I'm attempting to boot into Single user mode, 'Linux single debug', but the debugging output is hanging at "firewire_core". Any reasons why it would do that? Or how I could pass it? | 23:32 |
