[00:00] <GTB3NW> It's possible in windows through local GP's
[00:00] <GTB3NW> can't find an admin guide for the linux client
[00:00] <uBUXUBu> omg
[00:00] <uBUXUBu> what kind of private key
[00:01] <Bray90820> A while back someone sent me a ling to slowing down the accelration on my magic mouse
[00:01] <Bray90820> does anyone know what that link might be
[00:01] <lickalott> http://askubuntu.com/questions/172972/configure-mouse-speed-not-pointer-acceleration
[00:02] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: Microsoft doesn't exactly want to let you control it.
[00:02] <GTB3NW> they do on windows apparently
[00:02] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: There's nothing to stop you from cutting-and-pasting the key here.
[00:02] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: Not exactly Microsoft's fault.
[00:03] <GTB3NW> looks like they don't have any options to disable features in anything but windows -.-
[00:03] <GTB3NW> jhutchins, not plain text
[00:03] <GTB3NW> actual file
[00:03] <GTB3NW> it sent the whole damn file, luckily it wasn't important
[00:03] <GTB3NW> I didn't even have to hit enter
[00:03] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: I think you can delete the part between "options" and "windows".
[00:03] <refefer> hi there, I'm having trouble with bluetooth tethering to my phone since a recent update
[00:03] <refefer> here is the log I now get when I try to connect: http://pastebin.com/MAXqNP75
[00:03] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: Yeah, drag and drop is such a great feature.
[00:03] <refefer> any ideas?
[00:04] <GTB3NW> -.-
[00:04] <GTB3NW> fuck ms for ruining a great app
[00:04] <jhutchins> GTB3NW: I had a client who kept loosing all his files when he got a trackpad, he'd drag them to random folders by mistake.
[00:04] <GTB3NW> lmao
[00:04] <IdleOne> GTB3NW: No swearing please
[00:04] <GTB3NW> well I was copy text from irc
[00:04] <GTB3NW> okay
[00:04] <GTB3NW> and hit ctrl v
[00:04] <lickalott> !language | GTB3NW
[00:04] <GTB3NW> didn't even have chance to check it was correct
[00:05] <GTB3NW> it just sent it straight up -.-
[00:05] <Bray90820> lickalott: that was not it
[00:05] <lickalott> only reason I know that command is because it's been used on me like 30 times....  :P
[00:05] <GTB3NW> and the linux client cannot cancel downloads :)
[00:05] <lickalott> I just did a simple google search and threw the first one at you Bray90820.
[00:05] <Bray90820> Tgat's alright you tried
[00:07] <fionnan> Just upgraded through a prompt from 10.04 to 12.04.3 and now ethernet doesn't work although it did on 10.04, any ideas?
[00:07] <glitsj16> Bray90820: if you remember the day that occured you could track it down on http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ ..
[00:08] <dekiss> how can I see line numbers where strig was found in files if I use grep?
[00:08] <g0bl1n> dekiss, have you tried ack-grep ?
[00:09] <Bray90820> Thanks
[00:09] <Bray90820> glitsj16: thanks
[00:09] <necrogami> KI7MT, Got it working and my home/away scripts built :D
[00:09] <dekiss> g0bl1n whats that
[00:09] <g0bl1n> dekiss, grep mode in awesome
[00:10] <g0bl1n> dekiss, try apt-get install ack-grep
[00:10] <g0bl1n> easier than grep
[00:10] <g0bl1n> its in the repos
[00:10] <dekiss> i use -n but not working -_-
[00:10] <dekiss> ahh
[00:10] <dekiss> g0bl1n already preinstalled in ubinti 11?
[00:10] <g0bl1n> yes
[00:11] <dekiss> pls how can I find line numbers with it?
[00:11] <glitsj16> Bray90820: i do have an odd memory of you asking here about mouse sensitivity and a script running at login or something, but alas no clue when that was ..
[00:11] <g0bl1n> pre ? don't think so... can't remember. But a simple apt-get install will do :)
[00:11] <g0bl1n> dekiss, just ack-grep string
[00:11] <pieces029> Hello everyone.  I own my own domain and would like to setup a server to be able to have my own domain email address, for example pieces@example.com, and would just like these emails to be forwarded to my gmail account.  I have been researching how to do this with exim4, but was wondering if there was a really good tutorial for this out there already?
[00:11] <Bray90820> glitsj16: oh well
[00:12] <GTB3NW> pieces029, would you like google to handle your emails totally?
[00:12] <dekiss> i got it working I misplaced it g0bl1n :) thanks buddy!
[00:12] <GTB3NW> as in you can login to your @example domain on google..
[00:12] <g0bl1n> :)
[00:13] <pieces029> GTB3NW, oh no.  I would login to my gmail but see emails sent to other addresses.
[00:13] <g0bl1n> dekiss, doing "ack-grep string" will show line numbers, with color :)
[00:13] <g0bl1n> per file
[00:13] <GTB3NW> okay so it's not strictly a relay
[00:13] <g0bl1n> with the highlited string
[00:14] <g0bl1n> its grep in awesome mode :)
[00:14] <GTB3NW> pieces029, I don't know how to do what you want, but if you change your mind, check out google apps for business
[00:14] <Bray90820> What channel is this in the logs
[00:15] <pieces029> GTB3NW, Yeah I don't want to pay google money.
[00:16] <glitsj16> Bray90820: #ubuntu, way down in the log directory
[00:16] <GTB3NW> are you non-profit?
[00:16] <pieces029> GTB3NW, I guess.  It's not for a non-profit oganization or anything
[00:16] <Bray90820> Ahh i foubd it
[00:16] <Bray90820> Thanks
[00:17] <GTB3NW> ahh, you must be a registered organisation if you want to use it for free
[00:17] <GTB3NW> sorry
[00:17] <GTB3NW> https://support.google.com/nonprofits/answer/3215869
[00:17] <GTB3NW> check it anyway
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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*
[00:21] <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
[00:23] <banderaz> need help with ubuntu 10.4 live cd anyone?
[00:24] <mmazing_> hmmm, i think i figured out my kernel issue
[00:24] <bekks> !ask | banderaz
[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.
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <mmazing_> weird ... chroot isn't working with apt
[00:28] <mmazing_> Can't open /dev/null: Permission denied
[00:29] <gordonjcp> mmazing_: interesting
[00:29] <banderaz> ok. i running ubuntu LTS 10.4 as live cd since the hdd is busted on my laptop. need to connect the huawei E1552 usb modem, tried the following link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502797 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1481930) . will it work running live or only if installed??
[00:30] <gordonjcp> banderaz: 10.04 is not supported
[00:31] <john_rambo> I have a VM running 12.04. I have installed dquid-deb-proxy-client on it and squid-deb-proxy on the host ............I want the VM to receive updates only from the host .....How to do this ?
[00:32] <KI7MT> banderaz: pop 10.04 server CD in and you get support until APR-2015 .. just install one of the desktops and yuor good to go
[00:33] <kostkon> KI7MT, the desktop packages are not getting any updates though
[00:33] <Birdman3131> I need some help installing ubuntu. Was going to install using wubi but it is asking if I want to uninstall. When I click yes it gives me an error of https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36703262/wubi.png The log can be found at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36703262/wubi-11.10-rev245.log  Now I do have a partition with ubuntu on it that is abandoned due to no boot loader pointing at it. I also have no flash drive or cd drive at the moment so
[00:33] <Birdman3131> unless I can use the windows 7 bootloader to point at my ubuntu partition or get wubi going I am out of luck.
[00:33] <banderaz> ok. i running ubuntu LTS 10.4 as live cd since the hdd is busted on my laptop. need to connect the huawei E1552 usb modem, tried the following link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502797 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1481930) . will it work running live or only if installed??
[00:35] <KI7MT> kostkon: ok, world not gonna spin backwards cuz he doen't get desktop update, but the statement that 10.04 is not supported, in not entirely accurate, 10.04 desktop is EOL, not the server.
[00:36] <mdpatrick> Hi -- I can't reach my node server on my ubuntu machine from my local network, but it works fine if I view the page on port 8000 on the ubuntu machine
[00:36] <kostkon> KI7MT, yes, but support has ended for a good percentage of the 10.04  packages
[00:36] <mdpatrick> I can't figure out if its iptables, or ufw, or what's going on
[00:36] <bitbyte> hey guys any of you guys know how to kill zombie processes
[00:36] <bekks> bitbyte: There is no way to kill them, thats why they are kalled zombies.
[00:37] <bekks> bitbyte: Rebooting is the only way.
[00:37] <bekks> *called
[00:37] <banderaz> KI7MT. i can not install ubuntu on my laptop (busted hdd)
[00:37] <KI7MT> kostkon: ok, and ?
[00:37] <ukn33> Anyone here good at compiling? I'm having trouble with WabbitEmu and am not experienced enough to know what's wrong
[00:37] <ukn33> https://code.google.com/p/wxwabbitemu/
[00:37] <ItsMeLenny> is there somewhere i can explore the ubuntu .so's
[00:38] <bitbyte> thats fine was just wondering if there is a way to kill the parent which got stuck but I'm working remotely right now so will wait tomorrow for a reboot
[00:38] <bitbyte> thanks bekks
[00:38] <goncalo_> anyone experiencing untrusted packages during the upgrade or install when using ubuntu's gb mirror? could the server have been hacked?
[00:38] <bekks> bitbyte: The parent got killed already, thats why it is a zombie.
[00:38] <KI7MT> banderaz: that is probably somehtign you want to get fixed, as runnign LiveCD's gets to be a pain after a while.
[00:38] <kostkon> KI7MT, nothing, i am not sure why we are arguing about that to begin with
[00:38] <bitbyte> beaks ill have to give the ubuntu page on it another read and get to grips with it a bit more
[00:38] <bitbyte> bekks *
[00:38] <bekks> bitbyte: the process is still running while its parent isnt anymore.
[00:39] <bitbyte> beaks i'm also trying to trim my sshd config to the bare minimum needed know any decent guides ?
[00:39] <bitbyte> bekks *
[00:39] <bitbyte> argh why am i putting an "a" in haha
[00:39] <Birdman3131> I need some help installing ubuntu. Was going to install using wubi but it is asking if I want to uninstall. When I click yes it gives me an error of https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36703262/wubi.png The log can be found at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36703262/wubi-11.10-rev245.log Now I do have a partition with ubuntu on it that is abandoned due to no boot loader pointing at it. I also have no flash drive or cd drive at the moment so unless
[00:39] <Birdman3131>  I can use the windows 7 bootloader to point at my ubuntu partition or get wubi going I am out of luck.
[00:40] <bitbyte> I've got my config down to this trimming the comments http://pastebin.com/ayWUmKnr and wanna see if i can get rid of some more all i'm wanting is RSA and password auth and going to just be using terminal on my mac to connect
[00:40] <Beldar> Birdman3131, You can use grub to boot both if you install correctly.
[00:41] <gordonjcp> Birdman3131: don't use wubi, it is no longer supported
[00:41] <Birdman3131> Beldar: I don't have any flash drives or a working dvd drive though to fix grub
[00:41] <KI7MT> bitbyte: bare minimum and secure dont always see eye to eye .. and it's more often than not, personal preference, that said, here's a few ideas from the Nix boys: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-bsd-openssh-server-best-practices.html
[00:41] <gordonjcp> Birdman3131: 24-hour tesco, 4GB drive for about £2.50
[00:41] <gordonjcp> seriously
[00:41] <bitbyte> thanks man much appreciated :)
[00:41] <gordonjcp> there's no excuse... ;-)
[00:43] <ukn33> Can anyone here help me compile WabbitEMU?
[00:43] <ukn33> 192.241.205.5
[00:43] <ukn33> ignore that
[00:43] <bitbyte> KI7MT I've actually got the ssh_config down to http://pastebin.com/cZNLGFFp just need to trim the sshd_config more
[00:43] <FloodBot1> ukn33: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:43] <ukn33> wrong
[00:43] <Birdman3131> gordonjcp: Im without a car and not walking 1.5 hours in sub freezing weather just to go buy a flash drive. I don't mind being told that it is the only way but don't try telling me to go get one if I don't have one.
[00:43] <morten77> the volume control in bottom right corner (in ubuntu10.04) is that pulseaudios tool or? how can I find out what program actually that shows it?
[00:44] <ukn33> Can someone help me get a compilation of wabbitemu(https://code.google.com/p/wxwabbitemu/) working?
[00:44] <KI7MT> bitbyte: I suppose, without know the reason why it needs to be trimmed to x,y,z .. we'd be gussing, what's the goal of trimming it down ?
[00:44] <Beldar> Birdman3131, When you power on the computer do you get a boot menu or does it go straight to windows
[00:44] <morten77> (uhh.. or maybe it is in top right pannel to begin with)
[00:45] <Birdman3131> Beldar: I can get to the windows 7 boot loader but grub is no longer accessable.
[00:45] <bitbyte> KI7MT I'm working on the theory that If I don't need the functionality of most of the options the no reason to have them defined. Less open doors the more secure ?
[00:45] <Birdman3131> I might be able to find a 1gb flash drive. I did use to have one.
[00:45] <morten77> I have a small problem with the volume control in the bottom right corner... if you click at the lower end of the drag thing in the sliders to drag change volume instead it jumps away to larger volume.
[00:45] <Beldar> Birdman3131, Get to, is this a uefi computer?
[00:46] <Sazpaimon__> trying to boot an ubuntu live usb on my macbookpro. I'm getting weird colors, almost as if the screen was physically damaged
[00:46] <Birdman3131> Beldar: No. its still one bios.
[00:46] <Beldar> !nomodeset | Sazpaimon__
[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
[00:47] <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
[00:48] <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.
[00:49] <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.
[00:50] <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 :'(
[00:51] <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
[00:52] <Birdman3131> Beldar: I was not trying to read off it just to get some form of linux working. And a VM does not work because the program I want to use need actual hardware access not fake access.
[00:52] <ikeboy> I'm trying to run isomaster and I get this error when I select an iso "Failed to read directory tree: 'No posix extentions found' can anyone help me?
[00:53] <kostkon> !info isomaster
[00:53] <Beldar> Birdman3131, I have seen claims that adding the ubuntu to the bcd menu does work, never tried it nor know how but there is a user on the ##windows channel now, I have seen recommend this
[00:53] <Birdman3131> Ill try it.
[00:54] <ikeboy> Birdman3131, I use ubuntu with EasyBCD and Windows 7
[00:56] <Sazpaimon__> Beldar, nomodeset gives me a black screen after plymouth
[00:57] <Beldar> Sazpaimon__, I have never booted on an apple, so my stock response here is have you checked the md5sum?
[00:58] <Beldar> you can do a text boot I believe from a live environment and see if it's failing/errors
[00:59] <Beldar> I surprised plymouth shows in nomodeset
[00:59] <Beldar> I'm*
[00:59] <Beldar> afk
[00:59] <Sazpaimon__> Beldar, I can access the console with ctrl+alt+f1
[00:59] <Sazpaimon__> but i only have wifi available so I cant do much here
[01:05] <ikeboy> Does anyone know about the error I got?
[01:06] <Beldar> Sazpaimon__, console as in tty?
[01:07] <jbastias> who
[01:08] <Beldar> Sazpaimon__, I assume you have seen this but just passing on if not. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[01:08] <birdman313131> Beldar: It worked. Thanks for the help. Now to update this thing from  2010.
[01:09] <Beldar> birdman313131, 2010, what release is that?
[01:10] <birdman313131> Beldar: 10.04 LTS lucid lynx. I know it was 2010 from one of the pages that showed up when firefox restored session.
[01:11] <Beldar> birdman313131, Cool, the repos or closed for 2010, however you can do a eol upgrade to 12.04 if you like.
[01:11] <Beldar> closed for 10.04
[01:12] <kostkon> !eolupgrades | Birdman3131
[01:13] <neyder_> hi tehre
[01:14] <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
[01:16] <Bray90820> Is it possible to run a bash script upon connecting a Bluetooth device
[01:19] <KI7MT> Bray90820: just for info what are you trying to accomplish with the script?
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <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
[01:23] <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
[01:24] <KI7MT> Bray90820: but the answer to your original question, is yes, it can be done, it's just not a point and click solution.
[01:25] <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

[01:34] <Cooper_>  Would this be the appropriate place to ask help with squid proxy ?
[01:36] <KI7MT> Bray90820: Bray90820 was in another channel, I do very little work with Bluez and BT devices ... maybe others can assist in your setup.
[01:36] <Bray90820> Alright
[01:37] <Bray90820> Anyone else know how to make my bluetooth mouse not need to click when i boot up
[01:37] <Cooper_> Anyone help me with squid ?
[01:38] <glitsj16> Bray90820: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup, the part on 'Connect Devices at Startup' yet? zero experience with bluetooth myself, but it looks relevant if i understand what you're trying to achieve
[01:39] <Cooper_> My Ubuntu has squid3.  The time in Ubunt is correct, but squid3 time is off.  Where in the squid.conf file can I fix time ?  Anyone ?

[01:44] <lauratika> hi every one... is there a way to have a wireless conection only for my home and wont show up for oothers outside my home?
[01:44] <harushimo> when is the ubuntu phone officially coming out
[01:45] <harushimo> can you install android apps on the ubuntu phone?
[01:45] <Cooper_> KI7MT I'll look in the config file again.  I just did not see anywhere in there where to fix the time or time zone.  Thx
[01:45] <Beldar> lauratika, generally a router allows you to turn down the signal, but in or outside is well at best a guess.
[01:45] <banderaz> if i run on live cd "sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf" or "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-huawei-e1552.rules" will it work?
[01:46] <lauratika> what i mean if is possible to create a vpn only for wireless devices connected at home
[01:46] <SonikkuAmerica> !ubuntu-gnome is <reply> Ubuntu GNOME is a supported !flavor of Ubuntu that uses !GNOME as the default desktop environment instead of Unity. For more info or to download, see http://www.ubuntugnome.org/ or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/OneStopPage .
[01:47] <glitsj16> harushimo: you might try #ubuntu-touch for those questions
[01:47] <KI7MT> Cooper_: lookign at the docs, layout is somehting like: acl name time [day-list] [start_hour:minute-end_hour:minute]
[01:47] <harushimo> thank you
[01:50] <SonikkuAmerica> !gnome is <reply> GNOME was the default desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10. To install the GNOME Shell, type [ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ] in a !terminal. For the GNOME-based !flavor of Ubuntu, see !ubuntu-gnome .

[01:53] <Bray90820> The link you sent me does not work for me
[01:54] <shreezbot_> What command can I use to see disk performance on my Ubuntu machine?
[01:54] <Bray90820> My problem is it sees it and is paired and everything but won't work until i clock the mouse
[01:55] <glitsj16> Bray90820: too bad, let's hope someone knowledgeable on bluetooth chimes in
[01:55] <Bray90820> Yea
[01:56] <Mike9863> I killed pulseaudio but now I'm having trouble getting it to start again. When I run pulseaudio -D it gives me an error saying the Daemon startup failed. Can anyone help me start it again?
[01:57] <_Pete_> Mike9863: did you use sudo to do that?
[01:57] <Mike9863> _Pete_: I don't think so
[01:58] <goaw> hello, I'm actually attempting to update my system & message is suggesting "Waiting for data... (interrupt to abort). Does anybody have any suggestions to fix the problem?
[01:58] <_Pete_> Mike9863: what was the actual command you tried?
[01:58] <Mike9863> _Pete_: I used killall pulseaudio
[01:58] <SonikkuAmerica> It's BLOWNCO
[01:58] <banderaz> if i run on live cd "sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf" or "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-huawei-e1552.rules" will it work?
[01:59] <CptBley> Hi
[01:59]  * BLOWNCO is here
[01:59] <_Pete_> Mike9863: sudo service pulseaudio restart

It now displays 'GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3.10' then a new line and 'Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first woed, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.' Then a new line; ;grub>_
[02:01] <CptBley> What do I do
[02:01] <CptBley> How can I fix this

[02:02] <CptBley> this is driving me insane
[02:03] <Bray90820> Anyone here good with Bluetooth
[02:03] <zykotick9> CptBley: easiest solution, it probably to try reinstalling grub... good luck.

[02:03] <CptBley> Hiw
[02:03] <CptBley> How?
[02:03] <lauratika> i have a router and now i have 3 devices at home will be using wirless internet is there a way to use ubuntu as a access point ONLY for my home devices?
[02:03] <CptBley> how can I reinstall GRUB
[02:04] <zykotick9> CptBley: i'll leave that for someone else to answer...  good luck.
[02:04] <CptBley> I don't have a 'Live CD
[02:04] <Beldar> CptBley, You can chroot from a live cd, or get suprgrub to boot to the desktop and do it from there, or manually boot grub.
[02:04] <zykotick9> !grub | CptBley
[02:05] <Beldar> or maybe bootrepair will fix it from the above bot meaasage
[02:05] <glitsj16> Mike9863: anything more usefull reported in ~/.xsession-errors when you try to restart pulseaudio? and fyi, the per-user session configuration is the default these days
[02:05] <Beldar> message*
[02:05] <banderaz> any other ubuntu channel that can help me
[02:05] <KI7MT> CptBley: ot look into: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[02:06] <zykotick9> KI7MT: thanks, that's the part i'm not familiar with ;)
[02:06] <Mike9863> glitsj16: There don't seem to be any changes made to that file when I run the various startup commands
[02:06] <CptBley> Can I use a DVD RW for a live CD
[02:06] <zykotick9> CptBley: yes

[02:09] <vocx> banderaz, here is the place to ask, but you can also try the ubuntuforums.org, much information there.
[02:09] <Beldar> SonikkuAmerica, Why do you keep kicking the bot?
[02:09] <SonikkuAmerica> Beldar: I was adding factoids. Sorry if it's bothering you.
[02:11] <Beldar> SonikkuAmerica, some read confusing to a new user I think.
[02:14] <KI7MT> SonikkuAmerica: while your adding, add one for BootRepair .. seems to be loads of that needed these days.
[02:14] <SonikkuAmerica> I thought there was one...
[02:14] <KI7MT> Mybe is .. not sure.
[02:15] <KI7MT> There is one for Grub .. but dont know about BootRepair specifically.
[02:15] <SonikkuAmerica> Oh nope, there isn't. You can submit the change yourself, just type !boot-repair is <reply> <text>
[02:16] <SonikkuAmerica> KI7MT: The ops will need to approve of it, however. And they've been known to care lesss
[02:16] <KI7MT> I'll let you all submit them, just think that would be a good one.
[02:19] <Beldar> there is a bootinfo and bootinfoscript I see no bootrepair in it, used to be one.
[02:20] <SonikkuAmerica> KI7MT: Probably the reason we don't have a factoid for Boot-Repair is that it's a PPA.
[02:21] <john_rambo> I have apt-caher-ng  running on the host. I have configured the client (VM) but it is still downloading pacakages from the internet .....is this normal ? Then whats the use of apt-cacher-ng ?
[02:22] <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?
[02:24] <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
[02:25] <zykotick9> john_rambo: then add the line = Acquire::http::Proxy "http://IPADDRESS:3142/";
[02:26] <jester> how do you find the ssid of the wireless network you want to connect to?
[02:26] <Bray90820> Is there any way to emulate a mouse click in the terminal
[02:27] <john_rambo> zykotick9, Doing that ......just have alook at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/116575/where-are-apt-get-files-stored  .............I did whats written in the first answer.........should I undo that first ?
[02:29] <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 .......
[02:30] <KI7MT> john_rambo: shreezbot_ create a tar.gz or archive and move one file, then extract it.
[02:31] <KI7MT> john_rambo was on previous by mistake, sri.
[02:34] <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
[02:37] <jester> does any one know how you can find the ssid of the wireless network you want to connect to?
[02:37] <jester> does any one know how you can find the ssid of the wireless network you want to connect to?*
[02:37] <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?
[02:38] <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!
[02:39] <john_rambo> Okay .... configuring host ...
[02:39] <zykotick9> john_rambo: i'd guess, it WAS working before, and my suggestion/change wasn't necessary
[02:40] <zykotick9> john_rambo: it should work either way though, but your original method - does have an advantage... of not creating apt.conf
[02:42] <zykotick9> john_rambo: it is possible to import your current /var/cache/apt/archive files - but i've never tried...
[02:43] <glitsj16> !info linssid | jester
[02:44] <jester> the bot is not making sense...
[02:44] <jester> is ssid just the name of the connection?
[02:45] <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
[02:46] <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?
[02:47] <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
[02:48] <glitsj16> jester: yes it's the human readable name
[02:50] <Pwnna> yeah. X ram usage is definitely creeping upwards at a rate about 150MB per day
[02:50] <Pwnna> not sure why.
[02:50] <Pwnna> wast at about 150MB yesterday. Now iit is at ~300

[03:02] <ztane> *item at the top of the menu, however I cant see it,4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2
[03:03] <Beldar> ikeboy, Technically 3rd party apps are not supported here.
[03:03] <ztane> I am running 2 instances of skype (2 accounts, different dbpath), anyone know if that might mess up with skype+unity
[03:04] <Beldar> ikeboy, I was wrong I actually see it in the repos my bad.
[03:06] <ParkerR> Is the original Nexus 7 Ubuntu image available anywhere? I am wanting to try out the image that was pretty much just normal Ubuntu (looked like full desktop) but had touch input and touch friendly software keyboard. It was available here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-preinstalled/current/ (From this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation )
[03:06] <ParkerR> I'm not wanting the new Ubuntu Touch based images
[03:06] <Beldar> ParkerR, #ubuntu-touch
[03:06] <somsip> ParkerR: go to the touch homepage and its linked from there
[03:08] <Beldar> ParkerR, None run all that well on a nexus 7 though, long battery time however.
[03:09] <ParkerR> I undertsnd it isnt that great performance wise. I just remembered trying the initial image that was available but am failing to find it now
[03:12] <aaas> any idea what would cause a mount point where 'mount' reads 'rw' to change to 'ro' as soon as I try and delete something in that mount point?
[03:12] <somsip> aaas: what is being mounted?
[03:14] <aaas> somsip in this particular case it's a 'mx linux' install on a linux mini pc  ...im mounting the /root directory (/dev/data)
[03:15] <ztane> aaas: bc it is mounted with errors=remount-ro

[03:43] <CptBley> Hi I have here a USB boot disk made by unetbootin. I start my computer, an HP DX7200 Slim tower and use F9 (Boot Menu). I am then faced with a menu consisting of four things; CD-ROM, USB, Hard Drive, And some other mumbo jumbo thing. I then select USB and hit enter. A few seconds pass and it comes up with windows boot information (Start windows normally etc) What am I doing wrong, the disc is bootable
[03:43] <Beldar> CptBley, THis a uefi computer?
[03:44] <CptBley> A what?
[03:44] <CptBley> Windows wiped out GRUB
[03:44] <CptBley> Bootloader
[03:44] <Beldar> CptBley, What is the windows release?
[03:44] <CptBley> XP Proffesional
[03:44] <Beldar> CptBley, Your install?
[03:45] <CptBley> uuuuuuh
[03:45] <CptBley> What
[03:45] <Beldar> CptBley, Pretty simple questions
[03:45] <CptBley> My install of what
[03:45] <Beldar> think before just going what
[03:45] <Beldar> what were we talking about last
[03:45] <CptBley> WIndows
[03:45] <CptBley> uhm
[03:46] <Beldar> very good it the XP, your install
[03:46] <Beldar> is*
[03:46] <CptBley> where do I get that?
[03:46] <Beldar> CptBley, Did you install XP in that computer yourself?
[03:46] <CptBley> No
[03:47] <CptBley> I bought it off someone
[03:47] <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.
[03:48] <CptBley> Sum? Live Desktop?
[03:48] <Beldar> !md5sum | CptBley
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <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
[03:51] <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.
[03:52] <CptBley> Im on a mac
[03:52] <Beldar> CptBley, Cool beyond me to help you, good luck.
[03:53] <prsteele> Does anyone know when ~/.Xkbmap should be loaded in, or otherwise know when calls to setxkbmap should be made?
[03:55] <ItsMeLenny> how do i install different versions of the same program from a ppa?
[03:56] <Beldar> ItsMeLenny, check that the versions are not release related.
[03:57] <KI7MT> /load/window new split
[03:57] <Beldar> ItsMeLenny, Are you familiar with ppa-purge?
[03:57] <cfhowlett> !mac|CptBley,
[03:58] <salmandjuli> Indonesian
[03:59] <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
[04:00] <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.
[04:01] <ItsMeLenny> playonlinux didnt help
[04:01] <ItsMeLenny> not in over my head
[04:02] <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
[04:07] <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.
[04:08] <ItsMeLenny> rrawze, i'll try
[04:09] <ItsMeLenny> rrawze, didnt work
[04:09] <ItsMeLenny> something so bizarre is going on
[04:12] <alex_fun> hey folks is 13.10 good?
[04:12] <alex_fun> or 13.04 is better?
[04:13] <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
[04:14] <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

[04:15] <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?
[04:16] <shreezbot_> SchrodingersScat, I thought of tmpfs, but my main OS drive is an SSD, so I don't really know if that's nessesary...
[04:17] <shreezbot_> Oh, that's another thing...  256GB SSD and I'm using 5GB of it...  #firstworldproblems indeed...
[04:18] <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.
[04:19] <SchrodingersScat> shreezbot_: ^ there you go, rewrite your cache manager.
[04:20] <shreezbot_> SchrodingersScat, lol, I'm not that smart yet...  I'm a Linux baby...  :)
[04:21] <SchrodingersScat> shreezbot_: minecraft eats ram, right?
[04:22] <shreezbot_> SchrodingersScat, I've heard that it does
[04:23] <rrawze> it will eat whatever amount of ram you allow for in the JVM environment. my minecraft server is currently using 2GB ram
[04:24] <rrawze> it takes about 300k blocks of tnt going off at once to bog it down to any significant degree'
[04:43] <sdouble_> any ideas why I can't hear any sound unless I'm using root/sudo?  user groups: adm cdrom sudo audio dip plugdev fuse lpadmin sambashare pulse-access
[04:44] <siberiannerd> is bumblebee ppa broken for 13.04?
[04:44] <sf_> oi
[04:45] <vocx> !sound
[04:45] <sf_> s
[04:45] <sf_> s
[04:45] <sf_> ss
[04:45] <sf_> sss
[04:45] <vocx> sdouble_, In the helps there it says that some wrong permissions would cause this.
[04:45] <FloodBot1> sf_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:45] <xangua> siberiannerd: if you mean no packages or broken pakages, you can check the ppa yourself
[04:46] <sdouble_> forgot to mention, I'm running minimal ubuntu with i3, so I don't have all of unity's applets
[04:46] <siberiannerd> xangua, i'm checking it myself and when adding it i face dependency problem
[04:46] <vocx> sdouble_, I didn't find that problem, but I read it there.
[04:46] <xangua> siberiannerd: then you should probably contact the PPA maintainer
[04:47] <sf_> how to create reader for android ?
[04:47] <xangua> file a bug, etc.
[04:47] <siberiannerd> xangua, before doing so i would like to double-check myself asking if someone can see the same

[05:03] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[05:03] <SchrodingersScat> good evening
[05:04] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, greetings
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: hello mate :p
[05:06] <dharani1> hi
[05:06] <siberiannerd> i experience dependency problem adding bumblebee ppa on 13.04, am i the only one?
[05:07] <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.
[05:08] <cfhowlett> !root
[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
[05:09] <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] <Beldar> behind the password if it is so like always
[05:10] <Beldar> I think you can acces the admin from a regular account with the admin password, not sure though.
[05:11] <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
[05:12] <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
[05:13] <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?
[05:14] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: That person was wrongwrong.
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: holdon lemme find my logs
[05:15] <duoi> hi all. how do i find out my GPU firmware version?
[05:15] <Jordan_U> duoi: What is your end goal?
[05:16] <duoi> Jordan_U, finding out firmware version
[05:17] <Jordan_U> duoi: That's not an end goal. Why do you want to know the firmware version?
[05:18] <duoi> Jordan_U, for my own personal satisfcation
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> seems like my scrollback doesnt go that far
[05:20] <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.
[05:21] <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] <lotuspsychje> dharani_sahu: so another users cant do nothing, without being member of that admin group?
[05:22] <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)
[05:23] <scarrs> hello all... I have a friend that is wanting to install ubuntu. he has booted to the live cd however clicking the install icon does not work. I am an expereinced ubuntu user to help him but I forget this: what is the terminlal command to install ubuntu?
[05:23] <dharani_sahu> @lotuspsychje:but if the admin grants the permission to execute commands which needs to be then its possible
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> ok tnx guys
[05:25] <Jordan_U> scarrs: There is no single command that installs Ubuntu. What happens when they try to press the install button?
[05:26] <duoi> Jordan_U, or at least find out the BIOS version of the GPU?
[05:28] <scarrs> Jordan_U, absolutey nothing
[05:28] <banderaz> will Huawei E1552 usb modem work with Ubuntu 13.10 or Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? anybody
[05:29] <Toyraztory> Hello
[05:29] <cfhowlett> Toyraztory, greetings
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/12/22/%23ubuntu.txt 11H51
[05:30] <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
[05:31] <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] <scarrs> zykotick9, tyvm, however my bro seems to have navigated the cdrom boot menu and is installing NOW (woot)
[05:32] <Jordan_U> duoi: I'm not familiar with that tool.
[05:32] <Toyraztory> i have playonlinux
[05:32] <Toyraztory> but i cant get it to download thru steam
[05:32] <varun> how can i access ubuntu firewall
[05:32] <scarrs> thanks for your help guys
[05:32] <cfhowlett> Toyraztory, pretty sure playonlinux and steam aren't built to cooperate
[05:32] <cfhowlett> !firewall|varun,
[05:33] <Toyraztory> ok ok
[05:33] <varun> but it is all command line based
[05:33] <varun> is there any gui based
[05:33] <cfhowlett> varun, gufw

[05:38] <zykotick9> lotuspsychje: are you running saucy?  or did you add a ppa?  "apt-cache policy firestarter" perhaps show you?

[05:41] <zykotick9> lotuspsychje: dunno...
[05:41] <dk0r> Does anyone have the intel 7260 wireless nic working on 5 GHz?
[05:41] <lotuspsychje> zykotick9: ok shows on raring info

[05:47] <Gnea> roots9: what laptop do you have? which make & model?
[05:47] <Gnea> roots9: also, why do you need access to lost+found?
[05:50] <roots9> Gnea 1. i made my laptop out of pieces 2. that requires root info access and you are not root :)
[05:52] <Gnea> roots9: Okay, well without knowing what sort of hardware you've got, there really isn't anything I can help you with directly regarding the gestures.  And yes, I know that I am not root.  I am Gnea. ;-)

[06:03] <bazhang> !appdb | bee
[06:04] <cfhowlett> bee, maybe in wine but certainly with less than perfect results.  consider using libreoffice or openoffice

[06:08] <roots9> I have to write code for gestures?
[06:09] <Bray90820> Every time i stat ubuntu I need to click my bluetooth mouse to get it to activate and because of that my acceleration script doesn't activate  correctly
[06:10] <KI7MT> clear
[06:11] <roots9> why would you get a bluetooth mouse in the 1-st place if you want an acceleration script?
[06:11] <Gnea> roots9: you have to use a special utility to figure out which gestures your device supports and then you'll need to write it into a config file for Xorg to use
[06:12] <Bray90820> roots9: the script i am using slows it down beyond what the system settings have
[06:13] <sdfsfs> I just burn a copy of ubuntu into my USB , after the install ubuntu screen, it went black with a white _ blinking, any ideas?

[06:18] <Bray90820> KI7MT: i think you misunderstood me i ment that have it automatically run after i click
[06:19] <roots9> is touchegg working on ubu 13.10?
[06:21] <vocx> muchdoge, I only have libcurl4, is your libcurl14 a typo?
[06:21] <mnsekh> how to start building applications for ubuntu or other debian based systems?
[06:21] <muchdoge> vocx: yeah, sorry, I did mean libcurl4
[06:22] <cfhowlett> !packaging|mnsekh,
[06:22] <cfhowlett> !contribute
[06:22] <cfhowlett> mnsekh, for debian building see #debian
[06:23] <KI7MT> I dont see a libcurl4 package, only the dev package libcurl5-gnutls-dev
[06:23] <mnsekh> thanks for the resources ubottu , cfhowlett
[06:23] <KI7MT> whoops libcurl4-gnutls-dev .. not 5
[06:24] <muchdoge> KI7MT: so what do you think?
[06:25] <KI7MT> muchdoge: I would install libcurl4-gnutlss-dev .. it required 3, but also provided libcurl4-dev
[06:26] <KI7MT> muchdoge: Have a lok at: apt-cache show libcurl4-gnutls-dev  ..
[06:27] <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
[06:28] <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 ..
[06:29] <muchdoge> oh, should I have let that run?
[06:29] <KI7MT> muchdoge: yes, in terminal type: apt-cache show libcurl4-gnutls-dev
[06:30] <KI7MT> That will list the package details .. it won't install it though.
[06:30] <muchdoge> KI7MT, How do I install it?
[06:31] <KI7MT> muchdoge: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
[06:32] <muchdoge> KI7MT. Same error. Should I copy and paste it somewhere so you can see?
[06:32] <KI7MT> muchdoge: just curous, what program / application is requiring libcurl4 ?

[06:48] <KI7MT> Hello
[06:48] <MarkDavies> How can I start vi (not vim) in Ubuntu?
[06:49] <Bray90820> KI7MT: maybe i could just change the default value of the mouse
[06:49] <Bray90820> KI7MT: xinput
[06:50] <boobs_> whois Hexeon
[06:52] <KI7MT> MarkDavies: this may be what your needding: http://askubuntu.com/questions/111019/how-to-make-vi-default
[06:53] <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.
[06:54] <Bray90820> Well maybe someone else can chime in then
[06:55] <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?
[06:56] <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] <lijing_nick> This is from lijing.

[06:57] <cem_> is there n e systray options on gnome ubuntu 13.10?
[06:58] <KI7MT> MarkDavies: Thought that would give you a doc reference .. I'll got find one for ya, VIM wise.
[06:58] <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.
[06:59] <KI7MT> MarkDavies: Quick Ref Guide: http://tnerual.eriogerg.free.fr/vimqrc.html
[06:59] <cem_> i wanna add skype and evolution to system tray, i googled but every examples were for oldest ubuntu versions
[07:00] <KI7MT> muchdoge: There's a section on APT and The Terminal (xterm), would probably be good to read through those.
[07:00] <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.
[07:01] <MarkDavies> KI7MT: do you use vim?
[07:02] <KI7MT> MarkDavies: No.
[07:02] <KI7MT> quizme: Did you elect to configure later, or do the config at install ?
[07:03] <quizme> K17MT I configured it as an internet server
[07:04] <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
[07:06] <KI7MT> quizme: you may need to dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[07:06] <quizme> K17MT http://pastebin.com/ZLCkeHd0
[07:08] <KI7MT> quizme: hmm, that's looks right to me.

[07:12] <quizme> K17MT http://pastebin.com/nwyEf5bv
[07:12] <Bray90820> prob not right?
[07:13] <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?
[07:14] <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
[07:15] <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
[07:16] <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
[07:17] <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
[07:18] <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 ?
[07:19] <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 ?
[07:20] <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
[07:21] <quizme> K17MT yes
[07:22] <KI7MT> quizme: lets find out if this is postfix sendmail: dpkg -S `which sendmail`
[07:22] <quizme> K17MT postfix: /usr/sbin/sendmail
[07:23] <KI7MT> quizme: As Postfix is actually a drop in replacement for sendmail that has it's own sendmail binary.
[07:24] <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...
[07:25] <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 ?
[07:26] <KI7MT> quizme: jsut fyi, my nock is K i cap I not 1 :-)
[07:26] <KI7MT> my nick ..
[07:26] <quizme> oh
[07:27] <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
[07:28] <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
[07:29] <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.
[07:31] <Bray90820> lotuspsychje: the problem isn't with the mouse itself it's with ubuntu
[07:32] <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?
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> !info blueman | Bray90820
[07:34] <Bray90820> lotuspsychje: the mouse connects fine i just can't set the acceleration of it
[07:35] <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?)
[07:37] <KI7MT> quizme: this one includes a MySQL back end, but also has good over view images for background info: https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/postfix2.9.6-dovecot2.0.19-mysql
[07:38] <quizme> KI7MT thanks i'll try it out
[07:38] <lotuspsychje> Bray90820: here's a thread about tweaking stuff: http://www.xenabeast.com/solution-install-ubuntu-13-10-macbook-pro-2/
[07:38] <KI7MT> quizme: There's allot there, I'd have a full read through it first, then, go back to the beginning.
[07:39] <zeqe> öpä
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> !fi | zeqe
[07:41] <KI7MT> xmetal: when you say no progress in the menus, are you talking about the install menus's  ?
[07:43] <xmetal> unity display as if nothing is wrong but when i go to the (forgot the term) the first box on the top left, where you would say start typing a program name in...its always blank (doesn't list any programs) ... switch DE's and its fine (the programs ARE installed .. just no "unity menu items for them")
[07:43] <xmetal> i dont use unity all the time, though i do want to figure out what may be causing this
[07:44] <xmetal> (like in windows ... all programs are where you left them but the "Start menu~~>programs~~>" is blank)
[07:44] <xmetal> just as a comparison
[07:45] <lotuspsychje> xmetal: old graphics card?
[07:45] <KI7MT> xmetal: what version of ubuntu ?  Start --> Menu .. .. . In Gnome-Classic ?
[07:47] <xmetal> pc is from 2009 .. .not the newest but not old
[07:47] <xmetal> the start menus (from windows) was just a metaphor i was using
[07:47] <xmetal> (bad thing to do in a linux room :P )
[07:47] <cfhowlett> xmetal, lubuntu is optimized for devices like yours
[07:47] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu
[07:48] <kkkkk> HI , i want to purchase a new  3gmodem, because today my modem got dead, i have shortlisted huawei e303c or e303u, both have same features but 303u is newer model. Both have call support from PC, but i want to know whether call support will work in ubuntu also, on  huawei website it is written it supports linux, i am confirming the same http://www.huaweidevice.co.in/Products/MobileBroadband/compare-data-cards.php
[07:48] <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
[07:49] <xmetal> no big deal but i would like to see if i can figure out whats wrong here
[07:49] <xmetal> i am happy with other DE's too
[07:49] <xmetal> -too *
[07:49] <kkkkk> guys and gals please guide,
[07:50] <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.
[07:51] <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
[07:52] <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?
[07:53] <lotuspsychje> kkkkk: huawei installed by default for me on 13.04..not sure bout other versions
[07:55] <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] <lotuspsychje> KI7MT: good idea!
[07:56] <KI7MT> Or do a fresh 14.04 Install.
[07:57] <moi> hi
[07:57] <cfhowlett> moi, greetings
[08:00] <athene_noctua> Hi, I am running 12.04 and recently turned off automounting via dconf-editor (for both cinnamon and gnome, if that matters). How do I see a CD-ROM after I insert it?
[08:00] <athene_noctua> Is it in /dev somewhere?
[08:01] <lotuspsychje> athene_noctua: show volumes visible desktop or something
[08:02] <atmosx> hello, can I somehow tell ufw not to use dmesg to dump logs but to use a specific file?
[08:04] <KI7MT> athene_noctua: ls /dev/cd*   .. not sure why you'd want automount off, but all esle fails, re-enable it in dconf-editor
[08:05] <athene_noctua> KI7MT: Ah, I think I see it. I should just be able to manually mount it to /media or /whateverelse then . . .
[08:07] <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.
[08:09] <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.
[08:10] <KI7MT> atmosx: you could have a look at: ufw off .. man ufw has more options.
[08:11] <atmosx> KI7MT: interesting, I'll take a look to /etc/rsyslog. Thanks for the hint.
[08:11] <atmosx> bb
[08:16] <AK-47-T> hey see this http://www.mepis.org come to irc EFNET #mepis for support
[08:16] <AK-47-T> :)
[08:17] <AK-47-T> have u guys try it
[08:17] <illreal> aye
[08:17] <cfhowlett> AK-47-T, ?  what has this to do with ubuntu?  if you need mepis support, by all means go there
[08:17] <illreal> wtf
[08:18] <AK-47-T> because ubuntu sux
[08:18] <AK-47-T> mepis is nice
[08:18] <AK-47-T> :)
[08:18] <KI7MT> well, permission granted to de-part #ubuntu then AK-47-T
[08:19]  * cfhowlett adds one more name to the list of useful idiots ...
[08:19] <illreal> who wants to wrestle?
[08:19] <AK-47-T> hahaha u guys are just jealous
[08:19] <AK-47-T> see ya
[08:29] <BlackDex> Hello there... i have a rc-6 IR which works with ir-keytable
[08:29] <BlackDex> volume up and down is working
[08:30] <BlackDex> but if i press the mute button
[08:30] <BlackDex> i can't restore the volume
[08:31] <muchdoge> Ok. What is the command to install a .run program I have installed? I tried just clicking on it, but it says I must run it as a super user.
[08:31] <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
[08:32] <KI7MT> BlackDex: not an expert on this, but may want to have a read through this one if you've not done so already: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073948
[08:32] <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 :)
[08:33] <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!
[08:35] <KI7MT> hmmm fergot about sudo on that one, whoops :-)
[08:38] <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
[08:40] <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
[08:41] <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.
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <KI7MT> muchdoge: correct instructions: sudo ./amd-catalyst-13.11-beta  then  sudo install./v9.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run
[08:44] <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...
[08:45] <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 :-)
[08:46] <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?
[08:47] <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
[08:48] <BlackDex> ah.. i have found the problem... it is amixer which is broken
[08:48] <BlackDex> it mutes everything for some reason
[08:49] <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
[08:50] <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
[08:51] <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
[08:52] <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] <llutz> kkkkk1: if someone told you, linux is a perfect OS for everyone/every task, he lied. now please take your rants to another channel, this is the ubuntu-support channel only
[08:52] <cfhowlett> kkkkk1, "should be"  ... I "should be" a millionaire and married to a playboy centerfold but ... I aint'
[08:52] <cfhowlett> !osalt
[08:53] <KI7MT> kkkkk1: also, when buying harware, it would be wise to check the supported hardware for the distrobution inf queston: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/hardware-supported.html
[08:53] <cfhowlett> www.osalt.org will give you a list of good opensource alternatives to windows.
[08:53] <kkkkk1> cfhowlett: laptop hardware is working but what about wireless devices, bluetooth etc
[08:53] <kkkkk1> they work on some standards, like 8.0. something
[08:54] <cfhowlett> kkkkk1, we are done.  take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:54] <KI7MT> kkkkk1: additional resources: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/

[08:54] <cfhowlett> !ot
[08:54] <kkkkk1> thanks, cfhowlett
[08:54] <somsip> cfhowlett: you need to review osalt.org...
[08:55] <cfhowlett> somsip, ?  eh?
[08:55] <kkkkk1> better to invest some money or download from torrent and save your time
[08:55] <somsip> cfhowlett: the link (from here) is nothing to do with opensource

[08:57] <cfhowlett> KI7MT, and we're all waiting for you to share this tidbit ...
[08:57] <the_drow> Hi guys, I accidently deleted /usr/local/lib/ How do I restore it?
[08:58] <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] <somsip> the_drow: but it may all be a bit ugly for you...
[08:59] <Bray90820> Is there a way to run a script after a bluetooth device is connected
[09:00] <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
[09:01] <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*
[09:02] <KI7MT> that could be ugly
[09:03] <the_drow> Why the hell am I allowed to do that without warning :P
[09:04] <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.
[09:05] <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
[09:06] <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.
[09:07] <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.
[09:08] <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).
[09:09] <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.
[09:10] <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
[09:11] <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
[09:12] <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.
[09:13] <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
[09:14] <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
[09:15] <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
[09:16] <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
[09:17] <llutz> gry: check the list of removed packages carefully
[09:17] <llutz> gry: _before_ pressing Y
[09:18] <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
[09:19] <gry> How do I use the backup thing? Command not found.
[09:19] <llutz> gry: dpkg --get-selections >~/mypackages.list
[09:20] <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
[09:21] <Rory> you want to uninstall libpython3.2?
[09:22] <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.
[09:23] <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.
[09:24] <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
[09:25] <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
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <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
[09:29] <dipedup0> When is Ubuntu phone going to hit metro pcs
[09:29] <Rory> !touch
[09:29] <cfhowlett> !phone
[09:29] <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.
[09:32] <dipedup0> gry: why remove them. Just leave them.
[09:33] <dipedup0> cfhowlett: they have long way to catch Google android.
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <Rory> dipedup0: Similar to Google and its Nexus phones
[09:36] <Beldar> dipedup0, This is support not your blog on the ubuntu touch.
[09:37] <llutz> dipedup0: stop sending insulting PMs pls or i'm going to tell your parents
[09:37] <Bai11> ls
[09:38] <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] <gry> dipedup0: I know, without mentioning names, a mobile OS which invested in really simple hardware to boost interest from developers and shape a rich-featured OS.
[09:38] <Voi> why does my env variable disappear when i close shell?
[09:39] <gry> Voi: you didn't export it in your .bashrc.
[09:40] <Voi> how do i find that .bashrc file?
[09:40] <llutz> Voi: ~/.bashrc
[09:40] <Voi> per shell command
[09:41] <dipedup0> gry: names are okay.
[09:41] <MonkeyDust> Voi  nano ~/.bashrc   <-- mind the dot
[09:42] <ArunC> Hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 13.10 and I'm trying to clone a repo which is served from other linux box (RHEL 6). I get "abort: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden"
[09:42] <ArunC> Any idea whats going wrong?
[09:43] <llutz> !ops | dipedup0 sending insulting PMs repeatetly
[09:43] <ArunC> BTW, the repo is a mercurial repo.
[09:43] <Rory> llutz: Could just ignore him in your client then you won't get them
[09:43] <Voi> agh got it! thanks! how come when i type env i get so many variables, but my .bashrc is emptry?
[09:43] <Voi> empty*
[09:43] <llutz> Rory: sure, still a behaviour not acceptable here
[09:43] <Rory> Voi: There's a set of default environmental variables
[09:43] <dipedup0> ArunC: why not use community repo.
[09:44] <Rory> llutz: More a matter for Freenode staff than this channel's ops
[09:44] <Voi> ok thanks Rory
[09:44] <ArunC> dipedup0: doesn't matter which repo, the clone is failing.
[09:44] <Rory> dipedup0: I think you misunderstand, not a repo like apt or yum, a repo like mercurial, svn or git
[09:44] <dipedup0> ArunC: why not use community repo.
[09:45] <ArunC> Rory: Thanks for that.
[09:45] <Rory> !behelpful | dipedup0
[09:46] <ArunC> Rory: I just tried to serv from ubuntu and to clone on the RHEL. It works fine. I'm able to serv to other boxes.
[09:46] <ArunC> Looks like only clone/push/pull is the problem. Serv is not.
[09:46] <dipedup0> Rory: I am not joking
[09:47] <MrDyne> Any https connection at my sub.domain defaults to my only :433 https entry in my Apache vhosts which is my private wiki setup with a self signed ssl. I only want https://privatewiki.domain to load the wiki. I don't want any other https://*.domain to load the wiki. How do I make Apache not default all https to the wiki subdomain.
[09:50] <MonkeyDust> MrDyne  is that on a server? if yes: there's also #ubuntu-server
[09:50] <MrDyne> Ok
[09:52] <we6jbo> Can I have my audio from one computer streamed to another computer on a LAN?
[09:52] <Symmetria> *hrm* anyone know if there is a live cd that has built in nvidia drivers?
[09:53] <gordonjcp> we6jbo: yes, kind of
[09:53] <Symmetria> I really wanna see if linux can drive my modified setup but I wanna do it on a live cd rather than a complete install just to test incase it doesnt work
[09:53] <gordonjcp> we6jbo: do you mean playing back files from one PC on another, or actually piping audio from one to another
[09:54] <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
[09:55] <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
[09:56] <xmetal> turns out some needed package (I think i have this right) Unity-scope-home was not installed
[09:56] <we6jbo> 73
[09:56] <we6jbo> 73 gordonjcp
[09:56] <gordonjcp> we6jbo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#PulseAudio_over_network
[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
[09:57] <MonkeyDust> gster  what was the exact fdisk command?
[10:01] <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"
[10:02] <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
[10:05] <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?
[10:06] <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
[10:07] <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
[10:08] <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 ..
[10:09] <cfhowlett> Clever_Ideot, greetings
[10:09] <gry> Hello.
[10:09] <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
[10:11] <Clever_Ideot> do u guys know a Marc Daslauriers ??
[10:11] <gry> No. But what with him, and what error?
[10:11] <Clever_Ideot> Get:1 Changelog for php-pear (http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/p/php5/php5_5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9/changelog) [194 kB] php5 (5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9) precise-security; urgency=low    * SECURITY UPDATE: denial of service and possible code execution via     malicious certificate     - debian/patches/CVE-2013-6420.patch: properly validate timestr in       ext/openssl/openssl.c, added ext/openssl/tests/cve-2013-6420.*.     - CV
[10:11] <xmetal> :) fixed the issue
[10:12] <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.
[10:13] <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
[10:14] <Rory> OK, can you please show me the full output of "sudo apt-get install php5-cli" on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[10:14] <Clever_Ideot> has there been any other reports of the same issue??
[10:15] <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
[10:16] <Clever_Ideot> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6628389/
[10:17] <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
[10:18] <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
[10:19] <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
[10:20] <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
[10:21] <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
[10:22] <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
[10:23] <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.
[10:24] <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?
[10:25] <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
[10:26] <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.
[10:27] <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) ?
[10:28] <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?
[10:29] <[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> ...
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <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.
[10:32] <[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
[10:33] <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] <[Gentoo]> newworldorder: i guess you come from windows + ccleaner?
[10:33] <newworldorder> [Gentoo], no

[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
[10:35] <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.
[10:36] <Clever_Ideot> what are listchanges
[10:36] <newworldorder> http://askubuntu.com/questions/51265/where-is-var-log-messages
[10:37] <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
[10:38] <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
[10:39] <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
[10:40] <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
[10:42] <newworldorder> KI7MT, yes
[10:42] <Clever_Ideot> u ever get the feelin someone's watchin u ..
[10:42] <Rory> lmao gordonjcp
[10:43] <[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?
[10:44] <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
[10:45] <bekks> !ops | Clever_Ideot you you please finally stop the offtopic
[10:45] <Rory> vmuser: If it's a production machine you'll have to notify users of planned maintanance
[10:45] <bekks> vmuser: Clean up space more likely :)
[10:45] <newworldorder> Is it possible to create an Kubuntu live stick from an Ubuntu system?
[10:46] <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
[10:47] <Clever_Ideot> ok, changelogs removed
[10:47] <vmuser> Rory, sure
[10:47] <vmuser> bekks, yea I wonder where does 40 GBs are
[10:48] <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
[10:49] <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
[10:50] <matrixa1> if I get it working, I'll share :)
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> matrixa1: wow that looks decent eyecandy mate
[10:51] <MonkeyDust> for screencasts, not for production machines
[10:54] <vmuser> didn't think that it was possible to eat up 14gb in /var/lib
[10:55] <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
[10:56] <lotuspsychje> firefox cache can eat lot aswell
[10:57] <vmuser> Rory, nope vmware
[10:57] <vmuser> wtf
[10:57] <aliendough> hi folks, i'm having a few problems with ubuntu 12.04 on a VPS.  I went to install a GUI but haven't got very far.  When I try to upgrade my packages I get the message"E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/"    I then type in df-H and I get this result - http://pastebin.com/3qB1aQhP   Woudl anyone have any ideas?
[10:57] <vmuser> omg, someone has created a shared vm there :D :D
[10:57] <Rory> aliendough: What does the message say again?
[10:58] <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     ..
[10:59] <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] <lotuspsychje> !es | r0ber
[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
[11:00] <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
[11:01] <aliendough> Rory: http://pastebin.com/J4Bq6fiA
[11:02] <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
[11:03] <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
[11:04] <Rory> aliendough: That almost certainly isn't something you did though, it looks like it was set up wrong
[11:06] <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?
[11:07] <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
[11:08] <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] <vool> hello, I cannot connect to freenode with Xchat or Quassel. xchat says "Connection failed. Error: Network is unreachable" and Quassel says "Connection failure: Connection refused
[11:09] <aliendough> thanks, Rory
[11:09] <aliendough> i'm doing a fresh build
[11:09] <bekks> !language | Clever_Ideot
[11:09] <vool> I can only use chatzilla
[11:09] <Clever_Ideot> yes sir
[11:09] <Rory> vool: Do you use a proxy?
[11:09] <Clever_Ideot> I'm .. sorry
[11:09] <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 ?
[11:10] <LinuxKilledMe> looked* excuse my french
[11:11] <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?
[11:12] <Rory> vool: Try without a secure connection, see if that works
[11:12] <lotuspsychje> vool: you spelled the correct network adress of freenode?
[11:13] <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] <bekks> vool: No, wifi isnt the reason.
[11:13] <vool> is there a way to circumvent this problem?
[11:14] <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?
[11:15] <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
[11:16] <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)
[11:17] <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
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> bray90820: been able to fix that apple mouse yet?
[11:19] <bray90820> i kinda gave up
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <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
[11:22] <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
[11:23] <bray90820> yes
[11:23] <bray90820> but what really matters is that it's bluetooth
[11:23] <lotuspsychje> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicMouse
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> bray90820  then automate that
[11:25] <bray90820> it actually works if i don't run the script but not well
[11:26] <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
[11:27] <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
[11:30] <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
[11:31] <Rory> !nomodeset | LinuxKilledMe
[11:32] <LinuxKilledMe> Rory:  thks alot !
[11:40] <LinuxKilledMe> is there a way to access my hard drive ubuntu prompt through the live cd ?
[11:40] <slax0r> mount it and chroot into it
[11:40] <Rory> LinuxKilledMe: An easier way would be, instead of booting from the Live CD< hold Shift while your normal Ubuntu boots, then boot to Recovery mode
[11:41] <LinuxKilledMe> thks again
[11:42] <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?
[11:43] <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
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> aleksejs_  try deluge
[11:46] <Rory> +1 for deluge, it's the most similar to utorrent imo
[11:47] <aleksejs_> thanks, I'll try
[11:48] <aleksejs_> it seems that deluge doesn't know how to import existing torrent :(
[11:49] <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.
[11:50] <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
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> aleksejs_  i guess deluge knows, but you have to find out how
[11:54] <Turingi> so if the hard disk runs out of space that can trigger a kernel panic on boot?
[11:54] <Turingi> using ubuntu server 12.04.3
[11:54] <cfhowlett> Turingi, of course
[11:54] <hellyeah> hey
[11:55] <hellyeah> what was the name of firewall that ubuntu used
[11:55] <cfhowlett> !ufw
[11:56] <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
[11:57] <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
[12:00] <aleksejs_> hmm
[12:00] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, some torrents make their own directory where you d/l it
[12:00] <efe_> hello
[12:00] <cfhowlett> efe, greetings
[12:00] <aleksejs_> I have a partition for downloads, mounted as /data
[12:01] <aleksejs_> and I chosen this partition to download to
[12:01] <efe_> thanks
[12:01] <efe_> I need your help
[12:01] <lotuspsychje> !ask | efe_
[12:01] <aleksejs_> but Deluge decided to download it to ~/
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> aleksejs_  yes, you can change that in the settings
[12:02] <lenz> Hey there! I am on 12.04 and I am using a ATI Radeon HD 3450 graphics card. How do I install the proprietary driver?
[12:02]  * lotuspsychje likes transmission
[12:02] <aleksejs_> I chosed download destination when I added torrent
[12:02] <lotuspsychje> !ati | lenz
[12:03] <efe_> ok, sorry. I am new to OS, and a c/c++ programmer. I wanna join this community. I really dont know where to start from. I am new to ubuntu and need your help and guidance
[12:03] <cummseng> is it possible to make the unity bar only show icons which are open on the current screen? (i have dual screens)
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> aleksejs_  edit > preferences > downloads
[12:03] <ice9> is there a pastebin for pics?
[12:03] <cfhowlett> !contribute|efe,
[12:03] <aleksejs_> hmm, I guess I know where's a problem
[12:03] <lotuspsychje> efe_: you want to help develope?
[12:03] <lotuspsychje> ice9: tinypic?
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> or imagebin
[12:04] <efe_> thanks. Yes I do wanna help develop
[12:04] <lotuspsychje> efe_: #ubuntu-devel
[12:05] <lenz> lotus, according to AMD, I need to install the legacy driver. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=Legacy2&os=Linux%20x86_64
[12:05] <lenz> lotuspsychje, , according to AMD, I need to install the legacy driver. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=Legacy2&os=Linux%20x86_64
[12:05] <lenz> It seems to be only supported up to kernel 3.4. 12.04 uses 3.8...
[12:06] <lotuspsychje> lenz: did you check your 'additional drivers' section if any driver list up?
[12:06] <efe_> Thanks friends, lemme go and check the links u sent me
[12:07] <LinuxKilledMe> So Im back. I edited the grub file. Put nomodeset where i had to put it. Now kubuntu freeze at startup. Any hints ?
[12:08] <lenz> lotuspsychje, nothing shows up.
[12:08] <lotuspsychje> merry xmass to all: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6628415/
[12:09] <ObrienDave> Bah, Humbug. ;))
[12:09] <ice9> after i installed gnome-shell from it's repo and installed gedit source to fix a bug, fonts inside gedit now are blured like this pic http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=msn2ia&s=5
[12:10] <aleksejs_> finally!
[12:11] <ObrienDave> !yay | aleksejs_
[12:11] <ianmac1> On which day in April will 14.04 be released? Does Canonical stick to a prticular day?
[12:11] <dv-> when it's ready
[12:11] <ObrienDave> ianmac1, no, not really
[12:11] <aleksejs_> it seems that Deluge ignores manually chosen download location
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> ianmac1  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule
[12:11] <ianmac1> MonkeyDust: Ah, thanks!
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> ianmac1  mind: there are 24 timezones
[12:12] <ianmac1> oh, right
[12:12] <aleksejs_> when I added /data as default location in settings, it started to work right
[12:12] <cfhowlett> ianmac1, when it's done
[12:12] <cfhowlett> :)
[12:12] <aleksejs_> let's see if seeding will work
[12:13] <ianmac1> cfhowlett: it's often done long before it's actually released :)
[12:13] <aleksejs_> no, it doesn't :(
[12:16] <linu1> is there any command to record an audio with mplayer in command line?
[12:16] <dv-> use ffmpeg
[12:18] <ObrienDave> MonkeyDust, according to: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone.htm, there are 34 time zones associated with a location. 35 if you include UTC (zulu time)
[12:19] <linu1> dv- it is working but is there any options in mplayer/
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> ObrienDave  that cerntainly proves, the earth is a sphere :p
[12:20] <ObrienDave> yes sir, it does ;P
[12:22] <aleksejs_> it's interesting that there's no time zone assigned to the north pole
[12:24] <ObrienDave> hmm, i would think they would use zulu time. i dunno
[12:26] <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
[12:28] <aleksejs_> back to my problem: still nothing is seeded :(
[12:28] <a6h3nd9> im having trouble getting vega to scan a tor website
[12:28] <a6h3nd9> it keeps coming up with a network error
[12:30] <ice9> after i installed gnome-shell from it's repo and installed gedit source to fix a bug, fonts inside gedit now are blured like this pic http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=msn2ia&s=5
[12:31] <aleksejs_> now I've added another torrent which is not downloaded yet, and it seeds now, but I guess it will stop seeding once download is finished
[12:32] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, it won't seed if no one is requesting that particular file
[12:33] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, what are your deluge bandwidth settings?
[12:33] <a6h3nd9> ?
[12:34] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, -1
[12:34] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, should be something like this: http://i.imgur.com/yct2Lly.png
[12:35] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, it's something like this
[12:38] <cfhowlett> a6h3nd9, just for fun, assume no one knows what a vega is or what you're talking about and explain further.
[12:39] <ObrienDave> lol
[12:40] <cm13g09> argh - this is annoying - trying to get pam_mount to play ball with a cifs share.  mount needs to run as the user to get the user's krb5 credentials, but yet according to mount "Only root can do that" when I specify noroot=1
[12:40] <cm13g09> Anyone got any pointers?
[12:43] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, have you tested the seeding with some popular ISO, like ubuntu 13.10?
[12:44] <adas> hi I need help with installing a program. I downloaded rtorrent-0.9.2.tar.gz from http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/  , how do I install this?
[12:44] <aleksejs_> hmmm
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> adas  rtorrent is in the repos
[12:45] <aleksejs_> those torrents that are downloaded with deluge, still are seeding
[12:45] <adas> MonkeyDust:  I get older version from repo..
[12:45] <aleksejs_> but those that were already downloaded, are not seeding
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> !info rtorrent
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> adas  looks the same or newer to me
[12:46] <adas> what version do u have MonkeyDust
[12:46] <aleksejs_> restarted deluge, and now nothing is seeding
[12:47] <MonkeyDust> adas  ubuntu 12.04.3
[12:47] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, give it a minute to show up in the trackers
[12:47] <adas> MonkeyDust: i mena of rtorrent
[12:47] <MonkeyDust> !info rtorrent | adas
[12:48] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, it shows only one peer for each torrent
[12:48] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, that's quite possible
[12:49] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, but i'm quite sure it's not true
[12:50] <aleksejs_> 1. it shows 1 seed for EACH torrent; 2. at the same time, there are thousands of seeds
[12:50] <aleksejs_> s/seed/peer
[12:51] <aleksejs_> could it be something with network configuration?
[12:51] <efe> I have a problem with my ubuntu login page. I wanna report this to community. can anyone help me??
[12:51] <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] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, not few, but only one
[12:52] <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
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <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?
[12:55] <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
[12:56] <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
[12:57] <aleksejs_> I'm 110% sure this is not a normal behaviour
[12:57] <j4n6> id love to be able to use elantech trackpoint tool but it says not supported
[12:58] <irhass> ls
[12:58] <irhass> sa
[12:59] <efe> I also wanna report this bug by using QA team, im a member there, but i dont know how to do it. Please guide me
[13:00] <cfhowlett> !bug
[13:01] <ageng> !list
[13:01] <irhass> anyone knew bout LSTP
[13:01] <ageng> !bot
[13:01] <cfhowlett> irhass, LTSP??
[13:01] <cfhowlett> !LTSP
[13:02] <efe> what about my problem???? Is there any way to solve it??
[13:02] <irhass> waht is thin client?
[13:02] <efe> Problem is :  I have problem 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.

[13:02] <cfhowlett> irhass, go to the wiki and read.  that's why the bot sent it to you
[13:02] <adas> MonkeyDust:  how do I check the version of my rtorrent?
[13:03] <MonkeyDust> adas  apt-cache policy rtorrent
[13:03] <efe> irhass : thin client is a app that most process isnt done on client side, instead on serverside
[13:03] <craigbass1976> I've got a kid with a laptop.  I've set up a directory on a web server so that he can load up the directory as a local one (sshfs user@remte-box/dir/ local/dir/) and it works fine he he types his password correctly.  If he doesn't though, it sort of half mounts, or at least hoses the process so that he can't do it again.  I have to, as root, umount the local dir
[13:04] <adas> 0.8.9-2 MonkeyDust
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> adas  and cat /etc/issue   what does it say?
[13:05] <adas> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l
[13:05] <efe> helppppppp meeeeee
[13:05] <chithira> hai guys,, I need a help over here
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> adas  good, same as I, try the !backports if you want a newer rtorrent version, 13.10 has 0.9.2
[13:06] <toni___> hola
[13:06] <chithira> I am having a ubuntu 13.10 USB is it possible to install ubuntu by replacing windows without loosing my windows disk partitions and its files ? I mean, I want to replace windows but wanna keep the partitions C: D: E: and the files inside it. Can anyone help me ?
[13:06] <adas> !backports
[13:07] <cfhowlett> efe, word to the wise; read more.  the bot sent a link telling you how to report a bug.  and screaming helppppp meeeee is the quickest way I know to get ignored.
[13:07] <cfhowlett> !patience|efe
[13:07] <cfhowlett> !details|chithira,
[13:08] <adas> MonkeyDust: do u know a way to install with the tar file?
[13:08] <efe> ok ok, sorry, I am new here
[13:08] <vmuser> what was the dpkg command to show files installed by package?
[13:08] <vmuser> --listfiles?
[13:08] <efe> I even didnt know what is ubottu
[13:08] <cfhowlett> vmuser, dpkg -l will list all    dpkg -l | grep packagename will specify
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> adas  tar -x    to extract the file
[13:08] <cfhowlett> !bot|efe
[13:09] <adas> MonkeyDust:  yes, and after :P?
[13:09] <cummseng> is it possible to make the unity bar only show icons which are open on the current screen? (i have dual screens)
[13:09] <chithira> Now I am running windows7. My question is.. is it possible to replace windows with ubunty by keeping all the hard disk partitions and its files ?
[13:09] <irhass> my linux mint can't connect a projector , should i  change the xrandr setting?
[13:10] <cfhowlett> !mint|irhass,
[13:10] <cfhowlett> chithira, not sure what you mean; keep the windows partitions?
[13:10] <V1TSK> chithira: you must format at least one partition to ext4 fs
[13:11] <chithira> Brother.. I mean
[13:11] <chithira> i have windows 7 now.
[13:11] <cfhowlett> chithira, perhaps if you restate the question with some clarity ...
[13:11] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, I've found out that there's something interesting with upnp settings @my wireless router
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <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] <Mark_de_J> hey
[13:12] <cfhowlett> Mark_de_J, greetings
[13:12] <irhass> hope Ubuntu Touch will support MediaTek devices
[13:12] <Mark_de_J> I got again a problemmo.
[13:12] <vmuser> cfhowlett, 10x
[13:13] <chithira> and my hard disk partitians are C, D and E.. in C I installed windows. Now I want to uninstall windows and replace it with ubuntu. I dont care about the C drive. But I have to keep the files in D and E
[13:13] <Mark_de_J> Yesterday I did this to stop my network problem: [19:09] <imghost>  Sudo service network-manager restart [19:09] <Mark_de_j> and then? [19:09] <Mark_de_j> Is everything back to default? [19:10] <imghost> No then use sudo dpkg-reconfigure network-manager
[13:13] <Mark_de_J> But now it takes very long before I got internet.
[13:13] <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
[13:14] <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 ?
[13:15] <vmuser> how can I track from where an application is taking it's icon?
[13:16] <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

[13:58] <hadifarnoud> it still asks for password
[13:59] <bmarley> ye that s right
[13:59] <hadifarnoud> bmarley: any idea why it still ask for password then?
[14:00] <hadifarnoud> bmarley: I had another pub key and it works just fine. new one doesn't though

[14:19] <leo_> hi, i'm currently having a lot of problems trying to make my nvidia GT 740m work
[14:19] <leo_> can anyone help?
[14:20] <leo_> i've tried every single post i found on askubuntu
[14:20] <route_access> whois gbence

[14:28] <Xeno-Genesis> Hello, I'm having trouble with my Intel graphics chip and multiple displays.
[14:28] <Xeno-Genesis> The laptop is refusing to recognize the position that I've set for the monitors. It keeps putting my laptop screen to the left.
[14:28] <Ycarene> I'm trying to compile a program and it's throwing out  "Object gtk-config' not found in defined platform paths!", I've got the dev packages for libgtk installed (for both version)
[14:30] <Ycarene> Or is it bad to ask that here?
[14:31] <donta> I am trying to redirect example.com --> www.example.com on my server except that when I do I get a 403, I understand that I need to setup 2 vhosts on my server one for example.com and another for www.example.com do I need to have a full config on both or just activate the host with a2ensite?
[14:31] <cfhowlett> Ycarene, easy to ask, hard to get an answer as this is not necessarily  a coding channel.
[14:32] <donta> this is the redirect I'm using: http://pastebin.centos.org/6866/
[14:33] <Ycarene> cfhowlett - Well, I'm not really looking for coding advice, I just need to know what package has gtk-config in it.
[14:34] <Ycarene> cfhowlett - because it's not in either libgtk3-dev or libgtk2-dev
[14:34] <cfhowlett> Ycarene, try dpgk -l | grep gtk-config
[14:35] <hggdh> or apt-file search gtk-config. But I am guessing this is not the name of the file
[14:35] <AlecTaylor> hi
[14:35] <cfhowlett> AlecTaylor, greetings
[14:36] <AlecTaylor> In Canonical Upstart, can I specify environmental variables with $FOO/bar syntax inside .conf files?
[14:38] <MonkeyDust_> !upstart | AlecTaylor start here
[14:39] <AlecTaylor> MonkeyDust_: Looking through examples on http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ - Looks like it works!
[14:39] <AlecTaylor> Thanks
[14:40] <chrispecoraro> Anybody have any luck installing 13.10 on a MacBook Pro?
[14:41] <OerHeks> chrispecoraro, some did > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[14:41] <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.
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <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] <[Gentoo]> http://l3net.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/a-memory-comparison-of-light-linux-desktops/
[14:45] <chrispecoraro> My goal is to install it as a partition.
[14:45] <chrispecoraro> Apple sucks for many reasons as a developer computer used to linux.
[14:46] <chrispecoraro> (the OS)
[14:46] <Rory> chrispecoraro: If you do, don't forget you can switch between x/l/ubuntu very easily, you don't have to just pick one
[14:46] <chrispecoraro> Right, in fact I have unity and lubuntu installed
[14:46] <vmuser> is there a dedicated channel for openstack questions?
[14:47] <craigbass1976> I've got a kid with a laptop.  I've set up a directory on a web server so that he can load up the directory as a local one (sshfs user@remte-box/dir/ local/dir/) and it works fine if he types his password correctly.

[14:50] <sideone> hey all. i had a linux box that had openvpn installed. i have just removed the pakage and disabled the rc.d scripts. I still see a br0 being created, but do not have any tun interfaces anymore. This box is running from a vm guest, but i only have a single nic allocated to the box. How can i stop the creation of the br0 interface?
[14:51] <sideone> if i use brctl delbr, the interface is created again on boot.
[14:51] <sideone> also interfaces, does not show an int for br0

[14:53] <chrispecoraro> if it works!
[14:53] <chrispecoraro> I've read that it's more difficult..DANG APPLE!!!
[14:53] <cfhowlett> chrispecoraro, that is definitely an old tutorial.  REFIT is no longer developed/maintained.  ReFIND is the new multiboot manager
[14:56] <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 ?
[14:57] <chrispecoraro> cfhowlett: I just need to be sure that there is no chance that my Apple OSX partition will be changed or damaged.
[14:57] <MonkeyDust_> phelix  make sure you use full paths, no shortcuts like ~ or ../
[14:57] <phelix> MonkeyDust_> Yea, everything has a full pathto it
[14:58] <cfhowlett> chrispecoraro, I can't speak to that as I have zero experience.  sorry
[14:58] <phelix> 0 * * * * /usr/bin/drush -d scr --uri=boisechamber.dev.tributemedia.com /var/aegir/platforms/aegir01/dev-7.24/sites/boisechamber.dev.tributemedia.com/import_nodes.php > /var/aegir/platforms/aegir01/dev-7.24/sites/boisechamber.dev.tributemedia.com/cron.log
[14:58] <phelix> this is my line
[14:58] <phelix> if i paste that in the term it runs perfectly fine
[14:58] <MonkeyDust_> phelix  the 0 bothers me, what's it suppsed to do?
[14:59] <phelix> runs at the beginning of every hour
[14:59] <phelix> 4:00 - 5:00 etc
[14:59] <shreezbot_> How can I determine what is using a filesystem on my machine?  I'm trying to umount it, and it won't let me because it is in use, but it is empty, so I can't tell what would be using it...
[14:59] <jstnc> lsof
[15:02] <chrispecoraro> shreezbot_: are you IN the directory?
[15:03] <aliendou_> hi folks - i am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64 on a VPS and would like to install a GUI desktop.  would you recommend i install xfce as a lightweight option?
[15:03] <synmuffin> hey all is there a way to limit specific clients (by ip) that can query my dnsmasq service? like a whitelist or something?
[15:03] <cfhowlett> aliendou_, absolutely
[15:03] <aliendou_> fantastic!
[15:04] <aliendou_> ok, i have done all upgrades and updates.  do i need to run the     sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   first?
[15:04] <shreezbot_> chrispecoraro, No, I'm not in the directory.  I had already made that mistake...  :)
[15:04] <MonkeyDust_> aliendou_  no, use xubuntu-desktop
[15:04] <aliendou_> ahhh
[15:04] <aliendou_> sudo apt-get install xfce4
[15:04] <aliendou_> oops
[15:05] <cfhowlett> LOL
[15:06] <aliendou_> installing xubuntu now
[15:06] <aliendou_> thanks MonkeyDust_
[15:06] <aleksejs_> I find kubuntu-desktop more stable than xubuntu-desktop
[15:07] <trisquelgnu> is it possible to install windows on a machine that already has ubuntu pre installed and let both the system coexist?
[15:07] <aleksejs_> yes
[15:07] <cfhowlett> trisquelgnu, sure.  you'll need to set up the bootloader thought
[15:07] <cfhowlett> *though*
[15:08] <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] <trisquelgnu> cfhowlett: how
[15:08] <cfhowlett> trisquelgnu, windows WILL wipe your bootloader so be ready to reinistall grub
[15:08] <cfhowlett> !grub
[15:08] <trisquelgnu> MonkeyDust_: yes but can it not be corrected?
[15:08] <MonkeyDust_> trisquelgnu  sure, see what ubottu says, but it's a pain, you'll get frustrated and think ubuntu is no good
[15:09] <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
[15:11] <dharani_sahu> hi is there any way for speeding up the system
[15:12] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, define "speeding up"
[15:12] <dharani_sahu> im a developer so usually there is eclipse running along with some local servers
[15:12] <trijntje> dharani_sahu: that depends on what is slowing it down
[15:12] <bsdtux> Hey everyone does anyone have much experience with bumblebee. I am having problems getting optirun glxgears to run. Keeps telling me Failed to initialize the nvidia gpu
[15:13] <nikow> Why ubuntu 13 don't have /tmp in tmpfs by default?
[15:13] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, eclipse is slow as hell, try another ide
[15:13] <nikow> bsdtux, Turn on your graphic card
[15:13] <nikow> bsdtux, It's disabled
[15:13] <dharani_sahu> can you suggest some ides which are fast enough
[15:13] <bsdtux> Ok stupid question. How do I do that. I have checked the bios. It is an Asus laptop
[15:13] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, it depends on purpose
[15:14] <bsdtux> Q550L
[15:14] <aleksejs_> are you web developer? language?
[15:14] <bsdtux> is the model
[15:14] <dharani_sahu> yes im a web developer with java and python along with javascript
[15:15] <aleksejs_> for py/js, vim with some plugins will be enough, but not for java
[15:15] <leo_> dharani_sahu: try komodo-edit
[15:15] <leo_> bsdtux: which gpu do you have?
[15:15] <aleksejs_> maybe netbeans will be better choice
[15:16] <huttan-> dharani_sahu: sublime text 2
[15:16] <aleksejs_> also, you can try disabling JS validation in elipse
[15:16] <bsdtux> I have an Intel Haswell and Nvidia GT 745 M
[15:16] <Lucid_Lynx> Hi there, i found the german Wiki to be inconsistent when using terms like "Repositories, Archive " and "Paketquelle"..., so its confusing to me..
[15:16] <aleksejs_> siblime text 2 is also good choice, but it's not an IDE
[15:16] <leo_> i got the same problem here with an GT 740M
[15:16] <dharani_sahu> okay
[15:17] <leo_> i cant even put bbswitch to work
[15:17] <dharani_sahu> but what about auto complete
[15:17] <nikow> bsdtux, In general, tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON
[15:17] <nikow> should help.
[15:17] <bsdtux> good to know I am not the only one with problems. I have been banging my head against the wall for a week now
[15:17] <leo_> me too, i got a new dell and its a haswell with this gpu too
[15:17] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, autocomplete works in every ide, and in sublime/vim
[15:17] <leo_> a Vostro 5470
[15:17] <nikow> bsdtux, And propobly you must reload your nouveau driver
[15:18] <nikow> bsdtux, modprobe -r nouveau
[15:18] <nikow> modprobe nouveau
[15:18] <bsdtux> nikow says /proc/acpi/bbswitch No such file or directory
[15:18] <nikow> bsdtux, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
[15:18] <nikow> sudo apt-get update
[15:18] <dharani_sahu> aleksejs: i have tried vim but its using only commands
[15:18] <leo_> nikow: dmesg | grep -C 10 bbswitch:
[15:19] <nikow> sudo apt-get install bbswitch
[15:19] <dharani_sahu> and very hard to remember
[15:19] <leo_> bsdtux:
[15:19] <leo_> dmesg | grep -C 10 bbswitch:
[15:19] <nikow> Damn, sorry, i must go
[15:19] <nikow> it should work
[15:19] <nikow> its always working
[15:19] <nikow> you don't have bbswitch in general
[15:19] <leo_> i have
[15:19] <leo_> but it doesnt load
[15:19] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, there are gazillion of plugins for vim, and there are nice tutorials. Basically, you don;t need to remember vim commands, you need to understand vim logic
[15:19] <leo_> [ 1128.807856] bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.
[15:20] <bsdtux> I get unable to locate package bbswitch
[15:20] <dharani_sahu> aleksejs_: can you give some links for tutorials
[15:21] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, http://vim-adventures.com/ this one is nice
[15:21] <dharani_sahu> aleksejs_: thanks alot
[15:22] <ceq> What's the difference between installing ubuntu 12 via WUBI or just installing it via boot-CD on a seperate partition?
[15:23] <bsdtux> leo_:
[15:23] <bsdtux> dmesg showed that it failed to evaluted some things
[15:23] <leo_> bsdtux: i having the same issues
[15:23] <leo_> i cant even make bbswitch work :/
[15:24] <bsdtux> I just got bbswitch-source installed. Going to reboot and see if that does anything.
[15:29] <opensue> v
[15:29] <dipak> hello
[15:29] <opensue> ddd
[15:29] <opensue> sory
[15:30] <MonkeyDust_> opensue  it works, we see you
[15:30] <opensue> yes
[15:33] <Mitizaro> is there a way to
[15:33] <Mitizaro> create USB flashable for linux (like mint, ubuntu 12.04) when i'm under Debian 7.3
[15:34] <MonkeyDust_> Mitizaro  better ask in the debian channel, i guess
[15:34] <cfhowlett> Mitizaro, unetbootin ...
[15:35] <dipak> cfhowlett: unetbootin is for windows
[15:36] <Guest74546> unetbootin is for ubuntu, too
[15:36] <trijntje> dipak: thats not true, you can install unetbootin from the repository
[15:36] <Guest74546> /?
[15:36] <cfhowlett> dipak, read more, post less.  unetbootin runs on several OS
[15:37] <cfhowlett> bad poetry aside ...
[15:39] <dipak> cfhowlett: didn't knew that thanks for the info.
[15:39] <cfhowlett> dipak, no worries
[15:45] <Unovy> ...Hey
[15:45] <cfhowlett> Unovy, ho
[15:46] <Unovy> Hello

[15:49] <Unovy> I've updated my ubuntu with the lastest updates, and now my grub customizer is not working
[15:50] <ice9> what is the path to openjdk?
[15:51] <MonkeyDust_> ice9  in a terminal, type    which openjdk
[15:51] <bsdtux> leo_ I just tried to the acpi_hack for the lenovo's but that didn't help either
[15:52] <ice9> MonkeyDust_: I mean the JAVA_HOME path
[15:52] <cfhowlett> ice9, in your terminal    whereis openjdk
[15:53] <leo_> bsdtux: #bumblebee
[15:53] <glitsj16> ice9: echo $JAVA_HOME
[15:53] <ice9> glitsj16: it's not defined so I want to set it,  so I need to know where it's installed by apt-get
[15:54] <bsdtux> leo_ ok I am on there now
[15:54] <harushimo> I need to install multiple packages in apt-get.  what is command for it
[15:54] <leo_> bsdtux: there two gents there discussing our problem
[15:54] <harushimo> is it apt-get install package1, package2...etch
[15:55] <Pici> harushimo: apt-get install package1 package2 package3
[15:55] <cfhowlett> harushimo, sudo apt-get package1 package2 ...
[15:56] <ircuser12345> imghost, are you there?
[15:57] <glitsj16> ice9: okay, what did any of the other suggestions do? i run the oracle but i bet it's under /usr/lib/jvm somewhere
[15:57] <harushimo> thank you
[15:57] <imghost> ircuser12345, yes mate what's up?
[15:58] <glitsj16> Unovy: not very familiar with grub customizer, but does the grub menu show/work ok?
[15:58] <Unovy> Not actually, it crashes when it's loading
[15:58] <ircuser12345> imghost, thankyou for helping me now my usb wireless is working thanks alot
[15:59] <Unovy> Oh, you mean grub menu, yes, it is, but grub customizer stop working after I updated my ubuntu
[15:59] <imghost> ircuser12345, enjoy :)
[15:59] <glitsj16> Unovy: okay, at least you can boot into your system?
[15:59] <Unovy> Yes I can
[16:00] <kostkon> Unovy, is grub costumizer an app?
[16:00] <dipak> Unovy: try to run grub customizer as root
[16:01] <Unovy> Okay, I'll try to run as root
[16:02] <Unovy> Still crashing
[16:02] <Mitizaro> hey guys - is there automatic equivallent of Microsoft Visual Studio -- that translates sass into css without using ruby or typing to console eeevery type you start project.. :)
[16:03] <Mitizaro> someone?
[16:04] <linux> hmm
[16:06] <harushimo> anyone setup openstack on ubuntu?
[16:07] <yto> my notebook doesnt shutdown in ubuntu. anyone can help me?
[16:07] <glitsj16> Unovy: can you put the output of your regular grub customizer start command (so not running as root if this isn't regular) into paste.ubuntu.com? without some more info it's a shot in the dark..
[16:08] <harushimo> yto: whats going on?
[16:08] <yto> harushimo: my labtop doesnt shut down. can you help me?
[16:08] <nblavoie> happy holidays
[16:09] <dipak> yto: give more info
[16:09] <nblavoie> yto > CTRL + ALT + T then enter sudo reboot
[16:09] <harushimo> yto: do this command in terminal: sudo shutdown -h now.  It should shutdown
[16:09] <Unovy> You mean, the text is shown when I run grub-customizer from the terminal?
[16:10] <glitsj16> Unovy: correct, when you paste that into paste.ubuntu.com you'll get a URL, please post that here some the channel can see it
[16:11] <glitsj16> !pastebinit | Unovy
[16:11] <yto> harushimu: in ubunto when click on shut down display ubuntu logo with 4 dots but doesn shutdown and stop on it. i test sudo shutdown -h now and sudo shutdown -P now but doesnt work!
[16:13] <yto> harushimo: in ubuntu when click on shut down display ubuntu logo with 4 dots but doesn shutdown and stop on it. i test sudo shutdown -h now and sudo shutdown -P now but doesnt work!
[16:13] <aliendou_> hi folks, im trying to run the xfce4 desktop on ubuntu via a VPS and i get this message http://pastebin.com/cEiw9eYK  can anyone tell me what might be wrong please?
[16:14] <harushimo> yto: try a power cycle.  I think something getting caught when it is shutting down
[16:15] <glitsj16> Unovy: that output looks okay, except for the dbus error .. have you ran sudo update-grub after the updates ?
[16:16] <PatrickDickey> Hey everyone. I've got a weird question. I installed Ubuntu 13.10 using the server disc, and added a couple of desktops. Now, when I boot up, I get the Waiting for Network Configuration message, followed by the waiting up to 60 seconds for network configuration, and it fails. But, if I boot in Recovery Mode, I can start the network without a problem. I'm at a loss as to what to fix/check with this problem. I've checked /etc/network/in
[16:16] <SchrodingersScat> I'm running a pptpd server, and right now only one client is able to connect.  I get 'Could not open control connection to <server>' in syslog.
[16:17] <Unovy> I'll try to run, just a moment
[16:17] <dipak> Unovy: have you restarted the machine after update?
[16:17] <newatit> i need help on removing x.org
[16:17] <aliendou_> here is a better error message http://pastebin.com/WQ49UaW1
[16:17] <Rory> newatit: What are you hoping to achieve?
[16:18] <Rory> newatit: Turning a normal Ubuntu install into one with no display, like a server?
[16:18] <Unovy> Yes I restarted
[16:18] <newatit> is the x.org a virus?
[16:19] <leo_> newatit: nop, it's your display server
[16:19] <dipak> newatit: Why do you think so?
[16:19] <llutz> newatit: http://www.x.org/wiki/
[16:19] <PatrickDickey> ShrodingersScat is the server on ubuntu or just the client?
[16:19] <SchrodingersScat> PatrickDickey: both are ubuntu.
[16:19] <PatrickDickey> newatit, x.org is the organization behind the server that runs your desktop.
[16:20] <Rory> !xorg | newatit
[16:20] <Unovy> Okay, I've run sudo grub-update here. Now I'll try to run grub-customizer again
[16:20] <usermac> hello
[16:20] <newatit> ok now im confussed
[16:20] <SchrodingersScat> PatrickDickey: the client that can connect is xubuntu 13.10, then I have another xubuntu 13.10 that cannot connect, and my android device also could not connect while it has been able to in the past.
[16:21] <Rory> well newatit why don't you explain what problem you'e having? That would be a good place to start
[16:21] <glitsj16> Unovy: fine, show the channel the URL from pastebin again, i don't mind PM but than only i can see it, which is not the purpose, the more help you can get the bbetter right..
[16:21] <decci> We are a small school, and we've been running on Zentyal (Ubuntu) for each of our 5 years. It is time to retire our current server and put a new server in place.  We can install Zentyal on the server and set it up for remote access.   I want to achieve the following...  Configure Zentyal to support client authentication, and establish roaming profiles on all lab machines such that a student logging on to any machine on the network or 
[16:22] <decci> Any idea?
[16:22] <Rory> decci: Best not to mention you're not technically using Ubuntu in here
[16:22] <Rory> decci: The technology you want to research is called "ldap"
[16:22] <dipak> newatit: it's the display server that helps to display the OS user interface or any display related programs.
[16:22] <newatit> whats netpanzer?
[16:22] <PatrickDickey> decci, that sounds like something for Zentyal's support not so much ubuntu's.
[16:23] <dipak> newatit:a free open source online multiplayer tactical warfare game
[16:24] <newatit> ok.. i never downloaded that.. but it has tons of files in my computer..
[16:25] <PatrickDickey> newatit, if you downloaded one of the games that it hosts, that may be why. Honestly, I've never heard of it, so I can't be sure.
[16:25] <yto> harushimo: power cycle?
[16:25] <PatrickDickey> Actually newatit, are you talking about x.Org or netpanzer when you say you never downloaded it.
[16:26] <harushimo> yto: hold down power button until the laptop shut it off. It shouldn't take long
[16:26] <newatit> netpanzer..
[16:26] <Unovy> glitsj16: Here's the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/6629889/
[16:26] <Rory> newatit: What files are there from it on your comuter? you could try finding it in the Software Center and clicking Remove
[16:26] <PatrickDickey> newatit, you can remove it by running apt-get remove netpanzer then. Or remove it in Software Center.
[16:27] <glitsj16> Unovy: thanks, having a look
[16:27]  * PatrickDickey is a command line junkie...
[16:27] <newatit> how can i check if a file is legit or not? or how can i check my system?
[16:27] <yto> harushimo: ok . but  is  this true?
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <newatit> i dont have netpanzer installed in  software centr
[16:29] <glitsj16> Unovy: not really seeing anything that jumps out .. what version of ubuntu are you seeing this on?
[16:30] <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).
[16:31] <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
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <newatit> whats this --->>>  The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:   thunderbird-globalmenu gir1.2-ubuntuoneui-3.0 libubuntuoneui-3.0-1
[16:34] <harushimo> yto: it isn't clearing your memory
[16:34] <dipak> newatit: these files are already in your system.
[16:35] <PatrickDickey> Is anyone here comfortable with Network Manager? It crashes when I try to boot up normally, but it loads if I try to boot through Recovery mode.
[16:35] <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.
[16:36] <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 ..
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <Unovy> glitsj16: That's okay. It's saying that I've installed the "4.0.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1p" version
[16:39] <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?
[16:40] <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?
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <Unovy> glitsj16: Is there a possibility I've installed the wrong one?
[16:43] <glitsj16> Unovy: yeah, those are for different versions of ubuntu
[16:44] <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) ..
[16:45] <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
[16:46] <Unovy> glitsj16: Oh... I see. I'll try to find a way to contact the maintainer about this issue
[16:48] <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
[16:49] <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...
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <pyrobisqit> I would have to boot it in BIOS mode apparenttly
[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.
[16:52] <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!
[16:53] <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 ..
[16:54] <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?
[16:55] <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?
[16:56] <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.
[16:57] <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?
[16:58] <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] <yto> my labtop doesn shut down in ubuntu(test sudo shutdown -h now and shutdown -P now) but doesnt work. can anyone help me?
[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
[16:59] <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] <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.
[17:00] <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] <phunyguy> ceq, ubottu is a bot.
[17:00] <ceq>  yeah i realized..
[17:01] <MonkeyDust_> ceq  what's the linkt between xp and ubuntu, exactly?
[17:01] <dipak> phunyguy: -d is for upgrade to development version of ubuntu or to the beta version.
[17:01] <ceq> thats my question. they are on the same drive, but different partitions
[17:01] <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.
[17:02] <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?
[17:03] <MonkeyDust_> ceq  a wubi, that's a windows application and something you should avoid
[17:03] <danny4way> E: Package 'linux-headers-3.8.0-31-generic' has no installation candidate
[17:03] <Bahman_Dool> how to change host name in ubuntu? I want the terminal be like root@foo not root@bar
[17:03] <danny4way> I have this error
[17:03] <glitsj16> Unovy: if you're not sure about this, pastebin that file and if you tell me what order you want things to appear in i'll try to edit it for you, i just need a quick break, be back in 5 minutes
[17:03] <Unovy> glitsj16: Okay
[17:04] <yto> imghost: acer E1-572G
[17:04] <dipak> danny4way: can you post details?
[17:04] <danny4way> Okay. I will post it on pastebin
[17:05] <imghost> yto, paste the output of dmesg
[17:05] <danny4way> dipak, http://pastebin.com/eGYmwcty
[17:06] <phunyguy> dipak, I understand the -d option, but what is the -p option?
[17:06] <Bahman_Dool> how to change host name in ubuntu? I want the terminal be like root@foo not root@bar
[17:07] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: why should i avoid it? im trying to make a smooth transition for my das from xp to ubuntu. is wubi the wrong way to do so? does ubuntu installed via wubi work without windows if i decide to delete it?
[17:07] <ceq> *dad
[17:09] <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] <spexi> Bahman_Dool: edit /etc/hostname
[17:09] <gmachine_24> swap files = swap partitions/////// my bad
[17:09] <glitsj16> Unovy: back, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and show me the url please? feel free to pm me, we can discuss the order you want your setup to show in in pm if you don't mind
[17:10] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: ok thanks!
[17:10] <Unovy> glitsj16: Okay, I'll PM about the order
[17:11] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: i backed up mail, private data,... so formatting windows finally and giving ubuntu a full install is the way, right?
[17:11] <Bahman_Dool> spexi, that does not work
[17:11] <howefield> danny4way: saucy doesn't have the 3.8 kernel, you won't find it in the saucy repositories. Try updating grub.
[17:12] <danny4way> and how do i update grub?
[17:12] <MonkeyDust_> ceq  great, backup was a good idea, now you can go ahead and not panic when something goes wrong
[17:12] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: my dad is not as skilled as me, i hope there will be no issues with the printr drivers etc...
[17:13] <howefield> danny4way: from a terminal, sudo update-grub and then reboot.
[17:13] <spexi> Bahman_Dool: why not?
[17:14] <danny4way> howefield, thank you
[17:16] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: thanks for yor help and happy holidays!
[17:20] <newatit> can anyone help me with trackers?
[17:21] <WebbyIT> newatit, what's your problem?
[17:21] <dougl> newatit, what is a tracker?
[17:23] <BAMbanda> Hello, I'm tring to install the LightTable ide from their website, it came as a tarball (tar.gz), so i untarred it fine and tried to run the program via ./LightTable, but I'm getting a message: "bin: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[17:24] <BAMbanda> although I just downloaded libnss3
[17:24] <Rory> BAMbanda: Do they provide installation instructions; specifically a list of dependencies?
[17:24] <BAMbanda> nope, http://www.lighttable.com/
[17:24] <newatit> whats the ramoops.ko file?
[17:25] <Rory> newatit: You're asking very weird, specific questions with no conext
[17:25] <dipak> newatit: it's a kernel module
[17:26] <Rory> Firstly BAMbanda did you download the 64 or 32 bit version? And do you ave a 64 or 32 bit installation?
[17:26] <newatit> whats it for?
[17:27] <BAMbanda> Rory, "Linux shai-Satellite-C855D 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
[17:27] <Rory> OK BAMbanda so ensure you downloaded the 64-bit version from the site
[17:27] <BAMbanda> Rory, ah that must be it
[17:27] <Rory> newatit: Apparently it "Log panic/oops to a RAM buffer"
[17:27] <dipak> newatit: kernel driver module
[17:28] <Rory> newatit: So if your system completely crashes up, at least it's able to display some kind of error message
[17:29] <newatit> oh ok.. thatnks
[17:33] <danny4way> After I update grub, it still doesn't work.
[17:33] <danny4way> http://pastebin.com/eGYmwcty
[17:33] <danny4way> same error
[17:35] <Rhiannon87> hello i want to upgrade my ubuntu installation (12.04) to the latest, but i notce that there is no alternate cd, with the latest version is it possible to activate existing LVM ?
[17:35] <Rhiannon87> previously i use alternate cd to use lvm encryption
[17:36] <MonkeyDust_> Rhiannon87  better stick to 12.04, soon the next LTS wil be out
[17:36] <newatit> how do i check my system using the terminal?
[17:36] <dipak> danny4way: what is the version of kernel currently in use by ubuntu?
[17:37] <MonkeyDust_> newatit  what do you want to know?
[17:37] <Rhiannon87> MonkeyDust_: and the alterate cd will be back in 14.04?
[17:37] <MonkeyDust_> Rhiannon87  yes, it's the server installer
[17:37] <dipak> newatit: type lspci
[17:37] <danny4way> how do i check dipak?
[17:37] <danny4way> dipak

[17:39] <khildin> 3.8.0-31-generic <- kernel version
[17:39] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  now uname -r
[17:39] <MonkeyDust_> Rhiannon87  no GUI, if that's what you mean
[17:39] <danny4way> After uname -r, i get this
[17:39] <danny4way> 3.8.0-31-generic
[17:39] <Lucid_Lynx> Is there something like automatic password changes, based on a predefined basis in Ubuntu ?
[17:40] <Lucid_Lynx> a packet i could install ?
[17:40] <dipak> danny4way: 3.8.0-31 kernel version is already used by the system try to update it to a greater version.
[17:41] <danny4way> and how do i update?
[17:41] <yto> i cant shutdown my in ubuntu( i testshutdown -h and -P)but doesnt work
[17:42] <danny4way> is it  sudo update-grub ?
[17:42] <danny4way> dipak
[17:42] <MonkeyDust_> yto  "sudo shutdown -h now" without quotes
[17:42] <MonkeyDust_> yto  or sudo init 0
[17:43] <dipak> danny4way: you already did that isn't it?
[17:43] <yto> i test this but doesnt shutdown
[17:43] <danny4way> Yes  I did. But after that the computer didn't shut down so i forced it to shut down
[17:43] <Rory> danny4way: What are you trying to update?
[17:43] <MonkeyDust_> yto  don't forget suo i that line
[17:43] <MonkeyDust_> sudo*
[17:44] <ceq> my mouse and keyboard dont work on the login screen, ubuntu 12.04 - works on splash screen and freezes afterwards... any solutions to this?
[17:44] <danny4way> Okay. I am trying to install Virtual Box on Ubuntu. But there are many steps i have to take in order to install it.
[17:44] <danny4way> Rory
[17:44] <Rory> danny4way: And "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" doesn't wrk?
[17:44] <ceq> * the mouse cursor that is
[17:44] <danny4way> Wait. is it that easy?
[17:45] <Rory> danny4way: yes...
[17:45] <xmetal> hmm that wsa odd ... cable modem had to be reset
[17:45] <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] <Rory> danny4way: Maybe if you want to compile it yourself or something
[17:46] <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] <xmetal> after reading a few forum posts, installed a few more packages and it works fine now
[17:46] <danny4way> I really don't know. But I am just following the instructions from GOogle
[17:46] <danny4way> Rory
[17:46] <LongH> whats the current size of blockchain data and what is it expected to reach by say midway through 2014 ?
[17:46] <danny4way> Okay. MonkeyDust_
[17:46] <Rory> !virtualbox | danny4way
[17:46] <Rory> danny4way: so, "sudo apt-get install virtualbox"
[17:47] <dipak> ceq: what kind of interface your mouse and keyboars are using USB or PS/2
[17:47] <danny4way> Okay. Rory
[17:47] <MonkeyDust_> newatit  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[17:47] <danny4way> But on that website, it says I have to sudo apt-get install dkms
[17:47] <danny4way> I am not sure why. But it's what they say.
[17:48] <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/
[17:49] <danny4way> Okay. Rory. It's installed.
[17:49] <LongH> intresting article, bout exchanges lying about trading volvume and the incentives to do so
[17:49] <MonkeyDust_> LongH  take that to #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[17:49] <LongH> oops wrong window
[17:49] <danny4way> Now where do i find it? They don't prompt me for extension pack. Rory
[17:49] <newatit> what does that do monkeydust?
[17:49] <MonkeyDust_> newatit  unlock that lock file
[17:50] <Rory> danny4way: Why do you want it?
[17:50] <Rory> danny4way: Continue without it until you find you require it
[17:50] <danny4way> Idk. I am trying to get windows 8 on my computer
[17:50] <Rory> danny4way: OK so go ahead and install Windows 8 in Virtualbox
[17:50] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  windows 8 in virtual box?
[17:50] <danny4way> Yes. Why? MonkeyDust_
[17:51] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  ok, i tried it and didnt make it
[17:51] <newatit> how can i identify unwanted files in my computer using terminal?
[17:51] <Rory> newatit: Only you know what's unwanted
[17:51] <danny4way> What about windows 7? MonkeyDust_
[17:52] <danny4way> I need to use both Windows and Ubuntu.
[17:52] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  windows 7 works, technically, but it's slow... windows xp werks well
[17:52] <danny4way> That's okay if it's slow.
[17:52] <dipak> ceq: try running ubuntu in recovery mode and then report if that works or not
[17:52] <danny4way> Okay. So right now, I launched Oracle VM VirtualBox manager. And when i start it, it says error.
[17:53] <danny4way> MonkeyDust_
[17:53] <ceq> dipak: it works there
[17:53] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  what error?
[17:53] <danny4way> Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 7
[17:54] <danny4way> The virtual machine 'Windows 7' has terminated unexpectedly during the startup with exit code 1
[17:54] <ceq> dipak: it works on boot too, until the login screen. then the cursor freezes and i cant get to console vis alt+shidt+f1
[17:54] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  is it a iso or a dvd?
[17:54] <danny4way> When i click on details, it says Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
[17:54] <newatit> how do i create a clean Ubuntu USB installer?
[17:55] <jeff__> hello?
[17:55] <dipak> ceq: Try run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:55] <danny4way> I didn't even do anything. It comes with it. MonkeyDust_
[17:55] <MonkeyDust_> !usb | newatit start here
[17:55] <danny4way> I launched it and it comes with it so i start it.
[17:55] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  you need an iso or a dvd you want to install
[17:55] <danny4way> Oh and another error I didn't see. MonkeyDust_
[17:56] <danny4way> Kernal driver not installed (rc=-1908)
[17:56] <ceq> dipak: ok
[17:56] <ceq> dipak: doing so from recovery mode obv.
[17:56] <newatit> !usb
[17:56] <danny4way> It says The VirtualBox Linux kernal driver(vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing.
[17:56] <danny4way> MonkeyDust_
[17:56] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  maybe your windows version is 64bit and vbox can't handle that, or it must be specified somewhere
[17:57] <ceq> dipak: should i restart after running the command?
[17:58] <Tasab> hi all , wtz the latest ver of ubuntu ? can u send the link 4 download - thanx
[17:58] <danny4way> And underneath that, it says 'etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernal module if necessary
[17:58] <danny4way> MonkeyDust_
[17:58] <dipak> ceq: yes start ubuntu normally
[17:58] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  if you're not helped in this channel, try #vbox

[18:06] <guest-LIMNyh> Help. I followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving and modified my fstab accordingly. Now, when I try to log in, I am just thrown back into the login manager after entering my password for my user account. I still have a backup (old_home); so this should be solvable, right?

[18:26] <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] <Turingi> is there a way to gather the text output of cron'd commands in a file somewhere?
[18:27] <ryan_turner|MTW> Sorry, lvresize said there wasn't enough space*
[18:28] <dipak> yto: it is a bug for 12.04 i think it might be solved in recent versions of ubuntu. you could try those versions.

[18:44] <newatit> how can i check if my system has bugs?
[18:45] <dipak> newatit: it will show up automatically
[18:45] <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.
[18:46] <PatrickDickey> For example, if I boot lubuntu 13.10 up normally, my network never gets configured. But, if I go into recovery mode, and select Networking, and then resume, it works.
[18:46] <navin> hi all!! why ubuntu doesnt connect to ad-hoc connections?

[18:49] <MarkDavies> Hi. Let us assume that I have two bootloaders installed, LILO and GRUB. How can I check which is the one used by the system?
[18:50] <PatrickDickey> MarkDavies: When you boot up, does it say GRUB Bootloader at the top of the selection screen?
[18:51] <MarkDavies> yes, but I mean in the situation where I didn't see the boot-up process, and I'm not allowed to do it.
[18:57] <PatrickDickey> So anyhow, does anyone have ideas about why I can get my network to configure if I use recovery mode, but not if I boot normally? Wireless LAN only although I have used eth0 also.

[19:20] <bytefire> problem is when try to create partitions myself it comes back with error: no root file system defined.
[19:21] <bytefire> while i have created a root partition
[19:23] <bytefire> so by root file system, ubuntu is asking for '/' partition, is that right?
[19:23] <bytefire> and not /root
[19:25] <OerHeks> !partition
[19:26] <bytefire> OerHeks thanks. let me try that
[19:26] <DJRWolf> I updated my Ubuntu now it boots to a command prompt, suggestions?
[19:27] <OerHeks> bytefire, the last url http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning  is an extended excellent howto
[19:28] <esde> Does anyone know of a way to accomplish the same goal as in this tutorial (creating a "hybrid" drive from a ssd and hdd into a single logical volume). I tried googling but it didn't turn much up
[19:28] <esde> http://www.macworld.com/article/2014011/how-to-make-your-own-fusion-drive.html
[19:28] <OerHeks> DJRWolf, did your ubuntu work fine before update?
[19:28] <LINUXED> "sudo apt-get install irssi" is not working on ubuntu 13.10 destop
[19:29] <LINUXED> the same command is installing irssi client on edubuntu
[19:30] <DJRWolf> OerHeks yes
[19:30] <OerHeks> LINUXED, try " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  " first
[19:30] <OerHeks> DJRWolf, sounds like it does not find your videodriver, did you install that manually?
[19:30] <bytefire> ty OerHeks, just waiting for current installation to error so i can try this now
[19:30] <esde> I'd like to use my SSD to cache my HDD
[19:30] <DJRWolf> OerHerk I did updates, reboot and strait to command prompt, I only used Update Manager
[19:31] <charlie> Anybody having bluetooth problems on 13.10?
[19:31] <DJRWolf> OerHerk of note I did install the Cinnamon UI
[19:31] <DJRWolf> OerHerk months ago that is
[19:31] <LINUXED> another issue on the same 13.10 distro is that I can't find the shutdown buttons
[19:32] <OerHeks> DJRWolf, cinnamon is in the repos, so that would be fine. no, i meant did you install videodrivers and did you do that manually or tru the softwaremenu ?
[19:32] <LINUXED> when I type sudo halt the OS shuts down but the PC itself remain on
[19:33] <DJRWolf> OerHerks only thing I did was tell Update Manager to download and install all of the updates
[19:34] <DJRWolf> OerHerks after that it had the "Reboot Now" button and I clicked it, when it came back up it went strait to prompt
[19:34] <kgalahassa> LINUXED, this problem I refreshing myself, i think that I can't fixe it until now, why this? sudo halt the Os, but the PC itself remain on!!
[19:34] <kgalahassa> LINUXED, it's on 12.10 too
[19:37] <bytefire> ok
[19:37] <bytefire> ubuntu somehow installed successfully but loads into command line

[19:39] <XATRIX> Hi guys, i'm using Ubuntu 12 LTS server
[19:39] <XATRIX> And most of my scripts return me:
[19:39] <XATRIX> root@vox2-clu-ua:~# service glusterfs-server stop
[19:39] <XATRIX> stop: Unknown instance:
[19:40] <XATRIX> What do i do wrong ?
[19:40] <XATRIX> root@vox2-clu-ua:~# service networking restart
[19:40] <XATRIX> stop: Unknown instance:
[19:40] <XATRIX> networking stop/waiting
[19:41] <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.
[19:42] <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.
[19:43] <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> xatrix    2372  0.0  0.0  10612   960 pts/0    S+   21:43   0:00 grep --color=auto gluster
[19:43] <XATRIX> Nothing extra
[19:44] <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.
[19:45] <XATRIX> xatrix@vox2-clu-ua:~$ sudo service networking restart
[19:45] <XATRIX> stop: Unknown instance:
[19:45] <XATRIX> networking stop/waiting
[19:45] <SaberX01> XATRIX, info on RootSudo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:45] <XATRIX> The same for user
[19:45] <XATRIX> Something is going completely wrong
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <SaberX01> I've done 100's of server installs, I don't think I ever had to use the root account for anything.
[19:48] <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.
[19:49] <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] <XATRIX> It's improper way to
[19:50] <SaberX01> XATRIX, https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/
[19:50] <bytefire> in command line on ubuntu when i enter startx it errors by saying no screens found. what does that mean?
[19:52] <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?
[19:53] <brownfox> or i should have said startx
[19:53] <SaberX01> brownfox, Ctrl_Alt+F1
[19:53] <SaberX01> CTRL+Alt+F1
[19:54] <brownfox> @SaberX01 cheers
[19:54] <XATRIX> SaberX01: So there's no way to fix my system ?
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <SaberX01> XATRIX, it's your choice.
[19:56] <brownfox_> quit
[19:58] <pvl1> in a terminal, what does . file do?
[19:58] <SaberX01> Nothing
[19:58] <SaberX01> . file tries to execute a binary that probably isn't there
[19:59] <pvl1> SaberX01: alright thanks
[19:59] <SaberX01> man file .. see more into
[19:59] <SaberX01> *info
[20:01] <trism> pvl1: . file is the same as: source file, see: help .; in bash
[20:03] <pvl1> i tried man .
[20:03] <pvl1> but thanks trism reading now

[20:07] <wiehan> SaberX01, NOT UNITY, ubuntu also supports gnome-shell
[20:07] <SaberX01> what desktop are you talking about then

[20:09] <SaberX01> wiehan,  http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gnome-shell+add+launcher
[20:09] <wiehan> SaberX01, yeah that hard to spell "shell"
[20:09] <Beldar> SaberX01, no google that please
[20:11] <SaberX01> wiehan, yeah it is, shell kinda tough to google.
[20:11] <SaberX01> wiehan, if it's so easy for you to spell, why not try using it yourself.
[20:12] <Beldar> wiehan, I assume this is a desktop launcher if not be more specific, this is relative in spite of release mentioned. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-11-10oneiric.html
[20:13] <levo> what's a lightweight software for pdf viewing having the capability of commenting an highlighting? i use evince but it can't do such things AFAIK
[20:13] <yaraju> Has anyone here figured out how to make a "What U Hear" type stream show up in PulseAudio in Ubuntu 12.04? I want to record all of the output on my soundcard to audacity.
[20:13] <wiehan> SaberX01, Well one could google yes, I agree. I am an advocate of JFGI. Sometimes you also want to ask a human, in a community that was built in the spirit of Ubuntu.
[20:13] <Beldar> !pdf | levo
[20:15] <Beldar> levo, There is a list of pdf apps for ubuntu somewhere I'm looking.
[20:16] <onethreeninesix> hi
[20:17] <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.
[20:18] <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] <Reynaldo_Jose> thanks Beldar
[20:19] <yaraju> I've asked on #pulseaudio but they suggested my problem was more specific to #ubuntu
[20:20] <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.
[20:21] <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.
[20:22] <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> ?
[20:23] <SaberX01> levo, there may be add-ons / plugins,Iv'e only used Evince briefly.
[20:24] <levo> SaberX01: thanks, i'm googling
[20:24] <alket> How do i remove asking for keyring in Ubuntu, its driving me crazy, thank you
[20:26] <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.
[20:27] <alket> Beldar: when I connect to wireless, opening google chrome etc.
[20:27] <alket> Beldar: No i didn't
[20:28] <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.
[20:29] <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.
[20:30] <dluzius> how to create new folder in U 13.10
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <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.
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <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.
[20:35] <SaberX01> what he said ^^  ^^
[20:36] <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?
[20:37] <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> -.-
[20:38] <SaberX01> :-) that's kinda like "my car is making a noise" ..
[20:42] <alket_> bekks: Couldn't write it in gedit but it said that I didn't provide the password to keyring on the login
[20:44] <alket_> I just opened chrome and it asked again
[20:45] <LvMises> Hey all
[20:46] <LvMises> Does anyone using Ubuntu know if VLC can be used to steam a digital microscope feed?

[20:49] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: you'd have to do an "include" in their contab
[20:49] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: hmm, let me google it.
[20:49] <Beldar> alket_, Did you add the unity desktop to this install IE was it a kubuntu install or any of the other desktops originally?
[20:50] <alket_> Beldar: no , it is fresh install
[20:50] <Beldar> alket_, problem with that image is you include no context.
[20:51] <alket_> Beldar: I dont understand what do you mean by context
[20:52] <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
[20:53] <Beldar> alket_, I have the feeling you have been tweaking and left this info out.
[20:54] <alket_> Beldar: just beside some ppa like smuxi, sublime-text. I also installed gdebi and synaptics
[20:54] <jgcampbell300> would it be ok to ask about libreoffice questions here ?
[20:55] <jgcampbell300> can anyone help me find what i am looking for ... i dont know what it is called so im having a hard time finding it... I have a column that has alot of computer names like dell hp etc ... i am trying to find a way to make a list out to the side that  makes me a list of them all ... like in c3:c1000 there is dell so it puts it in a list out in say j1 then there is hp in there 20 times so it puts hp under dell in j2 and so
[20:55] <Beldar> alket_, Not sure really out of my general knowledge area, I have not seen that popup before.
[20:55] <alket_> Beldar: ok thank you very much
[20:55] <jgcampbell300> im just trying to figure out what to search for if anyone has any idea
[20:56] <Beldar> jgcampbell300, libreoffice running in ubuntu yes.
[20:56] <jgcampbell300> Beldar, cool ... any idea what i can google to get me closer to my goal ?
[20:57] <NJPeace>  /server irc.purplesurge.com -j #spp-wifi
[20:57] <Beldar> jgcampbell300, I don't understand the question and even if I did I'm not sure I could help is all.
[20:57] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: turns out i asked the exact same question 3 years ago and you answered it and then i asked it on askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64109/including-application-crons
[20:58] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: to summarize, i don't see any option similar to "include /home/username/crons"
[20:59] <donvito> can anyone tell me when will be the next lts release date?
[20:59] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: is there a reason you think that will not work ?
[20:59] <ikonia> donvito: 14.04
[21:00] <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] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: look at how the cron.d is included and use that as a reference
[21:00] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: oh ya, thanks :)
[21:10] <akira__JP> akira__JP
[21:11] <blind> hey guys. are there any terminal emulators with "quick command" buttons
[21:16] <SaberX01> blind, I think xshell4 has them.
[21:16] <stefano> ma
[21:17] <blind> oh, i didn't realize xshell was linux compatible.
[21:17] <SaberX01> blind, I don't know, just remember it had button :-)
[21:26] <jhansonxi> jgcampbell300: http://goo.gl/qXfpuV
[21:30] <donvito> were to find file that start up some proceses on ubuntu ?
[21:32] <SaberX01> donvito, whar process?
[21:32] <SaberX01> *what
[21:32] <donvito> example i have setup noip2.conf to startup when ubuntu bootes
[21:33] <donvito> but i dont remember where do i setup that line
[21:33] <donvito> oh
[21:33] <donvito> its on rc.local
[21:34] <SaberX01> donvito, I dont know what noip2 is, but /etc/init.d  or /usr/lib/upstart
[21:35] <donvito> it was on rc.local
[21:36] <SaberX01> still dont know what noip2 is :-)
[21:37] <donvito> noip2 is a client for no-ip.org
[21:37] <donvito> like dyndns updater
[21:38] <SaberX01> donvito, Found the info: This package provides the No-IP.com Dynamic DNS update client
[21:38] <donvito> yep
[21:38] <donvito> :)
[21:38] <SaberX01> donvito, why is it in rc.local .. I would think init.d or upstart
[21:41] <donvito> because there it just works
[21:41] <donvito> :)
[21:41] <demon^eye> hi
[21:41] <demon^eye> i need little help
[21:42] <Beldar> demon^eye, Tell the channel the problem for help.
[21:42] <Apollo> test
[21:43] <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
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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)
[21:47] <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?
[21:48] <Beldar> demon^eye, If you run sudo fdisk -l in the new ubuntu does the old HD show?
[21:49] <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] <drpoo> hi all, im running 13.10 64-bit. I am trying to connect to a bluetooth headset but the bluetooth app is greyed out. Here is the output of dmesg | grep Blue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6631276/ any suggestions?!
[21:50] <Beldar> demon^eye, Hard to make sense of that can you answer the questions?
[21:51] <demon^eye> i didnt mess with it no more ... didnt do fdisk... coz my old HD is win8 ... dont wont the screw it
[21:52] <demon^eye> beldar : adding new hd after installing ubuntu should coz problems ?
[21:52] <Beldar> demon^eye, Ah W8, probably a uefi, removing it to install ubuntu probably made the new ubuntu not a efi install is amy buess.
[21:52] <Beldar> guess
[21:52] <LINUXED> how to edit the main menu of ubuntu 13.10 startup? grub.lst doesn't exist
[21:53] <dluzius> tks Beldar,  :)
[21:53] <LINUXED> I want to remove the mem test entry
[21:53] <Beldar> LINUXED, memtest is on the live
[21:53] <Beldar> LINUXED, oops ana d the install hold on,
[21:53] <demon^eye> beldar : maybe , i am new to that stuff... and dont want to kill my old win8 disk :)
[21:53] <LINUXED> it appears on my installation too
[21:53] <drpoo> hi all, im running 13.10 64-bit. I am trying to connect to a bluetooth headset but the bluetooth app is greyed out. Here is the output of dmesg | grep Blue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6631276/ any suggestions?!
[21:54] <LINUXED> so where those entries should edit from?
[21:54] <Beldar> LINUXED, sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+  will remove mem
[21:54] <Beldar> !uefi | demon^eye take a look here see if any is notable
[21:55] <LINUXED> Beldar: what if there are other entries I want to remove?
[21:55] <Beldar> LINUXED, Like?
[21:56] <LINUXED> I stated that I wanna know where to edit the menu from?
[21:56] <Beldar> LINUXED, Personally I want to save you from making a mistake, so I ask like what?
[21:57] <Beldar> can;t imagine what else is safely removed for easy access is all
[21:57] <LINUXED> Beldar: I'm not worried from erasing the entire thing to learn how to do it
[21:57] <Beldar> me to
[21:57] <LINUXED> just tell me what is the alternative to grub.lsrt
[21:57] <LINUXED> lst
[21:58] <Beldar> LINUXED, No, hehe
[21:58] <LINUXED> or don't :)
[21:59] <Beldar> LINUXED, https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
[21:59] <aurauxis_> Hey, can anyone help me with installing a game?
[22:00] <aurauxis_> I want to install Uplink
[22:00] <LINUXED> ok, now you've the right to remain silent Beldar
[22:00] <aurauxis_> When I execute uplink.sh, I get the following error
[22:00] <Beldar> LINUXED, I gave you the full manual
[22:00] <aurauxis_> E: Unable to locate package lib32-freeglut
[22:01] <profligacy> I know this is off-topic, but Merry X-mas everyone!
[22:01] <LINUXED> Beldar: and I gave you a full advice
[22:01] <Beldar> LINUXED,You seem a little hard headed and demanding this does not work for me is all.
[22:01] <profligacy> Beldar: Let's be civil. It's Jesus' birthday.
[22:02] <profligacy> He died for your sins.
[22:02] <Beldar> !040 | profligacy
[22:02] <LINUXED> Beldar: w/e
[22:02] <jjavaholic> what does the ""User folders update" do?
[22:02] <Beldar> profligacy, Maybe 1/3 of the world is christain this is a worldwide channel.
[22:02] <profligacy> so
[22:02] <profligacy> I'm not Christian either.
[22:03] <profligacy> I'm certainly not "christain" ha.
[22:03] <Gnea> profligacy: #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:03] <daftykins> show some courtesy or leave.
[22:03] <profligacy> What is nthe newest Ubuntu?
[22:03] <profligacy> Can I boot it off USB?
[22:03] <Gnea> !usb | profligacy
[22:04] <profligacy> Is Ubuntu 100% free?
[22:04] <Gnea> !13.10 | profligacy
[22:04] <Gnea> !free | profligacy
[22:04] <profligacy> Is Ubuntu easy to install? Does the installation allow me to create partitions?
[22:05] <jjavaholic> what does "User folders update" do as found in the the startup apps list
[22:05] <Gnea> profligacy: yes, it's all GUI-driven step-by-step
[22:05] <profligacy> Is there anything I show know before partitioning my hard drive?
[22:05] <profligacy> *should know
[22:06] <aurauxis_> So, any ideas?
[22:06] <profligacy> How do I know what's ideal, in terms of partitioning?
[22:06] <Gnea> profligacy: you should know how to backup your data, if there's anything you don't want to get deleted on your hard drive, and then actually back it up before performing the installation
[22:06] <profligacy> But how do I partition?
[22:06] <Gnea> profligacy: best way to do it is to just let it decide for you, then just use it
[22:06] <profligacy> How much space do I allocate?
[22:06] <Gnea> profligacy: it will guide you through it
[22:06] <profligacy> Oh.
[22:06] <Gnea> profligacy: however much you need.
[22:06] <profligacy> Ok, thanks Gnea
[22:07] <Gnea> np
[22:07] <jjavaholic> just take your time to read step by step guides and you should be fine
[22:07] <Gnea> profligacy: you can always re-install it later and have it re-partition if you're not happy with the default setup
[22:07] <Gnea> profligacy: it doesn't require a license key to use ;-)
[22:08] <profligacy> Awesome
[22:08] <Gnea> Very much so
[22:10] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: that takes care of providing the regular directories like ~/Downloads, ~/Music etc. in the user's locale, check ~/.config/user-dirs.locale (and the corresponding ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs) .. it's part of the xdg desktop integration tools
[22:10] <bel3atar> what file gets generated when I do ./configure?
[22:10] <Gnea> bel3atar: usually the Makefiles
[22:12] <jjavaholic> I hate those default folders
[22:13] <Amandeep> hello
[22:14] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: you can edit their names and/or remove them, i don't think anything stops you from doing so, but don't run the 'Users folder updates' in that case i'd say
[22:16] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: take a look inside ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, it explains a few things
[22:16] <gimmil> anyone care to show me how to preseed ubuntu server properly? Can't figure it out for the life of me.
[22:16] <gimmil> nor find a proper tut
[22:17] <comradetwiggy> quit
[22:17] <jjavaholic> maybe i'm reading it wrong but it doesn't explain the xxx_dir part
[22:18] <jjavaholic> is it a case that these are use identifiers and don't actually matter what they are called except the prefix?
[22:21] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: as i see it (could be fuzzy considering the holidays) the XDG_xxx_DIR entrees are constants, you can assign any location you want to those, i.e. i've set my PUBLICSHARE one to non-existing by attributing it ""
[22:22] <glitsj16> not sure if that made much sense :)
[22:22] <jjavaholic> how did you do that?
[22:23] <jjavaholic> the "i've set my PUBLICSHARE one to non-existing by attributing it" bit
[22:24] <DJRWolf> I just updated my 12.04 with Cinnamon UI and now when I boot it goes strait to prompt, how do I get it back to boot to GUI?
[22:24] <glitsj16> just edited the entree to "" .. and i reassigned the MUSIC one to $HOME/noise instead of "Music" .. cause i have audio in there that's hardly considered musical
[22:27] <jjavaholic> I don't think I could stand having a folder named noise in my home folder.
[22:27] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: same deal with TEMPLATES, i've set it to XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/.templates" to keep it but hide it from view
[22:27] <Cooperz> How do you open control panel in windows 7
[22:27] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: lol, just an example, no need to use that
[22:29] <JohnnyL> One one of m machines firefox dies if i 'apt-get install firefox' after do-release-upgrade.
[22:29] <JohnnyL> but if I download it from ftp as _64 it runs fine.
[22:30] <Beldar> JohnnyL, did you remove firefox?
[22:30] <JohnnyL> yes
[22:30] <JohnnyL> apt-get remove firefox
[22:30] <JohnnyL> , tried that a few times.
[22:30] <Beldar> JohnnyL, why, and that leaves the ff files there.
[22:30] <JohnnyL> oh?
[22:31] <gimmil> does anyone have a comprehensive ubuntu 12 server preseeding tutorial other than the documentation, that I could look at. I do not understand the way they explain it on there.
[22:31] <Cooperz> apt-get is not working on Windows 7
[22:31] <Beldar> JohnnyL, You would have run a purge to remove them
[22:31] <JohnnyL> ah ok
[22:31] <Beldar> Cooperz, apt-get in W7?
[22:31] <gimmil> LOL
[22:31] <kostkon> Cooperz, ??
[22:31] <gimmil> sorry What windows 7 does not support apt-get
[22:32] <Cooperz> Yes.  Why it doesn't work
[22:32] <gimmil> it is a linux only repository program
[22:32] <kostkon> Cooperz, what do you mean it doesn't work
[22:32] <harris1> Why does the nexus 7 still have 2 red boxs on ubuntu touch
[22:32] <Beldar> !touch | harris1
[22:32] <JohnnyL> Beldar: do you think that'll do it?
[22:33] <Beldar> JohnnyL, I would run purge then make sure the .mozilla file is gone and anything in .config
[22:33] <harris1> Beldar no one is un that channel or at least talking
[22:33] <Cooperz> I type apt-get install ubuntu and I get an error
[22:34] <gimmil> JohnnyL apt-get is short for aptitute. Reference: http://wiki.vpslink.com/Linux_Command_Reference:_aptitude_(Debian,_Ubuntu) for more info
[22:34] <Beldar> harris1, That is the only channel that address it.
[22:34] <DJRWolf> I just updated my 12.04 with Cinnamon UI and now when I boot it goes strait to prompt, how do I get it back to boot to GUI??
[22:34] <harris1> Can anyone here help with ubuntu touch
[22:35] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Not sure cinnamon has a 12.04 install, how did hou do it?
[22:35] <glitsj16> Cooperz: where do you type that exactly?
[22:35] <Beldar> you*
[22:35] <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
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <Beldar> DJRWolf, HOw did you add it?
[22:37] <JohnnyL> Beldar what is .config? is that a subdir of .mozilla?
[22:37] <glitsj16> Cooperz: funny .. why would a linux command do anything but error in windows7 ?
[22:37] <kostkon> harris1, "Camera is kinda working on n7 but not saving images it takes"
[22:37] <Beldar> JohnnyL, hit crtl-h for hidden files in home
[22:37] <JohnnyL> beldar right, but what is it for?
[22:38] <dluzius> how to close smuxi
[22:38] <Beldar> JohnnyL, configs of apps, how you have them set up.
[22:38] <Cooperz> Glitsj16 that's not helpful
[22:38] <JohnnyL> right
[22:39] <DJRWolf> Beldar http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-cinnamon-on-ubuntu-13-04-12-10-12-04/
[22:40] <Cooperz> I rebooted and everything.  Still doesn't work.
[22:40] <Cooperz> Should I reload the os
[22:40] <glitsj16> Cooperz: do you dual boot between windows 7 and ubuntu?
[22:41] <Cooperz> No.  I'm trying install Ubuntu
[22:41] <Cooperz> Should I reload Windows
[22:41] <harris1> Beldar and kostkon thanks somone is helping me in the other channel merry Christmas
[22:42] <[[thufir]]> I'm in Canada where we don't have Amazon mp3's, or Google mp3s...only iTunes.  So, I wanted to get a friend some music.  any ideas?
[22:42] <Gnea> Cooperz: let's get down to it, you're really confusing some people. How many OS's do you intend to run on your computer?
[22:42] <glitsj16> Cooperz: no need to reload Windows no .. do you have a ubuntu .iso file on dvd or usb?
[22:42] <Cooperz> I swear to god....ill reformat the harddrive right now.
[22:42] <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
[22:43] <Beldar> Cooperz, your trolling
[22:43] <Cooperz> Just trying to put a few smiles on some faeces
[22:43] <glitsj16> succes
[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.
[22:44] <Gnea> good. ;-)
[22:47] <Beldar> [[thufir]], Not really a ubuntu question and possibly polling, however amazon and 1000's of websites offer downloads of albums and single songs.
[22:48] <Beldar> use a US amazon link
[22:51] <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?
[22:53] <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. ;)
[22:54] <DJRWolf> Beldar is not auto login and also does not get to login
[22:55] <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?
[22:56] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Was there a working desktop at some point, details are the search at this point.
[22:58] <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?
[22:59] <DJRWolf> Beldar nVidia (GTS 450)
[22:59] <Beldar> DJRWolf, from nividia, or the repos?
[23:00] <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"
[23:01] <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] <Beldar> if*
[23:01] <DJRWolf> Beldar still in the shalow "gui" end of the Linux pool
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <pac1>  /simgear-osgearth/simgear/scene/util/OsgEarthLoadKML.hxx:30:28: fatal error: osgEarth/MapNode: No such file or directory  #include <osgEarth/MapNode>
[23:03] <pac1> Anyone seen this?
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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*
[23:05] <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?
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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?
[23:08] <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.
[23:10] <DJRWolf> Beldar I just tried "recovery mode" boot and it got to the menu, when I selected the "failsafex" it just looped back to the menu
[23:10] <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.
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <Beldar> fatjon, What makes you think you have a problem at all?
[23:14] <Beldar> esn, You have not confirmed if the user has any problem, and yet advise as though they have.
[23:16] <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] <Sparkie> what do these cmmands do: chmod a+w tmp and chmod a+w data
[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
[23:17] <Beldar> esn, it is your responsibility to give relevant help, not just anything asked for.
[23:18] <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. ;)
[23:20] <esn> Oooooohhh.. Beldar I thought he had a spy on windows and wanted to investogate with Ubuntu xD
[23:21] <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.
[23:22] <fatjon> beldar. ok
[23:25] <RocketPenguin123> How would i copy a partition from a 30gb hdd to a 260 gb hdd, but keep it the same size?
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <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.
[23:28] <thoraxe> first time looking at ubuntu.  EL-based OS have x86 and x86_64 but the ubuntu downloads has i386 and amd64.  do i want amd64 for 64-bit on intel (non-amd)?
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <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.
[23:30] <RocketPenguin123> And how do you copy the partition in gparted? I dont see that option
[23:30] <Hydr0p0nX> having trouble getting audio out through my hdmi port working on ubuntu 12.04.3
[23:30] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, grub
[23:30] <RocketPenguin123> oh, found it
[23:30] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, Has to be unmounted to copy not while using it.
[23:31] <RocketPenguin123> It doesnt allow me to paste...
[23:32] <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] <Hydr0p0nX> it's an older nvidia, MCP78S, udev identifies the audio driver as "MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio"
[23:32] <RocketPenguin123> Beldar,  Do i have to paste it onto a partition, or can i paste it in unlocated space?
[23:32] <colbyo> *The output of the boot debug is stuck at "firewire_core", cursor is blinking.
[23:33] <shanahan> how do put the ubuntu font in the style of a div?
[23:33] <RocketPenguin123> Beldar,  Nevermind, got it
[23:35] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, cool
[23:36] <RocketPenguin123> Beldar, So once this copies, how do i make it bootable?
[23:37] <redlance> Is there a way to automatically run an old dos program under dosemu when someone telnets or ssh's into a certain port?
[23:38] <DJRWolf> Beldar did that and the package repair, still boots to command prompt login
[23:39] <Aqua_Reef> redlance: remote into where to where, and emulate a dos program where?
[23:40] <redlance> Aqua_Reef, I want to host an old bbs door game, which runs under dos.  I have tested it under dosemu and it seems to work.  I want to set it up so if someone from the internet telent's or ssh's into my box, on a certain port number, they will go straight into the game.
[23:42] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Not really sure, have you tried logging in there and running startx
[23:43] <DJRWolf> Beldar did not know that command to start x
[23:43] <ewook> startx?
[23:43] <ewook> oh. it wasn't a question. :p.
[23:44] <Guest12601> can anyone help me with a stuck wireless hardware switch?
[23:44] <Aqua_Reef> redlance: Not to sure about telnet, but SSH have you looked at modifying your .zlogin or .bash_profile to run the emulation at login.
[23:45] <glick> hi, how come when i set up the side panel to auto hide
[23:45] <redlance> Aqua_Reef, Hmmm, no I haven't, I'll look into it, thanks.
[23:45] <glick> when i move my mouse to the left side of the screen or the top corner, it doesnt show
[23:45] <glick> ?
[23:46] <Aqua_Reef> redlance: No problem, that should be a good start and is fairly well documented.
[23:46] <redlance> Aqua_Reef, Ok, thank again
[23:46] <DJRWolf> Beldar "Fatal Server Error: No Screen Found"
[23:47] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Not sure really, maybe others might know.
[23:47] <JohnnyL> beldar: nope it was working fine before the do-release-upgrade.
[23:47] <ewook> Guest12601: stuck hardware-switch? Uhm, a philips-head screw driver? :)
[23:47] <DJRWolf> Beldar "NVIDIA: API Missmatch"
[23:47] <glick> why doesnt auto-hide launcher feature work?
[23:48] <Guest12601> my laptop had dual boot with windows
[23:48] <[[thufir]]> Beldar: no, they don't.  amazon will not allow downloads to canada.   (sorry for delay)
[23:48] <Aqua_Reef> Guest12601: I don't think there's a software fix for this, maybe looking at purchasing a new base for laptop? May get it for free if your laptop is under warranty =)
[23:48] <[[thufir]]> there just aren't many legal ways of getting mp3s in canada.  jsut wondering there were any canadians here using something instead of itunes.  anyhow.
[23:53] <cesurasean> hey hey guys. what is the amazon aws root login username for ubuntu 13?
[23:54] <DJRWolf> Beldar what about the nVidia API missmatch?
[23:54] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Not really an area I'm up on is all.
[23:54] <cesurasean> i tried ubuntu, root, ec2-user, and none of those usernames work for the amazon AMI image to login with.
[23:55] <cesurasean> can someone help me to get logged into my system?
[23:55] <DJRWolf> Beldar it looks like the problem is parts of the video drivers are missmatched and need to be reinstalled, how do I do that from the command prompt?
[23:55] <Beldar> DJRWolf, No idea
