| yofun | nope its a file | 00:02 |

| ObrienDave | yes, i would think that would be one of many good options | 00:09 |
| demophobia | I'm not sure how I would install a new hard drive, though: It looks like I'd need a screwdriver about 1.5 inches big ... | 00:11 |

| cauthon | I have an older machine which can't run the Ubuntu GUI without NVidia drivers. Artifacts all over the screen, can't see anything. Where can I get a LiveCD with the NVidia drivers included? | 00:17 |
| TJ- | cauthon: Is the system already installed? | 00:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | cauthon: what gpu is it exactly? | 00:18 |
| cauthon | TJ-: No, I didn't install it or use the text install as I need to back up the hard drive to an ISO on my NAS | 00:18 |
| cauthon | hitsujiTMO: Let me check | 00:18 |
| TJ- | cauthon: If so, you can interrupt the boot-loader - GRUB - by holding down the Shift key as the system starts, and at the boot menu, choosing from Advanced, and Recovery option. That'll start in non-gui mode, where you can enable networking and then install the nvidia drivers from the terminal. Then, you can reboot to use the nvidia driver and get the GUI. | 00:19 |
| cauthon | hitsujiTMO: GeForce 6150SE onboard, on an AMD motherboard. It only has a VGA port on the back, so I'm guessing it's not the world's best GPU | 00:19 |
| cauthon | TJ-: Unfortunately not - if I hold shift while the LiveCD boots, can I install the system to a USB thumbdrive? | 00:20 |
| demophobia | cauthon: I've been told there are other options, perhaps lubuntu, for older computers. lubuntu might be worth looking into. | 00:22 |
| cauthon | demophobia: I'll look into that, thanks | 00:23 |
| cauthon | Is there an easy way to get a simple text install going from a normal Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD? | 00:23 |
| === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 | ||

| TJ- | cauthon: You'll need the alternate ISO installer | 00:24 |
| ObrienDave | no more alternates. use mini ISO | 00:25 |
| ObrienDave | !mini | 00:25 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:25 |
| cauthon | Cool, thanks. | 00:25 |

| Xgates | as far as all the settings for grub and xorg.conf I've tried just about everyone I've seen too... | 00:55 |
| TJ- | Xgates: some of the comments recommend enabling the Compatiblity Support Module in BIOS, and say that F5/F6 start working after a suspend, and/or after creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf that contains "Option "registryDwords""EnableBrightnessControl=1" " | 00:55 |
| damarusama | yep gdm binary | 00:55 |
| david38400 | ObrienDave, Which ones for example. | 00:55 |
| Bin64 | can you help me for create one fake server ssh ? please | 00:55 |
| topper4125 | rob_here, yup.. that's what I do! Good luck! | 00:55 |
| qin | Bin64: fake ssh, you mean listining on 127.0.0.1? | 00:57 |
| Xgates | No Compatibility Support Module, Suspend doesn't do anything, also "Option "registryDwords" doesn't work too | 00:57 |
| damarusama | k1l_: if I don't have the custom.conf where could I disable x to load when my user login? | 00:57 |
| ObrienDave | david38400, not in Ubuntu at the moment | 00:57 |
| Xgates | TJ-: as I mentioned I've already tried just about everything out there, I've been reading and digging into this for a few weeks now... | 00:57 |
| david38400 | ObrienDave, Ah ok. tried with ffmpeg but wouldnt work | 00:57 |
| TJ- | Xgates: So the suspend trick doesn't enable those hot keys? | 00:58 |

| Bin64 | qin: I would like to create a ssh server that can afford to connect with logins that do not exist on my machine | 00:58 |
| Xgates | I made a bug report, hoping Canocial will figure out something, which I believe is going to take some type of driver... | 00:58 |
| damarusama | k1l_: thanks will try | 00:59 |
| qin | Bin64: allowed users in sshd_config | 00:59 |
| TJ- | Xgates: The comment by "Roberto, 2012/10/25 08:11" is pretty specific in the details of what definitely works on Ubuntu | 01:00 |
| Bin64 | qin: No, I want that "toto" can connect via ssh on my machine without the "toto" account exists on my machine | 01:01 |
| qin | Bin64: man sshd_config; not sure how it makes server fake, better yet disable password login after issuing keys | 01:01 |
| Bin64 | qin: this is not what I want :) | 01:01 |
| qin | Bin64: I do not think it is this what you really want. Do not know how to do it. | 01:02 |
| TJ- | Bin64: If "toto" doesn't exist as a user on the system, then it follows it is impossible for such a user to connect. Do you actually mean "user 'toto' on PC1 can connect to an account on PC2 that does not have a user called 'toto' " ? | 01:03 |
| Xgates | TJ-: but should also work with Ubuntu 12.04 and Nvidia 304.48 LOL, my luck I'm using 12.04 and 304.88, so I'm not really sure, I've also tried this out on livecds for Kubuntu and Mint with no luck either... | 01:03 |
| rob_here | topper4125, I'm actually just gonna dive into the MIT open course. Thanks for helping me remember that | 01:03 |
| qin | Bin64: besides it looks like you want to have undetectable access to remote system, which putting some doubts into my thinking. | 01:04 |
| TJ- | Xgates: And you have CSM enabled in the BIOS? Any other settings in BIOS look like they might affect these functions? Did you also add "acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor" to GRUB's linux kernel command line options? | 01:04 |
| Xgates | TJ-: the only reason I went with the LTS is I wanted to stay away from the Unity shopping lens spyware stuff, but I did a bit that I believe all you have to do is just uninstall the Unity Shopping Lens | 01:04 |
| bekks | Xgates: Correct. Uninstalling it is all you have to do. | 01:05 |
| Bin64 | TJ-: I want to simulate a unix account accessible by ssh. | 01:05 |
| Xgates | TJ-: oh I also tried 13.10 livecd too and no good, maybe if I installed 13.10 and then the nvidia drivers I might have luck... | 01:05 |
| Bin64 | as we can create a small web server using sockets;) | 01:06 |
| Xgates | TJ-: I don't have any CSM option in the bios, I tried also acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor | 01:06 |
| Xgates | bekks: so it's called unity shopping lens? | 01:06 |
| k1l_ | Xgates: which ubuntu release are you talking about? | 01:07 |
| SaberX01 | Simulate a Unix account .. I really do not see the advantage of that. Create the user account, and putting them in a JailShell or restricting the account to specific group usage would be much better approach. | 01:07 |
| Xgates | TJ-: oh wait unless I need to enable UEFI to see this CSM, I'll have to go back and check... | 01:08 |
| Xgates | k1l_: I'm using 12.04 | 01:08 |
| Xgates | BUT if I enable UEFI I don't think this is going to boot any more because I installed Ubuntu MBR | 01:09 |
| k1l_ | Xgates: the unity-lens-shopping only exists for quantal and raring | 01:09 |
| Xgates | I'm sure it won't boot then... | 01:09 |
| Xgates | I forgot what's 13.10 called? | 01:09 |
| Bin64 | SaberX01: I find a good keyword: honeypot;) | 01:09 |
| Bin64 | that's what I was looking for | 01:09 |
| k1l_ | Xgates: saucy | 01:09 |
| Xgates | k1l_: yes I know it's not in 12.04 I was talking about the newer versions... | 01:09 |
| Xgates | oh it's not in saucy anymore? | 01:10 |
| k1l_ | Xgates: but they changed the lens and scopes in 13.10 | 01:10 |
| qin | Bin64: nc is good enough to make honeypot | 01:10 |
| k1l_ | Xgates: just disable the overall online search in privacy settings or disable the specific scope you dont want. | 01:10 |
| Xgates | k1l_: so is there still some of this issue still in 13.10, I believe it was related to Amazon when you do searches they keep them | 01:10 |
| k1l_ | Xgates: its no magic needed. | 01:11 |
| Bin64 | qin: not for ssh (but if you know how, I want to know :)) | 01:11 |
| k1l_ | Xgates: dont follow the shitstorms blindly | 01:11 |
| Xgates | is it the same like 12.04 in Privacy just turn the 'Record Activity' off? | 01:11 |

| ObrienDave | Bo__, check MD5 sum. sounds like a bad D/L | 01:15 |
| qin | Bin64: nc -l 22; but if you want play with ssh intrusion, you can hoop uk scripts via iptables, very unsafe even if you thik you know what are you doing | 01:15 |
| Bin64 | qin: No, I want to manage the complete ssh connection | 01:16 |

| qin | Bin64: for better security use fail2ban or knockd | 01:19 |
| Bin64 | SaberX01: you think you connect to a real ssh server, but behind it there is a simple script to log logins, password, and commands. | 01:20 |
| qin | Bin64: man netcat | 01:21 |
| Bin64 | qin: yes, of course, but then, the principle is to make a honeypot | 01:21 |
| Bin64 | qin: netcat does not simulate a ssh service | 01:21 |
| Bin64 | exemple for http, ftp, smtp : http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?272430-3-Honeypots-in-Python | 01:21 |
| Bin64 | I try to do the same but ssh;) | 01:22 |
| SaberX01 | Bin64, well I dont think that's possible via SSh without writing you own interface .. but you could create a chroot and install a bootstrap system in it. Manage access to it via SSH and a Specific user account on the primary server. | 01:24 |
| qin | Bin64: I think you have some reading adventure in front of yourself, perhaps you want to know that coming up with sensible solution may be quite profitable | 01:25 |
| Bin64 | SaberX01: for obvious safety issue, I would prefer to avoid this solution and remain only in a simulated account :) | 01:25 |

| qin | cauthon: dd over ssh in one solution, unison or rsync another. copying image over network have some simple failbacks, sync needs more preps | 02:07 |

| SaberX01 | qin, cauthon, here's a similar example of what I was referring to .. with bit more detail | 02:09 |
| SaberX01 | http://eggsonbread.com/2010/01/28/move-ubuntu-to-another-computer-in-3-simple-steps/ | 02:10 |
| qin | cauthon: pretty much if connection drops you have to restart proces, plus some hardware may deliver trouble | 02:10 |
| cauthon | qin: Hardware? You mean the system may have been set up to recognize the old machine's hardware and I wouldn't have a way of configuring it for the new hardware? | 02:11 |
| cauthon | SaberX01: Thanks, that's a good idea if just cloning the drive isn't an option | 02:11 |
| qin | cauthon: if you copr | 02:12 |
| qin | cauthon: if you copy raw image of odl system, yes, you will have to reconfigure it on first boot | 02:12 |
| lotuspsychje | is there a GUI package to optimize ssd tweaks in ubuntu? | 02:12 |
| cauthon | qin: Any idea what's involved in that? I imagine it's just triggering whatever process discovers your hardware in the installation process, but I have no idea how that's done | 02:13 |
| SaberX01 | That' looks simple in the installer, but there is allot going on behind the scenes with HW detection & configuration. | 02:14 |

| GeonoTRON2000 | I don't believe it's a problem with the drivers, actually | 02:20 |
| david[1] | Hello, the program I'm trying to install (Adobe InDesign CS 6) states that it requires an Intel Pentium 4 processor or an AMD Athlon 64 processor, and a 16-bit graphics card | 02:20 |
| david[1] | I'm not sure how to check if my computer meets those requirements. | 02:20 |
| GeonoTRON2000 | when I close the lid for a while and then open, the login screen flashes, then goes back to black | 02:20 |
| david[1] | My processor is listed as an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410m CPU | 02:20 |
| tacorwin | That my friend is a comparability issue with your driver. I had the same problem | 02:20 |
| tacorwin | Compatibility*^ | 02:21 |
| cummseng | lotuspsychje, none of those links help. My sound is working perfectly, it's just that it switches to another sound card when i reboot, i then have to switch it back to the preferred device. | 02:21 |
| david[1] | Any idea if that processor would meet the requirements? | 02:21 |
| lotuspsychje | cummseng: can you disable the non-used sound card in bios? | 02:21 |
| cauthon | david[1]: Sounds good, i5 is significantly faster than a Pentium 4 | 02:21 |
| david[1] | cauthon: Thanks. Any idea how I could check the 16-bit graphics card part? | 02:22 |
| cummseng | lotuspsychje, i can but i need it | 02:22 |
| cauthon | david[1]: AFAIK as long as your driver is correct, you'll be good on that as well. | 02:22 |
| david[1] | cauthon: Okay, thanks! | 02:22 |
| lotuspsychje | cummseng: you have 2 diff soundcards that you use togheter then? | 02:22 |
| cummseng | lotuspsychje, one is only ever used at a time. i switch between the two. | 02:23 |
| GeonoTRON2000 | I've gotten it to boot once, and it said there were no additional drivers | 02:23 |

| GeonoTRON2000 | the problem is, I don't get a grub menu either | 02:24 |
| david[1] | cauthon: Wait sorry, I made a mistake. It states that it needs a 16-bit graphics adapter, not a 16-bit graphics card. | 02:24 |
| lotuspsychje | GeonoTRON2000: you cant enter grub by holding shift? | 02:25 |
| GeonoTRON2000 | I can't. | 02:25 |

| SaberX01 | cauthon, bottom line is, it really depends on two majaor factors, as to which is the best way to go, the level of customization on Box1 and the Hardware deltas between Box1 & Box2 .. Sometimes, a new install with simple data backups is the easiest way to go. | 02:26 |

| david[1] | cauthon: Never mind, I just googled and realized that adapter and card refer to the same thing in this context. Oops. | 02:27 |
| lotuspsychje | GeonoTRON2000: i doubt you cant enter grub, you sure you hold shift long enough at boot? | 02:28 |
| cauthon | SaberX01: Right. I have custom configs scattered throughout the machine, it's a plex server, openvpn, connects to my NAS to get to the media stored on it, a million other things, and I just don't want to reconfigure everything | 02:29 |
| cauthon | I suppose I could do a fresh install, add all packages from the machine using that article, copy /etc/*, and hope for the best | 02:30 |
| GeonoTRON2000 | I've held shift until it plays the login screen music, so yeah. | 02:30 |
| SaberX01 | cauthon, defiantely, do the base install then use that dpkg -get-selections to get additional packages and configs for you. | 02:30 |
| lotuspsychje | GeonoTRON2000: if you can boot ubuntu till login, you should at least be able to enter grub | 02:31 |
| GeonoTRON2000 | when exactly should I hold shift? | 02:31 |
| cauthon | SaberX01: There's also custom scripts scattered throughout the /etc folders that do various things, etc. So to confirm, there's no way to dd the entire drive and then just run whatever hardware discovery process the original installation process runs? Seems like there has to be an easier way than a fresh install | 02:31 |

| TJ- | cauthon: If you're cloning the raw drives, once the clone is done if the old server is being retired you don't need to change anything. If you intend keeping both running you need to change hostname and any statically allocated IPs. | 02:50 |
| cauthon | Note to self: Buy powerful enough Synology NAS that it can run Plex on itself :) | 02:50 |

Just change things on the old system (new hostname and IP and stop its services) | 02:52 |

| cauthon | I checked out FreeNAS and it was a cool toy, but the need for ECC ram and lots of it dissuaded me | 03:06 |

| SaberX01 | Naddiseo, while I dont have the answer your seeking, one or the other is rough enough, good luck :-) | 03:15 |
| cauthon | SaberX01: Thanks, is there an equivalent to Synology Hybrid RAID? IE software RAID with 1-disk failure tolerance, with no loss of capacity except for that of the largest drive in the array, and the ability to hot swap in new drives and expand capacity of an existing array? | 03:17 |
| cauthon | I thought I remembered seeing the vaunted "Synology Hybrid RAID" was just a nickname for an existing Linux technology that's out there and free/OSS, but can't remember the name | 03:18 |

| demophobia | Should I select 'Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal' for a wireless connection whose security is 'WPA2-PSK [AES]'? | 03:25 |
| demophobia | There is also the option 'WPA & WPA2 Enterprise', which I think is something else ... | 03:26 |
| cauthon | demophobia: Right, you want personal | 03:26 |
| cauthon | Enterprise is for when there's a server that hands out per-device credentials, not a pre-shared key (PSK) | 03:26 |
| SaberX01 | cauthon, I'd get a nice LSI, 3ware or Adaptec controller that supports RAID10 and call it a day, being sure to check that's it's Linux supported of course :-) | 03:26 |
| demophobia | Thank you. I'm still working to get wireless internet working; I will now try a different wireless adapter. Thank you, cauthon: That was my impression. | 03:27 |
| cauthon | SaberX01: Can RAID10 really expand on-demand? My impression is once you have the array, you're stuck with it unless your RAID controller happens to allow that in a non-standard way | 03:30 |
| SaberX01 | cauthon, On demand as in by usage ? not sure about that one, but adding mroe drive over time is simple. | 03:31 |
| cauthon | Oh, you can add more drives. Okay, thanks, I'll have to look into it. I'm just about to fill the Synology I have, so it's between buying one with more bays or moving over to my Ubuntu server for the NAS | 03:32 |

| demophobia | Should I be concerned that, after clicking "Install Updates" for "204 updates", the 'Applying changes' window says only 'Waiting' with no action in the progress bar, with a triangle with grey 'Details' text unresponsive to click (which click I think should open a window displaying text about the progress)? | 04:00 |

| mattwj2002 | hi hkr | 04:01 |
| linuxdog | duhamel, Yes unetbootin double checked the md5sums | 04:01 |
| duhamel | hm.. | 04:01 |
| linuxdog | duhamel, used brasero for the DVDs | 04:01 |

| duhamel | uefi? | 04:02 |
| linuxdog | duhamel, What? I checked the md5sums before installing onto a DVD or USB | 04:02 |
| linuxdog | duhamel, unsure | 04:02 |
| linuxdog | duhamel, how would I check | 04:02 |
| Bashing-om | demophobia; I would be concerned, give it a bit more time, fd non responsive, close it out, and open terminal -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <-, advise if erors shown. | 04:02 |
| linuxdog | how do I use this in XCHAT? | 04:03 |
| duhamel | yeah, but if it is a UEFI bios sometimes binaries are whitelisted and you have to play with bios settings. Is it a windows 8 machine? | 04:03 |

| duhamel | hi all. i have radeon HD 7560d onboard with using flgrx-updates additional driver. hooked up to tv with HDMI the test button under sound menu gives audio but i dont get it anywhere else does anybody have any suggestions | 04:04 |
| demophobia | Bashing-om: I've started a timer for 15 minutes. D'you think that is enough time for either 171.9-300 MB of updates to install, or for *something* to happen with the 'Applying changes' window? I think perhaps some glitch occurred with authenticating: I may have interacted with the Update Manager at the same time that language updates were installing (apparently in relation to Settings' Language preferences and LibreO | 04:05 |
| demophobia | ffice). | 04:05 |
| Bashing-om | demophobia; fd = if .. affirmative, sorry thought I "looked". | 04:05 |
| duhamel | linuxdog: in UEFI bios sometimes binaries are whitelisted and you have to play with bios settings. Is it a windows 8 machine? | 04:05 |
| linuxdog | duhamel, Windows XP pos, it's like 9 years old | 04:05 |

| mintydog | What up | 04:11 |
| === mintydog is now known as linuxdog | ||
| demophobia | Bashing-om: I opened the Ubuntu Software Center and there is an "Applying changes" progress bar about 85% completed. | 04:12 |
| Bashing-om | demophobia; Think it is now time enough, Close out USC - gracefully - I would go to terminal amd see what I could find for a status on the package management system, advised up commands. | 04:12 |
| demophobia | This progress bar seems to imply that the updates are installing, but shouldn't I be concerned that the window popped up by the Update Manager became non-responsive? ... | 04:12 |
| Bashing-om | demophobia; ZFR my last ! .. will take a wait and see attitude ! | 04:13 |
| Guinan | I just tried 'upgrading' my Eee 1000HD (900 mhz celeron) from Ubuntu Precise to Lubuntu Saucy. I'm really not liking LXDE. Can anyone recommend a lightweight alternative that works like Unity? | 04:13 |
| demophobia | likewise, i had firefox open, and a black bar near the top came up 'your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted' ... which i think is more evidence that updates are being installed | 04:13 |
| demophobia | I don't understand what that last comment means, "ZFR my last !" etc | 04:13 |
| Bashing-om | demophobia; Yeah .. looking better allah the time . | 04:14 |
| Bashing-om | demophobia; Not to be concerned with ZFR .. short hand for "disregard" . I get in too big of a hurry sometimes ! | 04:16 |
| demophobia | Ok, thank you. | 04:16 |
| M4dH4TT3r | allah like the koran? | 04:17 |
| demophobia | D: not sure if good: had to restart to finish updating, and 4 messages popped up briefly during the bootup screen which i didn't have time to read, indicating that multiple things had been disabled | 04:17 |
| Guinan | allah like allah yall should listen | 04:18 |

| linuxdog | duhamel, Didn't medibuntu stop supporting some hardware | 04:19 |
| Bashing-om | demophobia; Well. Reboot once more, then let's look, ->sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- , see what the PM has to say. | 04:19 |
| M4dH4TT3r | linuxdog nothing I bthink that is a repeat of my mentioning A:\ | 04:19 |

| SaberX01 | AndroidLoverInSF, doing more that two levels of upgrade generally not advised though, LTS to LTS well supported, but 04 all the way to 13.10 could be risky. | 05:02 |

| AndroidLoverInSF | can i re-install something to just reset it easily | 05:05 |

| ubuntu-gnome | are there things that system monitor will show me that lsof won't catch? there are no hd volumes mounted, and unless sth has changed in the last three years, I believe livecd does not create or use swap files on windows or any other hdd partitions... | 05:26 |
| ubuntu-gnome | it's also not typical for the hdd light to be on permanently... I'm beginning to suspect that the light is being set to on in spite of no actual hdd activity... not sure if that's possible | 05:27 |

| Hydr0p0nX | not sure what happened there ... | 05:27 |
| cauthon | diped327600: This particular laptop seemed to have it, it was billed as an HTPC so it had audio via HDMI and included a remote control. May have been some proprietary HP voodoo.

| SaberX01 | ubuntu-gnome, I think, tho I'd have to verify it, LiveCD uses a temfs (ram) as necessary for caching / swap or whatever | 05:29 |

| Hydr0p0nX | like i said, with 3.11 and nouveau hdmi audio out works | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | ok | 05:40 |
| Hydr0p0nX | just choppy and unstable | 05:40 |
| SaberX01 | ubuntu-gnome, maybe livecd-rootfs .. just a guess but seems logical | 05:40 |
| Hydr0p0nX | I'm thinking instability could be due to either mismatch alsa driver / utilities or something a little "off" with the nouveau version provided by ubuntu and the kernel being a 3.11 instead of 3.8 | 05:41 |

| Hydr0p0nX | if i could find a spdif header for it , i wouldn't care | 05:47 |
| Hydr0p0nX | FireStorms, you can grow the partition with a bootable gparted disk, but there is a risk of corruption (i've never had a problem with it) | 05:48 |

| lorfds | it runs fine when i execute php myfile.php from the command line...its just the web server serves the page instantly when i go to it (it is web scraping...so it takes a little to return results) | 06:56 |

| lorfds | ok more info....php is returning this when i try to run shell_exec inside a script and access it via the browser: "sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified Sorry, try again." | 07:35 |
| lorfds | how do i fix this errro? | 07:35 |
| somsip | lorfds: is the script running a command that requires sudo? | 07:37 |
| lorfds | well, one of the executables it is calling is owned by root | 07:39 |
| === raWrz_ is now known as raWrz | ||
| somsip | lorfds: many of them are. Doesn't mean they cannot be run by non-root. So, do any commands run by the script *require* sudo? | 07:40 |
| lorfds | sh: 1: /usr/local/bin/casperjs: Permission denied | 07:40 |
| lorfds | thats what happens without sudo | 07:40 |
| lorfds | so yes | 07:41 |
| lorfds | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Dec 28 00:07 casperjs -> /root/repositories/casperjs/bin/casperjs | 07:41 |
| lorfds | i haven't been able to change ownership of casperjs to another user | 07:41 |
| lorfds | not sure why...maybe its the symlink | 07:41 |
| somsip | lorfds: so when you run something without sudo, a message pops up asking for a password. It cannot do that if no TTY (terminal) is present. When PHP is running the script in the browser, no TTY is present. Hence the error | 07:41 |
| lorfds | if i chown www-data:www-data /root/repositories/casperjs/bin/casperjs nothing happens | 07:41 |
| M4dH4TT3r | numeratic? | 07:42 |
| somsip | lorfds: because if you do that (probably a bad idea) you need to chown -R to change the content and not just tghe directory | 07:42 |
| lorfds | I'm going to kill this vm anyway once I'm done...im just trying to get this working to start...then going to start over for real with actual security, etc | 07:43 |
| M4dH4TT3r | Run the following command; sudo tar --numeric-owner -axf manhattan-quantal-armhf-tar-20130221-1.tar.gz | 07:43 |
| M4dH4TT3r | Run the following command; sudo rsync -aP binary/casper/filesystem.dir/ /INSERTPATHTOSDCARD/ubuntu/ | 07:43 |
| somsip | lorfds: ignore him | 07:43 |
| M4dH4TT3r | :P | 07:43 |
| somsip | !helpful | M4dH4TT3r | 07:43 |
| M4dH4TT3r | what? | 07:43 |
| lorfds | M4dH4TT3r...that doesn't look malicious at all | 07:44 |
| M4dH4TT3r | malicious how? | 07:44 |
| somsip | lorfds: I don't quite understand what you're trying to achieve. casperjs is a node script tester yes? And you're trying to launch it from within a PHP script? | 07:45 |
| lorfds | I'm using it as a scraper | 07:45 |
| lorfds | this is a web service I'm running to do on demand scraping | 07:45 |

| ikonia | MarkDavies: poor linux support ? | 09:24 |
| Danato | SaberX01: sorry for the late reply, yes I'm using unity | 09:25 |
| MarkDavies | sorry, but it doesn't make sense. I've once managed to make this printer working. Now, it doesn't work for unknown, unclear reasons. | 09:25 |
| SaberX01 | pratz, Yes, it's no more or less safe than you internal drives. | 09:25 |
| clypso | Does this support go for terminal based commands? Not relating to ubuntu specifically but to terminal commands in general. Or is there a better channel for me to go to ? | 09:25 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: it does make sense, if your printer has bad linux support (as I know yours does) it will fail to work at random times/points due to it not being able to communicate with the OS properly | 09:25 |
| pratz | SaberX01: ok, here comes my main question | 09:25 |
| pratz | SaberX01: some time ubuntu detects it and some times it does not detect it | 09:26 |
| pratz | I am running 12.04 | 09:26 |
| MarkDavies | ikonia: I managed to establish the connection between the printer and the computer by installing the Ubuntu drivers. But then the data wasn't printed, just the printer accepted it, and that was all. | 09:26 |
| pratz | when it does not detect it, I replug it again | 09:26 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies as I said "poor linux support" | 09:26 |
| SaberX01 | Danato, you should be able to right click the network manager icon, Edit Connections, Wireless, Edit then Wireless Security .. you shoudl be able to enter your Wireless PW there. | 09:26 |
| MarkDavies | ikonia: it wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that it seems to have "poor windows support" from some time, as well. The system just refuses it to be installed. | 09:27 |
| clypso | Does this support go for terminal based commands? Not relating to ubuntu specifically but to terminal commands in general. Or is there a better channel for me to go to ? | 09:27 |
| MarkDavies | clypso: what do you want? | 09:27 |
| clypso | Im cerious on the difference between dir and ls | 09:27 |
| MarkDavies | just check man dir | 09:28 |
| MarkDavies | man ls | 09:28 |
| uBUXUBu | they want us to buy new printers all the time | 09:28 |
| MarkDavies | but I suppose that ls is more standard in Unix environments, clypso | 09:28 |
| Danato | SaberX01: its already filled in, and I ddnt tick the "Ask for password every time" option, but it still asks me for the password every time I boot up | 09:28 |
| MarkDavies | to be honest, before you asked you question, I wasn't even aware that there is such a command like "dir", clypso | 09:29 |
| MarkDavies | uBUXUBu: do you suggest that it was programmed so it would spoil itself at some point of time? | 09:29 |
| clypso | Yes. Well i know about cmd commands thru windows. So by playing around with it i noticed dir worked lol | 09:29 |
| SaberX01 | Danato, did you select available to all users on the edit screen ? | 09:29 |
| pratz | SaberX01: ?? | 09:30 |
| clypso | I wasnt sure if this was a ubuntu thing or if i just had a good ol flat unix shell i was working with would it come up ? | 09:30 |
| uBUXUBu | no i just think printer copmanies dont bother to keep updating drivers | 09:30 |
| Danato | SaberX01: yes | 09:30 |
| clypso | probably ls is just for linux and dir is something ubuntu added for the window friendly users | 09:30 |
| uBUXUBu | i recently called HP on this subject and they more or less told me that... | 09:30 |
| SaberX01 | pratz, Im not sure what would cause an intermittent connection, you could, if your well vers in UDEV rules, set a persistent rule for the device, but that's pretty advanced stuff. | 09:30 |
| MarkDavies | uBUXUBu: did you have similar problem as mine? | 09:31 |
| clypso | Alright markdavies. I appreciate your help anyhow =p | 09:31 |
| clypso | Does anyone know a good channel for unix ? | 09:31 |
| uBUXUBu | well actually i did but it was w7 and my hp deskjet 694 so i removed w7 installed ubuntu 1204 and it works perfect | 09:32 |

| MarkDavies | what is better | 09:50 |
| MarkDavies | purge or deinstall (dpkg)? | 09:50 |

| marshmn | MarkDavies: I think that they do different things - I'm not sure that one is 'better' than the other; I tend to do 'dpkg -P <package>' which removes the package and any associated configuration (ie. purge) | 09:53 |
| marshmn | MarkDavies: but it depends what you are wanting to do | 09:53 |
| SaberX01 | MarkDavies, purge is apt, it removes the target package and purges deps no longer in use. I normally use remove --purge. Is it better, matter of personal preference I think. | 09:54 |
| MarkDavies | SaberX01: isn't it possible to destroy files of another application with purge? | 09:55 |
| MarkDavies | I mean shared configuration files. | 09:55 |
| marshmn | SaberX01: that's not quite true - dpkg also has -P which is purge and means that a package and any config will be removed | 09:55 |
| SaberX01 | MarkDavies, normally no, it's generally safe to use, unless you have broken deps. | 09:55 |
| marshmn | 'purge' on dpkg and with APT are two different things | 09:56 |
| marshmn | so you need to be careful of the differences | 09:56 |
| marshmn | the man pages should help | 09:56 |
| SaberX01 | marshmn, I didn't mention dpkg, different tool & capabilities. | 09:56 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| marshmn | SaberX01: sure - just poingint it out since the original question was for dpkg | 09:57 |
| SaberX01 | marshmn, bit of both I think, I suppose with purge being in both :-) .. I try to stick with one method .. normally apt unless I need search or pkg selection stuff. | 09:58 |

| MarkDavies | Does rebooting after installation/deinstallation of packages make sense in Ubuntu? | 10:01 |
| Rory | Not generally MarkDavies , only if they are new drivers or something like that | 10:02 |
| SaberX01 | n1n0, Samba, SSHFS, NFS, I can go dig up the links but those all work pretty well for that. | 10:02 |
| MarkDavies | Rory: I mant that | 10:02 |
| Rory | MarkDavies: If you're concerned about programs still being open and wanting to be sure you've restared them for the upgrade to have properly taken effect, you might as well just log out and in again | 10:02 |
| Rory | MarkDavies: Yes, for new kernel versions and, for example, the nvidia driver, it's easiest to reboot | 10:02 |
| MarkDavies | so it is for printer drivers, probably | 10:03 |
| Rory | MarkDavies: probably not | 10:03 |
| Rory | MarkDavies: You could just restart cups: sudo service cups restart | 10:03 |

| TJ- | MarkDavies: Generally, when adding a printer, there is an option to choose your printer's exact model... which leads to the name of the actual driver for it (often-times a single driver supports many model variations) | 10:15 |
| raffo | hi | 10:23 |
| gry | hello :) | 10:23 |
| bibi234 | hi, on the terminal, how can I copy a long line from a file, when I open it with nano, and i try to select the line with the mouse and copy, I can only select the visible part. | 10:23 |
| MonkeyDust | bibi234 i guess you have to zdd slashes for spaces... or maybe try to put the line between quotes | 10:25 |
| MonkeyDust | add* | 10:26 |
| TJ- | bibi234: If you're working with a text file you'd be best opening the file with a GUI text editor instead | 10:26 |
| TJ- | bibi234: Assuming your intention is to copy to the clipboard; the other method would be to use something other than 'nano' to display the line(s) you want to copy, such as 'grep' | 10:27 |
| bibi234 | Tj- : I can't do this because it's not on my computer, I've opened a terminal to setup a ssh connection to a ubuntu server machine with no gui | 10:27 |
| SaberX01 | bibi234, man nano, see Ctrl +G for options, but Select: ALT + M + A Copy: ALT + 6 Paste: CTRL + U the 6 is line 6 etc etc | 10:27 |
| TJ- | bibi234: Do you wish to copy the text into the local system's clipboard, or into the remote system's 'nano' text buffer? | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | bibi234 and what line is it, you want to copy paste? | 10:28 |
| TJ- | bibi234: I think grep will be easiest. E.g. if you know the line(s) you want contain "dead fox" you can simply do "grep 'dead fox' /path/to/text.file" | 10:29 |
| bibi234 | TJ- : I've managed to do this with grep as you said, I was trying to get the build command for PHP "php -i | grep "Configure Command", but it's a lucky shot :) , if they were multiple lines similar I would have been stucked, anyway thx for your help | 10:30 |
| zamnuts | mirror/apt question (i haven't used ubuntu since dapper/edgy days), i've been swearing at apt-get for the past few hours, i've tried several west-coast to central mirrors, and apt-get update is just so slow (hangs for minutes at a time)... any insight? | 10:30 |
| zamnuts | when it isn't hanging, it flies (1-3 megabytes/sec), but these waiting for headers and other misc hangs are annoying | 10:31 |
| TJ- | bibi234: Yes... you can write more complex text selectors by piping output from one process to another, too for example: "grep 'dead fox' /path/to/text.file | grep 'did not jump over' | 10:31 |
| SaberX01 | bibi234, u can use awk as well to grab specific line numbers. | 10:32 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Sounds very much like you have a bad route between you and other locations... try doing a "tracepath xxxx.archive.ubuntu.com" and look for problematic routers being reported | 10:32 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, will check ty | 10:34 |
| TJ- | SaberX01: bibi234: for line number ranges, 'sed' would be a better choice. E.g. for lines 5-10: sed -n '5,10 p' | 10:35 |
| MonkeyDust | bibi234 it's called regular expressions | 10:36 |
| SaberX01 | TJ-, Lots of ways to do it awk 'NR==5&&NR==9' "file" easy peasy :-) | 10:36 |
| Nale | MonkeyDust: no, it is not. | 10:37 |
| Nale | MonkeyDust: Do you even know what is Linux? | 10:37 |
| Nale | MonkeyDust; it isn't called regular expressions. | 10:37 |
| MonkeyDust | Nale do I know you? | 10:37 |
| Nale | MonkeyDust: I am correcting your stupidity. | 10:37 |
| TJ- | SaberX01: That example doesn't work :) | 10:37 |
| MonkeyDust | Nale tone it down please | 10:38 |
| Nale | monkeydust; alright, jeez. | 10:38 |
| SaberX01 | TJ-, My bad, this works on my file: awk 'NR>=5&&NR<=9' "file" | 10:38 |
| TJ- | SaberX01: It'd be awk 'NR>=5&&NR<=10' | 10:39 |
| Nale | MonkeyDust: you cocksucking bastard, I'll fuck your mother behind a brothel. | 10:39 |
| Nale | FUCK YOU! | 10:39 |

| zamnuts | TJ-, my route is missing a valid gateway, but it is defined in /etc/networking/interfaces i ran `service networking restart` already, what am i missing? | 10:40 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: What does "ip route ls" show? Please pastebin the result | 10:41 |
| TJ- | bibi234: As an example of how *bad* piped text processing commands can be, take a look at this I wrote last night for helping a server admin trying to resolve a CPU lockup issue, It figures out which drivers handle which bits of hardware, without allowing the system to actually probe for any drivers: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6648944/ | 10:42 |

| gdi2k | hi, I installed LTSP afresh to try out fat clients. now I am having trouble chrooting: sudo ltsp-chroot -c -p leads to chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: No such file or directory | 10:43 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/fFbWFAym gateway is 172.16.1.1 FYI | 10:43 |
| gdi2k | (sorry, wrong channel) | 10:44 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, 172.16.5.0/24 is not occupied (172.16.1.0/24 is the only dhcp block) | 10:45 |
| cevarief | Hi, how to turn off nvidia VGA card? my laptop is using 2 vga, i giess i'm enough using intel vga and want to disable nvidia. | 10:45 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: The routing table looks OK as far as it goes, is 172.16.1.1 configured correctly for forwarding? If so, I'd suspect an ISP router close to you since your problems seem to affect several target servers in different locations (which would imply different hops the further away they are from you) | 10:46 |
| SaberX01 | tim167, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale | 10:47 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, the gateway is correctly configured i have upwards of 40 active hosts (static and dhcp), win/android/centos, this is the first ubuntu host that i have configured for a static IP | 10:47 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, i just figured i was missing something in my network config that might be specific to ubuntu, the kernel routing table (`route`) doesn't look good based on what i'm used to (win/rhel) | 10:48 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Could the problem be name resolution (DNS) rather than routing? That can be a common issue with static configurations | 10:48 |
| bibi234 | TJ- : you're crazy aha! Those are regular expressions right? I know a little bit about them, but the previous one you gave me about grabbing specific(s) line isn't a regular expression no? eg. "sed -n '2 p' file" (to get the second line), I've never seen this syntax for regular expressions | 10:49 |
| win5hit | hi there! I've got a fresh installed ubuntu 13.10 Server virtual machine. upon start i only get ipv6 addresses no ipv4... any idea? If i execute 'dhclient eth0' I've got a dhcp lease within fractals of a second and the interface is good to go.... | 10:49 |
| TJ- | bibi234: Yeah, I had to use 'sed' to transpose the captured text into a shell script that defines environment variables, then include that file, and use the variable values to format the output | 10:49 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, `cat /etc/resolv.conf` yield "nameserver 172.16.0.2" which is correct, don't think it is a DNS issue, especially since tracepathing an IP is borked | 10:49 |
| SaberX01 | bibi234, technically, tho Im def not a sed expert, it's not regex: http://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/html_node/Regular-Expressions.html | 10:50 |
| TJ- | bibi234: The "sed -n" says don't display lines by default. The '5,10' says select lines 5 through 10, and the " p" says print those lines. End result = you see only lines 5-10 | 10:50 |
| win5hit | no idea why i don't get ipv4 lease upon boot? | 10:52 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/4wYa8E0Y is the config for /etc/network/interfaces ...maybe a second set of eyes might help | 10:52 |
| TJ- | bibi234: You could add in regexp to that expression such as "sed -n '5,10 {/dead fox/ p}' " | 10:52 |
| zamnuts | win5hit, `auto eth0` in your network interfaces configuration? | 10:53 |
| SaberX01 | TJ-, bibi234 I need to work more wiht sed, but them long sed strings make my head spin .. lol .. | 10:53 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: You need to add a "dns-nameservers <IP address>" to the eth0 stanza | 10:54 |
| win5hit | zamnuts: good question. didn't change anything so far. just finished installing... thought it should be in there... as during the setup dhcp4 was successful | 10:54 |
| TJ- | SaberX01: me too! I build them bit by bit | 10:54 |
| win5hit | auto eth0 /CR /LF iface eth0 inet6 auto | 10:55 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, link to doc? can't seem to find anything official (or am i asking to much?) | 10:55 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: See "man resolvconf" and search for it using "/dns-nameservers" | 10:55 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, s/to much/too much/ | 10:56 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, duh. thanks. | 10:56 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: It's in the "ifup" section of that man-page | 10:56 |
| ultidesp | hi, every body. Using dmesg I got some ACPI errors like this "No handler for Region [ECOR] (ffff88022335cc18)", "Region EmbeddedControl (ID=3) has no handler". But my laptop works well. Should I take these errors as big matters? | 10:56 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, yes it is, found it, ty again | 10:57 |
| bibi234 | TJ- : hum I'll take a look at the documentation, it looks like special expressions, to me regular expressions were like '/[a-z0-9](.*)/', I had never heard about line numbers and so | 10:57 |
| linuxlite | hello | 10:57 |
| linuxlite | how to resset eeprom for canon ip1980 | 10:57 |
| linuxlite | anyone here knows canon ip1980 eeprom resetter for ubuntu | 10:57 |
| win5hit | ok so the ubuntu installer decided i don't need ipv4, as i have a working IPv6 configuration... not too smart... | 10:57 |
| TJ- | bibi234: Yes, I just used 'address ranges' which can be line numbers like '5,10' or regexps like '/start/,/end/' | 10:57 |
| zamnuts | bibi234, TJ-'s example is specific to sed, sed is a beast, built on top of general regex (extended regex, etc.) | 10:57 |
| win5hit | is this a feature?(or a known bug) ;) | 10:59 |
| TJ- | win5hit: Are you using Network Manager's applet to configure the interface? | 10:59 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, you were right about the kernel routing, i forgot to use route -n initially, i'm seeing the proper gateway in there | 11:00 |
| win5hit | this is the gui thing right? nope it's console only | 11:00 |
| thom_r | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/IPv6 | 11:00 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, also updated the DNS, still can't ping 8.8.8.8 nor tracepath google's IP meh. can't even tracert from my laptop to the host, what on earth... | 11:00 |
| ultidesp | I got some acpi errors while booting, but my laptop works well. How can I fix this? The errors are something like "No handler for Region [ECOR] (ffff88022335cc18)". Any help will be appreciated. | 11:00 |
| TJ- | OK, so the system is a server or terminal-only, which means networking defined in /etc/network/interfaces, correct? | 11:01 |
| win5hit | TJ yes | 11:01 |
| bibi234 | so for example on this example "sed -n '5,10 {/dead fox/ p}' ", the regular expression is only on this placeholder "/dead fox/" right? | 11:01 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Sounds like some significant issue somewhere ... firewall per-chance? | 11:01 |
| SaberX01 | ultidesp, after a bit of searching that appears to be som sort of thermal control (fan speed), are you seeing any heat issues ? If not, then Id' say no, but if you are, may want to dig into that a bit more. | 11:01 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, the system is a fresh install of ubuntu server x86_64 latest non-LTS version, firewall perhaps... ufw in ubuntu, right? | 11:02 |
| TJ- | bibi234: Yes "/dead fox/" is the regexp, but in my example it only contains literal characters | 11:02 |
| win5hit | i already got v4 working just needed on more line: "iface eth0 inet dhcp" | 11:02 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Do a quick manual check with "sudo iptables -nvL" make sure the default policies aren't DROP, if if they are, that other rules enable the traffic | 11:02 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, ufw status is inactive, iptables -L has empty chains | 11:03 |
| ultidesp | SaberX01: no heat issues. It seems every things is OK. strange. | 11:03 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, confirmed with -nv switches, no DROPs | 11:03 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: OK, so you're back to routing! Check those IPs | 11:03 |
| TJ- | win5hit: So you've fixed it now? | 11:03 |
| win5hit | yes | 11:04 |
| SaberX01 | ultidesp, is may be trying to adjust the speed, and can't, so if the speed is ok, then probably not an issue. But I'd keep an eye on it to be safe. | 11:04 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Can you ping the default gateway (172.16.1.1) ? | 11:04 |
| win5hit | only needed one more line, as written above. but i was wondering that you have to do that... the installer only took the v6 config to the /etc/network/interfaces | 11:04 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Could the gateway be dropping the packets in its firewall? | 11:04 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, nope, i AM ssh'd in tho | 11:04 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, the gateway doesn't drop ICMP. | 11:04 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, there is a specific rule to say so :) | 11:05 |
| TJ- | win5hit: That does sound a bit unfriendly; possibly post a bug against ubiquity (the GUI installer) or d-i (debian-installer) about it | 11:05 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, can't ping the gateway | 11:05 |
| ultidesp | SaberX01: the fan works well. And 13.10 seems better than 13.04, my laptop is cooler. But the only thing looks not normal is the fan speed can not show by using "sensors" command. Thx very much . I will keep an eye on it. | 11:05 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Is this a wired or wireless interface? | 11:05 |
| TJ- | I assume wired but sometimes.... interface names get munged by udev rules | 11:06 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, i can ping the ubuntu server (172.16.5.10) from my laptop (same network, dhcp'd tho), and can ping back, FYI | 11:06 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: does "ifconfig eth0" show error counts or anything? Do the Tx/Rx counts increase? | 11:06 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, server is wired (shares the same switch with other working hosts), my laptop is wireless (but works just fine on other hosts) | 11:07 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: But 172.16.5.10 is the IP of eth0 on that system, so you would be able to ping it. | 11:07 |
| marcuspbaird | howdy | 11:07 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, yea receive/transmit bytes are increasing | 11:07 |
| SaberX01 | Hello | 11:07 |

| marcuspbaird | by linuxlite | 11:07 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces ... I suspect there is an error | 11:07 |
| marcuspbaird | why are linux lite users coming here I wounder | 11:09 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: no matter, I found the link you posted for it | 11:09 |
| SaberX01 | marcuspbaird, how that relates to ubuntu support I do not know, but LL users could probably answer that ques for you :-) | 11:10 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: OK, so eth0 has 172.16.5.10, the gateway is 172.16.1.1, and you can't ping the gateway? | 11:10 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, more diagnostics (with an updated interfaces config): http://pastebin.com/ZqrJyvYe | 11:11 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, correct, cannot ping the gateway, nor outside hosts, but CAN ping other hosts on the subnet | 11:11 |
| marcuspbaird | lol I don't get on to well with valtan happy to help out the liux lite users though on his distro | 11:12 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, to confirm i am ABLE to ping the gateway from other hosts on the subnet | 11:12 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, in the interim, thanks for the help so far | 11:12 |
| SaberX01 | Why is it a 5.10 IP in 1.1 subrange ? | 11:12 |
| zamnuts | SaberX01, my netmask is a /16, just a way of categorizing stuff on our (small) network | 11:13 |
| SaberX01 | Ahh ok | 11:13 |
| zamnuts | SaberX01, .1.x is all dhcp, .0.x is all infrastructure, .5.x is all temp stuff | 11:13 |
| asso1992 | hi | 11:15 |
| waperboy | Thinking of using fdupes command for the PlayOnLinux 'windows' folders to hardlink all duplicate files, since all the wineprefix folders have many duplicate files, would this be safe to do? | 11:15 |
| SaberX01 | waperboy, probably a question for #playonlinux | 11:19 |
| bahamas | anyone know where kindle reader stores its files when downloaded for offline reading? | 11:20 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: That output shows a ping 172.16.1.9 is good... how about a ping to the default gateway? If that fails then I'd check out the gateway settings. | 11:20 |
| waperboy | SaberX01, not really, I'm more concerned about hardlinks in general I think | 11:20 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Is this PC directly wired to the gateway, or with some switch? If a switch, is it managed or unmanaged? | 11:20 |
| zamnuts | switch (2 actually), unmanaged | 11:21 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, ^ | 11:21 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: I'd deploy tcpdump now on the host and the gateway to see what packets are doing | 11:22 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: "sudo tcpdump -ni eth0 icmp and host 172.16.5.10" | 11:22 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/tRp3tkfU | 11:22 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, meh, i was hoping it wouldn't come to that... ok :P | 11:23 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: The switches are cascaded? | 11:23 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, i was looking for a "oh dude... u missed a ____ directive in ____" | 11:23 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, yes... for now | 11:24 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, ugly, i know, the physical topology is being refactored, and right now i'm in a lull, coincidentally i'm having this problem you're helping me troubleshoot | 11:24 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: I'm just thinking... if you've got PC > SW1 > SW2 >GW ... how will ARP be handled when PC says "who has 172.16.1.1" ? will the switches figure it out? | 11:25 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: assuming they're layer-2 switches | 11:25 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: easy way to test that - wire directly from PC to SW2 (the switch connected to the GW) | 11:26 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, great question. (thinking) | 11:27 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, will test... should have a long enough cat5 around here somewhere.... | 11:28 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, FYI i have 2 other physical hosts on the cascaded switch config (each with 4 VMs) and they're running just peachy. | 11:28 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, ok got it bypassing the second switch, still getting 100% packet loss on pings | 11:32 |

| hyutyi | hi | 11:32 |
| lotuspsychje | hyutyi: hello, what can we do for you? | 11:32 |
| hyutyi | UEFI is unable to set ubuntu as a priority boot entry | 11:33 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: OK, so I'm starting to wonder about a bad physical connection, although that doesn't explain the ping to 172.16.1.9 working, unless the problem is a flakey switch port | 11:33 |
| zamnuts | lotuspsychje, etherape sounds good... does it require GUI? i'm running CLI | 11:33 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: could that PC be preferring IPv6 over IPv4 ? | 11:33 |
| hyutyi | i have: HDD, USB flash, CD-Rom options | 11:33 |
| lotuspsychje | zamnuts: oh yes it needs gui, sorry | 11:34 |
| SaberX01 | That's what I was thinking too .. bad NIC .. SW port not likely now that he's on the other switch. | 11:34 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: The ping argues against an IPv6 issue | 11:34 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, not running IPv6 on the local net (unless it could be confused?) | 11:34 |
| lotuspsychje | hyutyi: did you disable secureboot in bios? | 11:34 |
| zamnuts | lotuspsychje, np, thanks for the suggestion tho :) | 11:34 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: I'd like to see the tcpdump from the GW when the PC is pinging it... this could be down to a bad routing table on the GW. can you pastebin the GW's "ip route ls" | 11:35 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, the bad physical connection could only be on the host itself, but yea, doesn't make sense when the comms with other hosts on the network are fine | 11:35 |
| lotuspsychje | !uefi | hyutyi | 11:35 |
| hyutyi | I have to press F9 ->> ubuntu (HP-XXXX). There is another option called "Ubuntu" but it boots W8 | 11:35 |
| ubottu | hyutyi: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 11:35 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Because if you've not defined the route on the GW as a /16 this would be an expected result | 11:35 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, gateway is a cisco asa... don't have the luxury of ip route ls, but i'll get you the routing table, hang on | 11:35 |
| lotuspsychje | hyutyi: you want a dualboot or single boot ubuntu? | 11:35 |
| hyutyi | Legacy enbled (SB disabled) | 11:36 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, oh the route on the GW is /16, but i will check. (i've had previous 172.16.5.x hosts before) | 11:36 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: The ping 172.16.1.9 would work if that host is directly reached via the switches | 11:36 |
| hyutyi | dual boot | 11:36 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, yes it (was) directly reached via switches | 11:36 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: can you mirror the switch port on the ASA to another port and capture it with tcpdump on another host to analyse it? | 11:37 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, it is now hooked up to cisco appliance directly (single VLAN, so no complexities there) | 11:37 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: What we need to see, is what packets are reaching the GW's ethernet interface. | 11:37 |
| zamnuts | ok | 11:37 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, ^ (ok) | 11:37 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: I'm looking for the packets arriving from PC but not being replied to, either because of a route or firewall rule | 11:38 |
| === onder`_ is now known as onder` | ||
| zamnuts | TJ-, wilco | 11:38 |
| lotuspsychje | hyutyi: not sure mate, try the uefi url i triggered to you | 11:39 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, FYI, i'm seeing the ubuntu host (5.10) on the ASA's ARP table | 11:40 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, MAC is a match | 11:40 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Which argues that the ASA is the culprit, not replying | 11:40 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, sorry, i don't follow | 11:42 |
| hyutyi | I cannot set ubuntu (HP-(numbers)) on BIOS setup because that option is not available. However, if I try Esc+F9 (Boot selection) ubuntu option appears. Annoying. | 11:44 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: If the ASA 'know's about the PC via it's ARP table then it must be receiving packets... but it is not replying to them | 11:44 |
| hyutyi | I lost my connection again | 11:44 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, route table on ASA: http://pastebin.com/pkExGYqr | 11:44 |
| hyutyi | BIOS Firmware is also updated | 11:44 |
| zamnuts | TJ-, that is true, unless the ASA is replying, but the reply is being lost | 11:45 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: Hence why I suggest a mirror-port to another host/interface so you can analyse it via tcpdump | 11:46 |
| hyutyi | ? | 11:46 |
| TJ- | zamnuts: But based on experience I'm pointing the finger at the ASA configuration. Have you tried changing the PC's static IP temporarily to one in the ASA's DHCP range? | 11:47 |
| zammit | TJ-, i haven't had a chance to do the tcpdump yet (sorry!) | 11:47 |
| zammit | TJ-, good point, will try a known range or two... | 11:47 |

| hyutyi | *way to configure touchscreen (no touchpad) to do (Up and down) sliding the finger? | 11:49 |
| donc3 | somebody could say me what is the lastest kernel that supports an AGP graphic card??? | 11:49 |
| hyutyi | it only does that on gnome control | 11:49 |
| TJ- | donc3: All kernels will... AGP is just a variation of the PCI bus | 11:50 |
| zammit | TJ-, ok using something on the DHCP range is working, bingo. i'll try a different staic on the .5 block | 11:50 |
| hyutyi | on other programs ex. chromium it acts as a "left mouse button" | 11:51 |
| donc3 | I have an AGP card an Ati 3850 HD | 11:51 |
| TJ- | donc3: Problems with unrecognised AGP cards will be more to do with no driver support for no-longer-manufactured devices | 11:51 |
| bibi234 | there are some scripts (like GIT) which are able to open a command line editor with some content, and then ask the user to edit it, (eg. "git commit"), how can I do this in my own command line script, if possible, without creating a temp file? | 11:51 |
| donc3 | and it gives me some problems | 11:51 |
| TJ- | donc3: Is it listed if you do "lspci -nn" ? | 11:51 |
| donc3 | But one user from here help me to upgrade to an older kernel an it worked | 11:51 |
| TJ- | zammit: Yay! | 11:52 |
| donc3 | but now I need to do it another time, and I doesn't remember the version | 11:52 |
| TJ- | zammit: I'd guess the ASA is configured to only pass packets within the defined ranges | 11:52 |
| SaberX01 | bibi234, what lang is the script? | 11:52 |
| zammit | TJ-, ok, so i tried 172.16.5.35 (was .10)... and it works as well | 11:52 |

| === Locutus`Natale is now known as XxLocutusxX | ||
| donc3 | TJ- yes, it is listed | 11:53 |
| TJ- | zammit: Could be... flush the ARP table? | 11:53 |
| bibi234 | SaberX01: it can be a shell script, or PHP, or anything else if there is a better option | 11:53 |
| TJ- | zammit: Could one of the switches have a stale table? | 11:53 |
| donc3 | TJ- it could be 3.10 kernel with open source radeon drivers? | 11:54 |
| TJ- | donc3: OK, so what exactly happens? Does the GUI desktop fail to start? start in low resolution? appear corrupted? | 11:54 |
| bibi234 | SaberX01: (because there is no script yet, I haven't started it) | 11:55 |
| donc3 | TJ- sometimes it freezes and blocks | 11:55 |
| TJ- | bibi234: "git commit -e " uses a temporary file for the editor | 11:55 |
| SaberX01 | bibi234, so you want to prompt the user to edit, then after edits to a commit? | 11:55 |
| hyutyi | also I have a useless Synaptic touchpad which is detected by kernel but doesn't move | 11:55 |
| zammit | TJ-, ok, i'm blind, the MAC on the ASA's ARP table was off by 2 digits (b3e3 vs b5fd) (facepalm) | 11:55 |
| TJ- | donc3: OK ... and when that happens are there any clues in "/var/log/kern.log" ? | 11:55 |
| TJ- | zammit: *spanx* :D | 11:55 |
| zammit | TJ-, so it is def an ARP table problem, confirmed, i must've used the .5 on another NIC a few hours ago... | 11:55 |
| hyutyi | gsynaptics tool doesn't work | 11:55 |
| zammit | TJ-, thanks for the help, and not related to ubuntu either | 11:56 |

| donc3 | TJ- I was using Ubuntu 13.10 but yesterday I change to elementary OS | 11:58 |

| demon^eye | anyone knows if firefox 26 for linux is 64 bit? | 11:59 |
| TJ- | bibi234: You could do, for example: " echo -n "Please edit this text\nLine #2" | vim - " | 11:59 |
| SaberX01 | bibi234, there's lots of ways to do that. The amount of data will determine which is the best approach, one line, paragraph, config item etc. | 11:59 |
| TJ- | zammit: makes you wonder where the lost packets were going! | 11:59 |

| SaberX01 | bibi234, also, if there is a specific format the data must adhere too. You can use Perl, Bash, Ruby all sorts. | 12:00 |

| pepe221_ | i'm using ubunutu since 12.4 | 12:30 |
| lotuspsychje | pepe221_: and 12.04 didnt run your card smoothly? | 12:31 |
| TJ- | djtorr3: I thought the issue was with the nvidia device? If its an optimus system with dual GPUs you'll need a recent nvidia driver, or the bumblebee driver | 12:31 |
| pepe221_ | it happend the same | 12:31 |
| === emil is now known as Guest39210 | ||
| djtorr3 | TJ-, line says 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0a16] (rev 09) | 12:31 |
| lotuspsychje | pepe221_: maybe try a nomodeset or xubuntu/lubuntu | 12:32 |
| pepe221_ | I'm searching on google and people says that is a problem with the kernel | 12:32 |
| pepe221_ | I need an old kernel | 12:32 |
| pepe221_ | that supports an AGP card | 12:33 |
| pepe221_ | with open source drivers | 12:33 |
| SaberX01 | Older kernel goign to mean older distro. | 12:34 |
| SaberX01 | Or allot of custom work. | 12:34 |
| TJ- | djtorr3: As the system has two different GPUs, that's an Nvidia Optimus technology, so you need to focus on that issue. It isn't a simple video-driver issue, you'll probably need to look at the Bumblebee driver which is the open-source GPU-switcher | 12:35 |
| jemark | pepe221_: what is your pc? | 12:35 |
| TJ- | pepe221_: Can you pastebin the output of "lspci -nn" please? | 12:35 |
| pepe221_ | jemark a desktop pc | 12:35 |
| djtorr3 | TJ-, so i'd look at installing bumblebee first then the nvidia drivers? | 12:35 |
| sitown | sitdown | 12:36 |
| SaberX01 | pepe221_, what year roughly? | 12:36 |
| lotuspsychje | jemark: ati 3850 agp on ubuntu 13.10 | 12:36 |
| sitown | Sorry, wrong place i wrote | 12:36 |
| pepe221_ | TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/6651005/ | 12:36 |
| TJ- | djtorr3: I can't tell you; I've not dabbled with Optimus personally, but I have seen experts in here talking about it. It appears it can be a pain! I read that recent nvidia drivers support it (I use nvidia 331 from the Xorg Edgers PPA, for example, which is supposed to) | 12:36 |
| win5hit | hmmm, I've got a question that might be "hard" to answer... I've a ubuntu 13.10 server running as virtual machine on hyper-v, and I've enabled dynamic memory. the guest tells the host that it currently needs 589MB of RAM. but 'top' tells me: KiB Mem: 673072 total, 312684 used, 360388 free, 16592 buffers | 12:37 |
| pepe221_ | SaberX01 8-9 years approx | 12:37 |
| djtorr3 | TJ-, as i'm reading about it it looks like ubuntu itself supports it a little better on the newer versions too, appreciate the help, here's to a night of debugging i guess | 12:37 |
| Daekdroom | win5hit, do you have zRAM enabled in the guest? | 12:38 |
| TJ- | djtorr3: Good luck :) | 12:38 |
| win5hit | Daekdroom: let me google that... never heard before :) | 12:38 |
| nashant | Hi guys, I've got a problem. Just bought a new laptop and the touchpad doesn't have separate buttons, they're under the bottom corners. The issue is that if I touch these areas it moves the pointer. I've tried using synclient AreaBottomEdge, but that then disables the whole touchpad if I have my thumb on the dead area. Anyone know of a solution? | 12:38 |
| lotuspsychje | !zram | win5hit | 12:38 |
| ubottu | win5hit: zRAM is a module of the Linux kernel which increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM, useful on systems with less RAM, and SSDs. Install zram-config to enable zRAM. | 12:38 |
| TJ- | pepe221_: You could be suffering bug #574884 | 12:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Daekdroom: can that be used on a desktop with ssd aswell? | 12:39 |
| ubottu | bug 574884 in xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) "RV670 card does not have 3d enabled out of box" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/574884 | 12:39 |
| Daekdroom | win5hit, you can find out whether it's enabled by running "dmesg | grep zram". If it is enabled, you'll see about 6 or 7 lines and one of them is something like "zram: Created 4 device(s) ..." | 12:39 |
| Daekdroom | lotuspsychje, yes | 12:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Daekdroom: what are the advantages of this? | 12:39 |
| pepe221_ | TJ- and how could I fix it? | 12:40 |
| win5hit | Daekdroom: no zram enabled | 12:40 |
| Daekdroom | lotuspsychje, less paging, so in the case of SSD it means less spent writing cycles and longer drive life. Also, I'd guess better performance in situations the system is nearly out of free RAM. | 12:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Daekdroom: nice hint mate tnx! | 12:40 |
| TJ- | pepe221_: search for and read the comments in bugs related to the RV670 and test suggested work-arounds or fixes | 12:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Daekdroom: you wouldnt know any other gui ssd tweak tools perhaps? | 12:41 |
| win5hit | Daekdroom: so you are telling me that i want zram? | 12:41 |
| Daekdroom | lotuspsychje, no, I don't. | 12:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Daekdroom: ok tnx anyway | 12:41 |
| === ib is now known as Guest15139 | ||
| TJ- | pepe221_: compare your system's configuration to those described in bug reports to identify if your system is very similar in configuration to that reported in the bug | 12:41 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 12:41 |
| lotuspsychje | BluesKaj: hello mate! | 12:42 |
| Daekdroom | win5hit, nope, I was trying to figure out why the values were different. | 12:42 |
| pepe221_ | TJ- my kernel is an old kernel?? | 12:42 |
| win5hit | Daekdroom: ok :) | 12:42 |
| BluesKaj | hi lotuspsychje | 12:43 |
| pepe221_ | 3.2.0-57-generic | 12:43 |
| TJ- | pepe221_: Have you tested the most recent liveCD image (for 13.10) to see if the problem still exists there? | 12:43 |
| win5hit | Daekdroom: so from the values reported by top i would say the system currently uses 312MB RAM, right? | 12:44 |
| lotuspsychje | TJ-: he says he got issues on all ubuntu versions with that card | 12:45 |
| Daekdroom | win5hit, 305MB | 12:45 |
| win5hit | Daekdroom: ah, devided by 1024? i was lazy... :) | 12:45 |
| TJ- | lotuspsychje: Yeah, but trying to get specifics. pepe221_ Have you seen/tested the solution at http://askubuntu.com/questions/316490/fixed-radeon-hd-3870-driver-installation-issue-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise | 12:45 |

| demon^eye | anyone? | 13:20 |
| ObrienDave | demon^eye, safer to stay with the repo versions | 13:20 |
| SaberX01 | BluesKaj, yeah understand grub rescue> is for grub, grub> is Grub2 .. but dont thing he can get to a console form there. | 13:21 |
| demon^eye | ObrienDave, : what do u mean? | 13:21 |
| SaberX01 | *think | 13:21 |
| ObrienDave | demon^eye, the repo versions are more stable | 13:22 |
| demon^eye | ObrienDave, "repo" stand for? | 13:22 |
| ObrienDave | demon^eye, repository. where you get the "software center" versions | 13:23 |
| demon^eye | ObrienDave, : roger that :D | 13:23 |
| SaberX01 | !repo | demon^eye, | 13:23 |
| ubottu | demon^eye,: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 13:23 |
| demon^eye | SaberX01, : 10x | 13:24 |

| ubottu | demon^eye, Also See:: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | SaberX01, I probly used "Boot Repair". it's helped me in some of those situations | 13:28 |
| SaberX01 | demon^eye, looks like 2.1.2 is slatted for 14.04 .. fouund some PPA stuff, but unless your really need 2.1x .. ObrienDave is right, probably best to hang where your at until it's released. | 13:30 |
| demon^eye | SaberX01, : "release" u mean via ubuntu software center? | 13:32 |
| SaberX01 | BluesKaj, I think BR is still in a PPA .. hope they release that soon, seems allot of folks could use that given the number of folks could use it here rescently. | 13:32 |
| SaberX01 | demon^eye, yes, should be released when 14.04 is released. | 13:33 |
| BluesKaj | SaberX01, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 13:33 |
| hkr | is mate any good ? | 13:34 |
| demon^eye | SaberX01, : u mean ubuntu 14.04 ? will it be LTS also ? and where can i see any future release of UbuntU ? 10x :) | 13:34 |
| hkr | or should i use gnome 2 > | 13:34 |
| SaberX01 | BluesKaj, yeah, have to add the PPA to get it. | 13:34 |
| cfhowlett | demon^eye, for development releases see #ubuntu+1 | 13:35 |
| demon^eye | ok | 13:35 |
| cfhowlett | hkr, yes. no. how would we know what appeals to you. no way to answer. | 13:35 |
| SaberX01 | demon^eye, Yes Saucy has 2.0.8 and Trusty has 2.1.2: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=saucy&keywords=vlc | 13:36 |
| hkr | I'm asking about stability and you know... freedom and stuff | 13:36 |
| Rory | hkr: In my opinion, Mate is the perfect desktop environment, however | 13:36 |
| jj995 | is there anything dangerous about using pull-debian-source/mk-build-deps/debuild to install a package from another distribution? I can always uninstall with apt-get remove, right? | 13:36 |
| Rory | !best | 13:36 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:36 |
| hkr | ok Rory. its xfce for me :D | 13:36 |
| cfhowlett | jj995, mixing distros frequently leads to unpredicatable if not disasterous results | 13:37 |
| hkr | which file manager does it use by default, Rory ? | 13:37 |
| BluesKaj | SaberX01, fortunately I used the cd , since I didn't have usb boot capability at the time | 13:38 |
| jj995 | cfhowlett: disastrous results including not being able to just apt-get remove the thing you added to revert the disaster? | 13:38 |
| TJ- | jj995: Depends on the source of the 'source' :p If it's upstream Debian, for most packages, it'll be OK. But as always, it depends on the specific package and differences against the Ubuntu version | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | jj995, yes that would be one possibility | 13:38 |
| SaberX01 | BluesKaj, It looks pretty good, goes through all the stuff we plow through here on a daily basis. | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | jj995, consider the attempt a nice science experiment - probably not something to risk your production environment on ... | 13:39 |
| jj995 | ok, I'll just build the package my self under /usr/local then | 13:39 |
| TJ- | jj995: I generally add a "debian/" directory to source packages I build in order to take advantage of dpkg/apt facilities later | 13:40 |
| SaberX01 | jj995, have a look at checkinstall, makes it easy to pull it back out if things go the wrong way. | 13:40 |

| cfhowlett | eoifj1, details? crystal ball is in the shop ... | 13:45 |
| TJ- | eoifj1: If package libVital is removed, everything that depends on libVital, and everything that depends on packages that depend on libVital, get removed | 13:46 |
| eoifj1 | I think I was installing gvim yesterday. The removal of about 100 packages happened so fast I could not stop it | 13:46 |
| TJ- | eoifj1: If you need to reinstall them, you ought to be able to find a log of what was removed in /var/log/apt/history.log | 13:47 |
| jj995 | SaberX01: usually I just run make install with some preface directory like /usr/local/boost so that I can just remove /usr/local/boost if I want, but that makes it a pain since it isn't in standard search paths -- checkinstall lets you get best of both worlds, right? standard search paths + easy to remove | 13:47 |

| SaberX01 | jj995, Yup there's also some auto stuff that's pretty nifty too. | 13:47 |
| eoifj1 | at the last boot I wrote a .py script to reset them to manually installed, it seemed to work, but I didn't get all of them | 13:48 |

| TJ- | _5andr0: Arghh, it might be it was optional in Precise, but I can't recall now | 14:25 |
| TJ- | _5andr0: Not sure if the Quantal r8168-dkms package would work but in theory it might, since it is a source-only package. It depends on whether specific kernel patches are needed/included for the Precise kernel. | 14:26 |
| freefox | and it says "Error writing headers; rc = [-28]" on the console | 14:27 |
| TJ- | _5andr0: You could save a lot of grief if you could temporarily plug in a spare network card or USB network adapter to gain network access... anything you can 'borrow' from another system temporarily? | 14:27 |
| === jens is now known as Guest50818 | ||
| _5andr0 | yea, that could work. what can i do when internet is working? | 14:28 |
| TJ- | _5andr0: You could ssh to it from your warm and cosy PC, and then install software/pastebin results of commands so we can help you better | 14:28 |
| _5andr0 | great idea. brb | 14:29 |
| freefox | help! | 14:29 |
| TJ- | _5andr0: OK, I have to go run the huskies so will be away for a while; someone else should be able to pick up helping you | 14:29 |
| _5andr0 | okay hf ;) thx | 14:29 |
| pikaren | why is mint ranked ahead of ubuntu on distrowatch | 14:30 |
| k1l | pikaren: that is a topic for the offtopic channel: #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:32 |
| Ronn5241 | Distrowatch just measures the number of views the main website gets, it isn't the measure of how many users use those distros | 14:32 |

| ROPA | is there anyway to have a program play an audio file at full volume ev en if the master volume control is set to a low volume level??? | 14:34 |
| ObrienDave | ROPA, no, that's why it's called the MASTER volume | 14:35 |
| === ColdKey is now known as ColdKeyboard | ||
| ROPA | ObrienDave can a command line direct the master volume to be turned up to full, play the short audio file, then redue the master volume control back to its previous setting??? Is there really no way to do this?? | 14:38 |
| CrzyUchiha2486 | sup guys, trying to install mpv player, new to linux, any help would be appreciated | 14:39 |
| jrib | ROPA: sure, you can do that. You can also set volume to more than 100% for the application | 14:39 |
| xangua | !find mpv | 14:39 |
| ubottu | Found: libdevel-dumpvar-perl | 14:39 |
| CrzyUchiha2486 | I've tried a couple of guides to build it my self with no luck unfortunetly | 14:40 |
| CrzyUchiha2486 | !find mpv | 14:42 |
| ubottu | Found: libdevel-dumpvar-perl | 14:42 |
| ROPA | jrib that works once, until the system reboots- | 14:43 |
| jrib | ROPA: what do you mean by "that". I mentioned two options | 14:43 |
| djangonoob | I have got a new laptop and switched from 12.04 to 13.10 and I think my sony eye-toy which I am using for a python project is not working anymore | 14:43 |
| djangonoob | I see it with lsusb | 14:43 |
| djangonoob | I think the python code should be correct | 14:44 |
| ObrienDave | "sony eye-toy", wasn't that for a PS3? | 14:44 |
| djangonoob | it is the older one | 14:44 |
| ROPA | jrib when I set the sound system to play wide open for a particular application, the next time the system is rebooted, it has to be adjusted again. | 14:44 |
| djangonoob | for ps2 (or ps1?) | 14:44 |
| jrib | ROPA: ok | 14:44 |
| jrib | ROPA: your question is how to make that persistent? | 14:45 |
| eoij | still no graphics here :/ | 14:45 |
| djangonoob | ObrienDave, it was working with the old laptop and ubuntu 12.04 | 14:45 |
| ROPA | jrib persistance might make it work......... | 14:45 |
| ObrienDave | djangonoob, don't know what to tell ya. sorry | 14:46 |
| jrib | ROPA: i'm trying to figure out what your actual question is. | 14:46 |
| eoij | "trusty" tahr | 14:46 |
| ROPA | jrib I will elaborate............ | 14:46 |
| === onder`_ is now known as onder` | ||
| ObrienDave | eoij, "trusty" support is in #ubuntu+1 | 14:47 |
| ROPA | I want a notification to be heard even if the master volume is turned down.........in my case, I want xchat irc program to advise me when my brother comes online and I need to be able to hear it even if I'm in the next room and the master volume is set to a low setting. | 14:48 |
| dramon | i am using ubuntu 13.10 and have installed java plugin but firefox is not running javascript so i wonder if someone can help me figure it out | 14:48 |
| ROPA | jrib I want a notification to be heard even if the master volume is turned down.........in my case, I want xchat irc program to advise me when my brother comes online and I need to be able to hear it even if I'm in the next room and the master volume is set to a low setting. | 14:48 |
| jrib | ROPA: so as I suggested before, either make the app raise master volume, play, restore master volume or have the app raise its application volume past 100% | 14:49 |
| eoij | It was not the thars fault, it was mine. I guess it would also happen with other releases | 14:49 |
| jrib | ROPA: you need to decide on one of these options (or suggest a new one), then try to use it/implement it | 14:50 |
| davor | hello | 14:50 |
| eoij | The interesting thing is, when I do a full restart on the lightdm service, i hear the login sound every time, now the terminal in which I started it indicates that no output was found | 14:51 |
| djangonoob | how can I find out what ubuntu 12.04 does with my eye-toy after I connect it what ubuntu 13.10 does not? | 14:51 |
| eoij | tty1 says: "Failed to start NVIDIA PRIME Power Saving Mode" | 14:52 |
| ROPA | jrib all the programs I tried so far will only play at a setting that is limited by the master volume setting. | 14:52 |
| k1l | djangonoob: dmesg | 14:52 |
| jrib | ROPA: so as I suggested before, either make the app raise master volume, play, restore master volume or have the app raise its application volume past 100% | 14:52 |
| k1l | eoij: so its a video card issue with hybrid graphic | 14:52 |
| jrib | ROPA: to expand on the second option, with pulseaudio you can set volume past 100%. See pavucontrol for example | 14:53 |
| ObrienDave | ROPA, how's this.... turn down the volume on ALL other apps except for Xchat | 14:53 |
| dramon | could someone help me figure it out what happen in my firefox that dont play youtube videos | 14:53 |
| davor | I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 x64 to a Lenovo G710. I can get to the bootloader, but upon selecting Install or Try without installing, I get a black screen (no backlight either, black as if the computer is off). I have tried setting SATA mode to compatible and switching from EFI to legacy, all to no avail. | 14:53 |
| zteam | Hi guys! | 14:53 |
| === onder`_ is now known as onder` | ||
| zteam | is there any easy way to convert a a KDE-icon theme to Gnome? | 14:54 |
| jrib | ROPA: I assume one can manipulate the application volume with something like pactl or pacmd. Or that those settings can be saved and restored. Or that they can be configured statically somewhere. I don't know the details; I'm just suggesting a path for you to take | 14:54 |
| davor | If I just leave it to boot off the DVD on its own, it gets to the violet screen with the little man and keyboard drawing on the bottom, and then said black screen follows | 14:54 |
| eoij | k1l: So there is probably some package that was previously removed that caused this? | 14:54 |
| k1l | yes, possible. we still dont know what you removed. but the apt log in /var/log can tell you | 14:55 |
| jrib | ROPA: how do you make xchat notify you? Is it built-in or is it launching some external application? | 14:57 |
| ROPA | jrib xchat has it built in......OR you can specify a sound player and the file to play........ | 14:58 |
| k1l | jrib: its in the xchat settings | 14:58 |
| jrib | ROPA: so probably the easiest/kludgiest solution is to just launch a script that modifies volume, plays sound, restores volume (bonus for just modifying the app volume that's playing the sound) | 14:59 |
| eoij | interesting: apt held the nvidia-319-updates back. | 14:59 |
| ROPA | jrib ok-so I need to learn about writing scripts??? | 15:00 |
| === jack is now known as Guest76890 | ||
| ObrienDave | eoij, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:00 |
| jrib | ROPA: it's probably handy to learn how to write a basic script, yes. Do you use the command line at all? | 15:00 |
| ROPA | I'm a near beginner, and prefer the command line. | 15:01 |
| ROPA | jrib I'm a near beginner, and prefer the command line. | 15:01 |
| jrib | ROPA: a basic script is just a text file with one command per line and a special line at the very top of the form "#!/bin/bash" that has executable permissions (chmod +x script) | 15:02 |
| ROPA | none to the sound plyers have the ability to independently raise the mster volume level though. | 15:02 |
| Kartagis | Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) <--- with this audio device, all I get is a constant buzz in skype. this started happening with 13.10 update. any ideas? | 15:02 |
| jrib | ROPA: you can change the volume with pactl or pacmd | 15:02 |
| jrib | ROPA: google something like "pulseaudio volume command" or "pulseaudio pacmd pactl volume raise" etc. I don't know the command offhand | 15:03 |
| === vmuser is now known as vmusr | ||
| ROPA | jrib ok, so script wring and pacmd and pactl are the topics I NEED TO LEARN ABOUT??!! I can do that, thanks for the nudge in the right direction !! | 15:04 |
| ROPA | wring = writing. | 15:04 |
| jrib | ROPA: yes. Start by write some basic script that says "hello". Then, try to figure out the commands that control volume. Then combine your knowledge... | 15:05 |
| ROPA | jrib ok, that sounds like a plan-any idea how to sense the initial master volume level and then return it to that level after the alert sound is played??? | 15:06 |
| jrib | ROPA: not offhand | 15:07 |
| jrib | ROPA: make that the last thing you worry about | 15:07 |
| ROPA | jrib ok, I'll hit the books again....Ive never written a script before, unless a .bat file in windows counts::> | 15:08 |
| ROPA | jrib I thank you, you were incredibly helpful. | 15:08 |

| === nb_ is now known as Guest89212 | ||
| dramon | cause is still putting the bookmarks | 15:20 |
| ObrienDave | dramon, use purge to completely remove | 15:20 |
| xangua | dramon: the configuration is in your home ~/.firefox | 15:20 |
| dramon | ObrienDave, i did but still remember the config | 15:21 |
| xangua | Or it was ~/.mozilla | 15:21 |
| jrib | dramon: you probably just want to create a new profile (firefox -ProfileManager) or rename ~/.mozilla | 15:21 |
| dramon | well...the problem is this...for some reason firefox stop running java | 15:21 |
| dennis_ | dramon: did you update to firefox 26? | 15:23 |
| dramon | dennis_, no | 15:23 |
| dramon | dennis_, i just installed ubuntu 13.10 | 15:24 |
| tacorwin | dramon: try reinstalling Java, and/or Firefox. | 15:25 |

| dramon | tacorwin, i did...although now i would like to use something stronger that apt-get purge | 15:25 |
| foxx | hello all. does anyone know why a loop mount does not lock the file being mounted? i.e. `mount -o loop /root/somefile.img /mnt/somepath` does not seem to lock `/root/somefile.img`, so im able to delete the file yet the mount remains there (albeit with a deleted warning inside `mount`). any ideas on why this is not done by default, and whether it can be locked? | 15:26 |
| jrib | foxx: does "lock" have a special meaning or are you just using it to mean "prevent from being deleted" | 15:28 |
| foxx | jrib: sorry, i should have been more specific. in this instance, its to prevent write/delete. | 15:28 |
| jrib | foxx: have you ever seen that behavior? I haven't | 15:28 |
| foxx | jrib: actually, thats a good point. i dont think i have. | 15:29 |
| foxx | well, ive seen write lock, but not delete lock | 15:29 |
| jrib | foxx: why do you want that behavior? | 15:29 |
| tacorwin | Just do "apt-get remove firefox firefox* java* && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install firefox icedtea | 15:30 |
| dramon | xangua, when we purge firefox it also remove the configuration right? | 15:30 |
| xangua | dramon: no, the configuration is in your home | 15:30 |
| foxx | jrib: mostly to prevent accidental user fuckups. i wonder if setting sticky bit would do the trick | 15:30 |
| tacorwin | Whoops. Didn't finish that! dramon ^^ | 15:31 |
| dramon | tacorwin, ok | 15:31 |
| jrib | foxx: depending on the scenario, permissions or chattr +i might be sufficient | 15:31 |

| dramon | tacorwin, they working good in chrome so i dont know what happened with firefox | 15:43 |

| Dudytz | hi all .. what is a "non-interative" session? | 15:46 |
| TJ- | dramon: Are you aware that Firefox 26 blocks Java plug-ins by default? | 15:46 |
| TJ- | dramon: See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/26.0/releasenotes/ | 15:48 |
| dramon | TJ-, didnt know that although i just installed ubuntu 13.10 on my new system :-P | 15:48 |
| tacorwin | dramon, TJ-, I wasn't aware of that either. | 15:49 |
| TJ- | dramon: I just came back in, but I got the drift that your problem was Firefox not executing Java applets, but Chrome will... that would be one explanation | 15:49 |
| Dudytz | is a gnome session a "non interative" session? | 15:49 |
| dennis_ | if you selected to download updates during ubuntu setup you will have the Firefox 26 | 15:49 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| dramon | TJ-, thats right but ...what we have to do then? | 15:50 |
| TJ- | dramon: In Firefox's Tools > Addons > Plugins, you may see that the Java plugin is set to "Ask to Activate" | 15:50 |
| dramon | TJ-, doesnt even show though | 15:51 |
| TJ- | dramon: OK... once you've re-installed the icedtea-plugin packages and restarted Firefox, the Java plugin should show up | 15:52 |

| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| owljoel | hi | 15:59 |
| dalit | HTML5lover : no | 16:00 |
| Rory | HTML5lover: Why don't you ask ##linux | 16:00 |
| dalit | Is it possible to remove dash and have xfce in ubuntu? | 16:00 |
| TJ- | Steve^: "mail -u $USER" where $USER is your logged-in username *or* another local system user that you have sufficient permissions to access their /home/$USER/ directory | 16:00 |
| owljoel | anyone knows where to ask about c programming? | 16:00 |
| TJ- | dalit: The 'dash' is part of Unity so if you use XFCE the 'dash' won't be used | 16:01 |
| MarkDavies | how can I learn what the ip of my computer is? | 16:01 |
| MarkDavies | by the use of a command line, I mean | 16:01 |
| daftykins | MarkDavies: ifconfig in a terminal if you want to do it command line | 16:01 |
| Steve^ | TJ-, ah ok, in my case that doesn't match up, so I probably need to specify the file location of the mailbox? | 16:01 |
| dalit | TJ- can i have xfce without installing xubuntu | 16:01 |
| MarkDavies | daftykins: but it gives me 192.168.1.10 | 16:01 |
| dalit | i know dash is default | 16:01 |
| TJ- | owljoel: Probably the "##c" channel, although we have experts in here too for Ubuntu-related questions | 16:02 |
| dalit | so i m ready to remove Unity | 16:02 |
| dramon | TJ-, i have icedtea-web plugin "always active" | 16:02 |
| daftykins | MarkDavies: do you mean you want your internet-facing IP? | 16:02 |
| owljoel | ok, thanks | 16:02 |
| TJ- | dalit: Yes, using "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 16:03 |
| MarkDavies | daftykins: exactly | 16:03 |
| dalit | TJ- then will it work normally? | 16:03 |
| === emil is now known as Guest56287 | ||
| daftykins | MarkDavies: well that's only possible if it were an interface on your local machine. you could wget whatismyip.com or use a text-based browser like lynx to visit whatismyip.com | 16:03 |
| ObrienDave | dalit, LOL it will work | 16:03 |
| TJ- | MarkDavies: From the command line: "wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain ; echo" | 16:03 |
| dalit | TJ- ObrienDave : i mean i have limited hardware | 16:04 |
| dalit | TJ- ObrienDave : no graphic card lesser RAM | 16:04 |
| dramon | anyway i just check and i am using firefox 25 | 16:04 |
| MarkDavies | TJ-: it doesn't work | 16:04 |
| TJ- | dalit: Once xubuntu-desktop is installed you'll be able to select an XFCE session from the log-in screen, by pressing the Gear icon next to the username | 16:04 |
| TJ- | MarkDavies: What result do you get? | 16:05 |
| MarkDavies | oh, ok, there is O instead of 0 | 16:05 |
| ObrienDave | dalit, I run Xubuntu on laptop. integrated graphics. no card. works just fine | 16:05 |
| dalit | TJ- i want to make that xfce the default choice. possible? | 16:05 |
| jj1234 | is Network Manager no longer a service in 13.10? I can't seem to be able to restart it | 16:06 |
| dalit | ObrienDave : ya but i want ubuntu without Unity | 16:06 |
| TJ- | dalit: Someone else needs to confirm this, but I believe once you've installed xubuntu-desktop you could remove ubuntu-desktop... possibly need a little more work though. Not had to do it myself in a long time | 16:06 |
| dalit | Unity is cumbersome | 16:06 |
| TJ- | jj1234: How are you trying to start it? | 16:07 |
| gvo | dalit that's being polite | 16:07 |
| ObrienDave | dalit, the core is the same, just a different desktop manager | 16:07 |
| jj1234 | well I was just trying to restart it | 16:08 |
| jj1234 | it's an upstart job, right? | 16:08 |
| dalit | gvo : LOL | 16:08 |
| TJ- | jj1234: Yes, "sudo service network-manager restart" | 16:08 |
| ObrienDave | dalit, if you remove Unity and install XFCE, you are running Xubuntu. no difference | 16:08 |
| jj1234 | whoa, ok so that works | 16:08 |
| jj1234 | so it doesn't work if I run it as the root user | 16:09 |
| dramon | ok there is a option in help firefox menu where you can restart firefox with all add-on dissabled and re-install firefox as originally comes so i got to get it fixed...thanks guys | 16:09 |
| dalit | ObrienDave : then its fine | 16:09 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 16:09 |
| jj1234 | i'm not sure I understand that | 16:09 |
| dalit | ObrienDave : i will do it that way | 16:09 |
| FiremanEd | dalit: you could opt by just installing sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 16:09 |
| TJ- | jj1234: Yes, "sudo" provides root privileges. | 16:09 |
| dalit | FiremanEd : then i will get rid of Unity? | 16:10 |
| jj1234 | right, but how come when I run it as the root user, it says 'unknown job: network-manager' | 16:10 |
| TJ- | jj1234: Depends how you switch to 'root'. The login environment may not be fully set-up. You should use "sudo -i" | 16:10 |
| jj1234 | yep, wasn't using 'su -' | 16:11 |
| jj1234 | just doing 'su' | 16:11 |
| TJ- | jj1234: aha | 16:11 |
| FiremanEd | dalit: no, removing unity is not recommended, but you can go all the way and do a Ubuntu minimal install. You install only the packages you want and in your case you would add xfce4 to the list of packages to install (not Gnome or Unity). That way you will get no packages from Xubuntu, except the ones you have selected. | 16:11 |
| jj1234 | fantastic, thanks | 16:11 |

| OerHeks | !nounity | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 16:12 |
| dalit | FiremanEd : ya somebody even suggested me "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 16:13 |
| FiremanEd | dalit: If I recall xubuntu-desktop has a dropdown at login to use xfce | 16:13 |
| ObrienDave | dalit, that will get you a more "complete" DE | 16:14 |
| ObrienDave | FiremanEd, yes, xfce and xubuntu dropdown | 16:14 |

| isidore | I develop an IM software, server program runs in linux, and Client program runs in windows | 16:17 |
| isidore | linux can receive Net Packet from windows, but windwos can't receive Net Packet from linux | 16:18 |
| isidore | who can tell me why? | 16:18 |
| TJ- | isidore: Without seeing your application source-code and test-rig, no-one. What steps have you taken so far to diagnose the issue? | 16:19 |
| isidore | the server source code and client source run windows, and there is no problem | 16:20 |
| isidore | @<TJ-> how can I show you my application and source code to ? | 16:21 |
| TJ- | isidore: Sounds as if you need to check the network connectivity, routing, and firewalls | 16:21 |
| moi | hi | 16:23 |
| moi | salut | 16:24 |
| moi | ok | 16:24 |
| isidore | there is another phenemenon about linux can't ping windows success, howerver windows can ping linux success | 16:25 |
| moi | fine | 16:25 |
| isidore | <TJ-> but there are so many IM software in the business market, they could't make every client user to think their e network connectivity, routing, and firewalls | 16:27 |

| litropy | _nix_, thanks. where can I find my drive in bash, anyway? /media only has floppies; when I try sda2 (which is my mounted, damaged drive), it tells me it's not a directory. 'b' is next to sda2's listing. | 16:42 |

| lotuspsychje | demophobia: you should always be prudent for forms of malware | 16:44 |
| demophobia | ObrienDave, ? | 16:44 |
| _nix_ | arunkumar413, not sure then heh. I do this stuff with mysql workbench but that's for mysql alone I think | 16:45 |

| foxx | lotuspsychje: anything can happen when your browsing. | 16:46 |
| glitsj16 | arunkumar413: have you tried sqliteman yet? should be in the ubuntu repos | 16:46 |
| lotuspsychje | foxx: true | 16:46 |
| foxx | lotuspsychje: there is no 100% way to prevent all attacks, the best you can do is layer multiple defences | 16:46 |
| lotuspsychje | foxx: agree on that | 16:47 |
| _nix_ | Browsing with javascript and plugins disabled helps | 16:47 |
| foxx | but a great start would be to disable flash, java, javascript (unless pre-auth'd), anti virus where possible, lowered user permissions.. etc | 16:47 |

| rah | it has a GNOME 2 desktop | 16:49 |
| rah | I want to upgrade it | 16:49 |
| _nix_ | rah, awesome | 16:49 |
| foxx | lotuspsychje: if you want to do crazy, then throw in a passive DPI such as snort, or sourcefire. run your workspace inside a virtual machine with snapshots that revert on every run. check for root kits from a clean OS with your virtual machine bind mounted in | 16:49 |
| arunkumar413 | TJ-: I'm unable to define a foreign key | 16:49 |
| rah | but if their desktop changes, they'll shout at me | 16:49 |
| === rafase282 is now known as Rafase282 | ||
| shreezbot_ | So does anyone know of a way to have all files created in a directory created with certain permissions bits? For example, I want all files created in /media/data1/ to have permissions bits of 766 regardless of the user who created the files.... | 16:49 |
| foxx | lotuspsychje: the question is, what are you trying to protect, and how far do you want to go to protect it | 16:49 |
| rah | so, can I upgrade to a recent release of Ubuntu and retain the GNOME 2 desktop? | 16:49 |
| foxx | lotuspsychje: because honestly, this can escalate all the way to sitting inside your own home built faraday cage. im not joking :) | 16:49 |
| gordonjcp | rah: it's no longer developed | 16:49 |
| _nix_ | rah, there's a MATE desktop | 16:49 |
| litropy | _nix_, nevermind, I was ssh'ed into another box, thinking it was my computer. | 16:50 |
| lotuspsychje | foxx: i know this, demophobia started the question | 16:50 |
| OerHeks | rah no, gnome2 is dead | 16:50 |
| foxx | ahh | 16:50 |
| TJ- | arunkumar413: Show us the syntax you're using, and tell us the sqlite version | 16:50 |
| _nix_ | litropy, lol | 16:50 |
| foxx | my bad, misread your message! | 16:50 |
| lotuspsychje | no sweat :p | 16:50 |
| foxx | demophobia: be afraid! | 16:50 |
| _nix_ | shreezbot_, you can try that with a umask I guess | 16:50 |
| arunkumar413 | TJ-: actually , i'm doing the GUI way | 16:50 |
| foxx | total paranoia is total awareness. but additional security is usually a pita. | 16:51 |
| rah | _nix_: will the MATE desktop retain the panel layout, etc., of a user's GNOME 2 desktop? | 16:51 |
| gordonjcp | rah: maybe, maybe not | 16:51 |
| lotuspsychje | bbl guys | 16:51 |
| gordonjcp | MATE is the hacked-about reanimated corpse of Gnome 2 | 16:51 |
| _nix_ | rah, MATE desktop kinda looks like gnome2 but there's some difference somewhere. I haven't really used it, KDE fellow here heh | 16:51 |
| _nix_ | Yes, what gordonjcp said | 16:51 |
| gordonjcp | rah: just use Unity like a normal person | 16:51 |
| shreezbot_ | _nix_, I'll try to google that... Thanks! :) | 16:52 |
| OnkelTem | Hi all. Can anybody clarify what is the key difference between Xubuntu and Lubuntu? If both are minimal, then why two? | 16:52 |
| demophobia | What calendar program should I use? Can I export my iCal calendars into it? | 16:52 |
| rah | gordonjcp: the issue isn't what I want to use | 16:52 |
| rah | gordonjcp: the issue is what will prevent my parents from shouting at me | 16:52 |
| rah | gordonjcp: Unity will make my parents shout at me | 16:52 |
| gordonjcp | rah: no, it won't | 16:52 |
| rah | gordonjcp: eh? | 16:52 |
| gordonjcp | rah: it took my mum all of about ten seconds to figure it out | 16:52 |
| ObrienDave | rah, only until they get used to it ;P | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | it's much quicker than Gnome 2 used to be | 16:53 |
| rah | gordonjcp: that doesn't contradict what I said | 16:53 |
| _nix_ | shreezbot_, but umask would apply to your login shell. As in, do "umask 0111" in bash and then any file you create would have 0666 perms | 16:53 |
| TJ- | arunkumar413: I'd recommend checking you can do it from the sqlite shell first. If that works, it narrows the issue down to the GUI you use | 16:54 |
| rah | is MATE the only fork in Ubuntu? | 16:54 |
| arunkumar413 | glitsj16: now I've tried the sqliteman, but there is no option to define a foreign key | 16:54 |
| rah | is Cinamon in Ubuntu? | 16:54 |
| rah | (sp?) | 16:55 |
| shreezbot_ | _nix_, Oh, that might not work for me then. There is an application running as another user that is creating the files... :( | 16:55 |
| rah | Cinnamon | 16:55 |
| phillyj | will i get some error if I install both IDE and SATA optical drives in my machine? | 16:56 |
| === paddy_ is now known as paddy | ||
| shreezbot_ | _nix_, I have another task, running as another user, that needs to be able to have full rw access to the files, but it can't because it doesn't have permission... :( | 16:56 |
| _nix_ | rah, there's Cinnamon in Ubuntu. I'd suggest trying out mint. | 16:56 |
| _nix_ | shreezbot_: oh, hmm. | 16:57 |
| rah | _nix_: why mint? | 16:57 |
| litropy | _nix_, so I'm now ready to (attempt to) copy my user directory from my damaged HD to my external HD, where I'm running Ubuntu. I'm using root. Will that set the owner of all files and directories to root, or will they be unaffected? Eventually, I'd like to chown it all to my Ubuntu user. | 16:57 |
| rah | hmm | 16:58 |
| rah | scratch that | 16:58 |
| _nix_ | rah, mint because Cinnamon is their child and they have the best implementation | 16:58 |
| glitsj16 | arunkumar413: i'm with TJ-: even when you use a sqlite GUI you will have to enter properly syntaxed and correct sql commands, a GUI isn't pure magic | 16:58 |
| rah | I read "mint" as "MATE" | 16:58 |
| === simplicity is now known as Guest20709 | ||
| _nix_ | litropy, depends on how you're copying. If you do it with cp -a it'll preserve ownership and permissions. You can always do a recursive chown anyway though | 16:59 |
| _nix_ | shreezbot_, is this process creating files as well? | 16:59 |
| litropy | _nix_, thx | 16:59 |
| _nix_ | litropy, I | 17:00 |
| TJ- | arunkumar413: I've ust used sqliteman to create 3 tables, the third having two foreign key definitions to the other tables | 17:01 |
| _nix_ | litropy, I'd suggest using something like scalpel if it's a damaged HD | 17:01 |
| shreezbot_ | _nix_, Well, there is the process creating the files running as one user, and then another process that needs to be able to move the files running as another user... | 17:01 |
| _nix_ | shreezbot_, how about putting both users in the same group and applying group read/write umask on them? | 17:02 |
| arunkumar413 | TJ-: then when adding the record how do we select the foreign key | 17:02 |
| rah | thanks | 17:02 |
| _nix_ | litropy, oh check this out http://foremost.sourceforge.net/ :) | 17:02 |
| litropy | _nix_ too late for that, already started cp. Will check it out while I wait, though. | 17:03 |
| shreezbot_ | _nix_, That sounds like exactly what I'd like to do... | 17:03 |

| shreezbot_ | _nix_, Actually, if both users are members of the same group, so I even need to set a umask? | 17:06 |
| _nix_ | shreezbot_, I -think- the default umask is 0022 which translates to u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx in Ubuntu. Can't verify it right now though. | 17:07 |
| kalon33 | Hello everybody, someone else experiencing 404 errors downloading updates using archive.ubuntu.com? | 17:07 |
| user82 | is there still a way to dynamically hide the side-bar in Ubuntu 13.10. Like when you have a full screen app running? | 17:08 |
| _nix_ | shreezbot_, ohh how are you launching the other process? You can also make a shell script to call umask 0111 before launching the process, that'll work too. | 17:08 |

| cristian_c | I've tried the mdetect command | 17:10 |
| _nix_ | shreezbot_, oh cool. You can edit the init script to achieve this | 17:10 |
| cristian_c | and the terminal has returned intellimouse | 17:10 |
| cristian_c | then, I've set intellimouse protocol with the inputattach command | 17:11 |

| n1n0 | hi. trying to share files between ubuntu 12.04 and 13.10. got ssh server and openssh, and when trying to browse the files from ubuntu 12 machine to ub.13, it works via Files-Connect to the server where I can choose between ftp, ssh... and manually enter IP, yet from 13 I cannot access 12, and the "Connect to server" window doesn't offer to choose between ssh,ftp...connection | 18:07 |
| veke | hello there, Is there a reason why a dameon won't start on my ubuntu 13.10 with error "Cannot assign requested address" ? i tried changing the port and looking at netstat if the port was busy but it's not | 18:12 |
| jhutchins | veke: Yes. | 18:13 |
| bekks | veke: Which daemon then? | 18:13 |
| gvo | permissions? | 18:14 |
| jhutchins | n1n0: There's an sshfs that's been intermittently available under fuse, but generally an ssh connection isn't browsable. | 18:14 |
| jhutchins | n1n0: cifs/samba is probably the easiest way to make it browsable. | 18:14 |
| bekks | gvo: Unavailability of the address configured most likely. | 18:14 |
| Pavelcz | Can Ubuntu 13.10 be upgraded to next version when it comes out ? | 18:15 |
| bekks | Pavelcz: Yes. | 18:15 |
| jhutchins | Pavelcz: Yes. | 18:15 |
| Pavelcz | Thanks. Already running on it ;) | 18:15 |
| n1n0 | jhutchins samba was ok to connect to xp station, yet didn't recognize another ubuntu | 18:16 |
| n1n0 | is there a way to downgrade 13 to 12 distro? | 18:16 |
| bekks | n1n0: No. You have to reinstall. | 18:17 |
| HiItsNick | can some1 tell me what exactly ubuntu tv is | 18:17 |
| veke | bekks, it's an uncommon daemon | 18:21 |
| veke | jhutchins, which ? | 18:21 |
| DJones | HiItsNick: This is probably the best place to look that up, http://www.ubuntu.com/tv/ Still something in development though | 18:22 |
| HiItsNick | i checked it but stil i cant understand what ubuntu tv is | 18:23 |
| HiItsNick | an app or a tv? | 18:23 |
| HiItsNick | dumb question. | 18:23 |
| jimgroth | hi | 18:24 |
| gordonjcp | HiItsNick: it's a suite of applications, based around Ubuntu and the Unity desktop and intended for use as "smart TV" firmware | 18:24 |
| jimgroth | How would one go about resuming a disconnected SSH session? | 18:24 |
| gordonjcp | HiItsNick: think along the lines of XBMC | 18:24 |

| jimgroth | when connect again (using putty) it starts a new session. | 18:25 |
| gordonjcp | jimgroth: if you want stuff to stay working while you're disconnected, look into using screen or tmux | 18:25 |

| lonewulf85 | demophobia, You can try searching the Ubuntu software center, as for a default built in one the clock is the only one that I know of. | 18:33 |
| demophobia | Thank you. zx, what do you mean "comand order"? | 18:34 |
| zx | i just have a guess | 18:34 |
| lonewulf85 | zx, the driver that I need is an ati/radeon driver. | 18:35 |

| Beldar | windows is there no ubuntu or at least unallocated if it was | 18:53 |
| sam_ | so you mean I have installed windows on ubuntu's sda | 18:53 |
| sam_ | its unallocated I havn't mount it | 18:54 |
| Beldar | sam_, Only you would know that I see what is there now. | 18:54 |
| ObrienDave | sam_, sda is the first hard drive | 18:54 |
| ObrienDave | sda1 is first partition on first hard drive | 18:54 |
| Beldar | sam_, The extended is 285 gigs was ubuntu in there as a logical partition? | 18:55 |

| douglarret | how can I mount my osx partition in r/w mode from 13.10? | 18:57 |

| jhutchins | douglarret: What filesystem is it? | 18:57 |
| sam_ | can you please give me the command I should use? I bit newbie | 18:58 |
| sam_ | oh now I got what you mean | 18:58 |
| Beldar | sam_, gparted is a gui partitioner. | 18:58 |
| sam_ | its unallocated. how can I allocate it? | 18:59 |
| Beldar | sam_, Not sure there is a fix, you have any backups? | 19:00 |
| sam_ | nope no backup but last time this command worked (now it doesn't) http://pastebin.com/qM1GSUYe | 19:02 |
| Beldar | sam_, sda6 seems to have been in the extended, it is the unallocated as of now right? | 19:05 |
| sam_ | oh by the way the ubuntuu that was installed on my system was 13.10 but my live usb is 12.04 . that shouldn't cause a problem right? | 19:05 |
| Beldar | sam_, not in general no. | 19:06 |
| sam_ | now sda4 is unallocated (extended file system) not sda6 , sda6 exist no more (I don't know why) | 19:06 |

| sam_ | I'm sorry I think my last sentence was unclear. sda6 doesn't exist anymore or at least I cannot mount it | 19:08 |
| sam_ | sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/mount: special device /dev/sda6 does not exist | 19:08 |

Maybe something is wrong with my LG player now, but I can't get them to work on another DVD player that seems to play most formats. Is this format video_ts unique to LG which would mean I have to buy another player to watch these DVD's | 19:15 |
| Beldar | sam_, So sda4 is okay, the extended, it is the sda6 that is missing that is the unallocated and was a logical partition, the sda5 is unknown as well. Did you ever resolve the flexnet error in the mbr, from your link? | 19:15 |

| phillyj | can someone help me get this SATA optical drive working? Could it be conflicting with the IDE optical drives I got on it? | 19:35 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: I know, but I get both errors. May some file is locked up or something has happened. | 19:35 |

| ClientAlive | TJ-: Oh, am I supposed to be doing perms with user1:user2 rather than user:group? | 19:36 |
| daftykins | mojtaba: can you provide more info on the browser issue with an example in pictures or something? | 19:36 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: you could try starting the apps you want to have old-skool menus in the app by prepending their start command with 'UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0' | 19:36 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: No, $USER:$GROUP is correct. On my system I have the group "users" which I add each real user to | 19:37 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: I can initiate the browser from cmd and pastebin the warning here, if that works | 19:37 |
| TJ- | sam_: That recovery manager *usually* rewrites blindly assuming the disk has nothing valuable on it | 19:37 |

| sam_ | so is there any solution to that TJ? can I change my erecovery manager?? I'm tired of loosing all my data everytime I install windows . it also deletes my ubuntu partition | 19:39 |

| daftykins | mojtaba: would you have done anything to change them? try renaming your chrome config folder to see if a fresh one works | 19:40 |

| Sarah1 | hi | 19:40 |
| intrader | WhatIsTheMatrix, how do I try it? | 19:40 |
| mojtaba | daftykins: I did not do anything. I just run this command before: touch /forcefsck | 19:40 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | intrader: very carefully ;-) | 19:40 |
| sam_ | you mean from Disk? | 19:40 |
| TJ- | sam_: Always keep your important data backed up on an external device of some type | 19:40 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: you can just try from a terminal first if it gives you what you want, ie UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 tomboy .. if tomboy is the command, we can deal with changing things generally later on if it works | 19:40 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | intrader: you'd have to download the installer | 19:41 |
| ClientAlive | TJ-: Ahh! So, for a dir at /home/me/dirtoshare I would have to chown -R me:groupname /home/shine (or even * /home)? <-- which would not be good if that's the case. | 19:41 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | intrader: how long have you been using gnu/linux? | 19:41 |

| Kihokki | Hi! What catalyst version fglrx-installer-experimental has? Is it 13.9? | 19:42 |

| sam_ | no backups | 19:52 |
| glitsj16 | intrader: that command should disable the global menu for all tomboy windows | 19:52 |

| Beldar | sam_, If that windows license is important to you I would get all of it backed up, before doing any recovery attempts. | 19:53 |

| glitsj16 | intrader: just for reference on the global menu issue, look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/how-do-i-disable-the-global-application-menu later, i'd suggest testing your regular apps and the ubuntu in general to see if python is okay first | 20:05 |

| hitsujiTMO | intrader: if your /home is not on a separate partition. i'd boot a live cd and nuke everything other that /home ... then install to the same partition without formatting | 20:13 |
| nolrai_26 | So I added a .pam_environment to add a path to my $PATH and now when ever I try to log in it boots me back out to the log in screen. Anyway I can get rid of that file with out logging in? | 20:13 |
| nolrai_26 | (or log in) | 20:13 |
| Guest98811 | cheesecakes, brb got to restart for the change | 20:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | jj1234: debootstrap is prob what you're looking for | 20:14 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, /home is not in a separate partition | 20:14 |
| jj1234 | can I setup network interfaces as well? | 20:14 |
| jj1234 | my big picture goal is to create a network of several hosts and test software with traffic shaping 'tc' | 20:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | intrader: then boot a live cd. nuke everything other than /home and reinstall to the same partition but choose not to format | 20:15 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | nolrai_26: you could boot up to live/rescue cd/usb and mount/access the hard drive from that | 20:15 |
| jj1234 | but I'd like to keep my resource utilization as low as possible...i.e. avoid VMs if I can | 20:15 |
| geirha | nolrai_26: reboot, hold down shift, select the recovery line from the menu that appears, choose root-shell, then fix it from there | 20:15 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, I have /home saved by the backup application | 20:15 |
| nolrai_26 | Thanks! | 20:15 |
| TJ- | jj1234: You need to use Linux cgroups, aka containers aka LXC | 20:15 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | nolrai_26: perhaps what geirha said will work | 20:16 |
| geirha | nolrai_26: *hold down shift during the early boot sequnce, until a menu appears | 20:16 |

| irvingd_ | WhatIsTheMatrix, sudo apt-get remove oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms - problem solved :) | 20:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | intrader: it lists the packages that will also be removed. So you should see a wall of text with 99% of the packages installed on your system | 20:21 |
| TJ- | jj1234: This might get you jump-started: http://containerops.org/2013/11/19/lxc-networking/ | 20:21 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, why not use C++ or C instead of python? | 20:22 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, perhaps that is the reason ubuntu is slow vs. suse | 20:23 |
| omega14 | I need the default apache2.config file | 20:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | intrader: because these are simple, user editable scripts that gain minimal speed when switching to c. | 20:24 |
| vik | should i reinstall all software after upgrading to new ubuntu | 20:24 |
| TJ- | omega14: Depending on version, you should find it at "/usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/examples/apache2/" or very similar | 20:25 |
| phillyj | vik: why? | 20:25 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, make sense - it is an easier language to learn and use. | 20:25 |
| phillyj | vik: isn't it a fresh install? | 20:25 |
| vik | i am going to upgrade to 13.10 . should i install apps like chrome and others after upgrade | 20:26 |
| vik | i am using 13.04 now | 20:26 |
| intrader | vik, careful, I tried 13.10 with disastrous consequences - very unstable | 20:26 |
| phillyj | vik: if it's not part of the distro, then you will have to install it | 20:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | intrader: and ubuntu is certainly not slow in comparison to suse. the slowness you're prob talking about is just the unity DE. Switching to a DE thot doesn't use soo many resources like whats used in suse would show a huge difference in speed | 20:27 |
| vik | then is it good to be with 13.04 | 20:27 |

| vik | what does EOL means ? | 20:28 |
| vik | i am new to ubuntu | 20:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | !eol > vik | 20:28 |
| ubottu | vik, please see my private message | 20:28 |
| phillyj | vik, end of life | 20:28 |
| Bashing-om | vik; Are you contemplating a clean install from liveMedium, or on-line upgrade to 13.10 ? | 20:28 |
| vik | online upgrading | 20:28 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, that makes sense - I did not like the change to unity - too many slow downs and laptop overheating problems | 20:29 |
| phillyj | my ssh connectivity is sporadic and right now, my characters don't show up on the ssh login terminal screen | 20:29 |
| phillyj | any ideas? | 20:29 |
| vik | k can any one tell should i upgrade to 13.10 | 20:30 |
| Bashing-om | vik: I have done 2 on-line upgrades to 13.10, no problem ! .. 13.10 is faster than 13.04. | 20:30 |
| vik | would i keep my apps ? | 20:31 |
| vik | would it keep my apps ? | 20:31 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | vik: i don't see why not. you'll find out though | 20:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | vik: you'll need to reinstall non repo apps most likely | 20:31 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | vik: what hitsujiTMO said | 20:31 |
| Bashing-om | vik: here's the deal, diable your 3rd pary PPAs, and any screensaver, do the upgrade and then re-enable the PPAs, and again update the system. | 20:32 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | vik: otherwise, what you'll get is newer versions of your apps, unless as hitsujiTMO said, they are non-repo apps | 20:32 |
| vik | i am a mozilla developer . i had setup mozilla build . should i build again | 20:32 |
| Calinou | third party repos are automatically disabled before an upgrade, normally | 20:32 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | vik: yes, after upgrading i would think... in order to link it to the newer libc6 and other libs | 20:33 |
| === ib is now known as Guest28619 | ||
| vik | is there any solution | 20:34 |
| Bashing-om | vik: There is always the rsik of something going wrone, In all my on-line upgrades, all my files and configs have been kept - no problem, just disable the 3rd party PPAs prior to upgrading. | 20:34 |
| intrader | All: most interesting conversation. It applies to my problem. | 20:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | vik: if you are using the system for dev you should stick to the LTS versions, unless you absolutely need a feature in a non-lts version | 20:35 |
| ceed^ | Hi, how can I enable to grub menu when I boot so I can choose which kernel to boot? Now it just boots the newest kernel, but I want to be able to choose. I'm running 13.10 x64 | 20:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | ceed^: there should be a list of available kernels in advanced menu | 20:36 |
| Bashing-om | ceed: from a cold boot, as soon as the bios screen clears, depress and hold the shift key -> grub boot menu (non UEFI !). | 20:37 |
| vik | k how to disable PPA | 20:37 |
| ceed^ | hitsujiTMO, but I am not getting a menu at all, it just boots directly using the newest kernel. | 20:37 |
| === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away | ||
| phillyj | you got to be kidding me, ssh won't work if a vga cable is plugged into the port?? | 20:38 |
| vik | Bashing-om : so ur telling me to use 12.04 | 20:38 |
| phillyj | i hate linux sometimes | 20:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | ceed^: as Bashing-om you need to hit either left-shift - right-shift or esc immediately after bios screen | 20:38 |
| Calinou | phillyj, you shouldn't | 20:38 |
| Bashing-om | vik: Easiest way to disable is from the U Software Center -> Other Software, uncheck the boxes. | 20:39 |
| Calinou | why wouldn't ssh not work because of that? | 20:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | phillyj: thats most definately not the case | 20:39 |
| ceed^ | hitsujiTMO, I will try that, but I would prefer to have it so that I get the menu every time. I know there's a setting in grub's config for that but I can't remember what it is. | 20:39 |
| phillyj | Calinou: i have no idea, some kind of input redirect i think | 20:39 |
| Cdunn700 | hello can anyone help me please? | 20:39 |
| Calinou | you're probably doing something wrong | 20:39 |
| Calinou | I can ssh to a machine using VGA or DVI screen just fine | 20:39 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | !ask | Cdunn700 | 20:39 |
| ubottu | Cdunn700: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 20:39 |
| phillyj | Calinou: it was just the cable, not connected to the monitor | 20:40 |
| Cdunn700 | oh ok im just wondering i have built a new computer and i have a gtx 760 graphics card will i have issues with it in ubuntu | 20:40 |
| Cdunn700 | ? | 20:40 |
| Cdunn700 | or isit easy to get properietry drivers for it | 20:40 |
| Cdunn700 | thanks | 20:40 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, from live CD, where do I see the directories? | 20:40 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, I connected the network cable and this window is not updating | 20:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | ceed^: you need to change the relevant option in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub | 20:40 |
| phillyj | Cdunn700: i think you're supposed to use the nvidia drivers for best results | 20:40 |
| ceed^ | hitsujiTMO, thanks, I will try that. | 20:41 |
| Cdunn700 | how would i install them on ubuntu gnome | 20:41 |
| Cdunn700 | just download the linux driver from the website | 20:41 |
| Bashing-om | vik: Well if it is a development enterprise, I would highly value stability and Long Term Support, currently that is 12.04 // Next LTS is 14.04 due out next April ! | 20:41 |
| Cdunn700 | because last time i had a amd and had to do legacy drivers and it was a nightmare | 20:41 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, I will be reinstalling as described. | 20:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | Cdunn700: copy it to ~/.themes | 20:42 |
| Cdunn700 | ? | 20:42 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | lol | 20:42 |
| sam_ | ok I used testdisk software now I have all my ubuntu driver shown in home folder from live usb. however I still cannot login my ubuntu. and my gparted looks ugly (http://i.imgur.com/t1Qeea7.png) what have I done???!! | 20:42 |
| vik | Bashing-om : April 2014 ? | 20:43 |
| phillyj | Cdunn700: go to settings > additional drivers | 20:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | Cdunn700: sorry. "how would i install them on ubuntu gnome" was thinking you meant themes for a sec. you should install nvidia-319 | 20:43 |
| Cdunn700 | ok well i havnt installed it yet | 20:43 |
| Cdunn700 | the ubuntu as i was seeing | 20:44 |
| Cdunn700 | if it had alot of issues | 20:44 |
| Cdunn700 | as i like gaming | 20:44 |
| phillyj | check it out to see if its there, Cdunn700 | 20:44 |
| Cdunn700 | and linux will have more games ported in the new year | 20:44 |
| Cdunn700 | can i check it out using the live cd demo | 20:44 |
| Cdunn700 | or from installing it? | 20:45 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | Cdunn700: i don't think you can check out the nvidia-319 driver when running a live install cd/usb | 20:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | Cdunn700: for proprietary drivers its best to install | 20:45 |
| intrader | hitsujiTMO, with the python removal I also lost vimeo capability | 20:45 |
| WhatIsTheMatrix | Cdunn700: i think you'll need to actually install gnu/linux | 20:45 |
| Cdunn700 | ah okay | 20:45 |
| Cdunn700 | ill have to try it this weekend | 20:46 |
| Cdunn700 | cheers guys | 20:46 |
| Cdunn700 | see ya | 20:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | WhatIsTheMatrix: you can, but theres quite a bit of effort to get it up without having to reboot | 20:46 |
| phillyj | Cdunn700: go to your synaptic manager and install nvidia-current | 20:46 |

| Bashing-om | sam_; State your problem. | 20:50 |

| sam_ | Bashing -om I had windows 7 and ubuntu 13.10 on different partitions. had to reinstall my windows. the erecovery process erased my ubuntu partition. | 20:51 |
| sam_ | I used testdisk software to recover that partition | 20:52 |
| dougl | hitsujiTMO, do you know how to mount ext3 partition in osx? | 20:52 |
| hadifarn_ | how can I see user's last login? is there a command for that? | 20:52 |

| hitsujiTMO | sam_: erm... if thats mbr partition then thats an invalid partition table | 20:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | sam_: is this a pc or mac? | 20:59 |

| nikcsareb | hi Where can i report hardware issues ? (touchpad) | 21:00 |

| phunyguy | I want the apps to be there, but not the available/away/etc stuff | 21:06 |

| phunyguy | I do not have that in my pidgin.desktop | 21:07 |
| phunyguy | (12.04, Xubuntu) | 21:07 |
| phunyguy | ahh wait | 21:08 |
| phunyguy | missed it | 21:08 |
| Bashing-om | sam_: Exercise care ! .. Best I am aware of Windows' dynamic partitioning, Ubuntu does not deal with it (proprietary to Windows), a real challenge and a hassle to change back to GPT of msdos partitioning ! | 21:08 |
| phunyguy | wait, nope, wrong thing. | 21:08 |
| phunyguy | yeah I don't have it. | 21:08 |
| trism | phunyguy: well it's new in quantal, so on 12.04 it is different | 21:08 |
| bonsu | how to use adduser and useradd ' | 21:09 |
| phunyguy | trism: ok. and this enables.disables the availability portions of the menu? | 21:09 |
| phunyguy | because this still doesn't make any sense to me | 21:09 |
| sam_ | I see . ok bootrepair is done I'm restarting to see the result. will be back | 21:09 |
| trism | phunyguy: in 12.10+, not in 12.04 | 21:09 |
| phunyguy | the reason I ask, is because I have an icon theme that I really like, and that is the ONLY thing that doesn't work. ;) | 21:10 |
| phunyguy | and I remember previos versions of xubuntu not having that part of the menu. Just the apps listed. | 21:10 |
| trism | phunyguy: there may have been a separate package in the 12.04- version but I don't really remember | 21:11 |

| [[a] | mbroeker, I think there is no way I can close it, since it is open on my router. I googled the port to get some information about, some ppl do say it is "risky" to let it open. I couldn't find a command to close it | 21:49 |
| irc-5225225 | What's the command to find the uuid of a partition? | 21:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | EMKO: "Partition table entries are not in disk order" is the only thing I see that 'could' be part of the problem. but most stuff can handle an out of order partition table. I'd consider a clean reinstall | 21:50 |

| the8thbit | Hi, I want use the speakers in my digital piano as general use speakers for my laptop. Right now, if I plug it in via USB and run Synthesia in Wine, Synthesia is able to output audio to the speakers. However, if I go into the 'sound' menu in ubuntu, they are not listed as an output device. | 21:55 |

| nikcsareb | ok | 21:57 |
| [[a] | hitsujiTMO, the service is called "PARK AGENT" and its running on my router. | 21:57 |

| bhldev | I have a virtual machine running ubuntu server that I created a static ip for somehow by modifying /etc/network/interfaces (virtualbox) now I want it to use dhcp again and it's not been working | 21:59 |
| bhldev | so far I modify /etc/network/interfaces to add auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp lines back and comment out all the rest except loopback, but the old ip is still there instead of the dhcp ip | 21:59 |
| EMKO | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6653799/ | 22:00 |

| bhldev | NAT | 22:00 |
| === al_ is now known as Guest24623 | ||
| TJ- | EMKO: OK, that shows us that running out of space wasn't the cause of the issue. | 22:01 |
| [[a] | hitsujiTMO, thank you. Just if you missed the conversation from the begining, I said " How to close any port using ubuntu's terminal". Thx to mbroeker, who clarified my problem, now I know it is comming from router. | 22:01 |
| EMKO | TJ-: ok sorry im not much help im not that good with linux | 22:01 |
| bhldev | for example now it says 10.0.2.15 that was an old ip I want it to pull from my router's dhcp | 22:01 |
| bekks | bhldev: then network manager configures it. | 22:01 |
| bhldev | ubuntu server doesn't come with network manager does it? | 22:01 |
| bekks | bhldev: And dont use NAT then, but bridged. | 22:01 |
| bhldev | should I get it? | 22:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | bhldev: and is there a dchp running within that nat? what virtualisation software is it? | 22:02 |
| === julien is now known as Guest75608 | ||
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| bhldev | I'm using virtualbox I don't know where the 10.0.2.15 addy is coming from | 22:02 |
| bhldev | okay let me switch to bridged | 22:02 |
| bekks | bhldev: Thats the default NAT DHCP address from vbox. | 22:02 |
| [[a] | mbroeker, Thx man, it worked. Even though I dont know who activated, next time I will make sure that is closed | 22:02 |
| TJ- | EMKO: So, what I'd suggest you do is reboot it, enter the grub menu, choose an older kernel and its associated Recovery option, get to the root prompt, and rebuild all the initial ramdisks using "update-initramfs -uvk all" | 22:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | bhldev: ahh yeah, if you want it on the external network you need bridged as bekks said | 22:02 |
| bekks | bhldev: Very well documented in chapter 6 of the official vbox manual. | 22:02 |
| TJ- | EMKO: In theory that will fix the corrupted initrd image for the latest kernel... After that you can reboot normally, and hopefully it'll start correctly | 22:03 |
| BluesKaj | bhldev, /etc/resolv.conf has been replaced by /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base , that's where one lists the IPs you want to use with the interfaces file | 22:04 |
| === Guest75608 is now known as MrJuliuss | ||
| mbroeker | [[a], Windows and Linux uses UPNP to open ports on demand: skype or games use UPNP to auto-open ports and networking just works. | 22:04 |
| bhldev | hitsujiTMO, bekks, BluesKaj thanks, got it to work also just found out about the base | 22:05 |
| bekks | bhldev: the /etc/resolv.conf doesnt set any IP addresses of an interface. It configures the DNS servers to be used only. | 22:05 |
| bhldev | this is why I use ubuntu, ubuntu people are nicer ;p | 22:05 |
| bhldev | although I should have realized to use bridged instead of NAT | 22:06 |

| ice799 | Hi - I know you can use preseeding on ubuntu to automate package installation but is it possible to use preseed.cfg to install build-deps too? For example, I want to automate "apt-get build-dep package" -- is it possible to do this with preseeding? if so, what is the syntax? | 22:26 |
| res_ | hi, i'm using ubuntu 13.10 64 bit. The copy process is taking a lot of cpu, around 90% of it. i'm having an core i3 processor with 4gb of ram. also the process mono takes about 10% of the cpu. i tried searching and found a lot of similar threads in forums but not a solution. is this a bug or is there a solution for it? thanks | 22:26 |
| Rory | ice799: Not natively, the best thing to do would be to run "apt-get build-dep <package>" yourself and use preseed to install those packages | 22:26 |
| TJ- | EMKO: OK... if you reboot it and go into the grub menu, and choose a "Recovery" option matching the older kernel you know will boot... that will avoid the graphical user interface. It'll give you a text menu where you can choose to enable networking and then 'drop' to a root shell terminal. From there, you can 'pastebinit' some of the log files... does that sound OK? | 22:27 |
| ice799 | Rory: I see, OK thanks | 22:27 |
| bitpaul | amh345: does the boot log show anything? | 22:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | amh345: that top output looks fairly normal to me | 22:27 |
| EMKO | TJ-: yea 3.2 recovery drops me to desktop only 3.0 goes to that menu is that ok? | 22:27 |
| Rory | res_: Are you using full-disk encryption? | 22:28 |
| TJ- | EMKO: That is fine... the important thing is to get to the text shell with networking enabled | 22:28 |
| amh345 | hitsujiTMO: so the idle is no big deal? | 22:28 |
| bitpaul | amh345: agreed, I don't see anything weird about the top output | 22:28 |
| res_ | Rory: nop, i am not | 22:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | amh345: idle = cpu processing time not being used. | 22:28 |
| Rory | res_: OK, when you say the copy process, what are you referring to? | 22:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | amh345: its normal to have a high idle on a low usage | 22:29 |
| res_ | Rory: I'm copying a bunch of files, a lot of small files, about 400,000 files from my portable hdd to my laptop hdd | 22:29 |
| amh345 | so is idle just "available" cpu resource? | 22:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | amh345: effectively yes. | 22:29 |
| TJ- | res: Is the portable HDD connected via USB 2? | 22:30 |
| bitpaul | amh345: what problem were you attempting to resolve to start with? | 22:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | amh345: more that its cpu time not being allocated to a process | 22:30 |
| EMKO | TJ-: ok done | 22:30 |
| TJ- | EMKO: great... first let me see the list of log files itself: "ls -latr /var/log/ | pastebinit" | 22:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | bitpaul: i think he just misunderstood the idle process | 22:31 |
| res | sorry, i got disconnected. Rory , the copy dialog has also disappeared for me | 22:31 |
| TJ- | EMKO: I'm assuming 'pastebinit' is already installed, and the network *is* working! | 22:31 |
| TJ- | res: Is the portable HDD connected via USB 2? | 22:31 |
| Rory | res_: OK, when you say the copy process, what are you referring to? | 22:31 |
| EMKO | TJ-: i have to reinstall it? | 22:31 |
| bonsu | which desktop environment is better gnome kde or xfsc ? | 22:31 |
| res | TJ-: yes it is | 22:31 |
| Rory | res: Sorry, I missed your answer above | 22:31 |
| bitpaul | hitsujiTMO: ah, I was assuming he thought this was a symptom of something else. I know I can get lost from time to time on secondary issues when I see things I don't quite understand. | 22:32 |
| TJ- | EMKO: Not if it is already there, no... but if you get an error "command not found" then yes, you will need to install it | 22:32 |
| res | Rory: no probs, the copy process is just right-click copy-paste | 22:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | bonsu: better in what sense exactly? its a pretty ambiguous term | 22:32 |
| Rory | res: Is the target filesystem ntfs? There's no native ntfs driver, so I guess copying a very large number of small files to an ntfs filesystem could cause high CPU usage | 22:32 |
| res | Rory: , no my laptop hdd is ext4 | 22:33 |

| bonsu | one that weigh less | 22:34 |
| TJ- | res: When copying large numbers of files using the GUI, often times the system spends more time building pretty internally lists of all the files it needs to copy, using up valuable RAM, and leading to extremely long-winded copy operations. | 22:34 |

| Xgates | is purge still better for getting everything out on an install instead of remove, or both doing the same? apt-get purge/remove? | 22:52 |
| Rory | Guest90938: "get online" what do you mean? | 22:53 |
| k1l | !apt | Xgates | 22:53 |

| rizmut | demon^eye: you could give GoldenDict a try | 23:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | darkblue_b: lol, yup, it give your current pinning config and the possible entries in relation to specifying a repo | 23:01 |

| [[thufir]] | how do I authetnitcate my username? | 23:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | darkblue_b: this should work for you. it will not install the other packages http://paste.ubuntu.com/6654092/ | 23:08 |
| TJ- | EMKO: OK, I need "pastebinit /var/log/syslog.1" | 23:08 |
| darkblue_b | hitsujiTMO: huh? | 23:08 |
| darkblue_b | what do I do ? | 23:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | darkblue_b: save that to a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d | 23:09 |
| darkblue_b | oh gee.. ok I can try | 23:09 |
| darkblue_b | ultimately, there is a series of 100 scripts that run to build our linux setup.. and I am tasking myself with understanding this.. so we want a scripted solution.. if adding a file like that to /etc/apt/preferences.d is the right thing.... | 23:10 |
| darkblue_b | .. it seems that sets all other packages in johanvdw to priority -10 and then sets the one package postgis up high... | 23:11 |
| darkblue_b | we do not have the finalized repo yet.. this is all very alpha | 23:11 |
| darkblue_b | the johan himself suggested briely that we disable apt.postgresql.org at the install time | 23:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | darkblue_b: well that's how you configure apt-pinning. i've given everything in that repo a negative priority so it will not install those packages. and postgis is given a higher priority so that it will be chosen above the other repos. is that what you were looking for? | 23:12 |
| darkblue_b | that seeems hacky too | 23:12 |
| darkblue_b | hitsujiTMO: I appreciate any tips of course... | 23:12 |
| EMKO | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6654119/ | 23:13 |
| darkblue_b | we have been building for several years and the 2013 releases were quite good.. so its not a big waste here.. but this package is new, so I am learning a bit | 23:13 |
| darkblue_b | thx for your patience | 23:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | darkblue_b: you shouldn't need to disable the repos, just prioritise the packages from your preffered repo | 23:14 |
| darkblue_b | hitsujiTMO: yeah - thats what I guessed | 23:14 |
| === nikcsareb_ is now known as nikcsareb | ||
| yellow | Hi | 23:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | darkblue_b: when you have conflicting packages its good to set the unwanted pages to a lower priority (or negative priority preferably) and only prioritise the necessary packages above all else. issues ofcouse do arise when there's dependencies involved and you may need to set priorities for a number of pckages | 23:16 |

| hitsujiTMO | adas: as glitsj16 pointed out. you must specify the full path to flexget. cron doesn't have a $PATH set | 23:36 |
| kieppie | kostkon: I have & kept it current. It did improve things a little, but power-management & power-consumption overall is pretty horrendous. TBH it's an issue that I've always seen around the Linux-watercooler | 23:36 |

| Bootcamp | Ah ok so I need the PC version if I go with either of those type of partition schemes? So the Mac ISO version I would use for example if I wanted to wipe the Mac OSX and install ubuntu directly to the drive? | 23:56 |
| gordonjcp | Sia-: so, you can't run Ubuntu on Apple Macs? | 23:56 |
| Sia- | sorry want to say my opinion with apple machines for almost 5 years | 23:56 |
| Bootcamp | I just need Ubuntu on the Mac to configure and compile Android Roms | 23:56 |
| TJ- | EMKO: "ls -latr /var/lib/initramfs-tools/ | pastebinit" | 23:56 |
| constl | deadmund: You are right there is mask directive in the configuraton. After following some guides on the net i successfuly set up a share folder in the default /srv/samba/share path. After changing it to something different i.e. an external drive i could not log as previously. After examing the folder permissions the default path has owner root and 0755 and the latter just 700. So I'm trying to change the latter but cant with chmod | 23:56 |
| Bootcamp | and this MacBookPro is fast 1TB PCIe drive and 16GB ram and Haswell fastest mobile processor | 23:57 |
| Sia- | gordonjcp, you can but.....aha ok let's try it maybe other ppl are cleaver than me | 23:57 |
| jaime | Hey deadmund you rang my bells I have a Window 2008 server It's acting as a file server I'm able to share to my other Windows machine but neither my Linux machines able to access the drive. | 23:57 |
| EMKO | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6654321/ | 23:57 |
| gordonjcp | Sia-: Macbooks are the best laptops for running Linux... | 23:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | Bootcamp: i'm not 100% sure since i don't have a mac, but i believe the intention for the mac iso is for a non bootcamp install, such as replacing or dualbooting in a more native fashion | 23:57 |
| Bootcamp | I see | 23:58 |
| gordonjcp | you really want refind | 23:58 |
| TJ- | EMKO: OK... there's a problem. In that directory should be listed all the installed kernels, but only a single old kernel is listed, so update-initramfs isn't processing the newer kernels | 23:58 |
| Bootcamp | That makes more sense | 23:58 |
| Bootcamp | thanks | 23:58 |
| gordonjcp | stick refind on it, that'll help | 23:58 |
| TJ- | EMKO: I just need to test a fix for that here | 23:58 |
| Sia- | gordonjcp, as i say i have 3 apple machines home i'm using linux on 2 of them, each upgrade update i should retouch some system file. | 23:58 |
| EMKO | TJ-: is it because im using this kernal right now? | 23:58 |
| pvl1 | im getting some errors running dpkg -P, says subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 | 23:58 |
| gordonjcp | Sia-: you must be doing something wrong | 23:59 |
| deadmund | constl: If the external drive is mounted in a folder (and it's not an ext formatted drive). You need to unmount the drive, chmod the folder, and then mount the drive again into that folder. | 23:59 |
| TJ- | EMKO: no, it's because the upgrade failed at some point | 23:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | pvl1: you'll need to paste the full output | 23:59 |
