[00:00] jaime: You need to configure the samba client on those other linux machines (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide [00:00] gordonjcp, as i said i have archlinux and ubuntu of them., specially the ATI graphic card are very buggy! Actually isn't ubuntu or linux fault at all. [00:00] EMKO: "update-initramfs -c -v -k 3.8.0-34-generic 2>&1 | tee /tmp/update02.log" then after it finishes, "pastebinit /tmp/update02.log" [00:01] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6654339/ [00:01] deadmund: Don't get it. why do I have to unmount a USB drive to change some permission on a folder. [00:01] Thank you deadmund [00:02] Hi i was looking to have a hard drive be listed under devices in the system folder on ubuntu [00:02] EMKO: looking good... we'll do the other one now, too... "update-initramfs -ck 3.2.0-24-generic" [00:02] hitsujiTMO: im starting to think its not an ubuntu problem :E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) its a script configured for the app in question methinks [00:02] deadmund: Guess it's the filesystem, had to google it. Thanks for the tip deadmund [00:03] EMKO: Then lets check that those versions are now known to update-initramfs tools: "ls -latr /var/lib/initramfs-tools/ | pastebinit" [00:03] pvl1: need the lines above that for the exact error === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [00:03] constl: Well, if the filesystem type doesn't support unix file permissions (e.g. ntfs, fat) then the system simply takes the permissions of the folder it was mounted in and pushes it through. It's a bug that you can't chmod it while mounted, it's a feature that file permissions are extended to the files on that partition. [00:03] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6654356/ [00:03] constl: However, the bug is deep and old so I'm guessing the develops have some reason for keeping it (may be a good reason even! IDK though) [00:03] jaime: Sure [00:04] constl: Yes, it's a shortcoming of the file system type [00:04] !away > dziegler_off [00:04] dziegler_off, please see my private message [00:04] Hi, I would like to enable hibernation, but Swap is not available. I tried to follow this answer: http://askubuntu.com/a/199372, but aparently I don't have a swap partition. (How) should I make one? [00:04] EMKO: Great :) This could be the final step! "update-grub 2>&1 | tee /tmp/update03.log" then "pastebinit /tmp/update03.log" [00:05] deadmund: Can you recommend a filesystem for an external drive residing on a ubuntu machine for file serving purposes? If it can be read by win8.1 or mac os x and still behave as ext3 would be awesome [00:05] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6654362/ [00:06] EMKO: At this point, you should try a normal reboot ..... "reboot" :) *fingers crossed* [00:06] kalekip1: can you pastebin the output of: lsblk [00:06] hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/Zp2w87Pz [00:06] i was looking to get my harddrive to show up under 'devices' in ubuntu [00:06] constl: I would suggest NTFS or fat32 because those can be read by all three. But you can use ext4 and install drivers in windows to read it. [00:06] it shows up one of the partitions just not both [00:06] constl: I think os x can read ext4 by default but I'm not sure. [00:07] hitsujiTMO: sudo blkid shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6654367/ [00:07] deadmund: Thank you sir, i will look more into it myself [00:07] hitsujiTMO: or did you really mean lsblk? [00:07] constl: syre [00:07] kalekip1: yes lsblk [00:08] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6654371/ [00:08] kalekip1: how much ram do you have? [00:08] hitsujiTMO: 16 GB [00:08] ;) [00:09] TJ-: nice it booted and to fullscreen but still no unity just desktop image and mouse i can right click and context menu does popup but thats about it [00:09] kalekip1: you'll need to resize down a partition (such as /dev/sda7) by at least 16gb and create a swap partition in its place [00:10] hitsujiTMO: OK, thanks. I'll probably do that tomorrow. It's getting late now :P [00:10] any tips on getting devices to show up under file / 'devices' in ubuntu? [00:10] emko: does ctrl + alt + t bring up a terminal? [00:10] hitsujiTMO: yes [00:11] kalekip1, why not first test with a swap file? [00:11] much easier than repartitioning [00:11] gdi2k: And how would I do that? [00:11] (side note: I never got hibernation working, regardless of swap file size) [00:11] (or swap size in general) [00:11] EMKO: OK... well that's progress! I suggest you switch to a tty using "Ctrl+Alt+F1" log-in, and create a new user profile with "sudo adduser test" and then restart the GUI with "sudo service lightdm restart" and try logging in as "test" user. If the dash and panels are still not there we know its a system problem, not a user profile problem. [00:11] gdi2k: Has probably to do with your drivers [00:12] pvl1: whats output of: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnunet-server* [00:12] kalekip1, Probably: check this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-a-swap-file-on-an-arch-linux-cloud-server [00:12] ramborocks: what type of device? [00:13] TJ-: it might be the .config .cache .dbus .gnome etc, etc files in his /home dir [00:13] WhatIsTheMatrix: Precisely; hence a new clean user profile will help us determine that [00:13] TJ-: yeah, rgr that [00:13] a harddrive [00:13] A good time for a dumb question? [00:13] sure [00:14] ramborocks: what connection type? [00:14] if there is such a thing [00:14] its mounted correctly i believe - one of the partitions show up but the main does not [00:14] ramborocks: ahh. ok so not an issue with it not showing up in /dev then:P ok, what filesystem? [00:15] Great [00:15] ubuntu 13.10 and i believe its ext4 [00:15] whats the command to check blklid? [00:15] How do I drag with ubuntu touchpad on asus netbook? [00:15] ramborocks: Are you meaning you want to see it in the graphical user interface's File Manager ? [00:15] ramborocks: sudo blkid [00:16] Autoclesis, hold left button with thumb and use fingers to drag [00:16] yes i would like to see it when i go to unity under files - 'devices' [00:16] hold the left button... [00:16] okay ObrienDave let me try thank you [00:16] i was wrong its ntfs [00:16] ramborocks: if its a ext fs then you can't afaik. you must manually mount it or add it to fstab [00:17] hi i'm running 12.10 and every time i enter a password i get this silly prompt about not entering a keyring password. i hit cancel and then keep doing what i was doing before. [00:17] ramborocks: ntfs should auto show up in devices alright [00:17] ObrienDave, what's the "left button"? [00:17] i don't want to store my passwords on the machine. how can i make it go away? [00:17] http://pastebin.com/2ysmhU5q [00:17] hitsujiTMO: /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnunet-server.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnunet-server.postrm [00:17] * Autoclesis feels retarded [00:17] small lotus shows up in the devices.. but yet 'lotus' does not [00:17] Autoclesis, doesn't your touchpad have 2 buttons? [00:18] ramborocks: lsblk please [00:18] it has a single black space with a line on it [00:19] pvl1: can you pastebin the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnunet-server.postrm [00:19] http://pastebin.com/L9QR4980 [00:20] Autoclesis, ok, try the left "half" [00:20] http://www.mwave.com/mwave/specHR/images/BE05692d.jpg [00:20] ObrienDave, ^^^ [00:20] yes I have been... [00:21] hi guys [00:21] hello [00:21] thats a new command for me lsblk :) [00:21] Wooooo [00:21] Autoclesis: Did you try a double-tap and drag? [00:21] it seems to work [00:21] gdi2k: Ty [00:21] ramborocks: its not showing up indevices as you have it in fstab mounting to /mnt/media_sdb1 [00:22] TJ-, yes sir [00:22] Autoclesis, then try further to the left. you might need to adjust the button "zone" area [00:22] hmm i dont want it to do that [00:22] Autoclesis: What's the exact make/model of the netbook? [00:22] hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/QG1XeYeu no rush btw [00:22] ramborocks: you need to remove the entry for /etc/fstab [00:22] im new. thats why i put it there. [00:22] has anyone ever figured out a way to make the bootup, restart/shutdown of Plymouth clean looking 100% without any text spewing across the screen? It's my understand this is more of a laptop issue, desktops that have auto adjust of the aspect ratio aren't affected, but I'm not certain, I've always run Ubuntu on laptops... [00:23] if i remove it will it not load at all? [00:23] Asus 1015E [00:23] ramborocks: that ofcourse will require you to manually mount the drive each time [00:23] kalekip1, np. I think partitioned swap is supposed to be faster than swapfile, so if everything is working, you could consider going the partition route... [00:23] 1015e ds03 [00:23] http://www.amazon.com/1015E-DS03-10-1-Inch-Laptop-Black-Ubuntu/dp/B00COQK8QY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388276599&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+1015e-ds03 [00:23] can i create a new mount point for it? [00:24] Sure it's just a cosmetic issue, and I like tweaking this trying to make it work, but I've not been able to come up with anything, unless to keep things simple the kernel logging can be set to not display as much information... [00:24] i just want it to show up when i go look at devices rather than have to track it down [00:24] Autoclesis: I read "...The touchpad, when you tap once, works as a left-click. If you tap twice and keep your finger on the pad you can drag windows or select text etc... pretty much like you're holding the left mouse button down. If you tap with 2 fingers it does send the "right-click" command but it doesn't work all the time..." [00:24] gdi2k: Any idea how much I should've allocated it? I gave it 1024 MB [00:24] TJ-, thank you very much for researching it... [00:24] * Autoclesis reads [00:25] kalekip1, I think for hibernate to work you're supposed to make it at least as large as RAM (16+ GB in your case) [00:25] two finger right click works perfectly [00:25] Autoclesis: Check this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection [00:25] okay [00:25] also when using Nvidia drivers, with Saucy are we suppose to see the splash saying Ubuntu at boot? [00:25] secondary menu appears with two finger double tap [00:26] gdi2k: correct, I just searched it :p [00:26] TJ-, thanks, I'll work through that [00:26] it's just dragging that's a bust [00:27] Autoclesis: maybe the drag is a bit picky about the delay between the two taps? Try it much faster, or much slower, just in case. [00:27] heh [00:27] Are you saying I lack rhythm!?! [00:28] * Autoclesis shares some leftover peppermint cake with TJ- [00:28] Xgates: on your plymouth topic .. not sure if i understand it correctly .. it's the wrong resolution? that can be fixed with some tinkering, if not ignore .. getting a bit slowww here [00:28] pvl1: cat /etc/passwd | grep gnunet && cat /etc/group | grep gnunet && cat /etc/group | grep gnunetdns [00:28] Let me poke at it and embarrass myself some more [00:28] oh my god [00:29] it's working? [00:29] glitsj16: yes resolution I know, I was asking if anyone figured out a way to not have the bootup/restart/shutdown process display any text, making it 100% text free? [00:29] yes because I didn't realize it was also an actual button, WhatIsTheMatrix , ObrienDave , TJ- [00:29] usually that's what ppl say when it actually works, lol [00:29] my Apple experience mislead me [00:29] Autoclesis: Yay! [00:29] When I picked up the netbook I felt the click of the actual button-button [00:30] :) [00:30] plymouth at least on laptops has always had text spewing across the screen... [00:30] Autoclesis, ROFL ;)) [00:30] tee hee [00:30] * TJ- nom nom noms the peppermint cake [00:30] kalekip1: for hibernation you need to allocate at a minimum the amount of ram you have [00:30] Autoclesis, you made my day. thank you :) [00:30] * Autoclesis awards TJ- and ObrienDave and WhatIsTheMatrix Distinguished Ubuntu Awards [00:30] my pleasure! [00:30] hitsujiTMO: I see... [00:30] I never had a netbook before... [00:31] guess it takes some nuance :-) [00:31] Xgates: okay, with having 'quiet' in the kernel boot params there's not much i see, so 100% graphical here, unless the fsck messages when they run) [00:31] kalekip1: if at anystage you are using more ram than the size of the swap partition then hibernation will fail [00:31] glitsj16: you on a desktop or laptop? [00:31] I've been using Ubuntu forever [00:32] Xgates: laptop, also using nvidia [00:32] but now I want to use mypaint in the field with a wacom [00:32] hitsujiTMO: My Windows hibernation keeps failing. Is that almost the same? [00:32] Autoclesis: poor lad LOL... [00:32] and I got a GPS dongle [00:32] hehe [00:32] Autoclesis: Don't tap it too hard :p [00:32] glitsj16: so it does not display any text for you? [00:32] kalekip1: that uses a seperate hibernation file which also needs to be the same as the amount of ram you have [00:32] I even see the login prompt flash by the screen before the desktop loads [00:33] that's ridiculous... [00:33] gdi2k: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq "It cannot use a swap file on an active file system." [00:33] What does that exactly mean? [00:33] Xgates: no not really, i did the resolution fix for plymouth but since then pretty clean and cosmetic [00:33] I've tried Suspending the computer and returning from Suspend, and both times my display has crashed upon login and I've been forced to do a hard shut off and restart this desktop computer. What is the problem and how do I fix it? :) [00:33] kalekip1, ah [00:33] glitsj16: what fix you did? Have an URL? [00:33] Xgates: sure, hang on [00:33] thx [00:33] Does it mean that it doesn't work? :/ [00:34] kalekip1, wasn't aware of that, but makes sense when I think about it. paritioning it is then [00:34] hitsujiTMO: u need that outpu [00:34] t [00:34] pvl1: please [00:34] gdi2k: OK, thanks anyways :( [00:34] For me in Saucy after I press the power button to resume from suspend my screen on the laptop looks like the brightness is turned half way down... :( [00:34] and my F keys, my luck dont work, so have to reboot [00:35] hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/pbY5Rmua [00:35] gdi2k: Will look at it tomorrow. It's turning 2 o'clock. Good night. [00:35] kalekip1, if partitioning is a major mission, you may try just whacking a swap partition on a USB stick [00:35] just for testing [00:35] Xgates: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html is where it all started for me, but the script in that page might not work anymore, depending on your ubuntu version .. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html .. but depending on the ubuntu version that might not work anymore .. what are you on? [00:35] Saucy [00:36] gdi2k: Time is not a problem, as long as it works without demolishing my PC :) [00:36] bai [00:36] Xgates: i don't think that has hwinfo in the repos, can you check ? [00:36] apt-cache policy hwinfo should do it [00:36] kalekip1, downsizing partitions has always worked for me, although it does take a long time. don't forget to back up though! [00:37] pvl1: sudo deluser pavel gnunet [00:37] no hwinfo in saucy [00:37] I [00:37] errrr [00:38] Xgates: no worries, there's always other options in linux [00:38] I've seen that URL before, I can't remember if I tried that before or not... [00:38] pvl1: once thats done, please try to purge the package again [00:38] hitsujiTMO: that would make sense. but i dont understand it. [00:38] hitsujiTMO: why would my group participation prevent a purge [00:39] Xgates: on saucy i believe the second answer on http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen provides the same result [00:39] pvl1: i thinks the problem stems from a poorly written uninstall script. when it tries to delete the group it returns an error because your user is in that group. since the script is set to -e it returns on any error [00:40] I forgot but it's in the forum, you don't have to install anything just some manual changes is all... [00:40] let me try to find it... [00:40] * Xgates digs [00:40] Xgates: if you have done the fix that should be recognizable in your /etc/default/grub [00:40] yes === ib is now known as Guest6767 [00:41] hitsujiTMO: it failed the first time, i removed the user gnunet, and it worked. however, what about this gnunetdns, is that a group or user [00:41] pvl1: its both, tho it seems it should just be a group according to the uninstall script [00:42] hitsujiTMO: ill investigate it. thank you very much for your help! [00:42] pvl1: no problems [00:42] deadmund: I'm having some problems still with accessing a now ext4 external drive through samba. I'm guessing it has to do with how it gets automounted by default. Any hints? [00:42] pvl1: what version of ubuntu are you using btw? [00:42] hitsujiTMO: 13.10 [00:43] cool, i'll report a bug on the issue [00:43] Is askubuntu.com the replacement of ubuntuforums for seeking technical support from the community?

[03:07] mojtaba: on event or at a certain time? [03:08] somsip: I want to make it weekly, but if the time passed, run the backup whenever the external hard drive is present. [03:09] mojtaba: no idea on that one. You probably need to hook into something that can monitor events, so that 'when ext drive is plugged in, run this script' Maybe dbus. I'm guessing [03:11] hugoalmeida. #ubuntu-pt [03:11] somsip: is it possible to use 'if' statement? if the mounted point is equal to the path? [03:12] mojtaba: yes, but that will only occur when the script is run. So at 6:30am if the mountpoint is populated, run the script. Which is not what you said you wanted [03:14] jeffrey_f valew [03:15] somsip: yes, you are right [03:15] mojtaba: so either you only backup at a fixed time if the drive is present, or you find some way of hooking into the mount event and run it then === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [03:18] hi guys [03:18] For Dash I'm not interested in the ability to do a search in it, is there a way to remove the Search section at the top of Dash? [03:24] My laptop hard drive crashed. Acer is replacing the drive. I want to reinstall win 8 but also want dual boot 13.04. Do I load win 8 first and then 13.04 or what's the best approach on a new drive? [03:25] install Win8 first so Ubuntu will add it later into Grub [03:25] building a program is mind numbingly boring [03:26] Xgates: Is this because win 8 wants to think it's in command? [03:26] do I set up the partitioning first, from win 8 install or after it's installed completely? [03:27] Install Ubuntu first and Win8 will wipe it out the bootloader/grub [03:27] I'd think I want 3 partitions; 1) win 8, 2) ubuntu, and 3) data [03:27] ok [03:27] I have a USB serial cable connected to a router I want to configure using PuTTy, how can I tell what /dev/foo device it is?

I am also able to reach the grub screen and enter recovery mode if that helps [03:34] aeaglez: ok, so you launch update-manager and it updates or is it all up to date? [03:34] aeaglez: you can not directly upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 or 13.10 [03:35] aeaglez: mine says The software on this computer is up to date.

[03:37] aeaglez: 14.04 is in development and not yet stable [03:38] xangua, will it work just for c++, html5,css3,etc? [03:38] aeaglez: It will, but at this time it cannot be recommended for use on production machines! [03:39] SonikkuAmerica, ok so how do i update to 13.04 only, or i cannot? [03:39] SonikkuAmerica, should i boot it on a live CD? [03:39] **14.04 [03:39] aeaglez: you will need to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 and then from 12.10 to 13.04 [03:40] aeaglez: Yes, 12.04 LTS > 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 [03:40] xangua, so if press the 14.04 button, will it automatically jump me to 14.04 or will it take me to 12.10 first?

[04:02] Not sure WhatIsTheMatrix [04:02] i heard elementary os was very good.. never tried it [04:02] slimjimflim, idk the only option it is giving me is to upgrade straight to 14.04 [04:02] i hate it [04:03] when I do: sudo du . -d1 -h it tells me that . is 6.8gb but when I add all the directories up they do not total 6.8 gb [04:03] gotcha Logan_ [04:03] aeaglez: You probably have development releases turned on in your config. [04:03] aeaglez: depends on how bad you want to run a 'testing' version of the os... i am running it right now [04:03] hey guys [04:03] i'm too used to lubuntu to change [04:04] i've been using xubuntu forever. now i'm back on plain ubuntu. don't really like it in comparison [04:04] AlecTaylor: you could try... 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' and see if that does anything [04:04] quidsup gave elementary os #2 best distro of 2013 [04:04] hi all [04:04] but now i'm kinda an vanilla ubuntu noob again [04:04] Here is a snippet of the output of lspci http://pastebin.com/A1R8erWT Just to make sure I'm reading this right, I have version 2.0 of PCI-E correct? [04:04] AlecTaylor: you'll probably need to restart X to see if it does [04:04] i tried elementary os for a week === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [04:04] WhatIsTheMatrix: I ran it, will test when I logout next [04:04] is there a command to switch from vanilla ubuntu to xubuntu? [04:04] Thanks [04:05] AlecTaylor: okay. i have my doubts that will return the original login background, but worth a try [04:05] Hi users, I updated ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 and I am seeing a flat black image uppon reboot...any ideas??? [04:05] Mmm, well if you think of anything else do tell [04:06] overall elementary is good with some bugs, it crashed after i upgraded the kernel to 3.11 [04:06] rosenthal: do you get to grub? [04:06] slimjimflim you could install the xubuntu-desktop on top of it and choose xubuntu on your lightdm login screen [04:06] 2x [04:06] im willing to give 1 million dollars to any team of devs that can make a streamline linux distro within 6 months with full windows compatibility [04:06] 安装N卡驱动失败后 卸载 NVIDIA X Server Settings 在设置管理器里删不掉怎么办 [04:06] !zh | jony [04:06] jony: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [04:06] gerry_: what's lightdm? [04:06] slimjimflim: Im able to access grub. What do I change [04:06] gerry_: are you talking about a separate partition? [04:07] im getting an error "update information is outdated" in a red (!) in my taskbar. anyone know what that is? i tried apt-get updating [04:07] Cajunfiend: Do you get any errors after doing an apt-get update? [04:07] rosenthal: you could try one of the previous images [04:07] Cajunfiend: what version of ubuntu? [04:07] slimjimflim no... go to the terminal and type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop... and you'll have xubuntu as a choice in your login.. no partition needed [04:07] gerry_: score [04:07] 13.10 and yes i get errors for launchpad for some reason [04:07] ppa.launchpad.net [04:07] Cajunfiend: Pastebin your output.

[04:09] my favorite being lubuntu because it's so lightweight and tbh looks just as good as any eye-candy desktop depending on how you design it [04:09] gerald: No one here wastes time on nonsense like that [04:09] put the panel on top, made it black, added docky and compositing.. and i'm good to go [04:09] i wasnt kidding @ walterwoj [04:09] AlecTaylor: you might also do the following.... sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity-greeter [04:09] Logan_, thanks. I fixed it. was a bad ppa :) [04:10] Cajunfiend: Awesome, good to hear! :) [04:10] gerald, kidding or not we just don't care [04:10] gerald: If you were serious you would hire a firm to do that for you, not trolling here, goodbye [04:10] ok thank you for your time [04:12] wasnt trolling jus wanted to help the linux community with a project but noone seems to have the will [04:12] anyone know if there's a way to remove the Search section at the top of Dash?

[04:23] WhatIsTheMatrix: It didn't work [04:24] AlecTaylor: rgr [04:25] AlecTaylor: it was worth a try. did you also do? although that probably isn't it either --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity-greeter [04:26] mojtaba: redirects output to somewhere that doesn't matter [04:26] > /dev/null this one redirects the output. what does this one do? 2>&1? [04:26] WhatIsTheMatrix: Yeah, I did do the unity-greeter one also [04:27] mojtaba: Redirects all stdin and stderr input [04:28] mojtaba: redirects both stdout and stderr to dev/null [04:28] AlecTaylor: rgr. what do you get from the following? --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager [04:28] AlecTaylor: somsip: Why you have put it at the end? 2>&1 [04:29] * AlecTaylor got /usr/sbin/lightdm [04:29] ^ WhatIsTheMatrix [04:29] * AlecTaylor got /usr/sbin/lightdm [04:30] mojtaba: because that is the required syntax [04:30] somsip: ok, thank you very much.

[04:36] mojtaba: no. I'd guess they are rdiff-backup errors [04:36] somsip: how can I ensure if the backup is correct? === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [04:37] hi I have a quick question, the answer might be obvious, i dunno [04:37] Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu on a new computer, but have ran into an issue i have never seen before. I was able to go through the whole install, but during the install, and afterwords, I am unable to properly interact with "windows" meaning I cannot move a window around on the screen or click buttons on it, as if it wasn't even there, but I can use keyboard controls just fine. Does anyone know of this problem and have a solut [04:37] you know how when you login, it should show $path before the command yuou're typing? [04:37] wait should I specifically join a server channel? [04:37] is there a separate server channel? [04:38] forresthopkinsa, you are already in #ubuntu [04:38] ok... [04:38] WhatIsTheMatrix: Alright, I'll ask in a few hours [04:38] forresthopkinsa, go on [04:38] AlecTaylor: ok, good luck [04:38] mojtaba: verify it. And the answer to your next question is to read the manual [04:38] instead of showing the homepath before the command line, it just shows $ [04:38] on a new user i made [04:39] Has anyone ran into my problem themselves, or heard of it otherwise before? [04:39] would screenshots be helpful? [04:40] forresthopkinsa, w8 you asked if there is an ubuntu server channel? [04:40] mm hmm [04:40] !server | forresthopkinsa [04:40] hmm [04:40] forresthopkinsa, #ubuntu-server [04:40] what [04:41] ok thanks [04:41] forresthopkinsa: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [04:41] mm hmm thanks [04:41] kostkon: ubottu is sleepy-slow today... [04:41] somsip, heh [04:42] too much turkey [04:43] mikodo: hehe [04:43] Does anyone know why I am not able to use "windows" as in a window on the desktop (instance of firefox, file manager, etc) properly? I am not able to use my mouse to drag them around the screen, or click buttons on them. It's as if the windows don't exist, but I can use keyboard controls just fine. [04:48] Is anyone familiar with my issue? [04:49] Hi! I just had a simple question. I like the mpv media player (https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv). I see Ubuntu has the mpv package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpv. If a new version of mpv is released, will Ubuntu update the package so it's the newest version, or will I have to add a PPA, like https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/mpv-tests? I'm just asking because I saw this https://askubuntu.com/questions/151283/why-dont-the-ubuntu [04:49] -repositories-have-the-latest-versions-of-software. [04:49] morning to all [04:49] ranger: no, sorry. i take it you do have a mouse pointer [04:49] howdy lotuspsychje [04:49] I do have a mouse pointer, but it doesn't do anything, or interact with anything. [04:49] Cheeseball: normally it will update itself [04:49] ranger: does it move? [04:50] Cheeseball: dpends on the release. Minor releases do get upgraded usually, but major releases won't. I think that's the general rule of thumb anyway [04:50] Yes [04:50] WhatIsTheMatrix: hello mate :p [04:50] ranger: roger. sorry i don't know [04:50] Should I add the PPA anyway just to be safe and make sure I don't miss anything? [04:50] Can I use mouse for left handed option and not disable the touch pad tap click ? [04:50] Ok, thanks, I appreciate the acknolegment of my problem :) [04:50] Cheeseball: You'll usually have to wait until the next release of Ubuntu because stable release updates are usually only for minor updates. [04:50] !ppa | Cheeseball [04:50] Cheeseball: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [04:50] ranger: sure. you just installed? [04:51] Yes [04:51] I tried 13.10 and 12.04 [04:51] Cheeseball: Bear in mind that PPAs don't have the same kind of support/quality (necessarily) that official, Ubuntu repository packages do. [04:51] im looking for an all-in-one gui ssd tweak package, anyone seen something like this? [04:52] Alright, thanks. So what you're saying is that if the package got updated, it'd just be for security updates/bugfixes? [04:52] Cheeseball: pretty much how it seems to be to me [04:52] Cheeseball: For the most part, yes. Unless it's backported, which doesn't happen all that often due to the complexity involved. [04:52] Oh, alright, thanks. [04:53] If you like having a rolling release with all of the latest versions of packages, try Debian. === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:53] ranger: roger that. perhaps something that needs to be installed has not been installed yet. [04:54] Hm. That's what I would like, a rolling release distro, but Arch is a bit of a hassle to set up, and I hear Debian freezes packages too, and they generally make choices I don't agree with (Iceweasel instead of Firefox, and not including wifi drivers in the name of freedom) [04:54] ranger: do you have this package installed yet? --> xserver-xorg-input-mouse [04:54] Mabye, but I don't know what that could be, as the problem persisted in the installation for ubuntu (though the problem only seems to exist if there are 2+ windows open) [04:55] ranger: oh. that does sound strange [04:55] Cheeseball: better stay on ubuntu, the most popular Os :p [04:55] unless thats a default package, I don't have it, as I ran the install about an hour ago [04:55] Hi, I am looking for a file system benchmarking tool that can generate i/o from distribution of file sizes, any suggestion? [04:55] in Saucy how can you disable automount of usb devices for FIles 3.8.2? [04:55] Oh well. Tough for me I guess. I guess I'll install Xubuntu and add the PPA. Thanks for clarifying that, guys. [04:55] ranger: run this command to see if you have it --> dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-mouse [04:55] Files 3.8.2 .... [04:56] I can't believe for a filemanger there are no preferences options... [04:56] hmm [04:56] Xgates: did you check the 'details' icon? [04:56] ranger: if you have it, the first two chars will be --> ii [04:56] Ok, I'll try that, but i'm actually booted into windows on the computer in question atm [04:56] Ok, thx [04:56] Can the left hand mouse option Not disable the touch pad tap to click ? === paulus68_1_ is now known as paulus68_1 [04:57] I'll see if I can open this tab on my tablet [04:57] lotuspsychje: what is the details icon? [04:57] ranger: you pretty new to gnu/linux? [04:57] sherry: Does this seem like what you're looking for? http://www.iozone.org/ You can install it with sudo apt-get install iozone3 [04:57] Xgates: where you can chose what to do, when you plugin media [04:58] I have used Ubuntu before, but I never got very familiar with terminal. [04:58] I was more of a copy - paster [04:58] Logan_: I got the whole list bt I am not sure that iozone can generate workloads from the "distribution of file sizes" [04:58] lotuspsychje: ahhh System Settings, nope nothing there for USB [04:58] sherry: Okay, was a shot in the dark. Perhaps someone else knows something better... :/ [04:59] I am not very familiar with gnu specifiacally though [04:59] ranger: it might be helpful if you could be running when trying to get help. but you'd probably need to be at a 'virtual console' and running irssi(an irc chat client). so you'd need to familiarize yourself some with irssi [04:59] ranger: running ubuntu* when trying to get help [04:59] Logan_:thanks btw [05:00] Yeah, thats a fair point [05:00] lotuspsychje: ok I checked 'Never prompt or start programs on media insertion' and that did the trick... thanks... :) [05:00] I'm trying to pull up this irc on another device so I can boot to ubuntu [05:00] sherry: No problem! === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [05:00] Xgates: thats what i meant :p [05:01] !yay | Xgates [05:01] Xgates: Glad you made it! :-) [05:01] ranger: gnu is some of the software made for linux. GNU is headed up by richard stallman --> www.gnu.org [05:01] LOL, I'm so use to file managers with the settings in them...

I was asking the people in the server channel, but they're pretty unresponsive. since it's command-line, I suppose I can ask for help here also? [05:03] Well I'm not new to Ubuntu hehe, been around it since it was born, just don't use it all that often... [05:03] What was that command again, to checck for mouse input?

[05:08] ranger_: ok. like i said, i don't know what's wrong, sorry. i'm still guessing that the problem is that something that needs to be installed is not installed on your fresh install of ubuntu yet. dunno tho [05:09] WhatIsTheMatrix: did you the glmatrix from xscreensaver?

I thought that since this time I got a computer with intel and nvidia, I would get better hardware support, but that may not be true [05:22] WhatIsTheMatrix: I do not [05:22] ranger: really new hardware can be a little flaky with gnu/linux sometimes [05:22] ranger: whats your ubuntu version mate? === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [05:23] well my auth.log says that some IP that I don't recognize has been spamming my server trying to login as root o.O [05:23] WhatIsTheMatrix: I'm on 13.10, but I also saw the problem on 12.04 [05:24] lotuspsychje: ^^ what I said to matix [05:24] !info denyhosts | forresthopkinsa [05:24] forresthopkinsa: denyhosts (source: denyhosts): Utility to help sys admins thwart SSH crackers.

[05:37] ranger_: man, doesn't sound good [05:39] WhatIsTheMatrix: It could be a hardware issue, due to me having a newer cpu and gpu, or somehow windows 8 might be messing with it, or possible both... or none [05:39] ranger_: maybe that laptop/chipset is just too new for gnu/linux yet. dunno [05:40] WhatIsTheMatrix: mabye, but if thats the case. . . that sucks. Plus I was running just fine in virtualbox [05:40] ranger_: maybe try installing ubuntu 14.04 testing on it. hehe. i'm running it right now ;-) [05:40] lotuspsychje: there are no errors.

[07:47] savingpvtbryan: any display on ctrl + alt + f8? [07:47] Hello, I was wondering, I can't seem to get a Win7 installation CD to boot, is there a way to make grub boot the CD drive? (On a laptop with secure boot and UEFI. Neither can be disabled... or else ubuntu won't boot) [07:48] Also, whats the best format for a shared Windows/Ubuntu partition? Is it still ntfs or have ext4 drivers finally been developed for faildows? [07:48] NictraSavios: that is normally a BIOS setup of the computer [07:48] <[[thufir]]> I can't get vuze to connect. It worked fine until I re-installed the OS, so the only variable in the equation to change is the OS and software. Using Oracle Java on 12.04 and 13.10, so it's not Java. The network is the same. Vuze passes the firewall test...so?? What now? "0 users" [07:49] hitsujiTMO: when I hit ctrl+alt+F8, I get a blinking cursor [07:49] ChickenBrain, Unfortunatly I've been playing in BIOS all night and there seems to be no way to make it boot a windows 7 installation CD or USB. So, I was wondering if grub could chain-load it? [07:49] NictraSavios: that would be the first BIOS ever in ages which would not be able to change the boot sequencel... [07:49] savingpvtbryan: hmm, please pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log sounds like its not loading lightdm [07:50] ChickenBrain, Nothing to do with boot sequence. It dosen't recognise the media as bootable. I tried with three different ISOs too. [07:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6655694/ [07:50] NictraSavios: have you verified the windows cd. ps this is more ##windows support not ubuntu support [07:51] indeed, if windows CD is not bootable I doubt that chainloading it with grub makes any difference [07:51] hitsujiTMO, I have. md5summed. And, I'm asking how to make grub2 chainload a CD. Which is more of a grub2 question, but I figured I'd ask here since I don't know of any grub2 support chat and I doubt it would be very active. [07:53] ChickenBrain, Three different ISOs not being bootable? I doubt it. Especially when one of them I've used in the past many many times. [07:53] good luck :) [07:53] NictraSavios: try creating a bootable windows usb instead [07:54] Anyway, about the actual ubuntu question, is ntfs still the standard for shared partiitions? [07:54] hipitihop, I did, trying with the third iso currently.

[10:16] I've tried the mdetect command and the terminal has returned intellimouse [10:16] hitsujiTMO, where would that be [10:16] such_coins: should be there somewhere. they're on every dell product [10:16] then, I've set intellimouse protocol with the inputattach command [10:16] hitsujiTMO, all I can seee is Dell XPS 12 [10:17] I've found a new input device in xinput list but I don't know how to enable it [10:17] such_coins: hmm. ok. can you by anychance take a pic of your keyboard then?

[10:22] hitsujiTMO, looks like it [10:23] such_coins: the service tag may be inside there [10:23] hitsujiTMO, it doesn't seem to open up easily and i don't want to force it... [10:24] such_coins: it should open from the battery side === carlos is now known as Guest33042 [10:25] such_coins: should not require forcing either [10:25] hitsujiTMO, it's pretty late here.

I've click it like 5 times. What could be the problem? [10:45] Also I've checked gnome-system-monitor and the process is not started [10:46] FireStorms: Rightclick on the icon and see which application should be started, then start that application from a terminal to see whats happening [10:49] bekks, The icon command is "/bin/sh "/home/michael/netbeans-7.2.1/bin/netbeans"" I run this in the terminal and nothing gets returned [10:49] then try to run /home/michael/netbeans-7.2.1/bin/netbeans [10:50] bekks, michael@michael-laptop:~/netbeans-7.2.1/bin$ ./netbeans [10:50] still nothing :/ [10:51] FireStorms: whats "nothing"? Any output? [10:51] It's never done this before [10:51] bekks, yes, no output, nothing gets returned by terminal [10:52] FireStorms: whats the output of "file /home/michael/netbeans-7.2.1/bin/netbeans"? [10:53] bekks, /home/michael/netbeans-7.2.1/bin/netbeans: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable [10:54] maybe it's a java program, I think netbeans is written in java [10:54] FireStorms: "POSIX shell script". [10:55] ouyes, sorry missed your msgs earlier, were you responding to me or a question [10:56] hi, i have a strange issue with ubuntu. my mouse focus isnt working well. i just installed ubuntu (nothing more) have a 7970 ati. the window focus and the mouse focus doesnt work. if i logout and relogin everything is fine. i also tryed to install the amd drivers and using awesome-wm instead of unity. same issue ... [10:57] bekks, haha it was java i killed the process and now netbeans has launched [10:57] thanks for your help! [10:58] ah, ists ubuntu 13.10 [11:01] hello how to stop ubuntu autologin [11:02] motaka2: have you tried typing that phrase into Google? [11:02] is it possible to change my username with usermod via ssh? [11:02] motaka2: system settings, user accounts, change it there [11:02] motaka2, go to user accounts, and each user has uto login option [11:02] gordonjcp: yes but mostely show the ways to make it autologin [11:03] cebor: you can do so, but you will have to relogin. [11:03] ubuntu is quite useless if the mouse and windowfocus doesnt work :( [11:03] motaka2: the very first hit is "How to disable automatic login" [11:04] tim__: it works for everyone else [11:04] tim__: It works perfectly as a headless server. [11:04] tim__: how about being a little more specific about your problem? [11:04] bekks: ok how ? i always get error that a process uses my login name, and i get disonnected when i kill the ssh connection [11:04] cebor: thats the caveat. you have to use another user who has sudo privileges. [11:05] Hi - Hope everyone had a good christmas or holidays - I have a keyboard problem... My keyboard stubbornly refuses to believe that its a UK keyboard. I bought a new keyboard just before christmas and it thinks its american. I've checked the settings... - I'm running ubuntu 13.04, and it's a logitech wireless keyboard. [11:05] bekks, i just installed ubuntu tihout any other software, using a amd ati 7970 and wired mouse, keyboards. i also googled a lot. what information is interesting? [11:05] done thx everybody [11:05] tim__: what sort of "doesn't work"? [11:06] tim__: the actual error messages you get. [11:06] tim__: if it's not working maybe you should hide the TV remote and take the mouse's cannabis away, make the idle sod go and get a job [11:06] how can I update the kernel. When ubunti is loading in grub list I have to always go to previous linux versions and choose an old version to resume , what should I do for that ? [11:07] motaka2: why do you have to do that? [11:07] motaka2: why cant you reboot and select a newer kernel? [11:07] motaka2: I have never seen that [11:07] cause if I choose the one in the main boot page, it goes to a black page and never comes out of it [11:07] gordonjcp, not sure, the wrong window has the focus, but i cant move windows around. sometimes i get the focus using alt tab, sometimes not. in firefox some shortcuts are working well, for example to get a new tab, [11:07] !nomodeset | motaka2 [11:07] motaka2: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [11:08] bekks: I have tried that and it didnt fix [11:08] gordonjcp, bekks , the interesting thing is, it disappears after relogin. [11:08] Alright... so. I have a PC that came pre-loaded with windows 8. It boots the ubuntu CD fine, until I disable secure boot. [11:08] Then it loads, and hangs on boot. [11:09] hi all [11:09] HI [11:10] how could I add an entry in the unity menu? I have installed eclipse in my ~/local/opt .. [11:11] aLeSD, make a .desktop file for eclipse.

[11:14] So can anyone help me? [11:15] motaka2, Looks like were stuck. [11:16] nictrasavios: How can I update grub? [11:16] motaka2, sudo update-grub ? [11:17] nictrasavios: maybe it is al about broken packages [11:22] never mind - I'm not sure what I did - I started clicking on random entries in the keyboard layout settings and it currently seems to be working. [11:22] gordonjcp, bekks , thinks this is the issue .... http://askubuntu.com/questions/148448/cyborg-rat-3-mouse-requires-relog . lol [11:24] how do i find the ip address that ubuntu is using on my lan? [11:24] tim__: Then use a sane mouse until a solution is found :) [11:24] kiwitinker: "ifconfig" [11:24] kiwitinker: ifconfig [11:25] bekks, there is a solutin. [11:25] Hello, I have a laptop which I want to use in clamshell style running 13.10 but for some reason the screen never turns off even when over the timeout specified. Any hints on how to resolve this? === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [11:25] tim__: Does the solution work for you? [11:25] thanks [11:26] bekks, i try [11:26] cebor: Whats "clamshell style"? [11:26] Hi. What does do %f variable? [11:26] m64py %f [11:26] !find m64py [11:26] Package/file m64py does not exist in saucy [11:27] bekks: laptop running while lid is closed [11:27] Esor: Well, the best way to find out is the documentation of m64py [11:27] constl: what version of ubuntu? [11:27] constl: ahh 13.10 [11:28] hitsujiTMO: 13.10, it was running fine on 12.04 [11:28] i tried -h and its not explained there [11:28] Esor: Whatever m64py is - I bet they ship a documentation as well. [11:29] constl: under system settings -> Power what do you have set for close lid event? [11:29] hitsujiTMO: probably some bug since if i close the lid the screen remains open and when i re-open the lid it goes for a moment black and opens again and reports an error [11:29] http://m64py.sourceforge.net/ [11:29] lol, ubuntu stucks with my 3 years old cabled usb mouse :P i thought it was the xserver :P [11:30] hitsujiTMO: It's on "Do nothing" since the other option is suspend! === Daniel is now known as Guest96700 [11:31] constl: and you want it to just turn off the screen right? [11:31] hitsujiTMO: It's the "Brightness & Lock" system settings which seems doesn't work for "Turn screen off when inactive for x minutes" [11:32] hitsujiTMO: That's right hitsujiTMO. I'm remote controlling the laptop so i dont want the monitor on === domino is now known as Guest74759 [11:33] constl: that doesn't fire when lid is closed afaik. Was chatting with someone about a similar issue like 4 months ago. He had to write an acpid script to turn off the screen on lid close and turn of the screen on lid open [11:33] <[[thufir]]> how do I install this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aztsearch/ to vuze 5.2.0.0? I had to install vuze directly from vuze.com so it's not using apt-get. [11:33] hitsujiTMO: It doesn't fire even with lid open. If it did i would just turn off the lid myself after the monitor was turned off and i would be happy :-) [11:35] constl: oooh ... ok. do you have an acpi key on your keyboard to enable/disable the screen? [11:35] hitsujiTMO: Is it possible that the system doesn't register "being inactive" since i'm remote controlling it through ssh ? [11:35] Can anyone help me? [11:35] anyone know how to solve this error? [11:35] Server's Role (logon server) conflicts with share-level security [11:36] constl: don't think so. that should be dependant on xserver input not on system activity [11:36] hi [11:37] (ubuntu 13.10), when i run menuconfig i have problems with the line drawing characters. they are not correctly displayed and so unreadable. [11:37] dane: you've a misconfigured smb.conf [11:37] how can i fix this? [11:37] <[[thufir]]> besides vuze, what do Linux users run? vuze seems to change its appearance. [11:38] [[thufir]]: for bt? transmission [11:38] <[[thufir]]> hitsujiTMO: oh, I meant for file sharing. (no amazon mp3's in canada) [11:39] hitsujiTMO: it has the standard function keys on almost all laptops. Dont think it has a "sleep monitor" button [11:39] hitsujiTMO, yeah, can i put it in paste so you can see what's wrong? i'm not sure what's wrong with it. [11:39] [[thufir]]: samba, nfs, http, ftp, torrent, etc. [11:39] [[thufir]]: yes, transmission is the standard bittorrent client these days [11:39] [[thufir]]: that or use newsgroups [11:40] <[[thufir]]> hmm. [11:40] constl: normally i'd expect a brightness up, brightness down, monitor off set of acpi keys for the monitor [11:41] dane: pastebin it and we'll have a look [11:41] Another question [11:41] hitsujiTMO: Yeap, these exist [11:41] constl: does the disable monitor button work? [11:42] hitsujiTMO, http://pastebin.com/TCAXm4bJ [11:42] I've placed a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ [11:42] damn, line drawing characters in menuconfig :-( [11:43] This script runs another script [11:43] hitsujiTMO: There is only brightness down/up, auto brightness and switch to external monitor [11:43] an .sh, script [11:43] -, [11:44] hitsujiTMO: Could it be that ubuntu 13.10 ACPI events shipped are not complete ? [11:44] dane: afiak domain logons = yes and security = user are mutually exclusive [11:44] constl: most likely changes to the driver is the cause [11:45] but when I suspend the system, I get errors in pm-suspend.log [11:45] hitsujiTMO, so what should be done? i was trying to configure samba so it wouldn't ask for passwords when i access windows 7 shares. [11:46] in the .sh script there is a synclient command [11:46] hitsujiTMO: Thanks for your help. Seems I'm better of re-installing 12.04 which seems more compatible with my old laptop. [11:46] dane: are you running on a domain? [11:47] hitsujiTMO, domain, as in DNS? [11:47] Looking for in the web with google, I've found a page [11:47] dane: from that answer i can see that you're not. set domain logons = no [11:48] constl: are you purely using it from ssh? [11:49] in this page is written: 'Applying those two solutions together yielded a working result: 1. sleeping for two seconds (the script is already processed in the background, so the resume won't take longer!) 2. running sh -c 'export -p' > env on a normal terminal and sourcing that env file before the call to synclient' [11:49] hitsujiTMO, I will increase the RAM shared by igpu [11:49] hitsujiTMO: Mostly yes, if it takes too long to do something from command i will then switch to desktop since i'm quite a novice in linux [11:50] hitsujiTMO, done. it now only says WARNING: The security=share option is deprecated === djdduty_ is now known as djdduty [11:50] also restarted samba alreadfy [11:50] dane: sounds like you simply want to disable anonymous access to the samba. dane leave it as security=user [11:53] How can I apply these methods? [11:53] hitsujiTMO: Well you won't believe it but it was a bug of gnome. After logging out and logging back with Unity the screen turned off just fine [11:54] What changes have I to do exactly? [11:54] Any ideas? [11:54] dane: see the comments in the pastebin from line 268 on if you're using home shares [11:54] constl: interesting, considering that unity sits on top of gnome so the bug should exist in both [11:54] hitsujiTMO, it is in security user, and what i want to do is to simply access windows shares without the file manager asking for passwords like in windows. [11:55] hitsujiTMO: Unity isn't a software on its own? Though that it was independent of Gnome [11:55] dane: ahh so you want complete anonymous access. ok. [11:55] dane sounds like you want to make access as insecure as in windows [11:56] constl: unity is a compiz plugin that sits on top of gnome [11:58] MonkeyDust, well, the network is password protected, so i don't see any reason for extra precautions. this computer is for my nephew, used simply for accessing his movies from the other windows computers at home. [11:58] kid's 6, by the way. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [11:58] hitsujiTMO, if that's what it's called in linux, yes. [11:59] hitsujiTMO: Interstingly enogh as you said the monitor doesn't turn off in Gnome but does work in Unity [11:59] dane add both "guest ok = yes" and "guest only = yes" anmd supply it with a guest account such as "guest account = nobody" [12:01] hitsujiTMO, added all three lines and restarted samba. still says "failed to mount windows share" [12:02] ^ [12:04] hitsujiTMO, also, only public documents can be accessed from ubuntu, shared drives and folders get the error. said drives/folderes can be accessed as a share from my windows 7 laptop. [12:04] dane ok, try switching the global security = user to security = share [12:07] hitsujiTMO, done an restarted samba. [12:07] hitsujiTMO, still doesn't work though. [12:08] dane if you don't make, then you know how well secured linux is [12:08] make it* === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [12:08] MonkeyDust: :) [12:09] MonkeyDust, i'm not so sure what you're trying to say here. [12:11] dane: can you pastebin your current smb.conf [12:12] dane also, which share are you configuring? [12:13] hitsujiTMO, http://pastebin.com/xw4XJ9Wv [12:13] also, what do you mean which? does smb conf not cover configuring how you share in the network? [12:16] dane. ahh ok. you were not putting the options in a share. the default config lists a number of example shares. looks like you need to read the manual. [12:16] Hello folks! [12:16] Hi I just typed sudo fuser -cuk /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock and my screen went dark [12:16] GeorgeJ_, greetings [12:17] How can I add a user such that one can login from lightdm? [12:17] I had a lock because apt-get upgrade was running and I had to cancel it === GeorgeJ_ is now known as GeorgeJ [12:17] hitsujiTMO, is man samba the right one or there's another? [12:18] dane: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf [12:19] hitsujiTMO, thanks. i'll look into it. [12:19] dane: as you can guess from the size of that book, samba is quite a complex server [12:20] dane: but a lot of it you can skip over, ( domain stuff, cups/printers, netbios/windbind stuff) [12:21] hitsujiTMO, yeah, indeed. though one would think there are "presets" for it like most other software, like say FFMPEG. [12:22] dane: unfortunately there are but are all secure. you require an insecure config [12:24] hitsujiTMO, okay, though i need a little explanation as to why it's insecure. how does password protecting accessing shares make it more secure when those very same shares don't have any password protection in the first place? that is, accessing the same shares from another windows computer doesn't prompt for a password. [12:28] Hi what are the tools build essential install? [12:29] dane: the default windows share model is insecure itself. granting anyone read/write access to any part of your filesystem without authentication is a bad idea. ofcourse in a simple home environment its mostly unecessary, but, for instance, with s laptop, id you acyivate a share for when you're at home, you can potentially leave that shate open for anyone to access if you're in another location [12:29] shunya_chakra: build-essential ? [12:30] shunya_chakra: or do you means what does that package install? [12:31] shunya_chakra is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [12:31] hitsujiTMO, I mean sudo apt-get install build-essential [12:31] I was reading on ubuntu form they said best way to install all the basic development tools is use this command. [12:32] shunya_chakra: if you want to know what that package exactly installs look at: apt-cache show build-essential | grep Depends [12:32] hitsujiTMO, i see. so that's what you meant. still don't see how password protection in a "client" computer helps make the "server" computer more secure. unless you mean configuring samba from linux also modifies the windows share? [12:33] dane: wait... have you installed samba on the client? [12:33] aand, the pdf's finished downloading. [12:33] thanks MonkeyDust for link [12:33] thanks hitsujiTMO I'll definatly check it [12:33] hitsujiTMO, no. as said, they're windows 7 machines. is it necessary? [12:34] hitsujiTMO, oops misread, yes, it's installed [12:34] dane: no. but that file you are configuring (smb.conf) is that on the client or server? [12:34] it's on the client. hitsujiTMO. [12:34] wait, let me explain a bit what i'm trying to do here. [12:34] dane if you can disable security, then potentially anyone can, also on a larger scale [12:34] dane ... so you've installed and been trying to configure the samba SERVER on the client machine? [12:35] uh, smb.conf is for server configuration? hitsujiTMO? [12:35] dane yup. [12:35] dane: Yes. [12:36] then how do you configure it to stop the filemanager from asking for a password (which the share is not configured to have)? [12:36] dane. remove the samba package you installed. instead install cifs-utils [12:37] dane: the server is making that request [12:37] hitsujiTMO, the server, ie the one i'm using, is that it? [12:38] dane: as in the windows machine, that you're connecting to, that is serving the share is requesting a username/password [12:39] dane: you may just need to supply it with anonymous/anonymous [12:39] hello [12:40] there is a problem about the network-manager [12:40] hitsujiTMO, okay. though why is it asking for it since it wasn't configured on it's end to have a password? the other win 7 machine can access it without it prompting for anything at all. [12:40] my NetManager always show assert failure [12:40] and i could not add a DSL connection [12:41] since i add that, the NetManager will always crash [12:41] TOM_otakux, reboot your system & try again [12:41] dane: its prob asking the windows machines for a username + password too, but they may be attempting to login as guest automatically so you don't see a dialogue [12:42] hitsujiTMO, ah, i see. can linux do that too? [12:42] also cifs-utils is already installed. [12:42] how do i configure it? [12:43] dane: i'm not sure if it can do it automatically. i've not ever had such a setup to test [12:44] hitsujiTMO, i see. [12:45] hitsujiTMO, so now that samba's out of the equation. how do i solve the "Failed to mount Windows share" error? [12:46] dane: try supplying it with a username + password of anonymous/anonymous or guest/guest [12:48] dane: other than that you'd have to sift thru the logs (both server + client) to see where its failing [12:48] same, the NetManager show "assertion failed (s_wired)" [12:49] TOM_otakux: how exactly did you configure network manager. and whats the output of: cat /etc/issue [12:50] issue just show ubuntu 13.10 \n \l [12:51] dane[*] google user profile and follow the steps carefully to resolve your problem , assumed it is a user profile things [12:51] i just add a pppoe on the network manager [12:51] and connect it [12:51] and next the net manager could not start [12:52] hitsujiTMO, well, it's not asking for passwords anymore at least. it just plain goes "failed to mount windows share". which again doesn't happen on users/public [12:53] why does my bazaar explorer have to upload 200+mb of data, for a project that is less than 17 mb large? [12:53] (pushing a commit rather) [12:53] Akiva-Mobile, bzr ? [12:53] bazhang: yah [12:54] TOM_otakux: i'd start with trying to reinstall nm, sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager [12:55] yep, i have tried, still crash. [12:55] i decide to remove the network-manager and plasma-nm [12:56] there a log from the user that have the same problem [12:56] Dec 27 12:44:46 maxii-Lenovo NetworkManager[2254]: NetworkManager (version 0.9.8.0) is starting...

[13:02] Hiyas all [13:02] TOM_otakux: i'd see nothing there that would cause a crash. i suggest opening a bug report [13:04] hitsujiTMO, so how do i fix "cannot access windows share"? [13:05] dane: check the logs, both server and client for a more verbose error report [13:05] actually that error show is weird, that is show assertion failed [13:06] and crash at pppoe stage 1 [13:08] hitsujiTMO, where are the logs in win 7 and linux? sorry, i don't really delve into network much... [13:09] dane win 7 has the event logs. in administrative tools iirc. ubuntu logs are in /var/log most likely cifs logs to syslog === jack is now known as Guest2601 [13:10] hitsujiTMO, thanks, will check there. [13:18] join #ubuntu [13:18] hi [13:18] anyone here? [13:18] analyser0013, greetings [13:18] !anyone | analyser0013 [13:18] analyser0013: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [13:18] i want to use my laptop internet as a hotspot for my android device [13:19] !ics [13:19] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [13:26] hitsujiTMO, checked the ones in var... it doesn't log the error in the user i tried to access. looked elsewhere and there's no cifs log and syslog didn't have any about it. [13:27] hitsujiTMO, also, i forgot to mention the shared folders have $ signs, example, there's a G and a G$ share. the $ share prompts for a password. [13:28] hitsujiTMO, the G share doesn't prompt and immediately says cannot mount windows share. [13:28] What are some high-end slates/tablets, that I can install ubuntu/ubuntu studio on (such as x86 tablets) Is this website accurate (http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/operating-systems/install-linux-on-your-x86-tablet-five-distros-to-choose-from-1162825)? I want to be able to have tablet/slate functionality and to be a desktop all in one. Would any windows 8 tablet work? [13:29] maxxsire better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:30] hitsujiTMO, if it helps, i once tried to access my own computer by giving my password and username >>of my computer<< when it prompts and it granted me full read/write access. [13:30] thanks and sorry [13:30] * full read write access to my share. [13:30] maxxsire, no need to be sorry [13:36] maxxsire, slate/tablet/laptops hybrids are freaky and perform none of their stated design goals very well. consider your options. perhaps a laptop and an ubuntu pad compatible such as the nexus 10? [13:38] hello, I'm using 12.10 & trying to upgrade to 13.04 & the upgrade utility is showing 13.10, which is not actually going to work without primarily upgrading to 13.04. Does anybody have any suggestions? [13:39] caring_ish, easy. torrent the 13.10 iso and install it. [13:39] I would prefer to upgrade so I can preserve all my software [13:40] caring_ish, then you won't be upgrading... since you skipped 13.04 you cannot live update to 13.10. [13:40] like I said, I am in the necessity to upgrade to 13.04 first [13:44] caring_ish, update manager should show the next Ubuntu version, check your sources [13:46] BluesKaj, I have corrected even the sources.list file. All the sources are up to date with the Quatal reference while the old resources are removed === LjL is now known as LjL-Away [13:48] I need help with minidlna [13:50] I have created different folders for different series, but on my TV all the series are in the same folder called "Videos", I want to seperate them, how do I do this? [13:51] caring_ish, upgrading can be done over the internet, but make sure you have the "upgrade LTS only" option turned off in the update manager first , then in the terminal . sudo do-release-upgrade , to upgrade to 13.04 [13:53] BluesKaj, I'll try that. Gracias for the suggestion :) [13:53] caring_ish, also remove any ppas in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [13:54] BluesKaj, OK I'm officially confused. I thought that you could only upgrade to the current release? [13:54] caring_ish, sorry for my bad intel. [13:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MiniDLNA seen this yet adas ? [13:56] cfhowlett, the next OS in the version list will be upgraded as long as it's still officially supported [13:56] BluesKaj, sonofa...! OK, good to know. [13:57] * cfhowlett slaps self for giving/thinking bad advice all this time. [13:57] the PPA are disabled by default iirc [13:58] bazhang: yes, but I cant find the solution there [13:58] hello can anyone help me my skype sound doesnt work and im on 13.10 ubuntu [13:58] bazhang, yes , but it's always good to remove for safety's sake [13:58] unity [13:59] BluesKaj, I'm actually not seeing an option for "upgrade LTS only" within the update manager [13:59] cameron_ system settings > sound > applications === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [14:00] caring_ish, yes I should have known that since there is no official LTS release othger than 12.04 :) [14:05] Greetings. Can boot be a fat32 partition? I want to have boot and efi to share one partition [14:05] hello i try to install gt from this page https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-12-04 after finishing it when i write git --version it says No such file or directory [14:06] motaka2: why are you using random web pages [14:06] ikonia: so what should I do ? [14:06] motaka2: that guide is a disgrace [14:07] motaka2: have you looked at the official ubuntu documentation ? [14:07] ikonia: no, where should I checkup ? [14:07] for installing the newest version of git [14:07] motaka2: https://help.ubuntu.com https:/wiki.ubuntu.com [14:07] hello [14:08] ikonia: no these two say sudo apt-get git which installs an old version. I need a new version [14:08] hello [14:08] motaka2: I doubt very much you "need" a new version [14:08] what are alternatives to Unity GUI? [14:08] motaka2: more so if you are unable to understand why git --version gives you "command not found" errors [14:08] !notunity | bkuberek [14:08] bkuberek: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, 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. [14:09] ikonia: For shure I need it. I f i didnt i would have used the current one [14:09] motaka2: why do you "need" it [14:09] bazhang: thanks [14:09] cause github needs me to install a newer version [14:09] motaka2: no it doesn't [14:09] motaka2: it's backward compatible [14:09] installing git don't work? [14:09] ikonia: dont say stupid things, I know it does [14:10] read the git book become a master [14:10] motaka2: nothing stupid about it, I'm syncing from git hub just fine === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [14:10] maybe you can sudo apt-get update === ubuntu is now known as nictrasavios [14:13] bhldev: no it doesnt work [14:14] apt-get update will do nothing [14:14] motaka2: I'd focus on why you think you can't use the ubuntu packaged version of git - rather than following poor guides [14:14] ikonia: I want the newest version. I want 1.85.2. the newest [14:15] motaka2: why ? [14:15] the reason is personal [14:15] motaka2: more than likely its that you don't know what you're doing. Most of us here use github in one form or another [14:15] motaka2: now you're just making stuff up, as a minute ago you said it was becuase you NEEDED it to work with git hub, now it's just "persona" [14:15] Is there any real reason to use GPT (With UEFI) over MBR (With BIOS emulation)? I'm having a lot of troubles installing Windows and Ubuntu together on a UEFI system and I'm considering just going legacy mode. [14:15] motaka2: it sounds like you have no reason to use it and are either a.) chasing a version number b.) trying to create a problem [14:15] ikonia: I need it to push on git hub [14:15] I have strange freeze action, i see in logs this new lines http://pastebin.com/786uYBDN [14:16] motaka2: you can do that just fine with the ubuntu packaged version [14:16] I have nvidia 560ti gtx [14:16] the git hub page is telling me my git version is not up to date. [14:16] motaka2: which page ? [14:16] motaka2: (can you paste the link please) === liam_ is now known as Guest14415 [14:17] ikonia: lemme find it again [14:17] motaka2: the git page can't see what version of git you're using [14:17] motaka2: just actual do a "git push" instead of reading - you'll find it works just fine [14:18] motaka2 check your aliases, try which git [14:18] bhldev: do you have any reason you're just saying these random things ? [14:18] might just have a corrupted path [14:18] bhldev: if the command "git" is not found "which" won't work [14:20] ikonia, try "type", its a shell builtin. [14:20] ikonia: I get this error Received HTTP code 501 from proxy after CONNECT [14:20] nictrasavios: which do I need to use "type" === JohnH is now known as Anna [14:21] motaka2: ok - so that suggests your proxy is causing a problem [14:21] ikanobori, If you do "type git", it will tell you if git is found without which. [14:21] nictrasavios: what are you talking about ? [14:22] * ObrienDave lurks and ROFL [14:22] ikonia, I seen him suggest which, and you turn it down, saying that if one dosen't work the other won't. He mentioned a corrupted path, so I was attempting to determine if that was the case without external binaries. [14:22] nictrasavios: I'd suggest reading the back scroll [14:22] ikonia, I don't exactly have any. Recently joined, only trying to help while I wait for help. [14:23] nictrasavios: the problem is a user has blindly done a "sudo make install" type setup on git with either a.) failed b.) put it into /usr/local - however the real problem is he didn't need to do that as the problem appears to be with his proxy server rather than git [14:24] My nemesis. [14:24] and he wants to blame it on the git version he's using [14:24] We meet once more. [14:24] ikonia, Youch. "make remove" or "make uninstall"? Then reset all the proxy configs to default. After that, follow a guide. [14:24] ikanobori, hi [14:24] Hey bazhang. [14:24] That's a long time ago! [14:24] which git could have worked if it was an alias [14:24] bhldev: no - it wouldn't [14:25] nictrasavios: more background is needed, the reason he' in a mess is a.) lack of understanding b.) following a terrible guide [14:25] bhldev: "type" would tell you if it's an alias, "which" doesn't [14:25] ikonia, Then he dose not need to host a proxy server. If he needed one, he would have the knowledge to make one. If he is setting it up for another reason, then use one that already exists. [14:25] the ammount of blind help that is going on is just going to cause more problems then add value [14:26] nictrasavios: who says he's hosting one ? [14:26] ikonia, Why else would he need to set one up? [14:26] nictrasavios: who said he's setting up a proxy serve r/ [14:26] nictrasavios: again - you need to have seen the back scroll [14:26] ikonia, You said "His proxy server". [14:27] nictrasavios: yes, a proxy server he's using, it could be his personal one, the one he's behind at work/school/friends house [14:27] * ObrienDave thinks people need to let ikonia fix the issue FIRST [14:27] I'm out, someone else can blindly help this guy to his doom [14:27] ikonia, I see. I'l guessing you don't mean a problem with the server itself, rather how he is accessing it. [14:28] ikonia, I'll give it a shot. Haha. [14:28] nictrasavios: I don't find it funny that you'd just making random assumptions and helping/advising the guy with bad information [14:29] ikonia, Not random. I followed your verbal trajectories and attempted to use induction. And, I never once directed anything to him. only to you. [14:31] ikonia, Therefore, I don't find it funny that *YOU* make random assumptions and incorrectly criticize me without justification. [14:31] nictrasavios: your advise was poor and based on asssumption the user is watching it [14:31] nictrasavios: your advise was poor and based on asssumption the user is watching it [14:31] oops, sorry [14:32] * hitsujiTMO grabs the popcorn [14:32] nictrasavios: no, I don't mean "how he's accessing it" - again, stop assuming, I'd say "how he's accessing it" it looks like the proxy server does not have the ability to forward the type of requests he wants over http - which looking at what he's trying to do with git - makes sense. [14:32] ikonia, Don't speak for him. You don't know what he was doing. , second, I'm not exactly get paid to help am I? So sorry if I don't have the proper training. [14:33] I do know what he's doing - as I've just spent time talking to him to understand the problem [14:33] ikonia, So then why dosen't he use a different one? I assume that because I thought someone so full of themselves would have been smart enough to tell him to use another. [14:33] nictrasavios, ROFL. you, sir, jumped into the middle of the conversation and tried to "correct" it without complete knowledge of the situation. [14:33] ObrienDave, And? Is there something wrong with that? Better something than nothing. [14:33] a beer anyone? [14:33] please MonkeyDust [14:34] *more popcorn* [14:34] nictrasavios: again "use a different proxy server" you know nothing about it - is he in work ? can he just install a "new" proxy server ? is he in school is that possible ? does he have the knowledge, does he need a proxy server - all stuff you've just over looked before saying blindly "install a new proxy" [14:34] MonkeyDust, please [14:34] ladies, pls take it to -offtopic [14:34] MonkeyDust: bit early for a beer, but thanks [14:34] ikonia, You said he was not making his own server, so what could you possibly mean by "install another"? He just changes the damn ip and port. [14:35] nictrasavios: what are you talking about "changed his ip and port" [14:35] ikonia, You also gave the impression that he wasn't going to listen to "you don't need one" with your raving about how he was going down a path of doom. [14:35] nictrasavios: I said no such thing about him not listening, the path of doom was the one you and others where blindly taking him down [14:35] ikonia, You said he was *using* not installing a proxy, therefore he is accessing someone elses proxy. Correct? This is what you told me,. [14:36] nictrasavios: he is accessing a proxy that may / may not be under his control, based on the expeirence level, I'd guess not under his control, but this has not been confirmed yet [14:36] ikonia, So, you're busy telling me not to assume? You can't be explicit about what you're saying. [14:36] * hitsujiTMO passes the popcorn [14:36] *better than a movie* [14:36] nictrasavios: I've just been very expclit, what part have I not made clear ? [14:36] ObrienDave: you know the wrong movies [14:36] lol [14:36] llutz, ;P [14:37] ikonia, You said he was using a proxy, yet then refered to installing a new one. You said " I'm out, someone else can blindly help this guy to his doom", implying he was on a path of doom and wouldn't listen. [14:38] nictrasavios: I'll leave you to it, I've carried this on more than I should [14:38] ikonia, I can give more examples but honestly, you're a 13 year old with a keyboard, its like winning the special olympics because I still feel retarded. [14:38] He said he's using a proxy which doesn't support the HTTP methods git wants. [14:38] ikanobori: you seemed to have grasped that shockingly easy, I'm glad it wasn't confusing [14:40] How is life in the land of almost the same nickname ikonia? [14:41] awww, darn, i missed the big send off ;P [14:42] I have a question about installing programs. I am trying to install two programs that are exe formate. I have tried to use the wine program but not having much luck. Any ideas? [14:42] shstor, those would be windows programs. not supported here [14:43] shstor, check the wine database [14:43] !wine [14:43] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [14:43] I know.

[14:43] ^^^^^ shstor [14:44] shstor: the easiest thing to do would be using a virtual machine [14:45] hitsujiTMO, but why he is trying to install .exe? [14:45] dunno, he hasen't told us yet [14:45] *hasn't [14:45] hi, i just updated ubuntu, and now my keyboard wont type my regional characters (swedish characters), any clue as to how to fix this? [14:45] ObrienDave, ok :), shstor why are you trying to install .exe on linux? [14:46] how i can use alt+tab when use drag and drop under ubuntu 12.04? [14:46] rinti: ubuntu desktop or server? [14:46] under 13.10 it was not a problem. [14:46] rinti: Are you using Unity? [14:46] desktop, 13.10 [14:46] rinti: go into keyboard in settings [14:46] it's set to swedish layout, but my regional keys wont work [14:47] rinti: try changing it to something else and then back again [14:47] rinti, did you reboot/relog after changing?

Everything is alright, but when the progress gets to about 30% the ui window blocks. Values are still received by the program, but the UI isn't responsive. Can anybody help me with that? Th [16:02] ank you ^^ [16:02] hi [16:03] (process output is checked every n milliseconds via a Gobject timer which goes off and invokes a callback function) [16:03] Wayward_Vagabond: whats output of: sudo service tty2 status [16:04] hitsujiTMO: great. thanks.

[16:07] shstor............ you are looking for a windows iso? [16:07] shstor that would be a question for ##windows, i guess [16:07] Lorra: there's probably a better channel where's you'd be more likely to get a response to that question, a programming channel. maybe there's a #gnome channel, or #c, or ##c++ channel. something like that [16:07] ok [16:08] yes. we don't do windows. [16:08] thanks [16:08] me neither it sucks [16:08] :) [16:09] hitsujiTMO, i know it's been an hour or so but i'd just like to mention that i've solved the "unable to mount windows share problem" thanks to imghost (dude PMed me). turns out the problem was on windows end. you had to add permission to "user" "Everyone" under security in the right click menu in explorer) and now it can mount the offending shares i want to access. just wanted to say thanks even though we were rather off-tangent in trying to solve it. also [16:09] , so this one shows up in the logs. :) [16:09] dane999 you were unable to mount a windows share on an ubuntu system? [16:09] dane999: nice. and nice of imghost. congrats! [16:10] dane999: sweet, at least you got sorted [16:10] hitsujiTMO: i meant using tools like Tor etc, I can use it on google chrome or firefox, but when i want to wget something from terminal it doesnt use proxy and google code is closed to iran [16:10] join #gnome [16:10] gmachine_24, yeah. [16:11] I ask because I have the reverse problem: trouble mounting an ubuntu share (samba) on windows 7. only way I found to do it was to map the drive. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [16:11] motaka2: you can use a vpn for that. but that vpn needs to be located in an unrestricted country [16:12] motaka2, keep in mind that, although vpns claim to be secure, they are not. they all keep records, even if they say they don't. some of the anonymous gang (and others) were busted when a british vpn which had promised security handed over its records after receiving a subpoena. vpns are not what they claim. [16:13] gmachine_24, do you have the "shared folders" application? with that one you can just add any folder and it will be visible on windows. [16:13] well at least it was THAT easy on my end. [16:13] dane999 I don't know anything about the shared folders application. this is for windows 7? [16:13] gmachine_24: or ... you can install your own on you own vps like a normal person [16:13] gmachine_24, no, linux [16:14] not sure what's it's actually called. [16:14] dane999, no, I didn't know about that. I will check it out. thanks. [16:14] hitsujiTMO: but that will not work for mr motaka [16:14] <_5andr0> i got ubuntu desktop and just installed open-ssh and changed the config to use "PasswordAuthentication yes" but putty is still freezing after entering username and not asking for a password. how can i fix this? [16:14] So, any idea why ctrl + alt + f2 isn't working? All the keys are functioning, and tty2 is running [16:14] hitsujiTMO: you cannot trust vpn on vps because you own/control the data-center the vps runs in [16:14] because you don't own* [16:15] what llutz said [16:15] llutz: well, ok, true. [16:15] gmachine_24, ah, it's shares-admin [16:15] dane999 - great. thanks. [16:16] Wayward_Vagabond: Are the tty processes actually running?

[16:17] dane999 ok...... will look into it [16:17] WhatIsTheMatrix, : SEC [16:17] gmachine_24, but basically you try adding your say, "downloads" folder and see if it's visible in windows [16:17] how to change repository download server from terminal ? [16:17] jhutchins: Yes, tty2 is running [16:18] dane999 actually mapping the drives has worked out fine and been very fast [16:18] Wayward_Vagabond: In a terminal, what does ps ax | grep tty show? [16:18] gmachine_24, so you simply can't see shares in windows? [16:18] demon^eye: is the exact name of the package 'preload'?

[16:20] Wayward_Vagabond wild thought: firstly, does the command 'tasks' show something? [16:20] jhutchins: I'm using the left one of each [16:20] No command 'tasks' found, did you mean: [16:21] Wayward_Vagabond forget that.... did you use ctrl-z ? [16:21] <_5andr0> https://github.com/googlecreativelab/coder/blob/master/raspbian-addons/etc/ssh/sshd_config that's the except same config i got except for no # before PasswordAuthentication yes. when i installed ubuntu i enabled auto login. could that cause the problem? [16:21] dane999, but Ubuntu machines see all the Windows shares and other Ubuntu shares........... and Windows machines see each other ... so.... I don't know. I got tired of spending so many hours getting nowhere. [16:21] Wayward_Vagabond: A clear alternative would be to try various other combinations.

I wanna change it from archive.ubuntu.com to mirror.cse.iitk.ac.in from terminal [16:21] Wayward_Vagabond: Also, teset F1-F6 [16:21] gmachine_24, maybe you're looking at homegroup rather than network?

[16:28] FranktheTank: might need to be specific about just what tools you mean. you could do the command 'dpkg -L eclipse', but that might not be what you are looking for, as eclipse uses tools that are installed by other packages, such as 'gcc' as one example [16:28] My MBA fn keys aren't doing anything in 13.10.

[17:25] this happens usually on desktop wifi addapters [17:26] I am at the seccond laptop and all worked for me [17:26] anyway [17:26] I have a small problem too [17:27] hi all, i am using ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS and anyone who is using 3g modem to connect to internet, i have huawei 303u modem and on linux mobile partner 21 it is showing E173 and i am not able to do calls from dashboard, anybody who get success in making calls from modem in ubuntu [17:28] I would like to know if there is a command or something to show the touchpad blocked/enabled indicator [17:28] it is showing it is calling and time starts, but no sound after dialing, otherwise laptop sound is working properly [17:28] it shows incoming calls but after picking up, no sound again [17:29] on windows same modem is working very well, [17:29] you probably need to do a lot of reasearch for that [17:29] why Huawei like company is not thinking about linux community, they should also provide latest drivers to us also [17:30] probably there's noone's fault here [17:30] noone on this channel [17:30] there are not only problems with you huaweii but also with nvidia optimus [17:31] In India, Huawei , Micromax are major vendor, micromax even does not provide drivers for linux [17:32] cyberalex4lifethere is a touchpad indicator if it helps [17:32] i purchased Huawei , because micromax modem suddenly got dead and i had to purchase a new one === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [17:33] there are some problems with touchpad indicators on ubuntu 13.10 and on ubuntu 13.10 gnome [17:33] https://launchpad.net/touchpad-indicator cyberalex4life [17:34] i did lot of google, but no success , it is showing as E173 but my modem is E303u, it means, there is some problems with drivers [17:34] the problem is that on gnome-shell the indicator can't shut down touchpad properly [17:34] I resumed from a locked screen (due to afk) and now my Empathy chat window is greyed out when I select it -- when it greys out, does that mean it's unresponsive? [17:34] Is that the Ubuntu feature, to grey out a window to indicate a lack of responsivity? [17:34] demophobia: Is it responding? [17:35] Well, no ... but then when I shift to a different window, it un-greys ... and then greys back ... almost like it's flashing with a slow periodicity [17:35] to properly block touchpad you have to use a gsettings twice, [17:35] run at 1 sec difference [17:35] this is how it works for me [17:36] well the simplest solution is: sudo apt-get install --reinstall empathy [17:36] after closing it [17:37] use pidgin, instead of empathy demophobia [17:37] Is it better to use x32 bit or x64 bit. I recently installed ubuntu under an old image and was considering replacing it. [17:37] rosenthal, how much RAM do you have? [17:37] ObrienDave 4GB [17:38] if this doesn't work you may try to delete your user settings folder [17:38] ObrienDave cpu speed 3.6ghz [17:38] I can't seem to find it though [17:38] use 64 bit [17:38] rosenthal, you could use either. i recommend 64bit [17:38] kkkkk, shouldn't I use the default software until it becomes inadequate? why pidgin > empathy? [17:39] rosenthal: unless you have like ... 256mb ram, use 64bit [17:39] demophobia: many times default softwares sucks, [17:39] demophobia: use pidgin it is much better, and stable than empathy [17:40] try after a year or two, perhaps it will be improved [17:40] I'm not going to recover from a squashfs error, am I?

My desktop bkgd jad gone grey... Tried to launch Thunar and I got these SQUASHFS errors [17:44] Also, one more thing while im here, is it worth it to upgrade to the 3.04/3.10 versions of linux? [17:45] ubuntu [17:45] ornj squashfs is part of the live cd, iirc [17:45] ornj: this from a live cd/usb? [17:45] Yes [17:46] ornj: most likely the image has become corrupt. [17:46] Tried to Alt-Ctrl-F5 to a different session... Now I have the Xorg arrow superimposed over the error msgs :P [17:46] rosenthal: as in upgrade ubuntu 13.04 -> 13.10? [17:46] i think many linux users just use ethernet , many of them doesn't use wifi or modems, which are used by normal persons in India, ethernets plans are costly than wireless plans and they allow us mobility, prepaid, changing of providers and technology is based on mobile worlds, bluetooth also have issues with ubuntu, such kind of less hardware support can only suit servers, where a specific hardwware is used and a specific linux exist for it [17:47] hitsujiTMO: I have 12.04 LTS [17:47] How do I install fonts (e.g. http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html ) in Ubuntu?

Am fairly sure the liveUSB will boot fine again. [17:49] ikonia: i have a wireless modem E303u, it is not working properly in linux [17:49] MonkeyDust are there any significant changes? [17:49] rosenthal the next lts will soon emerge, 14.04 [17:49] kkkkk: ok, so ask for help stating the problem clearly and see if someone will help you rather than telling the story of how you think linux should work [17:49] Any way to restart Xorg or if this boot is fundamentally b0rked. [17:49] it supports voice calls, in windows it is working like a charm, but on ubuntu it is not working, i also downloaded mobile partner, banged my head for 3 days, calling is not working [17:49] MonkeyDust What will it have in it? [17:50] kkkkk: does the device have linux support ? [17:50] rosenthal: if you mean ubuntu upgrade, then stick with lts. best to go lts -> lts. if you mean kernel upgrade then you only need to do a kernel upgrade of you need specific support from a later kernel. so its unlikely that you will gain any benefit from such an upgrade [17:50] it shows dialing, time starts, but no sound, it shows incoming calls on dashboard , but no sound [17:50] demophobia: fonts-inconsolata should be in your repos [17:50] yes, device has linux support [17:50] kkkkk: See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2008275 [17:50] i have drivers for that [17:50] rosenthal not sure, guess it's too soon to say [17:50] ornj: you could restart the lightdm service [17:50] too early* [17:51] default drivers given in modem itself, ozerocd feature i think, something like that [17:51] TJ- let me see [17:51] hitsujiTMO MonkeyDust Thanks, You give much help!

I ran "update-rc.d name defaults" along with "update-rc.d name enable". [18:30] TJ-: The script is already there, it works fine on manual invocation, and even using update-rc.d doesnt change the fact that it isnt executed. [18:31] bekks: The script is executable? Does it have a shebang line? Is it making use of bash constructs but using sh (dash) ? [18:32] bekks is it an upstart or sysv service? [18:32] TJ-: Yes. Yes. No. sysv. [18:32] bekks: Have you added debug printing to a log-file to track where it gets to if it is partially exectuted? [18:32] hitsujiTMO, found the recovery mode, now the vnc console shows a prompt with (initramfs), what can I do with it?

[18:33] I dont have the / key ! lol [18:33] but with mount it said cant reat /etc/fstab [18:34] ok, cd /etc worked [18:34] bekks: Does it depend on another service that hasn't started at that point?

[19:04] mbroeker i know how to open on terminal, but i would like to open via gui because on debian works [19:04] zh1: it depends on what exactly it is. might be missing a lib or anything. run in a terminal for a more verbose output [19:04] trisquel: what hitsujiTMO said.. is pretty much what i was asking as well ;-) [19:04] aFeijo: mkdir /mnt/root [19:05] ok [19:05] aFeijo: mount /dev/vda /mnt/root [19:05] done [19:05] aFeijo: vi /mnt/root/etc/fstab [19:05] i dont know what debian uses but it open right at start on ubuntu no, is it because of the file?

[19:11] hitsujiTMO, I did try that, it show an error loading libinfo.so [19:11] libtinfo.so [19:11] mikodo: Manual mounts, including /etc/fstab, should never go to /media since /media is used by the automounter.

[19:13] whatisthematrix: ok [19:13] MonkeyDust: yes, wireless hp all-in-one, so scanner/printer/fax [19:13] chroot failed [19:13] really? grr [19:14] i can scan by going to the IP from my browser [19:14] but vi opened!!!

[20:26] LMAO since opera is one of the oldest browsers in existance, i'd say all other browsers are a fork of opera [20:26] it doesn't wokr like that, ObrienDave [20:27] that's like saying BF3 is a fork of Doom or Quake [20:27] the term "fork" is valid if they use the same, or similar codebases...

[20:42] dan64, usually extra packages for building [20:43] Hello! I have a question about Motorola phones and the MTP protocol [20:43] syeekick: I would assume this is what you're looking for: https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/serverguide/network-configuration.html <<< the Ubuntu Server version of the ethernet plumbing guide. [20:44] syeekick: It also shows you how to make the changes persistent. [20:44] ObrienDave, thanks. What's the difference between the lib and non-lib (e.g., ncurses-base versus libncurses5)? The way you describe dev versus non-dev also sounds like it could be a difference between lib and non-lib) [20:45] dan64, not sure on that, but could be. mostly files that start with lib are used by other packages to run [20:46] The reason I'm asking is because when I build software and am missing a library, I never know which packages to install. I usually can get it working and proceed, but I'd like to know the difference between the base package, the lib package, and the lib-dev package. [20:47] dan64, sorry, that is way beyond my area of expertise [20:49] dan64, -dev packages contain the c header files and libraries which are not stripped. -base packages contain data files and not libraries, normal -lib packages contain stripped libraries without debug support built in [20:49] ObrienDave, I think your answer helped. Thanks. My takeaway is that the base package is for running the package, the lib package is for software that has already been compiled against that library to work, and the lib-dev is necessary for compiling software against some library.

[21:11] and my machine is 64bit [21:12] however, curl is readily available and pretty easy to use [21:12] micros: If you use IP-address based access-control it should be safe enough [21:12] tj - from experience, what route would you take? use the existing sftp and put a private key in some keystore on an insecure target, or just allow plain ftp for this particular user. there download itself doesnt need to be secured [21:13] tj - ip based control isnt possible. there will be numerous clients outside of our control. even if done manually with a pc client / browser, i dont really see an issue [21:13] Sia-, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg-video-abi-11 [21:13] davidrsmorris : can u provide solution for this .It's midnight 3 here [21:13] Hello!

[22:49] bobptz: Alsom some of these may be of help: https://www.google.com/search?q=grub+rescue [22:50] How can I set up my laptop to that it bridges a connection between my wifi and it's ethernet port? [22:50] !router [22:50] Wiz_KeeD, still? hasn't it been like a month that you've been trying to fix this?? [22:50] hmm. [22:50] bekks: What are you looking for? [22:50] jhutchins: The ubottu factoid for "how to set up a router". [22:51] jhutchins: Thats what azusa is actually looking for. [22:51] !ics [22:51] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [22:51] ObrienDave, that was a different laptop and it was a broadcom dirver issue, now it worked almost great until...it doesn't work anymore.. [22:52] Wiz_KeeD: Hardware fails. [22:52] jhutchins, that's the only explanation? :( [22:54] Wiz_KeeD, some laptops have a FN key as wireless switch [22:55] OerHeks, yeah I use that and it just jumps in and out of airplane mode [22:56] Wiz_KeeD, oke, if that does not solve any, are you outside USA and driver is set to USA 12 channels+ ? [22:58] Wiz_KeeD: The usual tools, lspci, lsusb, dmesg. [22:58] jhutchins, let me run them [22:58] OerHeks, Europe - Romania [23:02] 0_o [23:04] hello [23:04] what can be the reason that "mdadm --detail --scan" works fine, but if chroot to the debootstrap system it says that it cannot open /dev/md/1 which should be the boot partition [23:04] question does [23:04] UUID=24CC71A948EE2189 /media/small lotus ntfs defaults 0 0 [23:04] how many connections can sftp/ssh support versus ftp? in ftp, there needs to be a range of potential pasv translation ports, does sftp have the same requirement or do you only need to open one port in the firewall, unlike ftp that needs 20, 21, and maybe 1000-2000 or so [23:05] im putting that in my fstab i got a error on boot. Does the space between "small lotus" matter? [23:05] ramborocks: yes, it matters. Escape it. [23:05] ramborocks: spaces in filenames are a generally poor idea [23:05] what do you mean escape it? [23:06] just leave blank? [23:06] ramborocks: No. Escape it: /media/small\ lotus [23:06] or better yet, get rid of the space altogether [23:06] ahh! [23:06] yeah i just looked and the dir i made is just small [23:07] because it took out the space :) [23:07] why wont rhythmbox read my music? [23:07] root is the owner of all the music files. but i havae permissions set to allow others to read [23:08] !ops | Guest15426 [23:08] Guest15426: Help! Channel emergency!

I have Win7/Ubuntu dualboot. I booted up Win7, it asked to recover some files, I let it, & it ran CHKDSK before booting. Next time I booted Ubuntu, I was greeted by the grub cli - weird because I'd never had to boot from grub before. So I started looking for vmlinuz in all the partitions but there was no /boot folder anywhere. Back in Win, I checked partitions & apparently it had overwritten the Ubuntu config, made it a Recovery [23:30] Hi. Does anybody know how to assign a reload command (which is normally under F5) to another key? [23:33] Any package maintainers here who would be able to lend a hand to somebody familiar with RPM but completely lost with uupdate and quilt? [23:34] I want to put a newer release (2.42.3) of libsoup in a PPA, but uupdate just seems to violently vomit symlinks all over my working directory instead of doing as documented [23:37] sup homies [23:38] nawb: Your description appears to be incomplete. Most third-party OEM recovery utilities will destroy linux partitions, but the utilities within Windows itself will not. [23:39] is there any way to add all of the ubuntu repos to kali linux [23:39] !kali [23:39] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [23:41] jhutchins: I could be wrong to blame Windows then. However the problem has only started happening after I let it do startup repair. The partition that I used as Ubuntu is now called "Recovery partition" in windows' disk manager. [23:42] is thre a irc just for chatting? [23:42] carolos, #ubuntu-offtopic [23:44] nawb: I would assume that your Linux installation is gone. What's in the recovery partition? [23:45] Are there any package maintainers around? [23:45] carolos: There are many. freenode and oftc are oriented toward software support. undernet.org is oriented to more social channels. There are several dozen networks. [23:45] lukecarrier: have you asked in #ubuntu-packaging ? [23:45] glitsj16, I have not, thanks [23:46] Hi. Does anybody know what command sits under the F5 (refresh) key? I want to use it on a different button but have no idea what it's called... [23:47] naryfa: It depends entirely what software is in the foreground when you press the key. [23:47] naryfa: It sounds like you're referring to the behavior of most browsers. [23:47] help [23:48] naryfa: Gnome will allow you to map something else to it, doing so will probably break the function in the browser(s).

I still go to the command line. Here is the file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6659797/ [23:49] jhutchins: hmmm, it kind of makes sense what you say. I've got KDE here. This keyboard has hotkeys, but STOP, REFRESH, BACK and FORWARD don't seem to work. [23:49] jhutchins: I figured if I remap them, they'll work but I guess that's not that easy [23:49] naryfa: You can find what keycodes they send with the xeval program. Keyboards use so many different mappings it's hard to find standardized drivers for them. [23:50] jhutchins: okay, thank you very much [23:51] guys, I did go through the BOOT-REPAIR process but nothing changed. I still go to the command line. Here is the file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6659797/ [23:51] bobptz; run rm -rf / [23:51] it works. [23:51] I tried it out. === sysadmin is now known as Guest93348 [23:52] bobptz, Is sdb the first HD read in the bios? [23:52] In console mode (e.g. accessed thru Ctrl + Alt + F5), how do you scroll up to view previous output after the command already executed? [23:52] it is a 320 gb disk that boots, but I do not know what sdb is [23:53] Nale, what does this do? rm -rf / [23:53] bobptz, sda is the first HD in your system. sdb is the second/external HD [23:53] bobptz; it fixes your stuff. [23:53] !danger [23:53] bobptz, You have two HD's your windows and ubuntu installs are on that drive, it should be in the bios the first read to boot. [23:53] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [23:53] bobptz; run that command in a terminal. [23:53] bobptz, DO NOT DO THAT [23:53] bekks; stop threatening the kid, jeez. [23:53] bobptz; these guys are just tryna discourage you.
