My upgrade seems to be stuck at "Processing triggers for man-db"... Is it normal to sit at this step for a really long time? How long should I wait? Is my installation hosed now? [01:58] shreezbot I would have stayed on 12.04 until 14.04 came out.. [01:59] Yea, I have a history of making bad decisions... [02:00] shreezbot, make sure no popups are hiding on the screen. [02:00] shreezbot: No it isn't normal... but before you do something drastic, open a terminal and check the log files being written by the upgrade process "ls -latr /var/log/dist-upgrade" for clues as to where it has got stuck === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [02:05] shreezbot, just wait a little bit more [02:07] I can't seem to get lshw to output any information.... more exactly... it prints "PCI (sysfs)" and that's it.

[02:17] TJ-: I tried -class ... makes no difference with or without [02:19] apb1963: Are the pciid data files installed? [02:19] TJ-: no idea [02:19] TJ-: how can I tell? [02:19] apb1963: This might help give you a clue: "strace -o /tmp/lshw.log -f lshw" and then review the log-file from the last entries backwards [02:21] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6671271/ [02:23] I see two interesting lines: ioctl(2, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 [02:23] and...

I typically wait about 10 seconds or so... maybe a little more. [02:24] apb1963: I'm comparing the log file with one generate here .... yours ends just after its finished reading the device descriptions... I see the exact same entries in my log-file... but yours stops just where mine goes on to start scanning the hardware nodes [02:25] apb1963: More time :) [02:25] how long? [02:25] apb1963: Hmmm ... 30 seconds? And run it with that 'strace' command again so we can review what it was doing [02:26] ok, i'm running it... let me know when you feel it's been long enough :) [02:26] Hmm. I think it may be working... I was just impatient.... and/or something else knocked it loose === Mars is now known as Guest23232 [02:27] apb1963: it just completed its output, here [02:27] yah, I just didn't give it long enough.

[02:49] yes [02:49] the rule i posted works but it does it for all ip addresses [02:54] Neytiri: you prob need to specify the external address with -d [02:55] Neytiri: this might be of help http://thejimmahknows.com/nat-dynamic-nat-nat-overloadingmasquerade-with-iptables/ [02:57] i'll try that === _gypsy_ is now known as zz__gypsy_ === Mars is now known as Guest14306 === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [03:28] how can i convert a pdf to ascii on ubuntu?

[04:47] daniko_, greetings [04:50] What's the difference between "apt-get install grub-pc linux-image" and "grub-install /dev/sdc && grub-install –recheck /dev/sdc && update-grub" ?? [04:51] hi for some reason I just can not get my screen to stop dimming after a certain period of time. I'm running 12.04 with cinnamon as the DE. [04:51] close [04:52] tried looking in dconf-editor and using the gui options to disable the screensaver, etc. I don't want the screen to dim or go to the screen saver at all. [04:52] apb1963: "grub-install /dev/sdc && grub-install –recheck /dev/sdc && update-grub" will fail if you don't have a kernel or grub installed. It installs the grub bootstrap to /dev/sdc and updates the grub config "apt-get install grub-pc linux-image" installs grub2 and the kernel [04:53] athene_noctua: settings -> brightness & lock. disable dim screen to save power === miliear_ is now known as miliear [04:56] hitsujiTMO: I've already tried disabling everything in there : ( [04:56] hitsujiTMO: OK so if I run "apt-get install grub-pc linux-image" don't I still need to do "update-grub"? [04:56] hitsujiTMO: also looked under power setting and have it set to suspend "never" [04:57] apb1963: no. grub-pc installs apt hooks that will call update grub after [04:57] athene_noctua: not sure then. first person i've heard of with such an issue [04:57] hitsujiTMO: ok cool. So how do you know this? I was unable to find info. like that. [04:58] apb1963: from doing a hell of a lot of debootstrap installs [04:58] haha [04:58] the hand of experience. [05:00] well i'm finally nearing the end of this process.... wasn't too hard === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [05:00] apb1963: you can also look at the config and post install scripts for grub-pc in /var/lib/dpkg/info if you want to see exactly what it will do === Sleepnbum is now known as Guest24163 [05:01] cool. thank you [05:08] hitsujiTMO: "it is possible to install GRUB to partition boot records as well, and some appropriate partitions are offered here. However, this forces GRUB to use the blocklist mechanism, which makes it less reliable" It gives me a choice of: sda, sdc and sdc1... sda and sdc would be the partitions it does not recommend... yes? so my best choice is sdc1, the root fs for the new disk I'm installing to? [05:11] how many of you are not English native speakers? [05:11] literally nobody [05:12] hitsujiTMO: it's weird, I'm not sure if it's settings that are present in unity conflicting with cinnamon or what . . . I've tried everything I can find in dconf-editor [05:12] apb1963: installing to a partition is of no benefit. the bios will only start booting from the first bit on the hdd. And installing to a partition who's filesystem uses the first sector (which i'm pretty sure all do) will break that filesystem [05:13] willbradley, Is English your first language? [05:14] yup [05:14] ouyes, and your point is? [05:16] kostkon, my point is UBUNTU ARE MAINLY BUILD FOR ENGLISH OR PEOPLE SPEAKS ENGLISH. [05:17] all programming is mainly english [05:17] Linus Torvalds is Finnish but writes in english [05:17] hitsujiTMO: OK but my question is in regard to verifying that sda and sdc are in fact the partitions; and therefore my choice should be sdc1. Am I understanding this correctly? [05:17] uhh [05:18] ouyes > French here (: [05:18] apb1963: sda and sdc aren't partitions. they're drives. sdc1 and sda1 would be partitions. you install grub to a drive not a partition [05:18] ouyes: Ubuntu might be english by default, but there are full translations available for many languages. [05:19] There are also many support channels out there for non-english speakers. [05:19] ouyes: some apps are written primarily in other languages and translated to english [05:19] hitsujiTMO: OK... that's more clear. So sdc1 would have been the wrong choice.

[07:41] i was asking to check if any surface users have managed to get their cover/keyboards working [07:42] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64811 [07:42] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 64811 in Input Devices "Microsoft Surface type cover 2 assigned to hid-multitouch, "No inputs registered"" [Normal,New] [07:42] it will start out at like 30mbps then slow all the way down to 6mbps === chrisward is now known as Guest71778 [07:46] whats up [07:47] cfhowlett: well buddy i uninstalled fglrx and related, rebooted, and i can see desktop. the cursor is a bit messed up, and fonts look funny, but at least the computer is usable. now to test it with a game :) [07:48] Gallomimia, best of luck [07:48] The surface type cover works during install but there is no input after reboot/first launch. can i make grub fall back to the same HID paradigm as setup? [07:49] are you enabling on screen keyboard in the system settings? [07:50] im not using an on-screen keybaord [07:50] keyboard [07:53] the keyboard is embedded in the cover. works fine during in install, not so much so after booting the installed isystem [07:53] so i need to tell grub to use that failsafe usb/hid paradigm that setup uses [07:54] the bug has been there since kernel 3.11 [07:54] Having a kernel panic with 13.10 usb stick install on my MSI GT60 laptop [07:54] I've got bios set to legacy, fast boot disabled, latest bios... any ideas? [07:55] oh, and Windows 8 is already installed, wanting dual boot [07:55] aw. looks like my game is running in cpu-rendering mode :( [07:56] well, i need new versions of the video drivers i think [07:56] Phlow, try remaking the usb. Sometimes they can get messed up while being made, not all the information gets transfered over. [07:56] Phlow, how does this happen? [07:57] Phlow, I believe if you want to dual boot, you need to have the computer in UEFI mode. Windows 8 won't boot in Legacy as far as I know. [07:57] If I'm wrong someone correct me [07:57] I'll set it back to UEFI after, but I can't boot to USB with UEFI enabled [07:58] able, I get a screen with some a couple symbols at the bottom (looks normal), then the screen goes black and a moment later a kernel panic [07:58] then something else is the problem, you should be able to boot Ubuntu un UEFI just fine [07:58] my usb flash goes right to Win 8 installer if I set UEFI [07:59] The usb flash was made with the windows usb flash, then I used YUMI to add ubuntu 13.10 iso [07:59] has worked in the past [08:00] I'll try to redo the ubuntu iso in YUMI, but I think it's something with the laptop [08:00] since that's what's new [08:01] Ok, keep us updated [08:01] try remaking the install media, if that fails try a different media [08:01] Phlow: change the iso on the setup USB and try again should be working then I had the same problem [08:02] paulus68, change the iso as in redo, or a different iso? [08:02] Phlow, remake the usb, if that usb isn't working try a different usb flash drive [08:02] phlow: remove the iso from the usb setup and re add it again [08:03] k, redownloading... [08:03] in the meantime, there's mention in this thread of an issue with kernel 3.11 and kernel panics: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1scmzb/install_ubuntu_1310_on_msi_gs70/ [08:03] not a problem with 3.08 or 3.12, heard anything about that?

Thanks! [08:55] lol [08:58] Hello. I have a question regarding terminal command 'file' [08:58] "otr set/" [08:58] msn [08:59] ? [08:59] !details | clypso, [08:59] clypso,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:59] willbradley, matches [09:00] I have a problem with the terminal command 'file'. I am trying to view a JPG file but when i type file bob.jpg it only shows me that its a JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01. Im cerious on how to view the file visually [09:01] du / [09:01] clypso: "file" only tells you about the file, it can't view anything [09:02] Hm. So how would i open the jpeg via terminal ? [09:02] how can i get ubuntu's source code [09:02] clypso: like view it in terminal? you can't really [09:03] so via terminal you cant type a command that would open up the JPEG file ? Not just in a bunch of text [09:04] clypso, gnome-open .. xdg-open ... eog -f etc etc [09:05] Like gnome-open ~/Pictures/1.png .. .. .. [09:05] Now would these commands work in most linux operating systems ? Or is this something you must add to it. i see i must install it. So typically if i was in some unix based operating system there would be no viewing it. Plus it wouldnt be GUI so how could i right ? So only viewing it in text is possible thru tterminal without additional installations [09:05] SaberX01: those are all gui [09:06] Ok. makes sense [09:06] Of course, you cant' open a binary picture in the terminal. [09:06] i mean, there are ways, but none are good [09:06] what about executing a script ? or any other type of file ? [09:07] Unless your talking about image-magic or other rendering apps, that's different. [09:07] clypso, your trying to view the file visually, or modify the file? [09:07] Perhaps both [09:08] lol [09:08] Im really dissecting terminal commands and getting to understand Unix in general. Making a switch from windows [09:08] It's quite different [09:08] this isn't unix [09:08] !source|Liumeng, [09:08] Liumeng,: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [09:08] Hm. WHats the difference then between linux and unix ? GUI ? [09:09] and if you're switching from windows, you should install yourself a desktop [09:09] unix and linux are very different [09:09] Yea i dont want to add anything extra i just want the core of it all and the commands that would work univeraslly on any linux/unix machine [09:09] !unix [09:09] UNIX is an operating system created in the '70s, which has many direct derivates and inspired systems like Minix and !Linux. Most "UNIX-style" systems try to somewhat adhere to the POSIX standard. [09:09] Linux and Unix are not the same thing [09:09] !mini|clypso, [09:09] clypso,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:09] clypso, you can't view binary images in the terminal itself. Image processing and rendering are two different things. [09:10] True. What about executing a file ? [09:10] it's so hard to read English docs [09:11] Like a homemmade script i made. Would i just type the script name in and it will execute it ? As long as im within that directory [09:11] clypso, yes, many ways of doing that, depending on what your wanting to do.

[09:14] clypso, while bash is only one language used in the terminal, it's a good start, Perl, Python, Ruby .. loads of others as well. [09:14] I had this idea that all unix/linux had the same commands in their terminal [09:15] Or at least a set of commands thats universal between them. I know some will have extras [09:15] There's build in shell commands / bulletins also .. [09:15] *built [09:16] clypso, for Ubuntu, it's Bash ->> Dash etc. that's why those Bash guides are useful.

[10:13] thom_r, very nice, couple mnor things, but overall, Im pretty impressed with things, especially since it's still A1 stage. [10:14] that's good to know. I'm looking forward to the final release [10:14] thom_r, I only install LTS, so I'll run 12.04 until 14.04 comes out ... xmas! [10:15] cfhowlett, thom_r Im on 12.04 right now as well, I only installed 14.04 as it's the next LTS, but I can say, it's noticeably faster in the DE. [10:15] I had 12.04 installed, and decided to install 13.10 when it came out. I'll stick with 14.04 after it comes out [10:16] All my servers are still 12.04, this Lappy 12.04 w/Dual boot side-by-side 14.04 install. [10:16] SaberX01, nice. little different here as I'm on Ubuntustudio which is based on Xubuntu. Still, I am looking forward to great things. [10:17] SaberX01, how many servers do you have? [10:17] I've not tried any of the 13.x series other than doing ubuntu-qa testing. [10:17] thom_r, At home, 6 .. at work, allot. [10:18] I just have my laptop. I'm getting married in a few months. I would like to set up an email server after we're together [10:18] thom_r, have 12.04 server on an HP-Mini, VIA C7 single core .. :-) runs all my VCS (bzr, hg, git, svn) etc. [10:18] nice [10:19] The server installs are my fav by far, that + tasksel adn can get whatever I want. [10:19] is it possible to have a tower as a media center and email server at the same time? [10:20] Definately. [10:20] thom_r, sure, so long as your hardware can handle the load [10:20] Relly depends on how many users are hitting the server at one time, but one both can have loads of servers on it. [10:20] ok [10:21] *one box .. [10:21] it will just be me and my wife hitting the server. [10:21] Run just abotu whatever you like then. [10:21] when that day comes I will need help setting it up [10:21] But I will say, Devcot + Postfix is not for the faint at heart .. that's setup is no joke. [10:22] thom_r, Start reading now then for the Email server, that's probably the hardest of all servers, that or maybe Bin9 aka DNS .. [10:23] *Bind9 [10:25] thom_r, Here's a short how too: https://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-dovecot-mysql/ [10:25] thanks [10:25] Dont thank me yet, you not looked at it ..

[10:34] however the device is visible on lsusb [10:35] http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1438214017 [10:35] rented [10:35] and I can see it in hciconfig [10:36] Hi All and Happy New Year [10:36] SoulRaven, and how are you trying to access the Server? [10:36] patthebaker, hello [10:37] I need a little bit help to understand and setup one thing [10:37] ok [10:37] i havbe setup a VPS for learning [10:37] i have instelled LAMP and FTP [10:37] all is ok so far [10:38] http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1601619477 [10:38] i have instelled wordpress but when i want update wordpress i need to provide FTP details [10:38] how to setup my server so i don't have to do this [10:39] SoulRaven, those are routing tables. How are you trying to connect from outside ? [10:39] snmpwalk -v2c -c public my_snmp_ip [10:41] SolarisBoy, sri, but I've not used SNMPWALK before, for that you many need to ask in #ubuntu-server. [10:41] SoulRaven, that was for you .. not SolarisBoy .. my bad. [10:42] patthebaker, how do you want to update your Wordpress ? [10:43] hi [10:44] SaberX01: is that IP directly connected to the internet or is there an intermediary device at your hosting site? (ip of the server running snmp). [10:45] SolarisBoy, He said it's a rented server, so Im assuming it's an external IP from somwhere. [10:45] is it possible to just import the existing linux encrypted lvm partition information and using that info install ubuntu on that encrypted lvm? without damaging any data in /home? [10:45] SolarisBoy, This not my issue, was SoulRaven having the problem. [10:46] SaberX01: yep just noticed. - that was for SoulRaven [10:46] Sometime not a good idea :-) [10:46] SoulRaven: is the external IP the IP of the server or is that just being routed through NAT or something (likely case)? [10:47] He was in #ubuntu-server asking a moment ago. [10:47] if the latter are you certain that there is an allownace on the f/w for SNMP communication? [10:47] ahh === hub is now known as Guest73828 [10:48] Abhijit, while it may be possible, I'm not sure of the sucess rate, Iv'e never tried to do that, especially with encrypted partitions. [10:48] ok [10:48] hi there, anyone else's unity panel clock gone, since the year changed, restarting the unity panel services does not work anymore [10:49] Abhijit, I would set up the new drive on it's own, then do an rsync / zsync using the access credentials to get the data. === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [10:50] So I have a 5 disk RAID5 array that is currently rebuilding at 36M/sec, which seems slow to me. I've set the read-ahead to 32MiB, the strip_cache_size to 32768, the speed_limit_min to 100000, max to 400000. I have tried disabling NCQ on all the drives in the array, but 36M/sec seems the most I can get. Anything I'm missing? [10:51] ServerSage, HW or SW RAID? [10:51] SaberX01: mdadm SW RAID [10:52] Still seems slow though .. [10:52] i've been having the same problem with my mdadm raid5 [10:52] andyfied: I guess misery loves company. Hehe. [10:53] Anybody know if you can enable bitmap on a live array while it's rebuilding? :) [10:53] i've had other issues with segfaults so it's low priority :p [10:54] ServerSage, Actually, having said that, 36M/second, is like 2100+ MB per minute, that's not too bad really on a rebuild. [10:55] SaberX01, ok. thansk. [10:55] ServerSage: i think it's not so bad for a rebuild, but that's also me read speed where the single OS drive happily reads 100/s [10:55] I've tested mdadm offline, all my real RAID arrays are HW arrays. [10:56] SaberX01: It's a home server, HW RAID would be silly over kill. lol [10:56] LOL well MegaRAID cards pretty cheap these days [10:56] But yes, point taken. [10:57] SaberX01: if i want update wordpress OR install a plugin on wordpress or do any work on any CMS i need manually give FTP detail. On my sharing hosting i don't have to do this [10:57] can one help me in understanding the difference between... Ubuntu / Debian / Linux / Unix... [10:58] SaberX01: Your idea of "pretty cheap" and mine must be vastly different. [10:58] yudhi, Ubuntu is based on Debian, which is a Linux operating system. Unix is something different. [10:59] @thom_r thanks.. [11:02] ServerSage, I'ts all relative I suppose .. : -) [11:02] Hi there. [11:02] patthebaker, I do my updates etc on my home dir, then copy them over and change permissions, then use WP for updates after that. [11:03] punzilla, greetings [11:03] Can you help me, I have 50 messages "http cache starting" with ubuntu server. how to remove it? [11:03] SaberX01: True, a MegaRAID controller is cheap compared to a maserati. [11:03] happy new year all, I need some assistance with my joypad please. [11:03] Today I have purchased a steam game 'Mark of the Ninja'. [11:03] Utopu: Where do you have those messages? [11:04] and it is compatible with the X-box controller (which I have a Logitech Rumblepad 2). [11:04] bekks: in messages at boot [11:04] patthebaker, something like: sudo rsync -avP ~/wordpress/ /var/www/ .. then ... sudo chown www-data:www-data * -R && sudo usermod -a -G www-data [11:04] Utopu: Sounds like you have a squid server running then. [11:04] I have downloaded jstest-gtk and have attempted to re-map the controller to match that of the x-box configuration. [11:04] Though the settings haven't stuck. [11:05] SaberX01: should i setup Apache to use CGI ? I googled this minute ago [11:05] bekks: squid is not installed :/ [11:05] and I have also tried downloading qjoypad, which doesn't work despite me downloading it from the ubunty repositories. [11:06] I need help to re-map my joypad controller configuration please. [11:06] patthebaker, I dont do any special configs for that. [11:06] patthebaker: I'd not use CGI, since PHP over CGI is a real mess. Use Apache2. [11:06] patthebaker, Simply install the LAMP package and run form there. [11:06] Utopu: How did you check?

[11:41] SaberX01: Oops, I've just noticed this box is Debian, not Ubuntu. Not sure if it'd apply the same. Otherwise I'll wander over to #debian [11:41] narcos, best to ask the #debian channel [11:41] narcos, Indeed it does, I can't recall when exactly they went to python2.7 but been a while. [11:42] I can install the package with 'pip install mitmproxy', but trying 'apt-get install mitmproxy' throws an error about a syntax error, as it's using something not supported in 2.6.

When I restart, it takes for 30/45 seconds, when my pc is started to get connected. [12:09] Gallomimia: Depends on what you are doing and what you are expecting. [12:09] korkel, are you sure you have the correct wifi driver installed? [12:09] i've got a radeon and the support has been less than useful for me [12:09] Gallomimia, makes a bit tougher that's for sure [12:10] Thom_r, no idea, how can I see that?

[12:19] Thomr, what driver is it? [12:19] Korkel: He just said is is looking for it. [12:19] bekks, I suppose it's more accurate to say b43 even .. but yes, the Broadcom drivers. [12:19] SaberX01: They never caused any issues here. Although there are some specific chipsets that erent supported. [12:20] But how can I know if I get the good driver [12:20] Korkel: Be patient. [12:21] bekks, I've never owned one, but many folks roll through here and allot of them are are b43 issues. I only use Intel WiFI and fibre NIC. [12:21] SaberX01: I had the same issues you talk about with Intel, Realtek, Atheros, etc. [12:22] hey ubuntuficators [12:22] Sorry bekks [12:22] happy new years to ubuntu people [12:22] I do have one Server I didn't have a spare Intel NIC for, it's Marvell or something, but thats it.

[12:26] And how to install it, google isnt helping [12:27] i'm stuck with mediatomb [12:27] anyone ? [12:28] universal, not really, but do you kill / stop the ftp server before removing the mobile device? === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [12:32] SaberX01: what I know is that 1st I should safely remove a device and then detach/remove/disconnect it, so I first unmount/eject the mobile filesystem in nautilis and then go for wifi disconnection but the moment I hit eject/unmount button in nautilis, whole system freezes [12:33] so I don not kill/stop the ftp server on mobile before unmount/eject on laptop [12:33] SaberX01: ^^ [12:34] universal, I don;t think it should freeze like that either way. Try dumping the WiFI first then, but it's should not be doing that. [12:36] SaberX01: how to show you ? the moment I hit the button it freezes, its really scary now [12:38] universal, I know that you can show is. ALl the bugs Im finding are fairly old. What Ubuntu version is on the laptop? [12:38] *can not show .. [12:38] SaberX01: saucy [12:41] universal, I don't see any bugs related to this that make sense. I would go to Launchpad and report it as a bug: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#How_to_report_bugs [12:45] SaberX01: ok I'll write everything again. I have a laptop with Ubuntu OS version 13.10 saucy and BCM 4313 wifi chip with wl driver. the mobile is android 2.3.6. what I do is either I open a hotspot on mobile and connect my laptop to it or I connect both the laptop and mobile to a router. then I install a ftp server on mobile and connect my laptop to it by opening it in nautilis. all this time everything is good and mobile file syste [12:48] but in the end when I 1st unmount/eject the mobile file system in nautilis so as to close the ftp server afterwards and then disconnect the wifi later on, the moment I hit the umount/eject button laptop freezes and nothing works, I have to hen manually reboot the system from power button [12:48] SaberX01: ^^^ [12:50] universal better put that in the bug report on launchpad === zz__gypsy_ is now known as _gypsy_ [12:53] MonkeyDust: ok, how to put it there ? [12:54] greetings [12:54] !bug [12:54] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [12:54] universal, That's the best I can suggest is write up a bug rpt. It may also be related to Nautilus as well, im just not sure. [12:55] SaberX01: MonkeyDust but the problem is it really a ubuntu bug ? 1st I wanna find out whats the cause of this problem, is it a android or ubuntu bug ? or BCM 4313 wl driver problem ? [12:57] something I don't think I will ever understand: the need to write an article about a botnet threat to linux, and not include any usefull information like what actually detects it... :| [13:02] universal, There's certainly something wrong on the Ubnutu side, as the laptop should not lock up like that. === james is now known as Guest27014 [13:03] SaberX01: thats what is so shocking, android is also linux moreover I cant understand how a laptop is freezing when unmount a network virtual file system [13:04] universal: Does it happen with other remote filesystems too? [13:04] bekks: I have not connected an other remote filesystems [13:05] universal: So you havent tested that. [13:05] universal, One thing you could try, the Andrid should give you an IP and a port to ftp too .. try using a command line ftp instead of Nautilus. [13:05] SaberX01: ok [13:05] universal: And another thing you could try is to look at the logs after rebooting after the lockup. [13:05] if anybody of you has an android then we can test === xwalk is now known as Guest15185 [13:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6673056/ [13:08] Temp_o_Rary: What is that?

[13:09] im willing to, and i wrote some of the details into the paste [13:10] Temp_o_Rary: If you issued the command in your paste, chmod -R ... - you entirely messed up your system. [13:10] Temp_o_Rary, so you performed something with -R chmod 0770 ? time to reinstall [13:10] bekks: SaberX01 MonkeyDust I'm connecting my android to my laptop over wifi and running the ftp server on mobile, now what to ? suggest plz [13:10] okay [13:10] Temp_o_Rary: The only thing to do is to backup files you need, and reinstall. [13:10] no way of repair [13:10] okay [13:10] hello, happy new year to all. I can't install Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro 5.2. I have dual Nvidia graphics. I get a black screen by boot, can't boot from BIOS mode, even black screen by EFI mode. EFI boots with nomodeset in prompt. [13:10] Temp_o_Rary, indeed as bekks said, is in bad shape, you could spend months trying to reconfigure permissions [13:10] it would be nice if someone would come up with a script to fix permissions... kind of like what they have on Mac. [13:11] Temp_o_Rary, is this a dual boot system ? [13:11] Yes.. i also have windows [13:11] universal, use the terminal and ftp connect to the Android [13:11] is k3b pretty reliable for extracting music from cd's (even if they are scratched)? i want to be able to rip and throw away the disks [13:12] SaberX01: ftp connect command ? [13:12] Temp_o_Rary, Unless you have critical files, which could be backed up, I'd reinstall the UB side of the dual boot. [13:12] SaberX01: do i have to install ftp client ? [13:12] Temp_o_Rary: just so you know "-R" tells chmod to change permissions recursively (from current directory all the way down)... [13:12] rcw2, strange way to measure reliability k3b with scratched cd's [13:14] hello and happy new year [13:14] OerHeks, k3b could have a reputation for doing well with scratched cd's. [13:14] I did a release upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 over a month ago ... everything is fine except that I havent received any update since then ... I am wondering is the update system kinda idle, or I have some problem in my apt-get? I tried everything from runnign apt-get clean to changing repo urls to point to different countries but nothing happened [13:14] rcw2: It depends on the scratches, like for every other application. [13:14] husamas: Did you run sudo apt-get update yet? [13:15] scratches aside, is k3b known for doing well with cd's [13:15] bekks , yes many times [13:15] husamas: Pastebin the entire output please.

I think it should redownload the metadata because a clean was run ... that's how this has always worked for me [13:27] [[a], try "ping -c 5 192.168.1.102" as you have no client @ *.*.*.100 === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [13:30] <[[a]> OerHeks, "ping -c 5 192.168.1.102" it works packets have been sent, but w/ .100 => Loss = 100% [13:30] What makes it even stranger is that the package system works for installing new packages ... it feels like apt is stuck in a time point ... does anybody know of a new cache layer that has been recently added to the apt repo metadata? [13:33] husamas, Nothing on 12.04 or 14.04 that I know of, my local mirrors working as expected. You do an autoclean && clean && update ?

[14:18] tricksy_: to remove a directory rm -r /path/to/direc [14:19] yes, so now, i have lost www [14:19] tricksy_: Then everything in there is gone now. You need your backup to restore it. [14:19] how do i do that? how do i restore it? [14:19] tricksy_: How did you create your backup before?

[14:24] rcw2: depends on what it found, but that's a good sign yes .. double check with apt-cache policy cdrdao [14:24] bekks: i am doing that now [14:24] When I did iptables -F to clear the rules it worked fine [14:24] tricksy: Then your data was not worth to be kept and is lost now. [14:24] Yes but the normal inference would be, how do you like it, is it reliable [14:24] tricksy: There is nothing to backup in /var/www - you data is lost. [14:24] glitsj16, Installed: 1:1.2.3-2 [14:24] the lost data doesnt really bother me. [14:25] it didnt have much [14:25] but can i simply mkdir www [14:25] and use it as before?

[14:30] if anyone has 7.1 please help me :p otherwise ill wait here for new users to join :D [14:30] *PPA not PPS [14:30] rcw2: so i tried to recreate a folder named www in/var [14:30] tricksy: Every symlink to stuff which was in there will not work, since there is no content anymore. [14:30] bekks: but my symlinks are all broken in the new folder that i created [14:30] bekks: i recreated the symlinks [14:31] rcw2: no cddb is the freedb tab, toc analysis is to make a cue sheet of the rip [14:31] tricksy: Of course they are. All symlinks to content in /var/ww are broken since there is no content anymore. [14:31] probably owner:group issue with www-data [14:31] tricksy: Regardless of wether yoiu recreated the symlinks. That wont magically restore content. [14:31] rcw2: so if you don't need that try setting prefs for toc analysis off, uncheck everything you can [14:32] exist #alsa chanel? [14:32] or pulse?

[14:32] SaberX01, I have noticed several posts to the problem, but no solution [14:32] tee hee [14:33] zakmc: time for some deeper debugging. edit /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py as root, and add a new line between 326 and 327 with just the word 'raise' (no quotes, indented 8 spaces). Then run it again [14:33] tricksy: And did you fix the permissions of /var/www after creating it? [14:33] bekks: shouldn't this make a copy of projects in /var/www and create a symlink pointed to it [14:33] zakmc, same here, nobody has posted the reason nor solution that I could find. [14:33] tricksy: No. [14:33] bekks: yes, i gave it 777 [14:33] ln -s whatever /foo/bar will create a symlink named whatever in the current directory which points to /var/www [14:34] cuddylier: you really seem to have trouble following simple instructions... that's not what I asked for.

What did you ask for? I thought iptables --list? [14:34] bekks... OMFG!!! dude, you should never link to /foo/bar :P [14:34] cuddylier: iptables -L -v -n [14:34] tricksy: 777 messes up permissions on /var/www - use 755 and www-data:www-data as owner. [14:34] d3bug: Why? [14:34] d3bug: Did you ever heard of directory symlinks? [14:35] that's like linking to /dev/zero and trying to divide it... you didn't know?

[15:08] yep [15:08] hey @all, happy 2014. Does anyone use HipChat? or planned to use [15:08] !offtopic | Autoclesis [15:08] Autoclesis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:09] Seveas, indeed! Thank you very much for your help, and a happy new year to you too! [15:09] i am a latino so, sometimes i cant express like i wish, you know? [15:09] Thanks Seveas [15:09] i need inspiration -.- [15:10] curiousx, stay on ubuntu topics! [15:11] Seveas: perhaps i need to activate something on Chrome? I do not remember how i did this last time, the bad things about a fresh install and having to reconfigure all again... [15:11] curiousx, your question is asked before > http://askubuntu.com/questions/288161/ubuntu-13-04-how-configure-surround-sound [15:14] Seveas: got it, i was symlinking to the wrong file, my bad :P [15:14] hi [15:14] how to use my windows key in laptop as superkey? in ubuntustudio an xfce based one?

What does it mean "to virtualize a device"? [15:23] hey all, on my 13.10, when I am away for some time, screen goes black, which is okay. But it does not go black smoothly, it flashes several times while fading, before going dark. Why is that? [15:24] azamat, maybe a driver related issue [15:24] expert guys please help. i'm having this problem: http://imgur.com/bORyibk === james is now known as Guest18767 [15:25] are there any optical differences in the user interface between kubuntu and linux mint kde?? [15:25] this error comes when i try to install an app on terminal: "" [15:25] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory) [15:25] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [15:25] azamat, what is your graphic card [15:25] [15:25] curiousx, I have "Intel® Ivybridge Mobile" [15:25] Also, how can I install Flash Player in Ubuntu? [15:26] MarkDavies, http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/ :) [15:26] xxmate: do you know what you did before this problem started? [15:26] azamat: the last time I found an instruction of installation Flash Player in google and it failed entirely [15:26] yeah, i tried sudo rm -rf or -f /var/lib/dpkg [15:26] SaberX01, sorry i took so long to come back. I tried the commands and I couldn't get it to work. I pasted the commands I used into the pastebin here along with an error I got : http://pastebin.com/u9dXbn6H [15:27] Chogydan: what to do now? [15:27] xxmate: well, sorry, but that was stupid :( why did you do that? [15:27] xxmate: I think you have to reinstall [15:27] probably i saw something to do that on website [15:27] curiousx, it actually was okay on ubuntu 12.10 [15:27] Chogydan: ubuntu? [15:28] i should be able to reuse an existing software-raid LUKS container during setup, right? [15:28] xxmate: do you remember where you saw that? I would consider that a hostile command [15:28] hitsujiTMO, Hi [15:28] MarkDavies, did you try: http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-adobe-flash-player-in-ubuntu-13-04-ubuntu-12-10-and-12-04/ ? [15:29] Guest18767, It would appear you dont have that particular Icon. Other that what we posted, I dont know what else you could try. [15:29] xxmate: yeah, all of Ubuntu. There are ways to install without wiping your /home directory, so it can be done without too much trouble === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [15:29] oh okay...but i'll lose some applications [15:30] xxmate: mhm [15:30] Seveas: See the rules we set, was the IP 185.28.189.136 meant to be the remote IP rather than the IP on the actual box that was being connected to? [15:30] As that IP is an IP on the box with port 25579 [15:30] SaberX01, the No such key 'computer-icon-visible' message confused me because the computer icon is there. The other commands didn't throw an error they went through, they just didnt work [15:30] ChogyDan: thank u :) i'm gonna try manjaro first :D [15:30] xxmate: gl :) [15:30] cya :) [15:31] sry azamat but idk, i meant i could suggest you a couple of posible solution but... maybe the people here might get mad at me :p [15:31] Will GlobalSat work with Viking? [15:32] Autoclesis: How is that related to Ubuntu? [15:32] Viking is an Ubuntu application on the Ubuntu Store. [15:32] A GPS program. [15:33] Autoclesis: And whats Globalsat? [15:33] A GPS receiver. [15:33] Autoclesis: Thats a good question for the Viking support then. [15:33] Viking seems only to recognize Garmin and a few others... [15:33] lol [15:33] It is, indeed. [15:33] azamat, and the other solution could be trying out the saucy-oibaf-ppa -.- [15:34] So you're assertion is, it's an Ubuntu program, but the query is not Ubuntu-related? [15:34] your, rather. [15:34] hey [15:34] SaberX01: fyi it looks like in the end I just needed to run: update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf [15:34] and switch from fglrx to nvidia [15:34] Autoclesis: Yes. :) [15:34] I don't get it. [15:34] XD im on a DELL XPS 630 i [15:35] and i'm thinking the alternatives log cuts off each line so it really ran properly but didn't log the whole command [15:35] i love it for 200 dollars [15:35] Autoclesis: Imagine driving a Ford - although it is a car, a BMW garage may not fit your needs in helping you. [15:36] BLZbubba, your graphics working ok ? [15:36] That's a fitting analogy to you? [15:36] Autoclesis: Yes. [15:36] Fascinating. [15:36] wow u ppl must be running this from windows 95 [15:36] Autoclesis: Indeed. [15:36] XD [15:36] An Ubuntu question is not appropriate for an Ubuntu channel. [15:36] how can I check which the version of Ubuntu I run? [15:37] MarkDavies, lsb_release -a [15:37] But this futilitarian colloquy is. [15:37] hey yall [15:37] :P [15:37] Autoclesis: I am not going to discuss things with you anymore, any further. === security is now known as Guest91658 [15:37] hi? [15:37] thanks curiousx [15:37] np [15:37] bekks, good to know. [15:39] curiousx, dunno, Oibaf PPA looks a bit scary and I am not sure if I can risk :) [15:39] hey all [15:39] happy new years [15:39] :) === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [15:40] azamat, lo), ok so try the intel oficial installer if you wish -.- [15:40] curiousx, not sure they have "installer" for linux :) but let me check [15:41] yep, they have [15:42] I think everyone is right. Every other channel on Freenode provides better Ubuntu help than #ubuntu. [15:43] azamat, https://01.org/linuxgraphics/ [15:43] Hi, I started ubuntu 13 without installing from an usb on a computer that has windows 7 because I couldn't start windows, after ubuntu started, i looked at the harddrive, it is not listed under df, in /dev, the only drive with partitions (sda, has sda1) is the sub i booted from, so I can't see the partitions on hard drive, I'm guessing it can't read the partition table on the pc. Anyone know how I would get access to files on the d [15:44] Darksonn: Which Ubuntu 13 - 13.04 or 13.10? [15:44] azamat, oh! sry they didnt have an ubuntu 13.10 installer :p https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/intelr-graphics-installer-1.0.2-linux [15:44] Darksonn: If you couldnt read the partition table, you would be unable to boot Ubuntu. Pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" please. [15:44] bekks: 13.10 [15:44] !pastebin | Darksonn [15:44] Darksonn: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [15:45] bekks: I booted from an usb on which I can read the partition table [15:46] curiousx, yes, thank you, I have already downloaded installer for 13.04, but when I opened it with software center, it said I don't have some dependent packages. I will now try to install it with gdebi [15:46] Darksonn: Pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" please. [15:46] bekks: moment [15:46] it will say the same thing -.- [15:46] but maybe you will be able to solve those dependeces [15:46] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6673624/ === mike is now known as Guest65777 === Guest65777 is now known as mikecb [15:48] curiousx, you are right :) it still says Dependency is not satisfiable: libpackagekit-glib2-14 [15:48] Darksonn: Is that "sudo fdisk -l" or "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda"? [15:48] sudo fdisk -l [15:49] Darksonn: Pastebin "dmesg" too, please. [15:50] I want to install VirtualBox. I downloaded the package and tried to install, why doesn't dpkg install the packages on which VirtualBox depends automatically? [15:50] Hi! do anyone know how make a share folder between 2 ubuntu 12.04/13.10? systems? [15:50] MarkDavies: Because dpkg doesnt do that. apt-get does. [15:50] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6673644/ [15:51] bekks: I tried with apt-get, too, and it didn't do it. [15:51] MarkDavies: where did you get the package? If the package doesn't specify its dependencies correctly, there is nothing dpkg can do about it [15:51] bekks: dpkg also installs dependencies [15:51] yep, and that packege is not in ubuntu repos, so dont install it, if you try to install it it will broke another packages [15:52] Darksonn: Looks like you have a problem with your harddisk. Did you poweroff, and check cables£? [15:52] bekks: which cables do you mean I should have checked_ [15:52] Darksonn: The cables connecting your harddisk to your computer. [15:53] lo) azamat, http://askubuntu.com/questions/379291/problem-with-installing-intel-linux-graphics-installer-1-0-2-0intel3-i386-deb [15:53] Rook, IN the filer manager, Right-Click the folder you want to share, properties, then share options. [15:53] bekks: It's an internal harddrive [15:53] trijntje: from the Oracle page. When I tried to install the package it listed the packages which should be pre-installed. Neither apt-get nor dpkg installed them, however. But I successfully installed them by hand using the list mentioned. [15:53] Darksonn: In a PC or a laptop? [15:53] SaberX01: ty! [15:53] bekks: desktop [15:53] Darksonn: Then check the cables. [15:53] MarkDavies: why not use the software in the ubuntu repository? Then you don't have to bother with all that stuf [15:54] trijntje: I tried and it was all the same.. [15:54] bekks: You mean I should powerdown and look inside the computer? [15:54] MarkDavies: what do you mean by that? [15:54] Darksonn: Thats what I said, yes. [15:54] bekks: okay [15:55] trijntje: that neither installing VirtualBox from the Ubuntu repository, nor as an external package, had I had the dependencies installed automatically. [15:55] installing software from outside the ubuntu repository is always a hassle and can break your system. If you have a problem with vbox from the repo its better to sort that problem out than install from oracle [15:58] MarkDavies: can you install virtualbox from the repository and pastebin the exact error messages you get? [15:59] curiousx, yeah, I read that, thanks) I think I will wait for ubuntu 14 :) I think intel will make another installer for 14 [15:59] trijntje: I've successfully installed this package and I don't want to bother with it more, but the installation was something strange. the apt-get command returned something like: "The following are dependencies, but the system will not install them." [16:00] azamat, ok [16:02] MarkDavies: weird, sounds like something messed up your software repository, did you add any ppa's, additional source lines? [16:02] trijntje: nothing like this. Everything's completely clear. [16:02] trijntje: and it was the first time I came across such a problem. [16:03] weird, I'm not sure what the problem is then [16:09] bekks: okay, I opened it up, the cables look fine, heres a picture of the harddrive http://i.cubeupload.com/PEiUHw.jpg [16:12] I messed up with grub. I have Ubuntu 12.04 o one partition. Then I installed another linux on a 2nd partition. If I manipulate grub on the Ubuntu now, the changes have no affect to grub menu. It looks like the other operating system is in charge of grub now. Can anyone help me to get the control back on Ubuntu? [16:14] bekks: are you there? [16:15] I did a umount -a, now my pendrive is not getting mounted. what to do ? [16:18] universal: tried the good old reboot? [16:18] this: no, anyways of getting it mounted without reboot [16:20] universal: check out the tool "Disk Utility" which is part of Ubuntu. Maybe you can mount it this way.

[16:27] cuddylier: I just read your last message. The UDP service is on the box that we're adding firewall rules too, right? And you say the given IP address is also on this box. [16:27] if that's true, we've been using the wrong ip address :) [16:27] Yea, that's true [16:28] That IP and Port is of a service on the box [16:28] replace the ip in those rules with the IP that needs access [16:28] Ah okay [16:28] Seveas Both Input and Output rules? [16:28] yeah [16:29] Seveas: Definitely source and destination yeah? So the IP on the box doesn't matter at all? It will affect all Ips on the box on port 25579? [16:30] Guys, I've messed something up. I'm trying to ssh and I can't run it.. See the error here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6673789/ | Any ideas?

[16:44] As I did that one again before doing so [16:44] cuddylier: yes, and in the dmesg output. [16:44] But I did the dmesg after sending packets [16:44] Okay, I'll try again [16:45] Seveas: After sending packets the dmesg output looks no different [16:46] cuddylier: then your service isn't sending any packets back [16:46] because the -j LOG rule makes it log all packets, which would show up in dmesg [16:47] hmm [16:47] The services say they can't even connect at all [16:47] glitsj16: It worked! Thanks a lot. [16:47] Seveas: Do you know any UDP test sites? [16:47] this: np, one less thing [16:52] Seveas: Would I just remove '--sport 25579' part to allow the IP to connect to any port?

I have XFCE terminal on Ubuntu 12.04, I use iBus (Hindi inscript m17n) to type in Hindi, but some characters which are supposed to 'merge' together don't do so o.o' [17:04] have we figured out how to run ubuntu on an ipad yet? even if it's inside iOS as some sort of VM? [17:04] (it works in LibreOffice) [17:05] Xlr20: is there virtualization software for ipad? [17:05] HisaoNakai: have you tried xterm? [17:06] ActionParsnip: i was hoping someone here might know if there is [17:07] xlr20: there is no such way. [17:07] First time using smuxi or an IRC client. first thought :/ AAAAAHHHHH. To much text, everywhere! [17:07] bekks: but isn't cydia debian-like? there must be a way [17:07] is akash PMing others as well as me? [17:08] xlr20: there is none, yet. [17:08] ya able [17:09] bekks: yes there is. i just haven't figured it out. there's a vmware solution i'm working on [17:09] bekks: for a vm hosted online [17:09] xlr20: good luck then on porting vmware onto iOS. [17:09] xlr20: Leave a note when you are done. [17:10] akash: why are you PMing me? [17:10] bekks: why would i port it when there is already a vmware client for ios? [17:10] xlr20: a client is different from the hypervisor... [17:10] how can I download and install suitable dvd player [17:10] first tell PMing means what [17:11] first tell PMing means what able [17:11] xlr20: there are zillions of remote clients for iOS. [17:11] bekks: a client is all that's needed. like i said the vm is hosted somewhere online and accessed through the client. anyways i guess nobody here has done it so i'll just keep working on it [17:11] ActionParsnip: Just tried it. I can't get it to as much as show the Hindi characters. Tried 'xterm -en UTF-8' and 'xterm -u8' on a whim, no change. [17:11] bekks: there are no zillions of VM clients. VNC, sure there are plenty [17:11] xlr20: I am working like for a long time. [17:12] xlr20: I said "remote clients", not "vm clients". [17:12] xlr20: you could run vncserver and connect to it. You will get the desktop showing on the device. Not realy 'running' on thee device [17:12] HisaoNakai: could install guake, see if its the same. Otherwise i sugest you report a bug [17:13] ActionParsnip: ya vnc is convenient [17:13] xlr20: its also unsecure [17:13] xlr20: an ssh tunnel helps there :-) [17:14] ActionParsnip: vnc can be used with ssh to make it more secure? [17:14] !vnc | xlr20 [17:14] xlr20: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [17:14] ssh can be used to make vnc more secure. [17:15] Vnc needs to die [17:15] ActionParsnip: ack. [17:15] you can use other things, like xserver [17:15] not that i've managed it yet [17:16] which is insecure without ssh too. [17:16] ActionParsnip: thanks for the link [17:16] i would only be using it with ssh [17:16] ActionParsnip: Same issue with guake. [17:18] ActionParsnip: how about teamviewer, with respect to security? [17:19] xlr20: sure why not [17:19] do u think someone would make a fork of wayland? [17:20] Renji_: they can, its source is available [17:20] xlr20: use freenx. [17:21] xlr20: what do you do on the remote desktop? [17:21] xlr20: no one knows wether teamviewer isnt getting your data, since it is closed source. [17:21] bekks: thanks i'll check it out [17:21] to run for kunbuntu? @actionparsnip [17:21] xlr20: there may be a sleeker solution [17:22] Renji_: if you can get kde running on it etc, sure.... [17:22] ActionParsnip: control the computer remotely, but I like having a desktop image available like with VNC as opposed to ssh in a terminal. [17:22] xlr20: yes but what do you do once on the desktop itself? [17:23] bekks: is freenx still being developed? the last entry on their project page is from 2008 === Xenof_ is now known as Xenof [17:24] ActionParsnip: using it to help other people or assist with issues like one would do with teamviewer [17:25] ActionParsnip: so i don't need audio/video [17:25] Xlr20: gotcha, makes sense. [17:25] Hello, I changed my language to Thai then changed back to English but all filenames are in Thai and I have no clue how to convert them [17:25] hi all, is anyone aware of the status of vestige or VST support in amd64 build of lmms? i see an open bug here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lmms/+bug/1182604 stating that the support will be (maybe) fixed within ubuntu 14.04, but no alternatives [17:25] Ubuntu bug 1182604 in lmms (Ubuntu) "AMD64 lmms package doesn't have Vestige VST support while the i386 does" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:25] xlr20: accordinng to their PPAs, they do maintain it. [17:26] I have a pretty funny question here. :) [17:26] I have dropbox on my PC [17:27] maybe I should use convmv UTF-8 *.* and they will be converted? [17:27] but someone shuts down my PC [17:27] It should automatically wait till dropbox is fully synced [17:27] Is it possible anyway? [17:28] napster: that wouldnt be possible. [17:28] napster: doesnt matter. Dropbox will continue syncing on poweron [17:28] bekks: Would love to see some pointers [17:28] napster: Pointers to "impossible"? [17:29] ActionParsnip: err, well its not exactly the use case. I need this to be synced completely before going down. So that the content is immediately available on other machines. [17:29] hola por aca haber si aprendo un poco mas [17:29] bekks: Nope! pointers to possibilities :) [17:30] Napster: you could see if the client alters a file to state it is up to date [17:30] ActionParsnip: These are my development systems. I work from home - I work on the go and I work from office. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [17:30] foro en español en ubuntu o ubuntu forum in Spanish thanks [17:30] !es | leonoc [17:30] leonoc: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [17:31] Napster: surely you have dropbox on your systems too, to sync between etc. [17:31] ire for learning English force [17:32] ActionParsnip: hmm, I think I should use git or something to do that completely under control. [17:33] dropbox has their own versioning [17:33] git push before shutdown will be more easier. I was just curios if something can be done with dropbox hooks if they do expose any. [17:35] napster: have you checked out the alternatives to dropbox before? [17:36] xlr20: I have tried out box once, but honestly not much [17:36] there's also Wuala and box.com [17:37] none of them are as convenient and easy as dropbox, even if they are better as far as security and offer more free space [17:37] it's a shame [17:37] xlr20: And is there any specific reasons to point to alternatives? Does they provide any features which could help in my use case? [17:38] napster: well they can offer encryption. wuala and spider oak both do [17:38] MonkeyDust: checking out Wuala now [17:38] xlr20: ok [17:39] These solutions are best suited for sharing photographs or documents which don't have much revisions everyday. [17:39] I run my entire eclipse workspace from Dropbox for the past several months. [17:39] Sigh! [17:39] as do the copy and paste into the chat to learn jajaj [17:40] napster: what *is* your use case? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [17:40] gordonjcp: mind scrolling up? [17:41] Shouldn't there be a specific Wayland ATI driver? [17:41] napster: I'm trying to pick out what the original question was, but I can't === embed-ns is now known as phil-ns [17:41] gordonjcp: The original question was that, is it possible to prevent the shutdown till the dropbox files are synced with the server. [17:42] All machines I have access to runs on 13.10 [17:42] napster: who is this person that is shutting down your computer before it syncs? [17:42] xlr20: Unfortunately its me [17:42] :D [17:43] napster: you could try using the shutdown command and timing your computer to turn off after an hour or however much time dropbox tells you it will take to sync [17:43] if one was to install openvpn from the package does it use internal user accounts on the server to authenticate users? or does it have its own internal authentication.. or does it not use users at all and just use certs? [17:43] napster: good question [17:43] napster: is there something that dropbox can call, to tell when it's done syncing? [17:43] xlr20: Ok that is the best part. We can't predict how much time it can take to sync everything up. [17:44] gordonjcp: my mule says there should be something for doing that. Lets digg together :) [17:44] napster: you should be able to.. dropbox gives you an estimate [17:44] ubottu along apredo my life much easier in the chat, he usually always read some text that we are many??? [17:44] leonoc: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:45] xlr20: yes, so the point will be to get that info from dropbox and time the shutdown based on that. [17:46] napster: you can get that info by right clicking on the dropbox icon in your system tray and reading it yourself, then setting the shutdown command [17:46] xlr20: aah! That is a lot of manual work. I'm digging the python SDK for dropbox. [17:47] Something is here. Its Qt, easier for me : http://lycis.github.io/QtDropbox/ [17:47] Napster: have you read the dropbox manpage? [17:47] ActionParsnip: wow! That was a good pointer [17:47] let me do that [17:48] Napster: dropbox status ~/Dropbox [17:48] ActionParsnip: That helps! [17:48] :D [17:48] Thanks a lot mate [17:48] Weird those man pages huh..... [17:49] Np :-) [17:49] let me see I can script things up for it [17:51] Hey guys! Just got linux for the first time! [17:52] ho ho ho! [17:52] Mendel: welcome` [17:52] happy new yearr [17:52] thanks :) [17:53] If I have questions about ubuntu is this a good place to ask? [17:53] yes [17:54] why doesnt it let me connect my iphone? [17:55] Mendel: could you tell us a little bit more like what version of Ubuntu you are using, what you have tried ect ? thankd [17:55] Mendel: when you last unplugged it, did you use the safe removal feature in your OS? [17:55] Hey all. I just installed Gnome 3.10 and pretty quickly uninstalled it again via ppa-purge after I noticed it broke my Unity. I fixed everything again, but my wallpaper/desktop is still broken. Does anyone know how to get it back up? [17:56] Q-collective: you may have to remove the current gnome config, we have no way of knowing what changes the packages from the ppa have made [17:56] Q-collective: also i suggest you contact the ppa maintainer [17:57] Q-collective: what ActionParsnip said maybe use d-conf app to look at each of the settings for the dbus and set back to normal [17:58] Mendel: which file manager are you using? [17:58] im using the newest version. when i click trust it keeps popoing up on my phone and this msg pops up on my computer. DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) [17:58] i dont know [17:59] Mendel: do you use the safe remove feature before unplugging the device [17:59] seems like a mount issue Mendel [17:59] Mendel [17:59] try updating your system. maybe something is outdated [17:59] yes its a mount issue and no whats that [17:59] hi. I use a Tenda R502 router. I enabled UPnP and also DMZ in the router but when I use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to check if I have an open port, it always give me error. I didn't use a firewall (in Ubuntu 12.04LTS). Why? [18:00] i sudo updates and its all up to sate [18:00] date [18:00] did you upgrade too? [18:00] Mendel: do you safe remove, or do you just unplug it? [18:00] just unplug it [18:00] what should i be updating exactly [18:00] Mendel: why do you think operating system makers put that feature in? [18:01] Mendel: seriously. Think about it [18:01] lol [18:01] lol im just a noob [18:01] Mendel: what? To all computers? [18:01] Mendel: you should be careful with your devices. don't be lazy [18:01] sure I would if I knew what he was talking about [18:02] Mendel: plug it into your windows pc, or mac or whatever you use it in. [18:02] Mendel: then let it sync and do whatever iphone rubbish does, then in the bottom right you will see an icon [18:02] Mendel: if you have any file managers open close them or just reboot, then plug phone back in and see if it mounts [18:02] it charges but i want to download my music from my iphone to ubuntu [18:03] Mendel: you will see "safely remove hardware" and you can use that, then you can unplug [18:03] I would also make sure that I have the most recent lib of libimobiledevice [18:03] can some one help me with ati xfire on 13.10? here are my lspci, dmesg and aticonfig output. [18:03] http://pastebin.com/qDZFQSUh [18:04] Mendel: you unplugging it puts the storage in a bad state and causes issue, especially with proprietary stuff like iphones [18:04] ok thanks [18:04] and libusbmuxd1 [18:04] I have a launcher which is not working right. Is there a log file when you clik on an icon in unity? [18:05] pac1 yeah there are logs und /var/log but one can also run unity from the terminal to debug unity --replace [18:05] Mendel: never seen this: http://usbtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/safely-remove-hardware.jpg [18:06] hi. I use a Tenda R502 router. I enabled UPnP and also DMZ in the router but when I use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to check if I have an open port, it always give me error. I didn't use a firewall (in Ubuntu 12.04LTS). Why? [18:06] epsilon1: what is the error? [18:07] pac1: you can also look at the logs of lightdm compiz ect. But what do you mean the icons are failing ? [18:07] that site says my ports are closed [18:08] epsilon1: sounds like a router issue then. [18:08] this is the error: I could not see your service on 95.76..... on port (80) [18:08] epsilon1: can you access it ok over LAN? [18:09] I created my own launcher for eclipse, but it won't start eclipse. [18:09] yes, I accesed my router [18:09] I enabled UPnP [18:09] epsilon1: then how if this an ubuntu issue. The issue is in the router config. [18:11] ActionParsnip: I don't know. I only enabled UPnP and also DMZ host. I saved, I restarted router, modem and computer. But it didn't work [18:11] pac1: if you use the command to start eclipse you've put in the .desktop file (Exec=...) from terminal, does it work? does it give any errors? [18:11] epsilon1: can you access the service over LAN? [18:12] yes. no errors when starting from bash. [18:12] pac1: keep in mind that you need to specify the full path in the .desktop file, not relative to home [18:12] the router? Yes. [18:13] pac1: does the .desktop file have execute permissions? [18:13] epsilon1: then its a router issue, logically. I'd ask in ##networking [18:13] ah, ok. Thanks. [18:15] /j #php [18:15] So I've read on server fault about using DD to back up my drive. My question is, if it's a software raid 1, will this pose any issues? [18:15] glitsj16, no but none of the others do either. [18:16] trijntje, full path is included. [18:16] gdeeble: you would have to do an offline backup, for consistency of the backup. [18:16] debugging unity helped. [18:16] bekks So live CD and do my back up and I should be fine, right? [18:17] gdeeble: yeah [18:18] bekks Thank you. [18:19] uname -a [18:19] my mistake: in the desktop, I had two execs one with the full path, the second without. It was failing on the second. [18:20] thanks trintje and glitsj16 [18:20] pac1: good catch, yw [18:20] myNickisNick, where are the lightdm and compiz logs? [18:20] found a way to have lmms with VST support on ubuntu 13.10 for amd64 - got to install lmms from the PPA irie/lmms, anyway it installed the whole i386 environment, included libc, XOrg and wine, since libvestige does not build for amd64 yet...a fix would be probably needed on the trunk before the release of 14.04, the support for VST is very critical for lmms, and without them it becomes pretty usless (at least for me), it would be like [18:23] After resuming from suspend, my bluetooth mouse 'connects' as in I can see the bluetooth activity led blink when I move it, but the mouse does not move.

[18:53] gabriel, then you have a vicious cycle loop problem ,as actionparsnip suggested remove the 331 driver and the ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [18:54] ciencisto: olf *old [18:54] my ubuntu laptop wont boot and last time a buddy typed something into the the grub command line and got this laptap to go back to booting just fine, some sort of re-set thing... hangs when I try to boot. [18:54] Bashing-om: Alright. Unfortunately I have a recent AMD card and the open source driver is still not good enough... so I tried the proprietary driver from AMD's website [18:55] ciencisto: And, now you get a blcak screen ? [18:56] whats a good program I should get? [18:56] Bashing-om: Not yet, but I think I would if I rebooted. I got errors (possibly fatal) in my installation log : http://justpaste.it/dyxz [18:56] ciencisto: look'n at the pastie. I be back ! [18:57] Bashing-om: Alright, thank you so much! [18:57] whats a good program I should get? [18:58] Mendel: Depends of what you use? [18:58] ubuntu [18:58] Mendel: And what do you need? [18:58] gabriel, can you get to a virtual console/TTY , ctrl+alt+F1-F6 , then login and remove nivdia-331 [18:59] something interesting to play around with maybe something to trace someones ip [18:59] how can I kill a process which catches both Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z sequences?

[19:01] ciencisto: looks like the installer removed the failed install, can you get a terminal activated at this time ? will run a couple of commands and have a looksee. [19:01] idk something i can play around with [19:01] that was jus an idea [19:01] Bashing-om: The installation terminal is still opened [19:02] When i use kill() to send a signal from a child process to the pid of the parent (launched as root), the parent sigint handler isnt called. However, if i execute the child process using sudo from the shell, it works. Any idea why? thanks. [19:03] Whats the IM client built into Ubuntu?

[19:11] Bashing-om: Yes, I am on the open source driver and wanted to switch to the latest proprietary driver. Are you telling me that this failed installation should have done no harm to my graphics and that I can reboot?

[19:12] ciencisto: yep, should be safe to do so, I expect you to still have the open source driver available and used . [19:12] i checked my /lib/modules directory all the folders are in the form of 3.11.0-14-generic not .14 [19:13] Bashing-om: Alright. And what about the proprietary driver? Will I be able to install it if I retry of something? [19:14] icloud: why are you manually running that - it should be run automatically with the kernel update [19:14] is noatime necessary with a ssd?? [19:14] yeah i got that after installing the latest kernel [19:15] icloud: where did the kenrel come from ? [19:15] ikonia, so then i tried to manually rerun it [19:15] ciencisto: What is the need to go to the OEM driver ? That means is not for the faint-at-heart ! Have you tried "Additional Drivers" utility to remain with in ubuntu's package management system ? [19:15] !info linux-image [19:15] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.11.0.14.15 (saucy), package size 1 kB, installed size 33 kB [19:16] ikonia, from the repo, i just did sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic [19:16] Bashing-om: In the past months, I have tried at multiple times the Additionnal Drivers, and always they were either not working or slower than the open source driver, which is also slow. That's why I now want to install the OEM driver [19:16] icloud: while I'm not doubting you personally, it seems unlikley that a kernel would have the wrong directory from the main repo [19:17] icloud: that is a basic test that would get caught in pre-functional testing. [19:18] ikonia, yeah i understand i think there is something wrong with my update-initramfs, b/c actually all the old kernels have the same directory structure too. [19:18] icloud@icloud-X58A-UD3R:/lib/modules$ ls [19:18] 3.11.0-13-generic 3.11.0-14-generic 3.8.0-31-generic [19:18] icloud: again, that seems unlikely that updte-initramfs is a "problem" [19:19] ciencisto: ATI has moved the older (HD 3,4,and 5) cards to "leagacy, and no longer support them > what card do you have ? -> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga <- Maybe nada can be done.

[19:21] with random people or ? [19:21] ikonia, so is it possible to tell update-initramfs to look for the correct folder? or should i just rename the folders [19:22] Bashing-om: This is where I went: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64 [19:23] DRAMA-MAKER: With Ubuntu users, developers, and lovers! [19:23] icloud: I can't check the syntax, but I always thought it was possible to manually set it, but I'd be more worried about what's going on with your sysem [19:24] hmmm [19:24] ciencisto especially lovers , innit ? [19:24] :Ä [19:24] :D [19:25] Hi Guys , [19:25] ciencisto, don't ever install propertary ati driver from their website because there's a high chance it will break your X server because it's a generic installer. That's why Ubuntu (and many other distros) package their own catalyst drivers. [19:25] i'm runing a fresh saucy dist on an arm plateform [19:25] DRAMA-MAKER: Probably ;¬) [19:25] i got problem to compil soft with error like /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line [19:26] i have to add libs in makefile [19:26] i already compile those soft on other distro without adding libs [19:26] Pessimist: Let's say that I haven't read your username... But what should I do if neither of Ubuntu's drivers are good enough? [19:26] is there something to check ? [19:27] ikonia, yeah it is really weird i can't boot into the new kernel, but i can still use the old ones. [19:27] is noatime necessary with a ssd? [19:27] randomcpp: No. [19:27] ok thanks === james is now known as Guest47449 [19:28] randomcpp, i use that option [19:28] pacopad, I don't think this has to do anything with Ubuntu and we can't tell/guess what software are you trying to compile and what it has to do w/ ubuntu [19:28] anyone know why that i get a message that my firefox facebook plugin can't access my account? [19:28] for exemple X11 related soft [19:28] compdoc, what's the point to disable journaling with ssd? reduce rw operations? [19:28] ciencisto, catalyst has a shitty (pardon) 2d acceleration so if you have a older cpu you can't change anything. What GPU do you have? [19:29] i got to add -lX11 [19:29] i never do that with this soft on other distro [19:29] maybe i missed a special package on saucy ? [19:29] Pessimist: Gotta regret buying an AMD graphics for Windows 8... I have an AMD Radeon HD 6670 card [19:30] Hello how are you guys doing? I am wondering where games go when they get installed. I am using Ubuntu 13.10 and am installing free games from the software manager. Is there a folder these games go when they are installed? Or do I always have to search in the menu? [19:30] icloud: I just came in... which version of Ubuntu and which kernel version (I've seen 2 similar reports over the last few days) ? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [19:31] Guest47449: All programs are installed in a range of directories based upon the program content. To see where all files belonging to a package are installed do "dpkg-query -L " e.g. "dpkg-query -L mygame" [19:31] TJ-, i am using 13.10, [19:32] randomcpp, are you saying disabling 'last access time' is actually disabling journaling? [19:32] whats the ktrace equivalent in backtrack??? [19:32] 3.11.0-13 generic [19:32] ciencisto, free radeon driver should be in a pretty good spot for hd6xxx: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/. It comes by default w/ Ubuntu and you don't have to install anything. If you want the greatest and latest you can try this ppa (it MIGHT be buggy and break your system and it's unsupported here): https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Flaun [19:32] chpad.net%2F~oibaf%2F%2Barchive%2Fgraphics-drivers&ei=OW3EUqfVKKHH7AaJkoD4Dw&usg=AFQjCNHUnglaCk5d6zktd-L0b7WqtaeGvg&sig2=wfdZs0FSQ-bzmY2DScG5VQ&bvm=bv.58187178,d.ZGU [19:32] SORRY [19:32] Pessimist: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [19:32] TJ-, i can't boot into the latest kernel, [19:32] icloud: There have been reports that I tracked down to a failure of "update-initramfs" to correctly build the /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` file-systems [19:32] https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers (fuck you, google) [19:32] compdoc, nope just misspelled the question :/ [19:33] !language | Pessimist [19:33] Pessimist: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [19:33] forget the second question [19:33] Pessimist: Hahaha, now I see why you chose that nick [19:33] hi all - recently upgraded to 12.04.3LTS and discovered I have to manually load wireless driver module rt2800usb for networking, where prior to upgrade it would load by itself; where do I configure the automatic loading on boot? [19:33] compdoc, what's the point to disable access time with ssd? <- [19:33] ??? [19:34] Pessimist: Thanks, going to take a look now [19:34] TJ-, is there any solution to it? [19:34] ciencisto: Kids are in, This will have to wait for a few hours. [19:34] hi [19:34] adminewb1, edit /etc/modules and add rt2800usb there [19:35] someone can help me to understand th utility of dedicated server pls [19:35] thanks [19:35] Bashing-om: Alright, going to rely on others' help. Thanks for your support! [19:35] icloud: Yes. From a booted older kernel create/regenerate the bad initrd-img... if that is the cause. What specific errors do you see when it fails to boot? [19:36] Hi, are there other reasons for getting 'No key available with this passphrase' on 'cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 cryptdisk' then using the wrong passphrase? [19:36] hi guys someone can help me to understand th utility of dedicated server pls [19:37] ayiga: your going to have to be more specific than that [19:37] ssds have a limited amount of writes before they die. if you dont care about the last time a file was accessed, you can reduce the number of writes, and increase speed [19:37] maybe I need a encryption module loaded? [19:37] Pessimist : Alright, removing all fglrx and doing some cleaning and updating, then I'll try the PPA [19:37] hello all [19:38] on which way can i use th dedicated server, what is th advantage of dedicated server [19:38] what is a ktrace equivalent in ubuntu or can ktrace be installed??? [19:38] ciencisto, if you experience any issues you should fill a bug report for X and if you have any issues just use ppa-purge and reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati [19:39] TJ, i got black screen, can't drop to terminal. Then i booted the old kernel i got the fatal error when manually regenerating the initframs [19:40] What is gnome-flashback? [19:40] icloud: Is there a separate partition for /boot/ ? Has it run out of space (try "df") ? [19:40] Pessimist, how can I report a but for X? [19:40] yeah /boot is on a separate partition === zenix`away is now known as zenix` === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [19:41] TJ-, no it is only 50% used [19:41] icloud: Can you do "sudo update-initramfs -uvk all | pastebinit" (assuming you have pastebinit installed) ? [19:41] ciencisto, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg&component=Driver/Radeon and include as much relevant info as possible. [19:42] What's the default crypt method of the ubuntu installer with luks? Is it aes? [19:42] Pessimist: Alright, bookmarked. Just wondering, is there anything in Firefox that can make scrolling s*ck? [19:43] denysonique, gnome 3 had radical changes to the environment so they implemented a shell 'gnome-flashback' which is similar to gnome 2 and uses similar underlying technologies [19:43] ciencisto: sick? [19:43] ciencisto: suck? what is "s*ck"? [19:44] Pessimist: is this something supported, usable? I logged on using it but I am unable to set virtual desktops [19:44] gordonjcp: Yes, the latter. Scrolling is extremely laggy [19:44] ciencisto: have you disabled smooth scrolling? [19:44] Yes I have gordonjcp. It's even more painful [19:44] hm [19:44] ciencisto, if you just removed fglrx and didn't install radeon back then you are using vesa which doesn't use your gpu at all [19:45] true [19:45] using vesa would make *everything* suck, not just scrolling [19:45] TJ, update-initramfs is looking for /boot/config-3.11.0.14-generic instead of /boot/config-3.11.0-14-generic and also /lib/modules/3.11.0.14-generic instead of /lib/modules/3.11.0-14-generic, i created symlink to both places and it seem to have regenerated the initrd.img [19:45] TJ-, ok i will remove the symlinks and pastebin it [19:45] Pessimist: How can I install Radeon? I indeed think that I'm using something called Vesa-TURKS or something like that +gordonjcp [19:48] ciencisto, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection#Problem:_Need_to_purge_-fglrx then try installing xserver-xorg-video-ati [19:48] Pessimist and gordonjcp, I checked and I'm using xserver-xorg-video-ati right now. I wonder if it'd change if I rebooted [19:49] TJ-, here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/6674712/ [19:49] ciencisto, you must atleast reboot your X, idk if you have to reboot your computer [19:50] Pessimist, how can I do that? === phlx is now known as phelix [19:51] ciencisto, sudo service lightdm restart should probably work or just sudo pkill X [19:51] Pessimist: That is weird. All graphics are fine, the Dash is snappy, but scrolling in Firefox is atrocious. [19:52] icloud: Good... starting to see the issue... can you do "ls -latr /boot/ /var/lib/initramfs-tools/ | pastebinit" === alex12 is now known as alex12-afk [19:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6674731/ [19:54] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6674731/ [19:54] icloud: interesting two entreis with - and . [19:55] icloud: This ought to fix it: "sudo update-initfamfs -d -vk 3.11.0.14-generic" then do "sudo update-initramfs -uvk all | pastebinit" again... that should not fail. [19:55] How can I find all processes that are generating sound? [19:56] I've purged alsa and pulseaudio before and reinstalled, which seemed to clean up the buzzing. But it keeps coming back. === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [19:57] BrianH: what kind of buzzing? [19:57] TJ-: Uh, it's hard to explain. [19:58] BrianH: hum it? :p [19:58] I'm back [19:58] It's a constant "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" [19:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6674749/ === Webbnix is now known as MattsTechUK === Sky-Dreamer is now known as SkyDreamer === cubix``201 is now known as cubix` [19:58] !netsplit [19:58] TJ-, ok its fine now, thanks for your hlep === FR33N0D3 is now known as PR1M3-1NST1NCT === Guest89481 is now known as shah` === liquidsword_ is now known as liquidsword [19:59] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === Mikaela_ is now known as Mikaela [20:00] BrianH: A low-level buzzing can often be caused by a PC's internal audio cables (or external headphones/microphones) picking up stray signals from electrically noisy components ... does the sound seem to vary with the load on the PC ? === Vobine is now known as Psychoholic [20:01] TJ-: Nah, like I said, I can purge alsa and pulseaudio, reinstall and reboot, and the system is fine. [20:02] given that alsa is part of the kernel, one does not simply "purge alsa" [20:02] So. I have a new laptop, Lenovo G580. It works great, but the brightness drops to 0 every time Ubuntu boots (it's fine on BIOS POST stage), what gives? How could I make it keep the brightness at a normal level? [20:03] rww: alsa-base [20:04] and alsa-utils [20:05] I leave my system run 24/7, and typically don't realize the buzzing until I start working on it in the morning and turn on the speakers. === Don is now known as Guest39609 === cederfjard_ is now known as cederfjard === Punna is now known as Pwnna [20:09] !netsplit === neunon_ is now known as neunon === bnice is now known as Br|aN === Sprockt is now known as Sprocks [20:09] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[20:31] metadept: Sure thing. [20:31] !efi | metadept, please consult this. [20:31] metadept, please consult this.: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [20:33] well specifically, i installed ubuntu on a separate hard drive (24gb ssd) as a single partition without a swap partition, it seemed to work fine, but attempting to access some of the windows partitions gave me an error saying that windows hadn't shut down properly so they were locked [20:33] metadept: Windows 8 doesn't shut down fully when you say shut down. See e.g. http://www.howtogeek.com/129021/how-to-do-a-full-shutdown-in-windows-8-without-disabling-hybrid-boot/ [20:33] then when i booted into windows, it went into system restore and did a bunch of opaque operations, which broke the linux partition SOMEHOW such that it boots to recovery mode but not graphical === codethough is now known as codethought [20:34] (no idea about the second part of your issue, i have no experience with windows 8 system restore) [20:35] so part of my confusion stems from the fact that i have no idea what windows even did when it decided to "fix" things or why it would have any issue in the first place with something on a separate empty drive === alex12-afk is now known as alex12 [20:35] Windows 8 fast boot, creates error in Linux. It's a known problem, and there are good work around [20:36] danishman, thanks, i'll see if disabling that solves the issue [20:37] yes [20:37] where can I get help with scripts?

I didnt think Freenode would have that :P [20:41] Darkenvy: good to know thx === solsTiCe is now known as Guest48791 [20:44] Could anyone help me with ruby gems and ubuntu? === Guest80746 is now known as JanC [20:48] test === eric is now known as Guest12299 [20:49] hi all, I'm trying to encrypt a second drive on 12.04 lts but all i can find online is the full process for encrypting an os drive. Can someone point me to a good doc on just encrypting a second drive [20:55] devdvd, create a volume group on that drive then create volumes you want and encrypt it with cryptsetup [20:56] hey, what is the difference between a mainline and repo kernel? [20:57] vaio: The first does not contain the additional ubuntu patches of the latter. [20:57] vaio: The first one is build from the stock kernel.org sources. [20:57] oh ok [20:58] and the repo kernel, is shipped on the install medium/via updates? [20:58] vaio: Correct. [20:58] bekks: a guy on the launchpad error tracker asked me to submit a bug with the repository kernel booted [20:59] guess i'm clear then [20:59] thank you [21:00] vaio: you're welcome. [21:02] hey [21:02] how do i open magnet links in transmission? [21:05] jj_, add torrent by url or something like that ? [21:05] Pessimist: yes [21:06] Pessimist: thank you [21:06] i use transmission as default torrent client, but theres no option to open magnet with it === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [21:07] devdvd, then you can open it with cryptOpen (you probably have found some kind of article/tutorial -- it's pretty straightforward) [21:08] jj_, there is add -> add url on my transmission 2.51 [21:09] jj_, drag and drop not working? [21:09] Pessimist: but i want like, when i click the magnet link, it opens automatically in transmission [21:09] jj_: you've got to set /usr/bin/transmission-gtk as your preferred magnet protocol client in your browser, so when clicking a magnet url it gets sent straight to transmission [21:10] jj_: what browser do you use? [21:10] firefox [21:11] glitsj16: [21:11] it worked [21:11] jj_: ok, you can set it in firefox prefs > applications, search for magnet and assign transmission-gtk to it, you'll need to browse manually to /usr/bin [21:11] cool [21:11] i had to go to this directory: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk [21:11] then it worked [21:11] but if i type transmission to search, it doesn't find anything [21:11] strange [21:12] jj_: type transmission where? [21:12] in dash? [21:12] in that window that you choose the app to open [21:13] ah in firefox .. you need to look for torrent and assign the same /usr/bin/transmission-gtk to it i believe [21:14] jj_: you can only look for protocols/mime-types and assign apps, not the other way around [21:14] but, if i lookd for "transmission" shouldnt it return the transmission-gtk? === gordonjc1 is now known as gordonjcp [21:16] jj_: i don't think so no, because transmission isn't a content type [21:16] hi, i have a server with 2x1tb. when i look at gparted it shows sda nd sdb identical partitions with each being 1tb raid . When i look at the file system under system monitor it shows /dev/md2 as home and /dev/root with bot being only 1tb. Am i missing something? shouldnt i be seeing 2tb? [21:17] maybe i dont understaind raid [21:19] aloha all, i got a Xonar 7.1 and a 7.1 headphone, but i can not configure my ubuntu 13.10 at 7.1 i only can configure it at 5.1 any one can help me with that please? -.- [21:20] marcos: RAID-1 == mirror I'd guess you actually have something like sda1 + sdb1 = md1 mounted at /, and sda2 + sdb2 = md2 mounted at /home [21:21] yes ur actually correct [21:21] but shouldnt it shows as 2tb? [21:22] curiousx #better off in #ubuntustudio, i guess [21:23] Does anyone know if Ubuntu is secure?/ [21:23] oh thanks TJ- i got a link explaining raids [21:23] thank you again [21:24] jj_: How did you install transmission-gtk? [21:25] User338857585858, what do you mean? [21:25] it comes with ubuntu 13.10 [21:25] geirha: [21:25] jj_: Then it should've been available from the Dash, yes [21:25] I mean, the NSA seems to have owned just about everything... have the bough ubuntu as well??? [21:26] it is geirha [21:26] but its doesn't show up in the window of adding app to open magnet in firefox [21:26] Greetings & Happy New Year [21:27] jj_: Ah, maybe check if you have any transmission desktop files under ~/.local/share/applications === bill is now known as Guest69219 === snor- is now known as snoralx === Guest69219 is now known as bill_ === snoralx is now known as snorlax [21:28] MonkeyDust, ty [21:28] ill try that channel its a good idea, maybe they can help me :) [21:29] The operation was a success. I have now completed the debootstrap process and I'm running off my "new" disk. I also have my old failing disk mounted as an external device. I would like to restore all of my old applications, settings, data, etc. What's the best way to go about doing that? [21:29] curiousx: have you tried http://www.webupd8.org/2009/06/enable-surround-sound-in-ubuntu-linux.html yet? [21:29] jj_, if you set it in preferences and when you click on the magnet link it won't show any windows in firefox, it will just open transmission and show you the window of adding a new torrent there [21:30] jj_: Oh, nevermind. I see the transmission-gtk package doesn't register itself as a magnet opener [21:32] hi [21:33] I'm sure there must be a log file that has a record of all the apt-get installs I've done for starters? And perhaps another program that reads that file and can re-install those things - perhaps with interactive input so I can pick and choose what I want to reinstall? [21:34] Quick question about bluetooth. If I run "dmesg | grep Blue", it lists bluetooth devices, but when I go to the bluetooth preferences it says there aren't any devices found. [21:34] Sort of a like a backup/restore in a way? [21:34] apb1963: /var/log/dpkg.log [21:34] apb1963: No sort of backup/restore, just a log. [21:34] bekks: good starting point ty === jcd is now known as jcdietrich === dzieglerg is now known as dziegler_off [21:44] hey [21:46] Where is the best place to start when figuring out why an ubuntu 12.04 lts server has crashed? I know the time. The syslogd tells me nothing: Here is a snippet: http://pastie.org/8592187 [21:47] bjensen8_: kern.log, auth.log [21:48] bjensen8_: if it lost power you won't see anything (unless its on a UPS)... if the kernel panicked then unlikely the log file was synced to disk [21:48] bjensen: right. I asked the hosting center. they said they looked at their power usage graphs, no drops [21:49] TJ-: I mean [21:49] bjensen8_: The best place to start looking would be at the console, prior to rebooting the system [21:49] bjensen8_: then search all the logs to reconstruct the time it failed and work backwards from that point in all the logs to see if anything stands out [21:50] apb1963: Right Ive done that for syslog, nothing unusual is popping up. Only blocks by UFW [21:50] bjensen8_: How long was it from last entry before crash, to the reboot? Could that indicate a physical intrusion? [21:51] TJ-: 20 minuttes [21:51] bjensen8_: Not syslog... not any log. On the screen... prior to rebooting [21:51] apb1963: Um..how can I check that now? [21:52] bjensen8_: after taking a picture of that screen with a camera, then you can reboot and start looking at logs as TJ- is saying [21:52] bjensen8_: You can't. Now you know for next time it happens :) [21:52] its a U1, no screen [21:52] rack [21:53] that could be a problem [21:53] then ssh in and wait for it to break [21:53] TJ-: Sorry I just checked again its 8 minuttes. Which I think is reasonable because it does a lot of temp calibration etc when starting from the bios [21:53] not that it helped me === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [21:54] I believe there's a way to redirect the console to a log file on a remote machine... I don't remember how to do it though. [21:54] andyfied: It will not help - in case of a kernel panic, your ssh connection dies, too. [21:55] and to be honest... I don't know if it would help in the instance of a kernel panic [21:55] The only thing in the kern.log within 30 min of the shutdown is UFW blocks. So perhaps a malformed package to make the server crash? [21:55] package = packet [21:55] oh, didn't read up far enough for kernal panic, but i thought there was only two things you could find out from that anyway, sync or no sync to disk [21:55] I remember reading about packets of death a long time ago, but it was a fairly rare situation [21:57] bjensen8_: Do you have remote KVM to it? If so set up a logging monitor on it in case it happens again... could be a developing hardware fault [21:58] Hello again [21:58] How can I install jsattach? [21:59] Any ideas? [21:59] bjensen8_: TJ- had a good thought... do a memtest on it [21:59] TJ-: I could order it yes [22:00] What package is it contained in? [22:00] there isn't any kind of mamaboard test is there? [22:00] apb1963: can I do memtest from within ubuntu? [22:00] bjensen8_: you can install memtest86+ and reboot into it. [22:01] bjensen8_: you would need a console. [22:01] bekks: yeah I was hoping I could perform a test from within ssh [22:01] not while it's running afaik .... you have to run it from a boot [22:04] ok ill see if it happens again and then order a kvm at the hosting center [22:04] I can use memtest if I have kvm, right? [22:05] I also wanted to run memtest while the machine was up... but you have to figure that at best, it could only test memory not currently in use... otherwise it would have to keep rearranging memory allocations and I don't think that's even possible in ubuntu - specifying where in memory a program will run? That would be something. [22:06] I mean it could be done... I just don't think the kernel is designed that way - but then I'm just guessing. === Dark-Ace-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [22:20] sup yo === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [22:22] Hi I think about installing a newer kernel on 12.04 via linux-generic-lts but what does eol stand for?

Saucy will continue to work after it is EOL but you will get zero updates and zero community support [22:31] Hello, I need a multithreaded version of grep for searching in a file which make 1TB. Does any one know a working version? thanks [22:32] ActionParsnip I see, but what is the difference between these two packages: linux-generic-lts-saucy-eol-upgrade linux-generic-lts-saucy ? [22:33] !info linux-generic-lts-saucy-eol-upgrade [22:33] Package linux-generic-lts-saucy-eol-upgrade does not exist in saucy [22:33] Rhagu: where are you getting the package from? [22:33] sudo apt-cache search linux-generic-lts on ubuntu 12.04 [22:34] linux-generic-lts-saucy is a backport of saucy kernel to ubuntu 12.04 [22:34] Rhagu: that command doesnt need sudo? [22:34] ActionParsnip: it's in precise and precise-updates [22:34] Rhagu: it doesnt. Stupid keyboard [22:34] Rww: i see [22:35] It is the other one with eol in it, which I do not know what it is good for [22:36] rhagu: For updating from already EOL versions. === hub is now known as Guest58152 [22:42] !nomodeset [22:42] 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 [22:43] hello, what do people call the "try Ubuntu" session when you boot from an install USB? [22:43] do they call that the liveUSB? [22:43] shahan123123: Yeah. [22:43] bekks so (running with the quantal kernel) instead of installing the next version via linux-generic-lts-raring I would just do linux-generic-lts-quantal-eol-upgrade? [22:44] rhagu: Only when your Ubuntu release is EOL. [22:44] what does it do if it isnt? [22:45] i see, i got a "could not write bytes: broken pipe" error at boot, and am now using Ubuntu 12.04 liveUSB [22:45] shahan123123: Does it matter? Does it work for you? [22:45] rhagu: I cant tell, I am running supported releases only. [22:46] shahan123123: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [22:46] F [22:47] bekks I am not sure whether I understand your answers correctly, but you know, that "linux-generic-lts-saucy-eol-upgrade" is a package that can be found via apt-cache search on a ubuntu 12.04.0 install? [22:48] jhutchins: ActionParsnip, i had a working install of 12.04 going for a while on my laptop, it was the only OS on there and recently i got the broken pipe error it won't boot at all and running form the liveUSB kinf of sucks it is a 32GB usb and wireless won't work [22:51] I think I have a corrupt ext4 partition, but when I attempt to run fsck.ext4 on it, it tells me that it isn't a valid ext2 partition... [22:51] shahan123123: Will the machine boot to the Recovery session (Hold down shift as the machine starts to boot to get the GRUB boot-loader menu, then navigate the grub menu to locate the "Recovery ..." option [22:51] Is there another way that I'm not aware of to fix ext4 partitions in Ubuntu? [22:51] Hello, I have a question about virtual systems and real systems. Does one of the options has an advantage considdering the space on the harddrive? [22:54] Guido1: No. [22:54] Guido1, The advantage of virtual is running more that one os at a time not the space. [22:54] TJ-: yeah i've been to the recovery and can use a TTY for some stuff, but "fix broken packages" didn't help, what can i do in recovery mode? failsafe graphics mode does nothing it just blinks [22:55] rhagu: If you are running an EOL version of Ubuntu, you should use the -eol-upgrade kernel package - if your release is still support, you dont have to use it. [22:55] Beldar, bekks: Okee, I already thought that. thanks [22:55] bekks I see, thanks === nathan is now known as Guest93620 [22:56] shahan123123: It can be caused by a couple of issues. The first is mistmatches with the video card drivers (especially nvidia), the other is a user profile file created by the X display server that simply needs deleting ( "rm /home/$USER/.Xauthority" - replace $USER with your username) [22:57] I also have another question. I'm using seamnkey and firefox on xubuntu. some websits ask if it is allowed to get information about the location. if i say "yes" it doesn't work. if i use the same browsers on windows xp it works. so i assume that it has to do with xubuntu. [22:58] TJ-: hmm I saw that on a thread/Askubuntu thing before and i know my laptop doesn't have nvidia [22:58] TJ-: I sudo rm .Xauthority in home directory and it didn't fix it... :( thanks for the help though [23:00] shahan123123: Create a new clean user profile and try logging into that; if it works, you know the cause is something specific to the main user profile ("sudo adduser test") [23:02] TJ-: oh i disabled the 'ask for password' at login and I get the error .... hmm is there a way to enable the ask for password from the tty? or root shell prompt? [23:02] anyone got the ati drivers working in 13.10 with dual monitors? [23:04] TJ-: i mean like since, I set it up to auto login and bypass the user and guest screen password prompt screen, the error shows up automatically right? [23:04] TJ-: since it goes straight to my user account [23:04] I also have another question. I'm using seamnkey and firefox on xubuntu. some websits ask if it is allowed to get information about the location. if i say "yes" it doesn't work. if i use the same browsers on windows xp it works. so i assume that it has to do with xubuntu. [23:05] shahan123123: Check the "/etc/gdm/custom.conf" file, "AutomaticLoginEnable=False" will do it I think [23:07] is there any application to watch TV for linux [23:07] Anyone got any idea why I'd be getting this message when I attempt to do an ls of a directory "ls: cannot access workarea: Input/output error"??? [23:07] I dont have TV card [23:08] TJ-: hmm i seem to not have a 'gdm' folder in etc... what does that mean? lol in root directory right? [23:09] shahan123123: Hmmm, I thought 12.04 had GDM as its display manager... maybe it had moved on to lightdm ... long time since I used it with GUI [23:10] shahan123123: OK, it is lightdm [23:11] TJ-: oh ok so "/etc/lightdm/user.conf"? [23:11] hey all. certain x apps look really miscoloured. i have a feeling it is my nvidia module [23:12] TJ-: oh what there is lightdm and users.conf [23:13] shahan123123: remove "autologin-user" entries from "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" "[SeatDefaults]" section [23:16] TJ-: cool that makes sense, this is one of the 5 lines left is it okay?: "autologin-session=lightdm-autologin" ? [23:16] pvl1: laptop or external monitor? [23:18] shahan123123: I'm not entirely sure... the version I have here seems quite different from what is in 12.04 [23:19] Hi guys! Does any of you guys know how to get libudev-dev working on ubuntu 12.04? [23:20] ZoltaNman: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? Specifically what happened instead? [23:21] The error I get is /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1: no version information available. I have installed libudev-dev, libc6, multiarch-support and ia31-libs [23:22] TJ-: okay i'll try that [23:22] anyone got the ati drivers working in 13.10 with dual monitors? [23:22] TJ-: i dropped to root in this liveUSB session and adduser'd test [23:24] shahan123123: If you're in a liveCD session you are editing only the live session, not the installed OS on the hard disk [23:24] usage hdmi and vga will be good [23:24] jhutchins: external monitor. television actually [23:25] quas: i don't have vga, only hdmi and DVI [23:25] pvl1: Did it suddenly change? [23:25] sad [23:25] shahan123123: You need to boot from the installed 12.04, hold down Shift as soon as the BIOS hands over to the GRUB boot-loader, and from the GRUB boot menu, navigate the sub-menu to the "Recovery..." option... that'll boot to a single-user non-GUI session where you can make the changes [23:25] jhutchins: after a kernel upgrade, and i reinstalled nvidia module. perhaps i should justtry to reinstlal module again. is glamoregl neccessary? [23:26] pvl1: Check your cable. [23:26] jhutchins: but everything else works fine... just vlc is blue [23:26] TJ-: oh i seem to have made the changes from a "sudo -i" in this liveUSB session... but i'll check again when i reboot into recovery, thank you. [23:26] ZoltaNman: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? Specifically what happened instead? [23:28] cian1500ww: /win 3 [23:29] jhutchins: I am trying to run cgminer. The error I get is /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1: no version information available. I have installed libudev-dev, libc6, multiarch-support and ia31-libs. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:33] www.mafia2lug.com super mafia game! come and you [23:33] danydany: no advertising, please [23:34] ok === quas is now known as vasya === vasya is now known as quas [23:41] ZoltaNman: I presume that's a bitcoin thing? It looks like some component of it is unable to determine the version of libudev - why it needs that who knows. Sounds like poor coding/packaging. Try a different miner? Get support from the project?
