| idueppe | Bashing-om, grub-install says "cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/crypt_root. So what is going wrong? | 00:07 |

| catalase_ | hello | 00:09 |
| catalase_ | can anyone explain to me what the parameters -rf and -la do | 00:09 |
| melvinsh | as in rm -rf and ls -la? | 00:10 |
| catalase_ | i am assuming those are two parameters put together, as in -r and -f and -l and -a respectively | 00:10 |
| catalase_ | yes | 00:10 |
| catalase_ | would rm -r -f be equivalent? | 00:10 |
| darkelfjuggalo1 | I am running ubuntu 13.10 on a Laptop... I am in an area where the Ethernet will work better than the Wifi, but when I plug in my Ethernet it says that my Ethernet is not managed... what do I need to install? | 00:10 |
| melvinsh | yes they are put together | 00:10 |
| gvo | assumption correct | 00:10 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| catalase_ | but what do those parameters do exactly | 00:11 |
| gvo | man rm and man ls | 00:11 |
| melvinsh | you can find out by yourself by checking out the manual pages | 00:11 |
| catalase_ | oh interesting | 00:11 |
| catalase_ | i am reinstalling ubuntu now | 00:11 |
| catalase_ | i will do so when it is up thx u | 00:11 |
| melvinsh | good luck! | 00:11 |
| gvo | If you type man ls into a browser search window you might find some useful information too. | 00:12 |
| xatr0z | darkelfjuggalo1: it means network manager doesnt manage that device | 00:13 |
| xatr0z | maybe you (or something else) configured it manually in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 00:13 |
| darkelfjuggalo1 | I can't get it to work with the cord in and the Wifi turned off | 00:13 |
| xatr0z | how do you turn off wifi, with a hardware switch? | 00:14 |
| gvo | darkelfjuggalo1: Reboot? | 00:14 |
| whatisthematrix | yea, i did it! | 00:14 |
| Bashing-om | idueppe: I do not remember a lot about raid, most levels of raid require that grub be installed outside of the arrays. | 00:14 |
| whatisthematrix | hi all | 00:15 |
| frybye | torchat is pretty cool aint it.. wow... | 00:17 |
| frybye | does it run on sp8 somehow...? | 00:17 |
| idueppe | Bashing-om, well I have here to VMs. One I installed ubuntu 12.04 server via guided installation with raid > lvm > luks and it works. In the 2nd I'm trying to debootstrap ubuntu but stuck at the grub-install. But somehow it should work. | 00:18 |
| DeHackEd | Maybe this is beyond unsupported... so I tried to install ubuntu by debootstrap into a CentOS contianer. It's installed, but udev refuses to finish configuring (can't mknod due to security) so the install isn't really complete... can I override that somehow? | 00:19 |
| gvo | DeHackEd: Openvz? | 00:19 |
| DeHackEd | gvo: LXC | 00:19 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I rebooted, turned my Wifi off and my Ethernet still is not working... what driver[s] do I need to install to use Ethernet | 00:19 |
| gvo | OK it was a problem with Openvz once upon a time. | 00:19 |
| DeHackEd | user namespaces enabled, so 'mknod' is permanently locked out. | 00:19 |
| gvo | DeHackEd: does lxconsole work? | 00:20 |
| xatr0z | darkelfjuggalo: are you turning wifi off with networkmanager or some hardware switch on your laptop? and is the device manually configured in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 00:21 |
| DeHackEd | not yet. I'm accessing it using lxc-attach to just invoke a shell within it. init (systemd) pretty much seized on startup | 00:21 |
| DeHackEd | this is lucid right now. can't distupgrade it yet | 00:21 |
| gvo | DeHackEd: If you can, try to remove udev. | 00:21 |
| Beldar | darkelfjuggalo, run in the terminal lspci and identify the hardware to the channel. | 00:21 |
| darkelfjuggalo | xatr0z disconnecting from the wifi in the network manager at the top of my unity | 00:22 |
| DeHackEd | tried that, it wanted to remove a bunch of other important stuff as well (including upstart itself) | 00:22 |
| xatr0z | darkelfjuggalo: and if you turn wifi on, wifi works but cable doesnt? even if you unplug the cable and insert it again? | 00:22 |
| darkelfjuggalo | Cable will not work at all | 00:23 |
| xatr0z | ah it didnt before? ok. misread the question | 00:23 |
| xatr0z | then check if the device is manually configured in the file /etc/network/interfaces | 00:24 |
| darkelfjuggalo | lspci output: http://pastebin.com/qcx1gQnJ | 00:24 |
| DeHackEd | gvo: there is some code in the udev config script to deal with some types of containers. was able to force it to treat my system the same... so one problem solved... | 00:24 |
| gvo | DeHackEd: That's good. | 00:24 |
| catalase_ | hmmm | 00:27 |
| catalase_ | i keep getting authentication failure when i try su | 00:27 |
| DeHackEd | next problem is that apt seems to be missing its repositories... wow, I really screwed this one up... | 00:27 |
| catalase_ | i lost the root password somehow? | 00:27 |
| catalase_ | anyway to correct that lol | 00:27 |
| xatr0z | darkelfjuggalo: by googling AR8161 i see a lot of people with the same problem, the solution was to recompile the kernel to include drivers for the ethernet card | 00:27 |
| xatr0z | but im not sure if its still needed | 00:28 |
| DeHackEd | catalase_: ubuntu prefers use of sudo. if you want a root shell, you can use "sudo bash" or "sudo su [-]" | 00:28 |
| catalase_ | oh DeHackEd, i did sudo passwd | 00:28 |
| catalase_ | and then it prompted me for new root password | 00:28 |
| darkelfjuggalo | sorry if someone responded to the output, my internet was unplugged becuase someone couldnt watch their movie on netflix | 00:29 |
| xatr0z | :) | 00:29 |
| whatisthematrix | i worked hard on compiling/configuring/hacking and hacking my system for a long time for e18 and it finally paid off! whew | 00:30 |
| darkelfjuggalo | So, is there any other advice from the lspci output i received? | 00:30 |
| catalase_ | DeHackEd, it is not good to send password in plaintext over ssh right? | 00:30 |
| DeHackEd | catalase_: it's not bad, as long as you know the keys for the session correct. (ie. no man in the middle attack) | 00:31 |
| catalase_ | how can i get it to display my root passwod | 00:32 |
| catalase_ | if i am root | 00:32 |
| Bashing-om | idueppe: I have no experience with Virtual Machines, checking my notes for my old raid set up, I installed grub to the MBR of each drive. | 00:32 |
| DeHackEd | catalase_: well your password is hashed/encrypted in /etc/shadow typically. it's can't be reversed. | 00:32 |
| ulkesh | catalase_: maybe reset it? http://www.faqforge.com/linux/reset-root-password-ubuntu-linux-without-cd/ | 00:39 |
| Gr4cchus | Question, if a program is installed without its package dependencies then would that become broken? And if broken is that were apt-get build-dep <package_name> comes into play?? | 00:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Gr4cchus, no, build-dep will install source dependencies. You need to remove the package, or install the dependencies manually. You might be able to fix it in synaptic as well. | 00:42 |
| Gr4cchus | is synaptic even that useful anymore after they got ubuntu software center? | 00:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Gr4cchus, yes. It's all I use. | 00:44 |
| whatisthematrix | Gr4cchus: do you want to try, or have you tried? --> apt-get -f install | 00:44 |
| Gr4cchus | whats the command to install packages manually? | 00:44 |
| whatisthematrix | all i use is aptitude here | 00:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Gr4cchus, sudo apt-get install packagename | 00:45 |
| Gr4cchus | i dont have any problems, just curious and confused after reading about packages and aptget on the ubuntu documentation | 00:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Gr4cchus, or dpkg -i filename.deb | 00:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Gr4cchus, what's confusing? | 00:46 |
| whatisthematrix | Gr4cchus: or 'sudo apt-get install <package_name>' | 00:46 |
| Gr4cchus | ah ill try reading it again later | 00:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Gr4cchus, apt is meant to be a front-end to dpkg, and is newer that dselect. There are front-ends to apt, which make apt easier, such as synaptic and aptitude. | 00:49 |
| idueppe | <Bashing-om> I tested my script without luks just raid (1) > lvm and it works. But as son I change it to raid (1) > lvm > luks it crashs | 00:50 |
| catalase_ | ulkesh, i believe i changed the root password | 00:50 |
| catalase_ | i did sudo passwd | 00:50 |
| catalase_ | and it pulled up a unix password changer thing | 00:50 |
| DeHackEd | I'm trying to update from Lucid to the latest version following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/QuantalUpgrades (section 2.3) and it tries to install Maverick and fails. | 00:50 |
| SadlyMistaken | DeHackEd» I HAD A problem very similar. | 00:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Gr4cchus, software center is a front-end to apt, but doesn't have all of the features of synaptic (because features are confusing to newbs) | 00:51 |
| ulkesh | catalase_: my point is, if you cannot remember the root password, you can always change it via recovery....sudo passwd assumes you know the original in the first place | 00:51 |
| SadlyMistaken | because Maverick doesn't feel my wifi broacast | 00:51 |
| DeHackEd | SadlyMistaken: well in this case I think it's not available since it's discontinued. so it just plain can't download the packages | 00:52 |
| DeHackEd | admittedly this system is a bit broken out of the gate... | 00:52 |
| Pessimist | I thought to start a project called something like 'Theme Manager'. It would detect / let you choose your desktop environment and let users grab themes / fonts / icons from various websites for that desktop environment and let you easily manage them. Would anybody be interested in this and maybe there is a place where I can post these kind of ideas? | 00:52 |
| DeHackEd | maybe I should just try to reinstall fresh from something newer | 00:53 |
| Beldar | DeHackEd, Your next supported release after 10.04 is 12.04 | 00:53 |
| glitsj16 | darkelfjuggalo: have you got ethernet working yet? | 00:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Pessimist, this exists for kde and gnome already. | 00:53 |
| darkelfjuggalo | no i havent i had to move back where i was | 00:53 |
| DeHackEd | Beldar: I'm okay with breaking off the LTS train... | 00:54 |
| Pessimist | Seven_Six_Two, what's it called? | 00:54 |
| Beldar | DeHackEd, and that means what? | 00:54 |
| glitsj16 | darkelfjuggalo: what does "uname -r" output ? | 00:54 |
| DeHackEd | Beldar: that upgrading from an LTS release to non-LTS is fine. | 00:54 |
| ulkesh | kde-look isn't that good of a site design imo...needs a web 2.0 modern design....haven't seen the gnome one | 00:55 |
| Beldar | DeHackEd, Your only reasonable upgrade is to 12.04 you can go above after, a fresh install is what I would do. | 00:55 |
| mines12 | DeHackEd: Better do a clean install of 13.10 I would say | 00:55 |
| evilbug | what is the advantage of using tar.gz over zip? i'm comparing some archives i've made recently and i see that bot zip and tar.gz are the same size. | 00:55 |
| DeHackEd | mines12: the catch is I'm doing it from a debootstrap install and that's... proving tricky. installing an old version and then performing an upgrade isn't working so hot either. | 00:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Pessimist, I was a bit wrong. I was thinking about gnome-shell.org which allows you to install extensions for gnome-shell from the web. | 00:56 |
| Burrito | hey, is anyone here familiar with the details of the ath9k_htc driver (specifically ANI and its debugging utility)? I am having a problem where I activate ATH_DBG_ANI, but the file disable_ani doesn't appear in debugfs. | 00:56 |
| === picca_ is now known as picca | ||
| Seven_Six_Two | Pessimist, I might be interested in this. What languages can you program in? | 00:57 |
| Bashing-om | idueppe: Regretfully, you are beyond my sphere of knowledge. | 00:57 |
| Pessimist | Seven_Six_Two, English. I think this kind of program would be popular among users because it's a trivial and tedious task to go to various websites like gnome-look.org and download, extract, copy everything. I think about using python + some kind of toolkit | 00:58 |
| Seven_Six_Two | evilbug, tar.gz are tar + gzip, zip is just zip | 00:58 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Pessimist, programming languages, not spoken. I might choose Py for that too. | 00:59 |
| isosceles | hi, i am trying to determine if my usb hub problem is rooted in the hubs themselves, or in the operating system. the problem is that a variety of devices do not function or do not function properly when plugged into a hub. anyone want to take a stab? | 00:59 |
| rww | evilbug: .tar.gz maintains permissions and ownership, .zip doesn't | 00:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Pessimist, are you at least familiar with git? | 00:59 |
| rww | evilbug: or rather, .tar does. .tar.gz is a .tar file compressed by gzip | 01:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | isosceles, the devices might require more throughput than the hub can do. Like webcams with old hubs, or anything usb3 with a non-usb3 hub | 01:00 |
| Pessimist | Seven_Six_Two, yes. I think I might start a forum thread in ubuntuforums.org | 01:00 |
| evilbug | Seven_Six_Two, rww: yeah, i'm aware of tar and tar.gz. my question was more along the lines of compression since i read that tar.gz offers lower file sizes than zip which i'm not really experiencing. | 01:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Pessimist, pm me the link when you start it. | 01:01 |
| rww | evilbug: all statements like that vary in truth based on what you're compressing... | 01:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | evilbug, oh sorry. you are really talking about zip vs gzip then, as tar doesn't compress. you can also look into bzip2 which is better but slower than gzip. | 01:02 |
| Pessimist | Seven_Six_Two, https://github.com/GiedriusS/theme-manager -- I've had this idea for a while. Need to update the description though because it should include icon/mouse sets | 01:02 |
| rww | or .tar.xz, which tends to be better than bzip2 | 01:02 |
| isosceles | Seven_Six_Two: i have one usbs hub and only run usb2 devices through my usb2 hub. basically the hubs are useless | 01:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rww, nice! my turn to learn. | 01:02 |
| === fade is now known as Guest87033 | ||
| Seven_Six_Two | isosceles, what devices, and how many of them? | 01:03 |
| isosceles | Seven_Six_Two: i mean"usb3" not "usbs" | 01:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | isosceles, if your computer is old, or you're unlucky, your computer either doesn't have usb3, or not all of the ports are usb3. | 01:04 |
| evilbug | Seven_Six_Two, rww: ah, ok then. to be fair i haven't really used gzip much, always stuck more to zip since it's more common but was curious if gz compresses better. | 01:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | isosceles, I'd guess the latter, if you're not overloading the hub. | 01:04 |
| glitsj16 | darkelfjuggalo: you should try installing the linux-image-extra-... packages for your kernel(s) to get the driver | 01:04 |
| isosceles | Seven_Six_Two: on the usb3 hub -- led strip (works), extrnal hard drive (beeps at me), analog-to-digital sound card (doesn't work) | 01:04 |
| isosceles | Seven_Six_Two: 1 year old system76 | 01:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | evilbug, yeah, and gzip/bzip2/xz all integrate with tar, which is better than just zip. | 01:05 |
| isosceles | Seven_Six_Two: i use the appropriate ports | 01:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | isosceles, is the external hd powered, or does it use usb power? | 01:05 |
| isosceles | Seven_Six_Two: usb power. note that the usb3 hub is powered with an adapter | 01:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | isosceles, interesting. does the hd work if it's the only thing plugged? | 01:06 |
| isosceles | Seven_Six_Two: yes. i believe it works though the hub as well, but it beeps repeatedly | 01:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | isosceles, I focus on that since it's driver will be in the kernel already. | 01:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | isosceles, no beeps if connected directly? I would suggest checking output of dmesg just after plugging in hd (without display and audio card) | 01:08 |
| isosceles | Seven_Six_Two: i misread the question. even if the hd is the only device, still beeps | 01:08 |
| evilbug | Seven_Six_Two: ok, i'll look more into those. at the moment i run "tar -czvf" to make a gz, is there a way to add a progress bar to that? | 01:08 |
| evilbug | Seven_Six_Two: or some sort of progress display in %? | 01:08 |
| catalase_ | if you create a directory and it already exists, will it overwrite that directory? | 01:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | evilbug, not that I know of...sorry | 01:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | catalase_, mkdir: cannot create directory ‘aa’: File exists | 01:10 |
| evilbug | Seven_Six_Two: noooooooooo!!!1 | 01:10 |

| Pessimist | universal, try the commands on the link I gave you. If nothing else I think you may have hit a bug | 02:51 |
| apb1963 | shreezbot: verification in my terms means restoring it and confirming it's doing what you want it to do . | 02:51 |

| shreezbot | ext4 partitions are "EFI GPT" partitions, correct? | 02:52 |
| apb1963 | shreezbot: try smartctl, testdisk as whatisthematrix stated, and there's always fsck as glitsj16 mentioned | 02:53 |
| apb1963 | shreezbot: Can you access anything on the disk? Or is the whole disk kaput? | 02:54 |
| glitsj16 | shreezbot: ext4 is a filesystem, nothing to do with partition table type | 02:54 |
| shreezbot | apb1963, I can access some things on the disk with no problems... | 02:54 |
| Pessimist | shreezbot, for uefi booting there has to be a gpt partitioned partition formatted with fat32 (ef00 on gdisk) so I don't think that's a ext4 partition | 02:55 |
| shreezbot | apb1963, Actually, I'll say, I can access MOST things on the disk... | 02:55 |
| shreezbot | Pessimist, It isn't my boot partition | 02:55 |

| whatisthematrix | apb1963: dlocate -S /usr/bin/locate --> locate | 03:37 |
| Beldar | Phlow, yes there are multi iso loaders to usb's | 03:37 |
| Beldar | Phlow, the usb is not a uefi | 03:37 |

| whatisthematrix | apb1963: i would. i use it a lot | 03:38 |
| apb1963 | whatisthematrix: ok you and glitsj16 duke it out and tell me which one I should use | 03:38 |
| universal | thats what I'm saying....I have a local mirror just mirrors of ubuntu repository, so I only do apt-get install and it fetchs all the debs from local mirror | 03:38 |
| Phlow | Beldar, with UEFI that is | 03:38 |
| whatisthematrix | apb1963: i use both | 03:38 |
| universal | glitsj16: thats what I'm saying....I have a local mirror just mirrors of ubuntu repository, so I only do apt-get install and it fetchs all the debs from local mirror | 03:39 |

| Beldar | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 03:39 |
| whatisthematrix | apb1963: locate is used to find stuff on your system, and as glitsj16 said dlocate is " a fast alternative to dpkg -L and dpkg -S" | 03:39 |
| glitsj16 | universal: ow okay, srry for the misunderstanding | 03:40 |
| Beldar | Phlow, uefi is the computer setup the usb need just be a fat32 like usual. | 03:40 |
| universal | glitsj16: when I'm installling the it via apt-get or dpkg offline, its downloading a tarball, I have downloaded that tarball also, so I want to install the same offline | 03:40 |
| DoverMo | it seems as though the current versions of vlc make audio quite distorted. what's a good alternative? | 03:40 |
| apb1963 | whatisthematrix: I've been using 'whereis' and 'which' for years... locate is better? | 03:40 |
| whatisthematrix | locate is for finding files on the filesystem. i also use whereis | 03:41 |
| glitsj16 | apb1963: they do different things | 03:41 |
| whatisthematrix | apb1963: they're all good | 03:41 |
| Phlow | Beldar, yeah, I get that, I just don't know why it always goes to Windows 8 installer. The only way to get it into the YUMI grub menu is going back to legacy | 03:41 |

| Phlow | Beldar, trying to reimage my new laptop to dual boot | 03:45 |
| Beldar | Phlow, I have not had to mess with a windows loader for this task, If it were me I would do the W8 with the usb, then load the ubuntu and install, then use the app I linked you with on ubuntu to have a multiusb setup. | 03:48 |
| Beldar | Phlow, If you are re-imaging the W8 make sure you have the correct activation key. | 03:49 |
| Phlow | W8 is already installed, need to get ubuntu installed and a grub menu to switch between them, with UEFI enabled (and preferably secure boot on | 03:50 |
| Phlow | If I have to wipe the usb stick and only have one UEFI boot on it, I'll do that.. I just don't know what to even use to create that for ubuntu. | 03:53 |
| Phlow | clearly YUMI can't do it | 03:54 |
| Beldar | Phlow, To be honest I'm not exactly sure what your issue or end goal is, seems to just be a install of ubuntu within certain requirements you want, which may or may nit be possible, take a look at thos thread for additional install info. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 03:56 |

| DoverMo | somsip, what's your preferred audio and video playback software? | 04:18 |
| glitsj16 | universal: did you add the local mirror to your /etc/apt/sources.list? | 04:18 |
| universal | glitsj16: yes | 04:18 |
| [[thufir]] | I'm using transmission, and it works fine for some torrents. for other torrents, it never seems to start. (anything from the pirate bay doesn't start) | 04:20 |
| glitsj16 | universal: and even after a sudo apt-get update it doesn't let you install from the local mirror? | 04:20 |
| DoverMo | [[thufir]], argh, don't be a pirate | 04:20 |
| universal | glitsj16: no | 04:20 |
| glitsj16 | universal: i found http://askubuntu.com/questions/135339/assign-highest-priority-to-my-local-repository .. rather long but interesting | 04:21 |
| universal | glitsj16: are you aware of the methods for offline installation of ttf-mscorefonts-installer and flashplugin-installer ? I wanna do the same with ttf-mathematica4.1 | 04:21 |
| glitsj16 | universal: apparently the place you put the local mirror line in /etc/apt/sources.list is important | 04:22 |
| glitsj16 | universal: if those are in your local mirror too it should be the same routine | 04:23 |
| intense | hey gang, trying to dual-boot 12.04.3 and Win 8 on a G75VW Laptop; Win 8 Runs, but GRUB will not load; Here is my boot-repair dump: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6676492, any ideas? Thanks in advance. | 04:23 |
| universal | glitsj16: in offline installation of ttf-mscorefonts-installer, we do -> echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/dldir string path/to/fonts | sudo debconf-set-selections then sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer and it installs all the fonts correctly so what I wanna find out is the command inplace of msttcorefonts/dldir | 04:24 |
| [[thufir]] | dovermo: I wrote to amazon, and they said that they won't sell mp3's to canada -- so, when that changes, I'll be glad to download from amazon. | 04:25 |
| universal | glitsj16: if one disconnects from net then its all same and it will ultimately take the files from local mirror | 04:25 |
| intense | boot-repair says that I have installed on sda6 a Linux version which is not EFI-compatible - but I am trying to use 12.04.3 which should be compatible, right? | 04:26 |
| glitsj16 | universal: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list? the echo to set-selections seems rather hackish | 04:27 |
| universal | glitsj16: echo set-selections method is posted on askubuntu and ubuntuforums | 04:28 |
| universal | http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=836751e glitsj16 | 04:29 |
| glitsj16 | universal: sure, but it doesn't seem to work for everything in your mirror .. or i completely misunderstand your situation | 04:30 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| glitsj16 | universal: i would try to put all local mirror lines at the top of that file, so they have precedence .. after that run a sudo apt-get update and try to install something to double-check the local mirror is used | 04:32 |
| universal | well for flashplugin-installer its echo flashplugin-installer flashplugin-installer/local string path/to/tarball | sudo debconf-set-selections then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer so again I think it depends on the 2nd command in echo line flashplugin-installer/local like msttcorefonts/dldir incase of ttf-mscorefonts-installer, apparently I figured out that the 2nd command is folder name of debs from ubuntu repos with loc | 04:33 |
| universal | glitsj16: ok I | 04:33 |
| glitsj16 | universal: what i don't understand is why you would use that command if you have put the local mirror into the sources.list (which purpose is to be able to use apt-get as usual) | 04:34 |
| universal | glitsj16: ok I'll do that but I dont think its gonna be of any help coz I disconnect from net then do all this otherwsie the scripts will directly download tarball from their respective parent sites | 04:34 |
| glitsj16 | universal: i think that is happening because your local mirror isn't having priority | 04:35 |
| universal | glitsj16: well you know that there are four types of repos, free, community maintained nonfree etc and proprietry so the debs are ok in local mirror but the fonts are in tarball like flash from adobe | 04:36 |
| === pacopad_ is now known as pacopad | ||
| glitsj16 | universal: i get that part, can't see a way round that by using a local mirror .. maybe you need to look into using apt-cacher-ng | 04:38 |
| universal | glitsj16: apt-cacher-ng ? throw some light | 04:39 |
| glitsj16 | !apt-cacher-ng | universal | 04:39 |
| glitsj16 | universal: that's a caching proxy server for software repositories | 04:40 |
| glitsj16 | a central machine hosts the proxy for a local network, and clients configure their APT setup to download through it | 04:41 |
| universal | glitsj16: there is 2nd methos also -> sudo apt-get install package then sudo dpkg-reconfigure package which asks for path/to/tarball and then afterwards installs the package properly again but incase of ttf-mathematica4.1 its not happening | 04:41 |
| universal | well if you can give it a try with both methods and apt-cache-ng, its only 3-4mbs in total with debs and tarball combined | 04:42 |
| glitsj16 | universal: perhaps because ttf-mathematica4.1 is a dummy package, have you tried method2 with mathematica-fonts ? | 04:43 |
| universal | yes but nothing happening | 04:43 |
| hydrian | ello all | 04:45 |
| universal | ttf-mathematica4.1 is package name and mathematica-fonts is the name of the folder in ubuntu repos for its package files | 04:45 |

| hydrian | I'm trying to get 12.04 to work with my OpenLDAP for nss. I'm using nslcd for ldap lookups. It is partially working. | 04:47 |
| universal | glitsj16: if you want, I will transfer the local mirror files to you, give it a try | 04:47 |
| glitsj16 | universal: i'm obviously not being of much use for this issue | 04:48 |
| oaulakh | anyone know something about how to install aircrack? | 04:48 |
| oaulakh | on ubuntu | 04:48 |
| hydrian | If I do a general 'getent passwd' everything works great. If I do a 'getent passwd USERNAME' I get nothing. | 04:48 |
| rww | oaulakh: install the "aircrack-ng" package from your preferred package manager (e.g. sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng) | 04:48 |
| hydrian | I know that there are valid entries. | 04:49 |
| glitsj16 | universal: i get better than in the beginning what your problem is, but unable to come up with anything usefull :) | 04:49 |
| cammylewis | I have a problem with partioning drives - running 13.10 -im not sure how to do it | 04:49 |
| oaulakh | i install it but its not working exactly that one in backtrack | 04:49 |
| hydrian | oaulakh: I would just install Kali in a VM. Many of those type programs need low level changes that often break normal usage. | 04:51 |
| Beldar | cammylewis, Can you be more specific, for example what is installed now, and it's release, and what you want to install or do with the partitioning. | 04:51 |
| rww | yep. kali in a VM or liveusb would be my preference too, personally | 04:51 |
| intense | hey gang, trying to dual-boot 12.04.3 and Win 8 on a G75VW Laptop; Win 8 Runs, but GRUB will not load; Here is my boot-repair dump: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6676492, any ideas? Thanks in advance. | 04:51 |
| glitsj16 | universal: this might shed some light on apt-cacher-ng --> http://www.distrogeeks.com/install-apt-cacher-ng-ubuntu/ | 04:52 |
| oaulakh | is it means i cant use this in ubuntu? | 04:52 |
| rww | oaulakh: you can, but it's obviously not going to work the exact same way as in backtrack or kali | 04:52 |
| rww | and most of the instructions online for doing that sort of thing use backtrack or kali, for fairly obvious reasons | 04:53 |
| hydrian | oaulakh: You can, but it will probably take more than the normal time to configure. Also you may break other programs in the process. | 04:53 |
| cammylewis | in basic terms -while installing i cant install alongside win 7 so i have to partition room for ubuntu and im not sure how to do it | 04:54 |
| oaulakh | ohh god | 04:54 |
| oaulakh | then i think, i should not use | 04:54 |
| oaulakh | this | 04:54 |
| Beldar | intense, I would post that here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post10871917 | 04:54 |
| hydrian | kali / backtrace has most / all of quarks fixed for you. | 04:54 |
| Beldar | cammylewis, Can you open gparted on ubuntu and take a screenshot of it and imagebin it? | 04:55 |
| intense | ok thanks Beldar | 04:55 |
| Beldar | intense, It looks like you made a msdos install on a HD that has been a gpt at one time, looks a bit messy is all. | 04:56 |
| universal | glitsj16: I wanna find out that 2nd command in echo line and then it should install fine....msttcorefonts/dldir incase of ttf-mscorefonts-installer with msttcorefonts being folder name of ubuntu repo and flashplugin-installer/local incase of flashplugin/installer with same name of folder in ubuntu repos | 04:56 |
| hydrian | oaulakh: Use the right tool for the job. Ubuntu is a great desktop and general server OS. It is not meant to be a security pen test kit. | 04:56 |

| somsip | !aptitude | hellyeah | 06:29 |
| ubottu | hellyeah: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter multiarch problems on non-updated 12.04 installs, see http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 06:29 |
| somsip | hellyeah: the relevant bit is the multiarch error you have in your output | 06:29 |
| hellyeah | yes | 06:30 |
| hellyeah | i should avoid using aptitude? | 06:30 |
| rww | hellyeah: why don't you have debconf installed? | 06:30 |
| somsip | hellyeah: it's recommended to use apt-get and to run with sudo, not as root | 06:30 |
| hellyeah | i installed ubuntu yesterday | 06:30 |
| hellyeah | i used sudo -s | 06:30 |
| hellyeah | rww: i installed ubuntu yesterday | 06:31 |

| somsip | hellyeah: which is running as root, not with sudo. Sometimes it's necessary, but best only to do it when you must | 06:31 |
| somsip | helpme: current should be 5.5. Check your /etc/mysql/my.cnf and enable the error log if you need to. Then you can see why it isn't starting up properly. | 06:31 |

| hellyeah | i dont have debconf package is that even possible? | 06:33 |
| somsip | hellyeah: looks to my untrained eye like you need to config multi-arch. I believe this is a consequence of mixing aptitude and apt-get. | 06:33 |

| q0 | any help apprecaited | 07:14 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: Oh... Hm... What OS does the PC currently run? | 07:15 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: You may be able to use QEmu to install to the hard drive if it's a Linux. | 07:16 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: (or, for that matter, you can boot the ISO with Grub) | 07:16 |
| cpt_othello | theadmin, windows 7. gotta keep a windows version on here for work and school | 07:16 |
| aeon-ltd | q0: can't render images on a browser? i'm not entirely sure what you're describing, but a screenshot and forum post might be better than waiting on irc | 07:16 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: Eh, I just keep Windows in Virtualbox for those purposes. So much less hassle. | 07:16 |
| aeon-ltd | q0: the browser 'links' or hyperlinks(on a webpage)? | 07:17 |
| q0 | the browser links | 07:17 |

| cpt_othello | theadmin, yeah i've been pudging around on centos in a vm to see if it would work that way. I'll check out QEmu. | 07:18 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: It won't work from Windows... But, on Windows you *can* use Virtualbox to install to another HD | 07:19 |
| cpt_othello | theadmin, tried to follow a tutorial i saw on the ubuntu forum but for some reason i can't seem to find the lh_* commands | 07:19 |
| cpt_othello | theadmin, yeah i'll look into that. likely will just do it. tired of this partition | 07:20 |
| GFXTamer | theadmin: How is VMWare compared to VirtualBox is it any better? | 07:20 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: Do: "C:\Program Files\VirtualBox\vboxmanage.exe" internalcommands createrawvmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0 -filename C:\raw.vmdk | 07:20 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: Then load up the VMDK in Virtualbox as a hard drive. That will let you install to your *second* hard drive directly. | 07:21 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: Well, that is, don't use the one Windows is on. | 07:21 |
| cpt_othello | :p | 07:21 |
| theadmin | cpt_othello: Numbering starts with 0, so second drive would be \\.\PhysicalDrive1 | 07:21 |
| theadmin | GFXTamer: I haven't used VMWare much. Can't say I ever had any problems with Virtualbox though, works greatly for everything I tried. | 07:21 |

| theadmin | Guest79554: Right. Boot an Ubuntu LiveCD and run GParted from there if you need to manipulate the system drive. | 07:43 |
| Guest79554 | therefore the disscussion is permissible within this chat | 07:43 |
| somsip | Guest79554: but this bickering is not. Come on. Call an end to it | 07:44 |
| Guest79554 | So I think i'll report you for bullying and controlling within a chat room | 07:44 |
| theadmin | Guest79554: That's the only way to do it. Infact, what Windows partitioners do is inject a thing in the Windows bootloader that loads on the next reboot and does the resize, similar to how you'd use a LiveCD. Soo. | 07:44 |
| Guest79554 | By dictating incorrect rules | 07:44 |

| === kevin is now known as Guest45898 | ||
| Guest45898 | I agree with him tho paritioning is a real pain with Linux | 07:52 |
| Nicnm | stupid question, changing the folder to root would that keep the files from moving? | 07:53 |
| theadmin | Nicnm: Ownership? Yes, but it'd also stop regular users from writing to it. | 07:53 |
| Nicnm | changing folder owner to root* | 07:53 |
| Nicnm | what about sub dir? | 07:53 |
| Guest45898 | I guess thats why they give you the options in the begining during the installation, but demands change | 07:53 |
| theadmin | Well, boot an Ubuntu CD and run GParted from it... It's easy enough. | 07:54 |
| theadmin | Well, DVD, considering. | 07:54 |
| Guest45898 | Yes I too would like not to have to always log out of Ubuntu and load up a live CD just to make a parition | 07:55 |

| Gallomimia | remove kernel 3.12 | 07:58 |

| Gallomimia | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/ only has 2 of the needed 3 .deb's | 07:59 |

| john_rambo | I just erased Fedora and installed Ubuntu. After installation I wasnt able to login to my account coz I am using the existing home folder and there must be some file permission problem. SO i logged in as guest and created another account but problem is that is account is not part of the sudo .....WHat to do ? | 08:00 |
| Gallomimia | yikes. i have some autoclean to do :/ | 08:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: yup: missing http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_all.deb | 08:01 |
| helpme | somsip , for example when i write this command service mysqld status i see unrecognized service | 08:01 |
| Gallomimia | oh. duh. i install that | 08:01 |
| somsip | helpme: so what happens when you try to start the service. What command do you use? | 08:01 |
| helpme | service mysqld start | 08:02 |
| helpme | somsip | 08:02 |
| Gallomimia | okay that's a reboot... i wait | 08:02 |
| somsip | helpme: why are you not using 'sudo service mysql start' ? | 08:02 |
| helpme | hob failes to start , i already tried it | 08:03 |
| helpme | "job falies to start " | 08:03 |
| helpme | somsip | 08:04 |
| Gallomimia | sounds like an indicator that something is wrong | 08:04 |
| somsip | helpme: both times you have pasted the command you use, you have type 'service mysqld'. It's not. It's 'service mysql'. Are you typing this correctly? | 08:04 |
| Gallomimia | conf bad perhaps? | 08:04 |
| helpme | i tried both , im new in linux commands | 08:04 |
| Gallomimia | hitsujiTMO: next i will run this: amd-driver-installer-radeon-hd7790-12.101.2.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run ||| does this sound wise to you? | 08:05 |
| theadmin | Gallomimia: No no no | 08:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: no | 08:05 |
| theadmin | Gallomimia: Use the drivers from the repositories | 08:05 |
| deper29 | helpme: use tab completion, it makes your life much easier | 08:05 |
| theadmin | Gallomimia: sudo apt-get install fglrx | 08:05 |
| Gallomimia | hmmmmmmmm | 08:05 |
| helpme | ok | 08:05 |
| somsip | helpme: did you enable the error log? Can you paste your /etc/mysql/my.cnf using pastebin? | 08:05 |
| Gallomimia | right on | 08:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: if you want a later driver use a ppa. don't install directly from amd | 08:06 |
| Gallomimia | don't really care WHAT driver, as long as it works :) | 08:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | :P | 08:06 |
| Gallomimia | driver-from-floss-community > driver-from-corporation | 08:06 |

| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: what gpu do you have again? | 08:06 |
| theadmin | Gallomimia: Eh, fglrx is still the AMD driver from the "corporation". | 08:07 |

| Gallomimia | some kind of oc edition | 08:07 |

| Gallomimia | theadmin: i'm assuming the repo one is better tuned or setup to go with the distro i'm on | 08:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: ahh yeah. cool. with the newer kernel try testing the radeondriver now and see how it handles | 08:08 |
| theadmin | Gallomimia: Well, yes, the installation process is also automated (obviously) | 08:08 |
| Gallomimia | eh, it's been reasonable for the last three months | 08:08 |
| Gallomimia | but lots of crashes | 08:08 |
| theadmin | Gallomimia: If it fails and you SUDDENLY boot to a console, do sudo apt-get remove fglrx | 08:08 |
| Gallomimia | alas i'm not sitting at the machine right now | 08:08 |
| Gallomimia | i guess, that's another reboot? | 08:08 |
| theadmin | Gallomimia: Ah yes, you need to reboot to get the driver to activate properly | 08:08 |
| theadmin | Could mess with insmod/rmmod but I'm not into that | 08:08 |
| Gallomimia | yeah i'm not either | 08:09 |

| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: no. use the value from your envvars file | 08:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | theadmin, okay contacting support then...it's wierd it works now after each restart after the initial boot after it has been off one night | 08:16 |
| Gallomimia | well, cgminer won't run... can't determine why. i might need to go sit at the machine and test a game to be sure | 08:16 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, or XAUTHORITY=/home/cristian/.Xauthority | 08:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: yup. thats more like it | 08:17 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, with or without doueble-quotes? | 08:17 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, for example: declare -x DISPLAY=":0" | 08:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: either. there's nop spaces so no need to quote | 08:17 |
| cristian_c | ok | 08:17 |
| cristian_c | thanks | 08:17 |
| theadmin | q0: bind -x '"\C-l": clear' # This seems to do the trick. | 08:18 |

| cristian_c | the only tty that didn't return input/output error with cat | 08:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: sweet. and did you see the raw output with cat? | 08:22 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, I don't know, because I can't make working a joystick and a gamepad with the serial port | 08:22 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, no output with cat | 08:23 |
| cristian_c | with the mouse | 08:23 |
| koivula | is catalyst straight from ati working for someone in 13.10/x86? | 08:23 |

| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, it appeared in xinput list | 08:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: cool | 08:23 |
| theadmin | koivula: Probably not, and don't see why it should. Use the repository version. | 08:24 |
| helpme | somsip , when i go to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock , there is no file called mysqld.sock there | 08:24 |

| cristian_c | *resoruce | 08:24 |
| cristian_c | but the mouse worked | 08:24 |
| helpme | but when i go to /var/lib/mysqld/mysqld.sock i see my dataases there , but i cant so any query there | 08:25 |
| somsip | helpme: yes. The error message tells you that. Because that file is created when mysql is running. And it's not. And you need to know the error. Which should be output to the error log. Which is why I keep asking you about it | 08:25 |
| helpme | but i went to syslog , i could not find error message there | 08:25 |
| somsip | helpme: we're going round in circles. Enable your error log or paste your /etc/mysql/my.cnf | 08:26 |

| theadmin | koivula: Eh. In general, always use software from the OS repositories, unless it's totally necessary to do otherwise. | 08:29 |
| Nicnm | so whats the super key? | 08:30 |
| theadmin | Nicnm: It normally has a Windows logo on it. | 08:31 |
| Nicnm | oh i like name | 08:31 |

| Nicnm | i gotta go clean my super key... bad windows logo | 08:32 |
| koivula | theadmin, well earlier closed graphic drivers have been a bit of an exception, at least has been. But I haven't used Linux in a desktop for a while, so I don't know how up-to-date are OS repository versions. | 08:32 |
| theadmin | koivula: They may not be up-to-date, but they are at least tested... | 08:32 |
| theadmin | Up-to-date isn't always the best with some software, drivers inclusive. | 08:33 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, a question: the XAUTHORITY export muste be before or after the DISPLAY export? | 08:35 |

| orca_ | aaronmehar yes | 08:55 |
| somsip | helpme: does it have anything that gives any information at all? | 08:55 |
| theadmin | orca_: You don't download drivers from websites, you use the ones Ubuntu provides. | 08:55 |
| geirha | kiran_: It should've been there already, so question is how it got removed in the first place | 08:55 |
| theadmin | Because otherwise you could badly mess up your system. | 08:55 |
| helpme | both , mysql.err and mysql,log are empties :S | 08:56 |
| orca_ | theadmin my repositories are dead, | 08:56 |
| theadmin | orca_: Ah, using an old version of Ubuntu? | 08:56 |
| kiran_ | hmm....no idea because this is the first time am trying use ubuntu... | 08:56 |
| aaronmehar | theadmin: you can do both... I use the Nvidia from their site, as it makes my 3 screens work.. Ubuntu attempt to make nvidia are OK but not as good as those from them | 08:56 |

| kngharv | help on ubunutu migration from 32bit precise to 64bit saucy, but this is more of an general upgrade question: how to upgrade files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d automatically? | 08:56 |
| kiran_ | just installed some apps and other stuff | 08:56 |
| somsip | helpme: so repaste your my.cnf showing the general_log and general_log_files. I need you to do what I ask if you want me to help you | 08:56 |
| helpme | ok , just sometiems i dont know how to do what u want ,so dont angry please at me | 08:57 |
| theadmin | kngharv: "upgrade"? | 08:57 |
| kiran_ | deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse | 08:57 |
| geirha | kiran_: that grep should output two nearly identical lines; one starting with 'deb ', the other with 'deb-src ' | 08:57 |
| orca_ | theadmin I think there's a limit to how many distro I can update to | 08:58 |
| somsip | helpme: I only want to ask you once. Second time is frustrating. Third time, I start to give up | 08:58 |
| kiran_ | only 1 line | 08:58 |
| theadmin | orca_: You can upgrade directly to the next release of your branch | 08:58 |
| kiran_ | that i copied | 08:58 |
| helpme | dont give up please , im totaly new in linux command line | 08:58 |
| kiran_ | only with deb | 08:58 |
| orca_ | but I'm 3 releases behind | 08:58 |
| theadmin | orca_: Oh, dear... 8.something then? | 08:58 |
| kngharv | @theadmin: well, not really, I am duplicating my distro to another computer, upgrade the distro version and move to 64bit at the same time. | 08:58 |
| orca_ | theadmin yes | 08:58 |
| helpme | im using virtualbox , just i dont know how to copy the text from vurtual box to windows | 08:58 |

| kngharv | @theadmin, i am trying to preserve all my personal settings | 08:59 |
| somsip | helpme: you've been told how to use pastebinit by two people. Install it and use it. | 08:59 |
| theadmin | orca_: Hm, yes, an upgrade is not feasible in that situation. You can use the Ubuntu installer and point it to the old root though, it will try to restore the packages and save settings as much as possible. | 08:59 |
| somsip | !pastebinit | helpme (last time...) | 08:59 |
| === j is now known as Guest85631 | ||
| ubottu | helpme (last time...): pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:59 |
| kngharv | @theadmin : my frustration is that I don't know how to update the sources files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 08:59 |
| geirha | kiran_: Well, if you edit that file, copy paste that line and just change deb to deb-src on the copy, you should be able to get the kernel sources with the apt-get source command you had earlier | 09:00 |
| Beldar | kngharv, @ is not used here tab complete nicks. | 09:00 |

| oquidave | is it possible to duo-boot opensuse 12.3 and ubuntu 13.10? thanks | 09:06 |
| md_nfs | geirha, tell me when we need full path of command instead of only command | 09:06 |
| md_nfs | ? | 09:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: can you also run: dpkg --get-selections | pastebinit | 09:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | oquidave: yes | 09:07 |
| helpme | is not enough this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677377/ ? | 09:07 |
| geirha | md_nfs: Shouldn't really need full path to commands. You update the PATH variable instead. | 09:07 |
| somsip | helpme: paste 'sudo ls -la /var/lib/mysql | pastebinit -b' | 09:08 |

| MarkDavies | Hi. | 09:08 |
| MarkDavies | sort +0f +0 -u filenames - why does the option +0 appear twice here? | 09:09 |
| kngharv | theadmin: thanks | 09:09 |
| ikonia_ | MarkDavies: depends on what you are trying to do | 09:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: can you also run: dpkg --get-selections | pastebinit | 09:09 |
| MarkDavies | ikonia_: it's a command I took from a book. There is said that +0 appears twice because the identical lines may not be adjacent. But what does the one thing have to do with the other? | 09:10 |
| helpme | somsip i got : read on stdin for imput or takes a filesname as first paramter optional arguments () | 09:11 |
| helpme | .. | 09:11 |
| ikonia_ | MarkDavies: well, that syntax isn't valid for "modern" sort versions | 09:11 |
| ikonia_ | MarkDavies: I suspect the book is either a.) old b.) for a unix OS that use an older/custom sort binary | 09:12 |
| helpme | sudo ls -la /var/lib/mysql | pastebinit -b | 09:12 |
| helpme | somsip | 09:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: where did you install mysql from and have you modified /etc/mysql/my.conf yourself? | 09:12 |
| MarkDavies | ikonia_: The book is old and it is primarily intended for Unix System V. | 09:12 |
| oquidave | anyone, please | 09:12 |
| ikonia_ | MarkDavies the not unique comment though is in relation to the output so you are sorting unique - and then "double checking" you've got unique due to output alignment | 09:12 |
| ikonia_ | MarkDavies: ok, so that explains it | 09:12 |
| kiran_ | I think its working now...thanks! | 09:12 |

| helpme | hitsujiTMO , mysql was working fine , then i umported huge database , then i could not access again | 09:13 |
| kiran_ | oh....same error | 09:13 |
| kiran_ | :( | 09:13 |
| somsip | helpme: ok. I was guessing that would work. I want to check that /var/lib/mysql is owned by mysql:mysql and all of the contents are owned by mysql:mysql. Maybe you can just check that yourself using sudo ls -la /var/lib and sudo ls -la /var/lib/mysql | 09:13 |
| ikonia_ | oquidave: you'll need to work this through with the suse guys but basically your ubuntu "grub" is pointing at your suse /boot | 09:13 |
| hellyeah | i supposed sendmail was installed by default | 09:13 |
| ikonia_ | oquidave: this is one of the huge failures of grub2 as a dual boot system | 09:13 |
| kiran_ | E: Unable to locate package linux-source-3.8.0 | 09:13 |

| somsip | helpme: ok. It's just not up to date which is not helpful, but so be it. So, check those files ownership I mentioned before. | 09:17 |
| MarkDavies | does the Ubuntu's sort have a way to select specific fields? | 09:18 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: ubuntu uses the standard gnu sort | 09:18 |
| MarkDavies | ikonia: and there is no such a way, yes? | 09:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: can you pastebin the output of: dpkg --get-selections so we can know what exact packages we're dealing with? | 09:18 |
| somsip | MarkDavies: example to build from, using aws http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3832068/bash-sort-text-file-by-last-field-value | 09:18 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: I'd have to look, I don't know all the 300+ syntax options from memory | 09:18 |
| somsip | *awk, not aws | 09:19 |
| somsip | MarkDavies: no sorry. That might have been totally wrong... | 09:19 |
| helpme | hitsujiTMO , the command is dpkg --get-selections ? | 09:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: yup | 09:20 |

| kiran_ | same error | 09:21 |
| helpme | hitsu , i see list and beside it install | 09:21 |
| kiran_ | E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-source-3.8.0' | 09:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: can you run: dpkg --get-selection | pastebinit and paste the url here | 09:22 |
| helpme | ok | 09:22 |
| MarkDavies | OK, assuming that in the example given above we had sort +f0, the next zero would be unnecessary? | 09:23 |
| helpme | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677444/ | 09:23 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: that sort is not the same sort as in ubuntu | 09:24 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: so please stop asking about system v based sort questions | 09:24 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: we deal with ubuntu here | 09:24 |
| MarkDavies | ikonia: OK | 09:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: ok. so it is indeed mysql 5.5 from the 12.04 repo that you have installed. so there has been some customisations to the my.conf. | 09:25 |
| helpme | what i should do ? | 09:26 |
| helpme | i did not touch my.cnf file , just i imported huge database , then i could not connect to database again | 09:27 |
| helpme | maybe i need free space ? | 09:27 |
| somsip | helpme: df -h would be a good idea... | 09:27 |
| helpme | what df -h ? | 09:27 |
| somsip | helpme: but I still would like to see you check permissions for the mysql files in case something got messed up there. (shows disk space) | 09:28 |
| helpme | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677463/ | 09:29 |
| somsip | helpme: and there you go. If the disk is full, you can't write logs. Hence, no errors. And I need to go now so I'm done here | 09:29 |
| helpme | somsip | 09:30 |
| helpme | please tell me , how to make space ? | 09:30 |
| helpme | u guys so kind , but please i want to know how to make space then connect to db again | 09:31 |
| llutz | helpme: 1st step: sudo apt-get clean | 09:31 |
| helpme | i did this before | 09:31 |
| MarkDavies | so in Ubuntu's sort language it will be "sort -k1 -f -k1 -u test" and I cannot see the reason why two occurences of "k1" are necessary | 09:31 |
| helpme | and i just run it again | 09:31 |
| llutz | helpme: next get rid of all old kernels except the actual and the one before maybe | 09:32 |

| paul_zil | I've plugged in my logitech rumblepad2. | 09:34 |
| paul_zil | and it has placed buttons in the wrong placed. | 09:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: the best thing to do is to resize the virtual drive up, then boot a live cd with gparted and resize up the filesystem. | 09:34 |
| paul_zil | the game does not offer me the ability to re-map or set buttons differently. | 09:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: if you ran out of space when importing the database then most likely you'll have to do it again. | 09:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | helpme: it may be easier to start with a fresh vm as other parts of mysql may have become corrupt | 09:35 |
| helpme | my databse for testing | 09:35 |
| helpme | i have many databasese , some of them are not important | 09:35 |
| paul_zil | does what I have written make sense? | 09:36 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: -k1 is not the same | 09:36 |
| MarkDavies | ikonia: why? | 09:37 |
| helpme | hitsujiTMO , i have tried to resize the virtual machien , but i could not | 09:37 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: because it does different things | 09:37 |
| MarkDavies | ikonia: +0 is the beginning of the line in System V, as +k1 is in Ubuntu's sort. Am I missing something? | 09:37 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: yes, they are different commands | 09:37 |

| helpme | i did this command | 09:42 |
| helpme | nothing changed | 09:42 |
| MarkDavies | Anyway, I got it. The standard doesn't guarantee that the lines written in various combinations of small and capital letters, and identical otherwise will be arranged so that the exactly identical lines will be adjacent. That is why the second sorting. I've just checked it (on Ubuntu). | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme: install and run bleachbit as user and root, have as many applications closed as possible and watch options which say they will take a long time, also check settings you use as it may remove settings you want to keep | 09:43 |

| user23234 | i trying to mount from live usb | 10:06 |
| Pessimist | user23234, I think it is already mapped. Is there a directory /dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-6499a305-2074-457e-9bab-65fe007458fa-uid0 ? | 10:07 |
| kiwitinker | how do i find the ip address that ubuntu is using to connect to my lan? | 10:08 |

| llutz | helpme: du -sch /var/lib/* and, surprise, /var/lib/mysql will be the biggest | 10:10 |
| user23234 | what else i can try todo ? | 10:10 |
| MarkDavies | how does the command "cat filename | tr -sc A-Za-z '\012' " work? It breaks the contents of the filename into words seperated by newline characters, but how is it done? | 10:11 |
| MarkDavies | how does the command "cat filename | tr -sc A-Za-z '\012' " work? It breaks the contents of the filename into words seperated by newline characters, but how is it done?\ | 10:11 |
| Pessimist | user23234, hmm, what's the output of cryptsetup isLuks /dev/sda1 ? | 10:11 |
| helpme | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677634/ | 10:11 |
| user23234 | there is output at all | 10:11 |
| user23234 | i get no output with this | 10:12 |
| llutz | MarkDavies: 'man tr' "replace all chars not in A-Za-z with \012, repeat until end of line" | 10:12 |
| helpme | yes , mysql , but i removed one of the databases ,but like nothing changed | 10:12 |
| Pessimist | user23234, then echo $? | 10:12 |
| user23234 | 0 | 10:13 |
| user23234 | echo $? brings 0 | 10:13 |
| cristian_c | llutz, can I paste it? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: you aren't wrong | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme: have you tried shrinking databases | 10:14 |
| Pessimist | user23234, what's the output of ls /dev/mapper ? | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme: or logs | 10:14 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: thank to captain obvious | 10:14 |
| helpme | nop | 10:14 |

| user23234 | control udisks-luks-uuid-6499a305-2074-457e-9bab-65fe007458fa-uid0 | 10:15 |
| cristian_c | llutz, the strace output | 10:15 |
| llutz | cristian_c: pardon me, early in new year. what strace.... | 10:15 |
| Pessimist | user23234, try to mount then: mount /dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-6499a305-2074-457e-9bab-65fe007458fa-uid0 /mnt | 10:16 |
| MarkDavies | llutz: ok, thanks, I've almost got it, but why the replacement of '\012' with \n gives another effect? \n is claimed to mean a newline | 10:16 |
| helpme | ActionParsnip , i dont know how to do that | 10:16 |
| cristian_c | llutz, you have told me to type the strace command for qtconfig-qt4 | 10:17 |
| Pessimist | user23234, did it return any errors? What's the output of ls /mnt ? | 10:17 |
| cristian_c | llutz, I've generated a strace.out | 10:17 |
| llutz | MarkDavies: sry \012 is linefeed, not newline | 10:18 |
| MarkDavies | oh, it should be "\n" | 10:18 |
| user23234 | yes i get errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677657/ | 10:18 |
| MarkDavies | then, it works fine | 10:18 |
| llutz | cristian_c: ah ok, your ignored configfile, i remember. is it being read at all (should be in the strace.out then) | 10:19 |
| Pessimist | user23234, cryptsetup status udisks-luks-uuid-6499a305-2074-457e-9bab-65fe007458fa-uid0 ? It's really weird though | 10:19 |

| ActionParsnip | sac: do you stil get the same error messages exactly the same? | 10:32 |
| * cfhowlett wonders if the Mint team could a slightly better job of informing users of support options | 10:32 | |
| sac | ActionParsnip, after authenticating directly the putty window just closed, I'll check the ssh -v localhost command | 10:33 |
| ikonia | cfhowlett: it's actually quite well done in their documentation, and they changed the default irc channel | 10:33 |
| cristian_c | llutz, http://pastebin.com/dytmJwnk | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sac: try specifying ssh ver 1, when you connect. Just to test | 10:34 |
| llutz | cristian_c: and the configs filename is? | 10:34 |
| sac | ActionParsnip, well now I see this "/bin/bash: No such file or directory" | 10:35 |
| cristian_c | llutz, i think it uses Trolltech.conf | 10:35 |
| user23234 | <Pessimist> dont leave me ! :D | 10:36 |
| sac | ActionParsnip, /bin/bash is in the correct path! | 10:36 |
| llutz | cristian_c: it's opened succesfully (even if i down't know what returncode 7 is (-1 would be error), so no idea why your settings are ignored | 10:39 |
| cristian_c | llutz, ok, I'll ask in #qt | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sac: maybe its permissions on the bash file | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sac: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 959168 Mar 30 2013 /bin/bash | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sac: what OS is the server on? | 10:41 |
| sac | Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.5.0-23-generic i686) | 10:42 |
| sac | ActionParsnip, I have the same permission on my /bin/bash file | 10:43 |
| cfhowlett | sac, FYI current ubuntu is 12.04.3 so you missed a point release | 10:43 |
| sac | cfhowlett, yeah I know its not the latest but I found people working with my same version | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cfhowlett: current LTS, current ubuntu is Saucy ;) | 10:46 |
| cfhowlett | ActionParsnip, D'oh! right, right. | 10:46 |
| cfhowlett | ActionParsnip, I sometimes forget, not everyone is LTS only like I am. | 10:46 |
| sac | Is the /bin/bash no such file error related to ChrootDirectory %h option? | 10:47 |
| olgac | ubuntu tr link please | 10:47 |
| ObrienDave | I will be at next release ;P | 10:47 |

| ubottu | sac: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:48 |
| ikonia | sac: what the hell are you doing | 10:48 |
| llutz | sac: sure you need a complete set of binaries the chrooted users want to use inside your chroot-dir | 10:48 |
| sac | sorry I think I triggered the bot by mistake | 10:48 |
| ikonia | sac: why are you running "x64" but your kernel is 386 | 10:48 |
| ikonia | sac: why are you chrooting ? | 10:49 |
| ikonia | sac: the the devil are you trying to do and why | 10:49 |
| sac | I need to give a user sftp access to my private web server but he only need to access one directory | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | sac, x64 + 386 kernel is ... unwise. | 10:50 |
| sac | hmm.. I didn't notice that before | 10:50 |
| ikonia | this just seems alike a mess | 10:50 |
| ikonia | I'd put money it's not actually a 64bit install | 10:50 |
| llutz | http://askubuntu.com/questions/134425/how-can-i-chroot-sftp-only-ssh-users-into-their-homes sac | 10:50 |
| sac | well the its running inside a vmware host machine does that change a thing? | 10:50 |
| cfhowlett | sac, I'd double down on that bet | 10:50 |
| ikonia | ahhh even more random detail | 10:51 |
| ikonia | it's not a vmware guest | 10:51 |
| ikonia | "now" | 10:51 |
| ikonia | this is just another mess | 10:51 |
| llutz | "messy new year!" | 10:51 |
| ikonia | why are people without the basic experience to run a basic machine making these over complex setups | 10:51 |
| ikonia | and then not being able to even report the problem/setup clearly, let alone fix it | 10:52 |
| sac | llutz: thanks, I checked that article already | 10:52 |
| llutz | sac: according to your config, you haven't | 10:52 |
| Nicnm | anyone know how to make a script of keystrokes? | 10:52 |
| sac | llutz: well I was fiddling with the config for the last 4 hours or so.. let me revise the config once more | 10:53 |
| cfhowlett | Nicnm, you mean record the keystrokes into a script? | 10:53 |
| llutz | sac: and if you want to have sftp-only users, why do you wonder why you cannot login as such a user? | 10:53 |
| ObrienDave | more mess | 10:53 |
| llutz | sac: hint: that's the purpose of sftp-only | 10:53 |
| Nicnm | i think so | 10:53 |
| sac | well I'd like to give this user the option to ssh into his own dir aswell | 10:54 |
| Nicnm | it sounds close to what I'm trying to do | 10:54 |
| === james is now known as Guest94769 | ||
| Guest94769 | hello how is everyone? I am wondering where games go when they are installed on Ubuntu 13.10. | 10:55 |
| llutz | sac: if you do so, he always can use scp so the limited sftp-access is useless | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: how do you mean? | 10:55 |
| SaberX01 | sac, put them in a chroot shell / jail shell. | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: applications are installed all over the OS, Windows puts the files for applications in one folder which is wasteful | 10:56 |
| Guest94769 | ActionParsnip, When I install games from the software center I have to use the Ubuntu search in the menu to type in the name of the game. I just want to know where they install to so I can find it | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: shared libs are stored in various lib folders, they are stored once and loaded to RAM once | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: the files you search in Dash live in /usr/sahre/applcations | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: the files you search in Dash live in /usr/sahre/applications | 10:57 |
| q0 | hello, is there a way to substitute a "next word" in alias ? like if i have alias l="cmd && cmd" but the next word used after this alias is wasted by second cmd, and i want to include it in there like alias l _$theword="cmd _$theword && cmd" | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: you get the idea | 10:57 |
| Guest94769 | ActionParsnip, Thank you I navigated to the usr/applications and found the games. | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: that is just a reference file though, the actual game is 'installed' all throughout the OS | 10:59 |
| Guest94769 | ActionParsnip, so instead of being installed in a single spot there are fragments of it everywhere? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | q0: you may need a bash script which will take args | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: yes, they are stored once and loaded to RAM once, very efficient. Shared libs can be used by any and all applications | 11:00 |
| === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away | ||
| TomyWork | does /run need to be backupped? all i see in there are sockets, pidfiles and things like that. plus, it's causing tar to spam warnings about the sockets | 11:01 |
| TomyWork | so i want to exclude it from my backup :) | 11:01 |
| Guest94769 | ActionParsnip, So when things such as games are stored into one file it is not efficient and has to be loaded into memory more than once? I did notice that Ubuntu is a lot faster than windows | 11:01 |
| anthill_ | guys i have a problem encountered while using WUBI.exe | 11:02 |
| cfhowlett | anthill_, of COURSE you are! :) | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: yes, you will probably find that there are lots of common things between games which can be made less | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: it also reduces work as if you upgrade one lib, it affects all the applications which use i | 11:02 |
| cfhowlett | anthill_, wubi is not recommended for anything other than its intended use: TESTING of ubuntu | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | it* | 11:03 |
| anthill_ | i seem to be unable to install ubuntu | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | anthill_: resize NTFS in Windows then install to the freed space | 11:03 |
| llutz | TomyWork: it should be safe to exclude /run | 11:03 |
| ObrienDave | because you're using wubi ;P | 11:03 |
| Guest94769 | ActionParsnip, that seems a lot more efficient. Thank you for the quick lesson. If I can' | 11:04 |
| anthill_ | cfhowlett : ActionParsnip : my BIOS does not respond to USB's for installation | 11:04 |
| Guest94769 | ActionParsnip, sorry continued (if I cant) find a file is there a command I can use in the terminal to find it? | 11:04 |
| cfhowlett | anthill_, !? what year is your computer? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | anthill_: use CD then..... | 11:04 |
| anthill_ | cfhowlett : ActionParsnip : hence i highly rely on the bootrecord created by wubi | 11:04 |
| ObrienDave | anthill_, burn ISO to DVD | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94769: run: sudo updatedb then when it's finished you can use the 'locate' command | 11:04 |
| anthill_ | ya nice advice | 11:05 |
| anthill_ | i m running 32bit windows and own a 64bit processor, dont know which version to choose for ubuntu | 11:06 |
| ikonia | anthill_: either is ine | 11:06 |
| ikonia | fine | 11:06 |
| sac | llutz: I checked the sshd_confg file and the only change I see different from the article you sent is ChrootDirectory /home/%h instead of just %h when I change that and connect sftp I get Authentication failed. | 11:06 |
| ikonia | anthill_: your windows version has no relevence to your ubuntu selection | 11:06 |
| anthill_ | exactly | 11:06 |
| SaberX01 | anthill_, so is your problem running WUBI or installing Ubuntu to onto the system? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | anthill_: so why mention it if you know this | 11:07 |
| anthill_ | but does it matter which one i choose as regarding usage | 11:07 |
| ikonia | anthill_: how ? | 11:07 |
| sac | llutz: when running ssh -v local host I get Write failed: Broken pipe | 11:07 |
| anthill_ | SaberV01 : wubi | 11:07 |
| ikonia | wubi is obsolete | 11:08 |
| ikonia | I'd suggest looking at something that's not a dead end technologu | 11:08 |
| ikonia | technology too | 11:08 |
| SaberX01 | anthill_, WUBI is run like any other windows program, you dont boot into WUBI. | 11:08 |
| anthill_ | ikonia : the speed with which programs will run , will they matter? | 11:08 |
| Phuzzy | how does tasksel determine which tasks to display? as far as i understand it, the list of possible tasks are based on a config file under /usr/share/tasksel, but i have neverr seen tasksel display this entire list | 11:08 |
| ikonia | anthill_: you will not see any visual difference | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | anthill_: Wubi is directly affected by fragmentation inherent in NTFS | 11:08 |
| anthill_ | SaberX01 : but wubi creates a boot record in windows booting to directly point towards ubuntu installation | 11:09 |
| anthill_ | ikonia : i need the best as i have low RAM and negigible graphics | 11:10 |
| cfhowlett | anthill_, you do know that wubi was NEVER intended (or supported) as a long-term installation solution, right? If you can't install via dual boot, consider putting virtualbox on windows and put xubuntu/lubuntu inside the box | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | anthill_: use Lubuntu | 11:10 |
| cfhowlett | anthill_, ^^^^ this | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | anthill_: or install minimal then install openbox :) | 11:10 |
| SaberX01 | anthill_, Lubuntu or Xubuntu then, WUBI probably not a good choice. | 11:10 |
| cfhowlett | anthill_, lubuntu is optimized for low / old spec machines | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: yikes, 19 months ago was the last wubi release | 11:12 |
| SaberX01 | anthill_, Pick the one that fits best with your hardware / resources: http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.com/2012/04/ubuntu-1204-vs-xubuntu-1204-vs-kubuntu.html | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: and...discontinued :) | 11:12 |
| cfhowlett | ActionParsnip, again :) | 11:13 |
| anthill_ | SaberX01 : xubuntu because i used debian xfce before | 11:13 |
| anthill_ | SaberX01 : but the blog is amzing , thanks | 11:14 |
| SaberX01 | anthill_, It's up to you .. Lubuntu / Xubuntu is about the same, I prefer LXDE, so i go with Lubuntu .. but whatever works best for you/ | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | SaberX01: why do you need a DE? Just run a WM on it's own | 11:16 |
| SaberX01 | ActionParsnip, I dont .. :-) I have far more servers than DE's :-) | 11:16 |
| SaberX01 | He's on a low resource box, VM probably not a good idea. | 11:17 |
| SaberX01 | ActionParsnip, Oh sri .. WM you said, thought you wrote VM my bad .. well yes, he could do just WM .. but not very nice for the long rum. | 11:18 |

| rickyp | why? | 11:46 |
| ikonia | rickyp: grub2 is not a great system for booting more than windows+1linux distribtuion | 11:46 |
| SaberX01 | ChrisW, apps.ubuntu stop listing support for it in 12.10, so maybe there's changes in the wind. | 11:46 |

| rickyp | it seems to have installed xbmc now. how do i check? | 11:57 |
| curiousx | write: xbmc on dash | 11:58 |
| SaberX01 | q0, probably in #perl or #python but not in here. I do know, there is a Stupid number of Perl Modules floating around out in the wild. | 11:58 |
| curiousx | or in terminal | 11:58 |
| rickyp | perfect I have it running. Is there a way I can have xbmc auto boot from start? also have an icon on my dash? | 11:59 |
| SaberX01 | Rev_US, What you mean by MD down to bare disk ? | 12:01 |
| Rev_US | SaberX01: Basically, I want to cut the software RAID out of the equation, as I have no intention of replacing the failed drive at this point. | 12:02 |
| curiousx | yeah, there is an icon in dash, configure lightdm to run xbmc on start | 12:02 |
| curiousx | reboot and check that you can boot with xbmc if you want | 12:03 |
| rickyp | what is lightdm? i am so sorry for all these questions, i do appologise. | 12:03 |
| SaberX01 | Rev_US, well RAID1 is in theory an exact mirror A <==> B .. so you should be able to mount one device once it's disconnected from the raid card. | 12:03 |
| curiousx | its the place where you write your password to get into the system | 12:04 |
| MonkeyDust | rickyp lightdm is the login menu | 12:04 |
| rickyp | terminal? | 12:04 |
| SaberX01 | Rev_US, How that works wiht SW RAID, I am not sure. | 12:04 |
| SaberX01 | *with | 12:04 |
| Rev_US | SaberX01: It'll boot, but Ubuntu will complain incessantly about how it's a degraded device :p | 12:04 |
| curiousx | yeah, thats it, the login menu -.- | 12:04 |
| rickyp | oh, i dont have a login menu, it auto logs me in | 12:04 |
| rickyp | i just tried sudo lightdm but comes up saying 'failed to use bus name org.freedesktop.displaymanager, do you have appropriate permission. | 12:07 |

| slax0r | all depends on what you want to do | 12:16 |
| slax0r | nothing will beat a pure install on a hdd/ssd | 12:16 |
| DRatJr | Well you see, UEFI has really screwed me over. | 12:16 |
| slax0r | as for usb, if you have usb3, you'll get pretty close | 12:16 |
| DRatJr | I'd absolutely LOVE to install it on my PC | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, easy enough. install virtualbox in windows. put install ubuntu inside virtualbox. UEFI not an issue this way | 12:16 |
| slax0r | turn of uefi? | 12:16 |
| DRatJr | But UEFI inhibits me. | 12:16 |

| === Neozonz|Discx2 is now known as Neozonz | ||
| DRatJr | I install it via the UEFI guide using a USB. It boots, but then I have problems booting it a second time, or booting Windows. It will simply bork one or the other. So I try to uninstall, and it's a hassle. I have to COMPLETELY reinstall BIOS JUST for it to get off my Windows boot order. | 12:18 |
| slax0r | woot? | 12:18 |
| slax0r | what kind of weird-arse mb is that? | 12:18 |
| DRatJr | That's why I don't try more. It gets stuck in my BIOS boot order screen, with two entries. And it is such a hassle to remove, so I don't try it again. | 12:18 |
| DRatJr | Also, I am on Windows 8, have UEFI, and it's a Samsung computer. And I remember reading Samsung bios had a problem where if 50% of UEFI variables were oberwritten, it would brick the computer. | 12:19 |
| DRatJr | I read my device wasn't affected though. | 12:19 |
| slax0r | what kind of computer is this? | 12:20 |
| DRatJr | Mine? | 12:20 |
| slax0r | can you paste make and model? | 12:20 |
| slax0r | yes, yours | 12:20 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, fair enough, though 13.10 has the new kernal and the UEFI fix integrated. For virtualbox, use a light *buntu: xubuntu or lubuntu | 12:20 |

| SaberX01 | DRatJr, well as others have said, UEFI wont affect the Guest OS in a virtual machine, either that or do a native install without UEFI | 12:20 |
| DRatJr | Tab key isn't doing anything | 12:21 |
| MonkeyDust | DRatJr type two characters of the nickname, then tab | 12:21 |
| DRatJr | AHH | 12:21 |

| slax0r | cfhowlett: are you sure? | 12:21 |
| slax0r | I'm pretty sure it's not working as it should | 12:21 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: Well I have tried 13.10 but I get the same issue. I think it was something with the GFX card, and I had to enter nomodeset, but even that wouldn't work always. And I had like 5 diffeent boot options in grub. | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | !samsung | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | slax0r, the bug was triaged and the fix was expedited ... | 12:22 |

| DRatJr | SaberX01: Is researching it necessary? Or will I essentially get the same results from all? | 12:24 |
| slax0r | but I also had problems with iommu, so it could have been this as well | 12:24 |
| Pessimist | If I encrypted my /home directory is it safe against physical attacks? Can't someone change my password and decrypt it when they get physical access? | 12:25 |
| SaberX01 | DRatJr, it's alsways good to do your own research on things like that, but there's allot of support around for both VBox and VMware. | 12:25 |
| DRatJr | SaberX01: I'm seeing that VMWare's Workstation is better stability wise. | 12:25 |
| DRatJr | SaberX01: Why do you like VB? | 12:25 |

| DRatJr | SaberX01: When I'm using Ubuntu/Linux in the Virtual Machine, I won't be using Windows at all. So do I need to worry about that? | 12:27 |
| cfhowlett | Pessimist, someone with physical access can pretty much crack and do what they want | 12:27 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, and since you're installing in vbox, your windows system and boot is safe | 12:28 |
| BluesKaj | dual booting is the way to go , too many peobs with VMs | 12:28 |
| SaberX01 | DRatJr, Well, if you install Virtualbox in windows, your still using Windows as the Host, but if you do a native Ubuntu install, obviously you wont be. | 12:28 |
| BluesKaj | probs | 12:28 |
| boob00 | hello | 12:28 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, eh, not quite. You WILL be launching virualbox from windows ... | 12:28 |
| DRatJr | SaberX01: I WANT to so bad haha. But UEFI gives me problems. I know it might be my laziness to put in extra work to make it function properly, but it doesn't feel finished to me. I have to enter in nomodeset, select the correct option of FIVE DIFFERENT ONES at boot, and a bunch of other problems. | 12:29 |
| boob00 | why when i put this line in a script it not working: "sleep $[ ( $RANDOM % 90 ) ]" , get invalid sleep parameter, what i missed there? | 12:29 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: Ah gotcha. Thanks for that :) | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, essentially, ubuntu will be "sandboxed" inside virtualbox. The OS's will not interface - unless you want them to do so for networking | 12:29 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: Yeah, I want them to be as separate as possible. | 12:30 |
| SaberX01 | DRatJr, Then keep your Win8 install, install VirtualBox, and you should be fine. Nothing you do in the VM will affect your Win8 Boot / Load | 12:30 |
| DRatJr | SaberX01: My question (a while ago was and still is) is why does the community Wiki UEFI page mislead on how to get it working? | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, try x/l/ubuntu though - also, you should probably run the 32 bit versions | 12:31 |
| DRatJr | I remember I tried it once, and it worked, but I get on the forums, and I have all these issues later, and no one can really help. | 12:31 |
| SaberX01 | DRatJr, Pass, I dont know, I don't have any machines with UEFI. | 12:31 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: x/1/ubuntu? Are those different distros? Like 1Ubuntu or XUbuntu? | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, wiki can't account for every hardware variant - or user for that matter. | 12:32 |
| DRatJr | SaberX01: Ah okay :\ lol. A guy on the forums named OldFred always replies to my stuff, but he can't every really help | 12:32 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: True, I just don't see why it is seemingly so easy for everyone else with UEFI, bt I feel I have nothing but issues. | 12:32 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, xubuntu and lubuntu are different distros as is ubuntu | 12:32 |
| SaberX01 | DRatJr, and not to mention, all linux distros are at the mercy fo the Kernel-Dev with that stuff, they are the ones that will ultimately make or break it. | 12:33 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: Thought so, I've seen the name xubuntu. But why would you suggest those over regular ubuntu? | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, and I've seen NO ONE claim UEFI is "easy". Quite dreading it myself as my laptop will be replaced with 14.04 | 12:33 |
| boob00 | How i write that line in a script: "sleep $[ ( $RANDOM % 90 ) ]" ? thanks | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, unity is a resource hog. depending on how much ram you set up for your virtual OS, you might get substandard performance. thus the suggestion - same reason for 32 biit | 12:34 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: Well, another online friend said he did it with ease, no problems. When I googled my issue of Ubuntu getting "stuck" on my Windows BIOS boot order screen, it was foreign. Nothign suggested worked. I had to use a program to find hidden partitions and found that I had like three grub partitions I had to delete and go in my other partitions and delete the ubuntu folder. And THEN resinstall bios | 12:34 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: Unity? D: I am a ubuntu noob with most stuff, so sorry if I need explanations | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, I feel your painz | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, no worries. unity is the very hungry desktop environment of ubuntu. On xubntu, it'd be xfce4, on lubuntu it'd be lxde | 12:35 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: So what is unity exactly? | 12:35 |
| DRatJr | ChasingLogic: Ah, so unity is used on Ubuntu desktop regular version. And unity is "what" exactly? | 12:36 |
| MonkeyDust | DRatJr the desktop interface with the menu bar on the left | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, look/feel/integrated services ... | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | !unity | 12:36 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 12:36 |
| SaberX01 | DRatJr Unity is the default desktop environment for Ubuntu, starting at like 11.04 or something. The other distros mentions, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, all use a different desktop or DE. | 12:36 |
| slax0r | DE, D stands for desktop you know :P | 12:37 |
| DRatJr | cfhowlett: Ah okkay.So unity is the GUI, and other distros just use other (and sometimes less resource hogging) GUI's. Right? | 12:37 |
| SaberX01 | Yes | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, correctomundo! | 12:37 |
| SaberX01 | Lubuntu / Xubuntu lightweight .. Ubuntu - Unity, fancy stuff, but needs more resource. | 12:38 |

| ubottu | Debian bug 542165 in grub-common "grub-common: grub-probe kind of mishandles dm-crypt partitions" [Normal,Fixed] | 12:38 |

| DRatJr | So the final suggestion is, install Virtual Box, and use either 1/x ubuntu, or even use UNITY because my computer can handle it. Correct? | 12:42 |
| SaberX01 | Yes | 12:42 |
| SaberX01 | VM Ubuntu-Desktop install | 12:42 |
| DRatJr | Okay, and any warnings with VB? Anything I can do to mess up / have to dig my way out of? | 12:43 |
| SaberX01 | VB ~ Visual Basic ? | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, worst case: you flub the machine. delete it, start over | 12:43 |
| DRatJr | So nothing really on my computer then? | 12:44 |
| SaberX01 | No | 12:44 |
| DRatJr | And just for a quick overview, how easy is it to just delete and start over? | 12:44 |
| DRatJr | Literally deleting a folder, so to speak? | 12:44 |
| SaberX01 | 2 second delete, 2 second restart :-) | 12:44 |
| SaberX01 | Probably 0.02 on an SSD :-) | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, no, it's a virtualbox option :delete that machine | 12:45 |
| BluesKaj | VB-virtualbox | 12:45 |
| DRatJr | Ah, gotcha. | 12:45 |
| DRatJr | So still pretty easy then? | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, caveman easy ... | 12:45 |
| DRatJr | Haha, my bad cf, I like to be COMPLETELY sure of what I get myself into. | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | ^^^ | 12:45 |
| DRatJr | Guides and all help, but experience rules lol. | 12:45 |
| DRatJr | But forreal though, you guys have been the best | 12:45 |
| DRatJr | Usually I get no help here -_- | 12:46 |
| SaberX01 | DRatJr, Yes, but the Virtualbox guides are pretty good. do a couple walks through's, you really can't break anything. | 12:46 |
| MonkeyDust | DRatJr a year from now, and you'l be the onde providing help to others | 12:46 |
| MonkeyDust | one* | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | DRatJr, actually, starting with VB is a nice way to learn. low risk | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | MonkeyDust, a year! shoot, a MONTH and he'll be VBOXiing all his relatives! | 12:48 |
| MonkeyDust | ftw! | 12:48 |
| cfhowlett | come april (EOL Windows XP) he'll be handing out Ubuntu USB's in front of businesses! | 12:49 |

| SaberX01 | indeed. | 12:51 |
| xdccMule[2441GW] | !list | 12:52 |
| ubottu | xdccMule[2441GW]: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 12:52 |
| SaberX01 | Why does the bot always say list is Warez ? | 12:52 |
| slax0r | because most channels used and still use file sharing for warez | 12:53 |
| slax0r | generalization, it's like, you hear torrent, you think warez | 12:53 |
| cfhowlett | SaberX01, because users from italy keep htting the !list command | 12:53 |
| slax0r | well, most people do actually | 12:53 |
| SaberX01 | Oh I see .. dont think I'd want any files shared from an open channel ..just asking for trouble there. | 12:54 |
| slax0r | it's the same with all file shares | 12:54 |
| slax0r | public ones at least | 12:54 |
| SaberX01 | LOL .. I dont do them either good way to bring down boxes in a hurry. | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | "listalians" | 12:55 |
| cfhowlett | MonkeyDust, patent that term! lol! | 12:55 |
| Pricey | SaberX01: irc was/is used for lots of file sharing still. Not so much on freenode. | 12:55 |
| cfhowlett | MonkeyDust, matter of fact, it should be a channel factoid | 12:56 |
| SaberX01 | That's scary stuff though .. you have no Idea what could be compiled in it .. I guess that's true for most any DL'd package, not exclusive to IRC I suppose. | 12:57 |
| Engimal | Hello. My webcam doesn't work with in any browsers. When I try to use a service like Omegle or Tinychat, it doesn't work but it works with applications such as Cheese. How do I fix this? | 12:57 |
| slax0r | well, you have no idea what's compiled into windoze, and many are still using it ;) | 12:57 |
| SaberX01 | Ohh, I agree 100% .. that's one of the main reasons Im on *Nix boxes most of the time. | 12:58 |
| Pessimist | linux is not unix | 12:59 |
| Pessimist | it's unix-like | 12:59 |
| SaberX01 | Yes, I know .. but I also have Unix boxes to .. it's just easier to say / use *Nix :-) | 13:00 |
| slax0r | Pessimist: that's why he said *nix | 13:00 |
| slax0r | *nix does not mean unix, it means unix and unix-like operating systems | 13:00 |
| slax0r | which is linux, so linux == *nix :P | 13:00 |
| SaberX01 | I guess I could have said *Nux :-) | 13:01 |

| CiscoNinja | ActionParsnip, yes, so i can reinstall a fresh one | 13:29 |
| Guest81056 | hi. i recently removed disk tha i had in laptop and put it in externl usb drawer and i installed ubuntu on disk i put inside instead | 13:29 |
| idueppe | ups... I should had read the output correctly | 13:29 |
| k1lled | ActionParsnip: i mean, i use now ubuntu with Unity, i want to switch my GUI to lxde, but i dont want to close my launched programs | 13:30 |
| Guest81056 | but now i cant access my files on ubuntu partition on disk that is now internal | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | CiscoNinja: sudo dpkg -P apache2.2-common; sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 13:30 |
| k1lled | i think something like, console(tty1) stop with command unity, and start with command lxde.. | 13:30 |
| Guest81056 | on disk that is external now. loads fine, shows, i can browse it., but i cant copy some files and it doesnt show my mozilla folder | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | k1lled: LXDE is a desktop, Unity is a shell. Unity is not a DE. Gnome is STILL the DE in Ubuntu, With Compiz as the WM. Unity is nothing more than a plugin for Compiz just like wobbly windows | 13:31 |
| xwalk | Guest81056: Do you have ownership set properly for the files that are on the external drive? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | k1lled: if you switch the WM in LXDE from Openbox to Compiz you can run Unity in LXDE if you want. Unity does not replace Gnome | 13:31 |
| xwalk | Guest81056: It would also help if we had some output to work with as well. | 13:31 |
| Guest81056 | xwalk, no i dont. it says i dont have permissions. is there a way i can take over my disk :D | 13:32 |
| xwalk | Guest81056: Where is the disk mounted? | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | k1lled: as the applications you have ran are children of the desktop, when it dies the applications you have running will also die. You need to log off, select the LXDE session and log in afresh | 13:32 |
| idueppe | Well, I still get the message "Warning: /dev/mapper/crypt_root is a crypto device, which GRUB cannot read directly. Some necessary modules may be missing from /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

| xwalk | Guest81056: You may want to consider renaming that to make it easier to work with in the future. In any event, using sudo chown -R <current_user>:<current_group> /media/<your_external_drive/ | 13:35 |
| SaberX01 | k1lled, no | 13:35 |
| xwalk | Guest81056: should work I think. | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | k1lled: your apps are children of the gnome desktop, so when it stops the children will die | 13:35 |
| k1lled | now i have open 2 browsers, kvirc, few terminals ..i want to switch, i want to start lxde and close gnome.. for faster work | 13:35 |
| k1lled | and i want to dont close this programs | 13:35 |

| Guest81056 | i think i formated window partition where grub2 was | 13:37 |
| SaberX01 | k1lled, you can install lxde on it's own, or, I would recommend installing lubuntu-desktop | 13:38 |
| k1lled | SaberX01: something like open tty1, stop gnome and all programs with him and start lxde, or is bad idea? | 13:38 |
| xwalk | Guest81056: If you're booting from a disk with grub2 as the bootloader, yes. | 13:38 |
| SaberX01 | k1lled, no, once you kill the x-session, that kills the apps running that session. | 13:39 |
| SaberX01 | k1lled, there is no need, nor do you want to drop to tty .. simple log out and back in. | 13:39 |

| SaberX01 | denysonique_, Ok. have fun with that one :-) | 14:11 |
| idueppe | mavericks | 14:11 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, well firat thing I would do is install a Newer version on Ubuntu in the VM. say like 12.04 Desktop .. then use debootstrap in 12.04 to create the chroot. | 14:12 |
| SaberX01 | *first | 14:12 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: I'm booting the vm with ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso as a starting point | 14:12 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, I asked you what the host OS is, you said Maverick .. is that a LiveCD or installed to a VM ? | 14:13 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: Sorry I'm not sure what u mean. I'm working on OSX where VMWare Fusion is installed. The VM Guest System is booted with the LiveCD. | 14:15 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, Yes, I know what VM Fusion is. You need a Installed VM first .. then do you boot strapping to the installed VM . | 14:17 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, as I understadn it, your trying to bootstrap, from a LiveCD, to a VM that has not been created yet. | 14:18 |
| MonkeyDust | on a mac, in encrypted raid | 14:18 |
| SaberX01 | Yeah. that too. | 14:19 |
| Albymig | ciao | 14:20 |
| SaberX01 | And it's SW RAID as well, which is terrible for any real server. | 14:20 |
| Albymig | !list | 14:20 |
| ubottu | Albymig: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 14:20 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: Ok. I created a VM machine with to disk (sda,sdb) to simulate my root server configuration. I boot this vm by using the desktop live cd. | 14:20 |
| Romance | lol i just sudo apt-get purge nginx* , and now my firefox looks weird, the theme (maybe) was changed, what happened | 14:20 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, no, you dont boot a VM with a LiveCD .. you boot the VM after you install the VM. | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Romance: reapply the theme.... | 14:22 |
| Romance | "The following packages will be REMOVED: | 14:22 |
| Romance | foomatic-db-engine* gtk2-engines* gtk2-engines-murrine* gtk2-engines-pixbuf* gtk3-engines-unico* light-themes* nginx-common* nginx-full* openshot* ubuntu-artwork* | 14:22 |

| FloodBot1 | Romance: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:22 |
| Romance | bad paste | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Romance: maybe the artwork package | 14:23 |
| ObrienDave | Church, got it working. apt-get -f install fixed it. thank you | 14:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | romance: gtk getting purged? this is why you never use wildcards with apt-get | 14:23 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: mmmh. I connect the virtual cd drive of the VM with the ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso image and start (booting) the VM | 14:23 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, If you use the server install CD you can do most all of what your trying to do from that CD. What is sounds like to me is, you want to remaster / preseed a custom install configuration, and the way your doign it not gonna work, at least i dont knwo how to make that work. | 14:24 |
| Romance | hitsujiTMO: try to apt-get purge nginx, but it didnt work | 14:24 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: The livecd is booting and I click on "try ubuntu" | 14:24 |
| ObrienDave | Church, wish i would have thought of that 2 hours ago ;P | 14:25 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, no, install ubuntu. and You need the Server ISO also, would make things alot easier. | 14:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | Romance: reinstall gtk2-engines gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf gtk3-engines-unico ubuntu-artwork | 14:26 |
| loa | how i can run steam using wine& | 14:26 |
| loa | ? | 14:26 |
| Romance | ubuntu-artwork restored the firefox, but i dont know if i need the others, should i reinstall em? | 14:26 |
| loa | C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steam.exe | 14:26 |
| loa | i tried different variants but can't done this | 14:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Romance: they're used for various themes so may be necessary | 14:27 |
| SaberX01 | loa, try in #winehq .. | 14:27 |
| Romance | loa: do you know steam for linux is existed | 14:27 |
| MonkeyDust | loa there's also #ubuntu-steam | 14:27 |
| SaberX01 | loa, Or I guess, there may be a steam channel also. | 14:27 |
| Guest81056 | can i switch user without stopping programs? i have 50gb of data copying but i want to switch to other user for my friend to use | 14:27 |
| loa | Romance, yes | 14:28 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: mmh. In my final setting I will have a debian based rescue system to debootstrap ubuntu on my root server. Therefore all really needed files should be fetch by my bootstraping script | 14:28 |
| Rory | Guest81056: Yes, using the cog in the top right corner | 14:28 |
| Rory | Guest81056: click it, then press Switch User | 14:28 |
| loa | want non native application from steam | 14:28 |
| Rory | You can set a more friendly nickname with the "/nick" command - for example to change my name to Rory I typed "/nick Rory" (without the quotes) | 14:28 |
| Church | ObrienDave: i'm glad it helped. some obvious things sometimes slip from list to try :) | 14:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest81056 screen or tmux can help you do that | 14:28 |
| Guest81056 | Rory, it says do i reall y want to close all programs | 14:28 |
| Rory | Guest81056: Not log out. Switch user. | 14:28 |
| ObrienDave | Church, lol, don't i know it :) | 14:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | Guest81056: or using dm-tool switch-to-user USERNAME | 14:28 |
| Guest81056 | oh! | 14:28 |
| Rory | Guest81056: Oh sorry not the cog, the user icon | 14:28 |
| Rory | Guest81056: My mistake, sorry | 14:29 |
| Guest81056 | what is cog, btw, what doest it mean | 14:29 |
| Guest81056 | Rory, i will never forgive! :p | 14:29 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, I dont agree, but its your show :-) .. I understand what you tryign to do, and I dont know how to make that work the way you want, sorry. | 14:29 |
| dimsen | Hey guys ,...hope you have had a gread start @2014 | 14:29 |
| skyy111 | Any attempt to install and run oVirt on Ubuntu? Any doc? | 14:29 |
| Rory | Guest81056: A cog is used in a lot of programs to represent settings, or things to do with the internal working of the system | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest81056: top right corner, is there a cog? | 14:30 |
| Rory | Guest81056: The icon in Ubuntu appears to be a combination of a cog and the traditional "power button" icon | 14:30 |
| Guest81056 | i clicked on username there is switch user | 14:30 |
| mjayk | any one know why update manager see's updates but apt-get update doesnt ? | 14:30 |
| dimsen | anyone from Germany here .. ?? | 14:30 |
| Guest81056 | but i never heard word cog. you say it's that icon on top right where you can turn off computer and other stuff | 14:31 |
| Rory | mjayk: "apt-get update" just refreshes to update information, you want "apt-get upgrade" to actually execute the update | 14:31 |
| skyy111 | dimsen: what do you want? | 14:31 |

| ObrienDave | Guest81056, a "cog" can be a tooth on a gear. you're looking for something that looks like a gear | 14:32 |
| mjayk | Rory thanks alot always wondered that | 14:32 |
| dimsen | @ubottu .. THX | 14:32 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: mmh, isn't this the normal way? Sorry it is my first server installation. How would you install ubuntu on a remote root server, where you only have a rescue system to start from? | 14:33 |
| Rory | ObrienDave: I just Googled, and learned that "cog" referrs to a single tooth on the whole, which is called a "cogwheel"; perhaps it's a British thing to just refer to the entire wheel as "a cog" :) | 14:34 |
| ObrienDave | rory, pretty much. ;P | 14:34 |

| Rory | dimsen: Does the drive work in any other system> | 14:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimsen: seems like the contrller for the drive is deceased | 14:35 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, first, I would not encrypt the server (maybe /home but that it), and i would not use SW RAID server. Then I would do the install locally. If you need complex administration like this, I would look into using a tool like Lanscape. | 14:35 |
| dimsen | I allready guessed this also... but ATM there are two other drives in system .. an theyre running very well | 14:36 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, sri, Landscape, not Lanscape | 14:37 |
| idueppe | this one https://landscape.canonical.com/? | 14:38 |

| TJ- | dimsen: Don't do that until you can be sure there's nothing else to cause this. You said earlier, you'd had it working with Windows, is that correct?

| TJ- | marcus: I run two GPUs with 6 monitors over several X screens from one login session; what do you need to know? | 15:04 |
| TJ- | dimsen: Which suggests the SATA driver in Linux might be the issue, do you agree? | 15:04 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, here's the problem, you can ssh to a server, start a script on that server to re-install itself, that has to be done from another server. | 15:05 |
| SaberX01 | *you can not ssh .. .. .. | 15:05 |
| dimsen | Maybe that could be the issue .. but ive also tried to installed linux mint on it .. and there came the same error .. I know Mint is just a fork of Ubuntu .. but ive hoped itll be run better .. | 15:06 |

| dimsen | i fully agree with you .. | 15:07 |
| dimsen | so .. may you have an advice for me .. | 15:08 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, we talked about that earlier, you need a newer ISO, 12.04 or better, and use the debootstrap from that distro. | 15:08 |

| marcus | TJ: when i do startx :1 & DISPLAY=:1 my primary screen goes black, when i do X :1 & DISPLAY =:1 both screen goes black. what to do? | 15:08 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: I don't understand you. I guess therefore is debootstraping to start a rescue or live cd and installing linux and install it onto a new disk | 15:09 |
| andrewjs18 | ActionParsnip, blah, it's returning this again when I try the --reinstall install grub-pc: andrew@backup-server:~$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc | 15:09 |
| andrewjs18 | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 15:09 |
| TJ- | marcus: You'd need to pastebin the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" to give us a clue | 15:10 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, debootstrap installs a minimal Linux system, bare minimum tool, and you add to it from there. | 15:10 |
| MonkeyDust | andrewjs18 is it grub-pc you specificaly want to install? | 15:10 |
| idueppe | SaberX01: Ah ok, I didn't catch this with I need a newer ISO. Where can I find it (a downloaded that one before chrismas). Or can I use the server install iso to start a terminal and run my script? | 15:10 |
| SaberX01 | cdimage.ubuntu.com | 15:11 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, I'd recommend getting the 12.04-Server ISO | 15:11 |
| andy_10 | assalam | 15:11 |
| andrewjs18 | MonkeyDust, well, when I was running sudo apt-get update, it was hanging up on these parts: Setting up libreoffice-common (1:3.5.7-0ubuntu5) ... | 15:11 |

| TJ- | marcus: OK ... I'd recommend you remove that xorg.conf completely, then start the desktop properly using "sudo service lightdm start" and then once you've logged in, use the "nvidia-X server settings" GUI tool to configure the screens | 15:18 |

| TJ- | marcus: Configure it so that all GPUs/monitors/screens are working (several logout-login loops to be sure) then you can work on modifying the generated xorg.conf to your exact requirements | 15:20 |
| marcus | all monitor is working already, and xorg file was a backup (i deleted current), but whenever i generate it looks like that | 15:20 |
| marcus | how to login on terminal when restart? o_o | 15:21 |
| TJ- | marcus: But that generated xorg.conf doesn't include any mention of the nvidia drivers... you need to ensure you have "nvidia-current" installed and working, and use the nvidia X settings tool to configure it is far better than the "X -config" method | 15:22 |
| TJ- | marcus: log-in the usual way... switch to a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6) | 15:22 |
| michael_87 | I am in a bit of a pickle. I made a sweet theme on my laptop but I want to change the splash screen loader. I downloaded one that looks pretty sweet from gnome-look.com. put my ubuntu says it is not trust worthy and warns that if I do it might cause my system to become unstable. I just want a nicer bootloader then the standerd ubuntu one please help | 15:23 |

| Guest22998 | Hello everyone how's it going? Is the Linux file system the same for all distros? (Mint, Ubuntu, Arch, Debian etc) Also, do Ubuntu commands work with all distros or are there different commands for different Os's? | 15:23 |
| marcus | ok, brb | 15:24 |
| michael_87 | TJ-, heh not alot since the new ubuntu boots so freaken fast. But it would be nice to know how to change it and do it safely. Not a huge deal. | 15:24 |
| SaberX01 | idueppe, I'd try in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-server | 15:25 |
| somsip | Guest22998: there are similarities and differences, but the standard is FHS. Commands are the same to a degree, but there are differences too. | 15:25 |
| michael_87 | can't wait for the next lts 14.04 | 15:25 |

| michael_87 | with the execption of a few minor annoyances, 13.10 is running a whole lot better then 13.04. when it first came it was not as good and I was very aggravated. Thank you ubuntu. you have become more effieciant then windows 7 on my laptop | 15:29 |
| DRatJr | So just max it then? | 15:29 |
| SaberX01 | set it to 128 then | 15:29 |

| pepito | SaberX01, I'll chech postgresql and I use ubuntu 12.04 | 15:31 |
| SaberX01 | pepito, just sudo apt-get install postgresql .. should ask for you UN & PW,use that for you app to connect, or follow their build instructions form that point on. | 15:32 |
| Guest22998 | MonkeyDust, ok cool thank you. I have always had an interest in Linux I just never really had the time to sit down and figure it out. I am taking computer classes now that require me to know it. My school goes through a company called Testout to learn Linux, it is like an online teacher and a virtual environment to practice command line etc. The program don't run on Linux because it requires microshaft silverlight. I hate learni | 15:33 |
| Guest22998 | ng linux on a windows machine, but silverlight and moonlight fail to load it up. Is there a way you know of that I could get silverlight running on my Ubuntu 13.10? I could use a virtual machine but that takes a lot of resources. | 15:33 |
| shreezbot | Copying from one of my hard drives to another is EXTREMELY slow, is there a good way to determine if my hard drive is going bad? There is data there, and I can access it, but it is extremely painfully slow... | 15:34 |

| Guest22998 | ubottu, Wasn't trying to get off topic I was only asking if I could get Silverlight working on Ubuntu so I can run my school program on it | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Guest22998: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:36 |

| pepito | SaberX01, I checked, I installed postgresql, so I don't understand where the problem is ... ? | 15:38 |
| SaberX01 | pepito, that's about as far as I can go .. I read though the package build instructions, there's allot to it. You may want to contact the maintainers. | 15:40 |

| killerbart10 | ? | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | gvo: indeed, por favore is the Italian :) | 16:30 |
| slax0r | in it, you should have server { listen 80; server_name yourdomain.com; } and probably more, in that server directive, you add the rewrite | 16:31 |
| slax0r | bobptz: ^ | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | apb1963: doesnt matter, the link will be relational or absolute, it will still act the same | 16:31 |

| slax0r | apb1963: ln -s /var/www/html/dirver2 link | 16:35 |
| apb1963 | ActionParsnip: I take that back... cd brings me to /var/www/html/link but then ls shows me <dir.version.2> ... a directory. | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip | killerbart10: what distro are you making the bootable SD card on? | 16:35 |
| slax0r | and cd /var/www/html/link && ls shows another dirver2? | 16:35 |

| m_ | Hello | 16:46 |
| blz | ActionParsnip, yeah that's what I'm looking at. I'm a bit overwhelmed... I'm not sure I understand the difference between extending a logical volume and extending the underlying filesystem | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | apb1963: im sure a tonne of employers would tell you not to | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | blz: time to get smart. Know your enemy | 16:47 |

| killerbart10 | 16:47 | |
| apb1963 | ActionParsnip: well, it's no longer a concern... but I've never had an employer tell me not to do something I wanted to do.... I once had some bonehead tell me I couldn't run ntp, but that's about it. | 16:48 |
| slax0r | roman71: thanks for the suggestion, but I'm a kde fan :P | 16:48 |
| m_ | Can anybody help me with mute which is switching on on its on. Tried the physical button, icon and Alsamixer | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | apb1963: every server should run NTP or you can tombstone your domain | 16:49 |
| roman71 | slax0r: Great, i like KDE Desktop, really nice :) | 16:49 |
| apb1963 | ActionParsnip: like I said... he was a bonehead :) | 16:49 |
| ActionParsnip | roman71: there are many to choose from. KDE is far from light but it is feature rich | 16:49 |
| llutz | if one only could get rid of those stupid "activities" in kde ... | 16:49 |
| apb1963 | hahaha so I'm not the only one that thinks the activities are annoying? | 16:50 |

| Rory | starhunter: usb, or dvd yes | 17:03 |
| starhunter | will my contents be safe | 17:03 |
| Rory | killerbart10: That's fine, the process is the same. It's better not to use dd though, but to use a tool like the Startup Disk Creator which is included in Ubuntu. Read the page on Ubottu's link above | 17:03 |

| starhunter | its just that while installing ubuntu i did not partition disk as it was taking longer time.but i want to do it now | 17:04 |

| Rory | starhunter: You want to grow or shrink your Ubuntu partition? | 17:05 |

| Rory | killerbart10: I don't believe you've even read that link at all | 17:05 |
| Rory | killerbart10: Since if you have, you wouldn't still be asking questions | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | killerbart10: why not use unetbootin? | 17:05 |
| dipak | starhunter: Open a Terminal on Ubuntu (live cd) and force unmount the partition. | 17:05 |

| starhunter | dipak:have tried that | 17:06 |
| Rory | dipak: starhunter: You can't resize the partition that Ubuntu is on, while Ubuntu is booted. You need to boot from a live session | 17:06 |

| Macrotus | duhamel damn it, secure boot in bios... | 17:31 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: I would suggest doing a "dig" on a url / domain and seeing the response | 17:31 |
| killerbart10 | 17:31 | |
| MarkDavies | thank you, the next time I will do it. | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | MarkDavies: yes, you are using a name 'google.pl' or whatever | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | MarkDavies: if DNS is failing your system cannot translate 'google.pl' to an DNS A record as it doesnt know how | 17:33 |
| lotuspsychje | MarkDavies: did you try other browsers and other websites? | 17:33 |
| duhamel | Macrotus: the problem is that win 8 is efi extended firmware intergration. this means that windows is booting before grub even fires up. you might be best to delete the ubuntu partition leave it unallocated and reinstall alongside windows. | 17:33 |
| killerbart10 | 17:33 | |
| ActionParsnip | MarkDavies: so, if you use an IP address you sidestep DNS lookup and go straight to transmission | 17:33 |
| lotuspsychje | killerbart10: plz stop that, use this channel for support only | 17:33 |
| Macrotus | duhamel let me try fixing grub first | 17:33 |
| Macrotus | If it doesn't work I'll reinstall | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | MarkDavies: if you get a reply you know DNS is the issue | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | MarkDavies: and you can run: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 17:34 |
| ikonia | no | 17:34 |
| Macrotus | Windows has only problems.. unfortunately developers don't do much Linux programs | 17:34 |
| ikonia | there is zero need for that | 17:34 |
| ikonia | you don't even know the problem yet | 17:35 |
| ikonia | so pointing things at other hosts is just guess work | 17:35 |
| duhamel | Macrotus: yeah. i haven't booted into windows in months. | 17:35 |
| MarkDavies | right now it gives simply: nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 17:35 |

| apb1963 | ikonia: ln -s <realdir> phpmyadmin | 17:45 |
| duhamel | Macrotus: It says no bootloader installed on mbr so you have to reinstall grub to the mbr. | 17:45 |
| ikonia | apb1963: why have you not put it in the document root as you are meant to | 17:45 |
| ikonia | apb1963: symlinks add complexity to it with apache rules | 17:45 |
| Macrotus | duhamel so using the same tool again? | 17:46 |
| apb1963 | ikonia: "followsymlinks" is the default so I wouldn't expect it to be a problem... but I'll try the full path | 17:46 |

| ikonia | r00t-err0r: why don't you use the ones ubuntu provides in the repo | 18:14 |
| duhamel | if not you might have to use your windows repair media to reinstall the mbr then wipe and reinstall grub. | 18:14 |
| ikonia | r00t-err0r: that way you know they are supported | 18:14 |
| r00t-err0r | i want full drivers for my Graphic card with all features | 18:14 |

| james- | hello everyone how are you? I am using Ubuntu 13.10 and am trying to understand how the command line works. I installed a game called kapman and was able to successfully run it by opening the terminal and typing: /usr/games/kapman. I want to try opening a writing document saved in documents called Linux notes.odt. In the terminal I tried /home/documents/Linux notes.odt and it can't find the file or directory. How can I open the file? | 18:47 |
| tamatar | opalepatrick_, i'm using xfce so it might be different for you, but do you have an option to set a compose key in your keyboard layout settings? if so, this might work for you: http://www.hermit.org/Linux/ComposeKeys.html | 18:47 |

| DarkClasko | What do i do to fix/continue booting? | 18:48 |
| glitsj16 | james-: you need to escape the space, like /home/documents/Linux\ notes.odt | 18:49 |
| cigrits | catalase_ if you have "home" service from your isp, your isp is probably blocking port 21 | 18:50 |

| james- | glitsj16, can I pastebin you something regarding this? | 18:52 |
| tamatar | james-, you could also try running (without the quotes) "xdg-open /home/documents/Linux\ notes.odt" (escaping the space as glitsj16 suggested). This will open the file using the program that is associated with it by default. | 18:52 |
| glitsj16 | james-: sure | 18:52 |
| catalase_ | llutz, so how might i out the config file | 18:52 |

| [1]Jerome | I'm ssh'ed into a server via putty in windows. I'm trying to delete a directory. | 19:30 |
| james- | glitsj16, Thank you I will rename things and give it another shot. Thank you. Is there a help command for certain things? For instance if I want to find out what the ls command means is there a terminal command to tell me? | 19:30 |
| [1]Jerome | But when I do rm -rf *, it doesn't get all the hidden folders as well. | 19:31 |
| MonkeyDust | james- man ls | 19:31 |
| [1]Jerome | so when I "ls -a" it still shows files. | 19:31 |
| glitsj16 | james-: yes, use the man command, like man ls | 19:31 |

| Sach | Using ubuntu 12.04 which frequently freezes. How do I check the cause of this? | 19:33 |
| james- | glitsj16, I can't wait, I love it. I don't know much about it at all but I like it anyway.

| TJ- | [1]Jerome: To delete all files, including hidden files, in one operation the solution is to do "rm -f ..?* .[!.]* *" or to simply delete the directory and remake it with "rm -f /path/to/dir && mkdir /path/to/dir" | 19:37 |
| Sach | skypce, thanks, but that's more to avoid my issue rather than fix it :-p | 19:38 |
| Sach | skypce: a kernel change, that is. | 19:38 |
| [1]Jerome | So TJ-, if I'm cd ~/Downloads/spyone& and I do that command will it delete "spyone" and everything inside including hidden folders that only show up with the ls -a command? | 19:39 |
| skypce | somebody can give me the email of albert astals cid? | 19:39 |
| MonkeyDust | skypce albertastals@nsa.spy | 19:40 |
| skypce | very thank you MonkeyDust | 19:40 |
| [1]Jerome | TJ-, I typed that and it says "rm: cannod remove '.cache': Is a directory | 19:41 |
| [1]Jerome | along with a bunch of the other .folders | 19:41 |
| MonkeyDust | [1]Jerome what are you trying to do? | 19:41 |
| NickGarvey | [1]Jerome: I assume he meant "rm -rf /path/to/dir && mkdir /path/to/dir" | 19:41 |
| [1]Jerome | MonkeyDust, trying to delete a directory that has hidden directories inside it. | 19:42 |
| TJ- | [1]Jerome: I didn't specify the "-r" directory-recursion flag as a safety precaution... I showed you the command to remove files only. | 19:42 |
| [1]Jerome | Ah, thanks TJ-. | 19:42 |
| MonkeyDust | [1]Jerome careful with deleting folders... what folder would it be? | 19:42 |

| [1]Jerome | I accidentally mirrored the wrong folder to the server with SSH and it got all my mozilla firefox cache and junk like that. | 19:43 |
| [1]Jerome | So now I want to delete the folder from the server and start over. | 19:43 |
| MonkeyDust | [1]Jerome what's wrong with rm -r [folder]? | 19:44 |
| catalase_ | oy llutz, it turns out it was a passive mode issue | 19:44 |
| catalase_ | llutz, the passiveports were not explicitly stated in the proftpd.conf file | 19:44 |
| catalase_ | so i forwarded them and it solved the issue | 19:44 |
| [1]Jerome | MonkeyDust, maybe nothing. It wasn't getting rid of the hidden folders within it. | 19:44 |
| catalase_ | i do appreciate your assistance though, next challenge will be working on FTPS (lol) | 19:44 |
| [1]Jerome | Thanks, TJ-, adding the -r fixed it. | 19:47 |
| [1]Jerome | Now all that is listed are . and .. are those things? | 19:47 |
| TJ- | [1]Jerome: "." means 'this directory' and ".." means 'parent directory' | 19:47 |
| === Joel-S is now known as Guest91393 | ||
| [1]Jerome | Ah. Perfect. So essencially now I have a blank folder? | 19:47 |
| TJ- | [1]Jerome: Yes | 19:47 |
| [1]Jerome | Sweet! Thanks. | 19:47 |
| [1]Jerome | So now, can you explain what all I did. rm (means delete?) -rf are the modifiers or how i want the rm command carried out and then the * meant everything, I assume the ..?* means things starting with .? and the .[!.]* I have no idea. | 19:49 |
| [1]Jerome | I assume it was basically just making sure every directory starter was covered. | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | [1]Jerome: rm means ReMove | 19:50 |
| [1]Jerome | Ah. That makes sense. What's cd stand for? Current Directory? Or see directory? | 19:50 |
| [1]Jerome | ls I always assume meant list | 19:50 |

| bugs_bugger | hi there, a belated happy new year everybody. | 20:00 |
| bugs_bugger | my gdm (13.10) is driving me mad with some weird bug. i have one guest user(my fathers) without a password. everytime that specific user finishes his session (MATE) and logs out, mdm goes straight back in, as if it were an auto-login. this problem persists after rebooting. any ideas how i can fix this? id like to keep the user password-less | 20:01 |
| MonkeyDust | bugs_bugger mdm... is that mint? | 20:01 |
| bugs_bugger | MonkeyDust: oh, sorry. thats a typo. | 20:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | bugs_bugger: also is that MATE a typo? | 20:03 |
| Beldar | bugs_bugger, mate has to be a ppa at the least it's not in the ubuntu repos. | 20:03 |
| bugs_bugger | MonkeyDust: i actually have that problem on both gdm and mdm ;( | 20:03 |
| bugs_bugger | hitsujiTMO: nope, using that | 20:03 |
| bugs_bugger | Beldar: yeah, ppa. but the problem is actually independend of the de i use... | 20:04 |
| === Guest91393 is now known as Joel-S | ||
| hitsujiTMO | bugs_bugger: the problem is with mate then | 20:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | its session isn't actually closing. most likely its not actually written for ubuntu and is just repackaged from mint | 20:05 |
| bugs_bugger | hitsujiTMO: mhh, ok. do you happen to know how to fix it? | 20:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | bugs_bugger: find a better ppa and use that | 20:06 |
| Beldar | mate is a gnome 2 fork sorta I would not use it | 20:07 |
| imanc | if ubuntu is crawling either due to maxed cpu or mem, and it isn't responding to ctrl+alt+1 etc. so that i can htop and kill offending processes, what can I do? I've just been biting the bullet and holding down the power key, but i'm hoping there's a ctrl+alt+del equivalent | 20:07 |
| neil_ | still not working :/ | 20:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | bugs_bugger: you could also try cinnamon instead. its in the ubuntu repo | 20:07 |
| neil_ | whats the command to remove flash | 20:07 |
| bugs_bugger | hitsujiTMO: ok. nah, wanna stick to mate, but thanks for the advice. if i dont find any other ppa, could i manually fix the session somehow? | 20:08 |
| Beldar | imanc, hard shutdowns can mess up your install. | 20:08 |
| imanc | Beldar: yeh, I'm hoping there's an alternative. | 20:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | bugs_bugger: i doubt it. prob needs a section of code to be rewritten | 20:09 |
| Beldar | !reisub | imanc | 20:09 |
| ubottu | imanc: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 20:09 |
| bugs_bugger | hitsujiTMO: dang. ok. i guess ill file a bug then...thanks! | 20:10 |
| Beldar | imanc, If you need help detail the hardware to start with to confirm ubuntu is runnable. | 20:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | bugs_bugger: make you you file it with the ppa. not with ubuntu itself | 20:10 |
| bugs_bugger | hitsujiTMO: yeah, of course. i meant to file it in the ppa ;) | 20:12 |
| imanc | Beldar: Ubuntu 13.10 is running pretty awesomely, on a new ASUS SC400CA Vivobook / I3 with shared mem. It's just twice now, usually with a daft amount of chrome tabs open, it has decided to stop responding altogether | 20:12 |
| imanc | got DC'd | 20:15 |
| Beldar | imanc, Install htop and run htop in the terminal when you open a lot of apps or tabs in a browser and look up swappiness. | 20:17 |
| Beldar | imanc, If your swapping, what you describe is the cost. | 20:17 |
| imanc | OK, will do that Beldar | 20:18 |

| birdhouse | i type in dvorak but i thought the decrpytion does not even have lay out | 20:31 |
| Vivekananda | TJ-: that gives me the permissions of files inside the mysql/ but not of the folder mysql/itself | 20:31 |
| glitsj16 | james-: i suggest you launch your regular GUI file manager (nautilus, thunar or the like) and browse around in your /home to get a clear look at your file structure .. if you can navigate to where that .odt file is you can use the right-click menu and select "open terminal here" and see the exact syntax of the full path .. either double-clicking on the .odt in GUI or running the command "xdg-open ./exact-file-name-here.odt" to open the document | 20:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | spudnica: looks like the server is failing with wget. it may be expecting something thats not being given by wget, such as a referrer or useragent | 20:31 |
| TJ- | birdhouse: Does the password contain special characters? Is the Keyboard and Locale set correctly to interpret the key-presses as the characters you expect? | 20:31 |
| bel3atar | Vivekananda: you should be logged as root to cd there | 20:31 |
| birdhouse | at first i tryed special charicters but then i just tryed lower case letters and numbers and it still did not work | 20:32 |
| Vivekananda | bel3atar: yep but I did not set up superuser "su" with any password. So my sudo password does not work. How do I ste it up? | 20:32 |
| bel3atar | Vivekananda: try sudo su | 20:32 |
| TJ- | Vivekananda: You asked what the storage location is; that is it. If you want to list permissions for the directory itself use a different form of the 'ls' command, such as "ls -ld /var/lib/mysql" or "ls -al /var/lib/mysql/" | 20:33 |

| hitsujiTMO | birdhouse: is it taking any chars? | 20:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | birdhouse: that is, is it responding to keyboard input | 20:42 |

| TJ- | olegfusion: Why does the module need to be 32-bit? Which module? | 20:43 |
| birdhouse | i use dvorak | 20:43 |

| gvo | Senior moment... | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | Shams: that's a bit of an open-ended question | 20:45 |

| gordonjcp | Shams: what kind of things do you want to do? | 20:45 |
| olegfusion | TJ-, module is proprietary. | 20:45 |
| MonkeyDust | Shams start with a live sesiion, get used to the interface and basic commands | 20:45 |
| birdhouse | i tryed typing my passwords as if they are qwerty as well it still does not work | 20:46 |
| hussain | it does not work i try this. gvo | 20:46 |

| daftykins | DF3D2: i did see, but it's still bad advice. i know you mean well and i don't mean to annoy, but just - don't be so quick to throw that stuff around :) | 21:37 |

| rww | tl;dr: stop caring about RAM, it's making itself useful and will be given to programs if they need it | 21:39 |
| DF3D2 | rww, so it is pre allocating then | 21:40 |

| hitsujiTMO | lunareffect: np | 22:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | Kartagis: no. UUIDs are there to get around some issues caused by dynamic device names tho. | 22:24 |
| viscera | is it true that apt-get and aptitude are equally capable of managing automatically installed packages, or is aptitude still better? | 22:24 |
| [[a] | in Ubuntu Im "user666" and I can also log in as root in Terminal, so whenever I chmod a give folder into root user and go the appropriate directory and double-click the folder with "user666" I get it open instead of getting a msg like "you don't have permission to open this file..." | 22:24 |
| viscera | ie. all associated deps are removed when you remove the parent package | 22:24 |
| viscera | i seem to recall that this capability was generalised to both a while back | 22:25 |

| smerz | [[a], you may have access it because the files are still under your group ? | 22:25 |
| smerz | *to it | 22:25 |
| smerz | try a stat on the folder | 22:26 |
| smerz | stat /path/to/folder | 22:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | Kartagis: sudo blkid this will get you the UUID for the drive. then instead of naming the device by device name /dev/sdc1 use UUID=ehfuiesgfiuegfiuejdfhsd | 22:26 |
| smerz | it will show you to which user and group the folder belongs | 22:27 |
| smerz | and the permissions | 22:27 |
| smerz | in ubuntu right click -> permissions (or the like) will show you the same info | 22:27 |
| * Kartagis starts coughing: there are no folders on gnu/linux, just directories | 22:27 | |
| hitsujiTMO | Kartagis: look at the fstab section here: https://wiki.tenmilesout.net/wiki/Ubuntu_Saucy_Debootstrap_Efi_Minimal_Install | 22:27 |
| smerz | right click -> properties then go into the permissions tab | 22:28 |
| [[a] | smerz, you mean if I chmod everything including the files, it will not be opened? | 22:28 |
| [[a] | and yes i have files | 22:29 |
| smerz | [[a], no. there are 3 permission levels per file/folder. the user it's assigned to, the group it's assigned to. and "other" | 22:29 |
| Dcain | Hi | 22:29 |
| smerz | if you change the user to root, but the group is "user666" and has access rights. you will still have access rights | 22:30 |
| smerz | likewise "other" means all. if "other" has permissions everyone has permission | 22:30 |
| gvo | smerz not exactly | 22:30 |
| gvo | I think if you remove group permission and give other permission, then group can't get to it. At least it was that way many years ago. | 22:31 |
| gvo | they may have changed that. | 22:32 |
| Dcain | When i installed ubuntu on a different partition i left windows intact but i cant load up the uefi for windows anymore how an i access windows when there is no option to? | 22:32 |

| [[a] | workds like a charm | 22:32 |
| smerz | if i set a grp to --- and other to rwx, the group permission overrides other? is that what you mean gvo? :) | 22:34 |
| hawke_2 | Hi all…is there a current recommended system for joining an Ubuntu machine to active directory? | 22:34 |
| gvo | smerz it used to work that way. If you do that, members of the group can't access it. | 22:35 |
| smerz | gvo, i just tested it. and indeed. 007 on my own grp. can't get into the folder ;-) you're right | 22:35 |

| Jordan_U | samiralajaad: You should always identify in the server "window" of whatever client you're using so that this type of thing isn't possible (or just configure your client to auto-identify). I assume you know to now change your password :) | 23:38 |

| sa_ | what does "bash: !cp: event not found" mean? | 23:40 |
| Rylee | sa_, !cp in the Bash shell means "repeat the last line starting with cp" -- that line means that there was no line starting with "cp" in the current session | 23:41 |

| sa_ | Rylee, thank you | 23:53 |
| sa_ | does anyone know why this tutorial says to use !cp? http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_01.html#not-compatible | 23:54 |
| sa_ | i couldn't see a cp command earlier | 23:54 |
| Rylee | ah yes | 23:55 |
| sa_ | so i just navigated to the directory and cp'd it that way | 23:55 |
| Rylee | that's the command to use in vim itself | 23:55 |
| Rylee | :! is "shell command" | 23:55 |
| sa_ | OH | 23:55 |
| sa_ | Rylee, thanks again that clears that up. lol | 23:56 |
| Rylee | heh, no problem, have fun with vim ^^ | 23:56 |
