[00:00] <Bashing-om> idueppe: No, grub is a different process from either; See : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 .
[00:07] <idueppe> Bashing-om, grub-install says "cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/crypt_root.  So what is going wrong?
[00:07] <idueppe> It also says "Auto-detection of a filesystem of /dev/mapper/crypt_root failed."
[00:09] <catalase_> hello
[00:09] <catalase_> can anyone explain to me what the parameters -rf and -la do
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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!
[00:12] <gvo> If you type man ls into a browser search window you might find some useful information too.
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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.
[00:15] <whatisthematrix> hi all
[00:17] <frybye> torchat is pretty cool aint it.. wow...
[00:17] <frybye> does it run on sp8 somehow...?
[00:18] <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.
[00:19] <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.
[00:20] <gvo> DeHackEd: does lxconsole work?
[00:21] <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.
[00:22] <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?
[00:23] <darkelfjuggalo> Cable will not work at all
[00:23] <xatr0z> ah it didnt before? ok. misread the question
[00:24] <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.
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <darkelfjuggalo> sorry if someone responded to the output, my internet was unplugged becuase someone couldnt watch their movie on netflix
[00:29] <xatr0z> :)
[00:30] <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?
[00:31] <DeHackEd> catalase_: it's not bad, as long as you know the keys for the session correct. (ie. no man in the middle attack)
[00:32] <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.
[00:39] <ulkesh> catalase_: maybe reset it?  http://www.faqforge.com/linux/reset-root-password-ubuntu-linux-without-cd/
[00:40] <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??
[00:42] <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.
[00:43] <Gr4cchus> is synaptic even that useful anymore after they got ubuntu software center?
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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
[00:46] <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
[00:49] <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.
 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.
[00:51] <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
[00:52] <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?
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <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.
[00:55] <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.
[00:56] <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.
[00:57] <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.
[00:58] <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
[00:59] <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?
[01:00] <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
[01:01] <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...
[01:02] <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.
[01:03] <Seven_Six_Two> isosceles, what devices, and how many of them?
[01:03] <isosceles> Seven_Six_Two: i mean"usb3" not "usbs"
[01:04] <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)
[01:05] <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?
[01:06] <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?
[01:07] <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.
[01:08] <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 %?
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <zbrkxbr> hi guys I need flash an android dtock rom  via ubuntu
[01:11] <zbrkxbr> (Gnex 4.3)
[01:11] <zbrkxbr> how can I do that
[01:11] <catalase_> oh ok
[01:11] <Seven_Six_Two> zbrkxbr, unfortunately that isn't supported by Ubuntu.
[01:12] <Seven_Six_Two> zbrkxbr, your best bet (I think) would be an android related channel.
[01:12] <whatisthematrix> evilbug: are you  against using a gui archive manager? i ask because one of the gui ones probably shows progress
[01:12] <zbrkxbr> oh you can't be serious because this channel is a goverment office and you can't help me with anything out of your business area but you can warn me like that are you
[01:13] <rww> zbrkxbr: #ubuntu has a well-defined set of guidelines as to what is on-topic for this channel. rooting android phones is not in them
[01:13] <zbrkxbr> aha a new geekster is here
[01:13] <zbrkxbr> thank you guys all of you
[01:13] <apb1963> I'm trying to do "gpg --armor --export $keymissing | apt-key add -" but it fails because 1) gpg doesn't want to be run as root and 2) apt-key must be run as root.  How can I resolve this?
[01:14] <rww> apb1963: change apt-key to sudo apt-key?
[01:14] <apb1963> derp.  Thought I tried that.  nvm.  TY  :)
[01:15] <evilbug> whatisthematrix: i'm not, it's just that on mac os there is only one gui app that compresses tar and other stuff which is free.
[01:15] <whatisthematrix> evilbug: ahh, okay. rgr
[01:16] <idueppe> Bashing-om, thx but I don't think so, because before 10 days I never installed a linux server :-)
[01:16] <evilbug> whatisthematrix: the thing is that i have a few terminals open when developing anyway so it's a bit easier to just type a command when i'm right in it.
[01:17] <isosceles> Seven_Six_Two: dmesg output at http://pastebin.com/8Q01CjeN
[01:17] <whatisthematrix> evilbug: ya

[01:17] <zbrkxbr> I've got this
[01:17] <Bashing-om> apb1963: try as so: "gpg --export --armor E18CE6625CB26B26 | sudo apt-key add -" .
[01:17] <isosceles> Seven_Six_Two:  on the usb2 hub -- keyboard and mouse both have problems
[01:19] <apb1963> Bashing-om: yeah as rww pointed out, I was missing the sudo from apt-key.  Thanks :)
[01:19] <isosceles> Seven_Six_Two: keyboard stops functioning at random; cursor/pointer displays about 1 cm above activity (e.g. hold arrow 1 cm above desired object to click)
[01:22] <Bashing-om> idueppe: It is all a process of learning, I wish I could help.

[01:32] <catalase_> any way to quick format an ext3?
[01:34] <laphlaw> need help with upstart jobs.. is this the place for help?
[01:35] <somsip> !upstart | laphlaw (but, yes)
[01:36] <somsip> catalase_: mkfs.ext3 ? Check the man page for a quick format maybe?
[01:36] <laphlaw> yeah.. i'm having a problem with environment variables
[01:36] <somsip> laphlaw: you can ask, but I have no idea personally
[01:36] <DeHackEd> I'm missing package repositories on my (debootstrap'd) system. specifically 32 bit packages. not sure what I need to do to enable them. I'm trying to install steam, it wants to install libc6:i386  among others, and fails.
[01:36] <laphlaw> it doesn't find any variables
[01:36] <laphlaw> and i try to source my bashrc file, but that seems to fail
[01:37] <somsip> laphlaw: upstart jobs are not run by your user so maybe you need to setup ENVs in the script?
[01:38] <Seven_Six_Two> isosceles,   end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 0
[01:40] <DeHackEd> never mind, got it. I think I needed to install "libc6-i386" to enable something...
[01:40] <glitsj16> laphlaw: you can use env to set things up --> http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#env
[02:18] <anonynimity> hi. I'm having an issue with my wifi... it says it's connected but the actual connection will drop after a few minutes, if I reconnect, it stays alive for a bit, then drops again... this is after an upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04. is there a way to fix this? I have tried "sudo modprobe-r iwlwifi and sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1". that command says module iwlwifi not found.
[02:21] <apb1963> so...I installed chrome... it was working... now it's not.  I click on the icon.... it bounces for a bit... and then it disappears and no browser comes up.
[02:23] <Ozzie_> hello
[02:24] <Ozzie_> i have a question.
[02:25] <Bashing-om> Ozzie_: !Ask Ozzie
[02:25] <somsip> apb1963: try running from the command line and look for errors
[02:25] <Ozzie_> if i download ubuntu and put it on a usb flash using the program that the site gives you. would i be able to change my usb stick back to normal?.
[02:26] <Ozzie_> i dont understand the process much
[02:26] <Beldar> Ozzie_, you can reformat a usb always
[02:26] <Ozzie_> so i can change it back to normal after i make a bootable flash stick?
[02:27] <Bashing-om> Ozzie_: Yes, After the install is completed to a hard drive.
[02:27] <rww> or if you decide you don't want to use it
[02:27] <Pessimist> apb1963, try running it from the terminal
[02:27] <Ozzie_> alright thanks guys. its a 16 gig flash drive, i didnt want it to go to waste
[02:28] <Ozzie_> on a small file.
[02:28] <Ozzie_> you guys have a good night. thanks a lot
[02:28] <apb1963> somsip: Pessimist: good idea....  just need to find it's path
[02:29] <Pessimist> apb1963, just enter 'chromium' or 'chromium-browser' (don't remember which one)
[02:29] <apb1963> Pessimist: neither one is found
[02:30] <Pessimist> apb1963, then it's chrome/google-chrome/googlechrome
[02:31] <apb1963> that's not an absolute path
[02:32] <apb1963> so again... not found
[02:32] <Pessimist> why would you need one?
[02:32] <somsip> apb1963: google-chrome if it's that version rather than chromium
[02:33] <apb1963> google-chrome
[02:33] <apb1963> Created new window in existing browser session.
[02:33] <apb1963> except... I don't see it.
[02:33] <Pessimist> killall google-chrome and try again
[02:33] <somsip> apb1963: so it's either already running, or it just thinks it's already running... Try 'sudo killall google-chrome'
[02:34] <apb1963> argh.  killall not found
[02:34] <apb1963> how could killall not be on my system?
[02:35] <Pessimist> apb1963, pkill google-chrome

[02:39] <universal> system clock disappeared, how to bring it back ? http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=902ebec
[02:39] <apb1963> I just love apps that change their name :)
[02:39] <c_nick> any room for scripting : MS Build
[02:39] <somsip> !alis | c_nick
[02:41] <apb1963> 'k  that fixes it. Thanks Pessimist & somsip
[02:41] <somsip> apb1963: np
[02:41] <c_nick> thanks somsip
[02:41] <Pessimist> universal, it's in system settings -> time & date and there's an check in the second tab to show it in the panel
[02:42] <apb1963> this is crazy....  I fire up knotes and it starts a second session of my irc client - quassel
[02:42] <apb1963> and knotes doesn't come up
[02:42] <universal> Pessimist: its faded out
[02:43] <apb1963> however if I run knotes from the command line I get: QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.  .... and then knotes starts.
[02:43] <Pessimist> universal, what's the output of apt-cache policy indicator-datetime ?
[02:44] <shreezbot> Ok, I have a major problem and I don't know what to do...
[02:44] <Pessimist> !ask
[02:44] <shreezbot> I think I have a ext4 partition that has become corrupted and while I thought it was being backed up, it doesn't seem that it was...
[02:46] <shreezbot> We're talking family pictures and stuff, and I don't know what to do to see if I can recover it...
[02:46] <shreezbot> I'm worried that something that I try might cause me to lose all hope of getting my files back...
[02:47] <apb1963> shreezbot: why do you think it's corrupted?
[02:47] <universal> Pessimist: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/maths$ apt-cache policy indicator-datetime indicator-datetime:   Installed: 13.10.0+13.10.20131016.2-0ubuntu1   Candidate: 13.10.0+13.10.20131023.2-0ubuntu1   Version table:      13.10.0+13.10.20131023.2-0ubuntu1 0         500 file:/media/ubuntu/sony/repository/ubuntu/ saucy-updates/main amd64 Packages  *** 13.10.0+13.10.20131016.2-0ubuntu1 0         500 file:/media/ubuntu/sony/repository/ubuntu/ saucy/mai
[02:47] <Pessimist> universal, basically you need to install indicator-datetime (sudo apt-get install indicator-datetime), (then restart unity/pc/X,) and try to go to system settings -> date & time and it should be working
[02:47] <shreezbot> apb1963, I have several directories that I now can't access...  I'm getting an I/O error...
[02:47] <whatisthematrix> shreezbot: you could try 'testdisk' i suppose. i don't know anything about it another than it's description
[02:48] <whatisthematrix> !info testdisk
[02:48] <universal> Pessimist: it was working before, I was solving some other problem and rebooted the system, and date time disappeared
[02:48] <apb1963> i/o error sounds like a bad disk, no?
[02:49] <shreezbot> apb1963, Yea, it does...
[02:49] <shreezbot> apb1963, I thought crashplan was backing it up, but it doesn't look like it was...
[02:49] <Pessimist> universal, http://askubuntu.com/questions/357266/how-to-show-time-in-ubuntu-13-10 -- try the 1st answer
[02:49] <whatisthematrix> shreezbot: how old is the drive?
[02:49] <shreezbot> Probably a year or so
[02:50] <apb1963> shreezbot: Always verify backups... join ##backup for discussion on backups
[02:50] <shreezbot> whatisthematrix, It is a 3TB drive
[02:50] <universal> Pessimist: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=d855407 I tried dconf-editor also but no use
[02:50] <glitsj16> shreezbot: have you ran a fsck on it yet?
[02:50] <Mendel> hey geeks!
[02:50] <shreezbot> apb1963, Crashplan is supposed to verify backups, but it apparently wasn't...
[02:50] <apb1963> shreezbot: You could also try smartctl
[02:50] <whatisthematrix> shreezbot: roger. not really that old. i'm starting to keep my stuff backed up because my drive is starting to get on the old side
[02:50] <Bashing-om> shreezbot: Have you tried to mount the partition(s) in question from a liveDVD ? See then if you  have access to the files ??
[02:51] <Mendel> any girls on here?
[02:51] <Mendel> or just duddes
[02:51] <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] <Beldar> Mendel, this is ubuntu support gender is offtopic
[02:51] <shreezbot> apb1963, Yea, hindsight...  :)
[02:51] <Pessimist> !offtopic | Mendel
[02:51] <Mendel> hahahaha ok nppp
[02:51] <apb1963> shreezbot: we live, we learn.... there's always a next time.
[02:52] <shreezbot> apb1963, Very true...
[02:52] <shreezbot> ext4 partitions are "EFI GPT" partitions, correct?
[02:53] <apb1963> shreezbot: try smartctl, testdisk as whatisthematrix stated, and there's always fsck as glitsj16 mentioned
[02:54] <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...
[02:55] <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
[02:56] <norad> hi i have a quastion can you install the latest version of vlc on ubuntu 12.04 ?
[02:57] <Pessimist> !ppa
[02:58] <Pessimist> !ppa | norad
[02:58] <whatisthematrix> norad: there might be a 'ppa' for 12.04 that has it. i don't know though. but you can always compile from source, which is something i like doing
[02:58] <shreezbot> apb1963, This is an example of what I get if I attempt to do an LS on the root of the drive "ls: cannot access Watched: Input/output error"
[02:58] <gno1404> hi, I am trying live dvd of 14.04 with gnome
[02:58] <gno1404> is there a way to use layout shortcuts
[02:58] <gno1404> doesn't seem to work
[02:58] <Beldar> gno1404, 14.04 is #ubuntu+1
[02:59] <whatisthematrix> gno1404: cool. i'm running 14.04, but this isn't the channel for it...  do --> /join ubuntu+1
[03:00] <norad> tryed the vlc master branch ppa cant install cant check the windows in the update manager
[03:01] <anonymous_> hi
[03:02] <anonymous_> hello
[03:02] <anonymous_> ?
[03:04] <Landswellsong> Hi. Can anybody help me out with determining where does udev take the $PATH for the RUN directive?
[03:05] <Bashing-om> shreezbot: Recon you can access the partitions from a liveDVD, see about the staus of those partitions(s) ??
[03:05] <isosceles> Seven_Six_Two: are you still with me? how do i "end_request"?
[03:06] <shreezbot> Bashing-om, I'll have to figure out how to create a Live-DVD really fast...  I'm actually new to Ubuntu (as if you couldn't tell) and I'm a little out of my element...
[03:07] <Bashing-om> shreezbot: How id you install ubuntu ? .. Generally that medium (if it is a desktop) will do.
[03:07] <shreezbot> Bashing-om, I do have a DVD that I installed from
[03:09] <rosentrotter> Is it possible to Dual-Boot Ubuntu 12.04 with Windows 8 without having to crazy configure things
[03:09] <Bashing-om> shreezbot:  That my friend is th liveDVD ..If I may, Boot from the liveDVD to a trerminal .. and show us the output of terminal command: fdisk -lu <- and we can tell you how to mount those partitions.
[03:10] <apb1963> Bashing-om:  He said he could access the drive:  apb1963, This is an example of what I get if I attempt to do an LS on the root of the drive "ls: cannot access Watched: Input/output error"
[03:10] <apb1963> Bashing-om: So no need to boot the livecd ?
[03:13] <apb1963> Bashing-om: so I think smartctl, testdisk and fsck should do him.... no?
[03:13] <Bashing-om> shreezbot: Well, I know - even in light of the above - I would try and see what I could access on that drive. I know of no better way than mounting partitions from an external means
[03:14] <AcidRain2012> happy new year to all ubuntu users.
[03:14] <shreezbot> apb1963, I'm running a testdisk on it now to see if that reveals anything.
[03:15] <shreezbot> apb1963, In the meantime, before I do anything else, I'm trying to copy what data I can off of the drive...
[03:16] <apb1963> having never before used or heard of testdisk... I just installed it... it only detects one of my disks and gets the wrong size and device name for it.  That makes me nervous.
[03:17] <universal> Pessimist: thnx, time is good now, its restored :) --- ps -ef | grep unity-panel-service then killall unity-panel-service did the job for me thnx again :)
[03:17] <apb1963> I retract that statement... I wasn't running it as root :)
[03:18] <isosceles> can anybody figure out why my usb hubs don't work with multiple devices? i have a modern computer with usb3 and usb2 ports. for my usb3 hub, external hd beeps and UCA202 sound card does not function. for my usb2 hub, the UCA202 doesn't work and the keyboard barely works.
[03:18] <AcidRain2012> i heard testdisk is the only known linux virus
[03:19] <apb1963> shreezbot: smartctl can be found in the smartmontools package
[03:20] <universal> how to offline install ttf-mathematica4.1 like offline installation of ttf-mscorefonts-installer and flashplugin-installer? I have all the files necessary for ttf-mathematica4.1 mirrored locally
[03:21] <shreezbot> apb1963, I'm looking for smartctl now...  :)
[03:21] <apb1963> shreezbot: apt-get install smartmontools
[03:22] <aegis> Hi all, anyway to make squid3 only communicate on tun0 or to make it use my dante port (127.0.0.1:1080)
[03:23] <aegis> ?
[03:23] <apb1963> bash: man: command not found.....  wtf?
[03:28] <glitsj16> universal: you have .deb files you want to install manually?
[03:29] <glitsj16> apb1963: earlier you didn't have killall, now man .. is this a recent install ?
[03:29] <apb1963> glitsj16: yes.  last night in fact
[03:29] <universal> glitsj16: I have the debs setup as local mirror, like local/dir/pool/multiverse/m/mathematica-fonts/debs and also the tarball which it tris to download from its parent site
[03:29] <glitsj16> apb1963: very odd indeed
[03:30] <apb1963> glitsj16: I used debootstrap to do it
[03:30] <apb1963> glitsj16: I'm wondering if it's in build-essentials
[03:30] <whatisthematrix> apb1963: perhaps you need to install a bunch of stuff. perhaps you have a very minimal install so far
[03:30] <apb1963> whatisthematrix: Yeah, most likely.  Pieceing the system together bit by bit and taking names
[03:31] <whatisthematrix> apb1963: rgr
[03:31] <apb1963> ?
[03:31] <apb1963> rgr?
[03:31] <apb1963> rogain gets results?
[03:31] <whatisthematrix> apb1963: rgr = roger. as in like i hear you, 10-4
[03:31] <apb1963> oh lol
[03:32] <Landswellsong> any udev guru to help out with a little regression in 13.10?
[03:32] <whatisthematrix> affirmative!
[03:32] <glitsj16> apb1963: killall is part of psmisc
[03:32] <apb1963> affirmative will robinson
[03:32] <whatisthematrix> lol
[03:32] <universal> glitsj16: any suggestions ?
[03:33] <apb1963> glitsj16: interesting place to put it.... ty
[03:33] <glitsj16> universal: cd to where the .debs are and .. sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb
[03:34] <universal> glitsj16: no use coz it tried to download the main tarball file from net otherwise it gives error
[03:34] <glitsj16> apb1963: i use dlocate to solve most of those 'now where did they put that' issues
[03:34] <apb1963> -bash: dlocate: command not found
[03:35] <whatisthematrix> apb1963: how about just 'locate'?
[03:35] <glitsj16> apb1963: sudo apt-get install dlocate .. doesn't come by default
[03:35] <apb1963> glitsj16: I've been using apt-file
[03:35] <glitsj16> apb1963: sure, that works as well, dlocate is fast
[03:35] <glitsj16> really fast
[03:35] <apb1963> whatisthematrix: -bash: locate: command not found
[03:36] <Phlow> what do you folks use to create UEFI bootable USB sticks with Ubuntu installer on them?
[03:36] <apb1963> glitsj16: it checks packages?
[03:36] <glitsj16> apb1963: it's a fast alternative to dpkg -L and dpkg -S
[03:36] <Phlow> and is there a way to allow both Windows 8 and Ubuntu installers to co-exist on the same USB stick with UEFI?
[03:37] <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: so the  name of the package for the locate command is just 'locate'
[03:37] <glitsj16> universal: what error do you get? still not sure why you don't install those thru a regular apt-get install
[03:38] <apb1963> whatisthematrix: so you're saying install locate?
[03:38] <whatisthematrix> apb1963: and glitsj16 already told you about  dlocate :)
[03:38] <Phlow> Beldar, if I create a win8 usb installer, then use YUMI to add Ubuntu, it ALWAYS goes directly to win8, with secure boot on
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <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> Phlow, I believe this app will install in fedora, I use this for my usb iso loading, it has W8 and many linux iso's loaded.
[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"
[03:40] <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?
[03:41] <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
[03:42] <universal> !locate
[03:43] <universal> !whereis
[03:43] <universal> !which
[03:43] <Beldar> Phlow, been awhile since I used yumi, you confined to what OS for loading the ISO's?
[03:44] <Phlow> Beldar, only have windows 8 running at the moment
[03:45] <Beldar> Phlow, And you want to install ubuntu?
[03:45] <apb1963> installing LAMP
[03:45] <Phlow> Beldar, trying to reimage my new laptop to dual boot
[03:48] <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.
[03:49] <Beldar> Phlow, If you are re-imaging the W8 make sure you have the correct activation key.
[03:50] <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
[03:53] <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.
[03:54] <Phlow> clearly YUMI can't do it
[03:56] <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
[03:58] <Beldar> Phlow, I would make a thread at the ubuntu forums on your issues, the author of that thread is focused on this area and will most likely help you on a thread.

[04:16] <somsip> sec_: or 'date'. Not sure what you mean actually
[04:16] <somsip> sec_: can you upload files?
[04:16] <universal> how to install ttf-mathematica4.1 offline which tries to download a tarball over net like offline installation of ttf-mscorefonts-installer and flashplugin-installer ? I have all the debs and deps with the tarball mirrored locally as repos/multiverse/m/xxxxx
[04:17] <sec_> somsip: i don't
[04:17] <somsip> sec_: then the admin doesn't want you to do that.
[04:17] <sec_> somsip: thanks
[04:18] <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
[04:20] <[[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
[04:21] <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
[04:22] <glitsj16> universal: apparently the place you put the local mirror line in /etc/apt/sources.list is important
[04:23] <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.
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <[[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
[04:26] <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?
[04:27] <glitsj16> universal: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list? the echo to set-selections seems rather hackish
[04:28] <universal> glitsj16: echo set-selections method is posted on askubuntu and ubuntuforums
[04:29] <universal> http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=836751e glitsj16
[04:30] <glitsj16> universal: sure, but it doesn't seem to work for everything in your mirror .. or i completely misunderstand your situation
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <glitsj16> universal: i think that is happening because your local mirror isn't having priority
[04:36] <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
[04:38] <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
[04:39] <universal> glitsj16: apt-cacher-ng ? throw some light
[04:39] <glitsj16> !apt-cacher-ng | universal
[04:40] <glitsj16> universal: that's a caching proxy server for software repositories
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <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
[04:45] <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] <universal> ello hydrian
[04:46] <cammylewis> need help setting up guys ... i cant partition
[04:47] <Beldar> !details | cammylewis
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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)
[04:49] <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
[04:51] <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.
[04:52] <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
[04:53] <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.
[04:54] <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.
[04:55] <Beldar> cammylewis, Can you open gparted on ubuntu and take a screenshot of it and imagebin it?
[04:55] <intense> ok thanks Beldar
[04:56] <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] <oaulakh> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6676661/
[04:56] <oaulakh> okkk
[04:56] <intense> Beldar: I am going to reinstall from scratch - any idea if there is a good step-by-step out there?
[04:57] <shade_> clear
[04:58] <CosmikDaniel> You all work for Brother Miguel, so that you may keep me his.
[04:59] <Beldar> intense, I would post that boot info and ask that question there, you have a HD with a gpt partition table, so its not real complex, however there are those focused exactly on this there.
[04:59] <CosmikDaniel> hi
[04:59] <sec_> what does "wget -qO -" do?
[04:59] <intense> Thanks Beldar, will do.
[04:59] <CosmikDaniel> hi
[04:59] <pylearner> what is the best deal online for a mining rig currently i want to mine but dont want to get ripped off
[04:59] <rww> sec_: hides error and info output, and puts the thing it downloads in standard output
[05:00] <rww> pylearner: mining is going to rip you off regardless of what you get right now
[05:00] <sec_> rww: thanks.
[05:00] <CosmikDaniel> You all work for Brother Miguel, so that you may keep me his.
[05:01] <rww> CosmikDaniel: Hi, welcome to #ubuntu, the technical support channel for Ubuntu. How can we help today :)?
[05:01] <apb1963> CosmikDaniel: Brother Miguel owes me backpay.
[05:03] <pylearner> rww it just seems like it takes big money up front but you can roi in 3 months
[05:03] <Apteryx> Could someone test something related to the bluetooth applet for me?
[05:04] <pylearner> good ol days are gone and one does have to subscribe to big business and asics i just got into this too late obviously
[05:04] <Apteryx> I'm trying to see if I am facing a hardware specific problem or just a general bug
[05:04] <rww> pylearner: you can't ROI in 3 months. go look up a mining calculator and see how much money you'll make even assuming difficulty stays the same (which it won't)
[05:05] <rww> pylearner: anyways, this isn't really on-topic for this channel. Try joining #bitcoin-mining :)
[05:08] <michael__> Hello
[05:08] <pylearner> hardware breakeven 82 days
[05:10] <michael__> When I run the command 'parted -s test.img "mkpart fat32 2s -1s"', I get the error 'parted: invalid token: fat32'.
[05:10] <michael__> However, help mkpart lists fat32 as one of the options for that field
[05:11] <michael__> Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[05:11] <CosmikDaniel> You all work for Brother Miguel, so that you may keep me his.You all work for Brother Miguel, so that you may keep me his.
[05:11] <ctomgo> I have installed libdvdcss/restricted extras but still cant play lots of dvd isos  what am i missing?
[05:12] <michael__> ctomgo, there's a script you have to run after installing.
[05:12] <michael__> I don't remember what though
[05:12] <ctomgo> i did that
[05:12] <elky> CosmikDaniel: brother miguel asks that you not discuss this here.
[05:12] <ctomgo> and rebooted
[05:12] <ctomgo> for the libdvdcss part anyway
[05:12] <elky> CosmikDaniel: he also asks that you leave the channel if you cannot abide bu the channel's guidelines
[05:13] <ctomgo> install-css.sh
[05:13] <CosmikDaniel> ok elky
[05:13] <CosmikDaniel> bithc
[05:14] <ctomgo> :/
[05:14] <Punkwars> hola
[05:14] <ctomgo> michael What was your problem? I didnt see the first part
[05:14] <Punkwars> alguien me lee por ahi ???
[05:14] <ctomgo> hello punkwars, no hobla
[05:14] <michael__> When I run the command 'parted -s test.img "mkpart fat32 2s -1s"', I get the error 'parted: invalid token: fat32\nError: Expecting a partition type.'.
[05:14] <michael__> However, help mkpart lists fat32 as one of the options for that field
[05:16] <Punkwars> hola
[05:17] <Punkwars> alguien me lee???
[05:17] <somsip> !es | Punkwars
[05:17] <somsip> or maybe !pt
[05:17] <ctomgo> no clue
[05:18] <ctomgo> i just want to watch dvd rips ;/
[05:18] <michael__> ctomgo: Are they already copied?
[05:18] <ctomgo> yes
[05:19] <ctomgo> avi mpeg   what not
[05:19] <michael__> ctomgo: Did you copy them or someone else?
[05:19] <ctomgo> oh and .wmv
[05:19] <ctomgo> someone else
[05:19] <Punkwars> #ubuntu-es
[05:19] <ctomgo> lots of random people :P
[05:20] <somsip> Punkwars: /join #ubuntu-es
[05:20] <michael__> ctomgo: Did you download them from the publishers website, or get from a friend?
[05:20] <michael__> ctomgo: Also, css encryption is only on the optical disk
[05:20] <ctomgo> I used a really great program called Transmission to recover them from my own personal cloud storage solution called torrents >;)
[05:21] <ctomgo> michael__, I was starting to gather that but went through with anything off ubuntu site for playing dvd/video
[05:22] <somsip> ctomgo: so what are you trying to play them with?
[05:22] <ctomgo> parole vlc xine
[05:22] <michael__> ctomgo: How are you attempting to play them? In my experience, the video player included with ubuntu didn't work for videos longer than a few minutes
[05:22] <ctomgo> anything at this point
[05:22] <michael__> I use smplayer to play videos
[05:22] <somsip> ctomgo: use vlc. That's it
[05:23] <ctomgo> That was my first stop
[05:23] <somsip> ctomgo: dragging details from you is real tedious. What problems are you actually having
[05:23] <ctomgo> oh, sorry. Ill just keep searching.  Thanks for the though though.
[05:24] <michael__> When I run the command 'parted -s test.img "mkpart fat32 2s -1s"', I get the error 'parted: invalid token: fat32\nError: Expecting a partition type.'.
[05:24] <ctomgo> +t
[05:24] <michael__> However, help mkpart lists fat32 as one of the options for that field
[05:26] <michael__> Ok, I figured out the solution for my problem.  The documentation included with the program appeared to be wrong
[05:27] <ctomgo> michael__, mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
[05:27] <ctomgo> you have to have the part type before fat32 dont you?
[05:27] <ctomgo> or does it default? :p
[05:27] <somsip> michael__: the manual here suggests a part-typoe is required with mkpart. Maybe you got mkfs and mkpart command mixed up?
[05:27] <CosmikDaniel> i have a question about freenode?
[05:27] <CosmikDaniel> what is its primary purpose?
[05:27] <CosmikDaniel> is it for software dev?
[05:28] <somsip> CosmikDaniel: go to #freenode please
[05:28] <rww> CosmikDaniel: yes
[05:28] <rww> CosmikDaniel: or more generally, peer-directed project coordination
[05:28] <ctomgo> and sharing rice crispy recipes
[05:28] <michael__> The documentation in my copy doesn't seem to include the part-type field
[05:28] <CosmikDaniel> hmm
[05:28] <michael__> It works with that added.

[05:30] <oaulakh> how to install finalterm in ubuntu?
[05:30] <oj16> no idea
[05:31] <somsip> oaulakh: http://linoxide.com/ubuntu-how-to/install-finalterm-terminal-emulator-ubuntu/
[05:31] <somsip> !ppa | oaulakh (but bear this in mind)
[05:31] <ctomgo> you can get it from git also
[05:32] <somsip> ctomgo: equally unsupported
[05:32] <michael__> Is ubottu a bot?
[05:32] <oaulakh> ok
[05:32] <somsip> michael__: yes
[05:32] <oj16> but third party ppa provide latest update
[05:32] <oaulakh> how?
[05:32] <somsip> oj16: they usually are. they're still not suported here
[05:32] <michael__> How is ubottu used?
[05:33] <somsip> !brain | michael__
[05:33] <oaulakh> is there any easy like apt-get
[05:34] <oj16> try aptitude its better than apt-get
[05:34] <somsip> oaulakh: official blog suggest PPA only http://blog.finalterm.org/
[05:34] <somsip> !aptitude | oj16
[05:34] <oaulakh> is there any easy way like apt-get to install finalterm
[05:34] <somsip> oaulakh: just answered that one. Please wait a while before repeating requests
[05:35] <Angel_of_Sorrow> hi guys
[05:35] <ctomgo> hi
[05:35] <oj16> hi
[05:35] <michael__> hi
[05:36] <Angel_of_Sorrow> does ubuntu still ship with "Unity"?
[05:36] <oj16> yeah
[05:36] <somsip> Angel_of_Sorrow: yes. It's the default WM/DE
[05:36] <Angel_of_Sorrow> what do you think of it?
[05:36] <michael__> Unity is aweful
[05:36] <Angel_of_Sorrow> yeah
[05:36] <oj16> gnome is better
[05:37] <Angel_of_Sorrow> i was wondering....does it work on tablets?
[05:37] <Angel_of_Sorrow> cause id consider buying one if it did
[05:37] <somsip> Angel_of_Sorrow: you need to look at #ubuntu-touch for that
[05:37] <michael__> tablets are the reason for unity
[05:37] <somsip> !touch | Angel_of_Sorrow
[05:37] <oj16> unity is developed for phones and tablets
[05:38] <Angel_of_Sorrow> i thought the standard ubuntu release would work on touch devices. as you said that's what it was made for.
[05:38] <Angel_of_Sorrow> ?
[05:38] <somsip> oj16: unity was developed first for laptops. It's now the default DE for all Ubuntu
[05:38] <somsip> Angel_of_Sorrow: no. It's still in development. Look at the links provided to learn more.
[05:38] <Beldar> oj16, Can you not make mindless comments this is support.
[05:38] <michael__> Angel_of_Sorrow: it's *designed* for tablets
[05:38] <Angel_of_Sorrow> thx som
[05:38] <somsip> michael__: see my comment above ^^
[05:39] <JNewton344> Hello all
[05:39] <somsip> Angel_of_Sorrow: np. Not trying to push you out of here, just trying to keep this on the topic of suport-only :)
[05:39] <michael__> somsip: I have like 5 seconds of lag on my end
[05:39] <somsip> michael__: fair enough
[05:39] <lotuspsychje> 13.10 supports tablets too, so i hear..
[05:40] <oj16> is there any way to use gnome latest in ubuntu 12.04
[05:41] <somsip> oj16: depends what you mean by "latest". Take a look at !gnome (or !gnome-desktop)
[05:41] <ctomgo> oj16, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3   might help
[05:42] <oj16> i mean 3.8
[05:42] <somsip> !info gnome precise
[05:42] <ctomgo> that is the repository for it
[05:43] <somsip> oj16: hmmm. NOt so helpful. You might be looking at a PPA like ctomgo suggests, but you won't get support here for that
[05:43] <ctomgo> if you use that repo and install gnome desktop it will grab the absolute newest one
[05:45] <somsip> ctomgo: actually, the home page suggests that 3.4 is available for 12.04 https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3
[05:46] <ctomgo> oops.
[05:46] <somsip> oj16: either way, someting like gnome-desktop will pull in a lot of dependencies that may or may not play nicely with the rest of your system. It's a big thing to use a PPA for. Be warned.
[05:47] <Angel_of_Sorrow> You all work for Brother Miguel, so that you may keep me his.
[05:48] <michael__> Angel_of_Sorrow: Who is Brother Miguel?
[05:49] <srikwit> Hello
[05:49] <michael__> Hi
[05:50] <oj16> what is difference between gnome shell and gnome desktop environment, with extra components
[05:50] <michael__> for one, One is a lot bigger than the other
[05:50] <oj16> yeah
[05:52] <oj16> which one is better celestia or stellarium
[05:52] <michael__> oj16: I think that gnome shell is just the necessary parts, such as the desktop, and the big one contains gnome shell, a calculator, several games, et al
[05:54] <somsip> !best | oj16 (try each and decide for yourself)
[05:55] <oj16> my middle mouse button has stop working in ubuntu from last 2 days any cause for that
[05:55] <oj16> yo homie
[05:55] <somsip> oj16: can you test it in another PC?
[05:56] <oj16> i have dual booted my pc with windows 7 and it working in it
[05:56] <somsip> oj16: and does it work in windows?
[05:56] <oj16> yeah
[05:57] <Guest79554> Is there a general way of uninstalling applications in Ubuntu?
[05:57] <somsip> oj16: have you made any upgrades or installed anything new in Ubuntu in the last few days?
[05:57] <somsip> Guest79554: do you prefer GUI or command line?
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> !purge | Guest79554
[05:57] <Guest79554> I would like to know the command line version
[05:57] <somsip> lotuspsychje: not really the best one for his needs I think
[05:58] <somsip> Guest79554: sudo apt-get remove {package}, or sudo apt-get purge {package} to remove config files too
[05:58] <Guest79554> ahhh ok thank you
[05:58] <somsip> Guest79554: np
[05:58] <Guest79554> is there a way to get a dump of the correct naming of all applications?
[05:58] <oj16> yeah some apps
[05:59] <somsip> Guest79554: oh. Purge might not remove manually added conf files, like those in ~/ that you've amended
[05:59] <Angel_of_Sorrow> You all work for Brother Miguel, so that you may keep me his.
[05:59] <somsip> Guest79554: use tab, or dpkg --get-selections
[05:59] <rww> Angel_of_Sorrow: I don't think that's a good support question. Would you mind rephrasing?
[06:00] <Guest79554> anyone know what whoopsie is?

[06:29] <somsip> !aptitude | hellyeah
[06:29] <somsip> hellyeah: the relevant bit is the multiarch error you have in your output
[06:30] <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
[06:31] <hellyeah> rww:  i installed ubuntu yesterday
[06:31] <helpme> somsip : 5.1
[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] <helpme> ubuntu :12.04 and mysql 5.1
[06:32] <hellyeah> somsip:  http://dpaste.com/1533220/
[06:32] <helpme> which line enabling the error log ?
[06:33] <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.
[06:34] <hellyeah> somsip:  what should i do?
[06:34] <somsip> helpme: edit it and see if you can find it yourself.
[06:34] <hellyeah> reinstall ubuntu
[06:34] <hellyeah> ?
[06:35] <kate_r> hi
[06:35] <kate_r> does anyone know how to use curl to store a binary data in the body of the request?
[06:35] <hellyeah> pls tell me something
[06:36] <mrhai0811> join archlinux
[06:37] <hellyeah> what
[06:37] <apollojustice> james avery is kill :(
[06:37] <hellyeah> my system is broken?
[06:38] <somsip> hellyeah: I doubt it. You may need to look into dpkg-reconfigure
[06:38] <hellyeah> dpkg-reconfigure -a you meant
[06:38] <somsip> kate_r: man cure, but it's --data-binary @{filename}
[06:39] <somsip> hellyeah: if you want to use the -a flag with it, go for it.
[06:39] <kate_r> somsip, i've just figured it out. i needed to make the content-type explicit as well
[06:39] <somsip> kate_r: that's proably in the man too
[06:39] <somsip> kate_r: I meant, man curl earlier. Typo...
[06:41] <michael__> Is there a way I can restart the unity laucher without closing anything else?
[06:42] <helpme> somsip , #log-bin = var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log -> log-bin = var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log ... its correct ?
[06:42] <somsip> Mike9863: http://is.gd/xCR4EY
[06:42] <somsip> helpme: no, that's the log bin. Look for log_error
[06:42] <hellyeah> somsip:  it seems i removed some files i shouldnt delete
[06:42] <hellyeah> is there a way to fix apt
[06:43] <somsip> hellyeah: oops. That'll break stuff :-/ Try repairing? Searches for 'apt-get repair' give loads of results but I'd only be filtering for you as I have no idea myself
[06:44] <hellyeah> hmm
[06:44] <helpme> i dont see log-error :( ?
[06:44] <helpme> somsip
[06:46] <somsip> helpme: log_error. Difficult as you are using an old version of mysql. This guides you, but I don't know if it will work with your version http://is.gd/1NrLRB
[06:50] <Biomechd> hey guys, my rhythmbox has been crashing and freezing lately with no warning for no apparent reason. here's a terminal output after deciding to run it from the command line to get an output: http://www.pasteall.org/48400
[06:50] <Gallomimia> damn. i thought there would be a new version of this driver :/
[06:51] <cem_> SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
[06:52] <cem_> do i have e error?
[06:52] <somsip> Biomechd: any recent updates to rhythmbox?
[06:54] <Biomechd> somsip: if so, they would've been part of the normal system updates that pop up on pretty much a daily basis.
[06:55] <somsip> Biomechd: all searches lead to 1) it's a specific album, 2) remove your ~/.local/share/rhythmbox folder, 3) remove and reinstall
[06:55] <somsip> oh. $) it's a specific plugin
[06:55] <somsip> er..4)
[06:55] <somsip> Biomechd: which all reads like it's a bit flakey to me
[06:57] <helpme> somsip , i followed the steps , but if mysql won't run , so how can i see the errors ?
[06:57] <helpme> mysql won't start :(
[06:57] <somsip> helpme: try /var/log/syslog then
[06:58] <somsip> helpme: but if it starts at all, it should create a log at the location pointed to by log_error in the cnf file
[07:02] <michael__> My launcher is only half on the screen
[07:04] <cpt_othello> Hello
[07:04] <michael__> Hi
[07:06] <cpt_othello> So i've been trying for the past few days to see if I could make a partition of  my external work as a bootable live usb. just about to pull out my hair. is it even possible or am I grasping at straws trying to get it work? Also, is there another name for live-helper? can't seem to find the package
[07:06] <michael__> cpt_othello: details?
[07:06] <michael__> My launcher is only half on the screen
[07:08] <cpt_othello> michael__, what can i get you?
[07:09] <theadmin> cpt_othello: Partition? Not as live. But you can install Ubuntu to it.
[07:09] <theadmin> cpt_othello: Just like you install to a regular hard drive.
[07:12] <Guest79554> When calling dpkg --get-selections.  Because the list is rather long, is there a way to produce a report of it in segments?
[07:12] <Guest79554> for ease of navigation and view
[07:12] <theadmin> Guest79554: dpkg --get-selections | less?
[07:13] <Guest79554> aha thank you
[07:13] <theadmin> Guest79554: Or save it to a file: dpkg --get-selections | tee filename
[07:13] <Guest79554> right
[07:13] <Guest79554> thank you
[07:13] <cpt_othello> theadmin, I'm just trying to get it to boot so I can put it on the other internal hdd. Got two in here and am trying to avoid having to burn a disk or scrounge for an extra usb
[07:13] <q0> I can't find anything on web about the browser "links" not showing images.
[07:13] <Wiz_KeeD> hello guys
[07:14] <q0> how do you google something like this ? it just gives irrelevant results
[07:14] <q0> and how do i troubleshoot this, it doesn't look like it's terminal's capability fault
[07:14] <q0> or something equally interesting
[07:14] <q0> any help apprecaited
[07:15] <theadmin> cpt_othello: Oh... Hm... What OS does the PC currently run?
[07:16] <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.
[07:17] <aeon-ltd> q0: the browser 'links' or hyperlinks(on a webpage)?
[07:17] <q0> the browser links
[07:17] <aeon-ltd> q0: you might need a framebuffer addon or something
[07:17] <q0> but it shows with calibration
[07:18] <aeon-ltd> q0: check options if it's disabled?
[07:18] <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.
[07:19] <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
[07:20] <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
[07:21] <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.
[07:22] <cpt_othello> theadmin, thanks i'm getting on that now. ...what's VMDK?
[07:22] <theadmin> cpt_othello: Eh, file format
[07:22] <theadmin> cpt_othello: Some disk image. Don't know what exactly it stands for, that doesn't really matter :D
[07:23] <vbgunz> can anyone recommend a simple, out of the way method to read-only (not write) ext4 from windows 7?
[07:23] <john_rambo> I am using Fedora ........ Yesterday for troubleshooting reasons I booted from the Ubutu live cd and found that fedora has set file permissions in my home folder in such manner that I cant access those files from the live cd. I guess SELINUX has something to do with this .........My question is how do I prepare my existing nome folder for Ubuntu installation ?
[07:23] <Guest79554> I think sometimes that VirtualBox stalls my Ubuntu when booting down#
[07:24] <cpt_othello> theadmin, wait do I literally type in "\\.\PhysicalDrive0"?
[07:24] <cpt_othello> er
[07:24] <cpt_othello> PhysicalDrive1
[07:24] <theadmin> cpt_othello: Yes.
[07:24] <cpt_othello> is there a way to check my drive numbers?
[07:24] <theadmin> vbgunz: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/
[07:24] <cpt_othello> theadmin, is there a command to check my drive numbers?
[07:24] <vbgunz> theadmin: sounds good
[07:25] <theadmin> cpt_othello: Muh. Go into the Windows partitioning tool ("Volume Management" in Computer Management in Administrative Tools)
[07:26] <cpt_othello> lols
[07:26] <cpt_othello> looks like it is disk0
[07:26] <cpt_othello> close one
[07:26] <cpt_othello> thanks
[07:30] <Guest79554> There must be a better way to create a small partition with Ubuntu 13.10
[07:31] <Guest79554> I find that windows provides better means to create partitions
[07:32] <somsip> Guest79554: have you tried gparted? It's fairly simple
[07:32] <Guest79554> Dont like gparted not "safe" enough
[07:33] <Guest79554> Must be another application
[07:33] <Guest79554> I dont see many options also with gparted
[07:34] <Guest79554> I always have to unmount which I dont like
[07:34] <somsip> Guest79554: you prefer to repartiion a drive while it's mounted? Er...
[07:34] <Guest79554> Sure you can do it in Windows easily and siccessfully
[07:35] <theadmin> Nope
[07:35] <Guest79554> Creating partitions in Windows is a breeze
[07:35] <theadmin> Guest79554: Most partitioning tools in Windows automatically unmount the drive
[07:35] <theadmin> Well, the partition they work on, anyway
[07:35] <Guest79554> Yes but not here you have to manually do it leaving a noobie a difficult question to ask
[07:35] <Guest79554> Thats why I dont like Gparted
[07:36] <Guest79554> I must first unmount the main drive and the create a partition on it.  If I do that how am I going to continue using the OS?
[07:36] <Guest79554> Wont the system shutdown?
[07:36] <theadmin> Guest79554: You can't unmount the drive the OS is installed on.
[07:37] <somsip> Guest79554: you boot from something else, like a live CD or a GParted boot cd
[07:37] <Guest79554> Yes, so how am I going to create a partition then?
[07:38] <theadmin> Guest79554: You can't unmount the drive the OS is installed on.
[07:38] <theadmin> Guest79554: So, use a livecd.
[07:39] <Guest79554> I have 75 Gbs ofdrive space Unused from 300gb Main Drive.  I would like to create a small partition from the 75Gbs like 40Gbs.  How do I go about this?
[07:39] <Guest79554> THere u go
[07:39] <Guest79554> I have to exit the OS and then load up into Live and then create a partition#
[07:39] <Guest79554> I dont have to do that Windows
[07:40] <theadmin> Guest79554: Your opinions don't matter. That's how you do it in Linux, and that's it.
[07:40] <Guest79554> lol
[07:40] <Guest79554> I'll rememeber that
[07:40] <theadmin> Guest79554: Sadly, yes, Windows partitioning tools... well... they are in some ways easier and better.
[07:40] <theadmin> Eh well.
[07:41] <theadmin> Guest79554: But please refrain from flooding the channel with "Windows X is better", as that's unrelated to support.
[07:41] <Guest79554> I was making a fair OS comparison with regards to a legitimate topic
[07:42] <Guest79554> regarding Partitions
[07:42] <somsip> Guest79554: and the point has been made and accepted. Time to move on...
[07:42] <theadmin> Guest79554: ...well, this is a support channel. It's intended to help you do things, not general chat or OS comparisons.
[07:42] <Guest79554> Your comment is unwarranted
[07:42] <Guest79554> It was not a general chat it was the direction of debate from a legitimate starting point
[07:42] <theadmin> Guest79554: If you need help partitioning, I'd gladly help you do it.
[07:43] <Guest79554> I requested assitance in partitioning my drive using Ubuntu
[07:43] <Nicnm> iv noticed while working on a win par that it didn't really use the whole hdd just where the data was stored... may have been the owner tho
[07:43] <cpt_othello> holy crap i hope i did this right....
[07:43] <Guest79554> you suggested Gparted
[07:43] <Guest79554> I criticised it supporting that criticim with facts from my Windows experiences
[07:43] <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
[07:44] <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] <Guest79554> bye
[07:45] <Guest79554> Still cant parition in Linux
[07:45] <theadmin> Guest79554: Can, just need a livecd.
[07:45] <Nicnm> anyone know how know how to make files unmoveable?
[07:45] <Guest79554> With great difficulty hence my statement about windows being alot easier
[07:46] <Guest79554> Worse than Iraq in here lol
[07:46] <theadmin> Nicnm: Uh. The only feasible way would be to remove the write permission on them.
[07:46] <theadmin> Nicnm: But that would also make them "unchangeable".
[07:46] <Nicnm> yea... im noticing
[07:47] <Guest79554> Were are talking Ubuntu we are talking Computing we are talking relevant topics to relevant subjects and still these Chat Room Nazis are bullying and controlling
[07:47] <somsip> !ot | Guest79554
[07:47] <Guest79554> Incredible
[07:47] <theadmin> Guest79554: The only thing relevant here is support.
[07:47] <Guest79554> its no wonder Linux is falling behind
[07:47] <Guest79554> This is like the worst Chat Room i've ever been in
[07:47] <Guest79554> Like a Prison
[07:48] <Nicnm> only you can leave
[07:48] <theadmin> !ops | Guest79554 please remove kebab
[07:48] <Guest79554> "Sir can I talk about how easier it is to parition in Windows?"
[07:48] <Guest79554> Please please please pretty please
[07:48] <thom_r> NO
[07:48] <Nicnm> they see me trollin, they hattin
[07:48] <Guest79554> Is this America?
[07:49] <Guest79554> I bet it is
[07:49] <Guest79554> You from Ohio?
[07:49] <Nicnm> depends
[07:49] <thom_r> I don't think everyone here is from America
[07:49] <Nicnm> we could be in the UK
[07:49] <Nicnm> or the ussr
[07:49] <Guest79554> "John Spartan you have violated blah blah blah
[07:49] <theadmin> From all over the world, basically.
[07:49] <Nicnm> yep
[07:49] <Flannel>  Hi Guest79554.  Can you please help keep this channel on-topic (which is Ubuntu technical support)?  Please take discussions and general chit-chat to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[07:50] <Guest79554> I said my piece
[07:50] <Guest79554> Thank you Ubun-not able to partition without liveCD-tu
[07:51] <thom_r> I don't understand how hard it is to partition something in Ubuntu. Oh well.
[07:52] <Guest45898> I agree with him tho paritioning is a real pain with Linux
[07:53] <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
[07:54] <theadmin> Well, boot an Ubuntu CD and run GParted from it... It's easy enough.
[07:54] <theadmin> Well, DVD, considering.
[07:55] <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] <Guest45898> That means I have to keep a LiveCD or USB with me at all times
[07:55] <helpme> guys , my databse was working fine , then i tried to importat new data to mysql , after that i could not connect to mysql again , my server is ubuntu , when  i try to connect i get the following error "error:2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock (2)"
[07:55] <somsip> helpme: so, did you get that error log yet?
[07:55] <helpme> it was working fine , what is the problem please?
[07:55] <Nicnm> cool thanks for dealing with that stupidity
[07:56] <helpme> somsip , i went to syslog , i dont see anything related
[07:56] <somsip> helpme: when you restart the mysql service, what happens? What command do you use?
[07:56] <Gallomimia> i've installed kernel 3.12 by advice in this channel, but i'm missing one of the 3 parts of it. now trying to install a graphics driver on top of it is failing... any suggestions?
[07:58] <Gallomimia> hitsujiTMO: maybe we can finish up what i was working on before you left for NYE festivities?
[07:58] <hitsujiTMO> Gallomimia: whats output sudo apt-get -f install
[07:58] <Gallomimia> remove kernel 3.12
[07:58] <Gallomimia> uh, just headers
[07:59] <hitsujiTMO> Gallomimia: can you pastebin the output of: dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-
[07:59] <Gallomimia> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/ only has 2 of the needed 3 .deb's
[08:00] <hitsujiTMO> Gallomimia: you're prob missing http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200_3.12.0-031200.201311031935_all.deb then
[08:00] <Gallomimia> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677156/
[08:00] <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 :/
[08:01] <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?
[08:02] <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' ?
[08:03] <helpme> hob failes to start , i already tried it
[08:03] <helpme> "job falies to start "
[08:04] <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
[08:05] <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?
[08:06] <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] <theadmin> Gallomimia: The repository driver is your best bet then.
[08:06] <hitsujiTMO> Gallomimia: what gpu do you have again?
[08:07] <theadmin> Gallomimia: Eh, fglrx is still the AMD driver from the "corporation".
[08:07] <helpme> i told u , i have ubuntu 12.4 and my sql 5.1 , i went to syslog and i added new path for error log , but i dont see anything in that path
[08:07] <Gallomimia> radeon hd 7790
[08:07] <Gallomimia> some kind of oc edition
[08:07] <theadmin> Those ATI cards are still a pain huh
[08:07] <Gallomimia> theadmin: i'm assuming the repo one is better tuned or setup to go with the distro i'm on
[08:08] <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
[08:09] <Gallomimia> yeah i'm not either
[08:10] <cristian_c> llutz, Hi
[08:11] <cristian_c> llutz, I've got the strace output
[08:12] <hitsujiTMO> Gallomimia: also if you want to try the latest opensource radeon driver you can try: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa PPA
[08:12] <cpt_othello> gah i'm done for tonight. at least nothing fucked up. thanks for the help theadmin
[08:12] <q0> why isn't Screen clear (^L ) not working in ksh ?
[08:12] <cristian_c> hitsujiTMO, hi
[08:13] <hitsujiTMO> cristian_c: hey
[08:13] <theadmin> q0: I'm pretty sure that's not a shortcut in Bash either.
[08:13] <Wiz_KeeD> If I have a dual-boot that worked without issues for 2 weeks.Didn't change anything with drivers (Windows 8 and ubuntu 13.10) and the suddenly in both operating systems it stopped detecting my wireless card then after a few reboots it did but found no networks then after another reboot it could find the networks, that indicates it's hardware problem? Symptoms are present in both os's
[08:13] <theadmin> q0: Use "clear".
[08:13] <q0> theadmin, what is the permanent solution ?
[08:14] <theadmin> q0: "permanent"?
[08:14] <q0> clear only during the shell session
[08:14] <q0> i need to change or set it completely
[08:14] <q0> to ^L
[08:14] <theadmin> Wiz_KeeD: That does seem like a hardware issue.
[08:15] <q0> ok then my question is how do i bind ^L to clear
[08:15] <cristian_c> hitsujiTMO, I don't understand if this is right: export XAUTHORITY=:0
[08:16] <somsip> q0: xmodmap may well be able to do that.
[08:16] <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
[08:17] <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
[08:18] <theadmin> q0: bind -x '"\C-l": clear' # This seems to do the trick.
[08:18] <dfcnvt> In ccsm, what is the character that will comment out within the line? Ex: in Decoration windows: "any & !(class=mplayer)" should suppose-comment this "any # !(class=mplayer)"
[08:18] <cristian_c> hitsujiTMO, Yesterday, I've mounted the serial port on the desktop pc. I've tried the serial mouse. Finally, I don't know how, I made the mouse working
[08:20] <hitsujiTMO> cristian_c: ahh sweet. maybe it just wasnt fully connected the last day
[08:21] <cristian_c> hitsujiTMO, tha last day I tried the serial->usb adapter
[08:21] <cristian_c> yesterday I tried the pci serial port
[08:21] <q0> theadmin, thank you
[08:21] <cristian_c> hitsujiTMO, /dev/ttyS4
[08:21] <hitsujiTMO> cristian_c: ahh i see. so maybe dodgy adapter then :(
[08:21] <q0> somsip, you too
[08:22] <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
[08:23] <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, Finally, I've tried the inputattach command
[08:23] <cristian_c> hitsujiTMO, it appeared in xinput list
[08:23] <hitsujiTMO> cristian_c: cool
[08:24] <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> hitsujiTMO, If I tried the cat command , it returned resoruce busy
[08:24] <cristian_c> *resoruce
[08:24] <cristian_c> but the mouse worked
[08:25] <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
[08:26] <somsip> helpme: we're going round in circles. Enable your error log or paste your /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[08:27] <helpme> i paste my.cnf here ?
[08:27] <somsip> !pastebin | helpme
[08:28] <koivula> theadmin, maybe 2014 is still too early for that
[08:29] <theadmin> koivula: Eh. In general, always use software from the OS repositories, unless it's totally necessary to do otherwise.
[08:30] <Nicnm> so whats the super key?
[08:31] <theadmin> Nicnm: It normally has a Windows logo on it.
[08:31] <Nicnm> oh i like name
[08:31] <theadmin> Nicnm: If you're on a Mac, that is the "cmd" key.
[08:32] <theadmin> ...I think.
[08:32] <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...
[08:33] <theadmin> Up-to-date isn't always the best with some software, drivers inclusive.
[08:35] <cristian_c> hitsujiTMO, a question: the XAUTHORITY export muste be before or after the DISPLAY export?
[08:35] <hitsujiTMO> cristian_c: no particular order
[08:35] <cristian_c> ok
[08:35] <cristian_c> thanks

[08:42] <theadmin> helpme: pastebin the text: pastebinit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[08:42] <theadmin> No point in making images
[08:42] <kiran_> hi
[08:42] <helpme> im using virtualbox , let me see how to copy the text
[08:42] <theadmin> helpme: Use the above command
[08:42] <theadmin> helpme: pastebinit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[08:43] <theadmin> helpme: (also, Devices -> Shared Clipboard)
[08:43] <kiran_> hi..i'm unable to download the kernel source
[08:43] <kiran_> am getting error like this:
[08:43] <kiran_> sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

[08:43] <FloodBot1> kiran_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:43] <somsip> helpme: so this tells you that error logging goes to syslog, but I would recommend uncommenting the general log file to try to get some output that helps you. Then check the log files when you start the service
[08:44] <hitsujiTMO> kirwan linux-source
[08:44] <hitsujiTMO> kiran_: even ^
[08:46] <kiran_> i tried source also
[08:47] <kiran_> same error
[08:47] <geirha> kiran_: don't run it with sudo
[08:47] <kiran_> ok
[08:47] <kiran_> let me try
[08:47] <kiran_> same msg: "E: Unable to find a source package for linux-source-3.8.0-34-generic"
[08:48] <theadmin> kiran_: No need for the version number.
[08:48] <theadmin> kiran_: Or rather, the flavor
[08:48] <theadmin> kiran_: sudo apt-get install linux-source-3.8.0
[08:49] <kiran_> ok...let me try
[08:49] <helpme> soms , i uncomment general log
[08:50] <geirha> kiran_: could you pastebin the output of   apt-cache policy "linux-image-$(uname -r)"   ?
[08:50] <helpme> but when i go to var/log/mysql .. i dont find the files mysql.log
[08:50] <helpme> the folder empty
[08:51] <helpme> sosmip ?
[08:51] <orca_> Hello is there anybody in here? I have a question.
[08:51] <theadmin> orca_: Ask away
[08:51] <somsip> helpme: paste the new my.cnf - just the lines for general_log_file and general_log
[08:51] <kiran_> geirha: linux-image-3.8.0-34-generic:
[08:51] <kiran_>   Installed: 3.8.0-34.49~precise1

[08:52] <orca_> Ok, how do I install Geforce 440 drivers for ubuntu
[08:52] <orca_> I just downloaded it
[08:52] <tozen> helpme: pastebin ls /var/log please
[08:52] <hitsujiTMO> somsip: mysql logs are /var/log/mysql.log or /var/log/mysql/error.log      do neither exist?
[08:52] <hitsujiTMO> helpme even: mysql logs are /var/log/mysql.log or /var/log/mysql/error.log      do neither exist?
[08:53] <orca_> theadmin how do I install drivers
[08:53] <geirha> kiran_: Please read FloodBot's message
[08:53] <hitsujiTMO> helpme: also /var/log/mysql.err
[08:53] <kiran_> yeah am seeing it....
[08:53] <kiran_> first time so...
[08:53] <theadmin> orca_: System Settings -> Hardware Drivers (on 12.10 and earlier) or System Settings -> Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers (on 13.04 and up)
[08:53] <geirha> kiran_: anyway, sounds like you're missing a deb-src line in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:53] <kiran_> you know things will be worse :)
[08:54] <somsip> hitsujiTMO: he's on 5.1 that uses a different approach to logging than I'm used to. He's pasted sectiosn of my.cnf and has just enabled general logging. I'm trying to find out if he's enabled it correctly. Old my.cnf http://imagebin.org/284803
[08:54] <helpme> yes , so i access mysql.err ?
[08:54] <aaronmehar> orca_: did you download the .deb file from nvidia?
[08:54] <orca_> theadmin it's video drivers and I alreadly downloaded it
[08:54] <kiran_> do i need to add that line sources.list manually
[08:55] <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.
[08:56] <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] <geirha> kiran_: grep 'security\.ubuntu\.com.* main ' /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:56] <orca_> theadmin yes
[08:56] <helpme> somsip
[08:56] <kiran_> i used windows installer to install it.
[08:56] <theadmin> orca_: Point your sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com then.
[08:56] <theadmin> orca_: And update ASAP, of course
[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
[08:57] <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 '
[08:58] <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
[08:59] <orca_> I'm afraid so
[08:59] <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] <kngharv> @theadmin : my frustration is that I don't know how to update the sources files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[09:00] <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] <kiran_> ok let me try
[09:00] <kngharv> Beldar: thanks
[09:00] <orca_> Yeah it gives me some junk about being unable to update etc
[09:01] <Beldar> kngharv, You got it. ;)
[09:01] <theadmin> kngharv: I don't really see the issue... sed -iold 's/old-codename/new-codename/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[09:01] <orca_> well thanks anyway
[09:01] <theadmin> kngharv: Or somesuch...
[09:01] <md_nfs> hello every one
[09:02] <hitsujiTMO> helpme: is this on 10.04?
[09:02] <somsip> helpme: what version of ubuntu is the virtualbox machine running?
[09:02] <md_nfs> when we need to like this:  var=`which cp`
[09:03] <helpme> 12.04
[09:03] <helpme> im installing pastebinit
[09:03] <kngharv> theadmin:  you mean i have to manually go to each files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and change the name, ASSUMING all the repository locations are the same except the distro name changes?
[09:03] <theadmin> kngharv: ...Well, yes. That's how third-party repositories are.
[09:03] <hitsujiTMO> helpme: where did you get mysql from? are you using xampp?
[09:03] <theadmin> kngharv: Ubuntu can't keep track of those
[09:04] <theadmin> kngharv: The command I gave will auto-change them all, but of course if locations changed it can't help
[09:04] <Gallomimia> oops. can't test my gpu with cgminer any longer due to the fact that cgminer no longer supports gpu's :(
[09:04] <md_nfs> when we need to use path of the command too with command
[09:04] <helpme> not xampp
[09:04] <oquidave> hello, i've opensuse 12.3 64-bit which is my default OS. Now i want to duo-boot with ubuntu 13.1 which i've just installed along side suse. However, am getting the error --> error file ":/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic" was not found, error: you need to lard the kernel first
[09:05] <geirha> md_nfs: Never do var=`which cp`, it's dangerous and pointless
[09:05] <oquidave> i've checked /boot folder and it can see vmlinux-3.7.10-1.16-default.gz, vmlinux-3.7.10-1.16-desktop.gz and vmlinux-3.7.10-1.1-desktop.gz among others
[09:05] <oquidave> am using grub2-efi boot loader on opensuse 12.3
[09:06] <helpme> this is my.cnf http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677377/
[09:06] <helpme> somsip
[09:06] <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
[09:07] <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.
[09:08] <somsip> helpme: paste 'sudo ls -la /var/lib/mysql | pastebinit -b'
[09:08] <oquidave> hitsujiTMO: ok. i've installed ubuntu 13.1 already. my duo-boot is having issues at boot up with the error error file ":/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic" was not found, error: you need to lard the kernel first
[09:08] <oquidave> when i select ubuntu 13.10 selection
[09:08] <md_nfs> thanks geirha
[09:08] <MarkDavies> Hi.
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <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?
[09:11] <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
[09:12] <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!
[09:13] <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
[09:14] <helpme> to be honest i dont know from where the mysql , cuz i took this virtualbox image from my co-workers
[09:15] <MarkDavies> Does vi have a way to change small letters to capital letters?
[09:15] <ikonia_> MarkDavies: ~
[09:15] <somsip> helpme: as long as we are defintely looking at a 12.04 install as some things you say look more like Debian...
[09:15] <Rory> MarkDavies: vi or vim?
[09:15] <MarkDavies> Rory: vim
[09:15] <somsip> MarkDavies: ~
[09:16] <MarkDavies> thanks, it works
[09:17] <helpme> its ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
[09:17] <kiran_> hello geirha
[09:17] <helpme> lbs_release -a
[09:17] <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.
[09:18] <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
[09:19] <somsip> *awk, not aws
[09:19] <somsip> MarkDavies: no sorry. That might have been totally wrong...
[09:20] <helpme> hitsujiTMO , the command is dpkg --get-selections ?
[09:20] <hitsujiTMO> helpme: yup
[09:21] <kiran_> hi geirha
[09:21] <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'
[09:22] <hitsujiTMO> helpme: can you run: dpkg --get-selection | pastebinit                    and paste the url here
[09:22] <helpme> ok
[09:23] <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/
[09:24] <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
[09:25] <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.
[09:26] <helpme> what i should do ?
[09:27] <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 ?
[09:28] <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)
[09:29] <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
[09:30] <helpme> somsip
[09:30] <helpme> please tell me , how to make space ?
[09:31] <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
[09:32] <llutz> helpme: next get rid of all old kernels except the actual and the one before maybe
[09:32] <paul_zil> Hi I need assistance re-mapping my logitech Gamepad buttons please.
[09:33] <helpme> llutz : i dont know how to do this , im totaly new in linux command line :(
[09:33] <trijntje> paul_zil: re-mapping?
[09:33] <hitsujiTMO> llutz: he only has 1 kernel installed
[09:33] <paul_zil> yeah, I've just purchased a game on steam - mark of the ninja.
[09:33] <helpme> somsip :(
[09:34] <paul_zil> this is compatible with xbox controller only.
[09:34] <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.
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <paul_zil> does what I have written make sense?
[09:36] <ikonia> MarkDavies: -k1 is not the same
[09:37] <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
[09:39] <helpme> 2014 is not happy for me at all :)
[09:39] <helpme> many people told me happy new year , but seems it will not be happy for me :D
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> helpme: happy for the Turtles though :)
[09:41] <MarkDavies> ikonia: so what's the difference between "the beginning of the line" and "the first field"?
[09:41] <helpme> :)))
[09:41] <helpme> how to make space in my ubuntu machien :(
[09:42] <ikonia> MarkDavies: you're wasting your time using a system v book and trying to match it to ubuntu commands
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> helpme: uninstall old kernels
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> helpme: sudo apt-get clean
[09:42] <helpme> i did this command
[09:42] <helpme> nothing changed
[09:43] <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] <helpme> still 99% used
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> helpme: uninstalling old kernels clears lots of space as Ubuntu does not clear old kernels off
[09:44] <hitsujiTMO> [
[09:44] <hitsujiTMO> pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppphelpme: if you ran out of space when importing the database then most likely you'll have to do it again. /
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> helpme: can you please pastebin the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[09:44] <helpme> avaiable only 247 m
[09:44] <helpme> ok
[09:45] <helpme> how will be the command please ?
[09:46] <helpme> lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image | pastebinit
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> helpme: I gave you it....what could you possibly mean?
[09:46] <helpme> ?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> helpme: ohhh, let me hash it up
[09:46] <ikonia> helpme: come on please, people are giving you exact information/commands - please pay attention and try to read
[09:46] <ikonia> helpme: please stop asking "how" "how" "how" when people are giving you detailed information
[09:47] <helpme> sorry
[09:47] <helpme> i appologize
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> lsb_release -a | tee ~/space.txt; uname -a | tee -a ~/space.txt; dpkg -l | grep linux-image | tee -a ~/space.txt; pastebinit ~/space.txt
[09:48] <llutz> ActionParsnip: (lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image )|pastebinit
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> llutz: that too
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> llutz: or backticks etc
[09:49] <llutz> tmpfiles are ugly
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> llutz: it works though
[09:50] <helpme>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677543/
[09:51] <helpme> and please forgive me guys
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> helpme: ok then you only have one kernel, you need one kernel
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> helpme: uninstalling old kernels will help, you may have lots of space used in /var
[09:52] <ikonia> has anyone actually looked at what is mounted where ?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> helpme: you also didnt run the command right
[09:52] <helpme> mmm
[09:53] <helpme> i become afraid to ask :D
[09:53] <helpme> cuz i dont know how to uninstall the old kernal
[09:53] <llutz> ikonia: yes and?
[09:54] <llutz> ikonia: lots of space in /var/www which doesn't really help
[09:54] <ikonia> llutz: I've not seen it, seemed to be a lot of focus on removing old kernels (which could be off /boot or /) so I didn't know if any one had looked at his file systems mounts
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> helpme: you dont have old kernels. you have one. you cannot clear space using this method
[09:54] <ikonia> I'm missing the part where 200mb of kernels is a big saving for a file system out of space
[09:55] <ikonia> unless it's /boot - in which case how does that change his mysql import problems
[09:55] <llutz> ikonia: < helpme>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677463/
[09:55] <ikonia> llutz: thank you
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> helpme: what is the output of: mount | pastebinit
[09:55] <ikonia> ok - so that's a shambles
[09:56] <ikonia> I'd suggest just re-installing with a more sensible file system layout
[09:56] <ikonia> rather than chasing 200mb of kernels
[09:56] <helpme>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677553/
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> helpme: what is the output of:   du -sch /*
[09:56] <ikonia> it's a vbox install so just reinstall with a better thought out file system layout
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: was thinking that, or present a new virtual disk and move data over
[09:58] <llutz> vbox install, just add a new vdi-image and move /var
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> helpme: what is the output of:   du -sch /* | pastebinit
[09:59] <helpme> idid , but it hang
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> helpme: it will take a while
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> helpme: its not hung
[09:59] <helpme> ok

[10:02] <user23234> but i get error that my volume already mounted...
[10:02] <user23234> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677582/
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> helpme: looks prime for clearing space, check how large the logs folder is an so forth
[10:02] <ikonia> oh come on encyption too
[10:03] <ikonia> this is like trying to do brain surgery when you are learning how to wipe your nose
[10:03] <Pessimist> user23234, what's the output of lsblk, df -h ?
[10:03] <user23234> i check
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: people like to make things hard
[10:03] <ikonia> this is just stupid
[10:03] <ikonia> "I don't know how to do basic things, but I'll make the most complex setup I can"
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> helpme: du -sch /var/*    will break the folder used space down for you, will give clues

[10:06] <user23234> i trying to mount from live usb
[10:07] <Pessimist> user23234, I think it is already mapped. Is there a directory /dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-6499a305-2074-457e-9bab-65fe007458fa-uid0 ?
[10:08] <kiwitinker> how do i find the ip address that ubuntu is using to connect to my lan?
[10:09] <user23234> its not a directory ...
[10:09] <helpme> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677612/

[10:10] <user23234> what else i can try todo ?
[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] <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
[10:12] <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 $?
[10:13] <user23234> 0
[10:13] <user23234> echo $? brings 0
[10:13] <cristian_c> llutz, can I paste it?
[10:14] <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

[10:15] <cristian_c> llutz, the strace output
[10:15] <llutz> cristian_c: pardon me, early in new year. what strace....
[10:16] <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
[10:17] <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
[10:18] <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
[10:19] <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

[10:26] <Pessimist> user23234, then try to open/mount it again -- maybe fsck will fix it :) cross your fingers
[10:26] <conn> I've just upgraded my Kernel to 3.12.6

[10:28] <Pessimist> user23234, ok, sorry, it has to be opened and then run fsck on /dev/mapper/...
[10:28] <ikonia> conn: that kernel is not in the stable ubuntu repos
[10:28] <SaberX01> conn, what Ubuntu version you on ? 3.12 is 14.04 I believe.
[10:28] <Pessimist> user23234, but not mounted
[10:28] <sac> ok ActionParsnip, I'll check
[10:28] <conn> I've checked my dmesg and it seems just fine; it may be mounting the main fs which is ext4 but I can't seem to find it
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> conn: what is the output of:   cat /etc/issue
[10:28] <conn> ActionParsnip : checking...
[10:29] <ikonia> conn: you don't know what version you're using ?
[10:29] <user23234> so now i need to open it soemhow ?
[10:30] <user23234> cryptsetup luksopen ?
[10:30] <conn> Nothing; just the main OS name which is : Linux Mint 13 Maya \n \l
[10:30] <ikonia> conn: ok, so it's not ubuntu
[10:30] <ikonia> conn: it's mint - you need to use the mint support resources
[10:30] <ikonia> !mint | conn
[10:31] <conn> My version is based on ubuntu not debian

[10:31] <user23234> damn, not undertand how to do this
[10:31] <user23234> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6677704/
[10:31] <conn> Oh, I thought this was the right place...
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> conn: mint support is separate from Ubuntu's
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> !mint
[10:32] <cfhowlett> conn, not to worry; common confusion
[10:32] <sac> ActionParsnip, same problem after re-fixing the permission
[10:32] <conn> Sorry for the confusion... Take care all
[10:32] <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
[10:33] <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
[10:34] <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?
[10:35] <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
 dont leave me ! :D
[10:36] <sac> ActionParsnip, /bin/bash is in the correct path!
[10:39] <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
[10:40] <cristian_c> llutz, ok, I'll ask in #qt
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> sac: maybe its permissions on the bash file
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> sac: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 959168 Mar 30  2013 /bin/bash
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> sac: what OS is the server on?
[10:42] <sac>  Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.5.0-23-generic i686)
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <sac> cfhowlett, yeah I know its not the latest but I found people working with my same version
[10:46] <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.
[10:47] <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] <llutz> sac: most likely
[10:48] <llutz> !tr | olgac
[10:48] <olgac> sağ ol
[10:48] <sac> ! so how does it work then? should I copy the /bin/bash file to ~/bash?
[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
[10:49] <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
[10:50] <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
[10:51] <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
[10:52] <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?
[10:53] <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
[10:54] <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
[10:55] <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.
[10:56] <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
[10:57] <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
[10:58] <Guest94769> ActionParsnip, Thank you I navigated to the usr/applications and found the games.
[10:59] <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
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Guest94769: yes, they are stored once and loaded to RAM once, very efficient. Shared libs can be used by any and all applications
[11:01] <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
[11:02] <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
[11:03] <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
[11:04] <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
[11:05] <anthill_> ya nice advice
[11:06] <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
[11:07] <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
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <anthill_> SaberX01 : but wubi creates a boot record in windows booting to directly point towards ubuntu installation
[11:10] <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
[11:12] <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 :)
[11:13] <cfhowlett> ActionParsnip, again :)
[11:13] <anthill_> SaberX01 : xubuntu because i used debian xfce before
[11:14] <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/
[11:16] <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 :-)
[11:17] <SaberX01> He's on a low resource box, VM probably not a good idea.
[11:18] <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.
[11:19] <Engimal> Hey
[11:20] <Engimal> Is anyone available to lend a hand with an issue?
[11:20] <iceroot> !ask | Engimal
[11:21] <Engimal> Okay. :P . Well my webcam works with any software I sue (such as Cheese) but when I go to use it in browser, it doesn't work. How can I fix this?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> SaberX01: why not?
[11:24] <fijal> hi
[11:25] <fijal> after upgrading from raring to saucy, my GL does not work
[11:25] <fijal> it says

[11:25] <fijal> in Xorg.0.log
[11:25] <fijal> any clue?
[11:25] <FloodBot1> fijal: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> fijal: are there any bugs reported?
[11:26] <fijal> ActionParsnip: I fail to find anything
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> fijal: then I suggest you report the issue
[11:30] <SaberX01> ActionParsnip, was in another channel, why not what?
[11:31] <rhumbot> hi all, i am trying to watch a live stream, but whenever i switch to full screen its focused on my main display where i am supposed to work ...   is anyone of you familiar with a workaround where i can choose on what screen to maximize a flash video?
[11:33] <SaberX01> ActionParsnip, This may be what he hit: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glamor-egl/+bug/1232658
[11:33] <Rory> rhumbot: What browser are you using?
[11:33] <rhumbot> Firefox
[11:34] <Pessimist> rhumbot, are you using gnome?
[11:34] <Rory> rhumbot: Try this extension, resizes flash to fit the browser window, then you can hit F11 to make the browser window fullscreen https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-game-maximizer/
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> SaberX01: why is it not nice for the long run?
[11:36] <ChrisW> hi all, anyone know when unity-lens-sshsearch will be available for 13.10?
[11:36] <SaberX01> ActionParsnip, Oh., well personal preference I suppose, first go at *Nix using WM probably not the best foot forward.
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> SaberX01: for a low end system its a smart choice as it uses fewer resources
[11:40] <SaberX01> ActionParsnip, Definitely the lightest choice he could make. If he'd like or not don't know.
[11:41] <rhumbot> Pssimist, no im not. Rory thanks for the advice. Unfortunatley it looks like its not a flash -> the live stream at nhl.com
[11:44] <rickyp> hi, can someone help me with ubuntu please? I am a new user and need a little guidance please.
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> rickyp  let's hear it
[11:45] <Pessimist> !ask
[11:45] <SaberX01> ChrisW, unity-scope-sshsearch is in saucy and looks to be headed for trusty, can't find lens-sshsearch for 13.10 either. maybe it's being replaced.
[11:46] <rickyp> I am trying to make a triple boot system. I have so far installed, windows vista and then ubuntu. I am now trying to install xbmc openelec but I am unsure how to do this
[11:46] <ikonia> rickyp: this is a bad idea
[11:46] <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.
[11:47] <rickyp> i originally had windows vita, then installed xbmcbuntu. but as i have and intel processor but an AMD graphics card xbmc would not boot
[11:48] <curiousx> rick try xbmc PPA
[11:49] <curiousx> its add an entry to lightdm so you can boot from it
[11:49] <curiousx> rickyp, *
[11:49] <rickyp> i will have a look thank you
[11:49] <curiousx> np
[11:50] <rickyp> its really difficult to understand how linux works lol

[11:57] <Rev_US> Fairly stupid question about Ubuntu: Is it possible to convert a degraded RAID1 md device down to a bare disk?
[11:57] <rickyp> it seems to have installed xbmc now. how do i check?
[11:58] <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
[11:59] <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?
[12:01] <SaberX01> Rev_US, What you mean by MD down to bare disk ?
[12:02] <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
[12:03] <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.
[12:04] <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
[12:07] <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] <rickyp> i also just rebooted but i dont see an xbmc icon :(
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> rickyp  simply logout to see the menu
[12:08] <rickyp> monkeydust: great idea :)
[12:10] <rickyp> wow this xbmc is very laggy compared to xbmcbuntu. anyway to speed it up?
[12:12] <watermelonjuice> so if I just waltz into here saying I'm a linux kernel developer, how many girls could I expect to take home?
[12:12] <SaberX01> rickyp, Debian rejected the packages, and Ubuntu is PPA/3rd party, you may want to talk with the xbmc guru's, they probably know this package better than anyone.
[12:12] <DRatJr> What is the best alternate method to using Linux OTHER THAN having to install it on my computer?
[12:13] <iceroot> DRatJr: boot it from usb or use a live system
[12:13] <llutz> DRatJr: persistent usb
[12:13] <cfhowlett> DRatJr, virtualbox or live boot
[12:13] <brontosaurusrex> DRatJr, virtualbox (but you still need to install it) or use a live system of some sort
[12:13] <DRatJr> I would like to run it as fully as possible, so is a USB or virtual machine better?
[12:13] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:13] <Guest42955> http://bellard.org/jslinux/
[12:14] <llutz> DRatJr: virtual if you have enough RAm and a reasonable fast cpu
[12:14] <DRatJr> I forgot how to reply to usernames -_-
[12:14] <DRatJr> lol
[12:14] <DRatJr> @llutz
[12:14] <DRatJr> nope thats not it, hrmm
[12:15] <iceroot> DRatJr: tab
[12:15] <DRatJr> I have an Intel i7 3635QM 2.4 GHz processor with 8 GB of RAM
[12:15] <llutz> DRatJr: go with a virtual machine then, usb stinks
[12:15] <DRatJr> Does tht sound sufficient? I have never used the virtual machine before
[12:16] <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] <llutz> UEFI can be switched off
[12:17] <brontosaurusrex> DRatJr, should run well on machine like that
[12:17] <DRatJr> Well here is the problem I've CONSISTENTLY hit:
[12:18] <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.
[12:19] <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.
[12:20] <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] <DRatJr> NP780Z5E-S01UB
[12:20] <DRatJr> How do I reply to people dang it? Lol
[12:20] <DJones> !tab | DRatJr
[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
[12:21] <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] <DJones> DRatJr: Type the first few letters of a nick then press tab, that should work
[12:21] <DRatJr> Okay thanks all
[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.
[12:22] <cfhowlett> !samsung
[12:22] <cfhowlett> slax0r,  the bug was triaged and the fix was expedited ...
[12:22] <cfhowlett> slax0r, I can search for the documentation if you need ...
[12:23] <DRatJr> SaberX01: I haven't even done a virtual machine, where is the software found?
[12:23] <cfhowlett> !virtualbox
[12:23] <SaberX01> DRatJr, there's several available, easy ones, are VirtualBox and VMware .. I prefer Virtualbox.
[12:23] <lisa89> !list
[12:24] <lotuspsychje> !it | lisa89
[12:24] <slax0r> cfhowlett: I don't need it, but it was like 1-2 weeks ago I tried installing 13.10 and it didn't work, so I went back to 12.04
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <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?
[12:26] <iceroot> Pessimist: with your userpassword its possible to open the encrypted directory or the key-store which is holding the key itself
[12:26] <Rar9> hi need some help in setting up Solr 4.6 with tomcat7... currentöy get Can't find (or read) directory to add to classloader: ../../../contrib/extraction/lib (resolved as: /etc/solr4/collection1/../../../contrib/extraction/lib). .... can anyone help me?
[12:26] <SaberX01> DRatJr, I use both, VMware Workstation costs $$ VBox is free. I do all my Ubuntu-QA ISO testing in Virtualbox, it'sup to you.
[12:26] <iceroot> Pessimist: changing the password das not help when that new password it not part of the key store
[12:26] <DRatJr> SaberX01: Also, I see a lot about people wanting to minimize host's loss in performance, but I plan to use Linux and that's it. I won't be switching between them.
[12:26] <Pessimist> iceroot, ok, ty
[12:27] <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
[12:28] <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 ...
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <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
[12:31] <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?
[12:32] <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
[12:33] <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
[12:34] <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
[12:35] <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?
[12:36] <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] <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.
[12:37] <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!
[12:38] <SaberX01> Lubuntu / Xubuntu lightweight .. Ubuntu - Unity, fancy stuff, but needs more resource.
[12:38] <idueppe> Hello, where do I configure GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES to handle this 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.  You may need to list them in GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES in /etc/default/grub.  See http://bugs.debian.org/542165 for details." A link to a doc would be nice :-)
[12:38] <DRatJr> cfhowlett: So then 1/x ubuntu use less intensive ones then, as you were saying? So I should use one of those if I use a VM?
[12:38] <slax0r> DRatJr: you can trade your sanity for lightweight window manager, IceWM :P
[12:38] <SaberX01> DRatJr, You box will handle Unity with ease.
[12:39] <cfhowlett> DRatJr, fuller explanation: xubuntu/lubuntu also come with some different default applications, but overall function is the same ubuntu
[12:39] <cfhowlett> DRatJr, and yes I suggested x or l ubuntu for that very reason
[12:39] <gordonjcp> DRatJr: you need a fairly meaty machine for Unity
[12:39] <DRatJr> cfhowlett: What about a USB? (It's 3.0)
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> DRatJr  http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg
[12:39] <gordonjcp> DRatJr: I find it's not really usable on less than a 1.6GHz Celeron with a 1G of RAM
[12:39] <slax0r> you'll have same problems booting it DRatJr
[12:39] <SaberX01> He has an i7 w/8GB ram, that's a big enough box for sure.
[12:39] <gordonjcp> SaberX01: that ought to do it
[12:40] <SaberX01> Indeed.
[12:40] <cfhowlett> DRatJr, usb environment is very finicky and delectable compared to virtualbox but it's doable.
[12:40] <DRatJr> Yeah I have an i7 @ 2.4 GHz and 8 GB RAM
[12:40] <SaberX01> I run Lubuntu on a single core 1.3Ghz, 512MB laptop .. My Q9770 3.2 8GB .. can run whatever I want.
[12:41] <cfhowlett> DRatJr, nice!  you should find performance to be pretty dern speedy
[12:41] <SaberX01> DRatJr, Your fine wiht Unity 3D .. no worries.
[12:41] <SaberX01> *with
[12:41] <idueppe> No One here who knows how to handle grub2 installation with crypt / luks
[12:42] <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
[12:43] <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
[12:44] <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 :-)
[12:45] <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
[12:46] <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
[12:48] <cfhowlett> MonkeyDust, a year!  shoot, a MONTH and he'll be VBOXiing all his relatives!
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> ftw!
[12:49] <cfhowlett> come april (EOL Windows XP) he'll be handing out Ubuntu USB's in front of businesses!
[12:50] <xdccMule[2441GW]> Ciao belli
[12:50] <xdccMule[2441GW]> hallo
[12:50] <Danny> hello
[12:50] <SaberX01> XP probably the best they ever released
[12:51] <cfhowlett> !it|xdccMule[2441GW],
[12:51] <cfhowlett> SaberX01, come to and end, it has ...
[12:51] <SaberX01> indeed.
[12:52] <xdccMule[2441GW]> !list
[12:52] <SaberX01> Why does the bot always say list is Warez ?
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <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
[12:55] <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.
[12:56] <cfhowlett> MonkeyDust, matter of fact, it should be a channel factoid
[12:57] <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 ;)
[12:58] <SaberX01> Ohh, I agree 100% .. that's one of the main reasons Im on *Nix boxes most of the time.
[12:59] <Pessimist> linux is not unix
[12:59] <Pessimist> it's unix-like
[13:00] <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
[13:01] <SaberX01> I guess I could have said *Nux :-)
[13:06] <n008> trying to connect to a wireless scanner, anyhelp ?
[13:07] <Guest94905> Hello how's it going? I am wondering if it is possible to use Mac software on Ubuntu because they are both unix based operating systems.
[13:07] <DJones> Guest94905: No you can't
[13:07] <cfhowlett> Guest94905, nope
[13:08] <samiralajaad> yeah you cant
[13:08] <marcus> hallo, hallo. do you know how to set multiple mouse pointers at same time, with xinput reattach, i think it works but it logs me out -_
[13:08] <DJones> Guest94905: You may find that some software originally for the Mac has been modified & compiled to run on UBuntu/Linux, but generally its unlikely, certainly with Apple & other commercial software anyway
[13:08] <ubuntu> hi
[13:09] <SaberX01> Hello
[13:09] <cfhowlett> ubuntu, greetings
[13:09] <Guest94905> DJones,  cfhowlett thank you, I was hopeful that it would work. I wanted to come ask here before I tried because I didn't want to mess up my system
[13:10] <DJones> Guest94905: You're probably better looking for a native linux equivalent, there's likely to be something similar that may be suitable
[13:10] <n008> trying to connect to a wireless scanner from Ubuntu, any help?
[13:12] <marcus> hallo, hallo. do you know how to set multiple mouse pointers at same time, with xinput reattach, i think it works but it logs me out -_

[13:17] <loa> what is ddebs.ubuntu.com &
[13:17] <loa> ?
[13:17] <idueppe> hey what is the difference between grub-pc and grub2 package?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> n008: can you ping it's IP address?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> !info grub-pc
[13:20] <CiscoNinja> good mornng everyone, i am trying to completely  remove apach2 with all it;s files and folders as if it was not installed before in my system. but every time i do 'sudo apt-get purge apache2
[13:20] <CiscoNinja>  it is still there
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> idueppe: I dont have a grub2 package here....
[13:20] <SaberX01> loa, ddebs is for debugging I believe.
[13:21] <loa> SaberX01, oh thx
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> CiscoNinja: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> idueppe  it says here, grub-pc is for live sesions
[13:21] <loa> i forgot it)
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> !info grub2
[13:21] <CiscoNinja> ActionParsnip, oh sorry. i am on 3.10
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> idueppe: seems to be a dummy package, probably for convenience
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> CiscoNinja: what is the output of the command I gave please
[13:22] <xwalk> CiscoNinja: That's an incredibly dated version of Ubuntu... =P
[13:22] <idueppe> So if I debootstrap I should use apt-get install grub2
[13:22] <idueppe> ?
[13:22] <riqdiiz> HELLO
[13:22] <CiscoNinja> Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> CiscoNinja: ahh 13.10   not 3.10
[13:22] <CiscoNinja> s//13.10
[13:23] <SaberX01> LOL
[13:23] <CiscoNinja> sorry typo
[13:23] <xwalk> Don't drink and type :>
[13:23] <SaberX01> Just a little difference there .. -.-
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> idueppe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6678452/
[13:23] <idueppe> I'm confused is GRUB 1.99...  GRUB2?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> CiscoNinja: if you run:  dpkg -l | grep -i apac   is anything listed?
[13:24] <idueppe> thx
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> idueppe: yes that is Grub2, Grub2 has been default since Oneiric in 2011
[13:25] <CiscoNinja> yes
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> CiscoNinja: can you pastebin the text please.
[13:25] <k1lled> can i swtich unity/lxde wihtout close my opened programs.. ?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> CiscoNinja: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; dpkg -l | grep -i apac | pastebinit
[13:25] <k1lled> swtich *
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> k1lled: how do you mean unity/lxde
[13:27] <idueppe> how can I see which apt-get packages are currently installed?

[13:28] <Guest81056> hi. i recently removed disk tha i had in laptop and put it in external
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> CiscoNinja: and you want apache gone?
[13:29] <B0r3dw15dom> does any one know how to remove gnome fallback panel?
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> B0r3dw15dom: sudo apt-get --purge remove gnome-panel
[13:29] <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
[13:30] <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..
[13:31] <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.
[13:32] <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.  You may need to list them in GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES in /etc/default/grub.  See http://bugs.debian.org/542165 for details" But I cannot find some docs how to handle it, any idee?

[13:33] <k1lled> i want sometimes to stop everything who burden my laptop.... lxde is faster from gnome, right?
[13:33] <SaberX01> Yes
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> k1lled: its lighter in resources, yes
[13:34] <Guest81056> i could make a switch again with the disk but screws are really weak and i dnt want to torcer this laptop anymore. can i actually boot to it from external usb?
[13:34] <Guest81056> sorry for my english :)
[13:34] <Guest81056> its "torture"
[13:34] <k1lled> okey, now.. can i stop gnome, and start lxde... without stop my active programs
[13:35] <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
[13:36] <SaberX01> k1lled, sorry, it dont work that way.
[13:36] <xwalk> Guest81056: Of course, fill in the <> fields with the actual user, group, and the name of the drive you're working with and you should be set to go.

[13:36] <k1lled> SaberX01:  i get it
[13:37] <SaberX01> k1lled, fastest wat to switch, log-out, then long back in using LXDE

[13:37] <Guest81056> if i boot my laptop from usb disk, and there is grub2 on external usb disk, will it load grub2?
[13:37] <CiscoNinja> ActionParsnip, still, etc/apach2 exist
[13:37] <Guest81056> i think i formated window partition where grub2 was
[13:38] <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.
[13:39] <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.
[13:40] <k1lled> SaberX01:  okey. tnx
[13:41] <CiscoNinja> thank you for trying to help, i gtg
[13:42] <idueppe> What could be the reason, that mdadm --examine --scan works and --detail --scan not? Both executed under chroot? See http://paste.ubuntu.com/6678536/

[13:49] <james-> t didn't work either. Is there any way I can get rid of these? The Unity launcher has everything I need and I prefer a clean desktop
[13:50] <Church> james: maybe not use nautilus to draw desktop at all?
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> denysonique_  there are tools to make the menu un/hide
[13:50] <lotuspsychje> james-: dconf should be able to disable 'volumes visible'
[13:50] <james-> lotuspsychje, let me go check it out one sec
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> denysonique_  try gnome-tweak-tool, unity-tweak-tol
[13:51] <ObrienDave> successfully installed 13.10 32bit to 64GB USB stick. during dist-upgrade, something happened to one of the kernel files. how can i fix a partial kernel update on a usb stick?
[13:51] <denysonique_> MonkeyDust: its not possible in the software itself
[13:51] <denysonique_> you can only delay
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> denysonique_  those tools can handle it
[13:51] <Church> ObrienDave: can you select different/previous kernel at boot?
[13:52] <denysonique_> MonkeyDust: they can't
[13:52] <denysonique_> I have it installed
[13:52] <denysonique_> no such options
[13:53] <SaberX01> denysonique_, Im kinda lost on which menu bars your referring too, the launcher or the older gnome menus at the top ?
[13:54] <idueppe> How should I install the latest linux-image-generic by "apt-get install linux-image-3.8.0-34-generic" or is there a better way?
[13:55] <denysonique_> SaberX01: http://i.imgur.com/emOjKRn.png
[13:55] <SaberX01> idueppe, by using apt unless you kow exactly what your doing.
[13:55] <denysonique_> this menu
[13:55] <Pici> idueppe: the linux-image-generic package should always depend on the latest available version.
[13:56] <JDoe_> JohnDoe
[13:56] <SaberX01> denysonique_, that is not in Unity .. it's the gnome-panel aka gnome-fallback I think it called.
[13:56] <Guest20676> lotuspsychje, Thank you! I opened dconf went to org, nemo, desktop and everything i did worked fine.
[13:57] <idueppe> Pici, well I give it again, but my last experience was that it installs 3.2 version instead of 3.8 or do I have to update apt-get other then with "apt-get update"?
[13:57] <ObrienDave> Church, haven't tried that yet. let me see. brb
[13:57] <SaberX01> denysonique_, This is an example for 12.04, theres other ways to get there too: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed
[13:57] <Pici> idueppe: What release of Ubuntu are you using right now?
[13:58] <idueppe> precise ... I'm trying to debootstrap 12.04 from the desktop cd into my vm
[13:58] <qwerz> just installed gnome-shell 3.4.1 on ubu 12.04 -> when I choose gnome for my user nothing appears
[13:59] <Pici> idueppe: The linux-generic-lts-raring in precise should depend on kernel version 3.8.0.35.35.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack for more info.
[14:00] <Pici> idueppe: or rather 34.34 (35.35 is only in proposed)
[14:00] <SaberX01> That may not bee the debootstrap kernel though.
[14:00] <SaberX01> *be
[14:00] <Guest81056> xwalk, you are a genious
[14:02] <idueppe> Pici: ok ... i will check my script.. I just discover that a new debootstrap package 1.0.56 is out
[14:02] <SaberX01> idueppe, what is the Host OS version your trying to install the bootstrap into ?
[14:04] <SaberX01> idueppe, 1.0.56 is for Trusty 14.04
[14:05] <idueppe> SaberX01: to be honest I'm not sure. I'm trying to be a script file for installing based on the information I found. This is the current version of my script https://gist.github.com/idueppe/8173364.
[14:06] <giamma1295> hello guys i've a problem with amd proprietary driver, who help me?
[14:06] <idueppe> SaberX01, so I'm using the wrong debootsrap package, right? I like to install 12.04 LTS Server?
[14:07] <SaberX01> idueppe, the bootstrap script is fairly straight forward. Is this a local machine your using the script on or a remote server somwhere?
[14:09] <idueppe> SaberX01: Finally I like to install my root server at hetzner. But before that I have to understand what I am doing here. So I start installing it into a VMWare Fusion instance
[14:10] <denysonique_> SaberX01: nah, that is something completely different. I will just hack the code myself.
[14:10] <SaberX01> idueppe, Ok, now we're starting to understand. What OS is the VM install now?
[14:11] <idueppe> os x
[14:11] <SaberX01> denysonique_, Ok. have fun with that one :-)
[14:11] <idueppe> mavericks
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <SaberX01> idueppe, I asked you what the host OS is, you said Maverick .. is that a LiveCD or installed to a VM ?
[14:15] <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.
[14:17] <SaberX01> idueppe, Yes, I know what VM Fusion is. You need a Installed VM first .. then do you boot strapping to the installed VM .
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <SaberX01> Yeah. that too.
[14:20] <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] <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
[14:21] <SaberX01> idueppe, no, you dont boot a VM with a LiveCD .. you boot the VM after you install the VM.
[14:22] <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] <Romance>   ubuntu-desktop*"
[14:22] <Romance> oh sorry
[14:22] <FloodBot1> Romance: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <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"
[14:25] <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.
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <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
[14:30] <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 .. ??
[14:31] <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] <Guest81056> !germany
[14:31] <Rory> Guest81056: Well I called it a cog because that's what it looks like the most, I guess
[14:31] <dimsen> Need some support with a Toshiba DT01ACA200 Drive
[14:31] <Rory> !details | dimsen
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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?
[14:34] <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

[14:35] <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.
[14:36] <dimsen> I allready guessed this also... but ATM there are two other drives in system .. an theyre running very well
[14:37] <SaberX01> idueppe, sri, Landscape, not Lanscape
[14:38] <idueppe> this one https://landscape.canonical.com/?
[14:38] <SaberX01> Yes
[14:39] <SaberX01> idueppe, try it for 30 days, it's a free trial, see if it works better for you.

[14:42] <Pici> RayWizard|2: ctrl-z doesn't kill the app, it places it as a background job. You can bring it back by typing 'fg'
[14:42] <somsip> RayWizard|2: you want to detach it from the console you ran it in? Look at screen or tmux
[14:42] <dimsen> This Toshiba drive is new...days ago i allready had the same drive with the same error .. so i went to the local shop and they've replaced it.

[14:56] <TJ-> dimsen: The errors you are reporting are often/usually caused by physical connection issues or failing drives but as you've changed things around and it works fine through USB I'd take a stab at guessing the PC motherboard may have an issue running the port at 6Gbps. What make/model is the motherboard?

[14:57] <streulma> is it faster to run ubuntu on an old Macbook ?
[14:57] <dimsen> mainboard is => ASUS P5G41T-M
[14:57] <TJ-> dimsen: In the past I've had to reprogram drives to run at 3Gbps because they had intermittent problems running at 6Gbps on some SATA controllers
[14:59] <dimsen> TJ-: are there any how tos .. to switch that drive from 6 GBits to 3 GBits ??
[15:02] <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? Does that mean you had it running with an instance of Windows installed on another drive, or you actually installed and ran Windows from this drive on this motherboard?
[15:03] <TJ-> dimsen: According the ASUS web-site knowledge base this is a known problem. See http://support.asus.com/FAQ/detail.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=P5G41T-M%20LX&p=1&s=22&os=&hashedid=TOOAPqOMZFVMI9Ji&no=A9AE8BF4-52DC-771B-ADF3-6F203E22108E
[15:03] <marcus> anyone can help me with multiple x sessions multiple monitors nvidia?
[15:03] <dimsen> Ive installed and ran MS Windows 7 on this drive with that same Board ..
[15:04] <idueppe> SaberX01: Well landscape is very interesting. But maybe at the current state with one server a little oversized.
[15:04] <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?
[15:05] <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 .. .. ..
[15:06] <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 ..
[15:07] <idueppe> After I run "debootstrap --arch amd64 --components=main,restricted,universe,multiverse --verbose precise /ubuntu http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" "chroot /ubuntu /bin/bash -c "apt-get -y install linux-image-generic" loads version 3.2.0-57 and not the current 3.8.0_34 version, why?
[15:07] <TJ-> dimsen: If it is down to the kernel driver then I'd doubt you'd see a difference
[15:07] <andrewjs18> hey folks, can anyone help out with this issue?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2196980
[15:07] <dimsen> i fully agree with you ..
[15:08] <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] <TJ-> dimsen: let me see if I can find out how I handled the speed limitation issue ... it was a long time ago now
[15:08] <dimsen> may another linux OS ..
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> andrewjs18: try:  sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc
[15:08] <andrewjs18> ActionParsnip, let me try it out - thanks!
[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?
[15:09] <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.
[15:10] <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?
[15:11] <SaberX01> cdimage.ubuntu.com
[15:11] <SaberX01> idueppe, I'd recommend getting the 12.04-Server ISO

[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] <andrewjs18> Setting up libdevmapper-event1.02.1 (2:1.02.48-4ubuntu7.3) ...
[15:11] <andrewjs18> Setting up grub-pc (1.99-21ubuntu3.14) ...
[15:11] <andrewjs18> for hours...until I killed the process
[15:11] <andrewjs18> my grub is screwed up; it doesn't automatically boot after 10 seconds any longer
[15:12] <andy_10> ada yang tau cara instal aplikasi windows ke ubuntu ??
[15:12] <marcus> http://pastebin.com/pHB6SDZc <- generated xorg config (dont know how to change)
[15:13] <TJ-> dimsen: Can you pastebin the output of "lspci -nn" ?
[15:13] <idueppe> SaberX01: I habe ubuntu-12.04.03-server-amd64.iso
[15:13] <andy_10> mksdunya marcus ??
[15:13] <SaberX01> idueppe, what your essentially trying to do is replace the installer withe a bash script, not easy. You probably need help form ubuntu-devel as that topic is far beyond normal support.
[15:13] <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?
[15:13] <marcus> ?
[15:14] <pepito> Hi evrybody ! Hope you're fine :) . I have a problem, when i start metasploit I have a Database problem : it's not connected to the database ... Some help please. :)
[15:15] <dimsen> TJ: sure .. ill paste it in 2 minutes ,,
[15:15] <TJ-> marcus: What generated that xorg.conf? It is a mess!
[15:15] <marcus> X :2 -config (not sure)
[15:16] <TJ-> marcus: You want to use the proprietary Nvidia drivers, or the Nouveau open-source ?
[15:16] <marcus> im using apt-get nvidia-current
[15:16] <SaberX01> pepito, just to ask the obvious ,, what DB does it use, and are you sure it's installed / configured correctly ?
[15:17] <TJ-> marcus: Which version of Ubuntu?
[15:17] <marcus> 13.10
[15:17] <TJ-> marcus: OK .. Ubuntu or Kubuntu or Xubuntu?
[15:17] <marcus> ubuntu -_
[15:17] <idueppe> SaberX01: Ok... where can I get this support?
[15:17] <pepito> SaberX01 : "  Failed to connect to the database: could not connect to server: Connection refused

[15:17] <WeThePeople> hi, how do i edit volume settings so the volume will go higher?
[15:18] <WeThePeople> beyond max
[15:18] <WeThePeople> its not loud enough
[15:18] <WeThePeople> :)
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <dimsen> @ TJ pastebin => http://pastebin.com/Sk1cNK19
[15:20] <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
[15:21] <marcus> how to login on terminal when restart? o_o
[15:22] <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)
[15:23] <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] <TJ-> michael_87: How much time do you spend looking at the splash screen?
[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?
[15:24] <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.
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <compdoc> I know its hard to wait, but I must insist that you do
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> Guest22998  is this useful http://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/32474-a-windows-users-guide-to-linux.html
[15:27] <SaberX01> pepito, I dont see this package in the repos are you building it from source ?
[15:27] <DRatJr> How much video memory should be allocated to Ubuntu in VirtualBox? I have 20GB of space for it, with 4 GB of RAM.
[15:27] <SaberX01> Max
[15:27] <liamkeily> gb.archive.ubuntu.com down?
[15:27] <SaberX01> I think max is like what 120MB or something?
[15:28] <somsip> liamkeily: this is a useful site http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[15:28] <DRatJr> It's at 12 MB right now.
[15:28] <SaberX01> Max it out for best performance.
[15:28] <DRatJr> I am just not sure what I should set it to. I'll just be surfing the net and coding.
[15:29] <DRatJr> Max is 128 MB
[15:29] <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] <DJones> DRatJr: For video memory in a VM, I normally use 128/256Mb the same as a oldish graphics card
[15:29] <marcus> ok, so im rdy: http://pastebin.com/irpNSbkb
[15:29] <guardianx> that's what she said
[15:29] <Guest22998> MonkeyDust, does Ubuntu only use .deb packages? That would explain why I can't figure out rpm's
[15:30] <pepito> SaberX01, I just intall it from Rapi7 .. and after launch it.
[15:30] <MonkeyDust> Guest22998  true
[15:30] <SaberX01> pepito, The build instructions say you need postgresql .. have you installed that DB ?
[15:31] <SaberX01> pepito, what version of Ubuntu you on?
[15:31] <pepito> 12.
[15:31] <BluesKaj> 12 what?
[15:31] <marcus> TJ plox help
[15:31] <pepito> SaberX01, I'll chech postgresql and I use ubuntu 12.04
[15:32] <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.
[15:33] <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.
[15:34] <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...
[15:35] <somsip> Guest22998: consider coLinux, cygwin, and something else I forget, but this is OT for here
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: is it usb or internal or firewire or esata and so forth?
[15:35] <Guest22998> somsip,  OT?
[15:35] <shreezbot> ActionParsnip, Internal SATA.
[15:35] <somsip> !ot | Guest22998
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: you can use the manufacturer's tool on the ultimate boot cd, and/or fsck the partition
[15:36] <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] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: you will need to use ubuntu liveCD to fsck from
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> Guest22998  in short: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:36] <somsip> Guest22998: you asked what OT meant. I triggered the bot to explain it
[15:37] <SaberX01> Guest22998, Have a looky here: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/08/use-silverlight-in-firefox-chrome-in-ubuntu-via-pipelight-plugin/
[15:37] <shreezbot> ActionParsnip, I've tried to fsck the partition, but it says that it has a bad superblock.
[15:37] <somsip> Guest22998: though this might help (not much though) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2029336
[15:38] <Guest22998> SaberX01, Thank you, and somsip ill check it out
[15:38] <shreezbot> ActionParsnip, It isn't my bootdrive that is bad, do I still need to use the LiveCD?
[15:38] <pepito> SaberX01, I checked, I installed postgresql, so I don't understand where the problem is ... ?
[15:40] <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.
[15:46] <dimsen> : TJ- pastebin => http://pastebin.com/Sk1cNK19
[15:50] <TJ-> dimsen: OK, that uses the ata_piix driver
[15:50] <Guest22998> SaberX01, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! IT WORKED!!
[15:51] <SaberX01> Guest22998, Welcome ..
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: as long as you can unmount it then its fine
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: you can specify a different superblock
[15:55] <TJ-> dimsen: Using libata's "libata.force=..." kernel command-line parameter it is possible to set the link seed. The information is in the Linux kernel's "Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt" file
[15:56] <TJ-> dimsen: There's an AskUbuntu article that details what you need to do at http://askubuntu.com/questions/145965/how-do-i-target-a-specific-driver-for-libata-kernel-parameter-modding
[15:56] <TJ-> dimsen: I have to leave now (huskies to run!)
[16:00] <shreezbot> ActionParsnip, I tried specifying a different superblock and it still says it is corrupt...  :(
[16:03] <dimsen> No Problem TJ .. may we keep talking later ..
[16:04] <dimsen> Thank you so much for your support TJ
[16:07] <shreezbot> ActionParsnip, When attempting to recover the backup superblock, should I choose the first one, or one of the other ones???
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: there are lots of superblocks
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: I beleieve it is every 8042 blocks or so
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: there are guides online
[16:17] <shreezbot> ActionParsnip, Yea, I'm following one of those now.  It just wasn't clear on which one to select
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: they are all the sam as far as I know, if one is bad, use a different one. Very resilient file system :)
[16:18] <shreezbot> ActionParsnip, I'm getting a new error that says the "Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read"...
[16:19] <killerbart10> can someone help me install ubuntu from sd card, IM me
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> shreezbot: I dont know what that means, sorry
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: its the same as CD, use unetbootin to put the ISO on the SD card
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: remember to MD5 test the ISO you download
[16:20] <killerbart10> anyone?
[16:20] <Rory> killerbart10: What problem are you having?
[16:20] <Rory> !usb | killerbart10
[16:21] <killerbart10> im using linux to install ubuntu

[16:21] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: use unetbootin
[16:21] <apb1963> so I seem to be losing my mind...  is this not correct?  ln -s <real folder> <link folder>
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> apb1963: ln -s source dest
[16:22] <vincenzo> ciao
[16:22] <apb1963> ActionParsnip: with source being the existing folder and dest being the link, yes?
[16:22] <killerbart10> im having problems making the sd card bootable
[16:22] <killerbart10>  
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> apb1963: yes, the source is the real, the dest is the ink you want to make
[16:23] <killerbart10>

[16:25] <molgrum> when i click on magnet links, it asks for an application to open it with. what should i choose? there are no suggestions

[16:25] <ActionParsnip> molgrum: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk
[16:25] <molgrum> ActionParsnip: thanks i'll try that
[16:25] <gvo> ActionParsnip: I think that was Italian
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: you can use dd to put the ISO on the SD card, or use unetbootin
[16:25] <apb1963> ActionParsnip: that's what I thought....so why when I "cd <link>", the real folder is inside the link folder?  In other words, instead of there being actual files... I get another level of folder.

[16:26] <ActionParsnip> apb1963: yes, the folder will abstract, so if you make a symlink'd folder in ~/Desktop you will get ~/Desktop/foldername

[16:27] <killerbart10> help
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> gvo: used google translate, it said 'aiuto su vuze' means 'help on vuze' in spanish
[16:27] <llutz> apb1963: as you see, if "link" already exists, it creates a new link inside
[16:27] <slax0r> bobptz: rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> gvo: mind you, many latin-based languages are similar :)
[16:28] <gvo> ActionParsnip: They are very close.  per favore is Italian however.
[16:28] <bobptz> slax0r and where do I place this command?  in the vhost file?
[16:28] <slax0r> bobptz: in server directive
[16:28] <apb1963> ActionParsnip: That seems to be non-traditional behavior
[16:28] <apb1963> llutz: The link does not already exist
[16:29] <killerbart10> can i download unetbootin with .deb?
[16:29] <MonkeyDust> !find unetbootin
[16:29] <bobptz> slax0r, I am sorry, can you tell me which file this is and where it is located?
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> apb1963: thats very standard
[16:30] <apb1963> I bet it's because I'm not using an absolute path
[16:30] <slax0r> bobptz: erm, /etc/nginx/sites-available/yoursitefile, I think ubuntu has those files there
[16:30] <killerbart10> ?
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> gvo: indeed, por favore is the Italian :)
[16:31] <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] <MonkeyDust> killerbart10  it works, we see you, now you can ask your question
[16:32] <bobptz> slax0r thank you.  please let me check the files and see if I can d o this
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> apb1963: note the example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link
[16:32] <killerbart10> can i download unetbootin to a .deb file?
[16:33] <roman71> killerbart10: try this link: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=all&keywords=unetbootin
[16:33] <slax0r> that was already answered -.-
[16:33] <apb1963> ActionParsnip: You're right.  This makes no sense.  I have <dir.version.1> and <dir.version.2>  living in /var/www/html   I want to to have /var/www/html/link point to <dir.version.2>.  When I cd to /var/www/html/link it puts me in <dir.version.2> and inside I do ls and there's another <dir.version.2>
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> killerbart10  sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[16:35] <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] <apb1963> slax0r: exactly
[16:35] <bobptz> slax0r this is the content of the file:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6679370/
[16:35] <slax0r> can you pastebin ls -l /var/www/html?
[16:35] <apb1963> a minute
[16:36] <slax0r> bobptz: should work too, add the rewrite after listen *:80;
[16:36] <bobptz> slax0r   after which line do I put it?
[16:36] <blz> Hello, I've installed a fresh ubuntu installation with a LVM and I'd like to extend the existing / partition with an new hard drive -- I'm having a lot of trouble making sense of the LVM docs.  Could somebody please help walk me through this?
[16:36] <blz> here's the output of my pvdisplay:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6679372/
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: you can use 'dd' (carefully) to put the ISO on to an SD card
[16:36] <slax0r> bobptz: listen *:80;
[16:37] <blz> and the drive I'd like to add is /dev/sdb1 (which is already formatted as 8e / LVM)
[16:37] <killerbart10> im using kde4 on eeepc701
[16:37] <llutz> ActionParsnip: ls -ld /var/www/html/link
[16:37] <llutz> apb1963: ^^ sry ActionParsnip
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: thats a desktop. KDE4 isnt a distro
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: is it Ubuntu?
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: or Kubuntu etc, or Mandriva or Suse .....?
[16:38] <killerbart10> ?
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: in a terminal run, cat /etc/issue     what is output?
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> killerbart10  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: snips!
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip  was faster :)
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: that's what she said
[16:38] <killerbart10> kubuntu
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: then run:   sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[16:39] <apb1963> screenshot: http://snag.gy/wPRAY.jpg
[16:40] <slax0r> wth is ll?
[16:40] <slax0r> alias for ls-l
[16:40] <bobptz> slax0r, it did not work.  Maybe I need to restart nginx?  Or maybe add it AFTER this line: server_name surf-anonymous.info www.surf-anonymous.info;
[16:40] <slax0r> ls -l?
[16:40] <apb1963> yes
[16:40] <slax0r> oh
[16:40] <slax0r> bobptz: restart is needed yes
[16:41] <apb1963> ls -la actually
[16:41] <killerbart10> output debian GNU/Linux 4.0 /n /l            / is meant to be backslash
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: assuming that is supported you can install unetbootin and use it. support for debian is in #debian
[16:41] <killerbart10> ?
[16:41] <slax0r> apb1963: and if you run: cd /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin-4.1.3-all-language && ls
[16:41] <slax0r> do you get the same file listing?
[16:42] <killerbart10> ok
[16:42] <apb1963> well if I do that I feel stupid
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> killerbart10  you're in the wrong channel, type /join #debian
[16:42] <slax0r> apb1963: why?
[16:42] <apb1963> I'm up way too early... I only got 4 hours last night
[16:43] <slax0r> apb1963: I have a feeling that your phpMyAdmin-longname dir holds another dir with the same name
[16:43] <apb1963> yup
[16:43] <slax0r> -.-
[16:43] <slax0r> are you kidding me? :D
[16:43] <apb1963> noipe
[16:43] <apb1963> nope
[16:43] <blz> How can I extend a logical volume to use all the space on a physical drive?
[16:44] <apb1963> how that happened is yet another story
[16:44] <slax0r> quickfix for your headache: cd /var/www/html/phpmyadmin && mv phpMyAdmin-4.1.3-all-languages/* .
[16:44] <blz> or more exactly, all the space in the partition formatted for LVM use belonging to the logical volume
[16:44] <apb1963> yeah
[16:44] <apb1963> ty :)
[16:44] <blz> basically I'd like to "use all the space"
[16:44] <apb1963> at least ln isn't crazy
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> blz: use ubuntu liveCD and run gparted
[16:44] <blz> ActionParsnip, LVMs can be managed via gparted?
[16:44] <slax0r> adan0s: usualy it's not :P
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> apb1963: or ditch phpmyadmin and manage the server using SSH like aman :)
[16:45] <slax0r> errr... apb1963
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> blz: no idea, not used LVM
[16:45] <apb1963> ActionParsnip: haha....  I'm a mouse
[16:45] <blz> ActionParsnip, this specifically pertains to an LVM, though
[16:45] <blz> ActionParsnip, not that your input isn't appreciated =)
[16:45] <slax0r> apb1963: then install xfce, you'll love it :P
[16:45] <apb1963> ActionParsnip: Actually I used to do just that... until someone introduced me to phpmyadmin and I never looked back
[16:45] <apb1963> slax0r: whys that?
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> blz: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/extendlv.html
[16:46] <slax0r> apb1963: xfce's logo is a mouse :P
[16:46] <apb1963> haha
[16:46] <slax0r> anyhoo, I'm out
[16:46] <slax0r> cheers
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> apb1963: using ssh means your skills are transferrable, not all servers and environments have phpmyadmin
[16:46] <roman71> slax0r: try MATE - desktop, its fine fallback to Gnome2 :)
[16:46] <apb1963> ActionParsnip: They do when I put it there.
[16:46] <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
[16:47] <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] <blz> ActionParsnip, yes, that's why I'm here ^^
[16:47] <gneale`> exit
[16:47] <killerbart10>  
[16:48] <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
[16:49] <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 ...
[16:50] <apb1963> hahaha  so I'm not the only one that thinks the activities are annoying?
[16:50] <rakesh__> can anybody tell me how to partition  drive after installing ubuntu.was trying g parted but it shows locked drive
[16:50] <roman71> ActionParsnip: Yeah, more rich than all Windows OS :)
[16:50] <neitengeuker> i am looking for a girl with some ubuntu knowledge for special hours behind the screen
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> roman71: very, which is both good and bad
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> neitengeuker: that is offtopic here
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> !girls | neitengeuker
[16:53] <rakesh__> can any1 help me with g parted
[16:54] <dougl> rakesh__, what kind of help do you need?
[16:55] <Guest41384> i find the drive locked(key sign)
[16:56] <blz> ActionParsnip, re LVM stuff:  I came across this and it's a very clear guide.  Just in case you're the least bit interested. http://www.tcpdump.com/kb/os/linux/lvm-resizing-guide/all-pages.html
[16:56] <blz> ActionParsnip, thanks for your help =)
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> blz: just be sure your backups are up to date and you can do as you please
[16:56] <blz> ActionParsnip, haha it's already done.  No fear when there's no data to be backed up ^^
[16:57] <Guest41384> its that i cant unmount frive(it shows locked)
[16:58] <Guest41384> hi <dougl> r u there
[16:58] <bobptz> slax0r, the vps is rebooted, but the website does not respond, it is dead
[16:59] <bobptz> slax0r  the site is www.surf-anonymous.info
[16:59] <killerbart10> ?
[17:00] <Guest41384> first can any1 tell me hw to change nickname
[17:00] <bobptz> slax0r, maybe I should have put the directive after the server_name surf-anonymous.info www.surf-anonymous.info;   so that server_name  is defined?
[17:00] <Pici> Guest41384: /nick somethingelse
[17:00] <starhunter> thanx pici
[17:01] <starhunter> nw  tell me hw do i partition my disk using g parted .it shows locked drive.(key sign)
[17:01] <killerbart10> can someone help me install ubuntu using dd and linux terminal
[17:01] <Rory> starhunter: Is this the drive that Ubuntu is installed on?
[17:01] <Rory> killerbart10: You can create an installation USb using dd
[17:01] <starhunter> yeah rory
[17:01] <Rory> !usb | killerbart10
[17:02] <Rory> starhunter: You can't do things to active partitions; you need to use a LiveCD
[17:02] <killerbart10> ?
[17:02] <Rory> killerbart10: ?
[17:02] <aaronmehar> Guest41384: /nick <yournick>
[17:02] <starhunter> that means i need a bootable usb ?
[17:02] <Beldar> killerbart10, be specific.
[17:02] <killerbart10> im using an sd card
[17:02] <bobptz> slax0r should I move the directive lower?
[17:03] <dipak> starhunter: possibly the drive is mounted try to unmount it
[17:03] <killerbart10>  
[17:03] <starhunter> dipak cant unmount it
[17:03] <killerbart10> ?
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <Rory> starhunter: What are you trying to do, overall?
[17:04] <killerbart10> im trying to install ubuntu on a sd card, using dd in he linux terminal
[17:04] <Rory> killerbart10: OK I wasn't actually asking you, but why are you so set on using dd?
[17:04] <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> killerbart10: and why isn't it working, what error are you getting?
[17:05] <Rory> starhunter: You want to grow or shrink your Ubuntu partition?
[17:05] <killerbart10> i dont have ubuntu, thats what i trying to install
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: dd is a very simple way to put the data on to the SD card
[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] <dipak> sudo umount -f /dev/sda2
[17:06] <Rory> !danger
[17:06] <idueppe> SaberX01: I don't get it. If I boot from the liveCD the kernel has the 3.8.0.29 version... so why does debootstrap install 3.2?
[17:06] <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] <Rory> starhunter: It's a non-destructive operation, but best to back up anythinng important just to be safe
[17:07] <starhunter> rory: will the content be safe
[17:07] <killerbart10> i cant install unetbootin
[17:07] <dipak> Rory: yes that's what I am saying
[17:07] <bobptz> slax0r, I had to completely remove the command, otherwise the site did not work:    rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
[17:07] <Rory> starhunter: It's a non-destructive operation, but best to back up anythinng important just to be safe
[17:08] <killerbart10> ?
[17:08] <Rory> killerbart10: What distro are you currently on?
[17:08] <starhunter> rory:also tell me if i can install windows after ubuntu.
[17:08] <Rory> starhunter: You can, but you'll have to install the Ubuntu bootloader again
[17:08] <Rory> !grub | starhunter first link here
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: instead of redundant '?' nonesense. Try typing a sentance
[17:09] <dipak> killerbart10: why?
[17:09] <killerbart10>  
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: typing a single question mark on a line and hitting ENTER does nothing at all
[17:09] <starhunter> well let me first partition then wud come back to you
[17:09] <starhunter> thanx a lot though
[17:09] <Rory> !pm > killerbart10
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: have you installed unetbootin in the OS you are running now?
[17:10] <killerbart10> the chat doesnt auto come throug, i have to type somthing
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: fine, have you installed unetbootin in the OS you are running now
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> ?
[17:11] <Macrotus> Hi!
[17:11] <Rory> Hello Macrotus
[17:11] <bobptz> can somebody help me redirect everything to the https version of a site, I use nginx
[17:11] <Rory> Yes bobptz the people in #nginx can
[17:11] <Macrotus> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu on a partition on my Sony Vaio Pro. How do I get into the boot menu? It just boots and doesn't get into grub
[17:11] <Rory> Macrotus: How far does it get in the boot process, does it hang? At what point?
[17:11] <oris>  hello. I have issue with logitech usb camera, my pc recognizes it but I have a black screen. any ideas?
[17:12] <killerbart10>  
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> Macrotus: hold shift at boot
[17:12] <bobptz> Rory thanks, I did not know this channel
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> oris: what apps have you tested it in?
[17:12] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> Has anyone else experienced sound out of only the Right Side with a headset? When I hookup an external usb sound card both sides play audio with the same headset.
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> oris: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue     ?
[17:12] <Macrotus> ActionParsnip it boots straight to Windows even if I hold shift
[17:13] <Macrotus> Rory: It doesn't hang, when I press the button it just loads Windows
[17:13] <Rory> ajdjawdoiawdioj: Does the issue occur with a different headset in the same interface as the one where the problem occurs?
[17:13] <Rory> ajdjawdoiawdioj: Can you go into sound settings and check the balance is centred
[17:13] <gumbotronix>  /msg nickserve identify bl4hbl4h
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> Macrotus: did you install Ubuntu to a separate physical hdd
[17:13] <duhamel> Hi all, I am running ubuntu 13.10 on a 47" hdtv and want to set it up for a 10' interface. i have changed the font size using gstettings text-scaling factor but i want to change all dpi to make top panel and everything bigger.
[17:13] <gumbotronix>  /msg nickserv identify bl4hbl4h
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> ajdjawdoiawdioj: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
[17:13] <dipak> Macrotus: then you need to reinstall grub on the MBR
[17:13] <duhamel> how would i do this?
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> gumbotronix: time for a new password
[17:13] <killerbart10>  
[17:14] <Macrotus> ActionParsnip no, it has only one SSD. I created a partition in Windows for it, formatted as ext4 and installed Ubuntu on that
[17:14] <Rory> !grub | Macrotus
[17:14] <killerbart10> !DANGER
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> Macrotus: i'd boot to the liveCD and reinstate grub to the MBR then
[17:15] <Rory> killerbart10: What was that in aid of?
[17:15] <duhamel> Macrotus: have you tried grub customizer? it's in the ppa
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> Macrotus: omgubuntu has a guide called 'sticking it to grub' very handy
[17:15] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> Rory: any headset has sound in just the right ear
[17:15] <oris> ActionParsnip, skype and cheese doesnt work
[17:15] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> Rory: no it's balanced
[17:15] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> Actionparsnip: checking
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> ajdjawdoiawdioj: run the command I gave, what is the URL generated
[17:16] <dipak> Macrotus: Have you partitioned the ubuntu partition manually in the ubuntu installer?
[17:16] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=631989a47738e898a503c4fcc9dc2ab2f7bf7aae
[17:16] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> it happens on ubuntu & debian I tried both
[17:16] <Macrotus> dipak: I created the partition using Windows because I wasn't sure which one was the right one and Ubuntu didn't recognize Windows so...
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> oris: ajdjawdoiawdioj you are using debian
[17:16] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> I'm using both
[17:16] <duhamel> Macrotus: also boot-repair from a live distro has helped me with my dual botts and it's simple.
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> ajdjawdoiawdioj: debian is not ubuntu and is not supported hee
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> ajdjawdoiawdioj: debian support is in #debian
[17:17] <Rory> ajdjawdoiawdioj: However, if it happens on *both*, it's probably a broken interface, consider replacing it if it's under warranty
[17:17] <duhamel> Hi all, I am running ubuntu 13.10 on a 47" hdtv and want to set it up for a 10' interface. i have changed the font size using gstettings text-scaling factor but i want to change all dpi to make top panel and close/min/max buttons bigger.
[17:17] <Macrotus> Yea I try to recover grub with Ubuntu usb stick
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> ajdjawdoiawdioj: if you are using both, why did you not boot to Ubuntu and THEN run the script?
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> ajdjawdoiawdioj: hence, I don't beliebe you
[17:17] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> because they're the same fucking os
[17:17] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> i dont care
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> ajdjawdoiawdioj: its not supported here
[17:18] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> riiiight
[17:18] <duhamel> Macrotus: did you use boot-repair tool?
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> ajdjawdoiawdioj: similarly, ubuntu is not supported in #debian
[17:18] <killerbart10> can someone help me make an sd card bootable for ubuntu
[17:18] <ajdjawdoiawdioj> ubuntu is just a debian fork whatever rofl
[17:18] <Rory> duhamel: If you install MyUnity you can change the font DPI, amongst other things.
[17:18] <Macrotus> duhamel I haven't tried anything yet
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: I have asked you 3 times now, last time
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: did you install ubetbootin on the OS you are running now?
[17:18] <dipak> yes ubuntu installer can recognize windows you dont need to partion for ubuntu in windows just leave a unpartioned disk space for ubuntu the installer will give the option to install ubuntu alongside windows.
[17:19] <killerbart10>  
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: check your PM
[17:19] <Macrotus> duhamel I'll try Boot-Repair, I've used it in the past with successful results
[17:19] <killerbart10> i cant install unetbootin
[17:19] <dipak> Macrotus: yes ubuntu installer can recognize windows you dont need to partion for ubuntu in windows just leave a unpartioned disk space for ubuntu the installer will give the option to install ubuntu alongside windows.
[17:20] <Macrotus> dipak: the installer had only the options for completely wiping the disk or "other" which was to manually create partitions
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> killerbart10: finally!
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> Macrotus: or loose windows once and for good and install ubuntu clean single :p
[17:20] <duhamel> Macrotus: get a live usb ubuntu boot from that, in terminal type:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update, then install: sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
[17:21] <Macrotus> lotuspsychje: well yea, not sure if I'll need Windows..
[17:21] <duhamel> Macrotus: usually the automatic repair will fix it.
[17:21] <Macrotus> duhamel I'm already doing that
[17:21] <lotuspsychje> Macrotus: we can help you with many packages here to replace it mate
[17:21] <Rory> killerbart10: There are other tools to use. What distro are you currently on?
[17:21] <dipak> Macrotus: Which version of ubuntu are you using is it Kubuntu?
[17:21] <MarkDavies> Sometimes I have the following problem: I can't connect to the internet despite the fact that the network is available (or at least the system claims so). For example, I enter an address in a browser and it is resolved infinitely. Similar things with ICQ and all the other services. Some suggestions what  I can do when such a situation occurs?
[17:22] <Macrotus> Äshsh, this doesn't have the correct keyboard layout set up
[17:22] <Macrotus> How do I change that? Can't remember
[17:23] <duhamel> Rory: yeah. i have already changed the font dpi through terminal as i stated. what i want to do is change the dpi system wide.
[17:23] <lotuspsychje> MarkDavies: you connect icq tru empathy?
[17:24] <lotuspsychje> !details | MarkDavies
[17:24] <new0> hi everyone, i am on ubuntu 12.04 and i have problem with moving the mouse between 2 screens. do u know?
[17:25] <Macrotus> new0 have you checked that you have oriented the screens correctly in the settings? Try to move your mouse to the opposite side and see if your screens are the wrong way
[17:25] <Rory> duhamel: You can't really do that because your monitor has a physical number of pixels
[17:25] <shreezbot> I'm trying to do a check to see if my drive is bad, but I don't have Disk Utility.  Isn't that supposed to be installed by default?
[17:25] <Rory> duhamel: You could use a lower resolution if you want to make everything bigger
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> new0: tried moving the mouse off of all 4 sides?
[17:25] <lotuspsychje> shreezbot: ubuntu version?
[17:25] <duhamel> Rory: did you read my post?
[17:26] <shreezbot> lotuspsychje, 12.10
[17:26] <apb1963> ok... so what dumb thing am I doing now?  "[error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/phpmyadmin"  It actually lives under /var/www/html/phpmyadmin so for some reason it's chopping off part of the path.
[17:26] <MarkDavies> lotuspsychje: I use Quassel, but the problem clearly doesn't lie with Ubuntu
[17:26] <rakesh_> jst used g parted but drive not visible
[17:26] <duhamel> Rory: I am running ubuntu 13.10 on a 47" hdtv and want to set it up for a 10' interface. i have changed the font size using gstettings text-scaling factor but i want to change all dpi to make top panel and close/min/max buttons bigger.
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> shreezbot: i think it should come by default, try testdisk maybe?
[17:26] <ikonia> MarkDavies: when you fail to connect to the messanger service, can you connect to the internet in general
[17:26] <MarkDavies> lotuspsychje: I run Ubuntu 12.04
[17:26] <new0> Macrotus, ActionParsnip my problem is: when i am trying to move the mouse (cursor) from 1 screen to 2 screen it's take delay time until it moves, unless i am i am moving my mouse very fast from 1 to 2
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | shreezbot
[17:27] <duhamel> my cursor is right. most windows are right it's just the top bar with clock and stuff in it.
[17:27] <MarkDavies> ikonia: no, as I said, I have problems with the situations that the whole internet is blocked - even though the network is claimed to be available
[17:27] <Macrotus> duhamel when I started Boot Repair it says EFI detected, see options
[17:27] <Macrotus> What?
[17:27] <OerHeks> MarkDavies, tried to restart your modem/router?
[17:27] <ikonia> MarkDavies: what happens when you try to open a browser when you have this problem
[17:27] <lotuspsychje> MarkDavies: angry router or isp?
[17:28] <duhamel> Macrotus is it windows 8 you're trying to dualboot?
[17:28] <Macrotus> Yea
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> MarkDavies: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ok?
[17:28] <MarkDavies> ikonia: let's say that I enter "www.google.pl" in Mozilla. The circle whirls, and whirls,... and whirls
[17:28] <MarkDavies> the same case with everything else
[17:29] <ikonia> MarkDavies: ok, so that sounds like your dns is not responding
[17:29] <duhamel> Macrotus it's tricky but i have the same on my laptop. what does it say under options. i did this nearly a year ago
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> MarkDavies: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ok?
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> MarkDavies: if you can it is a DNS issue
[17:29] <MarkDavies> Right now, I can ping the address given above
[17:29] <duhamel> macrotus did you manually install ubuntu or did you let it install alongside windows automatically?
[17:30] <MarkDavies> I don't know if that's the case when the Internet fails
[17:30] <Macrotus> duhamel I manually installed it on a partition I created in Windows
[17:30] <MarkDavies> how can I fix this problem?
[17:30] <Macrotus> duhamel Should I check Use the standard EFI file?
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> MarkDavies: try pinging 8.8.8.8
[17:30] <ikonia> MarkDavies: depends if it's your dns server not responding, of if it's your connection to the dns server
[17:30] <MarkDavies> ActionParsnip: when the network doesn't work?
[17:30] <duhamel> Macrotus. yeah.
[17:31] <MarkDavies> ikonia: how can I check it?
[17:31] <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>  
[17:32] <MarkDavies> thank you, the next time I will do it.
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> MarkDavies: yes, you are using a name 'google.pl' or whatever
[17:33] <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
[17:34] <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
[17:35] <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
[17:36] <dougl> has anyone had any success connecting iphone 5 to 13.10 with any functionality?
[17:36] <Macrotus> duhamel The only reason I have Windows on my desktop pc is that I can't play Battlefield on Linux :D
[17:36] <ikonia> dougl: it's not a compatible/supported technology
[17:36] <duhamel> Macrotus: I use it for Diablo3. i completely understand.
[17:37] <dougl> ikonia, but it will be in the future?
[17:37] <apb1963> weird...  I think my client crashed
[17:37] <ikonia> dougl: very doubtful
[17:37] <Macrotus> duhamel: It's good that Valve is pushing in the right direction with Steam OS
[17:37] <dougl> ikonia, thanks
[17:37] <QuirksMode> what do you guys think about firefox os ?
[17:38] <ikonia> QuirksMode: it's offtopic for this channel
[17:38] <rakesh_> rory  r u there:cant see drives after partitioning.not visible on left side of home folder
[17:38] <Macrotus> duhamel Hope I didn't mess anything up with this... =D Fortunately all my data is in Dropbox
[17:39] <esporta> actually what you guys thinkin about steamOS?
[17:39] <rajrajraj> i just have installed another version of ubuntu i.e. edubuntu but unable to configure my micromax modem in it. i have been configuring it in ubuntu 12.10 and it worked. but doesnt work in edubuntu
[17:39] <ikonia> esporta: that's also offtopic for this channel
[17:39] <esporta> ok sorry
[17:39] <duhamel> Macrotus: if you open gparted what is your partition layout? do you have a partition with mount point marked as /boot/efi before windows?
[17:40] <Macrotus> duhamel just a sec, I tried rebooting after using the tool
[17:40] <apb1963> ok... so what dumb thing am I doing now?  "[error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/phpmyadmin"  It actually lives under /var/www/html/phpmyadmin so for some reason it's chopping off part of the path.
[17:41] <Macrotus> duhamel: Yea, now it says "Your VAIO failed to start Windows"
[17:41] <ikonia> apb1963: you've configured it wrong
[17:41] <apb1963> my documentroot appears correct... can't think of what else to look at
[17:41] <descra> Hi, the ubuntu 12.04 LTS iso image is a LiveCd too or just an instalation image??
[17:41] <ikonia> apb1963: what is your document root
[17:41] <Macrotus> duhamel: here is a file created by the tool, here you can also see my partitions http://paste.ubuntu.com/6679687/
[17:41] <ikonia> descra: livecd
[17:41] <apb1963> ikonia: /var/www/html
[17:42] <descra> ikonia: thanks
[17:42] <ikonia> apb1963: and what is the url you are putting in the browser
[17:42] <apb1963> domain/phpmyadmin
[17:42] <ikonia> apb1963: how did you install phpmyadmin
[17:43] <xangua> descra: it's a live image and since 12.04 no longer fits on a cd, so you would need a dvd or usb stick
[17:43] <apb1963> ikonia: I copied it
[17:43] <ikonia> apb1963: from where ? and how ?
[17:43] <apb1963> ikonia: unzip and copy
[17:43] <ikonia> apb1963: from where ? and how ?
[17:43] <rajrajraj> does any one kow how to configure modem in edubuntu
[17:43] <killerbart10>  
[17:44] <apb1963> ikonia: from http://www.phpmyadmin.net
[17:44] <apb1963> ikonia: I should note that phpmyadmin is a link
[17:44] <ikonia> what do you mean a link ?
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <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] <duhamel> give me a few minutes. just going to do some reading.
[17:46] <Macrotus> duhamel great
[17:46] <ikonia> apb1963: it's not just that simple depending on where the link points to
[17:47] <repozitor> i have ADSL/modem router, and i connect to internet using PPPoE connection inside of OSX, also all things works fine.
[17:47] <repozitor> but i can't connect to internet using PPPoE in ubuntu
[17:47] <repozitor> what is wrong with me?
[17:47] <llutz> apb1963: whats wrong with the recommended way to install it from repos? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin
[17:48] <luyen> kn
[17:48] <repozitor> any hope?
[17:49] <apb1963> ikonia: [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/phpMyAdmin-4.1.3-all-languages
[17:49] <repozitor> OSX is the best OS
[17:49] <repozitor> ubuntu should try to be better
[17:49] <apb1963> llutz: Because they yell at you in #phpmyadmin when you don't install from source
[17:50] <ikonia> apb1963: it probably can't see that as it's outside the doucment root
[17:50] <duhamel> Macrotus: http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm check this out. i know it has some reading but it might help  you. there is a section on dualbooting
[17:50] <apb1963> ikonia: but it's not
[17:50] <apb1963> ikonia: that's what I'm saying.... the real dir lives in /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin-4.1.3-all-languages
[17:51] <apb1963> which is INSIDE
[17:51] <apb1963> it's chopping off part of the path
[17:51] <apb1963> which implies the documentroot is wrong...
[17:51] <apb1963> but it's not
[17:51] <BluesKaj> repozitor, then what are you doing here?
[17:52] <duhamel> Macrotus: could it be as simple as: sudo grub-install /dev/sda?
[17:52] <apb1963> DocumentRoot /var/www/html  copied straight from the config file.
[17:52] <esporta> Guys I need help at installing ubuntu to my windows 8 pc
[17:52] <Macrotus> duhamel I'll try with Boot Repair first just the normal quick repair and then check that
[17:52] <repozitor> BluesKaj, did you ever work with OSX?
[17:53] <koyetsu> looking for ideas, looking to setup a linux/ubuntu/whatever server for network services. though i'm not sure what is out there, or how useful they are. web admin of the tools would be a plus but not required. also, sinse this is #ubuntu which flavor of ubuntu would everyone recomend i use? current or 12.04 LTS?
[17:53] <repozitor> this OS is better than ubuntu!
[17:53] <iceroot> repozitor: osx is off topic here. stop it
[17:53] <repozitor> iceroot, i ask a question about ubuntu/PPPoE
[17:53] <repozitor> is this topic right?
[17:53] <duhamel> Macrotus: yeah. im pretty sure that is all it took for my machine
[17:54] <Macrotus> duhamel yea it still gives the same error I try what you said
[17:54] <iceroot> repozitor: you should know what is offtopic and ontopic
[17:54] <BluesKaj> yes I have repozitor, it's ok , nothing special in my experience, despite all hype about it being so "cool"
[17:54] <lotuspsychje> esporta: dualboot or single boot?
[17:54] <apb1963> ikonia: I copied the config files from a working system... my old disk
[17:54] <Macrotus> duhamel : need to first change my keyboard layout because I can't type -
[17:54] <Nicnm> repozitor: try ssh
[17:55] <repozitor> my ssh service works fine
[17:55] <repozitor> on both OSX and ubuntu
[17:56] <duhamel> Macrotus: that should just be under >system settings>keyboard
[17:56] <Nicnm> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[17:56] <Macrotus> duhamel: Yea trying to get there but this thing seems to search results from the net before locally so it takes a long time lol
[17:56] <duhamel> no mouse?
[17:57] <Macrotus> duhamel managed to change the layout
[17:57] <duhamel> sweet
[17:58] <Macrotus> duhamel: What's /dev/sda? it says "Path /boot/grub is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting"
[17:58] <lathe> guys i had just installed ubuntu with DVD and want to install softwares
[17:59] <lathe> i yhink i need to configure sources.list , can anybody help?
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> lathe  what goes wrong when you try?
[17:59] <lathe> unable to locate package xubuntu-desktop
[18:00] <lathe> MonkeyDust :
[18:01] <new0> would someone know how can i fix the problem?: on ubuntu 12.04 i have 2 screens and when i want to move the mouse from 1 to 2 it has a delay, unless i am moving my mouse fast. how can i do it smooth?
[18:02] <new0> so when i move i mouse from 1 to 2 it won't stuck with 2s delay before it's move to screen 2
[18:02] <lathe> new0 : maybe graphic problem
[18:02] <new0> lathe, maybe, how would i install drives?
[18:02] <new0> lathe, *drivers
[18:02] <duhamel> Macrotus: did you try re-running the boot-repair recommended repair?
[18:02] <lathe> new0 : do u have respective hardware to support them
[18:03] <Macrotus> duhamel Yes, it says the same in the top of the log
[18:03] <new0> lathe, sony vaio f12
[18:03] <Macrotus> duhamel http://paste.ubuntu.com/6679765/
[18:03] <lathe> i mean RAM and graphic card?
[18:03] <new0> lathe, dunno the command to print my model
[18:04] <new0> lathe, i don't think my PC is the slow one
[18:04] <new0> lathe, RAN 6gb Graphic Card dont' recall
[18:04] <Pici> new0: It sounds like you have some sort of sticky-edge feature enabled.  I think theres an option in your monitor preferences to switch it off.
[18:05] <lathe> new0 : which ubuntu version?
[18:05] <Macrotus> duhamel here someone tells this http://askubuntu.com/questions/287206/ubuntu-13-04-wont-boot-after-grub
[18:05] <new0> Pici, perhaps. it's sound like it, lathe ubuntu 12.04 i think. if u give me the command i can print it
[18:05] <Pici> new0: You might want to take a look at this before persuing any more involved things (like replacing drivers): http://askubuntu.com/questions/109338/how-do-i-disable-mouse-magnet-on-middle-edge-with-multi-monitors
[18:06] <new0> :) yes yes yes :) Pici you are the one lol
[18:06] <lathe> new0 : please check what Pici is saying
[18:06] <new0> lathe, yes. tnx. it's helped me :)
[18:07] <jaust> I just can not get bumblebee to work on ubuntu 12.04 with my nvidia gt520m
[18:07] <jaust> totally new to linux
[18:07] <new0> lathe, tnx for trying. Pici tnx for the right Tip
[18:07] <lathe> new0  : alas ! i used desktop pc from beginning , still to get a laptop for me
[18:07] <duhamel> Macrotus: try it out. it's kind of what i was looking at.
[18:08] <Macrotus> duhamel what's in sda1 and sda?
[18:08] <new0> lathe, ? would u repeat?
[18:08] <Macrotus> duhamel: So I don't mess the Windows installation
[18:08] <duhamel> sda is the entire harddrive. sda1 is the first partition on that harddrive
[18:08] <lathe> i dont use laptop
[18:08] <Macrotus> duhamel ah ok
[18:09] <big_> I am unable to connect to my remote desktop form ubuntu getting unable to connect to vnc server
[18:09] <new0> lathe, what do u mean by ": alas ! from beginning," and "...?
[18:10] <duhamel> Macrotus sad1 is a windows partition on  your machine! dont touch it.
[18:10] <Macrotus> duhamel hmm, didn't work anyway..
[18:10] <MarkDavies> these troubles with the Internet are more likely to be caused by my Ubuntu client configuration or by Ubuntu server?
[18:11] <lathe> new0 : alas is figure of speech. "beginning" meant as soon i started using a computer in my life
[18:11] <MarkDavies> s/Ubuntu/DNS
[18:11] <ikonia> MarkDavies: did you do the tests you where told to do
[18:11] <lathe> new0 : i have no idea about laptops, thats it !  :)
[18:11] <new0> lathe, ho. ok
[18:11] <Macrotus> duhamel heres a picture of the screen after executing that command http://sharepoint.peltoset.fi/1388686278799-2014-01-02-20.09.50.jpg
[18:12] <Macrotus> duhamel dinner time, be right back
[18:12] <MarkDavies> ikonia: yes and I put the results here
[18:12] <MarkDavies> ikonia: I did it with the Internet working, though.
[18:12] <ikonia> MarkDavies: then it's a pointless test
[18:12] <lathe> guys i have done "sudo apt-get update" for first time , its taking too long to do that
[18:12] <ikonia> MarkDavies: you where told to do it when it wasn't work
[18:12] <ikonia> working
[18:13] <MarkDavies> ikonia: ok
[18:13] <duhamel> Macrotus: in your machine sda1 is the /boot/efi and there is an ubuntu file in there. so if we can figure out how to get grub or windows boot on the mbr you will be cool to dualboot.
[18:13] <r00t-err0r> Is this drivers supported on http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64 Ubuntu Saucy ?
[18:14] <r00t-err0r> 13.10
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <duhamel> Macrotus: if not you might have to use your windows repair media to reinstall the mbr then wipe and reinstall grub.
[18:15] <ikonia> r00t-err0r: yes, there are propitary drivers in the repo
[18:15] <r00t-err0r> ok, then i will try
[18:15] <r00t-err0r> ok, i go now to install 13.10 :D
[18:16] <hitsujiTMO> r00t-err0r: for most the opensource drivers would be better. what do you need the proprietary drivers for?
[18:16] <new0> ok, my next issue. when i boot up the Num-Lock is disable. how could i enable it on boot? (a link perhaps?)
[18:18] <duhamel> Macrotus: i have to go but i hope you can figure it out. if you have windows. install or recovery media you might have to restart.
[18:20] <Anna> .
[18:20] <cigrits> what is wrong with my syntax for this command. i want to print a list of the current directorys files with the date they were modified with single quotes around the name and single quotes around the date sperated by a space. this is my command     find -maxdepth 1 -printf '\'%p\' \'%t\' '
[18:20] <apb1963> ikonia: it was a permissions problem...  /var/www/html files were owned by root instead of the proper owner.  Thanks for the effort!
[18:21] <r00t-err0r> its not suppoerted, when i try to install ubuntu i got little black square
[18:21] <r00t-err0r> *squares
[18:22] <ikonia> apb1963 that shouldn't change the path though
[18:22] <r00t-err0r> when i lspci i see my VGA drive recognized
[18:23] <llutz> cigrits: find -maxdepth 1 -printf " '%p' '%t'\n "
[18:23] <apb1963> ikonia: I agree.  And yet, changing the owner & group resolved the issue.
[18:24] <ghs> I want format my Windows 7 and install the Ubuntu with dualboot ? How to ?
[18:24] <apb1963> ikonia: I know what's happening.... since it couldn't access the right dir, it used the default which is /var/www.  Inside the default, the dir didn't exist... hence, the shortening.
[18:25] <ikonia> apb1963: that shouldn't happen
[18:25] <hitsujiTMO> !dualboot | ghs
[18:25] <ikonia> apb1963: apache shouldn't change the path due to permissions
[18:25] <kiwi_> hi ... i bought a new laptop (lenovo) and installed 12.04. since then, I always have to shutdown twice. after the first shutdown the box will reboot after a few seconds. only after the second shutdown it will remain quiet. any idea?
[18:25] <DRatJr> When using Linux on VirtualBox, will I always experience SOME lag, or is there a way for it to run smoothly? I have an i7 (2.4 GHz) processor.
[18:25] <SonikkuAmerica> Lag, how?
[18:25] <new0> how can i solve this issue. when i boot up the Num-Lock is disable. how could i enable it on boot? (a link perhaps?)
[18:26] <DRatJr> Like cursor lags when moving around
[18:26] <big_>  am unable to connect to my remote desktop form ubuntu getting unable to connect to vnc server
[18:26] <apb1963> ikonia: No, it makes sense.  It couldn't access the proper path.  So it went to default site, which is at /var/www and then tried to access the dir/file requested.... and errored on that.
[18:26] <apb1963> ikonia: I suspect because I'm using wildcard hosts.
[18:28] <ikonia> apb1963: that should make zero difference
[18:28] <ikonia> apb1963: if apache is changing your path - you have a big problem
[18:28] <rajrajraj> can anyone explain me this error "  FATAL: Error inserting usbserial (/lib/modules/3.2.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): Invalid argument"
[18:29] <apb1963> ikonia: checkout wildcard hosts
[18:29] <ikonia> apb1963: I'm aware of them, I use them myself
[18:30] <apb1963> ikonia: change ownership on a dir... see if you get the same behavior I was getting.
[18:30] <smoores> I'm setting up likewise-open to join a windows domain. I needed to specify the windows dns server for it to work, but the windows domain name is the same as our website and mail server, etc and that causes the resolver to use the ip of the active directory dns server for a.example.tld, b.example.tld, etc. Anyone know how to fix that?
[18:30] <ikonia> apb1963: if the permissions are not correct you would get a permission deined
[18:30] <ikonia> apb1963: not an "ignore and change the path" error
[18:31] <cigrits> llutz that works when i type it into the terminal by itsself but not when i add it to my script. i want to take the output of find and put it into a variable so that i can use it for a list of files with dates using dialog command. here is part of my code     filelist=$(ssh $sshuser@$host find /some/directory/ -maxdepth 1 -printf "'%p' '%t' ")
[18:31] <big_> how to start vino server
[18:32] <PwrSurge> Hi, I installed the LTS Enablement stack on precise to bring in the Raring 3.8.x kernel as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[18:32] <PwrSurge> everything works great but I now need to find out how to install backports
[18:33] <PwrSurge> as synaptic is still showing the precise backports which are based on the 3.2.x kernel so those won't work
[18:37] <hitsujiTMO> PwrSurge: the backports are all the same. what exactly are you looking to backport?
[18:37] <hitsujiTMO> PwrSurge: or, should i say, the backports are kernel independant
[18:38] <PwrSurge> hmm
[18:38] <catalase_> can anyone assist me with port forwarding on ubuntu
[18:38] <PwrSurge> let me try again
[18:38] <catalase_> how do i turn firewall completely off in ubuntu
[18:38] <PwrSurge> but I'm sure when I tried to add with synaptic, it also wanted to add the old 3.2 kernel image as a dependency
[18:38] <hitsujiTMO> catalase_: what firewall are you using?
[18:39] <PwrSurge> this is for linux-backports-modules-net
[18:39] <catalase_> hitsujiTMO, i don't know i am linux noob
[18:39] <hitsujiTMO> PwrSurge: thats for backporting features in later kernels to the 3.2 kernel. what exactly are you looking to backport?
[18:40] <catalase_> i installed zpanel, but i cannot get FTP to work from external IP
[18:40] <hitsujiTMO> catalase_: did you install a firewall?
[18:40] <catalase_> it will only work from internal IP
[18:40] <catalase_> hitsujiTMO, not that i am aware of
[18:40] <catalase_> unless there is something built into ubuntu, like windows firewall has it's own firewall
[18:40] <hitsujiTMO> catalase_: theres no firewall running by default
[18:41] <DarkClasko> so i came for a bit of help getting ubuntu to run off of a flash drive
[18:41] <llutz> catalase_: "sudo ufw stop && sudo lsof -i :21"
[18:41] <DarkClasko> i did exactly what it said to do
[18:41] <PwrSurge> hitsujiTMO, : I want to add the latest Ethernet and wireless drivers  for my laptop
[18:41] <catalase_> llutz, invalid syntax
[18:41] <DarkClasko> but my computer is getting a "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!"
[18:42] <catalase_> i think it is ufw disable
[18:42] <hitsujiTMO> PwrSurge: are they covered in the kernel or are they installed as extra firmaware?
[18:42] <llutz> catalase_: "sudo stop ufw && sudo lsof -i :21"
[18:42] <llutz> catalase_: "sudo lsof -i :21"   is the more important part, does any ftpd listen at all?
[18:42] <catalase_> The data connection could not be established: ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server
[18:43] <catalase_> not sure
[18:43] <catalase_> i stopped the firewall and added 21
[18:43] <catalase_> but still get the same error
[18:43] <llutz> catalase_: the command tells you
[18:43] <llutz> catalase_: "sudo lsof -i :21"   is the more important part, does any ftpd listen at all?
[18:43] <catalase_> what is ftpd?
[18:43] <llutz> catalase_: does that command give any output?
[18:44] <catalase_> COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
[18:44] <catalase_> proftpd 1259 root    0u  IPv6  11257      0t0  TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)
[18:44] <catalase_> works from internal ip llutz
[18:44] <catalase_> but not external ip
[18:44] <opalepatrick_> using unity 13.04 - how do I get accents with UK keyboard?
[18:44] <opalepatrick_> other than character map
[18:45] <llutz> catalase_: are you behind a router?
[18:45] <catalase_> http://codepad.org/8YRrED7G
[18:45] <catalase_> llutz, yes
[18:45] <catalase_> but i have forwarded that port
[18:45] <PwrSurge> Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
[18:46] <llutz> catalase_: ftp needs more than 1 port
[18:46] <PwrSurge> currently using the r8169 driver but ethernet keeps disconnecting from time to time
[18:46] <catalase_> llutz, for passive mode it needs a range correct?
[18:46] <catalase_> how do i specify that range
[18:47] <llutz> catalase_: depends on your router
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <DarkClasko> I'm getting an error when booting from a flashdrive "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!"
[18:48] <DarkClasko> What do i do to fix/continue booting?
[18:49] <glitsj16> james-: you need to escape the space, like /home/documents/Linux\ notes.odt
[18:50] <cigrits> catalase_ if you have "home" service from your isp, your isp is probably blocking port 21
[18:50] <catalase_> cigrits, negative--i've used FTP via port 21 externally prior to today
[18:51] <catalase_> Response:	227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,5,188,202).
[18:51] <catalase_> Status:	Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead.
[18:51] <catalase_> Command:	MLSD
[18:51] <catalase_> Error:	The data connection could not be established: ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server
[18:51] <FloodBot1> catalase_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:51] <llutz> catalase_: somewhere in your ftpd-config you specified a portrange for passive-mode, that range you need to forward in your routers config.
[18:52] <llutz> catalase_: here is an example how its done in openwrt http://amichalec.net/2012/01/openwrt-ssh-ftp-port-redirect/
[18:52] <rajrajraj> does anyone know how to connect micromax mmx352g modem in edubuntu 12.04 i am trying "http://imacify.com/2012/10/how-to-configure-micromax-3g-modem-on-ubuntu-12-10/" but getting an error "Error inserting usbserial (/lib/modules/3.2.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): Invalid argument"
[18:52] <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
[18:53] <catalase_> and save it
[18:53] <catalase_> i know the config is located here /etc/zpanel/configs/proftpd/proftpd-mysql.conf
[18:53] <opalepatrick_> thanks tamatar
[18:53] <DarkClasko> I'm getting an error when booting from a flashdrive "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!"  how do i continue booting to ubuntu?
[18:54] <llutz> catalase_: you need to setup your router... that's not an ubuntu-issue (or does your router run *buntu?)
[18:54] <tamatar> opalepatrick_, you're welcome. did it work?
[18:55] <james-> glitsj16, http://pastebin.com/FcJENGfH
[18:56] <Pici> 70
[18:56] <catalase_> llutz, but the ftpd file does not specify a passive port range
[18:56] <catalase_> i have forwarded ports 21, and 20
[18:57] <glitsj16> james-: i see you escaping but you took out the spaces, which defeats the purpose, try adding the spaces back in after the \"s
[18:58] <catalase_> llutz, SSH works fine from exteral IP forwarded port 22
[18:58] <catalase_> but just not FTP for some odd reason
[18:58] <DarkClasko> I'm getting an error when booting from a flashdrive "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!"  how do i continue booting to ubuntu?
[18:58] <james-> glitsj16,  k 1 sec
[18:58] <glitsj16> james-: and follow tamatar's advice to open it in the default app
[18:59] <PwrSurge> hitsujiTMO, : ok, fixed the Ethernet issue by compiling the r8101 driver by hand
[18:59] <xangua> james-: glitsj16 how about using your actual home directory /home/youruser
[18:59] <PwrSurge> now I need to install the latest linux-wireless in order to fix my wireless
[18:59] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[19:00] <glitsj16> xangua: good catch thanks, i also suggest james- to not use spaces in filenames but that's just me
[19:01] <catalase_> llutz, it cannot be router issue
[19:01] <TIBS01> !netsplit
[19:01] <catalase_> i just DMZ hosted the box here, but the issue persists llutz
[19:01] <TIBS01> lol
[19:01] <TIBS01> @ netsplit
[19:01] <OerHeks> catalase_, you said it works locally, not from the outside, so it is a router issue
[19:02] <catalase_> but i put DMZ host--
[19:02] <zaza> hello to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
[19:02] <gneale`> Happy New Year Zaza!
[19:02] <catalase_> how can it be router issue if the server is fully open?
[19:03] <zaza> Asking for  cache data failed
[19:04] <catalase_> my thinking is that Status:	Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead.
[19:04] <catalase_>  is because the server is not configured properly
[19:06] <rigo88> cannot send to channel: #ubuntu. why?
[19:06] <rigo88> ok. :) works now.
 cannot send to channel: #ubuntu. why?
[19:06] <StephenS> good to ask that in #ubuntu
[19:06] <zaza> I am logged in from tty1 (CLI) I have the following massage displayed endlessly : Asking for  cache data failed  //  assuming drive cache:write through   Could anyone help me please
[19:06] <enen92> is there any way of installing a software package without removing libs?
[19:06] <mst1228> hey i'm trying to update a package with apt-get, it seems like it worked but when i check the version number it's still the older version
[19:06] <mst1228> just wondering if i need to refresh something or do anything after apt-get
[19:07] <Bsims> zaza: I'm assuming your hd died
[19:07] <enen92> i seem to have a problem with qt4 :i386...can't install skype and other programs (like clementine or ninja-ide) keeping all of them installed
[19:07] <xangua> !latest | mst1228
[19:07] <zaza> no it is working --- very good
[19:07] <rigo88> wondering why is there a room dd-wrt if noone on earth answers there :)
[19:07] <xangua> enen92: are you using a 64bit OS ?
[19:07] <enen92> sure
[19:07] <DarkClasko> I'm getting an error when booting from a flashdrive "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!"  how do i continue booting to ubuntu?
[19:08] <xangua> enen92: did you follow the instructions of how to instal skype from the ubuntu wiki?
[19:08] <tamatar> DarkClasko, how did you create the live USB disk?
[19:08] <enen92> yes, I'm actually using the canonical partners repo
[19:08] <enen92> not installing through .deb
[19:09] <DarkClasko> tamatar i used pendrive linix
[19:10] <james-> glitsj16, http://pastebin.com/Xj97eVkE
[19:10] <zaza> it is a laptop with one HD , SDA  .... and the system I guess looks for other drives [sdb]  .... there is no sdb or sdc
[19:10] <xangua> enen92: so you enabled multiarch too?
[19:10] <TJ-> mst1228: To discover which versions of a package are installed/available, you can do "apt-cache policy <package-name>"
[19:10] <enen92> I think so
[19:10] <enen92> how do you do that?
[19:10] <tamatar> DarkClasko, which version of Ubuntu? I've only used UNetBootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and it has worked great for all versions until 13.10
[19:10] <TJ-> zaza: You have a USB storage device attached?
[19:10] <zaza> no
[19:10] <glitsj16> james-: http://pastebin.com/JYACB9Zb, i made some small remarks, nothing you need to do, just pointers, having a look at your latest paste now
[19:11] <xangua> Users of 64-bit Ubuntu, should enable MultiArch if it isn't already enabled by running the command: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 enen92
[19:11] <zaza> nothing
[19:11] <xangua> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[19:11] <mst1228> TJ- I did that, there are there astriks next to the version i think should be installed,
[19:11] <enen92> yes I did that too
[19:11] <enen92> in fact
[19:11] <mst1228> but when i check the version in command line it still says the old one
[19:11] <DarkClasko> tamatar i'm using 12.04 the lts
[19:11] <enen92> I get an error: dpkg: erro: opção desconhecida --add-architecture
[19:11] <enen92> (option not known)
[19:12] <glitsj16> james-: can you paste the output of "ls -lh /home" ?
[19:12] <xangua> enen92: what ubuntu release are you using?
[19:12] <TJ-> mst1228: Have you done "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ?
[19:12] <enen92> miguel@miguel-SATELLITE-U500:~$ uname -a

[19:13] <TJ-> zaza: Is there a Realtek USB hub?
[19:13] <zaza> after  Ctrl+alt+F1  I have login screen right? so  , here these massages
[19:13] <mst1228> TJ- it actually says: Installed: 1.4.4-1~precise0
[19:13] <mst1228> but when i do nginx -v, nginx version: nginx/1.1.19
[19:13] <TJ-> zaza: there is a known issue (I've had it myself) with the "ums_realtek" driver causing lots of those spurious messages. The work-around is to unload the kernel module
[19:13] <enen92> 12.04 xangua
[19:14] <james-> glitsj16,  james@james-Inspiron-N4010:~$ ls -lh /home

[19:14] <zaza> when I return to F7 graphic interface  ... everything is ok
[19:14] <TJ-> mst1228: What does "which nginx" report?
[19:14] <enen92> I read multiarch is already included since 12.04
[19:14] <xangua> enen92: for presice you need to install "ia32-libs-multiarch" package, not really sure about it
[19:14] <enen92> I'll try
[19:14] <TJ-> zaza: See bug #925760
[19:15] <enen92> xangua: libs already in the latest version
[19:15] <enen92> i've done that too
[19:15] <glitsj16> james-: ah i see, you forgot your username in the command to open the .odt, use /home/james/documents... and try that
[19:15] <mst1228> not yet, i'll give it a shot
[19:15] <mst1228> TJ- /usr/sbin/nginx
[19:15] <zaza> TJ   thanks  .... the thing is on another laptop (dell)  everything is OK  ..... thanks a lot
[19:16] <xangua> enel92 then I am not really helpful, sorry

[19:16] <tamatar> DarkClasko, USB booting is tricky at times, and google searching reveals that this might be an issue with syslinux. If possible can you try creating the live usb with unetbootin? or alternatively, see if this works for you:http://askubuntu.com/questions/329704/syslinux-no-default-or-ui-configuration-directive-found

[19:17] <enen92> with clementine happens the same
[19:18] <TJ-> mst1228: What is the name of the nginx package that is installed?
[19:18] <DarkClasko> "mboot.c32 -c boot.cfg" returned "could not find kernel image: mboot.c32
[19:19] <DarkClasko> i guess i'll try using a cd if i can find one
[19:19] <mst1228_> TJ- I'm trying to install nginx. 'apt-get install nginx' does install it, but an older version
[19:19] <hitsujiTMO> enen92: how did you install ia32-libs ?
[19:19] <enen92> sudo apt-get intall ia32-libs
[19:20] <mst1228_> TJ- I followed these directions to add a different repository with an updated version: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-the-latest-version-of-nginx-on-ubuntu-12-10
[19:20] <james-> glitsj16, I appreciate your patience lol... I keep messing something up somewhere along the lines. I saved your advice of naming files differently later on I am going to do so. Here is what I did this time: http://pastebin.com/Ugncd7Km
[19:20] <TJ-> mst1228: The nginx version in Precise is 1.1.191-ubuntu0.5.
[19:21] <neil_> hey everyone i just tryed ubuntu but flash does not work on firefox or chromium anyone help?
[19:22] <TJ-> mst1228_: If you're trying to install from another repository (the ppa:nginx/stable) then that version should be shown by "apt-cache policy"
[19:22] <glitsj16> james-: no worries, we'll get there .. can you paste the output (on the net) of both "ls -lh /home/james/documents" and "ls -lh /home/james/documents/Linux\ notes" please
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> !work ! | neil_
[19:22] <TJ-> mst1228_: Are you you sure that the installation of the package succeeded ?
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> !work | neil_
[19:23] <TJ-> mst1228_: what does "dpkg-query -l 'nginx*' report? Pastebin it
[19:24] <neil_> basically the video does not load
[19:24] <neil_> its just white
[19:24] <hitsujiTMO> enen92: if you run apt-get upgrade     does it also try to remove those packages?
[19:24] <neil_> first time using linux thought i would give it a shot
[19:24] <mst1228_> TJ- http://pastebin.com/z8STaZxz
[19:25] <enen92> hitsujiTmo nop
[19:25] <enen92> it says there is no upgrades available
[19:25] <james-> glitsj16,  james@james-Inspiron-N4010:~$ ls -lh /home/james/documents

[19:26] <glitsj16> james-: please put the output in apastebin, the channel works much better that way :)
[19:26] <TJ-> mst1228_: As that shows you've managed to install several versions! Can you pastebin the output of "dpkg-query -L nginx" ?
[19:26] <catalase_> hello
[19:26] <catalase_> when i use nano to edit a file
[19:26] <hitsujiTMO> james its Documents not documents
[19:26] <Danato> hello
[19:26] <catalase_> how do i save it after making changes
[19:26] <MonkeyDust> james-  the folders have capitals as first letter
[19:26] <Pici> catalase_: ctrl-o
[19:27] <james-> glitsj16, http://pastebin.com/PfKuNvsa sorry bout the flood lol...
[19:27] <mst1228_> TJ- http://pastebin.com/Dhhk9sFB
[19:27] <TJ-> mst1228_: My guess right now is that the package from the PPA installed the nginx executable to a different default location and for some reason doesn't cause replacement of the existing nginx installation packages
[19:27] <MonkeyDust> james-  simply type ls, you'll see why you get those errors
[19:27] <Pici> mst1228_: You need to have the upgraded nginx-full and nginx-common packages installed as well.
[19:28] <james-> MonkeyDust, oh that matters? I'm coming from a Windows environment where capitals and stuff don't matter. I shall try this again.
[19:28] <MonkeyDust> james-  als, use tab to complete folder names
[19:28] <mst1228_> Pici - can you guide me in doing that?
[19:28] <TJ-> mst1228_: That explains it... nginx is made up of several packages. "nginx" should depend on other packages which are installed as a result. In your case it seems that the PPA package didn't specify the depends and therefore only installed some documents, not the packages with the executables in.
[19:29] <TJ-> mst1228_: You need to do "sudo apt-get install nginx-extras nginx-full"
[19:29] <Pici> mst1228_: It should be offered if you do an sudo apt-get upgrade, or you can just
[19:29] <glitsj16> james-: organise your filesystem a bit more linux like and these trip-ups will go away, use your regular file manager, it's all under your home so nothing complicated
[19:30] <[1]Jerome> Anyone up for helping a noobie out?
[19:30] <neil_> cheers for the help lol
[19:30] <Pici> [1]Jerome: Just ask your question here and if someone can help, they will.
[19:30] <[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?
[19:31] <[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] <james-> glitsj16, and MonkeyDust  you guys are awesome. thank you.
[19:31] <neil_> hey everyone my flash player is on crack, wont work just showing white nothing
[19:32] <neil_> im like a beginner on linux so any help would be awesome
[19:32] <skypce> hello all, i am trying to use unity-2d-panel standalone, but my problem is a ramdon delay of 40 seconds in logout, restart or poweroff . i was downloaded source code and https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/unity-2d/addSmallDelayOnQuit_812104  but problem persist
[19:32] <glitsj16> james-: no trouble, takes a bit of time to get used to linux but you'll get the hang of it soon enough
[19:33] <Sach> Using ubuntu 12.04 which frequently freezes.  How do I check the cause of this?
[19:34] <james-> glitsj16, I can't wait, I love it. I don't know much about it at all but I like it anyway. It's good that I like it to cause I have to, I am trying for a computer networking degree and I need a Linux certification to graduate. Thanks again for your help i'm sure i'll be back lol
[19:34] <skypce> Sach, freezes when you use virtualbox?
[19:34] <glitsj16> james-: :) goodluck with that and till then heh
[19:35] <Sach> skypce: no, when I open documents in libre office, sometimes when I right click on my deskstop.
[19:35] <skypce> sorry Sach, try to change your kernel
[19:35] <mst1228_> TJ- Pici thanks guys, updating those other packages worked out
[19:36] <skypce> sorry Sach, i use this www.liquorix.net
[19:36] <sixtustha5> neil: what browser are you using
[19:37] <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"
[19:38] <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.
[19:39] <[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?
[19:40] <MonkeyDust> skypce  albertastals@nsa.spy
[19:40] <skypce> very thank you MonkeyDust
[19:41] <[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"
[19:42] <[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?
[19:43] <[1]Jerome> One that I don't need :p
[19:43] <ki7rw> are there linux drivers for the centrino 6300 wifi card?
[19:43] <[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.
[19:44] <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)
[19:47] <[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] <[1]Jerome> Ah. Perfect. So essencially now I have a blank folder?
[19:47] <TJ-> [1]Jerome: Yes
[19:47] <[1]Jerome> Sweet! Thanks.
[19:49] <[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.
[19:50] <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] <cihhan> Hi! I am not able to see the network card I have. lspci does not show it and when I plug the ethernet card, the leds do not blink as well. Any suggestions?

[19:59] <[1]Jerome> I found a few web tutorials that got it to work on 12.04.

[20:00] <bugs_bugger> hi there, a belated happy new year everybody.
[20:01] <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?
[20:02] <bugs_bugger> MonkeyDust: oh, sorry. thats a typo.
[20:03] <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
[20:04] <bugs_bugger> Beldar: yeah, ppa. but the problem is actually independend of the de i use...
[20:04] <hitsujiTMO> bugs_bugger: the problem is with mate then
[20:05] <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?
[20:06] <hitsujiTMO> bugs_bugger: find a better ppa and use that
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <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.
[20:09] <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
[20:10] <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
[20:12] <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
[20:15] <imanc> got DC'd
[20:17] <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.
[20:18] <imanc> OK, will do that Beldar
[20:20] <DwarfDefender> if no data is passed throught tcp socket, is it automaticaly closed after net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time seconds?
[20:21] <Shams> hello guys, i am noob to ubuntu and like to learn linux in depth where should i start from.
[20:21] <fabian232421> can someone help me please. i have problems with printing (Canon MF4320D) under ubuntu 13.10. thanks
[20:22] <Beldar> !details | fabian232421
[20:22] <Beldar> fabian232421, You ask for help by describing the problem the best you can.
[20:23] <james-> glitsj16, or MonkeyDust  Hello again would one of you happen to have a minute?  http://pastebin.com/C1hzMjxD
[20:23] <fabian232421> im also a noob. ok. i downloaded drivers from canon UFR 2.70 or so. the installed them with the app center.
[20:24] <MonkeyDust> !cups | fabian232421 start here
[20:24] <Beldar> fabian232421, Did you open printers to start with and see if the drivers were there?
[20:25] <spudnica> Hi I was looking for solution aroud internet but did not found any usefull. How can I download files from terminal, if file adress does not finish any extension?
[20:25] <fabian232421> yes the driver is there. if i enter the cups webinterface i can see the printer.
[20:25] <neil_> how do i go about instlling an older version of flash i need 10.2 via terminal?
[20:25] <Vivekananda> Hello everyone. Trying to find the location of mysql db file storage locatoin on ubuntu 12.04. please suggest howto
[20:25] <MonkeyDust> spudnica  try wget
[20:26] <TJ-> Vivekananda: I believe it is /var/lib/mysql/
[20:27] <spudnica> MonkeyDust wget does not work result is like: 500 internal serve error
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> spudnica  what file would it be?
[20:27] <spudnica> MonkeyDust *.rar msuic album
[20:27] <Vivekananda> TJ-: when I am trying to do cd /var/lib/mysql it gives me permission denied. I also tried using sudo. Should I first stop the mysql server before trying it ?
[20:27] <MotherMGA> \join
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> spudnica  and the url?
[20:28] <spudnica> MonkeyDust the url is like http://p0.bcbits.com/download/album/1ead6a3486ed647f876ad9e835325a7ea/flac/1608829719?c22209f7da1bd60ad42305b8ed18967682b555e09beaeaf87b64e917555542707f7a742c8cdf61a5c0bbfbb561f8ae85e8feb55e9e5316a7120969e63bd0114ad3a6bd7bf3de03d702cc0123d0554808cc8a7c4f147c16d238109f7ee81625837844dda540c36b30171b1f64448c57a335&fsig=9558c3222160852563950e8e1292f843&id=1608829719&ts=1388693431.2089328910
[20:28] <fabian232421>  if i run "/usr/sbin/lpinfo -v" it turns out: "direct usb://Canon/MF4320-4350%20(UFRII%20LT)?serial=SJ3003711560M&interface=1". that seems to be wrong?
[20:28] <TJ-> Vivekananda: "sudo ls -l /var/lib/mysql"
[20:29] <MonkeyDust> spudnica  it's a zip file, not a rar file
[20:29] <spearhead> james-: the home directory is lowercase so you should be able to find your file by /home/James/Documents/Linux-stuff/Linux-notes.odt
[20:29] <birdhouse> i am trying to do a fresh install of ubuntu. but, everytime i start up my computer after a new install the password does not work for decrypting. i have tryed a bunch of passawords trying to install it over and over again and i can not seem to get it to work. can anybody help me?
[20:30] <spudnica> MonekyDust sorry my mistake but does it change something? I tried to find direct link but did not find anything
[20:30] <fabian232421> birdhouse, maybe your keyboard layout dont match both times?
[20:30] <MonkeyDust> spudnica  true, the browser downloads it, wget doesnt
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <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
[20:33] <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] <glitsj16> james-: take some screenshots, upload them to somewhere like imgur.com and provide us the link if you need more help
[20:34] <james-> glitsj16, thank you I will do this if I need to get some more help i will upload thank you.
[20:35] <glitsj16> james-: that's quite allright, i remember having a bit of pain to adjust to linux filesystem syntax etc. .. what file manager do you use btw?
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> spudnica  links2, a browser in terminal, downloads it, ok
[20:35] <Bashing-om> j #ubuntuforums-unanswered
[20:37] <spudnica> MonkeyDust thanks for help gonna try links2 in some time :)
[20:38] <Aaron> or try lynx spudnica
[20:39] <birdhouse> any one have any idea what i am doing wrong? i can't use my password for decrypting the harddrive after a fresh install
[20:40] <olegfusion> Hello, guys. May somebody help? I have ubuntu server 13.10 64-bit. My problem is that I need to load apache module that is 32-bit. How can I compile apache 32-bit edition? or should I better chroot into another 32-bit new system?
[20:41] <hitsujiTMO> birdhouse: is it taking any chars?
[20:42] <hitsujiTMO> birdhouse: that is, is it responding to keyboard input
[20:42] <Pici> olegfusion: Why not just install the i386 version of apache? no recompilation needed.
[20:42] <birdhouse> yes
[20:43] <olegfusion> Pici, if I try to install apache2:i386, I have a problem with dependencies like ssl-cert, logrotate and etc etc
[20:43] <hitsujiTMO> birdhouse: what layout are you using?
[20:43] <birdhouse> you can type a password it just tellsy you it is the wrong one
[20:43] <hussain> i am is new with linux, how one can find pc ip through
[20:43] <TJ-> olegfusion: Why does the module need to be 32-bit? Which module?
[20:43] <birdhouse> i use dvorak
[20:44] <gvo> hussain: bring up a terminal window and type ipconfig
[20:44] <MonkeyDust> or ifconfig, rather
[20:44] <gvo> oops
[20:44] <gvo> Sorry
[20:44] <birdhouse> but the password install screen has no layout because it does not show you keys
[20:44] <gvo> ifconfig
[20:45] <birdhouse> it is just ****
[20:45] <olegfusion> TJ-, wsap22.so, it's specific application. I can install 32-bit only due to no patch for 64-bit
[20:45] <hitsujiTMO> birdhouse: mostlikely initramfs isn't aware of that and maybe expecting a qwerty us keyboard. can you try your passwords as if your keyboard was a qwerty keyboard
[20:45] <Shams> hello guys, i am noob to ubuntu and like to learn linux in depth where should i start from.
[20:45] <gvo> Senior moment...
[20:45] <gordonjcp> Shams: that's a bit of an open-ended question
[20:45] <TJ-> birdhouse: You'll need to do "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" to select the dvorak key layout ... you can temporarily switch using "sudo loadkeys dvorak" ... if you need to use a liveISO boot to alter the configuration via a chroot
[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
[20:46] <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] <birdhouse> both ways as if it where starting in qwerty and dvorak
[20:46] <gvo> hussain what did it say?
[20:46] <hussain> comman not found..
[20:47] <gvo> OK it's ifconfig.  I mistyped.
[20:47] <gvo> not ipconfig
[20:47] <hussain> ifgvo.. thanks alot
[20:47] <hitsujiTMO> birdhouse: then follow TJ- 's suggestion and correct the layout via chroot
[20:48] <david__> Hy
[20:48] <TJ-> olegfusion: 1C:Enterprise ... OK, you'd need to replace your 64-bit apache with 32-bit or via a chroot or LXC
[20:48] <david__> I am new to Ubuntu and its awesome
[20:49] <gvo> david__: and how can we help?
[20:49] <olegfusion> TJ-, I tried 32-bit apache installation, but it is so many dependencies are failing to install due to integration with system.
[20:49] <david__> i dont know whic program is good for playing windows games ;)
[20:49] <olegfusion> TJ-, like perl, procps, ssl-cert..
[20:50] <TJ-> olegfusion: Well, you need to talk to 1C about that... it is their software, after-all.
[20:50] <gvo> david__: Windows is best.
[20:50] <olegfusion> TJ-, I'd better compile apache or make chroot.
[20:50] <olegfusion> can't reinstall system to 32-bit.
[20:50] <david__> :D
[20:50] <glitsj16> Shams: there's a nice ubuntu manual that can help you get started too --> http://ubuntu-manual.org/downloads
[20:51] <gvo> david__: I'm serious.  Many windows games don't run well or even at all on Linux.
[20:51] <mario_> hello
[20:51] <david__> i want to play only League Of Legends ;)
[20:52] <Shams> glitsj16, that is what i ment, i needed some link where i can start it from, i dont even know the basic command, thnks glistsj
[20:52] <birdhouse> ok, problem solved. thanks for you help everyone. password was layed out in qwerty even thought it was istalled as dvorak. also special charerters seems to break password.
[20:52] <hitsujiTMO> david__: play dota 2 instead. its native to ubuntu
[20:52] <david__> realy? is free?
[20:52] <glitsj16> Shams: you're welcome, enjoy the experience
[20:52] <gvo> david__: Or look at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19141
[20:53] <david__> ty
[20:53] <david__> gvo what do you like more windows or linux'
[20:53] <david__> ?
[20:53] <hitsujiTMO> david__: yes dota 2 is free to play
[20:56] <Vivekananda> I am trying to set max packets size in mysql but when I input the command I get this : ERROR 1227 (42000): Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation. What should I do ?
[20:56] <Pessimist> david__, you can try running league through play on linux (it's working almost flawlessly for me :) )
[20:56] <gvo> david__: I don't run windows.
[20:56] <david__> ok i downloaded PlayONLInux and we will see if will works well ;)
[20:57] <david__> ty for help
[20:57] <spudnica> MonkeyDust thanks for solution it works perfectly :)
[20:57] <ChickenBrain> what is dota?
[20:57] <gvo> Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena video game and the stand-alone sequel to the Defense of the Ancients (DotA) mod.
[20:58] <ChickenBrain> native to linux... not bad
[20:58] <MonkeyDust> spudnica  glad i could help :)
[20:58] <ChickenBrain> not that it sounds like anything I would play :)
[20:58] <hitsujiTMO> data 2 is essentially valves version of lol
[21:00] <Okitain> hitsujiTMO: if it wasn't an Ubuntu channel, you'd be fired upon with a gun of the highest caliber.
[21:00] <Pessimist> hitsujiTMO, pls don't start a flame war and this is offtopic
[21:01] <hitsujiTMO> had no intention of such. and yeah its ot, so i'll keep quiet about it
[21:01] <rifkin> i want to change the layout with the onscreen keyboard to thai
[21:01] <rifkin> i use gok
[21:01] <rifkin> with LANG=th i only change the menu not the keyboard layout
[21:02] <TJ-> rifkin: You'll need to do "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup"
[21:03] <gvo> rifkin: Also have a look at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Thai-HOWTO-2.html
[21:03] <TJ-> rifkin: I think the on-screen takes notice of the system setting... or you can use "loadkeys" for temporary changes.
[21:15] <freeroute> happy new year!
[21:16] <freeroute> is iptables supposed to not work in 12.04? When I do iptables -L it gives me the following error:
[21:16] <freeroute> iptables: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libxtables.so.7: invalid ELF header
[21:17] <Rory> freeroute: Is that a fresh install of 12.04?
[21:17] <freeroute> Rory: not really, but I haven't touched iptables before
[21:19] <Rory> freeroute: That's really weird; can you try "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install --reinstall iptables"
[21:20] <visceral> is it normal for the 13.10 live environment to require you to press enter for it to finish rebooting after the ubuntu installer runs? this has happened twice for me now: once on baremetal, and once in a vm
[21:20] <visceral> and if it is normal, what's the reason for it? doesn't seem intentional...
[21:20] <freeroute> Rory: do you mind if I use aptitude for that?
[21:21] <rww> visceral: Yes. Theoretically, you would see a message along the lines of "Remote installation media and press enter to reboot"
[21:21] <visceral> rww, i saw no such message either time
[21:21] <Rory> freeroute: Use what you like, as long as it reinstalls
[21:23] <freeroute> Rory: I got some errors about ELF again I think - http://install.kpaste.net/b71832b6f7
[21:23] <freeroute> Rory: but iptables seems to work now
[21:26] <cordyceps> how do I remove leading  "./" from  playlist.m3u  using sed?
[21:27] <treeprogram> Hi, my cmake is version 2.8.7. I'm trying to upgrade to 2.8.12.1, but I'm a linux noob. Could someone guide me on how to do it?
[21:28] <Rory> treeprogram: Why do you want to upgrade to 2.8.12.1?
[21:30] <treeprogram> Rory: I'm trying to build Bitcoin-based software, and the 'cmake' is failing. Someone who had a similar problem was able to fix it by upgrading to a newer version of cmake
[21:30] <MonkeyDust> !info cmake
[21:31] <Rory> treeprogram: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[21:31] <treeprogram> Rory: 12.04
[21:31] <MonkeyDust> treeprogram  13.10 has 2.8.11 ... try the !backports
[21:32] <Rory> !backports
[21:33] <treeprogram> MonkeyDust: thanks will check it out
[21:34] <DF3D2> is memory use reported in htop accurate?
[21:34] <usr755> hello everyone, I mistakenly "chmod 700 the autostart folder" and now Im unable to login to my session. Currently Im running the LIVE CD UBUNTU 12.04 LTS, please is there anyway to chmod back the autostart folder and get back my session please.
[21:35] <freeroute> DF3D2: I believe it's the same info from df -h
[21:35] <DF3D2> usr755, idk what the correct permissions are but i'd assume chmod -R 777 would work
[21:35] <DF3D2> just as a temp fix
[21:36] <daftykins> DF3D2: never advise a 777, seriously bad practice
[21:36] <Jeruvy> 755 or 644
[21:36] <DF3D2> daftykins, did you not see where I said temporary fix just so he could log in ?
[21:37] <usr755> DF3D2, yeah, but how do i do that  "unable to log in, session failed" how do i get boot in terminal so i can fix itM
[21:37] <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] <DF3D2> usr755, ctrl+alt+F#
[21:37] <usr755> DF3D, in gnome log inM
[21:38] <usr755> DF3D, in gnome log in?
[21:38] <DF3D2> usr755, on your keyboard hit ctrl+alt+F1 or F2, F7 is xorg
[21:38] <DF3D2> anyway i'm on lubuntu guys and it is claiming I am using 2g/4g of ram on this machine and I just don't see how when I barely have anything open I thought lubuntu was supposed to be light ?
[21:39] <rww> !ram | DF3D2
[21:39] <rww> tl;dr: stop caring about RAM, it's making itself useful and will be given to programs if they need it
[21:40] <DF3D2> rww, so it is pre allocating then
[21:40] <DF3D2> or caching or whatever
[21:41] <rww> probably, yep. the first website linked has some commands that would give you info on that
[21:47] <tclarke> not sure if this is the right channel...I'm setting 12.04 MAAS and I'm having trouble following the install docs...I get to the point where I need to d/l initial boot images and run "maas-cli mynam node-groups import-boot-images" where mynam is the name of my login profile

[21:51] <test3993> Hello
[21:51] <test3993> How do I mirror a directory in Ubuntu?
[21:52] <koyetsu> has anyone setup a minecraft server under ubuntu? i have spare hardware sitting around and was thinking about setting one up just because
[21:52] <hitsujiTMO> test3993: define "mirror"? you want to rsync it? symlink it?
[21:52] <jhutchins> test3993: From what to what?
[21:53] <hitsujiTMO> koyetsu: what exactly do you want to know?
[21:55] <koyetsu> just how annoying it's gonna be. i know there is mineos but can't get it and wanted to setup a server to spawn different minecraft setups for messing around with including different mods
[21:55] <majnemer> Hi! I'm having a bit of trouble with a new keyboard. Pressing the Mute/Unmute button does not seem to have an effect on ALSA.
[21:55] <majnemer> `xev' shows that the button is recognized as XF86AudioMute
[21:55] <koyetsu> eg, bukkit tekkit and some of the more involved mods
[21:55] <majnemer> Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
[21:55] <rww> koyetsu: might try #minecraft if you haven't already
[21:57] <koyetsu> that tends to be from a none server side of things the extent of their help is "did you google?
[21:57] <soman> Why I cannot see my photo camera in /media? I connected canon powershot a550 via usb and nothing happens like was before. Xubuntu 12.04, lsusb output about canon device http://pastebin.kde.org/p4w7enxwc/3auf3o
[21:57] <koyetsu> or, just run you server in windows
[21:57] <hitsujiTMO> koyetsu: if you know how to create your own services and know how to pipe commands to apps in screen sessions then it's pretty trivial. if not stick with mineos
[21:57] <koyetsu> bleh
[21:58] <soman> sorry like wasn't before. Usually os opens a thunar with device's folder
[21:58] <[[a]> D3D2, I just fixed the chmod problem
[21:59] <foxx> hello. whenever i use "fakechroot fakeroot" with deboostrap, the second stage always seems to apply the wrong prefix to symlinks.. i.e.  ls -lah home/foxx/wtf/etc/nologin shows "wtf/etc/nologin -> /home/foxx/wtf/var/lib/initscripts/nologin", so its applying full absolute path to symlinks in second stage rather than "/". any ideas how to stop this behavior from happening?
[21:59] <koyetsu> hitsujiTMO i was just wondering if anyone had done it in ubuntu and how annoyed i was gonna get trying to make it work...
[21:59] <koyetsu> this is me being bored and trying to come up with something to do with a buncha excess hardware...
[22:00] <[[a]> How do I make a secure chmod for /etc/xdg/autostart , i mean the autostart folder should be chmod on what measure? 750 or 777 ? the session is working only becuz I chmod autostart into 777 ? is it secure?
[22:00] <koyetsu> i've already setup a 4 server cluster for citrix xenserver
[22:00] <MonkeyDust> majnemer  in dconf-editor: org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings
[22:00] <koyetsu> so now i'm bored
[22:01] <majnemer> MonkeyDust: I think I've figured it out. My WM, xmonad, does not set this up by default.
[22:01] <majnemer> Thanks though!
[22:02] <hitsujiTMO> koyetsu: quite annoyed. you'll need everything to run under a single mc user. mc server writes everything as 644 even if you specify a different umask, and also expects a non standard return character. piping commands to screen can be a little confusing if you've never done it before.
[22:04] <koyetsu> bleh...sounds like more effort than i really wanna get into.....i really am only sorta interested in messing with it.
[22:07] <[[a]> How do I make a folder completely inaccessible only by root, I mean other users when they to open it, they can't.
[22:07] <MonkeyDust> [[a]  with chown
[22:07] <gvo> and chmod
[22:07] <[[a]> chwon "name of folder"    and thats?
[22:08] <gvo> man chown
[22:08] <[[a]> ok
[22:08] <hitsujiTMO> [[a]: sudo chown root:root /path/to/folder && such chmod 700 /path/to/folder
[22:08] <gvo> such = sudo
[22:08] <MonkeyDust> [[a]  do some reading here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[22:08] <[[a]> thank you All
[22:08] <jhutchins> possibly -R w/ chmod.
[22:09] <[[a]> yeah its helpful, thank you all very much
[22:09] <hitsujiTMO> ty gvo
[22:09] <gvo> sure :)  I do it myself too often.
[22:09] <lunareffect> Could anyone please help me with this problem? When ever I try to launch anything using OpenGL I get the following error: Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0". The weird thing about it is, that I haven't even got an NVidia Card in my computer.
[22:11] <lunareffect> More info: Running Ubuntu 13.10, didn't have the problem in 13.04 or in Xubuntu 13.10. The machine is an Aspire One 756 with Intel Graphics.
[22:14] <hitsujiTMO> lunareffect: can you pastebin the output of: dpkg --get-selections
[22:17] <lunareffect> hitsujiTMO, certainly, thank you. here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6681160/
[22:18] <hitsujiTMO> lunareffect: you've the nvidia driver installed.
[22:19] <hitsujiTMO> lunareffect: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-319-updates nvidia-settings-319-updates
[22:19] <lunareffect> hitsujiTMO, how weird, I remember I had nvidia settings in Xubuntu. It worked fine until I tried using them, which broke my X, so I switched to Ubuntu
[22:20] <lunareffect> thank you, hitsujiTMO
[22:20] <[[a]> Guys, I asked the question wrongly, I should have put it in this way : How do I make a given folder inaccessible (I did chmod it into root) & When I double click to open => It won't.
[22:20] <[[a]> Guys, I asked the question wrongly, I should have put it in this way : How do I make a given folder inaccessible (I did chmod it into root) & When I double click to open => It won't.
[22:21] <smerz> inacessible to whom ?
[22:21] <lunareffect> It seems to have something to do with OpenCV, which is weird.
[22:21] <gvo> Well you did want to make it inaccesible
[22:21] <hitsujiTMO> [[a]: you much chmod + chown it.
[22:21] <hitsujiTMO> must*
[22:21] <MonkeyDust> [[a]  you want to make it accessible by root only, so that's what you did
[22:22] <gvo> and as long as you are not running as root, double clicking it in a file manage won't open it.
[22:22] <gvo> manager
[22:22] <Kartagis> can I ensure my USB hard disk is *always* the same device, eg /dev/sdc1 ?
[22:22] <lunareffect> hitsujiTMO, thank you so much, that did the trick! :D
[22:23] <hitsujiTMO> lunareffect: np
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <viscera> i seem to recall that this capability was generalised to both a while back
[22:25] <Kartagis> hitsujiTMO: hrm, I could use the UUID to make sure it always mounts
[22:25] <Kartagis> thanks for the tip hitsujiTMO
[22:25] <hitsujiTMO> Kartagis: what way are you defining the mount. in fstab?
[22:25] <Kartagis> hitsujiTMO: yeah
[22:25] <[[a]> sorry I meant Folder not file*
[22:25] <smerz> [[a], you may have access it because the files are still under your group ?
[22:25] <smerz> *to it
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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?
[22:29] <[[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
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <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.
[22:32] <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]> ok I tried this "chmod -R 700 encrypted-folder" and it worked. Now I can't open the folder niether double-click and open it.
[22:32] <[[a]> workds like a charm
[22:34] <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?
[22:35] <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] <gvo> When I first heard about it I was surprised.
[22:35] <wafflejock> yeah believe it should be user then group then other in terms of how it checks
[22:36] <sa_> i downloaded the vim source file "vim-7.4.tar.bz2" to my Desktop/ then i "tar xvjf vim-7.4.tar.bz2"  so now i have the 'vim74' folder on my desktop
[22:36] <wafflejock> as in are you the user, if not are you in the group, if not you are other
[22:36] <sa_> in which directory do i use the command "make install" ?
[22:36] <wafflejock> sa_: is there a README file?
[22:36] <bekks> sa_: Hopefully in none. Better use checkinstall
[22:37] <smerz> indeed. thanks gvo :-)
[22:37] <smerz> it would appear so indeed
[22:37] <gvo> np
[22:44] <sa_> it just says "make install" in the readme-unix.txt
[22:44] <sa_> when i "make install" in the 'Desktop/vim74/" directory it says "make: Nothing to be done for `install'."
[22:45] <mayankmadan> i need help with installing kiwix
[22:45] <mayankmadan> *building
[22:46] <mayankmadan> i get this error ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386
[22:46] <whitemikeftw> mayankmadan you can set that env variable in your .bash_rc i believe
[22:46] <mayankmadan> whitemikeftw, thanks
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> mayankmadan: did you set the variable?
[22:47] <mayankmadan> i dont think i did
[22:47] <Pici> sa_: Are you aware that vim is in the repositories?
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> If you run: echo $JAVA_HOME ,is anything output?
[22:48] <sa_> Pici, yes, but for 12.04 the default is 7.3... i thought it'd be easy to use the source files for 7.4
[22:48] <mayankmadan> ActionParsnip, bash: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386: No such file or directory
[22:48] <mayankmadan> how do i set the variable
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> mayankmadan: if you install Oracle Java via the Webupd8 PPA it will set it for you :-)
[22:49] <mayankmadan> ActionParsnip, but is there a way to set it up manually?
[22:49] <whitemikeftw> yes
[22:49] <mayankmadan> how?
[22:49] <whitemikeftw> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6477415/how-to-set-java-home-in-ubuntu
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> mayankmadan: expot JAVA_HOME /path/you/have
[22:50] <mayankmadan> ActionParsnip, do i need to run it in terminal
[22:50] <haploid> Is there anything in wget that would cause a download to begin very fast( ~30M/s) then suddenly slow to 100K/s about 13 through the download ?
[22:50] <mayankmadan> and do i need to restart after that?
[22:50] <haploid> er 1/3
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> mayankmadan: yes but you will need to change the path obviously
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> mayankmadan: no need to reboot
[22:51] <whitemikeftw> haploid probably the server
[22:52] <hitsujiTMO> haploid: if the file you're downloading gzips very well and the server is set to gzip for that file then it could be the cause
[22:53] <mayankmadan> ActionParsnip, the path needs to be to the directory, right?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> mayankmadan: yes, it usually ends in 'bin'
[22:54] <histumness> when I ssh to my laptop (Ubuntu) from my desktop (Windows/PuTTY) every minute or so the connection will seem to hang for several seconds
[22:54] <histumness> does anybody know what could cause this?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> histumness: check the output of: dmesg | tail ,after the slowness
[22:55] <histumness> ActionParsnip: I've tried that, there is never anything new after slowness
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> histumness: try different network settings maybe. Or run wireshark and check logs after slownes.
[23:03] <Guest57546> When I try to open my windows partition i get http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj500/dcain14/Screenshot2014-01-02145556_zps8a753a77.png please help if it involves going back to windows what else can I do
[23:05] <hitsujiTMO> Dcain: if an ntfs partition is marked for chkdsk then linux will refuse to go near it until chkdsk is performed
[23:05] <Dcain> ok
[23:07] <Dcain> and how do i find chkdsk
[23:07] <bekks> Dcain: It is on your Windows installation.
[23:07] <Dcain> oh then i have a problem
[23:07] <hitsujiTMO> Dcain: chkdsk is in windows. it should run automatically for an unclean filesystem
[23:07] <ObrienDave> Dcain, what problem?
[23:08] <Dcain> the uefi boot thing for windows doesnt run anymore only the boot for ubuntu does
[23:08] <Dcain> Thats why I needed help so I can run windows again without reinstalling
[23:08] <hitsujiTMO> Dcain: maybe both are connected
[23:08] <hitsujiTMO> Dcain: do you need write access tot he drive or will readonly do?
[23:09] <Dcain> ive been looking for read only in the mount options for ubuntu
[23:09] <OerHeks> Dcain, there is a "dirty" way yo clean the flags in your ntfs, but i would rather use windows >> see answer #1  http://askubuntu.com/questions/112150/how-to-correctly-fix-a-dirty-ntfs-partition-without-using-chkdsk
[23:10] <hitsujiTMO> Dcain: sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs sudo mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sda4 /mnt/ntfs
[23:12] <hitsujiTMO> Dcain: if you have a windows isntall disk you could also run chkdsk from the disk
[23:13] <Dcain> i unfortunately dont have an install disk i got my pc preinstalled with windows and geek squad doesnt give out disks

[23:40] <sa_> what does "bash: !cp: event not found" mean?
[23:41] <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
[23:53] <sa_> Rylee, thank you
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <sa_> Rylee, thanks again that clears that up. lol
[23:56] <Rylee> heh, no problem, have fun with vim ^^
