| Hydr0p0nX | is there a supported method of getting kernel 3.12 on ubuntu 12.04 ? | 00:00 |
| Gallomimia | Hydr0p0nX: nope. download the .deb files from kernel.ubuntu.org | 00:00 |

| BbbKUE | Gallomimia so I need to penale dhcp on router | 00:00 |
| BbbKUE | *enable | 00:01 |
| Burrito | Hydr0p0nX, I compiled 3.12 myself in order to investigate/fix a WiFi bug... I use Linux Mint 13, and it worked. It's the equivalent of trying it on Ubuntu 12.04, I guess. Your package manager might cry a little, and your graphics drivers might need to be reinstalled (I had to). | 00:01 |
| Gallomimia | if your dhcp is disabled, how is there any info being passed about hostnames/dhcp client id's? | 00:01 |
| killerbart10 | can someone help me, i get the initramfs/busybox error when booting ubuntu 12.03 | 00:01 |
| Gallomimia | Hydr0p0nX, Burrito: i simply installed the .deb packages with dpkg -i | 00:01 |
| killerbart10 | 00:02 | |
| Hydr0p0nX | i've got 3.12 installed, but the nvidia driver complains about it | 00:02 |
| Burrito | Gallomimia, Ah, yes. That will work too. I had to compile in order to get special config options. | 00:02 |
| killerbart10 | can someone help me, i get the initramfs/busybox error when booting ubuntu 12.03 | 00:02 |
| Hydr0p0nX | so i'm stuck with nouveau or compile from source | 00:02 |
| Burrito | once is enough, kill_u | 00:02 |
| Burrito | killerbart10, * | 00:02 |
| Gallomimia | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/ (for 13.10) | 00:02 |
| Gallomimia | oops. you wanted 12.04? | 00:02 |
| killerbart10 | yes | 00:02 |
| BbbKUE | Gallomimia can you please explain metter? | 00:03 |
| Hydr0p0nX | Gallomimia, that's the kernel i'm using now | 00:03 |
| Hydr0p0nX | and it's fixed my audio out issue | 00:03 |
| killerbart10 | anyone? | 00:03 |
| Gallomimia | actually no. but if you have dhcp disabled, there's no medium for passing the hostname or client ID to the router | 00:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | Hydr0p0nX: did you ibstall the headers ? | 00:04 |
| Hydr0p0nX | yes | 00:04 |
| hot2trot | how can I remove everything in a directory, but not certain things in that directory usinga wildcard? So, how could I remove everything in a directory besides things ending in .avi? | 00:04 |
| Gallomimia | all three packages. i missed one and it went bananas on me | 00:04 |
| Burrito | Hydr0p0nX, I also had problems. I had to uninstall everything nvidia and jockey related, and then reinstall the appropriate driver. I followed this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66339/how-do-i-solve-this-nvidia-driver-download-error | 00:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | Hydr0p0nX: what error are you getting? | 00:04 |
| Gallomimia | hot2trot: find command is your answer | 00:04 |
| rww | hot2trot: find . \! -iname '*.avi' <--- if that works, add -delete on the end | 00:04 |
| killerbart10 | ? | 00:04 |
| Hydr0p0nX | The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which | 00:04 |
| Hydr0p0nX | does not match this kernel/arch | 00:04 |
| Hydr0p0nX | oops | 00:05 |
| Burrito | Gallomimia, Is there no DNS-related method for hostnames? I regularly use DNS names on my network, and some of the clients I use it with do not use DHCP. | 00:05 |
| Gallomimia | rww has it. use it without -delete as a test to make sure | 00:05 |
| BARbQ | Gallomimia Here I am | 00:05 |
| Gallomimia | Burrito: that's a configuration nightmare i think... what did you do? | 00:05 |
| Burrito | Gallomimia, It just works. | 00:05 |

| Burrito | Gallomimia, Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2 | 00:06 |
| Gallomimia | hot2trot: find is highly scriptable. the man page will tell you all about it | 00:06 |
| Burrito | killerbart10, once is enough. | 00:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | Hydr0p0nX: have you tried commenting out the BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive? | 00:06 |
| Gallomimia | Burrito: with dhcp on? | 00:06 |
| rww | hot2trot: if you stick all the file names one after the other on mplayer's command line, will it work? | 00:06 |
| rww | hot2trot: like, theoretically | 00:06 |
| Gallomimia | it does | 00:06 |
| hot2trot | rww: well... yes | 00:06 |
| Gallomimia | i just found that out last night | 00:07 |
| killerbart10 | where can i find help on boot failure | 00:07 |
| rww | hot2trot: find . \! -iname '*.avi' -print0 | xargs mplayer | 00:07 |
| Gallomimia | !nick BARbQ | 00:07 |
| Burrito | Gallomimia, The router has DHCP on, but not all of the clients use it. I told some clients to use static IPs. Maybe I have the vocabulary wrong? Maybe they still use DHCP to get their static IPs? | 00:07 |
| rww | erm | 00:07 |
| rww | hot2trot: find . \! -iname '*.avi' -print0 | xargs -0 mplayer | 00:07 |

| ubottu | BARbQ, please see my private message | 00:07 |

| Gallomimia | bah. just... tell everyone | 00:07 |
| Gallomimia | !nick | 00:07 |
| ubottu | Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. | 00:07 |
| Hydr0p0nX | i don't see a build_exclusin in the dkms.conf, | 00:08 |
| hot2trot | rww: thank you good sir! | 00:08 |
| rww | hot2trot: no problem :) | 00:08 |
| BARbQ | Gallomimia I just tried to connected via dhcp and see no hostname. Only IP | 00:09 |
| killerbart10 | im bootin ubuntu 12.3 from sd card and i get a busbox error say that my partition isnt mounted | 00:09 |
| Burrito | killerbart10, SD card? Maybe the SD card is not partitioned correctly? In any case, this tool can be used to solve most common booting issues: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 00:09 |
| Burrito | killerbart10, has this issue occurred just out of the blue? Could you boot from it before? Or did it start occurring after an update? | 00:10 |
| knightshade | hi | 00:10 |
| BARbQ | bye! | 00:10 |
| Gallomimia | BARbQ: the hostname of another computer is determined through lookup services. this consists of looking at nameservers and through the host file. each machine needs access to a list of hosts you want determined. the router on the network sometimes doubles as a nameserver, or you can configure it all yourself. | 00:10 |
| Gallomimia | ...... | 00:10 |
| Burrito | >_< | 00:10 |
| Gallomimia | next time try google if you're so impatient :( | 00:11 |
| Burrito | Gallomimia, I think that's what mine does. It has DNSMasq installed. | 00:11 |
| Burrito | So.. It can do some nameserver things I guess | 00:11 |
| Gallomimia | and it probably pairs it up with the dhcp-client-id's that each machine gives when it requests an ip | 00:11 |
| Burrito | I see | 00:11 |
| killerbart10 | i booted fine befor then i uninstalled it because itwouldnt connect the internet then i tried installing it and thats when i get the error | 00:11 |
| Gallomimia | and then anything that has .com or .net at the end, it requests the details from your isp's nameservers and passes that along | 00:12 |
| Gallomimia | like a normal dns | 00:12 |
| Gallomimia | possible to configure a linux machine to run one... not as hard as you think, but not as easy as you'd like | 00:13 |
| Burrito | killerbart10, Use GParted to completely format the SD card, removing all partitions and flags, then make one bug EXT2 or EXT3 partition, and try installing it again. (If you haven't already tried that). | 00:13 |
| Burrito | killerbart10, what did you use to install the system onto the SD card? | 00:13 |
| killerbart10 | im not curruntly using ubuntu to make my sd bootable | 00:13 |
| killerbart10 | i used the terminal dd command | 00:14 |
| Burrito | Ah.. | 00:14 |
| Burrito | I've never done that before. | 00:14 |
| PublicStaticVoid | anyone know the package to support aac playback? | 00:14 |
| PublicStaticVoid | wasnt in ubuntu-restricted-extras or -extras | 00:14 |
| PublicStaticVoid | er -adons | 00:14 |
| PublicStaticVoid | addons | 00:14 |
| FloodBot1 | PublicStaticVoid: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:14 |
| * Burrito pats FloodBot1 on the head "So sensitive..." | 00:15 | |
| PublicStaticVoid | Yeah that wasn't a flood | 00:15 |
| Burrito | PublicStaticVoid, libfaac0 and libfaad2 look relevant. | 00:17 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Burrito: Thanks. Can you tell me how you searched that, for future reference? | 00:17 |
| Burrito | I have it installed - I searched Synaptic for ".aac" and then sorted by what I have installed. | 00:18 |
| PublicStaticVoid | oh | 00:18 |
| Burrito | Synaptic found it in precise/multiverse | 00:18 |
| PublicStaticVoid | I guess apt-cache search isnt very powerful just searches package names | 00:18 |
| Gallomimia | killerbart10: what type of image file are you working with? it's likely you used dd of=/dev/thepartition and not the root device file. try it again | 00:18 |
| PublicStaticVoid | How do I use synaptic to search packages? | 00:19 |
| Gallomimia | dpkg --get-selections is more powerful | 00:19 |
| PublicStaticVoid | cool | 00:19 |
| Gallomimia | or are you looking for something to install? | 00:19 |
| Gallomimia | what i listed shows your installed packages | 00:20 |
| Burrito | PublicStaticVoid, I'm on Mint. I ran "synaptic-pkexec", entered my password, and then used the search UI (there's a small search box at the top of the window). If you want an ncurses or text interface, I think Aptitude might be able to help you. | 00:20 |
| killerbart10 | yes, i used the ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso file with dd | 00:20 |
| PublicStaticVoid | looking for a better way to search the repos for packages then just apt-cache search maybe a command that searches the descriptions as well? | 00:20 |
| Gallomimia | can you list the full command you used to dd it on there killerbart10 ? | 00:20 |
| killerbart10 | ok | 00:21 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Burrito: Yea I like to just use commands if possible for speed | 00:21 |
| PublicStaticVoid | not a big UI person | 00:21 |
| Gallomimia | finding the right /dev for your of= thing is tough :/ | 00:21 |
| Burrito | :P | 00:21 |
| killerbart10 | dd if=/home/user/Desktop/ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb1 | 00:21 |
| Gallomimia | knock the 1 off the end and try that | 00:21 |
| PublicStaticVoid | er GUI I should say | 00:21 |
| killerbart10 | ok | 00:21 |
| Gallomimia | again, be super careful with dd | 00:21 |
| PublicStaticVoid | yeah dd needs a partition I am prety sure | 00:22 |
| Gallomimia | sdb means the second drive attached | 00:22 |
| ClaireMc | Hi. I'm new to Ubuntu. How do I access a list of all the installed applications rather than just the icons in the side bar? | 00:22 |
| PublicStaticVoid | dd = data destroyer | 00:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | PublicStaticVoid: apt-cache search searches the description aswell | 00:22 |
| Burrito | XD | 00:22 |
| Gallomimia | not to make bootable drives. it needs the full disk | 00:22 |
| Gallomimia | since it includes an mbr and so on | 00:22 |
| PublicStaticVoid | hitsujiTMO: huh, well apt-cache search aac returned nothing :( | 00:22 |
| Burrito | yeah, remember that ISOs are images of entire disks, meant to be booted as they are. | 00:22 |
| PublicStaticVoid | No it returned to much sorry. | 00:22 |
| Gallomimia | grep it perhaps? or put it thru less and read it all | 00:23 |
| PublicStaticVoid | haha ok | 00:23 |
| Burrito | apt-cache search aac | grep aac? :P | 00:23 |
| Gallomimia | pipe it to a file and put it on your tablet to read during number 2? | 00:23 |
| Gallomimia | no grep it for something useful. | 00:24 |
| Gallomimia | "something useful" will be probably what you think of after reading the first few pages of results | 00:24 |
| Burrito | oh, doing "| grep aac" actually helps | 00:24 |
| PublicStaticVoid | haha | 00:24 |
| Gallomimia | heh. can't see why, the results should all have aac in it? | 00:24 |
| PublicStaticVoid | I know right | 00:25 |
| PublicStaticVoid | SO I woulnt know what to grep | 00:25 |
| PublicStaticVoid | maybe codec | 00:25 |
| Gallomimia | maybe support | 00:25 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Yeah | 00:25 |
| Gallomimia | maybe audio | 00:25 |
| Gallomimia | music | 00:25 |
| Gallomimia | that's why i suggest less, skim the results a few pages, and grep it for a few things. | 00:25 |
| Burrito | http://pastebin.com/SiKpX87t | 00:25 |
| killerbart10 | i also cant connect to the internet in ubuntu, it asks me to put the WEP key in but when i do it doesnt let me press connect? | 00:26 |
| Gallomimia | i also suggest the full results into a text file so you can do multiple operations on it without having to poll the apt-cache 5 or 10 times? | 00:26 |
| Gallomimia | killerbart10: your key isn't long enough | 00:26 |
| Gallomimia | WEP minimum length is 8 right? | 00:26 |
| Burrito | Try WICD maybe? | 00:27 |
| killerbart10 | but iit works on my other computers | 00:27 |
| PublicStaticVoid | killerbart10: sounds like it isnt getting enough characters or not getting expected input | 00:27 |
| killerbart10 | what should i do? | 00:27 |
| Burrito | Maybe NetworkManager is expecting a full Hex "key", and not a passphrase. | 00:27 |
| PublicStaticVoid | NetworkManager sucks so bad | 00:27 |
| gordonjcp | wasn't there a networkmanager plugin for WEP, that didn't bother asking for a WEP key but just cracked it? | 00:27 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Well i did when I used it on Arch | 00:27 |
| Burrito | I think you should try WICD, killerbart10. You would need to get it through a wired network connection or through a USB stick. | 00:28 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Why on earth is your router still using WEP btw?Might as well still be open | 00:28 |
| Burrito | yeah, I also think you should start using WPA2, killerbart10 :P | 00:28 |
| Gallomimia | agreed | 00:28 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Cause WEP is cracked as easily as an android app now a days | 00:28 |
| picca | gordonjcp: that doesn't sound ethical at all, but wouldn't surprise me | 00:28 |
| killerbart10 | how do i find what key i have | 00:29 |
| PublicStaticVoid | aircrack-ng can do any WEP key in about 2 mins or less | 00:29 |
| Gallomimia | killerbart10: you usually set that in your accesspoint's setup | 00:29 |
| PublicStaticVoid | gordonjcp: Haha | 00:29 |
| killerbart10 | ok brb | 00:29 |
| Burrito | Sometimes I wish tab-completion would pick the person who spoke last, first. | 00:30 |
| PublicStaticVoid | just type your default gateway address in a browser on any machine connected to the router | 00:30 |
| Burrito | Would be very useful in these big channels. | 00:30 |
| Gallomimia | it will, if you use a client that is smart | 00:30 |

| Burrito | killerbart10, It seems like boot-repair has solved the issue for many people, maybe you can try it | 00:51 |
| Burrito | quem, many people have done it with a Raspberry Pi. They are low voltage, and can run for months on end without a reboot. | 00:51 |
| Burrito | Also easy to make a battery backup for them. | 00:52 |
| killerbart10 | how do use/install boot-repair? | 00:52 |
| Burrito | It's a package - you can install: sudo apt-get install boot-repair | 00:52 |
| Burrito | and then use: boot-repair | 00:53 |
| killerbart10 | ok | 00:53 |
| Burrito | You will have to change the "Advanced Settings" to be more relevant to the SD card, though. It will by default try to perform operations on your current (hard drive) system. | 00:53 |
| killerbart10 | sudo apt-get install boot-rapair | 00:54 |
| killerbart10 | Reading package lists... Done | 00:54 |
| killerbart10 | Building dependency tree... Done | 00:54 |
| killerbart10 | E: Couldn't find package boot-rapair | 00:54 |
| ander_ | beldar : thanks for your help earlier... | 00:54 |
| bekks | killerbart10: boot-repair, not boot-rapair | 00:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | killerbart10: did you dd the iso to the sd? | 00:54 |
| bekks | killerbart10: And I guess boot-repair is a livecd. | 00:55 |
| DMackey | I have a question, I'm looking for that "Ubuntu Satanic Edition 666.10 64-bit iso" Every link I follow leads to a dead end. TOrrents included. | 00:55 |
| ander_ | i fixed the usb card reader.... | 00:55 |
| bekks | DMackey: It isnt support officially. | 00:55 |
| killerbart10 | couldnt find package | 00:56 |
| DMackey | I'm ok with that. | 00:56 |
| DMackey | I read about it, just wanted to play with it. | 00:56 |
| killerbart10 | could i unmount the sd then install the iso again like i have done befor | 00:56 |
| Burrito | hitsujiTMO, yep, that's what he did. At first he dd'd it to "/dev/sdb1". Now he also tried to dd it to "/dev/sdb", and apparently that didn't work either. | 00:56 |
| Beldar | ander_, Cool, no prob. | 00:56 |
| Burrito | killerbart10, did you spell "boot-repair" correctly? | 00:56 |
| killerbart10 | yes | 00:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | DMackey: i don't think it actually exists. think that was a piss take | 00:57 |
| ander_ | Beldar, Ifix the card reader issue .. i feel really dumb .. it was a bad usb cable , something so simple.. but thank you for your time | 00:57 |
| killerbart10 | i did sdb1 and sdb they worked befor | 00:57 |
| DMackey | hitsujiTMO, Well that sucks. | 00:57 |

| killerbart10 | oh | 00:58 |
| brokendrive | need help in a bad way. | 00:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | killerbart10: did you md5sum the iso to make sure it downloaded correctly? boot repair isn't going to fix any problems with an iso image | 00:58 |
| killerbart10 | what is md5sum | 00:59 |
| ander_ | Beldar, yea i overlooked cause it was giveing it power , just no data | 00:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | !md5 | killerbart10 | 00:59 |

| brokendrive | the external broken 1tb drive is at /sdb and the mac drive is /sda | 01:01 |

| hitsujiTMO | brokendrive: >1tb that is | 01:02 |
| brokendrive | i was hoping to go something like this ddrescue -r=1 -n -S -v /dev/sdb /dev/sda1/newfile/oldharddrive.img recovery.log | 01:02 |

| zacarias | Hi. I have a hard drive with Mac OS and Ubuntu installed. I reduced the sive of the Mac OS partition to save space for increasing the size of the Ubuntu partition. Now, I have 9 GB of free space just after the Mac OS partition, but after that I have a 1 MB partition with the bios_grub, and then the ext4 partition with Ubuntu. I'm affraid of moving the tiniy bios_grub partition. How should I do it (without having to install all again)? | 01:13 |

| brokendrive | HITSUJITNO > is there a way to turn on journaling or could I get a second external drive above 1 tb and clone the image that way I avoid trying to write to the macs good hard drive? | 01:16 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: four hdds + one ssd! | 01:16 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: thanks for the suggestion, but it's quite pricy! :) | 01:16 |
| Beldar | Siebjee, a usb is the same as a HD in formatting, take you pick here. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=format+USB | 01:16 |
| krabador | how can i let an user run an installed software, and another user not ? | 01:17 |
| Burrito | quem, I see | 01:18 |
| Burrito | krabador, I know very little about permissions, but I guess you are looking for group permissions. | 01:19 |
| victor__ | Create a group: "allowed". Then add users into that group. Next run chgrp on the applications (to "allowed"). And finally, chmod to allow only root and "allowed" to execute. | 01:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | quem any preference on form factor? | 01:20 |
| hdrealfan | guyz , i'm on eOS luna , and i have Intel hd4000 graphics , do i need to install additional driver or not | 01:20 |
| krabador | Burrito, i thinked about the creation of a group, and don't add an user, but i don't know how to set the group | 01:20 |
| gordonjcp | !eos | 01:20 |
| krabador | victor__, tell me more | 01:21 |
| gordonjcp | !elementary | hdrealfan | 01:21 |
| ubottu | hdrealfan: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. | 01:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | quem. hmm thats 1 too many drives for any mobos with onboard processors :( | 01:21 |
| Burrito | zacarias, if I were you (and if you can make another partition on that drive), I would make a 9GB partition in that free space before the grub partition, and mount something like /usr/bin on there. Or any folder that would take up roughly 9GB eventually. A more permanent and elegant solution would be to just move the grub partition and deal with what comes. | 01:21 |
| Burrito | if you can call it 'elegant'. | 01:21 |
| Guest45566 | hello :) I am using Ubuntu 13.10 and need a program that will allow me to record what I am doing on the computer, and audio at the same time when I need it. Is there a program that will do such a thing? | 01:21 |
| Draton | hi everyone, back again - so i copied over my windows partition with dd, hopped on windows and removed the ubuntu parts from the copy, but now i'm trying to get windows to identify the new copies as its boot sectors (still booting off of the original drive) | 01:21 |
| Draton | any ideas? | 01:21 |
| hdrealfan | ok thanks gordonjcp | 01:22 |
| brokendrive | HITSUJITMO > when I do a #fdisk -l it shows the drives as a GPT system not HFS does that change things? I wonder if I can test write a file to the macs /dev/sda to see if its writable? | 01:22 |
| krabador | victor__, and if i installed a sofwarem and i create the group, users without permission will look sotware's icons in menus ? | 01:23 |
| spearhead | krabador: if you only want one use to be able to run it set the owner of the file to that user and set the permissions using chmod 700 path_to_file/name _ of _ file | 01:23 |
| victor__ | krabador "groupadd allowed" | 01:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | brokendrive: gpt is the partition table. hfs is a partition type. different things | 01:23 |
| Beldar | Draton, You dd'd the windows boot partition? | 01:23 |
| spearhead | krabador: that will allow only that user and root to read write or execute that file. | 01:24 |
| Draton | Beldar: I dd'd the whole disk to prevent issues, did a update-grub | 01:24 |
| Draton | Beldar: then booted off of the 'sddb (thew windows ssd) | 01:25 |
| victor__ | krabador next, add users into group: sudo usermod -a -G allowed user_a | 01:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | brokendrive: you can disable the journal in osx and reenable it after. but you be better off to install the mac port of ddrescue | 01:25 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: damn, that hadn't occurred to me at all. guess asus c8hm70-i/hdmi is off the menu too then. :/ | 01:25 |
| Beldar | Draton, Then removed the ubuntu, cause it's on the original ssd, which ubuntu got the update grub? | 01:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | quem: this is prob what id go for http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H87%20Pro4/ | 01:25 |
| brokendrive | HITSUJITMO> I was hoping to do this in the forensics linux distro to use some of the utils on the image if i have to to recover wedding photos... i guess i could come back to the linux once the image is made on the mac | 01:26 |
| Draton | Beldar: I want ubuntu (primary) on the original ssd, removed ubuntu from sdb (the new windows only drive) but windows is showing it's booting of of sda still - i'm afraid that if i remove windows from sda it will put me in a bad state | 01:26 |
| victor__ | krabador then, change the applications permissions... say, firefox. sudo chgrp allowed /usr/bin/firefox | 01:26 |
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| Beldar | Draton, Having two identical windows, is a problem, did you make an image as I suggested? | 01:27 |
| krabador | victor__, and this last, let only allowed members to run /usr/bin/firefox ? | 01:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | quem: or if you want something a little cheaper http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4729#ov | 01:29 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: ah, looks good. but i suppose it wouldn't fit in a mini-itx case? | 01:29 |
| === kruxoman_ is now known as kruxoman | ||
| hitsujiTMO | quem: ahh so m-itx cool | 01:29 |
| Beldar | Draton, Do you have a recovery or install disc for windows, if it were mr I would setup the new ssd's mbr to boot just windows, check that it boots and then remove the original. | 01:30 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: good thing i didn't order anything yet.. i've done many uninformed dumbass purchases lately and i'm getting tired of it. :P haven't been following the developments in hardware in nearly a decade and gotten by with crappy laptops instead of assembling anything myself. | 01:30 |
| Beldar | me* | 01:30 |
| victor__ | krabador finally, the permission itself: sudo chmod 774 /usr/bin/firefox | 01:30 |
| victor__ | krabador i guess this will do.... 774: owner can do everything... group too, others just read. | 01:31 |
| Draton | Beldar: at this point i just dd'd and updated grub, i don't have a repair disk | 01:32 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: what do you think of the ASRock E350M1? | 01:32 |
| rww | should be 775 if you want them to also execute it | 01:32 |
| killerbart10 | i going to try and install ubuntu AGAIN | 01:32 |
| rww | oh, nvm | 01:32 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: never mind.. it's 4 SATA + 1 E-SATA. | 01:32 |
| Fay | ahlafalllllol | 01:32 |
| victor__ | rww but he said he would like to prevent other users from executing... i guess it should be 4 | 01:32 |
| Draton | Beldar: going to try something one sec | 01:33 |
| Beldar | Draton, Heh, your totally unprepared like most users, usually it is mistakes here that are a good dope slap needed. You can boot into a windows right? | 01:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | quem: you're willing to drop to 3 hdds? | 01:33 |
| quem | hehe, not quite. | 01:33 |
| krabador | victor, ok | 01:33 |
| quem | but one, sure.. 1 SSD + 3 HDD. | 01:34 |
| Draton | Beldar: I think the issue is the new drive doesn't have an MBR | 01:34 |
| Draton | Beldar: so windows isn't identifying it as a system drive | 01:34 |
| Beldar | Draton, Right and a recovery disc made in a windows will fix this. | 01:35 |
| Draton | Beldar: I can boot into a windows recovery partition, trying to restore the mbr now | 01:35 |
| Beldar | Draton, right in the sense we can load the bcd boot to the mbr and see if it boots, nothing to do with it being seen however. | 01:36 |
| damarusama | I only have the iw commande - can I use that to connect my wireless adapter to my unsecured network? | 01:36 |
| Beldar | Draton, Dude, you are picking at it and may end up with a broken setup. Can you boot to windows and make the tiny recovery disc? | 01:37 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: maybe i could run the OS off a 16 or 32 GB USB memory. :) | 01:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | quem: yup looks pretty sweet. what price are you getting for it? | 01:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | quem: lol, thats not a bad idea :P | 01:38 |
| quem | heh | 01:38 |
| Draton | Beldar: so everything i'm doing is to the new drive | 01:38 |
| quem | 537 SEK, 82 USD, is the best option in Sweden. | 01:38 |
| Draton | Beldar so worst case i can restore from the old | 01:39 |
| quem | hitsujiTMO: it's a hell lot cheaper than an SSD anyhow, heh | 01:39 |
| Beldar | Draton, We are not even close to actually communicating, I can't really help without that. | 01:39 |
| Draton | Beldar: I don't what you mean? I'm currently on the restore partition of the original drive (sda). I'm using it, in essence, as a restore cd to restore the windows mbr on the new drive (sdb) | 01:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | quem: yeah not gonna find something much cheaper than that | 01:40 |
| kkkkkkkkkkk | hi, all i am using ubuntu 12.04 64 bit and kernel 3.8.0.29 but it is freezing randomly, most of times, when chrome open, it happens everytime i login and do browsing, for example say after 30-40 minutes, alt+ctrl+delete not working, alt+ctrl+f2 not working, only things that works for me, alt+prtsys+REISUB, I don't want to lose my work and it is annoying, this thing was not present in 32 bit ubuntu and it was working quite good, with kernel 3.2.0.52 | 01:41 |

| Senexor | quick question deleted my .cache folder because it was 10gb large and now all thumbnails are gone why arent they regenerated? | 01:56 |
| gzimdahl | i am running xubuntu from a pendrive with persistence. I have installed gnome and unity but I do not see them as options when I logout and back in. Any ideas? | 01:56 |
| admbaum | I was trying so hard to fix my networking issue all by myselfins | 01:56 |
| Senexor | does anyone have any idea what i can do about that? | 01:57 |
| Beldar | james-, run firefox in the terminal and see what it shows | 01:57 |
| james- | Beldar, sorry what is the command? | 01:57 |
| Beldar | james-, firefox | 01:57 |
| james- | Beldar, got a problem, ill pastebin it hold on. | 01:58 |
| james- | Beldar, oh wait i can;t i dont have a browser, can i paste output here? | 01:58 |
| Beldar | james-, not more than about 2 lines | 01:59 |
| james- | Beldar, is there a way we can do a private message so i can show you? Its more than 2 lines and i have no access to pastebin | 01:59 |
| Beldar | !pastebinit | james- | 01:59 |
| ubottu | james-: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 01:59 |

| Beldar | james-, Now run firefox| pastebinit let it go to the error and is stopped and it will give you a pastebin address | 02:03 |
| Senexor | nobody an idea where the error is located? | 02:03 |
| james- | Beldar, permission denied you are trying to send an empty document, exiting | 02:04 |
| Beldar | james-, This is not really an area over all I expect I can help you fix. | 02:04 |
| Draton | james-: are all apps not opening? | 02:05 |
| james- | Draton, seems to be only firefox and thunderbird | 02:06 |
| Draton | hmm ok, any relevant logs that you can see? you could do a "ls /var/log/ | pastebinit" (without quotes of course) | 02:07 |
| Draton | hopefully they are doing standard logging | 02:07 |
| james- | Draton, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6694520/ | 02:07 |
| Draton | hmm, looks pretty standard, looking to see if we have to pass some commandline param to force some debug level | 02:09 |
| james- | Draton, there was one other program that gave me a hard time, I tried installing istanbul desktop recorder and it installed but failed to start as well. Did the same thing firefox and thunderbird are doing now. I deleted it. | 02:10 |
| Draton | james-: completely random, doubt it will work but: try typing firefox -private | 02:11 |

| raub | Draton: does firefox log to syslog? | 02:12 |
| Draton | raub: i was hoping, i think there's a commandline param for it | 02:12 |
| sideup66 | sudo, your essentially commanding the computer to make you a sandwich | 02:12 |
| james- | Draton, sudo firefox worked. | 02:12 |
| Draton | and firefox opened? | 02:12 |
| james- | Draton, yes | 02:12 |
| Draton | james-: did you do sudo firefox? or sudo firefox -private? | 02:13 |
| james- | Draton, I tried sudo firefox and it worked. | 02:13 |
| Draton | ok sooo | 02:13 |
| Draton | one of two things: | 02:13 |
| Draton | corrupt firefox profile | 02:13 |
| Draton | or | 02:13 |
| Draton | permissions issue on firefox | 02:13 |
| raub | Draton: -jsconsole perhaps? | 02:13 |
| james- | Draton, sudo thunderbird works as well. I just can't select the icons | 02:14 |
| Draton | james-: how did you install them? | 02:14 |
| Draton | raub: I think jsconsole is depreciated | 02:15 |
| james- | Draton, firefox was installed with Ubuntu | 02:15 |
| spearhead | Draton: would a dpkg --reconfigure do anything in this case? | 02:15 |
| raub | Draton: I almost want to ask him to run id | 02:16 |
| Stormer97 | okay, so I just finished updating mesa and some other video drivers, and now all DEs are getting some amount of artifacting, and my DE of choice, Cinnamon, even with software rendering, has artifacting so server it is totally unusable. Also, my wifi totally stopped working, and make can no long compile my wifi driver, even though it worked 2 hours ago. | 02:16 |
| Draton | spearhead: maybe, but it seems that this is a shear permissions issue, strange for a standard install no? | 02:16 |
| Draton | james-: no updating since then? | 02:16 |

| Beldar | Stormer97, updating mesa with? | 02:17 |
| spearhead | Draton: yeah unless that package he installed messed with it... | 02:17 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, any ppa's involved here? | 02:17 |
| Stormer97 | apt-get dist-upgrade after adding a video driver PPA suggested by steam | 02:17 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, what about the mesa, is it out of the ubuntu repos? | 02:18 |
| Stormer97 | I beleive I installed mesa from apt, I did not specify a repo | 02:18 |
| Draton | spearhead: which program? might have missed it | 02:18 |
| james- | Draton, I did do an update but wasn't experiencing an error at the time. The first version of firefox installed with ubuntu 13.10, when I experienced the error and couldnt get it to work I installed the next one from the software manager. Do you think the update could have done it? Is there a way to go back before the update to see if it makes a difference? | 02:18 |
| Stormer97 | also, this is 12.04, if it matters | 02:19 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, and mesa was for what de? and what de's do you have, they genrally have different window managers. | 02:19 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, Then cinnamon is a ppa as well. | 02:20 |
| Stormer97 | aye, cinnamon is a ppa | 02:20 |
| Beldar | !ppa | Stormer97 | 02:20 |
| ubottu | Stormer97: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| spearhead | Draton: he said he tried installing Istanbul desktop recorder and it installed but wouldn't open. | 02:20 |
| Stormer97 | the problem started immediately after updaing from the steam video ppa | 02:20 |
| Stormer97 | is there a way I can uninstall everyting from it? | 02:21 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, sure but with a handful of ppa's not supported here, kinda hard to really get to the gist. | 02:21 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, The bots ppa info mentions ppa-purge | 02:21 |
| Beldar | !ppa-purge | Stormer97 | 02:22 |
| ubottu | Stormer97: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:22 |
| Stormer97 | not sure which PPA it was | 02:22 |
| Draton | james-: you said it was only the 3 programs, the new one you installed, firefox and thunderbird? | 02:22 |
| Stormer97 | what is the command to list all PPAs? | 02:22 |
| Stormer97 | actually, is there a way to remove all non-stock PPAs? | 02:23 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, ppa-purge is how you do it. | 02:23 |
| Beldar | each one individually | 02:24 |
| james- | Draton, yes only the 3. When I installed istanbul desktop recorder it wouldnt open, I deleted it. Firefox stopped working, tried to restart and it failed. I deleted it and reinstalled it still had the same problem. Thunderbird I left alone. Is it possible the update I did or istanbul somehow corrupted firefox and thunderbird? | 02:24 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, Stock and ppa don't go together, ppa's are 3rd parties is all. | 02:24 |
| Stormer97 | ah | 02:24 |
| Stormer97 | I ran sudo ppa=purge * | 02:25 |
| spearhead | james-: could you run ls -la /usr/lib/firefox | pastebinit | 02:25 |
| Beldar | Stormer97, Some quite usable, just have to be careful. read the bots info on ppa-purge | 02:25 |
| james- | spearhead, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6694599/ | 02:26 |
| Stormer97 | you know what, this is a new install, ima just say fuck it and install ubuntu 13, and start from scratch | 02:26 |
| Gallomimia | looking for some ppa's? run: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 02:26 |
| Gallomimia | why remove ppa's? why not remove the packages you installed from them instead? | 02:27 |

| Beldar | do* | 02:31 |

| Beldar | smil3y, gdisk I believe for osx, just a guess | 02:36 |
| Gallomimia | smil3y: double check the disk isn't encrypted, tho i think it only does that on user home's | 02:36 |
| Gallomimia | i have put my HFS+ disks into my ubuntu machine and used them with no issue :/ | 02:36 |
| smil3y | gallomimia> yea he says he doesnt think its encrypted, ill give it a try, thanks | 02:37 |
| Gallomimia | holy crap that disk is still HFS+ ?? i can w/r to it no problems... | 02:37 |
| james- | Draton, spearhead this thing is whacked. I randomly clicked them and they worked I have no idea why. | 02:38 |
| Draton | hmm | 02:38 |
| Gallomimia | james-: how many times have you rebooted recently? | 02:38 |
| Beldar | james-, You might run a memory check from the live boot. | 02:38 |
| james- | Gallomimia, only once. I rebooted after I first had the problem and when firefox still didnt work i uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the software manager and still had the issue. | 02:39 |
| Gallomimia | yup. pretty whack | 02:39 |
| spearhead | Maybe because firefox is smart and it fixed the problem itself when you ran it with sudo... we can hope. Maybe. Naw probably not... | 02:39 |
| Beldar | james-, You would have to purge FF to get it all off the OS | 02:39 |

| james- | Beldar, ok purge complete, apt-get install firefox is running now. Should I do the same with thunderbird? | 02:43 |
| james- | Beldar, install complete FF seems to work fine | 02:44 |

| james- | Beldar, ok ill leave it alone for now. I am really stumped as to what could have caused the issue, very strange. I was searching for a desktop recording program at the same time as doing the update i wish i knew what could have done it. I want to continue searching for a recording program but im kind of afraid now | 02:48 |
| spearhead | james-: have you tried audacity? | 02:49 |
| james- | spearhead, no not yet | 02:49 |
| Beldar | james-, Heh now you know the purge I use it regularly on removing stuff. | 02:50 |
| connor__ | hi does any one know hoe you install github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote-bindings it says use just run ./configure [--prefix=/usr] but where? | 02:51 |
| james- | Beldar, thank you very much im adding a few of these commands to my notes | 02:51 |
| Draton | james-: i'm guessing it might have been a corrupted profile | 02:51 |
| Beldar | Draton, My thought as well. | 02:51 |
| Draton | the sudo would have forced to a new user root, with a new profile | 02:52 |
| laura-_ | Crazy question: Is it possible to change the charset of the /boot/efi partition? | 02:52 |
| spearhead | james-: depending on what you want to use it for it is good for recording, playback and some editing. Website at http://audacity.sourceforge.net and it is in the repositories if you want to install it. | 02:52 |
| laura-_ | I think I'm getting burned because my /boot/efi partition is iso8859-1, and it doesn't look like Ubuntu 13.10 supports that combo | 02:53 |
| Draton | So Beldar: i have a recovery disk (assuming this worked)... if i understand you: 1. unplug original ssd 2. boot into recovery and restore mbr on new ssd, 3. replugin old ssd, 4. update grub and boot into new ssd, confirm everything is happy, 5. remove old windows | 02:54 |
| james- | spearhead, i just want it for recording desktop. If I am doing something and I want to record it, maybe some audio sometimes. I am taking computer science in college and could use such a program to do presentations for class projects. I am taking Linux next semester and could really use such a program. | 02:54 |
| Ziber | Can I get my terminal to show user@remotehost when I SSH? | 02:54 |
| Draton | Beldar: I assume the unplugging is to prevent the mbr restore from nuking grub? | 02:55 |
| Draton | ziber: yes you can | 02:55 |
| Draton | ziber: google .bash_rc and .bash_profile | 02:56 |
| Beldar | Draton, Basically you have identical windows, and yeah we just want the windows bootloader in that new ssd, so if it boots you know you can remove the windows from the original. | 02:56 |
| spearhead | james-: Ok well audacity is just for audio... I used a desktop recorder before... I will try and find it again... | 02:56 |
| connor__ | hi does any one know hoe you install github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote-bindings it says use just run ./configure [--prefix=/usr] but where? | 02:56 |

| spearhead | james-: I can't remember which one I have used before but out of the ones in Ubuntu Software Center two look good, RecordMyDesktop and Kazam. I just installed both of them and they both seem to record well and both have the option to select the area to record. They both have good reviews so I would say try them both out and see which one you like better. One thing I will say is that Kazam saves the video in mp4 which is nice, Reco | 03:22 |
| Aprel | hitsujiTMO: oops, you're right there. Now let me try the echo syntax in my more complicated script.... | 03:22 |
| james- | spearhead, What is mp4? | 03:23 |
| james- | spearhead, and thank you I will install both now | 03:23 |
| laura-_ | hitsujiTMO: Formatted my EMI partition. Running Boot-Repair just to see what it does. I feel sick :( | 03:23 |
| rcmaehl_mibbit | what | 03:23 |
| rcmaehl_mibbit | If I wanted to copy the image of a cd directly to a flash drive it'd be 'sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/flashdrive' right? | 03:23 |
| spearhead | james-: mp4 is fairly standard in video, practically anything will play mp4. | 03:24 |
| justno | Hi guys, I'm a fair noob with linux, i have a netbook i was running ubuntu on and everything was fine, then i tried lubuntu and cant seem to get the sd card to mount | 03:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | spearhead: mp4 is a container not a format. it can contain any number of codecs so don't rely on the extension to determine compatability | 03:25 |
| mjmac85_ | Hello! I'm confused on how to setup permissions for a folder. I will be adding a lot of files and do not want to have to do chmod every time I create a new file in the folder. How can I set it up so that these new files inherit the permission on the parent directory? | 03:25 |
| spearhead | james-: it is a file type, kind of like the difference between mp3 and wav audio files. | 03:25 |
| Aprel | hitsujiTMO: Okay, now trying in my other script: addopts="--keep-foreign-metadata" and on a later line: flac `echo $addopts` -ds -o /tmp/flacBack.wav "$flacName" gives an error line 12: [: --keep-foreign-metadata: integer expression expected | 03:26 |
| james- | spearhead, I see. Cool I am checking them out now, they seem to work awesome! | 03:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | spearhead: nope. wav and mp3 are codecs. mp4 is a container | 03:26 |
| spearhead | hitsujiTMO: that is true but if it is contained in a mp4 it pretty much always has the same codec... at least in my experience. | 03:27 |
| james- | spearhead, where does kazam save files? | 03:27 |
| spearhead | hitsujiTMO: it is usually m4v codec | 03:28 |
| spearhead | james-: it saved it in my Videos folder. | 03:29 |
| Ziber | What does "client denied by server configuration" mean when getting a 403 error on an apache server under 13.10 mean? | 03:29 |
| james- | spearhead, trying to figure out how to stop kazam lol | 03:29 |
| Aprel | rcmaehl_mibbit: that might work. But some OSes might fail to mount it because will likely be ISO/UDF, not FAT or NTFS, which it is expecting on a flash drive. | 03:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | spearhead: if your using a simgle app to write mp4s then it will most certainly use the same codec each time, but i download all sorts of mp4s and they're always a huge variety of codecs in them, h264, x264, mp3, aac, ac3, xvid, divx, mpeg2 ... the list goes on | 03:30 |
| jarno | mp4 is a codec mkv is a container imho | 03:31 |
| Aprel | rcmaehl_mibbit: Are you trying to take a bootable image like one of the ubuntu isos and copy to flash drive to boot form it? | 03:31 |
| spearhead | james-: when the Kazam window has focus in the bar at the top of the screen click File > Quit or hit Ctrl+q | 03:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | Aprel: that should be: flac "$addopts" -ds -o /tmp/flacBack.wav "$flacName" in the least | 03:32 |
| rcmaehl_mibbit | Aprel: I had an iso a while back that a burned to a cd, now I need it on the flash drive because I'm working on a netbook but i only have the cd now | 03:32 |
| Aprel | jarno: :) mkv is amazing. I wish there was as much support for it as mp4 | 03:32 |

| Beldar | Draton, cool. | 03:33 |
| james- | spearhead, thank you | 03:34 |
| Aprel | rcmaehl_mibbit: the easiest way would be to mount the CD and then copy all the files over to the flash. Using dd may still work. I'd be interested if it did. | 03:34 |
| Draton | Beldar: ok so failed to boot, going to use the recovery to try to repair, guessing it doesn't like the hardware change | 03:34 |
| Draton | Beldar: hit the mbr though | 03:34 |
| spearhead | jarno: I think it is both a container and a codec because I know you can have an mp4 file type which is not encoded as mp4 (or m4v as the video one is called I think) the confusion comes since mp4 files are used for video, video and audio, or just audio... | 03:35 |
| Beldar | Draton, Lets run the bootscript from a live cd, or you can from ubuntu a live cd would keep it cleaner though. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 03:35 |

| Guest76162 | Hi, i've got a challenging problem. While installing/updating the new ubuntu 13.10, I was installing my nvidia drivers and some OsX skins with general updates, etc... and after a required reboot, the screen goes through the paces like the purple background with the Ubuntu logo and the five dots, then goes completely black. The mouse only activates after i wiggle it, and i get a white X (the mac curser, if i recall) and that's it. no keystrokes do | 03:40 |
| Guest76162 | anything, no mouse clicks do anything... both screens are activated, the laptop main and the 32" secondary... but nothing else happens. This is the same computer, am on a live-boot now... so showing error screens may be a little bit of a challenge. Ideas? anyone? | 03:40 |
| vl4kn0 | Hi, I have problem with ath9k driver. It's got very weak transmission power compared to windows 7. Is there any way to fix this? | 03:41 |
| Beldar | Guest76162, You can from the tty change the nvidia..etc, or maybe try a nomodeset boot to get to the desktop | 03:42 |
| Draton | Beldar: i'm getting a 'the requested system device cannot be found" part of the 'reboot multiple times stuff? | 03:42 |
| Guest76162 | how would I go about that?, Beldar? | 03:43 |
| Beldar | Draton, Hmm, not sure what that means, if it were me I would want windows to boot up and just go, maybe an image of the original to load might be better. | 03:44 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset | Guest76162 | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Guest76162: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:44 |
| Beldar | Draton, I assume there is a boot partition, it would have a boot flag on it (active) the bootscript would give us a lot more info if you want to still work on this load. | 03:45 |

| Beldar | Guest76162, "I was installing my nvidia drivers and some OsX skins with general updates, etc." is changing the OS in a manner that can cause this and a reboot will show the actual nvidia changes. | 03:47 |

| pgnome | I think it's a bug with google since they won't fix the conflict with libglu.so.1? | 04:23 |
| Beldar | pgnome, sure, I believe though that the latest from google will not run always, did you look around for google earth on ubuntu and the release you are running. | 04:23 |
| Guest32007 | pvl1, how do i switch between different managers? | 04:23 |

| lotuspsychje | morning to all | 04:25 |
| Beldar | pgnome, Your using 14.04 as well so not really relevant on this channel. | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | Guest32007 first pick and install one | 04:25 |
| schultza | Guest32007: First, you will need to make sure the others are installed. Then on the login screen, there is a button you can click to mark another GUI for use on login. | 04:25 |
| Beldar | lotuspsychje, mourning, ;) | 04:25 |
| Beldar | hehe | 04:25 |
| lotuspsychje | Beldar: hello mate :p | 04:26 |
| pgnome | why does it matter? | 04:26 |
| Guest32007 | schultza, awesome, so i can switch between what manager i want to use without having to install a whole new os? that sounds fantastic how do i get them? | 04:26 |
| Beldar | pgnome, Just a development is dealt with on #ubuntu+1 is all. | 04:26 |
| pgnome | it's giving the same error msg that it has since 12.04 | 04:26 |
| Beldar | pgnome, Many if us are on both channels | 04:27 |
| schultza | Install them. For example, for kde. "sudo apt-get install kde-desktop" or something like that. I don't do this often, others will offer better help. | 04:28 |
| pvl1 | Guest32007: if you want, private message me ill be here a while | 04:29 |

| Geo | Hi, does anyone have any thoughts regarding using a Blue/Green WD HDD with mdadm in a RAID 5 configuration? I've seen arguments both for and against it, due to lacking TLER. | 04:29 |
| Geo | I've determined its not an issue on RAID0/1 setups, but can't figure out for sure on RAID 5 | 04:29 |
| pvl1 | Geo: blue is not recommended for raid | 04:29 |
| Geo | none of them are, because of TLER | 04:30 |
| Geo | but thats not necessarily true | 04:30 |
| Geo | which leads me back to the question | 04:30 |
| pvl1 | Geo: you should ask in #hardware | 04:31 |
| Geo | thanks | 04:32 |
| pvl1 | no problem Geo, sorry. but theyd help much more than i could for sure :) | 04:32 |

| AiA | i just did that myself, but now it seems I cannot play minecraft:D | 05:30 |
| robierob | you got minecraft working on ubuntu? | 05:30 |
| Scott_S | If we're talking about installing Nvidia/AMD drivers, installing via apt-get doesn't require you to shut down x. | 05:30 |
| Scott_S | Also, use openjdk-7-jre instead of openjdk-6-jre. | 05:30 |

| isyah | pvl1: xangua :E: Unable to locate package fribidi | 05:30 |

| AiA | you download it of the site, and double click the minercaft.jar | 05:31 |

| maxh76 | 'sudo apt-get get update' thenn 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-319*' yes to the prompts. You might want to uninstall nvidia first. 'sudo apt-get uninstall nvidia-*' make sure you're in a TTY before that, and reinstall 'ubuntu-desktop' | 05:37 |
| pvl1 | AiA: what is the problem | 05:37 |
| lotuspsychje | !optimus | HeadlessDan | 05:38 |
| ubottu | HeadlessDan: The Bumblebee Project aims to support NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux. The Bumblebee website can be found at http://bumblebee-project.org/ | 05:38 |
| AiA | can I just download that, and install it like the other, or do I need to do something omnious to the driver? | 05:38 |
| maxh76 | Well, installing it from the Nvidia website isn't as good. | 05:38 |
| maxh76 | That's probably why it broke. | 05:38 |
| pvl1 | maxh76: why not | 05:38 |
| pvl1 | why wouldnt the manufacturers drivers be optimal | 05:38 |
| maxh76 | You need to install Ubuntu's nvidia drivers, that should be better. | 05:38 |
| maxh76 | Well, you don't need to. | 05:39 |
| robierob | AiA: whats the file location for minecraft in the file tree? | 05:39 |
| maxh76 | I've heard people installing from the manufacturer and it didn't work well. Ubuntu's nvidia drivers are open source and seem to work better as well | 05:39 |
| maxh76 | You can go into the additional drivers utility and activate the recommended nvidia drivers. 319, I believe. | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | headpunter: that link was for you mate | 05:40 |
| pvl1 | maxh76: no what youve heard is that compiling didnt work well. when you bite the bullet and go through the effort to actually install it, its better, bc it compiles for your system | 05:40 |
| maxh76 | pv11: oh, okay. So installing from ubuntu's repos for nvidia drivers doesn't compile? I'm a bit confused. | 05:40 |
| pvl1 | maxh76: the open source ones are just easier to install | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | maxh76: not exactly. the repos one is modified, after all its open source | 05:41 |
| maxh76 | pv11: Okay, so the one's from the manufacturer are better? | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | and the open source community, unless its willing to reverse engineer expensive gpu chips isnt able to develop the same driver that the manuf. can | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | yes. | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | they are definetly better | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | they are the ones that made the technology in the first place | 05:42 |
| headpunter | thanks lotuspsychje | 05:42 |
| pvl1 | thats why even when your on windows, you prefer the actual driver, over whatever windows supplies | 05:42 |
| maxh76 | Maybe I'll try installing those, wonder how much that would up my performance. Although I have a nvidia 204 card, so it's pretty old.. | 05:42 |
| maxh76 | Well, yea that's true. But ubuntu, linux in itself actually, is much different from the perspective. Some open-source drivers for some tools are better then the proprietary ones. | 05:43 |
| pvl1 | maxh76: the performance difference is usually for newer cards. | 05:43 |
| pvl1 | maxh76: i havent neccessarily seen it, but i wont disspute it. its just when it comes to things like gpu's, its the manufacturer thats best | 05:44 |

| maxh76 | I understand now, before I thought that the proprietary nvidia drivers were worse than ubuntu's ope source ones. | 05:45 |

| phutchins | anyone having issues install ruby2.0.0p247 on ubuntu 13.10 via rvm? | 05:45 |
| pvl1 | maxh76: whats up | 05:45 |
| Scott_S | Ubuntu uses a repository from Nvidia, the drivers are the same, the repository simply has drivers that are easier to install. They aren't guaranteed to be the latest. /info | 05:46 |
| pvl1 | Scott_S: does that mean that they compile upon installation | 05:46 |
| maxh76 | I get 'BUG: unable to handle kernel paging error at ff2b0022' | 05:47 |
| pvl1 | maxh76: while its installing? | 05:47 |
| phutchins | Getting 404's on doing the rvm install... | 05:47 |
| phutchins | The requested url does not exist(22): 'http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/./ruby-2.0.0p247.tar.bz2' | 05:47 |
| Scott_S | pvl1, Well, there are a few things it has to compile. You may have noticed it generates a boot image when it installs and uses the nouveau server for 3d acceleration. | 05:47 |
| maxh76 | pv11: After the install, it installs fine. But then when I turn it back on, that's what happens. | 05:47 |
| peyam | maxh76, bad made image. during instalation = Download again and make cd | 05:48 |
| pvl1 | Scott_S: is nvidia still the module? | 05:48 |
| maxh76 | Oh, okay. That seems like an easy solution. | 05:48 |
| Scott_S | pvl1, Let's go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:48 |
| maxh76 | What would I do if that doesn't work? | 05:48 |
| pvl1 | Scott_S: yes sure | 05:48 |

| Beldar | schone, a persistent has limitations | 06:03 |

| schone | Beldar: i can live with limitations... as long as i have some persistence | 06:04 |
| Beldar | schone, a casper-rw named partition will give you it. | 06:04 |
| schone | how can I create one for an already packaged ISO file? | 06:04 |
| spearhead | schone: if you create the usb startup disk in Ubuntu with Startup Disk Creator it has the option to create a persistance file using the remaining space on the usb drive | 06:04 |

| Beldar | schone, You can have one 1 gig partition for the iso, and a second that is the casper-rw, the persistent, however doing this in a apple I have no idea. | 06:06 |
| schone | Beldar: thats my problem... in apple | 06:06 |

| sina_t | Hey guys | 06:17 |
| varunendra | schone, to be honest, I'm not sure about that, but I can tell it would be more complex than it needs to be. Probably you'd have to create a rw duplicate of the filesystem (or keep it ready somewhere), then 'chroot' into it. But like I said, I'm not sure if it would work as expected. | 06:17 |

| Scroll_Tro0L | So once this is all setup, all the instructions I see are for gui version of ubuntu. Does the server version come with a desktop pre-installed or would I need to install it seperately? | 06:20 |

| schone | no | 06:22 |
| schone | its create a uefi boot | 06:23 |

| satellit_e | gksu imagewriter in mint 13 makes bootable USB sticks will it work with UEFI? | 06:27 |
| varunendra | schone, if you could get the advance boot menu somehow, it would have been fairly easy. But it seems you should also be able to add the "persistence" flag in the isolinux/txt.cfg file within the ISO. Maybe use "ISOmaster" to replace that file and see if it helps | 06:30 |

| hkr | I can install grub again after removing linux ? | 06:36 |
| pvl1 | hkr: thats the point | 06:36 |
| pvl1 | if you remove grub | 06:36 |

| varunendra | hkr, If using Windows Vista or higher, you can use EasyBCD program (in windows) to boot Ubuntu. But if it is a GPT based partition scheme, simply delete the Ubuntu partition and keep using Windows. Grub won't affect the booting in that case. | 06:39 |
| pvl1 | hkr: put it in another partition, or there might be a different bootloader you can load | 06:39 |

| varunendra | hkr, because it gets installed in PBR, not MBR (there is nothing like MBR at all in the GPT scheme) | 06:40 |

| pvl1 | thom_r: your home dir is split up by user names. its never /home/Documents by default, its /home/user/Documents which is probably /home/thom/Documents since you are in fact thom | 06:56 |
| pvl1 | thom_r: furthermore, learn to use tab completion in the terminal. write /home/ and hit tab twice | 06:56 |

| pvl1 | Angel_Of_Sorrow: why dont you just download it and burn it | 07:08 |
| pvl1 | or make a usb | 07:08 |
| PebkacJones | hai | 07:08 |
| rich | .lemme find the URL to their site, then you can check it out for yourself | 07:09 |
| pvl1 | !modules | 07:09 |
| ubottu | To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubottu blacklist | 07:09 |

| varunendra | roger_, which ones are not working? And what is the output of "lsmod | grep wmi" ? | 07:23 |

| thom_r | !flavors | 07:24 |
| ubottu | !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 07:24 |

| roger_ | i am too stone anyway | 07:25 |
| thom_r | rich, Lubuntu comes with LXDE by default. | 07:26 |
| rich | right, I get that, but are the internals of Lubuntu different that Ubuntu? | 07:26 |
| roger_ | sorry | 07:26 |
| Beldar | rich, look on the web for the intrinsic details they are just different desktops. | 07:27 |

| PublicStaticVoid | I switched to te open source AMD Driver crashed and burned.. restrted to black screen had to use nomodeset to get a tty | 08:57 |
| PublicStaticVoid | How can I switch back to the binary driver from CLI now? | 08:58 |
| PublicStaticVoid | I think it is because I am using a very new Video chipset | 08:58 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Sorry if anyone answered I missed it | 09:00 |
| ties | Hello. I just accidently deleted the entire /home/me/Documents. I tried recovery via a usb with extundelete but receive the error message "638 recoverable inodes found. Looking through the directory structure for deleted files ... 638 recoverable inodes still lost. No files were undeleted.". Any suggestions^ | 09:00 |
| llutz | ties: standard answer: recover from backup | 09:01 |
| knightshade | +1 | 09:02 |
| llutz | ties: you may try photorec or similar tools but if they will have more success.... | 09:02 |
| ties | tell llutz unfortunately I was in the process of eliminating unecessary files, and was just finished and about to copy them to a usb when I clicked "effacer" instead of "copier" | 09:02 |
| PublicStaticVoid | So for some reason when I switched from the binary AMD Driver to the Xorg open source driver I crashed and rebooted into a black screen. Had to use nomodeset kernel option just to get back to a tty | 09:03 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Could my chipset be to new for the open source driver? | 09:03 |
| llutz | ties: "clicked" so some GUI-acions? doesn't your gui has a trashbin to recover from? | 09:03 |
| PublicStaticVoid | also how can I switch back to the binary driver? | 09:03 |
| ties | llutz: well, I looked there, but it seems to me that they bypassed this folder and just "disappeared", kind of like with shift-del if I have understood correctly... If it helps, I am using xubuntu 12.04... | 09:05 |
| llutz | ties: shift-del removes files directly in most filemanagers afaik. so you're lost if you don't have a backup. i'd try photorec as a last resort | 09:06 |
| llutz | ties: and for the future you should think about some automatic backup-solutions. as you see, manual backups won't work | 09:07 |
| ties | llutz: ya.... I thought it would work out... but one wrong click and disaster strikes... darn.... | 09:08 |

| kubanc | aeon-ltd, i tries to updated graphic card drivers from Nvidia sitem but now i don't see desktop mode. I looked with command dpkg -l | grep nvidia what do i have installed and I can see that there is no package nvidia-current, only packages nvidia-common, nvidia-current-updates, nvidia-settings and nvidia-settings-updates. So I am assuming i need to reinstall drivers | 09:30 |
| Name141 | _polto_: I'm basically just using the machine as a backup now | 09:30 |
| Name141 | since I replaced XP with Ubuntu | 09:31 |

| kubanc | aeon-ltd, ok, the desktop is showing now... | 09:37 |
| kubanc | aeon-ltd, THNX for help | 09:37 |
| aeon-ltd | glambert: sda would do the whole drive | 09:37 |
| glambert | I know | 09:38 |
| glambert | I've got ubuntu and windows 8 dual booted and I want to back up the windows partitions | 09:38 |
| aeon-ltd | glambert: but partitions are designated sdax, i think that would work though i've rarely used dd | 09:38 |
| glambert | what's sdax? | 09:38 |
| aeon-ltd | glambert: are you sure something like clonezilla might be better? | 09:39 |
| glambert | plan is to back up everything windows into an image file and then resize ubuntu to fill disk | 09:39 |
| aeon-ltd | glambert: sda x as in a number e.g. sda1 | 09:39 |
| glambert | then I can either VM my windows partition or just keep it until I ever need to restore it | 09:39 |
| SaberX01 | glambert, as far as I know, dd has no knowledge of the file system itself, so if you wnated higher resolution on say backups or something, when you built your partitions, create lots more of them to start with. | 09:39 |
| glambert | aeon-ltd, ah, sorry | 09:39 |
| glambert | I'd prefer not to have to do anything with live disks or usbs | 09:41 |
| glambert | mainly because I have neither available atm :) | 09:41 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| aeon-ltd | dd is safest from live envronments | 09:41 |
| SaberX01 | glambert, what's the end goal, what you trying to do ? | 09:41 |
| aeon-ltd | using dd whilst booted could lead to unbootable copies | 09:42 |
| glambert | back up everything windows into an image and either VM it or keep it incase I need to restore windows in the future, for whatever reason | 09:42 |
| glambert | and then resize ubuntu to fill disk rather than half of it | 09:43 |
| glambert | which I will need a live disk for at that point | 09:43 |
| SaberX01 | glambert, for the Windows BU, you better off using the Full BU utils it provides, and restore that in the VM, should should work, thought I've not tried it. As for fullign the disk, LiveCD and gparted can do that. | 09:44 |
| glambert | windows has backup facilities? do they actually function? | 09:45 |
| SaberX01 | glambert, Well the ones I've used do .. I ran Vitsa64 for a long time and used the full BU/Restore on that .. worked pretty good. | 09:46 |
| nashant | someone please help. Chrome keeps causing such high iowait that my laptop becomes completely unresponsive. This is the syslog from the offending time period http://pastebin.com/ZNXZLfsP | 09:47 |
| glambert | hmm, OK, will look into it. Where does it store the backup files? | 09:47 |
| SaberX01 | glambert, Well, that's the issue for you on what your trying to do/. The best solution would be an external device of some sort, so you can re-size the partition without worrying about the Win partition. | 09:48 |
| glambert | I was hoping to do the backup from within ubuntu, then test it out by creating a VM for it and/or creating a new partition and putting the image on there, then if all OK, deleting the partition(s) | 09:49 |
| theGrg | Hi. When I installed Ubuntu I set it up with full disk encryption using the installer. Now I'm trying "vgscan" or "lvdisplay", but it says "No volume groups found". Why would this happen? I want to run "lvreduce" on the volume. | 09:50 |
| SaberX01 | glambert, the BU can be done from within Ubuntu / *Nix but having that BU actually boot In a VM .. don't think that can work but there may be some work around for it, I just don't know what it is. | 09:51 |
| glambert | SaberX01, ok thanks, will keep looking into it | 09:53 |
| theGrg | Even though a /dev/mapper/sda6_crypt exists here. | 09:53 |
| SaberX01 | glambert, my best suggestion would be BU your data files from the Win Install .. then expand Ubuntu to full disk, in VBox, do a fresh Win Install and copy your data files back in, then you'll always have a Working Windows VM you can easily BU / Transfer. | 09:54 |

| jgcampbell300 | does anyone here see a security problem with adding ssh keys to root accounts on all my local servers and desktops ... so i can ssh with out password from root account on any term on the network to any other term ? | 09:55 |
| PublicStaticVoid | I dunno if I need latest AMD Binary or wha | 09:57 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, yes and no .. depends on your ssh-server config .. and if you add passphrases to your keys. Not having a passphrase on a root account is a risk. | 09:57 |
| PublicStaticVoid | But I cant even use the open source driver | 09:57 |
| PublicStaticVoid | and the Binary in the repos is buggy | 09:57 |
| PublicStaticVoid | Like if I use Cinnamon is wrecks my system | 09:57 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, additionally, having ssh access to roo in itself is also a risk, one in shich I always disable on my servers. | 09:58 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01, so i problaby should do it to add more security but use a passphrase as well | 09:58 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01, ahh .. so how do you manage them ... ssh then sudo | 09:58 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, I do ssh-key for a normal user, then if I need sudo / root, I change manually or via a script if needed. | 09:58 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01, sounds good ... thanks | 09:59 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, Here's some good config tip info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring | 10:00 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01, cool thank you | 10:00 |
| jgcampbell300 | i cant rember how to turn off all the extra info "people leaveing entering in chat here" with xchat | 10:01 |
| kubanc | hellow! Any ideas why my fonts aren't smooth in ubuntu 12.10? | 10:01 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, `too biggest ones for config security, disable root login, and diable PW login .. but Make sure your keys, at least two fo them work first before disabling PW login. | 10:01 |
| PublicStaticVoid | whats the codename for 13.10? | 10:02 |
| PublicStaticVoid | saucy? | 10:02 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01, i was thinking i read something like that ... the PW tho im kina fuzzy on ... should i put key and pw or just remove pw and use key only | 10:02 |
| SaberX01 | Yes | 10:02 |
| thom_r | saucy salamander | 10:03 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, Until you have PW-Less login working, e.g. via SSH-Keys, do not disable PW login. | 10:03 |
| thom_r | 14.04 is Trusty Tahr | 10:03 |
| marcofardin | ciao | 10:04 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01, ahh ok gotcha ... sounds like a plan .. i am so sick of entering a password for every diffrent ssh i start | 10:04 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, Aslo, for you Key Passphrase, make that different that your user account PW, that's incase sombody somhow gets hold of your private key, unless they know the passphrase, wont work. | 10:04 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, Using a Key Passphrase is important, you only need to enter it once per session .. like when you boot up adn do the first Login after that is pass through. | 10:06 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, additionally, you can uses, if you choose, the same ssh-key for as many boxes as you wish, or if your really paranoid, make a new one for each server .. lol .. | 10:08 |
| PublicStaticVoid | I need to backup my Xorg.cong but its not where I am used to it being... | 10:11 |

| PublicStaticVoid | Used to be in /etc/x11 | 10:11 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01, lol that sounds like something i would have done in past ... one for each box ... i am thinking more of one per location for now | 10:13 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01, or im sure i could make some kind of small script to create and upload to my storage server | 10:14 |

| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, I have seperate keys for some things, like my Launchpad account, and the the EU data center, or JA datacenter, then I have one grandmaster key, that I keep both priv + pub keys locked up, that is on every thing I access via sorta like a Sudo Super Key only for emergencies. | 10:16 |
| SaberX01 | *via ssh | 10:16 |
| SaberX01 | jgcampbell300, and they two keys are offline encrypted, so if anyone does get hold of them, good luck busing the key :-) | 10:17 |

| ubottu | Zalungi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:51 |
| Heymans341 | I turn the commputer on, there's a first screen with hard disks etc, then it says launching OS and then nothing, although the machine keeps on going. | 10:51 |
| Romance | !livecd | Zalungi | 10:51 |
| ubottu | Zalungi: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 10:51 |
| acgn | Heymans341: It didn't enter grub? | 10:52 |

| Heymans341 | I'm sorry I don'know what that means | 10:53 |
| Romance | !server | Zalungi | 10:53 |
| ubottu | Zalungi: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications.

| hitsujiTMO | Heymans341: seems ubuntu may be failing right at the start with such a shord dmesg | 11:22 |
| jgcampbell300 | SaberX01: i here that ... | 11:22 |

| acgn | bekks: Thanks- - | 11:22 |
| Heymans341 | hitsuji yes I think so too. maybe it's a motherboard problem? | 11:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | Heymans341: hard to tell what it is with no logs | 11:23 |
| SaberX01 | Just share the NIC port on the Ubuntu machine .. but that's not not going to enable file sharing, need Samba for that or SSHFS | 11:23 |
| Heymans341 | I am running the test version maybe that's why? | 11:23 |

| Sammael | Hello all, I would like to setup a cluster for file sharing over multiple servers. The idea is to start with 2 servers and increase the amount in the future. Is MAAS a good idea for this? The main issue I fear is bandwith there each server will have 200mbps and I would like to use that to the best which is possible. | 11:43 |

| === Guest90551 is now known as MadBoy79983 | ||

| bekks | bhavesh: if you connect his drive as sdba, install grub and your friend doesnt need to do anything. | 11:48 |
| SaberX01 | bhavesh, Install windows first, then, Ubuntu, then give the LiveCD / Install disk to your friend, have him reinstall Ubuntu hen he gets home, overwritign the first install. | 11:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | bhavesh: he'll prob need to reinstall both ubuntu and windows. What kind of hardware do you have? and what kind of hardware does he have? | 11:48 |
| SaberX01 | what he said ^^ I doubt the Win install will work .. maybe even BSOD on him. | 11:49 |
| x__ | hi all | 11:49 |
| bhavesh | hitsujiTMO: I have an AMD processor with 4GB RAM, he has an Intel P4 with 2GB RAM | 11:49 |
| bekks | bhavesh: Then he will experience issues with windows. | 11:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | bhavesh: lots of issues | 11:50 |
| bekks | bhavesh: And did you install 32 or 64bit Ubuntu? | 11:50 |
| SaberX01 | He's better off just doing the installs himself rather than re-doin them both when he gets home. | 11:50 |
| bhavesh | bekks: I am going to install 32bit | 11:50 |
| bhavesh | okay, thank you. | 11:50 |

| cristian_c | Hi | 12:22 |
| cristian_c | I've tried bustle-dbus-monitor and bustle | 12:22 |
| cristian_c | In the various tests I've done, I have not seen activity about mouse and keyboard connected | 12:23 |
| cristian_c | devices work but are not announced in bustle | 12:23 |
| cristian_c | at the same time, the only information shown by bustle are those related to applications | 12:23 |
| cristian_c | may be bustle is not the right program to detect the activity of the devices? | 12:29 |
| cristian_c | and if so, what is the right program to monitor this activity? | 12:29 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 12:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: what exactly do you want to record? whats the end goal? | 12:32 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, I was told to check if the keyboard is announced correctly on dbus | 12:34 |
| MonkeyDust | "announced correctly"? | 12:34 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, the keyboard battery is not detected by upower -d or upower -e | 12:34 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, I was told so | 12:35 |
| cristian_c | :( | 12:35 |
| shaun__ | any reason why df -h wouldnt work , i type df -h as root and it acts like its going to output something but never does | 12:35 |
| cristian_c | MonkeyDust, , I was told so | 12:35 |
| phteven | hello. I woke up this morning and my hdmi cable isn't recognized. it was working fine when I went to bed last night. what can I do to diagnose the problem and get it working again? | 12:35 |
| bekks | shaun__: IO error, stale mount lock, incredible number of inodes, etc. | 12:36 |
| bekks | shaun__: check dmesg first | 12:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: told by who exactly? | 12:36 |
| cristian_c | MonkeyDust, hitsujiTMO , I've checked the permissions on the device, dmesg, syslog upower version and dbus with bustle | 12:36 |
| shaun__ | thanks bekks , ill google those | 12:36 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, gentoo users | 12:36 |
| shaun__ | dmesg looks ok btw | 12:37 |
| bekks | shaun__: Just type it into a terminal. | 12:37 |
| cristian_c | HisaoNakai, the have talked generally about dbus, not bustle in particular | 12:37 |
| cristian_c | I've looked for dbus monitor applications | 12:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: why would the system be able to see the battery level of a keyboard? | 12:37 |
| MonkeyDust | cristian_c gentoo users are ueber-geeks, they use solutions way over our heads | 12:38 |
| bekks | MonkeyDust: s/over our heads/somethings far from reality/ ;) Just my 2 cents. | 12:39 |
| ikonia | hitsujiTMO: I believe the expecation is set from some keyboard providers providing "connection" software for their wirless keyboard, which also feeds back battery status | 12:39 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: that's just a stupid thing to say | 12:39 |
| ikonia | please don't make up stuff like that and feed it to users, it's just nonsense | 12:39 |
| SaberX01 | Allot of KB's support that function and more in Win, especially the Logitec Gaming KB's. | 12:39 |
| ikonia | SaberX01: yes, via 3rd party propitary software | 12:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: so your end goal is to be able to see the power level of a keyboard's battery? | 12:40 |
| SaberX01 | Not seen allot of those work well in Linux though. | 12:40 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, yes, the keyboard has a led | 12:41 |
| cristian_c | for the battery | 12:41 |
| cristian_c | MonkeyDust, lol | 12:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: what is the make and model of the keyboard? | 12:41 |
| streulma | MonkeyDust I installed 13.10 today and it is fully working on Macbook Pro 5-2 :) | 12:42 |

| cfhowlett | !root | 12:45 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:45 |

| ikonia | cloudgeek: right, so you shouldn't be doing hat | 12:47 |
| bekks | cloudgeek: ouch. use sudo -i :) | 12:47 |
| ikonia | cloudgeek: you should be using your normal account and "sudo" | 12:47 |

| SaberX01 | cristian_c, hitsujiTMO WHile not specific to a Keyboard, this solar apt grabs the Batt level and displays it though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/248006/how-can-i-see-the-battery-status-of-my-logitech-wireless-mouse | 12:59 |
| kostkon | dn4, what's the cpu | 12:59 |
| dn4 | AMD Athalon | 12:59 |
| cloudgeek | ikonia: thanks | 12:59 |
| ikonia | dn4: that's not "proof" that's just you having a problem | 12:59 |
| dn4 | ikonia, yeah but why does my bios get changed | 13:00 |
| cristian_c | SaberX01, ok, I'll take a look, thanks | 13:00 |
| cristian_c | SaberX01, ok, but Solaar is only for logitech | 13:00 |
| cristian_c | :( | 13:00 |
| cristian_c | devices | 13:01 |
| cloudgeek | ikonia: let me try to login in it :) | 13:01 |
| SaberX01 | cristian_c, Well, that's too bad, as there is a PPA for it also. | 13:02 |
| dn4 | can udev go into the bios and change stuff? | 13:02 |
| ikonia | dn4: no | 13:02 |
| cloudgeek | ikonia: Thank you very much | 13:03 |
| dn4 | then why did my bios settings get changed followed by mod probe cpu lockup due to udev ? | 13:03 |
| zxd | in sort are there any config files for update-manager where does it save its settings? | 13:04 |
| cristian_c | SaberX01, ok | 13:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | dn4: what bios settings got changed exactly? typically an os cannot write to the bios settings | 13:04 |
| Allison43 | dn4, which bios settings get changed ? | 13:04 |
| zxd | gconf? | 13:04 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, or have I to try other applications to detect hardware with dbus? | 13:05 |
| cristian_c | :) | 13:05 |
| Allison43 | dn4, or are you changing the bios settings and forgetting to save them and blaming udev | 13:05 |
| dn4 | it was a video setting | 13:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | cristian_c: i'm not sure what bustle is tbh, so no idea | 13:05 |
| dn4 | and now my machine won't boot up regularly and I have to use the recovery mode | 13:06 |
| cristian_c | hitsujiTMO, ok | 13:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | dn4: what exact setting? video setting isn't exactly a bios setting | 13:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | dn4: what is your gpu? | 13:07 |
| dn4 | no gnu; old Asus a7v266 motherboard | 13:08 |
| dn4 | gpu | 13:08 |
| SaberX01 | cristian_c, what is the make and model of this thing your trying to get the batt level on? | 13:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | dn4: so its an onboard gpu. can you pastebin output of: lspci | 13:10 |
| dn4 | hitsujiTMO, I can do that in 24 hours possibly | 13:11 |
| dn4 | not at this exact moment | 13:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | dn4: kk | 13:11 |

| ashoksahoo | hello, what is the safe way to upgrade from windows 7 to 8 keeping ubuntu dual boot intact | 13:29 |
| james- | lotuspsychje, when I plug a flash drive into my machine it automatically mounts and shows on the unity bar. My partitions used to do the same but they don't now. | 13:29 |
| james- | lotuspsychje, ill check that one out thank you :) | 13:29 |
| lotuspsychje | !dualboot | ashoksahoo | 13:30 |

| cfhowlett | ashoksahoo, just assume that you're GOING To lose ubuntu and plan to reinstall. win8 is trashing ubuntu all by itself. I seriously doubt that upgrading from win7 to win8 will be any less damaging to ubuntu | 13:30 |
| Mohamd | Hello guys . i am having a big problem in installing Ubuntu ( i tried all different sorts of other Linux Distros) | 13:30 |
| merandus | I'm getting a ubuntu-based VPS, I'm still a beginner at linux, should i install 32bits or 64? any ideas? | 13:30 |
| fatjon | hi. i wan't to install the update from the "Software Updater" but it show me (Packege operation falied, The installation or removal of a software packege falied.) i have ubuntu 13.10 | 13:30 |
| ashoksahoo | I cant afford to lose anything | 13:30 |
| cfhowlett | ashoksahoo, then stay with win7 | 13:31 |
| bekks | ashoksahoo: Create backups. Unless your data is not worth to be kept. | 13:31 |
| SaberX01 | merandus, 64 | 13:31 |
| Mohamd | it seems the distro perfectly works live via the pendrive .. but when i start to install it says the ERno 5 : input and output error | 13:31 |
| Mohamd | what do you think i should do? | 13:31 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 13:31 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 13:31 |
| bekks | Mohamd: Investigate the error :) | 13:31 |
| james- | lotuspsychje, nope that isn't it either :0 sorry to be a pain in the neck, don't have to mount volumes through the terminal I can still mount them by going to files, device, and selecting the volume i'd like to mount. It just don't show in the unity bar on the left that it's mounted. It's easier when it's on the launcher. | 13:31 |
| merandus | SaberX01: any reasons? imy vp has 2gb memory by the way | 13:31 |
| fatjon | hi. i wan't to install the update from the "Software Updater" but it show me (Packege operation falied, The installation or removal of a software packege falied.) i have ubuntu 13.10 | 13:31 |
| lotuspsychje | james-: are those ntfs drives? | 13:32 |
| Mohamd | bekks : do you think i should re supply a new hard disk? | 13:32 |
| Allison43 | Mohamd, what's the problem ,give some details | 13:32 |
| bekks | Mohamd: I think you should investigate the error. | 13:32 |
| Mohamd | wait.. | 13:32 |
| SaberX01 | merandus, All my server are 64 .. come to think of it, I only have one box that's not 64. | 13:32 |
| fatjon | hi. i wan't to install the update from the "Software Updater" but it show me (Packege operation falied, The installation or removal of a software packege falied.) i have ubuntu 13.10 | 13:33 |
| james- | lotuspsychje, Sometimes, but I mainly use linux drives. I just like the mounted drives to show on unity. I can show you a picture if you'd like, is there something similar to pastebin but instead of pastes I can show pictures? | 13:33 |
| Mohamd | Installation failed : installer encountered an error copying files to the hardisk | 13:33 |
| Mohamd | [erno 5] input and output error | 13:33 |
| bekks | Mohamd: Yeah, then type: dmesg and see which errors occured. | 13:33 |
| SaberX01 | merandus, its pretty easy really, if you have 64 installed and need it, you have it, if ya dont and need it, your hosed. easier just to install it. | 13:33 |
| Mohamd | dmesg? | 13:34 |
| bekks | Mohamd: Yes, dmesg | 13:34 |
| merandus | SaberX01: so for having both 64/32 support i just go with 64? | 13:34 |
| bekks | merandus: Yes. | 13:34 |
| Mohamd | bekks : im not on the linux now , because i cant install it | 13:34 |
| merandus | SaberX01: if i go 32bit, then i won't be able to work 64bit packages/codes or something | 13:35 |
| bekks | merandus: Correct. Using 32bit, you cannot use 64bit. But you can use 32bit when being on 64bit. | 13:35 |
| SaberX01 | merandus, Yup, if ya need 32bit support, just add ia32-libs .. and go from there. | 13:35 |
| Mohamd | as soon as that error pops .. then it shows up that the launcher has crashed | 13:35 |
| merandus | bekks: oh i see | 13:36 |
| merandus | so i'll guess i just go with 64. | 13:36 |
| SaberX01 | good choice :-) | 13:36 |

| Phoenixxl | could someone please tell me where the sequence number for init.d entries is stored. The general default is 20 but some serviced have their own. openvpn for example has 80 , where can those be changed per program. Or where are they defined when installing. Thnx for any reply. | 13:41 |
| ikonia | Phoenixxl: doesn't work like that with upstart | 13:41 |
| Phoenixxl | ikonia, i know i'm not talking about upstart | 13:42 |
| ikonia | Phoenixxl: what are you talking about then, as upstart is the init system for ubuntu | 13:42 |
| SaberX01 | cristian_c, I did a quick search, did not yield much you probably need to compile a module, but that's a guess, and where to find the how too, probably not easy either. | 13:43 |
| Phoenixxl | ikonia, update-rc.d | 13:43 |
| Oxcyde | hello all | 13:43 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: update-rc.d is for SYSV init, which is not used by Ubuntu. | 13:43 |

| Phoenixxl | bekks, sure it is | 13:44 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, server 12.04.3 uses it when installing openpn | 13:44 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: The init system of Ubuntu is upstart, not SYSV | 13:45 |
| SaberX01 | cristian_c, I dont think so, but maybe. Id' go to the MFG and ask them about Linux support of the product. | 13:45 |
| maksimkaaa | Hi, Can I show what the current time in different timezone like Moscow using date command? my pc is UTC and i want to check what is current date in another city without changing the timezone on my pc.. | 13:45 |

| ikonia | maksimkaaa: that is not dates function | 13:45 |
| maksimkaaa | ikonia: is there another tool for that? or should i write a program for that? | 13:46 |
| cristian_c | SaberX01, mfg as manufacturing? | 13:46 |
| ikonia | maksimkaaa: a shell script would work just fine | 13:46 |
| SaberX01 | cristian_c, yes, MFG = manufacturer of the product. | 13:46 |
| cristian_c | ok | 13:46 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, I just need to know where the sequence numbers are stored | 13:47 |
| cristian_c | SaberX01, but I think it dowsn't know linux | 13:47 |
| cristian_c | *doesn't | 13:47 |
| maksimkaaa | ikonia: a shell script? what exactly will it do and where will it get its tz info from ? | 13:47 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: In the name of the file in /rcX.d/ | 13:47 |

| Phoenixxl | bekks, when they are generated | 13:47 |
| ikonia | maksimkaaa: if you know your current time zone is utc and you know russia is say +2 then you just do date %format hour syntax +2 | 13:48 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, they must have a template with a default | 13:48 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: When installing the package. They arent generated, they are just copied from the package archive. | 13:48 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, how else would sudo get to 75 for example | 13:48 |
| ikonia | maksimkaaa: then just put that in a script so you can cll time zones | 13:48 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: From the package archive it was installed from. | 13:48 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, ok we're getting somewhere now | 13:48 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, and where is that stored ? | 13:48 |
| SaberX01 | maksimkaaa, quick example, type isn the terminal: TZ=CET date; TZ=UTC date; TZ=Hongkong date; TZ=Montreal date | 13:49 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: Do you know what a .deb file is? | 13:49 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, do you know what sarcasm is ? | 13:49 |

| Phoenixxl | bekks, i don't know however where it is conventional to store a sequence number , and i'd really lkike to know that | 13:53 |
| j_f-f | which package is involved by "window-stack-br[1820]: segfault at 8 ip" | 13:54 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: So you know that a .deb is basically a package archive, and that - upon installation - files from the archive are just copied to the filesystem, do you? And those filenames are not generated somehow, they are stored as is in the .deb | 13:54 |
| === zz_whitenite is now known as whitenite | ||
| bekks | Phoenixxl: I told you that the sequence number is stored in the filename only. | 13:54 |
| pc | Madhurjya, have you tried run terminal and run sudo apt-get install gnome-panel? then log off from unity and then choose start with gnome? | 13:54 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, when generating defaults it always generates the same number | 13:54 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, it doesn't read the deb to do that | 13:55 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: It does NOT generate whatsoever. | 13:55 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: The sequence number i stored statically, in the filename. | 13:55 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: If you dont want to accept that, I am out. | 13:55 |

| Phoenixxl | bekks, when doing a update-rd.d someservice defaults | 13:57 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, it will have the same sequence number again | 13:57 |
| Madhurjya | pc, Do you think it could be a problem with my 1400 X 900 display or my graphics drivers? (It's an old system) | 13:57 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, it doesn't read the .deb again | 13:57 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: Of course. because it is stored statically in the file name. | 13:57 |
| bekks | Phoenixxl: When will you accept that fact? | 13:57 |
| Phoenixxl | bekks, so it must be stored somewhere | 13:57 |

| bekks | Phoenixxl: It isnt. It still lifes in /etc/init.d/ | 13:58 |
| gordonjcp | how can I stop windows sticking to the top bar in Unity? | 13:58 |

| bekks | Madhurjya: Depends on your personal choice. | 13:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | Phoenixxl: you may be looking for where update-rc.d is actually being called. Check the install config or post install script | 14:00 |
| pc | Madhurjya, have a try, but I think the problem might be the version of kernel and adherent libraries, for example I was unable to run new nvidia drivers on 10 yrs old system | 14:00 |
| Madhurjya | bekks,pc I mean which one do you think would run better in an older system (amd athlon 4600/2GB RAM/128mb NVIDIA integrated nForge Graph.) | 14:01 |

| Madhurjya | bekks, which driver should i install? | 14:09 |
| zzz | gordonjcp, I select format I name the drive what I want it, I hit format it looks like it's going to format, the drive flashes, then it stops and everything is still on the drive | 14:10 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz gparted can do that, simply delete the file system on the flash drive | 14:10 |
| SaberX01 | Phoenixxl, I wish they were too. Get them all on one method or another, but the half way buz is irritating. | 14:10 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, I didn't think of trying gparted. Hold on let me start it | 14:11 |
| vboxuser | I just installed Ubuntu server on an old laptop, so: no GUI. I'd like to connect to it my external USB HDD and share it through my house and other PCs (Linux, Windows) using Samba. The thing I need to do is: how can I get my USB HDD automagically mounted at a choosen mountpoint when I plug-in that HDD? | 14:11 |
| Madhurjya | bekks, you there? | 14:11 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, doesnt look like gparted is seeing the drive, but Ubuntu is seeing the drive. Can I send a picture to you on pastebin or do I need to use something else? | 14:13 |
| it | can i install proper AMD graphic drivers on ubuntu sudio? | 14:13 |
| bekks | zzz: gdisk -l | 14:13 |
| Allison43 | Madhurjya, pastebin the output of sudo lshw -C video | 14:13 |
| gordonjcp | SaberX01: for future reference, it's "Edge Resistance" and can't be turned off but can be set to 1 pixel | 14:13 |
| zzz | bekks, what does that do? I tried to run it I have to install it I just want to know what it is before I install is all. | 14:14 |
| it | why does ubuntu detects my monitor as a 22 inch goldstar when its a 23 inch | 14:14 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, lots of ways to do it, you already know Samab probably best File Share method, here's info on Mount/USB: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB | 14:14 |
| SaberX01 | gordonjcp, Is that in Compiz Mgr?> | 14:14 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz with the flash drive plugged it, does lsblk see it? | 14:15 |
| ice9 | disabling touch pad while typing is not working! any idea? | 14:16 |
| it | why does ubuntu detects my monitor as a 22 inch goldstar when its a 23 inch lg tv | 14:16 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697156/ | 14:16 |
| it | can i install proper AMD graphic drivers on ubuntu sudio? | 14:17 |
| gordonjcp | SaberX01: yes | 14:17 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, also, for extended info on fstab: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 14:17 |
| SaberX01 | gordonjcp, thnks | 14:17 |
| vboxuser | SaberX01, ty for links... I'm reading this---> http://serverfault.com/questions/414120/how-to-get-usb-devices-to-automount-in-ubuntu-12-04-server | 14:17 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz good, i wonder why gparted doesnt see it... are you familiar with fdisk? | 14:18 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, no but i'm willing to learn :) | 14:18 |
| Allison43 | it, yes , but ask in #ubuntu-studio | 14:18 |
| jonez813 | i have a lvm filesystem that i cant seem to mount. i have looked online but i keep betting bad superblock errors and short read error. is there anything i can do to mount /dev/hpbun/root and recover my data. external hdd took a dive off a table... | 14:19 |
| it | copy paste is your friend:) | 14:19 |
| vboxuser | SaberX01, but the thing I need to do is just like Windows, you know, inserting an USB device and it will be automagically mounted/opened. Something like this---> http://www.howtogeek.com/96298/assign-a-static-drive-letter-to-a-usb-drive-in-windows-7/ Understood? | 14:19 |
| gordonjcp | jonez813: you may well have more than one superblock | 14:19 |
| anton02 | how do u install samba4 | 14:20 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, Yeah, usbmount is not installed by default on the server. | 14:20 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, I messed up i'm sorry. gparted sees it I didn't select it from the menu on top i just went to close it and realized my error | 14:20 |
| bekks | !info samba4 | 14:20 |
| ubottu | samba4 (source: samba4): SMB/CIFS file, NT domain and active directory server (version 4). In component universe, is optional. Version 4.0.3+dfsg1-0.1ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 1658 kB, installed size 10844 kB | 14:20 |
| bekks | anton02: apt-get install samba4 | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz ok, great | 14:20 |
| jonez813 | gordonjcp: i have done mke2fs -n to find the superblocks, and tried mount -b *allsuperblockslisted* with no luck | 14:20 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, even though it recognizes it I don't see a place to select format | 14:20 |
| vboxuser | SaberX01, but the thing I need to do is just like Windows, you know, inserting an USB device and it will be automagically mounted/opened. Something like this---> http://www.howtogeek.com/96298/assign-a-static-drive-letter-to-a-usb-drive-in-windows-7/ Understood? | 14:20 |
| anton02 | bekks: nice | 14:21 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, I can right click on it and I see something that says format to but it is gray and i cant clicck | 14:21 |
| bekks | anton02: I told you the same a few days ago :) | 14:21 |
| vboxuser | SaberX01, or even something like this---> https://github.com/LemonBoy/ldm | 14:21 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, I dont know what that's talking about, Windows part. | 14:22 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz or simply "delete"? | 14:22 |
| anton02 | bekks: lol it wasnt me i dont think | 14:22 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, delete is also gray | 14:22 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz odd... maybe you have to unmount it first, does that make sense? | 14:23 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, A server not like a desktop, it's not setup to do loads of restarts., Generally, you set it up, and it stays up and runnign for long periods of time. Allot of these tool, while they function on servers, are for DE users. | 14:23 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, I will that hold on. I wouldn't know what makes sense I have used Linux for a while now but I am no problem solver yet by any means, to me you are the expert :) | 14:24 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, So wiht that in mind, create a mount point, mount the device, add to fstab if you like, config Samba or SSHFS, and you should eb good to go. | 14:25 |
| vboxuser | SaberX01, let me explain again. Maybe I'm wrong! :p So, having no DE, I need to make my external USB HDD automagically mounted always at the same mountpoint when I simply plug-in this device | 14:25 |
| jjavaholic | is it possible to disable the autohide feature of scribes? | 14:25 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, nope, i unmounted and gparted dont see it | 14:25 |
| anton02 | jjavaholic: do you like coffee for the taste or the caffeine? | 14:25 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz in time, you'll be the one helping others | 14:25 |
| llutz | vboxuser: write an udev-rule, here are some ideas how http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 | 14:25 |
| jjavaholic | what about both? | 14:26 |
| anton02 | jjavaholic: or are you referring to the programming language? | 14:26 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, I look forward to it, you have helped me a lot the passed week. I don't have the same nickname as I had before because it wouldn't go through for some reason, but I am taking networking classes and really need to get this stuff down. | 14:27 |
| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| Phoenixxl | vboxuser, You can edit /etc/udev/rules.d/85-my_rule.rules | 14:27 |
| jjavaholic | programming language | 14:27 |
| Phoenixxl | vboxuser, if you know your device id and vendor ID | 14:27 |

| Phoenixxl | vboxuser, ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="YOURVENDORID", SYSFS{idProduct}=="YOURPRODUCTID", RUN+="YOURSCRIPT" | 14:28 |
| vboxuser | llutz, will be a looong study. Thins I've never seen before | 14:28 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, Or, if you want to get even more indepth, install NFS on your external HDD: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-file-system.html | 14:29 |
| Phoenixxl | vboxuser, you can have it mounted when inserted using that script | 14:29 |
| vboxuser | Phoenixxl, the funny thing I've nevere scripted in my life!!! :p | 14:29 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, Should I try formatting using the overwrite existing data with 0's (slow) ? What does it mean to do that? | 14:29 |
| llutz | vboxuser: there is always a 1st time, so good luck | 14:30 |
| Phoenixxl | if you've used a command prompt you're half way set | 14:30 |
| vboxuser | llutz, something I need to know/read/study to learn some basic scripting? | 14:30 |
| vboxuser | yuo're all talking about bash-scripting? | 14:30 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, Not being funny, but an external USB device not the best choice for a server. If ya have room in the box, that's a better place for it. | 14:30 |
| llutz | vboxuser: for a start it would be helpful to know how to use a cli-editor like vim/nano/mcedit/... | 14:31 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz not sure what you mean, but do some reading here (dry technical stuff) http://www.howtogeek.com/106873/how-to-use-fdisk-to-manage-partitions-on-linux/ | 14:31 |
| Phoenixxl | vboxuser, ash yes, it's basically listing commands to perform and having the ability to put in iterations and selections. | 14:31 |
| Phoenixxl | vboxuser, all programming is sequences , interations and selections. | 14:32 |
| vboxuser | SaberX01, I know, but it's a easy server. Simple PS3MediaServer streaming and 2 simple Samba shares. The server isn't always turned on and it's not essential | 14:32 |
| Phoenixxl | vboxuser, if you can program in one language you can program in any | 14:32 |
| SaberX01 | vboxuser, may as well get used to scripts now, you gonna do allot of editing to set things up. | 14:32 |
| vboxuser | So... I can use nano. But how someone do/learn bash-scripting??? | 14:33 |
| SaberX01 | Yes | 14:33 |
| vboxuser | from where should I start? :p | 14:33 |
| SaberX01 | Nano my editor of choice | 14:33 |
| llutz | vboxuser: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide | 14:33 |
| SaberX01 | ^^ that's a good place to start, then the LDP Advanced Bash Scripting Guide as well. | 14:33 |

| Jacob999 | saberx01, okay so you would recommend me updating ubuntu to 13.10? | 15:11 |
| it_ | WARN: / is world writable! | 15:11 |
| it_ | WARN: / is group writable! | 15:11 |
| it_ | cool | 15:11 |
| solisan | what is this? | 15:12 |
| SaberX01 | Jacob999, I would yes, 13.04 is about EOL, 13.10 is EOL in Apr-2014 .. then 14.04 is Live LTS. | 15:12 |
| it_ | a sandwich | 15:12 |
| dimitris | hitsujiTMO: is it easy to fix you think? | 15:12 |
| llutz | it_: do you have anything ubuntu-related to say? this is not a place for your random nonsense | 15:12 |
| solisan | ok by | 15:12 |
| Blackkatt | llutz, yes, i get that, but i still dont know how to give me access, why does GUI Gparted set root as owner? | 15:12 |
| Layne | Hey, I hope someone can answer me a quick licensing question. | 15:12 |
| Layne | I was wondering if I have to pay any license fees if I want to create a VM with ubuntu as development environment for a project that has commercial value. Note, ubuntu itself won't be the hosting OS it's just that I want to use it as development environment. The finished product can run on any OS. It's jsut that I'm using ubuntu to develop a commercial product. | 15:13 |
| it_ | !ops llutz | 15:13 |
| llutz | Blackkatt: because only root can do what you did. | 15:13 |
| Blackkatt | llutz, yes, but how do i set the owner to "me" ? | 15:13 |
| Jacob999 | saberx01, alright ill give it a shot. thanks | 15:13 |
| SaberX01 | Jacob999, I take that back, 13.10 is EOL in July 2014 not APR | 15:13 |
| llutz | Blackkatt: man chown | 15:13 |
| Blackkatt | i use the GUI version i totally new to this | 15:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimitris: can you pastebin output of: rfkill list all | 15:13 |
| it_ | man chroot | 15:13 |
| Blackkatt | of gparted that is | 15:13 |
| Jacob999 | Saberx01, okay well ill try that. Thank you. | 15:14 |
| SaberX01 | Jacob999, The you can do a release-upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 in April, should good to go then. | 15:14 |
| dimitris | hitsujiTMO: and then do the link thing again? | 15:14 |
| zzz | hitsujiTMO, yes it formats using sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1 | 15:14 |
| MonkeyDust | zzz you made it? | 15:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimitris: yes, same again | 15:14 |
| DJones | it_: Do you have a support issue, please don't use the !op's trigger unless it is a channel emergency | 15:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | zzz: may be an issue with gparted then. sounds a little unusual | 15:15 |
| coolbob-arm | is there a better irc app then loqui for ubuntu? | 15:15 |
| SaberX01 | Jacob999, You ahve one other option too, you can install 12.04 LTS now, then do one release-upgrade in April to 14.04 LTS ether way works good. | 15:16 |
| dimitris | hitsujiTMO: i get nothing back with this commant | 15:16 |
| MonkeyDust | coolbob-arm xchat and irssi are popular | 15:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimitris: ok then, try: lspci -knn | grep Network -A 3 | 15:18 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, kind of. When I use the sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1 command i can format with no problem. For some reason I have to use gparted to unmount the flash drive and then when I try formatting it it don't format it flashes like its going to and does nothing. | 15:18 |
| ausjke_ | i saw my sysstat cron has a debian-sa1 command, but debian-sa1 is under /usr/lib/sysstat, which is not on typical PATH, how could it be executed by a cron? | 15:18 |
| SaberX01 | coolbob-arm, IRC client info, lots to choose form: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat | 15:18 |
| zzz | hitsujiTMO, yes unusual to me as well | 15:18 |
| it_ | LOL why does ubuntu detects my monitor as a 22 inch goldstar when its a 23 inch | 15:19 |
| thom_r | it might be a 22.9 inch but is marketed as a 23 | 15:19 |
| llutz | ausjke_: is it called with full path or do they set extra environment in crontab for it? | 15:19 |
| SaberX01 | what he said ^^^ 22.99" | 15:19 |
| it_ | its not goldstar | 15:19 |
| dimitris | hitsujiTMO: how do i put this line on my keyboard after -knn? | 15:19 |
| ausjke_ | llutz: neither, but this is the 'default' ubuntu files | 15:20 |
| it_ | I WIN ubuntu SYCKS | 15:20 |
| thom_r | what kind of monitor is it? | 15:20 |
| it_ | lg fhd tv | 15:20 |
| ausjke_ | llutz: which mean i may be missing something basic | 15:20 |
| Keanu73 | <rt AT NO SPAM ubuntu DOT com>. | 15:20 |

| ausjke_ | PATH=/usr/lib/sysstat:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin | 15:21 |

| flammi | does somebody know how to install a firmware update for my touchpad without windows? :-D | 15:21 |
| Jacob999 | SaberX01, okay, so let me get this straight since I am very new to linux. But all I need to do is sudoapt-get install lubuntu desktop? | 15:21 |
| Keanu73 | I wanna get ubuntu LogBot in my channel :D | 15:21 |
| bekks | flammi: When the manufacturer requires Windows to do so, then there is no other way. | 15:21 |
| flammi | bekks: the firmware update is packaged in an exe ... | 15:22 |
| bekks | flammi: Then it requires Windows :) | 15:22 |
| monty_hall | is there a recommended app to use google drive? | 15:22 |
| killerbart10 | when i try and boot from ubuntu it starts says booting/loading ubuntu the boots back into KDE. | 15:22 |

| flammi | bekks: but thx ;-) | 15:23 |

| killerbart10 | anyone? | 15:23 |
| blacklight | hi all, i'm experiencing problems on my saucy x64 when starting or configuring most of my audio apps (audacity, lmms, mixxx...), they take at least 20 seconds to start and on stdout i see these messages | 15:23 |
| blacklight | http://sprunge.us/UbOG | 15:24 |
| blacklight | from what i read around the net, it is an issue with bluez-alsa, but uninstalling bluetooth support for alsa is not an option for me | 15:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimitris: which version of ubuntu did you say this was again? | 15:24 |
| it_ | #ubuntu-studio | 15:24 |
| killerbart10 | when i try and boot from ubuntu it starts says booting/loading ubuntu the boots back into KDE. | 15:24 |
| blacklight | this is perfectly reproducible if you install bluez-alsa on x64 and then you simply go with this python code: | 15:25 |
| blacklight | >>> import pyaudio | 15:25 |
| blacklight | >>> p = pyaudio.PyAudio() | 15:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimitris: can you also tell me the output of: sudo modprobe iwlwifi | 15:25 |
| dimitris | hitsujiTMO: ubuntu 13.10 32bit | 15:25 |
| killerbart10 | when i try and boot from ubuntu it starts says booting/loading ubuntu the boots back into KDE. | 15:26 |
| blacklight | the system takes at least 20 seconds for initializing the audio and those messages pop out, there are folks reporting this issue even 2 years ago, it looks confirmed, but no workaround or solution, is anyone aware of some progress? | 15:26 |
| it_ | try av linux | 15:26 |
| SaberX01 | blacklight, if bluez is causing the issue, I understand you cant remove it perm, but for test the fix, maybe submit a bug report with before and after. | 15:26 |
| blacklight | SaberX01: bluez is the issue, and there are already many bug reports for this, for example here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/361615 | 15:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 361615 in bluez (Ubuntu) "ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1569:(audioservice_expect) BT_GET_CAPABILITIES failed : Input/output error(5)" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 15:27 |
| blacklight | but so far no one as provided a solution as far as i know | 15:27 |
| blacklight | (that bug was actually reported in 2009..) | 15:28 |
| SaberX01 | blacklight, maybe refreshing it with new data will bring it out more I dont know. | 15:28 |
| alfredo | hello folks | 15:29 |
| sk1pper | hi folks, which linux/ubuntu distribution would you suggest for an acer aspire one with 1GB of RAM and CPU at 1.6GHz ? | 15:29 |
| dimitris | hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697519/ | 15:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1pper: lubuntu or xubuntu | 15:30 |
| gauss | /msg NickServ identify k@cl6jat | 15:30 |
| SaberX01 | blacklight, also, could go into #ubuntu-bugs and ask about the disposition there as well. | 15:30 |
| arc__ | All distros | 15:30 |
| Blackkatt | llutz, btw next time recommend the already installed app for Ubuntu "Disks" it formats and set right permissions (me) | 15:30 |
| llutz | gauss: time to change password | 15:30 |
| blacklight | SaberX01: thanks i'll try that ^^ | 15:30 |
| llutz | blacklight: i won't | 15:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimitris: do you know how to load an older kernel from the grub menu? | 15:30 |
| Blackkatt | llutz, strange as it just did! | 15:30 |
| sk1pper | hitsujiTMO: thanks, where can I download from? | 15:30 |
| dimitris | hitsujiTMO: unfotunately no my friend | 15:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1pper: all the releases are here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ | 15:31 |
| llutz | Blackkatt: nice that it works, but i only recommend universal solutions (aka shell-commands) since i don't know what software someone has installed or not | 15:31 |
| sk1pper | hitsujiTMO: okay, thanks | 15:32 |
| Blackkatt | llutz, its installed by default, thats why i mention it | 15:32 |
| zzz | MonkeyDust, I also have another issue maybe you could shed some light on :) I am on a laptop. When I log in I have to use the synclient tapbutton1=1 command to be able to tap my mouse pad to select things. is there a way I can fix this? | 15:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimitris: can you reboot the laptop and after the bios screen hit shift or escape to bring up the grub menu. go to the advanced menu and select an older kernel from the list. see if that allows the wifi to work | 15:33 |
| it_ | is someone using AirOS? | 15:33 |
| llutz | Blackkatt: does it also come with mini.iso, server, lubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu? | 15:33 |
| Blackkatt | so next n00b that comes in, you can tell them instead making them even more confused | 15:34 |
| Blackkatt | llutz, oh am sry, i thought i was in the ubuntu channel, ooooh snap I am :p | 15:34 |
| laktopii | zale | 15:34 |
| arc__ | Ohh u just got burnt | 15:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | zzz: you need yo add a display-setup-script to lightdm that calls that command | 15:35 |
| it_ | who? | 15:35 |
| llutz | Blackkatt: you are but given flavours are supported here too | 15:35 |
| === zz__gypsy_ is now known as _gypsy_ | ||
| zzz | hitsujiTMO, sounds promising but i'm a lost noob lol | 15:35 |

| it_ | naab | 15:35 |
| it_ | anyone using mint? | 15:36 |
| it_ | the arabic version of ubuntu | 15:36 |
| Blackkatt | is it possible to show transfer speed when moving/copying ? | 15:36 |

| Blackkatt | I'm so loving Ubuntu | 15:36 |
| it_ | ubuntu will love you back | 15:37 |
| Blackkatt | it_, hahaha good to know ;9 | 15:37 |
| SaberX01 | Blackkatt, depends of the app your using. rsync, curl, wget all do that sort of thing. | 15:37 |
| zzz | hitsujiTMO, I should also point out I am using the cinnamon window manager on Ubuntu 13.10 when I have this issue. When I use saucy i have no problem with the mouse. | 15:37 |
| Blackkatt | SaberX01, what now? | 15:39 |
| SaberX01 | dl speeds | 15:39 |
| SaberX01 | or xfer speeds you asked about | 15:39 |
| Blackkatt | SaberX01, aah, i was talking about copy/moving | 15:39 |

| joker__ | does anyone know how to run xchat from behind a https proxy .. i cannot ise xchat because of it | 15:42 |
| it_ | if you make it | 15:42 |
| blacklight | Blackkatt: you can use rsync for checking transfer speed, or do like me (cp and then watch -n 1 'ls -lh your_target_file' for checking how much data is transferred) | 15:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | dimitris: I think the issue is a missing firmware from the latest kernel update. you need to boot an older kernel to get wifi back | 15:42 |
| zzz | hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697575/ | 15:42 |
| SaberX01 | blacklight, Blackkatt and if you want a nice little progress bar, pipe it though an app called: pv | 15:43 |
| Blackkatt | blacklight, thnx no need it came up after a few seconds on the transfer bar | 15:43 |

| it_ | can i use that with eufi bios? | 15:44 |
| blacklight | jonez813: have you already tried fsck -y on the drive? | 15:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | jonez813: if it took a dive then its most likely physical damage. is there any rattling when you shake it? | 15:45 |

| spearhead | A1Recon: you have to define where you want the file to be stored and what you want it to be named. if you follow the how to when it gets to the part where you are in the destinations config you click the add button next to the dropdown that says file and browse to where you want the file to go... | 16:21 |

| A1Recon | spearhead: What would happen if I did not click next and went ahead with stream? Shouldn't the file be saved somewhere by default? | 16:30 |
| spearhead | A1Recon: if I understand how stream works in vlc the bytes it gets from the source are stored in ram until they are displayed then they are discarded. if that is not the case then the stream might get saved in /tmp but would be deleted as soon as you stopped streaming. also that would be a raw data file and you would have to process it with some application before it would be usable. | 16:32 |
| jonez813 | hitsujiTMO: this is a LVM that im trying to mount, not sure if i said that originally | 16:32 |
| SaberX01 | A1Recon, they are most likely in ~/Downlaods/ if you've not changed any preference, or so the docs say. | 16:33 |
| spearhead | A1Recon: but I am pretty sure it is not saved because you cannot rewind the stream | 16:33 |
| SaberX01 | Yeah, from reading the docs, you have to tell it to record or whatever. | 16:34 |

| spearhead | chemist^: have you tried it? | 16:39 |
| jhutchins | !tor | 16:39 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 16:39 |
| chemist^ | lotuspsychje, IMHO i don't believe it's possible to auth with ssl on ircnet because you need to have a registered nickname with nickserv....which is not an option on ircnet servers | 16:39 |
| chemist^ | spearhead, yes... | 16:39 |
| chemist^ | lotuspsychje, :D no it's not | 16:39 |
| chemist^ | Myrtti, i'm using an irc client on ubuntu :P | 16:39 |
| Myrtti | you're already asking in the somewhat more right place, which is #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:40 |

| Ilmen | Hello | 16:58 |
| limikael | lotuspsychje: ah yes it seems to be booting… :) | 16:59 |
| nashant | hitsujiTMO: I've disabled all chrome plugins. It doesn't seem to be site specific. I've done a forced reboot and reopened the same pages in chrome when it asked, and had no issue | 17:00 |
| Blackkatt | hmm the driver for ntfs filsystem on ubuntu seems very good, so what have I to gain using ext4 instead? | 17:00 |
| Myrtti | Blackkatt: native tools to fix it if it goes pear shaped | 17:02 |
| limikael | lotuspsychje: hm no… i just came to a syslinux prompt (actually, it is debian i'm trying to install, not ubuntu) | 17:02 |
| Myrtti | Blackkatt: afaik also better ACL support (obviously) | 17:02 |
| flammi | hitsujiTMO: thx, i have already searched for something like the unity-tweak-tool | 17:03 |
| Blackkatt | Myrtti, that means if something does wrong right? | 17:03 |
| Blackkatt | goes* | 17:03 |
| Myrtti | Blackkatt: yes. | 17:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | nashant: the trace seems to suggest that 2 chrome processes crashed when they hit 1.5gb + 1gb of memory usage. the high io would be the pc swapping | 17:03 |
| Blackkatt | Myrtti, good point. | 17:03 |
| Blackkatt | that other part what is that? | 17:03 |
| Blackkatt | ACL? | 17:04 |
| Ilmen | I have a problem: when I do apt-get update, I get a "404 Error: not found" on a PPA I added some time ago, "ppa:thefirstm/quassel", if I remember correctly; yet, when I try removing it with apt-add-repository --remove, I get the following response: "Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:thefirstm/quassel'. Please check that the PPA name or format is correct." | 17:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | flammi: in unity tweak tool you can remap those keys in unity -> additional | 17:04 |

| Blackkatt | could anyone recommend something like FireWire (system info app) ? | 17:05 |

| ubottu | Ilmen: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 17:05 |
| Ilmen | Is it necessary to remove the software installed from the repository to delete? | 17:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ilmen: what software is it? | 17:06 |
| Ilmen | Quassel | 17:06 |
| Blackkatt | Myrtti, ah, thnx for the info. I'm gonna leave one drive ntfs where games are going to be install (have dual boot, win8 for gaming) but I saw an option that said when formating (compatible with most ntfs system) would you care to elaborate ? :9 | 17:06 |
| Blackkatt | if you even know what i mean :D | 17:07 |
| Myrtti | Blackkatt: nope :-| | 17:07 |
| Blackkatt | with "Drives" | 17:07 |
| Blackkatt | theres that option for selecting filesystem to format too | 17:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ilmen: not necessary if it doesn't replace system packages. you can delete the specific apt source from the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ manually | 17:08 |
| Ilmen | hmm okay | 17:08 |
| Ilmen | thanks | 17:08 |
| Ilmen | I have another similar problem though | 17:08 |
| Ilmen | Since several weeks I have another repository that isn't working anymore | 17:09 |

| hitsujiTMO | Ilmen: thats not an official repo. thats a ppa | 17:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ilmen: what ppa is it? | 17:11 |
| Ilmen | Weird, I don't remember having added this ppa | 17:11 |
| nashant | hitsujiTMO: It seems to me like for some reason chrome has a huge memory leak issue on my system, but I don't know why | 17:12 |
| Ilmen | Unless it's related to the error with Quassel's? | 17:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ilmen: can you pastebin the output of: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 17:12 |
| Ilmen | sure | 17:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | nashant: natually i'd think it was a plugin, but if you've removed them all then look at the extensions | 17:13 |

| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: it is uninstalling it using synaptic | 17:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: ok | 17:30 |
| Laurenceb_ | ok so i was connected via wifi, then suddenly connection went | 17:30 |
| Laurenceb_ | now i cant see a single network | 17:30 |
| connor__ | I'm getting bash: ./configure.ac: Permission denied | 17:30 |
| connor__ | but I chmod the permissions to 777 | 17:30 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: How does ppa-purge works? If I purge the PPA, will it also purge the software on my machine? | 17:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | ayiga: is this the initially created user? | 17:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: yes | 17:30 |
| ayiga | yeah | 17:31 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: that's pretty cool. | 17:31 |
| trijntje | Laurenceb_: define suddenly | 17:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: it reverts it back to the packages in the repo | 17:31 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: nice | 17:31 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: that's what I want | 17:31 |
| Laurenceb_ | trijntje: i was using the net, then no connection | 17:31 |
| Ilmen | hitsujiTMO: Well, I appended ".disabled" to both of Quassel's ppa source files, and now everything works fine, so it was the responsible | 17:31 |
| Ilmen | Thanks for your support :) | 17:31 |
| Ilmen | *to both file names | 17:32 |
| trijntje | Laurenceb_: have you tried rebooting? replugging the wifi dongle, that kind of thing? | 17:32 |
| Laurenceb_ | its built in wifi | 17:32 |
| connor__ | so I chmoded a file to 777 but i get a permission denied when i run it | 17:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | ayiga: it seems you've modified the $PATH var somehow. have you tried to add entries to it at some point? | 17:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | ayiga: can you also paste the output of: groups | 17:32 |
| ayiga | i dont think so | 17:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | !yay | Ilmen | 17:33 |
| ubottu | Ilmen: Glad you made it! :-) | 17:33 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: with ppa-purge, how do I know the repo/sub-directory | 17:33 |
| Ilmen | :) | 17:33 |
| ayiga | so do u have any idea to solve this problem pls | 17:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: you can detemine that from the url in the ppa | 17:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | ayiga: can you also paste the output of: groups | 17:34 |
| SaberX01 | connor__, 777 is wrong, but where is the file your trying to run ? | 17:34 |

| ayiga | i did not get u bro | 17:35 |
| SPFINC | anybody know of any deep net irc channels? | 17:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: for instance, if the url is: http://ppa.launchpad.net/yannubuntu/boot-repair/ubuntu then the ppa is: ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 17:36 |
| trijntje | Laurenceb_: reboot? | 17:36 |
| Laurenceb_ | id rather not | 17:36 |
| Laurenceb_ | im wondering if its a hardware failure | 17:36 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: okay. fair enough | 17:36 |
| Laurenceb_ | where would i see mini pci card issues? | 17:36 |
| trijntje | Laurenceb_: why not? Could be some random thingy that will go away when you reboot | 17:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | ayiga: please type: groups into the terminal, and paste the output of the command here | 17:36 |
| Laurenceb_ | id have to make sure everything is saved ok | 17:37 |
| Laurenceb_ | its a mess on here atm.... | 17:37 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: synaptic is still working on fix the broken packages. after that, I will purge the ppa. Question...is this the equivalent of trying to unsinstall/remove a package? | 17:37 |
| jost | I want to update one package and its dependencies to a specific version (not the newest one). How do I do that? | 17:37 |
| trijntje | Laurenceb_: what is the output of ifconfig in a terminal? Does it show a wlan? | 17:38 |
| DJones | !pinning | jost | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 17:38 |
| ubottu | jost: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 17:38 |
| SaberX01 | connor__, in a terminal <Ctrl+Alt+T>: chmod +x ~/path/to/file/filename should set the execute bit .. | 17:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: its prob gonna uninstall any package that depends on the offending package | 17:38 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: right...that's what I have a problem with... | 17:38 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: that's a major issue with linux...uinstalling dependency packages | 17:39 |
| Laurenceb_ | trijntje: i see wlan0 | 17:39 |
| Laurenceb_ | UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | 17:39 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: my issue began after I installed Blender 3D on KDE. I didn't like it and uninstalled it. It managed to uninstall CORE KDE packages....KDE was messed up after that. I am not sure how that can be allowed. | 17:39 |

| connor__ | <SaberX01> thank you :0 | 17:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: most of the time the issue is cause by people not knowing how to propperly create packages + ppas that don't conflict. | 17:40 |

| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: I agree. Well, PPAs are at my own risk. It is not checked or monitored by Canonnical. So I understand that I took a risk. I just couldn't fathom how uninstalling Blender could uninstall core KDE features. | 17:41 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: that blew me away | 17:41 |
| jost | DJones: thats not what I want - the package is installed in version 2.0.10, and I want to update to 2.0.23, but not to a newer version, which is also available. Its a one-time thing, and it should not prevent any further updates. I've googled that this command should work: `apt-get install <package-name>=2.0.23`, but I'm not sure if it works fine with the already installed package? | 17:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: thats a bit of an odd one alright | 17:42 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: true... | 17:42 |
| varunendra | Laurenceb_, did you plug in a cable (ethernet) just before wifi disconnected? What is that "th0" interface? | 17:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | jost: where exactly is the package? is it in backports?] | 17:42 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: What I need to do is I need to create an ISO image of my drive. One that I can restore to when shit hits the fan. I am using duplicity to backup important files. I didn't realize that I needed more than just a simple backup. | 17:42 |
| Laurenceb_ | it should say eth0, c&p fail | 17:43 |
| Laurenceb_ | varunendra: no, it just disconnected suddenly | 17:43 |
| Laurenceb_ | no apparent reason | 17:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: dd ftw :P | 17:43 |
| jost | hitsujiTMO: it is in the zentyal repositories | 17:43 |
| ravigehlot | ravigehlot: to an external HHD, right? | 17:43 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: HDD | 17:44 |
| jost | hitsujiTMO: and quite old | 17:44 |
| varunendra | Laurenceb_, was the cable connected all the time? | 17:44 |
| Laurenceb_ | no | 17:44 |
| Laurenceb_ | its was on wifi | 17:44 |
| Laurenceb_ | no cable | 17:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | jost: then you do want apt pinning. give the zentyal repos a low or negative priority and gave that single package from zentyal repo a priority higher than 500 | 17:44 |
| Laurenceb_ | fixed it | 17:45 |
| Laurenceb_ | i think | 17:45 |
| varunendra | Laurenceb_, your ifconfig output shows eth0 as connected (there is an IP, and traffic), while the wlan0 has no IP - most probably disconnected | 17:45 |
| Laurenceb_ | i think a nm-applet issue | 17:46 |
| Laurenceb_ | how do i spawn a new nm-applet ? | 17:46 |
| Laurenceb_ | i killed the old one | 17:46 |
| jost | hitsujiTMO: and there is no way around that stuff? Something like "do an apt-get upgrade, but for that package only to 2.0.23, not to the newest 3.x"? | 17:46 |
| varunendra | Laurenceb_, Alt-F2 > nm-applet | 17:46 |
| nashant | hitsujiTMO: I was thinking extensions when you said plugins. The only extensions I've got enabled are AdBlock and a backspace to go back one | 17:46 |
| varunendra | Laurenceb_, Network Manager is designed to prefer ethernet if a connection is detected. You sure no cable is plugged in? | 17:47 |
| nashant | hitsujiTMO: The plugins enabled are PDF viewer, native client, widevine, java and flash | 17:48 |
| nashant | I've got another question. Is there any way to set up power profiles like in windows? In windows I would have a night profile and a day profile, but I can't find any way of doing this in ubuntu | 17:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | jost: you can do: apt-get install package/repocodename but you still need to set a lower priority for the zyntyal repo | 17:50 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: synaptic managed to remove the package | 17:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | nashant: disable all the plugins first and test | 17:51 |
| nashant | hitsujiTMO: I don't even know how to test it properly. Dunno how to replicate the situation | 17:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | nashant: how often did it happen? | 17:53 |
| nashant | hitsujiTMO: Today? a couple of times. Yesterday a few | 17:53 |
| nashant | Could it be a conflict between the chrome built in flash plugin and the system flash plugin? | 17:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | nashant: then just try with them disabled. if you go 12 hours without a crash you know one of them is a culprit. enable them one at a time till you find the cause. no, chomes plugin is disabled if it finds the system flash plugin | 17:55 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: ppa-purge says it can't find the list of packages | 17:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: hmm, interesting. does that ppa still exist? | 17:57 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: its on /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 17:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: as in look it up on launchpad. soo if its still being hosted | 17:57 |

| hitsujiTMO | nashant: no, you shouldn't even see the pepper plugin if there's a system plugin available | 18:00 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: it is there...I had a typo | 18:00 |

| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: its removing it | 18:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: np | 18:01 |

| nashant | Wonder how it got itself confused | 18:02 |

| wandernauta | Hi all! I have some problems with tearing with the nouveau driver and fullscreen (HD) video as well as YouTube. Am I just SOL or is there a magic go-do-smooth-video button? I don't care about 3D performance. Card is a NVidia NVS-somethingsomething I believe. | 18:47 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: I am still getting the login screen for KDE...even after I removed the PPA... | 18:48 |
| StrawHat | wander | 18:48 |
| StrawHat | it might be a ur gfx card | 18:48 |
| StrawHat | but i doubt it | 18:48 |
| bekks | wandernauta: Why dont you use the nvidia drivers then? | 18:48 |
| wandernauta | StrawHat, Framerate is better on Windows + no tearing. | 18:48 |
| wandernauta | bekks, I thought 2D performance was similar between the two, and I dislike the binary blob | 18:48 |
| StrawHat | I mean are u using firefox for youtube? | 18:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: that would be from the kde login package in ubuntu repos | 18:49 |
| wandernauta | StrawHat, Chrome, but there's also tearing if I use mplayer or vlc | 18:49 |
| bekks | wandernauta: the performance is pretty different. | 18:49 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: so the PPA doesn't remove the software...it only restores it to the former state... | 18:49 |

| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: yup its still installed, but you shouldn't have any conflicts now | 18:50 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: The reason why I use PPAs is because the package doesn't exist in the repo, right? | 18:51 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: there are no conflicts | 18:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | ravigehlot: the repo contains updated packages. kde itself is in the ubuntu repos | 18:51 |

| stazich | andre | 18:57 |
| ravigehlot | hitsujiTMO: I am glad that by running ppa-purge, I am back to the Ubuntu repo packages...not the PPA ones. I had PPAs for KDE. What for? didn't need those. I was probably running edge here not knowing why those conflicts were showing. | 18:57 |

| andrewvos | stazich: It depends on what MBA you have. Most things work for me, except I had to upgrade to the 3.12.6 kernel because the MBA was running VERY slow. That fixed it, but now I'm not on an official release so I can't run docker because AUFS doesn't work. Brightness doesn't work, the iSight camera doesn't work. | 18:58 |

| Draton | Beldar: just at a loss for how to fix windows :) | 19:17 |
| Beldar | Draton, The problem here is that when you have identical windows, grub is not smart enough to ascertain a difference. So if you have that windows imaged I would remove the original, and just leave the new on sdb and update grub that should be it. | 19:19 |
| needhelpquick | would downloads the 32 bit version on a 64 bit system make a problem? | 19:19 |
| needhelpquick | bekks | 19:19 |
| Draton | Beldar: Ok, sounds good, i do have windows imaged, here goes nothing... | 19:19 |
| Beldar | Draton, Cool, having an image is your best insurance. | 19:20 |
| Draton | Beldar: So if i nuke sda1 and sda2, then do a update-grub, it should be good to go? | 19:20 |
| Beldar | Draton, Yeah should be good, at worst you may need to reload the sdb with the bootrec /fixmbr to make sure windows boots on its own, grub should see it and add just it to the grub menu withna grub-update. | 19:22 |
| Draton | Beldar: alright, here goes nothing. | 19:22 |
| needhelpquick | bekks i check the md5 its good, when i tryied again i got the the instakker but the it shut down after picking where i want to install | 19:22 |

| pvl1 | gordonjcp: are you looking for eye candy or productivity | 20:57 |

| gordonjcp | pvl1: productivity, hence Unity | 20:57 |
| michaelrose | ummm actually no | 20:57 |
| pvl1 | what is wrong with you | 20:57 |
| spearhead | gordonjcp: my point is I don't really care how much disk space it takes up... I just care about how easy it is to use and how it looks. | 20:57 |

| AcidRain2012 | i3 looks insanely lightweight | 20:59 |
| spearhead | gordonjcp: how long have you been using ubuntu? | 20:59 |
| pvl1 | gordonjcp: because people that atually develop on linux and do networking debugging sit in terminals all day. and i3 is just a window manager. you can picknwhat ever terminal you want | 20:59 |

| spearhead | pvl1: ok, yes you can have it setup for both, I currently have a key setup from my laptop to my server without a password on the key so all I have to do from my laptop is type ssh ip-of-server and it connects to my user on the server without any more prompts... | 22:15 |
| Gallomimia | ditched apple... | 22:15 |
| AcidRain_ | the usb in works with android... | 22:15 |
| Gallomimia | well, not my laptop yet. i'll get ubuntu running on that soon | 22:15 |
| spearhead | pvl1: but to login from any other computer I have to use a password. | 22:15 |
| Beldar | NcA^, Anything still there on the HD and is it backed up? | 22:15 |
| spearhead | pvl1: if you haven't already I would suggest turning off ssh login for root. | 22:16 |
| NcA^ | Well, I've got a NAS, so there's no data that I particularly care about... Just "." files in my home directory | 22:16 |
| pvl1 | spearhead: of course thats disabled | 22:16 |
| pvl1 | but thank you | 22:16 |
| spearhead | just making sure... a lot of people don't disable it.. | 22:16 |
| NcA^ | Beldar: Running gpart for a second time, it returned 4 partitions (incorrect), all blank last time I ran it | 22:16 |
| * AcidRain_ disables root login | 22:16 | |
| AcidRain_ | ya man. thats been disabled for yrs | 22:17 |
| triven | Beldar, I am new to linux. If think you figure out what I am trying to do . Please let me know any alternate way to do so. | 22:17 |
| Beldar | NcA^, I'm not familiar with what NAS is. | 22:17 |
| NcA^ | Network Attached Storage. | 22:17 |
| NcA^ | A Synology DS213 | 22:17 |
| spearhead | Beldar: it is basically a tiny computer that all it does is share a hdd with the network... | 22:18 |
| Gallomimia | NAS = barebones computer on a single board without a display. | 22:18 |
| AcidRain_ | hmmm... whats the point of this NAS thing | 22:18 |
| NcA^ | Anyways... That's secondary to my issue | 22:18 |
| AcidRain_ | sounds like its a shared hdd | 22:18 |
| Gallomimia | you can flash them and run alternate operating systems on them | 22:18 |
| Beldar | NcA^, People use testdisk at times it has photorec in its menu, continueing to run it and or messing with overwrites makes it less likely yo0u will get recovery. | 22:18 |
| spearhead | AcidRain_: cheep network shared storage with no configuration necessary, or at least very little... | 22:19 |
| NcA^ | Beldar: I gave that a try too, I've written about 4 incorrect partition tables since they got deleted | 22:19 |
| AcidRain_ | spearhead, how much are they? | 22:19 |
| NcA^ | Beldar: Wasn't sure if testdisk/gpart scan the full disk, or just the mbr | 22:19 |
| Beldar | NcA^, Your using the term partition tables and partitions together they are not the same. | 22:19 |
| AcidRain_ | spearhead, if they are more than 100$ ill just stick with the 2TB shared hdd's i got :) | 22:20 |
| Gallomimia | AcidRain_: anywhere from 80-400 dollars. without disks | 22:20 |
| spearhead | http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=207&srkey=nas | 22:20 |
| NcA^ | Beldar: I'm attempting to recover my partition table... | 22:20 |
| spearhead | there are lots of options... | 22:20 |
| AcidRain_ | spearhead, ya that is too much for something that can be recreated for a 6th the price | 22:20 |
| Gallomimia | the point usually is that they're independent of your desktop systems. so they can usually have better uptime, no reboots. and so on | 22:21 |
| Beldar | NcA^, I would start a backup system after this had you had one, you would not be here. | 22:21 |
| NcA^ | I've written new ones, after running testdisk, they were incorrect after I inspected in parted, so I deleted the "partition", and wrote to the partition table, thus, no data is lost, just the partition table was modified | 22:21 |
| spearhead | AcidRain_: my thoughts exactly but they are good for people with little to no computer knowledge... | 22:21 |
| AcidRain_ | guess knowledge does pay off. that linux SuSe terminal was right about 10yrs ago. lol | 22:22 |
| Gallomimia | spearhead: they're good for prying into the private files of people with little to know computer knowledge too. | 22:22 |
| AcidRain_ | ya i was about to say. looks like a good way for your neighbor to delete your computer life | 22:22 |
| Gallomimia | haha yeah that too | 22:23 |
| spearhead | Gallonimia: yeah my church had one and i could basically get into any of their files from any wifi device because everything was on one network and everyone stored everything on it... | 22:23 |
| Gallomimia | they're coming with "cloud" software and wifi adapters too | 22:23 |
| spearhead | including the membership database... | 22:24 |
| sv2241 | hitsujiTMO: your solution worked. I was able to mount bind the paths I wanted but cannot figure out how to make them read only. the command I've used: sudo mount --bind /mnt/Multimedia/Music2 /home/user/Music -o ro. that should do it but it doesn't. I can delete, add, append files without any issues | 22:24 |
| AcidRain_ | spearhead, lmao. so-and-so baptized: yes() no(x) lol | 22:24 |
| Gallomimia | i personally own 2: one is a 1TB drive that i can flash without hardware modifications, that i paid 99 dollars for when 1TB drives with no NAS were 110$ | 22:24 |
| spearhead | pretty much... | 22:25 |
| Gallomimia | spearhead, AcidRain_ with names and addresses? that's a violation of most privacy laws right there. | 22:25 |
| AcidRain_ | spearhead, your sick. thats just twisted | 22:25 |
| NcA^ | I should rephrase my question really.... Is it possible, from a running 13.10 install, to show the currently mounted partition table (need to see cylinders/start-end points), to recreate a deleted partition table | 22:25 |
| spearhead | i showed them how easy it was to get into and how to change it... now it is a little harder... | 22:25 |
| AcidRain_ | we have privacy laws? learn something new everyday. lol | 22:25 |
| bekks | NcA^: No. | 22:25 |
| Gallomimia | hah | 22:26 |
| NcA^ | lol bekks | 22:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | sv2241: bind will keep the same options as the primary mounts unfortunately | 22:26 |
| bekks | NcA^: That was no joke. | 22:26 |
| NcA^ | I'm aware | 22:26 |
| NcA^ | none of the tools for the job are returning the right info: parted/gpart/testdisk | 22:26 |
| Gallomimia | i should pay attention to what NcA^ is doing... i have a volume whose pmap went tits up and i need to recover the data | 22:27 |
| sv2241 | hitsujiTMO: damn, i was afraid you were going to say that. what can I do then? | 22:27 |
| AcidRain_ | sv2241, you have to change the permissions on the files. i think they have to be owned by root. and only root should be able to modify them. | 22:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | sv2241: afaik you can remont it as ro tho. sudo mount -o remount,ro /home/user/Music | 22:27 |
| Gallomimia | actually the volume is populated with encrypted disk images.... recovering those with a file recovery program is..... tough. impossible :( | 22:27 |
| NcA^ | bekks: It's not the end of the world, everything is properly backed up, just trying to avoid the inevitable reinstall | 22:28 |
| sv2241 | AcidRain_: im afraid i cannot do that as other services write there and need rw access | 22:28 |
| Gallomimia | i figure it should be easy with the right tools and piping, since i know the passwords | 22:28 |
| === LjL^ is now known as LjL | ||
| AcidRain_ | sv2241, what services? | 22:28 |
| Beldar | NcA^, You might get acquainted with the boot script it gives you that exact info. | 22:28 |
| andyfied | Gallomimia: it should be possible once decrypted | 22:28 |
| AcidRain_ | sv2241, im not sure about ftp. but im pretty sure that sftp has to be owned by root to be publicly accessible | 22:28 |
| sv2241 | AcidRain_: well, the mount points are Music, Movies, TVSeries.. I'll let you figure out what those services might be :-) | 22:29 |
| AcidRain_ | lol | 22:29 |
| AcidRain_ | sv2241, i see no need for any program to write to those files. but to read, those programs wont need root to read them | 22:29 |
| AcidRain_ | sv2241, i have my stuff setup the same way. Music. Videos, Text_Files. all these programs like rythmbox, totem, gedit can read. but never write unless i run them as root | 22:30 |
| AcidRain_ | which i wont ever have to do | 22:30 |
| Gallomimia | andyfied: can't decrypt until the volume full of files is "recovered" | 22:30 |
| andyfied | mm | 22:30 |
| andyfied | then need to try to make a nice image | 22:30 |
| andyfied | to a good drive then try to rebuild the pmap, that ;ast bit is beyond me though | 22:31 |
| Gallomimia | what's more, there's about 5 such encrypted images, with the same password | 22:31 |
| === DarkPlayer_ is now known as DarkPlayer | ||
| Gallomimia | so... sort them out? without a pmap :/ sounds rough | 22:31 |
| Gallomimia | so far all i've done is image the volume to a good drive | 22:31 |
| andyfied | have you tried testdisk? | 22:32 |
| andyfied | i wouldn't expect it to do much | 22:32 |
| andyfied | but you might be lucky | 22:32 |
| Gallomimia | haven't tried anything since i had it on my mac years ago, other than dd > imagefile | 22:32 |
| Gallomimia | alas, i must step away. good day to you all | 22:33 |
| AcidRain_ | Gallomimia, i would img the files u need. install ubuntu on a throw-away laptop, recover the files with backup tool. this may damage your ubuntu os. backup your unencrypted files. and reformat again | 22:33 |
| AcidRain_ | id only do that in my spare time though. | 22:33 |
| andyfied | Gallomimia: testdisk might be able to get it back together | 22:33 |

| spearhead | Mike63UK: what do you mean by pure data? | 22:57 |
| Beldar | Mike63UK, "room for pure data" could you define that and a context | 22:57 |
| Bashing-om | Amphibulus: I looekd at the link, modify-ing the .c code is also a bit over my head. | 22:57 |
| Mike63UK | pd puredata the music program | 22:58 |
| Barrin6 | Beldar, it said I had some unmet dependencies | 22:58 |
| sv2241 | hitsujiTMO: that's a great ideea but might not be enough as right after the network ifaces come up, nfs shares are not mounted yet and thismain mount is on a different server, so it'll take some time to come up. I think it should happen after all the shares are mounted. what do you think? | 22:58 |
| Amphibulus | Bashing-om, thanks anyway, I'm not sure why there not more people complaining about this | 22:58 |
| Barrin6 | Beldar, it's not a big deal | 22:58 |
| spearhead | Mike63UK: i just did a channel search for puredata and found #dataflow | 22:59 |

| Beldar | Scroll_Tro0L, I use vbox on numerous OS's I just load the vdi and run it, I wonder if you just need to install vbox correctly and add the image. | 23:33 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | Right now the vbox stuff is in /root/ | 23:34 |
| anton02 | apt-get install unity doesnt work | 23:34 |
| Beldar | Scroll_Tro0L, Hmm, not sure myself, never done this myself, and not sure of permissions here. | 23:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | Scroll_Tro0L: i presume you just need to copy over the dirs + chown it | 23:35 |
| Beldar | anton02, unity is the ubuntu-desktop | 23:35 |
| quem | anton02: you ran it as root or with the sudo command prefixed? | 23:35 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | hitsujiTMO, That's where I get lost, which dirs. | 23:36 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | Obviously, Ill move over the .vdi file | 23:36 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | but I have two more folders | 23:36 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | .VirtualBox and VirtualBox VMs | 23:36 |

| hitsujiTMO | Scroll_Tro0L: contents of VirtualBox vms should be enough | 23:37 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | Alrighty, I'll try this now. Thanks! | 23:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | .VirtualBox should be the user prefs global to a vm | 23:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | so not so important | 23:37 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | K | 23:37 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | And then I'll have to change the paths in the vm's config | 23:37 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | Then, hopefully, should be golden | 23:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | if they're not already relative | 23:38 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | They're not | 23:38 |

| Scroll_Tro0L | Super-noob question, how do I emulate a user? | 23:43 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | oh nvm | 23:44 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | i got it | 23:44 |
| raj7749 | emulate? | 23:44 |
| Nuthatch | is it okay to seek help with ubuntu studio here? | 23:44 |
| raj7749 | for what | 23:44 |

| raj7749 | resizing boot partition.. possible? | 23:45 |
| smaudet | That is a no, no that did not fix the issue, not even temporarily | 23:45 |
| smaudet | Soz I still would appreciate a pointer about my blacklisted driver | 23:46 |
| Beldar | raj7749, You might clean out some kernels | 23:46 |
| === jost_ is now known as jost | ||
| raj7749 | Beldar Thanx for the reply.. i did clean some kernels.. but the thing is that my boot partition is 200mb sized.. | 23:47 |
| raj7749 | My custom kernels are requiring more spaces | 23:47 |
| Beldar | raj7749, Pretty standard size, not really needed. | 23:47 |
| Beldar | raj7749, resize it like you would any partition. | 23:48 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | When I do su for a user I just made (as root), it still asks me for a password | 23:48 |
| smaudet | A pointer or a pointer to a pointer. | 23:48 |
| Scroll_Tro0L | Any way around this? When I made the user I didn't give it any password | 23:48 |
| smaudet | Either one. | 23:48 |
| raj7749 | Beldar, i m just worried i might loose grub.. | 23:48 |

| p0wder | hey guys I have micro sd card that I can't format. I tried gparted, it says all space is unallocated, so I tried to partition that space and it says no partition table found... I try to make a partition table and it says Error while creating partition table... Any thoughts on how to get my sd card formatted to FAT32?? If this isn't a good place for this question please point me to | 23:49 |
| Beldar | raj7749, reinstalling grub if you get a grub> is no big deal, If you resize it there must be another partition up against it right needing resizing? | 23:50 |

| raj7749 | Beldar, well thank you.. actually my boot partition is the 1st partition.. can i create another boot partion at end of the free spacess and delete the existing boot partion after coping to new.. | 23:51 |

| nikin | hi. I have an ubuntu 12.04 VM which i didnt update for a couple of months now.. i tried today, and apt-get update fails... not finding servers, and apt-get upgrade fails on sonething about something about a section header | 23:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | frib: what output do you get from: sudo fdisk -l | 23:52 |
| === Guest91626 is now known as denysonique_ | ||
| raj7749 | Beldar, .. i guess i will have to try n see.. thanx :) | 23:53 |
| frib | hitsujiTMO, it said couldn't read the partition table. but it's ok i fixed it with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 | 23:53 |
| nikin | download speed is showed at couple of PetaBytes at some times. | 23:53 |
| Beldar | raj7749, I would just resize the one next to it if a linux, not windows, and the resize the boot. | 23:53 |
| Beldar | then* | 23:53 |
| raj7749 | Beldar, i was hoping to do the same... | 23:53 |
| p0wder | frib: what tool did you use to fix the partition table? | 23:53 |
| frib | p0wder, dd, i've never used testdisk don tknow what it is | 23:54 |
| frib | that is, used dd to erase it | 23:54 |
| === bossloss is now known as randomboss | ||
| hitsujiTMO | frib: it couldn't read it so you wiped it? aren't you curious as to why it couldn't read it? | 23:54 |
| frib | no because i already konw why | 23:54 |
| frib | because I copied 512 bytes from another disk that was way bigger than it | 23:54 |
| nikin | it also downloads each file couple of times.. i see no more point why i have about 300 "Get:" lines | 23:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | frib i see | 23:55 |
| Beldar | raj7749, You just need to do this from a live cd, I would use gparted | 23:55 |
| frib | hitsujiTMO, if i boot ubuntu live iso from a usb can I install it to that same usb? | 23:55 |
| schone | hello | 23:55 |
| nikin | never mind 300.. thats 28%.. | 23:56 |
| schone | is there a way to add persistence to the stock ubuntu-12.04-desktop.iso I download from the website? | 23:56 |
| raj7749 | Beldar, ya.. ill try with live cd... ubuntu live cd has gparted in it... so will try from that.. thank you.. | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | frib no. that usb is locked | 23:56 |
| schone | I must use the ISO file, without unpacking as I am using a mac and a live USB... | 23:56 |
| frib | hitsujiTMO, ok thanks | 23:56 |
| p0wder | can i use dd to fix an sd cards partition table? | 23:58 |
| === randomboss is now known as bossloss | ||
