[00:00] change your address to dhcp and the field is called "dhcp client id" fill it in there [00:00] is there a supported method of getting kernel 3.12 on ubuntu 12.04 ? [00:00] Hydr0p0nX: nope. download the .deb files from kernel.ubuntu.org === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [00:00] Gallomimia so I need to penale dhcp on router [00:01] *enable [00:01] 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] if your dhcp is disabled, how is there any info being passed about hostnames/dhcp client id's? [00:01] can someone help me, i get the initramfs/busybox error when booting ubuntu 12.03 [00:01] Hydr0p0nX, Burrito: i simply installed the .deb packages with dpkg -i [00:02] [00:02] i've got 3.12 installed, but the nvidia driver complains about it [00:02] Gallomimia, Ah, yes. That will work too. I had to compile in order to get special config options. [00:02] can someone help me, i get the initramfs/busybox error when booting ubuntu 12.03 [00:02] so i'm stuck with nouveau or compile from source [00:02] once is enough, kill_u [00:02] killerbart10, * [00:02] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/ (for 13.10) [00:02] oops. you wanted 12.04? [00:02] yes [00:03] Gallomimia can you please explain metter? [00:03] Gallomimia, that's the kernel i'm using now [00:03] and it's fixed my audio out issue [00:03] anyone? [00:03] actually no. but if you have dhcp disabled, there's no medium for passing the hostname or client ID to the router [00:04] Hydr0p0nX: did you ibstall the headers ? [00:04] yes [00:04] 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] all three packages. i missed one and it went bananas on me [00:04] 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] Hydr0p0nX: what error are you getting? [00:04] hot2trot: find command is your answer [00:04] hot2trot: find . \! -iname '*.avi' <--- if that works, add -delete on the end [00:04] ? [00:04] The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which [00:04] does not match this kernel/arch [00:05] oops [00:05] 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] rww has it. use it without -delete as a test to make sure [00:05] Gallomimia Here I am [00:05] Burrito: that's a configuration nightmare i think... what did you do? [00:05] Gallomimia, It just works. === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [00:05] burrito? [00:05] what kinda router? [00:05] rww: the only problem is, i'm actually putting it into a script... and it's not for removing files, i was just using that example to clarify my question and make a template I could follow [00:06] killerbart10, yes? [00:06] can someone help me, i get the initramfs/busybox error when booting ubuntu 12.03 === 77CAAXQKA is now known as snorlax [00:06] hot2trot: then perhaps you should ask your actual question :P [00:06] rww: I actually want mplayer to play all the videos in a directory EXCEPT certain ones... [00:06] Gallomimia, Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2 [00:06] hot2trot: find is highly scriptable. the man page will tell you all about it [00:06] killerbart10, once is enough. [00:06] Hydr0p0nX: have you tried commenting out the BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive? [00:06] Burrito: with dhcp on? [00:06] hot2trot: if you stick all the file names one after the other on mplayer's command line, will it work? [00:06] hot2trot: like, theoretically [00:06] it does [00:06] rww: well... yes [00:07] i just found that out last night [00:07] where can i find help on boot failure [00:07] hot2trot: find . \! -iname '*.avi' -print0 | xargs mplayer [00:07] !nick BARbQ [00:07] 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] erm [00:07] hot2trot: find . \! -iname '*.avi' -print0 | xargs -0 mplayer [00:07] !nick > BARbQ [00:07] BARbQ, please see my private message [00:07] killerbart10, More details on the error might help. [00:07] bah. just... tell everyone [00:07] !nick [00:07] 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. [00:08] i don't see a build_exclusin in the dkms.conf, [00:08] rww: thank you good sir! [00:08] hot2trot: no problem :) [00:09] Gallomimia I just tried to connected via dhcp and see no hostname. Only IP [00:09] im bootin ubuntu 12.3 from sd card and i get a busbox error say that my partition isnt mounted [00:09] 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 [00:10] 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] hi [00:10] bye! [00:10] 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] ...... [00:10] >_< [00:11] next time try google if you're so impatient :( [00:11] Gallomimia, I think that's what mine does. It has DNSMasq installed. [00:11] So.. It can do some nameserver things I guess [00:11] and it probably pairs it up with the dhcp-client-id's that each machine gives when it requests an ip [00:11] I see [00:11] 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 [00:12] 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] like a normal dns [00:13] 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] 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] killerbart10, what did you use to install the system onto the SD card? [00:13] im not curruntly using ubuntu to make my sd bootable [00:14] i used the terminal dd command [00:14] Ah.. [00:14] I've never done that before. [00:14] anyone know the package to support aac playback? [00:14] wasnt in ubuntu-restricted-extras or -extras [00:14] er -adons [00:14] addons [00:14] PublicStaticVoid: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] * Burrito pats FloodBot1 on the head "So sensitive..." [00:15] Yeah that wasn't a flood [00:17] PublicStaticVoid, libfaac0 and libfaad2 look relevant. [00:17] Burrito: Thanks. Can you tell me how you searched that, for future reference? [00:18] I have it installed - I searched Synaptic for ".aac" and then sorted by what I have installed. [00:18] oh [00:18] Synaptic found it in precise/multiverse [00:18] I guess apt-cache search isnt very powerful just searches package names [00:18] 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 [00:19] How do I use synaptic to search packages? [00:19] dpkg --get-selections is more powerful [00:19] cool [00:19] or are you looking for something to install? [00:20] what i listed shows your installed packages [00:20] 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] yes, i used the ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso file with dd [00:20] 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] can you list the full command you used to dd it on there killerbart10 ? [00:21] ok [00:21] Burrito: Yea I like to just use commands if possible for speed [00:21] not a big UI person [00:21] finding the right /dev for your of= thing is tough :/ [00:21] :P [00:21] dd if=/home/user/Desktop/ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb1 [00:21] knock the 1 off the end and try that [00:21] er GUI I should say [00:21] ok [00:21] again, be super careful with dd [00:22] yeah dd needs a partition I am prety sure [00:22] sdb means the second drive attached [00:22] 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] dd = data destroyer [00:22] PublicStaticVoid: apt-cache search searches the description aswell [00:22] XD [00:22] not to make bootable drives. it needs the full disk [00:22] since it includes an mbr and so on [00:22] hitsujiTMO: huh, well apt-cache search aac returned nothing :( [00:22] yeah, remember that ISOs are images of entire disks, meant to be booted as they are. [00:22] No it returned to much sorry. [00:23] grep it perhaps? or put it thru less and read it all [00:23] haha ok [00:23] apt-cache search aac | grep aac? :P [00:23] pipe it to a file and put it on your tablet to read during number 2? [00:24] no grep it for something useful. [00:24] "something useful" will be probably what you think of after reading the first few pages of results [00:24] oh, doing "| grep aac" actually helps [00:24] haha [00:24] heh. can't see why, the results should all have aac in it? [00:25] I know right [00:25] SO I woulnt know what to grep [00:25] maybe codec [00:25] maybe support [00:25] Yeah [00:25] maybe audio [00:25] music [00:25] that's why i suggest less, skim the results a few pages, and grep it for a few things. [00:25] http://pastebin.com/SiKpX87t [00:26] 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] 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] killerbart10: your key isn't long enough [00:26] WEP minimum length is 8 right? [00:27] Try WICD maybe? [00:27] but iit works on my other computers [00:27] killerbart10: sounds like it isnt getting enough characters or not getting expected input [00:27] what should i do? [00:27] Maybe NetworkManager is expecting a full Hex "key", and not a passphrase. [00:27] NetworkManager sucks so bad [00:27] wasn't there a networkmanager plugin for WEP, that didn't bother asking for a WEP key but just cracked it? [00:27] Well i did when I used it on Arch [00:28] 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] Why on earth is your router still using WEP btw?Might as well still be open [00:28] yeah, I also think you should start using WPA2, killerbart10 :P [00:28] agreed [00:28] Cause WEP is cracked as easily as an android app now a days [00:28] gordonjcp: that doesn't sound ethical at all, but wouldn't surprise me [00:29] how do i find what key i have [00:29] aircrack-ng can do any WEP key in about 2 mins or less [00:29] killerbart10: you usually set that in your accesspoint's setup [00:29] gordonjcp: Haha [00:29] ok brb [00:30] Sometimes I wish tab-completion would pick the person who spoke last, first. [00:30] just type your default gateway address in a browser on any machine connected to the router [00:30] Would be very useful in these big channels. [00:30] it will, if you use a client that is smart [00:30] Hi! [00:30] Burrito: There is an irssi plugin for that [00:30] HexChat is dumb, then. :< === user_ is now known as TekWiz [00:30] HexChat supports plugins. I'll look for one. [00:30] Burrito: which IRC client are you using [00:30] Hello! [00:31] ^^^ [00:31] hi [00:31] picca, HexChat, like XChat except the project is alive. [00:31] Burrito: Python and Perl? [00:31] or Just Perl? === TekWiz is now known as TekWizz [00:31] PublicStaticVoid, Both [00:31] I have a touchscreen and never use it now that I nuked win 8.1 [00:31] PublicStaticVoid, It can also be extended to support TCL and so on. [00:31] Burrito: Jealous [00:31] Burrito: it's a good idea, and not seen any other irc clients implement it [00:31] Wow I'm new to IRC lol [00:31] ohhh... i'm using Xchat. is it a package Burrito? [00:31] Wish irssi would FINALLY add native python support [00:32] we can see that TekWizz :) [00:32] I'm using Konversation, is that a good client? [00:32] Thanks Gallomimia [00:32] haha [00:32] if it gets you in here, it's good enough [00:32] If you are into fat chicks it is [00:32] :) [00:32] and by fat chicks I mean bloated IRC Clients... [00:32] lol PublicStaticVoid [00:32] Anybody know the most popular client for windows? [00:32] Gallomimia, Here is their PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gwendal-lebihan-dev/+archive/hexchat-stable [00:32] hey picca [00:32] Big Beautiful IRC clients [00:33] I knew you before I got a new identity! [00:33] i found my passphrase, do i enter that at the password screen on ubuntu [00:33] haha [00:33] killerbart10: Yea [00:33] @random pizza icecream [00:33] pizza [00:33] Well Konversation looks nice, it's got usernames in colors [00:33] oops, wrong channel [00:33] TekWizz, mIRC is one of the most popular. Not sure if it is still popular. [00:33] uh... someone remind me good way to add ppa's [00:33] Burrito: Ewww [00:33] sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/hexchat-stable [00:33] mirc is definitely most popular for winblowz [00:33] oh yeah I remember mIRC from the Amiga days [00:33] Everyone should use weechat irssi or emacs [00:33] ok going to try and boot ubuntu if fails ill be back [00:34] I havent tried hexchat [00:34] is it CLI? [00:34] Hi, I'm having trouble removing MySQL after accidentally deleting the /etc/mysql/my.cnf [00:34] I've tried everything in this guide: http://stuffthatspins.com/2011/01/08/ubuntu-10-x-completely-remove-and-clean-mysql-installation/ [00:34] PublicStaticVoid, Unfortunately not [00:34] All leads to nothing [00:34] Anyone any idea apart from an OS reinstall? [00:34] I am sort of a Command Line Interface Type... [00:35] If anyone gets that joke.. [00:35] apt-get remove mysql ?? [00:35] I wish there was a DE geared twards touchscreen besides Enlightenment [00:36] i wish firefoxOS had command line at all :( [00:36] eww [00:36] Has anyone tried OracleOS? [00:36] any suggsetions what to install on my phone instead? [00:36] is it just Solaris reborn? Haha [00:36] hehehehe.. type [00:37] Gallomimia: You were trying to install Ubuntu on your phone?

[00:37] no, i have a ffos zte dev preview [00:37] aw [00:37] Okay [00:37] My GF is here [00:38] I will be back later [00:39] hi [00:40] i need hlp plese [00:40] im back [00:40] need hlp dhcpd.conf [00:40] :( [00:41] i still get busyboox error [00:41] alsaaaalam alyukom [00:41] faraj, Just ask :) [00:42] Gallomimia, ah, HexChat can do tab completion in the "last-spoken" order. I found something in the options. [00:42] anyone who built a cheap NAS recently?

Something like: "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." | "BusyBox v1.18. (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5-1ubuntu4) built-in shell (ash)" ? [00:45] only BusyBox v1.18.

[00:51] killerbart10, It seems like boot-repair has solved the issue for many people, maybe you can try it [00:51] quem, many people have done it with a Raspberry Pi. They are low voltage, and can run for months on end without a reboot. [00:52] Also easy to make a battery backup for them. [00:52] how do use/install boot-repair? [00:52] It's a package - you can install: sudo apt-get install boot-repair [00:53] and then use: boot-repair [00:53] ok [00:53] 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. [00:54] sudo apt-get install boot-rapair [00:54] Reading package lists... Done [00:54] Building dependency tree...

Now he also tried to dd it to "/dev/sdb", and apparently that didn't work either. [00:56] ander_, Cool, no prob. [00:56] killerbart10, did you spell "boot-repair" correctly? [00:57] yes [00:57] DMackey: i don't think it actually exists. think that was a piss take [00:57] 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] i did sdb1 and sdb they worked befor [00:57] hitsujiTMO, Well that sucks. === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [00:57] killerbart10, oh, sorry, do this first: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update" === Mars is now known as Guest85428 [00:57] ander_, Heh, been there.

I'm affraid of moving the tiniy bios_grub partition. How should I do it (without having to install all again)? === hdrealFan is now known as maged [01:14] you hit it with a rock. === maged is now known as Guest33542 === Guest33542 is now known as hdrealfan [01:15] * killerbart10 is waiting for ubuntu to install [01:15] Burrito: i use a raspberry pi + external drive for my offsite backups, but the new one needs to manage 4 drives at considerably higher speeds, preferably using zfs. [01:16] 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] hitsujiTMO: four hdds + one ssd! [01:16] hitsujiTMO: thanks for the suggestion, but it's quite pricy! :) [01:16] Siebjee, a usb is the same as a HD in formatting, take you pick here. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=format+USB [01:17] how can i let an user run an installed software, and another user not ? [01:18] quem, I see [01:19] krabador, I know very little about permissions, but I guess you are looking for group permissions. [01:20] 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] quem any preference on form factor? [01:20] guyz , i'm on eOS luna , and i have Intel hd4000 graphics , do i need to install additional driver or not [01:20] 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] !eos [01:21] victor__, tell me more [01:21] !elementary | hdrealfan [01:21] 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] quem. hmm thats 1 too many drives for any mobos with onboard processors :( [01:21] 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] if you can call it 'elegant'. [01:21] 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] 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] any ideas? [01:22] ok thanks gordonjcp [01:22] 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? [01:23] victor__, and if i installed a sofwarem and i create the group, users without permission will look sotware's icons in menus ? [01:23] 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] krabador "groupadd allowed" [01:23] brokendrive: gpt is the partition table. hfs is a partition type. different things [01:23] Draton, You dd'd the windows boot partition? [01:24] krabador: that will allow only that user and root to read write or execute that file. [01:24] Beldar: I dd'd the whole disk to prevent issues, did a update-grub [01:25] Beldar: then booted off of the 'sddb (thew windows ssd) [01:25] krabador next, add users into group: sudo usermod -a -G allowed user_a [01:25] 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] hitsujiTMO: damn, that hadn't occurred to me at all. guess asus c8hm70-i/hdmi is off the menu too then. :/ [01:25] Draton, Then removed the ubuntu, cause it's on the original ssd, which ubuntu got the update grub? [01:25] quem: this is prob what id go for http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H87%20Pro4/ [01:26] 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] 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] krabador then, change the applications permissions... say, firefox. sudo chgrp allowed /usr/bin/firefox === mnepton is now known as mneptok [01:27] Draton, Having two identical windows, is a problem, did you make an image as I suggested? [01:28] victor__, and this last, let only allowed members to run /usr/bin/firefox ? [01:29] quem: or if you want something a little cheaper http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4729#ov [01:29] hitsujiTMO: ah, looks good. but i suppose it wouldn't fit in a mini-itx case? === kruxoman_ is now known as kruxoman [01:29] quem: ahh so m-itx cool [01:30] 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] 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] me* [01:30] krabador finally, the permission itself: sudo chmod 774 /usr/bin/firefox [01:31] krabador i guess this will do.... 774: owner can do everything... group too, others just read. [01:32] Beldar: at this point i just dd'd and updated grub, i don't have a repair disk [01:32] hitsujiTMO: what do you think of the ASRock E350M1? [01:32] should be 775 if you want them to also execute it [01:32] i going to try and install ubuntu AGAIN [01:32] oh, nvm [01:32] hitsujiTMO: never mind.. it's 4 SATA + 1 E-SATA. [01:32] ahlafalllllol [01:32] rww but he said he would like to prevent other users from executing... i guess it should be 4 [01:33] Beldar: going to try something one sec [01:33] 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] quem: you're willing to drop to 3 hdds? [01:33] hehe, not quite. [01:33] victor, ok [01:34] but one, sure.. 1 SSD + 3 HDD. [01:34] Beldar: I think the issue is the new drive doesn't have an MBR [01:34] Beldar: so windows isn't identifying it as a system drive [01:35] Draton, Right and a recovery disc made in a windows will fix this. [01:35] Beldar: I can boot into a windows recovery partition, trying to restore the mbr now [01:36] 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] I only have the iw commande - can I use that to connect my wireless adapter to my unsecured network? [01:37] 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? [01:38] hitsujiTMO: maybe i could run the OS off a 16 or 32 GB USB memory. :) [01:38] quem: yup looks pretty sweet. what price are you getting for it? [01:38] quem: lol, thats not a bad idea :P [01:38] heh [01:38] Beldar: so everything i'm doing is to the new drive [01:38] 537 SEK, 82 USD, is the best option in Sweden. [01:39] Beldar so worst case i can restore from the old [01:39] hitsujiTMO: it's a hell lot cheaper than an SSD anyhow, heh [01:39] Draton, We are not even close to actually communicating, I can't really help without that. [01:40] 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] quem: yeah not gonna find something much cheaper than that [01:41] 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 [01:42] Draton, You might ask in ##windows on this part, a recovery disc/usb is the standard way to reload the mbr. [01:42] kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkx [01:42] i installed a updated version in a hope that it will provide more stability [01:42] but it is more vulnurable [01:42] Fay: yes [01:42] idfk bro ubuntu is wack [01:43] !ops | Fay [01:43] Fay: Help!

[01:44] :D [01:44] Hi.. my computer isn't starting after upgrading from 13.04->13.10 this morning. I *think* I've narrowed it down to this bug with UFI + iso8859-1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1221330 [01:44] Ubuntu bug 1221330 in Ubuntu "FAT32 can't be mounted - IO charset iso8859-1 not found" [Undecided,Confirmed] [01:44] psh #ubuntu is a google n00bfest scavenger hunt. [01:44] hey guys [01:44] does Ubuntu have an off topic channel? [01:44] But I don't understand what UFI is. Is there any workaround? [01:45] !uefi | laura-_ [01:45] laura-_: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [01:45] Xgates: yes, #ubuntu-offtopic. [01:45] Beldar: alright expended that option, going to make a recovery win 7 drive [01:45] I wanted to talk and share some thoughts on the Unity Amazon and Search stuff and if some others are into wanting to let Canocial and Shuttleworth know... [01:45] Flannel: thanks [01:45] Xgates: tjat [01:45] Xgates: this is not the place for that [01:45] ? [01:46] elky: He knows that. [01:46] #ubuntu-offtopic [01:46] :) [01:46] i am not a linux expert, but i have few issues with ubuntu, like i want to call through my mobile -broadband, because in windows i used to do so, when it has calling support then it should be available for linux also, second microphone has a large noise in recording, but while on windows, there is very less noise as compared to that, i didn't find anything to configure like noise compression and echo suppression, how to do that in ubuntu [01:46] MonkeyDust - Thanks for the note.. although I don't believe that helps in my situation. I followed the instructions and bumped up against that bug [01:46] Draton, Cool so make it, remove the original ssd boot it go to the recovery terminal and run. BootRec.exe /fixmbr [01:46] Flannel: to be honest, -offtopic isn't a messenger service for canonical either. [01:47] Draton, If the windows boot needs a rebuild I have the commands for it. [01:47] elky: it is, however, the hangout for people who hate the 'buntu [01:47] on internet , at many places it is advised to install pulseaudio2, how to do that in ubuntu, or how to know whether i have installed it or not [01:47] should be called #ubuntu-offmessage [01:48] should be called ubuntu sub mean IQ [01:48] hello how's it going? Hoping someone can help me figure out why I can't open programs. I can't even open firefox, I click on it and it loads and then stops. Nothing comes up and I cant do anything [01:48] using ubuntu 13.10 [01:49] james: did you tried to restart and then tried to open again [01:49] james-, Any info leading to this? Any backups? [01:49] james-: many programs stay in the memory and do not respond === mibbit is now known as Guest34236 [01:50] hello everyone [01:50] Beldar, nope very random, been using 13.10 for a week now and it always works great. all of a sudden I have problems. kkkkkkkkkkk How can I clean programs from memory? Is there a way to stop this? [01:50] is there any tuning that can be done with the nouveau driver ? [01:51] james-, So no update or install then this happens? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [01:52] james-: when you open does it show any indication of opening? or does it just 'silently' fail? [01:52] MonkeyDust: Do you think a clean install of 13.10 would avoid that error? [01:52] elky: are you marrying a freenode'ian? [01:52] hi guys. do you know if there is a PPA for VLC 2.12 for Ubuntu 12.04? [01:52] james-, Have you tried a reboot, as is your info is just empty is all. [01:53] daftykins: this is not an appropriate topic [01:53] :( [01:54] Beldar, I did have an update earlier, but I was using the internet at the time and it was working fine. I tried to reboot, I also checked the system monitor and couldn't find any signs of firefox. I did try a reboot. Draton it shows an indication, the mouse cursor turns into a circle to show that it is loading then it just stops and nothing happens afterwards. [01:55] yes!!! [01:55] ickefes, no, sorry, only 2.2 > https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/master-daily?field.series_filter=precise [01:55] fixed my issue and didnt event have to ask anyone.....w00t w00t [01:56] admbaum, Heh, my ego does not allow me to ask for help. [01:56] DerHeks: Thank you. I guess 2.2 will have VP9 compatibility compared to VLC2.08 [01:56] Beldar, I also uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and it didn't make a difference. [01:56] quick question deleted my .cache folder because it was 10gb large and now all thumbnails are gone why arent they regenerated? [01:56] 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] I was trying so hard to fix my networking issue all by myselfins [01:57] does anyone have any idea what i can do about that? [01:57] james-, run firefox in the terminal and see what it shows [01:57] Beldar, sorry what is the command? [01:57] james-, firefox [01:58] Beldar, got a problem, ill pastebin it hold on. [01:58] Beldar, oh wait i can;t i dont have a browser, can i paste output here? [01:59] james-, not more than about 2 lines [01:59] 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] !pastebinit | james- [01:59] 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 === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [02:02] Beldar, I installed it but can't find it anywhere [02:03] james-, Now run firefox| pastebinit let it go to the error and is stopped and it will give you a pastebin address [02:03] nobody an idea where the error is located? [02:04] Beldar, permission denied you are trying to send an empty document, exiting [02:04] james-, This is not really an area over all I expect I can help you fix. [02:05] james-: are all apps not opening? [02:06] Draton, seems to be only firefox and thunderbird [02:07] hmm ok, any relevant logs that you can see? you could do a "ls /var/log/ | pastebinit" (without quotes of course) [02:07] hopefully they are doing standard logging [02:07] Draton, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6694520/ [02:09] hmm, looks pretty standard, looking to see if we have to pass some commandline param to force some debug level [02:10] 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. [02:11] james-: completely random, doubt it will work but: try typing firefox -private [02:11] hello room [02:11] if anyone is here [02:11] Draton, permission denied [02:11] type sudo !! [02:12] Draton: does firefox log to syslog? [02:12] raub: i was hoping, i think there's a commandline param for it [02:12] sudo, your essentially commanding the computer to make you a sandwich [02:12] Draton, sudo firefox worked. [02:12] and firefox opened? [02:12] Draton, yes [02:13] james-: did you do sudo firefox? or sudo firefox -private? [02:13] Draton, I tried sudo firefox and it worked. [02:13] ok sooo [02:13] one of two things: [02:13] corrupt firefox profile [02:13] or [02:13] permissions issue on firefox [02:13] Draton: -jsconsole perhaps? [02:14] Draton, sudo thunderbird works as well. I just can't select the icons [02:14] james-: how did you install them? [02:15] raub: I think jsconsole is depreciated [02:15] Draton, firefox was installed with Ubuntu [02:15] Draton: would a dpkg --reconfigure do anything in this case? [02:16] Draton: I almost want to ask him to run id [02:16] 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] spearhead: maybe, but it seems that this is a shear permissions issue, strange for a standard install no? [02:16] james-: no updating since then? [02:17] hdrealfan: thank you again for your help. :) === carla is now known as Guest54751 [02:17] Stormer97, updating mesa with? [02:17] Draton: yeah unless that package he installed messed with it... [02:17] Stormer97, any ppa's involved here? [02:17] apt-get dist-upgrade after adding a video driver PPA suggested by steam [02:18] Stormer97, what about the mesa, is it out of the ubuntu repos? [02:18] I beleive I installed mesa from apt, I did not specify a repo [02:18] spearhead: which program? might have missed it [02:18] 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? [02:19] also, this is 12.04, if it matters [02:19] Stormer97, and mesa was for what de? and what de's do you have, they genrally have different window managers. [02:20] Stormer97, Then cinnamon is a ppa as well. [02:20] aye, cinnamon is a ppa [02:20] !ppa | Stormer97 [02:20] Stormer97: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [02:20] Draton: he said he tried installing Istanbul desktop recorder and it installed but wouldn't open. [02:20] the problem started immediately after updaing from the steam video ppa [02:21] is there a way I can uninstall everyting from it? [02:21] Stormer97, sure but with a handful of ppa's not supported here, kinda hard to really get to the gist.

[02:22] what is the command to list all PPAs? [02:23] actually, is there a way to remove all non-stock PPAs? [02:23] Stormer97, ppa-purge is how you do it. [02:24] each one individually [02:24] 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] Stormer97, Stock and ppa don't go together, ppa's are 3rd parties is all. [02:24] ah [02:25] I ran sudo ppa=purge * [02:25] james-: could you run ls -la /usr/lib/firefox | pastebinit [02:25] Stormer97, Some quite usable, just have to be careful. read the bots info on ppa-purge [02:26] spearhead, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6694599/ [02:26] you know what, this is a new install, ima just say fuck it and install ubuntu 13, and start from scratch [02:26] looking for some ppa's? run: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [02:27] why remove ppa's? why not remove the packages you installed from them instead? [02:27] Stormer97, 13.04 and above have cinnamon in the ubuntu repos, and be careful no swearing here. === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [02:28] he left. seems to have a workable solution for him [02:28] james-: how about ls -la /usr/bin/firefox | pastebinit [02:28] spearhead: beat me to it :) [02:28] spearhead, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6694609/ [02:29] Draton: all his permissions seem to match mine [02:29] spearhead: including the link?

[02:31] Beldar, i dont know what that means lol [02:31] james-, Heh, good, many here so and have a bad habit of doing it. [02:31] do* [02:31] Draton: yeah the link in /usr/bin and all the files in /usr/lib/firefox. Unless I missed one, I can go back and look again. [02:32] Beldar you helped me out getting skype to run yesterday evening, many thanks, it works now!!!! [02:32] ROPA, Cool, someone else helped if I remember as well. [02:33] kostkon I think [02:33] Beldar they're not online, will thanks em when I see them here. [02:33] Beldar: I admit that if I am going to be doing a lot of admin work I tend to just root the terminal... probably should stop... [02:33] sudo -i ?? [02:33] spearhead, Heh, it's not debian. ;) [02:33] yep [02:34] does any release of 12.04 support libg3dvl-mesa ? [02:34] im trying to stay out of that habit too [02:34] also making sure to keep out of the habit of leaving ssh root@somewhere sessions open when i'm not sitting there [02:35] trying to mount an osx mountain lion partition to recover some pics for a customer, drive is reporting as "unrecognized file system" in fdisk, any clue? [02:35] Yeah, I have that habit too... trying to just ssh in as normal user then sudo if needed [02:36] smil3y, gdisk I believe for osx, just a guess [02:36] smil3y: double check the disk isn't encrypted, tho i think it only does that on user home's [02:36] i have put my HFS+ disks into my ubuntu machine and used them with no issue :/ [02:37] gallomimia> yea he says he doesnt think its encrypted, ill give it a try, thanks [02:37] holy crap that disk is still HFS+ ?? i can w/r to it no problems... [02:38] Draton, spearhead this thing is whacked. I randomly clicked them and they worked I have no idea why. [02:38] hmm [02:38] james-: how many times have you rebooted recently? [02:38] james-, You might run a memory check from the live boot. [02:39] 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] yup. pretty whack [02:39] 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] james-, You would have to purge FF to get it all off the OS [02:39] Ado orang indonesia da [02:40] !in [02:40] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [02:40] hmmm right. without purge, you leave config files that likely cause some issues behind [02:40] indonesia != india [02:40] spearhead, firefox smart made me lol, Beldar how do I purge firefox? [02:40] gollomimia> i dont believe so, its mountain lion so it should be zfs? not sure [02:40] SO in here is indians? [02:41] any of you guys heard of or had experience with PSUs from the manufacturers MS-Tech, LC-Power, Techsolo or Advance? [02:41] james-, sudo apt-get purge firefox the sudo apt-get install firefox [02:41] !id | raraputri135 [02:41] raraputri135: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [02:41] then* [02:41] Oh okay okay sorry [02:42] Beldar, what does the purge command do? I will run them now [02:42] james-, removes the app and configs generally [02:42] Beldar, ok one sec ill go run em [02:43] Beldar, ok purge complete, apt-get install firefox is running now. Should I do the same with thunderbird? [02:44] Beldar, install complete FF seems to work fine [02:44] james-, I would see if this fixes FF first, I wonder if you have a failing memory card or something else. === Snake2k is now known as fly2web^ === Left_Turn is now known as web2fly [02:45] Beldar, should I restart and see if FF still works? [02:45] james-, YOU can do the same with thunderbird yeah. === fly2web^ is now known as flying2web [02:45] james-, Your choice on a reboot, in this case it should not matter theoretically. [02:45] smil3y: according to the mountain lion core technologies overview by default it should be hfs+ but could be hfsx [02:46] we [02:46] we [02:46] ci siete? [02:46] rispondetemi?

[02:47] wewe === flying2web is now known as Snake2k === web2fly is now known as Left_Turn [02:48] 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 [02:49] james-: have you tried audacity? [02:49] spearhead, no not yet [02:50] james-, Heh now you know the purge I use it regularly on removing stuff. [02:51] 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] Beldar, thank you very much im adding a few of these commands to my notes [02:51] james-: i'm guessing it might have been a corrupted profile [02:51] Draton, My thought as well. [02:52] the sudo would have forced to a new user root, with a new profile [02:52] Crazy question: Is it possible to change the charset of the /boot/efi partition? [02:52] 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. [02:53] 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 [02:54] 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] 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] Can I get my terminal to show user@remotehost when I SSH? [02:55] Beldar: I assume the unplugging is to prevent the mbr restore from nuking grub? [02:55] ziber: yes you can [02:56] ziber: google .bash_rc and .bash_profile [02:56] 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] james-: Ok well audacity is just for audio... I used a desktop recorder before... I will try and find it again... [02:56] 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] Draton: Is there something I can do locally instead of remotely? [02:56] spearhead, thank you! [02:57] Ziber: whats the output of: echo $SHELL [02:57] help please any one [02:57] hitsujiTMO: Locally or remotely? [02:57] Draton, So we want that new SSD booting straight to windows before you reattach the first ssd. === Mathew is now known as Guest97587 [02:57] Ziber: remotely [02:57] All my servers are bash... /bin/bash. [02:57] * dragon121 is away: I'm busy [02:58] Ziber: what prompt are you getting? [02:58] * dragon121 is back (gone 00:00:15) [02:58] trying to install ubuntu 10 on my laptop but after it runs up for a bit i get a bard out monitor and no funtionality [02:58] hitsujiTMO: Well, the prompt I'm getting is one I've set in .profile. I'm using terminal on my local ubuntu 13.10 laptop, and all the tabs are @. I want them to be @ [03:00] Beldar: I'll follow up in a bit - usb app looks to have puked for some reaosn. [03:00] spearhead, Draton and Beldar thank you guys for trying to help me with my other issue. Even though it randomly started working and i haven't a clue what the issue was I learned some new commands :) spearhead i'm not going anywhere yet, i'm gonna wait and see what desktop recorder you think i should try I dont want to mess anything up. [03:00] Ziber so its the tab title you want to change not the prompt? [03:01] Hmm.. Would doing a clean install of 13.10 format my /boot/efi partition? [03:01] hitsujiTMO: Yeah, and I think I figured out a way I can do it remotely. [03:02] laura-_: how many OS do you have on the pc? [03:02] hey [03:02] i tryed dvd boot and got the same issue im using boot from a pendrive [03:03] hitsujiTMO: Just Ubuntu (although Windows previously) [03:03] i did have the splash sceen for a bit === Guest97587 is now known as Mathew === guest421 is now known as arejano [03:04] laura-_: you can unmount /boot/efi ... format it with: sudo mkfs.ext4 -F32 /dev/sdXY. remount it and then run grub-install === Mathew is now known as Guest12289 [03:04] hitsujiTMO: I believe my upgrade 13.04->.10 got hosed because of missing support for an iso8859-1 charset on the /boot/efi partition === Guest12289 is now known as YK_NT_MATHEW [03:04] hitsujiTMO: Except, doesn't the efi partition need to be FAT32? [03:05] laura-_: lol sorry that shoul have been sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdXY . efi can be fat12, fat16 or fat32 [03:06] * dragon121 is away: I'm busy [03:06] hey guys [03:06] how would i start the install in 1280 1024? [03:06] * dragon121 is back (gone 00:00:45) [03:06] hitsujiTMO: I've got Boot-Repair open now. Would that be the same thing as formatting it (back) to FAT32 in GParted, followed by running Boot-Repair? [03:06] !away | dragon121 [03:06] dragon121: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [03:07] laura-_: no. boot repair doesn't format the efi partition at all. [03:08] laura-_: but yes sorry, that would be the same [03:08] hi does any one know hoe you install github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote-bindings it says use just run ./configure [--prefix=/usr] but where? [03:08] laura-_: you'd also have to update /etc/fstab with the new UUID for the efi partition [03:09] laura-_, Be sure to save the bootinfo summary, if you do not get this fixed the thread listed on its web page is a good place to post it for help [03:10] laura have you tryed a windows xp boot and go to dos prompt [03:10] YK_NT_MATHEW, Are you kidding? [03:10] ust the fix mbr fix boot (would they work ) [03:11] YK_NT_MATHEW, This is windows * and a uefi, the fixmbr is a different command to start with, and will not fix their problem. [03:11] 8* [03:11] hitsujiTMO: Hmm. If I format /boot/efi and then run Boot Repair, do you think it would recreate the data necessary to support my 13.10 install? [03:11] Gallomimia> thanks man, gdisk worked, had to repair boot and boots up fine now, no need to backup shit [03:12] smil3y, No swearing here please. [03:13] Beldar> sorry, slipped [03:13] laura-_: it should, but you may need to update /etc/fstab seperately. i don't think boot-repair touches that [03:13] hi how do I pass a bash variable as part of a command in a script? for ex: I have on one line: addopt="--all", but `ls $addopt` raises an error. It's not equivalent to ls --all. How would I pass addopt as a switch to the ls line? [03:14] darmok and jalad at tanagra [03:15] hitsujiTMO: Interesting! If I did this, would it prevent me from being able to do a "scortched earth" reinstall of 13.04? [03:15] !id | alteregoa [03:15] alteregoa: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [03:15] hitsujiTMO: As in, is there anything that wouldn't be completely undone/fixed if I did a full reinstall? [03:16] hitsujiTMO: I'm trying to figure out at what point I just throw in the towel and try installing 13.04. [03:16] Beldar this is not indonesian, it's tamarian [03:16] shaka when the walls fell [03:16] alteregoa, This is an english channel, many if us can only use a translator to tell, if you speak english use it. === zz__gypsy_ is now known as _gypsy_ [03:16] laura-_: nope. the hdd can be completely erased or what not. nothing there is permanent [03:17] Beldar fascinating [03:17] do you speak esperanto too? [03:17] alteregoa, Your inability to show any cognitive development is. [03:17] aprel; is: echo `ls $addopt` giving an error? `ls $addopt` on its own will try to execute the result of the list [03:17] we on NCC1701D speak a lot of languages [03:17] hitsujiTMO: What are the odds of the format fixing the problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1221330 [03:18] Ubuntu bug 1221330 in Ubuntu "FAT32 can't be mounted - IO charset iso8859-1 not found" [Undecided,Confirmed] [03:18] hitsujiTMO: The format the /boot/efi partition, then fix everything up [03:18] laura-_: i'm not familiar with how the charset could be causing the problem i'm afraid [03:19] hitsujiTMO: Yeah, you and me both. [03:19] laura-_: its certainly worth a shot tho. but don't forget to remount /boot/efi before running boot-repair [03:20] hitsujiTMO: echo `ls $addopts` doesn't work either. I get the error: ./test.sh: line 1: =--all: command not found [03:21] I'm guessing that's counting "line 0" because the first line is simply $addopts="--all" [03:21] aprel remove the $. [03:21] Hi, guys, kinda new with Ubuntu, Linux. I hear "Pipelight" is a new way to watch Netfix on Linux. Has it become an update yet on Ubuntu? [03:22] on ubuntu 13.10 i right clicked on a mounted item in my unity launcher and accidently clicked on something that makes it so it dont show mounted items there. Is there a way to make it normal again? === correcto_ is now known as correcto [03:22] aprel: addopts="--all" not $addopts="--all" and that is line 1. there is no line 0 [03:22] 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] hitsujiTMO: oops, you're right there. Now let me try the echo syntax in my more complicated script.... [03:23] spearhead, What is mp4? [03:23] spearhead, and thank you I will install both now [03:23] hitsujiTMO: Formatted my EMI partition. Running Boot-Repair just to see what it does. I feel sick :( [03:23] what [03:23] 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? [03:24] james-: mp4 is fairly standard in video, practically anything will play mp4. [03:24] 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 [03:25] 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] 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] james-: it is a file type, kind of like the difference between mp3 and wav audio files. [03:26] 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] spearhead, I see. Cool I am checking them out now, they seem to work awesome! [03:26] spearhead: nope. wav and mp3 are codecs. mp4 is a container [03:27] 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] spearhead, where does kazam save files? [03:28] hitsujiTMO: it is usually m4v codec [03:29] james-: it saved it in my Videos folder. [03:29] What does "client denied by server configuration" mean when getting a 403 error on an apache server under 13.10 mean? [03:29] spearhead, trying to figure out how to stop kazam lol [03:29] 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. [03:30] 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 [03:31] mp4 is a codec mkv is a container imho [03:31] 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? [03:32] 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] Aprel: that should be: flac "$addopts" -ds -o /tmp/flacBack.wav "$flacName" in the least [03:32] 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] jarno: :) mkv is amazing. I wish there was as much support for it as mp4 [03:32] Beldar: what was that mbr command? [03:33] Draton, BootRec.exe /fixmbr [03:33] Beldar: great just wanted to confirm, ran and booting now [03:33] Draton, cool. [03:34] spearhead, thank you [03:34] 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] 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] Beldar: hit the mbr though [03:35] 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] 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/ [03:36] james-: np [03:36] oki [03:36] james-: how long have you been running linux? [03:36] so my wife asked me a for a favor and I thought I could come up with a fix… she has a 400 page PDF which each page is really 2 pages side by side vertically… after 4 hours I am about to print all 400 pages, cut them and rescan… I have never felt so technically useless as I do now… [03:37] Is there an easy way to change to change the "Accessed/Modified" times in file properties from 24-hour system to 12-hour am/pm? [03:37] Draton, The bootscript is helpful, here are the rebuild commands from that recovery cli. http://pastebin.com/0vUyCax3 [03:37] james-: when you right clicked on the mounted item in the unity launcher did you click on Unlock from Launcher? [03:38] real vs fake [03:38] for that* === ubuntu is now known as Guest76162 [03:40] seen avi container it can be just a name [03:40] Draton, Generally if you are running the repair 3 times is the usual amount run, I would run the rebuild commands if needed. We can get you a good clone if needed, so no biggie. [03:40] 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] 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? [03:41] 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? [03:42] Guest76162, You can from the tty change the nvidia..etc, or maybe try a nomodeset boot to get to the desktop [03:42] Beldar: i'm getting a 'the requested system device cannot be found" part of the 'reboot multiple times stuff? [03:43] how would I go about that?, Beldar? [03:44] 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] !nomodeset | Guest76162 [03:44] 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 [03:45] 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. [03:46] Beldar: trying one more thing [03:46] Draton, cool. [03:46] Beldar: it booted once fine, all of this makes no sense to me. sorry. :( [03:47] What would be the best way to refresh the unity interface without loging out and back in? === james is now known as Guest32007 === sysadmin is now known as Guest55960 [03:47] 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. [03:49] is it safe to remove modem manager [03:49] Beldar: That I understand, it was the link you sent me. All the code goes over my head. [03:49] spearhead, you can run a reset, however a reboot is generally used to finalize it, look up unity/compiz reset for your release. [03:49] Hello I am having a problem on Ubuntu with Amazon. I was able to remove it by using gksudo nautilus and going to /usr/share/applications to delete it. It has been gone for a while but now it is randomly back and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. [03:49] Beldar: Ok thanks, by the way, what irc client do you use? [03:49] Guest76162, The nomodeset link is just adding nomodeset to grub via hitting e for edit at the grub menu. [03:50] spearhead, hexchat [03:50] Guest32007 what Amazon? an app?

In general I would not dd windows, but I don;t dd anything really. [03:54] hmm ok [03:55] Beldar: I am actually using andchat right now on my GS4 [03:55] Draton, I just clone everything, I have ssd's and many IS all rather small so it is pretty fast.

[03:57] pvl1, amazon is like a disease [03:57] Beldar: perhaps try clonezilla? [03:57] I have a question about using acl to automatically set permissions for new files created [03:58] Guest32007, maybe it's a package that needs to be removed? Maybe make a symlink to /dev/null in the file's place? [03:58] Burrito, idk what that means [03:59] Guest32007, and by "don't work", what do you mean? Any error messages? Does it go away and then come back? [03:59] Burrito, oh it works fine i just dont want it. If i want to visit amazon ill go to amazon.com i just dont want it installed on my OS [03:59] No, I mean when you try to remove it, what doesn't work? [04:01] Draton, I use clonezilla and windows has a cloner, up to the pro version you get one image, pro and up unlimited, either will work fine.

[05:37] '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] AiA: what is the problem [05:38] !optimus | HeadlessDan [05:38] 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] can I just download that, and install it like the other, or do I need to do something omnious to the driver? [05:38] Well, installing it from the Nvidia website isn't as good. [05:38] That's probably why it broke. [05:38] maxh76: why not [05:38] why wouldnt the manufacturers drivers be optimal [05:38] You need to install Ubuntu's nvidia drivers, that should be better. [05:39] Well, you don't need to. [05:39] AiA: whats the file location for minecraft in the file tree? [05:39] 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 [05:40] You can go into the additional drivers utility and activate the recommended nvidia drivers. 319, I believe. [05:40] headpunter: that link was for you mate [05:40] 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] pv11: oh, okay. So installing from ubuntu's repos for nvidia drivers doesn't compile? I'm a bit confused. [05:41] maxh76: the open source ones are just easier to install [05:41] maxh76: not exactly. the repos one is modified, after all its open source [05:41] pv11: Okay, so the one's from the manufacturer are better? [05:41] 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] yes. [05:41] they are definetly better [05:42] they are the ones that made the technology in the first place [05:42] thanks lotuspsychje [05:42] thats why even when your on windows, you prefer the actual driver, over whatever windows supplies [05:42] 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.. [05:43] 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] maxh76: the performance difference is usually for newer cards. [05:44] 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 [05:45] !offtopic | maxh76 pvl1 [05:45] maxh76 pvl1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:45] I understand now, before I thought that the proprietary nvidia drivers were worse than ubuntu's ope source ones. [05:45] lol sorry, rant [05:45] Right, off topic. Sorry guys. [05:45] pv11: I do have a question with an ubuntu install on my friend's machine. [05:45] anyone having issues install ruby2.0.0p247 on ubuntu 13.10 via rvm? [05:45] maxh76: whats up [05:46] 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] Scott_S: does that mean that they compile upon installation [05:47] I get 'BUG: unable to handle kernel paging error at ff2b0022' [05:47] maxh76: while its installing? [05:47] Getting 404's on doing the rvm install... [05:47] The requested url does not exist(22): 'http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/./ruby-2.0.0p247.tar.bz2' [05:47] 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] pv11: After the install, it installs fine. But then when I turn it back on, that's what happens. [05:48] maxh76, bad made image. during instalation = Download again and make cd [05:48] Scott_S: is nvidia still the module? [05:48] Oh, okay. That seems like an easy solution. [05:48] pvl1, Let's go to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:48] What would I do if that doesn't work? [05:48] Scott_S: yes sure [05:48] maxh76, come bac here [05:49] maxh76, be aware of what ubuntu u download, 64 or 86 [05:49] peyam: alright, thanks for the help. I have to go to sleep now. Been stalling. [05:49] i386 [05:49] goo [05:49] d [05:49] go sleep [05:49] I shall, goodnight.

[05:57] schone, do you make the usb in mac ? or other os? [05:57] make it on a mac [05:57] I've tried it making it in ubuntu too... but obi that has no uefi boot so it didn't work at all [05:57] use virtuel box [05:58] I dunno.. never owned a mac [05:58] !mac | schone [05:58] schone: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [05:59] lotuspsychje: my air version doesn't show up there [06:00] schone: did you change bios to usb first boot? [06:00] it's a Mac, it doesn't have BIOS [06:00] haha, I dont get that mac [06:01] always a pain in the as === iter_ is now known as iter [06:01] if I remember right you have to hold a key down on boot to select usb maybe "c"? [06:02] is the main thing holding more games from coming to linux just that there isn't a directx replacement? [06:03] the problem is that i want persistence [06:03] and that for some reason is unachievable task [06:03] headpunter: ... OpenGL? [06:03] headpunter: that and its a smaller market [06:03] I've tried unetbootin (which creates an unbootable usb stick) === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [06:03] I've tried others that don't offer the persistent drive [06:03] headpunter: most PC gamers probably run windows [06:03] and they work [06:03] schone, a persistent has limitations [06:03] but again i need persistence on the free space left on that usb [06:04] Beldar: i can live with limitations... as long as i have some persistence [06:04] schone, a casper-rw named partition will give you it. [06:04] how can I create one for an already packaged ISO file? [06:04] 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] while i realize a lot of games can run opengl, most games for windows are still in directx [06:04] cause thats what pinguintosh creates for me [06:04] I just downloaded all the "pipeline" with the included wine stuff so that I can watch netflix and it isn't working at all. [06:04] headpunter: try askin in #ubuntu-offtopic mate [06:05] spearhead: I've done that... but ubuntu creates a non UEFI boot loader ... [06:05] schone, HOw big is the usb? [06:05] !netflix | idaniel [06:05] idaniel: If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop [06:05] is there a way to get what ubuntu created to work with Mac's UEFI boot [06:05] Beldar: 8gb [06:05] I got everything working that i needed to, thanks for the help #ubuntu [06:06] o.k. thanks! [06:06] 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] Beldar: thats my problem... in apple [06:07] schone, I suspect it is easily possible, just a little research is needed, this is ubuntu, not ubuntu on apple computers support. ;) [06:07] * satellit_e VirtualBox? works on my MacBookPro [06:07] Beldar: thx neways [06:08] satellit_e: i'd like it without a virtualization if i could.... [06:08] schone: you could try this option I cant vouch for it though http://applescript.wonderhowto.com/how-to/boot-ubuntu-macbook-from-usb-0128013/ [06:08] I would use apple if someone gave me one, but a purchase is unlikely for me. [06:09] me too, great hardware... just too expensive [06:09] understood....apple makes so many different drivers....very hard to get the right ones working thus sugesstion [06:10] maybe i should ask it differently [06:10] Any recommendations for a VM for windows? [06:10] i have a 12.04 installation turned into an IMG file [06:10] is there any way i can add a casper-rw to it postfact [06:10] ? [06:10] schone, are you able to boot the macbook from USB (Ubuntu Live) ? [06:10] Scroll_Tro0L: ##windows [06:10] I mean for running windows on ubuntu [06:10] Scroll_Tro0L: or you want run windows from ubuntu? [06:11] Yes, that. [06:11] Scroll_Tro0L: virtualbox [06:11] I'm brand new to unix [06:11] varunendra: yes... with 12.04 i am. But its packed into the USB stick as an ISO file [06:11] only server works I think [06:11] !info virtualbox | Scroll_Tro0L [06:11] Scroll_Tro0L: virtualbox (source: virtualbox): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.2.16-dfsg-3 (saucy), package size 13831 kB, installed size 50333 kB [06:11] Like I said, I'm totaly new, so please bear with me. Should I make a new user for VM installation? [06:12] And which folder should I be tossing this dl file into and installing it? [06:12] schone, can you get to Ubuntu's advance boot menu while booting from that? [06:12] Scroll_Tro0L: after virtualbox install you can install any Os on it [06:12] varunendra: not sure i know what u mean by that [06:12] and export the appliance to any other OS - [06:13] Scroll_Tro0L: after install virtualbox, every ubuntu user can manage his own virtualx Os sessions [06:13] schone, the third picture on this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [06:13] ScrollTro0L: you don't need to create another user and you should be able to install virtual box from ubuntu software center [06:13] varunendra: no i cannot === Vobine is now known as Psychoholic [06:13] but i do have an option to add the persistent keyword to the boot options [06:13] not sure where it adds it tho [06:13] lotuspsychje, K. I just copy/pasted something for the repo. [06:13] Per ubuntu website instructions [06:14] Scroll_Tro0L: you can find it in software centre like spearhead sugested [06:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Installation [06:14] Using this [06:15] schone, normally it depends which bootloader you are using. In live USB it is usually "syslinux", in an optical media it is "isolinux". Not sure if it can be something else on a mac supported app. [06:15] this is 11.04 LTS on a PC with VirtualBox installed. [06:15] satellit_e: 11.04 is eol [06:15] varunendra: lets suppose its loads the kernel fine, how can I add an rw filesystem to it post fact [06:15] after its been created [06:15] 12.04 LTS sorry [06:15] satellit_e: :p [06:16] I'm using 12.04 [06:16] NOt 13 [06:16] Not* [06:16] * satellit_e (actually Linux Mint 13 cinnamon) [06:16] !mintsupport [06:16] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [06:17] oh, nvm. my bad [06:17] Hey guys [06:17] 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. [06:18] got ya [06:18] who can help me for SNMP ?? [06:18] ok thanks! [06:18] !details | sina_t [06:18] sina_t: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:19] OK, I want to add some MIBs to my new snmp intsalled, so I downloaded and put it in the right place but it's not work as good [06:20] 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? [06:22] schone, which program are you using to boot the ISO? Does it create a "syslinux.cfg" file? [06:22] no [06:23] its create a uefi boot [06:23] How do I change file permissions? Owner is root, so I can't delete pictures from a certain file. [06:25] thom_r: look for the chmod command. === LjL^ is now known as LjL [06:26] can you give me more details than that [06:26] chmod 777 filename [06:27] the above commands makes a file read, write and executable to the world. [06:27] it is still a very versatile command. [06:27] gksu imagewriter in mint 13 makes bootable USB sticks will it work with UEFI? [06:30] 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] hi [06:32] hello [06:34] how do I install ubuntu alongside windows in such a way that I can erase the ubuntu partition anytime and have windows working ? [06:34] you can get them both working in a dualboot [06:34] and choose when you boot [06:35] wait [06:35] yes. ianorlin [06:35] hkr, which version of Windows? EFI booting or traditional MBR based? [06:35] !grub | hkr [06:35] hkr: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:35] I have EFI bios but windows seems to be installed as MBR :\ [06:35] hkr: it works the other way around tho [06:36] what do you mean pvl1 ? [06:36] I can install grub again after removing linux ? [06:36] hkr: thats the point [06:36] if you remove grub [06:36] hkr, as far as I know, you can't boot an MBR based setup when EFI is enabled in BIOS. [06:36] you remove your bootloader, and cant get windows. [06:37] !wubi | hkr [06:37] hkr: Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way.

[06:38] My host has a custom kernel of ubuntu installed that's messing with the vbox install, can I change to another kernel with my current install or do I need to wipe? [06:39] 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] hkr: put it in another partition, or there might be a different bootloader you can load [06:39] do that ^^^ [06:39] pvl1:you mean VBR or PBR ? === _gypsy_ is now known as zz__gypsy_ [06:40] varunendra:why doesnt grub affect booting in GPT ? [06:40] hkr: not sure what you mean. i think varunendra will be able to help you better than i [06:40] hkr, because it gets installed in PBR, not MBR (there is nothing like MBR at all in the GPT scheme) [06:41] okay... so if i use gpt i can use windows boot manager as the default bootloader too, varunendra? [06:41] I have a problem, when I try to enable amd-v I go into the BIOS but I cant see where I could enable it. I have Uefi bios but I go into my BIOS setup [06:42] hkr, I haven't used EFI based booting myself yet, but I believe it provides its own boot menu, not that of Windows or Ubuntu or any other OS installed. [06:42] okay thanks a lot varunendra :D [06:43] np :) [06:43] Installed and set admin pass for ntop. how to start ntop ? i got error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6695395/ [06:43] hkr, one more thing, if it is an MBR based setup, just choose to install Grub on the Partition (not MBR), then in windows, use EasyBCD to add Ubuntu to Windows boot menu [06:44] dixoncx: perhaps sudo service ntop start [06:44] I have tried several options to delete the folder. It keeps telling me No such file or directory. [06:44] thom_r: maybe you already deleted it [06:44] varunendra: So will grub show up at boot or will the windows boot manager come up ? [06:44] nope, still there [06:44] what folder [06:45] pvl1, nope. but sudo ntop works. [06:45] can anyone help? [06:45] ViberDownloads [06:45] hkr, in the EasyBCD method, it'll be Windows Boot menu [06:45] dixoncx: what happens when you run that command [06:45] I just want to change the permissions from root to user [06:45] Okay. Thanks a lot :D [06:46] dixoncx, The manpage may help. http://www.ntop.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ntop-man.html [06:46] hkr, but perhaps you'll get (if you wish) the Grub menu too after choosing "Ubuntu" from Windows menu === cds is now known as thechris [06:46] thom_r: chown -R user:group EXACT/PATH which i feel is probably /home/Viber/Downloads [06:46] it's actually in documents [06:46] okay [06:46] thanks a lot, varunendra [06:46] but I will try that [06:46] thom_r: Documents [06:46] D not d [06:47] ok [06:47] I will get grub after choosing linux from the windows boot menu.

[07:26] right, I get that, but are the internals of Lubuntu different that Ubuntu? [07:26] sorry [07:27] rich, look on the web for the intrinsic details they are just different desktops.

Will linux automatically partition and resize the C:Drive ? [08:46] yes [08:46] sh simplez [08:46] ah [08:46] Angel_Of_Sorrow, what operating system do you currently have? [08:47] windows xp [08:47] nah [08:48] ok, I'm assuming you have powerful enough hardware to run Ubuntu well. If not I would suggest Lubuntu, or Zorin Lite. [08:49] i have 16gig of ram [08:50] do all linux's have that auto partition installation option? [08:50] Angel_Of_Sorrow: no [08:52] you should be fine with Ubuntu then [08:52] cool [08:52] hellow! my USB logitech keyboard is not working in tty (ctrl+alt+F1). Any idea? [08:53] I recommend 4 gigs for Ubuntu as a minimum. [08:57] I switched to te open source AMD Driver crashed and burned.. restrted to black screen had to use nomodeset to get a tty [08:58] How can I switch back to the binary driver from CLI now? [08:58] I think it is because I am using a very new Video chipset [09:00] Sorry if anyone answered I missed it [09:00] 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^ [09:01] ties: standard answer: recover from backup [09:02] +1 [09:02] ties: you may try photorec or similar tools but if they will have more success.... [09:02] 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" [09:03] 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] Could my chipset be to new for the open source driver? [09:03] ties: "clicked" so some GUI-acions? doesn't your gui has a trashbin to recover from? [09:03] also how can I switch back to the binary driver? [09:05] 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... [09:06] 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 [09:07] ties: and for the future you should think about some automatic backup-solutions. as you see, manual backups won't work [09:08] llutz: ya.... I thought it would work out... but one wrong click and disaster strikes... darn.... [09:13] Hi [09:13] How can I send a text in a form field using w3m? Simple Enter doesn't work. [09:20] I get this in Dmesg: [09:20] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.VGA_.AF03] [09:21] and if I use the open source ATI/AMD Driver I get a black screen which responds t nothing.. [09:24] Is 12.04 the latest LTS? [09:24] <_polto_> anyone, I need to restore a 8.04 and install some packages. I did find the CD , but repositories listed in /etc/apt/sources.list are no longer available. where can I find a mirror pls ? [09:25] <_polto_> Name141, yes next will be in April. [09:25] _polto_: I think that one still has the ATi support for 4670 ? [09:25] As in ATi/AMD drivers? [09:26] I think 8400 just inst supported by the open source driver yet [09:26] Hellow! Is it OK if I do sudo apt-get purge nvidia* and then sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ??? [09:26] Is there some site that lists all the Video chipsets and their support and such? [09:27] <_polto_> Name141, no idea. [09:28] _polto_: I guess I don't really need acceloration less I am going to try Steam on the machine? === Plinker__ is now known as Plinker [09:28] kubanc: are you just trying to reinstall? [09:28] <_polto_> Name141, some window manager use 3d acceleration also. [09:30] with ATi drivers [09:30] _polto_: So is there any reason I might want to revert back to a previous release? [09:30] <_polto_> Name141, I do not know your particular needs ;) [09:30] 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] _polto_: I'm basically just using the machine as a backup now [09:31] since I replaced XP with Ubuntu [09:32] <_polto_> If 12.04 LTS is doing the job you should stick to it. If not, I would install 13.10 and upgrade to LTS as soon as it will be available. You need to try ... [09:32] <_polto_> Name141, .. [09:32] kubanc: purge should get rid of residual files, so yeah those commands should be fine. no guarantee if it helps your situation or not [09:32] Can I set ecrypfs in reverse? [09:33] _polto_: I figure I will go back to the LTS just to be left alone longer [09:33] kubanc: i'm not sure if it would be necessary to remove and purge all nvidia pkgs though] [09:33] Can I use ecrypfs to keep all my files in plaintext on the drive, but to present a folder with encrypted versions of all the files? [09:33] kubanc: you could just try installing nvidia-current first [09:34] <_polto_> anyone, I need to restore a 8.04 and install some packages. I did find the CD , but repositories listed in /etc/apt/sources.list are no longer available. where can I find a mirror pls ? [09:34] aeon-ltd, well I already purged it :D [09:35] kubanc: :) [09:36] is there a way to dd (or other) /dev/sda but ignore certain partitions? [09:37] aeon-ltd, ok, the desktop is showing now... [09:37] aeon-ltd, THNX for help [09:37] glambert: sda would do the whole drive [09:38] I know [09:38] I've got ubuntu and windows 8 dual booted and I want to back up the windows partitions [09:38] glambert: but partitions are designated sdax, i think that would work though i've rarely used dd [09:38] what's sdax? [09:39] glambert: are you sure something like clonezilla might be better? [09:39] plan is to back up everything windows into an image file and then resize ubuntu to fill disk [09:39] glambert: sda x as in a number e.g. sda1 [09:39] then I can either VM my windows partition or just keep it until I ever need to restore it [09:39] 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] aeon-ltd, ah, sorry [09:41] I'd prefer not to have to do anything with live disks or usbs [09:41] mainly because I have neither available atm :) === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [09:41] dd is safest from live envronments [09:41] glambert, what's the end goal, what you trying to do ? [09:42] using dd whilst booted could lead to unbootable copies [09:42] 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 [09:43] and then resize ubuntu to fill disk rather than half of it [09:43] which I will need a live disk for at that point [09:44] 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. [09:45] windows has backup facilities? do they actually function? [09:46] 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. [09:47] 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] hmm, OK, will look into it. Where does it store the backup files? [09:48] 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. [09:49] 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) [09:50] 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. [09:51] 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. [09:53] SaberX01, ok thanks, will keep looking into it [09:53] Even though a /dev/mapper/sda6_crypt exists here. [09:54] 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. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [09:55] 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 ? [09:57] I dunno if I need latest AMD Binary or wha [09:57] 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] But I cant even use the open source driver [09:57] and the Binary in the repos is buggy [09:57] Like if I use Cinnamon is wrecks my system [09:58] jgcampbell300, additionally, having ssh access to roo in itself is also a risk, one in shich I always disable on my servers. [09:58] SaberX01, so i problaby should do it to add more security but use a passphrase as well [09:58] SaberX01, ahh .. so how do you manage them ... ssh then sudo [09:58] jgcampbell300, I do ssh-key for a normal user, then if I need sudo / root, I change manually or via a script if needed. [09:59] SaberX01, sounds good ... thanks [10:00] jgcampbell300, Here's some good config tip info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring [10:00] SaberX01, cool thank you [10:01] i cant rember how to turn off all the extra info "people leaveing entering in chat here" with xchat [10:01] hellow! Any ideas why my fonts aren't smooth in ubuntu 12.10? [10:01] 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. [10:02] whats the codename for 13.10? [10:02] saucy? [10:02] 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] Yes [10:03] saucy salamander [10:03] jgcampbell300, Until you have PW-Less login working, e.g. via SSH-Keys, do not disable PW login. [10:03] 14.04 is Trusty Tahr [10:04] ciao [10:04] SaberX01, ahh ok gotcha ... sounds like a plan .. i am so sick of entering a password for every diffrent ssh i start [10:04] 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. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [10:06] 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. [10:08] 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 .. [10:11] I need to backup my Xorg.cong but its not where I am used to it being... [10:11] ubotu, help [10:11] conf [10:11] Used to be in /etc/x11 [10:13] 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 [10:14] SaberX01, or im sure i could make some kind of small script to create and upload to my storage server [10:14] What is the term for an install with no gui? [10:14] Trying to find proper guides [10:15] Scroll, i think your looking for installing a server [10:15] Scroll, im pretty sure like ubuntu 12.04 server has no gui [10:15] Server is installed, I want to find a guide for starting apps on server start. But they're all for the desktop-looking version of ubuntu [10:15] Scroll, oh headless [10:16] Awesome, thanks. [10:16] 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] *via ssh [10:17] jgcampbell300, and they two keys are offline encrypted, so if anyone does get hold of them, good luck busing the key :-) [10:18] If I want to make a user only for executing a certain script, I just make a user without a password and access it via sudo? [10:18] SaberX01, hmm that sounds like what i was thinking about doing ... i have been dumping all of my time into replacing peoples windows environments with linux and theres alot of people wanting my help [10:18] SaberX01, hmm define offline encrypted [10:18] Scroll yes [10:19] jgcampbell300, gpg encryption [10:19] SaberX01, ahh ok [10:20] jgcampbell300, Like: tar cfJ - some-key-pair | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e > some-key-pair.tar.xz [10:20] Scroll: adduser --gecos "" --disabled-password usernameforaccount [10:20] SaberX01, i have so much work to do on my network its not funny ... the last few months have been crazy ... im running backups right now .. hopefully ill have time today to make some long needed changes [10:21] SaberX01, ya im glad you said that gona put that in my notes ... 256bit ? [10:21] Yeah,.. ubless you have a super-computer cluster handy for a few years, 256 probably pretty safe bet :-) [10:23] SaberX01, lol aye [10:23] SaberX01, what irc client do you use [10:23] hitsujiTMO, Now just sudo -u user ./script.sh?

[12:36] shaun__: IO error, stale mount lock, incredible number of inodes, etc. [12:36] shaun__: check dmesg first [12:36] cristian_c: told by who exactly?

[12:37] HisaoNakai, the have talked generally about dbus, not bustle in particular [12:37] I've looked for dbus monitor applications [12:37] cristian_c: why would the system be able to see the battery level of a keyboard? [12:38] cristian_c gentoo users are ueber-geeks, they use solutions way over our heads [12:39] MonkeyDust: s/over our heads/somethings far from reality/ ;) Just my 2 cents. [12:39] 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] MonkeyDust: that's just a stupid thing to say [12:39] please don't make up stuff like that and feed it to users, it's just nonsense [12:39] Allot of KB's support that function and more in Win, especially the Logitec Gaming KB's. [12:40] SaberX01: yes, via 3rd party propitary software [12:40] cristian_c: so your end goal is to be able to see the power level of a keyboard's battery?

[13:02] can udev go into the bios and change stuff? [13:02] dn4: no [13:03] ikonia: Thank you very much [13:03] then why did my bios settings get changed followed by mod probe cpu lockup due to udev ? [13:04] in sort are there any config files for update-manager where does it save its settings? [13:04] SaberX01, ok [13:04] dn4: what bios settings got changed exactly? typically an os cannot write to the bios settings [13:04] dn4, which bios settings get changed ? [13:04] gconf? [13:05] hitsujiTMO, or have I to try other applications to detect hardware with dbus? [13:05] :) [13:05] dn4, or are you changing the bios settings and forgetting to save them and blaming udev [13:05] it was a video setting [13:05] cristian_c: i'm not sure what bustle is tbh, so no idea [13:06] and now my machine won't boot up regularly and I have to use the recovery mode [13:06] hitsujiTMO, ok [13:06] dn4: what exact setting? video setting isn't exactly a bios setting [13:07] dn4: what is your gpu?

I seriously doubt that upgrading from win7 to win8 will be any less damaging to ubuntu [13:30] Hello guys . i am having a big problem in installing Ubuntu ( i tried all different sorts of other Linux Distros) [13:30] I'm getting a ubuntu-based VPS, I'm still a beginner at linux, should i install 32bits or 64? any ideas? [13:30] 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] I cant afford to lose anything [13:31] ashoksahoo, then stay with win7 [13:31] ashoksahoo: Create backups. Unless your data is not worth to be kept. [13:31] merandus, 64 [13:31] 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] what do you think i should do? [13:31] !netsplit [13:31] 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] Mohamd: Investigate the error :) [13:31] 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] SaberX01: any reasons? imy vp has 2gb memory by the way [13:31] 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 [13:32] james-: are those ntfs drives? [13:32] bekks : do you think i should re supply a new hard disk? [13:32] Mohamd, what's the problem ,give some details [13:32] Mohamd: I think you should investigate the error. [13:32] wait.. [13:32] merandus, All my server are 64 .. come to think of it, I only have one box that's not 64. [13:33] 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] 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] Installation failed : installer encountered an error copying files to the hardisk [13:33] [erno 5] input and output error [13:33] Mohamd: Yeah, then type: dmesg and see which errors occured. [13:33] 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. [13:34] dmesg? [13:34] Mohamd: Yes, dmesg [13:34] SaberX01: so for having both 64/32 support i just go with 64? [13:34] merandus: Yes. [13:34] bekks : im not on the linux now , because i cant install it [13:35] SaberX01: if i go 32bit, then i won't be able to work 64bit packages/codes or something [13:35] merandus: Correct. Using 32bit, you cannot use 64bit. But you can use 32bit when being on 64bit. [13:35] merandus, Yup, if ya need 32bit support, just add ia32-libs .. and go from there. [13:35] as soon as that error pops .. then it shows up that the launcher has crashed [13:36] bekks: oh i see [13:36] so i'll guess i just go with 64.

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] Phoenixxl: doesn't work like that with upstart [13:42] ikonia, i know i'm not talking about upstart [13:42] Phoenixxl: what are you talking about then, as upstart is the init system for ubuntu [13:43] 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] ikonia, update-rc.d [13:43] hello all [13:43] Phoenixxl: update-rc.d is for SYSV init, which is not used by Ubuntu. [13:43] Hello, Can someone help me with some graphics related issue on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [13:43] SaberX01, ok [13:44] SaberX01, #ubuntu-offtopic? [13:44] bekks, sure it is [13:44] bekks, server 12.04.3 uses it when installing openpn [13:45] Phoenixxl: The init system of Ubuntu is upstart, not SYSV [13:45] cristian_c, I dont think so, but maybe. Id' go to the MFG and ask them about Linux support of the product. [13:45] 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] Hello, A little support needed here! [13:45] maksimkaaa: that is not dates function [13:46] ikonia: is there another tool for that? or should i write a program for that? [13:46] SaberX01, mfg as manufacturing? [13:46] maksimkaaa: a shell script would work just fine [13:46] cristian_c, yes, MFG = manufacturer of the product. [13:46] ok [13:47] bekks, I just need to know where the sequence numbers are stored [13:47] SaberX01, but I think it dowsn't know linux [13:47] *doesn't [13:47] ikonia: a shell script? what exactly will it do and where will it get its tz info from ? [13:47] Phoenixxl: In the name of the file in /rcX.d/ [13:47] bekks, danted starts too early [13:47] Is there anyone who can help with graphics related UNITY interface on ubuntu?? [13:47] Phoenixxl: /etc/rcX.d/ [13:47] almost all input manufacturers don't know lnux [13:47] +i [13:47] !anyone| Madhurjya [13:47] bekks, when they are generated [13:48] 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] bekks, they must have a template with a default [13:48] Phoenixxl: When installing the package. They arent generated, they are just copied from the package archive. [13:48] bekks, how else would sudo get to 75 for example [13:48] maksimkaaa: then just put that in a script so you can cll time zones [13:48] Phoenixxl: From the package archive it was installed from. [13:48] bekks, ok we're getting somewhere now [13:48] bekks, and where is that stored ? [13:49] maksimkaaa, quick example, type isn the terminal: TZ=CET date; TZ=UTC date; TZ=Hongkong date; TZ=Montreal date [13:49] Phoenixxl: Do you know what a .deb file is? [13:49] bekks, do you know what sarcasm is ? [13:49] bekks, i'd apreciate yopu hold back [13:50] Ok so I found what I did... I had my mounted drives on my unity launcher and accidently clicked unlock from launcher. Now when I try to mount a volume it don't show in Unity, and I can't figure out how to make it so they go back to the launcher when I mount them. Is it possible to go back"?

[13:53] bekks, i don't know however where it is conventional to store a sequence number , and i'd really lkike to know that [13:54] which package is involved by "window-stack-br[1820]: segfault at 8 ip" [13:54] 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 === zz_whitenite is now known as whitenite [13:54] Phoenixxl: I told you that the sequence number is stored in the filename only. [13:54] 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] bekks, when generating defaults it always generates the same number [13:55] bekks, it doesn't read the deb to do that [13:55] Phoenixxl: It does NOT generate whatsoever. [13:55] Phoenixxl: The sequence number i stored statically, in the filename. [13:55] Phoenixxl: If you dont want to accept that, I am out. [13:55] pc, yep! But it crashes in the logon screen,itself [13:56] bekks, update-rc.D -f someservice remove [13:56] Madhurjya, probably caused with lightdm manager - tried to reinstall it? [13:56] Phoenixxl: whatever.

(It's an old system) [13:57] bekks, it doesn't read the .deb again [13:57] Phoenixxl: Of course. because it is stored statically in the file name. [13:57] Phoenixxl: When will you accept that fact? [13:57] bekks, so it must be stored somewhere [13:57] Phoenixxl: In the filename. [13:57] Phoenixxl: I told you five times now. [13:58] hi [13:58] anyone here? [13:58] bekks, the "file name" is gone after doing a remove [13:58] Madhurjya, yes I think yes - I use older Ubuntu on older system, my experience is old system- older Ubuntu [13:58] Phoenixxl: It isnt. It still lifes in /etc/init.d/ [13:58] how can I stop windows sticking to the top bar in Unity? [13:59] bekks, the init script yes , but that doesn't contain the sequence number [13:59] bekks, it's the first place i looked [13:59] 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 [13:59] pc, Should I try Xubuntu or Lubuntu? [13:59] Madhurjya: Depends on your personal choice. [14:00] Phoenixxl: you may be looking for where update-rc.d is actually being called. Check the install config or post install script [14:00] 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 [14:01] 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] gordonjcp, I think they call that sticky edges .. there's some compiz config stuff for it, not sure exactly where it's at.

[14:06] SaberX01: makes no difference, and I believe that's only for multiple monitors [14:06] Madhurjya: So which nvidia driver did you install? [14:06] hitsujiTMO, yes , thnx I looked it's hardcoded in the install script , sadly . That means I'll have to manually redo the dante entry if it ever gets updated . bah. thnx. [14:06] do we already have some ubuntu roms for tf300 or razrhd? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [14:07] gordonjcp,yeah, I have 3 monitors, so maybe why that works there.

[14:18] MonkeyDust, no but i'm willing to learn :) [14:18] it, yes , but ask in #ubuntu-studio [14:19] 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] copy paste is your friend:) [14:19] 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] jonez813: you may well have more than one superblock [14:20] how do u install samba4 [14:20] vboxuser, Yeah, usbmount is not installed by default on the server. [14:20] 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] !info samba4 [14:20] 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] anton02: apt-get install samba4 [14:20] zzz ok, great [14:20] gordonjcp: i have done mke2fs -n to find the superblocks, and tried mount -b *allsuperblockslisted* with no luck [14:20] MonkeyDust, even though it recognizes it I don't see a place to select format [14:20] 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? [14:21] bekks: nice [14:21] 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] anton02: I told you the same a few days ago :) [14:21] SaberX01, or even something like this---> https://github.com/LemonBoy/ldm [14:22] vboxuser, I dont know what that's talking about, Windows part. [14:22] zzz or simply "delete"? [14:22] bekks: lol it wasnt me i dont think [14:22] MonkeyDust, delete is also gray [14:23] zzz odd... maybe you have to unmount it first, does that make sense? [14:23] 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. [14:24] 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 :) [14:25] 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] 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] is it possible to disable the autohide feature of scribes? [14:25] MonkeyDust, nope, i unmounted and gparted dont see it [14:25] jjavaholic: do you like coffee for the taste or the caffeine? [14:25] zzz in time, you'll be the one helping others [14:25] vboxuser: write an udev-rule, here are some ideas how http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 [14:26] what about both? [14:26] jjavaholic: or are you referring to the programming language? [14:27] 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. === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [14:27] vboxuser, You can edit /etc/udev/rules.d/85-my_rule.rules [14:27] programming language [14:27] vboxuser, if you know your device id and vendor ID [14:28] im sort of a caffeineholic [14:28] llutz ty for link [14:28] vboxuser, ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="YOURVENDORID", SYSFS{idProduct}=="YOURPRODUCTID", RUN+="YOURSCRIPT" [14:28] llutz, will be a looong study. Thins I've never seen before [14:29] 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] vboxuser, you can have it mounted when inserted using that script [14:29] Phoenixxl, the funny thing I've nevere scripted in my life!!! :p [14:29] MonkeyDust, Should I try formatting using the overwrite existing data with 0's (slow) ? What does it mean to do that? [14:30] vboxuser: there is always a 1st time, so good luck [14:30] if you've used a command prompt you're half way set [14:30] llutz, something I need to know/read/study to learn some basic scripting? [14:30] yuo're all talking about bash-scripting? [14:30] 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. [14:31] vboxuser: for a start it would be helpful to know how to use a cli-editor like vim/nano/mcedit/... [14:31] 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] vboxuser, ash yes, it's basically listing commands to perform and having the ability to put in iterations and selections. [14:32] vboxuser, all programming is sequences , interations and selections. [14:32] 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] vboxuser, if you can program in one language you can program in any [14:32] vboxuser, may as well get used to scripts now, you gonna do allot of editing to set things up. [14:33] So... I can use nano. But how someone do/learn bash-scripting??? [14:33] Yes [14:33] from where should I start? :p [14:33] Nano my editor of choice [14:33] vboxuser: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [14:33] ^^ that's a good place to start, then the LDP Advanced Bash Scripting Guide as well.

Entering here to ask how to automount devices and exiting learning bash scripting... :p === g_hpc_geek is now known as ghartmann [14:36] hey [14:36] gpe-tetris is too small screen-wise, can someone recommend a good, safe tetris to install locally on Ubuntu? [14:36] vboxuser, chmod + x the file [14:36] MonkeyDust, can you make sure i'm right? According to the output of lsblk and the info on the site would i do sudo fdisk /sdb/sdb1? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697156/ [14:36] Phoenixxl: #!/bin/bash if he follows those guides, or he'll get some suprises later [14:36] SaberX01, I'm old , lol [14:36] trying to install emacs now. [14:37] /bin/sh goes to Dash anyway [14:37] :D [14:37] stupid irc [14:38] half my computers are BSD [14:38] Man, I tried for ages to get used to emacs .. never could get comfy with that one, allthough allot of folks like it. [14:38] THE HORROR [14:38] zzz good, you're already learning, now be careful [14:39] MonkeyDust, awesome :) I will try it now [14:40] MonkeyDust, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697257/ [14:42] zzz what are you trying to do? [14:42] this irc is full of enemies === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [14:42] zzz it's sdb, not sdb1 [14:42] think he needs /dev/sdb1 not /sdb/sdb1 [14:42] hello [14:43] is this a support channel for ubuntu?

MonkeyDust Ill try sdb instead one sec [14:45] MonkeyDust, like this? sudo fdisk /sdb === hub is now known as Guest92618 [14:45] zzz: fdisk doesn't format. it only sets partition tables. how exactly is gparted not letting you format? === ricardo is now known as Guest74483 [14:45] ok [14:46] PART [14:46] i installed ubuntu on a friends pc [14:46] and wifi was working proper [14:46] now wifi doesnt work any more [14:46] hitsujiTMO, when I right click on the drive format is grayed out, and delete, is grayed out. When I go to files and right click on the drive I can click format, when I do it looks like it's going to work and the drive flashes then everything stops and the drive dont format. [14:46] dimitris: can you pastebin the output of: lspci from that machine? [14:47] PART [14:47] zzz: sudo fdisk -l to be sure your going to be working on proper device (drive, partition) once you have determined which drive you would run "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" IF you found that to be true via the output of "fdisk -l" [14:47] zzz: is there an (!) by the drive name? [14:47] dimitris sometimes it helps to disable additional drivers for wifi adapter [14:47] and reboot [14:47] guys i am not very good with these.... [14:47] i need very detailed help...

[14:51] Keanu73: are you new? [14:51] sheck on wikipedia [14:51] zzz: all you want to do is to format your usb-drive? "sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1" [14:51] zzz: are you just trying to format as fat32? [14:51] !samba [14:51] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

If I run "gem -v" from my terminal, I get the current version, but "sudo gem -v" says "sudo: gem: command not found". Why could that happen? === Guest74483 is now known as Chr0nicle [14:52] !samba4 [14:52] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697324/ there wasnt any output it didnt throw an error but it didnt do anything either. llutz yes thats all i wanna do is format the drive :) [14:52] zzz: mount not : mount sorry [14:53] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697329/ [14:53] anton02: Is this samba?: http://www.samba.org/ [14:53] bittyx, If I recall correctly, it's setup that way so RVM is installed per user, in the $USER home dirs and not at the system level. [14:54] zzz: its mounted. thats why it can't be formatted. use the command llutz specified to umount and format it. [14:54] SaberX01: So I *can't* run "gem" through sudo, but I also don't need to? [14:54] is there a good GUI alarm software?

[14:56] ah [14:56] zzz:sudo umount /media/james/PENDRIVE [14:57] how can I load ubuntu to a pc and let it run only one app [14:57] bittyx, As far as needign too .. I dont think so, RVM is installed in the users /home .. so it has nothgin to do with system paths, therefore, sudo no needed. [14:57] hey im testing, please ignore [14:57] NisstrX: kiosk-mode is what you're looking for [14:57] SaberX01: Okay, it seems this is also causing different problems ("gem install sass" works, but "sass" is not in my path after that, so I can't run it at all), so I'll try and ask elsewhere, somewhere ruby or sass specific. Thanks! [14:58] Will i get any good performance gaming on amd? [14:58] hitsujiTMO, the command Kruppt gave me worked, sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1. Im going to put this in my notes, will I always have to use the command line to format my drives? [14:58] hello can i pm someone to help me on ubuntu? [14:58] bittyx, That's what Id' recommend, asking in #ruby or #gem .. but Im pretty sure you dont need sudo for gems. === jan is now known as Guest46510 [15:00] zzz: no, just make sure you unmount the filesystem before trying to format the partition. you can unmount in gparted too [15:01] hitsujiTMO can you please help me? [15:02] Hello everyone: does anyone how to uninstall Ubuntu from an old macbook in order to install lubuntu? [15:02] dimitris: can you pastebin the output of: lspci from that machine? its a terminal command [15:02] and why? [15:02] Jacob999, Just install right over top is you dont need anythign off the machine first. [15:03] so i just type lspci on terminal and press enter? [15:03] u can install package lubuntu-desktop [15:03] sudo apt-get install lubuntu desktop [15:04] will sudo apt-get install lubuntu desktop uninstall ubuntu? [15:04] That depends on how old the orig Ubuntu install is, it's it's 10.04 or before that wont work. [15:04] <3 [15:04] hitsujiTMO i did that and got a big list on terminal [15:04] Jacob999, What version is your original Ubuntu install ? [15:05] dimitris: can you copy the output and paste it to paste.ubuntu.com then copy the url here [15:05] looking it up now. I think its fairly recent. [15:05] ok [15:05] hitsujiTMO, For some reason I can't unmount anywhere [15:05] gpe-tetris is too small screen-wise, can someone recommend a good, safe tetris to install locally on Ubuntu? [15:06] LOL [15:06] ubuntu 12.10 [15:07] im using kali linux and joined irc to look for vics [15:07] Jacob999: It's ok [15:07] !ot | it_ [15:07] it_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:07] hitsujiTMO, ok i restarted gparted and was able to unmount. but I still have the problem. When I right click and select format it dont do anything [15:07] lulz [15:07] awesome thanks [15:07] emacs is useless for tetris. [15:08] zzz: hmm, thats a little odd [15:08] zzz: but does it format from the command line? [15:08] would this be the place to ask ubuntu 13.04 arm questions? [15:09] hitsujiTMO i did what you told me what i do next? === Gasseus is now known as Rallias [15:09] dimitris: can you paste the link it generate here please [15:09] Jacob999, so ya got two options, just install lubuntu-desktop or dl the lubuntu ISO and fresh 13.10 over top, which probably better idea as 12.10 no longer supported. [15:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697410/ [15:10] this? [15:10] Okey, just formated a drive to etx4 using Gparted, but I have no right to use it drive, cannot write anything on it [15:10] says that root is owner so i cant change the security settings [15:10] !permissions | Blackkatt [15:10] Blackkatt: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [15:10] are you reading contents from my term? [15:11] saberx01, okay so you would recommend me updating ubuntu to 13.10? [15:11] WARN: / is world writable! [15:11] WARN: / is group writable! [15:11] cool [15:12] what is this? [15:12] Jacob999, I would yes, 13.04 is about EOL, 13.10 is EOL in Apr-2014 .. then 14.04 is Live LTS. [15:12] a sandwich [15:12] hitsujiTMO: is it easy to fix you think? [15:12] it_: do you have anything ubuntu-related to say? this is not a place for your random nonsense [15:12] ok by [15:12] 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] Hey, I hope someone can answer me a quick licensing question. [15:13] 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] !ops llutz [15:13] Blackkatt: because only root can do what you did. [15:13] llutz, yes, but how do i set the owner to "me" ? [15:13] saberx01, alright ill give it a shot. thanks [15:13] Jacob999, I take that back, 13.10 is EOL in July 2014 not APR [15:13] Blackkatt: man chown [15:13] i use the GUI version i totally new to this [15:13] dimitris: can you pastebin output of: rfkill list all [15:13] man chroot [15:13] of gparted that is [15:14] Saberx01, okay well ill try that. Thank you. [15:14] Jacob999, The you can do a release-upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 in April, should good to go then. [15:14] hitsujiTMO: and then do the link thing again? [15:14] hitsujiTMO, yes it formats using sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1 [15:14] zzz you made it? [15:14] dimitris: yes, same again [15:14] it_: Do you have a support issue, please don't use the !op's trigger unless it is a channel emergency [15:15] zzz: may be an issue with gparted then. sounds a little unusual [15:15] is there a better irc app then loqui for ubuntu? [15:16] 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] hitsujiTMO: i get nothing back with this commant [15:16] coolbob-arm xchat and irssi are popular [15:18] dimitris: ok then, try: lspci -knn | grep Network -A 3 [15:18] 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] 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] coolbob-arm, IRC client info, lots to choose form: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [15:18] hitsujiTMO, yes unusual to me as well [15:19] LOL why does ubuntu detects my monitor as a 22 inch goldstar when its a 23 inch [15:19] it might be a 22.9 inch but is marketed as a 23 [15:19] ausjke_: is it called with full path or do they set extra environment in crontab for it? [15:19] what he said ^^^ 22.99" [15:19] its not goldstar [15:19] hitsujiTMO: how do i put this line on my keyboard after -knn? [15:20] llutz: neither, but this is the 'default' ubuntu files [15:20] I WIN ubuntu SYCKS [15:20] what kind of monitor is it?

But all I need to do is sudoapt-get install lubuntu desktop? [15:21] I wanna get ubuntu LogBot in my channel :D [15:21] flammi: When the manufacturer requires Windows to do so, then there is no other way. [15:22] bekks: the firmware update is packaged in an exe ... [15:22] flammi: Then it requires Windows :) [15:22] is there a recommended app to use google drive? [15:22] when i try and boot from ubuntu it starts says booting/loading ubuntu the boots back into KDE. [15:23] bekks: hmm... i hoped that it is not necessary to install windows on my laptop... [15:23] bekks: but thx ;-) [15:23] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697490/ [15:23] anyone? [15:23] 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 [15:24] http://sprunge.us/UbOG [15:24] 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] dimitris: which version of ubuntu did you say this was again? [15:24] #ubuntu-studio [15:24] when i try and boot from ubuntu it starts says booting/loading ubuntu the boots back into KDE. [15:25] this is perfectly reproducible if you install bluez-alsa on x64 and then you simply go with this python code: [15:25] >>> import pyaudio [15:25] >>> p = pyaudio.PyAudio() [15:25] dimitris: can you also tell me the output of: sudo modprobe iwlwifi [15:25] hitsujiTMO: ubuntu 13.10 32bit [15:26] when i try and boot from ubuntu it starts says booting/loading ubuntu the boots back into KDE. [15:26] 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] try av linux [15:26] 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. [15:27] 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] 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] but so far no one as provided a solution as far as i know [15:28] (that bug was actually reported in 2009..) [15:28] blacklight, maybe refreshing it with new data will bring it out more I dont know. [15:29] hello folks [15:29] hi folks, which linux/ubuntu distribution would you suggest for an acer aspire one with 1GB of RAM and CPU at 1.6GHz ? [15:30] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697519/ [15:30] sk1pper: lubuntu or xubuntu [15:30] /msg NickServ identify k@cl6jat [15:30] blacklight, also, could go into #ubuntu-bugs and ask about the disposition there as well. [15:30] All distros [15:30] llutz, btw next time recommend the already installed app for Ubuntu "Disks" it formats and set right permissions (me) [15:30] gauss: time to change password [15:30] SaberX01: thanks i'll try that ^^ [15:30] blacklight: i won't [15:30] dimitris: do you know how to load an older kernel from the grub menu? [15:30] llutz, strange as it just did! [15:30] hitsujiTMO: thanks, where can I download from? [15:31] hitsujiTMO: unfotunately no my friend [15:31] sk1pper: all the releases are here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [15:31] 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 [15:32] hitsujiTMO: okay, thanks [15:32] llutz, its installed by default, thats why i mention it [15:33] 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] 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] is someone using AirOS? [15:33] Blackkatt: does it also come with mini.iso, server, lubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu? [15:34] so next n00b that comes in, you can tell them instead making them even more confused [15:34] llutz, oh am sry, i thought i was in the ubuntu channel, ooooh snap I am :p [15:34] zale [15:34] Ohh u just got burnt [15:35] zzz: you need yo add a display-setup-script to lightdm that calls that command [15:35] who? [15:35] Blackkatt: you are but given flavours are supported here too === zz__gypsy_ is now known as _gypsy_ [15:35] hitsujiTMO, sounds promising but i'm a lost noob lol [15:35] hitsujiTMO: do you mean restart the laptop and then push esc or shift? who is the bios screen? [15:35] naab [15:36] anyone using mint? [15:36] the arabic version of ubuntu [15:36] is it possible to show transfer speed when moving/copying ? [15:36] dimitris: the bios screen is the initial screen that comes on when you boot [15:36] nm [15:36] !offtopic | it_ [15:36] it_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:36] it came up after a few seconds :) [15:36] I'm so loving Ubuntu [15:37] ubuntu will love you back [15:37] it_, hahaha good to know ;9 [15:37] Blackkatt, depends of the app your using. rsync, curl, wget all do that sort of thing. [15:37] 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. [15:39] SaberX01, what now? [15:39] dl speeds [15:39] or xfer speeds you asked about [15:39] SaberX01, aah, i was talking about copy/moving [15:39] zzz: try adding a file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-synclient.conf with the contents: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697553/ [15:39] from drive to drive [15:39] hitsujiTMO: sorry cant find it... anyway.... i think i bothered you alot... thank you very much for your time [15:40] how do i flash bios firmware on ubuntu? [15:40] it_ flashrom [15:40] cool [15:41] hello everyone ! [15:41] hitsujiTMO: sorry cant find it... anyway.... i think i bothered you alot... thank you very much for your time [15:41] happy new year [15:42] does anyone know how to run xchat from behind a https proxy .. i cannot ise xchat because of it [15:42] if you make it [15:42] 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] 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] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697575/ [15:43] blacklight, Blackkatt and if you want a nice little progress bar, pipe it though an app called: pv [15:43] blacklight, thnx no need it came up after a few seconds on the transfer bar [15:43] zzz: i meant for you to create the file. it doesn't exist [15:44] 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... [15:44] can i use that with eufi bios? [15:44] jonez813: have you already tried fsck -y on the drive? [15:45] jonez813: if it took a dive then its most likely physical damage. is there any rattling when you shake it? [15:45] blacklight: not that specific command, used fsck already, i will try that command [15:46] antontimed out :/ [15:46] jonez813: can you check the smart data for the drive [15:46] it_: if it supports you uefi then yes [15:46] your* [15:46] hitsujiTMO: i dont think physical damage, no symptoms like clicking or rattling it can mount the boot partition, just not the root [15:47] i am behind a https proxy of my institute .. i want to use xchat on ubuntu 12.04 .. i tried changing settings in xchat but there are no options to change the type of proxy to https .. when i use http , i get a forbidden error .. can anyone please help [15:47] use webchat [15:48] joker__, http://xchat.org/faq/#q25 [15:48] tiger question [15:48] triger [15:48] i tried that but there is no option to change proxy type to https [15:49] use webchat [15:49] joker__, Exactly, faq #25 says: is only supported for HTTP and Socks5. [15:49] hes no joker SaberX01 [15:50] blacklight: fsck -y returned fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/mapper/hpbun--vg-root http://pastebin.com/8wLh1vKw [15:50] hitsujiTMO: i will look into checking the smart data [15:51] Good day! Tell me please, which squid log analyzers can save page titles? [15:51] joker__, No I do not know off top of my head, but you could start reading up on these clients: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [15:53] SaberX01 , thanks a lot .. i will try finding one .. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler === nuru is now known as Guest5611 [15:58] hitsujiTMO, im lost on how to create it [15:59] hitsujiTMO: it would smart data is not available on this device. [15:59] hitsujiTMO: *appear* [16:00] zzz: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-synclient.conf then paste the text: ctrl + o to save. ctrl + x to close [16:01] hi all [16:02] you hou [16:04] hitsujiTMO, I did it but it didn't work [16:05] hello === zenix` is now known as zenix`away === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [16:07] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6697728/ [16:08] zzz: hmm. may need to be done in the user session. try adding the command to ~/.xprofile [16:10] zzz: might aswell: sudo rm /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-synclient.conf [16:11] hitsujiTMO: would lightdm load the configs at login or boot? he might need to restart for it to load them... [16:11] hitsujiTMO, james@james-Inspiron-N4010:~$ ~/.xprofile [16:11] bash: /home/james/.xprofile: No such file or directory [16:12] hello everyone [16:13] hitsujiTMO, ~/c.xprofile didn [16:14] zzz: again: nano ~/.xprofile add the single line line: synclient tapbutton1=1 [16:15] hitsujiTMO, should I restart to see if it works? [16:15] Where are the stream saved files stored in the PC? http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/vlc-streaming.html [16:15] zzz: just relog [16:15] hitsujiTMO, ok one sec [16:16] hitsujiTMO, still didn't take place :/ === redrocket is now known as redrocket|DEN [16:17] My question was about VLC..... just in case you didn't notice.... [16:17] zzz: i'm out of idea then. ~/.xprofile is souced by lightdm when you login. so it anthing should work then that should [16:18] hitsujiTMO, when I type nemo ~/ .xprofile synclient tapbutton1=1 shows in it [16:21] 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... [16:24] !foo [16:24] [baz|bar|wibble] [16:24] o.o [16:24] !foo is bar [16:24] damn [16:25] lol [16:26] cristian_c: Excuse me? o.o [16:26] hello hitsujiTMO :) remember me? :P [16:30] spearhead: What would happen if I did not click next and went ahead with stream? Shouldn't the file be saved somewhere by default? [16:32] 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] hitsujiTMO: this is a LVM that im trying to mount, not sure if i said that originally [16:33] A1Recon, they are most likely in ~/Downlaods/ if you've not changed any preference, or so the docs say. [16:33] A1Recon: but I am pretty sure it is not saved because you cannot rewind the stream [16:34] Yeah, from reading the docs, you have to tell it to record or whatever. [16:35] So I wrote a simple script to connect to my VPN if I was not connected( http://pastebin.com/R09g2Vhe ) -- But where should I put it? in /etc/network/if-up.d/ ? [16:35] hey people, what's up [16:35] i've got a question regarding SSL and TOR using irc... i have successfully connected to freenode with tor and ssl auth... [16:35] not sure if this is relevant but you can record stuff with kazam [16:35] is it possible to connect to ircnet servers using this method? [16:36] !freenode | chemist^ [16:36] chemist^: freenode is the IRC network that you're on! - See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml - freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policy.shtml - The Ubuntu channels on freenode also have their own !Guidelines [16:36] lotuspsychje ? :) i made it work with freenode [16:37] my question is ... if it's possible to connect to ircnet servers [16:37] chemist^: ok maybe ask on ircnet network? [16:37] they do not have such support channels as freenode does :D [16:38] cio [16:38] chemist^: how is that related to Ubuntu? [16:39] chemist^: well, its not really an ubuntu issue neither right :p === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [16:39] chemist^: have you tried it? [16:39] !tor [16:39] 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] 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] spearhead, yes... [16:39] lotuspsychje, :D no it's not [16:39] Myrtti, i'm using an irc client on ubuntu :P [16:40] you're already asking in the somewhat more right place, which is #ubuntu-offtopic [16:40] so let's move there [16:40] <[A]64021809> hi [16:40] <[A]56230778> hi [16:40] <[A]20620302> hi [16:40] <[A]94659433> hi [16:40] <[A]58078764> hi [16:40] <[A]39007166> hi [16:40] <[A]28497933> hi [16:40] <[A]73861806> hi [16:40] <[A]93478918> hi [16:40] <[A]29397714> hi [16:40] <[A]32986007> hi [16:40] <[A]24992827> hi [16:40] <[A]23736391> hi [16:40] <[A]42824780> hi [16:40] <[A]32147382> hi [16:40] <[A]90324608> hi [16:40] <[A]79780370> hi [16:40] <[A]11525997> hi [16:40] <[A]61598267> hi [16:40] <[A]30200380> hi [16:40] <[A]37280631> hi [16:40] <[A]12950990> hi [16:40] <[A]86990130> hi [16:40] <[A]96748657> hi [16:40] <[A]73940844> hi [16:40] <[A]00716893> hi [16:40] <[A]69660194> hi [16:40] <[A]88644437> hi [16:40] <[A]38117741> hi [16:40] <[A]53198717> hi [16:40] <[A]28087822> hi [16:40] <[A]47893081> hi [16:40] <[A]37841448> hi [16:40] <[A]66202263> hi [16:40] <[A]10569206> hi [16:40] <[A]82103528> hi [16:40] <[A]77544982> hi [16:40] <[A]31695065> hi [16:40] <[A]77085965> hi [16:40] <[A]77133359> hi [16:40] <[A]75968900> hi [16:40] <[A]37357550> hi [16:40] <[A]03459284> hi [16:40] <[A]45001032> hi [16:40] <[A]62749670> hi [16:40] <[A]12767391> hi [16:40] <[A]89514372> hi [16:40] <[A]62468860> hi [16:40] <[A]94790103> hi [16:40] <[A]00151499> hi [16:40] <[A]25967856> hi [16:40] <[A]91424094> hi [16:40] <[A]34553258> hi [16:40] <[A]38001453> hi [16:40] <[A]86907081> hi [16:40] <[A]17531739> hi [16:40] <[A]40799753> hi [16:40] <[A]95680600> hi [16:40] <[A]21535632> hi [16:40] <[A]29197586> hi [16:40] <[A]65555259> hi [16:40] <[A]89480617> hi [16:40] <[A]42687033> hi [16:40] <[A]68982014> hi [16:40] <[A]91610912> hi [16:40] <[A]98848125> hi [16:40] <[A]63601027> hi [16:40] <[A]29369264> hi [16:40] <[A]55311253> hi [16:40] <[A]54548261> hi [16:40] <[A]50955763> hi [16:40] <[A]73580306> hi [16:40] <[A]94301145> hi [16:40] <[A]48851614> hi [16:40] <[A]72473268> hi [16:40] <[A]35976204> hi [16:40] <[A]60084053> hi [16:40] <[A]55915963> hi [16:40] <[A]56106392> hi [16:40] <[A]76887960> hi [16:40] <[A]00152926> hi [16:40] <[A]52095481> hi [16:40] <[A]74485577> hi [16:40] <[A]99213374> hi [16:40] <[A]91378406> hi [16:40] <[A]39241221> hi [16:40] <[A]36409512> hi [16:40] <[A]61274814> hi [16:40] <[A]51757762> hi [16:40] <[A]70916318> hi [16:40] <[A]69844801> hi [16:40] <[A]45732060> hi [16:40] <[A]98890799> hi [16:40] <[A]44505789> hi [16:40] <[A]19678228> hi [16:40] <[A]64447640> hi [16:40] <[A]37781674> hi [16:40] <[A]14578709> hi [16:40] <[A]83006398> hi [16:40] <[A]30116578> hi [16:40] <[A]59150403> hi [16:40] <[A]87737232> hi [16:40] <[A]50592949> hi [16:40] <[A]40000578> hi [16:41] yikes [16:42] wow :D [16:42] There's a new one.

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] hitsujiTMO: that blew me away [17:41] 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 =2.0.23`, but I'm not sure if it works fine with the already installed package?

[17:42] Laurenceb_, did you plug in a cable (ethernet) just before wifi disconnected? What is that "th0" interface?

I am using duplicity to backup important files. I didn't realize that I needed more than just a simple backup. [17:43] it should say eth0, c&p fail [17:43] varunendra: no, it just disconnected suddenly [17:43] no apparent reason [17:43] ravigehlot: dd ftw :P [17:43] hitsujiTMO: it is in the zentyal repositories [17:43] ravigehlot: to an external HHD, right? [17:44] hitsujiTMO: HDD [17:44] hitsujiTMO: and quite old [17:44] Laurenceb_, was the cable connected all the time? [17:44] no [17:44] its was on wifi [17:44] no cable [17:44] 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 [17:45] fixed it [17:45] i think [17:45] Laurenceb_, your ifconfig output shows eth0 as connected (there is an IP, and traffic), while the wlan0 has no IP - most probably disconnected [17:46] i think a nm-applet issue [17:46] how do i spawn a new nm-applet ? [17:46] i killed the old one [17:46] 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] Laurenceb_, Alt-F2 > nm-applet [17:46] 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 [17:47] Laurenceb_, Network Manager is designed to prefer ethernet if a connection is detected. You sure no cable is plugged in? [17:48] hitsujiTMO: The plugins enabled are PDF viewer, native client, widevine, java and flash [17:50] 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] jost: you can do: apt-get install package/repocodename but you still need to set a lower priority for the zyntyal repo [17:51] hitsujiTMO: synaptic managed to remove the package [17:51] nashant: disable all the plugins first and test [17:52] hitsujiTMO: I don't even know how to test it properly. Dunno how to replicate the situation [17:53] nashant: how often did it happen? [17:53] hitsujiTMO: Today? a couple of times. Yesterday a few [17:54] Could it be a conflict between the chrome built in flash plugin and the system flash plugin? [17:55] 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 [17:56] hitsujiTMO: ppa-purge says it can't find the list of packages [17:57] ravigehlot: hmm, interesting. does that ppa still exist?

Just disabled it, and now running my system monitor looks a lot happier playing flash videos [18:02] Wonder how it got itself confused [18:02] hitsujiTMO: as far as removing dependecies...it will give you a change to review the dependencies...

[18:36] lars762: is this a default ubuntu install, yes/no [18:36] lars762: then i'd ask for: cat /etc/issue [18:37] thank you Daft. good suggestion [18:42] hitsujiTMO: that did it brb === wn_ is now known as wandernauta [18:45] hey [18:45] wasup guys [18:45] How can i change the default save location for the screenshot tool in ubuntu 13.10 desktop? === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [18:46] hitsujiTMO: feels fresh again ;) [18:46] hitsujiTMO: thanks! === zz__gypsy_ is now known as _gypsy_ [18:46] what do u mean [18:46] !yay | ravigehlot [18:46] ravigehlot: Glad you made it! :-) [18:46] ox [18:47] :P [18:47] 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. [18:48] hitsujiTMO: I am still getting the login screen for KDE...even after I removed the PPA... [18:48] wander [18:48] it might be a ur gfx card [18:48] but i doubt it [18:48] wandernauta: Why dont you use the nvidia drivers then? [18:48] StrawHat, Framerate is better on Windows + no tearing. [18:48] bekks, I thought 2D performance was similar between the two, and I dislike the binary blob [18:48] I mean are u using firefox for youtube? [18:49] ravigehlot: that would be from the kde login package in ubuntu repos [18:49] StrawHat, Chrome, but there's also tearing if I use mplayer or vlc [18:49] wandernauta: the performance is pretty different. [18:49] hitsujiTMO: so the PPA doesn't remove the software...it only restores it to the former state... [18:49] bekks, Yes, for 3D. [18:49] ravigehlot: you can change the greeter in your lightdm config if you wish [18:49] oxsyn, My guess is there may be a control in dconf-editor [18:49] hitsujiTMO: this isn't the same as removing [18:49] umm [18:49] hitsujiTMO: KDE is still installed [18:49] wandernauta: Even for 2D. [18:50] wander ur using nvidia [18:50] drivers right? [18:50] and there all updated? [18:50] StrawHat, No, nouveau I belive. [18:50] ravigehlot: it removes the ppa packages and reverts them to the packages in the repo. [18:50] Hi, I am trying to install an ubuntu server onto my other computer and when trying to create a LVM group between two drives it says it cannot create group and if i check virtual console 4 it gives me a partman-lvm: Incorrect metadata area header checksum error, anyone have any idea how to fix this? [18:50] hitsujiTMO: confused... [18:50] try updating ur gfx card dirvers [18:50] ravigehlot: yup its still installed, but you shouldn't have any conflicts now [18:51] hitsujiTMO: The reason why I use PPAs is because the package doesn't exist in the repo, right? [18:51] hitsujiTMO: there are no conflicts [18:51] ravigehlot: the repo contains updated packages. kde itself is in the ubuntu repos [18:52] ravigehlot: the PPA contains updated packages. kde itself is in the ubuntu repos [18:52] hitsujiTMO: oh [18:52] hitsujiTMO: I see [18:52] StrawHat, I've got the newest xserver-xorg-video-nouveau there is I believe. [18:52] I have installed 3.12.6 on 13.10 and I don't seem to have AUFS anymore. modprobe aufs tells me this. Used this url http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/12/install-kernel-3-12-6-ubuntu-linux-mint/ [18:52] ravigehlot: the error you were getting earlier about openoffince-common, was a conflict [18:52] Can someone enlighten em? [18:52] me* [18:52] hitsujiTMO: how can I search the Ubuntu repo then? I was using Launchpad/ppa instead not knowing what I was doing. Launchpad/ppa will have the stuff that is not monitored/checked by Ubuntu. [18:52] hitsujiTMO: like the latest...most updated software [18:53] hitsujiTMO: but Ubuntu does have its own repo of approved/checke packages === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [18:53] ravigehlot: apt-cache search or whatnot [18:53] hitsujiTMO: k [18:53] hitsujiTMO: I need to completly reinstall KDE...any hints on how to do that?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [18:56] hitsujiTMO: I made a bunch of wrong decisions because I didn't understand how the Ubuntu packaging system worked. Now I seem to have a better understaning of it. [18:57] very interested where to know how ubuntu is making the book. Are you having much difficulties getting anything to run? [18:57] Hello! [18:57] andre [18:57] 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: I was meaning to address you in the last post/. [18:57] I have an issue installing from cd. i keep getting "UNRECOVERABLE ERROR" [18:57] needhelpquick: When doing what exactly? [18:57] needhelpquick: And where exactly does that error appear? [18:58] hitsujiTMO: Now I gotta re-install kubuntu-desktop to have KDE completly restored to its working/tested state. I am having problems with the window decorations now showing the min/max/close buttons and etc [18:58] needhelpquick, when and where, and have you checked the sum? [18:58] ravigehlot: lol. yup. always check the repos first# [18:58] it takes like 5 mins to load [18:58] then gets to the gui [18:58] 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] andrewvos: Why is Ubuntu on macbook air not fun? [18:58] then i get the error, but sometime it stalles at "*starting network...blh blah" [18:58] Beldar: so I nearly got my windows situation sorted, but now the windows bootloader nuked grub, and grub is saying path '/boot/grub' is not readable by grub on boot [18:59] Beldar: any suggestions? [18:59] ravigehlot: play with the theme settings. you home settings prob still have references to items in the ppa version [18:59] needhelpquick: That "blah blah" is the important information we need. [18:59] hitsujiTMO: exactly. How can I re-install kde? [18:59] ok [18:59] hitsujiTMO: I want to restore it to its working state [19:00] stazich: You thinking of installing ubuntu?

[19:00] Draton, Can you run the bootscript or use the bootrepiar apps bootinfo summary? [19:00] ravigehlot: try removing any settings for it in you home directory first [19:00] hitsujiTMO: I will remove .kde [19:00] sure [19:00] hitsujiTMO: that should be where all the settings live, right? [19:00] it stops either in the GUI with the unreconverable error. Or....brb to get that info [19:00] Draton, Cool, that will give more details. [19:01] ravigehlot: i haven't used kde since 4.0 came outso not sure [19:01] needhelpquick, Have you checked the sum of the iso/cd/usb? [19:01] hitsujiTMO: what do you use?

[19:06] paste.ubuntu.com/6698731 [19:07] Guest11915, on the install, or the live cd? [19:07] Beldar, on the install.

[19:09] Beldar: paste.ubuntu.com/6698731 if you missed it, i'm guessing this is a chroot thing? [19:09] there the same on the cd too [19:10] brb for that other error [19:10] Beldar, thank you :) gonna restart and check it out [19:10] Draton, So sda is the new ssd sdb the old? [19:10] needhelpquick: I doubt you managed to check the checksum of the entire cd within that short time. [19:10] Beldar: sda = old sdb = new [19:10] Beldar: I want windows booting of sdb, ubuntu off of sda === richard is now known as Guest95373 [19:11] Draton, Cool, you could chroot to a grub-install /dev/sda then update grub [19:11] it was right beside me [19:11] Beldar: do you mean mount /dev/sda5 then chroot to it then install? [19:11] Hello people [19:12] Ok well the Disk that i burnt at 4x seems to be working [19:12] Draton, If it were me I would want the windows boot in the sda mbr and grub in sdb if that is where you intend ubuntu to be. [19:12] needhelpquick: How did you check the md5sum of the cd? [19:12] ok but now lol i got [19:12] ok but now lol i got" the installer crashed [19:13] Beldar: I want ubuntu on sda, windows on sdb [19:13] Draton, I only see one ubuntu on the HD, lookm closely at the script sometimes HD's get reversed in order with a usb boot to the live. [19:14] Draton, so sdb is actually the new ssd? [19:14] Beldar: right, trying to move windows there [19:14] Beldar: but in doing so windows nuked the mbr on sda [19:15] bekks sorry man but the md5 is fine....can we move to something else? [19:16] Draton, Cool, so if you boot the sdb first does it go straight to windows? === james_ is now known as Guest37841 [19:17] Beldar: yes, but for some reason it was refing back to the original windows partitions [19:17] Beldar, thank you my boot menu is much cleaner now.

[19:17] Beldar: also got grub working again [19:17] Beldar: just at a loss for how to fix windows :) [19:19] 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] would downloads the 32 bit version on a 64 bit system make a problem? [19:19] bekks [19:19] Beldar: Ok, sounds good, i do have windows imaged, here goes nothing... [19:20] Draton, Cool, having an image is your best insurance. [19:20] Beldar: So if i nuke sda1 and sda2, then do a update-grub, it should be good to go? [19:22] 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] Beldar: alright, here goes nothing. [19:22] 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] needhelpquick: I asked you two times how did you check the md5sum of the cd?

[21:53] remove that. and it should work [21:53] AcidRain_: the server (10.1.120.56) I'm mount binding from is a QNAP NAS. client is Ubuntu 12.10 [21:54] sv2241: you dont use bind with nfs shares. what are you trying to do? [21:54] I have a link file pointing to /a/b/c.txt, I want to edit the link file, not c.txt [21:54] sv2241, ah. thats beyond me. i havent dealt with that. === Myrth_ is now known as Myrth [21:54] Beldar, i think hes trying to edit the link location on the link file [21:55] XposWinU: what about it do you want to edit? you use ln to change the link [21:55] rhythmbox requires to install plugins of the following types. where do i get the plugins? [21:55] Gallomimia, what plugins? [21:56] a big long list [21:56] Gallomimia, does it list off the mp3 codex? [21:56] give me some examples [21:56] Gallomimia, can you pastebin them so we get some context with a little more details [21:57] a whole ton of codec's yeah [21:57] i'm having a problem with software updater... for some reason it has a blank window when it opens. anyone know why? [21:57] Gallomimia, should have done that on format ;) [21:57] Gallomimia, Do you have the restricted-extras installed? [21:57] no [21:57] ya. install that. it shoudl cover all of it [21:58] how? [21:58] Gallomimia, Start there, sudo apt-get install "your de"-restricted-extras [21:58] irc.openjoke.org [21:59] IE sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras if unity [21:59] or: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/ubuntu-restricted-extras/ [21:59] but i would always suggest terminal over gui :) [21:59] Hi, I get a SIGSEGV error when I try to open lugaru, is there any why to fix this? [21:59] ri File gives Nothing known about File. running ubuntu 13.10.. missing any doc package? [21:59] I have a question about the terminal emulator used in Xubuntu versus the one in Ubuntu. I like the one in Xubuntu because it keeps an entire history of a Build or compilation of a kernel for example. The one in Ubuntu only keeps so many pages then its gone. Is this some setting or the terminal being used? [22:00] so I installed a bunch of desktop environments, now I see duplicate icons for applications. I am removing them using synaptic package manager. Is there anything that can go wrong here? [22:00] Barrin6, synaptic remove apps [22:00] removes* [22:01] scroll back setting in preferences maybe? its set to 1000 in Xubutu [22:01] androidfr33k: in the setting you can change that to infinite if you wish [22:01] so that's good right [22:01] Barrin6, what DE are you currently using? [22:01] unity [22:01] oh. cant help u [22:01] Barrin6, Not if you want them. [22:01] i did sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop but it doesn't seem to remove everything [22:01] but no. synaptic will not remove an icon. [22:01] Barrin6, Many have dependencies so look at what is being removed closely [22:01] in terminal setting? Scrollback? [22:01] Barrin6, u will have to logout, and log back in [22:02] okay [22:02] hopefully I don't brick my computer [22:02] unheard of [22:02] hitsujiTMO: I have an NFS export mounted from a QNAP NAS (10.1.120.56:/share/Multimedia) locally to a Ubuntu 12.10 host in /mnt/Multimedia. Additionally, I want to provide access to several ftpusers to couple subdirectories from that mount. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do that. Considered that one possible way to do that is within a chrooted ftpuser environment, I mount bind these subdirectories but it does not work. In Windows, FTP servers [22:03] hello [22:03] Does anyone know anything about SIGSEGV errors? [22:03] I am new to linux .

[22:03] ~ [22:03] yea Beldar , that's why I am trying to remove them now. Since I will only be using Unity [22:04] triven, Kernels outside of a release are technically not supported here unless that is the only option. [22:04] I have a 12.1 and xrdp installed, but the menu bar is missing. how can I fix it? [22:04] why keep unity. seems u are already having problems with it.

[22:04] What's the best way to move the gnome3-shell panel from the top to the bottom? [22:04] hah AcidRain_ , I actually like it. [22:04] Gallomimia, What desktop do you use?

But I don't feel ready to switch desktops at this time [22:05] I'm trying to run the game Lugaru but it closes after I click it giving me a SIGSEG error [22:05] the default is unity [22:05] Gallomimia, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:05] right. that then === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [22:05] BinIOConvert4() it says [22:05] Anyone know how to burn an iso to a dvd-r in ubuntu server 13.10? [22:06] ah this works [22:06] Barrin6, What release are you running? [22:06] now i remember why i denied permission to install this package. can i avoid installing flash with all this? [22:06] I'm using ubuntu 12.04 [22:06] Gallomimia, just intall, then remove flash [22:06] Is there really no way to move a panel in gnome3? This is a departure from like 15 years of gnome philosophy [22:06] Gallomimia, I don't know the command to do so. [22:07] its laterally infinite setting in ubuntu but the one is Xubuntu does not have infinite [22:07] thanks [22:07] jzk1, the unity prison im not sure of. in KDE, u just pull it to where u want it [22:08] Barrin6, look at the playing around section left column for removing whole desktops for 12.04. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [22:08] Gallomimia, Can I ask why no flash? [22:08] Unity so far is absolutely disgusting [22:08] Anyone know if the default ubuntu server kernel (im on 3.2.0-57-generic) has IP Policy Filter enabled? At some point either during a software upgrade or a kernel upgrade my very non standard routing policy from iproute2 broke [22:09] * AcidRain_ jzk1 *cough* use KDE/cinnamon *cough* [22:09] jzk1, That is a personal subjective opinion this is support [22:09] beldar: i thought the point of using a linux distro was to prevent crappy software from poisoning your system? [22:09] the operating system i choose is "not-windows-or-apple" === ubuntu is now known as Guest11880 [22:09] flash is even worse than both of those put together :( [22:09] Gallomimia, its different in linux [22:09] yes. in a big big way [22:09] flash is ran as the user flash, it cant escape that user [22:10] if i have an ssh server that is password protected, can i bypass password with private key file [22:10] Gallomimia, That is a personal subjective choice, what you consider "crappy software from poisoning your system" is not necessarily everyones opinion. [22:10] thanks Beldar [22:10] AcidRain_: Well, it wouldn't be a problem but this upgrade to 13.10 broke literally everything- lost all my settings, gnome panels, compiz... everything === dzieglerg is now known as dziegler_off [22:10] jzk1, hmmmm... dont try to fix what isnt broken next time? ;) [22:10] pvl1: if public key is allowed, yes [22:10] i remember when flash was version 1. it was exciting. the next chance i got to look at the version number it was like 11 or something. bloat.... delete. [22:10] axisys_: and thats in the config yes [22:10] pvl1: sshd_config, yes [22:10] Gallomimia: you can install the individual dependencies if you wish. apt-cache show ubuntu-restricted-extras | grep Depends [22:10] pvl1: you mean logging in without a password? [22:11] gordonjcp: yeah just making sure itll work as expected [22:11] pvl1: it should do [22:11] Gallomimia, im just saying. if u enjoy watching youtube videos. u will need flash. if u are worried about the hacks that are going around to escape the flash sandbox, its not an issue in linux [22:11] thanks hitsujiTMO: that's stuff i need to learn with time. i did a purge on flash [22:11] pvl1: you can either create an SSH key without a passphrase, or use ssh-agent and friends [22:11] i don't enjoy watching youtube videos thanks [22:11] gordonjcp: may i pm you [22:11] flash player is the worst idea in the history of computing :( [22:12] pvl1: once you have the private key setup you can actually turn off password authentication... although then you wouldn't be able to login from a computer that doesn't have a key registered with the server... but it does make it more secure. [22:12] pvl1: go on then [22:12] besides, youtube works with html5, and i prefer to download my youtube videos to disk and watch them with a native program [22:12] Gallomimia, im pretty sure flash is ran on our cd players though :) [22:12] spearhead: thats what i want to avoid. but i guess the solution would be to just keep a copy of said file somewhere [22:12] cd players? [22:12] in your car... [22:12] cd players were obsolete before flash came out [22:13] pvl1: you want to avoid being able to log in from other machines? [22:13] lol [22:13] Gallomimia, im talking about the display. handling of mp3s. [22:13] sstuff like that [22:13] spearhead: id like to be able to still log in with password [22:13] yeah. i don't have such a cd player. it's got aux in and that's all [22:13] hey all, need some help with recovering a partition table. Wiped out my partitions accidentally using gparted. Still have the machine running and haven't rebooted yet. [22:14] Gallomimia, lol [22:14] thanks for the tip tho. i'll avoid decks that have flash in them too >< [22:14] haha [22:14] no usb in? [22:14] ummmm it might. but it doesn't work with my phone [22:14] ah. got an iphone i see [22:14] so, i might try a flashdrive. [22:14] :P [22:15] HAD* an iphone. [22:15] 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] ditched apple... [22:15] the usb in works with android... [22:15] well, not my laptop yet. i'll get ubuntu running on that soon [22:15] pvl1: but to login from any other computer I have to use a password. [22:15] NcA^, Anything still there on the HD and is it backed up? [22:16] pvl1: if you haven't already I would suggest turning off ssh login for root. [22:16] Well, I've got a NAS, so there's no data that I particularly care about... Just "." files in my home directory [22:16] spearhead: of course thats disabled [22:16] but thank you [22:16] just making sure... a lot of people don't disable it.. [22:16] 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 [22:17] ya man. thats been disabled for yrs [22:17] 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] NcA^, I'm not familiar with what NAS is. [22:17] Network Attached Storage. [22:17] A Synology DS213 [22:18] Beldar: it is basically a tiny computer that all it does is share a hdd with the network... [22:18] NAS = barebones computer on a single board without a display. [22:18] hmmm... whats the point of this NAS thing [22:18] Anyways... That's secondary to my issue [22:18] sounds like its a shared hdd [22:18] you can flash them and run alternate operating systems on them [22:18] 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. [22:19] AcidRain_: cheep network shared storage with no configuration necessary, or at least very little... [22:19] Beldar: I gave that a try too, I've written about 4 incorrect partition tables since they got deleted [22:19] spearhead, how much are they? [22:19] Beldar: Wasn't sure if testdisk/gpart scan the full disk, or just the mbr [22:19] NcA^, Your using the term partition tables and partitions together they are not the same. [22:20] spearhead, if they are more than 100$ ill just stick with the 2TB shared hdd's i got :) [22:20] AcidRain_: anywhere from 80-400 dollars. without disks [22:20] http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=207&srkey=nas [22:20] Beldar: I'm attempting to recover my partition table... [22:20] there are lots of options... [22:20] spearhead, ya that is too much for something that can be recreated for a 6th the price [22:21] 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] NcA^, I would start a backup system after this had you had one, you would not be here. [22:21] 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] AcidRain_: my thoughts exactly but they are good for people with little to no computer knowledge... [22:22] guess knowledge does pay off. that linux SuSe terminal was right about 10yrs ago. lol [22:22] spearhead: they're good for prying into the private files of people with little to know computer knowledge too. [22:22] ya i was about to say. looks like a good way for your neighbor to delete your computer life [22:23] haha yeah that too [22:23] 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] they're coming with "cloud" software and wifi adapters too [22:24] including the membership database... [22:24] 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] spearhead, lmao. so-and-so baptized: yes() no(x) lol [22:24] 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$ [22:25] pretty much... [22:25] spearhead, AcidRain_ with names and addresses? that's a violation of most privacy laws right there. [22:25] spearhead, your sick. thats just twisted [22:25] 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] i showed them how easy it was to get into and how to change it... now it is a little harder... [22:25] we have privacy laws? learn something new everyday. lol [22:25] NcA^: No. [22:26] hah [22:26] lol bekks [22:26] sv2241: bind will keep the same options as the primary mounts unfortunately [22:26] NcA^: That was no joke. [22:26] I'm aware [22:26] none of the tools for the job are returning the right info: parted/gpart/testdisk [22:27] 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] hitsujiTMO: damn, i was afraid you were going to say that. what can I do then? [22:27] 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] sv2241: afaik you can remont it as ro tho. sudo mount -o remount,ro /home/user/Music [22:27] actually the volume is populated with encrypted disk images.... recovering those with a file recovery program is..... tough. impossible :( [22:28] bekks: It's not the end of the world, everything is properly backed up, just trying to avoid the inevitable reinstall [22:28] AcidRain_: im afraid i cannot do that as other services write there and need rw access [22:28] i figure it should be easy with the right tools and piping, since i know the passwords === LjL^ is now known as LjL [22:28] sv2241, what services? [22:28] NcA^, You might get acquainted with the boot script it gives you that exact info. [22:28] Gallomimia: it should be possible once decrypted [22:28] sv2241, im not sure about ftp. but im pretty sure that sftp has to be owned by root to be publicly accessible [22:29] AcidRain_: well, the mount points are Music, Movies, TVSeries.. I'll let you figure out what those services might be :-) [22:29] lol [22:29] sv2241, i see no need for any program to write to those files. but to read, those programs wont need root to read them [22:30] 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] which i wont ever have to do [22:30] andyfied: can't decrypt until the volume full of files is "recovered" [22:30] mm [22:30] then need to try to make a nice image [22:31] to a good drive then try to rebuild the pmap, that ;ast bit is beyond me though [22:31] what's more, there's about 5 such encrypted images, with the same password === DarkPlayer_ is now known as DarkPlayer [22:31] so... sort them out? without a pmap :/ sounds rough [22:31] so far all i've done is image the volume to a good drive [22:32] have you tried testdisk? [22:32] i wouldn't expect it to do much [22:32] but you might be lucky [22:32] haven't tried anything since i had it on my mac years ago, other than dd > imagefile [22:33] alas, i must step away. good day to you all [22:33] 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] id only do that in my spare time though. [22:33] Gallomimia: testdisk might be able to get it back together === erkules_ is now known as erkuls === erkuls is now known as erkules [22:37] Hello [22:42] Amphibulus: Hi ! back at you, What's your situation ?

[22:48] it work up till few days ago [22:49] then after that [22:49] blank black [22:49] bonsu, Ah, anything in between that might have changed this, drivers, updates, apps.....etc [22:49] just did some updates yesterday [22:50] bonsu, some is a plural, do you mean an update? [22:50] yes and update [22:51] bonsu, Any additional drivers....ect needed originally to get it working?

[22:53] ty anyway [22:54] Barrin6, Did you use the meta list to remove lubuntu on psychocats, it should revert your spalsh back. [22:54] splash [22:54] hitsujiTMO: you're a godsent. remounting the binded filesystem did the trick. how can I make that permanent, so it'll recreate the same mount points and have ro permissions after server reboot? an event-based init script maybe? === LjL is now known as LjL-Away === michael is now known as Guest73220 === Guest73220 is now known as Mike63UK [22:56] hello all [22:56] hello [22:56] sv2241: you could create an upstart script that mounts it after the networking interface comes up === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [22:57] anyone know if there is a room for pure data? === kay______ is now known as kayellen [22:57] beldar I did but it didn't work. [22:57] Mike63UK: what do you mean by pure data? [22:57] Mike63UK, "room for pure data" could you define that and a context [22:57] Amphibulus: I looekd at the link, modify-ing the .c code is also a bit over my head. [22:58] pd puredata the music program [22:58] Beldar, it said I had some unmet dependencies [22:58] 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] Bashing-om, thanks anyway, I'm not sure why there not more people complaining about this [22:58] Beldar, it's not a big deal [22:59] Mike63UK: i just did a channel search for puredata and found #dataflow [22:59] sv2241: you're right. [22:59] nope, puredata is sort of a music design system [22:59] i removed python2.7 and it uninstalled half my ubuntu along with it. how do i get it back? [22:59] sv2241: unless you mount the nfs shares in the same script [23:00] Barrin6, Cool, problem here though is when you pick at a desktop to remove it and or modify one so you get unmet dependencies, the clean can be disjunct is all. [23:00] ive got it ported now onto a beaglebone and looking for a few tips === kayellen is now known as kay______ [23:01] if i rm a symlink, do i rm symlink or the actual file it links to [23:01] pvl1: the symlink [23:01] Mike63UK: is this what you are wanting? http://puredata.info/ [23:02] i removed python2.7 and it uninstalled half my ubuntu along with it. how do i get it back? [23:02] Mike63UK: because that is what the #dataflow channel is for based on the description [23:02] you were right the dataflow one is the one I was looking for [23:02] Amphibulus: Have not seen any others with this "problem", what results with right click, release and then select the desired item ?

I wrote a script which reads with xinput --query-state the current position of the device, but this leads to a relative high load of the xorg process.

[23:09] so I want to replace the infinit loop with an event [23:09] I have a VGA->component cable [23:10] i stuffed up my sources file in /etc/apt/. Where can i wget a new one? [23:10] it seems to be recognizing the cable and the tv (ubuntu recognizes when I plug in the cable, and that there *is* another monitor) [23:10] but I dont get any video out [23:10] Bashing-om, on unity you can right click (hold your click) and move your mouse the select the menu item, then you release the button to select it, that's what cause this issue [23:10] how can I diagnose the source of the error [23:11] hello, I use ubuntu 13.10 which has qemu 1.5 installed , I need qemu 1.7 which seems to exist in ubuntu 14.4; how can I add 14.4 repository to synaptic so it install the new release of qemu? === root is now known as Guest89425 [23:12] I have the option to use component instead of composite; but I'd like to knowif I seem to have to [23:12] Guest82306, not possible to mix repo versions.

[23:13] you could try using ssh -X user@ip [23:13] Mike63UK: yes, but this other one doesnt have VGA out [23:14] its HDMI only (windows only) [23:14] just to confirm the windows are being created [23:14] With upstart, how can I make a job B restart when job A is restarted? [23:14] mmm no X [23:14] but I have gotten HDMI-HDMI video to display [23:14] testing === Guest89425 is now known as FireEater64 [23:15] OerHeks: is there any tool that can do that? I can download the deb files but there are many dependencies which make the process confusing and error prone and that is why I search for an automated tool [23:15] I'm far from expert in messing with xrandr or xorg.conf [23:16] me neither [23:16] when I have it plugged in, can I get a read of what's being broadcast [23:16] Guest82306, not that i know [23:16] I'm having problems resetting my launchpad email \ [23:17] * FireEater64 test [23:17] I can't change my login email address [23:17] you could try tightvnc [23:17] anton02: Here: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ to regenerate your source.list file.

[23:24] im having a difficult time installing from usb [23:24] can someone help me troubleshoot? [23:24] I've had to manually load it every time for about a month or so, its in modprobe's blacklist, says it was generated by bcmwl, but I don't have that installed in any package anywhere AFAIK, dpkg -S turns up nothing [23:24] did the write to the usb stick work correctly? [23:24] Blackshear, tell the channel the problems. [23:25] in the bios setup, in the boot menu, i have USB boot enabled [23:25] but it doesnt boot from the usb [23:25] If I knew who/what blacklisted the driver, I could maybe get better help as to why it was blacklisted in the first place (no, my card doesn't have a better driver for it) [23:26] it just loads windows everytime [23:26] Blackshear: toggle the legacy usb support option in the bios [23:26] Blackshear, What windows release? [23:26] windows 7 [23:26] Blackshear, This a oem, no uefi? [23:27] Brb checking to see that de-listing the driver fixes my problem. [23:27] Blackshear: how are you telling it to boot the usb? bios boot menu? or have you changed the boot order? [23:27] i changed the boot order [23:28] ok now something happened, i see a stick person with a cirle in it next to a rectangle [23:29] is that normal? === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [23:29] on a dark red back ground [23:30] Blackshear: yes thats normal. [23:30] I mistakenly installed some stuff as root. Now I've made a proper new user for the application (Vbox). How do I migrate all the Vbox files over to the new user folder? Do I just move it myself or should I be doing more? [23:30] how long is it supposed to stay like that/ [23:31] Scroll_Tro0L, Have you installed anything in vbox yet, the only thing really imperative there is the OS image. [23:32] unless you have saved any states [23:32] Beldar, Unfortunately yes, So I need to move the .vd file and everything. === jack is now known as Guest42059 [23:32] I didn't get too far, so I don't mind reinstalling it all. [23:32] how do i install the unity WM? [23:33] Blackshear: Several minutes perhaps, depending on how fast your system is and how much ram is installed. The image has to be copied into ram, and decompreseed then the OS is running in ram. [23:33] I ran into an issue where the partition got full. Someone from vbox channel told i needed to do it all as a user, so I need to put it all in the /home/vbox folder now [23:33] 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. [23:34] Right now the vbox stuff is in /root/ [23:34] apt-get install unity doesnt work [23:34] Scroll_Tro0L, Hmm, not sure myself, never done this myself, and not sure of permissions here. [23:35] Scroll_Tro0L: i presume you just need to copy over the dirs + chown it [23:35] anton02, unity is the ubuntu-desktop [23:35] anton02: you ran it as root or with the sudo command prefixed? [23:36] hitsujiTMO, That's where I get lost, which dirs. [23:36] Obviously, Ill move over the .vdi file [23:36] but I have two more folders [23:36] .VirtualBox and VirtualBox VMs === jd is now known as Guest63777 [23:37] Scroll_Tro0L: contents of VirtualBox vms should be enough [23:37] Alrighty, I'll try this now. Thanks! [23:37] .VirtualBox should be the user prefs global to a vm [23:37] so not so important [23:37] K [23:37] And then I'll have to change the paths in the vm's config [23:38] Then, hopefully, should be golden [23:38] if they're not already relative [23:38] They're not [23:38] Not that advanced, yet :P [23:38] * hitsujiTMO hates apps with absolute paths [23:38] Litterally my first time with unix [23:39] what unix? [23:39] ubuntu?

How can I increase my resolution?

[23:44] oh nvm [23:44] i got it [23:44] emulate? [23:44] is it okay to seek help with ubuntu studio here? [23:44] for what [23:44] Some things are crashing and I can't get my headphones to work.

[23:45] That is a no, no that did not fix the issue, not even temporarily [23:46] Soz I still would appreciate a pointer about my blacklisted driver [23:46] raj7749, You might clean out some kernels === jost_ is now known as jost [23:47] Beldar Thanx for the reply.. i did clean some kernels.. but the thing is that my boot partition is 200mb sized.. [23:47] My custom kernels are requiring more spaces [23:47] raj7749, Pretty standard size, not really needed. [23:48] raj7749, resize it like you would any partition. [23:48] When I do su for a user I just made (as root), it still asks me for a password [23:48] A pointer or a pointer to a pointer. [23:48] Any way around this? When I made the user I didn't give it any password [23:48] Either one. [23:48] Beldar, i m just worried i might loose grub.. [23:49] Beldar or bootrecord [23:49] what can I do if fdisk can't read a partition table? [23:49] exit [23:49] 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 [23:50] 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? === onder`_ is now known as onder` === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [23:51] frib: have you used testdisk before? [23:51] the installation just froze [23:51] 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] on keyboard layout === george_ is now known as FireEater64 [23:52] Beldar, it will mess with the partition numbers [23:52] raj7749, Not sure on that, I never use a boot partition. === denysonique is now known as Guest91626 [23:52] 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] frib: what output do you get from: sudo fdisk -l === Guest91626 is now known as denysonique_ [23:53] Beldar, .. i guess i will have to try n see.. thanx :) [23:53] 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] download speed is showed at couple of PetaBytes at some times. [23:53] raj7749, I would just resize the one next to it if a linux, not windows, and the resize the boot. [23:53] then* [23:53] Beldar, i was hoping to do the same... [23:53] frib: what tool did you use to fix the partition table? [23:54] p0wder, dd, i've never used testdisk don tknow what it is [23:54] that is, used dd to erase it === bossloss is now known as randomboss [23:54] frib: it couldn't read it so you wiped it? aren't you curious as to why it couldn't read it? [23:54] no because i already konw why [23:54] because I copied 512 bytes from another disk that was way bigger than it [23:54] it also downloads each file couple of times.. i see no more point why i have about 300 "Get:" lines [23:55] frib i see [23:55] raj7749, You just need to do this from a live cd, I would use gparted [23:55] hitsujiTMO, if i boot ubuntu live iso from a usb can I install it to that same usb? [23:55] hello [23:56] never mind 300.. thats 28%.. [23:56] is there a way to add persistence to the stock ubuntu-12.04-desktop.iso I download from the website? [23:56] Beldar, ya.. ill try with live cd... ubuntu live cd has gparted in it... so will try from that.. thank you.. [23:56] frib no. that usb is locked [23:56] I must use the ISO file, without unpacking as I am using a mac and a live USB... [23:56] hitsujiTMO, ok thanks [23:58] can i use dd to fix an sd cards partition table? === randomboss is now known as bossloss [23:58] p0wder: dd won't "fix" it, it will overwrite it
