ubottunetsplit 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/Netsplit00:03

McdonaldsBonsoir tout le monde !!00:05
jiridohitsujiTMO: why would someone attack freenode?00:05
psusiandresmh, the device needs a driver, that either linux doens't have, or you don't have built and installed on your system00:05
hitsujiTMOjirido: because they have too much time on their hands and nothing productive to do with it00:06

possum_hello i am trying to reach my machine which is behind a router from the open internet. i have the correct ip and i set port forwarding on the router. i run 'nc -l 55555' on my local pc and when i connect to it via 'nc 192.168.0.15 55555' it works from the lan. but when i try from a public ip to the ip of the router i get a timeout. could this be a firewall issue or something that comes by default00:18
possum_in ubuntu?00:18
douglwhat is cli syntax for pastebin?00:18
hitsujiTMOdougl: sudo apt-get install pastebinit      then     pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg00:19

douglhitsujiTMO, thanks...http://paste.ubuntu.com/6706373/00:19
_CHOW[08:19] <_CHOW> HI????00:20
possum_i forwarded public port 55555 to port 55555 on my machine's local ip00:20
hitsujiTMOdougl: do you have another copy of linux installed?00:20
dougl13.0400:20
douglthat works nice too00:21
dougland I have 12.10 on my server00:21
TJ-possum_: Does your router also require a firewall allow rule for that port?00:21
possum_TJ-: no it is just a simple home router00:21
possum_TJ-: it has a web interface for port forwarding00:21
jhutchinspossum_: Problem most likely with your forwarding.00:22
douglhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6706394/ hitsujiTMO00:22
hitsujiTMOdougl: what do you get for: lsb_release -a00:22
jhutchinspossum_: How are you testing the external connection?00:22
possum_jhutchins: i set the correct ports and ips, i triple, well quadruple checked00:22
possum_jhutchins: also with netcat00:22
possum_nc <public ip of the router> 5555500:22
jhutchinspossum_: If you do that from within the lan you're not testing it.00:23
douglhitsujiTMO, Ubuntu 13.10 details00:23
TJ-possum_: And you're 100% that the "nc" process is still running on the local PC? nc will usually exit after a connection has been dropped and needs to be re-started00:23
hitsujiTMOdougl: can you pastebin the full lot please00:23
possum_jhutchins: i was just testing whether the nc syntax is correct, so we can rule that out because it works in the local lan. of course i am not testing the nat by that00:23
douglNo LSB modules are available.00:23
possum_TJ-: yes 100%, it works if i connect to it locally later00:23
=== Hydroponx is now known as Hydr0p0nX
TJ-possum_: You can't do loopback on the router; you'll need to connect from an outside IP00:24
possum_TJ-: thats why i said "from a public ip"00:24
possum_TJ-: to be more precise, it is not the same public ip as the router00:24
douglhitsujiTMO, http://pastebin.com/cZHGv5DZ00:25
TJ-possum_: OK ... so run "sudo tcpdump -vni eth0 tcp port 5555" on the local PC and see if it sees any connection attempts. If not, your router needs more configuration00:25

michael__Is there a way I can make a hard disk image using mkisofs?00:32

denysonique I want to make a deb package of ready binaries of na open source project. Should I fetch the bins manually before running debuild or should I do the fetching in debian/rules?00:54
douglhitsujiTMO, err - probably, right ?00:55
TJ-denysonique: If the binaries are open-source then the package (or one of its dependencies) should build them00:55
denysoniqueTJ-: I don't have makefiles for it00:56
denysoniqueactually, for hosting it on a PPA it must be built from source on the server, since no binaries are allowed, is this correct?00:56
hitsujiTMOdougl: that may beed to be updated independently. boot kubuntu 13.04. from there run: sudo update-grub             then restart00:56
TJ-denysonique: Then the way to handle it is to include a script in the source package that gets installed and run (postinst script probably) to fetch the files when the user installs your package00:56
=== don is now known as Guest55552
douglhitsujiTMO, gotcha thanks brb00:57
TJ-denysonique: See for example the flashplugin-installer00:57

ubottusudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo01:00

k1ljames__: please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo and see that there is no root account enabled01:03
TJ-denysonique: It's a policy issue; Binaries are opaque. What happens if the user requests the source-code as they are entitled to but the original source doesn't provide it, or the original source disappears?01:03
TJ-denysonique: Check the copyright license; if it is (L)GPL then you have an obligation to provide the source-code01:04

Beldarhipitihop, I would wait for 14.04 in april or just go up one by ine to 13.10 or fresh install.01:20
hipitihopBeldar, "up by ine ..." ?01:22
Beldarhipitihop, If that alsa is imperative check ppa's and be aware not that support here for ppa's in general. read carefully the word syntax we do make errors one by one.01:22

asdhi, so i have a problem with booting up on ubuntu(latest version), i log in it and then display only output is a picture that looks like broken monitor01:26
hipitihopBeldar, this is a continuation from a marathon yesterday with glint* here who helped me discount my issue being a kernel one, i.e. I'm now on "3.11.0-15-generic #23~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 10 16:39:48 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" and problem with usb attached headset persists. which PPA are you proposing01:26
asdbtw im in recovery mod and it works fine (exept resolution is lower and i cant set it up higher)01:27
Beldarhipitihop, No idea, that is your job to research, technically ppa's are not supported here.01:27
asdhi, so i have a problem with booting up on ubuntu(latest version), i log in it and then display only output is a picture that looks like broken monitor01:28
asdwhat should i do???01:29
hipitihopBeldar, do you suggest I just upgrade to 13.10 from 12.04.3 ?01:30
unamedhi, hipitihop why haven you wait for 14.0401:30
Beldarhipitihop, I don't know your issues, so without I would suggest a dual boot to see if 13.10 fixes the issues.01:31
asd hi, so i have a problem with booting up on ubuntu(latest version), i log in it and then display only output is a picture that looks like broken monitor, so what should i do??????01:31
hipitihopunamed, That would mean waiting till April to use a new Sennheiser USB heaset :-(01:32
Beldarhipitihop, I'm biased here however I never upgrade the releases I can install and have the same in about 1/4 the time even with a fairly fast internet speed.01:32
BlackshearIm tryin to setup a linksys usb wireless adapter, the cd will not autorun, the manual suggests using windows run, what in ubuntu is similar to "run"?01:33
hipitihopBeldar, sure, I understand, but this is a dev machine for day to day work, which is normally why I err on the side of caution and use the LTS versions, but I also do not want to start from scratch on a dual boot or a vm01:34
BeldarBlackshear, YOu sure you need to run the cd, does it not work?01:34
Blackshearwell the instructions say to install the  cd first01:34
Blackshearthen plug the usb adapter in when prompted01:35
kerneldwhats the infobot called?01:35
unamedblackshear with the new version of ubuntu the usb mode-switch is included by default if your driver is recognized no need to install your cd01:35
Beldarhipitihop, Sure, however you do not know if 13.10 is the answer, and a upgarde to it will take awhile and could beak, so you have to think you way through this IE what is most prudent and easiest to consider.01:35
unamedgot to your network configuration applet to see if your system detect your mobile brand provider network01:35
Blackshearok01:36
hipitihopBeldar, btw, yesterdays machinations indeed confirmed with a live cd of 13.10 that it resolved my issues, we thought since alsa does a majority in kernel, we tried thatt route, with insuing nvidia issues, but alas did not solve the headset issue.01:36
mrrcpBlackshear you should not need CD01:36
mrrcpit wont work either way01:36

asd hi, so i have a problem with booting up on ubuntu(latest version), i log in it and then display only output is a picture that looks like broken monitor01:37
Beldarhipitihop, Live cd's are kinda a anomaly there are drivers there that get things working when some find not there on install that one has to look for. If you are using a working live 13,10 as your base see if a working live 12.04.3 does the same. In other words a somewhat scientific inquiry approach.01:38

Blackshearhow would i do the system ubdate that they reccommend during installation01:51
TJ-Psil0Cybin: It depends on whether it is true hardware RAID, or what is called 'Fake' RAID. With fakeraid - dmraid is the driver - the underlying physical disks will show up as /dev/sdX nodes and the RAID array(s) will show up as device mapper entries under /dev/mapper/01:51

TJ-hipitihop: The file(s) you're looking for are inside the squashfs image, not in the ISO file-system02:01
knightshadehipitihop: do you have a dists folder on the drive?02:01
hipitihopknightshade, yes, just found that, that seems to give a hint :-)02:01
civpro2went to amd and picked out my video card02:01
civpro2downloaded the run file02:01
civpro2extracted it, and ran it02:01
civpro2i also tried flxgr-update02:01
civpro2or something like that02:01
varunendraBlackshear, once Ubuntu is installed and connected to internet, it will automatically detect recommended updates and will prompt you to install them. You just have to accept the installation (and the download of course).02:01
knightshadehipitihop: there should be a file dists/<release_name>/Release02:02
Beldarcivpro2, Proprietary drivers are the last resort here and technically not supported is all.02:02

civpro2beldar, how can i get this running without proprietary drivers please02:03
Beldarcivpro2, Be careful not to use the enter key as punctuation and give relevant details is all, it is easy to get lost in the channel, especially if you have unusual or not real common hardware.02:03
hipitihopTJ-, thanks, no sign of squashfs but have found the version in /dists see discuss with knightshade02:04
Beldarcivpro2, If I knew I would have suggested drivers. ;)02:04
civpro2Beldar, ok, what are the next steps02:04
varunendracivpro2, for AMD graphics, the "radeon" driver is open source, the rest (fglrx and others if there are any) are proprietary. There is no definitive list of 'proprietary drivers'.02:05
Blacksheardo you guys reccommend getting clam-av, or is ubuntu fine without it02:05
Beldarcivpro2, No idea, recognize that all I have said to you is info on getting help, and the norms of using proprietary drivers here, I have not indicated I can actually help with your issue.02:05
unamedi say no need Blackshear02:05
Blacksheari will probably be accessing some sketchy websites, that may try to install spyware and malware02:06
* hipitihop reboots to 12.04 livecd to see if headset issue resolved as in 13.10 livecd02:06
varunendraBlackshear, Ubuntu itself is fine without it. It is meant to protect the Windows users from the viruses that may carry with files copied from Ubuntu.02:06
unamedBlackshear, haviing it may not kill you02:06
civpro2varunendra, i did try the run file first from amd, then i used other methods afterwards.  since on reboot it stated that the monitor was no supported in that resolution i read an article to delete the .config/monitors.xml file02:06
BeldarBlackshear, Not much of a danger in linux, but always use caution.02:06
civpro2i tried this but it did not work either, i believe it might be with the tv i am using.  i am using hdmi02:06
varunendracivpro2, I have no experience with graphics drivers, just provided the basic info I knew. But hang on, maybe someone more knowledgeable would be able to help..02:07
civpro2i am hearing alot of i shouldnt do this or that but not 1 suggestion yet on what i should do02:07
civpro2ok i will hang on, thanks02:08
BeldarBlackshear, Never run in root and strong passwords are a good start.02:08
unamedyou know the name of your graphic cards civpro202:08
civpro2unamed, yes r9 290x also known as hawaii02:08
civpro2unamed, also i have 2 video cards of the same type, i didnt want to leave that out02:09
varunendracivpro2, you can list your graphics card and driver by these commands : "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga" (for short info) and "sudo lshw -numeric -C display" (for detailed info)02:10
Beldarcivpro2, THe only reason I said anything to you was I noticed a lack of any real pertinent details needed to get help here. This is to get you orientated to actually get help.02:10
varunendra..and always use pastebin for posting multiline outputs :) civpro202:10
civpro2Beldar, i understand, i did not take any offense to what you said02:12

unamedi send your a link civpro202:14
civpro2thanks02:14
varunendracivpro2, the command looks fine to me. It is just the "lspci" command with some options, then grep is filtering the output, that's all. Can you just use "lspci" command ?02:15

somsipPsil0Cybin: stop spamming for a start. Have some patience. You can see it's busy here03:05
varunendrapossum_, time to grasp things and respond back is short on IRC, especially when the channel is busy. Maybe try Ubuntu Forums (ubuntuforums.org)03:05

DaemeonZanehola folks. I have a quick question regarding the dist-upgrade flag for apt-get in 12.0403:17
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, working out for you?03:18
BeldarDaemeonZane, asking gets the answer03:18
DaemeonZaneI just set up a fresh 12.04 install, and then ran the usual apt-get update, then went for the apt-get dist-upgrade03:18
DaemeonZaneIt went thru the usual install without failure, but when I reboot, it still shows me on 12.0403:18
DaemeonZaneAny ideas on what I may have missed?03:18
BeldarDaemeonZane, dis-upgrade is a in release upgrade03:18

Psil0Cybinor the commands do not work :I(03:21
DaemeonZaneI thought the dist-upgrade was a complete distro overhaul, especially since a lot of the packages mentioned raring instead of precise03:21
somsipPsil0Cybin: given you cant even follow the bots instructions on not using Enter as punctuation, I'm not surprised you're struggling. Maybe you should take a break and try again later. I can't help you03:21
BeldarDaemeonZane, If you saw raring check the sources.list03:21

BeldarDaemeonZane, If you have just ran a dist-upgrade and not modified the sources list or mistakenly added raring repos there or in sources.list.d, you should not see raring, are you sure?03:24

possum_ok03:25
DaemeonZaneBeldar: There  aren't any references to Raring in my sources.list (I hadn't modded it before the dist-upgrade command was run) but I saw quite a few packages getting installed that mentioned raring in detail03:25
BeldarDaemeonZane, Detail, in a apt-get upgrade?03:26
chris429somsip: both computers have the same version of linux, and the same username, password, everything, both have internet, and both can ping eachother03:26
BeldarDaemeonZane, run sudo apt-get update and pastebin it.03:26
DaemeonZaneBeldar: Let's put it this way, in the almost 250 packages that got installed, I saw Raring on about half of them03:26
somsipchris429: and what are you using to connect to each other? NFS, Samba, SSH?03:27
MyComputerIsGoneDF3D2, I believe i'm ready for the next part, if you are03:27
chris429Nemo03:27
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, you got everything copied over?03:27
DaemeonZaneBeldar: Also, it just ran with 0 installed, removed, or upgraded when I ran it a second ago03:28

DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, make double sure03:28
MyComputerIsGoneI'm good, I think.03:28
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, so now you need to reinstall ubuntu right? do you have an install cd or another usb drive to make a bootable install ?03:29
varunendrapossum_, you may try the networking channel ##networking03:29
somsipchris429: I don't know what Nemo is. Try using the full path to the machine in the address bar of the file browser, eg: smb://192.168.1.3/03:29

somsipchris429: np03:30
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, okay so do you have another machine in the house ?03:30
MyComputerIsGoneyes, a couple.03:30
DF3D2okay go copy the files off that usb stick to one of those03:30
DF3D2and come back when you are ready03:30
varunendrapossum_, like I mentioned earlier, maybe try ubuntuforums. We do have some good users there who may have first hand experience of this kind of setup03:31
possum_ok03:31
MyComputerIsGoneUh, sorry, DF3D2. After copying the necessary files to the /media/usb1 folder, I don't believe that they have actually been transferred to the usb itself.03:33
BeldarDaemeonZane, If you run the update as I suggested ands pastebin it I can see if there is any anomaly03:33
DaemeonZaneBeldar: Like I said, I just did, it didn't return anything except that there wasn't anything to return03:33
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, yeah because I don't think I told you to mount it... :-( fail my bad03:34
MyComputerIsGoneoh, don't worry about it03:34
MyComputerIsGoneso uh03:34
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, okay so do this, cp /media/usb1 ~/03:34
DF3D2confirm the files are in ~/usb1 with "ls -al ~/usb1"03:35
DaemeonZaneBeldar: I'm running sudo do-release-upgrade -d now.... and it's putting me up to trusty. I think I may have just misunderstood the difference between it and apt-get dist-upgrade.03:35
hipitihop_Beldar, this is on livecd 12.04.3 and indeed the usb headset works out of the box, aalsa baseso it seems you were right re livecd not being conclusive03:36
MyComputerIsGoneOk, done.03:36
DaemeonZaneAfter I upgrade to trusty I'll just run the usual clean out of broken and old dependencies, see what's up03:36
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, confirmed files are in ~/usb1 ?03:36
BeldarDaemeonZane, You claimed to see raring, this makes no sense, so what I asked for was some evidence so we could find out whats up. May I suggest to to some extent follow simple requests and ask if you don;t understand rather than assume your answer makes any sense in the least.03:37
MyComputerIsGoneDF3D2, that's correct, they are03:37
somsipDaemeonZane: I'm just wondering why you didn't install the daily build for trusty insteasd of going down the path you have03:37
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1 && cp -vR ~/usb1 /media/usb103:38
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, that should copy them sorry I forgot to have you actually mount it before ~_~03:38
DaemeonZaneSomsip: Like I said, I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, thinking I'd wind up with the newest LTS distro, but apparently I just updated 12.04 like Beldar thought.03:38
DaemeonZaneBeldar: I ran the commands you suggested, Sir, and I told you, I returned that there were simply no updates available at that point03:39
somsipDaemeonZane: yes. That's what dist-upgrade does. Maybe a clean install of the trusty daily build will be the easiest path for you, though unsuported here so I'll shut up now03:39
DaemeonZaneI can't exactly force downgrade and re-run to show you what I mean03:39
BeldarDaemeonZane, I was not looking for updates I wanted to see the repos called.03:39
varunendraDaemeonZane, "do-release-upgrade" is the command for what you wanted. Not that I'm recommending it though ;)03:40
DaemeonZanelol varunendra I just ran it, though I told it NOT to do the upgrade03:41
DaemeonZaneAnd it appears, Beldar, that when running said command, I return nothing but precise sources03:41
BeldarDaemeonZane, Cool, thats all I was trying to confirm.03:42
DaemeonZaneWhy, by the way, would do-release-upgrade to trusty not be supported or recommended?03:42
DaemeonZaneJust curious03:42
hipitihop_Beldar, so at this point as per your inference, there is no guarantee that updating from my installed 12.04.3 to 13.10 will solve my usb headset being correctly detected. Is there anything straight forward I can run from this 12.04.3 live to compare against my installed one ?03:42
DaemeonZaneJust that it's pretty new, or what?03:43
BeldarDaemeonZane, Trusty is in development, not released yet03:43
MyComputerIsGoneDF3D2, I'm getting a mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/usb1 busy03:43
somsipDaemeonZane: some people have no problems with upgrading. Others have problems. It's probably cleaner to reinstall. It's not unsupported, just personal preference03:43
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, what does the command "mount" show ?03:43
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, make sure you aren't in /media/usb1 when you ran that command either03:43
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, cd ~/ and re run it03:44
DaemeonZaneAh... right on. Yeah, I was planning on setting up an Android build environment, and found out some of the packages were having issues installing in 12.04, but saw that a lot of those issues were ironed out in 13.04 and 13.10, so I thought I'd be getting one of those when I ran the apt-get dist-upgrade command. That's what I get for thinking lol03:44
MyComputerIsGonethere are two notices after reruning it (the same as before): the one i just mentioned and another, according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/usb103:45
Beldarhipitihop_, Not sure really, you may have done this already but I would look on the web for this sennheiser and 12.04 or ubuntu in general, askubuntu has a a lot of threads, and you may not be the only person in this delimma.03:45
Beldardilemma*03:45
MyComputerIsGonealso the very first time I ran it, it said cp: cannot create director '/media/usb1/usb1': Permisson denied03:46
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, ls -al /media/usb103:46
DF3D2you sure the files aren't on it ?03:46
Beldarhipitihop_, I would make a threa at the ubuntu forums as well probably.03:46
MyComputerIsGoneyes, interestingly enough there is nothing there03:46
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, this is odd03:46
DaemeonZaneI'll probably just hose the 12.04 and do a fresh install of the 13 LTS03:46
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, try "sudo cp -Rv ~/usb1 /media/usb103:47
DF3D2and then do ls -al /media/usb103:47
DF3D2It seems to be mounted correctly03:47
hipitihop_Beldar, yes done already, followed and tried those threads and the ubuntu sound troubleshooting steps, only thing not tried is to do a manual build of latest alsa, but since this livecd shows same versions of alsa-base & -tools i.e. 1.0.25 then issue must be elsewhere03:48
xanguaDaemeonZane: neither ubuntu 13.04 or 13.10 are LTS03:48
MyComputerIsGoneand again with the "." and ".." but nothing else, unfortunately03:48
MyComputerIsGoneoh wait03:48
DaemeonZane????03:48
DaemeonZaneNo lie... hmmm03:49
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, try just ls -l03:49
MyComputerIsGoneSorry, this time there is a usb1 folder in there as well, is that what we were going for03:49
Beldarhipitihop_, Ah, well there may be users who know but did not make a thread to get it working, but may answer a thread you make, so this seems like an option03:49
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, some odd reason doing ls -al doesn't seem to work the way it should on my system either03:49
DF3D2it makes it not show everything when it should03:50
MyComputerIsGoneYes, now I see all the files DF3D203:50
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, sorry about that but I swear it is a bug03:50
DaemeonZaneIt's been a long time since I've messed with Ubuntu at all. I've been on Mint because of work03:50
hipitihop_Beldar, yup, done that too and filed as bug03:50
DF3D2isnt ls -al supposed to show everything?03:50
DF3D2very odd03:50
MyComputerIsGoneThat's what I had heard...it's ok, don't worry about it. So, does everything else seem to be in order now?03:51
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, okay well now you can unmount the drive then "sudo umount /media/usb1" or sudo umount /dev/sdb1"03:51
Beldarhipitihop_, Cool, hope you get it resolved, seems possible if the phones work on the live environments.03:51
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, yea unmount it and then go copy the files03:51
Beldarhipitihop_ you can bump threads every 24 hors at the forums, so be sure to do that to get it on the list.03:52
MyComputerIsGoneOk, the files seem to all be there on the other machine!03:53
hipitihop_Beldar, thanks, I'll poke about a little more while I have this livecd botted to try and compare diffs with installed, then will boot back to installed and add more comments re this experiment03:53
xanguaHow can I create a PDF out of images? or add Images as pages to one existing PDF?03:53
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, cool so we need to make a bootable iso again, plug that drive back in to this machine03:53

SneakyTheBeaverCan you help me find the drivers so I can put them on the windows harddrive?04:05
hipitihop_Beldar, yes, its the same as my installed04:05
DF3D2MyComputerIsGone, well try the other mirror I gave you, it is listed as 10gbps connection so if it takes 5 hrs also then it would be based on your internet speed04:05

SneakyTheBeaveranyone know where drivers for network adapters are stored on ubuntu 13.1?04:06

ubottuSneakyTheBeaver: To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel,  for more info /msg ubottu kernel  , install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates).

aaaaaI'm installing ubuntu on a laptop, and the laptop already had an operating system installed. I partitioned the hard drive so that there was only one partition: that of the original operating system, and then some free space.

Beldarhipitihop_, The lsusb should be basically the same, as a guess the dmesg might have differentials depending on some variables, command, kernels and drivers...etc.04:21
somsipxentity1x: so there is a bug in the program according to that. You should report it as an issue to the author. However, it might be worth updating pcsx first. This might help on 13.10 (assuming you use the same PPA) http://is.gd/PTp9ly04:21

Cheryl_c_When I try to use the Ubuntu 14.4 software center it hangs up the computer. I have to reboot to get out of it.  Any suggestions would be helpful04:26
ses1984i tried to get nvidia proprietary drivers running on my system, now i just get a black screen04:26
ses1984if i move the mouse around, I see a cursor that looks like gnome hasn't loaded04:27
ses1984if i ctrl-alt-f1 or another, i just see no output to the monitor or just a cursor04:27
ses1984i can't log in at all. actually i am able to log in over SSH but i'm troubleshooting and failing04:28
somsipCheryl_c_: as the bot said, support for 14.04 is in #ubuntu+104:28
Cheryl_c_Sorry that was Ubunto 13.1004:28

ses1984the error log doesn't show me anything obvious that would explain why i see an X cursor but nothing else is loading and i cant even get a tty04:33
ses1984let me paste it04:33
somsipses1984: so are we assuming that the drivers are installed and you didn't purge them?04:34
pvl1ses1984: i just said, its because your session isnt loading. probably nothing to do with xserver itself. just a session script04:34
BeldarCheryl_c_, Basically this is just an attempt to open the software center to see if any errors show that may indicate the problem.04:35
hipitihop_Beldar, understand, I do same re only learn what I need, but other unrelated experiments some time back to do with lirc usb device, tought me that while lsusb may see the device, it is the dmesg details that can give hints as to what kernel module/driver may be grabbing it or failing04:36

Psil0CybinHey guys sorry I was having a problem attempting to install Ubuntu Server without a CD Drive on the server computer. I downloaded the ISO, Burned it with Startup Disk Creator, It would not work. I attempted to follow a few guides somsip and a few others listed, but it did not seem to work...someone suggested that guide was out of date?04:42
Psil0CybinSorry I am just home now, I was stressing at work because I never had that problem with an ISO install of Ubuntu server...odd.04:42
somsipPsil0Cybin: what version are you using?04:42
Psil0Cybin12.04 LTS.04:42
somsipPsil0Cybin: so the guide is appropriate.04:42
BeldarCheryl_c_, Try running in the terminal this command to see if you have any broken packages, I do see a bug with the software center, so run this. sudo apt-get -f install04:42
somsipPsil0Cybin: did you get the second link with more verbose instructions on it?04:42
Psil0CybinI attempted to use the guide, the problem is that when following the guide it suggested that it would allow me to add commands after I select Do not boot from CD. I found the menu to add commands in, and followed the commands...even figuring out that it was sda ! but when I did Alt+F4. It did not work, and nothing happened.04:43
BeldarCheryl_c_, I forgot to ask if you have run any updates as well.04:43
Psil0CybinI did not get a chance to get to the second link which someone suggested was newer.04:43
Psil0Cybincould someone perhaps please relink it?04:43
Psil0CybinMost of the googling I did sugggested to try other burning methods...04:44
somsipPsil0Cybin: [03:16] <somsip> Psil0Cybin: try a more recent version, that has possibly more verbose instructions http://is.gd/AxBJ1I04:44
Psil0Cybinty looking at it now04:44

Psil0Cybinif incase this does not work?04:46
Psil0Cybinor this "should" be the solution.04:46
somsipPsil0Cybin: the issue seems to be that you need to mount the USB in a way to fool the installer into thinking it's the CD. That's all. I've only looked for these two guides (other as previous)04:46
Psil0Cybinooohhh04:46
Psil0Cybinokay04:46
Psil0Cybinbut why  must I fool the installer? is there no installer for just a plain usb install?04:46
Psil0Cybinor was it the way it was burned?04:46
Psil0CybinI am just confused why this happened :P04:47
Psil0Cybinjust as a FYI type thing, so I know04:47
Psil0Cybinand learn04:47
somsipPsil0Cybin: There are plenty of instances of this happening which suggests it's a real problem. If you want a solution, try these and read more around it. If you want to bug report once you know what you want to say, great04:47

jakismy internet keeps disconnecting im on a wireless connection, and on ubuntu 12.04lts, what could be the problem?05:04
jKlausjakis.. I had the same issue with one wireless adapter.  It was the driver it was using05:05

somsipF^3: it depends what you are looking for. What functionality do you want?05:14
F^3TheAndrewK, What's the problem?05:14
TheAndrewKF^3:have had multiple issues so far: booting normally kicks me to a black screen with a blinking cursor; recovery booting freezes after a bit05:15
TheAndrewKwill attempt again05:15
F^3somsip, Clean, minimalistic, and just a WM and not a full DE. A background image/menu launcher would be a huge bonus.05:15
F^3I was thinking about looking into xmonade (sp?) or i305:15
TheAndrewKbooting 3.11.0-1405:16
somsipF^3: tiling or non-tiling?05:16

F^3somsip, If it can only tile text (terminal) based apps and float gui windows that would be a huge bonus.05:16

F^3Oh.. missed your last message. Did you already install it?05:17
TheAndrewKso I'm a bit stumped if there are driver issues05:17
packetscaperguys I have recently installed Ubuntu in my Dell inspiron. eveything is working fine but I am getting a lot cpu utilization even when a tab is opened05:17
F^3Hmm. What about unplugging the USB and cdrom device?05:17
packetscaperI think there is some issue with graphics card driver05:17
TheAndrewKF^3:worth a shot :)05:17
F^3packetscaper, It wouldn't stall so early on from what I understand.05:18
packetscaperpzl suggest something05:18
F^3TheAndrewK, if it was working on the other case it might be an issue with a shorting as well (unlikely)05:18
somsipF^3: possible the family of awesome/xmonad/dwm as they should allow per-screen layouts. EG: I use awesome and tile everything, but screen 1 has mail and skype, screen 2 has irc and browser, etc... Any of the screens could be floating rather than tiling. Throw in feh and dmenu and you might have what you need05:18
TheAndrewKyeah, this case is brand new so05:18
packetscaperI have installed it before05:18
packetscaperand have worked on it05:18
F^3somsip, Would it be possible to make it auto float though? I know I can manually float windows.05:19
mojtabaHi, Does anybody know how can I have Apple's Mac fonts in Ubuntu?05:19
TheAndrewKF^3:attempting a boot now.05:19
mojtabaOr simply use nicer fonts?05:19
somsipF^3: I can only advise on awesome. Yes. You setup rules based on window names, so Chrome will always float no matter which window it is on (example)05:20
=== SneakyTheBeaver is now known as SneakyBeaver-AFK

TheAndrewKF^3: this time, recovery boot - froze again at sd 10:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk05:22
somsipF^3: I'm not sure it would. Better to have terminals fixed to a specific screen and tile them there. If you don't get the idea of screens that have different layouts, maybe awesome is not what you need. Dunno about dwm and xmonad though05:22

F^3somsip, 90% of the time I use my PC as a HTPC05:22
F^3TheAndrewK, Sounds like SDC is busted and the kernel can't register the device halting the boot.05:23
TheAndrewKhmm, ok05:23
F^3so only one screen is used. I kind of like the idea of having terminal apps as part of my background I suppose.05:23
TheAndrewKI'll see if I can boot a live CD I suppose.05:23

_jamBeldar: everything has its own setup. the point is that a PPA should follow the package layout of ubuntu/debian, that way apt/aptitude/etc can just choose the latest version of the package and go on06:08
Beldar_jam, Heh, not sure that is more than a opinion, not a real actuality.06:09
_jamwell, I've been on debian and ubuntu for over 10 years, and every 3rd party repository/PPA I've used has used that convention06:09
Beldar_jam, Most ppa's are modified ubuntu packages not a whole app from a 3rd party however.06:10
Beldaranyway good luck06:10
_jamBeldar: false. almost all software that ships with ubuntu (and therefore almost all PPAs that add to or replace existing versions of that software) is 3rd party06:11

dshbusinesssomsip: Sorry, my type mistake. It's dd if=./ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb07:31
nerdtrondshbusiness: you don't have to dd the iso to create a bootable disk... you can use the startup disk creator for that..or unetbootin07:31

somsipdshbusiness: size of usb stick?07:34
dshbusiness8.1GB07:34
dshbusinessAnd the iso is less than 1GB07:34
somsipdshbusiness: and can you paste the command you use and the error output (use paste.ubuntu.com)07:35
ripthejackerdshbusiness: delete all the partitions in the card, format as fat, and then try dd07:35
dshbusinesssomsip: It does not report any error. dd returns on sucess. But when I reboot my computer, my BIOS cannot recognize the usb disk.07:36
somsipdshbusiness: I'm guessing that would be a bootable flag then07:37
dshbusinessWhen I use gnome's disk utility to check the usb disk. It has two patitions now.07:37

RavenI frequently use Skype and I sometimes want to use it from two different rooms, but using the same machine. If I connect two webcams to the same machine, running Ubuntu, what will happen? Is there a way I can switch from one webcam to the next?07:58
glenfordthanks07:59
ahreni installed ubuntu over the network and i installed also the xubuntu packages  how am i able to get a choice as to which window manager to use at startup?07:59
somsipahren: doesn't it show you a choice on the login screen? Id the login screen enabled07:59
somsip?07:59
ahrenno07:59
somsipahren: enable it, logout, try again07:59
ahreni checked ubuntu and xubuntu packages and it won't give me a login screen only the login screen for xubuntu08:00
ahrenhow do i do that08:00
ezra-sRaven, it will depend on the client, probably client can only be configured to use one cam at a time, use different clients, that is not an ubuntu question btw08:00
somsipahren: not sure - long time since I've done this. Somewhere in settings there will be a 'log in without password' or something similar. That bypasses lightdm login IIRC, if it's ticked.08:00
Ravenezra-s should I post in #linux?08:01
ezra-sRaven, I told you the answer08:01
ezra-sRaven, if you want to use skype you probably can't run it twice in the same session with the same user, so run it with two different users, configure the skype for each user to a different cam, problem solved08:02
ezra-slinux/ubuntu won't have problems detecting your usb devices plugged into it08:02
ezra-sanother matter are the drivers, but I bet most cams are handled well08:03
* hipitihop waves @ glitsj16 notes the hiding from hipitihop in fear, after yesterday's marathon08:03
Ravenezra-s so you're suggesting I make a separate user, so that I can do a second session, wherein I will run a second instance of skype08:03
ezra-sRaven, if Skype can't use two cams that is, I don't know skype sorry08:04
Ravenezra-s That is a good suggestion and I don't see why it wouldn't work... only I wish there were an easier way. Like a toggle switch utility, almost.08:04
ezra-sRaven, I'm guessing skype can't use two devices, in either case the problem won't be the OS, but the client08:04
dw-In gedit when I'm modifying a file over an FTP connection that I don't have write permission for if I try to save it says "Operation Failed" then crashes.  I then must do a killall gedit at terminal before it works again.  xkill alone doesn't do the trick.  Is this a known bug?  Where should I report it?08:04
somsipdw-: gedit requires X doesn't it? Use a text-only editor. Fix your permissions first. Maybe you mean SSH and not FTP...?08:05
ezra-sRaven, maybe there are alternatives to Skype which can do what you want, do some research, aka "internet search"08:05
dw-somsip: it's a nautilus ftp connection.  works fine when i fix permissions but if I don't check them manually first then I risk crashing and losing my whole workspace/tabs08:06
ahrensomsip, it has been a while since i used ubuntu what would i have to search for in google08:07

hipitihopglitsj16, so interesting info, but that leaves the $64k question, why08:35

Asithadoes anyone know how to setup ipv6 properly on ubuntu? I'm completely stuck :(09:40
cheryl_cDoes boot repair actually work?09:40
ikoniaAsitha: define properly, the network-manager interface does it just fine normally09:41
utkarsh_ya I killed it now my cpu is back. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu in my Dell laptop but my laptop gets heated up abnormally, even when the cpu utilisation is low09:41
ezra-sAsitha, it's simple, ubuntu has network-manager, select your network interface, go to it's configuration, there should be a ipv6 tab09:41
AsithaI had recently moved from bluehost to my own vps and noticed a huge delay when I started using facebook authentication09:42
AsithaAfter various steps, when I disabled ipv6, the delay was gone and things were running fine again09:42
AsithaWhich leads me to believe there is some misconfiguration there that is causing the issue09:42
ikoniaAsitha: your reasoning is false09:42
AsithaI've also tried to use ping6 and it can't seem to connect to any host09:43
ikoniayou've just disabled ipv6 - how do you expect it to work09:44
AsithaI reenabled it and was testing it again09:44
ikoniaAsitha: do you have valid IPV6 networking information ?09:44
ikoniaAsitha: eg: a valid IPV6 IP for the network you ar eon09:45
ikoniaare on09:45

AsithaI have 3 ipv6 addresses09:45
ikoniaAsitha: I'm assuming you also have IPv4 addresses running on the same machine09:46
Asithayes09:46
ikoniaAsitha: ok, so I'd be looking at your ipv6 gateway as a starting point09:46
AsithaWhat should I be looking for there?09:47
ikoniaAsitha: a valid and reachable gateway09:48
ikoniaAsitha: this will make sure it's not trying to push the ipv6 out of the ipv4 gateway (if the ipv4 gateway can't handle that)09:48

AsithaMy host was the one that provided it09:49
ikoniaif you don't need it why are you using it09:50
AsithaWell for one thing - I want to be able to have it working instead of disabling it completely09:50
ikoniaif it's causing you a problem disable it and forget about it09:50
ikoniaAsitha: why do you want it working if you're using ipv409:51
AsithaBetter to learn now, than to wait for it become popular and me becoming outdated :P09:51
AsithaAlso, I felt guilty when I posted on serverfault09:51
Asithaand some guy was like "don't pretend the issue doesn't exist"09:51
Asitha-_-09:51
ikoniaAsitha: then talk to your hosting provider and ask for details on their network09:51
AsithaSo I decided to try and figure out the fix09:51
ikoniaAsitha: your trying to configure something with no understanding of the network09:51
ikonia"I don't know it was there when I bought it" is not enough to know how to configure it properly09:52
ezra-sI'm with ikonia, to solve it you need to understand it a bit09:52
AsithaI guess you both are right09:53
ikoniaAsitha: your host should be able to give you the information to configure it, or give you the information so you can figure out what's wrong09:54
AsithaAlright - I'll just open a ticket and see what they can figure out09:55

ezra-sAsitha, 1º for your own host 1 ip should be fine, so having 3 is of no use to you unless you have specific needs. Ip's are usually assigned via dhcp, or assigned manually, in most cases ipv6 addresses are just local so they won't reach anywhere or just the lan they are in, not internet. If you had issues connecting somewhere and you found disabling ipv6 solved it , chances are the software you used tried to connect via ipv6 first and ipv6 is not conn09:57

kostkonmerandus, install this package:  ubuntu-keyring   obviously ignore the key warnings on this one10:17
meranduskostkon: ok just a sec10:17
meranduskostkon: it says it's already installed and newest version.  it says 66  not updated though10:19
merandushttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6708309/10:19
merandusthats what i get for apt-get update10:19
kostkonmerandus, you could try sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring --reinstall && sudo apt-get upgrade10:22
kostkonmerandus, now that you have a sources.list file you could try to select a different mirror in updater settings10:23

merandusllutz: i get some IP numbers it seems10:34
llutzmerandus: check your dns-server10:34
merandusllutz: how can i do that?10:35
merandusllutz: should i edit resolv.conf?10:37
llutzmerandus: how is your network configured? router -> dhcp or static ips?10:37
ezra-smerandus, in default ubuntu resolv.conf is dynamically generated so if you use dhcp I recommend against it10:37
merandusllutz: it's a vps, hosted by EXSI10:37
merandusvmware EXSI it seems. the vps provider is using10:38
ezra-smerandus, if you use dhcp use /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf instead10:38
llutzmerandus: add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head  and run "sudo resolvconf -u" then10:38
llutzmerandus: or edit your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and set "prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;"10:39
llutzmerandus: use any dns-server ip you want, 8.8.8.8 is google but there are other10:39
merandusllutz: should i do both of those? or just one.10:39
llutzmerandus: one10:39
merandusllutz: ok  on it10:40
ezra-s /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head is dynamic if using dhcp10:40
llutzezra-s: base is, head shouldn't. or am i wrong?10:41
meranduswell, i don't know how vmware EXSI works, so, i assume i'll be doing the second one10:41
ezra-sllutz, #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN10:41
llutzezra-s: thats the statement to appear in /etc/rsolv.conf later10:41
ezra-sllutz, lol, sorry10:41
llutzezra-s: head is just copied to generate resolv.conf file10:42

queretarohitsujiTMO: I'm using default GRUB installation10:54
varunendraqueretaro, not the latest, until you manually choose to, but even by default you certainly should have a higher kernel installed and in use10:55
Beldarqueretaro, No other linux OS's right?10:56
queretarovarunendra: I must say that I'm using a Vagrant box that might be somewhat old. However, I ran apt-get update & apt-get upgrade to see if aptitude upgraded the kernel10:56

caring_ish_ezra-s, it's suggesting everything is dependent on it & it's an optional package which is not able to be uninstalled11:00
llutzmerandus: static ip, thus you have to change resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head   to change your dns. thats why no nameserver entry is found11:00

queretarovarunendra: only 23-0 and 30-0. however, I just purged the 30-0 kernel and apt automatically installed the latest one (58-generic)11:11
varunendraqueretaro, as a side note, is there a particular reason why you are using root ??11:11
hitsujiTMOmerandus: untar them and see if they have a readme11:11
caring_ish_ok, now I am trying to update to 13.04, though the update manager is attempting to set the upgrade to 13.1011:11

Beldar!root | queretaro11:14
ubottuqueretaro: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo11:14

queretaroI usually sudo su, but yes. What I like about sudo is that it logs what it's been done11:16
Gallomimiaadding a root password opens risks. no root password, no root login. unless it's actually a server and you want to ssh in as root. more risks...11:16

jordan_can someson tell me how to remove linux mint (not duel boot) and install windows12:37
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, in the terminal output its states that there is a API mismatch, but it does not state it in the Xorg.0.log pasted12:38
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: well, try applying all available updates first and reboot.12:39
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: i.e.: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo reboot12:40
Gallomimiawow. what the HELL is wrong with apt-get today. i just want to uninstall the samba packages i added with install samba4, and try installing samba(no4). and the bloody thing wants to remove mplayer for me. I USE THAT PROGRAM12:40
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, ok, i already did a sudo apt-get upgrade , haven’t reboot yet12:40
Gallomimiasee you soon then12:41
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, rebooting ....12:42
jordan_can someone tell me how to uninstall linux mnt (not duel boot) and install xubuntu12:42
MasterOfDisasterwas the last thing she/he posted :D12:42
llutzjordan_: just boot the xubuntu installation disk and install it. let it overwrite the old filesystems12:43
MasterOfDisasterjordan_: when in the partitioning step of the installation, just remove the old linux partitions and recreate them.12:43
jordan_it wont let me boot from my usb and i have the xubuntu files on that i think linux mint has screwed up12:44
MasterOfDisasterjordan_: if you stored anything in your /home, you should back it up beforehand.12:44
MasterOfDisasterjordan_: linux is not responsible for any BIOS settings, including boot order.12:45
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, sorry i did not see the line you posted, after the update, i have 163mb to upgrade, will do it now.12:45
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: nevermind12:45
jordan_i know but whenever i try to boot my usb the screen just stays black when i click install12:45
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, is the latest kernel for ubuntu 12.04 then 3.8.0?12:46
MasterOfDisasterjordan_: recreate your usb boot medium or verify it against checksums to be safe.12:46
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: checking...12:46
jordan_it does the same thing with any windows or ubuntu disks too if that helps12:47
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, and i think that long ago i got the nvidia driver from their website, and install it that way, not through the repos, nvidia and linux was not that close then12:47
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: to be safe stick with the driver from the repos. it is patched to be compatible with the kernel and X version.12:48
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: don't give in to versionitis, if everything runs smoothly :D12:48
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: 3.8.x sounds right12:49
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: you can check package versions online: packages.ubuntu.com12:49
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, ok. After the upgrade, how can i check if the driver is from the repos, or not?12:49

hitsujiTMOsorry*12:50
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, ok, thanks i will check the kernel versions there, in future12:50
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: apt-cache policy nvidia-current-updates <-- should list the one from 12.04 repos there as preferred12:51
sandraheyhitsujiTMO, no prop. MasterOfDisaster was of great help so far, but i still have no desktop, i am busy to get all the updates for now, still got 24 min to go12:51
tkern_ALL: LTS 12.04 and displaymanager lightdn >> no login screen,12:53
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: verify that this is the only driver package installed: dpkg --get-selections | /bin/grep nvidia12:54
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: not all in this list are driver packages, but their names should be recognizeable.12:54
MasterOfDisastertkern_: provide some information - logs? dmesg? something?12:55
sandraheyMasterOfDisaster, ok, it is still busy downloading , is there a way to open another terminal?12:55
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: gnome-terminal?12:55
hitsujiTMOtkern_: pastebin /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log      you will need sudo to access that file12:55
MasterOfDisastersandrahey: ah, my bad12:55

linelevelhitsujiTMO: That did nothing. Before running it, I ran `synclient -l | grep TouchpadOff` and it was already set to 0. Also, I should mention: the touchpad 'tapping' still does something even though the touchpad doesn't work otherwise: when this problem happens, a normal "tap" acts like a right-click (as opposed to the usual left-click).19:58

possum_c_smith: so maybe i have to add a repository with a newer version?20:00
c_smithpossum_, the Ubuntu Wiki has an article on this.20:00
bekksrostam: No, reboot into a livecd and run fsck -f20:00
c_smithpossum_, you probably used AMD's script.20:00
hitsujiTMOlinelevel: maybe try turning it off and on again: synclient TouchpadOff=1 && synclient TouchpadOff=020:00
linelevelhitsujiTMO: Rebooting always fixes the problem, but is very inconvenient (obviously). I was hoping there's a way to stop/start a service or something that would reset its state.20:00
possum_c_smith: does "cannot be downloaded" mean the repository is missing?20:00
c_smithpossum_, no clue.20:01
possum_c_smith: would i have to purge it first?20:01
possum_c_smith: whast recommended, the script or a repo?20:01
c_smithpossum_, well, normally the official repos. but you've gone beyond that for 12.04 and run into issues, so the newest version looks likely to be the best bet.20:01
linelevelhitsujiTMO: That didn't fix it either. I split it into 2 commands: after setting TouchpadOff=1, tapping did nothing. After reseting TouchpadOff=0, the previous behavior (can't move the mouse, tapping right-clicks) was restored.20:02
c_smithpossum_, here's Ubuntu's wiki page about fglrx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI20:02

spearheadPsil0Cybin, you can make up a host name just make sure it doesn't match anything else on the network21:59
spearheadmaybe something like ubuntu-server21:59
Jeffro_dougl, do I need to put kubuntu on a cd?22:00
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: your dhcp should have supplied namerserver then.            the hostname is a unique name for the computer.22:00
JO0stjeffro, you can install from a memory stick22:00

andresmhI have headless Ubuntu 13.10 on a little ARM device with a wifi adapter connected to it.

Jeffro_the largest mem stick I have is 16 gb. Is that big enough?22:01

Jeffro_spearhead, I am running ubuntu 10.xx22:02

Jeffro_spearhead, it kubuntu an easier install than ubuntu?22:03

possum_JO0st: correct*22:07
possum_OerHeks: why?22:07
spearheadJeffro_: the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is the desktop environment, ubuntu 10.xx used the gnome interface which is what you are used to, since then ubuntu has switched to unity which takes some getting used to but is really easy for the end user. KDE is the other very popular option and that is what kubuntu runs. this website has screenshots showing the basic difference between gnome and kde http://www.linuxuser.co.uk22:07

Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: I keep getting your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol22:13
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: you can skip network config and configure it after the install has finished if theres a problem. Usually the only reason for the auto config to fail is that you have a driver issue or no dhcp22:13

Psil0Cybinif I have a hard drive raided system22:42
Psil0Cybinwhy would It show up all my hard drives as seperate partitions22:43
Psil0Cybindoes that mean it was a software raid?22:43
DaemonicApathyWell, I figured I would assign a particular user's home dir to a flash drive, and remove the name from the login list. After that, it should only take a simple script to add/remove the name from the login list when the drive is mounted. I just didn't know if I was missing anything.22:43

yeahitsmeDaemonicApathy: you could potentially store a /home directory on another hard drive and mount it whenever you need, but you would probably need some chroot magic to get settings and login and that kind of stuff to work22:43

Beldarsmallfoot-, sudo update-grub22:45
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: for lvm encrytion you need to have access at initramfs when booting to enter the encryption password (before ssh is up) so if you don't have that access then defo leave off the encryption22:45
Psil0Cybinkk ty22:45
Psil0Cybinbut do u perhaps have a guide for raiding a system for Ubuntu Server22:45

Psil0Cybinthey said it would be easy to do with windows, and they never did it on linux22:46
DaemonicApathyyeahitsme: I was considering adding a user with a pre-made home dir, then removing the user when the session was done, but it would be easier to have it be persistent if possible.22:46

What should I do to see my apps in messaging menu ? Thanks!23:04

Psil0Cybinhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6711804/23:10
Psil0CybinI am installing a server, followed all steps but stuck here23:10
Beldarstartouf, no problem, not familiar with that is all.23:10
Psil0Cybinit will not let me continue23:10
Psil0Cybindo i jut connect sda223:10
Psil0Cybinand sdc223:10
Psil0Cybinand sda2?23:10
startoufBeldar : well I've checked there.. nothing refers to Ubuntu 13.10, anyway it seems it's a known bug23:10
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: ok you want to mirror each of the 3 partitions, so the first md device should be /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1        next should be /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdc2  etc23:11
Psil0CybinAHHH!23:11
Psil0Cybinomg thank you!!23:11
Psil0Cybinseems straight forward...sheesh23:11
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO:23:12
Psil0Cybinso i selected, sda1 sdb1 and sdbc123:12
Psil0Cybinand it gave me the raid can be configured no adition changes are made23:13
Psil0Cybinso this will be shown everytime i add each three?23:13
Psil0Cybinyup thanks23:13
Psil0Cybinfiguring it out :) phew.23:14
Psil0Cybinafter i am done the three md's I go to finish23:14
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: when I go to finish partition and write changes to disk23:15
Psil0Cybinit says I am missing a root drive....23:15
Psil0Cybinsays no root file system.23:15
Psil0Cybindid i make a mistake??23:15
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: you need to assign what each md is. so need to assign which md is efi sys part, which is root and which is swap23:16
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: sorry do i go back to Guided partitioning?23:16
Psil0CybinAfter I am at the menu where it lets me finish?23:16
Psil0Cybinit shows me guided partition configure software raid configure logical voume manager23:16
Psil0Cybinthen shows me the partitions then says undo or finish23:16
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: when yuo created the partitions it should have given you the option to assign them too23:17
Psil0CybinI think it just automatically created 3 partitions in each.23:17
Psil0CybinI think it auto assigned them?23:18
alumnoHola e.e23:18
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: What would i do tat this point? If I am assuimg they where auto assigned?23:19
=== SJrX is now known as SJr
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: or am i supposed to select a partition?23:19
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: hmm. yes it should have been auto assigned.23:19
Psil0CybinIt shows me all 3 hard drive, 3 partitions each23:20
Psil0Cybinit says raid by each of the partitions23:20
Psil0Cybinbut it still shows them 3 in each hard drive23:20
localg0dmsg hey guys23:20
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: you should be able go back and assign.23:20
localg0dhow do i reset the password for root if i am using a live disc ?23:20
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: how far do I go back?23:20
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: just hit go back and you should have a list of the drives and you should be able to edit them then23:21
Psil0Cybini hit go back23:21
Psil0Cybinand it took me back to the install main manu23:21
Psil0Cybini am on partition disks23:22
hitsujiTMOo.O . unless you were already at the list. ok.23:22
Psil0Cybinoh23:22
Psil0Cybini was at the list23:22
Psil0Cybini was just confused which one to select.23:22
spearheadlocalg0d, i don't know how to do it from a live-cd but I could tell you how to change the root password if you are logged in as a user who is on the sudoers list23:22
Psil0CybinI do not know what to select hitsujiTMO I just went to finish23:22
Psil0Cybinand it said no root file system23:22
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: ok. if theres md devices select, if not select the sdXYs and assign them23:22

FloodBot1Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.23:24
Psil0Cybinand the hard drives bellow and the partitions..23:24
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: ahh ok. so thats the mds.23:24
Psil0Cybinahhh23:24
Beldarlocalg0d, What is the context here, and your end goal besides what your have mentioned?23:25
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: what size are each one?23:25
Psil0Cybinso I click enter on Raid Device #0?23:25
Beldaryou*23:25
Psil0Cybindcevice #0 is 196.1 MB Software Raid23:25
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: thats your /boot/efi23:25
Psil0Cybindevice #2 is a 2.0 TB Software RAID Device23:25
hitsujiTMOthats your /23:25
Psil0Cybinand device 3 = 17 .1 GB software raid device23:25
hitsujiTMOthats your swap23:25
localg0dBeldar, I am trying to set the root password on my liveboot usb ..23:25
Psil0Cybinso 17.1 GB23:25
Psil0Cybinis the OS?23:25
spearheadlocalg0d, sudo passwd root will ask you for your password and then allow you to change the root password sudo passwd -l root will remove the root password essentially disabling the root account23:25
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: no thats your swap file. youve ~16gb ram on the server is it?23:26
ikonialocalg0d: you don't set the root password in ubuntu - it's a locked account23:26
Beldarlocalg0d, That does not really make sense, just curious why?23:26
localg0d(sudo passwd root) and then it will ask me for my new password ?23:26
localg0dikonia, wrong.. i've done it before but it's been more than a year since i've done this work23:26
ikonialocalg0d: no, it's not wrong - your approach is wrong23:26
localg0dBeldar, so that I can setup a live boot cd for my father ... he keeps crashing my laptop at home..23:26
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: I think so23:26
Psil0Cybinor 8Gb23:26
Psil0Cybinnot sure atm23:27
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: so which one do I select?23:27
ikonialocalg0d: the ubuntu security model locks the root account, so it shouldn't have a root password, so there is no need to set it23:27
Psil0Cybin2.0 TB?23:27
spearheadlocalg0d, yes but as ikonia said you should disable it, you can do anything you need to from sudo23:27
anewok so now my problem is - i'm running  aperl script which connects to the vpn, then is supposed to kill the vpn connection when it ends.  problem is, it connects... then doesnt execute the kill command ...23:27
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: the 2.0 TB raid device #1?23:27
localg0dBeldar, so if I create a live boot cd or usb ... his login can be restored if he screws up the computer.. i'm creating a static copy of live boot linux for him using penguin pendrive setup tool23:27
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: select raid 1 and make sure its assigned as efi system partition and mounted as /boot/efi23:27
spearheadlocalg0d, using the root account is a good way to brick your system23:27
Psil0Cybini select raid # 123:28
Psil0Cybinand it says23:28
Psil0CybinYou are edition partition #1 of raid5 device 023:28
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: sorry, should have said dev 023:28
Psil0CybinNo existing file system was detected in this partition23:28
Psil0Cybinpartition settings.23:28
localg0dMy end goal Beldar and other users. Is so that I may create a live-boot system for my father.. so he can save his firefox settings etc.. he doesn't download or install anything.. he's a normal facebook user etc...23:28
Psil0Cybincopy data, erase data, done setting up parttiiotn23:28
spearhead!enter | Psil0Cybin23:28
ubottuPsil0Cybin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!23:28
ikonialocalg0d: so you don't need a root password for that23:28
Beldarlocalg0d, If he used the guest account or a limited account of his own there is not much he could do, does he have your password?23:28
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO:23:29
localg0dOnce I use the root account with the password being reset I will create a second user on the live drive to enable him to login seperately from the actual root account.. then re-lock the root23:29
Psil0Cybini did not install the file system yet23:29
Psil0Cybinall i did was parttion it?23:29
Psil0Cybini am confused...23:29
spearheadlocalg0d, you can just create another account with admin access and do everything from sudo and never even touch root23:29
localg0dno he doesn't have my password and he was using an older version of ubuntu before the newer one that is more friendly came out so yes he used my old account and crashed the system23:29
Psil0Cybinit gives me partition settings? It does not let me label or rename or something23:29
localg0dok spearhead ... how do i create a new account from inside the live boot usb drive ?23:29
ikonialocalg0d: the ubuntu root password has been locked since version 123:29
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: does it let you set the partition type?23:30
ksianhow to mount a NTFS samba share with rw access???23:30
localg0dikonia, i know.. but i changed the password to prevent rootrz etc...23:30
spearheadlocalg0d, does it have persistance?23:30
ikonialocalg0d: then you have no idea what you are doing - you've just created a securtiy hole23:30
ikonialocalg0d: so you are the problem - not your father/ubuntu23:30
Psil0Cybinwhen i click on the 196.1 mb parttiion hitsujiTMO it just gives me Use As: do not use / Copy data from another parttion/ earase data from this partition/ done settings up the partition23:31
localg0dyes it has persistence.. spearhead , that is the word i was looking for not the word static..23:31
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: use as: efi system partition23:31
Psil0Cybinit says that under you are editing partition # 1 of raid5 device #0 no existing file system was detected in this partiton23:31
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO:23:31
localg0dikonia, please don't act condescendant to me... lol23:31
Psil0Cybindoes not let me select anything23:31
Psil0Cybinjut says use as do not use23:32
Psil0CybinOh23:32
FloodBot1Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.23:32
ikonialocalg0d: I'm not, I'm telling you the truth as you are making more problems than you fix23:32
=== BrianH is now known as Guest71540
Psil0Cybinokay!23:32
ikonialocalg0d: and blaming your father/ubuntu for these problem will not help you stop creating the problems you are trying to fix23:32
spearheadlocalg0d, then just create a user in the system settings > users23:32
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: so it gives you no options when you hit enter on use as?23:32
Psil0Cybinso raid5 device #0 / # 1 is no 196.1 MB EFIboot23:32
Psil0Cybinokay!!23:32
Psil0Cybin:D good!23:32
Psil0Cybinnow dedvice # 1 = # 1 2.0 TB is...23:32
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: and it should be mounted as /boot/efi23:32
Psil0Cybinit just says23:32
Psil0Cybin196.1 MB B f EFIboot23:33
spearheadlocalg0d, or if you want commandline sudo adduser23:33
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: Psil0Cybin go into dev #1 and use as ext4 and set that to mount as /23:33
spearheadlocalg0d, sudo adduser new_username23:33
Psil0Cybinokay23:33
Psil0Cybinso thats for the 2.0 TB drive hitsujiTMO23:33
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: then go back to #0 nd see if you can set it to be mounted as /boot/efi23:33
Psil0Cybincorrect?23:33
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: yes23:34
localg0dspearhead, thank you ...23:34
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO:23:34

Psil0Cybineeep okay we will see23:35
Psil0Cybinso23:35
localg0derrr spearhead , let me rephrase... May I add a user as an administrator right away ? or is it just going to be a normal user...23:35
Psil0Cybindev # 2 and #1 17.1 GB23:35
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: now sdev #2 : use as: swap23:35
Psil0Cybinis the swap?23:35
Psil0Cybinokay23:35
FloodBot1Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.23:35
spearheadlocalg0d, a new user is admin by default unless specified as limited23:35
spearheadlocalg0d, a "normal" user in linux is an admin23:36
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO:23:37
Psil0Cybinso far so good23:37
Psil0Cybinthank you so much, i will keep you posted ::D I owe you a medel.23:37
localg0dspearhead, duh.. i forgot (smacks forehead)23:37
localg0dspearhead, so once I log out of the account after creating the user on the persistent user it will let me log in on the persistent user always ?23:38
hitsujiTMOlocalg0d: an "admin" will have the groups adm and sudo23:38
hitsujiTMOlocalg0d: and lpadmin23:39
Dresk|LaptopSo how the heck would I go about finding out why it takes so long for a USB webcam, following the USB webcam standards, to initialize under Linux?  It takes like 90 seconds after boot in Ubuntu (udev), and what's strange is the dmesg log (http://pastebin.com/FhUs99dt) shows that it finds the webcam right away, but 50 seconds later it finds a microphone on it (which it doesn't have)23:39
spearheadlocalg0d, i would suggest creating a user in the system settings > users because it is easy and you can adjust what privileges the user has23:39
localg0di don't see a system settings..23:40
localg0di'm currently in the ultimate edition booted into the live setup..23:40
ikoniaultimate edition is not a supported distro23:40
ikoniaas it is not an ubuntu product23:40
hitsujiTMOultimare edition?23:40
ikoniahitsujiTMO: poor respin23:40
spearheadlocalg0d, what ubuntu is this? 13.10?23:41
ikoniaultimate edition as he's just stated23:41
ikoniaso it's not ubuntu23:41
localg0dnot sure but the questions i need support for are general tech questions23:41
ikonialocalg0d: it's not supported here23:41
localg0dand it's an ubuntu derived system23:41
ikonialocalg0d: there are differences in the spin23:41
ikonialocalg0d: it has support resources listed on it's website if that helps23:41
localg0di can't access those.. somethings' wrong with my web.. this is the ONLY thing working right now... including what servers are accessible..23:42
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: made a mistake when it asked if i wanted to install open-ssh and mailserver, i clicked next by accident..obviously i can reinstall these aplpications jut like any other linux system correct?23:43
ikonialocalg0d: then I suggest you fix the problems and access those support resources23:43
ikonialocalg0d: we don't support it here23:43
localg0dhmm... ikonia , i don't want to sit here and argue with you .. don't have the time...23:43
ikonialocalg0d: no problem, good luck23:43
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: ofc23:43

I am asking does anyone know what exactly are the parameters I must edit/config so that I can tell dnsmasq to use the gateway I assign it t23:50

Psil0Cybinbut would I have to redo everything hitsujiTMO or it might just be as simple as changing a file?23:54
Psil0Cybinto fix this issue..23:54
spearheaddougl: if you do install it, wait for it to finish then logout and on the login page it should allow you to switch between window managers23:54
hitsujiTMOloki_: i'm afraid i've no idea why thats happening.23:54
Daemoenanyone by chance familiar with the state of kickstart support in ubuntu12 ?23:55
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: it might be to do with the fact that the efiboot wasn't mounted as /boot/efi so it didnt install the boot info to the efi boot manager23:55
ikoniaDaemoen: it works fine - but it's not really the standard for debian based distros23:55
Daemoenikonia: i know, and since when are you an ubuntuer?  havent seen you in #rhel in a while23:55
Chertani got a vps running ubuntu 13.10 and i'd want to have a daily backup, possibly on ubuntu one... but i can't use deja-pup cause i don't have any graphical interface there... is there a way to let duplicity make backups on ubuntu one without deja-pup?23:55
ikoniaDaemoen: I don't use it really, I do follow it's developments though23:56
Daemoenikonia: unfortunately, preseed is very rough when it comes to partitioning :)23:56
ikoniaDaemoen: I'm in #rhel now23:56
qinChertan: rsync23:56
Daemoenikonia: ok fine, let me rephrase, havent seen you chat much lately in there :p23:56
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: so do you think that this is an issue that we can fix? Or am I going to be stuck at some point and might have to start all over?23:56
ikoniaDaemoen: the netsplits caught me out23:56
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: is this an issue that can be resolved? Or did I just cause a big problem?23:56
Psil0Cybin13 minutes until I am done getting the iso.23:57
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: should be fixable with a bit of chrooting23:57
Beldar!rsync | Chertan23:57
ubottuChertan: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync23:57

Daemoenok, back to working on my ubuntu preseed config :|23:57
Psil0Cybinill get back to u in a few minutes once i have the live cd ready23:57
ikoniaDaemoen: as long as you don't use anything thats not in ubuntu, eg: the selinux --disable type options it works23:58
ikoniaDaemoen: and anything you pass to pressed config you can/should be able to translate to kickstart23:58
ikoniaDaemoen: but I've found not everything works23:58
Daemoenikonia: the part im having lots of fun with is the partitioning23:58
Blackshearim tryting to use playonlinux to install itunes but it doesnt seem to be working23:58
Daemoeni am SOOO spoiled on kickstart lvm partitioning from rhel23:59
Chertanqin Beldar so you mean i should use rsync for backups on ubuntu one?23:59
Blackshearhow can i install itunes?23:59
ikoniaDaemoen: not a raid disk by any chance is it ?23:59
ikoniaBlackshear: you can't23:59
Daemoennope23:59
Daemoenpure lvm23:59
Blackshearikonia, why23:59
Psil0CybinhitsujiTMO: it might be a little longer 15 minutes till the ISo is done23:59
jacob_i upgraded to ubuntu 13.1 and now  my streaming video is really choppy. any ideas on how i can fix this?23:59
hitsujiTMOPsil0Cybin: np23:59
Psil0Cybinand then I am going to burn it and message you right away once I am booted into the live CD.23:59
Beldarjacob_, Gotta have some patience, a live channel does not mean immediate help, you have to wait till someone answers.23:59
ikoniaDaemoen: I had problems with raid disk partioning in kickstart on ubuntu, when the config worked just fine on rhel and it was to do with the clearpart option failing23:59
jacob_k ;)23:59
ikoniaDaemoen: maybe something similar for you23:59
