[00:54] 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? [00:55] hitsujiTMO, err - probably, right ? [00:55] denysonique: If the binaries are open-source then the package (or one of its dependencies) should build them [00:56] TJ-: I don't have makefiles for it [00:56] actually, 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] dougl: that may beed to be updated independently. boot kubuntu 13.04. from there run: sudo update-grub then restart [00:56] 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 package === don is now known as Guest55552 [00:57] hitsujiTMO, gotcha thanks brb [00:57] denysonique: See for example the flashplugin-installer [00:58] TJ-: why cannot the fetching be done in the source package and the bins as the result distributed in the binary package?

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?

[01:20] hipitihop, I would wait for 14.04 in april or just go up one by ine to 13.10 or fresh install. [01:22] Beldar, "up by ine ..." ? [01:22] hipitihop, 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. [01:25] I try to make correct sentences and spell everything right, however this is not my grad work so uh you know. [01:25] Oh [01:25] hi [01:26] 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 [01:26] Beldar, 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 proposing [01:27] btw im in recovery mod and it works fine (exept resolution is lower and i cant set it up higher) [01:27] hipitihop, No idea, that is your job to research, technically ppa's are not supported here. [01:28] 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 [01:29] what should i do??? [01:30] Beldar, do you suggest I just upgrade to 13.10 from 12.04.3 ? [01:30] hi, hipitihop why haven you wait for 14.04 [01:31] hipitihop, I don't know your issues, so without I would suggest a dual boot to see if 13.10 fixes the issues. [01:31] 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?????? [01:32] unamed, That would mean waiting till April to use a new Sennheiser USB heaset :-( [01:32] hipitihop, 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. [01:33] Im 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"? [01:34] Beldar, 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 vm [01:34] Blackshear, YOu sure you need to run the cd, does it not work? [01:34] well the instructions say to install the cd first [01:35] then plug the usb adapter in when prompted [01:35] whats the infobot called? [01:35] blackshear with the new version of ubuntu the usb mode-switch is included by default if your driver is recognized no need to install your cd [01:35] hipitihop, 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] got to your network configuration applet to see if your system detect your mobile brand provider network [01:36] ok [01:36] Beldar, 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] Blackshear you should not need CD [01:36] it wont work either way [01:36] t wont? [01:36] why [01:36] Well.. It will not auto run [01:36] no need it should work [01:36] ok [01:36] insert your usb and wait [01:37] !win2-7 [01:37] 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 [01:38] hipitihop, 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. [01:39] asd, Fresh install and has it ever worked?

[01:54] knightshade, thanks, but struggling to find /etc/issue maybe its because I tend to use unetbootin to produce the bootable usb stick [01:54] Thanks! [01:55] bledar, i alreadt installed, but i didnt update during the installation [01:55] Hello, how can I get a Radeon HD 7520G card working in 13.10? [01:55] Its on a laptop. [01:56] Blackshear, You can tab complete nicks, so that they are spelled correctly and they show up as red like this one does to you and notifies the user you answered them. [01:56] hipitihop: just plug the usb drive in, open nautilus, click the usb drive, direct to the etc folder, click the issue file [01:56] knightshade: thank you guysa [01:56] I am going to tread the raid guides, and check it out and see hot it works. [01:56] how it works* [01:56] Psil0Cybin: you're welcome [01:57] Beldar, it doesnt show up red, so how would i do the system update [01:58] i see a white x and a black screen after installing drivers for a r9 290x [01:58] any advice? [01:58] Blackshear launch terminal [01:58] knightshade, thanks I know how to browse the drive, lets be clear, this is a bootable livecd on a usb stick we are talking about, I have dirs like boot, casper [01:58] sudo apt-get update [01:58] Blackshear, Ah I Guess green at least here, but you get it. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal is a apt update [01:58] sudo apt-get upgrade [01:58] nope everything is gray lol Beldar [01:58] i am having a heck of a time with his video card [01:59] Blackshear, Ah, if you use a cli irc that is the case, the point is for ease of travel you want the other to know you are answering the. Sometimes the posts fly in here is all. [01:59] any help would be greatly appreciated [01:59] them* [01:59] Beldar, yea no problem, thanks for the tip. [02:00] Blackshear, what is the problem by the way that you expect to fix by updating? [02:00] hipitihop: yeah, then it doesn't work [02:00] civpro2, To the channel the exact details of what you have done and any relevant errors really help. [02:00] Is there any software for Linux that will let me map joystick buttons to keyboard keys? [02:00] no problem, i just want this thing installed correctly [02:00] varunendra, [02:01] hipitihop: The file(s) you're looking for are inside the squashfs image, not in the ISO file-system [02:01] hipitihop: do you have a dists folder on the drive? [02:01] knightshade, yes, just found that, that seems to give a hint :-) [02:01] went to amd and picked out my video card [02:01] downloaded the run file [02:01] extracted it, and ran it [02:01] i also tried flxgr-update [02:01] or something like that [02:01] Blackshear, 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). [02:02] hipitihop: there should be a file dists//Release [02:02] civpro2, Proprietary drivers are the last resort here and technically not supported is all. [02:02] and i got an error saying monitors not supported [02:02] varunendra, ok then thats all i needed to know, thanks. [02:02] beldar, if i get it reinstall i will [02:02] Welcome :) [02:02] whatever is the best way === Senix__ is now known as Senix [02:02] i would rather not though [02:02] knightshade, indeed, got it now, many thanks [02:02] if possible [02:02] which drivers are proprietary? [02:03] the amd r9 290x? [02:03] hipitihop: you're welcome [02:03] beldar, how can i get this running without proprietary drivers please [02:03] civpro2, 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. [02:04] TJ-, thanks, no sign of squashfs but have found the version in /dists see discuss with knightshade [02:04] civpro2, If I knew I would have suggested drivers. ;) [02:04] Beldar, ok, what are the next steps [02:05] civpro2, 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] do you guys reccommend getting clam-av, or is ubuntu fine without it [02:05] civpro2, 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] i say no need Blackshear [02:06] i will probably be accessing some sketchy websites, that may try to install spyware and malware [02:06] * hipitihop reboots to 12.04 livecd to see if headset issue resolved as in 13.10 livecd [02:06] Blackshear, 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] Blackshear, haviing it may not kill you [02:06] varunendra, 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 file [02:06] Blackshear, Not much of a danger in linux, but always use caution. [02:06] i tried this but it did not work either, i believe it might be with the tv i am using. i am using hdmi [02:07] civpro2, 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] i am hearing alot of i shouldnt do this or that but not 1 suggestion yet on what i should do [02:08] ok i will hang on, thanks [02:08] Blackshear, Never run in root and strong passwords are a good start. [02:08] you know the name of your graphic cards civpro2 [02:08] unamed, yes r9 290x also known as hawaii [02:09] unamed, also i have 2 video cards of the same type, i didnt want to leave that out [02:10] civpro2, 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] civpro2, 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] ..and always use pastebin for posting multiline outputs :) civpro2 [02:12] Beldar, i understand, i did not take any offense to what you said [02:12] ;) [02:12] varunendra, that command is not working [02:12] please show us the exact command you used civpro2 [02:13] lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga [02:13] varunendra, in response i get no such file or directory.... i did have to do alt-shit-f1 in order to get to command prompt [02:14] i send your a link civpro2 [02:14] thanks [02:15] civpro2, 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 ? [02:18] unamed - varunendra, when i type in fglrxinfo i get unable to open display (null) === SneakyBeaver-AFK is now known as SneakyBeaver [02:19] hello, I am using ubuntu 13.10, and want to disable a notification.

[02:52] but [02:52] dougl: sudo grub-install /dev/sda, yes; IF that primary install is on the sda drive. ... sounds like you are working from the liveDVD environment, yes ? [02:52] All I need to do is figure out how I can back up my files [02:52] if possible [02:52] MyComputerIsGone, is /home on a seperate partition ? [02:52] MyComputerIsGone: you could go back through /var/log/apt/history.log and reinstall the packages removed in error, but it might be a tedious and fruitless attempt [02:53] DF3D2, I don't believe so [02:53] MyComputerIsGone, well do you have some srt of usb flash drive? === qwerty1 is now known as Guest5041 [02:54] Bashing-om, no I am in 13.10 on sda2 my first install is 13.04 on sdb1 that will not boot and I can loginto but dont know root pw [02:54] Yes, I do.

[02:56] dougl, So 13.04 has the grub control running a grub-update in 13.10 will not do any good, what os the actual issue I logged in after you stated it?

[02:58] Daekdroom: Sorry wrong nick. [02:58] Beldar: i understand that, but telling someone to go to the debian channel when the question is related to ubuntu automation every bit as much as debian, sending me to debian seems like a pretty lazy response, unless there simply isnt the familiarity with the automation aspect of the ubuntu installer in here [02:58] I think it's 2 GB [02:58] but I believe it can hold the things I need it to... [02:58] MyComputerIsGone, find the info that pretains to that device, like 2000gb drive /dev/sdb or some such [02:58] Daemoen, using preseed is an option you may be interested in. [02:59] nice === jono is now known as Guest91841 [02:59] KI7MT: been working on that, the partitioning aspect of preseed seems.... convoluted and sloppy at best [02:59] was hoping that there *might* be something better for it somewhere [02:59] MyComputerIsGone, such as this: [02:59] dougl: OK.. no sweat, what do you want for your primary operating system ? only one has control of what i [02:59] hi i have 3 machines x,y,z on the same lan 192.168.0.1/24. x is also connected to wlan1 192.168.111.1/24 with router r1 and public ip1. y,z are also connected to wlan2 192.168.222.1/24 with router r2 and public ip2. x,y are ubuntu machines with default installs and empty iptables (i didnt touch any network related stuff). z is a windows machine also running internet connection sharing (z [02:59] err wtf?

[03:07] Psil0Cybin: so you tried this too? http://www.mattkowalczyk.com/blog/?p=169 [03:07] somsip: [03:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1369628 [03:07] ok :( [03:07] total? it seems to be 5067 [03:08] well, they didn't give any units [03:08] MyComputerIsGone, okay so it is too large to just rsync the entire directory you will need to copy the stuff you want manually [03:08] Psil0Cybin: I don't need links. You have the problem [03:08] but that's what I'm assuming [03:08] MyComputerIsGone, -m specified megabytes :-) [03:08] where do you enter [03:08] that stuf somsip [03:08] possum_, nice alphabet... beyond me good luck [03:08] it says hit no and enter [03:08] but i hit no and it takes me back to menu? [03:08] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:08] !enter | MyComputerIsGone [03:08] MyComputerIsGone: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:08] yeah right.... [03:08] Psil0Cybin: no it doesn't. Read the instructions [03:08] MyComputerIsGone, so you can do this cp -v "filename" /media/usb1 [03:08] thanks still dougl [03:09] MyComputerIsGone, so you can do this cp -vR "directory" /media/usb1 [03:09] ok DF3D2, I'll try and do this now [03:09] MyComputerIsGone, tab will autocomplete file names also [03:09] MyComputerIsGone, so if you had /home/username/long file name you can type ~/lo [03:10] hello [03:10] every time i play videos in ubuntu i get these horizontal lines [03:10] grahamsavage_: what video card, what video player? [03:11] grahamsavage_, is it any video, or the same video file ? [03:11] somp [03:11] somsip: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/usb [03:11] any video player (both vlc and youtube) [03:11] i get failed argument [03:11] at this step [03:11] step 2 [03:11] mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/usb [03:11] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:11] higher quality videos get more lines [03:11] video card is on-board intel something [03:11] Psil0Cybin, you need to specify a number such as /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb2 "/dev/sdb" is an entire device [03:11] Psil0Cybin: where is your USB mounted? is it /dev/sdb? [03:11] use sudo fdisk -l [03:12] Psil0Cybin, if you can compromise with a dirty workaround, install from the iso on a virtual-machine > clone the installation > restore on the physical disk. Sorry but if trying 'other' programs didn't help, and you've already verified the ISO integrity, this is all I can offer as a quick workaround [03:12] well ls /dev/sd* [03:12] gives me [03:12] /dev/sda [03:12] and [03:12] /dev/sdc [03:12] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:12] Psil0Cybin, and sudo fdisk -l returns ? [03:12] /dev/sdb and [03:13] bash [03:13] sudo not found [03:13] im trying to install the server from usb...siugh === BAMbanda is now known as myfriend [03:14] Psil0Cybin: and i've given you a page of instructions that you couldn't find yourself and that you can't follow the instructions correctly. Not sure how to help you now... [03:14] yea it wont help me with step two [03:14] step two just says ivalid argument if you follow commands [03:14] rls /dev/sd* [03:14] Psil0Cybin, maybe start your own thread at ubuntu forums. The one you linked to is light years old :P [03:14] light years [03:14] :-) [03:14] just says dev/sda sdb sdc [03:14] Psil0Cybin: replace /dev/sdb with the correct /dev/sd* that relates to your USB drive. [03:15] so just keep trying [03:15] till one works [03:15] Psil0Cybin, can you do fdisk -l ? [03:15] becasue it gievs me three. [03:15] without sudo ? [03:15] fdisk saysb ash no fdisk [03:15] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:15] bin/sh fdisk not found [03:15] varunendra: if he's using 12.04 it will still apply (Psil0Cybin - is it 12.04?) [03:16] Psil0Cybin: try a more recent version, that has possibly more verbose instructions http://is.gd/AxBJ1I [03:17] hola folks. I have a quick question regarding the dist-upgrade flag for apt-get in 12.04 [03:18] MyComputerIsGone, working out for you? [03:18] DaemeonZane, asking gets the answer [03:18] I just set up a fresh 12.04 install, and then ran the usual apt-get update, then went for the apt-get dist-upgrade [03:18] It went thru the usual install without failure, but when I reboot, it still shows me on 12.04 [03:18] Any ideas on what I may have missed? [03:18] DaemeonZane, dis-upgrade is a in release upgrade [03:18] dist* [03:19] somsip: [03:19] i ran the commands [03:19] hit ALT + command [03:19] nothing happends [03:19] DaemeonZane: did you want to do-release-upgrade? [03:19] im still stuck on termianl before installing [03:19] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === chris__ is now known as chris429 [03:19] How do I import settings from a .img file back up on an old Ubuntu install to a new install on a different machine? [03:20] DF3D2, I'm in progress and things seem to be going fine, thanks. [03:20] MyComputerIsGone, sweet [03:20] ugh forget it [03:20] aaaah... I think I may have misunderstood what I was running [03:20] uybutnu doesnt work on usub [03:20] lmao [03:20] i ran all commands, it just borks eiother the alt+f4 does nothing [03:21] Guest5041, settings? through waht app did you set them? [03:21] or the commands do not work :I( [03:21] I thought the dist-upgrade was a complete distro overhaul, especially since a lot of the packages mentioned raring instead of precise [03:21] Psil0Cybin: 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 you [03:21] DaemeonZane, If you saw raring check the sources.list [03:22] only presentation software for presenting powerpoint presentation ? [03:22] Beldar: what exactly would I be looking for, except Raring references? [03:23] !info loimpress | fire [03:23] fire: Package loimpress does not exist in saucy [03:23] !find loimpress | fire [03:23] fire: File loimpress found in libreoffice-impress [03:24] fire: less helpful than I hoped. But use Libre Office Impress [03:24] DaemeonZane, 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] hi i have 3 machines x,y,z on the same lan 192.168.0.1/24 via a switch. x is also connected to wlan1 192.168.111.1/24 with router r1 and public ip1. y,z are also connected to wlan2 192.168.222.1/24 with router r2 and public ip2. x,y are ubuntu machines with default installs and empty iptables (i didnt touch any network related stuff). z is a windows machine also running internet connection [03:24] sharing (z effectively being a nat between the lan and wlan2). routes are set so that x goes through r1 and y,z go through r2. i set port forwarding in r2 to forward 4444 to y while running 'nc -l 4444' on y. now im having trouble connecting from x to y running 'nc ip2 4444' on x, getting a timeout. i can smoothly connect from x to y targeting y's lan ip though, AND MOST BIZARRELY i can also [03:24] connect from x to z after setting port forwarding in r2 to forward 4444 to z and running 'nc -l 4444' on z and 'nc ip2 4444' on x. so it is not an isp filtering my stuff issue.. what is going on?? [03:24] possum_: Use. Pastebin. Please. [03:24] hello, I am trying to share files between two linux computers on the same network, I can ping, but i dont see them in filebrowser [03:25] ok somsip :> [03:25] somsip: but please also help me :( [03:25] chris429: explain how you set it up [03:25] possum_: you need an network expert. I am not one [03:25] ok [03:25] Beldar: 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 detail [03:26] DaemeonZane, Detail, in a apt-get upgrade? [03:26] somsip: both computers have the same version of linux, and the same username, password, everything, both have internet, and both can ping eachother [03:26] DaemeonZane, run sudo apt-get update and pastebin it. [03:26] Beldar: Let's put it this way, in the almost 250 packages that got installed, I saw Raring on about half of them [03:27] chris429: and what are you using to connect to each other? NFS, Samba, SSH? [03:27] DF3D2, I believe i'm ready for the next part, if you are [03:27] Nemo [03:27] MyComputerIsGone, you got everything copied over? [03:28] Beldar: Also, it just ran with 0 installed, removed, or upgraded when I ran it a second ago [03:28] somsip: samba [03:28] MyComputerIsGone, make double sure [03:28] I'm good, I think. [03:29] MyComputerIsGone, 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] possum_, you may try the networking channel ##networking [03:29] chris429: 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] which presenation software to use to present powerpoint presenation ? [03:29] fire: Libre Office Impress [03:29] varunendra: i already tried there :( [03:29] they dont know either [03:29] we suspect it is an ubuntu issue [03:30] unfortunately, I don't have a disk of any sort. [03:30] somsip: okay, i think i got it now, thank you somsip for pointing me on the right track, i made a silly mistake [03:30] chris429: np [03:30] MyComputerIsGone, okay so do you have another machine in the house ? [03:30] yes, a couple. [03:30] okay go copy the files off that usb stick to one of those [03:30] and come back when you are ready [03:31] possum_, like I mentioned earlier, maybe try ubuntuforums. We do have some good users there who may have first hand experience of this kind of setup [03:31] ok [03:33] Uh, 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] DaemeonZane, If you run the update as I suggested ands pastebin it I can see if there is any anomaly [03:33] Beldar: Like I said, I just did, it didn't return anything except that there wasn't anything to return [03:34] MyComputerIsGone, yeah because I don't think I told you to mount it... :-( fail my bad [03:34] oh, don't worry about it [03:34] so uh [03:34] MyComputerIsGone, okay so do this, cp /media/usb1 ~/ [03:35] confirm the files are in ~/usb1 with "ls -al ~/usb1" [03:35] Beldar: 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. [03:36] 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 conclusive [03:36] Ok, done. [03:36] After I upgrade to trusty I'll just run the usual clean out of broken and old dependencies, see what's up [03:36] MyComputerIsGone, confirmed files are in ~/usb1 ? [03:37] DaemeonZane, 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] DF3D2, that's correct, they are [03:37] DaemeonZane: I'm just wondering why you didn't install the daily build for trusty insteasd of going down the path you have [03:38] MyComputerIsGone, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1 && cp -vR ~/usb1 /media/usb1 [03:38] MyComputerIsGone, that should copy them sorry I forgot to have you actually mount it before ~_~ [03:38] Somsip: 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. [03:39] Beldar: I ran the commands you suggested, Sir, and I told you, I returned that there were simply no updates available at that point [03:39] DaemeonZane: 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 now [03:39] I can't exactly force downgrade and re-run to show you what I mean [03:39] DaemeonZane, I was not looking for updates I wanted to see the repos called. [03:40] DaemeonZane, "do-release-upgrade" is the command for what you wanted. Not that I'm recommending it though ;) [03:41] lol varunendra I just ran it, though I told it NOT to do the upgrade [03:41] And it appears, Beldar, that when running said command, I return nothing but precise sources [03:42] DaemeonZane, Cool, thats all I was trying to confirm. [03:42] Why, by the way, would do-release-upgrade to trusty not be supported or recommended? [03:42] Just curious [03:42] 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 ? [03:43] Just that it's pretty new, or what? [03:43] DaemeonZane, Trusty is in development, not released yet [03:43] DF3D2, I'm getting a mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/usb1 busy [03:43] DaemeonZane: some people have no problems with upgrading. Others have problems. It's probably cleaner to reinstall. It's not unsupported, just personal preference [03:43] MyComputerIsGone, what does the command "mount" show ? [03:43] MyComputerIsGone, make sure you aren't in /media/usb1 when you ran that command either [03:44] MyComputerIsGone, cd ~/ and re run it [03:44] Ah... 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 lol [03:45] there 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/usb1 [03:45] hipitihop_, 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] dilemma* [03:46] also the very first time I ran it, it said cp: cannot create director '/media/usb1/usb1': Permisson denied [03:46] MyComputerIsGone, ls -al /media/usb1 [03:46] you sure the files aren't on it ? [03:46] hipitihop_, I would make a threa at the ubuntu forums as well probably. [03:46] yes, interestingly enough there is nothing there [03:46] MyComputerIsGone, this is odd [03:46] I'll probably just hose the 12.04 and do a fresh install of the 13 LTS [03:47] MyComputerIsGone, try "sudo cp -Rv ~/usb1 /media/usb1 [03:47] and then do ls -al /media/usb1 [03:47] It seems to be mounted correctly [03:48] 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 elsewhere [03:48] DaemeonZane: neither ubuntu 13.04 or 13.10 are LTS [03:48] and again with the "." and ".." but nothing else, unfortunately [03:48] oh wait [03:48] ???? [03:49] No lie... hmmm [03:49] MyComputerIsGone, try just ls -l [03:49] Sorry, this time there is a usb1 folder in there as well, is that what we were going for [03:49] hipitihop_, 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 option [03:49] MyComputerIsGone, some odd reason doing ls -al doesn't seem to work the way it should on my system either [03:50] it makes it not show everything when it should [03:50] Yes, now I see all the files DF3D2 [03:50] MyComputerIsGone, sorry about that but I swear it is a bug [03:50] It's been a long time since I've messed with Ubuntu at all. I've been on Mint because of work [03:50] Beldar, yup, done that too and filed as bug [03:50] isnt ls -al supposed to show everything? [03:50] very odd [03:51] That'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] MyComputerIsGone, okay well now you can unmount the drive then "sudo umount /media/usb1" or sudo umount /dev/sdb1" [03:51] hipitihop_, Cool, hope you get it resolved, seems possible if the phones work on the live environments. [03:51] MyComputerIsGone, yea unmount it and then go copy the files [03:52] hipitihop_ you can bump threads every 24 hors at the forums, so be sure to do that to get it on the list. [03:53] Ok, the files seem to all be there on the other machine! [03:53] 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 experiment [03:53] How can I create a PDF out of images? or add Images as pages to one existing PDF? [03:53] MyComputerIsGone, cool so we need to make a bootable iso again, plug that drive back in to this machine [03:54] MyComputerIsGone, dont mount it though it isn't necessary [03:55] DF3D2, I'm ready. [03:56] MyComputerIsGone, okay sudo apt-get install wget [03:56] xangua, Maybe libreoffice to a pdf, probably not the most elegant way. [03:56] oh no [03:57] DF3D2, not sure if I mentioned this to you at the beginning, but there was this whole thing with the unmet dependencies and such with libreoffice that prevents me from downloading anything even after an -f thingy === timo is now known as Guest79661 [03:58] MyComputerIsGone, do you have wget installed already? [03:58] can anyone help me out in blocking traceroute utility using iptables? [03:58] MyComputerIsGone, type wget [03:58] Hello [03:59] DF3D2, wget: missing URL + type wget --help seems to suggest that I have it. [03:59] MyComputerIsGone, good! [03:59] MyComputerIsGone, is this a 64bit machine ? [03:59] Yes it is. [03:59] perfect [03:59] MyComputerIsGone, desktop? [04:00] laptop, System 76 [04:00] Idk what system 76 means [04:00] do you want Ubuntu Xubuntu Or Lubuntu ? [04:00] oh uh sorry that's the brand name. Ubuntu please. [04:00] Hello guys, I'm trying to find my network adapter drivers on ubuntu, can someone help me find them ? [04:00] MyComputerIsGone, cd ~/ && wget http://mirror.lstn.net/ubuntu-releases/saucy/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso [04:01] SneakyTheBeaver: for what adapter? [04:01] I don't know =\ [04:01] it seems I don't have rights from livecd to drill down into home folders on my installed drive, what is the correct way from livecd [04:01] g'night ladies and gents thanks again for the help :) [04:01] I have windows on my hdd and ubuntu on my ssd and windows can't find the drivers so I thought I'd take the drivers I have on ubuntu which allow me to connect to the internet and put them on windows [04:02] SneakyTheBeaver: poste the output of 'sudo lshw -c network' to paste.ubuntu.com [04:02] Hm, DF3D2, it seems to be going at a pace that will end in 5 hours. is this the last step in the process? [04:02] PCI (sysfs) [04:02] MyComputerIsGone, is your internet slow or is that mirror slow ? [04:02] !pastebin | SneakyTheBeaver [04:02] SneakyTheBeaver: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:03] Hm, well my computer is rather new so I don't see how it could be the computer. [04:03] pastebin.com/djqemQbd [04:03] MyComputerIsGone, I mean your internet bandwidth [04:03] is it a fast connection or not? [04:04] SneakyTheBeaver: I have that and it works out of the box for me. What is the problem? [04:04] I am trying to get it to work on windows [04:04] MyComputerIsGone, if you think the problem is that mirror you can hit ctrl+c to cancel it and try with this... wget http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/13.10/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso [04:04] SneakyTheBeaver: go to ##windows then. Bye [04:04] and it says no drivers fond [04:04] hipitihop_, Have you looked at lsusb with the phines plugged to see hardware info for your searches? [04:04] phones* [04:04] somsip don't be like that, I said I am trying to find the ubuntu drivers [04:04] According to family sources the internet is "fine"... [04:05] because windows doesn't have them [04:05] Can you help me find the drivers so I can put them on the windows harddrive? [04:05] Beldar, yes, its the same as my installed [04:05] MyComputerIsGone, 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 speed [04:05] hipitihop_, Cool, at tomes it takes a closer look is all. [04:05] times* [04:06] anyone know where drivers for network adapters are stored on ubuntu 13.1? [04:06] MyComputerIsGone, anyway write this down ... when you get the iso file, you want to do "sudo dd if=/home/username/filename.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M" [04:06] I'd say 33 minutes is a pretty good improvement, DF3D2 =) [04:07] Does anyone know of a new laptop on which it is easily possible to dual boot ubuntu and windows 8.1? [04:07] MyComputerIsGone, make sure with sudo fdisk -l ur drive is still /dev/sdb [04:07] MyComputerIsGone, DO NOT mix up the "if" and "of" sections [04:07] total failure if so. [04:07] anyone? [04:08] noone [04:08] can anyone help me out in blocking traceroute utility using iptables? [04:08] Ira_L, Not really a channel issue and really a poll which is not allowed. [04:08] nobody knows where network adapter drivers are stored? [04:08] SneakyTheBeaver, in the krnel [04:08] SneakyTheBeaver, they are kernel modules [04:08] Hm, I see. [04:08] !modules | SneakyTheBeaver [04:08] SneakyTheBeaver: 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 "-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubottu blacklist [04:08] SneakyTheBeaver: cross platforms does not work ! Drivers used in 'buntu will not be installable/usable in Windows. [04:08] oh :( [04:08] MyComputerIsGone, after that you can simply reboot the computer and in the bios select the USB drive as the first boot option [04:09] and install ubuntu [04:09] I have a question about installing ubuntu, can anyone help me? [04:09] !ask | aaaaa [04:09] aaaaa: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:09] Thank you very much, DF3D2.

I partitioned the hard drive so that there was only one partition: that of the original operating system, and then some free space.

I did all the possible ways. Hope you will help me in this.. [04:21] hipitihop_, 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] xentity1x: 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/PTp9ly [04:22] dmesg is not something I ever really use have npt really needed it myself, hipitihop_ I learn what I need basically. === coyott is now known as eu [04:22] not* === eu is now known as Guest4742 [04:25] I have ubuntu 14.o4 [04:25] !14.04 | Cheryl_c_ [04:25] Cheryl_c_: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu.

I have to reboot to get out of it. Any suggestions would be helpful [04:26] i tried to get nvidia proprietary drivers running on my system, now i just get a black screen [04:27] if i move the mouse around, I see a cursor that looks like gnome hasn't loaded [04:27] if i ctrl-alt-f1 or another, i just see no output to the monitor or just a cursor [04:28] i can't log in at all. actually i am able to log in over SSH but i'm troubleshooting and failing [04:28] Cheryl_c_: as the bot said, support for 14.04 is in #ubuntu+1 [04:28] Sorry that was Ubunto 13.10 [04:28] every time i sudo service lightdm restart, i just get the same weird X cursor [04:28] ses1984: how did you install the new drivers? [04:29] sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [04:29] then lightdm restart [04:29] ses1984: looks normal. Did that process complete okay? No errors? All kernel modules built and everything? [04:29] i have tried to sudo X -configure, and move the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 [04:30] i think the command completed successfully [04:30] i have actually tried to remove and purge that [04:30] Cheryl_c_, run in the terminal software-center and look for errors [04:30] session problem [04:30] ses1984: so you have now purged them, or are they installed? [04:30] ses1984: what do you use, unity? [04:30] i tried to sudo X -configure and copy that config file in, according to Xorg.0.log it was pulling that in [04:30] is there a way to stream one line of text into a file using sed?

[04:33] ses1984: yes [04:33] probably [04:33] the 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 tty [04:33] let me paste it [04:34] ses1984: so are we assuming that the drivers are installed and you didn't purge them? [04:34] ses1984: i just said, its because your session isnt loading. probably nothing to do with xserver itself. just a session script [04:35] Cheryl_c_, Basically this is just an attempt to open the software center to see if any errors show that may indicate the problem. [04:36] 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 failing [04:37] hipitihop_, Heh, true, I'm just an armchair user in the end, my studies are in many other areas is all.

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] Sorry 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] Psil0Cybin: what version are you using? [04:42] 12.04 LTS. [04:42] Psil0Cybin: so the guide is appropriate. [04:42] Cheryl_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 install [04:42] Psil0Cybin: did you get the second link with more verbose instructions on it? [04:43] I 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] Cheryl_c_, I forgot to ask if you have run any updates as well. [04:43] I did not get a chance to get to the second link which someone suggested was newer. [04:43] could someone perhaps please relink it? [04:44] Most of the googling I did sugggested to try other burning methods... [04:44] Psil0Cybin: [03:16] Psil0Cybin: try a more recent version, that has possibly more verbose instructions http://is.gd/AxBJ1I [04:44] ty looking at it now [04:44] Psil0Cybin: k. Glad you've calmed down a bit now... [04:44] the guide is for windows. [04:44] I am using Ubuntu 12.04 to burn the Iso :) [04:45] yea, sorry I was really freaking out at work, never had these issues...sigh [04:45] Psil0Cybin: scroll down... Maybe I spoke too soon about you calming down :/ [04:45] but yes I am much more calm now.. ahah! [04:45] lol [04:45] Output = Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: sbsigntool Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Yes I have done updates to all my software [04:45] somsip [04:45] i am printing that guide now, to bring to work for tomorrow. [04:46] I will give it a try, anything else I can print as well? [04:46] if incase this does not work? [04:46] or this "should" be the solution. [04:46] Psil0Cybin: 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] ooohhh [04:46] okay [04:46] but why must I fool the installer? is there no installer for just a plain usb install? [04:46] or was it the way it was burned? [04:47] I am just confused why this happened :P [04:47] just as a FYI type thing, so I know [04:47] and learn [04:47] Psil0Cybin: 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, great [04:47] yea thanks [04:47] very helpful somsip :) [04:48] Psil0Cybin: np === Andrew_K is now known as TheAndrewK [04:48] next I have to learn if my system is a hardware raid or software raid [04:48] sigh [04:48] I have alot to do :( tomorrow. [04:48] you should know if its hardware raid [04:48] I think it was a hard ware raid, becasue they put it together [04:48] with the drives, in the store [04:48] and said I just need to configure ubuntu :S for it [04:48] who are "they" [04:48] Tiger Direct [04:48] in Canada. [04:48] I'm having a lot of trouble booting into my machine - many times, it just shows a black screen with a blinking cursor. Wasn't having issues this morning, but moved hardware into a new case and now getting this :( [04:49] TheAndrewK: sounds like perhaps a driver issue?? [04:49] Cheryl_c_, Hmm two not upgraded, have you been using the update manager gui and have you seen any partial upgrade warnings? [04:49] !nomodeset | TheAndrewK try this [04:49] TheAndrewK try this: 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 [04:49] I get the black screen alot TheAndrewK. [04:49] nomodeset is good to try [04:49] how long after you issue dput will it take to see packages in your PPA? [04:49] @ubottu, @Ben64: I'll try that. [04:49] Ben64: so if they set up the raid while they built the computer [04:49] @Psil0Cybin: it was working this morning, so I doubt drivers [04:49] I am assuming its a hardware raid :P [04:49] so any ideas... [04:50] sdn3rd: PPAs are not suported here. You need to ask the package maintainer [04:50] I made the package [04:50] I am uploading it to my PPA [04:50] sdn3rd: then *your* PPA packages are not suported here. Try Launchpad support page [04:51] I did, doesnt tell me how long it takes to see it :P [04:51] anyhow thanks for not being helpful ;) [04:51] such rules very harsh [04:51] sdn3rd: #launchpad might help :) [04:51] any one knows for the VLC update here?? [04:51] After I use the upgrade manager and reboot I see several failure warnings upon reboot before the gui kicks in [04:52] rww: thanks much :) [04:52] Beldar: After I use the upgrade manager and reboot I see several failure warnings upon reboot before the gui kicks in [04:53] I just got a server, for work...I asked them to raid the system and they said they did it while they built the computer does that mean its a hardware raid or a software raid? how can I find out? [04:53] woops >.< [04:53] didnt mean to repost it [04:55] trying the 'nomodeset' parameter and it still falls to a black screen w/ blinking icon :( [04:56] Cheryl_c_, So I'm trying to put together the reboot associated with the update manager, generally you would only with a few installs there, kernel upgrades/updates is one. The errors you see may or may not be related to the software center, best to save them if possible and pastebin them for posting. === pulchy is now known as SpaceCat [04:57] one issue I found is if I try to scroll over while editing the GRUB options (hitting left/right arrow keys), after a bit, my system will freeze. [04:57] any idea why that is? [04:57] Cheryl_c_, I think you will need more experienced help than mine here as well. [04:58] system temp (as reported in bios) seems pretty high... [04:58] but all case fans and processor fans are spinning fine [04:59] TheAndrewK, Just so you know we don't use @ you would use the nick and a comma or : or just tab complete nicks. [04:59] Beldar:ah yeah, sorry :) [04:59] hehe no biggie [04:59] Beldar: Thanks for your help so far. I am still working on it. Anyone else out there knows how to get Ubuntu to not hang at the software center? [04:59] this worked better echo "this is a text to append" >> filename [05:00] Ben64:nomodeset seems to have no effect sadly. [05:02] my internet keeps disconnecting, i am using ubuntu 12.04 and im on a wireless connection [05:02] what could be the problem [05:02] Ben64: seems I get a freeze when I am editing GRUB entries and using the arrow keys [05:04] doe anyone know of an ubuntu variant that is geared towards development? [05:04] Does* [05:04] my internet keeps disconnecting im on a wireless connection, and on ubuntu 12.04lts, what could be the problem? [05:05] jakis.. I had the same issue with one wireless adapter. It was the driver it was using [05:05] Had to install the latest driver, problem solved. [05:05] jKlaus, how do i do that? === SpeedRacer is now known as SonikkuAmerica [05:06] Google it.. figure out what chipset your device has then start googling most likely many others have already solved the problem for you.. and give you a step by step on how to fix it [05:06] i was able to select the recovery boot option in GRUB, but it halts/freezes on "msgmni has been set to 15964" [05:06] jKlaus, ok thank you buklau [05:06] I don't see anything error-like or suspicious [05:06] a blinking cursor is below [05:07] I can't hit CTRL+ALT+F1 or anything of that sort. [05:07] CTRL+ALT+DEL also does not trigger a reboot [05:07] np jakis.. figuring out the chipset will tell you what driver you need. From there you'll easily be able to figure out if thats the problem [05:07] rebooting... === MomoNasty is now known as Momo|Off [05:11] Any recommendations for WMs to check out besides Gnome, Unity, KDE, XFCE, and dwm? [05:12] what's the best rdp client? [05:12] smacktalk1, rdesktop [05:12] F^3: I've heard good things about 'awesome' and 'wmii' [05:13] (for the lazy http://awesome.naquadah.org/) [05:13] hi guys [05:14] still unsure why this isn't booting :( [05:14] F^3: it depends what you are looking for. What functionality do you want? [05:14] TheAndrewK, What's the problem? [05:15] F^3:have had multiple issues so far: booting normally kicks me to a black screen with a blinking cursor; recovery booting freezes after a bit [05:15] will attempt again [05:15] somsip, Clean, minimalistic, and just a WM and not a full DE. A background image/menu launcher would be a huge bonus. [05:15] I was thinking about looking into xmonade (sp?) or i3 [05:16] booting 3.11.0-14 [05:16] F^3: tiling or non-tiling? [05:16] freezes this time after handling cdrom and detecting usb device (my card reader) [05:16] froze in a different place last time. [05:16] i've tried booting live CDs with no success either. [05:16] somsip, If it can only tile text (terminal) based apps and float gui windows that would be a huge bonus. [05:16] TheAndrewK, Sounds like an xorg driver issue. What video card? [05:17] GeForce GTX 260 [05:17] it was working this morning before I migrated the hardware into a new case, though [05:17] Oh.. missed your last message. Did you already install it? [05:17] so I'm a bit stumped if there are driver issues [05:17] guys 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 opened [05:17] Hmm. What about unplugging the USB and cdrom device? [05:17] I think there is some issue with graphics card driver [05:17] F^3:worth a shot :) [05:18] packetscaper, It wouldn't stall so early on from what I understand. [05:18] pzl suggest something [05:18] TheAndrewK, if it was working on the other case it might be an issue with a shorting as well (unlikely) [05:18] F^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 need [05:18] yeah, this case is brand new so [05:18] I have installed it before [05:18] and have worked on it [05:19] somsip, Would it be possible to make it auto float though? I know I can manually float windows. [05:19] Hi, Does anybody know how can I have Apple's Mac fonts in Ubuntu? [05:19] F^3:attempting a boot now. [05:19] Or simply use nicer fonts? [05:20] F^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) === SneakyTheBeaver is now known as SneakyBeaver-AFK [05:20] somsip, Hmm. Would it be possible to add a rule to float everything and manually set x windows to tile? [05:21] why [05:21] ? [05:21] Atlantic777: why what [05:21] erm [05:22] Angel_Of_Sorrow: why what [05:22] im not sure [05:22] i got banned for no reason === Momo|Off is now known as MomoNasty [05:22] F^3: this time, recovery boot - froze again at sd 10:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk [05:22] F^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 though [05:22] Angel_Of_Sorrow: go talk to #ubuntu-ops, then [05:22] i tried loging in yesterday [05:22] and i was banned [05:22] ive been good though [05:22] good [05:22] Angel_Of_Sorrow: go talk to #ubuntu-ops, then [05:22] Angel_Of_Sorrow: if you continue asking about that here, you will be banned again [05:22] ah [05:22] apologies [05:22] somsip, 90% of the time I use my PC as a HTPC [05:23] TheAndrewK, Sounds like SDC is busted and the kernel can't register the device halting the boot. [05:23] hmm, ok [05:23] so only one screen is used. I kind of like the idea of having terminal apps as part of my background I suppose. [05:23] I'll see if I can boot a live CD I suppose. [05:23] F^3: all the above still applies. But this is not really ubuntu support so I'm going to stop the OT chat at that. Hope you find something useful for you [05:23] no [05:23] Angel_Of_Sorrow, no [05:24] Thanks. I'll look into them in the morning. [05:24] F^3: np [05:25] attempting a live CD... [05:25] :( gah [05:26] thrown to a black screen with blinking white cursor for the live CD, even. [05:26] is there any way to figure out why the live CD is also throwing me to a black sceen/blinking cursor? [05:28] are .desktop files unity specific [05:29] what improvements has ubuntu made since 2007 (When i last used it)? You see I've been a windows again man until recently??

[07:59] ahren: doesn't it show you a choice on the login screen? Id the login screen enabled [07:59] ? [07:59] no [07:59] ahren: enable it, logout, try again [08:00] i checked ubuntu and xubuntu packages and it won't give me a login screen only the login screen for xubuntu [08:00] how do i do that [08:00] Raven, 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 btw [08:00] ahren: 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. [08:01] ezra-s should I post in #linux? [08:01] Raven, I told you the answer [08:02] Raven, 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 solved [08:02] linux/ubuntu won't have problems detecting your usb devices plugged into it [08:03] another matter are the drivers, but I bet most cams are handled well [08:03] * hipitihop waves @ glitsj16 notes the hiding from hipitihop in fear, after yesterday's marathon [08:03] ezra-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 skype [08:04] Raven, if Skype can't use two cams that is, I don't know skype sorry [08:04] ezra-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] Raven, I'm guessing skype can't use two devices, in either case the problem won't be the OS, but the client [08:04] 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? [08:05] dw-: gedit requires X doesn't it? Use a text-only editor. Fix your permissions first. Maybe you mean SSH and not FTP...? [08:05] Raven, maybe there are alternatives to Skype which can do what you want, do some research, aka "internet search" [08:06] 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/tabs [08:07] somsip, it has been a while since i used ubuntu what would i have to search for in google [08:07] dw-: ah - fair enough.

I don't use it [08:07] ezra-s I understand and agree, and believe me I'm certain there are clients that can do it, there are far more capable alternatives to skype but ultimately I find most don't work as well, and none are as user friendly for the other party [08:07] does anyone else have an issue where any kernel after .12 has no usb mouse/kb functionality?

[08:30] what do most people use here xubuntu or regular ubuntu with unity or kde [08:30] ahren: regular ubuntu [08:30] this is #ubuntu not #xubuntu or #kubuntu, so... probably Debian [08:30] glitsj16, sigh yes, most of the day again, I feel I have so much time invested in the issue I hate to let it go at this point without understanding why [08:31] my system is a little older should i still run the newest ubuntu?

[08:31] also i only have 2gb ram so i can still use the 32bit version right [08:31] ahren: yes, and yes [08:31] hipitihop: understandable, but not much progress i take it? [08:31] ahren: I think you need 32 gb of ram [08:31] ahren: if your cpu supports 64bit you should use the amd64 version [08:31] hence it being 32 bit [08:31] DUHHH [08:32] ....jk [08:32] glitsj16, no solution yet, but more interesting information, I did image my machine overnight to prepare to upgrade to 13.10... === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [08:33] glitsj16, then somene here, I think Bender, suggested, running the 13.10 live cd is not 100% proof that upgrade would solve the problem... [08:34] hello, anyone can tell current mir/u8 state for 14.04 ? installation the same as for 13.10 ? [08:34] lucious77: #ubuntu+1 [08:34] glitsj16, the suggestion was, try the same with 12.04.3 live , so after fluffing about, more downloads etc, I did, and suprise, it also works on 12.04.3 [08:35] glitsj16, so interesting info, but that leaves the $64k question, why [08:35] hipitihop: so that points to a configuration issue then it seems hmm [08:36] hipitihop: is the hid-generic (iirc) module getting properly loaded ? [08:36] glitsj16, indeed, so I just booted back again to the 12.04.3 live, and took some more detailed traces into pastebin so we can compare to installed 12.04.3 [08:36] I'm having problems similar to http://askubuntu.com/questions/316778/ubuntu-13-04-cant-login-to-unity-keep-going-back-to-login-screen-with-all-us [08:36] hipitihop: detective at work heh, good idea [08:37] the solutions there don't work for me. This is happening soon after upgrading to 13.04 [08:38] I initially had only gnome panel showing but after enabling unity with ccsm unity started appearing alongside gnome-panel [08:39] glitsj16, give me a sec as I did a question and bug entry yesterday so I will update with latest pastbin links and then will point you === jus__ is now known as jus [08:39] hipitihop: sure, slept like a log so i think i've a fresher look than yesterday halfway thru the marathon [08:40] ;) [08:40] I later did a dconf reset -f /org/compiz that's when my problem started [08:41] glitsj16, sounds good, although I'm on a promise to step away from the keyboard a bit today so won't getaway with much tinkering. You might have to just post comment on bug/answers [08:42] hipitihop: no problem, that windows machine needs some attention here too so forum posts suits me fine [08:43] glitsj16, simple suggestion for that windows machine, install ubuntu :-) [08:44] hipitihop: haha, i did make it dual-boot .. promises/compromises .. she games on it quite [08:45] hipitihop: she likes and feels at home in ubuntu, but for games it became a real mess [08:45] glitsj16, roll on steamOS [08:46] hipitihop: that's on the to-do list yes, also one of these hybrid GPU machines, so i've been putting it off to be honest === MindSpark_ is now known as MindSpark [08:46] hello [08:51] so i have the sidebar on auto hide, is it possible to make reval more sensitive?

[09:04] Kiaas: sorry, I thought you where asking which version of ubuntu does it ship with [09:05] is it at least 13.9? [09:05] Kiaas: no idea, query the package info and see if it tells you (I doubt it) [09:09] alright, who wants to help me write some bash? :P [09:09] snufft: what do you want to write? [09:09] snufft: Thats probably a good question to ask in ##bash [09:10] snufft: so. You return... [09:10] :O !! there's a ##bash?! [09:10] somsip, yes :( [09:10] snufft: Pretty sure, may only be #bash, but I'm pretty sure its a double # channel [09:10] nerdtron, i need to scan a website for occurrance of html after [09:10] snufft: It's not what you think. It's an abused woman's support chat [09:11] Bender, that's dark :P [09:11] :) [09:11] I like it :P [09:12] snufft: have you sorted your grep pattern out yet? [09:14] somsip, i switched to awk. Then it's just awk -F "" '{print $2}' [09:14] snufft: so what do you need to write? [09:14] snufft: and will awk work if there is a newline between and the dodgy code? === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [09:15] somsip, it should. i can curl -s http://www.google.com | awk -F "" '{print $2}' | awk -F "<" '{print $2}' [09:16] that way it'll just look for the next < [09:16] snufft: I don't know awk well so will leave that to you. What do you need to write then? [09:19] somsip, i don't need to write anything. i need to send myself an email if there's output [09:19] i thought i could bash sendmail? [09:19] snufft: you can. man sendmail to find out how. If it's installed. If not, sendEmail is a simple wrapper for SMTP based email [09:20] sendmail is not the default mta on ubuntu [09:20] snufft: ikonia I do tend to use sendEmail for simple stuff like this [09:20] snufft, somsip: apt-get install postfix mailutils && mail -s subject recipient@domain <<< "mail body" [09:22] hi, what is a good, safe, reliable and hard drive friendly (pictures) LAMP web provider? === gordonjc1 is now known as gordonjcp [09:24] JohnnyL: I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask that :S [09:24] maedox: I used to sending from Amazon instances which are usually blocked from direct sending, but thanks for the postfix suggestion. Looks easier than sendmail... [09:26] somsip: there's no blocking on Amazon instances other than what you block yourself. You might however get into trouble with the recipients SMTP because of SPF records and whatnot. It usually works fine though. [09:28] maedox, i'll give it a shot, thanks! [09:28] somsip, is sendEmail available from bash?

OT anyway [09:33] hi [09:33] somsip: ah, yes, that might be a problem of course. I use the eu-west AZ's and haven't had any trouble, but I changed to using a Google Apps account for sending emails a while back. [09:35] I have recently been back to ubuntu after a long time, I did a fresh install but I am getting a lot cpu utilisation and high temperatures even when I am only opening firefox [09:35] hai guise [09:35] utkarsh_: look at what's eating the cpu [09:36] beza: "guys" [09:36] utkarsh_: facebook open? === knightshade3 is now known as knightshade [09:36] ohk i ran htop [09:36] I am see wvdial --chat [09:36] taking up all the cpu [09:36] utilisaiton [09:36] utkarsh_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:37] annoying floodbot is annoying :( [09:37] ohk [09:38] so, what is that process? (google might help) i'm not familiar with it [09:38] legacy modem [09:38] ew [09:38] are you on a dialup connection? [09:39] utkarsh_: do you have a modem? are you using it? [09:40] ya I tried using wvdial [09:40] does boot repair actually work? [09:40] well, my first instinct is to say "kill it" but that will probably disconnect you :) [09:40] does anyone know how to setup ipv6 properly on ubuntu? I'm completely stuck :( [09:40] Does boot repair actually work? [09:41] Asitha: define properly, the network-manager interface does it just fine normally [09:41] 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 low [09:41] Asitha, it's simple, ubuntu has network-manager, select your network interface, go to it's configuration, there should be a ipv6 tab [09:42] I had recently moved from bluehost to my own vps and noticed a huge delay when I started using facebook authentication [09:42] After various steps, when I disabled ipv6, the delay was gone and things were running fine again [09:42] Which leads me to believe there is some misconfiguration there that is causing the issue [09:42] Asitha: your reasoning is false [09:43] I've also tried to use ping6 and it can't seem to connect to any host [09:44] you've just disabled ipv6 - how do you expect it to work [09:44] I reenabled it and was testing it again [09:44] Asitha: do you have valid IPV6 networking information ? [09:45] Asitha: eg: a valid IPV6 IP for the network you ar eon [09:45] are on [09:45] yeah [09:45] I have 3 ipv6 addresses [09:46] Asitha: I'm assuming you also have IPv4 addresses running on the same machine [09:46] yes [09:46] Asitha: ok, so I'd be looking at your ipv6 gateway as a starting point [09:47] What should I be looking for there? [09:48] Asitha: a valid and reachable gateway [09:48] Asitha: 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] Asitha, is your network interface configured to dhcp for ipv6? [09:49] static I believe === j_f-f_ is now known as j_f-f [09:49] Asitha, and how and why did you choose to configure 3 different ipv6 addresses? where did you get those? [09:49] I didn't choose it - I just noticed it was there when I got the server [09:49] My host was the one that provided it [09:50] if you don't need it why are you using it [09:50] Well for one thing - I want to be able to have it working instead of disabling it completely [09:50] if it's causing you a problem disable it and forget about it [09:51] Asitha: why do you want it working if you're using ipv4 [09:51] Better to learn now, than to wait for it become popular and me becoming outdated :P [09:51] Also, I felt guilty when I posted on serverfault [09:51] and some guy was like "don't pretend the issue doesn't exist" [09:51] -_- [09:51] Asitha: then talk to your hosting provider and ask for details on their network [09:51] So I decided to try and figure out the fix [09:51] Asitha: your trying to configure something with no understanding of the network [09:52] "I don't know it was there when I bought it" is not enough to know how to configure it properly [09:52] I'm with ikonia, to solve it you need to understand it a bit [09:53] I guess you both are right [09:54] Asitha: 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 wrong [09:55] Alright - I'll just open a ticket and see what they can figure out [09:55] or at least pass on to me [09:55] Hello, i have messed up my sources.list file. in this generator: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ should i avoid ticking the source packages and backports? [09:55] hi [09:56] Somebody seeding the ubuntu torrents and also seeing lots and lots of peers with the same ip (+subnet) leeching [09:56] hi all [09:57] They're sucking up all my bandwidth and doing some research shows they are not even completing their dl [09:57] any cute girl wana talk [09:57] Asitha, 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 conn [09:57] ected to internet [09:57] kismat_4u: that is not what this channel is for [09:57] !topic | kismat_4u [09:57] kismat_4u: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

[10:15] I'm trying to do apt-get update with the new sources.list file, it throws me lots of error with gpg keys. [10:17] merandus, install this package: ubuntu-keyring obviously ignore the key warnings on this one [10:17] kostkon: ok just a sec [10:19] kostkon: it says it's already installed and newest version. it says 66 not updated though [10:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6708309/ [10:19] thats what i get for apt-get update [10:22] merandus, you could try sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring --reinstall && sudo apt-get upgrade [10:23] merandus, now that you have a sources.list file you could try to select a different mirror in updater settings [10:24] Hi, I'm trying to find a build log for saucy:openocd, but it says it was cancelled: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/openocd/0.7.0-1 [10:24] How can that be [10:26] merandus: "Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'" wait a while until the us-mirror is available again or use a different mirror [10:26] windows + cygwin or ubuntu ??

[10:37] llutz: should i edit resolv.conf? [10:37] merandus: how is your network configured? router -> dhcp or static ips? [10:37] merandus, in default ubuntu resolv.conf is dynamically generated so if you use dhcp I recommend against it [10:37] llutz: it's a vps, hosted by EXSI [10:38] vmware EXSI it seems. the vps provider is using [10:38] merandus, if you use dhcp use /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf instead [10:38] merandus: add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head and run "sudo resolvconf -u" then [10:39] merandus: or edit your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and set "prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;" [10:39] merandus: use any dns-server ip you want, 8.8.8.8 is google but there are other [10:39] llutz: should i do both of those? or just one. [10:39] merandus: one [10:40] llutz: ok on it [10:40] /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head is dynamic if using dhcp [10:41] ezra-s: base is, head shouldn't. or am i wrong? [10:41] well, i don't know how vmware EXSI works, so, i assume i'll be doing the second one [10:41] llutz, # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN [10:41] ezra-s: thats the statement to appear in /etc/rsolv.conf later [10:41] llutz, lol, sorry [10:42] ezra-s: head is just copied to generate resolv.conf file [10:42] llutz, thanks, that clarifies it :) [10:44] hi i am trying to update from 13.04 -> 13.10 and in the updates menu there is no upgrade button, i have checked and the settings are ok for getting new upgrades and non-lts. [10:44] ok, editted dhcclient.conf. should i run any commands now? [10:45] merandus: sudo dhclient ethX [10:46] llutz, there should be one working already, shouldn't he kill that one first? or restart networking/network manager instead? === Beautiful^Girl is now known as Unforgiven [10:47] hi i am trying to update from 13.04 -> 13.10 and in the updates menu there is no upgrade button, i have checked and the settings are ok for getting new upgrades and non-lts.

I have a machine running Precise Pangolin, and when I issue "uname -r" it appears I'm using the 3.2.0-23 kernel. However, when I do "dpkg -l linux-*" it appears I have a newer kernel that I'm not running. Why is this happening? Shouldn't it be using the latest version available? === madmatt is now known as Guest52063 [10:53] queretaro, explanation is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [10:53] hitsujiTMO: which error? the sudo dhclient eth0 one?

[11:09] Gallomimia, that depends on kernel driver support afaik [11:09] Gallomimia: you need to disable the journal in os x on it before you can mount it as rw [11:09] ew. doesn't that mean a format? [11:10] Gallomimia: no, afaik, but its not someyhing i'd do [11:10] queretaro, what do we have for "apt-cache show linux-image-generic | grep Version" ? [11:10] well, in my /root i have some .tar.gz files that i have no idea what they are, could be something that vps provider support put them there, besides google is there a command to find out what they are?

Also, I got used to it when I used Slackware, and I also believe it's a good practice (with the right knowledge & responsability) [11:13] queretaro, well.. your machine, your choice. But I hope you know the risks. [11:14] !root | queretaro [11:14] queretaro: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:14] varunendra: same as using sudo for everything [11:14] queretaro, Not in ubuntu. === GREECE|Sinis is now known as Sinis_smooth [11:15] queretaro: if you really want to avoid sudo all the time, use a root prompt. sudo -i or similar tools [11:16] I usually sudo su, but yes. What I like about sudo is that it logs what it's been done [11:16] adding 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... [11:17] you could try sudo -i to get the root prompt, and start with script myfile.txt [11:17] then you really get a record of everything that's been done [11:17] i sudo bash [11:18] i'm assuming sudo script would give similar results [11:19] Kann mir vielleicht jemand helfen mit ubuntu 13.10 und den mit einem humax hd nano aufgenommenen daten [11:20] caring_ish_, What release are you on now? [11:20] !de | jules12345 [11:20] jules12345: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [11:20] thanks again for the HFS+ tip guys. now i can chown the whole volume, and copy files locally over USB3, instead of sending it over gbE and then USB2 [11:21] Gallomimia: any such change affects osx too [11:22] Gallomimia: the chowning that is [11:22] Any idea why Wine, Wine config even, stuck at 13.10? With all my other Ubuntu, I have no other (also 13.10), do not have this problem. [11:23] yeah. stupid uid mismatch :( [11:23] it's easier to format the drive and install unbuntu than worry about that crap. [11:23] i can chown it back later, but the gid should make it okay [11:23] i think the volume is still r/o [11:24] Beldar, I'm using 12.10 now [11:25] guess i have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to mounting this disk [11:27] Hi all - I've got an ubuntu server installation set up and i cannot for the life of me ssh in to the server with any new users I create [11:27] Gallomimia: so you've disabled the journal in osx right? [11:27] yeah that went off without a hitch [11:27] I keep getting permission denied (publickey) - when I do ssh -v user@host the only error I can see is "roaming not allowed by server" [11:27] Gallomimia: whats the command you're using to mount it in ubuntu? [11:28] and the chown went with no error [11:28] no command. just plug it in [11:28] Gallomimia: can you pastebin output of: mount [11:29] i've been playing with mount options under disks... i set it back to auto.... now i output it [11:30] please help, i have a ubuntu 12.04 laptop that all of a sudden boot into a termal, the desktop does not show [11:30] heh. how about just the line pertaining to that disk? it's a mile long... [11:30] Gallomimia: that'll do [11:30] not the only hfs+ drive i have mounted :/ [11:31] /dev/sdf1 on /media/gallomimia/tyche type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2) [11:31] says rw. [11:31] Gallomimia: it is mounted as rw, so must be a permission issue [11:31] chmod seems to have worked [11:32] er, chown [11:32] caring_ish_, Can you run this and post it cat /etc/issue [11:33] Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l [11:33] sandrahey: you still have net access on that machine? [11:33] hi [11:33] caring_ish_, Are you sure you reloaded your sources with 12.10? [11:34] I'd like to install jetBrains IDE, it's an archive with bin/ lib/ etc, where should I extract it ? /usr/local/ ? [11:34] hitsujiTMO: terminal has no trouble. just the gui [11:34] Beldar, I altered the sources.list file. It was loaded with the past repository info [11:35] caring_ish_, Sorry I have you confused with another user, as far as reloading can you pastebin cat /etc/apt/sources.list [11:35] Beldar, I had to comment "#" the past repository info [11:36] hitsujiTMO, yes i have , its next to me, i was reading this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2106116 its the same situation i have [11:36] sandrahey: can you try: sudo apt-get install pastebinit === Thorium220 is now known as Thorium22 [11:37] hitsujiTMO, ok, what will that install? [11:38] sandrahey: thats a tool that will allow you to easily upload logs so we can see where the problem is [11:39] sandrahey: once thats installed, please run: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log then type the url it generates here [11:40] next question: the best way to share specific directories in r/o mode with windows computers on my network is _______ [11:40] gnome-panel is interfering with unity on my system. If I uninstall gnome-panle my system enteres a login loop. What can I do? [11:42] I have been on this issue for hours. Help needed. [11:43] mindbender1: i'm sorry i can't help you, but i'm going to suggest two things, uninstall or reconfigure unity. and research where the system looks for "how to login" and fix what must be broken there. [11:44] alternately you could try CTRL-F# where numbers are different screens, which should have different logins [11:44] F7 is the default login screen i think [11:44] hitsujiTMO, ok, thanks, first i have to get my networking to run on my "broken" laptop [11:45] ctrl+alt+F# [11:45] http://pastebin.com/v3JP5dbc [11:45] hitsujiTMO, if i plugin a network cable while its booted in the terminal , will the network auto connect? [11:46] should, if you have dhcp server on your network. routers do this [11:46] sandrahey: it should [11:47] hitsujiTMO, ok thanks , according to the article it looks like its got something to do with the NVIDIA driver [11:48] Gallomimia: thanks for the suggestions. [11:48] caring_ish_, Looks basically okay I would remove all the other releases commented out, not sure why your upgrade would be going to 13.10 rather than 13.04. [11:49] sandrahey: yes, that would be my first guess too. the Xorg.0.log should give us more info on what exactly is going wrong [11:49] Bonjour [11:49] hi === hub is now known as Guest85545 [11:50] hitsujiTMO, ok, pastebinit is installed [11:50] sandrahey: please run: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log then type the url it generates here [11:50] hitsujiTMO, ok [11:52] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6708657/ [11:52] hello. sorry for my bad enlish. do you know how can I enable trim in ubuntu during the installation? === black is now known as Guest18504 [11:53] greece server? === root__ is now known as tripiness [11:53] ijulian, You would do it after install, === Cadavrez is now known as Cadavre [11:55] Beldar ok thanks, I will do that. do you know how can I check if trim is enabled? [11:55] sandrahey: please run: dmesg | pastebinit and again: please type the url it generates here [11:55] ijulian: trim is not enabled by default(except 14.04) [11:56] yes, I know that. but I would like to know how can I check it after I enabled it, to see if I done well or not [11:56] *after I enable it [11:58] ijulian: mount | grep discard if you enabled discard [11:59] hitsujiTMO, do you think i can remove the nvidia current drivers and install them again? like suggested in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2106116 [11:59] ALL: help on lightdm needed >>no login screen! anyone experienced?? === root__ is now known as tripiness [12:00] hitsujiTMO thanks, that work if I enable it on fstab, cron or both? [12:02] ijulian: thats only if its enabled in fstab. cron (my preffered method) instead runs the command: fstrim / [12:03] sandrahey: thats prob the simplest course of action, but i'd prefer to see exactly what the problem is before taking any actions [12:03] hitsujiTMO thanks you very much for helping me, you solved my problem [12:03] great. samba failed to be configured properly on install. dpkg reported error of max errors reported reached. off to a good start. [12:04] hitsujiTMO, ok, i have pasted the link for you [12:04] i have a problem during my upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 the upgrade never done correctly and now i have the reposistories of saucy. Is there any way to revert it and make the upgrade again? [12:05] khaotix: cha0z1 revert is not quite right... Just use 'aptitude' and let it fix your problems. [12:06] Walex the aptitute suggest me partial upgrade! i think that is not correct. All started when my upgrade manager didnt show the upgrade to 13.10 so I typed : do-release-upgrade [12:11] hitsujiTMO, any suggestions to proceed further? === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider === Guest77922 is now known as Rarity [12:20] hitsujiTMO, you still there? [12:23] Gallomimia: There is a small icon next to the user's name at the login prompt that I had to click to select a proper desktop environment. Thanks again. I'm exhausted already for such an unannounced design. I reserve my bitter comments. === root is now known as Guest32717 [12:25] sandrahey: verify that the nvidia kernel is loaded (sudo lsmod). if not, load it with 'sudo modprobe nvidia' and share dmesg's output. [12:25] * ezra-s chuckles [12:26] MasterOfDisaster, ok [12:27] sandrahey: perhaps it wasn't compiled for the kernel now running, you can force this with the dkms command. verify what you are running the latest kernel installed on your system [12:27] hi, has anyoen tryed setting up a vpn usign strongswan? [12:27] sandrahey: ls /lib/modules vs. uname -a === h[a]kr is now known as hakr [12:28] mindbender1: so you fixed it? that's pretty cool. i really know very little about it. [12:29] can anyone suggest to me some way of working around this bug/error: samba : Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.6.18-1ubuntu3) but 2:3.6.18-1ubuntu3.1 is to be installed [12:29] Depends: libwbclient0 (= 2:3.6.18-1ubuntu3) but 2:3.6.18-1ubuntu3.1 is to be installed [12:29] MasterOfDisaster, looks like i am ruuning kernel 3.2.0-57-generic [12:30] MasterOfDisaster, dont know if its the latest :-) [12:30] hi [12:30] sandrahey: pretty sure 3.11 is latest in the ubuntu release [12:31] MasterOfDisaster, its ubuntu 12.04, i have [12:32] sandrahey: 'ls /lib/modules' should tell you if there's a newer version installed on your system. The scripts dpkg calls on kernel upgrades *might* remove a dkms kernel module from an older version, but this happened only once to me. [12:32] sandrahey: so is the kernel module loaded or not? [12:32] sandrahey: lsmod | grep -i nvidia [12:33] MasterOfDisaster, ruuning the lsmod command i get nvidia 11308613 0 , the nvidia is in red characters [12:35] yeah it's loaded alright then. [12:35] sandrahey: launching X still yields the error you posted? [12:36] does apt-get remove delete files rather than simply deselect? is there another command for that? [12:36] sandrahey: share 'dmesg' output too, if the problem persists. [12:36] Gallomimia: IIRC apt-get purge [12:36] MasterOfDisaster, ubuntu update manager, whants to install linux kernel 3.8.0 , on the current laptop i am using to talk to you [12:37] nope. that one is REALLY delete [12:37] MasterOfDisaster, when running startx i still get the error i posted yes. [12:37] can someson tell me how to remove linux mint (not duel boot) and install windows [12:38] MasterOfDisaster, in the terminal output its states that there is a API mismatch, but it does not state it in the Xorg.0.log pasted [12:39] sandrahey: well, try applying all available updates first and reboot. [12:40] sandrahey: i.e.: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo reboot [12:40] wow. 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 PROGRAM [12:40] MasterOfDisaster, ok, i already did a sudo apt-get upgrade , haven’t reboot yet [12:41] see you soon then [12:42] MasterOfDisaster, rebooting .... [12:42] can someone tell me how to uninstall linux mnt (not duel boot) and install xubuntu [12:42] was the last thing she/he posted :D [12:43] jordan_: just boot the xubuntu installation disk and install it. let it overwrite the old filesystems [12:43] jordan_: when in the partitioning step of the installation, just remove the old linux partitions and recreate them. [12:44] it wont let me boot from my usb and i have the xubuntu files on that i think linux mint has screwed up [12:44] jordan_: if you stored anything in your /home, you should back it up beforehand. [12:45] jordan_: linux is not responsible for any BIOS settings, including boot order. [12:45] MasterOfDisaster, sorry i did not see the line you posted, after the update, i have 163mb to upgrade, will do it now. [12:45] sandrahey: nevermind [12:45] i know but whenever i try to boot my usb the screen just stays black when i click install [12:46] MasterOfDisaster, is the latest kernel for ubuntu 12.04 then 3.8.0? [12:46] jordan_: recreate your usb boot medium or verify it against checksums to be safe. [12:46] sandrahey: checking... [12:47] it does the same thing with any windows or ubuntu disks too if that helps [12:47] MasterOfDisaster, 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 then [12:48] sandrahey: to be safe stick with the driver from the repos. it is patched to be compatible with the kernel and X version. [12:48] sandrahey: don't give in to versionitis, if everything runs smoothly :D [12:49] sandrahey: 3.8.x sounds right [12:49] sandrahey: you can check package versions online: packages.ubuntu.com [12:49] MasterOfDisaster, ok. After the upgrade, how can i check if the driver is from the repos, or not? [12:50] sandrahey: sommy,m i'm back. had an emergency to run to [12:50] sorry* [12:50] MasterOfDisaster, ok, thanks i will check the kernel versions there, in future [12:51] sandrahey: apt-cache policy nvidia-current-updates <-- should list the one from 12.04 repos there as preferred [12:51] hitsujiTMO, 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 go [12:53] ALL: LTS 12.04 and displaymanager lightdn >> no login screen, [12:54] sandrahey: verify that this is the only driver package installed: dpkg --get-selections | /bin/grep nvidia [12:54] sandrahey: not all in this list are driver packages, but their names should be recognizeable. [12:55] tkern_: provide some information - logs? dmesg? something? [12:55] MasterOfDisaster, ok, it is still busy downloading , is there a way to open another terminal? [12:55] sandrahey: gnome-terminal? [12:55] tkern_: pastebin /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log you will need sudo to access that file [12:55] sandrahey: ah, my bad [12:56] MasterOfDisaster, i am stiil in this boot terminal [12:56] sandrahey: ctrl-alt-f1 to f7 [12:56] sandrahey: ctrl + alt + f2 should open another terminal. [12:57] sandrahey: ctrl-alt-f1 should get you back to the one you had open first. === deedee- is now known as deedee [12:57] MasterOfDisaster, ok i have another terminal open [12:57] Hi, I'm having problems installing Pygame on 12.04 [12:57] !details | jayH [12:57] jayH: 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 ..." [12:57] MasterOfDisaster: not shure which logs could help: system.log? >> the trouble is since nvidia disaster there is only the UBUNTU splash screen but no login greeter, [12:58] tkern_: xorg log for starters, /var/log/syslog next. [12:59] MasterOfDisaster, how to a pastebin the terminal output? [12:59] sandrahey: apt-get install pastebinit ; command | pastebinit [12:59] Hey, sure. I have 12.04, have 2.7.3 as default, and Pygame from the repos (1.9.1) - when I run a python script, I don't get an error, a window appears, but nothing inside - always blank, whatever the code [12:59] sandrahey: dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia | pastebinit [13:00] MasterOfDisaster_: there are some.is xorg.0.log the current? [13:00] tkern_: yes [13:00] tkern_: correct [13:00] Anyone got any ideas? [13:01] jayH: any particular python script? or is it every one? [13:01] Every one with Pygame import [13:01] MasterOfDisaster, ok, thanks [13:02] sandrahey: when someone says type a command that ends in | pastebinit they usually want the url the command spits out :) not a thank you [13:02] I had exactly the same issue with Ubuntu 13.04 last week before doing complete reinstall to 12.04 [13:02] jayH: i would try #python first incase its something particular to python that is required rather than a botched installtion [13:03] Maybe I'll give them a look ;) [13:03] MasterOfDisaster, apt-cache policy nvidia-current-updates , http://paste.ubuntu.com/6708911/ [13:03] jayH: to be sure APT wasn't interrupted or forgot something, try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a ; sudo apt-get install -f' first [13:04] sandrahey: looks good. and the dpkg command? [13:04] MasterOfDisaster, dpkg --get-selections , http://paste.ubuntu.com/6708918/ [13:05] MasterOfDisaster, when running startx i does not whant to send output to pastebin, only to the terminal [13:06] hello [13:06] sandrahey: run it like this: startx 2>&1 | pastebinit [13:06] truba: hi [13:06] truba: state the nature of your ubuntu emergency :D [13:07] guys I was an ubuntu user before, so my knowledge is limited. I am setting up a lab to practice gns3 labs so am back to ubuntu now and trying an lxde + ubuntu combo to gain on ram as i have to run quite a bit of routers [13:07] MasterOfDisaster, startx output http://paste.ubuntu.com/6708933/ [13:08] sandrahey: ok, hang on... [13:09] but I am experiencing that my cpu fan is running quite fast even when I am using just lxde and xchat [13:09] MasterOfDisaster, there you can see it says API mismatch. NVIDIA kernel module has version 304.88 but this NVIDIA driver component has version 304.108 [13:09] sandrahey: remove the kernel module first with 'modprobe -r nivida' [13:09] MasterOfDisaster, wiil do [13:09] sandrahey: yeah, let me look up the commands to fix it :D [13:09] the cpu utilization is low though [13:10] MasterOfDisaster, it is still busy with a upgrade, maybe i should whait until that is finished? [13:10] but the hot air coming out form the cpu are is really irritating [13:10] hi all [13:10] i am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit kernel 3.8.0.29 [13:11] should i upgrade kernel [13:11] and how do i upgrade [13:11] my system freezes every hour [13:11] sandrahey: first: apt-get purge nvida-304 nvidia-current nvidia-settings-304 [13:11] nothing works except alt+sysrq+ RESIUB [13:12] guys , please tell me recommended way to upgrade kernel [13:12] aptitude update && aptitude upgrade I guess, kkkkkkkkkkk [13:12] MasterOfDisaster, just waiting for upgrade to finish, +- 3 min to go [13:14] sandrahey: force rebuild of the newer nvidia module: sudo dkms build -m nvidia-304-updates -v 304.108 -k `uname -r` --force [13:14] sandrahey_: since updating to nvidia-304 i have trouble as well. in my case lightdm displaymanager is affected.... [13:14] kkkkkkkkkkk, what makes you think upgrading your kernel will help? seems like a shot in the dark [13:15] kkkkkkkkkkk: anything abnormal in your syslog? [13:15] kkkkkkkkkkk: did you try securing a crashdump? [13:16] kkkkkkkkkkk: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/kernel-crash-dump.html [13:16] perhaps a MCE was the reason for the crash, use mcelog to investigate [13:17] why Canonical will support the coming release of Ubuntu for 5 years? [13:17] kkkkkkkkkkk: overheating may trigger an MCE [13:18] MasterOfDisaster: SORRY, for late reply [13:18] but my system freezes, overheating is not an issue [13:18] it happens everytime, near about 45 minutes after [13:18] logging in, i usually run chrome [13:18] after startup [13:19] Can someone tell me how ubuntu runs if it isn´t using a swap page? [13:19] kkkkkkkkkkk: check your logs. use crashkernel. No investigation possible without data [13:19] MasterOfDisaster: how to check log [13:19] sayah: it's using RAM... [13:19] MasterOfDisaster: i mean, there are many files in /var/log [13:19] kkkkkkkkkkk: ls, cat, less. your logs are in /var/log. [13:19] sayah: if it runs out of memory it will kill processes === darrell is now known as Guest66707 [13:20] kkkkkkkkkkk: start with syslog, especially the older ones. [13:20] kkkkkkkkkkk, do "lspci | grep -i wireless" [13:20] Thanks guys and girls. [13:20] just a bet... [13:21] ezra-s: 2:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) [13:21] kkkkkkkkkkk: freezing is difficult to debug without access to the hardware. It might be faulty disk, faulty RAM, bad usb device, etc. [13:22] master_of_master, ok, removing the nvidia drivers [13:22] kkkkkkkkkkk: utilize your logs and crashkernel to gather data. [13:22] sandrahey: got it :D [13:22] sayah: just type free from terminal [13:22] kkkkkkkkkkk, not the same I used to have problems with. I once had freezes under ubuntu too, a spepcific model of an atheros wifi model, had to even patch the kernel, I was guessing, sorry I don't know of issues with that one [13:22] MasterOfDisaster: NO, in ubuntu 32 bit, it never happened, on 32 bit i am using kernel 3.2.0.52 [13:23] hello [13:23] kkkkkkkkkkk: dual boot setup or what? [13:23] MasterOfDisaster: further, it never happened to me on windows also, it means, hardware is fine [13:23] triple boot [13:23] 2 linux + win7 [13:23] kkkkkkkkkkk: no, it means parts of the hardware are fine [13:23] kkkkkkkkkkk: could still be a dying disk [13:23] MasterOfDisaster: but why the same is not happening on win7 or [13:23] ubuntu 32 bit [13:24] kkkkkkkkkkk: perhaps it will. soon. disk errors are sneaky, but deadly. [13:24] so, should i change my disk [13:24] verify with a livecd and badblocks run on the *whole* disk [13:24] MasterOfDisaster: it has 2 bad sectors, otherwise it is showing healthy status [13:25] MasterOfDisaster: disk utility is showing [13:25] master_of_master, sorry, is it single quotes around the uname -r in the rebuild command? [13:25] kkkkkkkkkkk: duh. so you know it has bad sectors? [13:25] sandrahey: backticks [13:25] sandrahey: ` [13:25] MasterOfDisaster: yes, but 2 bad sectors are with it, since i have purchased laptop [13:25] sandrahey: you can replace it with $(uname -r) [13:25] MasterOfDisaster, ok, thanks just whant to make sure [13:26] kkkkkkkkkkk: do yourself a favour and replace the disk. [13:26] MasterOfDisaster: But now it is out of warranty and it will cost a lot to me, [13:27] kkkkkkkkkkk: yeah so? that's life in IT, deal with it. Sorry, but it is like that. [13:27] MasterOfDisaster: okay, thanks for help, i will think of to purchase a external one, and whether one can partition a external hdd [13:27] or boot from it [13:27] it will help me to decide, whether to purchase a external or internal one. [13:28] kkkkkkkkkkk: dude, seriously. You're inviting more headaches, but well, they are your headaches to have and forunately not mine :D [13:28] MasterOfDisaster, its says its already build for it ? [13:28] sandrahey: did you add --force? [13:29] MasterOfDisaster, yes . http://paste.ubuntu.com/6709001/ [13:29] MasterOfDisaster: guide me, i am confused, which one to purchase, i am not an expert [13:29] By the way you are the master of Disater [13:30] :D === trijntje__ is now known as trijntje [13:30] MasterOfDisaster, should i reboot?

How to use wildcards then ? [13:34] im trying to search for some text in files but when i type: grep "database" /home/luk/*.txt im getting "/home/luk/*.txt : No such file or directory".

[13:36] kibibyte: what do you expect should happen if there are no files matching your wildcard expression? [13:36] sandrahey: verify that your sources.list is the same, is *-updates enabled? [13:36] 3.8? that's not on kernel.org marked as stable or longterm [13:36] thana but i have .txt files [13:36] kibibyte: do you want to search that dir recursively? [13:36] MasterOfDisaster, yes [13:36] kibibyte: not in this folder [13:37] kibibyte: find /home/luk -iname *.txt -exec grep -Hin database {} \; [13:37] MasterOfDisaster, ok, sorry how do i check that? [13:37] MasterOfDisaster: grep /home/luk/**/*txt rather [13:37] thana: does bash support that? [13:38] MasterOfDisaster: sure [13:38] thana: he need to have extglob right? [13:38] i dont know [13:38] thana: meh, I can never remember which version does, and I deal with ancient software now and then. === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [13:39] kibibyte: so 'grep database /home/luk/**/*txt' should work as well, as thana suggested.

[13:40] sandrahey: by comparing /etc/apt/sources.list [13:40] thana, i want searh in all subfolders [13:40] sandrahey: by comparing /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* [13:41] Hey, anyone knows how to disable sudo password prompts when using the -u flag? [13:41] thana: concerning your question: what do you mean by 'fall back'? In which scenario? [13:41] "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" doesn't do it. [13:41] MasterOfDisaster: i heard upstart would fall back to sysvinit if it doesnt have an upstartscript for $service [13:42] vilcans: you shouldn't. It's an information disclosure issue. [13:42] MasterOfDisaster: It makes scripting impossible. [13:42] hello, sorry for my bad english. I tried to use trim with cron, but it seems not active. can you help me? [13:43] vilcans: what are you trying to do? [13:43] MasterOfDisaster: Install and run things with Ansible. [13:43] thana: /etc/init.d/ links are added to upstart scripts, but this is it AFAIK [13:44] Ansible runs commands through ssh for me. [13:44] MasterOfDisaster: any suggestion what to do if i have such a service without upstart script? [13:44] is there a sap2000 alternative for ubuntu?

[13:45] thana: just use the debian sysv tools (update-rc.d). look in the headers of a sample script (skeleton) for the appropriate headers [13:46] MasterOfDisaster: mayeb i should be more clear: i have a puppet-script trying to get the status of service php5-fpm yusing /sbin/status php5-fpm -- just there is no (upstart)service :/ [13:46] vilcans: %sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL [13:46] I tried to use trim with cron, but it seems not active. can you help me? sorry for my bad english. [13:47] thana: puh, consult the puppet docs for an override. you might have to define a custom service class. [13:47] debore2: trim? ssd? [13:48] debore2: why not use the filesystem mount option? [13:48] MasterOfDisaster: Awesome! Thanks! [13:48] MasterOfDisaster yes.

I dont know any way to check this. thanks for help === phunyguy_ is now known as phunyguy [14:10] debore2: what does your log say?

[14:13] bin: no, really ''type ulimit'' type is a command [14:13] I actually meant "type the word ulimit" [14:13] geirha: for real ? [14:13] not "type ulimit" as a command [14:13] bin: no, I mean just type "ulimit" [14:14] i know what ikonia meant [14:14] anyways [14:14] thanks [14:15] hitsujiTMO: dont exist, it says : no se puede acceder a /var/log/trim.log: No existe el archivo o el directorio [14:15] debore2: how long ago did you create the cron? [14:16] hitsujiTMO : 30 mins ago and I reboted [14:16] debore2: that won't necessarily get called on every boot. it a daily cron, so may just bot have been called yet. [14:17] s/bot/not [14:17] hitsujiTMO : is not neccesary to active when ubuntu boot? [14:17] debore2: no [14:19] hitsujiTMO ok, thanks. [14:19] debore2: have made the script executable btw?

[14:24] hitsujiTMO : yes, anacron install [14:24] rajrajraj: this prevents the problem that Windows has [14:24] gordonjcp: what problem? [14:24] widos has the same problem, DLL nightmares [14:24] *Windows [14:24] rajrajraj: windows programs have to package everything they think they need [14:24] rajrajraj: I'll say it again 2no" [14:24] hitsujiTMO: I don't delete a lot of files, maybe is better for me fstab method [14:24] "no" [14:25] debore2: anacron bein installed disables the daily task, so it won't run [14:26] gordonjcp: that is good for those with no intenet, isnt it. or does linux has an alternate distro for it [14:26] rajrajraj: this channel is for ubuntu - you're asking your generic questions in ##linux [14:26] hitsujiTMO: I need to remove anacron? [14:26] rajrajraj: you've been advised to download the DVD - or download packages directly from the internet [14:26] rajrajraj: those are you only options with ubuntu [14:26] rajrajraj: no, that's bad [14:26] rajrajraj: if you don't want to use #ubuntu - the channel ##linux is where you should be asking [14:26] rajrajraj could burn a ubuntu disc to solve his problem, no? [14:27] rajrajraj: so the installers are huge and if two installers package same library, boom === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [14:27] debore2: no, something might be using it. instead use the root crontab to call fstrim: sudo crontab -e [14:28] rajrajraj: it's why windows is too difficult for normal people to use [14:28] Cigrits: what?

[15:42] I have done that [15:44] Akiva-Mobile: neither are "native" to ubuntu. its a poor question. they are both rendering engines. they are both available in ubuntu. neither are "mor native" === me is now known as Guest96888 === Guest96888 is now known as just_me [15:44] Akiva-Mobile: more apps would use gtk if thats the answer that you're looking for === just_me is now known as torentador [15:44] hitsujiTMO: When ubuntu was using gnome, one could say gtk was more native, don't you think? [15:45] Akiva-Mobile: no. just that gtk is the rendering engine used by most apps. it being native is a poor description === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [15:47] Akiva-Mobile, so you choose browser by scrollbar? === jack is now known as Guest93738 [15:47] OerHeks: Aesthetics are important.

[15:51] martian: you mean put your pubkeys on the clients severs? [15:52] martian: or do you mean put your own private keys on your own personal clients that you ssh from? [15:53] hitsujiTMO: By 'client' I mean personal systems I use to work on; as opposed to servers. Basically instead of generating keys on each of my personal systems and then copying the public keys to my server(s) would it be better to simply generate keys once then copy them to all personal systems [15:53] martian: generate once and copy around. [15:55] ok, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking some stupidity in doing that. I guess I've just been too lazy to bother putting much thought in to this and have just opted to have a mess of keys all over the place and like four different keys on github [15:55] thanks for sanity checking me :) [15:55] martian: just ensure that you're copying them in such a way that noone else can get them [15:55] hitsujiTMO: aye :) [15:55] martian: You can always revoke them if something goes wrong.

[17:21] *my ubuntu [17:21] UbuntuUserX: looks like an extension like http://pterocorn.blogspot.ie/2011/10/ponify.html [17:21] Would anyone be kind enough to help me out with EasyBCD and Ubuntu? [17:21] Chrome Extensions are: Addblock, Aswatia Scrollbars, Facebook Fast Delete, FVD Downloader, Google Mail Checker, HTTPS Everywhere, Logitech smooth scrolling, tweetdeck, Wolfram alpha, XKCD substitutions and Sotero [17:21] Zotero* [17:22] I need to create a launcher for a web app (installed locally). I think it could be done by setting the path field in the gnome desktop thing to something like : "firefox /path/to/app" but how would I write the command in that field to have it execute in a shell? [17:23] should i be using openvpn or pptp ? [17:23] hitsujiTMO, are any settings stored in /etc or any other folders that control network configuration? [17:23] when I am trying to remove a ppa via: apt-add-repository --remove name/ppa it's not actually removing it [17:23] anyone know how to fix it? [17:23] would it be : "exec firefox /path/to/app"? Or can I assume that anything given in that feild will automatily execute in a shell anyway? [17:24] So... I have no idea because all of those extensions don't say they change keyboard to lepoard, and the XKCD one is off. [17:24] UbuntuUserX: sounds like XKCD substitutions is the culpret [17:24] anyone know why my ubuntu is suddenly telling me to insert my installation disk to install certain files. p.s i havent got one i just used an old usb [17:24] where is the template stored for .bashrc? [17:24] UbuntuUserX: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/skeyboardleopard/oheflacdocadefgdpiimpapbkomhgbbe/details is exactly what you are describing and XKCD substitutions does the same thing...

[17:25] UbuntuUserX: they are extensions that replace every instance of a specified word with another word... [17:25] you could do a sudo updatedb [17:25] then locate .bashrc [17:25] to find that info [17:25] thanks! [17:26] UbuntuUserX: did you not install XKCD substitutions?

[18:43] ObrienDave, which I would have thought of that when i got this Asus(Broadcom chip) usb wireless adapter for this desktop :( [18:44] it just seems like we get many more questions about those than other brands [18:44] butters: reading the smart info is different to reading the drive itself. could be dodgy firmware. or could be an issue with the drive itself [18:45] demophobia, you'll have to dig into the chipset specs. broadcom makes sets for other brands as well [18:46] demophobia: to be honest its difficult to tell what you're getting when you buy a udb dongle. many manufacturers use different chipsets under the same model. [18:46] i think the drive is fine. It's not been used , ever. [18:46] "udb dongle"? [18:46] doesn't mean it can't be bad, just assuming it's not, considering.

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_, 9.1.11, give me a sec to look that up [19:58] c_smith: this is 12.04 btw [19:59] ok [19:59] rostam what files? [19:59] rostam: Missing files are a strong indicator of a corrupted filesystem or an unclean shutdown. [19:59] well 12.04.3 LTS [19:59] Does anybody here use dnsmasq? I want to choose my gateway but I have no idea which line i must edit.... [19:59] possum_, you're using a beta (there's a MUCH newer stable version on AMD's site) [19:59] oh intersting c_smith [19:59] the fact that it's the old beta version might be the issue. [19:59] I have some files set in the /root. which they gets missed sometimes., [20:00] Do I need to force fsck on boot? [20:00] c_smith: i dont even remeber how i installed it, the weird thing is taht apt-get --reinstall install fglrx says "cannot be downloaded" [20:00] c_smith: so maybe i have to add a repository with a newer version? [20:00] possum_, the Ubuntu Wiki has an article on this. [20:00] rostam: No, reboot into a livecd and run fsck -f [20:00] possum_, you probably used AMD's script. [20:00] linelevel: maybe try turning it off and on again: synclient TouchpadOff=1 && synclient TouchpadOff=0 [20:00] hitsujiTMO: 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] c_smith: does "cannot be downloaded" mean the repository is missing? [20:01] possum_, no clue. [20:01] c_smith: would i have to purge it first? [20:01] c_smith: whast recommended, the script or a repo? [20:01] possum_, 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. [20:02] hitsujiTMO: 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] possum_, here's Ubuntu's wiki page about fglrx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [20:02] bekks, these systems are installed at customer sites, we can do livecd on each system,. Is there anyway we can force fsck during boot? [20:02] Hello, I am on 13.10, using an USB 3G dongle (ZTE K3765-Z) to connect to the internet. It seems that the "Automatically connect to this network when it is available" doesn't exactly work, otherwise I can connect by selecting the profile manually. Is this a known issue? [20:02] c_smith: actually i think i never ran AMD's script, [20:03] possum_, huh, then you might have the repo version. [20:03] c_smith: thanks, it says "The easiest way to install binary drivers is to use the built in Additional Drivers manager in Ubuntu." but there is no explanation what "Adiitional Drivers manager" is or how to use it [20:03] possum_, I take it you're using Ubuntu and not a spin? [20:03] yes c_smith [20:03] possum_, open the dash and type "drivers" [20:04] should bring up a result for the driver manager. [20:04] c_smith: it says command not found [20:04] if by dash you mean terminal [20:04] note that i dont have a gui [20:04] linelevel: is there any info in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:04] possum_, d'oh [20:04] :D [20:04] forgot you had not X use [20:05] rostam: Try "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot. [20:05] bekks, thank you so much [20:05] possum_, k, just purge the current version "sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle" and run "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and reboot [20:05] possum_, that'll make it revert to the OSS drivers.

[21:28] Zolomon: if your home directory is encrypted then unless you are logged in the sshd process can't access your authorized_keys file. there is a writeup on this somewhere let me find it. [21:28] spearhead: maybe try dmesg 2>&1 | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [21:28] spearhead: dmesg | tail | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [21:28] Jeffro_, still on the mac so hard to type but did we hit a dead end with the others helpers?

[21:46] dougl, just opened the Beyond Micro case and it has a 250 Gb Barracuda hdd in it [21:47] spearhead: no that would require power [21:48] nice [21:48] Jeffro_: could you completely remove the hard drive and then plug it back into the case making sure the connections are good and tight [21:48] dougl, just checked all the connections, and everything looks good. then plugged it in and ubunto sees it. WTF [21:49] !wtf | Jeffro_ [21:49] Jeffro_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [21:49] good [21:49] Jeffro_: well I'm glad it turned out to be an easy solution then :) [21:49] nintendo used to work that way too [21:49] * kriskropd huff puff [21:50] Jeffro_: sometimes in these cases the hard drive can shift just a little and cause a bad connection. [21:50] good to know. [21:50] wtf = why the face? [21:50] spearhead: any other ideas on what might fix it? [21:50] wft = worse than failure [21:50] what the f*ck [21:50] ah [21:51] the f word noooooo!!!!! [21:51] The context of those three letters indicate what was meant [21:51] or [21:51] what the frack (BSG) [21:52] This is a worldwide channel respect for others in this area is an obvious need and a channel rule. === markthomas_ is now known as markthomas [21:53] Zolomon: can you describe your problem again? you can ssh from your server to your computer but not the other way? and but if you ssh in with a password and then while that is still open you can ssh in with a key? [21:53] using keys [21:54] dougl, so after I do a bakup, how should I procede with a new install of Kubuntu, or should i not go with kubuntu yet? === Kovaks is now known as CosTaX === lost is now known as Guest86341 [21:57] guys trying to install ubunntu server i am stuck on the menu that says configure the network, the name servers are used to look up host names on the network please enter the ip address, etc [21:57] i have never done this before? It is a standard install from USB do i leave it blank/ [21:57] or go back? and change a setting? === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [21:58] Jeffro_, oh yes' [21:58] Psil0Cybin: are you using static ips or dynamic? [21:58] kubuntu 13.10 [21:58] dynamic [21:58] but i am installing it from the usb :P I went to go back and it continued i guess [21:58] and asked me to enter the hostname for the system? [21:58] I guess i do Rety Network Autoconfiguration [21:58] or will that auto name my hostname? === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [21:59] Psil0Cybin, you can make up a host name just make sure it doesn't match anything else on the network [21:59] maybe something like ubuntu-server [22:00] dougl, do I need to put kubuntu on a cd? [22:00] Psil0Cybin: your dhcp should have supplied namerserver then. the hostname is a unique name for the computer. [22:00] jeffro, you can install from a memory stick === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:01] Jeffro_, or usb [22:01] Jeffro_: you can use either a cd or a flash drive. what os are you running now? [22:01] I have headless Ubuntu 13.10 on a little ARM device with a wifi adapter connected to it. I'm unable to get an IP from DHCP: 'sudo dhclient wlan0' takes a while to run and when it comes back the wlan0 still doesn't have an IP. Here's the output of iwconfig and ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/ygd8Tqsb [22:01] the largest mem stick I have is 16 gb. Is that big enough? [22:01] jeffro, it certainly is [22:02] spearhead, I am running ubuntu 10.xx [22:02] Jeffro_: definately, the system you will be putting on it is only about 1Gb [22:02] Jeffro_: 1gb is more than enough to install it from [22:02] Ok [22:03] spearhead, it kubuntu an easier install than ubuntu? [22:03] Jeffro_, yes... [22:04] because ubuntu changed from what u r used to [22:04] dougl, exactly what is the difference bewenn the two? [22:04] gnome and kde [22:05] hi i want to configure my lan as "manual" in network manager, but i dont want to set a gateway or a dns server, because there is neither. i cannot click "save" until i specify both though. what can i do? [22:06] possum, if you don't have either of them your internet connection won't work [22:07] JO0st: corrent, and i dont want my internet connection to work on the lan because my lan is not connected to the internet [22:07] Does anybody have a printer that does duplexing and can send me their ppd file to look at? [22:07] possum_, default would be the router adress [22:07] Hi === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [22:07] this is a common use case, lan without internet so what the...? [22:07] dougl, don't know the difference between kde and gnome. Shells? [22:07] OerHeks: there is no router [22:07] I'm using mtpaint, I've looked for in the doc, but I've not found an answer [22:07] possum_, you must have a gateway [22:07] I'd like to align the text for eample, but I don't know how to do [22:07] JO0st: correct* [22:07] OerHeks: why? [22:07] Jeffro_: 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.uk [22:07] /features/gnome-vs-kde [22:08] Any ideas? [22:08] I need help installing CISCO packet tracer 6.0.1 in Ubuntu. [22:08] OerHeks: there is no internet and no other network to route to. this is an entirely common use case. a local area network [22:08] what the fnuck? [22:08] Jeffro_: that url got split... http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/features/gnome-vs-kde [22:09] spearhead, thanks [22:09] guys [22:09] Jeffro_: and here you can take a basic tour of unity: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/take-the-tour [22:09] what the fsck is wrong with ubuntu? [22:09] !language | possum_ [22:09] possum_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [22:09] i cannot even implement a totally normal use case, namely a local area network without internet? [22:10] spearhead: dude how did you catch me? i was veiling stuff cleverly [22:10] okay perfect will try it again now [22:10] possum_: that nm not ubuntu. nm suuuucks [22:10] hitsujiTMO: THANKS [22:10] possum_, a lan without router? or switch ? [22:10] hitsujiTMO: indeed [22:10] seems so [22:10] OerHeks: a switch yes [22:10] OerHeks: a switch does no routing or dns [22:10] what the [22:11] possum_: context [22:11] heh [22:11] hey guys I am running the auto network configuration on the server hitsujiTMO [22:11] so i am assuming if autoconfiguration failed, what would i do? === Wheelman is now known as Seek_for_happine [22:12] Jeffro_, keep me posted... I like ti see a happy kubuntu user === Seek_for_happine is now known as SeekForHappines [22:12] OerHeks: seriously, what kind of stool is this? [22:12] dougl: are you using kubuntu? [22:12] dougl, how do I get in touch with u again? [22:12] how can i create a simple lan without gateway [22:12] possum_: which version of ubuntu are you using, for me it works perfectly [22:13] Please CISCO Packet Trace 6.0.1 for linux, I need it for the netacad online course. [22:13] JO0st: 12.04, not sure what you mean by "work", i cannot configure it without providing a gateway and dns server [22:13] hitsujiTMO: I keep getting your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol [22:13] Psil0Cybin: 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 dhcp [22:13] spearhead, yes thanks to unity... [22:13] oh [22:13] Jeffro_, facebook? [22:13] well its connected through the etherner net [22:14] so ill try to do do not configure the network at this time? [22:14] lonewulf85: last time I used Cisco's Packet Tracer, they hada gtk version avaialble in a tarball, check the website [22:14] yep I am on there but will you be listed as dougl? [22:14] lonewulf85: admitingly that was years ago before I realized net-tech wasn't for me [22:14] Psil0Cybin: yes, but you will need to configure it manuall after ( and possibly install drivers too) [22:14] Jeffro_, doug larret [22:14] kriskropd, I have a sh script meant for Ubuntu but it just does not want to work. [22:14] hmmm install drivers, how would I do that if it is a new system without a CD rom drive ....ep [22:15] they gave me drivers in CD format, but they said it was for windows [22:15] possum_: did you specify an IP addres for your own pc? [22:15] dougl, I am Jeff Tilghman [22:15] Jeffro_, all pg tho [22:15] lonewulf85: should just be a simple tar.gz file with a binary inside [22:15] dougl: yeah, unity made me look elsewhere too, first back to gnome 3.10, then to kde, and now I am trying i3-wm which I think i like the best... very simple and basic once you get it configured, but very hard to configure the way you want... [22:15] dougl, ?? [22:15] kriskropd, I will try the one for linux and see. [22:16] hitsujiTMO: I did skip network config and now I am stuck on a purple screen [22:16] is that normal or perhaps I have a problem with my usb stick install? [22:16] Jeffro_, ??? [22:17] it just shows a purple screen with a gray bar at the bottom and the black | [22:17] dougl, all "pg tho" mean? [22:18] Psil0Cybin: give it a minute or two. [22:18] trying to run a scanner program (iscan from epson)... it requires I use sudo... problem is all the defaults then assume I'm root, so each time I scan I have to manually change directories to save my files, instead of being able to click the "Documents" button and be (almost) where I want to be. [22:18] no xxx or swearing please on public facebook Jeffro_ lol my facebook rules :) [22:18] So there's an open wifi network that shows up fine on 'iwlist wlan0' but when I connect to it, DHCP doesn't give me an IP. Any ideas? [22:18] Jeffro_: you can hang out here for as long as you need and if you have any problems, someone here will help. [22:18] Psil0Cybin: might need to just restart the install, but could be a sign of a bad install medium as you suggested. === supergauntlet_ is now known as supergauntlet [22:19] hitsujiTMO: i am trying another USB [22:19] :D [22:20] spearhead, thanx, to all of you hitsujiTMO kriskropd and dougl. Thanx alot :) [22:20] i was using a 3 gb usb, perhaps something got messed up [22:20] now i am trying an 8gb usb. [22:20] is there a utility program that makes the cursors loug and largr and prominent (such as microsoft has supplied with their keyboards for years)? [22:20] loug = loud. [22:22] I posted on askubuntu.com my issues connecting to the wifi. I'm hoping someone here might have an answer? [22:22] http://askubuntu.com/questions/401800/unable-to-connect-to-open-wifi-on-a-headless-ubuntu-on-arm [22:23] Beldar, I didn't see what you said, I went AFK and now it's gone forever. :( === BrianH is now known as Guest36871 [22:24] !quantal [22:24] 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was the 17th release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 [22:24] HDRDanny, I just mentioned a wonder if Windows might need a chkdsk /f/r the os-prober should have added it ti grub is all. [22:24] to* [22:25] Jeffro_: if you really don't like the options of unity or kde ubuntu comes with an option to load GNOME Clasic when you login which would be very similar to the gnome you are used to. [22:25] afk [22:25] Well, it's all good now. Seemingly everything is working properly. [22:25] brb [22:26] Back. === rafael is now known as Guest47574 [22:28] spearhead, is that the initial login or normal login [22:28] hey? [22:29] hitsujiTMO: i am using startup disk creator to install the ISo === dougiel is now known as dougl [22:29] but a pop up came up saying distribution upgrade [22:29] i was confused and closed it [22:29] was that for the server or for my system? [22:29] Psil0Cybin: no [22:30] Psil0Cybin: what version of ubuntu are you on now? [22:30] 12.04 LTS [22:30] got my brick all tricked out again... [22:30] Xubuntu 12.04 LTS [22:30] err one more thing [22:30] kk. 13.10 SDC is quite buggy [22:31] hitsujiTMO: since i canceled [22:31] gotta go, supper is ready see ya guys later. [22:31] i hope i did not break my system ugh [22:31] :( [22:32] Jeffro_: normal login but I would recommend trying either unity or kubuntu, just to see if you like it better, if you download the iso of either of them and create a startup disk with it then you can boot to that disk and try it if you don't like it then try the other one. [22:33] Psil0Cybin: shouldn't. no idea where that dialogue came from to. should have nothing to do with SDC [22:33] same here let me try and restart [22:33] and see if my computer is still fine [22:34] What do you guys think of docker? [22:37] p3rsist, channel is not for polling is all, do you have an issue needing support? === dustin_ is now known as spearhead___ [22:37] Beldar, No. Thanks. [22:37] Is it feasible to keep an entire user account on an external drive, usually diconnected? [22:38] hitsujiTMO: question when installing ubuntu server [22:38] if im using it for a HTTP Server, php,mysql [22:38] would I encrypt my home directoryu? [22:38] would i still be able to display everything normally, just if the computer is off things cannot be accessed? [22:38] po polsku ? [22:40] Psil0Cybin: no need. encrypting a home dir is only if you're storing personal stuff there and others can have access to the machine. that shouldn't be the case for a web server [22:40] kk === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [22:40] okay hitsujiTMO [22:40] sorry question for partition method [22:40] if it is a hard drive raid, I would do Guided use entire disk and set up LVM [22:40] or encrypted LVM? [22:41] DaemonicApathy: Depends on your definition of feasible. For non technical users I would say "nope" [22:42] ugh hitsujiTMO having more problems [22:42] than I thought [22:42] if I have a hard drive raided system [22:43] why would It show up all my hard drives as seperate partitions [22:43] does that mean it was a software raid? [22:43] Well, 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] Hello [22:43] Psil0Cybin: lvm is usually an unnecessary burden on a basic server. encrypt only if you absolutely need it. is this server at home or in a datacenter? [22:43] data center [22:43] for work [22:43] DaemonicApathy: 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 work [22:43] but it was 3 TB Drives all raided together [22:43] How can I make the boot loader (GNU GRUB) find OS on computer and add it to list? [22:44] but it shows up as seperate partitions [22:44] How can I start a process in a script with a parent of init? For example if I run `gedit &!` in a terminal top shows the parent to be zsh (my shell), how do I get it to show init as the parent like most other apps? [22:45] smallfoot-, sudo update-grub [22:45] Psil0Cybin: 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 encryption [22:45] kk ty [22:45] but do u perhaps have a guide for raiding a system for Ubuntu Server [22:46] i just bought this computer, they said they did a raid 5 with the 3 hard drives but they show up as seperate partitions [22:46] they said it would be easy to do with windows, and they never did it on linux [22:46] yeahitsme: 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] but does that mean it was a software raid [22:46] if it shows up as sepeate partitions hitsujiTMO ? [22:46] Psil0Cybin: no, is there a raid card on it? [22:47] hitsujiTMO: i have no idea, they took the 1 TB drives (3 of them) and told me that they would be raided as 1 Drive. [22:47] but i cannot figure out why it shows me three partitions. === SneakyBeaver is now known as SneakyBeaver-AFK [22:47] it looks like my computer picks up the three diff hard drives [22:47] Psil0Cybin: if its seperate partitions then it sounds like no raid. [22:47] as sepearate. [22:47] wowowow, alright hitsujiTMO [22:47] JO0st: [22:47] JO0st: yes [22:47] could they have done a software raid in the bios ? in which ubuntu does not recognize [22:47] JO0st: ip for my own pc [22:48] could that be a posibility? [22:48] hitsujiTMO: or what would i do if i wanted to get all the three hard drives to be raided? [22:48] hey guys. Is there a way I can kill a certain process when I enter reboot into terminal? I know there are ways to make scripts execute on boot. Is there a way to accomplish this? [22:48] Psil0Cybin: soft raid is done in the os. [22:48] aside from writing a script that will do it in a roundabout way [22:48] hitsujiTMO: so I can soft raid the drives after I install the O.S? [22:48] On any partition? [22:48] Psil0Cybin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [22:49] hitsujiTMO: also if ih ave physical access to the machine i would want to perhaps encrypt LVM? As Long as when I start up the server, I have access before SSHing? [22:49] Psil0Cybin: raid needs to be setup before the install === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [22:50] hitsujiTMO: [22:50] possum_, for me it is possible to save the config as soon as i have entered the IP addres and subnet mask for my own pc. [22:50] oh so I am in a good step [22:50] also don't forget to specify the mac address of the interface you want to use [22:50] I will follow the link you provided [22:50] DaemonicApathy: if you would really want to to do it, you could probably make a persistant user with a home directory pointed at nothing, and then have your hard drive mount at the home for that user [22:50] and it should be raided correct?? [22:50] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:50] Psil0Cybin: if this is in the company datacenter then there should be no need for encrypted lvm. The only scenario that that would be needed is if you expect to have unauthorised access to the server [22:50] Thanks, yeahitsme, I think that's the route I'll try first. [22:51] hitsujiTMO: oh okay [22:51] perfect :) [22:51] hey I am having an issue, how do I install the catalyst drivers?

[23:06] possum_:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0, use case 4 [23:06] so i ticked off all 6. /dev/sba1 example [23:06] hey. using ubntu 12.04 and having an issue. login with guest session works fine. but with my standard user i just get a black screen for a second and then back at login. doesn't say that pw is wrong. [23:07] some issues w/ nvidia or xorg? any way to reset their settings? [23:07] right hitsujiTMO ? [23:07] trhanks JO0st [23:08] possum_: no problem [23:09] hitsujiTMO: when i go to continue [23:09] after selecting all 6 [23:09] it just keeps me on the menu [23:09] startouf, You might look through here while you wait. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=messaging+menu [23:09] JO0st: i like that workaround [23:09] thanks [23:09] thanks Beldar [23:10] anyone know what to do at this raid5 Menu [23:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6711804/ [23:10] I am installing a server, followed all steps but stuck here [23:10] startouf, no problem, not familiar with that is all. [23:10] it will not let me continue [23:10] do i jut connect sda2 [23:10] and sdc2 [23:10] and sda2? [23:10] Beldar : well I've checked there.. nothing refers to Ubuntu 13.10, anyway it seems it's a known bug [23:11] Psil0Cybin: 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 etc [23:11] AHHH! [23:11] omg thank you!! [23:11] seems straight forward...sheesh [23:12] hitsujiTMO: [23:12] so i selected, sda1 sdb1 and sdbc1 [23:13] and it gave me the raid can be configured no adition changes are made [23:13] so this will be shown everytime i add each three? [23:13] yup thanks [23:14] figuring it out :) phew. [23:14] after i am done the three md's I go to finish [23:15] hitsujiTMO: when I go to finish partition and write changes to disk [23:15] it says I am missing a root drive.... [23:15] says no root file system. [23:15] did i make a mistake?? [23:16] Psil0Cybin: you need to assign what each md is. so need to assign which md is efi sys part, which is root and which is swap [23:16] hitsujiTMO: sorry do i go back to Guided partitioning? [23:16] After I am at the menu where it lets me finish? [23:16] it shows me guided partition configure software raid configure logical voume manager [23:16] then shows me the partitions then says undo or finish [23:17] Psil0Cybin: when yuo created the partitions it should have given you the option to assign them too [23:17] I think it just automatically created 3 partitions in each. [23:18] I think it auto assigned them? [23:18] Hola e.e [23:19] hitsujiTMO: What would i do tat this point? If I am assuimg they where auto assigned? === SJrX is now known as SJr [23:19] hitsujiTMO: or am i supposed to select a partition? [23:19] Psil0Cybin: hmm. yes it should have been auto assigned. [23:20] It shows me all 3 hard drive, 3 partitions each [23:20] it says raid by each of the partitions [23:20] but it still shows them 3 in each hard drive [23:20] msg hey guys [23:20] Psil0Cybin: you should be able go back and assign. [23:20] how do i reset the password for root if i am using a live disc ? [23:20] hitsujiTMO: how far do I go back? [23:21] Psil0Cybin: just hit go back and you should have a list of the drives and you should be able to edit them then [23:21] i hit go back [23:21] and it took me back to the install main manu [23:22] i am on partition disks [23:22] o.O . unless you were already at the list. ok. [23:22] oh [23:22] i was at the list [23:22] i was just confused which one to select. [23:22] localg0d, 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 list [23:22] I do not know what to select hitsujiTMO I just went to finish [23:22] and it said no root file system [23:22] Psil0Cybin: ok. if theres md devices select, if not select the sdXYs and assign them [23:23] how to mount a samba share with rw access??? [23:23] cool... hit me with it spearhead ... please [23:23] how to mount a NTFS samba share with rw access??? [23:23] how do i know where the md devices are? I am stuck on the partition list where I can see undo changes to parttions and finish [23:23] I cannot see md devices to select, just the 3 hard drives that are raided I see [23:24] I just see [23:24] Raid 5 Device 0 [23:24] raid 5 Device 1 [23:24] Raid 5 Device 2 [23:24] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:24] and the hard drives bellow and the partitions.. [23:24] Psil0Cybin: ahh ok. so thats the mds. [23:24] ahhh [23:25] localg0d, What is the context here, and your end goal besides what your have mentioned? [23:25] Psil0Cybin: what size are each one? [23:25] so I click enter on Raid Device #0? [23:25] you* [23:25] dcevice #0 is 196.1 MB Software Raid [23:25] Psil0Cybin: thats your /boot/efi [23:25] device #2 is a 2.0 TB Software RAID Device [23:25] thats your / [23:25] and device 3 = 17 .1 GB software raid device [23:25] thats your swap [23:25] Beldar, I am trying to set the root password on my liveboot usb .. [23:25] so 17.1 GB [23:25] is the OS? [23:25] localg0d, 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 account [23:26] Psil0Cybin: no thats your swap file. youve ~16gb ram on the server is it? [23:26] localg0d: you don't set the root password in ubuntu - it's a locked account [23:26] localg0d, That does not really make sense, just curious why? [23:26] (sudo passwd root) and then it will ask me for my new password ? [23:26] ikonia, wrong.. i've done it before but it's been more than a year since i've done this work [23:26] localg0d: no, it's not wrong - your approach is wrong [23:26] Beldar, so that I can setup a live boot cd for my father ... he keeps crashing my laptop at home.. [23:26] hitsujiTMO: I think so [23:26] or 8Gb [23:27] not sure atm [23:27] hitsujiTMO: so which one do I select? [23:27] localg0d: the ubuntu security model locks the root account, so it shouldn't have a root password, so there is no need to set it [23:27] 2.0 TB? [23:27] localg0d, yes but as ikonia said you should disable it, you can do anything you need to from sudo [23:27] ok 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] hitsujiTMO: the 2.0 TB raid device #1? [23:27] Beldar, 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 tool [23:27] Psil0Cybin: select raid 1 and make sure its assigned as efi system partition and mounted as /boot/efi [23:27] localg0d, using the root account is a good way to brick your system [23:28] i select raid # 1 [23:28] and it says [23:28] You are edition partition #1 of raid5 device 0 [23:28] Psil0Cybin: sorry, should have said dev 0 [23:28] No existing file system was detected in this partition [23:28] partition settings. [23:28] My 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] copy data, erase data, done setting up parttiiotn [23:28] !enter | Psil0Cybin [23:28] Psil0Cybin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:28] localg0d: so you don't need a root password for that [23:28] localg0d, 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? [23:29] hitsujiTMO: [23:29] Once 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 root [23:29] i did not install the file system yet [23:29] all i did was parttion it? [23:29] i am confused... [23:29] localg0d, you can just create another account with admin access and do everything from sudo and never even touch root [23:29] no 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 system [23:29] it gives me partition settings? It does not let me label or rename or something [23:29] ok spearhead ... how do i create a new account from inside the live boot usb drive ? [23:29] localg0d: the ubuntu root password has been locked since version 1 [23:30] Psil0Cybin: does it let you set the partition type? [23:30] how to mount a NTFS samba share with rw access??? [23:30] ikonia, i know.. but i changed the password to prevent rootrz etc... [23:30] localg0d, does it have persistance? [23:30] localg0d: then you have no idea what you are doing - you've just created a securtiy hole [23:30] localg0d: so you are the problem - not your father/ubuntu [23:31] when 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 partition [23:31] yes it has persistence.. spearhead , that is the word i was looking for not the word static.. [23:31] Psil0Cybin: use as: efi system partition [23:31] it says that under you are editing partition # 1 of raid5 device #0 no existing file system was detected in this partiton [23:31] hitsujiTMO: [23:31] ikonia, please don't act condescendant to me... lol [23:31] does not let me select anything [23:32] jut says use as do not use [23:32] Oh [23:32] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:32] localg0d: I'm not, I'm telling you the truth as you are making more problems than you fix === BrianH is now known as Guest71540 [23:32] okay! [23:32] localg0d: and blaming your father/ubuntu for these problem will not help you stop creating the problems you are trying to fix [23:32] localg0d, then just create a user in the system settings > users [23:32] Psil0Cybin: so it gives you no options when you hit enter on use as? [23:32] so raid5 device #0 / # 1 is no 196.1 MB EFIboot [23:32] okay!! [23:32] :D good! [23:32] now dedvice # 1 = # 1 2.0 TB is... [23:32] Psil0Cybin: and it should be mounted as /boot/efi [23:32] it just says [23:33] 196.1 MB B f EFIboot [23:33] localg0d, or if you want commandline sudo adduser [23:33] Psil0Cybin: Psil0Cybin go into dev #1 and use as ext4 and set that to mount as / [23:33] localg0d, sudo adduser new_username [23:33] okay [23:33] so thats for the 2.0 TB drive hitsujiTMO [23:33] Psil0Cybin: then go back to #0 nd see if you can set it to be mounted as /boot/efi [23:33] correct? [23:34] Psil0Cybin: yes [23:34] spearhead, thank you ... [23:34] hitsujiTMO: [23:34] just says EFIboot [23:34] spearhead, can the permissions for this account be changed after ? [23:34] regardless of going back [23:34] how to aumount a NTFS samba share with rw access??? [23:35] could that still be good news or? hitsujiTMO [23:35] Psil0Cybin: ok. hopefully it will auto set the mount point then. [23:35] eeep okay we will see [23:35] so [23:35] errr 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] dev # 2 and #1 17.1 GB [23:35] Psil0Cybin: now sdev #2 : use as: swap [23:35] is the swap? [23:35] okay [23:35] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:35] localg0d, a new user is admin by default unless specified as limited [23:36] localg0d, a "normal" user in linux is an admin [23:37] hitsujiTMO: [23:37] so far so good [23:37] thank you so much, i will keep you posted ::D I owe you a medel. [23:37] spearhead, duh.. i forgot (smacks forehead) [23:38] spearhead, 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] localg0d: an "admin" will have the groups adm and sudo [23:39] localg0d: and lpadmin [23:39] So 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] localg0d, i would suggest creating a user in the system settings > users because it is easy and you can adjust what privileges the user has [23:40] i don't see a system settings.. [23:40] i'm currently in the ultimate edition booted into the live setup.. [23:40] ultimate edition is not a supported distro [23:40] as it is not an ubuntu product [23:40] ultimare edition? [23:40] hitsujiTMO: poor respin [23:41] localg0d, what ubuntu is this? 13.10? [23:41] ultimate edition as he's just stated [23:41] so it's not ubuntu [23:41] not sure but the questions i need support for are general tech questions [23:41] localg0d: it's not supported here [23:41] and it's an ubuntu derived system [23:41] localg0d: there are differences in the spin [23:41] localg0d: it has support resources listed on it's website if that helps [23:42] i can't access those.. somethings' wrong with my web.. this is the ONLY thing working right now... including what servers are accessible.. [23:43] hitsujiTMO: 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] localg0d: then I suggest you fix the problems and access those support resources [23:43] localg0d: we don't support it here [23:43] hmm... ikonia , i don't want to sit here and argue with you .. don't have the time... [23:43] localg0d: no problem, good luck [23:43] Psil0Cybin: ofc [23:44] spearhead, thank you for your help... the general commands were successful .. thanks much man [23:44] localg0d: you can /msg me if you want and i can see if I can help more [23:46] spearhead, e3 enlightenment? === dougiel is now known as dougl [23:46] I installed vim-syntax-go, but it doesn't seem to work. What should I check? [23:46] dougl: what? [23:47] Hi! [23:47] dougiel: what?

[23:48] spearhead, I did not know what that was but I was on the mac and cannot type on that thing... I will google it - thanks [23:48] no it says [23:48] Wuts Ubotta? i did !ask and ubotto showed up [23:48] inserrt boot media :S [23:48] for example, I type $ vim example.go, and :set ft? shows me that ft is empty, but if I do $ vim example.py, it shows ft=python. [23:48] spearhead, lots of eyecandy? [23:49] but it said it was done the install ,and to remove the USB [23:49] Psil0Cybin:do you have a live cd? [23:49] hitsujiTMO: yea i have the USB I used to install the server [23:49] thats it [23:49] dougl: it is a very simple window manager where pretty much everything can be controlled from the keyboard [23:49] anyone know where the state of the kickstart support is in ubuntu at this point (or more appropriately, in ubuntu 12 ) [23:49] I'm not a bot! [23:49] it shows the RAID on boot [23:49] and says functional [23:49] just cannot get into the O.S [23:49] spearhead, thanks [23:49] Whats grub? [23:50] Psil0Cybin: so wait... is grub coming up? [23:50] waterlubber: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/765438 [23:50] Ubuntu bug 765438 in linux (Ubuntu) "8086:2a42 [eMachines E527] On startup, the backlight is off on laptop" [Medium,Incomplete] [23:50] waterlubber: the ! prefix is used to send a command to the ubottu bot, I was asking it to tell you not to ask to ask just ask your question [23:50] ##linux I am using Linux Ubuntu 13.10. I have dnsmasq set up on my computer server. I have already setup dnsmasq so that it turns my server into a DHCP server and DNS server for resolving addresses for local websites. However I am unable to connect to the internet because the gateway was not configured in dnsmasq.conf. 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 t [23:50] hitsujiTMO: I think grub comes up, and it just goes straight into pick an OS. [23:50] Or maybe grub does not show up actually [23:50] since it just shows the BIOS [23:50] Oh okay! Wow! it found a topic for me that is so awesome! [23:50] hitsujiTMO, hi, there no way to understand how to bit my problem? ( [23:50] Lol I love ubottu! *hugs it* anyway bai since it helped me [23:51] what an absolute nutcase. [23:51] hitsujiTMO: I do not think grub is working actually... [23:51] it just goes straight into boot from something [23:51] do any of you have ubuntu installed on an Intel NUC?

[23:51] Psil0Cybin: ok. can you boot the installer again [23:51] dondopa: depends. are you using dnsmasq as the router, which is the basic assumption [23:52] yup one second [23:52] yes [23:52] as the DHCP server [23:52] Psil0Cybin: damn actually i dont think that has the tools necessary. [23:52] But I did not configure it to point to the gateway of my choosing [23:52] dondopa: then you shouldnt have any problems with it, it will provide itself as the default gateway [23:52] hitsujiTMO: oh no :( [23:52] Psil0Cybin: can you create a bootable usb of a desktop distro? [23:52] what can i do.. [23:52] yes, i will get one now [23:52] dondopa: .... ok, lets try this again [23:52] one second hitsujiTMO !

[23:52] Let us talk in private [23:53] hi [23:53] dougl: i3-wm is in the ubuntu universe repositories if you want to try it out, just sudo apt-get install i3 I will warn you though it can be confusing to use [23:53] i upgraded to ubuntu 13.1 and now my streaming video is really choppy. any ideas on how i can fix this? [23:53] hitsujiTMO: that is the only way to solve this? Get another live CD of Ubuntu [23:53] and we are going to see how to fix this? [23:53] i am downloading the desktop iso right now...12 minutes [23:54] but would I have to redo everything hitsujiTMO or it might just be as simple as changing a file? [23:54] to fix this issue.. [23:54] dougl: 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 managers [23:54] loki_: i'm afraid i've no idea why thats happening. [23:55] anyone by chance familiar with the state of kickstart support in ubuntu12 ? [23:55] Psil0Cybin: 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 manager [23:55] Daemoen: it works fine - but it's not really the standard for debian based distros [23:55] ikonia: i know, and since when are you an ubuntuer? havent seen you in #rhel in a while [23:55] i 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? [23:56] Daemoen: I don't use it really, I do follow it's developments though [23:56] ikonia: unfortunately, preseed is very rough when it comes to partitioning :) [23:56] Daemoen: I'm in #rhel now [23:56] Chertan: rsync [23:56] ikonia: ok fine, let me rephrase, havent seen you chat much lately in there :p [23:56] hitsujiTMO: 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] Daemoen: the netsplits caught me out [23:56] hitsujiTMO: is this an issue that can be resolved? Or did I just cause a big problem? [23:57] 13 minutes until I am done getting the iso. [23:57] Psil0Cybin: should be fixable with a bit of chrooting [23:57] !rsync | Chertan [23:57] Chertan: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [23:57] ty hitsujiTMO [23:57] msg you soon second the iso is done downloading [23:57] ah [23:57] and i burn it to usb? [23:57] Psil0Cybin: just need to see what has actually happened [23:57] anyone? [23:57] okay hitsujiTMO :) thank you for being by my side man i really appreciate it [23:57] ok, back to working on my ubuntu preseed config :| [23:57] ill get back to u in a few minutes once i have the live cd ready [23:58] Daemoen: as long as you don't use anything thats not in ubuntu, eg: the selinux --disable type options it works [23:58] Daemoen: and anything you pass to pressed config you can/should be able to translate to kickstart [23:58] Daemoen: but I've found not everything works [23:58] ikonia: the part im having lots of fun with is the partitioning [23:58] im tryting to use playonlinux to install itunes but it doesnt seem to be working [23:59] i am SOOO spoiled on kickstart lvm partitioning from rhel [23:59] qin Beldar so you mean i should use rsync for backups on ubuntu one? [23:59] how can i install itunes? [23:59] Daemoen: not a raid disk by any chance is it ? [23:59] Blackshear: you can't [23:59] nope [23:59] pure lvm [23:59] ikonia, why [23:59] hitsujiTMO: it might be a little longer 15 minutes till the ISo is done [23:59] i upgraded to ubuntu 13.1 and now my streaming video is really choppy. any ideas on how i can fix this?
