[00:00] i want to start a new GUI session. i pressed ctrl+alt+F2 and logged in, i typed startx and it puts me in to cinnamon. does anyone know how to start the login session so i can choose which desktop environment i want [00:00] hitsujiTMO, is there a space between 1a\ and the text? [00:01] BillyZane: you can change the preferred DE in your ~/.xinit [00:01] ohhh hmmm [00:01] PublicStaticVoid: disable it in edit > plugins [00:01] Not sure how to start another instance of lightdm or whatever dm you are running though [00:01] BillyZane, I believe you have to stop that one easier to just log out, if you have to use the tty run stop there then start to get to the login. [00:01] glitsj16: There is no edit [00:01] Beldar, but i have a bunch of stuff running that i don't want to shut down [00:02] at least not when launched from the shell extension [00:02] PublicStaticVoid: that might be in the global menu, right next to the dash icon [00:02] ie right clicking on an iso and clicking open with brazero [00:02] BillyZane, i don't believe you can switch between DE while not logging out [00:02] BillyZane, What ever is on all your desktops is available on all of them, what is the reasoning here? [00:02] what do you mean [00:03] Beldar, are you saying i can log out of one DE and load another and still have firefox loaded [00:03] PublicStaticVoid: you'll have to open brasero once in that case to set plugin prefs [00:03] no he doesn't :) [00:03] he isn't :P [00:03] BillyZane, No, what I was saying that all apps of any de should be available on the others, and what is the reasoning for this. [00:04] beldar, oh i see [00:04] i can't find ~/.xinit [00:04] BillyZane, i'm telling you...you can not just switch desktop env. without logging out [00:04] mmm questions not answered my favorite [00:04] ctrl+alt+F2 , i loaded cinnamon [00:05] no problem [00:05] i was running 2 simultaneously [00:05] they were independent of each other [00:05] 2 workspaces [00:05] chemist^: the \ is immediately followed by a newline. the \ escapes the newline so its inserted as a newline character [00:06] hitsujiTMO, how do i do that in terminal... shift+enter? [00:06] chemist^: just hit enter [00:07] you'll see the prompt change to > thrn [00:07] then* [00:08] hitsujiTMO, i didn't understand you well..but i tried it and figured it out :) thanks [00:09] glitsj16: thx [00:10] PublicStaticVoid: no trouble, i noticed disabling all plugins makes brasero much more stable, not a single issue since.. [00:11] BillyZane, do you have all windows in one of the 2 DE available in the other? [00:12] you said you had 2 running at the same time [00:12] BillyZane, are you able to access a window opened in one of them from the other? [00:13] BillyZane, if yes, there maybe is a solution to your problem... if not, i'm afraid what you're asking can't be done ;) at least i have no idea [00:17] glitsj16: Will pulling the DVD out while it is "Generating Checksum" mess the disk up? I mean it has already ben finalized right? [00:18] hitsujiTMO: i got the new chipset, i am putting it into the machine. I will keep u posted. :) [00:18] !news [00:18] how many btc does 0E-8 = ? [00:18] !calc 0E-8 [00:18] wrong room [00:18] PublicStaticVoid: it it was me i'd wait for it to finish, then again i have a huge collection of missburn-coasters, not sure what would happen exactly to the DVD [00:19] *if [00:19] Ya Ill wait [00:19] Its just Windows haha [00:19] :) [00:19] DOnt wana wait for that shit to burn again [00:20] !language > PublicStaticVoid [00:20] PublicStaticVoid, please see my private message [00:20] Hoping this OEM non cracked Win 8.1 ISO will actually pull me Win key from the firmware [00:20] if i installed 13.10 on my uefi board and i can select and run kubuntu in grub, but it only appears a black screen with the underscore blinking. what could be the problem ? [00:21] So I dont have to pay Toshiba 65 dollar for them to send me proper media installation [00:21] PublicStaticVoid: win8 oem key is pulled from the secure boot cert [00:21] I know this [00:21] PublicStaticVoid, thought of making a bootable usb instead of burning discs? [00:21] PublicStaticVoid: as long as its the right version it should work [00:22] Tried that, tried 3 different linux programs and followed 3 guides with no luck, alway get a blinking cursor [00:22] hitsujiTMO: Actually no, It cant be retail [00:22] unetbootin worked well with me every time [00:22] PublicStaticVoid: nope, retail works. your thinking of xp [00:23] mr-jack: press e or tab (cant remeber for grub 2) over the version of Ubuntu you are trying to boot and delete quiet and splash [00:23] then pres ctrl x [00:23] or startup disc creator === hub is now known as Guest12860 [00:23] yo [00:23] hitsujiTMO: No I am not. I have tried retail. Retail doesnt check for embedded keys just tkes them from the user [00:23] This is well documented on mny sites including microsoft lmao [00:23] do you guys know where i can download cs5 photoshop for ubuntu [00:24] you cant [00:24] You can run it through wine [00:24] can i get iphoto for ubuntu terminal? [00:24] proto, try: sudo apt-get install gimp [00:24] how do i run this through wine [00:24] it's not photoshop but has many features [00:25] i will try PublicStaticVoid , ty [00:25] chemist^: Unetbootin wont work for Win 8 [00:25] i need photoshop sorry [00:25] Have tried mny times [00:25] proto: sudo apt-get install gimp [00:25] Just blinking cursor [00:25] :) [00:25] proto: PS works under wine [00:25] PublicStaticVoid: copy the contents of the iso over to a fat32 usb [00:25] proto use gimp, ot takes allot to learn it, but my faughter went through it and she won't even touch photoshop anymore. [00:25] hitsujiTMO: Done thats as well, as stated [00:25] proto: on playonlinux [00:26] where can i install cs5 photoshop? [00:26] Just get a blinking cursor [00:26] tried Fat32 and NTFS [00:26] i need a link right? [00:26] sorry bit of a noob [00:26] proto if you have the latest stable wine installed (not from the repo) then you just right-click on setup.exe and run with wine [00:26] proto: There is no PS for Linux you can emulate with Wine or run Gimp [00:27] Gimp is a fully featured phote editing software suite for linux with PS file support [00:27] yes i need a download link [00:27] proto: go to the software manager - and search: playonlinux or wine [00:27] no download link [00:27] proto, you'll have to download the windows version and install it like you'd do on windows [00:27] i dont know where to download it from [00:27] LOL download link [00:27] ;DDD [00:27] hitsujiTMO: i put in the card, restarted the system..and its still hanging on waiting for networking configuration on the system startup [00:27] proto, try buying it [00:27] sudo apt-get install gimp from a terminal [00:27] Psil0Cybin: did you set a config? [00:27] no hitsujiTMO [00:27] publicstaticvoid whats this gimp [00:27] proto, adobe photoshop is not for free, you can't just download it from their homepage [00:27] is it photoshop [00:28] proto: I told you above [00:28] no its not [00:28] There is no Photoshop for Linux [00:28] Psil0Cybin: sorry, did you set a config for the onboard card? [00:28] You can run with latest version of wine [00:28] proto, gimp is a program that's similar to photoshop in many ways... [00:28] try it [00:28] We have all told you this 3 time now [00:28] no i did not, i just put the card into the computer and noticed that the lights turned on when the ethernet wire wwas inside [00:28] so i attempted to just turn on the machine [00:28] ok il try gimp [00:28] proto, open your terminal and type: sudo apt-get install gimp [00:28] there ya go [00:29] i think its still etting the eth0 settings from the old card. [00:29] Don't get sponburn [00:29] Psil0Cybin: i mean, yesterday ... did you set a config... in /etc/network/interfaces [00:29] proto, after that find it in your applications menu [00:29] hitsujiTMO: i did but for eth0 being the motherboard card. [00:29] i do not know what this new card is called. [00:29] why are you using the interferfaces file and not network-manager [00:30] omfg its still building a checksum [00:30] Psil0Cybin: cool. first, try disabling the internal card in the bios [00:30] Psil0Cybin, ifconfig ? [00:30] PublicStaticVoid: tone down the language [00:30] no sorry dont like it lol [00:30] ikonia: its a server [00:30] hitsujiTMO: so restart the computer, go in bios and look for ethernet settings/ [00:30] how do i unistall [00:30] omfg isnt bad language, thanks. [00:30] :) [00:30] PublicStaticVoid: it is - everyone knows what it means, hence "please tone it down" [00:30] proto, wow you really checked it out... [00:31] Oh My Fudgng God? [00:31] sudo apt-get remove package [00:31] No it isn't thanks. [00:31] didnt like the first impression :D [00:31] PublicStaticVoid: please don't be silly, we know what it means, it' a polite request to tone it down [00:31] how do i uninstall it [00:31] proto, you can't tell a book from it's cover [00:31] And, there isn't anything to tone down... [00:31] try [00:31] how do i install it anyway? [00:31] It is an acronymn hat means many things. [00:31] Hi. I installed Ubuntu (DreamStudio Unity flavour) on my wife's Macbook. When she plugs the earphones, she hears nothing. The system identifies she's using the earphones, but.. she hears nothing. Tried with difrenet earphones, both low and high-end. Any idea? [00:31] hitsujiTMO: i am in bios settings, looking in Peripherals...but i cannot find anything to turn off the eth0card. [00:31] proto, i told you.. sudo apt-get remove gimp [00:31] PublicStaticVoid: the most common meaning is not nice - hence tone it down, [00:32] oh i c [00:32] hitsujiTMO: do i turn off the Onboard LAN Controller? [00:32] No. [00:32] is that it? [00:32] Psil0Cybin: what board is it? [00:32] PublicStaticVoid: this is getting outside of "ubuntu"'s scope === Mars is now known as Guest61108 [00:32] thanks guy [00:32] :) [00:32] PublicStaticVoid: sorry - not you that was for Psil0Cybin [00:32] GIGABYTE 970A -DS3P [00:32] Psil0Cybin: this is getting outside of #ubuntus scope [00:32] Psil0Cybin: you seem to have zero idea how to run the hardware/software of your machine [00:32] proto: try using the software manager, you can install & uninstall from there [00:32] Psil0Cybin: It is fine to ask about that here. [00:33] This guy needs to calm down. [00:33] proto downloading copyright software is illegal...you won't get any advice on how to do that here... [00:33] Psil0Cybin: we are not going to start checking bios settings for you on how to enable/disable hardware i nthe bios [00:33] Psil0Cybin: I suggest you stop trying to setup the OS for a while and try to learn/understand how to use your hardware [00:33] I will help you here. [00:33] PublicStaticVoid: no - you will not, [00:33] ikonia: well usually i never had an issue, that i can not get a networking eth0 card set up...usually everything works fine, I have been using linux and building machines and I have never had this issue before with a server. [00:34] Three questions: Is the kernel still different on the Ubuntu Server ISO? Is any build RC of 12.04.4 downloadable? How do you install minimal from the server iso? [00:34] the channel is for ubuntu support - the OS - not hardware bios settings [00:34] He is using Ubuntu. [00:34] PublicStaticVoid: yes, and can't use his bios [00:34] SO what. [00:34] so setting up bios settings is not this channels purpose [00:35] Ypu need a hobby. [00:35] you* [00:35] :) [00:35] Part of the reason this community get such a bad rap. [00:35] Channel is absolutely dead, people are helping him.. and you feel the need to but in. [00:35] PublicStaticVoid: your welcome to send him a pm and help him with his offtopic support [00:35] Seriously? [00:35] calm down now [00:36] No I am welcome to help him here. [00:36] PublicStaticVoid: no - you're not, as I've just explained the channels topic [00:36] UserError, at the boot menu, server ISO .. have a look at F5 or F6 one of then should do what you want I think. [00:36] hitsujiTMO: okay i turned off the onboard lan controller, going through the waiting up to 60 seconds for network config, and then i should reconfigure /etc/networking/interfaces?

I'm having problems getting the lights on my plug and plug ditital microscope working in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I can launch VLC and stream the microscope and sort of make out the image when I add my own light but there are two LEDs on the microscope itself and I was hoping someone could tell me where in these instructions I've located online I'm going wrong. http://oyhus.no/Microscope.html [00:41] kernel driver in use: e1000e hitsujiTMO [00:42] LvMises, there is no hardware buttons for the 2 LED? [00:42] More specifically: https://listserver.risc.jku.at/pipermail/cpia/2001-December/001139.html [00:42] Psil0Cybin: sudo modprobe e1000e [00:42] chemist^, no sir. [00:43] okay [00:43] hitsujiTMO: ran the command [00:43] Psil0Cybin: ifconfig [00:43] ifconfig just displays lo [00:44] LvMises, does it give out any error at any point? [00:44] echo bottomlight: on > /proc/cpia/video0 [00:44] bash: /proc/cpia/video0: No such file or directory [00:45] LvMises: does /proc/cpia exist? [00:45] Psil0Cybin: wipe /etc/network/interfaces then reboot [00:45] first you need to find out where is your device located [00:45] hitsujiTMO: completely remove everything even lo? [00:45] I'm slowly working on doing an online tutorial about the shell and bash so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing in nix yet. [00:45] Psil0Cybin: yup [00:45] why would /etc/network/interfaces stop the ethX device being created [00:45] where can the 12.04.4 iso be downloaded from? [00:46] chemist, I'll work on that and let you know [00:46] Really need some help with nfs. Whenever I try and copy a large(ish) file the transfer stops after about 10 seconds and just whacks the iotop right up. the export options are (rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,crossmnt) [00:46] ikonia: it wouldn't ... but his config causes a 2 min delay while it waits for the non existent network to come up [00:46] hitsujiTMO: ahhh [00:46] LvMises, have you tried using the second option on the link you provided? [00:46] UserError: does not appear to be out yet [00:47] hitsujiTMO: i restarted, and it still says wiating for network configuration.... [00:47] LvMises, use the utility made by a guy... http://sourceforge.net/projects/webcam/ [00:47] apparently it is because LXLE testing is using 12.04.4 [00:47] I downloaded that. It launched my Ubuntu Software Center [00:48] Standby. [00:48] Psil0Cybin: did anyone have you change any network related setting outside of /etc/network/interfaces ? [00:48] If anyone has any experience with TOR and Android phones please PM me :) [00:48] UserError: lxle is not ubuntu and not supported here [00:48] LvMises, i'm here [00:48] hitsujiTMO: honestly, not that i remember...all i did was add the eth0 and stuff like that..and enable it [00:48] is there a channel for ubuntu on mac? [00:48] Psil0Cybin: "add eth0" [00:48] ifconfig still only displays lo [00:48] Ben64 : It is under the ubuntu domain [00:48] Psil0Cybin: how did you add "eth0" [00:48] Where do I go for projects directly on the ubuntu domain [00:49] It tells by dependency not satisfiable: python-gtk-1.2 [00:49] ikonia: " auto eth0 [00:49] iface eth0 inet dhcp" [00:49] UserError: Feb 6 via https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-December/037909.html [00:49] Does this mean I need to launch my synaptic package manager [00:49] UserError: you'd have to see if lxle has a support channel, this channel is for canonical ubuntu releases only [00:49] Psil0Cybin: yes, but if eth0 doesn't exist why are you adding it to the file [00:49] ikonia: it did exist, yesterday [00:49] FireMedic, there was a kernel freeze in december, i'm looking for a beta or rc [00:49] its the motherboard ikonia . [00:49] LvMises, no [00:49] Psil0Cybin: what's the motherboard ? [00:50] UserError: Ah, ok [00:50] Psil0Cybin: ok http://paste.ubuntu.com/6718115/ set this as your /etc/network/interfaces [00:50] LvMises, open your terminal...go to the path where you downloaded the file... probably just cd /Downloads [00:50] LvMises, and type: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb [00:50] hitsujiTMO: someone told me to run sudo /proc/net/arp [00:50] if that maeters. [00:51] Psil0Cybin: that shouldn't [00:51] hitsujiTMO: ty let me tr [00:51] Psil0Cybin: I have to ask - what is going on here ? [00:51] Psil0Cybin: I've watched you make a mess of setting this machine up for approx 3 days [00:51] Psil0Cybin: you don't really appear to understand what you are doing and there is no clear goal/problem beyond "please set this server up for me" [00:51] hallelujah [00:52] hitsujiTMO: copied, that file inside, retarting system now give me a second [00:52] chemist^:http://pastebin.com/KDmq6zAm [00:52] ikonia: his onboard nic is a r8168 which doesn't work well with linux. he's now replaced it with a e1000e based card which should work immediately with kernel driver [00:53] hitsujiTMO: copied, t efile as specificed...restarted system [00:53] hitsujiTMO: he said it was working before [00:53] but no internet no ifconfig [00:53] LvMises, ok, you see in that output which packages are needed in order for your package to work [00:53] ifconfig just displays lo [00:53] LvMises, install them with: sudo apt-get install package [00:53] Ahhah. [00:53] ikonia: it was showing before, but refused to acuall transmit or receive data. common issue with rt8168 cards it seems [00:54] here's a good one: how do i remap the windowz-logo key to alt_L? xmodmap seems to "half work" for this task..... [00:54] i mean, it works with, say, the Z key... why not with the winlogo key? [00:54] So dpkg -i a command that tells me that which I need? Dependencies? [00:54] chemist^, LvMises: that shouldn't be necessary [00:54] ie. xev reports it as alt, but winlogo+f4 for example, doesn't close current window [00:54] For anything that is a .deb? [00:54] LvMises: cpia is included in ubuntu [00:54] hitsujiTMO: I've been watching this for days - the raid array, it's all "basic" server stuff and it just appears to be going nowhere [00:54] WinLogo is Ctrl-Esc [00:54] LvMises, no... dpkg -i installs a .deb package downloaded from the internet [00:54] How does it know where to find it? [00:54] while apt-get install installs from the ubuntu repo [00:55] I love linux. I really do. [00:55] LvMises, you pointed at it.... when you issued your command [00:55] Really need some help with nfs. Whenever I try and copy a large(ish) file the transfer stops after about 10 seconds and just whacks the iotop right up. the export options are (rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,crossmnt) [00:56] LvMises: could you pastebin the following for me? "ls /proc/cpia/; lsmod" [00:56] hitsujiTMO: maybe i need to configure the networking interface file like i did with eth0 [00:56] but for this new ? card? [00:56] Psil0Cybin: ifconfig should at least be displaying eth0 down [00:56] I'm gonna go now to smoke a big j**nt ;D be back in 5 - 15 minutes :P [00:57] I remember using that command to find out if it was recognizing my device. I think it is. [00:57] Standby: [00:57] ifconfig does not display eth0 ifconfig is just display lo now, could it be becasue we tried to blacklist something previously? or was that just the driver [00:57] hitsujiTMO: maybe worth clearing out the persistant net rules form udev [00:57] Psil0Cybin: dmesg | grep e1000e anything interesting there? [00:57] hitsujiTMO: it shouldn't make a difference [00:57] http://pastebin.com/uXrt1CBz [00:57] jaunt? [00:57] hitsujiTMO: just says its an intel pro 1000 network driver 2.1.4.k [00:57] LvMises, you can pastebinit directly from your terminal using the command like this: ls /proc/cpia/; lsmod | pastebinit [00:58] says its eth0 [00:58] LvMises, anycommand | pastebinit [00:58] Thats awesome [00:58] PCI Express25GT [00:58] yes :D [00:58] Psil0Cybin: what exactly is the ifconfig command you are running [00:58] ikonia: "ifconfig" [00:58] Psil0Cybin: so not "sudo ifconfig -a" [00:58] Psil0Cybin: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [00:59] LvMises, if you don't have pastebinit installed install it via apt-get install :) [00:59] Doing that presently. [00:59] hitsujiTMO: that command says eth0: EEROR while getting interfaces flags: no such device [01:00] sudo ifconfig a [01:00] gave eth1 [01:00] Psil0Cybin: come on !!!!!! [01:00] eth1 but still no IP address just like eth0 was displayed. [01:00] Psil0Cybin: it's eth1 because of persistant udev rules [01:00] Psil0Cybin: ifconfig doesn't show everything [01:00] Psil0Cybin: do you have reasonable linux experience ? [01:01] Sorry ikonia ! Yes with working systems! that work right off the bat, and need to be configured after the internet is working [01:01] i do! [01:01] if no internet [01:01] i am lost. [01:01] Psil0Cybin: ifconfig is a basic tool, [01:01] chemist^: http://pastebin.com/dVxS7YRY [01:01] hitsujiTMO: so i would go back to interfaces/network [01:01] and configure it for eth1 [01:01] Psil0Cybin: is this server for home user/business user [01:01] but it still does not display a ip address. [01:02] Psil0Cybin: you've not configured it !!!! why would it display an IP [01:02] test smuxi === administrator is now known as Guest25651 [01:02] Nooo, my operating system if falling apart. What does backend_helper.py The package system is broken error mean? [01:02] LvMises: see if this turns on the lights... run this when vlc is running ... "v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=lights=3" [01:02] Psil0Cybin: you understand you need to configure a card with an IP address before it will display an IP address yes/no [01:02] ikonia: okay added the right fields to network/interfaces, trying it now [01:02] Hi. I installed Ubuntu (DreamStudio Unity flavour) on my wife's Macbook (5,2). When she plugs the earphones, she hears nothing. The system identifies she's using the earphones, but.. she hears nothing. Tried with difrenet earphones, both low and high-end. In my own Macbook (2,1) with Elementary OS Luna (based on the same Ubuntu 12.04) it just works out of the box.Any idea? [01:02] yes ikonia you are correct. [01:03] Psil0Cybin: so as ikonia suggested, sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules this will bring it to eth0 [01:03] hitsujiTMO: it works [01:03] ikonia: thank you guys [01:03] Ben64: v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=lights=3 [01:03] unknown control 'lights' [01:03] i had to set up eth1 [01:04] zacarias, Have you checked the right click on the sound icons sound settings? [01:04] icon* [01:04] Psil0Cybin: i strongly suggest some sort of basic linux research [01:04] i owe ikonia and hitsujiTMO WINE but mostly hitsujiTMO !! he stuck with me by the store, and everything...you guys are amazing [01:04] ikonia: ON THAT! right now, buying a textbook or something [01:04] Psil0Cybin: get some basic background before going forward [01:04] LvMises: hmm.... how about "modprobe cpia2" and then seeing if /proc/cpia appears [01:04] ikonia: i have experience, administration stuff, not configuring systems [01:04] Psil0Cybin: you can't run a server like this where you expect people to give you every exact command and flag [01:04] Psil0Cybin: you can't have admin experience, you don't know how to display network cards [01:05] FATAL: Error inserting cpia2 (/lib/modules/3.8.0-35-generic/kernel/drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2.ko): Operation not permitted [01:05] LvMises: oh sorry, need sudo modprobe cpia2 [01:06] Really need some help with nfs. Whenever I try and copy a large(ish) file the transfer stops after about 10 seconds and just whacks the iotop right up. the export options are ((rw,nohide,no_subtree_check,crossmnt,fsid=0,insecure,async). It seems like it get to about 700mb and then dies [01:06] Ben64, it did nothing. [01:06] ikonia: you may be correct ikonia but i am a 23 year old dude that knew nothing about linux a year ago, and fully switched from windows.and learned everything by dealing with it first hand. [01:06] Im at a new cmd line [01:06] LvMises: nothing is what you want from the modprobe command. now you check to see if /proc/cpia exists [01:06] Psil0Cybin: but you don't know the basics === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [01:06] ikonia: so where can I learn, if I am teaching my self everything from scratch.. [01:06] Psil0Cybin: so I don't so "learned everything" when you can't run the basics of a box [01:07] By typing modprobe again? [01:07] or navigating to the directory? [01:07] ikonia: I suppose you are right, if i could not configure this...so how could I start learning more in depth like you guys know? [01:07] LvMises: no, "ls /proc/cpia" or however you'd like to check for the directory's existence [01:07] ck === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [01:07] ls: cannot access /proc/cpia: No such file or directory [01:07] Psil0Cybin: actually researching problems rather than ask "what is the commands and flags I need" [01:08] ikonia: but alot of research leads to outdated solutions, that people on IRC suggest to stay away from. [01:08] LvMises: then sorry, i'm not sure where to go from here [01:08] Psil0Cybin: then your research is poor/bad [01:08] Thanks anyways man. [01:08] This stinks. [01:09] I really want to stay with linux but Eve Online and my microscope wont work. This makes me a sad panda. [01:09] LvMises: from what i can see online the directory should exist and the "cat blah blah > /proc/cpia/video0" should turn the lights on [01:09] Waaaait. [01:09] LvMises: eve online however should work fine [01:09] Standby. [01:09] I drank a wine bottle after messing with trying to make wine bottles for eve to work in wine all night. [01:10] ikonia: do you recommend, i buy an ubuntu textbook? [01:10] anyone familiar with 'calc' program? [01:10] ikonia, This user does not seem to reason through some basic issue, not even following the bots auto warnings. They have as you said been on the channel for three days, I doubt any reasoning is going to change them, it does not seem to be part of their congnitive development or vocabulary. And we have others continuing to enable this, take them off please. ;) [01:10] Psil0Cybin: not really no, there are solid documentation for ubuntu and linux in general on the web [01:11] Beldar: I can see your point [01:11] I have some statements in my CALCRC but unfortunately every time it starts up it prints useless output for those statements in my rc file. How to block that output? [01:11] ikonia: okay thank you, can you give me a topic that I should focus on at the moment...as you can see the issues I have been facing? How can I advance my linux knowledge, and stop being a paracite of knowledge on this channel. [01:11] because no joke if it wasnt for hitsujiTMO I would have been in the dark ages, I owe this guy a very expensive botle of wine [01:11] :) [01:12] Psil0Cybin: there is no "topic" research the things you need to do BEFORE doing them [01:12] Psil0Cybin: pay attention to the information that's been giving to you [01:12] pay attention to what you read [01:12] Psil0Cybin: it's basic common sense stuff [01:12] ikonia: okay thank you guys, for putting up with me. ikonia thank you, you are right. [01:12] Psil0Cybin, did you get that server sorted out? [01:15] hello, how difficult it is to download, install and run VMware on Ubuntu ? [01:15] LvMises, eve online sucks your life force ;) [01:16] entreri: it's very simple; google "vmware ubuntu downlad" [01:16] been what? 3 years now since I quit eve and got rid of windows and I still have dreams about the bloody game sometimes... === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [01:17] bijoo_: it gives me the ubuntu wiki, and it seems a lot complicated, it's a long text of commands, etc... [01:17] would it run out-of-the-box ? [01:17] don't have time for that with the wife and kid, let alone if I want time to improve ubuntu, hehe... [01:17] I'm looking for someone with experience running VMware on Ubuntu [01:18] !vmware | entreri [01:18] entreri: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [01:18] buenas [01:18] entreri: Okay, I don't know what is so complicated about searching Google; but here it is after 10 seconds: go to Software Central and search for VMware [01:19] ubottu: I can see teh VMWare View Open Client in Software Central [01:19] bijoo_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:19] entreri: I can see teh VMWare View Open Client in Software Central [01:19] read what ubottu said, vmware is not available in the ubuntu repositories. virtualbox is [01:20] Ben64: how come it shows up in Software Central then? [01:20] i don't know what software central is [01:20] Software Center* [01:21] entreri: vmware doesn't run in ubuntu as it is a company and not software. what vmware product are you specifically on about? [01:21] hitsujiTMO: not sure, the Virtualbox alike I guess ? [01:21] the main product for consumers [01:22] entreri: so eith vmware player or workstation? [01:22] entreri: you mean to run a virtual machine [01:22] hitsujiTMO: that's right [01:23] bijoo_: yeah, for my college class... problem is I'm not on Ubuntu right now, I won't install Ubuntu is VMware is not available or if it's a pain in the *ss [01:23] if* [01:23] entreri: so did you search for vmware there yet? Check in "Ubuntu Software Center" then [01:23] nobody has any idea what's the problem with my NFS transfers? at the moment the rsync process I had to kill is stopping me from unmounting the nfs share, and the only thing I can do when it does this is hard power off. Any help? [01:24] entreri: plus as people have said, you can use VirtualBox to open VMWare virtual machines as well. Definitely not a pain and worth it. [01:24] bijoo_: my college class requires VMware : S [01:24] entreri: both work well. there can be issues with some of the kernel modules that they provide as they tend to not work with kernels > 3.2 without patching. (this is the case with esxi's client tools at least). but they are not needed for the basic operations [01:25] entreri: hitsujiTMO obviously knows more about this than I do, but if it's for general use, then yea, it's simple and very straightforward. [01:26] entreri: and you can run VirtualBox and the VMWare Open View Client with 1 click in Ubuntu through the out-of-the-box Software Center. [01:26] entreri: it should suffice for a college homework ;) [01:26] bijoo_: ok I'll take a look, thanks [01:27] well it's funny, they're teaching Linux but they require Windows and VMware to run Linux networking OS inside... omg [01:27] entreri: sure, I've been using Ubuntu for a few years now and haven't look back; I switch from Windows 95~7, then Mac 10.x, and finally Ubuntu [01:29] entreri: it's impressive how much better this is; === dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar [01:29] entreri: that is very backwards; but their IT department probably is hook on Windows for now. [01:29] entreri: nothing in their power to do, so yea. [01:29] entreri: what exactly are the reasoning for requiring vmware? are they proving you with images, or is it, just because its what they use? [01:30] entreri: and they're probably expecting most students are Windows users; [01:30] why is ubuntu full of amazon adware? [01:31] also why cant you move the unity bar [01:31] !ot | richardstallman [01:31] richardstallman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:31] richardstallman: if you're really Mr. Stallman, I agree with you 100% percent, but like the fact that you can turn thouse off. [01:31] entreri, they *require* it or support it as an option for those who don't actually want to install Linux and dual boot? [01:31] ubuntu doesn't respect the user's freedoms [01:32] that reminds me... how do you turn that crap off again? I'm getting sick of searches taking forever while it hits 547 web links when I'm just trying to search for an app to open [01:32] !adlens | psusi [01:32] psusi: If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ [01:32] richardstallman: no software is perfect, but seems they try. [01:32] xangua, thanks [01:32] richardstallman: if you want to discuss such things, try #ubuntu-offtopic. but this is a support channel [01:33] xangua, hrm... strange... I don't have that package installed [01:33] give me some support on how to remove this proprietary non-free shit [01:33] !language | richardstallman [01:33] richardstallman: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:34] shuttleworth has probably already sold my personal info to the NSA by now [01:34] richardstallman: obviously, you're impersonating. As I don't think he's in rochester, right? === matuka is now known as matuka` [01:34] hitsujiTMO: I have one networking class and one Linux class... the networking class the teacher is a Windows sold-out and he wants to do the networking stuff in VMware... I don't get it since we need to register an account with VMware, etc... The Linux class I just can't follow the class because the teacher explains everything from a Windows perspective, leaving me on my own : ( [01:35] RMS would not come on IRC and troll... he would send a gnupg signed email... === LarrySteeze|Away is now known as LarrySteeze [01:36] So I'm thinking about buying a used netbook so I can follow what other people do [01:36] entreri: in that case, virtualbox should be just as good as vmware player, if not better. but if needed, you can always install it along side [01:37] so far the Linux class is easy since I'm a Linux user, but soon the Linux teacher wants the students to install Linux in a VM in VMware... lol, so if I want to follow the group, I will need to do that too [01:38] entreri: virtualization on a 64bit platform requires intel vt-x (or amd equiv) for best performance. Most netbooks will not come with a capable processor. If you'r purchasing a system, please ensure the processor supports the feature first [01:39] entreri: fun stuff, I never got to install that. It's so easy to install Ubuntu; now building it from scratch is another... [01:40] hitsujiTMO: what about 32-bit ? [01:40] most netbooks are 32-bit [01:40] first gens [01:41] entreri, same thing... for virtualization that has good performance, you need vt-x [01:41] entreri: no, they're 64bit capable cpus. just run 32bit os. they "can" run 32bit guests, but the experience can be diminished compared to a vt-x capable system. [01:42] hitsujiTMO, actually there seem to be a number of netbooks coming out that use intel Atom cpus that are only 32 bit capable [01:42] a 64bit host can also run 32bit guests without vt-x. === Mars is now known as Guest90829 [01:42] hitsujiTMO, not if you don't want it to be slow as heck [01:42] psusi: atom going back to 32bit only? whaaaa? [01:43] I'm having trouble resuming from sleep on ubuntu 13.10. nvidia driver. googled and tried everything. no change. monitor just doesn't wake (computer does). any ideas to check next? [01:43] Atom always has been 32 bit only AFAIK [01:43] psusi: i think i pointed that out earlier [01:43] psusi: no. only early ones. they just only officially provide 32bit support === map is now known as Guest91954 [01:44] hitsujiTMO, ahh, thought you were saying that 32 bit guest on 64 bit host didn't need the extensions to run full speed [01:45] hitsujiTMO, I thought that they were always 32 bit only... but it seems that a number of devices are now using them and are UEFI only, which is a problem for Ubuntu since it doesn't support UEFI on 32 bit systems [01:46] psusi: http://ark.intel.com/products/59683/Intel-Atom-Processor-D2700-1M-Cache-2_13-GHz ones like this are 64bit, but they only provide 32bit drivers === Momo|Off is now known as MomoNasty === dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar_away === Guest91954 is now known as mapps === icehacker is now known as donaldduck === maxmatteo2014 is now known as highgain [02:02] hi I have an eeepc and ubuntu 12.04.3 live usb [02:02] I am getting udevd time out killing [02:02] 20:45 < MaynardW1ters> '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdd1' [02:03] any suggestions how to debug? [02:04] maybe I can help you [02:05] Hi, Does anybody know how can I change the current sent print job's pritner? I want to change it from a real printer to 'print to a file' [02:06] @mojtaba thinking of switching from hardware printer to a software pdf-printer? [02:06] donaldduck: Yes [02:06] mojtaba: I don't think you can do that. But how about cancel that, and re-print the file? [02:06] donaldduck: I just would like to change the printer of the current job [02:07] Stanley00: the problem is that, the website do not give me the option to print to a file. [02:07] @mojtaba you have to give more details [02:07] Stanley00: It is a flash like book [02:07] donaldduck: What do you want to know? [02:08] mojtaba, Here is a thread that might give you what you need, personally I just choose that option when needed. http://askubuntu.com/questions/118862/how-can-i-set-print-to-file-as-my-default-printing-option [02:08] mojtaba: that's strange, I did that before. Can you give me the url? [02:09] well a few things. trying from xpdf locally, web etc. [02:09] Stanley00: I really would like to give you that. but the problem is that it just needed the university subscription or could be done in the University network. [02:09] you can also manage a few things from localhosy === AntiSpamMeta2 is now known as AntiSpamMeta [02:11] mojtaba: OK :) [02:11] tried http://localhost:631/ [02:11] ?

I used them with success on 12.04 but haven't got them to work on 13.10. In trying to get them to work, I tried various methods to fix the problem. I tried install gutenprint drivers, and then uninstalled them and started getting errors. === 77CAA0A27 is now known as Chaser [02:18] MrJerome, Ah, have you tried the printers gui and seen if they are in the ubuntu repos? [02:18] ubuntu dhcp server is there a way to block a unit if it static? [02:18] I can't remember them exactly but one had to do with man-db and I don't know I'll try to get them up. I'd like to figure out how to get everything back to original and then retry [02:19] Yes I've been through the printers gui several times, as well as the Cups localhost web-thingy [02:19] MrJerome, What form is the download in a tar or what? [02:20] it's deb I'm going to try uninstalling those packages I haven't done that yet [02:21] MrJerome, Try using gdebi, it will tell you if any dependencies are missing, gdebi needs a install is all. [02:21] @nashant if you mean NFS-server then yes [02:21] I would think dpkg would to [02:22] donaldduck, Tab complete nicks or type them @ is ot used here to notify the user [02:22] not* [02:22] Beldar: Ok. Is it also possible that if certain services are running and I try uninstalling them that it could cause problems? I'm pretty new to linux [02:24] is there a dhcp server which block if it use fixed ip [02:24] ? [02:24] Beldar: I got the drivers installed fine, I think I screwed something else up. Also Even after everything seems to be installed ok after I send a job to the printer it looks successful but nothing happens on the printer [02:24] MrJerome, Hmm, my guess is they have to be stopped or will be at some point of you are removing, are you sure what you bare removing is the answer or just a theory. [02:24] are* [02:25] Beldar: I know how to uninstall the brother drivers themselves, but not so sure on the gutenprint stuff [02:26] @Beldar I know that already but thanks. I'm very tiered here and I might miss/misstype a few letter here and there [02:26] Beldar: I have to crash files... cups and man-db === dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar_away === me is now known as Guest89288 [02:27] donaldduck, really so you are going to disregard the way the channel runs for your own needs. [02:27] Beldar: *two === Bryan is now known as MrUnagi [02:28] MrJerome, Have you done a reboot since setting this up to see if this clears itself up? [02:28] anyone have a solution for remote wiping a ubuntu box......maybe a distro that i can pre set a static ip address so when it is done i can still access it? [02:28] Beldar: I'll reboot now and try to come back with more details [02:29] MrUnagi: you can also boot a live cd [02:29] @Beldar I'm not sure what you mean exactly [02:29] remotely? [02:30] then set static ip on the live cd [02:30] then you can do remote wiping of hard drive\ [02:30] i just started having a weird issue, every time i reboot unity resets, like the desktop background, things locked to the launcher are back to their defaults... mouse behavior is defaulted and won't change now. [02:31] I recently was installing things like glib, GTK+ and babl from source files, that was the last thing i did. [02:31] @sakter12 what ubuntu are you running? 32 or 64-bit kernel? [02:31] donaldduck: most irc clients will change the color of the text when a users nick is mentioned at the start or within the sentence. When you add an @ in front it breaks that highlighting and the user you are trying to address doesn't see it. right now it is a little slow but when it gets busy in here it is difficult to keep up with the traffic. [02:32] donaldduck, ubuntu 12.04 64-bit [02:33] @IdleOne yeah I know. Trying to keep up though :) [02:33] @sakter12 PM instead? [02:33] donaldduck: So, it is best to just get in the habit of doing it the "irc" way and not be a huge dipstick about it. [02:33] a diehard blockhead wonderful [02:34] Beldar: that wasn't helpful [02:34] sorry, my bad [02:35] I tried b=nicely explaining seems like an accurate description [02:35] nicely* [02:36] donaldduck, ok [02:36] @IdleOne well I'm not sure where you're getting at all. My english is not my primary language and therefore I'm having some trouble following along [02:36] I'm trying to copy about 150GB from one hard drive to another, it is taking a really long time (like 8 hours or more). Is there a way to figure out why it is taking so long? I would have thought with both drives being 6GB/s SATA drives, it would be much faster.... [02:37] shreezbot, how are you copying? [02:37] donaldduck: it translates to: drop the @ :) [02:37] @sakter12 drop me a PM. I've had the same issue as you. Can explain via pm [02:37] shreezbot, These both internals? [02:38] Beldar, I'm just using 'mv' to move the data. Yes, they are both internal SATA drives. [02:39] glitsj16, you mean I should drop the @ before nickname? [02:39] donaldduck: correct [02:40] I'm not used to this client at all. It has graphics!! I prefer just text-based applications. Used to run irssi [02:41] donaldduck, did i send a pm or did i do it wrong.. isn't it /msg un message? [02:41] donaldduck: that's what people were trying to point out, now you've got that things are back to normal, no worries [02:41] donaldduck, do i have to re-install compiz? [02:41] shreezbot, Not sure on checking you might run man mv [02:42] !pm [02:42] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[02:59] there are a ton of different compaints over the years. i cant find one fitting my issue. [02:59] eschneid, Additionally has it been suspending? [02:59] pm_suspend doesnt even work [02:59] dont see anything unusual in the logs [02:59] Hello [03:00] was hoping others have seen it due to an upgrade [03:00] eschneid, I use the menu for mine does yours have a suspend? [03:00] that doesnt work either. same effect as suspend [03:00] as pm_susend [03:01] might just log a bug [03:02] I'm still having my issue with grub not being the default boot manager could someone PLEASE help me resolve this? [03:02] eschneid, That command here says "No command 'pm_suspend' found, did you mean:Command 'pm-suspend' from package 'pm-utils' (main)pm_suspend: command not found" however the menu shut down suspend works. [03:03] ah, yes. pm-suspend...sorry [03:03] Jeffry, What is defaulting and is this a uefi? [03:03] eschneid, That is what I tried [03:04] yes its uefi and it just boots into widows skiping grub [03:05] Jeffry, Have you tried the bootrepair app?

Just thinking about install everything again drives me crazy.. [03:21] Physicist: and your question is...? [03:23] If I upgrade my system to 13.10, I will have to reinstall all programs, codecs, etc? [03:23] Physicist, You can make a app list and just run it on installs with and extra repos and keys added before run. [03:23] hello [03:23] Physicist 13.10 is a downgrade, buggy.......keep 12.04 or 12.04........I wish I had never deleted my 13.04!!!!! [03:23] Physicist, Once installed that is. [03:24] ROPA, Not here and that is a biased opinion. [03:24] Physicist: if you upgrade, they should all be fine unless you have any manually installed packages in there, and PPAs can be problematic. If you wipe and reinstall, then you need an applist to reinstall. [03:25] I'm running 13.04. I read today about the end of the cycle. [03:25] Beldar it's very biased, but not untrue or exaggerated........is dissension allowed here??? [03:25] ROPA, Proper support is. [03:26] ROPA, dissension is welcomed in #ubuntu-offtopic though [03:27] Fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit server on inspiron 1525 laptop. -- eth0 doesn't appear with an IP unless I type these commands. sudo modprobe e100 && sudo ifconfig eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0 -- [03:27] I don't understand why the OS doesn't detect/config the card on boot. [03:27] Beldar OK, I shall endeavor to make recommendations, not negative comments...........ty Beldar. [03:28] jcabb: do u see your card in lspci ? [03:28] I want to try xbva driver and I've got already the catalyst 13.12, newest, installed. Will it be replaced? [03:28] Physicist, I been doing this long enough, that I find fresh installs the quickest way, but I do not do any extras that cannot be done beyond a app list being run. [03:29] yes, 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 12) [03:29] packetscaper, it does work... after I type the command above. Just when I reboot I need to re-enter that [03:29] ROPA, It happens, running a OS can be frustrating. ;) [03:30] jcabb: there is a file that you can add to to have stuff modprobed by default [03:30] Beldar: I will continuing using kwheezy rather. I will, sadly, forget ubuntu when the cycle get over... [03:30] ChogyDan, im over my head with your question. :/ [03:30] hola [03:30] Physicist I'd suggest trying the prerelease version of 14.04 LTS or running 13.04 until something else is available. I am very seriously considering trying 14.04. [03:30] español [03:30] guys I m having trouble installing Vmware workstation 8.0.4 even after running the patch [03:30] packetscaper & ChogyDan , could I not manually change my /etc/networking/interfaces to what i want it to do? [03:31] jcabb: I think you can add e100 to /etc/modules and then it will be set up automatically [03:31] ChogyDan, so just vi that file and add e100 at the end? [03:31] Beldar: About the driver, does it will be replaced if I install xvba from repositories? [03:31] jcabb: correct. [03:32] Physicist, I don't know. [03:32] ROPA: I will consider too. [03:32] Beldar yes, frustrating.....but I've learned so much about ubuntu technical issues lately, and frustration should decrease as knowledge ramps up. [03:32] Physicist: ROPA 14.04 is only just in alpha and not recommended for any production usae. Discussions in #ubuntu+1 [03:33] somsip: SOON [03:33] jcabb: and then in theory, you won't need to run those DHCP commands, since the card will setup at boot, and the various network things will actually work automatically [03:33] ChogyDan, i rebooted and this time ipconfig sees eth0... still no IP. prolly because dhcp isn't being called [03:33] oh [03:33] somsip: Not now.. [03:33] ChogyDan, nope. i got no IP :) [03:33] im getting closer tho [03:34] I will wait. [03:34] ChogyDan, im ok with adding sudo dhclient eth0 to an init script. where would i add that? [03:34] somsip I can't comment regarding the usefulness of 13.10....but 14.04 alpha might be a step upwards............ty for info about ubuntu+1. [03:35] Is anybody using xvba driver? [03:35] jcabb: sorry, not my thing [03:36] ChogyDan, no prob. I might just assign static IP anyway.. thx for the other help tho [03:36] np [03:37] I'm installing xvba driver as well. [03:37] jcabb: try and run sudo dhclient eth0 [03:38] Is there a channel for libunity dev support?

[03:48] but never from headphones? [03:48] zacarias: You should change the device in the sound menu. Example: Speaker - headphone. Or increasing the volume in the another card #2 using alsamixer.

[04:05] yes [04:05] irated: try sudo sh -c "echo 'manual' > /etc/init/SERVICE.override" (SERVICE being the name of the service as it appears in /etc/init) [04:06] awesome [04:06] thanks [04:06] luckyuser, as far as canonical releases, that is what's supprted here. [04:06] irated: no trouble, if you decide to go back to autostart, remove the override file [04:06] ok beldar im in my bios [04:06] munz: on the jack socket yes, not on the jack itself [04:06] im new to linux [04:06] where do i go to do this [04:06] i figured as much [04:07] i did an accidental rm -rf * blah* [04:07] when i ment [04:07] rm -rf *blah* [04:07] so rebuild my system [04:07] Classic reason to backup files people [04:07] :) lesson learned i guess [04:07] I did this once 10 years ago [04:07] wolfzrat, Just toggle till you get to the HD's listed and follow the instructions to move the HD's up or down on the list, the highest is the one called for boot. [04:07] when i was 15 [04:08] well look at this, i see HDD boot sequence and boot sequence [04:08] in HDD boot sequence i see this [04:08] zacarias: check this http://askubuntu.com/questions/44608/no-sound-out-of-macbook-speakers-red-led-in-headphone-jack [04:09] i dont have the issue im 13.10 on a 5.5 [04:09] but it looks like what you have [04:09] 1.

[04:11] luckyuser, This is ubuntu support I answered you on the lightest of canonical and the option of a net install. Ubuntu based is not a channel option. [04:11] Hey guys, i've got a question. I've got two of the same computer, one which runs ubuntu perfectly the other which the graphics are slowmo.

Is there something else you want? [04:22] guys have u faced any such problems: screen goes into black.. with some random memory messages.. and at last u get msg. like "kernel panic: not syncing : fatal exception in Interrupt" [04:22] poleslav: that's because the file needs to be made, it isn't there by default .. try to save as .. point it to the correct location (/etc/X11) and name it 'xorg.conf' === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:25] poleslav: just to double-check, you did do step 3 and installed xserver-xorg-video-intel yes? [04:25] yes [04:25] its weird because it says that a file named xorg.conf already exists [04:25] and then when i press replace it says that it cant find the file [04:25] belgar yea this is correct but i dont want the grub menu i want the windows one [04:26] poleslav: okay, lets pastebin the output of "ls -lh /etc/X11" on paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url if you please, we need to make sure about this [04:27] i'm looking for a good linux distro for netbooks [04:28] ubuntu [04:28] luckyuser, Here is a list of ubuntu based releases, you will have to do the research on which fits your needs, just consider support relevancy is all. http://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Ubuntu [04:28] expect a different answer? lol [04:28] luckyuser: you are in a ubuntu support channel, so the recommendation here will be ubuntu or one of the supported derivatives [04:28] yea ubuntu is what I have on my netbook [04:28] works great I love it [04:28] luckyuser: if it is an older netbook, try xubuntu or lubuntu [04:29] !flavors | luckyuser [04:29] luckyuser: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity.

[05:02] As far as i know they both have the same hardware but im not 100% sure, they were both old laptops from my brother-in-laws work he gave to me, same model so i figured theyd be the same [05:02] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller (rev 09) [05:02] my graphics perofrms really badly [05:02] So what would be the best course of action to get the graphics on the second computer to run how they should? [05:03] poleslav: looks like the one you are one has Intel GPU, the other one NVIDIA, so you need to look at installing the nvidia driver on that one [05:03] i have the same problem [05:04] poleslav: first, nuke the edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf on that other machine [05:04] sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:04] ok, done [05:04] i get lots of graphical glitches on my machine (horizontal lines) occasinally slow rendering.. but it looks like i've got the correct driver? any idea what i can do? [05:06] poleslav: in you pastes i saw that you have the x-swat PPA active, so you could go for the latest nvidia driver available by running sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 .. that can take a few minutes as it will be building the driver .. ping me if that's finished === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [05:10] <__raven> 13.10 64 on asus eeepc 1225c with intel atom n2600: extremely bad video performance with hd AND non hd videos. am i missing something/how to find out?

[05:29] uefi wiki that is [05:31] TeslaTony, With windows in general you don't want to move the front of the OS partition, funny thing is your the first dualbooter to ask this question in a W8 dualboot [05:33] Hello, my friend affected by a problem of "ImportError: /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2: undefined symbol: sqlite3_prepare16_v2" after he installed Eric.

His complete question is in here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/402613/after-installing-eric-cant-open-ubuntu-software-center-and-get-error-undefin. Now he can't open his USC. Any suggestion? Thank you. [05:35] Malsasa, That shows running in root, and gnome 2? What release is this? [05:36] Beldar: thank you, Sir. But he didn't specify his release yet. Any suggestion for technical issue with the error message? I am sorry. === dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar [05:37] Malsasa, Not really, just that gnome 2 is not running on any supported ubuntu release, they should be here really for help. [05:38] Malsasa, Nor should that command be run in root to open the software-center [05:38] Beldar: hm, thank you. It is new information for me. Any clue sir, for the error message? Pointless here, I have google this but no specific answer for the error. [05:39] Beldar: After exhausting my google-fu, I'm coming to that conclusion. My setup seems to be a 1gb system partition, C drive, system restore D drive, and another system partition. Oh well...I guess I get to play guinea pig! muahahaha [05:39] Beldar: Thanks for the help [05:40] Malsasa, Not being run in the correct environment makes it a moot point really. All the info is a bit off being in root and the mention of gnome 2. [05:41] Beldar: okay, thank you, Sir. [05:42] Beldar: sir, he said: Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) 32 Bit. Any suggestion, Sir? [05:43] TeslaTony, No problem, good luck. [05:43] Malsasa, upgrade to 12.04. 10.04 is not supported any more on the desktop [05:43] kostkon: thank you, Sir. But is there no trick at all? Just a fix for the error message? [05:44] Malsasa, What happens if they run the command not in root? [05:47] Beldar: sorry for long time, Sir. It seems the same error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6719019/ [05:47] Is the LiveCD properly configured to be ssh'ed into?

[05:49] ugh, well, my problem is fixed but it caused another problem lol. Is there a way to open the display settings without having the top or left bars? i can open the terminal [05:50] well, actually scratch that guess thats not the problem, my screen is really zoomed in to the point where i cant see the dock on the left nor the bar to the top, and the mouse is a bit bigger, any way to fix this? [05:51] Malsasa, Not sure to be honest. Problem here is that 10.04 is not supported here nor does it even have access to the ubuntu repos. Seeing that command run in root has me wondering if this has been done regularly how much permissions might be broken. I would tell them to install 12.04 at the least, and do not run in root use sudo in the correct place. [05:51] poleslav: sounds like a graphic driver issue [05:52] yeah i installed a new one as glitsj16 instructed me to to solve my other issue (everything was basically in slow motion) [05:52] Beldar: thank you, Sir. I understand. I will give our chat to him. [05:52] ha [05:52] poleslav: check your xorg.conf [05:52] Malsasa, Cool, hope you get it worked out. [05:52] but glits is away right now so yeah lol. How do i do that without being able to click around? [05:53] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:53] Beldar: thank you, Sir. [05:53] btw, are you using nvidia? [05:54] yeah i am [05:54] as expected..:D [05:54] "cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: no such file or directory" [05:54] do this: sudo nvidia-xconfig [05:55] after that reboot, and you should have a happy desktop [05:56] still really zoomed in lol [05:57] "could not apply the stored configuration for monitors, none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes:" [05:58] and then it says trying modes for CRTC 83 and has a list of CRTC 83 trying mode with a bunch of resolutions and Hzs and oututs, as well as (pass 0) or (pass 1) at the end [05:59] choose the resolution and refresh rate that suits your monitor :D [05:59] not sure which that would be [05:59] or you can edit xorg.conf manually [05:59] or how to do that :P [05:59] :( [05:59] im pretty new, especially when it comes to ubuntu [06:00] I'm thinking..dual monitor?

[06:04] yeah, you should use /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you really need one [06:04] most computers will not need one [06:05] my laptop uses a nvidia card...doesn't function well withought one [06:05] Ben64: for hacks and custom settings for wacom and synaptic?

[07:17] pastebin [07:17] somsip: it isn't necessary to have the experience of Xen, I just want to know how to modify GRUB2 menu. [07:18] i did and i didnt do anything [07:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6719260/ this is my log [07:18] code [07:18] shapow: pulseaudio defaults to a per-user setup these days, so you need to add it to ~/.pulse/default.pa [07:18] send me the code [07:18] MarkDavies: and it depends on what you want to remove. If it was old kernels, remove them and update grub. If it's another OS, remove it and update grub. Hence my question 'what do you want to remove' [07:18] MarchJoinsToss: do you have a support question? [07:18] No, I mean like upgrade from 10.10 to 13.10 [07:19] march are you talking to me? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [07:19] send me the code for pastebin simple http server [07:19] somsip: first, I can't do it, but regardless of that, I want to delete *entries*, not real kernels. === akshay_ is now known as akshay_r [07:19] !pastebin | MarchJoinsToss [07:19] MarchJoinsToss: 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. [07:19] MarkDavies: I'm not sure what you mean then. I'll leave it to someone else. [07:20] send the code [07:20] shapow: and you don't need a reboot after doing the edit, pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D should restart it [07:20] MarkDavies: unless this will help you 'info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'' [07:21] i typed it in and nothing happened [07:21] joshs: and that earlier paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/6719269/ was the full file was it? [07:21] march if you talking to me just click the link i posted [07:21] i believe so [07:21] Backgammon, how to do that ? [07:21] what is -| [07:21] ? [07:21] Damn. Why did they do it so difficult? [07:22] wh-hw: see http://lawrit.lawr.ucdavis.edu/it-help-center/how-to/upgrading-ubuntu-via-command-line [07:22] glitsj16: thanks for the tip [07:22] joshs: just seen it at line 4. edit the file again and put a # on line 4 [07:22] ok i'll try [07:22] anew: it's usually called 'pipe' [07:22] what does pipe do ? [07:22] hello [07:22] anew: sends the output of one command to another, eg: ls -la | less [07:22] anew: feeds whatever is before it as stdin to whatever's after it [07:23] Backgammon, this update 10.10 to 11.04 or 13.10? [07:23] uh [07:23] glitsj16: no chance to reason with global default.pa? whats the limitation? if you know / it is known? [07:23] Seems like I should disable grub-mkconfig, but then the system will not be able to do automatic updates after I download the security downloads that replace or modify the kernel. [07:23] I presume 13.10 [07:23] somsip: will do-release-upgrade upgrade to latest available version? [07:24] MarkDavies: seems messy, but I suppose it makes sense [07:24] Backgammon: why me???? :) Just looking... [07:25] I'm not too familiar with things specific to Ubuntu rather than to Linux, but you look pretty experienced? [07:25] wh-hw: Backgammon: looks like you have to reinstall from 12.04 http://askubuntu.com/questions/227803/how-to-ubuntu-upgrade-from-10-10-to-12-10-32-bit [07:25] Backgammon: I'll pick up answers I can...if I can === nat31 is now known as nat3 [07:25] Oh, huh, no upgrade without reinstall from non-LTS? [07:26] i hope i got it [07:26] interesting [07:26] Backgammon: first result I found, not many upvotes. Maybe more research is required by the OP [07:26] Yeah, you probably just want to get the latest installer and reinstall [07:26] joshs: and will it update now? [07:27] shapow: it all depends on how your pulseaudio is configured (and the syntax needs to be correct ofcourse) .. check what's in /etc/init/pulseaudio.conf, that has it all explained [07:27] wh-hw: this might help you too given you only want to reinstall one driver http://is.gd/8iFd5z [07:27] glitsj16: pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D caused a crash and didn't want to restart. adding local ~/.pulse/default.pa (with only set-default-sink) caused no sound cards to be detected. [07:27] it says it was last updated 8 days ago but doesnt list any to install [07:28] joshs: what says that? did you 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'? [07:28] is ufw + fail2ban the best way to block hosts after repeat attempts or is there something built into ufw? [07:28] update manager says that [07:28] MedicalJaneParis: f2b merely triggers ufw IIRC [07:28] I dont think anyone can help can they? [07:29] joshs: try the line I just posted, in a terminal. It might give you more error info it there is any [07:29] glitsj16: basically have an HDMI audio output and a stereo duplex on the same card. wanting to tell the HDMI audio output to take a hike and disappear. [07:29] shapow: okay, first thing to check: is your pulseaudio configured per-user ? that should be easy enough to tell by looking at the /etc/init/pulseaudio.conf .. paste it if you're not sure [07:30] command not found [07:30] joshs: 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' [07:31] shapow: if you see something like "#start on runlevel [2345]" in the beginning of /etc/init/pulseaudio.conf that means it is per-user [07:31] http://p.pomf.se/2431 [07:31] aha [07:32] www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /var/www [07:32] again command not found [07:32] glitsj16: [016] [07:32] do i have to specify a file for this? [07:32] in sudoeers [07:32] or can i just specify the dir ? [07:32] glitsj16: woops, sorry thats stop :) [07:32] anew: NOOOO!!!! What are you really wanting to do? [07:32] glitsj16: see the paste http://p.pomf.se/2431 [07:32] yes i have to do this [07:32] shapow: indeed, so confirming that pulseaudio is configured per-user, which is what you want [07:32] is this correct or do i need to specify a dir [07:33] >http://pomf.se/ [07:33] three obscure memes crammed into one homepage [07:33] impressive [07:33] joshs: without the quotes? sudo apt-get update (let it finish) then sudo apt-get upgrade [07:33] anew: putting www-data in sudoers does not seem to be a correct thing to do at all. What are you trying to achieve? [07:34] glitsj16: its commented out, is it still per-user? [07:34] please just answer if the syntax is correct ! [07:34] anew: you really don't want to do that, correct or not [07:34] ... [07:34] is the syntax correct [07:34] that's all i want to know [07:34] that aside visudo will not let you save if the syntax is incorrect so if it saved it is correct [07:35] shapow: now you need to make sure you have a fully configured ~/.pulse/default.pa .. which is more than the oneliner about the default sink you mentioned before, you can copy the content from /etc/pulse/default.pa as an example [07:35] you did use visudo right [07:35] no i did not [07:35] what is visudo [07:35] holy fuck what are you doing [07:35] watch the language please Backgammon [07:35] shapow: the start stanza is commented out yes, meaning pulseaudio will not start at those runlevels [07:35] anew: if you dont know to use visudo, you should also question if you know what you are doing putting www-data in sudoers. Last strong hint from me [07:35] and it would really help if you'd explain your goals anew [07:35] did you just sudo vi /etc/sudoers [07:35] !language | Backgammon (you should know better) [07:35] Backgammon (you should know better): Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [07:36] glitsj16, thanks for dropping a note, appreciated, no rush [07:36] glitsj16: the idea is to have a system-wide change [07:36] Oh, it is the official support channel. [07:36] My bad. [07:36] the line is in the file... so i must have edited it properly ... [07:36] hipitihop_: hi mate :) no trouble, i'll drop by in a few [07:37] anew: please explain what it is you're trying to accomplish [07:37] shapow: okay, so you can edit the default.pa file in /etc/pulse to add the sink [07:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6719390/ [07:37] no drama, I have no more details or expriments beyond what I have noted on answers/bug [07:37] glitsj16: been doing that lately to no avail === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:38] somsip, Backgammon : thanks , i will have a try [07:38] joshs: ok - edit it again and comment out lines 38 and 39 [07:38] shapow: do you still have a default.pa in your ~/.pulse ? if so move that out of the way [07:39] how do i comment out? [07:39] joshs: both of those refer to maverick-backports, just so you know which ones to do [07:39] hipitihop_: yeah i took a quick peek on the bug, i'll explain later 'as it is rather off-topic) [07:39] auth.log is 0b so i guess it www-data is not running as sudo [07:39] joshs: add a # to the beginning. Using gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [07:40] anew: please explain what it is you're trying to accomplish [07:40] glitsj16: its out, would starting pulse in system mode allow me to set the default sink? strange because that global default.pa file gets parsed say if i add module-loopback to load. its only setting the default sink that is giving trouble [07:40] i am trying to allow www-data to run as sudo [07:40] anew: to allow PHP scrips to run commands that need root access? [07:40] should i change www-date to apache in apache ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /var/www [07:41] anew: thats not a goal, thats a bad idea [07:41] thats my goal [07:41] now how can i do it [07:41] that is what you see as a solution to a problem, what is the actual problem [07:41] shapow: like it is explained it is not recommended to run pulseaudio in system-mode, but let's try to add the sink .. can you paste /etc/pulse/default.pa please? [07:42] i have no clue how to edit sorry [07:42] anew: http://is.gd/JKRQ4e http://is.gd/IgPYGL [07:42] I have some content on my website that I need to be able to prove that was available between a certain period, is there a "time server" service? is there an acredited site/company that can offer such an accreditation? anybody know about something like this? [07:42] the problem is i cannot run anything as sudo from www-date [07:42] joshs: you did it earlier and I've told you 3 times now. gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list (in a terminal) [07:43] anew: that still is not the real actual problem [07:44] Guys in the grub file should i set GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to 1? [07:44] that is the problem [07:44] i dont know how many times i have to say it... [07:44] i want to run www-data as sudo [07:44] i tried changing www-data to apache [07:44] there is no reason to ever have that [07:44] it still didnt work [07:44] glitsj16: its stock from 13.10 install with no changes. i'm copying it now lmk if you still need it [07:44] I dunno, he's a volunteer and isn't really obliged to help you. [07:44] so what are you really trying to accomplish?! [07:44] anew: here's a third link for you http://is.gd/gUyKiA [07:44] * hipitihop_ reboots as mouse has just got lag, never seen that before [07:44] So you can say it as many times as you want. [07:45] www-data never needs and should never have sudo access [07:45] that looks good somsip will try that [07:45] the only useful answer in here [07:45] thx [07:45] anew: why do you want to give www-data sudo access? [07:45] if you'd ever explain your actual problem, maybe someone here could help you [07:45] shapow: i'm still on 13.04 so not sure what came with 13.10, a paste would be welcome so we can stay on the same page on the issue [07:45] glitsj16: http://p.pomf.se/2432 [07:45] anew: the useful answer is *dont do it*. I'm just shutting you up, I'm sad to say [07:46] shapow: thanks, having a look [07:46] also, has anyone looked at either coreboot or kernel.org's Secure Boot System pre-bootloader? [07:46] glitsj16: sure! [07:46] obv this guy had a reason to do it also [07:46] Backgammon: I'm a proud owner of a c720 with seabios (coreboot) [07:46] anew: what you're asking for is going to get you hacked [07:46] anew: it's possible for more than one person to have a bad idea. [07:46] How's feature coverage of coreboot at this point? [07:46] Backgammon: the latest (7 i think) x86 chromebooks are almost entirely libre machines with exception of bluetooth [07:47] hmhm [07:48] Backgammon: Can't relay specifics, don't know them atm, but reports have it that they run pretty much any OS you throw at it... openbsd is being ported. but who uses that anyway ;) [07:48] shapow: okay, looks clean, but no default sink is present currently .. do you have the sink info you would like to become default? [07:48] Huh, pretty good [07:48] I'm hearing things like how suspend to RAM doesn't work on some boards, etc [07:48] glitsj16: basically just the penultimate line would be `set-default-sink 1' to specify the stereo-output instead of index 0 which is the hdmi output [07:49] I don't have an external flasher, though, so sadly I can't see for myself [07:49] Backgammon: yeah, the trackpads on these latest machines only work after adding patches... and suspend is finicky... the report comes from arch linux. i don't know about ubuntu [07:50] hey backgammon wernt you helping mywith my problem earlyer today? [07:50] i put #'s in front of them [07:51] joshs: so save and do the sudo apt-get-update thing again [07:51] shapow: i would love that being possible too, unfortunately pulseaudio devs are not sharing our wishes heh, let me have a minute to check on something and i'll get back to you [07:51] glitsj16: i've tried specifying the full name and the index, no effect on restart/killing pulse. but the commands work fine live [07:51] shapow: can you show what works on the commandline? [07:52] glitsj16: sorry, i meant no effect on reboot, not restarting pulse. [07:52] Jeffry: Are you able to boot Ubuntu at all? [07:52] glitsj16: pactl set-default-sink 1 -> works === jack is now known as Guest44117 [07:53] yes i am [07:53] glitsj16: pactl set-default-sink 0 -> also works, sets back to dread hdmi output [07:53] shapow: i believe the issue is that you can't be sure which card gets set with what index on a reboot, but we can try to do something about that, please hold [07:54] shapow: that's probably why on reboot the other card is assigned index 1 .. does this make some (weird) sense? [07:54] glitsj16: awesome ok :) [background music plays] [07:54] shapow: cool :) i'll dig up something [07:54] glitsj16: makes perfect sense. although the cards are in the same order on every reboot [07:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6719428/ [07:55] Jeffry: Please pastebin the output if "sudo efibootmgr". [07:55] glitsj16: hdmi always first -.- wish i could just disable it permanently [07:55] shapow: it is actually alsa that gives the cards a different (unpredictable) index [07:55] glitsj16: oh well that makes more sense [07:55] joshs: you need to comment out line 4 with the reference to cdrom. I thought you did this the first time. Sorry i I missed it. Edit and update again [07:55] Jeffry: ...I was? I don't think so. [07:56] it is my first time trying any of this [07:56] joshs: and it's still showing errors for the backports, so make sure lines 38 and 39 are commented out [07:56] joshs: well this is your last chance as I'm going out in a minute [07:56] Jordan_U: It just says Command not found [07:57] shapow: just to confirm .. are both cards onboard or do any usb cards come into play? [07:57] glitsj16: onboard === erkules_ is now known as erkules [07:58] shapow: okay, i'll prepare a quick paste so you can have a look and prepare a test, 1 minute [07:58] i thought hash tags took care of those [07:58] glitsj16: cool [07:58] joshs: you have the file. You can check it [07:59] shapow: in the mean time, can you check if you have /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and paste that if you do? [07:59] if i put a hash tag in front it should take care of it right? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [07:59] anyone have an idea why rsyslogd wouldn't be logging file changes to syslog? I have it pointing to nginx error log, but it isn't making it to syslog [08:00] joshs: yes. Did you save it? When you open the file does it stil have a hash in front of it? Remember you can use up and down arrows in terminal to repeat teh same commmand quickly [08:00] Jeffry: Are you sure thst you didn't make a typo? [08:00] Hi guys! enyone can suggest how to protect vncserver from brute force attacks? [08:00] glitsj16: http://p.pomf.se/2433 [08:00] >[02:59:27] if i put a hash tag in front it should take care of it right? [08:00] >hash tag [08:00] I have no words [08:00] Jordan_U: What do you mean? [08:00] Karmahacker: fail2ban maybe, but it could be a big solution for a small problem [08:01] you are forever lost to the forces of darkness [08:01] it would be best solution [08:01] somsip [08:01] but i have no idea how to add vnc protocol in there [08:02] Karmahacker: you should be using vnc over ssh anyway [08:02] Karmahacker: if vnc outputs to a log, you create a new filter to watch the log. Read up on F2B website [08:02] Jeffry: Please pastebin the full contents of your terminal after running "sudo efibootmgr". === RichiH_ is now known as RichiH [08:03] somsip vnc write to it own log [08:04] Jeffry: If you typed `sudo efibootmgr' in a command line terminal and it still says Command not found, then run `sudo apt-get install efibootmgr', it should prompt you for your user password after you hit enter. After it will ask you to confirm installation. Type `y' and hit enter. After installation, try `sudo efibootmgr' again, and copy this into a paste website [08:04] Karmahacker: vnc is not a secure protocol to start with, you should really do it over a ssh tunnel [08:05] Jordan_U: I'm going to restart and see if sudo efibootmgr eill work then ok? [08:05] shapow: If efibootmgr isn't installed then something seriously odd is going on. [08:05] Karmahacker: VNC out in the wild is a very very dangerous endeavor and while fail2ban might help you, it is much better and safer for you to use VNC over SSH as mentioned before. Read up a bit on SSH and ask any questions. [08:05] Jordan_U: Does Jeffry have a Windows 8 machine / certain EFI installation? === maureen is now known as Guest52365 [08:06] Jeffry: You shouldn't need to restart for the program to appear, just try copying and pasting verbatim `sudo efibootmgr' without the quotes into terminal [08:06] shapow: turns out your alsa-base.conf looks good, so i believe you can use 'set-default-sink alsa_output.analog-stereo' in /etc/pulse/default.pa (near the bottom) and try restarting pulseaudio [08:06] Jeffry: If not, try what I said before [08:06] Jeffry: No. Please do exactly as I asked and run "sudo efibootmgr" the pastebin the complete contents of your terminal. No matter what error message you get, I want to see the full contents of your terminal. [08:07] Ben64, shapow, im using vnc with " guacamole" to share screen on public : ( [08:07] if i su - www-data as a test ... it still wont work [08:07] glitsj16: ok will give a try! [08:08] anew: stop trying to do the wrong thing and explain your goal so we can help you do the right thing [08:08] shapow: we can try another option if this doesn't work first time, i hope it does though :) [08:09] i have to run a script remotely!!!! [08:09] what is so difficult about that to understand [08:09] glitsj16: I'll restart my machine to see if i hear the drums on bootup :) IRC is on my other synergy machine so it won't close [08:09] at no point did you ever tell us that [08:09] anew: you've never said that before, and what script? why does www-data need to run it? [08:09] shapow: sweet, the drums heh, been a while for me [08:10] Karmahacker: Are you required to share your screen to the world ? Or is it only on a local LAN? I.e. no open VNC ports on your firewall/gateway? [08:10] glitsj16 [08:10] because i need some other users to access it on a website that is also built [08:10] so they can just click buttons [08:10] they cant use cli [08:10] shapow world [08:11] shapow: no rush, as you're helping out here [08:11] how can I tell what exactly is being processed when I log in via SSH? I know it goes through /etc/bash.bashrc, and then at some point ~/.bashrc , but it also does some other stuff, and whatever that "other stuff" comprises is taking like 10 seconds to run... [08:11] they have to access the script remotely and cant access as user [08:11] and the only way they can access it is as www-data [08:11] glitsj16: unfortunately there is no change. pulse is stubborn. [08:12] anew: what does said script do [08:12] 12 seconds from printing the welcome message to actually getting a prompt on login is really lame… trying to debug [08:12] www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /var/www i have this line in sudoers [08:12] it just connects to a vpn [08:12] if u know perl i can copy paste it [08:12] Jordan_U: I'm back [08:12] Karmahacker: Are you wanting to leave VNC open to world? Or could you make do with a clever (safer) workaround? [08:13] glitsj16: Maybe try per-user configuration this time? [08:14] shapow yes im sharing screen on my server by guacamole (without full access) [08:15] does anyone work with qemu in gns3 ?? I am unable to get it working [08:15] any help? [08:15] anyone... [08:15] shapow: it can be yes .. try the quick hack .. test if 'pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.analog-stereo' changes anything for the better (or your earlier command using pactl) and if it does you can let that autostart on login through the ~/config/autostart/...desktop file you will need to add in that case .. hold off a bit before going per-user, should be a quick test [08:16] glitsj16: set-default-sink alsa_output.analog-stereo -> Failure: No such entity :( [08:16] anew: I suggest you try #perl [08:17] shapow: okay, the pactl command does still work? [08:17] Your issue really is not sudoers syntax but rather perl programming [08:17] www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /var/www [08:17] this is a sudo problem [08:17] is this syntax correct [08:17] your program is one big problem [08:17] there is no other way to do it [08:18] and there is probably a better way to do what you are trying to do without sudo shenanigans [08:18] glitsj16: pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo -> works [08:18] there is no way to allow remote users sudo access [08:18] Well, maybe #perl will have a different opinion on that. [08:18] who cant use cli !!!! [08:18] especially without giving www-data free reign to the system [08:18] its not that hard to understand [08:18] www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /var/www this doesnt seem to be working [08:19] Karmahacker: So the objective is to make it your VNC less vulnerable to brute-force attacks...? [08:19] Jordan_U, here you go http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6719504/ [08:19] shapow: cool, so you might give it a shot by adding a user autostart entree using that command in a .desktop file under ~/.config/autostart .. do you know how to do that? [08:21] glitsj16: There is google-chrome.desktop there that reveals the syntax of autostart files so will give it a shot! [08:21] jeffry: You have multiple typos there. It's "sudo efibootmgr", copy and paste the command from this message if you need to. [08:21] shapow : yes exactly i like the way of fail2ban but i'm not sure how possible add vnc protocol in there [08:21] glitsj16: What about just adding the command to Startup Applications? [08:22] shapow: you might also have one there already for pulseaudio, use either of those as example and make another post so we can check syntax before testing again [08:22] shapow: that is the same routine, that'll work as well [08:23] glitsj16: Will try startup applications. Its 3:23 AM.

While searching for your request ... https://vpsboard.com/topic/2446-securing-vnc-fail2ban/ [08:26] www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD [08:26] Karmahacker: TL;DR, VNC is so insecure... especially out in the open. inquire about tunneling vnc through an SSH session which is the much saner option. if you REALLY need VNC out in the open, like for a business presentation or something......... then say so! [08:26] just as a test [08:26] would this remove pwd for all www-data [08:27] shapow: Thank you i think is exactly my case [08:28] shapow: yes i s kind a presentation [08:28] Karmahacker: told you already - find an entry in the vnc log you want to block, create a new filter for it [08:28] Karmahacker: The business presentation thing? Oh devil.... [08:29] somsip yes ) that is the only way i found ) [08:29] somsip : i will chek it for sure thank you again === dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar_away === dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar [08:30] glitsj16: Restarting again, didn't have an effect with just `pactl [etc]', so trying full /usr/bin/pactl [08:31] Karmahacker: What somsip said sounds accurate, you need to make a rule in fail2ban that parses the vnc log's entries [08:31] i installed 13.10 on a chromebook, how do i find and activate the webcam? [08:31] Jordan_U, did you get that paste bin? [08:31] jeffry: Yes. [08:32] Ok [08:32] shapow: strange, i'm thinking there's no reason why adding the 'set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo' should fail if you'd add it in /etc/pulse/default.pa (as we're now mixing per-user and system-mode ..) .. but do the test by all means [08:33] glitsj16: you'd think......... been breaking my head asking why it doesn't work either! [08:33] glisj16: The autostart file didn't have effect either [08:34] shapow: do you get any errors when you try to restart pulse manually? [08:34] shapow , somsip , thank you for help i will work on it :) have a nice day! [08:35] jeffry: Run "sudo efibootmgr --bootorder 0001,0000,3000,0002,2001,2002,2003" to make Ubuntu's entry the default. Copy and paste this command to ensure that there are no typos. [08:35] Karmahacker: You as well! [08:36] shapow: so you did try to add 'set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo' to /etc/pulse/default.pa already? sorry i thought you used the 'set-default-sink 1' ..

[08:37] !mini | systemclient [08:37] systemclient: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:37] Is there any way to use minimal cd with wireless connection?

If I wish to use gcc-4.7 for both Intel 32 bit and 64 bit targets What should I install ? [09:11] Smit-Tay_: you can install gcc, and use "gcc -m32 -o output32 hello.c" to compile 32-bit. use -m64 for 64 bit [09:11] Rory, the problem is linking to standard libraries. [09:12] I am currently getting this problem: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc [09:13] jeffry, I just use a image on my grub, I used to use burg.

How do I tell my system to use that library now? I've installed all kinds of versions due to my frustration, and I suspect that i'm using the wrong version. [09:19] At this stage I've installed and uninstalled so many different packages trying to fix this issue, that I have no idea what the state of my system is.

[11:17] ... and then X (or compiz or whatever) crashed. second time now in a week or so [11:17] ikonia: no..i tried pressing e on the splash screen...im not even getting the grub menu [11:18] diverdude: then get the grub menu first (escape or whatever it is to bring that) [11:19] ikonia: ahhh yes there it was. escape gave me the grub menu :) [11:21] ikonia: ok i pressed e in the grub menu, and some setparams stuff appears [11:21] ok, so remove the splash screen options (quite and some others) from the boot line [11:21] hi [11:22] ikonia: mmm ok...which ones are the splash screen options? [11:23] diverdude: you'll need to check I can't remember off the top of my head, something like quiet and rhgb [11:23] hmm ok...nothing like that here [11:26] diverdude: what are the boot options you see [11:27] ikonia: there are quite a lot. setparams 'Ubuntu , with Linux 3.8.0-35-generic (recovery mode)' recordfail insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos1)' and more [11:27] diverdude: you have to select a boot option to edit [11:28] diverdude: eg: ubuntu with 3.8.0 is your boot option - you edit that and you'll see the boot arguments [11:28] diverdude: you then remove the required boot arguments "quiet" / "whatever" [11:29] what are we talking about [11:30] ikonia: ah sry i had recovery mode selected...now i have the proper boot text.

[11:35] diverdude: errr no [11:36] diverdude: re-read what I said "you've not booted it properly" [11:36] diverdude: so that means you've done nothing to fix it, so why would it magically just start working [11:36] oh sry i misread hehe [11:36] hitsujiTMO: if there is an issue, I'd expect to see the error [11:36] ikonia: thats also what i was wondering :) But something computers are magic [11:37] ikonia: not always.

[14:11] MrAlexandro: E.g. open the "error terminal" and run mkfifo /tmp/myfifo && cat /tmp/myfifo in the other one, cmd 2>/tmp/myfifo === paddy is now known as g4mbit[real] === nuru is now known as Guest96491 [14:12] MrAlexandro: though keep in mind that bash prints its interactive prompts to stderr [14:13] geirha ok so it will work with everything except interactive prompts? [14:13] Any thoughts? [14:14] andreric: it looks like you're trying to rip the course files from the site. You should use the provided interface. Or ask the site owners for the files in a different format [14:14] MrAlexandro: depends on the case; not sure what you consider "regular output" [14:14] my x window system is not working === g4mbit[real] is now known as g4mbit[rente] [14:15] abhi_: did you run the commands I gave you earlier? [14:15] yes,it says no such adaptor found [14:16] MrAlexandro: I sometimes use that approach when debugging in an interactive bash shell, but then I use a separate fd; leaving stdin, stdout and stderr alone. [14:16] abhi_, /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [14:17] abhi_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:17] it says "Fatal server error:Could not create lock file in /tmp/.tX0-lock" [14:17] geirha I want to do the input and get the output in one terminal, but all the errors i would like to pop out in another terminal window === clone1018_ is now known as clone1018 [14:18] Their interface is not more offered to me because the course ended. Now I need these files and tried to download a file that I know the path and got it. So I believe that there is no problem download these files. [14:18] MrAlexandro: Then as long as it isn't an interactive shell session [14:18] Ok. finally got a my new laptop with windows 8.1 and UEFI BIOS. When I boot off of the live USB the screen flashes and I get a black screen. I've tried setting GRUB to NOMODESET with no luck. If I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 I get a TTY terminal. I've also tried disabling safeboot. Any ideas? [14:19] geirha: i assume ssh session is considered an interactive shell session? [14:19] PlastikSpork, try legacy mode in the UEFI [14:20] same in legacy mode [14:21] MrAlexandro: if it runs a shell, yes [14:21] andreric: Most sites only "rent" access to such course files for the duration of the paid course. If you want access again then you'll have to pay for it. Noone here will help you hack access to rip files from a site. [14:21] andreric: if you believe you should have access to them, then contact the site owners and ask them for access. [14:22] Hello.

The definition is a bit loose otherwise... [15:33] jacky1234: Does 'tr [a-z] [A-Z] < file' work for you? [15:34] it is just a simple example [15:34] sed itself cannot see across line endings. [15:34] mainly replace multi line one time [15:34] jacky1234: which makes it difficult to see exactly what you want to match and exactly what you want to change it to. robinmholt has given you something that will work withyour example, but I get the idea you want something else [15:36] Hey, is there some guide that you guys would recommend for dual booting ubuntu with windows 7?

[18:39] lmat: just was about to check what's going on here ;) [18:40] yolo [18:40] awesome intro [18:41] hi all, I'm seeing some very weird wireless behaviour. My card is capturing traffic for channels it's not supposed to be on. It's like it's going into scanning mode without me telling it to. Anyone know if I can see which programs are sending commands to the kernel to change channel? [18:41] is there a channel anyone might know of where i might ask about vga/hdmi/video etc [18:47] gcj: have you checked your AP - really weird stuff so I would say it can be something trivial ;) - but yeah only guessing [18:47] apofis, how could the AP tell my card to change channel? [18:50] Hi [18:50] gcj: deal is I saw many post on bunch of forums that many guys got problem with settging up proper channel - issues like I cannot change fixed channel on my wireless interface..." ect [18:50] Installing ubuntu on an SSD isn't anything special, right? [18:50] I have Ubuntu 12.04 and am trying to install an HP all in one 3520 printer, but can't get anywhere. Any guidance to install please. [18:51] galaxyAbstractor, as long as you have a recent enough Ubuntu to support the proper partition alignment for best performance [18:51] gcj: I guess you dont have stuff like aircrack or similar in the background [18:51] apofis, no, I'm running wireshark on the card in monitor mode, but it's also associated [18:52] so it shouldn't be switching channel. My best guess is that NetworkManager is telling it to scan, exactly once every 2 minutes [18:52] gcj: at the end Im guessing - Im trying to help ;) but you have not provided us much data [18:52] I got a 2TB Samsung HDD on SATA_0, a 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD on SATA_1 and a 1TB Samsung HDD on SATA_2, yet ubuntu only finds the 2TB on /dev/sda and the 1TB on /dev/sdc [18:52] i can see my volumes in lvm but im getting /dev/mapper/xxxx does not exist [18:52] apofis, i didn't want to do a braindump on an IRC channel that I don't know :) [18:52] tell me what you want to know [18:52] The SSD is missing from the list during install :/ [18:52] k1l: Yeah, getting the same issue even on non-minimal Ubuntu 12.04. Official OpenVZ images. [18:53] david38400: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2109050 [18:53] is there a free easy to use screen grabber out there with audio options ?

Thanks [18:53] Xzeion: recordmydesktop [18:53] is a good app for recording videos. [18:54] ok, and that will let me grab audio from my laptop mic ? [18:54] yes Xzeion if you configured it right. [18:54] Aaron: Any idea how I can set it up using the printers utility? [18:55] excellent, thank you [18:55] david38400: by the way did you install any drivers? [18:55] from the printers site? [18:55] i believe there it's some drivers for it! [18:55] Currently there is an old Windows install on the SSD which I had planned to erase using the installer. Maybe that's why and you can't use the installer to erase non-ext disks? Sorry I'm not used to ubuntu [18:55] Aaron: Hplip was mentionned and this is installed as I checked in the software package.

[18:57] david38400: Once the printer's network is setup, you can access it via an HTTP interface at its IP address.

It is 740MB [19:38] !minimal | Zectbumo If that doesn't work, this may be your only option, [19:38] Zectbumo If that doesn't work, this may be your only option,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:39] text is fine by me.

[19:46] I see so it should be under themes, thanks I will have a look [19:47] demifuror: i'm not familiar with osx. but i'm sure there's themes out there for whatever terminal you're using that matches as close as possible [19:47] pipelinesamurai: no, you'll have to edit the theme itself [19:47] whereabouts are the files === Console` is now known as Console [19:48] pipelinesamurai: /usr/share/themes/ best to make a copy of your current theme and work off the copy [19:48] ok cool, thanks!!

[19:52] it can read your linux files [19:53] So yes, it is [19:53] so for installing a deb package u just "sudo dpkg -i package.deb" in the directory right? nothing else? [19:53] interweb, wine is essentially a windows emulation layer, if you get a virus in Wine, it can read your Linux files. [19:53] hi, can some one told me what ls -al $(which sudo) said? i change my chmod and now i can not access sudo === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [19:53] interweb, so ultimately it's not a way to protect your system from Windows viruses if you use WIne [19:53] sarkonmalko, If it complains about dependencies, sudo apt-get -f install [19:53] hi does you people reply to private messages just asking as i am new here :) [19:53] Rallias, thanks [19:53] lopiFistmode: usually no [19:53] lopiFistmode, it's best to not private message people randomly, it usually is bad form and annoys some people [19:53] :D thanks [19:54] !privmsg | lopiFistmode [19:54] lopiFistmode: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [20:02] hi, I have a quick question - Did default Ubuntu install woth Unity, STLL sends user searches to Amazon and other Canonical partners, without users knowing and user consent? , By default? [20:02] Does [20:03] hitsujiTMO: it's worth a shot. [20:03] nikolam: no [20:04] nikolam: see http://www.sharpley.org.uk/blog/ubuntu-search [20:04] Ah I figured it out, can't have a sata 2 SSD in a sata 3 slot apparently [20:04] I thought it was backwards compatible [20:05] hello world! [20:05] galaxyAbstractor: that is backwards compatible. or should be [20:06] (Also, I now know how extremely cheap quality ASRock has, their SATA cable connector broke in the SATA slot when trying to switch slot, and I had to take everything apart to be able to get the rest out of the slot) === spearhe30 is now known as spearhead_ [20:06] ciao [20:06] galaxyAbstractor: it s. maybe an issue with your mobo === Mars is now known as Guest23627 [20:07] k1l, so searches on newly installed Ubuntu does not go anywhere out of user's machine by default anymore? Or User is asked about it? Deal with Amazon is off? [20:07] quit [20:07] nikolam: did you read the blogpost i linked? that explained a lot [20:08] Volume Group not active on boot any one have any ideas? if i issue lvm vgchange -ay from initramfs the system will boot [20:09] Yes and it is not near of official Canonical posting about not sending user searches by default to Amazon. [20:09] hitsujiTMO: same problem. lubuntu iso is 730MB and my CD is only 700MB [20:09] Zectbumo: ahh. sorry. thought it would be much smaller [20:09] I also know Ubuntu One used to hold IP connection after default install before, I used to Uninstlal that, but I was happy with Xubuntu instead of Unity for this new privacy things. [20:10] hi - anyone know how to configure named virtual hosts on Apache2 on Ubuntu 13.10? I had it working on 13.04 and it doesn't work. It redirects to the main/default site rather than the content i have set up for the virtual server [20:10] about 12MB smaller, but still not small enough. thx anyways [20:10] nikolam: just install ubuntu, go to system settings -> privacy and disable online searches [20:10] Zectbumo: don't use a CD, use a USB stick [20:10] Zectbumo: if you *must* use a CD, try the mini iso [20:11] Zectbumo: good luck with the time travel thing [20:11] gordonjcp: done that, usb boot doesn't work and mini just flickers on hitting install [20:11] nikolam: its labled "online search" so what are you thinking will result in searching with the dash? dont just run blindly with the shitstorm. [20:11] trijntje, yes, but theya re there by DEFAULT. so no recommending Ubuntu to my neighbor, sorry. [20:11] Zectbumo: put the drive in another machine and install [20:12] nikolam: so? [20:12] nikolam: so no recommending android, too [20:12] nikolam: do you donate when you download? [20:12] I hope dash dies if it does not protect user privacy, but company profits. [20:12] Ok, i got what I needed to know, nothing changed in Canonical land. [20:12] gordonjcp: my machine is SATA and the drive is IDE [20:12] oh, a tor user [20:12] so a tinfoil-hat-wearing freeloader [20:13] its fully encrypted, btw. on both directions. [20:13] Zectbumo: USB-to-PATA converter? [20:13] I'm running out of ideas here [20:13] Zectbumo: why can't you USB boot? [20:13] everybody knows you shouldn't use anything that is connected to the internet ;) === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [20:15] gordonjcp: not sure why it doesn't boot. the bios doesn't have the USB in the a boot order, but it does have a separate "boot from media device: enable" option. I'm guessing it was on the edge of tech when booting from usb was new. anyways, boot just hangs on USB === orwell is now known as Eggdrop_master [20:15] So I must reinstall ubuntu again because of using wine ? [20:16] interweb: No one said that. [20:16] Zectbumo, not sure if gordonjcp has already suggested whipping the hard drive out of whatever machine it is and installing on a different machine and popping it back in? I tried that on my brothers sony vaio - and snapped the track pad connectors for good measure [20:16] computa_mike: yes he did. it's an IDE drive and my machine is all SATA [20:17] I am successful network booting it, but unfortunately it's not staying here on my network [20:17] interweb: what problem do you have? [20:18] oh well, to the garbage bin it goes [20:18] Zectbumo, how about one of those converter thingies : http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/idesata-to-usb-20-a35fq not sure where you're based - that's a UK based company [20:18] trijntje, I've opened some windows softwares using wine that I think they had viruses. [20:19] computa_mike: could possibly work but I ran out of patience. I can't say I didn't try [20:19] interweb: why do you think they had viruses? [20:19] I'm trying to install an Jeos installed (Ubuntu Server with the "minimal install" option). With legacy boot, it's simple. Press F4 and select the option. When booting a UEFI compatible system, that option isn't there because different boot options are present. Anybody know the quick and dirty solution? [20:19] interweb: how get the virus your attention? [20:20] Zectbumo, indeed - it might even be argued that spending any money on a solution for this might be a waste if it's the only device that you could use it on... Shame there's no bios update to enable usb booting [20:21] computa_mike: I'm jumped in late, what's the issue with USB boot? [20:21] salut [20:22] Someheart, Zectbumo was having problems installing onto some device - i jumped in late too - was trying to think of anything that could help out [20:22] PLOPLInux has been VERY useful for me with older systems that didn't support it. [20:22] Boot it up via CD, PXE, whathave you. Select the "Boot from USB option". Nice little work around. [20:23] http://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/download.html === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [20:23] Someheart, that has reminded me that there is a network install option - you could set up a pxe server and install from there [20:24] computa_mike: Someheart: I did us all a favor and dumped the machine in the bin. [20:24] Zectbumo, :) [20:24] I support that method. Not everybody can. :D [20:24] Zectbumo, Someheart ... and problem solved :) [20:25] beers all around! [20:25] Zectbumo, good call... [20:28] s [20:29] i have a Ricoh card reader on my laptop, and Ubuntu 13.10 x64.. when I put a SDHC card into the reader, nothing happens. the driver seems to be loaded [20:29] I'm running in a small issue, I can't run apt-get anymore as it will complain about ssl.so.1.0.0 not being present "/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: ssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [20:29] is there any way to fix this? [20:31] how can I set the sources to only use osuosl from the cli? [20:31] ElysiumNet: That depends on how it got broken [20:32] geirha: I have no clue [20:32] it worked a couple of weeks ago, and then just stopped working [20:33] there is a libssl.so, but I doubt it's ssl.so related [20:33] Korvin: sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list, replace references to whatever mirror you're currently using with ubuntu.ososl.org [20:33] I only did an apt-get upgrade a couple of weeks ago [20:33] should I link libssl to ssl? [20:35] apparently I can't [20:35] I keep having to enter my password to unlock the keyring whenever ubuntu wants to make a background application work. How can I turn this off? [20:36] Volume Group not active on boot any one have any ideas? if i issue lvm vgchange -ay from initramfs the system will boot [20:37] ElysiumNet: Could it be the upgrade got cut off in the middle of installation? [20:38] geirha: I ran it in screen [20:38] ElysiumNet: did it complete without errors? [20:38] no idea, I think the log might have been pruned by now already [20:38] is there a way to fix this without reinstalling the whole OS? [20:39] ElysiumNet: reinstalling the package with ssl.so.1.0.0 might help. What do you get with: locate ssl.so.1.0.0 [20:40] geirha: 2 libssl.so.1.0.0 entries [20:40] /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 and /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 [20:40] linking them to ssl.so.1.0.0 unfortunately did not work [20:41] ElysiumNet: and ldconfig -p | grep ssl do you see libssl.so.1.0.0 there? [20:41] yes [20:42] ElysiumNet: and do those two files exist? ls /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 outputs no error messages? [20:42] yes [20:42] Hm. Weird. [20:43] it's looking for ssl.so.1.0.0 for some reason instead of libssl.so.1.0.0 [20:43] how do you stop ubuntu from asking you to enter your credentials to unlock a keyring? [20:43] and so is every other applications that depends on SSL [20:43] python won't run without it [20:43] pip won't run either [20:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6722872/ [20:46] ElysiumNet: Could it be you've overwritten som ssl lib with pip? [20:46] I haven't ran pip in ages [20:46] could reinstalling python from a package with dpkg help to get things "working" again? [20:47] yes, though I don't think python's the package that needs reinstalling === ikanobori` is now known as ikanobori [20:47] it's the core of getting apt-get to work again [20:47] ElysiumNet: does even python -c '' fail? [20:47] unless you somehow know of a way to somehow force it [20:48] even just python fails [20:48] python: error while loading shared libraries: ssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [20:48] I linked libssl.so.1.0.0 but then it just complains it can't load it [20:49] unless "its" is another library [20:50] ElysiumNet: I'd see if there's a libssl*.deb in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and try reinstalling that [20:50] Fuck I can't believe I ever survived without GNU Screen [20:50] markup`: tone down the language, please. [20:50] geirha: a lot of libssl* packages [20:50] but I wouldn't know which one [20:51] apt-cache policy libssl1.0.0 [20:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6722912/ [20:53] ElysiumNet: Are you able to find the deb for that one? [20:53] libssl-dev_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.10_amd64.deb [20:53] that's libssl-dev, you'll need the non-dev [20:53] and libssl1.0.0_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.10_amd64.deb [20:53] yeah that one, try dpkg -i on that [20:54] done [20:54] same error [20:55] maybe apt-get pulled a broken package? === Mars is now known as Guest54337 [20:56] what's the command to get a checksum of a file again [20:56] ElysiumNet: md5sum is one of them [20:57] md5sum -c MD5SUMS [20:57] ;) [20:57] somehow that crashed the system.. [20:57] or my broadband is getting the hiccups again [20:57] try doing it with the -c option ElysiumNet [20:58] yep, internet hiccing up [20:58] fix it ! [20:58] md5 matches [20:58] then you are good! [20:59] Aaron: I'm not, the system is still broken [20:59] what did you do to the system? [20:59] updating it, apparently [20:59] do this apt-get -f install [20:59] python complains about ssl.so.1.0.0 and "its" [21:00] to fix broken packages === scottalan is now known as scottalan_afk [21:00] Aaron: Unfortunately, that only fixes packages that are broken because they're missing dependencies. [21:00] yeah! [21:01] hey guys. in mac os x, i did echo $LSCOLORS, and it gave me: "GxcxdxDxCxexexfxfxfxfx", so then in my gnome terminal, i did: "export LS_COLORS=GxcxdxDxCxexexfxfxfxfx", but when i do an "ls --color", i get: "ls: unparsable value for LS_COLORS environment variable"...any ideas why it doesnt work? [21:01] Aaron: problem being that apt-get won't run because python can't run [21:01] I'm trying to autostart the remind daemon when I login.. [21:01] Aaron: Apt does not natively track whether a package is corrupt, although debsums can do some of that. [21:01] the command I used is: [21:01] remind -v -z -k'notify-me %s &' /home/vanishing/.reminders [21:01] Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/python-software-properties_0.82.7.7_all.deb [21:02] i can see the remind process starts, however notify-me does not run... [21:02] anybody have any clue? [21:02] ElysiumNet: Can we assume that you don't have a backup of this system? [21:02] ciao a tutti [21:02] jhutchins: correct [21:02] ElysiumNet: strace python -c '' might give some clues [21:02] !list [21:02] mimmo: No warez here!

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [21:02] ElysiumNet: Time for a reinstall then. [21:03] this is absolutely the last time I use an american ISP... constant connection problems [21:03] (or something smaller that is also linked to ssl) [21:03] I can't start software center [21:03] nothing happens when I click it [21:04] I want to install netbeans [21:04] demifuror: Have you looked at the output from dircolors? That is what Linux's termcap is looking for . [21:04] yeyeman: do it [21:04] I don't know what the OS X LSCOLORS environment variable format is. [21:04] how? [21:04] yeyeman, try in the terminal 'software-center' and look for errors [21:04] sudo apt-get install netbeans [21:04] geirha: strace not found [21:05] demifuror: the ls commands on OSX and Ubuntu are incompatbile when it comes to LS_COLORS. You have to set them depending on OS [21:05] what the hell is the md5 of python-software-properties_0.82.7.7_all.deb? [21:05] Beldar, I got an error, do I paste it in here? [21:05] robinmholt: ah okay, thanks, ill see if i can look up some table to help me translate between what they mean...

[21:06] ElysiumNet: Odd, I thought strace was installed by default [21:06] geirha: apparently it got uninstalled and not reinstalled? [21:06] I thinking python-software-properties's deb might be broken [21:07] ElysiumNet, check for any bugs... [21:07] maybe there its a fix. [21:07] Aaron: it's the latest version [21:07] demifuror: You might want to look at: http://softwaregravy.wordpress.com/2010/10/16/ls-colors-for-mac/ [21:07] but I can't find an md5/sha1/sha256/whatever of the deb [21:08] this is the error I get when trying to open software center: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6723003/ [21:08] .... it won't reinstall itself [21:08] huh didn't realize it's made in python [21:08] ElysiumNet: If you run sudo ldconfig then ldconfig -p | grep ssl do you still see the (64 bit) ssl library? [21:09] hi [21:09] geirha: yes [21:09] ElysiumNet: do you have any LD variables set? declare -p "${!LD@}" [21:09] declare will tell me if I have them set? [21:10] that particular declare command, yes [21:10] yeah, a bunch of variables [21:10] anything in particular you're looking for? [21:11] err wait, if there are no variables starting with LD, it'll just dump all variables, since "${!LD@}" will expand to nothing in that case [21:11] So probably none, then [21:11] yeyeman, Not sure exactly, you might try the apt install, and look on the web with that terminal info on running software-center. [21:11] none starting with LD [21:12] it's so weird. The file is there, ld has it cached and everything, but when it tries to load it, it's suddenly "gone" [21:12] ok well luckily I don't need it a lot anyway so.. [21:13] ssl.so.1.0.0 isn't there, when I linked it it goes on to complain about "its" [21:13] libssl.so.1.0.0 is there however [21:13] yes, the lib prefix is implied [21:14] when I linked it, it doesn't complain about it [21:14] only about "its" which might as well be the next file in the chain [21:14] how did you link it, exactly? [21:14] ln -d libssl.so.1.0.0 ssl.so.1.0.0 [21:15] ah, that'll have no effect [21:15] all the other .so files start with lib... [21:15] yes, they must start with lib, otherwise they'll be ignored [21:15] okay [21:16] copying the file to ssl.so.1.0.0 does the same [21:16] wait no, I meant ln -n [21:16] not -d [21:16] what does the file command say about it? file libssl.so.1.0.0 === _32[8]_ is now known as Knunez [21:17] libssl.so.1.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0x240fc47e4b10bb8b6f78a5569c3bf8a4029aa572, stripped [21:18] so I contacted mafia and gave me 5000 dolars for the work [21:19] ElysiumNet: looks correct [21:19] geirha: then why doesn't it work! :( [21:20] * LoRdToLsToI YouTube - Sting - Desert Rose original song [21:20] should I run a "dpkg --configure -a --force-all" ?

[22:35] simonyesboss: Hold down the c key to get it to boot CD [22:35] nashant i'd look at the drivers [22:36] Yeah thats what I've tried, even holding down the option key to get to a boot menu doesn't work... it just shows the main OS hard drive [22:36] hitsujiTMO: I thought that, but it's the same driver package, iwlwifi, that's used in both [22:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ptg7zn7R-0 [22:37] afrokarlsson: you've been kicked already and warned serveral times. please stop [22:37] simonyesboss: Have you tried to see if another computer will recognize the CD? It might as well be an issue with the iso / cd [22:38] ElysiumNet: maybe python isn't the python installed by apt. file "$(type -P python)" [22:38] Or if disk utility in OS X will recognize it [22:38] geirha: it was [22:38] I killed off the box, I'll be reinstalling everything tomorrow [22:38] I also noticed something else [22:38] an process that should not have been running [22:39] My MBP recognises the disk but that is what the disk was created with... [22:39] the G5 doesn't :( [22:39] but it does recognise other disks... [22:39] simonyesboss, it sounds like the cd might not have gotten burned right, first I would check the md5 sum of the iso to make sure there isn't anything wrong with the download [22:39] geirha: specifically a process that appeared to be talking home to an IP that's owned by a government, and the last IP outside of mine to have accessed the machine was from the ISP themselves [22:39] so I'll be leaving them ASAP [22:40] simonyesboss, in your mbp can you open the disk and view the contents? [22:40] I can not connect to internet with running a software with wine [22:40] yup [22:40] screw USA IP's [22:40] *isp's [22:40] hitsujiTMO: How would you suggest I go about checking the drivers? [22:40] Hello. I'm trying to get a process to use a specific network interface. What I've done so far is attempted to create a virtual interface using `vlan` and then followed this: http://daniel-lange.com/archives/53-Binding-applications-to-a-specific-IP.html [22:41] simonyesboss: Do you still have OS X installed on the G5? [22:41] nashant: test the speed of other protocols. cifs. http. [22:42] yeah, OSX 10.4 so pretty old... [22:42] Should be all right. I would boot it, and see if that recognizes the disc [22:42] I was going to put 10.5 on it but I can't seem to burn DL DVD's at the moment so that is a no no ;) haha [22:42] How can I basically pipe connections through a specific network interface? [22:43] Kind of sad. 10.5 was a major improvement [22:43] I've created a virtual network interface but how do I give it a specific IP and then have it use my main connection to actually connect to the Internet? [22:44] ElysiumNet: Woah, scary. [22:45] OK the other MBP doesn't boot to the disk either :( [22:46] It's as if something is wrong with the disk so it is not bootable... [22:47] If you have a USB stick, you could also make a bootable one: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#How_do_I_boot_from_a_USB_drive.3F [22:48] hitsujiTMO: I'm testing http by downloading a 1GB file from the apache server, and it's about 6MB/s. I would have thought it should be quicker [22:48] /bc [22:48] nashant: from a local server? [22:48] simonyesboss: What are you using to burn the disks? [22:49] nashant: what type of connection? [22:49] I have tried both toast and disk utility... [22:49] simonyesboss: I believe you have to convert the iso to dmg first. [22:49] I've even tried doing what people suggest for cloning an OSX install CD to make it a CD/DVD master disk... [22:49] hitsujiTMO: http on wifi is 6MB/s, on wired is 11.2MB/s [22:49] ahhh, that could be a good point! [22:50] nashant: lotsa variables there. so difficult to give an answer there. but it would be interesting to see what you're getting on debian [22:50] hitsujiTMO: the wifi should be faster than the wired. The connection is ~240Mbit compared to 100Mbit [22:50] simonyesboss: I know I made a not of it somewhere, no idea where though. [22:51] nashant: lotsa variables with wifi tho. from distance, interference, other traffic, etc... [22:51] simonyesboss: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [22:51] simonyesboss: Feedback on whether that's relevant would be welcome. [22:52] yeah that one could work, thanks [22:53] if i was going to import an image into openstack, is http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img the correct image and in what format is this build? [22:56] Hey, can anyone help me clarify using 'kill -USR1 '.... I was trying to use it to get the progress of a 'dd' command I background. [22:58] hitsujiTMO: distance from router ~3m, interference is minimal [22:58] hi, I'm running a liveCD and trying to access my encrypted internal hard drive. not sure where to start [22:59] there should be a .cryptfs and you have to decrypt it using Luks [22:59] kantes: luks encrypted? [22:59] hitsujiTMO: yes, it was encrypted with the ubuntu installation cd [22:59] hitsujiTMO: Looks like I might be replacing ubuntu with debian [22:59] Just try mounting it with the gui [22:59] RandomStrayCat: what gui? [22:59] kantes: http://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mount-encrypted-volumes-from-command-line [23:00] hitsujiTMO: Shame, because I like unity [23:00] nashant: just give the live cd a try again and see what you get there. could be the case of having to change the kernel only if there is a difference [23:01] hitsujiTMO: How would I go about changing the kernel?? [23:01] hitsujiTMO: cool, thanks. it's lvm -- does that make any difference? [23:02] kantes: luks is only done on lvm afaik :) [23:02] nashant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [23:02] hitsujiTMO: cool, thanks [23:03] knj [23:03] question: does anyone have an idea on how to use 'kill -USR1 ' to get the progress of 'dd' [23:03] ps just shows this afterwards [1]+ User defined signal 1 sleep 1000 [23:05] Whenever I restart Ubuntu, UEFI seems to do a reset. Is there something I have to disable or something? I recall hearing something about it [23:05] when I try to mount the unencrypted device I get: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'" [23:06] kantes: type in what you typed [23:07] RandomStrayCat: "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 ecrypted_volume" Then I try to mount it and get the mount error [23:09] RandomStrayCat: nevermind, I figured it out. just ran a vgchange [23:10] there ya go :) [23:12] Lets try again, anyone know how to use kill -USR1? === pir8te is now known as bambam94 [23:22] How does 'command' & pid=$! set pid to that commands correct pid?

[23:46] what lines should I add to /etc/network/interfaces to configure port forwarding for a particular interface: say, forward ports 99,88,77 from lan as 999,888,777 from wan?
