| simbalinux | what is the difference between the rdev or root device /dev/sda1 and the /boot | 00:11 |
| simbalinux | ? | 00:11 |
| simbalinux | when viewing /etc/fstab | 00:11 |
| simbalinux | do root devices need to be in /etc/fstab? | 00:11 |
| === Mars is now known as Guest88314 | ||
| simbalinux | i thought it was every device needs to be there | 00:11 |
| simbalinux | I believe /boot is a seperate partition located on a device | 00:13 |
| k1l | simbalinux: /boot is important before the fstab gets read | 00:13 |
| JanC | /boot is a directory inside the root device, and it's possible (but not necessary) that it's a separate partition | 00:14 |
| MRNV | <RandomStr...Cat> after all I have this message: undev[3693]: timeout: killing "/usr/sbin/alsactl/ rescue 0' [746] | 00:14 |
| JanC | well, it's possible (but not necessary) that a separate partition is mounted under it | 00:14 |
| simbalinux | so if you install a system and /boot resides on /dev/sda1 and sda1 is the root device, what makes it the root device is it the boot being present | 00:14 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| simbalinux | what defines a device or qualifies it as being the root device | 00:15 |
| simbalinux | what must it possess | 00:15 |
| k1l | !away > dziegler | 00:15 |
| ubottu | dziegler, please see my private message | 00:15 |
| JanC | simbalinux: it must be mounted as "/" ? | 00:15 |
| simbalinux | okay so you can have a root device mounted as / but not include the /boot portion is that correct? | 00:16 |
| qwebirc38013 | dfasdffdsadsadf | 00:16 |
| qwebirc38013 | oh | 00:16 |
| simbalinux | the /boot could be on another device right? | 00:16 |
| qwebirc38013 | Can someone help me with setting up a ubuntu server? | 00:17 |
| gordonjcp | qwebirc38013: #ubuntu-server | 00:17 |
| JanC | simbalinux: you can mount a different device under any directory you wan | 00:17 |
| JanC | *want | 00:17 |
| qwebirc38013 | Its on a intel 2.5 ghz 512 ram dell | 00:17 |
| qwebirc38013 | hmm | 00:17 |
| JanC | so, yes, mounting a different device under /boot is certainly possible | 00:18 |
| simbalinux | JanC if originally you had the systems root device on /dev/sda1 and not the root device is /dev/sdb1 will that affect the /boot entry | 00:18 |
| jayelze | Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could point me toward a good tutorial on how to install Tails on usb without having to use a dvd first? | 00:18 |
| qwebirc38013 | no ideal | 00:18 |
| JanC | simbalinux: /boot is just a directory | 00:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | jayelze: tails is not supported here. this is #ubuntu support | 00:20 |
| simbalinux | so if /dev/sda1 held the /boot directory and someone logged in and changed the root device to /dev/sdb1 would that affect booting? | 00:20 |
| simbalinux | /dev/sda1 still holds /boot but someone mounted /dev/sdb1 on / | 00:21 |
| simbalinux | so sda1 is no longer the root device | 00:21 |
| simbalinux | how would that affect booting | 00:21 |
| simbalinux | if at all | 00:21 |
| jayelze | hitsujiTMO: Ok, where should I ask? I'm totally new to irc btw. Thanks | 00:22 |

| === don is now known as Guest31683 | ||
| DHR | Sounds good. BUT: you are running proprietary software and might hit a few snags. | 02:21 |
| DHR | you could run the program as superuser, but that is dangerous. sudo scangearmp. | 02:22 |
| digitaldefector | DHR, are you suggesting that there is no solution? It won't work with out "gksudo scangearmp" | 02:22 |
| DHR | you chould look at the permissions on the scanner /dev files. The normal way is to automate that with arcane udev rules. | 02:23 |
| DHR | no: I'm not saying that there is no solution. I would not know. | 02:23 |
| DHR | if the problem is permissions for the device, you could manually change the /dev/whatever file ownership and/or permissions. That is likely to work. | 02:24 |
| DHR | but you will have to do that again each time you boot. Or write a script to do that. | 02:24 |
| digitaldefector | DHR, I wonder if installing the proprietary program as root could have caused this. | 02:25 |
| DHR | then again SELinux might block you. You can put it into permissive mode. | 02:25 |
| DHR | No, you have to use root to install a program. Or at least some place in the process involves root. | 02:25 |

| digitaldefector | DHD, I don't mind the extra work to get the image available to all users, but I have convinced my mom to use Linux on all her computers, and she won't remember how to go through whole process as it stands now. But she's not switching, which is good. They're really happy with Linux. | 02:27 |
| DHR | ScanGear seems to be designed for ancient systems. Like Ubuntu 7.04 | 02:27 |
| Mad3ngineer | i have been able to get it set up out of the box | 02:27 |
| Mad3ngineer | but, when i try to configure it with DLZ packaged into it | 02:27 |
| Mad3ngineer | it gives me this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2198276 | 02:27 |
| AndrewC | @Mad3ngineer Let me try -s | 02:27 |
| Mad3ngineer | if your user doesnt exist in group sudo | 02:28 |
| Mad3ngineer | it wont work | 02:28 |
| DHR | 7.04 is almost 7 years old. | 02:28 |
| EsoRotica | motd | 02:28 |

| AndrewC | @Madengineer I was planning on using this for a Zimbra Server. | 02:29 |
| AndrewC | It says "-s: Command not found" | 02:29 |
| Mad3ngineer | when you do sudo -s | 02:29 |
| Mad3ngineer | i started myself with a fresh dist of ubuntu server 12.04 | 02:29 |
| Mad3ngineer | what version are you using? | 02:29 |
| Mad3ngineer | ahh ok. | 02:29 |
| AndrewC | 12.04 | 02:29 |
| Mad3ngineer | hmm. | 02:29 |
| FloodBot1 | Mad3ngineer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:30 |
| digitaldefector | DHR, I researched installing scangearmp on 12.04. It works, albeit not what I had expected, but it works. I have a tutorial for this on Ubuntu's forums. It's unfortunate that I can't use simplescan. | 02:30 |
| DHR | digitaldefector: see if there is an open-source SANE driver for your device. http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html | 02:30 |
| AndrewC | Oh wait | 02:30 |
| AndrewC | @Mad3ngineer it worked | 02:30 |
| Mad3ngineer | uhh, ok | 02:30 |
| AndrewC | Thanks | 02:30 |
| Mad3ngineer | tyvm floodbot1 and np AndrewC | 02:30 |
| DHR | simplescan is nicely simple but buggy :-( | 02:30 |
| Mad3ngineer | i wish bind9 wasn't so hard to get working right with DLZ... | 02:31 |

| Mad3ngineer | heh. talking to a computer. | 02:32 |
| digitaldefector | DHR, I'm sorry if it sounds like I don't know what I'm doing. To be blunt, I have a monthly injection for a disease I have, and after I take it, for a few day's I have a hard time articulating. I just took the medicine today. So please forgive me, if I don't make much sense. I'm going to check that site. Thanks brother. | 02:32 |

| EsoRotica | Hey everyone, I'm attempting to help a new user onto ubuntu by getting it installed on their laptop. Its giving me a serious run for my money however. After attempting fresh installs (12.04, 13.10) none of the drivers will load (lsmod shows 0 modules) . While on 12.04 I was getting the error at boottime:modprobe modules.dep not found. Any Ideas? | 02:34 |
| Mad3ngineer | what stage does it get to eso?" | 02:35 |
| Mad3ngineer | like, finalizing install? | 02:35 |
| EsoRotica | It'll boot and load | 02:35 |
| Mad3ngineer | and then when it is trying to load os it doesnt work? | 02:35 |
| EsoRotica | It loads into OS, no kernel modules however | 02:36 |
| Mad3ngineer | hmm.. I am not an expert on that topic, and don't want to give false info | 02:36 |
| Mad3ngineer | i honestly don't know anyone on here either | 02:36 |
| EsoRotica | Fresh installs on a completely blank SSD. >< | 02:36 |
| Mad3ngineer | so I wouldnt know who wto point you to | 02:36 |
| wolfzrat | hey guys is there a special way to open ubuntu full magazine, i click on the icon and it wont open | 02:36 |
| Mad3ngineer | what version of ubuntu? 32 bit or 6 | 02:37 |
| Mad3ngineer | 64* | 02:37 |
| EsoRotica | 64 | 02:37 |
| EsoRotica | on an i5 | 02:37 |
| Mad3ngineer | how much ram | 02:37 |
| EsoRotica | 8gb | 02:37 |
| Mad3ngineer | definately not the computer | 02:37 |
| wolfzrat | anyone know? | 02:37 |
| EsoRotica | Could be a Bios Setting somewhere | 02:37 |
| Mad3ngineer | and now i am wanting to throw it off a cliff thanks to bind9 configuration | 02:38 |
| Mad3ngineer | i threw together a 32 bit ubuntu server out of scrap parts | 02:38 |
| Mad3ngineer | yeah could be. | 02:38 |
| DHR | I run a bind setup that I haven't changed in a dozen years, but really, I thought other servers were the way to go these days. | 02:38 |
| Mad3ngineer | wolfzrat: I use windows for most things (i am partially a gamer) and so I only use linux for servers | 02:39 |
| Mad3ngineer | however, I don't like how hard it is to configure manually and restart | 02:39 |
| DHR | sorry, server is used with two different meanings here. | 02:39 |
| wolfzrat | so no one here knows how to open the full circle magazine | 02:39 |
| Mad3ngineer | DHR, I think bind is the best. having heard that it is the standard of DNS | 02:39 |
| digitaldefector | Mad3ngineer, what about steamOS? | 02:40 |
| Mad3ngineer | and it is extremely hard to package it with DLZ correctly... | 02:40 |
| EsoRotica | Trying it myself wolfzrat | 02:40 |
| Mad3ngineer | for 200 smackeroos. | 02:40 |
| Mad3ngineer | eh, I already bought windows a while ago digitaldefector | 02:40 |
| Mad3ngineer | hate mac, don't like dealing with ubuntu permissions for desktop | 02:40 |
| DHR | RFCs are the standards of DNS. BIND is just one implementation (the first, I think) | 02:40 |
| Mad3ngineer | and I like windows overall, it's what I grew up on. | 02:40 |
| Mad3ngineer | hmm. I really just want to be able to link whatever server to my mysql server | 02:41 |
| wolfzrat | n/m i opened it in utily | 02:41 |
| wolfzrat | utility | 02:41 |
| Mad3ngineer | so I guess doesnt have to be bind9 | 02:41 |
| wolfzrat | thanks guys | 02:41 |
| EsoRotica | wolfzrat: | 02:41 |
| EsoRotica | http://dl.fullcirclemagazine.org/Downloads | 02:41 |
| Mad3ngineer | DHR, what about powerdns? what is your opinion of it? | 02:42 |
| wolfzrat | 404 error | 02:42 |
| EsoRotica | sorry http://dl.fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads | 02:42 |

| EsoRotica | also a bad link... | 02:42 |
| d4rkt1m3s | put imgsrc in google images. I dare you. | 02:42 |
| digitaldefector | DHR, I appreciate all your help, but I couldn't find a driver for canon. Coincidentally there's the same model name for my scanner, but its PIXMA. | 02:42 |
| digitaldefector | Mad3ngineer, bundled with your pc, or an OEM? | 02:43 |
| Mad3ngineer | http://lmgtfy.com?q=Ubuntu%20Magazine | 02:43 |
| Mad3ngineer | not OEM, not bundles | 02:43 |
| Mad3ngineer | bundled* i built my pc from scratch | 02:43 |
| Mad3ngineer | better than anything you can buy built | 02:43 |
| Mad3ngineer | digital... I like windows, and I like ubuntu. However, I have preferences for certain things | 02:44 |
| Mad3ngineer | gawzh im thinking about giving up on bind9 and using a diff program | 02:44 |
| Mad3ngineer | so hard to configure it with my database | 02:44 |
| DHR | Mad3nineer: I hesitate to give opinions on DNS servers. I've not enough experience. I know DNS insiders, but that isn't the same as being one. (I have more or less written a custom resolver.) | 02:44 |
| Mad3ngineer | Yeah, good not to give out false info. | 02:44 |
| === d4rkt1m3s is now known as jimmyrustler | ||

| Mad3ngineer | that is, after the hours i spent getting the darn thing to compile | 02:46 |
| iampoz | hi, how do I determine what I need to type to start an application? | 02:46 |
| Mad3ngineer | im getting nasty errors when I try to start bind9 with DLZ packaged into it | 02:46 |
| iampoz | I know what the application is called, but can not figure it out by searching google | 02:46 |
| Mad3ngineer | what kind of file | 02:46 |
| Mad3ngineer | .sh? | 02:46 |
| Mad3ngineer | iampoz, what are you trying to start | 02:46 |
| DHR | digitaldefector: you can try making the proprietary driver work. I think you may well succeed. But it might take a bit of trail blazing: one problem at a time. | 02:46 |
| iampoz | the application is minitube, installed via the ubuntu software centre, but it is the minitube-ubuntu version | 02:47 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| DHR | your first problem is LIKELY permissions on the /dev/whatever file. | 02:47 |
| Mad3ngineer | hmm. I am mostly with the server stuff | 02:47 |
| digitaldefector | Mad3ngineer, I'm working on a home build too. I wan't to use it primarily for video editing. In the end it's cheaper than a store build, and fun to do. Do you know what SteamOS is used for? | 02:47 |
| Mad3ngineer | dig | 02:47 |
| digitaldefector | DHR, You're right. I just feel lazy right now lol | 02:47 |
| Mad3ngineer | err trigger happy pinky on enter... | 02:47 |
| Mad3ngineer | as i was saying, steamOS is just like steam, but it is a free operating system (i dont think open source, correct me if I'm wrong) | 02:48 |
| Mad3ngineer | and I think it is linux based | 02:48 |
| Mad3ngineer | i plan to use it in a diff build for a home pc hooked up to my family's pc | 02:48 |
| Mad3ngineer | it's free, so why not give it a try | 02:48 |

| CarlFK | Mad3ngineer: is this for a home setup? | 02:51 |
| Mad3ngineer | yes, | 02:51 |
| CarlFK | there is a much simpler dns/dhcp/something else server | 02:52 |
| Mad3ngineer | getting permission denied on /var/named/named.conf and /var/named/session.key | 02:52 |
| Mad3ngineer | really I just want it to connect to my database... | 02:52 |
| Mad3ngineer | carlfk, care to reccomend anything? | 02:52 |
| Mad3ngineer | i tried setting chmod to 766 | 02:53 |
| digitaldefector | Mad3ngineer, I'm not sure how open it is. I do know , reading more news about it today, that it's fixing alot of stuff in Debian, mostly because Valve couldn't base it on Ubuntu. Because of trademark licensing on the Ubuntu name. I also found out that it runs on AMD and Intel now, and Alienware will be releasing a SteamOS console. Everything that they're doing to fix and debug Debian is opensource. | 02:53 |
| iampoz | I want to start minitube-ubuntu, but do not know what to type in termal to do so | 02:53 |
| Mad3ngineer | lol. i am just too lazy to figure out that much. i personally don't care to learn that much detail. My mindset: It's an operating system. it has steam. | 02:54 |
| rww | "because of trademark licensing on the Ubuntu name" [citation needed] | 02:54 |
| Mad3ngineer | lol | 02:54 |
| digitaldefector | rww, one second | 02:55 |
| iampoz | sorry, my computer crashed again. the last thing I said was "I want to start minitube-ubuntu, but do not know what to type in termal to do so" - not sure if anyone responded | 02:55 |
| Mad3ngineer | just did /clear. lets see how fast this baby fills up with leaving and joining messages | 02:55 |

| iampoz | it is okay. I just spent awhile trying to figure out what is causing the problems I am having so I am frustrated. | 02:59 |

| ubuntuaddicted | hi guys, curious if anyone else has fullscreen games losing focus on you? It's weird because sometimes buttons will act like it's being pressed but it isn't. I am running XFCE with no composition or anything like that | 03:00 |
| Mad3ngineer | mysql? check. OpenSSH? check. Apache? check. php? check. vsftpd? check. bind9 NOPE | 03:00 |
| iampoz | Sorry, not sure what bind9 is | 03:00 |
| Mad3ngineer | yeah that's true digital. | 03:00 |
| Mad3ngineer | bind9 is a dns server | 03:01 |
| Mad3ngineer | basically i can tell the internet that www.(namehere).com links to this ip, and browsers can type www.google.com instead of an ip like 123.456.789.101 | 03:01 |
| iampoz | oh i see... I unfortunately don't know how to configure a server. technically my computer is a server, but I use it as a computer | 03:01 |
| Mad3ngineer | yeah. i host a few things on it | 03:01 |
| ubuntuaddicted | it's happening in Deadfall Adventures. My keyboard won't work all of a sudden and the guy in the steam forums trying to help me thinks it's becayse something else is grabbing focus | 03:02 |
| Mad3ngineer | (mine), but i want to set up a web server for simple things | 03:02 |
| digitaldefector | ubuntuaddicted, do you think that it could be notifications? | 03:03 |
| Mad3ngineer | hmm... maybe the game is lagging with controls? | 03:03 |
| Mad3ngineer | does it happen with all fullscreen games? | 03:03 |
| ubuntuaddicted | digitaldefector, i don't believe so because there's no notifications when this happens | 03:03 |
| ubuntuaddicted | digitaldefector, i don't even really know if this bug is related to "losing focus". | 03:03 |
| Mad3ngineer | exactly my thoughts... might be lag or the game might be derping | 03:04 |
| Mad3ngineer | not every game is perfect... even the most well programmed game can have really awkward glitches | 03:04 |
| ubuntuaddicted | digitaldefector, i just know at times i'll be playing and all of sudden a key on the keyboard is stuck, so i'll be moving forward BUT not even touching the keyboard. Then other times the keyboard will become unresponsive, pressing anything does nothing. When a key does get stuck sometimes I can hit esc, then move the mouse onto resume game and continue normally | 03:05 |
| Mad3ngineer | ubuntu do you have a wirless keyboard? | 03:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | digitaldefector, other times when a key gets stuck, hitting esc or anything on the keyboard does nothing at all, has no impact. it's really weird | 03:05 |
| Mad3ngineer | ubuntuaddicted: wireless keyboard? | 03:05 |
| ubuntuaddicted | Mad3ngineer, nope but good thought | 03:06 |
| Mad3ngineer | yeah. could be keys sticking. what brand is it? if it is logitech, i don't have a hard time believing that it is a problem with the hardware of the keyboard | 03:06 |
| digitaldefector | ubuntuaddicted, are you saying that you don't know how to kill the game when it freezes? | 03:06 |
| Mad3ngineer | or if it has that "made in china" tag on it ;P | 03:06 |
| yangm | what is the fastest file system to install ubuntu on? don't care about data loss. | 03:06 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i suppose it's just a bug in their port of the game because this doesn't happen in any other game. it doesn't even happen in Nordic Games other port, Painkill Hell & Damnation | 03:07 |
| khazhyk | so uh, is there a way to pin an exec to the fancy side bar if it wasn't installed with a package? | 03:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | digitaldefector, no, i'm saying at times the keyboard either becomes stuck on a certain key OR becomes completely unresponsive. | 03:07 |
| digitaldefector | Mad3ngineer, I considered that as well? I think maybe using some compressed air might help. | 03:07 |
| Mad3ngineer | khazhyk... dumb suggestion, but try dragging it? it has been forever since i have used ubuntu desktop.. also maybe try right clicking it maybe there is an option for pinning it | 03:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | digitaldefector, the guy within the steam forums seems to think something is stealing focus but i am not so sure | 03:07 |
| Mad3ngineer | yeah digital, try another computer, see if the keyboard acts wierd | 03:08 |
| Mad3ngineer | then you can know if it is the keyboard or the computer | 03:08 |
| ubuntuaddicted | what is unredirect fullscreen windows mean? | 03:08 |
| Mad3ngineer | no idea. sad for me being a game developer | 03:08 |
| digitaldefector | Mad3ngineer, "sometimes the hardest questions as the easiest answer" You're quick the draw haha | 03:09 |
| Mad3ngineer | yep good statement | 03:09 |

| khazhyk | Mad3ngineer: when i open the app it pops up on the bar, but there's no way to lock it in there :\ | 03:11 |
| Mad3ngineer | plan to make a better game eventually and, hopefully market it | 03:11 |
| mmlj4 | I need to switch someone to *nix, and need to know if they will be able to play facebook games... any of you able to do that on ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| Mad3ngineer | khazhyk when you right click the icon on the bar, it should have an option to make it stay there | 03:11 |
| Beldar | heh, of course you do, and I hope to fly like superman. ;) | 03:11 |
| khazhyk | nope | 03:11 |
| Mad3ngineer | lol. we all have dreams... don't crush eachother's dreams | 03:12 |
| Beldar | just a friendly ribbing. | 03:12 |
| Mad3ngineer | *nudges back* | 03:12 |
| digitaldefector | ubuntuaddicted, I can't remember, but did you say that you're not using compiz? I'm researching your problem as we speak. | 03:13 |
| ubuntuaddicted | digitaldefector, i am NOT using any compiz. 4.10 XFCE | 03:13 |
| digitaldefector | ok | 03:13 |
| ubuntuaddicted | digitaldefector, i'm almost tempted to try another DE like lubuntu or openbox just to see if it's related to XFCE or if it's a bug in the game | 03:16 |

| Beldar | anil, Download it from the link load it to a usb or a disk and boot it and have it look for any OS. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ | 03:35 |
| anil | ok what would be the next step | 03:35 |
| Beldar | anil, The live cd disks app top right corner is a gear it is a drop down, it has a smartdisk self data and smart tests that will tell you what's up without actually running it, it runs automatically. | 03:37 |

| FrankDux | can someone help me with this? | 03:38 |

| FrankDux | oh, i guess that was 3. sorry | 03:38 |
| anil | sure i will give a try and get back to chat | 03:39 |
| digitaldefector | haha. Hillarious. I fixed the scangearmp problem on my own, just by tinkering with permissions in /usr/bin/scangearmp. I am so smart. smrt :) I didn't even need to come here. | 03:40 |
| iampoz | so I am getting this error when I run minitube - "no suitable services discovery module" - then my display crashes, and it goes to the log in screen. any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it? | 03:40 |
| Beldar | iampoz, This from the command line or the app button? | 03:42 |
| FrankDux | hi friends, plz help | 03:43 |
| FrankDux | plz plz plz | 03:43 |
| FrankDux | oh prty plz | 03:43 |
| iampoz | Beldar: command line. if I use the app button, it just crashes ubuntu back to the log in screen | 03:44 |
| Beldar | iampoz, So both do the same, goes to login? | 03:45 |
| DrGrov | Hello everyone | 03:45 |
| iampoz | Beldar, yes | 03:45 |
| iampoz | Beldar, so does B1 free archive manager | 03:45 |
| DrGrov | Got a minor question, running 13.10 and Unity. What might be an easy WM/DE upgrade for me? Looking for something working well and adding a bit more functionality than Unity. | 03:46 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, Do you mean to customize it? | 03:46 |
| Beldar | iampoz, Not really something I can help with, I just saw you earlier asking about the command line on this, I would run dmesg and pastebin it and look at it and post the url to it. | 03:47 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Yes, that is probably what I am trying to say :) | 03:47 |
| iampoz | Beldar, those are the only two that seem to crash ubuntu 12.04. this started happening when I updated my graphics card GeForce GT 230M to the lastest driver for linux 64 bit from nvidia | 03:47 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: I do not feel so productive with Unity as I intended. Have a lot of writing to be done the next few months. | 03:48 |
| iampoz | I need the latest driver because the repos driver would not work for a game I was trying to play | 03:48 |
| Beldar | iampoz, Well proprietary drivers are not suggested here, nor supported so.... | 03:48 |
| === dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar | ||
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, I would suggest XFCE. Plus it's lightweight. If your machine can handle it, you can use Gnome, with extensions. | 03:49 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: My machine is a Xeon E5-2620 so I am sure it will handle it :) | 03:50 |
| iampoz | here is the paste bin for dmesg if anyone can help me: http://pastebin.com/sMcua6Gh | 03:51 |
| TheLordOfTime | what lenses are shipped with Unity in precise? | 03:51 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: What is good with Gnome? You mean Gnome shell or pure Gnome? | 03:51 |
| digitaldefector | Are you sticking with Vanilla Ubuntu, because if you're not they're are some good distro's that are based on it. The latest release of Cinnamon for Linux Mint is very customizable too. | 03:51 |
| FrankDux | so no one can answer me? | 03:52 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Not too fancy about Linux Mint at the moment. Tested it briefly on a spare laptop but nothing for me really. | 03:53 |
| Scunizi | I just installed the x-swat ppa for updated stable nvidia drivers but something is preventing me from upgrading from the ubuntu supplied 304.xx drivers. Do I need to uninstall those first prior | 03:53 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, Gnome Shell. http://ubuntugnome.org/ with extensions https://extensions.gnome.org/ | 03:53 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: And I can easily install Gnome Shell from within 13.10 without needing to reinstall? | 03:53 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, if you have the time, you may want to check youtube out to see what some of the features are in xfce, or gnome etc. There's a few guys to look out for. Like Spatry or ohheyit'slou | 03:54 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: I know XFCE but wonder, has it changed a lot in the past 2-3 years or so? | 03:55 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, I remember reading that it's not recommended because of similarities in Ubuntu Unity and Gnome. However this was before 13.10. | 03:56 |
| digitaldefector | Well that's a tough question. In my opinion the only thing I can say is they have a new application menu. It's called the whisker menu. | 03:57 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Okay, so Gnome Shell or XFCE would do the trick for me. Which is less online accounts based of the two? | 03:57 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Okay, XFCE has developed then :) I might test XFCE first then. Gnome Shell does sound more interesting though. | 03:57 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, I'm not saying to install this distro reviewed in this link. But it does show you how much Gnome can be customized now. It's based on Ubuntu Gnome, but with updated PPA's for the latest release of Gnome Shell 13.10. | 04:00 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPioG5F6wZg | 04:00 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Okay. I just do not like all the online accounts stuff, probably one reason I also have stuck with Unity thus far. | 04:02 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: It feels like everything is integrated in one way or another, not really my cup of tea. | 04:02 |
| Scunizi | When there is an obvious upgrade for a package but when trying to upgrade apt reports that the upgrade is "held back".. why? | 04:02 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, I'm not sure I follow you. Online accounts? | 04:03 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: I mean all the unnecessary online integration inside Gnome Shell as an example. | 04:04 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, I understand. But from what I'm aware of is that this is only happening in Unity... You may be correct, and if you are, Then I would suggest XFCE. | 04:06 |
| === dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar_away | ||
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Maybe I have got Gnome Shell completely wrong though, I might be mistaken. | 04:06 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: It might just be in Unity as you are correctly pointing out but there was some minor thing I saw in Gnome Shell though which made me opt out at the time being. | 04:07 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: XFCE does not have any online integration like Unity? | 04:07 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Could I still get rid of Unity after if I liked XFCE more and decide to stick with XFCE only? | 04:09 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, No not at all. Just so I know, you're not talking about online social media integration? I spend many hours each day reading about Linux, and I've never come across an article referring to online integration, in the manner of Unity. But extensions are integrated to make installation of them easier. | 04:10 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Yes, social media integration is what I mean. | 04:11 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, You could. But it's a bit of a messy way to do that. But it's easier to do that with XFCE than Gnome. | 04:11 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: I definitely want to get rid of all that social media integration. | 04:11 |
| duped27 | DrGrov: it's here to stay. | 04:12 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, You don't have to keep that installed. Or even activate it. Until you set it up, it's nonthreatening to your privacy. | 04:12 |
| p0wder | I just started receiving a "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error" today. ExecutablePath is /usr/sbin/NetworkManager and it says that it is crashing. Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it please? | 04:13 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Yes I know but it clutters space which I definitely do not like. | 04:14 |
| duped27 | digitaldefector: just being online anymore the feds are snooping on all your internet activity. Heck they can even turn your cam on. | 04:14 |
| DrGrov | duped27: That is not the reason I do not want social media integration inside my OS. | 04:14 |
| digitaldefector | p0wder, are you using Ubuntu 13.10? If you are, I had the same problem. It seems that the kernel in 13.10 doesn't support some of the wifi cards that worked in previous versions. | 04:15 |
| DrGrov | duped27: The reason is that I want to control that completely by myself with own apps which do not get enabled by adding accounts in my OS. Big difference for me at least. | 04:15 |

| Bashing-om | DrGrov: I am just getting in the middle of this converssation, but, Have you considered a "minimal" install (only the core) and install only what aps you want ? | 04:17 |
| duped27 | digitaldefector: check out your boyfriend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RQvKQGzcoc | 04:17 |
| digitaldefector | It's funny you mention this. I bought a whole bunch of books on Hacking and Exploitation, for my curiosity. But thanks to the NSA, I don't feel comfortable learning more about penetration testing. So I sold the books for next to nothing on Kijiji. | 04:17 |
| DrGrov | Bashing-om: Yes and no. Have not really thought about it but it might probably be the best thing I could do now it seems. | 04:18 |
| DrGrov | Could someone get rid of trolls like duped27 ? | 04:19 |
| duped27 | digitaldefector: Your the type who believes obama with obamacare an the NSA if your not doing anything wrong you don't have to worry about us spying on you. | 04:19 |
| duped27 | DrGrov: why | 04:19 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Probably XFCE is the way to go. But I really would like to get rid of Unity afterwards. Probably some minor complications will occur if I understand it right. | 04:19 |
| DrGrov | duped27: Since you are trolling about someone's boyfriend when they make a valid point. So, stop trolling or leave. | 04:20 |
| digitaldefector | Dragnslicer, I'm not sure how easy that may be. As easy as it sounds, when you install a desktop environment in debian based packaging, you don't have much control over which parts of the desktop you want to install. Unless it's a third party app, like pidgin. | 04:20 |
| vanishing | ^wrong ping | 04:20 |
| Bashing-om | DrGrov: A minimal install is one way to have complete control and know exactly what is going on in the background. Simple to me is better. | 04:20 |
| digitaldefector | sorry | 04:21 |
| DrGrov | Bashing-om: You are right about that. Might actually give a better overview and step-by-step adding of programs/apps etc. | 04:21 |
| duped27 | Some desktops give you some control to cherry pick what you want to install. | 04:21 |
| digitaldefector | duped27, I'm the opposite. And I could care less about Obama. I'm not american. | 04:22 |
| digitaldefector | duped27, I'm just taking precautions. Like using TOR to study. ;) | 04:22 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| DrGrov | So XFCE, then removing Unity. | 04:23 |
| Bashing-om | DrGrov: I have run 'buntu since 8.10, at 13.04 I went minimal with xfce4 as the DE, Much impressed ! | 04:23 |
| * ki7rw is hoping to get openvpn working someday | 04:23 | |
| DrGrov | Any idea to get a newer PPA to get the latest XFCE instead of 4.10 from the official 13.10 repositories? | 04:23 |
| DrGrov | Well I could always install XFCE and just test it out. Remove it if not what I want. | 04:24 |
| DrGrov | Ah, that I will do. Install and test :) | 04:24 |
| duped27 | digitaldefector: TOR gives you a false sense of security. They really love monitoring TOR traffic. And who knows they probably already cracked the encryption or posing as a secure server. | 04:24 |
| * EsoRotica finally got ubuntu installed >< | 04:25 | |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Or how about Cinnamon in 13.10? | 04:26 |
| duped27 | I think ubuntu has internet install where you can pick what's installed. | 04:26 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: That could be an option as well, right? | 04:26 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, you can install yppa and search, or go to webud8. They have alot of good ppa's. | 04:26 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Yes, webupd8.com :) Always a good resource :) | 04:26 |
| Bashing-om | DrGrov: Not kept up with it, but check out ppa:ricardo.teixas/xfce4-session . | 04:26 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, Good question. It's available in Manjaro, so I would imagine that it's possible, to install on Ubuntu. Give me a second to search. | 04:28 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: I found on webupd8.com the way to install Cinnamon. | 04:28 |
| duped27 | It's a shame all those unwanted programs ubuntu is installing now. It's like buying a pc with thousands of trial programs anymore. | 04:29 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Not sure though it was that good advice, should not brake Unity but never too sure. | 04:29 |
| duped27 | I guess ubuntu needs income to. | 04:30 |
| digitaldefector | duped27, I'm not interested in this discussion with you. | 04:30 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: This is what I found about Cinnamon. http://www.webupd8.org/2013/11/cinnamon-20-no-longer-breaks-unity-in.html | 04:31 |
| Wug | I don't suppose someone here is a parted wizard? I'm trying to get it to align partitions non-stupidly but -a opt is achieving nothing | 04:32 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, Cinnamon is it's own desktop now, it is completely gnome free now. So it shouldn't effect you. | 04:32 |
| Wug | brand new empty 1TB disk that I'm trying to get formatted as GPT | 04:32 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, That's because it's not based on gnome anymore. | 04:32 |
| Wug | I'm trying to stick a little grub partition in it (as small as will align properly) and then the rest of it one single partition | 04:32 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: So that might be the best thing out there for me and my special needs? :) | 04:32 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Can I get rid of Unity easily afterwards? | 04:33 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: I am now installing Cinnamon from that PPA and see what happens. | 04:33 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, I don't think it should. A new feature in Cinnamon is window placement. It will help you be more productive. I would like to see this new feature from Cinnamon in other DE. | 04:35 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Good :) | 04:35 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: How can I get the recommended packages though when installing with a terminal and doing sudo apt-get install cinnamon? | 04:36 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, I was going to distrohop to Cinnamon on Linux Mint. I however can't get my wifi working in any Ubuntu based 13.10 kernel. So I'm sticking for 12.04 for the time being. I did try it, on a live cd, and it's fast. | 04:37 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, sudo apt-get -f install | 04:37 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Okay, I will do sudo apt-get -f install cinnamon again then. | 04:38 |
| DrGrov | Forgot the -f now, it is installed already :) | 04:38 |
| DrGrov | Do I need to do anything anymore in Unity before I get to Cinnamon? | 04:38 |

| lickalott | are any of the files making it to the server grahamsavage | 04:46 |
| grahamsavage | all good.. been working on the same problem on and off for years | 04:46 |
| grahamsavage | yeh it starts at 1mb/s | 04:46 |
| grahamsavage | then scp reports as "stalled" | 04:46 |
| grahamsavage | and it drops to 4kbs | 04:47 |
| lickalott | any change with regular FTP? | 04:47 |

| digitaldefector | Wug, I would offer you one but I stepped on the cpu and bent the pins, so it's of no use to anyone anymore. | 05:12 |

| === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker | ||
| naec269941 | hello room | 05:26 |
| digitaldefector | DrGrov, I forgot to mention, that if you're not using Unity, the web features won't be active when you're in Cinnamon. But for things like pidgin,or empathy, you can easily remove them. To be on the safe side, just leave Unity as it will be dormant and won't run in Cinnamon. That is if you have the space on your hard drive. | 05:26 |
| naec269941 | what can i do with these error | 05:27 |
| DrGrov | digitaldefector: Yes, I got the space, a 120GB SSD for / :) | 05:27 |

| apb1963 | DaemonicApathy: Why do you say "pretty well" ? Are there problems with it? | 05:32 |

| SirNigel | man, unity is crazy coming from kde | 08:02 |
| somsip | !10.04 | 08:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. | 08:02 |
| r00ktu | To try and sort out my issues with the new Intel Integrated Network Card | 08:02 |
| somsip | r00ktu: that's unsupported, so you need to update to 12.04 | 08:03 |
| kostkon | r00ktu, better upgrade to 12.04. you can go directly to 12.04 from 10.04 | 08:03 |
| SirNigel | is there a rolling release for ubuntu? | 08:03 |
| somsip | SirNigel: no | 08:03 |
| r00ktu | ok thanks all appreciate it. | 08:03 |
| SirNigel | yikes | 08:03 |
| r00ktu | Also, hopefully a quick one.. if you install a network driver from source; and run modpobe e1000e (driver) | 08:04 |
| kostkon | !eolupgrades | r00ktu | 08:04 |
| ubottu | r00ktu: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 08:04 |
| r00ktu | and it's still not seeing it in ifconfig.. is there something else I need to do? | 08:04 |
| SirNigel | im coming from openSUSE, i spent a lot of time bashing canonical, figured i would run ubuntu full time to put my money where my mouth is | 08:04 |
| r00ktu | I have tried rmmod e1000e; modprobe e1000e; dmesg and lsmod shows the driver is there but there is no eth0 | 08:05 |
| r00ktu | kostkon: thanks for the link | 08:05 |
| somsip | r00ktu: if you are going to upgrade, I'd suggest looking at the NIC driver issue again after as it might get fixed in the upgrade | 08:05 |
| kostkon | SirNigel, ubuntu desktop will become "semi rolling" in the future to coincide with the ubuntu touch release cycle | 08:05 |
| chainone | hi | 08:06 |
| SirNigel | figure i will do 13.10 and 14.04, then base my judgement after that. | 08:06 |
| SirNigel | install was sweet tho, no problems | 08:06 |
| kostkon | SirNigel, definitely try 14.04 yes | 08:06 |
| r00ktu | somsip: I wanted to upgrade as a last resort.. does the latest kernel have network card drivers, is that how it works? | 08:06 |
| somsip | r00ktu: it will have the latest (to 12.04 standards) of everything | 08:07 |
| SirNigel | besides unity being gross, ubuntu has been pretty good so far | 08:07 |
| r00ktu | somsip: thanks again | 08:08 |

| Melb_Aust_ | Ive updated qBittorrent to latest version but now it keep crashing & closing down after about 10 seconds, running Ubuntu 12.04LTS Any suggestions? Thanks | 08:08 |
| apm1 | SirNigel, obv clean installs are always better | 08:09 |
| kostkon | SirNigel, clean installs better regardless of the OS, but it isn't necessary | 08:09 |
| SirNigel | Manjero disagrees | 08:09 |
| somsip | SirNigel: after a few upgrades from...maybe 10.10, I will be cleanign and starting again with 14.04 | 08:09 |
| SirNigel | do upgrades tend to go smooth, or snafu? | 08:10 |
| SirNigel | mint upgrades where a s***show | 08:10 |
| somsip | SirNigel: different for different folks/hardware/extra stuff they've put on. 2 of mine went straighforward. One required some fixing. Not too bad though | 08:10 |
| SirNigel | kk thanks somsip :) | 08:11 |
| somsip | SirNigel: all IMHO. No guarantees of course | 08:11 |
| somsip | *IME | 08:11 |
| kostkon | SirNigel, from personal exp, 3 upgrades, the last one even managed to downloaded 1.8GB of pacakges... smooth | 08:11 |
| kostkon | download* | 08:12 |
| SirNigel | hmm....nice kostkon, the big worry i had coming to ubuntu full time was having to clean install every what 9 months? | 08:12 |
| somsip | SirNigel: releases are currently 6 months. You don't have to reinstall. | 08:13 |
| kostkon | SirNigel, nah, lts releases have a 5y lifespan after all, you don't need to do that | 08:13 |
| SirNigel | ppa's on LTS alright or do you guys fall way behind? | 08:14 |
| somsip | SirNigel: I use minimal PPAs myself | 08:14 |
| kostkon | SirNigel, i only use official project ppas, that only offer one app, e.g. wine, fs-uae, etc | 08:15 |

| glitsj16 | SirNigel: there's also newer point releases during LTS life-cycles now --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack, so together with mission-critical PPA's should keep you pretty much up-to-date even on LTS releases | 08:19 |

| jason404 | Hello. I have a client who has a Ubuntu server running quantal quetzal. Support ends in April, apparently. What can we do? Can it be upgraded to a newer version safely? Or does the server need to be rebuilt? | 08:32 |
| iwantoski | I'm looking the find out exactly which version of a dpkg package is installed. "dpkg --get-selections | grep X" seems to only show the package, not the specific version. How would I do that? | 08:34 |
| tasslehoff | does no twitter client for ubuntu support tweet marker? | 08:35 |
| KI7MT | iwantoski, dpkg -s <packagename> | grep 'Version' | 08:36 |
| KI7MT | example: dpkg -s gawk | grep 'Version' | 08:37 |
| iwantoski | KI7MT: That output, could I use the exact string to install it again using apt-get or do I need to modify it? | 08:38 |
| KI7MT | example2: apt-show-versions gawk | 08:38 |
| KI7MT | iwantoski, what do you mean by install again ? | 08:38 |
| iwantoski | I.e. install it on a different machine | 08:39 |
| kostkon | jason404, maybe you could backup everything and then try upgrading to 13.10, i.e. 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 and when 14.04 comes out upgrade to that since it is going to be an lts release with 5y of support. if the upgrade fails, then you could do a clean install of 13.10? | 08:39 |
| KI7MT | just sudo apt-get install <packagename> | 08:39 |
| iwantoski | (I want to make somewhat sure, thought a script, that I'm installing the correct versions of my LAMP) | 08:39 |
| iwantoski | through* | 08:39 |
| Unforgiven | in ufw, how can i deny all ports except 80,22, and 443 ? | 08:40 |
| Melb_Aust_ | I jusr uninstalled skype & I fixed the qbitorrent issue....thanks Microsoft! :P cheers somsip | 08:40 |
| iwantoski | KI7MT: the first example produced the following: "5.5.5+dfsg-1+debphp.org~precise+1". Can I just "apt-get install php5=5.5.5+dfsg-1+debphp.org~precise+1"? | 08:40 |
| KI7MT | iwantoski, then check it before had with apt-cache show <packagename> and check the version on the other machine. | 08:40 |
| jason404 | kostkon: Is it safe to do that? Will the server still be anywhere as stable as an un-upgraded server? The server is very important to my client and makes tens of thousands a month | 08:41 |
| jason404 | kostkon: To upgrade once seems risky enough, but multiple time?? | 08:41 |
| kostkon | jason404, then i guess a better course of action would be to wait until april and do a clean install of 14.04 | 08:42 |
| jason404 | kostkon: Yeah, I thought so. Cheers | 08:42 |
| kostkon | jason404, 14.04 will be supported until april 2019 | 08:42 |

| ClumsyCriminal | Hello, official Ubuntu support channel. Is anyone around at this hour to officially support me? | 09:22 |
| Rory | !volunteer | ClumsyCriminal | 09:23 |
| Rory | !volunteers | ClumsyCriminal | 09:23 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Thank you, Rory | 09:23 |
| ubottu | ClumsyCriminal: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 09:23 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Ah, I completely understand | 09:23 |
| Rory | What's the problem ClumsyCriminal ? | 09:23 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Well....this may be a bit difficult to give the details of, but I'll try | 09:23 |
| ClumsyCriminal | OK, so, I've had apache running well for a long time. I'm writing a PHP script now for a server that is only running PHP 5.3, and I was running 5.5, so, I installed a version management system, PHPBrew | 09:24 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Everything was nice, except that, well | 09:24 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| ClumsyCriminal | It changed me over permanently to their compiled version | 09:24 |
| ClumsyCriminal | And then ceased working... | 09:24 |
| ClumsyCriminal | So, I have no way of reverting, nor can I get it to recognize anything I give it, such as ini directions, extensions, etc =/ | 09:25 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Any idea? Or just a clue of how I can begin debugging this? | 09:25 |
| Rory | ClumsyCriminal: Can you remove phpbrew? | 09:25 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Well, I'm not entirely sure how | 09:25 |
| ClumsyCriminal | It's not an aptitude package | 09:25 |
| ClumsyCriminal | I had a very basic init script | 09:25 |
| ClumsyCriminal | And I went through it, and can't seem to figure it out | 09:26 |
| ClumsyCriminal | But then again, I'm not 100% sure where Ubuntu gets all of the scripts it runs on startup | 09:26 |
| Rory | ClumsyCriminal: How did you install it? | 09:26 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Let me make sure I'm not telling you something incorrect, one sec | 09:26 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Yes, ok, all I did was wget the binary, copy it over to /usr/bin, and then run their init script | 09:26 |
| ClumsyCriminal | The contents of which, let me see | 09:26 |
| ClumsyCriminal | They were very basic, I'll summarize | 09:27 |
| Rory | ClumsyCriminal: Could you reinstall the php packages from Ubuntu over the top? | 09:27 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Yeah, it just exported a bunch of environment variables | 09:27 |
| Rory | !lamp | ClumsyCriminal | 09:27 |
| ubottu | ClumsyCriminal: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 09:27 |
| ROPA | the function keys on my Dell 15R laptop do not control the screen brightness and it can't be controlled from the brightness control in the setup. I found an answer, which involves an edit of the grub configuration file, but it did not work. Anyone have any ideas???? | 09:27 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Rory, do you have any suggestions for how? The problem is that it's apparently running something at startup, since Apache's config files are not altered, I've checked. However, the served version of php is now 5.3 | 09:28 |
| ClumsyCriminal | I've tried simply rerunning the init script, to no avail =( | 09:28 |
| Rory | ClumsyCriminal: what's the output of "which php" ? | 09:28 |
| ClumsyCriminal | That's the funny thing | 09:28 |
| ClumsyCriminal | It's 5.5 | 09:28 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Whereas Apache is serving 5.3 | 09:28 |
| Rory | the output of "which php" is "5.5" ? | 09:28 |
| ClumsyCriminal | oh, sorry | 09:29 |
| ClumsyCriminal | No, I was thinking php --version | 09:29 |
| ClumsyCriminal | my mistake | 09:29 |
| ClumsyCriminal | it's /usr/bin/php | 09:29 |
| ClumsyCriminal | I believe...yes, it is | 09:29 |
| FloodBot1 | ClumsyCriminal: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:29 |
| Rory | OK ClumsyCriminal if you make a phpinfo page it will tell you about the PHP Apache is using http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-test-php-installation-with-a-phpinfo-page/ | 09:29 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Yes, I have done so, and it's calling 5.3. | 09:30 |
| Rory | What's the path to the PHP binary Apache is using? | 09:30 |
| ClumsyCriminal | How can I check that, please? | 09:30 |
| Rory | If possible, could you share your phpinfo ? | 09:30 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Well, the phpinfo I have set in apache's sites-available is not the one being displayed in phpinfo | 09:30 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Which would you like? | 09:30 |
| Rory | errr | 09:31 |
| Rory | whatever one is the result of a php page displaying the phpinfo(); method | 09:31 |
| ClumsyCriminal | The one it's actually displaying is for ~/.phpbrew/. OK, shall I just pastebin it? | 09:31 |
| Rory | Yeah sure | 09:32 |
| cousteau | can't boot graphically since last software upgrade | 09:32 |
| cousteau | dmesg says something about the nvidia driver and kernel version mismatching | 09:32 |
| cousteau | (I use the nvidia 304 driver from repositories) | 09:33 |
| ClumsyCriminal | OK, one sec, I'm getting to it. Oh, actually, another thing I've tried before I do that is manually setting the PHP ini script in sites-available. And it displays the one I ask it to in phpinfo(). However...it still won't use the correct binary | 09:33 |
| ClumsyCriminal | OK, Rory | 09:35 |
| ClumsyCriminal | You can find the contents of the served php.ini file here: http://pastebin.com/Rkx01i40 | 09:35 |
| Rory | ClumsyCriminal: OK can you make available the phpinfo html page? is this on a public-facing server? | 09:35 |
| ClumsyCriminal | No, it's a local server, unfortunately | 09:35 |
| ClumsyCriminal | I'll just pastebin the contents, one sec | 09:36 |
| cousteau | NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 304.108, but this kernel module has the version 304.88. Please make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version. init: lightdm main process (995) terminated with status 1 | 09:36 |
| ClumsyCriminal | http://pastebin.com/c0YnHJGt | 09:36 |
| ClumsyCriminal | That's phpinfo() | 09:36 |
| Rory | OK ClumsyCriminal it's using a config file in /home/logan/.phpbrew/php/php-5.3.24/etc | 09:37 |
| ClumsyCriminal | Let me check, one sec | 09:38 |
| cousteau | any hint? should I just reinstall nvidia-304 package? | 09:38 |
| Rory | ClumsyCriminal: Find any ocurrences in your apache config files: "find /etc/apache2/ | grep phpbrew" | 09:38 |

| merandus | Hello, i'm trying to do "sudo lshw -c disk" but the program phreezes, and only shows me "pci (sysfs)" | 09:53 |
| SomethingElse | Thank you so much! Can we tip you somewhere? | 09:53 |
| merandus | i have no idea why it does that. i want to list my harddrives. | 09:53 |
| jefersen | how do i install a github project? | 09:55 |
| geirha | jefersen: There's no one procedure for that apart from "follow the instruction of the README file" | 09:58 |
| varunendra | merandus, what kind of info do you need about your hard disks? Are 'fdisk' or 'parted' unable to show that? And how long did you wait after 'lshw'? | 09:58 |
| merandus | varunendra: i waited for like, 30 seconds. i don't know how to list them with fdisk or parted. my VPS provider attached a hard drive, and i want to make it into a partition | 09:59 |
| Rory | SomethingElse: 1MLouy5U2y9Jc54knfCK1t8LXXJr9SeuzJ | 10:00 |
| SomethingElse | Cool | 10:01 |
| Rory | SomethingElse: But seriously, glad you got it working | 10:01 |
| varunendra | merandus, so is it a new hard disk that you want to partition? | 10:01 |
| SomethingElse | Well, it's progress, it looks like phpbrew is still interfering, but I'll bet I can figure out the last little bit | 10:01 |
| SomethingElse | At least it's serving something correct now! | 10:01 |
| SomethingElse | As odd as it is, it still has control of pecl | 10:01 |
| SomethingElse | =/ | 10:01 |
| Rory | SomethingElse: If you just removed the ~/.phpbrew directory, all those config files would be gone | 10:02 |
| merandus | varunendra: yeah. my machine had a 20 gb, i requested more hard, and they added a new one, but i need to add it to the system | 10:02 |
| Rory | SomethingElse: or just mv ~/.phpbrew ~/.phpbrew.old | 10:02 |
| SomethingElse | Oh, just remove it and logout/login? | 10:02 |
| merandus | varunendra: i was googling to m ake progress, but lshw -c disk hangs on me | 10:02 |
| jefersen | geirha: it doesn't say anything about how to install it | 10:03 |
| Rory | SomethingElse: Should just be able to restart apache "sudo service apache2 restart" | 10:03 |
| jefersen | geirha: just about how it should be used | 10:03 |
| jefersen | geirha: https://github.com/pkrumins/xgoogle | 10:03 |
| SomethingElse | So, maybe you can educate me on something...all of those environment variables that phpbrew exported, they won't actually do anything until called by a script, correct? | 10:04 |
| SomethingElse | Because I'm looking through the init script it uses, and it has a bunch of perl calls looking for those env vars | 10:04 |
| varunendra | merandus, lshw just lists hardware. If you are not very well versed with commands, I suggest you install Gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted) and use it to partition your hard disk. It is already installed on the Live CD/DVDs of Ubuntu | 10:04 |
| cousteau | bug #1262752 has taken me quite a while to fix in my PC | 10:04 |
| ubottu | bug 1262752 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates (Ubuntu) "nvidia_304 not blacklisted or removed when nvidia_304_updates is installed." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1262752 | 10:04 |
| merandus | varunendra: i have only ssh access, command line that is. | 10:04 |
| cousteau | couldn't boot graphic mode; managed to figure out that I had to uninstall nvidia-304-updates | 10:04 |
| varunendra | merandus, and to list the connected hard disks, use either of these commands - "sudo fdisk -l" or "sudo parted -l" | 10:04 |
| Rory | SomethingElse: You can view all your environmental variables with the "env" command; could you show me what the script is? | 10:05 |
| varunendra | oh, okay.. then I'll have to look back at the man pages of fdisk/parted myself, unless someone else can help with the commandline :P | 10:05 |
| varunendra | merandus, ^^ | 10:05 |
| SomethingElse | Sure, I'll pastebin it | 10:05 |
| Sven_vB | SomethingElse, env vars cannot be called, just their values can be read or set. | 10:05 |
| Sven_vB | SomethingElse, they won't do anything on their own. | 10:06 |
| SomethingElse | Thank you, Sven_vB | 10:06 |
| Sven_vB | SomethingElse, however, consider that some shells do magic based on some env vars. | 10:06 |
| merandus | varunendra: psudo parted -l works well it seems | 10:06 |
| SomethingElse | http://pastebin.com/z8HrKwgX | 10:06 |
| varunendra | merandus, did it list your new drive? | 10:07 |
| SomethingElse | Yes, I ran into that wall today, Sven_vB! | 10:07 |
| merandus | varunendra: it shows me one disk which is vmware type disk, then there are 2 numbers, the first one is 20 gb and is marked boot, but the second one is not | 10:07 |
| SomethingElse | BTW....I'm somewhat clueless, but I could not figure out HOW phpbrew was being called upon startup every time. How would I go about tracking that down? | 10:07 |

| Rory | SomethingElse: It's that init file | 10:08 |
| Sven_vB | SomethingElse, startup mechanisms include /etc/rc.* and the various crontabs | 10:08 |
| merandus | varunendra: just a sec | 10:08 |
| SomethingElse | How was the init file being called? I added a line to source it from my .bashrc, but I thought that was only called when I actually opened a terminal? | 10:08 |
| SomethingElse | Or is a terminal opened behind the scenes on startup to run gnome? | 10:09 |
| merandus | varunendra: http://pastie.org/8620053 | 10:09 |
| SomethingElse | Actually, I also commented out the sourcing, now that I think of it, and it still was running...so confusing to me | 10:09 |
| Rory | SomethingElse: Honestly I don't know much about phpbrew, it looks like just an init script that will just write various paths to php.ini | 10:09 |
| SomethingElse | It would have been so nice had the developers of phpbrew written in something to, you know, *undo* all of that | 10:10 |
| diverdude | Hello, i try to ssh to my machine but when i enter the password i get this back: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6725802/ I have the correct username/password because i can log in with that locally. What am I missing? | 10:10 |
| Rory | diverdude: Are you connecting to the correct user? | 10:10 |
| Rory | diverdude: ssh username@hostname | 10:11 |
| diverdude | Rory: yes i am | 10:11 |
| Sven_vB | SomethingElse, to see if those vars are set on the level of your window manager, let it execute sh -c 'env | sort | xmessage -file -' | 10:11 |
| diverdude | Rory: i have triple checked that | 10:11 |
| Rory | diverdude: Can you show me the full command you run, and the output? | 10:11 |
| Rory | Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel | 10:11 |
| varunendra | merandus, not sure if anyone would believe, but my current speed is .8 KB/s (awesome gprs !!) :( | 10:11 |
| SomethingElse | Oh, look at that. Xmessage, huh? Very nice | 10:12 |
| merandus | varunendra: aww, no problems, mine is only 20k faster than yyou | 10:12 |
| Sven_vB | SomethingElse, env vars are forgotten when the topmost process that had them set, exits. an easy way to ensure that env vars are forgotten is to reboot. | 10:12 |
| varunendra | merandus, ok, opened up (finally). But it is showing only one disk, the older one ? So maybe the second one is not attached yet. | 10:13 |
| SomethingElse | Well, I think I should go ahead and do that. Unfortunately, it looks like my pecl extensions are all gone now. Hopefully the reboot will magic them back to life =) | 10:13 |
| merandus | varunendra: i can see three numbers in there, i think those are the disks? i mean there is three 20 gbs. | 10:13 |
| SomethingElse | Oh it not good enough to just logout and log back in? It requires a full reboot? | 10:14 |
| diverdude | Rory: here it is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6725814/ | 10:14 |
| Sven_vB | SomethingElse, depends on the scope where the vars had been set. | 10:14 |
| varunendra | merandus, they are start/end boundaries. Look at the "size" column. | 10:14 |
| cff | Why there is no support for ppm in Ubuntu version of avconv? | 10:15 |
| SomethingElse | Well, this has been a painful experience, but I think I'm a better person for it, so it's all for the greater good, right? Going to reboot now. Thank you, everyone! | 10:15 |
| Rory | diverdude: What is the operating system of the target server? | 10:15 |
| merandus | varunendra: 2 20.9GB 21.5GB 535MB extended | 10:15 |
| merandus | 10:15 | |
| varunendra | merandus, you have 20.9 GB main partition, and a 535 MB swap in extended partition. That's all there. | 10:15 |
| diverdude | Rory: fedora|6 | 10:15 |
| diverdude | 16 | 10:15 |
| merandus | varunendra: oh. | 10:16 |
| Rory | diverdude: I don't know how to configure it, but you might need to ensure the user can log in over SSH | 10:16 |
| Rory | diverdude: Maybe by default, users on fedora cannot | 10:16 |
| merandus | varunendra: will this command show all available disks then? | 10:17 |
| varunendra | merandus, I believe so. Even if it is a virtual hard disk, it seems it is not yet attached to the virtual machine. Check "sudo fdisk -l" to confirm. | 10:18 |
| merandus | varunendra: http://pastie.org/8620086 | 10:20 |
| merandus | varunendra: what are those sda2 and sda5? | 10:20 |
| varunendra | merandus, sda2 is the Extended partition, which is a kind of container which can contain logical partitions. The sda5 is the logical partition inside it. The extended partition is part of the traditional (MBR based) partitioning scheme which can not have more than 4 'Primary' partitions, hence the provision of 'Logical partitions' inside an extended one. | 10:22 |
| merandus | varunendra: wow. that made sense. thanks | 10:23 |
| merandus | varunendra: probably i have to call them again, since the drive is not there | 10:23 |
| varunendra | merandus, yup, confirmed. The new disk is not yet attached. I'm confident with fdisk that it can show the attached disks even if they are raw (not partitioned yet). | 10:23 |
| merandus | varunendra: thanks lots | 10:24 |
| varunendra | merandus, no problem :) | 10:24 |
| varunendra | merandus, one more thing - parted is more advanced than fdisk, and easier to use. I suggested fdisk only because I have more experience with it. | 10:25 |
| === Siya_ is now known as siya | ||
| merandus | varunendra: can you also make partitions with parted too? | 10:26 |
| varunendra | merandus, sure, that's what it is meant for. Take a look at "man parted", especially the 'mkpart' command of it. | 10:27 |
| varunendra | merandus, one of the best partitioning tools - Gparted - is just a GUI frontend of parted. | 10:28 |
| merandus | varunendra: oh nice. sounds easier than fdisk | 10:29 |
| merandus | varunendra: well, i think i'm done with this vps provider, so frustrated with it. i'm not a linux expert, just a dj trying to run a radio server | 10:29 |
| varunendra | merandus, look for others then ? Maybe ask for suggestions in a suitable channel? | 10:31 |
| merandus | varunendra: yeah im gonna change it soon | 10:31 |
| iwantoski | I'm trying to comment out a line with a matching word using see, but I keep failing the expected result: sed -e '/test-arg/s/^/#/' file | 10:39 |
| iwantoski | I except that to put a # in file, yet nothing happens :/ ? | 10:39 |
| === Guest87119 is now known as r_lex | ||
| helmut_ | hi | 10:45 |
| varunendra | iwantoski, try "sed '/test-arg/ s/.*/# &/' - note there is a space after "..-arg/" | 10:46 |
| varunendra | iwantoski, I hope you know that it will show the change only in the stdout. If you want to change the file, use "sed -i...." - which is probably not a universal method, but works on Ubuntu. | 10:48 |
| iwantoski | hah, I just read that in the man .. ! My bad. | 10:48 |
| varunendra | iwantoski, man page for sed? Is it sufficient for you ? :P | 10:49 |
| iwantoski | well, sorry again. I meant from the help (-h) | 10:50 |
| iwantoski | I'm new to this :s | 10:50 |
| varunendra | iwantoski, this is the best starting point for learning sed : http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html | 10:51 |
| newb_ | yo what is the best book to learn basic linux command line stuff? | 10:51 |
| iwantoski | thanks varunendra | 10:52 |
| varunendra | iwantoski, you're welcome :) | 10:52 |
| varunendra | newb_, learning linux command is probably learning bash shell. So look for that instead | 10:52 |
| newb_ | do you have a book you recommend? | 10:52 |
| newb_ | im new to CS and ubuntu, using it right now and want to learn more about how to do cool stuff | 10:53 |
| streulma | newb_ just for ask, which version of Ubuntu do you use? 13.10 or 12.04 ? | 10:56 |
| varunendra | newb_, I'm searching the online html bashref guide. I don't know of a good book though. Although I'm sure there are a few others keep recommending here. | 10:56 |
| newb_ | 12.04 | 10:56 |
| knightshade | newb_: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide | 10:56 |
| varunendra | newb_, this is the one I was looking for. So far working 100% for me : http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html | 10:56 |
| newb_ | thank you guys I have much to learn | 10:56 |
| newb_ | I will check out these sources | 10:56 |
| varunendra | newb_, "Practice makes a man Perfect" :D | 10:56 |
| streulma | I think to use 12.04 but I found it a little bit old | 10:56 |
| varunendra | oops! I scared them :P | 10:56 |
| thoonai | hey | 10:57 |
| thoonai | my ubuntu 12.04 doesnt have the tun module ... | 10:58 |
| thoonai | how is it possible that it got away? | 10:58 |
| cean26994 | hello room | 11:02 |
| cean26994 | anybody here | 11:02 |
| cean26994 | i just wnt to ask what is the key for bios dor ubuntu | 11:02 |
| krux | thoonai, have you tried loading it modprobe tun | 11:03 |
| chemist^ | cean26994, the bios key is always the sam | 11:03 |
| chemist^ | same... no matter which OS you install | 11:03 |
| cean26994 | What is it? im new in ubuntu :) | 11:03 |
| chemist^ | it's not OS related... | 11:03 |
| StarlightFX123 | Hi guys. Can anyone help me. I'm really in trouble. | 11:03 |
| chemist^ | your computer manufacturer has set that up | 11:04 |
| chemist^ | cean26994, type your computer model number on google and type BIOS key | 11:04 |
| varunendra | !anyone | StarlightFX123 | 11:04 |
| ubottu | StarlightFX123: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 11:04 |
| chemist^ | usually it's the delete key or F2 or F10 or F12 .. while you're computer starts to boot | 11:04 |
| StarlightFX123 | I'm telling git to take my ssl-certificate. But when I try to do "git clone" I ghet the error message: "unable to access 'https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb.git/': GnuTLS recv error (-9): A TLS packet with unexpected length was received." | 11:05 |
| StarlightFX123 | I don't know how to solve that problem. | 11:05 |
| amr_ | hi all | 11:06 |
| Diehard | amr_: welcome | 11:06 |
| cean26994 | i will update you guys thanks | 11:06 |
| StarlightFX123 | Is there anybody who has an idea how to solve my problem? | 11:07 |
| amr_ | thx | 11:07 |
| Rory | StarlightFX123: Looks like a bug in pycurl, there's instructions here http://stackoverflow.com/a/13524391/736253 | 11:07 |
| cean26994 | aargh | 11:08 |
| cean26994 | i cant connect to the bios i want to reinstall windows in my dad's laptop | 11:08 |
| chemist^ | cean26994, what are you talking about??? | 11:08 |
| chemist^ | cean26994 what computer does your dad have? | 11:09 |
| cean26994 | Lenovo G405 | 11:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | !patience | StarlightFX123 | 11:09 |
| ubottu | StarlightFX123: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 11:09 |
| cean26994 | and i want to reinstall windows in it cos he's having hard time using ubuntu. the problem is i cant connect to the bios of ubuntu and it is the only OS in the laptop | 11:10 |
| chemist^ | cean26994, you shutdown your dad's laptop, power it on again and immidiatly press the F1 key repeatedly untill the BIOS setup comes up | 11:10 |
| chemist^ | cean26994 you're not getting things right now... | 11:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | StarlightFX123: that error suggests githubs cert isnt trusted. how to fix that i don't know tho | 11:10 |
| chemist^ | BIOS is not part of UBUNTU! | 11:10 |
| cean26994 | :( | 11:11 |
| cean26994 | ok brb | 11:11 |
| varunendra | cean26994, you don't connect to "BIOS" of an OS, it is the firmware program inside the CMOS chip on your laptop's motherboard. It has nothing to do with what OS is installed on the Hard disk. | 11:11 |
| chemist^ | cean26994, BIOS is a thing that's installed on your laptop whether you install ubuntu or windows or nothing... bios is still gonna be there :) | 11:11 |
| cean26994 | hello guys | 11:12 |
| StarlightFX123 | hitsujiTMO: Has anybody an idea how to make the github-key trusted for my system? | 11:12 |
| chemist^ | and you do not connect to it... you access the bios setup while rebooting your computer and pressing the BIOS SETUP access key | 11:12 |
| chemist^ | which is F1 for your dad's laptop | 11:12 |
| cean26994 | thanks. I am redirected to a black screen | 11:12 |
| Rory | StarlightFX123: Looks like a bug in pycurl, there's instructions here http://stackoverflow.com/a/13524391/736253 | 11:12 |
| cean26994 | Ubuntu 12.10 xxx-lenovo-g405 tty1 | 11:13 |
| chemist^ | you did not press the right button | 11:13 |
| Rory | cean26994: Turn the computer off. Turn it on, and hold F1 until you see the BIOS screen | 11:13 |
| chemist^ | or you were too late | 11:13 |
| cean26994 | ok | 11:13 |
| Rory | cean26994: This is unrelated to Ubuntu, you are pressing this button before Ubuntu boots | 11:13 |
| cean26994 | wait. thanks for ur patience | 11:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | cean26994: try reading the manual http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_guides/g410_g510_ug_en.pdf | 11:14 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: No. It's not a pycurl problem. wget and curl are working. | 11:14 |
| chemist^ | when the system is turning on, quickly keep pressing the F1 key.......although....on your screen there should be a notice somewhere saying "Press F1 to enter setup" | 11:14 |
| chemist^ | or something else instead of F1 | 11:14 |
| chemist^ | cean26994 | 11:14 |
| chemist^ | but yes i agree with hitsujiTMO ... try reading the manual first ;) | 11:15 |
| Rory | StarlightFX123: Well if those instructions don't work, then I have no idea sorry | 11:15 |
| StarlightFX123 | Like i said: I'm using a self-signed ssl-certificate and I'm connecting over a proxy. But I don't know what's causing the problem. | 11:16 |
| cean26994 | Im here on BIOS :) | 11:16 |
| thoonai | krux: yes I tried, no result | 11:16 |
| Rory | StarlightFX123: Could you just use a different method like ssh instead of HTTPS? | 11:16 |
| cean26994 | Thank you guys i want to install windows whats next in the steps | 11:17 |
| Rory | cean26994: Put your Windows installation disk in the drive, set the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive | 11:17 |
| cean26994 | my windows cd is on the drive now what shoud i do next | 11:17 |
| cean26994 | ok | 11:17 |
| Rory | cean26994: Then ask ##windows for more instructions | 11:17 |
| chemist^ | cean26994 oh dear... | 11:18 |
| Rory | cean26994: (you're accidentally asking these questions in the Ubuntu support channel) | 11:18 |
| DJones | cean26994: I'm afraid this channel only deals with Ubuntu support issues, for more detailed help installing windows, you're better asking in ##windows | 11:18 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: Then it asks me for the "passphrase" of the "pem"-certificate. | 11:18 |
| cean26994 | I am all fine now. thank you guys :) | 11:18 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: But I don't know the passphrase | 11:18 |
| Rory | StarlightFX123: OK, so you must have set your ssh key up with a passphrase originally | 11:18 |
| cean26994 | Thanks for the patience and info :) | 11:18 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: Yes. It's imported into firefox and works. | 11:19 |
| chemist^ | cean26994, installing windows should not be that much of a problem, just follow the instructions ... but as said by others, this is NOT an Ubuntu related question | 11:19 |
| cean26994 | Thank you and mabuhay from the Philippines :D | 11:19 |
| pingu | hi, i am trying to update ubuntu 10.04 server to 12.04.1 but running sudo do-release-upgrade in terminal gives me No new release found. How should I proceed with the upgrade? | 11:19 |
| chemist^ | :) bye | 11:19 |
| Rory | StarlightFX123: Did you run the commands in the first link I gave you? | 11:19 |
| thoonai | it irritates me, that I can use a vpn solution basing on tun/tap but can't modprobe it | 11:20 |
| chemist^ | pingu, the right command is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:20 |
| chemist^ | i think... | 11:20 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: You mean the link from stackoverflow? | 11:20 |
| chemist^ | first you update your package info with sudo apt-get update ... of course | 11:20 |
| Rory | StarlightFX123: Yes | 11:21 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: It's definetly not a problem with "pycurl". Otherwise wget and curl wouldN't work, but they work perfectly. | 11:21 |
| makara | my sound has stopped working, 13.10 | 11:22 |
| pingu | chemist^: no, it is mentioned here https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html and yes I did sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade and then I ran do-release-upgrade | 11:22 |
| makara | there's now a 'dummy' interface ?? | 11:22 |
| makara | dumy output | 11:22 |
| chemist^ | pingu, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:22 |
| Rory | !sound | makara | 11:23 |
| ubottu | makara: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 11:23 |
| makara | i set sound to headphones, accept settings, reopen, and it's back on dummy output | 11:23 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: Sorry I lost connection. | 11:23 |
| chemist^ | pingu, the first sentence on that link is: There are several ways to upgrade from one Ubuntu release to another. | 11:23 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: So it's definetly not a problem with "pycurl" | 11:23 |
| pingu | chemist^: Are you sure it will work with ubuntu server? Won't dis-upgrade land me to 10.10? | 11:24 |
| chemist^ | pingu, so what you were reading is NOT the only way to do it | 11:24 |
| Nei | hi, can someone tell me if/where I can get the patches of http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/irssi as a series instead of just one huge [irssi_0.8.15-5ubuntu3.diff.gz] ? | 11:24 |
| chemist^ | pingu, it gives you a little more info before you initiate the actuall upgrade | 11:24 |
| Gavinmondo | Hello Ubuntu | 11:24 |
| chemist^ | so try it and see what will get upgraded | 11:24 |
| pingu | chemist^: ok thanks | 11:25 |
| Gavinmondo | This problem is so bad I'm almost forced to move all of my servers to debian | 11:25 |
| Gavinmondo | Hope this will reach someone at cannonical | 11:25 |
| Rory | Hello Gavinmondo, what is the problem? | 11:25 |
| StarlightFX123 | Rory: Have you any idea? | 11:25 |
| mjayk | Debian servers that does sound bad :p | 11:25 |
| Rory | StarlightFX123: Not past what's in that link | 11:25 |
| Gavinmondo | Rory: Ubuntu bug #1244176 | 11:25 |

| Gavinmondo | or cannonical does not care for the QA of their server images. | 11:26 |
| Gavinmondo | Nope | 11:26 |
| chemist^ | pingu, actually you're right | 11:26 |
| chemist^ | pingu, apt-get dist-upgrade will not upgrade your ubuntu to a new release | 11:26 |
| Nei | Gavinmondo: you should contact your canonical support @ http://www.ubuntu.com/management/ubuntu-advantage , whining on IRC doesnt help | 11:26 |
| Gavinmondo | Nei: ok | 11:26 |
| pingu | chemist^: dist-upgrade gave me this output http://pastebin.com/b8LdXw7j | 11:26 |
| chemist^ | you have to do sudo do-release-update | 11:26 |
| Gavinmondo | Nei: You do understand this is support for purchased support only | 11:27 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: It's a very annoying bug | 11:27 |
| pingu | yes i did sudo do-release-upgrade | 11:27 |
| Beldar | pingu, look up upgrade core | 11:27 |
| Gavinmondo | And on the current stable ISO on the release.ubuntu.com it's still the borked iso | 11:27 |
| chemist^ | pingu, type in: sudo do-release-upgrade | pastebinit | 11:27 |
| chemist^ | and paste the output please | 11:27 |
| === paddy_ is now known as paddy | ||
| Gavinmondo | And you are telling me that I'm whining and plus I should buy the support just to talk to someone | 11:27 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: I recommend finding a USB to PS/2 adaptor, or an old ps/2 keyboard | 11:27 |
| pingu | chemist^: ok | 11:28 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: If your priority is getting it installed | 11:28 |
| Nei | Gavinmondo: orr http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/trusty-server-amd64.iso | 11:28 |
| Rory | !trusty | 11:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 | 11:28 |
| Rory | That is not appropriate for production | 11:28 |
| Gavinmondo | Rory: Why is it that the fix commited being changed to fix released is being done by a user less then 1 month old | 11:28 |
| Nei | or wait some while longer eventually it will be fixed | 11:29 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: Could you link me to the specific comment in question? | 11:29 |
| Gavinmondo | Nei: Your asking people to use pre-alpha daily image of a future LTS | 11:29 |
| Gavinmondo | Or just buy support? | 11:29 |
| mjayk | Gavinmondo: I think hes telling you to this is a question asking channel not a complaints channel | 11:29 |
| pingu | chemist^: here is the output http://pastebin.com/bVdj02jQ | 11:29 |
| Gavinmondo | mjayk: It's a honest question | 11:29 |
| bittyx | Hi! I can successfully mount a windows network share on my linux by mounting, for example, //192.168.0.5/foo to /mnt/foo. However, the machine at 192.168.0.5 also has other shared folders, such as bar and baz. Can I somehow mount the machine itself, so as to easily be able to access all shares? Trying to mount just //192.168.0.5 doesn't work. Thanks! | 11:29 |
| Gavinmondo | On why the fix commited to released is being posted by a one month old account | 11:30 |
| Nei | Gavinmondo: there is the bug, it has been confirmed, it has been fixed for the future release which hasnt happened, this IRC channel cant do much more ;( | 11:30 |
| chemist^ | pingu upgrading can always bring something bad, depending on your current system configuration ... thought of making a new clean install? | 11:30 |
| chemist^ | with the latest version? | 11:30 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: I think perhaps if you upgrade the system prior to installation, it might work? | 11:30 |
| bittyx | Ideally, I'd like to mount 192.168.0.5 to /mnt/windowsbox, so that I can access /mnt/windowsbox/foo, /mnt/windowsbox/bar, etc. instead of having to mount each of those (foo, bar, ...) individually. | 11:30 |
| mjayk | Gavinmondo: not really a question a community channel can answer more of a statement or a question for canon | 11:30 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: Boot from the DVD, switch to a different TTY and run "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" | 11:30 |
| Gavinmondo | So everyone here is a volunteer helpers | 11:31 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: Yes | 11:31 |
| Gavinmondo | and not affiliated with Ubuntu | 11:31 |
| pingu | chemist^: i have some services running that's why i thought of upgrading | 11:31 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: No more than you are | 11:31 |
| Gavinmondo | How do I get in touch with Cannonical? | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: email, post etc.... phone call | 11:32 |

| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: the usual stuff really | 11:32 |
| mjayk | Gavinmondo: not affiliated with cannon try their website | 11:32 |
| Gavinmondo | I see sorry for causing the troubles ubuntu were free after all | 11:32 |
| Gavinmondo | This issue sure is difficult to overcome | 11:33 |
| Nei | some issues are pretty frustrating | 11:33 |
| Nei | especially if they affect you | 11:33 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: The easiest is definitely to look around some cupboards or whatever and see if you can dig up a PS/2 keyboard | 11:33 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: Are you in an office? | 11:33 |
| chemist^ | pingu i don't believe your services will keep running while you upgrade... | 11:33 |
| Gavinmondo | Not at the moment | 11:34 |
| Gavinmondo | Nor could I come across one easily | 11:34 |
| Gavinmondo | I've already tried the usual channels | 11:34 |
| Gavinmondo | but with no response at all | 11:34 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: I have a pot of PS/2 to USB adaptors, I wish I could give you one :P | 11:34 |
| Gavinmondo | Thanks for the thought | 11:34 |
| Gavinmondo | Just sad really to see my LUG moving completely away for this | 11:35 |
| Rory | Post on your LUG mailing list ^_^ | 11:35 |
| Gavinmondo | This was a desperate last ditch effort to contact someone from cannon | 11:35 |
| Gavinmondo | Being focused on ubuntu touch and the move to add amazon affiliate ubuntu to my LUG is now toxic to the LUG | 11:36 |
| Gavinmondo | Which is sad to see | 11:36 |
| Gavinmondo | We've been ubuntu fans since feisty fawn | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: can you get the installer to where it wants input, then attach the keyboard? | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: did you set the USB to be in legacy mode in BIOS? | 11:37 |
| Gavinmondo | Both yes | 11:37 |
| Gavinmondo | No good | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: do you have the latest BIOS if your system uses one? | 11:37 |
| Gavinmondo | The latest provided | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: have you tried resetting BIOS to default settings | 11:37 |
| Gavinmondo | Yes | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: have you tried different USB ports for the keyboard? | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: have you tried different USB keyboards? | 11:38 |
| Gavinmondo | ActionParsnip: This is a confirmed bug and it's for many USB keyboards? | 11:38 |
| Rory | ActionParsnip: It's a fairly old, known issue | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Rory: I see | 11:38 |
| Rory | ActionParsnip: It's actually a fairly embarassing bug | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: are there any boot options you can pass in grub regarding USB? | 11:38 |
| Gavinmondo | Enough to have few LUG's move away from ubuntu completely | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Rory: I can imagine, not seen it myself | 11:38 |
| Gavinmondo | ActionParsnip: No | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: that's their choice, that is a freedom of the OS :) | 11:39 |
| Gavinmondo | And it's still present in the trusy daily | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: have you tried Ubuntu minimal ISO? | 11:39 |
| === hub is now known as Guest96306 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | its there too ActionParsnip | 11:39 |
| Gavinmondo | ActionParsnip: Choice to gimp their server iso's? | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: I dont know what that means | 11:39 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: You could maybe use the minimal or desktop images | 11:40 |
| Gavinmondo | Cannon has gimped their latest server iso | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: what does 'gimped' mean? | 11:40 |
| Gavinmondo | minimal is also problematic | 11:40 |
| Gavinmondo | and desktop editions are a no go for this is meant to be a lean server OS | 11:40 |
| Gavinmondo | gimped = self harm | 11:40 |
| Gavinmondo | Not gonna trouble you good guys on the community help | 11:41 |
| Rory | Gavinmondo: Try the minimal iso | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: you could install the desktop OS, then uninstall the X server and the GUI apps will fail deps and be marked for removal. You can then remove those with: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove then reboot | 11:41 |
| Gavinmondo | Did | 11:41 |
| streulma | is 13.10 better then 12.04 ? | 11:41 |
| anuvrat | hi | 11:42 |
| Gavinmondo | ActionParsnip: it would still keep alot of other packages still installed | 11:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | the issue also affects the desktop install. makes it unable to enter luks password at initramfs | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | streulma: 'better' is an opinion, 12.04 is LTS wheras 13.10 is not | 11:42 |
| chemist^ | streulma, you should try it out with a live CD and find out yourself :) | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: ALL the GUI apps will remove as the X server is essential for them all to run | 11:42 |
| chemist^ | which one you like better | 11:42 |
| Gavinmondo | Rory: minimal has the same problem | 11:42 |
| streulma | or is it already the moment to tryout 14.04 ? | 11:42 |
| Gavinmondo | As the launchpad bug also states | 11:42 |
| Gavinmondo | streulma: no | 11:43 |
| anuvrat | I have two laptops both running ubuntu 13, is it possible to add one of them as a display to the other? I mean like a monitor connected via vga / hdmi. | 11:43 |
| Gavinmondo | I won't do that | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | streulma: if you are competent with your OS, yes | 11:43 |
| makara | Debian has the same problem http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=726957 | 11:43 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 726957 in initramfs-tools "initramfs-tools: Please include `ohci-pci` after `ohci-hcd` split to use USB keyboard to enter LUKS password" [Critical,Fixed] | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: does the USB issue happen in 12.04? | 11:43 |
| Ippxs | ls | 11:43 |
| Gavinmondo | I do not know really | 11:43 |
| Gavinmondo | But for us we can't create a usb drive install to work | 11:44 |
| Gavinmondo | There is an issue where dd,unetbootin and several other usb creators won't make a usable image on USB | 11:44 |
| Gavinmondo | makara: I see | 11:44 |
| Gavinmondo | And the one provided by cannon is horrible | 11:44 |
| Gavinmondo | Just horrible | 11:44 |
| chemist^ | Gavinmondo, what kind of OS are you trying to make on a bootable usb? | 11:45 |
| Gavinmondo | Ubuntu 12.04.3 | 11:45 |
| Gavinmondo | LTS | 11:45 |
| chemist^ | you should use the "startup disc creator" in ubuntu, it worked ok with me | 11:45 |
| Gavinmondo | chemist^: That software is awful | 11:45 |
| Gavinmondo | Barely works | 11:46 |
| chemist^ | define awful | 11:46 |
| Gavinmondo | And also to note that won't work for ubuntu servers | 11:46 |
| chemist^ | It worked for me :) | 11:46 |
| Gavinmondo | It's only for desktops from my experience | 11:46 |
| Gavinmondo | If I'm wrong I will give it a try | 11:46 |
| Gavinmondo | But there is a bigger picture to this | 11:46 |
| chemist^ | well then burn a CD | 11:46 |
| chemist^ | what's the big deal | 11:46 |
| Gavinmondo | chemist^: The servers we're using doesn't have usb to CD | 11:47 |
| Gavinmondo | chemist^: Thanks for the suggestion though | 11:47 |
| chemist^ | usb to CD ? | 11:47 |
| Gavinmondo | chemist^: hahaha | 11:48 |
| Gavinmondo | hahahaha | 11:48 |
| makara | hehehee | 11:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gavinmondo: also if you have a rooted android phone look into drivedroid | 11:49 |
| chemist^ | Gavinmondo, i think i've managed to get the thing working with unetbootin | 11:49 |
| Gavinmondo | chemist^: ?? | 11:49 |
| Gavinmondo | hitsujiTMO: For what exactly? | 11:49 |
| makara | you're not short of options | 11:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gavinmondo: it mounts an iso on the phone and emulates a cd device on the usb. I use it for my install images | 11:51 |
| Gavinmondo | makara: ?? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:51 |
| Gavinmondo | interesting link? | 11:51 |
| makara | you came here looking for options | 11:51 |
| Gavinmondo | ActionParsnip: sha256 | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: cool | 11:51 |
| Gavinmondo | md5 isn't good enough for verification anymore anyways | 11:51 |
| chemist^ | Gavinmondo i used unetbootin to make a bootable usb storage, and installed ubuntu server on my box | 11:51 |
| chemist^ | with it | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: its fine for a quick check | 11:52 |
| Gavinmondo | chemist^: 12.04.3 x64 | 11:52 |

| Gavinmondo | Very interesting | 11:52 |
| Gavinmondo | Seriously? | 11:53 |
| makara | why are you not using virtualization anyway? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: networks are pretty robust nowadays, I'd say so. Millions would agree, millions would disagree | 11:53 |

| Gavinmondo | chemist^: hahaha | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: just wanted to see if you had checked the data was good, that's all | 11:54 |
| Gavinmondo | makara: Issue seems to have been resolved on the latest debian minimal | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Gavinmondo: try reading between the lines a little | 11:54 |
| chemist^ | what are you laughing at? | 11:54 |
| chemist^ | are you high or something? | 11:54 |
| Gavinmondo | ActionParsnip: Understood | 11:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gavinmondo: could always try a debootstrap install | 11:55 |
| apb1963 | Gavinmondo: Any chance of mounting a storage device? Possibilty of using debootstrap | 11:55 |
| apb1963 | oops... hitsujiTMO beat me by that much | 11:55 |
| Gavinmondo | debootstrap .... googling | 11:55 |
| Gavinmondo | ahh | 11:56 |
| Gavinmondo | Not a bad idea | 11:56 |
| Gavinmondo | Indeed does sound like a better idea to KVM or bootstrap ubuntu's rather then to use it as a base OS | 11:56 |
| Gavinmondo | Which is indeed sad for my LUG group | 11:56 |
| Gavinmondo | Thanks for the suggestion apb1963 hitsujiTMO | 11:57 |
| Gavinmondo | If any of you have any ties to cannon just please let them know that the issue 12441 is embarrassing for them and debian has already patches and re-rolled an image that works | 11:58 |

| makara | thoonai, should be an option on your control panel | 12:01 |
| Gavinmondo | makara: Where can I get the iso where the issue is resolved? | 12:01 |
| Gavinmondo | makara: Fix released status has been changed by a one month old user | 12:02 |
| Gavinmondo | and even some comments say that it is not fixed | 12:02 |
| Gavinmondo | so where is the fix? | 12:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gavinmondo: its fixed in future release. sadly canonical don't roll back the fixes to already released iso's | 12:02 |
| makara | Python could learn a thing or two from canonical | 12:03 |
| makara | they'll never get rid of Python 2 | 12:03 |
| theadmin | makara: Eh, it's being slowly phased out, sadly SO much software runs on Py2 that porting it all will take forever | 12:04 |
| makara | time to move forward | 12:04 |
| makara | Gavinmondo, understand the difference in culture between Ubuntu and Debian | 12:04 |
| Gavinmondo | True | 12:04 |
| theadmin | Anyway, images are re-released only for the LTS versions now and then | 12:04 |
| Gavinmondo | makara: So to you it makes sense of having a broken iso being released | 12:05 |
| theadmin | Gavinmondo: What exactly is broken | 12:05 |
| makara | just get and old release and update: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.2/ | 12:06 |
| theadmin | Gavinmondo: I can pull in the latest packages from the repos and build an image for you if you'd like | 12:07 |
| Gavinmondo | From 12.04.2 to 13.10? | 12:07 |
| Gavinmondo | theadmin: how? | 12:07 |
| theadmin | Gavinmondo: Eh... There's this handy tool called UCK, Ubuntu Customization Kit. It's normally used to build custom images, but just applying updates to a stock image works too :D | 12:08 |
| thoonai | makara: nevermind | 12:08 |
| Gavinmondo | interesting | 12:08 |

| varunendra | edudx, if you think the keys don't work because of xbindkeys, just open the configuration file and remove the existing bindings that may be interfering. Or disable it from startup altogether. | 12:35 |
| edudx | varunendra but I already remove xbindkeys, but what configuration file ? | 12:38 |
| lila | sory, :) im first time on IRC.... im try to find a solution for "Makefile:28: /src/Makefile_linux26x: No such file or directory" - im trying to instal TG-3269 lan card... | 12:38 |
| varunendra | edudx, it is usually ".xbindkeysrc" file in your Home folder. But if you have removed the application, the configuration files and their effects should be gone too. | 12:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | lila: looks like an old driver module for linux 2.6. can you paste output of: lspci -nn | grep Network | 12:41 |
| varunendra | edudx, if you also installed xbindkeys-config, there may be another folder ".xbindkeys_config/speed_c/" in your home. The hotkeys saved using the GUI are saved there. Check that as well. | 12:42 |
| lila | hm... "lspci -nn | grep Network" resulted no output * result from lspci is "06:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

| varunendra | edudx, if the application and the files have indeed been removed, I doubt it was xbindkeys that affected the shortcuts. It is effective only as long as 'xbindkeys' (/usr/bin/xbindkeys -f <configuration file>) process is running in the background. | 12:49 |

| makara | Bauer1, what happens when you just logout | 13:24 |
| Bauer1 | makara: I didnt try as that will close everything open, but I think then it will come back to the normal user selection screen | 13:25 |
| Bauer1 | should I test anyway? | 13:25 |
| makara | Bauer1, i don't know what's happening, but what are you trying to accomplish? | 13:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | Bauer1: Not that it should affect it, but do you have autologin enabled? | 13:26 |
| makara | it's easy to change user in command line | 13:26 |
| makara | can you just get your business done there | 13:26 |
| makara | ? | 13:26 |
| Bauer1 | makara: I am trying to switch account, my wife has a separate profile, but in last week she cant switch to it | 13:27 |

| makara | 13.10 ? | 13:27 |
| Bauer1 | hitsujiTMO: I dont believe so, login always waits for me to pick.. besides our profiles are protected with password | 13:27 |
| makara | do you do updates? I've been getting some weird behaviour recently too | 13:28 |
| Bauer1 | yes makara, in fact I just updated few mins ago | 13:28 |
| === Drink-CocaCola is now known as EricSpensor | ||
| Bauer1 | and btw the bug with alt-shift not changing typing language is still present in 13.10 | 13:28 |
| Bauer1 | unbelievable | 13:28 |
| Bauer1 | I dont even know against which package to report the bug with switching account.. I never saw any explanation how to figure out the correct package | 13:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | Bauer1: thats not a bug afaik, they just changed the key bindings. | 13:30 |
| makara | Bauer1, you reboot often? | 13:30 |
| Bauer1 | makara: I try to never reboot, but my current uptime is 7 days | 13:31 |
| cfhowlett | Bauer1, is your system encrypted? | 13:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Bauer1: can you try: dm-tool switch-to-user <wifes username> | 13:31 |
| Bauer1 | cfhowlett: hmmm, how to be sure? but I think so | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | Bauer1, I think we might have a winner. | 13:32 |
| Bauer1 | hitsujiTMO: nothing seems to happen from that command. should I run it as root? | 13:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | Bauer1: no. that should work as is | 13:33 |
| Bauer1 | well, then nothing.. not even errors | 13:33 |
| makara | Bauer1, you realise this is difficult territory. Not something I would bet they'd be focused on what with new graphic system on the horizon | 13:34 |
| Bauer1 | makara: what new graphic system are you talking about? | 13:34 |
| makara | byebye X system | 13:35 |
| makara | Mir | 13:35 |
| Bauer1 | why making new system? everything works on X... | 13:35 |

| EricSpensor | But I need to finish with someone's life | 13:37 |
| makara | Bauer1, is that a question? | 13:37 |

| Bauer1 | makara: both question and statement :P | 13:38 |
| EricSpensor | cfhowlett: can I ask ubuntu-releated questions? | 13:39 |
| Bauer1 | ok the alt-shift is fixed now back to default (why on earth they changed it, is beyond me) | 13:39 |
| Rory | EricSpensor: Yes, you can ask and answer support questions | 13:40 |

| makara | Bauer1, it's quite an unusual situation. I don't know anyone who doesn't have their own computer, or who has so much stuff open they can't logout | 13:42 |
| Bauer1 | makara: lol of course we have own computers.. we have 1 desktop (this ubuntu one), and 2 laptops, but sometimes she needs to use this PC | 13:42 |
| makara | Bauer1, get Tab Mix Plus add-on for your browser so you don't lose your tabs | 13:42 |
| Bauer1 | and I have stuff running, so we have our own profiles | 13:43 |
| makara | Bauer1, you could try X over SSH | 13:43 |
| Bauer1 | makara: no worries about that, chrome keeps my tabs. do you want me to try to logout and see if the problem happens there? | 13:43 |
| YamakasY | strange my apt-mirror doesn't have the right version my preseed says... bull! | 13:43 |

| === timrc-afk is now known as timrc | ||
| makara | david38400, did you add the printer in All Settings > Printers ? | 13:48 |
| david38400 | makara: I think you may be right. Its so difficult to install a new one. In Linux mint it was always so easy, but Ubuntu 12.04 isn't | 13:49 |
| david38400 | makara: I think I did everything properly but when I send over to print nothing happens. | 13:49 |
| makara | Bauer1, if you can X over SSH, should be able to debug dm-tool | 13:49 |
| makara | david38400, the newer the distro the better for driver support | 13:50 |
| david38400 | makara: I have a virtual system so maybe I should just print using Window? | 13:50 |
| makara | david38400, print to PDF | 13:50 |
| david38400 | makara: My technician installed 12.04 only 2 months ago. Is there a better one as I am not too impressed | 13:50 |
| suess | installed xubuntu via usb, runs like a champ.. like it a lot compared to other distro's.. works well on my older machine **props | 13:50 |
| makara | david38400, 12.04 is only used for servers these days | 13:51 |
| Bauer1 | makara: how to try X over SSH? I dont recall the full syntax | 13:51 |
| makara | consider upgrading | 13:51 |
| theadmin | Bauer1: ssh -X | 13:51 |
| theadmin | ...a rather obvious flag eh. | 13:52 |
| david38400 | makara: I only use it at home so can you recommend a better easier one for my use. I don't have servers | 13:52 |
| theadmin | Bauer1: To be precise, ssh -X -p PORT IP-ADDRESS-OR-HOSTNAME | 13:52 |
| makara | david38400, 13.10 is the latest stable version of Ubuntu | 13:52 |
| david38400 | makara: I printed to file and then print ..... it says unable to locate printer - cups server | 13:52 |
| david38400 | makara: Is 13.10 better for use at home then, I find 12.04 a bit complicated after being used to Linux Mint | 13:52 |
| makara | david38400, what are you printing? You can print directly to PDF in many programs, eg GIMP, LibreOffice | 13:53 |
| david38400 | makara: It was a documente in LibreOffice | 13:53 |
| theadmin | david38400: You don't have to print from there, just click the "Export to PDF" thing | 13:54 |
| suess | oh forgot to mention mine is xubuntu 13... :) | 13:54 |
| makara | david38400, I usually tail about 3 months behind releases. I find that a safe gap. | 13:54 |
| theadmin | david38400: I would recommend staying with the LTS. They tend to be more stable and upgrading every 9 months doesn't sound all that fancy to me, personally. | 13:55 |
| makara | 12.04. Isn't that still Gnome 2? | 13:56 |
| compdoc | its unity | 13:56 |
| david38400 | theadmin: what is LTS | 13:56 |
| theadmin | makara: Unity is used since Oneiric (11.10), although it's only ever worth using since 12.04 because 11.10 was... weird. | 13:57 |
| david38400 | theadmin: I don't have an option Export to pdf | 13:57 |
| theadmin | david38400: Long-Term Support release, they are released every 2 years and are supported for 5 years. | 13:57 |
| theadmin | david38400: 12.04 is the current LTS version. | 13:57 |
| Bauer1 | makara: ok, I managed to login to my wife's account using ssh -X | 13:57 |
| Bauer1 | what does that mean? what next? | 13:57 |
| theadmin | david38400: It's in the File menu for me, are you of sure? | 13:57 |
| Danato | hey is there a page listing ubuntu patched kernels similar to the linux mainline kernels page? | 13:58 |
| theadmin | david38400: http://i.imgur.com/f0Ozg4m.png - is this option | 13:58 |
| djtorr3 | i'm using a Windows 8.1 host to run Ubuntu 64 bit Linux 3.10, using VirtualBox version 4.3.6 and associated guest additions. I have no problems running the virtual machine on one monitor, but when i try to add a second monitor both screens go black after the login screen | 13:59 |
| djtorr3 | i think it's a linux settings issue because I can get to the login screen with both displays working correctly | 13:59 |
| david38400 | theadmin:I found it but it doesn't print when I click on export to file.... it just wants to know where to file | 14:00 |
| Bauer1 | makara: ? | 14:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | djtorr3: you got enough vram set in the virtual machine? | 14:01 |

| makara | there is much on the Internet | 14:01 |
| djtorr3 | hitsujiTMO, 256 set | 14:01 |
| Bauer1 | makara: well, if you meant that as a workaround - thanks, it works nicely if I manage to teach her to use command line to login, and launch chrome etc :D | 14:02 |
| Bauer1 | but its not really a solution hehe | 14:02 |
| palmbeachgeek | qestion, when running netstat on an ubuntu 12.04 every few days i see tons of connected streams to 8912-9001 | 14:02 |

| david38400 | theadmin: I checked and this is the option I have but it doesnt send to the printer??? | 14:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | djtorr3: then you might want to look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log after it goes black | 14:03 |
| Bauer1 | makara: even on localhost, X via SSH is lagging (try youtube for example...) | 14:03 |

| theadmin | Bauer1: I did indeed miss that, though | 14:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | djtorr3: i don't think thats it. can you add a monitor after booting? | 14:07 |
| Bauer1 | theadmin: nope, it gives me the login prompt for MY password, and the switch user button darkens the screens for like 10 secs, but returns to the same screen and not user selection | 14:07 |
| theadmin | Bauer1: Oh, that's... odd. Very odd. Are you using LightDM? | 14:08 |
| djtorr3 | hitsujiTMO, unfortunately no. when i set the machine to two monitors and try to log in, it goes black and i'm unable to view anything | 14:08 |

| palmbeachgeek | anyone know why ports 8912-9001 are open/connected on fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 | 14:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | djtorr3: can you get up tty1 with ctrl + alt + f1 when you get the black screen? | 14:08 |

| david38400 | theadmin: I may be at the point to go back to Linux Mint..... I didn't have so many problems with it. My technican said Ubuntu 12.04 but I find it too complicated for me as a home enthusiastic. I don't need servers or anything like that. | 14:10 |

| palmbeachgeek | i killed 1180 and all the ports have returned to normal | 14:12 |
| theadmin | Emileneth: Buh. Let me check what package that belongs in | 14:12 |

| makara | Bauer1, so F1 does what? | 14:12 |
| theadmin | Like that makes sense... oh well Emileneth, use that instead | 14:12 |
| Bauer1 | makara: opens docs page for xchat :P | 14:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | palmbeachgeek: nothing i'm familiar with. try: which Master | 14:13 |

| makara | Bauer1, wouldn't you rather turn your desktop into a server, and have your laptops connect to services on the server? | 14:19 |
| Bauer1 | no makara , I just tested X via SSH on localhost like you suggested, and its laggy - youtube was lagging for example.. its not a good idea unfortunately, we are not in the era of thin PC for media streaming yet | 14:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | palmbeachgeek: btw, where did you get your iso from? | 14:20 |
| palmbeachgeek | hitsujiTMO from the site | 14:23 |
| makara | Bauer1, i don't mean you would X into the server. You would setup services like a proxy, file share, etc on the server. it would in fact speed up network | 14:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | palmbeachgeek: can you md5sum it and make sure its legit. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 14:24 |
| makara | Bauer1, in short, I don't know how to solve your user-switching problems | 14:26 |
| Bauer1 | makara: I actually tried that in the last year... I gave up on setting up samba to work easily from the laptops - it required using net use and specifically mounting the samba share with user/password of the linux box | 14:26 |

| hitsujiTMO | palmbeachgeek: then i doubt it. i can't see the linux kernrl openind such ports like that | 14:33 |
| makara | Bauer1, i've only used it for myself | 14:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | palmbeachgeek: can you reboot and see if the process becomes active again? | 14:34 |
| palmbeachgeek | ooo.. maybe they where orphaned man requests?? when i whereis master i get, /usr/share/man/man5/master.5.gz | 14:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | palmbeachgeek: why would man open ports? | 14:35 |
| palmbeachgeek | i didnt think it did.. thats why im asking. | 14:35 |
| palmbeachgeek | I-Node = port? | 14:35 |

| palmbeachgeek | lol. might of been someone at the office playing. it is the play server | 14:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | palmbeachgeek: thats certainly an interesting find | 14:41 |
| palmbeachgeek | it looks as if someone skimming a manual started install/playing with random daemons | 14:42 |

| Milkkky | HI When creating U dual Boot system With Ubuntu And WIndows 8 I must partition Part os the drive correct? | 15:21 |
| Milkkky | Of* | 15:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | Guest493: whats output of: cat /etc/issue | 15:21 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Install Windows first, make sure Windows is shut down properly, then the Ubuntu installer will partition for you | 15:22 |
| Milkkky | I udndertand But I have Wierd setup As My Asus Has already a few partitions (2 drives actualy One is a SSD and the other A HD) | 15:23 |
| Albert|2 | Hello everyone! | 15:23 |
| Milkkky | and i dont ubuntu 2 mess witht the wrong partition | 15:23 |
| Albert|2 | This is a good day, just installed ubuntu | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | expert: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wagungs/kali-linux2; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ncrack; sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d//wagungs-kali-linux2-precise.list | 15:23 |
| Albert|2 | Milkky can you tell me your problem? | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | expert: much easier | 15:23 |
| Rory | Milkkky: You can select a custom partitioning setup during the installation, and choose which partition to allocate to / yourself | 15:23 |
| Albert|2 | Guys what are the advantages of ubuntu over windows? | 15:24 |
| expert | ActionParsnip will try that, thank you | 15:24 |
| Rory | Albert|2: It's subjective, try asking #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:24 |
| Albert|2 | So... | 15:24 |
| Albert|2 | ? | 15:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | !ot | Albert|2 thats a discussion topic not a support topic | 15:25 |
| ubottu | Albert|2 thats a discussion topic not a support topic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:25 |
| Milkkky | Yes Im a bit nervous on Which partition to select as one Is a recovery partition, one an OEM partition, One an EFI partition | 15:25 |
| Milkkky | I suppose I choose to partition the Biggest healthy Partition? | 15:25 |
| Guest493 | ActionParsnip: worked, thank you | 15:25 |
| Milkkky | BIGGEST8 | 15:26 |
| Milkkky | srry | 15:26 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Generally, you would shrink the largest partition (the one with Windows on it), and then allow the Ubuntu installer to install itsself in the free space | 15:26 |
| Milkkky | correct | 15:26 |
| Milkkky | So Ubuntu will show me the sizes of each partition correct? | 15:26 |
| Milkkky | i read sda1 sda2 sd3 sda5 | 15:26 |
| Milkkky | if i remember | 15:27 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Yes, the LiveUSB includes the gparted partition editor | 15:27 |
| Rory | Milkkky: And the installer itsself allows you to resize partitions too, although it's easier to use gparted | 15:27 |
| Milkkky | Ok so then just pick the largest of the partitons | 15:28 |
| Milkkky | I allready used the Volume option and shrunk It | 15:28 |
| Milkkky | And i was actualy glad my touchscreen was working with Ubuntu Fine | 15:29 |
| Milkkky | Ubuntu Live that is | 15:29 |
| Rory | OK Milkkky so now when you select the installer there should be an option to install into the free space | 15:29 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Then it will set up its own partition in that space | 15:30 |
| Milkkky | Dont wanna partition the recovery partition | 15:30 |
| Milkkky | ok | 15:30 |
| Milkkky | I was gonna make my own partition with windows | 15:30 |
| Milkkky | But I think its wiser to let Live do it | 15:30 |
| Milkkky | But im still creating a a copy of the recovery drive to a USB :) | 15:31 |
| Milkkky | JUST in case | 15:31 |
| Rory | Yeah, nobody ever thought "oh I wish I *hadn't* taken a backup" | 15:31 |
| Milkkky | lol | 15:32 |
| Milkkky | I am using this guide http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2013/09/install-ubuntu-linux-alongside-windows.html | 15:32 |
| Milkkky | Basically straightforward | 15:32 |
| Milkkky | My Asus just has w wierd set up with two drives SSD and HD | 15:32 |
| Milkkky | both having partitions | 15:32 |
| Rory | It's pretty straightforward without a guide, the Ubuntu installer holds your hand every step of the way | 15:32 |
| Rory | It lets you choose which drive to use for resizing partitions and installing the bootloader | 15:33 |
| knightshade | and Rory holds your other hand :> | 15:34 |
| Milkkky | Yes. just dont wanna choose the *wrong* one | 15:34 |
| Milkkky | :P | 15:34 |
| Milkkky | lets all hold hands | 15:35 |
| Milkkky | together | 15:35 |
| Milkkky | XD | 15:35 |
| Rory | let's not | 15:35 |
| knightshade | :D | 15:35 |
| Milkkky | hahaha | 15:35 |
| Milkkky | i can use the um UGF is it firewall with Ubuntu right? | 15:36 |
| Milkkky | and OpenVPN will Run fine? | 15:36 |
| Rory | !ufw | Milkkky | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Milkkky: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 15:36 |
| Milkkky | UFW yes | 15:36 |
| babinlonston | Planning to Install Debian, Is it same commands what I'm using in Ubuntu ? Or will be different in Debian ? | 15:36 |
| Rory | !openvpn | Milkkky | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Milkkky: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 15:36 |
| Milkkky | I run OPENvpn on windoze | 15:37 |
| Milkkky | so | 15:37 |
| Rory | babinlonston: They're very similar, different repositories and package versions. They're both Linux, and they both have the same filesystems, shell etc | 15:37 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Yes you can use OpenVPN on Ubuntu | 15:37 |
| babinlonston | Rory: Can i Use apt-get install and etc ? | 15:37 |
| Rory | babinlonston: Yes, apt-get is a Debian thing | 15:38 |
| knightshade | ubuntu is like debian with spyware :> | 15:38 |
| Milkkky | wut | 15:38 |
| Rory | !fud | knightshade | 15:38 |
| ubottu | knightshade: Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt | 15:38 |

| MoK_ | hitsujiTMO: WOW, new user doesnt have the problem :) | 16:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | MoK_: so its some user setting or config file has gotten corrupt. have you installed ccsm? | 16:05 |

| hitsujiTMO | MoK_: go back to your userand run: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME | 16:06 |
| Milkkky | And when clicking install I also get "no root file system defined correct this from partioning menu" | 16:07 |
| LuiCal | hitsujiTMO: dont know if it is the full log file | 16:07 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Don't select new partition table | 16:07 |
| Milkkky | I won't! | 16:07 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Have you already created a new partition to install Ubuntu onto | 16:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | LuiCal: odd. can you try: pastebinit /var/log/syslog.1 | 16:08 |
| Rory | Milkkky: If not, don't use custom partitioning, select the option for Guided partitioning / use empty space | 16:08 |
| Milkkky | But I am getting that error no root file system found? | 16:08 |
| MoK_ | hitsujiTMO: Done, but didnt solve Problem with my old user. | 16:08 |
| Xzeion | i need to be pointed in the right direction. What should i be looking up if I want to get a python scrip to start at boot? | 16:08 |
| Rory | Milkkky: That happens in guided partitioning? | 16:09 |
| Rory | Xzeion: you should look up "ubuntu run script at boot" | 16:09 |

| Timbabob | Hello | 16:09 |
| Milkkky | I think I may need to make a partion with windoze | 16:09 |
| MoK_ | hitsujiTMO: Ubuntu 13.04 | 16:10 |
| Rory | Milkkky: select the option for Guided partitioning / use empty space | 16:10 |
| Xzeion | hitsujiTMO, ubottu thank you guys | 16:10 |
| Rory | Milkkky: the installer will create the partitions for you | 16:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | MoK_: sudo apt-get install dconf-tools | 16:10 |
| Milkkky | But why am i getting "no root aystem defined" | 16:11 |
| Milkkky | System | 16:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | MoK_: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ | 16:11 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Because you're using custom partitioning, and not defining a partition to be used as the root one | 16:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | MoK_: setsid unity | 16:11 |
| Rory | Milkkky: You can use custom partitioning and select a partition to use as "/" yourself if you want | 16:11 |
| Ackis | so far I've found at least two ways to load daemons (init.d and upstart), are there anymore ways? And is there an easy method to see everything that's being loaded, how it's being loaded, etc? | 16:11 |
| LuiCal | hitsujiTMO: sorry, it crashed again. It seems that only the mouse and keyboard stoped working, cause i could see all the chat discussions while it crashed. | 16:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | MoK_: after those 3 commands try and relog into your account | 16:11 |
| Rory | Milkkky: But the fact that you're asking what "no root file system defined" means shows you probably ought not to do custom partitioning | 16:11 |
| Milkkky | I don't see the partion that is the free one...let me look I'm at it atm | 16:11 |
| Milkkky | No I realised that I'm selectin the whole drive | 16:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | LuiCal: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:12 |
| Milkkky | Not a partition | 16:12 |

| Milkkky | Must be the sda\5 21 gig partion now that I'm looking | 16:15 |
| MoK_ | hitsujiTMO: Everything is fine now! Very Big Thanks! Just one last question, what was the problem? Some corrupt config files from compiz? | 16:15 |
| dn4 | I installed something with apt-get and now ubuntu won't boot proper; where are the logs for booting up located? | 16:15 |
| robinmholt | horrow: Also look at 'dmesg | more' to see if there is an out-of-memory issue reported which kills X. | 16:15 |
| LuiCal | hitsujiTMO: says: unable to read pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.1.log | 16:16 |

| horrow | just firefox | 16:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | LuiCal: please do: pastebinit /var/log/syslog.1 | 16:16 |
| Milkkky | Type ntfs is what? Anyways pretty sure its that one the other say "enviroment loader" "win 8 loader" | 16:17 |
| jhutchins | Nicko_: It's usually a good idea to provide at least a one-line summary of your problem before expecting people to click through. | 16:17 |
| MoK_ | hitsujiTMO: Okay, big thanks for your help! Bye. | 16:17 |
| robinmholt | horrow: Did you look at either of those things I asked you about? Those are the two most likely candidates that _I_ can think of. | 16:17 |
| horrow | omw | 16:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | MoK_: np | 16:17 |
| Nicko_ | jhutchins i am sorry...it just i dint want to flood the chanel :P well as i said before i had a problem formating usb sticks...i mean i could format them via right click of gnome 3 on the usb stick at File manager | 16:18 |
| Milkkky | How big a partition is recomened? | 16:18 |
| Nicko_ | but when the process completed...it was just unmount the usb volume | 16:18 |
| knightshade | Milkkky: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS | 16:18 |
| Nicko_ | and then it was like it never formatted when i used it again...with all the files still inside it | 16:18 |
| robinmholt | Milkkky: ntfs is 'NT' file system. It is the filesystem type that Microsoft sets their partitions to when they are not formatted as FAT?? | 16:18 |
| Milkkky | Ok that sounds.......right? | 16:19 |
| LuiCal | hitsujiTMO: sorry, just crashed again | 16:19 |
| dn4 | how do I get ubuntu to just boot into init 2 with out going to a gui | 16:19 |
| Milkkky | Its askong how big of a partition i want? | 16:19 |

| hitsujiTMO | LuiCal: lol. once again please do: pastebinit /var/log/syslog.1 && pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 16:19 |
| Milkkky | I'm not sure what size | 16:20 |
| horrow | no logs in xorg and isnt out of memory i have alot | 16:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | !text | dn4 | 16:20 |
| ubottu | dn4: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 16:20 |
| jhutchins | dn4: Disable the dm. | 16:20 |
| jhutchins | dn4: Usually lightdm | 16:20 |
| robinmholt | dn4: When the gui breaks the boot, can you still use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a text console login? | 16:20 |

| jamiedl | hey guys | 16:23 |
| yellabs-r2 | what would be the best video format to convert to from OGV video ( screen recorder ) to get the same quality | 16:23 |
| LuiCal | hitsujiTMO: sorry, crashed again | 16:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | yellabs-r2: any raw format | 16:23 |
| knightshade | Milkkky: you can go back and select "Install ubuntu alongside... ", so you don't need to do the partitioning yourself | 16:23 |
| tabris|away | yellabs-r2: a) OGV isn't a codec, it's a container format... | 16:23 |
| tabris|away | yellabs-r2: b) presumably among your better bets are Matroska container and x264 codec | 16:24 |
| Milkkky | Yes I did something else thays exactly it | 16:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | LuiCal: nothign interesting there. once again try: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:25 |

| ahmad | after i repaired it linux grub will be gone | 16:43 |

| ahmad | i've got to ask a few question | 16:46 |
| Xzeion | k | 16:46 |
| Diehard | ahmad: you are free to ask | 16:46 |
| ahmad | the link you gave me told me to mount and things | 16:46 |
| ahmad | i don't understand | 16:46 |
| Xzeion | hitsujiTMO, I did regester yesterday though.. | 16:46 |
| Diehard | ahmad: as long as you run from live cd, you have to mount your computers HDD in it .. you have to connect the drive to your live system to work with it | 16:47 |
| ahmad | how to do that? | 16:47 |
| Diehard | ahmad: to be honest it's for advanced users, maybe advanced administrators to play with filesystems like that | 16:47 |
| Diehard | ahmad: I'm not sure if you should do that if you're not familiar with these things | 16:47 |
| ahmad | its okay. all i wanted to do is to be able to log back into windows | 16:48 |
| Diehard | ahmad: or at least, you should backup everything or better completely image your drive somewhere so you can restore your state | 16:48 |
| ahmad | if worst come to worst | 16:48 |
| ahmad | ill delete the linux partition | 16:48 |
| compdoc | careful what you delete | 16:48 |
| ahmad | i will | 16:48 |
| Diehard | ahmad: you don't have to delete your linux partition, you will be able to log in to windows after repair and you can open your linux partition in windows after | 16:48 |

| dn4 | 13.10/macbookpro5,5/ where do I find the logs for that, it fails to go into something and the screen just turns into garbage | 17:08 |
| Xzeion | hitsujiTMO, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 17:08 |
| Xzeion | Diehard, I didnt think so | 17:08 |
| Diehard | Xzeion: install libjson0 libjson0-dev | 17:08 |
| Xzeion | i am using sudo apt-get install | 17:08 |
| Xzeion | ok | 17:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | Xzeion: what is exactly going on that you don't even have /etc/issue then? | 17:09 |
| Pici | Xzeion: Are you trying to build upstart from source? if so, why? | 17:09 |
| rostam | HI we have a few systems in the lab all have identical hardware (two ethernet ports) and software. I need to change the configuration of one the network interfaces (eth1). I like to do this as a deb pkg (I know how to create deb pkg) to automate the changes. The patch will change some of the networking files. Any suggestions how to do this please? thx | 17:09 |
| Xzeion | Pici, becaue thats what i found first i guess ?? | 17:09 |
| Diehard | rostam: why as pkg? you can script it and run in cron | 17:10 |
| Pici | Xzeion: 1) upstart should already be installed 2) it is in the repositories. | 17:10 |
| JoshStrobl | Xzeion: Usually upstart is pre-installed. If it isn't for some reason, you should be able to just sudo apt-get install upstart | 17:10 |
| JoshStrobl | You don't have to compile it from source. | 17:10 |
| Pici | Xzeion: You shouldn't normally need to compile anything from source. | 17:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | Xzeion: are you trying to compile all of ubuntu from source? would explain why /etc/issue doesn't exist | 17:11 |
| rostam | Diehard, I need to automate this task. Could the script be downloaded ad deb pkg? | 17:11 |
| Xzeion | hitsujiTMO, I got that to work. I started in home dir before. Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l | 17:11 |
| JoshStrobl | rostam - You could have a script that executes as root, uses wget to pull down a deb pkg, then use dpkg -i {file}.deb. | 17:12 |
| Diehard | rostam: you can automate download and run of the script :D | 17:12 |
| Pici | Xzeion: Upstart is most definitely installed then. | 17:12 |
| Xzeion | ok so apparently upstart IS installed and i am trying to do this the crazy hard way | 17:12 |
| Pici | sounds like it | 17:12 |
| JoshStrobl | Xzeion: yep | 17:12 |
| Scunizi | hitsujiTMO: did as suggested and purged nv 304 and reinstalled 319. now dmesg reports kernel version is 173 .. an older nv driver on the system. Do I keep purging those until the only thing left is 319? | 17:12 |
| Xzeion | now... "whew" ... How do i run it ? | 17:12 |
| JoshStrobl | You don't have to. It is an init system, runs by default typically. | 17:13 |
| Pici | Xzeion: Perhaps if you explained what you were trying to accomplish this would be easier. | 17:13 |

| hitsujiTMO | Scunizi: what gpu do you have? | 17:14 |
| Xzeion | someone mentioned upstart as the way to go so i googled it and led us all down the rabbit hole | 17:14 |
| rostam | JoshStrobl, Are you aware of any deb pkg that does similiar management changes so I can take a look please? thx | 17:14 |
| delac | Can anyone tell me why I dont have "Browse Files" option in the bluetooth menu on 13.10? It is there on 12.04 with same hardware. | 17:15 |
| spearhead_ | HitsujiTMO, that command won't generate url will it? | 17:15 |
| JoshStrobl | rostam: Honestly, since you're mainly changing network configuration files, it'd probably be best to just have a script that wget's the config file and moves it to the appropriate directory. A debian package is a bit overkill. | 17:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Scunizi: sorry: dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia | pastebinit | 17:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Scunizi: what gpu do you have? | 17:17 |
| Pici | Xzeion: You just need to create a new conf file then. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/22099/want-to-make-an-upstart-script-need-help-and-advice | 17:17 |

| JoshStrobl | ahmad: To answer your question, no, you can't make a live CD for Windows. No matter the version. | 17:19 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Correct. What are you getting, is it just booting straight into Windows? | 17:19 |
| Milkkky | Yes. | 17:19 |
| Rory | Milkkky: Yeah, boot from your other hard-drive, it's likey the Ubuntu installer put the bootloader on it. It is an easy option to miss | 17:20 |

| JoshStrobl | Someone mind helping ahmad? From what he PM'ed me, he can't access Windows, which sounds like an issue with GRUB (really, can we all just switch to syslinux already? :D). | 17:22 |
| JoshStrobl | Not really my area of expertise, I mainly deal with syslinux. | 17:22 |
| Milkkky | Now there is no option for any hd. Only when I have the usb plugged in. It must be a bios issue....this is way harder than this should be really | 17:23 |

| TheLordOfTime | cowbacon: wget -b maybe? | 18:47 |
| chemist^ | i think the & only allows you to issue other commands | 18:47 |

| TheLordOfTime | cowbacon: 'bg' doesn't seem to work with wget on the LTS. Having said this, `wget -o someoutputfile LINKTODOWNLOAD &` seems to have forked to the background correctly | 18:49 |
| cowbacon | ah ok, maybe thats my problem then. thanks for the help | 18:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | cowbacon: so does `wget -b ...` which is probably better | 18:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | cowbacon: `bg` says "wget: no job found". `wget somelink &` also correctly forks to the background | 18:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | cowbacon: but ultimately, when a program has its own "send to background" function you should probably use that | 18:51 |
| TheLordOfTime | cowbacon: `screen` or no `screen` | 18:51 |

| alansaul | Pici, Sorry that was a typo :P | 19:21 |
| milkkky2 | I can get much more accomplished by myself quite frankly i just wasted hours and you people are so damn snotty language and ask direct question. Like what is this highalschool ? For FUCK SAKE | 19:21 |
| alansaul | hitsujiTMO, By my webserver? like Apache? | 19:21 |
| Pici | alansaul: anyway, thats normally done with a reverse proxy within your web server. | 19:21 |
| robinmholt | alansaul: Are you saying you want to redirect a unix domain socket to a TCP socket? | 19:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | alansaul: yes. that would be an apache httpd or nginx config. | 19:22 |
| alansaul | Pici, That sounds interesting | 19:22 |
| alansaul | robinmholt, Ummm, no I don't think so. I think our company firewall blocks any ports which arent 80 or 8080, so we want to allow access to others via a url | 19:22 |
| Left_Turn | a unix domain socket is a PCs local socket provided by a unix-like OS? | 19:23 |
| buklemickbuk | my wifi keeps disconnecting, im using ubuntu 12.04, any help? | 19:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | alansaul: main issue you'll run into is if the proxied site uses absolute urls or root relative urls. Then it's going to give you some major headaches | 19:23 |
| alansaul | hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean, so my proxied site just being myserver.com:8080? | 19:24 |
| Aaron | buklemickbuk, are you getting any time off dmesg errors? | 19:26 |
| jhutchins | buklemickbuk: Not a lot of system software involved in that. If it connects, the linux layers are working correctly. If it disconnects, it's either a signal problem or the router/AP. | 19:26 |
| jhutchins | buklemickbuk: You can tru running the AP on a different channel. | 19:26 |

| robinmholt | alansaul: Could you use squid with a redirection helper? http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Redirectors | 19:27 |

| alansaul | Eeek! | 19:29 |
| Pici | robinmholt: a reverse proxy setup in the httpd is the standard way to do this, using squid isn't needed. | 19:29 |
| Aaron | yacc_, can you log in into a terminal? | 19:29 |
| Aaron | tt1? | 19:29 |
| robinmholt | Pici: OK. Never set that up before so I might need to learn some more. ;) | 19:29 |
| alansaul | Thought this would be easy :( I'll look into reverse proxies, I don't even know what webserver we're using though! I've just been lumped with this problem sadly | 19:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | alansaul: if your site myserver.com:8080 has pages that load resources by absolute url, then they will be requesting form the old address not the proxied address and will therefore break. Also if it uses root relative urls, then it will also have problems as your site is in a sub folder rather than the root. the guys in #httpd may be able to assist if this is the case | 19:30 |
| yacc_ | Aaron: only with nomodeset on the kernel. | 19:31 |
| Aaron | do that, yacc_ | 19:31 |
| Aaron | and try to give us a feedback of the error. | 19:31 |

| jhutchins | buklemickbuk: Well, look at the logs and dmesg and see if you can tell why it's disconnecting. | 19:33 |
| buklemickbuk | jhutchins, i dont know how to check any of those, is there a command i can run in the terminal? | 19:33 |
| jhutchins | vanea: Possibly #bash, but prepare to have your script heavily criticized. | 19:33 |
| alansaul | Grr this is driving me crazy, I don't even know the login for the original web server! I've only been given access to the servers the web server gets feeds from | 19:33 |
| g2m | hello | 19:33 |

| g2m | This is a test for connectivity | 19:34 |
| vanea | jhutchins: thx | 19:34 |
| alansaul | However, since all the ports are passing through one server, that seems to indicate that I need a link from myserver.com/9012 to myotherinternalserver.com:9012 | 19:34 |
| robinmholt | alansaul: Have you looked at something like: http://geronimo.apache.org/GMOxDOC11/configure-apache-httpd-as-a-reverse-proxy-modproxy.html | 19:35 |
| yacc_ | Aaron: well, plymouthd drops out kind of a little early, so I see for a moment the text boot log (two red [fail] but it goes away to fast), then it switches to a black screen, C-M-F1 => gives me the ubuntu prompt. | 19:35 |
| yacc_ | Aaron: As I have to admit having never got the knack for configuring WPA-PSK on the commandline, I'm a little bit stuck concerning access :( | 19:38 |
| JoshStrobl | alansaul: If you're using nginx, you can follow some of the code towards the nginx.conf example at http://wiki.nginx.org/FullExample. You can define a "server" that specifically listens to the port you want and use location / and proxy_pass to forward to somewhere else (whether it's an internal I.P. or a different domain) | 19:39 |
| alansaul | I wish I knew which webserver I was using (at the moment I don't even have access to it via ssh!), is there any quick way of checking which web server is serving it so I can do some research prior to getting root access? | 19:41 |

| robinmholt | yacc_: I remember having a problem similar to that many years ago with a Dell laptop. I think I added 'nomodeset' to the boot command line and the problem went away, but it has been a _VERY_ long time. | 19:46 |

| Left_Turn | i dunno.. B.T is my ISP.. and im on ethernet cable | 19:54 |
| yacc_ | OerHeks, in the early days, a router fragmented packets as needed. Now adays, Path MTU discovery mandates "Don't fragment", and if something happens to eat the required ICMP error messages (as some people have done on their border router to handle ping amplifying DoS attacks, incorrectly filtering all types of ICMP messages), MTU path detection can be quite broken. | 19:55 |

| gordonjcp | azamat: don't use ftp | 20:25 |
| azamat | what do you mean? | 20:26 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: it's horribly insecure | 20:26 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: you've just sent your password in plaintext over the Internet | 20:26 |
| jasonp | Gotango, top is opening htop, whiich is what i usually use. it shows either lifetime total cpu usage or instantaneous cpu usage. where's running average? | 20:26 |

| Gotango | jasonp System Monitor | 20:27 |
| lokito-m | what is asmad | 20:28 |
| Karmahacker | shapow hi, i cant create the rule that will work for me^ i not that good with regex | 20:28 |
| shapow | Karmahacker: Let me look into your issue again | 20:28 |
| azamat | I already use SSH, but I need FTP for some reason | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: every sane ftp client supports sftp, and all you need for it is plain old ssh | 20:28 |
| ice9 | cinnamon crashes on 13.10 | 20:28 |
| azamat | just need FTP, I already have SSH/SFTP | 20:28 |
| rallevondalle | Merry Friday Ubuntu-guru's :) | 20:28 |
| jasonp | Gotango, again, that shows instantaneous usage per process, not running average, unless you know some secret i don't | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: what do you need ftp for? | 20:28 |
| shapow | Karmahacker: Not a problem, lets see what can be done. Iįøæ researching your issue atm | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: are you a time traveller, needing to upload files from the 1980s? | 20:29 |
| rallevondalle | I've been struggling for two days to get my computer (which used to be a hackintosh system) switched over to Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 running as a NAS. | 20:29 |
| lokito-m | i can start with asmad | 20:29 |
| azamat | gordonjcp, we have private VPS server, which world does not know about | 20:29 |
| rallevondalle | Having trouble with permissions and mounting of my disks, created in OS X 10.8.5 | 20:29 |
| azamat | we use it in team | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: is it on the public-facing internet? | 20:29 |
| azamat | gordonjcp, could you just keep calm if you can't help with the problem? | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | !attitude | azamat | 20:30 |
| azamat | maybe someone else will | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: don't use ftp | 20:30 |
| ilhami | Congratulations guys! | 20:30 |
| azamat | gordonjcp, I am not asking you what to use | 20:31 |
| vanishing | ^he can use whatever he want | 20:31 |
| ilhami | you have the channel with most users. :) | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | he could also post his admin username and password on reddit | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | doesn't mean it's a good idea | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | it'll have about the same effect | 20:31 |
| azamat | where did you see me posting pass? | 20:31 |
| Gotango | jasonp no secrets here. Try looking in synaptics. I dont care much about cpu average | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: you're setting up ftp, right? | 20:31 |
| vanishing | gordonjcp: use ftp=/=post username and password | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: ftp requires you to send your password as cleartext | 20:32 |
| rallevondalle | Can anyone help me change permissions of a disk and partitions created on OS X in Ubuntu? :) | 20:32 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: it's trivial to snoop | 20:32 |
| k1l_ | gordonjcp: i think we made clear that ftp is insecure. but if the user knows that its his decision | 20:32 |
| azamat | gordonjcp, we use VPN, which has encypted connection. Could you please stop teaching me on security? | 20:32 |
| rallevondalle | I've tried chwon but the discs are not writeable. I have installed hfsprogs and hfsutil and tried mounting it with hfsplus but it didn't function properly | 20:32 |
| Karmahacker | shapow i have the log string like that "** (vino-server:15192): WARNING **: VNC authentication failure from '83.143.8.110.vgccl.net'" | 20:33 |
| vanishing | rallevondalle: usually you'd change permission of the mount point, no? | 20:33 |
| vanishing | not the device itself | 20:33 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: okay, then getting back to your other problem | 20:33 |
| azamat | if you are so clever gordonjpc, go teach all those shared hosting giants who provide FTP access out of the box. | 20:33 |
| rallevondalle | vanishing, probably :) How does one go about that? Thanks man | 20:34 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: oh don't get me started | 20:34 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: they are responsible for all the r00ted servers used to send spam etc | 20:34 |
| k1l_ | azamat: drop that attitude. your behaviour is not appropriate, too, in here | 20:34 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: so you want to get PASV working | 20:34 |
| azamat | yes | 20:34 |
| Karmahacker | i create vnc.conf with " failregex = VNC authentication failure from <HOST> " | 20:34 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: one of your machines will *have* to be completely un-firewalled | 20:34 |
| Aspel | Ahoy, I'm new to all this stuff and I can't seem to get my wireless to work. I've got the little icon here http://i.imgur.com/qx5GSj1.png?1?3884 but it doesn't show my wireless. I actually went in and added it to the VPN connections, but it doesn't show up. I would take a screenshot of that specifically, but I can't seem to screenshot my menu. | 20:34 |
| azamat | you mean the server? | 20:35 |
| gordonjcp | not unfirewalled | 20:35 |
| gordonjcp | not NATted | 20:35 |
| Aspel | I've also tried pressing the wireless card button, but I'm assuming that's like prntscrn and the Windows button and just doesn't work on linux. | 20:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Aspel: start off with opening the terminal and providing us with the output of: cat /etc/issue | 20:35 |
| DrGrov | Evening | 20:35 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: the server generates some randomish port for the passive connection | 20:36 |
| azamat | I know | 20:36 |
| DrGrov | Trying here to get 12.04 LTS 32-bit for my father. I wonder, where do I find the correct md5sum for the image? | 20:36 |
| === keee is now known as w0rmie | ||
| vanishing | Aspel: to take a screenshot when you are in a menu, use scrot with timer :) | 20:36 |
| k1l_ | !md5sum | 20:36 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 20:36 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: so are all the ports accessible to the client? | 20:36 |
| Aspel | Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 20:36 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: if you're working over a VPN, chances are it behaves a bit like it's behind NAT | 20:36 |
| Aspel | Can I set scrot up to work on hitting the print screen button? | 20:36 |
| azamat | im my case, I put min 10100 and max is 10190 | 20:36 |
| k1l_ | DrGrov: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 20:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Aspel: next pastebin the output: lspci -knn | 20:37 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: right | 20:37 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: so can you actually connect from the client to the server on those ports? | 20:37 |
| azamat | I am not sure on that, but I think no | 20:37 |
| Aspel | http://privatepaste.com/85df428cd5 | 20:37 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: you could stop the sftp server and say "nc -l -p 10100" one the server | 20:37 |
| gordonjcp | and "nc <server> 10100" on the client | 20:37 |
| vanishing | Aspel: you can open up a terminal, type scrot -d 5 | 20:38 |
| vanishing | that will take a screenshot in 5 secs | 20:38 |
| DrGrov | k1l_: Thank you, found it. I wonder though, should 12.04 LTS run "well" on older hardware? Talking about something like a Pentium 4 with about 512MB RAM, approximately like that. | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | DrGrov: you should stick with Lubuntu then | 20:38 |
| DrGrov | k1l_: My father's only requirement is to have LibreOffice for writing. | 20:38 |
| gordonjcp | azamat: at that point you've set something up to listen on a port, and tried to connect to it, and if it doesn't work then you can start looking at if they're firewalled | 20:38 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: stick more RAM in | 20:38 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: actually, P4? | 20:38 |
| azamat | got it, checking. thanks | 20:39 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: throw it out, buy a nice new i3 | 20:39 |
| === anthony is now known as Guest21105 | ||
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Yes, a P4 IIRC. Should work well somehow. LibreOffice is a must though. | 20:39 |
| rallevondalle | vanishing, I'm trying to put the right string into my fstab, is something like this correct: | 20:39 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: in about six months the difference in electricity costs will have paid for the new computer | 20:39 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: I speak from experience here | 20:39 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Sorry but not interested at the moment in debating my father's preferences :) | 20:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | !bcm | Aspel have a read of this | 20:40 |
| ubottu | Aspel have a read of this: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 20:40 |
| Aspel | Woah, buzzing | 20:40 |
| DrGrov | Could I get LibreOffice to work in Lubuntu? | 20:40 |
| vanishing | rallevondalle: yes? | 20:40 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: I do understand what you mean but unfortunately it is a money question at the moment. | 20:40 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: should do, but Libreoffice needs quite a bit of memory | 20:40 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: stick as much RAM as you can in the P4 | 20:41 |
| rallevondalle | vanadis, sorry, sent it prematurely :) | 20:41 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Yes, unfortunately it requires much mem :( But GOffice should do the job I hope? | 20:41 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: I think the P4 runs XP well, has 1GB or 512MB. Not sure anymore, have not checked the inside :) | 20:41 |
| gordonjcp | 1GB ought to be enough | 20:41 |
| tbo | unetbootin sucks, at least when you use it on OSX and try the USB stick on an PC :( | 20:41 |
| gordonjcp | Xubuntu or Lubuntu ought to be okay on it | 20:41 |
| gordonjcp | if you've got 1GB go for Xubuntu, it's far less rage-inducing than Lubuntu | 20:42 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Which is preffered of those two in your opinion? Xubuntu probably? | 20:42 |
| gordonjcp | tbo: why on earth would you use unetbootin, when you've got dd? | 20:42 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Just thought that so | 20:42 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Just thought that a minimum requirement is to do decent word processing like MS Word. That is his only requirement, and some occasional mail and browsing. | 20:43 |
| k1l_ | DrGrov: xfce is not that lightweight anymore. i would try Lubuntu tbh | 20:43 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: that'll be fine then | 20:43 |
| tbo | gordonjcp: don't ask good questions | 20:43 |
| DrGrov | k1l_: Lubuntu it is then. | 20:44 |
| gordonjcp | tbo: I've never successfully used unetbootin to make a bootable USB stick | 20:44 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Glad to hear. He just needed a switch from Windows since the specs on the machine are a bit old to keep it running at optimal speeds. | 20:44 |
| DrGrov | One question though, he might have a virus or two on his computer. | 20:44 |
| tbo | gordonjcp: I did, but not on OSX | 20:44 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: also XP is dying in a few weeks | 20:44 |
| k1l_ | easiest way is to dd a *buntu image to a usb stick, imho :) | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | yup | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | less to go wrong | 20:45 |
| DrGrov | I thought to get a backup of his documents, check viruses first of course and then just copy from the external drive the stuff "back" to his new. | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: you can scan for viruses on Linux | 20:45 |
| rallevondalle | vanishing, UUID="040632d2-4fcb-3a78-9db1-9ac481becdea /media/OSXBOX hfsplus auto | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: that's only really more useful on servers | 20:45 |
| vanishing | k1l_: isn't there a create bootable usb stick tool in 13.10 now? | 20:45 |
| tbo | I tried Ubuntu on my old eeePC but I think it too much for the old machine, so I will try Lubuntu now | 20:45 |
| vanishing | gui one i think | 20:45 |
| DrGrov | Should I have to recheck everything, documents and such when I get his stuff on Lubuntu then? | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | tbo: 701? | 20:45 |
| suess | i used unetbootin for xubuntu no problem :) | 20:45 |
| tbo | gordonjcp: 1000H | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: no, it'll be fine | 20:45 |
| k1l_ | vanishing: there is the usb-creator thing, yes. | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: you won't need to bother after you get rid of XP ;-) | 20:46 |
| vanishing | yea, why not just use that :) | 20:46 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Okay, then I just copy the stuff over from his old computer and install Lubuntu over and copy back his stuff :) | 20:46 |
| tbo | gordonjcp: Ubuntu 13.10 works fine but it is slow I think | 20:46 |
| vanishing | rallevondalle: missing quotes? | 20:46 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: got a spare hard disk? | 20:46 |
| vanishing | rallevondalle: actually, you don't need quotes | 20:46 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: So there is no threats regarding documents, pictures and such? | 20:46 |
| rallevondalle | ok | 20:46 |
| rallevondalle | how do I reinitialize fstab ? | 20:47 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: easiest thing of all, is to stick another drive in, install Ubuntu onto that, and then copy off the XP drive and stick that in a safe place, just in case | 20:47 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Yes, I got a 320GB 2,5" in a USB holder so I can easily transport it and perfect for backup needs like this. | 20:47 |
| gordonjcp | how big is the drive that XP is on? | 20:47 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Probably 60 or 80GB IIRC | 20:47 |
| tbo | I'm currently seeding the lubuntu iso image | 20:47 |

| rallevondalle | hitsujiTMO, what about auto-mounting? | 20:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: second one. first has a char mistake | 20:48 |
| === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 | ||
| vanishing | it should automount if you have the entry in fstab i think | 20:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: what do you mean by auto mounting exactly? | 20:49 |
| rallevondalle | Mounting at startup, sorry :) | 20:49 |
| vanishing | rallevondalle: in that page i gave you, it says | 20:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: anything in fstab should automount by default. (hence the defaults option). | 20:49 |
| vanishing | auto - The filesystem can be mounted automatically (at bootup, or when mount is passed the -a option). This is really unnecessary as this is the default action of mount -a anyway. | 20:49 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: I could do it while on the live session before I install? The copying of the drive to the external? | 20:50 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: you could | 20:50 |
| gordonjcp | it might go a bit quicker, actually | 20:50 |
| rallevondalle | crud | 20:51 |
| rallevondalle | vanishing, mount: warning: /media/OSXBOX seems to be mounted read-only ? | 20:51 |
| jhutchins | vanishing: Actually, -a mounts all available filesystem whether they're marked "auto" or not. | 20:51 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Okay, downloading Lubuntu now then to see what gives. I wonder though, am I very restricted with Lubuntu when setting it up according to my father's preferences= | 20:51 |
| DrGrov | *? | 20:51 |

| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: to mount hfsplus as rw you need to disable journalling on the file system in osx | 20:52 |

| sweb | how can i reset my font cache ? | 20:52 |
| rallevondalle | hitsujiTMO, hmm, so back into OS X, then disable journaling and then back to Ubuntu? | 20:53 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: 13.10 is the preferred for Lubuntu or should I grab 12.04 LTS? | 20:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: yes, the default for hsfplus may still be ro, but you just have to add rw option to the fstab line in that case | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: I'd go with LTS for this | 20:54 |
| rallevondalle | ok, I'll try and then sudo mount -a :) | 20:54 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Great, how about this PAE or mini ISO or what I can choose from? | 20:54 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall | 20:55 |
| rallevondalle | hitsujiTMO, so "UUID=040632d2-4fcb-3a78-9db1-9ac481becdea /media/OSXBOX hfsplus defaults,rw 0 0" | 20:55 |

| happyface___ | happyface: sup! | 20:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: but otherwise yes that the correct fstab line to force rw | 20:56 |
| rallevondalle | it mounted now, but as ro - I haven't disabled journaling though, so it's probably that? | 20:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: yup | 20:56 |
| m_tadeu | hi...I need to make a video using some album photos....which tool you guys recommend? | 20:57 |
| rallevondalle | hmm, sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/OSXBOX | 20:57 |
| rallevondalle | mount: /media/OSXBOX not mounted or bad option | 20:57 |
| JoshStrobl | m_tadeu: Pitivi or OpenShot | 20:58 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Figured it out, sorry for mixing it up with a minimal install. | 20:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: "rw" might be a bad option since the journal is still in place | 20:58 |
| rallevondalle | Ok, I'll reboot, disable journaling and then return :) Thanks guys ! | 20:58 |
| m_tadeu | JoshStrobl: will try those...thanx | 20:59 |

| DrGrov | One minor thing I forgot to ask. My father has a Canon printer with scanning capability. Can that easily be configured in Lubuntu 12.04 ? | 21:10 |

| DrGrov | vanishing: Okay, it is a new model. Can not remember the exact model number. | 21:11 |

| vanishing | when you have a chance, you can check it on cups wiki page | 21:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: so it is mounted as rw now. so its file permissions that are preventing you from writing. | 21:12 |

| rallevondalle | I did make the "OSXBOX" folder myself, with "sudo mkdir" | 21:15 |

| gischy | i installed the zsh shell but it dont act interactive, can you help me? | 21:22 |
| rallevondalle | is that randomly generated when you install the system? | 21:22 |
| vanishing | if you specify the mount point in fstab, and mkdir that directory, make the directory belong to your current userid, you should be able to r/w | 21:22 |
| rallevondalle | vanishing, I'm trying to mount the volume OSXBOX, but the OS X installation is on LION. That's why I was pasting output from that Volume instead :) | 21:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | rallevondalle: what files do you want to write to? | 21:24 |

| rallevondalle | vanadis, yes, sorry that I didn't mention that :) | 21:25 |

| === ganesh is now known as Guest19684 | ||

| hitsujiTMO | fpghost84: unfortunately i'm not familiar with duplicity. it may have some option like --one-file-system what will allow you to add any folder, but not include other filesystems with that folder. any mountpoint in /mnt would be set by you. its the folder where you add permanent mounts for other drives. | 22:16 |
| fpghost84 | hitsujiTMO: currently the method I use to backup `/` is -"-exclude- globbing-filelist" to simply exclude dir like /proc and /dev and so forth, but it means it does not retain even the empty directories like /proc, I have to mkdir them back after the restore.... | 22:17 |
| fpghost84 | hitsujiTMO: I definitely have not added the boot-save or BootInfo mnt points in /mnt, strange, I think it must be a system thing | 22:18 |

| rallevondalle | tried to change the auto-login to "rallevondalle", the new user. Which did open up a new user. But it didn't seem to work as it should? | 22:22 |

| hitsujiTMO | fpghost84: not seeing anything in the man that you haven't already tried | 22:23 |
| fpghost84 | hitsujiTMO: could this kind of exclusion be done with plain old tar? (without using one file system that is)...I thought it might be just some kind of globbing command I was unware of perhaps...not sure...Then maybe it would also work for duplicitiy | 22:25 |
| vanishing | rallevondalle: can you pastebin both /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and /etc/fstab | 22:25 |
| rallevondalle | vanishing, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6729227/ | 22:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | fpghost84: tar has the --one-file-system option | 22:26 |
| fpghost84 | hitsujiTMO: yeah, I know it can be done that way, but surely there is a way to manually exclude directory contents, but not directory itself. Again, very naively I would have guessed something like "--exclude /dir/*" | 22:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | fpghost84: tar also has a number of exclude options, including --exclude=PATTERN | 22:27 |
| RandomStrayCat | Can someone help with partition tables? | 22:27 |
| fpghost84 | hitsujiTMO: Ah, some maybe PATTERN is the key here | 22:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | fpghost84: have a look at: tar --help | grep exclude | 22:28 |

| fartface | So I've got a single account on Ubuntu 12.04.03, administrator, and I've just changed the password using "passwd" in terminal. Now, whenever I try to enter a sudo command, it says my password is incorrect, whether I use the new, or the old password. Any ideas? | 22:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | !details | RandomStrayCat | 22:32 |
| ubottu | RandomStrayCat: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:32 |
| RandomStrayCat | So, I've been trying to 'dd' a freebsd .img stick for two days: here is what I got... sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M .....(md5sum if good) ........ sudo dd if=FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img of=/dev/sdb bs=64k conv=sync .... (boots fine with a xubuntu usb) .... (invalid partition table for the freebsd usb though???) | 22:33 |
| RandomStrayCat | I've tried freebsd 9.2 and 10.0 memstick.img | 22:34 |
| wolfzrat | hey anyone know the release date for ubuntu tv | 22:34 |
| rallevondalle | vanishing, mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is mounted on /media/21f868f2-1641-3c85-a797-64861a1de7c7 | 22:35 |
| k1l_ | wolfzrat: no release date so far | 22:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | RandomStrayCat: sudo dd if=FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img of=/dev/sdb on its own should work. if not then its an issue with the free bsd image itself | 22:36 |
| wolfzrat | ok, another question, ive seen that ubuntu can be run on a tablet, any idea how to do this, i saw it on ubuntu's website | 22:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | !touch | wolfzrat | 22:37 |
| ubottu | wolfzrat: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 22:37 |
| wolfzrat | and i can install it on any tablet? | 22:39 |
| k1l_ | wolfzrat: nope | 22:39 |
| wolfzrat | i have a samsung | 22:39 |
| vanishing | rallevondalle: ok, add this uuid entry to fstab, similar to the others, give it a mount point like /media/WOW | 22:39 |
| k1l_ | wolfzrat: #ubuntu-touch or #ubuntu-arm are the right channels for that issue | 22:40 |
| RandomStrayCat | hitsuji: I know, that is the problem :/ Maybe, i'll run a vm of free bsd and try 'dd' -- even though in theory that shouldn't make a difference. Before I do that though, is there a way to tell if FreeBSD setup the partition table is invalid (it is an older machine). | 22:40 |

| DrGrov | Hello hello again | 22:42 |
| DrGrov | I am now sitting at my father's place. The issue is that I can not boot from the DVD drive. I have a USB stick though which I thought I would put Lubuntu 12.04 on. Can I do that in Windows XP easily? | 22:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | fpghost84: cool. now repeat for /dev and /sys :P | 22:43 |
| RandomStrayCat | DrGov: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 22:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: use linux live usb | 22:44 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: I have no Linux live usb at hand. Or how do you mean? | 22:44 |
| fpghost84 | hitsujiTMO: yup :). Still confused about the boot-sav and BootInfo in /mnt though, they are definitely not my own mount points, yet each contains empty directories my the sbd1,2,3...partitions to be mounted into....Googling did not shed any light either...hmm | 22:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 22:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: that tool will turn put a live iso onto a usb | 22:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | fpghost84: maybe an app you've installed. | 22:45 |
| olf-folks | i like unetbootin for doing that | 22:45 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Great, that is exactly that I want :) | 22:46 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: I thought it would be easy as 1-2-3 but apparently not with the DVD not co-operating :/ | 22:47 |
| davidfourfour | Hey everybody. | 22:47 |

| Vunda | nema pojma niko | 22:47 |

| davidfourfour | Hi everybody. I just installed Ubuntu 13.1 two days ago. | 22:49 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Do I need to get the Lubuntu 12.04 ISO myself or can I get it within the Linux Live USB program? | 22:49 |
| Vunda | I assumed. | 22:50 |
| Vunda | :) | 22:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | DrGrov: i always grab the iso separately myself. that way i can try a different tool if that doesnt work | 22:50 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I want to mix these mp3 files based on their first three numbers. meaning 001* are all should be combined. Do you know how should I do this, if I would like to use cat? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6729335/ | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | mojtaba: mix how, exactly? | 22:52 |
| Viking667 | yeesh. Starting up Minecraft in fullscreen mode toasts the video. strange... | 22:52 |
| RandomStrayCat | Motjaba: I am not sure if this would work but... file1 >> file2>>file3 ... make back ups first | 22:53 |
| mojtaba | gordonjcp: e.g. first file is 1min, the second file starts from 1.01... | 22:53 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Okay, I will grab it then .Can I somehow check the md5sum just to be sure+ | 22:53 |
| DrGrov | ? | 22:53 |
| mojtaba | gordonjcp: I do not want to have overlap nor missing some parts of them. | 22:53 |
| gordonjcp | mojtaba: you could try catting them together | 22:54 |
| mojtaba | gordonjcp: I am not sure how should I implement cat exactly. | 22:54 |
| mojtaba | gordonjcp: I am very interested to use a for loop. | 22:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | !md5 | DrGrov | 22:54 |
| ubottu | DrGrov: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:54 |
| DrGrov | hitsujiTMO: Thank you :) I just told my father that it is time to change the computer sooner rather than later. This is a real pain to mess around with Windows XP :D | 22:56 |
| mojtaba | gordonjcp: Do you know how can I use for loop? | 22:59 |
| gordonjcp | mojtaba: not offhand, probably something like "for i in *.mp3; do cat $i >> out.mp3; done; | 22:59 |
| mojtaba | gordonjcp: The problem is that, they must be combined based on their first three digits. | 23:00 |
| mojtaba | gordonjcp: Do you know how can I use regexp? | 23:01 |
| DrGrov | I wonder though, could it be that the system is restricting the DVD drive to work? It seems to read the DVD, but nothing happens. Can that work in Lubuntu still somehow but not in XP? | 23:01 |
| RandomStrayCat | DrGov: How are you looking to loop. I know on the last three digits? But will it be like | 23:02 |
| RandomStrayCat | 001, 002 ,003 | 23:02 |
| RandomStrayCat | then 004, 005 006? | 23:03 |
| DrGrov | RandomStrayCat: How do you mean? | 23:03 |
| RandomStrayCat | When you are looping the function, will the first round be files 001 002 003, the second round files 004 005 006? | 23:04 |
| DrGrov | RandomStrayCat: It is strange that the DVD drive is not working at all in XP, just tells me to insert the DVD in drive. Can that somehow be rectified in Lubuntu and it just will work? | 23:04 |
| bekks | DrGrov: No. Ubuntu will not magically heal your hardware. | 23:04 |
| RandomStrayCat | DrGove: ^agreed, check to make sure it is on master on not slave :3. | 23:05 |
| DrGrov | bekks: Ah, I thought so. What might be an issue? It looks like it is reading from the DVD but just stops. Broken DVD? | 23:05 |
| bekks | DrGrov: BRoken dvd or broken drive. | 23:05 |
| RandomStrayCat | ^yep | 23:05 |
| RandomStrayCat | master/slave isn't the problem then | 23:05 |
| DrGrov | bekks: The DVD is not broken, just burned it 25 minutes ago on my own Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit. | 23:05 |
| bekks | DrGrov: That doesnt mean the DVD cannot be broken. | 23:06 |
| DrGrov | bekks: You mean the medium itself or the drive? | 23:06 |
| bekks | DrGrov: I said that either the dvd or the drive is broken. | 23:06 |
| DrGrov | bekks: Yes, I follow. | 23:06 |
| DrGrov | bekks: I might have to do some tweaking in BIOS to make sure, not too fancy to do it in the middle now but :) | 23:06 |
| bekks | DrGrov: BIOS has nothing to do with it. | 23:07 |
| DrGrov | bekks: Sorry, I do follow but feeling extremely tired. Ok, no BIOS. So I gotta open the case and check then it seems. | 23:07 |
| bekks | DrGrov: If you open the case of the drive you will break it. For sure. | 23:07 |
| chemist^ | Finally it's that time of the day, when i can smoke me a fat one ;)) | 23:07 |
| DrGrov | bekks: I mean opening the case of the computer, not the DVD drive. | 23:08 |

| qin | DrGrov: Since I am just spiling coffee rading it, do you think that testing burned DVD on 100% operational drive sounds logical? | 23:08 |
| DrGrov | But as long as I get Lubuntu installed via USB it is good. My father is not using any optical drives. Just word processing, mail and browsing. He is a simple man with simple needs :) | 23:08 |
| bekks | DrGrov: Opening your computer will not help you determining the wether the dvd or the drive is broken. | 23:09 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: did you get it installed? | 23:09 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: I have to re-download the Lubuntu 12.04 ISO since the DVD is not working at all. | 23:09 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: why redownload? | 23:09 |
| bekks | DrGrov: Just burn the ISO again, at a lower speed. | 23:10 |
| DrGrov | qin: Yes, it does. I am a retard, got too carried away. It is damn 1:10 AM here. | 23:10 |
| qin | coffee is gone now ;( | 23:10 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: can't the P4 USB boot? | 23:10 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: It sure can boot from USB :) | 23:10 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: do that then, CDs are crap | 23:10 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: I will, my father has simple needs :) | 23:10 |

| DrGrov | gordonjcp: Yes, now when reading it the third time I follow :) | 23:13 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: you can just take its hard disk out, put it in something that *does* boot off USB, install Ubuntu, and then swap the drives back | 23:13 |
| gordonjcp | DrGrov: get to bed | 23:13 |
| DrGrov | gordonjcp: I blame everything on me being extremely tired. | 23:13 |
