apb1963hitsujiTMO: Screenshot http://snag.gy/0ZYEX.jpg  Notice the SWAP column... the first process has 1.1G swapped out.00:00
catalase_MonkeyDust, i believe that apache 2.4.7 provides substantial benefit over 2.2.2200:01
GeeWizzHelping the community. Thats what I do.00:01
catalase_does Ubuntu believe that 2.4.7 is unstable and provides no substantial benefit?00:02
catalase_i think they are mistaken00:02
MonkeyDustcatalase_  dunno, I don't use it00:02
spearheadcatalase_, it probably just came out too late to be included... they might be including it in 14.04 but I'm not sure...00:03
mrpizzafaceI was wondering if anybody here could help me install UBUNTU 12.04 LTS on a 32 GB Flash Drive from  windows "not the live CD the ful Ubuntu installation"00:03
apb1963mrpizzaface: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/00:03
catalase_spearhead, when do you think they will release 14.04?00:04
MonkeyDustcatalase_  april00:04
k1l_catalase_: as its said in the name: april 201400:04
daftykinsmrpizzaface: grab universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com as apb1963 suggests00:04
mrpizzafaceapb1963: ill check it out00:04
catalase_k1l_, oh i did not know this00:04
spearheadcatalase_, the ubuntu release numbers are the year released and the month00:05
HisaoNakaidaftykins: Hey, tis, contrapunctus from a sec ago. Turned out I had photorec running alongside, causing gparted to fail 8|00:05
rwwi wish release numbers were 14/04 or something instead00:05

HisaoNakaidaftykins: (or that's what I think it was, for when I closed it, gparted worked after that)00:05

spearheadcatalase_, thus 13.04, 13.10, 14.0400:05
catalase_i see00:05
catalase_do you think i can manually upgrade to 2.4.7 apache?00:05
catalase_or would u advise against it00:06

catalase_i believe in me to, SchrodingersScat00:06
MonkeyDustcatalase_  ubottu told you how, but that it is at your own risk00:06
mrpizzafaceapb1963: so when i install the ubuntu installation to the USB will it be the live CD or the Full install where it will save me files ect. ect.00:06
GeeWizzBest be careful who you "believe" in.00:06
catalase_MonkeyDust, adding a ppa?00:06
apb1963mrpizzaface: Pretty sure it's the full install.. but I'd have to read the web page to be sure.00:07

I've been trying to set up an IM server to message people  within my LAN so I can securely talk to other in the house.. so I use this guide ( http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-setup-im-voip-server-using-openfire-ubuntu-1204 ) cause it seems to get me closer (more close then the openfire read me file) to having the service then anything else. But when I get down to the dpkg command , it says it can't find the program even though I change directo00:08
k1l_GeeWizz: please stick to ubuntu support in here00:08

hitsujiTMOapb1963: swap isnt swap space at all. swap = res + virt. virt includes the size of process's executable binary, the data area and all the loaded shared libraries. the same shared lib will get counted for every process that uses it. so counting the cumulative value is not reliable00:20
apb1963hitsujiTMO: so you're saying that, that SWAP column is meaningless in terms of calculating swap space used/needed?00:21
hitsujiTMOapb1963: exactly00:21
RavenHi, how can I rename devices plugged in to my machine? For instance, I want to rename a webcam.00:22
apb1963hitsujiTMO:  ok but it's saying that ONE process is using 1.1G ... so the fact that other processes are counting the same files is not important at the moment.   1.1G still a valid number in terms of swap spaced used, for that one process.  Yes?00:24
hitsujiTMOapb1963: but its not swap. it include all memory. its just a badly labeled column00:25
NictraSavios_I'm not sure if this query belongs here or Ubuntu+1, but since this question affects multiple distrobutions I think its very "general". My question is: Can the 14.04 daily be considered "reliable" (not stable, I know that awnser). Basically, is my system one day going to be comepletely broken and unusable, or will it just be bugs here and there? Which should I use if I have a hybrid gpu, 13.10 or 14.04?00:26
linguiniI have an ubuntu guest that occasionally fails to reboot.  I want to see messages from the kernel when it is rebooting rather than fancy splash screens so I can look for clues.  How can I do this?00:26
apb1963hitsujiTMO: then it's also badly documented.  The man page states "00:27
apb1963SWAP  --  Swapped size (kb)00:27
apb1963          Memory  that is not resident but is present in a task.  This is memory that has been swapped out00:27
apb1963          but could include additional non-resident memory.  This  column  is  calculated  by  subtracting00:27
apb1963          physical memory from virtual memory.00:27
FloodBot1apb1963: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.00:27
apb1963sorry floodbot, my bad.00:27
hitsujiTMOapb1963: my apologies. its virt - res. but the key here is to look at what virt is too.00:29
NictraSavios_P.S. If my question does belong in ubuntu+1, let me know please :).00:30
=== Raven is now known as Corvette
jeffryccan somone help me with my head set and kubuntu desktop  tey dont seem to work together00:30
k1l_NictraSavios_: if you need to ask about that, i would not suggest you use development releases.00:31
mrpizzafacei have a question if i start a VM running the Ubuntu live CD can i install from the live CD to a USB flashdrive00:31
hitsujiTMOapb1963: virt: It includes all code, data and shared libraries plus pages that have been swapped out and pages that have been mapped but not used.                        So it includes data thats neither resident in ram or swap. So its data that has yet to be loaded00:31
k1l_NictraSavios_: they are quite gut theese days, but there is always the chance that something will make the system not boot at all. i suggest you stick to 13.10 so far00:32
NictraSavios_k1l_, Heh, well its not exactly an obvious question. At least, I don't think so. Stability is obviously gone with a daily, but the impact on my daily work is not so obvious, since as you said, they are mostly trivial these days. But, alright, thank you!00:33
k1l_NictraSavios_: according to murphy the heavy bugs come in when you really need a running system :) in the end its your choice00:34
NictraSavios_k1l_, Haha, true! I guess as the releases get more tame I get more a sense of security with betas.00:35
hitsujiTMOapb1963: sorry, it includes the shared libs + data thats not yet loaded.                   hence the presumed bloat.00:35
=== CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away
=== DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ
apb1963hitsujiTMO: that's also confusing...  SWAP column is code+allocated data area+shared libs+swapped out pages?00:39
hitsujiTMOapb1963: +data that could potentially be loaded00:40
hitsujiTMOapb1963: -actual ram used00:40
Gallomimiahi is kernel 3.12 in the official release now?00:41
=== goose_ is now known as Guest47963
apb1963hitsujiTMO: isn't that covered by "allocated data area" ?  It can't know what data hasn't been loaded, unless it knows what data hasn't been loaded... a bit of a catch 22... so it would have to be pre-allocated by the program... i.e. static data areas within the program, used or not.00:42
Gallomimiamust be. autoremove is taking out kernel 3.1100:43
apb1963hitsujiTMO: Bottom line, it makes my head hurt and I don't think it's a useful number at this point.00:43
xangua!info linux | Gallomimia00:44
ubottuGallomimia: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.11.0.15.16 (saucy), package size 1 kB, installed size 33 kB00:44
hitsujiTMOapb1963: allocated data would be data that is loaded into mem. If you "open" a file on the drive, it doesn't necessarily mean it has to get loaded into memory, but it still needs to be addressed. that addressing space gets included in virt00:45
Gallomimiahuh... odd.00:45
=== LjL is now known as frenchtoast
apb1963hitsujiTMO: right. that's what i'm saying00:46
hitsujiTMOapb1963: yeah. so its a number you can typically ignore00:46
apb1963hitsujiTMO: anyway, as you already stated... SWAP is not swap.  :)00:46

PKKid2OMG this is insane! -- I just wrote a file to my home directory "imhere.txt" and reboot and now its gone.  My PC is definetly reverting state to some weird state on every reboot03:48
PKKid2installed software goes missing, dropbox keep redownloading everything03:48

PKKid2yes03:49
PKKid2im on it now03:49

PKKid2Do you know the name of it?03:49
DarthEaronhey, i get a black screen that returns me to the login screen when i try to log in. i already checked my xauthority file and the ownership seem right. anything else i can try?03:50
centrxPKKid2, Windows System Restore?03:51
centrxPKKid2, It could be in the BIOS too. I do not know of Linux software that does that off the top of my head03:51
PKKid2Hmm, I havent done any Bios updates or anything of that nature03:52
centrxDarthEaron, Did you recently install/upgrade some new software?03:52

centrxPKKid2, I do know there is hardware that will do that. Like if you run a public kiosk that people might mess up, you just restart and it is back to normal03:54

PKKid2OerHeks, It was happening before today.  I noticed it first yesterday but didn't think anything of it.  Today I confirmed it was just reverting state04:08
reffcapthose are the quick ways04:08
PKKid2OerHeks, And I didn't try installing cinnamon until an hour ago04:08

DarthEaronjeffrey_f: but i already did sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell and reinstalled it. maybe if i do autoremove after that?04:27
jeffrey_fDarthEaron: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop then sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-gnome-desktop    Do not restart.

cvtsxcan i upload files through putty?04:39
SchrodingersScatcvtsx: I think you normally use psftp or maybe they have a pscp or something.04:40
mr-techguyI am trying to use putty and SSH over to my laptop that next to me04:40
mr-techguyi can ping it04:40
Gavinwu@cvtsx please use filezilla04:40

Gavinwuyes04:41
SchrodingersScatoh, right, filezilla should be able to sftp04:41
pmitrosWhat's the right way to share files between Ubuntu machines these days? scp/sshfs is a bit too slow. I'd prefer not to open up too many security holes, however.04:41
SchrodingersScatKalel: looks like those aren't all supposed to be installed at the same time?04:42
cvtsxGavinwu: How?04:42

pmitrosgin: The major upside of scp is security.04:44

zack_i dont use the terminal06:11
zack_will you privat chat me06:12
poeticrpmpr0t, run lspci from a terminal and find the wirless device. Do a google search for your problem with that device ID and see if it turns up anything06:12

poeticrpmzack_, why?06:13
poeticrpmits better to answer questions here so others can see06:13

zack_it will be easyer for me to keep track of our convercation06:14
poeticrpmpr0t, see if any other wireless drivers are available for the card is what I mean. Atheros cards have a few drivers that arent up to snuff- you might be able to blacklist the driver that its using now and have it use another06:15

maxxsire_lso, only about 5-15 percent of my CPU and about 10-30 percent of my RAM is being used at any time. Then applications like Firefox begin to crash.06:17

Most of the time these types of issues happen your screwed if you cant find another driver. This bug report has some tips that might help if we cant find another driver, and they dont revolve around any .conf files06:25

poeticrpmEsoRotica, dpms doesnt shut the screen off?06:58
EsoRoticapoeticrpm: It will blank the screen, but it will not shut off the backlight06:58
poeticrpmEsoRotica, just as a baseline, does xscreensaver turn the screen off if you try it? I wrote a script for this at some point, but I used dpms without issue06:59
EsoRoticaIIRC, Gnome-screensaver is the default and Xscreensaver is not installed.06:59
EsoRoticaI'll go grab it I suppose07:00
Ben64yeah i made a script to turn off my monitor when the screen blanks07:00
poeticrpmEsoRotica, yeah, youre prolly right. I use XFCE and openbox so..07:00
EsoRoticaBen, are you using vbetool?07:00
thom_rMate 1.6 is coming to 14.0407:00
Ben64also tied it into blueproximity, so when i enter the room the screensaver disables and my screen turns on, it's awesome07:00
poeticrpmBen64, that IS awesome. Never thought of that07:01
EsoRoticaThats fantastic, Sadly the laptop I'm configuring is for a friend and a new inductee to *nix.07:01
Ben64"xset dpms force off" might be the command you want to do though07:02
EsoRoticaI was able to convince him to buy 8 GB DDR3 and an 840 evo 250GB SSD, so its a good start for him. this things a rocketship07:02
Ben64could have it check periodically for screensaver activation, and run that if it is true07:02
zack_hello07:02
EsoRoticaBen64: The only way I am successfully able to get the backlight to go off is with vbetool, dpms off will blank the screen but not the backlight07:03
EsoRoticazack_: see the private messages  I sent07:03
Ben64EsoRotica: oh, well i'm on a desktop.07:03
zack_i dont know how to see it07:03
poeticrpmEsoRotica, out of curiosity, what is the dpms command you are using? Also, have you tried setting a sleep command before blanking/dpms is actually ran? I believe I had to do that when manually invoking the screensaver since even a pixel of movement would have dpms fail but NOT the blanking (since most screensavers accomodate a few pixels movement)07:03
EsoRoticaYeah ben, thats the one frustration. The monitor also doen't report EDID properly07:04
EsoRoticapoeticrpm: There is some validity to it. let me attempt with sleep proceeding07:04
=== dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar
EsoRoticaSame result.07:05
poeticrpmEsoRotica, xset dpms force off07:06
poeticrpmright?07:06
EsoRoticaHere is what I've attempted:   xset dpms force off; (with or without proceeding sleep command) does successfully blank the screen, but the backlight stays on07:06
zack_EsoRotica check msg07:07
EsoRoticausing "sudo vbetool dpms off" will blank the screen and disable the backlight   [Do not attempt this without knowing that you will need to type sudo vbetool dpms on into a blank screen]]07:07
EsoRoticaThe screen will not wake without the secondary command07:08
zack_i have xubuntu<EsoRotica07:08
poeticrpmEsoRotica, you could do a really ugly hack and have an exception for that command in sudo, but I dont know how youd go about waking the screen. Maybe a keyboard shortcut to run the command? Tried xscreensaver? I doubt it will work if dpms doesnt07:10
EsoRoticaThats just the thing, I have a feeling dropping back to nvidia generic may also do the trick.07:10
poeticrpmdidnt even consider that07:11
EsoRoticaAdditionally, having to train a new user a non-standard behavior just isnt the way to go.07:11

l9anyone that could help me understand why ipconfig reports no trafic on eth0 ?08:34
l9ifocnig sorry08:34
Ben64l9: you mean ifconfig? and how are you seeing no traffic using that?08:34
PatrickDickeyl9: Does it show an IP address for eth0?08:35
l9Ben64: ifconfig reports RX and TX as 0.0 B08:35
l9PatrickDickey: yeah08:35
l9the lo has 1.5GB08:35
PatrickDickeyl9: What is the IP Address that it's showing?08:36
l9PatrickDickey: it shows my home network ip 10.0.0.15108:36
Ben64l9: are the RX and TX packets non-zero?08:36
PatrickDickeyl9: Are you able to ping anything?08:36
l9Ben64: just one 0 on both08:37
l9PatrickDickey: sure i reach everything on the network08:38
PatrickDickeyl9: Out of curiosity, does collisions have anything other than 0?08:38
l9for me it looks like all trafic goes trough lo08:38
PatrickDickeyl9: And how about outside of the network?08:38
Ben64strange for lo to have 1.5GB too, mine shows 111MB after 3 weeks of uptime08:38
l9RX has dropped 165 packets08:38
* PatrickDickey has 401366 for lo and 66034397 for eth008:38
l9 RX bytes:1589690775 (1.5 GB)  TX bytes:1589690775 (1.5 GB)08:39
l9after 21h uptime08:39
l9thats the lo08:39
Ben64very unusual08:39
Unforgivenare you using some kind like ssh tunneling to local port?08:39
l9Unforgiven: I was thinking the same thing so i did a nmap of localhost but no port showed up08:40
PatrickDickeyl9: Are you on the computer right now? Or are you in here from a different computer?08:40
Ben64even if it was a tunnel it'd have to go out on a different interface08:41
l9on the computer now08:41
helmut_hi08:41
l9only interfaces that shows up are eth0 and lo08:41
Ben64l9: can you pastebin "ifconfig -a -v"08:42
Unforgiveni am on wifi, using ssh tunnel for my browsing, so the traffic of my browsing goes to lo08:42
Ben64Unforgiven: still would have to go out on wlan0 or whatever or you wouldn't be able to do anything08:43
l9http://pastebin.com/m9HNQQxL08:43
UnforgivenBen64: not really it will goes to local port first and yeah it also will hit the wlan008:43
bekksUnforgiven: Thats nonsense. An ssh tunnel doesnt make traffic magically go to lo.08:43
Unforgivenso both are increasing in traffic08:43
Unforgiveneh?08:43
=== Moo is now known as Guest12987
l9i did a netstat dump of the trafic on eth0 just too make sure there actually are trafic there and there was :P08:45

PatrickDickeyl9: You might want to install ethtool and run it to see what the status of eth0 is. Pastebin the results of that. You'd use sudo ethtool eth0 without anything else to get the information.08:46

Corbinokay folks, anything I should know about this sony laptop with regards to ubuntu or is it most likely fine? (I am googling for the answer as well, just a shot in the dark if anyone already has an answer) http://tinyurl.com/pnj7j4j08:55
PatrickDickeyCorbin: I can tell you that if you're looking at Toshiba laptops (I bought one for Black Friday in the US), you have to use xforcevesa to boot the Ubuntu Live CD. and then you'll have to manually install the drivers from AMD for the video card (and probably the wireless card also).08:57

PatrickDickeytheuser: do you have another computer that you can try booting it with? Just in case it's not the USB Stick, but something with the computer you're trying to install it to.09:01
PatrickDickeyl9: I'm not sure what to tell you. Sorry. It's obvious that you're able to get online and surf the net (since you're here). As for why the statistics aren't showing up, it could be something with the driver or something else altogether.09:02

marandihi guys , i have a huge problem , my graphic chipset is AMD Readeon HD 4550 but ubuntu wouldnt find any driver in Additional Drivers .. what should i do ?!11:10
irvingd_nevyn: yes. I think I need to research what degraded raid 5 on 2 disks is though :) How does that help me if one goes pop?11:10
nevynirvingd_: so it's the same11:11
nevynirvingd_: the advantage is you can extend it on the fly by adding another disk11:11
nevynand if you're using lvm as I suggest you can grow the whole thing11:11
nevynso it looks like this11:11
nevynphysical disks with a partition which is type linux autoraid11:12
nevynassembled into an md0 which is the pv for an lvm vg which you carve lv's out of for /home and /11:12
irvingd_nevyn: sounds interesting - esp as I'm likely to have another 2TB disk freed up soon when I move the OS over to SSD11:13
nevynirvingd_: so to extend my scheme...11:14
nevynyou add the new physical to the md0...11:14
nevynwhich becomes a non-degraded 3 disk raid 511:14
nevyn(4tb usable)11:14
marandihelp me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee11:14
nevynyou then extend the /home lv in lvm using lvextend11:15
nevynand extend the filesystem11:15
nevynthese are all operations that can be performed online while the system is up and in use.11:15
nevynirvingd_: ^^11:15
irvingd_nevyn: I like it. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to go the partition route + raid 1 for now - if nothing else just to learn a bit more about mdadm etc. Then, when the SSD comes thru, I'm gonna do a whole bunch more work and move over to RAID 5 + lvm11:16
irvingd_yes its a huge waste of effort - but enjoyable :) Really appreciate the advice!11:17
nevynnoooo...11:17
nevynif you get an ssd..11:17
nevynyou should us dmcache...11:17
nevynunder lvm.11:17
nevynso you have md -> dmcache -> lvm -> /home or /11:17
irvingd_sorry, I meant raid 5 would be for the 3 2TB disks11:17
nevynyeah.11:18
irvingd_not the ssd11:18
nevynso the ssd for dmcache?11:18
irvingd_it sounds interesting...11:19
irvingd_but still need a completely isolated part for the OS so can upgrade etc without blowing everything out. Guess just lvm for this?11:19
nevynsure.11:19
nevynjust put the os on a seperate lv11:19
irvingd_nevyn: sounds fun! so will try the 2 raid 1's (/home, /blah) on the 2 disks today, wait for the ssd and then set up the whole dm-cache, lvm next week :)11:21
nevynirvingd_: also. if you do raid 111:21
_MyselfOh, had just run "sudo lshw -class video" and saw that my GPU clock is 66Mhz instead of 20011:21
nevynyou have to back everything up to migrate11:21
_MyselfAny toughts ?11:21
irvingd_nevyn: but thats ok - I've got more than enough room. By the time im using any serious space, I'll have the raid 5 in place :)11:21
nevynhrm. famous last words...11:22
bilegtcheck out my final product. http://www.thecutestgeek.com/wildguppy11:23
irvingd_nevyn: just out of interest though - if you've got multi partitions and thus multi raids - they all still function fine independently? If so - thats good to know - as googling seems a bit sketchy on this11:24
nevynyeah. but partitions are sucky limited and inflexible.11:24
irvingd_nevyn: but only until next week :)11:25
nevynlvm is far more elegant it has names instead of numbers.11:25
nevynthey can be modified on the fly. (shrunk/grown)11:25
nevynthey can be moved between underlying things on the fly11:25
irvingd_Gonna cut my teeth on mdadm with the simple dumb set up, and put next w/e aside to do your full suggested setup with dm-cache etc11:25
nevynirvingd_: I'd leave raid alone and just do lvm rather than that.11:26

cfhowlettgordonjcp, 13.10  has been alpha'd, tested, and released already.12:09

=== dziegler is now known as dziegler_off
fpghost84hitsujiTMO: thanks ok, so these invoke-rc.d type commands are outdated sys V Init commands, that had various options such as "rotate", but the newer upstart way is simply "service ... reload". Cool13:46

So could I install the openvpn server on a machine that I have in my home network?14:05

vaneaHello14:35
sjgpixEagle, you should try powering cycling the machines seperately14:35
josh___hello14:35
vaneaI have a script http://pastebin.com/Jx8k4aL2 that classifies all files from a folder in subfolders, each subfolder having only 8 files. But I have files with such names 0541_2pcs.jpg. 2pcs means two pieces (copies). so I would like the script to take this into count when dividing files to each folder. e.g. a folder may have 6 files and this 0541_2pcs.jpg which literally means 2 files and so on, depending on the number indicated in 14:35
glitsj16TJ-: the driver seems to work fine according to _Myself's Xorg.0.log, only without 2D acceleration indeed14:36
vaneacan anyone help me?14:36
TJ-Eagleman: Let me get this correct: UPS goes offline, server-monitor receives message from UPS and sends shutdown instructions to each server? UPS (now on battery) and PCs restart... and then shutdown almost immediately?14:36

TJ-Eagleman: I'm trying to be clear as to whether the UPS is on battery only, when servers are restarted?14:40
EaglemanTJ-, power up = line power comes back, UPS turns on, starts up PC's becuase they are configured like that in the bios, when pc boots it falls back to battery in a few secs, and the reboot loop starts14:40
_MyselfI should add the PPA he said ?14:40
TJ-Eagleman: The UPS falls back to battery? I don't get that? If there is line power why is it falling back to battery?14:40

EaglemanTJ- becuase something is wrong with the USB cable, if i unplug the usb cable when being in that process, it never falls back to battery14:41

TJ-Eagleman: The only thing occurs to me right now is that when the PC powers up then some USB ports may have 5VSB applied with a very low current threshold... I'm wondering if the non-standard APC USB connection (it has an RJ45 connector!) is detecting that as some kind of fault condition and shutting down to protect itself14:52

_MyselfSo, can i ?15:23
_MyselfOr should i ?15:24
TJ-Eagleman: From everything I've read I suspect 2 things are coinciding: 1) the apcupsd USB driver isn't toggling some flag on the UPS when it shuts down (which the Windows driver is doing) and 2) a temporary leakage current from the PC to the UPS via the chassis ground is causing spurious overload protection to cut in15:24
glitsj16_Myself: that seems to be the only PPA that offers the sis driver so you can only drop back to what precise offers by purging the PPA15:24

EaglemanTJ- and 2) a temporary leakage current from the PC to the UPS via the chassis ground is causing spurious overload protection to cut in15:27
TJ-_Myself: glitsj16: I'd recommend using "apt-cache policy <package-name>" to confirm *which* package is installed15:27
_MyselfX-Updates15:27
EaglemanSo it must be suggestion 1)15:27
MarkDaviesshoud I use sudo privileges?15:28
TJ-Eagleman: Could be both... do you get the same issue with a laptop/notebook attached (try with it taking power from the UPS, and being totally unplugged)15:28
_MyselfWhats the name of the driver ? ( xorg-blablCa-bla-sis )15:28
_Myselfpackage*15:28
EaglemanTJ- Laptop with windows or linux15:28

hitsujiTMOlolcat: have you the driver installed?15:37
lolcatI tried installing fglrx but now I donno15:37
glitsj16_Myself: looks like you still have the xorg-edgers driver installed and running, try to temporarily purge that PPA or download the .deb from the mediahacks PPA and install that thru .. sudo dpkg -i /path/to/the/deb15:37
TJ-_Myself: That output shows you're using the Xorg Edger's driver... which most likely will not contain the patch that has been applied to the package in the other PPA15:37

TJ-malimbar: Maybe "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" but not sure it'll remove any custom entries in the config files; check out also the files in "/etc/lightdm/"16:07

_Myselfglitsj1616:13
_MyselfSo Yes i added mannually at sources16:13
_MyselfShould i remove it ?16:13
glitsj16_Myself: that's not the recommended way to add a PPA so i'm not sure on this one .. let's see .. if it was me i would comment out the xorg-edgers line in /etc/apt/sources.lis and add the PPA first thru regular means, then purge it with sudo ppa-purge .. seek confirmation on this here before doing so, as i'm not sure16:14
_Myselfokok16:15
glitsj16_Myself: the logic being that if you just comment out the xorg-edgers line you're apt isn't actually going to downgrade anything back and you still won't see the driver package you need to install .. you can work around this though but this routine should be a lot safer16:17

TJ-glitsj16: If the bug-fix PPA has been added you can force that package to be installed using "sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<exact-version-string>" ... "apt-cache policy <package-name>" will obtain the exact version string16:22

EaglemanSo i am not sure what you want16:27
TJ-Eagleman: The scenario you need to set-up is: USB cable connected. Laptop on battery power, not connected to UPS outlet. Use something like apctest to simulate the power-down so the UPS gets the shutdown signal but the laptop stays running... then when you restore power to the UPS the laptop can log all messages immediately16:28
_MyselfBRB16:28

oogkeHi people. Studying Java, I saw that this language uses UTF16 for characters. So I expected to see just 2 digits codes like \u00 and not \u0000. Why is it like this? Just because of UTF16 being bit-width variable? When I see \u0000, I think I'm using 32 bit and not 16. Am i wrong about this thinking? Thanks17:29

Eagleman7TJ- i was using the powerchute software17:55
TJ-Eagleman7: If you use Windows and the apcupsd driver and that has the same problem, it'd confirm the idea that the usb driver isn't setting some shutdown flag that the proprietary driver does set17:56
TJ-Eagleman7: which would be well worth reporting to the apcupsd developers since it sounds like the protocol might have changed17:56

TJ-androidfr33k: You can interrupt the GRUB boot-loader at boot-time by holding the SHIFT key down until the boot menu appears, then you can select an alternative boot entry. Sounds like you need to use the "Recovery..." option so you can see kernel messages and see if it drops to an initrd shell, or if it gets past that and sticks somewhere else18:21

If you can generate a password in  the live environment for a new user, get the salted/encrypted hash from "/etc/shadow", and then paste that into the "/target/etc/shadow" for the user you need to fix.

TJ-easyeasy: "dpkg-query -l xserver-xorg"20:19
come-dianHe said that canonical spy on us20:20
easyeasythose aren't all actually required20:20
easyeasyso i guess the question then is, what is the minimum for ubuntu without the massive package20:20
=== zenix`away is now known as zenix`
TJ-easyeasy: does dpkg-query report xserver-xorg is installed ("ii") ?20:21
easyeasyit spams a bunch of packages20:21
TJ-easyeasy: You're not helping; you need to answer specific questions accurately for us to be able to assist. You are our eyes and ears.20:22
easyeasyI installed xserver-xorg-video-radeon , the common package, the core package, the mouse and keyboard packages20:23
Left_Turnis the default ftp linux/unix program recommended/good?20:23

demon^eyewhat nvidia driver should i use with Ubuntu ?20:24
jhutchinsLeft_Turn: The cli client is the basic implementation of ftp, it works.  Pretty much the same as any ftp client, same code.20:25
easyeasyminus the video driver, what are the minimum Xorg packages required for a desktop?20:25
easyeasycan anyone answer this queston?20:25
Left_Turnah ok great. ill give it a try... thanks jhutchins20:25
jhutchinsLeft_Turn: Most web and file browsers will do ftp as well.20:26
Left_Turnoh i see20:26
Left_Turnhmm let me try that 1st:)20:26

easyeasyI already showed output20:28
demon^eyeShould i use Nvidia driver fro nvidia site or use default what Ubuntu use ?20:28
jhutchinsdemon^eye: Your question is too vague.  There is the noveau driver which covers most cards, and there are proprietary drivers which have their own problems.20:28
easyeasyit spams every package20:28
easyeasyi'm not retyping20:28

TJ-easyeasy: I don't see it. That wasn't a result of the command I gave; there'd only be at most one package listed20:29
jhutchinsdemon^eye: Start with the default driver.  If you have specific needs it doesn't meet, read some of the wiki's and forums about the proprietary drivers.20:29

easyeasythe default updater also pulls in the sdks20:29
jhutchinseasyeasy: Go ahead and install it, then use it to learn what you're doing.  THEN you can start understanding what is bloat and what isn't, because right now you just don't know.20:30
easyeasyWhy can't you answer a very normal question about requirements of the display server for your distro?20:30
TJ-easyeasy: "apt-get --no-install-recommends ..."20:30
easyeasyThe depends aren't depends20:30
easyeasywacom tablets are not required20:30
jhutchinsdemon^eye: Best answer is try it and see.  Mostly the free driver recognizes them and works, but may not have 3D acceleration or some other features.20:30
easyeasySis graphics and trident are not required20:30
easyeasyso if you please, what is the minimum X packages to run lightdm20:31
easyeasygraphically20:31
jhutchinseasyeasy: We're just fellow users.  Nobody has bothered to try to install X without the recommended dependencies, because that little disk space isn't worth that much effort.20:31
easyeasysure they have, they're called debian users20:31
jhutchinseasyeasy: GIVE UP ON LIGHTDM!!!20:31
demon^eyejhutchins, : when i use what recommended by Ubuntu it stuck and doesnt load , and cant even go to fallback driver20:31
jhutchinsdemon^eye: Ah, there we go, actual problem.20:32
easyeasyi did jhut, other than the deps are listed incorrectly20:32
jhutchinseasyeasy: You don't know enough to say that.20:32
easyeasywhat are the minimum packages required for X not including the display driver20:32
easyeasyI do, coming from Gentoo and Arch where this madness does not exist20:32
demon^eyejhutchins,  : yes , so i use version 309 not 319 since it stuck at boot... why is that ? its marked "recommended" ?20:32
easyeasyi haven't read all the defaults for each package which is why i'm asking20:33
easyeasyCan you answer or no20:33
easyeasyDo you know the default X packages for ubuntu to display without using metapackages20:33
easyeasyyes or no20:33
jhutchinseasyeasy: Fighting dependencies is not something for a new user to mess with.  Just go ahead and install it, learn to use it, learn the packaging sytem, and then you can figure out how to strip it down to a minimal install.20:33
easyeasyNo, no you can't20:33
easyeasybecause the metapackages require the BS20:33
jhutchinseasyeasy: I think perhaps ubuntu is not the distro for you.20:33
easyeasyfor example, the DRM mesa packages i have to live with20:34
TJ-easyeasy: Sounds like Ubuntu is the wrong distro for you... I'd recommend you try DSL20:34
easyeasybut the others not so much20:34

jhutchinsdemon^eye: demon^eye Just the numbers don't mean anything to me.20:38

jhutchinsdemon^eye: nonsense, you can fix it from the CLI.20:38

DenevienSo, I have a hosted box that uses Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, and I use it for a ZNC. My problem is that when connecting to some networks, I either need to force users to use my IP v4, or force different v6s on them. I was told I need to set something up in my network interface to do the second one (which is apparently the better option). Anyone that can help with this?22:19

Daemoeni have one machine that for whatever reason, cannot grab tftp data, so i cant netboot the preseed file i have;  is it possible to load a remote preseed file even when installing from disc?23:31
Daemoen( ie, mixing netinstall with cd boot )23:31
jeffrey_fdaemoen: Grab the network installer  -->  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads23:32
Shamrock13Can anyone help me fix my sound issue, please?23:33

Shamrock13I do not have any sound on my Dell 17r SE laptop. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the HDA driver (DKMS), and I still am not receiving any sound.23:34
Daemoeni have a fully functional tftp pxe environment,  this one single machine has a bios glitch that prevents it from grabbing the tftp data, so im having to install via "cd"23:34
* jeffrey_f thinks Daemoen could be right. sorry23:35
Daemoeni want to boot cd, but still install via the preseed file ive written23:35

xanguaHello everyone, I am unable to see any bluetooth device in ubuntu 12.04, apparently this computer (hp G42-283LA) has some kind of bundled wifi/blueo tooth, if I hit the hardware key do enable/disable it enables/disables both but the wifi is working OK; is there any procedure I should take to see what's wrong or what am I missing? output of  lsmod http://pastebin.com/HpAS28P6 lspci http://pastebin.com/vRUaUJr723:39

nPegleranyone having any issues with Ubuntu 13.10 not wanting to display the on-screen keyboard after it has been enabled in the Accessiblity Options?  I cannot finish the installation without keyboard access on my Gigabyte touch screen x86 tablet...23:43
Shamrock13This is silly. I'm trying everything I can find online, but I'm not getting any kind of sound whatsoever.23:44
nPeglerShamrock13, have you tried going to the website for the manufacturer of the audio card in your system to look for a Linux driver?23:44
Shamrock13Honestly, I haven't just because I assumed Dell wouldn't make an audio driver for it.23:45
Shamrock13I'll check now.23:45
nPeglerWhat type of Dell system do you have? I can look up the audio card type and help you find a linux driver23:45
Shamrock1317r Special Edition23:46
Shamrock13The system tag is 8HRRCT123:46
nPeglerk I'll let you know if I can find anything23:46
Shamrock13Thank you so much23:46

mrpizzafaceBeldar: it says i need the expansion pack and i have it installed but it wont let me enable usb2.0 support23:48
Beldarwaltercool_ soory23:48
quidnuncCan anyone running 12.10 either confirm or deny that "cabal install entropy" fails? You need "apt-get install cabal-install ghc"23:48
waltercool_Beldar: Why? :S23:49
Beldarmrpizzaface, usb 2 support, does this computer have usb 2?23:49
ikoniaquidnunc: what don't you just tell us your problem, rather than other peoples23:49
Beldarwaltercool_, I did a ops call and accidentally used your nick23:49
nPeglerShamrock13, unfortunately Dell utilized a Conexant Audio Card... Conexant does not provide driver support for end users. You'll have to google Conexant Audio for linux and try to sift through that for something that works23:50
nPeglerI wish you the best of luck23:50
mrpizzafaceBeldar: USB2 and USB3 support i have it plugged into usb 2.0 at the moment23:50
waltercool_Beldar: Hahahha relax, shit happens23:51
nPegleranyone know how to get the on screen keyboard to show up on Ubuntu 13.10 after having enabled it on the Accessiblity Options?23:51
Beldarmrpizzaface, Not sure, I have never had to enable usb support.23:51
mrpizzafacebeldar ill try :P23:51

Shamrock13nPegler, the worst part of it is that I had sound when I first installed Ubuntu, and then whatever I did took it away.23:52
Shamrock13I cannot get it back either. Ugh.23:52
nPeglerthat's really odd :-S23:52

Shamrock13I have absolutely no idea what to do.23:54
nPeglerI'm still learning Ubuntu myself :-S23:54
Shamrock13Yep! Me too!23:54
nPeglerI like the look of it and am actually trying to get it loaded onto my touch-screen tablet pc23:54
Shamrock13That would be pretty awesome.23:55
Shamrock13I love the look of Ubuntu23:55
Shamrock13I'll be right back. Have to restart and see if I got it fixed or not.23:55
SteakumzUsed Windows all my life, and made a New Years resolution to try Ubuntu in 2014..So here I am :)23:55
RealNWOwindows is better23:55
SteakumzI feel like somewhat of an idiot23:55
nPeglerWelcome to the linux world :-)23:55
RealNWObut ubuntu is the best linux, and sometimes u need linux23:56
SteakumzI'm really bummed to find out I apparently can't play League of Legends anymore.23:56
nPeglerI've used Fedora for a while, but it won't work on my tablet...23:56
SteakumzAlso, download speed 1/2 of what I was getting on Windows with torrents :/23:56
nPeglerthe exact same torrents?23:57
Steakumzyeap23:57
zeproxsame ports?23:57
Steakumztorrents with tons of fast seeds only hitting 500mb/s download speeds23:57
Shamrock13I'm back, and there was absolutely no luck.23:57
Steakumzdoubt the same ports, I went from Utorrent to Transmission23:57
daftykinsonly 500MB/sec? awww23:57
nPeglerthat could be the issue Steakumz23:58
nPeglersome torrent software works better than others23:58
SteakumzI mean 500kb/s sorry23:58
SteakumzWell, I wanted to use Deluge client, but even after port forwarding it says "no incoming connection", so maybe I'll keep tinkering with that client.23:58
xanguaJust found the solution to my bluetooth issue: As  of 2013.11.13 Bluetooth is working for RT3090. After installing bluez,  bluez-utils and any other bluetooth related packages you may need, run  "bccmd enabletx" as root. No need to dual boot with Windows, only  running the command. As the half-mini wireless card RT3090 is a combo one, the  bluetooth radio is embeded together with wifi. The bluetooth device  isn't listed in lspci. However, is is visible 23:59
Steakumzgrats23:59
nPeglerawesome that you figured it out :-)23:59
