[00:01] MonkeyDust, i believe that apache 2.4.7 provides substantial benefit over 2.2.22 [00:01] Helping the community. Thats what I do. [00:02] does Ubuntu believe that 2.4.7 is unstable and provides no substantial benefit? [00:02] i think they are mistaken [00:02] catalase_ dunno, I don't use it [00:03] catalase_, it probably just came out too late to be included... they might be including it in 14.04 but I'm not sure...

[00:13] thanks , daftykins [00:20] apb1963: 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 reliable [00:21] hitsujiTMO: so you're saying that, that SWAP column is meaningless in terms of calculating swap space used/needed? [00:21] apb1963: exactly [00:22] Hi, how can I rename devices plugged in to my machine? For instance, I want to rename a webcam. [00:24] hitsujiTMO: 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? [00:25] apb1963: but its not swap. it include all memory. its just a badly labeled column [00:26] 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] I 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? [00:27] hitsujiTMO: then it's also badly documented. The man page states " [00:27] SWAP -- Swapped size (kb) [00:27] Memory that is not resident but is present in a task. This is memory that has been swapped out [00:27] but could include additional non-resident memory. This column is calculated by subtracting [00:27] physical memory from virtual memory. [00:27] apb1963: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:27] sorry floodbot, my bad. [00:29] apb1963: my apologies. its virt - res. but the key here is to look at what virt is too. [00:30] P.S. If my question does belong in ubuntu+1, let me know please :). === Raven is now known as Corvette [00:30] ccan somone help me with my head set and kubuntu desktop tey dont seem to work together [00:31] NictraSavios_: if you need to ask about that, i would not suggest you use development releases. [00:31] i have a question if i start a VM running the Ubuntu live CD can i install from the live CD to a USB flashdrive [00:31] apb1963: 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 loaded [00:32] 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 far [00:33] 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! [00:34] NictraSavios_: according to murphy the heavy bugs come in when you really need a running system :) in the end its your choice [00:35] k1l_, Haha, true! I guess as the releases get more tame I get more a sense of security with betas. [00:35] apb1963: sorry, it includes the shared libs + data thats not yet loaded. hence the presumed bloat. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [00:39] hitsujiTMO: that's also confusing... SWAP column is code+allocated data area+shared libs+swapped out pages? [00:40] apb1963: +data that could potentially be loaded [00:40] apb1963: -actual ram used [00:41] hi is kernel 3.12 in the official release now? === goose_ is now known as Guest47963 [00:42] hitsujiTMO: 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. [00:43] must be. autoremove is taking out kernel 3.11 [00:43] hitsujiTMO: Bottom line, it makes my head hurt and I don't think it's a useful number at this point. [00:44] !info linux | Gallomimia [00:44] Gallomimia: 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 kB [00:45] apb1963: 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 virt [00:45] huh... odd. === LjL is now known as frenchtoast [00:46] hitsujiTMO: right. that's what i'm saying [00:46] apb1963: yeah. so its a number you can typically ignore [00:46] hitsujiTMO: anyway, as you already stated... SWAP is not swap. :) [00:46] yup [00:47] gotta love it [00:47] thanks again === parduse is now known as Guest90364 === parduse is now known as Guest53724 [00:55] Hello everyone, i dont know if anyone here remembers me, but I'm having graphics problems,when i click and drag the selection pops up in slow motion basically, i just did a fresh install of either 13.04 or 13.10, not sure which was on the flash drive.

[03:57] DarthEaron: Remove .ICEauthority (rename). go in through terminal session (CTL-ALT-F1). Come back to login gui ALT-CTL-F7. It will be recreated on login [03:57] I know the date this started heppening because I have a programming project I was working on at the time [03:57] I can look at the timestam of those files [03:58] PKKid2, You could look in /var/cache/apt/archives and ls -lt [03:58] January 4th [03:58] hey, just did reboot and nothing [03:59] PKKid2, That should have the download dates of the packages, assuming you did not install a package and version that was already downloaded [03:59] my display is 1024x600, sometimes i get settings windows that are larger than my screen, any recommendations on how i can see the parts of these windows that go off the screen? [03:59] there is a "partial" folder with Jan 4th on it [03:59] and nothing in it [03:59] moopzoop, is your display resolution set to match your screen resolution? [04:00] yes [04:00] it might be because of me installing the nvidia drivwers [04:00] moopzoop: You can press alt-space, move, and move it around. === brandon is now known as Guest90158 [04:00] thanks, Rarrikins === Guest90158 is now known as reffcap [04:01] soahccc: Did you get my last (belated !) ? [04:01] if i delete my xorg.conf, will it be regenerated? [04:01] moopzoop: Remember the underlined letter for move. You can press that on the keyboard to select it when the Alt-space menu is hidden outside the screen. [04:01] anhone know how to get to the linux mint irc [04:01] The last things installed in apt-get history is "remove stockfish" [04:01] alt-f7 works too [04:01] that has nothing to do with anything [04:02] moopzoop: Oh, cool. [04:02] ive been trying to figure out how to stream to twitch from ubuntu anyonw know how [04:02] I also installed gcolor2 [04:03] I think I have to completly reinstall Ubuntu... :( [04:04] Maybe I'll go with Mint. :P [04:04] linux mint is goo i have zorin os ultimate if you want it PKKid2 [04:04] reffcap, I have no clue what zorin os ultimate is [04:05] It sure sounds awesome though [04:05] lol [04:05] mint and zorin are not supported here so be carefull. [04:05] DarthEaron: Remove .ICEauthority (rename). go in through terminal session (CTL-ALT-F1). Come back to login gui ALT-CTL-F7. It will be recreated on login [04:05] its really good [04:06] when you have problem in mint and zorin, dont say your distro, just state the problem in here, theyre likely very similar [04:06] im not going to post videos about it im just handing out options to linux [04:06] DerHeks, thats fine. Ubuntu won't let me save any files anymore.. so its useless to me now anyways. :P [04:07] pkkid did ubuntu not bring anything up when you logged in [04:07] PKKid2, i blame cinamon, as you stated yourself earlier, it can wreck unity [04:07] just your desktop background [04:07] reffcap, It just acts like I did nothing since Jan 4. ALways reverts back to the state of Jan 4. [04:08] you could either reinstall or get a new os [04:08] OerHeks, It was happening before today. I noticed it first yesterday but didn't think anything of it. Today I confirmed it was just reverting state [04:08] those are the quick ways [04:08] OerHeks, And I didn't try installing cinnamon until an hour ago [04:09] I know I've installed the same updates on this system about 8 times now.. [04:09] they just keep reverting back to Jan 4th state. [04:11] are you getting my IM PKKid2 [04:11] DarthEaron: Did it work? [04:14] jeffrey_f: sorry just came back to tty2, where is ICE authority located, i dont see it in homefolder === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [04:15] jeffrey_f: im about to reboot, ill let you know how it went === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi [04:16] DarthEaron: It is in your home folder /home/UserID/.ICEauthority [04:18] jeffrey_f: it did not work...something i noticed in tty...i get a message saying something like plymouth not found...i cant get back to the message, tty scrooled to far [04:19] i just bought a new system having amd a10 and preinstalled with dos, i want to use ubuntu server for the system, where should i look for. It does not have partitions done and i need to do it from the very scratch. please help [04:19] DarthEaron: does it let you stay in the terminal session? [04:21] jeffrey_f: yeah, im in tty talking to you right now with irssi. your asking weather i can tty on this machine right? [04:23] DarthEaron: OK....Looks like a package problem. Looking for something at the moment [04:23] is there a way to file a crash bug from a .crash file? [04:23] jeffrey_f: thanks by the way, cant really google right now [04:24] ok...text only? [04:25] jeffrey_f: yeah man im stuck on tty...no gui except a login screen. when i try to log in it gives me "failed to load session "gnome" " [04:25] Hi everyone! My CPU is Core i5 M520 with Intel® Hyper-Threading, what MAKEOPTS= should I use? '-j5' or '-j8'? [04:25] thats with gnome-shell, when i try unity it just gives me a black screen and then returns to login screen [04:26] jeffrey_f: i installed fluxbox and that works. so maybe i need to reinstall somehting? [04:27] jeffrey_f: but i already did sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell and reinstalled it. maybe if i do autoremove after that? [04:28] DarthEaron: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop then sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-gnome-desktop Do not restart. This could effectively leave your system without GUI (which probably isn't an issue right now anyway) then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop and finally sudo apt-get autoremove [04:31] jeffrey_f: ill give this a try [04:31] DarthEaron: There are 4 commands there......was trying to keep IRC etiquette keeping to a single line, but it looks ugly [04:32] jeffrey_f: this is weird, it saying neither is installed. dont see how that happened. [04:32] but they show up in gui login screen....huh [04:33] DarthEaron: Could be the problem. sumtin got borked! [04:35] working on installing now. i may just break down and reinstall....i really need to make a new partition specifically for my home folder [04:35] quite === zopsi_ is now known as zopsi [04:37] DarthEaron: Desktop or laptop? [04:38] jeffrey_f: desktop...this may be related, but is just after i installed virtualbox and now that i got fluxbox to work, when i try to start the vm gui crashes back into login screen. [04:38] Greetings.. [04:38] Can anyone have a look on my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6736540/ [04:39] Hello [04:39] Atlanta [04:39] I am from Atlanta [04:39] question [04:39] can i upload files through putty? [04:40] cvtsx: I think you normally use psftp or maybe they have a pscp or something. [04:40] I am trying to use putty and SSH over to my laptop that next to me [04:40] i can ping it [04:40] @cvtsx please use filezilla [04:40] but i can open putty [04:41] Thank you. [04:41] i keep getting access dined [04:41] So i can upload through filezilla? [04:41] yes [04:41] oh, right, filezilla should be able to sftp [04:41] What'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. [04:42] Kalel: looks like those aren't all supposed to be installed at the same time? [04:42] Gavinwu: How? [04:42] There's nfs, samba, and a million others. I'm wondering what the right one to use is. [04:42] cvtsx: login to your server using filezilla with the ssh credentials you have. === jje is now known as Guest76040 [04:42] SchrodingersScat: I know, quantum-physics boy... [04:42] pmitros: rsync === dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar [04:43] hello can some on help me [04:43] pmitros: ubuntu one? google drive? rsync? how sshfs is security hole? [04:43] ok, and what if i use a pem key? [04:43] will they accept that? [04:43] I was just going to say, the cloud === Guest76040 is now known as jje [04:43] qin: saying he doesn't want to open them. Like by adding something silly like ftp. [04:43] gin: scp is not a security hole. It's just slow. I'd like to do something fast, and as a file share. [04:44] just plugin for my mc server [04:44] gin: The major upside of scp is security. [04:44] SchrodingersScat: ftp is not a hole it is lack ;) [04:44] rsync would presume I want complete sets of files both places. I really want to transfer individual files. File system mount is ideal. === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:44] mr-techguy: double check the username/login you are using. [04:44] DarthEaron: I'm walking away from my comp for a few, just let me know how it worked. [04:45] when i login i put in my user name and it see it along with the ip [04:46] but when I plug in the password it says access dined [04:47] now let me ask what if I use the same password for both computer [04:47] will that make a diff [04:47] So at least of nfs vs. smb, is there a prefered one these days? [04:47] mr-techguy: are you talking about ssh login? [04:47] yes [04:48] I use the same pass word for both computer s [04:48] when i login [04:48] mr-techguy: lets say A is server and B is client, so [04:48] yes [04:49] mr-techguy: from B: ssh user_of_A@A_server with pasword of A user [04:50] I get it [04:51] Kalel: How did you install the proprietary graphics driver ? maybe purge it and then (re-)install ? install method matters. [04:52] is there a list of reccomended phones for ubuntu-for-android? [04:52] mr-techguy: and make sure to comb throught: man ssh; man sshd; man sshd_config; right whole thinky will work from A to B too, if you will install sshd on B, so you can tunnel yourself [04:54] Solartemus: was ubuntu for android relased, or you mean Ubuntu Phone? [04:55] er is it not released yet? [04:55] http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/ubuntu-for-android [04:55] this [04:57] hm, next year I will edit it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_for_Android [04:58] I see [04:58] ok [04:59] qin, no eta?

[05:32] PKKid2: you're going to have to explain what that means [05:32] ben64 if it's virtual box you have to have "64" in the machine name for it make it 64 bit [05:32] but my windows is 32 bit [05:32] elepfonitus: no you don't [05:32] is that only true for windows vm? [05:32] iKillCypher: then you probably cannot make a 64bit VM [05:32] Ben64, If I update atp packages, create a file in the home dir, or do anything.. then reboot, its like I never did anything. [05:33] iKillCypher: Exactly why you can't use a 64 bit install..... [05:33] Ben64, Every time I reboot, it prompts me to download the same updates. Dropbox downloads the same file updates.. etc..

[06:13] its better to answer questions here so others can see [06:13] poeticrpm I did they all say to add parameters into ath9k.conf I did that but still my wifi is HORRIBLE [06:14] it will be easyer for me to keep track of our convercation [06:15] pr0t, 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 another [06:15] zack_, there isnt many people here.

This bug report has some tips that might help if we cant find another driver, and they dont revolve around any .conf files [06:26] maybe I'll just move up to 3.12.7 and see what happens [06:26] zack_: the terminal IS the diagnostic! wine "/home/zsw/Desktop/minecraft installer 1.6.2" [06:26] ok [06:27] pr0t, a kernel update is always a possible driver fix.

Right click on the minecraftinstaller.exe and move it from the downloads folder to /home/zsw [06:44] 这吸 === parduse is now known as Guest46419 [06:44] wrong one [06:45] Mindkontrol, you might want to try #archlinux or #gentoo honestly. I think most of the pros are asleep here. Dont tell them youre on Ubuntu though! [06:45] thats not a good idea [06:45] Ben64, why not? :P [06:45] because ubuntu is not arch nor gentoo === dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar_away [06:46] Ben64, I cant imagine the differences are beyond Mindkontrol [06:46] hay what if u logged into my desktop and had a look [06:46] poeticrpm: actually, i am using raspbian [06:46] Hello folks, I'm attempting to get a backlight on a laptop to turn off when the screen saver activates. I've tried several methods and I'm able to successfully get the backlight to turn off with vbetools, but dpms does not get the job done. any ideas? [06:46] Mindkontrol: then you should be asking in #raspberrypi [06:46] Mindkontrol, haha, I dont even know what that is [06:47] poeticrpm: the point is we don't want to encourage people to break channel rules [06:47] Ben64, Im on Arch right now, and im trying to help Ubuntu guys: some things are universal === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [06:47] can anayone else help me [06:47] Ben64, oh, well I didnt realize that was against the rules. My bad [06:47] zack_: All you need to do is move the file. Do it the same way you would in windows. copy it out of the downloads directory then into the /home/zsw directory [06:48] zack_, dude, im really TRYING to help you. [06:48] how its not a ile [06:48] file [06:49] zack_, EsoRotica makes a good point- its just like windows. [06:49] zack_: what is the problem you are encountering? [06:49] Are you saying that you havent downloaded the file? You said it was in your downloads firectory [06:49] poeticrpm: thanks for the advice === Mars is now known as Guest42835 [06:49] zack_, yes it is. .exe windows programs ARE files [06:49] my wine wont run an exe program and i dont have anay more ideas [06:50] zack_: open a terminal and type "notepad" [06:50] ok [06:50] it should open up windows' notepad [06:50] Hello. I'm trying to connect to my bridged connection I made using network-manager. When I attempt to connect I get this: http://screencloud.net/v/h85H [06:50] if not, something is wrong with your wine [06:51] pr0t, any luck dude? [06:51] ok now what [06:51] still trying to download :( [06:51] Did it open notepad zack_? [06:51] yea [06:51] might just download on this laptop and transfer it via usb key [06:51] Zach_ why dont you just type wine ~/Downloads/minecraftinstaller.exe into your terminal [06:52] pr0t, yeah, prolly best [06:52] how do i download windows [06:52] zack_, agree with EsoRotica do that [06:52] how do i shot webs [06:53] Oddity: Get bit by a radio active spider. [06:53] zack_: what are you trying to run anyway [06:54] dnt work [06:54] zack_: can you give a more detailed progress report, what was the error? [06:54] im trying to run a minecraft installer [06:54] zack_: you know, they make minecraft for linux. why run it in wine? [06:55] wine: cannot find '/home/zsw/Downloads/minecraftinstaller.exe' [06:55] I have setup a software raid while installing ubuntu 13.10 and it works fine, now I want to add another drive to the raid .. can someone point me to a guide or help me out here? [06:55] cuz i can get it free this way [06:56] zack_: sorry, we don't support piracy here [06:56] its not piracy [06:57] buy it and run it natively in Linux. [06:57] i got it from the webpage minecraft.net [06:58] i cant afford anayway [06:58] EsoRotica, dpms doesnt shut the screen off? [06:58] poeticrpm: It will blank the screen, but it will not shut off the backlight [06:59] EsoRotica, 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 issue [06:59] IIRC, Gnome-screensaver is the default and Xscreensaver is not installed. [07:00] I'll go grab it I suppose [07:00] yeah i made a script to turn off my monitor when the screen blanks [07:00] EsoRotica, yeah, youre prolly right. I use XFCE and openbox so.. [07:00] Ben, are you using vbetool? [07:00] Mate 1.6 is coming to 14.04 [07:00] also tied it into blueproximity, so when i enter the room the screensaver disables and my screen turns on, it's awesome [07:01] Ben64, that IS awesome. Never thought of that [07:01] Thats fantastic, Sadly the laptop I'm configuring is for a friend and a new inductee to *nix. [07:02] "xset dpms force off" might be the command you want to do though [07:02] I 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 rocketship [07:02] could have it check periodically for screensaver activation, and run that if it is true [07:02] hello [07:03] Ben64: 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 backlight [07:03] zack_: see the private messages I sent [07:03] EsoRotica: oh, well i'm on a desktop. [07:03] i dont know how to see it [07:03] EsoRotica, 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) [07:04] Yeah ben, thats the one frustration. The monitor also doen't report EDID properly [07:04] poeticrpm: There is some validity to it. let me attempt with sleep proceeding === dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar [07:05] Same result. [07:06] EsoRotica, xset dpms force off [07:06] right? [07:06] Here is what I've attempted: xset dpms force off; (with or without proceeding sleep command) does successfully blank the screen, but the backlight stays on [07:07] EsoRotica check msg [07:07] using "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]] [07:08] The screen will not wake without the secondary command [07:08] i have xubuntu EsoRotica, 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 doesnt [07:10] Thats just the thing, I have a feeling dropping back to nvidia generic may also do the trick. [07:11] didnt even consider that [07:11] Additionally, having to train a new user a non-standard behavior just isnt the way to go. [07:11] yeah [07:11] you got me [07:12] I'll attempt X real quick [07:12] EsoRotica, http://pastebin.com/84acAmve [07:12] maybe it will run the mode differently. [07:12] thats a script I found but never used awhile ago [07:13] the bash script I wrote used dpms (like this python one does), so it prolly wont help either. Its also on my desktop which im not at [07:13] thre is no i option [07:14] haha [07:14] * poeticrpm gives up [07:14] good luck [07:14] Too fun [07:15] This does look prmising though [07:15] Looks like it will just sit and capture any input. [07:16] pretty much [07:16] Ah, gotta get this set in Xscreensaver... Gnome-screensaver wouldnt allow this. [07:21] poeticrpm: so I am running 3.12.x now and still same wifi issues [07:22] pr0t, ok, hold on [07:26] pr0t, ok, and what was the issue with compat-wireless? [07:26] couldn't find any for my kernel === Mars is now known as Guest26324 [07:27] pr0t, any for the new kernel? any for a kernel in the ppa? [07:28] Question, on Launchpad, is it possible to revoke the Ubuntu code of conduct? [07:28] no, none :( [07:28] only other thing I can think to try is to blacklist the ath9k module and see if the ath5k driver works, How hold is the laptop? [07:28] Nothing_Much, huh? what do you mean? [07:28] Hi everyone. Is there a way to force the LiveCD to load the minimal vesa drivers? My video card isn't supported out of the box at all. I have to install, then install the AMD drivers to get my desktop to work. [07:29] poeticrpm: I signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and I think it applies to outside of launchpad, such as the subreddit. [07:29] pr0t, I am on Arch atm, so I had a look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup#Atheros [07:29] Nothing_Much: Why would you want to revoke it? [07:29] hrm ath5k doesn't seem to work with my card [07:29] PatrickDickey: I don't think I can live up to its conduct. :( [07:29] At least in the subreddit [07:30] !Code of Conduct | Nothing_Much this might give you information on that. [07:30] Nothing_Much this might give you information on that.: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is the document that spells out etiquette in the Ubuntu community | http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct | Watch http://static.screencasts.ubuntu.com/videos/2010/12/22/004-SigningCoC.ogv [07:30] pr0t, hmmm.. does ndiswrapper even work anymore? Thats all I can think of [07:30] I'd say if the subreddit isn't a "part of the community" then you shouldn't have to worry. [07:30] poeticrpm: Whould I save this gist as a sh or py? === dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar_away [07:31] its python, so I .py [07:31] PatrickDickey: I can't figure out which websites it applies to [07:31] i want to stress I didnt write it- I tried it and then made a bash script. Also, I believe its a python2 script, not 3. Not sure if it makes a difference in this script === MomoNasty is now known as Momo|Off [07:32] Nothing_Much: do you have a link to the subreddit, by chance? [07:32] PatrickDickey: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/ === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [07:33] If it's a community that follows the COC then I need it revoked, if not then how would I add my flair? :) [07:35] Nothing_Much: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/l5b3x/members_and_canonical_employees_claim_your_flair/ I guess I don't see where you'd have a problem. If you don't apply for a flair, then the CoC doesn't necessarily apply to you. And if you want to apply, then you follow those directions. [07:36] And Nothing_Much, are you a member of the ubuntu-members group on launchpad? [07:36] PatrickDickey: Oh no, I'm not, I don't normally add myself to those groups because I can't comprehend a lot of reading sometimes [07:37] When it comes to actually programming and contributing aside from being a loudmouth promoter. [07:37] Then, I wouldn't think the CoC applies to you on the reddit site. Since you're not acting as an official Ubuntu representative, I mean. === jack is now known as Guest72386 [07:38] I'm really not sure, this is a problem of mine and I apologize for it [07:38] Is there a way I can contact official Ubuntu members? [07:39] I wouldn't apologize. It's not an off-topic subject. I think there's a link at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [07:41] PatrickDickey: Oh man... I can't figure this stuff out.. :( I'll just head out for now === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [07:42] Nothing_Much: There's an email link in the FAQ. But my interpretation is that unless you're a member, or you're posting on the wiki or forums, then it doesn't apply to you. [07:45] Hey folks. [07:46] Hey contrapunctus. [07:47] I'm using udisks in a script to mount disks at boot (and set the script to not require a sudo password in the sudoers file), but while it works, the directories are inaccessible for anyone save the root. chmod, chown, no difference...thoughts? === gmachine_24_ is now known as gmachine_24 [07:57] How can I edit the ubuntu wiki? I can see some errors in the Joomla tutorial but it said "login to edit" and now I'm logged in there seems to be no edit button [08:00] sharperguy: You probably have to get permission. There should be some information about how to become an editor. [08:01] hi [08:01] Doesn anyone know how I can change "peyam@peyam:@ in terminal to just "Peyam"? [08:04] PatrickDickey: doesn't really seem worth it if all I want to do is change some backticks to quotation marks :/ [08:06] hi there [08:06] hey [08:06] hw r u [08:06] good, do you have a support issue? [08:07] well ijust needed some info [08:07] ok [08:07] what exactly is an inode in linux === HisaoNakai is now known as contrapunctus [08:07] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inode [08:07] hey folks, I've been warned that UEFI makes shopping for a laptop really difficult. How much truth is there to this? [08:08] why would you need to worry about UEFI? [08:09] Been told it has some lockdown that makes it so you can't install linux on some/most models. I'm here to see if that's remotely close to the truth. [08:09] Hi i have problem updating as it hangs on bad signatures. i were here some days ago and got help but we got stuck as updating the sinatures did not seem to help. I hoped it would go better today :) http://pastebin.com/mEF4fqXA [08:09] some windows 8 conspiracy or something. My friend may just be misinformed/dumb. [08:09] that is not the truth. It might have been the truth a few years ago when UEFI first came out. That isn't a problem at all now. [08:09] I'm using udisks in a script to mount disks at boot (and set the script to not require a sudo password in the sudoers file), but while it works, the directories are inaccessible for anyone save the root. chmod, chown, no difference...thoughts? [08:09] if the specific distro doesn't have EFI keys(Ubuntu does) then install it in legacy mode. [08:10] I'd be installing either ubuntu or mint, so I'm probably fine in that regard [08:10] Corbin: just so you know, mint is not supported in this channel [08:11] I will warn you about Toshiba laptops. All the ones I've messed with, I've had to manually install the wireless driver [08:11] I am aware, not really asking for mint specific support [08:11] Corbin: Ben64: That still does not really mean that one can't just say Ubuntu instead of Mint :p [08:11] @thom_r i was asked today why does inode no doesnt change incase of cut n paste and change in caseof copy paste [08:12] The_john, I don't know the answer to that question. Hopefully someone else can help you in that regard [08:12] thom_r: i wasn't really looking at toshibas anyway, thinking a dell, asus, maybe even a sony if I feel like splurging but to be honest I haven't done significant research into laptops in 3 years. [08:13] hello i need some help runing a exe file. wine will not run it directly.so i need to know the command to run it manualy [08:13] anybody with an ans or a hint? === dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar [08:13] what is a good tool to preview images? [08:13] as long as I can install ubuntu or mint (i mean ubuntu sorry) without any problems besides the normal linux compatibility issues that have always existed, I'm happy [08:14] i was never good with commands [08:14] Corbin, you should be able to install it on just about anything. If you can, take a live usb and test it out on a display model [08:15] not a bad idea, I have the newest mint release on a usb already. just have to make sure frys doesn't get angry at me for trying [08:15] hello i need some help runing a exe file. wine will not run it directly.so i need to know the command to run it manualy [08:15] Hmm it seems like libssh2-1 dont come from a autenticiated suorce and that i cant update [08:16] Can i be hacked?

[08:34] anyone that could help me understand why ipconfig reports no trafic on eth0 ? [08:34] ifocnig sorry [08:34] l9: you mean ifconfig? and how are you seeing no traffic using that? [08:35] l9: Does it show an IP address for eth0? [08:35] Ben64: ifconfig reports RX and TX as 0.0 B [08:35] PatrickDickey: yeah [08:35] the lo has 1.5GB [08:36] l9: What is the IP Address that it's showing? [08:36] PatrickDickey: it shows my home network ip 10.0.0.151 [08:36] l9: are the RX and TX packets non-zero? [08:36] l9: Are you able to ping anything? [08:37] Ben64: just one 0 on both [08:38] PatrickDickey: sure i reach everything on the network [08:38] l9: Out of curiosity, does collisions have anything other than 0? [08:38] for me it looks like all trafic goes trough lo [08:38] l9: And how about outside of the network? [08:38] strange for lo to have 1.5GB too, mine shows 111MB after 3 weeks of uptime [08:38] RX has dropped 165 packets [08:38] * PatrickDickey has 401366 for lo and 66034397 for eth0 [08:39] RX bytes:1589690775 (1.5 GB) TX bytes:1589690775 (1.5 GB) [08:39] after 21h uptime [08:39] thats the lo [08:39] very unusual [08:39] are you using some kind like ssh tunneling to local port? [08:40] Unforgiven: I was thinking the same thing so i did a nmap of localhost but no port showed up [08:40] l9: Are you on the computer right now? Or are you in here from a different computer? [08:41] even if it was a tunnel it'd have to go out on a different interface [08:41] on the computer now [08:41] hi [08:41] only interfaces that shows up are eth0 and lo [08:42] l9: can you pastebin "ifconfig -a -v" [08:42] i am on wifi, using ssh tunnel for my browsing, so the traffic of my browsing goes to lo [08:43] Unforgiven: still would have to go out on wlan0 or whatever or you wouldn't be able to do anything [08:43] http://pastebin.com/m9HNQQxL [08:43] Ben64: not really it will goes to local port first and yeah it also will hit the wlan0 [08:43] Unforgiven: Thats nonsense. An ssh tunnel doesnt make traffic magically go to lo. [08:43] so both are increasing in traffic [08:43] eh? === Moo is now known as Guest12987 [08:45] i did a netstat dump of the trafic on eth0 just too make sure there actually are trafic there and there was :P [08:46] l9: so how big was the traffic on eth0 [08:46] l9: 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. [08:48] PatrickDickey: http://pastebin.com/y6TxNjs7 [08:48] thats sudo ethtool eth0 === comrade is now known as Guest4685 === Mars is now known as Guest38571 [08:53] l9: Try sudo ethtool -S eth0 (should show the network statistics) [08:53] no stats available [08:54] starting too look like this computer might be comprimised or something [08:55] okay folks, anything I should know about this sony laptop with regards to ubuntu or is it most likely fine?

[08:59] so i download 12.4 LTS check the checksum. and make a boot stick.... tried with the boot stick tool and the unetboot etc etc... and no matter what i always get a broken stick... i've tried 4different brand new sticks on 5 different computers and the same shit every time [08:59] my most graphically intense games are minecraft and FTL so as long as it does those and can output 1080p to my TV fine i'm content [09:01] theuser: 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. [09:02] l9: 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.

What brand are they? [09:04] PatrickDickey: hopefully it is just the driver and not what I fear it might be. Right at this moment i dont trust my computer and the files on it... [09:04] theuser: What I mean is that they might have a virtual CD-ROM in their firmware or something else that's being booted instead of Ubuntu. [09:05] PatrickDickey: Kingston, SanDisk, Corshair, and some other stick that has no brand [09:05] Well l9, I can tell you that it's harder to hack Linux. And especially if you're running behind a NAT. [09:05] PatrickDickey: oh they mostly boot.... but "disk" check fails and install attempts fail... [09:06] theuser: Is there any reason why you can't use an Optical Disk? [09:06] You are certain the computers are set to boot from USB and they are capable of doing it? [09:07] PatrickDickey: the utter and complete absence of drives other than an old IDE drive that nothing i have will accept [09:07] theuser: You could try an alternate disc for 12.04. I'm pretty sure that's still available (I think it was in 12.10 or later that they dropped the alternate). [09:07] PatrickDickey: already downloading it [09:08] theuser: When you try booting, does it at least get to the installation screens? Or does it crash before that? [09:09] hello, all i just replaced windows8 with 8.1 and now during boot i am not able to see ubuntu i mean its directly booting to windows [09:09] PatrickDickey: I moved from Slack to Ubuntu in like 08-09 and it was fairly stable and fine... past year ive been running in to shit with ubuntu.... really not the good system it once was [09:09] theuser: please keep the language clean [09:09] if i reinstall grub2 will it solve my problem?

Unless you have a reason to put it in the partition, that is.

I'm going to move my home dirs over to this too. Should I do 2 partitions on each drive (1 for/home) and then 2 RAID 1s (one for each partition)? [10:52] no.. [10:52] irvingd_: I'd suggest a degraded raid5 rather than a raid1 === dhruvasagar_away is now known as dhruvasagar [10:53] can i install arch and get online out of the box?

[10:53] !arch [10:53] this is not the correct place to discuss arch [10:53] true ty [10:54] nevyn: why's that? because of the partitions or just in general? [10:54] can someone please tell me the arch channel? [10:54] irvingd_: in general. my preference is a single raid with lvm on top [10:54] bingo, #archlinux [10:54] ty [10:55] hi [10:56] nevyn: ah ok. If I were to stick with RAID 1 though - would the way I suggested above be the way to set up for 2 partitions? Or doesn't that work? [10:56] so what you're saying will work. [10:56] but what I'm saying is more flexible and futureproof [10:57] in particular you can add more space by adding a single 2tb drive to it [10:58] and partitions are stupid and limiting === dv__ is now known as dv_ [10:58] irvingd_: ^^ [10:58] nevyn: I didn't really want to partition - but wondering how else to get /home sorted. Still quite noob :) Thought I'd need 2 partitions - 1 for /home and one for everything else [10:59] irvingd_: partitions are dumb. they're difficult to make bigger reliably [10:59] irvingd: just a suggestion, but you may want to avoid raid altogether [10:59] ok this I gotta hear. === Freejack is now known as Guest13591 [11:02] hi 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 ?! === sjoos is now known as JoeL === JoeL is now known as Guest58210 === Guest58210 is now known as sjoos [11:04] nevyn: yeah - I'd rather not partition if I can help it. The 2 disks will have home dirs and a huge amount of media files / email / etc. How would I get /home mounted / available without partitioning?

[11:09] looking for the line(s) to change to make AltGr in to Meta_R [11:09] currently on /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us [11:09] irvingd_: do you anticipate needing more storage ever. [11:09] nevyn: to avoid raid [11:10] why? [11:10] anyone quickly know the answer? [11:10] hi 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] 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? [11:11] irvingd_: so it's the same [11:11] irvingd_: the advantage is you can extend it on the fly by adding another disk [11:11] and if you're using lvm as I suggest you can grow the whole thing [11:11] so it looks like this [11:12] physical disks with a partition which is type linux autoraid [11:12] assembled into an md0 which is the pv for an lvm vg which you carve lv's out of for /home and / [11:13] nevyn: sounds interesting - esp as I'm likely to have another 2TB disk freed up soon when I move the OS over to SSD [11:14] irvingd_: so to extend my scheme... [11:14] you add the new physical to the md0... [11:14] which becomes a non-degraded 3 disk raid 5 [11:14] (4tb usable) [11:14] help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee [11:15] you then extend the /home lv in lvm using lvextend [11:15] and extend the filesystem [11:15] these are all operations that can be performed online while the system is up and in use. [11:15] irvingd_: ^^ [11:16] 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 + lvm [11:17] yes its a huge waste of effort - but enjoyable :) Really appreciate the advice! [11:17] noooo... [11:17] if you get an ssd.. [11:17] you should us dmcache... [11:17] under lvm. [11:17] so you have md -> dmcache -> lvm -> /home or / [11:17] sorry, I meant raid 5 would be for the 3 2TB disks [11:18] yeah. [11:18] not the ssd [11:18] so the ssd for dmcache? [11:19] it sounds interesting... [11:19] 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] sure. [11:19] just put the os on a seperate lv [11:21] 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] irvingd_: also. if you do raid 1 [11:21] <_Myself> Oh, had just run "sudo lshw -class video" and saw that my GPU clock is 66Mhz instead of 200 [11:21] you have to back everything up to migrate [11:21] <_Myself> Any toughts ? [11:21] 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 :) [11:22] hrm. famous last words... [11:23] check out my final product. http://www.thecutestgeek.com/wildguppy [11:24] 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 this [11:24] yeah. but partitions are sucky limited and inflexible. [11:25] nevyn: but only until next week :) [11:25] lvm is far more elegant it has names instead of numbers. [11:25] they can be modified on the fly. (shrunk/grown) [11:25] they can be moved between underlying things on the fly [11:25] 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 etc [11:26] irvingd_: I'd leave raid alone and just do lvm rather than that. [11:26] j sickbeard [11:27] nevyn: :) We'll see! Thanks, been really helpful! [11:27] <_Myself> My GPU isnt running at the excepted clock. 66Mhz instead of 200Mhz [11:28] _Myself: which gpu with which driver? [11:29] <_Myself> An IGP to be more precisly, SiS 661/741/760.

[12:06] HexSquid, greetings [12:06] <_Myself> My IGP/GPU driver were built for other xorg version (7.1), actually i have 7.6 (i think) who recommends me to downgrade ? [12:07] Hi folks. I'm on Ubuntu-gnome 13.04. When I try to 'Connect to Ubuntu One' from the backup app nothing happens, any ideas? [12:08] cfhowlett: before it's been tested? [12:08] My system has windows7. want to take back of C drive only was using REDO backup. should i also include the 100MB partition or not ? [12:08] Hi. I just updated to 13.10. My laptop FN-keys work successfull under gnome, however they do not work anymore under i3wm (different window manager). What can I do ? [12:09] gordonjcp, 13.10 has been alpha'd, tested, and released already. [12:12] soo, it's only 100 mb? why NOT include it? [12:14] cfhowlett: so they didn't catch all the crippling bugs that render it unusable? [12:14] cfhowlett: or did they only test it with people who use en_US keyboards? [12:14] cfhowlett: and who never need to play back audio files [12:15] _Myself: what is the actual problem you're experiencing? i don't think downgrading your xorg stack is even feasible or advisable ..

[12:54] _Myself: i see you have the xorg-edgers version installed, which is fine .. unfortunately it looks like you can't really do much about it, as the SiS card is quite esoteric and closed source .. it won't give you 3D hardware acceleration but besides that it seems to work fine [12:55] <_Myself> Yea, i only need the right clock and 2d acceleration === dextrey_ is now known as dextrey [12:56] _Myself: do you have a configuration option with that card, something like sisctrl? [12:57] _Myself: "which sisctrl" to find out [12:57] <_Myself> I really didnt understood [12:57] <_Myself> I saw an open source driver made for diferent xorg version [12:57] <_Myself> Will that help ?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:02] _Myself: i got the info on the possible sisctrl command from that site .. that's kind of like a GUI configuration tool you could use to set clock etc .. but i'm afraid that's not available on your specific card/driver combo .. running "which sisctrl" would confirm you have that or not [13:04] Does someone know a good tool to get data (e.g. font sizes, font names, ...) from a photoshop file? GIMP can't handle text layers, and does not show everything as in the original... [13:07] sfhowlett; I have problem with dropbox client, I'm running Ubuntu 13.10.

[13:09] _Myself: if you have it yes, that looks to be the only way you could at least try to configure the card [13:10] <_Myself> I dont have it, should i download it ? [13:10] <_Myself> I do sisctrl and nothing, command not found [13:10] Ok so I'll try reinstallation [13:11] _Myself: yes i think you're out of luck on this one .. unfortunately .. that site does have the source available, you could try to build it manually [13:11] Czupa, I'd suggest otherwise [13:11] Czupa, delete the configuration folder and reconfigure [13:11] <_Myself> Actually i only know Lua Script, i need to know C++ to build it ? [13:13] _Myself: http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsispart4.shtml#download .. look at #6 .. but it only supports kernel versions 2.4 to 2.6 .. and you don't need to know C++ no, just follow the instructions under #6 on that page [13:13] How do I find out which device is the one for the memory card [13:14] cfhowlett ; .dropbox is the configuration folder, isn't it? [13:14] Czupa, correct. nuke that and restart the configuration process [13:16] _Myself: sorry i messed up, it is #7 you need to look at [13:16] <_Myself> _Myself: and #4, which offers a GTK2 tool if you can build it [13:17] trying to install mplayer and getting that i have broken packages. can't resolve it with synaptic. here's the errors i get from synaptic http://dpaste.com/1547710/ [13:18] cfhowlett ; There's unexpected error, when I try to log in. I can login to dropbox web page without any problems. [13:18] Czupa, confusing - error messages? [13:20] I wonder, .. I've just noticed that 13.04 is only supported until january this year so 9months, .. however I also noticed that 13.10 stinks and 13.04 is way more stable then 13.10 why is that? [13:21] Ofloo, hardly a technical description of specific issues which might be solvable. For extended support, install the LTS version; currently 12.04 but 14.04 will be out in 3 months. [13:21] I understand lets say the volume bar icon it has been a bug since the release [13:22] cfhowlett ; It is in my native language so my translation may be the same as in the english version; "An unexpacted error occured. Try again later." [13:22] i installed it last week the bug is still there [13:22] There is several things wrong with it yet none of witch are solved since the release [13:23] Czupa, huh. well, try later , certainly. the fact you can access the website is good. I'd *guess* the solution is in proper configuration. [13:23] No it isn't it there was a if line that was supposed to included whether it was 32bit or 64bit [13:23] point is that people sine the release delivered a solution and that it hasn't been implemented bothers me [13:23] so makes me wonder [13:24] Ofloo, I'd *guess* that with the more limited lifespan, more effort is devoted to higher priority bugs. fixes may or may not be backported. === iScript994 is now known as iScript717 [13:24] So I can assume that 14.04LTS is going to be more stable? [13:25] Ofloo, less cutting/bleeding edge, more stable ... [13:25] cfhowlett: well i only can assume since it is being released in 3 months as stable [13:26] Ofloo, my $0.02; unless you have a specific and definite need for the latest/greatest shiny version, just run LTS. Fewer headaches by far. [13:27] YMMC [13:27] YMMV [13:28] cfhowlett: I've been running linux for more then 10years however that hasn't always proven to be true. [13:28] Can anyone tell me the purpose of the command "postrotate invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null" when using logrotate to rotate logfiles (in my case iptables logs)? [13:28] 2.Giorni.A.New.York [13:28] Ofloo, point taken. Just sayin' that it works well for me. [13:28] noted, .. [13:28] !wfm [13:28] cfhowlett: I know I am still using 12.04 LTS [13:28] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [13:29] I guess i'm going to wait untill 14.04 releases and then find out ;) [13:29] thank you for your answers [13:29] Ofloo, best of luck and hope that the next version is closer to your specifications and expectations [13:29] oh if i continue to run 13.04 for like 3months will that mean there's no security updates for the remaining 3 months? [13:30] Question: Using the 12.04 Studio Uduntu version. I want steam to start up automatically...how do I correct this issue? [13:30] Ofloo, once it hits End of Life that's all she wrote ... [13:30] ic then i better downgrade to 12.04 [13:30] Yud_Zroc, system settings > Session and startup > application autostart [13:31] Ofloo: you'll also not be able to install any new software from the repos [13:31] Yud_Zroc, or go into system settings > session and startup and save the session [13:31] hitsujiTMO: hmm, .. [13:31] cfhowlett: Thankyou [13:31] Yud_Zroc, be safe, have fun [13:32] thank you, .. it's kinda fucked cause i just installed the os, .. yesterday and i just have it the way i wanted :p after 13.10 horror week [13:32] oh well [13:32] thanks anyways [13:32] <_Myself> glistsj16 [13:33] _Myself: yes? [13:33] Ofloo: I know the feeling, I am using 12,04 but im usoing xfce for studio ubuntu, and I am up to my knees in crash reports lol [13:34] <_Myself> http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsispart4.shtml Sorry, dont know which instalation guide i should do.

See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 [13:35] Munster, older desktops might prefer xubuntu or lubuntu ...

SiSCtrl (SiS/XGI Display Control Panel) .. it's a longshot though, seeing the source dates back to 2005 [13:36] cfhowlett, well 6 yrs old and it's still ticking away here [13:36] Munster, nice! on vanilla ubuntu?

[13:40] antonio__, please see my private message [13:40] hitsujiTMO, is THAT what he was doing? [13:40] hitsujiTMO: is there a more up to date way to do this config reload with upstart then?

Is there a way to install the "old" gnome-settings-daemon?

[13:43] fpghost84: that was the sysv way to reload. service should be used instead with upstart [13:43] hitsujiTMO: thank you very much. Do you know where I could read more about these things, I'm somewhat curious...I read the rsyslog man but it didn't shed much light. Maybe I should read more about upstart [13:43] _Myself: it's the regular 3 step ./configure .. ./make .. ./make install routine, i can't tell you much more :) [13:43] hitsujiTMO: thanks, very useful to know [13:44] !upstart | fpghost84 [13:44] fpghost84: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [13:44] <_Myself> What apps do i need ? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [13:46] hitsujiTMO: 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". Cool [13:46] <_Myself> glistsj16, what programs do i need ? [13:47] fpghost84: more or less. lots of changes with upstart as regards the init process mainly, but yeah, use the service command [13:47] _Myself: it mentions libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev and libx11-dev .. so install those and give it a shot [13:47] Why does ubuntu use OpenJDK instead of the standard JDK from Oracle?

[13:50] <_Myself> ok === edwin is now known as Guest98144 [13:51] hitsujiTMO: thanks [13:51] hitsujiTMO: Thats unfortunate for them. Should I worry about developing with OpenJDK for cross platform capabilitys or does that not matter (Ubuntu is my development OS) === Guest98144 is now known as eden === eden is now known as Guest53258 === Guest53258 is now known as pinot [13:55] Yud_Zroc: for the most part it shouldn't matter. But, generally speaking, unless you're developing just for OS that contain OpenJDK then you should stick with the the Oracle JDK, or at a minimum testing on the Oracle JRE. It's not difficult to instll at least [13:56] Yud_Zroc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java <- oracle jdk install instructions should be here [13:56] hitsujiTMO: thankyou so much...i was about to ask for that.... lol [13:56] Hello, brand new user just testing out Empathy :) [13:57] !test | Vostok_test [13:57] Vostok_test: Testing...

[14:01] Vostok_test, it can go from 10MB/s to 0B/s in seconds and back again a minute later, ... [14:02] It can vary greatly with Ubuntu, but bot with Windows? [14:02] not* [14:02] Vostok_test: depends on the turrent you're downloading and number/quality of seeders vs leechers === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [14:03] Right, I'm aware of that.

So could I install the openvpn server on a machine that I have in my home network? [14:06] I would prefer to use the Deluge client over Transmission, but Deluge gives a warning saying "no incoming connections", depsite the BT port rage being successfully added in router.

[14:35] Hello [14:35] Eagle, you should try powering cycling the machines seperately [14:35] hello [14:35] I 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 [14:36] TJ-: the driver seems to work fine according to _Myself's Xorg.0.log, only without 2D acceleration indeed [14:36] can anyone help me? [14:36] 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?

[14:39] TJ-: thanks .. _Myself: seems like there's a more promising route by adding the PPA TJ- showed [14:40] Eagleman: I'm trying to be clear as to whether the UPS is on battery only, when servers are restarted? [14:40] TJ-, 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 starts [14:40] <_Myself> I should add the PPA he said ? [14:40] Eagleman: The UPS falls back to battery? I don't get that? If there is line power why is it falling back to battery? [14:41] ew [14:41] TJ- becuase something is wrong with the USB cable, if i unplug the usb cable when being in that process, it never falls back to battery [14:41] _Myself: yes that seems to be a better approach, worst-case scenario is that it doesn't improve your issue and you can purge the PPA again [14:41] Eagleman: So isn't that a UPS issue? what model UPS is it? [14:41] <__raven_> do you know about a way to display a changing textline out of a textfile on a position on the screen? something like a tail -f overlay [14:41] TJ- but yeh, im not sure about what is causing it [14:42] TJ- Back-UPS Pro 900, also look at: http://forums.apc.com/thread/7758?start=0&tstart=0 [14:42] TJ- it doesnt happen with Windows and the powerChute software.

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 itself [14:53] TJ- would i be able to test that?

[14:58] Munster yes but the problem is that my network manager can't detect my network device even though I can browse the web [14:59] Eagleman: See post 29 paragraph 4 [15:00] Munster_, and I use a VPS [15:00] Hi every one. I am using ubuntu 12.04 now I want to install KDE in that what is the proceedure [15:00] TJ-, its very hard for me to understand it since i do have no knowledge of electrical "troubleshooting" and terms. [15:01] Eagleman: The UPS believes there is an overload on its outputs and shuts down [15:01] Eagleman: Do these PCs have monitors attached or are they headless? [15:01] Anton__, open a terminal , run sudo dhclient eth0, if you're using ethernet [15:02] <__raven_> do you know about a way to display a changing textline out of a textfile on a position on the screen? something like a tail -f overlay [15:02] TJ- headless, i tried touching my pc with the Iron USB Shield, but it stays on 16w === jack is now known as Guest54925 [15:04] Munster it says "cannot find device eth0" [15:05] <_Myself> TJ, glistsj16, successfully added that PPA, did an update and an upgrade [15:05] <_Myself> Should i restart or what ? [15:05] Eagleman: Have you tested the UPS with each PC connected on its own?

[15:07] _Myself: did you install anything new from that PPA? [15:08] TJ- there is currently 1 PC attached, but if i unplug the USB cable just before restoring the power it never switches to the battery [15:08] <_Myself> 3 things wait [15:09] <_Myself> Installed this new things : _Myself(+i)] [2:freenode/#ubuntu(+CLcjnt)] [Act: 1] [15:09] <_Myself> [#ubuntu] _Myself(+i)] [2:freenode/#ubuntu(+CLcjnt)] [Act: 1] [15:09] <_Myself> [#ubuntu] Nnosnaono [15:09] <_Myself> kkk, mistake [15:09] Eagleman: What I think is happening is there is a design fault in the UPS... I suspect that the earth of the UPS AC outlets is at a slightly different potential to the ground of the internal UPS electronic DC supply... which would cause a difference the overload protection might detect [15:10] TJ-, but its not happening on Windows as far as i've tested [15:10] <_Myself> glistsj16, TJ, installed this new things : cryptsetup-bin libcryptsetup4 mountall [15:10] Eagleman: I'd be checking the PCs also, to ensure the AC earth is connected well to the motherboard and chassis of the PC [15:11] Eagleman: What Linux drivers are you using?

About two months ago, I have released a newer version of a sticky notes application called Xpad. It has been released on Launchpad, but I have a hard time getting it into the repositories.I have contacted some package maintainers, but they do not respond to my emails. Does anybody have a suggestion to get this newer version in the Debian/Ubun [15:11] TJ- i've ran both centos and ubuntu and windows on the same pc. [15:12] <_Myself> glistsj16, TJ, installed this new things : cryptsetup-bin libcryptsetup4 mountall [15:12] Eagleman: which apcupsd version? [15:12] _Myself: those could be dependencies, not sure, the most important thing is either xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-quantal or xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-raring which actually contains an updated or patched driver for your card [15:12] <_Myself> ok [15:12] TJ-, latest wuth apt-get install apcupsd [15:12] <_Myself> Will restart now then >.< [15:12] <_Myself> GL MYSELF [15:13] _Myself: yeah, goodluck [15:13] ArthurBorsboom, you probably contacted the wrong person(s) [15:13] Hi Perssimist... [15:13] I have contacted two people... one is the maintainer of the Debian package, called Bart Martens. [15:14] <_Myself> BRB [15:14] Does Ubuntu have the same system of package maintainers? [15:14] ArthurBorsboom: #ubuntu-packaging might also be able to answer your questions on that if you haven't already tried there [15:15] Ah, thanks that might help. I will join that channel [15:15] I just need a push in the right direction :) [15:15] hi, pals! how to install nautilus 3.6 in ub12.04.3 ? [15:15] ArthurBorsboom: very welcome, using xpad myself, nice and lightweight [15:16] I like it too, that's why I took control of development and released a newer version, with a lot of bugfixes and some new features. [15:17] If your are interested to see what changed: https://launchpad.net/xpad/trunk/4.2 [15:17] nautilus 3.4 makes high cpu for kernel3.10.18 in 12.04 [15:17] ArthurBorsboom: good to know that thank you [15:17] i'm still on the 4.1 [15:18] Yeah 4.1 is the latest one in the repositories... exactly my point :) [15:18] I try to get it into the Debian/Ubuntu repositories, but until now, I fail to do so... which is a waste of development time ;) [15:19] I am new to the release procedure, so therefore I need a little help. [15:20] ArthurBorsboom: i understand, hopefully someone in #ubuntu-packaging can help getting things moving, especially for the upcoming 14.04 LTS [15:20] For now there is no response in #ubuntu-packaging... do you have other suggestions? [15:22] <_Myself> Bac [15:22] ArthurBorsboom: not really sorry, i'm just a user volunteering on this channel [15:22] Eagleman: Have you/are you able to test the UPS with a laptop/notebook with the USB cable connected to see if that does the same thing? [15:22] <_Myself> glitsj16 [15:22] <_Myself> Still getting that error at the log [15:22] Hi [15:22] <_Myself> Can i remove the driver and then install it from a specific repo ? [15:23] No problem. You at least helped me in providing a new channel.. :) [15:23] can I safely use gparted to modify partitions on a disk from which I booted a system (assuming that I don''t modify the boot partition)? [15:23] _Myself: argh, seems a stubborn card to get going [15:23] <_Myself> So, can i ? [15:24] <_Myself> Or should i ? [15:24] 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 in [15:24] _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 PPA [15:25] MarkDavies: it's really not that much work to boot a LiveCD, so just play it safe [15:25] <_Myself> No, xorg edgers or something has that drivers too [15:26] _Myself: i assume you added xorg-edgers because the original driver in precise also didn't work good for you? [15:26] <_Myself> yes [15:26] <_Myself> also i have the X-something repo too [15:26] <_Myself> lemme check [15:26] _Myself: x-swat? [15:26] daftykins: OK. And the second question: applications like "gparted" tell me that one needs to be root in order to run them. But then Ubuntu doesn't even have root user. How can I deal with it nicely? [15:27] TJ- and 2) a temporary leakage current from the PC to the UPS via the chassis ground is causing spurious overload protection to cut in [15:27] _Myself: glitsj16: I'd recommend using "apt-cache policy " to confirm *which* package is installed [15:27] <_Myself> X-Updates [15:27] So it must be suggestion 1) [15:28] shoud I use sudo privileges? [15:28] 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] <_Myself> Whats the name of the driver ? ( xorg-blablCa-bla-sis ) [15:28] <_Myself> package* [15:28] TJ- Laptop with windows or linux [15:28] ? [15:29] Eagleman: The 'flag' I propose could be a "temporarily ignore overload state when restarting" thing [15:29] <__raven_> do you know about a way to display a changing textline out of a textfile on a position on the screen? something like a tail -f overlay [15:29] I can't seem to figure out last version of Ubuntu that supported SquashFS 3.1 [15:29] TJ- Laptop with windows or linux? i got 2 laptops with both windows [15:30] <_Myself> glitsj16 [15:30] <_Myself> Whats the name of driver package ? [15:30] OK, it's enough tu use sudo application [15:30] <_Myself> xorg-video-something-sis ? [15:30] _Myself: xserver-xorg-video-sis .. follow TJ-'s advice and check with .. apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-si* [15:30] Eagleman: Linux, so you can replicate the same scenario [15:30] <_Myself> Yes, what im doing [15:30] @glitsj16: thanks mate... I am in contact in ubuntu-packaging... leaving this channel now. [15:31] TJ-, yeh that wont be an option, maybe if i install it on a usb stick [15:31] _Myself: paste the output of that so we can confirm [15:31] Which failed last time [15:31] <_Myself> Sure [15:31] ArthurBorsboom: no trouble, best of luck with the developing [15:33] __raven_: conky should be able to do that [15:33] Eagleman: Use a liveISO on a USB stick?

[16:03] hitsujiTMO, its not working when adding universe [16:04] uit [16:04] quit [16:04] _Myself: hi again, purging a PPA also drops the packages from that PPA back to their original versions from the regular ubuntu repos [16:04] how do i quit with irssi [16:04] Eagleman: can you try: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:05] Eagleman: the line will be something like "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main universe" and then you must do "sudo apt-get update" [16:05] <_Myself> ok, but i added the Repo by sources.list [16:05] <_Myself> Not by PPA [16:05] TJ- i got that [16:05] Eagleman: what version of Ubuntu is it? [16:05] 12.04.3365477235742 [16:06] something like that D: [16:06] Alright it works now, was about to jump out of my window [16:06] <_Myself> glitsj16 [16:06] is there a way to completely reset lightdm to default settings? [16:07] _Myself: can you pastebin the output of apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-sis, we can check what you have right now and look into the PPA situation later on [16:07] 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/" [16:08] malimbar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66533/how-can-i-restore-configuration-files [16:08] TJ-, should I just delete the files in /etc/lightdm? [16:09] <_Myself> glitsj16 [16:09] <_Myself> http://pastebin.com/975GSUNF [16:10] _Myself: still showing driver from xorg-edgers .. we need to take a look at your /etc/apt/sources.list if you added that manually in there, sp pastebin that also [16:10] malinator: No! [16:11] malimbar: No! [16:11] Anyone have java working on chrome? I'm unable to get java to work. ubuntu 12.04.3 [16:11] well, good thing I didn't do that [16:11] TJ- got my Live USB now, what did i had to test? [16:12] <_Myself> So Yes i added mannually at sources [16:12] <_Myself> Should i remove it ? [16:13] <_Myself> glitsj16 [16:13] <_Myself> So Yes i added mannually at sources [16:13] <_Myself> Should i remove it ? [16:14] _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 sure [16:15] <_Myself> okok [16:17] _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 safer [16:17] hitsujiTMO I'm trying the one you gave and restarting with lightdm. [16:17] which is the best flight simulator for Ubuntu Linux [16:18] geeks: flightgear [16:19] What should be the Specs of computer to run the flightgear?? [16:22] TJ-, i attached the laptop to my ups, installed everything, and i am now simulating a power outage [16:22] glitsj16: If the bug-fix PPA has been added you can force that package to be installed using "sudo apt-get install =" ... "apt-cache policy " will obtain the exact version string [16:22] Eagleman: Yay :) [16:23] TJ-, after the UPS went off i booted up my laptop, and the UPS went to battery once aigan [16:23] it will soon get cut off from power [16:24] Eagleman: Is that with the laptop taking power from the UPS [16:24] TJ-: yes thanks, just waiting on _Myself to give the go ahead [16:24] Yes [16:24] but ofcurse the laptop still has a bettery [16:24] battery [16:24] Eagleman: Can you try it again with the laptop not connected to the UPS power outlets? [16:25] TJ- with the ups cable still attached? [16:25] usb* [16:25] Eagleman: Yes... having its own battery is useful since the laptop should continue logging any output from the UPS into the apcups log file... we hope! [16:25] Eagleman: Yes, with USB attached [16:25] TJ- dont expect to much from logs, there is almost no usefull info [16:25] hello, is somewhere where I could speak french ? :) [16:25] TJ- and with the USB cable still attached it will still shutdown the laptop [16:25] Eagleman: Really? well you might get some overload warning logged [16:26] <_Myself> Will be right back [16:26] !ubuntu-fr | nico [16:26] !fr | nico_ [16:26] nico_: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [16:26] thank you ! [16:26] nico_: ce n'est rien, bon chance [16:26] TJ- and with the USB cable still attached it will still shutdown the laptop [16:27] So i am not sure what you want [16:28] 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 immediately [16:28] <_Myself> BRB [16:28] hitsujiTMO, that didn't seem to work. lightdm still doesn't load, and comes up with the error [16:29] Eagleman: I think it'll be option #1 in apctest [16:29] My network manager doesn't detect any networking devices even though my internet works and I can browse the web. This is a problem since any VPN that I add gets greyed out - http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/827/3c9b.png [16:29] would you use LVM when installing ubuntu 13.10 server virtually ? [16:30] TJ- amd if there are no logs? [16:30] I use a VPS [16:30] hiii [16:30] Eagleman: I see in "man apctest" there is interesting info against "option 7)" ... about adjusting sensitivity to avoid the UPS switching to batteries. [16:30] Eagleman: Tell it to log more! [16:31] what lo [16:31] TJ- i am afraid we can troubleshoot all we want, but will never find a solution, i am loosing hope [16:31] is there a channel dedicated to UEFI problems_ [16:31] ? [16:31] malimbar: can you: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log [16:31] :p [16:32] TJ- i adjusted sensitivity before, didnt help [16:32] Eagleman: That's good to know [16:32] !alis | aagh: not sure but you can search for it [16:32] aagh: not sure but you can search for it: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [16:33] Eagleman: I'd suggest you post to the apcupsd user mailing list with this; especially pointing out how using the Windows USB drivers the UPS behaves on restart but using the apcupsd USb driver the UPS seems to go into an overload protection mode [16:34] GRUB UEFI installation guides talk about grub2-install which isn't included in packages and the ones that only mention the available grub-install talk about --target option which doesn't exist === revagomes__ is now known as revagomes [16:34] malimbar: that should generate a url at the end. just copy the url here [16:34] TJ- i will never get the answer in time, i can bring back this UPS and get my money back within 2 weeks [16:34] OMFG [16:35] didnt restart the apcupsd service and now it shutdown, another 5 minutes to waste [16:35] aagh: "grub2-install" is written purely to make it clear that "grub-install" v1 cannot do UEFI boot manager stuff [16:35] hitsujiTMO, http://pastebin.com/zdKiiwCn [16:36] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB_EFI_Examples#K450_IdeaCentre look at the end of the page [16:36] aagh: If you've installed GRUB v2 the "grub-install" has the "--target" option [16:36] oh [16:36] aagh: "apt-cache policy grub2" [16:36] I removed xorgedgers from sources.list, added xorgedgers throught PPA, removed throught ppa-purge and still cant upgrade the drivers. Any thoughts [16:37] glitsj16 [16:37] aagh: Have you got the UEFI system partition mounted at /boot/efi/ ? [16:37] I removed xorgedgers from sources.list, added xorgedgers throught PPA, removed throught ppa-purge and still cant upgrade the drivers. Any thoughts [16:37] ? [16:37] does anyone have any experience running robocode on ubuntu 13.10? i downloaded it but it doesn't launch [16:37] malimbar: is this ubuntu or kubuntu or which? === nico_ is now known as eyhtern [16:38] saskslayer: ow you're back .. so what does apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-* output now? [16:38] how could i fix this error (upgrading mint 15 -> 16)? http://paste.debian.net/75773/ (libmatekbd-common) [16:38] Hello,everyone .Happy to join the group. === whiskers75 is now known as meow [16:38] TJ-: I have it mounted at /media/fuevoiqnquivn/boot/efi [16:38] Hello, is there a guide for updating the AMD Catalyst drivers? Can I just run the installer, or do I need to uninstall anyting? [16:39] glitsj16 === meow is now known as whiskers75 [16:39] Oh sorry [16:39] so short of ditching 13.10 altogether, is there a way round the crippling keyboard layout bug? [16:39] TJ-: I'm using Ubuntu Live CD [16:39] gordonjcp: Which bug? Never experienced it. [16:39] aagh: OK, you'll need to use "--efi-directory" then [16:39] bekks: it switches to en_US every few seconds [16:40] basic6_, Mint has their own channels and support. This error is a perfect example why it's not supported here, mate is not even in the ubuntu repos. [16:40] yes, I was looking to using the line I on that page I linked [16:40] bekks: 13.10 is completely unusable because of it, on a variety of different machines [16:40] -I [16:40] gordonjcp: Never experience it, on various machines. [16:40] glitsj16 [16:40] bekks: oh well [16:41] saskslayer: yes? [16:41] 13.10 is a disaster [16:41] anyone can help me on dd command to repair my write protected flash drive ? :( [16:41] kb94: If it is write protected, dd will not be able to write on it. [16:41] between the keyboard bug, the corrupt fonts bug, and the various other weird issues [16:41] It is xserver-xorg-video-sis or xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-* ??? [16:41] kb94: is there a write-protect switch? [16:41] no [16:42] kb94: is it made by Sandisk? [16:42] hitsujiTMO, default ubuntu, though I played with kde and gnome-shell installs on top of it, deleted them, and then tried to change settings manually when lightdm didn't look right [16:42] kb94: possibly with a different logo [16:42] yes [16:42] kb94: throw it away [16:42] ??? [16:42] saskslayer: the new PPA offers xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-quantal and xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-raring for precise but they seem exactly the same so install either one of those [16:42] kb94: they are total shite [16:42] :( [16:42] kb94: they last a couple of dozen writes, before they fail [16:42] kb94: they're a complete waste of money [16:43] gordonjcp: SANDisk cads do work here for years - flawlessly. [16:43] bekks: cards yes, USB sticks no [16:43] gordonjcp: usb stick do work here too, flawlessly. [16:43] bekks: every single one we've had, has failed [16:43] bekks: all sooner rather than later [16:43] different sizes, different batches [16:43] gordonjcp: Not a single one we had died in years. [16:43] bekks: [16:44] i've never had a failed sandisk and i got 3 USB, 2 SD and 2 mp3 players [16:44] gordonjcp, You should know better then fud and personal opinions and partially hidden swearing here. [16:44] glitsj16 [16:44] bekks: every single one we've had [16:44] gordonjcp: flash drive contain some garbage data and a hot girl's photo whom I don't know [16:44] gordonjcp: if you don't rely on en_US layout you might try to remove that layout alltogether through the system settings > keyboard layout [16:44] Didnt get it [16:44] kb94: oh well [16:44] glitsj16: I have [16:44] Cant we use /query ? [16:44] saskslayer: yes [16:44] glitsj16: it makes no difference, it constantly switches back to en_US [16:44] bekks: in the last year I threw out 1600 faulty Sandisk USB sticks [16:45] gordonjcp: i tried the dd command, but it gives me an error : Read Only File System [16:45] gordonjcp: We didnt throw out a single one. [16:45] bekks: Sandisk took the first ten or so back and replaced them, but the replacements failed too - then they didn't want to know any more [16:45] kb94: dd on a readonly filesystem will not work. [16:45] kb94: yup, it's knackered [16:45] gordonjcp: strange indeed, i'm still on 13.04 waiting to jump to 14.04, also many issues on 13.10 [16:45] kb94: Either mount the filesysten as read write, or dont5 write onto it. [16:46] how to mount it as read/write ? [16:46] glitsj16: this is by far the most annoying one [16:46] kb94: sudo mount -o remount,rw ... [16:46] kb94: if "sudo mount -o remount,rw /path/to/disk /path/to/mountpoint" doesn't do it, nothing will [16:46] kb94: it most likely is faulty [16:47] TJ- as expected no usefull logs [16:47] are there paid programmers working on ubuntu or just pure volunteer work? how they make the money? [16:47] Andreas, wikipedia? [16:47] Andreas, Canonical has some paid staff. [16:47] TJ-, brb gonna eat for 30 mins [16:48] thanks a lot gordonjcp,bekks and others. I'll try this === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [16:50] Is there any issues doing vga monitor -> dvi adapter -> pc ? i tried it this morning and the screen went all wonky [16:51] jimi_, should it be the other way? [16:51] shouldn't* [16:51] canonical ltd soon at breaking point for profitability and money made by service provision (wiki) [16:51] Pessimist, what do you mean? [16:51] Eagleman: OK... it looks like a systemic problem [16:52] Andreas: Thats a very good issue for #ubuntu-offtopic :) [16:52] mount: cannot remount block device /dev/sdb1 read-write, is write-protected [16:52] kb94: Then replace the entire device, it is broken. [16:53] jimi_, pc is a video source, not the monitor. Also this isn't a ubuntu related issue [16:53] Pessimist, yeah, cause it works fine in windows, but only goes wonky in ubuntu [16:55] sandisk sucks === Guest83694 is now known as fego [16:56] jimi_: Pay attention to what the resolution and scan rates are in windows and what driver it's using, any other details, then work with something like xvidtune or xrandr to get the same settings in Ubuntu. === brown is now known as Guest3014 [16:57] hello. i'm trying to use my cellphone as modem, but it not work [16:58] have you tried it off and on again? [16:58] [14603.390080] cdc_acm 2-1.2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device [16:58] E: Cannot find JRE, exiting.. [16:58] can anyone help me with this?

The system continuously reports System Program Error (translated from my language to English). What can I do to have network and do an apt-get update? nmcli dev list shows only bluetooth and wlan but not eth0. [17:04] xvzf: What does "/etc/network/interfaces" contain? [17:04] TJ-, a moment === Guest13591 is now known as Freejack_ [17:07] auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback [17:08] TJ-, did you get interfaces content? [17:09] xvzf: OK, that looks fine, it isn't interfering with Network Manager [17:09] xvzf: does "ifconfig -a" list any interfaces with names starting with "eth" ? [17:10] Hi there : [17:10] TJ-, yes, eth0 is the first [17:10] Having problems with ginn. It won't find negative values for my touchscreen. [17:10] xvzf: OK ... so there is an interface... so the likely problem is that network-manager isn't configuring it [17:11] so for example only zoom in PINCH mode is working :( [17:11] xvzf: Are there any "Wired connection ..." files in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/" ? [17:12] what is the programming channel ? === ubuntu is now known as Guest78231 [17:12] what's the programming channel [17:13] TJ-, no, but now the eth cable is in this computer I use to irc. Should I try to plug it into the machine in question and see the mentioned directory? [17:14] xvzf: Are there any files in that "system-connections" directory? [17:15] Is it possible this pulseaudio error is preventin me from logging in? "Denied access to client with invalid authorization data." [17:15] xvzf: If not, you'll need to plug in the cable and that should cause a new connection to be created. If it doesn't then manually create a wired connection in NM [17:15] TJ-, there are 17 files [17:15] now try the cable [17:16] come in some minutes [17:17] good morning [17:17] for some reason, when my system boots, lightdm starts up.. then dies. [17:18] if i run service lightdm as root, it'll start up and work just fine. so i'm kinda stumped [17:18] Runkle: error in x-server config? watched logs? [17:19] doing so now [17:19] Where can I find a programming irc (c++) [17:19] the logs just have a +xx seconds, [17:19] unknown_: a c++ channel ? tried #c++ ? [17:19] nope not yet thanks anyway [17:19] hcumberdale: not an actual timestamp.. so thats weird. [17:20] Runkle: that's okay. Logs might begin with [ XX.XXX] [17:20] hcumberdale: is that tiemstamp relative to boot, or relative to last time i tried to start x? [17:20] watched /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [17:20] yeah, i'm in there now. [17:20] I'm having trouble with lightdm, too. In my lightdm log, it shows a successful login, but then X just quits and lightdm comes back up. This happens for all my wm's. [17:20] seeing any error message? [17:21] unable to register client with session manager. that resulted in a 100+ page forum thread :) [17:21] TJ-, I see no NetworkManager icon in the menu bar where it used to be, but when I try sudo NetworkManager it says that it is running already. How can I configure that? [17:21] Runkle: what caused the behaviour? update? fresh install? [17:22] ftp> send oscam.conf [17:22] local: oscam.conf remote: oscam.conf [17:22] 200 PORT command successful [17:22] 550 oscam.conf: Permission denied [17:22] why i cannot send files via ftp? [17:22] i disabled X about 6 months ago... and i forget if i used proper methods or not. so i'm here with tail between legs :) [17:22] TJ- you still here? [17:22] Runkle: question? does your user own his homedirectory? Is he able to write to $HOME ? [17:22] this server just sits in my basement running samba most of the time, so i don't pay it much attention. [17:22] yes. [17:22] hrm. lemme check Xauthority [17:23] tis gud. [17:23] sudo chown -R YOURUSERNAME:YOURUSERNAME /home/YOURUSERNAME/ << tried? [17:23] hrm. the thing is tho, lightdm shouldn't even run as my user on boot. [17:23] it should run as root. [17:23] How can I rename my nickname [17:23] ? [17:23] xvzf: It sounds as if network-manager applet is hiding or not started. In a terminal look for its process using "ps -ef | grep nm-applet". If it isn't there try starting it with "nm-applet&" [17:23] Eagleman: I am [17:23] unknown_: /nick URNAMEHERE [17:23] unknown_: google "how do i change my nickname on irc" [17:23] TJ- so what now? === unknown_ is now known as unknown101 [17:24] I am out of ideas [17:24] k good [17:24] hcumberdale: yeah, my file ownership is set fine [17:24] irssi irc btw but anyway the guy below you helped me [17:24] TJ- are there any other programs around to control an APC UPS? [17:24] TJ-, thanks, I try [17:25] Runkle: grep DENIED /var/log/syslog [17:25] initctl list |grep lightdm says stoped/waiting as soon as i boot.. but if i run service lightdm, then it starts fine. [17:25] Eagleman: As I said, I'd post to the apcupsd-users mailing list and see if anyone can suggest anything. [17:25] hcumberdale: cool [17:25] hcumberdale: cupsd is teh only thing that is deied. [17:25] man the mac users are a bunch of jerks [17:26] not very helpful [17:26] amicrawler2012: thats's irc in general :) [17:26] a lot of arrogant 13 year old nerd.s [17:26] sudo dpkg-reconfigure << tried? [17:26] Eclipse or Codeblocks for c++ [17:26] sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [17:26] hrmm hcumberdale did. [17:27] i even purged it and re-installed it. [17:27] wow,... that's wired [17:27] TJ- someone else tried that, but his post got taken over by some guys argueing about some power stuff [17:27] TJ-, it is running under lightdm user [17:27] Eagleman: Well they are the experts [17:27] oh is there any thing i can do to speed up the gui [17:27] ./wired/weird" [17:28] the internet is slow [17:28] amicrawler2012: teh gui of what? [17:28] gnome [17:28] xvzf: Really? I thought it should run as the user logged in! [17:28] hcumberdale: i'm gona remove x org and lightdm logs, reboot and see what comes up before i even try to manually start lightdm. [17:28] i run 13.10 [17:28] Do I need a website to host an irc loby? [17:28] unknown101: no [17:28] Runkle: Check the logs in "/var/log/lightdm/" ... especially the greeter logs [17:29] TJ-: will do. just rebooting it now [17:29] ~iceroot do you know any good guide on how to do this? [17:29] oh i'm runing 64bit [17:29] http://xkcd.com/963/ [17:29] unknown101: google some things. [17:29] unknown101: #freenode [17:29] Hi 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? Thanks [17:29] TJ- it will be to late before i will get a usefull solution ( if there even is any ) I am planning to bring back this UPS on tuesday so i will get my money back [17:29] !google | Runkle [17:29] TJ-, actually, I have found the one mentioned and now I see another with my user [17:29] Runkle: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [17:29] Results for | Runkle on Google: [17:29] -- [17:29] Eagleman7: OK [17:29] k let me google it .. [17:29] wow. [17:29] jirido: stop that [17:30] TJ- thanks for the help [17:30] Eagleman7: If you do get it fixed I'd love to hear how [17:30] alright... onboot no lightdm or X.org logs get created at all.... [17:31] initctl list|grep lightdm says stop/waiting [17:31] Hi, I have had some hardware trouble, my boot disk failed, I fiddled around inside the box and now it works again, but my raid array (4x1tb raid5) is apparantly degraded so my machine refuses to boot, it dropped me to a busybox shell, where I mounted my boot disk and discovered why my raid array is degraded, mdadm now detects 2 raid arrays, one which is suppost to have 4 disks but only has one, and another which is also suppost [17:31] hrm, i wonder if its enabled in upstart... [17:31] i just did a clean install of ubuntu 13.... during the installation video works great, after installing i see the ubuntu loading screen, and then sometimes it logs me in, sometimes it doesnt... when it does log me in, my screen is weird. 1/2 of it is on one side, and half is on the other, like the toolbar is in the middle of the screen, etc. [17:31] i'll be embarrassed if its not :) [17:31] Runkle: ls -la ~/.Xauthority [17:31] Runkle: I was getting at that! [17:32] Runkle: Is there an "/etc/init/lightdm.override" ? [17:32] no, just a lightdm.conf [17:32] Runkle: Can you pastebin the contents? [17:32] sure one sec. [17:33] TJ-, is it possible that the date in the menu bar hides the nm icon? I clicked on the date and now anything but the cursor is frozen, have to reboot === dv__ is now known as dv_ [17:33] http://hastebin.com/fomejahama.rb [17:34] xvzf: It sounds like something is badly wrong [17:34] Runkle: so manual start of lightdm works? [17:34] yup. perfectly. [17:34] auto-login enabled? [17:34] unsure. [17:35] when i start lightdm it coems up with a username list and a pw prompt. [17:35] Hi! Is here a NVDIA gpu users that use Ubuntu 13.10 with nvidia 331.20 drivers? Latest Ubuntu updates (after thursday) broke my Unity. [17:35] can you disable autologin-user= in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [17:35] Lihis: try reinstalling dkms package, may give clues [17:35] Runkle: Are you booting with "text" on the kernel command-line ("cat /proc/cmdline") ? [17:35] how do i boot into single user mode? [17:35] http://askubuntu.com/questions/304418/lightdm-fail-to-start-automatically-after-last-update huh, see second entry. [17:36] TJ i sure.. :) [17:36] er i sure am. [17:36] Runkle: That's why then [17:36] that expains that. [17:36] is the greeter installed? dpkg -l | grep "greeter" [17:36] Jimi_: add the boot option: text [17:36] do i just remove it in that file or do i edit grub ? [17:36] I'm having trouble logging in. In my lightdm log, it shows a successful login, but then X just quits and lightdm comes back up. This happens for all my wm's. [17:36] Runkle: Read the "/etc/init/lightdm.conf" script... "text" inhibits auto-start of lightdm === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [17:37] ActionParsnip, i think splash is off... doesnt gie me the option [17:37] TJ-, indeed, but what the heck can I do to repair it? [17:37] TJ i see. so how do i disable that text ? [17:37] xvzf: Without hands/eyes-on, its rather hard to figure out [17:37] Jimi_: you wont see it, you add it yourself [17:37] jimi_: Hit e at grub and add 'single' to the end of the line that says Linux [17:37] Runkle: You must have added that to the GRUB config; check "/etc/default/grub" and remove it, then do "sudo update-grub" [17:38] ActionParsnip, i saying, i dont have the option to do that when i boot up, it just starts loading the os [17:38] Jimi_: hold SHIFT at boot === arjun is now known as Guest70038 [17:38] howdy is this the support channel? [17:38] TJ-: thanks for your patience and time. i'm trying a reboot now. [17:38] Jimi_: then press E to (e)dit the boot [17:38] Frank_: yes [17:39] TJ-: that fixed it. thanks so much! [17:39] thanks. Im a new user. everything is working great for last two weeks but once and a while system freezes requiring hard boot [17:40] any thoughts on that? I can't find it in the user guide [17:41] yep i get that 2 as well on my laptop [17:41] a hard frezz [17:42] its a new current hardware system, 64 bit [17:42] frank is yours a desktop or a laptop [17:43] desktop [17:44] does your mouse lock up [17:44] msi motherboard, kingston solide state hdd, intel processor [17:44] yes, sometimes the mouse locks, other times it still moves but wont click anything [17:45] oh yes wireless mouse and keyboard [17:45] humm what mouse [17:45] oh well thats it [17:45] i dont use a wireless at all [17:45] just a mouse [17:45] is your batt good [17:45] so that should be the first place I test eh [17:46] works otherwise well [17:46] yep as far as i can tell [17:46] i think my issue is my radeon hd 6450 card is causing issues on boot/start of x [17:46] There is a small tab above my home folder in 12.04 LTS with the number 4 inside a bubble. I'm assuming this means I have 4 dialogue boxes or transfers running. However, when I right click and select show copy dialogue I'm unable to close out of the file transfer. When I restart it doesn't go away. [17:46] I CAN however make file transfers from and they add to the original number shown but it doesnt show their progress. [17:47] frank_: Hardware is most likely at times like that. I'd see if a wired mouse & keyboard solved it, then go through and re-seat eveything. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [17:47] ubuntu 13 ? === Guest74868 is now known as bakc [17:47] recent fresh boot of 13.10 and current upgrades [17:48] yep thats what i have as well [17:48] what do you mean by re-seat? [17:48] take out the usb and put back in [17:48] oh ok [17:48] turn off the computer 1st [17:49] frank_: Internal cards, modules, cables too. [17:49] then give it a try [17:49] yes. works great otherwise for long periods [17:49] then plug it all back in [17:49] yes [17:49] i think it is still the wireless system [17:49] frank_: Also might want to install lm_sensors and monitor temperatures. [17:50] do you have a wired mouse and key borad to test [17:50] multitouch gestures @ ubuntu are not working well :( [17:50] so this kind of problem wouldn't be tracked by logging? [17:50] *with touchscreen [17:50] hello all sorry for my english. I have little problem on my ubuntu. I want to use for skype my webcam build-in microphone. But my buddy tell me if i am hear like Smurf. Is there somebody who know where can be problem? [17:50] exit [17:50] you can check var log [17:50] no I'll have to pick one up. Used to have a macbook pro until it died [17:50] frank_: When a system just locks-up it usually can't log anything since the logger process gets no CPU time. === lihis__ is now known as Lihis [17:51] yep thats what i thought. i remember having this problem years ago and figured it was the BM [17:51] MB [17:51] TJ- i might aswell use one of my own work arounds, seting up a raspberry pi with apcupsd, let it shutdown my esxi machine, when power comes back pc's need to manualy start up by pressing the button, Then i need a script on my router which will run after 2-5 min uptime, that will wake up ( WoL ) my PC's attached to the UPS. I think it could work [17:52] frank_: For reseating, if you're not familiar with it, check this: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/reseat-excards.htm [17:52] ActionParsnip: Reinstall of dkms didn't help. If I try to start Unity from terminal it gives couple errors, eg "compiz (unityshell) - Error: GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object not supported" [17:52] thanks TJ [17:53] Eagleman7: If it is new I'd also pester APC support on the 'phone [17:53] TJ- i did that haha [17:53] Eagleman7: since it occurs even without drivers being installed ... really? what was their response? [17:54] TJ- it took her 5 minutes to enter my postbox address in the PC [17:54] Eagleman7: *rolls eyes* [17:55] TJ- i think there support thing is outsourced to India, with people trying to speak dutch and not understanding you. [17:55] So calling them isnt helping much [17:55] Eagleman7: One thing I forgot to ask you... when you said there is no problem when using Windows, were you using the Windows version of apcupsd or the APC powerwave drivers? [17:55] TJ- i was using the powerchute software [17:56] 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 set [17:56] Eagleman7: which would be well worth reporting to the apcupsd developers since it sounds like the protocol might have changed [17:57] TJ- i dont really want to test it now since it will take like half an hour to setup everything up and going back to windows [17:58] xdcc send #9 [17:58] Eagleman7: OK, well, those are obvious things to try anyhow [17:58] Lihis: try reinstalling the package, watch for errors etc. Check you have the header files for your kernel. [17:58] Can someone tell me a) where I should put my x-chat folder and b) how to view directories such as / or /var in the file viewer? I can only view documents, music, etc. and it's rather frusturating [17:58] * mariacarmela slaps mariacarmela around a bit with a large trout [17:59] TYDIRocks: if you go up a folder you can view any folder in the filesystem [18:00] ActionParsnip: Where is that action though? I only see the back and forwrd buttons [18:00] TYDIRocks: its not obvious but you can view more than your hone folder. You can even run: nautilus / ,and it will open the file browser at the root of the file system. [18:01] TYDIRocks: or click in the address bar and youbcan type the location you want [18:01] ActionParsnip: Is there a way to get to that just through the gui though? I don't really want to have to terminal every time I want to go to the root folder [18:02] ActionParsnip: My address bar doesn't seem to be editable...is that not enabled by default in 13.10? [18:02] TYDIRocks: ctrl+L [18:03] trism: Ah there we go, thank you! I probably should have figured that the computer would be the root folder. No idea why I didn't think of that [18:03] TYDIRocks: or the icon on the left of the address blobs. Or press ALT+F2 [18:03] anyone know what permission is -r--r----- in numbers? [18:03] VlanX: 440 [18:03] ActionParsnip: My other question though. When I download packages and extract them, what is the best place to put those files? [18:04] VlanX: 4 is read, 2 is write, execute is 1 [18:04] TYDIRocks: anywhere, except /proc and /dev [18:04] TYDIRocks: these is no best place [18:04] ActionParsnip: perfect, thanks [18:04] Guys whats the key combination to switch between screens ? [18:04] TYDIRocks: people often use /opt [18:05] TYDIRocks: what are you installing? [18:05] ActionParsnip: X-chat and Bitcoin [18:05] TYDIRocks: xchat is in the repos [18:05] ActionParsnip: Oh I was not aware, cool thanks [18:05] Anyone here with screen knowledge [18:06] I need to know the keystroke to switch between screens [18:06] TYDIRocks: didnt think to search software centre first....? [18:06] saskslayer: switch windows in screen? ctrl+a n, ctrl+a p [18:06] saskslayer: CTRL+ALT+Left and righ cursor, maybe [18:06] Ok thanks === lihis__ is now known as Lihis [18:07] ActionParsnip: Eh I was kind of in a rush to download a client and didn't think of that. Trying to figure out why bitcoin isn't being found even though I added the repo [18:07] doesnt work both [18:07] No other window [18:07] whats codename of 12.04? [18:07] Wait lemme detach [18:07] the bottom right hand of my screen says "unsupported hardware" in green letters... is that ubuntu? or something else causing that [18:07] TYDIRocks: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [18:08] saskslayer: ctrl+a c should create a new window with a command prompt [18:08] donvito precise pangolin [18:08] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l [18:08] jimi_: that's your graphics driver [18:08] Oh [18:08] thanks [18:08] Lemme close this screens O.o [18:09] daftykins, ah, how do you get rid of it [18:10] jimi_: google that message, i'm sure there's some kind of file tweak/edit you can do - although there may well be a good reason it's showing up :D [18:11] Ubuntu 13.04 had a Nvidia graphics card and installed an AMD graphics card. How can I fix this so it will boot into desktop properly? If I hit ESC I see choices. I am thinking I need to boot verbose to see messages. I forgot the sequence hit ESC then choose kernel and edit somehow so it boots verbose? === saskslayer is now known as _Mysekf [18:11] androidfr33k: can you just swap back and remove the driver? or did the nvidia die? [18:12] I can swap it I suppose no other way? [18:12] ActionParsnip: Oh, and unity_support_test -p gives error that failed to load driver "swrast", everything else have yes except "GL vertex buffer object" and "Unity 3D supported". [18:13] Is Ubunto 100% posix or if I move the drive to another PC will it boot as long as its the same graphics card or is there the ramdisk thing? [18:14] !find bitcoin | TYDIRocks [18:14] TYDIRocks: Found: bitcoin-qt, bitcoind [18:14] TYDIRocks: tried those? [18:14] androidfr33k: well you should still get a shell when you boot, assuming it's X failing? in which case you might want to run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old" and reboot [18:14] ActionParsnip: Ah I guess I have to add the qt, thanks. I though about that but every other tutorial said only "bitcoin" [18:14] I can try that to thanks [18:15] why i got nautilius error and my pid cccam crashes on ubuntu? [18:15] TYDIRocks: again, search software centre [18:15] I never get a shell so maybe its more than that I need to see the messages in a console boot. [18:15] ActionParsnip: Well the software center doesn't have the most updated version [18:15] it may be the ramdisk issue [18:16] ActionParsnip: Anyways, thanks for all the help. [18:16] androidfr33k: you've configured a RAM disk? 0o [18:17] I think I am not using the right term. the init ram something created with the kernel etc [18:18] Its usually configured for the specific hardware and may cause a problem with you move the drive to another PC with a different motherboard etc [18:18] androidfr33k: so rather than change graphics card you actually changed PC? :) [18:19] yes [18:19] that had a AMD card rather than nvidia [18:19] thats why I asked if Ubuntu was 100% posix [18:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6740041/ <- That's my network configuration, but for whatever reason, when I do ifup tap it doesn't configure the IP addresses on tap. What am I doing wrong? [18:20] androidfr33k: maybe give the 'nomodeset' kernel parameter a try too [18:20] I just set up myself as admin with password, with several accounts for testing. I copied a bunch of files into music folder in a client account, and I want to have access to them in my admin account. yes? [18:20] ok will try that [18:21] 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 else [18:21] ad it at the boot prompt [18:22] i had to copy that message. thx === GZA-ZNC is now known as GZA-Genius [18:23] Ah ok thanks TJ- and daftykins [18:23] Frank_: thats fine, make the file owner as the account you copied it to then assing the group owner to give the access you want, you can even make a new group to give access as you desire [18:24] Freewheelin_Franklin_Adios_98 [18:24] Is there a way to edit my login screen in Ubuntu 12.04 with different skins? [18:24] I want to set up wi-fi on my Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. Can someone please help? === frank_ is now known as Freewheelin_Fran [18:25] just use Xconsole? Why no GUI interface? [18:25] how do you modify the path variable in ubuntu 13.10 at the /etc/ld.so.conf [18:26] \home\\settings\variables\path [18:27] my file currently has include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf and I was told to add /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib to the file [18:27] I tried just adding those lines at the bottom of the file one after another [18:27] but it didn't seem to work [18:28] how to increase font size in xterm? [18:28] Hi guys! Im just wondering wtf is up with mailservers? ive tried to install postfix/sendmail like 4 times and bricked my installation [18:28] Jinxed-: Generally there's no good reason to be messing with that. What are you trying to do? [18:29] Arent there an easy point and click mail server? using a VPS === _Wheelman_ is now known as Wheelman [18:29] WebJonas: No, mailservers are not point-and-click things (except for Microsoft). [18:29] androidfr33k, why would it have to be 100% POSIX? [18:29] WebJonas: You have to actually study the documentation and understand how they work. [18:29] i could also use like gmail if i can send mail from my domain? arent there an easy way? :D [18:30] jhutchins: install vimp [18:30] WebJonas: Often a registrar will offer domain mail services, and yes gmail will do that for a fee. [18:30] on second look with a ldconfig -v it shows my paths were added correctly [18:30] which prob means that ffmpeg and my transcoding tools didn't install correctly [18:31] ActionParsnip: Problem solved, reinstalled the nvidia driver. [18:31] Ahh sure then ill make an image of this installation working flawlessly with node and nginx and try one more time carefull readup on the docs [18:31] I always thought one of the attributes being 100% posix is the ability to move the OS from one similar piece of hardware to another [18:32] Isn't that the idea behind a live linux distro? [18:33] Jinxed-: http://www.vimp.com/en/web/faq-installation.html [18:33] jhutchins: yeah, I have been working off that [18:33] for a week now [18:33] lots of errors [18:35] i seem to recall that ubuntu there used to be an 'alternative' installation image that included raid and LVM support etc [18:35] is that still the case, or does the standard server image contain all of that stuff? [18:40] strixUK: That's all pretty mainstream these days. [18:40] jhutchins: thanks [18:40] strixUK: Installing to software raid is still a bit adventurous. [18:41] i'm pretty comfortable with the mdadm and the lvm tools (have used it lots in lab environments); only question is which install image has all the guff needed [18:42] i'll also be installing xen on this box, which i have never touched before. that (for me) will be the adventurous bit ;) [18:42] wireless not connecting on Dell Vostro 1500 [18:43] cheryl_c, Can you run in the terminal lspci and identify the wifi hardware to the channel. [18:46] So guys one more question. Dovecot, courier or cyrus? [18:46] As the easiest and would only be used by like max 10 people on a small dev box === KindOne| is now known as KindOne [18:47] Beldar: Is there a specific set of commands that I should use alongside lspci? [18:47] \join #hackerrank [18:47] cheryl_c, depends on the hardware lspci should show all in general, you can copy and paste that to a pastebin and post the url. [18:48] WebJonas: Dovecot [18:49] to install xorg i only need to run "sudo apt-get install xorg xserver-xorg" right ? [18:49] Beldar: dont know how to use pastebin but found out that it is a Broadcom BCM4311 802.11a/b/g/ [18:49] !broadcom [18:49] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [18:50] \join #hackerrank [18:50] Karty, /join [18:50] Karty /join #ubuntu-ops [18:53] dasdasdasdsadasdas [18:54] dfs [D~ [18:54] yo === santosh is now known as Guest15188 [18:55] Hello, running Xubuntu 13.10 64-bit.

[19:25] smrtz|nix, You can reset it from a boot of the install, what is the chroot for here? [19:26] Beldar: Thanks for the responce. I thought the only way to do it was boot up a live cd, and chroot in, then use the passwd commmand. What would you do? [19:26] smrtz|nix: Yes. You don't need to chroot. 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. (Assumes you mount the other rootfs to "/target/") [19:27] hello [19:27] smrtz|nix, here is a method. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [19:27] can I install 14.04 LTS and smoothly move to official in april?

[19:28] Thank you TJ- [19:28] Guest18813: I don't know if updating the BIOS will help. I guess the problem is that the usb has not enough power. Does the usb hub have an extra power supply?

[20:10] let put it this way : when i install the recommended Nvidia driver by Ububtu the system dont load [20:10] my concern was with the "safe" part of the question more than the mechanics of setting up sshd === zz_dino82 is now known as dino82 [20:11] comprehension, yes, ubottu gave you the client instructions, or do you want the ssh service running on your desktop so you can login from an other place? [20:11] comprehension, safe, i think it can be safe, i would not use the regular port 22, [20:12] so should i leave the default Nvidia driver than install the recommended by ubuntu ? [20:12] xinit says unable to connect to X server [20:12] no such fle or directory [20:12] but i have xorg core and the drivers installed [20:12] common, etc [20:12] easyeasy: Isn't lightdm/X already running?

[20:19] easyeasy: "dpkg-query -l xserver-xorg" [20:20] He said that canonical spy on us [20:20] those aren't all actually required [20:20] so i guess the question then is, what is the minimum for ubuntu without the massive package === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [20:21] easyeasy: does dpkg-query report xserver-xorg is installed ("ii") ? [20:21] it spams a bunch of packages [20:22] 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. [20:23] I installed xserver-xorg-video-radeon , the common package, the core package, the mouse and keyboard packages [20:23] is the default ftp linux/unix program recommended/good? [20:24] am i missing anything required? [20:24] Left_Turn: For what? [20:24] i want to connect to an ftp server to download and upload files jhutchins [20:24] what nvidia driver should i use with Ubuntu ? [20:25] Left_Turn: The cli client is the basic implementation of ftp, it works. Pretty much the same as any ftp client, same code. [20:25] minus the video driver, what are the minimum Xorg packages required for a desktop? [20:25] can anyone answer this queston? [20:25] ah ok great. ill give it a try... thanks jhutchins [20:26] Left_Turn: Most web and file browsers will do ftp as well. [20:26] oh i see [20:26] hmm let me try that 1st:) [20:27] easyeasy: What is it you're actually trying to do? Why not just a normal desktop install? [20:27] bloated [20:27] No help today... [20:27] SSD [20:27] What are the minimum packages to satisfy xinit and lightdm, because the depends are obviously wrong [20:28] easyeasy: I've asked you twice now for the result of a command that will assist, but you've not shown me it [20:28] I already showed output [20:28] Should i use Nvidia driver fro nvidia site or use default what Ubuntu use ? [20:28] demon^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] it spams every package [20:28] i'm not retyping [20:28] 100 packages [20:28] easyeasy: Can you pastebin it? [20:28] uh [20:28] no [20:28] i'm in CLI [20:29] easyeasy: I don't see it. That wasn't a result of the command I gave; there'd only be at most one package listed [20:29] demon^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] !pastebinit|easyeasy [20:29] easyeasy: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [20:29] Hii can someone tell me some android app to remotely control my ubuntu....

[20:29] Not really [20:29] easyeasy, besides your HD5xxx do you have a 2nd GPU ? ATI hybrid? [20:29] it pulls in recommends from new packages [20:29] jhutchins, : my concern it uses ubuntu default which doesnt reco them... [20:29] the default updater also pulls in the sdks [20:30] easyeasy: 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] Why can't you answer a very normal question about requirements of the display server for your distro? [20:30] easyeasy: "apt-get --no-install-recommends ..." [20:30] The depends aren't depends [20:30] wacom tablets are not required [20:30] demon^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] Sis graphics and trident are not required [20:31] so if you please, what is the minimum X packages to run lightdm [20:31] graphically [20:31] easyeasy: 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] sure they have, they're called debian users [20:31] easyeasy: GIVE UP ON LIGHTDM!!! [20:31] jhutchins, : when i use what recommended by Ubuntu it stuck and doesnt load , and cant even go to fallback driver [20:32] demon^eye: Ah, there we go, actual problem. [20:32] i did jhut, other than the deps are listed incorrectly [20:32] easyeasy: You don't know enough to say that. [20:32] what are the minimum packages required for X not including the display driver [20:32] I do, coming from Gentoo and Arch where this madness does not exist [20:32] jhutchins, : yes , so i use version 309 not 319 since it stuck at boot... why is that ? its marked "recommended" ? [20:33] i haven't read all the defaults for each package which is why i'm asking [20:33] Can you answer or no [20:33] Do you know the default X packages for ubuntu to display without using metapackages [20:33] yes or no [20:33] easyeasy: 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] No, no you can't [20:33] because the metapackages require the BS [20:33] easyeasy: I think perhaps ubuntu is not the distro for you. [20:34] for example, the DRM mesa packages i have to live with [20:34] easyeasy: Sounds like Ubuntu is the wrong distro for you... I'd recommend you try DSL [20:34] but the others not so much [20:34] jhutchins, : *304 instead 319... [20:34] why? it doesn't require the metas === b is now known as Guest16678 [20:34] There is nothing I will use that rdepends on xorg meta [20:34] not one [20:35] demon^eye: Are you trying to use 13.03 or 13.10? [20:37] jhutchins, : no , 12.04 [20:37] Hrm. Should work with the default. [20:37] What's the chipset from lspci? [20:37] its 304 .... but recommended is 319... [20:38] demon^eye: demon^eye Just the numbers don't mean anything to me. [20:38] and when set to 319 , bybye system need to reinstall [20:38] demon^eye: nonsense, you can fix it from the CLI. [20:38] demon^eye: Cna you figure out what's wrong from /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [20:38] jhutchins, : i am nit linux expert , i am just a newbie trying to fir in :) [20:39] demon^eye: Right, so this is the part where you learn to fix things from the CLI. [20:39] jhutchins, : i am now on 12.04 after install it from the start... [20:39] what CLI stand for ? [20:39] Command Line Interface. [20:39] haa [20:39] terminal?

[20:54] Ben____: Some Wifi devices require additional drivers that can't be distributed as part of the open-source operating system. So we need to know which precise device the system has. If you're on Windows you can start Device Manager, find the device, call up its Properties dialog, choose the "Details" tab and look for its ID string which will be of the form "VEN_?????&DEV?????&..." if you can show us that, we can decipher which device it is and what you're likely to [20:54] need [20:55] where can I find the code for unity-panel-service?

I have been going at it for the last 12 hours [21:41] but couldn't find any solutions online [21:41] basically I have a laptop that just won't play nicely with grub2 [21:42] if I turn the computer without the install usb in it won't boot [21:43] Waly007, So it shows grub and n=boots with usb plugged in? [21:43] boots* [21:43] Waly007: is this some uefi setup? [21:43] no [21:43] it doesn't show grub [21:43] my bios doesn't have any options for uefi [21:43] but i do know that windows was in uefi mode [21:43] Waly007, But boots to ubuntu with usb plugged in? [21:43] k1l_: 13.04.. [21:43] it boots to the live cd as I get the install disc with usb plugged in [21:44] Hi. I use ubuntu 12.04 and in "aptitude" instead of lines i see "lqqqqqqqqqqqqk" and other symbols. I can't google solution. What correct query for google for that problem? [21:44] I have tried to do almost everything with boot repair [21:44] Waly007, Grub is only an issue on installs, not a live boot.

[21:46] I am currently in elementary os luna on live cd I can get the boot repair summary if you want [21:46] Waly007, Honestly your description is highly confusing, I cannot even tell if you have an install, or not. [21:47] I installed it [21:47] but it won't boot [21:47] so I have to use live usb to try and troubleshoot it [21:47] Waly007, That bootinfo summary is very important to save for any present state your in.

Some of the servers in question are: apache2, mysql, postgresql, and possibly others ( whatever is included in those two bitnami installations needs to start when I fire up the laptop ).

I have chosen to instlall them in /opt/packages/ [22:50] alguien conoce algun programa para ubuntu para crear livecd [22:50] ClientAlive: then they will not contain an init script as they are self contained [22:50] I will browse those dirs to see if there is the script then. thx [22:50] ClientAlive: contact the installer owner and ask them to make the correct init scripts available [22:50] ClientAlive: there will not be init scripts in those directories [22:51] ikonia: Seems rather daunting to me to make contact with them ( but I could be wrong ). [22:51] ClientAlive: I don't see why it is danuting to email the provider of a software package and ask for scripts that should be provided [22:52] If I can't find it now I will resort to that. Is there any teltale signs ( a certain naming conventioon ) to identify the init script? Is it like a make file where it will almost always be named "make" or "Make" ?

Can you help me install them manually by giving me the shortcuts to copy and paste in the terminal [22:53] ClientAlive: there will not be an init script there [22:53] cheryl_c, I have never had to install broadcom so the best I can do is the link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [22:53] ikonia: Isn't there a process for adding things to init via the command line ( such as there is with arch )?

My system starts to boot but I get a back screen no desktop [23:08] yes the system sees the device fine just as it did before i installed windows [23:08] an OS would not change the hardware, but might have updated something - perhaps a firmware update via windows was applied? [23:08] androidfr33k ok - that's more like it [23:08] !volume === andyfied is now known as andyfied|afk [23:08] I can boot in if I modify the kernel line to nomodeset [23:08] !sound | jaysee [23:08] jaysee: 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. [23:08] try these? [23:09] Hi has anyone got any advice on how to duel boot mavericks and ubuntu on an macbook pro? [23:09] ok lets look @ alsamixer [23:09] were those all the channels detected by alsamixer in your thread? [23:09] if a firmware update is applied when the windows driver is installed it must be unapplied when the driver is uninstalled, as sound works no problem after that [23:09] or recovery choosing failsafe graphics mode [23:10] jaysee, that's why i said firmware rather than driver. [23:10] it could have updated your bios version if you ok'd it somewhere [23:10] there are a lot of tools that do this sort of thing from inside windows [23:10] androidfr33k: I suggest trying to build a summary question: eg: I'm using ubuntu 13.10 64 bit with an nvidia 123 graphics card, I'm using the propitary nvidia module and after enabling it, it only boots to a black screen. Any advice ? [23:10] that would leave a change even across reboots, neh? [23:10] id didn't udate the bios (uefi) version. I make sure to manually keep tabs on that [23:11] hm [23:11] hey folks, my googlefu is weak for this one, it may be too new of a model to have many results.

Note that external hard drives are not well supported by apple's firmware for legacy OS booting [23:14] Can anyone help me out?

I'm trying everything I can find online, but I'm not getting any kind of sound whatsoever. [23:44] Shamrock13, have you tried going to the website for the manufacturer of the audio card in your system to look for a Linux driver? [23:45] Honestly, I haven't just because I assumed Dell wouldn't make an audio driver for it. [23:45] I'll check now. [23:45] What type of Dell system do you have? I can look up the audio card type and help you find a linux driver [23:46] 17r Special Edition [23:46] The system tag is 8HRRCT1 [23:46] k I'll let you know if I can find anything [23:46] Thank you so much [23:46] is there any way i can get a Virtual box to reconize a usb hdd [23:47] mrpizzaface, In the prefernces [23:48] cock [23:48] ops | waltercool_ [23:48] Beldar: it says i need the expansion pack and i have it installed but it wont let me enable usb2.0 support [23:48] waltercool_ soory [23:48] Can anyone running 12.10 either confirm or deny that "cabal install entropy" fails? You need "apt-get install cabal-install ghc" [23:49] Beldar: Why? :S [23:49] mrpizzaface, usb 2 support, does this computer have usb 2? [23:49] quidnunc: what don't you just tell us your problem, rather than other peoples [23:49] waltercool_, I did a ops call and accidentally used your nick [23:50] Shamrock13, 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 works [23:50] I wish you the best of luck [23:50] Beldar: USB2 and USB3 support i have it plugged into usb 2.0 at the moment [23:51] Beldar: Hahahha relax, shit happens [23:51] anyone 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] mrpizzaface, Not sure, I have never had to enable usb support. [23:51] beldar ill try :P === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [23:52] well i can boot the iso :) [23:52] nPegler, 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] I cannot get it back either. Ugh. [23:52] that's really odd :-S [23:53] hi all === i3luefire__ is now known as i3luefire [23:54] I have absolutely no idea what to do.

[23:54] I like the look of it and am actually trying to get it loaded onto my touch-screen tablet pc [23:55] That would be pretty awesome. [23:55] I love the look of Ubuntu [23:55] I'll be right back. Have to restart and see if I got it fixed or not. [23:55] Used Windows all my life, and made a New Years resolution to try Ubuntu in 2014..So here I am :) [23:55] windows is better [23:55] I feel like somewhat of an idiot [23:55] Welcome to the linux world :-) [23:56] but ubuntu is the best linux, and sometimes u need linux [23:56] I'm really bummed to find out I apparently can't play League of Legends anymore. [23:56] I've used Fedora for a while, but it won't work on my tablet... [23:56] Also, download speed 1/2 of what I was getting on Windows with torrents :/ [23:57] the exact same torrents? [23:57] yeap [23:57] same ports? [23:57] torrents with tons of fast seeds only hitting 500mb/s download speeds [23:57] I'm back, and there was absolutely no luck. [23:57] doubt the same ports, I went from Utorrent to Transmission [23:57] only 500MB/sec? awww [23:58] that could be the issue Steakumz [23:58] some torrent software works better than others [23:58] I mean 500kb/s sorry [23:58] Well, 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. [23:59] Just 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] grats [23:59] awesome that you figured it out :-)
