| OnkelTem1 | Hi all | 00:05 |
| OnkelTem1 | I have problem with GRUB. After installing Ubuntu 12.04 I can't boot: I get into grub rescue> and see the message: error: file `/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. | 00:06 |
| OnkelTem1 | I spent hour trying to update and reinstall grub, rechecked everything, I'm out of ideas | 00:07 |
| OnkelTem1 | I boot from LiveCD, mount new system's partitions, chroot there, update-grub (OK), grub-install /dev/sda (OK!) --recheck (OK!) | 00:08 |
| OnkelTem1 | but the boot fails | 00:08 |
| Beldar | OnkelTem1, Dualboot, and if so with what exactly? | 00:21 |

| Wassname | Thank you. I was trying to figure out how to implement without commands. Via menu. | 00:40 |
| Wassname | Still can't figure it out. | 00:41 |

| hitsujiTMO | basichash: or use a tiling window manager like dwm | 00:43 |

| Temper | if i want to mount an encrypted filesystem on top of an uncrypted drive, what directories should i do? | 00:51 |
| PatrickDickey | Schrodinger`Cat: I think you can use something like unity --restart (try unity --help first to find out). | 00:51 |
| Schrodinger`Cat | PatrickDickey, it will work on an other tty than these is unresponsive ? | 00:52 |
| PatrickDickey | Yes. You might want to google it first though. I know there's a command that restarts unity, but I'm not exactly sure if it's unity or ubuntu-desktop. | 00:53 |
| * PatrickDickey and I'm on lubuntu, so I don't *have* unity | 00:54 | |
| PatrickDickey | Schrodinger`Cat: It looks like all you have to type is unity, and it will restart. | 00:55 |
| Schrodinger`Cat | "DISPLAY=:0 unity --replace" work fine on a tty :) | 00:55 |

| Romolos | Anyone available to help with a botched driver installation for AMD GPU's in Ubuntu 12.04.3LTS? | 01:57 |
| === kevin is now known as The-Mitten | ||
| daftykins | Romolos: can you describe the situation to the channel in more detail? | 02:02 |
| AmitDeshwra | So, I'm having a problem with a dual video card, dual monitor problem. I'm running ubuntu 13.10 and currently have a 4k monitor attached to the intel integrated graphics card (i7-4770) and a 2560x1600 monitor attached to an nvidia gerforce 210. I just plugged everything in and seemed to work okay, however whenever I try to rotate the 2560 monitor to portrait mode, lightdm crashes. Any thoughts on how to fix this? | 02:04 |
| Romolos | Yes, thanks. I have AMD 290x GPU's and went through the steps of installing catalyst drivers, following a recommended online tutorial. However, my system doesn't seem to be recognizing the GPU's properly if at all | 02:05 |
| b0x | im trying cairo-dock atm.. seems ok however the workspace switcher shows 12 workspaces, when i only have 4 | 02:06 |
| Romolos | for example, if I enter fglrxinfo in terminal the response is Error:unable to open display (null) | 02:06 |
| daftykins | Romolos: my first thought is that perhaps the installation didn't go through, did you use a most recent beta? i don't know if you need to get the very latest given such new card(s) | 02:09 |
| banks | I need help upgrading to 13.10, i need to know how to partition the drives | 02:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | AmitDeshwra: can you pastebin the logs? | 02:10 |
| daftykins | Romolos: /var/log/Xorg.0.log may provide a clue as to what driver got used (or attempted to be used) | 02:10 |
| Romolos | Yes, I used the most recent beta. | 02:11 |
| Romolos | I'll try that command. Thanks daftykins. | 02:11 |
| AmitDeshwra | hitsujiTMO: What logs are you looking for? | 02:11 |
| banks | can anyone help me with editing my partitions? | 02:11 |
| Ben64 | banks: you should explain in much more detail what the issue is and what you want to do | 02:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | AmitDeshwra: well if its lightdm thats crashing then the lightdm logs would be best :) /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log you need sudo to access them | 02:12 |
| banks | Ben64, I want to upgrade from 12.04 to 13.10, but the installer is telling me i need to make a partition for efi boot and it has to be 35mb, i do not know how to do that and im scared to touch it | 02:12 |
| banks | Ben64, might you be able to help me with this? | 02:14 |
| AmitDeshwra | hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6753884/ | 02:15 |
| Ben64 | banks: check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 02:16 |
| Romolos | daftykins: when I entered that I got "Error: permission denied" | 02:17 |

| AmitDeshwra | hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6753891/ | 02:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | AmitDeshwra: does lightdm reload when it crashes or does it stop dead btw? | 02:18 |
| AmitDeshwra | hitsujiTMO: It sends me back to the login screen | 02:18 |

| AmitDeshwra | hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6753901/ | 02:24 |
| banks | hitsujiTMO, im upgrading via live usb, and im upgrading because i foudn out that ubuntu 13.10 has the solution to my internet problem i have been having for months, were the wifi keeps disconnecting frequentley | 02:24 |
| === Guest83916 is now known as purpledrank | ||
| Romolos | daftykins: would it be reasonable to just back track and try to redo the installations? Is there a way do that? Also, I just installed synaptic package mgr, in hope that it may be a useful tool for diagnosing the situation and possibly repairing it. But I have no experience working with it. Might it help? | 02:27 |
| Ben64 | banks: you may just want to wait on that upgrade. 14.04 is coming out soon and you can upgrade directly to it | 02:27 |
| banks | Ben64, when the upgrade comes out ill update again, all i need to know is jsut how to create a 35mb partition | 02:28 |
| Ben64 | banks: i don't see why you'd need one if you don't have one already and your ubuntu is booting | 02:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | AmitDeshwra: looks like the xserver itself is segfaulting. not much can be done about that afaik. Report a bug on xserver-xorg and attach the log file. I'd also recommend testing the live distro of 14.04 to see if its also happening there. Only thing you could try on this is to see if the same behaviour occurs with the proprietary nvidia driver. | 02:29 |
| tmus | My Lenovo N5321 gw (Ericsson) USB Mobile Broadband modem does not seem to work with Ubuntu... When it's almost connected, it appears to reset... Any ideas? | 02:30 |
| banks | Ben64, its my internet problem that i keep having, its not happening on any of my windows machine, only on this one, that is the only reason why i want to upgrade, because if that was working fine then i would have no problem waiting | 02:30 |
| Ben64 | banks: ok? i don't see how that relates to a 35MB partition you supposedly need | 02:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Banks the 3.11 kernel is now available in 12.04 repo. maybe try upgrading to this first | 02:31 |
| Ben64 | thats a good idea hitsujiTMO | 02:32 |
| banks | Ben64, it doesnt relate to it, at all actually, but 35mb is going to get 13.10 running and that will fix my internet | 02:33 |
| banks | hitsujiTMO, i tried just about everything, includign updating my drivers | 02:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | banks: the kernel in 13.10 is 3.11 ... this is now in the 12.04 repo. Most likely the fix is in this kernel | 02:34 |
| banks | hitsujiTMO, actually youre right | 02:36 |
| banks | hitsujiTMO, ill be back | 02:36 |
| AmitDeshwra | hitsujiTMO, thanks for your help. I've already tried using the nvidia drivers but they don't play nicely with the intel drivers | 02:45 |

| Lucan | Hi everyone | 03:07 |
| Lucan | I have some concerns for obtaining the particular drivers for Edubuntu. | 03:07 |
| Lucan | I assumes it is same as Ubuntu. | 03:08 |
| Lucan | Does anyone had experiences with ATI HD4670 AGP ? | 03:08 |
| === Sleepnbum is now known as Guest9716 | ||
| Mandalord | s | 03:11 |
| Mandalord | @Lucan what's the problem? | 03:18 |
| Lucan | hello Mandalord | 03:19 |
| Lucan | Firstly | 03:19 |
| Lucan | I booted the ISO i made for Edubuntu 12.04.2 | 03:19 |
| Lucan | i plugged my 16 gb usb | 03:20 |
| Lucan | I opened the disk management when I was in live mode of edubuntu | 03:20 |
| Mandalord | ok | 03:20 |
| Lucan | I wiped and zeroed the usb stick | 03:21 |
| Lucan | then i used the start up disk creator | 03:21 |
| Lucan | Made it bootable from cd itself, 2gb persistence data. | 03:21 |
| Lucan | it seem good so far. | 03:22 |
| Lucan | so i shut down after all of this work... unplug the usb and plug it in different computer, which i did meant to boot the edubuntu off usb... cd wont read. | 03:22 |
| Lucan | it booted all way to the white screen of loading. | 03:22 |
| Lucan | and then a long blank screen | 03:23 |
| Lucan | that's one whole scenario I need to solve. | 03:23 |
| Lucan | the other one is to collect the necessary drivers | 03:23 |
| Lucan | So far I got idea that to use X driver for HD4670. | 03:23 |
| Lucan | Do you have any experiences on ati drivers for edubuntu, or similar debian? | 03:24 |
| Mandalord | have you try boot the usb on the same machine you made it bootable? | 03:26 |
| Viking667 | 'llo all. I'm trying to get Skype to talk to pulseaudio, but it doesn't want to. What do I need to do? As far as I know, pulseaudio works here, devices show up in pavucontrol, and "pulseaudio --check" returns 0. | 03:26 |
| Lucan | I could try, but if it fails how can I check for MD5? | 03:27 |
| nevyn | Viking667: what version of skype do you have? | 03:27 |
| Lucan | Does this makes any difference to the solution to boot edubuntu on usb... if this was made from x64 CPU? | 03:28 |
| Viking667 | the latest from skype.com for 12.04, I think. | 03:28 |
| Viking667 | It happily talks to alsa but as soon as anything else uses the pulseaudio device, it locks up. | 03:28 |
| Mandalord | well i dont think you need to check md5. just make sure the usb stick not broken | 03:28 |
| Lucan | USB is working nicely | 03:30 |
| Viking667 | I've also got the relevant 32-bit sound libs installed that Skype wants... (and yes, it's a 64-bit saucy system) | 03:30 |
| Mandalord | if the usb is fine, then you should try nomodeset when boot in the new machine | 03:30 |
| Lucan | I am just not sure why it get interrupted with a blank screen after the loading screen. | 03:30 |
| Lucan | explain the step on that, please | 03:30 |
| Mandalord | @Lucan: there are some frequent situations, most of them relate to graphic driver | 03:31 |
| Lucan | Then, with this usb. | 03:32 |
| Lucan | or if using the other methods. | 03:32 |
| Lucan | how can I load the driver so I can be able to boot it | 03:32 |
| Lucan | is there such use of generic driver? | 03:32 |
| nevyn | Viking667: do you have libpulse's 32bit variant | 03:32 |
| Mandalord | it has a real nice guide with images here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132, lets have a look and try it | 03:33 |
| Lucan | looking | 03:33 |
| Mandalord | after booting, you can install driver when running edubuntu | 03:34 |
| Viking667 | nevyn: I'll check. I think I do. | 03:34 |
| Lucan | Oh other options | 03:34 |
| Lucan | okay ill give this a shot | 03:34 |
| Lucan | in a second... moving the irc to the phone so i can try it :) | 03:34 |

| stevenburnley | hello? | 03:50 |
| grahamsavage | how can i get the names of the video outputs? | 03:51 |
| grahamsavage | i.e. screens? | 03:51 |
| maxxsire | On my main account I find that after a being logged on to the internet for about half an hour my computer becomes real sluggish (scrolling takes forever, interacting with pages, pages take forever to load, etc.) then after about 10 minutes or so the whole browser closes down. In Firefox, Chrome, and Knoqueror all the same. I do realize for some reason that my guest account only has 42 processes going and my main account has 192 proc | 03:51 |
| grahamsavage | maxxsire: does everything run well after you switch off your internet? | 03:51 |
| grahamsavage | i have the exact same issue, windows become sluggish stuff doesn't render | 03:52 |
| system3rror | int main () { printf("Hello stevenburnley\n"); return 0} | 03:52 |
| maxxsire | Another wierd thing is that both are running at about the same percentage of CPU and RAM | 03:52 |
| grahamsavage | yes! same issue | 03:52 |
| grahamsavage | i think ubuntu has some really big problems when it comes to coping with packet loss and dodgy network connections | 03:52 |
| grahamsavage | that affects the entire operating system.. i've noticed the second i disable the network interface | 03:53 |
| grahamsavage | everything starts working again | 03:53 |
| maxxsire | I've used Ubuntu for over a year and a half with no problems up until a month ago | 03:54 |
| maxxsire | I've went to other networks and the same thing happens | 03:54 |
| Mandalord | @maxxsire: does it happen with other accounts? | 03:55 |
| system3rror | grahamsavage I find most issues are from the ipv6 protocol. | 03:55 |
| grahamsavage | syst3mw0rm: I have ipv6 disabled on two machines | 03:55 |
| system3rror | sed '/::/s/^/#/' /etc/hosts >/etc/dipv6-tmp;cp -a /etc/hosts /etc/hosts-backup && mv /etc/dipv6-tmp /etc/hosts | 03:55 |
| Viking667 | grahamsavage: to "see" what screens Ubuntu thinks you see, use xrandr from a command prompt, or use the Displays applet in Settings. | 03:55 |
| system3rror | that is the way I get rid of them on Debian.. also echo net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf | 03:56 |
| Viking667 | I'll come back later. | 03:56 |
| grahamsavage | they are both experiencing the same issue.. i do get about 9 - 16% packet loss continously | 03:56 |
| grahamsavage | but there's obviously some probelm somewhere in the ubuntu ecosystem that can't cope with this and makes the entire display lockup | 03:56 |
| system3rror | Are you sure you really disabled ipv6? | 03:56 |
| grahamsavage | syst3mw0rm: how can i check? | 03:57 |
| system3rror | grahamsavage netstat -tunlp |grep p6 |wc -l | 03:57 |
| system3rror | If the result is anything other than 0, then one or more IPv6-aware processes is running | 03:57 |
| grahamsavage | a single 5 came up | 03:57 |
| grahamsavage | how do you completly disable ipv6 then? | 03:58 |
| maxxsire | Why would there be 150 more processes going on my main account compared to my guest account when I have the same applications going and tabs open. Do I have malware up the butt or what? | 03:58 |
| Jordan_U | grahamsavage: It sounds to me like your network interface may be DMAing into memory that it shouldn't be. | 03:58 |
| grahamsavage | Viking667: oh thanks :D | 03:58 |
| grahamsavage | DMAing? | 03:59 |
| Jordan_U | grahamsavage: Writing directly into RAM, bypassing the CPU. | 03:59 |

| Jordan_U | grahamsavage: Packet loss should not cause instability of non-network related things so my guess is that one is not causing the other but rather they both have a common cause. The card writing to and reading from memory that the OS is using for other things could cause both problems. | 04:02 |

| Toggi3 | wtf.. | 04:05 |
| maxxsire | Why would this have occurred about a month ago? Should I get a maleware program? What would cause this across browers? | 04:06 |

| liteIRC | Turns out I am booting 13.10.... Just finished USB check disc | 04:07 |
| Jordan_U | Toggi3: My guess is that services not started by upstart can't properly be stopped by upstart. | 04:07 |
| liteIRC | All good so I am gonna try to boot it with same options. | 04:07 |
| Toggi3 | deconfiguting network interfaces: OK; then I sudo service networking start as your suggestion | 04:07 |
| Toggi3 | and I get "networking stop/waiting" | 04:08 |
| Toggi3 | ... this is a fresh netinstall.. | 04:08 |
| maxxsire | Why would there be 150 more processes going on my main account compared to my guest account when I have the same applications going and tabs open. Do I have malware up the butt or what? | 04:09 |
| josePHPagoda | max, depends on what those processes are | 04:09 |

| grahamsavage | yeah there is | 06:08 |
| nevyn | Jeffry: that seems nosensical | 06:08 |
| grahamsavage | LeAgente: it says method: ignore | 06:08 |
| grahamsavage | but i don't know if that means it's still enabled at a network level | 06:09 |
| grahamsavage | when i look at ss -lpn6 i still get two records appearing | 06:09 |

| nevyn | what's the problem? | 06:10 |
| Gallomimia | can anyone suggest to me some reading prior to attempting to install ubuntu on a pair of SSD's in raid0 ? | 06:10 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: do you have any spinning rust in the system? | 06:11 |
| Gallomimia | yep lots | 06:11 |
| Gallomimia | it's currently running on a single 500g | 06:11 |
| Gallomimia | so i'll obviously need to configure it to mount various parts of the system, such as /home from platters | 06:12 |
| nevyn | so don't do that. | 06:12 |
| nevyn | use dmcache | 06:12 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: so if you have enough spinning rust to make a raid1 or raid5 | 06:14 |
| nevyn | do that. | 06:14 |
| nevyn | then add the ssd's as accelerators using dmcache. | 06:14 |
| Gallomimia | what's a dmcache? | 06:14 |
| LeAgente | what if he wants to boot from SSDs? | 06:14 |
| nevyn | why? | 06:14 |
| Gallomimia | i was going to boot from ssd's but | 06:15 |
| nevyn | mmm. | 06:15 |
| Gallomimia | if there's something called dmcache that i can read about | 06:15 |
| nevyn | 02:00 <@CRCinAU> looking at my online power usage | 06:16 |
| nevyn | 02:00 <@CRCinAU> "Your consumption so far this week is 3.6 times that of last week" | 06:16 |
| phiscribe | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-cache | 06:16 |
| nevyn | oops. | 06:16 |
| LeAgente | oh, maybe you're on to something, nevyn | 06:16 |
| gusg | I did "apt-cache --recurse depends mypackage" and I'm wondering what something like "libqtcore4 \n \t Breaks: libqt4-core" means. What does "break" mean? | 06:16 |
| LeAgente | would using dm-cache speed up boot significantly? | 06:16 |
| nevyn | depends. | 06:17 |
| LeAgente | that's the whole point in getting SSDs, right? | 06:17 |
| LeAgente | to speed up your system | 06:17 |
| nevyn | possibly less than putting /boot on ssd. but. it'll give a greater performance improvement to ALL io bound tasks | 06:17 |
| nevyn | LeAgente: how often do you boot the system | 06:18 |
| LeAgente | depends on what you're doing | 06:18 |
| nevyn | right. | 06:18 |
| LeAgente | but yeah, not often. good point | 06:18 |
| Gallomimia | boot is pretty durn fast already | 06:18 |
| Gallomimia | most of the delay comes from the mobo not finding the disks before the OS starts looking for them. or something | 06:19 |
| nevyn | right. | 06:19 |
| Gallomimia | a problem i've decided not to suss out till i get the new SSD's involved | 06:19 |
| nevyn | and you only use things like the initrd file during boot. | 06:19 |
| nevyn | never when you're running | 06:19 |
| LeAgente | can you configure dm-cache at install? | 06:19 |
| nevyn | don't think so. | 06:20 |
| nevyn | but I'd probably do configure raid during install.. | 06:20 |
| nevyn | and lvm | 06:20 |
| nevyn | then put dm-cache in. | 06:20 |
| LeAgente | yeah, there's support for raid and lvm | 06:20 |
| nevyn | and possibly multipath because you can never have enough dm ;) | 06:20 |
| LeAgente | is it an addon to raid / lvm? | 06:21 |
| nevyn | no. | 06:21 |
| nevyn | it's a dm plugin | 06:21 |
| Gallomimia | well here's the story. i have 3 identical 500gb drives, a pair of 2gig drives, another 2gig drive that's dissimilar, and the 2 ssd's. the motherboard has 6 sata ports | 06:21 |
| nevyn | like raid/lvm but different | 06:21 |
| nevyn | 2gig? | 06:21 |
| nevyn | or 2tb? | 06:21 |
| Gallomimia | and i want it to load games faster >< | 06:21 |
| LeAgente | or 2TB? | 06:21 |
| Gallomimia | ah yeah | 06:21 |
| Gallomimia | :D | 06:21 |
| Gallomimia | funny | 06:22 |
| Gallomimia | back when 1gb was big.... 33mhz was fast | 06:22 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: use dm-cache. | 06:22 |
| nevyn | how disimilar is the third 2tb drive? | 06:22 |
| Gallomimia | uh... same rpm, different brand | 06:22 |
| nevyn | that's ok. | 06:23 |
| nevyn | how much of this has data on it? | 06:23 |
| Gallomimia | all of it :P | 06:23 |
| nevyn | that can't be replaced/re-installed easily? | 06:23 |
| Gallomimia | not so much that i can't copy it around | 06:23 |
| nevyn | hrm. | 06:23 |
| nevyn | can you free 2 of the 2tb drives? | 06:23 |
| Gallomimia | i think the other 2tb is completely empty actually | 06:24 |
| nevyn | so there's currently no raid in this config at all? | 06:24 |
| LeAgente | could he set up lvm and add the other drives later? | 06:24 |
| Gallomimia | no raid at all | 06:24 |
| Gallomimia | i dabbled with raiding a pair of 500's but never did get around to it | 06:25 |
| Gallomimia | then i used one of those to backup an older disk | 06:25 |
| nevyn | how much data do you have? | 06:25 |
| Gallomimia | i'd ballpark it at around 3-4 TB | 06:25 |
| nevyn | df -h and add up the numbers.. | 06:25 |
| Gallomimia | they're not all spinning | 06:25 |
| Gallomimia | or linux formated :( used to be a mac head | 06:25 |
| nevyn | so can you get 2 blank 2tb drives? | 06:26 |
| Gallomimia | i also have a rather free 3TB usb | 06:26 |
| Gallomimia | i think so | 06:26 |
| nevyn | ok. | 06:26 |
| nevyn | step one. | 06:26 |
| nevyn | get as many as possible. large drives empty. | 06:26 |
| Gallomimia | i'm not sure i need that big a drive honestly.. i'd prefer to use the three 500's | 06:26 |
| nevyn | why? | 06:27 |
| Gallomimia | i'll consider tho. you're suggesting a raid 1? | 06:27 |
| nevyn | no. | 06:27 |
| nevyn | raid5 | 06:27 |
| Gallomimia | with 2? | 06:27 |
| nevyn | I'll get to the third. | 06:27 |
| nevyn | and then you'll have 3x2tb giving you 4tb with raid protection | 06:27 |
| gusg | I saw an episode | 06:27 |
| nevyn | mmm... | 06:27 |
| LeAgente | doesn't raid5 need 3 disks? | 06:28 |
| === root is now known as Guest22155 | ||
| * Gallomimia peeks inside the case at the one that is spinning | 06:28 | |
| gusg | I did "apt-cache --recurse depends mypackage" and I'm wondering what something like "libqtcore4 \n \t Breaks: libqt4-core" means. What does "break" mean? | 06:28 |
| nevyn | you can create a degraded raid5 with 2 disks in linux. | 06:28 |
| Gallomimia | how is it "degraded" | 06:28 |
| nevyn | then add a 3rd to it | 06:28 |
| LeAgente | but then no parity, right? | 06:28 |
| LeAgente | oh | 06:29 |
| Gallomimia | sounds like raid3 to me | 06:29 |
| === Guest22155 is now known as c0d3Bits | ||
| LeAgente | oh, raid5 is a distributed parity | 06:30 |
| Gallomimia | right. striped like the data | 06:30 |
| LeAgente | why not just use the three disks from the beginning? | 06:30 |
| Gallomimia | if i'm going to involve 3 disks, i'll free them all | 06:30 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: if you've got capacity somewhere to do that then sure do that. | 06:31 |
| Gallomimia | pretty sure one is empty. one is 1/4 full of backups from my mac, and the third is nearly full of data | 06:31 |
| nevyn | I tend not to have capacity floating around for such things. | 06:31 |
| Gallomimia | i'd like to have that going on :) | 06:31 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: check all the drives with smartctl before you start. | 06:31 |
| Gallomimia | i'm trying to avoid having so many drives in a raid. i have an open 2bay NAS to set up and a USB3 drive dock | 06:31 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: why? | 06:32 |
| Gallomimia | meh. i'll buy some more | 06:32 |
| Gallomimia | i'm a data whore. i like having files | 06:32 |
| nevyn | buy more. | 06:32 |
| LeAgente | you can reduce your time machine backup size by deleting old backups | 06:32 |
| Gallomimia | yep. soon tho | 06:32 |
| nevyn | so imho 500gig drives arn't worth having online | 06:32 |
| Gallomimia | you know what else reduces a time machine backup size? erasing it, deleting your macosx partition and running ubuntu on the laptop instead :P | 06:33 |
| LeAgente | if you're ok with deleting your backups, that's fine | 06:33 |
| nevyn | ok. so you have a new shiny 4tb raid. | 06:33 |
| nevyn | you then setup LVM on that. | 06:33 |
| LeAgente | wat | 06:33 |
| Gallomimia | i'll grab the pertinent files out of that | 06:34 |
| nevyn | and carve out LV's for /home / /gamedata whatever... | 06:34 |
| Gallomimia | i have to read more on my motherboard. it has some onboard RAID controller........ | 06:34 |
| nevyn | !fakeraid | 06:34 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 06:34 |
| Gallomimia | and i think it has 2 sata ports on the northbridge while 4 are on the southbridge | 06:34 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: the sorts of raid that ship on motherboards are usually WORSE than linux software raid | 06:35 |
| nevyn | like a lot worse. | 06:35 |
| === c0d3Bits is now known as c0d3Bit | ||
| Gallomimia | software raid runs on the cpu right/ | 06:35 |
| nevyn | yes. | 06:35 |
| nevyn | cpu's are REALLY fast. | 06:35 |
| nevyn | like REALLY REALLY REALLY fast | 06:35 |
| Gallomimia | cpu power is bleeding out my anus. it's ram bandwidth that i'm short on | 06:35 |
| nevyn | ram bandwith or io bandwidth? | 06:36 |
| nevyn | if you don't have enough ram bandwidht buy faster ram | 06:36 |
| nevyn | but an SSD won't fix it. | 06:36 |
| LeAgente | but his motherboard my limit the clock | 06:36 |
| Gallomimia | it doesn't go much faster. i'm considering overclocking it | 06:36 |
| LeAgente | yeah! | 06:37 |
| LeAgente | but be careful | 06:37 |
| Gallomimia | no shit sherlock | 06:37 |
| nevyn | how have you determined that's the choke point | 06:37 |
| nevyn | ? | 06:37 |
| Gallomimia | simple math | 06:37 |
| nevyn | and ram to what? | 06:37 |
| IdleOne | Gallomimia: please keep the language clean | 06:37 |
| nevyn | ram to vidcard for textures? | 06:37 |
| nevyn | ram to cpu? | 06:37 |
| Gallomimia | cpu | 06:37 |
| Gallomimia | the cpu is 4GHz octcore, and the ram is 1600MHz | 06:38 |
| nevyn | so buy a cpu with more cache? | 06:38 |
| nevyn | oh. | 06:38 |
| Gallomimia | it's not a far stretch to imagine how badly the bottleneck must be | 06:38 |
| nevyn | oh. | 06:38 |
| Gallomimia | i've benchmarked zero things on this system | 06:38 |
| nevyn | so. life's more complicated than that. | 06:39 |
| Gallomimia | sure is | 06:39 |
| nevyn | the 4Ghz (wow where did you get a 4Gig cpu? | 06:39 |
| JazzBot | hey, so I got a pretty nice intel i7 with the whole HD 4000 dealio. However on my second monitor their is massive screen tearing and I noticed it switches to 30hz | 06:39 |
| Gallomimia | the internet. | 06:39 |
| Gallomimia | it's an amd fx8350 | 06:39 |
| JazzBot | any ideas? | 06:39 |
| Gallomimia | 4ghz clock from the factory. i'm sure it'll oc to 4.5 or 5 | 06:39 |
| Gallomimia | but... seriously. why bother when i've never gotten it past 50% util | 06:40 |
| nevyn | I'd doubt it. things get seriously wacky at those speeds. | 06:40 |
| JazzBot | i trying to render a 1920 by 1080p res with 16:9 | 06:40 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: so using the cpu is easy. just do things that don't need much data.. and are very parallel | 06:40 |
| Gallomimia | JazzBot: integrated graphics :( bad | 06:40 |
| nevyn | JazzBot: don't listen to him. | 06:41 |
| JazzBot | oh I also have a nvidia card :p | 06:41 |
| nevyn | JazzBot: is this a laptop? | 06:41 |
| JazzBot | yes | 06:41 |
| Gallomimia | i'd like to try bitcoin mining on the cpu, just to see how many hashes it can do | 06:41 |
| nevyn | JazzBot: is it optimus style stuff? | 06:41 |
| JazzBot | got the whole bumblebee setup and all, I prefer to run the monitors from my cpu | 06:41 |
| JazzBot | yep | 06:42 |
| Gallomimia | which gpu's drive the monitors? which one is tearing? | 06:42 |
| nevyn | how is the second monitor connected? | 06:42 |
| JazzBot | hdmi | 06:42 |
| nevyn | yeah. | 06:42 |
| JazzBot | and not using my gpu for monitors | 06:42 |
| nevyn | it's not uncommon for hdmi to be wired to the nvidia | 06:42 |
| nevyn | and the lvds to be wired to the intel | 06:43 |
| nevyn | this is crazy but it's not uncommon | 06:43 |
| JazzBot | seems like it :p | 06:43 |
| nevyn | arlied talked about this mess at last years LCA he might have done an update at this years.. | 06:43 |
| Gallomimia | what have i read about mixed gpu's not playing nice together... with the intel integrated | 06:44 |
| Yadda | Hey, I'm trying to use an Ubuntu LiveCD to install Grub as a workaround for an issue I'm having with Ye Olde SteamOSe, and I'm running into a...small problem. Whenever I boot Ubuntu under UEFI, it immediately drops to a Grub prompt. | 06:44 |
| Yadda | from the liveCD, I mean | 06:44 |
| JazzBot | yeah its kind of a disaster, I hate it but its what I got and have to deal with :p | 06:44 |
| JazzBot | ive spent 9 hours today messing around with it | 06:45 |
| JazzBot | gr | 06:45 |
| Gallomimia | JazzBot: look on the bright side. at least it's not an oc'd mickeymouse'd ati card with crap for linux drivers? | 06:45 |
| JazzBot | hahaha yep, and I went through that disaster on my last computer xD | 06:46 |
| Gallomimia | i'm talking to you with such a computer | 06:46 |
| JazzBot | ah | 06:46 |
| JazzBot | i feel your pain bro | 06:46 |
| Gallomimia | thanks :/ i feel the pain of your second monitor problem | 06:47 |
| Gallomimia | that reminds me. i best go buy a DVI cable for this rig, and see how that runs. then maybe i can hook up a spare monitor with vga | 06:47 |
| JazzBot | yea | 06:47 |
| Gallomimia | nevyn i was wrong. the 3x 2tb drives are all baracuda's | 06:48 |
| Yadda | erm... hello? | 06:48 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: so raid then dmcache then lvm then filesystems | 06:48 |
| Gallomimia | install is last? | 06:48 |
| nevyn | !steamos | 06:49 |
| nevyn | well. | 06:49 |
| Gallomimia | interesting | 06:49 |
| Gallomimia | let me write some of this down | 06:49 |
| nevyn | Gallomimia: I'd do the install and do the raid and lvm then go back and add dmcache by hand after the system' | 06:49 |
| nevyn | s running | 06:49 |
| nevyn | lvm will let you do this happily | 06:49 |
| Yadda | just... try to boot into Ubuntu liveCD... Bam, Grub terminal unless I boot in legacy. | 06:50 |
| Gallomimia | keep in mind, this is the machine i'm sitting on now. it's running off one of the single 500's | 06:50 |
| nevyn | is it running on lvm? or just on raw partitions? | 06:50 |
| Gallomimia | it's on whatever ubuntu installer gave me by default | 06:51 |
| nevyn | if it's on lvm it's reasonably straightforward to migrate it online. | 06:51 |
| Gallomimia | i don't even want to migrate it :/ | 06:51 |
| Gallomimia | i'll copy my basic files and maybe my steam library | 06:52 |
| Gallomimia | better to go with a clean install n'est-ce pas? | 06:52 |
| Gallomimia | !kernel | 06:53 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 06:53 |
| nevyn | if your install is 64bit then I'd migrate it. | 06:53 |
| Gallomimia | uhhhhh | 06:53 |
| Gallomimia | is it? | 06:53 |
| sshinobi | greets. wondering if anyone can tell me how to pipe internet over a cat5 cable from a netbook to a desktop. | 06:53 |
| Gallomimia | netbook is running what? | 06:53 |
| sshinobi | ubuntu | 06:53 |
| Gallomimia | connection sharing built into ubuntu? | 06:54 |
| Ben64 | sshinobi: uh, get a router? | 06:54 |
| zain_ | Hey, is there anyone know how to enable the Chinese input method on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit? | 06:54 |
| Gallomimia | great idea ben64 :) send him the money | 06:54 |
| nevyn | I think network manager can even do it. | 06:54 |
| JazzBot | im wondering if compiz can fix my issue | 06:54 |
| JazzBot | gross | 06:54 |
| thoonai | hey, my ACL inst working :/ I set a user for rwx, but I can't access the shared folder throug this user | 06:54 |
| nevyn | JazzBot: the problem is that there's no way to co-ordinate the intel writing the framebuffer and the nvidia reading it. | 06:55 |
| sshinobi | I've got 3 wrt54gs, but I'm doing it hardline. | 06:55 |
| sshinobi | so connection sharing in network prefs? | 06:55 |
| nevyn | yeah. | 06:55 |
| Yadda | So nobody has any suggestions on why booting the Ubuntu liveCD in UEFI causes it to bomb? | 06:55 |
| JazzBot | heh....... | 06:55 |
| nevyn | which version of the CD? | 06:55 |
| Yadda | tried both 13.04 and 13.10, both 64-bit | 06:55 |
| Gallomimia | i'm not finding that sshinobi but maybe a search of the ubuntu site will give it up | 06:55 |
| JazzBot | however, im just running my cpu, nothing is running in my gpu right now, and my hdmi port is wired directly into my cpu | 06:56 |
| Gallomimia | in short, you need natd to run, and a firewall rule to redirect traffic to it. | 06:56 |
| Ben64 | sshinobi: if you have 3 routers, why not use one? | 06:56 |
| Yadda | I turned off fast boot, turned off secure boot, never had SRT set up to begin with, and I think hibernate is disabled because the fast startup option isn't even there to turn off. | 06:56 |
| Yadda | still chokes. | 06:57 |
| sshinobi | they all have open wrt on them for meshnet purposes, and are in my car. | 06:57 |
| sshinobi | outside. | 06:57 |
| Gallomimia | sshinobi: http://askubuntu.com/questions/248896/how-to-set-up-internet-connection-sharing this is what turns up with google. let me view those options | 06:57 |
| KI7MT | Yadda, while unfortunate, this issue is not unique to Ubuntu. Best I can suggest is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 06:58 |
| thoonai | hey, my ACL inst working :/ I set a user for rwx, but I can't access the shared folder throug this user | 06:59 |
| Gallomimia | sshinobi: i believe you configure the wired port like it shows in the picture, shared to other computers | 06:59 |
| sshinobi | alright | 06:59 |
| thoonai | sorry for posting the same ;) | 06:59 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: the user needs X permissions on all directories before the dir in question | 07:00 |

| === cheez0r is now known as Guest27218 | ||
| Gallomimia | thoonai: watcha figure out so far? | 07:03 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: it should workin the /home directories of the users, which are mounted via nfs | 07:03 |
| maxxsire | I've used ubuntu with no problems for over a year and a half on my computer but now when I open any browser after about 20 minutes I can barely do anything within the browser and within a few minutes of that the browser crashes. I can even open just five tabs and it will be running fine then let my computer set there the 20 minutes and it will start acting up. I used to be able to run 40+ tabs for days on my computer with no problem | 07:03 |
| Gallomimia | assuming the perms on /home itself are right | 07:03 |
| mimic` | /buffer move 14 | 07:03 |
| mimic` | uh | 07:03 |
| mimic` | nvm | 07:03 |
| maxxsire | having the difficulty for about a month now and it's getting worse all the time. | 07:03 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: I set the /home directories to 700 each user | 07:04 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: probably thats a problem | 07:04 |
| Gallomimia | mimic`: good thing you weren't authing to nickserv :) | 07:04 |

| Lihis | I'm pretty confused about graphics card drives and I'm using Ubuntu 13.10. If I install nvidia drives (331.20) from their website then do I need the xorg-video-* packages? | 07:06 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: they were generated by adduser | 07:07 |
| JazzBot | sorry never mind about my last question | 07:07 |
| uncola | typical open source arrogance! no wonder linux failed and linus pauling didn't win that nobel prize | 07:07 |

| Gallomimia | Lihis: i've been told installing graphics drivers from the website is wrong. at least it was for amd drivers. get the drivers from the repo using software center or apt-get | 07:07 |
| maxxsire | ?msg Blendar the browser, any of them, is the problem' | 07:08 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: double check to see what the owner is on each dir. ls -ld again | 07:08 |
| somsip | maxxsire: what are the differing process between the two users? Use paste.ubuntu.com | 07:08 |
| Lihis | Gallomimia: So I should uninstall driver and install it from xorg-edgers repo? | 07:08 |
| Beldar | !tab | maxxsire | 07:09 |

| maxxsire | thanks good to know | 07:10 |
| Gallomimia | maxxsire sounds like you have something mean involved in your browsers. or the software to render websites? i think somsip has an idea for looking for the nasty things | 07:10 |
| Lihis | Ben64: Okay. Thanks for the help. This is second time when I get updates to xorg-video-* packages and that breaks my Unity. | 07:11 |
| Gallomimia | lihis i uninstalled my driver, but i did not get it from xorg-edgers | 07:11 |
| Beldar | maxxsire, If it is just the browser try making a new profile, you do not identify the actual browser, details are the key here. | 07:11 |
| Gallomimia | uh... or did i? | 07:11 |
| maxxsire | What's pastebin? I use Firefox, Chrome, Konqueror | 07:13 |
| Lihis | Gallomimia: I check is 331 driver avaible from official repos | 07:13 |
| Gallomimia | crud. i can't remember how i added anything. i think it was from a ppa tho. i also had to install an advanced kernel | 07:13 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: I'm testing it on my ext4 fs on a virtual machine running ubuntu 13.10 | 07:13 |
| thoonai | maxxsire: paste.ubuntu.com | 07:13 |
| Gallomimia | oh. i bet there's a mismatch in uid's between the two systems | 07:13 |
| Ben64 | Lihis: 319 appears to be the latest in the official repos | 07:14 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: which two systems? | 07:15 |
| Gallomimia | the base system and the vm? | 07:15 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: I'm just on the test system | 07:15 |
| Gallomimia | hm. | 07:15 |
| Lihis | Ben64: Thanks. | 07:16 |
| Gallomimia | well i propose you test the various systems with the perms at 777 770 and 700 | 07:16 |
| Gallomimia | users i mean | 07:16 |
| Gallomimia | obv you don't want to leave it on 777. maybe just 775 | 07:17 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: this is the next step | 07:17 |
| Gallomimia | something seems messed up | 07:17 |
| Gallomimia | and i'm leaning on the uid's | 07:17 |
| Gallomimia | you can read the uid of the owner with stat | 07:17 |
| maxxsire | What do you want me to put into paste.ubuntu.com | 07:17 |
| Gallomimia | and you can find the uid of the user1 with........ something | 07:17 |
| Gallomimia | i usually just cat /etc/passwd | 07:18 |
| Gallomimia | but there's a userinfo command or some such thing | 07:18 |
| somsip | maxxsire: do 'ps aux > processes.txt' as the main user and the guest user. Edit both files. Look for differences. Summarise them. Post that summary to paste.ubuntu.com | 07:18 |
| maxxsire | Thanks will do | 07:19 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: it works with 777 | 07:19 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: but thats quite awkward ... | 07:19 |
| Gallomimia | what about 770? | 07:20 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: doesnt work | 07:20 |
| Gallomimia | uid mismatch | 07:20 |
| Gallomimia | it SAYS it's user1 the owner, but it isn't, somehow | 07:20 |
| Gallomimia | probably the best thing to do is change your nfs mount options. this is not something i know about | 07:21 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: to be honest I'm just on my ext4 mounted from the virtual hard drive | 07:21 |
| thoonai | ... | 07:21 |
| maxxsire | Do I put 'ps aux > processes.txt' in terminal? | 07:22 |
| Gallomimia | yessir | 07:22 |
| Gallomimia | this is going to make a list of programs running and put it in a text file called processes.txt | 07:22 |
| Gallomimia | then go to the other account, and do the same. read the files and see what's different | 07:22 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: I'm not allowed to play with universitys nfs-server | 07:23 |
| Gallomimia | something in your main account is acting stupid, and we wanna know what. | 07:23 |
| maxxsire | nothing comes up is the file in a special folder | 07:23 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: oh that's funny :) but yeah, it should only be in your client-options that you change things | 07:23 |
| Trion | Hello people. How can I use a flash drive in OS in VirtualBox? There are invisible. | 07:23 |

| Gallomimia | maxxsire: remember when you log out of guest it deletes all files >< | 07:25 |
| starn | can anyone here help me with setting up a network bridge? i'm using linux mint 15. yes i know it's not officially supported but i am hoping it's enough like ubuntu someone can help. for i've been dealing with linux mint help and they're mostly rude so far. | 07:25 |
| somsip | starn: without wanting to be equally rude, it is a #mint issue. We can't help here | 07:25 |
| thoonai | Trion: before you can use the usb-devices as itself you must get the addition pack from the virtualbox-hp | 07:25 |
| Gallomimia | starn we just had a question like that. but for ubuntu. it's under the network manager | 07:26 |
| Gallomimia | i doubt it's as easy. cause ubuntu is like that. | 07:26 |
| starn | basically i need my guest machine to use a local static ip and the host machine can do what ever. i've droped down the menu in network manager and told it to share but it doesn't work | 07:26 |
| thoonai | starn: no clue atm, but look for bridge-utils. they may help you | 07:26 |
| starn | somsip: all they would do is send me same info in the ubuntu documentations | 07:26 |
| somsip | starn: you may get someone who wil help you by PM, but it isn't something that should be done in-channel | 07:26 |
| starn | what about ##networking? | 07:27 |
| thoonai | Trion: or you set up a 'shared folder' | 07:27 |
| Gallomimia | probably | 07:27 |
| maxxsire | Will save file in a permanent directory then | 07:27 |
| Gallomimia | the short of it is, you need the main connection to be shared to clients on the secondary connection | 07:27 |
| starn | thoonai: i'm just trying to share my hosts machine wifi over ethernet. | 07:27 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: I'm still confused | 07:27 |
| starn | i know when ubuntu comes out with mate i'm switching back to ubuntu | 07:28 |
| Trion | <thoonai>: Thanks. Now I know that I need additional pack as virtualbox-hp. Is it free? | 07:28 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: try this: stat -c %u /home/user1 | 07:28 |
| thoonai | starn: networkmanager has an option called 'shared to other computers' | 07:28 |
| starn | yeah i tried that method it didn't seem to work | 07:28 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: 1001 | 07:28 |
| Gallomimia | now find out what the uid of user1 is | 07:29 |
| aeon-ltd | starn: don't get your hopes up for mate to be in stock ubuntu | 07:29 |
| thoonai | starn: where does it fails? | 07:29 |
| somsip | aeon-ltd: just been announced that it is | 07:29 |
| starn | i'm going to try ##networking .. anyways any idea when mate will come to ubuntu?? and it doesn't need to be stock. so long as it's got mate. | 07:29 |
| aeon-ltd | wut? | 07:29 |
| somsip | aeon-ltd: http://is.gd/rzaU47 | 07:29 |

| starn | unity is to new and fancy for this machine. need older interface. | 07:30 |
| thoonai | unity is insane | 07:30 |
| aeon-ltd | ah ok, available officially, but doesn't replace unity as stock | 07:30 |
| Trion | thoonai: No. I just want to copy couple files from Ubuntu OS to other OS in VirtualBox | 07:30 |
| somsip | aeon-ltd: yeah, just FYI... | 07:30 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: yep. i'm confused too | 07:31 |
| Gallomimia | it *should* work | 07:31 |
| JazzBot | Gallomimia: I fixed the res and refresh rate on my monitors. now I face screen tear still :( any suggestions ? | 07:31 |
| Gallomimia | JazzBot: hammer :/ | 07:31 |
| finnigan | how do i used play on linux to install diablo ii lod with the new no cd installer? | 07:31 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: xctly thats why I'm sitting here and thinking, that I'm stupif | 07:31 |
| Gallomimia | !warez finnigan | 07:32 |
| finnigan | !warez | 07:32 |
| ubottu | piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 07:32 |
| Gallomimia | thanks. | 07:32 |
| finnigan | !warez | 07:32 |
| finnigan | who is talking about piracy? | 07:32 |
| Gallomimia | no cd == piracy | 07:32 |
| finnigan | i bought the game | 07:33 |
| Trion | finnigan: We cannot help people who plays with devel ) | 07:33 |
| finnigan | no they have a no cd installer now | 07:33 |
| finnigan | you can play the game via a download from battle.net | 07:33 |
| thoonai | Trion: try the shared folder-option, else download the extension-pack for usb | 07:33 |
| finnigan | trion what is devel? | 07:33 |
| Gallomimia | interesting. does it run on linux natively? | 07:33 |
| Gallomimia | or do you have to run it under wine? | 07:33 |
| finnigan | wine and it comes up fine but says i dont have the game installed | 07:34 |
| KI7MT | Is there a Ubuntu support question in all this? | 07:34 |
| starn | i think he's talking about blizzards official patch to run the game without the cd.. not without the cd key.. | 07:34 |
| Gallomimia | sounds legit, i guess | 07:34 |
| finnigan | i used play on linux to install diablo ii and it worked fine | 07:34 |
| Trion | I mean a devil. I try to joke about Diablo games ) | 07:34 |
| Gallomimia | is there a channel for wine gaming? | 07:34 |
| finnigan | i dont know | 07:34 |
| hipitihop | hi glitsj16, seems as no movement on my headset issue. I guess it is low priority as it seems to be fine in a clean build (based on live cd 12.04 and/or 13.10) so there are bigger fish to fry. You mentioned you might have an idea though | 07:35 |
| somsip | Gallomimia: #wine-hq from memory | 07:35 |
| somsip | !wine | 07:35 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 07:35 |
| Gallomimia | cause i think that'd be more pertinent than here. most people here want help with their filesystem, broken OS installs, or browsers | 07:35 |
| starn | finnigan: you could possible register your CD key with blizzard's battle.net and download their installer and try running it on play on linux or even wine. | 07:35 |
| Gallomimia | getting steam apps to run under wine is on my todo list for sure | 07:35 |
| finnigan | #wine-hq is not a channel | 07:35 |
| KI7MT | He prob wants #winehq .. but #wine better that ubuntu ..lol | 07:35 |
| KI7MT | *than | 07:36 |
| starn | finnigan: i've registered all my games with blizzards official site so i could just download an installer and it'll download all the files needed to run the game with out a physical cd. | 07:36 |
| somsip | finnigan: #winehq like the bot and KI7MT have said | 07:36 |
| starn | Gallomimia: i've managed to get some steam games to work under wine :) | 07:36 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| thoonai | Gallomimia: there is this: every parent folder has to be accessible thing | 07:36 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: may this break it? | 07:36 |
| Gallomimia | such as? i want bioware games to run | 07:36 |
| finnigan | starn ive registered and downloaded and its an installer | 07:36 |
| finnigan | it still needs to install | 07:37 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: that's what we checked first right? | 07:37 |
| Gallomimia | and it works when you chomd /home/user1 to 777 | 07:37 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: /home is root:root ... | 07:37 |
| starn | finnigan: did the installer not work?? i personally use wine.. which i think play on linux is based on wine or is wine? which would mean you need to go to the winehq support channel | 07:37 |
| Gallomimia | therefore user1 already has permissions to get to their home dir. just not their actual home dir | 07:37 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: yes but it's 775 | 07:37 |
| thoonai | drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jan 15 07:25 . | 07:37 |
| Gallomimia | ah, 755 whatever | 07:37 |
| mobi323 | Hello All. | 07:37 |
| Gallomimia | root:root is what /home should be | 07:38 |
| thoonai | I'am confused | 07:38 |
| finnigan | starn the installer for diablo ii worked but the installer of diablo ii lod acts as if i dont have diablo ii installed | 07:38 |
| Gallomimia | it's a shared dir for all users. what other user should own /home? | 07:38 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: there can only be one ... root for sure | 07:39 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: the permissions you're interested in for /home are the last 3. which are r-x and that's good. this makes it so no one can delete someone else's home dir, but everyone can read the listing of /home and everyone can work in /home | 07:39 |
| starn | finnigan: that sounds like a regedit issue.. i'd defiently go to where ever these lovely people said the winehq channel is and ask for help there. | 07:39 |
| Gallomimia | world writable /home dir :) brutal | 07:40 |
| finnigan | i did and the channel seems a little dead right now | 07:40 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: it would be super destructive ... | 07:40 |
| Gallomimia | probably they're all busy playing games on wine | 07:40 |
| finnigan | lol | 07:40 |
| Gallomimia | oh. no it wouldn't cause you can't delete non-empty dirs | 07:40 |
| starn | finnigan: haha Gallomimia is probably right XD or maybe they're playing on native steam client now. | 07:41 |
| Trion | Why do you use Linux for gaming? | 07:41 |
| Gallomimia | so you'd need permissions to delete all the folders and files inside it first | 07:41 |
| thoonai | so starn sorry, if I wouldnt have to chew on my own pity problem I would help you | 07:41 |
| Gallomimia | Trion: the same reasons you use linux for everything else. | 07:41 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: you're right | 07:41 |
| starn | Trion: high frame rates and better speed on linux and opengl vs windows on directx | 07:41 |
| finnigan | trion im on a netbook and just want to play crappy old games on it | 07:42 |
| finnigan | ive been playing axis and allies on it | 07:42 |
| thoonai | but now I want to allow users to share a directory with other users | 07:42 |
| Gallomimia | i found openttd on my computer a few days ago. so addicted! | 07:42 |
| Trion | *: Ok. Is it question opengl vs DirectX | 07:42 |
| Gallomimia | thoonai: let's say user1 wants to share dir /home/user1/share | 07:42 |
| Gallomimia | /home/user1 needs to have 771 permissions at least | 07:43 |
| Trion | Is Wine legal component? | 07:43 |
| KI7MT | Am I in the right channel or did I jump into a gaming channel by accident ? | 07:43 |
| Gallomimia | yep. they're talking about the new and up and coming concept of actual gaming on linux and ubuntu | 07:44 |
| starn | Trion: which in turns allows somewhat older machines run some of the newer machines they could not before.. it's mostly due to the fact linux uses less resources than windows. which allows the os to allow the games to use more power... and Trion i'm not sure just figured you was asking why people would play games on linux vs windows or console? right now | 07:44 |
| starn | i'm busy trying to figure out this whole linux network bridge. and from what i know wine is a grey area? | 07:44 |
| thoonai | KI7MT: what do you want? If you want pot, you should go to #kitchen | 07:44 |
| Gallomimia | Trion yes wine is allowed | 07:44 |
| === root is now known as Guest19976 | ||
| Gallomimia | tho i think there's some grey area around newer directX runtimes | 07:44 |
| KI7MT | thoonai, I have plenty of pot right here on my desk, what I was looking for was ubuntu support | 07:44 |
| thoonai | KI7MT: sorry lame joke | 07:44 |

| === comrade is now known as Guest47368 | ||
| Gallomimia | honestly the middle permission is irrelevant. since you have the group set to the group which contains just the owner | 07:46 |
| starn | thanks Gallomimia, i'm just going to assume off topic is xubuntu-offtopic as well. | 07:46 |
| Gallomimia | i know so little about xubuntu it's not funny :( | 07:47 |
| Gallomimia | don't even know where their chat channels are :/ | 07:47 |
| Trion | I'm afraid to use Wine, because soft of windows can injure my home directory or it cannot? | 07:48 |
| Gallomimia | also, a directory which has permissions for read and/or write but not execute, is worthless. you can't read or write without the execute permission | 07:48 |
| Ben64 | Trion: don't install any viruses | 07:49 |
| Gallomimia | Trion: that's a very good point. i'd better look into that | 07:49 |
| oli_the_obliviou | i need some help | 07:49 |

| maxxsire | I already deleted the similar processes... but I'll post both on another if you like | 08:14 |
| somsip | maxxsire: ok. I expected that /sbin/init (PID 1) would be present on both users and so would not show on a list of differences. You have some processes I didn't expect to see, like 2023 to 2062 which show no name. And others the same. Not sure about that at all... | 08:16 |

| ubottu | maxxsire: To test your hardware, you can use the packages memtest86+ (for memory, can be started from the !GRUB boot menu), smartmontools (for hard drives), cpuburn (which MIGHT damage your processor if cooling is not adequate!). Additionally, lm-sensors can be useful to monitor temperatures and fan speeds - See also !benchmark | 08:26 |
| Ben64 | Danato: what did you do to it, and how did you log in to cli only? | 08:26 |
| Danato | Ben64, on greeter session I typed light-gtk-greeter, when i meant to write ubuntu.desktop | 08:28 |
| Ben64 | Danato: ok, so how did you get to command line | 08:29 |
| Guest17558 | Hi. I was wandering how can I start ssh server at boot. After installing open ssh server there is nothing beside ssh in init.d so I run update-rc defaults, but not much happened - only kill scripts in rc.d's appeared. | 08:29 |
| Danato | Ben64, and i booted on advanced options, recovery mode, drop to root shell prompt | 08:29 |
| Danato | is that the wrong way? | 08:30 |
| somsip | !text | Danato | 08:30 |
| ubottu | Danato: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 08:30 |
| Ben64 | Danato: ok then run this to enable writing to the partition, and be careful :) "mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /" | 08:30 |
| somsip | Danato: you're in recovery mode, which is more restrictive | 08:30 |
| TomyWork | i want to get rid of a broken postrm script of a package that is half-installed. where can i find it? | 08:30 |
| Flannel | Guest17558: After installing openssh-server, it starts at boot by default. | 08:31 |
| somsip | Guest17558: is the service running? My experience of sshd is it automatically starts up on boot afte rinstall | 08:31 |
| pao | Guest17558: Check netstat -tap if ssh is present? | 08:32 |
| leichtgewicht | Hello guys! I am trying to setup a initctl service and so far it seems to work. Except that it doesn't seem to have the necessary binary in the path. | 08:34 |
| leichtgewicht | The script requires "forever": a system that is installed using nodejs's npm. | 08:34 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: forever is a binary? | 08:35 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: or executable? | 08:35 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: check. | 08:35 |
| Guest17558 | Flannel, somsip pao, greping through ps -ef, checking netstat, verifying service --status-all doesn't return anything indicating that sshd is working | 08:35 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: its a script | 08:36 |
| leichtgewicht | (executable) | 08:36 |
| somsip | Guest17558: try sudo service sshd restart (or stop, then start) | 08:36 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: and you want this on path? Create a symlink from somewhere in path to it. | 08:36 |
| Ben64 | somsip, Guest17558: the service is called "ssh" not sshd | 08:37 |
| somsip | Ben64: ta | 08:37 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: It is in my path. | 08:37 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: does initctl use your PATH or the system PATH...? | 08:38 |
| leichtgewicht | But during the execution of /etc/init/ conf it misses. | 08:38 |
| pao | leichtgewicht: check foreman it will automatically create an upstart or initctl for you... | 08:39 |
| leichtgewicht | pao: foreman? | 08:39 |
| pao | leichtgewicht: http://blog.daviddollar.org/2011/05/06/introducing-foreman.html | 08:40 |
| Guest17558 | somsip, Ben64, running /ssh restart didn't even returned any output, server still unusable . | 08:40 |
| somsip | Guest17558: is it correctly installed? Is there anything in the error log? | 08:41 |
| leichtgewicht | pao: (sweat) | 08:42 |
| Guest17558 | somsip, where can I find the error log? | 08:43 |
| helmut_ | hi | 08:44 |
| KI7MT | I missed the first part of this, does he have openssh-server installed? | 08:44 |
| Ben64 | KI7MT: supposedly | 08:45 |
| Guest17558 | KI7MT, Yes, I do have. | 08:45 |
| somsip | Guest17558: and you've done 'sudo service ssh restart' and there was *no* output? | 08:46 |
| Oog | i just setup static networking sot then I removed dhcp as recommended sudo aptitude remove isc-dhcp-client dhcp3-client dhcpcd | 08:46 |
| Oog | then when i did tab to auto complete i would get "initctl: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory" | 08:47 |
| leichtgewicht | pao: I am sorry: But I feel it overkill to learn a new system when all i need is to understand how the path resolution during startup works. | 08:47 |
| Oog | so i rebooted and now i dont get the error but tab completing "sudo start sm" doesn't work | 08:47 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: so where is 'forever' located? | 08:47 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: /opt/bitnami/nodejs/bin/forever | 08:48 |
| leichtgewicht | (bitnami ec2 instance) | 08:48 |
| KI7MT | Guest17558, any output form this: sudo ss -lnp |grep sshd | 08:48 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: which is not in the system PATH so it won't find it unless you add a link to it from somewhere that is in the system path | 08:48 |
| vvinothkumar | Is there any way to force ppp interface name using through wvdial or some other mean? | 08:49 |
| maxxsire | I think I might have to go with a reinstall because I opened up browser within terminal to see what kind of outputs it would throw when the browser crashed but this time my whole computer froze... the first time that's happened... | 08:49 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: It is in the path for both root and bitnami user (shell). | 08:49 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: unexpected. Maybe put the full path to /opt/binamai/.../forever in the startup script then? | 08:51 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: does forever expect node.js to be in path too? | 08:53 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: I assume. | 08:53 |
| somsip | maxxsire: anything in /var/log/syslog? | 08:54 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: I assume yes. | 08:54 |
| pao | leichtgewicht: if your talking about ruby as new on your system you could use the foreman on heroku toolbelt https://toolbelt.heroku.com/debian so you would not install ruby anymore | 08:54 |
| maxxsire | I didn't open up a channel directly to you. I shouldn't /msg anyone then? I'll check | 08:55 |
| pao | leichtgewicht: also node.js has a port of foreman https://github.com/NodeFly/node-foreman | 08:55 |

| Beldar | darius93, run dist-upgrade | 08:56 |
| somsip | Guest17558: what version of ubuntu is this? You should be using service, not calling the /etc/init.d scripts direct. But try just 'start' if 'restart' fails. As suggested before | 08:57 |
| darius93 | Beldar: may i ask why run dist-upgrade? | 08:57 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: re | 08:57 |
| KI7MT | Guest17558, Ok well that mean, it's definately not listening on any ports. I would first try to re-install the package: sudo apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server .. then we cna go from there. | 08:57 |
| somsip | darius93: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:57 |
| Beldar | darius93, kernels are held in apt-get unless you run it | 08:58 |
| mjayk | darius93: run that because that error means the kernels are out of data because your version is to old | 08:58 |
| darius93 | ah ok. Is it safe to use the latest kernel? | 08:58 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, when you say it's in "your" path, do you mean your terminal or the environment inside your init script? | 08:58 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: just spoke with my admin, there will be an /home/shared/$USER folder for every $USER in the system | 08:58 |

| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, then look at that file | 08:59 |

| Guest17558 | somsip, stop returns 'stop; unknown instance'. Version is 13.10 server edition. , KI7MT will try that out. | 09:00 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: so because 775 is very intrusive to people having folders in /home and others being allowed to list all content | 09:01 |
| darius93 | lol well i just want to make sure its safe. I remember when i was on kubuntu and i upgraded the kernel it broke the whole system to where i had to use the old kernel | 09:01 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: thanks ;) | 09:01 |
| Beldar | darius93, This wiki explains, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto | 09:02 |
| darius93 | Beldar: Im mainly am asking now if its safe? Would I need to reinstall my gpu drivers, etc? | 09:05 |
| leichtgewicht | Sven_vB: The path is missing. | 09:06 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, make your init script set it up. | 09:06 |
| leichtgewicht | Sven_vB: How can I add paths to those variables ? | 09:06 |
| maxxsire | for some reason I get permission denied when I input /var/log/syslog ... I thought when you /msg someone it wasn't PM but that it just let the person know within channel that you specifically talking to them, sorry. | 09:06 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, pastebin your init script | 09:06 |
| leichtgewicht | Sven_vB: The init script is just a exec command ... | 09:07 |
| maxxsire | somsip should I just reinstall if that's the case | 09:07 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, no #!... in the first line? | 09:07 |
| somsip | maxxsire: you need to view the file. I believe there is a log viewer somewhere, or you can 'less /var/log/syslog' in a terminal and scroll with [space], b, and search with / | 09:07 |
| Beldar | darius93, Where are the drivers from? | 09:08 |
| darius93 | AMD. I installed them from Additional Drivers | 09:08 |
| Beldar | darius93, Probably not. | 09:08 |
| maxxsire | what am I looking for? It's a long list | 09:09 |
| darius93 | hmm ok. Imma give it a try and hope it doesnt break anything like it did before >.< | 09:09 |
| somsip | maxxsire: errors (/error) | 09:09 |
| leichtgewicht | Sven_vB: http://pastebin.com/NcVadEaP | 09:11 |
| maxxsire | should I put them in pastebin.ubuntu.com? | 09:12 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, in start.sh add a line after DIR= and there set PATH+=':/your/path' | 09:12 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, mind the : after += | 09:12 |
| somsip | maxxsire: if you find errors, sure. Try not to paste the whole thing though | 09:13 |
| leichtgewicht | Sven_vB: The start.sh is not-installation specific and is used during development as well. | 09:13 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, and after that, add: export PATH | 09:13 |
| leichtgewicht | Sven_vB: I will try it using a wrapper script | 09:13 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, hm... then you'll have to investigate the init script commands further, or redirect the "exec sh" through env. or change the exec to ... yes, you should change that, because your start.sh expects bash. so change it to exec bash 'PATH+=:/your/path; export PATH; exec /home/bitnami/myapp/tools/start.sh' | 09:15 |
| maxxsire | somsip here's the Pastbin http://paste.ubuntu.com/6755199/ | 09:16 |
| somsip | maxxsire: nah - that's nothing to worry about. Strange. I did expect to see something in there. I'm wondering about memory errors, but you didn't answer if other things crash if you leave it running for a long time | 09:17 |
| jjavaholic | can't watch two instanteous flash videos anymore what should I look for? | 09:17 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, maybe a cleaner solution would be to make bash source the entire profile, then your service's view would stay in sync with your terminals. | 09:17 |
| nevyn | jjavaholic: did you turn off pulseaudio? | 09:17 |
| leichtgewicht | Sven_vB: The last sentence is hard to decipher for me. | 09:18 |

| maxxsire | usually within 10 minutes of the browser going sluggish, about 35 minutes of starting the browser, the browser crashes | 09:19 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, "source" is the bash command with that name, profile is the user's profile, usually consisting of /etc/profile and ~/.profile | 09:20 |
| VlanY | if I wanted to print the current time with echo ....... in the terminal, what should I write? | 09:20 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, those are the places where the default environment is set up | 09:21 |
| somsip | VlanY: 'date' | 09:21 |
| Sven_vB | VlanY, echo usually doesn't support it. try the date program. | 09:22 |
| maxxsire | somsip the last time instead of the browser crashing my whole computer just froze, the first time that's happened. Like I said it's happening faster all the time, being sluggish and crashing, and freezong the whole computer means it's definitly getting worse. | 09:22 |
| leichtgewicht | Sven_vB: I think I would like to do that :) Neither etc/profile nor /home/bitnami/.profile modify the path | 09:23 |
| somsip | maxxsire: I read that before and it still doesn't answer my question. Does it crash if you don't run browsers? | 09:23 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, /etc/profile should have a reference to profile.d, and in there should be the path setup | 09:24 |
| VlanY | Sven_vB: thanks man | 09:24 |
| Sven_vB | leichtgewicht, setup with the least impact, so if only one user needs that path, add it to that user's profile only. | 09:24 |
| maxxsire | about a month ago the browser would crash over an hour out and now it's at the 35 minute range. It's does not happen if I don't run a browser as far as I can tell. | 09:25 |

| Sven_vB | also your sed invocation seems overly complicated. what are you trying to do? | 10:05 |

| sgo11 | how to check my current cpu frequency in command line? thanks. | 10:07 |
| Sven_vB | sed -re 's~/~.~g' to avoid the \, or just: tr / . | 10:07 |
| Ben64 | sgo11: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i hz | 10:07 |
| thoonai | Sven_vB: oh the command works quite fine as it is ;) | 10:08 |
| thoonai | Ben64: should I be worried if (readlink -f blub/ | sed -e 's/\//./g') | 10:09 |
| sgo11 | Ben64, thanks. but I am using arm based ubuntu. it does not have any output . | 10:09 |
| k1l_ | !arm | sgo11 | 10:09 |
| ubottu | sgo11: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 10:09 |
| thoonai | Ben64: sorry, wrong paste | 10:09 |
| sgo11 | k1l_, thanks. that channel is not very active like here. I will try there. thanks. | 10:10 |
| thoonai | Ben64: "cpu MHz: 800" if it is an core i5 with 2.3GHz rating? | 10:10 |
| k1l_ | sgo11: you are not even on that arm channel. and like you already know it doesnt help if you receive x86 specific suggestions all the time | 10:12 |
| sgo11 | k1l_, I found how. it should be the same to x86. "sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq". I tried in both arm and x86. both work. | 10:13 |
| thoonai | Sven_vB: I get an ambigous redirect if I want to pipe the output of getfacl with ">" into $SAVENAME | 10:14 |
| Sven_vB | thoonai, put a space before the > and "" around $SAVENAME | 10:16 |
| Ben64 | thoonai: the frequency doesn't need to be maxed when its not in use | 10:17 |

| yanick | hi, I'm trying to install a plugin for GIMP (Felimage) and the ./configure script complains about not meeting the package requirements : gimp-2.0 >= 2.2.0 gimpui-2.0 >= 2.2.0 | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | ws2k3, not directly. | 10:49 |
| yanick | can someone help me with this? | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | ws2k3, 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 | 10:49 |
| ws2k3 | i noticed that do-release-upgrade does not work anymore | 10:49 |
| ws2k3 | cfhowlett yes but how | 10:49 |
| ws2k3 | because i cant download the natty.tgz anymore | 10:50 |
| ikonia | yanick: your version does not meet the package requiremens for the plugin | 10:50 |
| cfhowlett | ws2k3, yep. that's what happens if you skip one release. Also why I only do LTS. that way you can go LTS to LTS. | 10:50 |
| ws2k3 | yes i know :P | 10:50 |
| cfhowlett | ws2k3, in your case: torrent the 12.04 and clean install | 10:50 |
| yanick | ikonia, I have GIMP 2.6 installed | 10:50 |
| ws2k3 | well thats not realy an option | 10:50 |
| ws2k3 | i have to find a way to upgrade this machine | 10:50 |
| cfhowlett | ws2k3, why not? | 10:50 |
| * cfhowlett is curious | 10:50 | |
| yanick | ikonia, take that back, I have 2.8 installed | 10:51 |
| ws2k3 | because this machine is so complex it will take me a couple of weeks to redo everything | 10:51 |
| cfhowlett | ws2k3, ah. option b: | 10:51 |
| ikonia | yanick: doesn't look like it | 10:51 |
| DJones | !eolupgrade | ws2k3 This may help, but as cfhowlett suggested, the most reliable method will to to fresh install, going through so many upgrades could well cause breakage issues | 10:51 |
| ubottu | ws2k3 This may help, but as cfhowlett suggested, the most reliable method will to to fresh install, going through so many upgrades could well cause breakage issues: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 10:51 |
| cfhowlett | ws2k3, clean install 10.04 (LTS) upgrade to 12.04 | 10:51 |
| yanick | ikonia, I launch GIMP and it says 2.8 :) my guess is that Felimage ./configure script cannot find GIMP | 10:52 |
| cfhowlett | DJones, thanks! | 10:52 |
| ws2k3 | okay | 10:52 |
| ikonia | yanick: I doubt that | 10:52 |
| yanick | ikonia, hmmm.... ok..... | 10:52 |
| ikonia | I'd look at how it's checking, eg: pkg-config, | 10:53 |
| jjttee | is there a way to password-protect an archive WITHOUT compression? Because I have big folders that I want to keep private. | 10:53 |
| gordonjcp | jjttee: don't give people your password then | 10:53 |
| jjttee | gordonjcp: you misunderstood | 10:54 |
| Myrtti | jjttee: an archive? tar without compression? | 10:54 |
| ws2k3 | it sucks so hard ubuntu just trows old releases offline | 10:54 |
| Myrtti | then gpg it or something. | 10:54 |
| jjttee | Myrtti: but TAR doesn't give an option for a password to be set | 10:54 |
| Myrtti | jjttee: yes, use gpg or something for the encryption. | 10:54 |
| gordonjcp | jjttee: no, I didn't | 10:55 |
| Myrtti | mind you, I've never done it so I can't help you with it | 10:55 |
| yanick | ikonia, I don't understand how I can prove to you that I have, in fact, GIMP 2.8 installed | 10:55 |
| gordonjcp | jjttee: if you don't let people log is as you, they wont' have permission to read your files | 10:55 |
| ikonia | yanick: pastebint the full output of "./configure" please. | 10:55 |
| yanick | ikonia, k | 10:56 |
| DJones | ws2k3: They don't get taken completely offline, just moved to the oldreleases page the bot linked you to, if they didn't, people would keep using unsupported releases and would still want support etc | 10:57 |
| ndamba | I'm not skype in my computer. I'm beginner... Can you help me? | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | ws2k3, reminder: new 13.10 and beyond: 9 months support. LTS is looking better and better. and you didn't bother upgrading for 3 years so ... little sympathy | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | :) | 10:58 |
| yanick | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/GduXa8Sv | 10:58 |
| yanick | ikonia, I'm looking at the script to find how it is checking for the package version | 10:59 |
| ikonia | yanick: what did I tell you | 10:59 |
| ikonia | Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you | 10:59 |
| jjttee | I have an external HD . Half is NTFS. The other is EXT4. How come I can't create/paste into either partition? | 11:00 |
| jjttee | i used sudo gparted | 11:01 |
| yanick | ikonia, I have no idea how to get gimp's version out of pkg-config | 11:02 |
| yanick | ikonia, because "$ gimp --version" output "GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.8.10" | 11:03 |

| cfhowlett | thoonai, lock down vbox config files? | 11:07 |
| thoonai | Gallomimia: yup | 11:07 |
| Gallomimia | yeah. chown the config files and set permissions to r/o | 11:07 |
| Gallomimia | remember to make the folder they're in r/o also, or they can just delete the file and make their own | 11:08 |
| thoonai | how do I fix that they can execute vboxsdl? | 11:09 |
| Gallomimia | thanks geirha next question. any ideas on when kernel 3.12 will become standard? that's what i'm running and im eager to see it enter the support umbrula | 11:09 |
| cfhowlett | thoonai, this might be a question best asked in #vbox | 11:09 |
| geirha | Gallomimia: If 3.12 is the latest stable when the next ubuntu release goes into package freeze, then that's the version it will have | 11:10 |

| hitsujiTMO | AxonetBE: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade <--- upgrades everything except kernel | 11:39 |
| AxonetBE | hitsujiTMO: but then I get this The following packages have been kept back: linux-image linux-image-generic | 11:40 |
| AxonetBE | so it fails | 11:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | AxonetBE: thats not it failing, thats it not updating the kernel. | 11:40 |
| AxonetBE | ok | 11:40 |
| AxonetBE | this one are kept back : linux-image linux-image-generic mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server-core-5.5 | 11:41 |
| AxonetBE | why mysql also? | 11:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | AxonetBE: because you're using a PPA that has dependencies that have changed | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | AxonetBE: deps are not satisfiable. | 11:42 |

| hitsujiTMO | !dist-upgrade | AxonetBE this might explain it | 11:43 |
| ubottu | AxonetBE this might explain it: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 11:43 |

| JustSomeGuy | hitsujiTMO, i did that but somehow unity is ignoring my setting (i changed the background to stretched via picture_options and added that to ~/.gconf/desktop/background/&gconf.xml) | 12:37 |
| JustSomeGuy | ur %gconf.xml not &gconf.xml | 12:37 |
| JustSomeGuy | when i run gconf-editor and check the key it is properly setted also in the config menu of unity it is set to the right value but the background is still wrong | 12:38 |
| JustSomeGuy | uh sry no the value in gconf is correct but the value in the unity config tool is wrong | 12:40 |

| Magical1 | I am trying to update the contents of a folder, I have a new folder that contains all the new files, but there are files in the old folder that need to remain, but anything that all ready exists should be overwritten by new versions ... is there an easy way to do this or do I have to manually copy file by file? | 12:43 |

| galaxyAbstractor | How can I make ubuntu turn off the screen instead of rendering a gray image when going into screensaver? | 13:09 |
| CaptainQuirk | Hi there | 13:09 |
| CaptainQuirk | I modified my grub file to prevent ubuntu to load the graphical splash screen | 13:10 |
| CaptainQuirk | After login in, I do startx | 13:10 |
| CaptainQuirk | I get the desktop background, but nothing else | 13:10 |
| CaptainQuirk | well, the files and folders on my desktop too | 13:10 |
| CaptainQuirk | but the lense is absent | 13:10 |
| CaptainQuirk | as the navbar on top | 13:11 |
| galaxyAbstractor | It's extremely annoying since I use ubuntu on my file server that's hooked up to the same screen as my windows computer, and whenever windows turns off the screen in the screensaver, my screen switches to next input that is sending a signal (=ubuntu) | 13:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | CaptainQuirk: "I modified my grub file to prevent ubuntu to load the graphical splash screen" how exactly did you do this? | 13:12 |
| yacc | Any idea how quick a fix in the Intel HD video driver will make it from upstream into Ubuntu? | 13:12 |
| sandGorgon | does anyone know how to remap the XF86Copy to super+c ? | 13:13 |
| galaxyAbstractor | Otherwise, would it be possible to run a command whenever the screensaver comes on? Like 'xset dpms force off'? | 13:17 |
| CaptainQuirk | hitsujiTMO, modifying /etc/default/grub, specifically the entry « GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT » | 13:18 |
| galaxyAbstractor | I donm't really get the idea off just rendering a screen to save power instead of turning the screen off | 13:18 |

| Lunar_LanderU | hi, I earlier tried to get /proc/cpuinfo on a machine while using a Live CD, but typing that into the terminal only gave "permission denied", and I would like to know the CPU flags, to see if the CPU has PAE. What can I do? | 13:26 |
| Pici | Lunar_LanderU: What exactly did you type? | 13:26 |
| Lunar_LanderU | I openened the terminal and wrote "/proc/cpuinfo" | 13:27 |
| galaxyAbstractor | Seems like doing 'xset +dpms; xset dpms 300' in a terminal makes the screen turn off properly after 5 minutes, but will that stick between reboots or do I have to execute that on each startup? | 13:27 |
| Carlital | Hi fellow ubuntu users | 13:27 |
| Pici | Lunar_LanderU: Its a file, not an executable. Use "cat /proc/cpuinfo" or "less /proc/cpuinfo" | 13:27 |

These patents are being actively litigated, so usage and development of programs related to the MP3 format is at your own risk. Consider using Ogg Vorbis, which is a free and higher quality alternative to MP3 (you just need to buy audio equipment more carefully). | 13:38 |

| demophobia | hitsujiTMO, flac isn't intended for general use?! really?! i thought it was o_o why d'you say it's not? ... | 13:39 |
| galaxyAbstractor | glitsj16: What's the default? I haven't installed or changed anything regarding that since install :P | 13:39 |
| ZachInIsrael | using dd didn't work, it thinks there is no os on my thumb drive | 13:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | demophobia: its lossless. so not the best compression. Its more for studio work than anything else | 13:40 |
| demophobia | for "music archival"? does that mean i should only use flac for storage, not for daily listening? | 13:40 |

| glitsj16 | galaxyAbstractor: what version of ubuntu are you running btw? | 13:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | demophobia: audiophiles would have you believe that. flac is a lossless type. the difference between a high quality lossy type and a lossless type is typically inaudible. | 13:42 |
| galaxyAbstractor | glitsj16: 13.10 64-bit. gnome-screensaver is installed | 13:42 |
| cfhowlett | hitsujiTMO, well, you DOG might be able to distinguish the difference ... | 13:42 |
| glitsj16 | galaxyAbstractor: have you tried switching to xscreensaver? that should have a 'blank screen only' option iirc | 13:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | demophobia: certain types of sounds don't compress well with certain lossy techniques and lead to distortion. thats generally the main complaint about mp3 as it cuts off anything above 15khz.and many high pitch noises feature some sort of distortion. (not easily picked up by most listeners) | 13:45 |

| ZachInIsrael | i still am having no luck getting this boot disk working I downloaded ubuntu again, check both the SHA1 and the md5 (both fine) | 14:24 |
| sgo11 | trijntje, because I am using arm. normal flash does not exist in arm. thanks. | 14:24 |
| trijntje | ZachInIsrael: what are you trying to do? | 14:24 |

| gordonjcp | ZachInIsrael: don't use unetbootin, use dd | 14:37 |
| trijntje | ZachInIsrael: since many people boot ubuntu succesfully, I'd say its a problem with you're BIOS settings. Can you put the usb in your pc and check if the bIOS sees it as a second harddisk instead of usb drive? | 14:37 |
| ZachInIsrael | it is seeing it as a hard drive | 14:38 |

| ZachInIsrael | ok, now I created a boot disk with unetbootin, on a different thumbdrive, with fedora, and it is *STILL* not booting | 14:45 |
| trijntje | ZachInIsrael: like I said, its probably a problem with the BIOS. But why don't you test the disk on the fedora pc? | 14:46 |
| ZachInIsrael | I don't have a fedora PC, there is only one PC, I put fedora on the thumbdrive | 14:46 |
| ZachInIsrael | i think there might be a bios problem, in general, i have noticed a few other things, and when I try to boot most of the time when I hit delete to get into the bios screen it doens't work | 14:49 |
| trijntje | ZachInIsrael: how old is that pc? | 14:50 |
| ZachInIsrael | about 2-3 years | 14:51 |

| Justin_ZW | So I've got a bit of a problem. I'm trying to install Ubuntu as a dual boot with Windows 7, and I shrunk my NTFS partition to make room for Ubuntu. However, when trying to install Ubuntu through the CD, I get a ton of errors saying it couldn't find a valid medium for a filesystem or something. | 15:11 |
| Justin_ZW | It lists /dev/sdb - sde, but not /dev/sda | 15:11 |
| Justin_ZW | So I wonder if it isn't recognizing the HDD or something | 15:11 |
| Justin_ZW | Any insight on this? | 15:11 |
| trijntje | Justin_ZW: maybe windows is on one of those, it doesn't have to be /dev/sda. Have you checked? | 15:12 |
| gacyne | try parted and make new partition and format it? | 15:12 |
| Justin_ZW | I can't get to gparted | 15:12 |
| Justin_ZW | It fails and makes a default fs from RAM | 15:12 |
| Justin_ZW | With a terribly limited command line | 15:12 |
| Justin_ZW | It wasn't any shell I've ever seen. It was busybox. | 15:13 |
| trijntje | Justin_ZW: command line? You shouldn't get a command line when using the ubuntu installer. What version of ubuntu did you download? | 15:13 |
| Justin_ZW | I don't remember. I know it isn't current, but maybe I need to clarify something: I can't even get to the live boot test gui | 15:14 |
| bluecap | it says :"Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming." | 15:14 |
| Hix | with vncserver are there any other files that I need to edit for config apart from ~/.vnc/xstartup ? Getting grey screeens or desktop with no menus etc | 15:14 |
| trijntje | Justin_ZW: go to ubuntu.com and download the latest version, and try again. It could be the image is just to old for your pc | 15:14 |
| gacyne | its probably not recognizing the HHD | 15:15 |
| === root is now known as c0d3Bit | ||
| bluecap | it says --"Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created" | 15:15 |
| Justin_ZW | I don't have the means to put an ISO on a disk right now. | 15:15 |
| Justin_ZW | And I don't have any flash drives. | 15:15 |
| Justin_ZW | Is there any way to get around that? | 15:15 |
| gacyne | you can boot an iso from grub | 15:16 |
| trijntje | Justin_ZW: can you hold shift while booting from CD and check the disk for errors? | 15:16 |
| Justin_ZW | Does holding shift bring you to a menu that says stuff like "Live boot from CD / Install Ubuntu / Check disk for errors / something / something | 15:17 |
| Justin_ZW | Because if so, I tried that and it did the same thing. | 15:17 |
| trijntje | Justin_ZW: yeah, you need the 'check disk for errors' option | 15:17 |
| trijntje | did what? | 15:18 |
| Justin_ZW | Wouldn't even check the disk. | 15:18 |
| Justin_ZW | It just took me to busybox | 15:18 |
| Justin_ZW | Saying it couldn't find a valid filesystem medium or something | 15:18 |
| trijntje | Justin_ZW: sounds like the CD is really broken, I don't think there's much you can do at this point | 15:18 |
| trijntje | other than creating a new boot medium that is | 15:19 |
| Justin_ZW | But what I don't get is that the same CD worked on other computers. | 15:19 |
| Justin_ZW | Recently. | 15:19 |
| Justin_ZW | And it wasn't damaged. | 15:19 |

| Droids | quick question: what are the most common ubuntu-based distros with gnomeshell by default? | 15:49 |
| zetheroo1 | I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a brand new T440p Thinkpad with Intel graphics ... is there a way to check if I am using the correct graphics driver? -- I have a feeling that compiz is not running for some reason ... | 15:49 |
| DJones | Droids: Well the official one is http://www.ubuntugnome.com/ thats the one that would be supported here | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Droids: why not just install gnome-shell on Ubuntu... then you will get the shell and the support of the Ubuntu community | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo1: ps -ef | grep -i compiz | grep -v grep | 15:51 |
| zetheroo1 | ActionParsnip: gives no output | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo1: then its not running | 15:52 |
| zetheroo1 | shucks | 15:53 |
| Droids | DJones: alright. what is the difference to "ubuntu gnome shell remix"? | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo1: there is an Intel driver GUI installer. OmgUbuntu has a nice guide how to install the installer | 15:53 |
| Droids | ActionParsnip: hm, can I install it besides xfce (Xubuntu) without problems? and every login choose if I want the gnomeshell or the xfce environment? | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Droids: sure, will be fine | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Droids: I believe you can run Gnome shell on top of the XFCE, I could be wrong | 15:54 |
| zetheroo1 | Is this the one? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/intel-release-graphical-installer-for-their-linux-drivers | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo1: aye | 15:54 |
| zetheroo1 | ok, will give that a try | 15:54 |
| zetheroo1 | is that supposed to update the Intel gfx drivers? | 15:55 |
| DJones | Droids: I think the difference is about 6-12 months, in that the old Gnome shell remix project that went up to about 12.04/12.10, became the official ubuntugnome project | 15:55 |
| Droids | ActionParsnip: awesome, thanks a lot! I will give it a try, I think | 15:56 |

| compdoc | Hix, cool | 15:56 |
| zetheroo1 | ActionParsnip: says here (https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/intelr-graphics-installer-1.0-linux) that it's obsolete ... and if I go to the latest version it's for Ubuntu 13.04 .... can I still install it under 12.04? | 15:57 |
| DJones | Droids: Just doing a bit of digging https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME Ubuntu GNOME (formerly Ubuntu GNOME Remix) is a mostly pure GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu repositories. Our first (unofficial) release was 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal), released in October 2012. The first official release was 13.04 | 15:57 |

| Droids | * in a hurry | 15:58 |
| compdoc | Hix, i chose the Mate desktop because you can install normal Ubuntu applications that run in Unity/gnome. I dont know if xfce supports those programs | 15:59 |

| lst22 | hello, i'm wondering if this is an appropriate place to ask about a 12.04 LVM luks setup that used to work UNTIL normal update | 16:40 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | hitsujiTMO: lol the whole thing crashed | 16:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | lol | 16:41 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | I can't click on the widgets anymore D; | 16:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | YOURBESTFRIEND: relog. if you have a big enough porn collection then it could have been taking too long to remove the indexes | 16:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | YOURBESTFRIEND: that or unity really doesn't want to hide your porn | 16:42 |
| YOURBESTFRIEND | hitsujiTMO: I'm not even there yet, I clicked on "+" to add an exception and the thing froze | 16:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | ahh lol | 16:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: yes | 16:43 |
| === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi | ||
| lst22 | great. so i imagine the normal update has messed with update-initramfs or grub or /etc/crypttab or /etc/fstab or etc, but it freezes at "cryptsetup: .. set up successfully" after i enter the full-disk passphrase. | 16:46 |
| lst22 | where should i start to debug? and how? | 16:46 |

| === yunoletmeplaytoo is now known as whiskers75 | ||
| YOURBESTFRIEND | hitsujiTMO: how do I make it refresh the index? | 16:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: would be an idea to boot a live cd. chroot in and re update the initramfs | 16:47 |
| user__ | ls | 16:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | YOURBESTFRIEND: that should force a refresh if its written propperly. you could maybe try renaming ~/.local/share/zeitgeist and see if that forces a reindex without breaking it | 16:48 |
| FarrisG | Any rinetd experts? For various resons, I have this one instance where I have to use rinetd to allow a client in one network to access postgres db in another network. Problem is it leaks connections. The clients only use about 50 connections a day, but rinetd doesn't properly close them all, so after a few weeks I have ~2000 open "ESTABLISHED" connections. Eventually i hit ulimit and die. Anything I can do to get rinetd to clean u | 16:49 |
| FarrisG | after itself? | 16:49 |
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: thanks. what will tell update-initramfs how to do things properly as the big update probably ran update-initramfs and that caused the problem? | 16:49 |
| lst22 | looking up what update-initramfs does to see if manual editing of a line necessary.. | 16:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: could be a number of issues but there may be a log somewhere. is there any specific error when you get dropped to busybox or anything like that? | 16:50 |

| FourFire | Hello | 16:55 |
| FourFire | Just trying out 14.04 pre | 16:55 |
| somsip | !14.04 | FourFire | 16:55 |
| ubottu | FourFire: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 | 16:55 |
| FourFire | somsip: , no I'm running it, right now | 16:55 |
| FourFire | it's different | 16:56 |
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: booting, will have to wait 3-5mins to see if it drops to busybox... i may have to try something like command, "lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-2-686-pae" to list contents but not sure what it should include so let's try busybox first | 16:56 |
| somsip | FourFire: the main bit is 'support in #ubuntu+1' | 16:56 |
| FourFire | alrigt | 16:56 |
| FourFire | there was some issue with fonts or something | 16:56 |
| FourFire | kept it paused for quite some time | 16:56 |
| somsip | FourFire: support in #ubuntu+1... | 16:57 |
| FourFire | oh, right, thanks | 17:00 |
| === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence|away | ||
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: still waiting to see if busybox black screen appears.. maybe i need to change /etc/initramfs-tools/modules which may tell update-initramfs what to do? | 17:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: what exactly are you getting stuck at so? | 17:05 |
| lst22 | of course, not sure that initramfs is even the problem | 17:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: have you tried booting without quiet and splash | 17:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: you should be getting dropped to initramfs very quickly | 17:06 |

| ImagineBreaker | Hey guys, got some X11 problems... | 17:07 |
| ImagineBreaker | NXclient closes with a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE error | 17:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | !details | ImagineBreaker | 17:07 |
| ubottu | ImagineBreaker: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 17:07 |
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: hmm, i don't know how to do that. do i select that on my grub options, maybe "rescue" > "command line" and then some command to boot quiet and no splash? | 17:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: in the grub menu hit e to edit the grub command. remove quiet splash from the linux book line | 17:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | boot* | 17:08 |
| lst22 | so still no black screen, hangs on splash with message, "cryptsetup: lvm_crypt set up successfully" [lvm_crypt is my name and could be different] | 17:08 |
| lst22 | ok, will try that e to edit. thanks! | 17:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: that will dump dmesg to the screen | 17:09 |
| Ouija | Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with GNU Grub 2.00 | 17:10 |
| Ouija | Every time I boot my computer it starts Grub | 17:11 |
| Ouija | How do I make it stop doing that? | 17:12 |
| Ouija | Or alternatively is there a way for me to tell grub to boot from a disk? | 17:12 |
| gordonjcp | Ouija: set its timeout to zero | 17:12 |
| Ouija | I have no idea how to use Grub, to be honest | 17:12 |
| Ouija | Could you tell me the command? | 17:12 |
| trijntje | Ouija: what exactly are you trying to do? Grub is needed to start ubuntu | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | Ouija: you edit something like GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | and then run update-grub | 17:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ouija: edit the entry in /etc/default/grub and then run: sudo update-grub | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | you might want GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT, I'm not sure | 17:14 |
| Ouija | What happened was I bought a new laptop with Windows 8 installed on it. I set it up to dual-boot Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon but when I tried to use it nothing worked. I couldn't connect to wifi or ethernet and my driver manager was empty | 17:15 |
| Ouija | So I went back to Windows 8 and deleted the partitions for Mint | 17:15 |
| gordonjcp | oh | 17:15 |
| Ouija | And then I got a bootable flash drive that had Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 17:15 |
| gordonjcp | !mint | 17:15 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 17:15 |
| Ubbu | Hello, I'd like to now if it's possible to have an Ubuntu which is based on Debian stable or it won't be habben ever. | 17:15 |
| trijntje | Ouija: were you connected to the internet when you checked for drivers? Otherwise it won't show anything | 17:16 |
| Ouija | Mint isn't the problem. Mint isn't on the computer anymore | 17:16 |
| gordonjcp | Ubbu: Ubuntu and Debian aren't the same thing | 17:16 |
| Ubbu | I know | 17:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ouija: you should ask in ##windows for how to fix the mbr or reset windows as the default in your uefi | 17:16 |
| gordonjcp | Ubbu: why not just run Debian Obsolescent^WStable? | 17:16 |
| Ubbu | That's why I ask | 17:16 |
| teward | Ubbu: short answer: use Lucid if you want something even remotely like that, or Precise even. | 17:16 |
| Ouija | The problem started when I tried to boot from the USB flash drive that had Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it | 17:16 |
| Ubbu | Because that is not so handy . Works by the way | 17:16 |
| teward | Ubbu: 12.04's the closest still-supported release to something like what you're looking for | 17:17 |
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: thanks for tip. so interesting fact, it successfully lets me login at tty command line but ctrl+alt+f7 does not load unity/gnome | 17:17 |
| Ubbu | I alwasy use LTS but sometimes breaks in a couple of huors sometimes a couple of days. | 17:18 |
| lst22 | ctrl+alt+f7 lets me see boot messages and i see that KVM fails but i can't scroll up to see more | 17:18 |
| Ouija | As it is, I can't get out of Grub | 17:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: maybe an issue with lightdm/X. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | 17:18 |
| Ubbu | Is 10.04 more stable than 12.04? | 17:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ubbu: 10.04 is not supported on desktop. use 12.04 | 17:19 |
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: should i try unity-reset or reviewing xorg.conf or .xsession-errors or thing like that? | 17:19 |
| teward | Ubbu: 12.04 is just as stable as 10.04, and I say 12.04 because 10.04 desktop support is past end of life | 17:19 |
| teward | Ubbu: so if this is a desktop setup you should use 12.04 if you want it to be supported | 17:19 |
| teward | Ubbu: that's about as close to Debian Stable as you're going to get though | 17:19 |
| teward | (wiht Ubuntu anyways) | 17:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: run the command i gave you above. it will generate a url that you can paste here which will contain your lightdm log | 17:20 |
| Ubbu | I know thats why I use 12.04 for two months now. I tried all versions. The Xubuntu was the most stable but after 5 days my Icons from the desktop dissapeared and the wallpaper also | 17:20 |
| teward | Ubbu: that's not related to stability, more likely some other issue, but 12.04's the oldest still supported release you're going to find, and that's as close to debian stable as you can get. | 17:21 |
| teward | Ubbu: short of actually using Debian stable, anyways. | 17:21 |
| Ubbu | I'll have a look at 14.04 in 3 moths. We'll see then | 17:22 |
| Ubbu | Thanks for your answers | 17:22 |
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: minor problem, do i need to set up wireless manually from tty CLI? it didn't resolve host so i think i'm not connected | 17:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: ahh ok. have you a usb drive you can copy the log to and pastebinit from the machine you're using now? would be a good idea to also do /vat/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of dmesg too | 17:25 |

| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: with CLI, if i plug ethernet will i stil lhave to manually set up internet connection? that solution coud be very simple, but i'm CLI without internet right now | 17:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | lst22: xserver-xorg is hopefully in your apt-archive so hopefully you dont need a net connection | 17:50 |
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: although maybe package is still on my computer?? | 17:50 |
| lst22 | hitsujiTMO: no go, must have deleted unused packages or something?? will move eth cable, lose this sonnection and try xserver-xorg download? | 17:52 |

| crazyty | now how can i convert that ntfs to ext4, save data and mount it to my home directory / | 19:26 |
| Steve_McQuack | TJ- No, the crash reported doesn't pop up when I try this on 13.10. | 19:26 |
| Beldar | crazyty, Save data in what sense, is it a OS, or just data? | 19:26 |
| Pici | crazyty: you can't do an in-place conversion from ntfs to ext4. You would need to copy your data somewhere elese first and then restore it. | 19:27 |
| Myrtti | crazyty: copying all the data you want to be saved somewhere else and reformat it. There's no way of changing the filesystem with the files intact. | 19:27 |
| SchrodingersScat | crazyty: move data to new partition, erase ntfs, create ext4, move data back | 19:27 |
| crazyty | if i had a place for the data would be good | 19:27 |
| crazyty | but since i dont have i am looking for other options | 19:27 |
| crazyty | if i use disk utility and Edit Partition to ext4 | 19:28 |
| crazyty | will again erase it ? | 19:28 |
| Myrtti | crazyty: there is no other way | 19:28 |
| crazyty | just edit no format | 19:28 |
| SchrodingersScat | crazyty: shrink partition, make new small partition, move what you can, resize, move, resize, move, resize? | 19:28 |
| Steve_McQuack | TJ- The installer feeds that error out but I can still click the Quit button, so it doesn't lock up entirely. Dunno if that helps. | 19:28 |
| crazyty | yes i have that in plan b | 19:28 |
| crazyty | with resizing | 19:28 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: You'd need to read installer logs and send them manually I think. Can't remember exactly which ones but I think it'll be something like "/var/log/install???/*" | 19:29 |
| Steve_McQuack | /var/log/installer/ | 19:29 |
| Steve_McQuack | two files, "debug" and "version" | 19:30 |
| SchrodingersScat | crazyty: yeah, sounds like a last resort, but if you really have no where else to place the data, enjoy your loop. | 19:30 |
| Steve_McQuack | There doesn't seem to be anything helpful in either, but I can past what's in "debug" | 19:30 |
| Steve_McQuack | paste, if that's all right in this channel | 19:30 |
| Pici | Steve_McQuack: Please use a pastebin | 19:31 |
| Steve_McQuack | oh okay | 19:31 |
| Steve_McQuack | TJ- This is all that's there in "debug" http://pastebin.com/ZvdX5sip The other file just reads ubiquity 2.15.26 | 19:32 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: If it doesn't look useful, then we need to find a different log ... I wonder if there is a "/var/log/ubiquity/*" - Ubiquity is the name of the GUI installer | 19:32 |
| Steve_McQuack | No /ubiquity/ folder | 19:32 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: It's not being very helpful! Can you use your brains to spot any other likely log? I find that "ls -latr /var/log/" helps to order things most-recently-changed last | 19:33 |
| Steve_McQuack | I'm not a linux expert but I'll try -_- | 19:34 |

| Steve_McQuack | I doubt that | 19:53 |
| kieppie | I need it to get the hybrid disply to function properly | 19:53 |
| Steve_McQuack | Maybe that's a side effect from loop booting | 19:53 |
| kieppie | MarkDavies: probably a driver issue | 19:53 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: I doubt that... the error is coming directly from the drive | 19:53 |
| nitk | what is this error :::sudo: unable to resolve host nitk-OptiPlex-9010 | 19:53 |
| kieppie | depends on hardware, chipset, etc | 19:53 |
| Steve_McQuack | If it's finally this is news to me | 19:53 |
| MarkDavies | kieppie: how can I fix it? I use network-manager, all the standard configuration. | 19:54 |
| Steve_McQuack | I use it regularly and it seems healthy | 19:54 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: " auto reallocate failed" means the drive is trying and failing to reallocate bad sectors, probably because it has run out of spares | 19:54 |
| Steve_McQuack | if it's failing* | 19:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: thats usually controller or driver failure | 19:54 |
| kieppie | MarkDavies: short answer is you should check the wiki/docco's | 19:54 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: have the cables or drive been physically touched? maybe its a link problem | 19:54 |
| Steve_McQuack | well regardless, sdc is not the drive I'm trying to install linux to | 19:54 |

| roothorick | how do I do that? | 20:01 |
| kieppie | TriBeCa99: pretty much, provided you have an OK wired connection, as it pulls all the packages from the online repo's/cache - otherwise you can probably use the "alternate" distro's, as that s somewhat like the mini.iso but with some core/basic/common backages included on the image | 20:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | roothorick: this should get you the info you need https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics | 20:03 |

| gibbs | Is it possible to restrict an SSH key to a certain command without limiting its parameters? For example something like: from="192.168.1.2",command="rsync *" | 20:19 |
| Steve_McQuack | this isn't going to be my main partition | 20:19 |

| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: looking now | 20:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: what version of ubuntu is this? | 20:25 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: Once you've got an installed system - or from the LiveISO - make sure package "smartmontools" is installed, and then do "sudo smartctl -i /dev/sdc" (replace sdc with the current device node for that drive if it has changed). That will reveal the drive's internal state and any error log (assuming SMART is enabled in the drive) | 20:25 |
| Steve_McQuack | You know what, I think I remember needing to disconnect my storage drive last time I tried this 6 months ago | 20:25 |
| gunna_88 | 12.10 | 20:26 |

| TJ- | gibbs: Yes, it is. You define restrictions in the ssh server user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys entry for the SSH client. See "man authorized_keys" and the section "AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT" and sub-section on the "command" option | 20:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: can you try: sudo modprobe -rfv ath9k && sudo modprobe -v ath9k nohwcrypt=1 | 20:29 |
| Subroutine | i've asked this earlier, but didt get any help. i've upgraded Lubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 and I have following problem: | 20:29 |
| Free99 | Does anyone have a solution for sending an email to multiple addresses without the complexity/attack surface of exim or sendmail? | 20:30 |
| Subroutine | my original /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart was cleaned, but even i add any commands into it, it doesnt run automatically on startup. i've used ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart instead, but where can i put startup commands for all users? | 20:30 |
| gibbs | TJ-: thanks | 20:30 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO of course, may take a while to get it right :) | 20:30 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO actually, I'll copy it to the usb and switch back | 20:31 |
| TJ- | Free99: "telnet mail-server.domain.tld 25" ? | 20:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: if that works then we'll need to make some changes to make it permanent | 20:31 |
| Free99 | TJ-, thanks but.. was hoping to just make something in /etc/aliases or something for distribution | 20:32 |
| Free99 | I mean I don't really know tbh, I'm used to using ssmtp for when it's just one user (me) who needs notification | 20:32 |
| TJ- | Free99: what's the objection to sendmail/postfix? | 20:33 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO interesting "FATAL: Module ath9k not found" | 20:34 |
| Free99 | TJ-, setuid binaries and plus this is on a VM host, trying to keep it light and tight | 20:35 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO there were some WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf line 44: ignoring bad line starting with 'd-4' but alsa is for sound, right? | 20:35 |

| roothorick | can Ubuntu do secure boot yet? | 20:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | roothorick: since 12.04 | 20:42 |
| TJ- | gunna_88: "find /lib/modules`uname -r` -type f -iname 'ath*' | pastebinit" | 20:42 |
| roothorick | hitsujiTMO: I know 12.04 can do UEFI but I don't know about secure boot... | 20:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | roothorick: it should have a shim for secure boot | 20:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: TJ-: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -type f -iname 'ath*' > ~/output.txt | 20:43 |
| roothorick | a "shim"? | 20:43 |
| TJ- | hitsujiTMO: hahaha yes... pastebinit isn't much help is it? :p | 20:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | TJ-: and you missed a / :P | 20:44 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO and TJ file or directory does not exist (my translation from swedish) | 20:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | roothorick: a bootstrap shim signed by microsoft | 20:45 |
| roothorick | doesn't that kinda... defeat the point? | 20:45 |
| roothorick | I guess I'll run UEFI w/o secure boot then | 20:45 |
| gunna_88 | TJ- i tried again, there was a / missing in there | 20:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: dpkg --get-selections | grep firmware > ~/output.txt | 20:45 |

| * TJ- thinks his dinner was laced with something strong | 20:49 | |
| Lucan | Oh yeah? | 20:49 |
| Lucan | What is it | 20:49 |
| Lucan | Feeling woozy, yet? | 20:50 |
| roothorick | hitsujiTMO: so if the system is EFI capable, the target disk is already set up with GPT, and it's a 64bit live installer, it'll automatically set up as UEFI, right? | 20:50 |
| roothorick | oh, it's win8 style | 20:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | roothorick: as long as your booting the installer as uefi. | 20:51 |
| roothorick | the live environment needs to run under UEFI | 20:51 |
| roothorick | just like win7/8 | 20:51 |
| roothorick | I *think* it did... | 20:51 |
| roothorick | honestly this laptop is so new it may not have legacy/MBR support | 20:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | roothorick: yes, usually the boot manager gives you an option of uefi or bios | 20:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | roothorick: i've yet to see a system that doesn't have some sort of legacy boot | 20:52 |
| === afdal is now known as Steve_McQuack | ||
| roothorick | This is my first time handpicking a system specifically to run Linux and so far I'm very pleased with the results | 20:53 |
| Steve_McQuack | Hello, how can I force GRUB to install on a fakeraid partition? | 20:53 |
| Steve_McQuack | The installer kept failing but I've managed to boot this xubuntu install via Super GRUB2 Disk | 20:53 |
| === ismail is now known as Guest31792 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | roothorick: you could install efibootmgr on the live cd and run it with sudo so see if it can read the info from the efi boot manager | 20:54 |
| PatrickDickey | roothorick: what brand of system is it? | 20:54 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO my .deb foo is rusty.. package central opened the file, and "install" is disabled. "An older version is available ..." | 20:54 |
| roothorick | PatrickDickey: Lenovo. It's the only manuf I've found that actually lists specific models for their WiFi | 20:54 |
| Ackis | the openvas package in ubuntu is outdated by a couple versions correct? (I've been looking for an updated package) | 20:54 |
| Paolon | ciao | 20:55 |
| roothorick | (and even then, only on certain systems, mostly just ThinkPads which is what I bought) | 20:55 |

| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: copy it to the system and: sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 20:55 |
| roothorick | It came with Win8 Pro but I swapped out the drive for an SSD | 20:55 |
| PatrickDickey | In BIOS, you might have something called "CSM" That's the legacy mode. I know in my Toshiba, it's under System Configuration, but not in the same area as the Secure Boot settings. | 20:55 |
| roothorick | PatrickDickey: honestly I'd rather run in UEFI | 20:56 |
| roothorick | it's time we killed the MBR | 20:56 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO great | 20:56 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: ensure that "dmraid" module is in the initrd.img and that the fstab refers to the file-system containing /boot/ by its UUID, or DM (device mapper) name. | 20:56 |
| gunna_88 | ok, I | 20:56 |
| roothorick | proper secure boot would be nice but I know that's not really doable | 20:56 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO ok, I tried again the commands above? | 20:56 |
| PatrickDickey | roothorick: Well, if it will boot and install, then go with UEFI. I ended up having to install the Alpha for Trusty on mine. | 20:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: start with: sudo modprobe ath9k | 20:57 |
| genii | Steve_McQuack: eg: put the raid module names in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and sudo update-initramfs -u | 20:57 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO sorry, not found | 20:58 |
| roothorick | PatrickDickey: that's actually what I'm installing now. I'd like that it's a bleeding edge alpha now but will become an LTS | 20:58 |
| TJ- | roothorick: PatrickDickey lost his connection | 20:59 |
| roothorick | oh oops | 20:59 |
| roothorick | oh well | 20:59 |
| Steve_McQuack | That's a lot of lingo @_@ | 20:59 |
| Steve_McQuack | How do I do all that TJ-? | 20:59 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -type f -iname 'ath*' returns empty | 20:59 |
| TJ- | roothorick: You might want to join #ubuntu+1 ... we've been discussing an apparent bug in the UEFI installer of 14.04 that results in no UEFI boot menu entry being added :) | 20:59 |
| roothorick | hm... "Intel AT Module" | 20:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: sudo find / -name ath9k* > ~/ath9k.txt | 21:00 |
| roothorick | I wonder what kind of OS-level support that requires | 21:00 |
| mtnbkr | I asked earlier but did not receive a reply, just re-asking (busy, scrolling channel too :) | 21:00 |
| mtnbkr | Hi Ubuntu people! Gentoo person here. :) is there a unbuntu tool to have it check its installed packages against a known-vulnerable list of packages and email a report? | 21:00 |
| bhut | greetings | 21:01 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO found them in /lib/modules/3.2.0-53-generic and 3.5.0-40-generic | 21:01 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: When the system has fakeraid the individual devices are still seen by the kernel. The dmraid driver then creates a device-mapper node for the drives/partitions based on the fakeraid meta-data on the disks. So lets say you have /dev/sda and /devsdb which makeup /dev/mapper/fakeraid1, you have to ensure that GRUB and the file-system table (/etc/fstab) uses /dev/mapper/fakeraid1's identity | 21:01 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO I guess that another kernel is installed and should have been loaded? | 21:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: seems it built for your previous kernel but not current. odd | 21:02 |
| roothorick | oh joy. This BIOS has the Computrace rootkit. At least I can turn it off. | 21:02 |
| Steve_McQuack | Okay but what do I do exactly? | 21:02 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO so, I looked for /boot/initrd.img-3* and the corresponding versions are there | 21:03 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO maybe a kernel upgrade failed? | 21:03 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: At install time, you make sure you tell the installer to use the /dev/mapper/ node of the fakeraid. If you don't see it, that means the driver isn't loaded that supports that fakeraid and you'll need to manually load it | 21:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: you're on 41 so it shouldn't have failed | 21:04 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: It is such a long time since I had to work with fakeraid and an installer I can't tell you the precise steps needed now. | 21:04 |
| Steve_McQuack | Yeah I did that TJ-, GRUB just fails to install anyway though | 21:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: unless you're missing the headers maybe | 21:05 |
| oxmox | hi i have a problem with ahci. hdparm -B says APM_level not supportet pc is an i3 on an asrock bord intel b75 chipset | 21:05 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: In the installer, at the stage where you can set the grub options, do you select the fakeraid device node ? | 21:05 |
| Steve_McQuack | yes | 21:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: try: dpkg --get-selections | grep `uname -r` | 21:06 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO I checked /usr/src | 21:06 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO I checked /usr/src and headers are there for 3.5.0-40 and 3.5.0-40-generic | 21:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: but not 41? | 21:06 |

| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: sudo dpkg -i * should be good | 21:17 |

| Steve_McQuack | since it didn't have a working GRUB of its own | 21:17 |

| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: oh dear... not a good state. How is that device partitioned? Can you do "fdisk -l /dev/mapper/<fakeraid> | pastebinit" ? | 21:23 |
| A_P00r_Student | Um, hello everyone - I was wondering if anyone could tell me why gcc my not be able to look at usr/include for the std libraries for c...? | 21:23 |
| A_P00r_Student | *may | 21:23 |
| Steve_McQuack | Cannot open /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb2 | 21:24 |
| Steve_McQuack | :/ | 21:24 |
| stetho | [1]elliot: I can't see how. There's 3531 open files and I can't see anything in man lsof that allows me to filter them in a useful way. | 21:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | A_P00r_Student: ##c might be a better channel for that question | 21:24 |
| bekks | Steve_McQuack: Looks like you are using a fakeraid on a Nvidia chipset. | 21:24 |
| Steve_McQuack | nvidia_aeedagcb2 being the linux partition I want GRUB installed to | 21:24 |
| Guest42784 | How can I get the time that my cron.daily files will run? | 21:24 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: Aha! I think you're addressing the partition #2 not the base drive... Is there not a device mapper node without a numeric suffix which would represent the entire RAID device | 21:25 |
| Pici | Guest42784: Check /etc/crontab | 21:25 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: grub is installed to the drive's MBR, not into a partition, usually | 21:25 |
| Steve_McQuack | I want it on the partition, not the MBR actually, specifically | 21:25 |
| A_P00r_Student | thank you hitsujiTMO | 21:25 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: So what is acting as the primary boot-loader then? | 21:26 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO ok | 21:26 |
| Guest42784 | Pici: bash: cd: /etc/crontab: Not a directory | 21:26 |
| Steve_McQuack | Windows NT loader | 21:26 |
| Steve_McQuack | I'm chain loading GRUB with it | 21:26 |
| Pici | Guest42784: its a file, not a directory. | 21:26 |
| Guest42784 | oh XD | 21:26 |
| Steve_McQuack | if I can get GRUB working first of course | 21:26 |
| lukecarrier | Guest42784, less /etc/crontab | 21:26 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: OK ... well, I've not needed to do that before, its a pretty esoteric configuration. You'd be better off asking the grub people about it, or searching online for articles | 21:27 |
| Steve_McQuack | Yeah I know how it works | 21:27 |
| Steve_McQuack | I just need to get GRUB actually installed | 21:27 |
| Steve_McQuack | then I can work from there | 21:27 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: Well ask the grub people. You've got the grub-install message about blocklists to start from | 21:27 |
| Guest42784 | 25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) ?? | 21:27 |
| Steve_McQuack | okay, thanks for the help | 21:27 |
| Guest42784 | Does that say when it will run? | 21:27 |
| Steve_McQuack | Is #grub a good place to ask? | 21:28 |
| lukecarrier | Guest42784, min, hour, dom, mon, dow | 21:28 |
| lukecarrier | Guest42784, minute, hours, day of month, month, day of week | 21:28 |
| Guest42784 | lukecarrier: thank you. So 25 minutes past 6? | 21:28 |
| TJ- | Steve_McQuack: That, or the grub-users mailing list | 21:28 |
| lukecarrier | Guest42784, correct, every day as indicated by * in the other fields | 21:29 |
| jeffrey_f | FYI #grub | 21:29 |
| Steve_McQuack | I wonder how LILO's fakeraid detection is | 21:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: dd your current bootstrap (first 446 bytes) install grub to the mbr. dd that bootstrap to a file. dd the original bootstrap back in place. | 21:29 |
| Guest42784 | Now I'm worrying I don't cron ran today | 21:29 |
| Steve_McQuack | Last time I tried this GRUB was just awful at this | 21:29 |
| bekks | First 448 not 446 bytes. | 21:29 |
| Steve_McQuack | hitsujiTMO, Uhh, what's dd? -_- | 21:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | sorry yup 448 bytes. | 21:30 |
| spr-k3737 | Hi there, the integrity test on my thumb drive is failing, and the md5 on the source ISO passed. How do I check if my thumb drive is dead? | 21:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: dd is the disk destroyer. you can use it to read or write directly to a block device, but any typos or mistakes can lead to accidentally breaking the entire system | 21:31 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO hmm, dpkg -i * completed with the same message "Error with linux-headers-generic and linux-headers-3.5.0-45-generic | 21:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: whats the full error? | 21:31 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO just the error or the whole install message? | 21:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: pastebin everything | 21:32 |
| Steve_McQuack | Well, I guess I could try what you stated | 21:32 |
| Steve_McQuack | I can always repair my MBR with Windows install disc | 21:32 |
| Steve_McQuack | How do I do all that hitsujiTMO | 21:33 |

| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: be causeful to not make any typos | 21:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | careful* | 21:35 |
| Steve_McQuack | Then do sudo grub-install dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb ? | 21:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: yup | 21:36 |
| Steve_McQuack | Where is that other file being copied to | 21:36 |

| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: and then return the windows mbr: sudo dd if=~/ubuntu.mbr of=/dev/mapper/<fakeraid> bs=448 count=1 | 21:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: thats being put to your $HOME | 21:38 |
| Steve_McQuack | All right, I'm just gonna copypaste what you've typed | 21:38 |
| Steve_McQuack | If I hadn't just backed up my Windows partition I wouldn't do this | 21:38 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO I'm sure this is wrong, https://gist.github.com/gunnarahlberg/8445204 | 21:38 |
| Steve_McQuack | well I guess I'll have to change the dev/mapper/ bit | 21:39 |
| Steve_McQuack | hitsujiTMO, sudo dd if=/dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb bs=448 count=1 > ~/win.mbr or sudo dd if=/dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb1 bs=448 count=1 > ~/win.mbr ? | 21:40 |
| Steve_McQuack | nvidia_aeedagcb is the overall RAID array, nvidia_aeedagcb1 is the first partition | 21:40 |

| mimrock | Hi, Is this a place where I can ask about the installation of a python package on ubuntu? | 21:43 |
| Pici | mimrock: sure | 21:43 |
| Domaldel | Howdy folks =) | 21:44 |
| Domaldel | Anyone familiar with problems with OpenGL? | 21:44 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO seems like I've missunderstood you, the list of .deb files are conflicting, right? | 21:44 |
| Steve_McQuack | hitsujiTMO, Okay, so you're sure sudo dd if=~/ubuntu.mbr of=/dev/mapper/<fakeraid> bs=448 count=1 brought back my Windows MBR now? | 21:45 |
| mimrock | I'm using ubuntu 12.10. I installed rpy2 package. This is a python package that integrates python with R. My issue is that only python2 can recognize the package. Python3.2 and python3.3 cannot. I installed all python versions from repository | 21:45 |
| Steve_McQuack | GRUB seems to have installed correctly | 21:45 |
| Steve_McQuack | so now I have it as home/ubuntu.mbr? | 21:45 |
| bgardner | mimrock: How did you install rpy2? | 21:45 |
| mimrock | from repository | 21:46 |
| bgardner | mimrock: Specifically, what command? | 21:46 |
| mimrock | Using synaptic | 21:46 |
| mimrock | that means apt-get install, I guess | 21:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: yup it should have. you can then put ubuntu.mbr into your windows boot partition and boot to that | 21:46 |
| Steve_McQuack | hitsujiTMO, Or perhaps you meant to say finish with sudo dd if=~/win.mbr of=/dev/mapper/<fakeraid> bs=448 count=1 ? | 21:46 |
| Steve_McQuack | That other commands looks like it read to copy the grub thing back to the mbr | 21:47 |
| fishcooker | is there any ftp app on linux that cover this ftp feature on http://www.smartftp.com/client/editions? | 21:47 |
| Steve_McQuack | command* | 21:47 |
| gunna_88 | hitsujiTMO ready? full log is in https://gist.github.com/gunnarahlberg/8445204 | 21:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | Steve_McQuack: sorry, yes sudo dd if=~/win.mbr of=/dev/mapper/<fakeraid> bs=448 count=1 | 21:47 |
| Steve_McQuack | okay, good thing I caught that :3 | 21:47 |
| bgardner | mimrock: Then it looks like you installed python-rpy2. One second. | 21:47 |
| Myrtti | fishcooker: covers which feature? | 21:47 |
| mimrock | bgardner: Yes, that's right VErsion 2.2.6-1 | 21:47 |
| mimrock | bgardner: import rpy2 works if I'm running the script with "python script.py" using python 2.7.3 but not with python3 or python3.3 (Hi, Is this a place where I can ask about the installation of a python package on ubuntu?) | 21:49 |
| mimrock | oh, sorry | 21:49 |
| bgardner | mimrock: That would be only the relevant files for python 2 - I'm not seeing a python3 version in the repositories. If I were you, I'd install it with 'pip3 install rpy2' | 21:49 |
| mimrock | bgardner: this is the error message: (No module named 'rpy2) | 21:49 |
| Steve_McQuack | All right, I'm gonna reboot to Windows now to make sure nothing's broken | 21:49 |
| mimrock | bgardner: I see, that makes sense. I'll try, thank you! | 21:50 |
| bgardner | mimrock: Certainly, good luck | 21:50 |

| Myrtti | fishcooker: no idea, I'd probably use command line and cron | 21:51 |
| skinux | Is it created a .desktop file and putting it with all the others under /usr/share? | 21:51 |

| Domaldel | And when I try to install 3D chess games that don't work either. | 22:07 |
| Domaldel | Nope, looked up the problem online and found a reference to bumblebee but got the impression that it was xbox related. | 22:08 |
| Domaldel | The other one I've never heard about. | 22:08 |
| k1l | Domaldel: you have a hybrid grafic. so eiter you disable one in the bios or you try bumblebee | 22:08 |

| Domaldel | Or something. | 22:08 |
| Domaldel | Ok, bumblebee? | 22:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | gunna_88: so what output are you getting from: sudo apt-get -f install | 22:09 |

| sudormrf | Hi guys. I am having difficulty setting up roundcube. I have installed postfix and courier and made some tweaks, but I just can't seem to get roundcube working. I can browse to the roundcube login page, but can't log in. I am sure I amm missing something in my config, I am just not sure what. | 22:42 |
| Ziluz | handlebar: now its installed, i can see backend, but should there be some wp sample site on my ip? http://146.185.180.113 | 22:42 |
| FrameFever | thx | 22:42 |
| Domaldel | Well, it looks like that step worked out allright thanks to your help hitsujiTMO =) | 22:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Domaldel: no problems | 22:43 |
| Domaldel | Unless there's something more I should do I'll just try to reboot like the guide suggests =) | 22:43 |
| handlebar | Ziluz: Standby | 22:43 |
| imlostbro | so i guess no one knows a fix for my problem. | 22:43 |
| jhutchins | sudormrf: There is #roundcube | 22:43 |
| Domaldel | See you all in a few ^^ | 22:43 |
| sudormrf | jhutchins, it's dead. I am in there. It has been dead all day | 22:43 |
| sudormrf | was hoping someone in here might be able to provide some insight | 22:44 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: Have you double-checked "config/db.inc.php" | 22:45 |
| Ziluz | handlebar: when i installed LAMP i just press OK OK, so i guess its sample left from installation ? | 22:46 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: Make sure the database connection string is correct: $rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = ... | 22:46 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, I was just looking at that right now. however db.inc.php says not to set $rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] from that file. | 22:47 |
| Domaldel | Hum | 22:47 |
| Gallomimia | i know when you install mysql by itself it demands you set a root password to begin. is it different in a LAMP package/ | 22:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | blz: its moving the mountpoint at /boot to /mnt so you can get access to /boot on / | 22:47 |
| Domaldel | Great, thanks for the help all =) | 22:47 |

| sudormrf | * Do not set db_dsnw here, use dpkg-reconfigure roundcube-core to configure database ! * | 22:47 |
| Domaldel | Managed to get steam working ^^ | 22:47 |

| blz | hitsujiTMO, you mean so that when it tries to create a /boot, the system doesn't complain that /boot already exists? | 22:47 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: Ahhh OK ... I use the latest upstream ... well, have you checked "/etc/default/roundcube" which is where I would guess the debian configuration is stored | 22:48 |
| Domaldel | Ah, time for a doggy walk. | 22:48 |
| Domaldel | Bye all =) | 22:48 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: And test manually you can connect to the database using the same credentials, using the db's client application | 22:48 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, I may have found something I missed. brb | 22:48 |
| blz | hitsujiTMO, to be honest, I don't really understand any of that last code block. I'm in a live environment, so perhaps it doesn't apply, though | 22:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | blz: its not creating a /boot its moving /boot from an external partition to the root partition | 22:49 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, the issue I am having is that I cannot log in. So I believe the issue is that the DB isn't connected. I could be wrong, but that would be my first thought. | 22:50 |
| imlostbro | I'm having trouble getting 'Details' to open in System Settings. Nothing pops up and when I go to Task Manager, I see gnome-control-center gradually hogging up ram. Does anyone know a fix? | 22:50 |
| sudormrf | I just tried dpkg-reconfigure roundcube-core and I didn't reinstall the roundcube DB (I wasn't sure if it was necessary, didn't think it would be as I haven't modified that DB). | 22:50 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: Yes... so manually test your database connection settings | 22:51 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, to do that I just go 'mysql -u username -p' correct? | 22:51 |
| blz | hitsujiTMO, sorry I'm still very much confused. Assuming I run these commands from a livecd, isn't / relative to the OS that's currently running (which is to say the Ubuntu on my USB drive)? If so, doesn't this move /boot to the USB drive's root partition? | 22:51 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, I am a n00b to sql. | 22:51 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: Yes, that looks correct | 22:51 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, in that case I am able to log in to the DB just fine | 22:52 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: the you'll need to do "use <database-name>;" | 22:52 |
| sudormrf | yep | 22:52 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: then "show tables;" | 22:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | blz: lvm will have /boot on an external partition. this is moving everthing from that external partition onto the main partition | 22:52 |
| ShooterMG | what do i need to do to give a user read-only access for a specific directory? (and containing subdirectories) | 22:52 |
| handlebar1 | Zuluz: Sorry lost connection, I hit your WP here: http://146.185.180.113/wp-login.php, can you login? | 22:53 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, yep | 22:53 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, I see the tables | 22:53 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: OK, so if that works, you need to check the users table to ensure your user is there | 22:53 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, sorry for the n00b question, but how do I check the contents of the table? | 22:53 |
| blz | hitsujiTMO, right, but since I'm running Ubuntu from a live CD in order to do this LVM -> RAID migration, doesn't that mean my "main partition" is actually that of the live CD? Ergo, don't these commands have to change somehow to reflect that? | 22:54 |
| blz | hitsujiTMO, or am I completely missing the point ? =) | 22:54 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: "select * from rc_users;" | 22:54 |
| ghs | for programmers, which is best ? gnome or kde ? | 22:54 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, ok, hang on. | 22:55 |
| k1l | ghs: doesnt matter | 22:55 |
| blz | hitsujiTMO, in few words, I'm concerned that if I run these commands, I'll move /boot to my live USB drive and not to the RAID5 array | 22:55 |
| k1l | ghs: choose what looks best to you. | 22:55 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: It'll be hard to read - each field is separate by the virtual bar character | 22:55 |
| handlebar1 | Ziluz: Sorry lost connection, I hit your WP here: http://146.185.180.113/wp-login.php, can you login? | 22:55 |
| ghs | k1l, I'm thinking in to install the kubuntu, but the support is same than Ubuntu default ? | 22:56 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, no worries. I have phpmyadmin installed if that would make this easier | 22:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | blz: yes you will have to mount what ever partitions that pertains to /boot and / and substitute the corrent mountpoints and paths | 22:56 |
| Ziluz | handlebar1 i am in | 22:56 |
| rcrobot_ | Hi there. I'm having some trouble with flash for Chrome. I've tried using adobe flash, the built-in pepperflash, and gnash, and none seem to work for more than 10-15 minutes before crashing. Any ideas how to fix this? | 22:57 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, ok I am confused lol. hang on, let me try with another user | 22:57 |
| k1l | ghs: the non lts have 9 month which is the same for all derivates | 22:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | blz: i'm sure it will actually fail in a horrible mess rather than messing up the raid since its not mounted as / | 22:57 |
| k1l | ghs: for LTS im not sure but i think kubuntu goes with the 5 year lts support | 22:57 |
| blz | hitsujiTMO, ok, then this makes some sense =) So basically something like `mount --move /media/myuser/boot /media/myuser/myraidarrayboot/`?` | 22:57 |
| blz | hitsujiTMO, that's reassuring =) | 22:57 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, OK. I think the issue is that a user doesn't exist, even though I could swear I created one. So now another n00b question. how can I create a user and add them into that table? | 22:58 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: Have you checked the log-files to see if authentication is failing? | 22:58 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, it is. | 22:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | blz: you dont actually need to move the boot partition mount point as its not mounted relative to the root in your case. | 22:59 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: The user's are the system's users.... roundcube connects to an IMAP4 mail server... I use dovecot ... so dovecot does the user account handling. | 22:59 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, I think this is where I am confused | 23:00 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: So I'd guess the user doesn't exist as a POSIX account on there | 23:00 |
| sudormrf | I have a db called 'maildb' that I created. roundcube also created a db | 23:00 |
| sudormrf | both of these dbs have a users table in them | 23:00 |
| sudormrf | but both of the user tables are blank | 23:00 |
| Kireji_ | how can I use apt-get or something similar on the command line to get the number of packages that need to be upgraded? | 23:00 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, how can I rectify? | 23:00 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: roundcube > php > IMAP4 (e.g. dovecot) > /home/$USER/Maildir/ | 23:01 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, let me have a look | 23:01 |
| blz | hitsujiTMO, So wait, what exactly do I need to do in order to boot from a RAID5 array -- create a /boot partition on each drive in the array and cp -a the old /boot to there? | 23:01 |
| * blz is so confused... | 23:01 | |
| TJ- | sudormrf: See http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Config | 23:02 |
| Kireji_ | eg http://askubuntu.com/questions/269606/apt-get-count-the-number-of-updates-available | 23:02 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, I am using courier instead of dovecot. am I understanding correctly that courier is what would be handling the accounts and roundcube is just there for user accounts created for courier to see their email via webmail? | 23:02 |
| sudormrf | checking | 23:03 |

| Darkangel | how does 1 donate a server to Linux people? | 23:03 |

If the local config file doesn't already contain one of the listed options simply copy it from the config/defaults.inc.php file" no defaults.inc.php file exists anywhere. this has been the problem with documentation I have seen across the net is they all reference files that don't exist in my case. | 23:04 |

My ISP recently changed the rules and now all modems are locked, that is I can not input my info in its settings as before, which means each device connected at the same time has to have its own username and pass. | 23:23 |
| ljetibo | In Win7 I now connect to wlan first, and then to a broadband connection again later (see: https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/261x330q90/842/fmb8.png and https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/350x364q50/713/t5c1.png). I have tried to achieve the same thing in ubunutu, | 23:23 |
| ljetibo | but I can only connect if I have a cable plugged in, I looked around and oppened a dsl connection in the Network connections tab and clicked on connect automatically but to no avail. Can anyone help? I can give more info, but keep in mind that I have to restart everytime, so ask for everything you can think of at once. | 23:23 |

| Mindkontrol | Hello all | 23:26 |
| dmacedo | hey | 23:27 |
| Mindkontrol | Anyone know a lot about using ssh through a vpn? | 23:27 |
| dmacedo | that's a complex question, what type of VPN, any IP conflicts, etc... | 23:27 |
| Mindkontrol | I am not able to ssh into my machine while it is active on vpn client | 23:27 |
| dmacedo | check your routing | 23:27 |
| Mindkontrol | I can ssh into the box fine both locally and externally when it is not connected to the vpn | 23:28 |
| Shotz | I've got 2 Monitors plugged into my GPU (nVidia 760) and one plugged into the VGA of my Mobo, how can I get all 3 monitors working? | 23:29 |
| TJ- | Mindkontrol: Are you trying to ssh to the public IP of the remote system, or it's private VPN IP? | 23:29 |
| Shotz | Right now the Mobo one is frozen with the xubuntu loading screen and isn't detected at all | 23:30 |
| Shotz | The intergrated GPU is Intel | 23:30 |
| dmacedo | Mindkontrol, when you connect to the VPN your routing changes! double check it | 23:30 |
| TJ- | Shotz: You'd need to run multiple X sessions I think, since there are 2 GPUs and 2 different drivers | 23:31 |
| Mindkontrol | TJ-: Well, I am not sure exactly I guess. | 23:31 |
| Shotz | Oh, so I can't do extended display then? | 23:31 |
| Mindkontrol | I have gone to whatismyip and tried to connect to the ip given there | 23:31 |
| Ben64 | Shotz: why not run all 3 from the nvidia? | 23:31 |
| Mindkontrol | i have tried to connect to the tun ip from ifconfig | 23:31 |
| === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado | ||
| Shotz | Because my card doesn't have a VGA port | 23:31 |
| TJ- | Shotz: if all the GPUS were controlled by the same driver, maybe | 23:31 |
| Shotz | and my mobo does | 23:31 |
| Shotz | this sort of thing works in windows fine | 23:31 |
| Ben64 | Shotz: you know, they make dvi->vga | 23:32 |
| Shotz | Yeah | 23:32 |
| Shotz | I know | 23:32 |
| Shotz | I'm already doing that | 23:32 |
| FloodBot1 | Shotz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:32 |
| Shotz | With one monitor | 23:32 |
| Shotz | But from the reviews on DVI-D to VGA on some of these things sucks | 23:32 |
| Shotz | And If I can just use my Mobo | 23:32 |
| Shotz | I'd rather do that | 23:32 |
| FloodBot1 | Shotz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:32 |
| Gallomimia | . | 23:32 |
| TJ- | Shotz: which model is the nvidia card? | 23:33 |
| Mindkontrol | TJ-: What IP should i be trying to connect to while vpn is active/ | 23:36 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, any suggestions? | 23:36 |
| TJ- | Mindkontrol: I have no idea! It's your network! | 23:36 |
| Gallomimia | Mindkontrol: what connection do you want? | 23:37 |
| === soahccc_ is now known as soahccc | ||
| TJ- | sudormrf: I think I must have missed your previous messages, can you repeat? | 23:37 |
| Mindkontrol | Gallomimia: I am trying to get ssh into a machine that is running a vpn client | 23:37 |
| Gallomimia | from where/ | 23:37 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, this is a completely virtual setup where I am just trying to get a test run going. there would be no domain name associated with the mail setup so I don't know if that is a problem or not. | 23:38 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, why not continue using the normal IP you use to ssh in to the box? | 23:38 |
| mojzesz | hello | 23:39 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: It shouldn't be unless you've configured roundcube that way. Like I said, for log-in to work the system must have the user account credentials you are using, and courier must be trying to authenticate against the system. Otherwise, courier must be operating its own user database. I dropped Courier a few years ago so can't recall how it is configured | 23:39 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, would you say that dovecot is better than courier? | 23:40 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: when i try that the ssh client just hangs | 23:40 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, I am a bit confused. Is the VPN that you are connecting to something that connects you to the internal network where said box exists or is it just some random VPN? | 23:40 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: I can't say because I've not used Courier recently. I switched due to frustration with Courier, though. | 23:40 |
| mojzesz | i have problem with ubunttu 10 after installation i can't launch gnome every time when i try to do it my monitor shows me OUT OF FREQUENCY | 23:40 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, OK. I will try it with dovecot. That is why I am doing this dry run :D | 23:41 |
| sudormrf | let me nuke the server and start over. | 23:41 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: huh? why not just remove Courier and install dovecot? | 23:41 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: Its a torrent box that runs a commercial vpn client, i want to be able to ssh into that box while i am elsewhere | 23:41 |
| Gallomimia | Mindkontrol: i've had this trouble before. it sounds like your ifconfig on the box is set to only bind to the external IP of the vpn | 23:41 |
| Gallomimia | if you want to do it from outside your network....ssh to the vpn ip | 23:41 |
| Mindkontrol | Gallomimia: So, when i try that it tells me my username/pass is wrong, and that i dont have a key selected, however I am not trying to use a key at this point | 23:43 |
| Mindkontrol | Gallomimia: I know my username and pass is not wrong | 23:43 |
| Gallomimia | sounds like you're connecting to the wrong machine :/ | 23:43 |
| Beldar | mojzesz, ubuntu 10? no ubuntu with a desktop is supported up to 12.04 | 23:43 |
| Gallomimia | commercial vpn client :( use a foss one | 23:43 |
| Mindkontrol | Gallomimia: foss? | 23:43 |
| Gallomimia | you're in the ubuntu channel and don't know what foss means? | 23:44 |
| Gallomimia | !foss | Mindkontrol | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Mindkontrol: FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software. See !freedom for more info. | 23:44 |
| mojzesz | Beldar exactly it's backtrack 5 which cannot start graphic mode | 23:44 |
| mojzesz | when i type start x i have out of frequency | 23:44 |
| somsip | !backtrack | mojzesz | 23:44 |
| ubottu | mojzesz: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (now end of life - see kali-linux) | 23:44 |
| Gallomimia | why are you using ubuntu then? | 23:44 |
| Beldar | mojzesz, backtrack is not supported here, and is end of life. | 23:44 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, er? so you are vpning into the box and then trying to ssh in to it? Am I understanding that correctly? | 23:45 |
| Mindkontrol | Gallomimia: Well, my apologies. Apparently I can only use Ubuntu if i was born with all the knowledge about it and its community beforehand | 23:45 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, ok. I will go that way | 23:45 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: I have the box running vpn client, then i am using a computer at another locaiton to attempt to ssh into the machine that is hidden behind the vpn | 23:45 |
| Gallomimia | it's a really important concept i believe. i get a little annoyed when it's not well embraced or known. sorry | 23:46 |
| sudormrf | I was just trying to keep the setup as being something like how it would be when I deploy. | 23:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: on the other end of the vpn, what kind of setup is it? is it a bridge connect or behind a nat? | 23:46 |
| Gallomimia | let's talk about what type of VPN you're using. and yes, what kind of network are you on | 23:46 |
| Mindkontrol | Gallomimia: I am here because I want to embrace these very ideals. | 23:46 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, so you are able to SSH in to the public IP when not connected to VPN, but once you connect to VPN you cannot ssh in to the box? | 23:46 |
| TJ- | sudormrf: If you use "apt-get purge courier-imap" (or whatever the package is called) and then "apt-get install dovecot" you should be fine | 23:46 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: Yes! | 23:46 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, ok. gimme a few. | 23:47 |
| mojzesz | Beldar ok so otherwise question how set default resolution in ubuntu to supported b monitor "1024x768 didn't work after add Modes entry in xorg.conf | 23:47 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, and when you ssh in to the box without being connected to the VPN you are using the public IP of the box, correcT? | 23:47 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: Yes | 23:47 |
| TJ- | Mindkontrol: That sounds like the VPN has set your local system's default route to go through the VPN ... when the VPN is up can you access other sites still, such as web-browsing to google.com ? | 23:47 |
| Mindkontrol | TJ-: The VPN works fine from the machine running the client, i can reach website and what not fine | 23:48 |
| Gallomimia | ask google what your ip is on that machine | 23:48 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, and which IP are you using once you VPN in to the box for SSH? | 23:48 |
| Beldar | mojzesz, You wont get help here, just a heads up is all. | 23:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: have you access to the machine with the vpn client now? | 23:48 |
| === gillian is now known as Guest98301 | ||
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: I initially just tried the public ip, but it didnt work, so then i used whatismyip.com to find my ip through the vpn and that gives me authentication error nd says i have no key set, now i am not setup to use keys | 23:49 |
| Mindkontrol | I am on the machine with the vpn client running now | 23:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: can you pastebin the output of: ifconfig | 23:49 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, you realize that whatismyip.com is giving you a public IP address right? | 23:50 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, what operating system is the box you are trying to ssh in to running? | 23:50 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: I am no expert. I was merely trying different things to troubleshoot | 23:50 |
| Gallomimia | holy crap guys give him some time to fiddle with all this stuff | 23:50 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, and that's fine. that's how we learn :D | 23:50 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: What ip should i be sshing to once the machine is behind the vpn? | 23:51 |
| sudormrf | Gallomimia, he is getting help. that is a good thing! :D | 23:51 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, first, what OS is the box running? is it a linux OS? Unix? windows? | 23:51 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: Linux | 23:51 |
| gillian_ | hey | 23:51 |
| jay_m | hey all | 23:51 |
| jay_m | hi gillian_ | 23:51 |
| jay_m | ;) | 23:51 |
| jay_m | :) | 23:51 |
| FloodBot1 | jay_m: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:51 |
| Mindkontrol | hello | 23:51 |
| === patterson_ is now known as mecanico_virtual | ||
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, so first disconnect from the VPN, ssh in to the box and do an ifconfig. find out the internal ip address of it | 23:51 |
| jay_m | Greetings Mindkontrol | 23:51 |
| sudormrf | it's likely there is some sort of NAT going on. | 23:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | no. dont disconnect before doing a ifconfig | 23:52 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, listen to hitsujiTMO | 23:52 |
| gillian_ | Anyone know how to add a FTP server into my explorer? | 23:52 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: I have a router setup as well | 23:52 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, at this point we are looking at the remote end, not the local end. | 23:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: pastebin the output of: ifconfig so we can try and get a glimpse of what the vpn client is doing | 23:53 |
| Anton__ | Hey guys, I have a VPN on my VPS but when I connect to my VPN I can no longer connect to the VPS since it has a different IP. How do I fix this? | 23:53 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, the remote internal IP should be 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x or 172.16-31.x.x. once you are VPN'd in you should try to connect using that IP with ssh and let us know the results. | 23:54 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, also, like hitsujiTMO said. pastebin the results of ifconfig. you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com to pastebin it. | 23:55 |
| === onder`_ is now known as onder` | ||
| Steakumz | Good evening guys! | 23:56 |
| Steakumz | Is there anyone who could answer a MAME question by chance? | 23:56 |
| Anton__ | I have a VPN on my VPS but when I connect to my VPN on my VPS, I get disconnected since it has a different IP. Some guy told me to set a static route to my home IP through the default gateway but I don't know how to do that. How do I fix this? | 23:56 |
| === mecanico_virtual is now known as virtual_maintena | ||
| FireStorms | On a web developer machine where would be a wise choice to store web project files. I understand /var/www/ tend to be the default. But this is out of the scope of my backup utility. Would it hard to use a directory like /home/user/www/ ? | 23:57 |
| FireStorms | would it harm* | 23:57 |
| Mindkontrol | http://pastebin.com/Wwi6wUN0 | 23:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | FireStorms: /home/www is would even be ok | 23:57 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, once you have vpn'd in try connecting to 192.168.1.5 via ssh and let us know the result | 23:58 |
| Mindkontrol | i can connect internally ok | 23:58 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: That works fien | 23:59 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: just not externally | 23:59 |
| FireStorms | What is the purpose of /home/user/public/ directory? | 23:59 |
| TJ- | FireStorms: default location for user web files is ~/public_html/ | 23:59 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, OK, so wait. you cannot connect to it via ssh on the public IP of the remote server when not connected to VPN? | 23:59 |
