| sudormrf | ok hold on. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: your vpn is behind a NAT ( as we can see from the private ip address its given ) so you will not be able to ssh to it via the external ip that the vpn connects to | 00:00 |
| dcplaya_ | ghost dcplaya | 00:00 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: when the vpn is connected i can connect to it fine both internally usin 192.168.1.5 and its external address | 00:00 |
| TJ- | FireStorms: if you then enable the apache2 "user_dir" module and restart the apache2 server it'll serve content from user's public_html/ directories via the URL http://localhost/~$USER/ | 00:00 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, ok. hang on. | 00:00 |

| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, what? | 00:01 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, are you sure you are using the right IP? | 00:01 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: That was awful, When the vpn is NOT CONNECTED I CAN CONNECT TO IT FINE, When it IS connectd i CAN NOT CONNECT EXTERNALLY but i can connect INTERNALLY | 00:01 |
| Domaldel | Bye all =) | 00:01 |
| ChibaPet | Steakumz: For lack of a better answer, does it accept slash commands, like /list ? If so, there's an answer. | 00:01 |
| Steakumz | bye | 00:01 |
| TJ- | Mindkontrol: "ip route ls | pastebinit" and show us | 00:02 |
| Steakumz | It'e weird but Empathy seems to have no start screen. | 00:02 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: What do i need to do to get ssh to work while i am using the vpn? | 00:02 |
| sulivan | to ouvindo um link park pra nostalgia | 00:02 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, ok. so you tried to SSH in to the 192.168 address when connected over VPN and you can't? | 00:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: a different provider | 00:02 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, LOL | 00:02 |
| FireStorms | TJ-, I see thank you. I'm using Nginx as a server which runs in a virtualbox which i connect to using ssh. So just a little confused with choosing dir locations :P | 00:03 |
| Steakumz | it just asks me what room I want to join, and I had to manually type #ubuntu | 00:03 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: So it is a result of the vpn method? | 00:03 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, please answer the question | 00:03 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: i can connect using 192.168.1.5 no problem either way | 00:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: you need to use a vpn that provides bridged networking, not NAT | 00:03 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, so what is the problem? | 00:03 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, I am confused. If you are on the VPN why do you want to connect to it using the public IP? | 00:03 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: it doesnt work | 00:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: hes vpn connects to a private address network, so its behind a nat | 00:04 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, maybe split horizon issues? | 00:04 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, what is your IP at home when you are behind your router? | 00:04 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, is it a 192.168 address? | 00:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: so when he ssh's to the external ip, its sshing to the vpn server rather than his manchine | 00:04 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, specifically, is it a 192.168.1.0/24 address? | 00:04 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, but he just said he can ssh in to the 192.168.1.5 address? | 00:05 |
| sudormrf | LOL I am confused. | 00:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: his ip is 10.236.1.6 <- private ip range | 00:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: he wants to ssh from out side the network | 00:05 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, so he CAN ssh in while he is over VPN, but he CAN'T ssh in if he is not connected to VPN. correct? | 00:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: eg, if hes at work/college he can ssh in and start some torrents downloading | 00:06 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: Boom that is what i want | 00:06 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, without being connected to VPN. right? | 00:06 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: I want the vpn active while i ssh in externally | 00:06 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, why? | 00:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: isp blocking torrents | 00:07 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: for what hitsu said, so i can manage my box remotely | 00:07 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, what you are saying is working and what you are saying you want are confusing because to me it sounds like things are working how they should be. | 00:07 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, that makes sense | 00:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: how much are you paying for the vpn? | 00:07 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: i paid 45$ for a yr | 00:08 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, couldn't he bridge the adapters and get it working? | 00:08 |

| 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? | 00:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: he needs a public ip from his vpn interface so he can ssh to it. the public ip that he gets is that of the vpn server | 00:09 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, would this work? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6759299/ | 00:10 |
| Mindkontrol | Yes | 00:10 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, meaning if he ran that on the remote end it should allow ICS between the interfaces. Or am I thinking about this wrong? | 00:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: see if they offer ips too. thats what you need. a bridged connection. otherwise look into getting a vps and setting up your own vpn server | 00:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: no that will only work for the vpn server, which he has no access to. thats the companies server | 00:11 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: thanks man! Now i at least have something to research further | 00:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: no problem | 00:12 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: since u know what i am going for, would you suggest a diferent setup in the future? | 00:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: i rent a dedicated server for that kind of stuff so i have full control of whats going on. A VPS would be the best then I could recommend. But may have issues finding one with the decent bandwidth thats not overly shared | 00:14 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: What kind of price range is that kind of setup? | 00:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | Anton__: "I get disconnected since it has a different IP" lets start here... disconnected from what exactly? | 00:14 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, ok I am lost. | 00:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: really depends on the company $5-$20/m seems average for a basic setup | 00:15 |
| === brown is now known as Guest79602 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: what company are you using atm? | 00:15 |
| gillian_ | WHy cant I see settings of my terminal? | 00:15 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: so your talking about something like a seedbox? I use privateinternetaccess.com | 00:16 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: signed up on a whim to try it out, price was np | 00:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: in a sense like a seedbox but a seed box usually has a specific setup. a vps should allow you install whatever services you want, such as webserver/vpn/etc | 00:17 |
| Beldar | gillian_, Are they in the top panel, in unity the top bar is there at times | 00:17 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: ok, i understand. ill look into that stuff! Thanks again | 00:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: seems they dont offer a briged connection at all | 00:18 |
| sudormrf | TJ-, are you still around? | 00:18 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: yeah, i figured i would look into something else when my yr was up. learn as much as i can until then | 00:19 |
| gillian_ | setTHe settingsbar in the terminal isnt there. Not sure how to make it appear. | 00:19 |
| Guest79602 | is there any assembly language channel on freenode? | 00:19 |
| Krenair | Hi, how do you take an exact copy of / (including everything under it)? | 00:19 |
| gillian_ | Using Mint if that helps anything. | 00:19 |
| Beldar | gillian_, Mint is not supported here is all. | 00:19 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, so the problem is his provider won't let him bridge the connection himself? | 00:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | !alis | Guest79602 | 00:19 |
| ubottu | Guest79602: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 00:19 |
| Krenair | Last time I tried it managed to end up with a destination file size much larger than the source (to the point where my new 2TB hard drive couldn't even store it) | 00:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: he doesn't have control of the pc at the other end. So he can't do it. | 00:20 |
| gillian_ | Oh okay. Isn;t there a general key combination to make the settingspanel appear? | 00:20 |
| Krenair | I'm trying to do this as a backup so I can upgrade to 13.10 | 00:20 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, I suppose I don't understand how he doesn't have control of it since he can ssh in and issue commands? | 00:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: he's not renting a machine, just the link | 00:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | sudormrf: no the ssh is to his own home server | 00:20 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, ooooohhhhhh | 00:20 |
| gillian_ | Nevermind I found it. | 00:21 |
| Beldar | gillian_, We can't support mint as we don't know what bis different in it, never seen a key combo for that. | 00:21 |
| jay_m | hi Krenair | 00:21 |
| Beldar | is* | 00:21 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, I totally read this whole thing as he was renting a VPS | 00:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: actually wait, have an idea | 00:21 |
| Mindkontrol | sudormrf: I can only ssh in when the machine is NOT connected to the vpn | 00:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: does your home router have nat forwarding? | 00:22 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, maybe backup first. | 00:23 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, what model is your home router? | 00:23 |
| Mindkontrol | NAT filtering Secured or Open | 00:23 |
| Mindkontrol | its a crappy netgear wireless wnr2k | 00:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: it should so then. is your home server setup with a static ip? | 00:24 |
| gillian_ | Thanks baldar. It was very easy anyway. Right Click -> Show Menubar. Lol. | 00:24 |
| gillian_ | I asked questions too soon. | 00:24 |
| Mindkontrol | hitsujiTMO: no, router assigns the ip | 00:24 |
| sudormrf | hitsujiTMO, you mean from his ISP or through the router? | 00:26 |
| sudormrf | Mindkontrol, if hitsujiTMO just means through the router it is easy enough to set the server IP to static. | 00:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: heres what you should do. set the server up with a static ip outside the dhcp range. then set up your router to forward a high port like 3422 to static.ip.of.server:22 .... then you could setup a dynamic dns server such as http://freedns.afraid.org/ to get a domain name attached to your home ip. then you can ssh to your home directly | 00:26 |
| Krenair | jay_m, ...? | 00:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | Mindkontrol: that way you can still use the vpn you're using | 00:28 |
| jay_m | oh sorry | 00:28 |

| BlueNeXuS | Hi all. I have a problem when booting up my Ubuntu. It is Ubuntu 13.04 running KDE Plasma. Every time I boot my system it gets stuck at for over 5 minutes. When it finally does boot I get this message: | 02:19 |
| BlueNeXuS | Missing dependency: System V IPC for python. Read documentation for installation instructions! After installation, restart KDE for changes to take effect! | 02:19 |
| BlueNeXuS | I've tried to read throught the documents but nothing really helped | 02:19 |
| Michael87 | Beldar, I'm begining to agree with you. I like the interface though. Its just a pain when all it wants to do is connect wirelessly. and it needs to be connected online. thats bull crap. just stuck with the ol copy and paste per usual | 02:20 |
| BlueNeXuS | I can click okay, and the error message goes away and it continues to boot just fine.. but waiting more than 5 minutes being stuck at the splash screen is becoming a real pain | 02:21 |
| Magiobiwan | Are people allowed to use colorful phrases here to relieve frustration? | 02:21 |

| TJ- | BlueNeXuS: and several other requirements; you'd best identify the Ubuntu packages that meet those requirements and install them too, if they're not already installed | 02:33 |
| Magiobiwan | How long does it usually take for the netinstall to get booted? | 02:33 |
| joolean | Beldar: What if I suspended the process but didn't shut the machine down | 02:33 |
| joolean | Beldar: Theoretically that might work | 02:33 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: That would depend alot on the bandwidth | 02:33 |
| BlueNeXuS | Thanks TJ,, that's exactly what i am trying to do though. | 02:34 |
| Beldar | joolean, Your risk I would not. | 02:34 |

| DrGrov | Hello | 02:49 |
| gmachine_24 | otherwise afk does it | 02:49 |
| DrGrov | Have 2 questions. Is ssh enabled by default in 13.10, running Xubuntu 64-bit? Second, is ufw just to set up with sudo ufw start? No need to alter rules? How is the default procedure on a client computer compared to a server regarding the use of a firewall? | 02:50 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: I appreciated it; I'd been helping sort the issue. A little flavour doesn't harm our support activities. | 02:50 |
| gmachine_24 | TJ maybe I'm just annoyed because no one ever seems to answer my queries. :-) And I help when I can. | 02:50 |
| TJ- | DrGrov: I don't think openssh-server is seeded to desktop installations | 02:50 |
| somsip | gmachine_24: state your problem again, and free ax-grinding services are availabel in #ubuntu-offtopic ;-) | 02:51 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: maybe :) ask away! | 02:51 |
| DrGrov | TJ-: Okay, nothing to lose then. Just thought if it was enabled by default. Thought to start a SSH server though for easy access later. | 02:51 |
| DrGrov | Do I really need to enabled ufw at all while running a regular desktop, not server? | 02:51 |
| TJ- | DrGrov: I seem to recall having to "apt-get install openssh-server" when I test desktop installs in VMs | 02:51 |
| apb1963 | Anyone know how I can downgrade Qt 4.8.2 to 4.8.1? | 02:52 |
| === root is now known as c0d3Bit | ||
| gmachine_24 | DrGrov, the openssh-server isn't installed but I believe the client is; although I could be wrong. I've been up to my elbows in configuring a server for the past week,... or so | 02:52 |
| somsip | DrGrov: you do need to install ssh servers. You don't need ufw if you are not running services and are behind a NAT unless you want to be ultra sure | 02:52 |
| somsip | apb1963: did you install from repo? | 02:52 |
| TJ- | DrGrov: Ubuntu has a no open ports by default policy so you'd only really need UFW if you a) install services that listen on interfaces other than localhost, and b) you connect directly to public networks (e.g. WiFi) | 02:53 |
| apb1963 | somsip: I installed many things from repo. | 02:53 |
| somsip | apb1963: ahem./ Did you install qt 4.82 from the repo... | 02:54 |
| apb1963 | somsip: Not specifically no. If you're asking what package I installed, that installed qt, I don't know. | 02:54 |
| DrGrov | Brb. the cat needs her playtime :*) | 02:54 |
| Magiobiwan | TJ-, back w/ Bacon, and it hasn't booted yet | 02:55 |
| Magiobiwan | Still stuck on the black screen | 02:55 |
| TJ- | apb1963: A better question might be, why do you need to downgrade? | 02:55 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: Here's why: http://pastebin.com/gYzz6kfh | 02:55 |
| Magiobiwan | I wonder... Does the minimal ISO include EFI support? | 02:55 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: Are you sure it isn't just a video driver issue... have you tried switching to another TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F1) ? | 02:55 |
| Magiobiwan | One moment | 02:55 |
| somsip | apb1963: then it may be safer not to mess with it. Something has installed that as a dependency, though it might be okay with a minor version lower. Normally you would remove, then install a lower version and pin it. But it sounds like this will impact on other installed packages for you so could be messy | 02:56 |
| TJ- | apb1963: So you have previously managed to install a newer version that isn't in the Ubuntu archive for 12.04 ? | 02:56 |
| gmachine_24 | I built a media server running Ubuntu 13.x 64-bit; simple machine, has onboard AMD Trinity (Radeon HD 7540D) video chip; I've used xrandr to set resolution 1280x1024 and 75 refresh .. I might be off a bit on the resolution, this is from memory my resolution might be a bit off | 02:58 |
| gmachine_24 | the point is the screen looks like ... well, not very well some times and I can't figure out the problem; I'm going to run it headless mostly, but I need to be able to see what I'm doing if/when I attach a monitor | 02:58 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: Is the display a CRT or TFT? | 02:58 |
| gmachine_24 | tft | 02:59 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: It would seem so....whatever package installed it didn't warn me that it was upgrading a critical component of my system, and that other software would no longer be supported and I shouldn't do it unless I no longer wanted to report bugs I might find, or get fixes for them. | 02:59 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: Usually you will do better at 60Hz with TFTs... no need for a higher refresh rate | 02:59 |
| somsip | apb1963: depends where the 'other software' was installed from. If that came from a repo, it shouldn't cause this error. If that is self-installed, then that's what you can get when you self-install | 02:59 |
| somsip | apb1963: what is it breaking anyway? And where did you install that from? | 03:00 |
| gmachine_24 | TJ, agreed. but it was at 60 and that was a real disaster. 75 is much better. but still there are some areas where colors switch around and backgrounds take over so I can't read anything | 03:00 |
| TJ- | apb1963: There is no way for package-management to install a newer version, unless you've made some very unsafe changes to the system, like mixing up releases in "/etc/apt/sources.list" or installing from a source-package outside of the package-management system | 03:00 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: Is the monitor able to report an EDID? | 03:01 |
| apb1963 | somsip: I don't know where it came from. I've installed dozens of packages. | 03:01 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: It sounds like you need the correct modeline | 03:01 |
| gmachine_24 | TJ, although I upped the resolution only after changing the refresh rate so I'm going to switch the refresh back to 60 and maybe that will do it. | 03:01 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: Are ppas outside of the package management system? | 03:01 |
| somsip | apb1963: do you ever install from non-repo sources? Is it possibly that's what's happened? | 03:01 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: If you can pastebin the output from "xrandr -q" that'd help us get an idea | 03:01 |
| Magiobiwan | ... SO booting a normal ISO works AOK | 03:02 |
| Magiobiwan | I bet it's a lack of EFI | 03:02 |
| apb1963 | somsip: are ppas considered non-repo sources? | 03:02 |
| TJ- | apb1963: Yes and No. Yes, because PPAs aren't approved, but No in the sense that when added as a source, apt knows how to get and install packages from them! | 03:02 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: Then my answer is Yes and No | 03:02 |
| somsip | apb1963: yes, they are | 03:02 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: Did you see the kernel messages as it started? | 03:03 |
| apb1963 | somsip: Then yes. | 03:03 |
| Magiobiwan | TJ-, just the loading linux, then loading initrd.gz | 03:03 |
| Magiobiwan | But after that finished, it went to an 800x600 black screen | 03:03 |
| TJ- | apb1963: OK, what you'll have to do is remove and purge the PPA. I stay away from that horror but there are others here who can give you the instructions on doing that | 03:03 |
| somsip | apb1963: then the maintainer of the PPA for the package that is affected has not created the package correctly. They are your point of support | 03:03 |
| somsip | !ppa | apb1963 (in case you want the link) | 03:04 |

| apb1963 | somsip: And if I knew which specific package did it, then I could certainly uninstall it. | 03:04 |
| ZenTech | Hello everyone :D | 03:05 |
| somsip | apb1963: So what is it you're wanting from us now? | 03:05 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: Hmmm.... try adding "nomodeset text" to the kernel command-line if it isn't there already | 03:05 |
| gmachine_24 | TJ, I do get a edid dump | 03:05 |
| gmachine_24 | *an | 03:05 |
| Magiobiwan | TJ-, the normal Ubuntu Server ISO is working right now for me | 03:05 |
| Magiobiwan | So I'm | 03:05 |
| apb1963 | somsip: Perhaps a way to determine which package(s) are dependent on qt 4.8.2 | 03:05 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: OK... you should look at the decoded values and compare them with the monitor specifications if you can find them with an Internet search | 03:05 |
| Magiobiwan | Sonuva... | 03:06 |
| somsip | apb1963: well I'm tired of your attitude. No more help from me. Good luck. | 03:06 |
| DrGrov | gmachine_24: Ok, that seems to be the case. Did not find any sshd_config file without having the openssh package installed. | 03:06 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: you were saying....? | 03:06 |
| apb1963 | attitude? The attitude of asking for help? | 03:06 |
| Magiobiwan | It reset again | 03:06 |
| Magiobiwan | I HATE IPMI | 03:06 |
| DrGrov | TJ-: It seems so yes. I have to get the openssh-server once I get some free time to set up my ssh server for outside purposes. | 03:07 |
| TJ- | !ppa-purge | apb1963 | 03:07 |
| ubottu | apb1963: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 03:07 |
| DrGrov | TJ-: I really do not need ufw enabled then since I do not use services that listen to other than localhost and not even that. I am quite sure I am behind a NAT through my router, or so it seems when looking into the specs of the router. | 03:08 |
| gmachine_24 | TJ, AFK | 03:08 |
| apb1963 | TJ-: thank you. Is there a way to determine which packages are dependent on qt 4.8.2 or do I have to uninstall all ppas? | 03:08 |

| jbalthazar | Hi, I have a question regarding installation using netboot | 03:12 |
| normanclegg | Magiobiwan: i put a drive in a modern gateway machine and did a normal install and then put the drive in an old assed HP and it booted and has been working pefectly for 4 months now. | 03:12 |
| Magiobiwan | normanclegg, that would work GREAT. If I could physically access the machine | 03:13 |
| Magiobiwan | It's about... 300 miles away? | 03:13 |
| apb1963 | xangua: every little bit helps. Thank you | 03:13 |
| jbalthazar | I'm able to get the machine to boot to the installer, and when I select either Install or Command-line install it downloads files from the tftp server and then hangs | 03:13 |
| somsip | DrGrov: I woudl say so. If there is no path from the outside world to your computer through your router, it's safe (subject to router exploits and other caveats) | 03:13 |
| jbalthazar | It won't accept any input and eventually just starts beeping at me when I hit keys | 03:14 |
| Magiobiwan | jbalthazar, 13.10 netinstall ISO? | 03:14 |
| jbalthazar | No, netboot | 03:14 |
| Magiobiwan | mini.iso? | 03:14 |
| jbalthazar | No ISO. I'm booting over the network | 03:15 |
| Magiobiwan | OH | 03:15 |
| Magiobiwan | Okay | 03:15 |
| DrGrov | somsip: I am just checking the NAT status on my box and there is no outside connections coming in except source ips like 192.168.xxx.xxx and 172.xxx.xxx.xxx and destination ips are 224.xxx and so forth. Nothing big though since the expirations are way in the future. Looks ok to me. | 03:15 |
| jbalthazar | (It's an old Toughbook without a CD drive and all my USB flash drives are either dead or in use) | 03:16 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: OK, mini.iso has an EFI system partition in the El Torito boot section, so it should UEFI boot | 03:16 |
| dalit | my ubuntu12.04 is behaving abnormally | 03:17 |
| normanclegg | drgrov PeerGuardian for linux is pretty cool and easy. I'm blocking 375,000 ip ranges and 1.25 Billion individual ip addresses. | 03:17 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: You could check that manually by choosing the system's firmware UEFI shell and then doing "fs0:\EFI\boot\bootx64.efi" to manually start the loader | 03:17 |
| dalit | my ubuntu12.04 is behaving abnormally, it boots up without desktop files and ceases to close application frequently | 03:17 |
| TJ- | normanclegg: I do that too; I pull the cable out :) | 03:18 |
| DrGrov | normanclegg: I use blocklists for other things than that if I am honest. | 03:18 |
| dalit | my ubuntu12.04 is behaving abnormally, it boots up without desktop files and ceases to close application frequently | 03:18 |
| somsip | !patience | dalit | 03:18 |
| ubottu | dalit: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 03:18 |
| DrGrov | normanclegg: So I am not so worried about incoming connections while seeding/downloading Linux ISOs :) | 03:19 |
| dalit | :) | 03:19 |
| DrGrov | normanclegg: Curios to know though. How did you set up PeerGuardian? | 03:20 |
| jbalthazar | Ahhhh, figured it out | 03:21 |
| jbalthazar | Okay, my question has changed :D | 03:21 |
| DrGrov | somsip: Ah, why did I not see this earlier? I have my connection through a LAN cable but the router just has also this neat feature of enabling disabling ports and having NAT parameters inside itself. Did not even see that far LOL | 03:21 |
| jbalthazar | I ran it in "expert command line mode" and I find that the CPU isn't supported as it lacks "pae" | 03:21 |
| jbalthazar | Any idea how to netboot with a kernel for an older machine? | 03:22 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: mini.iso with UEFI starts perfectly here for me | 03:22 |
| Magiobiwan | Oh fun | 03:22 |

| * Magiobiwan glares at the IPMI | 03:22 | |
| normanclegg | DrGrov: It was shockingly easy. You add the peerguardian PPA and then do the install. And there's a GUI and everything | 03:22 |
| _1_Fran999 | http://codes4free.net/?ref=iLx4EbTKd | 03:23 |
| normanclegg | DrGrov: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa | 03:24 |
| normanclegg | DrGrov: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pgld pglcmd pglgui | 03:24 |
| DrGrov | normanclegg: Thank you, you got a homepage with the info so I can bookmark it for further use? :) | 03:24 |
| lokus | anyone know what happened to the igmp_max_memberships procfs file? i can't find it on my 12.04 system, it's there on 10.04 | 03:24 |
| TJ- | jbalthazar: The 12.04 non-pae mini.iso is here: http://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/ | 03:24 |
| jbalthazar | TJ-: The machine unfortunately doesn't have a CD drive... | 03:24 |
| jbalthazar | So I've been booting over the network | 03:25 |
| normanclegg | DrGrov: pretty much all this https://www.google.com/search?q=peerguardian+ppa&num=100&client=opera&hs=3VK&channel=suggest&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:y&sa=X&ei=pFDXUub0OM_VqQGA1YH4DA&ved=0CB0QpwUoBQ&biw=750&bih=1134 | 03:25 |
| TJ- | jbalthazar: extract it and PXE boot from it using TFTP/NFS | 03:25 |
| normanclegg | DrGrov: I'm a noob and its been easy | 03:25 |
| DrGrov | normanclegg: Thank you for the link. I know that I could have Googled it myself as well :) Thanks again. | 03:25 |
| TJ- | jbalthazar: There's a netboot.tar.gz there too | 03:25 |
| somsip | normanclegg: DrGrov PPAs are not recommended here. Please be aware that they can cause problems | 03:25 |
| jbalthazar | Ahh, okay | 03:25 |
| jbalthazar | I'll give that a try :D | 03:25 |
| jbalthazar | Is there a reason I shouldn't use a more recent version? | 03:26 |
| olsonea | Hi all, I desperately need help. sudo apt-get upgrade installed a new nvidia driver that hosed my system. x wont start, and it says i'm in low graphics mode. | 03:26 |
| jbalthazar | (I have not mastered the Ubuntu versioning...) | 03:26 |
| olsonea | any help is appreciated | 03:26 |
| TJ- | jbalthazar: If you can find a non-pae one, then use it, but that's the last one I know of | 03:26 |
| jbalthazar | Okay, great | 03:26 |
| DrGrov | somsip: Yes, I know about PPAs but just thought it would be good to keep in mind if needed later. But now it seems like my router is taking care of the stuff itself. Thanks for reminding though :) | 03:27 |
| TJ- | jbalthazar: and 12.04 is an LTS and therefore still supported | 03:27 |
| olsonea | sudo apt-get purge nvidia* yielded no results... | 03:27 |
| somsip | DrGrov: fair enough. Some people take advice as "do this" and blindly follow. Just checking | 03:27 |
| olsonea | somsip: yeah, some people like me.../dopesmack | 03:27 |
| normanclegg | DrGrov: also browser addons like Ghostery can limit connections drastically | 03:27 |
| DrGrov | somsip: No but it is good that you check up. I have a tendency to use my fat fingers to make a few accidental "Press Y to confirm" clicks once in a while ;-) | 03:28 |
| normanclegg | somsip: is exactly right. Using any PPA is fully and unreservedly trusting the source now and forever. Its a HUGE step. | 03:30 |
| olsonea | normanclegg: exactly what i SHOULDN'T have done with nvidia... | 03:31 |
| jbalthazar | TJ-: That seems to have done it. Thanks :D | 03:32 |
| olsonea | ok, so lesson learned. can anyone help me clean up my mess? | 03:32 |
| olsonea | i have access to the machine via ssh, so i might be able to switch back to the nouveau driver if someone know how to get me there | 03:33 |
| TJ- | olsonea: which ubuntu version, i386 or x64? | 03:33 |
| olsonea | x64, it's xubuntu 13.10 | 03:33 |
| TJ- | olsonea: OK and you're sure there are no nvidia packages remaining? "dpkg-query -l 'nvidia*' | 03:34 |
| olsonea | so, there are quite a few... | 03:34 |
| TJ- | olsonea: Can you pastebin the output? | 03:34 |
| olsonea | why didn't apt-get purge see them? | 03:34 |
| TJ- | olsonea: If you used "nvidia*" on the command-line in a directory with any nvidia* files in it, the shell would expand to those names, not pass the "8" to apt-get as you might be expecting | 03:35 |

| olsonea | Sparkie: hi | 03:39 |
| Sparkie | how are you? | 03:39 |
| olsonea | Sparkie: broken | 03:39 |
| Sparkie | why ? :( | 03:40 |
| olsonea | nvidia | 03:40 |
| DrGrov | somsip: Now I am wondering though. | 03:40 |
| DrGrov | somsip: Got a few destination IPs going to Saskatchewan Telecommunications and some random telecommuncations business in Athens, Greece. | 03:40 |
| DrGrov | somsip: Wondering a bit though what are these going out on my wan1 interface? The box I have is not the box I have with my current ISP. It is a branded box from my old ISP. | 03:41 |
| DrGrov | But the old box is still working with this current ISP | 03:41 |
| olsonea | TJ-: any thoughts? | 03:41 |
| Sparkie | is there any reason why ubuntu's wireless is so slow | 03:42 |
| xangua | !details | Sparkie | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Sparkie: 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 ..." | 03:44 |
| TJ- | olsonea: Yes; remove the packages that remain :) You've had nvidia-331 installed, and previously removed that (not purged though), but you've still got nvidia-current, nvidia-304 installed | 03:46 |
| TJ- | Sparkie: Ubuntu's wireless isn't slow; it's just your particular configuration. | 03:46 |
| olsonea | 'sudo apt-get remove nvidia-331' i assume? | 03:47 |
| ZenTech | Sparkie, chances are it could be the network that you're connected to. | 03:47 |
| TJ- | olsonea: Yes... make sure you list all those installed packages just-in-case ... dependency rules should ensure that "nvidia-current" removes everything but you never know | 03:47 |
| olsonea | s/remove/purge | 03:47 |
| TJ- | olsonea: Yes, purge will remove the blacklists nvidia creates for noveau... hopefully! | 03:48 |
| * olsonea crosses his fingers... | 03:48 | |
| jbalthazar | Hm. The installer seems to have hung at downloading packages | 03:49 |
| jbalthazar | No status bar on the installer or error message on the console | 03:49 |
| TJ- | jbalthazar: not helpful... any alternate TTYs you can switch to to investigate? | 03:49 |
| jbalthazar | I hit alt-F4 and it seems to have been able to contact the server | 03:50 |
| jbalthazar | Then verified "Good signature from 'Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <etc>'" | 03:50 |
| nitk | i created the mail server through iRedMail.....i am able to send the mail...bt when i am sending the mail from other mail address to this mail address the message sending is failed and the error is domain name not found | 03:50 |
| jbalthazar | And then nothing | 03:50 |
| jbalthazar | It's been there for a few minutes now | 03:51 |
| jbalthazar | (These being messagse from net-retriever) | 03:52 |
| olsonea | TJ-: YOU RULE | 03:54 |
| olsonea | Many thanks! | 03:54 |
| gmachine_24 | TJ, so, everything is fine. I installed the igfx driver package and that fixed things. | 03:54 |
| TJ- | jbalthazar: is "netstat" available at that point? | 03:55 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: Yay! see ... help is around :) | 03:55 |
| gmachine_24 | TJ, dude, I figured out that one on my own. :-) | 03:55 |
| jbalthazar | No :/ | 03:55 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: sometimes your own brain just needs a prod to think for itself again... I know mine does! | 03:56 |
| gmachine_24 | Is it TJ- or TJ_ | 03:56 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: I only have the hyphen because someone else got 'tj' grrrr | 03:57 |
| jsplifer | Device for boot loader installation: Should I choose HardDrive or should I choose my efi partition? | 03:57 |
| gmachine_24 | Now if I can just get the usb wireless "dongle" to work I'll be set | 03:57 |
| gmachine_24 | At least now I can read and see what I'm doing | 03:57 |
| jbalthazar | TJ-: Actually, it seems to be doing something in /var/cache/anna with two files named Packages and Packages.new | 03:57 |
| jbalthazar | I'm going to let it do its thing for a while and maybe some day it will let me know what it's up to :D | 03:58 |
| olsonea | thanks again... bye! | 03:58 |
| TJ- | jbalthazar: Sounds like it is just a very slow connection | 03:59 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: I generally install "openssh-server" and have another machine I can ssh in from just-in-case of display problems... makes it quick to investigate and solve | 04:00 |
| gmachine_24 | same for me; it's just that at the moment I'm at a Windows 7 using Putty | 04:02 |
| TJ- | gmachine_24: I'm at a Windows 7 beating its brains out for crashing out during installer boot when UEFI but not when BIOS! | 04:02 |
| ramborocks | what is putty? | 04:04 |
| gmachine_24 | it's silly | 04:04 |
| gmachine_24 | :-) | 04:04 |
| ramborocks | im pretty new | 04:05 |
| ramborocks | i just made my first virtual box and am impressed lol | 04:05 |
| gmachine_24 | a program that makes it easy to connect to a LInux box via a terminal | 04:05 |
| gmachine_24 | that is putty | 04:05 |
| ramborocks | ahhh! ive heard of it | 04:05 |
| ramborocks | just didnt know the name | 04:05 |
| KI7MT | !putty | ramborocks | 04:05 |
| ubottu | ramborocks: PuTTY is an !SSH client for Windows. Please see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage and downloads. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) | 04:05 |
| gmachine_24 | ramborocks, you are running Ubuntu as a virtual machine? or vice versa with windows......................... | 04:10 |
| nitk | i created the mail server through iRedMail.....i am able to send the mail...bt when i am sending the mail from other mail address to this mail address the message sending is failed and the error is domain name not found | 04:16 |
| ramborocks | gmachine im running ubuntu as the host | 04:18 |
| KI7MT | ramborocks, Well in that case, you don't need PuTTY .. just a terminal, Ctrl+Alt+T .. and ssh to wherever you like. | 04:30 |

| somsip | !nomodeset | Magiobiwan | 04:39 |
| ubottu | Magiobiwan: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 04:39 |

| twenty-three | hi guys, i am running 13.10 and did an update a couple of days ago which caused bluetooth to act up. my bluetooth mouse claims to be paired but it doesn't respond to the device activity. i have tested the mouse in other computers since then, the mouse work fine | 04:40 |
| twenty-three | is there a way to test bluetooth is acting as it should? or a way to indetify the problem? | 04:40 |
| normanclegg | bleeding edge linux has its problems | 04:41 |
| normanclegg | bluetooth is certainly one of the things I'd imagine being a problem. | 04:42 |
| TJ- | Magiobiwan: "nomodeset" prevents kernel mode-setting | 04:42 |
| twenty-three | normanclegg, is there a way to revert whichever update did this? or should i suck it up until the next update? | 04:42 |
| TJ- | twenty-three: have you tried deleting the connect and re-pairing? | 04:43 |
| twenty-three | TJ yeah, tried that a few times already, still claims it paired appropriately | 04:43 |

| === jack is now known as Guest79676 | ||
| normanclegg | twenty-three: actually YES generally is, but I can't walk you through it just now. | 04:44 |
| TJ- | twenty-three: check "/var/log/syslog" for clues, and "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" since it might be an input device issue with the X server | 04:44 |
| normanclegg | TJ-: it is 2014. Its past time to be asking recruits to read the text files. | 04:45 |
| twenty-three | haha, i'm reading it | 04:46 |

| normanclegg | humor | 04:48 |
| twenty-three | i found something which i'll paste in a sec | 04:49 |
| TJ- | twenty-three: I had an incident recently where the X server was refusing additional input devices... that was with a BT mouse, too... it would disconnect a few times and eventually the X server wouldn't accept it any more | 04:49 |
| twenty-three | however i also found this: Jan 14 11:46:49 VAIO kernel: [ 13.101179] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. should i be worried about this? | 04:49 |
| rww | twenty-three: that happens on all computers using the non-free nvidia driver | 04:50 |
| TJ- | twenty-three: no, that is expected. It's warning that the nvidia module isn't open-source and so certain kernel facilities are disabled | 04:50 |
| twenty-three | regarding bluetooth i found this but i think this was when i was trying to reconnect Jan 14 11:46:49 VAIO kernel: [ 13.118676] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized | 04:50 |

| TJ- | twenty-three: BT has to co-exist with all other devices in the 2.4GHz band, and it is a low-power system and can be overwhelmed by other devices close-by | 04:59 |

| nitk | how traceroute works?? | 05:01 |
| TJ- | twenty-three: If you can switch off wifi on the 'phone, and temporarily use "rfkill" to turn off the laptop's WiFi radio... and see if you can then pair and continue using the BT mouse without issue... that would help rule out interference | 05:02 |
| twenty-three | i wouldn't think so. i rely on wifi for my laptop's internet and the modem is kinda far from here, unless it is the wifi communication to the laptop what troubles it in that case it is right next to it | 05:02 |
| twenty-three | i'll try that | 05:02 |
| TJ- | twenty-three: to use rfkill do "sudo rfkill block wifi" and to turn it back on "sudo rfkill unblock wifi" | 05:03 |
| twenty-three | i'll try it, brb, probably i'll disconnect from here | 05:04 |
| twenty-three | thanks TJ | 05:04 |
| TJ- | twenty-three: If the WiFi router is a long way away... | 05:04 |
| TJ- | twenty-three: .... that would suggest your laptop's wifi radio is sending out a strong signal ... which is more likely to overwhelm the BT | 05:04 |
| twenty-three | TJ, it worked!!! :D | 05:07 |

| Diehard | Viking667: do you have your source list updated for your os version? it's common problem | 07:08 |
| Viking667 | the machine was only installed (with 13.10) about five days ago... | 07:08 |
| Viking667 | err, about seven days ago | 07:09 |
| Diehard | Viking667: shouldn't be the problem | 07:09 |
| Viking667 | heh. OBviously something's complaining. Sigh. | 07:10 |
| Diehard | hm | 07:11 |
| darius93 | Viking667: did you enable the Canonical Partners? | 07:11 |
| darius93 | if so remove skype and then do apt-get update;apt-get install skype | 07:12 |
| darius93 | and it will install everything for you | 07:12 |
| Viking667 | I enabled it just a few minutes ago. so I'll try that all again. | 07:12 |

| darius93 | Viking667: what did it do? | 07:30 |
| Viking667 | Unfortunately, I have other programs that use pulseaudio, and once they do, then skype freezes, because it's trying to talk to the alsa device and getting blocked. | 07:30 |

| Viking667 | uhm, no thanks. | 07:31 |

| supauli | Viking667: i guess you have good reason, but at least my skype works fine when talking with pulsaudio .. | 07:31 |
| Viking667 | supauli: are you on a 64-bit install or a 32-bit install? | 07:32 |
| darius93 | Viking667: if it freezes restart your computer | 07:32 |
| supauli | Viking667: 64b | 07:32 |
| Viking667 | it's only skype that freezes. | 07:32 |
| darius93 | im on 64bit Ubuntu 13.10 | 07:32 |
| Viking667 | supauli: hm. Interesting. Skype pulls in all the 32-bit stuff... do you happen to have libpulse0:i386 installed? | 07:32 |
| Viking667 | ... and (for example) libasound2-plugins:i386? | 07:32 |
| darius93 | brb | 07:33 |
| Viking667 | because I can't seem to get them to install. | 07:33 |
| darius93 | they suppose to install with skype | 07:33 |
| darius93 | do apt-get install -f | 07:33 |
| KLVTZ | darius93: what's your problem? | 07:33 |
| darius93 | ? | 07:33 |
| Viking667 | darius93: skype never asks for libpulse0 | 07:33 |

| KLVTZ | darius93: sorry, I thought we were helping you out. I just came in here. Maybe I should just ask what problems are we trying to solve today? haha | 07:34 |
| Viking667 | apt-get install -f , didn't show any packages to install, or remove. | 07:34 |
| supauli | Viking667: and yes, my skype-bin has "Architecture: i386" | 07:35 |
| Viking667 | should I add "skype" and "libpulse0" to that? | 07:35 |
| Viking667 | there isn't a 64-bit skype. | 07:35 |
| Viking667 | ... not since 2.x.something. | 07:35 |
| huttan | hexabit ?? | 07:36 |
| Viking667 | I tried: apt-get install -f libpulse0:i386, it replied (among other things) The following packages have unmet dependencies... E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 07:37 |
| Viking667 | Problem is, I can't see any broken packages in synaptic. | 07:37 |

| Z3R0 | and then i typed ./configure then its giving an error saying- | 07:52 |
| marsfligth | yes it is offline | 07:52 |
| Viking667 | Z3R0: I'd take a look at wallch. | 07:52 |
| marsfligth | not chrooted | 07:52 |
| Z3R0 | ok thanks | 07:52 |
| Z3R0 | bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 07:53 |
| Viking667 | marsfligth: what's your definition of "offline"? it's not running, or it's running, but no network ? | 07:53 |
| Viking667 | Z3R0: ls first. | 07:53 |
| somsip | Z3R0: did you tar zxf wallpaperchanger.tar.gz first (or whatever it is called) | 07:53 |

| Viking667 | Z3R0: you want wallpapers that change regularly, right? | 07:54 |
| Z3R0 | do i have to "tar" it? | 07:54 |
| Z3R0 | yes yes | 07:54 |
| Viking667 | how about trying wallch instead? | 07:54 |
| Viking667 | that's available from the repository | 07:54 |

| Z3R0 | ? | 07:54 |
| marsfligth | offline in system admin gergon. it is attached to an other OS in this case boot repair cd | 07:54 |
| Viking667 | so start up synaptic or whatever you use | 07:54 |
| Z3R0 | i have synaptic installed | 07:54 |
| Viking667 | good.Fire it up (sudo synaptic) | 07:55 |
| Z3R0 | done | 07:55 |
| Viking667 | in the "Quick Search" type "wallch" | 07:55 |

| Z3R0 | ok done | 07:55 |
| Viking667 | I can certainly recommend wallch | 07:55 |
| Viking667 | Z3R0: so, now you tick the box beside wallch, and select "Install" | 07:56 |
| Viking667 | or "select for installation" | 07:56 |

| marsfligth | Anyone know a way to convert a Ubuntu 32bit to Ubuntu 64bit in offline mode? for offline I mean withou load the os, working on it from another loaded an active system | 08:05 |
| marsfligth | and if I chroot it? | 08:06 |
| marsfligth | shoul be possible? | 08:06 |
| yacc | marsfligth: I'd say, it's not really a normally supported operation even if you start the system, ... | 08:06 |
| somsip | marsfligth: most things are possible. It would probably be a nightmare though. | 08:06 |
| yacc | marsfligth: doing it offline, you might be able to install a new 64bit system and slowly migrate the data into it. | 08:07 |
| imghost | marsfligth, why not a clean install? | 08:08 |
| yacc | marsfligth: but just installing a Debian (Ubuntu) system via debootstrap is slightly stressy. | 08:09 |
| marsfligth | I know but I promised to migrate the whole Ubuntu with data and settings to my friend and I really dont like to miss at my promise... | 08:09 |
| somsip | marsfligth: so you've learned not to promise things without doing some research first | 08:10 |
| imghost | marsfligth, aaah good luckn but you will not able to fullfill your promise | 08:10 |
| yacc | marsfligth: well, basically new install with migration of all stuff is what will be needed. | 08:10 |
| imghost | marsfligth, create a backup of everything settings, files, apps then clean install 64bit, restore the backups | 08:12 |
| imghost | :P | 08:12 |
| TJ- | marsfligth You can't easily convert it, but you can create a new 64-bit install and ensure the same packages are installed in it, and then mount the original /home/ into it | 08:12 |
| marsfligth | at this point seen that I made few ghosts to be secure, I chroot and then dist-upgrade, but anyway I have to study a way to convert it in 64bit | 08:12 |
| yacc | marsfligth: with some work and keeping both (new 64bit, old 32bit) at hand you should be able to migrate it nearly perfectly, but it's basically manually migrating the stuff. | 08:12 |
| TJ- | marsfligth: "dpkg --get-selections" and "dpkg --set-selections" are your big friends | 08:13 |
| yacc | TJ-: don't forget basically going through /etc for the sysconfig. | 08:14 |
| TJ- | yacc: of course, that should be simple clone as long as the release is the same | 08:15 |
| imghost | +1 yacc | 08:15 |
| marsfligth | TJ-, I agree with a fresh install and importing the home directory but all softwares... may be I need to use DPKG to save all of them | 08:15 |
| marsfligth | so, it is a bad surprise | 08:15 |
| TJ- | marsfligth: why? I just showed you the 2 command options that you need | 08:16 |

| glitsj16 | hipitihop: hi there | 08:24 |
| === comrade is now known as Guest36561 | ||
| yacc | giorgiodinapoli: very good question, interesting question would be what are the differences between "Try Ubuntu", "Install Ubuntu" and "installed system" | 08:24 |
| hipitihop | hi glitsj16, if you still remember about the ide you had re my headset issue, I'm all ears if you have time | 08:24 |
| hipitihop | s/ide/idea | 08:25 |
| yacc | My laptop works with "installed system", "install ubuntu", but had a black screen in "Try ubuntu", ... | 08:25 |
| glitsj16 | hipitihop: been slow here last couple of days .. well, i read on your bug report that you're focussing on diff'ing your 12.04 with the live version yes? | 08:25 |
| darius93 | yacc: it could be due to ubuntu trying to load into memory | 08:25 |
| yacc | darius93: ? | 08:26 |
| darius93 | im referring to the black screen you had when you did "Try Ubuntu" | 08:26 |
| yacc | darius93: with 8GB RAM even loading the "install media" (CD-sized) completely into memory should not be an issue. | 08:26 |
| hipitihop | glitsj16, well that was the idea to try and understand why it works out of the box on 12.04 or 13.10 but I honestly don't know if that is a right way to go | 08:26 |
| darius93 | hmm specs on the computer? | 08:26 |
| yacc | darius93: yeah, but the same install media manages a fine working X11 session when installing Ubuntu on the same hardware. | 08:27 |
| hipitihop | glitsj16, the other thought is if there is some reset/reconfigure of alsa/pulse so that whatver livecd does takes effect | 08:27 |

| MarkMarkDavies | Yes | 08:28 |
| darius93 | Look in your Application Default under System Settings | 08:28 |
| darius93 | Or something like that | 08:28 |
| glitsj16 | hipitihop: i just re-read the report, i had 2 other possibles you could check .. /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and check if you have diff's in /etc/udev/rules.d between the setups | 08:29 |
| darius93 | yacc: hmm well I dont know. I never used Try Ubuntu since 13.04. I might give it a try when i test out 14.04 | 08:30 |
| glitsj16 | hipitihop: both are longshots anyway .. completely re-configuring alsa & pulseaudio might be a better idea yes | 08:30 |
| yacc | Well, I guess my situation is way better (installer & installed working) than the other way round, ... | 08:30 |
| yacc | But the question stays, what are the big differences, | 08:31 |
| glitsj16 | hipitihop: have you tried using the guest account to check/confirm if it's a configure issue yet? | 08:31 |
| yacc | I did not expect Try Ubuntu & Install Ubuntu to have such big differences in the video setup part. | 08:31 |

| glitsj16 | hipitihop: well i would try with either guest login or as a new user to see if that works and save the big hammer for a moment | 08:33 |
| hipitihop | glitsj16, ok back in a bit | 08:34 |

| glitsj16 | hipitihop: i assume you've already tried to 'clone' the live configuration onto your 12.04? files like /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, /etc/asound.conf, ~/.asoundrc, ~/.pulse and ~/.config/pulse are the possible targets .. | 08:58 |
| hipitihop | glitsj16, not yet | 08:58 |
| glitsj16 | hipitihop: some of those files might not be there on the live system, so make sure they're not around on your installed 12.04 setup neither | 08:59 |

| glitsj16 | hipitihop: you would need sudo to get at stuff in /etc or gksudo nautilus/thunar.. | 09:06 |

| troulouliou_dev | hi i have a 4tb disk formated on ext4 that works great with a usb3 controler, however when plugged directly to a sata part i have an error message : /dev/sdc: unrecognised disk label | 09:06 |
| troulouliou_dev | can anybody help | 09:06 |
| faraway | ikonia: runlevel is N 2 | 09:07 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: see if you can edit it with parted | 09:07 |
| faraway | ikonia: boot.log does not show postfix in the logs | 09:07 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, no parted says unrecognised disk label | 09:08 |
| ikonia | faraway: so it looks like it didn't try to start it..... | 09:08 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: is it a standard gpt layout ? | 09:08 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, yes | 09:09 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: seems odd, there have been problems on usb disks where the controller didn't support larger than 2TB disks, but that should not be a factor on your internal sata connector | 09:09 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, works on usb adapter; don't work on SATA; i tested both mobo and external sata card | 09:09 |
| ikonia | external sata card..... | 09:09 |
| ikonia | ? | 09:09 |
| giorgiodinapoli | yacc yes thats my question howe can it be diffrent | 09:10 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, pcie i mean | 09:10 |
| hipitihop | glitsj16, not sure if relevant but I have 12.04 on my laptop, installed and that is happy with teh headphones too | 09:10 |
| giorgiodinapoli | kernel version or whatever | 09:10 |
| * hipitihop shakes head | 09:10 | |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev can you try it on the sata parts on your motherboard ? | 09:10 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, i tested and i have the same issue | 09:10 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, just don't work on sata and work on usb | 09:11 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, i guess that the firmware somehow don't show first sectors on SATA or something like that | 09:11 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: out of interest how did you make the partitiotn table / | 09:12 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, gparted -> new partition gpt ... | 09:12 |
| glitsj16 | hipitihop: so you're seeing the issue on a desktop only? | 09:12 |
| rustuptwist_ | What is the best version to download for novice user onto an hp laptop? | 09:13 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: ok, there was someone the other day having a problem similar with a "hybrid" partition table that when I researched into was a bit of a mess, but if you've just created it with gparted... | 09:13 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: was the INITIAL partition table created with gparted | 09:14 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, pretty sure that yes | 09:14 |
| aeon-ltd | rustuptwist_: best of what? ubuntu distros? | 09:14 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: sounds very very odd | 09:14 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, maybe i just took it out of the box and then formatted to ext4 | 09:14 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: is there any data on it now ? | 09:15 |
| rustuptwist_ | aeon-ltd: Yes | 09:15 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, but i always recreated the partition table | 09:15 |
| aeon-ltd | rustuptwist_: if it can run stock, run stock | 09:15 |
| troulouliou_dev | ikonia, yes it is full i want to copy some of the data to another 2tb disk and then add it to a Raid 1 degraded array that is already mounted | 09:15 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: a raid array.... | 09:15 |
| KI7MT | rustuptwist_, Install Ubuntu-Desktop .. then you can add other Desktops to it, Gnome3, LXDE, XFCE etc. | 09:16 |
| ikonia | troulouliou_dev: that will contain the private data | 09:16 |
| ikonia | (as in private region) | 09:16 |

| ROPA | I just got a solid state drive, it works well, but I'd like to adjust ubuntu so that the ssd isn't accessed so often. Is there any support for ssd use in linux??? | 09:25 |

| aeon-ltd | ROPA: trim? disable swap? | 09:26 |

| aeon-ltd | i personally have never used or managed ssds though | 09:27 |
| aeon-ltd | is this a desktop? | 09:27 |
| SwedeMike | ROPA: this is done automatically, all free ram you have is used as block cache. | 09:27 |
| ROPA | aeon-ltd I don't know what trim is.......... | 09:28 |
| aeon-ltd | ROPA: if you still have the hdd you can just have the swap there so you still hibernate, free up ram | 09:28 |
| aeon-ltd | ROPA: it could be already enabled | 09:28 |
| MarkMarkDavies | aeon-ltd: oh, thanks, now my menu looks nice :). | 09:28 |
| aeon-ltd | ROPA: according to wiki it's been in since 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_%28computing%29 | 09:29 |
| ROPA | SwedeMike I don't think Im using ram well....whenever I open thunderbord or try to delete messages or do housecleining, the drive access is very high....... | 09:29 |
| aeon-ltd | ROPA: if your messages are in the ssd then it should be, but it depends on how high, very high is | 09:31 |
| ROPA | SwedeMike ok, I got some reading to do......but Im not sure the ram is used. It seems sluggish at times and the drive light indicates lots of access. | 09:31 |
| ROPA | aeon-ltd by 'high', I mean it takes 60 seconds of constant drive activity to delete 300 emails....... | 09:32 |
| clamiax | hi there | 09:34 |
| ROPA | I'd actaully like to drop the whole operating system into ram and run it from there....never having to write or read from the ssd!!!!! Not sure if that's possible.... | 09:34 |
| ROPA | I'd gladly buy 16 GB of ram if I could load the entire os into ram on startup......and then write to the ssd when shutting down. | 09:36 |

| freaky[t] | hi all. can anyone help me with duply? i want to setup backups so they run daily. there should always only be 1 full backup set and incremental backups should only be kept for 1 week. if i set MAX_AGE in the config to 1W it never can delete old backup sets cuz newer ones depend on them. if i do a full backup every 2 weeks and do purge, only the last full backup is kept (i also only want 1 full | 09:48 |
| freaky[t] | backup kept) and i couldnt restore stuff from before that day the full backup set is made cuz the old sets get deleted. so say if i run full backup every 2 weeks and do purge i have before that a backup set of the last 14 days and then suddenly after only from the full backup just made. is there a possibility i can always have last 7 days and always only 1 full backup set? | 09:48 |

| wh1zz0 | Hi guys I am having serious issues which apach2... I didnt have this issue with 12.10. I recently upgraded to 13.10 and installed apache2, mysql and all the other dependencies correctly. After testing localhost is shows "it works" which means I didn't make any mistakes regarding installation BUT my prolem here is with file permissions. When I upload, i.e copy a folder to the /var/www , change it's ownership and give it read write permissions I still cannot view | 09:51 |
| wh1zz0 | the pages correctly from localhost/website.. Please help | 09:51 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: explain the error | 09:51 |
| wh1zz0 | ikonia: it doesnt show me any error per say, it only doesn't display the pictures correctly and some things are missing on the page | 09:52 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: so what does the apache logs say for those get requests | 09:52 |
| wh1zz0 | ikonia: Do I paste it here or use pastebin? | 09:54 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: you don't paste it at all | 09:54 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: you look at it and look at the get requests for those files | 09:54 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: then work out why they are having a problem | 09:54 |
| KI7MT | wh1zz0, from 12.10 to 13.10, was apache2.2 to 2.4 they switched allot of things around, have a look at the access control section: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/upgrading.html | 09:58 |
| wh1zz0 | Whew... Still getting the same error | 09:59 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: have you looked at the apache log | 10:00 |
| wh1zz0 | The error has something to do with file permissions but I tell you, I have changed from 777 to 755 and back to 777 | 10:00 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: looking at the get requests for those files as I told you to | 10:00 |
| wh1zz0 | Still error exists | 10:00 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: have you looked at the apache log and done what I told you | 10:00 |
| wh1zz0 | Okay | 10:00 |
| wh1zz0 | Yes | 10:00 |
| wh1zz0 | I checked the apache log | 10:00 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: ok, what is the get request for one of the missing files | 10:00 |
| ikonia | or faiing to display files | 10:01 |
| ikonia | which apache log did you check ? | 10:01 |
| wh1zz0 | ikonia: the one here | 10:01 |
| wh1zz0 | /var/log/apache2/error.log | 10:01 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: thats the error log - not the access log | 10:02 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: do you see the get requests in the access log, do you see the error for those gets in the error log | 10:02 |
| wh1zz0 | Aha yes I do see it now | 10:02 |
| ikonia | you mean after you actually looked | 10:02 |
| ikonia | rather than saying you looked but didn't | 10:02 |
| wh1zz0 | My bad, I thought I was looking at the access logs | 10:03 |
| MarkDavies | I have a really strange situation. I can access google with links browser, but I can't do it with Firefox. Other websites work well. Well, in fact, I've managed to access google with Firefox but the search engine doesn't work anyway. Some ideas? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | MarkDavies: clear all your browser cache | 10:09 |
| MarkDavies | thx, seems that it already works... | 10:09 |
| wh1zz0 | ikonia: From the logs I think it's trying to find some images but it cannot due to the file permissions but I have changed the permissions and even ownership but still get this problem | 10:10 |
| wh1zz0 | If I open the file normally away from localhost, it opens up fine but once in /var/www is doesn't display correctly | 10:10 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: show me the get line please | 10:11 |

| TJ- | ikonia: wh1zz0 "search permissions" usually means a directory traversal eXecute flag | 10:14 |
| ikonia | TJ-: he said he's done 777 on the directory, so it must be the apache2 define statement | 10:15 |

| ikonia | TJ-: he said he'd done it all | 10:15 |
| wh1zz0 | I even added my username to www-data giving ownership thinking that was part of the problem but still same problem | 10:17 |
| ikonia | your username ???? what has that got to do with anything | 10:17 |
| ikonia | it's the apache daemon that needs file system permissions | 10:17 |

| researcher123 | hi | 10:30 |
| researcher123 | anyone knows about TOR for Ubuntu? | 10:31 |
| DJones | !tor | researcher123 | 10:31 |
| ubottu | researcher123: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 10:31 |
| TJ- | wh1zz0: Use this shell scriplet to check traversals: P="<put the path to the file here>"; while [ ! -z $P ]; do if [ "3" -ne "$(ls -ld $P | awk -F"x" '{print NF-1}')" ]; then echo "FAIL $(ls -ld $P)"; else echo "OK $P"; fi; P=${P%/*}; done | 10:32 |
| researcher123 | DJones: I have installed TOR but when I run command it open gedit window | 10:32 |
| wh1zz0 | ls -ln /var/www/norwaysb ..... http://pastebin.com/7rd49ufQ | 10:32 |
| DJones | researcher123: `ok, its not something I've used, but if you explain the problem in detail, hopefully somebody in the channel can help | 10:33 |
| researcher123 | How to run as a program a shell script? | 10:34 |
| Sylvain208 | http://molo.bee.free.fr/screenshot/bee_happy_screenshot_102.png here's a final video « error » half shifted with glitch seems to be triggered only from some web pages under firefox. Where should I post the bug firefox, fglrx ? | 10:35 |
| wh1zz0 | researcher123: after installing tor from terminal use torify | 10:35 |
| wh1zz0 | also make sure port is 9095 | 10:35 |
| researcher123 | wh1zz0: how to do that? | 10:36 |
| wh1zz0 | Ben64: Any ideas please? | 10:36 |
| wh1zz0 | My issue | 10:36 |
| wh1zz0 | researcher123: sudo apt-get install tor | 10:36 |
| researcher123 | wh1zz0: ok.trying | 10:36 |
| kurt-nos | salut | 10:36 |
| Ben64 | wh1zz0: definitely an apache config issue | 10:36 |
| wh1zz0 | researcher123: after that follow this: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#using | 10:38 |
| researcher123 | wh1zz0: done.What to do now? | 10:38 |
| wh1zz0 | Ben64: Apparently, any suggestions? | 10:39 |
| Ben64 | wh1zz0: find out what you did to the config and fix it? | 10:39 |
| wh1zz0 | Ben64: Didn't do anything other than change ownership and permissions | 10:40 |
| wh1zz0 | from root to www-data | 10:40 |
| wh1zz0 | and from default to 777 and to 755 and back to 777 | 10:40 |
| welly | Hello all. I appear to be having a case of a very slow ubuntu 12.04 server, which is sat a mere 2 metres behind me | 10:40 |
| welly | Can anyone give me any pointers in where to start problem solving? | 10:40 |
| TJ- | wh1zz0: Since you changed permissions on the directories and ownership, have you restarted apache? You'll need to for the group changes to be picked up | 10:41 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: you updated from apache 2 to 2.2 - there are siificant changes | 10:41 |
| ikonia | sorry 2.2 to 2.4 | 10:41 |
| wh1zz0 | ikonia: No actually it was a clean install but was only trying to state that I recently moved from 12.10 to 13.10 | 10:43 |
| ikonia | ok - then you've moved your content from apache 2.2 to 2.4 - there is a significant difference in the config | 10:44 |
| TJ- | wh1zz0: have you restarted apache? | 10:44 |
| TJ- | wh1zz0: I refer you to the Apache Cookbook which says, of that error: "What "search permissions are missing on a component of the path" means is that somewhere in the directory path leading up to the file in question, there's a search (x) bit missing from one of the directories. You see, Apache needs to be able to look at files, the same as any other application does. And so it needs the search bit (x) set so that it can cd into a directory to get a look around." | 10:44 |
| wh1zz0 | While in 12.10 when ever I had apache issues all I did was... sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www ; sudo chmod -R g+rw /var/www and sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/webdir but here I just don't understand why it's giving this issue | 10:45 |
| wh1zz0 | TJ-: Yeah I restarted many times and did so again a while a go | 10:46 |
| VigilanteP | How can i configure the sortable table control, not sure of the actual name, so that it allows me to shrink columns smaller than the width of the header text | 10:51 |
| VigilanteP | I can't think of where to find something like that, and it's ubiquitous throughout the ubuntu UI | 10:52 |
| cfhowlett | VigilanteP, columns? table? is this ubuntu you're discussing? | 10:53 |
| VigilanteP | yes | 10:53 |
| VigilanteP | the control that holds tabular data, like what you get when you open nautilus | 10:53 |
| cfhowlett | VigilanteP, cuz it sounds just like a spreadsheet program ... | 10:53 |
| VigilanteP | in list mode | 10:53 |
| wh1zz0 | Ben64: ikonia TJ- I changed everything back to default root visited localhost and phpmyadmin, they both displayed correctly but my site cannot be edited so it definitely cannot be left as root | 10:53 |
| wh1zz0 | Whew this is driving me nuts | 10:54 |
| cfhowlett | VigilanteP, understood. ask again with that little detail. I'd help but ... xubuntu | 10:54 |
| VigilanteP | cfhowlett: In nautilus, for instance, I can resize the filename column as big or small as i like, but all the other columns won't let me shrink them smaller than the width of the header | 10:54 |
| Ben64 | wh1zz0: you really need to work on your apache config | 10:55 |
| VigilanteP | cfhowlett: I've noticed this behavior in other places where a similar control is used, so I don't think it | 10:55 |
| VigilanteP | cfhowlett: I don't think it's application specific | 10:55 |
| roido | hi | 10:56 |
| cfhowlett | VigilanteP, understood. sorry that I can't help though; xubuntu and xfce are my desktop environment | 10:56 |
| cfhowlett | roido, greetings | 10:56 |
| roido | thanx | 10:56 |
| roido | was wondering if anyone here could help me with some questions around cloud storage and latency. (not really ubuntu related but I just like this community) | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | !cloud | 10:58 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, is highly configurable and customizable to a variety of environments. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC | 10:58 |

| Mattias | I was running steam and changed resolution in a game, which apparently changed the resolution in xorg too. When I changed back to full native res xorg was still at the lower res. How can I change back without restarting xorg? (Unpacking a huge bz2 file which has been running for the whole day, stupidly enough I started it outside of a terminal multiplexer) | 11:09 |
| yacc | Any idea how to turn off a display temporary? (Basically without unity trying to redistribute the windows)? With xrandr --off it immediatly merges all windows, .. | 11:10 |
| Mattias | When I try to change the display res in gnome settings, I just get an error message saying: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files | 11:10 |
| Walex | Mattias: that's either a bug in GNOME or the installation of some GNOME packages was incomplete | 11:13 |
| Walex | yacc: what do you mean by "off"? | 11:13 |
| geirha | Mattias: xrandr -s 1024x768 will set that resolution if available | 11:14 |
| === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away | ||
| yacc | Well, the idea is simple, I've got a display that is connected to two PCs (desktop/laptop). Now the only way beside physically changing input through the on screen menu, would be switching off temporarily the unwanted display off for a moment. | 11:14 |
| Mattias | Walex: not in gnome right now, or unity, I'm using i3 | 11:15 |
| Mattias | geirha: thanks, will try :) | 11:15 |
| Ben64 | yacc: try "xset dpms force off" | 11:15 |
| wh1zz0 | Ben64: What apache config are you referring to for me to work on please? | 11:16 |
| Mattias | geirha: nice, worked :) thanks | 11:16 |
| yacc | Walex: the issue is, I can kind of automate this, but xrandr triggers automatically the window manager reallocating süace | 11:16 |
| yacc | Ben64: xset can be directed to only one display? | 11:16 |
| Ben64 | wh1zz0: theres a bunch in /etc/apache2 | 11:16 |
| Ben64 | yacc: not sure | 11:16 |
| yacc | Ben64: well, it's an improvement, no layout issues, but both the laptop panel and the external one shut off, ... | 11:18 |
| yacc | Ben64: but yes, it's strictly speaking much of an improvement ;) | 11:18 |
| Ben64 | yacc: there probably is an option to choose which display, check out the help and/or man page | 11:18 |
| delkin | If I install ubuntu-12.04-i686 and then replace the kernel image with a 64bit one, is it expected to work? If not, why not? | 11:19 |

| TeraJL | hi, i've created a share through nautilus, but i can't seem to find its settings on /etc/samba/smb.conf, and system-config-samba doesn't see it too... where is it? | 11:25 |
| TeraJL | i've created a share and i've setted as "Share this folder" and "Allow othres to create and delte files in this folder" but when i try to access i can't login with my account" | 11:26 |
| Walex | Mattias: but you obviously using a GNOME app to manage the displays. | 11:29 |
| Walex | Mattias: there are BTW several other RANDR frontends, for example 'arandr'. | 11:29 |
| yacc | Any way to detect if something is being typed? | 11:31 |
| Diehard | typed where? | 11:32 |
| Diehard | and how? | 11:32 |
| MarkDavies | Why is running tshark as user "root" dangerous? | 11:33 |
| Walex | TeraJL: using frontends to do that is always a bit of a chance... Config files are not really means to be edited by programs | 11:33 |
| Walex | MarkDavies: probably because cleverly shaped packets could cause random code execution on being decoded | 11:33 |
| TeraJL | Walex: so, if i prefer config files i should stick with them? | 11:34 |
| MarkDavies | ok, but then how can I run it at all, if running it as an ordinary user causes a message that the permissions are not sufficient? | 11:34 |
| Walex | TeraJL: I personally, being a "character terminal" sort of user, edit config files directly. | 11:34 |
| TeraJL | i removed the ubuntu share and added through /etc/samba/smb.conf and now it's working --'... thanks | 11:35 |
| Walex | TeraJL: most GUI frontends to "legacy" config files are somewhat unreliable and cause maintenance problems. If config files were written in YAML or JSON it would be different. | 11:35 |
| Walex | TeraJL: BTW a way I use to find which config or other files have been modified by a tool is something like 'find /etc -type f -mmin -10' for example | 11:36 |

| n008 | looking the files in /usr/share they all <files>.ui in xml format | 14:25 |
| n008 | they seem to be gtk file | 14:25 |
| n008 | is that the standard for ubuntu desktop apps ? | 14:25 |
| n008 | how do I develop ubuntu desktop apps ? | 14:26 |
| CorySimmons | Is there a way to get a list of deps -that were installed- during apt-get? | 14:26 |
| kostkon | n008, http://developer.ubuntu.com/ | 14:26 |
| CorySimmons | Also, does apt-get leave me with a binary? | 14:26 |
| ikonia | CorySimmons: apt-get will install a deb a package, which contains what is in the package | 14:26 |
| somsip | CorySimmons: /var/log/apt/history.log | 14:26 |
| CorySimmons | For instance, I'm trying to get an Inkscape 0.47 binary to use with Heroku (Lucid boxes) | 14:26 |
| n008 | kostkon: thanks | 14:27 |
| CorySimmons | When you do apt-get inkscape, it makes it available in your path, so I'm assuming it makes a binary? | 14:27 |
| ikonia | CorySimmons: it won't "make" a binary, it will install a binary from the deb archive it installed | 14:27 |
| CorySimmons | Ok, so, is it possible to get Inkscape to build statically with apt-get, and just include the deps in this static binary? | 14:28 |
| n008 | kostkon: seen QML, is this supported by other linux distro ? | 14:28 |
| CorySimmons | ikonia: I see | 14:28 |
| ikonia | CorySimmons: apt-get does NOT build | 14:28 |
| === keee is now known as w0rmie | ||
| kostkon | n008, qml is a part of qt5 so yes as long as it's not that old | 14:29 |
| CorySimmons | ikonia: Hmm | 14:29 |
| supauli | n008: its actually also usable on some mobile devices, for example jolla ;) | 14:29 |
| kostkon | n008, i meant qt* | 14:29 |
| CorySimmons | ikonia: So is there anyway to grab all the deps I need to statically build Inkscape on a clean Lucid 64 install (Heroku boxes)? | 14:30 |
| kostkon | n008, it's just that the ubuntu sdk is qt5 based | 14:30 |
| ikonia | lucid is dead, so I'd not waste time with it | 14:30 |

| n008 | kostkon: supauli cool thanks | 14:31 |
| n008 | supauli: does jolla run ubuntu ? | 14:32 |
| Myrtti | n008: jolla is Sailfish, quite different thing. | 14:32 |
| sm00raven | I'm using it with ccsm commands, to run a script I wrote for 9menu, it works fine and all, but if I have any other full screen windows open I have to alt+tab to get to the 9menu popup | 14:33 |
| n008 | Myrtti: I see | 14:33 |
| n008 | I see, its Linux based as well | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | n008: ask in #jolla | 14:35 |

| CorySimmons | ikonia: | 14:36 |

| ActionParsnip | olsonea: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep nvidia thanks | 14:44 |
| noussommesgenial | ubuntu is the best system i ever worked with | 14:44 |
| noussommesgenial | happy to find so many users here | 14:44 |
| olsonea | ActionParsnip: null. | 14:44 |
| noussommesgenial | does someone know a good movie editor on linux ? | 14:45 |
| olsonea | ActionParsnip: though dpkg -l 'nvidia*' returns this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6762354/ | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | olsonea: then it's not an issue, its probably aptitude showing historical guff but dpkg didnt even show 'rc' so they are not in your OS | 14:45 |
| olsonea | ok, thanks. i was trying to purge absolutely everything nvidia related | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | olsonea: oh, I though you said null.....does grep output nothing? | 14:46 |

| noussommesgenial | the actual attempt was that one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zma8tSTsGb8 | 14:47 |
| olsonea | i had installed a PPA for the nvidia proprietary drivers, and it was working fine for months, but an update hosed everything, and i was kicked into 'low graphics mode' where x wouldn't run | 14:47 |
| olsonea | so i purged nvidia*, which at least allowed me to startx | 14:47 |
| olsonea | but now i'm picking up the pieces | 14:48 |
| olsonea | probably a good idea to remove the PPA once you get a stable environment next time? | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | olsonea: indeed | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | olsonea: PPAs do carry a certain risk | 14:48 |

| ujjain1 | add-apt-repository ppa:semiosis/ubuntu-glusterfs-3.4 < what is wrong with this format? | 14:49 |

| vfw | olsonea: and install manually | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | nvidia-curren super easy | 14:50 |
| olsonea | unfortunately, there's a ton of bad advice for newbish users to install via the ppa | 14:50 |

| olsonea | though i thought i could trust the manufacturer. | 14:51 |

| Budd | vfw: possibly not I'll try that. | 14:56 |
| olsonea | kostkon: no, the 'official' repo is several releases old | 14:56 |
| olsonea | i needed the latest because oracle only offered the extensions for the more current versions | 14:57 |

| olsonea | yeah, kostkon had asked me about it | 14:58 |
| olsonea | kostkon: at the time i had to add the ppa, current version from oracle was 4.3.x, the repo was only 4.2 | 14:59 |
| kostkon | olsonea, you need to remove virtulbox-4.2 and install virtulbox-4.3 | 15:00 |

| olsonea | kostkon: i'm now, running the current version | 15:00 |
| kostkon | vfw, no idea | 15:01 |
| olsonea | vfw: in my situation, i needed to get 4.3 to install the extension pack that allowed me to access usb devices on the guest | 15:01 |
| vfw | O | 15:01 |
| SrRaven | So I bought an external HD (USB 3.0) just for Linux so I can use Linux on PC's where I cant install it directly. | 15:02 |
| olsonea | there was no extension pack for the older 4.2 version that was in the repo, and no extension pack in the repo | 15:02 |
| SrRaven | Can I "prepare" it in any way or do I have to have the laptop per se first? | 15:02 |
| vfw | SrRaven: Just install to it. | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | SrRaven: are you wanting to use it in Windows systems as well as Linux? | 15:02 |

| ikonia | "bit the dust" | 15:42 |

| rustuptwist | ikonia: honest (informed) advice - that doesnt hurt :) | 15:46 |

| lingonberry | olsonea, what should I be looking for? | 15:49 |
| olsonea | it should test the left and right audio channels | 15:50 |
| olsonea | you should be listening for sound from the right/left speakers alternately | 15:50 |
| rustuptwist | xangua: just conservation wise. I prefer not to use a 4gb DVD disc for a 750mb iso, that's all | 15:50 |

| boxmein | Whatever could be a reason why chromium on ubunter sucks at playing YouTube videos? Flash is up to date, system is up to date (except Ubuntu, it's 13.04), and it plays on embedded mode but not on tab pages | 15:56 |
| boxmein | As in, it does the staticky thing, then flashes and then works | 15:56 |
| boxmein | Similar to being reloading the video player | 15:57 |

| vfw | boxmein: What exactly is not working well? | 16:06 |
| boxmein | vfw: playing select videos (aka most of them) on youtube's home page displays a "An error occurred." message | 16:06 |
| boxmein | And rarely it occurs so that it, after the error message, reloads something and then works | 16:07 |
| boxmein | it reloads something since the page flashes | 16:07 |
| vfw | boxmein: That may only be because it is not seeing the standard adobe flash player. | 16:07 |
| vfw | boxmein: (Because cromium doesn't use it.) | 16:07 |
| boxmein | why would it even care about the standard adobe flash player? | 16:08 |

| CorySimmons | What does the -1ubuntu1 thing represent in these apt-gets? http://askubuntu.com/a/92021 | 16:21 |
| CorySimmons | Are all ubuntu packages affixed with that? | 16:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | CorySimmons: not sure about the trailing 1, but the intial 1 there means its the first release of that [ackage | 16:22 |
| Pici | CorySimmons: It represents the debian and ubuntu package versions. iirc. -2ubuntu1 would be the 2nd debian build, but the first Ubuntu build of the package for that particular version. | 16:22 |
| ikonia | Pici: probably the most clear description I've ever heard | 16:23 |
| doug_f | Gents I am increasingly seeing some weird dns traffic coming from our linuxmint desktops. They ask our DNS servers for an address an then immediately close the return port responding with ICMP port unreachable. Any thoughts as too why this is happening? | 16:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | ahh, thats nice to know | 16:23 |
| doug_f | Well some are linux mint and some are ubuntu LTS. | 16:23 |

| bit9 | hello #ubuntu. i'm having a major pain figuring out how to restore with "back in time" and wondering if anyone has expert experience? | 16:25 |
| bit9 | many thanks for any help. =) | 16:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | bit9: from the documentation(as poor as it is) it seems to suggest that you simply select the snapshot and choose restore | 16:31 |
| nannes | Getting a ELFCLASS32 mismatch with java (oracle) 7 | 16:31 |
| nannes | how can I check if it's using 64bit libraries or 32bit, and also how can I switch between each other | 16:32 |
| bit9 | hitsujiTMO: i do not see any snapshots, BIT did not seem to copy the root/.config/backintime/config file on backup, i don't know how to hand edit the current root/.config... file | 16:32 |
| bit9 | i have adjusted the host, user settings with no luck | 16:33 |

| ubottu | jasonham1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 16:34 |

| sudormrf | TJ-, are you available? | 16:34 |
| vfw | bit9: It depends on how you copy the files, but even if permissons need changing afterwards, not a problem, you can fix it. | 16:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | bit9: I see. Unfortunately its not documented and their site only seems to have updated their problem section up until 2009 so it doesn't seem to be well maintained. it would be best to try and contact the devs directly | 16:35 |

| Sirisian|Work | Does anyone know if the NOPASSWD entries work for cronjob? I put "sirisian ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/sirisian/Desktop/ubuntu/foo.sh" into visudo as the last line. I can run foo.sh as the user sirisian and I have it echo out whoami into a log. When I put it into a cronjob it echos out my user, but all the sudo commands fail. One is just a simple sudo ln command to create a symbolic link between two absolute paths. Does the file | 16:36 |
| Sirisian|Work | require special permissions? | 16:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | Sirisian|Work: using the NOPASSWD entry is not supported here | 16:37 |
| vfw | I don't know about backintime-gnome (or backintime-kde), never used it, (reading the link you gave now... | 16:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Sirisian|Work: but yes it should work | 16:37 |
| rustuptwist | im sure I could google this but my 13yr son just asked if Minecraft works on Ubuntu? | 16:37 |
| Sirisian|Work | hitsujiTMO, do you know a better channel for help on this subject? | 16:37 |
| vfw | bit9: ... and I don't know what it is you are trying to do either... | 16:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | Sirisian|Work: why not run the cron job as root and use su - USER ? | 16:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | Sirisian|Work: here would be good if you want someone to suggest a better way of doing it. Seems like you're going about the task the wrong way | 16:39 |
| Sirisian|Work | hitsujiTMO, one moment. That might work. Would tha allow any command to run right? | 16:39 |
| vfw | bit9: (In other words, you need to give more specific information about what it is you are doing, or wanting to do.) | 16:39 |
| bit9 | vfw: i backed up /home/me from old machine, reinstalled with encrypted new setup, and want to restore /home/me onto new machine, but i don't have a BIT config file from old machine | 16:39 |
| === keee is now known as w0rmie | ||
| vfw | bit9: Define "BIT config" | 16:39 |
| bit9 | so i have ubuntu great but all my files are in BIT on /media/external | 16:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | Sirisian|Work: can you explain what the end goal is? | 16:39 |
| vfw | bit9: "BIT"? Is that user name? | 16:40 |
| jjmalina | is it possible to have a user's cron run under UTC vs the local time? | 16:40 |
| bit9 | BIT config = /root/.config/backintime/config, a text file with parameters for BIT, i can pastebin if you like | 16:40 |
| Sirisian|Work | hitsujiTMO, Update the user's timezone. I have to run "dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata" from the user's session to update the time in the upper right. | 16:40 |
| rustuptwist | ikonia: ok back. the gist of what I was saying is that even if/when i get his HP working back on win7 I still want to get him to consider and/or put Ubuntu on his HP cause where i am windows is not really a long term viable option. So I have now in front of me dvd's and we are rectifying the win7 on the HP(pavilliondv2000) When its up and running what is your recomnedation for it re: ubuntu? | 16:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | Sirisian|Work: that could be just run as a cronjob on root, but why does it need to be run in the first place? you should only have to set the tzdata once | 16:41 |
| vfw | bit9: Someone that has experienc with backintime may be able to help you, I have not used it and have no experince with it. All I've done is to copy all files from the /home/user-name/ to a external drive and then copy them back. | 16:42 |
| bit9 | vfw: BIT = backintime-gnome package | 16:42 |
| bit9 | vfw: define "copy" (rsync, cp, etc.?), and after you recopied back did you not have permissions trouble (executables becoming read/write only, etc.)? | 16:43 |
| bit9 | vfw: i have tried deja-dup and v22.0 keeps failing to backup properly and "restore" deja-dup does not give me all my files back | 16:44 |
| Sirisian|Work | hitsujiTMO, Well when the command it run in the root cronjob the command doesn't update the timezone for the user. Even if you restart. It's very peculiar. If I run it from the command line it works. | 16:44 |
| vfw | bit9: From what I'm reading, I see that backintime is an application to restore the whole system back to the state it was before, (not just the personal files). | 16:44 |
| Sirisian|Work | is* | 16:44 |
| bit9 | vfw: so i tried sudo cp -p but ran into permissions problems, now i'm on "back in time" and can't see the snapshots | 16:44 |
| vfw | bit9: .... but if you see where the files are, just copy them and that should be that. | 16:44 |
| === jasonham1 is now known as jasomham | ||
| bit9 | vfw: ok, let's see if BIT's invocation of rsync will do the trick! thanks! | 16:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | Sirisian|Work: tzdata is a system wide setting. not a user setting, hence why you need sudo. seems like something else is going wrong. | 16:45 |
| vfw | bit9: See my pm | 16:45 |

| donny_ | vfw: hitsujiTMO: set perms correctly this time | 17:28 |
| donny_ | in any case, glxinfo looks like it finds everything i want, and my opengl applications seem to work, and unity desktop seems clunky and awkward as ever | 17:28 |
| donny_ | do i need to do anything else? | 17:29 |
| imghost | donny_, can you summarise your problem once again :) | 17:29 |
| vfw | donny_: Yea, install xubuntu-desktop ;) | 17:29 |
| imghost | hitsujiTMO, whatsup? | 17:29 |
| donny_ | imghost: well when i updated my nvidia driver using some fancy Ubuntu GUI that i found by clicking "Drivers" in "Settings," i lost X. then hitsujiTMO advised me which packages to remove to get rid of the old driver. | 17:29 |
| devarsh_revelado | I restarted after i installed 1 alternet SD card driver on ubuntu forum. still the issue persist and SD card is not getting detected. (SD card is working fine on the other laptop) | 17:29 |
| kemuffkamelen | How do i get rid of the black borders when i use uvesafb? | 17:29 |
| donny_ | imghost: and then vfw said to remove my Xorg.conf and that got me past lightdm not actually getting me into my desktop environment | 17:30 |
| donny_ | vfw: what does that package do? | 17:30 |
| imghost | donny_, did you reconfigure your lightdm? | 17:30 |
| donny_ | imghost: no i don't know much about lightdm | 17:30 |
| donny_ | but it seems to be working now | 17:30 |
| imghost | ok | 17:30 |
| vfw | donny_: Installs xfce (you complained that Unity was as "clunky as ever"_ | 17:30 |
| donny_ | ahhh :) | 17:31 |
| donny_ | does xfce have compositing? | 17:31 |
| imghost | donny_, paste the output of cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 17:31 |
| vfw | donny_: Was offering an alternative (partially in jest, but... it's what i use, so...) | 17:31 |
| Steve_McQuack | My update manager seems to have frozen at "Configuring linux-image-3.2.0-58-generic". What should I do? | 17:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | donny_: seems compiz it the issue alright. but its difficult to reset without a xsession. | 17:32 |
| vfw | donny_: I don't know what "compositing" is. | 17:32 |
| donny_ | imghost: dunno why but here :) http://codebad.com/~hdon/lightdm.conf | 17:32 |
| donny_ | hitsujiTMO: without an xsession? | 17:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | donny_: the easiest way to fix this is move everything from $HOME and copy everything back one by one | 17:32 |
| donny_ | vfw: you know like KWIN or compiz or xcmpmgr. | 17:32 |
| donny_ | (if i got that last one's name right) | 17:33 |
| vfw | donny_: I don't use compiz fusion | 17:33 |
| donny_ | hitsujiTMO: WHAT | 17:33 |

| vfw | (nor do I need it) | 17:33 |
| imghost | donny_, no problem with lightdm its fine | 17:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | donny_: its to reset compiz you need to be logged in as your user with an xsession running from what i can tell | 17:34 |
| donny_ | vfw: apparently KWIN is way better. a friend of mine who was a very early compiz developer and got a at canonical for a bit says KWIN is much better than compiz or any of its forks | 17:34 |
| devarsh_revelado | hey guyz, i am trying to access inbuilt SD card reader and read an SD card, from my ubuntu ACER aspire laptop. there is nothing mounted in /mnt and /media and dmesg shows some log related to SD (which i am not able to understand) | 17:34 |
| KLVTZ | devarsh_revelado: sudo fdisk -l | 17:34 |
| KLVTZ | devarsh_revelado: do you see your SD card? | 17:34 |
| donny_ | hitsujiTMO: removing Xorg.conf as vfw advised (and you hinted at; i think you told me to regenerate it, does it get automatically regenerated if i removed it?) got me to the desktop. my problem seems basically solved. | 17:34 |
| KLVTZ | devarsh_revelado: assuming it's plugged in. | 17:35 |

| devarsh_revelado | sd card is plugged in and fdisk -l has no output | 17:35 |
| vfw | donny_: Problem is solved because you removed xorg.conf file | 17:35 |
| CorySimmons | nm got it | 17:35 |
| CorySimmons | needed to tab options | 17:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | donny_: you regenerate it with nvidia-xconfig | 17:35 |
| donny_ | devarsh_revelado: are you running fdiks -l with root privs? | 17:35 |
| CorySimmons | hehe | 17:35 |
| donny_ | hitsujiTMO: ah, ok, i've done that. now i'll restart X i guess... | 17:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | donny_: restart lightdm not X | 17:36 |
| donny_ | hitsujiTMO: worked like a charm. yes i did lightdm. | 17:36 |
| devarsh_revelado | yes its with root prevs | 17:36 |
| vfw | donny_: sudo service lightdm restart | 17:36 |
| donny_ | i do know a little bit about this stuff :) | 17:36 |
| kostkon | donny_, to restart x you do sudo service lightdm restart | 17:36 |

| donny_ | devarsh_revelado: could you also show us sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 17:57 |

| hans_ | hi boys and girls | 18:51 |
| fartface | is there a straightforward way to get a log of what e-mails my server is trying to send out on 12.04? | 18:52 |
| tc0nn | Um, like mail.log? | 18:52 |
| hans_ | i have a question is there a up to date list whit laptops how run ubuntu | 18:52 |
| sheadow | @tc0nn: thx. But are you sure? I tryed that already and it didn't work. Refused the login | 18:53 |
| hans_ | http://www.linlap.com/recommended_laptops is out off date | 18:53 |
| fartface | tc0nn: Well, mail.log is basically empty, but according to my VPS provider my server triggered a 100 smtp connections in 10 minutes, and I'm trying to track down where and when this happened as I can't see evidence of this anywhere. | 18:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | sheadow: url escape it | 18:53 |
| tc0nn | sheadow: if its scripted, you might need to double-escape or put it in single quotes. Just depends what is actually calling the cmd. | 18:53 |
| tc0nn | or like hitsuj said | 18:53 |
| mmazing | fartface: if you're continually getting connections outbound, try netstat -ntap and try and see what process is doing it | 18:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | sheadow: %40 | 18:54 |
| mmazing | fartface: also, run that as root | 18:54 |
| fartface | mmazing: and they should show up as "ESTABLISHED" right? | 18:55 |
| sheadow | @hitsujiTMO: seems to work. Thx | 18:55 |
| tc0nn | fartface: whatever is sending may not be using your system to queue up the email, but connecting directly outbound instead. I would fire up wireshark and look for outbound 25 or 465 tcp traffic, but that's assuming you have X setup and whatnot... So maybe tcpdump dst port 25 - if its on 465 (encrypted) you won't get much out of it. | 18:56 |

| temp001 | ...one option is to add "pkill ipython" to the IPython quicklists itself! :)) ..but that isn't fun! :) | 20:19 |
| Curly_Q | Elliotd123 from my CISCO networking classes, UDP packets can and will be dropped which makes it unreliable at times unless you have a good connection as well as bandwidth and other factors. | 20:20 |
| elliotd123 | Yep it's a very good connection - we are directly connected essentially to the UDP source | 20:21 |
| Curly_Q | Such as DCC send on IRC. | 20:21 |
| elliotd123 | the packets are being dropped by the linux kernel | 20:21 |
| elliotd123 | as reported in ifconfig | 20:21 |

| === Whitesquall is now known as whitesquall | ||
| elliotd123 | Debian is not a different kernel... | 20:23 |
| eltigre | hm is there a channel where one can get help on ubuntu? | 20:24 |
| Curly_Q | Have you tried Debian? | 20:24 |
| elliotd123 | well no, but packets are dropped in the kernel, not by the operating system. The linux kernel has a built-in networking layer, so it shouldn't matter which distribution I use | 20:25 |
| Curly_Q | It is possible that your server has lots of processes running in the background swamping down your CPU. | 20:25 |
| elliotd123 | 0.2% CPU usage | 20:25 |
| elliotd123 | Cpu(s): 0.2%us, 0.4%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st | 20:26 |
| elliotd123 | Mem: 32864420k total, 1193776k used, 31670644k free, 193148k buffers | 20:26 |
| Curly_Q | Perhaps your buffer overflow needs to be set to the amount of RAM you have and SWAP file as well. | 20:27 |
| Curly_Q | Just curious. Are all of your RAM modules the same manufactured specs? Same model number and so on? | 20:28 |
| elliotd123 | Yeah they're all identical | 20:28 |
| elliotd123 | so I tried doubling the buffer to 2^18-1 but no effect | 20:28 |
| Curly_Q | I asked that because if you have 1,000 gigs of RAM which just a figure of speach, the RAM module which is the least in speed will controll the other modules which slows down the system. | 20:29 |

| Euclidis | I've got a problem.. | 20:31 |
| elliotd123 | pers3us, I don't think so | 20:31 |
| Curly_Q | Elliotd123, another thing to consider is that when your server is receiving packets of data from other IP's never forget that data packets are THROTTLED by Internet providers and it just may be that your server is working OK but the packets of UDP are being throttled. | 20:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | !root | gisli | 20:33 |
| ubottu | gisli: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:33 |
| elliotd123 | well this is in a datacenter, so it's not going through an ISP | 20:33 |
| pers3us | Curly_Q, elliotd123 said the data packets are being dropped at kernel level. I doubt throttling has anything to do with this atm. | 20:33 |
| pers3us | elliotd123, can you describe the network in a bit more detail. What is the data that is being sent? What kind of connection exists? Is the instance of a server a VM? | 20:34 |
| elliotd123 | The traffic is UDP Multicast MPTS streams. The connection looks like this: Source -> Cisco Switch (Vendor) -> Cisco Switch (Ours) -> Server | 20:36 |

| pers3us | elliotd123, This is weird | 20:37 |
| gisli | ubottu: so you're saying that if there's no root password set on the system then I can't boot into single user mode? | 20:37 |
| ubottu | gisli: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:37 |
| gisli | dayum! | 20:38 |
| elliotd123 | pers3us, yeah - and the overruns counter stays at 0, so maybe it's not a buffer problem? | 20:38 |
| elliotd123 | I'm just trying to figure out why it would be dropping any packets | 20:38 |
| pers3us | elliotd123, I don't think it has anything to do with buffer at all. | 20:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | gisli: no, someone set a root password, doing so is not supported in ubuntu | 20:38 |

| pers3us | elliotd123, One question, I didn't read all your responses, but how did you identify there is a packet loss at your end? | 20:39 |
| Euclidis | How can I definetely fix it? | 20:40 |

| Curly_Q | Ellitoid123, it may sound primitive but have you tried replacing the cables to the server to satisfy any electrical or technical issues? | 20:40 |
| gisli | hitsujiTMO: oh okay, so what is single user mode for then? this is stupid | 20:40 |

| elliotd123 | when we're reading the UDP stream, we're getting discontinuity errors, basically the receiver is looking for the next packet in sequence but is missing some from the squence | 20:41 |
| pers3us | elliotd123, There is an expected degree of loss in case of UDP. I am not sure if 82k packets are to be considered alright. | 20:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | gisli: recovery. but since you or someone set a root password, then you need the root password to access it | 20:41 |
| Lynysys | Hi folks I use a debian based distro - I wish to use eth0 purely for a local network and wlan0 for internet. I can use eth0 without wlan0 working, or wlan0 without eth0 plugged. But never at the same time. My routing table is here if relevant: http://pastebin.com/xEa8zBZb | 20:41 |

| fellayaboy | would anyone know how to create a pxe server but without using ubuntu server..just standard ubuntu | 20:43 |
| mdev | just made changes to /etc/security/limits.conf do I have to reboot the OS for them to take affect? | 20:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | vigneshwaran: start by telling us what exactly is the app you want to install | 20:44 |
| elliotd123 | pers3us, Curly_Q, that sounds like it could be a reasonable explaination. I don't think it's an individual cable, because I have 2 servers with multiple interfaces and they're all getting discontinuity errors. I could believe that crosstalk could be contributing though. | 20:44 |
| vigneshwaran | PuzzleMoppetFullVersion | 20:45 |
| vigneshwaran | PuzzleMoppetFullVersion | 20:45 |
| elliotd123 | We have a lot of cables in there | 20:45 |
| vigneshwaran | HitsujiTMO: PuzzleMoppetFullVersion | 20:45 |
| vigneshwaran | in terminal i want to use which command line. | 20:45 |
| vigneshwaran | give step by step commands | 20:46 |
| Curly_Q | Crosstalk is a big issue with RJ45 cables. | 20:46 |
| elliotd123 | I believe these are all cat5e - maybe I should try replacing some with cat6? If I remember correctly, cat6 has better sheilding... | 20:46 |
| Lynysys | I found the solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531569 | 20:47 |
| Curly_Q | It is not only shielding but remember it is how the cables are trimmed at the connector and sockets. Just one wire that is too long can cause cross talk and other problems. | 20:48 |
| pers3us | elliotd123, I actually have no idea of cables, but will sheilding amount to so much packet loss? | 20:48 |
| rawr | so #httpd kicked me over here.. the default /www/index.html is downloading instead of displaying. ideas? | 20:48 |
| pers3us | Curly_Q, Ah, that sounds reasonable ... | 20:48 |
| jeffrey_f | Lynysys: The network will likely use the route/connection of least resistance. Since eth0 is faster, you may see less use of wlan0. One way to ensure that your network interfaces use eth0 for local and wlan0 for internet is to have separate networks for each with neither connected accross. | 20:48 |
| Curly_Q | Pers3us I teach classes at a Network Academy. :) | 20:49 |
| jeffrey_f | Lynysys: pretty much as the solution suggests, subnets | 20:49 |
| pers3us | Curly_Q, oh! :) I am just a layman then. | 20:49 |

| ubottu | MichNational: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. | 20:51 |
| pers3us | Curly_Q, :D no not at all. Its from Greek Mythology. | 20:51 |
| Curly_Q | I know. The Perseus Project is a website that delves into the ancient Roman and Greek culture. You may want to explore it. | 20:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | rawr: what web server are you using? | 20:52 |
| rostam | Hi I am trying to start dhcp server: service isc-dhcp-server. However, every time, I get the following message: init: isc-dhcp-server main process(...) killed by TERM signal. why? | 20:52 |
| rawr | hitsujiTMO: apache2. It was working , purged apache then reinstalled and now no dice. | 20:53 |
| MichNational | ok ill look. | 20:53 |
| Curly_Q | http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/ | 20:53 |
| MichNational | brb | 20:53 |
| tc0nn | rostam: check your log files in /var/log | 20:53 |
| pers3us | Curly_Q, Ah! well I didn't know about the perseus project, will look into it. | 20:53 |
| Beldar | MichNational, You realize the desktop version of 10.04 is end of life and you do not have repo access. | 20:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | rawr: whats the output of: apt-cache policy apache2 | 20:53 |
| Curly_Q | Pers3us I was taught this by a friend professor about 20 years ago. | 20:54 |
| vigneshwaran | hitsujiTMO: in readme file also there is no instruction s. you just tell the command commands to install tar.bz | 20:54 |
| Curly_Q | I am a Latin and Greek enthusiast. | 20:54 |
| rawr | hitsujiTMO: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/75499da8d5c80150b590 | 20:54 |
| pers3us | Curly_Q, Wow, well I took the name from a book i was reading some years ago. I don't remember the name now. | 20:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | rawr: have you modified any of the apache configs yet? | 20:55 |
| Curly_Q | We learn something new every day. :) | 20:55 |
| pers3us | Curly_Q, I too am kind of a interested in Greek Myth and history, but never got chance to pursue | 20:55 |
| pers3us | Curly_Q, Most certainly .. Thanks for the link btw. | 20:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | vigneshwaran: then you'd have to contact the developer. there's no standard way to install from a tar.bz ... it depends on what the dev set up | 20:56 |
| Curly_Q | Your welcome. | 20:56 |
| pers3us | its quite interesting. | 20:56 |
| pgar23 | hello all, how would I get cairo-dock to auto-start instead of booting up and then clicking launch application? TIA | 20:56 |

| elliotd123 | gn and thanks pers3us | 20:56 |
| Beldar | pgar23, put it in startup applications | 20:56 |
| rawr | hitsujiTMO: yes a tad. i duped the default in sites-available , added a servername, added ServerName localhost to httpd.conf | 20:57 |
| pgar23 | Beldar: where is that located plz? | 20:57 |
| Curly_Q | The Greeks were the forerunners in preserving books and scrolls so we today can enjoy them. | 20:57 |
| pers3us | elliotd123, np! :) though i wasn't much help. it was all Curly_Q | 20:57 |
| rawr | hitsujiTMO: and restarted of course | 20:57 |
| fellayaboy | Does anyone know using a standard ubuntu distro, can you turn off and on a dhcp server ...not a remote dhcp | 20:57 |
| Beldar | pgar23, In the menu | 20:57 |

| AdityaRaj | hey guys i am trying to run an adobe air app on my ubuntu 12.04 system but unable to do so.. the app is called long tail pro.. can anyone help me please ?? | 21:06 |
| Polyonymous | But it's still kinda worrying | 21:06 |
| jhutchins | Polyonymous: Your problem monitor might not be supplying it's capacity correctly. Some low-end or older ones don't. | 21:07 |
| Beldar | AdityaRaj, Is there a linux version? | 21:07 |
| AdityaRaj | Beldar, ubuntu 12.04 lts i think.. | 21:07 |
| jhutchins | AdityaRaj: Isn't that a windows app? | 21:07 |
| Polyonymous | Ok. So I just need to tell it the resolution for it to work normally | 21:07 |
| bekks | AdityaRaj: If there is a linux version, why do you try to run the adobe air version? | 21:07 |
| Polyonymous | But I'm more concerned about it not booting into failsafe | 21:08 |
| AdityaRaj | jhutchins, it is an adobe air app.. ideally should work on linux as well | 21:08 |
| AdityaRaj | bekks, there is no linux version available | 21:08 |
| AdityaRaj | so far i have also tried installing adobe air on wine and running it. the app starts but has issues like unable to connect with internet and stuff | 21:09 |
| AdityaRaj | another option i dont want to go for is using a vm | 21:09 |
| === hdevalence|away is now known as hdevalence | ||
| jhutchins | AdityaRaj: You need the Air runtime environment, which it appears is available for Linux, but you probably have to download it from the Adobe site. | 21:10 |
| MichNational | anything i try above 10.04 fails i see it booting up and every thing but when it gos to the sign in screen it gos black but it is running and i have to kill it with the power button then i see a quick glimmer of the sign in screen. | 21:10 |
| bekks | AdityaRaj: That will be your best bet, since Adobe Air for Linux is discontinued since 2011. | 21:10 |
| jhutchins | AdityaRaj: They have both 32 and 64b versions. | 21:10 |
| Beldar | MichNational, The cd does not have upgrade options, is that what you want? | 21:10 |
| AdityaRaj | jhutchins, i think long tail pro requires me to have a more recent version of adobe air | 21:11 |
| MichNational | i have all of the live cds i just cant use them | 21:11 |
| MichNational | i can run them on vbox | 21:12 |
| Beldar | MichNational, You spoke of the cd as if looking for an upgrade, use nicks here as well. | 21:12 |
| MichNational | nicks? | 21:12 |
| AdityaRaj | MichNational, what are you trying to do with them ? | 21:12 |
| Beldar | !tab | MichNational | 21:13 |
| AdityaRaj | bekks, long tail pro requires a more recent version of adobe air | 21:13 |
| ubottu | MichNational: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:13 |
| MichNational | ok | 21:13 |

| CoDEmanX | Hi | 21:15 |
| Jordan_U | blz: Did you create your RAID array out of member partitions or member drives? | 21:15 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset | MichNational | 21:15 |
| ubottu | MichNational: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 21:15 |

| k1l | CoDEmanX: the package exists in universe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&searchon=names&keywords=pastebinit make sure universe is enabled | 21:16 |
| AdityaRaj | jhutchins, bekks shouldn't i be able to use wine to get this working ? | 21:16 |
| bekks | AdityaRaj: Thats more effort than just using a vm. | 21:16 |
| Beldar | MichNational, try to post what is actually needed, we don't need a brb, answer questions and if addressing someone use there nick. | 21:17 |
| MichNational | ok | 21:17 |

| Jordan_U | glundgren: I just google'd the error message, saw an explanation that it was caused by an improper /etc/mtab (usually because /etc/mtab couldn't be written to due to a full root FS) and knew from memory that you can make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts (with some reduced functionality). | 21:43 |

| glundgren | Jordan_U: its like the space keeps getting filled, without having any file | 21:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | botsis: by default everything will run thru your intel gpu. with bumblebee you need to use: optirun <appname> to run the app thru the nvidia gpu | 21:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | botsis for the nvidia proprietary driver you need to also have bumblebee-nvidia installed | 21:53 |

| hitsujiTMO | SiliconG: 13.10 has apache 2.4.6 php5.5 and openssl 1.0.1e ... is that not good enough? | 22:11 |
| axizor | Hey guys, I have a networking question | 22:11 |
| Camblonie | thank you | 22:11 |
| schultza | axizor: so do i. Whats yours? | 22:11 |
| SiliconG | really is 13.10 new? | 22:11 |
| bekks | SiliconG: Just check on packages.ubuntu.com | 22:12 |
| schultza | SiliconG: Since October 2013. | 22:12 |
| axizor | I'm running a samba server and my router has gigabit ports and when I upload files to the server, it transfers at gigabit speeds (~110MB/s) but downloading files from the server to the client is slow, around 9 MB/s | 22:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | since 10/13 | 22:12 |
| axizor | i dont know if its the server or router | 22:12 |
| schultza | axizor: I think we need a little more information about how your network is setup. Is your samba server on the other side of your router? | 22:13 |
| === lili_ is now known as lili-nya | ||
| axizor | yes schultza | 22:13 |
| schultza | axizor: Does your samba server only have 10Base-T cards? | 22:13 |
| axizor | no, gigabit | 22:13 |
| axizor | network under system prefs says 1000mb/s connection | 22:14 |
| axizor | so i know it's getting it | 22:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: you got a crossover cable? | 22:14 |
| schultza | Crossover for... oh. .for testing directly to the computer. | 22:14 |
| axizor | hitsujiTMO: crossover? what do you mean? | 22:14 |
| ausjke | is there a real light-weight webkit browser for me to use over ssh -X? | 22:15 |
| axizor | the server it just connected to the router via cat6 or 5e dont remember | 22:15 |
| ausjke | something like SDL-based, so I don't need that 200MB X-libraries | 22:15 |
| Sidze_ | I have set up eth0:0 with 172.16.0.0/16 network and I would like to configure my virtualbox vm with bridge network on this virtual eth0 interface but the th0:0 isn't available in the list of interface when I configure the vm network... anybody know if is works ? | 22:15 |
| schultza | axizor: Do you have direct access to the client and samba server at the same time physically? (in front of you?) | 22:15 |
| axizor | yes schultza | 22:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: a crossover cable can allow you to connect the server directly to the client and test without the router | 22:15 |
| axizor | you know, it used to work fine with another router | 22:16 |
| axizor | i just got a new one because i was having problems with the old one | 22:16 |
| axizor | ah, thanks hitsujiTMO didn't know that | 22:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable | 22:16 |
| schultza | axizor: Those cat5e/6 cables internally have 8 wires which are physically configured at the ports. A crossover cable has them differently configured than a straight through cable. A crossover cable here can allow you to directly connect both computers to each other to run a test for computer to computer speed. If Samba at that point is only uploading at 10 Mb/s, then you have a samba configuration issue. | 22:17 |
| schultza | axizor: no changes to the samba server, computer or samba itself during the new routeR? | 22:17 |
| axizor | should i reinstall samba? because I know it did work at one time | 22:17 |
| axizor | correct schultza | 22:17 |
| schultza | What happened to the old router? | 22:18 |
| axizor | it was very unstable with the internet connection | 22:18 |
| axizor | dropped repeatedly | 22:18 |
| axizor | tried installing ddwrt, gargoyle/openwrt | 22:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: do you still have it? | 22:18 |
| === Guest9865 is now known as Sleepnbum | ||
| axizor | no luck' | 22:18 |
| axizor | yes i still have it | 22:18 |
| axizor | but samba is slow on that now :) | 22:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: test it with that. should still be able to operate as a dhcp + switch | 22:18 |
| axizor | i did before I got the new router | 22:19 |
| === lucyinthesky is now known as laurapalmer | ||
| Esor | Can I ask for help? | 22:19 |
| axizor | it was so weird. like when switching from gargoyle to straight up openwrt, gigabit speeds went away and I was stuck at around 10MB/s download | 22:19 |
| schultza | Can you check to see if the router has a speed limit on the ports being used by both samba server and client? | 22:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: is it the same with any other type of service? http/nfs/sftp ? | 22:19 |
| schultza | Esor: do not ask to ask a question, just ask your question, please. | 22:20 |
| SiliconG | not an LTS | 22:20 |
| axizor | haven't tried hitsujiTMO | 22:20 |
| SiliconG | and I want to build the newest on 12 | 22:20 |
| axizor | only server on my box is samba and dlna | 22:20 |
| schultza | Is dlna slower now? | 22:20 |
| axizor | i haven't noticed and don't know how to test dlna speed | 22:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: install openssh and test sftp speeds | 22:20 |
| schultza | that will work. :) | 22:21 |
| axizor | ok i will do that hitsujiTMO, is there an easy way to do that? | 22:21 |
| schultza | well. I installed network-manager-openvpn. Set up my vpn connection and it worked on connecting. But when I connected, my dns resolving starts getting "REFUSED". Is there some sort of firewall on dnsmasq? | 22:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: on the server: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 22:21 |
| Esor | I have got a weird issue. Primusrun works fine with nvidia and I can launch everything. The problem is whenever I use optirun It cannot find some libraries. It's pretty weird. Here's log from the console: http://pastebin.com/QeyKVWUz Please help. | 22:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: from the client: sftp user@ip.address.of.server then find a large file and: get filename | 22:22 |
| schultza | Esor: what vid card are you using? | 22:23 |
| schultza | By the sounds of it, you have Intel. | 22:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | Esor: looks like a bug in a script looking for '/usr/$LIB/libGL.so.1' instead of "/usr/$LIB/libGL.so.1" | 22:23 |
| Esor | I've got Intel and Nvidia | 22:24 |
| schultza | are both active or are you only using one of them right now? | 22:24 |
| Esor | I use primusrun or optirun to run apps on nvidia | 22:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Esor: whats the output of: cat /etc/issue | 22:24 |
| Esor | Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 22:25 |
| Esor | the weird thing is that primusrun works perfect fine | 22:25 |
| Esor | but optirun cannot find libraries | 22:25 |
| axizor | hitsujiTMO: what client should I use to connect via sftp | 22:26 |
| axizor | (i'm new to networking) | 22:26 |
| axizor | im on windows | 22:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: filezilla then | 22:26 |
| axizor | ok | 22:26 |
| Esor | Do you have any idea what might be wrong | 22:26 |
| k-rad | could someone kindly tell me if its possible to enable desktop effects in 12.03 lts ? | 22:26 |
| schultza | hitsujiTMO + Esor: can <https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/334> help his issue? | 22:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Esor: whats wrong is a somehow a misswritten script. the paths are being quoted with ' instead of "" | 22:27 |
| yangm | hello, I'm having problems while following this tutorial http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto when I do the push it will not update the website neither will give me errors. any ideas? | 22:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Esor: are you using any ppas? | 22:27 |
| Esor | xedgers | 22:27 |
| axizor | hitsujiTMO: whats the default port for open-ssh? | 22:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: 22 | 22:28 |
| axizor | should login credentials be same as local user on the server? | 22:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | esor then their optirun script is using the wrong quote string. '' instead of "" | 22:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: server | 22:28 |
| schultza | axizor: on the server. | 22:28 |
| Esor | hitsujiTMO, so why is primusrun working finr? | 22:29 |
| Esor | fine | 22:29 |
| yangm | I'm running a Ubuntu server on an AWS instance | 22:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | Esor: its not using the same script. | 22:29 |
| axizor | thanks, im in | 22:29 |
| yangm | *an | 22:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | Esor: whats the output of: which optirun | 22:29 |
| axizor | ok sftp transfers are running at around 100mb/s speeds, not gigabit :| | 22:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: is it showing speed in MB/s or Mb/s ? | 22:31 |
| axizor | MB/s | 22:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | saying 100MB/s ? | 22:32 |
| Pebbe | Sounds about right | 22:32 |
| axizor | no averaging around 10MB/s | 22:32 |

| Jordan_U | glundgren: What makes you think that space is being used up wothout files being written to? | 22:33 |
| axizor | hitsujiTMO: uploading to sftp is much faster, close to gigabit speeds. why do you think i'm not getting this speed downloading? | 22:33 |
| schultza | axizor: We are going to need a crossover cat5e/6 cable to bypass the router to test direct. I think there maybe a configuration issue with the router. | 22:33 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: theres absolutely no chance of 11GB of free space be filled in 1 sec | 22:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: network card/driver/router | 22:34 |
| axizor | ok schultza... dont think i have one right now | 22:34 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: and it says that has 11GB of free space, but, for the sys, its like have no free space | 22:34 |
| botsis | i find on google it's a screenshot bug? i tried to take a screen the first time i launched it, not the other times though | 22:34 |
| axizor | if its gigabit from client - router - server, then why not server - router - client? clearly all devices are demonstrating they can operate at gigabit speeds... | 22:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | botsis: weird | 22:35 |
| Jordan_U | glundgren: What filesystem are you using? | 22:35 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: i dont know, its the ubuntu image of amazon EC2 | 22:35 |
| danialbehzadi | hey all! I just entered "sudo startx" in terminal and I can not loging to my account in lightdm anymore. what's the problem? | 22:35 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: the space doesnt get filled, i still have 11GB free | 22:35 |
| botsis | will restart steam see whats up | 22:35 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: but the sys behaves like it doesnt have space | 22:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | danialbehzadi: NEVER run startx with sudo. its changed some of your files to be owned by root | 22:36 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: im starting another server, a new server, but if you know some trick to fix, it will be very helpful | 22:36 |

| waly_ | guys I wanna setup ramdisk on my machine and play minecraft through it. I found a guide online but not sure about it. I wanna know if there has been major changes between ubuntu 10.10 to ubuntu 13.10 | 22:37 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: nop | 22:37 |
| waly_ | here is the guide http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/204930-howto-ramdisk-minecraft-in-ubuntu-1010/ | 22:38 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: it worked, doesnt raise any errors | 22:38 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: but if i open this file in vim, for example, vim says that has no swap space | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | waly_: I doubt that you'll gain much from such a setup, the kernel is good at caching file contents for performance automatically. | 22:39 |
| danialbehzadi | hitsujiTMO: Thanks, I did it by sudo chown danialbehzadi:danialbehzadi ~/.* | 22:39 |
| waly_ | you mean that I won't need a ramdisk | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | glundgren: What about "echo not empty > /tmp/test_small_file"? | 22:40 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: man, now it is working | 22:40 |
| waly_ | I was able to get from 50 fps to over 120 fps in windows, but not sure how it works in ubuntu | 22:40 |

| kruger | Evening. | 22:44 |
| axizor | hitsujiTMO, in your opinion: should I test speeds between two other devices on the router, if they do work at gigabit speeds just do a clean install of ubuntu? | 22:44 |

| kruger | When running the command "ssh -vvv -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -lappe server.com > text.file", it creates the text.file, but does not fill it with anything. Is there something i have missunderstood with the output command? | 22:46 |
| Jordan_U | glundgren: I think you'll find that something is creating a *lot* of small files. | 22:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | axizor: test different ports first. logically it suggests a config issue but difficult to know without thorough testing. one thing you could try is install and setup samba on a live iso and test that | 22:46 |
| axizor | good idea hitsujiTMO | 22:46 |
| botsis | hitsujiTMO, it just froze completely. had to get into tty to reboot my system. will try to run it without optirun | 22:46 |

| Jordan_U | glundgren: "i" for inodes. Ext4 allocates a certain number of inodes at filesystem creation time. Each file requires an inode. | 22:47 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: theres a way to fix it? like a magic command? :P | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | glundgren: You either need to delete a bunch of files (size of the files does not matter) and prevent more from building up, or make a new ext4 fs with allocation for more inodes. | 22:49 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: i found a blog post talking about it, im searching for a folder with lots of files | 22:50 |

| blz | Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu-server to an LVM-on-RAID5 volume. The installer runs its course and then fails when trying to install the bootloader. I've tried installing to /dev/sda, /dev/mapper/md-0 and /dev/mapper/md-1, to no avail. What gives? | 22:59 |
| ikonia | glundgren:"restored" the disk | 22:59 |
| ikonia | glundgren: can you explain ? | 22:59 |
| blz | Also please note that these are 3 gpt-partitioned drives (>2Tb) | 22:59 |
| ikonia | glundgren: it seems unlikely you can restore data if you don't know how to remove a directory | 22:59 |
| glundgren | ikonia: i had to detach, create another, and then restore the volume, something like that | 22:59 |

I just downloaded a program called Sound converter from the ubuntu software store. Can someone help me setup what what I'm tryying to do? | 23:06 |

| Jordan_U | glundgren: /var/tmp/ clearly has nothing in it, I'm not sure why you suspected that it was the problem but it's a red herring. | 23:17 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: yeah, im doing that search i saw in the blog again | 23:18 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: i deleted but nothing changed to the inodes | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | glundgren: If you just run "sudo find / -xdev > /tmp/file_list.txt" you should be able to easily see the problem just by scrolling through the resulting file. | 23:19 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: i will try | 23:19 |

| Mace268 | can someone tell me how to restart unity without it then being tied to a terminal? All my desktop icons have vanished. | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | glundgren: sudo mkdir /var/tmp/ # It's important to have this directory. | 23:20 |
| glitsj16 | Mace268: Alt+F2, type "unity --replace" and hit enter | 23:23 |

| glundgren | /var/spool - 1190549 files | 23:23 |
| Mace268 | glitsj16, thank you | 23:23 |
| glundgren | i thought it was the /tmp | 23:24 |
| glundgren | but is that /spool | 23:24 |
| glundgren | theres a folder called mqueue | 23:24 |
| glundgren | that is the source of the problem | 23:24 |
| glundgren | Jordan_U: found it man!!! | 23:24 |

| hitsujiTMO | glundgren: find the package responsible you you can get more info on the cause | 23:26 |
| glundgren | hitsujiTMO: thanks! | 23:26 |
| glundgren | hitsujiTMO: sendmail-bin: /var/spool/mqueue | 23:26 |
| glundgren | its a configuration of sendmail ? | 23:26 |
| glundgren | that is causing it? | 23:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | looks like it. | 23:27 |
| glundgren | i guess uninstalling is not an option... | 23:27 |
| Mace268 | glitsj16, that took unity completely down lol, had to ctrl-alt-backspace | 23:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | depends on what you're using sendmail for | 23:28 |

| daftykins | unless you were faking | 23:29 |
| glitsj16 | Mace268: it shouldn't do that .. is your unity back to normal? | 23:29 |
| quaresma | not lol | 23:29 |
| quaresma | it has a space on the begining | 23:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | glundgren: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/doc8.12/op-sh-1.html might be a good idea to read up on what its for. seems to be in essence, your outbox. would you normally be sending 1000000 mails? | 23:29 |
| Mace268 | glitsj16, yes after the ctrl-alt-backspace it came up fine | 23:29 |
| jeffrey_f | quaresma: need new password now :D | 23:29 |
| glundgren | hitsujiTMO: absolutely nothing, it was a clean ubuntu with apache and php | 23:30 |
| glundgren | hitsujiTMO: maybe its a virus, or was hacked? | 23:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | glundgren: maybe the servers been compromised and used for spam ? | 23:30 |
| glundgren | hitsujiTMO: its amazon ec2 instance | 23:31 |

| ROPA | has anyone here actually written an entire operating system and home folder to a ram drive and ran ubuntu completely from ram???? | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | ROPA: Yes. | 23:38 |
| ROPA | Jordan_U can you give some details or a web reference/how to do it??? | 23:38 |
| Jordan_U | ROPA: And you can get a decent approximation of it by booting an Ubuntu LiveCD with the kernel parameter "toram". You'll find that it's not a holy grail of performance though. | 23:39 |

| ROPA | Jordan_U I'd like to install 16 GB of ram in my desktop and run EVERYTHING from ram, during periods of low processor usage, I'd like to slow the clock speed of the system down so it doesn't use as much power. | 23:41 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | hi guys | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | ROPA: If you have 16 GiB of RAM then for the most part every file you read will be cached in RAM and never re-read from disk a second time anyway (depending on what type of things you do of course). | 23:42 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | does anybody is online? i've got a probelm wirh xubuntu.. i dunno why firefox lags like an horse while chromium is really smooth and speedy | 23:42 |
| ROPA | Jordan_U I haven't heard or 'toram' before, will look it up. I have an SSD, which is fast, but concerned about the finite number of write cycles before it wears out....so thought I might play with a ram drive. | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | ROPA: Also, putting the CPU into low C-staes when idle (much better than just under clocking WRT power usage) is also done automatically. | 23:43 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | nobody knows? | 23:43 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | i've got a probelm wirh xubuntu.. i dunno why firefox lags like an horse while chromium is really smooth and speedy | 23:45 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | *with | 23:45 |
| ROPA | Jordan_U I've had a watt meter hooked up to my system for several weeks, I see almost no variation in the amount of power the system uses though.......which is why I started thinking about ram drive and lower cpu clocking speeds. | 23:45 |
| jeffrey_f | AlcoLeVecchiPens: You may want to disable all add-ons or just back up your bookmarks then remove the .mozilla folder from your home folder. Usually this starts a clean/vanilla firefox next time you launch firefox. | 23:46 |
| Esor | hitsujiTMO, ~$ which optirun | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | ROPA: Try running a LiveCD with and without "toram" and with and without underclocking and check with your watt meter to see if it helps. My guess is that it won't. | 23:47 |
| ROPA | Jordan_U thanks so much for the insight, and to all who run this irc channel. | 23:47 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | jeffrey_f, thank you, do you think it can be the fact i have a lot of history and all the other datas saved from firefox such as cookies?? anyway i deleted the cache | 23:47 |

| hitsujiTMO | Esor: can you pastebin the contents of: /usr/bin/optirun | 23:47 |
| humbolt1 | partition alignment is giving me trouble, can somebody give guidance?! | 23:48 |
| Jordan_U | humbolt1: What problem are you having specifically? | 23:48 |
| humbolt1 | parted says my partition is not in "optimal" alignment. blockdev --getalignoff says it is. | 23:48 |
| Esor | hitsujiTMO, ELF | 23:48 |
| Esor | that's inside | 23:48 |
| humbolt1 | so, how important is this. I have an SSD. | 23:49 |
| jeffrey_f | AlcoLeVecchiPens: that could be a small part of it. Many times it is a mis-behaving or even partially corrupt add-on. However, starting fresh is easier. If firefox is faster, then troubleshooting the many variables | 23:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | Esor: ahh its a binary. | 23:49 |
| humbolt1 | Jordan_U: One could say, my problem is insufficient knowledge about what is important and what is not. | 23:50 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | jeffrey_f, thank you, i'm gonna remove mozilla folder and try if somethings gonna change | 23:50 |
| humbolt1 | Jordan_U: With an SSD, do I have to respect the 2048 byte/block/don't-know alignment?! | 23:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Esor: I'd have to go thru every file in the package to find the miswritten script. But i don't have it i'm afraid. hopefully a fix will be applied soon | 23:51 |
| humbolt1 | Jordan_U: or is sector alignment enough? | 23:51 |
| Jordan_U | humbolt1: If your partitions are aligned on MiB boundaries then you're OK. Every modern tool worth using (including Ubuntu's installer) automatically aligns to MiB boundaries. | 23:51 |
| humbolt1 | Jordan_U: I am on 12.04 LTS | 23:52 |
| humbolt1 | Jordan_U: is that sufficiently modern? | 23:52 |

| Jordan_U | humbolt1: If you want to know more about the details http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/advice.html is informative, but what I've said is all you really need to know. | 23:53 |
| humbolt1 | Jordan_U: Which means, using fdisk or cfdisk, I can just not give a shit and let them do, whatever they propose?! | 23:53 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | have a good night guys, thank you | 23:54 |
| gmachine_24 | er, language please | 23:54 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| Jordan_U | humbolt1: Please watch your language. I think fdisk and cfdisk only recently (can't remember how recently) started aligning on MiB boundaries by default. I would recommend parted or one of its front ends like GParted. | 23:56 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | guys, which is the OT chan? | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:56 |
| AlcoLeVecchiPens | thank you | 23:57 |
