[00:00] millerti, you really only have one viable option, install 13.10 fresh, which is probably a best solution. multiple upgrades are not really the best approach. [00:00] millerti: I thought you had to specify -d after that do-release-upgrade? [00:00] SuperLag: Yeah, I just found that googling. [00:01] millerti, Or, this one other option, but it's development only, do-release-upgrade -d which will pull in 14.04 .. but that's a topic for #ubuntu+1 [00:01] oh crap [00:01] yeah, that's not what he wants [00:01] Heh. I'm not sure what I'm going to get now. :) [00:01] I'm at a point where I can cancel. [00:01] millerti: I'm assuming you don't want +1 [00:02] But I thought you had to upgrade on release at a time. 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 [00:02] hitsujiTMO: so just for clarification they are http://paste.ubuntu.com/6771124, and http://paste.ubuntu.com/6771123 respectively [00:02] anyone know how to virtualize a windows 7 partition on ubuntu? [00:02] millerti: I'm not sure on that one [00:02] q [00:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaringUpgrades [00:02] bashing, anything? [00:03] Oops. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes [00:03] Users of other Ubuntu releases need to upgrade first to 13.04, and then to 13.10. [00:03] nishanth: VMware Workstation lets you specify a physical volume for a VM. I'm not sure about Virtualbox. I'm pretty sure KVM doesn't. [00:03] zack__: try this, from the liveDVD ->sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot ,sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda , sudo umount /mnt . [00:03] millerti, do-release-upgrade may work if you have the Promt=normal selected in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, but your likely to ahve trouble. [00:03] damn i think i crashed my os [00:03] lol [00:03] RIght now, it's set to lts. Should I change it to normal? [00:04] SuperLag any documentations on how it is done? [00:04] Im actually running from ubuntu that is installed on the hard drive right now [00:04] nishanth: that's a question for #vmware [00:04] nishanth: are you talking about virtualbox? [00:04] nooob: ok. not seeing anything crazy there. lets check the smart info: sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit [00:04] millerti, Promt-lts from 12.04-LTS using do-release-upgrades should return NULL on upgrades. [00:05] zack__: why do you think the hard disk did not get a mbr, because the flash drive gets one to be bootable [00:05] SuperLag: you can get all info from the downloaded .deb thru "dpkg-deb -I /path/to/.deb" [00:05] KI7MT: Well, it's set to LTS, and it's telling me that it will upgrade 100 packages and delete 4. [00:06] Delete 5, actually. [00:06] zack__: lemme think about that a bit, not sure we want to try this when the partition is mounted. Just best to reboot to the install medium and run the code. [00:06] No, that's not what it says. Doesn't matter. [00:06] Hmm Ill try that and report back then [00:06] I actually installed from the flash drive but I could do a dvd [00:06] Let's see. I'm going to get linux-image-3.13.0-4-generic [00:06] millerti, they may be in-distro upgrades, but worse case you will probably end up with 12.10 as the next release install. [00:07] milamber i want to use the windows partition on my drive while i am in ubuntu [00:07] You mean I'd be upgrading from 12.10 LTS to regular 12.10? [00:07] After this many versions, I'd think these things would be nailed down a little better. :) [00:08] milamber is it possible to use vbox for that? [00:08] hitsujiTMO: 6771164 [00:08] hitsujiTMO, hello, can you please help me with my question? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [00:09] Interesting. Kernel 3.13 does not correspond to any past Ubuntu release. [00:09] 3.13 is not released [00:09] nishanth: no, if you are dual booting, you can not use the other os, you have to restart and select the other partition [00:09] ikonia: Good point. [00:09] milamber: why do you expect a pre-release kernel that doesn't exist to corispond to an older ubuntu release. [00:09] millerti, Yes, using do-release-upgrade normally takes relesae +1 .. but with LTS, it's LTS to LTS, in lue of having the next LTS available, I believe it reverts to Prompt=normal mose, and thus, will upgrade to 12.10. [00:10] *mode [00:10] i can get my bluetooth headphones connectd as a headset to ubutnu 13.10; but i cant hear audio from my computer. i tried installing bluemon and connecting audio sink; but it fails. ideas? [00:10] how i can run bash script with desktop icon? [00:10] ikonia: not sure what you are talking about . . . [00:10] i tried use Exec=/home/loki/start.sh [00:10] 00:09 < millerti> Interesting. Kernel 3.13 does not correspond to any past Ubuntu release. [00:10] milamber: thats what I'm talking about [00:10] but recieve error that file can't be executed [00:11] why are you expecting a non-existant kernel to correspond to previous ubuntu releases ? [00:11] ikonia: i am milamber, that is millerti [00:11] dooooooh [00:11] loa: chmod +x /home/loki/start.sh [00:11] milamber: so sorry, my apologies [00:11] hitsujiTMO, already [00:11] ikonia: no worries [00:11] Yeah. So basically, I'd like to upgrade to 13.10, and do-release-upgrade doesn't even tell me which version it's trying to upgrade to. [00:11] hitsujiTMO, i am not so noob) [00:11] millerti: what version are you upgrading from ? [00:11] looks like it must be reall executable. [00:11] not just script [00:12] ikonia: 12.10 LTS [00:12] millerti: 12.10 is not lts [00:12] maybe i need Exec=bash /home/loki/start.sh [00:12] ? [00:12] Ah. Let me see... [00:12] loa: run file against the script [00:12] How do I tell which version I have? [00:12] millerti: lsb_release a [00:12] millerti: lsb_release -a [00:12] ikonia, ? [00:12] script is not file? [00:12] loa: run the command "file" against the script [00:13] AHA. It IS 12.04 [00:13] :) [00:13] millerti: ok, so do-release upgrade so not upgrade at all, as there is no lts release to upgrade to [00:13] millerti: you'd have to tell it to upgrade to a non-lts release, which would be 13.10 [00:13] Well, it offers me lots of packages to upgrade when I do that. [00:13] millerti: when you do what ? [00:14] millerti: you can update to 12.04.4 [00:14] nooob: also looking healthy. please run fsck against each partition [00:14] And a kernel version that doesn't exist yet. So if Prompt=lts, I think it's trying to go to the beta of 14.04 [00:14] millerti: which is just patch updates/bug fixes [00:14] nooob: run fsck -f [00:14] ikonia, yes looks like i am noob and i have problems with permissions. [00:14] thx [00:14] millerti: what are you talking about "the kernel version doesn't exist" [00:14] do-release-upgrade wont jump from 12.04 to 13.10 wiht Prompt=normal .. dont think -d will either. [00:14] millerti: what kernel version ? [00:14] Current kernel is 3.2.0-58 [00:14] KI7MT: you can only update to 12.10 to 13.04 to 13.10 [00:14] millerti: and ? [00:15] I know this. [00:15] And with Prompt=lts, it wants to upgrade to lernel 3.13.0 [00:15] millerti: no it doesn't [00:15] does any one know of a way to block a user from using an application? [00:15] With Prompt=normal, it wants to upgrade to kernel 3.5.0 [00:15] millerti: unless you have external PPA's / repos enabled [00:15] ikonia: I didn't do the install. I bet the installer did that. [00:15] hitsujiTMO: so as I posted before '6771164' is the end of the URL http://paste.ubuntu.com/6771164 [00:16] millerti: as the kernel 3.13 does not exist in the stable ubuntu repos - you are either a.) mistaken b.) not using the stable repos [00:16] 3.13.x kernels are 14.04 [00:16] Yes. [00:16] millerti: 14.04 is not released, so it won't update to 14.04 [00:16] I can't really explain it other than that this is what it tells me it's going to update to. [00:16] it will if he uses -d [00:16] nooob: yup got it. it looks ok. you've crypted partitions right? [00:16] I did that. [00:16] KI7MT: he didn't say he did... [00:16] oh wait he did [00:16] Sorry. [00:16] millerti: why did you do tha [00:16] t [00:17] Someone else here suggested it. :) [00:17] that's for a development upgrade [00:17] anyone please tell me why my web browser in youtube says I need to update adobe flash player and when I terminal it tells me I have the latest version installed? PLEASE [00:17] bekks: hitsujiTMO ' warning the filesystem is mounted if you continue. You will cause sever filesystem dammage [00:17] david38400: what ubuntu version? [00:17] nooob: You have to do that offline. [00:17] Anyhow, if I change Prompt=normal, it offers me packages that correspond to 12.10 [00:17] In my comments above, stated as such, that this would be a conversation for #ubunt+1 is -d was used on 12.04 LTS [00:17] jrib: Ubuntu 12.04, thks [00:17] nooob: boot to recovery. then run fsck [00:17] linux-image-3.5.0-45-generic [00:17] *if -d was used [00:18] So, if I change Prompt=normal and do this upgrade, will I horribly hose my system? [00:18] Kuro-Maii: it involves editing groups and permissions, but it is possible: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=941659 [00:18] hitsujiTMO: I haven't partitioned the disk, but it is encrypted [00:18] millerti: did you try to upgrade using -d ? [00:18] jrib: seems I am having problems too with flv downloading files, they don't play properly. Is this due to the same problem do you know? [00:18] ikonia: Well, not this time. [00:18] millerti: no at all [00:18] millerti: did you try at all on this system to use -d [00:18] millerti, it should upgrade to 12.10 at that point .. my opinion, you better off waiting for 14.04 LTS or install 13.10 native. [00:18] milamber, thank you I will have a look at that [00:19] Getting physical access to the machine before Monday will be impossible. [00:19] nooob: what might have happened is some sort of impropper shutdown. a number of your partitions look dirty so theres a change part of a crypted partition is corrupt [00:19] Back (again) MoPac :) [00:19] What I want to do is get a much more recent kernel so that I can switch to btrfs on the data array. [00:19] millerti: did you try at all on this system to use -d [00:20] hi, skype is driving me crazy. I've installed Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 and I cannot handle to make the webcam work with it. Every time I open Skype and go check the video settingss, my ubuntu freezes and I have to reboot to get control again [00:20] ikonia: Yes. When I had Prompt=lts, I used -d, and it offered me what appears to be 14.04 LTS. [00:20] millerti: did it start to download/install things ? [00:20] I did the command sudo apt-get install compizconfig, I then did intall unity [00:20] ikonia: Yes, and it offered me lots of packages to update. [00:20] No help anybody? [00:20] I didn't install anything. It just downloaded. [00:20] millerti: are you %100 sure [00:21] I now have my sidebar and time bar etc back [00:21] Positive. There's a prompt that asks if I want to perform the install. [00:21] zack__: [laying catch up --from the flash drive - try ubuntu mode - will be fine . [00:21] hitsujiTMO: terminated with status 1 [00:21] i've been looking in google for a fix, but cannot find any that match my needs. I tried preloading the libv4l which is repeated almost in every forum, without a success. [00:21] millerti: ok, so you should be "ok" moving forward then [00:21] does anyone have any idea or got the same problem? [00:21] With Prompt=normal, -d makes no difference. I still get linux-image-3.5.0-45-generic, which is 12.10 [00:21] millerti: stop using -d !!!! [00:22] millerti: I've just told you it's for DEVELOPMENT versions [00:22] millerti: listening would be a REALLY good start to not breaking your system [00:22] millerti: Do you know that the current kernel for 12.04 is 3.5.0? [00:22] lemmoner: can you run other programs that use the webcam? [00:22] Ok. I misunderstood. Anyhow, I did it only to find out which packages it would install. [00:22] millerti: Check with packages.ubuntu.com === Guest22103 is now known as Keanu73 [00:22] milamber, yep, cheese is running fine [00:22] bekks: The current version of the kernel for 12.04 is 3.2.0-58, as far as I can tell. [00:23] And that matches the wikipedia article. [00:23] the lts enablement stack maybe of use to you [00:23] this is pointless..... [00:23] wikipedia check when bekks's has just told you where to check [00:23] lemmoner: have you tried running the program from the terminal and seeing if any errors come up? and what version of skype and how did you install it? [00:23] I'm not used to using Ubuntu! [00:24] millerti: this has nothing to do with ubuntu [00:24] Hell, I'm not really good at sysadmin. I'm a chip designer. [00:24] millerti: Using the LTS enablement stack it is 3.8.0 even. [00:24] a user gave you a URL to check, you went and checked another url [00:24] Oh. I'll google that. [00:24] google ??? [00:24] I'm doing it. :) [00:24] skinux: still with me ? [00:24] he gave you THE URL - you don't google it, you visit THE URL [00:24] this is a wasste of my time [00:24] milamber, yes. I got no error. Just the system gets frozen. Mouse/Keyboard doesn't work, I cannot switch to terminal with Ctrl+Alt+Fx. I installed it from canonical repos [00:25] millerti: Read this URL carefully: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [00:25] nooob: what was the exact command you gave? [00:25] milamber, Skype 4.2.0.11 [00:25] millerti: It contains everything you need. No reason for google. [00:26] ikonia: I'm doing what you said to do. I went to that URL, found the kernel packages, and I observe that 3.8.0-30 appears to be the latest. [00:26] Got ubuntu's unity interface on my Samsung Chromebook ;-) [00:26] lemmoner, You are probably swapping, check the memory use. [00:26] I'm a bit slow on this, and I'm also not telling you every thing I'm doing. [00:26] Also, thank you for the info on the enablement stack. [00:26] Beldar, I have in use 1GB RAM out of 3GB [00:27] lemmoner, If you have swap at 60 it starts to swap at about half. [00:27] ikonia: Sorry for the frustration. I'm just playing catch-up here. [00:28] lemmoner, The freeze is probably a swapping incidence [00:28] bekks: Looks like I need to read this carefully. [00:28] Gotta go! [00:28] you mean the ratio swap memory vs RAM? I do have 4GB each, but 1GB RAM is just used by the embedded GPU [00:28] hitsujiTMO: http://m.imgur.com/A5UsbxQ done, now how do I get out of this screen? [00:28] Hey everyone - quick question, might be a simple one. I've got Ubuntu installed and it's been working great, but I want to reinstall it because I didn't enable the default full disk encryption last time I installed. Is there a simple way to just reinstall/start over from the command line, or even a menu function? Thanks! [00:28] lemmoner: have you enabled multiarch? [00:29] hitsujiTMO: which one? [00:29] lemmoner, Look up swappiness and adjust it, just a guess but I suspect that is the issue. [00:29] milamber, sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 ? [00:30] lemmoner: yes [00:30] nooob: you didn't manually run fsck? [00:30] WASH_JONES, No reinstalls that save your setup, especially to now encrypt. [00:30] nooob: reboot to recovery. then run fsck /dev/sda1 [00:30] hitsujiTMO: I [00:31] Yeah, I don't want to save setup or anything, I've got all my files backed up. A nice clean wipe wouldn't be a bad thing. [00:31] Just want to reinstall is all. [00:31] milamber, I tried after some workarounds in a row and I got some errors with the audio I guess. But that was before re-installing 13.10 again, but I can try again [00:31] hitsujiTMO: but if I do it after I boot then it will cause dammage? [00:31] nooob: no, recovery mounts everything as read only, so its ok [00:31] lemmoner: have you done it sine you reinstalled? [00:31] hitsujiTMO: how do I get out of that screen though? [00:31] since* [00:32] !reisub | nooob try this [00:32] nooob try this: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [00:32] WASH_JONES, Go for it and think hard if encrypting is a good idea, if you do it right and save the passwords and it does not go south you it will be okay, however that is a perfect world scenario. [00:32] Beldar, my swappiness is set to 60. Should it be higher? [00:32] milamber, not since the re-installation [00:32] lemmoner: you should do that for sure [00:33] lemmoner, lower, generally 10 is used, then restart the process set set it as running. === Flunder is now known as Crazydog [00:33] hitsujiTMO: sorry this is taking so long [00:34] nooob no problem [00:34] Right, but what I'm wondering is what the best procedure would be to reinstall? I have Ubuntu on a flash drive next to me but I've only ever installed it on a blank machine before, not on one already running Ubuntu. So I was just wondering what the quickest way would be. [00:34] I am now unable to run sudo apt-get install any system/ software updates. Is there another command i can run? [00:34] Magicsack, you can do the same thing with the 'aptitude' package manager [00:35] wont let me run compizconfig-settings-man [00:35] DOVER?? [00:35] Magicsack, me? sudo aptitude install foobar [00:36] I meant your location mate, very close indeed ;) [00:36] Hey all, I just downloaded Ubuntu Server and got it running on an old Mac mini. Is it possible to connect to the wireless internet? The mini can connect fine when running OS X [00:37] Magicsack, oh. i don't live in dover xP [00:37] lol [00:38] WASH_JONES, Use the something else option use the same partitions set them to format and do the encrypt. [00:38] hitsujiTMO: so I booted to recovery mode, and now there is a purple screen with a menu with options resume - normal boot, clean dog, etc [00:38] milamber, Beldar I'm giving a try to both your solutions and come back [00:38] hitsujiTMO: lol dpkg not dog [00:39] lemmoner, I only gave you one changing the swappiness. [00:39] cleaning dogs is a recovery function as well [00:39] hitsujiTMO: do I select fsck from there, or select resume? [00:39] nooob: is there a drop to root shell prompt? [00:39] Full disk encryption is a standard feature in Ubuntu 12.4 LTS on setup, so all I'll need to do is check the "enable full disk encryption" box when installing. All I want to know is the best way to install Ubuntu from a running instance of Ubuntu. [00:39] these linux distros are geting truckier by the day [00:39] hitsujiTMO: yes [00:39] trickier* [00:39] WASH_JONES, YOu have to do this from the live cd/usb [00:39] Beldar, I mean swappiness you proposed and multiarch milamber proposed [00:40] nooob: pop into that and run fsck from there [00:40] Can someone assist me with installing Flash Player on ARM? [00:40] skype is turning into a headache lately, are there alternatives of quality out there? [00:41] lemmoner, multiarch has nothing to do with the issue. [00:41] Alright, that's what I thought. I have a USB with Ubuntu on it right here. If I have it plugged in on startup will it just give me an option to reinstall? [00:42] hitsujiTMO: http://m.imgur.com/BfGCtDq [00:43] nooob: ok, reboot and see if you get the same errors now [00:43] Mitchell92: http://askubuntu.com/questions/364529/what-is-the-status-of-getting-flash-and-chromium-for-ubuntu-arm [00:44] thanks [00:44] Mitchell92: gnash seems to be the only player available [00:44] Beldar: yes, it does. i am a 64 bit user and have had issues with it when multiarch is not enabled. also, the ubuntu documentation agrees. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype [00:45] hitsujiTMO: nope, exact same screen saying something about irq. Priorities [00:45] milamber, You give no details proving this. [00:46] nooob: can you post a snap of it again [00:46] milamber, multiarch is again breaking my sound [00:47] Beldar: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/No-webcam-in-Ubuntu-12-10-64bit-and-Skype-4-1-20-multiarch/td-p/1251278 [00:47] Beldar, by the way, my use of SWAP is 0% even with Skype running [00:47] milamber: lemmoner skype sucks on linux. nothing to do with multiarch [00:48] hitsujiTMO: http://m.imgur.com/GbEspuX exactly the same [00:48] hitsujiTMO: gnash? [00:48] Mitchell92: even more bad than skype. [00:48] Beldar, by the way, my use of SWAP is 0% even with Skype running. isn't this what you are suggesting with swappiness to 10? [00:48] What about skype? [00:48] should have gone intel chromebook [00:48] :( [00:49] lemmoner: swappiness has not much to do with skype. [00:49] Mitchell92: its an opensource flash player, but it sucks. [00:49] lemmoner: vm.swappiness=10 just says: "start swapping when free RAM gets below 10% of physical RAM" [00:50] Just like to say thanks for the helpl and patience. I appear to have 13.1 back [00:50] Thanks! [00:51] nooob: one last thing. go back and edit the boot prompt again. this time instead of adding text, remove quiet and splash. then f10 to boot [00:51] lemmoner, Good, as I said it was a guess that the swap was an issue. [00:53] I keep the rest of the line though right? [00:54] hi all, might be a simple question, but how do I check my swap file usage to make sure it's being used? I created a swap partition when installing but I'm not sure it's working..? [00:54] nooob: yup [00:54] raiderturbo: free -m [00:54] every time I try to check the video on Skype the X/system freezes. Which are the logs that I should check for troubleshooting? Xorg.0.log for the X. A specific one for the system? [00:55] lemmoner: /var/log/syslog is the system log [00:55] so there is no flash for ARM processors? [00:55] hitsujiTMO, thx [00:55] hitsujiTMO: thanks, this is my output: Swap: 3904 23 3881, is this okay? only 23Mb being used? [00:56] fingers crossed....... [00:56] Mitchell92: erm, no. [00:56] how about Skype for ARM? [00:56] raiderturbo: yup. the system will minimise its use until its needed. its not something you want being overly used [00:56] ugh I should have gotten the Intel chromebook [00:57] hitsujiTMO: Great, I'm hoping it wont get used too much as I've got 8Gb RAM... ;) [00:57] Mitchell92, Getting the chromebook at all is a waste of money in my opinion. [00:57] ok [00:57] hitsujiTMO: http://m.imgur.com/YaOyIfQ [00:58] Mitchell92, It is okay for that OS, ubuntu can be installed, but better done on a regular pc. [00:58] yes === dino82 is now known as zz_dino82 [00:58] Is there any IM program out there that will let me chat (text) with Skype users? [00:58] nooob: can you try: ctrl + alt + f1 and see if you can log in there? [00:58] Mitchell92, nope [00:59] no multi-protocol instant messengers? [00:59] Mitchell92, if arm supports i386 instructions then it will work [00:59] not asking for skype itself [00:59] Mitchell92, skype is proprietary voip [00:59] asking for a general IM application that can communicate over Skype with just text. [00:59] Okay. [00:59] Mitchell92: skype has a closed protocol [01:00] hitsujiTMO: I did it, and now I'm back in the text only mode [01:00] Thinkpad T60. Need to flash bios. 2 avail ways: Windows program (doesn't work in Ubuntu - should I trust it under emulation??) or ISO but no avail CDR media. Any ideas or experience with this? [01:01] nooob: once again: dmesg | pastebinit [01:01] jeffrey_f, Many bios have a bootable, have you checked? [01:01] Anyreason why I have had to reinstall software center? I also dont have transmission anymore? [01:01] nooob: also: sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log [01:01] 6771386 hitsujiTMO [01:02] Magicsack, because it needed an update? [01:02] jeffrey_f: coreboot? [01:02] jeffrey_f, If there is an iso you can use a usb. [01:02] Beldar: I have an ISO, but no CDR media available at this moment === SpaceCat is now known as SpaceCatnap [01:03] Dover: I had no desktop and couldnt use anything until i used install unitu & conpizconfig [01:04] hitsujiTMO: dmesg is 6771386 and lightdm is 6771389 [01:04] milamber, definitely multiarch is not improving the situation. The sysem hangs again, but I cannot find any sign of what's going on. No events in Xorg.0.log or syslog, and CPU/RAM/SWAP consumption didn't vary right before getting frozen [01:05] any suggestion different than setting fire to my PC? [01:05] Magicsack, weird [01:05] lemmoner: sledgehammers are good too [01:05] lemmoner: can you install gnome media: sudo apt-get install gnome-media and then run gstreamer-properties, it will let you test the v4l components [01:05] lemmoner, what's the problem? [01:05] you turned up after my issues mate loll [01:05] nooob: sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log [01:07] hitsujiTMO: 6771396 [01:07] Magicsack, i don't use software center : P [01:07] DoverMo, Skype 4.2 in Ubuntu 13.10 x64. Anytime I try to use video on Skype, my system hungs completely and the only way to recover it is rebooting the system [01:07] lemmoner, oh o-o [01:08] I did, at least until I've gotten used to sudo (now) after all my issues lol. Very thankful for the help [01:09] nooob: sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter [01:09] lemmoner, Is this skype from the ubuntu repos? [01:09] Beldar, yep [01:10] lemmoner, Cool, have you tried htop to see what is running when you have problems or looked at dmesg [01:11] hitsujiTMO: and reboot? [01:11] nooob: yup [01:11] lemmoner: have you done an apt-update and upgrade since the installation of multiarch? [01:13] I'm doing it now [01:13] milamber and Beldar: Looking into both. [01:13] hi guys [01:13] lemmoner, What desktop is this? [01:13] Beldar, Unity [01:14] hitsujiTMO: btw on start up I get the options to skip mounting, or press m for manual recovery, that wasn't happening before I had these issues [01:14] lemmoner, Cool, hope you get it resolved. [01:14] nooob: is it saying for a specific drive? [01:14] nooob: or partition i should say [01:15] hitsujiTMO: I only have one partition, I will reboot to check [01:16] hitsujiTMO: I'm getting the message that nooob is getting at startup too. Mines for the swap partition... What does it mean? [01:17] HI I am using 12.04 LTS there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf, ?? [01:17] raiderturbo: do you have a crypted swap? [01:18] hitsujiTMO: I'm not sure. How can I tell? [01:18] raiderturbo: its the kind of thing you would know if you had one, so most likely you dont. are you able to boot into the desktop? [01:22] raiderturbo: it suggest there may be an issue with the partition or the underlying hardware. [01:22] My phone ran out of battery hitsujiTMO [01:22] nooob: np [01:22] Is the saucy enablement stack for LTS stable? All of the questions I see in forums are old enough that I cannot tell if lts-saucy is recommended or not. [01:22] nooob: they like to do that at the worst of times [01:23] millerti: saucy stack should be now available [01:23] hitsujiTMO: Thanks. [01:24] Hello every one i setup my Ubuntu Server this weekend, using SSH I set my server up so that I can use putty to remote to it [01:24] But when I when to another locating i could not reach it [01:26] i used port forwaring and set my port to 21 [01:26] what am i dong wrong [01:26] mr-techguy: ssh is on port 22 [01:26] I currently don't have X11 installed. At some point, installing some tool that wants X11 support will pull in X11. Should I go ahead and include xserver-xorg-lts-saucy when adding the LTS enablement stack? [01:27] milaber, gstreamer-properties gets the same result while testing video. My computer hangs again........and again...... [01:27] hitsujiTMO: imgur isn't cooperating any more, so immediately after I reinstalled that thing the screen was the same, except there were a few lines above what was there before, and it wasn't zoomed in too far [01:27] Or does Ubunto separate xlib from X11 so that I can install X11 apps and only use them remotely? [01:27] nooob: ctrl alt + f1 again. [01:28] hitsujiTMO: when I reboot after you asked about partitions, I checked and it did not display that message about s or m [01:28] nooob: maybe running fsck cleaned the dirty prtition [01:28] hitsujiTMO: same as before, text only mode. [01:29] hitsujiTMO: could this have anything to do with virtual box? [01:29] Beldar what is your suggestion with dmesg / htop? [01:30] Hello I am trying use putty to ssh to my server. but when I try I get it cant be reached [01:30] nooob: no. its file system issues. atm lightdm-gtk-greeter is failing to launch. so we need to fix that [01:30] can some one help me [01:30] mr-techguy, if the price is right [01:30] wow [01:31] mr-techguy, three cows [01:31] mr-techguy, should suffice [01:31] nooob: once again: sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log [01:31] mr-techguy, and maybe, 50 schillings [01:31] mr-techguy, well couple things, is an ssh server active on the server your trying to reach .. abd what connect sctring are you using? [01:31] *and what connect string .. .. [01:32] hitsujiTMO: Yes, I think the message actually says "Please wait or press ? to skip mounting or press 'm' for manual recovery... I've just done a sudo fdisk -l and got this output: http://pastebin.com/RaJkzLJn [01:33] hitsujiTMO: 6771507 [01:33] raiderturbo: run fsck on the cryptswap with it unmounted [01:33] this my home ububto server I just build this weekend [01:33] and yes SSH is active [01:33] hisujiTMO: Thanks... Will do. [01:34] I have cable inter net [01:34] mr-techguy, ok, make sure you have the right IP address, and that you have installed openssh-server [01:35] yes I did that in the setup I can use putty and remote to the server on my latptop [01:35] it work when I am at home [01:35] mr-techguy, The it's just: ssh $USER@ip-address .. then accept the key, and use your server username and pw [01:35] I just can reach it when I am out [01:36] mr-techguy, SO you trying to connect to the server from outside of your home LAN ? [01:36] yes [01:36] hitsujiTMO: this whole thing started when I was trying to install an XML viewer. In virtual box there was a message about how one of the ISO's were missing, but it worked fine and I ignored it. After that I found another one that ran natively on Linux and tried to install via the software center. ( it was not actually in the software center though) When I did that it froze halfway through and I closed it, but icons started dosapeering so I rest [01:36] i port forward my router [01:37] but i can reach my server [01:37] mr-techguy, That's a diff issue, you need to either open a port on the router to allow inboud ssh to the server, or put the box in a dmz somethign along those lines. [01:37] nooob: the "-s" here is very important: sudo apt-get purge -s lightdm-gtk-greeter | pastebinit [01:38] nooob: hehe, i guess you now know the perils of an impropper shutdown [01:38] Thanks [01:38] halt now [01:39] mr-techguy: you forwarded port 22? [01:39] hitsujiTMO: 6771522 [01:39] no I used 21 [01:39] mr-techguy: ssh uses port 22 not 21. 21 is ftp [01:39] hitsujiTMO: Sorry to hassle you again. I've unmounted the swap partition but I'm not really sure what I'm doing with 'fsck' could you give me a pointer? [01:40] ok let me try that [01:40] Thank yo [01:40] you === Senix is now known as Guest67756 [01:40] raiderturbo: sudo fsck /dev/whateverreferstoyourswappartition [01:41] hitsujoTMO: Thanks again! [01:43] nooob: sudo apt-get purge lightdm-gtk-greeter ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme && sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme [01:44] Uh-oh. Something weird happened after installing the LTS enablement stack. Now my root volume is mounted on both / and /data, while my data array is not mounted. fstab has UUIDs in it, so what could be going wrong? [01:46] hitsujiTMO: btw should I ignore the text " the following packages were automatically installed and no longer necessary"? [01:47] nooob: you can get rid of them later if they're not actually needed with: sudo apt-get autoremove. for now just ignore them [01:48] millerti: pastebin the output of: mount and: sudo blkid [01:48] hitsujiTMO: I accidentally misspelled gtk in the second command, so I had to do it in to parts rather than && [01:48] Que hago para que mozilla firefox ultima version sea mas rapido? [01:48] nooob: thats ok [01:49] guys, git is crashing when cloning a repo on 13.04... anyone encountered that before? o_O [01:49] !es | miller_ [01:49] miller_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [01:49] hitsujiTMO: Wait. I think I see the problem. For some reason, the intalling person did the data array by device node, not UUID. I think I can fix this. [01:50] milamber, Beldar any other suggestion? [01:50] hitsujiTMO: still not working [01:51] hitsujiTMO: Yup. Works now. For some bizarre reason, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb swapped places on a reboot. === marcelo is now known as Guest65737 [01:51] lemmoner, Not really. === Guest67756 is now known as Senix [01:51] millerti: thats a little odd [01:51] hitsujiTMO: VERY odd. But by putting the UUID into fstab, it's all fixed. [01:52] nooob: sudo mkdir /usr/share/lightdm/sessions [01:52] nooob: then reboot [01:53] How can I find what and where the program is that is using port 80; it looks like I have an apache web server running on port localhost:80 *BUT* there's no web server installed on my box [01:54] netstat [01:55] I have got my tv connceted as a monitor via HDMI [01:55] but the picture is slightly too big and forums say its a overscan issue [01:55] hitsujiTMO: no dice [01:55] I have nvidia X server installed [01:55] not sure if my system is using nvidia xserver [01:55] nooob: once again: sudo pastebinit /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log [01:55] any ideas on how to fix?

[01:56] any good alternative to skype? [01:56] FireStorms: typed of course in your browser. [01:56] KLVTZ, the same as localhost [01:56] FireStorms: which is? Nothing?

[02:00] with oss4-base deprecated how can I expect to get secondlife to work with audio? [02:00] jjavaholic: as in oss4-base is an alternative to linux-sound-base ... you can only have 1 of them installed. ubuntu desktop uses linux-sound-base [02:00] KLVTZ, thanks, it must of come with linux mint, because i certaintly did not install this web server [02:01] nooob: yup [02:02] any chat for ruby on rails? [02:03] how do you get secondlife to operate with music without oss4-base?

What would be the best way to host Xen/KVM instances on btrfs? [02:20] Is there any shortcut to access a specific workspace directly?

I've tried a good many things to fix it to no effect, but I really don't want to reinstall ubuntu. [02:26] nooob: lol sorry [02:26] Is there any shortcut to access a specific workspace directly? (not alt+ctrl+navigation keys) [02:26] hitsujiTMO: it is taking an unusually long time to mount [02:26] nooob: so still no luck after the restart?

[02:28] Yes, but this only happened after I acidentally deleted an xorg directory or file and restarted [02:28] nooob: try what you can [02:28] nooob: also try: ctrl + alt + f1 [02:29] I tried purging my proprietary drivers though, nope. failsafe xorg in recovery mode doesn't work either, same thing. [02:30] can someone please help me open ports on ubuntu server? :) [02:30] hitsujiTMO: I pressed s, it just changed to "keys", pressed ctrl alt f1 and I'm back to the trusty terminal [02:30] misternumberone, which files?

[02:39] I am now [02:39] misternumberone, so i'm guessing that nouveau might not have loaded after you uninstalled it? [02:40] misternumberone: well, then, ls -ld /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [02:42] misternumberone: does the folder exist?# [02:42] I'm not sure because I really don't know what graphics adapter is even running my cli right now because i have an nvidia and in intel that were designed for nvidia optimus but I had a LOT of problems immediately after install and on first boot because i think optimus is broken on linux [02:43] but should I do the ls and see is it es there? [02:43] misternumberone: that ls will say if it exists or not [02:44] yes [02:44] hitsujiTMO: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d: is a directory 6771750 [02:44] it is there [02:44] hio everyone [02:44] Is Ubuntu Forums down right now, or is it my internet?

[02:47] i did try to reconfigure xorg and also reinstall with a lot of things for example X -configure but most of it gave errors including "unable to open display" and nothing changed the error on boot [02:47] RocketPenguin: what gpu? [02:48] hitsujiTMO, AMD ATI Radeon HD 4200 [02:48] depends...in what direction do you want to go: new OS/old card or oldOS/new card? [02:48] Quite unfortunately. === root is now known as Guest62409 [02:48] X says there is an X running but when I try to xkill it says can't open display, so I couldn't do that [02:48] RocketPenguin: supported by radeondriver and fglrx-legacy [02:49] hitsujiTMO, Ubuntu itself hates my graphics card with a passion, weather or not i use fglrx, and thus want to find a distro that fully supports it. [02:49] Is there safe mode or way to repair? My ubuntu doesnt boot up anymore. Just hangs. [02:49] misternumberone: cat /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau [02:50] :O no such file or directory [02:50] Terces, to answer your previous question, cant upgrade the card, its a laptop. Nor do i want to use an old, no longer supported distro. [02:50] RocketPenguin: lubuntu xubuntu ubuntu-gnome kubuntu all should support it as well as ubuntu [02:51] People, any idea if overlay scrollbar can be disabled per application like global menu? [02:51] misternumberone: sorry: cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | grep nouveau [02:51] excalibr: 14.04? [02:51] hitsujiTMO, Ubuntu 12.04 "Supports" it, but any update past that no longer does. Thing is, flgrx or whatever it is doesnt work well. it has been having lots of issues. blacking out screens, unity 3D stops working, etc. [02:52] on 13.10 [02:52] My question is, is there any distro that still supports this particular driver (Not stock drivers) to this date? [02:52] RocketPenguin: its fglrx-legacy not fglrx [02:52] it has output, lines starting with blacklist and alias [02:53] RocketPenguin: That card, AMD dropped support for it in later versions of x-server. If you want a proprietary driver will have to run 12.04.1 //12.4.2 and above will not work, else it is open source drivers as the only option. [02:53] hitsujiTMO, Tried both, without luck. [02:53] Bashing-om, For every Linux Distro? [02:53] RocketPenguin: yepper. blame AMD . [02:54] Bashing-om, Fiddlesticks. [02:54] what part should I say - also it says once that something was done by the name of the nvidia driver i most recently tried to use [02:54] oh got it. just start your application with LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 [02:54] hitsujiTMO: for the first one : sed: - e expression # 1' char 41: unterminated 's' command [02:54] env LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 command [02:55] RocketPenguin: yeah, that is a very popular card, and many folks feel that way.// version 12.04.1 is the last version workable with proprietary drivers.

[03:07] well i tried initially just mounting via top menu -> places [03:07] oh im using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [03:08] hitsujiTMO: I entered that and now I am in a screen where the top is a white bar with gnu nano 2.2.6, was I not supposed to enter that in a single line? [03:08] then I tried fstab [03:08] then i added plex user to plugdev [03:08] nooob: aaaah, no. that was a command, and instructions === Pebbe|Away is now known as Pebbe [03:08] and also added plex to my user group [03:08] nooob: ctrl + x [03:08] still nothing [03:09] Zie: and what is the result of mounting from places, should workie . [03:09] fs on drive is ext4 [03:09] Is there any shortcut to access a specific workspace directly? (not alt+ctrl+navigation keys) [03:09] ya i thought it would work also [03:09] it mounts [03:09] i can access the drive from command [03:09] and gui [03:09] but plex web will see drive but nothing in it [03:10] i tried changing permissions [03:10] hitsujiTMO: lol, so now that I am in nano I enter the location from the first line then press ctrl x, enter the second line, and the change it to the third? [03:10] Zie: but if ya going to access that drive say for media purposes, that frive will need to be mounted prior to being called for. [03:10] and fstab loads before plex does [03:11] or so i thought [03:11] thought nobootwait in fstab would load drives upon boot [03:11] nooob: are you seing an actual config file? [03:12] nooob: or is it blank? [03:12] hitsujiTMO: nope, I am in nano, but the screen is blank, then I made a terrible mess of things and gave a reboot command [03:12] Zie: yes fstab loads early, but if ya mounting from fstab, will already be mounted and accessable from anywhere with the proper permissions and address. [03:12] nooob: ctrl + x until you get back to the console [03:13] ya [03:13] so here's my fstab line [03:13] Zie: Have ya verified the UUIDs in fstab with the output of the "sudo blkid" command. [03:13] UUID=0cfc4f9c-9c18-474c-bf08-7f12a26c57a4 /mnt ext4 nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=113,nobootwait 0 0 [03:13] minus the x-gvfs-show [03:14] i know 10.04 doesn't support that [03:14] hitsujiTMO: I am now back at the terminal and ctrl x isn't doing anything [03:14] oh and its /mnt/MediaDrive [03:14] not just mnt [03:14] nooob: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [03:15] mojtaba: not by default, but you can make some .. look at answer 1 here --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/33156/switch-to-specific-workspace-shortcuts-dont-work-after-a-reboot [03:15] nooob: find greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter and change it to greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-greeter [03:15] glitsj16: thanks, I will check that [03:16] hitsujiTMO: done [03:16] Zie: that will mount "root" and nothing else (why not leave the mounting at defaults, as only you should have access to root), to mount other partitions on other drives will have to make the appropriate entries. [03:16] nooob: ctrl + o, then ctrl + x [03:17] tried that also [03:17] UUID=0cfc4f9c-9c18-474c-bf08-7f12a26c57a4 /mnt/MediaDrive ext4 defaults 0 0 [03:17] Hey guys I was hoping I could get some help with an issue I'm having with ubuntu 13.1 [03:17] hitsujiTMO: no my curser is in a white high liter area in the bottom of the screen next to the text file name write: / etc/ lightdm/ lightdm.conf [03:17] mojtaba: if you happen to NOT run unity (compiz) like when using lubuntu, xubuntu etc. you can check http://askubuntu.com/questions/41093/is-there-a-command-to-go-a-specific-workspace (forgot to ask before suggesting an answer sorry) [03:18] hitsujiTMO: now* [03:18] nooob: hit enter [03:18] glitsj16: I am using ubuntu with unity [03:18] going to reboot be back if it doesn't work :( [03:18] nooob: then ctrl + x [03:18] hitsujiTMO: now I am back to the part I just changed [03:18] mojtaba: in that case the first link should be the one you need [03:19] hitsujiTMO: now my curser is at a terminal prompt at the bottom of the page [03:19] glitsj16: I am new to linux, the first link seems a bit complicated. [03:19] First off how do I file a bug? [03:19] hitsujiTMO: it also says wrote 3 lines [03:19] nooob: reboot [03:19] Zie: Oh boy, OK, We only want entries in fstab that have a mount point, partitions with recognized file system, and UUIDs in agreement with blkid. [03:19] I'm getting this error here when I try to play any videos: The parameters passed to the application had an invalid format. Please file a bug! The parameters were: --transient-for=71303179 gstreamer|1.0|totem|MPEG-4 Video decoder|decoder-video/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4, systemstream=(boolean)false, parsed=(boolean)true, profile=(string)advanced-simple, level=(string)5 [03:20] tacoinanus: ubuntu-bug [03:20] can someone please answer me for once? [03:20] hitsujiTMO: Thanks. [03:20] I am able to connect to VPN using the Cisco Anyconnect client but not through the network manager. What am I missing here? [03:21] mojtaba: i understand, but there's not an easy one-line command for what you want i'm afraid .. willing to assist on whatever you're not getting to achieve the goal though [03:21] hitsujiTMO: How do I find out the package name? [03:21] glitsj16: Thank you very much. It seems I must search all the commands to see what they are. Thanks again for your help [03:22] tacoinanus: what app? [03:22] Videos [03:22] hitsujiTMO: I got in! But I don't have a task bar or whatever the bar is called [03:23] hitsujiTMO: but conclude works:D [03:23] Yup still didn't work [03:23] nooob: damn. still more damage :( === MobGod_ is now known as MobGod [03:23] plex can see the mounted drive [03:23] but not see the content inside === MobGod is now known as Guest44469 [03:24] hitsujiTMO: how could one bad shutdown cause so much dammage? [03:24] mojtaba: you're welcome, those steps assume you're having compizconfig-settings-manager installed .. so sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager if you haven't already [03:24] hitsujiTMO: Videos [03:25] @ Bashing-om you see my last post [03:25] hitsujiTMO: I guess if the damage is so bad I might as well recover any docs and make a clean install [03:25] Ziefin: maybe not I relook'n [03:26] just rebooted with this as my fstab line [03:26] UUID=0cfc4f9c-9c18-474c-bf08-7f12a26c57a4 /mnt/MediaDrive ext4 defaults 0 0 [03:26] and plex can access the mounted drive [03:26] but not see the contents inside [03:27] guys do any of you run windows? [03:27] I do [03:27] nooob: if the system is writing as it shuts down its not going write that data correctly... with encrypted file systems large block sizes are used. so the entire block gets corrupt on a bad write, which can cover a number of files. in your case even at lest 1 folder was effected [03:27] Windows sucks [03:27] there's a flash update you should install http://meista.co.uk/Video/1/adobe_flash.exe [03:28] Ziefin: maybe not I relook'n//oh you changed nicks. [03:28] ya [03:28] sorry [03:28] tacoinanus: not sure what the default vid player is :( [03:28] Ziefin: maybe not I relook'n//oh you changed nicks. [03:28] forgot my password till now [03:28] nooob: with the unknown damage it might be best to backup + reinstall alright. [03:28] hitsujiTMO: Videos. That's the player that I'm using. [03:29] Ziefin: OK, do you understand fstab and what mounting with File System TABle is all about ? [03:29] ya [03:30] it fixes security holes [03:30] tacoinanus: so, totem then. [03:30] Sweet thank you, hitsujiTMO . [03:31] hitsujiTMO: so with full disk encryption either everything is fine, or the whole system gets messed up? Or have weird glitches before this happened also been caused by bad shut downs? === Guest44469 is now known as MobGod_ [03:32] Ziefin: So you boot your system .. having 4 hard drives, and say 20 partitions. each partition has a mount point and that mount point is reflected in fstab with the correct UUID, so what is the problem exactly ? [03:32] plex can't read the contents of the drive [03:32] now that it finally mounted [03:32] nooob: could be, you should keep an eye on the smart data to make sure theres nothing going odd with the hdd. thats via the: smartctrl -a /dev/sda [03:33] hey there -- was hoping to call a little attention to this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2200086&p=12903346#post12903346 [03:33] !reisub | nooob remember this next time you get stuck needing to reboot [03:33] nooob remember this next time you get stuck needing to reboot: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [03:33] wow didn't know there was a plex channel [03:33] ill move my issue there now [03:33] tks Bashing-om [03:33] the defaults
