| hitsujiTMO | runvnc: look at the grub.cfg | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| TJ- | runvnc: For caution I'd check "/etc/fstab" and be sure there isn't something that could trip it up on reboot. | 00:00 |
| TJ- | runvnc: Usually "update-grub" puts the most recent kernel first... check "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" you should see it is listed first | 00:00 |
| honeybuntu | This is the best URL address on simply installing ubuntu that i am aware of ItalianStallion. Please check it out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6328/how-do-i-install-ubuntu | 00:00 |
| TJ- | runvnc: You can change the default item number in "/etc/default/grub" | 00:00 |
| TJ- | runvnc: any changes to "/etc/default/grub" require "update-grub" afterwards | 00:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | runvnc: what minimum kernel version did you need? | 00:01 |
| FireStorms | I know ubuntu blocks port forwarding of port 80 *BUT!* can overridge this behaviour some how? | 00:01 |
| runvnc | I just need it to boot to 3.0 then I can remove the old kernels and do-release-upgrade to 12 | 00:01 |
| runvnc | I am just trying to figure out which menu item # 3.0 is | 00:02 |
| TJ- | runvnc: look at the "linux ... lines which give the name of the vmlinuz-???? | 00:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | runvnc: ok. after a sucessful reboot. make sure you have enough free space on each drive before you start the upgrade process | 00:03 |
| honeybuntu | Have to go (dinner hour here). Hope all goes well or gets better after awhile for everyone in channel. B'bye til after dinner. | 00:03 |
| TJ- | runvnc: you'll see something like "linux /vmlinuz-3.12.0-031200-generic root=/dev/mapper/XPSm1530-Raring ..." | 00:03 |
| runvnc | I just did a grep for menuentry and the first few are 3.0 | 00:03 |
| runvnc | I am going to try to reboot thanks a lot for your help guys | 00:03 |
| TJ- | runvnc: good luck! | 00:04 |
| runvnc | if it doesnt load then I will stop bothering you guys for a few days | 00:04 |
| runvnc | heh because I will have to wait for someone to manually log in. I bet it will work though | 00:04 |
| ant_thomas | When attempting a netinstall/minimal install is it normal to have to wait ages to go from selecting the mirror to "loading additional components" I'm sure in the past this has been near enough instant but in all my recent 12.04 install it sits for a very long time. What is actually happening at this point? | 00:05 |
| === aman is now known as Guest39811 | ||
| runvnc | yay thanks it booted, hamachi worked, and it is on 3.0 now so I just need to delete a few more files and then I can upgrade again | 00:07 |
| runvnc | thanks | 00:07 |
| ites | hey | 00:07 |
| lickalott | TJ-, think i've pinpointed to a dbus issue | 00:08 |
| ites | i'm installing a new OS, and i need to provide the name of my domain. since it's a home network, i can just make something up. but they say it should be the same for every computer. i'm running ubuntu on this machine, how can i check which domain name i used? | 00:08 |
| ites | thanks | 00:08 |
| TJ- | runvnc: good to hear :) | 00:08 |
| TJ- | lickalott: some recent changed caused it, or has it got itself confused? | 00:09 |
| lickalott | within the last three/four days | 00:09 |
| runvnc | tj any idea why dpkg -l never seems to update after I remove things? I used apt-get remove but it always keeps in the dpkg -l list | 00:09 |
| runvnc | even though it says it was removed | 00:09 |
| lickalott | runvnc, have you ever tried a purge? | 00:09 |
| lickalott | or autoremove | 00:10 |
| runvnc | I have been running autoremove doesnt remove it from that dpkg list | 00:10 |
| runvnc | I will try purge | 00:10 |
| TJ- | runvnc: When you do "apt-get remove" it leaves the config files behind. Look at the "dpkg -l" output and you'll see the config column shows a c. If you did "apt-get purge" the config files would be removed too | 00:10 |
| runvnc | it says rc | 00:10 |
| runvnc | means removed? | 00:10 |
| runvnc | ok | 00:10 |
| TJ- | runvnc: Yes Removed, but still Configured | 00:11 |
| Crazydog | What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something or are the files i'm trying to use in a different place? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6777167/ | 00:11 |
| Stalkr_ | What's the easiest way to give me full FTP access to the whole system? I can only access my home directory right now, and can't even write to it, even though I have enabled write_enable=YES and local_enable=YES | 00:13 |
| Crazydog | damn you guys hate me | 00:13 |
| lickalott | Crazydog, no idea what is even going on there. Can you give us some more detail? | 00:13 |
| Crazydog | Oh thanks :) | 00:13 |
| Crazydog | I'm trying to compile a program and i'm very new at this. Heres what i'm trying to compile | 00:14 |
| lickalott | Stalkr_, are you using vsftpd? | 00:14 |
| px443 | Stalkr_: do it over ssh instead, sftp etc works a lot better | 00:14 |
| Stalkr_ | lickalott: Yes | 00:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: 1) why are you using ftp? 2) whay are you using ftp? | 00:14 |
| Stalkr_ | Is FTP really that bad? | 00:14 |
| Crazydog | https://github.com/veox/sgminer | 00:14 |
| lickalott | yes | 00:14 |
| lickalott | easily exploitable | 00:14 |
| lickalott | ssh, scp, sftp ftw | 00:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: very insecure. use sftp: install ssh and use key auth | 00:15 |
| Stalkr_ | I have an FTP client, I just wanted to use that. It supports SFTP too, but I can't write at all, only read | 00:15 |
| mcristo | Hey guys. | 00:15 |
| jeffrey_f | stalkr: FTP is not secure. sFTP is better. FileZilla works quite well and Read/Write could be permissions | 00:15 |
| Crazydog | I think i got all the dependencies installed but libtool seems to be giving me problems. when i attempt to autoreconf or automake its giving me missing /compact/Makefile.in file not found error. | 00:15 |
| px443 | Stalkr_: you can change permissions with chmod | 00:16 |
| Stalkr_ | I think my permissions are messed up, I have to do sudo for everything. I can't even mkdir | 00:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: secondly. you shouldn't be blindly giving root access over sftp. upload you files to home and move then in place in a secure manner | 00:16 |
| lickalott | Crazydog, what I meant was more along of the lines of what were you doing when that error popped up? (makefile, make, install, apt-get, etc...?) | 00:16 |
| nevyn | Stalkr_: where? | 00:16 |
| jeffrey_f | Stalkr: There's the problem. You don't own the object if you did stuff under Sudo | 00:16 |
| Crazydog | automake and autoreconf give me that error. | 00:16 |

| Stalkr_ | nevyn: Where what? | 00:16 |
| lickalott | hrrmmm | 00:17 |
| nevyn | where are you trying to mkdir? | 00:17 |
| lickalott | sudo or no sudo? | 00:17 |
| Stalkr_ | http://pastie.org/pastes/8646475/text | 00:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: what exactly are you uploading? what is the end goal? | 00:17 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: Being able to upload stuff easily from my desktop to my server | 00:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: WHATS THE OUTPUT OF: ls -ld $HOME | 00:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | woops sorry for caps | 00:18 |
| Stalkr_ | drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Jan 19 01:08 /home/iamstalkr | 00:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: why does root own your home dir? | 00:19 |
| Stalkr_ | I have no idea | 00:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: whats the output of: id | 00:19 |
| Stalkr_ | I just installed Ubuntu Server yesterday, tried to configure some web services I need to use, haven't really any idea what I have done so far | 00:19 |

| hitsujiTMO | so your $HOME is messed up and you gid | 00:20 |
| Crazydog | Any idea? | 00:20 |

| === |oop is now known as |oop| | ||
| Stalkr_ | Yes, sorry for messing it up | 00:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: so its not that you tried to change your user name after the install? | 00:22 |
| Stalkr_ | I used lauritz during the installation | 00:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | ok coool | 00:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME | 00:23 |
| Crazydog | :( | 00:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: that should fix the permissions | 00:23 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: drwxr-xr-x 16 lauritz lauritz 4096 Jan 19 01:08 /home/lauritz | 00:23 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: Yeah, now I can mkdir without sudo | 00:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: now. what exactly are you trying to upload to? | 00:24 |
| Stalkr_ | /var/www | 00:24 |
| smaudet | Stalkr_: wait, what? | 00:24 |
| Stalkr_ | smaudet: ? | 00:24 |
| smaudet | mkdir doesn't require sudo, unless you don't have user rights | 00:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: so, this is a home server or what? | 00:24 |
| Stalkr_ | smaudet: I know, it was messed up. For some reason I had changed it to root | 00:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: his $HOME was owned by root | 00:25 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: Yes, only I will basically be using it | 00:25 |
| === lag is now known as Guest46964 | ||

| tarien | hi everybody | 00:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: right. ok, do you want to know the right way to do it? such as in a multi user environment. or do you want the easy way? | 00:26 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: Looks like it is working now, I have gained back permission, so I can use SFTP fine now | 00:26 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: The right way sounds good | 00:26 |
| tarien | my someone help me activate mysql for php in ubuntu 13.10? | 00:26 |
| tarien | *may ... | 00:27 |
| Stalkr_ | Unless it's a lot of unnecessary configs | 00:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: the norm is to create a group for those who are trusted to write to that dir: sudo groupadd www-adm | 00:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: not a huge lot, but its good to know | 00:28 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: So if my friend wants to use a folder, I can give him write rights to that folder, by adding him to a group of www-useres? | 00:29 |
| Stalkr_ | users* | 00:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: yup | 00:29 |
| Stalkr_ | Doesn't sound too bad. I have my own domain, would I be using virtual host to have a folder domain.com pointing to my domain? | 00:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: then, the web root should be owned by that group: sudo chown -R root:www-adm /var/www | 00:30 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: I know how I get my domain to point to my IP, I have done that before. To tell the host, I will be using this folder (/var/www/domain) for this site, do I have to configure a virtual host? | 00:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: next you want it to be group writable and, have the setgid bit set, so any files or folders created inherit the www-adm gid. sudo chmod -R g+ws /var/www | 00:32 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/domain.conf -- I believe that's the folder | 00:33 |
| Crazydog | MUAHAHHA | 00:34 |
| Crazydog | i figured it out and didnt need you guys :P | 00:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: you configure a virtual host in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and then enable the virtual host with: sudo a2ensite domain | 00:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: all you have to do now is add every user to the group: sudo adduser www-adm iamstalkr | 00:35 |
| DoverMo | Crazydog, ;c | 00:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: that easy to do things the right way | 00:35 |
| Stalkr_ | hitsujiTMO: I will give it a look tomorrow, it's pretty late here :-) Thanks for the help | 00:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | Stalkr_: np | 00:36 |
| skinux | I'm trying to create a directory structure for scripts which are categorized by programming language. Would a proper structure be to locate them inside a directory named for their language and place symlinks to them in the 'root' scripts directory? | 00:40 |
| Crazydog | Ok so i got make install to kinda work, but getting error cannot create regular file '/usr/local/lib/libjansson.so blah blah' : Permission denied | 00:42 |
| rww | you probably want sudo make install | 00:42 |
| Crazydog | oh ya! | 00:42 |
| Crazydog | thanks | 00:42 |
| TJ- | I have a "dd if=/dev/mapper/VG-LV of=/dev/sdx7 bs=512M" operation running that is only getting 6MB/s. I'd expect an average above 35MB/s. The block devices are on different physical disks (if=LV->VG>sdi4) on separate interfaces. No errors in logs. Any ideas what I'm missing? | 00:42 |
| Crazydog | thanks bro that seemd to do it | 00:43 |
| skinux | Also, is there a way to allow being able to right-click app icons and select 'run as root' or similar? | 00:43 |
| Crazydog | I compiled my first source code!! Now how the hell do I run it? | 00:43 |
| Crazydog | ;) | 00:43 |
| === jje is now known as Guest84190 | ||
| geirha | skinux: A command is a command. It doesn't matter if it's a compiled binary, an sh script, a bash script, a perl script or a python script. A command is a command. So what's the point in this categorization? | 00:44 |
| milamber | Crazydog: what did you compile? | 00:44 |
| OerHeks | TJ-, maybe bs=4K speeds up | 00:44 |
| Crazydog | https://github.com/veox/sgminer | 00:44 |
| Crazydog | That | 00:44 |
| === Guest84190 is now known as jje | ||
| TJ- | OerHeks: usually I run at bs=1G but reduced it here to leave some memory free for other processes | 00:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | TJ-: OerHeks bs isn't even needed. any tests i've done showed fasted speed by omiting it | 00:45 |
| TJ- | hitsujiTMO: all my tests show it being significantly faster with a larger buffer, up to 1G. Earlier it was doing 120MB/s ... not sure what its faffing about at now! | 00:46 |
| milamber | Crazydog: typically it is: sudo ldconfig <then press enter> <then type the command name> | 00:46 |
| milamber | Crazydog: you should only have to do the ldconfig thing one time | 00:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | TJ-: any activity on sdx other than the write? | 00:47 |
| milamber | Crazydog: and just to confirm, compiling was something like: configure, make, sudo make install? | 00:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | TJ-: could be the seek times killing you if there is | 00:47 |
| Crazydog | Ya, it was pretty easy. this time around. I just deleted everything and started over | 00:47 |
| Crazydog | found the sgminer.exe seems to work too :) | 00:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | TJ-: well, same goes for source too i guess. | 00:48 |
| milamber | Crazydog: yeah . . . the .exe shouldn't work on linux unless it automatically opened in wine? | 00:50 |
| TJ- | hitsujiTMO: could be I guess... I'm moving it from an LV to a raw partition to ensure, as far as possible, that the data is in contiguous blocks | 00:50 |
| Seppoz | in which file does ubuntu define lowlevel consols? like inittab file | 00:51 |
| Crazydog | Ok, next question I have is how do I take this compiled program to windows now? | 00:51 |
| TJ- | hitsujiTMO: no other activity... freshly re-partitioned. moving data back onto it after reorganising the partitions | 00:51 |

| gogo_ | driver for that | 00:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | gogo_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 00:57 |
| TJ- | gogo_: Ubuntu should already have the driver ... when you plug the device in the driver should be loaded automatically. Try this: "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" and then plug the device in. You should kernel messages showing the device is recognised and configured to /dev/ttyUSB* | 00:58 |

| idaniel | Guys, I have a laptop with internet connection and Ubuntu 12.04 hooked up via an ethernet cord to a desktop that I just cleaned installed Ubuntu 12.04. It says there is a wired connection on the second one. BUT, I can't get on the internet on Firefox. I made my laptop "share" in the internet section. What am I doing wrong? I've looked on the Ubuntu sites too about it. | 01:36 |
| electricalanswer | okay | 01:36 |
| jeffrey_f | idaniel: explain how your network connections are from both systems | 01:37 |
| idaniel | o.k. My laptop is running on the internet just fine. I hooked up an ethernet cord to the desktop that had no connection to the internet. The desktop says I have connection but I can't get online. On the laptop with the connection, I went into the network section, edited it by hitting the wired one and making it share connection. | 01:39 |

| idaniel | yes | 01:40 |
| jeffrey_f | That will not work that way. You would need to plug both into a hub/switch. | 01:41 |
| idaniel | should the other system be set up a certain way in the network section? | 01:41 |
| Tex_Nick | idaniel: how is the laptop connected to the router ? | 01:41 |

| idaniel | ohhhh sorry, my husband needs the computer... gotta go... I'll ask later. sorry | 01:42 |
| TJ- | idaniel: if you're going to share a connection, it'd be the interface that connects to the Internet, not the one connecting to the other PC | 01:43 |

| gmachine_24 | please | 02:17 |
| gmachine_24 | The_Alpha_Omega: I was running a server with an Athlon CPU but the drives got too small and I just built a new box for $350 and bc I haven't had a new desktop for years it seems insnely fast; I'm just sayin'. . . | 02:19 |

| jeffrey_f | gmachine_24: If somehow we could get it as close to XP as possible, we'd have a winner. Then re-educating that It isn't windows and most windows software won't work even with emulation. 95% would be education | 02:36 |
| gmachine_24 | jeffrey_f: yeah.... but you have people who cannot afford a new computer and if they get a new(er) computer they will likely new new versions of all their favorite programs - so you're talking major money. | 02:38 |
| jeffrey_f | The biggest thing is no itunes....that would throw most people off of Linux of any flavor. Example: my girlfriend....Liked it, but couldn't figure out *no itunes* thing | 02:38 |

| gmachine_24 | jeffrey_f: and here I thought no itunes was a plus | 02:38 |

| jeffrey_f | gmachine_24: Last time I *TRIED* iTunes, Itunes decided to remove all of my music. Never again. | 02:39 |
| jeffrey_f | gmachine_24: Amarok or Rhythmbox, I'm happy | 02:41 |
| gmachine_24 | jeffrey_f: I had it installed once so I could download the "free" itunes songs given away with/by starbucks; that novelty wore off quickly | 02:41 |

| natas | i am having trouble installing teamviewer's latest version on ubuntu 13.10, but i get a dependency error for lib32asound2, i tried debi, no luck, tried manually getting the package, no luck? | 04:34 |
| evon | For some reason MPG 4 videos play choppy on my computer. I've read that this could be due to slow hardware but my hardware is pretty good I believe (2.8ghz 6core AMD chip, 6gigs of ram, solid state drive, Nvidia GTX460) | 04:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | natas: sudo apt-get install libasound2:i386 | 04:35 |
| Tex_Nick | evon: have you tried playing it with VLC ? | 04:36 |
| evon | Tex_Nick, yes same prob | 04:36 |
| evon | natas, that's a known error. don't install the x64 bit version | 04:36 |
| natas | that's the advice i keep getting | 04:37 |
| natas | but at the same time, i have seen people fix it | 04:37 |
| natas | in fact, someone fixed it with gdebi | 04:37 |
| jerry_ | ;) | 04:37 |
| evon | natas, i didn't bother fixing it. I just installed the other version. didn't see that advantage in getting the 64bit | 04:37 |

| natas | it's the principle of it, rofl | 04:38 |
| natas | but yea, in the end, need to work | 04:38 |
| Ben64 | natas: why not use something native, like vnc? | 04:38 |
| natas | because we always use teamviewer, because it works great | 04:38 |
| evon | ben54, installing now | 04:39 |

| evon | ben64 just found a gui front-end for it | 04:41 |
| Ben64 | evon: this is to help diagnose :) you can use that if you want afterwards | 04:41 |

| evon | Ben64, audio out of sync majorly though | 04:43 |
| Ben64 | could be the file | 04:43 |
| Tex_Nick | evon: my experience with that issue would be that, the video is encoded in a rather aggressive manner (x264) ... graphics chipset is of utmost importance there though | 04:44 |
| evon | ben64, tex_nick anyway to fix that? | 04:44 |
| Ben64 | mplayer uses vdpau, so it hardware accelerates x264 and other mpeg4 video files | 04:45 |
| Ben64 | if you pastebin the output from watching the video on command line version, it'd be helpful | 04:45 |

| evon | Tex_Nick, the video looked fine. just the audio was out of sync | 04:51 |

| raj1991raj | cfhowlett: k | 05:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | lotuspsychje: only issue is that the wifi would have to be up, before the login for what you're asking. maybe a cron instead? | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | hitsujiTMO: but if the thief cant enter ubuntu desktop..he will format the machine instead | 05:16 |
| lotuspsychje | maybe a guest account could help me then | 05:17 |

| Piranah420 | ihavenonick using VLC ? | 05:42 |
| ihavenonick | i tried using "additional hardware" to find drivers, and I tried installing a proprietary driver through that, but I get "installed but not active" | 05:43 |
| ihavenonick | Piranah420: same with vlc, the default movie player, even youtube videos | 05:43 |
| lotuspsychje | !ati | ihavenonick | 05:43 |
| ubottu | ihavenonick: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 05:43 |
| ihavenonick | anyway, i ended up downloading the driver manually from AMD, and i followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD | 05:43 |
| Bitwise | No sethj_ | 05:43 |
| Piranah420 | ihavenonick I have not ran ATI in ages :( Sorry wish I could help. Perhaps someone else on #Ubuntu can offer some help ? | 05:44 |
| ihavenonick | after I installed that driver, it worked great - videos are just as fast as XP again | 05:44 |
| ihavenonick | but then after like running for a while, it suddenly gets laggy again | 05:44 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick: did you recently update your system? | 05:44 |
| ihavenonick | it's like it suddenly stopped using the hardware to do graphics acceleration, and switched back to software or something | 05:44 |
| ihavenonick | lotuspsychje: nope, it's a fresh ubuntu install | 05:45 |
| Piranah420 | 13 or 12 ? | 05:45 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick: did you setup with an internet connection? | 05:45 |
| ihavenonick | Piranah420: 12.04 LTS | 05:45 |
| ihavenonick | lotuspsychje: i ran the installation while connected to the internet, yes | 05:45 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick: enabled download updates during setup/third party software? | 05:46 |
| ihavenonick | i just can't understand why video works great after i do a reboot, but then suddenly starts lagging again | 05:46 |
| ihavenonick | lotuspsychje: yup, i've installed updates | 05:46 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick: lshw -C video and paste whats next to driver= plz | 05:46 |
| Piranah420 | Not sure on ATI but NVIDIA once I loaded the 3rd party option there was like 8 versions of the video driver that was avail | 05:47 |
| Piranah420 | and i jyst meen 3rd party for the package manager | 05:47 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick: doublecheck if you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras also | 05:47 |

| ihavenonick | "searching for available drivers" takes forever =) | 05:55 |
| === sethj_ is now known as sethj | ||
| ihavenonick | ok, i don't see anything different from before, just 2 ati/amd proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers: experimental beta, and post-release updates | 05:56 |
| ihavenonick | i tried activating them both before, but after a reboot all it says it "installed by not activated", and I can't see to activate it | 05:56 |
| sethj | ihavenonick have you tried both? | 05:56 |
| ihavenonick | sethj: yup, i could not activate neither | 05:56 |

| ihavenonick | (and now that i did, neither of the drivers under "additional drivers" are installed | 05:57 |

| === aman is now known as Guest90994 | ||
| ihavenonick | lotuspsychje: i hadn't installed a different driver through "additional drivers", and so i haven't rebooted, and so lshw -C video still says the same thing | 06:00 |

| cfhowlett | ihavenonick, if it's only video that is struggling, I'd suggest that either you've got the wrong graphic driver or your GPU is over-taxed. Assuming you're on unity, install a lighter desktop, e.g. xfce4 or lxde and then try your video again | 06:02 |
| elky | lotuspsychje: next time mangle the url so they don't get bonus google exposure from our logs :) | 06:03 |
| ihavenonick | cfhowlett: but video is great after i reboot, it just starts lagging after a while; also, it was never this bad on windows xp | 06:03 |
| elky | lotuspsychje: thanks though :) | 06:03 |
| ihavenonick | cfhowlett: i could watch hd videos full screen with no problem, now i can't (after the video starts lagging - it's fine after a fresh reboot before the lagging kicks in) | 06:04 |

| dash09 | hi, i can't find answer by internet search so.. each time i click on "Dash Home" for USER_1 my Dash and Menu Bar turn into yellow blocks, loss of text, lines like a static television channel, for USER_2, no trouble. how do i figure out differences and make USER_1's settings like USER_2's? | 06:04 |
| elky | lotuspsychje: change it in some way so it won't work | 06:05 |
| dash09 | i have reset ubuntu unity plugin in ccsm numerous times, even tried unity --reset. not working | 06:05 |
| lotuspsychje | elky: ok roger | 06:06 |
| dash09 | should i try something like this? mkdir ~/.old-gnome-config/ && mv ~/.gnome* ~/.old-gnome-config/ && mv ~/.gconf* ~/.old-gnome-config/ && mv ~/.metacity ~/.old-gnome-config/ && mv ~/.cache ~/.old-gnome-config/ && mv ~/.dbus ~/.old-gnome-config/ && mv ~/.dmrc ~/.old-gnome-config/ && mv ~/.mission-control ~/.old-gnome-config/ && mv ~/.thumbnails ~/.old-gnome-config/ && ~/.config/dconf/* ~/.old-gnome-config/ | 06:09 |
| dash09 | just to reset things for USER_1's setup? | 06:09 |
| ihavenonick_ | i just reboot again, and my video works great again without actually changing the drivers in any way | 06:16 |
| ihavenonick_ | is there some diagnostic i can look at to compare how things look when they're good, vs. how things look when they're bad? | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick_: lshw -C video shows another driver= now? | 06:20 |
| ihavenonick_ | lotuspsychje: lshw is still giving the same output | 06:22 |
| ihavenonick_ | however, i think i managed to reproduce the problem | 06:22 |
| ihavenonick_ | everything was fine until i went to the dash, and the transparent window came up | 06:22 |
| ihavenonick_ | is it possible that the transparency pushed the hardware acceleration too far, and ubuntu switches to software acceleration at the lost of poorer performance? | 06:23 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick_: try disable background blur in ccsm/unity plugin | 06:23 |
| ihavenonick_ | lotuspsychje: is the ccsm/unity plugin something i can download through the software center? | 06:24 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick_: yes search for compizconfig settings manager | 06:24 |
| Raymondo | hey. I was plugging in a new display and I managed to screw up my graphics drivers somehow (ati catalyst). booted into a blank desktop.

| ihavenonick_ | lotuspsychje: is it actually called "background blur"? i'm not sure what i'm looking for here | 06:26 |
| lotuspsychje | active blur or something | 06:27 |
| lotuspsychje | ihavenonick_: and set to 'no blur' | 06:28 |
| Raymondo | this is the advice I was following so far: http://askubuntu.com/a/363238 | 06:28 |
| Raymondo | is there a command line method to switch to default gfx drivers? | 06:29 |
| ihavenonick_ | lotuspsychje: alright, i went to advanced preferences and filtered for "blur", there's "KDE Compatibility" plugin with a "Support Blur Effect", and I unchecked that | 06:29 |
| ihavenonick_ | lotuspsychje: and there is a "Ubuntu Unity Plugin", and under Experimental, there's a "Dash Blur" that i can select "Active Blur", "Static Blur" , and "No Blur" | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | no blur yes | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | thats the1 | 06:30 |
| ihavenonick_ | I set it to "No Blur", i guess I'll reboot and try to reproduce the problem again...thanks | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | ok good luck | 06:31 |

| ihavenonick | lotuspsychje: well, it's better now without the blur effect; SD videos play fine (and I like the UI much more without the blur anyway); i manage to kill my ability to watch HD videos by playing 3 videos at once, that seemed to push it over, and now my HD videos will be laggy until i reboot again | 06:45 |

| ThisWeeksCoin | Hey guys. I need help | 07:22 |
| ThisWeeksCoin | I got infected on windows and I'm trying to find a way to remove the virus through my Ubuntu. Could anyone help, please? | 07:23 |
| Gallomimia_ | my favorite method is to copy your essential files out and delete the partition with windows on it. never use windows again. if that's not your cup of tea, you could run a windows rescue disk, or after erasing everything on the partition as above, reinstall windows 8 | 07:24 |
| mnemon | ThisWeeksCoin: you'll be better off by downloading a bootable antivirus thingy from one of the major av vendors or reinstalling. | 07:24 |
| Gallomimia_ | perhaps selectively erasing files which are infected and using the rescue disk to reinstall them will work | 07:24 |
| ThisWeeksCoin | mnemon, I have bitcoin wallets there | 07:24 |
| ThisWeeksCoin | I can't use anything | 07:25 |
| ThisWeeksCoin | It lags badly | 07:25 |
| ThisWeeksCoin | Like the CPU usage is over 90% | 07:25 |
| mnemon | just copy the wallets from the disk then | 07:25 |
| Gallomimia_ | ThisWeeksCoin: dude. get your wallets copied off that disk immediately. | 07:25 |
| ThisWeeksCoin | Did that already, sent my coins | 07:25 |

| === epzil0n is now known as Guest1282 | ||
| Gallomimia_ | ThisWeeksCoin: two things. you should be able to mount your windows partition, if it's not already, with the "disks" program and copy any files you need off that drive. back everything up that you need now. | 07:27 |
| shubhamjain | I am using nethogs. and `nethogs mbn0` doesn't work. | 07:28 |

| spacemaster | Ok, so, this is the channel with more users at freenode. Let's do a test. Say "damntest" if you read this in this very min and then let's count how many of the 1642 users are really here | 07:29 |
| rww | spacemaster: this is a support channel, not a science lab, sorry. | 07:29 |

| spacemaster | spam? it was a simple test | 07:31 |
| spacemaster | but ok | 07:31 |
| ishanyx | if 1647 people sent that message it would be spam, yes | 07:31 |
| spacemaster | once in a lifetime | 07:31 |
| spacemaster | just to check how many people are online at any given moment at irc nowadays | 07:32 |
| Gallomimia_ | please. back to ubuntu | 07:32 |
| rww | anyways, we now return to your scheduled support channel | 07:32 |
| spacemaster | no wonder people don't use irc anymore. this is kinda too much rules too much high noses... | 07:32 |
| rww | spacemaster: you're welcome to go to #ubuntu-offtopic and play there | 07:33 |
| spacemaster | ok Thanks | 07:33 |
| spacemaster | And sorry about the spam =) | 07:33 |
| Gallomimia_ | you really think with 1500+ people in a channel we don't need some kind of rules to keep order and civility? it's simple common sense man. go search google for some of that | 07:34 |

| spacemaster | the idea is to just show what people say and ignore all quit's and joines, xchat btw | 07:40 |
| rww | spacemaster: for this channel or all channels? | 07:40 |
| IdleOne | spacemaster: the idea here is to keep this channel Ubuntu support related only. Please join us in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:40 |
| rww | IdleOne: they're asking a support question now :P | 07:41 |
| IdleOne | I saw no question | 07:41 |

| rww | spacemaster: right-click it in the channel selector, there's an option for it somewhere in there | 07:41 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:42 |

| bazhang | spacemaster, for all network, go into preferences, for single channel right click. you might also consider Hexchat | 07:46 |

| diepes | Hello everyone | 08:26 |
| DoverMo | diepes, hello | 08:28 |
| diepes | Any recommendations for a dual panel file manager that works well with Ubuntu? | 08:28 |
| diepes | Or a way to add it to the default file manager ? | 08:29 |
| varunendra | diepes, have you tried "F3" in nautilus? | 08:35 |
| tedescoplus | ciao | 08:36 |
| tedescoplus | !list | 08:36 |
| ubottu | tedescoplus: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 08:36 |
| spacemaster | ctrl + T in nautilus usually works | 08:36 |
| spacemaster | plus you should go to preferences and check the box that says "always open in navigation panels" or something like that | 08:37 |
| varunendra | spacemaster, yup, but side-by-side panel has its own advantages :) | 08:37 |
| spacemaster | Oh side by side. Well then I guess I'm no help cause I just use nautilus | 08:39 |
| varunendra | spacemaster, nautilus does that with "F3" :) | 08:41 |
| spacemaster | Ok. Will try it when in linux. Now im on Seven | 08:42 |
| diepes | spacemaster: ctrl + t worked (using Files) default file manager, but it is only tabs. | 08:45 |
| spacemaster | well diepes what do you really want to be able to do? Yes it is only tabs, that's how I usually use it. | 08:45 |
| spacemaster | have you tried F3 like varunendra said? | 08:47 |
| spacemaster | from a screenshot it looks like what you want | 08:47 |
| spacemaster | http://i.stack.imgur.com/mCVVl.png | 08:47 |
| diepes | better than nothing, but side by side panels is handy when sorting files into multiple folders. | 08:47 |
| diepes | Yes tried F3 does nothing | 08:48 |
| varunendra | diepes, Ubuntu version ? | 08:48 |
| varunendra | diepes, on my 12.03 here, View > Extra Pane (or F3) in nautilus. | 08:49 |
| varunendra | sorry, 12.04 :P | 08:49 |
| spacemaster | varunendra, that link I sent is what it does right when you push f3? | 08:52 |
| diepes | varunendra: 13.10, file manager called "Files" maybe the name changed. No Extra under File > Preferences > Views | 08:52 |
| varunendra | diepes, yup, just looked it up. Here's a discussion : http://askubuntu.com/questions/285588/is-there-a-way-to-restore-nautilus-split-screen-f3-feature | 08:53 |

| Carlital | Hi everyone | 09:20 |
| Carlital | I have a small question : I use Selenium Webdriver to execute tests on a linux machine. I launch firefox windows on my selenium server and from my client I would like to somehow get the visual results (video stream) of what is being executed in the firefox window on the server. I don't know how to do it (searched Xephyr and XNest but I think I'm misleaded) | 09:23 |
| Carlital | Do you guys have any idea? | 09:23 |
| aeon-ltd | Carlital: using something like vnc? it might be overkill though if you just want the selenium test results | 09:24 |
| Carlital | That's a good idea but that would mean that each person running my tests would have access to a single machine | 09:25 |
| Carlital | I was thinking about having several firefox windows running in parallel on a single server machine and then have several streams that I could distribute to the # users | 09:25 |
| Carlital | but that's what I will eventually do I guess (private cloud with several VM and a firefox window opening in full screen and HTML5 vnc client to stream the video of what is being executed) | 09:26 |
| aeon-ltd | i'm not sure about that, the way i've used vnc is just remote desktop purposes. i.e i see the while screen and that's the only stream | 09:27 |
| Carlital | aeon-ltd: I see, that's how TestingBot and SauceLabs are doing | 09:27 |
| Carlital | but that also means running a VM each time a new user connects :) | 09:27 |
| Name141 | How do you remove this amazon junk? | 09:28 |
| Carlital | thanks for the insight | 09:28 |
| aeon-ltd | yeah | 09:28 |
| aeon-ltd | Carlital: there is probably some kind of extension/addon that would allow mirroring (like chrome to chromecast) for firefox | 09:29 |
| Carlital | thanks, I'll get back to work then and setup that private cloud | 09:32 |

| rcw2 | bekks, ive been using k13.10 for a while without issue, but using wireless internet. today, recently i wanted to switch to wired as opposed to wireless, and twice when i started using the wired connection, the video on the screen becomes unclear, and i have cold-rebooted the computer to restart | 09:49 |
| bekks | rcw2: So thats a video your watching over the network? | 09:50 |
| rcw2 | bekks, no, its just the desktop | 09:50 |
| alexis__ | hi | 09:50 |
| rcw2 | bekks, soon after the wired connection starts upo | 09:51 |
| rcw2 | up* | 09:51 |
| rcw2 | the desktop becomes unclear | 09:51 |
| bekks | rcw2: So its not the video but the desktop. | 09:51 |
| rcw2 | yes, im calling the desktop video here | 09:51 |
| bekks | rcw2: Please call the desktop desktop. | 09:52 |
| rcw2 | so apparently theres some conflict with the lan card and the video card, right? | 09:52 |
| rcw2 | bekks, ok, desktop=desktop | 09:52 |
| bekks | rcw2: Most likely it is some issue with a single software component in KDE, not with the graphics card itself. | 09:52 |
| rcw2 | any recommendations for troubleshooting the particular software | 09:53 |
| rcw2 | component | 09:53 |
| rcw2 | it will be hard to test, as i must reboot soon after testing the wired connection | 09:53 |

| inominat | Would be great to script messages for irc, do anyone have a good solution to do so? | 10:41 |
| ant_thomas | When attempting a netinstall/minimal install is it normal to have to wait ages to go from selecting the mirror to "loading additional components" I'm sure in the past this has been near enough instant but in all my recent 12.04 install it sits for a very long time. What is actually happening at this point? | 10:41 |
| cfhowlett | interweb, come on now, don't be lazy. But a vpn/vps out of country and surf to your heart's content. I'm in Beijing. This is how it works. | 10:41 |
| gordonjcp | interweb: you don't pay, you don't play | 10:42 |
| cfhowlett | interweb, of course, if you've a friend beyond the firewall who'll set up a vpn point for you, great! otherwise, spend the dough, get r done. | 10:42 |
| bekks | inominat: Doing so is considered to be spamming. | 10:42 |
| interweb | Should I have a proxy server to use squid ? | 10:43 |
| bekks | interweb: No. squid is a local proxy server. | 10:43 |

| interweb | bekks, So Could I bypass the censorship using it ? | 10:45 |
| bekks | inominat: No. An alias is an appreviation of a longer command. | 10:45 |
| bekks | inominat: Not without a server located outside your country. | 10:46 |
| streulma | bekks: maybe something incompatible with the Macbook and unity? | 10:46 |

| inominat | bekks: Okey, one last question: what do you think about running a Windows-Server 2012 on a laptop as hipyerviser with hyper-v to use multiple systems and test environments on one platform? Why not ESXI? Well the UNIX Problem, that there is no x-serve in the kernel and therefore no ways to use the VM from the host-maschine. What do you think? | 10:55 |
| bekks | inominat: I think: it has entirely nothing to do with Ubuntu support. | 10:55 |
| inominat | bekks: YOu are right, but there are running a ubuntu maschine inside :D so come on, what do you think? | 10:56 |
| bekks | inominat: it has nothing to do with ubuntu support. | 10:56 |
| streulma | inominat: I should use a minimal Linux system for it | 10:56 |

ODM is messing things up, as it didn't install properly, so now I can't remove it, nor can I upgrade or complete the install. My firefox is version 20, and for some reason is stopping me now from clicking on javascript, although javascript is enabl | 10:57 |

| Speiros | MonkeyDust certain programs won't function. I'm scared of having this, my last internal hard drive with all my programs on it screwed up. | 11:01 |
| Moonshine | can anyone help me? =[ | 11:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Speiros still too vague... "won't function"? | 11:01 |
| spacemaster | Moonshine, what's your problem | 11:01 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust, because of the database issues because of ODM, I can't upgrade onto the internal harddrive. | 11:01 |
| Moonshine | im trying to run a .exe it's aunlocker for WoW for a rotation bot but it wont load via wine | 11:02 |
| MonkeyDust | Speiros what's ODM? | 11:02 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust, let me check the name, as I could be wrong | 11:02 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust, sorry, OBM | 11:02 |
| Ben64 | why even upgrade? you could do a fresh install | 11:02 |
| spacemaster | well wine doen't load everything... | 11:02 |

| Speiros | TJ- I don't know. It's called OBM. | 11:05 |
| TJ- | Speiros: OK ... so if it is causing problems... how did you install it originally? Using "apt-get" or "dpkg" or manually building and installing? | 11:05 |
| Speiros | Ben64 I've tried that way too. I don't know how to, and I know it will mess up when I get to the part when I can't chat to someone to guide me through it. | 11:05 |
| Speiros | No, I just want to fix the 12.0.4 thing, not worry about the database program as it's a nightmare. | 11:06 |
| Ben64 | Speiros: 1. backup all your important data to that external drive you were talking about. 2. download and burn 12.04 iso. 3. boot it, and install. you can be on the live system while its installing and be here | 11:06 |
| Speiros | Ben64 you and I went through this step before. I can't burn to disk. I have the image on the external hard drive, but nothing happens. | 11:07 |
| Ben64 | Speiros: then use a usb drive? | 11:07 |
| Speiros | Ben64 I need a flash drive. My external hard drive is on USB, but this must be different I think, is it? | 11:08 |

| Speiros | I'm pretty sure. | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | well thats doubly wrong | 11:12 |
| Speiros | Ben64 Yes. It doesn't work. | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | 1. its not a tar 2. you don't extract it | 11:12 |
| Speiros | Ben64, okay. Can you tell me please some commands to type into terminal so I can see what happens and I can give you the details? I can attempt ti now. | 11:13 |
| Speiros | Ben64 Seriously, I am going crazy. This version of Ubuntu is the last one I had working, and I've already lost one computer due ot computer rage, and two others are stuffed, and now I am on my final one. | 11:13 |
| Ben64 | you just need to get the right image, which is not a tar, its an iso, and put it on the external drive correctly. you can either use something like unetbootin, or you can dd the image directly to the drive. | 11:14 |
| Speiros | Ben64 I don't know what those terms mean. | 11:14 |
| Ben64 | format the external drive, use the ext3 filesystem. use "unetbootin" to put the 12.04 iso onto the external drive | 11:15 |
| bekks | Use ext4 nowadays. | 11:16 |
| Ben64 | idk if 10.04 has that as an option | 11:16 |

| bekks | dontRenameMe: you cant. | 11:17 |
| Speiros | Yes, there is an ext4 option, but I'll give it another go. I'll tell you when I've re-formatted it (but I'm wondering if I can thanks to the database issue anyway. | 11:17 |
| bekks | dontRenameMe: just use "touch filename" to create an empty file named "filename". | 11:17 |
| dontRenameMe | touch does not work with ftp | 11:17 |
| bekks | neither does nano. | 11:18 |
| dontRenameMe | nano can to create file | 11:18 |

| cfhowlett | Speiros, fair enough. | 12:07 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, does this box dual boot? have you access to any other computer? | 12:07 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett No. Last time I had a computer and went through this, I finally bashed the crap out of it, and threw it away. | 12:08 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett This problem has been going on for years, and I've not been able to cope. | 12:08 |
| Petazz | IS there no way of using the unitu switcher to show all windows straight away? | 12:08 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, let's not go there :) | 12:08 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett lol, good plan | 12:09 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett an option box from usb start up has opened...I'll just read it | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, nice ... | 12:09 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett Although this might sound silly, I am going to now enter the password a second time for authentication, but when I do, I believe it will once again say unable to boot...here goes anyhow. | 12:12 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett Yep..."Failed to install the bootloader". | 12:12 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, you are entering your admin password? | 12:12 |
| manlin | hi users, i want to stop cups smb service from autostarting on boot. how to do it? anyone please | 12:12 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett yep | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, any chance you hit the incorrect password? | 12:13 |
| Tobzion | Hi. I have an issue. I installed Ubuntu 10.4. Today when I reeboot after Ubuntu logga the screen is dark Grey and the cursor is an X. I can move around but no icons or menu and no key shortcuts work. I can still access the files on computer from my phone or TV. Anyone can assist me ty. | 12:13 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett I think it is because I changed the root password previously, and the admin password is different. I have two passwords for authorisation. | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | Tobzion, 10.04 is end of life. Install a supported version | 12:13 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett If I type an incorrect password it gives me a different message. | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, you have a ROOT password!? | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | !root | 12:14 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:14 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett yes. | 12:14 |
| kendrick_ | In Ubuntu 8 my wires connection works but in Ubuntu 13 it doesn't. | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, OK then ... well, refusing to install the bootloader due to no authorization is normal behavior ... | 12:14 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett, well my computer has two passwords, and I believe that this is the main problem. | 12:14 |
| kendrick_ | Wireless | 12:15 |
| kendrick_ | My wired sorry | 12:15 |
| Tobzion | Ok. I guess I just install 12.04 then | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, I've 2 accounts: one daily use, one admin. | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | Tobzion, highly recommended ... | 12:15 |
| kendrick_ | Hey in Ubuntu 8 wired connection works but in 13 it doesn't. | 12:16 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett The problem is that from here, I can't format the main drive I'm using, as I reckon I'll get stuck where I'll need online help and won't be able to get access to it. | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, if you ever get your boot USB up, just run the live session and install in the background | 12:17 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett this is why I wanted the external drive to have the iso, which I actually copied onto there previously, but have deleted it today to go through the system as people tell me that it can't just be copied. | 12:17 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett I don't know how to get the boot USB up, as I can't disk create. | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, alternatives: go to your public library. download the iso and make a usb or cdrom from there | 12:18 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett I have added passwords, and when I get a fail in this stupid OBM or whatever it is called, it says "Password:Yes", but | 12:18 |
| === james_ is now known as Guest79163 | ||
| Speiros | cfhowlett Yes, I guess it is something like that that is required. | 12:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Speiros is this the OBM you are talking about http://obm.org/ | 12:19 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust Yes | 12:20 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust when I went to load it, it didn't load fully, but it also isn't able to be deleted. | 12:21 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust also, I installed it because of some problem, thinking it was something else, I think. I can't recall the exact reason but something to do with database system. | 12:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Speiros are you running ubuntu server? | 12:22 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust No. | 12:22 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust I'm running the distro Ubuntu 10.4 as I haven't been able to upgrade. | 12:23 |
| Speiros | MonkeyDust I made an unsuccessful upgrade to 10.10 on one of my computers a long time back. That was my last successful...although it didn't work properly...upgrade. | 12:24 |
| realNWO | anyone know of a cert manager or konversation cert paths | 12:26 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett is there a terminal command to use usb-creator-gtk instead of opening the program? It might show the error that way in the attempt of loading it. | 12:26 |
| gaaaaa | problem dual booting windows8 and ubuntu 12.04 | 12:27 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, sure usb-creator-gtk will launch it - but the error is, as you suggested, probably a password issue. You have 2; try both | 12:27 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett The password is accepted, but then it doesn't open. I'll show you the two different messages. Hang on a minute.. | 12:28 |
| gaaaaa | problem dual booting windows8 and ubuntu 12.04 | 12:28 |

| Speiros | cfhowlett The message for the wrong password is "Authentication Failure" | 12:29 |
| gaaaaa | okay | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, exactomundo | 12:29 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett The message for the right password is "Installation Failure" with no added explanation. | 12:29 |

| fpghost84 | Hi, I'd like to create a user/group for a certain daemon, could anyone give me a rough idea of how to do so? I have to use useradd? Then how do I associate the daemon to the group? | 12:30 |
| Speiros | lol other than ouija? | 12:31 |
| llutz | fpghost84: "sudo -g newgroup daemon" or "-u newuser" (man sudo) | 12:32 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, I ran the -h option to see if it might possible to trigger verbose error reporting - no such luck. Plan B; download unetbootin from sourceforge, install and create. If the error persists, you might need to revisit that root/admin password arrangement | 12:32 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett I found unetbootin, although it is displayed as a box with a questionmark in it in my applicatons | 12:33 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett what can I do with unetbootin? | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, terminal unetbootin | 12:34 |

| sultan | will u do it on my pc now for me | 12:40 |

| Speiros | cfhowlett I have the boot order so that usb goes first, then hard drive | 12:50 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, course not. try this: go into bios setting and disable (temporarily) the HDD. reboot with usb priority | 12:50 |

| cfhowlett | Ben64, usb-creator-gtk I think | 12:51 |
| Speiros | cfhowlett f9 is to change the boot order, what is bios | 12:51 |
| Speiros | unetbootin | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | Speiros, differs by machine. it'll flash display during power on self test | 12:51 |

| LjL | pikaren: act of faith | 12:59 |
| cfhowlett | pikaren, trust it to what? | 12:59 |
| pikaren | maybe it would steal my money | 13:00 |
| MonkeyDust | pikaren why would you not trust them? | 13:00 |
| bazkie_bumpercar | hey everyone, i was wondering if ubuntu 12.04 was using grub or grub2 by default? | 13:00 |
| cfhowlett | pikaren, repos' dont' steal, people steal | 13:00 |
| === j_f-f_ is now known as j_f-f | ||
| cfhowlett | bazkie_bumpercar, grub2 | 13:00 |
| llutz | pikaren: simple, in doubt you cannot trust anyone | 13:00 |
| MonkeyDust | pikaren they only steal your identity, not your money | 13:00 |
| humbolt1 | when I have a system installed on a disk with an MBR partition table and I convert that table to GPT, will my system still boot without any additional intervention?! | 13:00 |
| bazkie_bumpercar | okay thanks cfhowlett :) | 13:00 |
| LjL | pikaren: pick an OS you feel you can trust. there isn't really a way to *ensure* it's trusted, unless maybe you use one that you compile yourself from almost the ground up (and inspect the entire source code of) | 13:00 |
| Simpson_2 | I'm having issues autostarting postgres 9.1 on system boot, manual start afterwards works fine, it has shared memoery issues it claims. does shared memoery change between boot and running phase ? | 13:00 |
| LjL | bazkie_bumpercar: LILO | 13:01 |
| bazkie_bumpercar | lol, hi ljl :D | 13:01 |
| llutz | pikaren: so either you trust or you don't use it | 13:01 |
| cfhowlett | humbolt1, convert: yes. without additional intervention? hopefully, usually, probably, but just in case ... backup | 13:01 |
| pikaren | and how do we trust the mirrors | 13:01 |
| llutz | pikaren: same story | 13:01 |
| humbolt1 | cfhowlett: I'll backup the initial MBR and partition layout. | 13:01 |
| pikaren | maybe some mirrors would inject something | 13:01 |
| humbolt1 | cfhowlett: anything else? | 13:01 |
| cfhowlett | pikaren, assuming you have a wiki or tutorial. get lots of rest, ease up on the alcohol/coffee and proceed cautiously. | 13:02 |
| llutz | pikaren: repos/mirros are signed but you still have to trust. no way around that | 13:02 |
| humbolt1 | cfhowlett: partition GUIDs stay the same I suppose and grub2 should not have any trouble with GPT, or does it? | 13:02 |
| MonkeyDust | pikaren if they did, everyone would know and anticipate, anticipaten as linux is a glass house | 13:02 |
| pikaren | so its no different from windows when it comes to security | 13:03 |
| llutz | pikaren: nope | 13:03 |
| gordonjcp | pikaren: no, it's entirely different | 13:03 |
| cfhowlett | humbolt1, I don't have enough knowledge to give an informed answer | 13:03 |
| gordonjcp | pikaren: if you don't trust the repos, you can compile from source | 13:03 |
| gordonjcp | pikaren: do you know how public key infrastructure works? | 13:03 |
| llutz | gordonjcp: you still have to audit the source then | 13:03 |
| humbolt1 | cfhowlett: an educated answer that is. | 13:03 |
| cfhowlett | pikaren, or go whole hog and roll your own distro | 13:03 |

| luk_ | I have question about "how to manage consistent version of the system across multiple machines" ... it might be little long, I'll try to give an usecase as a example, maybe you will be able do advise me the best approach | 13:15 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: ^^ | 13:15 |
| luk_ | I don't if it's good place to ask | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | rigarcia, 'tis what we do ... | 13:15 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo I use the USB HDD's on a regular basis as my file systems, and backups, but they seem to work fine. I don't think they need drivers apart from what they already have...although the information could be on the actual HD of my computer. | 13:15 |
| rigarcia | Hpw do you repair a bad physical drive with Ubuntu? | 13:16 |
| libpenguin | how to replace system firefox with new version of firefox downloaded from mozilla.org ? | 13:16 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: I missed the first part of your actual question though.. What are you trying to do with the USB HDD?? and what make/model is it? | 13:16 |
| rigarcia | Imanaged to re-boot the machine with a USB live disk but I'm unable to mount the hard disk | 13:16 |
| rigarcia | Get this error "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmesg | tail [ 765.596217] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] [ 765.596222] Add.

| waperboy | Can I manually make a driver hook into DKMS, so it rebuilds on kernel updates? | 13:17 |
| Ben64 | rigarcia: sounds like a broken drive, you probably can't do anything for it | 13:17 |
| luk_ | I would like to be able to (re)install the ubuntu server with exact the same version of all packages as I have i.e. on existing machines, i.e. today I install 5 machines and in 3 months time I would like to add additional 1-2 machines, but I would like to have them in exactly the same version as the previous one | 13:17 |
| TJ- | waperboy: "man dkms" see "dkms add" | 13:17 |
| luk_ | at the same time, from time to time I would like to make an upgrade of machines to the latest version available in public repo | 13:17 |
| luk_ | is it good place to ask? ;) | 13:18 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo I am trying to use one of them as a USB drive so that I can install the 12.0.4 LTS, as I'm stuck with 10.4, and have a stack of problems. My USB which is the blank one (I've made it ext4 filing system) is a seagate momentus 5400 250gb | 13:18 |
| waperboy | TJ- thanks, I'll look into that | 13:18 |
| rigarcia | Thanks Ben64. In the event that I can't repair the drive is there a way to save some of the files? | 13:18 |
| libpenguin | !clone | 13:18 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 13:18 |
| llutz | luk_: if you update your existing machines and don't do a version upgrade, the package versions will be the same. | 13:18 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: So you're trying to install Ubuntu on to a USB HDD? Where are you installing it from CD/USB stick? | 13:18 |
| TJ- | libpenguin: don't install it manually; use the Mozilla PPA | 13:19 |
| Ben64 | rigarcia: look into ddrescue, if anything can be saved, it can do it | 13:19 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo I also use (this one has my files on it at the present) a Hitachi 120GB drive | 13:19 |
| libpenguin | TJ-: how ? | 13:19 |
| rigarcia | Ben64 Thanks. I'll try | 13:19 |
| llutz | luk_: so backup your packages-list (dpkg --get-selections" and you'll be fine | 13:19 |
| TJ- | libpenguin: I think its called mozillateam-firefox-next | 13:19 |
| Ben64 | libpenguin: why not use ubuntu's version? | 13:19 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo From an image on my hard drive. I loaded it using unetbootin successfully. | 13:19 |
| luk_ | llutz: that simple ... ? ;) | 13:19 |
| llutz | luk_: yes | 13:19 |
| libpenguin | Ben64: want to upgrade firefox only, | 13:20 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo But since doing that, the BIOS tells me that it doesn't see it as a USB | 13:20 |
| Ben64 | libpenguin: ok? so my question still stands. why not use the one in the official ubuntu repositories? | 13:20 |
| luk_ | llutz: what about the availability of the packages ... if I would like to install a new machine in 3 months time ... not all versions may be still avaiable at that time | 13:20 |
| libpenguin | Ben64: site provides version ahead of repo | 13:20 |
| Ben64 | libpenguin: no it doesn't | 13:21 |
| luk_ | llutz: some packages will come from launchpad | 13:21 |
| llutz | luk_: check the supportperiod of the distro-version you run | 13:21 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: So you have your BIOS set to boot from USB? Can you boot from a USB stick/pendrive? | 13:21 |
| llutz | luk_: above only applies to official repos, not to ppa etc. those might cause trouble | 13:21 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo I don't have one. I had a high failure rate of them when doing studies so I havent used on in years. | 13:21 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo also, I don't have the means to get one as I have an injury that has disabled me at least temporarily, and haven't been paid in 7 weeks, and will probably still wait another two | 13:22 |
| libpenguin | Ben64: site version is 26.0 | 13:22 |
| Ben64 | libpenguin: so is the version from the ubuntu repositories, whats your point | 13:22 |
| luk_ | llutz: ok, but still I think your point may be valuable ... maybe I could set up i.e. apt-cacher to protect myself from changes in launchpad | 13:23 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: Can I ask why you're trying to install to a USB HDD and not on to a fixed HDD? This is very unusual and I'm not sure you're going to be able to do it... I'd say if you can boot from a USB Stick/pendrive but not your USB HDD then it's not going to work. Even if it worked, it would be extremely slow... | 13:23 |
| libpenguin | Ben64: ok, how to replace it with updated version ? | 13:23 |
| libpenguin | from repo | 13:23 |
| Ben64 | libpenguin: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:23 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: Can you not install to a fixed, internal HDD? | 13:23 |
| Ben64 | raiderturbo: installing to a fixed drive, using an external as the install media | 13:23 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo I installed Ubuntu 10.10 a long time ago, and it didn't allow functionality, which made my computer totally useless. | 13:23 |
| libpenguin | Ben64: thats my point, upgrade command will upgrade full system and I wanna update firefox only | 13:24 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo I don't want to risk losing functionality, so I want to install without having to mess up my hard drive | 13:24 |
| Ben64 | libpenguin: upgrades are there for a reason, you should do them all anyway, but you can select a single package if you wish | 13:24 |
| libpenguin | Ben64: hmm, ok | 13:25 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo I am happy for options, but I will mention though the problems that I've encountered over the years. | 13:25 |
| Speiros | I had four computers at one stage, one of them being a laptop | 13:25 |
| Speiros | The 10.10 version was useless and stopped that laptop from being useable as certain programs wouldn't function, and there were no alternatives. | 13:26 |
| Speiros | It was just another can of worms. | 13:26 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo I am scared to have the same experience with my last computer. | 13:26 |
| Speiros | especially as I have no means to fix it financially | 13:26 |
| libpenguin | Ben64: but will it replace the old firefox or old version will be left over and kept along with the new version ? | 13:26 |
| Ben64 | libpenguin: replace, yes | 13:27 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: I think your best bet is to boot from USB stick/pendrive as this is much safer. You also shouldn't let past experiences put you off - If you fall off a horse, you should get straight back up and back on the horse... | 13:27 |
| libpenguin | Ben64: ok, and is it possible to automate firefox plugins installation via script ? | 13:27 |
| Ben64 | Speiros: or burn the iso to a cd | 13:28 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: you can get a USB stick for less than $10... (maybe even for free if you ask someone nicely... ;) ) | 13:28 |
| Ben64 | libpenguin: no idea | 13:28 |
| libpenguin | ok | 13:28 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: Or, as Ben64 says, boot from a CD... | 13:28 |
| fpghost84 | llutz: could you tell me that sudo command again please (sorry, got lost above). I've now created the uid and gid, so just need the final piece | 13:29 |
| raiderturbo | Speiros: It does sound like you're not very confident at messing with computers/OS's so I'd stick to what you know for now | 13:29 |
| llutz | fpghost84: "sudo -g newgroup daemon" or "-u newuser" (man sudo) | 13:29 |
| Speiros | Sorry, was afk... | 13:30 |
| Speiros | raiderturbo Ok, thanks for your input. Yes, a flash drive would be great for a one-off experience. See what happens in the future. | 13:31 |
| fpghost84 | llutz: thanks a lot | 13:32 |
| Speiros | Ben64 Yes, it would be great if my CD would allow me to burn from it. I have CD's, a functioning DVD burner, but glitches in the system. Just too long with my hands tied, and now all I have is a mess. | 13:33 |
| Speiros | Ben64 Thanks for your help on these many occasions too mate. At least twice, if not three times. | 13:33 |
| Speiros | Ok, I'm signing out. | 13:33 |
| Speiros | Ciao | 13:34 |
| glitsj16 | Speiros: do you still have a working ubuntu installation? if so you can look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot | 13:34 |
| Ben64 | what glitches prevent you from burning a cd? that doesn't make any sense | 13:34 |
| fpghost84 | llutz: just to be clear, this daemon is started as a sys v init job, will that command set it to run with that uid/gid every time (not just a one time deal)? | 13:34 |
| === shiest_nex5 is now known as shiestie | ||
| llutz | fpghost84: no you have to modifiy the startup-script | 13:35 |
| fpghost84 | llutz: ah | 13:35 |
| llutz | fpghost84: /etc/init.d/yourdaemon | 13:35 |
| Speiros | glitsj16 I guess I can have one more look at something. The problem is there are clusters of problems that are a universe of that song "There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza", and it's horrible as I hate these situations. I'll probably start down that line, but these other errors will come up. | 13:35 |
| Speiros | The only option really is attempt the USB installation from the flash drive, or a disk. | 13:35 |
| Speiros | Ok, thanks anyway. I'm gone. | 13:36 |
| Speiros | glitsj16 Thanks too, I will have a look at your suggestion mate. | 13:36 |
| fpghost84 | llutz: yeah the script in /etc/init.d is the one provided by the daemon, the relevant bits for startup are simply "/usr/local/sbin/daemon -q" | 13:36 |
| CVirus | if I have an x% horizontal/vertical split in byobu .. can't I set a hotkey to maximize this split and de-maximize it ? | 13:37 |
| Sik | Repeating: using Ubuntu 13.04 x64 here, I'm trying to use Anthy but it outright doesn't work (it hangs in some Python process). I'm having this issue since 12.04. Any ideas? I seriously need this to be fixed since I need to test IME support in a program I'm making. ← Also just tried reinstalling, doesn't work :( | 13:38 |
| fpghost84 | llutz: can I not just change the bin file itself? some set the uid gid of the binary? | 13:38 |
| llutz | fpghost84: depends on the binary afaik, just try it | 13:39 |

| hikenboot | hello can anyone tell me what the success rate of getting ubuntu working on powerpc? G5 tower? | 13:56 |
| raiderturbo | hikenboot: about the same as any other OS or PC? | 13:57 |
| MonkeyDust | !ppc | hikenboot | 13:57 |
| ubottu | hikenboot: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 13:57 |
| raiderturbo | hikenboot: Have you checked all of your hardware is supported? | 13:57 |
| hikenboot | raidturbo what hardware in particular its an out of the box g5 tower circa 2008 I believe? | 13:58 |
| Sik | glitsj16: disc drive doesn't work and I don't have a large enough pendrive (or free pendrive, for that matter) - and yes, I'm aware that it's likely that reinstalling the OS will fix it, but I don't want to reinstall the entire thing :P | 13:58 |
| raiderturbo | hikenboot: You'll need to check the manufacturer specs. I don't know much about them... | 13:59 |
| hikenboot | ok well thanks for the pointers | 13:59 |

| pmitros | I miss Debian's 2-year release cycles. | 14:12 |
| pmitros | Well, the choice is clearly to upgrade. | 14:13 |

| pmitros | Wouldn't work. The Ubuntu 6-month release cycle means that half of the things I work on rely on something Ubuntu added since. | 14:14 |

| xavious | I suppose I could figure out the libdvdcss2 install if I knew how to friggin edit the repositories or source.list | 15:31 |
| eradicor | I've recently installed new Geforce GFX card, and it seems something went haywire. It has hdmi audio .. something, and i killed off my ability to select audio input device , so i can use microphone for say steam. | 15:31 |

| === anthony is now known as Guest62472 | ||
| eradicor | What should i do? | 15:32 |
| kostkon | xavious, just run the install-css.sh script | 15:32 |
| Thubo | Can you run alsamixer from the terminal and try to select your sound source there? | eradicor | 15:35 |
| eradicor | Thubo, i can run it sure, but i am not seeing any option how to select input source | 15:37 |
| eradicor | ah.. well the input source gives me 3 options | 15:38 |
| eradicor | front and back mic.. and line | 15:38 |
| Thubo | alsamixer from terminal -> F6 select sound card | 15:38 |
| eradicor | 2 options, nvidia and intel | 15:38 |
| Thubo | try to select intel (which i assume is your onboard device) and try it with this configuration | 15:39 |
| eicoolguy6_ | so i installed ubuntu, and after having many problems with drivers i fixed it, but now i cant change my resolution out of 640x480. so what do i do to change it? | 15:39 |
| eradicor | Thubo, and what of the input sources? | 15:39 |
| eradicor | Front, back or line? | 15:39 |
| eradicor | what do they even mean | 15:39 |
| === jono is now known as Guest43734 | ||
| Thubo | ohmm - i would guess back or line but I can not say for sure. It means which physical input source you want to select | 15:40 |
| eradicor | the default physical mic slot is in use. | 15:40 |
| eradicor | Not sure how it relates to these though. | 15:40 |

| Thubo | Try to put more information to your question...What hardware, what driver problems, how did you fix what? | eicoolguy6_ | 15:47 |
| Munster | xavious, read here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 15:48 |
| eicoolguy6_ | i have an nividia 640m in my laptop. when i installed ubuntu, it would always boot into a black screen. I put the 'nomodset' parameter into the GRUB, and that let me boot and install the driver. | 15:48 |
| eicoolguy6_ | the driver for my graphics card | 15:48 |
| eicoolguy6_ | now i can't change out of 640x480 resolutions | 15:48 |
| viktor_ | hello! | 15:49 |
| eradicor | Thubo, well i managed to get input device back to the list. but .. what is pulseaudio? and alsa .. etc ? Why do i get the feeling there are two difference audio systems next to each other | 15:49 |
| Munster | eicoolguy6_, now that you have the driver installed remove the nomodeset and update-grub, then a reboot | 15:50 |
| Thubo | which drivers did you install? The nvidia drivers shipped with ubuntu or generic ones? What resolutions does 'xrandr -q' give you? | eicoolguy6_ | 15:50 |
| Thubo | ...or try what Munster suggested ;) | eicoolguy6_ | 15:51 |
| eicoolguy6_ | how do i update my grub? sorry. this is literally my first time using linux | 15:51 |
| Thubo | remove the nomodeset with sudo vi /etc/default/grub and then run sudo update-grub | 15:52 |
| eicoolguy6_ | in the terminal? | 15:52 |
| viktor_ | Can sombodey help me? I create multy boot usb.. and in one moment i reinstall grub and have "grub no such device ... ". | 15:52 |
| Munster | eicoolguy6_, how did you remove nomodeset? | 15:53 |
| eicoolguy6_ | i didn't. | 15:53 |
| eicoolguy6_ | i wanted to know how to update grub before doing that | 15:53 |
| Thubo | Both provide a sound server so applications can play sounds - I have both installed in parallel and it is no problem here, but I cannot vouch for that | eradicor | 15:53 |
| Munster | ok follow Thubo's suggestion, eicoolguy6_' | 15:53 |
| eradicor | the stupidist thing is.. in most cases i can get steam to send sound as it should, but it ignores "push-to-talk" | 15:54 |
| eicoolguy6_ | how do i remove nomodset though | 15:54 |
| Thubo | yes, from the terminal. Vi is an editor to edit files, if you dont now how to use it you can also run sudo nano /etc/default/grub | eicoolguy6_ | 15:54 |
| Munster | it's in grub , l;ook for the line "quiet splash" , eicoolguy6_ it will be there | 15:55 |
| eicoolguy6_ | okay | 15:55 |

| sere | sorry | 15:56 |
| eicoolguy6_ | there is no 'nomodset' | 15:56 |
| eicoolguy6_ | just quiet splash. i think when i put it in the grub it was a temporary things | 15:57 |
| certifiednoob | Hey noob here want help with hybrid graphics, pls tell me how to turn off egpu, and keep only igpu for rendering. This is my first time with linux so sorry for asking i suppose we can echo OFF into some config file to achieve this, need some pointers | 15:57 |
| Munster | eicoolguy6_, ok you used it when intalling the OS then , correct? | 15:57 |
| eicoolguy6_ | no. after i installed the os and after selecting to boot into ubuntu it would just load a black screen | 15:58 |
| Thubo | Where did you set the nomodeset parameter then? Temporarily during every boot? | eicoolguy6_ | 16:00 |
| eicoolguy6_ | when loading i pressed shift to load the GRUB menu. then i pressed e on the ubuntu to edit it and put the nomodset parameter after the quiet splash. i only had to do it once though | 16:01 |
| certifiednoob | Hey guys any help for my query is much appreciated :/ | 16:01 |
| Munster | ok , then you didn't update grub afterwards to solidify the setting, eicoolguy6_ | 16:02 |
| eicoolguy6_ | no | 16:02 |
| eicoolguy6_ | i just passed the parameter for the one time so i was able to install the nvidia drivers | 16:02 |
| fris | i recently update apache 2.2 that came with 12.04 to apache 2.4 with a ppa, now im trying to install apache2-dev and i get apache2-dev : Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed, when i try and install libaprutil1-dev i get other depends which cant be installed | 16:03 |
| xavious | Seems every outlet that may have a solution will not load up for whatever eason. Has something to do with my connection. Anyone have the method to correct the K3B DVD transcode error? | 16:03 |
| Munster | hmm, now , alt+F2, type in "additional drivers" do you see any available? | 16:05 |
| Munster | eicoolguy6_,^ | 16:05 |
| eicoolguy6_ | with the qutation marks? | 16:05 |
| Munster | no | 16:05 |
| eicoolguy6_ | no | 16:06 |
| eicoolguy6_ | there are none | 16:06 |
| Munster | eicoolguy6_, what about software sources? | 16:07 |
| eicoolguy6_ | huh? | 16:07 |
| eicoolguy6_ | whats that? | 16:07 |
| Munster | in the panel on the left if you're on unity, eicoolguy6_ | 16:08 |
| eicoolguy6_ | um no | 16:08 |
| eicoolguy6_ | like the sidebar with the applications on it? | 16:09 |
| Munster | yes | 16:10 |
| eicoolguy6_ | no. there is no software sources | 16:10 |
| eicoolguy6_ | there is the ubuntu software center, if thats what you mean | 16:10 |

| Roey | howdy medfly :-) | 16:46 |
| medfly | glitsj16: 11.04. I tried a few of the website versions | 16:47 |
| medfly | the repo one works, it just doesn't work with users who use a newer version | 16:49 |
| glitsj16 | medfly: hmm, 11.04 is end-of-life since quite a bit, so those repos won't be updated any longer to get possible dependencies for the 12.04 version skype offers by default | 16:49 |

| honeybuntu | -->ulkesh. So it is possible. | 17:31 |
| honeybuntu | is there a reco'd thread for such procedure? | 17:31 |
| ulkesh | honeybuntu: sorry, i don't know of any specific thread | 17:32 |
| honeybuntu | -->ulkesh, thank you for indicating the capability of implementing this ubuntu 12.04LTS setup methodology and its advantages. | 17:33 |
| ulkesh | honeybuntu: not sure i was much help, but i know it's possible since i'm doing it :) good luck! | 17:34 |
| honeybuntu | Certainly the added partition must be formatted with the ext4 journalizing filesystem format. | 17:34 |

| ulkesh | honeybuntu: that would be ideal, yes | 17:34 |

| omar_ | do you have any games for linux? | 17:36 |
| glitsj16 | honeybuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving has a nice run-down of the procedure | 17:36 |
| taylanub | kheeper: Your English is very bad but if I got your question right, "find / -name media -prune -o -name some.conf" should do. | 17:36 |
| honeybuntu | the additional ext4 partition that would house the /home directory should follow the ext4 ubuntu 12.04LTS filesystem partition and the last partition would accomodate the linux swap space? | 17:36 |
| minix | kheeper, use -not -path | 17:37 |

| minix | find -name *.js' -not -path './directory/*' | 17:38 |
| taylanub | minix: Probably going to be much slower than using -prune. | 17:38 |

| glitsj16 | no problem | 17:38 |
| honeybuntu | Going , immediately to parse the supplied URL (thread) | 17:38 |
| minix | taylanub, -prune does not exclude the directory itself, it exclude its content, which means you are going to get an unwanted line in the output with the excluded directory | 17:39 |
| taylanub | minix: No you're not, because the name 'media' is not 'some.conf'. | 17:39 |

| imghost | glitsj16, also when he was using lower kernel version then his wireless was working, so i do not think upgrading to new kernel will resolve his problem but compling his own wireless for RT3290 from rail link site will definetly solve his problem | 18:15 |

| honeybuntu | is it tru that linux ubuntu versions are somewhat impervious to viruses? | 19:14 |
| malin_ | honeybuntu: wat | 19:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: hopefully. if you want to use the proprietary drivers. install them from the repo. not directly from ati website as the repo version will be specific to your system. You should also prep for an upgrade to 13.10 as 13.04 is loosing support very soon | 19:15 |
| malin_ | honeybuntu: explain | 19:15 |
| mw46 | hitsujiTMO: the problem, as far as I understand it, is that Sxx scripts are for the state (run as SxxScript start) but that umountfs script does the umounting only when it's called as ``Yxxumountfs stop'' | 19:15 |

| ROPA | I'm getting a disk integrity error on boot with 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 15. I create a boot partition because the bios needs it to operate properly. But, the procedure for creating the boot partition says I need to also tell the bios to use the newly created boot partition. In my bios, there is no means to point it towards the boot sector, unless I create a new boot command..... I named the new command, and now I am faced with | 20:15 |

| glitsj16 | crash_: if that command didn't produce any output at all it means it did what it was supposed to do .. if so you can run "sudo apt-get update" and paste any error output | 20:18 |

| andyfied | i have an HMA-Pro vpn account and i have been trying to get it working on ubuntu. should be easy, but i've had trouble installing gopenvpn | 20:26 |

| andyfied | i'm running 13.10 btw | 20:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | andyfied: try: sudo apt-get install libappindicator1 | 20:29 |
| glitsj16 | crash_: ahh, same thought .. use "sudo do-release-upgrade" .. but before you do, disable those quantal PPA's to give the upgrade a better chance to go smooth | 20:29 |
| andyfied | thx hitsujiTMO | 20:30 |
| glitsj16 | crash_: you should be able to get that GUI to do so now .. software-properties-gtk | 20:30 |
| crash_ | thank you very much for your help | 20:32 |
| andyfied | hitsujiTMO: it's not auto appeared so i'm going to reboot | 20:32 |
| glitsj16 | crash_: you'll see a tab named 'Other Software' .. uncheck the quantal PPA's, close the app and do a "sudo apt-get upgrade" before the "sudoi do-release-upgrade" command | 20:32 |
| glitsj16 | crash_: you're welcome, hope the upgrade goes smooth so you can get back to using the machine | 20:33 |

| Guest33901 | bekks: please give me the way to do so ... And can I recover access to my trash as user and no longer just as root? | 21:26 |
| bekks | Guest33901: Open a terminal, temporarily gain root access using sudo -i, navigate to the trash folder you want to empty, empty it. | 21:26 |

| akim | SchrodingersScat, so i have a q, if i use IRC from different locations, one in the office, one at home, and one VPN'd from a remote location, where do i setup my irc bouncer server?? | 21:50 |
| akim | would it be somewhere out in the interwebs or something? | 21:50 |
| Riptide | I managed to play Gmod on my laptop, but when I played today, (or tried to) I could not move/look around | 21:50 |
| pvl1 | akim: pick a system thats always on | 21:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | ham1: thats everything that has a dependency on that package, but not necessarily installed. comparing that with dpkg --get-selections may geive you the package that installed the config | 21:51 |
| akim | pvl1, do i need to be connected to that irc bouncer in order to use my nick? or can i just connect to the irc server directly while having the irc bouncer connected at the same time | 21:52 |
| ham1 | hitsujiTMO, ah ok, will do | 21:52 |
| akim | i may have a situation where i have two nicks at the same time, i dunno, lol | 21:52 |
| pvl1 | akim: u must go thru the bouncer, as that is the one whos using the nick. afaik | 21:52 |
| akim | i see | 21:53 |
| pvl1 | akim: me personally, i just use weechat, and its relay protocol. theres an android app that is like a remote client | 21:53 |
| akim | pvl1, ah i've heard of weechat :) | 21:53 |
| SchrodingersScat | akim: first make sure the one you install offers the persistence you want, but I've not used one. I use the screen option, then ssh into my computer to get back to it. So when I'm at the office I'm only an ssh away. | 21:53 |
| Riptide | JOIN | 21:53 |

| ham1 | hitsujiTMO, nothing matches between those two lists, I googled the conf file and looks like it might be something to do with nullmailer.. but don't remember installing that - but maybe I did when I first set up the server, I've not got postix and just set up filtering with AMaVIS which is when I noticed something was running on 10025.. | 21:55 |

| pvl1 | certain console apps over ssh flicker a lot, anyone know why | 22:08 |
| bekks | pvl1: Never experienced flickering in the console. | 22:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | pvl1: what app? sounds like its continuously rewriting to the console | 22:10 |
| pvl1 | bekks: its specific it seems, to console apps that arent using ncurses | 22:10 |
| pvl1 | hitsujiTMO: exactly, it was conky cli, and nethogs | 22:10 |
| bekks | pvl1: console applications that do not use ncurses never flicker for me. | 22:10 |
| pvl1 | that reminds me i need to reinstall conky-cli, conky-all removes the cli | 22:10 |
| pvl1 | could it be because i killed my xserver | 22:11 |
| bekks | a console application doesnt even know about X. | 22:11 |
| pvl1 | figured as such | 22:11 |
| pvl1 | this is weird especially because my home network is 100mbit | 22:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | pvl1: most likely a bandwidth issue. not being able to send the data fast enough | 22:12 |
| pvl1 | which is plenty fast | 22:12 |
| bekks | And how much bandwidth is in use? | 22:12 |
| pvl1 | eth0(↓3K/s ↑55K/s) | 22:12 |
| === Guest22282 is now known as rawrite | ||
| hitsujiTMO | maybe a misconfigured sshd | 22:13 |
| === rawrite is now known as Guest29588 | ||
| pvl1 | hm | 22:13 |
| pvl1 | didnt think about that | 22:13 |
| bekks | pvl1: thats a single interface, not the bandwidth in use in the network. | 22:13 |
| pvl1 | bekks: thats the ssh server im connecting to, there cant possibly be enough traffic on my home network that would lag me to it. i can easily fully occupy the 100mbit connection the server | 22:14 |
| pvl1 | plus im ssh'ing weechat and its running fine | 22:16 |

| hetro_ | I am trying to using a vim plugin, I need to find the location .vim/bundle, but I don't know where it is, any ideas? | 22:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | hetro_: ~/ | 22:40 |
| acovrig | Is it possible to log what users do with rsync over ssh? | 22:40 |
| hetro_ | hitsujiTMO, I don't see it there using ls -a | 22:40 |
| hetro_ | cd ~/.vim/bundle leads to no such file or directory error | 22:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | hetro_: then you need to make it. .vim is your personal vim config dir | 22:41 |
| hetro_ | ok, so I would use mkdir? | 22:41 |

| hitsujiTMO | hetro_: this might help http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2332 | 22:43 |
| hetro_ | hitsujiTMO: "Add this to your vimrc" how do I add something to vimrc? | 22:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | hetro_: vimrc is the file ~/.vimrc its your vim config. http://amix.dk/vim/vimrc.html | 22:46 |
| hetro_ | hitsujiTMO: I seem to be missing that file | 22:48 |
| hetro_ | should I just make it and then add "call pathogen#infect()" to it? | 22:48 |

| Karl9876 | Hi, I have a laptop (Samsung Series 9) with a HDMI port for connecting an external monitor. All is fine, except when I pull my power cord to go onto battery power, the external display shuts down. There is nothing related to that in the Power settings... How can I stop it closing my external display when I switch to battery mode? | 22:49 |

| bencc | is it possible to look for the following pattern inside a file? "a9 636d740 000001a6461746100 00000100000000 <arbitrary data> 000000" | 22:50 |
| bencc | spaces are for clarity. <arbitrary data> is what I'm looking for | 22:50 |
| phuh | I need some help with iptables :( what's the real purpose of specifying conntrack? for example, allowing ssh/tcp is written as "iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT" is "-m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED" this part really necessary?? | 22:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | hetro_: you'll need to have pathogen installed too | 22:50 |
| ikonia | phuh: it allows establised out connections back in | 22:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | hetro_: then create the file and add that | 22:51 |
| ikonia | phuh: not needed for ssh as a unique service | 22:51 |
| phuh | ikonia: if I completely omit -m conntrack and --cstate, is it really bad? | 22:52 |
| ikonia | not for ssh no | 22:52 |

| solaries_ | hi all | 22:55 |
| solaries_ | does anyone know why NetworkManager is forced on me upon each release upgrade? I am very happy with wicd, but manually removing NetworkManager, because network does not work anymore after each release upgrade sucks. | 22:56 |
| phuh | ikonia: i think i'm too dumb to understand "are you sending out going packets first that need to respond ?" could you explain in little more detail for dumbster like me? | 22:56 |
| ikonia | phuh: that rule allows a response to any connections you start | 22:56 |
| ikonia | phuh: so eg: if YOU conect to a games server on port 1234 it allows that games server to respond | 22:56 |
| ikonia | phuh: when someone connects to your webserver, you dont make the connection, they make a request and you respond | 22:57 |
| ikonia | phuh: so having that rule on port (for example) seems pointless as your webserver will never start a connection | 22:57 |
| phuh | ikonia: ahh thanks i think i started getting it | 22:58 |
| mw46 | hitsujiTMO: I verified that the umountfs script does what it's supposed to, at least for a smaller microSD card in my BBB;-) It took a while to get a serial console working | 22:59 |

| zapsoda | I ran the command sudo dpkg --configure -a and it has said "Building database of manual pages . . ." for awhile (Only like 5 minutes but I'm impatient) now without changing how long can I expect this to take and at some point should I just cancel and run the command again? | 23:20 |
| Rarrikins | zapsoda: man page stuff is usually slow. Did you install a bunch of stuff at the same time? | 23:22 |
| acovrig | Is it possible to log what users do with rsync over ssh? | 23:25 |
| benkillin | YES | 23:26 |
| zapsoda | Not really, I just got the VPS (It only has 1gb of ram so I guess I will be waiting for awhile) and Ive been trying to install build-essential for awhile, but the first time I ran the install command it didnt work because its ubuntu 10.10 so I had to change the repos from archive.ubuntu.com to old-repo.ubuntu.com (somthing like that) then update and install again, That was really slow and giving errors about locale so I cancelled tha | 23:26 |
| zapsoda | t ran the commands from google to fix the locale settings (after removing the lock directory because I ended the install early) then I ran the dpkg --configure -a to finish the install of build essential and its starting with the man db first I guess :/ | 23:26 |
