| Tobbi | Hey. How can I suggest/ request a package update for this? https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/supertux/ | 00:00 |

| ki7rw | anyone know why the HP device manager can't see my wireless printer while cups sees it and i can wirelessly print to it? | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | ki7rw: Why do you want to use HP device manager? | 00:02 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: It worked. Thanks | 00:02 |
| ki7rw | because it appears in the menu | 00:02 |
| mojtaba | chemist^: I will keep that in mind. may be later I will check that. Thank you for sharing. | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: You're welcome. In the future, "concatinate" is probably a better word than "combine" for what you are trying to do. | 00:02 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: What does combine mean? | 00:03 |
| === michael__ is now known as Guest61536 | ||
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: It seems that at least one site uses combine to mean mix (take two tracks and make one track out of them, where you hear both tracks at the same time), and that's likely the site that confused you into thinking that "-m" was the option you wanted. | 00:08 |
| mojtaba | Jordan_U: I see. Thanks again | 00:09 |

| foobar_ | I installed ubuntu 12.04 on a new SSD -- created a 100GB partition for it, and left the remaining 150GB unallocated free space. Worked fine --- I then installed Windows 8.1 in the unallocated space. It worked fine as well. | 00:17 |
| foobar_ | Problem: how do I get back into Ubuntu? Did the Win8.1 install override the Ubuntu boot loader or something? Win8.1 loads fine but I can't figure out how to switch back into Ubuntu | 00:18 |
| k1l_ | foobar_: yes, reinstall grub | 00:18 |
| zaitzev | how would I go about running a command that is aliased, as default, in bash? for example I have rm='rm -i' but want to run it as the default | 00:18 |
| FatDarrel | hey how do i not boot from my 1st hdd | 00:19 |

| Magiobiwan | Was there an update to openssh-server in the past few days for Ubuntu 13.04? | 00:19 |
| glitsj16 | luckybunny: have you seen/tested a routine like on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java#Java_sound_with_Pulseaudio yet ? | 00:19 |
| luckybunny | will try it now | 00:20 |
| glitsj16 | luckybunny: if you haven't and want to test, make sure you use the correct paths for the java bin | 00:20 |
| Bashing-om | FatDarrel: Change the boot order priority in BIOS . | 00:21 |
| FatDarrel | no so i have it set to boot from drive 1 then drive 2 etch | 00:22 |
| FatDarrel | but if drive 1 does not have boot flag it should goto drive 2 | 00:22 |
| k1l_ | FatDarrel: boot flag is only for windows | 00:22 |
| Bashing-om | FatDarrel: set the boot order to boot drive 2 before that of drive 1 . | 00:22 |
| FatDarrel | oh ok | 00:22 |
| FatDarrel | ok | 00:23 |
| === guampa is now known as Guest62410 | ||
| === guampa_ is now known as guampa | ||
| FatDarrel | then once drive 2 is destroyed it should boot from drive 1 | 00:23 |
| Bashing-om | FatDarrel: If bios does not find a boot code on drive 2 then yes it will default to the next drive in the boot order . | 00:24 |
| FatDarrel | so i can dd crap into the first 512bytes of the drive? | 00:24 |
| Bashing-om | FatDarrel: That is the location of the boot sector, do so from another mounted medium. | 00:25 |
| FatDarrel | yeah ok got it thanks guys | 00:26 |

| rustuptwist | i think checking 'update installs' was a mistake | 00:31 |
| kriskropd | ive a machine i left running inside dwm (DE) earlier today, I was sshed into it all day just fine, but now that I'm back home, I noticed the attached displays have gone to sleep and the keyboard is unresponsive, however i can ssh into the machine just fine and see that the processes I had running on X are still operating correctly - I tried opening a new display $(xinit /usr/bin/dwm -- :5) which hung on 'Loading GLX' and neve | 00:32 |
| kriskropd | any thoughts? | 00:33 |

| xananax | daftykins, when I installed it, I was in legacy mode | 00:39 |
| xananax | daftykins, is there a way to check? | 00:40 |
| daftykins | xananax: yes, google it - there's a parameter that comes up in a config file inside the Windows folder | 00:40 |
| daftykins | xananax: but to install win7 in UEFI mode you would've had to juggle some files around to let it UEFI boot so you should really know | 00:40 |
| rustuptwist | Ok Finally got ubuntu onto my hp laptop Yea!!! | 00:40 |
| Merrrrs | rustuptwist, congrats, m8 | 00:40 |

| qin | new: it is kind starnge logic, i like this version so let me upgrade to new one... | 02:27 |
| Jordan_U | new: No, there is no good reason for you to use an unsupported insecure version of Ubuntu (10.04) instead of a supported version (like 12.04). | 02:27 |

| kornflake-k9 | is there a arm ver of ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| SchrodingersScat | !arm | kornflake-k9 | 04:12 |
| ubottu | kornflake-k9: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 04:12 |
| kornflake-k9 | thanks | 04:13 |
| cfhowlett | !server|Kalavera_, | 04:13 |
| ubottu | Kalavera_,: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 04:13 |
| jarainf | !kernel | 04:15 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 04:15 |
| jarainf | !Stages | 04:15 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages. If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot. If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel. This is normal, and not a bug. | 04:15 |
| jarainf | !Mainline | 04:15 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 04:15 |
| jarainf | !GUI | 04:15 |
| ubottu | The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) | 04:15 |
| jarainf | !X | 04:15 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 04:15 |
| jarainf | !GNOME | 04:16 |
| ubottu | GNOME was the default desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10. To install the GNOME Shell, type [ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ] in a !terminal. For the GNOME-based !flavor of Ubuntu, see !ubuntu-gnome | 04:16 |
| jarainf | !terminal | 04:16 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 04:16 |
| jarainf | !flavor | 04:16 |
| ubottu | !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 04:16 |
| jarainf | !Studio | 04:16 |
| ubottu | UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 04:16 |
| jarainf | !Mythbuntu | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information and #ubuntu-mythtv | 04:17 |
| jarainf | !Lubuntu | 04:17 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 04:17 |

| fredouille | i need FTP in GEDIT | 04:23 |
| fredouille | i tried many solutions and that does not work | 04:23 |
| fredouille | WHY | 04:23 |
| cfhowlett | !ftp|fredouille, | 04:23 |
| ubottu | fredouille,: FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd | 04:23 |
| fredouille | nautilis is instable | 04:23 |
| cfhowlett | fredouille, because gedit is not the terminal so how could it connnect? | 04:23 |
| fredouille | it's bad solution, nautilus freeze my editor | 04:23 |
| SchrodingersScat | can gedit network? | 04:24 |
| fredouille | impossible, i follow this : https://gitorious.org/gedit-ftp-browser/gedit-ftp-browser/source/515a3d4129b15fcb58942bf585f31ff4a4e2c96a: | 04:24 |
| fredouille | and that does not work | 04:24 |
| cfhowlett | SchrodingersScat, it's an editor. how would an editor connect to a network? | 04:25 |
| SchrodingersScat | cfhowlett: apparently you make a plugin, like the above | 04:25 |
| fredouille | My god, it's so hardly to work with editor and integrated FTP ? | 04:25 |
| jarainf | vim has a plugin for it | 04:25 |
| SchrodingersScat | fredouille: I would use sshfs and then you can open it in gedit AFAIK | 04:26 |
| fredouille | i cant i have FTP | 04:26 |
| SchrodingersScat | fredouille: mount it in nautilus/etc.? | 04:26 |
| fredouille | my autorized protocol is FTP and FTPes, it's all, you understand ? | 04:27 |
| SchrodingersScat | oh yeah, instable | 04:27 |
| fredouille | no SchrodingersScat it's instable, that freeze my editor | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | fredouille, as stated on your page ... " It's a great plugin for gedit, but I found a few minor problems with it and the project hasn't been updated since 2009 (at the time I created this repostiory. " | 04:27 |
| fredouille | ok cfhowlett but what is the solution for to work with a FTP in my editor ? | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | fredouille, so you're using a tool with problems ... but it's due to nautilus ? | 04:28 |
| fredouille | what editor to choose ? | 04:28 |
| jarainf | Use vim | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | !vim | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code | 04:28 |
| SchrodingersScat | fredouille: cfhowlett but the google code was updated 2011 http://code.google.com/p/gedit-ftp-browser/source/list | 04:28 |
| jarainf | And vim-netrw | 04:28 |
| fredouille | cfhowlett, the communication between editor and nautilus is low, instable, that freeze my editor | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | !vim|fredouille, | 04:29 |
| ubottu | fredouille,: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code | 04:29 |
| xangua | SchrodingersScat: fredouille: it also clearly says it doesn't work with gedit 3 | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | xangua, !!! amazing what you learn when you read the details! thanks. | 04:29 |
| SchrodingersScat | fredouille: have you used the google source? | 04:30 |
| mojtaba | Hi, Does anybody know how can I mount an external hard drive encrypted in mac OSX in ubuntu? | 04:30 |
| SchrodingersScat | xangua: I don't see the same warning there, and the blog said it was a copy of google. but I'm also not trying it out. | 04:30 |
| fredouille | i dont understand all concept among google source | 04:30 |
| fredouille | i juste want an editor with ftp, it's all | 04:31 |
| fredouille | notepad++ is able and ubuntu software not ? | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | fredouille, lots of suggestions for vim --- | 04:31 |
| fredouille | vim is in console mode ? | 04:31 |
| tripelb | 12.04 gnome, dell 924 printer. the printer copies fine. the os sees it fine. i say print, fine | 04:31 |
| tripelb | mpthing happens | 04:31 |
| tripelb | ot is pliggedin | 04:32 |
| fredouille | i am not sufficiently Geek for to work like that | 04:32 |
| tripelb | send too fast apologies | 04:32 |
| fredouille | and it's hard for me to speak english, i have a little level | 04:32 |
| fredouille | it was easy before, why it's hard now | 04:33 |
| tripelb | 12.04 gnome, dell 924 printer. the printer copies fine. the os sees it fine. i say print, fine, but nothing happens. Yes, it is plugged in. :) | 04:34 |
| jarainf | You can enable your mouse to work in vim | 04:34 |
| jarainf | And you can start it in easy mode | 04:34 |
| jarainf | also you can use a gui | 04:34 |
| fredouille | vim integrate ftp ? | 04:34 |
| cfhowlett | !patience|tripelb, | 04:34 |
| ubottu | tripelb,: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 04:34 |
| jarainf | You would need to install the netrw plugin | 04:34 |
| fredouille | my god...plugin again | 04:35 |
| fredouille | i will to must to install many files again ? | 04:35 |
| cfhowlett | fredouille, this will surprise you - editors are for editing. editing + networking requires something extra - like a plugin. | 04:36 |
| tripelb | cfhowlett: hi. you jave been around here some years. my question got somewhat garbled so i wanted to say ot all nice and on one line. i was not impatient. o am sorry you got that idea. ot is different in here tham a couple of years ago. in the last month, several questions i have had jave not even been addressed. sigh. | 04:40 |
| qin | fredouille: I think vim you can use over ssh remotely, or localy on mounted sshfs, ftp is a horrific idea to editing, it's like repairing car engine via exaust | 04:40 |
| cfhowlett | tripelb, understood. answers aren't always instantly available, but your issue sounds workable. | 04:41 |

| cfhowlett | tripelb, see the cups entry above and run it. might be worthwhile seeing the return messages | 04:42 |
| tripelb | cfhowlett: ok. i have been lucky with hp in the past. np. | 04:43 |
| cfhowlett | tripelb, if I had to guess, I'd suggest a setting - wrong size paper or something. I'm in China now. My 8.5 x 11 paper settings conflicted with the local A4 size so the jobs would hang without always sending notification ... | 04:44 |
| tripelb | cfhowlett: how do i get the prining queue status info? | 04:46 |

| tjj | What's the difference between "/etc/init.d/mysql start" and "service mysql start" ? | 06:29 |
| somsip | tjj: using init.d is the 'old way' whereas using 'service' is utilising ubuntu's upstart approach | 06:29 |
| somsip | !upstart | tjj | 06:29 |
| ubottu | tjj: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 06:29 |
| tjj | OK, thanks. Followup question: what script is run when I do "service mysql start"? | 06:30 |
| somsip | tjj: AIUI, an upstart script | 06:30 |
| tjj | Where might I find that script? | 06:31 |
| somsip | tjj: no idea. Maybe that link will take you somewhere useful | 06:31 |
| tjj | yeah looking at it now...faq not so useful. | 06:31 |

Yestaday i have decided do extend the ubuntu partition because i didn't have enough space to install packeges. Gparted said that there is a problem with the windows partition and that i need to run a CHKDSK. So, i loaded a live USB with windows SP3 instalation and run it on the windows | 07:36 |

| MasterOfDisaster | ink3: without any more data to go on, your user's dotfiles for your WM/DE might be broken. make a backup then delete them, or move them. | 07:37 |
| erelon | Gparted said that there is a problem with the windows partition and that i need to run a CHKDSK. So, i loaded a live USB with windows SP3 instalation and run it on the windows partition. The windows still didnt work, but using live USB with ubuntu(the same one), the Gparted did work and extended my ubuntu on the free space in the broken windows. | 07:37 |
| KI7MT | I think maybe was on my end, had Inet issue earlier. | 07:37 |
| KI7MT | *thought it was | 07:37 |
| erelon | Then my booting was resetted to the windows boot (and did not work), so i used the live USB of ubuntu to use boot-repare. | 07:37 |
| erelon | After that, i got the booting window of ubuntu- and run it, the ubuntu worked. | 07:37 |
| erelon | Today- i tried to open the ubuntu again (i got the right booting menu), but it loaded and loaded and didnt open, when i tried to move my mouse, my pointer was in a shape of X. | 07:37 |
| erelon | I tried the boot-repare again, and again with changing the proparties of it- but nothing. It hit me that the booting is not the problem. | 07:37 |

| Psil0Cybin | 5bc0f4598a8cd6b33740b240fe5fbaf7 /bin/egrep should be the same, does that make sense for everyone? | 08:00 |

| X-Seti | somsip, yes | 08:01 |

| X-Seti | I didnt know about the problem in /root till I reinstalled, I couldnt lose everything again. | 08:02 |
| Ben64 | X-Seti: either something you're installing is putting that there then, or you're installing some weird version of the ubuntu cd | 08:02 |
| X-Seti | just the one from ubuntu.com | 08:02 |
| Ben64 | you should verify md5 | 08:02 |
| cfhowlett | X-Seti, torrent generally is a more reliable method than direct download ... and ALWAYS md5sum | 08:03 |
| X-Seti | 13.10 i386 no weird crap | 08:03 |
| Psil0Cybin | anyone know where i can find checksums of a clean build xubuntu 12.04 system | 08:03 |
| Psil0Cybin | for /etc/egrep and /bin/fgrep? | 08:03 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin, all such info is on the download page | 08:03 |
| X-Seti | torrent would have been ok, back 6 months ago, but here in the UK most torrent sites are block legal or otherwise | 08:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | cfhowlett: if you are downloading the iso, but not on a system that is already installed | 08:04 |
| X-Seti | I cant access the ubuntu torrents any more :( I used to download them all the time. | 08:05 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: no, there probably is not something with a list of md5s for every file in the system, that'd be too much effort | 08:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | ben64 so is it normal that rkhunter has white listed /etc/fgrep and egrep? | 08:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | how can i check if these files ever got midified? | 08:06 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: don't get hacked? | 08:06 |
| X-Seti | cfhowlett, I am not a fan of illegal downloading, yet i'm slammed by the ISP in effort to block others | 08:06 |
| cfhowlett | X-Seti, that sux | 08:07 |
| X-Seti | cfhowlett, sure does. in the meantime that folder that will not be deleted | 08:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | Ben64: is this normal for rkhunter to say? [03:01:24] /usr/sbin/adduser [ OK ] | 08:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | [03:01:24] Info: Found file '/usr/sbin/adduser': it is whitelisted for the 'script replacement' check.? | 08:08 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: i couldn't tell you, i don't use rkhunter | 08:08 |
| X-Seti | cfhowlett, I really need to get this sorted. :) but I do not know any of you well enough to show you in depth the problem or even access to this system | 08:08 |
| Ben64 | X-Seti: why would you need to know us to pastebin things, or md5 the installation iso you used? | 08:09 |
| X-Seti | I do not want to go installing for scratch, I can't back up the /home folder, to big | 08:09 |
| cfhowlett | X-Seti, can you live boot and backup to an external HDD/USB? | 08:10 |
| X-Seti | Ben64, in the way of teamview, showing the desktop. not given access directly | 08:10 |
| Ben64 | we don't need to see it, we usually just need pastebins | 08:10 |
| X-Seti | cfhowlett, not this time, the home folder has outgrown anything I have to hand. | 08:10 |
| X-Seti | cfhowlett, otherwise I would reformat. | 08:11 |
| KI7MT | Is this his a specif problem, or a group of random issues we're talking about here ? | 08:11 |
| Ben64 | can you live boot and come back here and pastebin things? | 08:11 |
| KI7MT | *specific | 08:11 |
| Ben64 | KI7MT: undeletable folder in /root | 08:12 |
| KI7MT | Hmm ok | 08:12 |
| X-Seti | Ben64, yes I could.. brb | 08:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | cfhowlett: if i already installed ubuntu how can i check the md5sums of specific files I know it is not done, but oculd anyone on here be able toconfirm if a file has an appropriate hash | 08:16 |
| KI7MT | Wonder if it's a Sticky bit issue on that folder, created by some rogue app or maybe even a bug. | 08:17 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: you really should be less concerned about hashes and rkhunter | 08:17 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay all i found out that all the files I am worried about are white listed by defualt by ubuntu | 08:17 |
| Psil0Cybin | I am just curious, for my own paranoia. | 08:17 |
| Ben64 | then reinstall all the packages for them | 08:17 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay I found out that* | 08:17 |
| Psil0Cybin | well all packages got installed via repos | 08:17 |
| Ben64 | hence "reinstall" | 08:18 |
| KI7MT | when people are that paranoid, there's usually a reason why .. | 08:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | so i am not worried about any packages or software, just the /etc/estab files or fstabs, that popped up saying it was white listed on rkhunter | 08:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | but i guess that is normal | 08:18 |
| Ben64 | and you keep making up file names too | 08:18 |

| Psil0Cybin | KI7MT: I am not paranoid really for a reason just want to make sure my md5sums of senesative files are accurate...but i guess there is no way | 08:25 |
| interweb | cfhowlett, Pacman is better , it is faster and has more options | 08:25 |
| cfhowlett | interweb, your system. you break it, you bought it ... install your pacman and invoke it from command line to use | 08:26 |

| KI7MT | Now try to remove it. | 08:39 |
| X-Seti | rm -rf XEjfK\ bMbA/ done, waiting, hopfully not for another 8 hours. like I did last night | 08:40 |
| KI7MT | You may have to chown the folder .. not sure how that works in LiveCD | 08:40 |
| X-Seti | done too. | 08:40 |
| X-Seti | its running. waiting. | 08:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | KI7MT: how can I see my current PPA's? It shows how to remove them ,but now where the list of the ppa's is located | 08:41 |
| Ben64 | maybe you should check whats inside first? | 08:41 |
| X-Seti | this is a very strange problem, never ever had this before. | 08:41 |
| somsip | Psil0Cybin: /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 08:42 |
| KI7MT | X-Seti, a faster way to del may be like: sudo rm -rf foo/ | 08:42 |
| KI7MT | with foo/ being that odd-ball folder | 08:42 |
| X-Seti | Ben64, hundreds if not thousands of little files oddly named like f437v22 etc | 08:42 |

| Psil0Cybin | somsip: | 08:43 |
| Ben64 | X-Seti: how much space do they all take up? | 08:43 |
| X-Seti | let me try and get back into that folder again, the du or cat just hangs or takes to long to list. | 08:43 |
| KI7MT | X-Seti, You coudl do an rsync -a ---delete too :-) .. that works real fast whn you sync an empty folder to the full one. | 08:44 |
| X-Seti | cant kill the rm -rf command I just ran, closing that window. | 08:44 |
| Ben64 | there must be millions of files in there | 08:45 |
| KI7MT | X-Seti, Probably too many files for rm | 08:45 |
| X-Seti | yep | 08:45 |
| Ben64 | you really really should figure out why those are there | 08:45 |
| KI7MT | X-Seti, this will work: sudo mkdir empty_dir && rsync -a --delete empty_dir/ foo-bar-folder/ | 08:46 |
| X-Seti | I have no idea, looking around the web there isnt much | 08:46 |
| Ben64 | try to find anything in there with data on it | 08:46 |
| X-Seti | I was thinking that it's a bug you guys know about. | 08:46 |
| Ben64 | also, what are you doing on root? i'm betting its something you did | 08:46 |

| adac | wrong channel sry | 08:49 |
| KI7MT | X-Seti, how do you mean ubuntu --reinstalled ? | 08:50 |
| X-Seti | I reinstalled from mint, trying to delete everything except the home/ folder and ran into the root/ file issue, I moved onto installing ubuntu 13.10 leaving the filesystem intact without formatting. | 08:51 |
| X-Seti | I got rid of mint because there was to many bugs. | 08:52 |
| Ben64 | well nobody is likely to help you with your frankensystem | 08:52 |
| X-Seti | I moved back onto ubuntu i386 13.10 | 08:52 |
| X-Seti | LOL | 08:52 |
| Wiz-KeeD | X-Seti, why is that? | 08:52 |
| KI7MT | X-Seti, maybe the problem is comming "from" your /home directory then. | 08:52 |
| X-Seti | well all the mint crap is gone, just my work related stuff in the /home folder | 08:53 |
| X-Seti | how can it be? | 08:53 |
| Ben64 | no, all the mint stuff is not gone, you just said you didn't format | 08:53 |
| Ben64 | you can try the mint support, but i doubt they'd help you, since its not really mint either | 08:53 |
| KI7MT | You should, in theory, if your /home is on it's own partition, be able to install /root and formate it, and use the existing home without formatting it. | 08:54 |
| X-Seti | I deleted the /bin /etc /libs* /usr /var /boot etc | 08:54 |
| X-Seti | and found I couldnt remove the /root folder contents. | 08:54 |
| X-Seti | knowning there was an issue I reinstalled from that point hoping that the Ubuntu live CD from there I could remove the .root folder. | 08:55 |
| KI7MT | X-Seti, you need /home on it's own parition, then you can trash the corrupt /root .. | 08:56 |
| X-Seti | im thinking abont going out today and getting another USB drive so I can backup the home and reformat the rest | 08:56 |
| Ben64 | X-Seti: you need to wipe everything and install fresh if you want support in here | 08:57 |
| X-Seti | I was hoping it woudlnt come to this. | 08:57 |
| KI7MT | X-Seti, that thing sounds pretty messed up. | 08:57 |
| Ben64 | couple quick calculations, over 53 million files are in that directory | 08:58 |
| X-Seti | yep. I always had the idea you could fix anything with a live CD | 08:58 |
| KI7MT | rsync -a --delete .. easy peasy | 08:58 |
| X-Seti | brb | 08:58 |
| Ben64 | KI7MT: not with 53,000,000 files | 08:59 |
| === Willis_ is now known as Willis | ||
| KI7MT | X-Seti, yeah, just sync an empty dir to the full one. may tak a while, but should'nt choak too bad | 08:59 |
| KI7MT | That is allot of files, never seen that many on a system. | 09:00 |
| Ben64 | rsync provides no advantages over rm | 09:00 |
| X-Seti | I have always used ubuntu for most of my stuff, I tried mint 6 months ago because I got pissed at unity | 09:00 |
| dhaval2712 | Hey, silly question but where should I put a new path variable? Should it be /etc/profile, .bash_login or .bashrc or maybe something else? | 09:00 |
| KI7MT | I've used it when rm choaked. | 09:00 |
| X-Seti | I found there was alot of issues with mint everyone should stay away from | 09:00 |
| X-Seti | deleted what I could and saved the home. and now this.. HAha | 09:01 |
| X-Seti | rsync -a --delete * not a dicky bird, nothing | 09:01 |
| KI7MT | Ben64, suppsoe there always: ls -1 | wc -l && time find ./* -type f -delete | 09:02 |
| Ben64 | KI7MT: why do you keep trying to make deleting more difficult | 09:02 |
| KI7MT | Im not, I dont need to delete anythign, he can't and evrything he's tried has failed. | 09:03 |
| Ben64 | its not failing, its 53 million files | 09:03 |
| KI7MT | is that not a fail, if he can't delete them ? | 09:03 |
| KI7MT | It doesnt' matter it's 1000 x 1000GB files that fail or 53 million 1kb files that fails, the end result is a failed delete | 09:05 |

| Danato | here's a thing, I use a wifi network, WPA2, PEAP and I dont have a ca, certificate, and it doesnt work, so the solution Ive been using is deleting the line "system-ca-certs=true" from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections as explained here http://askubuntu.com/questions/285234/cannot-connect-to-wpa2-wpa-enterprise-peap-and-mschap | 10:49 |
| Danato | the problem is that after doing that, ubuntu keeps asking me for the password once in a while | 10:50 |
| Danato | it doesnt just save it as it should | 10:50 |
| rustuptwist | yacc: just using ubuntu on an hp laptop | 10:50 |
| Danato | is there any solution for that? or maybe a better solution for the first problem? | 10:51 |
| cfhowlett | Danato, sure it's UBUNTU asking for the password and not the network settings/router settings? | 10:51 |
| rustuptwist | anybody using comoro anti virus for Linux? | 10:51 |
| rustuptwist | *comodo | 10:51 |
| yacc | rustuptwist: the big question is, do you have a place it is always running and connected. Laptops have this bad habit of loosing connectivity or even worse getting powered off from time to time. ;) | 10:51 |
| rustuptwist | yacc: the net in this country is spotty at best. also since it is my sons laptop it will be powered off from time to time, yes | 10:52 |
| yacc | rustuptwist: Quassel is cool because if you have such place, I can IRC on my Tablet or my laptop, no matter if I'm home or not. => if not you can go with more "normal" IRC clients, e.g. X-Chat | 10:52 |
| Danato | cfhowlett: I dont know, but says Wi-fi Network Authentication Required. Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the WI-FI network 'SSID here'. | 10:53 |
| Danato | cfhowlett: the problem is that it asks it frequently | 10:54 |
| rustuptwist | yacc: what anti virus are you using, if any for ubuntu | 10:56 |
| yacc | rustuptwist: give me a minute, need to lookup this "anti virus" thing, wonder if Wikipedia has an article about this. | 10:56 |
| yacc | rustuptwist: well, to be truthful, I do install Adblock+ & Ghostery (for end users), for me I also add NoScript. | 10:57 |
| yacc | But I guess these are not exactly "anti virus" products. | 10:58 |
| yacc | Basically for myself I really on my common sense, and despite what the Windows Anti Virus vendors tell, "common sense" what you do works for Windows too (to my huge surprise my wife managed a WinXP install for over 3 years without any antivir software, and when I checked it with multiple scanners, it had no malware) | 11:00 |
| yacc | rustuptwist: so for Ubuntu, "anti virus" software is something that one might use if one serves files for Windows PCs. | 11:01 |

| lesshaste | BeyondXY, you mean you have ssh'ed into a remote machine with a dvd burner? | 11:27 |
| yacc | BeyondXY: basically, does the logged in user access to the DVD burner? | 11:28 |
| glitsj16 | lesshaste: i think so yes, don't know if there's a specific channel for ubuntu bugs | 11:28 |
| BeyondXY | lesshaste: yes | 11:28 |
| lesshaste | Internet13, best server for what? | 11:28 |
| lesshaste | BeyondXY, then exactly as you would do on your own machine | 11:28 |
| yacc | BeyondXY: the memlimit thing is a warning that it's not running as root, so it cannot reserve itself all the high priority resources. | 11:28 |
| zetheroo | If I remove from a server the disks which make up the md1 raid, is that raids config still somewhere in the system? If so how do I erase all traces of that raid array? | 11:28 |

| gordonjcp | gregf_: why 5.3.17? | 14:38 |
| gordonjcp | gregf_: it's not even the most recent 5.3? | 14:38 |
| gregf_ | i had installed the latest version of php together with (5.4.6 that is) xdebug/php5_msql/libapache2-mod-php5 | 14:38 |
| gregf_ | but the mysql pdo driver does'nt work well :/ | 14:39 |
| gregf_ | so i had_to go back to 5.3.* | 14:39 |
| gregf_ | now i need to install all of those packages , but the command line does not work :/ | 14:40 |
| gregf_ | i've had to install php5.3.17 from source :/ | 14:40 |
| somsip | gregf_: you'll have caused some mayhem by installing from source. I wouldn't know where to advise you to start to fix it. But if you do need very alternative versions of packages like this, much better to upgrade to a version that comes with an official package you need | 14:40 |
| gregf_ | somsip: yeah , i tried to upgrade | 14:40 |
| gregf_ | but this fails: | 14:40 |
| chr0meice | apt-get update fails... here is the exact error http://postimg.org/image/l9i2iqrvt/c26cf409/ | 14:41 |
| chr0meice | why is this happening? | 14:41 |
| gregf_ | sudo apt-get install php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 php5-cli=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 php5-common=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 libapache2-mod-php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 | 14:41 |
| gregf_ | s/10/17/ | 14:41 |
| somsip | gregf_: I expect apt-get doesn't like the fact that the manually compiled 5.3.17 has stomped it's footprint all over the place. Figure out a way to get that off first, I think | 14:42 |
| gregf_ | now i want to have 2 versions of php(5.4.* and 5.3.*). and i know its possible to have both :/ iirc | 14:42 |
| gregf_ | oh | 14:42 |
| somsip | gregf_: look into it again. I don't believe you do RC | 14:42 |

| baboon` | Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu on a USB key, so I formatted the key with no partition (there's just /dev/sdb, no /dev/sdb1..) and I run `sudo qemu-system-x86_64 /dev/sdb -cdrom ~/Downloads/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso -boot order=d`. It starts and I see an ubuntu splashscreen, then a black screen with a blinking caret and after a minute or two, kernel panic. Any clue? | 14:46 |

| ubottu | openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines. In component main, is optional. Version 1:6.2p2-6ubuntu0.1 (saucy), package size 252 kB, installed size 777 kB | 14:47 |

| swimmer | what kind of command are you guys using to list all files of a package? | 14:50 |
| X-Seti | somsip, me too. saves me reinstalling yet again. | 14:50 |
| swimmer | and how can you find out to which package a file in the filesystem belongs? | 14:51 |
| Ilmen | Could somebody tell me whether having gedit's search bar disappearing when pressing AltGr is a normal behavior or not? | 14:51 |
| somsip | swimmer: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 14:51 |
| zteam | sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm doesn't do the trick | 14:51 |
| somsip | swimmer: use '!find {file}' here and the bot might be able to help | 14:51 |
| swimmer | somsip: thank you ... | 14:51 |
| swimmer | somsip: so there is no command on the console? | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | swimmer: dpkg -S filename in terminal will also tell you (if you have the file in your OS now) | 14:52 |
| chr0meice | @ActionParsnip, not really possible to copy and paste all those commands outside of the VM. | 14:52 |
| Ilmen | What happen when you open gedit and then type Ctrl+F then AltGr? On my end the search bar disappear as soon as I press AltGr | 14:52 |
| chr0meice | im going to just reinstall | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | chr0meice: just go line by line | 14:52 |
| fidel_ | Ilmen: it stays here | 14:52 |
| chr0meice | problem is i dont have access to the VM | 14:52 |
| fidel_ | Ilmen: so ALTGR has no effect on my box | 14:52 |
| chr0meice | someone in another country has to copy and paste | 14:52 |
| glyphzz | anybody have any quick fixes for the WNDA4100 being compatible with ubuntu | 14:52 |
| Ilmen | fidel_: okay, thanks | 14:52 |
| chr0meice | im not the one setting it up | 14:52 |
| chr0meice | ActionParsnip, can't the person installing this just pick openssh duringthe install? | 14:52 |
| philinux | swimmer;~ one here to start apt-cache rdepends packagename | 14:53 |
| Ilmen | that's weird; something must be wrong with my config | 14:53 |
| fidel_ | Ilmen: tested on 2 boxes - no effect on both ;) | 14:53 |
| chr0meice | then i would think i wouldnt have this problem since open-ssh installed by defauilt | 14:53 |
| swimmer | ha! pkg it is! thanks Actio) | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | chr0meice: you can seletc that if you use the minimal install, otherwise its not like that | 14:53 |
| somsip | glyphzz: looong thread here to go through: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1942689 | 14:53 |

| swimmer | so I *do* have a logger running: sysklogd | 14:56 |
| swimmer | I was already wondering :) | 14:56 |
| philinux | swimmer;~ thats not a default installed package | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | chr0meice: could clone the disk of one of the standing OSes, or is that not practical? | 14:59 |
| swimmer | philinux: no idea ... it's still day 1 on my vps and certainly day 1 with ubuntu ;-) | 14:59 |
| * swimmer tries to figure out how everything is put together | 15:00 | |
| chr0meice | @ActionParsnip, other VMs are in other countries | 15:01 |
| philinux | swimmer;~ I'm running regular desktop ubuntu and sysklogd is not installed. | 15:02 |

| jnhghy | Hi, I need to have some files moved (automatically) before starting a program (dosemu) how can I achieve this? I can move the files with a bash file and then start dosemu from the same file? or should I do it in a desktop icon(not sure if possible)? any advice? | 15:12 |
| ikonia | jnhghy: why do no you need to move the files, you should only need to move them once then they should be in the right place | 15:13 |
| somsip | jnhghy: bash file, and I believe a launcher icon will point at a bash file to run it if required too | 15:14 |
| jnhghy | ikonia: the files stay on a server, when the user starts the program they are copied locally, modified and then passed to the server... | 15:14 |
| drezir | Hi | 15:15 |
| ikonia | that sounds crazy for dosemu | 15:15 |
| ikonia | it's just a dos emmulator, why files are being copied around to run it seems a bit odd | 15:15 |
| drezir | Is it possible to delete grub when i have only 1 system isntalled | 15:16 |
| jnhghy | ikonia: thoes files are some dbf's .... that will be manipulated... | 15:16 |
| ikonia | seems odd | 15:17 |
| ikonia | drezir: yes, just zero the boot sector, although it's pointless if you only have 1 system on | 15:17 |
| Cigrits | you could just mount the directory that you need on the server and then run dosemu with a bash script, unless the files on the server need to be untouched and you are copying revisions of them back to the server. | 15:18 |
| dino82 | drezir delete grub or delete entries in grub | 15:18 |
| gregf_ | somsip: you still around? | 15:19 |
| somsip | gregf_: I am | 15:19 |
| gregf_ | well i've managed to uninstall some parts of php(installed from source) | 15:19 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as Guest75085 | ||
| gregf_ | is there a way to now install an previous php package? | 15:20 |
| drezir | well, i have installed xubuntu on 2 discs : ssd and hdd. On ssd (sdb) i placed "/" partition and on hdd(sda) "/home" partition. System installed well but i could not boot the system so i had to use live cd grub recovery. I am worried about if i would delete grub then system may not boot again. | 15:20 |
| gregf_ | s/an/a/ | 15:20 |
| somsip | gregf_: couple of approaches: http://is.gd/r7lbLJ http://is.gd/Wmy5ep | 15:21 |
| somsip | gregf_: then you need to pin it so it doesn't get upgraded by accident | 15:21 |
| somsip | !pinning | gregf_ | 15:21 |
| ubottu | gregf_: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 15:21 |
| hadifarnoud | how can I see stats in 'top' command in MB instead of KB? | 15:21 |
| gregf_ | somsip: Thanks! | 15:22 |
| gregf_ | somsip: also, how can i check if a specific package exists? | 15:23 |
| somsip | gregf_: http://is.gd/JiHZIx | 15:24 |
| gregf_ | as in sudo apt-get install php5=5.3.17-1ubuntu3.9 <== does'nt do anything :/ | 15:24 |
| gregf_ | ah - ok | 15:24 |
| gregf_ | iirc i've tried that :/ | 15:25 |
| gregf_ | doesn't work :/ | 15:25 |
| somsip | gregf_: I struggled to pin an old version of Firefox because the version I wanted wasn't available, so I had to drop back to something really old. I didn't find a way round this, but it wasn't critical for me. You might need to do more research on this to get the version you want | 15:25 |
| Kinter | Hi, I'd like to know if I install XFCE, Cinnamon, LXDE and KDE on the same system and I use LXDE are the others which are not in use slows down th e computer or the same like I have just LXDE installed | 15:26 |
| somsip | gregf_: "doesn't work" tells me nothing | 15:26 |
| bazhang | Kinter, are you limited in hdd size | 15:26 |
| Kinter | yes i'm | 15:26 |
| bazhang | Kinter, how close to being full | 15:27 |
| Kinter | All the space are partitioned and each has an OS | 15:27 |
| gregf_ | well this is the output on running: | 15:27 |
| gregf_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6803420/ | 15:27 |
| Kinter | How did you do that if you write for me it's beepss? | 15:28 |
| bazhang | Kinter, you can just intall kubuntu- xubuntu- lubuntu-desktop packages and then choose from the login, no need for completely separate partitioned OSes | 15:28 |
| gregf_ | sompsip: it only tells me whats the latest. and no other package versions of it | 15:28 |
| bazhang | Kinter, if I use your nickname in the post | 15:29 |
| bazhang | Kinter, you can disable the beeping, and just have it highlight you r nick, what irc client is it | 15:30 |
| Kinter | bazhang, They are different OS not just Ubuntu. The question is it slows down CPU if the are on my system? Thanks the nixkname trick | 15:30 |
| gregf_ | somsip:tbh, i tried 'apt-cache policy <pkgname> before installing from source as well and that was the o/p i got then as well :/ | 15:30 |
| Kinter | In firefox | 15:30 |
| bazhang | Kinter, not by that much, no | 15:30 |
| somsip | gregf_: that looks right to me. It happens, if there is only one candidate available. Like I said in my other message, I don't have a way to install a package that is not available. Maybe someone else can help | 15:31 |
| Kinter | Thank you. Did if beep to you as well or turned red, because for me is black. | 15:31 |
| gregf_ | somsip:ok | 15:31 |
| gregf_ | my, never knew installing php would be such a nightmare :/ | 15:32 |
| somsip | gregf_: you asked me earlier why I said compiling php from source was ugly? Now you know... | 15:32 |
| zaitzev | are there any console based SkyDrive applications for Ubuntu? | 15:33 |
| gregf_ | somsip: so are you saying that cuz i installed php from source everything is messed up? | 15:33 |
| Kinter | Nubuntuu, I'm just trying that beeb thing. It's also me. | 15:33 |
| bazhang | Kinter, you've only used my nick the once, it just changed color,as I disable beeps in the prefs | 15:33 |
| Kinter | Wow cool. thanks | 15:33 |
| somsip | gregf_: yes | 15:34 |
| Kinter | bazhang, Thank for your time. Have a nice day | 15:34 |
| gregf_ | well, it should'nt be that complicated either to uninstall something :/ | 15:34 |
| somsip | gregf_: hindsight is great, but you should probably know the effect on your system *and how to undo that* when using non-standard methods of installing | 15:36 |
| somsip | gregf_: live and learn. Hopefully you'll sort it | 15:36 |
| grep_779 | wish I had be sucessful in installing ubuntu on my system | 15:36 |
| gregf_ | well, in the past i've had to install apache from source and iirc it was'nt as difficult to uninstall it :/ | 15:37 |
| grep_779 | unfortunately when I tried, it gave me a kvm disabled by bios message | 15:37 |
| grep_779 | so I was forced to install fedora instead | 15:38 |
| somsip | gregf_: that was apache. This is php. Clearly the experience this time is different. And hopefully enough to encourage you to find a better way of doing this when you need to do it again | 15:38 |
| grep_779 | people in this room actually talk to newbies | 15:38 |
| gordonjcp | grep_779: if it says KVM disabled by BIOS, you need to go into your BIOS and enable the CPU virtualisation extensions | 15:39 |
| gordonjcp | grep_779: can't do much about that in software | 15:39 |
| gordonjcp | gregf_: it's simple to uninstall stuff, "apt-get remove ..." | 15:40 |
| grep_779 | yes after reading a bunch I think I am beginning to understand the bios errror | 15:40 |

| ActionParsnip | philwire: is it USB or PCI based? | 15:46 |
| gordonjcp | grep_779: well, in what way is it an error? | 15:47 |
| gordonjcp | grep_779: you've chosen to disable kvm, so it is informing you that it can't do squat without kvm | 15:48 |
| gordonjcp | somsip: oh. | 15:48 |
| gordonjcp | gregf_: in which case, learn how to install things from source cleanly | 15:48 |
| grep_779 | perhaps it's not an error, but seems like it is since ubuntu said it was | 15:48 |
| gordonjcp | gregf_: if you use the normal ./configure && make && make install, you're just scattering random crap around the filesystem | 15:49 |
| philwire | ActionParsnip: it's pci based | 15:49 |
| philwire | it is working - i think it's just a/v sync tweaking I need help with | 15:49 |
| grep_779 | despite this it went on and actually did run but only as a livecd, when I attempted to install it, that failed, and said, grub wouldn't install | 15:50 |
| grep_779 | I spent 2 or 3 days running ubuntu as a livecd, but after every reboot, I had to start all over again reinstalling everything, I had figured out | 15:51 |
| mman | i installed mono from source to my server. How can I make that ubuntu recognizes that new installed software in dpkg? | 15:52 |
| grep_779 | so I gave up, downloaded fedora, burned it to a cd, and installed fedora | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mman: instead of: sudo make-install use checkinstall and you can make a deb of your efforts | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | grep_779: worth a try | 15:52 |
| mman | ActionParsnip: as easy as that ? :) | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | mman: its linux, so yes | 15:55 |
| grep_779 | that worked, installed hexchat went to freenode, joined #fedora, met the unfriendlist group of people possible, I assume they are all microsoft employees actually attempting to flustrate new users so they will return to microsoft | 15:55 |

| pmitros | I'm thinking of getting a 4k display. Ideally, I'd drive it with a reasonably low-cost, low-power, low-noise graphics card. I'm not really sure what would work well with Ubuntu, or even if such graphics cards exist. Anyone have any experience with that? The only things that would run on it would be xmonad+xterm+emacs+web browser, so I don't need much oomph. | 16:06 |

| jeffszusz | hey guys | 18:04 |
| jeffszusz | does an error with "bin/unpack200: not found" and "Error unpacking jar files. The architecture or bitness (32/64) of the bundled JVM might not match your machine." -always- mean I have the wrong bitness? It says it "might" | 18:05 |
| jeffszusz | The JAR I have is supposedly the correct bitness | 18:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | jeffszusz: ok, can you state what you've done to get those errors | 18:07 |
| jeffszusz | i try to run an install script that will unpack a JAR for me | 18:08 |
| jeffszusz | it says it's unpacking the JRE and then gives me those errors | 18:08 |
| jeffszusz | i'm on 12.04 | 18:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jeffszusz: You're unpacking a single .jar file? | 18:09 |
| === exoplanet is now known as daswort | ||
| ActionParsnip | jeffszusz: does unp not unpack jar files? | 18:09 |
| jeffszusz | the installer i'm running is a .sh script that, as far as I know, unpacks a bundled JRE and a JAR to run in it | 18:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | o | 18:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | jeffszusz: then the script is most likely attempting to install a 32bit jvm while you're on a 64bit machine. you may need to install the jvm yourself and modify the script to skip that step | 18:10 |
| sh0t | hitsujiTMO, i turned legacy option on but now it doesn't even boot from the network | 18:10 |
| sh0t | ? | 18:10 |
| jeffszusz | hitsujiTMO, that's what I'm checking, whether a coworker sent me the wrong installer or whether there is the possibility that the error means something else, as it only says it MIGHT be the wrong bitness | 18:11 |
| === Mike is now known as Guest2632 | ||
| jeffszusz | I've asked my coworker to doublecheck he sent the right installer but he hasn't gotten back to me | 18:12 |

| hitsujiTMO | jeffszusz: its most likely that is is only one installer. particularly if its an older script. | 18:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | sh0t: hmm. That's a little odd. legacy boot shouldn't disable pxe boot | 18:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | SonikkuAmerica: its an app that bundles a jvm. | 18:13 |

| skinux | I just updated Windows 8 to 8.1, unfortunately, I can't access Ubuntu boot menu so I can now only boot into Windows. | 18:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | skinux: Boot Repair from a Live image | 18:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | skinux: use the uefi boot menu | 18:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | That too | 18:32 |
| octocodercat | sklinux You could load GRUB onto a USB drive | 18:32 |
| octocodercat | then boot from that xD | 18:32 |
| skinux | As far as I know, it's using UEFI boot menu. | 18:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | skinux: What hitsujiTMO means is Charms menu > Settings > Power > hold SHIFT and click "Restart" | 18:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | Why would Windows, do such a thing....modify boot processes, in order to disallow access to other OS'S....What on earth? | 18:32 |
| skinux | Wait. Would UEFI have Windows visual appearance? | 18:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Psil0Cybin: They don't, they just do it a new way that no one knows well if at all. | 18:33 |
| Psil0Cybin | SonikkuAmerica: alright that sounds much better, I was a little bit just upset, but what is the purpose of doing this new method? does it give any benefits? | 18:33 |
| Psil0Cybin | other then force people to stick to windows? | 18:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Psil0Cybin: It's better than having to choose the OS from BIOS | 18:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Psil0Cybin: Even though I prefer GRUB myself (and use grub-efi-amd64 to boot), the Windows UEFI menu gives a better UI for managing the computer itself while at the same time making it hard for one to screw the machine up | 18:35 |

| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: Yes, that is what I did. | 20:51 |
| malgorath | honeybuntu: do you just do boot select and boot from the other drives as needed? | 20:51 |
| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: I removed the SSD i had in my machine and installed a simple 320 GB SATA hdd and am running Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS upon it. | 20:52 |
| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: I also had a Windows 8 x64 OS (OS=operating system) running on my laptop. I did NOT want to upgrade to Windows 8.1. | 20:53 |
| malgorath | I only have win8 to play a game cause i'm worried the ati card I have in the machine wont work well for games in linux | 20:54 |
| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: I specifically chose this laptop because i wanted to run Ubuntu w/o any intrusive manipulation from Windows Boot Mgr. | 20:54 |
| malgorath | i built this system but the card was a gift from a friend | 20:55 |
| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: You will need to disable Secure Boot functions, disable Intel Anti-Theft Technology (if that is one of your BIOS options) | 20:56 |

| Fohlen | hey guys. What could be a possible reason that /etc/init.d/ scripts and rc.local does not start up on boot (ubuntu server 13.04)? | 20:58 |
| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: Have you taken a look at what type BIOS you have running on your machine? Have you checked your BIOS settings and options? | 20:58 |
| Fohlen | maybe I'm missing something? It's default installation of my vps hoster so I have no clue | 20:58 |
| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: Are your BIOS on your machine current? | 20:58 |
| === zz_whitenite is now known as whitenite | ||
| hitsujiTMO | Fohlen: as in specific scripts or all scripts in /etc/init.d ? | 20:59 |
| malgorath | honeybuntu: I've not updated them since I bought it a year ago so I'm checking now | 20:59 |
| Fohlen | some specific hitsijuiTMO, for example new packages | 20:59 |
| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: If BIOS are not up to date and you plan to utilize another hdd - do not panic. | 20:59 |
| Fohlen | I installed openvpn later on and it doesn't start up automaticly | 21:00 |
| Fohlen | same for dnsmasq and few others | 21:00 |
| Fohlen | service recognises it fine but yeah | 21:00 |
| Fohlen | also rc.local does not execute | 21:00 |
| honeybuntu | =>malgorath: I have found that with 2 of my laptops circa 2011 & 2012 w/o most current BIOS updates run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS without hindrance (no probs). | 21:00 |
| ikonia | I doubt a bios version makes any difference | 21:01 |
| Fohlen | hitsujiTMO, any idea? | 21:01 |
| ikonia | it's rare a bios bug would cause a problem | 21:01 |
| malgorath | my boot mode is LEAGACY+UEFI | 21:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fohlen: how exactly did you install them? | 21:01 |
| Fohlen | via apt-get | 21:01 |
| ikonia | malgorath: how can it be "legacy+uefi" it's either legacy or uefi | 21:02 |
| honeybuntu | I like to roadtest various BIOS & their "tweak" or "bug resolves" against compatibility with various peripherals against running Ubuntu smoothly. | 21:02 |
| Danato | is there a way to show mounted devices on lxde's desktop? | 21:02 |
| malgorath | ikonia: thats what is says, I'm not making it up | 21:02 |
| Fohlen | hitsujiTMO, might /bin/sh -e cause that error about rc.local? | 21:02 |
| Fohlen | I'm on ubuntu 13.04 | 21:02 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: that just seems wrong as it's not going to effect peripherals | 21:03 |
| Fohlen | some people say you should remove the -e parameter | 21:03 |
| === mgolawala is now known as KT | ||
| anew | beginner networking? wher to start? | 21:03 |
| honeybuntu | Something I found long ago with LINUX that sometimes older BIOS when running with a dual boot cause less problems with the GRUB. | 21:03 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: you're just making stuff up now | 21:04 |
| honeybuntu | =>ikonia: it is not wrong. | 21:04 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: it is wrong, the bios won't effect your peripherals or ubuntus use of them | 21:04 |
| honeybuntu | Not Ubuntu's usage but with dual boot it did affect Windows and Ubuntu running together in harmony re: GRUB stability. | 21:05 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: sorry - no | 21:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fohlen: its difficult to say. and quite a complicated thing to investigate. -e causes a script to return on any error so can be an issue. can you pastebin your current rc.local that isn't working | 21:05 |
| honeybuntu | =>ikonia: reserved space for BIOS partition -->ubuntu | 21:07 |
| === mikesplain_ is now known as mikesplain | ||
| ikonia | honeybuntu: what ??? | 21:07 |
| malgorath | lol turns out i had ubuntu 13.04 installed on a 60g ssd in a drawer that just works | 21:08 |
| honeybuntu | =>ikonia: my findings are simply wrought from hands-on research, not white notes. | 21:08 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: yes, but it's wrong, | 21:08 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: so I suspect you just don't know the problem | 21:08 |
| Fohlen | hitsujiTMO does that mean any error will break execution? | 21:08 |
| Fohlen | Maybe some iptable modules are buggy | 21:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Is there any difference in installing ubuntu 13.10 alongside windows in UEFI than on a regular hdd? | 21:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fohlen: any untested error will break execution | 21:08 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD eufi has nothing to do with the hard disk | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it's the pre-boot enviornment | 21:09 |
| chemist^ | i still can't connect to my wireless :( been trying it for like an hour | 21:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | True, though I had a lot of trouble with it than regular BIOS | 21:09 |
| Fohlen | that's good to know | 21:09 |
| honeybuntu | =>ikonia: it is okay to agree to disagree - i am not one to argue. | 21:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | does the SSD make a difference? | 21:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I think I read somewhere it might be confused with RAM or something similar | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD what part of "it's nothing to do with the hard disk" did I not make clear | 21:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | Wiz_KeeD: UEFI require a GPT partition table and a EFI System Partition, which ofc should exist if windows is already installed in uefi mode | 21:10 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: sounds lieke you need to not read articles full of bad info | 21:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hitsujiTMO, it is not MBR, are you sure? | 21:10 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD do you actually know what uefi is ? | 21:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | no wait, I think you are right | 21:10 |
| honeybuntu | euFI BIOS are resident primarily for the Windows operating systems. | 21:11 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu err no | 21:11 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu please stop just making up information that is wrong | 21:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | Wiz_KeeD: MBR is for BIOS. It contains a bootstrap that the bios calls, however in UEFI, the bootstrap is installed to the EFI system partition | 21:12 |
| honeybuntu | Thank you hitsujiTMO. | 21:12 |
| ikonia | hitsujiTMO that's probably the best cleanest description, kudos | 21:12 |
| === eli_ is now known as beans | ||
| hitsujiTMO | ikonia: np | 21:13 |
| honeybuntu | You can run Ubuntu without utilizing uEFI BIOS partition. | 21:14 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu not on a uefi setup | 21:14 |
| honeybuntu | If you are not dual booting with Windows operating system. | 21:14 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: no, you need an efi partition on an efi system | 21:14 |
| AwesomeDragon | Is there away to change virtual screen size without using xorg.conf ? | 21:14 |
| ikonia | doesn't matter what you are booting | 21:14 |
| beans | Hello. I am trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10 on multiple hard drives. Basically, Windows 7 on 1TB HD and Ubuntu 13.10 on another 1TB HD. Both HDs are internal. I have a EFI motherboard. Do I need to partition Ubuntu 13.10 as a MBR if my Windows 7 drive is partitioned as MBR? | 21:14 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: xrandr ? | 21:14 |
| AwesomeDragon | no | 21:14 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: why not ? | 21:15 |
| AwesomeDragon | xrandr shows the error that the maximum screen size is 1920x1920 when i try to do something bigger | 21:15 |
| honeybuntu | I installed without utilizing uEFI BIOS partition and ran Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 21:15 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon probably a litmitation of the driver | 21:15 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: may need to fix that first | 21:15 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu if you have uefi enabled - you need the uefi partition | 21:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | honeybuntu: then you disabled uefi and installed in legacy bios | 21:15 |
| honeybuntu | I didn't. | 21:15 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: this is the final time I'll ask you | 21:16 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: stop making up stuff | 21:16 |
| honeybuntu | I disabled uEFI. | 21:16 |
| AwesomeDragon | i can simply fix that by creating an xorg.conf with my driver an add Virtual 5000x5000 or something like that to it ikonia | 21:16 |
| ikonia | you just said you didnt | 21:16 |
| honeybuntu | Correct. | 21:16 |
| ikonia | now you said you did | 21:16 |
| AwesomeDragon | but everytime i create an xorg.conf it does not start anymore properly | 21:16 |
| malgorath | I'm confised | 21:16 |
| malgorath | er confused even | 21:16 |
| AwesomeDragon | and i only can use xrandr after login | 21:16 |
| ikonia | less than 5 seconds apart | 21:16 |
| muonftw | openjdk-7-jre-headless...do i want that... | 21:16 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: what graphics card are you using ? | 21:17 |
| AwesomeDragon | And i have tried manyyy xorg.conf configurations | 21:17 |
| AwesomeDragon | I already made an alias to it to access it quicker | 21:17 |
| AwesomeDragon | AMD Radeon with fglrx driver | 21:17 |
| ikonia | an alias / | 21:17 |
| ikonia | what do you mean I created an alias to acces it quicker ? | 21:17 |
| ikonia | access what ? | 21:17 |
| honeybuntu | some people like to help, others like to argue. I did not come to argue or insult people. | 21:17 |
| AwesomeDragon | alias xconf="/etc/X11/xorg..conf" | 21:17 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu you are not helping given bad information as fact | 21:17 |
| AwesomeDragon | .. -> . | 21:17 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: unless you can clearly state factual information, it's probably best you don't help | 21:18 |
| AwesomeDragon | After i typed that about 200 times i created an alias :P | 21:18 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: ok, so that really doesn't have any relevence | 21:18 |
| AwesomeDragon | i know | 21:18 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: first question - have you ever got the resolution you want in linux with this card ? | 21:18 |
| AwesomeDragon | I always get the resolution i want | 21:18 |
| malgorath | Does nvidia really work better with ubuntu for gaming graphics? | 21:18 |
| AwesomeDragon | but not on the monitors i want from beginning | 21:18 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon so you can get the setup you want ? | 21:19 |
| konnor | yes malgorath | 21:19 |
| malgorath | konnor: What would be a video card from nvidia that would give me similar graphics as an amd 7870 dpes om womdpws | 21:19 |
| Linuxgirl | hello | 21:19 |
| AwesomeDragon | ikonia, most times it's so that with external monitors connected, all 3 monitors work fine, but as soon as i only have the laptop i get the login window and then blackscreen | 21:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | AwesomeDragon: maybe the monitors are misreporting the supported resolutions to xorg. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/#Adding_undetected_resolutions | 21:20 |
| AwesomeDragon | should mention that i am not using ubuntu but bodhilinux, but the guys there are clueless? | 21:20 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: we don't support that distro here, sorry. | 21:20 |
| AwesomeDragon | I know | 21:20 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: best to take it to their support resources. | 21:20 |
| AwesomeDragon | but i don't think there is much difference with xorg.conf setup | 21:20 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon there can be, and I'm sorry we don't support it here | 21:21 |
| AwesomeDragon | or at least i hoped someone would know another way to change virtual screen size | 21:21 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: they have support resources / experience with their distro setup, please take it to those resources. | 21:21 |
| AwesomeDragon | cuz as long as there is no xorg.conf it starts all monitors in clone mode | 21:21 |
| honeybuntu | Xorg is a reliable resource AwesomeDragon. They have far more resources that channel. | 21:22 |
| AwesomeDragon | and then i can use xrandr, but only up to 1920x1920 | 21:22 |
| ikonia | AwesomeDragon: it's not for this channel. | 21:22 |
| AwesomeDragon | well #xorg seems nice, did not thought about that, thx honeybuntu | 21:22 |
| honeybuntu | Xorg provides more resources than this channel can for specific issues relative with graphics drivers | 21:23 |
| honeybuntu | Intel graphics drivers as well. | 21:23 |
| ikonia | well, that's not trye | 21:23 |

| === Guest739 is now known as Gandi | ||
| ikonia | honeybuntu: yes, | 21:24 |
| ikonia | honeybuntu: hence why I'm asking you to stop helping unless you are sure of things | 21:24 |
| beans | Anyone available to help? | 21:24 |
| ikonia | beans people don't know until you ask a question | 21:24 |
| beans | "Hello. I am trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10 on multiple hard drives. Basically, Windows 7 on 1TB HD and Ubuntu 13.10 on another 1TB HD. Both HDs are internal.

| honeybuntu | don't ask, just argue - what a waste when you could be helping people in channel. | 21:25 |
| ikonia | beans I gues the first quesiton is, are you using uefi or legacy mode ? | 21:26 |
| beans | I'm not sure exactly how to check that | 21:26 |
| beans | 80% sure uefi | 21:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | beans: using mbr suggests legacy bios. can you boot the ubuntu live cd and pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 21:27 |
| === Mike is now known as Guest66091 | ||
| beans | Unfortunately I'm not actually as my desktop computer right now, I'm on my laptop at school. | 21:28 |
| rustuptwist | ikonia: You didn't ban honeyubuntu did you? | 21:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | beans: once you get home can you do so. Then we can verify your systems setup | 21:29 |
| ikonia | rustuptwist: that's not your concern | 21:29 |
| beans | Looking at my mobo spec's page, it says "UEFI BIOS (EZ Mode) - Flexible & Easy BIOS Interface" | 21:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | beans: it may support uefi, but your system could still be installed as legacy bios. that needs to be determined first. | 21:30 |

| biggdadd73 | Question: How do I stop ubuntu server12.04 from sending email? | 22:02 |
| Gandi | will that reset it with optirun? | 22:02 |
| Smirnov | why cant I change the ownership of my file to somebody else?? | 22:03 |
| Smirnov | chown just fails out | 22:03 |
| Guest84164 | this means there is some hackers spy me? http://pastebin.com/Wi8eefkf | 22:03 |
| k1l | Gandi: wait: you want 2 xservers running on 2 outputs with optirun? | 22:03 |
| jhutchins | Smirnov: Must be root or use sudo. | 22:03 |
| siren_face2000 | I have a 3 TB hard drive, but when I go to do a manual installation of Ubuntu on it, it only shows 375 GB out of 3 TB available | 22:03 |
| goldenwest | are there any gnome apps that allow highlighting pdfs | 22:04 |

| Smirnov | jhutchins: i wish the error message was more descriptive instead of just saying operation not permitted | 22:05 |
| bekks | Guest84164: Running on which Ubuntu exactly? | 22:05 |
| k1l | Gandi: that is a hell of a setup. i dont know if that will work out | 22:05 |
| Guest84164 | ubuntu 13.10 32 bit unity | 22:05 |
| Gandi | i was asking for directions not solutions :) | 22:08 |
| Gandi | i have 1 more question regarding sudo | 22:09 |
| k1l | Gandi: you are sure the 2 xserver solution works on hybrid video cards? i am not sure | 22:09 |
| k1l | because the optirun stuff is already a modified 2nd xserver. | 22:10 |
| chaotix | i went back with adobe afterwards | 22:12 |
| chaotix | thanks for helping me try it though | 22:12 |
| biggdadd73 | How do I configure or remove email from Ubuntu Server 12.04. I continue to recieve email from my server hourly | 22:14 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: Then revoke what you have configured. At least stop the mail server daemon you installed and configured. | 22:14 |
| Carlinhos | anyone using chrome (beta) experiencing really bad page rendering on pages which use flash, such as this http://i.imgur.com/01znXmd.png I have no idea what's causing it. Chromium and firefox work fine. | 22:14 |
| bekks | Carlinhos: Use a non-beta version. | 22:16 |
| infern0 | https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=429338.0 | 22:17 |
| biggdadd73 | that is actually what I am asking...how to find out what daemon that is... | 22:17 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: Which one did you configure? | 22:17 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: postfix, sendmail, exim4, qmail, etc? | 22:18 |
| biggdadd73 | that's the problem. I don't remember but I believe it was gmail | 22:18 |
| mads- | I'm trying to compile Intels Embree. However it says "_mm_pause’ was not declared in this scope" - which package is intel mm intrinsics hidden in? | 22:18 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: gmail is the google mailing platform, not your mail server you configured on your server. | 22:19 |
| FireEater64 | biggdadd73: When you say you're getting mail from the server, what exactly do you mean? | 22:19 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: you need to know which daemon you configured, not which mailbox you are using. | 22:19 |
| biggdadd73 | In my gmail account I receive an email about every hour sometime more | 22:19 |
| FireEater64 | biggdadd73: Saying what? | 22:20 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: Then stop the mail server daemon on you server. | 22:20 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: Which is not gmail, but one of the named above. | 22:20 |
| === rustuptwist_ is now known as rustuptwist | ||
| biggdadd73 | it starts with cron followed by a bunch of code...php etc | 22:22 |
| ikonia | biggdadd73: I sugggest you stop trying to run a mail server until you are aware of your own setup or how email works | 22:23 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: Then fix your mailserver, not your mailbox. | 22:23 |
| FireEater64 | biggdadd73: Ok, can you run crontab -L on your server? | 22:24 |
| jhutchins | Smirnov: If you get a permissions error as a non-root user, assume that it means you need root. | 22:24 |
| biggdadd73 | ikonia tell me something I don't already know, that is the reason I am trying to remove it... | 22:24 |
| jhutchins | Smirnov: If you get a permissions error as root, chances are something's wrong. | 22:24 |
| ikonia | biggdadd73: then just shut the mail server down | 22:24 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: Then close you mailbox, login to you server, and configure or shutdown your mailserver. | 22:25 |
| Smirnov | jhutchins: thanks yeah I got it :) | 22:25 |
| jhutchins | Smirnov: You'll also get "command not found" errors for programs in /sbin that some feel are misleading. | 22:27 |
| biggdadd73 | OK here we go again: I had a server I used with transmission, flexget, storage etc. I have another server I installed 12.04.3 on it...no problems there. With the first server I had I thought I would try few things obviously with the idea if something messed up it would be no biggie. So in trying to learn I made a mistake and now the question that I am asking is how to remove all email programs | 22:32 |
| biggdadd73 | from ubuntu server 12.04. I don't need "you shouldn't..." or "reconfigure or shutdown your mail server" if you are not going to point me in the correct direction. I have searched the web and all searches for "how to remove email programs from ubuntu server 12" come back with how to install an email server. Does this now make sense? | 22:32 |
| ikonia | biggdadd73: you just said you whre trying to shut it down | 22:33 |
| Orpheon | http://i.imgur.com/K3VqIOj.jpg?1 Anyone care to guess why those two slots are disabled, and how to enable them? | 22:33 |
| ikonia | biggdadd73: if you are not capable of running it - I suggest shutting it down until you are | 22:33 |
| ikonia | Orpheon: nothing to do with ubuntu, so not really for this channel | 22:33 |
| Orpheon | ikonia, any idea what channel I could ask? | 22:34 |
| ikonia | Orpheon: ##hardware ? | 22:34 |
| Orpheon | ah | 22:34 |
| ikonia | Orpheon: your hardware vendor ? | 22:34 |
| Orpheon | thank you | 22:34 |
| Orpheon | is gone | 22:34 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: We ponted you into the direction. I named all popular mail server daemons - if you configured one of them, and dont even remember which one, then you better pull the power cord of the server. | 22:34 |
| FireEater64 | bekks: Who is to say he configured a mailer daemon?? | 22:34 |
| bekks | FireEater64: He himself. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | the fact that one is running....and he said I configured it but don't know how | 22:35 |

| biggdadd73 | FireEater64 - Do you know how to verify what mail program is installed? | 22:36 |
| jpds | biggdadd73: Can't you just do: 'sudo netstat -ltnp' and see which one is installed? | 22:36 |
| biggdadd73 | In windoze I would just check the control panel under uninstall or the programs folder | 22:37 |
| Bsims | biggdadd73: sudo dpkg --get-selections|sort|less | 22:37 |
| bekks | biggdadd73: Which will not show you which program is active or not. | 22:37 |
| jpds | biggdadd73: On Ubuntu, you can do: dpkg -l | less | 22:37 |
| Bsims | that will give you a alpha sorted list of the installed programs | 22:37 |

| biggdadd73 | bekks - that is the question is also asked. How to verify what daemon are running...I run htop and doesn't help | 22:40 |

| juzemack | if I cant see eth1 as a wireless extension, could that mean I just need to install wireless drivers??? Im running 12.04 on VBox | 22:42 |
| juzemack | current router settings is set to bridged | 22:42 |
| ikonia | you shouldn't see wireless extensions | 22:43 |
| malgorath | hitsujiTMO: just trying to decide if I should spend 120$ on a new video card or if this one will work right, when I move windows it gets a bit wierd | 22:43 |
| ikonia | the card should be a lan card on the guest, and wireless on the host via a bridge | 22:43 |
| ikonia | your vbox guest should show a wired "eth" interface | 22:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | malgorath: first flgrx-updated doesn't exit. I presume you're referring to fglrx-updates. a simple running of: apt-cache show fglrx | grep Version && apt-cache show fglrx-updates | grep Version show that they are indeed the same driver so stick with fglrx | 22:43 |
| juzemack | yah, I have that | 22:43 |
| juzemack | but I cant run iwlist commands | 22:43 |
| ikonia | juzemack on the guest or host | 22:43 |
| malgorath | hitsujiTMO: okay | 22:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | malgorath: maybe consider testing 14.04 since you have such a new card. The updated drivers in that may be more suitable | 22:44 |
| juzemack | ikonia: not sure what you are asking. Im running 12.04 on VBox and have network settings on bridged in VBox, my host machine is windows 7 | 22:44 |
| ikonia | juzemack: ok, so the ubuntu guest will not see a wireless card, it will see a wired withernet card, | 22:45 |
| ikonia | juzemack: you should not be able to wirelessly scan on an ethernet card | 22:45 |
| malgorath | hitsujiTMO: is there a way to 'upgrade' to it? Or do I have to d/l and burn a new cdr? | 22:45 |
| juzemack | so it's not allowed at all? | 22:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | malgorath: I would test it from the iso first as its still a very early beta. | 22:46 |
| juzemack | would it have to be a legit install of ubuntu and not a VM? | 22:46 |
| ikonia | its not "not allowed" - you are running an ethernet card, you can't connect to wireless networks on ethernet cards | 22:46 |
| === scottb is now known as zz_scottb | ||
| hitsujiTMO | juzemack: is it a pci or usb wifi device? | 22:46 |
| juzemack | Im on my laptop, it gets its connection wirelessly, so I was assuming I could access that using ubuntu | 22:47 |
| ikonia | juzemack: the network card ubuntu will see is wired, and bridged to the wirless card on your host | 22:47 |
| ikonia | juzemack: the card is emmulated, | 22:47 |
| juzemack | pci, but I have access to a usb device | 22:47 |
| juzemack | okie, I understand | 22:47 |
| ikonia | juzemack: it is already connected if your windows host is connected to the wireless network | 22:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | juzemack: yes. When your host machine has a net conection, the guest OS uses a virtualised network interface to share your hosts connection | 22:47 |
| juzemack | thanks for the help guys. What route can I take in order to scan wifi? should I be mounting a usb wifi device? | 22:48 |
| ikonia | juzemack: you scan wifi on the host - not the guest | 22:48 |
| ikonia | juzemack: the windows host is where you scan | 22:48 |
| malgorath | hitsujiTMO: would it be wise to go back to 12.04 LTS? | 22:49 |
| juzemack | Ok, I was under the impression the guest could get that capability too | 22:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | juzemack: vbox should allow you to pass thru a usb device to the guest if you want to try that | 22:49 |
| ikonia | juzemack: the windows machine is using the physical card, the ubuntu one is using the virtual link to the physical card | 22:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | malgorath: you'd be running the same driver as 13.10 | 22:50 |
| juzemack | ikonia: so in effect, even though my laptop is wiresless, it is simulated hardwire connection | 22:50 |
| juzemack | hitsujiTMO: I will try that for fun | 22:50 |
| ikonia | juzemack: from the ubuntu machine it just sees "a network card" then it links to the physical hardware on your windows machine to seen data from that virtual card to the physical network | 22:50 |
| juzemack | no harm in trying I guess | 22:50 |
| juzemack | ikonia: gotcha | 22:50 |
| juzemack | :) | 22:50 |
| ikonia | you will probably have problems with a usb card in pass through | 22:51 |
