Thanks [00:02] because it appears in the menu [00:02] chemist^: I will keep that in mind. may be later I will check that. Thank you for sharing. [00:02] mojtaba: You're welcome. In the future, "concatinate" is probably a better word than "combine" for what you are trying to do. [00:03] Jordan_U: What does combine mean? === michael__ is now known as Guest61536 === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:08] 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. [00:09] Jordan_U: I see. Thanks again [00:11] nice interesting problem for you guys... [00:11] I have terribly choppy sound in java applications [00:11] I presume something not quite lovely with my openAL, because pulse appears to be doing great at everything but java/openAL [00:11] mojtaba: You're welcome.

[00:22] no so i have it set to boot from drive 1 then drive 2 etch [00:22] but if drive 1 does not have boot flag it should goto drive 2 [00:22] FatDarrel: boot flag is only for windows [00:22] FatDarrel: set the boot order to boot drive 2 before that of drive 1 .

[00:24] so i can dd crap into the first 512bytes of the drive? [00:25] FatDarrel: That is the location of the boot sector, do so from another mounted medium.

[00:40] xananax: yes, google it - there's a parameter that comes up in a config file inside the Windows folder [00:40] 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] Ok Finally got ubuntu onto my hp laptop Yea!!!

[02:29] How do i start mysqt in ubuntu 13.10. getting error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" [02:29] jordan-U: why is that... what does supported mean! [02:30] Bashing-om: done! [02:31] so do the headers now? [02:31] new: supported == we will give help here, and it gets security updates [02:31] new: not supported == we don't give help here, and it has security holes that you should be concerned about [02:32] hello [02:32] rww: ic.. well someone helped me put puppy in a flash drive when hard drive died and installing there was confusing.. i like what i have here because it has an install button! [02:32] does 12.04 have an install button in the software center! [02:32] Bashing-om: yeah i think if i had done the /headers/ first, then the images, it might've been faster [02:33] new: Yes. [02:33] i don't have settings tab in Gedit, please help me !

[02:35] RahulAN: well, sudo service mysql start [02:35] seems to be stuff i care about, like "lm-sensors, mysql, phpmyadmin, virtualbox, ....) [02:35] i don't have settings tab in Gedit, please help me ! [02:35] qin: mysql: unrecognized service [02:35] fredouille, it is on the top panel, not in the gedit-window itself [02:36] fermulator: yeah .. I have run that many times for cleaning the system, it takes all packages that the package manager has marked as "rc" -> removed but config files remain. [02:36] RahulAN: which mysql [02:36] Bashing-om: understood (sucks; i guess the upgrade uninstalled stuff that I didn't want it to...) [02:37] qin: this is output of sudo service mysql start [02:37] qin: it is not recognizing [02:37] fermulator: I too have deep reservations, but we will get to that directly. [02:37] RahulAN: it is command: which mysql; [02:37] qin: i also not found mysqld in /var/run === adamx|work is now known as adamWork [02:38] qin: /usr/bin/mysql [02:38] Bashing-om: ok it's done; (purge complete) [02:39] fermulator: OK, How far do you "feel" that the upgrade got to ? [02:40] ok OerHeks [02:40] RahulAN: can you try: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start [02:41] Bashing-om: looking at the logs, it appears as though it started to fail at the processing linux-images kernels, but it /did/ continue with trying to setup a bunch of files, which partially succeeded; up until ... [02:42] Bashing-om: updating the log to the bug report [02:43] Bashing-om: ok it's the latest on there; so I "feel" like it got to the point of "configuring packages", and bailed during python config; [02:43] qin: sudo: /etc/init.d/mysql: command not found :/ [02:43] Bashing-om: since then, I cleared the inodes, (removed manually a few headers/images), then ran "sudo apt-get install -f", and it fixed up the 3.2 kernel. [02:45] RahulAN: how it happend? reinstall? [02:45] fermulator: let's also do" -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <-, if that goes well, we can do some more fixing and cleaning. [02:46] Bashing-om; yeah that's all clean/done [02:46] Calculating upgrade... Done [02:46] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [02:47] fermulator: outstanding ! You look to be in great shpae WHEEWHH . [02:47] can't believe it ;o [02:48] qin: how to reinstall it? [02:48] Bashing-om: i suppose then, all that's left for me to do is recover the havoc the updater did to my system? (i.e. re-installing services, recovering backups, etc.)? [02:49] fermulator: for checks: -> sudo apt-get -f install , sudo dpkg --configure -a <- if that too goes well, clean up and go home ! [02:49] Bashing-om: both those commands are clean [02:49] Bashing-om: I suppose I should reboot, and cross my fingers that it will boot the new kernel? ;l === mike_ is now known as Guest63480 [02:50] How to reinstall mysql [02:51] fermulator: cleanup -> sudo apt-get autoremove , sudo apt-get clean <-, then see what services and what not have to be (RE-)installed . [02:52] Bashing-om: services fix BEFORE reboot? [02:52] RahulAN: tell us the full story. Did you have mysqld installed before, or did you just install it for the first time? [02:53] fermulator: After the clean commnads, yeah, I would think now is a good time to know, reboot and see what happens ( fingers are crossed). [02:53] Bashing-om : giving it a go [02:54] somsip: i had installed ubuntu 13.10 and i tried to start mysql and got error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" [02:54] somsip: i didnt installed myself.. [02:54] fermulator: Well, IF you know they are broken, sure that would be the thing to do, else see what the system screams and hollers about. [02:54] RahulAN: when did you install mysqld? Is this the first time you've installed it or was it installed before and sudenly stoppped working? [02:55] somsip: i didn't installed it [02:56] somsip: so i installed [02:56] somsip: so i install [02:56] RahulAN: so you just installed it and tried to run it for the first time? How did you install it? [02:57] somsip: no, i mean do i install? [02:57] RahulAN: what is your first language? [02:57] i tried apt-get install mysqld but got E: Unable to locate package mysqld [02:57] I'm using gnome shell on Ubuntu 13.10, and it refuses to log in. I try to log in, and I get the login screen background, and a non-interactable crash notification dialog on the top left corner of the screen. [02:57] RahulAN: because it's mysql-server [02:57] somsip: sorry for the language [02:58] somsip: so what are the initial steps if i need mysql run over my laptop. [02:58] RahulAN: sudo apt-get install mysql-server [02:59] somsip: yeahh :) now its installing :) [03:01] I'm having trouble getting the GUI to start. I think it's a problem with the drivers. IDK where to get better ones. Any suggestions? [03:01] SID playback was working fine in Audacious in 13.04 but it seems like the codec was removed in 13.10, does anybody know how to put back the codec? [03:02] Sik, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will grab the usual codecs [03:02] but I admit I've never heard of the SID codec ... [03:02] Fine, though AFAIK it shouldn't be restricted (SID is not an encumbered format) [03:02] cfhowlett: SID = Commodore 64 music [03:03] Also just checked, that package is installed already [03:04] ...and it turns out the standard media player can do infinite looping :| Nevermind, will just set that as the default program for SID files I guess === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [03:05] Uh oh the SID codec that comes with the media player seems unable to play PCM sounds. So here we go again: does anybody know how to restore Audacious' SID codec? [03:06] Sik, try it with VLC player [03:08] so no one has any idea where to get drivers for AMD A series laptop APUs? [03:08] Bashing-om: wow, it came back ::: 12.04.04; (3.2.0-58-generic-pae) [03:09] Nepahollic: Are you running proprietary drivers, and did an kernel update, and now the driver is broke ? [03:10] no idea what I'm running, and this is a fresh install [03:10] fermulator: OUTSTANDING ! .. ok, what about all the perifials ans seveices and such .. are ya up and running ? [03:11] Bashing-om: not at all :( --- apache is uninstalled, samba gone, boinc not running; [03:11] Bashing-om: looks like i've got a lot of work ahead of me [03:11] Bashing-om: nothing you can help with now though :) [03:12] cat /var/log/syslog | grep amd says something about being unable to load a file named amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin [03:13] fermulator: YUK, well could be worse .. the base install seems soled now. [03:13] fermulator: solid* [03:14] Bashing-om: agreed; thanks so much for your help eh? -- for the bug report; shall i recommend in the bug reporyt that it checks for available disk space and inodes as precautionary? [03:15] fermulator: I bet a many a one has been here, would not hurt at all to emphasize that point ! [03:16] I just do dist-upgrade and now the system asking to update grub... But I have raid1 /dev/md0 with sdc2 and sde2 with / partition and /dev/md1 with sda2 and sdb2 for /home. How to install grub ? update-grub /dev/md0 ? [03:17] booh, as you're doing dist-upgrade and not a new install, grub *should* install to its present location ... [03:17] fermulator: for future reference, if ya can not get the head room: try ->sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.0.0-{12,13,14,15,16,17}-generic-pae <- . [03:17] Also, I think now the boot sector is on defect drive (to be replace) on /dev/sdc and the bios boot on this drive (I'm remote now...) but if I do update-grub /dev/sdc I have this message: [03:18] oh forget my last post :) [03:18] cfhowlett, no.... dist-upgrade was asking me to check each drive... and md0 [03:19] Hi, Does anybody know how can I mount an external hard drive encrypted in mac OSX in ubuntu? [03:19] booh, so the auto update isn't working as planned. sorry, then. I'm going to pass this question on to someone who knows about such things. [03:19] How do I install Linux 3.12.8-1?

[03:21] sdd is part of /dev/md0 --> / partition [03:23] grr, okay, so my failure to log in occurs only if I log in with fingerprint. It seems there's an invisible, un-clickable, un-typeable gnome-keyring prompt. === bitnumus is now known as Guest20182 [03:24] so no one can help with my problem? [03:25] Gedit does not include settings [03:26] fredouille, gedit > tools > preferences [03:27] somsip: So, what should I do? [03:27] pikaren, check your connection [03:28] Hi, Does anybody know how can I mount an external hard drive encrypted in mac OSX in ubuntu? [03:29] well, guess I'll have to try windows [03:29] mojtaba, you encrypted it with mac? [03:29] mojtaba: well I just did a search using the exact question you asked. If you get no responses here to what is a relatively unusual request, maybe you could search more. Second link seemed to suggest the answer is 'no' though [03:29] cfhowlett: Yes [03:30] mojtaba, go back to mac and decrypt would be my suggestion ... [03:30] can't launch unity, ccdm opens but nothing happens when I enable unity [03:30] somsip: There is 1720 guy in this forum, willing to help people. (I think) [03:30] cfhowlett: The mac is not available. :( === GZA-ZNC is now known as GZA-Genius [03:30] mojtaba: then wait for an aswer, or follow the advice you are getting [03:32] already tried using ccsm to turn unity back on, no luck [03:32] I may have messed up xorg.conf trying to get nvidia driver to stop hogging battery :/ [03:33] madiba: rename it to .bak and reboot to discount that possibility. [03:36] mojtaba, external drive? Pocket it and head for your local genius bar/Apple store. [03:36] somsip rename what? [03:37] madiba: xorg.conf [03:37] oh, i'll try that === dino82 is now known as zz_dino82 [03:37] madiba: unless you have some essentail custom stuff in there, you don't need a xorg.conf. So might be worth a try as part of the process of elimenation [03:38] *typo frenzy... === ProjectBarks__ is now known as ProjectBarks [03:46] hmm, so as it turns out, I only get that hang if I use fingerprint to log in.

Unity takes over the super key. Same with my other option, which is alt+capslock [03:48] does anybody know of a workaround? [03:48] kandinski: yeah, I find Unity quite rude like that. It even breaks VMs and RDP. One workaround is to change unity's activation key to, say, ctrl+super. [03:48] clever [03:49] DanaG, thanks [03:49] Though, that does break the unity "super" muscle memory. === rafael is now known as Guest78869 [03:49] I also want to change the "move window holding anywhere" from alt to Super, so I can use certain options in Sublime Text [03:49] DanaG: I care for my workflow more, thanks a lot for the tip [03:50] I've switched to Gnome Shell, because its super key usage does NOT break things. [03:50] DanaG: I might try Gnome Shell now [03:51] Watch out if you use autologin: when I use fingerprint login, the desktop just hangs before showing anything. It seems to be due to a gnome keyring unlock prompt. [03:53] thanks again, but no, I'm old school: I type a passphrase every time [03:53] unity toolbar won't appear. [03:53] sigh.

[04:25] cfhowlett: apparently you make a plugin, like the above [04:25] My god, it's so hardly to work with editor and integrated FTP ? [04:25] vim has a plugin for it [04:26] fredouille: I would use sshfs and then you can open it in gedit AFAIK [04:26] i cant i have FTP [04:26] fredouille: mount it in nautilus/etc.?

[04:40] 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 [04:41] tripelb, understood. answers aren't always instantly available, but your issue sounds workable.

[07:37] 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] I think maybe was on my end, had Inet issue earlier. [07:37] *thought it was [07:37] 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] After that, i got the booting window of ubuntu- and run it, the ubuntu worked. [07:37] 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] 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. [07:38] what to do? [07:38] hi. I have an inpsiron 15 (3521) with hd 4000. I had to use a trick on grub adding acpi_backlight=vendor to get brightness level working with function key. but now when il aunch firefox, firefox reset brightness level to max. moreover trying to readjust manuaally level freeze X.

Do a ps aux | grep {process number} to find out what they are and if you want to kill them [07:53] X-Seti: just ps {process-number}... [07:53] 5395 pts/9 D+ 0:00 rm -rf XEjfK bMbA [07:54] my other attempts at trying to remove that folder [07:55] X-Seti: an option would be to kill the processes then try to delete again. But I'd imagine those will become zombie processes too [07:55] somsip, all killed [07:55] hey guys anyone know if it is normal to have this show up in your rkhunter logs?

I didnt mean to repost. [07:59] X-Seti: Have you, or can you, reboot? I know it sounds weak, but... [08:00] I love synaptic [08:00] sure, ive also tired live CD and reinstalled. [08:00] and I love axel! <3 [08:00] X-Seti: you've reinstalled and still have this file? [08:00] er...directory [08:00] I left it doing rm -rf * and come back 8 hours later to find it still sitting there [08:00] someone said that md5sum /bin/egrep [08:00] 5bc0f4598a8cd6b33740b240fe5fbaf7 /bin/egrep should be the same, does that make sense for everyone? [08:00] hi [08:01] somsip, yes [08:01] somsip, the distro borked yeasterday so I removed all the folders except /home [08:02] I didnt know about the problem in /root till I reinstalled, I couldnt lose everything again. [08:02] 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] just the one from ubuntu.com [08:02] you should verify md5 [08:03] X-Seti, torrent generally is a more reliable method than direct download ... and ALWAYS md5sum [08:03] 13.10 i386 no weird crap [08:03] anyone know where i can find checksums of a clean build xubuntu 12.04 system [08:03] for /etc/egrep and /bin/fgrep? [08:03] Psil0Cybin, all such info is on the download page [08:04] torrent would have been ok, back 6 months ago, but here in the UK most torrent sites are block legal or otherwise [08:04] cfhowlett: if you are downloading the iso, but not on a system that is already installed [08:05] I cant access the ubuntu torrents any more :( I used to download them all the time. [08:05] Psil0Cybin: no, there probably is not something with a list of md5s for every file in the system, that'd be too much effort [08:06] ben64 so is it normal that rkhunter has white listed /etc/fgrep and egrep? [08:06] how can i check if these files ever got midified? [08:06] Psil0Cybin: don't get hacked? [08:06] cfhowlett, I am not a fan of illegal downloading, yet i'm slammed by the ISP in effort to block others [08:07] X-Seti, that sux [08:07] cfhowlett, sure does. in the meantime that folder that will not be deleted [08:08] Ben64: is this normal for rkhunter to say? [03:01:24] /usr/sbin/adduser [ OK ] [08:08] [03:01:24] Info: Found file '/usr/sbin/adduser': it is whitelisted for the 'script replacement' check.? [08:08] Psil0Cybin: i couldn't tell you, i don't use rkhunter [08:08] 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 [08:09] X-Seti: why would you need to know us to pastebin things, or md5 the installation iso you used? [08:09] I do not want to go installing for scratch, I can't back up the /home folder, to big [08:10] X-Seti, can you live boot and backup to an external HDD/USB? [08:10] Ben64, in the way of teamview, showing the desktop. not given access directly [08:10] we don't need to see it, we usually just need pastebins [08:10] cfhowlett, not this time, the home folder has outgrown anything I have to hand. [08:11] cfhowlett, otherwise I would reformat. [08:11] Is this his a specif problem, or a group of random issues we're talking about here ? [08:11] can you live boot and come back here and pastebin things? [08:11] *specific [08:12] KI7MT: undeletable folder in /root [08:12] Hmm ok [08:14] Ben64, yes I could.. brb [08:16] 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 [08:17] Wonder if it's a Sticky bit issue on that folder, created by some rogue app or maybe even a bug. [08:17] Psil0Cybin: you really should be less concerned about hashes and rkhunter [08:17] okay all i found out that all the files I am worried about are white listed by defualt by ubuntu [08:17] I am just curious, for my own paranoia. [08:17] then reinstall all the packages for them [08:17] okay I found out that* [08:17] well all packages got installed via repos [08:18] hence "reinstall" [08:18] when people are that paranoid, there's usually a reason why .. [08:18] 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] but i guess that is normal [08:18] and you keep making up file names too [08:18] lol === Guest11641 is now known as James0r [08:20] /bin/egrep* lol [08:22] hi, I have an annoying problem - every few seconds my mouse/keyboard connected through one usb socket, stops working for a few seconds - can anyone tell me how to debug this? === Guest20182 is now known as bitnumus [08:23] How do I can use pacman package manager on ubuntu ?

[08:25] 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] cfhowlett, Pacman is better , it is faster and has more options [08:26] interweb, your system. you break it, you bought it ... install your pacman and invoke it from command line to use [08:27] guess I should rm -rf * from here [08:27] That's not only going against the Ubuntu grain, but upstream Debian too .. may as well build an LFS ..

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:28] KI7MT, I agree ...

[08:31] nope sorry... why [08:31] I recommend putting in a live cd, if the problem persists, its a hardware issue, if it does not...you can know for sure [08:31] its software. [08:31] ah, good idea [08:31] yeah [08:31] Psil0Cybin, are there any logs maybe where I could see the USB disconnecting or so?

It shows how to remove them ,but now where the list of the ppa's is located [08:41] maybe you should check whats inside first? [08:41] this is a very strange problem, never ever had this before. [08:42] Psil0Cybin: /etc/apt/sources.list.d [08:42] X-Seti, a faster way to del may be like: sudo rm -rf foo/ [08:42] with foo/ being that odd-ball folder [08:42] Ben64, hundreds if not thousands of little files oddly named like f437v22 etc [08:43] ty [08:43] somsip: [08:43] X-Seti: how much space do they all take up? [08:43] let me try and get back into that folder again, the du or cat just hangs or takes to long to list. [08:44] 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] cant kill the rm -rf command I just ran, closing that window. [08:45] there must be millions of files in there [08:45] X-Seti, Probably too many files for rm [08:45] yep [08:45] you really really should figure out why those are there [08:46] X-Seti, this will work: sudo mkdir empty_dir && rsync -a --delete empty_dir/ foo-bar-folder/ [08:46] I have no idea, looking around the web there isnt much [08:46] try to find anything in there with data on it [08:46] I was thinking that it's a bug you guys know about.

[08:49] its ubuntu reinstalled [08:49] wrong channel sry [08:50] X-Seti, how do you mean ubuntu --reinstalled ? [08:51] 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. [08:52] I got rid of mint because there was to many bugs. [08:52] well nobody is likely to help you with your frankensystem [08:52] I moved back onto ubuntu i386 13.10 [08:52] LOL [08:52] X-Seti, why is that? [08:52] X-Seti, maybe the problem is comming "from" your /home directory then. [08:53] well all the mint crap is gone, just my work related stuff in the /home folder [08:53] how can it be? [08:53] no, all the mint stuff is not gone, you just said you didn't format [08:53] you can try the mint support, but i doubt they'd help you, since its not really mint either [08:54] 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] I deleted the /bin /etc /libs* /usr /var /boot etc [08:54] and found I couldnt remove the /root folder contents. [08:55] knowning there was an issue I reinstalled from that point hoping that the Ubuntu live CD from there I could remove the .root folder. [08:56] X-Seti, you need /home on it's own parition, then you can trash the corrupt /root .. [08:56] im thinking abont going out today and getting another USB drive so I can backup the home and reformat the rest [08:57] X-Seti: you need to wipe everything and install fresh if you want support in here [08:57] I was hoping it woudlnt come to this. [08:57] X-Seti, that thing sounds pretty messed up. [08:58] couple quick calculations, over 53 million files are in that directory [08:58] yep. I always had the idea you could fix anything with a live CD [08:58] rsync -a --delete .. easy peasy [08:58] brb [08:59] KI7MT: not with 53,000,000 files === Willis_ is now known as Willis [08:59] X-Seti, yeah, just sync an empty dir to the full one. may tak a while, but should'nt choak too bad [09:00] That is allot of files, never seen that many on a system. [09:00] rsync provides no advantages over rm [09:00] I have always used ubuntu for most of my stuff, I tried mint 6 months ago because I got pissed at unity [09:00] 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] I've used it when rm choaked. [09:00] I found there was alot of issues with mint everyone should stay away from [09:01] deleted what I could and saved the home. and now this.. HAha [09:01] rsync -a --delete * not a dicky bird, nothing [09:02] Ben64, suppsoe there always: ls -1 | wc -l && time find ./* -type f -delete [09:02] KI7MT: why do you keep trying to make deleting more difficult [09:03] Im not, I dont need to delete anythign, he can't and evrything he's tried has failed. [09:03] its not failing, its 53 million files [09:03] is that not a fail, if he can't delete them ? [09:05] 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 [09:06] !netsplit [09:06] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[10:54] cfhowlett: the problem is that it asks it frequently [10:56] yacc: what anti virus are you using, if any for ubuntu [10:56] rustuptwist: give me a minute, need to lookup this "anti virus" thing, wonder if Wikipedia has an article about this. [10:57] rustuptwist: well, to be truthful, I do install Adblock+ & Ghostery (for end users), for me I also add NoScript. [10:58] But I guess these are not exactly "anti virus" products. [11:00] 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) [11:01] rustuptwist: so for Ubuntu, "anti virus" software is something that one might use if one serves files for Windows PCs.

Where does it say "my bugs" or something similar? [11:22] XHEART24: some browsers have been known to disable flash if they find a version of the plugin that they consider unsafe.

[11:28] lesshaste: i think so yes, don't know if there's a specific channel for ubuntu bugs [11:28] lesshaste: yes [11:28] Internet13, best server for what? [11:28] BeyondXY, then exactly as you would do on your own machine [11:28] 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] 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] How can I fix that problem? [11:29] lesshaste: a ssh-ed in user probably has no default access to the DVD burner. [11:29] how do I find out who is maintaining a specific package (scratch) for ubuntu? [11:29] yacc, won't he/she just be whatever user they logged in as? [11:29] How can I find out whether I have the rights to access the DVD-drive? [11:30] BeyondXY, what permissions does /path/to/device have?

Why does it behave so? Is this a problem of my kb layout or is there some nasty shortcut using the AltGr key alone?

[14:09] rustuptwist: I'm a little bit on the rustic side, you can always mount the stuff via a mount command in a terminal, potentially with a sudo in front of the mount :) === fire is now known as Guest31108 [14:10] brb === arussell is now known as aaronr [14:13] Hi everyone.

A VM may be *much* easier [14:36] i've installed php 5.3.17 from source [14:36] now sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9, does'nt work :/ [14:36] gregf_: what version of ubuntu? [14:36] somsip: well is it an ugly idea? :/ [14:36] k1l: well there are a bunch of files in /var/log/ and I also see an /etc/syslog.conf [14:36] gregf_: oh yes [14:37] k1l: not sure which packages is using/creating them though [14:37] back, new HD in hand. :) [14:37] somsip: 12:10 :/ [14:38] gregf_: why 5.3.17? [14:38] gregf_: it's not even the most recent 5.3? [14:38] i had installed the latest version of php together with (5.4.6 that is) xdebug/php5_msql/libapache2-mod-php5 [14:39] but the mysql pdo driver does'nt work well :/ [14:39] so i had_to go back to 5.3.* [14:40] now i need to install all of those packages , but the command line does not work :/ [14:40] i've had to install php5.3.17 from source :/ [14:40] 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] somsip: yeah , i tried to upgrade [14:40] but this fails: [14:41] apt-get update fails... here is the exact error http://postimg.org/image/l9i2iqrvt/c26cf409/ [14:41] why is this happening?

Figure out a way to get that off first, I think [14:42] 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] oh [14:42] gregf_: look into it again. I don't believe you do RC [14:42] ok, let me try and get it off then [14:43] RC? [14:43] chr0meice: you have lucid? Is that the desktop install? [14:43] yes [14:43] ubuntu-10.04.4-server-i386.iso [14:44] gregf_: you said 'IIRC' I don't believe this is correct [14:44] i use this image all the time and never once got this error [14:44] chr0meice: so not desktop. But server? [14:44] server yeah [14:44] sorry mean server [14:44] i have 4 other VMs with this image and apt-get update works on them [14:45] it only fails on this one Lol [14:45] hi everyone [14:46] hi everyone there [14:46] anyone [14:46] !anyone | ccuuttww [14:46] ccuuttww: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [14:46] 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? [14:47] here is the error when try install open SSH server [14:47] http://postimg.org/image/faam7ab3n/ad2b8d38/ [14:47] chr0meice: wget https://dl.dropbox.comu/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage [14:47] Some got experience about IRC BOT??? [14:47] k thanks will try [14:47] ccuuttww: what is this ubuntu related? [14:47] ccuuttww: the bot here, or bots in general? [14:47] our network blocks dropbox though [14:47] !info openssh-server [14:47] Could somebody tell me whether having gedit's search bar disappearing when pressing AltGr is a normal behavior or not? [14:47] somsip: would you also have any link to unstall php that was installed from source please? [14:47] 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] *uninstall [14:47] can you give another link which doesn't use dropbox? [14:48] gregf_: no. I wouldn't attempt doing such a thing due to it's extreme ugliness... [14:48] chr0meice: openssh-server is in main, so as long as you have the main server enabled you'll be ok [14:48] swimmer: did you uninstall the loggers and rebooted? [14:48] I can't type AltGr composed keys in GEdit's search bar, that's annoying [14:48] I am testing my IRC BOT on JTV however it is not working but doing well in this channel :( [14:48] k1l: nope [14:48] somsip:so what can i do next :/ [14:48] chr0meice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure step 5 [14:48] ccuuttww: take it off this channel please. Bots are not to be used here [14:49] ok [14:49] chr0meice: that script is just that command list in a script cos I'm lazy [14:49] gregf_: research...struggle...reinstall. Sorry, but I have nothing constructive to offer here. [14:49] somsip, I found the solution to my dir problems, doublecmd deleted that folder. [14:49] X-Seti: so it was just filled with cruft? [14:49] Hi all! [14:50] somsip, tons of 1k files I do not know from where. all gone. 12Gbs worth [14:50] X-Seti: 12GB? That explains the looong dealy. Glad you got it sorted :) [14:50] hi everyone [14:50] *delay [14:50] is there any easy way to force Ubuntu to regerenate all the config files for Lightdm? [14:50] what kind of command are you guys using to list all files of a package? [14:50] somsip, me too. saves me reinstalling yet again. [14:51] and how can you find out to which package a file in the filesystem belongs? [14:51] Could somebody tell me whether having gedit's search bar disappearing when pressing AltGr is a normal behavior or not? [14:51] swimmer: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [14:51] sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm doesn't do the trick [14:51] swimmer: use '!find {file}' here and the bot might be able to help [14:51] somsip: thank you ... [14:51] somsip: so there is no command on the console? [14:52] swimmer: dpkg -S filename in terminal will also tell you (if you have the file in your OS now) [14:52] @ActionParsnip, not really possible to copy and paste all those commands outside of the VM. [14:52] 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] im going to just reinstall [14:52] chr0meice: just go line by line [14:52] Ilmen: it stays here [14:52] problem is i dont have access to the VM [14:52] Ilmen: so ALTGR has no effect on my box [14:52] someone in another country has to copy and paste [14:52] anybody have any quick fixes for the WNDA4100 being compatible with ubuntu [14:52] fidel_: okay, thanks [14:52] im not the one setting it up [14:52] ActionParsnip, can't the person installing this just pick openssh duringthe install? [14:53] swimmer;~ one here to start apt-cache rdepends packagename [14:53] that's weird; something must be wrong with my config [14:53] Ilmen: tested on 2 boxes - no effect on both ;) [14:53] then i would think i wouldnt have this problem since open-ssh installed by defauilt [14:53] ha! pkg it is! thanks Actio) [14:53] chr0meice: you can seletc that if you use the minimal install, otherwise its not like that [14:53] glyphzz: looong thread here to go through: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1942689 [14:54] philinux: you're talking about pkg dependencies ... === zz_dino82 is now known as dino82 [14:54] swimmer;~ yeah but the reverse [14:54] ha! 'pkg' it is! thanks ActionParsnip :) [14:54] ActionParsnip, going to just have the person re-install and verify openssh is selected [14:55] hello [14:55] that way i dont need to keep relaying info to them to troubleshoot [14:55] geez - stupid autocorrection :-/ [14:56] so I *do* have a logger running: sysklogd [14:56] I was already wondering :) [14:58] swimmer;~ thats not a default installed package [14:59] chr0meice: could clone the disk of one of the standing OSes, or is that not practical? [14:59] philinux: no idea ... it's still day 1 on my vps and certainly day 1 with ubuntu ;-) [15:00] * swimmer tries to figure out how everything is put together [15:01] @ActionParsnip, other VMs are in other countries [15:02] swimmer;~ I'm running regular desktop ubuntu and sysklogd is not installed. [15:02] and terrible bandwidth [15:03] philinux: you missed my intro - I'm running ubuntu server 13.04 ... ;-) [15:03] swimmer;~ thought so when you said vps [15:09] exit [15:12] 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? [15:13] 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 [15:14] jnhghy: bash file, and I believe a launcher icon will point at a bash file to run it if required too [15:14] ikonia: the files stay on a server, when the user starts the program they are copied locally, modified and then passed to the server... [15:15] Hi [15:15] that sounds crazy for dosemu [15:15] it's just a dos emmulator, why files are being copied around to run it seems a bit odd [15:16] Is it possible to delete grub when i have only 1 system isntalled [15:16] ikonia: thoes files are some dbf's .... that will be manipulated... [15:17] seems odd [15:17] drezir: yes, just zero the boot sector, although it's pointless if you only have 1 system on [15:18] 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] drezir delete grub or delete entries in grub [15:19] somsip: you still around? [15:19] gregf_: I am [15:19] well i've managed to uninstall some parts of php(installed from source) === ubuntu__ is now known as Guest75085 [15:20] is there a way to now install an previous php package? [15:20] 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] s/an/a/ [15:21] gregf_: couple of approaches: http://is.gd/r7lbLJ http://is.gd/Wmy5ep [15:21] gregf_: then you need to pin it so it doesn't get upgraded by accident [15:21] !pinning | gregf_ [15:21] 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] how can I see stats in 'top' command in MB instead of KB? [15:22] somsip: Thanks! [15:23] somsip: also, how can i check if a specific package exists? [15:24] gregf_: http://is.gd/JiHZIx [15:24] as in sudo apt-get install php5=5.3.17-1ubuntu3.9 <== does'nt do anything :/ [15:24] ah - ok [15:25] iirc i've tried that :/ [15:25] doesn't work :/ [15:25] 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 [15:26] 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] gregf_: "doesn't work" tells me nothing [15:26] Kinter, are you limited in hdd size [15:26] yes i'm [15:27] Kinter, how close to being full [15:27] All the space are partitioned and each has an OS [15:27] well this is the output on running: [15:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6803420/ [15:28] How did you do that if you write for me it's beepss? [15:28] 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] sompsip: it only tells me whats the latest. and no other package versions of it [15:29] Kinter, if I use your nickname in the post [15:30] Kinter, you can disable the beeping, and just have it highlight you r nick, what irc client is it [15:30] 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] somsip:tbh, i tried 'apt-cache policy before installing from source as well and that was the o/p i got then as well :/ [15:30] In firefox [15:30] Kinter, not by that much, no [15:31] 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] Thank you. Did if beep to you as well or turned red, because for me is black. [15:31] somsip:ok [15:32] my, never knew installing php would be such a nightmare :/ [15:32] gregf_: you asked me earlier why I said compiling php from source was ugly? Now you know... [15:33] are there any console based SkyDrive applications for Ubuntu? [15:33] somsip: so are you saying that cuz i installed php from source everything is messed up? [15:33] Nubuntuu, I'm just trying that beeb thing. It's also me. [15:33] Kinter, you've only used my nick the once, it just changed color,as I disable beeps in the prefs [15:33] Wow cool. thanks [15:34] gregf_: yes [15:34] bazhang, Thank for your time. Have a nice day [15:34] well, it should'nt be that complicated either to uninstall something :/ [15:36] 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] gregf_: live and learn. Hopefully you'll sort it [15:36] wish I had be sucessful in installing ubuntu on my system [15:37] well, in the past i've had to install apache from source and iirc it was'nt as difficult to uninstall it :/ [15:37] unfortunately when I tried, it gave me a kvm disabled by bios message [15:38] so I was forced to install fedora instead [15:38] 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] people in this room actually talk to newbies [15:39] grep_779: if it says KVM disabled by BIOS, you need to go into your BIOS and enable the CPU virtualisation extensions [15:39] grep_779: can't do much about that in software [15:40] gregf_: it's simple to uninstall stuff, "apt-get remove ..." [15:40] yes after reading a bunch I think I am beginning to understand the bios errror [15:40] grep_779: it's not an error === dino82 is now known as dino99999999 === dino99999999 is now known as dino82 [15:41] its not an error in microsofts opinion, my opionion vary's [15:41] gordonjcp: he's compiled php5 from source... [15:43] hi all, I'm in need of help with a hauppage pvr-150 tv tuner. yesterday I got it to display svideo correctly via mplayer /dev/video0 but this morning I wanted to get sound but while fiddling with vlc the image got scrambled. [15:46] philwire: is it USB or PCI based? [15:47] grep_779: well, in what way is it an error? [15:48] grep_779: you've chosen to disable kvm, so it is informing you that it can't do squat without kvm [15:48] somsip: oh. [15:48] gregf_: in which case, learn how to install things from source cleanly [15:48] perhaps it's not an error, but seems like it is since ubuntu said it was [15:49] gregf_: if you use the normal ./configure && make && make install, you're just scattering random crap around the filesystem [15:49] ActionParsnip: it's pci based [15:49] it is working - i think it's just a/v sync tweaking I need help with [15:50] 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 [15:51] 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 [15:52] i installed mono from source to my server. How can I make that ubuntu recognizes that new installed software in dpkg? [15:52] so I gave up, downloaded fedora, burned it to a cd, and installed fedora [15:52] mman: instead of: sudo make-install use checkinstall and you can make a deb of your efforts [15:52] grep_779: worth a try [15:53] ActionParsnip: as easy as that ? :) [15:55] mman: its linux, so yes [15:55] 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 === fego is now known as Guest22043 [15:55] ActionParsnip: I know its linux and a lot of times its easy :) but some others not thaaat easy haha [15:55] hey can anyone help me fix a problem with kvm disabled in bios happens on my new motherboard? [15:57] cdunn700 it seems to depend on the motherboard bios [15:57] * Screwba laughs at grep_779...Fedora is definitely not MS...now if you had said CentOS/Red Hat, I may agree. ;-) [15:57] i have a z87a [15:57] asus [15:58] where can i fix the problem as i dont know what option to choose [15:58] its tricky to figure out legacy bios setting, vs. uefi bios [15:58] asus tends to hide the setting in the boot options, look for words like legacy and uefi [15:59] ah ok cos i did change my uefi all to legacy [15:59] where i could i guess i have to keep looking [15:59] but im currently on the computer now === jono is now known as Guest95543 [15:59] try reseting it to uefi, can't promise it will work [15:59] and it doesnt really stop booting [15:59] as im on it now [16:00] also im having trouble installing a printer driver atm its stuck on install i dont know why it is each time [16:00] can't help at all with printers [16:00] hi [16:00] lol its okay they r quite pesky [16:01] I am so new at this, I still squeek === jean is now known as Guest33467 [16:01] so am i [16:01] but i know a few things about linux but not alot [16:01] anyway to get xbindkeys to read a different config file based on what window manager is on [16:06] 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] It would be in a parallel with my existing 4x 1080p monitors (which are being driven by ATI cards) [16:07] pmitros, ##hardware [16:07] greetings earthlings. pardon the psychobabble here, but I want to build my own "cloud" server - there are Linux packages I believe that help with this... any thoughts? Not looking for a commercial version; a DIY project [16:07] bazhang: Will try that. [16:08] bazhang: Would they know about Ubuntu-compatibility? I had to go through two sets of hardware to get the 4x 1080p working with Ubuntu, and even then, it is only stable if all four displays are the same resolution. [16:08] Hello, is anyone available to help me? [16:09] !ask | Nikz [16:09] Nikz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:09] pmitros, ask and see [16:09] Will try.

I have tried Repair boot disc (live cd) and restored mbr. Something has happend.. mbr has seemed to be almost ok but has been loading all the time. It has seemed like xubuntu was trying to boot but only white cursor was shining === kaiwood_ is now known as kaiwood [16:22] Now i am able to boot only through grub and it gives me creeps because i have only 1 system installed and GRUB is pointless [16:25] drezir: grub or another bootloader is required to boot. [16:25] i have thought that grub is needed only for dualboot [16:26] drezir: That is not correct. [16:26] grub can dual boot, but it must be working to do any boot [16:26] ok, thank you :) [16:26] hey. after running do-release-upgrade on my lucid vps it rebooted and got mknod errors in /dev: read-only filesystem. any ideas?

[16:41] running ubuntu 12.04 with unity. Want to perform very simple task: Open a program. How can I get a prompt or a list of programs? [16:41] booh: if you nmap the server do you see the port? [16:41] booh: did you configure a firewall on the box? [16:42] booh: can you ping the server by IP / name? [16:42] Wulf: Hit the Super key. [16:42] jpds: the what? [16:42] Wulf: Super/Windows key.

I have not manually configure firewall. Don't know if upgrade done that. [16:42] if you use the nice command with a number ranging from 20 to -20 it should modify the priority +20 lowest priority to -20 the highest priority [16:42] okay, "windows" key doesn't work. It's a VNC session [16:42] ActionParsnip: why ask someone a question and then ignore them? just wastes everyone's time [16:42] booh: try nmapping the box from another system [16:42] ActionParsnip, I test now on the localhost.

[16:43] Wulf: that's the dash, you can also use ALT+F2 [16:43] feliwir: Even if it didn't do anything, it ensures that there aren't any broken dependencies, so that eliminates one potential problem. [16:43] ActionParsnip: alt+f2 isn't sent through the vnc [16:43] Raymondo: if you can, run the comamnd I gave, is the output the same? [16:43] feliwir: Next thing to try is to create a new user and see if their desktop is broken or not. [16:44] jpds: the letters I type appear, but nothing else happens [16:44] Wulf: oh via VNC....

It says it "might" [18:06] The JAR I have is supposedly the correct bitness [18:07] jeffszusz: ok, can you state what you've done to get those errors [18:08] i try to run an install script that will unpack a JAR for me [18:08] it says it's unpacking the JRE and then gives me those errors [18:08] i'm on 12.04 [18:09] jeffszusz: You're unpacking a single .jar file? === exoplanet is now known as daswort [18:09] jeffszusz: does unp not unpack jar files? [18:09] 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 [18:10] o [18:10] 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] hitsujiTMO, i turned legacy option on but now it doesn't even boot from the network [18:10] ? [18:11] 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 === Mike is now known as Guest2632 [18:12] I've asked my coworker to doublecheck he sent the right installer but he hasn't gotten back to me [18:12] jeffszusz: Is this the installer for Oracle Java? [18:12] jeffszusz: its most likely that is is only one installer. particularly if its an older script. [18:13] sh0t: hmm. That's a little odd. legacy boot shouldn't disable pxe boot [18:13] SonikkuAmerica: its an app that bundles a jvm. [18:13] hitsujiTMO, i see :) and also just to make it sure the order of input devices is correct [18:14] the hd is the last one bot in the menu uefi and legacy (yeah if i turn on legacy uefi is still theer...) [18:14] hitsujiTMO: Ah. === lwbailey_ is now known as lwbailey [18:21] do u guys know if there is any known problem isntalling ubuntu over an HP j009el Envy Premium? [18:25] Anyone knows how to enable terminal bell on 13.10? === bassam1 is now known as skippednote === Guest2632 is now known as Mike === Mike is now known as Guest11355 [18:29] I love you. [18:29] octocodercat: I love me too thank's [18:29] xD [18:30] =) [18:30] * octocodercat is patiently waiting for his entire APT cache to move to a very slow cruzer thumb drive [18:31] I'm trying to fix a problem for a game in Wine http://wstaw.org/m/2014/01/23/plasma-desktopHn1998.png :x [18:31] I just updated Windows 8 to 8.1, unfortunately, I can't access Ubuntu boot menu so I can now only boot into Windows. [18:32] skinux: Boot Repair from a Live image [18:32] skinux: use the uefi boot menu [18:32] That too [18:32] sklinux You could load GRUB onto a USB drive [18:32] then boot from that xD [18:32] As far as I know, it's using UEFI boot menu. [18:32] skinux: What hitsujiTMO means is Charms menu > Settings > Power > hold SHIFT and click "Restart" [18:32] Why would Windows, do such a thing....modify boot processes, in order to disallow access to other OS'S....What on earth? [18:33] Wait. Would UEFI have Windows visual appearance? [18:33] Psil0Cybin: They don't, they just do it a new way that no one knows well if at all. [18:33] 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] other then force people to stick to windows? [18:34] Psil0Cybin: It's better than having to choose the OS from BIOS [18:35] 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] Hi, does anyone know if its possible to use both my AMD graphic card and intel at the same time (not a laptop). Currently on windows one monitor is connected to AMD for gaming and one to intel for twitter feed etc. is this possible in linux having them running side by side? [18:35] (which is why the whole SHIFT+click "Restart" thing) === ponbiki is now known as Guest63085 [18:36] So, how do I access UEFI boot menu? [18:36] skinux: UEFI can look like a lot of things [18:36] skinux: usually it looks like a linux-y thing on Dell servers, for example [18:36] skinux: Charms > Settings > Power > SHIFT+click "Restart" [18:36] I have Ubuntu-server 12.04.3 installed on my box... will sudo apt-get dist-upgrade make it 12.10 or not? ...hope not :) [18:36] chemist^: No. [18:36] !dist-upgrade | chemist^ [18:36] chemist^: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [18:36] it only installs new kernels right? [18:36] chemist^: you are on the LTS version track [18:37] IMHO there needs to be a Universal UEFI shell interface [18:37] octocodercat: Have you heard of EFI Shell 2.0? [18:37] it'd be the same on everything [18:37] SonikkuAmerica I haven't === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW [18:37] * octocodercat googles [18:38] octocodercat: It's a command prompt that lets you load any .efi file.

[18:39] SonikkuAmerica Is it built into the BIOS or is it a seperate download? [18:39] whats it is my nerdsss [18:39] octocodercat: In most cases it's a separate download...

I have no right click new text file.... Any ideas? [19:10] alabamahit, not having right click on the desktop is a default setting of GNOME. [19:12] just getting started building package for ubuntu, a little confused about bazaar's role in the whole picture. What exactly happens when you run bzr dh-make hello 2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz ? [19:13] I build a package, checked in all my crud, but when I check it out it seems to be missing whatever bzr needs to recognize it and build again when I run bzr builddeb -- -us -uc [19:13] Daekdroom, I have right click. It is options missing. Like here is screenie of Documents. There should be an option to make a "New" somethign...but all is missing... http://i.imgur.com/oTmWeTD.png === bfiller_afk is now known as bfiller [19:14] ahh a .bzr directory, missed that, whoops.

Because if so I don't see an option there either. http://i.imgur.com/wZXsmYF.png I'm aware of the gnome-tweak-tool; I have tried it, it just don't work.

I'm not seeing anything abnormal in my error log, where else can I look for the problem? [19:22] chemist^: depends on the app. some "install" to the $HOME so don't require it. but usually for the install you do need it. build it without sudo ofc. [19:23] hitsujiTMO, so i use "make" without sudo and "sudo make install" ? :) [19:23] who can help me [19:26] hello [19:26] chemist^: usually yes. but always check the README === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [19:32] hi everybody ! )) === Ool_ is now known as Ool === YupikGuy is now known as YupikMan [19:46] anyone familiar with installing Ubuntu?

[19:56] I should mention the 3 TB hard drive is external [19:57] siren_face2000: Yes, that will work. [19:57] siren_face2000: Just make sure grub installs to the internal drive. [19:58] I originally had Ubuntu 13.10 installed, and I was almost successful, but had errors. [19:58] ok, so what partitioning should I do? [19:59] undo ip ip route add yourhomeip/32 via 153.130.133.1 how can i undo this [19:59] siren_face2000: If you don't know for sure what data you'll accumulate where, I would suggest swap + 1 partition. [20:01] I've read that a /, /boot, /home, and /swap should be a good partitioning scheme [20:01] hi [20:02] has quit === mikesplain_ is now known as mikesplain [20:04] I may have installed ubuntu without a swap partition, how would I fix tha? [20:05] hi guys, is there a tool that would check my internet connection and point me to where the problem might be.. because currently I get about 10% pings to google.com lost [20:07] jhutchins, how about the partitioning scheme I posted? [20:07] kane77, check out traceroute. [20:08] I installed 12.04.03 desktop via DVD on my sons hp pavilion last night and it offered the option to install alongside windows.

[20:16] what is the other O.S. ? [20:17] kc9iid: Win7 [20:18] I need help making Ubuntu use a partition as SWAP. [20:18] It should allow the option of dual install when you choose the "Something Else" option on the LiveCD (or DVD), rustuptwist. [20:18] don't know. I've dual booted ubuntu with win7 many times, always comes up as an option for me when using GUI installer. [20:19] i need help getting to te getty consoles. the monitor says it's an unsupported format.. what format do i need the monitor to support? [20:19] =>rustuptwist: such as: Install alongside Windows. [20:19] What happened is I upgraded Windows 8 to 8.1, now Linux boot menu doesn't show and it boots straight into Windows and shows Windows boot menu.

Something Else [20:21] I agree jhutchins, but sometimes part of the experiment is seeing if you can install /home on a separate partition. [20:22] =>rustuptwist: check out the "Something Else" option if you don't see the option to Install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS alongside Windows. [20:22] honeybuntu: "you can create or resize partitions yourself, or choose multiple partitions for Ubuntu." [20:23] =>rustuptwist: what do you see listed under the various partitions on your hard drive (you can go back) if you selected "Something Else" or you can quit installation and restart. [20:24] hi, After installing Ubntu 12.04 , my fan is alway on. how to silence it or reduce it? [20:24] I don't know why I'd be re-installing GRUB to Linux partition because when I select that partition in UEFI boot menu GRUB menu is shown. I simply want GRUB menu to be shown by default instead of Windows boot menu. [20:24] If you selected "Try Ubuntu" instead you could use the Disk Utility to see what in the daylights is on your computer's hard drive 1st. [20:25] honeybuntu: Is shows 4 partitions 3 ntfs and 1 fat32 [20:25] *it [20:26] When I run my Ubuntu on my machine it boots so quickly I do not even get the chance to see what's posting in the boot or GRUB. [20:27] i don't know why but it boots so quickly (I have uEFI boot partition). === einar__ is now known as Einar_Shop === jlg is now known as laardo [20:28] =>rustuptwist: sounds like you have a Windows operating system on your hard drive w/classic HP Recovery partition on it.

[20:30] =>rustuptwist: you aren't able to boot into Windows - probably burned the MBR [20:30] or a virus did. [20:31] what is the correct way to connect with ssh from the outside to your home ubuntu box? [20:31] jhutchins: Dual install Ubuntu [20:31] rustuptwist: Have you read the install guide? [20:31] =>rustuptwist: your MBR is the master boot record. You know you may be able to fix that with fdisk utilities. [20:32] honeybuntu: This is a different. Hp laptop. This one boots win7 fine. It doesn't offer the Ubuntu alongside option as the same disc did last night [20:32] honeybuntu: That'll work great if he made a windows rescue disk. [20:33] I'm kind of surprised Ubuntu is working so well without SWAP. [20:33] =>rustuptwist: you are on another hp laptop. [20:33] honeybuntu: Yes [20:34] =>rustuptwist: create a rescue disk for your Windows 7 laptop now (this other HP) before you attempt an install of Ubuntu. [20:35] =>jhutchins: good call, he should create rescue disk(s) NOW if he had not done so prior.

[20:39] =>rustuptwist: That way, if you "zorch" your Windows 7 operating system during an install that goes poorly, you can always recover your Windows 7. === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence|away [20:43] i would like to make a wireless connection on my ubuntu-server box from within terminal, i added the interface wlan0 into /etc/network/interfaces and restarted it with ifconfig but it doesn't connect [20:43] =>jhutchins: you probably saved rustuptwist from possible OS catastrophe [20:46] I have a window 8.1 Desktop with EFI and Secureboot. I would like to dual boot(without loosing windows 8.1) with ubuntu. Is there a good guide for how to do this safely? [20:46] You should install ubuntu in front of windows 8 if you are utilizing uEFI boot. [20:47] honeybuntu: 8.1 is already installed on the machine [20:47] =>malgorath: I assumed so. [20:48] honeybuntu: perhaps I misunderstood you, I thought you meant install ubuntu before windows 8 [20:48] =>malgorath: I hope you also made "Recovery & Repair disk(s)" for your Windows 8.1 operating sys. [20:50] =>malgorath: I understood that Win 8.1 x64 is running on your machine. However if you have uEFI BIOS engaged you will find that Windows 8.1 with it's Boot Manager does not like to share the HDD or SSD with another operating system. [20:51] honeybuntu: would it be simpler to just use a different hard drive? [20:51] hi, can i close all other sessions of byobu (both tmux and screen)? [20:51] =>malgorath: Yes, that is what I did. [20:51] honeybuntu: do you just do boot select and boot from the other drives as needed? [20:52] =>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. [20:53] =>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. [20:54] 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] =>malgorath: I specifically chose this laptop because i wanted to run Ubuntu w/o any intrusive manipulation from Windows Boot Mgr. [20:55] i built this system but the card was a gift from a friend [20:56] =>malgorath: You will need to disable Secure Boot functions, disable Intel Anti-Theft Technology (if that is one of your BIOS options) === whitenite is now known as zz_whitenite [20:57] =>malgorath: Also [Enable] Launch CSM and PXE opROM. [20:58] 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] =>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] maybe I'm missing something? It's default installation of my vps hoster so I have no clue [20:58] =>malgorath: Are your BIOS on your machine current? === zz_whitenite is now known as whitenite [20:59] Fohlen: as in specific scripts or all scripts in /etc/init.d ? [20:59] honeybuntu: I've not updated them since I bought it a year ago so I'm checking now [20:59] some specific hitsijuiTMO, for example new packages [20:59] =>malgorath: If BIOS are not up to date and you plan to utilize another hdd - do not panic. [21:00] I installed openvpn later on and it doesn't start up automaticly [21:00] same for dnsmasq and few others [21:00] service recognises it fine but yeah [21:00] also rc.local does not execute [21:00] =>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). [21:01] I doubt a bios version makes any difference [21:01] hitsujiTMO, any idea? [21:01] it's rare a bios bug would cause a problem [21:01] my boot mode is LEAGACY+UEFI [21:01] Fohlen: how exactly did you install them? [21:01] via apt-get [21:02] malgorath: how can it be "legacy+uefi" it's either legacy or uefi [21:02] I like to roadtest various BIOS & their "tweak" or "bug resolves" against compatibility with various peripherals against running Ubuntu smoothly. [21:02] is there a way to show mounted devices on lxde's desktop? [21:02] ikonia: thats what is says, I'm not making it up [21:02] hitsujiTMO, might /bin/sh -e cause that error about rc.local? [21:02] I'm on ubuntu 13.04 [21:03] honeybuntu: that just seems wrong as it's not going to effect peripherals [21:03] some people say you should remove the -e parameter === mgolawala is now known as KT [21:03] beginner networking? wher to start? [21:03] Something I found long ago with LINUX that sometimes older BIOS when running with a dual boot cause less problems with the GRUB. [21:04] honeybuntu: you're just making stuff up now [21:04] =>ikonia: it is not wrong. [21:04] honeybuntu: it is wrong, the bios won't effect your peripherals or ubuntus use of them [21:05] Not Ubuntu's usage but with dual boot it did affect Windows and Ubuntu running together in harmony re: GRUB stability. [21:05] honeybuntu: sorry - no [21:05] 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 [21:07] =>ikonia: reserved space for BIOS partition -->ubuntu === mikesplain_ is now known as mikesplain [21:07] honeybuntu: what ??? [21:08] lol turns out i had ubuntu 13.04 installed on a 60g ssd in a drawer that just works [21:08] =>ikonia: my findings are simply wrought from hands-on research, not white notes. [21:08] honeybuntu: yes, but it's wrong, [21:08] honeybuntu: so I suspect you just don't know the problem [21:08] hitsujiTMO does that mean any error will break execution? [21:08] Maybe some iptable modules are buggy [21:08] Is there any difference in installing ubuntu 13.10 alongside windows in UEFI than on a regular hdd? [21:08] Fohlen: any untested error will break execution [21:09] Wiz_KeeD eufi has nothing to do with the hard disk [21:09] Wiz_KeeD: it's the pre-boot enviornment [21:09] i still can't connect to my wireless :( been trying it for like an hour [21:09] True, though I had a lot of trouble with it than regular BIOS [21:09] that's good to know [21:09] =>ikonia: it is okay to agree to disagree - i am not one to argue. [21:09] does the SSD make a difference? [21:09] I think I read somewhere it might be confused with RAM or something similar [21:10] Wiz_KeeD what part of "it's nothing to do with the hard disk" did I not make clear [21:10] 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] Wiz_KeeD: sounds lieke you need to not read articles full of bad info [21:10] hitsujiTMO, it is not MBR, are you sure? [21:10] Wiz_KeeD do you actually know what uefi is ? [21:10] no wait, I think you are right [21:11] euFI BIOS are resident primarily for the Windows operating systems. [21:11] honeybuntu err no [21:11] honeybuntu please stop just making up information that is wrong [21:12] 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] Thank you hitsujiTMO. [21:12] hitsujiTMO that's probably the best cleanest description, kudos === eli_ is now known as beans [21:13] ikonia: np [21:14] You can run Ubuntu without utilizing uEFI BIOS partition. [21:14] honeybuntu not on a uefi setup [21:14] If you are not dual booting with Windows operating system. [21:14] honeybuntu: no, you need an efi partition on an efi system [21:14] Is there away to change virtual screen size without using xorg.conf ? [21:14] doesn't matter what you are booting [21:14] 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] AwesomeDragon: xrandr ? [21:14] no [21:15] AwesomeDragon: why not ? [21:15] xrandr shows the error that the maximum screen size is 1920x1920 when i try to do something bigger [21:15] I installed without utilizing uEFI BIOS partition and ran Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [21:15] AwesomeDragon probably a litmitation of the driver [21:15] AwesomeDragon: may need to fix that first [21:15] honeybuntu if you have uefi enabled - you need the uefi partition [21:15] honeybuntu: then you disabled uefi and installed in legacy bios [21:15] I didn't. [21:16] honeybuntu: this is the final time I'll ask you [21:16] honeybuntu: stop making up stuff [21:16] I disabled uEFI. [21:16] 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] you just said you didnt [21:16] Correct. [21:16] now you said you did [21:16] but everytime i create an xorg.conf it does not start anymore properly [21:16] I'm confised [21:16] er confused even [21:16] and i only can use xrandr after login [21:16] less than 5 seconds apart [21:16] openjdk-7-jre-headless...do i want that... [21:17] AwesomeDragon: what graphics card are you using ? [21:17] And i have tried manyyy xorg.conf configurations [21:17] I already made an alias to it to access it quicker [21:17] AMD Radeon with fglrx driver [21:17] an alias / [21:17] what do you mean I created an alias to acces it quicker ? [21:17] access what ? [21:17] some people like to help, others like to argue. I did not come to argue or insult people. [21:17] alias xconf="/etc/X11/xorg..conf" [21:17] honeybuntu you are not helping given bad information as fact [21:17] .. -> . [21:18] honeybuntu: unless you can clearly state factual information, it's probably best you don't help [21:18] After i typed that about 200 times i created an alias :P [21:18] AwesomeDragon: ok, so that really doesn't have any relevence [21:18] i know [21:18] AwesomeDragon: first question - have you ever got the resolution you want in linux with this card ? [21:18] I always get the resolution i want [21:18] Does nvidia really work better with ubuntu for gaming graphics? [21:18] but not on the monitors i want from beginning [21:19] AwesomeDragon so you can get the setup you want ? [21:19] yes malgorath [21:19] konnor: What would be a video card from nvidia that would give me similar graphics as an amd 7870 dpes om womdpws [21:19] hello [21:20] 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] AwesomeDragon: maybe the monitors are misreporting the supported resolutions to xorg. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/#Adding_undetected_resolutions [21:20] should mention that i am not using ubuntu but bodhilinux, but the guys there are clueless? [21:20] AwesomeDragon: we don't support that distro here, sorry. [21:20] I know [21:20] AwesomeDragon: best to take it to their support resources. [21:20] but i don't think there is much difference with xorg.conf setup [21:21] AwesomeDragon there can be, and I'm sorry we don't support it here [21:21] or at least i hoped someone would know another way to change virtual screen size [21:21] AwesomeDragon: they have support resources / experience with their distro setup, please take it to those resources. [21:21] cuz as long as there is no xorg.conf it starts all monitors in clone mode [21:22] Xorg is a reliable resource AwesomeDragon. They have far more resources that channel. [21:22] and then i can use xrandr, but only up to 1920x1920 [21:22] AwesomeDragon: it's not for this channel. [21:22] well #xorg seems nice, did not thought about that, thx honeybuntu [21:23] Xorg provides more resources than this channel can for specific issues relative with graphics drivers [21:23] Intel graphics drivers as well. [21:23] well, that's not trye [21:23] true [21:23] how can i run 2 xwindows? [21:23] hello [21:23] more so due to ubuntu's xorg layout [21:24] i can't possibly be right...lol...i must be wrong === Guest739 is now known as Gandi [21:24] honeybuntu: yes, [21:24] honeybuntu: hence why I'm asking you to stop helping unless you are sure of things [21:24] Anyone available to help? [21:24] beans people don't know until you ask a question [21:25] "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?" [21:25] don't ask, just argue - what a waste when you could be helping people in channel. [21:26] beans I gues the first quesiton is, are you using uefi or legacy mode ? [21:26] I'm not sure exactly how to check that [21:26] 80% sure uefi [21:27] beans: using mbr suggests legacy bios. can you boot the ubuntu live cd and pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l === Mike is now known as Guest66091 [21:28] Unfortunately I'm not actually as my desktop computer right now, I'm on my laptop at school. [21:28] ikonia: You didn't ban honeyubuntu did you? [21:29] beans: once you get home can you do so. Then we can verify your systems setup [21:29] rustuptwist: that's not your concern [21:29] Looking at my mobo spec's page, it says "UEFI BIOS (EZ Mode) - Flexible & Easy BIOS Interface" [21:30] beans: it may support uefi, but your system could still be installed as legacy bios. that needs to be determined first. [21:31] hi folks, how can I force grub to reinstall? [21:31] I believe my grub is messed up [21:31] andrewjs18: in what way messed up? [21:31] ikonia: I am a fellow human being and Netizen. I am concerned but that doesnt mean i am irrational or illogical [21:31] hitsujiTMO, it doesn't seem to automatically boot into ubuntu upon reboot, even though it's set to auto boot after 10 secs in the config [21:32] andrewjs18: can you pastebin the contents of: /etc/default/grub [21:32] hitsujiTMO, also, when I try to install packages with apt-get, it's screwed up and returns this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[21:42] Gandi: same default config. you can change the running config with xrandr [21:43] plz help .. somebody sent me pic with extension php7.jpeg .. how to check if my ubuntu machine is hacked?

If you want to play around with such a thing look at the dm/xorg configs for SteamOS. This is the same config as you're describing [21:45] cyford: what do you mean by pulseaudio addons? what did you install exactly?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:02] Question: How do I stop ubuntu server12.04 from sending email? [22:02] will that reset it with optirun? [22:03] why cant I change the ownership of my file to somebody else?? [22:03] chown just fails out [22:03] this means there is some hackers spy me? http://pastebin.com/Wi8eefkf [22:03] Gandi: wait: you want 2 xservers running on 2 outputs with optirun? [22:03] Smirnov: Must be root or use sudo. [22:03] 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 [22:04] are there any gnome apps that allow highlighting pdfs [22:04] Guest84164: Thats the output from what running on which Ubuntu? [22:04] ony 1 with optirun [22:04] so i have 12.04 installed and need to figure out how to get my wireless card working [22:04] bekks: sudo rkhunter --check [22:05] jhutchins: ah yeah there we go.. thanks. [22:05] jhutchins: i wish the error message was more descriptive instead of just saying operation not permitted [22:05] Guest84164: Running on which Ubuntu exactly? [22:05] Gandi: that is a hell of a setup. i dont know if that will work out [22:05] ubuntu 13.10 32 bit unity [22:08] i was asking for directions not solutions :) [22:09] i have 1 more question regarding sudo [22:09] Gandi: you are sure the 2 xserver solution works on hybrid video cards? i am not sure [22:10] because the optirun stuff is already a modified 2nd xserver. [22:12] i went back with adobe afterwards [22:12] thanks for helping me try it though [22:14] How do I configure or remove email from Ubuntu Server 12.04. I continue to recieve email from my server hourly [22:14] biggdadd73: Then revoke what you have configured. At least stop the mail server daemon you installed and configured. [22:14] 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. [22:16] Carlinhos: Use a non-beta version. [22:17] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=429338.0 [22:17] that is actually what I am asking...how to find out what daemon that is... [22:17] biggdadd73: Which one did you configure? [22:18] biggdadd73: postfix, sendmail, exim4, qmail, etc? [22:18] that's the problem. I don't remember but I believe it was gmail [22:18] 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? [22:19] biggdadd73: gmail is the google mailing platform, not your mail server you configured on your server. [22:19] biggdadd73: When you say you're getting mail from the server, what exactly do you mean? [22:19] biggdadd73: you need to know which daemon you configured, not which mailbox you are using. [22:19] In my gmail account I receive an email about every hour sometime more [22:20] biggdadd73: Saying what? [22:20] biggdadd73: Then stop the mail server daemon on you server. [22:20] biggdadd73: Which is not gmail, but one of the named above. === rustuptwist_ is now known as rustuptwist [22:22] it starts with cron followed by a bunch of code...php etc [22:23] 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] biggdadd73: Then fix your mailserver, not your mailbox. [22:24] biggdadd73: Ok, can you run crontab -L on your server? [22:24] Smirnov: If you get a permissions error as a non-root user, assume that it means you need root. [22:24] ikonia tell me something I don't already know, that is the reason I am trying to remove it... [22:24] Smirnov: If you get a permissions error as root, chances are something's wrong. [22:24] biggdadd73: then just shut the mail server down [22:25] biggdadd73: Then close you mailbox, login to you server, and configure or shutdown your mailserver. [22:25] jhutchins: thanks yeah I got it :) [22:27] Smirnov: You'll also get "command not found" errors for programs in /sbin that some feel are misleading. [22:32] 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] 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? [22:33] biggdadd73: you just said you whre trying to shut it down [22:33] http://i.imgur.com/K3VqIOj.jpg?1 Anyone care to guess why those two slots are disabled, and how to enable them? [22:33] biggdadd73: if you are not capable of running it - I suggest shutting it down until you are [22:33] Orpheon: nothing to do with ubuntu, so not really for this channel [22:34] ikonia, any idea what channel I could ask? [22:34] Orpheon: ##hardware ? [22:34] ah [22:34] Orpheon: your hardware vendor ? [22:34] thank you [22:34] is gone [22:34] 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] bekks: Who is to say he configured a mailer daemon?? [22:35] FireEater64: He himself. [22:35] the fact that one is running....and he said I configured it but don't know how [22:35] bekks: Must have missed that, apoloigies === whitenite is now known as zz_whitenite === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [22:36] FireEater64 - Do you know how to verify what mail program is installed? [22:36] biggdadd73: Can't you just do: 'sudo netstat -ltnp' and see which one is installed? [22:37] In windoze I would just check the control panel under uninstall or the programs folder [22:37] biggdadd73: sudo dpkg --get-selections|sort|less [22:37] biggdadd73: Which will not show you which program is active or not. [22:37] biggdadd73: On Ubuntu, you can do: dpkg -l | less [22:37] that will give you a alpha sorted list of the installed programs [22:37] biggdadd73: Mine's shorter. [22:38] jpds and Bsims...thank you! [22:38] biggdadd73: And which mail server daemon do you run? [22:39] are the fglrx-updated drivers the best to be using if I want max graphics from my ati 7870? [22:40] bekks - that is the question is also asked. How to verify what daemon are running...I run htop and doesn't help [22:40] if you've not done anything manually it will be postfix [22:40] hi [22:40] biggdadd73: jpds told you, you even thanked him for telling you.. [22:40] malgorath: whats the output of: cat /etc/issue [22:41] help attack the government web-site in ukraine [22:42] hitsujiTMO: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l [22:42] 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] current router settings is set to bridged [22:43] you shouldn't see wireless extensions [22:43] 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] the card should be a lan card on the guest, and wireless on the host via a bridge [22:43] your vbox guest should show a wired "eth" interface [22:43] 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] yah, I have that [22:43] but I cant run iwlist commands [22:43] juzemack on the guest or host [22:44] hitsujiTMO: okay [22:44] malgorath: maybe consider testing 14.04 since you have such a new card. The updated drivers in that may be more suitable [22:44] 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 [22:45] juzemack: ok, so the ubuntu guest will not see a wireless card, it will see a wired withernet card, [22:45] juzemack: you should not be able to wirelessly scan on an ethernet card [22:45] hitsujiTMO: is there a way to 'upgrade' to it? Or do I have to d/l and burn a new cdr? [22:46] so it's not allowed at all? [22:46] malgorath: I would test it from the iso first as its still a very early beta. [22:46] would it have to be a legit install of ubuntu and not a VM? [22:46] its not "not allowed" - you are running an ethernet card, you can't connect to wireless networks on ethernet cards === scottb is now known as zz_scottb [22:46] juzemack: is it a pci or usb wifi device? [22:47] Im on my laptop, it gets its connection wirelessly, so I was assuming I could access that using ubuntu [22:47] juzemack: the network card ubuntu will see is wired, and bridged to the wirless card on your host [22:47] juzemack: the card is emmulated, [22:47] pci, but I have access to a usb device [22:47] okie, I understand [22:47] juzemack: it is already connected if your windows host is connected to the wireless network [22:47] juzemack: yes. When your host machine has a net conection, the guest OS uses a virtualised network interface to share your hosts connection [22:48] 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] juzemack: you scan wifi on the host - not the guest [22:48] juzemack: the windows host is where you scan [22:49] hitsujiTMO: would it be wise to go back to 12.04 LTS? [22:49] Ok, I was under the impression the guest could get that capability too [22:49] juzemack: vbox should allow you to pass thru a usb device to the guest if you want to try that [22:49] juzemack: the windows machine is using the physical card, the ubuntu one is using the virtual link to the physical card [22:50] malgorath: you'd be running the same driver as 13.10 [22:50] ikonia: so in effect, even though my laptop is wiresless, it is simulated hardwire connection [22:50] hitsujiTMO: I will try that for fun [22:50] 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] no harm in trying I guess [22:50] ikonia: gotcha [22:50] :) [22:51] you will probably have problems with a usb card in pass through [22:51] thanks for the help === Mars__ is now known as Mars` [22:51] hitsujiTMO: ah okay, I'm just trying to get a decent python and a few other development enviroments setup. But when I move a window, the title bar does this wierd pixelation thing until I stop moving it. starting to give me a headache [22:55] I found the answer...it wasn't any of the email program that have been listed...it was "Configure sSMTP with Gmail, in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS" [22:56] how to change default settings for archive manager in Ubuntu 13.10? /apps/file-roller/general is not existing in gconf-editor [23:00] mdeka: that is in dconf on 13.10, you can use dconf-editor to get at it [23:04] glitsj16: ok, understood. thx === anakin is now known as Guest66593 [23:05] what is mode 0440 [23:06] Gandi: read access for owner and group, no access for everyone else, IIRC [23:07] !rights | Gandi [23:07] !right | Gandi [23:07] Gandi: 0440 is the equivalent of this: -r--r----- (owner and group read privileges, no write permissions, and no permissions to execute; and no permissions for others) [23:08] !permissions | Gandi [23:08] Gandi: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:08] thx [23:08] Wow, what a things of google. http://goo.gl/pF3kWN [23:08] Google is funny haha [23:09] dont klick on that ref-spam link === beans is now known as pleanbean [23:20] Hello.

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?

It works good on one Ubuntu 12.04 computer, but not the other. What should I do to the one that doesn't work good. I see there is a new Netflix desktop that is updated. How do I do that? Should I erase the old? What about Silverlight? [23:24] 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?

[23:33] ruth: PPAs are not supported here [23:33] Mars`: Having issues dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10 on two hard drives [23:34] so what about that site I sent you just made this month about netflix desktop? [23:34] pleanbean: oh, i don't dual boot. probably won't be much help. [23:34] hey, what upstart event should i `start on` so that opening port 80 is all fine and dandy? my process currently `start on runlevel [2345]` but exits with error 10x at boot time [23:34] ruth: it tells you how to install netflix from a PPA, which is not supported here [23:34] Hi. I'm trying to run an ELF, but I get "No such file or directory". After googling I found it means I'm missing libraries (?). The file is chmodded 777. I have installed ia32-libs. Does anyone have advice on how I can debug this and find out which extra libs I'm missing? [23:35] It is from the "Ubuntu Handbook". [23:36] ruth: that doesn't sound like an official document, but PPAs are not officially supported software [23:36] !ppa | ruth [23:36] ruth: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

This is the official support channel, and PPAs are not supported here. [23:36] hey i'm having trouble loading ubuntu 12.04 on a dell c2100. any suggestions? [23:36] it's a remote server [23:36] pleanbean: do you have mbr or gpt [23:36] o.k. thanks guys [23:37] hey guys.. when using sendmail its not working because the from address is user@host where host is the random hostname of the machine I am on.. how or where do I overide this so it send from a legit hostname ? [23:38] using cobbler/chef etc. [23:38] the os loads fine and even executes our recipes but the damn java kvm just won't work [23:38] it's a last resort for remotely managing these boxes [23:39] hewhomust: Right now, MBR on my Windows drive, GPT on my Ubuntu drive [23:40] pleanbean,: change the type on the ubuntu drive to mbr [23:40] So, reformat it?

[23:52] just fyi; the answer to my question was to use ldd on the binary and then ls all the dependencies, which showed me some were missing. Good day :) [23:54] what do I need to install to get the "mail" command working ? [23:55] hi room [23:57] hewhomust: What should my partition scheme be? [23:57] why is here so mute? [23:57] easiest just to do one partition as root and swap if you dont need a seperate home partition [23:58] Ok, so I don't need a separate boot partition as well? [23:58] Also, msdos = MBR, right? [23:58] yeah [23:58] you dont really need a boot partition
