| ramborocks | im in virtual box running windows 2012 server and i have to press control alt del to get to the logon screen.. although control / alt del then brings up ubuntu shutdown screen | 00:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | http://superuser.com/questions/116946/how-do-i-press-ctrlaltdelete-in-virtualbox | 00:32 |
| JENelson | ramborocks: ctrl/alt/del is activated in the guest by holding the RIGHT ctrl key and pressing DEL. | 00:32 |
| JENelson | there is also a pulldown menu option in the guest window to send ctrl/alt/del | 00:33 |
| ramborocks | ha! | 00:35 |
| ramborocks | it worked thanks hitsuji | 00:35 |
| ramborocks | Jen i had previously used the onscreen keyboard and that just was annoying | 00:35 |
| skjones | didn't i read about some controversy between ubuntu and Lubuntu? anyone remember the details? | 00:35 |
| JENelson | ramborocks: i remember being frustrated until i learned the proper key sequence. :-) | 00:36 |
| pleanbean | I need some help. I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 and its booting into a black screen with a blinking white cursor at the top left. Not responding to any keys | 00:41 |
| phil-ns | pleanbean: try ALT F1 | 00:44 |
| JENelson | pleanbean: boot from a usb stick or cdrom. re-run grub-install /dev/XXX specifying your device name for XXX | 00:44 |
| JENelson | pleanbean: also, make sure your BIOS is set to boot from the correct device. | 00:45 |
| pleanbean | JENelson, I'm selecting the boot device from within the BIOS, so I know its the correct device. Going to re-run that command now. | 00:45 |
| pleanbean | JENelson: It says "Path /boot/grub is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting." | 00:48 |
| JENelson | hmm | 00:49 |
| JENelson | try using chroot first then grub-install | 00:49 |
| JENelson | mount /dev/XXX /mnt | 00:49 |
| JENelson | chroot /mnt /bin/bash | 00:49 |
| JENelson | --there's two tricky mount commands that go here-- | 00:50 |
| pleanbean | I just installed boot-repair | 00:50 |
| JENelson | --google for them--they reuse /dev | 00:51 |
| JENelson | --and something else | 00:51 |
| JENelson | grub-install should now work | 00:51 |
| pleanbean | JENelson, which device do I want to install GRUB onto? /sda, which is my Windows drive, /sdb, which is my Ubuntu drive, or /sdb2, which is my root partition | 00:53 |

| pleanbean | JENelson: I just ignored the error, and rebooted... | 01:02 |
| === GZA-ZNC is now known as GZA-Genius | ||

| JENelson | pawprint: run two netcats. pipe the output of the first (listener) into the input of the second (sender) | 01:39 |
| pawprint | i tried that | 01:39 |
| pawprint | but i think that only creates communication one-way | 01:39 |

| JENelson | can't be done. | 01:40 |
| JENelson | not like you want. | 01:40 |

| JENelson | mojtaba, good luck. i doubt you'll find any. the subtitles must obviously be timed to appear at the correct moment. unless you have that info, you're stuck. If you do have it, you could write a program to insert it into the mp4 at the appropriate spots. :-) | 02:20 |
| hoodedice | JENelson, that didn't work | 02:21 |
| mojtaba | JENelson: before I have seen, just by changing the name of the text file to the video file, the player was showing the text! | 02:21 |

| JENelson | pleanbean, now that you've reinstalled windows, boot ubuntu and run grub-mkconfig | 02:25 |
| JENelson | pleanbean, you should now see an entry for windows in the boot configuration | 02:25 |
| JENelson | pleanbean, if that doesn't work, go check out /etc/grub.d/README. There *is* a way, but you might have to enable it. | 02:27 |
| jirido | I try to install a newer pcmanfm and make seems to complain about : cc1: some warnings being treated as errors | 02:28 |
| pleanbean | Yeah, grub-mkconfig said some stuff about Windows. Now should I reboot and check? | 02:28 |
| hoodedice | JE, do you think GRUB customizer might help me here? | 02:28 |
| JENelson | hoodedice, "it didn't work" is not that useful. Do you have any more details? | 02:28 |
| jirido | make[4]: *** [libfm_gtk_la-fm-cell-renderer-text.lo] Fel 1 | 02:28 |
| hoodedice | The GRUB config was too confusing. Also, the help wasn't very helpful. | 02:29 |
| JENelson | pleanbean, no, you don't have to. look at the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg. if windows is in there, you're all set | 02:29 |
| hoodedice | So, yeah, I couldn't config it | 02:29 |
| jirido | How could i get on from there? | 02:29 |
| pleanbean | JENelson, too late, already rebooted, and its not there. | 02:29 |
| JENelson | hoodedice, when the system boots do you see the grub boot menu? | 02:30 |
| hoodedice | No. I press Ctrl+C | 02:30 |
| JENelson | hoodedice, does anything happen? have you tried ESC? | 02:31 |
| pleanbean | JENelson: Windows is not in grub.cfg | 02:31 |
| hoodedice | And the GRUB pops up | 02:31 |
| hoodedice | Owait. Yes, the GRUB boot menu DOES pop up, sorry. | 02:31 |
| JENelson | hoodedice, ok, that's good. now type the letter 'e' on the boot item you want to change | 02:32 |
| hoodedice | Hmm, I do that | 02:32 |
| hoodedice | And then I press F2, or CTrl+C? | 02:33 |
| JENelson | hoodedice, no. you'll see another window with a bunch of lines. navigate to the one with 'vmlinuz' using arrow keys. append 'pci=acpi' at the end. press F10. | 02:33 |
| === peter is now known as Guest83544 | ||
| hoodedice | okay. Will try that now. Rebooting. Thanks | 02:34 |

| mojtaba | Hi, I have a mp4 file and a text files with movide's subtitles. Do you know how can I see them while playing movie? | 02:36 |
| pleanbean | JENelson: I ran update-grub and it added the Windows 7 entries... Now the only issue is there are two Windows 7 entries (sda1 and sda2). How do I remove one? | 02:38 |
| siren_face2000 | I've got a question here | 02:39 |
| somsip | mojtaba: the text file needs to be in a supported format for subtitles. Is it? | 02:39 |
| siren_face2000 | is there a way that I can pre-install GRUB to either my external drive or my computer's hard drive? | 02:39 |
| mojtaba | somsip: what is that format? I have just typed the subtitle. | 02:40 |
| JENelson | pleanbean, you have two windows boot partitions. You could manually edit grub.cfg and remove one of them. you could initialize the partition you want to eliminate. | 02:41 |
| somsip | mojtaba: there are many. I suggest you do some research | 02:41 |
| mojtaba | ok, thanks. | 02:41 |
| hoodedice | JENelson, Thank you very much. The job was done, but I see no acceptable or even obvious changes in read speed. I guess that this means that the pci acpi thing does not affect my hardware and will now try running ubuntu from RAM. Thank you very much again. | 02:42 |
| pleanbean | JENelson, ok. What does "initialize the partition you want to eliminate" mean? | 02:44 |
| JENelson | hoodedice, glad to hear you were able to test the solution. you're welcome. | 02:45 |
| === jack is now known as Guest65057 | ||
| JENelson | pleanbean, do you want to completely eliminate one of the windows installations? if so, you can reformat the partition. you will wipe out ALL files in that partition, windows and otherwise. make sure you have everything copied out of it first. | 02:46 |
| pleanbean | JENelson, no way, no need to do that. Just get rid of it in the grub menu. | 02:46 |
| JENelson | pleanbean, you're outside my level of experience. the file /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober is the one that adds the windows entries. Maybe read it to see if there's a way to disable it from being entered? Oh oh oh..hang on | 02:47 |
| pleanbean | JENelson, grub.cfg specifically says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE". You sure I can manually edit it? | 02:48 |

| tree_samurai | If I broke grub and Ubuntu nor super grub won't run, what are my options? | 03:04 |
| Gandi | what is /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf? | 03:04 |
| phil-ns | this upgrade to 13.10 is quite the treat eh? learned lots about config from it, even though my first *nix install was 1998 | 03:06 |
| phil-ns | just 5 mins ago had to blow away my .Xauthority file, just to get back into a display manager | 03:08 |
| wolfzrat | Logan_, ubottu guys sorry for the incovientet of topic question wont happen again =0 | 03:09 |
| zykotick9 | phil-ns: do you use sudo with GUI apps? most common cause of .Xauthority corruption (being owned by root). | 03:09 |
| tree_samurai | Sorry broke up | 03:12 |
| phil-ns | zykotick9: nope, in fact I eschew gui, last week I changed my system over to xfce and blew away all the gnome cruft completely, only xfce and only lightdm. | 03:12 |
| tree_samurai | I tried grub channel and nobody was there | 03:12 |
| phil-ns | zykotick9: the really sh!tty thing, I know exactly when it happened, one simple thing, I booted to my windows7 partition. | 03:13 |
| tree_samurai | Do any of u know grub | 03:13 |
| JENelson | tree_samurai, boot from usb stick or cdrom and run boot-repair | 03:13 |

| tree_samurai | Ok thanks, will try USB, just didn't know if there was a better way | 03:14 |
| phil-ns | JENelson: hmm, boot-repair? was tree's issue he installed 13.10 and no longer had a windows partition? | 03:14 |
| tree_samurai | It isn't a boot repair issue though | 03:15 |
| slacko253281 | umm | 03:15 |
| tree_samurai | Super grub should have fixed it, but nothing happened | 03:15 |
| phil-ns | fair enough, just asked cause I needed it last week after 13.10 | 03:15 |
| phil-ns | and it works very well | 03:15 |
| tree_samurai | It was a old ver of ubuntu | 03:15 |
| JENelson | tree_samurai, oh wait. sorry, i didn't understand the problem. | 03:16 |
| phil-ns | ah yes, the grub 1.x vs grub 2.x | 03:16 |
| JENelson | tree_samurai, i guess you'll have to restate the problem. i am heading to dinner so I hope someone else can help. | 03:17 |

| siren_face2000 | I'm in Ubuntu Studio 13.10 | 04:12 |
| siren_face2000 | I have a 3 TB external drive | 04:12 |
| Jordan_U | siren_face2000: I assume you're doing this because you plan to have multiple GNU/Linux distros installed and want grub to be in a separate partition so that any of them can be deleted without breaking grub. If that's not your end goal, please state your end goal. | 04:13 |
| siren_face2000 | well, I am doing this separately from my windows hard drive. | 04:13 |
| siren_face2000 | I used GParted to do it | 04:15 |
| siren_face2000 | and I have downloaded & extracted GRUB 2 to the dedicated partition | 04:17 |
| Jordan_U | siren_face2000: What is your end goal? Why not use the normal configuration of grub in Ubuntu? The normal configuration being: grub's images and grub.cfg in /boot/grub/, which is a directory in your root partition rather than on a separate partition, and (for BIOS systems) grub's boot sector in the MBR or (for UEFI systems) the grub efi binary in the EFI System Partition. | 04:18 |
| siren_face2000 | should I just let the Ubuntu installer take care of that? | 04:18 |
| Jordan_U | siren_face2000: Yes. | 04:19 |

| Elembis | I tried upgrading to 12.10 on a laptop with a non-PAE CPU, and now I appear stuck: chrooting from a liveCD tells me the distribution is 12.10, but I can't install linux-image-generic, since it depends on linux-image-3.5.0-45-generic, which doesn't support non-PAE CPUs. | 06:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You would be right... | 06:34 |
| Elembis | lsb_release -a says 12.10, quantal. | 06:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Elembis: There is a Lubuntu remix on the way that "fakes" the PAE so that the latest kernel is installable | 06:35 |
| Elembis | How can I just get back to 12.04? | 06:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Elembis: Get a 12.04 Live image and reinstall... | 06:36 |
| Elembis | >_< | 06:36 |
| Elembis | That will work, it's just annoying. Thanks for your help. | 06:37 |

| somsip | JordanJ2: should be plenty. So you're running a GUI with it? Could it be a video RAM issue (I've never used a GUI on VM so I'm guessing here) | 07:15 |

| helmut_ | hi | 07:42 |
| Seveas | Guest35004: because your DHCP server is failing? | 07:46 |

| === newbie is now known as Guest34922 | ||
| makara | sudo -i | 08:00 |
| makara | ifconfig | 08:00 |
| makara | tell me the name of the interfaces you see. Should be 2 or 3 | 08:01 |
| Guest35004 | makara: ok | 08:01 |
| Guest35004 | makara: what now? | 08:01 |
| makara | the names of the interfaces please | 08:02 |
| makara | left column | 08:02 |
| Guest35004 | eth0 and lo | 08:02 |
| makara | what version of Ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| Guest35004 | Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy) | 08:02 |
| makara | Guest35004, for eth0, is there an `inet addr` ? | 08:03 |
| Guest35004 | makara: Unfortunately no | 08:03 |
| makara | that's good | 08:03 |
| makara | means you haven't set a hard IP | 08:03 |
| Guest35004 | makara: Ok :). What do I have to do now? | 08:03 |
| makara | status network-manager | 08:03 |
| Guest35004 | makara: running | 08:04 |
| makara | Guest35004, what router are you using? | 08:04 |
| Guest35004 | makara: I'm in a company. I don't know. | 08:04 |
| Guest34922 | Remember me ... the guy who couldn't empty his Trash? I tried a new approach ... through Nautilus (on my computer, it comes up as "Files") I got in the directory /.local/share/Trash/ and clicked on the icon for the subdirectory "files". Before, it would just hang with "preparing to delete" for hours on end. Now it is listing the files it is preparing to delete ... by the time soneone responds | 08:05 |
| Guest34922 | it'll have reached 1,500,000 files and 19.9GB | 08:05 |
| Guest34922 | That scares me ... | 08:05 |
| makara | Guest34922, sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 08:06 |
| makara | Guest35004, you need to speak to the admin then | 08:06 |
| Guest34922 | makara: I've tried so many things, including your suggestion | 08:07 |
| makara | Guest35004, do you know the IP of the router at least> | 08:07 |
| Guest34922 | makara: And it hadn't worked | 08:07 |
| makara | Guest34922, it will work, but some process is broken. You need to deal with that | 08:07 |
| Guest34922 | makara: Why, though, is it telling me that it is preparing to delete 1.5 million files? | 08:07 |
| Guest34922 | makara: And how do I fix that? | 08:08 |
| somsip | Guest34922: someone yesterday was deleting 12GB and millions of files and having probs. He used 'doublecmd'. No idea what it is but might help (http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/01/23/%23ubuntu.txt) | 08:08 |
| Guest34922 | makara: I mean ... deal with that | 08:08 |
| makara | Guest35004, you can try set a static IP | 08:08 |
| lisberoia | Double Commander gives problems when deleting massively -- my personal experience | 08:09 |
| Guest34922 | somsip: Up until this last try, I was NOT able to empty the trash | 08:09 |
| makara | Guest34922, so nautilus is screwed. Use Marlin or something | 08:09 |
| Guest35004 | makara: Say the IP is 10.1.3.30. How can I fix my problem? | 08:09 |
| somsip | Guest34922: if it's empty now, fine. If you're still struggling, I offered a suggestion | 08:10 |
| Guest34922 | somsip: Thx | 08:10 |
| sk1special | so since im bored of my other issue. can anyone tell me why my wireless network only shows up when i click hidden networks? and Its not showing as hidden anywhere else | 08:10 |
| makara | Guest35004, you set your ip to 10.1.3.50: stop network-manager & ifconfig eth0 10.1.3.50 | 08:10 |
| zooptwo | Hello, I am having problems getting a system to boot. It is hanging saying that it cannot mount a remote CIFS share. Although that share is accessable, and the network interface on the box being booted is online and pingable. Wondering if someone knows a trick. ;) | 08:11 |
| Guest34922 | somsip: It isn't empty, it just tells me that it is preparing to delete ... and telling me how many files (didn't know I had space for so many files) and the size. | 08:11 |
| CookiesRgooD | hey there guys | 08:11 |
| makara | Guest35004, but there might be conflict with another client on your subnet who has been assigned that address from the DHCP | 08:11 |
| CookiesRgooD | i have a quick question for all of you. | 08:11 |
| makara | Guest35004, so you need to know what range of IPs are in use, and which are open | 08:11 |
| Guest34922 | somsip: I will leave that option (double commander) open if I can't find another solution | 08:11 |
| CookiesRgooD | i've setup a static ip with ssh into my RPI. When I attempt to connect my wifi dongle, my RPI seems to not connect via eth0. Would anyone be able to explain to me why? | 08:12 |
| makara | zooptwo, CIFS shouldn't be necessary at boot. You can remove it from /etc/fstab | 08:12 |
| somsip | Guest35004: read up on it if you are going to use it. It's 'doublecmd' | 08:13 |
| zooptwo | Yea, but I can't get it to boot. | 08:13 |
| zooptwo | to change it. | 08:13 |
| CookiesRgooD | any thoughts? | 08:13 |
| makara | zooptwo, boot from live CD | 08:13 |
| zooptwo | Unfortunately it is at a datacenter. | 08:13 |
| CookiesRgooD | i've setup a static ip with ssh into my RPI. When I attempt to connect my wifi dongle, my RPI seems to not connect via eth0. Would anyone be able to explain to me why? | 08:14 |
| zooptwo | Thanks though. | 08:14 |
| makara | zooptwo, I messed up the fstab once, and we were able to mount the virtual disk onto another instance, edit the fstab, and put it back again | 08:14 |
| makara | zooptwo, that was with Amazon. Not sure how flexible your provider is? | 08:15 |
| CookiesRgooD | i've setup a static ip with ssh into my RPI. When I attempt to connect my wifi dongle, my RPI seems to not connect via eth0. Would anyone be able to explain to me why? | 08:15 |
| zooptwo | No worries just didn't know if there were any other tricks. I will figure a way to get it on a live CD | 08:15 |
| zooptwo | Was thinking of shutting the switchport interfaces down to make the network actually down. Then maybe it would pass that point. | 08:15 |

| vincenzoml | Hi all. I have a laptop with only ubuntu 13.10, booting on UEFI since I previously had windows (RIP). I just installed ubuntustudio but the system still boots the previous system | 08:21 |
| EmirX | hello people... I just need a quick tip... How do I manualy enter location in gnome-commander, like I would do in totatl commander on windows ? | 08:22 |
| tapamo | Hi to all | 08:24 |
| vincenzoml | on the ubuntustudio channel I learned that ubuntustudio's default kernel is not signed; how could I add some boot stanza to ubuntu's grub to boot the other distributions' grub? | 08:24 |
| tapamo | I have a problem with my network connection on ubuntu 13.10 | 08:24 |
| tapamo | how to connect with the last used network profile ? | 08:25 |
| tapamo | by default of course | 08:25 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: If it's another grub you could use 'chainloader +1' with the appropriate "set root=hdx,partY" prior to it | 08:27 |
| zooptwo | I have anotheer question the, For some reason when the system is booting I never See the Grub Menu. Is there something I am missing? | 08:27 |
| TJ- | zooptwo: By default GRUB menu is hidden unless you're pressing Shift key as GRUB starts | 08:27 |
| zooptwo | awesome! | 08:27 |
| vincenzoml | TJ: do you mean, by editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? | 08:27 |
| zooptwo | thanks ;) | 08:27 |
| zooptwo | Just need to pass the single user mode option. | 08:28 |
| vincenzoml | TJ: do you have a link to an example? | 08:28 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: There's a better way, to avoid "update-grub" messing with it... just add your "other OS" 'menuentry' stanza in "/boot/grub/custom.cfg" | 08:29 |
| defk53 | is their a way to rollback unity to earlier versions? Have tried looking everywhere. none seems to be talking about it. (http://bfiller.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/unity-2d-apps.png) | 08:30 |
| vincenzoml | TJ-: that file does not exist, shall I create it and add a "menuentry "..." {" there directly and then update-grub? | 08:30 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: I don't, mainly because it is very trivial to do: "menuentry 'Chainload Other GRUB' { ; set root='hd1,gpt2' ; chainloader +1: }; " | 08:30 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: Yes... create by hand ... if you look at "/etc/grub.d/41_custom" you'll see if includes code in the main grub.cfg that'll read "/grub/custom.cfg" at boot-time | 08:31 |
| UbuntuUser1234 | Is it possible to disable USB charging of an attached device on Ubuntu? | 08:31 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: s/if includes/it includes/ | 08:32 |
| vincenzoml | TJ-: done that now, and update-grub seems to have given a positive reply, thanks! I'll reboot just in seconds | 08:32 |
| TJ- | UbuntuUser1234: No. The device decides to charge, the power on the port is a requirement of the USB standard | 08:32 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: Before you reboot... | 08:32 |
| * vincenzoml is listening | 08:32 | |
| Merrrrs | hey I have a question | 08:33 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: Just "cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and confirm that there are lines referring to including "custom.cfg" appearing at the end of the file | 08:33 |
| vincenzoml | TJ-: thanks, they're there, shall I reboot? | 08:33 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: If you've set root correctly, sure :) | 08:33 |
| UbuntuUser1234 | TJ-: This other device is a Nexus 7 tablet with Ubuntu Touch. Have you any idea can I somehow command it to stop charging? | 08:34 |
| Merrrrs | I searched the ubuntu wiki, but I did not see instructions on how to make a backup image of my HDD using 'dd' | 08:34 |
| Merrrrs | I have a 60gb SSD | 08:34 |
| Merrrrs | Anyone know how? | 08:34 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: what's the plan, what do you need the backup for and how to you intend to use it ? | 08:36 |
| Thrasymachus | http://lmgtfy.com/?q=backup+hard+drive+dd | 08:36 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, I have an external HDD (1TB). I want to make a backup of my HDD. | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: that's not helpful | 08:37 |
| OerHeks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging#Backup_with_dd | 08:37 |
| Merrrrs | I figured it should be easy, seeing as I only have a 60gb SSD | 08:37 |
| Merrrrs | **backup of my SSD | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: first thing to consider is how you plan to use this backup once you have it | 08:37 |
| Thrasymachus | the three top links all explain it!! | 08:37 |
| ikonia | is dd the right option for you | 08:37 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, I want to keep it on my external HDD just in case. I want to use this project also, as a learning tool. So I can make weekly backups of my SSD | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: stop it - try to actuall help the users end goal rather than just google links that you've not actually verfieid fit his need | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: ok, but if your hard disk fails, how do you plan to use the backup ? | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: is it simpley for a whole system recovery, or for file recovery too | 08:38 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, I have an SSD. | 08:38 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, And system recovery | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: yes you've said that, repeating it doesn't really answer the questions | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: what will you do if your hard disk fails ? | 08:38 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 08:39 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, What do you mean? | 08:39 |
| cristian_c | How can I add a discussion group type account in Sylpheed? | 08:39 |
| Merrrrs | my SSD? | 08:39 |
| Merrrrs | or my External HDD? | 08:39 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: yes, if your SSD fails how will you use the recovery image to get your system back ? | 08:39 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, I don't know. Nor do I really care. | 08:39 |
| Merrrrs | Probably buy a new SSD? | 08:39 |
| Merrrrs | Sorry if that sounded condescending/sarcastic | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: you should care as your planned recovery position will determain if a dd backup is of any use to you or not | 08:40 |
| TJ- | UbuntuUser1234: No. You'd have to ask Samsung | 08:40 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, I figured if I borked something on my system, I could just restore to the image I made, using 'dd' | 08:40 |
| TJ- | UbuntuUser1234: No. You'd have to ask s/Samsung/Google/ | 08:41 |
| Merrrrs | I like to tinker | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: ok, so the concept you want is fine, but you need to be aware of things | 08:41 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, ok. I have an encrypted /home | 08:41 |
| Merrrrs | does that make a difference? | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: such as if you swap the disk to a different disk dd is a block by block image of your disk, including things like partition table and private region | 08:41 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, perfect. That's what im looking for. | 08:41 |
| Merrrrs | I will also keep config files & stuff like that backed up weekly. I use tar for that | 08:42 |
| Merrrrs | I know this is a bit overkill, but I enjoy making backups | 08:42 |
| ikonia | so if your disk you swap your ssd out with is slightly different, eg: different make/model/size you will have problems as the image won't go back "block by block" the same | 08:42 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: also you shouldn't be taking dd images while the system is in use, you should be booting from a remote media, such as a livecd to take an image of the disk while the operating system on that disk is not running | 08:43 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Understandable. I did not know that. If that happens, I'll find another solution | 08:43 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Thanks for that also | 08:43 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: hence why I'm asking you to think at least a little bit about what you want to achieve | 08:43 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Make a backup of my SSD. It's only 60gb | 08:43 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Nothing else, right now. My SSD is doing fine. If it fails 6 months down the line.. So be it. | 08:44 |
| ikonia | you've said that about 3 times, I understand that, but I'm trying to help you see that there is more thought than "I want a backup" | 08:44 |
| ikonia | fine then, boot from a remote media, dd the device file to an output file on your second disk | 08:44 |
| ikonia | prepare for problems with your encyrpted home | 08:44 |
| ikonia | job done | 08:44 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Thats what I need help with. Thats why Im asking for help | 08:44 |
| Merrrrs | I have an encrypted home. | 08:44 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: what's not clear ? | 08:44 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: what part of the process do you need help with ? | 08:45 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, A bit of help with the syntax... & What I should do about my encrypted /home | 08:45 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: what do you think the syntax is ? | 08:45 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: you said you like to tinker so you must have checked the dd syntax before asking | 08:46 |
| TJ- | Merrrrs: You could consider using LVM snapshots, which would allow you to do live backups of the snapshots see e.g. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/snapshots_backup.html | 08:46 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Something along the lines of dd if=/dev | 08:46 |
| Merrrrs | or something like that | 08:46 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: bit more than that | 08:46 |
| Merrrrs | idk | 08:46 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: so what's the command you've got now | 08:46 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: ok, so check the syntax, come up with an attempt and we can move forward from there | 08:46 |
| BigBangTheoryX | Hi guys. How can I find out which Desktop/Windowmanager is installed? | 08:46 |
| MrQuist | BigBangTheoryX, look at monitor. See mouse? Yes. No mouse? No. | 08:47 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, I couldn't find any documentation on the syntax of 'dd' itself. | 08:47 |
| Merrrrs | Maybe you could post an example on pastebin? | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: man dd | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: maybe read man dd and get an idea | 08:47 |
| MrQuist | BigBangTheoryX, j/k - you could use aptitude to check on installed packages | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: rather than ask to be spoonfed | 08:47 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Debian man pages are shit. | 08:47 |
| Merrrrs | I dont like being spoonfed | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: no they are not, | 08:47 |
| vincenzoml | TJ-: a big thanks! I am now online from ubuntustudio | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: and there is no need to swear | 08:47 |
| TJ- | vincenzoml: Great to hear :) | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: and if you don't like to be spoonfed read the basics of the command | 08:47 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: there are also man pages online | 08:48 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Ok dude. Whatever. Could you maybe just post an example on pastebin? Ill leave you alone after that | 08:48 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: no, you said you like to tinker, so do some research, get a basic idea and if you have problems we'll correct them | 08:48 |
| BigBangTheoryX | What do I have to install besides Gnome3 to work Gnome3 under Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy)? | 08:48 |
| Thrasymachus | do some research using google ;-) | 08:48 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, I run OpenBSD. This laptop is for uni. Im not a pro, but I know my way around the terminal. | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: I see we return to that | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Merrrrs: ok, so you should be able to read a man page either in the terminal or online | 08:49 |
| Merrrrs | ikonia, Just fuck off | 08:49 |
| TJ- | Merrrrs: ikonia has given you the information you need, if you intend using a tool with the destructive capabilities of 'dd' then its up to you learn its options, and the man-pages are *the* place to do for such information and expanded explanations. That and "dd --help" of course. | 08:50 |
| OerHeks | BigBangTheoryX, just the ubuntu-gnome-desktop package AFAIK | 08:50 |
| gordonjcp | TJ-: gone | 08:50 |
| TJ- | gordonjcp: indeed | 08:50 |
| gordonjcp | TJ-: also "doesn't want spoon fed", wants an example posted on pastebin | 08:50 |
| gordonjcp | cognitive dissonance much? | 08:50 |
| Thrasymachus | I tried to avoid all this | 08:51 |
| TJ- | Sounds like someone that expects someone else to do their work for them | 08:51 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: it would appear so | 08:52 |
| Thrasymachus | lmgtfy | 08:53 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: it's not cool to approach it like that though | 08:53 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: try to get a bit of context and actuall post valid trusted links | 08:53 |
| ikonia | not lmgtfy links (please) | 08:53 |
| BigBangTheoryX | How can I install Gnome3 from Ubuntu-CD? | 08:54 |
| BigBangTheoryX | Not from the Internet | 08:54 |
| ikonia | I don't think it's on the ubuntu cd | 08:54 |
| Thrasymachus | I know, you are right, high road and all that. I am not as generous and patient, but I admire your efforts to help, and the community needs that | 08:54 |
| Thrasymachus | I wasn't trying to help, I was trying to say he should figure it out for himself | 08:55 |
| BigBangTheoryX | ikonia: I've to type "apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop" right? | 08:55 |
| ikonia | BigBangTheoryX: did you just read what I said ? | 08:55 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: ok, maybe try to not do that in future please. | 08:55 |
| OerHeks | BigBangTheoryX, there is a ubuntu gnome desktop iso > http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/13.10/release/ | 08:55 |
| ikonia | OerHeks: is that actually production ready ? | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: I don't understand the antipathy towards "lmgtfy" responses, to be honest | 08:56 |
| OerHeks | ikonia, as of 13.04 | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: about 90% of the questions in here can be answered by the first hit on Google | 08:56 |
| Thrasymachus | sort of my point | 08:57 |
| OerHeks | gordonjcp, not all users have access to google. | 08:57 |
| Thrasymachus | though again I admire ikonia's generosity | 08:57 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: also it's not really thought out responses though it's key words, you don't know if those links are good or answer the real question, just firing words into google and posting them blindly to people - not cool | 08:57 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: in this case though a basic grasp of dd could have been found from the fist hit - no doubt | 08:58 |
| Thrasymachus | no, they should type it into google and judge the results themselves--that's the point of lmgtfy | 08:58 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: they are asking for help because they "can't" judge it | 08:58 |
| ikonia | but in this case it was just lazy - I agree | 08:59 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: or as you suggested reading the man page | 08:59 |
| gordonjcp | OerHeks: how would they have access to IRC but not Google? | 08:59 |
| ikonia | exactly | 08:59 |
| Thrasymachus | man page --even better of course | 08:59 |
| Thrasymachus | anyway, sorry for the impishness ikonia | 08:59 |
| gordonjcp | OerHeks: I mean, I quite often have IRC but not web, but that's because I do insane stuff like connect to a terminal server over a 1200bps radio modem from 50 miles out | 08:59 |
| ikonia | Thrasymachus: not a problem. | 09:00 |
| EmirX | exit | 09:01 |
| OerHeks | gordonjcp, i have no examples about country/organisation/school networks that do not connect ( without tricks) but there are some | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | OerHeks: I'd be really surprised to see something that blocked google but not IRC | 09:03 |
| jam3sm | hmm i installed 12.04.3 but when i do a update of software then install proprietry drivers for nvidia and then srestart i get stuck at the black screen with a cursor like its looking for a os that it cant find did i do something wrong? | 09:04 |
| jam3sm | ps, my hardware - i7-2600, nvidia gtx 580, 1tb hdd - windows 8 on 360gb part rest is for linux, 12gb ram gskill, xonar dg sound card, | 09:05 |
| kibibyte | i | 09:05 |
| kibibyte | hi | 09:05 |
| kibibyte | can someone help me: i have a diff file of 2 directories, now i want to make target directory looks the same as orginal based on this diff | 09:05 |
| kibibyte | is it possible? | 09:05 |
| FloodBot1 | kibibyte: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:05 |
| jam3sm | how was that flooding?!? | 09:06 |
| kibibyte | yeah | 09:07 |
| yoyo09kh3 | hi, i'm running ubuntu 12.04, apache + php. I have some CSV files that I want php to have access to but I don't want browseable / downloadable by visitors. I'm gonna create a new folder in which to store the CSVs but am unsure re permissions to set on the folder?? | 09:07 |
| kibibyte | buggy bot | 09:07 |
| TJ- | jam3sm: How long does the black screen remain? how long do you wait? sometimes there's a temporary black screen when the splash-screen is supposed to be there, but eventually the log-in screen appears | 09:07 |
| BigBangTheoryX | What's the difference between "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get dist-upgrade"? | 09:08 |
| TJ- | BigBangTheoryX: "dist-upgrade" will install "new" replacement packages | 09:08 |
| riyan__ | plis help me setting pcsx2 | 09:08 |
| BigBangTheoryX | TJ-: Can you explain the difference in more detail, please (for a beginner) | 09:09 |
| TJ- | BigBangTheoryX: e.g. if libX2 has had a version upgrade to libX2 which would break the previous interfaces | 09:09 |
| jam3sm | do i need to re-install ubuntu since the update fails to find a os on reboot | 09:09 |
| KI7MT | BigBangTheoryX Here's a pretty good explination: http://askubuntu.com/questions/194651/why-use-apt-get-upgrade-instead-of-apt-get-dist-upgrade | 09:09 |
| TJ- | BigBangTheoryX: "upgrade" will only do upgrade packages that don't introduce breakages in the software interfaces between other packages | 09:10 |
| kazak1377 | hey everybody. I have some problem with qtcreator, downloaded from official site. Whe, i try to compile my project, i getting en those: http://snag.gy/n6ZHZ.jpg what should i install to fix that? | 09:10 |
| TJ- | jam3sm: That sounds rather like it could be a simple issue of the PC's BIOS boot-order setting needing tweaking | 09:11 |
| KI7MT | BigBangTheoryX, Its from: man apt-get .. there's allot more info in there too. | 09:11 |
| BigBangTheoryX | TJ-: So If "apt-get dist-upgrade" breaks the interaction between different software-components, then why should this command be used? | 09:11 |
| TJ- | BigBangTheoryX: For example, when a new kernel version is released | 09:11 |
| jam3sm | TJ- it boots to the grub fine but as soon as i tell it to go to ubuntu it sits on the black screen with cursor up top corner as if it cant find the os | 09:12 |
| BigBangTheoryX | TJ-: Yeah. What happens if a new kernel version is released? | 09:12 |
| TJ- | BigBangTheoryX: Or say, if an application changes the library version it depends upon, the application might be "held back" by 'apt' until a dist-upgrade installs the newly required library | 09:12 |
| eject_ck | I have .deb package depends on linux-headers package (which is missing in my distro and called linux-headers-3.4-amd64 : uname -a Linux debian 3.12-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.8-1 (2014-01-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux). I've installed it with dpkg -i --ignore-depends=linux-headers /home/src/desktopvideo-9.8-amd64.deb and it works well, but when I use aptitude or apt-get it always require to remove it because of unsatisfied dependencies. How can I tell apt to keep | 09:13 |
| ikonia | eject_ck: wht distro is it ? | 09:14 |
| jam3sm | hmm might need to try something else then maybe install 12.04.3 then update restart then change drivers to proprietry nvidia ones | 09:14 |
| jam3sm | be back in a few hours i hope | 09:14 |
| BigBangTheoryX | TJ-: Ok now I get it. | 09:14 |
| eject_ck | Debian 7 | 09:14 |
| TJ- | jam3sm: OK ... that sounds like the issue I mentioned... Try this: when in the grub menu highlight the Ubuntu entry and press 'e' to edit it... move the cursor down to the line begining "linux ..." and then move the cursor to the end of that line where you see "quiet splash" ... ". remove those two options and add in "debug nomodeset". Then press F10 (or Ctr+X) to start Ubuntu with those kernel command-line options. | 09:14 |
| eject_ck | sid :) | 09:14 |
| eject_ck | ikonia: sid | 09:14 |
| ikonia | eject_ck: ok, so #debian is the channel you need | 09:15 |
| TJ- | jam3sm: The "debug" will cause lots of useful kernel start-up messages to be shown, and the "nomodeset" should ensure that an illegal video mode set isn't done... and you should eventually get the log-in screen, or some clues as to why it is getting 'stuck' | 09:15 |
| eject_ck | ubuntu uses same pakage manager, so solution should be the same | 09:15 |
| Myrtti | eject_ck: yes, but Ubuntu is not Debian | 09:17 |
| Muneeb | 09:23 | |
| daniele_ | ciao | 09:27 |
| Turnhhh | Hi all | 09:35 |
| eject_ck | Myrtti: yes, sure | 09:50 |
| eject_ck | Myrtti: but if both are using same package manager and my question is related to it, there are no even little difference between both distribs. | 09:51 |
| eject_ck | however, thank you all | 09:51 |
| thoonai | hey | 09:52 |

| thoonai | im having trouble with thunderbird: the systems locals are en_US (which ist correct) and the Thunderbird settings should be de_DE or at least not am/pm but 24h | 09:53 |
| thoonai | so I need to change the settings for thunderbird only and not changing the whole system settings | 09:54 |
| Luyin | thoonai: have you tried installing the german language pack for thunderbird? | 09:54 |
| OerHeks | eject_ck, your issue is unsatisfied dependencies due a missing header package, not ubuntu related as "our" kernel has a different name/annotation | 09:55 |
| miki | ciao a tutti | 09:55 |
| thoonai | Luyin: thanks, thats an idea | 09:56 |
| === Siya_ is now known as siya | ||
| thoonai | Luyin: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/language-tools/ as I am not too stupid, but Mozilla doesnt offer a language pack :/ | 09:58 |
| thoonai | pr am I totally wrong o.O | 09:58 |
| Luyin | thoonai: which thunderbird version are you using? | 09:58 |
| thoonai | Luyin: 24.2.0 | 10:00 |
| Luyin | thoonai: I got the same version with the german language pack, so there should one be in existance ;) gotta go now, try to look for it with google. another idea doesn't occur to me atm, but gonna think about it and tell you when I'm back | 10:01 |
| thoonai | Luyin: great, thanks | 10:01 |
| mips | How do I install gnome desktop on ubuntu 14.04, apparently gnome is in the repos | 10:01 |
| mips | hi | 10:02 |
| TJ- | thoonai: do you have installed the package "firefox-locale-de" ? | 10:02 |
| thoonai | TJ-: no. Its about Thunderbird. I need to change the settings for this only program to be changed | 10:04 |
| thom_r | Unable to open MTP device. I am sick of getting that error. How do I fix it? | 10:04 |
| glitsj16 | thoonai: you should have it in your regular ubuntu repos, sudo apt-get install thunderbird-locale-de .. did you try that yet? | 10:04 |
| thoonai | glitsj16: I'll give it a try | 10:05 |
| TJ- | thoonai: Then "thunderbird-locale-de" ? | 10:05 |
| thoonai | TJ-: done, now Im searching for the settings | 10:07 |
| TJ- | thoonai: Hang on, if it's running in the system locale en_US then that is expected; You'd need to change the locale for the application before it is launched to get European formats | 10:10 |
| TJ- | thoonai: I've confirmed that here. I'm in the UK but starting it with "LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" thunderbird" shows US AM/PM times | 10:11 |
| TJ- | thoonai: So you need to ensure your system has the "de_DE.UTF-8" language pack built, and then change the environment for the thunderbird launcher | 10:12 |
| thoonai | TJ-: how do I change the env var for thunderbird only? | 10:16 |
| TJ- | thoonai: You'd need to have a wrapper script that launches it | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | thom_r: when you last detatched the device from a USB port, did you use the safe removal feature in your OS before you physically unplug it? | 10:17 |
| thom_r | ActionParsnip, it was plugged in the whole time. | 10:18 |
| thom_r | I didn't unplug it | 10:18 |
| TJ- | thoonai: "file $(which thunderbird)" reveals that 'thunderbird' is already a symlink to a shell script, so you might be able to do something in that file. I don't see signs that it has the functionality currently | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | thom_r: so you have _never_ unplugged it from a PC? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | thom_r: as in ever | 10:20 |
| thom_r | it's my roommates, not mine | 10:20 |
| thom_r | I have no idea what he's done with it | 10:20 |
| thoonai | TJ-: ok it works quite nice (if I ignore the Gtk-Warning). Do you have an idea, how I get it integrated in the system? | 10:22 |
| TJ- | thoonai: You could add "export LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" to "~/.profile", which would affect all sh/dash/bash shell scripts, I think | 10:25 |
| thoonai | TJ-: oops. i changed all LANG to de_DE.UTF8 | 10:27 |
| thoonai | TJ-: I'd prefer a redirect in bash.rc so that if you call 'thunderbird' in your terminal, you don't call Thunderbird, but the changed script | 10:29 |
| thoonai | TJ-: export LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF8" doesn't accect thunderbird | 10:32 |
| EagleWizard420 | steve wozniak said he program better after a few beers | 10:32 |
| EagleWizard420 | what doyou guys think | 10:32 |
| Myrtti | EagleWizard420: that's not really a Ubuntu support issue, now is it? | 10:32 |
| EagleWizard420 | of course not | 10:32 |
| thoonai | EagleWizard420: thats an topic for "#ubuntu-offtopic" or "#drug_abuse" | 10:33 |
| EagleWizard420 | that's insulting | 10:33 |
| EagleWizard420 | but since I've never been to this channel and don't understand it, I'll take it as advice | 10:33 |
| TJ- | thoonai: that's because you're giving an incorrect language specification | 10:33 |
| thoonai | TJ-: how so? | 10:33 |
| TJ- | thoonai: look at my suggestion and compare it to what you've typed | 10:34 |
| thoonai | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6807689/ | 10:36 |
| TJ- | thoonai: is the de_DE language pack installed and built? | 10:37 |
| RaptorJesus | So lets all talk about what we use Ubuntu for. I'll start first: porn. | 10:38 |
| thoonai | TJ-: the thunderbird is | 10:39 |
| Myrtti | RaptorJesus: how about no? | 10:41 |
| thoonai | TJ-: stop. I don't understand this: if I export LANG to de_DE.UTF8 it works, with LC_TIME it doesnt and I didnt installed the language pack (though surely it is on the universitys system) | 10:41 |
| thoonai | RaptorJesus: #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:41 |
| thoonai | TJ-: so it works with LANG, but I'm getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6807704/ | 10:44 |

| Daghdha | how much effort/skill/time you think is required for a semi-noob to set up ubuntu as an email server? (I don't haveubuntu server, i have ubuntu desktop) | 11:34 |
| BigBangTheoryX | Another problem is: I had installed "gnome-session-fallback". After that I get the error message That an error occured with ExecutablePath "/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon. How can I fix that? | 11:34 |
| Daghdha | I see a nice https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer page, sadly it is from 2009 and my experience is that Ubuntu changes a lot so it may no longer be correct info | 11:38 |

| Ornitorrinco | why /etc/crontab don't runs in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? | 11:44 |
| === Mike is now known as Guest77014 | ||
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: What makes you think it doesn't? | 11:45 |
| Ornitorrinco | because I added lines in /etc/crontab but my ubuntu is ignoring it | 11:45 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: More likely you have an error in one of those lines, like a typo, so it's failing instead of giving the result you expect | 11:46 |
| Ornitorrinco | i added: * * * * * user /usr/bin/gedit | 11:47 |
| Ornitorrinco | it would run a gedit every minut | 11:47 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: Right, that won't work | 11:47 |
| Ornitorrinco | why not, its all okey | 11:47 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: Multiple users may be logged in on an Ubuntu system at the same time, and even a single user may be logged in graphically multiple times. gedit doesn't know what X server to run in | 11:48 |
| Kartagis | how do I know whether a patch is supposed to be applied with p0 or p1? | 11:49 |
| Ornitorrinco | and what i need to add on my line? do u know? | 11:49 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: It'll work when you run it from a gnome-terminal, because in your gnome-terminal you have an DISPLAY environment variable that tells the commands you run what X server your using | 11:49 |
| CatKiller | Kartagis: p0 or p1...2.3 etc simply define how many levels of subdirectories (slashes) to remove in the path before applying | 11:49 |
| CatKiller | Try p0 and if it doesn't work try another one | 11:50 |
| Ornitorrinco | but if i run '/usr/bin/gedit' in a terminal it execute a grafic gparted | 11:50 |
| CatKiller | it's just easier | 11:50 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: If there's only one user logged in graphically, then the value for DISPLAY is likely ":0", so * * * * * user DISPLAY=:0 gedit may work, but it's not a good idea | 11:50 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: because gnome-terminal has a DISPLAY variable, while cron does not. | 11:51 |
| Kartagis | CatKiller: 0 and 1 didn't work. it asked me "File to patch: " | 11:51 |
| CatKiller | inspect the patch file using a text editor and figure out if it looks right | 11:51 |
| Ornitorrinco | then what i would to do to execute gedit every minut? | 11:51 |
| Ornitorrinco | with a correct way | 11:52 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: A better approach would be to create a startup application that does whatever you want | 11:52 |
| CatKiller | Kartagis: You can look at resources on the web that explain patching better: https://drupal.org/patch/apply | 11:52 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: e.g. a script doing while sleep 60; do gedit & done would spawn a new gedit every minute | 11:54 |
| Ornitorrinco | okey thats a good idea | 11:55 |

| Fool1sh | Hi! I'm trying to periodically run an UI test on a VM having Ubuntu Server 12.04 + Gnome installed. I've created a cronjob using the crontab tool so it executes the command to run that UI test every minute. Problem: I get no feedback that the cronjob has been executed. Once the UI test is executed it should log different messages into a file, but that file remains empty. Any idea please? | 11:59 |
| ikonia | character screw up | 11:59 |
| geirha | anew: what terminal emulator are you using? putty? | 11:59 |
| anew | yes | 11:59 |
| ikonia | Fool1sh: depends how you've set the cronjob up - what the script actually does | 12:00 |
| geirha | anew: Make sure it's set to use utf-8 character encoding | 12:00 |
| geirha | anew: Window -> Translation -> UTF-8 iirc | 12:00 |
| Fool1sh | ikonia, as root I used crontab -e and appended that line to the file: /root/runIDE -r /root/test.sikuli | 12:01 |
| ikonia | Fool1sh: you shouldn't be root, root is looked on ubuntu | 12:01 |
| anew | thx | 12:01 |
| ikonia | "locked" sorry | 12:01 |
| Fool1sh | alright, I'm trying with another user then | 12:01 |
| Fool1sh | ikonia, ok I've tried running the script as another user and it complains: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':1.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. | 12:04 |
| Ornitorrinco | geirha: with the DISPLAY=:0 way is running well | 12:04 |
| BigBangTheoryX | How can I add shortcuts to Ubuntu's top-bar? | 12:05 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: Note that that is not a solution, it's a hack that will work "most of the time" | 12:05 |
| Ornitorrinco | then don't exist a true good form to do this with a crom utility right? | 12:06 |
| Fool1sh | ikonia, I'm connected with a VNC client as root, maybe that's the problem | 12:06 |
| Ornitorrinco | geirha* | 12:06 |
| jam3sm | hmm i wonder if its because of the i8xx-i9xx intel drivers for xorg causing the problem with the nvidia drivers causing xorg to fail to load -causing me to re-install all the time | 12:07 |
| Ornitorrinco | geirha: don't exist a good method to run X applications with the crontab really? | 12:07 |
| geirha | Ornitorrinco: Correct. Cron is not designed to interact with X. Better to use the utilities X and your desktop environment provides | 12:08 |
| Ornitorrinco | Okey thank you very much geirha you are the best | 12:08 |
| Fool1sh | geirha, what kind of utilities for Gnome for example? | 12:09 |
| geirha | Fool1sh: Well, there is the Startup Applications, which is a front-end for XDG autostart | 12:10 |
| geirha | There's also a gnome scheduled task thingy, which actually uses crontab with a python wrapper that tries to figure out what X server it should run on and sets the environment appropriately. I still consider that a hack though. | 12:12 |
| BigBangTheoryX | Has anybody an idea? | 12:13 |

| Walex | lazyfingers: that's just the default KDE config, you can change it anyway you want. But if you like simple look also at XFCE for example. | 12:58 |

| MrQuist | ahah | 13:15 |
| MrQuist | no, Rar9, ActionParsnip wants you to run this command: "file `which java`" | 13:15 |
| MrQuist | the "`" quote is a nested command | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Rar9: no, you are not adding the word 'file'. the word 'file' is part of the command | 13:16 |
| MrQuist | so this basically said "file /usr/bin/java" | 13:16 |

| ActionParsnip | Minnen: its a simple command to copy and paste to terminal, does it output anything? | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Minnen: what is to read? | 13:26 |
| Minnen | i was going to google the command to know more about it, im not currently at my ubuntu setup im at my office | 13:26 |
| Rar9 | perhaps this line: JDK_DIRS="/usr/lib/jvm/default-java ${OPENJDKS} /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun" | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Rar9: whatver you run to make it work, add it there. You could even make a script then add the script name to rc.local for neatness, same deal though. | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Minnen: dpkg -l lists allinstalled packages, the grep shows lines that start (the ^ denotes starts with) 'rc' so only those lines are output | 13:28 |

| phunyguy | kingfisher64, if not, https://launchpad.net/docky | 14:10 |
| kingfisher64 | i don't know phunyguy? I just want that launcher on the bottom | 14:10 |
| phunyguy | kingfisher64, also, channel #docky on freenode apparently exists. | 14:11 |
| kingfisher64 | thanks phunguy, didn't know either of those things as this is my first week with Ubuntu | 14:11 |
| phunyguy | kingfisher64, you can look into plank which is slated to replace it, but it is very young still. | 14:11 |
| phunyguy | errr new to ubuntu, forget it then | 14:11 |
| phunyguy | (no GUI config) | 14:11 |
| phunyguy | and welcome to Ubuntu :) | 14:12 |
| kingfisher64 | thanks, wanted to rid myself of windoze for years but finally made the permanent move. | 14:12 |
| jackneill | is there a structorizer like program for linux (http://structorizer.fisch.lu/)? this doesnt work, i got java error, or runtime error...etc.. | 14:15 |

| Xuisce1 | hi all | 14:24 |
| kingfisher64 | thanks phunyguy i've reported it at launchpad however it already existed as a problem. Docky keeps continually crashing for me so I think i'm going to uninstall. | 14:28 |
| kingfisher64 | is there a way to get the unity launcher on the bottom in 13.10? | 14:28 |
| kingfisher64 | done the googling on this and aparantly a fix was only available in v 10x of ubuntu | 14:29 |
| rob321 | hey, i recently did a clean install on my computer with ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and I can't get any of my printers working now..... The updates this morning installed the newest HPLIP but that didn't help at all. Google shows that this seems a common problem, but I can't find a SOLUTION from anything I read, just other people with the same problem.... Any printer experts here? | 14:30 |
| rob321 | I've tried 3 printers too, and other things work on the usb ports, just not printers.... the printers say "printing test page" or whatever job I send, then they say "printing completed" but nothing happens | 14:32 |
| tachyons | king1337-2, No | 14:32 |
| tachyons | kingfisher64, No, you can't | 14:32 |
| MrQuist | rob321, bash the printer | 14:33 |
| MrQuist | just smash it with other peripheral devices | 14:33 |
| rob321 | I'll run to Home Depot for a sledge right now..... | 14:34 |
| kingfisher64 | not sure why it can't be committed to unity tweak under launcher tab tachyons - let people choose | 14:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | A... sledge? Sounds a bit !ot to me... | 14:35 |
| Xuisce1 | ho rob321 | 14:35 |
| rob321 | hey, if I have to bash and smash, do it right... | 14:35 |
| tachyons | kingfisher64, It is a design decision by Mark shuttle worth | 14:36 |
| kingfisher64 | that's one person and that's solid reasoning if only Mark Shuttleworth is using Unity tachyons | 14:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kingfisher64: Also, feel free to code something yourself - Unity is free and open-source | 14:36 |
| rob321 | I tried this "debugging page" but everything seems to check out.... I'm at a total loss here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems | 14:36 |
| kingfisher64 | I'm not a developer SonikkuAmerica. | 14:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | What an excuse. | 14:37 |
| kingfisher64 | lol | 14:37 |
| tachyons | kingfisher64, why? in unity the launcher is supposed to display in left side, if you hate it use gnome-shell | 14:38 |
| tachyons | or any other de | 14:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Not-a-developer me spent a good 5 minutes on the command line and in /etc/fstab setting up a Windows partition as a mount point. | 14:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Also, Not a Coder®. | 14:39 |
| kingfisher64 | i'll try cairo dock. Docky keeps crashing. | 14:39 |
| kingfisher64 | what is gnome-shell tachyons? Only had ubuntu installed since Tuesday | 14:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !GNOME | 14:40 |
| 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 | 14:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well that's descriptive, and I wrote that factoid myself... | 14:40 |
| philinux | kingfisher64;~ or try xfce4 DE | 14:40 |
| * SonikkuAmerica uses XFCE himself. | 14:40 | |
| * philinux got use to unity | 14:41 | |
| kingfisher64 | so will I only lose the unity launcher and nothing else? I love the way information is presented when the top icon is clicked just want the launcher at the bottom - fits more icons on | 14:42 |
| LucidGuy | Does Ubuntu no longer support/work with the etc/networking/interfaces file? I prefer it over using network-manager | 14:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Rory, thank you for your input, I will do it just like that | 14:42 |
| rob321 | ok, maybe someone has a good idea of another place to go for help? | 14:42 |
| philinux | kingfisher64;~ i like it on the left as on a widescreen monitor or laptop i get more vertical space | 14:42 |
| Peace- | hello i tried to get info about my RAM but when i do sudo lshw or sudo dmidecode | grep -A 15 Memory i can't get FREQUENCY info | 14:43 |
| kingfisher64 | i'm right handed philinux so it feels more natural to be closing windows, clicking menus on the right or bottom | 14:43 |
| kingfisher64 | it would be perfect it I was left handed | 14:44 |
| philinux | kingfisher64;~ I think the close buttons can be moved | 14:44 |
| kingfisher64 | yeah in unity tweak i've moved them to the right philinux | 14:44 |
| philinux | kingfisher64;~ but position of launcher is hard coded | 14:45 |
| Raymondo | hey. I just upgraded my vps release from 10.04 to 12.04 and when I restart it has read-only file system | 14:45 |
| kingfisher64 | hard coded launcher position is the equivalent of using a fixed position design in webdesign as opposed to a responsive design - not a good idea. | 14:45 |
| Peace- | Raymondo: guess you need to edit fstab | 14:45 |
| Raymondo | Peace-: oh? | 14:45 |
| Peace- | !fstab | 14:46 |
| Raymondo | I'm in finnix now | 14:46 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:46 |
| philinux | kingfisher64;~ that subject has been done to death years ago | 14:46 |

| Xuisce1 | hm | 14:46 |
| Peace- | Raymondo: i read bad sorry i dunno about vps | 14:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: can you pastebin the output of: dmesg | 14:47 |
| rob321 | OK, well, thanks guys | 14:48 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: can't select text in this console. am I looking for something in particular? | 14:48 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: Is it Linode? | 14:49 |
| Raymondo | TJ-: no | 14:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: have you ssh'd in? | 14:49 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: ssh doesn't run | 14:49 |
| Raymondo | this is finnix web console | 14:49 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: Is it dropping to a shell prompt in the initrd? | 14:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: you're looking for hd errors especially IO Errors | 14:50 |
| Raymondo | TJ-: I don't have much visibility at all. by the time the console is available, all I can see is mknod errors in /proc | 14:52 |
| Raymondo | which just means the file system is read-only | 14:52 |
| rob321 | any thoughts ona good place to figure out whats wrong with my printers anyone? | 14:52 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: You've already done fsck ? | 14:52 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: nothing jumps out at me from running dmesg in finnix | 14:52 |
| Raymondo | TJ-: no | 14:52 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: That'd be #1 | 14:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: what exactly happens when you boot up if ssh server isn'd loaded | 14:53 |
| === ronald is now known as Guest87757 | ||
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: like I said. I eventually get to see mknod errors in the web console | 14:53 |
| Raymondo | but it's not interactive | 14:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: do you have access curl from the shell you are on? | 14:54 |
| LoZioNe | ragazzi ho una domanda,sono con BT4 r2 come unico s.o. installato sul pc,stò scaricando la .iso di Kali 1.0.6 amd64... com'è meglio fare per masterizzare la .iso su una usb da 8 Gb? | 14:54 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: yeah | 14:54 |
| Raymondo | you want me to pipe dmesg to pastebin post via curl? :P | 14:55 |
| Raymondo | TJ-: what exactly? | 14:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: lets start with: dmesg | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 14:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: can you also do a: fdisk -l | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 14:57 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: couldn't resolve host | 14:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: please try: dmesg | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://216.239.38.21 | 14:57 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: there's little value in checking the current Finnix dmesg until you've fsck-ed the file-systems ... if that doesn't show any problems, you should be looking at /var/log/* for the most recent changes at/after the upgrade, for indications of errors. | 14:58 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: 'network is unreachable' | 14:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: ok.you've no net access. | 14:59 |
| Raymondo | TJ-: yeah I'm not really sure how to find the filesystems I need to check | 14:59 |
| gtrepas | hello | 14:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: start with: fdisk -l to find the devices. | 15:00 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: who is the VPS provider? Is it Xen, KVM, OpenVZ, or what? | 15:00 |
| Raymondo | 3 disks. for each it says 'doesn't contain a valid partition table' | 15:01 |
| Raymondo | TJ-: xen | 15:01 |
| TJ- | hitsujiTMO: Raymondo that is because they are file-system images ... do "blkid ..." on each | 15:01 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: So you've got nodes like "/dev/xvda" ? | 15:02 |
| Raymondo | TJ-: yeah. found the ext3 one | 15:02 |
| Raymondo | other two are swap and finnix cd | 15:02 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: OK, so now you can "fsck /dev/xvd?" | 15:02 |
| Raymondo | '/dev/xvda2: clean, x/y files, a/b blocks' (big numbers) | 15:03 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: Good sign :) Now you can mount it to check the logs: "mkdir /mnt/target && mount /dev/xvda2 /mnt/target" | 15:04 |
| kingfisher64 | so can I install gnome can I choose on login which interface to use tachyons. I've been looking at kde, unity and gnome reviews | 15:04 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: then start by listing the logs most-recent last "ls -latr /mnt/target/var/log/" | 15:05 |
| tachyons | kingfisher64, yes | 15:05 |
| TJ- | Raymondo: then you can review the most recent logs looking for issues... use "less <log-file>" if it is in that finnix image" | 15:05 |
| kingfisher64 | and once the interface is installed it effects the whole os? I really like some aspects of default 13.10 with unity | 15:07 |
| kingfisher64 | just not the launcher | 15:07 |
| gtrepas | guys i was thinking of switching to opensuse kde but i have no idea what to expect from that. any ideas? | 15:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | gtrepas: might be a better question for ##linux | 15:09 |
| Raymondo | TJ-, hitsujiTMO: kern.log - cannot read proc file system: 1 - operation not permitted. (last message repeated about a gazillion times) | 15:09 |
| gtrepas | oh ok sorry about that | 15:09 |
| Raymondo | it was suggested I edit /boot/grub/menu.lst but not only does menu.lst not exist, there is no /boot/grub in /mnt/target | 15:10 |
| tachyons | kingfisher64, you can install it safely | 15:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: what version of ubuntu is it? | 15:10 |
| DJones | gtrepas: I think opensuse have quite a few channels on freenode, maybe look for #suse or #opensuse | 15:10 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: I ran do-release-upgrade on 10.04 to get 12.04 | 15:10 |

| === zz_scottb is now known as scottb | ||
| kingfisher64 | i've heard nice things about KDE as well | 15:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: I'm wondering if its related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/523610 | 15:11 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 523610 in rsyslog (Ubuntu Lucid) "rsyslogd spins CPU on some kernels" [High,Fix released] | 15:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | altho the bug doesn't seem to suggest a non boot | 15:12 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: would you suggest updating to a newer kernel before running the release upgrade? | 15:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: are you on a XenPV server? | 15:13 |
| Raymondo | I dunno | 15:13 |
| ikonia | your machine should be up to date with all ubuntu packages (no external repo packages) before the upgrade | 15:14 |
| ikonia | so the kernel should be the latest provided by the stable ubuntu core repo for your version | 15:14 |
| Raymondo | ikonia: I have a choice of kernerls | 15:14 |
| Raymondo | -r | 15:14 |
| ikonia | Raymondo: how do you have a choice ? | 15:14 |
| Raymondo | web admin panel | 15:14 |
| ikonia | Raymondo: then you shouldn't upgrade anything | 15:15 |
| Raymondo | ? | 15:15 |
| ikonia | as the chances are it's a basterdised ubuntu build - which the upgrade process will fail on | 15:15 |
| ikonia | it will be some sort of container (probably) | 15:15 |
| Pici | Raymondo: Who is your VPS provider? | 15:15 |
| kingfisher64 | when you say safely that obviously implies there's an unsafe way to install gnome tachyons. Have I understood you right? | 15:16 |
| Raymondo | Pici: you wouldn't have heard of it | 15:16 |
| Raymondo | ikonia: the bug thread says this issue happens on older kernels, which is what I'm running | 15:16 |
| Raymondo | I have the option to run a newer stable kernel | 15:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: Since you have no /boot/grub I'd assume its a PV vps. | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Raymondo: I'd ignore that thread and not do anything until you know your situation | 15:17 |
| tachyons | kingfisher64, I mean gnome in your ubuntu repo is safe it will not affect your unity . | 15:17 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: the suggestion about /boot/grub was from the vps support :/ | 15:17 |
| Rualmoneyman | Hello Im trying to boot Ubuntu 12.04.03 from Usb and i go through the steps,but it restarts every time. | 15:18 |
| Raymondo | ikonia: what else do I need to know about my situation? | 15:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: they may be giving out both pv and hvm in which that answer applies to hvm | 15:18 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: I see | 15:19 |
| Raymondo | that would imply they didn't even look at my account before answering | 15:19 |
| ikonia | Raymondo: I would talk to your hosting provided and ask them for support on this, the basteridsed builds that are normally in place on these types of situations will fail during upgrade | 15:19 |
| kingfisher64 | have you tried kde tachyons? | 15:19 |
| kingfisher64 | probably will try both starting with gnome | 15:20 |
| tachyons | kingfisher64, yes | 15:20 |
| Raymondo | ikonia: the first line of the response: 'In-line upgrades between major Ubuntu releases is not recommended on the VPS platform, but still possible.' | 15:20 |
| ikonia | Raymondo: yeah, it's going to fail then | 15:20 |
| ikonia | Raymondo: I'd put money on it | 15:20 |
| ikonia | if they are putting that warning on it keep away from it | 15:20 |
| ikonia | more so with the changes they must be using to use web pannels | 15:20 |
| Raymondo | this upgrade is going to be a nightmare then | 15:21 |
| ikonia | I suspect it will just fail being honest, | 15:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: What type of services have you running on the server? | 15:22 |
| ikonia | unless we know how your system works properly, it's a guess | 15:22 |
| Raymondo | hitsujiTMO: just lamp really | 15:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: do you have a backup of the data? | 15:22 |
| Raymondo | yeah | 15:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | Raymondo: may be easiest to reroll an new instance of the 12.04 image then and restore your data | 15:23 |
| Raymondo | that's what I mean by nightmare :) | 15:23 |
| Raymondo | anyway, I've made a fair bit of progress in figuring this out | 15:24 |
| Raymondo | thanks all | 15:24 |

| TJ- | alexandros: Check in "/var/log/syslog" for Network-Manager entries. They are usually very verbose and descriptive | 15:55 |
| HellTiger | ok hitsujiTMO, thx | 15:55 |
| alexandros | TJ- ok! | 15:56 |
| adsc | HellTiger: payment systems, scheduling systems, other systems that operate on business tasks | 15:56 |
| peasant65 | hi ! Can someone here help me setup the flash player for ampache (not Apache2!) | 15:56 |
| HellTiger | so i didnt understand which part of ubuntu you want to use in it. | 15:56 |
| adsc | I just heard Ubuntu is good and I want to give it a try, but only if it works from within outlook, because outlook is the best program | 15:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | adsc: none of them are operating systems | 15:56 |
| adsc | hitsujiTMO: maybe not, but they also are systems that operate on something, so why can't Ubuntu operating system be used in outlook? | 15:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | adsc: ubuntu is an operating system, like windows or OS X. It doesn't run in a app | 15:57 |
| HellTiger | you can use thunderbird in ubuntu, or outlook in windows | 15:57 |
| HellTiger | but you cant install windows into outlook | 15:57 |
| sh0t | hitsujiTMO, it seems with nomodeset i can see the splash image but after that it gives me a shell (not in X environment) saying: general error mounting filesystems. A maintenance shell will be now started. CONTROL-D will terminate and reboot the system. bash: groups : command not found | 15:58 |
| sh0t | a different problem it seems | 15:58 |
| HellTiger | maybe he means the cloud services of ubuntu | 15:58 |
| adsc | hmmm | 15:58 |
| HellTiger | adsc: what do you think is ubuntu? | 15:58 |
| HellTiger | and what exactly is outlook | 15:58 |
| adsc | but what use is Ubuntu, when you can not use it in outlook? Does anyone use anything else besides outlook? | 15:58 |
| Fevix | Can anyone assist me? A recent update caused my machine to stop recognizing any hardware. | 15:59 |

| TJ- | adsc: If you were talking about an Outlook KVM switch you might make a little more sense, but as it is... ! | 15:59 |
| adsc | HellTiger: i don't know what Ubuntu is, I just heard it's good...and outlook is simply the best program...everyone I know uses it | 15:59 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Review the log-files "/var/log/kern.log" and "/var/log/syslog" in particular | 15:59 |
| Fevix | TJ-: Will do. | 16:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | adsc: are you reffering to microsoft outlook? | 16:00 |
| DJones | adsc: You are talking about Outlook the email client? | 16:00 |
| HellTiger | adsc: compare both articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Outlook http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 | 16:00 |
| kingfisher64 | according to http://fosshelp.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/how-to-install-gnome-3-on-ubuntu-1310.html tachyons gnome 3.10 breaks unity. I'm still going to install as it looks like i'd prefer it. Did you not experience anything breaking? | 16:00 |
| adsc | HellTiger: yeah, if you can really operate systems in Ubuntu, I am very interested | 16:00 |
| chep | hello there | 16:00 |
| adsc | DJones: yeah, I guess, but outlook is so much more | 16:01 |
| HellTiger | well i bet its microsoft windows what you mean adsc. | 16:01 |
| adsc | outlook is in a windows, yes | 16:01 |
| DJones | adsc: From that perspective, Ubuntu is like Windows, they're both operating systems that you would run an email client on top of | 16:02 |
| adsc | but i don't want Ubuntu to be in another windows, it should be in the same window as outlook | 16:02 |
| === xxbrb is now known as xx | ||
| adsc | what do you mean like windows? I don't need more windows | 16:02 |

| ruth | Guys, will "sudo apt-get remove pipelight" erase all commands I put in the terminal for it? I tried to get netflix and it runs but is quite choppy sometimes, so I decided to erase it. Then, I tried it a few more times and then tried to erase it again being it was still choppy. Then.... I saw the pipelight for silverlight in the software center and downloaded and, still the netflix is choppy. What should I do? | 16:02 |
| Fevix | I do not know what I'm looking at here. I'm transferring the two files mentioned to a flash drive and will upload them to my dropbox to see if any of you can help. | 16:03 |
| peasant65 | please can someone help me ?... | 16:04 |
| adsc | DJones: okay, thanks. A pity, I guess. Also, I don't understand what use Ubuntu is, then, if it doesn't work in outlook...who doesn't use Outlook? | 16:04 |

| peasant65 | HellTiger yes i've looked at it, and there is a command to inflate and place the flash player in the right dir | 16:06 |
| peasant65 | only i've installed ampache somewhere else | 16:06 |
| HellTiger | adsc: this is getting absurd. you confuse the name of a email client with a operating system. ask a friend how both software works. | 16:06 |

| v0lksman | hitsujiTMO: so I purged but same error...how do I fix the packages labeled as "Broken" | 16:07 |
| peasant65 | no way someone is gonna help me | 16:08 |
| peasant65 | sad | 16:08 |
| kenneth___ | use dd to make a bootable USB drive wirks the best | 16:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | v0lksman: can you paste the link to the error again | 16:08 |
| v0lksman | basically the same error as this http://askubuntu.com/questions/360293/could-not-calculate-the-upgrade-what-happened | 16:09 |
| v0lksman | hitsujiTMO: ^ | 16:09 |
| kenneth___ | her is link on how to make a usb https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Flash_Installation_Media | 16:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | v0lksman: and whats the exact command you're give? | 16:10 |
| v0lksman | hitsujiTMO: I'm just running the Software Updater GUI | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | v0lksman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure step 5 | 16:10 |
| Fevix | Is there a command to scan for hardware on the system, and start using it? | 16:10 |
| jhutchins | peasant65: Generally, if you have flash installed on your system, programs that need to play flash content can access it via the standard path or the usual Firefox plugin directory. | 16:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | v0lksman: can you tell me which package is being marked as broken? | 16:11 |
| jhutchins | peasant65: However, if you go installing packages from outside of Ubuntu, people in Ubuntu won't know how to help you. | 16:11 |
| peasant65 | jhutchins it's not a problem with the flash player itself, ampache just doesnt list it as a play option | 16:11 |
| v0lksman | hitsujiTMO: lots of xserver-xorg packages...I had the xorg-edgers repo enabled | 16:11 |
| peasant65 | jhutchins well... ampaches irc is kinda dead | 16:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | v0lksman: can you pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg | 16:12 |
| jhutchins | peasant65: That is not surprising. You will probably have to use their mailing lists or forums instead. | 16:12 |
| kenneth___ | How do I uninstall Xserver and install DirectX11 on ubuntu ? | 16:12 |

| peasant65 | Fevix lol yup | 16:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: what type of hardware? | 16:14 |
| Fevix | ALL | 16:14 |
| Fevix | At least, anything that's not hardwired to the laptop | 16:14 |
| Fevix | We use external devices because the screen is shattered, and it feels clumsy to be using the laptop's keyboard and touchpad with the external monitor | 16:15 |
| Fevix | Additionally, the wireless adaptor isn't working. | 16:15 |
| kenneth___ | On could fart in here and blame it on peasant65 | 16:15 |
| Rualmoneyman | <kenneth___> what is dd ? | 16:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: usually you'd need to modprobe the driver or add a udev rule if its not something basic like a keyboard or monitor | 16:16 |
| kenneth___ | Rualmoneyman https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Flash_Installation_Media | 16:16 |
| Fevix | Walk me through this? I literally started using Ubuntu this morning. | 16:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: first. what type of hardware is it? | 16:16 |
| Fevix | Define type. It's an external mouse, an external keyboard, an external monitor, and an internal wireless adaptor | 16:17 |
| Fevix | Mouse and keyboard are USB, monitor is VGA | 16:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: ok, everything bar the wifi adaper should work immediately. are they not? | 16:18 |
| Fevix | I can give brands and models if you need them | 16:18 |
| Fevix | THey are not. | 16:18 |
| Fevix | ONly the internal keyboard and touchpad are working. | 16:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: ok. have you wired internet access? | 16:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: from the laptop that is | 16:18 |
| Fevix | I do not, but I could move the entire setup into the living room with the router for it, but then I'd have to run back and forth from here to there (WIlling to do this) | 16:19 |
| kenneth___ | Isn't wireless still turned off by default after install | 16:19 |
| Fevix | kenneth___: It was working out of the box after I installed originally | 16:19 |
| kenneth___ | Oh ok | 16:19 |
| tim` | are there not linux-tools-common packages to match up with kernel-ppa kernel images like 3.13-rc8? | 16:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: it would be much easier with internet access to be honest | 16:20 |

| Fevix | I have plugged the ethernet cable into the computer's port, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Will the wifi icon in the top right change when ethernet is active? | 16:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: yes it should. do you get any output from the command: lsusb | 16:25 |
| Fevix | the command lists the keyboard and mouse, but they are still non-functional | 16:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: what version of ubuntu is this? that suggests maybe an xorg issue. | 16:26 |
| Fevix | 13.10 | 16:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | !text | Fevix can you try this: | 16:27 |
| ubottu | Fevix can you try this:: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 16:27 |
| kenneth___ | it tells the the boot loder to use software for the bios hand off of devices during boot | 16:27 |
| TJ- | Fevix: disconnect the mouse, and try. It is causing constant errors on the USB hub | 16:27 |

| DF3D2 | I know this is not *ideal* but if I clone an install from and INTEL motherboard to an AMD motherboard -- will ubuntu load the necessary drivers on boot usually? | 16:29 |
| DF3D2 | I have something setup I can't seem to get setup again | 16:29 |
| kenneth___ | It fixes allot of stuff like what you saying give it a try it wont do any harm | 16:29 |
| Fevix | too much all at once. ONe at a time, responding: TJ-: Unplugging the mouse did not do anything, should I reboot it? | 16:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | DF3D2: ubuntu should run | 16:29 |
| Fevix | hitsujiTMO: I'll try that next. | 16:29 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Yes, with a reboot .. the logs are full of USB resets of that mouse | 16:29 |

| DF3D2 | TJ-, even if im going to use the same video cards? | 16:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | ahhh cool | 16:31 |
| TJ- | DF3D2: No, if the hardware is the same, then it'll be OK | 16:31 |
| DF3D2 | TJ-, that is what I have setup that I just *cannot* seem to get to work agian -- amd proprietary drivers for a coin mining machine | 16:31 |
| jhutchins | !clone | 16:32 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 16:32 |
| TJ- | DF3D2: If the software ties itself to a particular PCI bus ID (a silly thing to do, but you know programmers!) then that could fail it... since in the new system the PCI bus ID could well be different | 16:32 |
| Fevix | negative, TJ- , keyboard, monitor, and net card still non-functional without mouse. | 16:32 |
| DF3D2 | TJ-, true I could hand edit xorg in that case though then | 16:33 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Can you post the new kern.log? Let's see if we can identify anything else. | 16:33 |
| DF3D2 | TJ-, or use aticonfig --adapter=all --initial | 16:33 |
| Fevix | Will do, back in a bit | 16:33 |
| TJ- | Fevix: also - are the devices plugged into the laptop itself, or an external hub? | 16:33 |
| Fevix | TJ-: Only one USB port on the laptop still functions. A USB hub is required. | 16:35 |
| Fevix | It's worked with the hub in the past, but when I applied the updates (I had to use the commands rather than the GUI), it all broke. | 16:35 |
| Fevix | command was: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:35 |
| Fevix | new kern.log: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23659259/ubuntu/kern2.log | 16:36 |
| TJ- | Fevix: OK, now we're getting to it! Try connecting a single device directly to the laptop and see if that device works. If it doesn't it'd point to that port having failed too | 16:36 |
| kingfisher64 | okay that didn't work too well. Installed gnome and it's broken unity. Any suggestions on what to do to get both of these working side by sie? | 16:37 |
| DF3D2 | TJ-, is that what you meant about pci- id's ? as long as I make sure they are correct in xorg.conf I should be good right? | 16:37 |
| Fevix | tj-: That still only explains keyboard and mouse failing, not the VGA port and the network adaptor (Ethernet port, too, now.) | 16:37 |
| === fire is now known as fire_ | ||
| TJ- | Fevix: the log was clean that time, the only USB-related warning is that /dev/sdb1 needs an fsck since it was unmounted unclean | 16:37 |

| TJ- | Fevix: The VGA port may be down to the fact the the VESAFB driver is loading. Can you pastebin the results of "lspci -nnk && lsusb && lsusb -t" please? | 16:38 |

| ActionParsnip | kingfisher64: there is the one we support here which is from the ubuntu repos, there is one from the PPA you have added which is not supported here | 16:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | aFeijo: you're using the literal quotes ' not " | 16:53 |
| aFeijo | omg | 16:53 |
| * aFeijo dumb | 16:53 | |
| aFeijo | testing | 16:53 |
| aFeijo | yep | 16:53 |
| FloodBot1 | aFeijo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:53 |
| aFeijo | thanks hitsujiTMO | 16:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | aFeijo: np | 16:53 |
| aFeijo | FloodBot1, I didt :p | 16:53 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Is the external USB hub self-powered? | 16:53 |
| kingfisher64 | oh no, I only wanted to install the supported gnome. What would you suggest I do to remove this unsupported version ActionParsnip ? | 16:53 |
| Fevix | If you mean does it take batteries or anything, no. | 16:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | !ppa-purge | kingfisher64 | 16:54 |
| ubottu | kingfisher64: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 16:54 |
| kingfisher64 | i take it version gnome 3.10 breaks unity | 16:54 |
| TJ- | Fevix: No, I mean, does it have its own power supply rather than drawing power from the PC's port? | 16:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kingfisher64: install ppa-purge and you can roll back. I am not sure if it changes your configs any so results after may not be as expected | 16:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kingfisher64: its a PPA, so who knows what it has done | 16:54 |
| Never | ciao | 16:55 |
| Fevix | No. | 16:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | !list > Never | 16:55 |

| demophobia | how do i create a new folder in /home where the user accounts are stored? it's greyed out | 16:57 |
| kingfisher64 | excuse the newbieness! | 16:57 |
| demophobia | I want to create a Music folder accessible to all users | 16:57 |
| TJ- | Fevix: It could well be that for some reason the power draw is interfering. The most power-hungry device would seem to be the USB storage, so as a test of this possibility I'd recommend unplugging the hub from the PC, disconnect the storage device leaving the keyboard/mouse device connected, and reconnect the hub to the PC... *as* you do that, in a terminal monitor the log-file with "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" | 16:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | kingfisher64: yessum | 16:58 |
| lanodan | Did someone knows here how to force uninstall a package ? | 16:58 |
| TJ- | Fevix: You should see all the USB devices recognised and configured as input devices | 16:58 |
| Fevix | TJ-: I only plug the storage device in when I'm making logs, so that I can transfer them to this computer and upload them. | 16:58 |
| aFeijo | hitsujiTMO, last question. Note that I have this $(__git_ps1 " [%s]"), now it dont work, as I'm using double quote, I try changing to single quote and \", nothing worked | 16:58 |
| Fevix | The device is unplugged the rest of the time. | 16:59 |
| TJ- | demophobia: The best way to do that would be "sudo mkdir /home/all && sudo chown root:users /home/all && sudo chmod g+rwx /home/all" | 16:59 |
| Fevix | (It's sitting on the desk in front of me as I type this) | 16:59 |
| TJ- | demophobia: And then create your folders under "/home/all/" | 16:59 |
| demophobia | TJ-, does that create a folder in /home called "all"? | 16:59 |
| demophobia | thank you | 17:00 |
| Munster | G'day | 17:00 |
| TJ- | Fevix: The only thing I can think is that the "usbhid" driver isn't being loaded. Try "sudo modprobe usbhid" | 17:00 |
| demophobia | TJ-, i did that and it created a folder but i still cannot create a new folder in 'all' using the browser gui | 17:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | aFeijo: try escaping the $: \$(blah blah) | 17:01 |
| Fevix | FATTAL: MOdule usbhid not found | 17:01 |
| demophobia | i need to be able to operate using the operating system rather than only terminal | 17:01 |
| TJ- | demophobia: Is your user a member of group 'users' ? Check with "groups" ... that will list all system groups you are a member of | 17:01 |
| demophobia | when i right click to create a new folder it's still greyed out | 17:01 |
| demophobia | oh | 17:01 |
| aFeijo | hitsujiTMO, that did :) | 17:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | aFeijo: try escaping the and then escape the quotes too actually | 17:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | aFeijo: cool | 17:02 |
| aFeijo | hitsujiTMO, it worked with single quotes | 17:02 |
| demophobia | 'users' is not listed there | 17:02 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Hmmm, that's helpful! | 17:02 |
| Rualmoneyman | Im trying to install Ubuntu 12.04.03 using Usb but everytime i ps go through all the steps it resets my computer. | 17:02 |

| kingfisher64 | i've installed 2 ppa's. ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-next, ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging hitsujiTMO. so I would need to be in unity to remove these packages? | 17:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | kingfisher64: no, just purge away | 17:04 |
| kingfisher64 | i'm logged right now into gnome 3 which I will be purging | 17:04 |
| kingfisher64 | apologies for the many questions | 17:05 |
| TJ- | demophobia: OK, looks like you aren't... check the system does has that group with "getent group users". If it does, then you'll need to do "sudo adduser $USER users" and *then* you'll need to log-out and log-in again for the change to be in effect | 17:05 |
| robaczki | hi | 17:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | kingfisher64: you should be able to purge away without an issue. your xsession may restart | 17:05 |
| demophobia | ok ty | 17:06 |
| TJ- | Fevix: I noticed that the vesafv module is reported to fail the signing check... together with the other issues, I suspect some file-system corruption | 17:06 |
| kingfisher64 | ok i'll give that a go now hitsujiTMO. thank you. | 17:06 |
| demophobia | Is there really not an easier way to share Rhythmbox music library with all users? ... | 17:06 |
| sk1special | so..anyone know why none of the effects im choosing in ccsm are activating/working? | 17:08 |
| Fevix | TJ-: That's what more or less forced us into Ubuntu in the first place (It used to be a Win7 machine, but started to no longer boot, so I had the idea to install Linux rather than try to scrounge around for our WIn7 install disk) | 17:08 |
| sk1special | or better channel to ask. | 17:08 |
| TJ- | Fevix: The modules should be in "/lib/modules/`uname -r`\" and its sub-dirs. Unless the system ran out of space, missing and damaged files points to corruption. You could do "du -h" to check space | 17:08 |
| Fevix | Back in a min with redults of du -h | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | df -h | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ;) | 17:09 |
| TJ- | Fevix: No sign of hard disk errors in the logs that I noticed | 17:09 |
| kingfisher64 | finally, I installed a few apps following this http://fosshelp.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/how-to-install-gnome-3-on-ubuntu-1310.html tutorial. Should I unintall those apps first, remove the 2 ppa's, reboot then login to unity and all should be fixed hitsujiTMO | 17:09 |
| demophobia | Fevix, this desktop is also now using ubuntu 12.04 because i couldn't find the vista home premium windows disk after the registry got corrupted | 17:09 |
| TJ- | Fevix: *** "df -h" **** | 17:09 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: Thanks :) | 17:09 |
| rustuptwist1 | weird problems with installing ubuntu 12.04.03 on my kids laptops. | 17:09 |
| demophobia | TJ-, thanks, i'll work on this more later i think | 17:10 |
| johan_ | geek242 | 17:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | kingfisher64: its not 100% necessary, but you could remove gdm to get back to lightdm | 17:10 |
| rustuptwist1 | we get to the install screen, choose install ubuntu inside/alongside windows then the machine reboots as if it needs to for the install, but yet doesnt install | 17:10 |
| TJ- | demophobia: I've always had a "/home/all/" for such things, I also mount network shares there too. Makes it simple to know where to go for any all-user resources | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rustuptwist1: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 17:11 |
| Fevix | du -h spat out a list of a bunch of files and their sizes, but right clicking on Computer and clicking properties tells me I have 200-something GB free | 17:11 |
| TJ- | Fevix: *** "df -h" **** sorry, I mistyped | 17:11 |
| TJ- | Fevix: It'll tell you the space used and free on each mounted file-system | 17:11 |
| rustuptwist1 | ActionParsnip: I did not. but it is the same one the installed on my sons hp pavilion dv2000 the night before | 17:12 |
| kingfisher64 | the process I was going to do was 1) sudo apt-get remove gnome-documents gnome-contacts epiphany-browser gnome-boxes gnome-shell-extensions gnome-tweak-tool bijiben gnome-clocks. 2) purge ppa's 3) sudo apt-get remove gdm. hitsujiTMO. If that's okay i'll get going now. | 17:12 |
| TJ- | Fevix: If you see anything with 5% or less free, that'd be a concern | 17:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rustuptwist1: you can check the CD for defects too, also test the RAM using the CD as well | 17:12 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist1: Is that a DVD or a USB? If DVD, it might simply need a clean | 17:13 |
| Fevix | highest use% is 2%, which is the main hard drive | 17:13 |
| Fevix | All others are 1% or 0% | 17:13 |
| rustuptwist1 | ActionParsnip: the USB seemed to do the same thing. It was a DVD. I will check the disc right now, brb | 17:13 |
| TJ- | Fevix: OK, so not that... looks more like corruption when the files were installed | 17:13 |
| Fevix | Is there a way I can download the proper files to my USB drive and install them that way? | 17:14 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Can you connect via an Ethernet cable temporarily, then you could force-reinstall the suspect files | 17:14 |
| Fevix | I'm unable to connect via ethernet. The cable's been plugged in since boot, and there's been no connection | 17:15 |
| Fevix | (Yes, plugged in to modem as well) | 17:15 |
| TJ- | Fevix: hang on, I've had an idea. I'll check on a 13.10 system here what the unique MD5 hashes of the package are, and you can compare them with those on that PC. If they match, you'll be safe to reinstall from the PC's local cache | 17:15 |
| sk1special | is there a way to Make my video card work with unity 3d? | 17:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | kingfisher64: dont remove 1) just remove gdm | 17:16 |
| Fevix | HOw can I get the hashes while you're working on that? | 17:16 |
| Xuisce1 | hi | 17:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: what card it ir? | 17:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | is it* | 17:16 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Check if the package exists: "ls /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic_3.11.0-15.23_amd64.deb" | 17:16 |
| rustuptwist1 | ActionParsnip: there was a smudge but nothing much else on the disk | 17:16 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Is that system 32-bit, I just thought I didn't notice 64-bit indications | 17:17 |
| TJ- | Fevix: It is, from reading the kern.log, so my hashes won't help. | 17:18 |
| TJ- | Anyone here running 13.10 32-bit and can generate some MD5 sums for us? | 17:18 |
| rustuptwist1 | ActionParsnip: I am using the 12.04.03 desktop AMD 64 bit disk. Do you think there is a better option than that? | 17:18 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, ah..idk? :] whatever integrated thing this old acer came with? :] i just ran /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p and it says no. | 17:19 |
| Fevix | TJ-: Yeah, I was typing it in when I ran into the amd64 and that set off flags. | 17:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: if it says no then no | 17:19 |
| Fevix | I'd be running 64 bit if I had more than 2GB ram for it | 17:19 |
| TJ- | Fevix: try this: "ls /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic_3.11.0-15.23*.deb" | 17:20 |
| Xuisce1 | hm | 17:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: can you pastebin the output of: lspci | grep VGA | 17:20 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Then, if there is one get the hash with "md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic_3.11.0-15.23*.deb" | 17:20 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6809417/ | 17:21 |
| Xuisce1 | hm | 17:21 |
| Fevix | It spits out in red, the same thing, but with "i386" where the * is | 17:21 |
| Greenstar | hi :) | 17:21 |
| Fevix | I ran the md5sum, my sister's Skyping me the result. | 17:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: erm, you're gonna have trouble even getting the xserver to run on that | 17:22 |
| TJ- | Fevix: This is what is expected: MD5sum: eec78a8e79102704d61e1cd376c2b8ab | 17:23 |
| Fevix | First and last 3 match what I can remember | 17:23 |
| Fevix | Sums match | 17:23 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, yeah... i had to do..i dont remember. xforcevesa? and.. nomodeset? or something to get it installed. | 17:23 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Looks like the local package is good then, so you can go ahead with a reinstall "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.11.0-15-generic" | 17:23 |
| TJ- | Fevix: and watch for any errors :) | 17:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: i'm surprised you even got it to install | 17:24 |
| TJ- | Fevix: in a 2nd terminal let's check the -extras package too, because that'll need reinstalling as well | 17:24 |
| rustuptwist1 | Attempted to boot/install from 12.04.03 DVD just now. Went to a black screen then laptop ejected the disc. What gives | 17:24 |
| TJ- | Fevix: "md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-extra-3.11.0-15-generic_3.11.0-15.23_i386.deb" | 17:25 |
| demophobia | TJ-, makes sense | 17:25 |
| TJ- | Fevix: MD5sum: eb08b472b7195cb1cb154b52f9fc5c98 | 17:25 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, it took awhile and a lot of tries and disbaling things.. but new question since im in pos land. u know why my wireless network wont connect unless i find it under hidden networks? | 17:25 |
| Fevix | "Version 'generic' for "linux-image-(Stuff)" not found" | 17:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: whats the output of: lspci -nn | grep Network | 17:26 |
| TJ- | Fevix: hmm! | 17:26 |
| kenneth___ | what should I use dd or rsync, or something else, to mirror/clone an entire repository to be stored locally and hosted locally at a later time? | 17:26 |
| Fevix | Nevermind | 17:26 |
| Fevix | I did "Blahblah =generid rather than -generic | 17:27 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6809465/ | 17:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | kenneth___: rsync | 17:27 |
| TJ- | Fevix: *phew :) | 17:27 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, it works fine, but it doesnt show my network normally. when i search for it under hidden it does. but its not hidden. | 17:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: you'll prob just need to switch drivers https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BroadcomSTA(Wireless) | 17:27 |
| TJ- | kenneth___: If it is an Ubuntu repository, use the apt tools that are designed to create local mirrors | 17:28 |
| rustuptwist1 | when attemtpting USB install (using 12.0.4.03 iso) basically similar events, laptop restarts but does not install. HELP | 17:28 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, ah thats where i installed the driver for it from. the proprietary didnt work. and they only have one for the model# | 17:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: then try another. there's usually more than one that works with a single device | 17:29 |
| Fevix | Extras MD5 checked out, reinstalling now. | 17:30 |
| TJ- | Fevix: To see if that has fixed the missing usbhid.ko module, you can try "modinfo usbhid" | 17:32 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, ah okay. haha one more. how about why my swap(cryptswap) isnt working. tried http://tinyurl.com/ln7myoa , but i know its not working even tho it said succesful/shows the space. because no space is used and system monitor stays at 0 for swap | 17:32 |
| rustuptwist1 | maybe this compaq is set up not to allow a dual/install. is that possible? | 17:32 |

| TJ- | Fevix: That's got your input devices... do a reboot | 17:36 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, even when i do a bunch of stuff tho it never shows as being used? and it still shows the dev/mapper/cryptswap1 not present or not ready thing at startup (which is why i tried that one page atfirst) | 17:36 |
| Fevix | Thanks! NOw the rest can be done on the much more comfortable keyboard and mouse, if there's more to be done! | 17:37 |

| TJ- | Fevix: You're welcome... that was a teaser to figure out | 17:40 |
| Angron | Is there a difference between the ~ /.local & ~ /local? Or its different folder names? | 17:41 |
| TJ- | Fevix: As I said, be wary of other corruption in programs and data | 17:41 |
| SN3 | can some one unban me from ubuntu-offtopic? | 17:42 |
| Fevix | Well there weren't many programs to begin with. THis install is only a few hours old. | 17:42 |
| Fevix | Less than an hour old when I originally came in | 17:42 |
| vader_ | so guys any ideas on my thing ? | 17:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | SN3: #ubuntu-ops | 17:43 |
| TJ- | Fevix: OK... well if anything shows up, try to identify the package the program belongs in using "dpkg-query -S $NAME_OF_FILE" which will give you the package name to reinstall | 17:43 |
| Fevix | Any other self-troubleshooting tips/commands? | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vader_: 13.04 is dead in less than a week. | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vader_: I suggest you upgrade to Saucy soon | 17:46 |
| Fevix | ... uh oh. NOw there's a window that simply says "System program problem detected". The only options I have are cancel and report problem. | 17:47 |
| Fevix | Attempting to report leads to another window: "Sorry, Ubuntu 13.10 has experienced an internal error". Clicking the more details button tells me the executable path is "sbin/wpa_supplicant". | 17:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: thats part of the wifi stack. | 17:49 |
| Fevix | My wireless internet uses WEP, not WPA. | 17:50 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Might I suggest, for peace of mind, a full reinstall of the entire OS? I think you'd be better off | 17:50 |
| Fevix | TJ-: Point me to something I can use a USB stick for? | 17:50 |
| Fevix | THis install was done with Linux Live, and this is the second time I've had to reinstall. | 17:51 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Was there corruption the 1st time ? | 17:51 |
| TJ- | Fevix: I'm wondering if the PC itself needs attention at the hardware level ... disk interface cables, fans (overheating issues), and so on | 17:52 |
| Fevix | Not this kind. This time was better. Last time, when I tried to apply the update, it said that there was a programming error in the apt-daemon or something like that | 17:52 |
| Fevix | After a reboot, the computer simply said "Error: Attempt to read or write outside HD-0" or something, and said press any key to continue, but it locked up at that point | 17:53 |
| TJ- | Fevix: I suspect that PC has bad RAM modules; start from the install ISO image and run memtest86+ | 17:53 |
| sk1special | so one more. how do i disconnect from the internet but stay on the network? | 17:54 |
| TJ- | Fevix: One of my servers got hit that way last week, memtest86 saved me a lot of hair-pulling :) | 17:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: disable the default gateway | 17:54 |
| Fevix | Can it be run without a reboot? I... sorta just reformatted the USB stick in preparation for another installer. | 17:54 |
| Joel | when I call a dput to put my package up in my ppa, it tells me it already exists, but I have no ability to see the package from the launchpad website, thoughts on what to do next? I never received an email the first go around, I believe because I didn't have my gpg key up in launchpad | 17:55 |
| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, just change it to something random? and thatll keep me on my local network? | 17:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Fevix: you need to be in a minimal environment for it to work propperly | 17:56 |
| TJ- | Fevix: It has to be run at boot-time... it can be installed to boot from hard disk though... "sudo apt-get install memtest86+" ... It will add itself to the GRUB boot menu, which you can get to at boot-time by holding down Shift key as the system starts *immediately* after the BIOS POST | 17:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: try: sudo ip route del 0/0 | 17:56 |
| Joel | I guess it looks like I should bump the package number and re-upload | 17:56 |
| TJ- | Fevix: That assumes possible memory errors don't corrupt memtest :) | 17:56 |
| TJ- | Joel: no key would do it, yes. You'll need bump the version | 17:57 |
| Joel | TJ-: thanks. | 17:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | sk1special: or: sudo ip route del default | 17:57 |

| sk1special | hitsujiTMO, that worked..but i probably shouldve asked what command cuts it back on before i tried it. | 18:02 |
| ezra-s | gregf_, you dont really need that module, disable it in your apache conf | 18:03 |
| gregf_ | apache does not start :(. it was , until i installed that php version | 18:03 |
| impossible | was hexchat ever in the soft. center? | 18:03 |
| impossible | its not there since like 12.04 or something | 18:03 |
| ezra-s | gregf_, php has nothing to do with access_compat afaik | 18:03 |
| TJ- | Fevix: Yes, reboot and run it from GRUB | 18:03 |
| bazhang | impossible, in a PPA | 18:03 |
| gregf_ | ezra-s: well i dont know what its for, but would disabling it not break php :/ | 18:03 |
| impossible | before the ppa | 18:04 |
| ezra-s | gregf_, access_compat is to allow the 2.2 Order deny,allow Allow from all directives which are deprecated in 2.4 | 18:04 |
| gregf_ | let me try, cuz after installing php 5 as: sudo apt-get -t precise install php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 | 18:04 |
| ezra-s | so there is no need to use that module any more | 18:04 |
| gregf_ | i get that error | 18:04 |
| gregf_ | ezra-s: ah - ok | 18:04 |
| ezra-s | the error you show is only apache2 start error due to faulty syntax | 18:04 |
| Fevix | It said it was loading GRUB, but then it's loading the normal thing? | 18:05 |

| sh0t | hi guys i am really having big problems with this installation of ubuntu. So in my laptop there was Windows 8. I burned an iso of ubuntu 13.10 and i installed it giving it half of the space. The problem is that i can't now boot ubuntu it directly boots windows 8. I disabled secure boot of UEFI but still it doesn't show the grub menu... | 19:23 |
| ffledgling | It's huge thing with a proper bunch of make files, using cmake and make | 19:23 |
| genii | ffledgling: What is the main app you are trying to build? | 19:24 |

| TJ- | sh0t: That sounds like a UEFI NVRAM issue; When the PC starts and you enter UEFI set-up, on the Boot menu, is there an "Ubuntu" or "Linux" or "GRUB" entry? It is possible that is missing | 19:25 |
| Dureiken | Hi there :) could someone help me to install ubuntu on USB key please ? I tried 10 without success. Thanks a lot | 19:25 |
| sh0t | TJ-, hi! I don't understand the question in the bios i disabled the secure boot option (there is no way to disable UEFI in general), Then I restart the pc and still grub doesn't appear but windows 8 is executed instead. | 19:27 |
| TJ- | Dureiken: You can install to a USB storage device exactly the same way you'd install to hard disk, just using a different target device and ensuring that it also installs GRUB to the USB device, not the hard disk | 19:27 |
| Dureiken | I did it | 19:27 |

| Dureiken | but grub is not correctly installed | 19:27 |
| Dureiken | I did repairgrub but same, initramfs error after boot | 19:27 |
| TJ- | sh0t: UEFI maintains a menu of boot options in its internal Non Volatile RAM. It sounds as if the entry that the Ubuntu installer tried to add there was rejected and is missing. Enter the UEFI set-up and examine the boot menu options... if you don't see an Ubuntu/Linux option that confirms my suggestion, and you'll need to manually add the entry. | 19:28 |
| Dureiken | coming back | 19:29 |
| TJ- | Dureiken: Do you mean it drops to a shell prompt during the initrd stage, or that the initrd fails to load? | 19:29 |
| Dureiken | fails to load | 19:29 |
| Dureiken | I have UEFI boot too | 19:29 |
| Dureiken | but I boot on USB no UEFI | 19:29 |
| Dureiken | could it come from that ? | 19:29 |
| TJ- | Dureiken: You can get the GRUB menu by holding down Shift? | 19:29 |
| Dureiken | yes | 19:29 |
| Dureiken | I can boot | 19:30 |
| Dureiken | modprobe : FATAL could not load /lib/modules/3.2.0-52-generic/modules.dep : no such file or directory | 19:30 |
| Dureiken | I come back | 19:30 |
| TJ- | Dureiken: OK ... and then, when you choose the Ubuntu option, do you see on-screen "Loading Linux.." followed by "Loading initrd..." ? | 19:30 |
| sh0t | TJ-, should I access the UEFI set-up from the bios or from Windows 8 (cause i think it's somehow possible...maybe i am wrong)... | 19:30 |
| TJ- | sh0t: From the UEFI firmware at boot-time | 19:30 |

| ffledgling | genii, ideas? | 19:32 |
| ffledgling | Other than Upgrading to 13.10 | 19:32 |
| genii | ffledgling: I would just try something like: make -L/path/to/source for the source code you got | 19:34 |
| sh0t | TJ-, should have i downloaded a particualr version of Ubuntu and not the normal one? | 19:35 |
| ffledgling | genii, where -L/path/to/source is the path for the libpugixml code? | 19:35 |
| genii | ffledgling: Yes, exactly | 19:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | bkfitz: how many virtual machines? what sizes virtual drives? what size ssds | 19:35 |
| ffledgling | Okay, let me try | 19:35 |
| TJ- | sh0t: No, you've installed from the correct media. The problem is - if the "Ubuntu" menu item is missing, is that you either started the install media in legacy BIOS mode, or, the UEFI firmware has a bug and didn't add the menu item when Ubuntu asked it to | 19:36 |
| Joel | TJ-: turns out I'm trying to package up something that uses ant to build, know of any tutorials that talk about changes to the rules file to do this? | 19:36 |

| bkfitz | 2x256 ssds - 2-3 vms | 19:37 |
| Joel | TJ-: good idea, thanks. | 19:37 |
| bkfitz | hitsujiTMO, was thinking / and /boot on #1 and /home on #2 where I can keep the vmis, but then thought maybe the virtualbox software itself should be put on #2 as well??? | 19:38 |

| Tnk1 | it was merely a hard reboot which left it in bad state | 20:23 |

| Intensity | Hi. I'm having great difficulty determining whether addr2line/catchsegv are really working as intended (printing line numbers). I compile a program with gcc -g3, trigger a SEGV, and then I see a backtrace. However, I don't see line nubmers, and manually running addr2line gives ??'s. Is there something I'm missing?

| dmikalova | Anyone know if Ubuntu JeOS is covered by LTS? https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html | 20:54 |
| k1l | dmikalova: jeos is deprecated, iirc | 20:54 |
| lAB | ok | 20:54 |
| dmikalova | k1l: is there any equivalent thing to JeOS? | 20:55 |
| k1l | dmikalova: i think its included in the server isntall | 20:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: sudo blkid | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 20:55 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6810553/ | 20:56 |
| bekks | dmikalova: VirtualBox, and various frontends to kvm can be installed. | 20:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | dmikalova: server minimal or a debootstrap install | 20:56 |
| k1l | tnk: like i said before. cable of the sda disk. its spamming the system | 20:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | dmikalova: or a minimal install from mini.iso | 20:56 |
| k1l | tnk: after that you will be booting just fine (maybe need to skip mmount of sda on boot) | 20:57 |
| tnk | k1l, it's always spamming the system. it never stopped anything before. that's not the problem. sda5 is just a media hd which can be ignored. | 20:57 |
| k1l | tnk: it is the problem | 20:57 |
| EminentDomain | ok.. i'm having issues with installing virtualbox in ubuntu 12.04 | 20:57 |
| k1l | tnk: again: cable that off | 20:57 |
| dmikalova | This page https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html implies that a minimal install has minimal packages, but a JeOS install also has kernel optimizations | 20:57 |
| tnk | I can't open the comp - how do I just note it not to load? | 20:57 |
| k1l | tnk: sda ist the meida disk. there is no sda5. you are talking about partitions. i talk about disks | 20:58 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, do you have alternative idea/solution? the sdb is the root and the var | 20:58 |
| k1l | *sigh* | 20:58 |
| EminentDomain | i get to this step: root@ns4009334:~# wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbo x.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 20:58 |
| EminentDomain | gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. | 20:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: sda is being unused and does need to be removed. | 20:58 |
| jhutchins | !virtualbox | 20:59 |
| ubottu | Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 20:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: *not being used | 20:59 |
| jhutchins | EminentDomain: We can only support it as installed from the Ubuntu repositories. | 20:59 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, if sdb is root, how can i get root to mount so i can login to system via gui? | 20:59 |
| k1l | dmikalova: did you read the wiki page you listed? "its included as minimal install into the server iso" | 20:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: where exactly is the failure happening? | 21:00 |
| EminentDomain | jhutchins: oh is it in the Repos? | 21:00 |
| mobiesoba | Yay | 21:00 |
| EminentDomain | if so what do I do to install it | 21:00 |
| EminentDomain | apt-get install VirtualBox-4.3 doesnt work | 21:01 |
| dmikalova | k1l: I'm not seeing your quote, but I did read "While installing from the Server Edition ISO (pressing F4 on the first screen will allow you to pick "Minimal installation", which is the package selection equivalent to JeOS)." and after that "JeOS is a specialized installation of Ubuntu Server Edition with a tuned kernel" | 21:01 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, in boot process, ubuntu is selected, some lines of checks run, and then says can't mount / filesystem, and drops me to tty1 bash.. where i can login nominally to /home and then every command produces error saying can't find sbin env or bash | 21:01 |
| EminentDomain | i'm also trying to get the phpvirtualbox webmin page | 21:01 |
| jhutchins | EminentDomain: apt-get install virtualbox - what could be simpler? | 21:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: ok. shut down. remove the cable for sda. boot up again and see if you get the same issue. Not seeing any immediate reason for a boot and those errors are drowning out the dmesg so its difficult to sift thru to find the cause | 21:03 |
| k1l | dmikalova: again: it was a single install iso and is (since 8.10) included into the minimal install | 21:03 |
| k1l | dmikalova: like: they tuned the minimal install so that jeos is no more needed | 21:04 |
| EminentDomain | jhutchins: thanks; I have no clue why every single howto i've found is telling me to install it from the other repo | 21:04 |
| k1l | dmikalova: dont hang yourself because someone said "tuned" there. | 21:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: if sda has a bootstrap it could be pointing to the wrong place | 21:04 |
| dmikalova | k1l: Thanks, that's what I was looking for. If I'm looking for an optimized kernel I don't want to just assume that they didn't mean what they said. | 21:05 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, sda has the boot partition which does point to the root partition | 21:06 |
| tnk | i see that in the gparted of sda1 | 21:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | dmikalova: there is no optimised virtual kernel anymore. you'd need to build you're own | 21:06 |
| dmikalova | hitsujiTMO: in which case, I would use vmbuilder, right? Is that going to be in 14.04 and if I build my own will that be covered by LTS? | 21:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: according to your fstab you don't have a seperate boot. that could be an old boot | 21:08 |
| === mitch is now known as Guest7582 | ||
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, ok, if it's an old boot, is the new boot just a part of the root on sdb? | 21:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | dmikalova: no thats not going to build a kernel. you'd have to configure the kernel yourself, either from linux-source or from kernel.org | 21:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: yes | 21:09 |
| average | stijnvbrande: hey | 21:10 |
| dmikalova | hitsujiTMO: Thanks, and is building a kernel supported by LTS? | 21:10 |
| average | ananana: hey | 21:10 |
| average | ananana: hello | 21:10 |
| average | ananana: what's up ? | 21:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | dmikalova: using a non repo kernel is not supported | 21:10 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, if new boot and root are all on sdb.. can i just block sda from mounting in fstab and then reboot and see if everything logs in? should that fix? | 21:10 |
| k1l | tnk: you can comment the sda line in fstab. that will prevent the mounting. but i doubt that this will make the system boot when the errors are still spamming | 21:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: no. you still need to remove sda. can you run: sudo parted -l | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 21:11 |
| streulma | over 3 days the 13.04 soap is over | 21:12 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, as soon as gparted finishes its check and fix of sda | 21:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: gparted cant fix physical errors | 21:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: the hdd is no more. not fixable | 21:13 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, that's fine. it's just a media folder. | 21:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: can you run: sudo parted -l | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 21:14 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6810659/ | 21:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: sda is only flagged as boot, its not the actually boot. but it could be interfereng with the boot process if it has a bootstrap install. it could be trying to boot to /dev/sda then /dev/sdb is the OS you want | 21:17 |
| tnk | so, shouldn't i be able to fix and point directly with grub somehow? | 21:17 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, so, shouldn't i be able to fix and point directly with grub somehow? | 21:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: no. sda is showing up to the bios before sdb. if anything you'd have to modify the bios to ensure the hdd boot order is correct | 21:19 |
| tnk | ok, i will do that | 21:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: but you still should remove sda | 21:19 |
| tnk | which is the name of sda -- wdc something? | 21:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: WDC WD5000AAKS | 21:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | its a western digital 500gb hdd | 21:20 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, brb. will try.. rebooting now | 21:21 |

| k1l | i doubt :/ | 21:21 |

| holmser | So, I was editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config in vim. I did a :wq, and then a sudo service sshd restart | 22:12 |
| leonoc | ubottu thank you very much | 22:12 |

| holmser | anyone have any insight into this? | 22:13 |
| [CaBeTuX] | any idea? | 22:13 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, shall i somehow install the grub again? or ensure boot is pointing properly? that bios will look to right drive and partition first? | 22:13 |
| holmser | how am I being denied access to a file as root? | 22:13 |
| tnk | exact error last time was possible root / mount options incorrect.. including relatime | 22:14 |

| Dureiken | tnk : can I deactivate ext4 on all my partitions ? thanks | 22:14 |

| hitsujiTMO | leonoc: /join #ubuntu-es | 22:19 |
| DF3D2 | well, it's installed but it says can't find device: xxxxxxx but I edited /etc/fstab with the correct device | 22:19 |
| DF3D2 | so im not sure what is going on | 22:20 |
| orion | glitsj16: yes | 22:20 |
| SlidingHorn | It's been so long since I've been here...completely forgot about ubottu | 22:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | ruth: that appears to be normal. they should have an altered url with a token followed by /+decide | 22:20 |
| SlidingHorn | It's been so long since I've been here...completely forgot about ubottu | 22:21 |
| SlidingHorn | oops...didn't mean to double post | 22:21 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, SUCCESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 22:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | DF3D2: where exactly does it say that? do you get dropped to initramfs/busybox? | 22:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | !yay | tnk | 22:21 |
| ubottu | tnk: Glad you made it! :-) | 22:21 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, thank you so much - was it just running the update-grub command from within the chroot that needed to fix? | 22:21 |
| DF3D2 | hitsujiTMO, im in grub rescue | 22:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | tnk: and you needed to fix fstab too | 22:22 |
| DF3D2 | hitsujiTMO, i dont even know where it is getting that uuid from | 22:22 |
| mjmac_ | Is this the ubuntu help channel? | 22:22 |
| tnk | what was the fstab fix? removing relatime references? | 22:22 |
| tnk | and removing the sda pointer? | 22:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | DF3D2: can you boot to the desktop live cd please | 22:22 |
| DF3D2 | hitsujiTMO, I could -- i'm trying to make my own usb bootable with a copied over ubuntu install for another machine | 22:22 |
| HellTiger_ | how will i install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer on a wlan only device? | 22:23 |
| DF3D2 | hitsujiTMO, I have a laptop I can put the drive in, what do you want me to do ? | 22:23 |
| glitsj16 | orion: the package is part of a set of meta-packages for virtual appliances, don't have any experience with those so i'm not clear on what to advise .. did it produce a new initrd.img ? | 22:23 |
| tnk | hitsujiTMO, were the fstab fixes removing relatime and removing a pointer to sda? | 22:23 |
| kingfisher64 | I guess all i need is a way to reset unity's desktop windows back to it's default state, but keep all my files and programs installed | 22:23 |

| DF3D2 | lets try that | 22:24 |
| kingfisher64 | can anyone advise me on how to restore it's default state for just he default packages that come with ununtu? | 22:25 |
| kingfisher64 | i've googled for hours different solutions trying one after another | 22:25 |
| ruth | Ubuntu One is not showing anyway to make that work, hitsujiTMO. We put "/+decide behind the referral url and it doesn't work. | 22:25 |
| glitsj16 | orion: can you pastebin output of .. sudo apt-get install linux-image-virtual .. so we can check what's going on? | 22:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | DF3D2: no. it could be that you have a host that requires ohci_pci that isn't present in initramfs | 22:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | ruth: what is the url that your friend gets redirected to | 22:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | DF3D2: will that usb boot ok in another pc? | 22:27 |

| alazyworkaholic | Fast user account switching fails very often to an unresponsive black screen & flashing cursor. How can I figure out what the problem is? | 23:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: also whats the output of: cat /etc/issue | 23:09 |
| second | anyone here can give me some hint of the best supported hardware (that you can buy new today) that i have to purchase in order to have a 100% solid PC | 23:10 |
| second | ¿ | 23:10 |
| JuJuBee | hitsujiTMO: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 23:10 |
| JuJuBee | http://pastebin.com/S6vF5tjD | 23:10 |
| second | i will use it for web development (mostly frontend) | 23:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | second: intel, intel, intel, and intel | 23:10 |
| second | my current computer has intel, although my graphics are causing me a lot of trouble | 23:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | second: what graphics? | 23:11 |
| second | i have an i5 2400, P8P67m-pro, and AMD 6850HD | 23:11 |
| Zaretux | the AMD GPU are problematics with Linux | 23:12 |
| DF3D2 | Zaretux, im running 4 290s right now just fine | 23:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | second: there's your problem, it's not intel :P ... the apu in the i5 is perfect for your needs | 23:13 |
| second | i've always had AMD, so probably that's why i was never able to switch... | 23:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | DF3D2: he's not mining | 23:13 |
| second | no, not into mining | 23:13 |
| Dureiken | Hi, could I clone one ubuntu usb key to make a "save" ?? thanks | 23:13 |
| second | So its intel integrated graphics then... | 23:14 |
| Zaretux | DF3D2, I a HAve a HD5770. The 3d aceleration is OK. But the 2D acell is poor compared to nvidia and intel HD | 23:14 |
| second | will i be able to play some games with it? i dont play much, just starcraft | 23:14 |
| second | and not often | 23:14 |
| Zaretux | DF3D2, using fglrx? | 23:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: not seeing hdd errors at least. can you also pastebin the contents of /var/log/syslog | 23:15 |
| DF3D2 | Zaretux, using nvidia proprietary fglrx | 23:15 |
| DF3D2 | but im not gaming like hitsujiTMO said | 23:16 |
| DF3D2 | and I did have trouble even installing the drivers a second time -- thats why I had to clone my install where it works | 23:16 |
| DF3D2 | but they mine good | 23:16 |
| Dureiken | hitsujiTMO : could I clone one ubuntu usb key to make a "save" ? :) | 23:16 |
| Zaretux | I'm a casual Gamer... | 23:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dureiken: you could use dd, but its dangerous if done you make any typos. | 23:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dureiken: you could also maybe try clonezilla | 23:17 |
| JuJuBee | hitsujiTMO: funny, it won't paste for some reason. I can open in Gedit, and paste to new text doc, but not to pastebin | 23:17 |
| marlinc | Is there a Ubuntu server metapackage that I can install to create server environment from the mini iso? | 23:17 |
| Zaretux | DF3D2, the unnoficial amd linux wiki have good tutorials, I haven't issues in installation | 23:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 23:18 |
| DF3D2 | Zaretux, well it wasn't installing the drivers it was getting something to compile with openCL support -- so not really relevant for any issue you have sorry I opened my mouth -- carry on | 23:18 |
| second | i plan to buy a socket 1150 motherboard + i5 cpu, is there any brand/chipset/network/sound to avoid? | 23:18 |
| Dureiken | hitsujiTMO : does imaeUSB on windows could work ? | 23:18 |
| DF3D2 | second, msi makes crap motherboards in my experience | 23:18 |
| DF3D2 | asrock/asus/gigabyte are good | 23:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dureiken: not sure, not heard of it so not sure how it works | 23:19 |
| Zaretux | DF3D2, I agree.. Unigine Valley don't work with opensource drivers.. | 23:19 |
| second | nice,my plan was to go on asus | 23:19 |

| DF3D2 | yeah i will never buy an msi ever again | 23:21 |
| DF3D2 | nothing they make | 23:22 |
| DF3D2 | I have a bunch of asrock mobos coming for my mining farm | 23:24 |
| DF3D2 | and asus 280x gpus | 23:24 |
| second | is it mining that profitable? | 23:24 |
| leonoc | /join#ubuntu.es | 23:24 |
| DF3D2 | yeah it is | 23:24 |

| DF3D2 | it is stressful | 23:25 |
| DF3D2 | ive been fighting an issue for 24 hrs now | 23:25 |
| DF3D2 | and losing money | 23:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: hmm. a few odd warnings and errors but nothing major it seems. lets try: sudo pastebinit /var/log/installer/syslog | 23:26 |
| jhutchins | DF3D2: have you considered just buying bitcoin with the money you're spending on power for mining? I understand the rate of return is much better. | 23:27 |
| DF3D2 | jhutchins, my power costs are minimal where I live | 23:27 |
| DF3D2 | jhutchins, I make atleast 10x a day what I spend in power | 23:28 |
| AHemlocksLie | I have a 12.04 server I need to upgrade to 13.04. I'm not entirely sure 13.10 is acceptable, so I need to control the version I update to, and I have to do it from command line. I'm having trouble finding a guide that can specify update version, though | 23:28 |
| second | AhemlocksLie, if your server is on production environment, please don't! | 23:28 |
| second | wait until 14.04 | 23:28 |
| AHemlocksLie | They're servers I'm only using for a couple months, so waiting 3 months isn't feasible | 23:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | AHemlocksLie: 13.04 is also eol in a few days | 23:29 |
| JuJuBee | hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6811266/ | 23:29 |
| AHemlocksLie | I appreciate the advice, guys, but my main priority is getting functional. Then I can determine if upgrading again is worthwhile. It's nothing so complex that that's too cumbersome. | 23:30 |

| jrib | AHemlocksLie: what's wrong with 12.04? | 23:32 |
| ct85711 | well, if anyone is interested in a work around for the xdg.origin.url error message; you can set nouser_xattr in your fstab file for your root partition (vfat and ntfs does not support that option) | 23:32 |

| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: seing errors for your windows partition at leat | 23:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: seing errors for your windows partition at least | 23:34 |
| JuJuBee | hitsujiTMO: haven't booted that partition in over a year | 23:34 |
| kostkon | AHemlocksLie, better upgrade it now before it becomes eol | 23:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: you need to run chkdsk on it next time you do | 23:34 |
| JuJuBee | hitsujiTMO: thanks for the tip, I will | 23:35 |
| AHemlocksLie | jrib, it doesn't have packages I need, and I don't quite understand what I'm missing yet, so I can't verify it's in 13.10, and I intend to figure this all out once I get up and running and have spare time to do so | 23:35 |
| jrib | AHemlocksLie: that's pretty vague. Do you understand ubuntu's support schedule? | 23:35 |
| AHemlocksLie | Roughly, yes, releases every 6 months, LTS for some, I believe including 12.04. There's a release in 3 months, but I'm only using the server for 1-2 months, so it's a moot point | 23:36 |
| jrib | AHemlocksLie: that's the release schedule. Do you understand the support schedule? | 23:37 |
| jrib | AHemlocksLie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases look at the EOL dates | 23:37 |
| AHemlocksLie | jrib, that's good to know, but what I need to do is verified to work on 13.04, and if I can get things running, I can figure out how to do them right. As it stands, though, I have a dozen servers doing nothing, and my main priority is to make them operational | 23:38 |
| === parduse is now known as Guest637 | ||
| === pardusf is now known as parduse | ||
| jrib | AHemlocksLie: as long as you understand you are choosing to run a release that is scheduled to be end-of-life (most importantly no security updates) at the end of this month | 23:39 |
| AHemlocksLie | I do, if I can figure out how. And if I can make it work with 13.10, I can and will upgrade them again once they work. But EOL hasn't hit yet, so I still need to work with what I have | 23:40 |
| JuJuBee | hitsujiTMO: I ran apt-get update & apt-get upgrade and still software-center will not open | 23:40 |
| AHemlocksLie | So now that we've established all the reasons I shouldn't do what I'm trying to do and I've established that I intend to fix those problems when time allows, can anyone please explain how to upgrade from 12.04 to specifically 13.04 | 23:40 |
| jrib | AHemlocksLie: if i were in your shoes i would try 13.10 first. If issues come up that can't be quickly resolved, revert to 13.04 and then work on getting on 13.10 ASAP | 23:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: sudo apt-get install apt-xapian-index | 23:41 |
| jrib | AHemlocksLie: you need to upgrade 12.04 to 12.10 first, then 12.10 to 13.04 | 23:41 |
| jrib | !upgrade | AHemlocksLie | 23:41 |
| ubottu | AHemlocksLie: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 23:41 |
| JuJuBee | hitsujiTMO: says it is already installed | 23:42 |
| JuJuBee | ??? | 23:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | JuJuBee: sudo apt-get install --reinstall apt-xapian-index | 23:42 |
| AHemlocksLie | They're servers, so I have to do things by command line. I found a guide advocating the use of "sudo do-release-upgrade –d". Will this update incrementally, then, instead of immediately to the latest release? | 23:43 |
| jrib | AHemlocksLie: read the link. It tells you how to upgrade servers (and yes, you use do-release-upgrade but there's no "d" at the end) | 23:43 |
| jrib | AHemlocksLie: you can't skip releases unless you are going from LTS to LTS | 23:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | AHemlocksLie: -d is to upgrade to a dev release, which is certainly not what you want | 23:44 |
| AHemlocksLie | jrib, ah, okay, I found it. Thank you very much for the help | 23:44 |
