glitsj16sudormrf: does the cron job work when ran from terminal? that should be the easiest way to see if syntax is involved .. once you have it working in terminal and use full paths there's a very good chance the cronjob will start working00:38
sudormrfglitsj16, actually it may be with rsync.  just to verify the basic syntax would be like rsync /location/of/files/to/copy /copy/destination00:38

Guest97738Hi, so I have netflix running good on Ubuntu 12.04, and I'm using User Agent overriders for both of my browsers into spoofing netflix into thinking I'm windows. These overriders are always in the top right hand corner of both my browsers, firefox and chrome. My question is, do these make my browsers turn into windows in all that I do online? I mean, will I get outside bugs like windows can get by having these agent overriders there?00:45

glitsj16Guest97738: look for a user-agent spoofing add-on that you can configure for specific sites, that way your general browsing experience should be the least affected00:54

underscoreold but should work00:55
Guest97738glitsj16, so I only want them to watch netflix. So, should I go get the user-agent spoofer add-on every time to watch it, so that I don't have to have it on every site? Do you know a work around that?00:56
mikubuntuugh. i installd lub 13.04 from disk, and then took the offered version upgrade to 13.10 -- during the upgrade i noted that there was a message about some part of the installation being broken, and i might want to run "gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders etc..." -- sure enough at the end of the upgrade the box hung up on boot at splash screen, so i pulled up the term and ran the command from the install term. permission denied. any ideas where00:56
Guest97738sorry, there are only one or two that really work.00:57
Guest97738-that work to watch netflix, I mean for each browser.00:58
glitsj16Guest97738: you can keep the add-on installed all the time if it is capable of setting it up to only spoof your user-agent on netflix .. i don't know what browsers you use but there should be several that offer that option00:58
Guest97738hummm I didn't know that. O.k. I'll look into that. thanks!00:58

Guest97738I have another question. I know Ubuntu 12.04 is a great LTS distro, but some people are raving about 13.10. It only last about 6 mo. right? Why is it so good when we have to go and get 14.04 LTS pretty soon?01:00

KornyAnyone good with getting disks to spin down in ubuntu?  I'm trying to get an empty drive to spin down, I forced it to spindown with hdparm -y yet it wakes up randomly, the disk is brand new to the system so no applications should be writing to it02:00
bekksKorny: Forcing spindowns will heavily lower lifetime of the disk.02:00
bekksI do recommend to not spin down disks at all.02:00
Kornybekks most disks are rated for 200,000 + spin downs02:01
bekksLOL, thats a lie, honestly.02:01
bekks200.000 spindowns with 180.000h MTBF would mean that you spin down your disk more than once in an hour.02:01

mikubuntuglitsj16: i was being lazy today i guess. the laptop wouldn't charge and i din't know if it was the internal connection to the motherboard or the charger itself. i searched ebay and found a replacement charger for $12, but there is a local batteries plus franchise that said they would test the charger i have -- so i went there, and after testing, they said my charger was bad, and they had a replacement for $60. but i din't have $6002:24
=== Guest6923 is now known as m00se
zedzdeadSo what did you do?02:24
mikubuntuglitsj16: the $12 one. then i went thru my box of old bricks, and found a dell charger with nearly the same specs, 19.5 volts and 90 watts, instead of 19 volts and 90 watts, and its working off of it. hope the extra .5  volts won't get me in trouble, but i want to get the machine working.02:26
zedzdeadA few volts never hurt anyone ;)02:26
glitsj16lol02:26
unreal-dudeonly gonna heat up something by a few milli degrees02:27
mikubuntuunreal-dude: its definitely running a little hot -- might be clogged up with dust also, gotta find a can of air tomorrow02:28
glitsj16mikubuntu: there's #hardware, they should be able to give you good advise02:28
zedzdeadmikubuntu you may want to look into getting air compressors, so you dont have to keep buying cans. compressors will save you money in the long run02:28
mikubuntunow i see ubuntustudio is going to have to go on a usb stick it's 2gb -- i hope that box will boot from usb -- it must, right?02:29
mikubuntuzedzdead: i din't know you could use a compressor thought the air had to be 'purified' or something .. lol .. are you talking about a little compressor you buy at the drugstore?02:30
glitsj16mikubuntu: in case the BIOS doesn't support it, look for something called PloP boot manager, that can boot from CD drive and hand-off the rest to USB02:31
unreal-dudeid be careful with comressors, they can get condensed water vapor02:31
mikubuntuzedzdead: unreal-dude yes, i knew i had heard something about using compressors02:32
mikubuntubut the damn cans of air are EXPENSIVE02:32
wahibdona compressor should have a bleeder to get the condensation out.02:33
mikubuntuglitsj16: plop boot mgr -- but how will i burn the iso part to the disk?02:33
glitsj16mikubuntu: let's hope it isn't needed, i just threw it in in case it doesn't .. the iso has to be on the USB, plop will need to be burned to disk02:34
mikubuntuglitsj16: ok, going to look at the bios now02:35
glitsj16so you can follow the same instructions on how to get the ubuntustudio iso onto a USB stick02:35
mikubuntuglitsj16: yes was goint to unet ustudio onto a stick, gotta find out if thats viable02:36
glitsj16mikubuntu: that should work yes02:37
mikubuntuglitsj16: this is not a very old box -- i can't believe it but the boot sequence options only include cd-rom, floppy (floppy?), and internal network adapter boot02:39

Thor446My E:\ drive is NTFS, is that the problem?04:03
lotuspsychjeThor446: you cant install the iso directly to your hd04:03
lotuspsychjeThor446: you need a media somehow to burn it on, to install ubuntu on your system04:04
Jordan_Umojtaba: There are ways to tell a filesystem not to use certain blocks considered bad, but if your hard drive has unrecoverably bad blocks it's probably close to dying completely anyway.04:04

Thor446Ah, I have a radio shack up the street.  Anyway, thanks for the help, Ill probably be back once I get a USB04:08
Jordan_Umojtaba: If you're just looking to make a backup, then this is the wrong way to go about it (it will cause a lot of pointless reads to the disk, reducing its life). GNU ddrescue is probably what you want. Is the drive you're copying to large enough to hold a full image of the failing drive?04:08

mojtabaJordan_U: I guess you missed my answer. Yes, I have a 1TB external hard drive, and the bad disk is 512 GB04:28
Jordan_Umojtaba: Indeed, that was my fault. Sorry. I highly recommend using GNU ddrescue (not the similarly named but highly inferior dd_rescue) to make a full drive backup. GNU ddrescue is specifically designed to get as much data as possible off of a failing disk.04:28
ZCitrusi only show my hard drives04:28
lotuspsychjeThor446: you need to find a way to extract the iso somewhere to a media to install ubuntu setup first04:29
Thor446lotuspsychje If I used UNetbootin, I meant04:29
mojtabaJordan_U: The problem is that, the partition become read only in the middle of the process.04:29
lotuspsychjeThor446: i would go buy an usb device, they are cheap these days04:29
Thor446lotuspsychje If all fails, Ill just walk up to radioshack in the morning, I was too lazy to do that04:30
mojtabaJordan_U: Can I then restore it exactly on a new hdd on my laptop?04:30
lotuspsychjeThor446: a 2 gig usb pen will cost you almost nothing04:30
Jordan_Umojtaba: If you don't mind losing all of the data currenlty on the HD you're restoring to, yes.04:31
Thor446lotuspsychje Yeah, $3, Im just that lazy to walk half a block04:31
Jordan_Umojtaba: Have you confirmed that the problem is with bad sectors by checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drive?04:31

Thor446lotuspsychje Would wubi work if I booted up from XP right now? Im too impatient to wait for RS to open04:34
Jordan_Umojtaba: You can do it directly, but setting the new drive as the output for GNU ddrescue (with a third drive holding ddrescue's log file), or you have ddrescue save to an image file and later dd that image file to the new drive. (You can also mount the partitions on the image file while it's still a file, not need to copy it to a raw drive to be able to access your files).04:34

greetersorry i couldn't have been a bigger help. i'm still new to ubuntu and figuring things out for myself06:43
Jordan_Uwookienz_: Sounds like somehow update-grub was run when you didn't have any kernels in /boot/. Do you have a separate /boot/ partition?06:44

manikanta_its okay :)06:44

wookienz_standby06:46
Jordan_Uwookienz_: I doubt that all the kernel packages were actually removed, because attempting to do that would cause apt-get to scream very loudly at you :)06:47

Jordan_Uwookienz_: Indeed, a fully featured LiveCD environment sounds much better.06:53
wookienz_ok thats better...fstab looks fine with the UUID for the sda.06:58

wookienz_yup, just istalling it07:01
john_ramboHow do I delete a folder from the Ubuntu one app ? I have already removed it using the web interface but when I start the app it starts syncing that folder again07:02
Jordan_Uwookienz_: While you're waiting for pastebinit to install, you can start preparing to chroot into your installed system and re-install kernel packages. Where is your root partition mounted?07:11

* Gallomimia gets paper09:42
nevynGallomimia: they're not programs really... they're components of the disk subsystems.09:43
nevynso they're all bits of the kernel09:43
nevynthe major ones we discussed are md, cache and lvm09:43
Gallomimiapackages which i must google, i think?09:43
nevynso we discussed my prefered way to use ssd's and multiple disks in linux09:44
Gallomimiayes. a way to which i had no idea or inkling existed even! i'm happy to have heard about it09:44
nevynand how the particular characteristics of ssd's could be best utilised.09:44
Gallomimiai've heard raiding SSD's can be tricky... any foundation to that claim?09:45
nevynso I would not raid ssd's09:45
nevynI would use them with dm-cache09:45
Gallomimiaseparately?09:45
omdreams-homeraiding ssd have inherent problems due to the limited nature of ssd read write  limitations.. ie every read write = wear to death  faster09:46
omdreams-homeraiding is for thruput and fast access - so theroy is faster to the death path09:46
nevynhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-cache09:46
HellooworldHI , could you please tell me whay's the difference between  wpa psk  ccmp and wpa  psk tkip ??09:46
markovircHello Hellooworld09:46
nevynomdreams-home: that's not true.09:47
Gallomimiaprobably the same speed to death, but more writes due to the bigger block/stripe size?09:48
nevynin particular the purpose and performance of "raid" varies with the raid level, device speed sand sizes.09:48
nevynGallomimia: no.. some raid levels (1, 4 and 5) write amplify. so a 512b write becomes 1.5kb written to actual disks.09:48
=== tristan_ is now known as Guest71226
Gallomimiai have a pair of SSD's. the plan was to raid0 them09:49
nevynyou could do that.09:49
nevynor you yould just tell dmcache about them09:49
Gallomimiabetter than single disks? or same?09:49
nevynit depends if you're planning to use dmcache or not.09:49
nevynso raid0 is just concatination09:50
Gallomimiai'm planning to "read all about it" then pick the best way. but i'll probably listen to your recommendations09:50
nevynif you're planning to use dmcache it's actually not a benefit because if one dies the other will go offline too.09:50
nevynso you raid the two ssd's then use that raid as a cache volume for dm-cache.09:50
nevynhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-cache (btw)09:51
nevynif you do that (raid then use the raid device)09:51
artieIm trying to do an install from a livecd onto a usb flash drive in my system that i use everyday. I booted to the livecd and selected the 'do something else' option. But, the live cd isn't giving me a choice of doing anything to the usb drive. How do I install to the usb drive?09:51
nevynif a device dies the whole acceleration path dies because the raid will be OFFLINE09:51
Guest38007you wont really notice any difrence from using 1 ssd to using 2 in raid 009:51
nevynGuest38007: I'd notice.09:52
Gallomimiatheory says it should go twice as fast, yes/09:52
nevynthere'd be one filesystem to manage instead of two.09:52
nevynno.09:52
Gallomimiaat this stage in the game, i'm really not worried about a disk failure. they're samsung SSD's and i expect decent life out of it09:53
Gallomimiaand, i would also expect that if one dies, the other should be right behind it09:53
nevynGallomimia: so my reccomendation is don't raid the ssd's just tell dm-cache about both of them.09:53
Gallomimiaalso they're still in the box09:53
Gallomimiak. but still run a 3x raid5 on the 2tb drives?09:54
nevynyep09:54
nevynfor general unanalised workload this should give the best performance by being mostly self tuning.09:54
Gallomimiai generally just want it to load my games faster. most every other program runs fast as hell09:55
nevynso this would be my starting place.09:55
Guest38007you should have spent that ssd money on 1 really fast ssd insted of two and trying to do raid 009:56
nevynGuest38007: shush.09:56
Gallomimiaagreed09:56
Gallomimiadidn't know about this handy tool tho09:57
nevynGallomimia: you could. do other things...09:57
nevyneg.09:57
nevynyou should in any case.. put the games in a seperate lvm logical volume to other stuff...09:58
Guest38007your said for games, rinning windows 7 ?09:58
nevynwat?09:58
Gallomimiaof course not.09:58
Gallomimiawindows is illegal on my system >:(09:58
nevynGallomimia: so here's the thing. if you decide that dm-cache isn't adequate.09:59
Gallomimiabad enough i don't have an open source bios09:59
nevynyou could remove it.09:59
nevynadd the ssd's as additional Physical volumes in LVM  and move the logical volume containing the game data to the ssd's10:00
Guest38007lol ok, you should prob look into how linux handles TRIM for ssds, I'm not sure about that..10:01
Guest38007lol LVM dont use LVM wow linux 101 here10:02

nevynno the guy who stole the cookie from the cookie jar.10:03
Gallomimiano the other one antagonizing a discussion between myself and nevyn10:03
nevynGallomimia: so the bits are...10:04
nevyn3x2gig in md raid5 -> dmcache using the 2xSSD -> multipath for failover (optional) -> LVM -> logical volumes10:05
GallomimiaGuest38007: i noticed you haven't given any reasons for your anti-recommendation yet... is this cause you don't have any?10:06
Guest38007no not trollin jest tryin to help you out becuse some guy was telling you to use LVM which is wrong10:07
Gallomimiaand yet you still haven't given reasons for that10:07
Gallomimianevyn: i'm thinking i'll perform a clean install of 13.10 on this new rig, and just abandon the install on this single 500g. at what stage will i run an installer?10:08
nevynGallomimia: I would do the md and lvm setup using the installer10:08
nevynthen setup dm-cache afterwards10:09
Gallomimiasounds pretty good to me.10:09
Gallomimiaand now it's 0210 here. time for some sleeping. thanks for repeating what you said a week ago10:10
nevynGuest38007: lvm is more complicated than simple partitions. but the gained flexibility is in my professional opinion worth it.10:10
Gallomimiait's an interesting concept. snapshot backups eh? very interesting10:11
Guest38007it's more for like a database server say, if you have 100 bg hd you can add to it make it biger, move lvm's around, stuff like that, you take a preformance hit by using it10:11
Gallomimiashould i map a few volumes, one for games, one for music/videos, and then the OS?10:11
Guest38007plus you cant backup LVM's with stuff like clonezilla10:11
Gallomimiaah, that's a discussion for another day10:11
nevynGuest38007: yes.10:11
nevynGuest38007: don't make things too big. 20gig for the os should be enough.10:13
nevynGuest38007: so for /10:13
Gallomimiai'm reading it can get moved around and stuff10:13
nevynGallomimia: ?10:14
Gallomimiai'm also wondering if i need to allocate swap at all :/10:14
Gallomimiamoved around... uh, i meant resized10:14
nevynsure.10:14
nevynthat's the point. so make it 20 and if you need to make it 30 worry about it when you've used 15.10:14
Gallomimiai've never actually liked partitions, except to run different operating systems on them10:15
Gallomimiaah, that's a good point really. could let me try a few other things eh? i've resolved to get used to ubuntu before bothering with different distro's10:15
nevynso this stack should boot with most linux's10:16
nevynyou will need grub210:16
nevynif you don't have a seperate /boot10:16
Gallomimiaanything worth caring about :P10:16
Guest38007Gallomimia think of it this way LVM is software RAID and your running raid 0, so your trying to run two raids at once = slow10:17
nevynGuest38007: that's just wrong.10:18
Gallomimiabut i'm not going to run raid 010:18
Gallomimianevyn just told me not to. you were there10:18
Gallomimiais dm-cache smart enough to try using them both to their fullest potential?10:19
nevynyep.10:19
solsTiCeI can't access the Public directory in my home of ubuntu laptop that I set to share from another ubuntu laptop. all I can see in the log is a permission denied on "stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/public failed, Permisison denied"10:19
nevynGallomimia: it'll keep an index in ram of whats cached on each ssd and avoid doubling up10:20
Gallomimiabut will it spread the cache around and let me read it faster?10:20
manikanta#osgeo10:20
Guest38007Ok ok no raid 0, yoae raid 0 and using lvm would jest be a mess, you mite as well install ubuntu  and make a big pile of mess10:20
Gallomimiai dunno if that's all that important10:20
GallomimiaGuest38007: i think you've had enough to drink. maybe you should go to sleep?10:21
Guest38007lol windows 8 users10:22
Gallomimianevyn: hah. this guy is funny. Guest38007 do you do children's parties also?10:24
nevynGallomimia: it's not magic it can make a guess about future access patterns but it doesn't know them.it's like the perfect memory manager (swapping strategy)10:25
nevynGallomimia: the perfect swap strategy is swap the memory page we'll never need again10:26
nevynGallomimia: failling that the one we need furthest into the future10:26
Gallomimiathe only way to come even remotely close to that is if your programs all tell your pager their plans10:27
nevynright. guess what doesn't happen10:27
nevynand they do it in a contract type way.. (ie.. we promise we won't need this for 30 seconds whatever...)10:28
Gallomimiabranching prediction goes awry and plans get scrapped :P10:28
nevynuh-huh.10:28
Gallomimiaalso, it'd take more resources to do that than would ever be saved or freed or shared more efficiently10:29

But if I do remove it 268 other packages that depend on it will also be removed, basically I'll break my system. Is there any way to remove "libavahi-common3" without breaking my system?11:08
gordonjcpFrogbarf: and what is that answer?11:08
FrogbarfWhen the book was written, it relied on insight which was pulled from ubuntu just after the book was published11:08
AlphadudePax; when is Ubuntu 14.14 coming out?11:08
Paxcan i be the acid provider instead lel11:08
Alphadudelel!!!!!!!11:08
Alphadudeok enough11:08
cfhowlettFireStorms, this is your working system I assume.  Perhaps better to set up a virtual machine to fix/break?11:08
whiskers75ok, this support channel isn't really support, just !offtopic11:08
cfhowlett!saucy|Alphadude,11:09
ubottuAlphadude,: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes11:09
Frogbarfso i visited the errata website and foundthis11:09
HtfuHi guys. I have a problem with a boot-error: "Invalid signature detected." - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/6813602/ for more info. Anyone care to take a look?11:09
Frogbarfhttp://www.stepbystep.ishipaco.com/11:09
Alphadudevery saucy indeed, cfhowlett.11:09
Alphadudewant sauce? get ubuntu 13.10!11:09
Alphadudeubuntu 13.10, the OS of 4chan11:09
Alphadudelmao11:09
FrogbarfThe second problem with which Jeff is currently dealing, is the fact that he was blindsided by the recent release of Linux Ubuntu 10.4. For unknown reasons, the Insight debugger, which Jeff uses throughout his book, was dropped from the Ubuntu 10.4 package. Further, an Insight package is not to be found on any of the standard repositories that Ubuntu 10.4 Synaptic knows about, and I haven't been able to get any Insight packages11:09
Frogbarffrom other sources to work. However, there are several work-arounds for this problem. In particular, see Solution Three below for a way to actually install Insight on Ubuntu 10.4:11:09
gordonjcpFrogbarf: insight is pretty old11:09
FireStormscfhowlett, yes it is my work system. I do not have the knowledge to clone my machine into a virtual box. So instead I am hoping there is a method of reverting package uninstillations?11:10
Alphadudewho even puts these names on ubuntu?11:10
whiskers75I'm leaving until some ops clean this place up.11:10
whiskers75oh wait, I can just ignore Alphadude11:10
gordonjcpFrogbarf: it hasn't been updated for four years, and uses a toolkit that hasn't been updated for over a decade11:10
AlphadudeUbuntu 13.04 (Hypnos) would be cooler11:10
Frogbarfgordonjcp:  yes it is very old, and a user can easily work with kdbg11:10
AlphadudeUbuntu Hypnos!11:10
cfhowlettFireStorms, over my head - sorry.11:10
bekkswhiskers75: I just looked it up: the 12.04 alternate ISO is 746M, which fits on 800M cd media.11:10

cfhowlettwhiskers75, refit is no longer supported.  refind is the suggested alternative11:12
gordonjcpAlphadude: if you've nothing to say, say nothing11:13
whiskers75cfhowlett: How do I upgrade to refind from refit, then?11:13
gordonjcpwhiskers75: download and run refind11:13
whiskers75k11:13

whiskers75thanks ;)11:13
cfhowlettwhiskers75, not an upgrade - whole different program to install11:13

AlphadudeI still use DVDs.11:14
gordonjcpwhiskers75: don't use unetbootin11:14
gordonjcpwhiskers75: you've got dd11:14
Alphadudewhy not, gordonjcp?11:14
gordonjcpAlphadude: no need for it11:14
Alphadudedd is advanced and hard, gordonjcp11:14
Gallomimiayep. dd is best11:14
Gallomimianot that hard11:14
Alphadudedd screwed my partition up last time I tried11:14
Alphadudedd is a no-go for me11:14
gordonjcpAlphadude: it's far simpler than unetbootin11:14
Frogbarfgordonjcp:  Here is the listings archive.  http://www.copperwood.com/pub/asmsbs3e.zip  unzip it then in chapter5/eatsyscall assemble the program eatsystcall.asm in 32 bit mode then try to step though the executable in kdbg11:15
FrogbarfIn the source window it is not possible to click on the plus symbols on the left.11:15
Gallomimiait's easy to find out which device to use by listing devices before and after plugging in the usb, piping them to file and running diff on the results11:15
Alphadudeis it possible to boot windows XP from a USB that was added thru dd?11:15
Gallomimiafrom there you go dd if=myimage of=mydevice11:16
gordonjcpFrogbarf: I use gdb, not kgdb11:16
FrogbarfYou can enver a breakpoint, but he green pointer is missing so you cannot see which instruction the program is at11:16
whiskers75gordonjcp: no, dcfldd11:16
gordonjcpFrogbarf: I wouldn't touch KDE with a ten foot stick11:16
cfhowlettAlphadude, windows xp is not supported here on the #ubuntu channel - obviously11:16
gordonjcpwhiskers75: that'll work too11:16
FireStormsIs there a command to kill a processes that are using a particular package: "# apt-get remove libavahi-common3: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"11:16
Alphadudecfhowlett: I use Ubuntu; but I was thinking if it was possible to boot windows XP from a USB.11:16
FrogbarfI understand, but I am new, and would like to use this tool, that works just fine in older versions of suse and ubuntu11:16
gordonjcpFireStorms: that's not because something is using the package, that's because something is using the package manager11:17
GallomimiaFireStorms: lsof with a grep will probably help you find which process11:17
FireStormsgordonjcp, that makes sense I do have synaptic open, thank you11:17
Gallomimiabut thats probably just software center11:17
* whiskers75 axel http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso11:17

gordonjcpFrogbarf: I know that's not the answer you're looking for11:19
gordonjcpFrogbarf: but give it a shot anyway11:19
whiskers75gordonjcp: so just dd if=(iso) of=/dev/sdc?11:19
gordonjcpwhiskers75: correct11:20
gordonjcpwhiskers75: assuming sdc is the right path11:20
whiskers75you can do that with ISOs?11:20

rustuptwistif an older ubuntu distro is loaded on a computer can the latest version of another distro, e.g. Edubuntu be downloaded onto it so that the final result is the latest Edubuntu?13:26
jribrustuptwist: just upgrade your ubuntu.  You can install the edubuntu-desktop package on ubuntu.13:26
bekksrustuptwist: Which "older version"?13:26
rustuptwistjrib:  not sure what you mean 'just upgrade'  'on ubuntu'13:27
rustuptwistbekks:  Jaunty13:27
bekksrustuptwist: Which version (not codename) is that?13:27
cfhowlettrustuptwist, no13:27
cfhowlettrustuptwist, you'd have to upgrade to the latest distro AND add the other distro-desktop packages13:28
MonkeyDustjaunty was 9.0413:28
cfhowlett!jaunty13:28
ubottuUbuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details.13:29
k1lrustuptwist: either you make a new install of edubuntu or you make all the upgrades that are betweeen jaunty and the actual latest supported ubuntu verison13:29
k1lrustuptwist: hint: new install is way faster13:29
cfhowlettk1l, WAY easier to just download the latest edubuntu and clean install13:29
jribrustuptwist: edubuntu is ubuntu with specific packages installed that aren't installed by default on "ubuntu" (i.e., the edubuntu-desktop package).  So you can upgrade your ubuntu jaunty to a later version (hopefully a supported version).  Then you can install the edubuntu-desktop package to get the packages from edubuntu.  As jaunty is really old, it will be faster for you to back up and do a reinstall13:29

MasterRoot24larry_ If that's the case, then I would check your HID settings in BIOS, but I suspect you can't access them either. Maybe try resetting motherboard CMOS, however this is way off-topic as the issue is not isolated to Ubuntu. Maybe try Google on how to reset motherboard settings, then try the keyboards again.14:15

Psil0Cybinusually I never have these problems, it was my first time dealing with a raid system (3 hard drives) trying to get them running as one.14:53
rypervenchePsil0Cybin: You can shrink your ext4 partition and create a swap on it, but you'll need to do it from a live cd14:53
llutzPsil0Cybin: workaround if the rest of the system runs ok: just create a swap-file and add that to your fstab. performanceloss is marginal14:53
rypervenchePsil0Cybin: Or yes, you could just use a swapfile.14:54
Psil0Cybinllutz: yea the rest of the system runs okay, do you perhaps have a guide so i can get this going :)14:54
Psil0CybinIts just for a work server, so I can fix it later..14:54

Psil0Cybinllutz: but if I am close by, I would just restart the system and it would be fine again?14:56
rypervenchePsil0Cybin: You want swap.14:56
Psil0Cybinof course, yea14:56
tajamulsir i hav einstalled ubuntu 13.10 on my system but it is working very slowly as if in slow motion14:56
llutzPsil0Cybin: create some 500mb swapfile and you'll be fine14:56
llutzPsil0Cybin: if you see you need more swap, buy RAM14:56
tajamulearlier versions worked fine particularly 11.1014:56
Psil0Cybinokay another thing, I only found this out after I set up NGINX, PHP, Mysql, and a CRM :) LOL Would this cause any data loss? also looking at my partitions, could I not utalize one of the previous partitions i made as a swap.14:56
Psil0Cybinllutz: would I just exucute this command "# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=524288" or do I need to double check, if it is accurate for my system?14:58
Psil0CybinI am just paranoid to cause data loss :( damage.14:58
rypervenchePsil0Cybin: There is no room on the disk for a new partition if you used it all for your ext4 partition. You would either need to shrink the partition to make room for another one, or create a swapfile which you can do on the fly.14:58
llutzPsil0Cybin: how much RAM do you have?14:58

rustuptwistTJ-:  I want a dual boot. this is what this same disc did for my sons hp 2 nights ago16:00

Oxymoronrustuptwist: The problem dualbooting, there is a software called NeoSoftware I think which FROM INSIDE Windows can overwrite MBR with proper dual boot with Ubuntu.16:00

rustuptwistwhether from USb or DVD it does the same thing, reboots back into windows16:04
TJ-Oxymoron: It wasn't that side, it was its over-writing of the BCD store without regard for what was in it.16:04
Oxymoronrustuptwist: What happens when you boot? Do you get any cursor or something, which it usually does when booting from CD.16:04
rustuptwistTJ-:  this time it is DVD, the other night we tried USB, was not working16:04
rustuptwistOxymoron:  yeah a cursor , then it starts up into Ubuntu16:05
TJ-rustuptwist: OK ... that suggests the PCs BIOS is ignoring the boot-order you're giving it... Try entering the BIOS set-up at power-on and ensuring that CD/DVD and USB are listed ahead of the hard disk, in the boot order options16:05
OxymoronTJ-: I dont recognize that problem. But yes I can imagine it causing problems if you dont know what youre doing.16:05

TJ-Oxymoron: The other issue I have with them is I made a request for the source-code as per the GNU GPL and so far they've ignored it.16:06

ThoMewith a other windows pc i have 20 mb/sek16:08
Oxymoronrustuptwist: Yes when installation is done, it always say remove disc from tray and press enter?16:08
TJ-Oxymoron: me too, but I was trying to fix a dual-boot with Win7 in EFI mode, where the Win7 install had been moved from one HDD to another, to make space :)16:08
TJ-Oxymoron: I eventually fixed the registry up manually, but I had been hoping that EasyRA would save me time :)16:09
TJ-rustuptwist: So, lets be clear on your situation. You boot from the DVD and get a menu, you choose either "Try Ubuntu" or "Install", and almost immediately, and without choosing installation options or spending 20 minutes waiting for it to install, you get the "Remove disk" message?16:10
OxymoronTJ-: Hehe yeah that sucks :P I only use Windows 7 in Virtualbox if I really need it. However really slow with 4 GB DDR3 ... which it shouldnt, but does anyway. My computer freezes when trying to use VisualStudiio in Virtualbox :D16:11
rustuptwistOxymoron:  THAT message comes way too soon and installation is not done16:11
rustuptwistTJ-:  no . i choose the inside windows option and only like 3 mins at most pass16:11
TJ-Oxymoron: that's why my partner needed the dual-boot; his Uni requires him to use Visual Studio 2012 for c++16:11
OxymoronTJ-: My tip is to wipe out Windows as fast as possible and have an alternative Windowscomputer, if you REALLT must have Windows sometimes, like Apple crappy shit do not have Itunes native for Linux ... seriously16:12
Oxymoronrustuptwist: Really? I guess your cd is corrupt then. I would install on a USB stick or burn a new CD or DVD.16:12
Oxymoronrustuptwist: use slow burning speed.16:13
tajamuli have recently installed xubuntu will it change my ubuntu experience in any way other than graphics16:13
TJ-rustuptwist: OK ... to be even clearer then, with your other son's PC that also installed "inside Windows". You can tell by whether when it boots the Window boot-loader lists Windows and Ubuntu (that's 'inside') or you get the GRUB boot menu with Ubuntu listed first and Windows usually last16:13
OxymoronTJ-: I was forced using VisualStudio for my work and for school. In the end I used my other Windows 8 computer (My girlfriend usually uses it) and runned VisualStudio there :D16:13

rustuptwistTJ-:  on my other sons it was not 'inside' the option clearly said 'alongside' after the install it boots and gives a choice of what to run ubuntu, windows,16:15
RosbuntuOxymoron,  sure?16:15
TJ-rustuptwist: And that's what you want now?16:15

jj995when building libcxx from source, is it a best to install under /usr, /usr/local, or /usr/local/libcxx ?16:32
jj995do I risk messing packages up by installing directly under /usr?  I normally install things from source under a dedicated directory (e.g. /usr/local/libcxx) so that it is easy to remove it, but it is a pain to use since it isn't a default search path16:34
llutzjj995: put it into /usr/local/lib, check and edit /etc/ld.so.conf{,.d} to contain that16:36

top-gun-dehello, I have an issue with Ubuntu in a virtual machine: I use Ubuntu 13.10 as a compiling-system for a multimedia-distro (Openelec). I have installed Ubuntu standard, and apt-installed the tools which are needed to build openelec. No other user-application is running. The git-repository lies in my user-folder, and building happens there as well. The machine eats up 2.5-3.5gb of Ram without anything running.17:59
top-gun-deWhat can I do to reduce the size?18:00
v10energyllutz: it requires me to have/use htpasswd to setup users which is part of apache18:00

mab-fosss18:06
top-gun-deBeldar: Yes, that's true. It should have 2GB of Ram to build Openelec. However, from other reports, 2GB of Ram for the whole machine should be sufficient to build openelec. I have set mine to 1,2GB start-size, dynamically increasing to 3,5GB if needed. Linux eats up the whole 3.5GB after a few minutes, with no open window. This is causing shortage on the host-system. I believe it does excessive prefetching for the filesystem-cache18:11
top-gun-deoops, there is a repetition in the posting.18:12
top-gun-defwiw, I do now use Hyper-V 2012R2, but the same thing happened under virtualbox which I used before.18:12
top-gun-deafaik, the OS should be working with 512-1024MB of Ram. In my case, caching so much does not really help the build-process, but the high memoryconsumption is shortening the available ram for the compiler/linker.18:13

Beldarsayah, unity, gnome? is a bit confusing, can you be more specific.18:48

PessimistBeldar, unity is a shell for gnome, you can consider it like a compiz plugin18:48
MonkeyDustsayah  unity is a compiz shell over gnome318:48
rustuptwisthitsujiTMO:  how do i know which one to resize D or E?18:48
BeldarPessimist, that is incorrect, and I'm not a noob18:48
hitsujiTMOrustuptwist: whichever you think is more appropriate18:49
sayahBeldar: i can log into all the desktops, but no gnome3, just gnome218:49
llutzloki_: that rsync command itself is working fine, to local drive as fine as to a sshfs-location. must be something else18:49
hitsujiTMOrustuptwist: depends on what you want18:49
loki_llutz: any ideas where I should look18:49
loki_?18:49
llutzloki_: no sorry18:49
MonkeyDustsayah  it looks like gnome2, but it's gnome3, it's called ubuntu classic18:49
Beldarsayah, Ah, do you mean the pseudo gnome 2 fallback? and are you trying to get the cube there or unity?18:50
sayahBeldar: I have that, and my hardware can display 3d effects on windows18:50
llutzloki_: can you pastebin the output of "ls -lRa /source/folder /target/folder" please?18:50
loki_llutz: let me have a look18:50

Left_Turnthanks kostkon18:54
hitsujiTMOrustuptwist: basically, your windows partitions are taking up all the space, but the ubuntu install wont resize it. You need to downsize it in windows. Usually you'd downsize a partition that has the most free space and then move all partitions forward such that all free spaces is to the end of the drive/extended partition18:54

ag74I used Ubuntu before, but there always came on error-message (CRASH), with XFCE is my life easier :), I dont like Unity19:00

hitsujiTMOTJ-: fire away19:48
TJ-hitsujiTMO: sda4 ends at sector 697833471. The drive ends at 976773167. We could simply 'dd' sda4 up into the unused space starting at some sector offset above the end of sda4.19:48
rustuptwistwhen i access the drives or partiions via the ubuntu home folder mechanism it shows 3 partions and the system reserve19:49
TJ-hitsujiTMO: We now have a bitwise copy of sda4. We can then delete the partition table entry for sda4, create an extended, create a logical of the same sector count as the current sda4, and the dd the backup sectors into the new sda519:49
rustuptwistwhat is weird is that 2 are 74gb each and one is 210gb19:49
hitsujiTMOTJ-: ahh yeah i get ya.19:49

tekkhey guys, I have a bunch of Late 2012 Mac Mini's, they use the BCM57765 chipset for Ethernet which is supported by newer versions of the tg3 driver from broadcom... on 12.10 and below (which is what i've tested) I have to manually compile and install this tg3 variant.... removing the stock one... does anyone know if support in newer ubuntu versions is better? i think it was even included in newer versions of the linux kernel.19:50
rigo88hi. the remote sends mce remote signals in 13.04@3.13kernel, and had sent keyboard signals with 12.04@3.6.3kernel. howsthat? how can i force the system to fetch keyboard presses instead of stupid mce remote signals?19:50
TJ-hitsujiTMO: The backup would start at 831899696 according to my calculation... want to check me on that before we start?19:51

rustuptwistas for the drives they do not seem to have much on them but folders with numbers, e.g. 1029, 1028 and in these folders is eula.rtf, localizedData.xml, and SetupResources.dll19:52

rustuptwistas for important files, my son backed them all up to Dropbox a few days ago when we first started this process19:53

tekkBeldar, more i'm asking, is BCM57765 supported in newer ubuntu versions?19:53
hitsujiTMOTJ-: block size is listed here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6816153/19:53
TJ-rustuptwist: We've got a sneaky workaround for you, give us a few minutes19:53
TJ-hitsujiTMO: Using that as my base19:53
rustuptwistso we can use any of those drives as long  as they dont contain the win7 system resources, programs, etc. with me TJ– and hitsujiTMO ?19:53
rustuptwistTJ-:  cool btw system reserved is total of 104.9mb / 25.4 used 79.4 free according to properties box via Ubuntu19:55
TJ-rustuptwist: We're going one better, the plan is to make a backup of the current sda4 in *unused* space at the end of the drive. That then allows us to 'delete' sda4 entry, replace it with an Extended partition entry, and then create new partitions as we need to. The first will be sda5 and we'll then copy the back-up from the end of the drive back but into sda5... then we can allocate the unused space from the end of the drive for Ubuntu19:56
rustuptwistTJ-:  i dont have an extra drive' sitting around though it that is what is needed, meaning external HD19:56
rustuptwist*if19:56
Beldartekk, I know nothing about broadcom, however I have the feeing that most need drivers loaded and setup in general, I suspect few work out of the box, have you looked at the broadcom wiki?19:57

LinnakCan I ask why Ubuntu always based on the Testing version of Debian an not the Stable one?20:03
rustuptwistTJ-:  yeah it appears that one is basically empty, one of the 74gb partition and the 210gb are both pretty much empty of anything20:03
TJ-hitsujiTMO: OK, take your time20:03
rustuptwistTJ-:  ok then I will copy and paste if possible20:04
TJ-Linnak: To ensure we get the latest packages to stay in sync with Debian longer20:04
rustuptwist!debian20:04
ubottuUbuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!20:04
TJ-rustuptwist: That's good - I'll provide all commands inside double-quote marks precisely as they should be run20:04
rustuptwistTJ-:  ok sounds good20:04
LinnakWhy is the fresness is more important than stability?20:05
TJ-rustuptwist: whilst we're waiting for hitsujiTMO we may as well start the back-up of sda4, since that won't upset anything20:05
bekksLinnak: Because you can choose between LTS and non-LTS.20:05
rustuptwistTJ-:  ok20:05
Linnakbekks, What do you mean?20:05
bekks!lts | Linnak20:06
ubottuLinnak: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04)20:06
MonkeyDustLinnak  discussions in #ubuntu-offtopic please20:06
LinnakI know, but that wasn't a queston20:06
Linnakok20:06
BeldarLinnak, You would have to ask canonical or look on the web as to why they choose the testing version.20:06
YamakasY_is it possible to update my local repo with puppet 3.x instead of 2.7 when using 12.04 ?20:07

JanaK Hi.  I'm trying to understand using /etc/fstab correctly.  I want to resize /dev/shm on boot.  I understand systemd handles it for default, but that we override in /etc/fstab.  My question is about the right usage in /etc/fstab.20:08
dorothyI had Fedora installed on my HDD, and then using fedora I deleted a 30 GB Fat32 partition, but then when I restarted the computer nothing worked, after my bios screen there was just a blinking cursor, so I installed Fedora 20 from a USB onto the 30GB of now free space of my HDD, but the installation failed halfway through and now my HDD which previously had a 700 GB NTFS partition with windows and all my files on it just shows up as a 1000GB LVM2 PV, an20:08
dorothyd I can no longer access my files. So it seems half way through the installation it failed to partition the drive properly and now all my files are gone... My drive now has one single 1000GB partition which says Contents LVM2 Physical Volume, so its made this logical volume which has taken over my actual partitions!20:08
dorothySo, what I would really really love advice for is how I can go about removing or redirecting the LVM partition back to NTFS, or basically in any way possible just boot into windows, from which I can reformat a portion of my drive, install fedora on it, and live happily ever after20:08
FloodBot1dorothy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.20:08
JanaKSpecifically,  I see online examples of fstab entries for it with "shm /dev/shm ...", "none /dev/shm ..." and "tmpfs /dev/shm".20:08
bekkstl;dr :)20:08
JanaKWhat's the right usage?20:08
YamakasY_kostkon: puppet has their own puppet repo for it, but I need to have 3.x installed during my preseed install20:08
TJ-rustuptwist: This will take some time and you won't see *anything* reported back until it finished, so be patient20:08

kostkondorothy, this is a ubuntu support channel20:09
MonkeyDustshe's already gone20:09
kostkonYamakasY_, right. can't help you on that20:10
rustuptwistTJ-:  ok pasted it. waiting on results20:10
YamakasY_kostkon: ok20:11
TJ-rustuptwist: Could be 10 minutes plus... be *very* patient20:11
hitsujiTMOTJ-: i would have set a much larger bs and downsized the seek. the seek times are gonne take forever20:11
TJ-hitsujiTMO: I did it that way to be able to use identifiable sector offsets in the seek value20:12
rustuptwistTJ-:  this is day #3 on this ubuntu install so we are learning patience...20:12
TJ-hitsujiTMO: We could stop it and redo it with 100MB bs ?20:13
hitsujiTMOTJ-: its gonna be copying over 512 bytes at a time and loosing about 10ms between every read and write20:13
hitsujiTMOTJ-: yup we could20:13
TJ-hitsujiTMO: not entirely... the kernel reads ahead into its cache20:13
TJ-hitsujiTMO: but yeah, a big block would help20:13
TJ-hitsujiTMO: care to do the math? :p20:14
hitsujiTMOTJ-: will do. give me a min20:14
TJ-hitsujiTMO: hehehe as long as the offset is divisible by the block-size with no remainder :)20:14
TJ-rustuptwist: You may be able to tell, hitsujiTMO and I are discussing cancelling the current copy and redoing it with a more efficient set of numbers that'll speed it up considerably20:15

hitsujiTMOTJ-: ok, if we go for a bs of 1MB and a seek of 406201 this should start the data at offset 83189964820:17
dorothyHi kll, i've tried that but they have no idea, I thought it might be a more standard linux issue,20:17
dorothyhow to go about fixing a LVM partition that has overwritten a NTFS one20:17

bekksdorothy: Restore your backup, generally.20:18
hitsujiTMOTJ-: we can cat yes to there for a count of 1 for a quick test to make sure20:18
TJ-hitsujiTMO: I was looking at using a multiple of the physical sector size... and came up with  bs=10485760020:19
hitsujiTMOTJ-: thats 100M20:19
TJ-hitsujiTMO: Yes... it'd put the start at seek=73400320020:20
Hilikushey guys. i have a really annoying problem that i imagine it must be created by a configuration but i can't find the cause. when i create a playlist of more than one song, playback stops at the end of every song when using the html5 player, when using VLC what happens is that at the end of the song it jumps back 5 seconds, plays again, at the ends jumps back 5 seconds, etc in an infinite loop20:20
TJ-hitsujiTMO: sorry, it'd put the start at sector 73400320020:21
hitsujiTMOTJ-: that would be a seek of 4062 and end up at 83189760020:21
HilikusAmpache 3.6-alpha6+FUTURE20:21
TJ-hitsujiTMO: I reckon your math is doing better than mine tonight :)20:21
TJ-hitsujiTMO: show me the intended values and I'll recheck it to be sure :)20:21
hitsujiTMOTJ-: just using the original sector counts: echo $((831899696 / (2048 * 100)))20:22
hitsujiTMOTJ-: echo $((831899696 / (2048 * 100) * 2048 * 100))20:22
TJ-hitsujiTMO: careful... integer rounding errors!20:22
hitsujiTMOTJ-: yup integers round dowm20:23
TJ-hitsujiTMO: I/O is 4096 ... I infer you use 2048 as the I/O size?20:23
hitsujiTMOTJ-: yup integers round down. hence why i multiply up again to get the effected sector start20:23
millertiPerform all of your sums and products first, and divide last.20:23
hitsujiTMOTJ-: no. base block size is 512, 2048 blocks is 1M.20:23
TJ-hitsujiTMO: which ought to be an integer multiple fo 409620:24
millertiWell, unless you WANT the truncation in a particular place.20:24
hitsujiTMOTJ-: yes, it is20:24
TJ-hitsujiTMO: using 4096 I get: "echo $((831899696 / (4096 * 50) * 4096 * 50))"  = 83189760020:25
millertiOk, so what do you want to calculate now?20:25
millertiHow many blocks are required for X bytes?20:25
millertiHow big is a block?20:26
hitsujiTMOTJ-: verifyable by: echo $(((697833471 - 552960000 + 1) * 512))                 being the total size matching the size reported here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6816323/20:26
millertiLet F be the file size and B be the block size.  The number of blocks you need is (F+B-1)/B20:26
TJ-hitsujiTMO: looks good. Do you want to go ahead and tell rustuptwist  to cancel the current 'dd' or shall we show him how to get a status update via a USR1 signal first... it might be almsot done!20:27
millertiYou can get the on-disk bytes by ((F+B-1)/B)*B20:27
hitsujiTMOTJ-: get the status first20:27
millertiAssuming integer math.20:27
TJ-rustuptwist: Are you using a GUI shell terminal in that Live session?20:27
TJ-rustuptwist: if so, we need you to open an additional tab with a fresh shell in it, by ensuring that the terminal window has focus and then pressing Ctrl+Shift+T.20:28
hitsujiTMOmillerti: were're moving a partition to free space so we can create an extended volume in place.20:28
TJ-rustuptwist: then, you can so "sudo kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)" .... and tab back to the shell running dd. Shortly, you should see a status update telling how much data has been transferred and at what speed20:29
rustuptwistTJ-:  not sure if I am using a 'GUI  shell.20:29
TJ-rustuptwist: tell us what those numbers are, and we can decide whether its worth cancelling it to do it the more efficient way20:30
TJ-rustuptwist: If it is a window with a title-bar that says "Terminal" it is the GUI terminal application20:30
rustuptwistTJ-:  ok back up a second. what do i do 'right now'20:30
TJ-rustuptwist: if so, we need you to open an additional tab with a fresh shell in it, by ensuring that the terminal window has focus and then pressing Ctrl+Shift+T.20:30
rustuptwistTJ-:  top left hand corner of the desktop says Terminal.20:31
TJ-rustuptwist: That's good :) press Ctrl+Shift+T and you should get a new tab open with a command prompt20:32
hitsujiTMOrustuptwist: so just hit: ctrl + shift + t, this will create a new tab20:32
rustuptwistTJ-:  so I should enter sudo kill, etc20:32
TJ-rustuptwist: You should now have a fresh shell prompt and you can do "sudo kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)" .... and tab back to the shell running dd. Shortly, you should see a status update telling how much data has been transferred and at what speed20:32
TJ-hitsujiTMO: by now I bet its almost done :)20:33

hitsujiTMOJordan_U: create an extened partition in place of an existing partition, while dumping the existing partition to the unallocated free space21:10
hitsujiTMOrustuptwist: it will, give it a few mins and then we'll see how fast its going21:10
Jordan_UhitsujiTMO: And what is the end goal?21:11
Jordan_UhitsujiTMO: And do you mean a logical partition (which is a partition inside an extended partition)?21:11
hitsujiTMOJordan_U: the user has a mbr partition with 4 partitions, none extended. creating an extended partition in place of the last partition. then creating a logical partition to house the old sda421:12
Jordan_UhitsujiTMO: With the end goal of being able to have more than 4 partitions?21:15
hitsujiTMOJordan_U: yes21:15

Jordan_UhitsujiTMO: So are you trying to conserve the contents of all of the original 4 partitions?21:16
hitsujiTMOJordan_U: yes. right now we're just writing the partition to free space. the user doesn't have a spare drive to use an an interim storage21:17
TJ-hitsujiTMO: back :)21:19
hitsujiTMOsonofrustuptwist: ok, in the other terminal tab can you run: sudo kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)21:19
hitsujiTMOsonofrustuptwist: we can then guestimate when the operation will be finished21:20
rustuptwisthitsujiTMO:  ok just a min21:20
Jordan_UhitsujiTMO: fixparts can often convert a partition from primary to logical-within-extended in place.21:20
Thor446_I (finally!) have Ubuntu working! However, I can't seem to connect to wifi. It just loads for a minute then says Im offline, I was disconnected21:21

Jordan_UhitsujiTMO: And gdisk can usually convert to GPT in place, which would solve the problem of being able to add more partitions very cleanly (though would be problematic if this is a dual boot with Windows senario).21:22
hitsujiTMOJordan_U: yes its a dual boot scenario21:23

jarainfHow would I go on about that?21:24
daftykinsjarainf: that is not an ubuntu support question i'm afraid21:26
hitsujiTMOJordan_U: seeing no info on man fixparts for doing such a thing. there's the "l" option to convert to logical but also states: This option will only work if the current partition layout supports such  a  change.     doesn't state what the layout requirements are21:27
DJonesjarainf: Maybe worth trying in #openwrt for that21:27
extorMy /bin and /boot directories are gone. I cannot launch a shell. I do have some gnome functionality. Is there any way I can use the software center to recover these files? A console proggy would be very useful21:28
hitsujiTMOsonofrustuptwist: ok, can you run it once again: sudo kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)21:29
Gallomimiaextor my number 1 suggestion is to pop the drive out and mount it on a functioning system to recover all the files you need, then reformat it21:30
extorGallomimia, I'd rather reinstall on the same drive21:31
TJ-hitsujiTMO: Jordan_U: fixparts is no good in the this scenario since the MBR is full, and there are no inter-partition gaps to slip an extended into.21:31
Gallomimiayes. but recover the files to something quick21:31

ZCitruso/ dudes. I was about to try to set up a dual boot of steamos, and I figured I should make sure that the drive I was about to overwrite was indeed empty. When I opened it up in gparted, under "Flags" it says boot....but I did not think that was the drive I was booting off of22:01
Ampelbeinextor: How do you copy without cp, mv etc?22:01
extorUnfortunately my ubuntu distro 10.04 is no longer supported22:01
bekksAmpelbein: A live cd has those tools.22:01
extorAmpelbein, I do it with filezilla to a temp place and then boot via a live CD22:01
bekksextor: Then take that chance and reinstall 12.0422:01
ZCitrusDoes the gparted "boot" flag indeed mean that's the drive I'm booting off of? If so, that's...weird.22:01
horsesCanFlyHello people, I have a doubt. I have hybrid graphics. Nvidia and integrated intel. And never use this before. There is any advantage on using intel over nvidia using bumblebee or like low temperatures on intel in comparation to nvdia or I shouldn't even bother with bumblebee and using the nvidia card?22:01
extorwell problem is it will be a live DVD22:02
Ampelbeinbekks, extor Then why don't you use the livecd to start and rebuild your system from there?22:02
bekksZCitrus: The boot flag is irrelevant for two decaded now.22:02
bekksAmpelbein: Thats what I just suggested.22:02
extorAmpelbein, because I don't have a cdrom installed, just usbs22:02
sonofrustuptwistTJ-: Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6816898/22:02
ZCitrusOK, so the fact that it only shows 7.5GB used in gparted would then be indicative that, basically, the only data being "used" is just whatever's lost due to formatting?22:02
bekksextor: You can install 12.04 from USB.22:03
extorbekks...what should I download then22:03

ZCitrusbut i guess what it looks like i should do is figure out which drive corresponds to /sdb/, go on there, check to see22:07
SchrodingersScatZCitrus: maybe you mean space that ext4 leaves for root?22:07
hitsujiTMOTJ-: yeah, ok. I'm just worried in case the extended writes to the end of the partition aswell.22:07
ZCitrusprobably? that sounds reasonable22:08
TJ-rustuptwist: doh! I forgot to give the drive name! "sudo dosfsck -n /dev/loop1 2>&1 | pastebinit"22:08
ZCitrusI just know when I opened up gparted, I saw that 1) there was a flag of "boot" and 2) there were 7.5GB marked as "used"22:08
bekksZCitrus: How is that related to "I want to be sure wether the device is empty"?22:08
TJ-hitsujiTMO: I've never seen that happen, the extended is a single sector that looks like an MBR in layout, but only fills 2 slots, one for a logical, and a 2nd pointing to the next extended in the chain, which'll be put immediately after sda522:09
ZCitrusBecause I'm worried there is stuff on the device?22:09
ZCitrusSpecifically, stuff I wouldn't want to lose.\22:09
Gallomimiaif you're worried stuff is on the device, back it up?22:09
hitsujiTMOTJ-: yeah, i'b just thinking of gpt where it writes a back to the end of the drive22:09
bekksZCitrus: Then backup the device?22:09
horsesCanFlyGallomimia, I see a lot of people using the optimus technology and I was wondering if there was any good effects on doing that. The only reason I can remember is the temperature thing. Right now I'm using22:09
TJ-hitsujiTMO: We could start of by limiting the size of the extended itself so it ends before the start of the back-up, and then change that later to the entire drive?22:09
ZCitrusI think before I back up something that may or may not be on there, I should probably just figure out if there is anything on there.22:10
ZCitrusSo that's what I'm going to do22:10
sonofrustuptwistTJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6816931/22:10
hitsujiTMOTJ-: yeah, thats what i was suggesting with the above start and end points22:10
bekksZCitrus: And you dont need any boot flags for doing that.22:10
TJ-hitsujiTMO: I'm a bit concerned about dosfsck appearing to report 0 FATs !22:10
TJ-hitsujiTMO: ahhh, you said 'logical' which to me meant sda5, not the extended partition :)22:10
horsesCanFlyGallomimia, I just remember on asking here because there is a lot of people. Was hopping that someone knew :P22:10
hitsujiTMOTJ-: is it ntfs?22:10
ZCitrusYeah, the deal with the boot flag was simply, I saw the boot flag, and was worried that it means ubuntu (which I thought was installed ona  different drive) was installed on that drive, and that's what the boot flag meant22:10
ZCitrusApparently I was wrong22:10
TJ-hitsujiTMO: oh. my. god.!! My brain has gone22:11

TJ-rustuptwist: To make that clearer, we start 'fdisk /dev/sda'. It requires single key-presses as commands, we "delete partition 4" (d 4), "create an extended partition covering the entire remainder of the drive" (n e Enter enter), "create a new logical partition #5 of 72GB" (n l 5 Enter +144873472) "print the partition table" (p) and finally "write changes to disk" (w).22:32

odie5533I log in to an Ubuntu VPS. Should I be logging in as root and then doing su to drop to users to run programs, or should I not be logging in as root?23:39

k1l!sudo | odie553323:40
ubottuodie5533: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo23:40
